I want to add the other hard disk too. [00:14] Before I give up, is there anyone who has used a TV-tuner using ATSC, or made something work in the US ? [00:14] philip__: you need to add it to the grub line.. and I'm no expert. do you know the boot-line? [00:14] who is gdm [00:14] philip__: assuming AVL runs/boots on grub [00:14] MayhemictioN: gdm=gnome desktop manager [00:14] philip__, run sudo update-grub in the OS using grub [00:14] graphical? [00:14] !gdm [00:14] XGaryG: you have a hauppauge what? [00:14] Sorry, had to reboot [00:14] ahh [00:15] Hey guys, anyone know how I can transfer ebooks to my iPad in Ubuntu?

[00:15] I would like to choose a different kernel at boot but grub doesn't seem to come up [00:15] how can I get it to come up so I can choose [00:15] tyler_d, yes! [00:15] !grub [00:15] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [00:16] lesshaste: very good [00:16] XGaryG: it appears to work - see http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-950Q [00:16] lesshaste: left shift [00:16] XGaryG, you need a program to see tv, that is? [00:16] I thought too about updating grub. But on which disk? The one doesn't shown ? [00:16] lesshaste, you need to edit /etc/default/grub and run `sudo grub-update` [00:16] Alright it works when I use /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java [00:16] XGaryG: perhaps kernel 3+ is an issue? don't know! [00:16] philip__: it only reads off of one disk right.. that "primary" tells it where to go next [00:16] then type the rest of the command @pepee [00:17] what is going on with avahi, then? Every single public DNS server that I've tried has an SOA for .local. How does anyone actually use avahi then? [00:17] philip__: so the line needs to be added to whatever your bios says is the first in the boot sequence [00:17] mv: cannot stat `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000': No such file or directory [00:17] What port local port does mount.cifs use? I looked at 445 and 139 with netcat and it doesn't show anything... [00:17] I have tried xbmc, totem, vlc, tvtime, and xawtv. No Dice. [00:17] OrangeAngel, remove java 7 [00:17] I've tried. [00:17] Crazydan: never got the answer, where did you see that error? [00:17] XGaryG: have you installed the firmware? [00:17] OrangeAngel, probably your other install is corrupted, or just incompatible [00:17] ok i got it. thanks tyler_d. [00:17] philip__: np [00:17] Yes. Direct from their site. [00:17] pfifo, I just installed grub-pc (on oneiric) was that a mistake?> [00:18] XGaryG, try mplayer [00:18] lesshaste, no [00:18] I was trying to do aptitude update [00:18] philip__, fdisk -l will show you which disk is bootable [00:18] XGaryG: sorry, i don't have any further suggestions. good luck. [00:18] mplayer does not handle TV, does it? [00:18] Crazydan: through a gui or the terminal? [00:18] XGaryG: it does [00:18] XGaryG, yes it does [00:18] lesshaste: so ... you don't wanna hold the left-shift key during boot before grub loads? :-) [00:18] XGaryG: mplayer can do anything ;) [00:18] Terminal [00:18] No gui :/ [00:18] Would I run it from a terminal? [00:18] Crazydan: pastebin the output again plz [00:19] So how would I go about removing the other java? [00:19] sparky-, that's fine but I would like to see it by default [00:19] XGaryG: mplayer is suppose to be run from terminal ;) [00:19] sparky-, I assume GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [00:19] GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true [00:19] is causing the problem [00:19] It is not the GUI. It is that nothing is compatible with ARSC. [00:19] XGaryG: there are some gui frontends that might make your life easier! smplayer i hear is good (i only use mplayer-nogui but that's just me) [00:20] with ATSC [00:20] there isn't anything in the java-7-oracle folder. [00:20] lesshaste: /etc/default/grub [00:20] pfifo, sudo grub-update [00:20] sudo: grub-update: command not found [00:20] update-grub ! [00:20] XGaryG, try, in the terminal, mplayer tv:// [00:20] lesshaste, its update-grub [00:20] thx [00:20] digitalslave, both of my hard disks are - were, bootable. [00:22] zykotick9: THat brings up my webcam. [00:22] philip__, in that case you would go with bios selection [00:22] XGaryG: that's another video device - working as designed. change inputs somehow. [00:22] The webcam is /dev/video0 and the TV is at /dev/video1 [00:22] "The program 'java' can be found in the following packages:" Now I have this error after removing java-7-oracle... I have openjdk 6 installed though.

Mouse clicks do nothing. [00:25] I've tried to purge the package before. using sudo apt-get remove --purge package [00:25] XGaryG: in terminal try "apt-cache search mythbuntu" and look for some control panel package, it might be helpful (not sure what dependencies it has, hopefully not many. if it's all of myth (and i don't think it is) forget it. [00:25] hi, i'm trying ot setup a ssh tunnel from my home computer to a remote server using the following command "ssh -N -p 22 master -L 6000/localhost/25", but when i try to telnet to a MX server using port 6000, i stil get a connection timed out. does anyone know what i might be misssing? [00:25] XGaryG, http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html [00:25] digitalslave, nope. It is as tyler_d said. grub can override bios settings. [00:26] hi, i installed phpmyadmin using apt but i have no idea where it put the web stuff [00:26] OrangeAngel, try reinstalling it, then removing it again. looks like something is corrupted [00:26] alright [00:26] (right now i have everything configured so ssh master logs me intot he remote machine) [00:26] boxbeatsy: well the command should read ssh -N -p 22 master -L 6000:localhost:25 for starters [00:26] i need to make a virtual host using whatever location that is as its web root [00:27] philip__, yes it can but grub is install where you boot from initially. [00:27] What if I dont know the package name anymore :/? [00:27] pastebin.com/Q8GECU57 [00:27] several blogs / tutorials seem to suggest its magically set up with apache which is obviously false [00:27] speciesUnknown, locate -i phpmyadmin | less [00:27] tyler_d: ah ok, yea im still getting a time out though :\ [00:27] speciesUnknown, run `dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/` or similiar [00:27] Its times like these I do apt-get moo... [00:27] boxbeatsy: can you just do the ssh withought the forward for testing? [00:28] tyler_d: yea, ssh master logs me into the remote machine just fine [00:28] It asks me to do the same command with lots of stuff [00:28] i'm behind a router though. do i ned to set up port forwarding through the router? [00:28] pepee: its not an executable, its a web application - you have to run it through apache [00:28] OrangeAngel, haha [00:28] philip__, you asked where it was. ive seen people install grub in multiple locations and then wonder why it doesnt work [00:28] boxbeatsy: absolutely [00:28] speciesUnknown, I know [00:28] But the command is broken [00:28] boxbeatsy: oh no you shouldn't need to [00:28] speciesUnknown, run `dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/` or similiar [00:29] speciesUnknown, locate will find files/directory that contains "phpmyadmin" in the path [00:29] boxbeatsy: ssh to the server, then hit enter 3 times... or some random thats more than 1... then ~C [00:29] Is there any way to do dns queries on ports other than 53? My isp is actually redirecting all DNS calls to their own DNS server, preventing me from using any other server. (For example, I can do a "host google.ca 200.254.254.1 " and actually get a response from my ISP) [00:29] www6 [00:29] boxbeatsy: and try -L <>:localhost:<> [00:29] pepee: well, it finds nothing [00:29] speciesUnknown, if it doesn't find it, try sudo updatedb.mlocate , and then run locate [00:29] going all the way up the dns? [00:30] mbeierl, you just need to override those [00:30] tyler_d: ok i did the first part, wait. do i need to set up the ssh tunnel on my remote server? [00:30] boxbeatsy: just a reverse tunnel is all [00:30] mbeierl, edit /etc/resolv.conf with the nameservers you want [00:30] I want to make a backup of mu home folder into an external HDD, if I copy paste, will that copy my hidden files too? [00:31] speciesUnknown, /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ /etc/phpmyadmin/ /var/lib/phpmyadmin [00:31] tyler_d: i'll have to setup port forwarding on my router for a reverse tunnel right? [00:31] boxbeatsy: just to see if possibly it just doesn't like the actual in use... resolution maybe... [00:31] pepee: yeah i found it now, thanks [00:31] boxbeatsy: no [00:31] pepee When I did this, I got this error. http://pastie.org/3717783 [00:31] tyler_d: i'm a bit confused on how this works exactly [00:31] digitalslave, sorry i can't follow right now. spend 12 hours to make a driver compile on squeeze, and 1 + 1 equals a7e75ur848%^6ehd to me now... :) [00:31] speciesUnknown, you are welcome :) [00:31] tyler_d: very sorry, but what command should i execute on my rmote server again? [00:32] digitalslave: why likewise? [00:32] Http://www.pastebin.com/Q8GECU57 [00:32] digitalslave: sorry - to be clear. It does not matter what dns entry I put into /etc/resolv.conf. My ISP detects the outgoing call on port #53/UDP and redirects it to their own servers. I can put complete garbage into there and it still works. [00:32] OrangeAngel, hmm very strange :/ [00:32] boxbeatsy: enter enter, ~C , -L <>:localhost:<> [00:32] Happened last time I installed it also. [00:32] boxbeatsy: then from your local machine try to connect to <> [00:33] mbeierl, can you pastebin the output of `dig 8.8.8.8 google.com` [00:33] Is there a way to have mplayer scan for channels? [00:33] OrangeAngel, looks like something is corrupted in your system. check your disk and memory modules [00:33] tyler_d: i'm pretty sure i'm doing something stupid. i'm getting "-L: command not found" on my remote server [00:33] tyler_d: dont forget to mention how sweet that is [00:33] :( [00:33] how? [00:33] tyler_d: i'm logging into my server via ssh with "ssh master". then, i'm doing what you just said [00:33] digitalslave, and you're right. the best recipe would be to boot from live cd, and purge - reinstall everything. [00:33] OrangeAngel, that, or the package itself is corrupted [00:34] I'm pretty sure it's the package [00:34] because I can install other stuff fine. [00:34] it's just that [00:34] My package is tiny [00:34] drecute, if you dont want to mess with all the pieces of getting AD authentication to work likewise will do it for you in 5 minutes [00:34] Like 3kb [00:34] OrangeAngel, fsck to check filesystem, memtest (from grub) to check memory [00:34] pfifo: yep. just a moment [00:35] OrangeAngel, run aptitude update and then try reinstalling [00:35] OrangeAngel, check if there are differences [00:35] pepee: thanks dude, i got it working now (can access phpmyadmin) [00:35] boxbeatsy: k, so we are using the escape sequence... (man ssh) which by default is ~ and to open a tunnel is C so its, enter enter, ~C, then to open a tunnel to the server you are on, you need to do -L for the tunnel part... and then the port you want to connect with on your local machine then : an dthe remote ip or in this case, localhost, and the remote port to forward to [00:35] pepee: one more thing though, is it better to make a copy, or use a symlink? i.e. should I be preserving the stuff in var? === eights is now known as Guest66747 [00:35] speciesUnknown, IIRC should work from http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin [00:35] alrighty. [00:35] No moar help here? [00:36] I'll have to restart to do fsck wont I? [00:36] tyler_d: ooo i thought ~C meant ctrl+c, ok hold up [00:36] pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912282/ But, to make sure my issue is understood: I have a new satellite link ISP and they are using some form of masq internally to redirect all DNS traffic to their own servers [00:36] pepee: it doesnt, because it somehow detects that i modified my sites-enabled/default and didnt bother with anything beyond DB setup during the installer [00:37] boxbeatsy: so all together would be enter enter, ~C, -L <>:localhost:<> [00:37] mbeierl, sorry, its `dig @8.8.8.8 google.com` can you do that instead [00:37] pfifo: yep [00:37] tyler_d: ok, i get "Forwarding port" now [00:37] speciesUnknown, symlink for? [00:37] very good [00:37] pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912285/ [00:37] speciesUnknown, I make a copies when changing thinkgs [00:37] tyler_d: but then on my local machine i'm trying "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 6000" and it's still timing out [00:38] pepee: i.e. i set my default host to /var/www in a virtual host file, and created /var/www/phpmyadmin in there [00:38] boxbeatsy: what is the server listening to? [00:38] pepee: the result is that localhost/phpmyadmin now works [00:38] Crazydan, try restarting, it could work somehow... [00:38] tyler_d: i did -L 6000:localhost:25 [00:38] pepee: im wondering if im "supposed" to use a symlink to the stuff in /var/usr instead of a copy though [00:38] pfifo: what would you be looking for in the paste that would indicate it's really going to the REAL 8.8.8.8 and not being intercepted? [00:38] boxbeatsy: so you are trying to forward port 25 of the server to your local port 6000? [00:39] speciesUnknown, should work without making a copy [00:39] speciesUnknown, in any case you can just purge the package and reinstall [00:39] mbeierl, line 25, it appears to be hitting 8.8.8.8, i think you may be mistaken [00:39] no, it doesnt, my best guess being that the installer silently disapproves of my modified apache configs [00:39] boxbeatsy: use the same hostname as the ssh you had [00:39] tyler_d: right, i'm trying to query MX servers from my local machine, but outgoing connections via port 25 are blocked by my dsl provider [00:39] boxbeatsy: brb [00:39] Ya i tried restarting [00:40] speciesUnknown, phpmyadmin is not in /var/www in my system [00:40] mbeierl, who is your isp? [00:40] Other than that,not much [00:40] Its why i'm here [00:40] pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912287/ <- result of dig @251.254.254.254 google.com which should not give an answer [00:40] pepee: maybe my virtual hosts somehow override whatever mechanism the install script uses to set up localhost/phpmyadmin [00:40] Idk how to fix a box without a gui [00:40] digitalslave: Xplornet (formerly Barrett/Hughes). Canada. [00:41] Let alone linux [00:41] Crazydan, I'll help you [00:41] wait a moment, please [00:41] speciesUnknown, probably. don't know about virtual hosts, but if you want me to check something, I will do it [00:42] pepee: i edited sites-enabled/default so that the default web root was a rails app, and then I changed it back to /var/www [00:42] tyler_d: ah, i think i'm misunderstanding what a ssh tunnel does. what i'm trying to do is get "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25" to work, but since outgoing connections on port25 are blocked locally, i'm trying to setup the ssh tunnel, but then the command "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 6000" doesnt seem to go through the tunnel [00:42] Crazydan, sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/updates/0000 === enroxorz is now known as JohnRedcorn [00:42] Followed a guide on how to install iTunes 10 in Ubuntu, and it failed miserably. Can't say that I'm surprised, nothing at all works on this crap box [00:43] why the virtualbox don't start more when i update the ubuntu? [00:43] tyler_d: if i do "telnet localhost 6000" i do see "channel 5: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused" on my remote machien though [00:43] speciesUnknown, sites-enabled/default ? I only see that in nginx [00:44] Ricardoooo, what version? do you get an error message?

[00:52] portugues [00:52] Imma just reinstall :/ [00:52] pepee: yes [00:52] pepee, portugues [00:52] tyler_d: right...i think i have a fundamental misunderstanding of what ssh tunneling is doing. basically, the problem i'm trying to solve is that i cant do "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25" because outgoing local connectiosn are blocked on that port, so i decided i should set up an ssh tunnel through a remote server that i know can execute that command just fine. is that logical? [00:52] hi guys, i can't shutdown or restart ubuntu [00:52] Zaitzev, did you use winetricks? [00:52] it always hangs on the ubuntu screen with the 4 little dots [00:52] Took 2 hours to install this morning [00:52] Ricardoooo, ask in #vbox . also, there is a channel for ubuntu pt/br [00:53] !pt [00:53] Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. [00:53] boxbeatsy: why can you not have an outbound port 25 connection? [00:53] yo [00:53] tyler_d: my isp has it blocked [00:53] yopj [00:53] digitalslave: No, I have no idea what that does differently, like I said, I followed the steps in the video [00:53] pfifo: sorry - on phone with isp. missed that request. doing it now [00:53] boxbeatsy: outbound port 25 is blocked? [00:54] tyler_d: yea, like if i do "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25" locally, i get a "no route to host" [00:54] pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912300/ [00:54] boxbeatsy: then yes, you are looking for an SSH tunnel [00:54] boxbeatsy: ok, so from your "server" try that command [00:54] You need an external machine that can connect to port 25 [00:54] pepee, i try help in ubuntu-br but no one cant help me [00:55] tyler_d: ya, from my server it works correctly [00:55] Ricardoooo, ask in #vbox then [00:55] rtnb, have you messed up your partitions? is it a clean install? [00:55] Ricardoooo, give them the error message [00:55] pepee, he device helper structure version has changed. [00:55] If you have upgraded VirtualBox recently, please make sure you have terminated all VMs and upgraded any extension packs. If this error persists, try re-installing VirtualBox. (VERR_PDM_DEVHLPR3_VERSION_MISMATCH). [00:55] it was a clean install but idk if my partitions are optimal [00:55] this is a error menssage [00:55] i have windows on 1 disk, and ubuntu / storage partitioned on another [00:55] pepee, this is a error menssage [00:55] tyler_d: i was under the impression that once i setup the tunnel we've been discussing, i could do telnet alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 6000 on my local machine and that would work, but it's not [00:56] Hello all, my theme keeps randomly changing. Any ideas as to figure out why? Thanks [00:56] Whatsup with Chromium and flash? [00:56] boxbeatsy: Nope. Close though. The tunnel routes the traffic automatically to alt1.gmail... [00:56] boxbeatsy: so, it would be "telnet localhost 6000" [00:56] mbeierl, ok how about 'dig google.com +trace' [00:56] Ricardoooo, again, ask in that channel. they know better than I [00:56] boxbeatsy: which is then tunneled out through the external server, over to alt1.gmail [00:56] boxbeatsy: you are tyring a double forward in a sence [00:57] pepee, thanks [00:57] boxbeatsy: you are in a sence trying to use your server as a proxy for mail [00:57] Ricardoooo, you are welcome [00:57] tyler_d: wassy121_ exactly, except i'm not mailing, just verifying emails [00:57] Crazydan left :/ [00:58] tyler_d: wassy121_ so when i do telnet localhost 6000 i get "connection closed by foreign hsot" [00:58] boxbeatsy: so your server needs to have something to handle proxy like nginx [00:58] boxbeatsy: because there is no application listening to that port on your server [00:58] tyler_d: I don't think that's true [00:58] rtnb, hard reboot, and chose recovery mode on bootup. then try to normally shutdown again. [00:58] tyler_d: Maybe we are proposing two different solutions [00:59] philip__ how to get recovery mode? [00:59] wassy121_: the tunnel he has created would connect 2025 to port 25 on the server... port 25 on his server is not listening or accepting connetions [01:00] when the grub menu shows up, you should see it in the options. [01:00] wassy121_: yah? [01:00] tyler_d: Ah, yes. You are right [01:00] boxbeatsy: so, on the server, can you run "netstat -pant | grep LIST", and look for port 25? [01:00] rtnb? [01:01] wassy121_: boxbeatsy you need to use your server as a "proxy" to connect there === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego [01:01] wassy121_: ya, i dont see anything relevant to port 25 [01:02] boxbeatsy: you need to look into squid [01:02] boxbeatsy: okay, so on your server (it's ubuntu?), install postfix and start it up [01:02] boxbeatsy: tyler_d you can just run postfix, and have it send mail that way. Or, is this only for a connection to gmail? [01:03] wassy121_: he isn't trying to send mail, only to scan for mail [01:03] boxbeatsy: oh, you are doing email verifications, so you need access to anywhere. [01:03] wassy121_: there we go [01:03] tricksy problem . . . [01:03] wassy121_: you're catching up ;) [01:03] tyler_d: i'm not entirely grasping how a proxy will help. once i setup the proxy will i be able to run "telnet alt1.gmail-smtp.google.com 2025" locally and it will work? or what do i need to do to be able to simply enable that functionality? [01:04] boxbeatsy: you would enable proxy on your machine and point it to the server(squid) and the app would then connect "through" your server to wherever you wanted [01:04] boxbeatsy: so, the dilemma is that you need to connect to external services (hotmail, gmail) on port 25 to verify if they respond properly to a "RCPT TO: " command . . . [01:04] boxbeatsy: is your isp really that sticky that you can't just call them and yell a bit [01:04] tyler_d: yea, i tried but they insisted i hadto pay an extra $100/month [01:04] boxbeatsy: an SSH tunnel is mean to forward one port to one port on a remote machine (that can connect anywher) === Johnny is now known as Guest81898 [01:05] boxbeatsy: why does this need to be run from your desktop (rather than an AWS or Cloud machine?) [01:05] boxbeatsy: but, the dilemma is that SSH tunnels connect to exactly one "place", you need the ability to connect to "any machine on port 25" [01:06] wassy121_: ah yea, i see now. [01:06] boxbeatsy: hence his suggestion to set up a proxy on the server, which I still don't feel like is an elegant solution [01:06] boxbeatsy: but it should work [01:07] boxbeatsy: wassy121_ look into a double-port forward [01:07] boxbeatsy: Is port 587 blocked? [01:07] tyler_d: wassy121_ bahhhh ok. i think i'm just going to run this on the remote server directly. i'll just have to allow my partner access to the machiine also. i do appreciate the help though! [01:07] boxbeatsy: or alternately modify your packet-filter to allow for incomming connections on port 25 [01:07] boxbeatsy: yah, its quite a pickle you're in.... but a fun one indeed :p [01:08] "My, that's a dilly of a pickle" [01:08] haha indeed. [01:08] you know what i'm going to just set this email verification check as a service on my remote server and then hit it locally [01:09] this way i can use it from any computer anywhere [01:09] boxbeatsy: I personally think thats the most elegant way to do it [01:09] ok! that is what i'll do then. thanks guys! tyler_d wassy121_ === gear4 is now known as zz_gear4 [01:10] boxbeatsy: your quite welcome. and I take back the proxy suggestion... that would fail... you need squid [01:11] how do i create a working ssh tunnel [01:11] haha Shinobi this might help: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/21/how-to-ssh-tunnels-for-secure-network-access/ [01:11] or scroll up and read my thread [01:11] the finger command outputs something it calls "idle time", when is a user idle from a terminal? [01:12] dageriv: when they finish executing their most recent command [01:12] aha thanks [01:12] pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/912317/ And... the ISP has confirmed they use a dns intercept at the modem level to minimize latency. Thanks for your help, but until they turn that off (new software load to the modem ~24hours) I am at their mercy. [01:12] boxbeatsy: I'll just cut to the chase... has anyone successfully tunneled mount.cifs over ssh? [01:12] i'm using 11.04, are there shortcuts for window movement and snapping, resizing ? === kuantu is now known as t5t3 [01:13] LinuxApprentice: I think that comes in Gnome 3.2, Ubuntu 12. [01:13] wassy121_, i see === t5t3 is now known as aeonhero [01:13] LinuxApprentice: oh, keyboard shortcuts, yes. Just no "snapping" to half-full-screen [01:14] LinuxApprentice: which is what I was talking about for Ubuntu 12 [01:14] Shinobi: I've done a poor-man's-vpn by tunnelling ppp over ssh and then mounting cifs over that, but, no I have not personally done direct cifs over ssh [01:14] wassy121_, like snapping window borders like on openbox [01:14] Does ubuntu 11.10 have any recent security flaws? I have reason to believe 5 or so random people from star chat are trying to hack my computer [01:14] I logged off from there, that place is scary [01:14] adrien2: what services do you run on your 11.10 box? [01:15] adrien2, scary? [01:15] yes [01:15] adrien2: ssh, apache, vpn, vnc, ...? [01:15] they scared the shit out of me [01:15] how do i check? [01:15] DasEi, hello?

[01:56] lightdm [01:56] DasEi, put it on usb? [01:56] Maybe I can isolate the problem === alan_ is now known as Guest43322 [01:56] ubuntu_: yes , it's a combo, including an image for usb [01:57] wrostek: not sure where the problem is [01:57] d/l it, mount it, dd it over , ubuntu_ [01:58] DasEi, what is "ddit over?" [01:58] hi [01:58] ubuntu_: iso is down ? might be fun on live [01:59] guest43322, hi [01:59] merci et bone surffffffff [01:59] DasEi, what? [01:59] ubuntu_: did you d/l the iso already ? [01:59] DasEi, it is on drive, now what? [01:59] DasEi, what is d/l?? [02:00] download [02:00] renode, thanks. [02:00] lol np [02:00] DasEi, yes. it is on the usb now. [02:00] ubuntu_: sudo mkdir /mnt/iso [02:01] ubuntu_: copy it to harddrive (the iso) === dmogle is now known as Guest15291 [02:01] DasEi, like on desktop? [02:01] ubuntu_: sudo mount -o loop /dev/sda1/blah%&§.iso /mnt/iso , yes where you like [02:01] Hi. Does Anyone Know If You're Able To Download And Install Ubuntu For Android Or Is It UnderConstruction. [02:02] how do I turn off the screen lock whenever the computer goes into standby in 11.10? [02:02] Avira is telling me to use the Root account to install AntiVir. Is there another way to do this but not use Root? [02:02] i1: in the planning stages still. Canonical is still doing marketing research from the looks of it [02:03] rajiv_: windows is a couple of windows down the hall, that way ---> [02:03] Oh, Nice Okay Thanks [02:03] mbeierl, sytem-settings-brightness lock [02:03] DasEi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/912367/ [02:04] mbeierl: man xscreensaver, xscreensaver-demo, it's also under system somewhere in the gui [02:04] sparky-, what do you mean? [02:04] Fyodorovna: nope. That is only for auto-lock after a timeout. What I need is for suspend to ram [02:04] Rajiv_: wouldnt think so. the installation script requires some steps to be taken with sufficent privs [02:05] ubuntu_: you really tried to mount blah%&§ ?? [02:05] DasEi: xscreensaver-demo is not installed. I can't find a configuration gui for it anywhere. [02:05] Rajiv_: what is the problem? [02:05] DasEi, yous told me to! [02:05] ubuntu_: sudo mount -o loop Path to file on hd /isoname.iso /mnt/iso , yes where you like [02:06] mbeierl, mine has a require password from suspend tick. [02:06] Fyodorovna: 11.10? Unity desktop? [02:06] tenX: I a trying to install Avira AntiVir. The manual tells me to log in as Root. Is there another way to install? [02:06] DasEi, please don't confuse me. [02:07] mbeierl, on precise now should be in 11.10 I believe. [02:07] ubuntu_: where did you save the iso ? [02:07] on the desktop [02:07] and my usb [02:07] Rajiv_: well the installation process demands privileges to f. e. copy config files to /etc and so on [02:07] Fyodorovna: nope. That's the problem :( I can't find it in any of the normal locations and the dash search isn't complete enough yet to help [02:07] ubuntu_: cd /mnt [02:08] which username you use on hd ? [02:08] DasEi, my usb? [02:08] hd [02:08] Rajiv_: besides i remember it to be running as another user (which has to be created and is a matter of privs as well) [02:08] Rajiv_: why is that a problem? [02:08] DasEi, my usbs name is BOBS BRAIN. [02:09] hd.. [02:09] my hd has no name. or that i know of [02:09] can someone *PLEASE* help me disable auto-raise in gnome-shell? [02:09] ubuntu_:you use a username on you hd os.. that is ? [02:09] anyone familiar with adding shortcuts to the cairo dock? [02:10] DasEi, i don't know! [02:10] tenX: The Root user page said to check with other people to see if there is a better way. [02:10] ubuntu i guess [02:10] ubuntu_:ls | pastebinit [02:10] Rajiv_: root user page? [02:10] hello [02:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/912374/ [02:11] ubuntu_:cd /home [02:11] ubuntu_:ls | pastebinit [02:11] im guessing xfce is not the default for ubuntu studio? [02:11] tenX: It's on the Ubuntu Community site. [02:11] I wan the focus to follow the mouse, but I do *NOT* want the windows to auto-raise [02:11] Does anyone use the Cairo dock? [02:12] DasEi, hd: /isoname.iso: No such file or directory [02:12] hd: /mnt/iso: Is a directory [02:12] ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ cd /mnt [02:12] ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ ls | pastebinit [02:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/912374/ [02:12] ubuntu@ubuntu:/mnt$ cd /home [02:12] ubuntu_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:12] ubuntu@ubuntu:/home$ ls | pastebinit [02:12] Is there an http server running on 8080 in v10.04? [02:12] ubuntu_: cd /mnt/home && ls | pastebinit [02:12] Shinobi: not by default. [02:13] You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. [02:13] hi [02:13] jrib: have you tried: localhost:8080 in firefox? [02:13] Shinobi: no. [02:13] try it [02:14] Shinobi: I don't have firefox nor 10.04 so not sure what the point would be [02:14] Is there a tool that fixes windows "unproperly removed/mount" fuck up on a USB or partition. I tried check with gparted, but no... [02:14] does anyone have an idea why only recovery mode will boot? i get no video when booting normal. Could it be becuase im running nvidia 8500 sli? [02:14] ubuntu_: if you are in /mnt/home, ls should show your users homedir [02:14] jrib: fair enough... I get redirected to the canonical site. I don't know why though... [02:14] DasEi, ... [02:15] What does windows do, mess up the write permissions to the partition table or something? [02:15] Shinobi: weird. Only in firefox? Only with port 8080? [02:15] Rajiv_: i cant see the point in your case. of course its always good to restrict access [02:15] Anyone know how to add shortcuts to the Cairo dock? [02:15] tom_hanks: boot into normal mode but runlevel 1, read /var/log/X.0.log (it'll be your last attempt to boot into graphics mode) [02:15] symlink? [02:15] Rajiv_: but under that consideration you install closed source software at the same time [02:15] ls -n [02:16] sparky-: Xorg.0.log [02:16] jrib: I only have firefox installed, no iceweasel or chrome [02:16] tenX: What do you mean by c [02:16] Good evening! ;) [02:16] Shinobi: use wget [02:16] Rajiv_: avira? [02:16] Sorry, hi everyone! ;) [02:17] It might have been installed with a package... but I'm not sure why it would redirect to canonical. [02:17] good idea [02:17] DasEi, well thanks for your help. i am tired want to sleep, maybe later, ok? [02:17] fine [02:17] tenX: So is there a way not to use Root but still install AntiVir? [02:18] Please, is there any Babylon Translator like that runs on Linux? === eon is now known as Guest48618 [02:20] * mbeierl thinks people need more patience rather than posting and quitting in under 10 minutes... [02:20] Rajiv_: dunno. could be possible supplying privileges for the installation process. but all in all i dont see your point [02:21] Is there anyone I can PM that can teach me how to enable repositories? or something of the sort anyway.... [02:21] daletron: we can do it here [02:22] !info goldendict | douglas-web-dev [02:22] douglas-web-dev: goldendict (source: goldendict): feature-rich dictionary lookup program.

[02:22] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android [02:22] daletron: have a repo or ppa line already ? [02:22] douglas-web-dev: It supports Babylon-format files as well. [02:22] im a major linux newb..... i dont even know what that is.... i'm just trying to follow the instructions on that link [02:22] # ensure that the "partner" repositories are enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list, or sun-java6-jdk won't be found [02:22] # Ubuntu 11.10 Java has been removed from partner, can be downloaded from Oracle [02:22] sudo apt-get update [02:22] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk mercurial ccache [02:22] daletron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:23] linux is easy windows noob [02:23] cool thx [02:23] .. [02:23] but anyway so i get to the part where i'm trying to type "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk mercurial ccache" [02:23] daletron: np, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:23] windows key runs files [02:23] they want you to hit windows key then type "gnome-terminal" [02:23] daletron: in a terminal [02:24] then enter commands into it [02:24] ok doing right now, one sec [02:24] That's nice! Thank you, Logan_. [02:24] douglas-web-dev: No problem. :-) [02:24] it was alt + f2, still is on my system [02:24] :) [02:24] had anyone installed any pinnacle usb tuner in ubuntu 11.10 ? [02:24] !repeat | black [02:24] black: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [02:24] it says "no command 'np,' found, did you mean..." [02:24] BlackAngelPR: ^ [02:24] black: Sorry. :-P [02:25] :p [02:25] anybody know why "parallel" comes from moreutils, which is different from gnu parallel? [02:25] wait nm one sec it's doing something..lol [02:25] do you have any idea where to get atleast generic drivers for the tv tunner? [02:26] daletron, they want you to run "sudo apt-get install *" * = what ever package u want [02:26] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [02:27] mk, do i put that in the sources.list? [02:27] or in the console? cus when i put it in the console origginaly [02:27] it was saying it wasn't found or something [02:27] daletron: np= no problem [02:27] daletron: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [02:27] so i was thinking it had to do with the "ensure the partner repositories are enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list, or sun-java6-jdk won't be found" [02:27] hey DasEi, ya i got it to open the sources.list.. and that's wher ei'm at right now [02:28] duno what to do with the text file that opened though [02:28] daletron: scrool down to the two lines dealing with partner repo's [02:28] daletron: remove the '#' in front of that lines, save the file, close gedit [02:29] daletron: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [02:30] sun-java6 what repo is this coming from? [02:30] the only # i see is in "# /etc/apt/sources.list" IN the sources.list.. u want me to remove that #? [02:30] sorry.. i'm extremely extremely new to all this [02:30] it's coming from this: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android [02:30] crap Das i didn't even see taht link 2 lines below.. i guess i should read that first lol [02:32] daletron: not sure about (your) situation but i think to remember you'd have to config java, icedtea is preinstalled afaik [02:32] daletron: want me to take a look at your sources ? sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list , copy resulting url from terminal here [02:32] ahh tenX sounds so complicated lol [02:32] yes DasEi, i'll copy and paste, sec [02:33] :) [02:33] DasEi: sun-java isn't in partner anymore. [02:33] !info sun-java6-jdk [02:33] Package sun-java6-jdk does not exist in oneiric [02:34] :) [02:34] well its not sun anymore [02:34] dont remember the package name [02:34] paste.ubuntu.com/912400 [02:34] !java [02:34] should be easy to google [02:34] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [02:34] so is the wiki i'm looking at outdated or something? [02:35] dunno what you're looking at ;) [02:35] daletron: if you're seeing anything about a sun-java package in ubuntu then yes [02:35] https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android [02:35] trying to follow those instructions [02:35] oh no zyko....lol [02:35] daletron: that is.. android?? [02:36] ya [02:36] trying to make a build environment for bug fixing.. [02:36] daletron: okay no idea about that [02:36] =[ thx though [02:36] daletron: missed that part, sry [02:36] np [02:36] daletron: isnt there a better channel for your questions? [02:37] ah no idea... i literally just installed ubuntu an hour ago specifically to make this build environment [02:37] try #android daletron [02:37] ya i guess i should try somewhere else -.-;;; [02:37] daletron: okay the installation you're trying to configure java on is ubuntu? [02:38] I've been using 12.04 for a few weeks, did an update today and now many applications don't have any styling on the menus and buttons, like they are all square and ugly ( look like GTK1 or something ). any ideas? [02:38] ya ubuntu [02:38] eadz, #ubuntu+1 for that [02:38] eadz: reask in #ubuntu+1 [02:38] thanks [02:39] daletron: well if the os is ubuntu you should stick to some ubuntu doc?? [02:39] the wiki im following is specific for Ubuntu [02:39] it's okay gonna do some more reading see if i can get somewhere [02:39] thx though for all the help === anonymous is now known as Guest41055 [02:42] wher i get yahoo messanger [02:42] plz help me [02:43] I have run into an odd problem. Originally thought my monitor config was screwed up, but it may be something else. Using 10.0.4, with grub2, I can not boot to Linux 2.6.32-40-generic or recovery mode. However, I can boot to Linux 2.6.32-39-generic, no problem... How can I fix this/troubleshoot this? [02:44] toc_tom: did you turn on text mode in grub2 to see at what point it fails? [02:44] jpsullia: can use pidging an others [02:44] !messengers [02:45] !im [02:45] The Empathy Instant Messenger is installed by default and supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete and !pidgin [02:45] sacarlson: Yea, it was tricky to do. It was having a problem mounting the boot partition. Even enabling text mode was not obvious, had to remove vga=732 from the grub script.. [02:45] sacarlson: was getting Kernel panic [02:46] zykotick9: thank you, was offline for a while [02:46] sacarlson: something hosed in the mount/boot process. that whole process is still black magic to me.. [02:47] If I set up an ssh tunnel, does it actually route the traffic from over port 22 and then forward to ? Or does it just encrypt the traffic from to ? [02:47] toc_tom: so what kind of hard disk and interface is it then? [02:47] sacarlson: not sure how to anwer.. It was using the UUIDs ... [02:47] sacarlson: what do you mean by type of hard disk / interface? [02:48] toc_tom: I guess you might want to pastebin us the sudo lshw | pastebinit ; so we can have an idea what we are working with === th1s3gacyy is now known as muthaguck [02:49] NIGAAAAa [02:49] sacarlson: is that going to work with the sudo and the | pipe? [02:49] toc_tom: I'm thinking maybe you have a scsi or some other uncommon disk that might require some extra drivers in initrd but the lshw might show that [02:51] zykotick9: I think it should but toc_tom will have to install pastebinit as it's not installed as default [02:51] I'll give it a try.. [02:51] sacarlson: I'll give it a try.. (IRC chatting from a different system..) [02:51] sacarlson: it was a question, i'm not sure. but sudo has issues with | and/or > i'm just not 100% which one and when ;) [02:52] sacarlson: I think its a standard disk, Dell laptop.. but I'll get the info. [02:53] zykotick9: to verify I just ran sudo ls | pastebinit ; with no problem [02:54] i just updated my flash and every flash video is blue.. how can i revert back to old flash i had installed before the update? [02:56] toc_tom: the fact that it already works with Linux 2.6.32-39-generic seems you already found a solution so why do you need a newer kernel if that works already? [02:58] Hello all, my theme keeps randomly changing. Any ideas as to figure out why? Thanks [02:59] sacarlson: The more recent kernel was working fine, until something got corrupted, trying to figure out what was corrupted. [02:59] sacarlson: and keep my box up to date.. I was working on this for quite a while before discovering that falling back to previous kernel fixed the issue. [03:00] toc_tom: oh ok that makes sense if the kernel or initd file got corrupted, so I wonder if you can reinstall the kernel that went bad then [03:01] toc_tom: and posibly do some chkdsk on the disk partition that has the problem [03:02] sacarlson: yes, that's what I think. How do I reinstall the kernel that went bad? [03:02] sacarlson: I'll google chkdsk now to figure that out. [03:03] id install synaptic and look up the linux packages, and install a few kernels [03:03] toc_tom: from synaptic find the linux you want to replace do a reinstall [03:03] sacarlson: that's simple, thanks.. I'll try that. [03:04] sacarlson: looks like the ubuntu equivalent of chkdsk is fdisk.. [03:04] toc_tom: I guess to do a disk test you will have to boot from another partition or from a live cd === kruckss is now known as kaibilhack [03:05] toc_tom: nope, fsck and e2fsck is [03:05] toc_tom: DasEi is correct fsck or other [03:05] sacarlson: I can boot from liveCD. thanks for the tips. I have some homework to do now. Appreciate it folks!! :-) [03:06] toc_tom: apart from that there are more forensic tools for unixe, as for recovering whole lost partitions === nebulior is now known as plentygg [03:06] just tried foremost [03:06] DasEi: cool.. fortunately I"m not in that world of joy just yet :-) But today was a good reminder to get my backup strategy cleaned up.. [03:08] hello guys [03:08] how can i use upnp with ufw? === kaibilhack is now known as kruckss [03:15] hi i'm using a live cd and i want to fix grub after a windows setup [03:16] yeah just partition whats left over [03:16] crunchbang: live cd [03:16] id setup a separate boot home and root partition [03:17] crunchbang: google for knoppix grub install f. e. [03:17] how to do that [03:17] do I care about having a separate boot partition if I only use ubuntu? [03:18] just install ubuntu as regular, and do advanced partition setup, instead of use whole disk [03:18] mkultra_: it seems to be already installed [03:18] I'm running Ubuntu 11.04. Is there a way to access or mount my windows partition from within my linux box to retrieve files? [03:18] i make a 300 meg boot partition for kernels, 20 gig for os on / and rest on $HOME [03:19] tallboy_2: yeah you've got to mount it [03:19] yes once its setup [03:19] babble: not necessarily, no. It will work while having /boot right along with / on your default root (/) [03:19] it should auto build the links for all that [03:19] !datarecovery | tallboy_2 [03:19] hmmm [03:19] h00k: yeah, I thought so - I just wondered if there was a practical case for it if I'm not dual booting. [03:19] yeah boot to linux, and have grub load the windows loader [03:20] !undelete | tallboy_2 this should work [03:20] tallboy_2 this should work: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [03:25] what kind of process is >>> [kworker/1:0] [03:28] cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda2.

[03:29] what should i do [03:31] crunchbang that looks like it's searching /boot/grub/devices.map and not seeing /dev/sda2 you might change an /dev/hda2 to /dev/sda2 not real sure though. [03:31] er um in the /boot/grub/devices.map file of course === eon is now known as Guest24951 [03:33] this channel died a horrible death sense i was last here three years ago [03:34] hook: ubottu: Thanks, I have some reading to do. [03:34] hey what the command to remove a non empty dir [03:34] KingKatari: rm -rf [03:35] but be careful [03:35] kingkarari rm -r but use with care [03:36] thnks got it [03:37] so what kind of process is >>> [kworker/1:0] ? i would have expected something like >>> kworker blah blah but the [] has me wondering. [03:38] is there a way to have the file manager use the SUDO command so that i can copy files that are root owned? [03:40] kingkatari you should be able to copy to any place you own. but you need root permission to write to places that root owns. [03:40] right [03:41] is there a way to get root in ubuntu desktop 11.10 Xwindows [03:41] kingkatari in short kdesu konqueror 'for kde' gksudo nautilus 'for gnome' [03:42] last i heard they had both of those working correctly [03:44] kingkatari if you copy anything that way. root will own it. so you really shouldn't do what you are not sure about. avoid superuser privledges as much as possable [03:45] i [03:46] for running apache2 web-server what is the package called that adds php support? [03:47] I need to add a printer to an old Ubuntu... would installing the the .deb from http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Epson/Epson-Stylus_C110 here work? [03:47] KingKatari, why do you need to boot into root on your ubuntu OS? [03:48] I dont [03:48] for running apache2 web-server what is the package called that adds php support? [03:48] You just want to? I was wondering too, though there really is no need, it just asks you for a password when you need to do chances [03:48] and i doubt you want to run something like that in root, far as i know. [03:49] changes** [03:49] i am done with all the root stuff [03:49] oh okay... [03:49] i have a new question now [03:49] well i dont think this is a place to ask questions about apache.

[04:16] KingKatari: I wouldn't use that webmin [04:16] !webmin | KingKatari [04:16] KingKatari: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[05:48] ohh and they are owned by root [05:49] astropirate no. you should own them and they should not be readable by anyone else. [05:49] astropirate also the dir itself [05:50] Agent_bob, I am root. (i'm still setting it up) [05:50] but is this really what's causing me to not be able to log in? [05:50] *ssh in [05:50] astropirate: very likely [05:51] astropirate not sure... but ssh will not read config files that are toooooo permisc. [05:51] and for good reason. [05:51] what should I chmod them to? [05:51] the dir to 700 the files to 600 [05:52] actually as root 000 will work. root needs no permission at all.

Is there anyway to get them to be there even when the window is not maximized? === Staffgiraffe is now known as tdubellz [07:32] Laiam try Ubuntu tweak [07:33] sorry i actually think its called gnome tweak now [07:33] i've been trying to get away with installing as little as possible XD [07:34] lol. u can set it up and then remove it it just changes the settings in gconf [07:34] uninstall will keep the settings [07:35] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-tweak-testing/ppa && sudo aptitude update [07:36] and of you want to make it global copy /home/user/.gconf to /etc/skel/.gconf [07:36] its not in there... sadface [07:36] you need to add the rep [07:36] i know its redundant since the buttons are on the window title bar when not maximized but [07:36] there is no need to use "ubuntu-tweak" [07:37] no the tool was in my source list just fine [07:37] just the option i wanted isn't there [07:37] ahh [07:37] ikonia yeah you could use the gconf conduct manner to [07:37] *config [07:37] hi guys. I have my /home partition encrypted, and I've recently started having problems with logon. It doesnt mount the home partition automatically, and I have to mount it manually from the tty. Any suggestions, please? [07:39] Laiam oh u mean like put them at the top AND on the title bar? === Urist_McTiktalik is now known as Urist_McLicktali === Urist_McLicktali is now known as Urist_McTiktalik [07:40] yeah [07:41] I use gnome-tweaks for that .. [07:43] Laiam i could see that being difficult. while i can see that being implementable via an applet, it would run into problems, like which application should that control. easy the focused app, but what about when multiple child windows are controlled underthe same program, and what happens during the blur event when a dialog opens? [07:44] hi all, i need to access my windows partition from the linux cmd line. how do i 'cd' to that partition? [07:44] well since its hidden and shows up with the menu hoverover action um whatever window currently has menu controls at the top gets the button controls aswell [07:44] cd /mount/; ls [07:44] then cd directory that is the name of your windows partition [07:44] if its not mounted then um... [07:45] Laiam: hey thanks, i don't have a /mount only a /mnt which my external hd shows up under [07:45] Laiam. not sure then i dont use unity *unity = ick* [07:45] figure out what drive it is and use /usr/bin/udisks --mount /dev/sdx# [07:45] lol unity isn't to bad... its better than windows [07:46] Laiam: ty, i'll give it a go [07:46] verything ids better than windoez. lol [07:46] * webnet_m hatez unity [07:46] x and # is the drive letter and partition number [07:46] lol [07:46] gnome3 webnet? [07:47] to be completely and terribly honest enough to make everyone hate me gnome2 is the reason why i didn't start using linux sooner [07:47] dont care for that either. their new concept of putting menu items in the top bar looks osx like to me. ill pass on that [07:47] yucky osx [07:47] Laiam D: [07:48] !ot [07:48] #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! [07:48] Laiam: what config file is all my partition info in again? [07:50] ubuntu 10.04 only supports gnome2 I believe [07:50] floodplain: permanent partition config I guess would be at /etc/fstab ; [07:50] fstab? [07:50] yeah [07:50] urbancommando yep same as 10.10 im stuck at 10.10 [07:50] lol [07:51] waiting for 12 to be stable.. === zay is now known as Vladislas [07:51] webnet_m: 12.04 doesnt change that concept ;) [07:51] And you can use another desktop environment e.g. [07:52] i'll update -d into 12.04 here soon... [07:52] urbancommando i would switch and set gnome2 but i literally can't use anything past 10.10 === Spyro is now known as Guest75288 [07:52] * bekks uses kde on 12.04 ;) [07:52] Laiam: hmm, it's already mounted i think (i can see/access it in the gui file system browser) [07:52] due to the kernel [07:52] webnet_m: Why cant you use another kernel then? === Guest75288 is now known as Kotus [07:53] then no need the command is there for if your stuck in commandline and need to mount it that way === Kotus is now known as Gyes [07:53] since its mounted go ahead and just cd /mnt/folderfordrive [07:53] Or whats the exact problem with kernels used above 10.10 then? [07:53] because i can't see to install it [07:53] hi [07:53] webnet_m same here I like the 10 version better but opensuse is pretty nice and stable. [07:54] i've noticed power consumption issues in anything more recent than 6 / fedora 7 [07:54] webnet_m: Thats not a valid reason ;) [07:54] anything past 2.6.35 my graphics system doesn't work [07:54] Laiam: ah it was in /media/BOOT [07:54] webnet_m: Which graphics driver do you use then on which graphics hardware exactly? [07:54] Laiam: thanks for the help! [07:54] webnet_m they've basically went and said unity is like IE [07:54] useful only for downloading a new UI [07:55] flood, /media is going to go away in the future, it will be /run/SOMETHINGORANOTHER/media [07:55] literally. LCD works but three backing wont come on [07:55] floodplain, just keep that in mind [07:55] *bavklight [07:55] *backlight [07:56] scientes: i will, though i'm not exactly sure what the implications are! :) [07:56] anyone here uses elinks? [07:56] urbancommando: Why? [07:56] shifting of ways of doing things... why is /media so bad? [07:57] bekks acer aspire 5734z. [07:57] floodplain, not much :) [07:57] bekks just wondering. It's pretty annoying in the beginning when I just used it. [07:57] webnet_m: Thats a notebook - whats your exact graphics adapter? [07:57] when I first used it.. [07:57] webnet_m a friend of mine has issues using the live cd on a brand new HP laptop blankscreen after boot so ... [07:58] floodplain, its basically that unprivlidged/privlidged users can mount a usb stick, and other unprivlidged users wont even know they did that/wont be impacted [07:58] bekks. not sure. I'm on mobile. my browser takes forever. [07:58] gimme a sec [07:59] scientes: ah that makes perfect sense [07:59] ah ok i see since /mount is off the root tree its visible to all logged in users [07:59] scientes: thanks for hitting me up with some street knowledge! [07:59] Laiam: That applies to /media too [07:59] webnet_m what kinda phone are you using? [08:01] I would ask isn't there a way to just make the permissions setup so that directories that aren't accessible to unprivileged users are automatically hidden to them? [08:01] CASIO commando [08:01] I need to find a good android phone. Any recommendations that would allow me to install linux os? [08:02] i life my commando. its a seriously rugged phone [08:02] Laiam: Inaccessible means hidden to the user. This does not apply to almost 100% of directories where the user does not have more than read permissions. [08:02] webnet_m: Which graphics adapter do you use finally? [08:03] I want a nokia brand android if nokia where to make them like their old ones [08:04] bekjs cant find any info on it. all the sources from Acer and the review sites newegg all say generic 10/100 === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:04] *bekks [08:04] webnet_m: lspci tells you. [08:04] ahah well I should correct myself, cause android does use linux lol.. that would allow me to install ubuntu lol [08:05] urbancommando: No. [08:05] bekks. not on it now. lol. ill get on it tho. [08:05] webnet_m: If you dont have "lspci", you arent running ubuntu. [08:06] ok bekks lspci output: [08:07] webnet_m: NOT in this channel. [08:07] webnet_m: Use a pastebin. [08:07] i know bekks [08:08] bekks, http://pastebin.com/RG3V0Gjy [08:08] so anyone know why the installer seams to want to install all the language packs then remove all the ones except the one chosen instead of just skipping the ones not required? [08:08] webnet: Could you nopaste the complete output of lspci please? [08:09] pastebin is to prevent hackers? [08:09] bekks, http://pastebin.com/y4wBHJdh [08:09] urbancommando, its to prevent flooding [08:09] ahh [08:11] webnet: Whats the output of lspci -k then? [08:11] lol. im an idiot btw. i just realized i was googling for the network carn not the graphics card. apparently im a bit tired. haha [08:12] bekks, http://pastebin.com/GSPEv3Sa [08:12] webnet: The i915 is know to be working above 10.10 too - are you sure you have been using it when testing > 10.10? [08:13] bekks, what do you mean? [08:14] yes see the lcd works. if i hold a light to it it displays properly, but the backlight doesnt turn on [08:14] webnet: Your graphics adapter is using the i915 module which is known to be working above 10.10 - are you sure you have been using it when testing > 10.10 [08:14] "I see it works" does not say a word about the used driver. [08:14] how would i not be using it? [08:14] do you have to install that driver manually? [08:14] Because you could have been using vga or vesa too, e.g. [08:15] Laiam: At least you have to check which driver you are using. :) [08:15] i dont know what i have tried, i went rounds on here for weeks when 11.04 came out tried to upgrade and boom no cigar. [08:16] i've been fortunate enough to have my stuff mostly work with default drivers... [08:16] webnet: Then it is pretty impossible to solve that problem without knowing that ;) [08:16] i know its a kernel issue though not a ubuntu issue [08:17] webnet: It doesnt look like a kernel issue so far. [08:17] i tried fedora and suse and eveything under the sun that uses linux kerner higher that 2.6.35 and none worked [08:17] webnet: You know it because of what? [08:17] That doesnt prove it. [08:17] but anything that used 2.6.35 or less worked [08:17] That only proves that you dont know why something above 2.6.35 does not work because you cant even tell which graphics driver you have been using. [08:17] maybe they just stopped including the right driver in that pack [08:18] but the monitor displays a picture and everything, but the backlight doesnt engage [08:18] even in cli [08:18] webnet: Tats not a prove of using the correct driver. [08:18] webnet: Thats only a prove using _a_ driver that displays something. [08:18] tried booting the server edition and coulsnt see anything past the bois. even grub doesnt display [08:19] on live or installed. managed to install with a flashlight against the screen to barely see the buttons [08:19] but no luck after the reboot [08:19] on any distro [08:20] ciao [08:20] Hallo all :), anybody know how to fix "signal out of range/no picture on my screens" when i use my laptop and my dock, issue wasent there in 10.04. After I Login the picture comes on the screens, but I am pretty tired of having to do login in blind :) [08:20] * mint_ d [08:21] bekks and even if its a driver issue how can i install when i can see it? [08:21] *cant [08:21] even using an external monitor out the vga port doesnt work [08:21] would anyone care to help me with a sound problem in the ubuntu 12.04 beta? [08:21] !list [08:21] tom73: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [08:21] webnet: Because there can be several drivers giving you a picture to see something... [08:22] bekks, but how do i use a different driver when i cant see anything on the screen? [08:22] to get to a cli or anything? [08:22] webnet: First, you have to know which driver you are using. [08:23] which i dont know because i cant see anything [08:23] how can i determine that without being able to see anything? [08:23] Did you try using the server cd for installing? [08:24] yes i did, still cant see anything [08:24] webnet: you could ssh in [08:24] in case that is configured [08:24] fidel, cant see to install ssh-server package [08:24] that would solve things alot :D [08:25] and even if i got it installed using the server edition, i cant see to set upa user [08:25] webnet: lesson1: always configure ssh if you setup a linux box (the next time) ;) [08:25] fidel, but i still cant see anything to set it up? [08:25] or configure. [08:25] i had sound on my laptop for about five seconds yesterday, i updated using sudo apt-get update, and upgrade, and today it does not show anything in the sound settings. [08:26] there are a million ways i could figure out my problem if i could only see... === companion_ is now known as companion [08:26] hello [08:26] webnet: i didnt follow your entire problem-description - "joined" later [08:26] but the problem i had with those who tried to help before is i couldnt tell them the output of commands because i couldnt see the output! [08:27] come on webnet, Helen Keller it and fix it lol. [08:27] :P [08:27] is that a problem which occurs wile setting up the box already - or did the problem occured afterwards? [08:27] ctrl + alt + 1 doesn't show anything? [08:27] ctrl + alt + f1 doesn't show anything? [08:27] fidel, oh basically if i try to install ubuntu or any other distro that uses kernel after 2.6.35 my monitor doesnt work, built in monitor or external via vga [08:27] Laiam, was that for me? [08:27] yeahish [08:28] considered testingother booting paramters? [08:28] fidel like? [08:28] Laiam, i cant see anything to know. i ggave up and reinstalled 10.10 [08:28] noacpi etc [08:28] nomodeset comes to mind [08:28] other thing this is a laptop right so um have you tried seeing if the bios settings will automatically send output to an external as well as the internal? [08:28] yes did try both of those [08:29] what kind of special hardware is that webnet? [08:29] did that once... then plugged in a usb keyboard and mouse pressed start button, closed lid and went on my way [08:29] Laiam yes i did that its fine. i can see the bois in either monitor, but grub and everything after that and the backlight shuts off. [08:30] fidel, http://pastebin.com/GSPEv3Sa [08:30] thatm my lspci -k output [08:30] have you tried updated from within the distro itself instead of trying to do it from a live cd? [08:30] webnet: and how did you get this lscpi output if you cant login via ssh & dont see anything? [08:31] Laiam thats where i hit the problem upgraded to 11.04 from inside 10.10 [08:31] fidel, that is the output of 10.10 so you can see the hardware [08:31] i reinstalled 10.10 so i could at least use the damn thing [08:32] This is my gcard and I believe is 1 grade lower then yours and its working for me http://pastebin.com/anzajW1C [08:32] it might make sense to write a small summary of the entire problem with all details - so that users joined later one have a chance to follow the problem. just a random idea [08:33] but upgraded to 11.04 from inside 10.10 and got screwed on restart. couldnt fix after weeks so i loaded the live version of 10.10 and backed up my files to an external and reinstalled 10.10 [08:33] fidel. ok ill make a paste bin for easy access :) [08:33] oh I never installed 11.04 I only tested 12.4 [08:34] tried to boot live 11.04 11.10, 12.04 no luck [08:34] anybody know how to fix "signal out of range/no picture on my screens" when i use my laptop and my dock, issue wasent there in 10.04. After I Login the picture comes on the screens, but I am pretty tired of having to do login in blind [08:34] even in live mode? [08:34] live cd [08:35] Kainz: does that happens just while booting - and works afterwards? [08:35] yeah 11.10 has live boot issues on some computers... but i've used it before by just swapping hard drives around [08:35] fidel: yeah works after I enter my login info [08:36] Kainz: i had that several days ago - but i screen worked again while displaying thel ogin manager [08:36] but it showed the same error while booting - which was related with an outcommented line GFXMODE in the grub conf [08:36] but as mentioned above - for me the display worked again while displaying lightdm [08:37] Hello. I am trying to use kile with an own tex-environment. On commandline everything works fine, with PATH set to the special environment (non ubuntu). But Kile, even system checks uses the binaries from own tex-environment, uses the ubuntu pdf-latex version. I already set (like mentioned in some howtos) the manpath, infopath. Any ideas? [08:37] its something to do with the resolution or the refresh rate kainz is this a fresh install? or have you added packages and it started doing it after adding? [08:37] fidel: hmmm i have tried everything hothing works here .....downgrade to 10.04 [08:38] Laiam: Fresh install and its only with 11'ish release [08:38] http://pastebin.com/7irTwc66 <- there is a breif summary of the issue fidel [08:39] ah ok [08:39] Laiam: Works fine on 10-01 [08:39] Laiam: Works fine on 10.04* [08:40] how big is your screen?

I am trying to use kile with an own tex-environment. On commandline everything works fine, with PATH set to the special environment (non ubuntu). But Kile, even system checks uses the binaries from own tex-environment, uses the ubuntu pdf-latex version. I already set (like mentioned in some howtos) the manpath, infopath. Any ideas? [09:30] available in the repos? joachim: do as Laiam says ^^ [09:30] http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/transgui [09:30] Laiam, haha, nice.

[09:55] so foo357 what are you trying to do that would cause you to want the added redunancy of an additional 32bit jre/jdk package [09:55] Laiam, bekks ok thanks for your ideas on the matter. I will simply test and see what happens === gallo is now known as gallo_ [10:00] well what i said isn't quite precise see when you compile java byte code its architecture independant both a 32 bit and a 64 bit jvm can run the same byte code unless the code author has specifically made checks to prevent it from running on a 32 bit jvm [10:01] die [10:01] sorry...

[10:06] aatish: use recover/rescue mode. set new password [10:07] dr_willis: plz tell me more i have not too much idea [10:08] aatish: the grub menu should have some sort of rescue/recover menu entry to get to a root console [10:09] use passwd command to set a passwd for the user [10:09] dr_willis, how i enter rescue mode ??? [10:09] aatish: the grub menu should have some sort of rescue/recover menu entry to get to a root console [10:10] dr_willis, there is no grub directly start ubuntu [10:10] !grub [10:10] why is trash called Rubbish bin, Trash is fine :) or they different? [10:10] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[10:15] aatish: dr_willis sacarlson: Hold shift during boot to access the grub menu. [10:16] hold, or tap.. [10:16] i find the whold hidden grub a silly idea [10:16] they should at least show a message.. 'hit some key for grub menu....' [10:17] Enable it in the config. [10:17] dr_willis: Tapping allows for the possibility of the key not being depressed when it's checked. Holding doesn't.

[10:49] Tradie96: that shouldn't stop it from being seen [10:50] jpds: is this somehow possible from the terminal? [10:50] could it be to do with raid? [10:50] maximili1n: Don't think so, but Network Manager is the supported way of doing things. [10:50] Tradie96: yes a software raid could cause a problem [10:50] ok, thank you [10:51] but you should still be able to find the drives in fdisk though? [10:51] Tradie96: but most of those are also supported as they run in bios I think [10:51] Tradie96: yes I would think they should still see something [10:52] because i read a forum today that siad it should. i really want ubuntu installed, as its better than windows [10:52] Tradie96: try a new install [10:53] ill come back on the irc after ive had a fiddle with the ports and such, and tel you know whats happened [10:53] Koheleth: he's running a live cd [10:53] how to rename all .txt files into .dat files all at once?

[11:22] Koheleth: do the harddrives need to be in ahci [11:22] I am putting them into /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuild initrd, still grub fires up, initrd gets loaded, but can't find the usb storage (just some random "unable to enumerate USB device on port 2") [11:23] does ubuntu need drives to be in ahci????

[11:30] is there anything faster than it? [11:30] bekks: seems ubuntu wants sata in ahci mode not ide mode so I guess the answer to tradie96 might have been yes, I think that might be his problem [11:30] slowpoke: ntfs-3g is slow, use Windows if you want fast ntfs-access :( [11:31] anyone? [11:31] llutz: thats a crappy answer. [11:31] is it possible to get an lpd server to list the available queues? [11:31] slowpoke: well, then just "no" [11:31] i cant imagine that i'm the only one with large disks in NTFS format lying around [11:32] there has to be something better than "fsck you, its your own fault for using such a pansy filesystem" [11:32] slowpoke: ntfs is a proprietary filesystem with just bit more than basic support in linux. what do you expect?

When pingin A from C, I see the ICMP requests arriving but no responses leaving while when B pings A, I see the requests and responses. When sendign pings to C from A, nothing arrives on C. It is no firewall issue and C is the only server affected... [11:58] anyone an idea? [11:58] thanks sacarlson [11:59] I hope this isnt to offtopic, but when you write a class diagram(UML), is "1..n" similar to "1..*" ? Ergo, does both * and n mean indefinate? [11:59] is it possible to run google chrome and chromium at the same time? o.O [12:00] hi all. how is that possible: I found ufw disabled upon a fresh boot, after every single boot I have to turn it on again...11.10 kubuntu, 4.8.1 kde, fully updated [12:00] sacarlson: it was /var/www/ [12:00] JermBob: yes that's the default [12:00] is that pointing to the /sites-avaliable ? [12:01] JermBob: yes the default config in ubuntu point to that dir [12:01] sacarlson: why do i need to know about the vhost stuff then ? [12:02] JermBob: because I already gave you the default and thought you didn't like it, it can be changed to anywhere you want or add many others [12:03] sacarlson: thanks sorry i am a little slow [12:04] sacarlson: what config file points to /var/www/ then ? [12:04] the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [12:04] doesnt [12:05] JermBob: no I gave you /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [12:05] JermBob: it's /etc/apache2/sites-available/default [12:06] thanks guys [12:06] now i get you [12:06] whats the best site to get some themes for ubuntu 11.10 [12:07] !themes [12:07] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [12:08] awesome, thanks.

[12:12] bencc2: I don't know === yashshah_ is now known as yashshah [12:13] im trying to add a ppa via the terminal but im getting some sort of error, its for a theme repository. Its a pycurl error stating gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received [12:13] foobArrr: thanks [12:13] Can anyone else try to add this repo and see if it spits the same error for them? [12:13] How do I set an explicit block on a package so that, if anything requires PulseAudio it'll just fail the install/upgrade rather than pulling it back in? [12:13] ppa:bisigi/ppa is the repo [12:15] Hi, can someone help me with winff video converter? [12:15] mackey: We dont know wether we can help or not. [12:15] Please just ask. [12:16] I wonder if it is possible with winff to convert a video file into a MPEG4 AVC/H.264 file? [12:17] mackey: Is winff a windows tool? [12:17] dunno found it in synaptic [12:18] bekks: Its a crossplatform GUI for ffmpeg. (Also for ubuntu, aswell as win) [12:18] mackey: not if you are using winff/ffmpeg from the ubuntu repo [12:18] Promille: Ah ok. [12:19] mackey: ffmpeg in ubuntu repo has AAC (requirement of mp4) disabled [12:19] mackey: What is the input file. You can't upscale it, if that is what you ask for. [12:20] Managed to find my answer. --> http://askubuntu.com/questions/24871/disabling-packages-from-the-update-manager [12:20] input file is AVI [12:20] or wmv [12:20] mackey: soundconverter can take video as input and output as audio. [12:21] Ok. I'm pretty sure ffmpeg(winff) has compability for aac. I'm not on a ubuntu-pc right now, so I cant check. Try to do sudo "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" and see if you can find it afterwards in winff [12:21] mackey: [12:22] I just purchased the TV tuner WinTV-HVR-950Q. Has anyone gotten it to work on their system? [12:22] Sorry i misread your question mackey . But try to install the restricted pack anyways. [12:24] Promille: ffmpeg in the repo has restrictions which can be enabled by using the 'extra' versions from multiverse or medibuntu [12:24] mongy: i think you need medibuntu for AAC [12:24] promille: you mean install ffmeg? [12:25] mackey: packages like libavcodec-extra-53 etc enable ffmpeg to use more codecs [12:25] XGaryG: I have gotten a wintv PVR working but I don't know what version it was [12:26] I know it was quite easy... [12:26] a few years ago [12:26] mackey: ffmpeg is allready installed when you installed winff, but i suggested that you installed some restricted packs, but unfortunately i cannot check how to do it right now. mongy seems to know how to enable more codecs, so you should focus on his answers :) [12:26] In the US we switched to all digital. I think the ATSC signal might be a problem. [12:28] Promille: been a while since I used ffmpeg from repos, I usually compile the latest. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 very easy to follow guide if anyone is interested. [12:29] mongy: Yeah, compiling would probably be the best approach to suit it for your needs, but if i remember correctly, it was fairly easy to enable to restricted codecs within synaptic from the repos aswell :) [12:30] It seems weird to me nobody has gotten ATSC to work. I can't be the first Linux user to want to use TV in the US. [12:31] hello all, is there anyone here who knows the name of the peice of software which detects that you do not have the correct codecs when playing a media file and then attempts to install it? [12:31] does anyone know how to acticate that script? [12:32] isn't ffmpeg deprecated? "This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes)." === jelatta_away is now known as jelatta [12:33] foobArrr: source? Latest release seems to be "March, 17, 2012, FFmpeg 0.10.1" [12:34] Promille: ffmpeg says that on the command line, version from ubuntu repos. ffmpeg version 0.8.1-4:0.8.1-1really0u1 [12:34] foobArrr: Oh, ok..

[12:40] and 1.51 is development version [12:40] how do i get at least 1.4 [12:40] zap0, you also might get better answers in #wine-hq [12:41] zap0: you'll have to build it yourself, I guess [12:41] what foobArrr said [12:41] I just installed 'Me TV'. When I click the icon, nothing seems to happen. [12:42] XGaryG: What do you expect to happen? [12:43] Some sort of screen pop up? To be able to watch it? [12:43] zap0: As stated, you ahve to build it yourself. http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.4 [12:44] zap0: I think you stick to the repo's version, for a more out-of-the-box experience, and you're not comfortable with compiling programs [12:44] i feel very proud off myself i just fixed a very complex problem in my ubuntu 10.10 maverick machine, it does feel good when you wirk it out.;0) [12:45] What package would I file a bug against for USB hardware? [12:45] Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 won't keep logitech usb nano receiver attached on resume from standby [12:46] elijah: reask in #ubuntu+1 [12:46] I have always told my Wife I can do anything from Linux she can do from Windows. This does not seem to be the case with a TV tuner in the US. [12:46] zykotick9: thanks [12:48] plop [12:50] Naively hopeful question: Does there happen to be a backport of the e1000e driver to Lucid? I'm wary of doing an in-place upgrade to Precise on a dozen live machines, but I need to be able to access the 2nd NIC (stupid supermicro) to set up a subnet for internal backups. [12:58] os x has a command "open" on the command line which opens a file with the default application for the file type. is there something like that in ubuntu? /bin/open is something completly different, I guess. [12:59] Where would I open a bug report for a package in 12.04 beta2 ? Or where can I locate the package maintainer info for the package so I can report the issue to them. === newbie is now known as Guest10178 [13:00] phschwartz: "apt-cache show yourprogram" tells you [13:01] Hi there [13:01] ooiiooo: if you're using gnome, it looks like gnome-open might be what you're looking for [13:01] Do you know a way to log any file deletion/creation/update, with who done it and when ? [13:02] phschwartz: you should log a bug in launchpad. By using `ubuntu-bug packagename` on that computer, it will automatically get and upload most of the necessary debugging information. [13:02] ZarroBooks: awsome, ty [13:02] GeminiDomino: xfce. but setting the default applications I want for gnome won't kill me. thanks. [13:03] ooiiooo: exo-open, perhaps?

[13:10] abhinavmehta: you can run apache, if you want to be very basic about this, and get at files from Mobile Safari that way, but audio will need to be in formats that iOS can play (most mp3, aiff, wav and Apple Lossless) and video will need to be in specific mp4 or h264 formats [13:10] !ubuntu | pizza [13:10] pizza: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

More or less so than updating a live server from Lucid to Precise? [13:22] mo6|work: possibly with wine, but rule of thumb, use the windows os for windows applications [13:23] GeminiDomino: backported from where / [13:23] its a prorgam which overwrites your grub so failures from installing windows are solved [13:23] When I try to start Me-TV, it complains: 'Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",'.

[13:26] ikonia: I just need the updated e1000 driver, but building it manually for each box seems particularly risky to me [13:26] ikonia: So I'm trying to figure out a best course of action [13:26] Church, so what might be the estimated size required to merge the above ISO?

[13:27] fidel how can i install the mozilla ppa into the kernal? [13:27] OysterCult: i wouldn't install Thunderbird manually if i where you - no updates then. Also removal of manually installed software can get ugly. [13:28] ok [13:28] Because these stupid supermicro boards in these dozen servers have two seperate on-board NICs, one of which works with the Lucid driver, the other which doesn't. I need the second so I can set up a backplane subnet for backups [13:28] OysterCult: that has nothing to do with the kernel [13:28] i installed it using apt-get download grub [13:28] not the same?

[13:36] kinda [13:36] bencc2: yes, but building tigervnc doesn't require you to build xorg from source [13:36] dlentz: trying [13:36] ikonia: Booting off the Precise alt CD, there's only 1 e1000e module loaded but eth1 and eth2 are both detected [13:36] i do sudo vi /etc/network/internface to enter it [13:36] bencc2: why do you think tigervnc requires you to build xorg [13:36] then i press I to enter Insert mode [13:36] ratatapa: vi is just one of several cli-editors [13:36] then type text no^ [13:36] GeminiDomino: that's interesting, can I have a little prod around as I've seen this before but can't remember what we did [13:36] <_Marcus> ikonia: I don't even think programs can tell the difference if xorg was built from source or not [13:36] ratatapa, yeah, that should work [13:36] ratatapa: some others as i.e. nano might be easier to get started - in case youz dont know vi [13:36] ikonia: http://tigervnc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tigervnc/trunk/BUILDING.txt?revision=4879&view=markup [13:36] ikonia: Take your time, I ain't going anywhere. :) [13:37] GeminiDomino: I maybe wrong, but I'm sure I've fixed this before for someone else with almost identical issues === DogCatcher is now known as Matrixiumn [13:37] ratatapa: try sudo nano filename [13:37] so sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces^ [13:37] yes ratatapa [13:37] Yep it's quite an easy cl editor [13:38] ikonia: If you can help I'll owe you a round. :) [13:38] ikonia: Take your time. :) [13:38] wow nano seems to work [13:38] but why wouldn't vi work^ [13:38] bencc2: I see nothing in there about building xorg [13:38] vi works too. But has different key bindings. [13:39] ratatapa: I've never used vi so dunno. Someone esle may know [13:39] ratatapa: I is not insert mode, i is [13:39] ratatapa: oh wait, I is too... [13:39] GeminiDomino: you maybe right, I just remember doing this recently, just not the details [13:40] and how do i save with nano^ [13:40] ratatapa: the bottom has a cheat sheet (ctrl-o to write, ctrl-x to exit) [13:40] ratatapa: Look at the bottom of you screen :) [13:41] ikonia: so xserver, doesn't matter [13:41] ikonia: line 140 [13:41] bencc2: it looks to me like you need the xorg server source for the version you are running to build xnc agaist, but you don't actually build the xorg component [13:42] dlentz: still getting the same error [13:42] ikonia: ok but I just need the package that will fix the missing gl error [13:42] the help menu was disabled thx [13:43] ikonia: x11proto-gl-dev fixed the missing glporto error. now I need to fix the missing gl error [13:43] bencc2: good luck, it looks to me like you are trying to build xorg [13:43] GeminiDomino: stupid question, but is your bios up to date [13:44] I can't believe this! I have tried every TV program I can find, and nothing works. [13:44] ikonia: as I said before. you are not any help. I sent you the build instructions and you still say irrelevant stuff :) [13:44] GeminiDomino: I've found a few threads that say certain dual port cards (or onboard dual port card in your case) only shows one card if the bios is showing address space in the wrong format [13:44] ikonia: Not so stupid. I believe so. LEmme reboot and find out [13:44] ikonia: it's easy to answer a question with: why? you don't need that [13:44] Can you connect a SATA-300 harddrive to SATA-150 sata card? [13:44] bencc2: nope, I'll leave you to get on, I don't believe you've understood the build instructions, but I could be wrong [13:44] bencc2, you probably need x11proto-gl-dev (and other x11proto-dev packages) [13:44] i.e. will the disk and the controller handshake the lowest common denominator, or does that just not work? [13:45] GeminiDomino: there was one specific thread which referenced super micro servers also [13:45] Hi all, some previous experience with linux but not much. I'm running lubuntu 11.10 install and trying to use the freenect libraries with my code. The code is good (works on windows in anycase) but I just can't get it to compile. I keep getting "undefined reference" errors (using g++ btw). I am 90% sure i am using the correct -l flags (also tried pkg-config) but it just doesnt seem to want to find the damn .so files. if anyone is any good with g++ [13:45] Also, if there's a more appropriate channel for that, by all means :) [13:45] surial, theoretically, it should, but some older SATA controllers need to have the drive jumpered to SATA150 mode [13:45] I thought it would be easy once I got w-scan to actually scan ATSC channels, but not one player will work. [13:45] Oh, drives can jumper into it? That's fine too. Thanks! [13:45] GeminiDomino: it looks like later e1000 modules (as you've shown) have a work around to deal with this, but it also looks like some vendors fixed it in their bios [13:46] Hello, I am having a problem accessing a wireless network on channel 12 in the UK. I'm using a Macbook Pro with Ubuntu 11, brcmsmac driver with Channels 1-14 listed by "iwlist chan". Where can I get debug info from (which log file..)? [13:46] ikonia: again. very helpful [13:46] dlentz: I installed x11proto-gl-dev and it fixed the protogl error. now I need to fix the gl error [13:46] ikonia: Not them, apparnetly. 1.1a is the latest on the supermicro bios list and that's what I'm packin [13:47] :P === q-rban is now known as q0rban [13:47] GeminiDomino: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.drivers.e1000.devel/2007-03/msg00047.html [13:47] Does anyone know where I would start because me-tv can not locate theme engine in module path pixmap? [13:47] GeminiDomino: just for reference, this explains it resonably clear, but there are better threads with more detail [13:47] bencc2, libgl1-mesa-dev ? [13:47] surial: ##hardware perhaps? (i believe SATA is all backwards compatable, but will operate at the reduced speeds) [13:48] GeminiDomino: looks like you could be onto a winner with updating to the 12.04 build [13:48] zykotick9: Thanks! [13:49] dlentz: installed, still same error [13:49] what is the name of package to install apache http server? [13:49] !lamp | angs [13:49] angs, httpd? [13:49] angs: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [13:50] ikonia: I thought so. :) So you think that's a better idea than using the oneric backport (seems to exist: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/lucid/main/base/linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric). Is it still taking my life in my hands to do an LTS->LTS upgrade? I'd like to avoid a 14 hour trip to Tampa to the DC. :P [13:50] ^ trace for network problem is at http://paste.debian.net/161891/ - as you can see it times out [13:50] (3 hour drive, but being there for 14 hours, that is) [13:50] GeminiDomino: well, I'm surprised that the backport exists at this time to be honest [13:50] GeminiDomino: for me - I'd update the whole distro (but I don't know details of what you are doing/stability issues/application lock in/etc) [13:51] GeminiDomino: keeping everything uniform on a stable server always seems better to me unless an external component (in this case the back port) is the only option [13:51] dlentz: thanks. libgl1-mesa-dev fixed it :) [13:51] GeminiDomino: just a personal opinion [13:52] ikonia: I'm inclined to agree. Just a LAMP stack, really. No application lock-in. I'm just always afraid of full upgrades hosing the whole caboodle. [13:53] GeminiDomino: you're right to be afraid... [13:53] ikonia: And last time I checked, there were admonitions against doing CLI upgrades between versions, but that was, admittedly, some time ago. [13:53] zykotick9: I know. :) I was a sysadmin before I moved back into development (with a semi-sysadmin hat, thus my presence here). I've walked that road too many times. [13:54] GeminiDomino: worth a drive and some backups [13:56] ikonia: oh, the backups are done nightly. [13:56] !list [13:56] fefderico: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [13:56] !it | fefderico [13:56] fefderico: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [13:56] Installing ubuntu 12.04 beta 2 now, or wait for final release? [13:56] ikonia: And between you, me, and the SSL server, it's not the drive I'm worried about. It's the fact that the boss will insist on a hands-on role in the process. <_< The big disadvantage of working for a small company. :) [13:57] shazzr: 12.04 discussion/support is in #ubuntu+1 at this time. [13:57] shazzr: do you want to be a bug reporter? beta's are known to have issues. [13:57] shazzr, wait. further discussion in #ubuntu+1 === gallo is now known as gallo_ [14:04] okay then, that's settled. I'll provision the new servers with the beta, and then once they get the kinks ironed out of the LTS->LTS upgrade process, I'll work on migraiting the existing ones. [14:04] [14:04] Thanks, ikonia. I appreciate it [14:05] does anybody know how to use channels 12 and 13 with the brcmsmac module in ubuntu 11? [14:06] any tech-community on?? [14:07] user-X: how do you mean? [14:08] I mean a channel with tenchonolgy news or smithing like that [14:08] or a programming channel [14:08] <_Marcus> Try ##programming [14:08] user-X: try #c #java etc [14:08] thank u guys!! :) :) [14:09] np :D [14:10] jesus, how long can e2fsck take… almost 1 hour already for 5tb [14:10] hey everybody, just wondering is a Samsung nc20 compatible with the latest ubuntu? [14:10] tekk: depends on drive speed [14:11] hank__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC20 [14:11] tekk: Having 5 TB, it will take several hours. [14:11] hank__: seems to be an openchrome GPU, not that great [14:12] daaamn [14:12] wish i'd ran it in a screen === Taftse2 is now known as Taftse === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [14:15] I have a desktop that has a XP on it, and it doesnt have a monitor. I wonder if it is possible to load ubuntu to the desktop from my laptop. both desktop and laptop has an internet connection. [14:16] ill try it [14:16] angs: you can install via ssh, you may need to remaster the ISO so that openssh-server is installed [14:17] Hello, can someone help me to install Oneiric on an system with EFI ? [14:17] AnAnt: Whats the exact problem so far? [14:17] after I installed, when I reboot the system, I don't get the grub [14:17] I only get into DOS [14:17] DOS? [14:17] DOS is 20y old :) [14:17] bekks: yes, the machine had DOS pre-installed [14:18] wow [14:18] how old is that machine? === NDS|Dog is now known as Your_Dog [14:18] AnAnt: maybe you installed your mbr to the wrong disk or partition [14:18] bekks: some machine have something like DOS installed (it maybe FreeDOS) [14:19] sacarlson: /dev/sda [14:19] re:screen Did you know? you can create up to 40 named sessions per screen session (user .screenrc to configure, more then 40 require recomiling gnu/screen)? Screenshot http://imagebin.org/206544 === gallo_ is now known as gallo [14:19] AnAnt: ok that sound like it should have worked then unless bios is set to boot another disk first [14:19] AnAnt: do you just get a black screen? [14:19] sacarlson: you delt with EFI before ? [14:19] ActionPa1snip: I just get a C:\> prompt [14:20] AnAnt: I don't know what efi is [14:20] AnAnt: then you will need to change the BIOS to boot the drive you installed to [14:20] Most likely there is no BIOS when having EFI. :) [14:21] AnAnt: ahh it's not installed, did you change the BIOS to boot CD first? === flood is now known as _flood [14:21] ActionPa1snip: There is no BIOS when having EFI. [14:21] AnAnt: or a shortcut to show a boot list so you can choose CD [14:21] I haven't delt with EFI before [14:22] probably grub should be installed to /dev/sda1 rather than /dev/sda [14:22] ? [14:22] is there any image loader server like Northon Ghost that I can use on ubuntu to load image to remote computers? [14:23] AnAnt: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91484/how-to-boot-ubuntu-from-efi-uefi [14:23] hey guys. :) [14:23] angs: i know the clonezilla livecd has some network support (but that's not "in" ubuntu) [14:23] angs: When having an Ubuntu image, you can work with whatever tool you want. [14:23] bekks: thanks [14:23] angs: you may want to take a look at some of the network install guides here and figure out which suits your situation best: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server_and_network_installations [14:24] thanks zykotick9 [14:24] does anyone know how, if possible, I can search for all files in a folder, with all subfolders, and have it display the amount of each extension? [14:24] thanks ZarroBoogs [14:25] Zaitzev: You could use find, and some basename/uniq/sort magic [14:25] bekks: Yeah I thought I could use find, it's the magic-part I don't know much about ^^ === massimo_ is now known as Guest90589 [14:26] Zaitzev: as a poor-man's example = find ./ -iname '*.html' | wc -l [14:26] zykotick9: but what if I wanted it to display all extensions, as a list? [14:26] just use *.* instead of *.html? [14:26] Zaitzev: ya, that's beyond me sorry. good luck man. [14:26] Zaitzev: Then you have to do some basename/uniq/sort magic [14:27] bekks: derp [14:27] bekks: +1 [14:28] Thing is, I have an ebook-folder with thousands and thousands of files, a few different types. would be nice to get some overview of what's in there. [14:28] Zaitzev: That doesnt change what I said ;) [14:28] I know that, but I don't know the first thing about the stuff you mentioned;) [14:28] Zaitzev: something like: find . -type f -exec basename {} \; | cut -d"." -f2- | sort | uniq -c [14:28] Zaitzev: how many extensions are we talking? just cd into the directory and "ls *.EXT1 | wc -l" then repeat for the different extentions [14:29] zykotick9: I don't know how many. 5? 15? :P [14:29] that's the whole point of this, to see what is in there, and have a count of it [14:30] i thought that's what "ls" was for? === Shadows` is now known as SoulShadow [14:30] I need some help [14:30] for some reason I can't figure out why, ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop fresh install is acting funny, wifi won't connect and fonts are white [14:30] anyone have this issue? [14:31] many people have issues with their wifi, mosesrenegade [14:31] Zaitzev: how about something like "find . -type f -exec file {} \; > list" then load it up into gnumeric and sort that way. [14:31] ZarroBoogs: Yours seems to be doing what I wanted <3 [14:31] (dealing with spaced filenames and the like is left as an exercise for the reader) [14:31] i don't know how to solve yours and I haven't heard of white fonts [14:31] Zaitzev: find /home/andy/Pictures/ | cut -d . -f 2 > ./file.txt; sort file.txt | uniq -c | sort -r works kinda here [14:31] Xabster -> Yeah, I realize that... I mean, I'm running a centrino 6230 bt.. [14:31] sudo reboot [14:31] Zaitzev: use a final grep to see what you want [14:31] ZarroBoogs: Or almost, at least. [14:31] what is the command to install package on ubuntu? [14:32] angs: "sudo apt-get install foo" [14:32] thanks [14:32] ActionPa1snip: Hm, I'll give that a try too [14:32] Zaitzev: find /home/andy/ | cut -d . -f 2 > ./file.txt; sort file.txt | uniq -c | sort -r | egrep -i 'gif|jpg|png|bmp|pdf' for example [14:34] ActionPa1snip: That's if I know all the extensions in all subfolders, which I don't. [14:34] bekks: thanks, looking there [14:35] Zaitzev: I guess, but it allows you to see the ones you want I gues. If you remove the grep it will output them all [14:35] roger that [14:36] I have a working apache but keep getting "You don't have permission to access ..." when hitting a symlinked dir. FollowSymlinks is set properly as far as I can tell [14:36] just tweaking [14:36] Anyone an idea what might be wrong? [14:36] JeroenDeDauw: Wrong permissions on the target of the symlink. [14:36] Or unreachable target due to insufficient permissions. [14:37] Zaitzev: find /home/andy/ -type f | cut -d . -f 2 > ./file.txt; sort file.txt | uniq -c | sort -r [14:37] I bet your name is Andy [14:38] Zaitzev: indeed :) [14:39] bekks: the permissions are 755 and the owner is www-data [14:39] hi!

[14:58] i already pasted it bekks [14:58] Please i have problem and must answer to message!! :| [14:58] ratatapa: Where? [14:58] how could I change language of keyboard? [14:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/913086/ [14:59] but i just closed my server and i still get a DHCP so the problem is my mac [14:59] not my config [14:59] azer__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [14:59] doesnt it ask you for what kind of keyboard you have during the installation of OS?

[15:01] 3) mount EFI partition (/dev/sda1) to /boot/efi [15:01] 4) Reinstall grub-efi- [15:01] 5) run grub-install [15:01] then unmount /boot/efi & exit & reboot [15:02] bekks: thanks again, the link you gave me helped [15:02] AnAnt: sound a bit easier then the efi page I was looking at that had you compiling stuf [15:02] sacarlson: yup, didn't have to compile anything ! [15:02] thats the popup msg " C header files matching your running kernel were not found. Refer to your distribution's documentation for installation instructions." [15:02] sacarlson: I can't beleive that I need to compile stuff, while grub-efi-* packages already exist ! [15:03] AnAnt: ya I thought the same when I saw a few other efi packages also in synaptic [15:03] hola57: Then provide the complete output of "sudo apt-get install linux-headers". [15:03] hola57: This time, using a pastebin ;) [15:04] I seem to have a memory leak in the linux system [15:04] bekks ok :D [15:04] how would I verify this [15:04] tjadc: Why do you think you have? [15:04] any idea why sending file from NTFS partition to android phone via bluetooth cause error every time ? === Mud is now known as Guest3384 [15:04] tjadc: might take a peak with the command top to see what is using it [15:05] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/913114/plain/ [15:06] rebe: does it only have the problem from ntfs or does it also have the problem from say /home/you [15:06] hola57: Please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a" and "uname -a" too [15:06] np from ext4 (or how is that called) so also /home/you [15:07] does anyone know the answer to this question? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9991595/ubuntu-11-10-bash-python-error-invalid-python-installation#comment12772172_9991595 [15:09] ratatapa: and I find with a bit more research you can have more than 1 range as you have in your config, so I guess your config is fine, my error [15:09] is anyone here? [15:09] gaara_akash: Take a look at "/names" please :) [15:10] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/913126/plain/ [15:10] hola57: So you are using backtrack, right? [15:10] bekks, sacarlson: I was using top to come to this deduction. As a rough estimation, I counted up the percentage of my memory being used by the applications (I sorted by mem usage), I managed to get rough 50% before I started hitting 0.1%s . 97% of my actual memory is in use [15:11] bekks: i have no clue what that is, i'm kinda noob in irc :/ [15:11] I dont see where the rest of the memory was allocated [15:11] bekks : ya [15:11] tjadc: take a look at "free -m". [15:11] hola57: Then please get support from the backtrack team, since you are not using Ubuntu. Thank you. [15:11] ok,tx bekks [15:12] tjadc: Unused memory is wasted memory, btw. [15:12] bekks: this is true, but memory that seems not to be allocated is even worse .. [15:13] According to top 50% of my memory is allocated to apps [15:13] tjadc: if none of the apps are using a large amount I guess it's cache, I've had to clear cache at times to start virtualbox that need alot to start [15:13] I would make a rough estimation of 70% if I include the 0.1%s [15:13] buffered memory is about 5% === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [15:14] hey [15:14] is it possible to get Python 3.1 on oneiric/precise? [15:14] 3.2 is too buggy [15:14] how do i install kde in 11.04? [15:14] i tried alot of packages but i dont see a way to autoconfigure it [15:14] apt-get install kde-full :) [15:14] sacarlson, bekks: I am really trying to track down where all this memory is allocated [15:14] kpow: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [15:14] ahh [15:15] i did kde-full i hope its well [15:15] thanks [15:16] tjadc: top just show real time, you can take a snapshot and look at in in a spread sheet to make a careful look from /sys/proc/?

Partimage, clonezilla, dd [15:18] I use it for imaging 200+ computers every few months [15:18] I LOVE FOG [15:18] thanks [15:18] Ok, this is my issue, my server is stucking at boot... it show me the busibox prompt saying that it's unable to mount /dev to /root/dev [15:18] gaara_akash, your installation seems corrupted, the key to the error is IOError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/include/python2.7/pyconfig.h (No such file or directory) [15:18] http://www.fogproject.org/ [15:18] i use it ALL the time [15:18] hi guys. I have my /home partition encrypted, and I've recently started having problems with logon. It doesnt mount the home partition automatically, and I have to mount it manually from the tty. Any suggestions, please? [15:18] gaara_akash, using 12.04? [15:18] daxhax: You're british, dont you? ;) [15:18] The only issue is some systems require special kernels, but generally it works out of box [15:18] kpow: 11.10 [15:18] angs it uses DHCP [15:18] I am not british [15:19] I am American [15:19] thank you very much [15:19] angs: u need to set up your dhcp server to allow PXE booting tho for it [15:19] … [15:19] Why is no people on LinMint chat server? [15:19] rime_ why are u asking us? [15:19] gaara_akash, i suggest to remove and reinstall python2.7 package, but im not sure how to do it without removing the dependencies, maybe some1 else can clarify on that part [15:20] !ot | rime_ [15:20] rime_: #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! [15:20] daxhax: Is there any tutorial? [15:20] rime_: how is that an ubuntu support question? [15:20] angs i'm sure there are... i can help you tho if needed [15:20] daxhax: I use company access point, AP does DHCP [15:20] FOG doesn't work over wifi [15:21] The remote PC is connected to the ethernet [15:21] it needs to be able to PXE boot [15:21] my laptop uses wifi [15:21] thats basically the only requirement [15:21] will it work if directly connect the desktop to my laptop? [15:21] kpow: python2.7 has HUGGEEE number of dependencies :/ [15:22] gaara_akash, sec i'll see how to ignore deps [15:22] how can I install DHCP server on ubuntu? [15:22] for FOG? [15:22] angs: you might as well just use Clonezilla [15:22] hello [15:22] <_Marcus> Hi gfc [15:22] How do i remove a package without removing the dependencies? [15:22] ok [15:22] angs: FOG is more for mass deployment, it requires a FOG server and has a web interface and such. If you're imaging 1,2 computers, clonezilla makes more sense [15:23] kpow: awesome tx === Kvik-DK is now known as James1 [15:23] thanks I will use Clonezilla [15:23] cheers === James1 is now known as Kvik [15:23] and they have a live CD [15:23] start there [15:23] http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php [15:23] kpow: why do you want to do that ?

[15:28] ptrkmj: theres a 64bit deb on the skype site === newbie is now known as Guest14769 [15:28] Yeah, but what is the reason it's not present in repo? [15:29] ptrkmj: no idea, I always use the site personally [15:29] kpow: i've tried out apt-get install --reinstall python2.7-minimal still doesnt help solve the issue [15:29] ActionPa1snip: even the 64bit deb contains only a 32bit binary [15:30] It's strange cause it's present in precise and previous distros [15:30] (before oneiric) [15:30] gaara_akash: so what is the difference between installing i386 and amd64? [15:31] llutz: gah [15:31] ptrkmj: i'm sorry, i dont understand the issue here [15:31] How do I check if a created symlink isn't dangling? [15:31] ptrkmj: are you telling me there is a i386 version installed and an amd64 and that is the conflict that is being produced? [15:32] llutz: yeah, although the package says its 64bit, loads of 32bit deps. 100Mb used after install. Damn [15:32] ActionPa1snip: they just made a 64bit-package with ia32libs as depends [15:32] I run an node on tor & hyperboria currently 48 hypernodes are up but over 200 are needed in more countries projectmeshnet.org cjdns.info [15:33] WHY THE FUCK DOESNT GEDIT HAVE A FUCKING GOD DAMN WORDWRAP FUNCTION [15:33] jesus fucking tap dancing christ [15:33] CharminTheMoose: "dangling" do you mean pointing to nothing? typically dead links will be red if you colour enabled in your terminal.

[16:15] ActionPa1snip, does that help? Should I just purge? [16:15] jrib: will try. [16:16] hi, how to install and setup github repository in ubuntu 10.04 server, pls help me... [16:16] humdrum: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer then enable partner repo and install adobe-installer [16:16] user1: the instructions for that are right in github I believe [16:17] user1: let me find them.... 1 sec [16:17] Sant: you cant boot a kernel as iso :) [16:17] Gotta go for a bit but I'll be back if you're still here? [16:18] what am i supposed to do once i compile kernel...not getting a clear idea as i am new to it [16:18] ? [16:18] Sant: why are you compiling the kernel [16:18] Sant: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [16:19] basically i want to learn kernel programming..so trying to compile n use in in virtualbox is my idea [16:19] but unable to get virtual box to boot kernel [16:19] Sant: compiling a kernel won't teach you how to program a kernel [16:19] ikonia: it's a very good first step. no need to quibble. [16:19] user1: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:etc etc [16:20] sipior: it's nothing to do with kernel programming [16:20] I would start by pulling a stage 2 image apart and understanding how the boot process works. [16:20] ikonia: if you plan on mucking with the kernel, you'll want to know how to build the damn thing. or do you believe that programmers should not know how to generate executables? [16:21] it wont..but just a first step into kernel programing..so i customise and compile [16:21] sipior: the few small non-programming commands to compile a kernel won't really help with any knowledge of how the kernel works/programming it [16:21] fire up a minimal install Linux PXE server [16:21] Sant: are you "ok" with c? [16:21] yes [16:21] sipior: Bah. Executables are overrated. I test my code via proof! ;) [16:21] die [16:21] ikonia: yes, but they are necessary to check your work. try not to be too dense. [16:22] hello [16:22] hi griffin you suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [16:22] Sant: have a look, at some simple bugs to do with the kernel, and try to work out how to fix some that will walk you into some of the internals [16:22] GeminiDomino: dijkstra? is that you? :-) [16:22] how can I disable smbd & nmbd daemons ? [16:22] that's part of samba [16:22] 7q [16:22] /quit [16:22] blabli: sudo service smbd stop [16:22] ActionPa1snip, I mean disable for ever [16:23] chkconfig [16:23] blabli: remove samba [16:23] no [16:23] llutz, funny but I use smaba [16:23] but only on demand [16:23] @ikonia thanks..would you happen to know of some site which is a good place to begin [16:23] ? [16:23] no that's rh . [16:23] otherwise I wouldn't have came here [16:23] update-rc.d smbd disable [16:23] update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/smbd missing LSB information [16:23] update-rc.d: see [16:23] System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/smbd do not exist. === dj_ is now known as DJ [16:23] sipior: Executables considered harmful. ;) [16:23] Sant: launchpad.net [16:23] blabli: very funny, why don't you tell us in detail what you want [16:24] blabli: you could add the command to stop the service in /etc/rc.local . its a hack but its simple to remove [16:24] llutz, what is more detailed than "I want to disable blabla service" ? [16:24] also using 'rcconf' does not work [16:24] Sant, I'm not sure of any sites, but O'Reilly had a pretty good book on the subject out a few years back. I'm not sure if there's an updated edition or not but it might be worth checking into [16:24] so it seems that there is no way to cleanly disable smbd/nmbd [16:25] blabli: echo 'manual' | sudo tee /etc/init/smbd.override [16:25] chkconfig does exist anymore [16:25] blabli: same for nmbd [16:25] llutz, do you have more documentation about this ? [16:25] I am very interested [16:25] !! [16:25] !upstart| blabli: [16:25] GeminiDomino i will check out those [16:25] blabli:: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [16:25] @ikonia wouldnt that still need me to know compilation? [16:26] update-rc.d [16:26] Sant: well, sort of if you plan to actually "fix" things [16:26] blabli: sysv-rc-conf would also do [16:26] sorry llutz but there is no mention of word "override" in the pages you send me [16:26] i hate you all [16:26] Sant: but I was more looking at a way to actually get you to understand how it's laid out into the different sub systems, how they link together [16:26] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [16:26] #hispano-loic [16:26] bbbbbbbbbbbb [16:26] c [16:26] d [16:26] e [16:26] dekokgri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:26] f [16:26] blabli: take it as a start for own research [16:26] bbbbbbbbbbxahcbvcvkhka vghkxvcs ghkv [16:26] tssss [16:27] I knew it was upstart [16:27] blabli: and yes, upstarts documentation is ... poor [16:27] seems so :-) [16:28] ikonia that is why i wanted to know how to set up a kernel compilation for booting...any pointers to that? [16:28] Sant: read the documentation [16:28] Sant: You could start with the link I gave you. [16:28] I get it http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files [16:29] I just set up a new HP printer (after some difficulty) and I'm trying to print but I can only print a test page. Do I need to reboot? [16:29] bekks yup ,..jus checking it out [16:29] thank you llutz ! [16:30] excelsior: can't hurt to try. [16:30] Dammit, I hate rebooting [16:30] I've learned somtehing today, will sleep more intelligent tonight [16:30] That's a Windows thing [16:31] excelsior: no it's not [16:31] are there more people here which uses hyperboria alongside normal internet? [16:31] excelsior: "it was" [16:32] Oh, do we have some Windows apologists here? I just had 7 spontaneously reboot on me without even a "if you don't mind..." [16:32] excelsior: frees ram, loads new kernels and so on. Its good every now and then [16:32] trying to setup RAID1 on a running 10.04 Desktop system, cannot seem to find mdraid1x kernel module - is it available only Sever kernels? [16:33] excelsior: i'd check the rebooting windows systems, make sure they are ok [16:33] Since when is Windows ever OK? When it's off? [16:34] petrovv_: thought about using Oneiric, it has later drivers and kernel which may help (or wait a while and install Precise) [16:34] excelsior, lets get back to ubuntu support please [16:34] excelsior: I manage SQL servers with 2 years uptime without issues... [16:34] ActionPa1snip, I'd like to stick to Gnome 2.* [16:34] Hi anyone here? I need help! [16:34] !notunity | petrovv_ [16:34] petrovv_: 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 [16:34] petrovv_: you can make 12.04 and 11.10 look like Gnome2 [16:34] salaria, with what? [16:35] petrovv_: www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ [16:35] ok, ok :-) [16:35] recently i migrated to linux.. although i have gud hand on it.. i wnna ask u about kernel [16:35] would you plz help me? [16:35] salaria: what's up ? [16:35] salaria, this related to ubuntu? [16:35] yes [16:35] ubuntu 10.04 [16:35] ActionPa1snip: are they LAMP stack SQL servers? That would make sense... [16:36] excelsior: windows SQL for Citrix boxes [16:36] excelsior: that wouldn't make sense, since a period of 2 yrs without kernelchanges (security fixes) would be stupid [16:37] HiHi i still has problem with DHCP in Ubuntu (fixed the problem from my mac if someone can help me plz Whoise me here so i don't spam the IRC [16:37] ratatapa: just state your problem [16:37] ratatapa: lets see if we can help [16:37] Please state the nature of your Ubuntu emergency [16:37] well its fixed lol [16:37] bazhang: ? [16:37] dunno why [16:37] ratatapa: ok, so no problem [16:38] salaria: what's up ? [16:38] sorry for bugging you lol [16:38] salaria, you never asked a question [16:38] but then i can ask this [16:38] ikonia: I want to compile kernel [16:38] ratatapa: it's not a bug [16:38] how do i check my lease on ubuntu server [16:38] i have its source code [16:38] aka who which address [16:38] can u help me step by step [16:38] ? [16:38] salaria: ok, why ? [16:38] ratatapa: you can see it in the lease file [16:38] salaria: why do you want to compile a kernel ? [16:38] I am working on a project [16:38] Where is the lease file^ [16:39] ratatapa: ooh, good question on ubuntu /var/lib/dhcp3-server/? [16:39] where i want kernel to boot frm a pendrive [16:39] i and its should start with a simple shell program [16:39] salaria: don't need to compile a kernel for that [16:39] then? [16:39] how? [16:39] salaria: just move the kernel to the pen drive and point grub at it [16:39] salaria: mv the kernel that's already built or copy it to the pen drive, then install grub to the pen drive and point it at the kernel on the pen drive [16:40] Suppose, if a computer does not have any OS , its just with a BIOS then will it work? [16:40] Thanks Ikonia [16:40] ratatapa: was I right ? [16:40] Semi :D [16:40] oh grub would be in pendrive itself? [16:40] salaria: depeds if your machine suppports booting from bios [16:40] ratatapa: just curious, working from memory [16:40] it was /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leasses [16:40] salaria: it has to be as that's what you are booting [16:40] ratatapa: close enough [16:40] indeed [16:40] :D [16:41] Yeah Got it.. So now what im doing is copying all files under linux-3.3.1 folder to pendrive root .. [16:41] wait [16:42] salaria: no, that is the kernel source, not the kernel [16:42] salaria: look - what are you trying to do ? why are you doing this ? [16:43] anyone know why /run/initramfs needs to be 1777 ? [16:43] antarus: didn't think it did [16:43] IKONIA: What my aim is.. to boot kernel and start a browser, from pendrive directly whenever i insert it in any pc whether it has any OS or not.. [16:43] guess im not much clear [16:43] salaria: ok, so just install ubuntu to the pen drive [16:43] salaria: that's all you need to do [16:44] Hello o/ [16:44] is 12.04 stable enough to use on a regular Desktop right now? [16:44] So, i should move kernel source or compiled kernel? [16:44] petrovv_: no, it's not stable [16:44] Can someone point me to a link for Wubi for 10.04? I can't find it, only the latest for 11. [16:44] salaria: neither [16:44] salaria: you need to install ubuntu to the pendrive [16:44] Then? [16:44] ikonia: I'm doing some auditing of Precise and it seems to ship that way by default [16:44] salaria: then nothing, you've got the whole OS ont he pen drive that will boot [16:44] Amis: is already on the iso [16:45] antarus: may well do [16:45] xangua, what do you mean? [16:45] ikonia: I dont want whole OS in my pendrive. I just want few drivers which i need for a web browser to run.. [16:45] what ubuntu version is good for running webserver? [16:45] salaria: you need the whole OS for the web browser [16:45] antarus: any you want [16:45] serious? [16:45] O.o [16:46] salaria: yes [16:46] xangua, oh I see what you mean, never actually tried to view the contents of the installer disk under Windows [16:46] I wanted to have a stand alone web browser nt an OS :( [16:46] salaria: then you cant do that [16:46] salaria: could try xpud [16:47] xpud? [16:47] salaria: yes [16:47] salaria: or puppy [16:47] ohki.. leme see that [16:47] it's still an OS [16:47] angs: theres a 'Ubuntu Server' distro :) Wikipedia runs on it :) [16:47] you still need to be running an OS [16:47] hi guys, i'm struggling a bit with ssh-keygen [16:48] i have a machine that i want to login to without typing the password each time [16:48] i tried to use ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 [16:48] then add to .ssh/id_rsa [16:49] anyone here?

[17:10] walidb, sounds like a problem on the sshd_config side [17:10] walidvb: or your username's password ? [17:11] aha [17:11] key [17:11] walidvb: there we go [17:11] ok so i should generate a key with no password [17:11] Sorry. I was enjoying the spoon feeding, haha. :P [17:11] for it to be used without typing a password [17:11] walidvb: if you can keep the private key safe, sure [17:11] i can [17:11] walidvb: be aware of the huge security risk you are creating [17:11] walidvb: anyone gets that key, they can login as you without any issue [17:12] ok [17:12] walidvb: go for it then [17:12] thing is, i am running a script that asks for password(and that i didn't write), and it seems that that step is messing the whole thing up. [17:12] walidvb: you could also look at keeping the password and using gnome-keyring manage to manage it [17:13] ok [17:13] bazhang,I do not know [17:13] ikonia: i'll try and redo the whole process, this time with no pw ^^ [17:13] I have an old desktop that has 2.40 GHz abd 1 GB RAM.

[17:16] is there any instruction for it? [17:16] ActionPa1snip: Yes, the hashes match. [17:16] ikonia: and i can do the exact same steps on the other side?

[17:17] But is there a way to manually stop DHCP [17:17] ActionPa1snip: 2 usb pendrives. Same issue. [17:17] satyanash: you can use the mini ISO and install from the web [17:17] after reading that i have a total different view about the new gui in ubuntu.? [17:17] GeorgeJ: tested your RAM health using memtest on the USB? [17:17] I am using uvccapture and the colour changes every timeI get a new frame. Any ideas why? [17:17] ActionPa1snip, How mini is it ? [17:17] i feel like i could really have loved plasma if unity hadn't gotten to me first [17:17] satyanash: 12Mb [17:17] ratatapa, sudo ifdown interface (eth0 eg) [17:17] ActionPa1snip, Cool. [17:17] !register [17:17] ya but i want my ETH0 to stay up [17:18] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [17:18] ActionPa1snip: It doesn't get that far. [17:18] i just wanna stop the DHCP service for now [17:18] i wonder if windows will follow ? [17:18] It hangs after printing: "SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 4.06-pre1 Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al" [17:18] do I need LiveUsbPendrivePersistent or InstallationFromUSBStick ? [17:18] ratatapa, /etc/init.d/dhcpd stop [17:18] dex: This channel is for support only, but if you want to discuss your link, #ubuntu-offtopic is available. [17:18] ratatapa: service xxxx stop [17:19] so the stick will load ubuntu to the desktop? [17:19] doesn't work seveas [17:19] ratatapa, hmm, it may be called different in ubuntu /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server I think [17:20] (I'm using centos for my dhcp server) [17:20] George, have you tried using a live disc - if that's still possible in 12.04+? I've had issues installing via usb where a disc worked fine. [17:20] ratatapa: try it with bash completion - start typing and expand with tabs [17:20] Like i said Seveas in /etc/init.d/d + tab i get no results [17:21] hubsinger: I believe I've managed to evade the error by installing 11.10 from the disc in the past. However, I have none available atm. [17:21] ratatapa, which dhcp server are you using? [17:21] ratatapa: hit tab twice [17:21] I've currently prepared the usb stick using the universal installer, gonna give unetbootin a go. [17:21] hi there, does anyone know how i can get my perfect system to boot windows by default? i was a bit of a dab hand with old grub, but this new version's beyond me [17:22] alecjw: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/how-to-change-grub-boot-order-456724/ [17:23] is there a way to temporarly have eth0 get an IP via DHCP? I have my machine setup for static IP at home but I need to get an IP from DHCP where I am located right now. Oh and I need to be able to do this fomr command line [17:23] kneeki: thats for dapper [17:23] ie 6 years ago [17:23] ie grub 2 [17:23] *grub 1 [17:24] does anybody here use YATE? [17:24] Oh, hm. [17:24] http://colekcolek.com/2011/10/22/change-grub-boot-order-ubuntu-11-10/ [17:24] i could do it no problem in dapper [17:25] kneeki: package not found [17:25] Also, looks like there is an app called 'startupmanager' [17:25] wait, let me check if i've got universe enabled [17:26] !universe [17:26] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [17:26] I am loading ubuntu 10.04 to my usb stick by universal usb installer. then can I install ubuntu my desktop by using the USB stick, like boot CD? [17:26] stevieman: sudo dhclient eth0 [17:26] apt-get source uses /etc/apt/sources.list , what does apt-get install uses? [17:26] angs: yes [17:26] argh, ubuntu changes too fast [17:26] the instructions on that page dont apply any more [17:27] esperanto: same thing. [17:27] esperanto: specifically, source uses the deb-src lines, while install uses the deb lines [17:27] esperanto: the sources create lists of packages and the sources [17:27] sacarlson, apparently I need to use the service? [17:27] angs: you might have to tweak the boot order settings [17:28] ZarroBoogs: thanx, you really helped me. [17:28] stevieman: why so you can shut down network-manager? [17:28] hubsinger: thanks, I already set the boot order. Now I will try to install ubuntu [17:28] anyone else know how i might change the boot order in grub2? [17:29] Escherial: seems to be in /var/lib/apt/lists/ [17:29] angs: there shouldn't be any difference between cd/dvd/usb except that usb is faster [17:29] sacarlson, when I did a sudo dhclient eth0 I got: Ranther than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service smbd reload [17:29] hubsinger: and no moving parts so more reliable [17:29] can someone help me? i think i have the wrong firmware/drivers loaded for my b43 because a wifi network that i know is present (can connect to it on win xp) is not showing up but other ones are???/ [17:30] LinuxApprentice: can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dmesg | grep -i firm [17:30] stevieman: try man dhclient ; dhclient is not a service like the server side [17:32] ActionPa1snip, http://pastie.org/3722068 [17:32] hubsinger: thank you, it is my first time to install linux from usb. I just wanted to make sure. thanks a lot [17:32] stevieman: that's because one should use the upstart jobs - atm "/etc/init.d/xxx start" and "service xxx start" do the same [17:32] ActionPa1snip, I'm grateful for all your help however I'm still unable to view flash videos. [17:32] stevieman: when I run it I get There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 4039 [17:33] humdrum, did you disable hw acelleartion in fullscreen flash? [17:33] augh [17:33] hi anybody here? [17:33] humdrum, acceleration [17:33] No. Not that I know of. [17:34] Is it possible to connect a NAS directly to the PC's ethernet port (Oneiric, Gnome) and browse the contents of the disk? I am connected at the same time to the internet via a WLAN USB dongle and do not want to sever the WLAN connection. [17:34] yes, why not? [17:35] hubsinger: there is no upstart for dhclient; is there? [17:36] anyone know how i might set my perfect system to boot windows by default? [17:36] is anybody else seeing problems with the latest thunderbird (running 11.10)? it just keeps hanging on me right after it updated. No particular way to trigger it that I see, but it happens every hour or two [17:36] i could do it easily in grub legacy, but grub2 is beyond me [17:37] alecjw: I just used the startupmanager app to do it. Granted, I'm not all that Linux savvy, but it worked on my Ubuntu 11.10. [17:37] kneeki: it isnt in the repositories [17:37] alecjw: sudo apt-get install startupmanager || sudo startupmanger [17:37] I have fallen in love all over again with Ubuntu. Not with Unity, which is slowly getting not so atrocious, but with Gnome 3 in classic mode. I feel like I have come back home after being away for a couple of years, and it feels good to be home. [17:37] Hrm, it's in mine. [17:37] bazhang, could that hardware acceleration cause problems when trying to watch flash videos in fullscreen? If I load up a video, make it fullscreen, it'll work fine, but if I leave fullscreen and try to switch back to it, it'll just view a frozen screenshot of the browser and stream the sound [17:37] alecjw: there is a nice grub2 gui in ppa grub-customizer [17:37] hello. is there an application installed by default that can take pictures with the webcam? [17:38] Nephro, not sure, I was referring to the dark/blue screen after the latest flash update [17:38] bahamas: not by default as far as I know but many you can install [17:38] hubsinger, When I try /etc/init.d/dhclient restart/start/reload I get: Command not found. When I try sudo service dhclient start I get: unrecognized service [17:38] kneeki: it isnt in the repos [17:39] When loading content rich pages with Firefox, it gets incredibly slow. It will temporarely even get a gray overlay from something as simple as scrolling. I do not have these problems using Windows. Ubuntu 11.10, all updates installed. [17:39] stevieman: dhclient isn't a service [17:39] zykotick9: thx - you where faster ;-) [17:39] zykotick9, I know that [17:40] alecjw: Hmm... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager [17:40] zykotick9, I was saying that when I use dhclient it's telling me it is a sevice [17:40] Bliepo, I have had the same problem. I have been using chomium-browser since. (Google Chrome for Linux). [17:40] Looks like you have to check the 'community-maintained' box. [17:40] Then do an 'sudo apt-get update' [17:40] stevieman: what version of ubuntu are you running? sudo dhclient eth0 ; works find in 10.04 and 11.10 [17:40] Bliepo, i made a typo, chromium-browser. [17:40] stevieman: yes , sry i missed that [17:41] Bazhang, I don't get a blue screen but a black box... I've purged flashplugin-installer, enabled partner repo and installed adobeflash-installer. Still no joy. [17:41] hylian, thanks for the suggestion, but I would like to try and fix it first, before considering switching browsers [17:41] hylian: chromium != google chrome (for gnu/linux) [17:41] !ppa [17:41] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [17:41] sacarlson, 11.10 [17:41] hubsinger, no problem [17:42] ActionPa1snip, any ideas? [17:42] stevieman: I'm running 10.04 at the moment maybe I should verify? [17:42] sacarlson, oh looks like it worked even though it tossed that message [17:42] !addppa [17:42] Since Ubuntu 9.10, a !ppa can be added using a single command « sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name » See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Adding%20PPAs for more details [17:42] stevieman: maybe you didn't read the message [17:42] how to install firewall on ubuntu? [17:43] zykotick9, yeah. but if you try sudo apt-get install chromium, you get a fun space shooter instead of the Google Chrome browser. so you have to add the chromium-browser to it. (But the shooter is fun too...) :o [17:43] There seem to be quite a lot of people that are experiencing syslinux hangs. [17:43] Hi all, my firefox addon manager and adress bar doesn't work. I reinstalled it totally (apt-get remove, deleting ~/.mozilla, install it again). whether entering site via adress type and enter nor with the green arrow. addon manager (via extras) shows an loading circle, nothing else. screenshots: http://www.eugenecomputergeeks.com/s1.jpg http://www.eugenecomputergeeks.com/s2.jpg [17:43] sacarlson, no I read it, I had to type it out here since it's on a different machine [17:43] hylian: that will change soon, chromium-browser was renamed to chromium in newer debian, so that should trickle down to ubuntu [17:44] !ufw | angs [17:44] angs: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [17:44] sacarlson, anyways, thank you I got my IP that I need [17:44] sacarlson: i can't find the grub2 ppa, what username is it under? [17:44] angs: you could use ufw for example [17:44] angs gufw if you need a gui [17:44] sorry, i'm an ubuntu n00t [17:44] *noob [17:44] Bliepo, that would be great. But this problem has been around a while with no real solution. I hope you solve it. [17:44] alecjw: grub2-customizer ? [17:44] alecjw: maybe grub-customizer [17:44] i thought you said i need to add a ppa first? [17:45] zykotick9, hmm, makes me wonder what the repo package name for the space shooter will be. [17:45] hylian, my best guess is video hardware acceleration going wrong, but that is just a guess [17:45] alecjw: https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer [17:45] hylian: chromium-bsu or something similar as i recall [17:45] sacarlson: actually bear with me a moment, i think i might have better results after an apt-get update [17:46] guys, how do i remove unity bar from second monitor? [17:46] Bliepo, i don't think so. i also run a very simple version of linux called Slitaz, and I don't see this problem there after installing Firefox. ff runs smooth as silk on Slitaz...?? [17:46] thanks [17:46] sacarlson: thanks, it's installing now [17:47] xsl: mabe strg + right-click -> remove bar [17:47] alecjw: ya hope it gets into main stream soon [17:47] is there a nice tool to encrypt usb drives or folders? [17:47] Clund: in Unity ? [17:48] was only an idea [17:48] Clund: strg= what key is that? [17:48] i7c: I think you can use nautilus right click and pick encrypt [17:48] Ctrl [17:48] hi, which is the best ubuntu laptop? anybody can help me? [17:48] sry (i am german) [17:48] I can never remember how to remove xorg completely... anyone have that info in active swap by any chance? [17:48] Now that I think about it: it might also be my videocard. It's been giving problems for some time now, using both windows and ubuntu [17:48] i7c, i know there is, but the name escapes me. if you want i'll see if i can dig it up. [17:48] Clund: no, it does not show any options on Unity Bar [17:49] hi, which is the best ubuntu laptop? anybody can help me? [17:49] ok, then i have no idea [17:49] hylian: take your time ;) [17:49] sacarlson: i have grub customizer open now but i cant work out how to set the default boot? [17:49] i miss legacy grub, it was so much easier [17:49] guruguru: try lenovo... i have one and i like it [17:49] guruguru, that question is a little vague. best on what? ubuntu laptop in comparison to what? [17:49] i'd just open /boot/grub/menu.lst, add "default saved" and add "savedefault" to the windows option === DoctorBaconite is now known as _sjs [17:49] Hey. I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 desktop on a computer from USB, but it wont boot. I get a message saying "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" [17:49] So it seems nobody has a definitive solution to the flash update problem. Perhaps I should ask at the Ubuntu forums? Also, thanks to those who have tried to help. [17:49] i7c: I'm not sure I had to install anything for the nautilus, it might be a plugin I forgot, but you should look to see if it's already there [17:49] to use ubuntu [17:49] hi is there a way to suppress disk caching for dvds? i have an external player that is really loud and i'd rather have it run at "reasonable" speeds while watching a dvd instead of going full blast trying to fill the cache [17:50] Hi all, I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a new machine (Gigabyte motherboard, Radeon graphics card). The LIveCD keeps hanging. The AlternateCD gets partly completed, then hangs. It won't respond to CTRL-ALT-F1 etc. How can I find out what is causing the problem? [17:50] sacarlson: gotta install nautilus first then :D thanks for the hint [17:50] alecjw: the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 is the default to boot, in the file /etc/default/grub (don't forget "sudo update-grub" after any changes) [17:50] jsteven5: Have you tried checking your RAM? [17:50] sacarlson: i'm not on gnome. [17:50] i7c: oh your not running standard desktop? nautilus is included [17:51] i7c, will you need to gain access to the data from another os? (i.e. windows 7, MacOs, etc?) [17:51] zykotick9: yup, but once i've changed that to "saved", how do i specify the default? [17:51] sacarlson: no, lxde. hylian: nope, just from linux itself is fine i guess. [17:51] alecjw: that i don't know, sorry. good luck. [17:51] I started on the Memory check on the liveCD, but stopped at about 50% complete to try some other options. I can give it another go, but it will take a few hours. [17:51] guruguru, you might find this site useful: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ [17:52] Hey. I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 desktop on a computer from USB, but it wont boot. I get a message saying "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" Any ideas? [17:52] alecjw, are you trying to change the default boot in grub 2 [17:52] moes: yup, i want to boot windows by default [17:52] Deifyed: the installation does not boot? [17:52] oh, i miss the good old days of dapper [17:52] when everything was easy [17:52] Hi all, my firefox addon manager and adress bar doesn't work. I reinstalled it totally (apt-get remove, deleting ~/.mozilla, install it again). whether entering site via adress type and enter nor with the green arrow. addon manager (via extras) shows an loading circle, nothing else. screenshots: http://www.eugenecomputergeeks.com/s1.jpg http://www.eugenecomputergeeks.com/s2.jpg [17:53] i7c, well then I would suggest truecrypt. first of all, it's open source. and it's easy. here's a how to guide: http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/11/12/encrypting-a-filesystem-with-truecrypt-on-ubuntu/ [17:53] Hey. I'm trying to install ubuntu 11.10 desktop on a computer from USB, but it wont boot. I get a message saying "No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!" Any ideas? [17:53] alecjw, sudo /etc/default/grub then set the number of your windows position starting with zero [17:53] 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, or at least be talked about like the Firefox 10 transition was. Anyone know if Lucid's Thunderbird 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). [17:53] Thanks. [17:54] Clund: something is still messed up in your install, looks like a lot of the ui is missing [17:54] i7c, that guide is still pretty useful, but it's a little old, so if yo9u need help setting it up, perhaps I can help [17:54] moes: so i have to change it every time i have a kernel update? [17:54] that would be very inconvenient [17:54] hylian: thanks a lot! :) i'll tell ya when i need help. [17:54] could be. [17:54] maybe installing without xserver ? [17:55] Deifyed: it does not boot from usb? how did you prepare your usb drive? [17:55] in runlevel 2 ? [17:55] i want something equivelant to what i used to do with grub legacy: i'd add "savedefault" to the windows menu item, and set "default saved" [17:55] kneeki: I can try the ram test again. I thought that it might be the radeon card, because I could get further by setting some kernel options (radeon.modeset=0), but I don't think that would cause problems in the alternate CD. [17:55] i7c: Followed the guide on ubuntu.com. I'm able to boot it on my laptop, but not my desktop. [17:57] kbrosnam: should i install it in rulevel 2? [17:57] anyone? im still looking to make my perfect installation boot windows by default === k-rAd- is now known as stillenacht [17:57] Deifyed, what did you use to set up the usb key? unetbootin? [17:58] I used the "Universal USB Installer" [17:58] hi, i am using ubunty 10.04. also using firefox 11.0, along with thunderbird 11.0.1. problem i have is; whenever i click on a url link in thunderbird,firefox shows up minimized along bottom tray, i would lk the firefox windo to pop up on the screen...any ideas how to fix this [17:59] Deifyed: any errors when setting up? did you select the right version of ubuntu in the usb installer? [18:00] when pc is powered up, ubuntu asks password for the log in, how can I disable this option? [18:00] I want to see the desktop when it is booted [18:00] i7c: No errors and right version yes. [18:00] !hylian++ [18:01] Deifyed, i suggest, if you have ubuntu installed, that you wipe the usb key, set up the partition as fat 32, and then install and use unetbootin. i have very few problems with it. you will need an iso or cd of ubuntu though. [18:01] @angs: You can set it in System->Administration->Login Screen [18:02] alecjw: I'm not sure how you can get much easier than grub-customizer http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/grub-customizer-20-can-change-default.html [18:02] Does anyone know where to get this how much it costs . Is it real ? does it work on deb systems or only rpm ? ect http://www.hepsia.com/ .Talk about bad advertising, All I can find is demo lol [18:02] hylian: Okey, I'll try that. Thanks. === angelbroz is now known as angelbroz^aw [18:03] hello guys, i am tying to install a VM on a fresh ubuntu oneiric, and whatever ISO i would use as --location i have "Could not find an installable distribution" error [18:03] Deifyed, no problem. I have been using unetbootin for all my installs since 9.04. i don't burn cd's anymore. I use it a ton, because I run a Ubuntu based computer business. [18:03] any ideas what to check? [18:04] hylian: Sounds promising. Ill give it a try :) [18:04] chaseX: thanks [18:04] I will connect ubuntu remotely. Do you recommend me to use TeamViewer or another better program?

I guess I'm not hip on all these acronyms. I must be an old hippy. :) [18:15] hi [18:15] angelbroz: the process id of the current bash is $$ [18:15] hylian: :D [18:16] nitenik__, hello [18:17] i7c: ohh $! is the last PID executed, so i run it and then call $!, maybe that works [18:17] hylian how can 1 use 2 monitors on ubuntu 11.10 [18:17] i hawe nvidia 8600gts [18:17] nitenik__, do you have both monitors plugged in? [18:17] nitenik__, i meant to the computer, not to electricity. [18:18] hey! why do i have to do sudo modprobe vboxdrv everytime i boot? [18:18] how can I see what is the password of root? [18:18] hylian i hope it was a joke [18:18] to run Virtualbox, that is. [18:18] nitenik__, yep. :) === ironhalik_ is now known as ironhalik === motherbrain is now known as jteguest [18:19] hylian but it behaves like a disconnected [18:19] I cant use "emerge" ? Why not? [18:19] it this a feature of gentoo? [18:20] sorry for my language - i did't have praktice alot [18:20] nitenik__, i guess what I am saying is, after pluggin both monitors in, you did not get use of the second monitor at all? there are 2 modes, one copies the desktop of the first monitor to the second. the other mode makes one continous desktop out of the two monitors. it isn't doing this? [18:21] nitenik__, clicking on your username on the top right of 11.10 or 12.04 will give you the option for displays, what do you see there? [18:21] Hello o/ [18:21] Shappy, hello [18:21] ok ill try [18:22] I have a network place set up (SSH) and now it fails to connect. That's not a problem but why does the whole top bar freezes while it's trying to connect? That's as dumb as when Windows is discovering network. I though Ubuntu could do better. [18:22] thought* [18:23] Shappy, i use ssh to connect to a long distance computer all the time. I don't have that problem...?? [18:23] hylian, this is a network place (Places > Connect to server...), not inside the terminal [18:24] Shappy: use the terminal. much more fun :) [18:24] No... [18:24] I use the terminal for other fun stuff over SSH [18:24] This is for SFTP [18:24] Shappy: mount the remote computer with sshfs... then you can use it in GUI [18:24] oh [18:24] ok [18:24] i7c, Shappy, sorry. i am so used to the terminal emulator, that I didn't think about the question. I never use my ssh'ed connection that way... [18:25] hylian: me neither. i'm faster in terminal ^^ [18:25] There are people who do better in a GUI when they are juggling withfiles [18:25] how can I add a program in the start-up? [18:25] Especially if these people are used to Windows [18:26] Shappy: I use nautilus with sftp all the time without any problems, maybe a dns lookup problem? [18:26] sacarlson, the problem is not that it can't connect. The problem is that the top bar of the X freezes while it's trying to connect. [18:26] angs: i think you can make a .desktop file. if i remember right it supports autostart stuff [18:26] I have to wait till it times out [18:26] angs, if you install alacarte, it is pretty easy to add menu entries with. [18:27] And that's dumb [18:27] It makes me assume that the whole bar is a single-threaded app [18:27] Shappy: I'm not sure I run 10.04 so maybe it's a unity thing? [18:27] hylian: thanks [18:27] sacarlson, I have 10.04 too [18:27] Freshly installed [18:27] hi! I added a menuentry into grub2's 40_custom, but it won't show up when i boot. Anyone know what could be the problem? thanks [18:28] Whenever I attempt to use the Windows Key + and start typing to search via Gnome3, gnome crashes (and sub sequentially restarts). This just started today and persists after a restart. Here is my ~/.xsession-errors file: http://pastebin.com/y2ziSzdG [18:28] Shappy, maybe i can get the same problem to happen here. what exactly are you using to ssh? maybe i can find something... [18:28] Shappy: well the system I connect to is on my local lan so maybe I just have never seen the problem before [18:29] Shappy, and i connect to sdf.org's free shell access via ssh. so i am not a whole lot of help either... [18:29] hylian, I'm connecting to an SSH location via Places > Connect to server... > SSH, it opens an SFTP connection. While it's connecting it freezes. You usually don't notice it because it connects instantly but if can't it'll just hang and wait for timeout [18:29] Shappy, ill try that and see what happens [18:29] I'm trying to configure and build xserver and getting a warning: unrecognized options: --with-fontdir, --with-dri-driver-path. http://dpaste.com/726381/ [18:29] While it's connecting the whole top bar (Applications, Places, System) is useless [18:29] Not responding [18:29] is there something I can do to fix it? [18:30] laSt_duDe, Did you run sudo update-grub after the changes [18:31] Shappy, it worked perfectly for me, i continously was clicking applecations on/off. I am running 12.04 beta though, so prehaps they have solved this issue? [18:31] no do i HAVE to do this? [18:31] hylian, have you tried connecting to a non-existing location like ssh://am.not.here.com ? [18:31] Shappy, no, but let me try that now... [18:31] hey all [18:32] i just installed 11.10 [18:32] Also try an existing location that doesn't respond thou I can't say any right now [18:32] and it randomy keeps greying the screen and i cant do anything [18:32] Shappy: I even try connect to an ip the doesn't exist and it times out in about 3 secounds so maybe my time out is set different? [18:32] laSt_duDe, It will show you what your menu [18:32] sacarlson, probably because it instantly tracks down that the destination doesn't exist [18:32] i will try, thanks alot moes [18:33] I know, try google.com [18:33] It doesn't respond [18:33] So it'll have to time out === vijeshm_ is now known as vijeshm [18:33] Shappy, I still had no problems with the bar on top. This could be because I am using Gnome 3 in classic mode, or because I am using Ubuntu 12.04 beta... or who knows what other reason... sorry. [18:33] Is there any tool that help me install ubuntu over a network? Preferable a 1-click-boot tool. [18:33] hylian, just for the heck of it try connecting to google.com with Connect to server... via SSH [18:34] hmm still wont load my custom menuentry [18:34] Shappy, you bet, here i go into oblivion, LOL [18:34] GeorgeJ: I've been doing some research on pxe auto install but have failed in a few attempts with kickstart [18:35] GeorgeJ: my next bet would be to try preceed or another I found in ppa [18:35] Shappy, again, applications and places stay fully useable. I never connect to google, ofcoarse... some google admin somewhere is going "what in tarnation..." [18:36] Then I don't know, I can no longer reproduce it either since to what I'm trying to connect is responding again [18:37] GeorgeJ: this was what I had planed to try next to automate install over pxe http://fai-project.org/download/ [18:37] Shappy, my system is just too different from yours, not just in hardware. I really tweak my version of Ubuntu. who knows what is causing the problem. [18:37] sacarlson: A cross-platform solution would be nice. [18:37] GeorgeJ: oh then that's perfect for you fai [18:38] Shappy, sorry i wasn't very helpful. :( [18:38] how do i do a manual install? [18:38] sacarlson: Syslinux is giving me headaches with an usb drive and I've got no CD available :( [18:38] hylian, it's fine [18:38] GeorgeJ: oh if it's only a single system you don't need auto install then [18:39] sacarlson: I don't need auto install, yes. [18:39] Hello. [18:39] How do I install the older version of nvidia-current? [18:40] It's 295x but I need 290x [18:40] Shappy, if it happens again, maybe you could log out of unity and try another desktop environment. then if the problem goes away, you have a direction to go with this. Only a thought... [18:41] GeorgeJ: there are tons of docs on pxe boot these are my personal notes on my successes http://pastebin.com/WtjDbDzv I can tell you that 10.04 doesn't work without adding things to initrd [18:42] hylian, again, I'm on 10.04 without Unity === CannedCorn is now known as tbrock [18:43] Shappy, oops, missed that post. :0 [18:44] hello can someone help im on 11.10 and want to disable synflood protection completely it disconnects my internet while downloading with bittorent [18:45] omri: take a look at /etc/sysctl.conf [18:45] omri, never heard of it. if you don't mind I could see what I can dig up... [18:45] bekks, thanks, dude! [18:46] sacarlson: Thank you for the info, however the only system I've got available currently is a Winblows. [18:46] GeorgeJ: sorry I'm not a windows guy, maybe run virtualbox in windows and run the pxe server in that [18:47] sacarlson: Hehe, it's allright, thank you anyway. [18:47] Is there no way to downgrade the nvidia driver? [18:47] I'm wondering if I should report this bug on the ubuntu bug list, it might be a syslinux bug. [18:48] bekks thanks for reply i did try disable cookies then it just drops request i tried increasing the amount of half open connections to 1024 and then it doesnt download at all [18:49] anyone ever use the lorex security camera hardware? [18:49] i have ubuntu 11.04 on a virtual appliance and while it can ping local mashines and it can resolve ip addresses for internet domains (nslookup works) it cannot find the route to internet mashines (ping: unknown host google.com) [18:50] I am trying to find a client or software that will allow me to view them from ubuntu [18:51] Anyone can recommend software for remote viewing of lorex security cameras?. [18:52] taek: the system I see looks like a complete system that any system with a browser can use it [18:53] I wish, it requires safari with a plugin, which can only be used on mac [18:55] teak: ubuntu with firefox can emulate a safari browser [18:55] sacarlson: only user agent [18:55] taek: ^ [18:55] It wont run the plugin. [18:56] nothing about how safari browses [18:56] teak: no your right it won't [18:56] I've thought to try the user agent switcher to get anything j ust ask to l oad the plugin. [18:57] Hello in here. Is there anyone of you who can help me with Amsn? [18:57] taeK: funny they point out that it's works with PC (Microsoft Windows 7/Vista/XP) compatible using Internet Explorer browser [18:58] I've tried that with my laptop running 7, all i got was a blank page, also in windows they recommend using the lorex client [18:58] I could try to run it in wine, but something tells me it wont work [18:58] I need a simple script that copyes a folder to another drive on system startup, could someone help? [18:59] debian sid [18:59] benny924, you need debian support? [19:00] no thanks [19:00] I will try lorex client in wine, see if it works at all [19:01] I have a problem with my webcam. i am using a laptop with in ingraded. But after i started using my webcam i can't send any messages. I look in the configuration and find out that i am behind a firewalled router. What can i do? [19:01] i have today upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 on 11.10 with xfce desktop enviroment :) [19:01] tiger77: you can setup port-forwarding in your router [19:02] teak: And how do i do that? [19:03] Hello, how do I lock my WiFi's regulatory country code? I keep setting it, but Network Manager is being a stupid pain in the arse and switching it back again. [19:03] tiger77: that really depends on your router, you'd have to check your router's documentation [19:03] Tiger77 first you need to find the right ports, then look in the user manual of your router on how to set it [19:04] Where do i find my router then. I am using a Usb dongle [19:04] regulatory country code? guess not being a world traveler, i've never heard of such a thing [19:04] tiger77: your router is what is broadcasting your wireless signal (it's probably attatched to your modem) [19:05] I have no manuel over my usb-dongle. It's just plug'n'play === PioneerAxon_ is now known as PioneerAxon === Mud is now known as Guest51725 [19:05] KM0201: Governs channels and TX power. [19:05] ic [19:05] Lorex Client crashes in wine! [19:05] Has anyone managed to fix this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1779418 ? [19:05] taek: Then contact the Lorex support :) [19:06] GeorgeJ: if you have windows, I suggest using LiLi to create the bootable USB [19:06] just google Lili it will be the first hit [19:07] taek: Does Lili fix this issue? [19:07] taek: Where can i setup my port and how? [19:07] the fact this is happening with usb creator and unetbootin, the odds of lili working are slim.... i'm guessing he is getting a busybox issue [19:07] tiger77: if you don't have access to a router, you can't [19:07] LiLi has always created a proper bootable usb flash drive. [19:07] GeorgeJ: did the screen say something about "busybox" [19:08] taek: well, for me, usb creator and unetbootin have always worked as well... if he is having an issue w/ both of those, i'm guessing there's some other underlying issue, that lili is not going to resolve [19:08] KM0201: No, the machine just hangs after displaying the syslinux copyright. [19:08] How can i then turn off my webcam on my laptop? And will i then be aple to send messages on msn? [19:08] KM0201: I get no prompt, nothing. Just a flashing cursor. [19:08] great, so I found a IRC network that is active :) [19:08] Could very well be a corrupted download of the ISO [19:09] GeorgeJ: sometimes booting USB, can be very finicky (depending on the usb drive believe it or not)... i've had some USB drives that boot perfectly, and others that don't do it a tall. [19:09] what are you guys talking about? [19:09] GeorgeJ: what model USB drive? [19:09] KM0201: The pendrive I use has worked on other machines, and I've tried more pendrives on this one, same issue. [19:09] KM0201: yahp, I can back that one up. [19:09] An Adata s102 [19:09] GeorgeJ did you happen to check the checksum after the iso downloaded? [19:10] taek: I did. [19:10] GeorgeJ: ok, then it comes down to a hardware issue on the machine you're trying to boot, vs an external issue. [19:10] I suspect it's a hardware issue. [19:10] GeorgeJ: have you attempted to default the bios and trying then on the netbook? [19:10] I'm also having the same problems with 12.04 [19:10] that seems to be the most obvious GeorgeJ ... [19:11] It's a laptop, an Acer Aspire 5750G [19:11] Have you tried with an older release?. [19:11] GeorgeJ: does it have an optical drive? [19:11] The same pendrive works on nother machines, so that pretty much slims it down. [19:11] 10.04 KTS for example [19:11] LTS* [19:11] LTS will not solve this problem [19:11] taek: I remember I have, and it worked afaik, however older releases don't support my graphics card. [19:12] Booting the drive worked atleast. [19:12] No but you could upgrade from that. [19:12] GeorgeJ: can you burn a CD? === Guest94907 is now known as Dorito [19:12] KM0201: Sadly, no. That's how I installed last time. [19:12] I've got no CD available currently. [19:12] I have a parition /dev/sda10 which is about 232GB (ext4) and is empty, but df says that 220GB is available? [19:13] so it's not that you *can't*.. you just don't have one available.. big difference [19:13] what is wrong with it? [19:13] GeorgeJ: what *I* would try... is 1. try installing from a CD, see if that resolves the problem. [19:13] KM0201: Indeed, I've expressed myself wrong. [19:14] I've tried 'sudo iw reg set XX' and loading cfg80211 with the option 'ieee80211_regdom=XX'. The latter briefly does the right thing, but then something, presumably NM, reverts it. [19:14] KM0201: As I've got no CD available, I'm thinking of doing a netboot. [19:14] GeorgeJ: if that doesn't work, try putting the ISO on the USB, and download/burn Plop Boot manager.... boot the CD, and use Plop to boot the USB. I strongly suspect this is a hardware issue on that laptop, just not sure what it is. [19:14] GeorgeJ: you can try a netboot, i've never had luck w/ them though [19:14] Crazy ideea, can I not install grub on the said usd pendrive? [19:14] You could us e grub4dos [19:15] GeorgeJ: you can install grub anywhere you want, if you use the advanced setup. [19:15] Grub4Dos allows booting ISO files through grub [19:15] There's several people having the same issue I do and sadly there's no solution so far. [19:15] GeorgeJ: but i don't see how you think this is going to solve your problem [19:15] Hi!!! [19:15] I have problems with flash (I can't see it with firefox), what I can do?? [19:15] KM0201: Installed from a CD works, as I've done it before. [19:15] GeorgeJ: i seriously doubt there's "no solution so far" [19:16] GeorgeJ: so.. there's a solution [19:16] iarfen: 10.04? [19:16] KM0201: Not to the original problem which is installing ubuntu from an usb pen drive. [19:16] Also, sometimes it will seem like it hangs, when really it's just processing data. That's happened to me on my netbook [19:16] KM0201: I have ubuntu 10.10 [19:16] :D [19:16] GeorgeJ: well, like i said, i gave you what are your likely two options [19:17] iarfen: upgrade to a supported release [19:17] KM0201: Yup, thank you. [19:17] This whole regulatory domain thing is a load of rubbish. If I use a laptop from one country in an other country, there should be a simple way to set the reg. [19:18] hey guys. 12.04 beta2, Unity issue. When I press Super + Left/Right/Up/Down (to max/min the app window) the Unity "Keyboard Shortcuts" overlay appears immediately after. Anyone know how to amend this? [19:18] markgifford : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [19:18] oops, will do [19:18] !precise | markgifford [19:18] markgifford: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [19:18] then uninstall unity, and your problems will be solved === ttl_ is now known as ttl- [19:19] hey people, i'm using gnome 2.32 right now (unity in classic mode) [19:19] can I install KDE side by side to gnome, just to test it? [19:20] RafaleM, kubuntu-desktop package, choose at login window [19:20] RafaleM: yes, but it can get messy (all the apps it integrates, etc..) if you try to remove it.. best bet, download/burn a kubuntu ISO and test run it [19:21] ok, thanks for the tip [19:21] but if I like it, can i make it replace gnome without uninstalling ubuntu? [19:21] RafaleM: i wish there wwas a way to keep the two GUI'ss totally separate (own menus, etc..) but i've not found a way to do that. [19:22] RafaleM: i would think so... not sure exactly what you'd need to remove, but you should be able to. [19:22] !purekde | RafaleM [19:22] RafaleM: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde » [19:22] KM0201: yeah, it would be nice [19:22] taek: LiLi doesn't work either sadly. [19:22] KM0201: Can I upgrade to that without reinstalling all?? [19:22] good link bazhang [19:22] I'm going to give grub a spin, hopefully I'll be able to install it on the thumbdrive. [19:23] iarfen: yes [19:23] I've allready got a version of ubuntu intalled, can I used that to boot into the iso? [19:23] !upgrade | iarfen [19:23] iarfen: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [19:23] GeorgeJ why not just dist-upgrade? [19:23] iarfen: 10.10 is supported for about 3 more weeks, but I wouldn't get your hopes up on any major upgrades coming down the pipe in these last few weeks [19:23] i'm a relatively new user of ubuntu, I installed it about 3 weeks, gnome is good, but maybe i would like more the kde (sorry the english) [19:23] thsu why i suggested to upgrade [19:23] taek: Hehe, that's what got me into problems in the first place. [19:24] taek: Unity crashed while doing the upgrade. [19:24] Now everything's flickery. [19:24] Well no offense, but unity sucks. [19:24] And I'd like to do a clean reinstall. [19:24] RafaleM: maybe, it's good to test them... i hate KDE.. but it's better than Unity [19:24] KM0201: But I was thinking Ubuntu 11.10 was the last...., isn't it??? :S [19:24] KM201: yeah, I didn't like Unity too [19:24] taek: Alt+Tab sometimes crashes unity for some reason. [19:24] the last?.. what? [19:25] version? [19:25] iarfen: if you upgrade 10.10, you'll have to upgrade to 11.04, then to 11.10 [19:25] afk as I am at work [19:25] How do I properly set my country code?? It's not working properly. [19:25] KM0201: Wait!! I have 11.10, not 10.10, I mistake xDD [19:25] RafaleM: i still don't understand, last vversion of what? [19:25] iarfen: big difference [19:26] KM0201: Sorry!!! What I do with flash?? [19:26] My WiFi regulatory domain is incorrect for my country. [19:26] i hadn't heard issues w/ 11.10 [19:26] KM0201: iarfen that asked it [19:26] I stick with 10.04 :D [19:27] i'm with 11.04 =) [19:27] hello [19:27] taek: 10.04 is having flash issues as well, so i fail to see how that resolves the problem [19:27] is there a setting for make the mouse scroll more lines? [19:27] hello, seeking an xml editor, which has good xsd and xpath support. Can somebody recommend a tool? [19:27] What's an easy way to transfer files between my 2 home Ubuntu 11.10 computers on a wired network? Do I need to setup a FTP server? [19:27] when I am brownsing (for example on a forum/blog with a long page) I have to do a lot of scroll down with the wheel, and It is scrolling so little lines [19:27] I don't look at flash so that problem is mute for me [19:27] ny1 here can tl me ow to open root directory in ubunt 12.04 [19:27] unkn-error: You might be having the same problem I was having, after rebooting into Ubuntu from Windows, the scroll wheel scrolled like 3 times per click. [19:27] Xabster: samba is easy, or setting up an FTP would be easy.. either one [19:28] ssh would be simplest [19:28] samba, whats that? [19:28] Xabster: Just use rsync to copy them. [19:28] That'll work over SSH [19:28] abhisinghal: use terminal :D [19:28] unkn-error: I unplug and plug back my mouse transciever, it fixed it.

[19:29] when I execut "do-release-upgrade", it says "No new release found" even though I'm on 10.04, any idea how to fix that? [19:30] patcito that 's because there's no updates for your version at this time [19:30] patcito: you may need -d on the end.. do-release-upgrade -d [19:30] NO [19:30] patcito: I was having that issue loong time ago, I have just get the new iso image and reinstalled [19:31] JamesJRH: network manager? [19:31] Yes. [19:31] JamesJRH: what's wrong? [19:31] patcito: if you're intersted in upgrading to 10.10, you'll need to change /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to prompt=normal from prompt=lts. If you're trying to upgrade to 12.04 beta, use -d [19:31] patcito: do not use the -d switch unless you're upgrading to the development release. [19:31] oh. i should have explained waht -d meant. [19:31] <3 my *buntu! [19:31] iarfen: you can try downgrading your version of flash. [19:32] beandog: Trouble with WiFi reg. [19:32] JamesJRH: ugh, I suck at anything wifi relatd [19:32] related [19:32] KM0201: Ok how I can do it? [19:32] got it by changing prompt=normal, thanks [19:32] patcito: np [19:32] JamesJRH: try hitting up the forums [19:32] iarfen: open synaptic [19:33] JamesJRH: be sure to mention your exact wifi card [19:33] Hello again. How can i turn off my webcam. I am on a laptop from Acer? [19:33] KM0201: and now?? [19:33] iarfen: in synaptic, do a search for flash [19:33] and you should have a package called "flashplugin-installer" [19:33] beandog: Trouble is WiFi reg is stupid, and does not accept that WiFi cards may be shipped to another country. [19:33] that is installed [19:34] KM0201: I install flashplugin-installer?? [19:34] iarfen: it should be installed [19:34] is it not? [19:34] beandog: Do you know where NetworkManger's channel is? I can't find it on freenode's alis. [19:34] JamesJRH: Likely on gimpnet, where gnome's official channels are. [19:35] ZarroBoogs: Thanks. [19:35] I am using uvccapture and the colour changes every timeI get a new frame. Any ideas why? [19:35] JamesJRH: dunno if they even have one [19:36] ZarroBoogs, beandog: Actually it's #nm on freenode. [19:36] is there anything bad (security risk, etc.) with permanently having an ssh connection open? i sometimes open a ssh master connection with 3 hours timeout... [19:37] how do i see what graphics card i have [19:37] i7c: not really. [19:37] i7c: you could use screen to detach your sessions though if you wanted, so you didn't have to stay logged in. [19:37] funnyhaha: lspci [19:37] beandog: okay then. :) [19:37] JamesJRH: interesting... [19:37] thanks [19:38] who's the genius that made it, when you apt-get smartmontools, you're stuck with Postfix? Why cant you just get it sepretly? [19:38] beandog: yeh i know about screen/tmux, but it's like that, i open and close sessions quite frequently so a master connection was the right thing to do. [19:38] Olfway: install ssmtp instead of postfix [19:38] so i'm attempting to install lubuntu on a PowerBook G4. It's so slow that I can't boot the Install Lubuntu 12.04 on the desktop after I get vmlinux to boot [19:38] Any tips? [19:39] Olfway: its a recommended dependency, you don't need to install those. [19:39] I run a webserver on ubuntu 10.04. What can I do to increase the security of the server without effecting webservicing? [19:39] any one else having trouble with latest adobe flashplayer updates? [19:39] KM0201: yes it's installed, but it doesn't work, what I do?? :D [19:40] PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5)...... is that a pcie x16 ? [19:40] iarfen: try this... uninstall flash plugin installer [19:40] ZarroBoogs: It doesn't have chanserve though, maybe that's why alis doesn't get it. [19:40] thats just the thing: I didn't want Postfix or anything like it. All i wanted was smartctl, but someone, i guess, didn't think that was enough, so they forcefeed you all that other crap [19:40] angs: don't run anything as root [19:40] allie83: any one else having trouble with latest adobe flashplayer updates? [19:40] JamesJRH: Its not a registered channel either, which is weird. [19:40] KM0201: ok, and then?? [19:40] how can I see/close all runned programs as root? [19:41] iarfen: now, go to adobe.com and click downloads, then get flash player [19:41] allie83: mine crashed alot more than whats normal, if thats what you mean [19:41] I use htop in sshd, or webmin [19:41] for web browser [19:41] htop, definately [19:41] angs: uh, that'd kill your box [19:41] olfway: it crashed and now doesn't work at all [19:42] iarfen: once at the download page, where it says "select version to download" choose "tar.gz for Linux" [19:42] angs: ps -au root [19:42] or htop -u root [19:42] allie83: and the standard refreshing page/close-open browser doesnt help? [19:42] nothing wrong with htop hahah [19:42] irc.azzurra.org [19:42] thank you [19:42] KM0201: I have it, now?? [19:43] iarfen: you downloaded the .tar.gz, right? [19:43] KM0201: yes!! [19:43] iarfen: go to your downloads folder [19:43] KM0201: I'm there [19:43] iarfen: right click the "install flashplayer .tar.gz" file, and choose "extract here" [19:43] why do we have 3 flood bots [19:43] olfway: no, i did install the add on for firefox flash-aid and that didn't seem to help [19:44] beandog: the first two were so busy they called in reenforcements [19:44] beandog: because they work in tandem. [19:44] heh [19:44] KM0201: Ok, now?? [19:44] iarfen: one of the files it extracted, is called libflashplayer.so right click that file, and choose copy [19:44] KM0201: ok :D [19:44] :-) [19:45] iarfen: now, go back to your home folder (/home/username) [19:45] allie83: try this: http://superuser.com/questions/256625/flash-player-crash-in-browsers-in-ubuntu [19:45] I'd purge flash and reinstall it fresh [19:45] @taek i want to uninstall ubuntu and i wanna install backtrrack [19:45] taek: unfortunately that doesn't work [19:45] can ny1 help me out [19:45] thanks olfway...i'll check it now :) [19:45] I just logged out and logged back in, and when I got back in, the graphics card and the soundcard was not detected, as in "removed" [19:46] iarfen: are you in your home directory? [19:46] i ha ve no problem with flash so i'm good [19:46] Yet another nail in the coffin for this fantastic distro. [19:46] KM0201: yes [19:46] abhisinghal: We don't support backtrack here, and there really isn't an uninstall process, you just format over Ubuntu's partitions. #backtrack-linux is their support channel. [19:46] taek: neither do i, but this isn't an uncommon issuje [19:46] iarfen: click "View", then "Show Hidden Files and Folders" [19:46] i wanna unistall ubuntu 'can ny1 hep me out [19:46] Ok anyone alive in here first off [19:46] abhisinghal: I just answered you. [19:46] KM0201: ok I do it [19:47] I'm a total n00b to linux and need a bit of advice [19:47] we all alive [19:47] iarfen: now, look through those folders, and you should see a folder called ".mozilla" [19:47] I am in the root mode, how can I turn my autherization to a normal user? (sudo -?) [19:47] KM0201: Yes, now what I do?? [19:47] Sharkfin: what's up [19:47] allie83: it basically comes down to what taek said: Purge flash and get a fresh install. Stick with the stabel version before the one you have, though. [19:47] iarfen: open .mozilla [19:47] iarfen: and inside that folder, create a folder called "plugins" [19:48] I need to start learning Linux for my IT degree. I managed to scrape together a rather old system. Specs are as follows: Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz single core, 512 MB RAM, will this be enough to run Ubuntu? [19:48] i have a quick question im trying to install bind9.8.1 from source but when i do make install i can't find bind9 executable [19:48] is named executable the same and bind9 ? [19:48] Sharkfin: it's low on ram for Ubuntu, you could run Lubuntu on it.. or.. RAM is cheap right now, max out the RAM [19:48] KM0201: Ok and now?? [19:48] Sharkfin, mayb... CLI sure and it should be enough for your studies, not sure about windows systems [19:48] sometimes when I log out, lightdm crashes/stops. how do I fix that? [19:49] iarfen: did you create the plugins folder? [19:49] olfway: better to just uninstall flash-aid too then you're saying? and this will work for 11.10? [19:49] I have no idea what the max is for this system [19:49] KM0201: yes!! [19:49] I cobbled it together [19:49] i have a quick question im trying to install bind9.8.1 from source but when i do make install i can't find bind9 executable . is named executable the same and bind9 ? [19:49] hello all [19:49] iarfen: now, paste the libflashplayer.so, inside there [19:49] Sharkfin: I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a pc that has 2.4 GHz and 1 Gb RAM [19:49] allie83: let me check my plugins, see what I'm using for Flash [19:49] GB [19:49] KM0201: OK i do it, now?? [19:49] it works fine [19:49] iarfen: close all instances of firefox [19:49] iarfen: then restart firefox, and see if you have flash [19:50] any expert on proftpd ? [19:50] Sharkfin: You might want to take a look at the following URL for more detail on your options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [19:50] KM0201: I have it!!! Ty!! :D [19:50] Thank you Boogs [19:50] iarfen: no prob [19:50] zarrorBoogs how to know where ubuntu is installed or on which partition it is [19:50] anyone can help on disabling synflood protection on 11.10? [19:50] how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? [19:51] i have a quick question im trying to install bind9.8.1 from source but when i do make install i can't find bind9 executable . is named executable the same and bind9 ? [19:51] allie83: I'm using "Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202" [19:51] sudo make [19:51] sudo make install [19:51] how the heck do I fix this removed soundcard and graphics card problem? why on earth did it even happen, just completely random, like every other problem I'm getting with this distro [19:51] zarrorboogs can u tel mee how to know on which partition ubuntu is installed [19:51] Hmmm I'll have to make a trip up to RePC to see if they have the RAM for this [19:51] abhisinghal: If you're within your Ubuntu install, typing 'mount' will tell you what partition your install is on. [19:51] allie83: get rid of what you had and try that, see if it's any better (up to you, though if you want to try tyhat or not) [19:52] ubunub, you should probably use the repositories if you're not experienced with building from source. if you insist, read the INSTALL file [19:52] abhisinghal: so, here it says '/dev/xvda on /' [19:52] what is the opposite of "sudo -s" ? how can I unroot myself? [19:52] angs: exit [19:52] angs: exit [19:52] io: i need to compile some options so i need to do it from source. thanks ill take a look at the file [19:52] thanks [19:53] just toght it would be simpple make && make install [19:53] angs: or Ctl-D [19:53] why are you using sudo -s anyway? [19:53] olfway: thanks for your help. genereal question now: do you find 11.10 to be a bit slow while preforming it's own functions ie: system tool, app, etc.? [19:53] everywhere I see sudo -s [19:53] ubuntu_, you ./configured, right? [19:53] angs: either exit, or Ctrl+D [19:53] thank you [19:53] allie83: 11.10 is just craptacular due to unity... no unity=no problems [19:53] io: of course with options i need [19:54] how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? [19:54] KM0201: is there any way to get a non-unity desktop?? [19:54] !gnome | allie83 [19:54] allie83: GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu up to 10.10 To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [19:54] iarfen: only thing w/ doing flash that way, is you won't receive automatic updates to flash... so just keep that in mind [19:54] io: everything appears to go smooth until i want to check for bind9 executable, [19:54] allie83: kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu several options [19:54] allie83: sometimes. It all depends on what I'm doing, but I'm using Xubuntu (for the sake of saving as much resource as possible for important things, instead of how it looks, you know?) [19:54] no error during install [19:55] xubuntu is just as bloated, if not more so, than KDE/Unity [19:55] hi again [19:55] KM0201, those are distributions, not desktop environments like unity - you mean gnome, xfce etc. [19:55] Hello I've been have a problem with entering data in to the database Here is the error I'm getting=>http://paste.ubuntu.com/913558/ [19:55] io: i'm aware of that... [19:55] !nounity | allie83 [19:55] allie83: 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] right...i just want to be able to use it...not stare at the coolness of it :P [19:55] is there a way to get the list of installed packages that occupy most space on the hard drive? [19:55] KM0201: are you tralking about the actualy environment being bloated, or just the OS itself? [19:55] ubunub, please read the INSTALL file and pastebin the errors that you're receiving [19:56] Olfway: xubuntu [19:56] KM0201, xubuntu is not an alternative to unity, neither is edubuntu nor kubuntu (these are alternatives to ubuntu itself) [19:56] Olfway: but, i've tried xfce on fedora and debian as well, and it's fairly craptacular also === p1l0t is now known as Guest61660 [19:56] io: whatever.. [19:56] io ok [19:56] If I run into issues, I will definately come back here [19:57] KM0201: KDE's bloated. Xfce, when done properly, works great. and then there's Windowmaker [19:57] * Olfway loves Windowmaker [19:57] Olfway: i'd hardly agree w/ that, but.. ok [19:57] Hi, i have a problem with Compiz process (ubuntu 11.10) i m fairly new to linux, but it s taking much CPU load [19:57] sharkfin: yes...these folks are great and have always helped me out! kudos admins :) [19:57] if you really want absolute speed and simplicity, lxde is where its at. [19:58] how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? [19:58] thanks for the info & ideas [19:58] never tried it.... but you cant really get simpler than Windowmaker, FvWM2, Twm, and Flux/Blackbox [19:59] Olfway: it's really all a matter of preference, thank God for choice === daz_ is now known as Guest74679 [19:59] KM0201: i know, right? [20:03] :-) === Mud is now known as Guest12007 [20:05] PCI bridge: PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cougar Point PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5..... can someone tell me what that is? [20:06] looks like a bridge network connection [20:07] i was hoping it was a 16x pci so i could put in a graphics card [20:08] i looked in my pc and i saw something that looked like an 16x pci but im not sure [20:08] funnyhaha: that is [20:08] funnyhaha: or check your motherboard specs to make sure. [20:08] but if its a recent mobo, it'd be odd not to have one [20:08] if it's PCIe, you're good [20:08] ~16x pci is PCIe [20:09] Hi :) [20:09] Hi [20:09] o/ [20:10] I'm a bit new to linux and I installed ubuntu on my lappy yesterday, are there many options for customization in gnome? [20:10] its an all in one comp gateway one zx6961-ub21p and i looked it up and it does not say it has a pci i think its because a card will not fit with the back on but i dont care about that [20:10] kirreen: gnome-look.org [20:11] kirreen: what version of ubuntu are you using?.. you may well be using unity [20:11] Yup, unity, 11.10 [20:11] yeah, *most* the stuff on gnome-look.org should work... since unity is a shell for gnome. [20:12] it's a good start to go there. [20:12] can't really do much wrong either. [20:12] KM0201: Thanks. Quick question: Can I change where I close windows :P? [20:12] but then again, you can. [20:12] kirreen: you mean from left to right side? [20:12] KM0201: Yeah. [20:12] kirreen: i believe you can.. hang on [20:12] kirreen: That's theme-specific actually. [20:13] Zaitzev: Oh, where do I customize my theme then? [20:13] go to gnome-look.org and look around [20:13] Zaitzev: Appearance in System settings? [20:13] kirreen: try following these instructions, it should work.. http://motersho.com/blog/index.php/2010/03/08/fix-minimizemaximizeclose-button-order-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [20:13] Zaitzev: it might be theme specific, but most of the time, you can move the buttons [20:13] Why mess with that when the themes do it for you? ;P [20:14] Zaitzev: So I can't just make small changes to a theme? [20:14] Zaitzev: because they don't always, thats why.. most of them plant the buttons on the left side now by default. [20:14] Zaitzev: To make it (a bit more) perfect. [20:14] kirreen: I suppose you can, I haven't delved into that part of the whole themeing and customization [20:15] Ok. [20:15] All I did was find an iconset, a font and a GTK-theme that worked for me [20:15] kirreen: you can edit themes (if they aren't copyrighted, most aren't)... however, it can be a lot of work [20:15] You can even if they are copyrighted, you just can't distribute them anywhere.. [20:16] KM0201: Well, even if they're copyrighted, don't I have the right to change them for non-promotional use? [20:16] KM0201: Zaitzev: Yeah :) [20:16] kirreen: no [20:16] kirreen: thats a big negative [20:16] if they are copyrighted, they are copyrighted.. (most are not, but i've saw a few that were) [20:17] it depends on the license. [20:17] if you are going to do that don't tell anyone [20:17] KM0201: Yeah, but can't I change them for private use? [20:17] kirreen: no, copyrighted, is copyrighted [20:17] copyrighted != no rights to copy [20:17] copyrights = what rights you have to copy [20:18] no right to copy or alter [20:18] Hello Community, I am having trouble with my Ubuntu Software Center.

My Ubuntu Software Center does not work. [20:23] No, I can acces terminal [20:23] am new to ubuntu and i have learned alt+f2 [20:23] boson12: How does it not work?

[20:23] it j ust worked for me kirreen [20:24] taek: sudo: gconf-editor: command not found [20:24] andrunix: it means that $(uname -r) will be replaced with the output of uname -r, eg. for me 'apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-3.2.0-21-generic' <---- [20:24] then you dn't hve it installesd [20:24] and so my problem is that there is not a module that matches the numbers that uname -r returns.

[20:35] taek: Then? [20:35] Kirreen: how can i move the buttons to right? === billca42__ is now known as group [20:35] change button _layout to /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [20:35] whoops [20:35] That's what I wanna kniow ibm :) === group is now known as billca42 [20:36] panset: obvious question: does your BIOS support booting from USB? [20:36] taek: any idea? [20:36] button_layout to menu:minimize,maximize,close [20:36] Olfway: yes, I have booted from usb device many times [20:37] taek: And then? [20:37] Olfway: In fact I can see three partitions showing up when I do 'ls -l' in grub command mode [20:37] cl ose [20:37] may have to logout/login to see the c hanges [20:37] Olfway: but for some reason it doesn not display the other partiions on this ext hdd [20:37] Didn't change anything. [20:37] ok, brb [20:37] kk [20:37] andrunix: are you following the commands from a wiki page? [20:38] panset: well, whats your boot-up process when you're trying to boot from that external drive? [20:38] andrunix: specifically https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules ? [20:38] wylde: I was trying what was here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1726575.html [20:39] excuse my typing, i am using a micro keyboard and the spacebar gets stuck haha [20:39] taek: Didn't work :( [20:39] Olfway: I used grub customiser to add the bott entry of os in ext hdd, so I boot from internal hdd itself, and selcect the menu entry of ext hdd os [20:39] andrunix: so you added the ppa and updated before attempting to install? [20:39] question, does anyone know exactly how big the ubuntu repo is? as in how much space would it take to be a local mirror? [20:39] wylde: yes, I did [20:39] weird, what desktop enviorement are you using? [20:40] Default for ubuntu, Gnome i guess. [20:40] Unity [20:40] hi any graphical application like gnome-search-tool that is able to search for multiple files and substitute in all of them strings [20:40] not sre that works on unity [20:40] What are you using? [20:40] I know it works in gnome, gnome classic [20:40] I am using [20:40] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with gnome 2.x [20:41] Ok. [20:41] andrunix: gah, door. I'll be back. Maybe browse that ppa in the meantime? ... [20:41] panset: why do that when just simply using your bios boot dev menu could accomplish the same thinh? [20:41] wylde: thanks :) [20:41] I cant stand unity, i will never use it haha [20:41] :) [20:42] i'll switch to fedora before ever using unity again [20:42] Olfway: The grub is installed in internal hdd, so I have to boot from internal hdd only. [20:42] try xubuntu taek [20:42] or linux mint [20:42] Is fedora any good? What DE does it use? [20:42] KDE [20:42] and fedora blowas [20:43] blows* [20:43] As in good :P?* [20:43] fedora uses gnome3/shell by default [20:43] panset: so, your external drive doesnt have a boot flag? [20:43] !nounity [20:43] 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 [20:44] Olfway: Yes it indeed has, the os is in sdb3. So the problem is, in grub command mode, the 'ls -l' command does not list this particular partition, it only lists the first one [20:44] fedora is the redheaded step child of the linux community [20:44] hrm [20:45] Olfway: Whereas their are total of 7 parittions in this ext hdd [20:47] I'm connecting my Sansa Fuze to ubuntu 11.10 but not seeing anything mount.

[20:54] hahaha\ [20:55] taek of course I mean IRC :-) [20:55] Okay please don't tell anything sucks : / [20:55] anyhow, you need to goto t he adobe website with the browser to get the plugin [20:56] I tried and with the APT package [20:56] and it said no such web page [20:56] ..... [20:56] you have to go to the website with the browser, apt wont h ave it [20:57] hi, installed ubuntu 12.04 beta2. i have dual screen and dock is showing on the left side of both screens. why i scroll from monitor to another my mouse gets "stuck" on the dock for a while [20:57] how can i remove the dock in the middle and just have it on the left side of the left monitor [20:57] pinkponyluv: what dock are you referring to? The unity launcher? [20:58] yeah, that one [20:58] taek: Please stop giving unhelpful comments and misinformation. [20:58] is there a setting panel for it. didn't have this problem with 11.10 [20:58] hellp [20:58] hello [20:58] ah, gotta check compizconfig [20:59] pinkponyluv, the launcher now appears on both the monitor for you [20:59] sorry to ask this, but is the ubuntu.com frontpage deliberately pointing to TechnicalOverview/Beta1 instead of /Beta2 since ~ 10+ hours? === jsjgruber-x-p__ is now known as jsjgruber-x-p [20:59] yeah [20:59] !pm | Sl3p1n [20:59] Sl3p1n: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[21:00] no wait! [21:00] krnekhelesh, you're correct :-) [21:00] i have a little netbook i want to use as router (running xubuntu). i have internet on eth0 and wlan0 is an adhoc network for others to connect. how do i share my connection so everyone can connect via wlan? [21:01] Hello. Has someone an idea how I could instruct "kile" to use only the $PATH-Variable for searching binaries when compiling with e.g. pdflatex? Actually (Ubuntu, Natt) it scans for /usr/lib/kde4/pdflatex and /usr/bin/pdflatex first before processing the $PATH-variable. This behaviour is different to kiles own systemcheck-function, where programs are preferred as expected by PATH-Variable. [21:01] pinkponyluv: hope this solves your problem :) [21:02] Can't someone help me? [21:02] Sl3p1n: You might try #opera [21:02] Jordan_U, Thank u! [21:02] Sl3p1n: You're welcome. [21:02] hi guys... [21:02] here's the deal: [21:02] i mean how do i configure the routes? [21:03] anyone know what this is in dmesg? [21:03] init: modemmanager respawning too fast, stopped [21:04] how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? [21:04] i have this printer connected to a parallel port in my note... and i have a good driver for it and everything else... but ubuntu simply doesn't recognize the printer connected to the parallel port from time to time... i mean... it works, but sometimes it just doesn't... any tip? [21:05] helpme: to my knowledge, proftpd is only an ftp server, not an sftp server. openssh is an sftp server. [21:05] zykotick9: that's right. some ftp daemons can do FTP over SSL though === Mud is now known as Guest22288 [21:05] which is still more complex than SSH [21:05] beandog: that's not called sftp is it? question, i'm not sure. [21:06] FTP in general is a mess [21:06] ftp must die! [21:06] SFTP is ssh, yah [21:06] stfp is a secure ftp server [21:06] anyone? [21:06] beandog: It's not. [21:06] :P [21:08] sftp uses ssh [21:09] i have this printer connected to a parallel port in my note... and i have a good driver for it and everything else... but ubuntu simply doesn't recognize the printer connected to the parallel port from time to time (a it's not rare... it's after every 3, 4 printings) [21:09] <__red__> Is there a configuration setting that I can set to automatically install the -dev version of everything I install? [21:09] <__red__> ryzzan: check dmesg -=- see if you see anything in there indicating a problemw ith your hardware [21:10] __red__: No, there isnt. [21:10] bekks: huh? [21:10] <__red__> bekks: So, how do I put in a feature request? :-) [21:10] __red__, it works perfectly under windows... :( [21:11] beandog: you cannot connect to SFTP using scp e.g. ;) [21:11] Hi all, ?Has anyone tried to install the PSPSDK on ubuntu? [21:11] Don 't know why I am being called a liar, but i just installed flash for opera.. [21:11] using the browser. [21:12] huh. I just realized I didn't even have flash installed. HTML5 ftw. [21:12] I'm trying to add libwww with apt-get but for some reason I can't. I know i've done it with earlier releases, but for some reason I can't find libwww with apt-cache search. anyone have it installed? [21:12] Thanks Jordan_U for calling me a liar [21:13] saliak: libwww-perl [21:13] Can I see a screenshot? [21:13] Screenshot of what? === p1l0t is now known as Guest59953 [21:14] beandog: hrm. i already have that installed. i'm compiling a c++ program with xmlrpc and it can't find the libwww libraries [21:14] saliak: oh that [21:14] saliak: er, wait, t hat should cover it [21:14] taek: I didn't say that you were a liar, but flashplugin-installer is definitely a package in the default repositories and thus apt-get will "have it". [21:14] taek: Your screen [21:14] saliak: might just need libperl-dev [21:15] I don't see a dev package just for libwww [21:15] beandog: ok, trying that [21:15] Midasx: screen shot of what specifically === n00b4lyfe is now known as Tasmania [21:15] Jordan_U: False, you have to enable repos [21:15] at least this did that when i went to the url [21:15] apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner [21:15] beandog: boo, nope, didn't do it [21:15] saliak: what are you installing? [21:16] beandog: a program i wrote (which makes this that much funnier). i have another ubuntu system that runs it just fine, however, for some reason I can't compile it on this system [21:16] saliak: can you pastebin error for me? [21:17] taek: "adobe-flashplugin" and "flashplugin-installer" are different packages which both will install Adobe Flash. "flashplugin-installer" is in multiverse, which is enabled by default. [21:17] well then there you go. [21:17] the website invokes the command [21:17] beandog: for sure, check it http://pastebin.com/8KyvtCes [21:17] so did ubuntu ever get it together or not? [21:17] saliak: oh thats something else [21:17] natalie__`: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [21:17] beandog: i cut off the last part where it complains about all the functions it can't find (because they're in the missing libraries) [21:18] beandog: really? i can't find the libraries that it's referencing on my system [21:18] i cant put read and write permission to a folder, for a reason [21:18] saliak: libxml2-dev [21:18] taek: Your desktop [21:18] Jordan_U, is that a support question? [21:18] hello. i've clicked the update to the latest ubuntu in the upgrade manager and now the update is stalling trying to download something from sourceforge. is there any way to fix it? [21:19] it's near the end, and it's trying to download some ttf fonts [21:19] natalie__`: What you asked is not a support question, no. [21:19] Jordan_U, yes it was [21:19] Midasx: all you're gona see is irssi maximized [21:19] saliak: er, that's not right ... but try that anyway :D [21:19] beandog: hrm, no, still missing [21:20] HI all, i have this pesky problem with udevd. it shows a lot of messages on the screen which makes the boot last ages. i tried setting udev_log to err but still messsages ... [21:20] saliak: have you tried 'apt-get build-dep '? === scarecrow_ is now known as Mormaugus [21:20] is there a way to see how much bandwidth devices on a network are consuming? [21:21] in a GUI? [21:21] wylde : no, didn't know about that. the problem is that i didn't install xmlrpc from apt, so it probably wont' work, eh? [21:21] wrektjet, iftop [21:21] natalie__`: The question of Ubuntu having "gotten it together" is far too subjective for this channel. You might try #ubuntu-offtopic or if you're having a specific problem with Ubuntu, please ask about that and we can try to help you. [21:21] saliak: libwww-curl-perl ? I'm starting to guess at this point. -_- [21:21] Jordan_U, please leave me alone [21:22] saliak: it likely would since it looks at the deps of the package...so I "think" it should work anyway. [21:22] beandog: heh, no dice... do you have those missing libraries on your system? [21:22] !guidelines | natalie__` [21:22] natalie__`: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [21:22] wylde : ok, will try [21:22] saliak: no, thats why I'm guessing. [21:22] blabla thnx perfect done and done [21:22] saliak: oh wait, do you have them on the other one? [21:22] is there a log file from aptitude? where is it? [21:22] beandog: i do, unfortunately, that box is in another state :( [21:22] saliak: derp [21:22] beandog : w/out network access, etc. [21:23] please hold. [21:23] test connection [21:23] any one here has already install his own netflex "open source apps" [21:23] can anyone tell me when the desktop version of 10.04 reaches EOL? I seem to have different dates from different sources ._. [21:24] saliak: pretty sure it's part of xmlrpc [21:24] beandog : yeah, i guess I can just try adding that package and see if it comes with [21:24] saliak: libxmlrpc-c3-dev and libxmlrpc-c3-0 [21:25] saliak: core ones as well, may be required [21:25] beandog: shoot, already had them installed [21:26] hi, im thinking about install ubuntu, after 2 years i worked - Sabayon gnome 2, and Gnome 3 total sux, and what enviroment should i install? i want to have minimalize button, not as in ubuntu 3 ;/ xfce? [21:26] d3v, take a look at lubuntu or xubuntu [21:26] saliak: do you want a list of general packages I install for development? That may / may not help. [21:27] ciao [21:27] beandog: sure, i guess it can't hurt. i use this vm for development, so I think i've probably got most of the usual ones [21:27] xubuntu is xfce? and lubuntu is what? i hear it first time [21:27] saliak: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/575767/ [21:27] d3v: LXDE [21:27] saliak: aptitude -y install `cat foo` === dj is now known as Guest4718 [21:28] !list [21:28] luas6311: No warez here!

I've got the 'd-i mirror/protocol, countries, country, http/hostname http/directory, http/mirror set but it still tries for the us.archive... one [22:03] Jordan_U, same [22:03] ubuntu_: ok, so it's getting through the bios checks, and starts loading the OS. Hmmm. You're on a live cd right now? [22:03] Jordan_U, also the same if I start another shell [22:03] wylde, yes. [22:03] wylde, it starts loading but then stops and starts over. [22:04] ubuntu_: you should be able to mount the computers drive and look in (the root of the systems drive) /var/log/boot.log and other log files to find a clue as to what is happeneing [22:04] wylde, bash: /var/log/boot.log: Permission denied [22:05] alesan: sudo apt-get remove command-not-found-data [22:05] ubuntu_: yep, something is having a fatal error during boot... you'll probably have to open with something like gksu gedit /var/log/boot.log [22:06] Jordan_U, better: now when the comman is not found, nothing happens [22:06] ideally it would say: command not found [22:06] ubuntu_: make sure you're opening the one from the systems HD not the live systems boot.log [22:06] but nothing is always better thant the annoying suggestions, as if I were stupid [22:06] alesan: If you open a new shell it will. [22:06] wylde, what??? [22:07] ubuntu_: one other question, did you use the same installation disk/usb on all 3 computers? [22:07] #uclinux [22:07] wylde, i use two diff ones. [22:07] Jordan_U, do you know how to fix that in open shells? I have 14 at this time, each one with different things [22:07] ubuntu_: I was saying to mount the computer's HD in the live system and get the /var/log/boot.log from there.

If the image fails you'll have to download another copy. Another important thing is to burn at a very slow speed if you're using optical media (cd-r/dvd-r) [22:10] alesan: unset command_not_found_handle [22:10] wylde, how do i check that?

I was wondering if someone might be able to help me with a boot problem? [22:20] ubuntu_: that's is what I mean, you need to be in the directory on your HARDDRIVE not the live cd you're running on. Then run md5sum ubuntu-something.iso [22:21] wylde, this is to difficult for me. i will just loose all my info and instalit again.

Has someone an idea how I could instruct "kile" to use only the $PATH-Variable for searching binaries when compiling with e.g. pdflatex? Actually (Ubuntu, Natt) it scans for /usr/lib/kde4/pdflatex and /usr/bin/pdflatex first before processing the $PATH-variable. This behaviour is different to kiles own systemcheck-function, where programs are preferred as expected by PATH-Variable. [22:47] I've got a preseed question.

[23:33] neo31, i;m running precise and installing calibre install python-cssutils [23:34] bbl === dmogle is now known as Guest12256 [23:35] dlentz it worked [23:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/913856/ [23:36] now calibre can convert PDF files to epub [23:38] dlentz, lets try it... if i just dl the deb package it has like 100 dependencys to meet === david is now known as Guest91075 [23:40] hey guys [23:40] i'm trying to install a package with aptitude [23:40] but i keep getting this error [23:40] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [23:40] php5-fpm: PreDepends: dpkg (>= 1.15.7.2) but 1.15.5.6ubuntu4.5 is to be installed [23:40] Edler: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:40] What should i do ? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:43] edler php5-fpm does not exist in lucid. [23:44] i'm on 10.04LTS [23:44] is that lucid ? [23:44] Edler: yes. [23:44] okay [23:44] well how can i get php-fpm working on it then [23:45] Edler: compile from source since the .deb or ppa you're trying to use wants a higher version of dpkg. [23:45] okay [23:45] Edler: just my guess. i could be wrong. [23:45] any tutorial where i can do that ? [23:46] ah i'll just download and figure it out [23:46] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware [23:46] also [23:46] why is php 5.3.2 the latest in lucid [23:47] is there any way to install later other than compiling from source ? [23:48] Edler, which version would you like? [23:48] there are unofficial, precompiled repos out there [23:48] 3.3 or later [23:48] well monotoko_ the problem is [23:49] ... 3.3? [23:49] when you start putting unofficial packages [23:49] then all your packages must become unofficial [23:49] ohh 5.3.3 [23:49] i've tried that in the past [23:49] and official packages don't recognize the unofficial ones :S [23:49] Edler, not really... there's special ways to ensure that doesn't happen [23:50] Edler, you just add the packages you want to the end of the deb line [23:50] well [23:50] all i'm really trying to accomplish [23:50] i was using spawn-fcgi for php [23:50] and it was causing problems [23:50] so i want ot install php-fpm [23:50] Is there a sudo keepalive script anywhere? [23:51] any tutorial to install php 5.4 on ubuntu 10.04 ? [23:51] Edler, ahh okay! this would install php 5.4 on nattydeb http://apt.damz.org/ubuntu natty php54 [23:51] ah [23:51] monotoko_ [23:51] once i do that [23:51] what happens with my current apt-get php5 which is 5.3.2 ? [23:51] just add it to your sources.list, *with* the php54 on the end [23:51] does it get overwritten ? [23:52] monotoko_ remember i'm on lucid [23:52] Edler, remove php5 first: apt-get remove --purge php5 [23:52] it does, except for the config file === rv is now known as Guest96727 [23:52] monotoko_ would that disrupt anything else ? such as added php modules ? [23:53] Hello guys, i followed this recipe to install hdjmod driver. everything went good, but synaptic doesn't shows the driver installed. Is there anyway to make dkms build a deb package? I dual boot avlinux and ubuntu, this is reffering to avlinux, so i'll be waiting if someone could offer some help and look here. Thanks. http://pastebin.com/ufYE1W9D [23:53] wolfmitchell, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudoTimeout [23:54] Edler, we can try just upgrading it [23:54] if you would rather [23:55] that's the latest version [23:55] in the official repo [23:55] Edler, I mean add the new repo, then do an upgrade [23:55] what's the syntax to add it with "php54" in the end [23:55] and should it work on lucid ? [23:55] monotoko_: that could break the entire system. [23:56] i certainly don't want to break it :P [23:56] bastidrazor, okay, should he remove PHP first then? [23:56] then back it up first. ;) [23:56] ^_^ === monotoko_ is now known as Monotoko [23:57] Monotoko: sticking with whats in the distro version repo is recommended. going outside that can have negative effects. [23:57] bastidrazor, I upgraded to 5.4 a while ago... but I did it on a clean system [23:57] how I can set SFTP on proftpd with virtual users auth? [23:58] I do PHP programming as a job... so I need the latest and greatest usually [23:58] I'm also still on Lucid because of Gnome 2 [23:58] Hey all, 11.10 here. just what to know what i need to do to make grub boot into windows by default [23:59] gadien, download the Startup Manager from the Ubuntu Software Center [23:59] you should then be able to start it from the dash, hit the "Default Operating System" dropdown and choose Windows [23:59] @Monotoko Thanks man, appreciated
