It was replaced by the sound menu. And it uses tray system, which is not used by default anymore (only a few select apps that need it). [01:45] sound menu ...

[02:19] Onixs: should be fine with stock..though you can edit it nd recompile if you wish [02:19] depends more on the rest of your hw [02:19] wylde: hmm ok does it do it with things open full screen and what graphics card [02:19] Ok then will be reading on how to maximize the kernel on an ol P4 . Thanks alot dude :D [02:20] Onixs: if you want to maximize stuff look at the lfs docs give you a good starting spot [02:21] OH, Thanks! [02:21] celthunder: only when coming back up from being idle. That was before I turned off all the powersave features. I'm hoping that will stop it but just in case I'm browsing her logs(remotely) to try and find the culprit. [02:21] celthunder: and looking for options if the problem continues after the changes I made. [02:21] wylde: probably was the powersave stuff...

(An example is Eclipse) [07:17] Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome [07:18] Shappy, don't have it in front of me... but does right click give you options? [07:18] (ie. on the top bar) [07:20] On the top bar right click only let's me "Add Panel..." where I can select from a bunch of already installed stuff. I want to add Eclipse to the panel like I do with an already installed app by going into Applications >[path to app like Games] > right click on app > Add this launcher to panel === shadowh511_ is now known as shadowh511 [07:22] It seems I would have to add my application to the Applications menu first. How would I do this?

[08:03] go ahead, ask your question [08:04] I have about 700GB HDD [08:04] I want to start some numerical modeling under linux [08:05] would you suggest me a good partition sizing? [08:05] swap? === konakuka is now known as omniloquent [08:05] root? [08:06] usr-local? [08:06] temp? [08:06] which of them is necessary and which is not? [08:06] thank you [08:07] !partition| oceanid start here [08:07] oceanid start here: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [08:08] I saw that [08:08] I am installing 10.04 right now and use it to partitioning [08:09] so, I thought that someone can suggest me to create partitions better === omniloquent is now known as oligophrenic [08:09] I have create a 2 GB swap [08:10] guys sorry for bugging you, but i have a slight problem on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 - changed motherboard + cpu and i'm now experiencing hard lockups upon booting (ie: nothing works, not even the hardware reset button) [08:10] and I am wondering if a 200 GB root and 500GB home will good or it is better to set a 10GB usr/local too [08:11] oceanid: tbh 200 GB / sounds rather large ... got a special need for it? [08:11] 200 GB root? [08:12] hardware reset button not working, sounds like theres a problem with the motherboard [08:12] caz_au: memtest worked flawlessly for 8+ hours [08:12] caz_au: something b0rks it .. cpu is i5-2320, mobo is z68 [08:13] caz_au: if i go recovery mode i can work rather normally (start up networking, start up bind) as long as i don't resume booting .... [08:13] tried kernels from 2.6.38 over 3.0.0-17 to 3.2.0 ... same thing on all of them [08:13] youve changed a lot of hardware, im no expert but if i change that much hardware i usually reinstall completly. [08:14] !pm| oceanid [08:14] oceanid: 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. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [08:15] ok [08:15] do you think that 200GB is not suitable for root? [08:15] caz_au: well. technically just the cpu+mobo are changed. the rest is the same. (okay NIC changed but that's no biggy). / is LUKS encrypted and mounted from an md array ... but everything works flawlessly up until some normal services are starting up. suspecting udevd, but can't find anything concrete. and in regards to reinstalls ... it's linux, not windows ^ [08:16] oceanid: you need to tell us more what you want to run on your box. if it's going to be a desktop, then 200 GB / is way too large. [08:16] oceanidZ: 20 to 25 GIB for /root is enough [08:16] my old system had 115 GB and it is already full [08:16] or less, I have 15 GB root [08:16] why is it you can't install pcsx and zsnes at the same time they both run but you can't have both at same time [08:17] oceanid: did you have a separate /home partition though? [08:17] no === Guest49041 is now known as Gurty [08:17] oceanid: well, that explains it. your user data was filling up /. you planning to use it as a desktop? [08:17] on my old system I had a 115 root, 190 mirror and 2 swap [08:17] oceanid: 190 mirror of what? [08:18] 2 swap? [08:18] root and mirror are about 90% used [08:18] dcy: yeah but if i took my harddrive out and took it to anther pc i wouldnt exactly expect it to run flawlessly. Try booting a live cd and see if it runs then. if it does i say just reinstall. Its easy enough to backup packages aswell saving the download. [08:18] 2GB swap [08:18] yes I have a ci7 desktop [08:19] caz_au: frankly. i would expect it to boot up normally... hoped for a dev of sorts to point my nose in the right direction... tried the old noacpi, noapic, nolapic spiel but without luck ... and yes. barring a platform restriction (x86 vs x86_64 or similar) you can actually change hard drives without too much of a hassle. [08:20] I had created a partition named mirror so that install some special program on it [08:20] How do give the input text as transliterated another Language from English?, and use a shortcut key?\ [08:20] oceanid: see. you need to tell us what you're planning to use your system for so we can give you reasonable advice. [08:21] ok === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [08:21] I want to run a research computational model on my system. [08:21] oceanid: the sure thing is that you can't split /root's rights [08:22] :-D [08:22] :) [08:22] hm [08:22] oceanid: reasonable. can you expect how much space this model will use and do you know where you wish to install it? [08:23] it will solve some equations on an extended grid and will create some output file with size larger than 20GB [08:23] and it'll be installed in .. which directory? [08:24] how do i reflash my bios in the laptop [08:24] qub: hello [08:24] as I told you, on my old pc, I had installed in a directory named "model" in my mirror partition [08:24] if you don't plan to fill up your /home and will be using the box for a while do a 300G /home, pick a reasonable swap size and stick the rest for / - if you'll be using it mostly for the computations [08:25] and I installed all dependency packages on a directory named OPT in mirror partition [08:25] well mate - you answered it for yourself here [08:26] either do a 25 G /, 150 G /opt and the rest for /home + swap. or just forget everything and make a small swap and put the rest into / .... not the best way, but if you can't decide on a partitioning scheme would work out best for you. [08:27] so noone with an idea why a i5 sandy bridge + z68 + radeon hd would cause a hard lockup after fsck? :D === fwaechter is now known as Guest14281 === Monotoko is now known as Guest61624 [08:29] sacarlson: hi [08:29] MonkeyDust: hi [08:29] ok [08:29] so, what you think about create a /usr/local? [08:30] oceanid: well unless you have a need you haven't told us about i don't see a point in it. [08:31] how do i reflash the bios [08:31] thank you dcy [08:31] thunder1212: what motherboard, what os? [08:31] oceanid: you're welcome [08:32] bye and have good time dcy [08:32] bb and enjoy your linux :) [08:33] dcy: don't know how to check.. [08:34] dcy:you sure have "firmware-radeon"? [08:34] gnugr: removed it cause i thought it was causing the mess. [08:34] gnugr: think i should add it? [08:34] thunder: dmidecode, lshw? [08:34] i use the same [08:35] dcy: how to check ?? [08:35] i do have "firmware-radeon" and firmware-ralink" [08:36] dcy:check it with "update-inramfs -u" [08:36] err. [08:36] "update-initramfs -u" [08:36] sacarlson: how do i check which motherboard, os i am runnning [08:37] gnugr: good hint. will try [08:37] dear dcy, I have a dual boot system (win7 - ubuntu) how can I have a safe install so that by repairing one of them, other one can easily load? [08:38] dcy:do you use "apt-file"? [08:38] Thunder1212: OS = Operating system... Windows, Ubuntu (linux) etc... [08:38] oceanid: i usually have a small linux virtual box handy that i can boot up on a windows box ... (but have several pcs) [08:38] thunder1212: apt-get install lshw ... lshw and look for 'motherboard' [08:39] gnugr: just started the network and will grab firmware-radeon to see if it changes anything :) [08:39] hey can someone give me a md5 checksum of 3.0.0-16-generic this kernel [08:39] on a 32bit system [08:40] dcy: to get all list of firmware update your "apt-file" and then do "apt-file --package-only search /lib/firmware" [08:40] so having a /boot is not a solution for such problem? [08:40] please someone running that kernel give me a checksum its important [08:41] boot will just host the kernels + initrd + system maps ... not meant for rescue,but could be 'ab'used for that :) [08:41] skraps, dd7fac8be2fb13eb0712fb805f42e403 [08:41] thanx greentooth [08:42] kk [08:42] !tab| skraps [08:42] skraps: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[11:27] Xtreme try menu.cfg [11:27] menu.lst is generated by update-grub [11:27] Xtreme: grub2 uses grub.cfg which you shouldn't edit directly [11:27] and since the new grub it's grub.cfgI think [11:27] MonkeyDust, I am trying to figure out where the files were put when I installed openJDK from the repos. [11:27] so how can i edit it?> [11:27] Xtreme: you are ment to edit the files in /etc/grub.d/ [11:27] Hi, using oneiric how can I check where the files were put, after installing a package ? [11:27] !grub2 | Xtreme [11:27] Xtreme: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[11:28] Xtreme: also some things are in /etc/default/grub [11:28] Unknown0BC try locate openjdk [11:28] Unknown0BC: dpkg --listfiles [11:28] found the file, grub.bf [11:28] grub.cfg [11:29] thanks, looking the link u gave :) [11:29] Rienzilla, I think that was what I am looking for will try now, thanks. [11:29] Xtreme: that is generated from the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ by issuing update-grub [11:29] Unknown0BC: btw, it only works if the package is actually installed iirc [11:31] auronandace: okay, so look like i was doing wrong thing [11:31] so how can i change my boot menu [11:31] i did it in opensuse 2 years ago [11:32] hi [11:32] but looks like a lot is changed since then [11:32] if "proftpd -l" does not show "mod_tls.c", can i be sure that tls not working? i've just installed it in ubuntu with apt-get install proftpd-basic [11:32] Xtreme: what do you want to change in the boot menu? [11:32] subz3r0: Just try logging in enforcing TLS. [11:32] 1: default boot OS [11:32] 2: timeout [11:33] two things [11:33] Xtreme: both are done in /etc/default/grub [11:33] Xtreme: that file is rather straightforward [11:34] bekks, its not configured completely. just want to make sure that its working before i even start to config the rest... [11:34] Xtreme: after you edit that do update-grub (or grub-update, i never remember which way around it is) [11:34] subz3r0: Testing a login is part of configuring it ;) [11:35] What do I get if I load "Basic Ubuntu server" in Tasksel? [11:35] auronandace: found it.. changed timeout from 10 to 3, but what about default OS.. how will i know which number is for windows?? coz my sister uses windows, and i need to learn linux :) [11:35] bekks, uhm well. i just followed the tutorial of proftpd.de. there is mentioned to test it before even start the config. thats why im asking [11:36] in old grub, the list was at bottom [11:36] Xtreme: the number should correspond to the order they are listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg [11:38] hello there [11:38] auronandace: changed default to 4.. 0 is linux.. now doing update-grub [11:38] What kind of server do I get if I select "Basic Ubuntu server" in Tasksel?

[11:44] dd?? [11:44] clonezilla, dd [11:44] sounds like dd [11:44] can i run dd if i am usinf the system??? or have i to do it from live cd??? [11:44] using [11:45] would cause some error if i backup the root partition while i am using it?? [11:45] well [11:45] if your root filesystem is on lvm, you can make a snapshot [11:46] and dd that [11:46] ext4 [11:46] TheZizzu: Doesnt make sense to dd a running system since the image will be inconsistent. [11:46] so i have to use live cd?? [11:46] yeah exactly. The best way imo would be to boot from live cd and make a tar archive [11:47] TheZizzu: Yes. [11:47] never mind, nobody knows. [11:47] tar arhive of image i take with dd? [11:47] janek [11:48] no, just a tar of the filesystem you want to back up0 [11:48] a tar is much easier to rtestore than a disk image [11:48] ah tar of all files?? [11:48] Yes. [11:48] yeah [11:48] As root user, since you cant backup all files otherwise. [11:49] boot from live cd, mount your filesystem somewhere, run tar -c -f mybackup.tar /mountpoint [11:49] optionally add compression options [11:50] if your machine consists of multiple partitions/volumes instead of one big one, make sure to mount those too if you want them backed up [11:51] ok thank you bye [11:56] buongiorno [11:57] helloooo [11:57] :) [12:01] hi [12:01] Hi!

[12:30] schnuffle: for example from /dev/ttyUSB1 to /dev/ttyUSB0? [12:31] If I make a difference to /etc/security/limits.conf do I need to re-log-in for the changes to take effect?

[13:13] schnuffle: 192.168.1.3 is not a public IP is just my LAN address [13:14] alexita ifconfig shows the local ip address, not the public [13:14] how do you install .run packages properly? [13:14] ok [13:14] alexita: no,just ask the correct queston. Your router should always get a public IP [13:14] MonkeyDust: how can i check if i have a public IP address ? thanks [13:14] ChaoticanarchyX: sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 [13:14] alexita www.whatismyip.com shows your public address [13:14] alexita: Just login into your router,normally there'sa status panel that show the publicIP [13:15] ok [13:15] schnuffle: right [13:15] alexita: and your router should normally always get a public IP [13:15] Please help.

[13:19] I fixed my problem by rebooting [13:19] schnuffle: ok.. let's try [13:20] biggens1: stop talking about rebooting please; it's not relevant to anything being asked at the moment [13:20] ChaoticanarchyX: sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/Oneric [13:20] sry [13:20] ChaoticanarchyX: sudo sh amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneric [13:21] ok i am in shame [13:21] can anyone help me? [13:21] schnuffle: no.. didn't worked [13:21] gulzar: please use your distribution's channel for support. chmod 755 /home; chown root: /home; will likely get you to a usable state, but your distro may have different defaults. Also, I'd advise you to test things in a virtualizer like vbox so you don't have to worry about breaking your main install [13:21] i [13:21] k [13:22] jrib: Ok.. [13:22] says it cant install it.

[14:10] scorpion19: the printer is shared by one of the computers. it does not need its own IP [14:10] mnetok im still in the GNU nano, trying to save whatever curiousx told me to do but it wont let me save it, it keeps sayin theres a writing error and that the directory doesnt exsist [14:10] have question about compiling under ubuntu. I can't run app, built under 11.10 in 12.04. How to make it "universal"? Linux is POSIX compatible afaik [14:10] scorpion19:192.168.1.7 [14:10] ChaoticanarchyX: close the terminal window without saving. [14:11] so which options do i have during the haddisc controlle? [14:11] mnetok ok done [14:11] mnetok I've started it again [14:11] ChaoticanarchyX: "lsmod | grep adeon" [14:11] ChaoticanarchyX: pastebin that output [14:12] mnetok done [14:12] ChaoticanarchyX: OK, what's the URL? [14:13] mnetok URL? none came up if thats what it was supposed to do [14:13] ChaoticanarchyX: "lsmod | grep adeon" [14:13] ChaoticanarchyX: pastebin that output [14:13] ChaoticanarchyX: then give me the URL to the pastebin you posted. [14:13] lsmod | grep adeon | pastebinit -a ChaoticanarchyX -b http://paste.ubuntu.com =P [14:14] mnetok opps sorry i type the command wrong [14:14] abel: as i told you a i got to restart my pc, but im will be back you should read this and try it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [14:14] abel: see you later! [14:14] abel: but im coming back, seriusly... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [14:16] mnetok gimmie a sec installing the pastebin now [14:17] so which options do i have during the haddisc controlle? [14:17] mnetok ok i did the pastebin [14:17] ChaoticanarchyX: OK. URL? [14:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/918891/ [14:19] ChaoticanarchyX: OK, so right now you are using the Free "radeon" driver for your AMD graphics. i do the same. which apps are not working correctly? [14:21] mnetok fusion is one of them, certain games trying to run in wine that ran with an Nvidia 64 mb card that stopped working when i put this card and another 32 mb ATI video card in [14:21] ChaoticanarchyX: the "radeon" driver does not have support for 3D acceleration. [14:22] mnetok i get that but fusion is an emulator for sega [14:22] ChaoticanarchyX: so ... your choice. games and such, or a stable system. because installing that proprietary AMD driver is not without issues of its own. [14:22] ChaoticanarchyX: my guess is that Fusion uses OpenGL [14:22] mnetok i dont doubt it has bugs of it own, but even youtube videos dont even play/show up right [14:23] ChaoticanarchyX: so you are prepared to manually compile and re-install that driver every time you see that you are getting a kernel update? [14:24] hi [14:24] propietary works very well now with 12.3 and the beta 12.4 have some important improvenments i don't remember but ill search it [14:24] mnetok like if i try to watch a video on youtube in full screen mode it gets laggy and in video in general i get that "tearing" effect. Sir im ready to go all in for linux. I was on windows for 10 years and im ready to jump into a better ship. [14:24] ChaoticanarchyX: http://youtube.com/html5 [14:25] ChaoticanarchyX: that is not because of the video driver. it's because of Adobe's utter crap Linux Flash plugin. === Taftse is now known as Taftse|NL [14:25] mnetok my firefox is up to date [14:25] curiousx: uhhhh .... 12.3? [14:25] ChaoticanarchyX: it does not matter. [14:26] ChaoticanarchyX: the Flash plugin for Linux is a known resource hog. [14:26] mnetok so reinstall it? [14:26] ChaoticanarchyX: Flash? [14:26] ChaoticanarchyX: one last time. FLASH. ON. LINUX. IS. CRAP. [14:27] ye [14:27] ChaoticanarchyX: this has notjhing to do with reinstalling. it has nothing to do with Firefox being updated. it has to do with Adobe MAKING A CRAP PRODUCT [14:27] mnetok no doubt (probably the reason Mr Jobs didnt bother with it in the Iphones and Ipads [14:27] curiousx: there is no Ubuntu 12.3 [14:28] ChaoticanarchyX: http://youtube.com/html5 <----- go enroll in the HTNL5 beta. THAT will improve things.

[17:27] Xtreme, what version of ubuntu is this ? [17:27] lucid.. [17:28] abhinav_singh, try sudo apt-get update [17:28] DJFireman, if it comes with hybrid graphics, that's a bad idea [17:28] !reset-panel [17:28] Xtreme: what desktop environment? [17:28] auronandace: KDE [17:28] yup apt-get update is working fine for me ... but when I upgrade I am getting this error DJFireman [17:30] Xtreme, right click on the thing at the right bottom (looks like windoz show desktop) then go to more options and pick nax table [17:30] s|nax|max [17:31] bobweaver: thanks bro.. thanks :) fixed :) [17:31] any way how to flush / refresh fdisk ? [17:31] hi guys! why can't 11.10 & 12.04 recognize my radeon hd 5570? I'm unable to install ubuntu.. :/ [17:32] and second, it is always asking for password. is there computer administrator and normal user groups in linux too as in windows? [17:32] it seems it detects my previously attached usb [17:32] dlentz, what about upgrading to the Radeon 7690M? would that still be bad? [17:32] Xtreme, there is what is called a wallet in kde that holds some password [17:33] DJFireman, i thought that the 7690 was in addition to the igp, but maybe i read it wrong [17:33] bobweaver: how to access it? and how to give my current user root previlegis? [17:33] Xtreme, it is used for system resources like connecting to wireless [17:34] Xtreme, type in wallet into the search bar [17:34] ubuntu logo shows up on installation but hangs showing random pixels [17:34] Xtreme, ubuntu is designed so that you never use, or are, root. [17:34] !sudo | Xtreme [17:34] Xtreme: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [17:35] bobweaver: wallet, no items found ;( [17:35] try password stuff like that Xtreme [17:35] dlentz, I apologize for this, but I am really lost. Ive never worried about hybrid graphics before and I wouldnt know the difference between them. Would you suggest just to forget this laptop and look for something else? [17:35] in the menu ^^ ? [17:35] Xtreme, wallet is used to hold passwords for programs and websites. if you are doing something that requires root priveleges, i.e. installing new software, you will be required to give your password. [17:36] bobweaver: nope, not there [17:36] hylian: thanks..so there is no option to disable it? [17:36] Xtreme: you don't want to disable it [17:36] you dont want to [17:37] DJFireman, the problem is that a lot of systems come with hybrid graphics these days, except ones with just intel graphics [17:37] actually i want to.. coz i am the only one using linux..everyone else windows [17:37] Xtreme: disabling it would be the equivalent of saying to everyone: "do what you like on my machine" [17:37] !root > Xtreme [17:37] Xtreme, please see my private message [17:38] Hi, still running hardy, would it be safe to install libc6 ? [17:39] Xtreme, in an average day of use you will probably not even have to use the password. I am set to auto login, no password there, and the only time i need to enter it is if i step away from the machine for a while, then it locks itself. you can even tell it not to do that. you will find that unless your installing or updating software, you won't be needing it. [17:39] hi [17:39] is there a channel for ubuntu one ? [17:39] nm, checking some things [17:39] #ubuntu-one ? [17:40] how can i get a list of all applications installed? [17:40] or packages?

[17:41] Fyodorovna: I understand.. should do some upgrades [17:41] hylian: hardy is 8.04 [17:41] auronandace, i think so. [17:41] zamba, dpkg --get-selections ? [17:42] auronandace, ahh, i do tend to get the animals mixed up. [17:42] hylian: i prefer the numbers [17:42] Fyodorovna: before I try that I should get a new hd to backup the whole system, disaster prevention === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [17:42] zamba you can filter it put with grep like dpkg --get-selections | gnome-terminal [17:42] zamba dpkg --get-selections | grep gnome-terminal * === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [17:43] auronandace, one more year apparently I'm surprised. [17:44] Do I have to do anything special to enable a touchscreen for ubuntu? Its an nvidia video card if that matters [17:44] probably the monitor matters more than the driver? [17:44] so the server versions run on 5 year spans? [17:44] Fyodorovna: yup, 5 years on server, starting with 12.04 both desktop and sever are 5 years now [17:44] Sontek sould work out of the box [17:45] no events happen when xev is running [17:45] sontek, does for me at least :) [17:45] auronandace, that's a good thing in my opinion. [17:45] bobweaver: it worked on the lenovo touch screen but isn't working on the sony [17:45] hylian: i concur [17:46] sontek, mine is also lenovo [17:46] never tried on sony [17:46] with ubuntu one, if i share a folder X on computer A, then i go to computer B and share X wich already exists and contains data, then what will happen ? [17:47] sontek, you have read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Blueprints/Touchscreen ? [17:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-help/net-default-browser.html > prefered application option does not exist [17:47] what can i do? [17:47] bobweaver: I will check that out [17:48] done [17:48] sorry guys, they changed the name.. [17:48] its oaky [17:48] mirak: Then you will have two shared named B, from two different computers. [17:48] Xtreme, i'm glad, because i never use that... [17:48] hylian: which browser you prefer? [17:49] I don't need multitouch either [17:49] single touch is fine [17:49] Xtreme, chrome seems to work the best on Ubuntu. [17:49] Xtreme, unless your talking cli, in which case i like links. but most people don't surf the web from their command line. === pete_ is now known as Guest34007 [17:50] bekks then why ubuntu one propose sincyng with folders defined on A ? [17:51] bobweaver: I will check that outs "no calibratable devices found" [17:51] grr my mouse scrolled me [17:51] xinput_calibrator says no calibratable devices found [17:51] mirak: because you can sync as much shares as you want with Ubuntu One. === Guest34007 is now known as cbx33 [17:52] beeksm maybe you didn't uderstood my question [17:52] the goal with syncying is getting files modifed on A , on B, without any manual operation [17:53] mirak, in bekks defense, i also tryed to figure out that question... it was uniquely worded. [17:53] mirak: You have to manual do something. Only iCloud does that kind of sync operation you want. [17:53] hylian: the fact the maybe you don't know also possibly contribute to that [17:54] bekks: ha [17:54] is ubuntu satanic a better version of ubuntu or just graphically moded ubunut? [17:54] bekks: that's disapointing [17:55] Xtreme: its an unsupported joke [17:55] bekks then why do i have a message like "the contents of your cloud folder will be merged with yout local folder "X" when subscribing" [17:55] mirak: Try asking your question in #ubuntuone. [17:55] Jordan_U: i did, it's dead there [17:55] hi all i am facing user authentication failure.. it is strange that i could login to the system with the same password but can not do sudo bash, My system has only one user account which is in sudoers list. Any help please? [17:57] nexus__, any chance you bumped the caps lock, num lock or something else that would have otherwise allowed you to log in, but then bumped the control, and now you have password failure? [17:57] beeks by the way my Ubuntu One folder is really synced. It downloaded the files on my computer [17:57] no, i am certain that i am typing the correct password in correct case. [17:58] Why would 'memached' not be in my repository? [17:58] I can't search for it in 10.04 [17:58] server [17:58] sorry memcache [17:58] nexus__, hmm. sorry, i have never heard of that before... you can log in with your password, but you can't sudo apt-get update, for instance? [17:59] I am having a serious problem with 'ext3' file system. I made a check in reading mode, but honestly I don't what to choose. Please, can you give a look to my short log? http://pastebin.com/NvnYCgQN [17:59] bekks hylian so i have my answer now. in fact when files are conflicting, the conflicting files are getting and extension .u1conflict [17:59] an extension [18:00] so stuffs are automatically synced, then you have to choose manually what you want to keep [18:00] mirak, interesting, so what causes the confliction.. same file name size and date of last entry? [18:00] hylian, Yes this is quite strange for me and i am sure that i am not mistyping because i have only two character password on that machine [18:00] hylian yes exactly [18:00] hylian similar to a merge with source code [18:00] mirak, wow, my first guess was right. that's a one in a lifetime situation. [18:01] nexus__, wow that's bizarre. i'm going to do some diggin to see if anyone has ever had that problem before... [18:01] Hello [18:01] Maria_, hello [18:01] can somebody help me with an issue? [18:01] hylian, so what it does is good. i am happy with how it handles the situation. you don't lose data [18:01] hi, do I need to restart cron or something after I add text to /etc/cron? [18:02] !ask | Maria_ [18:02] Maria_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:02] irule: No. [18:02] thanks [18:02] ghost is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. Ghost = my username. :(. how to add it? [18:03] edit /etc/sudosers [18:03] mirak, good to know. i don't use the cloud much, but atleast my data is safe, thanks.

[18:04] when you do a wget, how to do download the contents of that file into another local file [18:04] Maria: wired or wireless? [18:04] alternative ways of downloading it? [18:04] for example [18:04] Maria run dhclient i in terminal are you connected ? [18:04] Xtreme: Then use the user account that has sudo permissions (the account you created while installing ubuntu). [18:04] mdk: both [18:04] nexus__, type su, then your password, and then see what you get. we usually don't use su... [18:05] sorry dhclient Maria [18:05] root.. [18:05] bobweaver: i tried it once but nothing happened [18:05] Maria can you ping google ? [18:05] bekks: is there any way to log into root without logging out from ghost? [18:05] using console? [18:05] Hey, I am running ubuntu 10.04 and I keep getting a segmentation fault when trying to run software center. [18:05] Xtreme: are you trying to edit the sudoers file so that you don't need to enter a password?

[18:06] auronandace: nope, i am the root.. remember i created one more account. well i am using that account now, coz some irc ban root [18:06] Xtreme: Sure, use the user having sudo permissions. [18:06] hylian: konsole [18:06] Maria lets see a lspci -nn | grep Net* paste it using paste.ubuntu.com [18:06] Xtreme: please tell me you aren't using backtrack [18:06] I thought that the >> should create the file, and then put contents of the downloaded file into the local one. [18:06] * dlentz wonders how many test pings google gets in a day [18:07] Xtreme: please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a". [18:07] anyone have any luck getting the xbox 360 controller to work on ubuntu 11.10 [18:07] bobweaver: i just mention it to narrow ideas down [18:07] !paste | Xtreme [18:07] bekks: lucis [18:07] Xtreme: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [18:07] Maria_, lets look at card then at drivers [18:07] Xtreme, not simultaneously form the same window ofcoarse, but you should get a new window with control shift t. from there you should be able to sudo su or soemthing, then log into the account you want. this idea is frowned upon. [18:08] Maria_, sometimes the linux kernel does not get the right mod (driver) for the network card aka it loads the wrong one [18:09] Hey, I am running ubuntu 10.04 and I keep getting a segmentation fault when trying to run software center. [18:09] I'm having difficulty playing yahoo chess in 12.04. I complains that I don't have flash 7 or later: http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=ch&ss=1 [18:09] bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/919241/ [18:09] Yet, I can watch youtube videos..... any suggestions? [18:09] hylian: nothing happens when i press ctrl+shift+t [18:09] has ubuntu fixed the add user with password remote shellcode exploit? [18:09] Xtreme: Then open a terminal. [18:09] so can anyone help me with my simple problem? [18:09] lonnie, hmm, never tried yahoo games on ubuntu. let me see what happens... === mefrio is now known as mefrio|afk [18:10] Thanks hylian. [18:10] ruum: You havent told us about a problem yet. [18:10] ruum: man wget [18:10] ruum: You just told us what you did, not what happened. [18:10] Xtreme, well, i am not familiar with konsole. but there should be a way to either open another konsole session, or to get konsole to give you another tabbed window like a browser. [18:11] hylian: i started another konsole, but it is getting logged in as ghost only. login command also doesnt work, it required root access [18:11] no one knows? does ubuntu even care that their OS here lately has been extremely exploitable? [18:11] anyone know how to get the xbox 360 wired controller to work in ubuntu 11.10. I hook it up and all the green lights keep flashing telling me something is wrong. [18:11] AcidRain2012: Please prove your statements or at least provide some links to what you really talk about. [18:12] bekks: hang on [18:12] AcidRain2012: you waited 2 whole minutes and come to the conclusion that nobody cares? wow, thats thorough [18:12] hylian: i can log into root the normal way. can u please tell me what can i do next? [18:12] well bekks, when I did this command: " wget http://dowloaddomain.com/globalfile.txt >> localfile.txt " it downloaded the file and created the other file, but left the local file empty [18:12] bekks: http://www.exploit-db.com/shellcode/ [18:13] ruum: Because you are using wget wrong. "man wget" will tell you how to use wget. [18:13] lonnie, that's actually not a problem based on flash, but java. you will have to install java from oracle, the version installed (open jdk and icedtea6-plugin) will not work. [18:13] bekks: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18585/ [18:13] Ok, thanks Hylian! [18:13] AcidRain2012: And now you are expecting us to test out every "exploit" there and find out what you are talking about? At least for me, that not interesting enough to care about. [18:14] Xtreme, well, once you get another terminal window open, typing sudo su (and password) will give you pthe root account. [18:14] can anyone else help me with my problem???? it is mentuoned above [18:14] bekks: ... considering anyone in this channel could root your box in less than 1 minute. its something to care about [18:15] hylian: the proper way to get a root terminal is sudo -i (sudo su will not set up the environment properly) [18:15] thanks guys [18:15] Hey. [18:15] auronandace, thanks for that. I am a pretty old ubuntu-er. those old commands are stuck in the old noggin. [18:15] Maria: does ifconfig command shows any interfaces..? [18:15] Guys, I'm having a small issue. I just migrated my Wubi install to a new partition, but now the Windows Loader option is missing from GRUB, how do I add it back? [18:16] Maria_, sorry about that I had to reboot to complete my upgrades [18:16] iamnoss: how did you migrate? [18:16] my biggest concern with ubuntu is the exploit that allows remote writting to any writable file [18:16] iamnoss, wow, never heard of anyone doing that before... i'd have to research it. [18:16] i cant believe yall just put this aside like a windows user and ignore it until it happens to you [18:16] nvm [18:17] Maria: does ifconfig command shows any interfaces..? [18:17] AcidRain2012: what exploit...? [18:17] I did it using the script from the ubuntu forum, Hey, simple question here. The Windows Loader option is missing from GRUB. [18:17] test [18:17] hi, why does 11.10..12.04 install hang on my radeon hd 5570? though listed as supported hardware.. ? [18:17] hylian: auronandace: both sudo su and sudo -i are asking for ghost password only. and then with msg incidance will be reported.. anyways, i will just relogin [18:17] My windows partition is definately still there and working, just can't boot it from grub. [18:17] jrib: http://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/18379/ [18:17] can anyone see this [18:17] Xtreme, sorry man.. [18:17] all i want to know. is where does ubuntu tell us that these exploits have been patched? [18:17] AcidRain2012: link to ubuntu bug tracker? [18:18] AcidRain2012: can you demonstrate the exploit? if so file a bug report [18:18] !bug | AcidRain2012 [18:18] AcidRain2012: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [18:18] can anyone see this? [18:18] nak: yes [18:18] hylian: please dont. u are helping me a lot.. i am new to linxu and if it wasnt for you guys, i would have already quit it. [18:18] thanks you all very much [18:18] AcidRain2012, if i understand what you are asking, you are asking for the date a exploit was patched? [18:18] auronandace: ok. ill run ths particular exploit. but it should have been reported by now. [18:18] hylian: yes [18:19] how do i fix this: [18:19] Nevermind guys, I just had to type sudo update-grub and it found it! [18:19] Thanks anyways. [18:19] AcidRain2012: Then "test" it, and search for a related bug in the bug tracker before accusing people of not caring about it please :) [18:19] AcidRain2012: if it should have been reported have you searched through the bug tracker to find it? [18:19] The upgrade needs a total of 58.0 M free space on disk '/boot'. [18:19] glad we could help [18:19] how do i fix that? [18:19] i have an encrypted disk [18:19] iamnoss, that's great! [18:19] tables: You still need 58M on /boot. You have to free up space there. [18:20] tables, look in boot and see how many kernels are installed [18:20] there's a bunch [18:20] should i delete em? [18:20] no, not delete. [18:20] ...... At least for me, that not interesting enough to care about. [18:20] tables: Uninstall old kernels. [18:20] you have to uninstall them [18:20] bekks, how? === mefrio|afk is now known as mefrio [18:20] AcidRain2012: You are obviously ignoring the first pasrt of my sentence to have me telling what you want to hear. [18:21] tables, this is one site from google: http://jaypeeonline.net/tips-tricks/howto-remove-old-ubuntu-kernels [18:21] no not really. i gave you a direct link. an u refused to acknowledge the fact that it could possibly be a ongoing exploit [18:21] some of us run servers [18:21] anyone know why the transparency slider in xchat won't move? I know metacity is running for sure. === bunnyrape is now known as etotheipi [18:22] R34v3D: transparency slider in xchat? [18:22] yeah, the transparent background in Effects [18:22] Back, sorry for the sudden exit, had to go check if it was definitely working. [18:22] in preferences [18:23] Is there a way to change the background of the Grub menu? Mines stuck at some Debian one, I think a program changed it. [18:23] AcidRain2012: You gave a link with a couple of whatever and did not tell us what exactly you refer to on that page. [18:23] R34v3D: wow, never noticed that before [18:23] AcidRain2012: you realize first of all that this exploit doesn't claim to do what you claimed? Anyway, http://www.ubuntu.com/usn is where security notices go up [18:23] tables, if synaptic package manager is not installed on your system, here's another way: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/remove-old-kernels-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/ [18:23] AcidRain2012, hmm, i did a quick google, and i think it would depend upon which version... 10.04, or 12.04 beta? (just a guess) [18:23] AcidRain2012: Anyway, I'll just wait for you to finally test the exploit you are talking about and then wait for you to search the bugtracker. === Tourette is now known as Tourette-away [18:24] !away > Tourette-away [18:24] Tourette-away, please see my private message [18:26] auronandace: yeah, mine is stuck at "Transparent" - I sent my background color to 25% grey and it is good enough. Just wondering if anyone had dealt with it before. [18:26] *set [18:26] hello folks ! [18:26] please how do i remove my desktop? [18:26] gnome [18:26] i don't want it i want only shell [18:27] you can use ubuntu server [18:27] that only has shell [18:27] can't you also stop gdm from starting? [18:27] compdoc: yeah i can't install aguin [18:27] hello guys [18:27] back as root [18:28] hi [18:28] buy [18:28] is it normal i dont have a files messages in /var/log? also is it normal gnome-system-log is empty?? [18:28] auronandace: bekks: back, and logged in as root [18:28] now how to give ghost sudo previliges? [18:28] Xtreme: visudo [18:28] Hey, I am having trouble installing ubuntu with wubi. After the installation inside windows, i am asked to restart but when i do i get an error saying that the file system wasn't closed properly or something wasn't removed properly. Can anyone help ? ps : using win 7 [18:29] Any of you guys know anything about the evtouch or nextwindow modules? I need those but not seeing them in apt [18:29] Xtreme: And you should NOT use the root account like you are doing it, for security reasons. It has a disabled password by default. [18:29] I have a laptop where the HD died. I'm trying to get a persistent USB install working, but neither unetbootin nor usb-creator-gtk seem to be doing the trick. I've downloaded lubuntu 11.10 (just to keep it light and avoid swap), but unetbootin just gives me a live cd with no persistence, and usb-creator just leaves the boot at a flashing cursor and no grub menu [18:30] bekks: okay, i wil redisable it.. and it is opened.. now should i add ghost name to it? [18:30] Xtreme: You should edit that file like you want [18:31] mbeierl: When partitioning the usb drive, you marking it to be bootable? [18:31] added ghost ALL=(All) ALL [18:31] bekks: how to save vi? [18:31] Xeneth: I'll check. [18:31] Xtreme: you don't need to use sudoers to add a user who can sudo. You should just add the "ghost" user to the "admin" group with: sudo adduser ghost admin [18:32] anyone? [18:32] !helpme | DelphiWorld [18:32] DelphiWorld: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [18:32] jrib: thank you [18:32] jrib: done. so it should do all? [18:33] Is there a channel just for wubi ? [18:33] Xtreme: :wq [18:33] Xeneth: odd - I just plugged the USB stick back into my 11.10 ubuntu box where I formatted it (also where this is running from) and now I can't even alt-tab or change focus. Gotta reboot or something. [18:33] jrib: done. bekks: i did that sudo command. should i still save edited file? [18:33] Xtreme: Which sudo command? [18:34] sudo adduser ghost admin [18:34] Thats an invalid command, according to "man adduser". [18:34] bekks: no it's not... [18:34] shouldnt there be a -G in there? === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [18:35] adduser ghost -G admin [18:35] Xtreme: you don't need to save your modifications to sudoers, you should abandon them [18:35] bekks: wq doesnt work [18:35] RiXtEr-Home: no [18:35] Xtreme: Thats why i wrote :wq [18:35] Xtreme: use :q! to exit without saving [18:35] But do as jrib tells you. [18:35] bekks: by default on ubuntu, members of the admin group have sudo privileges [18:35] jrib: ack [18:36] what's ack? [18:36] ack = acknoledged :) [18:37] MonkeyDust: syn [18:37] bekks: jrib: done. brb [18:37] mbeierl: WB === leello is now known as proudN00b [18:37] Xeneth: rebooted, and stable again. OK, the flags are boot, lba. [18:39] mbeierl: I have had issue with persistance. How I got around that is by partitioning the USB into 2 drives, OS on one, use the second for storage. That would allow you to save what's needed until you get HDD back up. [18:39] bekks: auronandace: jrib: sudo stuff SOLVED [18:39] thanks guys [18:40] Xeneth: hmm. But how to you tell the OS to persist onto the second? When I put the image on it using unetbootin, it's a non-persistent install, even though I tell it to reserve space for persistance\ [18:40] * proudN00b would love an answer [18:40] Is there a difference between the sudo and su commands? [18:40] Pl3nar1us: yes [18:41] jrib: Thank you. [18:41] mbeierl: It will not be persistant, it will just give you a place to save. It's a temp fix. [18:41] proudN00b: perhaps you should ask a question [18:41] Xeneth: but, I thought Ubuntu had a persistent USB option somewhere? [18:42] is there any other software than wubi that does an installation inside windows ? [18:42] proudN00b: no. [18:42] proudN00b: You could use virtualbox. [18:42] proudN00b: you could just use ubuntu virtualized [18:42] proudN00b: not to my knowledge no (unless you count virtualisation) [18:43] i tried but i couldn't find a way to attach my wireless adapter [18:43] to the VM [18:43] zdar [18:43] proudN00b, the virtual wont use a wireless adapter it runs from the guest. [18:44] I want to replace ALT+K keyboard combination with UP key. I would do this with xmodmap, but I don't know how to replace shortcut. === anonymous is now known as Guest27434 [18:44] Any ideas? [18:44] proudN00b: why do you need access to the wifi from the vm? [18:44] mbeierl: it's tricky. [18:44] host that is actually proudN00b [18:44] Hey all, how do I remove everything gnome related? [18:44] CharminTheMoose, you want what then? [18:44] auronadance : aircrack works on ubuntu , nothing illegal don't worry [18:45] proudN00b: ask in #vbox about bridged networking [18:45] Fyodorovna, Just to remove it, I'm running flubox as my window manager now and I don't use the gnome stuff. [18:46] CharminTheMoose, chances are you will loose a bunch of apps your using. [18:47] mbeierl: It's possible, and usefull if you want to run from USB long term, but as I said, tricky [18:47] if you removed gnome completely [18:47] CharminTheMoose: removing all gnome related stuff will be difficult, it would be a lot easier and quicker to just reinstall from scratch with the mini iso and choose only what you want [18:47] i just upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and the bootup process never finishes, i'm stuck at the ubuntu screen, i can however ssh in to troubleshoot. dmesg: http://pastebin.com/fhMzjP4D === pcggone is now known as pcg [18:47] auronadance : thank you very much, another question : i keep getting 'file system not closed properly' error when i try to install with wubi, ideas ?

So, I'm stumped [18:47] Unless you are really short on hard drive space you dont need to uninstall gnome, just install another wm and start that from the login manager [18:48] ubottu: thank you [18:48] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [18:48] mbeierl: I've been a bit out of the loop, and at work, so cannot help in detail. Just thought of the boot option. GL [18:48] auronandace: thanks [18:48] plut0: no worries :) [18:49] Xeneth: thanks! It's probably something like that, but I just don't see it. Perhaps grub needs to be redone or something. Anyway, thanks! [18:49] Well yes, but it's just taking up disk space and I mostly use firefox, xchat, libreoffice and bluefish, which I don't think should have any dependencies on Gnome.

[18:52] would* [18:52] How does one add to the ubuntu wiki? [18:53] seanbright, the ubuntu wiki? [18:53] seangibbz: wouldn't you need an account? [18:54] Never mind, i found the edit button (and yes, i hae an account) [18:54] ^_^ [18:54] anybody? [18:54] at all? [18:55] i have a quick question; is it my home directory that gets unmounted when the last user logs out, and is it doing so because it's encrypted? [18:55] yourlunchable: ?? [18:55] indeed [18:56] Well, I guess what I'm asking is, is that considering that ubuntu-desktop is a dependancyy of all the gnome stuff, and it says 'it's needed for upgrading', does that mean if I upgrade to 11.10 without that metapackage installed, it borks the system possibly? [18:56] I do have the ubuntu-minimal metapackage installed though [18:58] guys something is wrong, my speaker volum is too lop [18:58] low* [18:58] i am using laptop [18:58] and volume is set to maximum in right hand bottom corner [18:59] Xtreme in a terminal, type alsamixer [19:00] Xtreme: my turn :) For some reason, the volume "goes up to 11" on recent ubuntu's. Right click on the speaker icon and choose properties [19:00] Xtreme: sorry - sound properties [19:00] hey guys, I need some help on something. I'm a bit new to Ubuntu (running 11.10 64bit) and I want to know if there is any way to make my ubuntu stay better. extentions, programs, etc. [19:00] yourlunchable "stay better"? [19:00] why is there a clamAV and a klamAV, is that i difference or is there something spooky with one of them ? [19:00] Xtreme: take a look at the Output Volume slider at the top. It goes > 100% [19:01] As in using Ubuntu. [19:01] yourlunchable what exactly do you mean by "stay better"? [19:02] As in using Ubuntu, like, i'm sort of sampling Ubuntu and seeing if I like it. [19:02] mbeierl: i set it at 90. but still no change [19:02] (Awesome so far) [19:03] Xtreme: slide it all the way to the right, like 200% [19:03] CharminTheMoose: there are meta packages for other window manager systems like xfce etc [19:04] acicula, yep, I'm aware, but I don't have those installed. [19:04] mbeierl: there are only veritical bar. [19:04] CharminTheMoose: could be that you see issues with graphics drivers or sound daemons, but the base system should upgrade. [19:05] one was at 110, no written value, but above horizontal 10th line [19:05] i set it to 9th line [19:05] MonkeyDust: opened. now what to do? [19:05] CharminTheMoose: but im just guessing here, you could install the standard meta package and just purge afterwards if you have to ? [19:06] guys done [19:07] alsamixer at top, and output is normal :) [19:07] thanks :) [19:07] Xtreme: Sorry, what version of Ubuntu are you using? [19:07] Hello everyone. Would anyone be able to help me with KDE desktop and widgets? [19:07] Xtreme: oh, ok! [19:07] acicula, I probably could yeah. But what I don't know is if I were to remove the ubuntu-minimal metapackage, would sudo (which is a dependancy of ubuntu-minimal) still get upgraded, for example?

[19:08] if I wanted to make a script to sync my home folder and a windows user share, what should I even be looking at? I know for windows/server I would be doing a robycopy on a schedule [19:09] I've got KDE installed with Kubuntu 11.10 I think, the newest, and I installed a new monitor and now the widgets and desktop icons and wallpaper won't show. [19:09] CharminTheMoose: idunno, i would guess the system upgrade installs updates for all packages and dependencies, so it should upgrade sudo [19:09] It is all black, and new activities don't do anything. [19:09] CharminTheMoose: meta-pacakges just pull in a lot of packages === dmogle is now known as Guest19880 [19:10] Cool, yeah, I'm just curious is all if the system would start having seizure if I remove the ubuntu-desktop package, and still have a few 'resiidual' things that are dependencies of that package. [19:10] CharminTheMoose: if you remove it all it does is remove a package that does not install files, but just requires a number of packages of version x.y.z to be installed [19:11] CharminTheMoose: no, it would just upgrade packages that are otherwise not used [19:11] No thanks for the help. [19:11] hi guys i just install iRedMail as mail server on my ubuntu, i can receive mail only for users of my server. But I cant send an email to myself on my gmail account, or receive an email from my gmail account to my email server. Is there something that I had to setup ? [19:11] Oh cool! [19:11] The program 'traceroute' is currently not installed. [19:11] oh ubuntu [19:12] CharminTheMoose: though honestly there is little reason to remove such packages unless you are so short on hd space that you need to scrounge 100M's worth of files [19:12] * rhizmoe checks to see if vi has to be installed specially, too [19:12] rhizmoe: vim yes vi no [19:12] acicula was faster ;) [19:13] Hehe [19:13] how is the tool called in ubuntu for creating bootable usbs ?

[19:38] yes bakedpotato [19:38] cool. [19:39] minster2 the only way to configure it the way you want is to install compizconfig [19:39] what was it you needed help with? [19:39] My computer has started freezing randomly and the only way I have found that can fix it is through restarting. Any idea why this is and how to fix it? [19:39] user82: with thanks to urbancommando for making sure I did not over-write any existing names: http://paste.ubuntu.com/919388/ [19:39] http://askubuntu.com/questions/34979/how-to-change-the-shortcut-to-adjust-brightness [19:39] user82: but, because it's reading /dev/random, it's not the fastest thing in the word. [19:39] i'm trying to find out if it's my encrypted home directory that's getting unmounted when i log out. [19:39] urbancommando; again, why do i need to change the shortcut key? [19:40] bakedpotato have you looked at the mount command with it? i have no idea how you woul [19:40] user82: Sorry - you need to add the actual "mv" command to the script. Right now it just echos out what it's going to do === martins is now known as Guest72696 [19:41] urbancommando; why do i need to change the shortcut key? i want to adjust the brightness beyond what i have now. if compiz will do that then i'll install it === Guest72696 is now known as Rafaeel [19:41] user82: http://paste.ubuntu.com/919399/ [19:41] minster2 you can keep the same short cut keys you are just going to use a different software to adjust your brightness === pejjj is now known as grezev [19:41] urbancommando; but it has the capacity to change the settings i want to change? i have terrible internet so this will be a prolonged download i assume, as i recall compiz being fairly large [19:42] internets is excellent [19:42] oh, it's tiny [19:42] check out link i gave you the user is having the same issue as you are having [19:42] fisix yes, it is, but not when you get throttled to 10> [19:42] i can only tell that it's trying when i log out of one instance on the actual machine and it says that it's not unmounting it since there's still a user logged in (me on ssh) [19:43] urbancommando; uh, no they aren't. they change the key to use... [19:43] bakedpotato; isn't ubuntu set up to automatically unmount encrypted filesystems on logout? [19:43] is there anyway that apache is blocking access to my webserver that i dont know about because my pc firewall and router firewall are down and my ISP is not blocking the port but i still can not access the page from the web [19:44] kingkatari; you have port forwarding in place? [19:44] Kingkatari: You cant access your own public IP from inside your local lan. [19:44] could be, i dunno, but wanna know :D i guess i should put my minecraft server somewhere other than my home directory... [19:45] bakedpotato; usually servers are best stored elsewhere... [19:45] <^Mike> How can I add parameters to the grub2 boot command that gets selected by default? [19:45] urbancommando; compiz doesn't directly change the settings, it only changes the BUTTONS. not what i'm looking for, i want to change the setting. [19:45] what do you mean bekks [19:46] mister2: thanks. [19:46] mbeierl, thank you! [19:46] ^mike can't you do that by directly editing the file in your grub folder? [19:46] Kingkatari: That you cant test it from your own PC. [19:46] ^mike as root, i mean (or with sudo, whatever) [19:47] bakedpotato np [19:47] <^Mike> mister2: Yes, but it'll be overwritten when that file gets regenerated. There's another config file where you can add stuff to be permanent, I can't remember where [19:47] user82: you're welcome. Not sure how long it'll take though. I need to think if there's a better way to get a random number... [19:47] ^mike ah, i was not aware of this so i have no idea [19:47] <^Mike> mister2: Also, I'm not exactly certain what variable to add the parameters to if i want to append them to the kernel line [19:47] <^Mike> !grub2 [19:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

Just a note: the change I made to that script uses the MD5 hash as the target name to make it quicker. However, if you run it again and the MD5 hash file name already exists, it will fall back to the slow version and generate a random name by using /dev/random [20:38] user_113, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [20:38] ZZZZZZZZZZZ [20:38] hello [20:38] user_113, dont leave usssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Makes helping people in irc that much easier. [21:07] wylde the line must be drawn somewhere, even synaptic is no longer installed by default [21:07] I tend to agree, wylde - not sure how many dependencies it has, but I can't imagine it has a large footprint in total [21:07] how do I paste into irssi ????? [21:08] finn ctrl insert [21:08] finn: you can copy and paste if you're running an application inside screen [21:08] ta [21:08] finn: pastebin your info, or install and use pastebinit. [21:08] finn it's shift insert [21:09] MonkeyDust: true, it just seems to be an invaluable tool for irc support. [21:10] http://pastebin.com/U3magkLG - this happens everytime I try to install anything [21:11] thanks by the way [21:11] finn what's that in human language? [21:11] huh? [21:13] * http://pastebin.com/U3magkLG -this happens when ever I try to install anything via apt-get [21:13] and software center [21:13] finn: have you used 'sudo apt-get -f install' ? [21:14] I'm having trouble with a system after using the 11.10 Alternate installer. My Wifi adapter is listed as "not managed" and I can't manually add the network, either. [21:14] finn, sometimes aptitude can fix dependency issues [21:14] try aptitude full-upgrade [21:15] okay, going to try it now [21:15] how do I go about troubleshooting my wifi adapter? [21:16] good news people.. the latest nomachine nx (beta) works amazing with ubuntu 11.10 finally.. (the audio playback is even flawless-- quite amazing) [21:16] :P Oo-er [21:16] it says aptitude is not installed [21:16] :P [21:17] <`prixon> Hello [21:17] `prixon, aye [21:17] how do i unistall subsonic on ubuntu 10.04 [21:17] Is there a way to keep a persistent image of an ubuntu install similar to how online gaming stores re-image their computers on startup? [21:18] Barnabas, It says aptitude isn't installed [21:18] should I install it??? [21:18] yes you have to [21:18] okay [21:18] aptitude search is also a great tool [21:18] which VPN do i need to set up in order to get the same VPN as on windows? [21:19] i have a VPN account that i only add in windows and it works, but somehow the same account doesn't go through on ubuntu [21:19] Barnabas, okay, It's installing aptitude now [21:19] answer : sudo aptitude remove subsonic [21:19] <`prixon> I'm using 11.10 and I had 11.04 on another partition (on the same HD as the 11.10). I deleted this filesystem partition and formatted it to ntfs because I coudln't access/write to that partition, but unfortunately that didn't help. now I still have a partition that I can't write to. I tried using some advices from forums and sites, but to no avail. what can I do? [21:19] I am having a problem with syslogging. The default rsyslog config seems to want to write default messages to /var/log/syslog -- however, this file is empty (0 bytes) [21:20] /var/log/messages is also empty [21:20] I have verified rsyslog is running, and it is [21:20] what gives? [21:20] * Barnabas thinks aptitude sould be standard on Ubuntu [21:20] this is Ubuntu 11.10 [21:20] <`prixon> I tried something like "sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition" and "sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition" but nothing changes. I still have no permission to write to this empty partition [21:21] Barnabas, what was the command again?? :P [21:21] aptitude full-upgrade og fullupgrade [21:21] cant remember [21:21] check the man page [21:21] or [21:21] <`prixon> the diskutility app says that the usage of this partition is Filesystem. could this be the problem? how can I change the permissions? loading nautilus with sudo also didn't help [21:22] if that does not fix it try the fix from excalibour [21:22] i <3 grun [21:22] do I have to do something specific to enable general sys logging? [21:22] its there for me when the systems is broke [21:23] okay, it's running now [21:23] it = aptitude full-upgrade [21:24] im installing aptitude [21:24] why not [21:24] is it like gdebi? [21:25] I have 2 ubuntu one of them can change grub but otherone cannot change aniting about booting. Is there anyway to do it? [21:25] I also tried commenting out the lines in the config to send messages to /var/log/messages, but nothing [21:26] here is my /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf: http://pastebin.com/VvuBzCqh [21:26] Barnabas, I don't think aptitude solved it: http://pastebin.com/Ta0WeQkr [21:27] Barnabas, could you highlight your name please? It's getting hard to see when you've replied :/ [21:27] Barnabas, thanks in advance [21:28] highligt my name? most channels do not alow that kind of hokus pokus [21:28] xD :/ [21:28] correct me if I am wrong here [21:28] you're name was highlighted before :/ [21:28] by your chat client then [21:29] i believe :/ [21:29] Barnabas: it will highlight for finn if you include his name in your responses. [21:29] finn if Barnabas mentions you does it highlight his name? [21:29] !tab | Barnabas [21:29] (hehe) [21:29] Barnabas: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [21:29] It's not his nick that is highlighted, it's your own nickname, finn [21:29] I dont need to do anything special to turn on ssh on ubuntu do i? [21:29] arh ok .. [21:30] cowboydren, yep [21:30] Ali1_apac i use ssh, what do you want to do [21:30] Ali1_apac: ssh client or server? [21:30] server [21:30] Ali1_apac: then you need to install open-ssh [21:30] !open-ssh | Ali1_apac [21:30] ok [21:31] !openssh| Ali1_apac [21:31] Ali1_apac: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

[21:33] why the -, I mean [21:33] Barnabas: what do you think I should do? [21:34] finn: have you tried 'sudo apt-get -f install' ? [21:35] wylde: not yet, no. I forgot about that :P [21:35] wlyde: will do [21:35] finn (and others) what about uninstalling linux-generic linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic linux-image-generic [21:36] you are bound to have the previour kernel defined in grub [21:36] your boot loader [21:37] then boot that one and try to do a clean apt-get update / upgrade - because it seems the install of that kernel did not complete sucessfully [21:37] Barnabas: yes, the previous one was 3.0.0.16 [21:37] have you tried to boot that one ? [21:37] press shift when booting and select that one [21:38] and then remove the 17 [21:38] Barnabas, haven't tried that [21:38] wlyde: it gives the same output as before [21:38] hello, anyone here can help me with my dvd driver? it won't play any dvd, a am on a unbuntu 10.10 === gim is now known as gim_ [21:39] O.o gotta go in 3min :/ [21:39] !dvd | filipe [21:39] filipe: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[21:40] looks like I cam make 9.10 work by going to http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1895629.html [21:40] barnabas, wlyde, gotta go in 3 mins [21:41] finn there is no 3 min fix to your problem [21:41] finn: did you run sudo apt-get -f install? [21:41] topic was off-screen [21:41] Barnabas: it doesn't show multiple kernels at boot [21:41] I am having a problem with syslogging. The default rsyslog config seems to want to write default messages to /var/log/syslog -- however, this file is empty (0 bytes) [21:41] wlyde: yes, it didn't fix the problem, it gave the same errors as in the pastebins I gave [21:42] I know there are some things that should be logged, but they are just not [21:42] Barnabas: I will try uninstalling the kernel, how do I do that? [21:43] finn apt remove the packages [21:43] finn: sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic [21:43] wylde, exactly [21:43] finn: or perhaps sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.0.0-17-generic [21:44] then it would absolutely be gone [21:44] If i have 9.04 ubuntu and want to upgrade from the command line, cause I dont have physical access, is this possible? [21:44] I have shell [21:44] i think it is --purge [21:44] okay, thanks! will try that !!! [21:44] bye!! [21:44] Ali1_apac, I don't know, but that's a cool question!!! [21:45] Ali1_apac: apt-get distupgrade [21:45] Ali1_apac: should be, but you're taking chances if something breaks during the update with no physical access. [21:45] Ali1_apac: wait...it's "apt-get dist-upgrade" [21:45] wylde: yeah, is it just apt-get distupgrade ? will it auto auto reboot when done? [21:45] Ali1_apac: I'm not sure this is the recommaneded way but 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' will do it [21:45] Ali1_apac: and you need to run that command as root [21:46] Ali1_apac: to reboot just enter "reboot" [21:46] * coolstar-pc loves UNIX shells [21:46] coolstar-pc: it sudo reboot ;) [21:46] it's* [21:47] wylde: or it can be "su root -c reboot" [21:47] I'm a big fan of `sudo su -` ;) [21:47] Am I likely to retain access during the dist upgrade? [21:47] coolstar-pc: not in ubuntu, you have to have the root password to use su and ubuntu root account has no password by default. [21:47] Ali1_apac: yes [21:47] and I need to sources.list to point it to old repos to get the updates first [21:48] Ali1_apac: you should yes, as long as you remote session doesn't get interuppted. [21:49] sudo -i is the preffered ubuntu method I believe [21:49] I really dont need to upgrade but just need to install bridge-utils, but the repos for 9.04 a EOL [21:49] unless I get bridge-utils to install from 'old-verions' archive repos [21:50] on youtube it says I don't have flash installed but I do but it keeps saying I don't. Any suggestions? [21:50] when creating a bridge between eth0 and ra0 on this pc, will I be able to retain access? [21:50] Ali1_apac: I honestly don't know. [21:50] cause ra0 is the wireless link to the pc [21:50] k [21:51] robertzaccour: i suppose that you have restart your browser? which browser do you use? [21:52] well i did what the topic asked, restarted and nothing, i will see if it is a region set problem... [21:53] grylos, I already did that I closed it and opened it again. In Ubuntu software center it clearly shows flash is installed. I closed the browser opened it again and youtube still says i need flash [21:53] grylos, I use firefox [21:53] filipe: you installed libdvdread4 then ran sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh? [21:54] yes [21:55] filipe: you may also need to 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' [21:55] also, if there is a device on a diff subnet, you can add this as a secondary net? [21:55] to eth0 [21:55] doing it now! === ips|malc is now known as ips|malcAfk [21:56] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version. [21:56] filipe: if you need a media-player that handles just about anything you can throw at it VLC is great :) [21:56] got this message... [21:56] filipe: hmmm, ok [21:56] i have vlc installed [21:56] on youtube it says I don't have flash installed but I do but it keeps saying I don't. Any suggestions? [21:56] i use it to play downloaded videos, bu it is not able to open dvd either... [21:57] filipe: that's odd. hmmm... [21:57] i can see my drive in disk utility, and it opens data cds... [21:57] I was deleting some files from my desktop, then this happened: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/haux/Screenshot-04072012-120140PM.png ... any ideas? [21:57] All of my desktop icons lost their arrangement, the background disappeared, and the File System link is gone. [21:57] filipe: beyond a possible region code issue I don't have any other ideas. sorry. [21:58] i will try to set the area code then.... [21:58] how do you suggest i should do that?

[22:16] drounse, ubuntu is better on the core packages [22:16] this is on a dedicated server; am I correct in assuming hard drive failure?

[22:16] scientes, yea [22:16] <`prixon> I'm using 11.10 and I had 11.04 on another partition (on the same HD as the 11.10). I deleted this filesystem partition and formatted it to ntfs because I coudln't access/write to that partition, but unfortunately that didn't help. now I still have a partition that I can't write to. I tried using some advices from forums and sites, but to no avail. what can I do? I tried something like "sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition" and [22:16] <`prixon> "sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition" but nothing changes. I still have no permission to write to this empty partition. the diskutility app says that the usage of this partition is Filesystem. could this be the problem? how can I change the permissions? loading nautilus with sudo also didn't help [22:17] drounse, but also, distros change alot if this was a long time ago, i got pushed from debian to ubuntu because of the lack of a debian installable livecd, but now it has one [22:17] for example [22:17] bien!!! este es el xchat que yo conocia!!!

[22:54] Are there any real (performance) issues when using a Wubi ubuntu installation? Is there any reason why it is preferrable to partition the HD for installing it? (Sorry if I already posted this...) [22:54] eph3meral, xfce has a clipboard plugin [22:54] ActionParsnip>> canu have a look at : http://pastebin.com/BPNaNtx8 [22:55] Anyone know how to make a VM a DMZ through router when I cant find a local ip in router? [22:55] aJacom, read what the wubi designer says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/ [22:55] itaylor57, cool, installing now thanks [22:55] so i am on a 750 GB HDD, i have 3 partitions C - 350 gb D - 200 gb E - 150 gb, on C i have windows 7 ... i dont need anything from this harddisk, i want to format it all, and want to install ubuntu ... how do i format from ubuntu ?! can i do it when i install ubuntu!? when i click on ERASE WINDOWS from install ubuntu setup i dont see any option for format ... will ubuntu install keep my [22:55] partitioning or do i need to make it again? [22:55] excalibour: ok, edit those in turn and you will see networks and you can uncomment / edit a line to allow your network to connect. The default is to only allow localhost [22:55] itaylor57, do you use XFCE? [22:55] eph3meral, yes [22:56] cool, I love it :) [22:56] hey guys do know how to download all the image files from a URL folder -- example wget http://somedomain.com/images/ to a local directory? [22:56] eertre: do you want to dual boot? [22:56] ActionParsnip>> still no file under http, somewhere else? [22:56] no, i dony want anything from the harddisk [22:56] just a new fresh installed ubuntu copy [22:56] I was soooo pissed at both Unity and GNOME3 [22:56] excalibour: did you edit the file, then restart the app? [22:56] * scientes likes gnome-shell [22:57] does anyone know? [22:57] ActionParsnip there s no file to edit, sorry, with ls i get a blank prompt under http [22:57] eertre: the installer will make the partitions for you, if you set to use the whole drive it will delete Windows and install Ubuntu for you [22:57] ? [22:57] ActionParsnip, how does the installer know how i want the partition to be? [22:57] excalibour: the command outputted some file names, edit those with nano to enable the local subnet [22:58] How do you execute a command and have it execute from another /dev/pts/# ? i.e. execute clear from /dev/pts/2 but executes on /dev/pts/3 [22:58] isnt it weird that şs doesnt show files? [22:58] *ls [22:58] you really dont want to pay atention to my problem, because if u read carefuly u will understand what i am saying [22:58] eertre: it will make a partition for swap and the rest for / (includes all folders), if you want to setup your own partitions then choose manual partitioning (something else) and set it up how you wish [22:58] itaylor57, XFCE is like what GNOME2 should have been :) [22:59] so, I have been having some weird theme issues with XFCE [22:59] where or when can i do that [22:59] eertre: its part of the installation, read the screen [22:59] some programs have the "regular" "nice" GTK theme that I would expect, and some have this really old GTK1.x looking square theme [22:59] beaglebr1ath, clear > /dev/pts/* [22:59] looks almost like tcl/tk but not quite as ugly [22:59] no, u dont want to listen to me, serious ... can i private you? [23:00] specifically rhythmbox was looking weird [23:00] excalibour: sudo nano /usr/share/vlc/lua/http/.hosts [23:00] when u choose ERASE WINDOWS, i have no option to format or partitioning harddisk [23:00] I installed Clearwaite (i think is the name) which has a GTK3 component, but now synaptic looks ugly! lol XD [23:00] anyone know what's up with this theme wonkiness? [23:00] eertre: YES It will set a default set of partitions of it's own choosing. Like I already said [23:00] ActionParsnip>> i vim ed to /etc/vlc/http/.hosts [23:01] tryuing your alternative now ActionParsnip [23:01] eph3meral, you should probably check with whoever made the theme. Also, you still haven't really told us what's wrong. [23:01] and or, how would I check, using the command line, what GTK theme(s) are currently active for each version [23:01] eertre: so I have no idea were you are getting that I am not reading your replies [23:01] hi there [23:01] so when i choose ERASE WINDOWS, it will FORMAT and RE-PARTITION my harddisk on his own choose? [23:01] blz, uhh, sorry, I thought I did - some programs have the "regular" "nice" GTK theme that I would expect, and some have this really old GTK1.x looking square theme [23:02] I used to have a program sort of like lanmap however it worked off of showing you a real-time 2d display of selectable protocols. The program would map out a network and show usage. I think I had it in some distro a few years back but cant remember for the life of me what it was called. Any help would be appreciated. [23:02] eertre: yes, it will determine the partitioning for you and format them appropriately [23:02] the implication being that what is "wrong" is that I don't want any apps to have the old GTK1.x looking square theme when I know they should look like the nice/latest theme [23:02] eertre: like I ALREADY said [23:02] gr33n7007h: thanks, but clear doesn't accept any other arguments. I've got the redirect output from one pts to another figured out. but now I'd like to have a command execute from a different /dev/pts. :) [23:02] eph3meral, A screenshot would help. [23:02] eertre: ALL partitions will be removed. [23:02] ActionParsnip, i understand, and it will partition based on what? on a 750 gb how it will look like ?! [23:02] eertre: so WAS I reading what youo wrote? [23:03] stevenmeyer, is it etherape [23:03] you probably read, but u didnt wanted to talk in many words so u can give ma complete response :pp [23:03] eertre: so where does "(23:59:40) eertre: no, u dont want to listen to me, serious ... can i private you?" come from? [23:03] eph3meral, and you generally want to check with the theme developer to know what the dependencies are. Sounds like you're probably missing a library of some sort. [23:03] eertre: when it's clearly not the case [23:03] Thank you so much!!!! [23:04] eertre: if you give me any sort of attitude when you are clearly WRONG, I will not hesitate in making you look like a complete ASS. [23:04] ActionParsnip: u rule, u listen, u the best helper, u are a god of helpers ... but tell me please, if i decide to do my own partitions, where and when and how can i do it? [23:04] lol ... [23:04] eertre: the partitions will be 1x RAM for swap and the rest in Ext4 for / [23:04] * blz gets lawn chair and popcorn [23:05] I would love some popcorn. [23:05] about how long does it take toi install 11.10? [23:05] ActionParsnip, and the [23:05] so the swap will be 4 GB, and the rest will be formated in ext4 ?! [23:06] Ali1_apac, about 20 min here depends on your download speed and if you run with updates included. [23:06] eertre: if you want something more extravagant (like a seperate /home partition) you will need to select to do something else, write a new partition table then setup the partitions as you need [23:06] Ali1_apac, a few minutes [23:06] eertre: yes, if you have 4Gb ram you will get 4Gb swap (for hibernate etc) and the rest for / formatted Ext4 [23:06] beaglebr1ath, I don't understand what you mean [23:06] eertre, basic partitioning considerations [23:06] so this way i will only have 2 partitions ?! [23:07] neither version of eclipse I have is able to download packages in ubuntu 11.10 although they could in the past... they are essentially not able to reach the internet... I've tried the obvious settings in Eclipse so now I turn to ubuntu... any suggestions? [23:07] :vsp [23:07] where is the config for my icons on the launcher? [23:07] eertre, by default, Ubuntu will create two partitions: / and swap [23:07] bitpimp, are you able to reach the internet from a regular console? [23:08] if you change nothing, that's what you'll get [23:08] eertre: if you select to use the whole drive, yes [23:08] * gr33n7007h is eating Tandoori Chicken [23:08] ActionParsnip. now i can prove the fact that u dont read what people say to you, and you look like an ASS: ActionParsnip: u rule, u listen, u the best helper, u are a god of helpers ... but tell me please, if i decide to do my own partitions, where and when and how can i do it? [23:08] i asked u a lot of times to tell me where i can do that === dmogle is now known as Guest48311 [23:08] "cat /proc/mdstat" says 116414912 blocks [2/1] [U_] ;anyone knows what the [U_] stands for? [23:08] whattup, how do force Precise Pangolin (12.04) to be installed via command line? [23:08] eertre: its part of the installation, just read the screen and you'll be fine [23:08] SDr: Your RAID is broken, you only have one disk active. [23:08] physically_fit: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please [23:08] <`prixon> I'm using 11.10 and I had 11.04 on another partition (on the same HD as the 11.10). I deleted this filesystem partition and formatted it to ntfs because I coudln't access/write to that partition, but unfortunately that didn't help. now I still have a partition that I can't write to. I tried using some advices from forums and sites, but to no avail. what can I do? I tried something like "sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition" and [23:08] <`prixon> "sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition" but nothing changes. I still have no permission to write to this empty partition. the diskutility app says that the usage of this partition is Filesystem. could this be the problem? how can I change the permissions? loading nautilus with sudo also didn't help [23:09] ActionParsnip, thankie [23:09] is there any video tutorial for this !? [23:09] SDr, that is the size of your memory device, aka flash [23:09] SDr: thats nonsense. [23:09] eertre: the GUI is massively simple. If you just have a go you'll be fine. You have nothing to lose as none of the data is needed [23:10] SDr, wait guess not, my arm doesn't have that, its /proc/mtd on there [23:10] Barnabas: yes [23:10] `prixon: how did you mount your partition? [23:10] i can lose a well organized hard drive, a well and smooth working of ubuntu for lack of space to work how it wants to do and so on ... [23:10] Barnabas: web/ping/irc all intact [23:10] <`prixon> through nautilus i think [23:10] eertre, what exactly are you trying to do?

[23:11] `prixon: open a terminal and paste the outpout of: mount [23:11] Damn, irc is still alive, back to 1998 :-) [23:11] Oledole, still works too :P [23:11] I have tmux running with the screen split three ways. each of the screens are attached to /dev/pts/1 /dev/pts/2 /dev/pts/3. I'd like to use /dev/pts/3 as a place to issue commands to a variety of electronics attached to the serial ports and have their responces appear on a /dev/pts/2. I'd also like to issue a command from /dev/pts/3 and have it execute on /dev/pts/2. [23:11] SDr: Your raid devices are broken. You have a RAID1 spanning two disks, and in both RAID1 groups you have lost one device. [23:12] <`prixon> schnuffle, here or in private? cause it's a bit long [23:12] blz, i have a hard of 750 GB with win 7 on it ... i want to format it all ( ALL ALL - i dont need anything, including windows) and i want to install a fresh copy of ubuntu .. my hard has 3 partitions ... C with 350 D with 200 and E with 150 .. woulnd be good to keep this way of partitioning also in ubuntu ? if yes, how do i do it ?! this was my question [23:12] eertre: the drive will never be lost, unless it mechanically fails [23:12] ActionParsnip>> i edited the .hosts file with vim and added 2 lan ips. how do istart service as u mentioned before?

[23:12] Cool [23:12] excalibour: why not just use the netmask, you can do it by IP but using the mask is a bit easier [23:12] eertre, have you used linux or ubuntu before? [23:12] <`prixon> got you [23:13] just wondering, before I dive it =) [23:13] yes, but only on LIVEUSB [23:13] *in [23:13] ah okay [23:13] <`prixon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/919694/ [23:13] eertre: the OS will rarely use more than 6Gb HDD space.... [23:13] ActionParsnip>> only 2 pc s at the moment so easy to add 2 lines. what should i do now [23:13] ActionParsnip, i understand ... [23:13] eertre, Okay, so I'll start with the question "is this a good way of partitioning ubuntu". The answer to that is "it doesn't sound bad, but it depends on what you want to do" [23:13] <`prixon> SaveDisk is the one i'm talking about [23:14] `prixon: your disk is mounted readonly [23:14] excalibour: close vlc, start it up again and you should be ok [23:14] bekks, "SDr: Your raid devices are broken. You have a RAID1 spanning two disks, and in both RAID1 groups you have lost one device." -there should be only 1 RAID1 group [23:14] as for the rest, the best recommendation I can give you is to start the installer (preferably from a live cd/usb, because the graphical installer is easier to understand) and just play with it. It's very safe and it'll be fairly obvious [23:14] SDr: There are two. md0 and md1. [23:14] what do you mean by "both RAID1" groups? [23:14] <`prixon> indeed, that's what I'm trying to change [23:14] i just want 3 almoust same space partitions where on one i can keep my system, in one i can keep my media and in one i can keep my work ... at least this is how it was on windows [23:14] <`prixon> but to no avail yet [23:15] `prixon: to mount it rw unmount it and remount it with folloing command: sudo -t ntfs-3g mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SaveDisk [23:15] ActionParsnip>> how will i do that from cli? i am on windows , box is another pc [23:15] SDr: both, md0 and md1 are degraded, but still working, with one of two underlying physical disk devices. [23:15] eertre, fair enough. In that case, you'll want to name your system partition "/" (without the quotes) [23:15] excalibour: kill the process and start it how you normally do [23:15] and you will need to create a swap partition too [23:15] actually [23:15] sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/SaveDisk [23:16] eertre: if you delete one of the partitions, you can install ubuntu there and dual boot :) [23:16] eertre, i'll pm you so we don't flood the living hell out of this channel [23:16] blz, please d [23:16] people, from where does the CANONICAL LTD. name comes from !? [23:16] <`prixon> I'm unable to unmount it now... I get: Daemon is inhibited [23:16] <`prixon> that's weird [23:16] <`prixon> ohy [23:16] <`prixon> just a sec [23:17] prixon: any program like nautilus showing the disk? quit them [23:17] eertre: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/C/canonical.html [23:17] <`prixon> so "sudo -t ntfs-3g mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SaveDisk" or "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/SaveDisk"? [23:17] ActionParsnip>>i think i dont a running vlc service. can u have a look at : http://pastebin.com/vdEnb2fv [23:18] prixon: the second [23:18] <`prixon> I get: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/SaveDisk: No such file or directory [23:18] excalibour: if the system has no X server, how is it going to display? [23:19] prixon: or to mirror the option you had before: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fmask=0177 /dev/sdb1 /media/SaveDisk [23:19] prixon: create a directory [23:19] i was thinking server would serve the client web based gui [23:19] prixon: I'm off for some mintes [23:20] <`prixon> ok schnuffle.. I still get a "fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/SaveDisk: No such file or directory" for the last command you wrote me [23:20] fromm that definition of the term they named their company, ActionParsnip? [23:20] ActionParsnip>> like subsonic does [23:21] is `sudo -H some_gui_program` safe? I know sudo shouldn't be used with graphical programs, however the -H option sets HOME=/root. Would it then be safe to run stuff with `sudo -H` or could it still cause problems? [23:21] (other than the obvious problems caused by using sudo in a destructive way) [23:22] prixon: sudo mkdir /media/SaveDisk [23:23] eertre: its what the word means, otherwise not sure [23:23] <`prixon> wow! [23:24] `prixon: ? [23:24] <`prixon> how did that work!? [23:24] `prixon: what?
