[00:08] ankman: yeah [00:08] yeah, point it to google.com or something, see if theres a proxy inbetween you and your target, but Ankmans idea is better, so do that first [00:12] INIT: version 2.88 reloading... here it goes...

[00:19] I was wandering if it would be ok to go ahead and already install Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop instead of waiting for it to officially be released in 5days. Would I get into any particular problem? [00:19] ok the find delete didnt work… [00:20] I need to recursivly search for an .AppleDouble in all my network location, and eradicare it… .AppleDouble is a directory… [00:20] @ carroarmato0 as long as you have good backups of everything and anything important [00:20] ms daisy [00:20] yakster: i told you how :/ [00:21] ms daisy you are so beautiful [00:21] hemicuda, stop that [00:21] yeah… did that… but .AppleDouble is a directory… it will nto delete [00:21] carroarmato0: should be no problem. but i would wait. a clean install might be better, just in case [00:21] ms-daisy: I do backup everything incrementally on an external drive [00:21] lol [00:21] you again [00:21] plus, it's more exciting to wait. just like before christmas ;-) [00:21] Ankman: yeah, I tend to like clean installs [00:21] hehe :D [00:21] yakster: it should... === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [00:21] !who | yakster [00:21] yakster: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[00:22] jrib: directory is nto empty [00:23] under /media/Goflex/ I want to eradicate all .AppleDouble ont eh nas drive [00:23] the -r is recursive delete right jrib?

[00:24] jrib: ok, "find -name .AppleDouble -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r" [00:24] jrib: before i use xargs to delete, i replace "rm" with 'ls" to see what would happen [00:25] yakster: see Ankman's advice [00:25] thx all: [00:26] what is the -print0 [00:26] yakster: it's to handle whitespace issues [00:26] ok [00:26] anyone know why rtl8187 usb wifi is soo slow? [00:27] jrib: so "find -name .AppleDouble -print0 | xargs -0 rm -r" is correct [00:27] yakster maybe.

I'd like it a lot more if I could. Right now it's small compared to the rest of my screen and ideally I'd like it to be the size of my monitor's native res. [00:53] Is anyone here [00:53] edward_: yes, I know... but this will be an app installed to /opt, it does not have a .deb package... so I need to "mimic" whatever apt does regarding manpages [00:53] I have a question and not sure where to ask. About port groups. For example: I have ports 25,110,143,465,585,587,993,995 as email ports. I would like to define the whole 65535 (a lot of dynamic ports). Anyone interested in helping out? [00:53] I googled around but it only showed how to change the icon sizes and that's not what I want. [00:54] how do i have the menu bar be visible all the time instead of only when i hover? [00:54] same question as booi for me? [00:55] edward_: for example, regarding .desktop and icon files I know that there is no need for a trigger.. there is a daemon (gnome's maybe?) that scans for new entries in /usr/share/applications and automatically adds them to the menu... is there such a thing for manpages?

I don't even know the right place to put it... should I put in /usr/share/man and run a trigger that will gzip and place to ./man1 for me, or should I manually move a gziped one to /usr/share/man/man1 ? [00:58] MestreLion: There are a lot of subdirectories to /usr/share/man I believe. Also, you will have to apply the correct permissions and tar it up in a (.gz ?) file.

[01:01] bobo37773: what I know is that in the end it will be /usr/share/man/man1/myapp.gz , like all the others... but I don't know how to get there;;; if I need to move the text file to /usr/share/man/myapp.1 and let a trigger (man-db perhaps?) do the job of zipping and moving to man1 [01:01] i'm looking for interrogated graphics that has open drivers thats amd witch is the best preference with out the hassle but at least new age [01:03] red_, choose from the certified list >> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ [01:03] okay [01:03] thanks [01:03] MestreLion: try to just copy it as /usr/share/man/man1/myapp.1.gz Make sure the permissions are correct based on the other man pages there. Then run man myapp. If it doesn't work just rm the file. No big deal. Oh I see what you mean. Try to gz it yourself and dump it in there. Or copy an existing man page and look inside to see if there is any special sytax changes you need to make. [01:04] ok bobo37773 .. I will try it then... I wish there were some official docs about it, so we don't need to trial-and-error [01:05] MestreLion: What fun would that be? :p [01:06] MestreLion: Looks like there are a bunch of tutorials online. [01:07] bobo37773: I couldn't find *any* for manual install. all say either "apt-get install manpages" or "use dh_man" [01:07] neither one is my case [01:08] MestreLion: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/System/creatingman.htm [01:08] MestreLion: yawn. https://encrypted.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=creating+man+pages+linux [01:09] MestreLion: :p [01:09] bobo37773: I could not find a single one that says: "move to /usr/share/man/myapp.1 and run man-db, it will gzip it and move to ./man1", or "gzip it and move to /usr/share/man/man1/myapp.1.gz" [01:09] it is possible to load the entire live cd uncompressed in the ram ?

[01:36] hi i am using rsync with --stats and --progress options, it started shown in verbose info like (xfer#5252005, to-check=16492/11211909), could any one please let me know what does that mean? [01:42] haz3lnut, I have noticed that remastersys uses a bit of gpu and cpu that may be problem depending on your setup. [01:44] hrm [01:44] im trying to debug pm-suspend. I found "Magic number: 8:146:509" in my dmesg after rebooting.. dont see anything resembling it [01:47] Fyodorovna: you mean the dist that it backs up will "hardcode" some gpu/cpu info that will prevent it from being installed on another box? [01:48] on the downloads why is the 32 bit recommended? [01:50] and how many people here are using the mubi windows installer? [01:51] is it better to run from a clean install? [01:52] that's all personal choice Zyith [01:53] haz3lnut, no it just used a lot of those services running on my setup. [01:53] I have only used ubuntu once for a few weeks. I want to get back into it. I have 4 hdd that I could install to. I just was wondering about the speed of running inside windows [01:53] slower in windows [01:54] how can I avoid typing `xrdb .Xresources` everytime I log in? [01:54] Zyith: 32 bit recommended because for some reason, some vendors (ahem, adobe, cough) have trouble making 64 bit code. You can run the 32 bit programs on your 64 bit box, but you actually have to fix it so it will work (ie, install 32 bit libs) [01:54] Hi everybody! [01:55] hello ram [01:55] cool thanks Haz3lnut [01:57] Very sorry for my english, but I have a little question about Ubuntu 12.04... i'm a "semi-newbie" and I want to install 12.04... but the final release will be available the 26 april. But if I install the 12.04 beta, does i will able to only update from the beta to the final? [01:57] !beta | Rambytes [01:57] Rambytes: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. [01:58] Zyith: if you have 4 gb or less of ram, you should run 32 bit. if you want to take advantage of more than 4gb ram run 64 bit.

[02:01] ken_os: maybe you got a particular program making it not so simple, but for the most part it is that simple. [02:01] from downloads folder on my user on centos into system32 folder [02:02] ken_os: use drag/drop for whole files. [02:03] i think i tried that but i didn't tried enough [02:03] i will try [02:03] copy/paste is for text, not files...or it should be anyway. [02:03] i just have to put 3 dll files into system32 [02:03] i downloaded them on desktop now i have to put them there [02:05] SO I thought I had the arduino IDE installed .. is there anyway to search through my ubuntu installation to find out if its hidden somewhere? [02:12] hi good day guys, does anyone know how I can lockdown the preference for google-chrome? [02:12] delinquentme: how did you install it? [02:12] ken_os: Assuming you have a standard wine install, in a terminal type: cp ~/Desktop/*.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 [02:13] in firefox it's too easy /etc/firefox/prefs/firefox.js [02:13] so this will copy/paste everything that is dll [02:13] i get it but wait a sec [02:17] Question, what if there is any photo editing program for Ubuntu that converts TIFF format into JPG/JPEG format/s? thanks [02:18] underclock: gimp [02:18] Ah, thanks [02:18] haz3lnut: yup that is that [02:18] ken_os: good deal [02:18] IaOra, good evening or morning to everyone.... Still having hash file errors, and the ISP is claiming it is problems in the USA, is there any way for me to check and see exactly what or where the problem is.....

[02:20] Once the final release comes out on th 26th how does the transition from beta2 work? Should I do a clean install or is there gonna be an update option? [02:21] underclock, I have been running gimp for about 8 years and have found it is not only a superb editor, but the price is really really reasonable also [02:21] how do I install a .deb from command line?

[02:34] ken_os: drag/drop should be that simple, but I don;t know if centos uses nautilus, gnome, or what. It could put wine in a different folder, who knows? I use Ubuntu. [02:34] ken_os: welcome.

(japanese and chinese inputs both function well.) [02:42] can I store files on ext3 or ext4 fs with caracters of Ñáé [02:43] characters of which? [02:44] those caracters [02:44] Ñáé [02:45] FernandoCueva: not sure, but perhaps http://www.google.com/search?q=ext4+character+encoding [02:45] FernandoCueva: for me, that shows up as two pyramids with ? in the middle of each - i assume that's unicode characters on my latin1 terminal [02:46] if I format a partition from fat32 to ntfs will I lose all data? [02:46] yes [02:46] how to change fs without loosing data [02:47] backup -->format --> restore [02:47] you cant [02:47] not possible [02:47] you have to back up the data, then format, then restore [02:47] no other method [02:48] FernandoCueva: that google search suggests the disk doesn't need to know what encoding you're using, so long as your terminal encoding is set correctly. i.e. using `locale` and the control panel in your graphical environment [02:49] is there any tools for generating colored diff HTML report?

[02:56] .org [02:57] Just wondering, is there a difference between gnome-shell and gnome? :S [02:58] ajnr: for pangolin support /join #ubuntu+1 [02:58] Mayazcherquoi: well the name says it itself, is just a shell for gnome [02:58] gnome-shell is a desktop environment for gnome 3 [02:58] Mayazcherquoi: as unity is another shell for gnome [02:59] Oh okay. Because I read that GNOME 3.4 has been released, and wasn't quite sure what to do. [02:59] ajnr, does your xserver crash? [03:00] Mayazcherquoi: you could wait until 12.04 comes out next week, which has gnome 3.4 [03:01] trism: Oh okay. Might as-well. === undefined is now known as Guest363 [03:01] Sorry, just that I got confused because all of the reviews for the gnome package have "omg, it's so much better than Unity" in the Ubuntu Software Centre. [03:01] Lint01, no it just logout only , i dint see anything more. how to know tht ? [03:02] Mayazcherquoi: they are both available, so try them and see which you like [03:03] whats the dmesg command to list all USBs ( and only usbs ) [03:04] Mayazcherquoi, I don´t know, it looks and feels exactly like unity [03:04] delinquentme: dmesg | grep usb [03:07] what fs is more compatible in terms of caracter set ntfs or ext3 [03:08] is there a quick method to create a mount point and mount a disk? === Karmaon is now known as pho||| === pho||| is now known as Karmaon [03:10] test [03:10] what would be a good linux distro for an xbox? o.O [03:11] 360 [03:11] elite [03:11] good linux distro will not run on 512 MB RAM [03:12] Lint01: hmm indeed [03:12] what fs is more compatible in terms of caracter set ntfs or ext3 [03:12] has more character support ext4 or ntfs === NaN is now known as Guest23466 [03:15] FernandoCueva, they are invariant [03:15] all filesystems just store bytes which have no meaning [03:15] whats the command line command for the current user?

[03:32] |Anthony|: better to disable that imho. esp if there's more than one person with root privileges [03:32] <|Anthony|> does that setting effect sudoers in any way? [03:33] <|Anthony|> WilsonBradley, vlc [03:33] <|Anthony|> WilsonBradley, do you mean .avi?

[03:38] ^sorry that [03:39] <|Anthony|> S4L, is that not an option during install? === DaZ is now known as usr_bin_env_bash [03:41] Anthony, no, ext432, several other journaling, and fats, all repeated 4 times (this is Kubuntu disc BTW) [03:42] <|Anthony|> i usually partition my drive before going into the install dialogue [03:43] S4L: you may have to install somethhing line ntfsprogs or something [03:43] *like [03:43] was mainly trying to streamline having all of them mount on boot by doing it during install. All the necessary partitions are in place just fine. [03:43] <|Anthony|> S4L, try using the live cd to partition your drive first, then proceed to the install... [03:44] wylde, i was trying to avoid the mkdir part, i.e. something automatic, i suppose i just have to write my own script [03:44] <|Anthony|> S4L, if you are still unable to select these partitions during install to set mount points, you might need to edit fstab after installation [03:44] what I was hoping to avoid :-) [03:44] <|Anthony|> fstab isn't a big deal to edit [03:45] I know, but it's annoying when I think there's a quicker, cleaner way and there isn't [03:45] ah well, I'll live [03:45] <|Anthony|> well... [03:45] <|Anthony|> maybe something [03:45] <|Anthony|> idk if this will work, but [03:46] <|Anthony|> run the live cd, see if you are able to partition the drives first... there might be a .so or lib file you need to install to manage those partitions.

[04:02] callmeabc: make sure to install the sun version of java [04:02] oi [04:03] Amdpc: never used it, but I think there is a network-manager-cli you can install. iwconfig is there too, but that is a different beast [04:03] ttfn [04:03] thank you ChogyDan, [04:03] pours [sauce] on [redacted] [04:06] so I'm trying to get my arduino IDE setup to write out the the tty/ACM0 slot ... but it happens that that item doesnt exist in /home/dev/ unless the USB is plugged in === ManiaC is now known as Guest64034 === surfsue is now known as surfdue === Guest64034 is now known as Biker-Boy [04:09] any girls in da room? xD [04:10] Biker-Boy: Ubottu is cute.

[04:26] but i can't do the reverse [04:26] when i try to log on in finder to see my linux box, it tells me "it's not allowing more connections" === jlf is now known as Guest59436 [04:26] I *CAN* transfer via the commandline "scp" [04:26] but i can't browse using finder [04:27] what do i have to setup to allow this to work .. [04:27] it's nearly there [04:27] jamjam, you should check the sharing section of Mac System Preferences. [04:29] [04:29] @TehCraw I think your on ceti331's question? [04:29] Yeah, sorry about that [04:29] ^^ [04:30] hi [04:30] What, specifically are you trying to set up? SSH? [04:31] i thinkso .. "SFTP" ; i can use scp commandline to move files already [04:31] nautilus can see the mac , it says its SFTP [04:31] when i try the reverse, logging on, the mac tells me "this server will not allow any more connections" [04:32] [04:32] KK [04:32] Can anyone help a noobie empty the trash when the Empty Trash button won't do it? [04:33] Kill it with fire! [04:33] Guest59436: you have to hit that button with a much larger hammer than you're using..... you'll lose a monitor, but the trash will be empty [04:33] or at least you won't be able to see that it's not ;) [04:33] LOL, vector [04:34] hi. ubuntu shuts down unexpectedly at random (a proper shutdown out of no where). how can i begin to get to the root of this? [04:35] ok definitely got the share name right now.. its always saying the server (this linux box) isn't allowing more connections. I can't find a panel that controls this [04:35] Is it a notebook? [04:36] DreamWave: me? [04:36] Yes [04:36] yes it is [04:36] Is it hot as hell? [04:36] nonono.. it properly shuts down on its own [04:36] it goes through an actual shutdown [04:37] after update to 11.10 mouse an keyboard doesn't work. any idea? [04:37] just... at random [04:37] ceti331: You may have to try Googling this one. I dunno what the problem is here. :S [04:37] ok its strange. GUI works read/write one way (nautilus), scp works from both 2ways [04:38] the linux box actually feeling slicker than the mac at the minute [04:39] Let me see if I can go linux to linux.. [04:39] Sorry, installation of this driver failed. [04:39] Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [04:40] is SFTP the right option for a home LAN ? [04:40] does any one know how to fix it ? ? [04:40] Sorry, installation of this driver failed. [04:40] Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log [04:40] up till now i've only used USB sticks, dropbox , and sometimes BZR (bzr server) to move between machines [04:41] ceti331: Assuming you're password protected, on both the computers and network, I dont see a problem with it. WEP networks are easy to crack though, so use at your own risk. [04:41] ceti331: SFTP is fine; scp might be easier on a LAN [04:41] WEP=wireless? [04:41] Right [04:42] i'm a complete networking n00b [04:42] asim: use pastbin to show us some of the log. The error is pretty generic you are reporting [04:42] WEP is a type of network password [04:42] i've only used windows machines at work with a lan all setup by someone else [04:42] ok the WEP keys for wireless .. i've used that [04:42] iedally i would like each machine setup READ ONLY [04:43] .. but able to copy on one from anywhere else in my home [04:43] Might try bluetooth file transfer, too. It can be pretty slick, although a little slow. === macmartine_ is now known as macmartine [04:44] its a bit sad when one finds Dropbox over the internet easier then a lan for 2 computers next to eachother :) [04:44] although thats possibly a comment on how good dropbox etc are [04:44] LOL. Yah, but I use dropbox too. [04:44] ceti331: it's a comment on something for sure. [04:44] ubuntu one is supposed to do the same job ? and apple has 'airdrop'? [04:45] Just uploaded a screenshot of the chat software I"m making to dropbox a second ago [04:45] Never heard of airdrop before... [04:46] anyone know why pm_trace wouldnt work>? === lars_ is now known as fagju [04:46] hey [04:46] hey all... just a simple question. seems the current release of Ubuntu doesn't have support for either the latest amd a6 cpu or ati M65xx gpu drivers.... Anyone know if 12.04 will fix it and is there a Ubuntu for Windows verson? [04:46] i need to add tcp/ip port forwarding from public port 86 to 192.168.0.2 port 86...i have a motorola surfboard cable modem and have some knowledge of it if someone could tell me which settngs to change [04:46] kantlivelong: doesn't that require the dev kernel? [04:46] can someone tell me how to turn off the preview pictures in nautilus? [04:47] I gotta go. It's getting late here, and I'm getting up early tomorrow. See ya. [04:47] oops shoulda been offtopic :( [04:47] jasoncinci: unsure? [04:47] kantlivelong: you using sudo? [04:47] jasoncinci: yes. [04:48] jasoncinci: it doesnt seem to drastically change the time like its supposed to [04:48] kantlivelong: what is the error? Just nothing? [04:48] nothing [04:48] no signal [04:48] postmap: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 1: missing '=' after attribute name: "Add: [smtp.gmail.com]:587" [04:49] ZeloZelos: not sure what you want to do. Firewall in Ubuntu or looking for how to change the router? [04:49] help! [04:49] unsure why :/ [04:49] I'd like to turn off the picture preview in the listview mode in nautilus. can someone help me with that? thx [04:49] for some reason I got further setting up BZR and GIT servers than general file browsing [04:49] kantlivelong: You need to check if you have the dev kernel, libraries installed. Quick Google search will point you in the right direction. [04:49] after update to 11.10 mouse an keyboard doesn't work [04:49] there was a point where i could quite happily push/pull between my macbook, linux [04:49] any idea? [04:50] fagju: use gconf-editor [04:50] nastas: they dont' work in X or does the keyboard also not work in console mode (like.. in recovery or whatever) [04:51] jasoncinci: can you give me a hint where to look? [04:51] jasoncinci: i dont think thats the prob.. i have /sys/power/pm_trace... [04:51] fagju: a quick google search will. check apps > pref [04:51] so pm_trace is there.. [04:52] vector: in console mode it works or recovery. it just stop working in login screen [04:52] kantlivelong: possibly, but without the dev kernel, pm_trace has no library to collect data you are looking for on driver, etc. [04:52] nastas: I'm assuming you've rebooted since the upgrade? [04:52] vector: yes. [04:52] jasoncinci: all its supposed to do is store the pciid in the RTC. shouldnt need any libs [04:53] nastas: you can look for hints as to why kb/mouse isn't liked in X by looking in /var/log/Xorg.o.log [04:54] kantlivelong: sorry i couldn't be more help! Good luck in your quest! [04:54] any one help with my issue [04:54] jasoncinci: its np.. i think it might be usb3 [04:54] just an issue with a line of script [04:54] nastas: are they usb devices? if so have you tried PS2 if available / possible? [04:54] vector: paste.ubuntu.com/937168 [04:55] jasoncinci: i have try both ps2 and usb [04:55] jasoncinci: when i change /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_image_thumbnails then I wont have any previews, even in symbol view. [04:57] postmap: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 1: missing '=' after attribute name: "Add: [smtp.gmail.com]:587" [04:57] fagju: sorry thought you wanted them always gone. [04:57] wtf does this mean [04:57] jasoncinci: vector while on boot screen i can switch to console with REI and ctrl+alt+F1 [04:57] jasoncinci: :D I'll try some googling [04:58] nastas: by boot screen do you actually mean the "ubuntu" screen while it's booting or do you mean the login screen? [04:58] nastas: did you change your keyboard layout or something on the login screen? [04:58] vector: i mean the screen that my password is reguested [04:58] jasoncinci: no i didn't [04:59] nastas: also does the mouse work on that screen? [04:59] damn.. that was my next question :( [04:59] jasoncinci: no. mouse is also "dead" [04:59] nastas: on the login screen? or X session or both. [04:59] jasoncinci: kb works on his console [05:00] but not X [05:00] that's right [05:00] or.. at least at the login screen he can ctrl-alt-F1 to get to the console... but (and I'm assuming this one) can't type in a password on the login screen (?) [05:01] vector: that's excactly what is happening [05:02] this is going to sound stupid.. but have you tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in on another usb port? [05:02] nastas: something in your xorg.conf possibly. Use the console to login, and remove it (rename not delete probs) and X should recreate on restart / login [05:02] vector: i can't type my pass but i can takeover my keyboard using alt+sysrq [05:03] jasoncinci: i have already try that [05:03] well yes, we know the kernel sees your keyboard.. I was hoping to make X see it with a hotplug [05:03] not a huge chance that will work.. but it's something to try :) [05:03] nastas: hmm. [05:03] How can I see the current configuration of my ubuntu box's kernel? [05:04] I need to see if something was enabled as a module. [05:04] zschallz: /boot/config.gz or something like that? [05:04] nasta: are they usb wireless or wired? [05:04] ah ... /boot/config-`uname -r` [05:04] i have a hardware question; my MOBO doesnt have raid 5 would ubuntu handle a pci-e raid controller [05:05] MZIGGA: yes [05:05] vector: Thanks for that-- but it doesn't seem to be there [05:05] in fact, I'm running one right now [05:05] I wonder if me using Linode happens to be one of the reasons why [05:05] oh [05:05] maybe they use a special kernel [05:05] jasoncinci: wired [05:05] I'm sure they do [05:05] yup. 3.0.18-linode43 [05:05] hmmm [05:06] I think the kernel has to have that config option turned on for the config.gz to be there.. and it looks like ubuntu just dumps that file there... so it's probably not enabled on many VPS providers [05:06] hi, i have installed kubuntu, try it for a month, then install gnome-shell package, remove KDE package, but when i look at the boot log message, the K display manager still running, i have removed the KDM package. [05:06] nastas: have you checked /etc/default/console-setup for kb layout, etc. [05:07] jasoncinci: give me 1 min [05:07] vector: I believe you're right. Thanks [05:07] nastas: look at the XKBMODEL & XKBLAYOUT specifially. [05:08] If something is not enabled as a module in the kernel I am running, it has to be recompiled, right? [05:08] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile says "You merely need to compile a special driver. For this, you only need to install the linux-headers packages." but I'm not sure what this means. [05:08] MZIGGA: make sure you check to make sure there's a linux driver for your controller though... nothing sucks more than spending money on a controller to find out there isn't any linux support (either from manufacturer or from the community) [05:11] zschallz: if the currently running kernel has been built with the abililty to load modules, you can simply build the module that you need for that kernel version. however, if you are looking to build a kernel for a linode machine you might run into problems with the module not loading because they have their own patches they apply to the kernel I'm sure... so if you don't have access to the source tree they use to build that version of the [05:11] kernel you will likely find it very difficult to build a module that inserts properly [05:11] jasoncinci: XKBMODEL=ps105 and XKBLAYOUT=us seems normal tome [05:12] that being said.. I'm not a kernel expert... just a 18 year "power user", all of that info is of the "as far as I know" variety :) [05:13] jasoncinci: *pc105 not ps105 === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [05:16] nastas: sorry for delay was afk. Mine is just "pc105" [05:16] mine too [05:18] nastas: did this ever work? Or did something change that led to it? [05:19] jasoncinci just made an upgrade to 11.10 from 11.04. on 11.04 it was working just fine [05:19] nastas: can you select old kernel during boot and see if it works? [05:20] jasoncinci: the same in every kernel i have [05:21] nastas: sorry, at the brick wall for me. :( === boliviano3_sleep is now known as boliviano3 [05:21] #contents of sasl_passwd [05:21] # [05:21] jasoncinci: :) don't worry thanks for your time === eric_ is now known as Hebram [05:24] hey guys [05:26] what would be the best way to use a guest ubuntu install as a server over multiple laptops, including the one runnong it [05:28] basically, I have set up a DHCP server on my lpatop [05:28] and a server installed as a guest OS on my laptop. [05:29] I want my laptop to act as a gateway to the guest OS [05:29] hi everyone [05:29] hi all. please let me know if my question should be taken elsewhere. been googling for hours. [05:30] but when I try to boot it, always return kernel panic [05:30] trying to figure if aser as4755 i7 which comes with linux is a good buy... worried about the optimus issues?

Anyone had issues with partitions not being read correctly? [05:53] gparted doesnt read correctly. shows !'s next to partitions [05:54] doesnt show an unallocated space which shows in windows. I am guessing windows 7 has not recorded partitions correctly or something, and that i need to reinstall the windows and ubuntu os's [05:55] if I can get the dual boot working, i can save buying a new machine [05:57] Hello, don't know if this helps, but I've used gparted adozen times for dual boots and never had a problem- are you making a simple misatke? Those are the ones that always screw things up! :) [05:58] Screwed up like my spelling for instance... [05:58] thanks kcurtis. Also used it many times. i think the IT guys at the office used Win7 to change partition sizes etc, after installing win7 [05:59] suspect that is causing an issue. Gparted lists the labels on the incorrect partitions etc, so something is wack :) [05:59] captine: try out a wubi install? [05:59] thanks scar3crow. i will look into wubi. key is, i am kind of using a work machine for this, which means i cannot leave a "trace" :) [06:00] does wubi run it from inside windows? [06:00] fdisk /mbr ;) [06:00] yes [06:00] er, no [06:00] but is very easily removed [06:01] and portable ;) [06:01] Then you have a mystery- I've tended to trust the linux based programs over windows, just from experience...:) [06:02] thanks all. let me look into fdisk more. best i create a recovery disk for windows first :) just in case [06:03] Hey all, on tab so slow typer.

Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [09:22] CellTech: think of it this way: If you want actual help, ask an actual question [09:23] I sit on IRC all day and want more money [09:23] bazhang: happen to know how this would work in 11.10? [09:23] Then how do I ask? How much more clear can I possibly say "No video chat features work". [09:23] CellTech: usefull details [09:23] CellTech: you can be more specific... [09:23] I have installed google talk video plug in. It crashes constantly. IT refuses to work at all in linux [09:24] I have tried to instal the plug ins for pidgin, they do not work at all, they don't even show up [09:24] jrib: ok i read the right upgrade page [09:24] CellTech: and what does linux have to do with that? [09:24] CellTech: what's the name of your internet provider? [09:24] CellTech: google's support forum has helped me in the past with linux issues. [09:25] It would work flawlessly with windows but nothing like that ever works in linux [09:25] CellTech: linux is just a kernel [09:25] And I can't stand forums because all their full of is people arguing about things [09:25] jrib: and it says that under softwae sources there is suppposed to be a "Show new distribution releases:" prompt when there isnt [09:25] does it work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ [09:27] jrib: you there? [09:27] ShadowFios: there are two things you need to do first: 1) Make sure your options are set to check for LTS updates and 2) Make sure you are already up to date on your current release. Did you do these thing? [09:28] 1) there isnt an option to only check for LTS releases 2) yes === gnu is now known as Guest80598 [09:28] ShadowFios: where are you checking (1) exactly? [09:29] CellTech: the main problem is that you are coming in this channel, flaming our system which we like and some spent a lot of time in it to improve it, instead of asking a usefull questions you are saying "in wi9ndows everything is fine, in linux its never working". do you really think that most of us spent then our time to help you? its always a good idea to post usefull questions, not flaming everything and then you will get use [09:29] jrib: system->administration->software sources.update [09:29] lisaweinfurtner: I don't see any wireless card there, however ethernel could be configured via Network Manager [09:30] ShadowFios: what's the output of lsb_release -c [09:30] !networkmanager | lisaweinfurtner [09:30] lisaweinfurtner: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [09:30] K. I get it. I'll switch back to windows. Thanks for trying but 90% of updates do nothing but slow things down. [09:30] jrib: hardy [09:31] ShadowFios: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and the contents of every file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [09:31] hey whats apache2s default index.htm folder ? [09:31] the it works one ? [09:31] ubuntu pastebin or pastebin.com? [09:31] JermBob: default document root is /var/www [09:31] JermBob: /var/www/ [09:31] thanks [09:31] ShadowFios: doesn't matter [09:31] thats the one [09:31] :D [09:31] lisaweinfurtner: 11.10? [09:31] so there is quoted that the conection had been used 40 minutes ago but i cant connenct with the internet.. [09:32] thank you [09:32] think so.. [09:33] lisaweinfurtner: Is there a wireless adapter in that computer? [09:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ [09:33] gvo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/939411/ [09:33] gvo nice to see you again btw :) [09:33] likewise lisaweinfurtner [09:34] lisaweinfurtner: I saw it, but no wireless card is present. [09:35] ah alright: yeah wireless worked just fine with windows on this machine [09:35] what makes that only the 3 latest kernels are kept. Each times there's a new one, the older one get removed. [09:35] when you do yum update, that is [09:35] lisaweinfurtner: It may be a usb card. Can you get us the output of lshw as root? [09:35] simonp, yum is in fedora [09:35] jsut a minute [09:36] lisaweinfurtner, sudo lshw [09:36] bazhang: i know ; ) but where does the policy of 3 latest kernels comes from and where is it enforced? [09:36] !opengl [09:37] how do i install opengl dev in 11.10 [09:37] lisaweinfurtner: Do you have an ethernet cable plugged in to the laptop? [09:37] bazhang: i would have expected to see something in /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum/ [09:37] bazhang: doh, wrong window! ; ) [09:37] simonp, try #fedora for yum [09:38] yum lol [09:38] @opengl [09:38] here we go http://paste.ubuntu.com/939418/ [09:38] lisaweinfurtner: Also what's the laptop model? [09:38] lisaweinfurtner: so the cards present and trying to connect just failing [09:38] gvo yes it is plugged in [09:39] lisaweinfurtner: if you have mac filters on it may be locking you [09:39] locking [09:39] hp compaq 6735s [09:39] blocking jeez [09:39] no mac filters configured in the router [09:40] jrib: http://pastebin.com/fEb9NbDJ [09:40] ShadowFios: do you have ~/.update-manager-core/ ? [09:41] bazhang: Turn off autoneg and set half duplex for lisaweinfurtner ?? [09:41] ShadowFios: my guess is that this is because you are using hardy-dell-mini instead of "hardy" [09:41] linuxuz3r: try Mesa3D [09:42] gvo, I dont see wireless nic there [09:42] jrib: its hidden and empty but yes [09:42] gvo: humm the card seems to be respondig its just not getting a ip from the sounds of it [09:43] gogeta: strange. [09:43] bazhang: I don't either. [09:43] gvo: for wired it is odd [09:43] ShadowFios: here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/103814/how-can-i-upgrade-my-dell-mini-from-version-8-04 [09:43] jrib: im on an inspirion mini [09:43] hello room, question, what do you guys think is/was the best chipset ever made for ubuntu was (compatibility wise) [09:44] oh [09:44] saruji: intel lol [09:44] gogeta: which which variation? [09:44] saruji: all of them [09:44] !best | saruji [09:44] saruji: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [09:44] saruji: they activly make oss drivers [09:45] lisaweinfurtner: I'm still researching... [09:45] yeah thanks [09:46] anyoe know a good tool to monitor process' overnight for example? need to know an htop like output for a prolonged period of time, not nagios. [09:46] I am asking about chipset compatibility here, but ok gogeta, so you think all of them equally? thinking about getting a 775 motherboard, so hands down best idea would be an x48? [09:46] saruji, no polling here, thanks [09:46] wowza ok [09:46] !hcl | saruji [09:46] saruji: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [09:46] saruji: lol relly any cpu chipset is going to work well [09:47] alright, hostile ubuntu room [09:47] jrib: dell sucks they didnt even tell me it was custom [09:47] how can i send a message to somewone that his name shows up in front of my message like you guys do all the time? [09:47] ShadowFios: yeah I don't know what exactly is custom [09:47] !MESA3D [09:47] lisaweinfurtner: enter the first letters of the name and press TAB [09:47] lisaweinfurtner: just are name and tab dont even need to type all of it [09:47] gogeta: thanks :) [09:48] hi [09:48] lisaweinfurtner: you have a wireless button, is it on? Lit? [09:48] jrib: well now im going to do all that stuff they said in the forum after what is it 7 hours straight of trying to update and failing [09:49] ShadowFios: essentially it amounts to backing up, creating a usb disk using unetbootin, and then doing a fresh install [09:49] gvo: i think its off. it lid yellow and normaly it was blue. if i pres it, nothing happens [09:49] ShadowFios: at that point why not just fresh install it :) [09:49] ShadowFios: good luck :) [09:49] jrib: thx [09:50] lisaweinfurtner: During boot did it flash? [09:50] gvo: i try it out [09:50] lisaweinfurtner: Are you dual booting? [09:50] hi can anyone suggest how to increase battery life in Ubuntu? I am using version 10.10 on a dell xps laptop [09:50] gvo: no i dont. ubuntu is the only os on the maschine [09:51] lisaweinfurtner: OK [09:51] vageesh: got an xps aswell - disabling a active gfx saved me some battery [09:51] vega-: just your standerd tatics low britness wifi off [09:51] gvo: no the wireless button didnt lid during the boot process [09:51] fidel : can you tell me how you did that? [09:52] only partly unfortunalty - i first installed the humbleblee drivers which are made for optimus [09:52] lisaweinfurtner: sudo rfkill list [09:53] fidel: ok [09:53] then i checked the boot-process and tinkered around until the nv-chip wasnt used anymore- that second step is not really good in my memories [09:53] but it was a remarkable battery saver [09:53] vega-: the next ubuntu does have better power magment thers a bug in older kernels that use 30% more power then they should in some cases [09:53] lisaweinfurtner: Hm [09:53] gogeta: ok [09:53] vageesh: this makes for sure only sense if you dont need the nv-gfx power in linux [09:54] I am running a webmin on on my ubuntu box - I would like to use webmin to point to another server which is on a private IP (same subnet) sitting right next to the ubuntu server. Whats the best way to do this? [09:54] fidel: i hardly use it so i guess i will try that [09:54] wireless lan: soft block: yes, hard block: yes [09:55] lisaweinfurtner: Run sudo lshw again, and look for Broadcom or wireless in the output. You don't need to paste it. If you don't see it, then press the wireless button and repeat. [09:55] !webmin| williamdoors [09:55] williamdoors: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [09:55] lisaweinfurtner: sudo rfkill unblock all [09:55] vageesh: i messed around with powertop aswell afaik [09:55] it works fine for me, all i want to know is how to point to the machine beside it [09:55] livtyler: did it, and now? [09:55] gvo: i try it [09:56] lisaweinfurtner: the wifi is on? [09:56] Hello, i have a camcorder which produces MTL files. How do i convert those to normal viewable videofiles? [09:56] vega-: or do what i did [09:56] vega-: bigger battery lol [09:56] livtyler: Probably doesn't have rfkill installed. [09:56] livtyler: oh yes it is! [09:56] diverdude try devede, it can handle most video files [09:56] vega-: i got a massiv 8 cell in this little netbook i get like 8 hrs [09:56] livtyler: Her wireless card doesn't show up in lspci or lshw. [09:56] gogeta: lol .. true [09:57] MonkeyDust: thx, ill try it [09:57] no one knows? [09:57] lisaweinfurtner: What kind of system are you connecting with? Win or Mac? [09:58] vageesh: remeber when dell used to let you use a extra battery in place of the dvd drive i wuld get like 5 hrs ff my dual battery c610 [09:58] gvo: my system here is macos [09:58] vageesh: for the day that was alot [09:59] lisaweinfurtner: So did you find a wireless card? [09:59] gogeta: 5 hours.. that is huge [09:59] gvo: still looking... [10:00] vageesh: i wonde if the xps has a dual battery option [10:00] gogeta: but the c610 is a completly different machine - isnt it pretty old? which makes comparing it to an xps pretty hard or am i wrong? [10:00] fidel: the power useage is around the same [10:00] gogeta: that option is still there === mrJack is now known as mrjack [10:01] vageesh: not using the nv-chip and adding some other tricks gave me around 4,5 hr with the xps15z and the default battery [10:01] fidel, gogeta, please use ##hardware for hardware discussions, this channel is for ubuntu support only [10:01] vageesh: there ya go toss 2 massiv battterys in there [10:01] gvo: no there is nothing [10:02] gvo: maybe it would be a good idea to get the ethernet running before looking after the wlan card, dont you think? [10:03] lisaweinfurtner: OK well let's try to get the hardwired port working. Do an sudo ifconfig -a and look at the line after eth0 Link encap..... [10:03] It's definitely easier. [10:03] lisaweinfurtner: does that second line begin with inet addr: ... [10:04] gvo: no it dosnt [10:04] !rootirc > root [10:04] root, please see my private message [10:04] gvo: UP packets:0.... === root is now known as Guest2485 [10:04] gvo: but the second line of lo starts with a inet addr:127..... [10:05] lisaweinfurtner: Don't worry about lo, it's always there. on your mac bring up a terminal window and type ifconfig -a [10:06] lisaweinfurtner: bear with me, I don't know much about macs. I'm guessing ifconfig is there. [10:06] anyone know how to dump/record output of htop? :/ [10:06] What does it matter what IP the mac has? [10:07] I'm trying to figure out what her network address is so I can set an ip address on her eth0 port. [10:07] gvo: it is [10:07] gvo: so what information do you need from that? [10:07] It should work with DHCP, doubt the mac has a static IP [10:07] lisaweinfurtner: OK do you know what ip range the DHCP is using? [10:08] lisaweinfurtner: You have a router, yes? And your mac and Ubuntu computers are connected to it [10:08] no the mac connects automatically and at the moments its just connected via wlan because i just have one wire [10:08] ah [10:08] and your wire is in the ubuntu computer? [10:08] yes but its not needed there at the moment [10:08] i can change it to the mac [10:08] lisaweinfurtner: I need the IP adress [10:08] gvo: ok [10:09] gcbirzan: Obviously she isn't getting dhcp, so I want to try to get her connected to the lan. [10:09] well, no. the point was to get the Ubuntu computer running on the wired network, so it is needed on the ubuntu machine. just do sudo ifdown eth0; ifup eth0, with the cable plugged in, it should most likely get you an IP address [10:10] It it doesn't come up at boot time, that won't do squat, most likely. [10:10] I agree it should but it isn't. [10:10] I just unpacked a tgz file that contained a bunch of php files. After eatch filename there is a asterix-star. The file name is green and the star is white... What does the star meen?

This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [10:15] Recently updated chrome in linux and all my layers have gone in flash [10:16] as someone who wants to back up content between drives, is a viable option to use rsync rather than setting up a RAID? [10:16] ryanyeah: raid is not a backup [10:16] net 192.168.178.58 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.178.255 [10:16] oCean: depends on the raid [10:17] gogeta: no [10:17] well, depends on what you want the backup for. [10:17] lisaweinfurtner: now do sudo ifconfig -a [10:17] oCean: some raid do full copys [10:17] gvo: on the mac or ubuntu? [10:17] gogeta: That only protects you from drive failure, though [10:17] oCean: ok... by backup i mean keep 2 copies of the same thing (no interest in having access to previous files). and i assume it'd be raid1 [10:17] See if you have an ip addr l line on ubuntu [10:18] gvo: no there is no such line [10:18] gcbirzan: just depends on witch you use i think 11 is the all out backup style [10:18] ryanyeah: rsync is a utility to create copies/backups. Raid is for redundant setup of your disks. RAID0 is a stripe, RAID1 is a mirror, but there are several setups [10:18] gogeta: Again, RAID only protects you against drive failure. Human error (quite common), app problems, driver problems and OS problems will still screw you up. [10:18] lisaweinfurtner: Did you get a message back from ubuntu when you entered that ifconfig eth0 192... command? [10:19] ffs people - [10:19] anyone know how to dump/record output of htop? :/ [10:19] gvo: i entered no such command should I? [10:19] Flexa: no need for the "ffs people -" [10:19] gogeta: RAID setup itself will not give you access to previous versions of your files, backups will [10:19] Flexa: in any case, why don't you use top? [10:20] lisaweinfurtner: Yes I said that a few messages ag [10:20] jribbeause htop is a better tool [10:20] gvo: sorry maybe i didn't get that because i disconected a few times for changing the wire [10:20] top would do though - [10:20] lisaweinfurtner: Try this sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.178.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [10:21] lisaweinfurtner: On ubuntu with the wire connected. [10:21] Flexa: so much better that you can't grab it's output :) I agree that htop is better for interactive use but if you just want to save something to text I don't see what the benefit of using htop would be [10:21] s/'// [10:21] oCean: thats what snapshotting is for [10:21] I'm looking for a solution for pdf annotations. Okular pretty much does what I want, but stores the annotations in ~ instead of in the pdf. Google says evince supports annotations, but I don't see how (there is no "Add text annotation" button where it is supposed to be). Alternatives? [10:21] iam using ubuntu 10.04 thru Virtual machine but iam not getting my all other drives??? [10:21] oCean: raid1 would make 2 copies of the file. if i had 2 hard drives and rsync content over to another drive each night, wouldn't that be a similar solution? could also mean i could choose with directories to create a copy of [10:21] ryanyeah: yep, raid will do a full mirror, rsync provides more flexibility [10:22] lisaweinfurtner: brb [10:22] ryanyeah: lots of ways raids lvm rsync [10:22] ryanyeah: but, between rsync runs, you are not mirroring, whereas a raid1 is constantly mirroring [10:22] ? [10:22] raid does NOT protect you from logical errors. [10:23] ? [10:23] ? [10:23] ? [10:23] Accidentally deleting a file will delete it on both disks, using a RAID. [10:23] shiva: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:23] gvo: ok i didn't get a return message but ifconfig shows now the inet line. though inet is still not working [10:23] good point [10:23] oCean: i see what you mean. i guess the purpose of this for me personally, would be to back up photos, large person files etc. and there wouldn't really be a problem if one copy was up to 24 hours out of date, as i don't create lots of content in a day [10:24] lisaweinfurtner: If you run ip li sh dev eth0, does that line contain NO-CARRIER? [10:24] ryanyeah: For a home based backup, you better off using rsync. [10:24] !backup | ryanyeah there are several ways to backup, but in this case rsync might be your solution [10:24] lisaweinfurtner: (on the Ubuntu machine) [10:24] ryanyeah there are several ways to backup, but in this case rsync might be your solution: There are many ways to back your system up.

Host Unreachable [10:25] Iam using ubuntu 10.xx through virtual machine but my other drives are not mounted pls help me ??? [10:25] lisaweinfurtner: gcbirzan has the answer. [10:25] gogeta: LVM implements a logical mirror, so logical error will be propagated onto all mirror disks. [10:26] gogeta: Thats all, but not a backup. [10:26] lisaweinfurtner: I assume he was the one you answered with "yes" [10:26] hi, I'm using Gnome 3 with Ubuntu 11.10 and I've recently begun to experience memory allocation problems when running multiple apps. [10:26] bekks: backuop box boots a non lvm [10:27] bekks: so i could repair the error [10:27] gvo: ah sorry [10:27] hi. i installed x3 in wine. it started. next i closed it. now how can i start it again? where is the "installed icon" and the files in wine? [10:27] I'm wondering if anyone's got tips on how to clear out cache and to generally make more efficient use of memory [10:27] pls help me ? [10:27] I have 4gb of RAM [10:27] gcbirzan: yes it shows nocarrier [10:28] lisaweinfurtner: Is the cable plugged in? [10:28] amanATdesk try sudo apt-get autormeove; sudo apt-get clean [10:28] gcbirzan: yes it is [10:28] amanATdesk try sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo apt-get clean [10:28] amanATdesk: Why would you want to clear the cache? [10:28] ubotto: thanks for the link. although quick question: if one directory's files hasn't changed since the last time rsync was run, does it still copy anything over? and is it incremental if only some files are changed [10:28] MonkeyDust, what does that 'autoremove'? [10:28] gcbirzan: we have been trying to figure out her issue for a wile now card works no ip both wired and wireless [10:28] lisaweinfurtner: Where is it plugged in, on the other side? [10:28] other end, rather [10:28] tokk: I like Xournal [10:28] amanATdesk remove useless packages or dependencies [10:28] gcbirzan, just thinking that there might be files in cache that are no longer necessary (happens a lot with windows) [10:29] gcbirzan: in the router. the caple works with my mac... [10:29] amanATdesk: What kind of cache are you talking about? [10:29] amanATdesk: no, Linux handles memory usage very efficient. [10:29] MonkeyDust, would that result in freeing up more memory? [10:29] !ram | amanATdesk [10:29] amanATdesk: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [10:29] lisaweinfurtner: sudo ip link set dev eth0 up [10:29] lisaweinfurtner: When you plug it into the router, does the LED there light up? [10:30] amanATdesk also, you can boot in recovery mode and free memory [10:30] MonkeyDust: what? [10:30] gcbirzan: no... [10:30] That won't matter, no-carrier means there's no carrier. if you set the interface down, it won't change that [10:30] lisaweinfurtner: And it does when you do it for the mac, I assume? [10:30] gcbirzan, I'm thinking for applications like nautilus and browsers etc... nautilus seems to slow down quite a bit and become unstable (if I open 7-8 directories/network locations simultaneously, it often falls over)... [10:31] gcbirzan: yes [10:31] gvo: doesnt work, still. [10:31] lisaweinfurtner: gcbirzan wow. I'm confused. [10:31] amanATdesk: That might be a nautilus thing [10:31] hello [10:31] amanATdesk: using "top" you can sort programs by memory usage. [10:31] lisaweinfurtner: Hm. What model of network card do you have, and what kernel? (uname -a for the kernel version) [10:31] hi, any one know how i can zip/rar a folder say every 3-5 hours ? [10:32] By using a cron job. [10:32] lisaweinfurtner: uname -a is going to say something like "Linux cristi-pc 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 5 20:53:11 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux", I just need the 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 part [10:32] !cron [10:32] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [10:32] gcbirzan: card works under windows [10:32] oCean, I tried that and I see little actual usage of RAM at the moment, though sometimes it does show a lot being used [10:32] gcbirzan: 88E8042 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller Marvel [10:32] gogeta: Yes, but if the driver doesn't work, some cards won't detect the Link [10:32] thanks : [10:32] amanATdesk: probably filesystem cache, as explained in the link ubottu send you [10:32] happened to my realtek one on this very computer [10:32] gcbirzan: mmaybe but shes failing on both styes [10:33] wireless to [10:33] gcbirzan: linux laptop 3.0.0-12-generic 20-ubuntu smp fri oct 7 14:56:25 utc 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LINUX [10:33] Can't even see the wireless card. [10:33] I am worried about RAM because I occasionally get "Cannot Allocate Memory" errors when trying to launch apps when other things are running... I know I have a lot of stuff running on my system, but I have always had Linux running this heavy in the past without such issues. [10:33] gvo: ah [10:34] oCean, I'll look into that thanks/ [10:34] amanATdesk: you forget swap [10:34] .* [10:34] amanATdesk: and i never had that issue even with 1gb ram no swap [10:34] gogeta, ? do you mean that I forgot to allocate swap? [10:34] amanATdesk: maybe [10:35] amanATdesk: just a error i never saw even with little ram [10:35] you can always make a swap file. if you dident make a swap partition. [10:37] lisaweinfurtner: try this: lsmod | grep sky2 [10:37] It should be sk98lin I thought [10:37] oh, sky2 is an alternative driver [10:37] I think that's been replaced [10:37] dr_willis: the dam servers hear keep melting lol [10:38] Dunno, it's been a while since I had to use a marvel card :P [10:38] dr_willis: setting off the fire alam quite annoying [10:38] She can try both, I guess. [10:38] how can i write this dash between lsmod and grep? [10:38] lisaweinfurtner: it's generally shift + \ [10:38] though, depends on your mapping [10:38] lisaweinfurtner: the | ? thats above my return key [10:39] hm i have a german keyboard here [10:39] gogeta, well until recently (a month ago), I'd never had a single "cannot allocate memory" error either, though I've always run ubuntu with 4gb RAM, I run it with maybe 6-8 browser tabs in Chrome, 10-14 in Firefox, Gedit with 6-7 files open, 2-3 instances of terminal, banshee, inkscape and 5-6 directories ... all running on-top of whatever system processes are on-going (including Apache, MySQL Server and PHP5) [10:39] lisaweinfurtner: the | is the key right of the left shift key. [10:39] this is the first time I've experienced memory issues with any kind of Linux. [10:40] amanATdesk: bug maybe [10:40] lisaweinfurtner: Alt Gr+the key where you have < and > signs [10:40] might be worth running a memtest for a few hrs also. [10:41] dr_willis, I'll give that a go. [10:41] hm nothing works [10:41] ah ok got it [10:41] amanATdesk: Sounds more like a memory leak in some app. [10:41] alt gr not alt + gr [10:41] sorry [10:41] I decided I'd give zsh a chance. To that end I moved my .bashrc and .profile out of the way. Then I found my launchers I made in ~/.local/usr/applications won't work because my ~/bin wasn't in my $PATH. I guess there are other stuff that source ~/.profile other than shells? OR what is going on? [10:41] linux - helping you use all those keys - that you never knew what they were for, [10:41] sdfdfds [10:42] fdnsdnfsd [10:42] osse: You dont have to touch .bashrc and .profile when using another shell. [10:42] hi [10:42] bekks, hmm, if that's the case then wouldn't it show up in 'top' when I order by memory usage? [10:42] lsmod returns sky2 (in red) 58674 0 [10:42] need help, i ve got a thinkpad x121e and wlan is not working with ubuntu [10:42] bekks, yeah I moved .profile back into place to set my $PATH straight. [10:42] Good day does anyone know of a good full disk encryption guide using LVM LUKS that explains how to go placing the /boot partition onto a USB? I use to use an app at lfde.org but that site has gone. [10:42] what to do??? [10:43] bekks, whas just wondering what sourced it in the first place [10:43] delusr: would just be a matter of puting gub2 on usb [10:43] lisaweinfurtner: If you run modprobe sk98lin, do you get an error? [10:43] delusr: alng with /boot [10:44] gcbirzan: yes, FATA: Module sk98lin not found [10:44] gcbirzan: *FATAL [10:44] delusr: the installer can do that by defult now [10:45] The sk98lin was removed from kernel in 2.6.23, wasnt it? [10:45] amanATdesk: you should definitely see the results of stopping/starting applications in both top and the "free" command. [10:45] delusr: then just do your standerd lvm setup [10:45] So much for that idea. [10:46] amanATdesk: what is the output of the free command? (don't paste here please) [10:46] oCean, I'm going to check that out by killing the process and running top and free -m, before and afterwards [10:46] amanATdesk: yep, that is the way to go [10:46] amanATdesk: but if this suddenly started, a memtest is a good idea too [10:47] oCean, k, I'll read up on memtest and run it too [10:47] help anyone? [10:47] gogeta: the alternative installer will allow me to place grub onto a USB what about the crypto keys? [10:47] oCean: man dunno there my c610 has its ram held in by tape and it only works half the time and i never saw that error [10:48] thanks all for your help, I'll go see if I can trace it to an app or if memtest gives me some indication of what's really going on. [10:48] thanks :) [10:48] delusr: i knoe grub i dunno abought the keys [10:49] Thats what I need a guide for there use to be a step by step guide at lfde.org and thats gone [10:50] delusr: well i knoe ahveing boot and grub on usb pulling the stick wowuld make the machine not boot [10:51] so is ubuntu just not running on my system or what is the problem?

[10:53] now help me! :-) [10:54] naa help is tiring [10:54] lol [10:54] gogeta: enough with the silly messages, don't do that here [10:54] btw how do you ubuntu people deal with the concept of linux as a primary OS? do people tend to have a windows partition they boot into occasionally? [10:55] ryanyeah: I have only one OS ;) [10:55] ryanyeah: other the games you can run linux full time [10:55] ryanyeah: that and running windows in a VM [10:55] gvo: i actually installed a 10.4 version for that reason a week ago. same thing there [10:55] !redirect [10:55] ryanyeah: during the windows vista rain all my machines where linux [10:55] thedoors: ? [10:56] lisaweinfurtner: So no joy on 10.04 as I recall. At least we saw the wireless card then. [10:56] how can i redirect a virtual hosted website by IP? [10:56] gvo: windows in a VM is viable for gaming??? [10:56] lisaweinfurtner: good luck, I have to catch an airplane. [10:56] gvo: may get away with using nids if she knoes the wireless card make and model [10:56] ryanyeah: depends on the game but most likely not. [10:56] thedoors: how is that an Ubuntu question? Please provide more details [10:57] thedoors: can't you just change the virtualhost to be ip-based? [10:57] I have 2 machines sitting side by side on the same IP - I want to host on both but I am using my ubuntu server for virtual host & i want to redirect to my other ubuntu machine beside it [10:57] thedoors: hua [10:57] oCean they are both ubuntu servers [10:57] oCean: did i paste too little information?, i seem to get no answers what so ever : / [10:58] if i use a console i find it hard to see where the command started is there a way to make my typed command a different color than the output txt? [10:58] gogeta? [10:58] thedoors: wouldent you use 2 ips and some sort of load balance to redirect [10:58] i have no idea thats why i am asking [10:59] gogeta the 2nd machine is on an internal IP [10:59] hplc: sometimes answers are not readily available.

Now, sakura is based on vte3 so it might have the bug resolved. roxterm is also worth a shot. [12:42] ...Though, roxterm is vte2 as well [12:45] theadmin, tried sakura - no luck. same defect [12:45] somersb3: Really weird. Does every X app cause this effect, or just terminals?

[12:48] it might be a 2.6, 10.10 is 2.6 [12:48] mkultra_: how come? [12:48] shredding, you might have better luck in #vim [12:48] they switched kernels [12:48] Trieste type uname -a to find out [12:48] theadmin, well, scrolling in a terminal takes more CPU than moving windows of xchat over the screen very quickly [12:49] * Zoffix wonders why vim people come in here...

Don't really know what's wrong with it...TBH [12:50] sambagirl, an editor [12:50] its a command line text editor [12:51] like pico / nano [12:51] nevermind it's a text editor [12:51] like vi i suppose [12:51] looked at wiki [12:51] what does mandb do??

[12:53] sambagirl vim = vi improved [12:53] sambagirl i have some kind of dependencies problems with monodoc-base [12:53] my rhythmbox icon missing from "notification area" how to add back ? [12:54] rabbi1 you can't, i tried it too === CamC_ is now known as CamC [12:55] MonkeyDust: reinstalling rhythmbox will do ? [12:55] rabbi1 no, tried that too [12:56] So, I'll reask my last night's question: during installation, being bored, I clicked "High contrast" (on the icon, top right). After that it apparently crashed and I sat through the rest of my install with giant fonts and icons. Now, I am on the installed system, but Ubuntu decided to try to be smart and enabled "high contrast" theme by default it seems. After playing with settings I got my fonts normal, but my cursors are still giant. I can't f [12:56] ind where to change the cursors. Any help? [12:56] theadmin, it is OK with xterm :) [12:56] somersb3: Hm, so it IS a vte bug, but in both versions... Well, I suggest you try something like, uh, rxvt then [12:58] MonkeyDust: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=227261 check the reply from leadgolem\ [13:00] rabbi1 that's fedora [13:00] MonkeyDust: yeah, but i was able to get the icon, but not staying at the place, its much to do with rhythmbox i guess [13:01] rabbi1 maybe it's solved in 12.04 [13:01] theadmin, is there any way to find all terminal packages in xbuntu that do not depend on vte ? [13:02] MonkeyDust: again, its with Fedora also, so not much to do with OS. I had no problem before, but i started my system after a long time. caught up with this [13:02] somersb3: I don't think there is a sane way to do so, sorry [13:03] MonkeyDust: that solution in the post is working [13:04] MonkeyDust: after some regular updates, something is screwing the status plugin of rhythmbox, just got to reset it ,..... === mefrio|afk is now known as mefrio [13:05] If I have a package such as abcde, how can I see whether there are source files for that package? something like "apt-cache policy-source abcde" or something?

[13:06] what are they thinking [13:06] They aren't [13:06] I use unity 2d and 11.10, and they ARE [13:06] I'm installing a box for my dad, and have to switch to KDE probably... There's no way a Windows n00b can't get around Unity.

In general, though, how do I find the source? [13:07] slikts_, I meant they aren't thinkin' haha [13:07] kwtm: Well, "apt-get source PACKAGE" downloads the source-code for PACKAGE into the current directory, if available. [13:08] kwtm: (given you have the deb-src repos enabled) [13:08] theadmin: Ah, I see. Thx. I wonder if there is a "don't really do it --I just want to check if it would work" flag? [13:08] simpy W T F canonical, the window resizing been grating my gears for a few days now [13:08] is it a canonical or a gnome screwup?

I just downloaded the anarchism package from the repos, but have no idea how to actually use it, it looks like theres a load of stuff in the docs folders, but how do I browse this resource? [13:09] rabbi1 don't have the status plugin [13:09] theadmin. thank you anyway, boss [13:09] ubuntu12.04LTS is coming! [13:09] slikts_: I'm sure "W T F" stands for "Why That's Fantastic!" :) Yeah, I agree, Canonical has been going downhill. They think they're the most popular Linux distro now so they get to tell users what they want. Fail! Canonical != Microsoft [13:09] MonkeyDust: that can't be, may be its lost, get that plugin [13:09] GhostWolf: yes, discussion for that in #ubuntu+1, not here [13:10] n3ur0tix, id look for the bin file [13:10] then copy and paste the path into a terminal [13:10] I'm still using Kubuntu 10.04. I might upgrade to the next LTS but that won't be till about 4 months after release, to get the bugs ironed out. [13:10] kwtm, don't :D [13:10] just wondering what 12.04 has to offer, anyway thinking of Fedora shortly .... [13:10] like /usr/bin/anarchism straight into a terminal [13:10] simple question: how can I have dia diagram editor in one window at Ubuntu? oO' [13:10] mkultra_, yeah, nothing :/ [13:10] kwtm, I've made a mistake of upgrading my work box 10.04... long story short, I'm using Bodhi linux on it now :) [13:11] rabbi1: it is offtopic for this channel, /join #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 [13:11] hi [13:11] Zoffix: :( Are you on KDE? I'm thinking of Mint. [13:11] kwtm: it was really bad when 11.04 came out, what with severe, sever bugs in the most basic functionality like window switching, but I thought they had learned and that it had gotten better... BUT NOW THEY BREAK BASIC WINDOW RESIZING muhaha [13:11] lol [13:11] slikts_: do you have an actual support question, or did you just came to rant? [13:11] its way broken for me [13:12] slikts_: I'm hoping that they'll be a bit more conservative with LTS additions, but you probably know that they're not treating KDE people nicely. But, hey, they're not biased, now they're giving the same crummy treatment to GNOME users! ha ha ha [13:12] i have mint xfce debian edition on a flash key if it gets worse [13:12] oCean: stuff it wannabe irc cop, it's a support issue that I can't resize the windows [13:12] !attitude | slikts [13:12] slikts: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

Continue the rants and you'll find yourself outside the channel [13:12] kwtm, I was on Gnome in 10.04, but they did all the stupid changes, like moving the back/forward buttons in nautilus to the RIGHT and removing the "Up" button altogether.

How's Bodhi? Debian based or something else? [13:13] It(the computer) says i have that adobe flash thing, and i have gnash swf player installed(so it says) but i cant watch any videos [13:13] deb0: I tried beta, saw the resizing problems and went with "stable"… only to find the same issue [13:14] mkultra_, looks like I have to navigate the docs folder and open the index.html file... sucks that this is not packaged up as an app [13:14] hello anyone willing to explain winetricks here? :) [13:14] ken_os: it's too tricky [13:14] just install it and run it [13:14] !anyone| ken_os [13:14] ken_os: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[16:35] Phillip, you can install xubuntu-desktop [16:35] I meant the DE [16:35] oh okay [16:35] tank you [16:35] then you should be able to boot into both [16:35] phillip: no, wubi is for windows [16:35] anddam: and what is the issue? I logged in just now and didn't see [16:35] I installed ccsm, enabled desktop cube and wobbly windows and when I rebooted I have no bar on the left of my screen... and I really dont know my way around unity - crap, I hope someone feels sorry for me and helps me out - lol [16:36] Im on 11.10 and trying to allow myself to run the make command, When I try to type the following command I get the error "sudo: aptitude: command not found" The command Im running is "sudo aptitude install build-essential" [16:36] bobo37773: every time the user logs in wifi password is asked, I'd like the password to be stored instead. [16:36] anddam: Are you using networkmanager or wicd etc..? [16:36] switching user completely hangs the system every time, what is up with this? [16:36] dougl: i don't know if unity works with the desktop cube [16:36] anddam password or wpa key? [16:36] try nm-applet [16:36] WPA key [16:37] bobo37773: idk, how do I check that? [16:37] anddam: networkmanager is default [16:38] auronandace, well desktop cube has 2 sides to it and I can rotate it but no bar... hmm, I guess that qualifys as not working tho... [16:38] Hello all my gedit cant read bulgarian language what should I do to make bulgarian language readable ? [16:38] maybe I will switch to gnome [16:39] Hello [16:39] dougl: i imagine gnome3 wouldn't work with the desktop cube either (because of the way workspaves are managed in gnome3) [16:39] anddam: Yeah your probably using networkmanager if I had to guess. Try something like this --> http://pastie.org/3829103 [16:39] workspaces [16:39] auronandace: that doesn't answer how to check if I'm using it, tho' [16:40] auronandace, ok - thanks for the info... is there a older version of gnome I could use? [16:40] anddam: the logic is if you didn't change the network manager you are using then you're likely using the one that is default [16:40] anddam: You need to eval the keyring in openbox / lxde or whatever. Just use htop to see if you are running networkmanger [16:41] I want my 11.10 install to behave like my 10.10 install on my other machine... is this possible? [16:41] dougl: no, gnome2 is no longer supported [16:41] Hi [16:41] dougl: compiz works on xfce too though [16:41] anddam: Install htop and then run htop in terminal. After that press "f3" to search and type in networkmanager or nm-applet or whatever [16:41] there's still the GNOME 3 Fallback desktop that's kind of sort of set up like GNOME 2 [16:41] Hello [16:41] dougl i use ubuntu classic, it's much like gnome2, but it is gnome3 [16:41] that was cast out into Universe, but it works [16:42] MonkeyDust: isn't that called fallback mode? [16:42] bobo37773: why htop rather than top? [16:42] auronandace yes, guess so [16:42] Could I get some help please [16:42] bobo37773: to filter?

[16:53] is there a way to test the different mirror to see which is fastest? [16:53] for updates [16:54] anddam: lxde is not a gnome session.

[17:02] AngrySpam, i would try opening a terminal and typing "sudo apt-get install wine" [17:03] AngrySpam, that might give something more detailed [17:03] yes and some multilanguage pack [17:04] wait, does ubuntu have the tty terminals from alt+f1-f4 keys? [17:04] milen8204: and you restarted afterwards i guess?

[17:07] out of curiosity how's a wifi password stored without a graphical environment? [17:07] milen8204: I didn't catch what version of Ubuntu you were on? [17:08] Ubuntu 11.10 [17:08] anddam: i believe you can hand type wireless info into your wlan0 or interfaces under /etc/network/ [17:08] I mean all the cases I saw on linux systems were using helpers/applets when a user logs into a graphic DE but how would it be set for a terminal only system [17:08] \leave [17:08] where would I check this on official documentation? [17:08] PRabyte1, i think its the backup [17:09] I couldn't find this topic, maybe it was my fault when searching (I did search) [17:09] anddam: in the manpages to wpa_supplicant [17:09] escott: ok [17:09] milen8204: in system setings > Language Support on the Language tab you have the right one set? And possibly on the Regional Formats tab as well?

[17:11] which is good advice in any case imo [17:11] ok, I'll check [17:11] milen8204: so it's fixed? [17:11] !nounity| Ghost_Berry [17:11] Ghost_Berry: 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 [17:11] inbox: update or upgrade?

[18:02] n3ur0tix, yes its 2.3 [18:02] escott, FYI - did those suggestions to restore unity and it is still not functional... how do I make my ubuntu install boot to xfce? [18:02] Xtreme, sudo apt-cache show gnome [18:02] Xtreme: the more interesting question is which ubuntu version. the (older) standard ubuntu windowmanager metacity doesn not do real alpha-channel transparency. either you need to use compiz (that thing with the cool 3D cube) or install xcompmgr (a command line program) and run it. [18:02] n3ur0tix, It's written it is used to search for known formats. I don't think the wrapped-passphrase of ecryptfs has some format. Thanks anyway :) [18:02] Xtreme, gnome-terminal is not gnome ;) [18:03] Qazjap11, ah... that could be tricky [18:03] Andsim, this path is different from the sudo env path. sudo is doing something that is fixing the path. i'm not clear why this path is messed up [18:04] yeah i didnt setup the server company did for mee when i brought the server [18:05] ?After disabling root login (11.10), what do I need to do to enable scp to same box? I get "Permission denied" for scp with my username/password, which is valid for ssh login. [18:05] Can anyone help me boot my machine to xubuntu? [18:05] Andsim, you could check /etc/profile but that doesn't seem a likely source of the problem [18:05] dougl, do you have it set to autologin? === Armadillogeddon is now known as Arm[Syn3h] [18:05] k [18:05] escott, thanks =- yes [18:06] dougl, you'll need to disable that. check /etc/lightdm there might be a file you can modify there [18:07] escott, ccsm changes broke my unity and now I try to ccsm and change options back and get seg faults... will do thanks [18:07] escott: http://pastebin.com/Wkf2rjQj [18:09] Hi, is there currently any issue with the package servers? I get the following error from a "sudo apt-get udpate": Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Hash Sum mismatch [18:10] august1914: doesn't sound like an scp problem (as you can ssh into it) but a normal file permisson problem. can you give your user read permission on the files you want to copy? [18:10] august1914: and read/execute permission for the directories [18:11] Igramul, there are often intermittent issues with particular servers. give it 24hrs and if its still a problem you could try a different mirror [18:11] mirko2: checking... [18:11] escott, ok - thanks. [18:12] Things keep telling me they have dependencies that WON'T be installed. Why is my terminal being so obstinate? [18:13] escott, thanks - I have a functioning xfce desktop now, you gonna be around later... [18:13] will be back later to tweak my xfce interface and sing praises for escott - thanks all :) [18:14] dougl, i didnt do much, just pointed you where to look. [18:14] :) [18:15] upset: it isn't the terminal but the package manager, pastebin the command you use and the full output [18:15] Oh my God, I went through a chain of dependencies, finally found one that would install, and it's removing a ton of other stuff [18:15] hi [18:15] so what happens when a /dev/ttyACM0 dissappears and turns into /dev/ttyACM1 [18:15] mirko2: yes, the problem is user's rights on scp target. [18:15] i've been using the ACM0 .. and I'd love to get that back as the default *THING* that my computer is writing to my arduino with [18:15] suggestions? [18:16] any suggestion?

[18:18] august1914: so is it solved then? [18:18] that's your question? [18:18] made some changes to fstab and left some junk by mistake at end of file [18:19] delinquentme: i fear you have to write custom udev rule [18:19] now computer does not boot [18:19] boot from livecd [18:19] won't let be copy a backup of fstab as file system is in Read Only [18:19] hello, somehow the < When I boot from live cd the one on the hard disk takes over [18:19] how do I see how much space i have left on hdd in ubuntu classic? [18:20] only if I put it like that: my_result=`mycommand< robde_: pastebin your script [18:20] can't get live cd to prevail when you point to it from boot menu with bios? [18:20] mirko2: not yet - need to grant rights to directory to user, still researching to make sure I understand what I'm doing [18:21] on the ubuntu 12.04 it recognize my monitor as a laptop and it cuts a bit of my screen, how do i fix that? [18:21] 12.04 in #ubuntu+1 Mkman [18:21] august1914: hint: group rights ;-) [18:22] robde_, you mean it doesn't work if you have it in one line? thats normal [18:23] escott: it’s multiple lines === etotheipi is now known as UnununiumWapiti [18:23] robde_: from man bash: Here Documents - This type of redirection instructs the shell to read input from the current source until a line containing only delimiter (with no trailing blanks) is seen. [18:23] robde_, paste exactly what you have in the script [18:24] robde_, but i would suspect that having that inside a ` ` would not work [18:24] If I have ubuntu and want to change distro also im dual booting with win7, will I be able to just delete ubuntu installation and reinstall ? [18:24] it does :/ === UnununiumWapiti is now known as etotheipi [18:24] robde_, i think you want to use $( command << EOF\n inputs\n EOF\n ) [18:25] hmm [18:25] mirko2: I'm in, thanks!

I probably can't help with your sound issue [18:33] BUUUUUUUUUURP [18:33] quit [18:34] so, my soundcard is simply not being detected by alsa [18:34] hi [18:34] zarax, what kind of soundcard is it [18:35] mmm [18:35] i forget [18:35] hold on [18:35] Realtek Audio v.5.10.0.5772 [18:35] I'm having a serious problem on a fresh install of 12.04, everytime I plug in my USB mouse gnome quits and goes to a black terminal screen [18:36] airlynx, #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 help [18:36] pangolin, thanks [18:36] zarax, is that intel HDA? sudo lshw -C sound [18:37] Is it possible to upload an iso for 11.10 to a remote server and use it to reinstall the OS that is currently running? [18:37] should be [18:37] I have a problem with fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 when switching users. after switching between users the window manager menus are unreadable (graphical glitches). I have tried this with the default Unity, Gnome 3, and Cinnamon, all behave the same. my graphics card is a nVidia 7900 GT and I have the latest stable nVidia driver installed [18:37] hi I want to connect to a sftp server with the "files" application using a rsa keyfile ... is this possible or is it only possible using a password (it works without a problem on another server with a password but for this server I can only use a keyfile) (I got filezilla and it works I'ld just find it handy to have it as a bookmark in the file manager) [18:37] one second [18:38] N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller [18:38] "*-multimedia UNCLAIMED" [18:38] zarax, are the intel hda drivers loaded? lsmod | grep hda [18:40] it's not responding [18:40] lsmod shows no such value [18:41] anyone any idea if I could get this to work? [18:41] Boreeas: perhaps you want a custom apt repository? something like http://www.hiddentao.com/archives/2011/06/27/setting-up-a-simple-ubuntu-apt-repository/ [18:41] Hans_Zer0, not sure what the "files" application is, but sftp uses ssh auth_keys [18:42] so I can just put my rsa key file ... somewhere... and then ubuntu magically does the rest? [18:42] mirko2: No, that isn't really what I'm looking for. Backstory: I'm trying to upgrade a remote vserver, the only option being ssh. do-dist-upgrade broke a bunch of dependencies and I can't seem go go back or forth. [18:43] "files" is the standard file manager for ubuntu I dunno what it actually is but it is named "files" in the dash (or whatever that thing is called) [18:43] Hans_Zer0, in your $HOME on the server you put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (and set the correct permissions on that file) and then it should "just work" [18:43] the server part works fine ! [18:43] Hans_Zer0: it's called Nautilus [18:43] I'm just talking about the client part [18:43] So I was planning on uploading an iso to the server and then reinstalling, but I'm afraid that at some point it will overwrite stuff that is needed for keeping the iso mounted [18:43] ok can nautilus use a rsa keyfile to establish a ssh/sftp connection ? [18:44] it seems i don't have hda [18:44] zarax: BEcause you should have sda [18:44] bekks, ? he is talking about hda audio not sda drives [18:44] Hans_Zer0: it works here, but I have my servers set up in ~/.ssh/config (so I give the Host name in File/Connect to Server...) [18:45] escott: ah k :) [18:45] i actually beleive it more likely to be sda, seeing as i'm talking about an old netbook [18:45] Hans_Zer0: I don't know if it will work otherwise (it may) [18:45] so I put my ssh config stuff with the keyfile in there and then it can connect ? [18:45] zarax, have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [18:46] Hans_Zer0: yes [18:46] that's the answer I needed I can start from there thank you [18:46] :D === Hans_Zer0 is now known as Hans_zero [18:46] i believe i have, but i'll take another look at it [18:47] zarax, you could just try sudo modprobe. or sudo modprobe -l "snd_hda_*" [18:48] escott: was it supposed to return anything? [18:48] zarax, the second one should. the first should not, but it might intelligently insert the modules for the devicer [18:48] -l or -i? [18:48] zarax, l as in lima [18:49] Thanks [18:49] nope. no reply [18:49] why is it that the trackpad works correctly under KDE and not under gnome :/ [18:49] Boreeas: can't help with vservers, but you might want to look at http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html [18:49] burhan, likely different settings for syndaemon. is it the same user? [18:50] yes. [18:50] in fact, there is only one user on the system. [18:50] and ONLY under gnome (well, unity) does the trackpad act strange. [18:50] xfce and kde are fine. [18:53] escott any clue as to other possibe solutions? i'm practically on a fresh install of ubuntu (directly from windows xp) [18:53] burhan, i would compare the output of synclient under kde and gnome [18:53] escott: hmm, I'll give it a shot. [18:55] mirko2: Ah, thanks [18:55] zarax, i would try "sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel" but its also likely you will need "sudo modprobe snd_hda_codec_realtek" or some variant. you might try "sudo modprobe snd_hda_*" and see if it picks up the right modules. [18:56] escott, the first command returned only a warning: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, it will be ignored in a future release." [18:57] same for the scond command [18:57] zarax, what version of ubuntu is this? [18:58] someone should uninvent flash. any takers? [18:58] (pfft, i need to learn how to use irssi before i start fooling around with commands) === lukas is now known as Guest43339 [18:59] hi there... === Arm[Syn3h] is now known as Arm[CMRRAWME] [18:59] escott, the third command returned the same warning and it couldn't anything else [18:59] ok, I am now trying to clean install my nVidia driver. booted into recovery, dropped into root shell.. when trying 'apt-get remove' I get error: unable to write to /var/cache/apt/ [19:00] Chloop, its probably not mounting / as read-write [19:01] escott: I need to choose a different option in the recovery menu? [19:01] zarax_: notice that modprobe doesn't ouput anything if it runned successfull, and since you only got a warning, not an error, see if alsa now sees your soundcard (remember to unmute it) [19:01] Chloop, do you have a livecd [19:01] I haven't booted into recovery in years.. === ura is now known as stol3m [19:01] escott: no, Ubuntu is installed on HD [19:02] Chloop, you can try "sudo mount -o remount,rw / [19:02] (pfft, no more windows shortcuts for me) === testerdude is now known as Guest79567 [19:05] I'm at the recovery menu again. which should I choose to get to the shell without loading X? [19:06] escott, Did I miss any more advice on your part after the 3 commands? [19:06] Hi, my frriend has a netbook and no usb flash drives but wants Ubuntu..is there any way he could do a network install...? [19:06] or any way around installing without a USB? [19:06] he wants to get rid of windows and put on edubuntu for his son [19:06] Chloop: "root shell" or something like that is there, methinks it's the last option [19:06] zarax, if you ran the modprobe commands see what is listed in lsmod and check lshw again to see if the device is claimed [19:07] theadmin: tried that before but it mounts filesystem as read-only? [19:07] wifioregon, you must at least obtain an usb stick or cdrom drive; unless you set up a PXE server and the machine can boot from lan [19:07] wifioregon: There is one way, but it's freaky -- you can mount the physical drive via Virtualbox (preparing an empty partition for Ubuntu beforehand) and install that way, then boot it from real hardware and remove Windows... [19:07] Chloop: Is that a problem whatsoever? mount -o remount,rw / [19:08] wifioregon: or use the method I just posted some minutes ago: http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html ;-) [19:08] escott, i have snd_hda of the sorts listed in lsmod [19:08] Hello, when i start ubuntu 11.10 (from startup) i get the grub thing, no matter what its automatically there. How do i just boot up to desktop from there? [19:09] escott, i'm being warned by lshw to run as super user [19:10] zarax, so run with sudo [19:10] AngrySpam you could set the timeout to 0 [19:10] how! [19:10] wait, should i specify which lshw? [19:10] i dont even know what that is -.- [19:10] Hey all having troubles setting up a x11vnc reverse tunnel through a gateway server, assuming I have the tunnel setup properly from my client to the gateway (forwarding port 5900 to localhost), what is the command for the x11vnc server machine to properly connect it to the gateway?

[19:40] I have vmware workstation [19:40] slikts_: yeah, you'll have a lot of problems with time on it [19:40] boo [19:41] also with clipboards [19:41] slikts_: vmware enterprise tools are solid, the home stuff is sloppy [19:41] unbelievably the clipboard sharing is broken [19:41] slikts_: not a surprise [19:41] in a better world it should be a surprise for $200 software and a very common OS [19:42] slikts_: annoying as it sounds it's not actually a vmware problem (as I recall) it's how certain PC's hardware clocks interface [19:44] ugh I didn't have so much trouble with 10.04 [19:44] ikonia: interesting that other virtualization software (kvm) recommend against using ntpd in VMs... seems virtualization and ntpd don't co-operate [19:44] zykotick9: yes, I did work with Redhat and if you use RHEL 5.4 -> later, you'll have no problems with it. Redhat have put a good patch into their kernel to give solid time [19:46] er, hi. I'm trying to download the 12.04 image with bittorrent and Transmission says "Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" [19:46] tjf: 12.04 is not released yet [19:46] tjf: #ubuntu+1 for precise [19:46] hello, i have an fujitsu A1650G an activate the b43 wireless driver, so now i can't anymore activate my wireless network, what can i do for activate? [19:46] * zykotick9 doesn't think 12.04 is available as a torrent from ubuntu/canonical [19:47] zykotick9: wget -q -O - http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ | grep -F '.torrent' === Arm[SoggyPretzel is now known as Arm[ChEeZ] [19:48] zykotick9: Basically speaking, there are torrents. [19:48] theadmin: my bad. I downloaded the daily last night, didn't see a torrent there. [19:50] can anyone help me please, i only would use my wireless connection :( [19:52] grit: Wireless as in Wi-Fi? How is it not working? [19:54] Diamondcite, yes it is wi-fi ... i have install ubuntu and try to connect with wifi to my router but i became no connection. so after that i activate the b43 driver and now i can not activate the wireless connection over the symbol in the tray (sorry for y bad nglish ...) [19:55] Ah a broadcom card, b43 and STA are two different drivers.. but it seems you have already figured it out.. [19:55] ciao [19:56] !list [19:56] xmarco69: No warez here!

[19:56] how to find out my download speed [19:56] ubuntu 11.10 [19:56] i not realy figured out something, this was the only driver that have ubuntu show in the preferences. [19:56] bs: speedtest.net ;) [19:57] bs: there's tons of online speed testers, check speedtest.net [19:57] zozy, i mean life while i'm downloading file how can i find out my speed? [19:57] if i type iwconfig in the terminal my card will display [19:57] but i can't activate [19:58] grit: Did you try to restart after activating the driver? If you did restart, what did nm-tool' [19:58] err 'nm-tool' say for available networks [19:58] while i'm downloading file how can i find out my speed? [19:58] bs: usually it shows up in the browser [19:59] whyile youre downloading === FTW is now known as renode [19:59] bs: what browser do you use? [19:59] bs: what browser are you using? [19:59] Firefox should have a download window which shows current speed [19:59] Chrome/Chromium, shows it on a tab... i believe Opera does as well. [19:59] i'm downloading updating so i want to find out the download speed [20:00] bs: then answer the question so we can help you find out the speed, please [20:00] bs: There are also other apps which monitor transfer speeds.. like 'bwm-ng'(command line tool) or gkrellm(old gtk tool) [20:00] bs: if you're updating w/ update manager, .. click details on the update manager, and it should show the speed things are being downloaded as different servers are accessed [20:01] okay, progress, I finally got two user sessions to look alright when choosing Unity 2D as desktop. [20:01] Diamondcite, yes i have restart. nm-tool says http://pastebin.com/yjdK1nDs [20:01] KM0201: doesnt it only shows the xkb of y kb thingy? [20:01] zozy: i thougth next to it it showed the actual speed as well. === Arm[ChEeZ] is now known as Armadillogeddon [20:01] Diamondcite, how to download that bwm thing [20:02] dunno, but i'll check at the next update KM0201 [20:02] :D [20:02] grit: Does your device have a hardware wifi kill switch? Or maybe you cna try activating the STA driver instead of b43 [20:02] zozy: updating now.. i'll check.. :) [20:02] what does it mean when wireless is unclaimed? [20:02] bs: nope, you're right.. it doesn't show the speed [20:02] bs: bwm-ng is an app, so you should be able to find it in software center or 'apt-get install bwm-ng' [20:03] so kinda back to square one. is there something I can do to improve switching between two user sessions? I get extreme graphical glitches. [20:03] sorry zozy you're right, it doesn't show the speed [20:03] i thought it did. [20:03] i think if you update via command line, it does. [20:03] grit: I am away from the keyboard, eating. [20:04] KM0201: maybe theres a room for improvement (although i dont see any justification for that feature) [20:04] I am eating on the keyboard :D but its just salad [20:04] KM0201: yup, apt show its speed [20:04] zozy: me either.. most likely if there's a bottleneck when downloading updates, it's on the server end, rather than the client. [20:04] zozy: so there's the answer... "sudo apt-get upgrade".. ;) [20:05] Diamondcite, yes i have that kill switch, i think yu mean the button to activate the wifi card on my laptop but it's on, my windows have the connection to the router over wlan. ok, i will wait :) [20:05] KM0201: yeahh, i hope bs is reading it too :D [20:05] zozy: i doubt it..lol [20:06] how and where can i activate the sta driver?? [20:06] I installed ubunbtu 11.10 then ccsm and enabled some effects which broke my desktop then installed xubuntu and am booted to that but ccsm effects do not work (desktop cube and wobbly windows) any suggestions? [20:06] zozy, KM0201: not everybody in the world has a multi-MBit/s DSL flatrate. some have only GPRS/EDGE and even some others have a time or transfer limit. showing the speed, time and amount *is* very important to some people. [20:07] grit: search unity for "Additional Drivers" [20:07] mirko2: if its that important, then use the command line. [20:08] KM0201: I do (even with a fast, unlimted connection), but isn't Ubuntu aimed at newcomers ;-)= [20:08] dougl: you mean ccsm doesn't work on xubuntu? [20:08] or it just still doesn't work on ubuntu [20:09] i use ubuntu 10.04 KM0201 [20:09] mirko2: ubuntu isn't designed to be all things for all people... so the fact it's "for newcomers" means nothing [20:09] grit: system/admin/additional drivers [20:09] grit: if it's a really new broadcom, there may not be support in the 10.04 kernel for it yet. [20:10] KM0201, the compiz effects dont work on xubuntu... ccsm works to enable and disable them - but effects do not work regardless of enable/disable them [20:10] its an old laptop A1650G Fujitsu [20:10] so i think that must work :/ [20:11] mirko2: it shows x% of...i think that is enough for dispolaying information [20:11] for some reason my default desktop is unity-2d, I am running the nvidia driver how, can I switch to 3d? [20:11] dougl: i'm not sure how to enable compiz on xubuntu... xubuntu (by design) is for pc's that have a little less horsepower, so it makes sense that enabling desktop effects, etc.. would require some hooop jumping [20:11] and under additional driver for me is only the b43 avaible, no sta driver [20:11] grit: which broadcom do you have? [20:12] how can i see that? [20:12] .. [20:12] grit: open a terminal and type lspci and hit enter, find your wireless device in the output [20:12] KM0201, very good then - I had the misunderstanding compiz worked with xfce that is why I installed it. [20:12] KM0201: all I'm saying is that info like speed and time to completion is very important and almost standard info, just the gnome/ubuntu oversimplification kicks in again. anyway, not a gnome/ubuntu design forum. :-) [20:12] KM0201, google is my friend - lol [20:12] in using ubuntu. does one have to use gnome? === phirsch is now known as phirsch_ === phirsch_ is now known as phirsch__ [20:13] ELQEYNN, no [20:13] ELQEYNN: no === phirsch__ is now known as phirsch [20:13] dougl: i'm not saying it "doesn't work"... i'm just saying i have no idea how to do it... to me it would go against the goals of xubuntu, which is to work on PC's with limited resources (even though I think xubuntu lost its way a couple years ago, thats irrelevant) [20:13] One can just as easily use kde? or icewm? [20:13] xubuntu and compiz work fine together. all you need to do is to replace xfwm4 with compiz. [20:13] KM0201, Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [20:13] mirko2: i didn't say it "couldn't" be important, of course it could be.. but i'd say to a majority of people, it's not [20:13] !kubuntu | ELQEYNN [20:13] ELQEYNN: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde [20:13] ELQEYNN: yes [20:14] !xubuntu | ELQEYNN [20:14] ELQEYNN: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

[20:15] I have never herad of compiz. [20:16] dougl: again, Xfce and Compiz work fine together. what problem do you have (sorry didn't read your previous posts) [20:16] KM201 has both xdce and compiz? [20:16] dougl: sad but true.. i used to really like xfce.. now, no way. thankfully lxde has become really really good, and I love it.. and use it even on my fast PC's [20:16] ok KM0201, the driver is activat, but i can not activate the card over the symbol in the tray, it is diabled http://i44.tinypic.com/riz1op.png [20:17] grit: did you activate the driver? [20:17] hey [20:17] hope some can help [20:18] I built my own kernel [20:18] 3.0.22 [20:18] but my system is installed using WUBI [20:18] you need to check your kernel, it's making you hit enter constantly [20:18] yeah [20:18] :) [20:18] sorry [20:18] lmao.. you built your own kernel, then used wubi? [20:18] KM0201, googling lxde [20:18] my system is installed using WUBI [20:18] that might be the funniest thing i've ever read here. [20:19] KM0201: Thats a good one :D [20:19] yes, of course KM0201 http://i42.tinypic.com/23moun7.png [20:19] KM0201: uhm, I use wubi and I compiled my own kernel on it. what's so funny? [20:19] so the problem is that my own kernel is stuck in initramfs [20:19] I can still boot using others [20:19] dipper: did you generate an initrd.img? [20:19] Gnea: just strikes me as totally ridiculous. [20:19] what's the different [20:19] yeah [20:19] I did [20:19] dipper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:19] KM0201: your attitude it what's rediculous. help or get out. [20:20] Gnea: get bent,.. i've been helping.. if you don't like it leave yourself [20:20] dipper: okay, using make-kpkg? and what version of ubuntu? [20:20] KM0201: careful now.. just because you've been helping doesn't give you the right to laugh at someone elses problem. [20:20] grit: try this [20:20] Gnea: whatever, if you don't like it /IGNORE [20:20] anyone recommend a modern gui util for comparing binary files? not diff based (for text files) [20:20] KM0201: no. [20:20] KM0201, thats enough [20:20] what should i try?? [20:20] Gnea, lets move on please [20:21] grit: did you restart after activating the driver? [20:21] Gnea: i generated my kernel as Ubuntu documentation describes, I got deb packages, REASON says = ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/ not found [20:21] yes of course but i will try it again [20:21] brb [20:21] grit: no, thats ok [20:22] ok [20:22] if you already restarted, restarting again isn't gonna do anything [20:22] grit: open a terminal [20:22] ok done [20:22] guys which was the command to set default browser, update-default something? [20:22] dipper: okay, well as of 10.04, the initrd files have to be copied manually and mkinitrd ran on its own after make-kpkg is done and the packages are installed... did you go through these steps in that order? [20:23] grit: on that link i gave you, scroll down to where it says "step 3".. and shows the two terminal commands for "temporary use with live cd's"... .. put those command sin the terminal one at a time.. and see if it activates your browser [20:23] KM0201: grit: I wonder what 'rfkill list' would show. [20:23] Gnea: I am not sure [20:23] Diamondcite: i dunno, we'll see in a second [20:23] i've had problems with the b43 driver working properly when using additional drivers, but.. who knows. === DimitrisC is now known as dimitris [20:23] dipper: well, what version are you on? lsb_release -r [20:24] Xtreme: "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" perhaps? [20:24] Gnea: I am on 3.0.0.17 and I built 3.0.22, but I actually wanted to modify the same version [20:25] Xtreme: PS there is also "update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser" [20:25] Gnea: Using the "standard" procedure for building an own kernel, you dont have to mess with the initrd/initramfs manually. [20:25] Hello. Since a few days ago I have a problem with Flash. Whenever I start a Flash-movie in any browser the plugin either seems to crash after a few seconds or stalls the brwoser(s) for some seconds. It's impossible to watch any Flash movie anymore in Browsers because they all lag every few seconds, if they don't crash. [20:25] dipper: I'm talking about ubuntu version, not kernel version [20:25] Mrokii: what browser, and what version of flash? [20:25] bekks: what could be the reason of /dev/disk/by-uuid not found [20:25] Gnea: 11.10 [20:26] dipper: Almost everything, a missing controller driver, a missing filesystem driver, etc. [20:26] Hello, i am wondering, if i would install 10.04 with its kernel, and update ubuntu can i skip its kernel update or is that required? [20:26] bekks: it's just better to use initrd, particularly when the system complains about it during bootup. [20:26] dipper: okay, and which documentation are you using? [20:26] zoellner122: The kernel updates do have a reason too, mostly bug fixes and security updates. [20:26] Diamondcite, i have try to activate with sudo rfkill unblock all but that dont work rfkill list say: http://pastebin.com/aCk93xnu [20:27] zoellner122: do you mean update to a new version of ubuntu? or update to 10.04's kernel? [20:27] to the newer version of ubuntu [20:27] KM0201, i will try [20:27] zoellner122: you can't skip the kernel! it's a requirement. [20:28] hello !! [20:28] a fresh install of natty does not support my screenlight, and some people say booting in the old kernel helps [20:28] Gnea: let me go back and read about ram disk [20:28] I read "Alternative method" [20:28] dipper: okay [20:28] !kernel [20:28] The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [20:28] my tochpad stops working several times. [20:29] khaard: Opera, Firefox and Chrome. Flash Version is 11.2.202 I think. [20:29] oops wrong nick. [20:29] Hi...is kubuntu officially supported by ubuntu? [20:29] Mrokii: try installing flash manually [20:29] irenicus09: in #kubuntu [20:29] k [20:30] sry was just curious :p [20:30] irenicus09: i'm pretty sure it is recognized by canonical [20:30] KM0201: k [20:31] KM0201: but I read some where that it's no longer officially funded by ubuntu but by some other corp. [20:31] irenicus09: the news (a little while ago) was canonical is no longer paying anyone to work on kubuntu - it's community now. [20:31] after installing ntpd how do i force it to update the date? [20:31] KM0201, i have type in the terminal sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb and then sudo modprobe b43 but nothing changed [20:31] irenicus09: ah ok, i wasn't aware of that [20:31] KM0201: I'll try, though I think I already did that. Do you know if I have to restart the system or should Flash be detected automatically? === amarelo_ is now known as amarelo [20:32] zykotick9: k thnx [20:32] Mrokii: i would think automatically detected, i've never had a problem with it being auto detected [20:32] Okay. [20:32] Mrokii: how did you try to install it manually? [20:33] Today I figured out a problem that is affecting a lot of users out there using ubuntu 11.10 [20:33] brb [20:33] grit: i really don't know.. usually i install the b43 driver "manually".. and it works fine.. obviously something is fubar... [20:34] squid: how to change unity back to gnome 2.x? [20:34] KM0201: I think I tried Synaptic, removing and reinstalling it. And then a Firefox-extension named "Flash Aid" that is supposed to install the correct version. Didn't help. [20:34] hmm, ok thank you for now, i think i have to try by myself [20:34] it seems as if when you try to configure an IP address static....the /etc/resolv.conf file gets overriden by the network-manager [20:34] Mrokii: thats not really installing manually [20:34] KM0201: So what exactly do you mean? [20:34] the solution is to use nameserver in front of the dns server addresses.... [20:34] Mrokii: what version of ubuntu are you using again? [20:35] KM0201: 11.10 x64 [20:35] squid: use "lschatt +i /etc/resolv.conf" to make it immutable and it wont get overwritten [20:35] Mrokii: i'm not really following - but if you have more then one version of flash installed from the repos, it can cause issues. [20:35] the command to fix it is like this.... echo 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' >> /etc/resolv.conf [20:35] Mrokii: go to http://www.adobe.com then click downloads then "get flash player" [20:35] squid: "lschattr*" [20:36] zykotick9: I think that is what Flash Aid was supposed to repair, removing conflicting versions. [20:36] Mrokii: once on that page, where it says "Select version to Download"... choose ".tar.gz for linux" [20:36] irenicus09: i tried that and it didn't work....i actually google extensibly and that was one of the first things i tried. [20:37] irenicus09, will chattr prevent uid 0 from doin whateverit wants [20:37] Mrokii: flashaid is firefox limited probably, i'm talking about ubuntu's repository stuff - flash flash-nonfree gnash (all that sorta stuff) [20:38] squid: I got the perfect solution for you- "http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=26845" [20:38] zykotick9: Nope, Flash Aid created a bash script that deinstalled my version and installed another one. [20:39] Mrokii: if you do what i told you, this will resolve in about 10 seconds [20:39] KM0201: here is how you do it... [20:40] KM0201: Just download and extracted the archive. [20:40] hi [20:40] Mrokii: right click the "libflashplayer.so" file and click copy [20:40] hello [20:40] what kind of problem do u have with libflashplayer ? [20:40] Mrokii: then go to /home/username/.mozilla (you might need to click "View/Show hidden files/directories" too see this directory) [20:41] KM0201: it's very simple...just watch this short video with the instructions. http://paste.ubuntu.com/940193/ [20:41] KM0201: Then into "plugins" I asssume? [20:41] squid: i don't even remember what you rproblem was [20:41] Mrokii: affirmative [20:42] done [20:42] anyone knows any touchscreen driver for ubuntu 11.10 ? [20:42] Mrokii: now, close any instance of a browser running [20:42] KM0201: you said you wanted to change unity to gnome [20:42] hey how do you turn a set of images into a pdf [20:42] and restart your browser [20:42] I have recently installed ubuntu on my laptop. I am using unity2D as it lags less. the problem is that when I click on dash home, it opens up but it is not full screen. is there a way I can make it full screen? [20:42] anyone knows any touchscreen driver for ubuntu 11.10 ? guyssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss help me out [20:42] Ammar: are you using a VM? [20:42] I need a little help getting my microphone working. When I first installed, I had nothing. I went into alsamixer and changed the input source to "Internal Mic" and it works, except theres an enormous amount of static. I reinstalled the realtek drivers and I've also tried lowering the capture volume. But I can't get rid of the static. I've already tried googling it and can't seem to find a solution [20:42] squid: lmao, that was a joke. (cuz you said you figured out how to fix a major problem with 11.10... i know how to install gnome 2.x in 11.10) === jacques_ is now known as Guest68175 [20:43] KM0201: lol.. [20:43] no I installed it using the CD [20:43] just trying to help some newbies out.... [20:43] replaced my windows with it [20:43] squid [20:43] hi [20:43] Have any of you been to Computer renaissance? [20:43] hi Walters. [20:43] irenicus09, i doubt chattr would work. although resolv.conf will be immutable its more likely that any application will replace resolv.conf with a new copy, and chattr on the file won't prevent a removal/move of the file [20:44] hey dude [20:44] how u doin [20:44] alright [20:44] Random832: install imagemagick, then: convert image1 image2 ... imagen output.pdf; [20:44] Ammar_: you nuked windows right out of the gate? i hope you've got restore cd's [20:44] squid do u know any thing about touchscreen in ubuntu ? [20:44] Walters: touchscreen drivers come with ubuntu already. [20:45] trism: can i crop at the same time? i don't know the magic rules for imagemagick - and how do i tell it the images are 200dpi? [20:45] Yes I did create a restore CD and a full backup [20:45] Gnea , i have a T1005 Gigabyte netbook and touchscreen doesnt work [20:45] Walters: nope [20:45] omg some many problem in the same time :) [20:45] escott: a file with immutable set cannot be modified or deleted, not even as root. there may be other reasons (filesystem doesn't support extended attributes or such) [20:45] I need a little help getting my microphone working properly. When I first installed, I had nothing. I went into alsamixer and changed the input source to "Internal Mic" and it works, except theres an enormous amount of static.

[20:46] ok thanks quid [20:46] Random832: yes you can do all of that, I never remember the proper switches though, you would have to look it up [20:46] squid * sry [20:46] !repeat | blnk [20:46] blnk: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:46] Walters, there is an #Ubuntu-touch irc channel here on Freenode. [20:46] @blink don't paste the same problem [20:46] Walters: touchscreen in ubuntu is like getting rid of the shell altogether... [20:46] squid: ever use an android device? [20:46] mrsuchyPL: no @ is needed :-) [20:47] i dont follow :S [20:47] KM0201: Nope, didn't help. Flash in FX still stalls the whole browser every few seconds. [20:47] Walters: lol...that was my next quest. [20:47] sry I dont know this software i mean xchat [20:47] mirko2, try it. i absolutely can delete an immutable file. i can't modify it in place, but i can delete it [20:47] squid: that statement made no sense. android devices run linux, they are fully touchscreen, and they have commandlines. :) [20:47] Mrokii: dunno, when i had the problem you were having, thats what i done, and it works fine.. is it working in other browsers? (chrome for example?) === aristide_ is now known as aristidesfl [20:48] mrsuchyPL: xchat is the program you are using right now to talk with us. [20:48] Mrokii: I delete llibflashplayer.so and I dont have any problem with FF [20:48] Gnea: follow the chat from the begg [20:48] mirko2, unless i typoed somewhere [20:49] Walters: what device do you have? [20:49] mirko2, nevermind, must have put a -i when i meant a +i when i was testing [20:49] squid: 15:45 < Walters> Gnea , i have a T1005 Gigabyte netbook and touchscreen doesnt work [20:49] KM0201: Nope, doesn't work in other browsers either. Thanks anyway. [20:50] ...it made all but one page of it super small [20:50] mrsuchyPL: It isn't only FX but every browser I have tried, so it must be a system-problem. [20:50] i think it can't figure out what the dpi is of the source image, and -density command line option doesn't work [20:50] Walters: also, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GigabyteT1005 [20:51] Mrokii if u use flash oly for lookin movie in youtube Yuo cany delete it bcs u can watch movie in html5 [20:51] do you know that ? [20:51] Gnea: what lsbrelease u using? [20:52] 11.10? [20:52] squid: 10.04 on this system, 11.04 on another [20:52] mrsuchyPL: I heard about it, but I sometimes need Flash-support for other things. [20:52] I see [20:53] Gnea: I found this on the Ubuntu Docs http://paste.ubuntu.com/940209/ [20:53] I heard that libflashplayer.so is stable in chrome webbroswer [20:53] ok, i just loaded it in gimp [20:53] and apparently my stupid scanner saved the metadata as 8.5x11 _centimeters_ [20:54] how do i change the metadata dpi of a png without changing anthing else? [20:55] mrsuchyPL: I amusing chromium and it works fine with flashplyer [20:56] Random832: make sure you have the switches in the correct order, if I were converting a pdf to images: convert test.pdf -density 200 output.jpg; will give me tiny images, but: convert -density 200 test.pdf output.jpg; gives me large ones [20:57] Random832: I imagine it would be the same the other way around [20:57] squid, maybe I wrong but chromiom and chrome are difrent web browser [20:57] chromium is open source... [20:58] sorry i thought you were talking bout chromium [20:58] go to the software center and install the flash plugin from there it should work [20:59] I have a issue. not sure on where to ask. Laptop Dv9810us. Dual op sys. Stripped down xp pro and ubuntu beta. wanted to reinstall both OS's. Deleted the Ubuntu partitions (followed a online page for this as i couldnt find an uninstall option). deleted two partitions from xp disk manager for ubuntu. Now "error partion not found" "Grub rescue> message> Cannot change anything in bios menu it... [20:59] ...all says disabled no option to boot from disc or usb. what can i do? I do not have an adapter to connect the hard drive like an external harddrive to another pc [21:00] Hey, Im having a problem with LightDM acting up on boot. [21:00] When I boot up, LightDM doesnt start. Running LightDM restart lets me launch gnome. [21:00] Any guesses as to why LightDM fails on boot, but without changing anything, a restart fixes it? Im assuming its reading from some other config when being run by me than when being run on boot? Would that make sense? [21:00] pc, repair your MBR with your windows disc [21:01] hey guys, how can i make an application show up in my software center? i installed it buy copying contents from a tar.gz file to /opt/ but it doesnt seem to be "in the registry" (if you allow my to speak windows language) [21:01] pc: the boot manager (grub) is still installed. get your windows installation cd, go to a recovery mode and run the command fixmbr [21:01] it wont run my windows disc or hirens [21:01] no option except for HD [21:01] bye [21:02] or the same question asked differently: what happens when i install an application with ./configure and make install, that adds the application to the ubuntu software center? [21:02] squid: I tried installing Flash via Software Center and it didn't help either. [21:02] joethetree: what application is this? You have to install a .deb for software manager to know about it [21:02] if i go to boot options or order all that comes up is notebook hard drive now [21:03] joethetree, no that is compiling [21:03] joethetree: things you install from source are not going to be known by apt. see "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for something that creates DEBs from source packages. [21:03] jrib: its an old version of firefox [21:03] joethetree: why? :/ [21:03] joethetree: if you compile/install from source and the software apears in the software center, then the building actually created a .deb file and installed that [21:04] joethetree: mixing firefox versions isn't going to make apt happy - so disregard what i said. [21:04] joethetree, if you make uninstall too, that would be nice [21:04] Does anyone know why my sound would end up being so low... [21:04] that is cool as all cool can be with the checkinstall.How does it know about the control file and postinst and what not ? [21:04] jrib: i just need the old firefox because i've got a selenium script which only works with that version of firefox. but now it cannot find the browser application because ive just unpacked it and not "installed" properly [21:05] bobweaver: it doesn't; it creates a super stupid package. You shouldn't use it. Instead, create a proper package if you're sure you need to (i.e. one doesn't already exist). /msg ubottu packaging [21:05] jrib, thanks I am building a package and wanted to make sure that I was not missing something that is so easy [21:06] DarkAngel, have you tried adjusting volume in alsamixer [21:06] jrib: do to the uninstall - i think checkinstall is a huge improvement over just install directly from source. [21:06] zykotick9: i am not mixing, just replacing [21:06] jrib: s/do/due/ [21:06] joethetree: well either point the script to the version of firefox in /opt or link the version of firefox that's sitting in /opt somewhere in your $PATH. But really, I'd advise against running old versions of web browsers.... [21:06] jrib: i am running this in a sandboxed test environment, the browser is not used for anything else [21:07] could i run ubuntu from this working pc take out my gf's hard drive and put mine in then reformat mine from there without losing her hard drive data? [21:07] delntz I forgot how to get into alsmixer.. the voulme was fine last night and now it is so low you can not hear it unless you turn off everything in the room [21:07] DarkAngel, just go to terminal and enter 'alsamixer' [21:07] oh ok thank you [21:08] jrib: ok, i think the path was what i was aiming for, cannot adjust the script cause i dont have the source [21:09] how do i get notification from yahoo users while my pidgin is closed? [21:10] pc why not? Do your HDD or hers put anything in teh BIOS? [21:11] back to yesterdays discussion [21:11] Lint, pardon? [21:11] ubuntu cannot access the files on a shared partition claiming they owned by user 500 [21:12] i installed a few programs how do i run them? I am new to ubuntu desktop [21:12] other distro can, but it has no user or group called 500 [21:12] Lint: what is the path to such a file?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [21:15] OK, then some program or script simply did a "chown 500 /path/to/file" [21:15] Lint: the user-id attached to a dentry doesn't have to exist on the system :s [21:16] I don´t know why do you want me to perform destructive activity of my files, while I can access them normally as uid 1000, but not in ubuntu [21:16] Lint: you can likely fix it with "sudo chown $USER /path/to/file" [21:16] Lint: no one asked you to perform anything to your files... [21:16] mystMan: from the menu? what programs are those? [21:17] like netbeans [21:17] Lint: can you pastebin the information asked of you? And can you also answer mirko2's question? [21:17] Lint: "grep 500 /etc/passwd" would search the file /etc/passwd for the text string "500" and show you any lines that contained it [21:18] IntuitiveNipple, I checked specially, there´s no user 500. it show 500 500 on both systems [21:18] but in fedora, I can access them, in ubuntu not [21:18] Lint: user 500 does not exist on your trouble cause distro, either you create one and match up the user IDs, or better, you use group permissions [21:18] witch is better ubuntu alternate or ubuntu desktop [21:18] Lint: maybe Fedora uses 500 for some special sharing purpose [21:19] raven, they are the same, only installer is different [21:19] no the arent [21:20] Is there some known performance issue in precise with flash? [21:20] raven: end result should basically be the same [21:20] alternate youses les memory [21:20] rodayo, what's the problem ? [21:20] raven: this isn't true...

[21:20] no no [21:20] Ahix, since I installed precise yesterday i noticed that this flash game i play started lagging very noticeably [21:20] rodayo: I've not noticed any issues with Flash on Precise amd64 [21:21] raven: well the alternate desktop install and the regular desktop install will leave you with basically the same system after install. What is your question? [21:21] rodayo: Could it be the system isn't using 3D hardware-accelerated video drivers such as nvidia? [21:21] rodayo, which flash version are you running ? [21:22] Funny you should IntuitiveNipple, I had to install a 3D accelerated gfx card too...but maybe that installation didn't go as I planned? [21:22] rodayo: worth checking - usually easy to sort out (*touches wood) [21:23] Lint: I also read "New UID and GID ranges" for Fedora 16, seems they used to uses 500 as the mimium user account IDs (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Changes_for_Sysadmin.html) [21:24] IntuitiveNipple, I doubt that might be the problem...I'm looking at the ATI catalyst control center program and highperformance GPU is enabled... [21:24] but my fedora´s account is 1000, it is evident from my home folder permissions, just like in ubuntu [21:25] rodayo, are the others flash apps running normaly. youtube for example [21:25] rodayo: OK... so maybe look on the web for some Flash performance testing applications, see if you can compare that system's performance with other peoples results to see if its in the right area, or lagging behind generally? [21:25] Ahix, yep nothing wrong there but I've only been trying everything out since yesterday [21:25] I thought that youtube is now pushing something that is not flash at all ? [21:25] Are there other processes or shells that a normal user doesn't see that source ~/.profile? When I renamed it, my own launchers wouldn't work because they relied on scripts in ~/bin [21:25] plus I think the youtube team makes a really effecient flash player [21:25] How do I upgrade to 12.04 beta without having to download and put on a disc? I'm using 11.10 [21:26] my thumnails seem to all be banners, any way to change them all to poster?

[22:22] anyone? [22:22] xrandr [22:23] sigh ._. [22:23] meduser: what's the issue again? [22:24] trying to set up dual monitors in Ubuntu 12.04, display says one large monitor(3280X1040), I have 2 20 monitors === malik_ is now known as malik__ [22:24] display says it is a laptop display. My pc is a desktop [22:24] meduser: Are you using an nvidia graphics card? [22:24] yes, 9800 I believe === Nisstyre is now known as nisstyre === nisstyre is now known as Nisstyre [22:25] david_: 404 on what? [22:25] meduser: I'm guessing your system will be using the proprietary Nvidia driver. You can't use the standard system display app to configure the displays, instead you need to use "nvidia-settings" [22:25] I tried setting up the nvidia, as dual monitor with twinview, but display still showed laptop 3280 x 1040 [22:26] meduser: hmm, nvidia-settings shows it as one display?! [22:26] It seems like I lose one of the two monitors if I activate any nvidia [22:26] Hi, I need to dual-boot Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.04 [22:26] hi all , I am facing a strange problem with ubuntu 10.04. my system intermittently refuses to accept password, i cant even unlock the screen after a screensaver.. although i am sure i used the correct and same password that i used to login for the first time when i switched ON the PC. [22:26] I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed now, need to install Windows XP [22:26] can you only get package via apt-get that are in the repository [22:26] david_: *duck duck goes for a mirror of wizardpen-0.6.0.2.tar.gz* :) [22:26] nvidia x server shows it as 2, the right sizes and all, display in Ubuntu shows as one large display [22:27] jackdack, packages.ubuntu.com you mean? [22:27] meduser: Ignore what the Ubuntu app shows, alwyas use nvidia-settings. [22:27] hoe do I direct the chat toward one person? [22:27] !tab | meduser [22:27] meduser: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:27] meduser: nvidia doesn't provide the correct interfaces from its software for the Xrandr display app to show the information [22:28] pse guys i have a problem with skype...in particular...the mic does not work...how can i do with my ubuntu 10.4?? [22:28] bazhang, yeah I've go an outdated package that i need to upgrade and I don't think the repo has it [22:28] IntuitiveNipple: have nothing activated with nvidia [22:28] root12: check alsamixer [22:28] david_: and there you are - http://digitalbluewave.blogspot.com/2008/10/genius-wizardpen-with-intrepid-ibex.html [22:28] have fun :D [22:29] IntuitiveNipple: if I activate I lose a monitor, and nothing seems right.. [22:29] Can anyone please help me ?????? [22:29] ok...but i don't know the procedure [22:29] are there any themes compatible with 12.04 [22:29] meduser: hmmm, sounds weird. I use multi monitors on Nvidia, never had a problem unless one of the monitors doesn't tell the graphics card its capabilities using EDID [22:30] I have tried numerous times on two different pcs, and always seem to have the same issue..lol...It has to be me [22:30] where can i set alsa mixer??? [22:30] root12: in terminal, alsamixer [22:30] IntuitiveNipple: that was at you..lol [22:30] just type alsamixer [22:30] meduser: it's you :p [22:30] ok just 1 moment....i try it [22:30] Has anyone tested VirtualDJ LE in WINE? [22:31] IntuitiveNipple: thats what I thought..lol [22:31] meduser: it's almost impossible for me to diagnose the issue without being telepathic I'm afraid, it sounds like you're almost there but need to master nvidia-settings [22:31] malik__: you're going to hate me for this, but make your caps-lock of. does your password work elsewhere (like with sudo commands?) [22:33] IntuitiveNipple: I am running NVIDIA driver version 295.40...at the bottom of system info, it says screens:1, but in the GPU-0(geforce 9600gt) settings it shows DFP-0-(Acer X203w), DFP-1-(Acer X203h) [22:33] MirkoKa, i am not hating you... because I am messing withthis problem for last three days. No caps locks issue. and as i said at one time it works and at another it does not. For example: The session i am currently working in I need to try a dozen times before i could login [22:33] Hello how can I add mouse click sound to my ubuntu ? just like in mac? [22:34] meduser: "screens" usually refers to a logical concept of "screens" for the X server. Do no confuse those with the "monitors" [22:34] meduser: I'm using Twinview with 2 monitors (one above the other) on one X screen [22:34] ok...the alsamixer pannel is opened...an then??? [22:35] i have this problem i want to get rid of these ptp from ifconfig...i see i have as0t0-00 all the way to as0t3-00 how do i reset ll that or remove them [22:36] meduser: think of X "screens" as virtual displays ... more than one monitor can be combined to form one screen [22:36] rest all of them* [22:36] IntuitiveNipple: both of mine say twinview..is that wrong? [22:36] meduser: no, that's correct. Are both monitors active and displaying content? [22:37] yes they are, and I can move windows from screen to screen..it seems right [22:38] malik__: ok, so does your password work with sudo commands in a terminal window? this is just a very wild guess, but perhaps it's an input device problem. have never seen anything like this. [22:38] IntuitiveNipple: they seem normal, but I thought the display from Ubuntu reading as one large dispaly meant there was an error [22:39] Sounds like it's working properly. As I said, because the Nvidia driver doesn't communicate with Xrandr (X resolution and rate) the open-source apps can't know about the multiple monitors [22:39] hi all [22:39] IntuitiveNipple: is there a way to make sure 3d graphics are on? [22:39] meduser: Mine is telling me I have a Laptop monitor 1920x1880 ! [22:39] ? [22:40] IntuitiveNipple: ok..just when I was on Kubuntu, the displays always seemed to be right in KDE.. [22:41] meduser: from a terminal try "glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' " and look for "direct rendering: Yes" and "OpenGL vendor string:NVIDIA Corporation" [22:41] I like the notepad-type editors better in kde. [22:41] Ubuntu vs Windows 7 anyone? [22:42] my linux wont pick up my wireless network .. Its a netgear it can pick up everyone elses .. and no my networks not hidden [22:42] sure [22:42] sentriz,... I can discuss it with you. [22:42] is there a group on free node that discusses nzbs? [22:42] sentriz: prefer Ubuntu 10 -1 [22:43] ooo [22:43] why? [22:43] hi bassy. what type of encryption are you using ? [22:43] meduser, why? [22:44] sentriz: I like the freedom. I have everything pretty much set up nbetter than I have ever had it in any Windows, and everything works. I prefer the terminal, and like the OSS philosophy [22:44] sentriz: get terminal in windows if you can :D [22:45] uh, CMD? [22:45] IntuitiveNipple: not getting any response..just dropped a line and gave me an > [22:45] CMD for what? lol [22:45] true [22:45] yeah, i think ill dual boot! :) [22:45] meduser: I think you missed a closing single quote mark [22:45] but not with wubi, right? [22:45] meduser: press Ctrl+C to break out [22:46] meduser: try again: glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' [22:46] sentriz: cmd works ok, but the way windows is set up, it seems to take a lot more knowledge to handle the cmd compared to the terminal. I just like the layout, feel, and community that Ubuntu brings [22:47] oooo [22:47] i see [22:47] sentriz: can you do ssh root@xxx in windows? [22:47] amaroks, well, what does that do lol [22:47] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, missing the closing '....done know says::~$ glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' direct rendering: Yes server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation server glx version string: 1.4 client glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation client glx version string: 1.4 GLX version: 1.4 OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9600 GT/PCIe/SSE2/3DNOW! OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.40 [22:47] gettons: sorry about the delay in response .. its 64bit [22:47] that lets you ssh to any server [22:47] hi i am trying to get gnome shell extension to work properly and give me the customized options in gnome tweak tool in ubuntu 11.10 but for some reason i can't see things like dock extension [22:47] IntuitiveNipple: so yes, looks like 3d is running [22:48] amaroks, ssh? [22:48] while in damn windows it needs putty , open putty , type IP , click open [22:48] sucks [22:48] ah [22:48] can you guys run this java applet with your browser on ubuntu? [22:48] https://ticket.deutschestheater.de/eventim.webshop/webticket/shop?&event=10048&language=de [22:48] does anyone know how to get gnome tweak tool to show the gnome shell extension option [22:48] meduser: all that looks perfect [22:48] I've set up my first ubuntu server and it was hell. I'm thinking of using puppet to speed up deployment when I do this in the future. thoughts? [22:48] I have been all my life a windows , I tried ubuntu for sometime and then back to windows but missed terminal.... [22:49] i use chromium and firefox btw [22:49] I'm currently reading 'Rebel Code' by Glyn Moody [22:49] but i can't get that java link running [22:49] it shows a grey box [22:49] now if I ever login to windows is because of need for Adobe CS5 [22:49] ah yeah [22:49] couldnt you use wine? [22:49] wine won't run anything sentriz [22:49] IntuitiveNipple: so UNity shouldbe able to run properly then right? [22:50] amaroks, wine can run cs [22:51] CS2 I think [22:51] sentriz are you still there? [22:51] I couldn't run 3 , 4 5 [22:51] amaroks, it runs adobe digital editions for me and lets me read drm books from librarys around the world [22:51] meduser: yes. it should [22:51] amaroks, oh [22:51] i am [22:52] puppet vs chef? any thoughts? [22:52] amaroks, not a wine expert so can't help, but have you contacted the wine authors because they might be able to help u [22:52] shlomo: works for me with epiphany, doesn't work with FF (since the Java plugin i disablef) [22:52] is epiphany a browser? [22:52] ghostnik11: yeah it just can't run it yet [22:52] probably in the near future [22:52] amaroks, oh sorry bro, adobe should just allow there products to run on linux [22:53] MirkoKa, thx, i'll try it with the other browser [22:53] shlomo: yes, it's the default gnome browser. [22:53] they will not for at least the next10 years [22:54] can someone help me .. my wireless wont show up in linux .. its not a hidden network and its 64bit encryption [22:56] Anyone know if having power save enabled on your wifi card affects signal strength? [22:56] sometimes .. depends on your battery settings [22:56] its a desktop pc [22:56] then no [22:57] wrostek, should not affect signal strength. some routers have a hard time with wireless cards that turn off at times (although those should be rarer these days) [22:57] I have 56% signal in same room, 3 feet away, the only thing I can see wrong is the wifi card has power save on === optikx is now known as optik [22:58] someone wanna help me now? [22:58] my wifi wont connect [22:58] ubuntu 12.04, first time trying ubuntu - long time fan of linux mint, would be perfect if i could have this on my android device as like the recently announced ubuntu for android [22:59] I wanted to test setting power save off on the wifi card, but iwconfig wlan0 power off - results in Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) [22:59] Is there another way to disable it? [22:59] wrostek, those percentages aren't that meaningful. without knowing what dB the signal is coming out of the router how do you know? 56% of what? maximum fcc allowable? only thing that matters is if packets get dropped [23:00] where is sound preference in ubuntu 11.04? [23:00] signal is -55 and noise is -70 [23:00] old versions had that and where I can enable mouse click sound [23:02] I mean, the ubuntu box with the wifi card is the AP, and I have a router in repeater mode, and a macbook both three feet away in the same room, and they both claim the AP has signal of -55 and noise of -70 [23:02] wrostek, so signal is 31.6 times as strong as the noise. sounds good. [23:02] Does anyone here use the arbitrary-precision calculator bc? [23:03] ELQEYNN, yes [23:03] the SNR is 15 [23:03] ELQEYNN: sometimes, yes [23:03] thats not good [23:03] Anyone know how to disable power save on a wifi card without using iwconfig? [23:04] That's one thing one can access only via shell commands. [23:04] ELQEYNN: not anymore, i use ipython, what's your question anyway [23:04] Does ipython give you any precision of calculations that you want? [23:05] ELQEYNN, there will be gmp libraries for pythong [23:05] doh [23:06] MirkoKa, it doesn't work with "epiphany", it says missing plugin. The thing is, it used to work with FF but the website says there is a new java version. Is this new java version also available for ubuntu browsers? [23:06] ELQEYNN: not as automatic as bc does, but with round() yes. [23:06] wrostek: Maybe accessing it via the /sys/interface? e.g. manipulating /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/device/tx_power [23:07] I don't like perl. [23:07] why does my IP keep getting set by DHCP when i have static set in /interfaces? [23:08] it just started happening all of a sudden [23:08] Doesn't your router have SHCP wired into it? [23:08] i dunno, never heard of that [23:08] shlomo: since I have never manually installed the FF java browser plugin on this box, I guess yes. maybe you should do and apt-get upgrade [23:08] intuitiveNipple, how would I do that? echo off > /sys/class/net/wlan0/phy80211/device/power/control [23:08] Doesn't your router have DHCP wired into it? [23:09] how to get startup manager on ubuntu 12.04 [23:09] yea, but i use dhcp for wireless devices [23:09] wrostek: From looking at it, it looks to be an integer value. Do some Googling, see if it can be used that way [23:09] servers and workstation are all set static [23:09] In Perl, what's "323" + "1279J" ? [23:09] ELQEYNN: this is Python ;-) but anyway, aside from trying math programs like octave, what is your actual problem please [23:10] I installed Ubuntu minimal yesterday and there is no sound. I have looked at all the alsa drivers and such and they are all installed. Is there something I am missing? [23:10] rikstation: click the gear icon top-right, choose "Startup Applications..." [23:10] As I said, MiokoKa, arbitrary-precision calculation. [23:11] oooooh i just found address reservation in dhcp settings... didnt see that before... hope this works :) [23:11] IntuitiveNipple, thanks for your reply, but i wish to have startup-manager not startup applications, i wish to control grub effectivly using it [23:12] ELQEYNN: and you're unhappy with bc? [23:12] rikstation: Ahhh! you mean the GUI application to manage the boot loader? [23:13] IntuitiveNipple, yes thats correct, in linux mint i just downloaded startup-manger but it doesnt seem to be in the repos here [23:13] IntuitiveNipple, first day using ubuntu [23:14] rikstation: It is, as "startupmanager" BUT I'm reading it hasn't been keeping pace with GRUB2. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager [23:14] rikstation: And welcome to Ubuntu! [23:14] !info startupmanager [23:14] startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub, Usplash and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional.

I have looked at all the alsa drivers and such and they are all installed. Is there something I am missing? [23:17] nosoundpleasehel, probably need to load the modules. on top of which the minimal probably won't have things like pulseaudio so you might want that [23:18] !sound | nosoundpleasehel have to looked at this stuff? [23:18] nosoundpleasehel have to looked at this stuff?: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [23:19] what is the command for finding what drivers you have? [23:19] Hi, Ubuntu. I just updated ubuntu and now i'm getting "client denied by server configuration" in my apache error log. I can't seem to access my sites. anyone know what's changed that could be causing the problem? [23:19] does anyone know the best way to go about dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 11.10 with UEFI? I've look around on the forums and Google and can't find anything that looks like a sure method [23:20] jeremiah_: lsmod [23:20] dirkle, you will need the grub-efi bootloader instead of the grub-pc bootloader [23:21] thanks. === DaemonFC` is now known as DaemonFC === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [23:31] hi, i have a database of 11 million records, each record having 4 columns of data. i want to create an api that allows you to search the database of records by a varchar column. does anyone know if there's a more effective way to store the data than in mysql and querying with a fulltext index? [23:32] boxbeatsy - what are you searching for? [23:32] grep? [23:32] boxbeatsy: How often does the data change? [23:32] the data never changes [23:32] dj_segfault: the data never changes [23:33] one big table of data in a flat file seems like a reasonable choice. why not use grep? [23:33] boxbeatsy: ask in a (my)sql group [23:33] You want them to search for the value of a SPECIFIC field or all fields? [23:33] aggrav8d: each row has a 'keyword' column and i'ms earching for the ten closest matches to the keyword along with the corresponding data [23:33] boxbeatsy - I'd sort them alphabetically. [23:34] boxbeatsy: Are there multiple keywords in the keyword field delimited by something? [23:34] do that once and build an index for the first few letters. [23:34] dj_segfault: yea, keywords can be phrases and search queries can also be phrases [23:34] ah, so you're matching any part of the keyword, or the entire keyword? === mersault_ is now known as mersault [23:35] boxbeatsy: If that's the case, a database index won't do you any good, and you might as well use grep as others have said. That way you can even allow regular expressions [23:35] ya, i'm matching any part of the keyword. so alphabetizing might not help. [23:35] no, bubblebuddy, I will not join #dongforce. wtf. [23:36] I got that too. [23:36] Can someone kick dongforce? [23:36] also 11 million records is not all that big. maybe a gig or two. How fast do you need the searches to be? [23:36] I just updated ubuntu and now i'm getting "client denied by server configuration" in my apache error log. I can't seem to access my sites. anyone know what's causing the problem? Google hasn't helped. [23:36] cfedde: less than 100ms is my goal [23:37] aggrav8d: Without more information I would say your apache config is now set to respond to localhost only [23:37] when you say use grep, are you suggesting i set up a simple paste webserver and then grep a text file with all the data for a keyword and then sorting in programming logic? [23:37] dj_segfault - how might i confirm that? [23:37] CAN SOMEONE KICK DONGFORCE IN HIS PRIVATE PARTS PLEASE!! [23:38] Try going to http://localhost on a browser on the server [23:38] our forces combine, activate floodbot! [23:38] Wonderpowers ACTIVATE! [23:38] boxbeatsy: you did not say anyting up front about a web front end. But sure. a text field to collect the string and then grep agains the data seems like a simple approach. [23:38] hello, "|" in the command-line forwards the output to the following command. is there a way to forward each line seperately to the subsequent command? [23:39] dj_segfault - yeah, looks like you were right. please: how do i fix it? [23:39] I'm very ignorant about running a server. [23:39] * aggrav8d really should just run a virtual lamp stack in on his home machine. [23:39] robde: generator command | while read l; do stuff with $l; done [23:40] hi] [23:40] hi [23:40] robde: #bash would likely be a better place for info of that nature. :) [23:40] aggrav8d: gimme a sec to look it up [23:40] how often do you need to search? does the pattern change? id the search needed on multiple systesm, do you even have a plain text "print-out" of the database? etc, greping on databases is absurd not to say  ridiculous, ask an SQL forum for the real way :-) [23:40] robde: and if "do stuff" is simple enough then try xargs [23:40] on 11.10 and when i go into workspace switcher it keep displaying 4 desktops really small in a row and not a 2x2 grid no matter what settings i change, anyone know hwy? [23:40] dj_segfault - when i go to "is ___ down or is it just me?" the site says just me. [23:41] hmmm ok i wil give that a try. thank you everyone for your help! [23:41] dj_segfault: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/reverb-marketing.com [23:42] aggrav8d: You should see a block at the top of the conf file that says something (probably localhost) then ":80" Change the thing before the colon to "*" and restart the server [23:43] Is it formal that sometimes downloading packages from "main server" become unreachable? I can not install from Main Server by that error ! [23:43] aggrav8d: Are you using virtualhosts? [23:44] I have compiz set as a 2x2 workspace grid, why are the workspaces not showing as 2x2?
