[00:53] someone attacks a piece of software running as the root and compromises it [00:53] they have access to the whole system [00:54] * irbinix is away: Gone away for now [00:54] guest____, you could break stuff inadvertly / some programs might simply refuse to run as root. [00:54] running as an unprivileged user gives you protection and safety knowing they only mess up that user's system. [00:54] You should not need to use root all the time [00:54] guest____: web facing apps unecesarily running as root are a security risk [00:55] has anyone used VMware? [00:55] guest____: account can be attacked as it is enabled, rather than being disabled giving zero chance [00:55] bfedoralinux: I'm sure many do [00:55] guest____: no accountability of control of whom can do what on the system [00:55] I am the only one on the system [00:55] No one else will have physical access [00:56] guest____: ok that's reduced but its still bad practice [00:56] Completely foolish?

[01:53] hey guys im pretty new to ubuntu and i need some help figuring out why my nvidia driver will not install right [01:53] cause i've had embedded platoforms that i couldn't debug cause i couldn't fit the -dbg packages [01:54] thriller: what nvidia chip do you have and is it a dual gpu (switchable)? [01:54] scientes_: i don't know of one, but usually that's how we'd do debugging with vendors anyway [01:54] how can i tell if ubuntu is 32 bit or 64 bit?

[01:57] I just have a general question about the beta release of 12.04, if I install the beta will I have to download it again once the final release is available, or can the beta be upgraded to final online just by updating it? TIA. [01:57] Lawndart: all beta questions in #ubuntu+1 please [01:58] ok, thanks. didn't know I was in the wrong place. [01:58] Im upgrading from 11.04 x64to 11.10 x64. As an ex_WIN user i beleive clean installs are best. Im assuming i should do a clean install rather then upgrade (is upgrading via iso even possible?) [01:58] 1) I have a backup of all my downloaded packages, can i just re-add these using synaptic (espesially nvidia-current) Im assuming some natty specific updates wont install. [01:58] 2) Whats your usual Ubuntu upgrade checklist? i also have /home on a separte partition so if i do a clean reinstall i should only check /boot and / for reformatting. [01:58] ActionParsnip: how come i lost my second monitor when i installed that? [01:59] caz_au: there's no need to keep those downloaded packages around ... unless they're something real special (doubt it) [01:59] gd connection problems [01:59] apt-get clean baby [02:00] _Tristan, you get your q answered? [02:00] i answered but i got digconection [02:00] caz_au: the one advantage of backup/reinstall on ubuntu is it will be faster :-) i'm looking at 2+ hours upgrading my system, while a fresh install would take significantly less time to get back up and running. [02:00] <_Tristan> scientes_: No, not answered, unless I missed it [02:00] sparky-, it wont make it faster [02:00] _Tristan, the share is the one to share ON, not the one to share [02:00] _Tristan, windows does it the same way, they just show the GUI differn't so it makes some configurations harder [02:00] Bry8Star, uname -m [02:00] <_Tristan> so I should set my ethernet connection to be shared? [02:01] scientes_: not "run faster" but "complete faster" [02:01] _Tristan, select the interface you want to share on [02:01] scientes_: sorry about the unclear meaning of "faster" [02:01] sparky-, not really, cause you can use it while upgrading the dpkg way [02:01] <_Tristan> scientes_: ILU [02:01] <_Tristan> thanksbye. [02:02] sparky-: Yeah ill do a clean install. the main problem is i dont feel like downloading nvidia-current again. is nvidia packages release specific.. i dont think they are.oh well, i guessill find out soon enough. [02:02] its only around ~50mb but internet in Australia is poop >.> [02:02] caz_au: nvidia packages are kernel-specific, so you'll have to rebuild it anyway [02:04] CAZ_au, all you have to do is apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current [02:04] sparky-, WRONG [02:04] CAZ_au, and you dont even need to do that, if you dont have the deb still [02:04] dkms should deal with it [02:05] also, i use apt-cacher-ng [02:07] okay, thanks guys. i guess i can also scap any updates my friend downloads from his APT cache as he is also installing Ubuntu 11.10 64bit today aswell.

Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [02:35] there's ubuntu-announce, ubuntu-devel, etc. but im looking for a general user one [02:35] c_smith: you don't mount it, you connect to it with a media device. If you want to mount it I suggest you install a samba server in the phone and share a folder. It will show up as a Windows share and you can mount it [02:35] ejv, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:35] my vintage 1970's flashlight rules [02:36] !ot | mkultra_ [02:36] mkultra_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[02:40] AcidRain2012: could try pressing ALT+F2 and run: xkill [02:40] FreezingCold: openssh-server [02:41] ActionParsnip: ...yeah no [02:41] FreezingCold: most apps in the repos is free [02:41] FreezingCold: what does '...yeah no' mean?? [02:42] FreezingCold: are you meaning a free ubuntu shell account? Or your own ssh server? [02:42] dropbear is quite nice FreezingCold [02:42] wylde: Shell [02:42] FreezingCold: I thought so, just wanted to clarify. Thanks. [02:44] FreezingCold: I used to use this one: http://sdf.org/?join [02:45] I have currently only ubuntu beta2 installed, once live version comes do I have to reformat and install all over again? [02:45] giiker: Can I do reverse ssh tunnels with it? [02:45] naggu: #ubuntu+1 please [02:46] FreezingCold: hmmm, never tried it, but I don't think so. [02:49] freezingcold: reverse ssh tunnels? for what purpose? why not use tor or some other anonymizer then? [02:53] FreezingCold: what are you attempting to accomplish? [02:54] FreezingCold, a SOCKS 5 is probably what you want [02:54] scientes__: dunno [02:54] FreezingCold, google it [02:55] FreezingCold: well if you dunno, how can we help.... [02:55] if you just want to be annonymous, welll i could do a whole essay on that [02:55] but tor is good [02:55] also: firefox+adblockplus (easylist, antisocial)+refcontrol+cslite+many many more [02:56] FreezingCold: for annonymity, start with a Live CD first, i'd say... [02:58] scientes__: plus a long list of bad sites resolving to localhost :) [02:59] ActionParsnip, adblockplus does that for you [02:59] (in firefox) [02:59] ActionParsnip: "localhost is home" :) [02:59] and much faster [03:01] scientes__: i don't use firefox, I cat a list of addresses after each new install. Works well [03:02] ActionParsnip, ubuntu also dropped the xul-ext-adblockplus package [03:02] which still exists in debian [03:03] ActionParsnip, do you know why ubuntu started statically linking libxul in xulrunner/mozilla packages? [03:03] or at least not using the same libxul across firefox+thunderbird [03:03] ActionParsnip: Seems that my libavcodec is lacking MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. Any ideas how to fix this? [03:03] Has anyone had an issue where Ubuntu would not install on their rig but will install in a VM? [03:04] nope [03:05] scientes__: no idea, I don't pay much attentio to anything mozilla makes tbh [03:05] why does this program quit when i ltrace it?

[03:10] in a vm [03:10] oh wait, u said it doesn't [03:10] Drecondius, hit esc on the livecd, and maybe remove "quiet" (hit tab) [03:10] to see the kernel's output [03:11] Drecondius: are yuo using a CD or a USB stick? [03:11] you hit tab on the early screen, and esc right after that when you get the flash screen [03:11] sup guys, im running gnome 3 and trying to switch a gnome shell theme using gnome tweak tool [03:11] both [03:11] same issue [03:11] and it's not working [03:12] james-ubc, the ubuntu's appearance menu in system-settings might be overriding it [03:12] tried opensuse 12.1, fedora 13,14,15, ubuntu, kubuntu [03:12] Drecondius: so you are installing into a VM? [03:12] Drecondius, and none of them work? [03:12] i have it installed in a vm right now [03:12] Drecondius : give this a try, disable SMART under the bios, also check drive for damage/error using mhdd, spinrite or OEM disk Util [03:12] they install fine in the vm [03:13] Drecondius: did you test your system RAM using the install media? [03:13] scientes__, how would i fix that? [03:13] Drecondius, also turn on AHCI mode in bios, and turn off ......IDE in BIOS [03:13] yarp [03:13] Drecondius: have you set the BIOS to failsafe defaults [03:13] clean as a whistle [03:13] james-ubc, just change it in the appearance menu [03:13] Drecondius: do you have the latest BIOS? [03:13] Drecondius: if no Linux boots, I'd look at the hardware [03:13] afaik [03:13] Drecondius, but looking at the boot messages is far clearer [03:13] *clean [03:14] hi guy i just want to ask a question if you can help me thank you . i have download 12.04 unbuntu i have 2 screens so one of them not working and it does not detect or displays 2 screen if you can help me thank you [03:14] i'll give a more verbose mode a go and report back [03:14] !precise | rafi [03:14] rafi: 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 [03:15] maybe a dumb question, but i have my cpu overclocked currently in windows .. if i download / install ubuntu, will it be overclocked there as well [03:16] zjo: if you clocked it in BIOS, then it will be the same in any OS [03:16] right [03:16] okay [03:16] I have an internal DNS server set up.

I want to set up dd-wrt so that when some one is getting an IP address via DHCP that it gives them the internal DNS server's IP address as their DNS server. How would this be done?

I want to something that lists the names and then whitelist things as I go along. Is that possible?

Should I google that? [03:24] Xayrz, but its not for ranges [03:25] KarmaComa: ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support please [03:25] Xayrz, its for programs [03:25] I did [03:25] no answer [03:25] KarmaComa: the wait [03:25] Anyone have luck getting wifi working in 12.04 on a MacBook? [03:25] KarmaComa: Precise is not supported here [03:25] oh ok :) [03:25] Xayrz, you don't want to block like that period, the most you can do it use wireshark and just see whats going on [03:25] newb-untu: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please [03:25] K [03:26] scientes__: I don't what to block what (period)? [03:26] KarmaComa: you could take your chances over in #kubuntu. [03:26] i do, but no one knows about the problem i have [03:27] KarmaComa computer model ? [03:27] processor? intel core 2 duo [03:28] ati amd hd 5570 VGA [03:29] KarmComa : older PC's / Wifi you might need to download the supported driver, I have an older HP 2.3GHz Bcom wifi I had to manually configure, syslog provided this info [03:29] i'm connecting through a direct router cable [03:29] Is there IP list with ranges named (similar to ipfilter) that includes all publicly known ip ranges? For example I would like for my ip program to list the ip and the company name (if publicy known). Most of these IPs can be looked up on the web and the information can be fetched, so I would assume there would be some list somewhere? [03:29] Xayrz, i already said, use wireshark [03:30] and no, there is no list, its called reverse DNS [03:30] Xayrz, use dig -x [03:31] What is "dig -x" [03:31] Xayrz, reverse dns, what you are asking for [03:31] Xayrz, man dig [03:31] Thanks man.

See !classic [03:52] freesey, at the login window select [03:52] thank you both [03:52] Its just quite confusing to me [03:54] how's it going all- i have a question. is there a way to tunnel only specific applications through a vpn and how would i go about setting htat up? i can't seem to find stuff online on it, maybe i'm searching for the wrong things [03:54] so I just deleted Ubuntu partitions using cfdisk ... restarted the computer and windows doesnt boot because of grub [03:54] how can I solve this [03:54] munki : VPN or SSH ?

[03:55] and i dont have a windows cd [03:55] scientes__: i just removed the partition tables [03:56] share, oh, if linux is still there, then use the live cd, and use grub-install --boot-directory= [03:56] man grub-install [03:56] scientes__: what [03:56] windows is there [03:56] windows partitions are there [03:56] share, if you remove linux, you have to restore the windows boot loader however [03:56] ubuntu partitions are gone [03:56] scientes__: yes, how? [03:56] share, ok, then windows resore cd [03:56] I DONT HAVE IT [03:56] share, there are other methods [03:56] grr [03:57] does KDE still exist as a window manager? [03:57] munki : apps on linux box I assume and you're running linux and/or Xserver win app ?

[03:57] nice [03:57] share, you can find the msdob mbr program [03:57] it use to be in debian [03:57] grrr [03:57] but they removed it over copyrigh tissues [03:57] who is using KDE 4.8.2 ? [03:57] i just want to restore windows grub [03:57] share, its in the archives [03:57] it should be there! [03:57] i only touched linux partitions!

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:58] i want to put like it was before [03:58] share thats enough [03:58] share, yeah, well, ubuntu cant distribute them cause they are microsoft's [03:58] sda1 windows system sda2 windows folders... sda3 etc were Linux and are deleted. [03:58] share, but i am saying ubuntu use to, and you can get them out of the archives, much easier thatn windows recovery cd [03:59] share, also windows MBR hasn't changed since at least XP so XP recovery cd will work for vista, 7 [03:59] scientes__: are you saying to use grub thing to restore windows bootloader? [04:00] munki : I connect via VPN to another network, then I create a ssh script to connect to TOR browser app : as such : ssh -X username@192.168.1.252 ./start-tor [04:00] share, there is a debian package that can do it, but its only available in the archives, it was removed over copyright converns [04:00] omg i only want a solution [04:00] share, the only official way to do it is a windows recovery cd, any version [04:00] Do I need to restart to enable the classic gnome shell? [04:00] freesey, logout and log back in [04:01] I did, it doesnt seem to be using the classic shell :\ [04:01] its only 512 bytes share, google mbr, and you might be able to figure it out and fix your problem [04:01] but we cant really help you is distributing Microsoft's code [04:01] scientes__: im gonna explain: before Ubuntu was installed, there was only Windows. After installign Ubuntu it created grub menu, right? now I deleted all Ubuntu partitions and grub is still showing and I cant boot windows [04:01] freesey, its not the exact same as classic [04:01] scientes__: do you understand what i just wrote? [04:01] share, exactly [04:01] Oh there we go [04:01] comgen: i think it's a similar setup, i'd like to have rtorrent -(vpn)-> internet but leave irssi -> internet [04:02] for some reason it wasnt selected correctly [04:02] THanks [04:02] share , yes and you received the answer, several times [04:02] share, google mbr, if you install the windows mbr it will all work, but we cant distribute the windows mbr [04:02] scientes__: so, how can I solve this? [04:02] scientes__: ubuntu deleted windows mbr? [04:02] share, its 512 bytes in a special place on the disk [04:02] comgen: how did you set it up [04:02] yes and I think it's there. [04:02] share, he just told you.. go to ##windows [04:02] share, yes it did, and any windows recovery cd will fix it [04:02] bazhang: go to windows? ubuntu ruined the windows mbr [04:03] they can also help you in ##windows share [04:03] okay i was wrong this doesnt seem to be what Im used to [04:03] share, and to proove i know what you are talking about, you are getting grub error 22 [04:03] this fancy side bar is still here and whatnot [04:04] scientes__: I dont have windows cd. what can I do [04:04] munki : bash script on my machine calling : ssh -X username@192.168.1.253 ./start-tor : start-tor script is located on the VPN network : you can also just drop to console and type: ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here firefox& <<--just an example [04:04] its a laptop, it didnt come with cd === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [04:04] they dont give cds anymore [04:05] ah [04:05] so it is a little bit different- you're using ssh tunneling while i'm trying to set up an actual vpn with openvpn [04:05] Do I need to disable unity in the compiz manager to shut off the side bar? [04:05] munki : the tunnel format is : ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here name-of-app-or-script-here-on-the-remote-machine [04:06] share, as i said there is a debian package, but its hard to find, or you can ask in ##windows, or you can download it somewhere else [04:06] yes that is using ssh however my vpn server only supports openvpn or pptp connections not ssh tunneling [04:06] share, its only 512 bytes [04:06] brb [04:06] munki : no connect VPN then tunnel to box, you can do this many ways [04:07] how do i install simple-CCSM on my ubuntu 11.10 . it not aviaialbe on software center [04:07] Munki : once you're connected via VPN that network becomes local to you, ssh, ftp, etc as normal [04:07] the issue i'm having is that i'd like to connect to a VPN, but no have it route all the traffic through it, only a specific application [04:08] scientes__: you're telling me i cant put it like it was before [04:09] so how the hell should i removed ubuntu [04:09] share, you can if you just had a little patience, and ability to listen [04:09] and in the linux world, such a action is easy [04:10] something like dd if=/windows/mbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 skip=not sure but could google for it [04:10] and it would even give you the command on the mbr wikipedia page [04:10] omg what is that im not gonna risk some command i dont understand [04:10] if you just tried instead of whining here === jamie is now known as Guest27615 === Guest27615 is now known as Bean [04:10] but the people in ##windows are going to be able to help you the most [04:11] share, and seriously there is a debian package that will do it all for you [04:11] just go and find it [04:11] just installed ubuntu and trying out different features. I ended up here, so Hi [04:11] Bean, welcome! [04:11] okay no matter what window manager I choose it fires up the default unity one or whatever it is for 11.10 [04:11] irc has been around for along time, and still chugging bean! [04:12] I must say I've been messing about with it for about half an hour now, and its ALOT better, and easier than windows. I struggled to teach my nan to use windows 7, but i think i could teach her to use this easily [04:12] irc was created back in 1988 [04:12] IRC is 4 years older than me XD [04:13] how do i remove my bottom bar alone and i like to install cairodock on my ubuntt 11.10 [04:13] Anyone have any suggestions of applications of features of 12.04 i should try? [04:14] or* [04:14] four-20 : right click the panel : remove/delete/move - properties [04:14] Bean, oh yeah, GNU/Linux is the easiest for people don't think they are "computer people" [04:14] Bean, try "cheese", and "oneshot", gimp, inkscape, audacity, blender [04:14] which date is the official 12.04 release slated for? [04:15] grandrew, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [04:15] April 26th I believe grapenuts [04:15] @Scientes, I have used windows since I was 10, Always been able to use it. Did my diploma at college in ICT and it was HEAVILY windows based. But Ubuntu, i dont see how you wouldnt be able to work out how to do something instantly [04:15] okay am I a total idiot and gnome classic is supposed to look new? I want the window /desktop interface I had in 10.04 is that not gnome? [04:15] Bean, thats how i feel too, windows tries to hide stuff from you [04:16] Bean, what in windows requires an hour of download is one line in GNU/Linux [04:16] scientes__: I cant find that mythical package [04:16] ... [04:16] grape : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [04:16] and @Grapenuts, Cheese, oneshot, inkscape and Blender, i shall look at. Gimp and audacity however, I did use on windows, and found them much easier than their Very pricey competitiors [04:16] freesey: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ [04:16] Bean, yeah all the "big-box" software of linux is cross-platform [04:17] Bean, but the real value is the integration, and the fact that "advanced features of windows" are just standard, first-class objects in Linux [04:17] well, not all, esp with server stuff [04:17] @Scientes, I decided to install ubuntu because my win7 Crashed, and for the life of me i couldnt work out how to reinstall. Everytime i got past language setup, it said CD/DVD Driver missing. hours and days later, i thought oh sod it, USB Ubuntu here i come [04:17] glad i did it now, [04:17] and does anyone know how to turn down the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity [04:17] Bean, yeah in linux you dont ever get stuck on a hardware upgrade treadmill [04:18] !ot | scientes__ Bean [04:18] scientes__ Bean: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:19] soreau: ubottu [04:19] will it boot windows? [04:19] haha, tabspazz [04:19] Whilst this is the support section of freenode, i do have a question [04:19] share, yes, that will work, and will boot windows [04:20] share: the bootloading should be managed [04:20] scientes__: thats what I wanted to to in first place [04:20] thats why i deleted the ubuntu partitions [04:20] I downloaded rakarack, and tux guitar, Im assuming i can run an aux cable with a converter to make it 1/4 jack into my guitar and it should play through my laptop [04:20] share, they why didn't you just say that :P [04:20] is it possible to update to 12.04 in 11.10 [04:20] share, most linux installers have a "custom partitioning" option [04:20] scientes__: but will the new installation replace that old grub [04:20] cause I hate the GUI [04:21] freesey, the gui in 12.04 is the same, but there are other options in both [04:21] share, yes [04:21] scientes__, I cant get the gui to change [04:21] freesey: yes, if you don't like Unity, install xfce4 and use that. The guide I gave shows how to make the gnome session look like Gnome2 [04:21] freesey : console : sudo do-release-upgrade -d [04:21] !gnome-shell | freesey [04:21] freesey: much easier to install xfce [04:21] Ive installed gnome-shell package and it just bloody isnt changing it [04:21] @Freesey yes, if you DL the 12.04 ISO, and the universal USB thing where it turns it into a usb bootable, then change your boot priority to USB, it will run live from the pendrive with the option to upgrade, install etc from the mounted version of 12.04 [04:21] !gnome-shell [04:21] scientes__: grub will be installed to the only hdd in laptop [04:22] hmm [04:22] freesey, you have to click the ubuntu icon while logging in [04:22] and select "GNOME" with the foot icon instead [04:22] scientes__, I cant just log out and do that? I have auto login set to on [04:22] freesey, if you do it once, it will change the default [04:22] is it possible to make alias which behaves like ctrl+l which runs 'clear'? [04:22] when I log out and do it, it still fires up the new gui [04:23] (for your account) [04:23] freesey, there is also gnome fallback/classic [04:23] freesey, im using gnome-shell right now [04:23] m477 : edit .bashrc : nano ~/.bashrc [04:23] so if I reboot and turn off auto login you think itll take? God I hope [04:24] Are there any other chatrooms within freenode? and how do i access them if there are? [04:24] Bean, /j channel name [04:24] comgen what do you mean to do with .bashrc file? [04:24] yes bean, type /join #[name of channel] [04:24] freesey, doesn't need a reboot, apt-get install gnome-session [04:24] I dont know the names of any haha, [04:24] m477 : you can add aliases to .bashrc under the user account [04:24] Bean: there are LOADS of channels on freenode [04:25] Bean, also if you are using xchat, right-click-->server-->list of channels [04:25] pure linux/ubuntu NEWB had it for about an hour [04:25] scientes__: thats gonna take a while to load ;) [04:25] m477 : for example : alias dir='ls -A --color=auto' === billy_ran_away_ is now known as billy_ran_away [04:25] comgen: I know but assume that I want make alias ctrl+a which runs ls, is it possible?

[04:28] freesey: do you have software centre open, or updates installing? [04:29] i had synaptic open [04:29] ActionParsnip, you were right, it crashes on the list [04:29] ActionParsnip, but it has worked b/f [04:29] and it said i already had the latest version... [04:29] gmmm [04:29] lemme restart and see since i turned off auto logon... brb [04:30] scientes: its a lot of chennels. alis is a better way to go [04:30] could ubiquity be any more worthless? [04:31] malv: it installs the OS from the install media to the HDD, I can't think of anything more crucial [04:31] seems like its completely incapable of installing on any non-standard layout [04:31] crashes, hangs, cryptic error messages. Total garbage application. [04:31] malv: which release? [04:31] all of them as far as I can tell [04:32] malv: did you update ubiquity before running it? [04:32] it's not like Redhat's installer that always works no matter the layout [04:32] no. i can try [04:32] comgen: I tried to add command 'ls' in keyboard shortcuts (dont know english name of this option), however do you know for instance where is it determined that ctrl+l behaves like 'clear' command [04:32] malv, you can set the layout before you boot [04:32] i am using beta 2 [04:32] ActionParsnip: should I remove boot flag from windows system partition? [04:32] it just hangs at some point [04:32] with the livecd, and the alternate also asks relatively early [04:32] malv: or use the alternate installer which installs in text mode [04:33] im installing linux in space left [04:33] malv, i've had the redhat installer hang on me plenty of times [04:33] malv: avoid the update during install option in the installer [04:33] looks like that is what I am going to have to do. I've never had a release where Ubiquity just works [04:33] m477 : give this a read might help - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions [04:33] share, use custom partitioning to get more information [04:33] share: the boot flag is meaningless to grub [04:33] there is boot partition with boot flag [04:33] ok [04:34] my network connection stopped working, how do I fix it? [04:34] comgen: thank you [04:35] michaeljones: restart networking service and / or unload then reload the driver module for the interface [04:36] it shows: DOS MBR cannot boot this (because of 2 partitions with flag button.. [04:37] boot flag* [04:39] okay this is a mess, anyway to uninstall this cleanly without screwing up my dual boot config with windows so i can reinstall 10.04 LTS? [04:39] a 3ghz p4 with 1 gig of ram hates this [04:39] freesey, you dont have to uninstall to do a clear reinstall [04:39] *clean [04:39] hey faggots, why does this dumb fuck distro just decide to disable networking? [04:40] freesey, but why 10.04? thats quite old [04:40] scientes_, so is this pc lol [04:40] !langauge|michaeljones seriously? [04:40] michaeljones seriously?: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:40] and 12.04 is out in like a month [04:40] freesey, doesn't make a diff, linux does not use more resources with each release like windows [04:40] oh neat [04:40] freesey, instead its the selection of packages you use [04:40] cant say I knew that [04:41] hello share what is your issue? uninstall grub? in that case you should boot windows cd and use the recovery console to fixmbr etc. The boot flag is not that important but you can use gparted to make sure only 1 partition has it [04:41] freesey, but you will need unity-2d probably, or gnome-session-classic for something more like 10.04 [04:42] *gnome-session-fallback [04:42] scientes_, release is in 15 days i think [04:42] go with xubuntu, save your sanity [04:42] freesey, how much ram do you have on the machine? [04:42] if it runs 10.04 fine will be fine with the 2d versions of 12.04 [04:43] I remember this sucker running 2d gnome with the compiz effects on the cube quite well [04:43] malv : lubuntu-desktop is decent [04:43] scientes_, if you prefer a classic desktop try xubuntu or lubuntu, there is unity-2d as well if you like [04:43] but it seems to hate this new gui [04:43] and something seems fishy cause when I logout and backin while selecting a new window manager it wont do it unless i reboot [04:43] speaking of which...brb [04:43] Artemis3, i use gnome-shell myself, but some people have really old hardware [04:44] scientes_, i believe you can also use gnome-shell, but i'm not sure it works without 3d === kim is now known as joeoshawa [04:44] Artemis3, fedora is using llvmpipe to support gnome-shell without 3d [04:45] Hola, alguien podría ayudarme, es mi primer dia usando xubuntu, y simplemente no puedo hacer funcionar el wifi [04:45] !es | Val1 [04:45] Val1: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[05:16] ActionParsnip: I do agree with you up to a given point, however when I look again to myself I start using Ubuntu way after I was comfortable using windows just by experiment. and therefore all my pc's are build up for the use of windows. which makes the use under ubuntu a bit complicated but we are getting there anyhow :) [05:16] CFHowlett: ya as I do but I was preparing for the next lts to see at what state it's at, I guess they have 2 more years to fix it === Someguy123 is now known as Someguy123[afk] === Someguy123[afk] is now known as Someguy123 [05:19] FernandoCueva: What happens when you try to view a flash animation / video?

[05:25] Hey, I can't get my windows partition to boot after resize, what to do? [05:25] Hey everyone, recently my Flash video has started to have choppy sound, does anyone know if this is caused by the recent update? Also I've tried using the 64 bit beta instead, but it seems to have the same issue. So at this point I would like to check if pulseaudio is the culprit (all of my sound is routed through JACK to ALSA but the browser defaults to pulse so I create a pulse sink and source to JACK because JACK takes full use of the sound system...). [05:25] FernandoCueva: I guess I should have added ; apt-get install pastebinit ; to the line [05:26] what does that do [05:26] Stryker you need to boot the windows dvd and run "repair". [05:26] what is that progry for [05:26] CFHowlett I don't have that, and btw it's xp [05:26] Hey all, I moved /lib/libreoffice (and /lib/ure due to LO needing it) to a ramdisk, to speed up access times, but none of the toolbar icons are appearing. :/ === Someguy123 is now known as Someguy123[afk] [05:26] Stryker in windows 7 the uuid is used in the bootloader. apparently resizing changes uuid ...

[05:27] I dunno, CFHowlett [05:27] CFHowlett: Stryker: Resizing a partition does not change the UUID of a filesytem, nothing but creating a new filesystem or explicitly changing the UUID will change the UUID of a filesystem.

[06:04] If upstream is the developers is downstream the distro itself?

Though there are many levels and some odd cases. I'd love to continue discussing this in #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:05] chromium doesn't bundle the flash plugin [06:05] so you'll have to manually add the google repo for chrome [06:06] http://pastebin.com/cGtDygh7 [06:06] FernandoCueva: does opera recognize the flash plugin exists if not see if there is a way to manually add plugins to opera and see if you can figure out how to add it that way [06:07] askubuntu.com may have some info on flash in opera also. i dont use opera [06:07] is not about the plugin I'm sure I tried firefox on live versions [06:07] and it works on 1 pc not this one [06:07] the pc is the problem and as someone suggested maybe due to the video driver [06:07] FernandoCueva: so both firefox and opera are failling to use flash?

[06:12] ActionParsnip: He [06:12] He's tried both firefox and opera [06:12] aerisique: Are you trying to boot an Ubuntu installation from USB, or boot an Ubuntu installer from USB? [06:12] Jordan_U, the latter [06:12] aerisique grub is reading the installation setup on your USB, i.e. ubuntu [06:12] mainly opera ActionParsnip [06:12] aerisique: How did you create this USB? [06:12] Jordan_U, dd [06:12] how to install grub loader in 11.04?

[06:14] FernandoCueva: its old school, but it works [06:15] ActionParsnip, the second one right? [06:15] FernandoCueva: yes the second [06:15] aerisique: And I don't know where that grub menu is coming from, but if that's really the last command you ran which wrote to the USB then it's *not* comming from the USB drive. [06:17] Jordan_U, that explains a lot.. thanks. The grub menu is coming from when I installed Arch so it's not from the USB [06:17] dev/disk2 you did use the actual sd*. not sda1 but sda. for example. and dd works with 11.04+ only i think [06:18] can I associate a window with a .desktop file, the .desktop file I made works, it launches the application, but then the window it launches is not linked with the launcher I made, and I can't pin just the window, how can I link the 2? [06:18] DropsOfSerenity: what app? [06:18] dr_willis, It's a game called tibia [06:18] dr_willis, it's most likely the dd incompatibility. I did use the actual sd*. I tried writing to /dev/disk2s2 for shits and just to confirm and it didn't work [06:19] aerisique: does your bios support boot from usb, and did you select the usb from the boot menu? [06:19] aerisique: You're welcome. 11.04 does support being dd'd by the way. [06:19] still doesn't work [06:19] Laiam, yes/yes. I think my problem is solved though - I used dd for 9.10 and it's not supported, thanks for asking though [06:19] DropsOfSerenity: is the launcher running a script that then runs the game? [06:19] dr_willis, I was looking at the .desktop entry spec mabye the StartupWMClass option? I don't know [06:20] yes. [06:20] DropsOfSerenity: java game? [06:21] FernandoCueva: you might have missed this line in your lshw -display:1 UNCLAIMED [06:21] dr_willis, no, they use their own engine. [06:21] sacarlson, what about it [06:21] FernandoCueva: I don't think you will have flash working without a driver [06:22] I have radeon I'm sure === Someguy123[afk] is now known as Someguy123 [06:23] FernandoCueva: yes but is seems you haven't installed drivers for your product: RV350 NJ [Radeon 9800 XT] (Secondary) [06:23] how do I enable it? sacarlson [06:24] it can use my current driver right? I didn't install anything ubuntu took care of that [06:24] FernandoCueva: I'm a nvidia guy, so not sure, next time stick to nvidia [06:24] does flash runs o the second display or sm [06:25] FernandoCueva: oh there's two screens? I assume they are both radion [06:25] I only use a crt monitor from 1999 using the crt cable the other is unused [06:25] FernandoCueva: oh I stand corrected I see on the first card driver=radeon [06:25] good morning, gents [06:26] WM_CLASS is unset on this particular games, how can I set it manually? [06:26] bandu greetings [06:27] FernandoCueva: unless you pluged the monitor into the wrong card? [06:27] I only use one video card [06:27] CFHowlett: greetings. you feeling okay? [06:27] and this one only has 1 crt connector [06:27] bandu. yep. what kind of ubuntu problem are you having. [06:28] CFHowlett: none, i was just saying hi. thank you very much for the intention, however. [06:28] ubuntu works perfect so far. [06:28] not 12 [06:29] bandu: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. For other (often nonsensical :) discussion try #ubuntu-offtopic. [06:29] yes, sir. [06:29] FernandoCueva: how does a computer with two video cards not have two video output? [06:30] sacarlson, the display 1 must be the secondary connector that uses dvi [06:30] Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu? [06:30] Hey! I'm having some problems with the alsa_in command in relation to jack because of what I think is a problem in ubuntu [06:30] I'm running jack with hw:0 (my soundcard, only one) as interface, and the alsa_in -dhw:1 command is to make jack talk to my amplifier (hw:1) [06:30] The problem is that, it only works once per reboot... If I disconnect the terminal having run the alsa_in command, I can't run it again later... I get this output: [06:30] alsa_in -dhw:1 Unable to set hw params for playback: Input/output error Setting of hwparams failed: Input/output error [06:30] FernandoCueva: ok and can't be the other way around that display 0 is the dvi output? [06:31] sacarlson, I don't know how to test? [06:31] Hi All, I have a headless box, I just set it all up -- installed VNC, however when I vnc to this box unity is not there? [06:31] am running 12.04 [06:31] FernandoCueva: I have no idea, never had two output [06:31] there is 3 outputs the svideo the crt and the dvi sacarlson [06:33] brez_: I think you would have to setup a virtual display for a headless system or it won't detect a monitor so won't start xorg [06:33] hi, guys do you know how can i fix this error when trying to run skype: skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [06:34] brez 12.04 is supported in ubuntu+1 [06:34] sacarlson: already done -- I can VNC to the box, everything works, accept unity is ont there -- I heard changing the settings in lightdm to ubuntu-2d does the trick, however I have forced it to start in 2d, and still starts in 3d :( [06:34] Hi [06:34] sacarlson, you thought I was using 2 video cards? [06:34] kamilnadeem greetings [06:34] soee: what version of ubuntu is that? I have skype running ok on 10.04 and 11.10 [06:35] sacarlson, 11.10 [06:35] like running in some sort of hyperthreading [06:35] FernandoCueva: I know you have 2 video cards, I didn't look to see how many monitors you had hooked to it [06:35] is there a way to do an alt+tab from commandline? [06:35] soee be aware skype is in 2 year old beta and will NEVER see further development. Each ubuntu issue will just render it further obsolete. [06:35] i'm using ubuntu 11.10. Is it possible to create a virtual interface, assign a different IP then the wireless IP and then make a bridge between wlan0 and new interface ? [06:35] sacarlson, i dont know why but last week all worked fine, just today it wont start - maybe after some updates or something [06:35] (especially in compiz) [06:36] sacarlson, I only have 1 video card with 3 different outputs [06:36] FernandoCueva: well it's seen as 2, they make chips these days that act as more than one [06:37] soee: that doen't answer my question of what version are you running? [06:38] <soee> sacarlson, 11.10 [06:39] soee: sorry I missed it before, wonder what you installed that made it stop working? [06:39] no idea [06:40] Sorry my connection dropped [06:41] how can i make an external HDD visable from home instead of /media [06:41] I tried booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my old system and here is the result "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: [06:41] cx8 cmov [06:41] Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."

[06:49] when i tried some things it says like this... unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap" [06:49] how to fix it? [06:50] How do i remove bottom bar alone i need to remove on my ubu 11.10 [06:50] i installed Docky [06:50] bottom panel * [06:54] Hi [06:54] ma1 greetings [06:54] i found it .

[07:01] Jordan_U: but in the bottom it says that Package `3.0.0.17.20' is not installed. [07:01] blackrock: afaik as much as you can connect ot the system [07:01] Jordan_U, fidel, thanks! [07:01] so .... feel free to open your hardware zoo [07:01] blackrock: You're welcome. [07:02] ma1: What is the exact commadn you ran? [07:02] Jordan_U: but Ubuntu Software Center says that 3.0.0.17.20 is installed [07:02] Jordan_U: dpkg -L linux-source 3.0.0.17.20 [07:02] Anyone know why my ubuntu would start in 'ubuntu 3d' even though I have lightdm.conf set to 'user session=ubuntu-2d' ? [07:03] ma1: That should have been "dpkg -L linux-source-3.0.0.17.20" [07:03] Jordan_U: ohhhhh...sorry [07:04] ma1: np :) [07:05] Jordan_U: the problem is still there [07:05] tafelpoot: how would i unmount it from there, because when i umount it, i get directory is not mounted error [07:05] Jordan_U: "dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-source" gives me only two names [07:06] ma1: And those are? [07:06] Jordan_U: linux-source and linux-source-3.0.0 [07:07] ma1: Then "dpkg -L linux-source-3.0.0".

[07:29] fidel, compiz [07:30] fidel, started after release upgrade [07:30] fidel, xfce [07:30] tanath: as 12.04 isnt yet released you might ask in #ubuntu+1 [07:30] team, anyone know of a ubuntu torrent client which supports IPv6? [07:30] fidel, woops [07:31] brez, have you tried deluge? [07:31] nope, but I will -- do you recommend? [07:32] what is the gsettings command to hide the panels in fallback mode? [07:32] brez, seems to be the best torrent client for linux. i'd be surprised if it didn't [07:32] Thanks, will download now! [07:34] brez, yep, just checked. it uses libtorrent, which supports ipv6 [07:37] guys any idea why I'm facing this issue http://pastie.org/3760151 [07:38] just installed deluge myself, seems great, thanks for the suggestion [07:38] Can someone tell me how to search for files in folders ? :D [07:38] rayne, np [07:39] rkhshm, looks to me like you're using a local proxy, which isn't working/running at the moment === KAISforza is now known as KaiSforza [07:42] can anyone tell me how install kernel source code on my ubuntu 11.10 [07:43] using apt-get [07:43] does ubuntu supports font embedding feature in its office suite? [07:43] tanath: no im not using any local proxy [07:44] MordFustang: ls this*.sh ; will find any file in present dir with names like this_is_it.sh ; or look at man find [07:44] tanath: any ideas pls [07:45] ma1: Do you want to compile the kernel? [07:45] rkhshm: as tanath: pointed out seems you have an internet connection problem, does your browser work on that system to any wan address? === null is now known as Guest60004 [07:45] Hey I'm getting alot of crackling sound while trying to listen to music with a fresh install of 11.10, anyone know a cure? [07:46] sacarlson: yes.. my machine has absolutely no issues connecting to any domain [07:46] Guest60004: Which sound card do you have? [07:46] what dns server are you using? [07:46] rkhshm: and does you system normaly use a proxy? [07:46] GirlyGirl how do i find this out? sorry im new to this [07:46] Guest60004: Can you provide your complete system specs, sound card, processor, memory [07:46] GirlyGirl: no...just want understand some code [07:46] sacarlson: well off-late I've begun to use SAHI proxy server.. so yes.. But I've shut down the proxy server long ago [07:47] Guest60004: Open terminal and use "lspci" [07:47] rkhshm: well that would be a problem if you shut down the proxy server but your apt-get is still tring to use it [07:47] ma1: Then go to the kernel website and download the source from there [07:47] and when i pgresp for that proxy server I dont see it running [07:47] sacarlson: hmm.. so how do i fix this? [07:48] rkhshm: so I guess you need to change your proxy settings [07:48] how do i fix apt-get to use "no proxy" ? [07:48] rkhshm: I'm not sure how you set them up so you must be the expert not me [07:48] rkhshm, it looks like your system is trying to use one nonetheless. it failed because a local port wasn't allowing it [07:48] [07:48] GirlyGirl here's my lspci: http://pastebin.com/Yi8KfxYN [07:49] rkhshm: might be better to google how to set it to proxy and do the reverse [07:49] Guest60004, frequently killing pulseaudio will do the trick [07:49] tanath cool, how do i do that? [07:49] Guest60004, pkill pulseaudio [07:49] sacarlson: here is the interesting part.. I started the proxy server and tried apt-get and it still failed [07:49] tanath didn't work :-/ [07:49] Guest60004: Can you monitor your cpu usage while playing audio [07:49] Guest60004, switch everything you can to use alsa directly... [07:49] so if proxy was being used by apt-get it should have worked when i started the proxy server [07:49] well, it was worth a shot [07:49] but it didn't [07:50] GirlyGirl: but if i want to use the code for my installed kernel [07:50] ma1: Its the same code! [07:50] rkhshm: I'm not sure, what changes did you make to setup the proxy? [07:50] GirlyGirl i'll try, not sure how though, ill do a google [07:51] sacarlson: i only launch the server and change port numbers in the browser... that's all.. [07:51] does anyone know or if 'top' is installed by default? [07:51] But i've shut it down already [07:51] Guest60004: use "top" in terminal [07:51] top [07:51] tanath: yes top is installed by default [07:51] htop is better, but if 'top' is what's there.. [07:51] rkhshm: oh how did changing the browser proxy effect the apt-get? [07:52] GirlyGirl well doesnt seem to be using that much cpu [07:53] 12% [07:53] rkhshm, you might assume that, but not if the proxy is having issues. can you avoid routing through the proxy? [07:53] Guest60004: Does the crackling occur with all sound applications? [07:53] rkhshm: well I google and found this is how proxy is set in apt-get export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport === _chris is now known as Guest75501 [07:53] GirlyGirl: what about patches made by Ubuntu....also my installed kernel version difference? [07:54] Guest60004, test with aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav [07:54] rkhshm: so I guess something must have done that? if so how is that reversed? [07:54] tanath: well I've shut down the server itself. and the only routing i do is with the browser that's all.. so when i shut down the proxy and revert browser settings it should work fine [07:54] GirlyGirl only noticed it with banshee (which i uninstalled) and now rhythmbox [07:54] tanath nothing played, sound wise [07:54] with that command [07:55] rkhshm, IIRC when you set the proxy in gnome it is generally used by the rest of the system too [07:55] rkhshm: changing your browser proxy has no effect on apt-get as far as I know [07:55] Guest60004, that's not right [07:55] !soundtroubleshooting | Guest60004 [07:55] ma1: apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) [07:55] hrm === ServerSa_ is now known as ServerSage_ [07:56] Guest60004, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [07:56] sacarlson: yes That's what is worrying me.

[07:59] GirlyGirl: Great Great Thanks for your help. [07:59] GirlyGirl: Thanks again :) [07:59] rkhshm, did you set proxy in network manager? [07:59] tanath: no [07:59] that's generally how it happens [08:00] is there a way of finding out if the card EN7950GX2 http://www.cyberindian.net/2006/08/25/asus-unveils-en7950gx22pht1g-graphics-card/ is supposed to work with ubuntu?

I had changed the proxy for my works earlier and forgot about reverting it back as "system-wide change" [08:01] rkhshm, do 'echo $http_proxy' in terminal [08:01] now i reverted it to system wide [08:01] and it works now.

[08:06] tomasz, i think the issue you're encountering is with the bios not ubuntu. you need to enable LBA in bios. it won't boot on a partition past the first 137gb without it [08:06] without chainloading [08:07] tanath, hmm i chek it [08:07] check [08:07] tomasz, unless you formatted the drive in a way that disables lba... [08:07] then you'd have to reformat [08:07] well, or get into chainloading [08:08] Do anyone know of a way to drag a file or folder without having to keep the finger pressing on the mouse button while moving? I know in a different OS, I could hold down my mouse key and then it would stick and then I could easily move the file across the nautilus and then whenever I would press on it again, it would release the file/folder [08:09] How do I do a refresh aka sudo apt-get update in the software center? [08:09] elijah: i think apt-get update does the trick in the software center as well [08:10] can i check in linux is lba on ? [08:10] elijah: you use Update Manager [08:10] BigNuke: Do you know a way a user can initiate within software center itself? I don't mind doing it but wondering for future ref [08:11] i'm afraid not - but should "users" be able to do this in the first place? [08:11] tanath can i check in linux is lba on ? [08:12] StepNjump, what about cut/copy & paste with ctrl+x/c & ctrl+v ? [08:12] tomasz, not sure. would be simplest to boot to bios and enable it [08:12] ok [08:14] Is there a way to have sudo apt-get install do a dry run and tell me what version will be fetched? [08:14] elijah, it should tell you that before doing it [08:14] that's a good question [08:15] elijah, or you could use synaptic [08:15] tanath: thanks [08:16] elijah: yes, synaptics or apt-cache search [08:16] elijah, or, you might want to use --no-download [08:16] BigMao, synaptic. synaptics is touchpad driver [08:17] thanks guys, those should lead me in the right direction [08:17] elijah, --no-download courtesy of 'man apt-get'\ [08:17] is there a way of finding out if the EN7950GX2 card is supposed to work with ubuntu? http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg [08:18] mr_boo: yes, you check the list of supported hardware [08:18] tanath: yes, that the touchpad driver. my bad ^^ [08:20] Hi, does anyone know of a music player application with an interface similar (by album artwork tiles) to WMP and iTunes. Preferably a qt application [08:21] sw: thanks [08:21] foobar [08:21] mr_boo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ - if you didn't already find it [08:21] sw: i concluded that the card is supposed to work :( [08:22] GirlyGirl, banshee?

[08:22] !player | GirlyGirl [08:22] GirlyGirl: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [08:23] BigNuke, foobar doesn't really work on linux anymore [08:23] dang... thats sad [08:23] deadbeef ought to be added to the list for audio. it's about the only thing that'll play virtually everything [08:24] though audacious is good too and comes close [08:24] tanath: I'm more after a qt interface. The only ones I know of are amarok, clementine and juk [08:24] tanath: update it then [08:24] ubuntu hates my geforce 7950GX2 card so bad it even crashes from the live CD http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg [08:24] this sux [08:24] GirlyGirl, enh, i don't like any of those. amarok was best once upon a time.. [08:24] sw, update the list? i'm not an op [08:24] sw, just a random visitor... [08:25] GirlyGirl: i would always suggest to use clementine - but maybe tomahawk is something for you [08:25] can anyone help me with this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot [08:25] tanath: anyone can submit requests, ops just need to approve them - Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops. Thank you for your attention to detail [08:26] goddard: ask it here [08:26] sw: my toolbar icons disappear on boot [08:26] sw, hrm [08:26] fidel: So far I prefer amarok. Its just that I would prefer if it could allow you to browse music by album artwork instead of a long list [08:26] sw, so how would one go about that then? [08:27] tanath: tell the bot [08:27] tanath thx for help [08:27] sw, can i tell it xine is crap, and smplayer should replace it in video list? :P [08:27] tanath: message it with: ' is <...>' [08:28] tomasz, np. if that fails and you need something else, i highly recommend boot-repair: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [08:28] tanath, i set LBA assistence and now work with big partitions === scientes_ is now known as scientes [08:28] goddard: unity?

[08:29] sw: reinstalling? [08:29] goddard: '$ sudo apt-get purge unity', restart and login to the classic environment and '$ sudo apt-get install unity' [08:30] sw, i don't think a restart is needed there, just logging out [08:30] sw: who knows what that will do === hughhalf is now known as hugh_food [08:30] tanath: you'd send: 'tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel', and then when !tanath is triggered, you'll see sw: tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel [08:30] tanath: nah...

Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them? [08:32] tanath: it will, but you need to use the full version, edit it, and paste the new full version [08:32] sw, yeah got that. that was my question, which you answered [08:32] how to change squid error pages [08:32] tanath: what is derp? an app?

[08:37] sw ok it then [08:41] Preparing to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them? [08:41] Geron, third-party repos get disabled, but you can reenable them again after [08:42] er [08:42] Geron, sorry, read too quickly [08:42] sw nope didn't work [08:42] sw: I dont have /etc/xinetd.d [08:42] I have installed vnc4server [08:42] sw logged out and logged into unity 2D then logged out and logged into unity and still no toolbar icons [08:42] I can only seem to get it to listen on 5901 [08:43] Geron, i don't see why svn would be affected. databases i'm sure can be upgraded if need be, if the apps using them aren't backwards-compatible [08:43] Could anyone identify this error: https://imgur.com/Gm7zR I'm trying to boot Ubuntu with more than a dozen drives (3 LSIs) [08:43] tanath: I'm just fearing that a upgrade will require alot of hands-on stuff. [08:44] Geron, make a backup? try a dual-boot? [08:44] tanath: Guess I should test the upgrade in a isolated environment first. To make sure database and/or SVN repos (served) survives.. [08:45] tanath: Its a live production environment, can dualboot. And I would rather not backup 20TB of database files... [08:45] *cant dualboot. [08:45] blackrock, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1702818 [08:46] Geron, lol, indeed. testing any change like that is best on one box first... if you don't want it out of commission, dual-boot is a possibility to test with [08:47] Geron, if updated version works, delete old partition and give it to new. etc [08:48] tanath, it boots with 14 or so HDs. But not more. I'm confused. [08:50] blackrock, can't say i have any experience with that, but perhaps a more up-to-date kernel would handle it better? [08:50] blackrock, 3.3 has quite a few improvements over your version :P [08:51] there are some files, which i always need to force write with vim . Do you why / [08:51] apporc, read-only? [08:52] tanath, I'm stuck with 10.04. Feels stable :P I'll try upgrading the kernel though [08:52] tanath: yeah [08:52] blackrock, 10.04 is this |--| close to dead though... [08:52] sw no luck [08:52] blackrock: I was a 10.04 stalwart... 12.04 is the next lts and is worth a look even now. [08:52] blackrock, but yes, you can have multiple kernels installed, so... not hard to test [08:53] tanath: yeah , it's readonly, but with 'w!' ,you can force write it . [08:53] indeed [08:53] tanath: i don't know, why this is happening. [08:53] Ok, thanks. Hmm, now to think about upgrading between two LTSs... [08:54] apporc, there's your answer then. it will ask as long as it's read-only. it's not meant to be changed, hence the permission. either remove read-only permission, or accept it [08:54] blackrock: ubuntu website has specific info on doing that, iirc [08:55] I installed beside my 10.10 (dont ask) and dragged individual items across from the old /home - no worries at all. [08:55] tanath: i am root, i have write permission on it. [08:55] apporc, do you own the file though? [08:55] tanath: yes [08:55] permission-wise [08:55] tanath: that file is belongs to root too. [08:56] ls -l file [08:56] hi, always me about difficulties using internet from the console. my steps:i configured /etc/network/interfaces as follow in paste, i set grub to start with console, i set nm-system-settings.conf to disable NetworkManager and i reboot. Once rebooted i check eth1 with ifconfig and it doesn't keep the ip address. [08:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/923023/ [08:56] tanath: it's '600' [08:57] hello, when trying to apt-get dist-upgrade, I'm getting "ia32-libs: Recommends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable" [08:57] apporc, i don't use numbered permissions. useless obfuscation [08:57] The command ifup eth1 gives me the output "interfaces eth1 already configured, ifdown eth1 gives me RTNETLINK answer: No such process-SIOCDELRT: No such process, other time with ifup eth1 is ok and eth1 is set with the ip address. but pinging the server gives me "Destination Unreachable". In pastebin you can see the files /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /var/log/syslog during the time logged in the console. UNGSANTE password is WPA-PSK[ [08:57] Thanks for the advice all. I'll let you know of my progress. Bye. [08:57] release (in sources.list) is oneiric [08:58] I have tried swithcing to "precise" but that does not solve anything [08:58] tanath: got it. it's because of selinux .... [08:58] tanath: thanks . [08:58] apporc, ah, if you're playing with that, yeah.. [08:58] careful [08:58] can ubuntu run faster by creating a swap file on a fast flash drive instead of making the typical swap on a hard drive? [08:59] What is currently the best/most secure IRC bouncer software? [08:59] Any recent development in that area? [08:59] UBUxUBU, generally flash will be slower than hdd [08:59] intore: I was able to make a script with a wpa-supplicant.conf that works for me on a working system in wep, but I don't have a wpa2 capable ap to test the reset [08:59] rest [08:59] i mean for caching small things [09:00] UBUxUBU, if you're talking usb3 with old IDE drive... [09:00] do you think is a problem of wpa-supplicant? [09:00] intore: I also noted in my research that my raylink won't work in 11.10 but works fine in 10.04 [09:00] have you seen the log i paste [09:00] intore: it seems for me it's in the drivers for raylink [09:01] intore: I've seen your other logs [09:01] network interface? [09:01] hmm so my ole 7200 rpm sata beats a sandisk cruzer flash drive for memory caching? [09:01] UBUxUBU, caching small things may be different, but i'm no expert [09:03] UBUxUBU, you can google specs & such though, and/or others who've asked similar questions. i've seen a product that does what you're asking about that's supposed to boost speeds, but it seemed questionable [09:03] intore: you config files look like they should work, and that log looks like others that are having this problem [09:03] others people? [09:03] intore: so solution would be to run the older working kernel and wpa-supplicant match [09:03] i wonder if the swap was zero but if you made a 4 gig swap on a flash driver if buntu would use it [09:04] UBUxUBU, linux uses swap partitions, but yes i think it'll use whatever swap partition is available [09:04] intore: yes other people as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857635 [09:05] i gotta feeling that if u dont make a HD swap it makes on for u...on the HD [09:05] UBUxUBU, http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/add-virtual-ram-to-ubuntu-using-spare.html [09:06] intore: my script that works on 10.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/ [09:06] I want to set system wide proxy in ubuntu 10.04 [09:06] i've 10.10 [09:06] what command will do the purpose [09:06] intore: and example wpa-supplicant.conf for wep http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/ [09:07] intore: so you can try 10.04 iso see if that kernel works for you if so you can install the working kernel in 10.10 [09:07] thirdknife, you can do so in network manager [09:08] mmm, this is new for me, really! [09:08] Hi I have a clean pangolin install and I need ia32-libs installed to run some 32 bits software. But apt refuses to install due to unresolved dependencies and aptitude gives a solution that clearly will break my entire system if I proceed. How do I resolve the 32 bit prolem in precice pangolin? [09:08] i never work on the kernel [09:08] tanath, it is not available in 10.04 xubuntu [09:08] i never worked on the kernel [09:09] nice link tanath === XuMuK|znc is now known as XuMuK [09:09] intore: the kernel is much like a package in ubuntu not much more to it [09:10] intore: I guess you don't need to try the iso just import the kernel package to try it I guess [09:10] intore: if it fails your net or fails to boot you can just pick the original from grub to boot again [09:10] i never did it and i don't want make damages! [09:10] MariusKarthaus, 12.04 is multi-arch, but you better join #Ubuntu+1 for pangolin support untill release. [09:11] Hello i would like some help with ubuntu 11.10. For an unknown reason i have to put a root password at software center, to mount a device, and what ever requires a sudo password [09:11] could you suggest me a guide about this argument please? [09:11] intore: other posible solution is to find the working driver set and compile them onto your present kernel [09:13] intore: this is the kernel I now run that works for me: Linux FreeNet 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [09:14] sacarlson: which lines on log tells you is a problem of kernel/driver/wpa? [09:14] intore: I'm not booted onto my 11.10 so I'm not sure what it has but it's like 3.0.xX [09:14] hi how can i remove Set User ID's on files ? [09:15] intore: it's very much a guess I didn't have time to study your logs [09:15] ah ok [09:15] i posted it on the forum [09:16] intore: but if you read the example link you will see some similarities [09:16] intore: yes but I only glanced at it [09:16] Hello I would like to know why ubuntu keeps asking root password instead of sudo. Any suggestions to fix that would be welcome :). [09:17] VOITHISTE: what command are you entering [09:17] intore: and since the only changed that I can see in like wicd that should work in 11.10 didn't cause the problem the kernel did [09:17] not just a command everything that needs sudo password\ [09:17] software center for example [09:17] VOITHISTE: have you previously set a root password? [09:18] No [09:18] VOITHISTE, that's the way sudo works. you can tweak the sudoers file in order not to enter a password but then you defeat the security scheme [09:18] VOITHISTE: so what happens when you run software center? [09:18] bluefrog: you miss understand his problem [09:18] ok [09:18] If i try to install a software it asks for Root password instead of sudo For every app [09:19] VOITHISTE: does it put up a window saying "enter root password" or what do you mean? [09:19] yes [09:19] thats odd [09:19] excactly it asks root password [09:19] In Nautilus, can use ctrl shft to create a new folder but is there a way to create a new text file using a keyboard shortcut? [09:20] VOITHISTE: did you add yourself to the "admin" group? [09:20] VOITHISTE: when you installed ubuntu, it has a checkbox when you add the default user "add this user to administrators group" [09:20] i don't see similarities between my log and that one you proposed me. [09:20] Actually i had a sound problem and i think that i did added my shelf there [09:20] StepNjump: Alt->F->D->E. Traverses the Nautilus menu [09:20] VOITHISTE: if you open a terminal (gnome-terminal) and type "id" wihtout quotes what does it say [09:20] Ubuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?! [09:21] anyway, thanks [09:21] hope for the forum [09:21] intore: other than wpa didn't work but non encrypted did? [09:21] uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) ομάδες=1000(xristos),29(audio) [09:21] uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) teams=1000(xristos),29(audio) [09:21] VOITHISTE: you are not in the admin group [09:22] VOITHISTE: as root run "gpasswd -G admin xristos" [09:23] VOITHISTE: that will add your user to the admin group and you should now be able to use sudo [09:23] Wait i am confused [09:23] sacarlson: i don't uderstand what you mean === eBot is now known as Guest11006 [09:23] you mean log in as root (sudo su) and then run the command? [09:23] VOITHISTE: if you know the root password, you can use "su -" to become root once and run that command i showed you [09:24] !root [09:24] 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 [09:24] intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant [09:24] i dont know the root password [09:24] VOITHISTE: after that you should be able to use sudo, and the prompts from applications like software center should (hopefully) start using sudo and your own password instead of root [09:24] VOITHISTE: ah [09:24] yandex381: anything else like a quicker keyboad shortcut like shift ctrl something? [09:24] The problem is i dont know the root password [09:24] if i knew it everything would be alright :) [09:25] VOITHISTE: that kinda sucks, it's a littl ebit of a hasstle to recover the root password. Simple but annoying [09:25] VOITHISTE: In Ubuntu, the root user doesnt have a password (unless you set one manually) [09:25] VOITHISTE: have you ever set the root password? [09:25] intore: as I am now a part of that group since all I have is two raylink rt73 usb devices that don't work past ubuntu 10.04 [09:25] No only a sudo( you know the one that instalation forces you to have) [09:25] VOITHISTE: '$ sudo passwd root' and enter a password, then '$ sudo gpasswd -G admin xristos' [09:26] StepNjump: Not that I know. There used to be a way to change/add nautilus shortcuts in the preferences, but can't find it. Maybe the option was removed? [09:26] No, dont give root a password.. [09:26] No need. [09:26] VOITHISTE: what you should do is reboot to the live cd and "chroot" into your installed ubuntu. once you did that you can then modify your user to be in the admin group. if your not a bit experienced then that might not mean anything to you but i can help you with it [09:26] but the problem you mean is about drivers doesn't work using wpa_supplicant? [09:26] VOITHISTE: after you've solved your problem, disable it again with '$ sudo passwd -dl root' [09:26] intore: I'll later explore using my 10.04 kernel on 11.10 maybe later today [09:27] sw: he doesn't know the root password and his user is not in the admin group, that is the problem. read the scrollback before offering advice [09:27] sw: If VOITHISTE can sudo, there is no need to set a root password to add a user to a group. [09:27] mrintegr1ty: he's never set a root password, so he can just set one [09:27] intore: yes why does your wifi device not work without encryption or have you not yet verified that fact? [09:27] I cant sudo [09:27] sw: no, as his user is not in the admin group, his user doesnt have permission to do that [09:27] sw: No he cant, cause he cant sudo! [09:28] Thanx for your support guys [09:28] VOITHISTE: you can accept advice from others or you can listen to one person [09:28] VOITHISTE: follow mrintegr1ty's advice. [09:28] i will [09:28] you mean to try a free connection? [09:28] no password? [09:28] intore: I also tried the legacy raylink encryption driver that also don't work in 11.10 [09:28] found ctrl shft e [09:28] just a last thing when i try to log in as sudo at terminal this comes up [09:28] xristos is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported [09:29] I dont know if it help any further [09:29] 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant [09:29] intore: yes I have my own wifi network so I can experiment on that maybe you don't have that resorce [09:29] VOITHISTE: that's telling you that you're not in the sudoers file - which you already knew [09:29] :) [09:30] VOITHISTE: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first. [09:30] sacarlson> a question: i haven't problem using this network interface with network manager, what is the different of use? [09:30] oh well, he left [09:30] between console and X? [09:31] intore: oh maybe we are not related then if it works on network-manager maybe that uses legacy not wpa-supplicant, that might be why it works, I'm not sure === XuMuK is now known as XuMuK|znc [09:32] intore: in wicd you can select between legacy and wpa2 ext to posibly verify what is the difference [09:33] intore: or you can try the script I gave you to experment with it, but my rt73 don't have wpa support imbedded in the driver [09:35] Ok i am back :) What do i have to do with CHROOT [09:35] VOITHIAS: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first. [09:35] I HAVE INSTALLED UBUNTU MORE THAN TIMESI N A WEEK [09:35] VOITHIAS: chill [09:35] so i will choose live cd method [09:35] :) [09:36] i am already in live cd (actually it is a usb stick anyway) [09:36] VOITHIAS: ok, if this is not a seperate computer that you are using for IRC then you will have to write these instrutions down. It's quite simple. here comes the instructions [09:36] it is the same [09:36] VOITHIAS: great so yo uhave internet, that makes it simpler [09:36] Yes [09:37] VOITHIAS: open a terminal and type sudo -i, as it's the live env it won't ask for a pass and you will be root [09:37] 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant [09:37] Yep root .. [09:37] intore: I already read that [09:37] sacarlson: am sorry, many problem with electricity [09:38] VOITHIAS: next, you need to know where ubuntu is installed on the disk, do you already know that information? (the partition number [09:38] hm no [09:38] is a mistake [09:38] but, how to configure without password? [09:38] VOITHIAS: if not, and assuming it's the only operating system installed (not dual boot) run "fdisk -l" [09:39] Give me a second i have windows too [09:39] don't i have to use wpa_supplicant.conf file? [09:39] intore: what a typo? it's my problem maybe a part of yours, maybe yours works in lagacy but not wpa-supplicant [09:39] ex partition at /dev/sda5 [09:39] VOITHIAS: paste the output from fdisk -l to pastebin.com [09:40] http://pastebin.com/tvZigiev [09:40] intore: yes I posted my wpa_supplicant.conf file as an example but mine configured to wep, [09:40] VOITHIAS: great, looks like ubuntu is on sda5 [09:40] as you said [09:40] intore: maybe you didn't get it?? [09:40] OK [09:41] VOITHIAS: so now run "mkdir /mnt/ubu; mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ubu" [09:41] hi guys! I'm trying to install drivers for traveller mk1 for use with jackd [09:41] VOITHIAS: and then, "chroot /mnt/ubu" [09:41] ok, but setting my wifi network without password how could i do? [09:41] intore: my experiments included using wicd [09:41] VOITHIAS: after running the chroot command, any additional command you run will be "inside " your installed ubuntu [09:41] i installed ffado, but i think i need to configure ffado to use the right firewire [09:41] Ok [09:42] everything don [09:42] intore: for that you would need to have admin rights on your access point to turn off encryption [09:42] done* [09:42] VOITHIAS: now you can run "gpasswd -G admin xristos" [09:42] VOITHIAS: tell me what output u get, if any [09:42] gpasswd: invalid option -- 'G' [09:43] i know, am talking about /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [09:43] and a rest of useless options [09:43] japanese room language? [09:43] VOITHIAS: ah sorry, -a not -G [09:43] how to set no passwd there [09:43] intore: I bypassed the /etc/network/interfaces in my script [09:43] gpasswd: user 'admin' does not exist [09:44] VOITHIAS: oops.. gpasswd -a xristos admin [09:44] intore: I don't want to mess with my system settings I just run different scirpts to get the results I need [09:44] ah [09:44] Adding user xristos to group admin (i think that this means succes right?) [09:44] VOITHIAS: great yeah [09:44] VOITHIAS: do you know the password for the user xristos` [09:44] ? [09:44] VOITHIAS: I ask because if not, this is a good time to set it [09:45] Yes [09:45] VOITHIAS: otherwise you should be ready to reboot and use the installed ubuntu [09:45] VOITHIAS: so exit the chroot (press ctrl d [09:45] VOITHIAS: then umount /mnt/ubu [09:45] VOITHIAS: then reboot [09:45] you mean you don't know how to configure wpa_supplicant.conf file? [09:45] VOITHIAS: and hopefully you can use your password as you would expect [09:46] intore: yes I have two wpa-supplicant.conf files I gave you the one I have tested that works [09:46] Ok "hopefully" it will work thanx for the help. And one last thing now that i am at live enviroment [09:46] If i increase the size of my partition will it corrupt ubuntu? [09:46] intore: my script still links to the conf file [09:46] VOITHIAS: depends how you do it [09:46] last time i tried it corrupted it [09:47] hi, could someone explain why there is a "(0)" next to my username on the commandline on a fresh install ubuntu 11.04? [09:47] i have 16GB of unallocated space in my hard drive [09:47] VOITHIAS: if you use gparted for example, it should work nicely. i can't recommend it though unless i was physcally there to do it myself. it's not a "safe" operation for beginners [09:47] i want to allocate them at ubuntu [09:47] but you set a password in wpa_supplicant.conf file i think [09:48] VOITHIAS: then it should be quite straight forward but I still don't recommend it [09:48] So i cant increase the size? [09:48] without setting my installation to danger of course [09:48] intor: wpa-supplicant.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/ and script that runs it http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/ [09:48] VOITHIAS: yeah you can but it's up to you if you trust your own skills [09:49] are the same files! [09:49] intore: yes I set my access point to wep to test it [09:49] opps [09:49] the same script [09:49] VOITHIAS: 90% of the time it will work without issue but sometimes it requires manual steps that you may or may not be capable of performing your self [09:49] And ubuntu is supposed to be user friendly ;) [09:50] VOITHIAS: i recommend you play around with ubuntu for a while first, create some partitions on a usb stick and use gparted to resize them so you can get a feel for it. then you can try on your installed os from the live cd with more confidence [09:50] I'd say 99.9% of the time. I've done alot of partitioning with gparted, without problems. [09:50] VOITHIAS: resizing any partition if you are not an experienced user is never going to be 100% safe [09:51] VOITHIAS: regarldes of OS [09:52] intore: I seem to have some problem pastebinit my conf file [09:52] Anyway .. what could have caused the problem with my user and i was removed from administrators. If i know i will try to prevent it next time [09:52] VOITHIAS: Why are you trying to resize the partition anyway? Just out of curiosity. [09:52] geirha: so you fit the "experienced" profile and it's pefectly sane for you to do it. VOITHIAS has done it one time before and it messed up, hence more practice is required before doing it for real [09:52] i have allocated a small amount of size thats all [09:52] intore: http://pastebin.com/22vK3puK [09:52] of Mbs. [09:52] intore: not sure why It didn't work in nautilus [09:53] VOITHIAS: when you installed ubuntu you probably did not select "add this user to the administrators group" [09:53] intore: oh it still didn't work [09:53] VOITHIAS: Just make sure you have a backup of all the files you can't afford to lose, then follow the partitioning howto [09:53] Perviously i could log in as sudo but today i couldnt === mang0 is now known as Seryth [09:53] geirha i have a back up in an other partition :) [09:53] intore: something about sending config files on pastebin it says it's spam? [09:54] VOITHIAS: You should have a backup on a separate medium [09:54] VOITHIAS: then i don't know, hopefully you didn't alter some file that is requried for sudo (anythying under /etc/sudoers* for example), in which case adding you to the admin gruop might not have been sufficient to fix the issue [09:54] VOITHIAS: give it a try anyway [09:54] VOITHIAS: reboot i mean [09:54] VOITHIAS: When you say login, do you mean you couldn't login as root, or the 'sudu' command wouldn't work? [09:55] ^'sudo' [09:55] jpollard: the sudo command woulndt work. he was not in the "admin" group which explains it [09:55] sudo [09:55] i've seen it [09:55] If i come back it will mean that it did not worked :) if i wont come back it means YOU ARE AWESOME GUYS thanx for the help :). [09:56] VOITHIAS: just reboot and put an end to the suspense ;) [09:56] VOITHIAS: you have to come back to tell us it worked [09:56] OK [09:56] then i will come back [09:56] gl [09:56] Just give me 5 minutes i am checking something at a website [09:56] sure [09:57] sacarlson: is your network with free access? [09:58] intore: It's unencrypted public access if that's what you mean but you still need to login to have access to wan [09:58] intore: I run a public ISP part of it runs on wifi [09:59] what is this? wep_tx_keyidx=0 [10:00] and aaaaaaaaa is the password? [10:00] intore: use key# 0 there are 4 keys to pick from in wep [10:00] intore: yes [10:01] intore: in wep that's a hex password [10:01] Ubuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?! [10:02] ok, a question. if i want to try without password what do i have to write in conf file? [10:02] Geron: try #ubuntu-server [10:02] after configuring my router [10:02] intore: you don't need a conf file if it's unecrypted you don't need wpa-supplicant [10:03] ok [10:03] lokai: That shouldn't happen. If you view the properties of your home folder, does it have '(0)' after it? [10:03] i try now and i'll come back [10:03] hallo [10:03] Hi, I wrote my fstab incorrectly and now the partition on which it exists has itself become read only. How do I access my fstab to make the changes ? [10:03] looser [10:04] sattu94: mount -o remount,rw / [10:04] sattu94: just off the top of my head, might work [10:04] mrintegr1ty: yes, but the fstab file itself has become RO [10:05] sattu94: yeah but if you remount / as rw then you can edit fstab [10:05] its just a command, if you still have a functioning command line or terminal [10:05] mrintegr1ty: okay, cool [10:05] lemme chekc [10:07] intore: here's a legacy setup with no encryption example http://paste.ubuntu.com/923077/ the commented out parts are lagacy wep encryption setup [10:07] jpollard, no. I've found it, is is referencing "$?" in my PS1 def [10:07] jpollard, I don't know what the hell the variable `?` is, though. [10:07] lokai: it's the exist status of the last command [10:08] lokai: try running $? in a terminal [10:08] mrintegr1ty, thanks. [10:08] yeah. [10:08] mrintegr1ty: Thanks, it works! [10:08] sattu94: nice [10:08] why anyone would want that in PS1 is beyond me. [10:08] lokai: indeed [10:09] but indeed, it's in the system-wide bashrc in 11.04 [10:09] lol really [10:09] <_r00t_> what's '$?' equate to [10:09] _r00t_: read above [10:09] 10:07 < mrintegr1ty> lokai: it's the exist status of the last command [10:09] s/exist/exit [10:09] <_r00t_> mrintegr1ty, ... I've only just joined missed the conversation [10:10] _r00t_: if you open a terminal and type $? you will get a single number representing the exit status of the previous command [10:10] _r00t_: usefull in scripts [10:10] <_r00t_> mrintegr1ty, LOL ic [10:11] _r00t_: actually you have to echo it [10:11] _r00t_: or it will run the exit status as if it were a command it's self [10:11] so "echo $?" [10:12] <_r00t_> must admit - whoever wants it in PS1 must be running the same command over and over again [10:12] i installed ffado, but i think i need to configure ffado to use the right firewire [10:12] i need that to be used by jackd, but the source is not showing. [10:12] i have 2 firewire ports, one on the motherboard, one as a PCI card [10:12] on the PCI is connected a motu [10:13] but the firewire doesn't show up on jack input list [10:13] <_r00t_> today is the last day for 10.04 === Dr4g is now known as Dr4g|afk [10:14] _r00t_: for what [10:14] <_r00t_> 10.10 I mean KIK [10:14] <_r00t_> LOL [10:14] lol [10:15] * _r00t_ upgraded 10.10->11.04->11.10 a few days back but I also installed Arch [10:17] no one familiar with audio devices and drivers? :( [10:18] walidvb: probably better to ask in the forums for that kind of question [10:18] walidvb, try the studio subforum. they're good with jack [10:18] there is noone on #ffado [10:19] dlentz: what is the chan name? [10:19] sacarlson: i set no passwd but it does't connect [10:19] only want to know what linux-virtual is, why is needed? Should I use that if I'm installing Ubuntu (guest) INto VirtualBox? [10:20] walidvb, i was suggesting making a post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=335 [10:20] Matte88: it's just a virtula package [10:20] right sorry i didn't see 'forum' [10:20] Matte88: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-virtual [10:20] Matte88: not related to virtual machines [10:20] thanks, i'll give it a try, but i'm trying to get smth to work in the next 2 hours :D [10:21] walidvb, i guess you could also try #ubuntustudio [10:21] Matte88: lol yeah it is actually [10:21] Matte88: if you read that link it explains [10:21] sacarlson: are you online? [10:22] dlentz: great i'll do both [10:22] thanks! [10:22] yw [10:22] mrintegr1ty: so, it's the right choice when users install Ubuntu as guest into VirtualBox, instead of selecting linux-general.

[11:49] anyone know where google chrome puts pdf's after a file > print to pdf ? no location box is shown, can't find the file anywhere [11:49] artium: it's unlikely to be supported if it's completely new and the vendor does not officially support linux === MartinS is now known as Guest67351 [11:49] artium if the manufacturor doesn't provide drivers, and it is not in http://www.openprinting.org/printers/ , sorry [11:49] AdvoWork: probably your currnet working directory [11:50] mrintegrity: How would I know this?

[11:51] !notunity | philipp_ [11:51] philipp_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [11:51] Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line? [11:51] mrintegrity: Only usb [11:52] artium: my gut feeling on this particular printer after having googled it a bit, is that it's very unlikely that you will be able to make it work [11:52] mrintegr1ty, i thought that, but nothing in there [11:52] Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line? [11:52] AdvoWork: ~/Downloads ? [11:52] AdvoWork: or /tmp/ [11:53] artium: You have 3 options. Waiting for drivers (it may take long); exchange it for an older one; or try to find privative drivers and buy them (I don't recommend this option unless you really need that printer) [11:53] Please help me: How to load a ccsm profile from command line?

Thanks [14:02] jrib: http://pastebin.com/vEC61pEm [14:02] Has anyone else ever had the problem of gnome terminals suddenly not having scrollbars? [14:03] hi, i configured /etc/network/interfaces as you can see in http://paste.ubuntu.com/923329/, i set no passwd on the router wireless but it doesn't connect. on syslog i found the line No network configuration found for the current AP [14:03] Socket-: ls as sudo [14:03] Apr 10 15:24:50 dello wpa_supplicant[1111]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove [14:03] UICTamale: have to "take-over" the current unity [14:03] jrib: 12 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10843 Apr 9 13:25 /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf [14:03] UICTamale: to answer your question yes [14:04] tyler_d: That sounds about right - I also have a fubar'd 'top bar' on all my monitors [14:04] intore: just use the network config tool [14:04] Socket-: ls -ld /etc/ /etc/ssl [14:04] tyler_d: Did I remove a package I wasn't supposed to? [14:04] UICTamale: define that please? [14:04] intore: remove the entries from /etc/network/interfaces and use the gnome-network-manager tool [14:04] drwxr-xr-x 103 root root 4096 Apr 9 12:36 /etc/ [14:04] drw-r--r-- 7 root root 4096 Apr 9 18:56 /etc/ssl [14:04] geez...where the fudge do I look...I can't print in the office! It just says access denied... [14:04] UICTamale: I don't think so, possibly related to video card, however very hard to say [14:04] Socket-: does this answer your question? [14:04] UICTamale: could that be a side effect of those pseudo-funky-hover-scrollbars? [14:05] tried disabling them? still same effect? [14:05] etc needs 755? [14:05] tyler_d: I have permanently viewable but unclickable 'File Edit View Go Bookmarks Help' options in the very top left of my monitor, displayed directly under the far-left unity launcher [14:05] ikonia: why? i need to resolve this problem because gdm and lxdm give me problems about login with ldap account credential [14:05] Socket-: etc is already 755. /etc/ssl is not executable, thus no one can "go in it" [14:05] tyler_d: It's like my menu bar is 'still there' visibly but not functionally [14:06] so when you try to cat a file, the executable flag must be set to read it? [14:06] but the scroll bars being gone in gnome-terminal is the more pressing problem [14:06] i thought thats what the r did [14:06] Socket-: on parent directories, yes of course. Not on the file itself. [14:07] Socket-: you can view executable permission on a directory as the ability to access what's inside [14:08] gotcha === derpy|2 is now known as derpee [14:08] so, all parent directories, / /etc/ /etc/ssl must have the x flag set in order to view the files within [14:08] Socket-: yes [14:08] why in syslog there are line about wpa_supplicant when it's not mentioned in /etc/network/interfaces? [14:08] thanks [14:09] intore: you can't login with gdm because they are not setup on the network at that time [14:09] tyler_d: what did you mean when you said: UICTamale: have to "take-over" the current unity [14:09] intore: use the gnome network toold to confirm you can join the network sucessfully, then look at solutions once you have confirmed that [14:09] ikonia: you think? [14:10] ikonia: now am using Network Manager [14:10] ikonia: but am logged with local account [14:10] I can scrollback with xterm and the mousewheel, but there still isn't any scrollbar or scroll indicator of any kind. In gnome-terminal, when i use the mousewheel it goes through my command history [14:10] intore: so ? [14:11] ikonia: i mean using Network Manager i can connect to internet [14:11] Guten Morgen Damen und Herren! [14:12] intore: ok, so note down the configuration settings and apply them to your network interfaces file OR use the "connect on startup" option within the application [14:12] Thax for input got sound just really low even with it turn up max..but its something I can work with.. :) [14:13] !ubottu [14:13] Hi!

[14:16] wavded: I'm wondering if this has been merged into the nfs packages in later versions of ubuntu [14:16] wavded: eg: the rpc package now contains all of these [14:16] intore: because I know what the problem is [14:16] intore: I don't need to see a syslog [14:16] hello [14:16] ikonia: so, you think is about bringing up the interfaces [14:17] Anyone working with CUDA on UBUNTU here ? [14:17] intore: I know it is [14:17] someone tell me how to install nvidia driver [14:17] dose anybody here know anything about the System 76 Ubuntu laptops? [14:17] MrGizmo757: such as [14:17] ikonia: so, where do i have to set "connect on startup" [14:18] chai_: intall 'nvidia-current' in the Software Center [14:18] i just need a new laptop. i was interested in one. just wondering if they are any good [14:18] is anyone use blackbuntu? [14:19] fuck [14:19] they only have two models righ tnow. the 14.1 lemur ultra and the 15.6 pangolin performance. the website dosen't really give a whole lot of detail about them [14:19] I think I fixed it - had to do with the option named "Use keystrokes to scroll on alternate screen" [14:19] I'm trying to run audio out of my phone into the mic or line in jack on a computer. I see that there's a signal registering. I'm getting nothing out the speakers. Sound is fine otherwise. Line in doesn't pass sound through either [14:20] MrGizmo757: why limiting yourself to system76 devices? [14:20] i have laptop with combo audio jack. Output working input Notworking. Ubuntu 12.04. But i need use mic also. [14:21] i'm having a big problem with my barcode scanner. It works on Ubuntu, but consistently dropping some digits of the barcode (this does not happen on WIndows). If anyone has experience with this problem, please help. [14:21] vamadir: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [14:21] fidel? [14:22] All I really want is to be able to scroll my window back while in a byobu or screen session.. is this really the expected behavior? (having to use a key combination like alt-pageup just to see scrollback?) [14:22] they have driver packages for windows and other OS's too i looked into that. so i wont be locked in if i get one. i just use Ubuntu primarily and they promise compatability and they also write driver packages to promise compatability with future releases as well. and as an ubuntu user that is very attrative to me [14:22] vamadir, support for 12.04 in #ubuntu+1 [14:22] its problem not VERSION. Its problem UBUNTU [14:22] vamadir, thats the correct channel for it [14:22] vamadir, 12.04 is Not supported here til then [14:23] MrGizmo757: i'm not into those system76 devices ...but well ... consider that the world worked before that special offer pretty similar ;) [14:23] is anyone use blackbuntu? [14:23] chai_: it's not supported in this channel [14:24] if that helps pointing out that you shouldnt limit yourself per se to just 1 vendor [14:24] bazhang. noob? [14:24] chai_, whats that; it's not an official release, try to find their channel with alis [14:24] vamadir, that language is not welcome here [14:24] OK :D [14:24] !alis | chai_ [14:24] chai_: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [14:24] vamadir: just listen to us - if we point you to #ubuntu+1 - you should as kthere [14:24] how can I fix XOpen display failed ? [14:25] thats true. i just run into all kinds of headaches somtimes with My current laptop dealing with ubuntu. especialy regressions and such as new releases come out. system 76 advertises Regression support with their driver packages. that is one of the main things that intrest me. [14:25] hieunguyen, hey, sounds liek my issue. Can you see that there is sound coming in on the VU meter, just can't hear it? [14:25] ok. i have laptop with combo audio jack. Output working input Notworking. Ubuntu VERSION NOT DIFERENT. But i need use mic also. [14:25] hieunguyen, sorry, that was for vamadir [14:25] yes, there is sound when a barcode is scanned [14:25] the hardware specs also seem to be pretty decent for the price. i just figure sombody here would probably know somthing about them since they are built around ubuntu. [14:26] Can sombody tell me how i set the default audio input device in ubuntu 12.04 === reto is now known as Guest57899 [14:26] fidel, I don't know as vamadir's problem is a 12.04 issue; I'm seeing it in 12.04 but also fedora. I wonder if it's alsa or pulse, but I've no clue. [14:26] intore: so can you ping 192.168.5.1 with your wifi now with this last config? [14:28] sacarlson: no, ikonia suggest me to use gnome network tool and i'll try it also but i'd like to resolve from console also [14:28] intore: I did too to try network-manager before you spend so much time in console [14:29] is there any way to get the "create shortcut" when right-clicking on the desktop in 11.10? [14:29] sacarlson: i know but i don't like to leave unresolved that [14:29] Hi im trying to recover an important odt document with foremost after a crash. Correct me if i'm wrong but i believe foremost pack odt files as zip archives. But if i look in my zip recovery folder there are a TON of zip file all names some kind of number that don't make sense.. how am I suppose to find anything i wonder [14:30] Hey I installed some adium themes in empathy and now it crashes whenever I try to open the preferences... does anyone know how I reset the config?

[14:33] auronandace, yeah [14:33] kmh42, using what? pavucontrol or something else [14:33] shall I delete that [14:33] Paddy_NI: or rename it yeah [14:33] intore: your mixing two problems, you can only solve one at a time [14:34] auronandace, Okay cheers mate going to try [14:34] Paddy_NI: renaming it would be safer, just in case there are things in there you need [14:34] bazhang Using the defauld Ubuntu Audio settings [14:34] kmh42, tried with the tool I suggested then? [14:35] sacarlson: i started with gdm, then lxdm without result, so i tried with console, no result, now i come back to gdm! [14:36] sacarlson: in this while i'm learning many things [14:36] ! [14:36] intore: I'm not sure what gdm has to do with your network as graphics are not manditory [14:36] Who have combo audio jack? How to doing normal detect hardware?

Codename announcement here: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/784 | Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [14:43] Right as I hit enter [14:43] demonboy: hope the whole day is not like that for you. [14:43] Morning all. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on what would be causing ubuntu 11.10 64bit, to randomly crash to login screen when using a web browser. Could be Firefox, or Chrome. I run for days find and other days crashes several times an hour. [14:43] hi since i installed miro , torrent file in firefox are managed by it , however i would like to configure deluged as main program ? where is located that configuration (gconf , etc , firefox , deluged .....) [14:44] demonboy: have u implemented the libnpjp2.so aswell ? [14:44] troulouliou_dev: Firefox needs to be told to download .torrent files, not invoke Miro (or any other app). [14:44] mneptok, i mean the "open with" option [14:44] Mneptok: it's been 4 days that had this problem I've only slept a total like 5 hours so you have excuse if I'm just tryna get some answers because ubuntu plus 1 isn't really helping [14:45] demonboy: are u listening? [14:45] HELP !!! with "No CUDA Capable Device Found" error [14:45] Yes I'm checking now [14:45] I've booted to 10.04, and have the same problem with audio coming in to line-in or mic jacks are not producing sound out the speakers. [14:45] open the terminal and write locate libnpjp2.so [14:46] troulouliou_dev: right-click a .torrent and edit the prefs for the filetype [14:46] demonboy, then be patient. this is not the support chan for 12.04 [14:46] !details | chamku__ [14:46] chamku__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [14:47] bazhang: How can I set the defauld Microphone in pavucontrolle? [14:47] Although when I try to look at the GUI sound mixer, get "Waiting for sound system to respond," so I haven't actually seen a VU meter jumping around to tell me that there is audio coming in. [14:47] bearly230: what software is installed that is not part of ubuntu repository's ? I've never had any crashes from a fresh ubuntu 11.10 install [14:48] Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit | Dev driver, Toolkit and SDK downloaded for CUDA 4.1 | All of them successfully installed | [14:48] No Errors [14:48] I've got a whole list of apps that I have installed. The issue only happens when I'm in a web browser. Dosn't matter if I have anything else open or not. [14:48] I'm using ubuntu with LXDE, wondering if anyone knows how I can disable touchpad scrolling from causing a switch from one desktop to another... its annoying [14:49] bearly230: maybe flash? I have flash on ubuntu 11.10 but not crashing [14:49] @ GirlyGirl , @ Ubottu .. Details Given Above [14:49] mneptok, thanks :) was so simple [14:50] mneptok, the backand conf is in gconf ? [14:50] I have flash installed for firefox, but chrome uses it's own built in flash. [14:50] bazhang: it's weird because everything will load correctly but firefox will crash or google chrome crash what is the toy gun works fine dishes every time rune scape will load it crashes the browser [14:50] chamku__: 1) ubottu is a bot ... 2) No errors so what's the problem [14:50] troulouliou_dev: somewhere on Nautilus' .gconf-y stuff, IIRC [14:50] @ GirlyGirl , @ Ubottu When I run SDK example devquery, Error : error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [14:50] Is there a log file that I can look at to see what actually crashed?

[14:55] connecting from Win7 with realvnc [14:55] to ubuntu 11.10 [14:55] Hello, anyone know why my ubuntu install only gives me a 2 mbit/s connection when Windows on the same computer gives me 8-10 mbit/s? Testing with speedtest.net [14:55] UltraVNC is better, but thats not the problem [14:56] bbs [14:56] Al_nz1, did you run the commands to set you vncpasswd ? [14:56] your [14:57] !netconsole [14:58] felix688: for me my internet is time dependent some times it's fast other's it's slow so take your measurments close in time to get better compare [14:58] felix688: exact same browser, revision, installed extensions etc etc on both machines accessing speedtest.net? [14:58] felix688: another posibility is maybe max packet block size I forget the verible that changes that === harmagent is now known as vector === trevor is now known as Guest88084 [14:59] felix688: IPv6 is enabled or disabled on both machines? the network stack on both is fairly similar? [15:00] sacarlson: No, have had this problem for a week now, ever since i installed Ubuntu... Downloadspeeds are terrible [15:00] felix688: maybe it's the MTU setting (max packet size) I'll see if I can find the method to change it [15:01] felix688: here's one way to change it http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-change-mtu-maximum-transmission-unit-of-network-interface-in-ubuntu-linux.html [15:02] felix688: if you can find what windows uses for there setting and change it to that or just trial and error maybe 1400 [15:02] sacarlson: am using network setting in system->administration->network but i don't find where set "connect at startup" [15:04] hey there people [15:04] just a quick question regarding ubuntu server 11 [15:04] intore: in network-manager? I'm not sure I don't use it, I just set in interfaces or scripts, I've never tried it with auto connect wifi at boot [15:04] how can i set the ip manually ? [15:04] JermBob, by editing the conf file [15:05] what config do i need to edit ? [15:05] How can i recover an odt file, losts of work is lost and im about to throw my computer out the window... after cr [15:05] crash the file when to 0 kb [15:05] compdoc ? [15:05] sacarlson: but we have seen that here i doesn't run!!! [15:05] edit /etc/network/interfaces [15:06] examples exist on google [15:06] tried foremost but it just recovers a gazillion of junk [15:06] compdoc how can i restart the network service ? [15:06] sacarlson: am not understanding, am sorry [15:06] to execute the changes === Sid7 is now known as Sw33NY [15:06] hmm, I think it sudo service networking restart [15:06] intore: you told me that network-manager works for you and that you wanted to try console maybe it's me that doesn't understand [15:06] been a while [15:07] k [15:07] all good === Sw33NY is now known as Sid9 [15:07] Is there a channel specific to trackback linux? [15:08] sacarlson: ikonia suggest me to use gnome network tools and i understood you also, is not? [15:08] Milos|IRSSI: #backtrack-linux [15:08] xangua: awesome, thanks. [15:08] compdoc the network ip and broadcast ip are what exactly ? [15:08] intore: as far as I can see network tools can ping and test they can't configure routes, that's done in network-manager [15:09] intore: I don't even have network-manger installed on this machine so I can't even look at it to suggenst anything [15:09] !dns [15:09] To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [15:09] JermBob, theres no need to assign the broadcast ip - thats automatic and only needs changing if youre doing something out of the ordinary [15:09] i configured my 11.10 with compiz to use 5 desktops horizontally, but it only shows me 4, what can i do? [15:10] and network ? [15:10] intore: other option is wicd, it's more powerfull than network-manager with wifi but not sure it can connect anything at boot [15:10] the ip of the machine is 10.0.0.10 if i followed the examples i would guess its 10.0.0.0 ? [15:10] sacarlson: yes but ikonia told me that the problem logging with ldap account is becasue network interfaces are not bring up at startup so it doesn't find account on the server [15:10] JermBob, no need to set that either, but it means the ip address range the lan is using [15:10] ah all good [15:10] will leave it out [15:10] thats automatic as well [15:11] ikonia: hi, did you suggest me to use gnome network tools? [15:11] anyone know the google dns ? [15:11] do set the address, netmask, and gateway [15:11] know of, JermBob ? [15:11] intore: I don't know anything about this ldap account but I can tell you that my server system boots fine auto connected with just /etc/network/interfaces entries [15:11] JermBob: 8.8.8.8 [15:12] 8.8.4.4 is secondary, easily google-able [15:12] 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ? something like that. [15:12] intore: is this some kind of pxe boot thing? [15:12] sacarlson: well but we have seen that with my system it doesn't run [15:12] Hi [15:12] I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on a Thinkpad [15:12] thanks [15:13] intore: your system runs fine other than this ldap thing [15:13] I am no longer able to log in via loginmanager [15:13] login on a console (ctrl+alt+f1) works [15:14] also graphical login as user root (i have activated root login) works [15:14] sacarlson: not only that, it doesn't connect to the wifi network by console using interfaces file [15:14] whats the best media player for ubuntu [15:14] intore: is ldap a part of your ISP proxy?

Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [15:15] intore: you have to move one brick at a time you can't connect to you ldap until you can at least ping your gateway [15:15] I've tried some help from the internet (e.g. restoring ~/.xinitrc from default) but it did not work [15:15] hmmm [15:15] sacarlson: i know! [15:16] intore: you can't fly to the moon until you build your rocket remember? [15:16] well i switched from w7 itunes and i really want something which is good for listening to mpeg4 bazhang [15:16] n7, and what have you tried [15:16] n7 ie from that list [15:17] n [15:17] none yet bazhang lol [15:17] while doing an apt-get upgrade can i run another ssh session and carry on doing stuff ?

At the end there is the error "No Apache MPM installed", but I have the prefork paket installed [15:17] JermBob: sure [15:17] thankd [15:17] s [15:17] anyone here who suffered the same problem? [15:18] n7, theres not a best. please dont poll here; #ubuntu-bots can help select if you cannot [15:18] JermBob: might want to checkout screen and tmux as well [15:18] sacarlson: the problem was born trying to login using ldap account, i thinked the problem was about gdm and i tried with lxdm but i didn't run. i wanted to login using the console and i met the problem about connection using interfaces file not Network Manager [15:19] intore: is this some remote system your trying to login with vnc or something? [15:20] ok sorry and thanks bazhang [15:20] sacarlson: is a pc in my lan [15:20] does ubuntu server come with a gui ? [15:20] JermBob, no [15:20] JermBob: no [15:20] intore: so you have no screen, just want to ssh and vnc into it? [15:20] awesome [15:20] thanks [15:21] When I try to look at the GUI sound mixer, I get "Waiting for sound system to respond," so I haven't actually seen a VU meter jumping around to tell me that there is audio coming in. I can't get audio in through the line-in or mic jack and out the speakers [15:21] sacarlson: into ldap server? [15:21] How do I regrub and remove old versions that no longer exist in /boot [15:21] intore: I don't know what an ldap server is but can't you just ssh into it? [15:22] intore: point me to a link that explains this ldap [15:22] sacarlson: yes [15:22] intore: if you can ssh in then I guess you have no network problem [15:23] sacarlson: i haven't network problem [15:23] where can I read about changelogs of a driver rtl8187 to know if changes have been made and in which kernels [15:24] intore: ok one brick moved now move the next one [15:25] !botsnack [15:25] Yum!

[15:26] sacarlson: ldap server has some account, am using my pc like client ldap and i have to login on my pc using an ldap account. ikonia told me that i can't login using an ldap account because at the startup og login manager, my pc is not yet connected on the lan so it can't find the ldap account credential === daz_ is now known as Guest89844 [15:27] thanks [15:27] how do i import my songs from my windows 7 partiton [15:27] into my music folder on here [15:28] intore: ok then skip ldap and use normal authentication until you figure out ldap [15:28] n7: if you want to copy them you can just select all in the file manager and copy / paste into the new location [15:28] ok [15:28] n7: alternatively you can just leave them where they are and use them from there [15:28] sacarlson: i can use a normal authentication, no problem [15:28] intore: I wonder if you can setup different authentication for different users? === StaffRingedSeal is now known as Myrtti [15:29] intore: then time to research ldap authentication [15:30] intore: I assume that's what ldap is used for authentication as you haven't given me any link about it [15:30] sacarlson: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol [15:31] hi guys, how to bring up auto start up menu screen?

[15:36] sacarlson: in this way it can connect to ldap server and find the accounts [15:36] intore: I don't know how that could be a problem I never login to my system and it runs my apache2 server just fine [15:36] Xtreme: Were you asking ikonia earlier? [15:36] gouzou, dude, i told you, i have classic them [15:36] phong_, you should find the startup applications somewhere in the "system" dialog next to the applications dialog (Gnome) [15:36] yandex, how is that relevant?

[15:38] gouzou, dude i got it [15:38] and I tried to build it from scratch or import it to Eclipse but the dependencies for plugins require diferent versions than the ones I already have [15:38] do you know an easy way to reuse this project? No instructions attached [15:39] gouzou, it is in Application->Other->Startup Appliction [15:39] lol [15:39] intore: then keep some accounts local and some on nfs, they don't all have to be nfs, but my pxe boot fine from my nfs so ??

[15:40] grailian: You might have to satisfy the Java dependencies manually then rather than using Eclipse plugins. Does the project use Apache Ant or anything like that? [15:40] intore: ok then 2 bricks moved next problem [15:40] sacarlson: am sorry if i didn't explain you before [15:41] gouzou, which distribution do you use now?

[16:38] anyone experience issues with amdcccle in 11.10 dropping with no information from command line when modifying the multi-desktop settings? [16:40] I am trying to run a program that needs libexpat.so.0 . I tried simply making a link from .so.1 to .so.0 but now (not suprisingly) I get segfaults. Is there a place where I can download this file from an older version of ubuntu? [16:42] Does anyone know how to use Wink on 11.10? [16:44] daviddoria: depending on the prerequisites for libexpat, it might just be simplest to build it yourself. [16:46] hello guys, I'm using IPv6 on Ubuntu server (oneiric). unless I disabled autoconf_ [16:46] and ra, it stops working after a minute or two after boot... [16:49] how would I configure an ethernet port on a server to only accept traffic coming from a specific ip address? === Zorro is now known as Guest80515 [16:50] root____2: iptables can do what you want very easily. [16:50] so why when I ssh into a machine, start vnc4server and then vnc in, do I get a blank screen and mouse? is it to do with not having logged into the machine first? [16:51] sipior: that's what I figured just wanted to make sure there was nothing else...thank you [16:51] root____2: if you're uncomfortable with using iptables directly, ufw/gufw might be worth a shot. [16:52] sipior: what if ufw/gufw...honestly I think iptables may be my best route but I like to keep my options open [16:52] root____2: they're simply an interface to iptables. [16:52] sacarlson: no, it doesn't run. like before it hadn't ip address, i kill and stopped every thing, i ifup/down, it keeps the address but it doesn't ping [16:53] I am trying to achieve the following by a bash script: (1) Copy some files from machine (A) to another (linux) machine (B) (2) run one of the scripts on machine (B) (3) Copy the results back to machine (A). I found a tiny script here (http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/33970/7207) which seams to work but since I want to automate the script to be started once a day, the (three) password promts get in my way. So I tried the public key genera [16:53] tion part, but somehow I don't get how this should work. It still asks me for passwords. How can I get rid of the password prompts?

[16:56] Aufwind: no, but your permissions might be wrong [16:56] it refuses to resize text in a reasonable way; i make it larger, it makes it twice as small...every time i edit the text, the font gets smaller for no apparent reason (i'm deleting text, not adding it, for instance) [16:57] beandog, You got a point there.

The system doesn't hard-lock nor kernel panic, but I'm unable to do anything and unable to envoke the virtual terminal. The keyboard and mouse are completely unresponsive [17:25] LmtdAt: it will mount in /media/?? [17:25] sacarlson, hmm, brb. [17:25] sacarlson: one moment, just installing pastebinit and my config is on another box which doesn't have ssh enabled. fixing that now [17:25] The system still responds to sysreq [17:26] X reports that that " EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop." === wangerin1 is now known as wangerin [17:26] sacarlson, I don't see it in /media or /mnt [17:26] What should I do if my external harddrive only gives me this message "usb 2-1.5: new high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd" (its a truecrypt harddrive). [17:26] sacarlson, How do I get nautilus to tell me where I'm browsing!? [17:27] LmtdAt: I'm not sure then, what is the default mount for nautilus?

[17:27] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/923647/ [17:27] I don't see the lib in there, maybe it's dynamic? [17:27] sacarlson, checking http://kwlug.org/node/725 [17:28] sacarlson, Okay, I found it. I don't want it there ^_^ [17:28] LmtdAt: I think it's /home/your_user_name/.gvfs [17:28] sacarlson, That's what the article says. [17:28] bitplane: what is this ? [17:28] Al_nz1: copy a .desktop from ~/.config/autostart to ~/Desktop and edit it using nano [17:29] ActionParsnip: I mean I have /opt/teamviewer/teamviewer/7/wine/drive_c/Program Files/TeamViewer/Version7/TeamViewer.exe === q0rban is now known as q0rban|otp === mefrio is now known as mefrio|dinner [17:29] and I want a shortcut to TeamViewer.exe on the desktop [17:29] cant I do a link or something? [17:29] oops sorry sacarlson, wrong person [17:29] sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/923647/ [17:30] LmtdAt: if you don't want it there you can symbolic link it to anther location but it will still also be there [17:30] Al_nz1: the Exec line will need changing to: wine /path/to/file.exe [17:30] sacarlson, That's not terrible... I'm going to have to do this every time I log on, right? I feel like there ought to be a command-line way of doing this. [17:30] bitplane: can you install the package "chrpath", and then run "chrpath -l $(which esia)"? [17:31] LmtdAt: oh if you want it permanent I guess you will want to look into adding it into fstab or other method [17:31] Al_nz1: you can set the icon to whatever you like too :-) [17:31] sipior: "no rpath or runpath tag found." [17:31] Do I need root access to create a cronjob on a linux machine? [17:31] should I just set LDD_THINGY_PATH? [17:32] what is the command to check if a package is installed? [17:32] bitplane: that's kind of a last resort. [17:32] LmtdAt: I'm not sure I would want a samba conection in fstab as if it fails to mount it will stall boot untill it time out [17:33] Aufwind: you can cron as user too, if what you want to schedule needs root access you will need to run: sudo crontab -e [17:33] !installed [17:33] sipior: can I set multiple paths and just keep adding them? [17:33] bitplane: you could whip up a script which sets the variable and then runs the program, but that's less than ideal. linking the library to /usr/lib might also be of use. what error do you get when the application runs?

[17:34] just to unbrick my sheevaplug then I can install uboot and I'm running [17:34] are paths separated by semicolons?

[17:35] bitplane: sorry, separated by *colons* not semicolons [17:35] Aufwind: if you have a desktopUI you can use gnome-schedule as a GUI. Run with gksudo to use it as root [17:35] jtyska: did you just add a video driver? [17:36] /server irc.foonetic.net [17:36] How do I tell which type of Windows share I should be using (samba, cifs, nfs?)?

[17:36] jtyska: or maybe a kernel upgrade? you can try boot the older kernel that will probly still work by holding the shift key at boot [17:36] sipor: ohhh... looks like you were right, this tool must be launching a 32-bit tool. the flash process now fails with "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" [17:37] Aufwind: np dude :-) [17:38] Oops, sorry I asked and left. [17:38] sipior: do I need to install 32-bit libraries too? like, is there a way to tell apt-get to install a 32-bit version of this library? [17:38] LmAt: i'd go with samba, it's quick and easy [17:38] ActionParsnip, Ah, so it doesn't depend on the server in use. It's my option? [17:39] bitplane: they're simply provided in separate packages.

[18:13] Pici: api acpi === Guest80515 is now known as Gurty [18:14] do i have to reboot when i changed an alternative ? (by update-alternative) [18:14] or it should be the kernel who load it automatically Pici [18:14] neurochrome: sounds like a bug. Be sure the filesystem is healthy and be sure to safe remove it under the new kernel so you know all is well [18:14] Ugur:.no its ready to go. [18:14] jerome__: It should be handled automatically by the kernel. [18:15] ActionParsnip, Yeah, it's fine, I have two machines (one about to go EOL) and it works fine on the older machine [18:15] smb works better on the older machine too [18:15] go figure [18:15] I need to update my video driver for a 27 Imac running 11.10.

[18:18] There is no audible bell in my computer. Any idea how to configure it ? === q0rban|otp is now known as q0rban [18:18] Neurochrome: i've tried the graphical tool (still called additional drivers) but I get nowhere [18:18] sddhrthrt, if it's wired then you should set that in bios [18:18] hi how r u every one [18:18] diamonds: there is a manual method. I created a bug for it a while back. Same method just a different filename [18:18] is there a better room to be asking this video driver question? [18:18] jwmto, go on... what exactly happens? [18:18] neurochrome: wired? no idea. How do i check that? [18:19] it runs for a while but nothing updates [18:19] ActionParsnip: I don't follow; a manual method for what? for installing? [18:19] sddhrthrt, did you build it yourself? [18:19] and gnome 3 is still gibberish on the screen if I run gnome 3 instead of unity [18:19] neurochrome: okay, my problem specifically is, i dont hear an alert when i get a mention/hilight in a channel/query window in irssi. How do i configure that? [18:19] Diamonds: it installs dropbox as a service you can stop and start :-) [18:19] Pici: maybe it's that which cause the trap [18:20] Diamonds: yes, installing in CLI only [18:20] ActionParsnip: where can I find this package or src?

[18:21] sddhrthrt, if it's plugged in where it should be then you have to make sure it's enabled in your bios, then configure your IRC client to use it... I couldn't tell you how to set irssi to use it [18:21] Diamonds: look at the bugs I have reported on Launchpad. You see how [18:21] sddhrthrt, ok, so what 'bell' are you referring to [18:21] neurochrome: I rephrase my query, how do you make irssi create a bell when i get a mention? Okay, anyone else, please?

[18:33] i remember it used to be a difference of 1, but right now on checking both my machines ive found the above. [18:33] both are primary paritions [18:33] the first partition was created through ubuntu's install.

[18:38] tidux, RobinJ: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 only at this time [18:38] neurochrome, like what? from 1:10 on a full battery to 2:48 is a rather nice change :p [18:38] k [18:39] RobinJ, I read about it a few weeks back, gimme a sec [18:39] Yes wamty. All of mine show the same. [18:39] wamty: For performance reasons, you should be aligning on at least MiB boundaries, but any alignment is supported. I recommend using parted or GParted for partitioning as they are aware of filesystems and follow best practices for alignment among other things.

[18:40] marcus__, connection dropped [18:40] Jordan_U: in theory it should be different, but if the disk was partitioned by MB instead of cylinders then its possible to split a cylinder?

[18:43] neurochrome, last time i added the kernel parameter that does that it broke my laptop's battery [18:43] RobinJ, I wouldn't worry too much just yet [18:44] wamty: I have no idea what you mean by "partitioned by MB instead of cylinders". Like I said, cylinders are a myth at this point and anything even vaguely modern tool uses LBA. [18:44] halakar, you can get them working, sure, they are just notorious for their somewhat terrible support [18:44] okay. the "additional driver" thing doesn't seem to work, [18:45] but again, the thing hasn't finished updating yet, so i'll reboot after that and see what's up.

I'm not a fan so far [18:46] bombadil_rocks: That's an entirely subjective question (I never thought Unity sucked). Try it and see, or use one of the many non-unity options. [18:46] shell on the other hand is semi-decent [18:47] !notunity | bombadil_rocks [18:47] bombadil_rocks: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty?

[18:51] wamty: Indeed, the start and end blocks are the same which could be a problem. I would recommend repartitioning with [G]Parted and while you're at it make sure that your partitions are all aligned on MiB boundaries (which [G]Parted does by default). [18:51] Jordan_U: those were lined up by bytes: 146485247 - 146485248 ? [18:51] there's a package called 'firmware-b43-installer' that i am applying [18:53] wamty: Sorry, I was confused by the fact that you also ran "sudo fdisk -l" which I did not ask you to run. Your partitions do not overlap, as can be seen in the -lu output. [18:53] Jordan_U: So what do you recommend? what happened here? [18:53] is empathy suppory skype? [18:54] It's working [18:54] bombadil_rocks: You could try Kubuntu if you dislike unity [18:54] Bennlucky7: No. There are no third-party skype clients, their protocol is not open source.

I am stuck at 1024x768 [19:15] Vespakoen, boot the livecd, mount the / partition on /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, sudo chroot /mnt [19:16] doxxyyy, old desktop monitor = VGA?

[19:17] this monitor is not wide screen [19:17] should i get adobe reader on my rig, or is there something else i can use? [19:18] escott, can you copy/paste what you typed after i said the mount stuff ? [19:18] halakar, evince? [19:18] Vespakoen, boot the livecd, mount the / partition on /mnt, mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev, mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc, sudo chroot /mnt [19:18] to force a edid in nvidia cards is a pain in ass doxxyyy, [19:19] what about the best video player? [19:19] Allright going to do that now, brb [19:19] !best | halakar [19:19] halakar: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:19] right [19:19] ubottu: who's the best #ubuntu bot? [19:19] i7c: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:19] well, i am getting smplayer [19:19] i like it in kde [19:20] the ubuntu software center, does it warn you if a package needs dependencies, or does it just go get whatever it needs? [19:20] halakar: smplayer is my favorite. [19:20] halakar, if you are using kubuntu you should just use the default applications provided with kde. so you probably dont want to use evince as that is gnome/unity [19:20] bobo37773: cool :) [19:20] escott: nono, i am using ubuntu [19:20] lol [19:20] on this spare laptop here, [19:20] halakar: and since it is my favorite that automatically makes it the best [19:21] but i might move from Mageia with KDE to Kubuntu [19:21] bobo37773: right ;) [19:21] escott, "mount the / partition on /mnt" == sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt ? [19:21] anyone know how to disable recent files in unity dash? [19:22] Vespakoen_, yes [19:22] Bennlucky7, Activity Log Manager [19:23] escott, root@ubuntu =) [19:24] is there a way to get rid of the guest login... ? [19:25] thanx escott, sometimes i played erotic media :-)) [19:25] halakar: A rigth way? Which way were you planning on doing it? [19:25] escott, do you want me to paste something from f/g disk ? [19:25] can i use another alt-tab switcher with xfce ? [19:26] i was looking for something like 'user accounts' or something that i can use to disable that guest login [19:26] halakar: /etc/passwd [19:26] i7c, try compiz config manager, it has a couple of switchers [19:26] Vespakoen_: thanks. [19:27] be carefull with it though, it is a bit unstable (compiz config manager itself) [19:27] do any of you use R? if so, do you have any preferences for graphical frontends? [19:27] 12.04 beta 1 still running fine [19:27] same here [19:27] oh, beta 2 actually [19:27] except for my grub-fuckup =( [19:28] 12.04 beta 1 still running fine [19:28] why not beta 2 [19:28] same thing isn't it? providing you've been doing updates (or do you need dist_upgrade?) [19:29] well 1 has still not given any prob === GirlyGirl_ is now known as GirlyGirl [19:29] I was trying to crash it too [19:29] wanted to report a bug [19:30] I found a bunch, it's mostly okay now though === matteo is now known as Guest65067 [19:30] i know this is going to sound dumb, but is unity any more stable in the new betas? [19:30] Escherial: this is not a programmers' channel [19:31] I am looking beyond ubuntu actually [19:31] tanin: Escherial #ubuntu+1 for pangolin [19:31] it's just so stable [19:31] !bug | tanin [19:31] tanin: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [19:31] escott are you still in here? [19:31] xangua: i'm confused. what is pangolin? [19:31] ah, the next release, apparently? [19:31] Vespakoen, yes. been reading. run dpkg -l "*grub*" and see what version of grub you have installed [19:31] xangua: I tried ubuntu+1 earlier and there was no one there [19:32] I am trying to setup postfix using gmail relay. Following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GmailPostfixFetchmail [19:32] echo 'test mail' | mail -s 'testing this' myemail@gmail.com works fine, however, sendmail -bv myemail@gmail.com does not [19:32] scotty, I see grub, and grub2, and a lot of grub-... and grub2-... [19:33] xangua: 12.04 a.k.a precise pangolin [19:33] thats right [19:33] Vespakoen, you probably want grub-efi or something. not sure what works best with refit [19:33] Vespakoen, or for that matter why refit doesnt offer the boot option itself [19:34] Yeh I think there is a problem in my MBR or GPT tables somewhere, it tried with gpart to recreate the tables but that didn't work === dan__ is now known as Guest55953 [19:34] Thinking about booting phone with ubuntu [19:34] if i run a command to list the table, can you get clues from that? === Guest55953 is now known as kneemoe [19:34] balachmar: I suggest asking in #ubuntu-server [19:35] Vespakoen, you would have to be more detailed about how the boot is failing to ascertain if the hybrid is to blame [19:35] @guntbert: Aah thanks for the tip [19:35] !pastebin | Vespakoen [19:35] Vespakoen: 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. === bandu is now known as coyo [19:36] http://pastie.org/3763909 [19:36] I saw a pathetic youtube never used video from someone who clearly never used ubuntu [19:36] yeh, i am familiar with IRC ;) [19:36] was wondering why it showed showed flash screen while shutting down [19:37] thought it was rebooting [19:37] lol [19:37] how do i get a higher and (BIGger screen on virtural box? version 4.1.12 [19:37] tanin, how would we know, when u dont give a link, although if you did, then thier views would increase, do you want that? [19:38] sirknight, install the guest-utils [19:38] quick question: is it possible to upgrade from a vanilla Ubuntu 11.10 to a UbuntuStudio 12.04 (beta) without re-installing everything? a link to some how-to would be appreciated too [19:38] sirknight, or even better don't bother and just use "ssh -X" to connect to your virtual host (assuming it's linux) [19:38] then you can run apps from that distro on your own desktop [19:39] Added sudo gdisk /dev/sda to the pastie http://pastie.org/3763909 [19:39] why my video player play wmv with no sound? anyone know? [19:39] Is there anything else that could help identifying where it goes wrong? [19:39] ALWAY LINUX !.. [19:41] bitplane, huh? [19:41] sirknight, ssh into a box that has X installed using "ssh -X hostname" and you can launch desktop apps [19:42] they appear locally [19:42] Bennlucky7, which video player? [19:42] Vespakoen, not knowing what is happening with the boot i cant say what the hybrid has to do with anything, but your hybrid is a case study in why hybrids suck. your mbr partition shows blank space which a non-gpt aware partition manager would happily report as free, and you can't do anything about it because you can only have one protective gpt partition and it has to be continguous [19:43] Hmz, i see, well i went ahead and recreated the hybrid table, im just going to see what happends, if it doesnt work.. ill try to reinstall completely (ubuntu) [19:44] fingers crossed hehe, thanks for the help so far! [19:44] dlentz, the 12.04 default player [19:44] bitplane, im new at this stuff, but i know my way around linux but i dont know command line === bladernr_ is now known as bladernr_afk [19:45] Bennlucky7, totem? i would guess :-/ [19:45] ah okay sirknight, I was just saying. it's a nice way to run apps remotely [19:45] better than doing keyhole surgery through virtualbox [19:45] bitplane, ssh: connect to host dustin-home port 22: Connection refused [19:45] yeah totem [19:45] sirknight: sudo apt-get install ssh [19:46] after that you'll have an sshd running that you can connect to [19:46] bitplane, im at my computer [19:46] ah okay, you need to have ssh running before you can connect using X [19:46] also have a strong password if you're connecting over the internet [19:47] ok, thats cool [19:47] Hello [19:47] Bennlucky7, do you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed? [19:47] not what i was wanting but i can use it later... [19:47] GUT-UEFI: Hello there [19:47] only gstream [19:48] I have a big problem i am very disapointed that i cant instal ubuntu on an uefi bio [19:48] bitplane i wanted to install guess additions to vbox [19:48] any help plz [19:48] oi [19:48] sirknight: just mount the disk image, there's an option in the menus isn't there? [19:48] then you just run it [19:49] can i give 1 user several passwords? [19:49] GUT-UEFI: what problem? [19:49] Hans_Henrik: not on the same system [19:49] Hans_Henrik: I shouldn't think so. why would you want to do that? [19:49] i cant get to any instal optin when i put the cd in pc i restart [19:49] and then nothing hapens [19:50] i tryed but it just sits there, i have the news version 4.1.12, but the other ones are 4.1.8 [19:50] !who | sirknight [19:50] sirknight: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:50] is booting from the cd the screan bemoe violet and then nothing [19:50] GUT-UEFI: you need to allow your machine to boot from CD. you will need to change the "boot order" in the BIOS [19:50] become [19:50] oh [19:50] GUT-UEFI: Have you told your PC to boot from CD if it is there...check boot options [19:50] Hans_Henrik- Maybe you can give one user multiple accounts that all share the same directory [19:50] sirknight: you can find support for virtualbox in #vbox too :-) [19:50] yes i did it before bat not from this mainboard [19:51] myutio: wouldn't that cause all kinds of problems with permissions? [19:51] bitplane: there is 1 user that has all the GUI-stuff running. several people needs access to that 1 account; the password already on that account is too obscure for me to remember [19:51] but [19:51] Hi all [19:51] Hans_Henrik: bad idea - rethink your strategy [19:51] bitplane- that question is why I only said "maybe" [19:51] Hans, do they need physical access or can it be remote access? [19:52] Bennlucky7, you need to run "sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg" to get codec for wma [19:53] guntbert, i am talking to bitplane, but i am also not sayin his name cause if some one else wants to help, vbox community is know for there ,, well slow room responses.. unless a new distro comes out ... so this is the worst time to ask [19:53] I `sudo make install` something wrongly (LFS archive) , that installed initscripts into /etc/rc* , does apt-get install initscripts would reset them to default ? [19:53] dlentz, The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: [19:53] my terminal says [19:54] bitplane- I think if you gave all the account membership in the same group, and then made the user directory r/w group accessible, it might work [19:54] sirknight: so your real problem at the moment is how to install the GA in a vbox guest with ubuntu as guest OS? [19:55] Is there any way to get the Broadcom 43xx drivers INTO the live disk? [19:55] Bennlucky7, so is the package installed or not? [19:55] is this the irc.ubuntu.com? [19:55] already installed [19:55] sirknight: start your virtual machine, go to the menu: Devices -> Install guest additions [19:56] im trying save my totem [19:56] Just curious as I would like to take my Alfa USB back from my friend with the diskless laptop... [19:56] leopold: almost, it's #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net === dvza is now known as Guest68286 [19:56] Oh. [19:56] thanks bitplane for explaining. =) [19:56] hey all, anyone happen to know what install cd i need to install on a TM5800 processor? [19:56] leopold: irc.ubuntu.com forwards to irc.freenode.net [19:57] @ Pici, ah, then I think I understand. [19:57] mmercer: is that a 32bit cpu or 64-bit? [19:58] mmercer: Looks like Debian is having trouble with TM5800 devices. I doubt you'll get Ubuntu on it [19:58] ask in #linux [19:59] looks like 32-bit dunno if u can run ubuntu on that or not [19:59] I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with a Broadcom 4313 wireless adapter, yet NO HD. The SATA controller on the board is SHOT and I was wondering if there was any way to incorporate the broadcom drivers in the Live DVD to use the laptop from a USB key for my friend. [19:59] SamuraiAlba: u can i believe dunno how tho [19:59] u may have to install it everytime tho [19:59] anything u install will work for that live session until u reboot [19:59] that would be.. iffy? [19:59] bitplane: yeah, i had issues with installing ubuntu on it recently, was just curious if anyone else has had any success or what [20:00] i dont think it'd be iffy just annoying [20:00] can the Dell Inspiron handle plain old pata harddrives? [20:00] what miniPCIe wireless card will work WITHOUT having to install new drivers? [20:00] this particular dell cannot [20:01] hey guys, is this flash game working for anyone? i have tried both adobe's flashplayer and gnash, neither works with specifically this file. http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/light-bot-20-6061.swf [20:01] So , anyone to give a hint about reinstalling [k]ubuntu default init scripts ? [20:01] SamuraiAlba: My RTL-8185 doesn't need drivers [20:01] SamuraiAlba- if there is no possibility of a harddrive, I hope it has enough memory that you'll never need a swap partition [20:01] how can I let www-data access /home/*/public_html and nothing else besides the owner of that directory [20:02] i think totem doesnt support wmv [20:02] Anyone has got hibernate to work on Ubuntu 12.04? [20:02] !12.04 | leopold [20:02] leopold: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [20:03] clone1018: what kind of access? read? write? [20:03] @ubottu how do I get there? [20:03] what kind of animal is a Pangolin?

[20:05] @ dackyshawn, what kind of CPU do you have? Intel or AMD? [20:10] Hello. [20:10] hi [20:10] leopold: not sure why it matters.. but intel [20:10] How can I configure a cronjob, that runs every 25 hours (not 24!!) and which should be run let's say 5 times. Is this possible? [20:11] I am running Ubuntu 11.04 on VMware Workstation 7.0 on my Laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 32-bit. [20:11] i get an arp timeout on my ltsp setup.. anyknow what is caused by that? [20:11] Aufwind, what do you mean by "run 5 times" [20:11] Aufwind: I'd start 5 at-jobs for that [20:11] @ dackyshawn, well, my experience tell me things work better with intel. Don't know why though. [20:12] After installing a packet-crafting tool called scappy I got his error: "Can't import PyX." [20:12] escott, Well it should run now then after 25 hours then after 50 hours then after 75 ... and a last time after 125 hours from now on. [20:13] guntbert, Hm, that could work. A pitty that there is no shortcut for that. :-) [20:13] can anyone help me with this http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot [20:13] Aufwind, and then what? if you only want it to run 5 times, and then never again use at [20:13] Escherial, What is "at"? [20:14] leopold: i think it has more to do with hardware than with the actual cpu [20:14] PyX is used in Python. [20:14] like my macbook pro has an intel but that never hibernates, but my dell hibernates even tho it's also an intel [20:14] hi has anyone got a clue about banshee? [20:14] i think it's about the power management [20:15] @ dackyshawn, jepp, and Intel and AMD has two different views on hardware. I think. Like power usage. [20:15] I love my simple AMD E300 CPU combined APU but for compiling large things, I need my Intel CPU and a more powerful desktop [20:16] ARM [20:17] is there any other cpu beside intel and amd? [20:17] Aufwind: at is a tool to run a job just once like at now+25 ..... === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [20:17] Bennluck7 yes, ARM is one [20:17] VIA is an other [20:18] guntbert, Ah I didn't realize this is a cmd-line tool. :-)( [20:18] interesting === c0mrade is now known as c0mrade_____ [20:19] Aufwind: :) [20:19] #U+1 === sanjay_ is now known as crazyrohila [20:19] nehepp. Trying to joing the IRC for question about Ubuntu 12.04.

[20:21] hm... [20:21] Wikipedia is da shit! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC [20:22] leopold, please mind your language and topic in here [20:22] sorry. [20:22] haha [20:22] thinking loud even when typing. bad habits i guess [20:23] AIM alliance [20:24] hi, guys, quick question about banshee, which I have been using this afternoon, and which, after I tried to buy something, crashed. here some output if interested http://pastebin.com/L1qV3aWG any ideas? === FreeDoug is now known as DouglasA [20:26] so please remind me again, what is the topic at hand? [20:26] http://pastebin.com/L1qV3aWG [20:27] morri: Looks like a bug alright. Cairo (2D graphics library) seemed to crash displaying the cover art possibly... Have you tried using the latest Banshee? [20:27] hi there [20:27] leopold: strictly ubuntu support === c0mrade_____ is now known as c0mrade______ [20:28] can I calculate the checksum of a file in another way than using md5sum and sha1sum in the terminal and how do I handle a filename with spaces? [20:28] it only crashed after trying to buy something on it, it went alright all evening [20:28] @ guntbert thank you for clearing that out =) [20:28] it is banshee 2.2.1 [20:29] Lunar_Lander: If spaces, use a backslash e.g. This\ Is\ A\ File - or just use tab completion like most people... [20:29] ah, thanks [20:29] let my try that out [20:30] tab doesn't work [20:30] Lunar_Lander: Just type the first few characters of the filename then press tab, and if the terminal can match a unique name it'll autocomplete the rest [20:30] ah [20:30] wait [20:30] yeah it did it [20:30] wait [20:30] haloo [20:31] YES! [20:31] SharkMuttleworth, the backslash trick did work! [20:31] thanks very much! [20:31] Lunar_Lander: This isn't unique to Linux, it works in Windows command prompt etc. Pretty old feature [20:31] didnt have any updates recently so I assume that 2.2.1 is the most recent one [20:31] No problem [20:31] I was trying out stuff like filling the spaces with %20 or having to rename the files with underscores [20:32] which was tedious [20:32] I can't find the database directory for f-spot in ubuntu 11.10. It's not in ~/gnome2 . Any ideas where it is? [20:32] Hi, Is there a way to make a shortcut or script that starts a terminal and runs a command (python program) and doesn't immediately close when the program closes? [20:33] are there any programs availible for ubuntu that do similar things as microsoft publisher for windows? [20:33] thanks again SharkMuttleworth and good night :) [20:33] bigtom21485, have a look at scribus [20:33] duncan-nz: ~/.config/f-spot/repository-cache/photos.db [20:33] snii, I guess you could make the command "./pythonscript.py && read" [20:34] duncan-nz: thanks. I don't need anything fancy, just basic stuff like cards, etc. [20:34] : add bash ; to the script [20:34] dunno if that would create a shell window though, it might not [20:34] bigtom21485, then openoffice / libreoffice might be enough [20:35] now i'm installing kubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, i hope it is cool :) [20:35] morri: It's the lastest that Ubuntu updates to, but you can get a newer version from the official site/a ppa [20:35] hi! [20:35] how do I convert -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- -type private keys to Putty's user key format? [20:35] hm, Any Idea though why it happens just as I was about to go to paypal from within banshee ubuntu one? [20:36] alternatively, what are the googleable keywords for these? [20:36] morri: you should probably ask in banshee's support channel [20:36] bitplane: Clever. Let's see if I can get it to work.. [20:36] there isnt any in gnome any idea where to find it? [20:36] Hi all, I have a big question! :D, Is it possible to re-install an OS from within the OS? I have a Ubuntu LTS VPS server, it has plesk -.- , I want to re-install the OS but they dont provide the fecility for different OS's [20:37] j #mariner [20:37] is there anybody out there? [20:37] not any on freenode either as it looks [20:38] trying a reboot. see you later. =) [20:38] SDr, putty has a tool to convert [20:38] SDr, shipped with it [20:38] puttygen, thanks [20:39] SDr, and its not compatible with those, those are x509 keys, for https/tls [20:39] you need a ssh key [20:39] morri, Banshee's support is on gimpnet I think [20:39] well, it could be compatible, but it wont be installed right [20:39] they don't have banshee on their either [20:39] there* [20:40] hmm no official irc channel listed on their site [20:40] gh [20:40] daten: If your hosting company doesn't allow it, it's not possible. Why would you need to re-install? If you're having an issue with particular packages you can always do a complete uninstall of those packages (which removes even the config files) and reinstall them [20:40] c3sso: ; bash did exactly what I wanted, thanks! [20:40] bitmonk, try #mono [20:40] oh well, I always preferred Rhythmbox anyway, glad it's coming back in 12.04 [20:40] yeah, rhythmbox is way better [20:40] and mono is a POS [20:40] scientes: think you tab completed the wrong name. ;) [20:41] ah! #banshee on irc.gnome.org [20:41] bitmonk, no banshee is written on mono [20:41] just, i haven't spoken in here for .. weeks? [20:41] scientes: Mono is great, it brings C# to Linux. [20:41] SharkMuttleworth, Un-installing Plesk is like removing the sysems legs lol, Its nastily involved in everything [20:41] Rhythmbox cannot even repeat a single song [20:41] scientes: right. i don't understand my place in this conversation. [20:41] you're looking for bitplane methinks. [20:41] kthx. [20:41] JacobVengeance: why on earth would you want to repeat a song over and over? it ruins em! [20:42] bitmonk, oh geeze, your names are almost the same [20:42] hello everyone [20:42] nope, mine is awesomer. ;) [20:42] I like to listen to songs a couple times every now and then. It doesn't ruin them for me. [20:42] * bitmonk ducks [20:42] :P [20:42] me neither [20:42] personally i prefer xmms 1.0.3 [20:42] I used to listen to songs a whole night and day lol [20:42] nice to -20 on a p166 mmx [20:42] SharkMuttleworth, thanks. Why is it there? Is that the new standard location for configs? [20:42] Its all about opinion anyway. I prefer Banshee for features and Rhythmbox for speed. [20:43] hi back [20:43] i like the way i had banshee set up.. [20:44] duncan-nz: No bloody idea. Probably a freedesktop.org iniative I imagine. Makes more sense than putting config in a gnome2 directory, as you could have f-spot but not gnome installed [20:44] damn can't find any way to `reinstall` ubuntu [20:44] SharkMuttleworth, how did you find out where the config file was? [20:44] Use USB/CD and replace previous install? [20:46] So a new question. I have an ubuntu machine that is just showing slideshows using pygame, so it pretty much only needs to start up x, connect to a wireless network and run the slideshow. Is there a relatively easy way to see what background processes will be started with ubuntu, and remove/disable those who are not needed for the above? [20:46] ok, Maybe I will re-phrase my question, Anyone ever removed plesk from a Ubuntu LTS :D [20:46] does anybody know a _good_ tutorial for how to setup up IPSec + L2TP (including explinations etc.) [20:46] SharkMuttleworth, got to go. Thanks for the help. [20:46] duncan-nz: grep fspot ~/ -r [20:47] Anyone here use xfce or xfwm? [20:47] i dont [20:47] xubuntu uses it dont they? [20:47] Jacob: I do, but I might not be much help. [20:48] morri: yes# [20:48] JacobVengeance: just ask the actual question [20:48] It wasn't a support question, just curious if anyone else uses it. :p [20:49] i actually use lubuntu, ... [20:49] I use xUbuntu. I was wondering if there is a way to make short-term backup files (e.g. file1~) hidden? [20:50] ok i have a few ip cameras set up but i dont like the cams webserver so.. is there any programs on ubuntu that i can use to view all cameras and transmit audio in both directions [20:50] Put a . in front of it hides it from Thunar. [20:51] I know that. I want it to be automatic. [20:51] would like* [20:52] What do you use to make your backups? [20:52] Riba1122: couldm't you just sort them into a folder then they'd be out of the way [20:52] IDK, it's automatic. The appear when I edit files. [20:53] Riball22 if u want to hide folders from people why not use permissions on the folder so noone but you can look into it [20:53] Riba1122: wut? but they'll be gone once you save and quit the application using them [20:54] having trouble finding a good program to publsih things with...any ideas? [20:54] *publish [20:55] aeon-ltd: The files stay, they arn't removed after closing. [20:55] NimeshNeema, hello [20:55] They shouldn't in most cases.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:57] james-ubc: i'll need to check but i think it might be 'mate' not gnomeshell [20:57] thanks! [20:58] Well, thanks guys.

[21:06] lake: no [21:06] For me it is either 1) all yellowish-pink -> blue (everyone's a smurf) or 2) jittery playback [21:07] Shirakawasuna, right-click and disable hardware acceleration [21:07] jaequery, I think there is ppas for kernel backports from 11.10 [21:07] install the previous flash [21:07] bastidrazor: thank you kindly [21:07] you can get the link at the thread at ubuntu forums [21:08] but whats the difference? [21:08] dlentz: did that, still broken. Now it runs at ~half speed [21:09] jaequery, I am not sure. I just know I would rather use a backport on my system if I was still back on lucid [21:10] lake, if in doubt, why not use it? [21:11] dlentz: update is only downloading packages and has no interaction. [21:12] bastidrazor, that's what i thought, but if iwasn't sure, i would use -y (it's not going to make the command fail) === paige is now known as erratic [21:14] hi everybody [21:14] how r u [21:14] hi chuck_ [21:14] this distribution is very cool [21:14] hi everyone [21:15] hi [21:15] i have problem with firefox it exit alone [21:16] * Phoenix87 byee [21:23] a wall of quitters [21:24] morri: to them, you are the quitter [21:24] meditate [21:25] I should quit too [21:29] Anyone use Gnome-DO? I notice that when I pull up dbvisualizer with it, it takes a long time vs me just running the shortcut off the desktop [21:30] Praxi: if you want a fast and light launchet better try Synapse [21:32] chuck_, whats? [21:34] xangua is synapse better than gnome-do for some reason? [21:34] is it possible to use your webcam on both machines host/and guest? [21:34] my computer keep shutting off itself from time to time. Says like when u use the shutdown cmd in all terminals Description: (unknown). Anyone know why this might happen? Or how to figure out... [21:35] Praxi: i thin i said it......light, fast and still in development, no idea what are you looking for [21:36] Mofasa, make sure it's not overheating [21:36] dlentz: even if it were, would it just do it like that? [21:37] I know my laptop got a tendency to become warm. [21:37] yeah, if a system gets hot enough, it will automatically shutdown to prevent damag [21:37] trying to install a package but it complains libavcodec52 is needed but when i use cli to try install that package its non existent [21:37] hey i get speed: unknown when i do "sudo dmidecode --type 17" [21:38] dragonkeeper, what package and was it made for your version of ubuntu? [21:39] Ok took it out of the bed now at least :P we'll see if it continues anyway [21:39] dlentz hmm gonna double check [21:39] dragonkeeper: It would seem that libavcodec52 is only packaged for the lucid series. [21:40] What version of ubuntu are you running? [21:40] oh seems i clicked natty . im on 12.04 [21:40] dragonkeeper: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin [21:40] ok [21:45] dlentz: u have any idea why my laptop gets so warm? By just running the OS the cpu lies at around 70c, i've checked for dust etc [21:45] nothing... [21:45] clean the fan [21:46] Mofasa: check the speed its running at - there are files in /sys you can read to find out [21:47] Mofasa: run "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor" [21:47] on demand [21:47] Mofasa, might also check the bios to make sure speed step isn't disabled [21:47] thats the right one [21:47] assuming its intel [21:47] yup Praxi [21:48] mofasa, what kind of laptop? [21:48] whats the usual load on the machine? [21:48] T60 [21:48] around what its now. which is...

[21:49] do 'echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor [21:49] did someone try Midori?

[22:13] qubit[0|1]: ? [22:13] d-bugger, ! [22:13] sorry verifiying that, one second [22:13] Mofasa: When you say access denied, do you mean when you run su, or when you try and configure acpi? [22:14] d-bugger, you're totally right sorry [22:17] but you can always run "sudo su" or "sudo -i" to access a root shell [22:18] if your user is in admin or wheel group [22:18] (usually) [22:20] qubit[0|1]: relax, dude, no formalities :) === milind is now known as abyss42 [22:25] I want to change to 64 bit but can only find amd64. I have an intel chip. what should i download? === hybrid_ is now known as hybrid [22:25] amd64 is fine Scott_Z [22:25] Scott_Z: the name is misleading - its cause AMD created the 64-bit spec [22:26] is there any advantage to downloading the server addition over the desktop? [22:26] if you remember, intel's 64 bit was called Itanium, which failed [22:26] Scott_Z: faster bootup, lower hardware requirements [22:26] keep in mind that ubuntu server does not include the GUI [22:28] why is there still thunderbird 3.1 in natty - is it safe to stay on this version? [22:28] ahhh ok thanks I will stick with the desktop. This will be a first for me. I have spent several weeks tweeking the 32bit version. is there any way to list all the packages and libs and such that I have already installed so that I can easily get them all again? [22:28] using the GUI? In Synaptic [22:28] madm1ke: there is a thunderbird PPA [22:29] it has a 'status' which shows only the installed ones [22:30] but that does not show some of the lib-devs and such. is there something like apt-get or apt-cache or something that will list everything that i can redirect to a file? [22:30] xangua: i'm trying to avoid ppa and tird party respos [22:30] Scott_Z: you can do "dpkg -l >> ~/mypackages.txt" to make a list of installed packages [22:32] madm1ke: you can grab the archive of the new version and copy it to /opt then symlink the binary into /usr/bin you will then need to manually make a .desktop in /usr/share/icons to run the command [22:32] Scott_Z: I believe there's a utility called apt-clone too.

Version 0.2 (oneiric), package size 8 kB, installed size 108 kB [22:32] !clone [22:32] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [22:32] ActionParsnip: well i still need security updates... [22:33] madm1ke: its one way to do it, the PPA is far more graceful [22:33] madm1ke: plus, when the PPA gets updated, your system will update too [22:34] ActionParsnip: okay, point taken. still, do you know why there still is 3.1 in natty and if i can rely on this versions' security updates? [22:34] what is giving me the notifications in my XFCE system tray if it's not xfce4-notifyd (which isn't installed) [22:35] madm1ke: the PPA will be fine.

[22:53] A) don't msg people and B) you're wrong, lol [22:53] ubunt: does it need root access and does it need the desktop to be running? [22:53] it's not tedious, it's the truth, sometimes the truth hurts :P [22:54] why tf would you answer me outside the channel?

But not all youtube videos support HTML5, which is a shame. [22:56] d-bugger, I told ya ;p [22:57] ubunt: reference it in /etc/rc.local above the exit 0 line, it will run as root and set the rule, be sure the file is executable. the file extension doesn't mean anything [22:57] Tynach: any chance its a codec issue? The codec ought to be a part of flash [22:57] Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 02 - network card ...have installed b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-installer...... but cannot get the wireless to work [22:57] i have no idea how to reinstall flash, but thats the action id take [22:57] ActionParsnip, already done with /etc/init.d + update-rc.d filename defaults :) i'll try in 5 minutes eheh [22:58] d-bugger, it used to work fine. And the video otherwise plays fine. Also, if I turn off hardware acceleration, it plays fine... But a bit choppy if I make it fullscreen. [22:58] I'm a fairly advanced user, I know Bash scripting, I'm into C/C++ programming, and I have no clue what's causing this problem. I've tried deleting all flash related stuff in my .config and .local folders (that I could find), to no avail. I've not yet tried making an empty user (or using Guest). [22:58] Are there any special preparations that need doing if you want to install Linux on one HD and leave Windows alone on another HD? [22:59] Tynach: did you say that turning off acceleration fixes the problem? [22:59] d-bugger, I already tried re-installing flash ;p [22:59] what do you call that launch bar on the left hand side of 11.10? [22:59] how do i install java? [22:59] d-bugger, yes, it does fix the problem. But causes a host of other problems, particularly when concerned with performance. [22:59] Tynach: how many colors are you running at? [23:00] d-bugger, what do you mean? bpp? 24.

He should use the repositories. [23:00] ga_sk8er: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html [23:00] ActionParsnip: I can get to the gnome gui via vnc but have no "launchbar" - I can however right click === jsjgruber-x-p-a is now known as jsjgruber-x-p [23:00] ActionParsnip: is there a sneaky way to show my programs [23:00] Tynach: no idea if the respositories are upto date [23:00] so I can launch teamviewer? [23:01] Wow I thought ActionParsnip was a bot. [23:01] Al_nz1: why are you connecting to the remote system? [23:01] Tynach: any video card diagnostics available? [23:01] Sonic132: no, i just launch a web browser, go to duckduckgo and search and I find guides. [23:01] ActionParsnip: well to run firefox [23:01] ActionParsnip: and a few other gui things [23:01] Sonic132: sometimes seems I'm the only one with this ability [23:01] d-bugger, openjdk-7 is in the repos. [23:02] Al_nz1: you can run firefox via SSH with x forwarding, as well as the other apps [23:02] ActionParsnip: how do I start firefox in ssh show it shows on the vnc session? [23:02] ActionParsnip, I see. Any special directions for installing Linux alongside Win7 on a different HDD than Win7? [23:02] d-bugger, I have an nVidia GeForce 9800 GT, and am using driver version 295.20. [23:03] Tynach: sory, bro, ran out of ideas [23:04] hope someone else here knows better [23:04] * trench yawns [23:04] d-bugger, I'm going to try using it as Guest. If the problem goes away, it's a config issue. If it does not, then I'm going to try reverting to the 'recommended' version of my graphics driver (I'm currently running newest possible). [23:05] Al_nz1: just connect with: ssh -X username@servername then run: firefox and it will show on the desktop [23:05] ActionParsnip, that will run Firefox visually on their own desktop, not on the remote VNC desktop. [23:05] Tynach: that seems to be the right thing to do. All the best [23:05] Tynach: yes. Why does it need to run in the remote desktop? [23:05] Which I think is what they meant (like starting programs 'magically'). [23:05] Tynach: firefox -P -no-remote [23:06] ActionParsnip, he said "how do I start firefox in ssh show it shows on the vnc session?" Note he wanted it to show on the VNC session. [23:06] Sonic132: just tell the installer to use the other drive, if you unpartition it first it makes life a lot easier. [23:06] Tynach: I', using 295.33 on my Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT [23:06] Thanks anyway d-bugger. Hope I can get this :) [23:07] spacebug-, how'd you get that? [23:07] hey all [23:08] That's what I thought ActionParsnip. Thanks. [23:08] ubuntu will not shutdown, only log out [23:08] even after press shutdown [23:08] why only log out? WHY ? [23:08] Head, which Ubuntu version are you using? [23:08] 11.10 [23:08] Head, press Ctrl+Alt+F5, and log in. Notice when you put your password in, it will not show little dots or anything - you just have to trust that it is being entered. [23:08] How long does a partition resize operation take? I want to know if I should just leave this thing running or if it's crashed. [23:08] After that, Head, type this command: sudo shutdown -h now [23:09] Head, are you able to shut the system down from a console or terminal? [23:09] Head: if you run: sudo shutdown -h now does it turn off? [23:09] ah, never mind, been dealt with [23:09] Tynach: let me check [23:09] BarkingFish: through console [23:09] press the windows button, and find shutdown in search [23:09] used to shutdown pc [23:10] now only logs out [23:10] Have you updated anything since this last worked? [23:10] oh sorry Tynach, I'm on 12.04 :/ [23:10] Ah, spacebug-, that explains it. I'm on 11.10 still. Plan on moving to 12.04 during this summer :) [23:10] ;) [23:10] spacebug-: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin support [23:11] xangua: I know, I'm there and I'm not seeking support I was trying to help Tynach but I forgot I was currently in this channel === erundook is now known as x1am [23:12] Head, (sorry, I keep forgetting to address people in here!) - have you updated any of your software (kernel, etc) since this last worked for you? [23:14] sup I´m back [23:14] what is ctrl+alt_f5? [23:14] Ok spacebug- and d-bugger, I've tried it in the guest account. Same issue. [23:14] it turned my screen black [23:15] Head, Ctrl+Alt+F5 turns you to a terminal. You can use Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the user interface. Linux lets you to go multiple terminals (without interface) by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F(number). [23:15] Traditionally, they are 1 - 6, with 7 and up being X sessions. [23:16] However, you should see a login prompt on them - which you can use to type your username and password. It's the same as opening a command line window I guess, but if you log out and then go to one, it's a lot more minimal and should shut down faster than if you're running in a GUI. [23:16] hmm its a little disturbing [23:17] but why doesnt shutdown work anymore through console? [23:17] any reason ? [23:17] Head, (sorry, I keep forgetting to address people in here!) - have you updated any of your software (kernel, etc) since this last worked for you? [23:17] and logs me out instead? [23:17] So yeah, I suppose it'd be easier (more friendly?) to open a terminal (press windows key, type 'terminal'). [23:17] I just asked you about that just as you got reset, Head :) [23:17] Head, when you say Console, what do you mean? The 'windows key' thing is not a console. [23:17] BF: I think I did [23:18] anyway to retrace? [23:18] do you know what you updated? [23:18] or return back to original settings? [23:18] not sure.. [23:18] can I restore somehow ? [23:18] ActionParsnip: I need teamviwer to run in remote desktop so I can make it accept connections [23:18] it doesnt seem to at the moment [23:18] I don't know, maybe someone here can sort that for you, Head - sorry [23:18] Tynach, I press the windows button indeed [23:18] and type shutdown there [23:19] and click the shutdown button [23:19] and then get logged out instead [23:19] Head, that's not how you shutdown the computer. That doesn't even work on my end either. === irdxafk is now known as irdx [23:19] @Tynach Through terminal only then ? [23:19] Head, are you using Unity? [23:20] Tynach, what is unity? [23:20] the gui interface?? [23:20] Head, it is the default user interface for Ubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 11.10. [23:20] Al_nz1, so you want to RDP to a computer, then run teamviewer from the computer you just remoted to? [23:20] It has one bar at the top, and a thicker bar on the left side. Is that what you have? [23:20] Praxi: for 1 teamviewer is faster [23:20] Tynach, i believe I am [23:20] Ok. [23:21] Praxi 2: vnc is broken - I cant see the desktop properly [23:21] Al_nz1, no, I'm trying to make sure I understand what you want, you want to vnc to a computer, then from that computer you want to teamviewer to a 3rd computer? [23:21] Head, try clicking at the little 'gear' icon on the top right corner of your screen. The bottom option (if not, then some option) should say "Shut Down..." === Mindwalk is now known as Lipeolive [23:21] Click on that, and it will give you 3 options: Shut down, Restart, or Cancel. [23:21] Praxi: no - all same computer [23:21] Click on 'Shut Down' or 'Restart'. [23:22] yeh, when I click that, it only logs me out [23:22] Ok. Then we'll try something new. [23:22] Praxi: so far I can vnc in, but cant get the gnome taskbar that allows you to launch applciations [23:22] Tynach, how do I address a message to you in color red? [23:23] Is there a way to see whether my partition resize operation is actually ongoing or if it's just crashed? [23:23] Head, that's something it does automatically when someone says your name. Every time you say my name, it shows it in red for me. [23:23] Al_nz1, were bouncing all over! :) teamviewer just runs under wine, so pretty simple. Make sure you got the right one for your OS (x64 vs x86) [23:23] Thank you Tynach [23:23] usdjpy [23:24] join #usdjpy [23:24] Head, hit the Windows key, and type in 'terminal'. Open the terminal, it should be a dark purple background window with something like "user@computername:~$ ". I want you to type, without quotes: "sudo shutdown -h now". Copy and paste it if you want. [23:24] Praxi: whats simple? I cant start teamviewer, because I have no access to the icon to start it [23:24] full screen your VNC window [23:24] It will ask you for your password. Type it in. The password will not show on the screen, and it will look like nothing is happening... But type it anyway, and then hit 'Enter'. [23:24] I'm having the same shutdown issue as Head, I can shut down from the terminal [23:24] Praxi: done [23:24] Al_nz1, or open a terminal by hitting "CTRL ALT T" and type teamviewer7 [23:25] Anyone else use boxee? [23:25] @bhermz annoying innit? [23:25] bhermz, have you changed display managers? Like using KDM instead of GDM or LightDM? [23:25] Praxi: how do you send "CTRL-ALT-T" over VNC? [23:25] Tynach I know this command [23:25] Tynach, it works Iḿ sure of that [23:26] Tynach ;) [23:26] Nope, I've been using LightDM (no change). I hit shutdown from the desktop and it logs me out. I try shutting down then from LightDM and it doesn't do anything [23:26] Disregard last question. Operation finally completed. [23:26] Al_nz1, thats dependant on your VNC client, I suggest you try Remmina, it has a easy mode button at top for sending keys [23:27] Al_nz1, are you useing VNC from another linux box? [23:27] Praxi: no windows [23:27] bhermz, have you installed any server software lately? [23:27] what VNC client are you using Al_nz1 [23:27] actually yes, tomcat. That may be related? [23:28] bhermz, I have no idea. I'm pulling at straws here. But it might be worth checking out - did you install from the repositories, or some other way? [23:28] got ultravnc and realvnc [23:28] What's the recommended swap size again? Given that we have about 4GB of RAM? [23:28] Or do I even need a swap partition? [23:29] the repositories. And, come to think of it, I haven't tried shutting it down when logging out. [23:29] Sonic132: do you need hibernate? [23:29] Al_nz1, http://www.uvnc.com/install/usage.html <--"Send Custom Key" [23:29] Sonic132: standard swap is same size as RAM [23:29] Sonic132, a lot of people recommend twice as much SWAP as your RAM amount. But I personally don't do that, I just do equal or half. [23:30] I'll try that and let you know if it works.. thanks for the suggestion Tynach [23:30] ActionParsnip, Sleep would be nice. But not necessary. But Hibernate? No. I don't see us ever using that. Would it still allow Windows style 'Switch User' functionality? [23:30] Hi! A friend of mine lost the wireless support when she tried updating her Ubuntu 11.10 system lately. I've detailed in a mail (she's travelling) what I would check. 1) ubuntu-desktop metapackage is installed. 2) linux-firmware package is installed 3) iwconfig shows a wlan0 entry [23:30] Sonic132: olden days swap was twice ram [23:30] Al_nz1, When SCROLL-LOCK is activated, all key combinations (except CTRL+ALT+DEL) are directly sent to the remote computer: [23:30] any other ideas? [23:30] Sonic132: if you need Hibernate I'd use 4.25Gb for swap, if not then don't bother [23:30] Apteryx: what wireless chip? [23:30] GB=Gib? [23:30] by the way I first told her to install all the latest updates using an Ethernet cable, which she did, but it didn't solve her issues. [23:31] Praxi: your a LEGEND! [23:31] Sonic132, GiB means that it uses numbers like 1024, and GB means it uses numbers like 1000. [23:31] Also, thanks for all the helpful responses on that one. [23:31] I got teamviewer running [23:31] Tynach, I see. [23:31] Sonic132, I'd say if you don't want hibernate, just use 2 or 3 GB. That's my personal preference - as I have small hard drives, and every GB counts. [23:31] ActionParsnip: I don't know yet. After my step 3 I tell her to check using "lspci" and then issue a search on google to find the corresponding linux kernel module... and once she got that she can verify the module is loaded using "lsmod" [23:31] Sonic132: other than for hibernation, linux works fine without any swap too [23:32] ActionParsnip: I'll mail this to her and she will get back to me with the results [23:33] ActionParsnip: Does my guidance seem alright or is it missing something important. She lost the wireless icon and says it's not configurable (not present) in the system settings either, which made me believe it was a linux driver issue. [23:33] I thought so. I installed Linux before without swap and was pleasantly surprised that it seemed to work fine. [23:33] nice Al_nz1 [23:33] Apteryx: sudo lshw -C network will tell you a lot [23:34] Praxi: dissapointly even teamvieer is not rendering gnome well [23:34] Is the resolution too small Al_nz1? [23:34] Praxi: team viewer scales [23:34] Al_nz1, if your running headless (without a monitor) it defaults the resolution to some default minimum [23:35] ActionParsnip: but will she get output if the driver module isn't loaded? [23:35] Al_nz1, are you running headless? [23:35] ubuntu one for precise pangolin won't have contacts sync? [23:35] Al_nz1, you may want to disable compiz/desktop effects when you use VNC or TeamViewer. So, go to Unity 2D or Gnome Classic. [23:35] ActionParsnip: I was under the impression that no, that's why I used the "lspci" command instead. [23:35] to troubleshoot [23:36] Tynach: can I change that globally via CLI? [23:36] Al_nz1, I have no idea. [23:36] Unity vs GNOME 3? [23:36] mouth1: unity is a shell for gnome3, so the question is nonsensical [23:36] oh sorry [23:36] gnome shell vs unity, ftfy [23:36] Unity vs GNOME Shell? [23:36] :) [23:36] mouth1: polls are offtopic here, this is suppor [23:36] *support [23:37] oops [23:37] sorry === joana is now known as Aeriel [23:38] hi, anyone is having trouble with ssh connections? [23:38] Tynach: you any good with iptables? [23:38] i've set up my client(ubuntu) to use protocol 2 [23:39] and my server too (arch) [23:39] will be there contacts sync in Ubuntu One for 12.04 LTS? === diegovieiraeti is now known as diego [23:39] but it cant recognize the password [23:39] i think is something about the protocol === diego is now known as diegovieiraeti [23:40] oh, and it doesnt recognize my server ecdsa fingerprint [23:40] it treats it as RSA [23:41] anyone had this problem? === diegovieiraeti is now known as diegovieira [23:43] Anyone else have the issue during the install 'wizard' where it freezes up for 5 minutes at a time between pages? [23:44] Al_nz1, sorry for being away. I have experience with IPtables, but I would HIGHLY recommend you instead use ufw. It's command-line based, and much easier to understand/setup. [23:44] Bootloader has to be on the same HDD as Windows when Dualbooting correct? [23:45] Sonic132: not, does not have to be. [23:45] Al_nz1, https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/firewall.html [23:45] Tynach: ok for a PM? [23:45] i7c, So I can install it to any partition? [23:45] Al_nz1, I'm fine with PMs :) [23:46] Sonic132: mhm i have grub on sda together with linux mint and win7 on sdb.... it works. can't swear for you tho [23:46] anyone is experiencing problems with ssh connections??? [23:46] Sonic132, I believe it 'installs' it to /boot within your root partition, but installs the necessary actual boot stuff to the MBR - which isn't any particular partition at all. [23:47] Tynach, Oh ok. That sounds right. Also, was thinking of installing to the same partition as linux. [23:47] Sonic132, well, /boot will be in your Linux partition, naturally ;) [23:47] i've set up my client(ubuntu) to use protocol 2 [23:48] and it doesnt recognize my server ecdsa fingerprint [23:48] Sonic132: are those sata hds? [23:48] treats it like RSA [23:48] i've searched everything [23:48] i7c, I believe so. It's my Dads computer ;) [23:48] and nothing helped [23:48] i7c, Oh yeah. It's all SATA I think. [23:48] Sonic132: i'm not sure about that, but for me it worked to simply set the boot order that way, that grub is on the first one... [23:49] i7c, Well at Tynach was saying. It's installed on the MBR so it's not technically on a partion. So the boot order shouldn't matter correct? [23:50] Sonic132, only one partition can even be marked as 'bootable'. With Grub, I've found that it largely doesn't matter which partition that is. There's no such thing as a 'boot order', except to list what order OSes appear in the Grub menu. [23:50] Sonic132: mhm i always thought MBR is the beginning of a HD... so it's not on a partition but definitely on one or the other HD ;) [23:50] I' [23:51] Sonic132: oh now i get it. you only have one physical HD... [23:51] I'm a bit confused now. [23:51] i7c, No we have two physical HDs and several external. [23:52] Sonic132, you should install GRUB to the hard drive that has Linux on it. Hard drives and partitions are VERY different beasts. [23:52] i7c, I want to install Linux on one HDD and Windows can have one all by itself. [23:52] Sonic132: okay i get it now. then it should work just like Tynach said right now :) [23:53] So sdb instead of sdb1 correct? [23:53] Sonic132: yeh. [23:55] any with Magento experience? [23:56] djjonex, If you just ask your question, rather than asking for people who know about something specific, you might get on a bit faster :) [23:56] Where can i find the directory for my USB ports? [23:57] need to figure out how to make urls rewrite on localhost [23:57] Sonic132, if sdb is the Linux drive, then yes, install it there. If sda is the Linux drive, install Grub there. Sorry for the wait. [23:58] Tynach, It's all good. I'm fairly confident now that it will install Linux properly ;) [23:58] I get an awe snap from chromium but not firefox on this link http://www.tvkim.com/watch/1731/kims-picks-drone-helicopters-in-formation?utm_medium=nl&utm_source=notd&utm_content=2012-04-10-article&utm_campaign=end-f [23:58] It's running. [23:58] Sonic132, awesome :) I have a bit of weird experience with installs... My own install required I use the alternative installer CD, because I use LVM. [23:59] Sonic132: yay :) [23:59] I have a bunch of smaller hard drives that I have all LVM'd together to make one giant blob of one. This is one reason why I can't wait for Btrfs to become the norm - won't have to do this anymore :) [23:59] chromium needs something but what?
