[00:00] Enter text here.../msg [00:00] does anyone know an solution for Grooveshark ? [00:00] yep its on opt i followed a guide online but it didnt really help [00:00] xerxes_, What seems to be the problem with Flash in the beginning? [00:00] cyrex: well no matter what i did, the adobe-flashplugin AND the flashplugin installer / flashplugin-nonfree didnt work [00:01] ariel__, I normally put it on my desktop ^^, anyway go inside the aptana folder you decompressed, find the binary, right click on it and make sure it has the "executable" flag activated [00:01] cyrex: it's a really old machine i dunno why it didnt work it didnt even load and i can confirm that i saw it was there in both firefox & opera while typing about:plugins [00:01] but the youtube part is solved i just need a solution for grooveshark [00:02] some ppl have some threads about a web application galled gsharkdown but that didnt work neither i search an artist and nothing happens probably grooveshark has changed their API [00:02] xerxes_, Just to check, did you try chrome. If it worked with Chrome you might want to reinstall flash. For the Grooveshark, what is the problem with it? [00:02] cyrex: i tried both with chrome firefox + opera [00:02] cyrex: youtube part is solved with gnash [00:02] does anyone know how to install mindguard [00:02] so we can leave it like that. [00:03] cyrex: the problem is when i visit grooveshark.com i just get an notification in the middle of my browser telling me bla bla flash does not work reload the site [00:03] after installing the onboard keyboard from source, i keep getting the error that it needs a gsettings schema [00:03] google really is giving me no help witht hat [00:03] so i came here [00:04] i checked and i do have a package installed on my system with the name gsettings-schemas... but for some reason i need this schema thing for the onboard keyboard specifically [00:06] xerxes_, Sorry give me a second am on the ubuntu meeting [00:07] cyrex i checked it is executiveable [00:07] i dont know whats the problem [00:08] xerxes_: i highly doubt gnash will work with groveshark, and you can only have one flash implementation at a time... [00:08] zykotick9: ok then what is your advice ? [00:09] xerxes_: don't use groveshark. try proprietary flash... [00:09] zykotick9: i tried that but still i cant get it to work mate [00:09] i tried both flashplugin-installer and -nonfree [00:09] + i tried ubuntu-restricted-extras [00:09] still no go.. [00:09] but with gnash it worked [00:10] xerxes_: long time ago it worked for me - i've stopped using non-free web services/programs since that time though... good luck man. [00:10] i've started an ubuntu channel for our group of people, please come check us out at ##ubuntu-niggers , thanks! [00:11] !ops request to remove cryptopsy - racist comments in #ubuntu [00:11] BarkingFish: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:11] I hate that ops thing - I can never get it to work properly [00:12] BarkingFish: !ops | message to the ops goes here [00:12] BarkingFish: use "!ops | NICKINQUESTION reason after" ;) [00:12] zykotick9: isnt there like any API or any workaround to play Grooveshark in rhytmbox ? [00:12] or something like that [00:12] xerxes_: sorry i wouldn't know... [00:12] I am trying to make a usb key with many different distos, right now, I am stuck on ubuntu 11.10, my goal is to set it up to use syslinux so that I can use extlinux --install and chainload to it from one partition which contains grub legacy. Does anyone have an idea on how to do this? right now I have changed isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg, and done the extlinux --install which worked on openSUSE, but on ubuntu [00:12] It starts to load the screen like it normally would but then throws me into the intramfs shell, saying it can't find something [00:12] ok. I'll remember that. It confuses me cause it doesn't work the same way other Ubottu fired commands do [00:12] hold on and I will get teh exact message [00:13] others you can use !whatever-goes-here follow it with something else, and it's gone, like !info whatever version [00:15] Thought I'd let any Canonical devs know about this video. Good job on 12.04 :P www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp2Sqe-Oa5g [00:15] BarkingFish: All of the factoid commands are the same, the idea being that you use "!factoid | Nick_of_person_you_want_to_send_factoid_to" ("piping" the factoid to the person you want it to go to). !ops is just a factoid command which happens to contain a list of all the ops nicks to get their attention. [00:16] I need help I cant open a terminal when it trys to open it says that I need to search for a program or a file please does anyone know about this [00:16] question [00:16] I need help I cant open a terminal when it trys to open it says that I need to search for a program or a file please does anyone know about this [00:16] Jordan_U, Ah. Ok - I didn't realise you'd have to pipe the ops command to the ops, I thought that was a straight firealarm to you :) [00:17] I need to install Ubuntu on my laptop. Only problem is it can't drive the screen without proprietary drivers enabled. Is there any way I can have that enabled in the bootcd so I don't have to hook my laptop up to another monitor just to install Ubuntu? [00:18] I think I've messed up my settings -- when I log in I get an old-school looking UI -- not the sexy black skin on Ubuntu 11.10 -- Guest accounts look great, but my one account "Steve" got messed up... any ideas? [00:18] D4nt3Alighieri, can't use the screen at all? Tried with an alternate CD? (text version) [00:19] BarkingFish: It is, you're not "piping" it to us, as all our nicks are included in the factoid already, the !ops factoid also has a secondary effect of sending whatever comes after the '|' to #ubuntu-ops. If in doubt, just use "!ops" and we'll figure it out. [00:19] I need some help please I cant open a terminal application I dont know if this is the right one is says terminal emulator and when I try to launch it or something it says " Please choose your preferred termnial emulator now and click ok to proceed.":( [00:19] log out and change the gui via the gear icon next to your username [00:20] note to self: never try to boot 2 virtual machines at the same time >.> [00:21] oh... no error message just drops me into initramfs [00:21] D4nt3Alighieri "log out and change the gui via the gear icon next to your username" didn't work -- tried it [00:21] ...I thought that would do it, but no... [00:22] yeah, so now all my scroll bars, etc, are all old school [00:22] Can some one here me type 123 [00:22] 123 [00:22] help === alexander is now known as Guest4890 [00:22] if i use dd with win7.iso. Can i create live usb with win7?? [00:22] my computer turns off randomly [00:22] steveoliver: Okay I deed not know because no one was answering me can you help me please [00:22] typically Guest4890 that is overheating. [00:23] tbrown2012: probably not :/ [00:23] tbrown2012: what is the exact error message? [00:23] nope [00:23] I check my temps they are normal [00:23] it just does it randomly [00:23] with no warning [00:24] temps are normale [00:24] gtmanfred: Okay when I try to run the terminal emulator it says faild to execute default terminal emullator [00:24] Is it a laptop or a desktop? [00:24] laptop [00:24] so what do you call the "theme" in Ubuntu ? theme?? [00:24] UI ? [00:25] i contacted dell they said its drivers are they righ? [00:25] steveoliver: Desktop Enviornment? [00:25] is there a keyboard shortcut for a terminal or something [00:25] what video chipset is it Guest4890? [00:25] tbrown2012: There will be if you create one. [00:25] usr13: yeah? thanks [00:25] its integrated [00:25] intel hd3000 [00:26] usr13: How can you do that? [00:26] tbrown2012: (I use F12) [00:26] what version of ubuntu? [00:26] tbrown2012: ctrl alt t ..is the default [00:26] 11.10 [00:26] tbrown2012: should bt ctrl+alt+t if i remember from when i used ubuntu [00:26] hello sir [00:26] jrib: you there? [00:26] i want ask about ubuntu sir [00:26] I dono tbrown2012, depends on which Desktop Enviornment you use. [00:27] gnome sir [00:27] I have not encountered those sort of issues Guest4890. What I would suggest is looking through /var/log/dmesg and see what was happening when it crashed. [00:27] ok [00:27] That might reveal where to start looking [00:28] or immediately after a crash might be easier [00:28] dmesg log is big [00:28] tbrown2012: might see if gnome-terminal or xterm are installed? [00:29] ask blackr00tsys. [00:29] anyway, anyone had experience changing the livecd to use syslinux instead of grub2? [00:30] gtmanfred: It was not installed so I installed it and no luck what happen to it I installed winehq and I update xubuntu and nothing went wrong so I dont know am so confused [00:30] tbrown2012: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts [00:30] you can try unetbootin gtmanfred. I believe it uses syslinux... but dont quote me === jkr801_ is now known as jkr801 [00:31] Is getting a ubuntu cloak fairly hard or easy? [00:31] L3top: yeah, it does, but it also overwrites mbr [00:31] yes it does [00:31] but should be usable [00:31] what specifically are you trying to do [00:31] !cloak | Tim_Hortons [00:31] Tim_Hortons: To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. [00:33] which is what I am trying to avoid, I already have fedora16, fedora17, archiso dual, openSUSE, and supergrubdisk(which is booted from mbr to chainload the rest) [00:33] i am trying to get it formated so that I can use syslinux to load ubuntu [00:33] all of these are the live cds [00:34] gtmanfred: It's easier to loop boot the Ubuntu iso file via grub2, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg. [00:34] If I understand you correctly, I think remastersys is what you are after gtmanfred === Tim_Hortons is now known as ________________ [00:34] ok, will try both thank you [00:34] can anybody tell me where to install java 1.5 i cant seem to find the package === ________________ is now known as derp [00:35] ariel__: Use the synaptic [00:35] ariel__, type java and bash should give you some suggestions of candidates packages [00:36] ariel__: Why would you want Java 1.5? [00:37] aptana i cant seem to get it working [00:37] i recently deleted it from opt [00:39] ariel__: Do you have any form of Java installed? [00:40] just jdk why [00:40] If not, then I'd recommend doing: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre [00:43] jrib: hello? [00:47] I need some help I right click terminal and I edit the launcher it says Name: Terminal Emulator Command: Use the command Line Command: host working directory: see I deed not miss with anything in the edit launcher when I got done installing winehq it deed not work after that the "terminal" Please help [00:49] Please someone help me [00:50] tbrown2012: what is wrong? [00:50] Tigerboy: I cant run the terminal [00:51] tbrown2012: Does Ctrl+Alt+T do anything? [00:51] try to install gnome-terminal? [00:52] I normally change the terminal shortcut to that little key right next to the Right Alt [00:52] that way, press: TERMINAL! [00:52] CJKay: I tryed that already lol. Tigerboy: I installed it already I went to the software store and I search for it and I installed it last time but before all of this it work like a charm I update xubuntu [00:53] Oh you didn't say you were on Xubuntu [00:53] tbrown2012: you will find the program under Accessories called "terminal" [00:55] Tigerboy: Yes I went to Accessories and know it pops up a windows saying Failed to execute default terminal Emulator Faild to execute child process "/home/tbrown2012/Desktop/exo-terminal-emulator.desktop" (permission Denied) I have not Idea what this means I know that I dont have permison but am the main administrator for this computer [00:56] tbrown2012: can you see the icon on your desktop? [00:57] tbrown2012: called exo-terminal or just terminal [00:57] Tigerboy: Yes I>_I [00:57] is there any cool apps for monitoring from cli? [00:57] tbrown2012: just right click it and properties then check the execute box [00:58] tbrown2012: or rather allow executing [00:59] Tigerboy: General: Emblems: Permissions: Launcher: I dont see a execute box in each of them? [01:00] tbrown2012: check allow executing file as program or something similar [01:01] Tigerboy: I dont see it? [01:02] tbrown2012: do you see anything in permissions that would allow you to change it to your log on name and give it full powers ? read write execute or the number 7 [01:02] i keep getting importererror when trying to run a python script after running 'sudo python setup.py install' and sucessfullly installing a python module, is there something special that needs to be done to put the python module in a path or something? [01:03] In permission I see Group: And it has tbrown2012 my user name do I put something else [01:04] Tigerboy: In permission I see Group: And it has tbrown2012 my user name do I put something else [01:04] tbrown2012: no that is fine and for owner the same with full permission [01:05] Tigerboy: Know in the Launcher should the command be exo-open--launch terminalEmulator [01:05] tbrown2012: you must set it so it has full permissions including execute usually there is a box at the bottom [01:06] Jordan_U: L3top hmm, i am not sure either of those will work, is there not something similar to extlinux --install for grub2? [01:06] tbrown2012: that is for another terminal program-- it should work you just don't have the execute flag turned on [01:07] Tigerboy: how do I turn the flag on or something? [01:07] i just need a way to activate the bootloader on that partition so that I can chainload to it [01:07] tbrown2012 without a terminal to type in you have to use the file manager which requires right-click then selecting properties tab which should allow you to turn on execute [01:10] Tigerboy: So what is the application should run in the file manager or do you want me to put the file manager on the desktop and right click it and go to properties and aloow you to turn on execute or something [01:11] tbrown2012: do you have thunar or nautilus installed? [01:12] gtmanfred: remastersys will create a live cd that is syslinux based. As far as a switch to get around grub, I do not know of one. [01:12] gtmanfred: that does not mean one does not exist... I am just ignorant of it [01:12] L3top: i don't have ubuntu installed which is I believe what is required [01:13] tbrown2012: if you have nautilus installed launch it and go to Desktop -- find the icon and follow the instructions I gave you. [01:13] Tigerboy: AM installing Konsole Terminal is that the right one and I dont know if I have thunar or Nautileus Installed [01:15] tbrown2012, Any terminal is good, the choice is really up to you, you can try them all [01:15] I would assume you could boot live, install remastersys, and clone the live dvd onto another dvd... might run out of space actually, now that I think about it... but perhaps you could mount another drive with more space and set the cloning operations to run there... was just an idea [01:15] tbrown2012, and to see if an app is installed, just type it in a terminal, and hit enter. [01:15] tbrown2012: also try gnome-terminal [01:16] Tigerboy: I have Gnome_terminal Installed Already were can I find it I cant find it [01:16] apt-cache policy will tell you if it is installed, and what candidates exist. [01:16] L3top: hmm, I might try that in a minute, right now, I am going to just try to boot it directly without chainloading [01:16] k [01:17] tbrown2012: you can create a launcher for it on desktop just use the command gnome-terminal -- it should have left an icon in the menu when you installed it called just "Terminal" [01:18] just use gnome-terminal be careful not to capitalize it. [01:20] hmm, yeah now i get to initramfs quicker...i wonder if there is just a way to get to the try this blah blah screen from here? [01:24] Tigerboy: Thank you for all your help I got it to work Man you are smart [01:25] is there any way to long the gui for the live cd from busybox? [01:26] * L3top isn't sure what you are doing... [01:26] You could try unsquashing the root fs from the dvd into something, chrooting it, and remastering from there [01:26] Again, just thinking out loud [01:28] hmm, that sounds better... i think the problem is when I get to the isolinux menu, it has skipped loading something from grub2... [01:29] 4\ [01:29] remastersys will create its own menu. [01:29] You can too. [01:29] ok, i think i am just going to have to load this think up the old fashioned way and go for it [01:29] remastersys works with zero technical expertise- just be real careful with it - keep all users and passwords the same [01:29] vesamenu.c32 [01:30] dont use updates just make a very controlled system , add one thing at a time and remaster over and over [01:30] remastersys only carries over temporary users I believe, and uses ubiquity to install [01:30] oh [01:30] haylo: i don't have ubuntu installed, i am going to try and do it for the live cd though === mnewton_ is now known as mnewton [01:30] wait there are two options... dist or backup or something. [01:31] yeah i would install to usb instead gtmanfred . build on that and then remaster [01:31] dist will give you a clean version without users [01:31] install to usb like it is a hard drive gtmanfred [01:31] but as you have your sys configured. [01:31] yeah, i think that is what I am goin to do, ugh... [01:32] on the bright side, you can install some desired programs prior to remaster [01:32] yeah chose the one that makes both at once- dont worry about your home folder- just make that slim- it can be backed up normally as data anyway [01:32] L3top: only reason I want to do this is to have all the live cds on one usb so I can install tehm for a bunch of people this weekend [01:32] I see. [01:33] hmm, maybe if i search for bootsector and grub2... hold on [01:33] You could just create aa custom bootloader [01:33] you dont remaster a libve cd- ive treid [01:33] tons of times believe me [01:33] just leave the isos as they are [01:33] yeah i am thinking ahh there we go if you want to install grub2 to a boot sector do this [01:33] but go ahead and give it a whirl [01:34] ok, i think i found what i was looking for ... now to try it [01:34] its not going to work [01:35] im trying to tell you [01:35] There is no reason it shouldnt work. [01:35] <_schism_> has anyone used ubuntu with the arm realview platform by any chance? [01:36] well it could wirk- but i dont think it will. i thnk you do that with dd , make sustem changes but keep live format [01:37] trying to do it with remaster i think is wrong way- ive been scolded over and over for even trying- and in the end it didnt work [01:37] You can loop mount the raw image itself and remaster it. [01:37] I use a similar process to make our kubu based iso. [01:38] L3top, which kubu based iso may ask? the official? [01:40] our project is built on kubuntu, I was referring to our iso, not kubuntus. [01:40] hey, quick question. If I am on my home network and try to ssh to my desktop using ssh fermat, it doesn't work. If I try to ssh 192.168.1.138 it works. investigated a bit, and it says in dd-wrt the hostname is * [01:40] I think this may be getting off topic [01:40] how would I go about fixing that? [01:40] gtmanfred: I would personally just install grub2 instead of grub legacy, but if you want to continue using grub legacy as your primary bootloader you can install grub2 (with no boot sector) via "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mountpoint_of_your_flash_drives_partition /dev/sda --grub-setup=/bin/true". Then load if from grub legacy via "root (hdX,Y); kernel /grub/core.img". [01:41] Jordan_U: I believe he is using syslinux [01:41] grub legacy doesnt even work with remastersys [01:41] awesome [01:41] no i am using grub legacy as the main mbr [01:41] oh [01:41] * L3top should know better than to question Jordan_U [01:42] y [01:42] because you are all shades of clever, and I am a derp. [01:42] L3top: That was actually "/away", I'm not sure why only the 'y' got through :) [01:42] L3top, i dont think you are a derp [01:43] hello [01:44] what does -pae mean on linux kernel packages? [01:44] !pae | clausen [01:44] clausen: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [01:44] It's necessary for the CPU to support it, however. [01:45] Hi. What is the default cipher mode (hopefully AES-XTS, SHA512) setup with the alternate installer using dm-crypt and LVM? Do I have to setup my LVM and dm-crypt by hand to use AES-XTS for full disk encryption? Thanks. [01:45] Daekdroom, thanks [01:45] can anyone give me tips for using unbuntu for first time? [01:45] haylo: this is my psychotic way of making an iso http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/browser/people/l3mce/lmcemaster.sh [01:45] Daekdroom, that link doesn't explain why there are separate packages [01:45] newbie: man [01:46] Daekdroom, is there some disadvantage to PAE-enabled kernels? [01:46] clausen, not every processor out there supports it. [01:46] @newbie - Well you're on IRC that's a start. Do you have your email and web-browser setup? Explore the software center. [01:46] Jordan_U: is that with the grub-install from legacy or grub2? [01:46] Daekdroom, oh, you mean it won't boot? [01:46] From 12.04 LTS and following releases, the PAE kernel will be used by default. [01:46] Yeah. [01:46] L3top, if you keep doing crazy iso things people will make fun of you- it hapened to me. remember a good system can last ten years [01:46] ugh [01:46] Daekdroom, that's surprising! (that one kernel can't support both) [01:47] won't work on my laptop then... it doesn't have PAE on the CPU [01:47] gtmanfred: grub2. [01:47] figured, ok thanks [01:48] gtmanfred: You're welcome. [01:48] Daekdroom, anyway, thanks for the explanation :) [01:48] Now, I have a question. I'm trying to update the default version of java to the java-7-openjdk, but the command fails. [01:49] Jordan_U: really appreciate it :-D [01:49] Our system is designed to be an appliance. This is what creates the daily snapshots after the build. Our iso is designed to be idiot proof... the problem is I am the idiot making it. [01:49] thx nyquist [01:49] In essence, I did this: update-java-alternatives --jre --set java-7-openjdk-i386 and got this: update-java-alternatives: file does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/.java-7-openjdk-i386.jinfo [01:49] i think i have it setup [01:50] Instead, I have this file here: /usr/lib/jvm/.java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386.jinfo [01:50] should I symlink that sucker? [01:50] cp ftw [01:50] mrm. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [01:52] Well, that worked. [01:52] Now, time to relaunch eclipse. [01:52] :) [01:53] This is pretty dumb, but... I installed Gnome 3 and now suddenly flash videos are broken. I'm not really sure how. [01:55] I'm wondering if your browser was calling the gnash plugin instead. [01:55] See what plugins your browser lists... if it's google-chrome, then as that comes with its own flash. [01:55] Viking667: Good point, maybe it still works in Chrome. [01:55] often, about:plugins will tell you what your browser sees. [01:57] * L3top would just apt-get install --reinstall flashpugin-instaler [01:57] aller [01:57] installer* [01:57] yeah [01:57] plugin [01:57] that would do the job, I guess. [01:57] man... [01:57] wow. I missed that one. [01:57] apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer [01:58] I have a netbook and it isn't quite powerful enough to play h.264 at 720p using totem or vlc. What can I do to get around this issue? (I'm considering right now using ffmpeg to convert to something else) [01:59] deadmund: What netbook is it? [01:59] that's probably your best option [01:59] another option is downsize it to your screen res [01:59] upset: You can get a decent boost from jupiter. [01:59] upset: It's also really handy. Adds an hour of battery life when in power saving mode [02:00] which programming language is this line from? exec wish "$0" "$@" [02:01] L3top: Worked! You're awesome. [02:01] looks like bash to me [02:01] maybe zsh [02:01] Ditto [02:01] ciao [02:01] Bye [02:01] list [02:02] upset: acer aspire one. It has an atom processor [02:02] deadmund: Probably the 450, right? [02:02] deadmund: There's also a slight boost you may get from bumping up your ram, but it depends [02:03] apocalypto ita [02:03] deadmund: Mostly jupiter as a safe overclocking tool is helpful [02:03] upset: IDK if it's a 450, lemme look at the model number [02:03] papapino, not here [02:03] upset: you think overclocking will give me enough of a performance boost to play h.264? [02:03] deadmund: Mmm, maybe [02:04] deadmund: It's worth a shot, and you might just keep jupiter even if it doesn't play to your liking. I swear it makes a world of difference.

[02:05] off* [02:05] upset: jupiter isn't in the repos? Link please? [02:05] sorry, I rebooted. does anyone have any suggestions at all? [02:05] deadmund: You can google as well as I can [02:06] deadmund: should be in the webupd8 repositories specifically, though [02:06] gtmanfred, i am more interested in the sole 'wish' portion of the command line, thnks [02:06] So, my second problem. Gnome 3's theming is broken. Changing it manually with dconf-editor does nothing, and extensions neither show in gnome-tweak-tool nor in the appropriate folder. [02:06] upset: thanks [02:07] ReXHaviK: i got it as this http://tcl.sourceforge.net/ [02:07] tl is part of tk or the other way around? [02:07] tcl feeds tk [02:08] gtmanfred, tcl, thanks, thats the missing package, thnks [02:08] mraxilus: not sure if ubuntu uses it, but xrandr --output --off ? === dwon is now known as totallynotdwo === totallynotdwo is now known as totallynotdwon [02:08] tk's like the "gui" bit on top of tcl [02:08] gtmanfred: how do I find my monitor's names? [02:08] mraxilus: just type xrandr [02:08] should say like HDMI-1 VGA-1 or something like that [02:09] iirc [02:09] they could be CRT1/2 too === totallynotdwon is now known as mircea_popescu === mircea_popescu is now known as dwon [02:09] ... at least that's what the Catalyst Xorg driver reports to xrandr. [02:09] gtmanfred: yay it works... now how do I turn it back on? [02:10] mraxilus: xrandr --output --auto [02:10] trying to build latest tuxmath (with network game) on ubunto 10.04 .. is there any easier way? I found a tuxmath ppa for 8.04 but it seems abandoned and doesn't work [02:10] or --mode WidthxHeight [02:10] gtmanfred: would mirror be turned on by default? [02:10] yes it is [02:10] Viking667: probably [02:11] hmm, I would like to load it back as secondary again [02:11] hm. then add --output blah1 --right-of blah0 [02:11] mraxilus: xrandr --output ---of === LUEshi_ is now known as LUEshi [02:11] automate it with an alias in .bashrc [02:11] can anyone tell me what is added advantage of using a AMD64 ubuntu image than the x86 image? [02:11] sudipta, almost none? [02:11] in your case, if the right monitor's the secondary one, it's xrandr --output secondmonitor --right-of firstmonitor [02:12] sudipta: more ram? === jesse__ is now known as Shadowcrit-VM [02:12] gtmanfred, ahh.. pae? ;) [02:12] ? [02:12] pae differs. [02:12] hehe [02:12] pretty sure you get blocked at 4gb of ram with 32bit os [02:12] Isn't pae more for 32-bit CPUs so they can address more than 3Gb? [02:13] Viking667, pretty much [02:13] upset: jupitor is not an overclocking application [02:13] thought so [02:13] yes .. pae lets you address more than 4gb memory in a 32 bit kernel.. [02:13] gtmanfred:i have 2 gb of ram..... [02:13] heh. then you don't need pae. And AMD64 may or may not give you an advantage. [02:13] with that amount of memory, I'd stick to x86 for now. [02:13] sudipta: ok, you asked for the advantages? if you don't have more than 4, then w/e [02:14] getting closer, now my background appears to be misaligned by 2 inches from the bottom [02:14] it's just black [02:14] my feeling is there's not really any overall advantage.. except perhaps if you want to run VM's or something [02:14] hmmm. Modeline needs tweaking. [02:14] gtmanfred:my processors is amd athlon 64 [02:14] it's weird though because the top bar is in the right place [02:14] then use 64bit so you can expand [02:14] mraxilus: you've logged out and logged back in? [02:15] s/expand/&\ your ram/ [02:15] there's not really much reason to avoid 64 bit though.. most of the stuff that used to be a problem with it has been solved for a while now [02:15] :/ the purpose of this was to be able to do it quickly. Do I really have to log out and log in? [02:15] heh. xcept on my system, there's not much point until I upgrade to a CPU _with_ the VT extensions... [02:16] Mine's just a Pentium Dual Core. Not even a Core/2 Duo. [02:16] gtmanfred:but i heard that there is not enough 64 bit application....is that true? [02:16] does anyone know of a good guide to troubleshoot ubuntu performance issues? [02:16] so how about my question? Latest tuxmath with network game as seen on debian.. can I find a backport or ppa of this for ubuntu 10.04 ? [02:16] i don't use ubuntu, but afaik, you can compile most 32 bit applications and run them on 64 bit machines [02:17] sudipta, no thats not true [02:17] joeballz2, thats quite vague. clarify [02:17] !manual | joeballz2 start here [02:17] joeballz2 start here: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[02:18] bazhang, my 11.10 laptop has been running slow.. [02:18] how do i add icons to my desktop === az is now known as Guest74858 [02:18] bazhang:ok,do I really need to expand my ram....though in my case 2 gb is sufficient,a bit slow though [02:19] joeballz2, thats not very descriptive. slow in what way. give some very clear examples. [02:19] dude you medd 4gb to run this well [02:19] For more ram, you can just install a pae kernel .. [02:19] sudipta, your choice [02:19] i have 3gb and its a bit slow [02:19] sorry, where may i upload a picture? [02:19] Guest74858, thats not true [02:19] I'm considering putting /boot (along with swap) on a flush-fitting SD card in my netbook (with lubuntu), since the SSD is so slow.

[02:20] bazhang there's not much on those links related to hunting down resource hogs and finding bottlenecks on your system. [02:20] joeballz2, open a terminal. top [02:20] but yes, bazhang is correct (or right click on the desktop, click "Create new ....") [02:20] why is my computer laggy?

[02:21] bazhang: top is ok.. however there are times my laptop is completely unresponsive when I cant even ctrl +alt f1 to open a terminal [02:22] so many things I have to install just to compile t4k .. I haven't even got to compiling tuxmath yet!! [02:22] joeballz2: wow. That's pretty bad. System load probably spiking up above 10 does that. [02:22] why do yo want to compile tk? there's an ubuntu package for it [02:23] I'm not sure if there's a dependency upon the version, but is tuxmath in the repos? [02:23] i've got the package but i do not how to install them. [02:23] OLD tuxmath is in the repos. I want the network game [02:23] is it a .deb? [02:23] yes [02:23] zcat_: ahh, right. So you need the source. === esm is now known as Guest49310 [02:23] it is [02:23] I already tried installing the debian package.. [02:23] jc-2: use dpkg [02:23] .. even more dependencies [02:24] zcat_: and found it was the old one. Hm. [02:24] i tried but it makes a mistake [02:24] someone make me a ppa please?!! [02:24] i tried with sudo dpkg -i (package name) [02:24] What's a comfortable but spare size for a /boot partition? [02:25] Vermicelli, 500 mb [02:25] i tried with sudo dpkg -i (package name) [02:25] I just feel like I can run alot more apps in windows 7 than in Oneric [02:25] but i shows a mistake [02:25] Vermicelli: I made mine 200Mb, only have to clean out old versions occasionally. [02:25] jc-2: and what's the mistake it shows? [02:25] Hrm. I'm also being told 100 MB is far too much... [02:26] Vermicelli, no thats not enough [02:26] Well, I didn't ask anyone. But I figured that 200Mb would be enough for about four kernel versions. [02:26] Thanks. May have to throw out this idea then. [02:26] For example, on my setup, I have two kernels taking up about 80Mb [02:27] err sorry, three kernels. [02:27] 1ops hi [02:27] Quick question, how do I extract file.zip to /var/www ? "tar -xzf file.zip /var/www" doesn't work. [02:27] is it really just 1 week away until Precise Pangolin is available? [02:27] Wondering if it's worth it to put /boot alogn with /swap on an SD in my netbook, since SSD is slow. [02:27] Only have a 1GB card however.

[02:28] tsimpson: That's what I thought, thx. [02:29] There oughter be a script somewhere that checks to see if old kernels are filling up /boot. That wouldn't be that hard via crontab, right?

[02:31] ugh. [02:31] if I was on debian I would have the latest version ov tuxmath that I want from the repos [02:32] but debian doesn't like half the machines here .. goes to seel on idle and won't wake up again [02:32] *sleep [02:32] zcat_, is that a yes? [02:32] otherwise I would have switched them to debian a long time ago [02:32] bazhang, I am trying to compile tuxmath from source [02:32] I already tried to install the debian packages for it. [02:33] .. which dometimes works in ubuntu [02:33] zcat_: you can try 'apt-get build-dep ' [02:33] Steve where are you [02:33] ? [02:34] I don't think the build deps for the older tuxmath are the same, but that might help.. [02:34] and there's no t4k at all in ubuntu 10.04 so [02:34] zcat_: at the very least it will shorten the list of packages you need to locate and install. :) [02:34] how do i put icons to my desktop [02:35] i click and drag [02:35] Guest74858, I just told you [02:35] and i not move [02:35] next question; will I be able to move this to 9 other computers withput going through the same process on every one? [02:36] aparently your method is not applicable on my PC [02:36] i did exactly what you said [02:36] 10 computers set up for teaching .. I want the kids to be able to play a network game of tuxmath [02:36] zcat_: check out 'checkinstall' [02:37] ok, finally got t4k to ./configure without problems [02:37] !info checkinstall [02:37] checkinstall (source: checkinstall): installation tracker.

[02:39] k [02:39] my GUI is slow [02:40] i don't know how to add icons to my desktop === ts_ is now known as Guest80369 [02:42] IaOra, I would like to say thanks for all those who helped me this morning with my hash file corruption problem, The ISP for French Polynesia admitted to me today that the problem was being caused by them and had been happening for about a month, they claim that it will be repaired tonite.. I had never seen this problem before and as my computer had been down just before this incident started and I reinstalled knowing nothing of the p [02:42] roblem and Mana did not notify anyone by email [02:43] Guest74858: open a folder in Nautilus, find item you want on desktop, hold ctrl-shift and drag drop item to desktop. this will create a link. If you drag drop without holding a key, you will either move or copy, depending on if the item is on the same filesystem or not. [02:43] Installing Microsoft office 2010 on xubuntu [02:44] what is Nautilus [02:44] Guest74858: to explisetly move, hold shift. To explicetly copy, hold ctrl. [02:44] ? [02:44] Guest74858: your file manager [02:44] yay, looks like it's building finally [02:44] Guest74858: it's a little folder looking icon [02:45] i don't see nautilus [02:45] i only see dash home [02:45] zcat_: checkinstall will build a .deb for you for the other machines. Or like you said you can script it. [02:45] Guest74858: you ever use a computer before today? [02:46] Does anyone on this channel have office 2010 on there ubuntu [02:46] haz3lnut, can you add icons to your desktop if using 11.10 and unity? [02:46] where exactly is nautilus [02:46] Guest74858: folders, filemanagers? [02:46] naughty lust [02:46] RyoRonin: yes [02:46] haz3lnut, but not without adding additional installs correct [02:47] wylde, hardest part is all the dependencies, which I now have. apt-get install -y *-dev ; tar x ; ./configure ; make ; make install [02:47] RyoRonin: why? [02:47] zcat_: alrighty. [02:47] haz3lnut, because 11.10 does not have it by default [02:48] haz3lnut, in fact it was taken out with the new shell [02:48] RyoRonin: have what? a desktop? I didn't install anything extra, but I upgraded. not new install. [02:49] haz3lnut, mine was a new install. so for me by default it wasn't available.. but thanks for your info [02:49] Ryo, I think that is the main reason that I stayed back with 10.04.4 LTS There are too many new changes to the new stuff........ [02:49] y'all are head tripping [02:50] !nounity [02:50] 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 [02:50] maheanuu, I agree. But new installation for the new goodies.. I have 10.04 running server not workstation [02:51] Just drag drop, no need to install anything. I got pangolin in a vbox, never installed anything new, it's a drag drop icon on desktop. What "extra" would you install? [02:52] haz3lnut, sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-panel [02:52] Can someone tell me what is the name of the top-right "power button" menu on the menu bar in ubuntu classic desktop? [02:52] RyoRonin: and what will that do for you? [02:52] Ryo, I have been in digital since the 60's and am a ret. navy chief ET and ex Sperry Univac Field Engineer "CETA". My problem is age and retention is not as good as when I was a couple of decades ago [02:53] haz3lnut, add the ability to do the gnome functions to create the desktop launchers [02:53] maheanuu, so true [02:53] I just don't play well, anymore, I still work at keepin up and trying to learn, and I switched about a year ago cold turkey from WinBloze [02:54] tuxmath: error while loading shared libraries: libt4k_common.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [02:54] RyoRonin: I never had to do that.

[02:55] make install ought to do that [02:55] We had an old saying in the Navy, "Experience Gained is Equal To The Cube of Equipment Destroyed" I have really found this to be a natural law or sumpin [02:55] which file in /etc/init.d is the one that will get ran at every boot time? i put a bash script in there and cant remember which one it is. [02:56] RyoRonin: I run Ubuntu 11.10 at home and at work. I haven;t seen behavior you are talking about. [02:56] You Good!!! Where are you? [02:56] is there something I run to reindex libraries?

I truly would like to talk [02:57] ok, they're installed in /usr/local/lib .. should they be somewhere else? [02:57] haz3lnut, yeah I have 2 laptops with 11.10 and Unity as the shell, and they both won't allow me to create the icons, oh well no bigs... thanks again for the info [02:58] which file in /etc/init.d is the one that will get ran at every boot time? i put a bash script in there and cant remember which one it is. [02:59] Jordan_U: hmm, i must be doing something wrong, do i need to do that command from within an ubuntu install? [02:59] right now, it is just hanging while loading the core.img [03:00] or how to search all the files in a current directory to find a given text, would work too. [03:00] hmm, ok moving them to /usr/lib worked ;) [03:02] zcat_: so could have adding /usr/local/lib to ldd's search path. [03:02] err, not ldd.... whatever the tool is that rebuilds the ld.so cache [03:02] oh .. how do you do that? [03:02] yeah, ok. my way works ;) [03:02] wish I knew. I haven't done it since the early 2k [03:02] steed22: grep -i "some text" /etc/init.d/* [03:02] is setting up a dhcp3 server internal network hard [03:02] check ldconfig [03:03] zcat_: that was for you, by the way.

[04:00] yeah, fceu in the 10.04 repo [04:01] extraclassic, some question about it? [04:01] to play a game fullscreen you have to enable opengl, but when i do that it's playing the game too fast....disabling it will allow me to play normal speed but it won't go fullscreen that way [04:02] extraclassic, sounds like a bug; consider filing one?

I just performed a fresh install of 11.10, and noticed that certain "narrow" fonts which are installed on the system are not showing up in font-chooser dialogs (e.g. in Terminal preferences, or Firefox preferences). E.g. I can't set Firefox default font to bitstream vera sans narrow because it doesn't show up in the dialog ... despite the fact that it IS installed. [04:12] XiRoN: interesting... I thought I'd seen that before. [04:12] I've fixed this before on another system, something involving my font config file was required, but I seem to have lost my old bookmark about it, and have had no luck searching for info on this problem. It's a known issue but the keywords are just a little too common apparently. [04:12] Fyodorovna: It appears they don't have 12.04 available for that. I know it isn't released yet, but it's beta 2 now so should be useable. I found a link for a 12.04 core system but don't see any specific info about whether it's for 64 bit sytems or if it can install to an efi system (an efi installation). Any ideas? [04:12] XiRoN: do you have a devpts in your list of mounts? [04:13] Viking667: I'm new to linux, what does that mean. [04:13] Is there a way to do it from the standard install cd, or I would have to go in an remove the desktop environment after install if I installed that way? [04:13] bring up a Terminal, type "mount" into it. [04:13] You'll get a list of things, one of which SHOULD say this: [04:13] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620) [04:14] YohanMeister, efi I would not know myself how but I believe if needed can be done. [04:14] Of course, it might not be relevant to your problem, but I suspect it is. [04:14] hm. It's done on automatic on my system, so it never appears in my /etc/fstab [04:15] I see. I wonder what desktop they are using in 12.04 and how much of a challenge it would be to remove it? [04:15] are they even still using x as a backend? [04:15] They'd BETTER be, or my wife's going to be an unhappy puppy. === Rez is now known as LoRez [04:19] i saw that tomboy is "no longer supported by canonical" (ie moved into universe), is there any other app that is preferred over tomboy now? === soreau_ is now known as soreau [04:21] that's that notetaker, isn't it?

On Ubuntu 11.10, FF's font preference dialogs don't show DejaVu Sans Condensed -- or any other narrow or condensed font -- though they are definitely installed in my system. A web search indicates it's been an unsolved problem for years with all non-GTK apps. I'm merely looking for a manual config edit fix that I could perform, and can't even find info on that. [04:55] So there isnt an easy way to upgrade flash??? All my browsers are giving errors..it happened out of nowhere [04:55] saying I need to upgrade [04:55] and the instructions are freaking insane [04:56] isnt there an alternative flash?

[04:57] ThadiusB: nope. [04:57] would ndiswrapper be an alternative, using same drivers but for xp? [04:57] its just saying I need to upgrade [04:58] ThadiusB: I honestly don't know, I've never had to use it. [04:58] Would upgrading to the Beta release fix this? [04:58] thanks wylde, i finally found my drivers for 10.04 but its .patch and i have no idea how to apply that [04:59] ThadiusB: you'll nedd the source of the driver and your patch file. Instructions SHOULD be on the site you got the patch from. [05:00] @wylde, I dont think they were to concerned with apply the patch, i was lucky i got the .patch at all, its for a pci-e parallel port, not in the highest demand [05:00] applying* [05:01] ThadiusB: what exactly are you wanting to install? [05:01] i have a StarTech pci-e parallel card, Oxford chipset, and it lists it, but i'm not getting anything out from it. [05:01] ThadiusB: by the sound of the device that may very well be a kernel patch. Lots can go wrong with kernel compiles and it's definately not recommended to do on ubuntu, if I recall correctly. [05:02] ThadiusB: hmmm, doesn't sound like a popular piece of equipment, otherwise I suggest looking at compatability with newer ubuntu kernels. [05:03] wylde: worst that could happen is i'd have to reinstall aye? [05:03] I *desperately* want to use DejaVu Sans Condensed as my default sans font in Firefox, and it refuses to recognize that this font is installed. [05:03] its not popular, i need it to connect my computer to my cnc machine [05:03] Hi all. Why libhid package is not available in ubuntu11.10? [05:03] It's pretty much the only comfortably readable font I can find that won't waste so much horizontal space. [05:03] ThadiusB: yeah, well at least repair GRUB, it wants to set the newest kernel as default [05:04] my knowledge base of ubuntu is extremely limited [05:04] so i have no idea what to do [05:04] i also am in need of help [05:05] is there nothing i can do with the .patch file they gave me on their drivers page?

[05:06] and the next step says i have to create a usb drive [05:06] ThadiusB: not that I know of, but that's far from definitive. heh. You could keep asking in here, and have you hit up the forums or askubuntu? [05:07] but i pluggeed in my usb stick and its icon popped up on the desktop [05:07] do i still need to 'create' a usb drive? [05:07] first place i thought i'd start wylde, since i'm sitting here looking at 3k worth of equipment and realizing software is holding me up [05:07] havent been to the forums or askubuntu yet [05:07] vicky_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/937859/ <--- I believe some of those packages will provide that lib. [05:08] ShadowFios : No u don't need to create another [05:08] thank twas6263 [05:09] ThadiusB: so the company that provides the equipment only provides a patch for their driver?

Best I can think of, we're pushing my knowledge here too. :) [05:11] well i greatly appreciate all you could offer wylde [05:11] vicky_: that is a list of packages that supply the libhid.a library you asked about. [05:11] got some friends in our cnc channel looking at it too [05:11] how to install it through apt-get ? [05:12] vicky_: yes 'apt-get install whichever-file-suits-your-arch' [05:13] vicky_: handy tool for finding libs is apt-file :) [05:13] !info apt-file [05:13] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface).

[05:14] vicky_: yes because it's a library that's part of another package. There is no package that's just libhid [05:15] but it was availabe with 10.04 [05:15] hey wylde, i think i might have found the problem if you could give me a lil help [05:16] ThadiusB: if I can, sure [05:17] the post i read says that the program i want to use with the parallel port needs to unload linux kernal module paraport_pc [05:17] how do I make the window smaller in ~/.vnc/xstartup ? [05:17] ThadiusB: ahh ok, so you need to u nload that module and blacklist it. [05:17] changing "xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10" doesnt change anything [05:18] wylde: heres the article with exactly what i have going on........ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8829820/finding-memory-address-of-a-parallel-port-on-linux [05:18] if you dont mind could you look over it, brb [05:18] ThadiusB: sure [05:19] ty wylde, and back [05:20] hello!

[05:59] !ot | MrBushido [05:59] MrBushido: #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! [06:00] MrBushido: channels like #c++ or others may be more helpful for that. [06:00] Yo. Im not trying to be dick or anything, but Im super new to IRC [06:00] sadly not, hence my hope that the popularity of this channel might assist me [06:00] Would a bad graphics card cause X to freeze (sometimes taking the kernel with it) ? Just lock up no glitching untill I force a reset. [06:00] Is this the right place to ask questions? [06:01] brien Yes it is. [06:01] Num83rGuy: is it on a netbook? [06:01] Thanks Num83rGuy [06:01] No Desktop lotuspsychje === Goku is now known as El [06:01] bmonkj, also just tested mogrify and that appears to work fine [06:01] brien, how can we help you? [06:01] Well Im not exactly new to Linux, but I am new to IRC [06:02] Num83rGuy: i had similar freeze on a netbook, i had to enable 'network boot' in bios to fix [06:02] What's the purpose of this chatroom? [06:02] It has done this across two versions 11.10, 12.04 [06:02] (is that what's it's called? chatroom?) [06:03] brien, `/topic` [06:03] What does that mean, onoz_omg? [06:03] blah [06:03] Alright [06:03] lotuspsychje: So it might be the ACPI or power management whatever it is. [06:03] I understand now sorry dude [06:04] I will have to give that another try. [06:04] So what do you guys do when the cpu of your laptop doesn't support hardware frequency scaling? [06:05] Because I have an Atom 330 and it's a BITCH [06:05] !language | brien [06:05] brien: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [06:05] Num83rGuy: whats Os did come default on your desktop? [06:05] woah okay [06:05] sorry [06:05] I'll keep it PG [06:05] brien: thanks :) [06:05] Sorry man I'm just new with this whole IRC thing [06:05] WTF, why doesn't Alt+F2 work, and why is "show the run command prompt" greyed out in Keyboard settings! [06:06] I'm a 4chan resident :c [06:06] redact3d, I can't help you then, I'm sure its working under normal circumstances, I would ask you to try a from a natted computer as the script was intended [06:06] lotuspsychje: None :) all home built. Just the way I like it. [06:06] all good, keep in mind this is the support channel, general chat is over in #ubuntu-offtopic :) [06:06] but really, language aside, does anyone have a solution to the lack of hardware scaling in Intel Atom 330 cpus? [06:06] Num83rGuy: would be interesting to mess with BIOS a bit, maybe u can solve [06:07] or looking at logs [06:07] bmonkj, just setting up an lts vm to go from fresh in case my existing apache conf is breaking it.. cheers for you help! [06:08] redact3d, one more thing, do you have localhost in your /etc/squid/squid.conf? [06:08] No tips? I'm using an Asus 1201n eeePC [06:08] lotuspsychje: As much as I hate it you are probably right. Might as well turn off everything non-essential when my new graphics card comes in Tuesday. [06:08] it's a huge pain that it wont scale the cpu freqs [06:08] brien, i suspect there is none [06:08] get super hot [06:08] thanks for the input onoez [06:09] np =) [06:09] bmonkj, yeah and localnet. as i said i can get out through the proxy it just doesn't store images for some reason [06:09] lotuspsychje: Thanks. Some times bouncing ideas helps me think things out. [06:09] How should I proceed? Windows isn't an option [06:10] brien: tits or gtfo [06:10] Why do you think I have tits :c? [06:10] brien, imho choosing atom is a bad idea in almost all cases, there were times when ppl were looking carefully at hardware specs looking for future linux instance running on it [06:10] Yeah I think you're right, onoez [06:11] It's a shame. I have this hardware regardless of choice [06:11] It would be nice to find a distro that could make decent use of it [06:11] there is always a choice [06:11] Yeah there's a choice. [06:12] I could make this viable machine into landfill fodder [06:12] or I could find some sort of solution to this dumb problem. [06:12] See what I'm saying? [06:12] i know a guy whos using eee 900 as a router with 1+ year uptime [06:12] Hmm === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:13] alright, router is an option [06:13] Anything really is a option === louis_ is now known as Tianhong-wang [06:13] execpt trash or windows [06:13] why did asus make these terrible eeepc machines? [06:14] as for me, there were two nice machines 900 and 901 [06:15] I haven't had the pleasure of using those two, onoez [06:15] Alright, Quick question; why are some names in different colors? [06:15] I noticed it already with slikts and onez_omg, but only sometimes [06:16] Is it a personal message? meant only for me and invisible to others? [06:17] Come on you guys [06:17] simple question [06:17] I don't understand this xchat... [06:17] brien: gb2/4chan [06:17] I'm using irssi, and sometimes your names are yllow instead of white [06:17] because we mention your handle, fool [06:18] Alright mang. Thanks for the awesome community and outstreched welcoming arms [06:18] I love linux [06:18] But really. Thanks for answering my question. [06:19] @Jaye_Falcon, what do you mean? What are you unsure of? [06:19] brien: no welcome [06:19] What are you doing here slikts? [06:19] I'm real curious [06:20] I'm the head of HR [06:20] If you want to be a pointless pendant why aren't you trolling the arch forums? [06:20] noobs need to be combated everywhere [06:20] How to join the Actually server I want to [06:20] You tell me to gb24chan but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about [06:21] yes, I have no idea what you're talking about [06:21] #openbrd [06:21] Yeah I'm an irc noob but I know better to act big on a mother crunching ubuntu forum [06:22] @Jaye_Falcon, type either "/j [#channel]" or "/join [#channel]" without the brackets. [06:22] Anyway. [06:22] brien: I thought people from 4chan knew trolling [06:22] u can try to tell the same cool story at #slackware for example, just an option for ur personal etertaining [06:22] No, I need to get to coldfront. [06:22] It's irc.coldfront.net [06:23] You were decent enough to answer my question before. Maybe, slikts, you can tell me how to block you on irc? [06:23] I see. go to xchat at the top and choose network list. [06:23] brien: /ignore slikts [06:23] yo thanks [06:23] no welcome [06:23] I wont actually ignore you, but when real jerks appear I know how. [06:23] "no thanks" [06:24] I type in irc.coldfront.net but and click connect, but it isn't going through... [06:25] check [06:25] check? [06:25] be sure to hit enter. That first screen you get is the name of the network, you'll want to click edit to put the address in. [06:25] ping [06:25] pong [06:26] can i ask something sir [06:26] ?? [06:26] Go ahead [06:26] Its better than waiting in silence to recieve an answer for no reason [06:27] It works! [06:27] It does [06:27] What is everyone's favorite food? [06:27] Thank you, very much. [06:27] awesome, I'm glad. :) [06:27] Hi guys, accidentally did sudo chmod 777 / [06:27] Have fun! [06:27] it yelled privs open and so one [06:27] TELL ME YOUR FAVORITE FOOD [06:27] tried to do chmod 755 [06:27] i like risotto!!!! [06:27] hello~ [06:27] locked the whole pc down :D [06:28] <--- utterly defeated lol [06:28] Risotto [06:28] is good [06:28] Hi all [06:28] yes [06:28] What would be the correct chmod to the whole system folder ? [06:28] Best food: white anchovies [06:28] chmod [06:28] 有人说话吗？ [06:28] correct chmod +anchovies [06:28] never had them?? [06:28] @Zenger, have you tried Googling the fix? [06:28] Yes [06:28] jesfre: now I'm a moron. [06:28] bocerones [06:29] jesfre: I'm in a search just now , but tried to ask you guys too [06:29] how to reduce the width of the slide panel of gedit under ubuntu12.04 [06:30] @zenger, it's all good. we all make mistakes at times. For me, it was thinking VMing Ubuntu on a 7 year old Max was a great idea. [06:30] Mac* [06:30] sir i want to asking about how upgrade os from 11.10 to 12.04 [06:30] Who are the admins of this ircthing? [06:30] how to reduce the width of the slide panel of gedit under ubuntu12.04 [06:30] balckr00tsys, has the upgrade too not work for you? [06:30] lol i am not sure but i know if your being an idiot you will get kicked [06:31] @Brien, no idea. [06:31] jesfre: Still , google doesn't seem to help me a lot , in fact besides "chomd 777 chmod" I have no ideea what to search for :D [06:31] hookem: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installseparatehome [06:31] blackroot, tell me, what have you tried? [06:31] @blackr00tsys, give me a moment, let me try and find an answer. [06:32] ok @jesfre [06:32] I have had no problems with the update-manager to upgrade ubuntu versions [06:32] maybe I'm just lucky [06:32] how to reduce the width of the slide panel of gedit under ubuntu12.04 [06:32] @zenger, I've got no idea, either. :( I'll try and help, though. [06:33] @blackr00tsys, try this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2 [06:33] leo_: not trying to be a jerk, but have you tried gVim instead? [06:33] The first paragraph should point you in the right direction. [06:33] gedit is pretty bad [06:33] No, i'll try it,thanks [06:34] It's a totally different editor [06:34] but it's really nice once you get used to it [06:34] plus, it's available in console form everywhere, called "vim" [06:35] ssh into some random linux server, vim will be available [06:35] if you are used to it, you will ve right at home [06:35] mr admin i will ask about my playonlinux [06:35] Im not an admin [06:35] who are you talking to? [06:35] Hello. Please help me with resolv.conf - it becomes empty after boot. I've specified dns-nameservers in the /etc/network/interfaces. After ifdown eth0/ifup eth0 resolv.conf become normal, but why it is empty right after boot? My ubuntu bersion is 11.10. Network manager is not installed. [06:35] btw as I'm here, suggest me a good text-editor with small IDE capabilities, mainly for PHP, js , css and sometimes C++ (i'm ok compiling by console , i'm look just syntax and tips) . I want to stay out of VIM, EMACS, Eclipse (or any other heavy IDE (I USE already phpStorm)) .What are the options (besides KOMODO/Geany/Kate/Gedit/jEdit/Bluefish) [06:36] Besides what you listed, Zenger? [06:36] @brien my play on linux its not working correctly...how to fix it ? [06:36] @zenger, are you able to get into your files, but they have full permissions? [06:36] is there anything really left. Geany is the best option, but you ruled it out [06:37] @black. Sorry dude I dont use playonlinux [06:37] that's a wine layer, right? [06:37] okay... [06:37] I know a little about it [06:37] Just let us know what's wrong [06:37] brien: yep [06:37] for game only i want try game counter strikes like on win**** [06:38] Zenger: Codelite [06:38] jesfre: I'm not sure [06:38] jesfre: I gave 777 to whole / [06:38] Zenger: sorry my friend but you ruled out some of the best editors. [06:38] jesfre: the I gave it 755 / [06:38] hello [06:38] brien: I adore geany, but it doesn't have a tag matching system [06:38] i am trying to update an acient ubuntu 8 [06:39] @Zenger, uhhh.... I have no idea. :x [06:39] Zenger: kdevelop das php and c++ pretty well. [06:39] to ubuntu 11 on a flah drive [06:39] Rud: Ubuntu (XFCE) , will it blend ? [06:39] Zenger: I'm not a super experienced geany user, but are you sure there's no extension or something for it? if not, have you looked into vim again? [06:39] Zenger: "blend"? [06:40] @zenger, I know 777 changes the permissions of the file file to read, write, and execute for all. [06:40] i have rebooted multiple times but the prompt ubuntu describes dosent appear [06:40] i have even done the f12 boot option set to usb [06:40] Rud: I mean will it work on XFCE ? It will pull the whole KDE stuff by itself? because I assume K stands for KDE [06:40] still runs ubuntu 8 [06:40] hi, I asked this a while ago but had to leave before I could understand the answer... how can I upgrade mono from 2.4.4 to 2.10 on ubuntu 10.4 please?? [06:40] Zenger: yes, it uses "kde stuff" [06:40] Zenger: not to pry, but dude, really? Why shy away from vim/emacs? [06:41] brien: I'm not into vim, I can't force myself learn the whole binds and it drives me crazy. [06:41] are there known issues on lubuntu crashing adobe flash recently? [06:41] Rud: Gonna check it out. [06:41] what can i do to update [06:41] jesfre: yes, but then the pc yells at me , because I have writing privs. It drives me nuts [06:42] rogst: Codelite doesn't seem to have a PHP syntax support. [06:42] Zenger: more lightweight, but only covering your C++ needs would be qt creator. that does not depend on "kde stuff" [06:42] @zenger: Oh man, that stinks. Sorry, man I don't know permissions that well. Yet. [06:42] sir [06:42] :Zengrer fair enough. You're gonna hear this more than once, and you probably heard it enough already... However: If you spend a lot of time crankin code into the ol lighnin box, ya should learn a proper way of doin it. [06:43] Zenger: Seriously. A few hours of learnin will save ya years of headaches [06:43] has anyone had experience updating ubuntu 8 to 11 [06:43] jesfre: I assume I'd have to bash to 777 and then just use the default user as root. I don't want to install because I have some data that is located on the same drive as ubuntu and on formating I would loose everything ( [06:43] anyone knows how can i output csv in utf-8 encoding with `soffice --convert-to` command? [06:43] @zenger: sad day [06:44] brien: handling large c++ project, perhaps without fully knowing the code base, is a pain without a proper code model in the back [06:44] brien: Show me the best tutorial you can give me. That will save my ass when working with vim. I've tried vim not 1, not 2 , but hell of a lot times. And it never helped. [06:45] hello? [06:45] Rud: I would use QT only when I need the qt library, unfortunately QT doesn't have nor color themes nor php support (from which my job depends) :D [06:45] the problem is `soffice --convert-to csv` loses all international characters. [06:45] :Rud that can be accomplished without ecplipse or codeblocks or whatever [06:45] brien: vim + clang for code completion is not bad for editing, but not exactly for "project" handling [06:45] meep [06:46] brien: "real" code models [06:46] Rud: That's the whole point, I don't quite seek for a project oriented IDE [06:46] Rud: Not trying to step on any toes here, but I have worked in "real" project before. [06:46] Rud: for that I use phpStorm and CDT for C++ [06:46] Zenger: if you want to edit text files, vim and emacs is fine [06:47] Rud: Zenger: that's exactly what he wants to do [06:47] What do you think coding is? [06:47] where one go to get help on updating os version [06:47] Rud: no they are not, I'm used with gui tools and I'm not comfortable with them. I'm trying to learn them , but nobody seems to have a clue where to start properly except the readme of vim :D [06:47] brien: it's not just typing code, it's also understanding the code, getting the context, debugging, deploying [06:47] Rud: I got to mention thou, Kdevelop seems preatty neat. [06:48] Zenger: Sorry for not having a proper answer for you. A lot of learning a text editor like vim or emacs takes experiences [06:48] brien: besides , does vim has support for xdebug (for php) ? [06:48] brien: now you understand why there are so many people who can't learn vim [06:49] Zenger: however, as one who has had experience with both, I don't really reccommend emacs. Vim may have a learning curve, but it easy. [06:49] brien: I would be delighted to learn vim and use it the way you describe it to be. But the plain readme and some stupid youtube videos won't help me. [06:49] Anyone know where I could go for some information on PHP? [06:49] ApocGoD: maybe #php? [06:49] zenger you can use "e" text editor but you should compile it [06:49] Zenger: Sorry I've never had to code php professionally [06:50] hello guys!. who eats more resources unity or unity 2d? [06:50] ApocGod: php.net [06:50] brien: what for do you use vim then ? [06:50] Thanks. [06:50] When ever I boot with usb mouse pluged in it takes like a 3 min ubuntu to load.If I boot with no usb plugged in then the boot time is fast.Why this is happening? [06:51] Zenger: I work for garmin, intl. the department I work for uses git and C++ [06:51] moonman: hm , good ideea, I could try that . thank you [06:51] vim is quite nice for tiat [06:51] vim is for gits [06:51] just kidding, I use it [06:51] yay slikts is back [06:51] therefore it can't be for gits [06:51] brien: eclipse is java at heart. it's super slow for c++, and the code model takes ages to build and is not kept up-to-date as-you-type. it "works", but... [06:51] erkon: it might help so reconfigure your boot process - i assume it currently does not show details but just the ubuntu logo right? [06:52] Rud: eclipse is used a lot at my work, too. Even for purely C projects. [06:52] Rud: I don't do heavy C++ projects, I'm on a simple learing curve, I don't do makefiles or heavy project handling [06:52] Rud: I dont know why, but there it is. [06:52] Rud: I just need code completion a simple project managament, and the compiling I do by console. [06:52] no I see black screen with a cursor in the left top until the logo screen comes up [06:53] Zenger: I dont know about php, but for sure vim has C++ code completion [06:53] The same is happening with other linux os for example.with slitaz I can see what is loading and the boot stops and hangs for a long time when it loads usb ohci driver [06:53] brien: it has for PHP I told you I tried to learn it [06:54] Zenger: sorry I wasnt being attentive eough [06:54] Zenger: what was the main problem with learning it? [06:54] jesfre: I'm in a lot of pain now :( , now somehow I've managed to do 766 to the chmod binary , now it won't change the priveleges at all :( I'm screwed :D [06:54] brien: Were can I start properly learning vim. [06:54] Zenger: Even if your answer doesnt help you, it can help point out problems others are having [06:55] Zenger: Dude! What are you trying to do? What did you hyst tell jesfre? [06:55] netbeans is nicer than eclipse [06:56] moonman: but doesn't E cost 50 bucks ? :D [06:56] slikts: I hate both of them :D [06:56] Zenger: what do you like then? [06:56] slikts: phpStorm [06:56] lol [06:56] gtfo [06:56] Zenger: Not trying to be a dick, but really, what is hard about vim? Just take a couple hours and learn the keybindings [06:57] The learning curve is a square wave [06:57] brien: okay, is there any helpful tutorial you would suggest besides readme.txt ? [06:57] @zenger: That's no good. [06:58] @zenger: Can you change permissions on individual files? [06:58] Zenger: alright, ya got me, been trying to find a decent intro to vim, can't do it [06:58] jesfre: 1 moment gonna check that. [06:58] Zenger: im assuming complete incompetence [06:59] Zenger: again, not tryint to be a dick [06:59] sooo anybody on that can give a little advice about updating mono?? [06:59] @zenger: If you can, you can get your files to a different box or file system, and reset everything. [06:59] Zenger: Have you ever heard of Vimperator? Its a firefox extension [06:59] @Camc: I have no experience in mono, sorry. :( [06:59] brien: yep, thats what I thought. same here, for many years I'm hearing you guys telling me : "Vim is great, epic , try it" but when I open it , i'm messed up in visual and normal and "j" "h" "k" keybinds and so on. Tried doing readme. Forogot everything in a few days. :) [07:00] thanks anyway jesfre anybody else?? [07:01] brien: no, and looking by the screenshots I don't think I want it :D [07:01] so far I have found Badgerports, and need to know how to add it as a repository [07:02] via putty shell [07:02] jesfre: god I hate doing reinstall :( , but I'm gonna have to do it :( [07:02] CamC: PuTTY "shell" is no different from a standard SSH session, last I checked. What's Badgerports, some other repository you're trying to add to your system? [07:03] yes it is the repository that holds the version that I need, and the directions there only explain from graphic user point [07:04] http://badgerports.org/ === LUEshi_ is now known as LUEshi [07:05] I have found the sources folder /etc/apt/sources.list [07:05] yo [07:05] cant find the exact command to add the source [07:06] lost connex [07:06] besides I'm still stuck to the same no Idea what text-editor to try :D (besides learning vim) :D [07:06] installed new thunderbird from mozilla site, but can't seem to get it to use the default browser. what gives? tried the network.handler thing (doesn't exist) [07:07] Zenger: sorry for being such a zealot [07:07] Zenger: gedit or nano [07:07] ok can anyone help me install minecraft on ubuntu 12.04 [07:08] zenger: the truth of the matter is that altough there might not be any super easy way to get nice an cozy with vim, it really does pay off, [07:08] nano looks good [07:08] ok can anyone help me install minecraft on ubuntu 12.04? [07:08] tshelton1232: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 things - while i have no idea about minecraft itself & the install instructions [07:08] zenger: if you have no long-term relationship with coding in linux, then forget about vim or emacs, and yeah, gedit is good enough. [07:08] how can I connect to a Mac VNC server? all the clients I found in the repositories fail... [07:08] lotuspsychje: it's very simple to learn -- never could master vi or vim -- I am a weakling I guess [07:09] ojii: sure you enabled vnc support inside the remote-desktop settings of your osx host? [07:09] brien: I got that, the problem is how to get there. Besides , if moving to a windows machine, gVim won't do the job ? [07:09] otherwise it will fail for sure - always ;) [07:09] Blue11: not all ubuntu users are hardonn cli [07:09] fidel, yes, other mac users can connect [07:09] gVim is good [07:09] fidel, from ubuntu: no luck [07:09] ojii: macs dont use vnc itself [07:09] fidel, o.O? [07:09] lotuspsychje: huh? [07:09] gVim is available as a standolone exe install in windows, I believe. [07:09] there is a special option for vnc support inside the remote desktop settings [07:09] Blue11: im more an ubuntu candy user [07:10] lotuspsychje: ahh [07:10] Blue11: gedit would be nice if it would have code completion and CTRL + Y working (it won't do forward) :D [07:10] Blue11: many swear by the command line (the hard way) [07:10] What is C+Y? [07:10] lotuspsychje: oh no I use nano regularly -- you mean x forwarding? [07:10] fidel, most clients say they fail because of authentication method not being supported [07:11] Blue11: i mean not all users work with only commandline, i prefer handy tools [07:11] ojii: have you checkeD: VNC viewer may control screen with password ? [07:11] otherwise it will not work [07:11] thats a setting on your mac [07:11] lotuspsychje: ahh I use mostly commandline [07:11] i stop repeating myself now ;) [07:11] fidel, okay [07:12] anyone have any idea on what I can try to get thunderbird to use the default browser? [07:12] Blue11: but also u like gui stuff? [07:12] sometimes I just want to kill everything and put windows, just like that :D It wasn't the best but it did the job :D [07:12] Zenger: I'll try to answer your main question: No it is not possible to read one tutorial and be completely proficent with Vim. Maybe the learning curve is a bit more gradual than I first said [07:12] lotuspsychje: priv. message ok? [07:12] sure [07:12] Zenger: However, if you can learn the basics (and anyone can) then they gradually lead to more advanced use [07:12] ojii: sys-prefs - sharing -remote management - computer settings [07:13] brien: maybe maybe. [07:13] fidel, a mac user claims it's enabled [07:13] Zenger: because they are all based on the same basic ideas of use [07:13] The problem is at the moment I can't give some of my time to learn vim , I just can't, maybe in a few days I will [07:14] Zenger: maybe it's not worth your while. I dont know. but my time with vim has made editting with it second nature. I use a firefox extension to make mybrowsing more like vim [07:15] brien: I would like to have that same knowledge of vim so it would make my editing seconds. [07:15] Zenger: and I'm not alone. It's hard to describe how nice it feels to never move your fingers from the keyboard, and rarely away from homerow. But it's worth it. [07:15] fidel, ah, gtkvncviewer actually can connect! [07:15] brien: you are not the first one to mention vim, and not the first one to mention vim and php, those who know vim always cheer it [07:15] fidel, but it only shows part of the screen. the mac has 4 displays attached, i can only see one [07:16] brien: I hope I will make some good use from vim [07:16] Zenger: Im sorry I couldnt find a better resource for you to learn it. It may just take some time. [07:17] brien: ye.. one more question, but why did you throw emacs so fast? [07:17] people seem to like it and besides if far mor older than vim [07:17] it's* far more* [07:18] Zenger: it's personal opinion. [07:18] brien: oh, okay [07:18] Zenger: nobody who likes vim touches emacs, and vice versa.... [07:18] Zenger: emacs is fine, I've tried it, but really, it gets harder the more you learn it [07:19] Zenger: that rule must have been there before computers had been invented [07:19] Rud: I kind of suspected this trend :D [07:19] Zenger: vim is more universial, and frankly, easier, while still being quite powerful. [07:20] ro [07:20] anyone ever encounter this when generating a csr [07:20] http://pastie.textmate.org/private/wl6gh6on5zz00n9b4hhkq [07:20] Can I list somehow the current kernel configuration on a default ubuntu-server install ? [07:20] I need to see if some options are enabled [07:20] Rud, Zenger: I know it's a holy war or whatever, but in complete honesty, unless you are super hardcore and want to write a bunch of Lisp, Vim > Emacs [07:20] can i extract a tar without destroying the original and extracting the files into the current folder ? [07:21] Zenger: both vim's direct predecessor (vi) and emacs are from 1976 or so. vi followed ed which is even older [07:21] guys, there's going to be pros and cons about each editor, and there isn't a perfect one for everyone, because we are all different. :) [07:21] No! jesfre! NOOOO! [07:22] brien: I am on the vi(m) side, no worries ;-} [07:22] I will make the emacs users pay for what they've done! [07:22] How do I route my aptitude/ping traffic through http port [07:22] hey i can't create a wireless adhoc in my ubuntu 10.04 [07:22] !offtopic | brien, i think you're straying a tiny bit into there [07:22] brien, i think you're straying a tiny bit into there: #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! [07:23] Yo no problem ubottu [07:23] Also, what is the default apt-get port? [07:23] DarkSector: why do you need to route your traffic via port 80? [07:23] EvilResistance: all other ports are blocked on my college net :| [07:24] DarkSector: last i checked, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade both downloaded via HTTP [07:24] i am using driver=brcmsmac [07:24] hi [07:24] (and if your college net is restricting your traffic in this manner, god help you) [07:24] Sorry Rud, let's focus on helping these folks [07:24] DarkSector: what makes you think the apt-get is being blocked? [07:24] I have never experienced neither Emacs nor vim more than five minutes [07:24] EvilResistance: well I can't ping or update, it can't connect to the repository urls [07:25] brien: help emacs folks? never! ;-) [sorry, could not resist] [07:25] can you access the internet normally? [07:25] Fun fueding though [07:25] (i.e. firefox or something) [07:25] hehe [07:25] im having some trouble with grub loader my setup is windows + ubuntu but now i put mac on also on a 25gig hfs+ partition [07:25] but I will mention vim is way easier to use and understand. That said that is puerly my opinion using both of them just a few moments [07:25] EvilResistance: Yeah I am on IRC on firefox [07:25] EvilResistance: the thing is, I can connect to the gpg urls on firefox [07:26] wireless problem save me my lords [07:26] EvilResistance: not through the terminal [07:26] save me [07:26] @darksector: I'm using apt-get to get some packages, and it is going through http... I don't know if that helps. [07:26] DarkSector: apt-get uses HTTP or FTP, depending on what's in /etc/apt/sources.list, which by default is HTTP [07:26] DarkSector: ignoring "ping", can you do apt-get update without problems? [07:26] EvilResistance: No, I can't do anything at all, no communication via the terminal [07:27] EvilResistance: even after enabling a system wide proxy, this doesn't seem to work [07:27] hi guys; what is the current recommended way to disable avahi-daemon and its minions? it sucks k thx [07:27] EvilResistance: can you predict any reasons for this? [07:28] DarkSector: i *think* you're SOL then, the network firewalls might be screening your client/downloader/etc. headers, and saying that if its not a web browser, to reject it, i think you'll have to talk to the help desk at your university or something [07:28] oh god [07:28] * EvilResistance had this issue at Penn State, but it was a minor issue that was rectified because they screwed up their firewalls [07:29] This has been a great first IRC experience [07:29] DarkSector: don't quote me on that "You're SOL" thing though, i'm only speculating (it *is* 3:30 AM here, so... :P) [07:29] Been using Linux since 2002. The community has clearly evolved quite a bit. [07:29] EvilResistance: That's fine, atleast I have something to work with [07:31] EvilResistance: also, anyway to figure out what ports might or might not be blocked on the network? Should I be using a tool like nmap or something? [07:31] DarkSector: that won't detect outgoing port blocks [07:32] DarkSector: nothing you can do from behind the netowrk, and nothing I'd explain how to do here (because of the ITSec implications) [07:32] oh okay [07:32] Thanks for your time === mark__ is now known as Mark_Snel [07:38] I have ran into this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/416190 That bug talks about the problem existing in Karmic and Lucid, I'm experiencing it on Natty. Other than updating the bug, is there anything else I could possibly do to help get this issue resolved without needing programming skills? [07:38] Launchpad bug 416190 in linux (Ubuntu) "Pulseaudio produces overdriven audio on Plantronics DA40 adapter" [Low,Confirmed] [07:39] hi, anyone know how i can correct a corrupt mjpg mkv video? === winston is now known as Guest70441 [07:43] Is it possible to make the system monitor display more than 60s of history? [07:44] is there a way to get a better-looking application switcher (and workspace switcher) in unity2d? [07:44] ok, what's the easiest way of installing ubuntu on a netbook, withouth the default gnome shell? I'd love to use ubuntu again (currently using debian squeeze which is kinda dated) but the default shell is too slow :/ [07:44] is lubuntu the way to go? or ubuntu server? [07:45] i'm using awesome wm normally [07:45] monotux: xubuntu, lubuntu, either could work, but unity is netbook-inspired, so... [07:46] monotux: if you want old-style gnome like stuff, from pre-Unity defaults... [07:46] monotux, dated? lol. debian is a rolling distro. Just update. [07:46] !not-unity | monotux [07:46] oh [07:46] !notunity | monotux [07:46] monotux: 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 [07:46] zamabe: squeeze is the stable distro, which means it gets some updates every 3 rd month or so [07:46] but I need python 2.7 and such [07:46] and installing 2.7 breaks a lot of the system [07:47] .... what is this i don't even [07:47] EvilResistance: I've used the netbook editing and the new unity thingy, it wastes screenestate and is kinda slow on a low-end netbook [07:47] I use X11 to run chrome/firefox and for getting antialiasing in my emacs [07:47] ah, then try xubuntu or lubuntu. note othough that ubuntu-server is CLI only, so... [07:48] you shouldn't use ubuntu-server unless you want command-line only [07:48] (probably not what you want ;P) [07:48] well I guess I can install X11 in ubuntu server as well? [07:48] that used to be only a meta-package [07:48] back in the day when ubuntu was brand new ;) [07:49] well I'll probably go for lubuntu 12.04 [07:50] i wonder if i can bootstrap a installation from my swap-drive... [07:50] I need help installing Ubuntu 12 Beta 2 with WUBI installer. [07:50] hi anybody uses quanta? [07:51] After Installing it is boots up with ubuntu but says unable to locate root files system [07:52] ????? [08:02] Hi [08:03] I was wondering if someone knows why the mysql-client default behaviour is to connect trough socket instead trough localhost tcp connection ? [08:03] I've an Maverick [08:03] Is it hard coded when canonical compiled the sources ? [08:04] yooo: its likely that's how the mysql people have the code. [08:04] yooo: you should also be aware that Maverick is EOL, so you will probably need to upgrade soon. [08:06] EvilResistance: actually, I installed the server from the website (mysql.com). I installed the complete bundle (server and client). Then, I wanted to use innotop, and I installed mysql-client-5.1 from offical repo, and the default behaviour of the client changed [08:06] yooo: don't mix-and-match server/client versions [08:06] I couldn't find any settings justifying this new behaviour in any config files :/ [08:06] it'll break things [08:06] EvilResistance: yeah, I know, but i'm using ghosted computers, I can't do anything ^ [08:07] yooo: don't mix-and-match, either use the packages in the repos or use the bundle from the SQL site, not both :P [08:07] breakage occurs [08:07] what will it take to install latest evolution 3.4 to ubuntu 10.10? [08:07] EvilResistance: I know that is not very 'clean' way to do, but that is not the point, I'm in MySQL training (the language, not in admin sys) [08:08] I just wanna know where the mysql-client-5.1 default behaviour is set (not in /etc/my.cnf not ~/.my.cnf) [08:08] yooo: i dont think that's defined anywhere, what's the connection string you're using? [08:09] yooo: should be something like mysql -u user -h [hostnameOrIP] -p [08:09] or something [08:09] how to downgrade openssl in ubuntu? [08:09] yooo: unless you're using a GUI [08:09] fsgxdroid: first question: why do you need to downgrade? [08:09] When the bundle was installed, I used to execute 'mysql'. Since I installed client from repo, I do need to do 'mysql -h 127.0.0.1' [08:09] because new version won't cooperate with my case [08:10] Or maybe, the hard coded default behaviour changed from 5.1 to 5.5 ? [08:10] yooo: not sure, but by default MySQL server listens on 127.0.0.1:port...

[11:54] looks like boot repair might be doing the trick [12:00] Hi! I have hit upon a huge problem: I was updating to Ubuntu 11.10 and in the middle the system shut down (due to overheating) and now I am in a state where my system won't start properly and I don't know what to do. [12:01] Lyfer: How far does it get? [12:01] If I try to start the normal mode, the startup just hangs, without any clear error messages. And it won't start the x-server [12:01] I can start in fail safe mode and from there it is possible to start the x-server with startx. [12:02] I will restart it now and see exactly what it says. Wait two secs. [12:02] Lyfer: Try the update from fail safe mode. [12:02] Lyfer: i would try to see the error-message while the normal boot - to understand where it hangs [12:03] I have tried to update in fail safe mode but nothing happens. [12:03] boot-splashes are usualy not helpful at all - as they hide infos you might otherwise see [12:03] It may be that the process have destroyed some configuration but I don't know how to reset it. [12:03] i treid fixing my grub loader [12:03] but i get a old grub 1.99 [12:03] Lyfer: You really need to fix the hardware issue before going any farther. (Fix your PC so that it no longer overheats.) [12:04] Lyfer: try with sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get -f install [12:04] no options no menu just a "grub > " thing where i can type in some commands or something [12:04] !piracy | yohann [12:04] yohann: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

Take it apart and clean it, etc. [12:06] Lyfer: .... apply new thermal grease [12:07] usr13: Yes, I guess I'll have to. Right now I try to allow for better air flow and it seems to help slightly. === jsoa_ is now known as jsoa [12:08] Lyfer, A few yrs. ago my wife had lappy over-heat problems; she bought and is thrilled with one of those external fans that sit under the lappy.. [12:08] The "ubuntu" splash screen comes on, then it disappears. The last message in the startup is "Starting CUPS printing spooler/server [OK]" [12:09] Lyfer, Just ignore the additional noise. :-) [12:09] It is possible to ssh login to the computer in its current condition as well. [12:09] And make sure that you're zipper is up. :) [12:10] Sidewinder: Oh, sounds too dangerous for me. ;) [12:10] Lyfer i havent followed, i'm here over ssh, what do you mean by current condition [12:10] ;) [12:10] MonkeyDust: My computer does not start properly. [12:10] does any one know of a ready argument to use syslog for central logging over windows event log? I need to convince a windows admin we should move to centralized syslog [12:11] i want to view NOAA charts, in raster format, but i cant understand what application to use in ubuntu. [12:11] stimpie, try ##windows [12:11] I would be happy if I could just clean out all startup config files and replace them with what would be a fresh installation. [12:12] pangolin, good suggestion ;-) [12:12] black_, Have you tried 'Gimp"? [12:12] Lyfer do you get past the grub menu or not even that? [12:12] MonkeyDust: Yepp, I get the "Ubunut" splash screen and then it disappears. [12:13] sidewinder, no but they are sort of in a folder, with some data files that i cant understand [12:14] zvacet: Doesn't do anything. :( [12:14] black_, I know nothing about "Raster", sorry, but I would try opening in Gimp, it should already be installed, and see if that helps. [12:14] Lyfer hm, not sure, but try the basic ssh [remote user]@[remote ip] [12:15] sidewinder, thank you for your information [12:15] usr13: Apply new thermal paste… On a laptop? [12:15] black_, Also Blender is a CAD like program (I've never used it), that might help.. [12:15] MonkeyDust: The ssh works. That is not the issue. The issue is that the desktop does not load.

[12:16] Lyfer do you want a gui over ssh? what do you mean by 'the desktop does not load'? [12:16] phryk: Nope, so I don't know if I will attempt it. [12:16] sidewinder, those are nautical charts, i was wondering if you knew any char application meant for electronic charts [12:17] Guest41493: tool to open/view tcp connections, send packets etc, can do *lots*. [12:17] MonkeyDust: No, I want to be able to start my computer. I just tried to tell anyone listening that it was possible to do an ssh login. Thus trying to define the state of my computer. [12:17] Lyfer: Then simply don't. If it's a thinkpad you might be able to do it, if it's anything else it'll likely break. Just hold a vacuum cleaner up to the 'Exhaust pipe' of your laptop, that ought to suck out most of the dust. [12:17] black_, Yes, I'm a pilot and have also done much marine navigation; so I know NOAA... :-) [12:17] Lyfer: if you can ssh then your computer HAS started [12:18] Guest41493: yes [12:18] black_: could this be helpful? (it's not a package that is in the ubuntu repositories..) [12:18] it can be used in a whole raft of ways [12:18] Guest41493: Very simple tool for network analysis. [12:18] sidewinder, i am really sorry, i didnt knew that.. :D [12:18] fl1bbl3: OK, bad wording from my side. It starts but it does not complete the startup sequence, ie., it does not load the login screen. [12:19] Lyfer: do you mean it won't show _anything_ or that it won't start X? [12:19] oCean , i didnt get you [12:19] black_, I would just try gimp and if that doesn't do what you want, maybe Blender but I doubt it.. :-( [12:19] fl1bbl3: It won't start x and it won't give me a login screen (except in fail safe mode, where I can login and start x manually using "startx") [12:20] black_: right, forgot to paste the link :) http://polarnavy.wordpress.com/2010/01/22/linux-installation-instructions/ [12:21] can you boot into recovery mode?

[12:27] puppet chef is why I ask ^^ [12:27] OerHeks, but what is the difference in the OS if I have ubuntu with KDE vs openSUSE with default KDE ? [12:27] phryk: What should I look for in the log? [12:28] I have two nics, one used for internet feed and one for sharing on two servers [12:28] MrWobz, not sure but maybe adhoc it is called I could 100% be wrong on that one there [12:28] pentagonpie, the software/packagemanager and i asume the artwork [12:28] I have made switches out of router/firewalls [12:29] adhoc is sharing a wifi connection...

[13:04] MonkeyDust: I checked outside tmux, and it looks like crap. It must be my putty client. How can i fix it? [13:04] Will some mod ban that fool he has 100% said that he is scanning people with nmap [13:04] OerHeks: thank you [13:04] bobweaver, you didn't even answer my question when i ask [13:04] how do I get apt-get to forward through this? [13:04] LmAt not sure what you mean, i'm familiar with putty on XP, but what is it you want to do [13:04] bobweaver, how do i add icons to my desktop [13:04] MonkeyDust: In fact, even Tmux doesn't display correctly. The divider between windows is a bunch of a with accent ague instead of blocks. [13:04] but nobody answers me [13:04] guys, i have installed flash player, but i am not getting any audio output from firefox [13:04] MonkeyDust: I want it to display correctly.

[13:07] Hi guys, how can I access my C: drive from terminal? [13:07] MonkeyDust: Also, elinks shows all kinds of crap all over the place instead of the cool shapes that it's supposed to show.

[13:10] or: man ls === q-rban is now known as q0rban [13:10] d'oh, meant bluegoon [13:10] would anyone tell me in short where's the settings of java for shells ? i have not ubuntu but need to deal with that on someone else's laptop .. there's some inane script update-java-alternatives not aware for 3rd party javas .. we have in suse this https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=478321 .. unfortunatelly i am an author so i'd say that it will be very easy to just point me where it is in ubuntu [13:10] bluegoon: I'm a bit of a newb, but try "cd /".

[13:11] LordXe-gnu, try whereis wine [13:11] bluegoon: Everything on your hard drive (I think) (and much more!) is under cd / [13:11] LmAt: I have a second internal hard drive, how do I browse to it in terminal? [13:11] bluegoon: you can use cd to change directories and ls to list files in the diretories [13:11] bluegoon: You have to ensure it's "mounted" [13:11] bluegoon, there is a tutorial by a man named cazz giffen or something like that on youtube I 100% say watch it [13:11] bluegoon: depends on where you've mounted that drive [13:11] bobweaver: ok thank you [13:11] bluegoon: What happens is You attach that hard drive to your computer, then you need to decide where it should show up under "cd /" [13:11] chazz giffen * IDK how to spell it [13:12] LordXe-gnu: in short, list the content (files) of the all wine related packages in your system [13:12] MrKeuner, oh, curious... it found it in /usr/bin/wine but bash can't run it... hrm [13:12] LmAt i'm not familiar with tmux [13:12] Xtreme with what? [13:12] bluegoon: typing "mount" will show you all mounted drives, but that may not be overly helpful to you if you dont know the device name [13:12] bluegoon: So you decide where it should go (perhaps /media/newdrive) and "mount" it there. [13:12] LordXe-gnu, try ls -al /usr/bin/wine [13:12] chmod +x LordXe-gnu [13:12] PROBABLY [13:12] MrKeuner, indeed ls found it, very interesting === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] [13:12] MonkeyDust: It doesn't matter!

[13:15] MonkeyDust: Also, in elinks, I lots of artifacts. [13:15] Hello, is there any way to specify the default display manager to use ? [13:15] LordXe-gnu, I would try sudo apt-get remove --purge wine before reinstalling it [13:15] LmAt sorry dude, can't help [13:15] LordXe-gnu, never seen this before [13:15] MrKeuner, hm, worth a shot -- stand by :) [13:15] Finnish, look at sudo update-alternitives --config x-windows-manager [13:15] LordXe-gnu: is ``ldd /usr/bin/wine'' without errors ? [13:15] no need to paste here or wherever [13:15] Because i accidentally installed gdm, but i'd like to use lightdm anyway ! [13:15] nettezzaumana, not a dynamic executable (according to ldd) [13:15] Firartix, sudo update-alternitives --config x-windows-manager read it up 1st [13:15] LordXe-gnu: you are on amd64? maybe need to install ia32libs [13:16] llutz, indeed I am on amd64 [13:16] okay, thanks, i'll have a look at this [13:16] LordXe-gnu: well, the wine invocation works ? eg you can type for example `wine notepad' in your ~/.wine/drive_c/.... ? so the wine fails ? [13:17] you do not need 32bit libs to run wine [13:17] Hi. How to figure out what X config file is used now? [13:17] acicula: sure? "depends on ia32-libs" .... [13:18] crazydiamond, update-alternitives --config x-windows-manager read it up 1st [13:18] crazydiamond: no files is used now because the X reads a cfg file only on startup and then they closes() all FDs [13:18] bobweaver: wait no, i meant the Display Manager, not Window manager [13:18] ahh [13:18] nettezzaumana, nope it does not work [13:18] so I have an interseting error here [13:18] LordXe-gnu: so the script /usr/bin/wine doesn't work correctly ? right ?

[13:24] llutz: indeed it does, i checked with precise, which uses wine1.4, its dropped there. so sorry for the confusion [13:24] hey guys... the app switching in Ubuntu is driving me crazy... I think I have already disabled the app switcher that comes with Unity, but the "normal" one is still not good. The problem is that it shows the open apps as an endless array of three items that rotate infinitively. Is there a way to just have the super oldschool normal appswitcher Windows used to have? Just show me a list of icons and [13:24] they stay at their positions when I tab, when I reach the end of the list, the frame can jump to the beginning. After switching, another [13:24] Firartix, might need sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm 1st same place in the end [13:24] damn, iyou are right.. i killed it [13:24] nettezzaumana, but thanks for the suggestion I will see if I can squeeze any info out of it [13:24] uuuuuuuh strangely reconfigure says lightdm isn't installed [13:24] even though it's launched right now [13:24] acicula: well, precise is not part of the discussion here (yet) ;) [13:24] LordXe-gnu: yes, of course you will [13:24] umm [13:25] LordXe-gnu: with debugging script you clearly see where it fails and if you know where it fails you can fix it [13:25] Firartix, did you try with gdm in place of lightdm ? [13:25] Firartix, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [13:25] Firartix, does that see it ? [13:26] well gdm isn't installed at all [13:26] llutz: yeah i am aware :) [13:26] auronandace: it worked after insalling pulseaudio [13:26] nettezzaumana, this wine wrapper, it's a script that exists or you are suggesting that I wrap wine itself in a script to redirect stderr? [13:26] but re-installing it seems to prompt for which dm to use [13:26] should be good now [13:26] Firartix, sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm ? [13:26] thanks [13:27] Firartix, \o/ [13:30] LordXe-gnu: /usr/bin/wine == wine wrapper in my terminology as far as you've reported that ldd failed thus it's script ;) [13:31] how can i kill pulseaudio dameon?

[13:36] Are there any performance differences between the 32 and 64 bit variants?

[13:42] bobweaver: I want to print the current rules without enabling it [13:43] Duality: and then unzip file.zip [13:43] Duality: You might want to read stuff about linux and/or ubuntu basics instead of asking inside a ubuntu support channel, though [13:43] yeah, you'd get faster answer on google :) [13:43] bobweaver: I understand I can just look at the iptables but I was just curious to see if there was a way to use the ufw rules list [13:43] SunTsu: Think the chat support is great for interactive learning :) [13:44] no i now how to do stuff from command line :) been using ubuntu server for quite a while now, just didn't know how to unzip file's :) [13:44] newb to --> unzipping files [13:44] bluegoon: I don't think so, because it wastes everybody's time [13:44] SunTsu: I thought we were volunteering [13:44] Does anyone know why suddenly my folder ~/.local/Trash/Expunged filled up my Disk free space becoming my Distro unable to boot?

But loosing all my panel sensors and moving my 30+ panel icons into one big mashed up/angled list on the side of my screen, was very painful, thus my move to xfce. perhaps better migration of existing layout would have been better :) [14:38] troubled: i doubt any unity developers are here, so your comment wouldn't be seen by them [14:39] troubled: #ubuntu-unity is their home.

[14:46] dgtl: use something else, problem solved, now back to ubuntu support [14:47] tomasm-, moving keyboard switch to gnome-session-daemon predates unity [14:47] dgtl: you can only work with gnome2 and you call yourself a sysadmin?

[14:48] so what graphics cards have people had success with? [14:48] is there anyone here perhaps that uses xfce4 in 11.10, and has LVM? if so, I wouldn't mind knowing if it works as expected, mine seems to be broken atm (manual mounting only) [14:49] ThadiusB, for what purpose? [14:49] Lint, no, I don't know how.... is the keyboard layout tool youre talkin about 'libgnomekbd' or 'gkbd-applet'? [14:49] nvidia graphics chipsets [14:49] specifically when using thunar though as file manager, i should add. the problem is that I seem to be missing my LV's from the thunar side panel that normally has the option to mount/unmount them [14:49] gnome-control-center [14:50] applet is dead and gone [14:50] Lint, ah, ok thanks [14:50] Lint: grep 500 /etc/passwd [14:50] Lint: of course "sudo chown -R" is your friend. [14:50] Lint: sudo chmod is also your friend [14:51] I don't think there is usually a user or service with uid of 500 in Ubuntu [14:51] meganerd, it works without chown in other distro [14:51] but ubuntu has no access [14:51] anyone ever installed joomla to a lamp server? how to i add the json support for php? [14:52] sadly its fstab in on ext4 filesystem which I cannot browse now [14:52] I have a question about chmod, is it possible to set some flags with it, so that everytime a file is created in that folder it has write perms for the group... is that possible? is this the right channel to ask? [14:53] Lint: create a group on both distros, manually specify the GUID, then chown to that group [14:53] StR: you mean like a umask perhaps? [14:53] StR: or do you mean just for specific dirs/files? [14:53] StR: sticky bit, google for unix file permissions [14:53] is there any difference between using "/etc/init.d/servicename start" vs "service servicename start" vs "start servicename" ? [14:53] troubled, probably but haven't find how [14:54] I have downloaded a login theme, with the file 'GdmGreeterTheme.desktop'... [14:54] How do I install it as my login theme? [14:54] I share my uid already, shouldn´t it be enough? [14:54] how do i add json support to a map server? it doesnt seem like in included it by default [14:54] Lint: but the files are not owned by that UID [14:54] StR: sorry, i missed the second part in this wall-o-text about the write perms for group. you mean like g+ws i think [14:54] 500:500 is user:group [14:54] meganerd, then how you will explain the user 1000 can access them? [14:55] Lint: chances are your user is part of a group with GID of 500 on the other distro [14:55] *that... [14:55] meganerd, yes.. I found it's possible to set the sicky bit for all new files to be owned by a specific group, but not to force it to be g+w [14:55] wangor: /etc/init.d/whatever calls the old sysvinit way, the other two use upstart ( which may or may not then in turn call /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf to run those old ones in /etc/init.d ) [14:55] idkguy: One of my servers needed libjson-perl ,perhaps that will help.. Just a shot.. [14:55] meganerd, ok I will check it out [14:55] Lint, thanks, it works great now, and I have a keystroke to toggle it.... you know if it's possible to say the layout on the toolbar icon? ie "EN", "RU", etc [14:55] genii-around: thanks [14:55] gregL did you install it with apt-get? [14:55] yes [14:56] idkguy, yes [14:56] tomasm-, icon is placed into notification area [14:56] gregL cool ill try that [14:56] it should show the keyboard icon and ¨Rus¨ or ¨Eng¨ text [14:56] Lint, yes i see the icon, it just looks like a keyboard rather than say anything on top of the icon as to what layout/language, etc is active. i have to click on it to find out, i was hoping there could be something visible at all times [14:57] you don´t see text? [14:57] Lint, no, just the icon [14:58] Lint, it may be because its gnome classic [14:58] StR: personally I would suggest looking into umasks if you want newly created files to have certain permissions by default. the default is 0022, but it sounds like you want at least some process to be more like 0002 or something similar [14:58] troubled, right, but for a specific folder [14:59] StR: well, thats the limitation i suppose. unless you had 1 specific process that only wrote to that dir that you could setup a pam setup environment that set the umask for it [15:00] StR: otherwise I suppose you could enter the realm of mandatory access controls (MAC) and allow more liberal DAC (discretionary/file permissions) and restrict things via something like apparmour or selinux. but thats getting a little complicated [15:00] does anyone know how I can get the version of Ubuntu? [15:01] tomasm-, gnome shell shows the language code like ¨en¨ instead, you could try it [15:01] StR: that, or patch the software in question to specifically do what you need [15:01] WolfDev, /etc/lsb-release file [15:01] * troubled ponders about directory monitoring solution [15:01] troubled, let me tell you what my problem is, I'm probably stuck in "my" solution. [15:01] Lint, thanks. [15:01] WolfDev, or the command: lsb_release -a [15:02] let me try that one too. === Sovereign is now known as Guest88459 [15:03] permission denied [15:03] I can run lsb_release -a without using sudo [15:03] troubled, I have a folder, /var/www with the website to be shown by apache, the files to that folder is handled by SVN, so when I do svn up, all the files in that folder get in sync with the repository; but there are times some other files are created by hand in the folder; the issue is that different users can ssh to the server and change the files in that folder [15:04] compdoc: what's it do when you try it? [15:04] shows me the release [15:04] Then I guess you don't need sudo. [15:04] is there a way to have a system automatically run a script (alert/alarm) if it is booted into single user mode? [15:04] for this server - its 11.10 [15:04] troubled, with chmod g+s I was able to set that all the files in that folder are created under the same group, but now I need the files to be writtable by the same group [15:04] maybe the command is different on other versions [15:05] StR: thats what a umask is good for. for example: cd /tmp ; umask ; touch foo ; umask 0002 ; touch bar ; umask 0022 ; ls -l foo bar [15:05] compdoc: It was available on 8.04 [15:06] troubled, but the user will need to remeber to run umask every time [15:06] StR: well, you have numerous ways to setup the environment for users. like /etc/profile or their own home bashrc files etc [15:06] troubled, the goal is for the user not needing to run anything as the user will forget to do that [15:07] StR: for example, I see a umask in /etc/profile here. although yours might be in /etc/profile.d/ somewhere too (i tweak my stock setup, so i can't say for sure). so you could for example add a umask to the profile for the whole system and try that [15:08] troubled: StR: you can set it by user but not by directory. [15:08] gvo: aye, that seems to be the problem specifically here === UnusedBagels is now known as Bagels [15:09] i suppose logout script or something to monitor the dir could be better. personally dont like weak umasks. but not so bad if its group only +w i guess [15:11] StR: perhaps something using inotify would be better? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=950939 has some recipies that might allow you to fire off a command to fix permissions [15:11] troubled, checking, thanks === TimR_ is now known as TimR [15:13] StR: if your svn server is local on the machine, post commit hooks could also work for you if you changed your workflow to prevent manual file creating in the www dir and force users through svn (probably good idea in general imho) [15:14] anyways, hope all this helps. linux always has a billion ways to do stuff :) [15:14] StR: also checkout newgrp : for instance user can do newgrp $OTHERGRP. then all operations will be done with $OTHERGRP permissions [15:14] str: you want users to change the files or you are trying to prevent that? [15:14] lsb_release [15:15] $OTHGRP group permissions [15:15] privmsg [15:15] gvo, I want to allow all the users in the same group to be able to create/write/delete files in a specific folder, doesn't matter who created it [15:16] hey i just got a new laptop 3 months ago and im using ubuntu it is reporting bad sectors can that be correct? [15:16] StR: newgrp should work [15:16] nullhax: yes [15:16] StR: OK [15:16] when building your own kernel, how do you specify a custom uname? [15:16] does anyone know how to move the min/max/close to the right top window in version 11.10? [15:16] darn gotta send it back in [15:16] thx [15:16] enthdegree: when you are using the deb-file just edit the changelog [15:17] !controls | WolfDev [15:17] WolfDev: Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information and workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [15:17] thanks ubottu [15:17] WolfDev: hes a bot. [15:17] iceroot: I'm doing it through some soure I downloaded [15:17] bots need love too! [15:17] Why is it that Ubuntu makes upgrading to the current LTS release(10.4) such a big pain. [15:17] lol [15:18] WolfDev: or you could just install xubuntu :) [15:18] xubuntu is nice [15:18] Brixius: should we guess what your issue is? [15:18] lol [15:18] seems its best to install new versions from scratch [15:18] Brixius better wait a few more days if you plan to upgrade [15:18] Brixius: It worked fine for me. [15:18] enthdegree: i guess #linux is then the correct source [15:19] enthdegree: oh hey, I assume you are using xfce. curious, are you using lvm at all with thunar? Im here for a problem where my LV's don't show up, but nobody seems to be speaking up yet :( [15:19] My bluetooth headset is not working. It being shown there and I'm able to connect. But the sound is not coming through it! :/ Can somebody please help me? [15:19] splnet, I read the newgrp man and I didn't understood how the new created files would have g+w perms with it === XLV_ is now known as XLV [15:20] StR: are all users using the same default group? [15:20] troubled: are you booting from LVs or is this an external lv that you want to look at? [15:20] this has got to bigest bug in ubuntu, which I don't get, it was possible to upgrade along the way, but someone somewhere made the decision to A) move the repos, there still online, so why make everyone update there system. B) disable or not include a check to see what the next release is to goto for do-dist-upgrade. [15:21] splnet, yes [15:21] enthdegree: nah, its boot lvm. my /usr and /var work fine, but since I upgraded to 11.10 and switched to xfce, I dont have the list of lv's in the thunar file browser like I did in gnome (which worked fine in 11.10) [15:21] StR: and you want group permissions g+w for the defaul group only? [15:22] splnet, doesn't matter, but in the end yes [15:22] enthdegree: i can manually mount still just fine, and udisk enumeration shows everything is seen at least. but thunar doesn't show anyhting lvm related at all, and I enabled "enable logical volume management" in the prefs too [15:23] troubled: does it not show up even after after it is manually mounted [15:23] enthdegree: I should mention though that it seems gnome has control of my desktop itself instead of xfce, so im wondering if naut is hijacking something that is causing the problem [15:23] don't think so, but let me double check [15:24] enthdegree: no, one of my volumes is mounted now from lvm and its not in the list (short of me browsing to the /media mount point for it) [15:24] StR: if all users have the SAME primary group, then umask will work. If there is a user that has a DIFFERENT primary group, then they will need to use newgrp + umask. Make sense? [15:24] troubled: was it ever working through thunar? [15:24] troubled: it soundds like you installed xubuntu and then later installed some gnome suite [15:25] enthdegree: don't know, I originally install this as a 9.x install, and upgraded over the years. it wasn't until yesterday that I got 11.10 and switched to xfce and noticed it === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk === fishsponge__ is now known as fishsponge [15:25] somebody please? [15:25] enthdegree: originally this was a stock ubuntu install, with manual apt-get of xfce4 years ago. seems xfce might be missing something or conflicting with gnome somehow, but not sure other than to try remove gnome [15:26] splnet, but the user will need to remeber to run umask every time they are going to update the content in that folder.. and that's what I don't want as they will forget [15:26] right, but that would be a hassle and may create other problems. [15:26] ya, thats what im worried about [15:26] Sorry, had to vent, luckly it's on vmware, so I can create a snapshot prior to doing the cdupgrade. Just a pet peive of mine when governance of a product makes a stupid decision. IMO all upgrades should be available and functional, at a minimum from previous LTS Through Current LTS version. [15:26] hello, how much should I spare for swap on a box with 4gig ram? [15:27] troubled: does thunar even output anything incriminating when you run it in the terminal [15:27] yuds: up to you [15:27] StR: just add it to /etc/profile [15:27] enthdegree: is there any virtual package that you know of that would turn a stock ubuntu into xubuntu? in case im missing some depends or other. and sec, ill look at console output [15:27] ikonia: can you help a bit more? [15:27] troubled: there may be some hook that gnome has tekon over [15:27] *taken [15:28] troubled: not that I am aware of; the best way to get xubuntu is to install xubuntu... [15:28] enthdegree: ya, seems so. as for running "thunar", it just returns to console and no stderr output at all [15:28] yuds: sure, you allocate as much swap as you need depending on your use, if your system will use more than 4GB of ram, then allocate swap to allow it to use disk, if your system idles a lot, allocate swap to allow it to swap out processes, if you want to suspect allocate enough swap to dump your whole ram at least [15:28] I can't open Ubuntu, all i get is a blank purple screen(dark purple) [15:30] enthdegree: well I suppose im due for a nice fresh install soon anyways :) thx for help though [15:30] troubled: Have you seen this? I actually had a near-identical issue several years back but I completely forget how I solved it; this may go through it https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130748 [15:31] looking [15:31] so can anybody help me?

[15:32] AngrySpam: research the "nomodeset" boot option [15:32] Good morning gentlement on the West Coast of America with me. [15:32] I have a question if anyone is awake? [15:33] ZenMaster: just ask it [15:33] enthdegree, Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE? [15:33] Without having to edit each individual host file on my 30 windows machines. Do I have to setup a DNS server here on the local intranet so I can have a name represent my Ubuntu server instead of a Class C address. [15:33] Or do I have to setup Bind. [15:34] ZenMaster: bind is a dns server [15:34] Or is it something in Samba. [15:34] ZenMaster: you will need a name resolution service either on your linux machine or on your ubuntu machine [15:34] robertzaccour: Thhat doesn't look like it. try lspci | grep WLAN [15:34] I might add that this is so they can view a corporate intranet website. [15:34] ZenMaster: it doesn't have to be dns, it can be "active directory", DNS, net mios etc. === El is now known as null [15:34] netbios naming [15:34] editing the hosts file on even one machine is too much work [15:34] ZenMaster: any name service, I'd suggest Active directory if all your clients are windows [15:34] Question - I want to report a bug, but it's regarding certain functionality of Fn keys. The ubuntu-bug feature requires me to select an application. How exactly would I report this particular item? [15:35] Well I would hate to have to setup another WindowS Machine, or expel resources on the Ubuntu server box to Virtual BOX a windows SBS or something. [15:35] Maybe with Net Bios might be the simplest solution.

However I'm going to upgrade to 12.04 (or change distro if I'm unable to get a proper desktop setup) [16:01] wylde, so I want to know what can be done before taking time on it [16:02] ldiamond: I've made myself use unity for a while, it's starting to not feel so clunky. (I'm on 12.04 now). === FatalError is now known as LordXe-gnu [16:03] ldiamond: same as the rest you can use whatever DE you choose :) [16:03] I actually like how Unity hides the chrome by default so there's more usable screen real estate, but maybe that's just me === jsec is now known as large_jsec [16:03] not that I had any problem with gnome before [16:04] LordXe-gnu, yea but I don't like how you lose all the information you used to have in the top panel. [16:04] LordXe-gnu: I seriously disliked the globalmenu, so I removed the packages related to it right away. That alone made a big difference for me. [16:04] wylde, oh, didn't realize you could remove just that bit of it [16:04] LordXe-gnu: yep you can +) [16:04] ldiamond, hm. I guess I never really looked anyway ;p [16:04] :) [16:04] LordXe-gnu, I also find it quite annoying to have the side bar. My gnome setup is with a single panel and I have plenty screen estate with 2 monitors and 6 virtual desktops [16:05] ah [16:05] hi. from command prompt i was able to run "sudo ..." commands but not today. now i'm getting error: "username is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." [16:06] ldiamond: you can choose to have the panel on one or all displays. [16:06] "command prompt" :/ [16:06] Hi, there. I'm having trouble with my ssh client. It doesn't display some window-drawing extended ascii characters properly. [16:06] didn't know I was on #windows :p [16:07] http://www.asciitable.com/ shows some codes. For instance, number 196 is a vertical table line. It shows up as little a with an hat (accent ague?). :( [16:07] LmAt, consider your shell as the issue rather than the SSH client [16:07] dooma09, as your user type "id", do you see a group named "admin"? [16:07] LmAt, that's Accent Grave [16:08] LmAt: best I can suggest is look into ncurses. [16:08] I thought that hat was a circumflex [16:08] i got swat working. I want to be access a directory in ubuntu while i'm on mac os x machine [16:08] LmAt, oh, hat, Accent Circonflexe [16:08] how would I setup the directory in samba [16:08] ldiamond: What does my shell have to do with it? [16:08] ldiamond: I'm using bash... [16:08] LmAt, isn't the shell displaying it? [16:09] LordXe-gnu: nope i don't see "admin". how do i add it? [16:09] LmAt: I think you might need an ncurses lib. Only suggestion I can come up with atm. [16:09] dooma09, well... with sudo ;) but more precisely from an account that can sudo... is this a different account than the one you were using before? [16:09] ldiamond: um... my ssh client is displaying the program that is displaying those characters (tmux or elinks in this case). [16:09] LmAt, in bash, run 'local' [16:09] LmAt, in bash, run 'locale' [16:10] ldiamond: okay. What should I expect? I see LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [16:10] and 10 or so others. [16:10] LordXe-gnu: this is same acct as before. I can temporary do "su" and type any commands and then exit [16:10] LmAt, "my ssh client is displaying", you're referring to x forwarding? [16:10] If I added a user to www-data group would he be able to upload files to /var/www? [16:10] ldiamond: I'm using putty. [16:10] LmAt, in ubuntu? [16:11] ldiamond: I'm running Microsoft Windows XP. [16:11] LmAt, this is #ubuntu [16:11] dooma09, oh, you have a root password. Well that's good enough. As root run "gpasswd -a USER admin" then log your user out / back in and see if it works [16:11] good night bro [16:11] ldiamond: Where should I look for help with putty for Windows? [16:11] ldiamond: I was hoping it would be a $TERM issue or something :( [16:12] ldiamond: I guess I should see if putty for linux has the same issue... [16:12] LmAt, putty has a bunch of settings for that. Look through the setting window [16:13] LordXe-gnu: ok i'll try it and logout and login again [16:13] LmAt: http://fixunix.com/linux/2171-charset-putty.html might help give you some insight [16:13] ldiamond: thanks.

I wonder if anybody in here can help with a problem with Flash. It seems that I can't click anything in the "Adobe Flash Player Settings"-window anymore that appears after choosing "settings..." in the context menu. Plus, Flash seems to "block" Opera and also doesn't play continuously anymore in Firefox as well. [16:56] I mean, choosing the context menu from either Opera or Firefox. [16:57] Fyi, someone previously suggested somehow accessing the printer through a windows machine already sharing the printer but either a) I haven't done that properly or b) it just doesn't work [16:57] max978: well idk that printer, quick look brought some results, in your situation I'd first try to get it work directly connected to see what drivers are needed and then do the network setup [16:59] Is there a way to cascade/tile my windows with a click of a button? [16:59] Mrokii, I'm not sure it will solve your problem but there's a firefox extension called "flash-aid" that helps installing flash correctly (idk for opera though) [16:59] max978: as said , unknown to me roo : 1) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1259372 [16:59] yo [17:00] 2) http://pc-drivers.de/related/panasonic+kx+mb781+ubuntu+ [17:00] i just started a new ec2 instance with oneric ocelot and i have all this getty processes running [17:00] there's no reason to have getty on a headless ec2 instance [17:00] bct_: Thanks, I will have a look.

[17:00] how the hell do i stop them [17:00] How come ubuntu has such pretty rendered fonts compared to other linux distributions ? (Fonts seem smoother) [17:01] Mrokii, well it actually reinstalls flash so maybe you'll be lucky [17:01] max978: second, will look some further [17:01] ok [17:01] bct_: Okay.

[18:30] I am simply subverting the integrated if more than one gpu is present [18:30] eldereko_: I'm far from an expert, I'm not it isn't possible, I just don't know how you would go about it. :) [18:30] *not saying* [18:31] DasEi, I will pastebin it in a few sec [18:31] * avatargz [18:31] we generate our own xorg.conf from scratch [18:31] hi === Lukas is now known as Guest88274 [18:35] !precise [18:35] 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 [18:35] This is the pastebin : http://paste.ubuntu.com/938689/ [18:36] I tried installing ubuntu12.04 and 11.10 multiple times on a dual booting machine with windows, but grub never starts. Instead windows always boots directly, no sign of grub. Do you have an idea what could have gone wrong? [18:37] If you installed windows after linux, your MBR was overwritten by windows tom95 [18:37] L3top_: no, windows was already installed [18:38] L3top_, and how do we do that? [18:38] tom95, try installing Linux and in the partition phase select advanced and indicate the hard drive to install the grub [18:38] I'm planning on running Ubuntu using virtualbox on my laptop that has 8gb of RAM and an i5-2540m, will this be alright or am I gonna have serious performance/battery issues? [18:38] Guest88274: I did [18:38] SnF00, why so much ram for a vbox [18:39] I have never encountered that. All I can assume is that grub was written to a non boot partition. [18:39] SnF00, I install Precise Pangolin in the same procesor but 4Gb RAM, and works like a charm, with graphic effects and everithing [18:39] I don't think I'd dedicate all 8gb to the vbox [18:40] L3top_: I heard about those bios problem forbidding grub to boot and I have a graphicall bios... could it be caused by this? [18:40] SnF00, ok, misunderstood you then [18:40] SnF00, that vbox will run very well on such a system [18:41] Okay, great. Thanks for the answers. [18:41] As I said, I have never encountered it... but I tend to avoid dual booting in general... sorry tom95 [18:41] L3top_: ok, thanks anyway [18:41] SnF00, there is also a channel #vbox for much more technical questions [18:41] L3top_: is there maybe a grub channel? [18:41] guntbert ubottu - thanks [18:42] tom95, there is [18:42] hello [18:42] enthdegree: oh btw, got it working fine after installing xubuntu-desktop, my LVs in thunar that is. thanks again though :) [18:42] Alright, I'll make sure to use that channel when I doubtlessly mess something up [18:42] Atlantic777 and K1rk|Work - thanks I will try them after installing Linux to HD [18:42] tom95, you can use alis to search for channel s on freenode by the way: /msg alis list *term* will return a list if they exist [18:43] angels: you're welcome :-) but really consider using a "real" client - that was what ubottu (she is a bot :-)) sent you [18:43] SnF00, asking here is ok too, but they are undoubtedly more knowledgeable on the finer points of virtualbox [18:44] guntbert - she listed freenode? that's what I'm on [18:44] Hey people, i am downloading teamviewer to help a friend who runs Win 7 and i am wondering how i could do it ;so that it will last like for 5 hours [18:44] Why when I go thru the Linux installer, why is an error telling me I need to make a Root? [18:44] !xchat | angels: no I was referring to [18:44] angels: no I was referring to: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines === jack is now known as Guest48766 [18:45] angels a root partiton is like a c drive for windows [18:45] In Oneric, how do I add stuff to the panel in Unity (like CPU usage applet, Memory usage applet, etc)? [18:45] Hey people, i am downloading teamviewer to help a friend who runs Win 7 and i am wondering how i could do it ;so that it will last like for 5 hours because the last time we did it it lasted for only 15 minutes [18:45] mint user here, sorry to bug you guys, but I'm having some trouble with xchat and connecting to the mint server [18:46] MrWobz - I used GParted to create GPT table, then 400GB ext4 (out of total 1TB). Is there another step I'm missing? [18:46] Guest48766, the mint server is useless anyways. [18:46] ldiamond: lm-sensors and sensores-applet [18:46] any body please help [18:47] sensors* [18:47] why does sudo mv -f file1 blah/file1 won't work? [18:47] ldiamond, what do you mean? [18:47] what's an alternative? [18:47] DasEi, How do I add the sensor applet in Unity? I know how to do it with gnome panel, but unity is so not user-friendly [18:47] Guest48766, none that I know of. [18:48] angels how much ram do you have ? linux used to have 3 partitions a lot... one for storage (docs etc) one for swap ( like windows pagefile) and one for os [18:48] ldiamond: secon, I'll try , not using unity either, might take a coup of tea [18:48] ldiamond, thanks [18:48] angels if you have plently of ram then just make one root partition... all of your stuff will be stored in /home/username/here [18:49] DasEi, even in 12.04 w/ gnome-panel, I couldn't figure out how to add it... [18:49] I always wonder why they took off all these functionalities [18:49] MrWobz - i am running 8GB. How do I create a root partition... from GParted or the Installer? [18:50] angels, the root partition is created during the install [18:50] ldiamond: right-click on panel, add.. but must have run sensors-detect beorehand and added modules, just some minutes, vm booting up [18:50] echo [18:50] angels: seperate /home is strongly encuraged [18:50] encouraged* [18:50] After an installation of ubuntu it has both ports of the onboard nics correctly in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules but the dual port 10G solar flare card has only one of the two ports in it, and so the other one comes up as 'rename2'. I tried to fix it by removing that file and rebooting, and now they are all 4 in there but in the wrong order (onboard0, 10g0, onboard1, 10g1) [18:50] pong LUEshi [18:50] angels, do what MrElendig said. [18:51] Are there a way to make firefox ignore all redirects to a certain web address? So all other redirects work, but when my stupid zyxelmodem pushes in its http://192.168.1.1/zCfgTryAgain.html (that kills the address I opened) it will just ignore it? [18:51] angels: less chance of losing all your data if something goes wrong, also much easier to handle reinstalls etc [18:51] that allows you to easily reinstall and keep all your home untouched [18:51] is there a way to predetermine at least the driver with /etc/modprobe.conf like we would in centos so that it comes out as onboard0, onboard1, 10g0, 10g1 being eth0,eth1,eth2 and eth3? [18:51] ldiamond MrElendig - I am in the Installer. It won't let me go forward. Says missing root. Need to create one from Partition menu... I don't see one [18:51] salmiak: try setting your dns to your real dns instead of your router [18:51] angels, you have to select a partition and mark it as '/' [18:51] angels make a partition with / [18:51] or do I have to create script magic to add the missing one in there myself? [18:51] ldiamond: or simply try what happens if you in gnome and then switch surface to unity [18:52] install in gnome** [18:52] angels: what is your existing layout, and do you have data you want to keep on any of the partitions? [18:52] DasEi, can't right click on the panels in Unity, doesn't do anything for me [18:52] Hello I have a problem, hdparm -tT displays all my drives as running reaaaally slow, Ive switched raid controllers and now I dont know what to do.. [18:52] as its still the same :-/ [18:52] ldiamond: log into gnome, I can sow you there, may that integrates in unity, too [18:53] DasEi, what do you mean? [18:53] what is ubuntu server like? Does it have a full blown desktop environment or is it cli only? [18:53] MrWobz: try other parameters of hdparm (carefull!) to see things like dma, modes, whatever [18:53] ClientAlive, CLI only [18:53] MrElendig: how do I that? set the dns to something but still have the network settings on dhcp [18:53] perfect [18:53] ClientAlive, you can install the desktop environment though [18:54] MrElendig ldiamond - it is a blank 1TB. I formatted 400GB to ext4, which is sitting in the middle of the drive. I need to mark the 400GB partition with / from which program? [18:54] ClientAlive, turns it into desktop :s [18:54] I could install awesome window manager then eh? [18:54] hmm, my kde/qt apps all seem to have microscopic fonts now since upgrading to 11.10. i tried make it to the font config for kde, but it too unreadable to use. removing ~/.kde didn't help either. ideas? [18:54] ldiamond: switch to classic gnome, install there and see if it occurs in unity, too then [18:54] i needs my k3b and friends! :) [18:54] DasEi, I'll give it a shot === mh0- is now known as mh0 [18:54] angels: if it is totally blank then I suggests this: [18:54] ldiamond: do you happen to know if it can install to efi? [18:54] DasEi, however that would be the most awful user interface....\ [18:54] salmiak: I'm using ubuntu10.04LTS btw === robinsmidsrod is now known as iPXE|robin [18:55] I'm trying to learn bash scripting and i'm trying to run a simple hello world, but I get no display. named the file .sh and ran as executable [18:55] angels: 100 mb /boot, 20gb /, 2xram swap and the rest for /home [18:55] ClientAlive, no idea [18:55] ok [18:55] thx man [18:55] angels: asuming you are not going to dualboot anything on that disk [18:55] ldiamond: I like ubuntu and gdm in debian for me, too [18:55] I prefur classic gnome over unity... :-/ but then I prefur lxde over all so [18:55] angels: and use gpt :) [18:55] ldiamond: lubuntu even [18:55] Guest48766, does your file start with #!/bin/bash ? [18:55] Guest48766: ask in #bash please [18:55] ldiamond yeah [18:56] DasEi, my current install is from xubuntu, I didn't like so installed gnome. [18:56] guntbert, how do i get there [18:56] MrElendig - I can dual boot 2 Linux (or Windows & Linux) at same time? I was told that's not possible [18:56] ldiamond: same way for xubu as in gnome [18:56] Guest48766: /join #bash [18:56] angels: you can have a menu to choose which to boot at start [18:56] angels: you can't really run both at the same time [18:57] MrElendig - where am I supposed to put in those items you mentioned? [18:57] hi, please does anyone have a pci-e usb 3.0 card installed? i'm trying to find out why my pci-e isn't detected. it's weird because the leds of the usb sticks i attach to it flash like when they're being read, but the os doesn't recognize them. tried comparing lspci outputs before and after removing the card, and i get the same output. [18:57] angels: btw if you are going to install windows on the disk, do that first [18:57] guntbert, sry not fallowing noob [18:57] angels: and just leave some unpartitioned space to install ubuntu on === Guest79803 is now known as stol3m [18:57] if anyone with a pci-e usb 3.0 card could paste me their lspci that would be of help thanks [18:57] guntbert, thanks i got it [18:57] obiwan_: try hwinfo, finer grained, maybe gnome-devicemanager [18:58] kk thanks DasEi [18:58] MrElendig - my only concern is a Windows trojan/rootkit crossing over to Linux on the drive... that is not possible is it, even if the Windows drive is mounted? [18:58] juppiii burning kubuntu :=) on cd [18:58] angels: a trojan written for windows would not run on gnu/linux [18:58] Has anyone heard of running kvm on ubuntu server? [18:58] hey what happened to the "about ubuntu" application? i think i'm on the most recent (non-beta) version but i never both committing the version number to memory. help? [18:58] ClientAlive: yes [18:58] ClientAlive: in terms of what ? [18:59] it's perfect!! lol [18:59] DasEi, if I add in gnome classic it doesn't display in Unity. [18:59] DasEi, the Unity panel is 100% useless. [18:59] MrElendig - so I should use GParted again to add an NFTS partition first? [18:59] ldiamond: I'm overasked then, but others might know, I ask the goo-fu [18:59] angels: no [18:59] I've had a lot of probs getting a minimal system on my new box. Been 2 mos fiddling around w/ the darn thing. I need a minimal host to run kvm and then run virt guests for everything [19:00] ldiamond: there is indicator-multiload which you can use in unity (and gnome-panel with indicator-applet) [19:00] angels: if you are going to have windows on the same disk, just run the windows installer first, and just give it 100gb or whatever you need for apps+games [19:00] angels: leave the rest of the space as unpartitioned [19:00] ClientAlive I run a kvm + 12 guest setup [19:00] ldiamond: does apt-cache search indicator-sensors gives an output ? [19:01] hey there can anyone help me with my usb wireless adapter please? I'm running Backtrack 5, based on Natty I think and my adapter stopped working after putting it on monitor mode.. now I just see that lsusb sees it and rfkill as well. When trying ifconfig or iwconfig, it just blocks. I have the firmware and lsusb seems to be accurate about them. What could be the problem? [19:01] !backtrack | FKIRE02 [19:01] FKIRE02: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [19:01] FKIRE02, ask in backtrack support [19:01] DasEi, nop [19:01] actually i already have Win7 installed on a separate 80GB drive, so I don't think I'll need to put it on this 1TB. I may want to compare Ubuntu, Kubuntu, & Fedora, though [19:01] FKIRE02, /join #backtrack-linux [19:02] oh thank you :) [19:02] I tried to join #wine to ask questions about wine. Got booted immediately since it's invite-only. Where should I go to ask a question about using Wine? [19:02] DasEi, I guess I'll wait for 12.04 to be released and try to get it working then. [19:02] ldiamond: there is something around Hardware Sensors Indicator, ask again for one of the unity fans [19:02] Mathuin: their channel is #winehq [19:02] Thanks! [19:02] I actually like Kubuntu better, but I want to be able to get paid support (Ubuntu, Red Hat) as a newbie [19:03] angels: nice, but in first hand no need for it, there are plenty of help-sources [19:03] any ideas what package(s) might control or affect kde/qt fonts after upgrade to 11.10? [19:04] it is hard explaining some things over chat. I need phone support [19:05] for example, I still can't figure out the partitioning & installing. MrElendig - I am not sure how to create the 100 mb /boot, 20gb /, 2xram swap and the rest for /home [19:05] angels:herb costs, phone me, rofl [19:05] angels, ubuntu is not a company to afford that sort of support... be realistic please. this is volunteer support only, people dont get paid [19:05] paxman: err? [19:06] paxman: Canonical does offer paid support contracts. [19:06] paxman: Canonical offers paid support for Ubuntu === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [19:06] angels: if that is a concern, rather look for paid local edu, cheaper and more effective [19:07] Has anyone tried the Canonical support? Do you have to call the UK? [19:07] DasEi - you mean community college? [19:07] angels: You might have a local Linux User's Group that could provide support. [19:07] angels: and the like, I'm located in germany, we have some kind of lower grade offers here [19:08] angels, for such basic stuff as partitioning and installing paying canonical is rather silly. im sure they wouldnt refuse the money, but you should find a LUG and talk to them [19:08] i agree escott [19:08] i think i can do that without big problems i will see it tomorrow [19:09] just installing ubuntu? [19:09] Pici: adult education center ,evening classes, but it gets ot [19:09] angels: you get some books and do it the old fashioned way? works rather well [19:11] angels: i think http://tldp.org/ was/is an invaluable resource for generations of gnu/linux aficionados [19:12] Hey guys, I am using the UBuntu 12.04 final beta, and I am having difficulty getting a previously-working wireless dongle working. Has been something changed in the final beta, or is the final beta missing some things that enable this stuff to work?

[19:28] and kwrite seems to be working well tgm4883 [19:29] tgm4883: yes I can [19:29] mzcl-mn, so if it's just kate that is having the issue, probably not something specific to gnome. You might try #kubuntu as they will more likely be kate users [19:30] oh well Ill just do a fresh install ;/ [19:30] it's all can't find or can't mount, or can't stat, or input/output error [19:30] maybe I should purge and reinstall tgm4883 and if that doesn't work out I'll get to #kubuntu too [19:30] what does that mean?

For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [19:32] just installed lucid/server and it boots up to grub, and past that and then.... the monitor turns off, computer's still running, etc [19:32] when you duel boot can you use the existing windows folders to strore data from both ubuntu and windows? [19:33] 12.04 is the disk [19:33] MisterT, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support [19:33] nursedad, kinda yes, kinda no [19:34] tgm4883 van u explain?

[19:59] aantoon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:59] 3.) If you do recommend TRIM be used, how should TRIM be setup?

[20:50] waeter, yes you need to specify the MBR location [20:50] crankharder: full update/grade from init 1, reconfigure gdm btw. lightwm [20:50] lukebrannon: i think a limited group readable file/dir with no sudo/root would probably be better for the access on the remote machine (passwordless/unattended ssh keys after all) [20:50] im kinda a noob for ubuntu but how can i change from unity to gnome 3? [20:50] escott: i suppose it doesn't, but the files aren't owned by the user doing the transfer [20:50] l [20:50] exit [20:50] crankharder: additional x is a good idea [20:50] quit [20:50] close [20:50] finish? [20:50] locadmin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] Hello! How can I make the system to leave some bandwidth while downloading software packages for other internet applications? [20:50] locadmin: /part [20:51] !notunity | pingvin [20:51] pingvin: 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 [20:51] pingvin Unity is gnome3 [20:51] lukebrannon: could always make an account in the same group as the files/dirs, and skip the remote sudo, no? forgive misunderstanding, i don't know your system control/access [20:51] lukebrannon, so, put the commands in the crontab for that user. you won't be able to run any of this with sudo anyways [20:52] MonkeyDust: not exactly, unity is a shell on top of gnome3 === broc93_ is now known as Broc93 [20:52] auronandace yes, i typed enter too soon [20:52] plouffe: thanks a bunch, i'll give that a try asap :) [20:52] Does anyone have an answer to my question? [20:52] escott: thanks for the suggestion, I will rethink what I'm doing, troubled thanks as well [20:53] lukebrannon: np, and gl [20:55] polishguy94: http://www.mastershaper.org/index.php/Main_Page [20:55] ive just done ps -e | grep cron and its showing: 3707 ? 00:00:56 cron how can i see what that is? [20:55] DasEi: thanks [20:56] Advocated, its cron. what is your question. so you want to see whats in the crontab? [20:56] escott, im wondering if its my cronjob running, i started one at 9pm, and want to see if its running or stopped :S [20:57] polishguy94: This is a few years old, but it might help. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20342 [20:57] Hebram: he left [20:57] escott, is that cron as in the function of cron or a specific cron job? [20:57] Advocated, if you have a job started by cron it should appear directly in your ps aux output, but you could check pstree [20:58] escott, so ps aux | grep cron? [20:58] Advocated, crond runs as root on my system with the name "cron" [20:58] which only lists: root 3707 0.0 0.0 2140 596 ? Ss Feb02 0:56 /usr/sbin/cron [20:58] Advocated, if your crontab lists /my/executable then ps aux | grep "/my/executable" should show your process [20:59] and root 6478 0.0 0.0 2888 820 pts/1 S+ 21:57 0:00 grep cron [20:59] Advocated: tried greppng your logs to see if/when it ran? [20:59] so my cron should run a .php file, its not showing that [20:59] troubled, what log? [20:59] syslog prolly [20:59] although it probably gets logged to a few diff spots [21:00] ie: grep CRON /var/log/syslog [21:00] Advocated, then see if php is running [21:01] troubled, syslog shows only Apr 20 21:00:01 router /USR/SBIN/CRON[32375]: (root) CMD (/usr/bin/php -c /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini /var/www/ed.php [21:01] is it possible to start ubuntu in recovery to write to a read only disk ? [21:01] MrWobz, why is the disk read only? [21:01] Advocated: is ed.php the file you expected it to run? [21:02] troubled, yeah but it should have sent loads of emails, it didnt, so i think it crashed or stopped or something, i just want to know if its died, or still runnning :S [21:02] escott ive had slow drives.. and dmesg has shown that [ 4.701775] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem [21:02] Advocated, if you have a file name "somescript.php" with #!/bin/php in the first line then you should look for /usr/bin/hp -c /path/to/somescript.php [21:02] then it says [ 4.701775] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem [21:02] [ 4.701781] EXT4-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery [21:02] [ 4.722534] EXT4-fs (sda1): recovery complete [21:02] Advocated: looks like it ran. mail may have just been sent to root instead of your user though, dunno, depends on lots of things [21:03] [ 4.701775] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem [21:03] [ 4.701781] EXT4-fs (sda1): write access will be enabled during recovery [21:03] [ 4.722534] EXT4-fs (sda1): recovery complete [21:03] [ 4.722692] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null) [21:03] [ 6.139917] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: discard,errors=remount-ro [21:03] MrWobz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:03] Hwdy :3 Any ffmpeg dude round here? [21:03] MrWobz, so you need to boot either the livecd or to recovery and run fsck on the device [21:03] troubled, so its ran, but now not running now? [21:03] sokak, whats the question [21:03] Advocated: if it were still running, you would see a php in the process list [21:03] !fsck | MrWobz [21:03] MrWobz: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:03] ah ok, perfect, thanks troubled and thankes escott [21:04] hey bazhang, im trying to demux some mkv to avi to be viewed on a home theater, but i cant manage to produce something with audio. The source has a double audio stream with subs. [21:05] hey guys, do any of you know how to change ubuntu orange color to another one [21:05] sokak, avi to m4v? mkv to m4v? [21:05] escott and ubottu Is it because my drives are running in a recovery mode ? that hdparm is slow ?

[21:06] MrWobz, MrWobz if the drive is read only just run sudo fsck /dev/sdX# [21:06] bazhang, cheap dvd player at my home ;) i want to see em without the computer [21:06] sokak, whats the home theater player by the way [21:06] MrWobz: ubottu is a bot btw ;) [21:07] bazhang, a no name no brand cheap 20 bucks thing ^^ But can play avis, but refuses mkv [21:07] sokak, why not use devede to make the avi into a dvd player readable disc [21:07] sokak, can it play m4v [21:07] escott thanks, I read if I do a forcefsk on reboot ill need to type a password in before boot [21:08] bazhang, the point is that i would like to try to make a simple container change, trying to preserve the double audio (there is in fact an audio button on the remote, and i would like to see if works :)) [21:08] @bazhang I mean the color when you select something, the scroll bar color etc.. [21:08] sokak: are you sure AVI can support multiple audio streams? [21:08] bazhang, i guess not, it has only opened avi files til now (yes, some with h.264) [21:08] devede converts and makes dvd video disk iso files. it dosent really play stuff. ;) [21:08] hey, anyone know how to minimize a window from the command-line? [21:08] zykotick9, i want to try to see if works ;) [21:09] sokak, ok, not sure about how ffmpeg woudl do that, I usually use handbrake for most of that, there may well be a ffmpeg channel for more expert opinions; /msg alis list **ffmpeg* should reveal any [21:09] does anyone know if there's a way to create raid and lvm during an ubuntu server install? I mean, is it available during the installation? [21:09] graft: you can probably do so with wmctrl [21:09] bazhang, zykotick9, til now i managed to map the audio and video streams, i dont know how to "encode" subs [21:09] bazhang, thx for the info :) [21:09] Guest307: I Think the anternative cd installer has that feature. [21:10] night all. [21:10] jrib: nein, wmctrl has a way to add the 'hidden' state to a window, but that doesn't do anything [21:11] Dr_Willis_Testin: is that an option on the server install disk or you talking about a completely different install source? [21:11] Guest307: he left, but it sounded like a different iso image === yashshah_ is now known as yashshah [21:12] It sounded like that to me too. troubled: I don't know what I have to do to get what I need. Seems like something missing every corner I turn. [21:12] Guest307, the alternate cd [21:12] graft: I'd be pretty surprised if wmctrl couldn't minimize windows, are you sure? [21:13] !alternate | Guest307 [21:13] Guest307: 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 [21:13] bazhang: is there actually a difference between alternate and serve ISOs re: lvm/raid? Guest307 [21:13] Guest307: no idea, i use debian on servers at home here, havent used ubuntu. but if your iso has the pv/vg/lv LVM tools and mdadm, you could do it by hand I guess [21:13] I'm trying to do server install, not live cd [21:14] zykotick9, I've used alternate not server, so cant really answer there === Auriel__ is now known as Auriel [21:14] !raid | Guest307 [21:14] Guest307: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [21:15] hmm. Ok, well I'll see what I can do. A guy would think that's possible, given it's a sever system/ software. [21:15] how do I monitor lm-sensors - there's a command to simply run lm-sensors and refresh it every second or so [21:15] I can't remember what it is though [21:15] thx ubottu [21:15] !cookie | ubottu [21:15] zykotick9: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [21:15] zykotick9: :) [21:15] troubled: didn't work like i'd hoped ;) [21:16] graft: you might also try xdotool [21:16] what is the shortcut to open the taskmanager to kill a task? [21:17] angs: there is no such shortcut by default [21:17] taskmanager? [21:17] whats that?

[21:32] hello [21:33] anyone there? [21:33] * fisix hello [21:33] is this thing working? [21:33] Ammar_, yes [21:33] * fisix nothing works [21:33] great :D [21:34] Guest307: the text installers (server,alternative,mini) are a lot closer to d-i (debian installer) and typically support more hardware (expecially storage devices/schemes)... [21:34] I wanted to ask a question about installation of ubuntu [21:34] Ammar_, ask away [21:34] I have a HP G62 laptop [21:34] I want to install ubuntu on it. [21:34] but not via wubi [21:35] instead I want to install it over my windows 7 partation [21:35] Ammar_: try to put your comments on one line. I'm sending you !enter after this. [21:35] zykotick9: so the server install is generally a gui with less functionality than the text mode? [21:35] !enter > Ammar_ [21:35] Ammar_, please see my private message [21:35] troubled: server -> gui... what? it's all text, install and running ;) [21:36] oh sorry. leme type the entire thing. [21:36] troubled: GUIs on servers make NO sense to me ;) [21:36] zykotick9: oh, sorry I guess I misread. sounded like you were implying the server instead had a GUI installer version too (not GUI server itself) [21:37] Ammar_, unless you're hurting for disk space, i'd suggest shrinking the Windows partition and keeping it (it could be useful if you have to send it in for repairs) [21:37] troubled: the non-gui installers support more filesystem/storage device options - was my point ;) [21:37] zykotick9: gotcha. sorry, im slow some days ;) that and I havent actually tried ubuntu server before, but thought about it and was curious [21:39] I have HP G62 laptop. it currently has windows 7 installed on it. It also has 4 partitions. C:\, HP_Tools, Recovery, System. I want to overwrite the partition C:\ where my windows is installed. The question here is, if I overwrite it, will I be able to restore windows from the recovery? [21:40] Ammar_: i did similar on a desktop with ubuntu and just blew away C. worked fine, and grub had menu item to start the "windows" partition which was the system recovery (which did run fine) [21:40] Ammar_, have you made recovery disc(s) just in case? [21:40] Oh and if I overwrite it, will my other partitions get effected? [21:41] yes I have a recovery disc [21:41] Ammar_: i can't help you - but want to point something out. default ubuntu install requires 2 partitions (/ and swap) if you have 4 primary partitions (the limit in most cases) you have an issue. [21:41] always a good idea in case the recovery partition has a problem in the future [21:41] also might be good to make file iso's of those recovery disks too and save them on a hd [21:41] the HP came with 4 partitions. [21:42] Ammar_, then use all space, recovery disc can restore your windows as it came from factory [21:42] a lot of people in your position delete the HP Tools partition then shrink the C: drive in Windows then install Ubuntu in the resulting free space [21:42] in logical partitions [21:43] Ammar_: I think you only actually need the recovery partition, since it would restore the OS and the tools partition, but don't quote me since I havent actually tested [21:43] I actually made a system repair disc. is that the recovery disk? [21:43] Ammar_: my machine is an HP desktop too, if that means much [21:43] No!!! you need to make recovery dvd(s) too [21:44] there is usually a program on there that will do it. Verify the write too and make more than one set of discs [21:44] ya, they should specifically be called "recovery" and be like 2 - 4 dvd's depending on the age of the box (vista vs win7 for example) [21:45] my HP did not ship with any recovery disk. [21:45] I would just replace the HD, that way you don't have to worry about the windows stuff [21:45] a repair disc is only a couple hundred meg. A recovery set can be one or two dvd's [21:45] Ammar_: most dont ship with them these days it seems. sad really :( [21:46] that's why there is usually a program on there that will make them [21:46] !party [21:46] Please remember that #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #xubuntu, and #edubuntu are support channels. To countdown to !Precise release and then party once it happens, join #ubuntu-release-party - For in-person parties, see http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1598/detail/ [21:46] Possible in the recovery section [21:46] so after making a recovery disk, can I simply format the entire harddrive and install ubuntu? [21:46] !Precise [21:46] 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 [21:47] and if I want to restore windows, can I use that same disk? [21:47] Ammar_: pretty much ya. but i would back up those dvd's to files asap. dvd's have a way of dying when you need them :) [21:47] 26 April :) [21:47] Ammar_: You still have your personal data to worry about. Make sure you copy it off your drive before you destroy you partitions. [21:48] yes. I usually make 2 sets of them - and always verify the data [21:48] par2 is great if you back them up to files as well. don't want a pesky bad sector to ruin your day! [21:48] alright I think I got it :D [21:49] Definately verify. The recovery disk maker that came with my Lenovo expires after you write one set. [21:49] Ammar_: one last thing; don't forget to actually test boot the dvds. and if you are gonna just wipe the drive, try a test recover [21:50] So all I need to do is create a recovery disk, make the entire backup of all my files, use ubuntu to clear my partitions and install it on my harddisk [21:50] I'm sharing my 3G connection via Ubuntu's hotspot wifi thing as an ad-hoc wifi connection... is there a way for me to see a list of devices that are connected to me right now? [21:50] yep [21:50] Ammar_: and to test discs, backups and recovery process, but ya :) [21:51] I'm using "grep -r 'background' .css" to try and find the KW 'background' within .css files [21:51] what am i missing here? [21:51] Ammar_: And be prepared to destroy your recovery disk after you love your transition to Linux. [21:51] delinquentme, there's no file called ".css" [21:51] delinquentme: like: grep -R background *.css? [21:51] hehe :P [21:51] delinquentme, you should give the directory as an argument if you want it to recurse through something with the -r, or even '*.css' [21:51] balleyne: iwlist wlan0 peers [21:52] grep: *.css: No such file or directory [21:52] I also wanted to ask few more things such as [21:52] delinquentme, are the CSS files in your current directory? Or are they in subdirectories? [21:52] grep -r background *.css >> grep: *.css: No such file or directory [21:52] sub dirs [21:52] what is the difference between speed of wubi and the actual installed ubuntu [21:52] thats what i thought -r does? [21:52] well, unless it doesn't match the glob in the current dir [21:53] grep -r background *, would though, but would also match other stuff too [21:53] delinquentme, -r recurses through subdirectories of the argument you gave it [21:53] delinquentme, but you gave it "*.css" [21:53] or could try: find ./ -type f -name *.css -exec grep background "{}" \; [21:53] delinquentme, unless "*.css" is the name of your directory, grep will not recurse through anything [21:54] delinquentme: find . -iname "*.css" | grep -i "background" [21:54] delinquentme, you want something like: grep -r 'background' css/ [21:54] Hi alll, I have this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1962238 [21:54] delinquentme, or grep -r 'background' public_html/ [21:54] what is the difference between speed of wubi and the actual installed ubuntu [21:54] delinquentme, where css/ or public_html is the name of the directory you want grep to recursively check [21:54] this is complex huh? [21:54] ill just feed it a dir thanks [21:54] depends :) just 1000 ways to do it hehe [21:54] delinquentme: not if you use the right tool [21:55] well I'm sitting here needing to pipe things around to find something within a type of file? [21:55] delinquentme: welcome to unix :) [21:55] :) [21:55] thats dumb [21:56] delinquentme: dont use it [21:56] theres a search tool but from the little bit i used grep I really liked it .. super fast too [21:56] delinquentme, you're using grep wrong. no need to pipe through find. just give grep a path that actually exists, and it'll recursively grep it [21:56] violinappren, find . -iname "*.css" | grep -i "background" << that gave me nada [21:56] delinquentme: you could do like you had too with globs that start with a dir that knowingly has css files too like: grep -r background ./{dira,dirb}/*.css [21:56] delinquentme: what was the find command give without piping to grep? [21:57] if you were going to pipe find output to anything, you probably want to send it to something like xargs though [21:57] hi i tried to install grub manually. are the commands "grub-install somedevice" and "update-grub" sufficient to make it bootable [21:57] violinappren, so the idea is use find to locate the CSS files [21:58] then pipe the files into grep to search? [21:58] balleyne, is there a way to recurse through every sub dir of the current dir to find "background" within a .css file? [21:58] you don't need to do that, just do a recursive grep from the ./ dir [21:58] delinquentme: just try this: find ./ -type f -name *.css -exec grep -Hi background "{}" \; [21:59] change -name to -iname, if you have some files as .CSS and .css (ie: mixed case) [21:59] I need help [21:59] grep "background" -r ./ *.css [21:59] thatll do! [21:59] delinquentme, `grep -r background .` will recurse through every sub dir of the current dir and return 'background within *any* file [22:00] poor guy hehe [22:00] Hi all, I need help for fix this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1962238 [22:00] balleyne, so yeah i was just looking for a way to structure the query .. so now I'ma just do grep [22:01] delinquentme, don't think that'll work... to use and at the end... grep will just go through those both as a list of paths, try to recursively search the first, then the second [22:02] balleyne, i like that solution :D [22:02] does anyone know a simpler way to write this bash script? http://pastie.org/3825216 [22:02] aww, does that mean balleyne gets the cookie? ;) [22:03] I couldn't do for x in ${var}{1..2}; do [22:03] how do i get and external vga to work on 10.4?

[22:48] can anyone help me with where I could find a setting to specify how long it takes before my lcd dims to save battery life? I just got a new laptop and after only ~10 seconds of idle time the screen dims to nearly dark to save on battery. This means that if I want to read more than a sentance or two I need to keep moving the mouse just to ensure the screen doesn't go dark [22:48] Sach: http://www.gimptalk.com/index.php?/topic/43637-does-gimp-have-an-auto-save-option/ [22:49] omwubnt, that depends on your graphics environment [22:49] kde/gnome or some other stuff..

Im sorry [22:54] I have to say I'm quite impressed with 12.04 so far [22:55] dreamwave, ok, thanks for the help [22:55] dreamwave, if you try it out make sure to use the daily build version not the official beta if you have raid [22:55] i dont [22:55] how do I upgrade from 11.10 to the latest ? [22:56] raid is a disaster on the official beta of 12.04 in every single version I could find, but raid worked fantastic with the daily build, it even picked up and installed on an nvraid hardware raid0 [22:56] nah ..

[23:01] **the computer has an ethernet port, but Ubuntu Server 11.10 doesn't seem to see it [23:03] yjacket: i'd probably see if ifconfig -a shows anything (implying it isn't active/configured), or if nothing there, maybe dmesg and syslog [23:03] thanks troubled, let me try those [23:03] yjacket: no promises though. the fact that it isn't configured doesn't sound promising :) [23:04] how many drivers does ubuntu have for ethernet cards [23:04] built in === elijah is now known as Guest99527 [23:05] troubled: I see it with the -a command [23:05] !netsplit [23:05] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[23:09] optikx: man [23:09] troubled: ok, ill try that, [23:10] optikx: manpages are most useful for reference. Not reallhy for leaning the command to start with...at least until you're experienced at reading them [23:10] optikx: I wonder if your interface is up. Try sudo ifconfig eth0 up.
