[00:00] I would think that 22 would have to be open for it to connect? [00:00] Muelli: Ha ha! This is horrible. It segfaults when trying to use ubuntu-bug [00:02] hello [00:02] blnk: Port 22 has to be open on the server, not on the client. [00:02] ugh. well reCAPTCHA_. You seem to be screwed then. Have you (manually) installed any newer or older libraries like glib or GTK+? I.e. can you do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" w/o it wanting to install or remove anything? [00:03] ah, okay. So why would it be timing out? My suspicion is that my service provider might be blocking the port. but thats only speculation [00:03] blnk: it sounds like you've forwarded port 22 to the wrong machine, as said, it has to be open on the server, not the client [00:04] blnk: why is it timing out? because you're hitting a brick wall due to port 22 not being open [00:04] reCAPTCHA_: I'm off, so my last hints are: run gdb and see where it crashes, i.e. in which library. Then try to figure out why that is and reinstall the library plus its bindings. [00:04] I forwarded port 22 to port 22 on the same IP i see when I put "ifconfig" in the terminal [00:04] Google: ssh home server howto - About 9,020,000 results (0.28 seconds) [00:04] huh? [00:05] i agree, you need to do some reading on port fwarding and SSH [00:05] I've already googled and read several how-tos that dont work [00:07] I guess the only thing I can try is have a friend try to connect to see if my "brick wall" is on my phone carriers end === Acid190 is now known as canon [00:08] need some help with eclipse it isn't using openjdk i tried export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64 [00:08] with no luck can someone assist [00:08] how do i connect to wifi via console ? [00:08] L3top: Sorry had to reboot. Not a good idea to stop the service even though forum posts said so :P [00:08] whoever: don't do that. Use update-alternatives or "update-java-alternative" or the like. [00:08] wifi is wpa2 with password [00:09] DennisRas: what gave that error on display 0 thing [00:09] DennisRas: trying to create an xorg.conf?

[00:29] whoever: so, that command fails in the same way for me, and I have Java working just fine [00:29] kevins[webchat]: I installed KDE-plasma-desktop using synaptic, and logged off. [00:30] Now I can't log into my account [00:30] the screen goes black and then back to the user accounts screen. [00:30] whoever: so, look into whether or not "java -h" returns anything. If so, re-configure eclipse, and manually tell it where java is [00:30] @yummy1 thanks. But what's wrong with a normal Ubuntu setup that I use remote screen to get to? [00:30] diodex: can you log into a raw console? [00:31] kevins[webchat]: yes, but it'd close irc, hold on, lemme start it on my phone [00:31] •Carson• you can install free-nx [00:32] and control u'r server [00:32] Are updates really mandatory?

It should launch even without finding the jvm, to give you a blank project [00:34] wassy121_: thats my prop telling eclipse how to find it [00:34] whoever: maybe there is a .eclipse folder errantly in your home directory, messing it up [00:34] AHOY [00:35] wassy121_: yep new [00:35] whoever: what's your java version, ubuntu version, and eclipse version/install path. That might help pinpoint [00:35] guys is there way to install new version to rtorrent without comiling? [00:35] wassy121_: no i get a meesage box telling me that it cant find a jvm and when i click ok it quits [00:36] i orignally compile the version 0.89 myself long time ago and now want to update [00:36] yummy1 sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [00:36] someone tell diodex| that I have to go, anyone willing to pick up from where we are? test his desktop environment settings. [00:36] wassy121_: 7 [00:36] •MonkeyDust• 0.9.0 isn't in apt-get update [00:36] diodex|: sorry about that. [00:36] Ah [00:36] So will that allow me to restart the server and such? Problem with the rtorrent idea is that I need to download more than just torrents. I want to go FreeNAS and download that for example. [00:36] And I'm back. [00:36] yummy1 what's wrong with the version in the repo? [00:37] some trackers don't support it.. its old [00:37] diodex|: can you log in? If you can't, consider backing up and reinstalling a copy of ubuntu. [00:37] •Carson• you use the frontend called rutorrent [00:37] diodex, [00:37] or wassy121_ java -version won't return anything bud javac will [00:37] I am in tty [00:37] diodex|: success? [00:38] But I can't log in to gui [00:38] I get a black screen then I'm kicked back to the login [00:39] whoever: look for a file called "java_home" in $ECLIPSE_INSTALL_PATH/etc or maybe /etc/eclipse [00:39] diodex|: try removing plasma. [00:39] wassy121_: ubuntu 11.10 eclipse -version brings up that error message [00:39] whoever: and note the output of `which java` [00:39] Eh, how do I exit tty? [00:40] wassy121_: should i delete the ~.eclipse folder [00:40] whoever: you can also use tricks like "dpkg -S $(which java)" or "dpkg -S $(which eclipse)" [00:40] diodex|: run shutdown. or alt-f1 (i think) [00:40] whoever: I would move it, not delete it. In case it holds something you want later. [00:40] whoever: won't hurt to be empty/non-existant either way [00:41] is there any way to specify a file to a .sh when it doesnt find it automatically? [00:42] .sh filename.sh ? [00:42] i installed studio precise beta and then i installed and started using gnome classic mode, now there is still a bunch of stuff from the other window manager left over, how do i remove that?

Sorry. Been trying to keep fighting with this issue so had to reboot a couple of times. Anyway I finally got an xorg.conf file now [00:44] whoever: looks like it is named "eclipse.ini" . Find that file, point it to the right Java VM [00:45] DennisRas: I'm here [00:45] what is the result of having an xorg.conf, and does grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg return a result as intel or vesa (ignoring those not applicable) [00:46] wassy121_: when i was looking to see what openjdk calls there vm i couldnt find it [00:46] DennisRas: also please give me the output of lspci | grep VGA [00:46] whoever: I don't understand what you mean by that. [00:47] I installed kde and stopped being able to log in. Removing kde did not help [00:47] I can log in to root, but not my account [00:47] L3top: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) === microp11|snowed is now known as microp11 [00:48] wassy121_: i removed the .eclipse folder and nothing changed [00:48] wassy121_: should i reinsall eclipse [00:48] whoever: the vm binary path is shown by "which java". Look for eclipse.ini, I think it's in /etc/eclipse maybe? [00:49] whoever: you don't need to. [00:49] whoever: try "dpkg -L eclipse | grep ini" [00:49] wassy121_: openjdk, i don't know what they named there vm [00:49] i don't think they named it jvm [00:49] L3top: /etc/X11/xorg doesn't exist [00:50] so sorry, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:50] whoever: The "name" of the vm doesn't matter. You just need the answer to "where does java live", which can be found with "which java" [00:50] Hello, after installing kde, I can no longer log in to my account [00:51] L3top: http://pastebin.com/4WbPQyvF [00:51] yummy1 yes [00:51] that was a terrible grep. DennisRas: apt-get install pastebinit if you have not already, and lspci -vv | grep VGA |pastebinit [00:51] Was that an autoresponse? [00:51] nope [00:52] I expected a bit more detail from the original grep I asked for [00:52] Oh I see [00:52] So, can nobody help me? [00:52] wassy121_: dpkg-L eclipse | grep ini returns nothing [00:52] that xorg.conf is totally hosed [00:52] i'm running a .sh that says can't find a file that is on the folder :S any clues? [00:53] whoever: how about look through "dpkg -L eclipse | less" , and just look for something that looks like a conf file [00:53] or... you have one of those weirdo boards with two gpus [00:53] I have no idea [00:53] whoever: maybe grep for etc, or conf, or something like that [00:53] please do the previous request. Then please pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:54] I just got the laptop and I wanted to give Ubuntu a try as a developer.

Do I just add it anywhere in the config file? [00:58] Hello, after installing kde I can't login to my account [00:58] Removing it didn't help [00:58] L3top: I keep reading something about setting i915 modeset to 0, could this be it? [01:00] wassy121_: just to give you a heads up it didn't recreate the .eclIpse folder and still no sign of a .ini or .conf [01:00] so will have to do some purging [01:00] L3top: nevermind. Apparently when I use nomodeset it's the same as setting i915 modeset to 0, but apparently I'm using vesa now instead of the intel driver?! [01:01] I'm trying to get KDE ubuntu running. It sees the KB but the KB does not work properly. Its an IBM PC104 but I have another and while it also does not work properly it works differently. Any ideas? Should I ask in KDE? [01:03] i'm running a .sh that says can't find a file that is on the folder :S any clues? [01:04] Sorry DennisRas, I have a lot going on here. This was why I wanted the xorg.conf... to fix this oddball use of both intel and vesa drivers and whetever the hell fbdev is. === PerfecT41646 is now known as Resources [01:05] I needed the verbose version of your lspci to determine if your chipset uses two gpus [01:05] L3top: don't worry. I got time and I appreciate your time [01:06] help* [01:06] L3top: Do you still need something from me or? [01:07] Hello, after installing kde I can no longer log in to my own account [01:07] I'm flying around the forums, but no luck there. Most I don't understand, rest is not related to this machine [01:08] diodex|: I have a KB problem. Some of the keys do not work right. Might be the same.

[01:10] I am currently in root [01:10] L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/921132/ [01:11] diodex|: see if you cna get root access adn create a alternate useer ID for now. Try moving your /etc/passwd or the shawdow and re-create your password... also check inside amd make sure its still corect [01:11] I'm trying to get KDE ubuntu running. It sees the KB but the KB does not work properly. Its an IBM PC104 but I have another and while it also does not work properly it works differently. Any ideas? Should I ask in KDE?

[01:14] Just the laptop itself [01:14] hi [01:14] wassy121_: still no conf or ini, and didn't recrate the .eclipse file, any ideas [01:14] I used an external with windows7 though [01:14] what are some small cool projects i coudl do with a vps?

I don't want to log in to anything to get the raw text, nor do I care to edit out each line numberrr [01:15] L3top: I don't understand the 3 monitor part either [01:15] well... chances are there is a vga/DVI/hdmi port on the laptop [01:15] now that I know it is a laptop [01:16] hi any one know about this problem?

[01:19] DennisRas: before I give you this, for fun, please cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bu [01:19] L3top: done, already got several backups [01:19] Who's great idea was it to finally do away with the Tutorials and Tips section on the forums to further fragment the Ubuntu experience? [01:20] And can't really screw it up, because this is a fresh installation with 0 configuration so it's just a reset in case [01:20] what are some small cool projects i coudl do with a vps? [01:20] Can you use a separate boot partition for multiple distros? [01:20] hi! im trying to use socket programming examples on the net. i have two computers for that. i can use computer A as server and B as client; but I cant use computer A as client and B as server (I receive "Couldnt bind to port" error).

[01:22] DennisRas: please give http://pastebin.com/0v95g0Sr a shot as /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:22] Cihhan is there a firewall between the computer [01:22] I can however connect through my ISP's router via LAN [01:22] kevdog: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=100 it's still there [01:22] If it has disasterous results, tell me it went swimmingly and see if anyone else can help you further, it is my best guess [01:23] shammancer: hmm good question -- im new to linux, how can i understand if there is a firewall activated? [01:23] L3top: changed all 3 to intel? [01:23] thats how I roll. Using the actual hardware supplied and identified [01:23] what are some small cool projects i coudl do with a vps?

[01:25] shammancer: hmm they are in the office -- they are using the same router [01:26] had_matter, its not managed by the network manager any more because you overrode it by editing that file perhaps? [01:26] had_matter, what are you trying to acomplish? [01:27] Did you install any firewall packages or anti virus software? [01:27] work time for me.. be back laters. [01:27] had_matter: Whats the problem? I jumped in late to the conversation [01:27] DR_willis: i kinda thought that, so i went back to the original file contents. "network not managed" disapears but i cannot access the internet through lan. [01:28] shammancer|: i havent, but maybe someone else did -- let me check it [01:28] the trouble is this. i can connect to the internet via WLAN. [01:28] hey all... can anyone tell me how, after a recent upgrade, browser audio is distorted (but audio in other apps isn't)? Is this a common problem? is there a known fix? [01:28] I can connect to the internet directly through modem [01:29] but i cannot connect to the internet LAN through router. other computers can [01:29] Had_matter are your is your computer plugged into a lan port on your router [01:29] yes. both are in front of me [01:30] if i unplug the ethernet coming from the modem direct into the laptop no problem [01:30] had_matter: why did you edit /etc/network/interfaces? [01:30] Had_matter Ok open the terminal and enter ifconfig [01:31] Ok laptop lan port wan port modem [01:31] but if i connect through the router, nfg [01:31] hello ,this morning ,i find this message in /var/log/auth.log [01:32] had_matter: more importantly, what did you change the interfaces file to say? [01:32] ifconfig entered [01:32] is there a date for 12 to get relesad , i head that it was this month [01:32] !12.04 | whoever [01:32] whoever: 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 [01:32] "Address 221.204.192.55 maps to 55.192.204.221.adsl-pool.sx.cn, but this does not map back to the CompyThe~ address - Pici POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!" [01:32] anyone know or have had experience with timidity problems?? [01:32] what's wrong? [01:32] Hello [01:32] the interfaces file was updated for auto dhcp [01:33] Good [01:33] I need some help. Is there any possible way that I can setup my system to autokill a proccess if it reaches 100% ? I'm having some troubles with minecraft. [01:33] what does a beginner of ubuntu practice? [01:33] had_matter: then you realize that the use of wicd or NetworkManager is no longer possible, right? [01:33] Bash [01:34] guest-0rXPsi: using the system to do something useful [01:34] i gathered that. [01:34] had_matter: wasn't sure. [01:34] wassy121_: still herre? any i deas after removing purging eclipse , it didnot recreate the .eclipse folder and still the same error that it cantt find jvm [01:34] what would cause something like that. [01:34] hi [01:34] I'm trying to run some java app but the gui only displays the screen, no buttons [01:35] Hello everyone [01:35] had_matter: if it's set to dhcp, then you should get an IP after rebooting the system [01:35] Does anyone know how to autokill a java process (minecraft) if it reaches more than 100% CPU ? [01:35] imo - better to install eclipse from eclipse download page instead of repo [01:35] I am having some trouble with xubuntu beta2 installer [01:35] had_matter: you say that the ubuntu system is connected via ethernet to a LAN port on the cable modem? [01:35] is there any way to setup my system to do that? [01:35] xmls, have you considered the use of nice when starting minecraft? [01:36] what's nice? [01:36] xmls: it cannot attain more than 100% cpu usage [01:36] had_matter: Lets just get some basics straight -- you got a computer (wired or wireless?) connecting through router to the world at large [01:36] Gnea, yesterday it was using 201% CPU. [01:36] man nice in terminal [01:36] and it became unresponsive. [01:36] xmls: what program told you this? [01:36] !nice | xmls [01:36] xmls: 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. [01:36] had_matter: You've tried dhcp I take it -- what happens? You don't get assigned an address via the router, or is your network card not even working? [01:37] so how would I exactly run minecraft with nice? [01:37] xmls: the manpage will tell you how [01:37] man page. [01:37] got a problem with cd/dvd rom [01:37] why cant it be a womanpage. [01:37] lol [01:37] the cdrom will mount a disc with content on it [01:38] man is short for 'manual' [01:38] but if i put in a blank disk it does nothing [01:38] L3top: Didn't help. Couldn't even boot with nomodeset so had to recover xorg.conf.bu [01:38] womanual. [01:38] whoa.. [01:38] well this is problem if i launch brasero to burn an iso it cant find a disc [01:39] Do i need to reinstall silly games in order to run a stable operating system? [01:39] thank you for helping me ~ [01:39] but does this solve my problem? [01:39] according to disk utility; i'm seeing a SMART warning that disk failure is imminent. i'd like a second opinion as this lenovo t420 is less than a year old and powered on time is only 94.3 days. apparently there are 1446 bad sectors and the reallocated sector count is 1444. its a 500gb drive. [01:39] So I asked this earlier but was interrupted before I could get help. I can't seem to get my headset to run in its 7.1 surround sound mode (the option doesn't even display). I can do it in 5.1 and everything else works well, I'd just like to be able to use the headset's full capabilities. My mobo can run 8 channel and my headset actually has its own sound card built in, so I can't understand why it isn't working. [01:39] if it reaches 100%, it'll autokill itself? [01:40] test [01:41] this is an annoying problem [01:41] i have done this three times so far today: install ubuntu 11.10 x64, dist-upgrade, reboot, install nvidia through jockey, reboot, install gnome and gnome-shell, install cinnamon, dist-upgrade, remove games and banshee/gwibber [01:41] im guessing it has something todo with firmware [01:41] loticdescant77: have you tried k3b? [01:42] back. unplanned reboot [01:42] panels and window borders all go away, so i log into gnomeshell, which is glitchy. if i try to search it kicks me back to desktop, a few tries and i lose everything but the wallpaper and have to log out/in [01:42] nah didnt want to install all those kde depends [01:43] last time i left gwibber and banshee because it wanted to remove ubuntu core and something else, still crashed [01:44] ill give it a shot but dont think itll work [01:44] I'm trying to run some java app but the gui only displays the screen, no buttons [01:44] ill have to muck around and figure out what the dvdrom verion is and see if i can install firmware or now [01:45] whoever: what exact version of eclipse are you using? You need to find out where it puts the config file. http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-11.10/ubuntu-universe-amd64/eclipse-platform_3.7.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.html seems to indicate it is in /etc/eclipse.ini . Where did you get the package? "dpkg -L eclipse | grep etc" should reveal something? [01:47] ok here's my situation. i can connect to internet via wifi through router. I can conect to internet via ethernet through modem. i cannot connect to internet via ethernet though router on this unit (others can). [01:47] any thoughts?

[01:49] I have been getting this error and packages that need timidity will not install correctly [01:49] This is not a sandy bridge by chance is it DennisRas [01:50] What's that? [01:50] according to disk utility; i'm seeing a SMART warning that disk failure is imminent. i'd like a second opinion as this lenovo t420 is less than a year old and powered on time is only 94.3 days. apparently there are 1446 bad sectors and the reallocated sector count is 1444. its a 500gb drive.... here is output of smartmontools: https://gist.github.com/2340773 [01:50] An intel graphics chipset which keeps me up at night. [01:50] L3top: Nah I doubt it [01:51] wylde, hey rhytmbox is working great for me [01:51] But can't you like force Ubuntu to use the intel driver? I don't get why it goes back to vesa === irdx is now known as irdxafk [01:53] brianp1992: gald to hear :) No problems with djmount either? [01:53] glad* [01:53] i installed studio precise beta and then i installed and started using gnome classic mode, now there is still a bunch of stuff from the other window manager left over, how do i remove that? [01:54] paste.ubuntu.com/921169/ [01:54] wylde, nope it all works perfect, but hey do you know anything about flash and chromium? [01:54] Xorg is evidently suggesting that for certain operation, vesa and the one I have never encountered are the best choice for the given output. I find it no more logical than you... however without the safety of the platform I develop on, I am unfortunately out of answers [01:55] brianp1992: not really no. I haven't had any issues, so I haven't had to deal with it "yet". lol [01:56] wylde: it says that i need adobe flash, so i guess ill look around lol [01:56] hmmm... [01:56] L3top: Any suggestions as to what I do ? Can't believe I can't use Ubuntu... that would be pretty lame considering the fact that Win7 is running just fine [01:57] ^ [01:57] how do I change my name [01:57] testing56: test [01:57] guest-0rXPsi: /nick newnick [01:58] DennisRas: having problems with intel driver? [01:58] Yes I guess [01:58] Where can I find bash? [01:59] arooni-mobile: I've had one disk that pre warned a smart failure and later it did completely fail about 4 weeks or so later. it just had video and stuf on it so I ignored it. I later realized it had some other data I needed. I got it working by just removing and reconnecting all connectors. it's now been working for months [01:59] DennisRas: I guess? [01:59] testing56: test [01:59] kevdog: Well then it's a yes. [01:59] guest-0rXPsi: /bin/bash [01:59] Hi guys, I know this is not an ubuntu question but just to know: have you managed a SAP module? [01:59] kevdog: if I knew what the problem was I would look for a solution, so that's why I say "I guess" [01:59] microp11: perhaps you should be doing that in #test [02:00] DennisRas: whats the problem [02:00] sacarlson, so if its under warranty from lenovo i should just replace it hh [02:00] Black screen after the logo. A problem with x [02:01] DennisRas: Ok -- I've had that too -- Can you at least hit f6 to get to a terminal to type commands? [02:01] What do I do after I open the Terminal? [02:01] Hi.. [02:01] guest-0rXPsi: What do you want to do? [02:01] kevdog: same as ctrl+alt+f1 you mean? and yes [02:02] DennisRas: sure whatever works -- do you know the video driver you are using? [02:02] I don't know where to start. [02:02] hi. I'm giving instructions to someone to boot to an ubuntu usb. They are in but need to test the sound. Whats the easiest way for me to tell them to test the sound? (I'm using 10.04,, so I cant give good instructions for unity) THanks [02:02] kevdog: use or want to use? [02:03] DennisRas: lshw -C video will give you the name of the driver the OS is trying to load automatically. What is it? [02:03] So I asked this earlier but was interrupted before I could get help. I can't seem to get my headset to run in its 7.1 surround sound mode (the option doesn't even display). I can do it in 5.1 and everything else works well, I'd just like to be able to use the headset's full capabilities. My mobo can run 8 channel and my headset actually has its own sound card built in, so I can't understand why it isn't working. [02:03] L3top: actually.. now the driver is unknown [02:05] kevdog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/921178/ [02:05] DennisRas: What's it listing as your VGA controller? [02:05] hi,all .how can I get the Precise packages by the apt-get way, where it the package list uri for precise? [02:06] kevdog: What do you mean? [02:06] DennisRas: What does lshw -C video give you? [02:07] I just pasted it to you (the link) [02:07] ... how the hell did my file system just switch to read only? [02:07] im low on disk space [02:07] df -h is showing space though [02:08] (afraid to restart) [02:09] kevdog: I'll get back to you later if you're on, gonna try a couple of things. [02:09] DennisRas: Aw-- I see that -- wow I'm going to have to look up what the product you are looking is? You say you can boot into windows -- does it give you any info on the model #? [02:10] brb [02:12] numbus: cow test [02:12] is it possible to install android apps (.apk) in ubuntu [02:12] testing56 OH yeah cow! :) [02:12] black on black, not good, one more color to fix [02:12] brianp1992: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pZUCKt0RKc [02:13] 1992 was a good year for someone i used to know [02:13] brianp1992, just if you have some android "emulator" or something, I guess [02:13] brianp1992: Only if using an emulator [02:13] testing56: also the green on black not too good [02:13] numbus: black on black, not good on .me [02:13] are there good emulators out there? [02:13] testing56: the same [02:14] numbus: strage there shouldn't be any green on black, strange [02:14] brianp1992: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r15-linux.tgz [02:14] numbus: no worries, will further look into [02:14] nice [02:14] what os does it run on? [02:14] oh wow [02:15] gentoo probably isnt compatible [02:15] android sdk is really heavy and compicated ive looked in to it, are there any other options? [02:16] brianp1992: http://www.honeynet.org/downloads/Android.tar.gz [02:16] brianp1992: http://redmine.honeynet.org/projects/are/wiki [02:16] testing56: just a "Sans" looks good for me [02:16] alright thanks [02:17] np [02:17] ok i need to do a restart and NEED fsck to run on startup [02:17] how do i go about doing that? [02:17] !fsck | BryanRuiz [02:17] BryanRuiz: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [02:18] * BryanRuiz is afraid my hard drive is about to fial [02:19] crap.. [02:19] i cant do that [02:19] because my system is locked in read only for some reason [02:20] * BryanRuiz sighs [02:20] well yeah i guess thats one way to do it, virtualbox [02:21] BryanRuiz: log in as root and then run the command [02:21] sudo -s [02:21] hello people [02:21] can you provide me the file ubuntu.session? === hybrid is now known as o0o0o [02:22] is the flash plugin stuttering for anyone else (flash videos)? [02:22] please [02:22] Can someone please help? I need to find a quick way to play audio in ubuntu 11.10. I just need to play something but be able to give someone easy instructions to do it. [02:22] not all youtube videos work w/ the html5 player and/or youtube keeps forgetting that I prefer the html5 player [02:22] Hi, why apache2 always downloads stuff ? [02:22] wifioregon: is there something keeping you from playing audio, or do you want a recommendation for what to use on a working installation? [02:23] PHP files, at least [02:23] I installed and enabled php5 [02:23] but, I go to the folder, it downloads something called "download" (happened 5 times?) [02:23] gear4: did you try installing phpmyadmin ? [02:24] Shirakawasuna: use a plugin for firefox called "flashvideoreplacer" [02:24] sacarlson, no [02:24] hello, i am trying to setup a ircd but when i boot it up i get a bind error saying permisson denied however when i ran another daemon as root it binded perfectly, how can i change it so users can run servers? [02:24] should I ? [02:25] curiousx: I use chromium [02:25] Shirakawasuna: Nothing is keeping me from playing audio. Im giving a newb instructions...but I want to give him easy instructions on how to play something [02:25] gear4: it always seems to fix that problem for me. so it's worth a try [02:25] sacarlson, kk [02:25] I'll try [02:26] any idea's on how i can allow users to bind [02:26] sacarlson, no, never changed anything [02:27] wifioregon: well default install of 11.10 comes with banshee, a music player. That should work. [02:27] Also, sacarlson: The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server. [02:27] Waitr [02:27] Wait [02:27] gear4: what method did you use to install apache? [02:27] NVM [02:27] wifioregon: there are tons of options, though. I prefer clementine myself for playing music from my library and vlc as a swiss army knife for any video/audio [02:27] sacarlson, apt-get [02:28] sacarlson, phpmyadmin works, nothing else with PHP [02:28] gear4: oh so you can now bring up phpmyadmin site? [02:28] sacarlson, yes [02:29] sacarlson, but, not my work .. [02:29] Shirakawasuna: The person is just testing the audio card...they dont want to have to download a song or anything...in windows you can just change the volume and hear something...you cant do that in ubuntu? [02:29] gear4: and what url did you use to try to access phpmyadmin? [02:30] sacarlson, http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ [02:30] wifioregon: if you go in to the sound preferences, you'll find a test sound [02:30] gear4: that won't bring up the login page? what version of ubuntu are you running? [02:31] sacarlson, I said, phpmyadmin works. Not my other stuff [02:31] gear4: oh then it must be your files then. php is working fine [02:31] hello [02:31] running a java app [02:32] sacarlson, it's index.php [02:32] but it does not display components such as buttons [02:32] what can I do?

[02:32] curiousx: THANKS [02:32] sacarlson, yes [02:32] np [02:33] sacarlson, even empty doesn't work [02:33] gear4: can you pastebin the contents of index.php [02:33] gear4: and that also fails? maybe it's a permision problem [02:33] anyone know my java app does not work ???? [02:33] sacarlson, can't be [02:33] wylde, there's nothing in it [02:33] gear4: why can't it?

It should show a blank page. [02:34] sacarlson, there's nothing in it [02:34] wylde, replied that to sacarlson [02:34] gear4: well add the test line you want me to look it up for you? [02:34] look up how to add something ? [02:35] phpinfo(); ? [02:35] Now not even phpmyadmin works -_- [02:36] gear4: how could phpmyadmin work and stop working? what did you change? [02:36] hi [02:36] sacarlson, I change nothing [02:36] hi [02:36] here is a screenshot of the application [02:36] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_090412_-_03_35_26-rp3tN4vR.png [02:36] gear4: yes phpinfo but what do you add around it? [02:36] sacarlson, apparently PHP wasn't installed ? [02:36] it's [02:36] It does not display its buttons such that I can navigate it [02:36] sacarlson, the tags [02:36] wylde, yes [02:37] OK, now, sacarlson, wylde: in phpmyadmin (logging in): "Unable to load the web page because the server sent no data." [02:37] gear4: when phpmyadmin is installed it has dependancy on php so it had to be installed [02:37] can anyone have a look [02:37] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_090412_-_03_35_26-rp3tN4vR.png [02:38] gear4: try retstarting apache sudo service apache2 restart [02:38] wylde, I did [02:38] why are there 1496 people in ubuntu and no one to answer for why it does not work as usual [02:39] OK wait [02:39] :( [02:39] I didn't ^^ [02:39] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_090412_-_03_35_26-rp3tN4vR.png [02:39] gear4: very confusing you say it works then it's not. you don't tell us what you changed for these things to happen [02:39] !php | gear4 [02:39] gear4: PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. A command-line only version can be installed in Ubuntu with the "php5-cli" package. See also !lamp for integrated server PHP. The Ubuntu server PHP5 guide is found at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/php5.html [02:40] wylde, I know what PHP is -_- [02:40] wylde: php must work as gear4 got to the login page of phpmyadmin [02:40] I know how to script it, how to bend it [02:40] sacarlson, it logged in now .. [02:40] Stupid Ubuntu -_- [02:40] hello [02:40] gear4: visit the link? Try any trobleshooting methods it suggests. [02:41] sacarlson, phpmyadmin login works, but nothing else in PHP [02:41] wylde, I don't use 10.04 ? [02:41] gear4: phpmyadmin is writen in php so it works fine [02:41] sacarlson, I guessed [02:42] gear4: so focus on your custom php files and there permisions [02:42] their * [02:42] gear4: ya they'er [02:43] hello [02:43] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_090412_-_03_35_26-rp3tN4vR.png [02:43] running a java app on UBUNTU but it does not display components such as buttons [02:43] http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_-_090412_-_03_35_26-rp3tN4vR.png [02:44] sacarlson, I changed permissions to 755 AND 777, changed user to root, my normal user, and another user. Still no change [02:44] firefox bookmark bar too tall: screenshot from windows - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16248423/windows.png screenshot from ubuntu: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16248423/Screenshot%20at%202012-02-20%2021%3A09%3A46.png obviously ubuntu is using more space vertically, how can I change this? [02:45] gear4: ok show me the single line of the test.php file that I assume you ran after phpmyadmin install [02:45] sacarlson, [02:46] gear4: ok and it's file location ? [02:46] sacarlson, /home/dev/web/graphox/home/phpinfo.php [02:46] How do I link a binary to /use/local/bin [02:47] gear4: that looks like a problem if you didn't modify apparmor [02:47] hi... I'm trying to install vmware on my machine.. but Virtual Machine Monitor as well as Virtual Ethernet fails... when I try to start it in GUI as well it says serveral modules should be installed and then the Virtual Network Device fails... I looked through internet, seems to be problem with vmnet and seems that kernel 3.2.6 has lots of problems with vmware... anyone has any suggestions for me how to fix it..?? [02:47] sacarlson, apparmor ? [02:47] lemme see /var/www [02:48] gear4: yes I think appache is an application that Is or was a part of aparmor so try your test file in the real directory at /var/www [02:48] sacarlson, you're right [02:49] is there a way to pass a script as an option to run on chroot? [02:49] sacarlson, works perfect [02:49] sacarlson, problem is, I want quick read and write acces [02:49] gear4: so modify apparmor settings or move your files [02:49] access [02:49] sacarlson, kk [02:49] sacarlson, how ? :3 [02:50] !apparmor [02:50] !apparmor | gear4 [02:50] :/ [02:50] My updater says: "W: Failed to fetch http://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.42-1ubuntu2.4_i386.deb [02:50] 404 Not Found" [02:50] Should I be worried? [02:50] gear4: guess you'll have to google apparmor [02:50] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppArmor [02:50] kk [02:51] sacarlson, thing is, it worked perfect in ubuntu 11.04 [02:51] Then I get 11.10, and this happens [02:51] For information about the AppArmor security framework employed in Ubuntu (since Gutsy Gibbon), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [02:52] gear4, please see my private message === bilby is now known as cvr [02:53] Can anybody here reset my Ubuntu forums password? i tried resetting using all my current email addresses but it must have been registered with an old one. I havnt used the account in ages. Id rather not have to register again with a different username. [02:53] sacarlson, could I remove/disable apparmor ? [02:54] gear4: yes you can disable it [02:54] gear4: but if you ever get hacked like I did you would be glad you had it [02:55] sacarlson, nevermind [02:55] sacarlson, apparmor for apache2 isn't installed [02:56] gear4: so that's not the solution then? [02:57] sacarlson, not as far as I can see === Goku is now known as Aguay [02:57] gear4: did you try your test file at the location /var/www ? [02:57] sacarlson, yes. it works [02:58] gear4: oh it's php that has apparmor then [02:58] sacarlson, any way I can remove it ? [02:58] gear4: well you can disable it, it's built into the kernel [02:59] sacarlson, I mean, the php armor [02:59] gear4: just disable all of it to prove it's the problem [02:59] gear4: fix it later [02:59] sacarlson, I think I know how [02:59] so no forum admins or mods online? [03:01] gear4: ya it's simple sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor stop [03:01] sacarlson, no [03:01] to disable the PHP apparmor [03:02] how do I connect to any random irc server? [03:02] it seems like someone is running an unreal irc server on my computer [03:02] not sure how they got in === EricAndr_ is now known as EricAndrews [03:04] gear4: remind you the apparmor is only a theory until proven [03:04] sacarlson, yes [03:05] sacarlson, not apparmor [03:06] gear4: and what has proven that? [03:06] sacarlson, I stopped apparmor, moved apache's web root, and still doesn't work [03:07] gear4: and restarted appache2 ? [03:07] sacarlson, yes [03:07] gear4: I guess stoping apparmor is more difficult then I thought [03:08] sacarlson, maybe, invoke-rc.d apparmor stop [03:08] Just done, doesn't work [03:08] gear4: or it's not apparmor some other setting in php configs [03:08] sacarlson, maybe [03:09] Hey anybody here use Zorin-os? it's based on ubuntu but without all the bloatware-- anyone have a good experience with it?

[03:33] Im not able to start a java application on ubuntu [03:33] for some reason it does not display the gui components [03:34] only the main window [03:34] glide: http://www.ubuntu.com/community [03:34] try that [03:34] yeah, i have spent time in terminal but it's hard to do interesting things because i know so little.

[04:47] gr33n7007h: since I have never configured X in this way... do I have to reload X after using the system->preferences system?

The init.d script is chmodded to 755 and it was set for startup as "update-rc.d script defaults". However, when I reboot my server, I find that the script was never executed. Is there way to debug why this is happening? [05:19] i have transferred files in a win7 os and taken the drive into an ubuntu os. i can't find the files. quick solution. either command line or gui is fine. i did google some solutions. however it hasn't worked. [05:20] control+h has been done, no luck there. checked preferences to show hidden files. [05:20] Hello... I could use some help with screen resolution. [05:21] the hard drive is formatted as fat32. [05:22] formatted the hard drive within windows OS. in ubuntu, folders show, not the files. [05:22] Frankie2: ask away [05:22] welcoming anyone to help. thanks. [05:23] gigglefight: did you unplug the device from Windows OS? [05:23] yes [05:23] it's a sansa clip usb device. [05:23] Basically this is my first day with any sort of Linux. Finally got everything working (as far as I know). Problem is, the resolution is super small and annoying. I try to change it in the display settings but the dropdown menu only shows the current setting. [05:23] gigglefight: did you use the safe remove function in the OS, or did you just pull it out? [05:24] pulled it out. [05:24] :P there was no option to safe remove it. [05:25] gigglefight, put it back in the windows OS pc, can it read the files? [05:25] within windows. this has happend before. the files in ubuntu would show on ubuntu, however, windows files would not show. and vice versa. the files are there but unable to see them in either os [05:25] yes. windows can see the files. it's an avi file. i am looking for that i've transferred to the device w/in windows [05:25] some files are beign added in MTP mode and some in MSC is probably what is going on [05:26] you should not use MTP with media players since it has a tendency to not function properly and it hides everything you added in MSC mode [05:27] MTP is a Microsoft thing they created as part of their windows media digital restrictions management [05:27] it has no legitimate reason to exist and you should avoid it if possible [05:27] yes. i'm familiar with the warning. i got it from windows os too. even though its a general .mp3 or an .avi file? wow. [05:28] how about if a regular usb. cause this has happend with a regular usb flash drive also. [05:28] MTP doesn't directly expose the file system [05:28] it's a pseudo file system on top of FAT [05:28] any solutions or work arounds? [05:28] whats reboot? sudo shutdown -restart now [05:29] mount it as MTP, back up anything you don't already have a copy of on that system, delete the files off the device [05:29] shut down from what i remember is "halt"... am i corret? i hope i helped. [05:29] unplug the device, set it to use MSC only [05:29] copy over the files in MSC mode, which directly exposes the file system [05:30] DaemonPC you [05:30] are great. [05:30] MTP is a gigantic pain [05:30] gigglefight: there is a safe remove option, its in the taskbar, near the clock [05:30] how to do msc or mtp? [05:30] Google went insane and forces it on Android users [05:30] gigglefight: its been in the OS since windows XP [05:30] it should be in the system settings on the device [05:30] ActionParsnip: you done much with IP tables? [05:30] while in one mode, you can't see files that were added in the other mode [05:31] hey, I can't get my graphics card to make 11.10 to start after my upgrade [05:31] Sansa players have an "auto detect" by default, so it was putting the device in MTP mode in Windows and MSC mode elsewhere [05:31] sorry. please tell me what MTP is an ackronym for? [05:31] Microsoft's Media Transport Protocol [05:31] and msc? [05:31] it's a really really really horrible thing to deal with [05:31] Mass Storage Class [05:31] nice. i'll google from there. [05:31] same as an external hard drive or flash drive [05:31] anyone see my problem regarding resolution? I'm relatively certain I've gone through the process of updating my driver but I'm not positive. It's only giving me the current option [05:32] I start up to only text of starting and stopping cron and such after upgrade to 11.10 [05:33] How can I get Japanese text working under Wine? They show up as blocks. [05:33] daemonPC is there a platform that can use both ubuntu and win [05:33] ? [05:33] i do have wine. [05:33] Windows knows what an MSC device is [05:34] syddraf: install the japanese language pack from the microsoft website. It should be either .exe or .msi [05:34] if you use the device in MSC mode only, it will work anywhere [05:34] gigglefight: I suggest you plug it back into Windows, chkdsk the partition then safely remove the device and you'll find it'll work [05:34] even on Windows 98 [05:34] k. [05:34] will look up msc [05:34] and how to format it as that. [05:34] thanks. [05:34] you don't format it [05:34] gigglefight: it's not a format [05:34] oh. [05:34] gigglefight: it's a mode [05:34] gigglefight: crap file systems like fAT32 don't handle unplugs well, and NTFS willbe marked as 'dirt' if you don't use the unmount functionality. Basically you are abusing your hardware [05:34] is there a way to probe for devices other other subnets? I know the other device uses bonjour [05:35] how to get to the msc mode? the hard drive is in fat32 [05:35] actually, FAT handles random unplugs better than NTFS [05:35] I can't boot into the recovery mode, all I get is a blank screen [05:35] i didnt format it as ntfs because it can be read on mac also [05:35] DaemonFC: its still garbage [05:35] but that's just because NTFS has an implementation of delayed allocation and FAT doesn't [05:36] bawn: There don't seem to be any downloads by MS since it all runs through Windows tools now. [05:36] if you use a file system with delayed allocation, then there's a good chance something won't be written when you go to remove the external drive, because as the name suggests, it can wait a while to write the data [05:37] found it! http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61/~/enabling-or-forcing-msc-mode-on-your-sansa-player [05:37] syddraf: I am sure an answer lies somewhere in the internet [05:37] the risk of data loss on flash drives though is less than with a removable hard drive because it's not waiting as long to find an optimal place to write the data to [05:38] if you're worried about it you should "eject" or "safely remove" the storage [05:38] hi [05:38] the system will refuse to unmount it if there are outstanding writes [05:38] So I added a static IP to eth0 which is plugged into a IP Camera. They are both on 192.168.70.x - do I need to set the gateway IP? cause in this scenario, direct connection gateway makes no sense [05:38] i have the file backed up on the computer's internal no problem at all.

[06:45] Sorry - Will put whole comment on one line -- am using miniDLNA on ubuntu11.10, it's installed, I set the dir's correctly, I check on my LG smart TV and it find the server, however it shows all the folders as empty? [06:45] brez, medi_dir is correct? [06:46] brez, and it takes time to scan I believe [06:47] bluefrog: shouldn't be over an hour, right? -- I set the dir to /home/brez/Music [06:47] I placed some .mp3's in there, yet when I check on the TV I can't see the song, however I do see folders such as "albums" which are not evident on the ubuntu vox. [06:49] brez: I did note this The official version of MiniDLNA in the Oneiric repositories (1.0.21+dfsg-1) is flawed (possibly because it hasn't been compiled with 'libavcodec' support). With this version you will not be able to play mp4 video files, display pngs, and possibly other things.

I tried with a paid proxy service also but no luck, do you think it is just the pidgin package or because of my location? How can [08:03] Kirk__, ok, I'm giving up now. You're *still* not providing all the output [08:04] Elijah, that message got cut off after 'how can' [08:04] What method of connection does the software center use? http, https? [08:04] http [08:04] Elijah, you may get more info in the terminal when you try these commands: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pidgin [08:05] Elijah: try: sudo apt-get install pidgin close software centre first [08:05] Kirk__: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc === _zeta is now known as ubuntu_ [08:07] lsb_release -sc oneiric [08:08] Kirk__: i'd uninstall the 32bit packages you have, may help [08:10] Seveas: ...because of my location?

What kind of errors did you get in the terminal? [08:11] Seveas: Your tip to sudo apt-get update worked, it installed fine after that [08:12] ActionParsnip, his perl is broken, breaking dpkg. None of those commands will work. He's also refusing to give full output of commands, so we can't see *why* it's broken. [08:12] Elijah, ok, maybe hitting the 'refresh' button in the software center would have worked too [08:12] Seveas: gotcha [08:14] Seveas: thanks guys [08:19] hi, i want boot my ubuntu 10.10 using console and am trying to configure wireless connection in /etc/network/interfaces === shadowh511 is now known as sleeph511 === sleeph511 is now known as shadowh511 === newbie is now known as Guest42074 [08:29] hi, i want boot my ubuntu 10.10 computer using the console and am trying to configure /etc/network/interfaces about the wireless connection [08:29] it doesn't work [08:29] intore: sounds reasonable enough.

[11:14] venkatmangudi, well that's the last straw, im done with ubuntu, i'll deal with finding and/or writing drivers for debian. this is just rediculous [11:15] wonderman, launching what from terminal? transmission? [11:15] bittorrent-gui [11:15] derebel: Good luck then :> [11:15] wondering if your trying to launch from terminal, or from unity start menu or something [11:15] wonderman, terminal [11:15] sudo aptitude search bittorrent-gui [11:16] that says its installed? [11:16] not broken ? [11:16] wonderman, the command "bittorrent-gui" does not exist. [11:16] derebel: I was the same way. 12.04 is not bad, trust me. Still sucks because of Gnome 3.2. But way better that 11.10 [11:18] nicofs: have you tried opening a .torrent file ? [11:19] wonderman, what with - it's nowhere in any application menu... [11:19] im asking you. [11:19] ive never used it [11:19] have you googled your problem ? [11:19] bye [11:20] where is the official website for the client ? [11:20] nicofs: what are you actually trying to do? [11:20] i think you may want to pick a better client [11:20] wonderman, i have no idea, to be honest... i found it by synaptic... [11:20] looks like apos [11:20] sw, install a torrent client... [11:20] http://packages.debian.org/sid/bittorrent-gui [11:21] nicofs: and you haven't installed it yet, no? [11:21] wonderman: That are the details for the debian packages. [11:21] sw, i have - via synaptic [11:21] wonderman: this isn't debian [11:22] bekks: oCean its all i found in 2minutes [11:22] wonderman: I found this in 10s: http://www.bittorrent.com/ [11:22] packages.ubuntu.com/ is still loading... [11:22] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/bittorrent-gui [11:22] wonderman: you're in #ubuntu. and users come here for live support rather than being pointed to a website. they're capable of doing that themselves [11:23] sw clearly not [11:23] nicofs: so '$ dpkg -L bittorrent' and '$ dpkg -L bittorrent-gui' show the packages are installed, yes? [11:23] nicofs: the devs website seems to be redirecting [11:23] http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ [11:23] i would use another client [11:23] wonderman: Please take a look at your link. That are the details of the Ubuntu packages - but NOT the official website of the client. [11:23] bekks review my last link [11:24] fuck im trying to help him, and you all turn up flaming me [11:24] what is the buzz abt PP than OO version [11:24] cya [11:24] ?

[11:24] nicofs: you'll need both the 'bittorrent' and 'bittorrent-gui' packages installed if you want the GUI, can you check that? [11:24] fishcooker: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (now beta). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion [11:25] sw synaptic was clever enough to install both... http://paste.ubuntu.com/921670/ is the output of dpkg [11:25] hello all. I need create 3 chrooted machines to run different Apache + PHP versions/permissions/services in my network. Since all machines wil share the home directory, at main machine I want create the users and share this users between all machines, to avoid the same UID at different machines. What's the best way to do this? [11:26] nicofs: let me take a look [11:26] hello [11:26] In other words, I need share some users at different machines [11:27] saulotoledo: Then you have to create the users on all machines, and share the "main" home using NFS, e.g. [11:30] nicofs: I can't replicate your problem my end. can you try installing another client to test, for example Transmission by doing: '$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install transmission'? [11:30] bekks: The schroot system will automatically share the home dir, but if I create the users in each virtual machine they will have different IDs. I need them with the same ID to avoid mistakes [11:30] nicofs: that's probably a better choice anyhow as it's regularly maintained [11:31] saulotoledo: Then create them having the same IDs. [11:31] sw starting point for my quest was that transmission isn't working properly... oO [11:31] bekks: Only editting /etc/passwd and /etc/groups, correct? [11:31] No. [11:31] I have a windows xp drive that im trying to get files from before it's changed. I have been able to get most things through ubuntu but when i open the Documents and Settings folder, i no icons are shown [11:32] saulotoledo: Just creating them with useradd and -u and -g [11:32] when i use the terminal, i get a number of directories listed but get i/o error when i try to view the contents [11:32] bekks: Ah ok! thanks [11:32] bekks: let me try [11:33] sw, i could just install something else - i can live with any client... i just thought there was something obvious i may have overlooked... [11:33] ok I'm having a weird problem: my ubuntu box is acting as a router, and internet access is working fine, but I can't log on to anything on the server itself. the login gets stuck after "logging as ..." [11:35] bekks: This users will run from Apache, If I don't create passwords with useradd they will login at system? [11:36] saulotoledo: Without a password set, you cant login. And the user running apache is not intended to be used for login. [11:37] bekks: It's this wha I want, thanks!

[12:33] there is a large amount of padding especially around the bookmark bar, the bookmark "buttons" are extremely large, it is unnecessary and it's not in any other OS and a waste of space.

How to change bootloader to my second linux? [13:41] mikislav, what are the two [13:41] mikislav, You might need a hard drive partitioner to destroy one of the linux partitions [13:41] mikislav: boot into the second and update grub [13:42] gnuskool: Have you tried updating the drivers, or perhaps re-installing them? [13:42] mikislav, Sometimes Ubuntu has a crazy way of splitting up your harddrive when you upgrade to a new distro of Ubuntu [13:42] how it works?

Frozenball [14:01] i'm using a custom app, that needs fullscreen on the secondary display. I just can't get it to work..

FrozenMind [14:02] i have an Nvidia card [14:02] tigers: don't be sorry :) just asking to help the question get answered :D [14:03] So is there anything i can do? [14:03] Hi peeps. I have a problem with sound on the g930, it works when i test it in audiospeaker test, but not a sound when try yt or other music. anyidea? [14:03] tryed find an answer for days but no luck. [14:04] ivan__: alsamixergui installed ? check, if nothing is muted === tximo is now known as sake === sake is now known as redwine [14:05] yes alsamixer installed, couldnt see anything muted. i'll check again. [14:05] Is this the right place for problems with Ubuntu installation? === redwine is now known as whitewine [14:05] Shant_B: Yes just ask [14:06] n [14:06] was wondering if11.10 of 12 for that matter will have ubuntu classic in the login options or would i have to install it use synaptic first [14:07] tigers: what could be happening is that you have a file at that certain cluster boundary. what you can do is make a back up of the partition and dump the current partition to allow you to move everything back in after the resize. [14:07] First off: I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu on an HP system with Windows 7 preinstalled, And I wanted to know if anyone has a way of guaranteeing that if anything goes wrong I can revert Win7 back to how it was, like a recovery disk or something [14:08] FrozenMind, thats the problem. I have no space to backup, the partition in question is some 309 gigs big [14:08] Shant_B: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [14:09] DasEi: no muted as i can see, still no sound yt. Gah this is odd i'm most likely doing something wrong. [14:09] Shant_B, when you install Ubuntu, you over write the partition handler with a new bootmenu (example Grub). from there, you can get windows 7 back with a recovery disk, but you will not get ubuntu :) [14:10] Thank you, but my main problem is this: the Windows partition is in "dynamic drives". I have researched this, and many people have had the sae problem as I, accidentally converting their drives to dynamic. Most support forums say you must completely format drive (since I only have one). Does anyone here have experinece with reverting from dynamic? [14:10] tigers: aah, how much space is free on the EXT 4 you want to resize? you might still be hitting that cluster boundary... do you know if you have large files like 10gig+? [14:11] How do i see which file is in which cluster? Or how do i move all files to the beginning of the drive? [14:11] Shant_B: sorry no reliable experience with that [14:12] FrozenMind,there is around 32 gigs free, im trying to merge two partitions by shrinking and moving [14:12] anyone else had/have sound problem with spotify/youtube in 11.10? as i understand i dont it should work but.. [14:13] how do i use chmod to set permissions for a folder, and every subfolder+item in the folder? shortly, the whole tree under the folder + all files [14:13] anyone know how maxlogins really works? if i set a hard limit of 3 and the limit gets hit and everyone logs out then nobody can log back in.. i thought it was meant to limit concurrent logins [14:13] zth: use the -R option [14:13] hi guys, why i can't connect as bridge mode? [14:13] i use vmware [14:14] phong_: to get an answer you'll need to provide a lot more info [14:14] schnuffle, Okay, I was half expecting no one to know since the forums seem not to have answers :S [14:14] tigers: the thing is, with EXT4, it crams everythign as close together, this is why you do not need to defragment your os/files in linux because is mashes everything as tight as it can, unlike windows. [14:14] facebook game are not running on ubunto [14:14] Anyways, in the event where I would start from scratch, is it better to install ubunut or Win7 first? [14:14] hey guys [14:14] schnuffle, i use vmware, it used to work with bridge connection, when i updated something, i can't connect with bridge, but can only with NAT [14:14] why? [14:14] tigers: so you might be hitting a rather large file that was placed at the end, it would seem to me... [14:15] Shant_B: first win then ubuntu [14:15] i have a monitor connected to my acer laptop, i m running ubuntu 11.10 [14:15] schnuffle Thanks [14:15] FrozenMind, i've shrunk it as far as i can to the nearest 100MB(if that makes sense)... so if its a stray cluster then it is at the very end of the partition.. [14:15] the resolution the monitor is taking is not proper [14:15] phong_: what did you update? [14:15] if i mirror the image then to the image is improper [14:15] just like ubuntu update [14:15] !resolution | omkar_ [14:15] omkar_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[14:16] thanks [14:16] the ubuntu [14:16] and also the host vmware [14:16] vmware tools [14:16] tigers: looking at it like that, I would suggest that you should do a search ro use a tool that finds all the files as well as their sizes (sorry, i do not know of any) and then from there you would need to either copy it out onto a flash drive or delete it.. [14:16] omkar_: though empty, by default, can still use /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:16] reguardless, can we get this work again? [14:16] how to create a xorg.conf [14:16] FrozenMind,i just checked, largest file is 4 gigs large [14:17] also would it override the default xorg in /usr/bin/? [14:17] omkar_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:17] FrozenMind,ok will try that [14:17] !xorgconf | omkar_ [14:17] omkar_: The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers.

[14:17] tigers: it does make sense :) and hmm... that is odd... [14:17] But are there defragging tools for ext4? [14:17] omkar_: which graca ? [14:17] phong_: of course, but i forgot my crystal ball at home [14:17] help [14:17] tigers: there is one in Precise [14:17] lol [14:18] @ schnuffle Big greetings, hope your doing good! :) [14:18] yeah sw reading the link [14:18] caB00T: Hi doing fine [14:18] :) [14:18] LjL,im on lucid [14:18] tigers: then none [14:18] graca in the sense?

[14:20] hey , is there a nice programm to learn c++ ? [14:21] okay back to your problem. vmware player worked with a VM in bridged network setup, you did updates to the host and the VM and now it's only working in NAT mode? is that right?

[14:29] schnuffle: problem is that a lot of applications need clutter now.. [14:30] hey guys, anyone know why NONE of my iso have the "install along side" option in the installer? [14:30] and clutter only works on direct rendering capable hw [14:30] no recent nvidia card = no clutter = no applications [14:30] sw, yes.

[14:31] I need to verify an email address to use it with Amazon Simple Email Service. What's the simpliest way I can set up my ubuntu server to receive said email? I installed postfix with email set to confirmation@domain.com, not sure what else I'm missing. [14:31] fierman: I don't understand why you say that this is something that happened 'overnight'. Did you upgrade to a new release of Ubuntu or? [14:31] if i sudo mail it says command not found.. [14:31] Oh [14:31] I need mailutils [14:31] Unknown0BC: no. '$ sudo apt-get install evolution-indicator mail-notification mail-notification-evolution' [14:32] sw ah :) [14:32] Unknown0BC: ... I was just checking that you'd done that first [14:32] sw, yeah :) [14:32] innociv: you want a smtp server listening on port 25 and waiting for a incoming mail from amazon? [14:32] Yeah [14:32] anyone know why all of my attempts to install ubuntu along side windows doesnt give me the "install side by side" option? [14:33] So I can verify I own that address and then shut it off and use Amazon SES [14:33] innociv: to own an address you need to own the domain [14:33] I do [14:33] dns points to this server [14:34] innociv: so where's problem? [14:34] innociv: you have mx records setup too? [14:34] k .. i'll just do it the hard way ... what should i use to compile and write stuff? [14:34] Yeah. [14:34] Maybe i'm missing needing to allow an amazon server. [14:35] right now it's a matter of how to read the mail, but that might be because i didn't have mailutils installed. [14:35] Unknown0BC: working now? [14:35] innociv: check the mail.log, you'll see at least that the mail was rehected [14:35] Oh. God damn it. What IPs do I need to allow for ubuntu's repos? [14:35] numbie: thats a question of flavor [14:36] does gedit sense c++ ? [14:36] I block all traffic to my server except my ip, and cloudflare, which is a bit of a problem. I need to open a bit more. [14:36] numbie: it has plugins to do code high light [14:37] innociv: that's your problem then. once you've done that check mail.log to see if the mail is receieved and where, and then just open that mailbox using mutt or whatever mail client you use et voila [14:37] innociv: check your sources.list, resolve the hostname and you have the IP [14:37] schnuffle, python console?

[14:38] Lufti: use lsof [14:38] thx [14:38] Lufti: sudo netstat -ltnp === anonymous is now known as Guest55677 [14:38] schnuffle, i dont see that in the plugin menu [14:38] Lufti: FTP? [14:39] How do I give my user permissions to read 640 adm:syslog files? [14:39] sw: That's protocol, not program. [14:39] innociv: easiest way would be to drop the in the adm group. [14:39] numbie: i think there's a gedit plugin package you need to install: gedit-plugins [14:39] A user can be in more than one group? [14:39] Sure. [14:39] and gedit-developer-plugins [14:39] innociv: yes. === mkay_ is now known as e04mk [14:40] jpds: FTP uses port 21, so it'd be listening on it - no? [14:40] I'm confused. Why does `netstat -ltnp`tell me that inetd is on port 21 and not my proftp? [14:40] Lufti: becasue you apparenlty start your ftp with inetd [14:40] sw: Yes; he wants to know the program. [14:40] ah, .. oh [14:40] Anyway. [14:41] "sudo usermod -a -G adm myuser"? Still can't open it without sudo. [14:41] I am trying to install ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop ... harddisk 500gb Ram 2GB ... how should do the partitions ?? [14:42] jpds: aha, sorry [14:42] is there a command to verify that? A command to ask inetd for the status of my proftp (if it is proftp what is listening on 21) [14:42] Lufti: that is okay if ftp is not under heavy usage [14:42] sw: i can make a ftp call out through port 1395 if i wanted... 21 is just the default... :) hence why hackers attack common open ports, like 80, 21, 22, etc... because people do not change/port forwards//turn them off [14:42] 50 for root,4 for swap,the rest for home... imho [14:42] mogaj, let ubuntu decide [14:43] tigers: so i am guessing you got it figured out? [14:43] compdoc: ?? means [14:43] to check which process is on port 21. lsof –i :21 [14:43] FrozenMind: yes ... [14:43] ftp will listen on port 21, and will use port 20 tooo, by default. [14:44] Im busy shrinking again.. hoping it will work this time FrozenMind, i'll know soon enough [14:44] mogaj: my prefered is 500MB for boot, the rest as LVM [14:44] tigers: good luck [14:44] FrozenMind, domo domo [14:45] Lufti: when inetd controls the ftp port its inetd that is listening on that port. When a connection comes in, it start the configured process [14:46] Lufti: which is apparently proftpd [14:46] ah, i understand [14:46] i dont know what does highlight the code :/ [14:46] so it's better for the memory or performance? [14:46] Lufti: proftpd can run in inetd mode and standalone [14:46] Lufti: It doesnt matter for performance. [14:47] join #tremulous [14:47] Lufti: for memory its a bit better, cause the ftp process is only launched when needed, for performance its not so good [14:47] i know a dog called Lufti [14:47] Ignore that. [14:48] Lufti: the difference will surly not matter in your setup [14:50] And I'm trying to sudo cat /dev/null > sudo /var/log/mail.log and that's not emptying the log [14:50] Thanks for your help! ;) [14:50] FTP on this channel is a serious pet peeve of mine. use SFTP. in 90% of cases, it's better. === lonewolf is now known as Guest55307 [14:50] mneptok: true statement, but wont change the need for FTP [14:50] i have a drive that is detected and works for cds but is not detected when i put in a dvd, works ok on another box (not ubuntu), it's an hp usb cd/dvd writer [14:51] linux.org.ru [14:51] mneptok, agreed [14:51] schnuffle: most users do not need it, they are just ignorant of the better alternatives. [14:51] ohh sorry [14:51] not to mention the ease of setup of sftpd when compared to FTP [14:51] I mixed up windows [14:51] I figured out my proftp wasn't started, though inetd listening on port 21. Killing the process and starting proftp in standalone mode worked and I could connect to the server. No Problem. [14:52] Any idea how I can figure out was was wrong with inetd? [14:52] schnuffle, ftp is almost never needed, only when you have a need to implement an older bootstrap protocol or boot from network do you really -need- ftp, even then there are better alternatives [14:52] Using inetd mode, you'll never see proftpd running when no user is connected to ftp. [14:52] derebel: and anonymous access [14:52] Does anyone know any new features of ubuntu 12.04? [14:53] derebel: tell that all the poeple that have a website hosted somewhere [14:53] newtothisworld: ask in #ubuntu+1 where people are actually using it [14:53] schnuffle: a hosted website has no need of an ftpd on a users machine. [14:54] i think i need an inbuild compiler so i can easily run stuff :/ [14:55] numbie: As I suggested earlier, you'd be better off asking for beginner help for C++ in ##C++ (its an irc channel here) [14:55] numbie: if you're going to be building things: '$ sudo apt-get install build-essential' [14:55] i see im misunderstood. FTP is not needed at all but required by the ignorance or better the unflexibility of the customer [14:57] if I switch between consoles with control+alt+f# how do I get back to X? [14:57] but thats all ot sorry :) [14:57] DeLorean731: ctrl+alt+F7 or F8 should get you back to X [14:57] thank you sir [14:58] Hey, can someone help me understand the concept of runlevels, especially in the context of upstart? [14:58] After doing some research I kind of figured out that a runlevel is like a "mode of operation" of the OS. So there's a runlevel for single-user-operation, shutting down, restarting etc. [14:59] aviraldg: maybe that is a good introduction: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html [14:59] But quite a few upstart scripts I've seen look like they're using arbitrary runlevels like "1234" [14:59] What's up with that? [14:59] schnuffle: I've read that already. [14:59] :) obvious. [15:00] The startup scripts indicate that they are running at various run levels, regardless of the current runlevel. [15:00] s/are running/run/ [15:00] I mean I understood the significance of running at runlevels 0-6. What about ones beyond that? [15:01] there are no run levels beyond that [15:01] aviraldg: Ubuntu does not use anything past runlevel 6 [15:01] aviraldg: They are likely setup that way because in Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal, but upstart was created to be compatible with other distributions as well. [15:01] yeah, 0-6 are the only run levels [15:01] aviraldg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel [15:02] mneptok: I've seen that too. [15:02] aviraldg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel#Ubuntu [15:02] aviraldg: seen that? because it explains that Debian and Ubuntu do not use anything past runlevel 6. [15:02] For example, here's an upstart script https://gist.github.com/970181 for running gunicorn. 2345 sounds like it's completely random and above 6. [15:02] trying to manually mount a dvd that ubuntu didn't automount, just hangs, drive spins and mount hangs [15:02] FrozenMind, alas.. it didnt work [15:02] 2, 3, 4, 5 [15:03] not 2345 [15:03] aviraldg: 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 [15:03] Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... O_O [15:03] lol. [15:03] damn. [15:03] Thanks a lot. [15:03] np [15:05] So this basically says, "start gunicorn when the system boots up, stop it when it shuts down", right? [15:05] hi [15:05] aviraldg: "start this thing up as long as the system is not in single-user mode or rebooting,: [15:06] Yeah... [15:06] i've problems connecting to local wireless network using network manager [15:06] How do I empty my /var/log/mail.log file? [15:07] I tried sudo cat /dev/null > sudo /var/log/mail.log [15:07] could you tell me about checks [15:07] Ïðèâåòñòâóþ âñåõ, òóò åñòü ëþäè êîòîðûå çíàþò ðóññêèé?

[15:12] intore_: do you see yourd wifi in NM? [15:12] Okay, so another related question (I'm quite a newbie when it comes to all this): [15:12] When rebooting via a terminal, or shutting down, I get to see a lot of messages indicating that a runlevel is being switched or that a KILL message is being sent to all processes, etc etc. That's in accordance with upstart scripts and init.d scripts, am I right (specifically, the "stop on" directive) === cinnabon is now known as dirigible [15:12] ? [15:12] i think nm doesn't start [15:13] intore_: can you start it in a terminal: nm-applet? [15:14] L3top: ^ [15:14] aviraldg: yes [15:15] mmm, is already running but i can't ping nothing [15:15] intore_: what is running? [15:15] hi all, i got eclipse up but now my prevouly compileable programe gives me a major minnor version error. Can some one assist in fixing so i don't screw this up [15:16] hm [15:16] Why am I not getting an IP when I "dig NS security.ubuntu.com"? [15:16] an instance of nm-applet is already running [15:16] i know it has to do with jdk/jre versions [15:16] the "stop on" is what sends the kind disconnect and exit commands (stop), kill happens to stuff leftover, I believe. [15:16] oh wait i dont want NS [15:16] intore_: and does it has a wifi connection configured? [15:17] This way processes are not left locked open when you boot again, so they do not hang/cause all sorts of problems [15:17] yes, in system->preferences->network connections [15:17] innociv: why should you get an ip when you do a DNS resolve? [15:18] intore_: and is the connection active? [15:18] this might be a dumb question, but is it possible to check from within ubuntu if i have any available hard drive bays in my case? [15:18] yeah oops. Though i'd still expect ip from the dns, eh? [15:18] yes, am using it with another pc [15:18] go to disk management [15:19] which log file could i check? [15:19] what_up: are you referring to the mounting of hard drives or connections on the motherboard? [15:19] How can I make my logitech Webcam C270 mic work? I tried looking it up on google but only found this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1860715.html but it is not working [15:19] intore_: you mean you have another pc which can connect and has an active connection? thats good to know but doesn't tell if your own PC has a wifi connection active [15:19] FrozenMind: ideally both :) [15:20] So my Cam works but not the Microphone [15:20] am sorry, i didn't understand. yes is active [15:20] spartan2276: are you sure that it is not simply muted? [15:20] what_up: clerification, my version of mounting hard drives would be the space in the case for the hard drives, not the mount command lol my bad [15:20] huh? muted how can that be I went into the Sound manager an nothing [15:21] FrozenMind: s/mounting/installing [15:21] Hi there, my harddisk says I'm using 170GB out of 220, but I only have like 96GB on it? http://i.imgur.com/ygwl4.png [15:21] it seems like is fine [15:21] intore_: paste the output of ifconfig [15:21] FrozenMind: right. i want to find out if i still have physical space inside the case to (usefully) put a hard drive in without opening it up [15:21] mneptok: thanks haha, my bad... :) [15:21] L3top, how can I tell if its muted? [15:21] i just restarted and it runs [15:21] i don't understand how [15:22] in a terminal type sudo alsamixer scroll left and right and make sure nothing with mic has an "m" in the box. If it does, press the letter m and it will unmute... assuming you have alsa-utils. I deal more with cli stuff, perhaps someone has better advice on the GUI. [15:22] intore_: open a terminal and type ifconfig | pastebinit and paste the url here [15:22] L3top, I looked at the sound manager in Systems Settings and it does not seem to be? is it a command line issue, if so can I get the command so I can fix it [15:22] WHAT_UP: you could set up a webcam that points inside your case to determine free drive bays. other than that, no. [15:22] mneptok: thanks for the suggestion. [15:22] what_up. to find out about the case you can either look it up online or sudo apt-get screwdriver && take out screws && remove case :) (and no that is not a real command) [15:23] can anyone explain how this makes sense? http://i.imgur.com/ygwl4.png - harddrive space [15:23] FrozenMind: agh. lame [15:23] intore_: if pastebinit is not installed: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [15:24] what_up: haha, sorry :) [15:24] schnuffle: after restarting it runs [15:24] i tried many times [15:24] FrozenMind: i ran your command and got "This apt has screwdriver powers. Have you unhinged today?" [15:24] intore_: you mean you have an internet connection [15:24] i'll connect with him, i'll come back [15:24] yes [15:24] okay [15:24] fine [15:25] but i've others things to ask you [15:25] i'll come back [15:25] what is pastebinit [15:25] what_up: epic :D now, get a screwdriver... and open up your case [15:26] !paste | U_Crazy [15:26] U_Crazy: 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.

The command? Unmuting? [15:31] now yes but i'll want use only manual configuration and configure some wireless connection [15:32] L3top, unmuting [15:32] L3top, everything was unmuted already [15:32] Now that it is unmuted, there is likely a volume meter?

[16:02] Is there an irc channel that talks about rooting a smartphone? [16:02] Pl3nar1us: What smartphone? [16:02] netbus, the best way to speed up ubuntu is to do a netinstal with it and then just add a lightweight window manager like TWM or OB, xorg , and alsa for sound.

[16:10] "su" [16:10] asd2012: there is no su password... use sudo :P [16:10] netbus, ethernet cable will work fine but for wireless on a system you use yourself i would reccomend installing wicd for wireless fi you need it [16:10] As long as it goes on, and he has usb-modeswitch installed and it doesnt work. Then the problem is something else [16:10] asd2012: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword :) [16:10] system you makes yourself* sorry netbus [16:10] Joe_KD2AKU: never know things change no reason they couldn't support luks at some point if not already [16:11] satyanash, i'll look into it, thanks.

[16:12] can anyone tell me how to run autodesk 3Ds max through wine in ubuntu 11.10 [16:12] the i am unable to locate [16:13] ok you can use any kernel you guys. a server is a linux, unix machine that is set up to take people users in from web- it has only to do with permissions of flders and wether your router allows outside access [16:13] asd2012, do sudo su and out your own password. [16:13] asd2012, put* [16:13] is "sudo" and "su" are SAME ???

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:14] sudo -s will get you into "root" to allow you to constantly work as root with no password time out asd2012 [16:14] why my terminal uses "/media/sda5/" in path to other partitions, instead of drive letters ? [16:14] asd2012: su stands for 'switch user'. It lets you switch (normally to root) [16:14] ok well dont forget that passwor dnot ever to get you need advanced security skills [16:14] root* passwd [16:15] asd2012: sudo gives your user "root" permissions... i.e. pretty much anything. Though that is configurable. [16:15] asd2012: check the link above. === q0rban is now known as q-rban [16:16] Oops, it's public now https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/977313 [16:16] Launchpad bug 977313 in Ubuntu "Too many logins - sessions not cleared" [Undecided,New] [16:16] so that is the reason [16:16] learningc: [16:16] By default, the Root account password is locked in Ubuntu === Guest71243 is now known as michael_ [16:17] oops wrong window :| [16:17] so i can never know the password of "su"??? [16:17] it will be locked forever? [16:17] There is no root password. [16:17] well acrually the root password is just not set. do sudo su and then passwd to set it [16:17] hi [16:17] It isnt locked. [16:17] Just use sudo instead of su [16:17] just use sudo === icepeda is now known as ChanChingon [16:17] but "sudo" and "su" are different [16:18] root is too easy to move wrong foder and lose it [16:18] I'm on the Ubuntu LiveCD and it detected that I needed a different wireless driver, and activated it, but the wireless wont activate [16:18] hi all [16:18] iwconfig shows it [16:18] asd2012: Both give you a root account if necessary. [16:18] but iwlist scanning says wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down [16:18] is there a quick code to disable quick launcher altogether ?? [16:18] You dont have to have password set on the root account, and the root account isnt locked. [16:18] I don't know... [16:19] I'm still fairly new to linux. [16:19] Head, a lighter window manager wil probably not activate your unnecessary programs [16:19] how do i stinall handbrake on 11.10? [16:20] What version of GLX does Ubuntu 11.10 have? does anyone know? [16:20] then if anybody wants to write su in terminal and the system ask for password then we simply have to neglect it [16:20] disconnect [16:20] @haylo how do you mean? [16:20] asd2012: You dont need su. You should use sudo. [16:20] how to disconnect frm the IRC chat [16:20] ya of course i will use sudo [16:21] but if anybody wants to open "su" then he simply cant [16:21] open it [16:21] because [16:21] hey guys can anyone tell me how to run 3ds max in linux.... [16:21] not directly usually [16:21] no body wants "su" [16:21] asd2012: if you want to open it, do "sudo su" [16:21] asd2012: You dont use su on Ubuntu. Period. [16:21] werd [16:21] !sudo [16:21] 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 [16:21] bekks: umm, not true... [16:22] Head most programs are started up with a graphical display. if you log in text and then into a window manager enviornment you choose- you will have less startup programs [16:22] sudo su is ... useless use of su :) sudo -i does the same. [16:22] sudo su gets you root that is ridiculous to say it is useless [16:22] haylo: Then read what sudo -i [16:22] bekks: that's true. but a LOT different from "never use su in ubuntu" [16:22] ok i will sorry bekks [16:23] Enter text here... [16:23] BEfore accusing people of being ridiculous. [16:23] ok [16:23] ssta: Ack. [16:23] bekks: and two commands that do the same thing are interchangeable [16:23] um well it is actually and we both know it [16:23] il just leave [16:23] I have an ubuntu machine which will not connect to the repositories for software updates [16:23] Stop the religious war please, if people want to login as root with no password it's up to them :) [16:23] so as we dont need "su" so we dont have the right to know the password of "su"??? [16:23] haylo: bekks: you two should stop arguing. using 'su' in ubuntu is not advised, for decent reasons. [16:24] Resistance: I already quit argueing. [16:24] I recently changed the IP address and now it refuses to pull in updates [16:24] I'm able to ping everything on the internet just fine [16:24] but why nobody is interested to know the password of "su" [16:24] ??? [16:25] Resistance: umm, *please* clarify that to "using su to gain root". To say otherwise is misinformation! [16:25] jarray52: google blacklist video card ubuntu, and try and blacklist the intel side [16:25] That would be my first line of attack [16:25] pls tell me [16:25] why nobody is interested to know the password of "su" [16:25] asd2012: Because there is no password set. [16:26] And everybody uses sudo. [16:26] Resistance, didnt say that ssta . lets just stop the root discussion it is silly [16:26] did ever anybody have tried to open the famous "su" in Ubuntu 11.04 [16:27] ??? [16:27] asd2012: root has no password, so thath will fail. [16:27] !root [16:27] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:27] !su [16:27] 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 [16:27] haylo: he was loose and fuzzy. Commands like su aren't a good place for being loose and fuzzy. "su" is a perfectly good and useful command. IN fact, there are LOTS of uses of it in every ubuntu system by default (grep for su in /etc sometime) [16:27] by default you can't use su, if you need a root session you use sudo -i or assign a password to the root account, but its not needed if you use sudo [16:27] so i can confirm that no body has ever been able to open the "su" :-) [16:28] asd2012: Not by default. [16:28] and also nobody is interested in it [16:28] isn't it? [16:28] the point is not having people remember 2 passwords, and instead consider their first account their "admin" account (able to sudo). [16:28] can somebody call me if you can change the menu set-up, like to make it transparent or anything else [16:29] but u know what [16:29] ssta if you are telling me how to use grep and su , you are really wasting you time. i could wget your whole life and then sed and grep it into my own [16:29] you are just troll [16:29] in my opinion [16:29] Can we get back on-topic folks? [16:30] i was trying to open "su" by guessing the password of it for the last 30 minutes !!! [16:30] and FAILED [16:30] asd2012: by default there's no valid root password [16:30] here i am [16:30] su will not work by default [16:30] !root | asd2012 [16:30] asd2012: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:30] so that's why i was unable to open it [16:31] ok [16:31] use sudo -i to achieve the same [16:31] now i have realised it [16:31] sudo su - -c passwd [16:31] from now i will use sudo [16:31] or define a root password as beandog said [16:32] why so many bugs in 12.04? [16:32] there aren't many use cases where defining a root password is a good thing...avoid it generally [16:32] but sudo will avoid you from having 2 passwords [16:32] dubios : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion. [16:32] will it be beneficial [16:32] beandog: please do not suggest enabling a root password without adequate warning. [16:32] Pici: meh [16:33] root is not to be feared [16:33] if i define a password for root then will it be beneficial ??? [16:33] asd2012: no [16:33] asd2012: no [16:33] so i must use sudo [16:33] for all my works [16:33] Why is bookmark in de HUD under Firefox not at the top of the list? [16:33] asd2012: I think we've been over this a number of times already. Please stop asking. [16:33] ok [16:34] the warnning is, don't use root priviledges unless you really really need it, don't go around starting browsers or irc clients or such, just stick to administrative tasks only such as installing/removing packages or reconfigure system wide settings etc. [16:34] i disabled NetworkManager, i configured /etc/network/interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf, i restart using console but it doesn't keep ip address. in /var/log/syslog there is a message: can't find host ntp.ubuntu.com. could you help me please?

[16:34] asd2012, you can just use sudo -i once [16:34] yes exactly dont start browsers in root and def no irc [16:34] which i am facing for the last 6 MONTHS [16:34] asd2012, do your administratives tasks then exit [16:34] unless you're an expert, in which case you know the risks already and can ignore warnings (but experts aren't Ubuntu's target demographic really) [16:35] ok === nikolja is now known as nikolja|odsutan [16:35] but what about my previous problem [16:35] ??? [16:35] i am facing it for the last 6 months [16:35] can i share my problem pls ??? [16:35] You would have to define the problem asd2012. You have just been going on and on about su. [16:36] ! ask | asd2012 [16:36] asd2012: 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).

This is important to me because I have mostly PDFs. What format does it normally use? [17:29] Unknown0BC: when the link drops, run: dmesg | tail it may give clues [17:29] ActionParsnip, It disconnects, not always, but when it does ( and it does to many times ) the connection dissapears from the Network manager list.

[17:30] Unknown0BC: try precise live CD, see if its better [17:30] Howdy folks... [17:30] Kompulsa: well amazon tries to push it's own format (azw) but you can also use .mobi . While the kindle can read many formats including PDF, PDFs won't be restructured to fit on your kindle (so you'll have to zoom and pan). Or you can restructure the PDFs using some 3rd party tool.

I have a question regarding Ubuntu when someone has a minute. 8) [17:33] hetrinity: ask away [17:33] Kompulsa: honestly I can't use it effectively to read PDFs (math articles). Something like the larger kindle DX may be better suited then. My advice would be to try with a friend's first to see if it works well enough fo r you [17:33] Kompulsa: calibre is an application that can convert pdf to mobi [17:33] Thanks [17:33] kaspir: The setting looks like this http://www.picamatic.com/show/2012/04/09/09/34/8337879_1024x600.png [17:34] kaspir: should be something similar [17:34] GirlyGirl:google produced this tho; xrandr -s 1280x1024 -r 75 [17:34] GirlyGirl: ok opened terminal [17:34] Is there a way to forward sound from a ubuntu x64 box without a soundcard, to a windows pc ?

I then decided to try the 12.04 beta out... I have two questions regarding the beta... (1) If I wanted to continue using the beta version until the final is released, will it become an actual 12.04 then, or will I have to reinstall at that time? [17:35] is it possible to get casper livecd persistence on nfs? [17:35] kaspir: check the tv manual [17:36] I haven't been able to pin down if it's possible, all the docs seem to focus on usb sticks [17:36] ActionParsnip, yes that makes sense.

[17:48] JoseMourinho: sry, didn't see, you want the daemon automatically started ? [17:48] GirlyGirl: ok so why would the refresh rate of the laptop determine whether or not it's displayed on the tv if ,like you said earlier, the two refresh rates don't have to match [17:49] dasei i want the daemon in up bar [17:49] like gnome 2.0 for example [17:49] ivan__: can't say, you are sure the speaker icons above the faders are on=couloured ?

[17:51] GirlyGirl: what would be considered the correct setting? [17:52] does 11.10 ship with a utility to extract files from a .iso? I don't have enough disk space to mount the .iso and copy the files, but if i could somehow remove the files from the .iso as i copy them out, that would work. is there anything like this?

[17:53] sddhrthrt, at any rate, it's not my question - I have no interest in Gnome 3. [17:53] DasEi: if you mean in alsa, it's green 00 [17:53] Tynach: Well, i was suggesting a unity solution, faced the same problem there [17:53] JoseMourinho: maybe in a minute, I Think my lappy has such , will look, second, booting it now [17:53] Hi, I have a package which is in compress file .tar.gz, how can i install that program! im using ubuntu 10.04 plz help [17:54] Tynach: Anyway chuck [17:54] JoseMourinho: I do not think it will show up in the top. It should show up where the rest of your notification icons are though. I think they may be in the bottom right or something. Not 100% sure as I do not use gnome. I do know that you will probably need to unload networkmanager before loading wicd though [17:54] salaria: tar zxvf foo.tar.gz [17:54] salaria: generqally though, prefer to install software from the repository (software centre I suppose) [17:55] ShooterMG, I don't think it comes with it by default, but you can install iso mounting software in Ubuntu from the repositories. [17:55] "iso mounting software"? [17:55] What is that besides mount -o loop ...? [17:55] Tynach, s/he already said that there's not enought disk space to mount the iso [17:56] Tynach: basically my problem is that i have a .iso that i need to extract, but i don't have enough space for temporarily storing two copies of each file [17:56] bekks, it's different in that you have a fancy interface. [17:56] umm, mounting an iso takes no diskspace [17:56] ssta, tar zxvf is used to extract files of install? [17:56] salaria: yes [17:56] *or install? [17:56] and dasei. I installed the program into practice. PC connects, but unlike gnome gnome shell 2 in the icon does not appear that detects an internet connection. [17:56] ShooterMG, mounting does not take any disk space. You can mount the iso, select files, hit 'Cut', and then paste them where you want them. === Robert_ is now known as Guest93354 [17:56] ShooterMG, I think. It may be that mounted ISO files are read-only. I don't know. [17:57] hmm [17:57] ssta, I want to install the package not extract? [17:57] Tynach: A gui for mount? [17:57] Mounted iso files are read-only, of course. [17:57] bekks, I think the ISO mounting software I've seen uses FUSE. [17:57] salaria: extract it, then look inside there for a README or INSTALL file or something. They all install differently [17:57] Thats not necessary at all. [17:57] salaria, there is no package, it's source code [17:57] salaria, what are you trying to install? [17:57] Tynach: You can just use mount -o loop ... without installing additional software. [17:58] salaria: but installing from the repository is generally much better [17:58] i have wampserver's package [17:58] bekks, I know I can, but maybe ShooterMG doesn't want to use the command line? [17:58] do i need to compile the source code [17:58] I thought archive mounter could mount them GUIwise? That's default installed I believe? [17:59] salaria: is that a LAMP stack? [17:59] ssta, yes it is but few softwares are not available under ubuntu software center [17:59] its wamp [17:59] JoseMourinho: yes in luvbuntu it's just wicd, that starts automatically and then has an icon in the right downsode corner [17:59] lubuntu* [17:59] salaria, 'wamp' basically means "Windows Apache MySQL PHP". The key word there is Windows, which means it's meant to run on Windows. [18:00] salaria: wamp is for Windows, lamp is for Linux [18:00] !lamp | salaria [18:00] salaria: 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+) [18:00] bekks: actually I'm using that command and I have the image mounted, but now I don't have enough space to copy everything out of it. if i could somehow do an mv on these files, that'd be great, but it seems like .iso is readonly [18:00] salaria, the Linux equivalent (and original) is LAMP, "Linux Apache MySQL PHP". You can just install the Apache and other files. [18:00] salaria: LAMP is the same thing, but for Linux I believe. You can install a LAMP stack from the software centre [18:01] I actually took a class on how to install/configure LAMP software (albeit on RedHat), and have plenty of practice doing it on Debian and Ubuntu. If you need help, you can ask me :) [18:01] ShooterMG: You cant do that, because a mounted .iso file is read-only. [18:01] i went to wamp's website and found that they have a linux package as well... so i downloaded... well, its all ok I ws just keen to know about installing tar.gz like files and got solution i believe. [18:01] can somebody help me with a black screen problem? [18:01] :) [18:01] I'm trying to use ubuntu for the first time and I cant fix the black screen [18:02] now I have configured web server manually using apt-get install apache2 [18:02] salaria: sudo tasksel install lamp-server [18:02] bekks, do you know if opening a .iso file with an archive manager will allow you to 'cut and paste'? For that matter, ShooterMG, why are you out of disk space? Is this just a small thumbdrive, or is your HD just cluttered? [18:02] salaria: as easy as that...and you have all the package managed advantages and none of the heartache [18:02] !source | salaria [18:02] salaria: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [18:02] Tynach: i'm trying to set up a call of duty server on my dedicated virtual, and my account only allows for 10GB :P [18:03] ShooterMG, do you have FTP/SFTP access? [18:03] Tynach: I know. An .iso file is always read-only from its content. You cant cut out files from an .iso file. [18:03] salaria: above is a guide for installing software from source, although it's discouraged if the software is in the repositories [18:03] I need help with the black screen problem can anyone help??? [18:03] Tynach: yeah, my next resort is to upload the files individually if i can't somehow get them out of the .iso [18:04] cool.. seems interesting. thank you geeks! [18:04] sw, that link talks about how to compile from source from a debian package containing source code, it has little to do with compiling from a .tar.gz file. === SoulShadow is now known as Shadows`BF3 [18:04] one more thing i would like to ask is about compiling linux kernel and booting it from USb.. any help? [18:05] ShooterMG, why don't you extract the files on your desktop, and then use FTP to just send them all over at once? You know, drag/select all the files, drag them over to the FTP? [18:05] it is really odd, since i get sound in sound>hardware when checking the speakers on the headp.. clueless atm [18:06] salaria, you don't need to compile the Linux kernel to boot it from USB. You need to download a bootable .iso file for Ubuntu (or other distribution), and then use "Startup Disk Creator". It should come with Ubuntu, or it will be available in the software center. [18:06] Stupid customization question: How do I add mini icons to the top bar in 11.10. I mean next to the mail/chat, network connections, sound, clock, etc. I want to have calculator and system resouces up there. === greenwolf_ is now known as greenwolf [18:06] Hi can I get help in installing "Gyache Improved" for Yahoo chatting and video conferencing. I've installed it and can do chat. But I cannot do audio and video chat. Please help me. [18:06] Hi can I get help in installing "Gyache Improved" for Yahoo chatting and video conferencing. I've installed it and can do chat. But I cannot do audio and video chat. Please help me. [18:06] cargo23, they disabled letting you do that in 11.10. You have to add your little icons to the Unity bar on the left side. [18:07] How do I change fonts globally in all GTK apps? When I set the ones I want they don't seem to apply. I'm using MATE. [18:07] Tynach: boo, but thanks. [18:07] Tynach: yeah, that's what I'll do. thanks :) [18:07] Any Dell M6600 users in the crowd..

That was probably about 2 years ago... I really do see the need though. Try looking around for JPEG 2000 and a few other libraries. I know the video thing used weird codecs. As far as audio, I have no idea.

I've never used it before and I'm getting the black screen. The forums on the net don't seem to be helping me [18:10] my question is: are there any Dell M6600 users in the crowd, I am interested in some help on some very specific desktop configs and verifying my settings to ensure I have the best performance.. [18:10] is there an ubuntu equivalent to windows terminal server? [18:10] salaria, then you probably want to install a stripped-down Linux distribution, like Debian without any GUI. The Linux kernel by itself doesn't even have a command line - it's a very raw kernel. And bash with the kernel still doesn't have any basic utilities... You need the GNU userland tools at least. [18:11] xangua, sweet.... got the multiload running. Right up my alley, thanks. [18:11] Tynach: Thanks dear. is there any solution to use yahoo for voice and audio chat? [18:11] JViz: Take a look at the "LTSP" project. === aslkdfghalwrifu is now known as raidhtc [18:11] salaria, tynach: there is damn small linux (dsl) and trinity rescue kit that fit that bill.

The bottom one is not: http://i.imgur.com/kpeOT.png [18:12] bekks: thank you [18:12] where is located get_dvb_firmware script? [18:12] kaziweb, that would be using Gyache Improved... And I don't know enough about the situation right now to say how to get that working properly. I myself have moved to GTalk and Skype. [18:12] Is there any solution to use yahoo for voice and audio chat? [18:12] cargo23, I have used trinity rescue kit. same like that, im looking for another program to work on. Have they used kernel too? [18:13] Tynach, can u refer me any link to download? [18:13] xskydevilx, I know this will sound retarded, but try setting the proper fonts in gnome-tweak-tool, then log out/back in. [18:14] Tynach: Fine, I'll try it for the 10th f***ing time.

Now all of them asking for yahoo chat. because all of them were using yahoo for voice and video chat. I don't know how can I help them. [18:16] kaziweb: there is gyache but I believe its dead. [18:17] kaziweb, yeah, I know that situation quite well >.< Hmm. I'll play around in it, see what I can do. [18:17] ActionParsnip, that's what we're talking about. Gyache Improved.

Support HERE will get you far more support. Think about it [18:21] especially-corn, no, it does not defeat the purpose. I myself run KDE as well as Unity. Ubuntu is more about the software availability and the utilization of the Debian package manager, than the user interface. [18:21] help with make error on Ubuntu 12.04? [18:21] sconstantine: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin [18:21] especially-corn: not at all.

[18:22] can somebody help me with a black screen problem? [18:22] !mintsupport | i7c [18:22] i7c: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[18:22] kaziweb: gyache is all I know. I've not used Yahoo! chat for ages. Surprised anyone still uses it [18:22] ActionParsnip, i know you can, i did it myself a couple of times but it always seamed like ubuntu didn't want me to have a different de, i had problems with weird sound, font too small (dpi issues), mounting privilleges problems, the list goes on and on [18:23] ActionParsnip, instead of settings being configured system-wise it seamed to be configured de-wise [18:24] especially-corn: could settle on a DE then install Kubuntu if you like KDE, Xubuntu, Lubuntu and so forth. Makes a cleaner OS too [18:25] ActionParsnip: Don't know. but people are still using yahoo. which is rubbish to me as well. [18:25] especially-corn: hopefully as unity matures, it will be easy to have it installed alongside other DEs. At the moment that's not as easy as it ought to be... [18:26] ActionParsnip, that's still avoiding the issue of things being configured only in one de and if you want to switch you have to repeat the job of setting a lot of things up [18:26] things that you shouldn't, as i mentioned earlier dpi or sound or privilleges to name the most important [18:26] I've got to upgrade to Windows 7 on a Dual boot - Win7/Ubuntu 11.10 machine. How do I put grub back on there after I upgrade? [18:26] ssta, this seams to be a problem in lubuntu or ubuntu pre-unity [18:26] especially-corn: you have a point, its all I can suggest personally [18:26] ./get_dvb_firmware does anything? [18:26] especially-corn: Different des wms act differently reguardless of the distro. What are you trying to do? [18:27] is there a way to pass a script as a command to run on chroot? (i.e. chroot /path/to/root and run build-this.sh when it's there?) [18:28] ActionParsnip, i know that this conversation won't change ubuntu's policies but i just wanted to share my thoughts [18:28] especially-corn: yep, it's always been a problem in Ubuntu. multi-user systems with different DEs just don't work as well as they should sadly. THe easiest way I've found to have it all work reasonably well is to have different DEs in different chroots [18:29] babble: If your root path is independent you can use a .bashrc / .zshrc to accomplish that probably. [18:29] especially-corn: sadly that makes it harder to start them from the DM...it's easiest to login on console and chroot and startx manually...which is really messy imo [18:29] If I boot off a live CD can I do an update-grub? [18:29] especially-corn: try a few DEs, choose one then reinstall wifh only that DE - to summarize [18:29] oh, hm. I didn't think of putting it in .bashrc :) [18:29] star314, i pretty much always startx manually [18:30] does anyone know what Places>Connect To Server>Windows Share" [18:30] actually does? [18:30] babble: But if it's your main .bashrc it will always run. Find a way to specify a different one just for chroot [18:30] the 'mounts' aren't showing up in mount output [18:30] ActionParsnip, i am a openbox user but and it was absolutely impossible for me to use it without issues without loading this gnome-settings(whatever it was called) app that pretty much had all the proper settings in it [18:30] Evit: sure, using a chroot. Omgubuntu has a guide called: sticking it to grub [18:31] this is a separate chroot (I'm building the prerelease Xfce in a chroot so I can package it when it's done and don't need to have its build dependencies in my regular system) [18:31] ssta, i pretty much always startx manually, not such a big problem but i miss the simplicity of just having a .xinitrc and whenever you want to load a different de you just change one line in that file and you're good to go because settings were done system-wise [18:31] especially-corn: Are you trying to get gnome keyring working in openbox? === microp11 is now known as microp11|out [18:32] especially-corn: yeah, ubuntu fails in making that easy sadly. If you wanted to work on it, I'm sure that resources would be made available to you to do it with [18:32] bobo37773, no, i was just trying to have a usable dpi size, and get rid of sound issues, every time i would open a menu i got this annoying click which only got fixed if some gnome process was running in the background, i don't remember the name but basically when i loaded that gnome process the dpi was right, no sound issues, i was allowed to mount [18:33] drb [18:33] Is it possible to escape the hang that happens when dragging a control on a remote X window, other than killing the remote application? [18:34] GirlyGirl: I can't find anything about the refresh rate in the manual [18:34] especially-corn: Just put whatever process you want to run in your openbox autostart file or in your .xinitrc (or set a custom .xinitrc per wm type setup) [18:34] Hi is there any solution that I can do voice and video chat with yahoo messenger users? [18:34] kaspir: Should be listed as "modes" or something e.g 60Hz [18:35] I do this at least 3 times a week.. Accidentally drag something -> Entire local X session hangs -> Have to find another computer to log into the remote machine and kill that app -> Go back to first and re-do whatever was lost. :/ [18:35] ActionParsnip, so I can use the live CD [18:35] Hi, is there any solution that I can do voice and video chat with yahoo messenger users? [18:35] bobo37773, well of course that's what i ended up using at the time but that is a completely unnecesary process [18:35] GirlyGirl: It says 60hz at the top of the screen when i turn it on [18:36] GirlyGirl: Wait i found a chart [18:36] ssta, i'm pretty sure they're doing this on purpose [18:36] especially-corn: I guess you could simplify it by creating a conditional if then statement in your .xinitrc [18:36] ssta, because debian has that functionality built in [18:37] kaspir: Note some tv's can't go to there max res and refresh rate with vga but only with Hdmi === vijeshm_ is now known as vijeshm [18:37] especially-corn: I don't know about that. Unity is quite new, and the easiest way to get stuff working they want is to infect gtk with it. I have hopes that it will be less intrusive in time... [18:38] GirlyGirl: it says for the resolution that I'm in, I have the correct refresh rate [18:38] bobo37773, a good workaround would be to move all startup (or the essential ones) processes to a global autostart list instead of the default de-s list, however that is just that, a workaround,it completely avoids the issue of why the settings are held in this gnome process and not as a bash script [18:38] especially-corn: No scratch that. I do not think it would work correctly since the wm hasnt started yet [18:38] especially-corn: this discussion is getting somewaht off topic though...the zealots will start to shout at us :) We can continue it in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want [18:38] kaspir: So you have selected a resolution and refresh rate in Ubuntu display settings? [18:38] I changed the gnome-tweak-tools' fonts and nothing. Still no changes. [18:39] especially-corn: Openbox has its own startup script anyways. [18:39] bobo37773, /etc/xdg/autostart starts processes after the session started, that would be a good place to place scripts to name one [18:39] Hi, is there any solution that I can do voice and video chat with yahoo messenger users? [18:40] ssta, it's ok, i never really wanted any real solution just to complain about it and maybe someone else agrees and the complaining continues till someone does anything about it, thank you for having this discussion with me :) [18:41] bobo37773, you are right, openbox does have it's own startup script but i think that should be for openbox-specific configurations such as what taskbar you want here and the environment variables not for dpi and sound problems === yigit is now known as Artemius23 [18:41] bobo37773, thanks for trying to help tho, i appreciate it [18:42] kaziweb, I can't get GyachI to compile here.

[18:54] kaspir: what does X say about the hdmi port? check the X server log file first [18:54] hello, i have a stupid question.. can i remove a windows xp partition from ubuntu 6.06 dapper drake that *used to* have vm ware, but no longer have any use for it? [18:55] pastillegirl: Windows xp is on a physical disk or virtual disk? [18:55] kaspir: my tv also said to use HDMI1 for pc, but that port is busted so I use HDMI2 ... still works fine [18:55] pastillegirl: Also 6.06 is eol [18:55] !eol | pastillegirl [18:55] pastillegirl: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [18:55] virtual GirlyGirl [18:55] evit: i'm not sure, this is a load balancer (HAProxy)that failed and what i could find is the eth0 went prmosicious which means all traffic is accpeted [18:55] Hello [18:55] pastillegirl: Just delete the vbox virtual disk file [18:55] GirlyGirl: this is what I have for resolution config http://www.picamatic.com/view/8338027_Screenshot_at_2012-04-09_14:52:09/ [18:56] pastillegirl: But seriously you have to upgrade [18:56] sparky-:how do I check x [18:56] kaspir: /var/log/Xorg.0.log, read it, near the end. paste it online maybe? [18:56] ok, thank you, i'm such a noob but thought i would ask anyway :) [18:56] thanks :) [18:57] ciao [18:57] railsraider, Ntop will give you stats on a network segment just like Wireshark but with much more detailed statistical breakdowns and it can produce output in the form of a web interface via HTML [18:57] kaspir: ccsm has no control over refresh rate of display ... it just likes to know the refresh rate for compiz to work [18:57] kaspir: It is not a monitor setting tool [18:57] evit: yes it also opened up all traffic to eth0 [18:58] railsraider, opened up? did it change firewall rules? [18:58] kaspir: There has to be a gnome equivalent to the one I showed you [18:58] railsraider, it didn't open up anything unless you got hacked [18:58] railsraider, ntop doesn't open ports or make your server "insecure" [18:58] if eth0 switched to promiscuous ? [18:58] GirlyGirl: There is but with the last distro upgrade they took out the refresh rate option [18:58] Promiscuous mode is when your ethernet card accepts ALL traffic it receives. It's used when you're running a program like Wireshark to listen to the network (most effective in a hubbed network, or on a mirror port on your switch). [18:59] railsraider, it is when Ntop is running [18:59] railsraider, I know what that means [18:59] hi, is there any lenovo thinkpad t60p users? i'm using ubuntu 12.04 beta2 with unity on this machine. and psensor program shows 90 degree celcius at gpu. Is it normal? Or should i choose a lighter DE, or clean the fan and other hardware? [18:59] kaspir: That sounds stupid .. Glad I'm on KDE [18:59] kaspir, what graphics drivers are you using? [18:59] so is it the reason my load balancer failed? [18:59] Arnold: IDK [18:59] Arnold: He has an Intel GPU [18:59] dohb: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin [18:59] railsraider, we cannot determine that without looking at the logs. [19:00] railsraider, why not make sure that HAProxy isn't on the same port as Ntop [19:00] Hmm. So that means it's an open source driver then. That's a shame. Both ATI and NVidia have their own tool to configure the resolution, refresh rate, and more! [19:00] Willkommen im Schmuddel-Web [19:00] evit: i will be gratefull if you can help me fid out why it failed [19:00] railsraider, or stop ntop and just investigate the logs [19:00] xangua: ok. [19:00] what should i look for evit [19:01] railsraider, it might be better to go to the Haproxy channell [19:01] Wo windige Webmaster neben geklauter Pornografie und raubkopierter Film- und Musikware gern auch an ertrickster Markenwerbung verdienen [19:02] Ihren Besuchern Tracking-Cookies, Trojaner und andere Schadsoftware unterschieben. [19:02] evit: the whole server went down / unresponsive [19:02] had to hard boot it [19:02] do you have any local access to it? [19:02] kaspir: By your screenshot, ubuntu believes that the external monitor works. Problem must be with the TV [19:02] or graphic card [19:02] railsraider, do you have a backup? [19:02] !de | jbs [19:03] jbs: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [19:03] railsraider, why not do a DD of that drive and then restore it elsewhere to see what is up [19:03] railsraider, then restore from backup to a known working configuration [19:03] sparky-:http://pastebin.com/pjWSwMkg [19:03] Jordan_U, Oder ihre Seiten überhaupt nur betreiben, um Werbegelder von zahlenden Kunden zu kassieren, für die sie nie eine Leistung erbracht haben. [19:04] GirlyGirl: Can't be the TV, it's brand new, it supports this, and other displays go through that port everyday [19:04] i have another server not in use and i can copy the HAprpxy config to it [19:04] Der ach so heiße Tipp am Telefon ist keiner, das Phänomen seit langem bekannt. Gut möglich, dass da nur eine Krähe der anderen das Auge aushacken will. [19:04] railsraider, is this on Ubuntu server/ [19:04] there's nothing really on it beside the load balancer [19:04] yes [19:04] jbs: Nur English hier. [19:04] Oder verpfeift sich da jemand selbst, um per Presse mehr Seitenaufrufe zu bekommen? [19:04] railsraider, You may want to look at a HID [19:04] jbs, dieses kanal ist auf English [19:05] Es tut mir leid [19:05] evit: what is that? [19:05] Pech gehabt, wir nennen keine Namen, keine Internetadressen. [19:05] kaspir: Could you test the laptop with a different external display? [19:05] !de > jbs [19:05] jbs, please see my private message [19:05] Einen Bericht ist die Sache trotzdem wert: Zum einen, weil es um einen besonders krassen Fall geht. [19:05] kaspir: you have lvds, vga, displayport and tv on your card right? two of those are connected according to the log. is lvds your panel? (is this a laptop or desktop?) [19:05] hello, after removing compiz (xubuntu 12.04) still have setings and shortcuts from compiz [19:06] !pangolin | mikislav [19:06] mikislav: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) will be the sixteenth release of Ubuntu. Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [19:06] can someone please help me instill spotify on ubuntu? I've never done this before. [19:06] railsraider, host based intrusion detection [19:06] sparky-:laptop [19:06] GirlyGirl: No my desktop monitor doesn't have an hdmi port [19:06] kaspir: so lvds is probably your native panel. how are you hooking it up to the tv then? vga port? [19:06] jbs: ich verstehe nicht was du sagt, aber ich muss dir sagen, das du sollst nach #ubuntu-de gehen, um Deutsch zu sprechen. nur Englisch hier. [19:07] sparky-: vga (laptop) to hdmi (tv) [19:07] kaspir: wait wait ... how? [19:07] kaspir: You have a vga to hdmi convertor? [19:07] railsraider, go check out the haproxy documenation to troublshoot the issue(s) you see [19:08] i read so much of them they are not that clear, i've been looking for additional info all over the web [19:08] Frankie1: http://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/ [19:08] question: 500 GB HD. i think like 2-3 GB will be swap, how much system, how much storage? [19:08] Girlygirl: Yes I do. I said that earlier. And I used a monitor cable to connect my laptop to my desktops monitor and it connected right away [19:09] you guys seem suprised maybe im not using the correct term [19:09] help us out http://natureconservency.bbnow.org/ [19:09] User850: not the right channel for this, sorry [19:09] User850: no spam please [19:09] evit: this server is ubunutu karmic 9.10 [19:09] im using a cable that connects from a monitor port to an hdmi port [19:09] xangua: I found that, but I don't really understand how to do the terminal commands yet. I'm only on my second day of linux and i don't wanna mess it up [19:09] kaspir: describe the "vga to hdmi converter" [19:09] railsraider: karmic is no longer supported, better upgrade [19:09] kaspir: Sometimes these convertor things don't work in linux ... can you connect to tv using vga? [19:10] kaspir is the input of the monitor thats connected to the laptop vga or hdmi ?\ [19:10] why would you mispell the domain?! [19:10] GirlyGirl: sadly no [19:10] railsraider, did u automate patching on it? [19:10] i7c, legend says twice your ram for swap, a few tens of gigs for root,the rest for home [19:10] lapion: the one im trying to connect to you mean? [19:10] railsraider, might want to do that next time so you don't get hacked [19:10] tigers: thanks. [19:10] i personally didn't do anything to it, previous sys dude may did [19:11] kaspir: i'm much more interested in how you hook things up ... i am betting you are doing something "creative" [19:11] kaspir: I've a strong feeling the converter is the problem here. How does this converter work? is it like a cable with a vga end and another hdmi end? [19:11] kaspir you are using dvi or hdmi ? [19:11] railsraider, you should replace it after doing some investigation to the system and any other systems related or on the same network [19:12] evit: it's a production servr [19:12] vga and hdmi are not compatible [19:12] lol. 1 sec i'll take a pic [19:12] i think its the oldest machine [19:12] kaspir: why can't you just describe it? [19:12] railsraider, oh. Well you've got some investigating to do [19:12] how do i start? what should i look for in the logs [19:13] I'm sorry if i sound like a newbie [19:13] kaspir is the hdmi connector bigge or smaller then the vga connector ? [19:13] bekks, [19:13] railsraider, look at systems logs and then the haproxy logs http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ [19:13] I can't get eather of my wifi usb rt73 chip set to work in wep mode in ubuntu 11.10, tried network-manager and wicd, they both work ok in ubuntu 10.04 with wicd. [19:13] After changing the proxy in gnome-network-properties how do you get it to force apps to start using the new proxy settings? [19:14] I turned off the proxy and yet still nothing can access http [19:14] railsraider, Google Ubuntu server security or go to the wiki /community documentation [19:14] sparky-: because I did and nobody understood [19:14] is it possible to ubuntu have a keylogger ? [19:14] evit: there's fail2ban installed on it [19:15] how can i track it [19:15] railsraider, lock down ssh and move away from passwords to key based auth with passphrase, use a firewall, maybe a HID, maybe centralize logging [19:15] kaspir: try me. i have to go soon, so please be quick. i can just tell you to do something else instead, but that doesn't do much for you [19:15] railsraider, did you use conventional passwords? [19:15] for ssh? [19:15] evit: no passwords for ssh only keys [19:15] kaspir: if everything else fails, the route you SHOULD go is displayport -> hdmi cable [19:15] sweb: yes [19:15] After changing the proxy in gnome-network-properties how do you get it to force apps to start using the new proxy settings? [19:15] arno-iptables firewall is installed and configured [19:15] sacarlson: how can i track it ? [19:15] kaspir: i can pretty much guess you're doing some kind of vga<->hdmi cable with a gender bender ... that's my guess [19:16] and chkrootkit [19:16] kaspir: and that's what i mean by "creative" [19:16] trying to instal spotify. how do I add a line to my repositories? I found /etc/apt/sources.list but it wont let me save changes to it [19:16] sweb: I forget but I've done it before just to test, found that in xorg that any user can read the xsession keyboard [19:16] sparky-: it's a cable i bought that has a 15pin on one side with the little screws on both sides, and the other side is an hdmi [19:17] kaspir: that is exactly the wrong thing to do :-) [19:17] Frankie1: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [19:17] sacarlson: my mean is somthing like spyware or trojan [19:17] railsraider, yes [19:17] railsraider, also you should be in #ubuntu-server [19:17] kaspir: that cable is meant to go from the side with more information (hdmi side) to the side with less information (the vga side) [19:17] thanks evit [19:17] ssta: i don't know what that means [19:17] sparky-: oh [19:17] railsraider, no problem [19:17] sweb: well only an authorized user can do it === emperor is now known as Guest46078 [19:17] kaspir: the reason is that hdmi side also has analog vga signals ... so if you had HDMI signals to begin with, you can derive only the analog VGA signals out [19:17] Hey, I cannot install gimp. I'm having some problems. My Software Center won't load and if I use the terminal to download Gimp my computer can't fetch the files [19:17] kaspir not possible hdmi and vga are not compatible.. [19:17] railsraider, good luck, I'm sure it will all work out. =) [19:18] Frankie1: you need to have root privs to write to /etc/apt/sources.list. THat will run gedit as root. Type it in a terminal [19:18] sparky-: I've seen some chinese devices that convert vga to hdmi or dvi before. They have a chip in them though not just a direct cable. [19:18] kaspir: but if ALL you had are analog signals, you can't get to HDMI signal *unless* you buy a (expensive) conversion box [19:18] saluti a tutti [19:18] girlygirl: may be displaylink ... [19:19] hi there, i'm using ubuntu 11.04 and my problem is that i am not able to play youtube videos altough i installed adobe flash plugin installer [19:19] Hi, a small sound question. How come i can't turn down the sound with the icon top right courner in 11.10 but can adjust it in pulse? [19:19] sweb: I also wrote a trojan script but I call it a client aid [19:19] kaspir: so what you need to do is look for displayport (digital) cable to hdmi (also digital) cable. they're getting hard to find. [19:19] kaspir how many pins does the hdmi side have ? [19:19] lapion: give it up dude :-) [19:20] sparky-, it's probably a vga to dvi cable [19:20] http://www.picamatic.com/view/8338084_IMG_20120409_151425/ [19:20] behold [19:20] kaspir: locate a port on the side of your laptop that looks almost like hdmi port but with a notch at the corner. this is your digital displayport output [19:20] lapion: sparky- DVI to hdmi is common [19:21] girlygirl: not dvi, displayport [19:21] ssta: I think I got it working, thanks!! Kind of exciting. Question tho: is that command that you told me to run something that I should memorize? [19:22] sparky-: I think i see it. Looks kinda like a usb and hdmi mixed [19:22] sparky-: I've seen dvi too [19:22] Frankie1: probably, yes. The idea behind it anyway (gksu to get root priveleges when you need them) [19:22] well it si possble to fit a chip in a hdmi connector [19:22] kaspir: show me a picture of that port [19:22] but you guys saw the cable right? Im not just twisting wires together [19:22] hi guys i have just uploaded ubuntu10.04 i can not find my hardware drivers i have been download the Nvidia drivers but its not working i tried update and reboot still not working please help me Thank you [19:22] kaspir: yeah, it's probably a passive cable. how much did you pay for it? [19:22] $7 [19:23] kaspir: no way in heck is it going to be an active cable at that price :-) [19:23] kaspir: Is there some kind of box that can hold a chip in the cable? [19:23] kaspir make a picture in which the complete cable is visible and not only the ends of what could be 2 cbales === babilen is now known as Guest62935 [19:23] GirlyGirl, there might be a chip in the hdmi or the vga socket [19:24] GirlyGirl: no it's just a cab;e [19:24] kaspir: well, i told you what you need to do ... you just have to do it or not :-) [19:24] sparky-: im uploading the pic now [19:24] kaspir: Did you ever use this cable with anything and get a working output on screen? === Guest62935 is now known as babilen [19:25] i bought it specifically for this. first time using === nif is now known as boy`` [19:26] kaspir: I've a feeling this cable is useless. It is not technically possible to connect vga directly to hdmi! [19:26] kaspir: But most hdmi tv's also have a vga socket [19:27] Well i did buy it off the internet so that's what i get. Yeah I was suprised mine didn't have one [19:27] kaspir: http://goo.gl/A91VB [19:27] GirlyGirl, there are chips small enough to fit in a hdmi socket [19:27] kaspir: now the limitation here is hardware [19:27] kaspir: shall i go on about hardware? [19:27] sparky-:i don't think i have a port for that on my laptop [19:27] kaspir, have you tried the cable and gotten it to work ? [19:28] lapion: Doesn't seem like a $7 cable would have one [19:28] lapion. no this is what i bought the cable for [19:28] kaspir: you said you have something that looks like hdmi+usb :-) [19:28] GirlyGirl, there was a lawsuit between the consortium and a cable producer about this.. [19:28] sparky-: yeah pic was bad [19:28] kaspir, have you tried it since buying it ? [19:28] lapion: this is the first time [19:29] kaspir, so go try it before you chat in here over onproven technology [19:29] I think his cable works if the out signal is hdmi and in signal is VGA. But not the other way around. [19:30] lapion: isn't this chat room for giving and getting help? I needed help, I asked for it. [19:30] kaspir, what do you need help with ? [19:30] patience is a virtue [19:30] plusEV: You might be having a point there. or it may be a useless cable. A lot of chinese goods are made just so that people buy them not for actual usage [19:30] hi guys i have just uploaded ubuntu10.04 i can not find my hardware drivers i have been download the Nvidia drivers but its not working i tried update and reboot still not working please help me Thank you [19:30] connecting my laptop to my tv [19:31] so connect them allready.. [19:31] GirlyGirl: yea lols [19:32] you won't need help connecting them, it's a physical thing.. just as we can't help you holding it when you have to go [19:32] just what I needed. now everything is so much more clear. thanks friend [19:32] kaspir: already gave you the help you needed ... you got sidetracked [19:32] kaspir: I think your cable is useless . you will be better of using a USB to HDMI adapter and an hdmi cable [19:32] ive never seen a hdmi to vga befor.. seen dvi to hdmi.. [19:32] sparky-: no we were talking about a port.im uploading a pic === atze is now known as Guest7103 [19:33] kaspir: the way it went .. i asked for the log, you posted the log, i saw the connection, inferred about your lvds panel and vga, asked about the cable, and bingo problem identified [19:33] kaspir: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-Wireless-Adapter-Audio/dp/B0030C9V3C [19:33] kaspir: after the problem was identified i said to go with displayport to hdmi :-) [19:33] kaspir: trust me, you have a displayport port [19:33] is this the port i need to use [19:33] http://www.picamatic.com/view/8338098_IMG_20120409_153032/ === Guest7103 is now known as cr0wD [19:34] kaspir: but there is a hardware limitation (that we didn't get around to because you got sidetracked) [19:34] kaspir: That is LAN!

[19:35] kaspir, you dolt that's ESATA === girl`` is now known as car`` [19:35] kaspir: next to the lan port is probably proprietary out. is there another cable in the box somewhere? [19:35] kaspir: even [19:35] kaspir: Does the pc have an HDMI or DVI port? [19:35] sparky-, it's ESata [19:35] Hey, something wrong with the daily 64bit ISO, as I am unable to to get a working live USB out of it?

Esc is a bit special on that keyboard as well. I have to press Fn+the key where Esc is normally to get Esc behavior, but if I then press a number kez, nothing happens. I just tested that with a regular kezboard, and Esc followed by a number key also didn't emulate the function key. Do I have to enable that behavior somewhere?

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 ». [20:20] CobaltTiger: that's the entry in my fstab to make a 500Mb ramdisk [20:20] CobaltTiger: obviously the folder /var/ramdisk must exist [20:20] So I could change it to any existing folder name though [20:20] Like, for example [20:20] CobaltTiger: I use it for my browser cache :) [20:20] IE, /opt/bukkit/world ? :P [20:21] (oh god I've revealed my true intentions :V) [20:21] CobaltTiger: wherever you want, just not in /dev or /proc [20:21] or /tmp [20:21] Heard one more thing: tmpfs uses Swap on occasion when there's not enough RAM to go around. Any way I can force it to use RAM exclusively? I think ramfs is a thing? [20:21] beandog: well, a subfolder in /tmp :) [20:22] :) [20:22] CobaltTiger: tmpfs and swap are seperate things [20:22] CobaltTiger: you can make the OS use ram more by setting vm.swappiness quite low. [20:23] And where would I find that property [20:23] (I'm sllliiiiightly new to Linux, pardon.) [20:23] CobaltTiger: have a search online, you'll find stuff :) [20:24] True, true. [20:24] Noob bot [20:25] hi floodbot 1,2,3 [20:26] fdb [20:26] dfb\dfa\bfda [20:26] bdf [20:26] b [20:26] adf [20:26] ylmfos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:26] bsdf [20:27] I'm guessing that he won't be returning anytime soon [20:27] I am using 11.10 and want to restore a single file from backup but ubuntu will restore the entire backup with all the folders. Is there a way to restore a single file? [20:28] Kanerix: guessing by the nick, probably not supported here either ;) [20:28] Bisu[Shield]: what backup method did you use? === filBlau is now known as filBlau_away [20:29] Amusing [20:29] Hah. Mildly terrified of tossing echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness into a terminal with absolutely no confirmation or assurance that I did that right. :D [20:29] Does anyone know if its possible to print from Ubuntu webserver to a USB print server on a different network? (With LPD/LPR for example) === whiteman is now known as WhitemanE0 [20:33] CobaltTiger: if you run: echo "vm.swappiness = 2" | sudo tee -a /etc//sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p it will stick [20:33] oops [20:33] CobaltTiger: delete one of the slashes in the command [20:34] CobaltTiger: sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p [20:35] Firfox derped. [20:35] Anyway. Could echo "vm/swappiness=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf also work? [20:35] I don't want to start a flamewar, but where do you think ubuntu is superior to openSUSE? (Please just the advantages, I'll ask the same question in #opensuse, so they get their chance too :) ) [20:35] That's how I read to get it to stick [20:35] CobaltTiger: no as sudo doesn't traverse the redirection [20:36] CobaltTiger: it's also vm.swappiness [20:36] ciao a tutti [20:36] italiani? english? [20:37] !it [20:37] 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) [20:37] thank you :) [20:37] Remind me what the other command was? >_> [20:37] There was a bit to it, I didn't recall it all, and as I said, firefox derped on me. [20:39] Cobalt_: what other command? [20:39] The correct way to get swappiness to stick [20:40] Instead of being root and sticking vm.swappiness=0 into sysctl [20:40] what is the best way to install a minimal commandline system? [20:40] chris_mh: can you provide some more context around what you're doing? [20:41] Cobalt_: echo "vm.swappiness = 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p [20:41] chris_mh, http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/ [20:41] I'm looking at ubuntu core, but I'm unsure whether that will have much, if any, of the usual commandline utilities [20:41] chris_mh: all default ubuntu installs have a pretty extensive command line system [20:41] !mini | chris_mh [20:41] chris_mh: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:41] chris_mh: there is a minimal ISO (12Mb), it's not the best but it's one way [20:41] if minimal is not core, then which should I use? [20:41] !core [20:41] i cant get my openvpn connection to start automatically on 11.10. Any ideas? [20:42] chris_mh: minimal install kernel+drivers+boot loader+some CLI tools. That's it [20:42] Cobalt_: the file has a lot of power [20:42] how does that differ from this? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/releases/12.04/beta-2/ and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core [20:43] Apparently so. [20:43] Cobalt_: you can tweak it to use more resources for networking, make the LAN a bit smoother [20:44] Which would benefit me trying to run a minecrack server. [20:44] i cant get my openvpn connection to start automatically on 11.10. Any ideas? [20:44] minecraft is unnecessarily resource-intensive...i recall there being an implementation in C++ that's a lot more performant [20:45] Oh I will -definitely- agree with that, Escerial. [20:45] Can't deny I enjoy it though. :< [20:45] Kind of a guilty pleasure, really. [20:45] agreed :) it's quite fun, even if you do feel a little funny after mining for six hours [20:45] what is the point of mionecraft anyway? [20:45] i'm scared that 0x10c might be even more of a timesink :\ [20:46] ActionParsnip: it's an existential statement about the pointlessness of existence [20:46] Hahaha [20:46] Escherial: I thought right then :) [20:47] ActionParsnip: Out of curiosity, what were the properties you mentioned that could allocate more resources to keeping networking running smoothly? [20:47] Good evening everyone. My terminal stopped working out of notghing. I've already restarted and no sucess in starting it again. Is this a known issue? I've searched on the web for people with the same problem bu I can't seem to find anyone. [20:47] Cobalt_: on the topic of running a server, i was thinking about giving this a shot: https://github.com/SpaceManiac/Glowstone [20:47] but network optimizations will of course help, too [20:48] Cobalt_: how much RAM does your system have? [20:48] actually, never mind, this looks somewhat abandoned [20:49] not to be *that guy*, but this is hardly the channel to be discussing any of Notch's games, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [20:50] No one with info on "terminals that vanish out of no where"? [20:50] right, i'm done :) [20:50] hey guys [20:50] what apps/packages does Ubuntu include to give better laptop support, anyone know? [20:50] ActionParsnip: At the moment, I'm working with an old laptop with 4GB in it [20:50] Cobalt_: I add this to all my systems: http://paste.ubuntu.com/922447/ [20:50] Cobalt_: I don't have a rig over 3Gb, helps a lot. [20:50] I'm on another distro trying to figure these out and maybe porting them over if possible... [20:51] you don't have to be done Escherial, you just have to talk over there ;P [20:51] Xgates: I doubt it will work well moving stuff between distros [20:52] Will the minimal cd allow me to do a minimal install without installing gnome, unity, and the like? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:52] sharkmonkey: yes, it install a CLI install by default. It will offer the DEs to be installed but simply decline [20:52] sharkmonkey: of course, thats what its designed for [20:52] sharkmonkey: its fun to install minimal then install slim and openbox :) [20:53] Thanks [20:53] ActionParsnip: well if all we're talking is source then it should unless there has to be something specfic in Ubuntu that is not available, but do you know what apps/packages Ubuntu adds in for the support, because I know they add in a few packages for laptops [20:53] auronandace: The page seemed to be giving me the impression that it was only designed so that it would install the latest packages [20:53] minimal in the small download sense === Kompulsa is now known as Tetracomm [20:53] small initial download [20:55] sharkmonkey: it meant to be minimal so you only download what you need and want [20:55] sharkmonkey: indeed, it's pretty tiny. It will upgrade the minimal install too if a web connection is available [20:55] sharkmonkey: like archlinux [20:55] Hey ubuntu guys, got an error through wubi, tried it twice. Error reads "An error occurred unsubscriptable object" wubi-11.10-rev245.log is here http://pastebin.com/XNfPqHUE [20:56] It's like linux just doesn't want me. [20:56] Krikkit_Cat: do you need wubi? why not go for a proper install? [20:57] Krikkit_Cat: did you just download wubi, or did you download the whole ubuntu ISO? [20:58] auronandace When I tried a proper install from USB, I get an error of Nouveu drivers and vesa drivers. [20:58] Anyone know how to download entire youtube clips to HD?? [20:58] ActionParsnip I just downloaded wubi [20:58] I used unetbootin before === DangerOnTheRang1 is now known as DangerOnTheRangr [20:59] Krikkit_Cat: download the Ubuntu ISO and MD5 test it, then mount it using magicdisk or daemontools [21:00] what is the command which allow me to change network IP address [21:00] !nomodeset | Krikkit_Cat [21:00] Krikkit_Cat: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:00] ?? [21:00] auronandace What's !nomodeset, a bootflag? [21:01] nvm [21:01] oshekfeh: you can use ifconfig [21:01] How do I change the window border width in gnome so I dont have to see for a pixel wide line every time I want to resize a window? [21:01] seek [21:01] That's not the problem auronandace, it hangs on boot with driver conflictions [21:01] Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to show the programs running with a gui on the console. So it would replace a taskbar. [21:02] ActionParsnip: thanks, but can you give me an example??? [21:02] Krikkit_Cat: what drivers are installed? [21:02] Hi, I am using 11.10 on a toshiba w. nvidia graphic card. When using Wings3d some rendering options are missing out although the packages are installed ... any suggestions on how to fix that ? [21:02] auronandace it is a fresh install [21:02] oshekfeh: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/03/ifconfig-7-examples-to-configure-network-interface/ [21:02] oshekfeh: found useing websearches... [21:03] Krikkit_Cat: that is odd, what version? [21:03] I need help browsing launchpad: how can i see the patches applied *by ubuntu only* in a package imported from debian? Case in point is: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/reportbug/+bug/395126 [21:03] Launchpad bug 395126 in reportbug (Ubuntu) "*** ERROR: "Ubuntu" BTS is currently unsupported" [Medium,Fix released] [21:03] auronandace Every distro, every version. From scientific linux, to backtrack, ubuntu to mint.. it hangs. [21:03] ActionParsnip: :D [21:03] Krikkit_Cat: what hardware do you have? [21:04] oshekfeh: try searching a little rather than immediately asking for clarification [21:04] auronandace it's a 540m non optimus [21:04] Where is the custom metacity theme xml file stored? [21:05] ActionParsnip: :P [21:06] Or, in another way: when I see "* Merge from Debian testing. Remaining changes:" in an Ubuntu changelog, WHERE can I find the diffs/patches applied by ubuntu when merging? [21:06] Krikkit_Cat: mint, ubuntu and backtrack are hugely similar so you aren't really testing much by 'trying' those. [21:06] ActionParsnip: Anyway, thanks [21:06] Krikkit_Cat: how recent is that? do you have more specs handy? [21:07] auronandace http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.to?poid=2000011084 [21:08] Krikkit_Cat: wow, 3d laptop [21:08] auronandace It's so asum~ [21:09] auronandace I saved for like a year for it, it's basically like a 3ds mashed with a kinekt to make 3d [21:09] Krikkit_Cat: i wouldn't be suprised that nouveau doesn't support it, it seems brand new [21:09] What' I'm hoping though, is that the third party IR, IC drivers aren't the problem [21:10] Hi! Is there some Indicator expert here? [21:10] *any [21:11] Krikkit_Cat: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 [21:11] Okay ActionParsnip, I'll try that VIA USB, will return with results === yigit is now known as Artemius23 [21:15] Kraln: if you are wanting wubi, you don't need external storage. Just mount the ISO in windows === whiteman is now known as whitemane0 [21:16] MestreLion: the info is in the bzr branch, bzr branch lp:ubuntu/oneiric/reportbug; then check bzr log --include-merged | less; find the merge you want to look at (for instance 5.1.1 to 5.1.1-1ubuntu1) and: bzr diff -r5.1.1..5.1.1ubuntu1 | less; [21:17] thank you trism ! [21:18] i have all codes , but i dont know how to create file to run the script [21:19] trism: meanwhile, I was able to find (after a LOT of googling) http://patches.ubuntu.com [21:19] jwtiyar: touch /where/you/want/it/nameoffile.sh [21:19] hey guys [21:20] auronandace, i saved it with .sh but said command not found [21:20] jwtiyar: the file extension doesn't mean anything [21:20] anyone able to help out with some install issues i seem to be facing? [21:20] jwtiyar: did you merk the file as executable? [21:20] dillon58078: what issues? [21:21] jwtiyar: ./nameofscript [21:21] well i just threw this computer together bout 3 weeks ago been trying to get it to dualboot ever since with no success [21:21] jwtiyar: make sure you've: chmod +x nameofscript [21:22] first i thought it was the motherboard and i heard of people installing linux on it with no problems then maybe i thought it was the bluray drive [21:22] Can I disable a key on my keyboard? A key I never use (the delete/period key under the numeric keypad) seems to be damaged, because at random times it will just start pressing - either deleting text/files randomly, or inserting tons of "."s. Can I just tell ubuntu to completely ignore this key? [21:23] i start the install it makes it to the copying files part of the installation and then i get an error and install quits says something about try burning it at a slower speed blah blah blah i know thats not it cuz i used the disk to install ubuntu on my laptop with no problem [21:23] gsr: Maybe you can remove the key [21:23] dillon58078: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? === q0rban is now known as q-rban [21:24] gsr: yes, '$ xev' and press the key to obtain the key code, and then '$ xmodmap -e 'keycode = NoSymbol'' [21:24] anli - my screen sometimes goes green, and a few other problems like that make me think that when I dropped my laptop (on numerous occasions), its caused some connections to the board to short in an out. that seems more likely, because ive cleaned and checked the key [21:24] gsr: or alternatively, rip the key out [21:25] sw: ahh, ill give that a shot (the first one, not the second :)) [21:26] * n7 is away: n7 away1!!!!1 [21:26] im not the most experienced linux user bro but its not the disk for sure cuz i used it to install ubuntu on my laptop [21:26] im not sure if 8 core cpus are compatible with linux yet or if its the bluray drive im using [21:27] !away | n7 [21:27] n7: Please do not use noisy away messages and nicks in Ubuntu channels. It is annoying and unnecessary. Use the command "/away " to set your client away silently.

[21:29] !md5 | dillon58078 [21:29] dillon58078: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [21:29] i got the iso from the official website and burned it with nero its good [21:30] lilstevie: or can you post some links to the kernel + modules you liberated from honeycomb? (or ICS)? [21:30] Is there an equivalent to /etc/debian_version? [21:31] dillon58078: source is moot, it can get mangled in transit [21:31] dillon58078: it's a common problem, burning an operating system at default speeds can yield a bad cd. Did you run a checksum on the disk after burning it? [21:31] sharkmonkey: cat /etc/lsb-release [21:31] Hi [21:31] i used the same disk to install ubuntu on my laptop [21:31] worked perfectly [21:31] ActionParsnip: cool. thanks again. [21:32] i even tried installing mint 12 and fedora [21:32] hello guys [21:32] how to ensure that my sound card is installed? [21:32] i don't have /var/dsp [21:32] i want to use OSS module [21:33] ActionParsnip: rather ironic its called lsb-release, doesn't the linux standard base use rpm? [21:33] bonois23: salut Yacine ! [21:33] auronandace: afaik yes ;) [21:33] dillon58078: tried a different cd drive? could be a bad drive/cable. Have you tried intalling froma usb flash drive? [21:35] tried installing from usb and it wont boot off it says prefetch is not set or some shit and sits there [21:35] i used universal usb tool that everyone recommended. [21:35] dillon58078: so it works on everything except that computer? [21:36] yup [21:36] dillon58078: nice. [21:36] dillon58078: okay but you can liveboot everything just fine? [21:37] dillon58078: whay GPU do you use? [21:37] it wont let me liveboot linux mint but it lets me liveboot ubuntu but when i try to install it from within the liveboot it gets an error while copying files and stops [21:37] dillon58078: have you tested the RAM of the system using the install media? [21:38] no. it runs windows 7 just fine why would i test the ram? [21:38] running an os installation from ram (livebooting) is a bit more ram intense [21:39] i have 16 gb of ram it shouldnt be an issue [21:39] either the ram is acting up, or the Harddrive is. it isn't about the amount [21:39] it's about one weak link in a rather massive chain [21:39] dillon58078, you said you can boot ubuntu usb fine? [21:40] pangolin: no, he couldn't actually [21:40] cant boot it usb gives me a prefetch error [21:40] dillon58078: thats not a memory test, the memory test on the CD will test it fully [21:40] i don't have /var/dsp...how to diagnose that? [21:41] DelphiWorld: is the sound device recognized by pulseaudio? [21:42] theborger: any command please ? [21:42] theborger: that's a gigaByte Sound card [21:42] so if it was you guys where would u start troubleshooting my issue? [21:42] DelphiWorld: it's actually just the sound options menu, off the launcher icon [21:42] oh theborger i use console;) [21:43] DelphiWorld: why are you pinging me? [21:43] DelphiWorld: i am not answering your questions [21:43] theborger: tab completion error and idiot screen reader [21:43] DelphiWorld: :D [21:43] :P [21:43] thebwt: so... i use only shell du to accessibility issue [21:44] im running asus 990 fx amd fx 8120 16 gb ddr3 1600 bluray/dvd/cd combo drive ati radeon hd saphire 6970 [21:44] DelphiWorld: that's a bit beyond my power level, sorry. [21:44] dillon58078: try the boot option: nomodeset [21:44] no problem thebwt at least thank you for your atempt [21:45] anyway if someone can help that would be fun. [21:45] dillon58078: what do you need 16gb RAM for? [21:45] Is there a filepath to access SMB shares at the command line? [21:45] blz: ~/.gvfs if you run a desktop [21:45] lmao what would anyone need an 8 core for? lol cuz i wanted it thats why [21:46] dillon58078: strange [21:46] DelphiWorld: you can try running your program with padsp, but it may or may not work depending on the program [21:46] ActionParsnip, thank you. I'll give that a try === Goku is now known as Aguay [21:46] trism: what is padsp ? [21:46] how do i go about trying the boot option : nomodeset? [21:46] My main drive is an SSD. I have a separate hard drive that is much bigger. I'd like my Home folder to stay on the SSD while my pictures folder, videos and music are on the bigger drive. How can I accomplish this? [21:46] im kinda new to linux [21:46] !nomodeset | dillon58078 [21:46] dillon58078: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:47] dv310p3r: use symlinks from the home folder to the platter based storage [21:47] ActionParsnip, yup, that'll do it. Thanks. [21:47] dv310p3r: I advise you also put your browser cache and /var and swap on the platter based drive too [21:47] ActionParsnip, why's that? [21:48] DelphiWorld: it redirects access to oss compatible audio devices (such a /dev/dsp) to pulseaudio. For instance: padsp python; then I can open /dev/dsp in python and write to it [21:48] dv310p3r: less wear on the SSD, plus you don't need speed for those things really [21:48] Anyone know if Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid will upgrade from Thunderbird 3.1 to 11 ? (Without a PPA) [21:48] ActionParsnip, makes perfect sense. I'll do that. Thanks! [21:49] hej [21:49] :> [21:49] trism: fail :( [21:49] trism: padsp darkice [21:49] markss: you can use the comressed archive from the thunderbird site [21:50] ActionParsnip: Right. I guess I mean does anyone know if Ubuntu will update Thunderbird to 11 in their 10.04 Lucid repository. [21:50] markss: extract the folder to /opt and then symlink the binary to run thunderbird into /usr/bin you will then need to manually make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications to run it, or you can just use the ppa [21:50] markss: likely not, you would need a backport repository. [21:50] i don't evean see my sound card on lspci [21:51] ActionParsnip, .gvsf/ seems to be empty... Normally all smb shares should be there?

It says: Requires installation of untrusted packages and in the details, it says: libnm-glib-vpn1 libnm-glib2 libnm-util1 network-manager network-manager-gnome. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. Thanks. [22:00] well, your way was a lot easier [22:00] and Thanks [22:00] (: [22:00] common sense seemed to get away from me [22:00] StepNjump: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get update use: http://pastie.org please (or similar) === daz_ is now known as Guest93153 [22:01] I'm trying to mount a single drive from a NAS (which died) set up as RAID1 but not having any luck. I've pastebin'd the output of fdisk, mke2fs, e2fsck and mount commands along with some more info if anyone would be kind enough to take a look: http://pastebin.com/Aqshc4Pv [22:01] I'm trying to use ubuntu 11.10 with persistence from a live usb. I see the -- persist flag being passed on the boot line, but for whatever reason, my changes are not being persisted. Any help in troubleshooting is greatly appreciated. [22:01] ubuntu [22:01] any linux geeks here? [22:02] Quite a few wuzang, if you have a question go ahead and ask. [22:02] FT232 drivers [22:02] I here that this should work straight off the bat with > 2.6 kernel [22:03] is that correct? [22:03] I'm trying to use a bus pirate [22:03] hey everyone [22:04] Thanks ActionParsnip I think you put me on a path... GPG error http://ppa.launchpad.net [22:04] I'm probably at the wrong address here, but i'm using a fresh install of ubuntu with the (installed by ubuntu) proprietary ati driver. However, the driver does not allow me to set the resolution for my display to its native resolution (only other resolutions) how can I correct that? [22:04] The issue with the live usb is, of course, the laptop I'm trying it on requires restricted drivers for broadcomm wireless, which require a reboot. On reboot, they're gone [22:05] wuzang, probably. You can always recompile it if you're missing something [22:05] do I really need to recompile? [22:05] even doing a simple test like: touch been.here, reboot, ls -al shows that the file disappears across reboots [22:05] wuzang what is your kernel version? ("uname -r" in the terminal) [22:05] seems like a pretty standard SPI device [22:05] wuzang, I did mention that you should try it first ;) [22:05] er [22:05] it's > 2.6 [22:05] maybe I didn't [22:05] nonetheless [22:05] try it first [22:05] heh [22:05] Kanerix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:06] StepNjump: you missed the number off the pastebin link [22:06] wuzang: if it's not auto-detected when connected, try booting the kernel with the device attached. might help to have the hardware available during initial probe. [22:06] 2.6.24 [22:06] So, I just realized Ubuntu has an incorrect version of the Windows flag on their site (looks flipped) -- anyone with access to Canonical folks? (e.g. http://www.ubuntu.com/download) [22:06] StepNjump: can you pastebin the entire text as I asked and give the link. Thanks [22:06] mneptok, thanks for your answer [22:06] I powered my machine on [22:06] 2.6.24 is pretty old, but that should be older [22:06] Wuzang, it's only included in 2.6.31 and above. [22:06] whilst the device was connected [22:06] ah [22:06] there you go [22:06] kfizz [22:06] thanks [22:06] I shall update [22:07] Kanerix: 2.6.24 is a hardy kernel [22:07] I just wanted to check with you linux geeks [22:07] From this driver page: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm Double check that that is the correct hardware to which you're referring. === mitch is now known as Guest81724 [22:07] yes it is kfizz [22:07] i saw system76.com advertising for pre-built ubuntu laptops [22:07] FT232RL [22:07] and i was like "advertising systemd with ubuntu"....whaaaaa [22:07] scientes: yeah they do that <3 [22:07] i opened up the device [22:07] wuzang, then hopefully a kernel update will help you out. [22:07] and that chip is in there [22:07] yeh I will [22:07] wow [22:07] you geeks really are knowledgable [22:07] wuzang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:07] you deserve more credit === malkauns_ is now known as malkauns === wuzang is now known as wutang [22:09] ActionParsnip: no need. by telling me to do apt-get update, I realized that one repo is not compatible. Thanks. It's working now. Didn't realize that apt-get update was the same as running the update manager in X. I learn as we go. ;) [22:09] StepNjump: np man [22:10] hi guys [22:10] ActionParsnip: I know you guys like it when we, newbies, do 'some' of the work.. lol [22:10] nice [22:10] StepNjump: its appreciated :) [22:11] good ubuntu night [22:11] StepNjump: makes users more autonymous [22:12] how do i register a nickname?

It has an external cd/dvd drive that won't work. How can she diagnose it or how can I figure out if ubuntu even supports it? [22:15] try a booting with a usb key [22:15] does putty have a word search? [22:15] you mean that might work, but not on the ubuntu one? [22:16] you want to search in the scroll text of an xterm session forbiddenjutsu ? [22:16] yes [22:16] you could "select all" maybe, and paste it into some editor that can search? [22:16] not sure if putty can... [22:17] im sorry i misread your question [22:18] GodFther, that's okay.. I just meant.. how can I check if a particular external cd drive works with ubuntu? [22:18] shomon: boot with the device detached, log in and let the OS settle, plug it in and wait 10 seconds, then run: dmesg | tail may give clues [22:19] ah okay [22:19] so check if it appears on dmesg, and then maybe search according to that name... [22:19] if you can boot from it, it works. [22:19] shomon: it will give clues as to what is going on [22:19] no, acer aspires don't let you boot from their external cd drives apparently [22:19] this one never did.. I had to make a live usb to get it going [22:20] ok thanks ActionParsnip - do you know if there is a guide of some kind for diagnosing external harddrives? [22:20] shomon, mine does you try f12 at starting the computer? [22:21] shomon: dmesg is all I can suggest. Once its been in a while you may see it if you run: sudo lshw -C disk; sudo lshw -C drive [22:21] okay. thanks. Taking notes and will go and see her tomorrow :) [22:21] I asked this earlier but my internet connection weirded out. I have a headset for 7.1 surround but it only will display 5.1 on my desktop. I checked it on my laptop and it has the 7.1 option. Any idea why it works on one but not the other? [22:22] Does the alternate cd let you do the equivalent of a minimal install? [22:23] sharkmonkey: it will install in text mode and give a desktop OS [22:23] Is there a minimal cd for the new beta release? [22:24] I guess there are lots of small distros based on ubuntu or bits of it [22:24] like lubuntu - a light ubuntu [22:25] sharkmonkey: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [22:26] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Did you find that by exploring/renaming the directories? [22:27] sharkmonkey: went to the minimal website, copied the link for oneiric then changed the word 'oneiric' in the link to 'precise' [22:27] sharkmonkey: thats the 32bit minimal ISO btw [22:28] /part #ubuntu [22:28] lol [22:30] Ah. Right. I found the 64 bit version. :) [22:31] is there a way to search for window titles in expose? i.e. if i have firefox, thunderbird, emacs open, if i start typing emacs and hit enter emacs will be selected? [22:38] Gah. How can I clear out a log again? Something like su '>/var/log/mail.log'. cat /dev/null > /var/log/mail.log won't work [22:39] Does anyone in here know how to convert a .stl Openscad file into a .dwg autocad file? [22:39] redscare: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764636 #5 may help [22:40] Hey, I seem to have messed up unity. It's a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10. Everytime I pin an app to the launcher, after closing and reopening it duplicates itself. [22:40] ActionParsnip: any good way to get that to actually bring the window to the front? [22:42] redscare: http://superuser.com/questions/183680/gnome-ubuntu-how-to-bring-a-program-window-to-the-front-using-a-command-line [22:42] redscare: simple websearching found that.... [22:44] ActionParsnip: thanks for your help. I was aware of the command-line options but was hoping there was something built-in to compiz/switcher. it would be cool to start typing a window's name and have the switcher dynamically narrow the windows it shows [22:46] Hello [22:49] ActionParsnip: if interested, i found what i was looking for: compiz-plugins-extra [22:49] Not sure if im being rude here but, im in need of help in recovering lost files (music photos etc) from a deleted os (windows xp) and i want to know if there is any program in helping me recover those files [22:49] redscare: nice :) === dmogle is now known as Guest80715 [22:50] UbuntuNewbie: try scalpel or foremost [22:50] UbuntuNewbie: why do you not have a backup? [22:50] Another question from my friend: she has a usb 3g modem, and it won't unmount: it says "stop unit failed: no such file or directory" [22:50] When i'm trying to copy something from nano, what do I do about the end-line $ being copied instead of the actual line? [22:50] how can I diagnose that, and is it okay for her to just ignore that message? [22:51] ActionParsnip i literlly forgot to do it ^^" [22:52] UbuntuNewbie: try foremost and scalpel. Get a backup [22:53] Understood and thankyou I originally wanted to dual boot but it seems that i can only get one os alone lol [22:54] Not really tech-savvy with this [22:54] lol [22:58] UbuntuNewbie: if you can copy data to a USB drive, you are tech-savvy enough to backup [22:59] Understood lol Thankyou!

Will it port over or will it be a new install and I will have to start all over? [23:51] like formating? [23:51] scott_z: you need to start over, run a final full bnackup before you start. If you have a seperate /home partition this is especially easy [23:51] scott_z: you need to remove the 32bit OS to put in a 64bit OS [23:51] can i make my own unity lens and how to find right tutorial about?

Is your data not important to you? [23:58] ActionParsnip i have another problem! I apologize if i'm being rude, but every-time i try to watch a youtube video i can only get a solid black screen :/ [23:58] ActionParsnip: are the file formats compatible? or should I also install Open Office. I have to be compatible with my kid who runs open office on a windows platform. [23:58] scott_z, they are very similar, but not exactly the same. Libre Office's license is now completely free open source, OpenOffice.org had some elements owned by individuals. that's the main difference, and the look has changed a little, [23:58] scott_z: yes the file formats are the same [23:58] ActionParsnip: thought ~ was $HOME.. sorry newbie..
