[00:32] linux-headers-generics what package is that, what is it for? [00:32] sorry, i only know, that my stick works. The best is to search for a good stick, and then try to find a e.g. tutorial for the ubuntu installation. [00:32] My Stick is a PCTV-Stick (Pinnacle) [00:34] Tetracomm: Its quite old, a Pinnacle (today: PCTV) 72e, but quite good. [00:35] aaas curl is a bit low level if you want to parse the content of a web page. id suggest to look further for some wrapper for parsing html content [00:36] which would probably base on curl [00:38] arthurblack well i was looking for it so i can run it from my php script to fetch a mint.com csv file, but it looks like someone already coded it for me [00:39] blubs2345: I don't think I can find that. I am looking for one to buy new. [00:42] well. its still available, but i also wouldn't buy that anymore.. [00:43] hi. is it correct that real player is no longer available on ubuntu 10.10?

[00:49] svn down? [00:50] getting connection refused === bobweaver is now known as sticky_fingers [00:50] blubs2345: Thank you. :) [00:50] oops [00:50] is there anyway to remove unity from 12.06 [00:51] !unity [00:51] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity === Guest16065 is now known as Swinden_ [00:52] !notunity [00:52] Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [00:52] eightiesk, Unity is the default one since 11.04. Although you could do some weird stuff in 11.04 to remove it and leave gnome, since 11.10 that is practically impossible. You could use Gnome Shell or Gnome Fallback in 12.04. [00:53] whats gnome fallback like? [00:54] eightiesk, just lighter and looks like gnome classic [00:54] whats the diffrence? [00:54] eightiesk, have you used gnome 2.x? [00:55] ya [00:55] eightiesk, looks like that [00:55] i started using ubuntu @ hardy [00:55] i left when 11 came out [00:55] eightiesk, gnome fallback is for people with low graphics, low resource PC, and low everything. Is on the borderline between jumping to Xubuntu/Lubuntu and staying in Ubuntu [00:56] ugh [00:56] eightiesk, got it. Well gnome fallback will bring you back to hardy [00:56] I liked 10.10 [00:56] tons [00:56] http://fixitwizkid.com/attachments/oneiric_edubuntu-fallback-1-full-png.2114/ [00:56] eightiesk, that is an image for it [00:56] hey === redka is now known as itemized [00:57] is there anyone familiar with polipo/tor that could give me a hand? [00:57] itemized what is the problem [00:58] icallitvera, pm?

For 11.10, see !notunity [01:02] well that was easy [01:02] is the android emulator from the "ubuntu for android" video available somewhere? [01:02] ty [01:03] or is that hard tied to the actual android phone ubuntu for android runs on? [01:04] no package manager in 12? [01:04] err [01:04] eightiesk: what do you mean? [01:04] what is the GUI package manager in 12 [01:05] the Software-Center [01:05] ugh [01:05] eightiesk: You can download Synaptic. [01:05] however you can install synaptic if you need [01:05] Logan_: :3 [01:05] i know i can [01:05] i'm just saying [01:05] <_Tristan> Hello. Ubuntu fails to boot at "loading ramdisk". I have a recovery console going. What now? [01:05] <_Tristan> there [01:05] this is why people are switching to mint ; ; [01:06] !ot | eightiesk [01:06] eightiesk: #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! [01:06] _Tristan: what did you do before it stoped booting? [01:06] _Tristan: and dont say "nothing" :D [01:06] Logan_: it was relevant to my question, as well to the situation. [01:06] <_Tristan> lun4tic: Ok, since you asked, I plugged in an ethernet cable [01:07] <_Tristan> I also unplugged that ethernet cable [01:07] eightiesk: Speculation should be in -offtopic, not here. [01:07] _Tristan: if it doesnt work when you unplug it either it is not the source of the problem [01:07] what else did you do? [01:08] <_Tristan> the most dangerous thing I did was fix /etc/networks/interfaces, but all I did was set it back to the way it usually is (the factory default) [01:08] did you install something? [01:08] upgrade [01:08] <_Tristan> nope [01:09] did you do something with grub? [01:09] or install windows? [01:09] <_Tristan> neither [01:09] macosx? :D [01:10] can you change root and install grub again? [01:10] or update it at least [01:10] <_Tristan> not sure how to do that [01:11] http://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows try this [01:11] <_Tristan> is it grub-install /dev/sda? [01:11] maybe it helps [01:11] i dont know your harddrive configuration. is there any raid involved? [01:12] <_Tristan> nope, just a standard full-disk ubuntu install [01:12] k [01:12] <_Tristan> are options 1-5 necessary? I'm in a terminal, not a live cd [01:12] but just try reinstalling grub2 as described [01:12] if you have a bootet system it should work [01:12] how did you start the recovery? [01:13] selected from the bootmenu? [01:13] cause then its probably some kernel problem [01:13] will just a standard usb webcam (from ebay) work with ubuntu? [01:13] cheap one [01:13] that during the upgrade some initrd generation didnt work right [01:14] <_Tristan> I did try to install some driver manually once upon a time... said it would do something with every kernel update [01:14] hello when i loginto ubuntu i get some security package warnings [01:14] how can i apt-get them [01:14] apt-get upgrade wont do the trick [01:14] _Tristan: which specific driver? [01:15] I need to know if the Hauppauge 1191 will work on Ubuntu. Does anyone know or have a way I can find out? I have been searching google, and I saw something about Mythbuntu so far. [01:15] <_Tristan> hmm... some wireless driver, I won't know until I can get this thing on. I wasn't in grub's recovery mode option, though, I was using a live CDF [01:15] <_Tristan> tada, le boot. update-grub did it. [01:16] i sort of gather that cheap web camera will work [01:16] usb [01:16] Tetracomm: If it works on Mythbuntu, then it likely works on Ubuntu. [01:16] <_Tristan> lun4tic: thanks [01:17] Tetracomm: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ZYRJBUBGR862/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B001DEYVXO&nodeID=&tag=&linkCode= [01:19] hello. how can I determine the size of an online file (www.somewebsite.com/foo.swf) without downloading it? Is there a terminal/command I can run? [01:19] Tetracomm: Actually, looking now, it appears that you'll need Mythbuntu to play video from the tuner. But I could be wrong. [01:20] scroogecheese: Unless you have a directory listing with file sizes... [01:20] how do i turn user account encryption? [01:21] Logan_: hmm...I need to be sure that I can at least use it properly... [01:21] CrustyBarnacle: go on, finish your sentence. [01:21] im having a problem getting on spotchat. i was able to get on earlier today but all of a sudden i cant....but i can still get on any other server....can anyone help me please? [01:21] scroogecheese: curl -I http://www.somewebsite.com/foo.swf [01:22] Tetracomm: That Amazon review seems to suggest that you can. [01:22] scroogecheese: Either the server list the size or you download it. [01:22] hmm [01:22] trism: that command will just tell me file size and won't downloadt he file, right? [01:23] scroogecheese: it will retrieve the headers, look at Content-Length [01:23] any one? user account encryption? how do i check it/turn it on? I forget if i set it up when i installed [01:24] hmmm [01:25] is there a help room i should go to? [01:25] jabbit..., for ? [01:25] im having a problem getting on spotchat. i was able to get on earlier today but all of a sudden i cant....but i can still get on any other server....can anyone help me please?

[01:28] jabbit..., looks like you chose a registered nick? guessing [01:28] trism: I'll have to remember that curl can do that! [01:28] How do I remove a partially installed/broken package from apt? I have a file that has unmet dependencies and it is preventing me from using apt-get. [01:28] apt-get -f install [01:28] trism: thanks. but curl -I http://www.armorgames.com/files/games/johnny-upgrade-13189.swf doesn't give Content-length [01:29] icallitvera: ok, thanks. That will remove the package that cannot properly install? [01:29] it will either do that or try to fix the dependicies [01:29] thanx crusty [01:30] scroogecheese: Is that the real URL.. I got a "301" error... file moved permanently [01:30] ReXHaviK: im not even able to log on....with this pc running mint or with a windows machine [01:30] yes, i got the URL from the page source of the html page containing the embedded swf file [01:31] CrustyBarnacle: see above. Also, I thought I understoodt he URL correctly from http://armorgames.com/play/13189/johnny-upgrade [01:31] scroogecheese: curl -I http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/johnny-upgrade-13189.swf; [01:31] im not even able to log on...nickserv wouldnt block me until i was logged in and gave me a chance to identify at least [01:31] trism: thanks. how'd you know it's cache.blahblah....? [01:31] jabbit..., its not the OS that is causing the issue [01:31] and even then it would just change my name....not kick me right off the server [01:31] hi. i can't send udp data to broadcast using this command: 'netcat -u 192.168.1.255 5000'... it giveme a permission denied. also as a root i get that answer [01:31] any hint for it? [01:32] scroogecheese: the headers said so, as CrustyBarnacle mentioned, see the Location line [01:32] trism: CrustyBarnacle it says Content-Length: 3960783 . is that in bytes or bits? [01:32] scroogecheese: you might be able to get curl to do that automatically, but I don't know how off the top of my head [01:32] im just saying i tried different machines with different names and different info [01:33] is there an installer to bt5 r2, instead of burning dvd with iso? [01:33] scroogecheese: bytes [01:33] dodo__, maybe netcat is trying to access some resource on the hard drive as a different user [01:34] i dont know why would that be happening though [01:34] try to get netcat more verbose [01:34] jabirali, try this server irc.spotchat.org port 6667 [01:34] jabbit, try this server irc.spotchat.org port 6667 [01:35] scroogecheese: I would guess bytes [01:36] netcat with verbosity does not give me any clue at all... http://pastebin.com/Wredwbmm [01:37] dodo__: isn't that your broadcast address?

[02:04] crackerjackz: it's probably an old swap partition that you did "something" to lol [02:04] wylde: sounds about right [02:04] wylde: oh well what ever it was its gone now.. i deleted it [02:04] i'm installing gentoo on here as well [02:04] crackerjackz: Good luck... :-) [02:10] why wont by 10.04 resolution go any higher than 800x600 on my vm?

[02:14] is there anything i can do to keep it at that resolution? [02:14] did you install the vbox extentions [02:15] :S i don't believe so [02:15] I dont have virtualbox in front of me... but under the menu some where there is the option to install the VirtualBox guest additions [02:16] that will also enable some opengl compiz stuff.

[02:21] try installing the guest additions and see if it will give you any additional video modes [02:21] anyone running vmware ubuntu as host [02:22] linuxuz3r: like vmware workstation for linux? [02:22] so install guest additions on the VM? [02:22] yes [02:22] itemized:yes [02:22] tking0036, ? [02:22] linuxuz3r: is it good yet... the last time i tried it... it was really buggy [02:22] sorry to ask more of a general linux question, is there any device file I could cat at bash to see things like motherboard vendor, northbridge, southbridge, etc etc [02:22] i dont understand this: i tried running a dvd that has a video folder. i could see the videos which are mp4s but couldnt play them back in any player [02:23] so today i came home and installed vlc media player to watch the videos. now when i open the dvd i cant see the mp4s in the video folder [02:25] When the 11.04 repos are turned off, is it still possible to perform an in-place upgrade?

[02:33] Yeah, having it all in one place is nice. [02:33] Openbox, it's a window manager [02:33] Fairly generic [02:33] I still haven't quite warmed up to Unity, admittedly [02:33] ahh, thank you, nice Unity replacement though for 11.10and up? [02:34] though = then [02:34] Not unless you like text configuration [02:34] well he could use lxde which uses openbox [02:34] That too [02:34] !notunity | Zontar [02:34] Zontar: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:35] I just use vanilla openbox with tint2, lightweight but not recommended for linux newbies at all [02:35] when installing ubuntu from usb, when I reach the partition page I cant get past page and get boot error, what could be going on? thanks [02:35] bothering with text files aint an issue for me, not to brag because thats not what the community is about, but ive been a linux user for 12 years [02:35] You've never heard of Openbox then? [02:35] nice. odd that you never heard of openbox. [02:36] Im not well versed with window managers [02:36] Well, you'd probably do just fine with it then [02:36] ive been living in a KDE and GNOME world [02:37] Unity came around and made it less friendly, so I appreciate the replacements in linux mint at least [02:37] lets get back on topic of support please [02:37] Nvidia drivers and a spanning desktop across 2 monitors trips up at least the environment im using [02:37] sorry [02:37] I've used varying window managers/DEs from twm, to fluxbox, to GNOME 2, then 3 (ugh), and now openbox [02:37] alrighty [02:38] unity is pretty damn good in 12.04 but that's a discussion in here for after the end of the month.

I hit the volume button on my keyboard once and it increased it to the max and almost woke my neighbours and gave me a heart attack. [02:39] I can reask my orginal question -- sorry to ask more of a general linux question, is there any device file I could cat at bash to see things like motherboard vendor, northbridge, southbridge, etc etc [02:39] I think i'm going to stay on an LTS release after 12.04 comes out [02:39] maybe turn the volume control down on your speakerbox? [02:40] same here, Zontar [02:40] thats the way to set a max [02:40] esoul, sudo lshw perhaps [02:40] esoul: [02:40] i don't feel like switching every six months.

[03:20] icallitvera :: So what are the problems that may show up if I use gparted? [03:20] you'd have to resize the main partition make a new one copy all the files and then edit whatever the file is called that controls the mounting [03:20] all i had to do was use Host+Home to bring it to full screen, and it automatically changed the resolution :S [03:20] I remember I set up partitions, and made /tmp noexec [03:21] that was fun when an update didn't proply remount it [03:21] itemized, ahh haha [03:21] so how would I move my /home directory to the new partition? [03:21] itemized, forgot that resizing the window will change the resolution :P [03:21] just copy it, after the partition is made in gparted it would show up like any other one [03:21] pepee, i know, right? so simple! thanks again for the help! i don't know how in the hell you keep helping ALL these people [03:22] and to set it up so that on boot it would load you'd havee to edit /etc/fstab [03:22] icallitvera :: I see [03:22] itemized, I have lots of time... :P [03:22] icallitvera :: what do you mean about the edit file?

[03:26] I was trying to fix it in gparted, but I think it messed things up a little so I did a clean install [03:26] how big do you guys have the swap partition [03:27] my swap is twice the size of the installed ram [03:27] before I do anything I will be sure to make sure all of my hard drive is off of a boot partition [03:27] no swap here [03:27] my swap 99% of the time is unused [03:27] is there like a recommended size? [03:27] icallitvera, How much memory do you have [03:27] 1.7GB [03:27] it is supposed to be twice the ram [03:28] icallitvera, Double it at 4gb. [03:28] yeik :: I would like to use hibernate, since I have no battery on my laptop and sometimes the switch is turned off while I'm away from the computer. I suppose I could just set up a bunch of programs to start up on boot... I would have to have them open up in 3 workspaces [03:28] nice i just did like 1% of my harddrive and thats just about 4gb [03:28] icallitvera, Generally over 4GB of system ram - you probably wont need much swap (of course depending on the applications you run) [03:29] So how much is the minimum for the OS? [03:29] I have 160gb total [03:29] Areckx, i don't think it uses swap for that, but not sure. [03:29] When I reduce the size and create a new partition for my home folder, how much should I leave for the OS? [03:29] he means the / partitions and the only other would be /home [03:30] Areckx, are you just seperating /home or going to seperate others as well? 20 gb should be good. but if you have it do 30-40gb [03:30] Areckx, 4gb is gnerally enough for the OS. But I'd reserve at least 8-10 [03:30] Just in case you get froggy with software to d/l [03:30] yeik :: I just want to use this OS, so I only need enough to store the OS and room for updates/additional packages [03:30] kelli, I don't think 4 gb is enough, i filled up 20 gb on one of my systems. [03:31] yeik, 20GB in where? /usr? [03:31] Areckx, i mean, install developer tools, games, or just browser [03:31] or do you recommend I set an additional partition for apt-get???? [03:31] kelli, i don't remember exactly where. it was a while back and i fixed it. [03:32] yeik, Typically, your /home and /usr partitions will be the largest. That is of course if you dont have anything under /opt [03:32] twice of the installed drive is good only for 2gb or less ram, 2gb or more i recommend to use half of the installed ram [03:32] oh ok [03:32] Areckx, Why not use LVM? [03:32] kelli, yeah, because /usr holds the binary files, and /home all your other files. [03:32] fabian_ovrwrt, what about suspend to disk? [03:32] so I should set a seperate partition for /home and /usr while leaving about 10GB or so for the OS? [03:32] Areckx, Then carve out partitions and then you can readjust them as needed. [03:33] kelli :: LVM? [03:33] Areckx, Do you really need separate partitions is the real kicker.. [03:33] kelli :: I really just want my downloaded files to be protected in case I have to do a clean install of the OS [03:33] Areckx, Your downloaded files - being files you download through apt-get? [03:33] i only have a different /home partition for keeping _most_ my settings and stuff between isntalls [03:33] /dev/sda5 29528148 6644736 21383460 24% / [03:34] linux_is_my_hero :: I've been asking your question, btw [03:34] how do i get around forgetting my admin password? [03:34] Areckx: i have the same question :) [03:34] linux_is_my_hero :: I thought the solution would be preventative [03:34] linux_is_my_hero, i use password safe to store all my passwords [03:34] how to read ms xml documents in libre writer? [03:34] Areckx: next time I'll just take the power cord so she doesn't log in to my computer [03:35] its a desktop :-) [03:35] icallitvera :: So I would definitely want to set an additional partition for /home ? [03:35] linux_is_my_hero, in the kernel line in grub, add 'init=/bin/bash' and delete splash [03:35] Areckx: i stepped out for a minute, anything i should try? [03:35] is it safe to resize the main ubuntu partition? add another partition in the middle, and leave the swap in the end of HD? [03:35] it depends, i usually end up changing the system every few months and it works well for me [03:35] is there a channel for 12 yet? [03:35] pepeeL uts been awhile since I've done that...is it f8 during bootup to get to the grub editor menu? [03:35] linux_is_my_hero :: I'm just thinking about how I can secure my files and settings IN THE CASE that I have to do a clean install [03:36] Areckx: ubuntu one [03:36] linux_is_my_hero :: I mean, without the need for an internet connection [03:36] Areckx: if your internet supports it. some arent fast enough for the initial upload, you'll pull your hair out [03:36] linux_is_my_hero, reboot. when you get in grub, press E in the line you want to edit [03:36] Areckx: you can backup your files once a week to an external hard drive [03:36] Areckx flash drives or home server [03:37] linux_is_my_hero, http://linuxers.org/howto/recover-lost-root-password [03:37] pepee: okay thanks.:-) trying now :-) [03:37] ~ [03:38] Does this mean anything to anyone? (pyscrabble:9979): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", ...it could be related to why PyScrabble keeps exiting on me if I try to connect to a public server. Any ideas? [03:38] pepee: what do i press on reboot to get to the grub editor...f8? [03:38] linux_is_my_hero: i backed up my files on an external HD before installing ubuntu, did full format. is it safe for me to resize ubuntu partition and make a new one to restore my files? [03:39] linux_is_my_hero: hold shift [03:39] hi [03:39] cwi i would think that you should do so from a liveCD [03:39] icallitvera: ok will do that, thanks [03:39] cwi: ubuntu can see all other file formats...so after you edit the partition, or even before, you can copy everything back over from the external. :-) [03:39] linux_is_my_hero, what cwi said, I think [03:40] linux_is_my_hero :: Ubuntu One sounds good though [03:40] *not file formats, but file structures...like ntfs, etc [03:40] dalek_, file a bug report [03:43] hi, I need to compare files between two folders [03:43] how can I do that? [03:43] lduros, diff [03:43] should i be able to just open word xml files in ubuntu libre writer? [03:43] wait the files in the folders or the files themselves? [03:43] linux_is_my_hero & pepee: to be specific, i want to make 3 partitions for restoring my files, plus 1 new partition for kubuntu (hibernate/suspend failed in ubuntu, they said it works in kubuntu, so i want to give a try) [03:43] or do i need plugins? [03:44] yeik: but all the files between two directories recursively? [03:44] jerrry it depends what version of word they were saved in i think [03:44] lduros, diff -r or -R can't remember which [03:44] the files have the same names [03:44] I should just hold back on using gparted until I know more [03:44] jerrry for the record, Libre Writer is NOT an ubuntu product ... [03:44] [03:44] [03:44] alternatively you can use rsync with the list-only command === dmogle is now known as Guest41110 [03:44] I really would like to have all of my settings and files safe in the event I would have to do a clean install [03:44] is that what you get when you open it jerrry [03:45] cwi, you can use cfdisk. and yes, it's safe to restore files [03:45] well i opened it in gedit because it wouldnt automagically open in libre, it just appears blank [03:45] k pepee thanks [03:45] CFHowlett: well, linux is not an ubuntu product either... [03:46] lduros, that should work. [03:46] Why doesn't $200-$300 mysteriously appear in my wallet when I wake up in the morning? It seems impossible, I know, but incredibly, this has never happened to me... [03:46] yeik: yeh, seems to work [03:46] thanks [03:46] Boohbah ok ... [03:46] Welcome [03:46] jerrry try uploading to google docs and then download as a differnet format [03:46] ahh [03:46] ahh, google docs...i love google docs :-) [03:46] screw the icloud...google rules [03:46] I've copy/pasted my system over various machines for years hehe [03:47] do i need a login for google? [03:47] if google docs is able to open it you can download as odt pdf rtf word etc. [03:47] CFHowlett: http://www.google.com/search?q=canonical+kernel+contributions [03:47] you might not i'm not sure [03:47] linux_is_my_hero ready for google drive? [03:47] icallitvera: what is that? B-) [03:48] 8-)* [03:48] its like dropbox/ubuntuone/icloud but made by google, supposed to be coming out next week (from omgubuntu) [03:48] OOH! [03:48] holy s**t [03:49] when do we get more space for google music? thats the question [03:49] i don't like the cloud... the whole term is bad. and insecure [03:49] I use chrome, I love not having to worry about bookmarks etc [03:49] or is google drive take the place of that? [03:49] linux_is_my_hero, you get 200,000 songs right? not enough space? [03:49] yeah chrome sign in is amazing its like one browser on multiple computers [03:49] i'm not sure the article was quite vague [03:49] yeik: it 20,000 and no its not enough [03:50] yeik: fantastic interface though [03:50] linux_is_my_hero :: that makes you my hero LMAO [03:50] linux_is_my_hero, you legally have more than 20,000 songs? wow [03:50] #ubuntu-offtopic? [03:50] I have 4 large binders full of cd's...from the past 20 years (I'm 27) [03:50] !chmod [03:50] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [03:51] !chmod directory [03:51] how do i change the chmod to 777 on a directory so i can install some software? [03:52] chmod 777 /ur/dir/path/here [03:52] in ubuntu? [03:52] you might need to use sudo [03:52] yes [03:52] ok ty i'll give it a go [03:54] will this do it recursivly? [03:54] that changes it for the folder, you need -r for recursive [03:55] make sure you want to change everything there though [03:55] where do i place the -r? [03:55] yes i will change it back once i run the install script [03:55] and its local network [03:55] so my issue with WOL - it was solved by compiling/installing the factory module instead of the stock kernel module. I was wondering why the source from the factory wasnt included in the kernel instead of whatever is in there now? [03:56] DrManhattan, cool! [03:56] chmod -r 777 /path/to/dir is this correct? [03:56] are all the kernel modules the linux kernel written by scratch by the open source community? [03:56] williamdoors, looks correct, but if its network, not sure it will work. also changing it back? [03:57] yes i will change it back once i run the install script [03:57] and its local [03:57] awesome! i changed the root password. what about my login password? the one i forgot is my admin password, is that the same as the root password? and what about my "default keyring"? [03:57] why not do sudo passwd username [03:57] would that work? or just change the root password [03:58] yeah you could do that [03:58] icallitvera thats a fantastic idea ill try that [04:01] how do i get a list of users on my computer? im trying to use sudo passwd username [04:01] isn't it sudo cat /etc/shadow [04:01] IaOra!!!! Bak, finally got the notebook up and running and the old celery inltel tower has been designated as the official bench for one of the grandkids [04:01] adn the "username" would just be the name you use to login [04:02] linux_is_my_hero: should be in /etc/passwd, afaik [04:02] hi [04:02] icallitvera: outstanding [04:03] Nach0z: thank you :-) [04:03] THIS IS WHY I LOVE LINUX. [04:03] i reinstalled winxp, after i had win7, so grub2 is gone. i downloaded supergrub live cd and i am curently in my ubuntu system, did full update [04:03] yeik ty it worked :) [04:03] but how to reinstall grub from normal ubuntu system [04:03] wait Nach0z whats the difference between the files? they both seem to be a listing of users [04:03] all i google is from livecd [04:03] is it possible to run native windows 7 x64 as guest in virtualbox? [04:03] !grub2|randomnik [04:03] randomnik: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [04:04] Hey is there anywhere I can recommend integrating the realtek driver code for the 8111c [04:04] i dont wantto go into livecd as i am already in my real ubuntu [04:04] icallitvera: now the ubuntu login gui won't let me in. it goes black then goes back to the login gui...what does THAT mean? [04:04] the stock driver doesn't work with WOL and I don't know where to file a report on it. I have this same problem with other distros too [04:04] icallitvera: don't think there is any real difference as far as what you're looking for [04:05] I can't believe I actually found a solution. I havent used linux on this box for that specific reason [04:05] linux_is_my_hero change to one of the ttys and try to login there [04:05] linuxuz3r: yes. [04:05] linux_is_my_hero Ctrl-Alt-F1 [04:05] icallitvera: how? [04:05] Nach0z, will it break the install [04:05] Hello [04:05] Nach0z, will it break the install [04:05] grumble... CD/DVD creator in 10.04LTS ... first it ttok a while to drag the files over, then 1.5 -hours- to "examine file size" (2.2G), and NOW it's copying files locally? what the heck? [04:06] linuxuz3r: if you're using windows as a guest in a virtualbox, no...? break what install exactly? as long as you have a vhd for it, it's just like installing on a normal computer [04:07] hello kind ubuntu people. I tried to click a java webstart launch button on a website, and it took me to the oracle page asking me to download java. but it seems that oracle java is no longer supported by ubuntu. so what should i download to open webstart apps? some open jdk version? === Gallomimia_ is now known as Gallomimia [04:07] icallitvera: it said "keyctl_search: required key not avaibile" then let me log in and now i cant get to any of directories or files through the tty [04:08] anyone able to explain if I'm seeing the expected or unexpected? [04:08] question - what is a good LAN chat app for Ubuntu that will work between Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 machines? Empathy doesn't work between versions. What other option is there? [04:08] lewis1711: openjdk-6-jdk and openjdk-6-jre are what you're lookin for, probably [04:08] Nautilus: Depending how fast your computer can process the information, then yes, expected. [04:08] linux_is_my_hero the partition is not encrypted is it? [04:09] it is [04:09] icallitvera: why cant i log in from the gui? [04:09] reading on google atm [04:09] hmm they are already there. how very odd. this is the page I am taken to. http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?host=java.com&returnPage=http://squidpony.com/TAG/launch.jnlp&locale=en-US [04:10] linux_is_my_hero, if its encrypted you can't just change the password [04:10] Down_to_Earth: well, that just seems sp long. 2 hours to burn <1/2 a DVD? [04:10] linux_is_my_hero, all the files for the user will need to be removed. unless you have the key/restore [04:10] yeik: so i might as well do a fresh install? [04:10] yeik: screw this im going to bed. [04:11] now i feel bad :( [04:11] no, just delete user folder [04:11] its my admin account which is also my user account [04:11] its not the root is it? [04:11] lewis1711:You know where you get programs on ubuntu?, just search java in that if you know what i am talking about [04:11] linux_is_my_hero, do you have important files? [04:11] so i get the error http://s16.postimage.org/t8710zz91/Screenshot_from_2012_04_19_00_04_13.png [04:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/936400/ [04:11] icallitvera: yes its the root [04:11] anyone know how to fix it? [04:11] yeik: yes i have important files [04:12] FFS - error burning now [04:12] lewis1711: or use "sudo get-apt install openjdk-6-jdk" in terminal [04:12] linux_is_my_hero, you might need more of an expert then, someone who knows about encrypted user info. [04:12] icallitvera: i changed the root password though [04:12] In the history of the universe, has a user ever been found that likes unity? And if not, why does unity exist? [04:12] yeik: i changed the root password a few minutes ago [04:12] yeik: for some reason the gui won't let me log in [04:12] and the tty says "required key not availible" [04:13] linux_is_my_hero, root can't login by default [04:13] !of | dalek_ [04:13] then the folder is encrypted [04:13] you need the encryption key [04:13] dalek_: I like Unity. :) [04:13] !ot | dalek_ [04:13] dalek_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

Example, qchat [04:18] i am using nvida driver [04:18] eightiesk thats not the defualt way to change thinks is it? i'd try the unity way to change it first [04:18] :( [04:18] previously there was blue screen problem I solve it now the flash crash sometimes don't know why [04:18] Down_to_Earth: nope it was just the web start. flash works fine. and now so does webstart. hooray [04:18] yeik okay i'll remeber that :p [04:19] it sucks losing your encrypted data... but generally is gone for good unless you really know what your doing and have lots of time and lots of computing power [04:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/936400/ can someone check data for sda2 and how to fix it. maybe winxp diskscheck?

[04:30] SDr: the hostname is in the /etc/hostname file [04:30] the root@ is just your login.

I replaced the sata drive and then found that I could not boot as the cd/dvd rom was telling me there was no media in the drive... I finally used a usb boot flash memory to get the laptop to finally accept a new version of Ubuntu (10.04.4 LTS 64 bit.. I like it a lot, but the upgrades [04:35] are failing [04:35] redemption this allows you also to check if the hardware that you are using is compatible with linux [04:36] how to use send fax directly from computer? [04:36] linocisco, you have to have a landline, or use an online service [04:36] i wish I knew [04:36] .tr закономерный [04:36] maheanuu: sounds like your laptop is actually failing. Two disks almost never fail at the same time. [04:37] yeik, landline [04:37] linocisco, then there is probably some software that will work for it. [04:38] most fax has two port, one to phone and one to landline. all are RJ11 ports [04:38] linocisco, also, if you want to send "real" faxes on a landline, you'll need a proper hardware fax-modem... and they are harder and harder to come by these days. [04:38] linocisco, http://www.techsupportalert.com/freeware-forum/linux/8625-fax-software-for-linux.html [04:39] dalek_, indeed [04:39] dalek, so Do I make extra step to print soft copy and put printed document in fax and fax it manually? [04:39] cowboydren, have went thru it with a fine tooth comb, and I have pretty well got it all diagnosed and the only problems were the early morning failures that took out the hard disk and I think at the same time took out the cdrom [04:39] I want to skip printing task [04:39] I cannot be sure of that because I was in the middle of a medical emergency and it was a month before I returned home to trouble shoot it [04:39] fax software is the easy part... occasionally fax hardware will come up on ebay. [04:40] linocisco, did you see the link i posted? [04:40] #Join django [04:40] is there anything special about backend.py files inside my app folder? [04:41] grillermo: /join #django ** [04:41] I have pretty much thrown all the diagnostics I have at the laptop Toshiba Satallite A355D [04:42] maheanuu, sometimes dvd drives die, not a big deal. you can use usb to install the os [04:43] maheanuu, the big issue is your hard drive. if it has smart tripped, or many bad sectors, thats what you need to worry about. [04:43] maheanuu, with linux, even if the laptop dies, and the hard drive is good, you can copy it to another drive or stick it in another computer and boot right up with almost no issues. [04:44] I am back up now, but I am getting errors when i try to use upgrade manager or Synaptic Package manager for my installs I get hash errors and download failures all the tinme [04:45] maheanuu, that could be anywhere between hard drive and the network connection. memory, or cpu even. memtest86 is good as well as a full low level test with something like seatools [04:45] yeik, I know, I have been in puters since the 60's I am an ex Sperry Univac Field Engineer and a Retired US Navy Chief Electronics Technician [04:45] maheanuu, ok, then what are you here asking for?

[04:46] linocisco, you should need to print anything if you have a working faxmodem. What kind of faxmodem do you have? [04:46] * yeik is going to bed [04:46] g'night all [04:46] linocisco, ok.. just saw your link [04:47] and what I need is to find out why I cannot upbrade or do any software installs with Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS 64 Bit.... I have been tryingt to get Skype and a lot of the other stuff installed that I had befoer [04:48] I have installed nagios on a test machine for testing purpose, but its web interface is dull like on the left pan it usually have a black background but here in my case it is white or some sort of dull grey. . [04:48] what 'lots of other stuff' ? can you install stuff from the normal repos maheanuu ? [04:49] I am back up now, but I am getting errors when i try to use upgrade manager or Synaptic Package manager for my installs I get hash errors and download failures all the tinme [04:49] like how often maheanuu ? [04:49] linocisco, that almost certainly will not work for faxing. It looks almost identical to 1000's of softmodems that go up on ebay every day. But then again you might have got lucky and it might be a real hardware modem. [04:49] maheanuu, can you paste what you are describing? seems like you have a bad internet connection or bad mirror [04:49] No, I tried to install Skype and also the Flash Reader and some other stuff and even my UpGrade Manager is telling me that the hash files are messed up [04:50] dalek_, so what is the truth? [04:51] maheanuu: try installing somthing simple from the repos like 'unp' or 'pastebinit' see if that works.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit [04:51] scientes, I am located on the island of Raiatea in French Polynesia..... We're not at the end of the world,,,,,, We're over it [04:51] Hi Doc, I will do that rite now [04:51] !info pastebinit [04:51] pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client.

[04:51] ir could be anygthing over a specific ssizze may be getting messed up. [04:52] dr_willis, pastebinit - command-line pastebin client v.cool stuff had no idea [04:52] linocisco, you'll have to try it out yourself and see if it works. Test with something like efax maybe? or gfax? [04:52] maheanuu, well checksums are helping you, cause they find corruption at the start, but yeah, you might need a more reliable transport method if the error rate in unacceptable---cause apt only checks if there is any corruption in the whole thing---it relys on tcp/ip doing the rest [04:52] maheanuu, tcp/ip does have checksums however, which should work, are you using any sort of acceleration? [04:52] there is some apt-torrent thing. but ive never used it. ;) === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [04:54] the packages are compressed, so any sort of "web acceleration" wont work, and can only cause problems [04:57] how does one move the windows buttons from left to right on 12.06 [04:58] having internet problems with freshly installed 10.04, can someone help [04:59] Is this the place to come for some help?

Check in main chat. [07:30] so far [07:31] fivetwentysix: you can create an exact same partition layout on another drive and copy that to your drive but if you dont know the exact size of the partitions, there startlocation and so on i dont think you can do something [07:31] ApocGoD: but even i got this error ,the apps are correctly installed [07:31] fivetwentysix: always a good idea to have a backup [07:32] @cyborg_ Did it install correctly?

[09:04] recentlydeceased: the fstab file is processed before the network connects, so yes you have to work around that fact [09:04] ActionParsnip, also... we meet again (aka n3urot1x ;) [09:04] exit [09:04] recentlydeceased: howdy :) [09:05] ActionParsnip, just at work, thought I'd give this a whirl so my local vim can edit remote files without cr**ing out over sftp [09:06] ActionParsnip, easiest might be to just add a script to startup-apps to mount [09:06] recentlydeceased: possibly, if you add the noauto option it won't automount, but will be present so your mount command will simply be: sudo mount /mount/point [09:07] ActionParsnip, sweet, thanks for the tip!

[09:10] <_tasslehoff_> Can I create that volume during the install, and have it so the password I enter on boot unlocks both SSD and HDD? === louis_ is now known as Tianhong-wang [09:11] _tasslehoff_: what is the platter based storage going to be used for? I suggest you put swap, /home and /var on the platter based drive [09:14] <_tasslehoff_> ActionParsnip: the ssd is 240gb, the hdd 1tb. I work with embedded linux, and compile kernel+rootfs quite often. my initial thought was "everything on ssd and mount the hdd as /data and put what I don't think needs speed there" [09:15] <_tasslehoff_> My src will need to be on the ssd at least === BM is now known as Guest44579 [09:16] _tasslehoff_: swap on the SSD isn't a great idea due to limited writes. /var holds guff like logs and debs from installs etc [09:16] <_tasslehoff_> and since this is my work pc, the src is pretty much all the data I will have. I bought the hdd as well in case I run out of space on the ssd :) [09:16] <_tasslehoff_> ActionParsnip: cool. I will heed thy advice [09:16] _tasslehoff_: you don't mount drives, you mount partitions [09:17] <_tasslehoff_> ActionParsnip: yeah, I'm a sloppy question-asker :) [09:17] _tasslehoff_: you could make it all one partition if you wanted and mount it as /data if you want. That's fine :). I'd use a little for system stuff, gets it off the SSD [09:17] <_tasslehoff_> ActionParsnip: systemstuff being the swap and var stuff you mentioned? [09:17] _tasslehoff_: yes [09:18] <_tasslehoff_> so I then create a separate partition for /var? [09:18] <_tasslehoff_> s/so/do/ [09:18] _tasslehoff_: sure, its part of the install process. Just use custom partitioning [09:20] <_tasslehoff_> ActionParsnip: since I have a 240GB SSD, I believe I can fit most of my data there. No reason not to put /home on SSD then? [09:20] <_tasslehoff_> what is the rule-of-thumb for choosing the size of swap? [09:20] _tasslehoff_: 250% of ram [09:21] <_tasslehoff_> bloodrye: no matter how much ram? I have 8gb atm. [09:21] you need to fit hybernation snapshot and some more data there [09:21] _tasslehoff_: Rule of thumb is: "Use as much swap as you need, and if you need any buy more ram" [09:22] hi, i have a problem trying authenticate from my client ubuntu using ldap user credential registered in a ldap server on debian squeeze. someone could help me please? [09:22] _tasslehoff_: in that case, use 100% ram + 2-3GiB instead [09:22] !suspend [09:23] i'm fine off with 4GiB ram and like 6GiB swap [09:23] <_tasslehoff_> 12gb swap it is then, thanks [09:23] ActionParsnip: well swap on SSD is ok, as long as your swap is used for OS organizational stuff and hibernating only [09:24] ;) [09:24] Hi, how can I debug, why am I not able to suspend? The suspend log says it is done, but the screen freezes, with the power button still glowing and the only way I can get back is by rebooting. I am on 11.10 [09:24] _tasslehoff_: you could, depends if it needs speed. You could put some on the SSD and some on the platter based one. Things like browser web cache yuo could even put into tmpfs [09:25] arvind_khadri: to disk or to ram?

[09:25] _tasslehoff_: if you have enough RAM for your needs you can probably get away with no swap :P [09:25] bloodrye, Um I dont know to where it is suspending to. I am using the suspend button from GUI [09:26] arvind_khadri: there is sleep suspend and hybernate suspend [09:26] hybernate suspend aka suspend to disk may not work if swap is not configured properly, or if it is encrypted [09:27] bloodrye, I see, how about to disk?

[12:43] MonkeyDust: very, especiially miles away :) === q-rban is now known as q0rban [12:45] ActionParsnip: there is no CMOS battery on the DRAC card [12:49] How do I mark an "executable file" as "executable"? chmod +x, or marking it in the permissions GUI, does not work :-/ [12:49] Where would you install Netbeans if you had to? It is in the repository but it won't show the php plugin pack so I am going to download and install manually. I am just looking for where it is best practice to install non-repo aps? [12:50] Mayazcherquoi: how are you trying to execute it? [12:51] unless the binary is in your PATH, you need to specify the entire path (relative or absolute) [12:51] Attie: I've tried via nautilus (double clicking), as-well as the terminal. [12:51] e.g: ./myapp [12:51] Yes. [12:51] I have done that. [12:51] elijah: usually, when you install 3rd party apps, you put them in /opt [12:51] ok, what permissions does the file have/ [12:51] how do you know its an executable file? [12:52] and owner/group info too pls [12:52] Mayazcherquoi: whats the output from the following commands: [12:52] Attie: At the moment, owner:rw. I can't seem to change it at all though, not even via root ;-/ [12:52] file [12:52] head -n 1 [12:52] "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, not stripped" [12:52] latter assuming its a non-binary [12:53] oops, which it is, so don't run head :) [12:53] What I just gave you was the output from your 'file' command. [12:53] Yep. [12:53] so 'chmod 700 ...' didnt work? [12:53] any error? [12:53] Attie: None at all. [12:53] Mayazcherquoi: what happens if you run ./? [12:54] is the filesystem mounted with the noexec flag? [12:54] and what is the filesystem [12:54] Thor^^: Permission denied error. Although that is strange, since I tried running it under "sudo" with the same error. [12:54] Attie: It is an NTFS external HDD. [12:54] yeah noexec sounding likely [12:54] NTFS? [12:54] Wow, never knew that flag existed. [12:54] try copying it to an ext partition and try again [12:54] ouch, yeah [12:55] I'll try moving it over to the local HDD :) [12:55] Thanks guys! :) [12:55] :) good plan [12:55] Thor^^: Much appreciated buddy, that jives with this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/1148/what-is-the-best-place-to-install-user-apps [12:55] I still rely on FAT when I need to cohabit [12:57] elijah: it's the usual aproach for all *nix enviroments to use /opt for non-standard aplications and libraries [12:57] Mayazcherquoi: if you want to keep the binary on your external, take a look at the ntfs mount flags, there is one to override the file mode, but be careful as it overrides all files [12:59] hello?

[12:59] * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ [13:00] so I am using Ubuntu 10.10 for my media server (with the gui desktop for ease of access) and it now appears the desktop has frozen (keyboard/mouse unresponsive, even when trying to plug other ones in) yet the server is still streaming media without any issues. Any recommendations as to what I should do ? [13:01] !10.10 | Dj_FlyBy [13:01] Dj_FlyBy: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [13:02] hi [13:02] It's only been 9 days since the EOL. I don't see why someone wouldn't respond [13:02] How do I start my ssh server? [13:02] hi [13:02] linux: yo [13:02] ... [13:03] who known the qq [13:03] lmat- sudo apt-get install ssh [13:03] Dj_FlyBy: then you are asking 9 days late [13:03] indystorm: It's installed. It worked recently. [13:03] LmAt: sudo service ssh start [13:03] Thor^^: It says opt is read-only, I should make writable, install, then change back right? [13:03] Dj_FlyBy: brb. [13:03] are you Chinese too? [13:03] .....ahh... someone beat me to it... lol did dj answer ur question? [13:04] Dj_FlyBy: Job already running. [13:04] elijah: are you installing using sudo? [13:04] LmAt: sudo service ssh restart [13:04] Dj_FlyBy: brb [13:04] Thor^^: Hmm, no. I just ran the netbeans.sh from the desktop. I will try to launch it via sudo w/terminal [13:05] FUCK [13:05] Dj_FlyBy: The output was "ssh start/running, process #" [13:05] if its already running then check you are connecting on correct port and/or iptables -L [13:05] I am a Japanese [13:05] Dj_FlyBy: and I still can't connect. [13:05] if I run apt-get upgrade on my apache related packages, will it overwrite my configurations and data and stuff? [13:05] fl1bbl3: That's right! I had dns problems the other day. Thanks! [13:05] elijah: /opt is only writeable by root [13:06] LmAt: see the msg from fl1bbl3 [13:06] Dj_FlyBy: Got it. DNS resolution is resolving to 192.168.10.188, but the ifconfig is x.10.177 [13:06] Dj_FlyBy: :( I'm connected now. [13:06] Thor^^: K, that is good to know. It wants to default to /usr/local, is that okay too? [13:07] elijah: /usr/local is generally bad practice since it could collide with something installed from the repository later [13:08] Thor^^: Good to know, I will override [13:08] How do i enable universe repo ? [13:11] okay, I'm in. [13:11] I am installing Ubuntu 11.10 or something on virtualbox. I am at a creen that says for best results have: 4.5G space, AC power , internet. I have AC power only and the continue button is greyed out. How do I continue? [13:12] nimesh_accenture System Settings > Software Sources [13:12] l403: sure the vm has a defined virtual hd where you can install to? [13:13] yep, 3.9G [13:13] ubutu loves to have network access - but this is not really needed === aaron_ is now known as LmAt [13:13] so in case you have enough space - everything should be ok [13:13] thats whats confusing. those things sound like they are recommended but not mandatory [13:13] l403: thats not enough, reread what you just wrote [13:13] 3,9 vs 4.5 [13:14] "For best results" [13:14] l403: my vote is - get more space if you use the default install medium [13:14] l403: 4.5 is pretty low [13:14] or move to a server or alternate cd [13:14] dont tell me I have to get internet too [13:15] this is a CD iso [13:15] l403: no, you don't need internet [13:15] why doesnt it say you absolutely must have at least 4.5 [13:15] misleading [13:15] oh come on ;) === chopin_ is now known as jkeiper [13:16] !requirements | l403 [13:16] l403: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu or !Lubuntu [13:16] Does anyone have netbeans 7.1.1. installed on 12.04, I just installed and the menu items are very dark, there is no contrast [13:16] elijah ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:16] elijah: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until released [13:16] In order to install gnome on a ubuntu machine running unity - is that just sudo apt-get install gnome-shell? [13:17] mads-: yep [13:17] fidel, thanks [13:17] consider getting gnome-tweak-tool aswell [13:17] does ubuntu automatically "see" mac drives? [13:17] srsly who could have overlooked such a misleading message. there is other people in blogs complaining [13:18] l403: dont blame us - write to canonical if you really think it is misleading [13:18] l403 you contact the vbox maintainer [13:18] there are 3 points, 2 are recommendations and 1 is requirement. play a little guess game [13:18] could* [13:18] or virtualbox aka oracle ...hf ;) [13:18] chipotle_: no such thing as mac drives, if you mean can it read hfs and hfs+ then yes [13:19] chipotle_: by default, i'm not sure though [13:19] !hfs | chipotle_ [13:19] chipotle_: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [13:21] This might be a samba question, but I think it's more of an fstab question. http://pastebin.com/X1vcqr3c That's my smb.conf and relevant fstab line. I can do whatever I want on this share from a windows box, but not from the server itself. === Octane is now known as Guest44211 [13:25] how do i share a drive via smb on ubuntu? [13:28] chipotle_, http://pastebin.com/X1vcqr3c There's my smb.conf. It's a completely wide open share though. [13:28] chipotle_, did you install all the right packages yet? [13:30] craigbass1976: which packages do i need? [13:30] samba4? [13:37] I want to get some opinions. Mosh vs SSH [13:38] ciao [13:38] never seen an SSH pit.... [13:38] !poll| Xeneth [13:38] Xeneth: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [13:38] Xeneth: that's like asking "I need some opionions on oranges vs. fruits" [13:38] hey [13:39] How can i mount a bin/cue image in ubuntu? [13:39] convert it to an iso, then mount -t iso9660 [13:39] fl1bbl3: does the conversion always work? [13:39] or do errors occur [13:40] fair enough [13:40] generally works, but then its rare to have to do it at all [13:40] so difficult to accumulate data [13:43] Wow, screen sure is cool... [13:43] LmAt: now try tmux :) [13:44] Xeneth: you realize that mosh actually uses ssh as underlying protocol, over which ssp runs [13:44] try byobu, it's a 'shell' around screen, i can no onger miss it [13:44] how do i install an alpha package? [13:44] longer* [13:44] it's name 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2 [13:45] jrib: Why? [13:45] LmAt: it's an alternative to screen. Try both and see what you like [13:45] hi guys [13:46] jrib: So screen can't show multiple terminals at the same time, but tmux can? Sounds like a simple choice to me :) [13:46] !screen [13:46] screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [13:46] how do i upgrade to 12.04 LTS? [13:46] LmAt: of course you can split screen windows [13:46] chipotle_ easiest and fastest is a fresh install [13:46] chipotle_: 12.04 has not been released yet; it's still in beta [13:46] !12.04 | chipotle_ [13:46] chipotle_: 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 [13:47] SunTsu: nope. I came across it, and every time I have a chance to read about it, I get interupted. That is good to know though. :) [13:47] it fixes my samba4 problem [13:47] otherwise i can't install it :/ [13:47] or is there some way to get this package on 11.10? 4.0.0~alpha18.dfsg1-4ubuntu2 [13:47] Hello, Is Final Release of 12.04 still due for 26th? [13:47] SunTsu: oh [13:48] Xeneth: the big advantage of mosh is that you can create a new ssh session and reconnect your mosh session - but I normally use screen for that purpose [13:49] Xeneth what SunTsu says, i do the same [13:49] SunTsu: on the tmux wiki page, it says that a feature of tmux that differentiates it from GNU Screen is "free-form splitting of the virtual console in order to provide simultaneous access to several terminals within one session." [13:49] with byobu4 [13:50] LmAt: yeah, tmux can split multiple times, horizontally, vertically, while screen is not as flexible in that regard [13:51] still I find myself not usinfg split windows at all most of the time [13:51] helou, is runing in ubuntu ssh server in default ? [13:51] SunTsu: But Screen can split once? Only horizontal or both? [13:51] chipotle_, sorry, I had customers. As far as I know, sudo apt-get install samba will get you the server on lucid. The link I pasted earlier will give you a wide open share after you've got the server installed [13:51] SunTsu: I don't expect that I would split very often eithr. [13:51] SunTsu, MonkeyDust: Screen is one of those things I need to get into. I know of it, and looks promissing, but got busy and never learned to use it. [13:52] screen is awesome :) [13:52] does anyone know what the " -ma " argument does in windows cmd? [13:52] hello [13:52] LmAt: yes, screen can split once, thrice, horizontally, vertically, but it's not that easy. tmus i way nicer in that regard and more lightweight [13:52] for several terminals in one session I would use clusterssh [13:52] tmux even [13:53] This might be a samba question, but I think it's more of an fstab question. http://pastebin.com/X1vcqr3c That's my smb.conf and relevant fstab line. I can do whatever I want on this share from a windows box, but not from the server itself. [13:53] Xeneth that's how flexible ubuntu is ;) [13:53] flippo: for doing the same stuff on multiple boxes I use the same === ladder3 is now known as zz|ladder3|zz [13:53] SunTsu: thanks. [13:53] er [13:53] fl1bbl3: for doing the same stuff on multiple boxes I use the same [13:55] the biggest drawback with tmux for me is that tmux always scales to the smallest shell connected to the same session, so connecting my mobile phone to watch onging work becomes a pita [13:56] my laptop display dims a little when its not in used for few seconds when its not connected to the power. How do change the diming settings ? [13:58] ChaMeLioN|2, Go to power management [13:58] then go to screensaver settings === tafelpoo1 is now known as tafelpoot [13:58] and see in both what is making the screen dim. :3 [13:59] HelenB: okay, thanks. :) [13:59] You're welcome! === ChaMeLioN|2 is now known as ChaMeLioN [13:59] Shojo: what "windows cmd"? [14:01] could somebody help me install skype on ubuntu ? [14:01] fl1bbl3: the command is: " syslinux -ma f: " . [14:01] eid activate the 'partner sources' then do apt-get install skype [14:02] ah in that cause I have no idea [14:03] as I've never tried it, and it has no ma or m or a options [14:03] tks anyways fl1bbl3 [14:03] MonkeyDust apt-get install skype ? [14:03] how do I dump an ubuntu image for panda board that is installed in SD card to a file on my desktop ? and how do i put it back to the sd card again to the desktop? [14:03] eid first update [14:04] update Ubuntu ? [14:04] eid you're only updating the package list. [14:04] wait a sec [14:05] i use software ubuntu software center [14:05] i cannot find skype there in the download list [14:05] Did you enable the partner source? [14:05] so i get on skype site [14:05] yes i think [14:05] it is just in another language [14:05] it's in romanian [14:06] eid open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update, after you activated the partner repos, then you can use software center to install skype [14:06] i see [14:07] what does this do ? [14:07] It updates the package list [14:07] i noticed some problem while using live pool app. on facebook , it play very slowly unlike Windows is working perfect . Any one notice ?

[14:08] jrib: Another nice thing about tmux that I just noticed is that when the console wants to beep (typing into terminal with no text present), screen blinked, but tmux beeps properly. [14:09] eid at the command line do "grep partner /etc/apt/sources.list" [14:09] LmAt: you can configure screen to do that too [14:09] Make sure at least one of the lines you see, namely deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner does not have a # in the first column. [14:09] eid^^^^ [14:10] eid Or whatever release of Ubuntu you're running [14:10] gvo after grep command nothing is returned [14:11] hello [14:11] eid so you don't have the partner repo mentioned. What version? 11.04? [14:12] how can i see version ? [14:12] hello I want to install this theme: http://malys777.deviantart.com/#/d4w8o58 and it requires MyUnity package to be installed.

I didn't know about that when I lost 6.04 [14:34] does anyone have some boot parameters I can try? i'm using ubuntu oneiric [14:34] gvo you mean 6.06 ? [14:34] bazhang: RIght. [14:34] !nomodeset | juraj [14:34] juraj: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [14:34] bazhang: Been too long [14:34] juraj, or try the alternate cd [14:34] !alternate | juraj [14:34] juraj: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [14:34] how can i see all videos on youtube ? [14:34] #openbrd [14:35] eid are you still on 12.04? [14:35] I installed it from wubi and it crashes even when booting into rescue mode [14:35] yes :) [14:35] You're asking questions in the wrong channel. [14:36] juraj, wubi? [14:36] Why is there an outdated apache2 in the repository? Like really ourdated. 11.10 ubuntu [14:36] juraj, any error messages? [14:36] ryannathans: outdated how? [14:37] I just tried nomodeset, nope. [14:37] it hangs very quickly [14:37] i asked it on ubuntu+1 but didn't receive answer sorry [14:37] juraj, that was before you mentioned wubi [14:37] Pici: the latest is 2.2.20 in the repository and 2.4.2 is out. [14:37] eid then be patient. thats where to ask [14:37] so I can't read the messages [14:37] Pici: I just got pwned by someone exploiting something fixed in a new version. [14:38] ryannathans: 2.4 is a different branch than 2.2. And 2.4 won't even be in 12.04 [14:38] juraj If Wubi fails to start, boot into Windows, run chkdsk /r from Windows on the same drive where you installed Ubuntu, shutdown cleanly and then try to boot into Ubuntu again. [14:38] Pici: what about 2.2.22? [14:38] ryannathans: That is in 12.04 right now. [14:38] Pici: why doesn't 11.10 recive updated anymore? It's the latest stable. [14:38] ryannathans: And we usually backport security patches. Do you have a CVE or similar for the exploit that you encountered? [14:39] I don't think the problem is in wubi [14:39] ryannathans: well, technically not backports, they land in the -security repos. [14:39] the system doesn't have a CD unit so wubi was the easiest thing to do [14:39] juraj How do you know? [14:40] Pici: I really don't want to compile from source and install as it'll interfere with aptitude and it'll cause hell. I wish to share details about the exploit but security team is still investigating. [14:40] I have a feeling that would happen if I tried to boot it from cd too. [14:40] how register a nickname at a special channel [14:40] ? [14:40] !register | gotmilk [14:40] gotmilk: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [14:40] gotmilk, /join #freenode for help as I said earlier [14:40] Could I unzip a file from a Ubuntu server on windows using Filezilla ? [14:41] StevenCodes: probably [14:41] i can't send mesage at bt-linux [14:41] ryannathans: Well, security fixes are always applied to releases that are still supported, and 11.10 still is. [14:41] gotmilk: you need to ask for registration help in #freenode, not here. [14:41] meganerd, Command ? [14:41] gotmilk, /join #freenode and register [14:41] Pici: why isn't the latest in the repoitory then? [14:41] StevenCodes: do you want to zip it? [14:42] it would be helpful if I could slow it down so I can read kernel messages [14:42] StevenCodes: I use 7zip on Windows and Ubuntu as it pretty much can uncompress anything [14:42] ryannathans: because patches for security updates are applied, which don't necessarily require a version upgrade. [14:42] ryannathans: security patches are backported which is why you need to look beyond mere version numbers [14:42] Hmm. Okay, i'll believe you. :) [14:42] ryannathans: this is no different than Debian [14:43] Thanks guys [14:43] meganerd, Thing is this ain't my server and I don't have SSH just FTP and trying to unzip my site but net2ftp said it was too big to unzip so im thinking thats in php.ini is there another way i can trasnfer [14:43] juraj what's the last thing displayed? [14:43] I will try to get a cap before it fades [14:43] StevenCodes break it into smaller zip files. [14:43] StevenCodes: so you have a tar.bz that you want to unzip? [14:43] meganerd, nah but its reg zip but I can make it tar.bz [14:44] StevenCodes: it doesn't matter, where is this zip file (remote or local to your machine [14:44] juraj edit the grub command line and remove the "quiet" parameter. [14:44] BTW if it responds to sysrq commands does it mean it's graphics only? [14:45] yeah I'm already doing that, and trying to boot into single user [14:45] StevenCodes: pity you don't have linux at the other side, then its a simple lftp mirror command :) [14:45] but it really quickly fades into brownish colors [14:45] actually a really nice picture, kinda looks like past ubuntu backgrounds [14:45] fl1bbl3, Moving wordpress is a bitch this day has been screaming get linux back lol [14:45] juraj take a video? [14:46] meganerd, Desktop [14:46] and on The server [14:46] StevenCodes: maybe cygwin and lftp? [14:47] StevenCodes: on windows I use winscp to download, and 7zip to uncompress [14:47] ok, video coming soon. [14:47] fl1bbl3, Your name is hard to auto type lol [14:47] meganerd, I'm trying to uncompress it onto the server though [14:47] and my internet sucks [14:47] and file is huge [14:48] StevenCodes: and you do not have shell access? [14:48] StevenCodes: so no ssh or telnet? [14:48] meganerd, Nopes [14:48] StevenCodes: so what's wrong with breaking it into smaller pieces? [14:48] Host is a dick [14:48] StevenCodes: so that is kind of your problem right there [14:48] gvo, Never needed to so guess didn't think about it how would I go about that ? [14:48] StevenCodes: So what does this have to do with Ubuntu? [14:48] meganerd, I'm coincidently migrating to new host [14:49] StevenCodes: Unzip it locally the zip smaller chunks/ [14:49] Pici, original question " command to unzip on ubuntu, basically " [14:49] the==then [14:49] hi [14:49] hmm think i'm gonna have to good idea :) [14:50] StevenCodes: I didn't think that ftp supports that sort of transaction, I could be wrong as I have not used ftp in close to a decade. The webhost I use allows ssh and sftp/scp [14:50] how do I fix this: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. [14:50] there a way to look at all packages installed and verify they have their deps installed? [14:50] meganerd, Yeah too young to pay gonna use 000webhost till I can get a paid one [14:50] i've apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrdade << finishes successfuly [14:51] but i can't install mysql-server [14:51] or libxml2-dev [14:51] crankharder: sudo apt-get clean [14:51] crankharder: then an update [14:51] returns immediately? [14:51] Hello [14:52] here's the video of the hang: http://www.mediafire.com/?la575qkaigsil6c [14:52] crankharder: Can you do sudo apt-get install -f and pastebin any errors you get. [14:52] crankharder: Bring up synaptic and do an Edit>Fix broken packages [14:52] StevenCodes: trust me, install cygwin then install lftp [14:52] sudo apt-get install http://pastie.org/3817097 -- using ubuntu server, no synaptic [14:52] then use mirror command [14:53] Pici: http://pastie.org/3817106 [14:54] fl1bbl3 cgywin sucks but ill give it a go [14:54] crankharder: What does lsb_release -sc say? [14:54] I can reset it with sysrq-reisub. does that mean that it's a graphics only issue? [14:54] hi all [14:54] i'm new here [14:54] hi [14:55] well it is doing the upgrade now to 11.04 so lets hope it goes smoothly [14:55] Pici: oneiric [14:55] crankharder: And yet you have all lucid repositories in your sources.list. [14:55] has anyone attend course in pentest? [14:55] Pussee8er, thats offtopic here [14:56] owh really? sorry about it [14:56] gvo did you take a look? [14:56] !pentest [14:56] just want toknow actually [14:56] crankharder: I don't really know what happened to your install, but it sounds like you either upgraded to 11.10 and then modified your sources.list, or did some weird freaky update to 10.04. [14:57] juraj I can't play .mov, don't have the codec. I'm looking for it. [14:57] Pici: :/ not sure how it got that way [14:57] sorry, I'll upload a picture, don't bother [14:57] juraj what version of Ubuntu? [14:57] Pici: http://pastie.org/3817131 tried s/lucid/oneric/ but am getting errors updating -- know what it should be? [14:58] Hey , how can i install xhydra gtk ? pls [14:58] crankharder: 'oneiric' [14:58] er, yea :/ [14:58] Pici: thanks for catching that [14:59] here's a picture http://imgur.com/CcNR9 [14:59] 5 more days till latest LTS ! you guys excited ? [14:59] juraj I found itl [14:59] !12.04 | deathtech [14:59] deathtech: 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 [14:59] juraj so what version of Ubuntu? [15:00] oneiric [15:00] Hm Nothing in that output that looks strange. [15:00] knows anyone some network logon cracker ? [15:01] venon what's that got to do with Ubuntu? [15:01] venon: not the place for that. [15:01] lo, @venon , you need to head to a pentesting channel [15:01] gvo for ubuntu :) [15:01] venon: yes, now go somewhere else, please, where that's on-topic [15:02] deathtech pentesting ? [15:02] juraj does this system have a USB port? [15:02] yes [15:03] Burn a usb drive with Ubuntu. [15:03] Boot from it. [15:03] do any ubuntu media players have a Songkick plugin? [15:03] no help from ubuntu+1 [15:03] can i know what kind of irc software best for ubuntu? [15:03] :( [15:03] Pussee8er: Chatzilla works [15:04] hello [15:04] Pussee8er: I use xchat, but not sure if it's best. works for me [15:04] eid install 11.10 and we'll be glad to help. [15:04] i'm using xchat.. but i can't see anybody in channel [15:04] Pussee8er: xchat here [15:05] gvo, Is it fast running off usb if you knw ? [15:05] why I can't open Bluetooth in ubuntu ,but must switch to windows to do open/close Bluetooth? [15:05] StevenCodes: No not very [15:05] Pussee8er: was using pidgin, until today, i'm trying smuxi [15:05] !best [15:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:05] StevenCodes: It probably will be at usb version 3. [15:06] nuc install blueman [15:06] #openbrd [15:06] gvo, What setup would you reccomend ? OS etc.. [15:06] greetings everyone [15:06] StevenCodes: for what? [15:06] gvo, A good linux OS and stuff [15:07] ok thanks.. [15:07] exit [15:07] cwi: smuxi's good, especially if you have a server to install it on. it stays logged into your IRC servers. then you use the smuxi client to log in via your server and have the same settings nomatter which machine you're on [15:07] StevenCodes: That's a bit like "how long is a piec of string?" [15:07] Any body up for an Ubuntu printer issue question? [15:07] max978, which printer [15:07] StevenCodes: PM? [15:07] KX-MB781 [15:07] gvo, Shoot [15:08] by Panasonic [15:08] So I have a question. I am currently SSH'ing into a machine, (running 11.10 on both sides) and I can launch X programs on my remote box and display them. However, I want to be able to launch chromium on my side, and when i click a torrent, have it open up on the remote GUI running transmission. Is this possible ? [15:08] max978, what does linuxprinting.org database have to say about that printer === zaba_ is now known as Guest40501 [15:08] connect ssh -X user@host [15:08] markgifford: i'm just using it as a client :) not an expert here [15:08] deathtech, why not consider rtorrent in that scenario [15:08] is that OpenPrining? [15:09] sorry OpenPrinting [15:09] ok? [15:09] max978, did you check the db there? [15:09] max978, from the link I just gave you? [15:09] bazhang, mostly because I use torrent fu from my mobile phone to remotely send torrents to the server, and i dont think that rtorrent supports that [15:09] I've check OpenPrinting and it's not listed there [15:10] deathtech, i'd suggest rtorrent merits another look [15:10] bazhang , alright, will do, as long as it supports a webui of some type , it may be possible [15:11] deathtech, rtorrent is command line [15:11] so assuming the printer I have isn't listed at OpenPrinting, what are my options for printing aside from buying a new printer or creating a vm of windows on Ubuntu just for printing [15:12] hi [15:12] max978, printer sharing inside a lan? [15:12] max978, what kind of printer is it? [15:12] bazhang, yes, i have used it ages ago. I need the webui interface to be able to use my phone to send torrents to it, and manage them remotely. [15:12] it's a Panasonic KX-MB781 [15:12] laser [15:12] max978, you just gave a number not the brand [15:13] need channel where someone help me with installing hydra , help [15:13] bazhang, I was thinking about maybe using deluge with its daemon [15:13] i am a new ubuntu user and have a question: how can i create a new user and change the home directory of vsftpd? [15:13] i am a new ubuntu user and have a question: how can i create a new user and change the home directory of vsftpd? [15:13] bazhang: its a panasonic [15:14] KeSu , Thise are two different questions. 1.) adduser *name *group 2.) vsftpd.conf [15:14] gvo which is better ubuntu or debian ? [15:14] :) [15:14] eid, preference. depends on what you like. [15:15] sorry, but i mean how to add a user in vsftpd... [15:15] when comparing ubuntu to debian it really boils down to skill level... [15:15] !ot | eid [15:15] eid: #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! [15:16] so I guess I can't use my Panasonic KX-MB781 printer with Ubuntu? [15:16] eid, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+add+a+user+in+vsftpd [15:16] max978, did you try using the generic GDI Driver? [15:16] i dont care how preety you make it, ubuntu is debian for noobs [15:16] you mean the driver Ubuntu recommends initially? [15:16] deathtech, never use that here. it's insulting [15:16] didn't know it did that, sorry [15:17] bazhang, sorry. did not mean to offend. [15:18] so it finds my networked Panasonic printer and then asks me to select a PPD file from the db. It recommends I select the Generic one [15:18] so I do that [15:19] the next choice is models [15:19] why ubuntu sees file owner 500, but other distro 1000? [15:19] I selected "text-only" which is what it recommends [15:19] but if I do, it will throw an error upon doing a test print [15:19] what is the most lightweight simple desktop env I can run? [15:20] v0lksman jwm [15:20] basically need something I can run to load virtualbox interface occasionally [15:20] Lint, the only way that would happen is if you were using ntfs of fat and the uid was specified in the mount point [15:20] MonkeyDust: java? really? [15:20] hi, how do I tell if a port is open or not on my computer? [15:20] dwescott, nope, it´s ext3 [15:20] v0lksman: jwm = joes window manager [15:20] nope...Joe's! [15:20] v0lksman thats not java [15:20] hahaha [15:20] shomon, there are some web services which scan ports === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [15:21] shoman - check out lsof as well, can show you what services are using what ports [15:21] Lint, you would have to paste exactly what you are seeing [15:21] Lint, maybe sshing to that port? [15:21] shomon: netstat -nat gives you some info too. [15:21] is there an ubuntu equivelent to the RHCE degree ? [15:21] max978, not a great solution, but you could plug it into a windows appliance and have it share it on the network [15:21] so from the machine I can see with netstat -nat [15:22] hallo zusammen [15:22] MonkeyDust: is there a package or is it compile only? [15:22] lol it´s simply ¨500 500¨ [15:22] if it's a network printer then the windows appliance wouldn't even have to be directly connected, just on the same network [15:22] both of my accounts have 1000, I checked [15:23] kbiltz: hmmm not sure what you mean by that ... could you expand on that idea for me a little more [15:23] v0lksman it's in the repos, i use it sometimes for quick remote ssh connections [15:23] hi [15:23] shomon: if you want to see udb also, netstat -natu [15:23] deathtech what is vsftpd [15:23] udp [15:24] Lint, what you aren't understanding is that the uid is the only thing saved in the fs. and "joe" on one machine can be 1000 and on another 500. you have to be careful when sharing drives that everyone has the same uid [15:24] thanks Lint and deathtech that's helping [15:24] max978, like if you have a computer (windows, linux, whatever) that can print to that printer, it can just use the folder/printer sharing feature that's in Samba/Windows to let you print from any computer on the network [15:24] MonkeyDust: awesome...thanks...sounds perfect [15:24] for instance, if a windows computer on your network can print to it, you can go to that and right click on the printer and hit 'sharing' and then share it [15:24] I´m always creating my account with uid 1000, as I said it is the same for both machines [15:24] eid , its a fairly easy to use ftp server that you can install with minimal configuration direct form ubuntu repositories [15:24] then Ubuntu prints to that shared printer through the windows box [15:25] *copies [15:25] kblitz: awesome idea! [15:25] but other distro works fine, ubuntu has access problems [15:25] I will try it [15:25] max978 , does that printer support tcp/ip configuration / [15:26] max978 - if so, you could network it and use a generic driver [15:26] max978 - negating the use of a second box [15:26] Lint, if it is showing 500 its because 500 owns the file. if another os shows the same file as "john doe" then john doe is 500 on that system [15:26] deathtech: it is currently networked [15:26] shomon - Great ! Glad I could help. you can do some pretty neat stuff with lsof :) you should check the man pages or google for some nice scripts. I think hak5 did a nice segment on it as well [15:27] Ubuntu can find the printer via it's IP address on my network [15:27] dwescott, it is 1000 in other OS, too [15:27] max978- sorry came in on the tail end of the question, dont let it search , im not sure but can you enter the port manually ? [15:28] max978 - can you ping its IP address from the cli ? [15:28] let me try [15:29] shomon - http://hak5.org/tag/lsof === Owner__ is now known as Guest11297 [15:30] dwescott, absent a mount override that won't happen. if you want to paste the output of ls -l, grep username /etc/passwd, and mount from the systems we can look at it [15:30] does anybody know if bluetooth bug was fixed in linux-3.0? [15:30] area51pilot: hey! [15:31] i know this isn't the right place to ask, but.. is there a way to hide the "has joined" and "quit" notifications in mirc. [15:31] area51pilot: Im not sure if i know you from real life so, do you work on a school as a servermanager? [15:31] obrazu, the mirc channel might know [15:32] i popped in there, didn't see anyone [15:32] join #mirc [15:32] oops :P [15:32] obrazu, /msg alis list *mirc* [15:32] drvanon: hello again, I manage a network LAN and 25 remote locations for a non-profit company in the US [15:32] area51pilot: Thats a no [15:32] area51pilot: Doesn't matter [15:32] area51pilot, this is connected to ubuntu tech support how? [15:33] drvanon: hows your file sharing goingdrvanon: whats the question [15:33] area51pilot: well [15:33] area51pilot: pretty good [15:33] drvanon: were u able to share files in Ubuntu? [15:33] area51pilot: yes [15:34] bazhang: :P i think they were asking for a tech background check [15:34] area51pilot: but xp hasn't the correct permissions [15:34] drvanon: if you want to go to ##windows channel we can discuss XP in there [15:34] here Kernel Panic when using bluetooth [15:35] area51pilot: well, the problems are in ubuntu [15:35] drvanon: whats the issue? [15:35] area51pilot: someone told me that i should use chown and just hang up === gvo is now known as JimXL [15:35] drvanon ? [15:35] area51pilot: yes === diegovieiraeti is now known as diegovieira [15:36] area51pilot: i can't open the maps from windows, [15:36] drvanon what happens when you try to access the files on Ubuntu [15:36] drvanon what maps? [15:36] Hi. I'll be installing Ubuntu from scratch in a bit. I noticed while downloading the 11.10 64-bit ISO that it specifies amd64, but according to uname -a I'm running a x86_64. Will that be a problem? [15:36] area51pilot: i shared a few maps === JimXL is now known as gvo [15:37] area51pilot: i could open them from ubuntu [15:37] Baribal: no [15:37] Great, thanks. [15:37] area51pilot: but not in reverse, so i opened the network location wizard but it said it hadn't the permissions to do that [15:38] Hello, I'm unsure if I'm using the free or proprietary AMD driver on a new user session. How can I check which one's in use? [15:40] mlrenard, glxinfo | grep renderer or check the xorg.0.log [15:42] area51pilot: where are you? [15:43] drvanon: company president had a question :P [15:43] area51pilot, sorry [15:43] apparently I'm using fglrx [15:43] area51pilot, my wrong [15:43] drvanon: network wizard from??? XP? [15:44] area51pilot, indeed [15:44] ok [15:44] Video is choppy and Compiz feels slow / drop frames [15:44] Same computer, other user, proprietary drivers = all ok [15:44] hm. [15:44] area51pilot, how would i give him those permissions [15:45] mlrenard: fglrx are the proprietary drivers. [15:46] This is weird, I'm having the same glitches as if the free ones were in use [15:46] (On an unrelated note: Proprietary GFX drivers killed dual-monitor for me.)

I don't know whether our rules permit what you suggested or not - but I am not self entitled. Next time I'll let an op warn you instead. [18:03] BarkingFish, That is correct.

[19:00] yohann, do "sudo /sbin/tunlevel" [19:00] dljh do you want to make the whole /media/data 700? i think you need the -R option to do that [19:01] runlevel [19:01] Is there a graphical WYSIWYG webpage editor in Ubuntu? [19:01] lapion, yohann left ^^ He said thanks for the bash trick ^^ [19:01] should reply something like "N 2" [19:01] dljh it will recursivly apply the chmod 700 to all files and folders starting with /media/data [19:01] Is there a graphical WYSIWYG webpage editor in Ubuntu? [19:01] oops thanks apwbdjp [19:03] anyone have any other ideas what might be going on for it to not load index.php when going to me website? but it will when i type site/index.php === esm is now known as Guest52566 [19:03] frustrateduser: chmod 700 /media/data/pr0n - No errors within terminal, but the folders permissions are still drwxrwxrwx [19:04] Hi. Can anyone suggest free PDF edit tool? I need just to place image to the existing doc [19:04] dljh try chmod -r 700 /media/data and see if that works [19:04] ugg.. whats the command to load up the graphical package manager?

[19:05] dljh, careful with chmod -r, though [19:05] danith, synaptic? [19:06] danith, gksu synaptic [19:06] apwbdjp it doesnt say the filename it just says type is application/x-trash [19:06] frustrateduser, if you try to save it it will suggest you a name which should be the filename [19:06] hmm ok [19:06] jibberish.part [19:07] oO What in the hell.. === a is now known as Guest683 [19:07] what do I use in apt-get to upgrade the kernel? [19:07] apwbdjp had the same thing with wordpress so i figured it was server problem [19:08] -r isn't a flag... [19:08] -R? [19:08] chmod -R 700 /media/data [19:08] danith: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:08] The permissions for the folder is still the same [19:09] -r is an option that allows recursive behaivor when using cp, mv, rm etc dijh [19:09] thanks [19:09] dljh: is it an ntfs partition? [19:09] im not sure then dijh ive never come accross that [19:09] frustrateduser : yes, -R for chmod [19:09] ActionParsnip : indeed [19:10] How much disk space do you guys normally give to your root partition? [19:10] ActionParsnip : declare when mount in fstab? [19:10] dijh only thing i can think of is the system doesnt have ntfs-3g installed so it cant change the file permissions [19:11] How do I find out where apt-get installed a package? [19:11] Dljh: you'll need to set the options at mount. Ntfs cannot hold Linux permissions [19:11] frustrateduser, did you use the install.php installer? [19:11] Mine has 6.5GiB and I keep getting warned that the amount of space left is really low. [19:11] apwbdjp yep went through the install proccess no problem [19:11] apwbdjp had to type /install.php though [19:11] ActionParsnip, ntfs-3g translates unix permissions to ntfs permissions [19:12] anth0ny: you could use packages.ubuntu.com or apt-file [19:12] lapion: maybe but you can't change them once mounted [19:12] frustrateduser, check out on /var/www if you have nothing else with index.htm name, maybe that's where apache sends you [19:13] ActionParsnip, if ntfs is mounted rw [19:13] apwbdjp thanks ill check and let you know === giovy is now known as giovy2121 [19:14] anth0ny: why do you need to know? $PATH deals with that stuff well [19:14] How do I get help with my irc.ubuntu.com account?

[19:15] Tigerboy: try #freenode [19:15] thanks wylde: [19:15] Or is there another channel I ask about ubuntu app dev? [19:15] ActionParsnip : That's what I thought, thank you :) [19:15] ActionParsnip, well, I'm installing a program that asks me to tell it where other packages are located, I'm not really sure where they are [19:15] mads-: #ubuntu-dev maybe? [19:16] mads-: or you can use ruby or love. Python is well documented too :-) [19:16] to delete files that are not deleteable on ntfs-3 just overwrite the file with "echo > /path/to/file/filename" [19:16] ActionParsnip, I just rather use C++. I don't really know the other languages [19:17] anth0ny: could use the locate command [19:17] ActionParsnip, ah, that works well, thanks [19:17] mads-: then I'd ask in #c++ [19:17] ActionParsnip : So, is it possible to mount my data partition to /media/data, and have a directory within /media/data/differentpermissions have different permissions than the rest of the directories? [19:18] dljh: not sure with ntfs there dude === Goku is now known as Dios [19:19] apwbdjp there was an index.html.old file in the directory and that seemed to be the issue, thanks for the suggestion [19:19] ActionParsnip, I'm asking an ubuntu related question.

[20:04] Halexander9000, then try it, feed it something and see if it works. I've never done this before, I just gave a suggestion [20:05] Halexander9000: if you're using pavucontrol (Pulse Audio) then you should be able to control the audio of the feed from your USB device.

[20:22] Hi there. I have this 2TB (1.8TB) NTFS drive that Windows 7 can access but Ubuntu 12.04 can't. It's almost full. Gparted is listing the disk, but don't recognizes the partitions/filesystem. I have another one with the same manufacturer/model and it's working fine [20:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/937353/ === klangePunchingFi is now known as klange [20:22] windows read it just fine and list all the almost 2TB in it, it has like 1GB left to use [20:22] i mean...im buidling a howto on installing opevpn.. [20:22] !12.04 | mizifih [20:22] mizifih: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [20:22] Soes the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver work in Ubuntu 11.10? [20:22] guys is there a way to hide the places menu in gconf-editor [20:22] MariachiAC: works fine for me [20:23] asktrytest, the last distro that supported it was 8.10, but it's probably better to use Hardy/8.04 as there's more support/software for it [20:23] actually, it's better just to use the open-source radeon driver... [20:23] mizifih: the very first line give you a pretty good clue about what is going on [20:24] Ok jrib. I am trying to get it to work. [20:24] Could someone tell me if there's a way to view all audio input devices so I can tell VLC which one to stream from? [20:24] Pretty please? [20:24] dlentz thanks alot, i'll look into it [20:24] does anyone know to hide the places menu in gnome 2 [20:25] meganerd: I'm new to ubuntu so, I have no clue. [20:26] minka: are you using Lucid 10.04? [20:26] jrib I installed the driver from the notification Ubuntu gave me in the menu bar. But, afterwards, I do not see any affect. I look under wireless, and I see no listing of my wireless points being listed. However, if I connect my computer back to the wired connection that I used to get the driver, internet works. [20:26] meganerd: ok, use gnu parted... [20:26] MariachiAC: have you rebooted? [20:26] If I were to create a new terminal, what would I need to read first? [20:27] I hope that's clear. Another way of asking: [20:27] Where can I read about the protocol necessary between, say, bash and its terminal? [20:27] Yeah. I rebooted. I even rebooted a machine with 12.04, and it still does nothing. [20:28] mizifih: basically the drive was probably partitioned by Vista or Windows 7 and is using GPT partitions [20:28] MariachiAC: reask your question in #ubuntu+1 [20:28] meganerd: ok. got that part, I probably did that alright, but how do I access it, that's the million dollar question ;( [20:28] is parted gparted? [20:29] zykotick9: he said he's on 11.10 [20:29] MariachiAC: sorry, i see that was just a test. my bad. [20:29] No worries. [20:30] mizifih: there is supposedly support for that, I unfortunately have no experience with it. [20:30] when i try to ecrptfs-setup-private and then am asked for the pw, it is incorrect wether i use my usual login pw or the home-folder pw ubuntu gave me after installing... is there another pw? [20:31] hi all, when I ran apt-get install aptitude, it installed 7 packages in total to have it run. So I just did apt-get autoremove aptitude and it only removes one, what about the other 6 ?? [20:31] meganerd: well, you gave me the way, no I'll google the best rout! [20:31] Could someone please tell me if there's a way to view all audio input devices so I can tell VLC which one to stream from? [20:31] thanks [20:31] Not sure what else to do. jrib , I also removed the driver and reinstalled it to see if that would work. No dice. [20:31] mizifih: googling for ubuntu and gpt should help [20:31] Halexander9000: you using pulse audio server? [20:31] MariachiAC: are you on a mac? [20:32] Optichip: Yes. [20:32] Can I block SSDP by firewall? [20:32] I am using a mac for IRC right now, yes. Laptop has Ubuntu [20:32] Halexander9000: you should be able to select the different devices inside the pavucontrol [20:32] MariachiAC: but the machine with issues is an apple laptop? [20:32] Optichip: Do both of them work at the same time? [20:32] No [20:33] On Dell Inspiron 1420 [20:33] I mean [20:33] 1520 [20:33] MariachiAC: some machines have some sort of hardware switch for the wireless I believe, is that true in your case? [20:33] Sefid_Par: yup, just figure out the port and protocol and you can drop it [20:33] Sefid_Par: hint look at the wikipedia page for ssdp [20:34] jrib, yes it is true in my case. [20:34] maganerd:Thank you. [20:34] Halexander9000: pulse sets audio settings per application much like Windows 7 does, you should be able to select the audio input device for VLC [20:34] Although the switch is set to on all the time. [20:34] MariachiAC: are you sure that's not what is causing the issue? [20:34] I haven't switched it off in a while [20:34] MariachiAC: ok [20:34] Halexander9000: inside pavucontrol [20:35] When doing wlist scan, terminal reports, WLAN 0 fails to read scan data, Network is down. [20:36] I want to remove aptitude and ALL its 6 dependencies, anyone ? [20:36] rfictus, why in the hell? [20:36] MariachiAC, what does this command show: rfkill list [20:36] Kanerix: for testers [20:37] I am using this command to rename files - the result is StockPhoto$i.jpeg for all files, e.g. StockPhoto15.jpeg [20:37] for file in *.jpeg; do mv -i $file StockPhoto$((++i)).jpeg; done [20:37] But I would like to have the numbers formatted, having 4 zeros minimum and max, e.g. from 0001 to 0015 ... to 0120 and 1540 [20:38] the numbers are just examples - so how do I tell bash to use placeholders here? to format the numbers as %dddd [20:38] inthl: IF you don't get an answer here, try #bash [20:38] banned for what? good sound? [20:39] ah, thanks [20:39] #bash [20:39] oops [20:39] inthl: you could do it using printf (see « man printf »), but try bash as well [20:39] banned for what? good sound?

[20:42] not off the top of my head, i just wanted to make sure rfkill wasn't blocking it [20:42] Halexander9000: did you launch pavucontrol [20:43] Optichip: Of course. [20:43] Halexander9000: so under the playback tab, do you have VLC listed? is VLC currently running? [20:44] Hmmm. [20:44] Hopefully I can resolve it soon. [20:44] Optichip: Nope, just System Sounds. [20:44] Optichip: Yes, VLC is running, but it froze. [20:45] Optichip: At least the video part. [20:45] Halexander9000: try restarting VLC, then check to see if it's listed in Playback tab [20:46] Optichip: Do I need to restart pavucontrol too? And if so, after or before VLC? [20:46] Halexander9000: no you can leave pavucontrol open [20:47] Optichip: VLC freezes if I don't pay attention to it and alt-tab to this chat app. [20:47] jrib dlentz , when doing ifconfig in termainl, WLAN 0 is not listed what so ever as an interface.

[20:48] Halexander9000: hmm [20:49] Optichip: As if it goes into standby or something. [20:49] Thanks. I will have a look [20:49] Optichip: But yeah, still nothing on Pavucontrol. [20:50] Halexander9000: it should show up in the list in Playback, you should be able to see what sound device it is configured for, you can click on the sound device and it should show a list of devices to choose from, pick the "correct" device for the input, you might also check the Input tab and make sure that you have a good level of audio coming through that device. === AleksandarS_ is now known as AleksandarS [20:51] Halexander9000: it will only show the VLC program when it's actually doing something, if it's just sitting at the starting VLC screen it will not show up in pavucontrol. [20:52] hello [20:52] Optichip: Nothing of the sort. And like I said, VLC freezes. It's streaming my satellite receiver's GUI right now, and after a minute or so, it freezes. I know that because the feed doesn't update anymore after I try to move the cursor somewhere else. [20:53] greetings to everyone [20:53] Halexander9000: hmm [20:53] greetingz [20:53] I would definitely be a question [20:54] How to run loose binding unity ? [20:55] Is there any way too set fonthinting and anti-aliasing off, for different wms? [20:55] I believe it is off for unity, but if I want too use a tiling wm, it always seems too be turned all the way up. [20:56] Halexander9000: so in your capture settings inside VLC what do you have listed for audio devices? have you attempted to use all of them? === q0rban is now known as q-rban [20:57] algun act [20:58] Optichip: I have nothing listed. It's just an empty text box. And I don't know what to type inside it. [20:59] hello [20:59] anyone here [21:00] Optichip: And I still can't figure out why VLC freezes the stream.

[21:02] hey shaf [21:03] Halexander9000: not freezing on my system here, but I'm capturing from webcam. [21:04] Optichip: I'll try with a webcam and see what it does.

[21:07] _r00t_: and then launching it from the scripts button? [21:07] Optichip: So, do I tell VLC to capture from /dev/card1 [21:08] <_r00t_> Optichip: Ahhhh yes but really this should be a daemon it has no dependency on xbmc running [21:08] Halexander9000: should be something like hw0,1 [21:09] <_r00t_> blast [21:10] Optichip: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'alsa:///dev/hm1'. Check the log for details. [21:12] is there a tutorial to set up 3 monitors? [21:12] Seems that Ubuntu Maverick just stopped being supported (and it was before Precise was released, ouch) [21:12] twinview doesnt work with 3 monitors [21:12] but iirc there were legacy repositories stored somewhere... where were they?

[21:14] Optichip: http://pastebin.com/p2QViE9g This is what's listed as audio input devices on my computer. Could you please tell me what do I use for VLC? [21:15] jAguAr`, if you have /home on a separate partition, no [21:15] you can always back up the home folder before you reinstall [21:15] you'd only lose your programs then [21:17] ok, then i guess there's another option... when i installed some "updates" earlier this morning, gnome got broken to where i none of the menus work [21:18] i just tried reinstalling gnome, but that didn't seem to help [21:19] <_r00t_> ..... ok lets see if this works [21:20] http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ Why?!?!

Did it work with the livecd? [23:17] Phillip, I was going to try setting your wireless up through ndiswrapper, unfortunately I'd need your usbid for the device to do that.
