[00:00] ghil, but do u have 2 screens? [00:00] ghil yeah default is 18gb [00:00] thinking about going down to like 10 [00:00] Can someone help me, When i try to install some software from the USC, i get the following message "E:I wasn't able to locate a file for the smc-data package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package." [00:01] txomon: yes, I have two screens. Twinview set up with Unity. [00:01] That's awesome, I wonder if I can get an additional monitor [00:01] Octane: it should be more than enough. 16gb is mainly breathing room so you can do some things with it. [00:01] ghil cheers mate [00:02] I have 180gb partition, I say I should focus on learning the 10.04 OS [00:02] Areckx: Twinview currently supports 2 monitors at once. if you get a third, it would have to be cloned from one of the two primaries. [00:02] np Octane :P [00:02] oh when you enable cloning [00:02] oooh there's also a way to increase wubi size!! [00:02] ghil, its a shame you dont have gnome-shell... could you install it? [00:02] I didn't like the rotating cube [00:03] so you can have one monitory with exactly the same output as your first, and a third monitor that is a unique workspace? [00:03] yes [00:03] YES!!! [00:03] I never tried it, since I don't have three monitors, but the option is certainly there. [00:03] sorry why would you want to clone your monitor? [00:03] Is there a way to get my foot in the door working at a company that runs Ubuntu 10.04? [00:04] I live in California [00:04] aaas: a lot of reasons, say you want to present something, or have it clone your desktop on the TV so you can watch things, etc... [00:04] I need to get an HDMi cable [00:05] You wouldnt need to use software to clone displays When i worked in retail we had several displays running from one screen, aslong as your using LCD tvs (Or monitors if u can find them) with an Output on them (Scart or HDMI) then you can run as many as you want [00:06] ok but for most people just at their desktop there aren't people wasting a monitor because it doubles things ;) === diegovieiraeti is now known as [kernel_3_2] [00:06] aaas: I doubt someone would double his desktop for the fun of watching it twice. :p [00:06] haha [00:07] .. [00:07] MOG :D === [kernel_3_2] is now known as revolts [00:08] <^Mike> What's the program that catches when you try to run a program that isn't installed and then finds possible matches, and suggests which packages to install? [00:09] im trying to install a game from the software center, and i keep getting a popup saying a previous installation failed, how do i repair this? [00:10] jamie: have you tried installing it through terminal? (sudo apt-get install nameofthegame) and seeing the results? normally, it'll be more verbose about what's not working, and we'll be able to build from that. [00:10] Ghil: ill try that now, then give you the result [00:14] Ghil: when i installed from the terminal, it worked. Thanks alot. I shall install things from the terminal more often now [00:14] jamie: yes. while the USC is a nifty new tool, apt-get is generally better for everything. Once you're used to it, it's normally quicker too :P [00:16] hi [00:16] Hey there [00:16] I'm a former Windows user. Why does Unity get such a bad rep? [00:17] it's because it's really far from what most Linux users where used to. [00:17] It's also a little counter-intuitive if you've been using Gnome for 10 years. [00:17] but it's really not bad. I'm getting used to it slowly. ^^ [00:18] I see. Coming from Windows, I found Unity much more appealing than the others. [00:18] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and i've noticed recently, after switching some connection settings around, that it now takes a very long time to initially load website pages, even though my up and download speeds are very fast (25/5) [00:19] Sajan: I think that was the idea. Offer a new paradigm that would benefit most people, and wouldn't be quite awkward for windows/OSX users. [00:20] ghil: It seems to have angered most loyal users in the process.

[00:26] ghil, you should really try gnome-shell [00:27] Why is Linux so great? [00:28] Hi, I have 2 graphic cards nvidia and Intel but I want to use the intel one I know I am using nvidia now because of the config Icon but which Driver cause Optimus is making me crazy [00:28] austin182: why are turtles blue? [00:29] phillijw haha that's unfair, it's a real question...just a broad one ;) [00:29] they are not blue!! [00:29] and who said linux was great? [00:30] hmmm maybe he's saying linux isn't great then [00:30] i'm using ubuntu 10.10 and i've noticed recently, after switching some connection settings around, that it now takes a very long time to initially load website pages, even though my up and download speeds are very fast (25/5) [00:30] I'm trying to help someone build a game on ubuntu, but they get an error with SDL's Mix_Init saying that MIX_INIT_OGG and MIX_INIT_FLAC don't exist. Does anyone else have that problem? he has the sdl mixer development libraries [00:30] linux has tons of problems that windows/osx doesn't have. Its just different [00:31] I did...I guess its a opinion sort of thing so i will be quiet now [00:31] austin182, it is because it is very modular, accesible for anyone and free. And overall, very customizable (as much as you want/can) [00:31] yes all oses have pros and cons, the question is to the degree the pros outweigh the cons for particular circumstances [00:31] I supposed you meant linux [00:31] linux=kernel [00:32] austin182 it really depends on what you want to do with your computer interaction, windows, osx may be fine or even bettetr [00:33] i can't go into recovery mode, it tries to boot and then stalls at: ACPI: PWR BUTTON .... [00:33] ya I get it Linux just made my crappy computer run a lot smoother so i'm liking it! [00:34] austin182 im with you...personally im on windows right now, but you should see the crazy things i got going on my server it has been a godsend for me [00:35] * txomon knows that having a windows server is just... calvary [00:37] how do i add a program to the "open with "opton [00:37] hello, how can I play a DVD movie in my computer?

[02:16] shape, no it gets it from smartctl. but AFAIK smartctl is only for reporting. its possible smartctl allows you to change warning levels so you might check it as well [02:16] escott: Because it's Disk Utility that shows me a green circle in Ubuntu (a few bad sectors - 200 sectors) and same Disk Utility in fedora shows me a yellow circle. And Alerts me the HDD is having health problems. [02:16] I find that very odd that the same program in different OS reports different things. [02:17] shape, maybe there is some text file somewhere that determines what the warning levels are [02:18] escott: exactly, and that's what I was asking, if someone knows where to find that. [02:18] shape: what are the two operating systems that report different results for the same app? [02:19] Ubuntu 11.10 (no alert for 200 bad sectors - green circle on S.M.A.R.T.) and Fedora 16 (alert for 200 sectors - yellow circle on S.M.A.R.T.) [02:20] #bespin . [02:20] shape, any config files like that would be in /etc [02:20] shape: It's a known issue that older versions of the GNOME Disk Utility made less serious issues seem more urgent [02:20] I'd check the smartctl -a output for the disk, but bear in mind the numbers are often counter-intuitive, shape [02:21] Any one using cmus? I'm using it in my gnome terminal, and '-' '+' do not decrease/increase the volume at all. [02:21] I'd go by whatever the newer version is saying to you. A lot of issues that aren't really all that serious have had their urgency "downgraded" [02:22] DaemonFC: but 200 bad sectors for a 2TB drive isn't bad you say? [02:22] IT keeps on adding 1 bad sector per day [02:22] then the disk is failing === bryan is now known as Guest54043 [02:22] back up your data now === adante_ is now known as adante [02:22] backup and have it replaced [02:22] any one having problem browsing fsf.org or gnu.org now? [02:22] figure on it failing soon [02:22] if it's 2 TB, it might still be in warranty === Guest54043 is now known as BryGuy71Z [02:23] yes, but you usually need to run the manufacturer's diagnostic utility and report any error code with your warranty claim [02:23] some manufacturers won't replace it just because of bad sectors, but some will if you won't take no for an answer === Tasmania is now known as USA === USA is now known as Indonesia === Indonesia is now known as Tasmania [02:24] dwatkins: Indeed. I only had it for a year. My only inquiry was how come the same program reported differently. I understand the HDD is bad. [02:24] I'd be persistent and explain that the bad sector count is rising rapidly and that you're concerned that the disk will fail soon [02:25] shape: understood, both distros are quite new, but perhaps they do indeed have different enough versions of Disk Utility as DaemonFC suggests [02:25] DaemonFC: Yes, I will. First I need to buy a HDD to back up and then RMA the bad one. However I find it ironic that my 6 year old 80GB from the same manufacturer (Seagate) has NO BAD SECTORS. [02:25] test [02:25] dwatkins: So it's the program version that sets the parameters. correct? [02:25] dwatkins: As in I would be messing with it if I change those things. [02:25] Disk Utility won't turn yellow or red until the drive is nearly out of replacement sectors to allocate [02:26] when it runs out, then you're at a huge risk of having not only bad sectors, but data that is totally unrecoverable [02:27] is there a way to reupgrade? [02:27] DaemonFC: I see. Yet in Fedora turned yellow for only 200 sectors. I find that a better way to alert the user, because otherwise I would have never checked on my own. [02:27] the way the firmware determines when a sector is bad is when it starts having trouble reading data from it. The idea is to move the data over to a replacement sector while it can still be read. [02:27] im getting cannot initialize x11 x gui errors [02:27] shape: from what I understand, later versions handle thresholds of bad sectors differently [02:27] shape: What version of Fedora? [02:27] DaemonFC: Fedora 16 [02:27] I know 16 and 17 have newer versions of the disk utility than Ubuntu 11.10 does [02:28] so I'd go with whatever they say [02:28] Oh, good to know. === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [02:28] How can I find this information on my own [02:28] i.e. a table or a list [02:28] with what the distros programs versions are. [02:28] hi just incase anyone has answered me and i havnt noticed, THANKS! otherwise, the tool i opted for was PhotoRec found with the testdisk package [02:29] shape: you can search http://packages.ubuntu.com/ for gnome-disk-utility [02:30] shape: On Fedora and most RPM distributions you can use rpm -q and it will tell you the version you have installed. On Debian-based systems (including Ubuntu), it is dpkg -s [02:30] DaemonFC: Oh ok. I am looking on the web because I'd have to turn on my laptop to check fedora that way. [02:31] it should be on the main page or wiki (looking now) [02:31] and the name of Disk Utility is actually palimpsest [02:32] Hello everyone ? [02:32] http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/gnome-disk-utility suggests Oneric has version 3.0.2-1ubuntu2, whatever that means. [02:32] is there a way to stop ubuntu from adding a trash folder to external drives? [02:33] dwatkins: I was looking at that actually! and the fedora one is gnome-disk-utility-3.0.2-3.fc16.i686 557kB [02:33] shape: Sometimes you'll see more bad sectors right after a disk format, but it depends on the file system and OS, or at least what version of the mkfs utility or kernel version you have :) [02:33] aha ok, shape - only a minor difference, then [02:33] still, it may be significant, there might be something in the release notes about thresholds [02:33] dwatkins: yes but that annoys me because I want to find out! XD [02:34] find out what, shape? [02:34] dwatkins: The threshold XD, and if you can modify it. And the thing is, when I go to the Disk Utility support it tells me to go to the ubuntu channel. [02:35] dwatkins: Maybe I should email the developers for Disk Utility? [02:35] older distributions were more likely to expose bad sectors because the formatting process for Ext2/3/4 used to go through and actually check every sector at the time you created the file system [02:35] they stopped doing that as of like, last year to make the formatting process faster [02:36] anyone know if a good command line calculator? [02:36] Hi, if want to install nginx via apt-get, is there anyway to get the list of all dependencies and packages which get installed along with nginx [02:36] something that I can just type in formulas or quick math [02:36] the time needed to create an Ext4 partition of a couple terabytes was well over a minute and now that is only a few seconds [02:36] phillijw: bc [02:36] DaemonFC: The 2 TB drive has only media/storage stuff on it. I never used it for the system. [02:37] dwatkins: cool [02:37] dwatkins: Thanks for your help btw! [02:37] the downside is that if there are dozens of bad sectors, you won't know about it until the file system tries storing something on one [02:37] system completely froze during a system backup, trying to figure out what could have gone wrong, any thoughts as to which log files I should be looking at? [02:37] so it will uncover them over time instead of marking them all bad at once [02:38] phillijw: bc for quick math. You can pipe expressions to octave or R [02:39] DaemonFC: Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the tips! :) [02:39] Er bu grr, wubi is kickin my butt [02:39] shape: So it is entirely possible that those have all been there all along and it is just uncovering them one at a time as it tries to write something to the disk [02:39] curl_e: maybe i'll have to learn about those 2 at some point [02:40] in that case, there could in fact be hundreds more that it just hasn't told you about because it hasn't gone to write anything there yet [02:40] Not resuming download for the big image is wild [02:40] DaemonFC: Yeah. I will contact Seagate anyway. Because like I said before it's 1-2 sectors every day. :( [02:40] so they could just already be there and the count will increase as it finds them [02:41] I just throw the drive away and slap a new one in if I'm not sure I can trust it anymore [02:41] I jsut had one myself that was a few years old that started doing that [02:41] DaemonFC: Well, Seagate offers 5 years warranty and Ive only used it for 1 year. [02:42] just remember to make a pass with the manufacturer's drive utility to zero out all sectors before you send it in if there is any confidential information on the drive (or before it goes in the trash, depending on if they will honor the warranty or not) [02:42] I understand. [02:42] DaemonFC: Anyway I must leave! Thanks for your help! [02:43] you never know who or what or where that drive will end up, so it's better to shred everything if it's going to be out of your possession :) [02:43] yep :) [02:43] Quick sanity check: It would be stupid to try to upgrade a 10.04LTS server to 12.04LTS when it comes out, right? I should do a fresh install? I think way too much has changed since then. [02:44] dj_segfault: expect issues ;) [02:45] dj_segfault: umm, why would it be stupid? It's explicitly supported... [02:46] jrib: M'Kay. Reading the docs it says to go one revision upgrade at a time, and I guess I could do that, but it seems like an awful lot has changed between those releases. [02:46] dj_segfault: no, LTS -> LTS is explicitly supported [02:46] dj_segfault: (i.e. you do not need to go to 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10 in between) [02:47] jrib: I was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:47] I guess if I back up first there's not much to lose in trying [02:47] hey guys, a friend of mine is using a dell onboard raid which makes a "Dell Virtual Disk". they installed ubutnu, and its been fine for the last few months. there was a power issue, box rebooted, now it starts to boot ubuntu, and comes back with a VFS error mounting sdc1. it shows beforehand thatboth sata links are down, and raid autodetect found nothing. he said he hadnt recompiled the kernel or anything. but.. heh. any ideas? [02:47] dj_segfault, I don't see any reason to not do an in-place upgrade. Two things to remember would be to back up important data first, and to burn a CD of 12.04 anyway in case you ever want to reinstall it from scratch. [02:47] dj_segfault: and? That page should confirm (or at the very least not contradict) what I've told you [02:48] i even tried usiong lilo to boot run level 1, but no change [02:48] dj_segfault, that page hasn't been updated yet to include to recommended process for upgrading to 12.04 either. In 11 days when it is released officially you will be offered to upgrade by the upgrade manager [02:49] jrib: Ah, I see the second part of that sentence where it says you can go from LTS to LTS. Thank you for pointing that out. [02:49] pangolin: Thanks. [02:49] dj_segfault: yep, one of the big benefits of LTS [02:49] dj_segfault, protip: backups :) [02:49] I burn a new LTS ISO each time they refresh the ISO with all the updates applied to it, like 12.04.1, 12.04.2. If the time ever comes where I need to do that, I don't really want to look forward to old installation media that may have bugs or be missing hardware support that I need. [02:50] pangolin: Been there done that tip: Two backups ;) [02:50] in 10.04, there was a very good example of that. A bug prevented it from bringing up my display if I used DVI, but 10.04.1 didn't do that. [02:50] anyway 12.04 support and talk in #ubuntu+1 [02:50] It was aggravating to have to go find a VGA cable just so I could get the thing installed and apply the proper update that made it stop doing that. :) [02:51] pangolin: yeah, i guess I should move to there. Sorry. Will do [02:51] DaemonFC, Please stick to answering/asking questions.

I stupidly changed my UID in the /etc/passwd file. I now cant log in. I have read the forums about ssh'ing nd changing the file back or by changing wnership of the ICEauthorty file bt i cant eve do tht. Essentilly i m locked out of my box. ny ideas how i fix this? [04:13] currently, I am giving it 2 cpus at 60% level [04:13] not too many files so it's not the end of the world, but was curious if anyone had an elegant solution. [04:14] google around there is a way to go from virtualbox image to baremetal install but im not too familiar i know its easier with vmware but worst case scenario you could convert the disk image [04:14] gl [04:14] bozonius: try 3d acceleration, give it plenty of RAM, and enable hardware virtualization if you have a multicore CPU worked wonders for me [04:14] wookienz: I usually boot my linuxrescuecd, but there may be better ways.

[04:15] yw [04:15] wookienz...are using a VM? [04:16] I F*&^ing hate windows dude [04:16] wookienz: if you have physical access you can boot single user as root and fix things [04:16] I heard that disabling 3D actually helps in some cases. [04:16] squid, no. physical access. [04:16] personally, I haven't noticed any differences [04:16] ufffffffffff [04:16] sacarlson, what keys do i hold to do that? [04:17] wookienz: no physical access there is no way that I know to single user boot from remote [04:17] are hacking someone? lol just kidding... [04:17] let me think here for a bit [04:18] sacarlson, i hve physical access. [04:18] zenlike, how much is "plenty of ram?" I gave it one Gig [04:18] there was a "." after the no. [04:18] so...sudoers account locked up, only access using the guest but no root priv...and no physical access... [04:18] bozonius: i threw 3 gigs at mine, but I have 6 on my whole system [04:18] eh [04:18] squid, i have physical access. [04:19] 3G? [04:19] wookienz: oh then just hold shift at boot and pick restore in grub [04:19] wookienz let me see if i can get you the steps for that...just a sec [04:19] no "restore" option. can i drop to command line and do it there? [04:19] wookienz: ya rescure sorry not restore [04:19] That makes it sound like a certain resource-sucking "operating system," which is really a desktop application recycled and tweaked 7 times, along with a price increase [04:19] bozonius: yep, ~ 3 gb. that video memory setting cranked up to 128 mb (i think that's the max?) seemed to help too [04:19] wookienz: rescue [04:20] I've got 128MB of video [04:20] bozonius: word, yeah, i'm considering going to baremetal install for this very reason. [04:21] ah i see...ill look at that. [04:21] bozonius: i use windows applications less frequently than terminal etc. so i think WINE would be more fitting for me [04:21] than virtual box [04:21] tbh, I am not working on anything serious here. Just testing and trying it all out, trying to understand how it all works together. [04:22] same here man. that's the spirit of linux! [04:22] i think so, at least [04:22] Who here can help someone with a seemingly unsolvable problem!!!??? [04:22] Almagest: What is the set of all sets? [04:22] I use Windows less often than terminal. [04:22] an unsolvable problem? no one [04:22] bozonius: agreed [04:22] In fact, I use Windows ... ZERO. [04:22] Except to run your Linux on. :) [04:22] So check it [04:23] Only at work, where they haven't discovered that there is a computing universe that is not tied to proprietary licensing [04:23] zenlike: hehe [04:23]
I will hear the "unsolvable problem [04:23] My friends hard drive is fried, so im trying to boot Ubuntu onto the pc from a Flash drive. [04:23] Possible correct? [04:23] i came for installation support. i stayed for the philosophical implications of linux [04:23] Almagest: if your bios supports it sure [04:23] It does [04:23] Now then [04:23] sorry, mundane [04:23] There is a recovery mode in Ubuntu... [04:23] I have the flash correctly set up [04:23] http://www.upubuntu.com/2011/10/how-to-change-user-password-in-recovery.html [04:23] Almagest: easy plug and play maybe some bios setting to enable usb boot [04:24] When i try to boot the os [04:24] wookienz... [04:24] Problems insue [04:24] bozonius: that's weird btw, most companys here have at least some portion of business on linux [04:24] we should take this other nonsense to a social forum... [04:24] check that site out [04:24] bozonius: Yeah, I feel that pain... it seems as open source takes off more and more due to Github and it's ilk, it's becoming a lot more feasible to drive use in professional situations [04:24] syslq. [04:24] mundane: LOL [04:24] bozonius, or maybe like all businesses they like to get things accomplished and not troubleshoot every machine for hours a day [04:24] A weird message pops up and the PC Freezes [04:24] syslq: This is the United States here. [04:24] There ARE no other countries. [04:24] How do i get past this screen? [04:24] bozonius: I thought in USA that's even more common [04:24] Just us, the US military and Microsoft. [04:25] not in the offices it isn't. The US is still tied down to Windows nearly everywhere. [04:25] Almagest: message that states what? might be it tries to boot from hard disk first so will fail, change the boot sequence so usb boots first [04:25] bozonius: I was checking your job market a while ago and it seemed hungry for linux pro's [04:25] Unix, Linux, Solaris, etc are used for servers and web hosting, cloud computing services. [04:25] syslq...LOL [04:25] pilotbub: this is a good point i've thought about a lot, when you pay for a service/product you can demand things such as ease of use / accountability for weird bugs and stuff [04:26] squid: so that's not true then :)? [04:26] Almagest: so you will have to boot into bios setting mode to change boot sequence [04:26] there is nothing like Linux in this world!!!! [04:26] squid: ? [04:26] squid: yes there is there's solaris [04:26] I applied to RackSpace for exactly that reason, syslq. I flunked the phone interview because I couldn't rattle off the numeric values for all the entries in /etc/services. [04:26] Im not a Microsoft person AT ALL. [04:26] bozonius: hehe :) [04:26] that's the kind of Linux "expertise" they are looking for. [04:26] yeah. [04:27] fsck them. [04:27] SYSLINUX 4.06 EED 4.06-prel Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H. peter anvin et al [04:27] bozonius: wtf, point is that you know where to find info, not to have it memorized :) [04:27] thats what it gets stuck on [04:27] tell them that. [04:27] I've ordered the BIOS boot correctly [04:27] syslq...bingo! [04:28] bozonius: don't worry, from such interview the only possible conclusion is that, you don't really want to work there if you have any other choice :) [04:28] and BSD [04:28] Look, syslq, what do you want from a country that insists that market-driven health care is a better alternative than universal health care? [04:28] agree, syslq [04:28] Almagest: is this ubuntu? [04:28] Yes [04:28] very agreed [04:29] anyway, is there an alternative to unity? [04:29] I really like to help people out...I really do and I enjoy helping people here in the forum, but sometimes it looks like people just want others to google simple shit for them.... [04:29] bozonius: GNOME shell I think/ [04:29] bozonius: kudos on health care [04:29] zenlike, that was gnome 1, right? [04:29] Fluxbox!!!! [04:29] Almagest: can the usb flash disk boot on any other systems? [04:29] I have not tryed [04:30] bozonius: but try not to get labeled as commie :) [04:30] I have tryed wiping it and puting ubuntu back onto it several time though [04:30] bozonius: to be frank, I've never tried GNOME shell, just have heard people who say they hate Unity like GNOME shell better [04:30] I am now trying an earler build of ubuntu [04:30] was wondering about ubuntu 12.04 multimonitor support and how it will be better than that of 10.04 [04:30] how do I fire up Fluxbox on Ubuntu, and isn't that kind of defeating the whole purpose? [04:31] squid, thanks got it back. will use the proper method of changing UID next time. [04:31] I also have Mint in another VM, and it runs just fine. I like it very much, and I am even debating switching to it from PCLinuxOS [04:31] sacarlson, thanks all fixed [04:31] wookienz: cool [04:31] Mint is derived from Ubuntu, and seems to work better. So what happened? [04:31] I recommend you check it out first b4 you try it....Fluxbox could be a little weird to some users not use to it... [04:31] they have a site and nice doc ... [04:32] I'be been googling all day and cannot find out what that message means, but there are other people out there with the same problem [04:32] is there a Ubuntu-fluxbox distro or CD? [04:32] excuse my errors...typing very fast [04:32] np, squid [04:32] you could prob...do apt-get install fluxbox [04:32] just wondering if there is a ready-to-go ubuntu image like kubuntu, only for fluxbox or something else. [04:33] ok [04:33] Almagest: does the usb flash boot on another computer? what software method did you use to install the iso file on the usb flash disk? [04:33] will fluxbox then show up as an option at the Gdm login? [04:33] yup... [04:33] great. I will try that then. Thanks. [04:33] UNETBootin as well as Universal [04:34] syslq: I am a socialist, commie, or whatever else people care to label me. I care about people more than I do about profits or the animals that live off other people's labor. [04:34] but this is not the socialism channel, so... [04:34] Need help making my wireless belkin G card work [04:34] let's keep this to ubuntu. [04:35] any takers? [04:35] Almagest: and reading back I don't see what version you have installed. if you have a system to program the usb flash you should try to test the usb flash boot on that system to isolate the problem [04:35] long live mother russia [04:35] Almagest: version of ubuntu iso's you tried [04:36] "mother russia" was not communist or socialist -- it was totalitarian [04:36] (sorry, squid, with all due respect) [04:36] 11.5 === Tiktalik is now known as shooksoda === shooksoda is now known as Tiktalk [04:36] sorry 11.10 === Tiktalk is now known as Tiktalik [04:37] ;) [04:37] 32 and 64 bit [04:37] bozonius: nice to meet you. I'm commie too :) === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [04:37] bozonius: even lived in communism and was way better than the thing you call democracy [04:37] I cant test the system because it is not with me, its in a differnt state, im doing all of this by controlling another system from remote and having someone try the USB in the intended CPU [04:38] syslq !ot [04:38] so i'm pretty sure i figured out more about my problem if anyone's willing to help [04:38] wookienz..good! [04:38] Having problems connecting on my wireless G card, need urgent help. The card shows up on my "lsusb" command, it is able to view my home network, it is NOT able to connect to it. [04:38] Almagest: well then have them try it on the system you use as the remote [04:39] are there any text editors for linux with windows-style interaction, but argb transpaerency (as per terminal) [04:39] ceti331...there are a few [04:39] Almagest: I've never seen your problem so I would have to first isolate [04:39] nano...cmd [04:39] gedit GUI [04:39] Ziek; how can it view the network.. if its not connected to it? Do you mean it can see the network? [04:39] Hey guys. Does anyone know how to disable popup notifications in Filezilla? [04:40] squid: nano can display transparent i.e. in the terminal - but the keys are non-windows [04:40] Chris....thats in the EDIT tab...click pref [04:40] Ziek: iwconfig output? [04:40] gedit = opqaue ? [04:40] whats cmd [04:40] Lil: Yes, I can see that there is a wireless connect, however I cant connect to it [04:40] command line [04:40] ok ill see if it will work, the system they are running on and that i am controlling is an old XP from 2001. [04:41] Not sure if the BIOS will have the USB option [04:41] ceti331 ...if I was u...I would use gedit [04:41] i use gedit sure [04:41] are u new to linux? [04:41] Trying to get a newer laptop up and running but making the USB from the older machine. [04:41] by* [04:42] Almagest: oh then maybe you might need something like a 32bit lubuntu iso to test it on that also [04:42] i use it on and off.. i'm a conditioned windows user, but get nostalgic buzz from anything non-wintel [04:42] syslq: No such device [04:42] syslq: may be "called" democracy, but it ain't [04:42] anybody need any Cisco help...let me know [04:42] I am most productive coding with microsoft visual studio under windows [04:42] but have a perpetual itch to use gnu tools [04:42] Almagest: I would start from lubuntu 10.04 32bit and work up from there if needed [04:42] squid: I've got ubuntu running fluxbox. [04:43] A big menuing system. Not very sexy. [04:43] Lubuntu [04:43] bozonius: yeah, it's timocracy [04:43] ceti331...I used it be4...kinda cool [04:43] Ok, thanks [04:43] I got some joy today using raw GDB a bit [04:43] Ziek: you dont have drivers? [04:43] If this 10.5 ubuntu doesnt work that will be my next step [04:43] is Unity usable, short of buying more RAM than the army? [04:44] Almagest ... sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:44] Ziek: lsusb just lists devices connected trough usb, you need drivers in order for your OS to work properly with your hardware [04:44] Almagest ... don't do it... man it first [04:44] Almagest: a 2001 system I don't think will boot a standard ubuntu 10.04 probly not enuf mem [04:44] syslq, pm me [04:44] gedit is cool, one little tweak that would be nice is to remove the tab-bar if only one file is in the window [04:45] but gedit works well [04:45] you can turn on line numbers etc... [04:45] yes I use that [04:45] Im trying to boot ubuntu from a LIVE USB onto a 2010 model HP laptop with a dead hard drive, but the BIOS still work, It freezes on the screen with the weird copyright info. [04:45] syslq:Yes, I have the Cd drivers, but I believe that they are already installed because it showed up usb list. However I just tried to install the drivers via ndisgtk and it says that its an invalid driver [04:46] Ziek: lsusb shows connected hw not the drivers. Which card do you have? [04:46] Ziek: which device I mean [04:47] Belkin wireless g FSd7050 [04:47] squid: I note that there is a "2D" option besides Fluxbox and Ubuntu. [04:47] syslq: Belkin wireless G FSD7050 [04:48] i like fluxbox, its a nice minimalist windowmanager [04:48] Ziek: gimme a sec [04:48] i like the option for mousewheel desktop switching which defaul ubuntu seems to lack [04:48] Hey guys, when I right click on PHP files I'm not able to select a program I installed, Komodo Edit [04:49] Almagest: oh 2010 hp could be a it has an efi bios, I wonder how those boot from usb [04:49] syslq: no problem, thanks [04:49] how do I use the pirate bay magnetic links? [04:49] Is there an easy way to add a program to a filetype's list of available programs? [04:49] faryshta: download Transmission or another torrent downloading program, which can open magnet links [04:49] Ziek: I think you need http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/rt73-source [04:49] faryshta, hardly ubuntu related. [04:49] Ziek: rt73 driver [04:50] ChrisFromTheBay, I have transmittion installed. [04:50] Looks like the 2D version runs Ubuntu/Unity whatever it is [04:50] transmission comes with ubuntu [04:50] ChrisFromTheBay, which is the next step? [04:50] faryshta; try #piratebay [04:50] wierd icon and all :D [04:50] lol [04:50] Ziek: I use 2 devices with rt73 chips both work on 10.04 and 11.10 [04:51] Does anyone know how to add a program to a filetype's (PHP) context menu in Ubuntu? [04:51] Ziek: apt-cache search rt73 should get you somewhere [04:51] How do I set transmission to open magnetic files? [04:51] i have upgraded to 12.04 LTS beta but non of the icons up the top notification bar are working. What package is it that runs the so i can reinstall it [04:51] I'm not sure faryshta [04:51] ChrisFromTheBay, what do you mean. Open a .php file with nautilus? [04:52] Well, I'd like to open PHP files with a program, Komodo. [04:52] ChrisFromTheBay: I assume from an appache2 server? just sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin [04:53] bozonius: ping [04:53] Sac: not sure but it seems to pick up some info from the USB as the message says Linux [04:53] My lamp stack is all setup. :) ... I'm trying to edit PHP files with a program I've used on Macs & PCs a lot [04:53] syslq: It says I have duplicate sources that "you may want to run sud apt-get update to correct these problems [04:53] ChrisFromTheBay, right-click any .php file and choose 'open with another program' [04:53] How do I set transmission to open magnetic files? [04:53] ChrisFromTheBay: oh from the command line with no appache2? then just install php5-cli [04:54] Ziek: you should actually always do apt-get update before that, it updates you package index [04:54] sacarlson: Any specific command that might get me that package download [04:54] Ziek: so try that first and let me know [04:54] I clicked "open with another program", and Komodo Edit isn't on the list of All Programs that can open it. :( [04:54] Ziek: it was plug and play so what problems are you having? is your network encrypted? if so you will need wpa-supplicant [04:54] ChrisFromTheBay, then choose the 'use command' and put komodo or whatever the command for komodo is. [04:55] syslq: Ok, ran it first, then the search and it says the same thing [04:55] Ziek: also try wicd gui as it has more options [04:56] How do I open magnetic files using transmission? [04:56] faryshta: Thanks, how could I chose "use command", should that be in a list alongside the other programs? [04:56] sacarlson: Yes my network is encrypted [04:56] faryshta, did you open Transmission? [04:56] sacarlson: I'm sorry I am not familiar with wpa-supplicant [04:56] Ziek: oh but I read up and see you see no device at all? like with iwconfig? [04:57] faryshta; must you repeat the same question several times? Not sure if you noticed, but this is called #ubuntu .. and your piratebay questions don't really relate to ubuntu. [04:57] Ziek: what exactly does apt-cache search r73 returns? [04:57] Ziek: with wicd you won't have to know much about it, it takes care of it for you [04:57] faryshta; use google for your question, it'll be much quicker then repeating it 100 times in here. [04:57] faryshta: I just clicked a magnet link on PB, and it asked if I wanted to open with Transmission : http://thepiratebay.se/search/linux/0/99/0 [04:57] apt-cache search simply send queries to the apt- server...it won't install anything [04:58] ChrisFromTheBay, I have transmission open. For komodo, you won't need to do anything. From now on it will be available when you right-click. [04:58] sacarlson: No wireless extension shows up [04:58] Lil, you are not helping but thanks anyway. [04:58] sacarlson: wait [04:58] Ziek: oh maybe I did install firmware [04:58] sacarlson: IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on [04:58] Ziek...try this lspci | grep Wireless [04:59] ziek: ok then it's working fine [04:59] Ziek... or try this lspci | grep Ethernet [04:59] the solution for all wifi problems: 1. Reboot 2. Select Windows at GRUB [04:59] syslq: The search returns the message I typed before about the duplicates [04:59] might try to boot windows 8 from USB if this doesnt work. [04:59] Lil, How do I open magnetic files using transmission? === sattu94 is now known as satyanash [05:00] Ziek: I'm guessing if you search for anything else (apt-cache search irssi) for instance you get the same result? [05:00] Ziek: I've never tested rt73 with wpa my access point will only do wep so if wicd can't connect to it try disable your encryption on your access point to isolate it to that [05:01] squid: 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82547EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller [05:01] Ziek... you didn't get anything for the Wireless? [05:01] syslq: Correct. [05:02] faryshta: Try using Firefox to click the magnet link. I just did for a Linux distro magnet link... and it popped up asking if I wanted to open with Transmission [05:02] syslq: irssi - terminal based IRC client [05:02] irssi-dev - terminal based IRC client - development files [05:02] ekg - console Gadu Gadu client for UNIX systems [05:02] irssi-plugin-otr - Off-the-Record Messaging Plugin for Irssi [05:02] irssi-plugin-xmpp - XMPP plugin for irssi [05:02] irssi-plugin-xmpp-dbg - XMPP plugin for irssi - Debugging symbols [05:02] Ziek: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:02] Ziek: oh you see it in iwconfig but not in ifconfig? then bring the device up like sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [05:02] Ziek...please use paste.ubuntu.com [05:03] no disrecpect [05:03] disrespect [05:03] ChrisFromTheBay, thanks let me try. [05:04] squid: Sorry im nto familiar with that option for pasting [05:04] Lil, saying 'just google it' isn't helping. If I am here it means that Google wasn't helpful. [05:04] I wasn't until two days ago... [05:04] I pissed a bunch of people off [05:05] created an script for some user and pasted here [05:05] faryshta; Not sure why you think these questions are OK for #ubuntu .. but whatever floats your boat man. [05:06] ziek: I hope you tried sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; as I'm getting confused what irc has to do with wifi connection so I might be on the wrong page for you [05:06] basically...the site is used to paste your code or w.e and then it will generate a hyper-link that you can to copy and paste...something similar to what Twitter does [05:06] sacarlson: yes i see alot off info for ifconfig [05:07] ziek: so you see that wlan0 is up then? [05:07] sacarlson: how can i tell? [05:07] Ziek: if you already tried to connect in network-manager and that failed I would install wicd [05:07] can compiz do argb alpha blending [05:08] instead of uniform alpha [05:08] squid: ok thanks [05:08] ziek: I guess with ifconfig | grep wlan ; would tell if it's seen at all [05:08] Lil, can you point me which of this I broke? http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct did you broke any of these yourself? [05:09] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/932093/ [05:09] Ziek .. :D lol [05:10] How can I convert x264 video to xvid or something easier for my processor to play using ffmpeg? [05:10] squid: what? :) I used the paste thing [05:10] Ziek: so this line wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:50:6a:53:6f shows you have a working wifi device, did you try network-manager? [05:11] faryshta; You broke none of them, nor did I. However, this channel is for ubuntu related discussion. Your pirate bay question hardly relates to ubuntu. [05:11] unity wont start [05:11] i have to use unity-2d [05:11] or gnome classic [05:11] sacarlson: Yes ethernet does showup in the network manager aswell as the wireless connection [05:11] i get Window manager warning: Log level 16: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject [05:11] Window manager warning: Log level 16: Error registering polkit authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject (polkit-error-quark 0) [05:11] Ziek: ok and you see your access point? and tried to connect to it? [05:11] when i run gnome-shell --replace [05:11] sacarlson: after clicking on it to conenct it "attempts" to connect, but does not [05:12] faryshta; I already PM'd you a google link that answers your question. Don't be lazy. I have had that problem before, and google answered it with the link I gave you. [05:12] Anybody familiar with setting xmx for java? [05:12] Ziek: it should have asked for a password if it's encrypted, so best try install wicd then, apt-get install wicd [05:13] sacarlson: It asked the password. After it is provided it is still unable to connect. And trust me (it is well written) [05:13] Lil, as I said. If I am here it means that google wasn't helpful. [05:13] Ziek: and be sure you have the correct password to connect [05:13] Ziek..yea [05:13] Ziek: I would try wicd [05:14] Ziek: if that fails isolate down to if it's an encyption problem by disabling encyrption in your access point [05:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines Lil you might want to read this [05:14] Lil, you are breaking the guidelines of this IRC. [05:15] sacarlson: It says i should be added to "netdev" what am i getting into? [05:15] faryshta are you the supervisor of the iRC? [05:16] faryshta; Apparently you haven't read it.. Or you wouldn't continue to post your question several times. Then expect someone to hold your hand and help. [05:16] Ziek: oh maybe your user doen't have privliges to connect to networks [05:16] Lil Wayne [05:16] Lil, you are still not helping anyone here. [05:17] sacarlson: here is the result http://paste.ubuntu.com/932098/ [05:17] uh oh [05:17] Ziek: then you will want to look at user groups with users-admin [05:18] sacarlson: you lost me... [05:18] Ziek...visudo [05:18] faryshta; I have helped.. even when the question wasn't related to ubuntu. [05:18] Lil, no you didn't. You didn't help me and you aren't helping others either. [05:18] Ziek: that looks ok, so did you try run wicd then? [05:18] Ziek...then ... %ziek ALL=(ALL) ALL [05:19] Ziek: ya just run wicd with sudo to try it [05:20] sacarlson: it does nothing [05:22] Ziek: you ran gksudo wicd in a term? did you see any errors? [05:23] sacarlson: none [05:23] Ziek: I'm not sure, check in synaptic to see if wicd installed [05:23] hello all [05:23] Ziek: I didn't see any error in install that should have stoped it [05:24] How can I convert h264 video to something easier to play using ffmpeg? [05:25] sacarlson: Yes it is here. [05:25] edbian find a better player [05:26] pilotbub can you suggest something? I've tried totem and vlc, both play choppy. I'm pretty sure it's my netbooks processor that's too slow. Why is converting using ffmpeg a bad idea? [05:27] if your CPU cant handle playing it how well do you think it will convert? Look into CorePlayer [05:27] sacarlson: I noticed 1 error when installing go back to the paste.ubuntu look down at the * Starting Network connection manager wicd [fail] [05:28] edbian: http://handbrake.fr/ [05:28] pilotbub, It can convert just fine. It will take a long time, but the quality will remain. Some codecs are more processor intensive to play than others. [05:28] Debolaz, why this and not ffmpeg? [05:28] pilotbub: h264 is significantly more cpu hungry than xvid, its a good chance xvid will play just fine. [05:28] Debolaz, is handbrake in the repos? [05:28] xvid does play fine [05:28] edbian: Handbrake is easier to use. [05:29] Debolaz, is it in the repos? [05:29] enjoy those 48 hour conversions... [05:29] pilotbub, better than not playing things at all! :P [05:29] ziek: try reboot and see if the error repeats [05:29] hey if youre into that more power to you [05:29] sacarlson: ok brb [05:29] edbian: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases [05:29] so it's not in the repos... [05:30] Allergic to ppas? :) [05:30] It's in a PPA repo, is that a bad thing? [05:30] well [05:30] I would have preferred being in repos... [05:30] Why? [05:30] Then I don't need to worry about it when I upgrade releases [05:31] Debolaz, thanks for the help :) [05:31] pilotbub, thank you as well [05:32] does anyone know when final release of Precise will launch ? [05:32] yw [05:32] soon [05:32] #ubuntu+1 [05:32] 26th I think [05:33] Hmm, 28th it seems. :) [05:34] sacarlson: back === richard is now known as Guest88079 [05:36] sacarlson: now its worse, i cant see any wireless network [05:38] ziek: bring it up with sudo ifconfig wlan0 up [05:38] Don't worry Wireless will be supported on Ubuntu 25 [05:38] pilotbub: ? wireless works fine with most devices... [05:39] sacarlson: O_O wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [05:39] ziek: oh try iwconfig see if the number changed [05:40] sacarlson: lo no wireless extensions. [05:40] Hey guys. I right click PHP files, and it isn't showing my favorite text editor as an eligible from to open the file with. I want to set it to the default. Suggestions? Thanks [05:40] lo no wireless extensions. [05:40] hi [05:40] eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions [05:41] sacarlson: lo no wireless extensions. [05:41] i got my e-mail on @gmail.com, i would to download my e-mailes on my hdd, how can i do it by shell ? [05:41] eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions [05:41] trying to install im-ja [05:41] so I can input Japanese [05:42] ziek: unplug and replug your device and try again [05:44] sacarlson: still, nothing [05:45] ziek: also try another usb port [05:46] ziek: not sure how it could have worked before and not now. so also verify the device is still seen with lsusb [05:48] does anyone know how to change the default application that opens a type of files? [05:49] ChrisFromTheBay: most of the time, right click the filetype, click the 'Open With' tab (or something like that)... and choose the program [05:49] sacarlson: Yes it is seen in lsusb, however now it does not show any wirelles network nor the led blinks [05:49] sacarlson: its like its dead [05:49] ChrisFromTheBay: least thtas how i remember it.. been a while since i used Gnome [05:49] KMO201: Thanks. What if the program doesn't show up in the list? [05:49] ziek: and nothing seen with iwconfig? [05:49] ChrisFromTheBay: isn't there an "add" button? [05:50] sacarlson: no wireless extensions [05:50] ziek: ok we should look in /var/log/syslog file to see what kind of a problem it sees [05:50] Need help on Glade Interface Designer... [05:51] KMO201: There is an add button, but it's not showing my desired program in the list of applications that button can add. [05:51] ziek: is this a dual boot system windows and linux? [05:51] I always end up with Cannot find Glade XML Object error [05:52] sacarlson: yes its a dual boot [05:52] ziek: that might explain why it worked then stoped, as windows would have installed the firmware and linux might keep the firmware in untill powered off or unpluged [05:53] ziek: so we should also check to see you have the firmware package installed, I have to lookup the name [05:55] sacarlson: Well thats the thing I dont have this wireless card installed in windows either [05:56] ziek: there is a package rt73-common that has updated firmware [05:56] anyone can help me with im-ja? [05:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImJa [05:57] sacarlson: throw me the command [05:57] ziek: sudo apt-get install rt73-common ; [06:01] where can i get old kernel packages? [06:02] i need linux-headers-3.2.0-19 [06:04] scientes, may be kerner.org [06:04] kerne [06:04] kernel [06:04] you mean kernel.org [06:05] no, this is a specific precise kernel [06:05] yeah [06:05] ive got a regression [06:05] scientes, ask in #ubuntu+1 [06:05] for precise editon help [06:09] alright so ive been using transmission for a few weeks now and ever couple of days it tells me that movies and shows ive watched and were fine, suddenly have a piece or two that is corrupt [06:11] anyone have any ideas? the files are being saved toa 1Tb usb drive === novo is now known as jnovo [06:12] ohptlabs, look at dmesg [06:12] ohptlabs, is it a usb hard drive? [06:12] and are you cold booting it (pulling the plug without unmounting it) [06:14] scientes, the dmesg looked normal, its booted and shut down with the computer [06:14] Ok, what does this mean? Process /usr/bin/Thunar received signal 11 [06:14] scientes, yes it a usb harddrive [06:15] ohptlabs, usb hard drives are very sensitive to hard shutdowns, you have to make sure to unmount it from nautilus before unplugging it, or only unplugging it when the computer is shut down (and shutting down the computer gracefully) [06:15] could be a fluke just rehash the torrent and dl the missing pieces whats the prob bob [06:16] pilotbub, yes thats what ive been doing however its weird that i keep having to do this with 100 things im seeding [06:17] well linux + 100 seeding torrents = shake territory [06:17] eSATA is really much better if you can get that [06:17] as usb 2.0 doesn't support spinning down hard drives either [06:17] pilotbub, i guess just dont understand how ive viewed them, they were fine, i havent touched them and yet its telling me a piece of a complete file is corrupt [06:17] hmmm i see. [06:18] yeah update your transmission is all I can suggest [06:18] should i just rip open the usb harddrive and put it in my computer [06:18] thats an approach [06:21] pilotbub, is there anyway the file isnt actually corrupt and its just transmission being lame? [06:21] I am having issues with iBus [06:22] I added anthy japanese input [06:22] and am unable to convert hiragana to kanji using space [06:22] Areckx, #ibus [06:22] id say thats the likelier option if youre using a reputable tracker [06:22] Areckx, gnome 3 breaks alot of stuff === Caspercom|zZz is now known as Caspercom [06:23] pilotbub, not to sound ignorant, but how can itell if a tracker is reputable? [06:24] general rule: something well known like ubuntu or other distro trackers [06:24] transmission like all software isnt perfect [06:25] scientes, no it wont. its unity who breaks everything [06:25] can no one see the irony [06:25] i can :) [06:26] Abhijit, unity is gtk 3 [06:26] Abhijit, but yeah gnome-shell MIGHT be better gtk 3 [06:26] unity is supposed to have better multi-monitor support and if it works for my setup then I'm all for unity [06:26] pilotbub, yeahim not sure actually since i dont think most dist track classic films which is what ive been seeding [06:26] all you can do is update your client and OS [06:27] submit a bug report [06:27] transmission team is pretty active and will probably respond [06:27] ubuntu is a big distro for them [06:27] if youre not happy they want to know why [06:27] scientes, whatever. its unity who breaks everything [06:28] oldie has joined? [06:28] Abhijit, I dont like unity, but the move from gtk 2 to gtk 3 breaks alot of stuff [06:28] ok! [06:28] alright i shall do so, im using the LTS of ubuntu, so im guessing ill have to get a much newer version of transmission too [06:30] not to go OT but give precise a while who knows maybe they patched your issue already [06:30] whirl* [06:31] Hi! What command do i have to run to update the init system after creating a new Upstart config (/etc/init/foo.conf)? === arizona is now known as arizona_bay [06:33] if we have trouble running Unity, can we run Disunity instead? [06:33] lolmaus, try Function+3+K [06:33] but Unity break everything! [06:35] How to get virtualbox in full screen mode? [06:35] what is the advantage of running Ubuntu, esp. 11.10, if Unity, its showcase feature causes so many issues for so many people? [06:35] adac, try Function+3+K [06:36] adac, you should join #vbox [06:36] but, yes, F3K should work [06:36] try Hostkey+F [06:37] bozonius, it's the newest release. That's the advantage. [06:37] pilotbub, I try, but first I need to know how to switch back to normal screen :D [06:37] newest release. [06:37] same command, adac. [06:37] Hostkey+F [06:37] bozonius, is hostkey the "windows" key? [06:37] will toggle back and forth between full screen [06:37] it depends how your vbox VM is configured [06:38] I think -- on Linux at least -- it is the left alt key by default. [06:38] but you really should consult someone on #vbox for virtualbox-related questions. [06:38] Host, key is the windows key as usual [06:39] nesusvet, well with the windows key i get the ubuntu menu [06:39] For the VBOX it's a right ctrl [06:39] pilotbub, wut? I'm in console. [06:39] yes it was the right ctrl + f [06:39] thank you guys [06:40] lolmaus, try curl -s 22.44.342.44 -xfg [06:41] rumpel: Unity slows down my entire system! Even if it IS the latest release. [06:41] that should link you up to the mainframe and commence the launch [06:41] or is it rumpe1? [06:41] bozonius, then use something different [06:41] bozonius, nobody is forced to use unity [06:41] I do. I wanted to try Ubuntu because so many people are raving about it. [06:41] just use W8 [06:42] when it comes to Linux I say go modern or go back to retail [06:42] OK, but why use, say, openbox instead of Unity on Ubuntu? why not use some other distro altogether? That's what I am asking. [06:42] I don't have Windows here. [06:42] bozonius, i mean: unity is just a suggestion for a desktop environment. You still have the choice of many other desktop environments, you could install and use. [06:42] if i want to use gnome I'd ride a time machine back to win 95 [06:42] I know that. [06:43] I am allergic to all Microsoft products. I am unable to use them without serious side effects. [06:43] But there are literally 100's of Linux Distros. [06:43] 1000s [06:43] 100s active [06:44] My question is, how can Ubuntu make the argument for itself if its premier product does not play well for people who don't have the hardware to support it? [06:44] end user linux will have it time in the sun but that time has not yet arrived [06:44] I have 4G of ram and a dual core CPU [06:44] I feel that should be plenty. [06:45] pilotbub, I am not meaning to argue with you, honestly. [06:45] the ubuntu pipe dream is that people with adequate hw will choose Unity over Win [06:45] I am sure the Ubuntu devs are proud of unity, and they should be [06:45] when it does play, it plays very nicely. [06:46] trouble is, Mint (a sort of modified ubuntu) does not have this issue. of course, it does not have unity (at least not out of box) [06:46] but Mint's interface is also very nice and easy to use. [06:46] its got cinnamon but mint also suffers stability issues [06:46] and I believe you are correct: Ubuntu is better than Windows [06:46] for the same hardware [06:46] whatever that hardware is. [06:47] as a blanket statement id have to say you were mad but it has its strengths in certain areas [06:47] then again, a Hyundai is better than a Yugo. [06:47] oh, I'm not mad. [06:47] as an end user platform linux just isnt there yet [06:47] not at you. [06:47] the question is will it ever be [06:47] pilotbub, have you tried PCLinuxOS? [06:47] no [06:48] if you get the bandwidth/are bored sometime/have nothing else to do [06:48] try it out. [06:48] I think it plays comparatively well against Windows. [06:48] ive tried out mint cinnamon and ubuntu 12 recently when my linux patience is restored ill do Fed 17 but I dunno about PCLinuxOS it just sounds terrible [06:49] it doesn't have the "let me guess what the user will do next" unity software, but it is a sufficient improvement over Windows of any kind. [06:49] hi, is there any extension for libreoffice so it makes sound when i type? ^_^ [06:49] probably [06:49] I've been using PCLinuxOS for about 8 years I think (since its pre-release versions) and I've had very good luck with it. [06:50] ill look into it i have heard of it but the name kept me awa [06:50] why does PCLinuxOS sound terrible? [06:50] just sort of generic and uncreative [06:50] hi does anyone knows how to verify if the attached Screen is HDCP compliant or not [06:50] it started out as a Mandriva/Connectiva branch and merger, but it has evolved quite a bit in its own direction [06:50] ComputerOperatingSystem2012 [06:51] :) [06:51] theres always mageia 2 [06:51] I hear you. [06:51] well, I'll continue trying out Ubuntu in 2D, with CPU throttling under VBox [06:52] I'll check back after I've played with it a while. [06:52] you must be suffering in vbox I couldnt take it baremetal [06:52] alright good luck [06:52] * Debolaz runs Unity 3D in VirtualBox. [06:52] Works fine for me. :) [06:53] But it requires a) 3D acceleration to be enabled and b) Guest additions to be installed properly. [06:54] I did all that. Someone told me I should consider giving the VM 3G! out of my 4G [06:54] I think that is excessive for Linux. [06:54] Most Linux distros I run do fine in 1G or less. [06:55] and that's with FF and other heavy apps running. [06:55] I keep 30 or 40 tabs open at the same time [06:56] I was resizing a partition in my hd when the light went off. How can recover my files? [06:56] Debolaz, fedora is using llvmpipe so you dont need any 3d acceleration at all, its all done in the CPU [06:57] GameOver> [06:57] Fedora would be a nice thing if it was debian based. ;-) === beatlemonster is now known as wolfslord [06:58] Debolaz, no reason we cant use llvmpipe mesa too [06:58] itsa upstream [06:58] scientes, would that address the performance issue of unity? [06:58] (I really am not familiar with this area) [06:58] bozonius, no, not at all, it just puts more load on the CPU [06:59] agree [06:59] so what is it you are saying about llvmpipe? [06:59] hello, how to change g++'s include dir? [07:00] (for the clueless, please) [07:00] request join my page http://www.facebook.com/unixarmy [07:00] before I enlist, can I ask a question? [07:00] hi everybody [07:00] hi [07:01] Debolaz, how much memory is your ubuntu/unity install running with? [07:02] I gave mine 1G [07:02] 1 GB. But I'm not doing that much heavy stuff on it. [07:02] I wasn't either. [07:02] Just got a few tabs on FF, etc. [07:02] had a couple of tabs open in F [07:02] yeah [07:02] same here [07:02] i have a question concerning the registration of a nickname, is here anybody how can help me? [07:02] but it was slowing the hardware down. Even my host could barely catch a breath of CPU cycles [07:02] anakapeng_, #freenode [07:02] hi, my ubuntu server which server a alocal lan suddenly went offline over the weekend. I rebooted and now is all ok, but where do i check to see what caused this, are there certain log files to look at ? [07:03] anakapeng_: /join #freenode [07:03] by [07:03] Does anyone have a clue on how can I recover files from a corrupted partition fliesystem? Any help welcome [07:04] restore from backup? [07:04] Wish i had [07:04] fsck? [07:04] arg, my transmission is at 2.33 because im still on the LTS release, however the source code for it is at 2.51... if i was going to roll it by hand, how much of the previous version should i remove if any? [07:04] hi everybody [07:05] Fsck wont work. It is sayng the block something is corrupted [07:05] wolfbyte, what filesystem? [07:05] Ext4 [07:06] wolfbyte, you can use an alternate superblock [07:06] however i dont know much about that [07:06] I was resizing it when the power went off [07:06] will fsck remove my hard disk errors? [07:07] I dont know about that either. I tried some but no luck [07:07] i cant get the ubuntu livecd to run on my laptop [07:07] I was resizing it when the power went off [07:07] ouch [07:07] have a amd/ati hybrid graphics [07:08] If i create a new pertition with gparted, will it erase everything in it? [07:08] Dryanta, you try booting it with some of the other video options? [07:09] ohptlabs: unaware as to how to do so [07:09] wolfslord: well if you "create" a partition, it will be blank [07:09] only linux i have gotten to work with the graphics is slitaz [07:09] and that took a hell of a lot of work :p [07:09] but cant seem to get my wifi to work [07:10] this hp pavilion g7 is a bitch hardware wise [07:10] If i create it is there any way i can recover the files that were in it using some program, if yes which program should i use [07:11] Dryanta, when it has the list of options move you keyboard to the bottom one i believe and you'll be able to type things in the command that the cd uses when booting [07:11] wolfslord: you're not making sense... if you 'create' a partition, it is blan [07:11] *blank [07:12] i didnt have a list of options [07:12] goes to a splash screen then blank almost immediately === sockpuppet is now known as Guest23925 [07:12] Ok. But, will the files be there on disk just marked as blank or will the entire disk be phisicaly erased? [07:12] KM0201, well.. kind of? if thre was already information there and yu just repartion but dont reformat then the information is technically still there, even if it may be unreadable [07:13] Dryanta, hmm.. last ubuntu i installed was i believe lubuntu 11.10 [07:13] wolfslord: what are you trying to do?.. cuz i can't make any sense of your questions [07:13] ohptlabs: i wasn't going to complicate the discussion any further [07:13] KM0201, sawie >_< [07:14] I was resizing my disk and the power went off. I cant reach my files and i wnat to know if there is any way i can do this [07:14] how do I get 11.10 installed on nvraid? [07:14] it can't install the bootloader [07:14] wolfslord: ah ok.. yeah, sorry i don't know about that one [07:15] Yeah i guess im with no luck. Thanks anyway. [07:16] well, Ubuntu 2D is even slowing my system down. I know it is Ubuntu, because it was only after I started using it that the system's performance took a hit. [07:17] guess I will have to order more memory after all... === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [07:19] bozonius, or try lubuntu [07:24] so im in the process of rolling my own transmission for source, however should i remove the install packages from 2.33 first since im rolling 2.51?

[07:31] not sure [07:31] will use mysql from apt, so not certain on how to split mount points [07:31] any advice? === wally__ is now known as Guest95365 [07:32] one partition/disk for /var [07:32] will point var to data patition [07:32] cool, will mysql be in there aswell by default?

[08:13] just trying to access files [08:13] i have windows shares setup on the main PC running XP [08:14] trying to get files off that... it was working fine till yesterday [08:14] can you access them from another box? [08:14] hmmm wait [08:14] box or laptop or whatever === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [08:15] from another ubuntu laptop, no it doesnt [08:15] either [08:16] cant ping the computer from either the laptops also [08:16] then it's probably the XP box [08:16] how do i authenticate my log in? [08:17] hmmm ok [08:17] interesting.. as to what the problem might be === bellz is now known as tdubellz [08:18] 408520 [08:18] 408520 [08:18] Boneripper_: if you can't even ping the XP box from other network nodes, the XP box is either down or not connected [08:19] the XP box is fine.. i'm just downloading photos from my camera at the moment [08:19] Boneripper so you can't ping your win XP box from ubuntu? that's normal as windows won't return a ping responce, you can use arping to get a responce from a window box [08:19] but i know what you are trying to say bud [08:19] ok === ladder3 is now known as zz|ladder3|zz === tikfreenode is now known as Tiktalik [08:21] sorry just asking an off topic question.. does anyone know how turn off all this "quit" msgs on IRC? [08:22] quit and joined messages grrr [08:22] Boneripper on pidgin there is a plugin that eliminates it [08:23] i'm on gnome IRC chat [08:25] Boneripper_: can you access the internet from your xp box? [08:26] Boneripper, could be double NAT [08:26] domson: give me a sec mate.. [08:26] hi at all [08:27] how 2 route traffic come from VM to base machine to internet ?? [08:27] domson: yes i can mate [08:28] Boneripper_: can you ping the ubuntu boxes from XP? [08:28] Boneripper_: (the XP box is connected to the same router as the ubuntu boxes, I assume) [08:28] domson: hold one [08:29] sorry whats the ipconfig equivalent for linux pleasre [08:29] ifconfig [08:29] thanks [08:30] domson: yes i can to both machines [08:30] sidd_mak: depends on the virtual machine you're using, if you're running virtualbox, ask in #vbox [08:30] Boneripper_: hmm [08:30] domson: is this the proper command; smb://192.168..... [08:30] thanx [08:30] Boneripper_: yes, if you're in nautilus [08:31] howdy, #ubuntu. I have a fresh ubuntu install with the proprietary ati drivers offered in the ubuntu install. However, with that driver, I cannot set the native resolution of my panel, and my display (plasma tv) is detected as a projector resulting in the driver underscanning. I can fix the underscan issue once with aticonfig, but I cannot set the resolution correctly. Furthermore, everything I set with aticonfig is reset as soon as the x session restar [08:31] Boneripper_: try 'smbtree smb://192.168...' on the commandline [08:31] should give you more detailed error messages than nautilus [08:32] domson: i've been using that command without any issues for the last month or so??? [08:33] Boneripper_: as soon as you find the cause, you'll know what you did last night ;-) [08:34] Boneripper_: but to find out, you need the error messages [08:36] Could not display.. Failed to retrieve share list from server. please select another viewer and try again === marcel_ is now known as Guest55265 [08:38] Boneripper_: did it ask you for your password? [08:38] nope.. it never have in the past month or so.. since i set it up [08:39] im trying to set up software raid on 12.04 - I make md0 but when the menus of partitions shows back up again, the raid device isn't in the list for me to partition [08:39] Boneripper_: if you browse the network on your XP box, can you see the shares there? [08:40] domson: yes i can mate [08:41] Boneripper_: any firewall settings on the XP box? [08:41] wtf [08:41] I've never had this issue before - am I missing something here? How do I partition my software raid volume? [08:42] DrManhattan: you don't partition it [08:42] DrManhattan: you can create a filesystem on it or install lvm there [08:42] DrManhattan: it's a volume, not a drive [08:43] Is it possible to disable the autodetect monitor feature? I'm having an issue on my Thinkpad where it's detecting my VGA monitor with an invalid refresh rate and then both my screens go black. If I unplug the VGA, the system autodetects that action and gives me my single laptop screen back. [08:43] It didn't use to do this, but somehow it started using an invalid refresh rate I think, and I don't know how to change the default that is being used when it changes my monitor config on autodetect [08:43] well this is quite different than what I'm used to [08:43] does ubuntu 1 work without unity? [08:44] can I run ubuntu 1 client under, say, fluxbox? [08:44] domson: yes but nothing has changed as ususal.. running zonealarmy [08:44] domson: yes but nothing has changed as ususal.. running zonealarm [08:44] when I got to set up LVM, it's asking me for devices. [08:45] yeah md0 isn't coming up in the lvm setup either [08:45] I can use physical drives for lvm but not the raid volume i just made [08:45] it simply doesn't show up in the partitioner list [08:47] domson: yes but nothing has changed as ususal.. running zonealarm [08:49] yeah the raid volume doesn't show up in the partition manager === wgas_ is now known as wgas [08:57] this sucks [08:58] join ###Diaspora === vincent is now known as Guest2555 [09:02] Im trying to install here, I make the raid device, but it doesn't show up in the partitioning menu even though the device is there [09:02] LVM devices show up Raid devices do not.

[09:12] auronandace: my account automatically logs in, runs startup applications and as I can see, everything is ook, but I can do anything with input devices [09:13] hi [09:13] freshman: greetings [09:14] auronandace: I mean now I'm iin comman line mode, using irssi, but when I switch to unity, everything is as I've described [09:14] antaranian: i never autologin and i don't use unity, not sure if the problem you have is with unity or compiz [09:15] guys anyone knows where bind9 log file is (virtualmin installed,ubuntu 11.10 server) [09:15] sp3ck: tried /var/log/ [09:15] i want to configure webminstats for bind9 and i cannt find the query logfile [09:15] sp3ck: i'm guesssing [09:16] auronandace: of course i've tried [09:16] auronandace: not sure whaat causes it, now when I move mouse, cursor changes positioon, when I click, it doesn't respond [09:16] auronandace: there's no "named" folder or bind.log or something like that [09:16] antaranian: sure your mouse isn't broke? [09:17] on keyyyyyboard there are some combinations, that work, like toggling between languagle layers, and some dont, as print screen [09:18] auronandace: andit's not funny about broken mouse :) [09:18] antaranian: have you tried a different mouse? [09:18] antaranian: what are you trying to click? [09:19] antaranian: left or right click? [09:20] auronandace: it doesn't make difference, I can move just cursor, but events aren't catching [09:20] even edge binding [09:20] and I still can't access applications by keyboaard [09:20] hi guys, just installed ubuntu 11.10. The problem is that I lost some graphic elements. Like when I press alt-tab it shows old style switching (like in classic mode). Same is with ctrl-alt-DOWN or UP. It moves only sideways insted of up or down (between desktops) [09:21] antaranian: does the mouse work on a different desktop environment? [09:21] auronandace: how can I check ? [09:21] antaranian: log into a different desktop environment [09:22] I mean i need to log out after autologin, but I cant [09:22] to choose another desktop === gord_ is now known as gord [09:22] antaranian: i don't know what else to suggest then [09:25] auronandace: thank you anyway [09:25] antaranian: are you using a laptop?

[09:29] auronandace, sadly, i got the same error in 11.10 [09:29] very odd. [09:29] antaranian: you get that where ? [09:30] violinappren: when i run "xev" [09:31] antaranian: is that the EXACT message you're getting? [09:31] antaranian: the whole of it? [09:32] violinappren: "xen: unable to open display" [09:33] antaranian: it's xev not xen, and are you running under a normal user or root? [09:34] ok i've had a potential unwanted access to an ubunutu web server, it looks as though log files have been deleted and a new folder created [09:34] is there a way to find out when files where deleted and a folder created [09:35] sorry, there is xev , xen was a misstype, violinappren [09:35] caddoo: you've had to have auditd running and configured for this purpose [09:36] antaranian: are you running under the normal user in the terminal? what's the output of this command: whoami [09:36] ff [09:37] looks like someone manually shut the server down [09:37] violinappren: output is "antaranian", that's my username [09:37] seem likely? http://pastesite.com/34473 [09:38] antaranian: what's the output of: echo $DISPLAY [09:39] violinappren: it shows an empty row [09:41] antaranian: export $DISPLAY=":0.0" [09:41] antaranian: then run xev again and click inside the small window [09:42] and see if the events register in the terminal [09:42] o.m.f.g. debian installs to software raid but wont boot afterwards [09:43] !omg | DrManhattan [09:43] DrManhattan: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [09:43] it's not a regular basis. I used it once. [09:43] Hi. I'm trying to partition my SSD drive with fdisk and the Live Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 CD. But when trying to create my first partition, I can only start from cylinder 3. Isn't that wierd? [09:44] !12.04 | dixon_ [09:44] dixon_: 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 [09:44] auronandace: you think fdisk is acting wierd because it's 12.04 beta2? [09:45] dixon_: i use gparted, but if you are using 12.04 it isn't supported here until released === Tiktalik is now known as SleepingTik [09:46] auronandace: ok, I see [09:46] auronandace: thanks for the info :) [09:46] dixon: try a distro like fedora, so you get rid of such errors [09:46] alteregoa: what do you mean? Should I try partition with a fedora live cd? [09:47] yes [09:48] alteregoa: what makes fedora much better than ubuntu on that? [09:48] alteregoa: a better suggestion would be partedmagic, which is actually designed for that use, as opposed to downloading a whole distro [09:48] aurondace: yes [09:48] ok use partedmagic mr dixon: you can try fedora elsehow [09:48] i use feduntu [09:49] but in general terms, will I have an aligned SSD partitions if I start on the 3rd cylinder? === eclipse_ is now known as pxeclipse [09:49] I can live without the first bytes... :) [09:51] you need to feed the cylinder with a stochastic value of 10 parts air and 1 part gasoline [09:51] dixon_: I higly recommend using [G]Parted for partitioning, or simply letting Ubuntu's installer do it for you. Among other things, [G]Parted understands fileystems, understands non-msdos labels, and follows best practivec like aligning on MiB boundaries. [09:52] Jordan_U: but I've been struggling to find how to reliably align SSD partitions in GParted. All posts online are on fdisk...? [09:53] dixon_: GParted does the right thing by default. [09:53] Jordan_U: awesome then :) I'll try immediately [09:53] alteregoa: Please stop giving nonsense responses and making offtopic comments. [09:54] dixon_: Ubuntu's installer, which uses libparted, does this as well. [09:55] Jordan_U: I'll go with GParted which is on the Live CD, I believe? [09:55] dixon_: Yes, it comes on the Ubuntu LiveCD by default. [09:55] what is the best way to see a clear indication of shutdown times and startup times of an ubuntu machine [09:55] !bootchart | caddoo [09:55] caddoo: bootchart charts your machine at boot time, to install >> sudo apt-get install bootchart << the graphic is in /var/log/bootchart after the next reboot [09:55] caddoo command 'last' [09:57] gparted crashed often [10:01] right...bash no such file or directory ubuntu [10:01] ubuntu 12 [10:01] any ideas?

[10:03] mertsas: only one? why? [10:04] theres [10:04] there's a firewall which stops updating of some, so I thought I should try updating only one [10:04] * alteregoa smell some skin yard [10:05] mertsas: no offence but that doesn't make sense [10:05] !ot | alteregoa [10:05] alteregoa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [10:13] ok auronandace [10:13] sorry [10:13] would it be possible? [10:14] hmm, I get ntpdate[5264]: no servers can be used, exiting.. if I run ntpdate.. my /etc/ntpd.conf has a server in it though [10:14] mox if the subnet is 255.255.0.0 [10:15] MonkeyDust, could you explain me please? what do you mean? i try to be more clear: i want to be able to connect either with the server machine, either with the guest switching vlan [10:15] (from a remote host) [10:16] mox explaining subnets is not easy, better find a tutorial [10:17] MonkeyDust, could you give me a resource to get it working please?

[10:23] How to get the location of settings of application installed on ubuntu ? [10:24] after setting up ubuntu 11 as nis client, ubuntu's performance becomes so slow [10:24] p3c0: i don't think there is a standard way [10:25] elements of the GUI becomes non-responsively and waits a long time after performing an action [10:26] s/non-responsively/non-responsive [10:26] drecute: using unity by any chance? [10:27] yes [10:27] but I've switched to 2D [10:28] WriteLn.Console("Hello"): [10:28] I am not linux guru. But I've booted from the live BackTrack DVD and currently I am watching a video by Vivek Ramachandran about Wireless Security. I have the earphones plugged but the sound is coming out of the laptop not the earphones?! [10:28] drecute: oh, i was hust about to say unity uses compiz by default, but if you are using unity2d you are using qt instead [10:28] just* [10:29] c0mrade______ better ask in #backtrack-linux [10:29] MonkeyDust: I am banned from #backtrack-linux. But anyhow. BackTrack is based on ubuntu. [10:29] c0mrade______: and not supported here [10:30] Okay. [10:30] c0mrade______ i guess you're banned without reason === _chris is now known as tofOz [10:30] ? [10:30] auronandace: so what exactly is the problem? [10:30] I can't work with this [10:30] No. With a reason. I did't have much of experience so I started shooting a lot of questions and that made the ops mad :P [10:31] Okay then my question is going to be a general one. [10:31] drecute: good question, i've not tried unity or unity2d so i'm not sure of the performance hit you'd get [10:31] How do I check if my ubuntu machine has a computer sleep time out? [10:32] If I am working on a 'nix machine and I am listening to music while having my earphones on, why does the sound come out of the laptop not the earphones, anyway to configure the settings and how? [10:32] auronandace: I don't think this is a problem with unity [10:32] I've been using it for a while without problems [10:32] Bluetooth headset? [10:33] this problem started when I installed nis [10:33] drecute: i've never used nis either [10:33] Another question for the ops. [10:34] If I want to create my own nix server. What kind of hardware requirements do I need for the web server? [10:34] does anyone know the cause of this problem? [10:34] Maybe a 1U Rack server with 64 GB of memory, and a Xeon CPU, is that enough? [10:35] Maybe a place that will support 500 concurrent users. [10:35] c0mrade______: wouldn't the requirements depend heavily on what you plan to do with it? [10:35] I would like to know about the headset problem too, I also have this issue. [10:36] has anyone used html5 in Lubuntu? seems I can't get anything to play, just wonder if it's on my side or youtube.com [10:36] Support about 500 concurrent users. No support for video and audio and file transfer. Support for multiple rooms and public rooms. [10:36] heavily depends on what you want to do. Serving 500 users a bunch of static pages you could most likely do on a 486. Serving 500 concurent users something that involves a lot of complex logic, database queries and general processing, maybe not. Serving 500 users analysis of the the Large Hadron Colider results in real time, not a hope etc ... [10:36] c0mrade______, Paarthunax: are these headsets with 3.5mm connectors, or bluetooth etc? Sometimes the jack sense doesnt work for some chipsets [10:37] Maybe I think about using Apache server. [10:37] i cannot edit networking properties [10:37] Paarthunax: They are standard earphones with a standard jack. No bluetooth. [10:38] I solved the jack issue by not inserting all of the plug. [10:38] Mine is a bluetooth one [10:38] Hi, I have some doubts regarding grub2 [10:38] how to find the location of the directory in ubuntu [10:39] drecute: explain.... [10:39] Pumpkin-: I'll be probably using PHP on the server side and html/javascript on the client side and I'll use an IRC server and customize it to my needs. [10:39] I have just installed precise and grub has been installed in the mbr. This is a dualboot system and I want to reinstall grub2 in the ubuntu partition [10:39] ANub_: I just configured nis client on ubuntu 11 desktop [10:40] jblanca better ask in #ubuntu+1 [10:40] I know that I can do it with grub-install, but I don't know if the next time grub is update it will overwrite th mbr again. [10:40] Well the issue here is the bandwidth. [10:40] and symptoms of that is whether I launched an action, it takes a long time to respond [10:41] c0mrade______: before you setup for 500 concurrent users you can setup you home unit with dhcp to probly handle 10 or more users depending on content [10:41] Any idea regarding how to specify where grub2 should be installed on updates? [10:41] coupled with that, my networking connection in which nis, DNS, likewise depends on is disaled and wn't allow me to edit it [10:41] c0mrade______: sorry dhcp = adsl [10:41] My ISP gives limited bandwidth down=4GB up=1.5GB downspeed=1Mbps upspeed=200Kbps every extra 1GB per month costs 7$. [10:42] drecute:Odd....however why would u wanna use NIS.........it poses a serious security threat if used with dynamic IP [10:42] c0mrade______: then limit you server activity, when you get the trafic then move to a virtual system that can handle the trafic [10:42] ponrajuganesh: have you tried $locate [directory]? [10:42] c0mrade______: 4gb monthly allowance and you want to run a server? [10:42] i'm not using dynamic IP [10:43] Well HeHe. I am trying to work it out. [10:43] There might be a solution. [10:43] I mean it's an issue but... [10:43] ya that works Paarthunax thanks [10:43] c0mrade______: you can also change your contract with your ISP or change ISP [10:43] what is the command to start and stop the tomcat? [10:44] It's there's a user sending 1Kb in the public room that contains 100 users he's uploading 100Kb. Damn! [10:44] c0mrade______ 4GB for 500 users? [10:44] drecute: Are you using GUI....Network-Manager..? [10:44] Well I can change the contract with the ISP as sacarlson said. [10:45] I also modified the network parameters myself in /etc/network/interfaces. But that won't still make the GUI network manager to become enabled [10:45] yes I am === Zeroedout_ is now known as zeroedout [10:46] I am worried more about the webserver hardware cost, the webserver setup, the website code... [10:46] drecute: which Ubuntu version you are using..? [10:46] 11.10 [10:46] drecute: you want a static address? should be posible from network-manager, if you changed interfaces file pastebinit for us to see [10:47] drecute: have you tried stopping and starting network-manager service from terminal..? [10:47] :P people are starting to use IPv6 [10:47] c0mrade______: there's lots of free php code the server take almost nothing compared to the bandwidth needed [10:47] yes. static address. [10:47] drecute: have you tried stopping and starting network-manager service from terminal..? [10:47] yes [10:47] Well that's good. [10:48] I don't want the server to take up half of the bandwidth lol. [10:48] I did /etc/init.d/networking restart [10:48] auronandace: I don't really care if it makes sense, but is it possible? [10:48] mertsas: why would your firewall block one update but not another? [10:48] drecute: networking is separate from network-manager [10:49] Hello People [10:49] try "service network-manager restart" [10:49] mertsas: if you are updating just the one repo and you install updates you might end up having dependency issues and things will break [10:49] ok [10:50] c0mrade______: with an ISP of 10Mbs bandwidht you could live with a very small 1.7 ghz cpu and 512meg dram, hardware is nothing, you might want a big disk drive to play with [10:50] done that [10:50] no luck still [10:50] I have a problem, i have tor browser configured and works well but this website keep blocking and canceling my accounts i create with them so i was wondering if they is another way to go about this [10:51] how to check whether a location exists or not ? [10:51] drecute: I seem to have missed your pastebin of /etc/network/interfaces did you post it for us to see? [10:51] ponrajuganesh use locate [10:52] brun0l3z, not really an ubuntu issue, is it? some sites do not accept tor-traffic. [10:52] drecute: does your network-manager GUI shows you any options..? [10:52] and r those selectable [10:52] Guys I need help, I've just accidentally removed my /etc/rc.local [10:53] ANub_: if he modified /etc/network/interfaces then network-manager no longer controls it [10:53] bel3atar, just create it again [10:53] ANub_: sorry he = drecute [10:53] sacarlson: doesn't networkmanager overwrite /etc/network/interfaces ? [10:54] drecute: does your network-manager GUI shows you any options..? [10:54] and r those selectable [10:54] only Edit connections is enabled [10:54] here: http://codepad.org/vRTGLTKw [10:54] sacarlson: What do you think about this one --> http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=1u+rack+server+with+64+gb+of+ram&hl=en&biw=1280&bih=536&prmd=imvns&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=9057710692162008529&sa=X&ei=vPmLT7TxBMGg0QXGq9jLCQ&ved=0CHkQ8wIwBA [10:54] auronandace: not as far as I know, maybe at install? but I was told the method to set static was to modify /etc/network/interfaces [10:54] How important is it to start SSD partitions on the second cylinder? I've noticed that newer versions of GParted automatically aligns the partitions correctly, but it does it from the first cylinder on the device. [10:55] sacarlson: ah, i may be remembering wrongly then, thanks for the info [10:55] c0mrade______: for one thing you will also need a rack to mount it in and seems it comes with no mem [10:56] Reason why I ask regarding what cylinder to start the first SSD partition on is because some claim starting on the 2nd cylinder is better? [10:56] drecute: this is wat you posted in /etc/network/interfaces.....? [10:56] rumpe1, and fill it with what? [10:56] I know I've got an old empty rack chassis. And yeah. I'll upgrade it with as much RAM as it'll need. [10:56] I have removed the entry in /etc/network/interfaces and restarted network-manager [10:56] rumpe1: and fill it with what? [10:56] no luck still [10:57] bel3atar, whatever you like. Maybe it should be set executable. It's just a script, which (if it exists), will be executed on boot [10:57] yes [10:57] !ot | c0mrade______ [10:57] c0mrade______: #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! === navajo is now known as JelloPop [10:57] What's up hateball? [10:57] :P [10:57] drecute: what setting are you trying to acheave? ipaddress, mask, gateway ? [10:57] bel3atar, the default rc.local consists of just a script without any commands (just commented lines) [10:57] c0mrade______: Just letting you know this channel is for Ubuntu support, rather than general inquiries :) [10:58] rumpe1: OKI thanks a lot [10:58] c0mrade______ please /join #ubuntu-offtopic for your kind of questions [10:58] Oh yeah. [10:58] Awesome! [10:58] drecute: r u using wifi right now to chat......or is it another PC...? [10:58] another PC [10:59] dixon_, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual Cylinder alignment seems to be for compatibility with old OS like DOS [10:59] drecute: r u sure ..... ur network cable is plugged in right....? [11:00] 'cause if its not.....u will not see Auto-Eth in network-manager applet [11:00] dixon_, "MiB alignment provides enhanced performance when used with RAID systems and with Solid State Drives, such as USB flash drives." ... "Cylinder/Head/Sector ... no longer valid to use .. to achieve enhanced performance" [11:00] yes [11:00] i can ping other computers in my network [11:01] from ubuntu PC....? [11:01] drecute: so you failed to add a default gateway route [11:01] rumpe1: ah, yeah. thanks! :) I think I'm good to go then [11:02] drecute: have u tried using "ifconfig" command and adding a manual route [11:02] rumpe1: u running arch linux === black is now known as Guest13792 [11:03] JelloPop, not at the moment [11:03] if that works for you....and network-manager still stuck then you can try uninstalling and reinstalling network-manager from ubuntu software center [11:03] drecute: have u tried using "ifconfig" command and adding a manual route [11:03] if that works for you....and network-manager still stuck then you can try uninstalling and reinstalling network-manager from ubuntu software center [11:03] rumpe1: Figured u might be in arch linux most people dont now the full package name for the network-manager-applet... [11:04] ANub_: drecute: all these values are changeable in network-manager I think drecute is lacking for a minimal static address with routes and dns services [11:04] rumpe1: I know most of them cause I run Xmonad and now arch linux.. :) [11:04] sacarlson: it seems drecute's Network-manager is either stuck or crashed [11:05] drecute don't forget to add a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf [11:05] ANub_: that would of happened after he modified the interfaces file so he won't let us peak at that and provides no info of the values he will need to know to setup a working routed connection [11:06] rumpe1: Can u tell me what the best chance I have at running virtualbox with 2 gigs of ram cpu i70 which is 2ghz ? [11:06] drecute: try what i've suggested above [11:07] hopefully it will work [11:07] rumpe1: tried to run linux mint 64 and it is slow in virtualbox.. It almost crashed... [11:08] ok [11:08] JelloPop, i would suggest to ask that question in the proper channel ( irc://irc.spotchat.org/linuxmint-help ) [11:08] first make sure u r able to assign ip address using ifconfig [11:08] then bring up the interface using [11:09] ifconfig eth0 up [11:09] (or better, ip) [11:09] then add manual route [11:09] i used network-admin. Now it is not working anylonger [11:09] and see if communication happens [11:09] "The configuration could not be loaded" [11:09] rumpe1: I need help with virtual box its to slow! [11:09] rumpe1: can u help in ubuntu chat [11:10] drecute: use "ifconfig "your-interface" IP-add netmask up [11:10] Hey guys. Is there a way I can share my laptop internet connection with my android? (Without Wifi, 'cause that doesn't work between my system and phone). I mean to use the USB cable. :) I want to do that because the laptop bandwidth is more and faster [11:10] Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backens: Activation of org.freedesktop.SystemToolBackens timed out [11:10] * rocket16 uses Ubuntu 11.10 btw [11:10] ANub_: on it [11:11] rocket16 start here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android [11:12] hostname lookup failure [11:12] * drecute trying to edit /etc/hosts [11:12] MrElendig: thanks for the help earlier today in Archlinux this is archboxman thank you I understand key ring now [11:13] drecute: just execute the command as i wrote [11:13] yeah [11:13] use "ifconfig "your-interface" IP-add netmask up [11:13] Doing that. Thanks MonkeyDust [11:13] it says "+ Host name lookup failure" [11:14] thats odd......it shldnt [11:14] i've been trying to install ubuntu server 11.10 using unetbootin and it looks like grub isnt installing correctly because it wont boot, no errors are given during installation and after running "grub-install" using the live CD it still doesn't work, even though there were no errors [11:14] if u run ifconfig eth0 [11:14] does it show u any output [11:14] so how do i config grub and what should i change [11:14] ANub_: he edited /etc/hosts [11:15] yes [11:15] shows what's in /etc/network/interfaces [11:16] then run ifconfig eth1 up [11:16] drecute: another option is you can override network-manager for a session with a script like this http://pastebin.com/jPmRs0GJ [11:16] as u have shown its ur eth1 interface [11:16] then ping ur own interface [11:17] whether using grep could we find whether a string is found in another string? [11:17] and afterwards ping other PCs on the same network [11:17] hello. I have mysql running inside a schroot environment. I can't connect at database from apache: I receive "can't connect" for localhost and if I put the machine IP I receive "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111". Somebody can help me? [11:17] hello. I have mysql running inside a schroot environment. I can't connect at database from apache: I receive "can't connect" for localhost and if I put the machine IP I receive "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111". Somebody can help me? [11:17] if successful add a default route and point it to ur gateway to go to internet\ [11:17] saulo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:17] all works fine [11:18] the network config is fine [11:18] my my only problem is that ubuntu is refusing to start some GUI apps [11:18] try reinstalling those applications [11:18] e.g i want to leave the AD domain and it won't start likewise [11:19] whether could we use grep to find a string contains other string? [11:20] ponrajuganesh: echo outside_string| grep inner_string [11:20] i dont need internet on this for now [11:20] saulo: schroot environment? is that normal? what guide did you use to set it up? do you have a link? [11:21] i can do that when I need to [11:21] Afternoon, can anyone help me with a small issue with Skype on ubuntu 12? [11:21] !12.04 | Greyze [11:21] Greyze: 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 [11:24] Have an odd problem with Skype, when someone calls, I hear the ringing sound.. but theres no actual button or notification I can press to accept the call. Am I being dull and its hidden somewhere, or is this some bug? [11:24] when is 12.04 officially be released? [11:25] sacarlson: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/566 and installed Mysql inside. Connections inside works good, connections from other machines dont === pieter__ is now known as piether [11:25] computer_ april 26 [11:26] i cant wait that long! :( [11:26] :) [11:26] computer_ you can use the beta, suport in #ubuntu+1 [11:26] i want the full release not beta [11:27] computer_ April 26 [11:27] hehe [11:27] computer_ if you look it up on google you can track the ubuntu development of it [11:27] its like a special holiday, cant wait! [11:28] computer_ final coment: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [11:28] saulo: ok that just limits users to access certain apps wow then I guess you should also post your configs for schroot, not sure why this would be needed [11:28] computer_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [11:28] :) [11:28] Ah he beat me to it [11:29] saulo: mysql already has control to limit access that you will also have to set [11:30] saulo: maybe setup a normal mysql system with your remotes then add this layer of security after you figure out the normal security built into mysql [11:30] nice link [11:31] I'm trying to install right now, but Ubiquity seems to be stuck on "Removing conflicting operating system files", should I restart or wait it out? [11:31] matt_: what install method did you use? [11:31] matt_: and for how long have you been waiting? [11:31] shape: liveusb [11:31] shape: around 15 minutes [11:32] matt_ Does Ubuntu have its own partition? [11:32] Or did you install it alongside windows [11:33] shape: yeah, Ubuntu is being installed (/) on a USB, /home is on a separate harddrive [11:33] sacarlson: more information about: I have 3 machines: (1) mysql and ruby systems (2) with Apache + PHP5.2 (3) with Apache + php 5.3 . All with schroot and needing connect with the databases.. [11:33] I feel I should confess that I'm installing precise, but +1 is dead atm [11:33] sacarlson: [11:34] saulo: so I suggest skip the schroot part for now or for ever [11:34] matt__: I see. I never installed from a usb and I have no experience with 12. So I shouldn't give bad advice but if I were in your situation I would just redo it. I'd wait max 30 minutes. [11:35] saulo: or at least leave it out of the mysql part, maybe still ok for your developers to limit there access [11:36] shape: yeah, nothing can really go horribly wrong here, so I guess it's pointless to wait it out [11:36] matt__: The reason I asked was in case you were installing it on the same partition as windows, only then I would have worried. === basti2 is now known as basti [11:37] shape: yeah, I'm not into Windows ;) [11:37] how do i make so i can 64 or 32 bit ubuntu on usb? [11:38] how do i make so i can run 64 or 32 bit ubuntu on usb? === wanglan is now known as hhxx [11:38] saulo: oh maybe your problem has nothing to do with schroot you just need to open some of your mysql accounts to be accessed by some of your other servers [11:38] Does anyone here have any advice on how to convert a friend to Linux (he is using a MAC), because all he does is just surf the web and email anyway. I haven't used a MAC and I don't know any good arguments about its software (apart from not being open source and the machine costing a lot). Are there any flaws system-wize? [11:38] i have 8gb usb key [11:39] computer_, dowmload the ISO 32 bit which can be run on both 32 and 62 [11:39] Hi. Why can I read a blueray file (or x264) without problem? My pc is quite recent and the video card very good. but... I always see glitches in the screen. The only way I have been able to watch that kind of movie is with *cvlc*. But sometime it doesn't work very good, like other players. [11:39] mathews, really? cool! [11:39] saulo: the overlaped security adds to the complexity to isolate your problem for me [11:39] thanks! [11:40] why some text missing here on xchat which I entered? [11:40] aboudreault: you mean play a HD movie in ubuntu? Gives you choppy graphics in the player? [11:40] shape: personally, I wouldn't waste my time. Mac folk tend not to deal well with arguments [11:40] some part of my text missing when it entered [11:41] irc server issue i guess [11:42] mathews: I've noted that everytime my systems dhcp lease expires my irc has to reconect, not sure why, could be just me [11:43] I am having a check in the preference section to see whats wrong [11:44] computer_: or with 8gb flash drive you could create a multiboot usb drive [11:44] mathews: you could also try a different program and see if the same thing happens [11:44] i think if u type too many lines too fast it does that by irc server [11:45] yeah but using just 32 would be easier [11:45] yes,sure. Let see [11:45] computer_: I've never tried this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/07/easily-create-a-multiboot-usb-stick/ [11:46] ill take a look [11:46] computer_ sacarlson i've used muti [11:46] computer_ sacarlson i've used multisystem [11:46] MonkeyDust: did you try this one that creates it for you? [11:46] computer_ sacarlson difference with unetbootin is, that multisystem copies the locales [11:47] MonkeyDust: oh unetbootin already supports multiboot now? [11:47] copies = takes over [11:48] sacarlson that's another differnce, multisystem uses a grub-like menu [11:48] got a link mokey? [11:48] my problem solved,I increased the "shorten tab labels to" to 50 in the chennel switcher [11:48] computer_ http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [11:48] nice to have choices like this [11:48] computer_: ya and pendrivelinux.com has all the cool stuf like that [11:49] sacarlson: thanks anyway! I partially solved changing the bind-addres value from 127.0.0.1 to the machine IP (192.168.254.253) at my.cnf . Partially because I don't know if will appear some problem related yet, but going test :) [11:49] but funny with all this muliboot stuf I still can't get a single ubuntu alternate iso to boot from a flash drive or added menu in grub2 [11:50] hmm [11:50] shape, yes, exact. [11:50] is it possible to remove the messaging applet from the unity panel? [11:51] shape, something like the image is not rendered without glitches.... ie, an horizontal line that goes up. (image drawing) [11:51] bourke: I think it might remove something else you might want to keep like the time or volume, I could be wrong about this [11:51] bourke: should be., i recall the webupd8 blog site having a list of tweaks and tips. I think that was one of them === marius is now known as Guest37368 [11:52] #python [11:52] i would have thought it should be easy but haven't turned up much so far in google [11:53] bourke: check the webupd8 site and the askubuntu.com site [11:54] got it :) indicator-messages [11:54] bourke: when removed do you still see your volume control? [11:55] hey guys, i have downloaded warzone from their website.. but while installing its giving error sdl is missing.. i searched apt-get, and warzone is available there. so how can i only install dependencies using apt-get [11:55] used to be people would right click/remove - and it would remove the whole indicator-applet panel thing. :) so removeing all indicatlr-applets i recall. [11:55] Xtreme: its a newer version on the site>? [11:56] Xtreme: apt-get build-dep warzone (i think [11:57] if the download from the site is a .deb you could use gdebi to pull in all needed deps. [11:58] hmm i wonder if pdanet works with ubuntu [11:58] computer_: that xdgteather app thats out does.. no idea on pdanet [12:00] heheh found it, lets see if it works http://junefabrics.com/bin/PdaNet.deb [12:00] bourke: got error [12:00] source required as uri [12:00] its for iphone?! :( [12:01] iphone sux [12:01] computer_: I guess pdanet is just like wifi tether? [12:01] usb [12:01] i got it to work with windows..no luck with linux [12:01] computer_: oh ok, I just use wifi for that stuf [12:01] w === trevor is now known as Guest71555 [12:01] i use my htc sprint to share internet with my pc [12:02] free [12:02] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1585550 Anyone have a solution for this old thread? Because it's still a problem, a huge one that's totally ruining the OS for me. [12:02] computer_: same as wifi tether as you android becomes an access point that a group can also share [12:02] but then again i guess i could virtualbox win and use it [12:03] u have to pay 30 extra dollars to sprint to be able to share internet [12:03] with ur phone [12:03] ur pc i mean [12:03] computer_: how can they tell you running a wifi tether?

[12:05] computer_: I'm speaking of a different application that does the same thing on wifi for an android, I don't know how sprint can detect it [12:05] whats the app called? [12:06] The carriers can detect it if you are teathering apraently and give you a nasty suprise.. [12:06] computer_: there are many you can google " wifi tether " [12:06] some apps the use usb-cables. aparently are not detectable. they yse some proxy method [12:06] isnt that an adroid default function - as long as the carrier allows it? [12:06] hmm my coworker been using it for months no surprises [12:06] i had no need to install anything special - to be able to share my whatever network [12:07] Hey i need some help guys [12:07] zayan: hi - whats the problem?

[12:58] when i run update-grub under 1204, it finds vmlinuz-3.2 from 12.04 and the older ub 11.10 (as well as memtest and a win7). this is what i want, but when i reboot it seems like sda is just redirecting straight to sdc and giving me the old boot menu where precise is under a submenu [12:58] i've looked at /boot/grub/grub.cfg and it looks alright [12:59] Hola grupo...

I will check their website [14:44] is there a d/l for 11.10 with out unity [14:44] it's not an issue with mint, the irc channel is up and running, I'm in it.

To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [14:46] l3d: gnome3 is available via the repos, you'd need to use the mini iso [14:46] auronandace, 11.10 uses it already [14:46] bazhang: i meant that if you wanted to avoid having unity at all [14:47] how hard is it to find and install graphic card drivers in ubuntu?

[15:02] Iszak, i dont use them myself i just know that one of the things ksh/zsh are noted for are globbing [15:02] Iszak, http://linuxshellaccount.blogspot.com/2008/07/fancy-globbing-with-zsh-on-linux-and.html [15:03] epic === DaZ_ is now known as DaZ [15:04] Iszak, or just pwd with some awk [15:04] that's too long tbh [15:04] and that only works for parents, what about children? [15:04] hey usually ill do cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history and itll erase all my history but when i put it in the rc.local stgartup script it never works...i know rc.local is activiated [15:04] sure, find command, but again, less than desirable. === quinn17 is now known as hp === vincent is now known as Guest2631 [15:09] Iszak, foo(){ [15:09] > cd `pwd | sed -e "s#\(.*/$1\)/.*#\1#"` [15:09] > } [15:10] Iszak, and what you are describing wouldn't work for children. what if there are multiple subdirs matching the pattern? [15:10] you'd just match the first one. [15:10] bang, done. [15:11] or print out the possible opportunities citing ambiguity [15:13] fellayaboy, have you checked roots bash_history. I'm pretty sure its gone [15:14] how do i make services stop starting automatically on startup? [15:14] fellayaboy, also there is a command for this history -c [15:15] escott oh so hisgtory -c will clear it [15:15] txdv: upstart services get started from their /etc/init/whateer.conf file. you can rename it to be like whatever.dontrun (is one way) [15:15] !upstart [15:15] oh look at that ur right [15:15] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [15:15] thanks [15:16] yeah but there must be some default naming conventions or tools that do that job for me [15:16] so if i where to do cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history it will only clear the roots history rather than the user? [15:16] if i put it in rc.local??... [15:16] txdv: not sure of any gui tools that do that for upstart === Paarthunax is now known as Slype [15:16] command lines are good enough [15:17] rename foo.conf to foo.dontrun is all i ever do ;) [15:17] the dirty linux way [15:17] oo you bad boy === uictamale1 is now known as UICTamale [15:17] txdv: err.. its how the upstart docs say to do it i belive. [15:17] or edit the .conf file and put some dontstart item in it i recall. [15:18] how about the rc* directories? [15:18] the service i want not to start appears to be in thereand not in init [15:19] those are not 'upstart' services. those are the old sysv type services. [15:19] fellayaboy, you can put it in rc.local you just have to think about who the script runs as. what i dont understand is why you would want to do this [15:19] Hello [15:19] any keywords i can use to google them [15:19] !sysv [15:19] yeah im using 11.04 [15:19] escott so i could clear the bash history of course why else [15:19] fellayaboy, but why? [15:19] upstart is actually handling the sysv stuff these days. [15:19] Hi, im trying to install libffi and it's hanging on the line "libtool: link: ranlib .libs/libffi_convenience.a" - anyone got any ideas whats going on? [15:20] this is in the make [15:20] fellayaboy, if you just want less bash history thats easily modified by changing .bashrc. if you want to disable history you can do that [15:20] oh wait [15:20] hang on [15:20] dont like people viewing my history..file i edit...plus loony balloonies trying to copy my commands and doing stuff they dont know how to do [15:20] i had the console scrolled up *facepalm* [15:21] escott how do i disable bash history [15:21] make the history file only readble by root.. :) [15:21] fellayaboy, presumably set these to 0 # for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1) [15:21] HISTSIZE=1000 [15:21] HISTFILESIZE=2000 [15:21] Hi [15:21] escott: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:22] My ubuntu box is competely freezing. it has done it twice in the last two weeks. I can't ping it, or get alt+sysreq reisub to even do anything. [15:23] OK HOLD ON brb [15:23] is there any logs or anything i can look at that might hint what it is doing or causing it to freeze? [15:23] yeik demsg [15:23] If I install Ubuntu 12.04 daily now, Ubuntu will update every day before de final build ¿? [15:24] snaky90: yes [15:24] you mean dmesg? [15:24] ok [15:24] !final [15:24] If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. [15:24] MonkeyDust, you mean dmesg? [15:24] These updates would be like having the final version, right ? [15:25] !dmesg| yeik [15:25] yeik: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [15:25] i always install the rc, then update the day or 2 befor release.. then wait a week or 2 after release to update again. due to the servers getting overloaded on release day [15:26] escott perfect that worked for me [15:26] excellent [15:26] MonkeyDust, you originally said demsg, which is why i asked for clarification [15:27] yeik it was a typo [15:27] clear [15:27] * yeik nods [15:27] thats why I asked. [15:28] Is there anything important I am suppose to see other than it initializing hardware and stuff since i rebooted? it doesn't seem to have anything from the time it was frozen [15:28] hi [15:29] dmesg logs are not kept over reboots. [15:29] can someone help me with my suspend to ram isue? [15:29] how does that help me figure out why it froze? [15:29] monitoring dmesg via ssh from a remote box may catch somthing when it freezes [15:30] hi all, after upgrading (dont remember what packets) my ubuntu cant startup...i send 'text nomodeset' params in grub and see that loading stand at "Stopping userpsace bootsplash" [ OK ] [15:30] could be some hardware glitz, or power surge also. or other very hard to catch reason. [15:30] * yeik nods [15:30] I usually am over ssh with screen. [15:30] ive been having a problem with my vpn server..it seems that it wont take any kind of vpn..not even pptp or openvpn...i just keep getting a failed to connect....it use to work but all of a sudden it stopped...even without me editing anything..all i did was an update...my vpn server is ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition [15:31] it happened overnight, the computer is attached to a ups [15:31] if i do a ifconfig i see as0t0 through as0t3 connection [15:31] i did a iptables -F but nothing seems to work right...what could it be...could it be bugs? [15:32] Hey! Is it okay if the daemon part of my project is started automatically by an upstart job put into the /etc/init/ folder with the ubuntu desktop version ? Is there a better interface for that like we had /etc/init/apps on Harmattan ? [15:32] can someone help me with my suspend to ram isue? the suspend section looks good but wen i wont to resume i always get a reboot or a "new session" instead of my old suspended session [15:34] Is there anyone who would be so kind to tell me if i can reserve local outgoing ports for an application, i.e. apache [15:35] @steetltip do you want to see your open ports? [15:35] Steeltip, only privileged processes can listen on ports <1024. what more do you need? [15:36] no, its the following problem: my apache listens on more then 4000 Ports and sometimes when i restart my apache i process like mount.nfs uses a port my apache is configured for , too [15:36] i need also help with my suspend sh** :) [15:36] any ideas ? [15:37] Steeltip, you can restrict ports with iptables to specific groups. thats probably what you want to do [15:38] do you have a source for reading escott ? === andriy is now known as cybe [15:39] how can i configure to block all apps on port 4000 - 8000 ? and only let apache bind the ports !? [15:40] Steeltip, this shows how to prevent a user from using a port. the reverse would be to deny all and then enable that user http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/block-outgoing-network-access-for-a-single-user-from-my-server-using-iptables.html [15:40] Hmm.. not sure if iptables has a per app type feature or not. [15:40] been ages since ive looked at iptables. :) [15:40] thanks for the hint escott, i will try [15:41] apache does run as the apache user i thought. so a per user blocking would be as good i guess. [15:41] dr_willis, it would have to be by uid/gid. not sure how well it would work. esp if root opens the socket on behalf of the app [15:41] yea - this is the sort of stuff ive not needed to use in years... [15:42] i just recall some beginner guide stating 'windows blocks based on app' 'linux blocks based on port' but that may have been a very very overgeneralization [15:44] Steeltip, alternately take the ports yourself and then give them to apps you want to have them [15:46] hi [15:46] I am experiencing https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-rvm/+bug/935590 [15:46] Launchpad bug 894311 in ruby-rvm (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #935590 ruby-rvm's maintainer scripts expect the admin group to exist" [Medium,Confirmed] [15:47] do I add group admin?

Is there any way to place a dynamic net gateway parameter for this route?

Thats where the class C IP is from. I want to use the Netgear N150 not this WG111v3 one. [18:26] ActionParsnip, i've formatted to FAT32 a number of times, to no avail [18:27] I already use SSH, I also use webmin for ease of use. [18:27] xichael_: when you unplug from windows, do you safely remove the device? [18:27] If it wasnt for webmin, i likely wouldnt be using Ubuntu at all. it helped me learn alot. [18:28] xichael_: you're using a standard thumbdrive right? Not a usb partition on a mobile phone or anything like that? [18:28] xichael_: might try lubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso or ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso they are stable and are casper type that many have used as bootable usb flash installs [18:28] sacarlson, i was just here under xichael .. it disconnected me and logged me back in with this. I am attempting ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso and lubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso . neither has worked with any of the utilities i've tried.

[18:28] skel, yes, standard thumb drive [18:29] ActionParsnip, i've been safely removing each time [18:29] xichael_: good, that's important [18:29] sacarlson, i'll try 10.04 [18:29] xichael_: if all alse fails, grab a magnet and put it on one side, then the other. Then format is and try again. [18:29] xichael_: it could also be a corrupt iso =/ those are tough things to determine without already running linux [18:30] hello, im trying to build a project and I get this error, I guess I am missing a library. here is the error output: http://pastebin.com/JH5UVDgk [18:30] i've downloaded both via bittorrent [18:30] rattatoue: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/167111 [18:30] hi im new to ubuntu project , not totaly noob vith linux ! one Q:update from Beta2 to final LTS is it possible ?

May help. Use a wired connection and you can install using the repos [18:37] ActionParsnip, i'm on Windows 7 [18:37] xichael_: try at least start install win 7 on your notebook to verify that the bios is set good [18:38] probably its ur live usb creator program thats dodgy, i use unetbootin, works the best [18:38] xichael_: so? You can put the mini ISO on the USB with Win7. What does the version of windows have to do with anything? [18:40] xichael_: I'm sure you did an md5sum of the iso you put on the usb flash drive to verify it's not corrupted [18:40] xichael_: you could even be using a Mac and the process using unetbootin is the same..... [18:40] ActionParsnip, ok, i thought you were referring to something i had to do from linux [18:40] Hey can someone help me, for some reason my Ubuntu software center wont let me press the download buttton, it is just greyed out [18:40] scrub, I can help you install from command line. [18:40] alrighty [18:40] So, which program do you want? [18:40] xichael_: no, not at all. Its just a small installation that installs from the web rather than using the CD as the source of packages [18:41] scrub maybe it want you to be sudo? [18:41] xichael: boot up win 7 and vbox ubuntu until you get your fill [18:41] sacarlson, how is this done? [18:41] I am sudo === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [18:41] ActionParsnip, do you have a link for some instructions? [18:41] skiy1337, kismet-2011.03.2a.i386 is what I downloaded [18:42] !mini [18:42] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [18:42] which then opened in the software center [18:42] sudo dpkg -i *.deb [18:42] xichael_: ^ [18:42] xichael_: md5sum? from windows 7? http://www.winmd5.com/ or others [18:42] ugh, im such a windows baby. [18:43] scrub: we all were or still are babies === zz_Eledran is now known as Eledran [18:43] Well anyway, after that type: sudo apt-get -f install [18:43] sudo dpkg -i *.deb was that the command for me? [18:43] scrub, yes both of them [18:43] alright [18:45] Make sure that's the only .deb file in Downloads/ [18:45] ActionParsnip: funny I couldn't get ubuntu alternate cd to work as a usb or grub2, but I guess they have mini.iso working? [18:45] sacarlson, they matched [18:45] skiy1337, when typing in the first command I got there is no such directoy as *.deb [18:45] how would the MinimalCD help me in this case? [18:45] sacarlson: i believe it does :) [18:45] cd; cd Downloads/; sudo dpkg # etc. [18:45] xichael_: its a different ISO to try [18:45] xichael_: ok one posibility down, so how to check if bios is set correct? [18:46] ssta, are you there? [18:46] ActionParsnip: xichael_: ya and only 24 meg to down load to try [18:46] nope [18:47] well, i'm sure the BIOS is set up correctly. on all 3 machines I've tried this on, i've previouly installed Windows 7 via USB without issue [18:47] ssta, if windows recovery cd doesn't work, can I undo its changes by dd'ing the file back to the partition? [18:48] sacarlson, i'll give it a try [18:48] or should I try to repair it with testdisk first? [18:49] apparently the disk doesn't have bad sectors, I used dd_rescue and it showed 0 errors [18:49] jola: try repairing first, but you can undo the changes...this is why you took the copy in the first place [18:49] xichael_: I hope you pick the verify option on your usb or maybe do the full diagnostics on the device, they don't all work [18:50] guys, I suspect (based on reading bug reports) that pm-utils is causing some unwanted disk writes. I proceeded to uninstall it with apt, but apt wants to uninstall gnome-session as well? Anyone know why/how to get around? [18:50] ssta, I wasn't sure I could just copy it back. if not, I'd have to find a tool that can recover individual files from the partition image, but I'd have to reinstall everything, which is what I want to avoid [18:51] jola: yeah, good luck with it. [18:51] jola: and learn the lesson...backups! :) [18:51] ssta, so should I do "chkdsk c: /f" or choose "repair an existing windows installation" from the menu? [18:51] or both? in which order? [18:51] jola: I'd try the repair first, but that's just me [18:51] sacarlson, i just used this USB thumbdrive last night to install windows on another machine, but i'll look into running a diagnostic. i think sandisk has a utility... [18:52] ok [18:52] Hi All.. [18:52] Witaam ! [18:52] ssta, if that fails, do you know of a free tool that repairs NTFS signatures? [18:52] ciao [18:53] !list [18:53] zeusdark: No warez here!

I cant watch any videos on firefox. Tried to download java but it doesnt seem to work... [18:59] i better go catch some sunshine. i'll get back to this later. thanks for everyone's help! [18:59] susanne: what uses java to play vids? [18:59] susanne: chances are you don't need java for streaming video [18:59] susanne, did you install the restricted extras? [18:59] jola: welcome to disk recovery [18:59] susanne: do you have the adobe flash plugin installed? [19:00] i checked the plugins flash plugin is installed [19:00] jola: there's a reason a decent specialist will charke like $1000 to even look at something [19:00] susanne: do you get an error when a video doesn't play? [19:00] ssta, yes, but just because someone charges $1000 that doesn't make him a specialist [19:01] it only sais check plugins [19:01] maybe he just looks at it, even though he is a specialist [19:01] susanne: how did you install flash? [19:01] Ubuntu software center [19:01] ok [19:01] jola: sure. No data recovery specialist will promise to get your data back. It's hit and miss. It's a LOT easier to restore from backup than recover data on a fried filesystem [19:02] susanne: try typing 'about:plugins' into Firefox's address bar... does flash show up there? [19:02] jola: if you need to recover files off a lost filesystem, photorec works pretty well (sorry I missed the first part of the discussion) [19:02] i try [19:02] susanne, generally all you have to install is the ubuntu-restricted-extras it has plugins ms font and flash all in one. [19:03] x shockwave flash [19:03] susanne: have you restarted FF since installing flash? [19:03] yep [19:03] susanne: okay - I'm tapped out then ;-) [19:03] skel, I want to avoid having to reinstall everything. do you know how I can repair the NTFS signature? [19:04] will i find the restricted-extres in the software center [19:04] susanne, yes, please use nics in the chanel as wel. [19:04] well* [19:05] ok fyodorovna [19:05] susanne, cool ;) [19:05] jola: sorry I missed the first part of the discussion (small scrollback buffer) what happened? [19:08] Hi all === Origin is now known as Orijen [19:08] skel, after a BSOD some days ago (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, NDIS.sys) I couldn't boot windows anymore, nor mount the partition under linux. mount said the NTFS signature was missing. I copied the partition as an image to my external drive [19:08] and now want to repair the NTFS signature [19:09] Anyone have any ideas why when I boot, I have all of my shares (fstab appears to work), but if I perform a umount -a -t cifs and then a mount -a, the system returns an error saying that the fstab is incorrect? [19:10] jola: did the XP recovery tool fail? [19:11] jola: yeah if you boot off your windows install cd there should be an active parition recovery option [19:12] jola, have you tried the ##windows channel, for fixing a broken partition table. === szymon is now known as Garet [19:13] Fyodorovna, no, I only had the info that the NTFS signature was missing [19:13] I don't know what else was overwritten by that driver [19:13] teligard: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/fstab [19:14] jola, not really sure here but when I look that up it appears top be a broken partition table, may not really be fixable efficiently really. [19:14] jola: if you've cloned the disk image already and have it backed up, you could try: http://www.howtoforge.com/ntfs-disk-recovery [19:17] teligard: url ?

But next time I want to write in my ~/Documents, I should be able to just use gedit as a regular user [19:27] ssta, skel: testdisk said the bootsector was bad and I copied the backup boot sector over the boot sector, now I can mount the windows partition, I'll try to boot into windows now [19:28] DasEi: I'm trying to open it just like I used to do before encryption [19:28] n233g16: by default you should be yeah, unless you changed something. [19:28] DasEi: without using anything [19:28] wish me luck [19:28] acicula: I haven't. It's a "vanilla" install [19:29] n233g16: sudo chown -R >YourUsernameHere< ~/myDocuments that ones whole dir and subdir , but ask, if unsure [19:29] n233g16: thats odd, check that your user owns the Documents directory and that its rw for at least your user [19:29] DasEi: Thank you! [19:29] and again as said above, that's nothing about ecryptfs [19:29] acicula: Thank you ! [19:29] Hello, I have a problem with Oneiric on a eMachines e525, GPU Intel GMA 900. Resolution is only 1024x (should be 1333) and cant be changed. Research on Internet say the i965-Driver should help - but it doesnt. [19:29] Any suggestions? :/ [19:30] ones=owns , n233g16 [19:30] It was the whole directory permissions that weren't correct [19:30] n233g16: great :) [19:31] n233g16: problem with that cmd in general, it also does it to all subdirs, so be carefull not to run root [19:31] Abijar: are you sure its loaded the intel driver and not the standard vesa driver? thats why you would see the 1024x768 resolution [19:32] sera [19:32] Hm, I installed it.

[19:36] yzhd /bin is always in your path, or your system would not even be working [19:37] If I ssh to a machine and start a shell like so 'ssh -t hostname bash' I cannot type any of the characters æøå and probably many others. Why is that? Obviously starting bash that way is pointless; what I'm actually doing is starting tmux, but I guess this rules tmux out. [19:37] acicula, why do I get that error? [19:37] yzhd: what error [19:37] osse: probably due to the locale settings of your remote host [19:38] acicula, No command 'repo' found, did you mean: [19:38] Command 'rep' from package 'rep' (universe) [19:38] Command 'repl' from package 'nmh' (universe) [19:38] Command 'repl' from package 'mailutils-mh' (universe) [19:38] repo: command not found [19:38] yzhd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[19:42] yzhd: You forgot the first part of your command. shouldn't it be: git init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b gingerbread [19:42] Pici, have no idea :/ I'm following this guide : http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Compile_CyanogenMod_(Linux) [19:43] Hello!

I remember that being an easy fix, but not what it is. [19:47] roasted: killall -u $USER works, if a bit heavy handed [19:48] pici, it's just gedit I guess [19:48] yzhd: It sounds pretty self explanitory. Yes. [19:48] ActionParsnip: is that the optimum way to quietly log out, though?

[19:49] sure, trism [19:49] roasted: that 'ideal' not optimum [19:49] Issue is that one of my users does not get the menu item "VPN Connections..." and my other user account does.

Long story short, I want to create a user who runs a script when they log in. The script needs root priviledges. How can I issue root priviledges to this script when ONLY this particular user logs in? I was going to tag it in startup applications and run it via "command" but it needs sudo so I'm not sure how [20:12] sentriz|netbook: ? [20:12] DasEi - thats what it says [20:12] i would write a script and add it to his permissions [20:13] roasted: what speak against sudo? [20:13] DasEi: for performance reasons i at first only wanted to search in my PATH, doesn't updatedb index my whole filesystem? === q-rban is now known as q0rban [20:13] guntbert: pardon? [20:13] crazyandi86: yes, one time , I had my issues with find [20:14] roasted: you talked about "but it needs sudo" - where is the problem? [20:14] guntbert: if I run a root command in "startup applications" will it not prompt me for my password? [20:14] DasEi: but i mean, i can search quite fast for programs starting with program by typing "prog " [20:15] if any one has the time, and the know how, I ahve an issue with sound sometimes not working on my system. I believe that it is because ALSA is not making my audio device default. it changes with every boot… can anyone help me with setting it up so a specific device is default? [20:15] DasEi: isn't a tool out there for doing that with wildcards? [20:15] run a shell script in the users file, when he logs on it will use his password if you assign it to his login [20:15] yakster: you could have a command that runs at login and sets the sound device. [20:16] crazyandi86: you can pipe via grep, I'm not sure if I understand you [20:16] that is what I am looking for… I didnt know what owuld be the best way… [20:16] roasted: ah I see - well you can give a user the permissions to run *one command* and to not need a password with sudo - it is only a little complicated [20:16] yakster: you may find: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* [20:16] sentriz|netbook: still spilling errors ? [20:17] DasEi: i yust mean, i seriously don't want to index my whole filesys before searching a (perhaps new) command in my path [20:17] DasEi - its now "stuck" on 'setting up gnome-shell (3.2.2.1-0ubuntu0.1) ...'

I need a root command to run at login for a specific user. It's a long story... basically I'm in an elementary school running linux laptops. Cool, right? They use a local "student" account that automatically logs them in. For SOME reason, no idea why, but for some reason sometimes their home folder gets borked and we have to reset it. [20:18] guntbert: the reset? rm -rf /home/student, then cp -R it from /etc/skel, and reassign perms and ownership. [20:18] does anyone know the best way going about partitioning a harddrive to run two OS alongside each other? [20:18] sometimes I get 2 card 1's, and other times 2 card 0's [20:18] roasted: rsync --delete would be easier [20:19] maybe. [20:19] guntbert: I want to create a user named ResetProfile, with a command that runs, via root, when the ResetProfile user logs in. Then at hte end of the script, it automatically logs them out. The script has been tested and it's done. I just need a way to run it via root. [20:19] !gparted | Guest71555 [20:19] Guest71555: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[20:20] roasted: create a shell script, and tell sudo to allow the user to run it as root, but only that command [20:20] roasted: use visudo to edit /etc/sudoers, there you can allow one single user to run one single command (and without the need for a password) even with root permissions [20:21] guntbert: not sure I'm entirely following... [20:21] ok, what was the pulse command again? [20:21] roasted: but make sure that the script itself cannot be edited by that user, only read and executed. [20:21] sentriz|netbook: ctrl+c it again then [20:21] yakster: pulse is an abstraction for alsa [20:21] guntbert: I can basically tell the sudoers file to allow a user to run one specific command as root? [20:21] roasted: you can give sudo permissions to run just ONE command [20:21] sentriz|netbook:"sudo apt-get -f install [20:21] (21:16:54) ActionParsnip: yakster: you may find: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* a simple scrollup would have shown that....

[22:08] the gnome-language-support option doesn't let me use Portuguese [22:08] (even though it says I installed it already, when I go to Add/Remove languages) [22:08] clausen: did you switch over to it? [22:08] zykotick9, can't grub just bootstrap off the BIOS's support for iscsi? [22:08] skel, I can't [22:09] skel, it's greyed out [22:09] clausen: ? big question mark there - i don't know [22:09] Does anybody in here like putting metal in the microwave? [22:09] thats what I was figuring [22:09] clausen: i don't even know if iscsi has a typical mbr? never touched iscsi in my life ;) [22:10] clausen: does it show up in locale -a ? [22:10] but I don't know what the motherboard's support for iscsi boot really does [22:10] skel, everything shows up in locale -a [22:10] (sorry, not everything === jsjgruber-x-p is now known as jsjgruber [22:10] but chinese, german, ...) [22:11] (but not spanish. weird!) [22:11] Unity is way wizz on my netbook now, and wifi suspend works out of the box! [22:11] clausen: have you tried using update-locale LANG= LC_MESSAGES=POSIX ? [22:12] ukbeast: wifi suspend? [22:12] skel, $ update-locale LANG=pt_BR LC_MESSAGES=POSIX*** update-locale: Error: invalid locale settings: LANG=pt_BR LC_MESSAGES=POSIX [22:12] zykotick9, you can put an MBR on anything... [22:13] when you suspend on 11.10, wifi stopped working [22:13] clausen: what about pt_BR.UTF8 ? [22:13] skel, yes, that one works, but it wants root privileges [22:13] clausen: hmm weird [22:13] (what does update-locale do? it doesn't have a man page) [22:13] clausen: well, good luck. i have no knowledge of booting iscsi so i'm of no assistance (should have just kept my mouth shut ;) [22:14] gnome 3.4 seems to be bloated in comparison to unity? [22:14] clausen: I think it just sets those env variables and re-inits the environment so you don't have to logout /in. not positive on that though [22:14] * beandog recommends evilwm for lightweight goodness === jsjgruber is now known as Guest12428 [22:15] I probably shouldn't say that here. [22:15] skel, ah, ok [22:15] beandog: link please :) [22:15] ukbeast: nothing [22:15] Hello, I accidentally typed sudo apt-get remove [22:15] I need help in restoring my system >.< [22:15] I have so far installed ubuntu-desktop, unity and gnome again [22:15] I dont know what else I need to install to restore system [22:16] is anyone able to help me? [22:16] beandog: ok [22:16] skel, this gives me portuguese help: LANG=pt_BR.UTF8 ls --help [22:16] lionofgod how far can you get? [22:16] skel, what I'm really interested in is being able to use ibus for portuguese, hindi, and other scripts [22:16] I have unity working [22:16] my login screen is kind of messed up [22:17] clausen: yeah you could just try setting LANG=pt_BR.UTF8 in your .bashrc but I don't know if the Window manager will pick that up [22:17] but it seems my files are okay [22:17] clausen: I'm not familiar with ibus, whats that? [22:17] what needs to be installed? [22:17] I ahve no diea [22:17] clausen: is that like a replacement for dbus? [22:17] is their any log [22:17] skel, it's a keyboard entry method [22:17] that gets filled when apt-get remove is run? [22:17] skel, no, it's not related to dbus [22:17] I know that my mic is not working right now [22:17] open terminal and press Up key [22:18] but I can hear stuff [22:18] it shows history in terminal [22:18] clausen: ah ok [22:18] I would like to use an Japaneseinput method that is at least as good as Microsoft IME [22:18] ?

[22:19] sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python [22:19] how can I check if improtant system files are missing?

I can't think of anywhere on this network that would be helpful [22:21] what software must have been uninstalled for mic not to work?

[22:42] I still use flash player 10.3 cause adobe removed the acceleration [22:42] _r00t_ ah, do you know where I can change the default settings for screen brightness in lxde? [22:42] tbrown2012: ah that notice is because some propriatary drivers do not get installed by default, which is why you have to activate them. They get installed in the same place as the normal ones. Though you dont necessarily need to install the propriatary amd drivers though you wont get much in the way of 3d acceleration then [22:43] Is it normal for a laptop to have temp 60 * for 1-2 seconds after I start a programm ?

[22:56] <_Marcus> Anyway, is it possible to install Ubuntu without having GRUB on my system? I noticed it goes over Windows' boot loader [22:57] I have a question located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZYgwJVmn2Y thanks for your time [22:57] any pointer to links or anything would be helpful at this point === andy_ is now known as Guest86521 === zz|ladder3|zz is now known as ladder3 [23:00] bobweaver: why not just ask your question here? [23:01] desura wont install or update can someone please help [23:01] because it is long and hard to type out that much It would flood the place :) [23:01] _Marcus: you can opt to install grub on a separate usb stick, and then boot from that instead, but you will need grub or some bootloader capable of loading the linux kernel [23:02] what is the command for root [23:02] <_Marcus> So I need GRUB? [23:02] <_Marcus> tbrown2012: To run a command as root, type "sudo " before the command [23:02] Woohoo! I got it working [23:02] Hi, I've got a new computer and I'm gonna be installing Ubuntu. Now can anyone suggest me if I should go for the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Beta2 or 11.10? [23:02] !root [23:02] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:03] so now I just have to figure out how to make my easycap load up 4 video devices and i'm good to go [23:03] ArchNemesis, 12.04 HANDS DOWN [23:03] _Marcus: more or less yeah [23:03] <_Marcus> Hm.. Is Wubi a virtual machine? Like VMWare? [23:03] lol @ whoever put that into ubottu [23:04] _Marcus: no its not [23:04] _Marcus: Sorry that not what am looking for make the root:tbrown2012@HP:~$ or something like that [23:04] sorry ArchNemesis thatwas for Arturas [23:04] <_Marcus> tbrown2012: So you wish to log into root? [23:04] _Marcus: Yes [23:04] Marcus wubi is like a .exe that instals onto the system not virtual at all [23:04] <_Marcus> tbrown2012: Type "sudo su" [23:05] _Marcus: I keep forgetting that sorry:) [23:05] !sudo su [23:05] _Marcus: all wubi does is instead of using a partition as a root file system it uses a file as its root filesystem. [23:05] Marcus plz tell users to use sudo -i for root as sudo su is more danger [23:05] <_Marcus> acicula: So does it require GRUB still? [23:06] <_Marcus> bobweaver: Sorry, didn't know [23:06] wubi uses windows boot manager, it doesn't use grub. [23:06] <_Marcus> Great [23:06] _Marcus, No grub it is like a exe file like any other file that you install on a windows computer [23:06] bobweaver, but why is 12.04 a beta then? Sounds kind of scary... [23:06] what will sudo apt-get -dist upgrade do again [23:06] bobweaver, isn't sudo -s better? [23:06] or deed it do that wrong [23:07] tbrown2012, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades to the next distribution release. [23:07] bobweaver what is dangerous about sudo and su? [23:07] ugh weak - I can only use 1 input at a time [23:07] Arturas, I have been using 12.04 for about 6 months now and had to go back to 11.10 real quick last night and was like Wow there is such a differennce [23:07] well, for 20 bucks a piece I guess I can just order 3 more [23:07] Is 12.04 stable enough? [23:08] Well I mean does it feel stable enough? [23:08] clausen, su changes user, sudo will time out. if you forget to log off the terminal, it is very dangerous and it is a much safer practice [23:09] how to install package that deed not install all the way or something [23:10] tbrown2012, i believe it is sudo apt-get install -f [23:10] yeik, but most users don't only care about attacks over the network? [23:10] you might have to do dpkg configure -a [23:10] Arturas: if you are familiar with ubuntu i suppose its fine if you are willing to experiment a bit. [23:10] ok, so how do I check my OS version? [23:10] in terminal [23:11] Arturas: lsb_release -a [23:11] yeik, (s/don't//) [23:11] err meant Areckx [23:11] hi everybody [23:11] urbuttoo lol [23:11] ^^^ [23:11] buttes [23:11] acicula:: thought so hehe [23:11] penises [23:11] acicula:: thanks [23:11] 10.04.4 [23:12] clausen, imagine running a command as root that you forgot was actually in a root terminal. deleting a wrong file or directory. or most often, attacks that want your data are local. its much easier to get access physically. [23:12] Will I got all of my updates Know am going to install xfce know better I think I dont like the apps in the left side [23:12] also, the possibility of hijacking your session. [23:12] Is Ubuntu GUI based? [23:12] yeik, most people have a separate window for root commands? [23:12] jacking your ses [23:12] hi tasmania [23:13] yeik, and if someone hijacks your session, you are screwed anyway? [23:13] Hello, I am able to wtach youtube videos but cannot watch anyother videos [23:13] tasmania sup! [23:13] I think it may be because I am using html5 for youtube [23:13] clausen, if your not root, they don't necessarily have your password. and everybody is different. it is just much safer. You don't have to lock your front door on your house [23:13] yeik, if someone gets unprivileged access, they can just alias "sudo" to something that logs keystrokes [23:13] Tasmania: yes [23:13] I jsut reinsalled chromium [23:13] clausen, but it is much safer to keep it locked at all times. [23:13] aye. [23:14] how do i change the default python version on ubuntu? i just installed python 3.2.3 from source but it still says 2.7.2 is default [23:14] yeik, I don't see how it's any safer... in fact, I would think it's safer to abolish passwords, and have a root window (that can only be access locally) [23:14] clausen: thats how it works now [23:15] (i.e. abolish passwords for priviledge elevation) [23:15] So uh, on Vsftpd, I have local users enabled, and write enabled. But when I login with local user, I can't upload? Permision denied even to my own home dir.... :*( [23:15] I cant watch videos online, can someone help me? [23:15] I jsut reinstalled chromium [23:15] acicula, I still have to type passwords for privilege elevation... [23:15] but on firefox and chrome videos are not working [23:15] (even with policykit) [23:15] clausen: you have to type your own password yes [23:15] clausen, passwords aren't safe. they are a deterrent. nothing is secure. only make it harder to get to. What if i don't have physical access to my machine? ie a virtual machine loaded in a cloud in amazon? [23:15] acicula, I have that problem with the temp also if I open any site like in twitter when I look at the pics, it goes for 1-2 seconds and then it comes back to 54* so that is normal [23:16] clausen: though you can disable that in the sudoers file fairly easily so you can use sudo from your user without typing a password [23:16] also, multi user system, no root password is safer because if someone leaves you can remove them from sudo, instead of changing root password for any computers that used it. [23:16] acicula, can you insist on local sudo only? [23:16] (on the terminal) [23:16] (i.e. on the physical keybaord, etc.) [23:17] clausen: what i use is : my server has no passwords set, i can ssh in using keybased authentication as my user and use sudo [23:17] yeik, remote access isn't such a common use case. in any case, ssh public key is a better solution than passwords [23:17] clausen, common use for who? [23:17] yeik, for random people on #ubuntu you might recommend sudo to [23:18] acicula, me too [23:18] clausen, I remote into my server all the time. infact i have a constant connection up. rarely am i physically at it. [23:18] clausen, you asked why sudo is better than su [23:18] I am still unable to run java [23:18] oh nvm [23:18] yeik, actually, I think both su and sudo are a disaster... it would make more sense to authenticate with keys somehow [23:19] and then you asked why not disable root except for physically. [23:19] (for remote access, I mean) [23:19] clausen: those two are not related? [23:19] is it possible to disable root, except for physically? [23:19] clausen, once you have an ssh connection, which you can set up to only allow keys, then its no different than being at the computer. === Guest86521 is now known as andygray [23:20] i think the reason for using sudo over su is just to prevent people from running a shell as root all the time, thereby circumventing any protections the system might have [23:21] acicula, that is what i was stating earlier, it has a time out. and also people can be removed from it (users/admins) without requiring a root password change [23:21] Hello. I accidentally almsot formatted my ubuntu, I finally have it running again but I cannot get videos to work [23:21] /join #hamradio [23:21] sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer, I even tried reinstalling flash [23:21] clausen, ubuntu is an operating system, it is going to be set up to be used the most securly and conviently for standard uses and users. [23:21] please can someone help me to get videos to work [23:22] lionofgod, what kind of videos? [23:22] I can view youtube videos, i think its cuz im on html5 trial [23:22] but videos on sites like animeseason [23:22] ui23 [23:22] yeik, acicula, so you don't know any way to discriminate against non-local logins? [23:22] http://www.animeseason.com/naruto-shippuuden-episode-48/ === think is now known as di23 [23:22] (isn't there something like /etc/securetty?) [23:22] those dont work [23:22] I think those are flash [23:23] how do u uninstall something uve installed by source (its not in synpatic or the software center) [23:23] clausen, im not an expert, but i don't think it works like that. I can create a shell session locally, walk away and reattach. the user was logged in locally. how can i tell if it is remote or not? [23:23] clausen: yes you can disable gaining root priviledges from a remote terminal, but why would you want that [23:23] lionofgod, can you go to adobe flash about page and see if it tells you what version you have installed? [23:24] lionofgod: They are flash, which browser? [23:24] lionofgod: And if it's firefox, did you close all windows and re-open firefox since flash was installed? [23:24] yeik, you're thinking of screen or tmux? [23:25] yeik, if you're running screen/tmux as root, you'd need to be root to reattach? [23:25] clausen, i can run screen as myself, and su inside screen. or sudo. you are trying to complicate things too much. [23:25] clausen: You will need the user which launched the screen session to re-attach to it. [23:25] acicula, it might make priviledge elevation attacks harder [23:26] acicula, I'm more worried about people aliasing sudo=keylogger [23:26] Im getting this message [23:26] clausen, are you really worried about elevation attacks? [23:26] http://pastebin.com/uz6tPNHd [23:26] and this is chromium [23:26] im looking at the technote thing [23:26] yeik, I would be forbidding running screen "as myself", and then su'ing from that [23:27] yeik, yes, I really am :) [23:27] clausen, then ubuntu isn't for you. you should build your own linux. [23:27] clausen: yeik You can use sudo, you don't need to actually be root to attach to a screen session owned by root [23:27] yeik, that's a bit fast! [23:27] yeik, ubuntu is very configurable [23:27] meganerd, i was trying to explain to clausen that you can't block root/sudo access remotely [23:27] yeik, apt-get remove sudo; echo /dev/tty0 >> /etc/securetty ? [23:28] Is anyone in #kubuntu who can help me with my sound? [23:28] yeik: sure you can [23:28] yeik: disable sudo and prevent ssh from accepting root [23:28] meganerd, please explain, then how if i have a shell session, it recognizes if i attach remotely or if i am physically at the keyboard. [23:28] well the last time my sound was working was when I plugged my headphones into a different audio socket [23:28] unplugging them from that socket [23:29] messed up my sound [23:29] yeik: you could go one further and have PAM prevent root as well. [23:29] I tried the troubleshooting guide [23:29] didn't work [23:29] I would like to use an Japanese input method that is at least as good as Microsoft IME [23:29] I also checked alsamixer [23:29] lionofgod: Which version of ubuntu is this? [23:29] yeik: Oh I see the difference [23:29] everything is on full. [23:29] 11.10 [23:29] yeik: disabling remote access is what I was thinking [23:29] I jsut enabled flash plugin on about:plugins [23:29] I'm using Kubuntu 11.10 [23:29] I am going to restart chrome [23:29] yeik, if you have root, you can always make a poorman's telnetd [23:29] meganerd, you could remove root altogether, there are lots of things you can do. rename sudo to your own command. [23:30] yeik, (which is sort of what tmux/screen do) [23:30] yeik: though you could look at the output of who and disconnect based on that [23:30] yeik, but if you don't use tmux/screen, then you don't open any such hole [23:30] meganerd, yeah. [23:30] clausen: but screen is just so awesome [23:30] gotta run, cheers [23:30] tmux is better! [23:30] anyway, gotta go too [23:30] clausen, im saying you are trying to lock things down too much, if you really want to limit access in such a way, then you already know far more than most people that are going to be here, and about as much as anybody that can help you here. [23:30] bye! [23:31] clausen? [23:31] screen doesn't open any holes. lol [23:31] * yeik boggles his mind [23:31] * HelenB boggles yeik [23:31] is it always this insane in here? [23:31] I really did join that late [23:31] meganerd, yeah [23:31] sorry about feeding the troll [23:31] he first asked the difference and why sudo is better than su [23:31] no usually the #paranoia is restricted to ##security [23:32] tmux [23:32] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to troll [23:32] so i explained that it timed out. [23:32] tmux > screen [23:32] Okay, I have enabled shockwave flash in plugins for chrome but flash player still does not work [23:32] I do appreciate you explaining things to me [23:32] anyway [23:32] bye! [23:32] bye [23:32] I WANT SOUND! [23:32] meganerd, its ok. [23:33] can someone please tell me? [23:33] How come in my own users directory, I am having permission issues uploading files via ftp. I am using Vsftpd. [23:33] I enabled flash yet it is still not working [23:33] lionofgod, did you go to adobes about page? [23:33] Yes [23:34] Its like it can only upload one folder deep then after that its jacked. [23:34] it tells me that my flash is disabled adn tells me to visit about:plugins [23:34] zenmaster: could be just because the vsftp daemon is running as a different system user [23:34] lionofgod, and does it still tell you that? [23:34] I went there and enabled flash [23:34] yes it still tells me that [23:34] Question - I have Ubuntu running with DHCP with 2 NICs... but one NIC does not hand out addresses while the other does... any ideas? [23:34] lionofgod, did you close all chrome windows? [23:34] Yes [23:34] acicula: How do I change that? [23:34] should I restart> [23:34] ? [23:34] roasted, DHCP server? [23:34] lionofgod, its always a good idea [23:34] okay [23:34] yeik, yes. [23:35] yeik, Ubuntu desktop edition, with dhcp installed. [23:35] I see root and nobody. [23:35] zenmaster: idunno, not familiar with vsftp, but it sounds like you are having permission issues. Did you check if there is a wikipage on the ubuntu community wiki on how to get started setting it up? [23:35] I have the option to enable other plugins such as vlc should i enable them as well? [23:35] roasted, well, everybody has dhcp, but dhcp server... [23:35] hey [23:35] acicula: Someof those resources. [23:35] yeik, yes dhcp server [23:35] roasted, iirc you might have to configure the DHCP server with the mac address to broadcast on. [23:36] yeik, do you know where, by chance? [23:36] yeik, best I know of is /etc/default/dhcp3-server where I have to put in eth0 and eth1 for dhcp service. [23:36] roasted, i use my ddwrt router for dhcp. i haven't tried setting it up in ubuntu [23:36] so.,... hibernate in 10.04 [23:37] !dhcp | roasted [23:37] roasted: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP [23:37] the option isn't even in the menu [23:37] wylde, :( [23:37] roasted, http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch08_:_Configuring_the_DHCP_Server [23:37] roasted: if you're looking for a lightweight and easy configurable DHCP/DNS server try dnsmasq [23:37] violinappren, I'm not. I'm just trying to find out why one NIC works and the other does not. [23:38] !pm-hibernate | Areckx [23:38] roasted: heh, I do run a minimal dhcp server but that's only because I also have an ltsp server on my network. [23:38] wylde, that's what I'm working on... an LTSP server. [23:38] !hibernate | Areckx [23:38] wylde, two NICs, one NIC per lab (two labs) [23:38] wylde, one gets DHCP, other does not. Even if I plug my laptopdirectly into the NIC, no DHCP... [23:38] wylde, definitely not a switch problem... [23:39] roasted: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dhcp.html [23:39] roasted: I'm running with a single nic, the server is nothing more than a backup server for my home network, an ltsp server for my garage equipment and failover for the rest of my pc's. [23:40] wylde, can you post your config? [23:40] violinappren, unavailble. [23:40] wylde, im guessing you didn't put both ip addresses for both nics in your configuration [23:40] roasted: I suspect you will have to some specific configuration using 2 nic's. [23:40] nevermind [23:40] ot it [23:40] err, i meant roasted. [23:41] no worries. [23:41] yeik, I have 2 NICs, 10.52.18.2 and 10.52.17.2... then in the dhcp config, I have 2 scopes, one for 17.5-17.254 and 18.5-18.254 [23:41] yeik, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. [23:42] yeik, the config is identical, except 17 vs 18 [23:42] roasted: altho... moment I did find some lnks with 2 nic setup while seeting my ltsp server up. [23:42] roasted: this page has a multiple interface example https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server [23:42] roasted, use pastebin to post your config. [23:42] roasted: ^^ beat me to it! danged beer! [23:44] if he is configuring the same subnet, it might take one of the configs over the other, i think he needs both ip addresses in the domain-name-servers option [23:45] yeik, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/933293/ [23:47] hm [23:47] I see a problem [23:47] I think [23:47] roasted you have "next-server" uncommented [23:48] roasted: in lab 605 [23:48] wylde, right [23:48] I just commented it [23:48] and the line below [23:48] no difference [23:48] is there any channel for PRINCE XML or something like that ? [23:49] roasted: ahh ok, was hoping for a quick fix hehe. [23:49] same here wylde :( [23:51] wylde, actually that may have worked [23:51] I gotta jet. I had to restart the network interfaces (before I just did dhcp but that alone didnt fix it) [23:51] wylde, thanks! [23:51] roasted: hmmm .. moment. Are you using something other than dhcp3... errr nvm I'm going to look at my configs, /etc/dhcp3.conf is over ridden by /etc/ltp/somethingorother..... iirc. [23:51] brb goota check my pizza! [23:52] roasted: oh?! [23:53] roasted, if that doesn't work check, where it has host blah3{} https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server [23:56] damn unity locks up a whole lot [23:57] I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit server edition and when I run sudo apt-get update I get a bunch of "Failed to fetch bzip2...hash sum mismatch" errors [23:57] how do I launch bash and get ssh and also issue a command (I forgot) [23:57] JonMarkGo: try a different mirror [23:59] i love screen [23:59] * yeik loves screen too === alexim_ is now known as alexim
