[00:34] i think it's dist-upgrade or something, but yeah it's a simple command but it takes quite some time i've heard [00:35] harold no, you need dist-upgrade [00:35] so, "apt-get dist-upgrade" and that's it? [00:36] harold fresh install is faster, but first backup your installed programs [00:36] what's the likelihood of it being a really seamless transition that doesn't break anything? this is on a server machine that's pretty slim and has just an instance of wordpress being served with apache and that's it [00:36] harold or backup all if you do not have a separate /home partition [00:38] harold, try asking in #ubuntu+1 - more people there have tried [00:38] MonkeyDust: i'm Terre. http://pastebin.com/MmZ54wXE [00:39] from /etc/network/interfaces [00:39] I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 and I am trying to update it, but the sources list don't work [00:41] sleek yeah, i guess dhcp needs to be there somewhere, lemme llok it up [00:41] marcm: did you check the source lists? are they set correctly?

[00:53] i7c figured it out. networking isn't confugured right... damn you xen!

[03:49] l1nr007: yeah its a tool that lets you have multiple terminals open at once, lets you disconnect from a shell (and reconnect to it later), that sort of thing. GNU screen is one, others are dtach, tmux, etc [03:49] les, like the CTRL+ALT+F# ? [03:50] curiousx: Okay... cool, I will have to run that every time I boot though... I will have to figure out how to make a bash script that does it automatically every time I boot. [03:50] les, I wonder is there a tool to lock a session without logging-out or changing the tty? [03:50] trism: I think i worked [03:51] linuxuz3r: not really. these would be something that would let you have multiple ttys up on a single tty at once. that's why they're called multiplexers [03:51] l1nr007: yeah, these can do that [03:51] derp: you can blacklist the wifi's module [03:51] trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/928926/ [03:52] curiousx: Yeah, I am pretty sure that is what I want to do... I just cannot remember how. [03:52] I'm trying to create a unity scope, but I'm having trouble with it opening what I believe to be the incorrect application.

If I change it to "/usr/bin/totem URI" it still opens fine, but that obvioiusly isn't a solution [03:53] darbe: if you try: sudo apt-get purge samba4; does it try to remove alot of packages?

Let's also say /media/storage (with the 100 pictures) resides on the root/primary drive. Now, what happens to those 100 pictures if I set up /etc/fstab to mount "Drive B" as /media/storage? Where do those pictures go when Drive B is suddenly occupying /media/storage? [04:16] roasted: you'll get an error saying the mount point is not an empty directory or somesuch [04:16] wylde: does the system halt from mounting that device then? [04:17] Ubuntu 12.04 April 26th... what timezone is it released? American? cuz then in AUS it will be out 27th.. [04:17] roasted: yeah it won't mount the drive at all if that mount point has files in it. [04:17] wylde: I see. I wasn't aware of that. [04:18] Hi, I need a channel for general linux programming questions. [04:18] wylde: what's strange is, I set up Ubuntu on my SSD, and later switched my home directory to mount my 1TB drive. [04:18] wylde: granted, I didn't have any data in my home dir on the SSD, but I still had the default folders. [04:18] roasted: I believe using some or maybe all the FUSE filesystems support mounting a non-empty directory. But, I've never tried. [04:18] wylde: I would think the folders, albeit empty, would still flag it and error out if that was the case. [04:18] which programming langage? [04:18] C++ [04:19] ok [04:19] roasted: you could try it, but I suspect it won't mount. [04:20] I'm trying to move 2TB of data using rsync but nohup isn't working. When my session dies the process stops. nohup rysnc -ar /disk /disk2 what am I missing?

[04:24] CAZ_au: the release time is typically not known prior to release [04:27] arooni-mobile: your guest OS will have a different ip than the host.

[04:53] meet: just reformat the ubuntu partition from windows, make sure you set grub to default to windows or us the windows rescue disk to replace grub [04:53] ficarra: there is a program called plop that can enable old computer to boot from usb [04:54] ficarra: plop will also enable booting from pxe (lan boot) [04:54] sacarlson Thanks, I'll look it up. [04:55] Hi. I've got an issue where when I plug my android into the computer Ubuntu 11.04 doesn't recognize it as a drive. USB Mass Storage is on on the phone.

What am I looking for? [05:00] tallboy_2: unplug the device, wait - type "dmesg" -- plug device in, wait -- type "dmesg" (is there any change?) [05:00] K.. I'll try that. [05:01] tallboy_2: something like "dmesg | tail -n 15" might help also [05:04] So I am trying to figure out what flavor of linux a VPS has, so I tried this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=mRZJkrb0 I'm pretty sure it is ubuntu, but why does RedHat pop up for the first command?

How can I change my fonts on gnome-term? [06:29] chocimir: btw, just out of curioisity, what made you think it were my nvidia drivers? [06:29] you suggested that pretty quickly, - do you yourself have have similar issues? [06:29] 23 is the most mystical number of all. 2/3 = .666 which is the number of Satan. The date of Titanics sinking adds up to 23. Qwerty keyboards are in use instead of dvorak keyboards because they give w a perfect spot next to 2 and 3. Research has proven that dvorak keyboards are less muscle intensive. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. Is 23 the enigma? Become an enigmatist today. [06:30] well I'm sold [06:31] leeap: tweak your default gnome-terminal settings [06:32] scar3crow: yep, thatś what I want to do, the question is how would I do that? [06:32] what conf file, for example, would I have to edit? [06:34] leeap: open terminal -->Edit-->Profiles [06:34] Hmmm [06:34] So, fun stuff.. [06:34] Hi,all. what tools can i use to test memory performance under ubuntu 11.10 ? [06:35] I have dd'd all my LVM volumes housing my /boot and / filesystems, resize2fs'd them to fit the miniscule growth difference, from a platter HDD to an SSD drive, and I'm trying to get grub to use the new stuff for the bootup, but so far, it's not. [06:39] what adobe flash player + OS are u using? is everything ok with it? === liberal is now known as CIS [06:41] harold: yes I had smth like that, I removed compiz then. === CIS is now known as liberal [06:45] how to upgrade to 04.12, this option used to be in update-manager. But I checked inform about new upgardes everytime and nothing has happend [06:45] how to configuree conky [06:46] chocimir: 12.04 you mean? [06:46] Psi-Jack: sure. [06:46] chocimir: 12.04 isn't out yet. [06:46] it will b out on 26 april [06:46] chocimir: I believe they have #ubuntu+1 for that, until it's official release, which is later this month. [06:47] hay [06:47] chocimir: sorry, noob question - what is compiz? Is it the window manager itself? Iḿ intrigued in hearing you say that you completely removed it... what functionality exactly was lost when you removed it? [06:48] Interesting. [06:48] So, update-grub2 seems to find Windows on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, but not /dev/sdc1 (the SSD drive). [06:48] Psi-Jack: ok, thnx someone told me that it is available already. I have some issue with flash player, I think upgrade can help. [06:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 root1 [06:49] And, well, yes.. Windows is on /dev/sda2, /dev/sda1 is actually the system-reserved partition itself. [06:49] harold: It was few years ago. It is some add-on windows manager it gives you some "nice" affect, like rotating in 3D when you change desktop etc. I dont need it anymore. [06:51] chocimir: does ubuntu come by default with that on? I don't care normally for such eye candy, so I'd definitely like to get rid of it [06:52] harold: rather it is not default. [06:52] chocimir: pretty sure it isnt. [06:52] kk installed conky so ...now howto improve it's look [06:52] harold: Ubuntu uses compiz for compositing using Unity but all the gaudy stuff isn't on. It's tasteful these days [06:52] chocimir: It's beta currently. [06:52] harold: there is always good ol' gnome claSSIC [06:52] gaudy stuff is available for those who want it [06:53] harold: I even dont have unity. I am using gnome-classic. [06:53] chocimir: And yes, #ubuntu+1 is the channel for new coming releases. [06:54] btw, with what command can I find out the temperatures on term? itś running hot, I'd like to know exactly how hot :) [06:54] harold: If you setup sensors, sensors. [06:54] harold: 'sensors' but you'll need lm-sensors installed [06:55] /j #ltsp [06:55] ffs [06:55] sry :( [06:55] There's a way to probe ACPI for it too, but I don't know how Linux does that, at this time. [06:55] Psi-Jack: have you had some problems with flash since last update adobe-flashplayer? [06:55] chocimir: #ubuntu+1 is your channel for beta releases. [06:56] Please see yourself there for support for future releases. [06:56] ishan [06:57] Psi-Jack: I mean update adobe flash to 11.202. not ubuntu upgrade. I have oneric now. [06:57] chocimir: No such version of Ubuntu, 11.202 [06:58] it is version of adobe flash player [06:58] just to be clear, https://pastee.org/98hgt [06:58] thatś pretty hot, right? Like, hot enough to be seriously concerned [06:58] chocimir: Please paste output of 'lsb_release -r' to channel. [06:59] Release: 11.10 [06:59] Alrighty, So why aren't you installing the adobe flash package itself? [07:00] I have done it using apt-get [07:00] harold: that does't look too bad. if you're concerned see if something is eating cpu cycles [07:01] les: I should also mention that i just only a few hours ago installed ubuntu, this is a pretty fresh install still (have only installed google chrome and irssi) === phantasmoholic is now known as phantasmoholic_ [07:05] what do you guys think about the alt-tab interface being able to be navigated by mouse as well as keyboard, would that be possible, is there interest in that feature?

[07:34] free123, gime a sencond to configure it [07:34] DropsOfSerenity : check compiz pluge-ins [07:34] Fractal_ : ok [07:34] DropsOfSerenity: using the mouse on the alt-tab-window is called "task bar" [07:35] iceroot, no like how it is on mac osx [07:35] DropsOfSerenity: luckily i never saw osx, so i dont know how it is handled there [07:35] free123, are you saying this exists? [07:36] free123: ya lo tengo [07:36] Fractal_ I think is possible [07:36] iceroot, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHY2PEcOh20 this is really nice too, but also you can move your mouse around as well, if you prefer which is nice.

[07:38] install ccsm [07:38] free123, have already. [07:38] in window administrator or somecing like that [07:39] free123, the switcher plugin for unity doesn't have many options on the switcher. === skellum is now known as skellum_ [07:40] DropsOfSerenity : i mean choose a diferent pluge in, compiz have some to change alt+tab [07:41] free123, oh I don't really want to break the unity experience. [07:41] was just asking if that may be a feature for the future. [07:42] I think it will not conflict with unity, but i have not tested with it. I only tested with gnome 2 [07:45] I cannot connect Facebook account through the Pidgin. I do correctly all things. Can anybody help me? [07:46] The_BROS, with the correct plugin?

[07:49] I have ubuntu oneric and adoble flash 11.202 [07:49] The_BROS, I dont use facebook or pidgin, sorry [07:56] Can anyone please recommend me a Live CD that can fix the MBR after deleting Linux/Ubuntu partitions so that you can boot Windows XP alone? [07:56] I think any LiveCD can do that. [07:56] You just need to be able to chroot. [07:57] There's a workaround possible via syslinux, for example. [07:57] TommyC: Can you please give me a link or some documentation on how to do the procedure? [07:57] Google has many resources on chrooting. I recommend SysRescueCD (sysresccd.org). [07:58] TommyC: Thanks! [07:59] TommyC, isn't chrooting meant only if you want to restore a MBR from an already installed Linux system? [07:59] Oh damn, I think you're right. [07:59] Shape, if restoring the Windows MBR is what you really want to do, then you can practically boot up Ubuntu 11.10 live CD or USB, either is fine. [08:00] And then this command "sudo dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda" should restore it back. [08:00] Considering that the hard drive your Windows is in the first hard disk in the first place (/dev/sda) [08:01] Arnold: I am actually in the Ubuntu 10 Live CD right now. And yes the first sda is the windows === wenko2 is now known as ve7wnk [08:01] Shape, then you just have to issue the command I gave you earlier. [08:02] So I take it Windows is in /dev/sda1 partition, and inside the /dev/sda disk, right? [08:02] Arnold: Correct and I just issued the command. Done!. It said 0+1 records in. 0+1 records out 404 bytes copied. === Tiktalik is now known as Sleeptalik [08:02] Arnold: I'm going to reboot now and see if it worked. [08:02] Shape, I see. That sounds about right. I think it's actually 440 bytes :P [08:03] Nope. 404. I have it in front of me right now. [08:03] But yes, if /dev/sda1 is set to active and all, it should work. [08:03] Shape, just be that you have the Windows partition set to active first. [08:04] ie. bootable [08:04] Arnold: It is. Rebooting now. (my laptop is very slow) [08:05] Arnold: Also, I just wanted to add that the reason I'm doing this is to learn how it works. I'm not planning to uninstall Ubuntu completely.

[11:40] !kde | lnxslck [11:40] lnxslck: KDE (http://kde.org) is an open community that creates and maintains software including the Plasma desktop. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [11:40] lnxslck: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install everything that normally comes with Kubuntu [11:40] lnxslck try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [11:41] anyone got prb with nvidia graphic cards ? ? [11:41] ubottu, and ljl and MonkeyDust : will that install the full kubuntu-desktop [11:41] lnxslck: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [11:41] replacing my ubuntu desktop? [11:41] right? [11:41] i just want kde, i don't want to change my ubuntu to kubuntu [11:41] yes it will [11:41] lnxslck: it won't replace ubuntu desktop [11:41] lnxslck: but yes it will install the full kubuntu [11:42] it will like xubuntu did right ? [11:42] lnxslck: you'll have a choice at the login screen to let you choose the environment you want [11:42] lnxslck you can choose after you installed it [11:42] LjL, when my pc boots it will show Ubuntu ? not kubuntu then right? [11:42] i will try it then [11:42] lnxslck: it will show Kubuntu after you install it, but that can be easily changed [11:42] LjL, right, that's the thing i dind't wnat [11:42] (uhm, not sure i remember how, but pretty sure it's easy :P) [11:43] what about installing only kde? [11:43] like apt-get install kfe-full? [11:43] lnxslck: you could install the... yes [11:43] lnxslck guess you can also install just plasma [11:44] i will try this kde-full package [11:44] i really like ubuntu, don't want any thing to do with kubuntu [11:44] can anyone recommend good webcam software? guvcview and cheese freeze within 20 minutes or sooner, and sometimes I need it running longer than that. [11:46] lnxslck: You select the session type at login [11:46] how can i c if libvirtd daemon is started ? :"> [11:46] lnxslck: uh, if you don't want "anything to do with Kubuntu", then don't install KDE at all. the KDE packages are done by the Kubuntu people. [11:46] alocer try ps -e [11:47] whats the difference between installing kde and kubuntu-desktop? [11:47] lnxslck: it's not like Ubuntu and Kubuntu are separate things, they just differ in what UI packages are installed by default [11:47] lnxslck: But if you want the latest version of kde do http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-4.8.2 before installing kubuntu-desktop [11:47] MonkeyDust, it is a service like win 7 right ?

[13:50] <`prixon> I'm using 11.10. is there a way to go back to the old nautilus 2 look? where I could add to my toolbar functions like choosing between "compact view" or "icon view" and not to mention copy,paste, cut,...?

[13:54] can anybody tell me how to make a higher resolution available. the currently highest available isn't sufficient for my monitor [13:55] @ viktor what is your GPU and what res does it support and what drivers are you using ? [13:55] i am trying to change the location of my home dir to another disk. googling around found usermod but it says no changes and does not work [13:56] @ voldyman https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [13:56] <`prixon> MonkeyDust, ? [13:56] haqking, highest res supported 1280x1024, driver is the opensource for my card (Radeon Xpress 200M) (think it's called flrgx), what is "GPU"? [13:57] voldyman, you need to be more specific about what you have tried and what error messages you have seen [13:57] gpu is your graphics processor which you answered really with radeon 200m [13:57] haqking: tried it but there only one difference it is about moving home to a dedicated disk whereas i am moving to a directory in another disk [13:58] after i used the method from the wiki my home dir stopped mounting [13:58] and what resolutiuon are you currently running at and what res do you want ? [13:58] `prixon dont know, i dont like/use Unity [13:59] <`prixon> but in 11.10 I can't use gnome do. and I didn't find a way in awn to search for apps [13:59] `prixon, YOu oculd use SYnapse [13:59] escott: i tried editing fstab which caused my home dir to stop mounting, i tried "usermod -md /media/data/home voldyman" which said no changes [13:59] haqking, running 1280x800, that's enough 4 my laptop screen, but i got a VGA cable connected to a 30" screen that requires min 2560x800 [13:59] `prixon, instead of Gnome DO you could use Synapse.. to search apps and files. [13:59] @ voldyman do you want to move the whole /home as you can just edit user-dir.dirs file to point to a different location for docs.pics etc etc === mefrio is now known as mefrio|afk [14:00] @ viktor but if your card only supports 1280x1024 you wont get 2560x800 [14:01] i want to move the whole /home as user-dir.dirs does not move all dirs [14:01] you cant get better res than your gpu supports [14:01] <`prixon> does it also function like docky as a window manager? [14:02] voldyman, and what does grep voldyman /etc/passwd list as the home directory [14:02] darmok and jalad at tanagra [14:03] voldyman, also you would have to have a "sudo" in that usermod command, and would want to run it when you are not logged in (ie run it from a rescue prompt or a livecd, or another admin user) [14:03] it says /media/data/home [14:03] escott: i had logged in from another account and used sudo [14:03] hi everybody [14:04] haqking, you're right, that's not gonna work... i got another comp here but i don't know the gpu, could you give me the command again to find that out? i forgot... [14:04] voldyman, ok your home is moved. hence the "no changes" [14:05] but the files have not moved -m did not work [14:05] voldyman, then move them manually with sudo mv [14:05] ok, i'll try it now [14:06] * whoam haha [14:06] haqking, nevermind, got it [14:06] thnks for the help [14:06] <`prixon> satyanash, synapse is exactly like the new gnome do - no dock to manage windows [14:07] `prixon, ohh you want to manage windows..I thought you wanted to just get to files.. [14:08] and apps. [14:08] `prixon, AFAIK, GNome Do != Docky [14:08] msg whoami nihao [14:09] @ vikto yeah make sure your grfx card supports the res you want for tv out === szal_ is now known as szal [14:09] @ viktor * [14:09] <`prixon> yeah, do got separated from docky. so if I go back to classic gnome, I can't manage windows with gnome-do [14:10] <`prixon> everything is collapsing! 10.04 was the best and now things get ruined. nautilus sucks, unity sucks, gnome-do not functioning [14:10] how can I stop linux from boot if a condition is not met?

[14:13] <`prixon> nautilus3 is so basic. if you wish to change the method of displaying your files you have to enter the preferences each time. why?!? [14:13] Caifas: First,, you have to boot, before being able to compare something. [14:14] alteregoa: i do but i actually got the idea of the name from a password cracker and i sometimes go by crackerhackz [14:14] crackerjackz, xx.xx is where you mounted the ubuntu partition so it would be like mount /dev/sda# /media/ubuntu mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev [14:14] escott: so what would it be if i mounted it to /mnt/myroot? === diegovieiraeti is now known as diegovieira === hery is now known as Guest84439 [14:15] bekks: hm... if I run a rc.local script that do the comparison I told, if they are not met I shutdown the system would work? [14:16] Does smplayer support .MKV? [14:16] crackerjackz, /mnt/myroot/dev [14:16] Caifas: You cant run a rc.local script without booting. [14:17] crackerjackz, also if you have a separate /boot partition you have to mount that on /mnt/myroot/boot otherwise the instructions wont work [14:17] escott: what about using boot-repair? [14:17] i'm sitting here reading about it i'm on the computer right now from the live cd.. [14:17] it says.. Remark: this can also be performed from a live-CD or live-USB. Either add ‘ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair’ to your Software Sources via the Software Centre or, for speeds-sake, add it using a new Terminal session: [14:18] where exactly in the software center do i add that at? [14:18] crackerjackz, don't know anything about boot-repair, i just use a chroot, but i know the chroot process so i dont need boot repair. bit of a chicken-and-egg problem [14:18] i wait for Zonked Zebrule, how long does it take? [14:19] escott: i suppose ill go the hard way its good to know how things work [14:19] bekks: yes, but, if I need to boot to compare, thats ok, if I can make the comparison before the user are able to use the system that's ok [14:19] <`prixon> I don't understand why making nautilus3 "dumber" than nautilus2.x. and now many leave ubuntu and switch to linux mint === Michael91 is now known as starter [14:20] escott: so would this be correct? sudo mount ‐‐bind /dev /mnt/myroot/dev ?

[14:30] useless chan as usual [14:31] @ kokain better in a windows forum, depends what it is ? [14:31] savr, b/c xorg is only initialized once. your synaptics module is probably being removed prior to sleep. you can modify the thaw scripts to run the synclient commands on dethaw [14:31] oha, I have to install something to move it? [14:31] I want to use command line for a program that it says that supports command line. Problem is how do I find the commands? [14:32] escott, how? [14:32] shredding: its done with a compiz plugin [14:32] Can I install .net based application in wine?

I don't understand how though [14:32] Kokain: What program, and what're you trying to do? [14:32] type ? or help [14:33] there is no list of commands anywhere and I emailed Puran but Im still awaiting a reply [14:33] ok, I'll have a look into it. [14:33] thx [14:33] change to directory of program and execute it so something like cd /path/to/pogram nameofprogram.exe [14:33] whats the best email encyrption where i dont need to give that person my public key..this is my first time and i thinksome of the people i email are less tech savy === mefrio|afk is now known as mefrio [14:33] ok I will try windows channel. I know many Linux users are good with command line so this was my first clue to try :D [14:34] kokain: sorry linux on brain there i meant \ and not / ;-) [14:34] well it will be what i said [14:34] cd \program files\whatever and then type the name of the executable [14:34] what encryption protocol gives me the option to not need a public key or a key where someone has to use...a simple email encryption where i just email it and they get it but no anyone else..i forgot the name [14:35] fellayaboy: You cannot use encryption without having some way to decrypt it on the other side [14:35] yes I've tried that but there is only PuranDefragGUI.exe [14:35] escott, thank you, it worked [14:35] so it just starts the GUI [14:35] right so type that and it should work [14:35] Is there any command-line program in Ubuntu can send files to pastebin? Just like the wgetpaste command in Gentoo. [14:36] and its a gui so why running it from command line [14:36] there is [14:36] just browse to that file and double click it [14:36] Graemelion theres some encryption where on my side i do the encyrption set up and all they need to do is open it up [14:36] but I dont know it [14:36] from Puran web page - GUI and Console Command Line Defrag Supported [14:36] hi all [14:36] im new to email encryption so the key would be right there when i email it to them? and theyh simply open it up or do they need a program [14:36] thats the thing I dont want to start the GUI I want to use it like Windows 7 defrag [14:36] @fellaboy they cant just open soemthing encrypted or anyone could coulnt they, they need some way to decrypt it [14:36] Kokain: I'm not entirely certain you need defrag here. [14:36] example c:\defrag C: /a [14:37] Kokain defrag is not needed in linux [14:37] defrag is needed on linux [14:37] Is there some way to either force unity to put menus on every screen or to tell it to leave menu bars on apps on secondary screens? It seems like Unity is seriously confused about where it should put global menus. [14:37] thats a myth [14:37] does anyone know how to create an efi boot loader for the live USB on mac?

[14:40] you will need to wait for support from pruan if you cant find it === irdxafk is now known as irdx [14:40] alteregoa: quote wikipedia: Linux ext2, ext3, and ext4: Much like UFS, these filesystems employ allocation techniques designed to keep fragmentation under control at all times. As a result, defragmentation is not needed in the vast majority of cases. [14:40] i7c thats simply not true [14:40] fellayaboy, you want to put your key on a keyserver like the mit keyserver (and before you publish make sure you set a date for the key to become invalid [14:41] alteregoa: so you wanna say that ext4 does not do it? [14:41] haqking yeah I cant find it [14:41] im just trying this C:\Program Files\Puran Defrag> .\PuranDefragGUI.exe /help [14:41] but it keeps loading the GUI and ignoring anything after / [14:41] escott, so I can cp my script there? [14:41] if you have a file with 10gb size and not enough contingous space fragmentation occurs [14:41] right wel read it documentaion or readme in same folder, if not then wait for suport from i guess, i havent use that prgram before, but you can just use disk manager to defrag a disk [14:41] savr, you'll have to investigate how that folder works, but something like that should work === saulotoledo is now known as newb [14:42] schroot copy /etc/passwd and /etc/group when I enter at chroot system? [14:42] and ext(xy) doesnt have a online defragmenter, only HFS+ defragments such files [14:42] <_raven> do you know any OCR-Tool which is able to capture digits periodically to a file? [14:42] alteregoa: you dont say. sure it does, but it's tried to keep it under control means it only does it if necessary. [14:42] escott, thanks I think I get it [14:42] @kokain well it will launch the gui, hence the gui in the name ;-) [14:42] fact is, there hadn't been a working defrag-solution for ext-fs for years, which forces the myth "linux won't fragment". now there is e4defrag ... [14:42] I know, no other .exe thouhg :( [14:43] I wonder if its like 7zip, where I need to download different .exe in order for it to work [14:43] If a modern file system starts to fragment you probably won't be able to defrag it with an application running on the same storage system [14:43] well if its not a .exe then .cmd or something if not cant help sorry, peace [14:43] ext3 and ext4 are very rudimentary filesystems, they do not even support atomic operations [14:43] anyhow, anyone with an idea about how to get the menu bar to work in a decent way on a multi screen system? [14:43] Is it possible to create deb package for ubuntu with binary files, basicly to put all the content on /opt/ ? [14:44] maybe BTRFS with online defragmentation and compression is the way to go for future [14:44] alket, checkinstall [14:44] <_raven> do you know any OCR-Tool which is able to capture digits periodically to a file? [14:44] escott, thank you [14:45] _raven: ocr I never seen in linux but I havn't looked in some time, what have you found so far? [14:46] My apt-get update gives me the following errors: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/581361/ [14:46] Any ideas how to fix this? [14:46] <_raven> sacarlson i am looking for something like that [14:47] _raven: have you looked at tessaract or cuneiform? [14:47] _raven: I know you looking but what have you found already? [14:47] _raven: I assume you use google to start? [14:48] <_raven> sacarlson are theese comments helpful? [14:49] pythonirc101: what happens if you type: echo > testfile in a terminal? [14:49] pythonirc101: I"ve seen someone that turned off the security repository I wonder if you did the same or you failed to sudo apt-get update; [14:50] _raven: yes they are but I had hope you would be a part of the research and I not be alone [14:50] <_raven> ok [14:50] hello, quick question. when you get the "your are not in the sudoers file, this incident will be reported" where is it reported? [14:50] pythonirc101: from your error: "Read-only file system" [14:50] _raven: as you are not my only progect [14:51] can someone help me with resizing of a partition ... I am dual booting and took about 40gbs away from my windows part and I want to add it to my linux part but I cant figure out how to do it ... I am loaded up with a live usb and running GParted but I can figure out how to add space on [14:51] bootes: maybe /var/log/auth.log (guess) [14:51] I believe it exists in root mail... but not positive. === saba is now known as Guest29607 [14:51] donavan01, can you sent a screenshot of gparted [14:51] !paste | donavan01 [14:51] donavan01: 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. [14:52] escott ... uhh maybe === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [14:52] hi men [14:53] donavan01: I"m not sure gparted or anything linux would be the best to resize a ntfs partition as it's all reverse eng. to do that. can't you find a windows app to do it? [14:53] bootes, L3top: yep, seems like you'll see a message in /var/log/auth.log as well as a mail sent to root [14:53] Why every time I got to the IRC I received a message that my nick name was registered? [14:53] worm: probably because you aren't identifying? [14:53] worm: because it *is* registered by someone else, "worm" that is [14:54] sacarlson ... the part isnt NTFS ... there is about 40gb of unallocated space and the that I want to add to my linux part [14:54] sacarlson, he already shrunk it, and most of the time it works [14:54] donavan01: ok so you want to resize an extX to add the unpartitioned space? [14:54] Hello people I hawe a small problem with pidgin ... In some time crash , but this problem is only on ubuntu [14:54] jrib and l3top..thanks found it.

[14:56] !pastebinit | worm [14:56] worm: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [14:57] paulo_: su www-data -c sh whatever [14:57] sacarlson ... I am trying to build an android kernel and the source code for that is huge ... I have eaten up almost 20gb with just the repositories and such I need for that [14:57] paulo_: what can't you run with www-data that you want to run?

[14:59] Can I use another application called "wgetpaste" in Ubuntu? It is available in Gentoo and I cannot find it in apt. [14:59] L3top: Read-only file system....It was fine a few days ago! [15:00] worm: maybe something like pastebinit?

[15:02] You know... there is probably a way to force the OS to do a check... [15:02] on reboot [15:02] donavan01, you would first have to extended partition 4 (the extended partition to the left). i believe that gparted can do that for you [15:02] I am sure of it, but do not know... anybody else?

[15:04] donavan01, you can get fancy with things and delete the partitions 4-6 and then recreate them in place, but with the extended partition starting earlier. its not for the faint of heart, but it can be done [15:05] donavan01, i've done it before in fdisk, but you have to be careful to get everything aligned exactly the way it was. i thought gparted had some feature to do this though [15:05] escott ... being that I dont really have anything on this OS would I be better of just blowing it away and reinstalling [15:05] hello, I'm experiencing a strange issue with shutdown that I can't figure out. I can shutdown graphically or from the command line, and the computer will seem to come to a complete halt (no obvious activity from the hard drive light), but the power doesn't turn off.

This incident will be reported." <-- that was funny. [15:06] donavan01: that strange that image doesn't tell me were the partitions are mounted, I might asume that you linux root partition is /dev/sda6 so you might want to use /dev/sda4 as you /home partiton [15:06] how do I delete part of a clip in kdenlive after using razor tool?

[15:48] sacarlson: just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should ;) (re-wubi) [15:48] thanks anyway :) [15:48] When I view 3d content moving fast, it's like a part of the screen moves, then the other part stays still, and then the other also moves. Is that related to vsync (or what it's called)? Nvidia gpu on Ubuntu 11.10. [15:48] ok thanks [15:48] arooni-mobile: under network one of your options should be host only adaptor, that lest the guest network with the host only, if you are setting up a proxy then that should be all you need [15:48] #hacker [15:49] oal: usually vsync (issue is typically called tearing) [15:49] Helo_: update-grub or update-grub2 [15:49] zykotick9: any settings I can change to prevent it from happening? [15:49] what is the best Mac client/Ubuntu server combo to remote into a server containing Ubuntu-desktop ? [15:49] i have to enter that in the terminal. I am a total newby in ubuntu [15:49] zykotick9: Helo_: I hate wubi and only think of it as a try if you like test mode. but never seen it damage anything before [15:50] oal: turn vsync on - typically there is both an nvidia setting and a compiz setting for it (or there used to be in compiz) [15:50] tbrown: if you want a clean xfc interface you could use xubuntu, the old gnome2 interface is gone, the closest thing I've seen to it is cinnamon [15:50] Helo_: do you know how to open a terminal? [15:50] zykotick9: thanks [15:50] yep [15:50] Helo_: okay, then you need to enter "sudo update-grub" or "sudo update-grub2" [15:51] Helo_: this should update your grub information and if all went fine, you should see windows on next boot [15:51] zykotick9: is that "Sync to VBlank" in the nvidia driver settings? It's already enabled [15:51] bergelmir: you do know they said they used wibi, that's not a normal grub install [15:51] its a real shame imho that they removed the compact file view in nautilus [15:51] bergelmir: update-grub and update-grub2 are really the same - you only has to specify one ;) [15:51] it was superior for fitting stuff on screen [15:52] columns are not nearly as optimal [15:52] oal: ya - that's the nvidia setting [15:52] bergelmir_: thanks it aks me my password generated several lines [15:52] i try reboot my computer now [15:52] bouma: in the later version of ubuntu I note they removed many things from bugs like gpg decryption/encryption and many more [15:53] sacarlson: haven't used wubi yet but he said he cannot choose between ubuntu and windows and that sounds like grub [15:53] oal: did you say it tearing in 3d? check the "OpenGL Settings" in nvidia-settings there a "Sync to VBlank" there as well. [15:53] Helo_: have you entered your correct password? [15:53] yes [15:53] bergelmir: I could be mistaken so ask them [15:53] zykotick9: Sync to Vblank is already checked. I googled tearing and found this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/01/how-to-fix-video-tearing-in-videos-nvidia-ubuntu/ will try it now [15:54] all the information I fund on the net seems topoint a grub problem [15:54] I change my mind because I just want to learn the basic of ubuntu am just installing Ubuntu 9.10 is that still supported [15:54] oal: for videos, be use "X Server XVideo Settings" in nvida-setting already has "Sync to VBlank" then. [15:54] s/use/sure/ [15:54] bergelmir: you could be right then maybe Helo_ upgraded to something other than wubi and didn't know it? [15:55] doesn't work [15:55] I used the wubi [15:55] Helo_: do you know the difference of wubi and grub? [15:55] Hry guys. I've recently bought a X-Fi Xtreme Gamer sound card, and i've slotted it in and it all works, except for a hissing in the background. Any ideas on how I can eliminate that? [15:55] Helo_: is ubuntu installed as a program on your windows installation or is ubuntu installed next to your windows installation? [15:55] is there a chat room for windows xp [15:56] sacarlson i am a total newbi spent less than 12 hours on ubuntu so far [15:56] oal: what video player are you using? and what VO (Video Output) are you using with that video player? XV vs GL vs VDPAU might give very different results. [15:56] zykotick9: I meant 3d as in a 3d game. More specifically webgl [15:56] tbrown: ##windows [15:56] Helo_ wubi is *inside* windows, a normal install is *alongside* and independant from windows [15:56] this hissing is constant, even without any media players, how do I change from XV vs GL vs VDPAU? [15:56] oal: webgl, i see. well, good luck man. [15:57] i followed the tutorial on ubuntu website [15:57] zykotick9: is it not related to vsync then? [15:57] oal: don't have the slightest idea sorry. good luck. [15:57] i did exactely the same thing on a nother computer and that works fine I can still boot on windows [15:57] Helo_: so you didn't have a problem and install grub did you? [15:58] zykotick9: heh, ok, I hope I can find a solution, as it's quite annoying [15:58] i just enterred the comand that was previusly given I didn't install anything else [15:58] the command was for grub update [15:59] any existing solution for heating problems with Sony Vaio laptops? [15:59] Helo_: grub_update from a live cd? [15:59] no [15:59] from the terminal on the open session [15:59] i want to combine my router and homeserver into one device for energy efficiency, instead of serperate ubuntu server and linux router distro, does anyone know how safe this is? what i should be aware of security wise before i do it. [15:59] nischayn22, I think 12.04 addresses some of it [15:59] Helo_: sounds like your still in wubi then [15:59] compdoc: I am using 12.04 [15:59] sacarlson: FYI grub-update from livecd/usb would require chroot to work -- see !grub2 link for details. [15:59] sacarlson ok [15:59] this hissing is constant, even without any media players, how do I change from XV vs GL vs VDPAU? [16:00] nischayn22, ooops [16:00] ChrisWere: XV/GL/VDPAU are video outputs... is the hissing audio? [16:00] zykotick9: hmm, now I see the CompizConfig says refresh rate is 50 while my monitors are 60Hz. Does it make sense to also set compiz to 60? [16:00] wubi ~= live cd? [16:00] zykotick9: I told you I already hate wubi and you expect me to research it? not going to happen [16:00] compdoc: I am afraid if something crashes using ubuntu the temperature is normally about 60 [16:00] yes the hissing is through the headphones, I've had a play around with the outputs, but it doesn't change anything. [16:01] nischayn22, its a common problem, and you certainly dont want it to run hot [16:01] sacarlson: :) i was just trying to help. I have Helo on /ignore so i'm not see there side... [16:01] ChrisWere: does it sound like sssssssssssssssssssss. ya I hate that [16:01] compdoc: :( Have to keep switching back and forth with MS [16:01] anyone know of a blood pressure monitor or pulse monitor that can interface with ubuntu [16:01] oal: i'm not sure man... [16:02] zykotick9: oh bummer I was hoping someone like yourself was going to find a solution [16:02] sacarlson: yeah its a sssssssssssssssss, like it's a very cheap sound card. But I payed a fair bit for this. [16:02] sacarlson: wubi issue = add to ignore list ;) [16:02] What do I have to do to get ubuntu on my phone now? [16:02] Not the vnc, shite. I want to dock to ubuntu. [16:02] so hard. [16:03] so very hard. [16:03] I got the epic 4g touch. take all of my money! [16:03] Grock, all you need to do is wait. [16:04] OerHeks, I feel like I am gonna pop. At least with Krampusnacht, there is a date. :( [16:04] zykotick9: I should learn to do the same [16:04] I am willing to make my phone unuseable for any other thing. [16:04] Grock: on your phone? I use ssh [16:05] no... [16:05] * Grock sighs. [16:05] I can run the images, okay -- I want the ubuntu integration. [16:05] Very tight. [16:05] I like what I see. [16:05] so ive been using transmission for the last few weeks and every few days files which were complete, it tells me a piece of them is corrupt anad to verify them, which i do but then sometimes a few days later the same thing happens again. now i was going to back up what i had downloaded, but part of me is woried about wasting media if pieces from these files just go corrupt. [16:05] Will tatoo logo on face. [16:05] Grock, no need for the hyperbole [16:06] Grock: maybe not an android phone? it's already linux [16:06] Grock, i think you need an extra t for tattoo [16:06] Oh, thanks ohpt. [16:06] Any ideas on how I could get rid of the hissing? [16:06] Grock, check #ubuntu-phone [16:06] Grock, , no problem , its what im here for [16:06] Grock not use hyperbole. Grock smash. . . oh, thanks bazhang. [16:06] hey [16:06] ChrisWere: there are some cool filters in ladspa but not sure that will do for you [16:06] how do I disable udisks checking on my cdrom? [16:07] sacarlson: is it worth a try? [16:07] ChrisWere: if your into sound you should play with ladspa and jackd [16:07] now about the files having corrupt pieces after not being touched, could this somehow be because they are transfered to and from a terrabyte usb drive? [16:08] sacarlson: I just wanted a decent one for my mic to work and nicer music. [16:09] ChrisWere: you might want to see what other people have said about your sound card chips, sudo lshw ; and google the sound chip in linux [16:10] bazhang, what a dead channel. :/ [16:10] ChrisWere: "lspci | grep -i audio" might show you sound card as well [16:10] ChrisWere: other posibility is your mixer settings are just open on mic even when you play music but not likely [16:10] the other weird thing i noticed is after a few days of using transmission and using its interface to load video and music, my speakers start sounding blown out, but if i switch into other OSes they go back to normal, no clipping of the sound [16:11] bazhang, ubuntu phone is not the droid I seek. [16:11] Grock, it does not exist yet [16:11] I've seen it demonstrated. [16:12] grock, not to be a heathen but if ubuntu isn't it, why not try ubuntu's parent? [16:12] ohptlabs: downloaded mp3's will all have different sound levels so don't compare different mp3 on different os's [16:12] It can't be vapor. [16:12] Grock, thats far outside this channels scope; for unreleased products [16:12] Meh, to wait stoicly. [16:13] sacarlson, i meantioned the other oses just because i have to reset to get the clipping to stop, and it hasn't really been mp3s, mainly mkv, avi's and mp4 [16:13] Grock, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here [16:13] Grock: what phone did you hope to install ubuntu on? [16:13] guys, how can I confirm that my remote server has an ubuntu-desktop running ? [16:13] sacarlson: it says to update drivers, but I already have the most up-to-date ones [16:14] sacarlson, I can install ubuntu just fine on an epic 4g touch. My disinclination to call the job there falls within the scope of this channel. [16:14] sacarlson: do you think it might be broken, it is a refurbished model. [16:14] ohptlabs: no mater what format they are from nonprofesional sources and you should expect not have the same sound levels [16:14] profxavier: what do you mean? [16:14] WHAT? [16:14] Thing is, though -- you have to run vnc to connect to it. [16:14] clunky. [16:15] zyki have a remote server which I just have shell access to [16:15] ChrisWere: uptodate does not mean it works, in linux new does not mean better [16:15] Still -- nice to be able to pentest on the go. [16:15] zykotick9, sorry, that post was for you ^^ [16:15] sacarlson, what i mean then is the same sound or video, after being used to played will start sounding different [16:15] after putting username and password in apt.conf why do i get the error 407 authentication required in terminal [16:15] profxavier: "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop" to confirm the package is installed. then perhaps, "ps aux | grep X" to confirm Xorg is running? [16:15] ohptlabs: not sure what could be changing then? === Granis` is now known as Granis [16:16] anybody please? [16:16] zykotick9, I see nothing from grep [16:16] sacarlson, for instance last night i queued up in the nursery's a page of madness while i slept nd when i woke up six hours later all the bass parts now were distorted and clipping which they werent when i went to sleep [16:16] ohptlabs: after updating linux software? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [16:16] sacarlson: to be honest there's not much in good on it that I can find. I think I might return it. [16:17] sacarlson, no i dont think linuxhas been updated ina few weeks === Someguy123 is now known as Someguy123[afk] [16:17] ohptlabs: no linux updates every hour not every week === Someguy123[afk] is now known as Someguy123 [16:17] profxavier: maybe "sudo service lightdm status"? [16:17] it reminds of old linux sound driver problems i had in 1998, but its been too long for me to remember an easy solution [16:18] lightdm is not recognized [16:18] sacarlson, i know, i just don't update that regularly on the my family's home computer, my 7 year old uses it too often for it to be down for any reason [16:18] profxavier: did you install ubuntu-desktop? is this 11.10? [16:18] ohptlabs: this is open source so everyone works 24/7 [16:19] sacarlson, i know :) how im using the LTS release for this box. [16:19] argh!!! [16:19] ohptlabs: and I know you don't set the auto update? I'm sure no one ever does that do they? [16:20] sacarlson: is there anything else you can suggest? [16:20] zykotick9, the OS was installed by someone else, remotely [16:20] zykotick9, i guess i need to understand how to start X ? [16:20] profxavier: "lsb_release -sc" [16:20] sacarlson, gold star of psychicness. no, space is kind of tight so when i do update i have to useramdrives for the extra space until updates are done. [16:20] lucid [16:21] profxavier: "sudo service gdm status" [16:21] not recognized [16:21] ChrisWere: no I'm out of idea'a [16:21] gdm: unrecognized service [16:22] profxavier: is a desktop installed here? "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop" is it installed? [16:22] hey folks [16:23] and in my present state I'm more trouble then help ( I had a few beers) [16:23] sory for this dummit question. but how do i know my actual release ? [16:23] zykotick9, what am I looking for in the output ? [16:23] !version | DelphiWorld [16:23] DelphiWorld: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy » [16:23] DelphiWorld: uname -a will provide your linux version [16:23] hello, can anybody help me with a partition problem? [16:23] bazhang: THXXXXXXXXXx [16:24] sacarlson: ahhh fixed it [16:24] xcv_, what kind of problem? [16:24] sacarlson: Just tried messing arround in alsamixer [16:24] no more Maverick support? [16:24] 11.10 [16:24] ChrisWere: wow without my help, you might of figured it out sooner [16:24] wth? [16:24] profxavier: "Installed: VERSIONINFO" or "Installed: (none)" [16:25] how do i convert m4b or audiobooks to mp3 ? [16:25] ah, sorry, (none) [16:25] !maverick | Gunz4MiPPle [16:25] Gunz4MiPPle: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [16:25] rename to mp3 and use soundconverter ? [16:25] ok, so its an Ubuntu-Deskop install, but without the Desktop [16:25] I see [16:25] k-rAd-, you mean m4v? [16:25] nope itunes audiobooks [16:25] hi anyone knows how I can change background @gnome3 login screen? [16:25] .m4b [16:26] k-rAd-, i'd burn them to disc first and just rip the disc [16:26] awesome [16:26] thank you [16:26] ohptlabs: last year I bought a laptop with windows 7 and I installed ubuntu on my last primary partition (of course, I regret). Now, I got in love with arch linux, but I would like to keep my highly customized ubuntu and my first original windows. What could I do? [16:26] xcv_, resize the partions using gparted [16:26] irenicus09, depends on what login manager its using. In 12.04 i belive it now changes to whatever one the user has selected.. neat trick. [16:26] irenicus09, or find the file its using and just edit it. [16:26] Dr_willis: gdm [16:27] ohptlabs: but I have no space for more primary partitions, that implies that i can't even create an extended one [16:27] xcv_: maybe on your next install you will use lvm partitions that can easily be changed in size [16:27] xcv_, how much free space is on bother partitions? [16:27] irenicus09, most likely theres a guide on it at the askubuntu.com site [16:27] s/bother/both [16:28] xcv_: you can only have 4 primary partitions, or 3 primary and one extended - if you currently have 4 primary, one needs to be deleted [16:29] ohptlabs: that's the problem. In kde kde partition manager (i have many desktops installed) I found a partition backup partition, but I don't know if the restore would work to make my windows recovery work in case of need. [16:30] backup option* [16:30] I just installed 12.04. I have three monitors; how do I get them to stop mirroring and display separate? [16:30] BlueClaw: reask in #ubuntu+1 [16:30] xcv_: do you want to still have all the filesystems available? Or to keep an archive of them? [16:30] xcv_, well you don't really to touch that partition. how much total space do you have and how is it divided? how much free space if any is on each partition? [16:31] zykotick9, would that simply be a package installation, to get my "desktop" on Ubuntu-Desktop ? [16:31] profxavier: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" [16:31] xcv_: just wondering if squashfs-tools may be of interest to you. [16:31] profxavier: GUIs on servers make no sense to me, so best of luck. [16:31] !info squashfs-tools [16:31] squashfs-tools (source: squashfs-tools): Tool to create and append to squashfs filesystems. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.2-4 (oneiric), package size 129 kB, installed size 352 kB [16:32] zykotick9, haha [16:32] wylde, ohptlabs: well, nowadays I don't really need the recovery partition (only 100MB), but I would like to be able to restore it some day. Is that easy? [16:32] zykotick9, its just an experiment [16:32] zykotick9, also, i could setup a VM on the remote server [16:32] xcv_: I honestly don't know. I 've never had to do that. [16:33] if its only a 100mb i wouldn't bother touching it, how much total space is your harddrive? [16:33] a 100mb recovery pariton seems.. tiny. [16:33] ohptlabs: I have space, but I need to make another primary(extended) partition, the problem is that I already have 4 [16:34] windows 7 uses a little boot type partion, and normally the pc makers put on a recovery partion of a few gb from what ive seen. [16:34] please wait, I will provide a fdisk print [16:34] xcv_: I'm suggesting squashfs-tools because you can use it to make a highly compressed copy of a complete filesystem. It can also be mounted and even exported over the network. [16:34] xcv_, then yes the person earlier was correct, if you have four primaries you'll need to delete one to make n extended partition [16:35] ohptlabs: yes, and my doubt is if windows would have any problem with the backup-delete-restore process [16:35] xcv_, easiest way with out doing anything would be to just dd the partion to a file. [16:35] zykotick9, thats for your time/patience [16:35] zykotick9, thanks* [16:35] profxavier: good luck! glad to help. [16:35] How do I read out my stored wifi keys? I thought it used to be using the "seahorse" program, but I just ran seahorse and it only talks about my ssh keys, not my wifi keys. [16:36] ohptlabs: I have already backed it up, but I have never restored a partition from a file... [16:36] im trying to ressurect an older computer. i have the pc plugged directly in to my router. the corresponding router indicator light is orange/amber color and not green. i have booted up with ubuntu live cd, and i cannot get a wired internet connection to work. i have disabled/ignored ipv6 in network connection settings, but its still not working. any suggestions? [16:36] Galaxor, 'read out' ? you mean see what they were? [16:36] xcv_, so you've go a backup partition for winddows, windows 7 partition, a linux partition and what else? [16:36] Dr_willis: Yeah. I want to tell my friend the wifi password, but I forgot it. [16:36] ohptlabs: I backed up an image of the 100MB recovery partition [16:36] m1chael: are you using a Lucid 10.04 CD by chance? [16:36] m1chael, set a static ip. see if it can ping the router. check dmesg output. try differnt cable also. [16:37] Dr_willis: (I'm in ubuntu 11.10) [16:37] Galaxor, i dont think thats doable via seahorse - the wifi config tools i thought had a 'show password' check box. [16:37] actually its xubuntu latest version [16:38] Dr_willis: Which wifi config tools? [16:38] ohptlabs: here you have my partition table: http://pastebin.com/pBhz5rEG [16:38] m1chael: from terminal "lspci | grep -i ethernet" what model of ethernet is it? [16:38] Galaxor, the one at the top right of ubuntu panel, network managers interface i belive. I rarely use wireless - just too much hassle. [16:38] Dr_willis: Oh, in system settings > Networ. Got it. Thanks! [16:39] intel pro/100 ve network connection [16:39] xcv_, what type if the first partition, i dont recall what id 27's type is. [16:39] tried 2 differnt wifi thangs in this pc. keep having connection issues.. got one of those pc -> ethernet->wireless 'connect your xbox to the wlan' thangs. and wireless is finally working decently for me with this pc. === k-rAd- is now known as k-rad === brokenbrainedphi is now known as brokencodes [16:40] pc just thinks its wired. ;) [16:40] Hello [16:41] Jello [16:41] ohptlabs: the partition manager says it is ntfs and the parititon tags are, in order: PQSERVICE, SYSTEM RESCUE, Acer, ubuntu-root [16:41] xcv_, desconocido? [16:41] ohptlabs: unknown in english [16:42] m1chael: are you sure that isn't your wireless card? [16:42] xcv_, hmmm... unknown? any information there? [16:42] Im trying to create a gtk3 theme for my ubuntu gnome desktop, is there guidelines to creating one or how would i begin to doing one myself? [16:42] m1chael: sorry, ya that looks like the ethernet [16:43] ohptlabs: if I am not wrong, I think it's de windows boot partition [16:43] ohptlabs: the* [16:44] ohptlabs: sorry, the recovery is the first one, boot is the second [16:44] xcv_, on your pastebin it looks like /dev/sda2 is whats booting, the 100MB partition [16:44] m1chael: could you run "lspci -vnvn | grep -i ethernet" and give me the XXXX:XXXX number/letter beside teh Intel 100 ve [16:45] ohptlabs: yes, yes, it was my fault [16:45] xcv_, and your whole drive is used? or just 25g of it? [16:46] ohptlabs: I resized the partitions a few months ago to leave space [16:46] zykotick9: 8086:1094 [16:46] how can i restart ubuntu one... the share option on folders is grayout on ubuntu rigth click menu. [16:46] hey [16:47] sup [16:47] ohptlabs: excuse me for my english, I was saving up space because I imagined that some day I would like to install another distro [16:47] a subjective question: how difficult would it be to take a simple usb device (such as a glucose monitor, heart rate monitor, etc) and use a usb analyzer to try to code a way to get info off the device? [16:47] if I can boot to an install cd but I can't install from that medium because of errors. can I download the iso, mount it, and install like that? [16:47] Hello everyone. I am running XFCE with Ubuntu 11.10. Since a while, I can't start synaptic, package manager from menu. The only was is to use console mode and then type sudo synaptic. I guess there is something wrong with gksduo [16:47] m1chael: "lsmod | grep e100" do you get output? [16:48] gabx666, try gksudo synaptic from a terminal and look for errors. [16:48] !gksu | gabx666 [16:48] gabx666: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:48] my output is: e100 36289 0 [16:48] sacarlson: bergelmir: i found thesolution [16:48] m1chael: that appears to be the required driver for your card, and that says that it's loaded. Sorry - i'm out of ideas. Good luck. [16:48] the sudo update-grub command was saying that it was skipping windows 7 loader on wubi system [16:49] xcv_, your english seems better than mine most of the time. so what your saying is at the end of the linux partition there is more space that you can't partition because you already have four partition that are primary? [16:49] sacarlson: bergelmir: the sudo update-grub command was saying that it was skipping windows 7 loader on wubi system [16:49] im trying to install ubuntu off xp so im tryinng a demo first. i left the cd in pc on boot and it still boots to xp... wat shal i do?? ive tryed the help option on the cd.... dont work :( [16:50] ohptlabs: exactly, I was wishing to install arch in that space, I like having the lastest software, but I am a bit afraid about stability yet [16:50] Dr_willis gksudo from console open the gksudo window where I can type my passowrd, then synaptic starts. No error meaasge [16:50] dictodude: did you set your bios to boot from cd¿ [16:50] zykotick9: thanks for your help! [16:50] m1chael: sorry i failed, good luck man. [16:50] xangua ---------- i cant cos my pc has a bios password that i dont know [16:50] ... [16:51] wat shall i do xangua [16:51] sacarlson: bergelmir: i had to fix the Master Boot Record with those command from the command menu after booting on windows 7 dvd [16:51] xcv_, well whomever said earlier that you you'd need to delete a primary partition to make an extended partition was correct, pretty much, your only other option would be to make the one partition take up the rest of your disk, make a file that would be the size of the new distribution, make that file a filesystem and then have that file mounted as a loop back file system. [16:52] ohptlabs: ;) [16:52] sacarlson: bergelmir: I used those commands in this order: bcdedit /export C:\BCD_Backup c: cd boot attrib bcd -s -h -r ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old bootrec /RebuildBcd [16:52] zykotick9, ^_^ [16:52] bergelmir: the link with the informations http://www.tomshardware.com/news/win7-windows-7-mbr,10036.html [16:53] im trying to install ubuntu off xp so im tryinng a demo first. i left the cd in pc on boot and it still boots to xp... wat shal i do?? ive tryed the help option on the cd.... dont work :( [16:53] sacarlson: bergelmir: thank very much you for your help guys [16:53] ohptlabs: how do I boot a file? o_O... Or did I understand wrongly? [16:53] im trying to install ubuntu off xp so im tryinng a demo first. i left the cd in pc on boot and it still boots to xp... wat shal i do?? ive tryed the help option on the cd.... dont work :( [16:53] xcv_, its alot easier than it sounds. [16:54] dictodude recent computers let you select boot devices by pressing f12 at boot time. [16:54] dictodude, change in bios to boot from cd first === napster is now known as Guest59347 [16:54] xcv_, youll need to make a file first, so "touch name_of_the_file" in whatever directory. then you'll need to file up the file [16:54] ohptlabs: really? and during the installation... how do I select the partition/file where to install it? [16:55] gvo bazhang --------------- i tryed going into bios but there was password request that i dont know [16:55] why is sudo apt-get -f install not installing dependencies? Each thing I try to install has the dependency of the other and will not install unless the other is previously on the machine [16:55] hi all [16:55] can anyone please translate "setfacl -Rm u:www-data:rwx logs" and "setfacl -Rm u:www-data:rx pydocs" with the equivalent chmod commands? [16:55] ohptlabs: I think I did something similar with a swap file, but I still can't imagine how to install an OS there... [16:55] I have a computer that is wired connection to my router. When / if the router is re-booted it of course looses connection. The question is why does it not re-connect. Ig I re-boot the computer it re-connects automatically - I do have auto-connect on [16:55] dictodude you can try the f12 but you really need to find out what the password is. [16:56] xcv_, so "dd if=/dev/zero of=name_of_the_file bs=1024 count=size_of_the_file_you_want" [16:56] Thunder7102: That is supposed to try to fix broken packages and dependencies ... not "install dependencies" [16:56] Girlygirl, is there an option to intall dependencies that are also in that repository? [16:56] GirlyGirl: actually "apt-get -f install" can be used to install dependencies [16:57] ohptlabs: size in KiB or MiB? [16:57] gvo > is there a way to reset the pass without taking out the bios battery?? [16:57] I continue to get errors and i need to create a wireless to wired bridge network. :/ [16:57] dictodude I don't know. [16:57] zykotick9: It corrects dependencies in case the current state is broke [16:57] n [16:57] xcv_, the bs=1024 means that each count is one kb [16:57] dictodude: but that doesn't mean there isn't a way. [16:57] Thunder7102: Do you have any ppa's and have you done "apt-get update" [16:58] gvo i tryed the reset passes but they dont wor [16:58] GirlyGirl: correct - so assuming you use dpkg to install something, dependencies aren't installed - so using "apt-get -f install" after, 'should' install the required dependencies (cause it's currently in a broken state) [16:58] dictodude here's a discussion http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000235.htm [16:58] gvo shall i risk the software that craks bios [16:58] gvo ok thnx [16:59] ohptlabs: working, I think I will try with a 10GB file first [16:59] dictodude: No opinon on that. === codefactory_ is now known as alexseif [17:00] I think the problem was that i did not know that you were supposed to run apt-get -f install without specifying the package [17:00] xcv_, after its doneyou'd mkfs on it, something like "mkfs.ext2 -vv name_of_the_file" you could add other options ( -L for a label) things like that. it'll say its not a special block device but tell it to proceed anyways [17:01] xcv_, then after you have your file that is a block device you'll need to mount it with "mount -o loop name_of_file destination_mount_point" === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [17:02] xcv_, thats the easiest way i can come up with with out deleting a primary partition to make extended partitions. [17:02] hi [17:02] ohptlabs: but... how do I install arch on it now? [17:03] sshfs won't work anymore. I can ssh into the machine normally, but when I try to mount sshfs I get "connection reset by peer". [17:03] no clue were to investigate [17:03] xcv_ try a arch channel. [17:03] *where [17:03] xcv_ this is ubuntu. [17:04] gvo: I mean, not only arch, it's any distribution, I can't imagine how to install it in a file, when it asks, it asks for a partition [17:04] xcv_, when you are installing what every dist, when it gets to the part about what partition to use bring up a console and mount the file === codefactory_ is now known as alexseif [17:04] xcv_, the partitions are essenntially large files, like a three ring binder [17:05] schroot copy /etc/passwd and /etc/group when I enter at chroot system? [17:05] ohptlabs: so, I mount the ubuntu filesystem, then I mount the image and it will appear in the installation assistant? o_O [17:06] xcv_, if thats all too hairy you could also "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=backup" which willl make a file called backup that is an exact copy of the whole first partiton, you could then delete that partition, resize the others until you have enough space to make a extended partition [17:06] Hello [17:06] I'm trying to upgrade mysql 5.1 to 5.2 or 5.5 but I can't manage that [17:06] xcv_, essentially yes. [17:06] as you can tell I'm a rookie on linux [17:07] I can't seem to get it done from the package manager or terminal apt-get upgrade [17:07] ohptlabs: okay, thank you, I will try that. In the case I wasn't able to make it work and I decide to use the "easy" method, If I want to restore, I make an identical partition with fdisk and I dd the backup on it, right? [17:08] when ubuntu 12.04 comes out..? [17:09] xcv_, you dont even need to make an identical partition for the backup, just dd the device to a file that could be anywhere, that file can also be mounted with the mount -o loop command [17:09] me-1: /join #ubuntu+1 for pangolin [17:09] ohptlabs: in the windows recovery environment? [17:09] me-1: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [17:10] hi i need help [17:10] xcv_, don't know, not sure about how windows handles things, last windows i used was 2k [17:10] ohptlabs: lol, well thank you a lot anyways :) [17:10] how can i reinstall ubuntu live on a usb stick without killing persistant-changes file? [17:11] what tool do i use for doing this from windows? [17:12] xcv_, no problem, if it helps try just makinfg a very small loop back partition to see how itt works or even the dd if that 100mb partition and mount it in linux to see if there is any difference in the data [17:12] how fix can pls? [17:12] hi [17:12] i have a question about subversion on Ubuntu [17:13] can i ask here? [17:14] ivan__: Just ask. [17:14] can anyone help me out [17:14] citra1, ask a question first [17:15] I have a svn server on my computer, and i would like to know if exist any program for Ubuntu to manage it with a visual interface [17:15] anyone knows?

So install drivers will be a little harder for him [17:55] !who ubottu [17:55] yes it does [17:55] zykotick9, bazhang I know about 32 and 64 bit incompatibilities, but how does it work? [17:55] Sibo, aptitude is not even installed by default anymore, but one problem at a time [17:55] lisaweinfurtner: if eth0 is up.Try: sudo dhclient -r [17:55] lisaweinfurtner: Set the ip address manually for now. [17:55] Xunie: multiarch allows both 32 and 64 bit packages to be install on the same system, prelaces the the lib32 stuff. [17:56] lisaweinfurtner: sudo dhclient [17:56] Xunie: it's still a work-in-progress... [17:56] sudo dhclient eth0 lisaweinfurtner [17:56] If it's a work-in-progress, why is it in the 11.10 repo? [17:56] Terminated!! [17:56] Any ideas on why Ubuntu is running so ridiclously slow? I have an i7 processor with 2gb of ram dedicated to it [17:56] newbie|2: in a VM? [17:57] bazhang: true... I using only debian. Haha [17:57] yes [17:57] Xunie: ubuntu doesn't wait for things to be ready/done - everything is rolled out ASAP and users beta-test. way-of-ubuntu. [17:57] newbie|2: which one? === tazjin is now known as tazjin|away [17:57] zykotick9, totally different from Debian. :P [17:57] !away > tazjin|away [17:57] tazjin|away, please see my private message [17:57] Xunie: that's for sure === mrJack is now known as mrjack [17:57] Oracle virtual box [17:58] So, how's aptitude's support with multiarch? [17:58] lisaweinfurtner: And? [17:58] "no such device" [17:58] Last time I did some stuff, it ended up all messed up. >_> [17:58] Xunie: aptitude was removed from default ubuntu for a reason... you might want to stick to apt-get [17:58] newbie|2: Don't know. [17:58] ؟ [17:58] hmm, alright [17:58] As I type in the irc, my text doesn't appear until I click [17:58] ssta, ok, I've made enough space on the external NTFS disk, so now I have to create an empty file and then do "sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/to/file bs=1M", right? [17:59] lisaweinfurtner: Can you set a static IP adress? [17:59] zykotick9, thanks. >_> [17:59] Found it out the hard way, though. [17:59] What about synaptic? Is that still good-to-go? [18:00] gvo: not in n-m. Because n-m dont see the eth0 interface [18:00] Xunie: ? also removed, so not sure ;) [18:00] I thought she said the eth0 was up. [18:00] most removed due to size limitations of a cd. [18:00] syanptic is still available and works fine [18:00] ive never herad of anyone with multiarch issues in synaptic or aptitude. [18:00] zykotick9: why was aptitude removed? Is it still barfing on multiarch? [18:00] but ive rarely heard of multiuarch issues [18:01] !info aptitude [18:01] aptitude (source: aptitude): terminal-based package manager (terminal interface only). In component main, is optional.

[18:08] yes [18:08] brokencodes, type it, take to flash key, copy over [18:08] ok i do [18:09] lisaweinfurtner: then move it to the other system and edit it and paste it to the pastebin site. [18:09] how can I make a compressed backup of a corrupted partition? [18:09] lisa, can you tell me the volume name of the USB drive? [18:09] remember linux is case sensitive [18:10] spaceloop [18:11] jola, ddrescue or dd_rescue can try to recover data from a currupoted partion to a file, you then compress [18:11] lisaweinfurtner, what is the volume name of the usb stick in the ubuntu machine? [18:11] !info ion3 [18:11] Package ion3 does not exist in oneiric [18:11] :/ [18:11] the name is spaceloop [18:11] ok [18:12] lspci -v > /media/spaceloop/lspci.txt [18:12] !info notion [18:12] Package notion does not exist in oneiric [18:12] Xunie, what are you looking for?

[18:12] or ubuntu unity to be more specific [18:12] grkblood, i have done that befor with my nvidia drivers. [18:13] grkblood, havent really tried it lately. [18:13] has there been any progress in muxless gpu switching? [18:13] grkblood, you can maximize but it doesnt behave well [18:14] grkblood, clicking anywhere in the primary will cause apps like hulu to lose focus and unmaximize [18:14] ok i have the file on my mac know [18:14] im stuck using the intel integrated gpu until gpu switching is done [18:14] grkblood, the second monitor should have the same refreshrate as the primary, and the same resolution, then it works well [18:14] Dr_willis, is the syntax the same as for dd? [18:14] lisaweinfurtner: edit it and copy the text to the clipboard. [18:14] open the file, lisaweinfurtner, and select all the text, then submit it to paste.ubuntu.com [18:14] lisaweinfurtner: Then open up the browser to the pastebin site [18:15] Follow the instructions on the site. [18:15] jola, ddrescue has similer syntax. you want to check its docs first. it has a logfile option that you do want to use. ive used it to recover several TB of data from a usb hd once. took a week... but it got 99% of the info.

[18:17] yes, that too [18:17] digitalcake htop works for me [18:17] digitalcake, gnome-system-monitor [18:17] lisaweinfurtner, save it, give us the url [18:17] looking for System -> Administration -> Services [18:17] ah got it ^^ [18:17] jola, for ntfs.. not sure. you could try just mounting the file via the loopback feature of mount and see what it can access after ddrescue has done its work.

[18:21] sudo ifup eth0 [18:21] lisaweinfurtner: Now let's look at ifconfig -a just like we did with lspci.

[18:23] StepNjump, depends on whats going to be accessing the data also. [18:23] no, no USB drive. [18:23] zykotick9: so you are saying then it's best to stick with ext4? [18:23] lisaweinfurtner, for both? [18:23] ifdown gives eth0 not configured [18:23] StepNjump, is a windows system going to be accessing the files? [18:23] StepNjump: there are many factors. Do you want to share teh drive with windows? [18:23] ok [18:24] zykotick9: Cuz at one point, I thought a whole directory got emptied but I might have moved them elsewhere. Don't remember [18:24] the job i had before this one was a total nightmare/wc [18:24] sudo ifconfig eth0 [18:24] ok multible lines as an answer [18:24] do you need them? === Mike_ is now known as Guest52519 [18:24] Dr_willis: zykotick9: Well, ideally yes... but not necessarily.... What is important for me is the safety whenever I access my files using my ubuntu [18:25] StepNjump, safty = make backups. [18:25] StepNjump, and backup the backups [18:25] Dr_willis, so I do "sudo dd_rescue -b 1M -l /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/logfile -o /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/bbfile /dev/sda2 /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/xp_C_backup", ok? [18:25] yes pls [18:25] I know... I will backup [18:25] Dr_willis: don't forget "offsite" ;) [18:25] lisaweinfurtner: Take a look at page two, last post of this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1753698&page=2 [18:25] lisaweinfurtner: See if that does anything. [18:25] jola, id have to reread the ddrescue docs.. i think ive normally used 'ddrescue' not 'dd_rescue' [18:26] but does it happen often that the data will just simply 'disapear'? Dr_willis zykotick9 [18:26] can you please try sudo ifconfig eth0 dynamic [18:26] jola, http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html [18:26] Dr_willis, I installed it with apt-get [18:26] StepNjump, i find its more likely the user will accidently delete stuff.. then the data vanishing. [18:26] i do not have windows installed on my machine [18:26] Dr_willis, there is also gddrescue, but not ddrescue [18:26] jola, ddrescue is NOT the same as 'dd_rescue' [18:27] !find ddrescue [18:27] Found: ddrescue, gddrescue [18:27] !info ddrescue [18:27] ddrescue (source: ddrescue): copy data from one file or block device to another.

[18:27] i forget [18:27] Ive only used 'ddrescue' [18:27] nothing happens [18:28] it seems dd_rescue does the same [18:28] you should have access to the internet now [18:28] so should I install gddrescue?

Version 1.14-1 (oneiric), package size 54 kB, installed size 160 kB [18:28] lisaweinfurtner, you should have access to the internet now [18:28] not sure how ddrescue differs from gddrescue [18:28] A large difference between ddrescue and dd_rescue is that dd_rescue can pipe output to STDOUT whereas ddrescue can only transfer block/file to block/file. [18:28] One example of this usage would be transfering a disk image over the network using ssh. [18:29] no i havn't [18:29] can you try ping 8.8.8.8 pls? [18:29] lisaweinfurtner, ping 8.8.8.8 [18:29] lisaweinfurtner: Do an ifconfig -a, you should see an eth0 block. Is there a inet addr:... line? [18:29] network is unreachable [18:29] Dr_willis, ok, I installed gddrescue. and now I have /sbin/ddrescue. should I now do "sudo ddrescue -b 1M -l /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/logfile -o /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/bbfile /dev/sda2 /media/Elements/backup/xp_C/xp_C_backup"? [18:29] she did that [18:29] there were multiple lines === n1c0 is now known as Guest64507 [18:30] But is there an inet addr line? [18:30] no there is no inet addr line [18:30] So she's not getting an address.

I've been asking for some help on multiple forums.. as I'm not finding any clear answers... but I am having trouble installing Ubuntu (and any linux distro) on my new build... which is a UEFI only (as far as I can tell) motherboard.. with a sandybridge-E processor. The furthest I can get on the install disk is to a failsafe grub2 menu but choosing any option the screen just goes black and I can't see anything but I can hear the disk loading stuff. Als [18:31] o I have tried numerous options I have read like nomodeset and xforcevesa and nv.modeset=0 and neauve.modeset=0 (sorry I know that's spelt wrong) and I am out of ideas ..... help... :s [18:31] ah, no, ddrescue only has the -g option [18:31] I still think we should try to manually set an ip address. [18:32] jola, ive never used 'gddrescue' the only ddrescue commands ive used are examples slightly modified from that http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html url. like ddrescue /dev/sda1 /media/sparedrive/hdimage logfile [18:32] gvo, we are assuming she knows IP addresses for her LAN [18:32] brkoencodes its doing something [18:32] We can find it out. [18:32] She's on a mac and it's probably on the same lan [18:32] and now: no dhcpoffers received [18:32] ok [18:32] Miadon, what dists have you tried and what versions of ubuntu? [18:32] we are getting somewhere [18:32] the mac is connected via wlan [18:33] Oh? [18:33] lisaweinfurtner, can you get an IP address from one of the other machines on your network? [18:33] 12.04 and archboot as they were the only distros on hand i had that could boot via uefi [18:33] The linux system dualboots windows? [18:33] both the same.. get to a failsafe grub and then black screen [18:33] lisaweinfurtner: ? [18:33] gvo, the problem is one of 3 (Sky2 driver) [18:33] no [18:33] ok [18:33] i totally earased everything on the machine and installed ubuntu [18:34] lisaweinfurtner: If you move the ethernet cable to the mac what happens? [18:34] lisaweinfurtner, can you describe the connection to your router for me please? [18:34] i can access internet with wire on the mac [18:34] as i said before [18:34] and on my windows machine as well [18:35] hi, there is a very short bash command where i can stream the error log for example of apache2 [18:35] can someone please tell me the command? ;) [18:35] lisaweinfurtner: OK so go into your windows system bring up a cmd window and type ipconfig/all [18:35] I think. [18:35] pw-toxic, like tail -f /var/log/thelogfile [18:35] lisaweinfurtner, what kind of router do you have? [18:35] tail [18:35] hm, seems like the -g option isn't needed to get a log file [18:35] Dr_willis, thanks [18:35] fritzbox [18:35] gvo, she no longer has windows [18:35] she just said she had a windows machine. [18:36] right [18:36] pw-toxic, theres color-tail tools out ther ealso to colorize log files. [18:36] lisaweinfurtner: You do or don't? [18:36] the machine we are working on WAS the windows machine [18:36] :) [18:36] ohptlabs, did you have any ideas? [18:36] i had one and know i have ubuntu [18:36] now* [18:36] s/know/now/g [18:36] Miadon, yeah but its off topic for here one sec. [18:36] lisaweinfurtner: OK so do you know how to bring up a terminal window on the mac? [18:36] pm? [18:37] give me a minute lisaweinfurtner [18:37] Is is OS X?

Is linux so weak that it corrupts the data so often? [18:40] thanks and sorry wasting your time... [18:40] StepNjump, the os dosent matter.. if your backups are imporntant.. BACK THEM UP... [18:40] lisaweinfurtner, its a simple problem, but with all the noise here, its hard to keep up [18:41] StepNjump, ive lost more data in windows then i ever have in linux. [18:41] anyone know if I can pause a process some how so I can shut put my laptop into standby till I get home [18:41] brokencodes: who you calling noise? ;) [18:41] not you [18:41] lol === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [18:41] not anyone, for that matter [18:41] its the other things going on [18:41] Dr_willis: oh ok.. that's great... [18:41] My data is very important. [18:41] I'm a disorganized schizoprenic [18:42] everything is noise to me :) [18:42] gvo pm? [18:42] brokencodes: OK [18:44] hey everybody.. anyone here knows the right direction to make an on demand storage with my server box? [18:44] i got 10 drives in it and it is a pain in the ass to turn it on and off for power saving purposes. [18:45] 'on demand storage' meaning what exactly? [18:45] You want it to power on remotely as needed? that may be a bit tough. [18:45] !list [18:45] panara: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [18:45] Most hard drives can go to sleep after so much time. so i just leave my server on all the time. [18:45] Dr_willis, exactly.. i have in on wake on lan but it is really timeconsuming to do so every time i need it.. [18:46] is there a way to play two vlc's simultaneously? [18:46] Dr_willis, doesnt it consume to much power that way.. especially since it is on a raid config with another extra two 2tb drives. [18:46] ciao [18:47] how to check where my grub is installed . On mbr or other place. Any command to see this [18:48] is there a way to check a filesystem for errors while it is mounted or unmounted both nondestructive and destructive. I have a file that gets about 3/4 the way through on a copy and then gets an error. I want to see if it is a bad spot on the HD or a corrupt file. If it is a bad spot on the HD is there a way to isolate it and lock it out. I am getting ready to move from 32 to 64 bit and am backing things up. I want to alleviate any potential problems ahea [18:48] d of time. [18:48] jiltdil, i recall 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' showd me that info once.. but be carefull with the command. You can reinstall grub to hds you dont want i recall. :) [18:48] Dr_willis, thanks [18:48] Am trying to install and upgrade to 9.04 to 9.10 but it will not let me what am I doing wrong [18:49] scott_z, i recall the 'fsarchiver' cli tool can copy/backup/verify files you may want to check into it. [18:49] tbrown, is there a message about held packages? [18:50] scott_z, i've also had the problem with older disks and just had to partition around the holes. [18:50] How to make a deb package with binaries which will basicly move to /opt/ ? [18:50] ohptlabs: how do you find the holes. [18:50] i tend to take such problem disks.. put them in usb enclosures and use them for non-critical storage. :) like the wifes videos she plays back on her Roku. [18:50] Dr_willis: thanks, i am looking into it. [18:51] scott_z, i had used the command badblocks to find out where the bad blocks were [18:51] I tryed the command line of sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and I try the update manager but I get an error saying Faild to fetch Fetching the upgrade failed. There may be a network problem. But I can connect to Google.com and do browing the web with no problem:( [18:51] a dist-upgrade will not install the next release tbrown === mh0- is now known as mh0 [18:53] Dr_willis: Am on Ubuntu 9.04 am trying to get Ubuntu 9.10 Am not trying to get the new upgrade of 12.10 or what ever that new one is [18:53] tbrown, 9.04 to 9.10 is a release upgrade also. [18:53] i'm trying to download music from the soulseek network on nicotine plus but i'd like to be able to use the upnp module but i can't locate it in the repo [18:54] Dr_willis ! [18:54] k-rAd-, ... no idea. :P [18:54] download the 9.10 iso? and upgrade? [18:54] Dr_willis, your a nice old friend of mine [18:54] ;P do i owe you money? ;P === k-rAd- is now known as avis [18:55] Miadon: So you guys are saying that ubuntu 9.04 will not upgrade [18:55] nope. you helped me put my soul at ease. [18:57] I never upgrade ;) clean installs are much cleaner. [18:57] cant really imagine why you would want 9.10 either. [18:57] !9.04 [18:58] Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:58] !9.10 [18:58] Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. [18:58] Can anyone recommend a really good wifi card for ubuntu? [18:58] wrostek, usb or pci? [18:58] pci [18:59] wrostek, i just checked amazon and their reviews till i found one people claimed worked fine in ubuntu/linux :) [18:59] wrostek, but these were usb. $8 each. [18:59] !hardware | wrostek [18:59] wrostek: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [19:00] problem with 'works in ubuntu' type lists - is often the hardware that works.. is no longer for sale. [19:00] Im running ubuntu 10.04, is there a way I can combine hard drives to 1 partition? [19:00] urbancommando: have you looked at lvm [19:00] thanks [19:00] urbancommando, theres software raids and lvm. but why do you need to? you could mount the 2nd hd to some location on the first.. [19:02] Dr_willis: urbancommando Then there's the problem of the boot partition on lvm if you only have one partion. [19:03] anyone.. i have installed Aptana on my ubuntu 11.10 and have installed apache2, in [19:03] wrostec, Dlink DWA-552 [19:03] the reason why I want to raid it or lvm it is because im not sure how to access the 2nd hd other by using gui and im trying to stay way from gui [19:03] Aptana i have set the default webservwer as apache but still not able to preview [19:03] http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHKZ_enUS434US434&q=Dlink+PCI+Wifi+adapter&ion=1&um=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1344&bih=724&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=15290734706775720007&sa=X&ei=xMmJT9yeF6jq2AXnhJnICQ&ved=0CHwQ8wIwAA [19:04] can you give me an example how to access it through command line? [19:04] urbancommando: what do you want to do with it? [19:04] urbancommando: all you have to do is format the drive to the proper format, move the files in the target destination to the new drive then add a mount line if fstab to have the drive mount to the chosen location at boot. [19:05] urbancommando, time to learn how to mount drives.. much easier then trying to fight with lvm. :) [19:05] wrostek, AR5008 driver built into kernel since 2.6.11 [19:05] !mount | urbancommando [19:05] urbancommando: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [19:05] gentlemen I am confused. If ubuntu 12.04 will have a gnome classic session, does that mean it will use gnome 2, which isn't developed anymore? Or will it use MATE or a modified gnome 3.2? [19:05] lol [19:05] the hd is already mount it [19:06] Zer000, it will use gnome-fallback [19:06] can anyone help me on Aptana issue?? [19:06] but how do i access it with command line [19:06] wrostek, its an atheros AR5008, works great with Ubuntu [19:06] urbancommando: Again what do you want to do with it? [19:06] and its inexpensive [19:06] gnome-fallback = gnome3 with a classic-style interface [19:06] urbancommando: what's the mount point? [19:07] dlentz: ah ok thanks [19:07] hey thanks broken codes, do you use that one? [19:07] no, but I researched it for you [19:08] its #5 on Google shopping's popular network cards [19:08] https://www.google.com/search?tbm=shop&tbs=cat:290,pdtr0:709607%7C709609&q=network%20card&ei=y8mJT_aYEOiosQehvvmSDw&ved=0CAYQtw4&hl=en [19:08] Ok, thanks, that looks like the one I'm getting.. awesome [19:08] wrostek, i like my netgear wna-1100 (works automatically on Linux >= 2.6.35), but it is usb and "only" 150N [19:08] I also thought the price was nice for an N device [19:08] urbancommando, you make your fstab entry mount it whever you want it to be. by default things auto mount to /media/whatever on first access [19:09] ugh never mind stupid me its really easy [19:09] ya, the WNA-1100 is a beast [19:09] urbancommando: you could dedicate the entire drive to /home . In that case you would copy the enitre contents of /home to the new drive, rename the old /home to sat /home.old (don't delete it until you know everything worked). Thean add a line to /etc/fstab something like UUID=f2c91c11-3d19-464d-9978-23b1b43fe229 /home ext4 defaults 0 2 [19:09] *sat = say [19:10] I need to read up on fstab [19:10] ty all [19:10] say i want to copy over an entire filesystem into some folder. is sudo cp -r the fastest way to do this, or would some dd command work better? [19:11] copy, or move? [19:11] change timezone in shell [19:11] brokencodes: either way. it's on an external hard drive [19:11] mv is the fastest [19:11] Aptana!!!..ples help someine [19:11] but cpy leave the old behind [19:11] hu: is it for a backup? [19:11] brokencodes: that shouldn't matter if they're on separate drives. [19:11] wylde: yes [19:12] hu: you could use rsync [19:12] wylde: well, moreso that i want to wipe this drive afterwards [19:12] that too [19:12] or fsarchiver to verify the copy === bryan is now known as Guest22083 [19:12] wylde: is rsync still the correct option? [19:12] rsync will follow the filesystem and you can restart if you need to stop [19:12] I need small help correcting a small problem while running update in terminal [19:12] hu: then you can do incremental backups afterwards which is MUCH faster. [19:12] wylde, Dr_willis, ok the mount point is media/2nd_Storage but I'm assuming the best way is it add a line in /etc/fstab correct? [19:12] wylde: i have no need for incremental backups [19:12] urbancommando, if you want it mounted at boot.. yes. [19:12] hu: so you're only backing up this once? [19:13] gotcha tyvm [19:13] hu, rsync would be the best option if you want to be able to resume [19:13] wylde: i'm wiping the drive once i'm done [19:13] then mv === Guest22083 is now known as BryGuy71Z [19:13] hu, how big a hd? === as456fgt is now known as dury [19:13] hu: what brokencodes said. [19:13] Dr_willis: it has about 12GB on it, but it's a 750GB drive. hence why i want to repurpose it :D [19:13] hu: but with mv if the proess gets interrupted you have a risk of lost data [19:14] process* [19:14] wylde: that's fine [19:14] id copy, then clean the old... [19:14] wylde, not, because it does not do the delete untill the second pass [19:14] ciao [19:14] but id use mc so i can watch its progress also. :) [19:14] guys, tell me where to find advanced word list for wlan WPA cracking?? [19:14] brokencodes: ahh alright. Good to know, thanks. :) [19:14] 12gb shouldent take too long to copy [19:14] rfictus: not here, that's not really ontopic for this channel. [19:14] depends on the file sizes, Dr_willis [19:15] liste [19:15] if its 12gb of really imporntant stuff. :) id store them online also. [19:15] 2M 2KB files will take forever,and would be < 12GB [19:15] http://pastebin.com/1JWKbJSZ [19:16] is there a way to install an older package in apt? [19:16] !pin | kantlivelong [19:16] kantlivelong: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:16] i was looking for using wine 1.5.1 instead of wine 1.5.2 [19:16] I personally like squashfs for backups, can do an entire filesystem compressed with xz and preserve xattrs. Not to mention recovering a file is as easy as mounting the file as a loop device. [19:17] i tend to use redundant stacks of external usb hard drives. :) [19:17] * jiltdil Had a bad experience with wine [19:17] >hic< [19:17] not to mention, wylde, that you can add it to fstab, without a problem, only problem is the filesystem cannot grow [19:17] hi there all :) [19:17] Should a feature request be filed as a bug report? [19:17] no [19:17] no [19:17] oh and you can export the compressed filesystem over the netowrk any way you like as well. [19:17] should be filed as a feature request [19:18] Hi im running dual boot with Windows 7, so how could i access my windows files from Ubuntu? [19:18] brokencodes: you can add files to the filesystem using the same command you created it with :) [19:18] AngrySpam, using wubi or a normnal install? [19:18] AngrySpam, ntfs-3g or fuse [19:18] brokencodes: and if you want to get real fancy you can add unionfs to make it seem like a RW filesystem. :) [19:18] I think wubi, but im not great with coputers [19:18] Please let me know how to correct my problem [19:18] AngrySpam: just mount them, or if u r using kde, double click the drive in left column :) [19:19] AngrySpam: generally you can just access them through nautilus. i think the major ubuntu variants come with ntfs drivers these days, don't they? [19:19] Debolaz, if it's a specific, well-defined request, you report it like a bug and it gets marked "wish list". if it's more general use something like ubuntu brainstorm [19:19] AngrySpam, you can open Places, and see them right there [19:19] BryGuy71Z: please tell ur problem again [19:19] dlentz: Its fairly specific, I want a layout for mac keyboards. [19:19] one at a time, im confused :/ [19:19] I just have soem errors while doing an update through terminal [19:19] wubi has its host drive allready mounted some where... /SOMTHING [19:19] i cant remmber how to fix it, been too long [19:19] http://pastebin.com/1JWKbJSZ [19:19] dlentz: As part of the system, instead of something I have to wedge in manually. [19:20] How do i mount them? [19:20] by clicking them in Places [19:20] AngrySpam, Read fstab for permanent mount or just you can mount temproraliy by using mount command ... Read manuals [19:20] are there any ubuntu releases that still use a gnome 2.0-like gui? is xubuntu closest? [19:20] AngrySpam, if you are using wubi. its allready mounted to some location in / i think its /host or similer. it should appear in the file manager left side panel i belive [19:21] AngrySpam, or by clicking it you can also mount it [19:21] is there any shortcut to move a window to another display (not desktop) in xfce? [19:21] hu: lucid is gnome2, but xfce is probably your best bet [19:21] hu: gnome 2 is dead, no longer developed. [19:21] I thought, hu , that you can still use Gnome classic/2.0 on ubuntu 11.10/12.04 [19:21] just log off and select gnome classic [19:21] it doesn't come by default any more [19:21] oh, i have it somehow [19:21] that was only on the first release since unity [19:21] i just googled it i think and installed the repositories [19:22] * jiltdil Installing ubuntu 12.04 at this time.. [19:22] hu I think that's the reason for the surge in Mint's popularity [19:22] BryGuy71Z: that's gnome 3 with fallback shell. [19:22] then installed gnome-classic [19:22] oh ok [19:22] BryGuy71Z, "gnome classsic" is not gnome2, it is gnome3 with gnome2-style interface [19:22] gvo: but mint also switched into some disaster recently [19:22] well its still a gnome 2 gui isnt it [19:22] indeed [19:22] isnt that all hu wanted [19:22] is anyone here into rafting? [19:22] gnome2 uses older libc, older dbus, older lots of stuff, and is all depricated [19:22] hu, there are two versions of ntfs drivers -- the in kernel read only driver, and the slower userspace ntfs-3g driver with write capability [19:22] !ot | jenkinsd [19:22] hu 11 still works. [19:22] jenkinsd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:22] gvo: yep. that's what i'm using now [19:23] hu Mate is supposedly OK === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:23] Debian works REALLY WELL [19:23] does anyone have an opinion on slackware, or mint? [19:24] BryGuy71Z, if they do what you need.. use what you need.. if not.. dont... [19:24] garbage, useless, unless you like small systems, or have an outdated machine, BryGuy71Z [19:24] Ubuntu does most all those 2 cover. [19:24] innnteresting [19:24] BryGuy71Z: mint 11 is nice [19:24] so its all about your needs. [19:24] This may sound stupid but where the fudge is file manager :( [19:24] thats what i heard [19:25] ubuntu best distro for people that normally use windows [19:25] AngrySpam, whenever you double click on a folder, and can move files around.. you are in the file manager [19:25] ya, btu i hate windows [19:25] but [19:25] OH xD [19:25] AngrySpam, terminal | gnome-open . [19:25] or [19:25] AngrySpam: nautilus [19:25] terminal | gnome-open ~ [19:25] nautilus [19:26] whoops [19:26] accomplishes same thing [19:26] AngrySpam, Use sudo nautilus [19:26] anyone think they can help me out? [19:26] http://pastebin.com/1JWKbJSZ [19:26] gnome-open is like windows START.EXE [19:26] umm, no [19:26] gksu nautilus would be more effective [19:27] Hello there! [19:27] Hi! [19:27] ive seen people break things badly with a root running nautilus. :) [19:27] BryGuy71Z: #ubuntu+1 for precise issues [19:27] is there any shortcut to move a window to another display (not desktop) in xfce? [19:27] I'm here because I'm trying to install ubuntu on an old laptop [19:27] compiz used to have a plugin to put (root) in any title of a window running as root... [19:27] and I'm getting a top menu bar, white background and no windows are showing [19:27] i7c, you mean to a 2nd monitor? [19:28] I tried logging off and switching to unity 2d, but it doesn't seem to switch to it [19:28] or maybe unity 2d is failing, not sure [19:28] but I can't even see the install window or anything [19:28] Dr_willis: exactly. [19:28] any ideas? [19:28] yes [19:28] shazzner [19:29] shazzner, how old is 'old' ? ;) whats the specs [19:29] Dr_willis: i have two screens and it's annoying to switch to the mouse everytime a window appears on the wrong display.

[19:52] i have to type most of your name anywyas though lol [19:52] zykes-, is in here [19:52] so [19:52] it looks like ubuntu thinks I have proper 3d support and it's booting into unity 3d [19:53] so I get a top menu bar, but the unity bar is invisible, no windows show up, and the background is white [19:53] setting a GRUB_GFXMODE didn't help [19:53] I tried logging out and selecting unity 2d, but it doesn't seem to select it [19:54] just defaults to 3d :/ [19:54] shazzner: what graphics card are you using? [19:54] some laptop nvidia geforce garbage [19:55] let me grab the full specs [19:55] shazzner: "lspci | grep -i vga" in terminal would tell you [19:55] NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 [19:56] I can't get to terminal, or anything on that laptop :( [19:56] just a field of white [19:56] does ctrl+alt+F2 still work?

How can I set it so that when I log in through ssh, ssh-agent still starts? [20:05] lotus, do you have ssh agent forwarding enabled? [20:06] lotus: do you really need ssh-agent on the remote machine? [20:06] im back.. i was able to set my new harddrive as /home [20:07] but I noticed one thing.... :( my home folder is not named correctly.. can someone tell me how to properly change it? not sure if im suppose to use usermod or ...

[20:11] dalek_: bad news, apt can only upgrade - the scripts are all one way... good luck. [20:12] damnit! [20:12] guntbert: yes, I need it for git push [20:12] dalek_: are you using a PPA by chance (for totem?). If so, there is ppa-purge [20:12] escott: I'm not sure, how do I check? [20:12] escott: also, what is ssh agent forwarding? [20:12] zykes-, I don't think so [20:13] zykotick9, I don't think so [20:13] dalek_: "apt-cache policy totem" and check the URL that it's coming from. Is is a PPA? [20:13] lotus: the usual way is to enable ssh-agent forwarding with ssh -A , then the key you use to connect to the first server will be presented to the next one as well [20:14] lotus, to be honest i dont really know what it does, just throwing out a thing to check [20:15] <__Alex_> Is there a way i can mount a UFS USB stick with a GPT table in Ubuntu? [20:19] I wish know how i can make a usb bootable ubuntu, I don't refer to a live version, I refer to a full installation, its posible? [20:19] guntbert: what if ssh-agent is not running on the machine I'm ssh-ing into? [20:19] there is some problem with the file system ? [20:19] kalrak: just install to the USB? [20:20] lotus: that's what ssh-agent-forwarding is for: you forward ssh-agent-requests over your ssh connection to your local agent [20:20] SunTsu: <3 ! [20:20] lotus: no need, ssh itself provides the forwarding [20:20] lotus: guntbert told you that quite some time ago ;) [20:20] guntbert & SunTsu & escott: thank you so much. [20:20] oh, I didn't see :P [20:21] lotus: but beware, configuration needs to allow it === Someguy123 is now known as Someguy123[afk] [20:21] <__Alex_> kalrak: I got it once working, i loaded the mini.iso to the USB stick using the cat command, booted it, selected the USB stick as where i wanted to install (had to make a new partition table), once installed, i had to choose LiLo as my bootloader, and it booted Ubuntu! [20:21] zykotick9: yes, a full instalation, not a live version [20:21] SunTsu: Configuration on the client or on the server being connected to? I can access either :P [20:21] kalrak: right, just point the installer to install to your USB instead of HD. [20:22] zykotick9: thanks [20:22] lotus: both, your server needs to allow it, your local client needs to request forwarding [20:23] <__Alex_> kalrak: IDK why, but GRUB gave me error messages, but LiLo worked, so all's right.

Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [20:24] SunTsu: Okay, I can request forwarding with ssh -A and then I can just edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add a line or somesuch? I'm googling to find the ssh config line right now. Thank you for your help. [20:24] wylde: i know this ... but this pc never updated so there's no package to select and use that download script [20:24] lotus: er, why googling when there's a man page for sshd_config? [20:24] zykotick9: i have archlinux on this one ... [20:24] SunTsu: found it :) it's ssh_config I needed to edit [20:25] Bersam: good luck - i have no suggestions.

[20:32] thank's [20:32] What is the command that I need to use to make a drive bootable to ubuntu? [20:33] rinzler, there is not command to make it bootable, it either is bootable or it isn't. what is the problem you are having [20:34] hi there [20:34] I am reviving a dormant PC that ran Ubuntu 10.04LTS. Before upgrading, I installed the recommended updates, some of which failed to install. Then it just hung in the bugfix report script. So I downloaded the current ver. 11.1 64 bit on another machine and burned it to CD and tried to boot to the CD, but it won't. The BIOS is set to look first to the CD drive but it doesn't recognize the bootable CD and flips over to the corrupt 10.4 [20:34] <__Alex_> rinzler:iirc, dd if=bootcode.bin of=/dev/GEOM bs=512 count=1, where bootcode.bin is your bootcode, and /dev/GEOM is your devide name [20:34] any ideas??? [20:34] rinzler: "Make a drive bootable" is not a clear goal. Do you want to have an entire Ubuntu installation on this drive, do you want to stick a bootloader there which will load Ubuntu from another drive, do you want a LiveUSB of Ubuntu which can itself be used to boot Ubuntu's installer? [20:35] vexaxv: first of all: get rid of those extra question marks ;) [20:35] SunTsu, eh.. [20:35] <__Alex_> *device name [20:35] im opening up the printer section of gnome-control--center adn i cant seem to click "add printer" [20:35] any ideas? trying to get something printed [20:35] I want to boot and install from a CD. [20:35] so does anyone know how to get better fps in games on linux (native) is it opengl or the drivers? [20:35] vexaxv: second: Did you try some opengl benchmarks to see if your performance is OK? [20:36] SunTsu, to be honest i havent and i dont know of any off the top of my head could u recommend some? [20:36] Alright, I need libc6-dev:i386 to be installed to compile this program I have, however, installing that results in apt-get removing gcc (amd64). [20:36] vexaxv: glgears should do as a first glance [20:36] So, how do I resolve this? [20:36] BryanRuiz, are you a member of lpadmin group? (type `groups` in terminal). you can also try browsing to http://localhost:631 and trying to set things up there [20:36] SunTsu, first glance? is it a good benchmark? [20:36] zykotick9, I removed a ppa, uninstalled totem and tried to re-install... now it won't install at all - http://paste.ubuntu.com/930078/ [20:36] escott: great thanks, let me give that a shot [20:37] Jordan_U: Restoring entire partition's contents to new drive using déjà dup after boot drive failure, and i just want to make sure my computer will boot to it... [20:37] vexaxv: no, it's not, but it would show you if opengl was seriously broken with your card to begin with [20:37] dalek_: did you use ppa-purge to remove the ppa? [20:37] SunTsu, k so what do i use after that for a good benchmark? [20:38] rinzler: Then follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot [20:38] Jordan_U: Thanks! [20:38] <__Alex_> rinzler: If you want to install GRUB on the drive, this command use: "grub-install --no-floppy --root-directory="/path/to/where/USB/stick/is/mounted" /dev/GEOM", and then create a /path/to/where/USB/stick/is/mounted/boot/grub.cfg with your boot options [20:38] rinzler: You're welcome. [20:38] isnt this how I add myself to a group? $ sudo usermod -G lp bryan [20:38] BryanRuiz, -a -a -a !!!! must have -a [20:39] BryanRuiz: you just removed yourself from all other groups if you ran that! [20:39] zykotick9, er... no. I removed with software sources app. [20:39] did i screw it up escott :-p [20:39] rinzler: You may also need to edit /etc/fstab to update the UUIDs, depending on how exactly Déjà Dup works. [20:39] crap [20:39] dalek_: bad idea probably... i can't help you further sorry. [20:39] vexaxv: there's plenty: http://www.opengl.org/resources/benchmarks/ [20:39] i thought the captial G means append [20:39] !ppa-purge | dalek_ [20:39] dalek_: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:39] Hi, before I upgraded my ubuntu, I manually installed a newer version of transmission manually. (Probably by running a makefile). Now that I upgraded, what is the best way to remove the unpackaged version of transmission? [20:39] Somefellow, make uninstall === Guest30745 is now known as moruk [20:40] BryanRuiz, yeah if you forgot the -a then you are going to have to boot a livecd or boot to rescue to be able to add yourself back to the admin group [20:40] Somelauw, ^^ :) [20:40] Okay, so ppa-purge transmission-gtk? [20:40] im still part of root and group is working escott [20:40] SunTsu, thanks [20:40] err i mean sudo [20:40] Somelauw, make uninstall will work if you still have the source directory [20:40] BryanRuiz: are you using debian? [20:40] no, ubuntu [20:41] BryanRuiz: ubuntu uses admin, not sudo group... [20:41] uses admin for what zykotick9, the printer group? [20:41] BryanRuiz: oh, are you using 12.04? [20:41] i just installed 12.04 beta, installed gnome panel, rebooted and now i cant move or resize windows [20:41] i only see file menus [20:41] no title bars [20:41] zykotick9: i dont think so [20:41] BryanRuiz: admin allows sudo access [20:41] anyone how the hell this happened? [20:41] Kaco: Maybe it was a ppa, since I can't find the makefile anymore, I'll take a look at /etc/sources.list [20:42] zykotick9: i added myself to sudoers [20:42] vexaxv: there's more, apt-get should offer you some options [20:42] !12.04 | martman [20:42] martman: 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 [20:42] zykotick9: but ill keep in mind [20:42] thanks [20:42] BryanRuiz: i see. [20:42] I use xubuntu.... can I still chat here? [20:42] Okay, I found it, it was actually a ppa. [20:43] ....yea i dont think thats a real channel [20:43] SunTsu, im downloading specviewperf [20:43] doktah: yes. any official distro can get support here (or in the specialized channels) [20:43] so has aynone solved the reverberating sound you get while using flash? [20:43] <__Alex_> doktah: Yes, since Xubuntu is jsut Ubuntu with different packages installed as default [20:43] cool [20:43] I didn't know that [20:44] is this a help channel? [20:44] <__Alex_> doktah: Of course [20:44] But they are commented. [20:45] j [20:45] Actually, I don't know whether I am using the ppa or the ubuntu-repository version? How can I check? [20:45] how do i find my free ram on through terminal?

[20:47] <__Alex_> paulo_: Not if you have SWAP [20:47] paulo_, how much is used for cache look at the free+cache line [20:47] is specviewerperf a good opengl benchmark guys [20:47] well I installed a live image of gnome onto the flash drive but when I restart with flash drive inserted it will not install gnome. do I need to select a boot device if so how do i do it?

[20:49] thanks. [20:49] escott: maybe im wrong, and its not running [20:49] BryanRuiz, if you can access the web server on 631 it must be running [20:49] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: If you want to boot a Live GNOME OS, you have to A: choose your boot device to be the USB stick, or B: Change your boot order to check USB sticks before hard drives [20:49] Hi there [20:50] k [20:50] alex, how do I select the boot device to a usb stick? [20:51] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: It warries from BIOS to BIOS. It is ussually the F12 key [20:51] I wanted to install something from an ubuntu LiveUSB, and as such use gparted to check/correct stuff about my current partition table [20:51] when should I press F12 [20:51] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: Many BIOSes don't even support this finction. I recommand changing the boot order, it's easier [20:51] how? [20:51] However the display is all messed up (two of the partitions are merged together, and the 3rd is shown as unallocated) [20:51] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: In BIOS [20:52] what is it how to I get there how do I do it? [20:52] Is there somehow i can install proper NTFS support ? Because i did create those with gparted on a LiveUSB last year, and it worked fine [20:52] hello guys, how can i view hidden files n folders? [20:52] Xtreme: there are no hidden files [20:52] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: On most computers, spamming the key once the computer is at it's initial screen will take you to the BIOS settings [20:52] Xtreme: ctrl+h in nautilus, or "ls -a" in terminal [20:53] initial screen? [20:53] SunTsu: things starting with . are hidden [20:53] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: Yes [20:53] and for dolphine?? kde explorer? [20:53] Xtreme: I wouldn't know. [20:53] ok ill try, any risks? [20:53] zykotick9: which is merely a convention, and it depends on what you use to view the directory listing [20:54] fu---- looks like it's just my partition table being completely broken [20:54] alex: any risks? [20:54] fira: gpart can recover lost partitions [20:55] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: There is one, you can mess up your Boot order, but it's no big deal [20:55] really? [20:55] i'll trynow thanks alot [20:55] i'll have a look [20:55] <__Alex_> jacquesmartin: Np [20:55] fira: really, it scans the disk for partitions and offers them so you can add them back into the partition table [20:55] the data itself is all okay, the thing boots and gets recognized okay on win, but anything else show the table as broken [20:56] kk [20:56] what was the name of the alternative flash player that can be used in my web browser? [20:56] escott: i found this: printers-cc-panel-WARNING **: Your system does not have the cups-pk-helper's policy "org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit" installed. Please check your installation [20:58] BryanRuiz, thats something policykit related i wouldnt worry about it [20:58] escott: that is why i cant install a printer though, isnt it? [20:59] BryanRuiz, the fact that you dont have an lpadmin group confuses me. im not sure what to advise. what version of the OS is this [20:59] escott: 11.04 from an upgrade [20:59] i think it was flashvideoreplacer [20:59] escott: i could of screwed something up though [21:00] but it seems Chromium does not support it [21:00] physically_fit, there are a couple open source flash version, gnash is one [21:01] escott, will it work embedded? will i be able to watch youtube, for example? [21:01] escott, will it work with Chromium? [21:02] physically_fit, maybe not chromium now that they have their own plugin architecture [21:02] escott, ok, thanks for the feedback. [21:04] hello room [21:08] escott, i renamed my flash (the .so file) and now youtube uses HTML5, at least i don't get the reverberating sound, but html5 crashes very often in chromium. [21:09] zykotick9, ok.. I re-installed the ppa, then ppa-purged it, now totem re-installed properly and this time it works. Thanks. [21:11] the source "ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3" is the root of all evil - that was the cause of totem not working after yesterday's software update. Grrrrrr >:( [21:12] dalek_: why are you using a ppa for gnome3? [21:12] does anyone know of a way to prevent a shell from hanging when trying to work on a directory that has a mounted directory that may have disconnected? for instance `ls /mnt/` when an nfs mount has gone away... doing this, i can't even Ctrl-C it to close, im forced to close the terminal [21:13] auronandace, I can't recall... something I did weeks ago suggested I needed that ppa for something. I don't remember why. [21:13] dalek_: ppas cause all sorts of problems, as you no doubt have noticed [21:13] auronandace, indeed. [21:14] hello [21:14] kerim: greetings [21:14] oin [21:16] zivester: There is no way to avoid that in general. You could mount the nfs share with the soft option and with the nointr option.

Because someone just pasted 10 lines to me, and I wish to use these [21:44] Bodsda: specifically, these: https://github.com/nanotech/jellybeans.vim/blob/master/ansi-term-colors.txt [21:44] bekks: is it not as stable? [21:44] playuo: they are just generic colour codes - name, rgb value and hex value [21:44] I have ubuntu 11.10 . However I need to downgrade my gcc from 4.5 to 4.4. How do i go about this? [21:45] Bodsda: so I should manually set them by going to Edit > Profile Preference, youŕe saying? [21:45] playuo: yeah, you can then set whatever colours you want. [21:45] I'm looking for some suggested best methods for debugging grub blank screen syndrome [21:45] mouth1: I just said that it is as stable as other settings - and yes, the settings you chose are stable settings. [21:46] javaholic: shotgun approach, reinstall grub? [21:46] bekks: ok thanks [21:46] is there any bios setting that can make ubuntu not be stable anymore? [21:46] mouth1: no [21:47] ok thanks guys! [21:47] i had to set power mode to s3, ahci and HPET 64bit to make mac os x boot [21:47] mouth1: there are settings that can damage your hardware though [21:47] and now i want to install ubuntu and was wondering if these settings are still right [21:47] which can Bodsda ? [21:47] mouth1: they will be fine [21:48] mouth1: Again, "yes". :) [21:48] mouth1: easiest way to fry your hardware, overclock your CPU's and turn temperature failsafes off [21:48] ah ok [21:48] i didn't do that [21:48] i did :( [21:48] oh snap... [21:50] do you know of a a good reference that explains the grub reinstall process? [21:51] javaholic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [21:52] will boot-repair from a LiveDVD do the job i want have i read that right? === bryan is now known as Guest66619 [21:53] javaholic: I don't know what you have read, but I do know that the link I gave you works === Guest66619 is now known as BryGuy71Z [21:54] How would I install ubuntu to an external hd so i can boot from it? im on a live flashdrive atm [21:54] ^^ I pretty much have the same question [21:55] bkaaa: during the installer, just point it to the external drive. The process is exactly the same [21:55] Mongey: Then pretty much ask it please :) [21:55] I tried that but when it boots it just shows a black screen with a blinking input line [21:55] i just read that you have to set the HPET mode in BIOS accordingly to the bit of the OS? in my case that would be ubuntu 32 bit, right? 32 bit is the recommended [21:55] again i just set this to 64 bit for mac os x to boot [21:56] mouth1: Unless you have a goo reason for installing 32Bit only, install the 64Bit version. [21:56] *good [21:56] why is the 32 bit version "recommended" then on ubuntu.com? :/ [21:56] bekks: care to give reasons for that advice [21:56] I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a partition on my second drive. I have windows on a ssd which is my primary drive [21:57] bkaaa: are you sure it is booting the external drive [21:57] Bodsda: In the last 10 years, I havent seen an issue with 64Bit Linux :) [21:57] ok [21:57] <__Alex_> mouth1: It's recommanded because not all packages are ported to amd64. Most are [21:57] bekks: ... ok, that statement pretty much sums up the validity of your advice. one word "flash" [21:57] finally got ubuntu installed on this pos laptop [21:58] I installed it but when I try to boot to the second drive I get an error from grub like "GRUB error: unknown filesystem, grub rescue" [21:58] mouth1: how much ram do you have? [21:58] Bodsda: Worked fine here. Another word: "multilib". [21:58] 4GB and an intel i3 cpu [21:58] however, it's primary screen is broken and it didn't autoswitch to the secondary monitor [21:58] Mongey: we will need the exact error please [21:58] Bodsda: Yeah, I selected it from bios. the 8gb live usb boots fine though. i selected use entire disk and did automated install on the hd. [21:58] so I'm staring at two blank screens :( [21:58] <__Alex_> mouth1: Use the amd64 version [21:58] mouth1: then I'd go 64bit. At least I do with my boxes [21:58] any way I can force it to clone to the second monitor? [21:59] why amd64? [21:59] does it matter that i have an intel cpu? [21:59] mouth1: no [21:59] bekks: we could get into the whole 32vs64 argument, or we could just agree that you said 10 years when you should have said 2 and leave it there. [21:59] I installed broadcom STA drivers through jockey, and the wlan worked correctly but after restart it was disabled. Doing rmmod ssb and modprobe wl, the wlan starts to work again. So the problem is that the right kernel modules do not "stick". Any help? [21:59] mouth1: amd64 is the architecture. Intel took the one amd built [22:00] Bodsda: I still say 10y. [22:00] 11Whatever you might think about that. [22:00] your wrong then, but whatever [22:01] <__Alex_> mouth1: amd64 is the Architecture name, not the brand name [22:01] ok thanks [22:02] Do i need to partiton the external or use advanced install? [22:02] ok so my error is just error: unknown filesystem [22:02] Mongey, what FS are you using [22:03] EXT4 on the ubuntu partiition [22:03] bkaaa: you shouldn't need to no. I would guess the problem is with the bootloader. Did you say you selected the boot device from the bios menu, and then didn't get a grub prompt, or you booted as normal and selected the new install from the grub prompt, and then got nothing? [22:03] NTFS on the other partition [22:03] Mongey: when do you see that error? [22:04] Bodsda: when I try to boot [22:04] right after I select it in the boot menu [22:04] Mongey: be specific. When you press eneter after highlighting an entry from grub? [22:04] ok [22:04] i selected it from bios and then didnt get grub. just a black screen with flashing line [22:05] Mongey: get back to the grub prompt, highlight the entry, press 'e' and maybe 'e' again, can't remember. Either way you should end up seeing the exact boot line that it uses. This will list either the partition name like /dev/sda1 or the uuid - note down whatever that is, then reboot into a working system and check the filesystem of that volume [22:05] when i select the 8gb usb in bios it just boots straight to it though [22:06] bkaaa: thats because the bootloader is installed on the usb stick. You'll need to install grub to the external drive, or one of your internal drives [22:06] Bodsda: ooh i see. I thought it installed grub as well to the external. [22:07] bkaaa: hmm, I can' be certain - it may have just added an entry to your usb sticks grub menu [22:08] Bodsda: Sorry, I don't get to a grub screen, I select my second drive from my bios and then "error:unknown filesystem \n grub rescue>" comes up. [22:08] I am recruiting software engineers to a collaborative development company. Anyone interested? [22:09] hi there [22:09] Can anyone please translate "setfacl -Rm u:www-data:rwx logs" and "setfacl -Rm u:www-data:rx pydocs" with the equivalent chmod commands? [22:09] So i should install grub to it then run the ubuntu installer? [22:09] Mongey: ooo, thats weird. I think its gonna be a reinstall of grub, or at least a manual change to the grub conf file. See if this link helps http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/grub-error-unknown-filesystem-grub-rescue-781125/ [22:09] I am recruiting software engineers to a collaborative development company.

[22:10] thanks [22:10] Joestar79, i dont think there are equivalent chmod commands. its maybe closest to having multiple "groups" associated with a single file [22:10] bkaaa: just install grub to the external drive. Follow the same methodology for 'reinstalling grub after windows removes it' type guides [22:11] Bodsda: Alright. Thanks ill give it a try. [22:13] escott: those are directories [22:13] I tried with chmod and chgrp but doesn't seem to get the same result [22:13] Joestar79, file directory, whats the difference === szal_ is now known as szal [22:14] Joestar79, it won't acl's allow you to have multiple users or multiple groups owning a single file.

[22:35] you selected "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" [22:35] ? [22:36] brb [22:36] compdoc: Yeah, that's one of the things I did. I can't find the other page that I was using, that reduced the requirements of password security. [22:36] wylde: I've tried the key combination that should switch monitors, doesn't work though :/ [22:37] shazzner: or you can do what I did with an old dell laptop. I physically removed the broken screen from the laptop and it then defaulted to the external display. [22:37] wylde: ha, I'm not sure I'm at that point yet but I'll add that to my list of options [22:38] wylde: the problem is, everything works ok on the livecd. I don't know why it would suddenly turn off the second display once I booted in proper [22:38] shazzner: other than the key combo and removing the broken screen that's all the ideas I have atm. [22:38] :( [22:38] shazzner: I think the live cd mirrors all displays by default [22:39] shazzner: but once installed it will only work on what the system thinks is the primary display [22:39] shazzner: at least until comfigured differently [22:39] configured* [22:40] hello! [22:41] can somebody help me please?

[23:03] _pHI_: highest rate gives less flicker and is easier on the eyes. [23:04] <_pHI_> wylde: thanks! i guess i wsa just confused if this (still) holds for LCDs in general... [23:04] _pHI_: generally you can go with the highest listed. You only have to down rate it if it's causing issues. [23:04] <_pHI_> ok great [23:04] d(o_0)b [23:05] <_pHI_> on DVI i'm limited to 60Hz it seems, on VGA plug i can go up to 75Hz [23:05] ! ask | ox1de [23:05] ox1de: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[23:06] Back [23:06] compdoc, you still afk? [23:06] _pHI_, you should just use dvi. you dont know what the lcd is doing, can the panel actually support a 75Hz refresh? [23:06] ox1de: I honestly don't know if you can fix that issue outside of a re-install. I'm not positive though. [23:07] <_pHI_> escott: xrandr is reporting 75 on vga (and i'm using that) and 60hz on dvi.... [23:07] _pHI_, but the vga signal could be downconverted. going vga means you are converting digital->analog->digital. and you dont know what is happening in that last conversion [23:08] so i'm toast eh [23:08] :( [23:08] <_pHI_> escott: i guess i don't know... [23:08] compdoc : I figured it out! I had a homegroup set up that messed it all up. [23:08] <_pHI_> escott: but my laptop only has vga out [23:08] b14d3, cool :) [23:08] <_pHI_> i guess i'm asking if 60hz vs 75 hz on vga will make a difference [23:08] <_pHI_> escott: the panel is advertized as supporting 75hz on vga [23:08] <_pHI_> so i guess i'll set that [23:09] ox1de: I juust don't know of any way to fix that problem. Get another opinion I would say. [23:09] _pHI_, send the best analog signal you can send, just know there is a converter going back to digital before it gets displayed. just because you send 75Hz doesn't mean it will display 75Hz is my point [23:10] <_pHI_> escott: ah ok! good to know. thanks! === dleonard1 is now known as dleonardi [23:11] _pHI_, i thought you were deciding between using a dvi cable which advertised 60Hz and an analog advertising 75Hz and I would say pick the digital, but if its analog vs analog go for the highest numbers [23:12] <_pHI_> ok thanks, i'll do that! ;) [23:12] <_pHI_> have a great WE [23:13] hi wylde permafrost=nocturnus [23:15] wylde the ethernet doesn't works yet... :( === miguel is now known as Guest29001 [23:23] permafrost: :( [23:23] was afk [23:25] wylde: hi [23:25] i 've change the nick [23:25] one quick question for all my linux friends here.
