[00:00] Klikini: I've seen that when the video driver doesn't quite match the video card chipset [00:00] It happens when resuming from suspend. The icons and the launcher both turn to multicoloured vertical lines. [00:00] So how do I fix that for them? [00:00] I also need to change their boot resolution. [00:01] huh. I restarted ubuntu, tried to surf to the page, it failed, and there's no mention in access.log, error.log, auth.log, or fail2ban.log. [00:01] aggrav8d: Then you could have 80 blocked from your server by your firewall. How did you configure your firewall? [00:01] woah! Every 5 seconds I'm getting two connections via pure-ftp from localhost.localdomain. [00:02] sorry, one connection and immediate timeout. [00:02] wtf. [00:02] * aggrav8d squints at bubblebuddy. [00:02] Klikini: It could be incompatible video modes. But I've seen it happen with bad drivers. Unfortunately I'm running 10.04 still so I can't help you out that much from there since so much has changed since then. [00:03] aggrav8d: Don't look at him wrong or he'll poke you in the eye with it [00:05] aggrav8d: pure-ftp is probably talking to the server to support WebDAV, if their website is to be believed. Tell it not to do that. [00:06] I don't even have pureftpd installed. at least, sudo apt-get remove pureftpd says I don't. [00:07] how do I change the boot resolution in 11.10? [00:07] does anyone know how to add custom icons in ubuntu 11.10 [00:07] hi, new to linux here, just opend vigr according to a tutorial but it doesnt say how to close this window, could someone please advise? [00:07] @ghostnik11: right-click item, click properties, then click the icon and choose an image file to replace it. [00:07] camc - colon, q. [00:07] :q [00:08] aggrav8d: Try pure-ftpd [00:08] moving or deleting the image file will revert it, so save it somewhere you won't mess with it (like Pictures > ico) [00:08] CamC: what tutorial...? read something more appropriate :) [00:08] klikini, i mean like where is the folder located so i can get the option in advanced setting to switch all of the icons to match a theme [00:08] I don't know that. [00:08] dj_segfault - not installed, so not removed. [00:09] its about installing svnjrib [00:09] Klikini, cool, thanks bro for the help [00:09] np [00:09] jrib its about installing SVN [00:09] CamC: ok, sounds like you are not familiar with apt. Do you know about APT? [00:10] as in apt-get ? [00:10] CamC: yeah. [00:10] yeah thats where I started, [00:10] dj_segfault: can you see my website? http://www.reverb-marketing.com/rcr/ [00:10] but then there is stuff about adding username to the passwords list [00:10] btw :q doesnt do anything :) [00:11] CamC: you're installing an svn server? [00:11] repository [00:11] thank you, dj_segfault, for the help so far. I just want you to know I really appreciate it. I've been stuck on this all day and you're a bit of a life saver. [00:11] people still use svn? :p [00:11] aggrav8d: Yes, I do, so it must be working [00:11] aparantly [00:12] it's just me in the LAN. [00:12] aggrav8d: No problem. I get a lot of help and am always glad when I can return the favor [00:12] argh. [00:12] CamC: what do you mean "apparently"? You're deciding to use it, no? In any case, link to the tutorial you are reading please [00:12] same here! [00:13] jrib I mean apparently people still use svn, I have to use it because its part of the steps I am following,.. link to follow [00:13] CamC: and just to be clear, because after rereading your reply, I'm a bit confused, you actually want to HOST your own subversion repository, correct? You don't just want to pull code from someone else's subversion repository and play with it? [00:13] http://www.subversionary.org/howto/setting-up-a-subversion-server-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-server === geek is now known as Guest61189 [00:13] aggrav8d: So did you have to tweak your firewall? [00:13] CamC: part of the steps you are following to do what? [00:14] sorry [00:14] People [00:14] I want to download and use svn to recieve files, they are calling it my repository [00:15] Is Wubi bad? [00:15] steps 5 and 6 on that link I pasted [00:15] I can not reach security updates from repository. How can I call the Ubuntu administrators? [00:16] CamC: you don't need to do any of the stuff on that page if all you want to do is grab code from a subversion repository; you don't want a subversion server. You just install "subversion" and then use "svn" commands as usual [00:16] cool thats what I needed to hear thanks jrib [00:16] this .deb package doesnt seem to have an architecture defined. says package architecture () does not match system [00:16] so I still have vigr window open [00:17] any way around that or do i just complain to the packager? [00:17] dj_segfault - I didn't tweak my firewall, I think an automatic upgrade might have. but I know nothing about firewalls or how to admin them. :T [00:17] CamC: do you see anything at the bottom of the window? Like ^X ^O ? [00:17] aggrav8d: But if your Listen line already had the right thing in it, what did you change to make it work? [00:18] i didn't. it was already accessible from outside. [00:18] aggrav8d: DOH! [00:18] i used to be able to view my own websites. since the upgrade I can't. [00:19] Doh, indeed. A female deed. [00:19] Rideau Clock Repair? [00:19] argh, a long long way to groan? [00:19] dj_segfault - and others. [00:20] it's just a server i use to build my client's pages. [00:20] jrib no just --INSERT-- if I use ctrl x I get a row of ^]^D^E^F^I^K^L^N^O^Ps^U^V^Y) [00:20] Anyone know how to disable wifi power management? On my card, DWA 552 ATH9K, when I use iwconfig wlan0 power off , I just get the error Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) : [00:21] CamC: press escape a couple of times followed by :q! (that's a colon, then the letter 'q', then an exclamation mark). Then press enter [00:22] :q! [00:22] wrostek: Unfortunately not all wifi drivers implement all commands. This may be one of those cases [00:22] So, power management could be stuck to ON? [00:22] CamC: Wrong window ;) [00:22] jrib thank you [00:23] jrib - wierd, i told him the same thing 20 minutes ago. [00:23] haha yeah I found that out [00:23] I think power management is screwing up my signal strnegth [00:23] wrostek: I don't know the particulars of your card and the driver, I'm just saying that's a possibility [00:23] aggrav8d: he was probably in insert mode :) [00:23] wrostek: Poke around your BIOS; there may be a setting for it there [00:23] ok === ebot is now known as Guest67069 [00:25] wrostek: you could try running the iwconfig command both plugged in and on battery to confirm your theory [00:26] CamC: if you want to learn to use vim (the editor you were just in), you should install a fuller vim package (like vim-gnome for example) and run « vimtutor ». If you're interested in a VCS (version control system) for code you write, I'd suggest investigating git, bzr, hg, or even darcs instead of svn. And finally, you can get acquanted with apt by asking ubottu about it (/msg ubottu apt) [00:26] This is a desktop machine [00:26] wrostek: So why would it have power management then??? [00:26] Somehow the card gets power management turned on? I don't know how [00:26] I want to turn it off, but iwconfig won't allow it [00:27] wow thanks jrib for your genuine help, I wish you were here yesterday when I needed help for mcrypt issue I am having [00:28] wrostek: I see several issues reported with that card https://www.google.com/search?q=DWA+552+ATH9K+linux+power+management&ie=UTF-8 [00:31] question I have been trying to get my sound back to the level that it was at before. I let my son use my laptop last night and he plugged his headphone in and now I can barely hear the volume. I have it at 100% [00:31] go to system preferences [00:32] or whatever [00:32] click sound [00:32] I applied a fix but that did not work at all. does anyone have any ideas [00:32] go to hardware [00:32] make sure that is OK. [00:32] then go to output [00:32] and check the Connector setting [00:34] dj_segfault: is it ironic you've been more help than #httpd? [00:34] ok once I go to the connector settings what do I need to make sure it is on. [00:34] Analog Output or Analog Headphones are your options? [00:35] aggrav8d: I'm that good ;) [00:36] It was on Analog Output Headphones [00:36] aggrav8d: Since I started using Linux before there was a lot of the GUI tools that are out there now, I learned how to do a lot of the config files and coding by hand. And Apache config files are one of the best documented config files out there. [00:38] dj_segfault: I can still access SAMBA to the box, but I can't http. any ideas? [00:38] i can ping it, too. [00:39] aggrav8d: I don't understand. I thought it was working. [00:39] i'm sure it's just an apache config. [00:39] everyone can access the server except me, inside the LAN. [00:39] What was your Listen line again? [00:39] Listen 80. it hasn't changed in ages, afaik. === c4pt_ is now known as c4pt [00:41] aggrav8d: And your VirtualHost line? [00:43] VirtualHost *:80 [00:47] aggrav8d: Can you look at packets with WireShark? [00:48] Unfortunately the logfiles have changed too much since my version to tell you where too look for rejected packets logging [00:48] dj_segfault - i don't know anything about wireshark. [00:49] I logged out and logged back in and now my sound is gone completely..lol [00:49] Anyone got and tips for a fix for this issue in 11.10 on a Toshiba Laptop [00:49] oh nuts [00:49] It's an A3 Series [00:50] no clu [00:50] *clue [00:50] try askubuntu.com [00:51] no I will try that and see I think I have the fix that I had to get my sound to work still I will try that [00:51] Thanks for your help Klikini [00:51] no prob [00:51] I really have no idea. [00:52] if you ask again on a weekday (around noon) you will get more reponses [00:53] test [00:54] I've only setup ubuntu on a remote server with SSH. does Ubuntu have a front-end gui when installed locally? [00:56] yes [00:56] veyr [00:56] *very [00:57] im trying to clone an old hard drive to a new larger hard drive. the first hard drive has 1 partition of 931.51 GB, which i tried to copy to a new partition of 931.51 GB on the new hard drive but ddrescue reports" ddrescue: write error: No space left on device* after rescuing1TB of data. [00:58] 1tb is bigger than 931.51 gb [00:58] may be a slight overhead somewhere? [01:01] probably the boot sector. is the old drive bootable? [01:01] what's up! [01:01] yes [01:01] then increase the new partition by a meg [01:01] when 12.04 will be final? [01:01] that will do the trick [01:01] 1MB [01:01] yaaa [01:02] when 12.04 will be final?

[01:06] im running my os off an external HD. I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade the other day and now when i try to start I2p it tells me I/O error. [01:09] hi [01:09] I need some help [01:09] I was running ubuntu 11.04 and did an upgrade to 11.10 [01:10] While, doing the upgrade my system hung, and restarted. [01:10] So I had to do a dpkg --configure -a . Now, I don't get any GUI [01:10] how do I get my X back? [01:11] firc: check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors [01:11] at the bottom there [01:12] Ankman: bottom of Xorg.0.log? [01:13] yes, open that file with a viwer, like "less" [01:14] CRTL-G brings you to the bottom [01:15] Hm, anyone aware of any issues using Last.FM with Rhythembox?

I'd prefer something that doesn't require configuring virtualbox, because the goal is to hand the image to a non-technical person. pointers would be appreciated. [01:32] StoneCypher: /etc/network/interfaces...or set it on the router via mac though thats usually dumb (any idiot can change there mac)... [01:33] celthunder: yeah, i found /etc/network/interfaces, and i added an eth0:0 config, but i failed and it's not clear how [01:33] all i really know is the outside world can't see that the ubuntu box has taken that ip [01:34] StoneCypher: pastebin your config and output of route and ifconfig or ip addr [01:34] sec [01:35] why is gnuradio package missing in precise? [01:35] d1gital: not sure what that is but probably not required [01:35] StoneCypher: use bridged network, not NAT in vbox configuration. [01:36] celthunder: it's only required if you want/need to use it. =P [01:36] d1gital: then thats why its missing :) [01:37] http://davr.org/p/wdvn8h51.html [01:37] wylde: lol i took that for granted [01:37] the lines i added were 12-16 and are probably wrong [01:37] -.- [01:37] celthunder: lol never ASSume ;) [01:37] StoneCypher: use bridged network, not NAT in vbox configuration. <------ [01:37] yeah i don't know what that means. [01:38] ts3 m1 aranıo [01:38] m1 pls [01:38] StoneCypher: in the vbox settings area where you set up network, make sure the drop down is set to bridged, not nat. [01:38] i have been using nano from console [01:39] oh. [01:39] StoneCypher: it's a setting in virtualbox, where you configure the virtual machine.... [01:39] sec. [01:40] when i send the VM image to someone, will that setting go with, or will they need to set that up [01:40] StoneCypher: uhm first off you have 2 default routes...second why do you need both nics in a vm [01:40] I honestly don't know, I "think so" but that's far from definite. [01:40] celthunder: i was following a tutorial. like i said, probably wrong. [01:41] wylde: it should that should be part of the config though ive used kvm forever cant honestly say 100 percent either [01:41] StoneCypher: export the VM and re-import it. That'll tell you if the settings are saved as well [01:41] well, it's bridged now, and the ip still doesn't ping. [01:41] ok i will later [01:41] for now i just want to get this ip working [01:41] i've set it to bridged [01:41] what's next [01:41] StoneCypher: ok so whats your gateway [01:41] your real one [01:42] aka on the host look [01:42] StoneCypher: you restarted the VM since changing the network setting right? [01:42] wylde: yeah he did [01:42] wylde: i did [01:42] celthunder: lemme figure out how to get that [01:42] i mean the router tells my windows box 192.168.1.1 [01:43] i assume that is not what you want though [01:43] StoneCypher: ipconfig in windows or route in linux ip route in cisco routers [01:43] StoneCypher: in the VM ( the VM is ubuntu right?) open a console and 'ifconfig' [01:43] StoneCypher: yeah thats the real gateway...did you want the vm on its own network [01:43] I am looking to use KVM in Ubuntu 12.04 instead of VirtualBox / VMware Workstation. Can someone suggest some good management tools (either GUI or robust CLI) to manage the application & VMs? [01:43] if you did you need to go back to nat if not you need to set your ips within the subnet your really in [01:43] hellok, I put these lines in my .profile to do the task of making capslock behave as Ctrl: http://dpaste.de/nBOv4/ [01:43] the VM should be visible to the physical machine it's running on. i don't care if the lan can see it. i don't want the internet to be able to see it, but if it can, no big deal. [01:43] aqemu works alright, pulls in a bunch of kde libs though. [01:44] richardraseley: proxmox [01:44] look i don't really care, i just want this ubuntu vm to consume an IP so that the host machine can see it [01:44] Is that opensource / free? [01:45] that's all [01:45] StoneCypher: do you have a particular reason for needing a static ip then especially if it isnt for you...no garantuee your friend customer whatever uses the same subnet [01:45] StoneCypher: what network settings did you change in the VM? You should be able to set the ubuntu netwrok to auto dhcp and it will get an ip from your external router [01:45] ffs. [01:45] StoneCypher: then put it in bridge and use dhcp [01:45] if you dont care [01:45] i'm not interested in the "why do you want this game" [01:45] Does anyone know whether the encryption method of d-i passwd/user-password-crypted has changed between 11.04 and 12.04? We're testing our preseed file on 12.04, but the password doesn't seem to work.

I have to ask questions, and I put general statements like "put it back to default settings" because I don't know if you know how or not. [01:50] that isn't what i wanted >:( [01:50] jesus christ this is not complicated. [01:51] you need to chill out [01:51] StoneCypher, which vm? [01:51] i need to install computer on an ubuntu [01:51] It IS complicated [01:51] ReXHaviK: virtualbox [01:51] StoneCypher, after changing adapter in vbox, you need to reboot. and watch you language please. [01:51] OerHeks: as has already been discussed, i did. [01:51] AI|Loop: no, understanding "how do i get a fixed ip [01:52] is not a complciated reqest [01:52] regardless of whether it's difficult to achieve [01:52] StoneCypher: you had one...it wasnt valid [01:52] you are not worthy of being helped [01:52] * AI|Loop looks at electronics-cat and laughs [01:52] celthunder: thank you for your time; i'm going to focus elsewhere now [01:52] StoneCypher, you looked at setting static in the network portion of vbox setup for the vdi? [01:52] :( [01:52] AI|Loop: wylde yeah i give up as well [01:52] no, you were excluded. [01:53] because after a half hour you haven't even figured out what i'm asking for yet. [01:53] ReXHaviK: no, i did not [01:53] ReXHaviK: i didn't even know such a thing existed [01:53] hi [01:53] ReXHaviK: at this time all i see is how to set the adapter type and mac address. am i missing something? [01:53] I called Asus and asked if I did not accept the Windows license agreement, could I get a refund. The guy said no, find a distributor of the computer that doesn't include the Windows OS. Could anyone recommend anything to help? [01:54] StoneCypher, pretty sure you can have it your way, it will have to be able to talk to the network, but thats another issue [01:54] it already talks to the network [01:54] i just want to get it to take a static ip that it isn't currently taking, in one of the protected ranges. [01:54] StoneCypher: by getting the ubuntu install back to a basic working dhcp setup, means that you are at least in a usable sate. Then from there it's a simple to set a static ip. <--- there's the theory, try not to be ignorant to the next people that try to help you. [01:54] StoneCypher, give me a sec, let me open an instance so i can tell whats what [01:54] I plan to install Ubuntu, so it applies here IMHO... [01:54] wylde: it's already in a usable state. [01:54] *instead of Window$ [01:54] wylde: so we're back to the same place i started [01:54] wylde: which is "it's a simple to set a static ip." [01:55] ReXHaviK: he doesnt know how a network works and wants us to do it for him... [01:55] wylde: awesome, that's what i've wanted this entire time, could you please tell me about the question i actually asked now [01:55] i'm trying to install ubuntu on my computer [01:55] electronics-cat: ok? [01:55] :) [01:55] wylde: the reason i'm frustrated is that people just spent half an hour trying to out-think me, and the thing you're finally coming to is what i originally asked [01:55] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html [01:56] is it possible to run NetworkManager and run networking service as well if I don't have any discrepancies in the managed interfaces? [01:56] hi i have a question may i talk? dont know whats going on here [01:56] go forth and ask [01:56] Go ahead umo...Ask your question [01:56] umo: is that meant as an answer to me? [01:57] the center of the universe [01:57] this channel is sweet [01:57] SolarisBoy: i doubt it. networkmanager in general takes everything over could be wrong though === tohuw is now known as Guest20933 [01:57] well ... this says i should do pretty much exactly what i already did. [01:58] how can I check a monitor's display number that is attached to my Laptop (E.G. 0.0) [01:58] wylde: did you bail? [01:58] =( shame. The only reason I want to keep network manager around is it seems ubuntu-one relies on it? [01:58] im use 11.10 and i'd like to install kernel v3.3 cause the power management might work better is it possible to install run precise kernel 3.x with oneiric? [01:58] umo: yes [01:59] StoneCypher, got it, set the virtualbox to bridged, the virtual os needs to be setup to your setting, some static ip, gateway and all that [01:59] c_smith: xrandr [01:59] StoneCypher: at the current moment, what is left that you need to accomplish. Be clear and concise so I know EXACTLY what's left that you need. [01:59] umo - try Ubuntu 12.04 in 5 days...it offers much better power management with the Linux 3.2 kernel (April 26, 2012) [01:59] ReXHaviK: all done [01:59] wylde: i need the ubuntu box to consume a static IP address so that the host machine can see that ip address. [02:00] i don't understand what part of this i'm not communicating effectively [02:00] StoneCypher: change the 10. address to 192.168.1.* netmask is fine and gateway what you said it was earlier [02:00] [21:30] i confess it makes me feel stupid to ask this, but, i'm starting up a ubuntu instance inside virtualbox, and i want it to take over some LAN ip address, but I can't figure out how. I'd prefer something that doesn't require configuring virtualbox, because the goal is to hand the image to a non-technical person. pointers would be appreciated.

[02:00] it doesn't really matter. i used 10.10.10.10 but if that has to change, cool [02:01] it just has to be something static [02:01] umo - Was your question resolved? === tohuw_ is now known as Tohuw [02:02] StoneCypher: alright then, to start with your entry for auto eth0:0 <---- no :0 that entry is being completely ignored. [02:02] now how do I decipher what I need to know from what Xrandr spits out? [02:02] I need the X display number of the display [02:02] wylde: okay. i thought that was how to get it to not collide with eth0, but, cool, removing :0. do i have to restart or is it enough to call init.d/networking restart [02:02] StoneCypher: not yet [02:02] c_smith: it should say the name and number somewhere [02:02] k [02:03] Good evening everyone. [02:03] StoneCypher, your static ip setup gets dns from where? [02:03] i don't actually know. i assume DHCP. [02:03] hello all. [02:03] ccateringc: hi vr3xz hi [02:03] StoneCypher: you'll need to remove the "auto" from eth0 as well [02:03] Does anyone here know much about workspaces? [02:03] wylde: got it [02:03] Is someone going to answer my question or not? Is it unanswerable? Should I post it somewhere else?

[02:04] StoneCypher: I'm not sure if you're going to see that ip you set as it's not on the same subnet as the host, and you've set a separate gateway. [02:04] cc11rocks: no, i don't know who to go to for cheap parts [02:04] Unity I think, to be honest I dont really know I just installed 2 days ago. [02:04] cc11rocks: try #shopping or #google [02:04] wylde: okay, so, change the ip to something in 192.168? [02:04] Well, I mean, is it possible to get the Asus computer and force them or something? [02:05] StoneCypher: for the sake of making sure it works set the ip address and gateway the same as what you have for your machine.

[03:09] i flushed the routing table because you said there were bad routes [03:09] and i'm grasping at straws [03:09] StoneCypher: do 'sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0' please [03:10] ok, it took that silently [03:10] still no internet, though [03:10] anyone... ?

[03:15] Kaleidoscope - i havent formated them yet, was just trying to define the partitions. ultimately i think these will be in an LVM [03:15] with xfs maybe? [03:15] StoneCypher: ok the default line looks like? -->> default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0? [03:15] Monkeypaws, you cant use fdisk you have to use gdisk or other gpt partitioning tool [03:15] Hey, i downloaded java-6u31-linux-x64.bin, and i was curious, what is the command so i can install it, considering Ubuntu Package installer doesn [03:15] metric is 100 [03:15] escott - ok ty [03:15] otherwise yes [03:15] which one is easier gpt or gdisk? [03:15] reconize it, and the java that 10.04 lts Ubuntu software center doesnt work [03:16] I recommend Gparted :P [03:16] or wait [03:16] Simple enough [03:16] i will try something [03:16] ok ill try that ty [03:16] Monkeypaws, i would recommend using gdisk (its like fdisk) to delete all mbr partition structures first [03:16] ok [03:17] Monkeypaws, otherwise any parted tool (either parted or gparted) can create a gpt table, but since you put an mbr table on there its not as obvious how to remove it with gparted/parted [03:17] StoneCypher: and you restarted networking. At this point I'm not sure what my be the problem. Can you think of any other network settings you may have changed anywhere? We might be overlooking something. [03:17] i put an mbr table on it? [03:17] i can guarantee you that nothing has been changed but what i did with you [03:17] StoneCypher - check 'ifconfig' - does it look right? [03:17] this machine is brand new [03:17] Monkeypaws, mbr tables are the only thing fdisk knows. in general don't use fdisk [03:17] Monkeypaws: i have no idea [03:17] StoneCypher - type sudo ifconfig [03:17] StoneCypher: but at any rate, we met the goal you had of making it visible on the network to the host. [03:18] why are ubuntu official servers so slow? [03:18] Monkeypaws: i know how to run the command. "does it look normal" is not a question i can answer. [03:18] pastebin it [03:18] wylde: with the unacceptable consequence of making everything else break. [03:18] Monkeypaws, you want to remove the mbr table? [03:18] Monkeypaws: i can't, the internet was broken during my time here [03:18] Monkeypaws, parted will automatically remove old tables when it makes a new one [03:18] clausen - i guess? just tryin to format this new 3tb drive correctly [03:19] ok so use gparted? [03:19] Monkeypaws, unless it changed since I wrote it ;) [03:19] i'm trying to do android development with eclipse in ubuntu 11.10. every time a dialogue box opens up, for example for the virtual device manager, i can't close it [03:19] how do i close it?

You specifically stated at the start you didn't care if it could see the internet, you just needed it to see the host... [03:21] no, what i said was i didn't care if the internet could see it. [03:21] that's quite different. [03:21] does anyone know how to change : "tcp_fin_timeout" in ubuntu server ? [03:21] a build box needs to be able to get libraries from the internet. [03:21] newbism, you mean, while it's installing? [03:21] look [03:21] newbie, you can't install more than one thing at a time [03:21] I have tried sysctl / cat to /proc file system [03:21] what i actually said was "can you help me get my ubuntu box to have a static ip address" [03:21] but in netstat I still see the timers above my set limit.. [03:21] i'm not sure how you read into that "it'll be great if everything else breaks" [03:21] StoneCypher: not to mention I have no idea what else you changed, which is why I initially want you to get back to the defult state for the networking on your VM.

[03:22] "it worked before i made changes, it doesn't now, WHAT DID YOU DO" [03:22] i made the mistake of thinking irc could bind an ip in under 2 hours without breaking shit [03:22] that's what i did [03:22] well originally I did it from software center and it barfed this huge bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/349469 [03:22] Launchpad bug 349469 in debconf (Ubuntu) "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable" [Medium,Triaged] [03:22] clausen - sorry i didnt realize gparted needed a GUI, im runnin this on my nas. any other ideas? :x [03:23] back to gdisk?

Then go figure it out for yourself. === jalcine is now known as Guest89659 [03:25] it's for a internet browser game, and my question is not vauge, i was wondering how i can install java from a .bin file. [03:25] i didnt want someone to go !repeat on me >.> [03:26] Down_to_Earth, sorry, I didn't see the question [03:26] ./filename.bin [03:26] Hey, i downloaded java-6u31-linux-x64.bin, and i was curious, what is the command so i can install it, considering Ubuntu Package installer doesn [03:26] chmod 755 java.bin ... ./java.bin [03:26] (only your responce to a bit of it) [03:26] reconize it, and the java that 10.04 lts Ubuntu software center doesnt work [03:26] Down_to_Earth, what java? [03:26] Down_to_Earth, there are multiple java versions available [03:26] Down_to_Earth, why not use the java included with ubuntu? [03:27] (or one of the several ones available in the ubuntu package manager) [03:27] did you not read what i put? [03:27] it didnt work [03:27] what file do you have? [03:27] i installed the one with Ubuntu software centre [03:27] has anyone used "eee-control" for fan performance??? [03:28] Down_to_Earth, which one? [03:28] and java 6 update 31, 64-bit [03:28] Hi, I need help with making simple HTTP requests to a guest ubuntu virtual machine instance. [03:28] and i intalled tea plugin thing also [03:29] I tried updating my packages after i installed java from the center thing, and still did not work === JackyAlcine is now known as Guest81409 [03:30] Hi all, Im just doing some graphic design, but screen is sluggish, can anyone tell me how to check if the nvidia drivers are installed? [03:30] i know java is real picky about its paths.. if all seems broken logging out and checking your paths is necessary. critical paths are JAVA_HOME [03:31] env variables that is [03:31] i am confused i downloaded netbeans on my ubuntu laptop now how do i install it and use it? [03:32] aussie_matt, glxinfo | grep direct .. does it say yes ? [03:33] newbism: the program glxinfo is currently not installed [03:33] is there a problem if i had install ubuntu i686 on a 64bits? [03:33] hello [03:33] hello [03:33] lauratika, you just aren't taking advantage of the hardware capabilities but its ok [03:33] hello world [03:34] i need help when someone is available [03:34] !ask | FoxHound [03:34] FoxHound: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [03:35] aussie_matt, looks like no nvidia driver then [03:35] newbism: ok, im from mandriva background, so this is a little new to me....any ideas on best method to install? [03:36] aussie_matt, go to software center, search for nvidia download latest version, or apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 [03:36] i notice ubuntu oneric clogs too easy like memory leak and gets too slow... does me not having a 64 bit version be the trouble? [03:36] aussie_matt, depending on your nvidia card 185 may not work [03:36] what is the ffmpeg option to grab from x11 starting at coordinates 0x0? [03:36] aussie_matt, might have to go back and use 173 [03:37] lauratika, have you checked the output of "free -h" are you using the swap? [03:37] I am trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 i get to install gui i try installing and it gives undefined video mode: 314 error when i try forcing nofb it loooks like it will start installing but all solutions i have tried cause the system to restart without installing [03:38] I tried changing "vga=" to several different options but it wont work [03:38] ok now parted is telling me the partition length exceeds the msdos parititon table. is this the stuff i need to delete first? [03:38] free -h isnt an option [03:39] Monkeypaws, yes. this was what i was worried about. now that you have the mbr partition parted is trying to change the mbr partition. you need to destroy the mbr partition entirely and start again with a gpt partition [03:39] ah ok [03:39] with GPT? [03:39] Monkeypaws, yes... type "mklabel gpt", IIRC [03:40] Monkeypaws, it will delete everything! [03:40] k np :) [03:40] woot! paritition table:gpt [03:40] i am confused i downloaded netbeans on my ubuntu laptop now how do i install it and use it? [03:41] mystMan, what's wrong with "apt-get install netbeans" ? [03:41] Monkeypaws, :) [03:41] mystMan, unpack the netbeans zip file, find the binary and double click on it [03:41] Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance. [03:41] :x [03:42] Monkeypaws, start the first partition at 1 MiB [03:42] kk [03:42] Monkeypaws, you can ignore this message [03:42] Monkeypaws, there is probably also something that parted can do to make it aligned [03:42] (the new maintainers of parted didn't really understand the situation when they wrote this message... [03:42] ... the only concern is compatibility with windows, but that is long a dead issue now) [03:43] newbism: i think i've installed now, but it needs a reboot, will do later [03:43] oh ok [03:43] ignored! [03:43] clausen, i thought it was an issue with 4k disks pretending to be 512b disks [03:43] ello ello [03:43] aussie_matt, you could probably log out of X ... youll want to lsmod and make sure nvidia module is loaded [03:43] escott, hmmm, you could be right about that! [03:43] aussie_matt, the key is for glxinfo to say direct rendering: yes [03:44] trying to install ftp server on my ubuntu box.apt-get install vsftpd isn't working. is there a new way [03:44] escott, in which case, they should just enforce a 4k alignment constraint! [03:44] newbism: ok, ill see how i go in a bit..tahnks [03:44] aussie_matt, for extra nvidia also has nvidia-properties which gives you a gui control panel [03:44] anyway, no point complaining about it now :) [03:44] newbism: yes, mandriva had that too [03:44] Monkeypaws, escott has a point... it could be worth following his suggestion [03:45] (although, my understanding of modern HD's is that alignment doesn't matter, because of the way they cache things) [03:45] (but I haven't tested this lately!) [03:45] start the partition at 1000kB ? [03:45] clausen, i remember reading about it, and it sounded like a complete cluster**** with some disks faking 512b but offsetting by 512b because they didnt want to break the standard win xp installs which would be aligned at 4kb+512b (as if anyone would be installing xp on a 4k disk) [03:45] 1024 Kb [03:46] Monkeypaws, I would specify in sectors [03:46] Monkeypaws, (which you can do with an "s" suffix) [03:46] gotcha [03:46] Monkeypaws, pick any number greater than, say, 1000, that is a multiple of 4 :) [03:46] clausen, those fake 512b sector disks are really sensitive because a 512b write thats not aligned gets multiplied up to a 4kb write [03:46] or 8 [03:46] actually [03:47] 1024s ? [03:47] Monkeypaws, sounds good [03:47] I am trying to install ubuntu server 10.04 i get to install gui i try installing and it gives undefined video mode: 314 error when i try forcing nofb it loooks like it will start installing but all solutions i have tried cause the system to restart without installing [03:48] clausen - i still recieved the error, i'll try 2048 [03:48] WASUP [03:48] weird! [03:48] 2048 worked :D [03:48] is there any way to actually measure this? [03:48] Monkeypaws, I'm sorry, I haven't touched parted for 7 years, so I'm a bit out of touch [03:48] ty :D [03:48] like, try writing 4k, then 4k offset by each 512 multiple, and see which way gets you properly aligned [03:48] Monkeypaws, it might be seeing something which makes it think the correct alignment is 8*4kb + 512b. which is annoying [03:49] escott, thanks for the explanation... I can see how that could be an issue... [03:49] although I am still surprised by it [03:49] because the physical writes bear almost no resemblance to the "logical" writes on the bus [03:49] (maybe the issue is with the bus?) [03:50] anyway, bed time [03:50] good night! [03:50] clausen, just some terrible choices dictated by the fact that redmond can't get their stuff together [03:50] escott, apparently parted can't either! [03:50] you know [03:51] night! [03:51] it isn't _entirely_ unreasonable, without making any judgement of what microsoft does [03:51] arg [03:51] for a hard drive to optimize so that large blocks aligned to the start of a partition occupying the whole disk [i.e. starting at offset 512] [03:51] are the fastest [03:52] Monkeypaws, is the disk a WD caviar green drive? [03:52] escott - i need to set the file system to LVM but parted doesnt know LVM and fdisk will bork the table if i do it though there. [03:52] nah hitachi 3tb [03:52] it's silly to claim all this is microsoft fucking up or people being compatible with microsoft [03:52] er, sorry for language forgot where i was [03:52] Monkeypaws, you might google to see if that particular hitachi 3tb has 4k sectors. if it doesn't then the alignment stuff doesnt matter [03:53] but it's not _intuitive_ that the correct alignment _should_ be to the start of the disk rather than the most 99.999999% likely place the first partition starts [03:53] should MS have "adapted" by making the boot sector 4kb instead of 512b? [03:53] escott - err, srry its ST3000DM001-9YN166 - Seagate Barracuda 3TB . i'll check it out [03:54] Ultimately, any drive that doesn't get the best performance with writes to large sectors _aligned from the most likely start of the first partition_ objectively sucks [03:54] so saying that the 4kb+512b thing is just adapting to microsoft crap makes no sense [03:55] Random832, that would be the natural thing to say, but someone might put xp on this disk and xp partitions are not 4k aligned so lets just lie in the firmware and shift our logicals 512bs [03:55] Physical sector size: 4096 Bytes [03:55] Random832, because when the firmware lies to you that always makes things better [03:55] escott: you say "xp partitions are not 4k aligned" like it makes any damn sense to expect people to start the first partition at any offset other than 512b from the start of the disk [03:56] it's not just XP that does that [03:56] why should they expect _anyone_ to _ever_ have 4k aligned partitions? === Travis is now known as Guest2461 [03:57] i have no idea [03:57] LITERALLY every disk ever partitioned before large sectors were a thing had the first partition start at offset 512b [03:57] why should that change after? [03:58] escott: what exactly is the firmware claim we are talking about? [03:58] Random832, my point is that gpt and 4k has been on the horizon for a LONG time, and to not offer any kind of backported support for this situation is just irresponsible. its great business just force everyone to buy a new os, but its everything thats wrong with proprietary software [03:58] because if it's just "firmware statement that sectors are 4k", that claim doesn't _actually seem to imply_ an alignment base of 0 [03:59] ok i have a 3gb partition with a gpt partition table - i want to add this to an LVM partition, don't i need to set the filesystem type to LVM ? [03:59] escott: huh? [03:59] Monkeypaws, anyways. don't kow if you are following, but the disk has 4k physical sectors, but claims to be 512b sectors, and then is probably? maybe? lying about where those 4kb sectors start. so they might start at multiples of 4kb or 4kb+512b. so you should try different variants of where to start that [04:00] escott: why should they need to? why shouldn't the drive manufacturers just make it so that _every existing system ever_ will continue working with optimal performance [04:00] microsoft can only backport to one system - the drive manufacturers can support the existing situation on EVERY system [04:00] escott - i went to 4096 and it seems happy. im guessing fdisk is useless at this point right? its not going to be able to help me set the file system type or anything. [04:00] Monkeypaws, don't use fdisk. just forget it exists [04:00] ok [04:01] look, i just don't see why it's reasonable to expect people to have any alignment base _but_ 512 bytes [so 4kb+512, 32kb+512, whatever] and make everyone change their software to support tat [04:02] Random832, we aren't going to agree, and its offtopic :) [04:02] is there anyone on here from ireland?

[04:04] escott - any ideas how to set this partition to LVM filesystem type? [04:05] Monkeypaws, lvm type should be an option? you might want to use the alternate installer which supports lvm [04:05] well === Agent_Washington is now known as Moon_Doggy [04:05] odd [04:05] escott - parted doesnt know lvm and fdisk doesnt like my new partition [04:06] I've got locked files in a dir ... and I want to allow the current user all controls over them [04:06] this is a chmod operation? [04:06] Monkeypaws: LVM partition type is 8E, but the partitioner won't actually do hatever formatting you need to use lvm [04:06] any of you guys know wubi well [04:06] escott, i didnt catch anything you might have said just now [04:07] Monkeypaws, do you just need to run pvcreate on the partition? [04:07] Random832 - im just walkin through this LVM tutorial, and it says i need to make the partition type 8e [04:07] yah escott [04:07] thats my next step [04:07] Monkeypaws, 8E is specific to mbr not gpt [04:07] ohhh === DaZ is now known as dipeptyd [04:08] will LVM do GPT? [04:08] is there a way of getting wubi to use more than 30gb of space i wanna set it to 200gb but 30gb is highest [04:09] * Monkeypaws will find out. [04:09] Monkeypaws, lvm sits inside a partition. doesn't matter what the underlying type is [04:09] cool cool [04:09] dambrow, you don't want that. it would break way too easily. and there is probably some limit inside ntfs that prevents this [04:10] "/dev/sda1" is a new physical volume of "2.73 TiB" [04:10] delinquentme, see man fuser, and !aptlock if you have an issue with file locks [04:10] is that 3GB ? :l [04:10] i mean 3000GB [04:10] i need at least 150gb so i can start building android roms but 30gb is just not enough and i dont have a dvd spare [04:11] Monkeypaws: it's 3 TB [04:11] Monkeypaws, welcome to false advertising 3TB <<< 3TiB [04:11] hehe [04:11] i.e. 3000 GB, 3e6 MB, 3e9 KB, and 3e12 B [04:11] ok seriously, no software raid on the live cd?

[05:08] right [05:08] i barely started using ubuntu since friday :) [05:08] what are you using now [05:09] fail xchat-gnome.. came with it.. cus my stupid friend did it for me xD [05:09] ShadowFios: Please pastebin the output of "lspci -vnn". [05:12] Is there any easy way to hide installed programs/ [05:12] ? [05:12] Jordan_U: right now im on my ipod because wifi on my comp is completly missing firmware [05:13] ShadowFios: OK. Try running the Additional Drivers utility and see what it recommends you install. Hopefully that will tell us what we need. [05:17] Jordan_U: Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. most drivers will not be available. is ehat the addintional drivers utility tells me [05:22] Jordan_U: are you there? [05:25] Jordan_U: really i just want wine installed on there but i need eifi to do that [05:27] HOL [05:27] HOLA [05:27] ALGUIEN HBLA ESPA~NOL [05:28] filth im having wifi problems [05:28] !es | Filth666 [05:28] Filth666: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[05:35] r [05:36] Hello, Does anyone know how I can make the output written to /var/log/auth.log be a little less verbose ? === mo is now known as Guest90648 [05:38] i am trying to turn my router into a shell, can anyone help me? [05:38] what do you mean roger233? [05:39] Guest90648: Well, I want to be able to upload files/execute commands from my router. Do I need to change the firmware or something? [05:39] What's the router, and what kind of firmware is it using? [05:39] JosephHarrietha, you will have to tweak every program which writes in auth.log, i presume [05:40] depends on the type of router you get [05:40] what do you have? [05:40] bluefrog, Where would I find a list of such? [05:40] roger233 - i think DD-WRT will do somethin like this [05:41] dunno [05:41] I have an N ADSL2+ modem router [05:41] it will give you a shell, you can look at their supported devices list [05:41] Monkeypaws: what do you mean [05:41] http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices [05:41] Guys, i should probably say this now, I am veryyyyy new to this. [05:41] dd-wrt does support commanline [05:41] roger233 - dd-wrt is router firmware you can put on some linksys and other devices that has a shell. [05:41] it uses busybox by default [05:42] but depending on the version and build you can install other shells [05:42] Okay... well is there anyway to make a terminal turnicate lines if they would excede the width of the terminal? [05:42] Be aware that routers tend to be VERY small - they won't have much of a userland. [05:42] Look at OpenWRT too [05:42] Monkeypaws: do I have to wipe the current firmware to install the new? [05:42] sauvin: thats why you get one that supports usb [05:42] and that becomes a non issue [05:42] roger233 - yah you wipe it, i think you can back it up [05:43] Monkeypaws, can you give me a link to download this firmware? [05:43] http://www.dd-wrt.com [05:43] I have auth.log "tail -f"-ed to a desktop terminal, and its very hard to read when it has an output spread over multiple lines. I would like to just cut off the last of the line if it exceeds 110 characters [05:43] roger233: you need to check if your device is supported [05:43] Just google it. It'll have bazillions of links pointing to it. open-wrt, iirc, dd-wrt, tomato, there are a few others, too. [05:43] ah [05:43] Did you check SolarisBoy's link to see if your router is supported? [05:43] "N ADSL-2" won't tell us what it is. [05:44] JosephHarrietha: you can pass a line count to tail [05:44] I know, but it isn't lines. Its the characters on the line [05:44] i see [05:44] I don't like it when one line in a file, when tail-ed to the terminal it put over multiple lines [05:44] All you care about is the output? Can you use cut after tail? [05:44] JosephHarrietha: there is a way but i forget it actually =) [05:45] FwVer:3.12.8.31_TC3086 HwVer:T14.F7_7.0 is the firmware version i use now [05:45] cut/awk or some other command that can edit a text via pipe will work like potat mentioned also [05:45] Hmm.. probably not. The command is just "tail -f /var/log/auth.log" [05:45] and its on a desktop terminal that is not clickable or moveable... just sits in the background [05:46] so i have a wifi problem it says firmware missing can anybody help? [05:46] so the process is running already? [05:46] JosephHarrietha: ? [05:46] is there any way to use system ram as vram [05:46] SolarisBoy, Hmm.. let me read man cut and get back to you [05:46] JosephHarrietha: actually you can redirect the stdout using gdb.... [05:46] JosephHarrietha: ok [05:47] JosephHarrietha: cut -d"" -f would be the basic usage.. but that implies you have something sane to split the output on... [05:48] awk may be easier if it's delimited by variable white spaces [05:48] cut -c will split by characters [05:48] Yea... how would I cut the output of tail -f. Esspecially because its not a "final output", its a constant output. cut sounds great for reading the first characters of a file, but what happends when tail -f starts sending more lines [05:49] JosephHarrietha: it would just print what you told it [05:49] Since it's all piped it should still work, right? [05:49] and break where it didn't math [05:49] *match [05:50] potat: yes [05:50] so i have a wifi problem it says firmware missing can anybody help? [05:50] does it make sense to format drives before configuring as a raid with mdadm? [05:51] JosephHarrietha: tail -f | cut -c1-80 [05:51] the_real_crimper: maybe if you had something on them already [05:51] your going to write the FS to the md [05:52] ShadowFios: can you run lspci -nn [05:52] potat, Haha, you put that up just as I ran "tail -f /var/log/auth.log | cut -c0-80" [05:52] Mine errored, yours works perfect [05:52] Hello evry1. I'm having big troubles with my cd/dvd burner since I installed 11.04, can some1 please help me find out what is going on? It does read cd/dvd's but when I try burning an image using brasero; it just goes on and on fr ever. AcetoneISO (my favorite) won't even recognize the drive. Please help me. TIA! [05:53] Thank you! I'm gonna work on detecting truncation and inserting an ellipsis ("...") after the line [05:53] I have problem. connecting with internet is too bad, can anybody help? [05:54] elizabeth - oh you you're doing fine. [05:54] :D [05:54] i mean, you made it this far. [05:54] nimbiotics: i wonder if you need to run the install-css.sh script? [05:55] SolarisBoy: I have no idea, should I just execute "install-css.sh script"? [05:55] potat: i have and i dont know what im looking for [05:55] ShadowFios: look for WLAN [05:55] nimbiotics: can you try 'dpkg -l 'libdvdcss'' [05:55] oops... not that. [05:56] actually yes.. sorry. the double qoutes confusled me =) [05:56] Monkeypaws, it's terrible( [05:56] Hi [05:57] SolarisBoy: i get " packages found matching libdvdcss." [05:57] I am not able to install propratory software in my m/c in ubuntu 11.10 [05:57] How to do that ? [05:57] nimbiotics: so you should have the script under /usr/share . lets see where they put it... [05:58] when I type ls -l it says total 4 but I see only 1 directory... I wonder if there are directories that are hidden [05:58] sri13: m/c? [05:58] nimbiotics: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [05:58] FernandoCueva: ls -la [05:58] potat: machine [05:58] hmm.. [05:58] sri13: what are you trying to install? [05:59] I am trying to install some graphics drivers [05:59] Ubuntu 10.04. I'm having a weird issue. My desktop is all bold and blurry... And it literally just happened [05:59] SolarisBoy: done [05:59] AMD Graphics driver [05:59] Random832, I see 2 more directories called . and .. [06:00] FernandoCueva: actually... the "total" is the size of files listed, and a directory does take up space [06:00] Random832, but it now says total 12 what does it mean? [06:00] FernandoCueva: in your ls -l, it should say 4096 next to the directory [each directory], right? [06:00] yes [06:01] the 4 [or 12] is the number of kb in the listed files [including directories, this is the size for the directory itslef not its contents [06:01] sri13: Are you trying to do it from the firmware installer from the system tray, or did you download something from AMD's website? [06:02] what are the directories . and .. one of them has a group name users and the other has group root [06:02] potat: I am trying using Additional drivers option from system settings [06:02] SolarisBoy: should that have fixed my issue? [06:03] sri13: OK. So what is going wrong? [06:03] FernandoCueva: "." designated the current directory and ".." the parent directory of the current directory. [06:03] Hey guys, why is it that whenever I lock my screen and leave it locked for a period of time, my dual monitor configuration screws up (i.e. the background on the second monitor continues on from the first monitor, and tiles. And on the first monitor, a blue rectangle appears in the top-left corner). When pressing the Super key to go into the GNOME-shell app menu, the backgrounds return to normal on all monitors, until I go back to normal [06:03] mode (out of GNOME-shell preview).

Lost a drive from a raid0, so I replaced the drive and recreated the raid. I go to restore the data, and notice that df shows the new raid size is 8 blocks smaller than the old raid size. Verified partition sizes on all drives are identical. Any ideas why the new raid is smaller, and how I can get it fixed? [06:22] bekks, i need to change back to 0 :\ [06:22] how to? [06:22] lol thanks potat, problem solve [06:22] awesome [06:22] SolarisBoy: O_O oh man! [06:23] Shdwdrgn: whats the state of the mirror? [06:23] LukeNukem: "sudo chown root:root /etc" [06:23] LukeNukem: Then get your backup out and restore /etc, since the permissions in /etc/ are not set to root:root for everything in /etc [06:23] Jacky: ^_^ i know right ! [06:23] sri13: what error? [06:23] SolarisBoy, it is active and clean [06:23] Shdwdrgn: interesting [06:24] I've just installed something from a web page instructions. I was given a choice of two commands to install a repository. The first one didn't work but the second one did. Now my question-have I got two repositories installed and should I remove the one that didn't work? [06:24] And it supports all of the plugins you'd use with pidgin? [06:24] Shdwdrgn: is it actually a mirror [06:24] Jacky: yes!! its awesome [06:24] When someone gets a moment, I have a kernel 3.3.2 issue. :( [06:24] potat: ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [06:24] Errors were encountered while processing: [06:24] fglrx [06:24] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [06:24] my god, that's wicked!

Raid was created with mdadm -l0 [06:25] Jacky: That will break things like at, postgres, ssl-certs, etc. [06:25] that's insaneeee! [06:25] lol [06:25] >_< [06:25] sri13: That doesn't sound good. Let me think [06:26] also mdadm --detail shows the array size is identical (I'm comparing two servers with the same setup... the other machine is where I am restoring my raid backup from) [06:26] bekks, shall i do what jacky said [06:26] No, don't [06:26] LukeNukem: I'd not do that. As I already said. [06:26] LukeNukem: You should grab your backup of /etc/ and restore it. [06:26] i dont have a backup [06:27] sri13: ok, try sudo apt-get -f install fglrx [06:27] bekks, i dont have backu [06:27] backup [06:27] merryman540: I wouldn't worry about it as long as you can install the software you want now [06:28] LukeNukem: Well, then do a backup of your entire box now, and just give it a try to repair things. [06:28] SolarisBoy, one thing I see changed is that the kernel and mdadm versions have gone up since the last time I created one of these raids, so it created the new raid0 with metadata=1.20. I also tried forcing metadata=0.90, but got the same results [06:28] bekks, i dont have space for backup man [06:28] potat: thanks. I just want to keep a trim system and not have reduntant stuff sitting on it? [06:28] You won't have any extra software. Just a line or two in a config file [06:28] bekks, how about i go to recovery mode and change /etc/ ownership to root and then come back in to normal mode [06:28] and change ownership of apache php to my username [06:29] potat: That one exceuted without ane error nor success message [06:29] any* [06:29] someone please help me T_T [06:30] Ditto. Kernel 3.3.2 hates me. :( [06:30] sri13: ok, good. Now try the first command again. I think you had it half-installed or half-uninstalled [06:30] potat: in my sources list? should I remove or comment those lines perhaps-for the source that didn't work I mean? [06:30] Shdwdrgn: interesting. [06:30] bekks, ? [06:30] ok [06:30] what's the best way to recover a ubuntu installation after the /etc directory was deleted? [06:30] merryman540: Yeah [06:30] potat: ok thanks. [06:30] can someone please help me [06:31] potat: completed. Same no success msg [06:31] Justastic: Your best bet might be to run a LiveCD to back up your /home and then reinstall Ubuntu [06:31] alright, that's what I thought [06:31] Shdwdrgn: is mdstat clean under /proc ? [06:31] sri13: cool [06:32] sri13: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:32] T_T [06:32] SolarisBoy, it says active, there is no sync trying to happen [06:32] Don't worry, it will be remade if it needs to [06:32] My kernel 3.3.2 compiled beautifully, finally, the modules are installed, grub was updated and yet when I go to boot into 3.3.2.... nothing. It just hangs after clearing grub off the screen. :( [06:32] jacky? dude what do id o [06:32] another question: there is a way to not redirect the beet to my headphones? [06:32] Shdwdrgn: ok [06:33] *beep [06:33] potat: yup, removed that file [06:33] SolarisBoy, looking at "mdadm --detail /dev/md0" between the two machines, the details are identical except of course for the time and UUID is each array [06:33] Jacky, [06:33] Shdwdrgn: gotcha [06:34] sri13: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 [06:34] when trying to install ubuntu from disc the screen goes to sleep.

[06:37] Shdwdrgn: are the chunk_size the same on both those machines you use for comparison value in the configs? [06:37] SolarisBoy, yes, both have a chunk size of 32k [06:37] sri13: I don't know. But you want to reboot so this takes effect. Then try installing the proprietary driver again [06:38] potat: ok, Thanks :) [06:38] i know that it's not the place but it's the biggest chan over there and that news need to be spread because it's important. Google News spread about some politicians this day. The trouble is that in France, it' the Presidential Election day! And Google News (french) like any other press / journalist ... have not the right to speak of any politicians these day! (and/or give any result befor the end) It's a jail sentence! please verify [06:38] what i am saying and spread! Thanks! [06:38] sorry to have disturb this place but it's really, important, it's a basic statement of freedom right. [06:40] potat: no wlan in there at all [06:41] ShadowFios: Did you already try System > Administration > Additional Drivers [06:42] or System Settings > Additional Drivers [06:43] amccloud: How far along in the install process does it happen? [06:43] potat: yes it spits out downloading package indexes fail please check you network status most divers will no be availible [06:44] potat: very beginning [06:44] before it loaded [06:44] SolarisBoy, when I do "df /dev/md0" there is a difference of 8 1k-blocks between servers. It appears the filesys doesn't matter. However I use drbd between the servers, and drbd is complaining because the new raid is smaller that what is expected. [06:45] potat: and then it says no proprietary drivers in use on this system [06:45] amccloud: so you never even saw the startup screen [06:45] nope [06:45] ShadowFios: Hmm. but that computer is connected to the Internet, right? [06:45] Well, I guess no one is familiar with kernel 3.3.2 from scratch... :( [06:46] *source [06:46] Ubuntu下有没有compgroups的客户端？ [06:46] Back to Star Trek. Later. :) === mana is now known as Guest75255 [06:46] potat: no its not im on my ipod right now [06:46] anyone here able to use OpenVPN on Xubuntu 11.04 Natty? [06:46] hello [06:47] 有木有人知道？ [06:47] Im facing some problems connecting to vpns [06:47] amccloud: Check out text-based installer http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate [06:48] ShadowFios: Ok, you need to get connected so you can get the drivers (easiest way). Do you have an Ethernet cable to connect your laptop to your router? [06:48] SolarisBoy, it just occurred to me, you were asking earlier if this raid was a mirror. No, it is not a mirror, its raid0, so the two drives are aggregated together. [06:48] h4xxor: I was using it on 10.10 [06:49] yyyy [06:50] potat: i belive i do but i cant right now [06:50] potat: si what do i do after i hook it up to the router? [06:51] ShadowFios: Ok, you should do that when you get the chance. Just run "Additional Drivers" [06:51] ShadowFios: It should detect your wireless card and install what you need. [06:52] btw once you are hooked to the router you should have wired internet without a problem [06:52] potat: and then everything will be nice and good in the world(i hope)? [06:53] there is a way to not redirect the beep to my headphones? [06:53] ShadowFios: hopefully. Wireless used to be a big hassle but Ubuntu did a great job of rounding up all the firmware [06:54] CrazyGangster: so you want to hear the beep from the speaker but not the headphones? [06:54] potat: ok cool kthxbai [06:54] bye [06:57] thats rigth potat [06:57] its possible? [06:57] I don't /think/ there's a way to do that because ALSA just mixes everything together [06:59] PulseAudio might be able to do it (pavucontrol) but I don't know how [06:59] yeah i will see... [06:59] ok [07:02] potat: Thanks , It is installed [07:02] Awesome! [07:02] what about the brightness? [07:02] potat: No, it is still the issue [07:03] And also battery backup is to bad in ubuntu compared to windows [07:03] The battery doesn't last as long? [07:04] yup, I think may be graphics driver is taking up all the charge [07:05] is there a utility in ubuntu server that uncompresses zip files? I have no internet on that pc to download unzip [07:05] That stinks. I've always had worse battery life on linux [07:06] potat: Yup :( [07:06] how come [07:06] FernandoCueva: Are you saying you want to know if there is one in the default install? [07:06] yea [07:06] !sound [07:06] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[07:08] FernandoCueva: I don't think you can do it without unzip [07:09] FernandoCueva: But can you download the .deb file for it to a flash drive or CD and copy it over? [07:09] yea I'll try dat [07:09] sri13: Do you have special keys for brightness or do you use "Fn" [07:10] yup [07:10] is unzip from gnu [07:10] I use f2 and f3 for increasing and decreasing. But no effect in ubuntu [07:11] The brightness bar is showing the progress but effect is not there [07:11] FernandoCueva: yeah http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/unzip [07:11] sri13: What laptop? [07:11] hp pavilion dv6 [07:12] sri13: Do the other f keys work to do whatever they are supposed to? [07:12] oh ok [07:13] potat: They are working, sound control is working.

[07:41] Yes, that should be a BIOS setting and you should set it to ahci before installing Ubuntu to be on the safe side. [07:42] hi [07:42] Zandybar: greetings [07:44] LukeNukem: Put sudo before it [07:44] morning [07:44] i have some gpl license questions that i hope someone here could help clarify [07:44] potat, ok also while booting from cd [07:44] i get could not load config [07:45] funkymonk: shoot [07:45] goodmorning all [07:45] funkyHat, Ask away [07:45] Is anybody here using the one click minimize patch on 12.04? [07:45] LukeNukem: What do you mean? [07:45] installing alternate from usb results in failng at install software step. I google but get mixed solutions?... Complete error is "An instalations tep failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else.

If I install ubuntu 12.04 how can I get gnome? [07:47] LukeNukem: At what point? Right when you boot or after you choose "Try Ubuntu" [07:47] unity is... strange [07:47] cwill747: I'm trying to understand what exactly pl-compatible code refers to. do it mean i could license my appplication using any gpl-compatible code and still be able to use another gplv2 code in my program? [07:47] ghabit: gnome3? [07:48] auronandace, yes. [07:48] gnone2 is best [07:48] , /media/BLACKBERRY ? [07:48] ghabit: install gnome-shell, 12.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 until released [07:48] uriol_, yes if this is where its mounted [07:48] Zandybar: gnome2 is dead [07:48] auronandace, thank you! [07:49] ghabit: no worries :) [07:49] thanks it works [07:49] funkymonk: You can only use gpl code in your code if you license it gpl or with a copyleft license [07:49] I have upgrade error http://paste.ubuntu.com/937874/ [07:50] funkymonk: licensing issues aren't really ubuntu support issues [07:51] its only an empty folder [07:51] i don't know what happens [07:51] funkymonk: actually you have to license it with GPL [07:51] uriol_: with 777 that means anyone can access it [07:52] Hi, what usb portable install should i use if i need adding custom wireless drivers after? thank [07:52] so i couldn;t even use say a compatible gpl license [07:52] i think its not mounting the device [07:52] potat: ^ [07:52] because when i plug the usb cable don't do nothing [07:53] but it appears this folder in media [07:53] funkymonk: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean [07:53] uriol_: /media/ is where things automatically mount [07:54] funkymonk: Yeah it has to be under the same licensing. You can't use gpl3 licenses either. check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/107716/licensing-changing-gplv2-licensed-code-into-gplv3-licensed-code [07:55] any idea? http://paste.ubuntu.com/937874/ [07:56] Hello? Hi. Hows it going? I'm gonna need slight assistance. Would you like to know with what? Ok here it goes. I'm upgrading to 11.10. I guess unity is a resource hog. How do I drop to something super lightweight and superfast thatwon't eat up all my ram? [07:57] darbe: before upgrading did you have any ppas installed? [07:57] celltech: you could always install XFCE or LXDE for your desktop environment. Both are light and fast. [07:57] celltech, you should go for unity-2d to save resources. if you need more light check xfce [07:57] auronandace: ppas? [07:57] !ppa [07:57] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [07:57] auronandace: yes alot [07:58] LXDE for lighter desktop environment. Try Lubuntu. [07:58] What is lxde and how well does it respond with ubuntu 11.10? [07:58] darbe: that is your problem, you are meant to remove them before upgrading [07:58] so if any code that use gplv2 means my code would have to be gplv2. So i couldn't use FreeBSD which is a gpl compatible code [07:58] !lxde [07:58] darbe: they cause dependency issues [07:59] darbe: big issues, your system is likely broken now, so you should reinstall [07:59] auronandace: i won't reinstall [07:59] darbe: enjoy a broken system then [07:59] auronandace: i will figure it out [07:59] lxde worked very well for me on 11.10 (I'm now on 12.04b2), but I changed my file manager from pcmanfm to thunar [07:59] celltech: You can find the Xubuntu desktop and (I think) Lubuntu desktop in Software Center after you upgrade. But you might want to wait for 12.04 (April 26) [07:59] auronandace: thank you though [08:00] darbe: i always avoid ppas, they are nothing but trouble [08:00] Well my specs are 120gb hdd, 2.2ghz cpu, and 768mb ram [08:00] and I'm looking for light weight and mass speed with very few to almost no hang ups [08:00] celltech: your specs are enough for both xfce and lxde [08:00] 1 more question. Support and updates of gnome-shell will be weaker because main course is unity? [08:00] celltech: Lubuntu or Xubuntu. [08:00] Looking for gnome oriented distro. [08:01] ghabit: Well, gnome-shell will follow the mainline I suppose. There is a Ubuntu "Gnome Shell remix" but it's not officially supported. [08:01] Lubuntu should be good for your PC. Maybe adding more RAM. [08:01] theadmin: what's the lightest thats still fully functional? Lubuntu or Xubuntu? [08:01] celltech: Define "fully functional". [08:01] celltech: Lubuntu [08:02] Functional that I can run mass normal ubuntu things on it [08:02] ghabit: If you want a Ubuntu-like distro that's designed to be GNOME Shell integrated check out Linux Mint [08:02] and still get all the same awesome out of it [08:02] celltech: Both. Lubuntu is lighter. [08:02] Lubuntu...cpu and ram really light. Energy effient too... [08:02] i mean Lubuntu good for your Laptop battery too... [08:02] ghabit: i run mint with gnome2. its tops!! [08:02] theadmin: So I'll go lubuntu, and I can still install all the same ubuntu software packages and do strip downs of added junk to keep it nice and fast? [08:03] celltech: Sure. [08:03] celltech: yes. [08:03] Zandybar, need fresh version of gnome. And supported. ^) [08:03] ghabit: http://linuxmint.com/rel_lisa_whatsnew.php [08:03] By the way. I hear now you can install one of the *Buntu's on macs now. Is that true? [08:03] potat: Mint is *not* supported. [08:04] celltech: Linux has been running on Macs for quite a while now rather well [08:04] Hello! I just read yesterday that Oracle's released a complete-ish fsck utility for BTRFS along with a number of improvements http://oss.oracle.com/ol6/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-UEK2-en.html [08:04] oh i see [08:04] Awesome. Caues I'm thinking of getting the new 12core, 4tb mac [08:04] Do you guys reckon it'll be appearing in Ubuntu, too, soon? [08:04] How do I install locale sv_SE?; the command locale -a will provide a list of available locales. [08:04] I think Linus Torvalds running Linux on iMac right? [08:04] i did [08:05] sudo apt-get remove ape [08:05] beloved: Control Center -> Language Support [08:05] and it removed a couple of plugins [08:05] :\ [08:05] i think i need to reinstall them, how can i go about doing that === vanlong441_ is now known as vanlong441 [08:06] Rounin: Possible. Ubuntu isn't oriented for btrfs, and has always defaulted to the Extended filesystems (ext2/3/4) so. [08:06] The fact that apple has some of the best hardware ever, and some of the fastest computers. I would have to say I'm interested in trying linux on a mac machine [08:06] serdotlin: http://imgur.com/r/battlestations/ktQTB [08:06] theadmin: Would a "Ubuntu i18n" dist include language support for all languages? Trisquel has such variant. [08:07] theadmin: Trisquel has i18n in the title name of a variant that it. [08:07] Oh, I didn't know that, theadmin... Though now that you mention it, it seems to be getting very little attention overall now [08:07] Perhaps people got tired of waiting [08:07] beloved: I don't think this is officially supported. The only officially supported Ubuntu versions are Ubuntu, Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Studio, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu. [08:07] potat: is that Macbook pro? [08:07] Is there away I can re-install ubuntu on top of ubuntu without re-installing win7? [08:08] theadmin: are there some packages to install "All Language Supports" [08:08] i'm looking for a way to force my marvel sata controller to use the ahci driver instead of the pata driver [08:09] beloved: Not sure, but you could use apt wildcards, such as sudo apt-get install kde-l10n-* (that's for KDE, and the only one I can honestly remember right off the bat) [08:09] theadmin: Sweet. [08:10] theadmin: Check out Trisquel i18n if you are intrested in a 100% free Ubuntu derivate with full language support. DVD sized. [08:10] anyone know where the inbuilt installer is? [08:10] beloved: I honestly am not interested in Ubuntu at all, lol, I'm an Arch user and only ever use the en_US locale anyway. [08:10] theadmin: And thank you for helping me out. [08:11] theadmin: Oh, Thought you were a "Ubuntu Admin" by looking at your nick. [08:12] beloved: Nope. to get a list of admins do: /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list [08:12] we are legion [08:12] theadmin: Your'e sharp as a bot ;) [08:13] goodnight all [08:15] I'm trying to get Midnight commander for jaunty [08:15] FernandoCueva: sudo apt-get install mc [08:15] FernandoCueva: Owait, jaunty is dead. Upgrade. [08:15] but I can't find the right one on ubuntu package search only for lucid and hardy and others but not jaunty [08:16] !eol | FernandoCueva [08:16] FernandoCueva: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [08:16] I can't install the new one yet I have no cds and the usb isn't bootable [08:16] plus the laptop doens't have a floopy drive so I can't even use the plop boot manager [08:17] Good morning guys. VSFTPD anyone? [08:17] Alright fine if I just wipe the entire drive and re-install kubuntu do I install win7 afterwards for a dual boot? [08:18] Why do you need WIn7? [08:18] datruth_: Nope, it's the other way around, Windows first, Ubuntu later [08:18] yeap BTW [08:19] FernandoCueva: You can use an alternative-cd ISO to upgrade. [08:20] Imre_: Your question doesn't make sense. Nobody here is vsftpd ;) Details needed. [08:20] theadmin: thanks do you know of a way to replace my current install of ubuntu without re-installing windows? [08:20] :) [08:20] datruth_: Uh, well, you can just re-install Ubuntu without touching windows, no problems there. [08:20] I would like to achive the following: [08:21] theadmin: how can I get the install not to make new partitions but to use the pre-exiting ubunt install? [08:21] erm ... I have to think about it a bit longer, please wait. Buffering :P [08:21] *ubuntu [08:21] datruth_: the installer has an option to pick existing partitions [08:21] datruth_: Using the advanced partitioning, wipe the current Ubuntu partition and create a new one in place. Then, mount it to / [08:22] datruth_: I also suggest to do a separate /home to make reinstalls and upgrades easier in the future. [08:22] theadmin: hrmm ok [08:22] llutz_: where? and is this option in kubuntu aswell? [08:22] datruth_: The installer is identical in all Ubuntu releases, all of em use Ubiquity. [08:23] Imre: you should seperate root and home partitions, it so much easier to upgrade to new version [08:23] datruth_: like theadmin said: use "advanced" when it comes to disk/partitions [08:23] I'm not the one who want's to upgrade :) [08:23] theadmin, I have no cds [08:24] FernandoCueva: You can use the ISO directly, just mount it: sudo mount -o loop your-alternate-ubuntu-karmic.iso /mnt [08:24] FernandoCueva: Then again, Karmic is also dead... em... I have no idea how to solve it to be honest [08:24] FernandoCueva: ...Buy a CD? That's no big deal. [08:24] theadmin / llutz_ would manual be considered as advanced? [08:24] datruth_: manual partitioning, I'm not sure how ubiquity calls it anymore. [08:25] datruth_: could be, just check the options it gives you [08:25] ;/ [08:25] datruth_: I'm almost entirely certain it's the last option. That's just Ubuntu style. [08:26] So basicly: Is there a way to just create a folder ( like Uploads ) and then as I add more and more folders in it ( Mike, Alex, Julia, etc... ) the login would work like: username=foldername password=(well, donno how to set up a password this way) [08:28] theadmin: any reason why I wouldn't beable to format the paritions? when I select the pre-existing one I can't format nor define a / mount path === JermB0b is now known as JermBob [08:29] datruth_: That's odd... [08:29] datruth_: Wait, let me run through a basic Ubuntu install in a sec. Which version are you using exactly? I'll tell you how to do it [08:30] kubuntu 12.04 LTS [08:31] !12.04 [08:31] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the 16th release of Ubuntu and is in Beta testing from 2nd March, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [08:31] datruth_: Eh, Precise is unreleased and unsupported. Visit #ubuntu+1 for help with it. [08:33] Thanks [08:34] . [08:37] Is there no support for me here? Only manuals? :( [08:37] how do I set the size of scrolbars back to the way it was? right now it is extremely narrow. [08:37] hello all, precise does not have a linux-server kernel? i did a do-release-upgrade and it replaced linux-image-3.0.0-17-server with linux-image-3.2.0.23-generic [08:38] phpN00b u can set it in settings [08:38] Hello, how to disable a service in ubuntu? [08:38] mrsuchyPL, where exactly? [08:39] System -> Preferences [08:39] Tellmarch: or use sysv-rc-conf [08:39] and there u have [08:40] xsl, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-image&searchon=names&suite=precise§ion=all [08:41] I don't see anything in System-> Preferences about services [08:42] Tellmarch system -> administration and there you have monitor system [08:42] in this option u cane shoutdown any service do you want [08:42] can* [08:42] I don't want to just shutdown it, I want to disable it [08:42] Tellmarch: Stuff under /etc/init/ that ends in .conf specifies services. Rename it in such a way that it doesn't end in .conf, for instance something.conf -> something.conf.DISABLED [08:43] like in my old linux i'd rename the file in rc5.d, i was wondering if there is a graphical utility in ubuntu [08:43] but i guess not :) [08:43] Tellmarch, /etc/xdg/autostart ? [08:43] shouldes: ...That's got nothing to do with services whatsoever [08:44] shouldes, no, it's not there, it's services... something that can be run with "service" for instance [08:45] (in my case i have wicd and network manager installed, i'd like to disable wicd for now) [08:45] Tellmarch: System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications ? [08:45] no [08:45] that's just the graphical application [08:45] not the service [08:45] Tellmarch: sudo service wicd stop && sudo mv /etc/init/wicd.conf /etc/init/wicd.conf.DISABLED [08:46] the admin wicd this is a wirless aplication ? [08:46] mrsuchyPL: Yeah, it's a networkmanager alternative. [08:46] I see [08:46] theadmin, there is no wicd.conf there ,but ok, if it's just the usual command tools i know the "old way" to do it [08:46] mrsuchyPL: Stands for "Wireless Internet Connection Daemon" methinks [08:47] mrsuchyPL, yes it allows to choose a specific AP, networkmanager doesn't [08:47] Tellmarch: I'd like to point out that Ubuntu doesn't use systemV Init anymore, so you have no rcN.d directories or /etc/init.d/ (well, you do, but that ain't what you're normally looking for) [08:47] theadmin, hmm, really? i'm in 10.04, maybe it has changed since then? [08:48] i don't have the wicd.conf in init [08:48] Uuuh... Tellmarch, I'm not sure when upstart was introduced, I think it was 9.10, but in 10.04 the migration process is still not complete I *think*. [08:48] Tellmarch: the old sysV-style scripts still exist, upstart manages them [08:48] wicd isn't an upstart job i think [08:48] Tellmarch: Ah okay, listen to llutz_, he knows better. [08:48] at least it doesn't tell me when i start it by init.d [08:48] (unlike network manager) [08:49] well, thanks for the help [08:49] hello. I have a question. I started my wife's computer this morning, and in the workspace switcher applet, there is a small rectangle that shows, indicating an app in the window, yet there's no app in the window. (11.10 unity) how can i find which app is running in the window? I've tried htop, and gone through the processes there, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. [08:50] if I attempt to modify the /etc/modprobe.d/something.conf with contents of : options ahci marvell_enable=1, and regen the initrd, it still uses pata_marvel instead of ahci kernel module...

[08:59] shouldes, oh, thanks, that should work [09:00] !sound [09:00] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[09:04] ReXHaviK: Well, just saying you should PM the bot next time you want such self help. [09:04] khmerog: You installed via the Windows installer? Awful idea. Generally, this sets how much disk space is dedicated to Ubuntu's virtual drive, how much it can use. [09:04] ?? [09:04] why is it awful idea? [09:05] khmerog: Because wubi has always been half-broken. [09:05] ooo [09:05] i dont have a cd rom for my net book [09:05] theadmin, yes, something to consider, excuse me, i have sound issues to resolve now [09:05] khmerog: You can install Ubuntu from USB. [09:05] so i think this is the only way to install ub [09:05] oh [09:05] I have a 4gb mini memory card in a usb card reader. When I plug the reader with the memory stick into the system it says it a read only. Which it shouldn't be of course. Would really appreciate how to configure something to get it back or recognised as a read+write media again. [09:05] <___MAX> hi, any one know good vpn client work under wine [09:06] openVPN [09:06] reader with memory card I should have said [09:06] bad me [09:06] theadmin can u explain "dedicated to Ubuntu vitrual drive" to me [09:06] is it a drive where i can download music/videos and will be stored there? [09:06] hi __Max [09:06] u sob [09:06] khmerog: Well, when you install with Wubi, it creates a virtual hard disk inside a file (kinda like ISO images for CD drives, I guess), which Ubuntu gets installed to, and which Ubuntu writes all it's info to. [09:07] <___MAX> Imre: like cisco client [09:07] khmerog, you should have /host directory containing the real disk [09:07] How can I make a .sh file to be accessable in terminal just like the common terminal commands? [09:08] Imre_, you can put it in a folder that is in your $PATH [09:08] Imre_: sudo mv yourfile.sh /usr/local/bin/yourfile && sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/yourfile && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/yourfile [09:09] Thank you! [09:10] coool Lint [09:10] Imre_: Or, simplier: sudo install -o root -g root -m 755 yourfile.sh /usr/local/bin/ [09:10] da best :D [09:10] Lint i just see all my windows 7 files [09:11] i have access to them too ! [09:11] im trying to find this 30gb file that theadmin is talking about..i did find it once [09:11] khmerog: Wubi installs to $drive_you_chose/ubuntu/disks/root.disk [09:12] you mean the internet explorer update file [09:12] This is getting better and better. :) [09:12] :) [09:12] hmm [09:12] i got disconnected [09:12] khmerog: Wubi installs to $drive_you_chose/ubuntu/disks/root.disk [09:12] I have a pastebin image for the fstab + the blkid if that helps: http://pastebin.com/P3WRcv1r [09:12] ok let me try to find [09:12] Now only one question: Do you know a good filebrowser with built in FTP Browser? Nauilus didn't do the trick [09:13] Imre_: Thunar, Dolphin, PCManFM... [09:13] PCManFM??? [09:13] well konqueror does it for sure... but it's heavy... [09:13] I have LXDE [09:13] Imre_: (not so sure about that last one to be honest, but I *think* it does it, just type the ftp:// url in your address bar) [09:14] found it thanks..okay theadmin..so what would be the diff. next time if i choosed 5gb or even 1gb next time i installed ubstead of 30 [09:14] naa, I need an easier. The system I creating has to be an "out of the box" one. For me it is stupid, but that's what I have to [09:15] theadmin_: You are many, many help for me. :) Really [09:16] Imre_: Uh, thanks. I have no _ in my nickname, though. [09:17] sry [09:17] just don'T know how to whisper [09:17] :) [09:18] hi [09:18] Imre_: "whisper"? lol, RPG term much. To send a highlight, "nickname: message". To send a private message, "/msg nickname message", or sometimes, "/query nickname message". [09:18] theadmin did u see my question? [09:18] theadmin: Thanks :P :D [09:18] khmerog_: Yeah, but I don't understand what you're saying. [09:18] ok [09:19] doesnt matter u advised me not to install the way i did [09:19] so i should install from usb [09:19] khmerog_: Yeah, well. You really should install from USB or CD. [09:19] im guessing i need to partition right? [09:19] khmerog_: Yeah, but you can do it during the install. [09:19] i need some help getting this sata card using ahci instead of pata_marvel : http://dpaste.com/735484/ [09:20] does my usb have to be clean/formatted with only the iso on there? [09:20] becuase i have bunch of files on my usb drive [09:20] khmerog_: You don't just put the ISO on a USB stick, you use some tool like LinuxLive USB Creator. [09:20] khmerog_: But yes, you'll have format to vfat. [09:21] airtonix: I'm not sure, but a udev rule maybe? [09:22] http://dpaste.com/735485/ [09:22] airtonix: (as I said, not sure, just the first idea which comes to mind when I need to force a device to do/be something is an udev rule ;) [09:22] Is there a channel favorites in xchat? [09:22] theadmin: bios is also set to ahci mode, bios sees the 4 2tb drives and so does the raid daughter board in question (when it prints its post display) [09:23] hello. I have a question. I started my wife's computer this morning, and in the workspace switcher applet, there is a small rectangle that shows, indicating an app in the workspace (WS 1 of 4 which is the default), yet there's no app in the workspace itself in the screen. (11.10 unity) how can i find which app is running in the workspace? I've tried htop, and gone through the processes there, but nothing seems out of the ordinary. [09:26] /join #ubuntu+1 [09:28] hi anybody here .. who has ben trying ubuntu 12 betas?? [09:28] ohh shoot\ [09:28] do i need to uninstal this ubuntu live version first? [09:28] ashjas: /join #ubuntu+1 [09:29] @theadmin ok thanks... [09:29] should i join too? [09:30] since i have lots of questions [09:30] khmerog_: First, Wubi isn't what I would call a "live version" of Ubuntu. You don't need to remove Wubi before doing a normal dual boot install, though it might be better just to avoid confusion between the two. [09:30] kk [09:31] is ubuntu 12 beta ppretty stable? or should i just install ubuntuo 11.10 which i just downloaed 5 min ago [09:31] khmerog_: There are good instructions for putting Ubuntu on a USB stick, and the rest of the install process, at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [09:31] khmerog, 12.04 will be released in a few days [09:33] beta? or lts ? [09:33] LTS [09:33] damn [09:33] i just wasted 700mb of bandwidth [09:33] khmerog, release on 26th iirc [09:33] has anyone succesfully archived their account on facebook? [09:34] Tellmarch, khmerog_: yep, 26th [09:34] what is linux ppc? [09:34] kk...i guess ill download it the first of next month [09:34] how long does it take...? [09:34] how do you get a script to run at login? [09:34] pocket pc [09:34] usually it's .xinitrc [09:35] um does ubuntu has anything similiar to system restore in windows? [09:35] but that only works if you start a User Defined Session i [09:36] tero: it does if you use zfs and zfs-auto-snapshot [09:36] a what? :) [09:36] hm i guess i was looking for GUI one click solution [09:36] :( [09:36] so i guess no? [09:36] i just said yes [09:36] so i guess yes? [09:37] you said "yes IF" [09:37] and that's a big IF :) [09:37] if i install ubuntu 11.10 and when 12.04 comes out can i just update? [09:37] i guess this was never impemented http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1230/ [09:37] khmerog_: yes [09:37] kk [09:38] khmerog, though in my opinion it's often best to do a fresh install... [09:38] you get something cleaner :) [09:40] Tellmarch: yes if is much closer to yes than no [09:41] test [09:42] I have a 4gb mini memory card in a usb card reader. When I plug the reader with the memory card into the system it says it a read only. Which it shouldn't be of course. Any suggestions? [09:43] merryman540: tried formatting?

I don't know what type of file it is, it's not a .deb [10:12] captainjamie: Well, what's the extension? [10:13] how do you get a script to run at login? usually I use .xinitrc, but that only runs when I select User Defined Session from the Login Manager [10:13] I want a script to run a login regardless of what type of X Session I select [10:13] at login* [10:14] captainjamie: type the command $file [10:14] SwashBuckla: How about putting something like [ -z $DISPLAY ] || /path/to/your/script [10:14] SwashBuckla: In your .profile, that is [10:14] theadmin: where? [10:14] ah ok, thanks [10:15] how do I run a script after the installation is done? Should I use the kickstart post event or some other method? [10:16] theadmin: why am I testing to see if DISPLAY is zero? [10:16] and then not doing anything [10:16] SwashBuckla: it says "Downloads/avadon-linux-1331768904-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped" [10:17] captainjamie: you can probably chmod +x the binary, and just run it like ./avadon-linux-... [10:17] go into Downloads obviously [10:17] and run it from there with ./ [10:17] Thanks [10:17] $chmod +x makes it executable (if it isn't already) [10:18] SwashBuckla: maybe you need upstart? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [10:18] the_drow: maybe I do? [10:18] SwashBuckla: http://upstart.ubuntu.com [10:18] SwashBuckla: Well, uh, the basic idea is "unless DISPLAY is 0-length, run the script" [10:18] "how do you get a script to run at login? usually I use .xinitrc, but that only runs when I select User Defined Session from the Login Manager" [10:19] Probably. It has such an event that you can hook on. [10:19] SwashBuckla: Thanks, it worked perfectly! === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [10:19] captainjamie: no problem [10:20] the_drow: yeah that sounds like what I want [10:20] I'll try that out [10:20] now I'm looking for a method to run a script once [10:20] I'm surprised that I wasn't inundated with responses [10:20] as what I want to do is quite comon [10:21] I was used to just whacking everything in .xinitrc, but Ubuntu disregards that unless it's explicitly a User Defined Sessions [10:21] s/Sessions/Session/ [10:21] hello [10:21] Running a script once after the installation is also very common, but it seems that there is no trivial way to do it. [10:21] hi [10:21] when 12.04 is out ? [10:21] the_drow: after installation of what? [10:21] ngomes: Ask in #ubuntu+1 [10:21] ok [10:22] SwashBuckla: of ubuntu [10:22] ngomes: in about 4 days [10:22] ciao [10:22] that sounds like something you want to bundle into a livecd [10:22] !list [10:22] boriccu: No warez here!

If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ».

[10:24] ngomes: what kind of upgrade? to 12.04 ?? [10:25] SwashBuckla: I want to be able to run this after the installation of ubuntu https://github.com/thedrow/devenv-python/blob/master/bootstrap.sh [10:25] carroarmato0, yes [10:25] 11.10 to 12.04 [10:26] update....························^^^···^ · [10:26] ops sorry [10:26] update-manager -d shows available [10:27] SwashBuckla: I'm wondering if kickstart can do so in it's post event [10:27] would i t be something you include in a custom livecd? [10:27] it* [10:28] ngomes: -d, --devel-release [10:28] (@ the_drow ) [10:28] kinda. I'd prefer installation over network. [10:28] this channel is a bit too busy to not include nick: prefix [10:28] I could lightening speed my computer up and use my spare 120gb drive as a swapspace drive :) [10:28] the_drow: oh right [10:29] SwashBuckla: I'm writing a series of blog posts about selecting and installing an OS development workstation for python [10:29] how are you installing Ubuntu over the network? Surely that has an exit code [10:29] and you can just run your command afterwards in the sequence [10:30] using kickstart [10:30] where are personal packages discussed? [10:30] sebrock, clarify what you mean. [10:30] sebrock if you mean PPAs, contact the maintainer [10:31] Dr_willis_: ok [10:31] SwashBuckla: I know I can run my command after using %post but I'm actually not sure in what state the OS is. Can it run everything as usual? If I login and run my script from the shell will the results be the same? [10:31] the_drow: I have no experience doing what you're doing.. [10:31] so good luck, lemme know if you find a solution as I'm intruigued [10:32] SwashBuckla: there is not much documentation of real world use cases regarding automated installation. [10:32] SwashBuckla: I'm a developer, not an IT expert. [10:33] SwashBuckla: btw, http://omerkatz.com [10:34] is there a easy way to change language in ubuntu ? [10:34] i want it in english [10:35] the_drow: oh cool. That might come in handy :) [10:36] it's good that you're documenting it [10:38] System/Administration/Language Support/Install Remove Languages [10:38] can anyone tell me what cli command is this ?

[10:39] dear all, i have a remote server. i updated the OS ( ubuntu 10.04 ) to latest updates and rebooted. now, there is no one in office as it is a sunday and the server has come back online partially. that is, only apache service has started the mysqld and even sshd has not started. is there a way out ? is anyone facing such issues with the latest 10.04 lts server updates ? is there a way to prioritize sshd so that i can still control the server in such sit [10:40] ngomes: apt-get install language-pack-WHATEVER [10:40] jrib, ok [10:40] pea_brain: if ssh is down, then you need to go into the office [10:41] how to prioritize sshd to startup first ? [10:41] pea_brain: you don't even know what's wrong yet :) [10:42] jrib: very true. [10:43] jrib, i did, still using old language [10:43] ngomes: yes, that just enables support. You still need to choose your language at the login screen [10:43] jrib: is there something similar to interactive mode startup in ubuntu, so that i can send a support person and try to get the server up ? [10:44] jrib, ok , gonna try it [10:44] look at the S scripts in rc.d [10:44] pea_brain: not really, but I'd go look at what's on the screen first [10:44] thats how you prioritise stuff to start before other stuff [10:44] fl1bbl3: keep in mind ubuntu now uses upstart for a lot of init scripts [10:45] ah ok, tbh haven't had to mess with that stuff for ages (clearly).

[10:58] i want to execute a specific command (for reverse ssh things) every time my computer reboot [10:58] nepta: for something like that you should probably just use @reboot in cron [10:59] nepta, /etc/rc.local , put there your specific command [11:04] hi [11:05] where are printers drivers in Ubuntu [11:06] alo21, activate CUPS and then manage it at http://localhost:631 [11:06] yes CUPS [11:06] ngomes: yes.. but I would know their location in Ubuntu [11:07] hi [11:08] hi [11:08] hi [11:08] Happy, what do you want ?

You may want to consider a lighter desktop environment than unity (like xfce for example) [13:22] !alternate | ruman [13:22] ruman: with 512RAM you should probably check out lubuntu (ubuntu recommends 1GB minimum) [13:22] ruman: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD.

[14:38] Anomymous123: don't believe everything you hear [14:38] thanks ;) [14:39] Anomymous123: and believe wiki ;) [14:39] <_Marcus> Anomymous123: Look, this channel isn't a directory. Ask #freenode if you want to find a channel for that topic. [14:39] MonkeyDust: doesn't seem capital D works... [14:39] Anomymous123: hackers communicate with it, yes. normal people do as well. hackers even use computers, and I have heard of normal people using those as well *gasp* [14:39] ;) [14:39] and believe politicians [14:39] whats normal lol [14:39] _TjaxT, a bash script and then chmod +x the file but most likely you will still need to enter password when it runs for sudo, unless you have changed how sudo handles passwords [14:40] zykotick9 lower case d does the trick [14:41] okay...i'will collect more info on that...and join u people soon...if possible give me best link to know more about irc and #ubuntu channel... [14:41] I have a NAS with family pictures, and I keep a copy on my computer. I use picasa(via wine) to index and make albums etc. My wife uses windows to access the NAS. I want to update my local copy if new pictures are added to the NAS directly, and I don't want to lose my pictures if pictures on the NAS get deleted.Is rsync the best solution?

I have avidemux installed, but neither of those formats is listed in the video selection. I have the medibuntu repo in my sources, but which package do I need for h264? [14:44] that will create the bash script? [14:44] RyoRonin: is the -P necessary? i've never used it - and my system powers down. TjaxT [14:44] Tjaxt, no you have to open a terminal and use like nano update and enter the information [14:45] zykoticks9, I have 2 laptops that I shuttdown and without the -P it doesn't power down [14:45] !tab > RyoRonin [14:45] RyoRonin, please see my private message [14:45] RyoRonin: interesting, that uncommon [14:45] an you tell me any softphone which could run easily on xubuntu or lubuntu..please help [14:47] detly: if you want h264/aac i'd recommend handbrake (not in default repo), there is a gui and cli version [14:47] ruman there's ekiga [14:47] detly, i think you need the libavformat & libavformat-extra-52 package > http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=912 [14:48] ubottu: could u help me about how to use irc...i'm now using chatzilla..

It appears that kernel modules are loaded, but I don't have anything but "saa7146: register extension 'dvb'" when my system boots. [14:50] RyoRonin: again, that is an odd case... i certainly couldn't explain it [14:51] zykotick9: thanks for the info though. [14:51] uzf: i'd check "dmesg | grep firmware" do you get any messages about missing? [14:52] zykotick9 OerHeks: hmm, handbrake has it available (but not ogg or webm, alas), but not avidemux [14:52] MonkeDust: how to reply to perticular user, do i need to use any tag like we use @ in twitter [14:52] thx [14:53] zykotick9: nothing is there [14:53] detly: handbrake uses it's own version of ffmpeg that has stuff the ubuntu's version removes (medibuntu's version should support h264 though). I'm not sure avidemux supports h264 though... [14:53] uzf: ok, just checking. best of luck.

If you want to learn about basic irc things consider using another channel or i.e. online docs about it like the wiki article, or the freenode faq. i bet they give a good start. regarding asking in irc consider reading that long but good article: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - Welcome in irc ;) [14:55] zykotick9: is there a program that can render video in all of the usual web formats?

[14:57] fidel: okay...will join u soon.. === nikolja is now known as nikolja|odsutan [14:58] Hello guys, can anyone give me a hand with partition encryption? I need to create a encrypted partition that will be decrypted with a key inside a pendrive, can anyone point me in a direction? [14:59] Hey all. I have a problem [14:59] zykotick9: bah, I can't install the medibuntu ffmpeg, the oneiric-updates version is higher and something's stopping me from forcing the version [14:59] I started a dist-upgrade on my laptop and have no battery. [15:00] <_Marcus> dekker: Plug in a charger [15:00] Now, I found out it'll take 4 hours. I am not sure if I -have- 4 hours to complete this install [15:00] please suggest any softphone which could run easily on xubuntu or lubuntu platform ..for calling purpose...through dialer CTI server [15:00] detly: sorry, i can't help there. the ffmpeg from ubuntu repos lacks AAC, thus MP4 support is incomplete. [15:00] As in, the battery does not work and I have no working battery, _Marcus [15:00] if it dies during upgrade you could lose the system [15:00] I'd like to know if there's a way to interrupt or pause an upgrade safely. It's past the download stage and is currently installing updates [15:01] <_Marcus> dekker: So the battery isn't functional? [15:01] !info ekiga | ruman [15:01] ruman: ekiga (source: ekiga): H.323 and SIP compatible VoIP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.3.2-0ubuntu1 (oneiric), package size 8645 kB, installed size 20408 kB [15:01] Nop. It acts as if it's not connected [15:01] caifas: truecrypt? you can use keyfiles with that [15:01] <_Marcus> dekker: So I don't understand, does it work or does it not work? [15:01] I partitioned two disks with GParted to NTFS. Now one of them is reporting extra partitions (both with the original name of the single partition) and the second disk is reporting that it is blank (NTFS with one partition and %100 disk space free). Both disks just had a great amount of important stuff copied to them - is there any hope of recovery? [15:02] Actually, _Marcus, on -windows-, it acts as if the battery is not connected. On Ubuntu, it doesn't even show anything related to batteries as well. Currently on a charger, and I know it'll just lose power completely if I pull the plug. [15:02] Oh and Windows 7 doesn't recognized either disk [15:02] bbbbbbbb: I'll take a look, ty :D [15:02] <_Marcus> dekker: My advice would be try to keep the charger in [15:03] <_Marcus> theverant: If Windows isn't detecting the NTFS partition, it could have a problem with the partition [15:03] theverant, what does sudo fdisk -l show? [15:03] Anyone know how to dual-boot ubuntu & Windows 7 ? === oscarpaats is now known as ozpy [15:03] _Marcus, that is a very sensible kind of advice and I appreciate it (even though I already figured as much), but what do I do if I have to go before the upgrade completes? [15:03] I kind of figured the dist-upgrade to take maybe an hour or two :P [15:04] zykotick9: but there's libfaac0 [15:04] it may only take an hour dekker [15:04] sentriz first install windows, then ubuntu [15:04] .. [15:04] okay, [15:04] Hm. Whoops. It started showing 4 hours, now it shows 1 hour 37 mins [15:04] detly: all i know, it ffmpeg in default ubuntu repo doesn't support AAC, you need mediubuntu's version for that. [15:05] I did not know Microsoft provided the estimator :P [15:05] s/it/is/ [15:05] Windows is installed, when I boot ubuntu from USB, there's no option for side-by-side like there used to be - MonkeyDust [15:05] <_Marcus> sentriz: What version of Ubuntu are you installing? [15:05] Thanks for taking the time to answer my question anyway, quackers and _Marcus! :) [15:06] Now.. if I -did- have to unplug it... best advice is to tell my laptop to kiss its virtual hindside goodbye? [15:06] sentris how many primary partitions is Windows using? [15:06] dekker it's possible === Timothy is now known as Taftse [15:07] Hi, I just installed a package with apt-get, let's call it p. Can apt-get tell me what files were installed? [15:07] _Marcus - ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386 [15:07] Good to hear. What would I have to do, quackers? For future reference and stuff [15:07] myrkraverk: dpkg -L p [15:07] Ah, thanks. [15:07] <_Marcus> sentriz: It will ask you what you want to do at one point. Install Ubuntu over Windows, install it next to Windows, or something else [15:08] myrkraverk, synaptic package manager would tell you [15:08] <_Marcus> sentriz: This is at the begining. Select next to Windows [15:08] _Marcus - but there's no option for that, that's the problem [15:08] quackers: I'm just a command line junky. [15:08] dang, I can't install the medibuntu version of ffmpeg until they update theirs [15:08] <_Marcus> Sentriz: Where are you in the install right now. Describe to me what it says [15:09] sentriz: you need to check your partitions you can only have 4 [15:09] dekker upgrades can be a bit dodgy. an upgrade will almost certainly ditch your system if power is lost during it [15:09] i have C E and L partitions, i was hoping to put ubuntu on l [15:09] *L [15:10] Mhm. But you said it's possible, quackers. I figured you mean that it can be done semi-safely? Or at least with a chance of not b0rking horribly? [15:10] <_Marcus> sentriz: So you are in the advanced settings for the partitions? [15:10] I have about 3G as cache in "free -m". How do i find which process is using cache for most part? Something like top but for cached memory only. [15:11] sentriz, you may also have a small partition at the beginning of the drive (for boot) which will make 4 in total. check that first [15:11] Error404NotFound: the system uses cache, not programs directly [15:11] !atemyram | Error404NotFound [15:11] Error404NotFound: 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 [15:11] sentriz, don't try to make a 5th partition if you already have 4 [15:11] er okay [15:11] hey gang i got a toshiba satelite with a nvidia graphics card. Im trying to get displays working on both the VGA output as well as the HDMI output [15:12] cmcintosh: at the same time?

[15:12] i also have a madcatz usb to vga, but i have not be successful in getting that to work either [15:13] zykotick9, is there a reason it wont work that way? hardware limitation or driver? [15:13] cmcintosh: ususally the vga/dvi are treated as a single connection (hardware wise) [15:13] ok fair enough [15:14] how about the madcats usbvga device [15:14] model is uv150 [15:14] HI [15:14] !nvidia [15:14] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:14] [15:15] i can see it when i look at the available usb devices and in fact my virtual box windows machine can see it as well, but have yet to get it to show a display :/ [15:15] NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] [15:16] sentriz, if you do have 4 primary partitions and want to install to your L partition - delete that partition first and the Ubuntu installer will then give you the extra option [15:16] the L partition [15:16] hi ubottu, the default method shown by Ubuntu where it displays "Restricted Drivers Available" does not work at all [15:17] it does not work for Even ATI [15:17] luckily ATI binary script works with no issues [15:17] Thanks, quakers [15:17] *quackers [15:18] np good luck :-) [15:19] hmm [15:20] hmmm [15:21] !empathy [15:21] empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME.

Please could someone tell me how to stop Apt from trying to use a CD? I don't have a GUI yet and want to install things, but it won't recognise the flash disk that the distro was installed from. So I figure deleting the CD source is the easiest solution [15:33] Hi [15:33] Shact, your /etc/apt/sources.list most likely has a cd entry near the top. Comment it out. #entry (use the #) [15:33] <_Marcus> Hi PasNox [15:34] I'm using wifi usb key RTL8191S on kubuntu 64bits edition, and after some times the connection is dropped, but networkmanager still say i'm connected. [15:34] dr_willis: Thanks. How can I do that without a text editor? Do I have a terminal editor installed? [15:34] each time i need to disconnect / reconect the wifi [15:34] anything i can do please? [15:34] Shact, theres most likely several text editors for the console. Nano is one. [15:34] !nano [15:34] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [15:34] Also, how can I cancel the command I'm in, which wants me to insert a disc? Thanks [15:35] Shact, ctrl-c - shell basics 101. :) [15:35] :) [15:35] hi [15:35] First day [15:35] <_Marcus> Hi grimeton [15:35] is ubuntu able to suspend usb harddrives after some time? [15:35] and is it doing that automagically? [15:35] Newbuntu2, yes rsync would be perfect [15:35] grimeton, they spindown here to save power after like 20 min here ive noticed. [15:36] dr_willis: ok, so it does that even if the filesystem on top is mounted? [15:36] does it for internal drives also. [15:36] grimeton, yes. [15:36] dr_willis: that's what i wanted to know :) using xmbcbuntu - thanks! [15:37] digitalslave: any suggestions on the flags? [15:37] if the files are being read from the disk - they wont spindown. [15:37] also, I have it shared as SMB [15:37] Newbuntu2, man rsync [15:38] can I rsync to smb, or do I need to mount it locally first (mount x /media/NAS) and then rsync? [15:38] Newbuntu2, -a for archive would be sufficient if you want to delete what has been removed you can add --delete i generally like to watch progress as well --progress [15:39] Newbuntu2: you can sync without mounting (rsync is from the samba guys) [15:39] oh cool - didn't know that [15:39] rsync is great [15:39] ++ [15:39] rsnaphot too =) [15:40] so zvra would do the trick? [15:40] nobody for my wifi problem ? [15:41] wifi problem? [15:41] compress for faster transfer, archive to keep the timestamps, v to see what is going on, r for recursive? and it will NOT delete files? [15:41] Newbuntu2, a already includes r. you can also add n to do a test run to see what it would do [15:41] PasNox, check the forums and askubuntu.com - i see a lot of 'connection drops' issues asked in here.. never seen a good general fix. [15:42] Newbuntu2: rsync -av --progress ... [15:42] Newbuntu2: you should also check rsync -h [15:42] dr_willis: yes i googled a lot and finaly comes here because of no thing to fix it :/ [15:42] Newbuntu2: and you can enforce rsync to not work in surprise mode [15:42] my $8 usb wifi dongle i got the other day.. has similer issues.. but im going to run wires this week. :) [15:42] it seem the driver my wifi dongle use is still in staging [15:43] PasNox, see if it works better in the 12.04 beta [15:43] Is there any way to dock the Unity Sidebar at the bottom of the screen instead of on the side? :) [15:43] * Gaming4JC duck duck goes it meanwhile [15:44] I got one of those Ethernet->Wifi adaptors like for a PS3/xbox for $40 to test out. works a lot better then the usb-dongles i also tested. [15:44] dr_willis: when will be released the 12.04 final version ? [15:44] PasNox: the 26th [15:44] PasNox, the # is the date. :) 2012 4th month... [15:44] dr_willis: but there is not the day ;) [15:44] wylde: ok, thanks [15:45] so i will wait and upgrade my system, hoping this will fiwx my problem because it's so boring to disconnect / reconnect the wifi many times / hours ;) [15:45] perfect! http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/how-to-move-unity-launcher-to-bottom-of.html [15:45] :D [15:46] PasNox: #kubuntu may also be helpful to you, they'll know the gui tools better in there as well. [15:46] Whats the difference between Debian Testing and Ubuntu Stable? other than name and cosmetics [15:47] does anyone have the issue that alt-tab crashes unity on 11.10? [15:47] wylde: already asked, still waiting for someones answer since 8h ... ;) [15:47] robertzaccour they're different distro's [15:47] !schedule [15:47] The Ubuntu Precise Pangolin release schedule can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [15:47] PasNox: alrighty [15:48] FATAL: Module cifs not found. <-- how do I fix this? [15:49] TimothyA: load cifs? [15:50] grimeton: how? [15:50] TimothyA: modprobe [15:50] TimothyA: sudo modprobe cifs [15:50] ... that's the error generated by modprobe [15:51] TimothyA: depending on your kernel it's [15:51] TimothyA: search for it: find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -iname \*cifs\* [15:51] no results [15:51] TimothyA: and when searching for smb? [15:52] same [15:52] nfs, too [15:52] TimothyA: but the cifs tools are installed? [15:52] yep [15:52] Right, nano says it's saving the file, but it isn't. The file remains unchanged. Any tips? [15:52] mount.cifs gives me output, if that's what you mean by installed [15:52] Shact use sudo if the file is outside /home [15:53] monkeydust; i'm trying to install sudo [15:53] TimothyA: yeah, but you also need to load the cifs.ko module [15:53] to do thsi i need nano to edit a file [15:53] TimothyA: it should be there [15:53] it's an OpenVZ VM, btw [15:53] use su [15:53] then edit it [15:53] because the distro can't recognise the flash disk that it just installed itself off. [15:53] Shact install sudo? [15:53] grimeton: I can't find it :/ [15:54] I can't install sudo until the damn thing downloads it, which it won't because it's insisting on using a CD [15:54] Shanct : use su ? [15:54] which a) I don't have b) wouldn't go in the laptop anyway. [15:54] Shact sudo should be there by default [15:54] I've tried su. It doesn't make any diffrence [15:54] ??? [15:54] /lib/modules/3.0.0-17-generic/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko [15:54] TimothyA: you got apt-file installed? [15:55] sudo is by default but maybe you are not in sudo group [15:55] TimothyA: then you can run apt-file search cifs.ko and get the package if it is not part of the base kernel image [15:55] bearnik; interesting, but doesn't help in the first stage which is to edit the sources.list file [15:55] This should not be hard [15:56] grimeton: it is [15:56] And the flash disk I installed off should be in that list, rather than some fictional CD [15:56] turns out the linux kernel the VM is running on is ancient :| [15:56] TimothyA: what is? the file in the base image of the kernel or apt-file installed? [15:57] apt-file search says it's supposed to be in an base image [15:57] Shanct : hmm what distro are u using ? [15:57] I'l just login as root. These good practice rules haven't been thought out [15:57] que tal amigos ...deseo aprender programacion en c conocen de algun manual?? que sea practico y entendible....gracias [15:57] So i amhaving an issue with thw iw3945 module [15:57] !es [15:57] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [15:57] great... so smb doesn't work, installing nfs nearly wrecked the system... [15:58] are there any other options for storing/retrieving files over a mounted remote-location storage? [15:58] how do it get the source for a driver [15:58] TimothyA: you have to run all those commands as root - just fyi [15:58] grimeton: I know [16:00] TimothyA: you must be doing something terribly wrong ... [16:00] Is there a way to download the source code for a specific driver module in 11.10 [16:00] grimeton: would having a 2.6.18 linux kernel be that "terribly wrong" bit? [16:00] O0ddity try apt-get source [16:00] ok [16:01] where would i find it once it's downloaded [16:01] O0ddity: in the directory you ran apt-get from [16:02] okay, so not a single way to mount a remote storage device in ubuntu without making use of nfs or smb/cifs? [16:02] Ok, I am trying to run openGL support for linux guest on vmware workstation ... I install vmware-tools and apply 3d support but seems like openGL doesn't work ... Host OS is W7 [16:02] how would i figure out the name of the package a driver came form? [16:02] anyone got a clue [16:03] TimothyA, no way without. why not update just to make sure? [16:03] TimothyA: well, there's also sshfs [16:03] tsimpson: ... *watches the bytes crawl by* [16:04] TimothyA that's *four* ways the channel adviced, nfs, smb, cifs and sshfs [16:04] i know the name od the module is iw3945 ir iwl_legacy, but how do i figure out what source code thats in [16:04] anyone know why if i plug my Amaze into my computer it will drain battery instead of charging? [16:04] Amaze? [16:05] MonkeyDust: ...I named nfs, smb and cifs... [16:05] TimothyA yes and tsimpson said sshfs [16:05] sshfs was kinda a last resort [16:05] I was hoping that *wouldn't* be the answer [16:08] O0ddity, it's in the kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy [16:08] ok [16:08] so i do haveto compile kernal :/ [16:08] are you trying to apply a patch? [16:10] ... [16:10] * TimothyA implodes [16:10] "Module fuse not found" [16:13] hey everyone is this a good place to ask for bashscripting help?

[16:36] oCean: im sorry for offending you [16:36] Fabius, assuming it is intel hda it could be an internal setting for the intel hda audio. http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug_Intel_HDA [16:36] firc, did it just start [16:36] dlentz: X? Yeah [16:36] no, i meant, did it work before? [16:36] dlentz: but I'm stuck with 1024x768 resolution [16:37] dlentz: no. I upgraded to 11.10 yesterday. I haad this problem even with 11.04 [16:37] I was stuck with 1024x768 [16:37] not sure what made it "silly" though [16:37] Fabius: see if this helps? http://askubuntu.com/questions/77888/microphone-problem-in-ubuntu-11-10 lots of different options [16:37] firc, pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:37] dlentz: and I checked the Xorg.0.log earlier too.

It doesn't even load intel [16:39] *line [16:39] dougl, SolarisBoy we try to keep the channel professional. /me messages are not contributing, just adding to the clutter [16:39] since i yet played with mixer config, no model parameter wasnt changed in settings, i should check for new version of alsa [16:39] oCean: i hear you bro [16:39] i'll do it now and see if something changes [16:40] lol [16:40] firc, it only loads vesa/fbdev for backup 9and it unloads them later in the log) [16:40] dlentz: oh [16:40] dlentz: so it IS using intel? [16:40] I'm trying desktopnova to change my wallpaper to use pictures in a folder. It says the daemon already is running, but my wallpaper doesn't change. [16:40] yes, since a bunch of lines begin with intel(0) and 3D is working [16:41] I suppose less clutter is best - you are right oCean. [16:41] dlentz: awesome. But I'm still stuck with 1024x786 [16:42] dlentz: i googled and tried to add modes using xrandr, but it fails saying BadMatch [16:42] firc, that seems to be what your screen is reporting, what resolution are you expecting? [16:43] dlentz: 1280x720 [16:43] can I not set a custom resolution? [16:44] did you try as here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions [16:44] SolarisBoy, so - your eyecandy does not work either? [16:44] dlentz: yes [16:44] hi all [16:45] dlentz: when I do xrandr --addmode it fails saying BadMatch [16:45] what kind of laptop is it?

[16:52] especially the videos from videolectures.net [16:53] su22, easiest way is to install firebug and save the video file from the firebug console [16:53] firebug?? A mozilla extension? [16:54] su22, yes [16:55] How to save the video file from firebug console escott? [16:56] su22, the network tab, and then reload the page. you can right click on the flv stream and save it from there [16:57] su22 this is why I have try : sudo open sources.list in the terminal , does my syntax is wrong ? === richard is now known as Guest74459 [16:58] jizozor, try gksudo gedit sources.list [16:58] ok [16:58] jizozor: It depends on the file type!! [16:58] hi everyone [16:58] can anyone tell me where i can download the source for taskset from ubuntu util-linux-2.20 so i can compile it manually? [16:59] jizozor for eg if you wanna open a text file you can try escott's suggestion or use sudo gedit [16:59] !gksudo | su22 [16:59] su22: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [16:59] escott I can't find the network tab [16:59] can you explain me more about gksudo ubottu [16:59] nice escott and su22 [17:00] ciao [17:00] !list [17:00] miki: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [17:00] su22, when you open firebug the tabs are in the top firebug bar they are Console HTMl CSS Script Dom and Net the last one is the one you want [17:01] su22, you should not use sudo with guis because sometimes a root application will take ownership of $HOME/.xauthority for the non-root user locking them out of their own gui [17:03] Does anyone know if there's a better video engine available for Ubuntu? VLC on my old laptop can handle 1080p MKV fine, but on Ubuntu it's choppy. I've tested this quite thoroughly and I've been told that Linux video simply isn't up to scratch. If that's true (and it seems to be), then surely there's something new in the works? Like back when ALSA was in testing. Thanks [17:04] Shact, it depends on your GPU [17:05] dlentz, that makes sense. It's just an old celeron with on board graphics, but video is still very good on Windows. Perhaps I need a different driver? [17:06] how do you set enviroment variables when compiling LDFLAGS === alien_ is now known as Guest97774 [17:06] when you say that vlc can handle 1080p mkv well, what OS/hardware is that on? [17:06] irong33k: LDFLAGS *is* an environment variable [17:06] that's on XP, but I don't like XP so am trying to get away from it [17:07] dlentz, oh and the hardware is... 1GHz Celeron. [17:08] Shact, that's the processor. what video card/GPU do you have? [17:08] how do i boot from initramfs? [17:08] Shact: For HD decompression hardware-assisted (GPU) acceleration is required. Use of that depends on the video driver being used. [17:08] I want to connect my NAS directly to my ethernet port, while I use wifi for internet. How should I configure dhcpd so that I can run a dhcp server on eth0 without messing with wlan1? [17:08] dlentz: normally i would check, but I'm not sure how to do that in linux. None to speak of. Intel something [17:08] sometimes input to eclipse editors is not possible after switching between virtual desktops [17:08] any ideas? [17:09] Newbuntu2: You could use dnsmasq bound to one interface/IP address [17:09] Shact: sudo lshw -C video OR lspci | grep -i vga [17:10] Shact: You can find out the hardware and driver like this. From a terminal do: glxinfo | egrep 'vendor|render|version' [17:10] Shact, intel probably has better Windows drivers for their older GPU's :( [17:11] ive been using ubuntu for a while now, just shut my machine off after not using it for a while, and now it boots into initramfs and cant get any further [17:11] can anyone help me diagnose the issue?

[17:13] streblo: no command found kde [17:13] streblo: Can you boot into a Previous Version from the GRUB boot menu? Hold down the Shift key as the PC finished the power-on-self-test (POST) and you should get the GRUB boot menu where you can choose to boot an earlier configuration [17:13] i dont care if i have to completely reformat the drive and start from scratch, i'd just like to be able to use the machine again [17:14] IntuitiveNipple: i'll try that right now [17:14] streblo: USB boot relies on the BIOS to know to try booting from the USB ports. I assume you have that selected, but the USB boot starts but fails? [17:15] IntuitiveNipple: i've tried telling the BIOS to boot using the usb stick, but it still drops me into initramfs [17:15] hi, i just set up an apt-cache (packet apt-cacher-ng) and i hopefully configured it correctly, but i don't exactly know if the computer is rly using the cache... i created the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy and entered the following: Acquire::http { Proxy "http://192.168.1.253:3142"; }; Acquire::https { Proxy "https://"; }; [17:15] is the computer using the cache for https:// now too, or not? [17:15] hmm, there's a videodev2.h but not a videodev.h [17:15] and is it using it at all?^^ [17:15] streblo: OK... but is it the initramfs of the USB device, or is it still booting from the hard disk? Can you watch the activity light of the hard disk during boot to determine which device it is booting from? [17:16] greenit: I'd say yes. I use that for my network. [17:16] IntuitiveNipple, thx :) [17:16] IntuitiveNipple: no, you're right, i was being an idiot. i'm now at the grub menu for the usb device [17:17] greenit: the way to find out is to stop the apt-cacher-ng service on the other PC and see if your clients fail to do an apt-get update. If they fail, they are using the local proxy. [17:17] i'm going to try booting in recovery mode [17:17] IntuitiveNipple, good idea, thx^^ [17:17] streblo: good luck! I know how hard solving boot issues is! [17:18] streblo: be aware that Recovery Mode of the same kernel version will use the same initramdisk as the normal mode. You usually need to use an earlier kernel version which has it's own initramdisk [17:18] Am I in the right place here guys? http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html [17:18] IntuitiveNipple: i'm going to try an earlier version [17:19] IntuitiveNipple: awesome, looks like its booting from the usb stick, thanks for the help [17:19] IntuitiveNipple, hm... the computer fetched only the https:// repos now, so it is not using the proxy :S [17:20] streblo: If you can boot to a previous version on the affected hard disk, you could then re-generate the initramdisk image [17:21] streblo: (for the affected kernel version) which would allow you to get back to normal [17:21] what's the best way to stream audio (live from line in or mic jack) ove a lan from Ubuntu? [17:22] can someone help me troubleshoot video? while booting i get video input out of range from my monitor until X shows up. this makes recovery mode unusable. [17:22] craigbass1976: You can use PulseAudio's streaming multicast function [17:23] tanath: the kernel option nomodeset is your friend. Try this forums thread for more explanation: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [17:23] IntuitiveNipple, that's in the recovery mode parameters [17:24] tanath: and you still lose it?

But since there are so many bugs it requires some strict discipline to not get lost [17:32] IntuitiveNipple, seems the ONLY module i have blacklisted on my system is 'lp' [17:32] IntuitiveNipple, unless there's somewhere to look other than /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [17:32] tanath: /etc/modprobe.d/* [17:33] IntuitiveNipple, ok, yeah. there's more than i thought [17:33] Is there a way to, without opening the tower, (say, a command) to find out what mother board I have? [17:34] i guess i won't get my amsn issue fixed cuz i don't want to have to spend several hours looking for an answer [17:34] Im trying to set up a dhcpd server, I installed dhcp3-server, but there is no /etc/init.d/dhcpd file what's going on? how do I fixit? === grindaizer is now known as bendaizer [17:34] tanath: Usually its in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf but best to grep all of them for mentions [17:34] IntuitiveNipple, http://pastebin.com/SJPL2qpE [17:34] ki7rw: What question about amsn? [17:34] sburwood1: try dmidecode or lshw [17:35] why won't it use videodev2.h instead of videodev.h? [17:35] tanath: Looks like you're OK for uvesafb [17:35] how can i tell my computer to use the server with apt-cacher-ng installed for https:// - repos? [17:35] apt-file can't find a package with videodev.h [17:36] !find videodev.h [17:36] File videodev.h found in libv4l-dev, linux-doc [17:37] ki7rw: ^ [17:38] this is what i get when using apt-file search: libv4l-dev: /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h [17:38] that's not the same as videodev.h [17:38] locate videodev.h produces no output [17:39] I'm back boys & girls! [17:39] (other than libv4l1-videodev.h) [17:40] how can i tell my computer to use the server with apt-cacher-ng installed for https:// - repos? [17:40] No takers for the Intel video drivers issue?

[17:44] skulltip: 4 imo join #ubuntu+1 [17:44] 12.04 is due out on Thursday [17:44] Hi guys! Anyone know how to reduce the delay verification e-mail (pop) the evolution mail client for less than 1 minute (60 seconds)? === krababbel is now known as tetreb [17:47] hey guys im looking for help! i have an lubuntu machine and a N300 Belkin wireless stick.. And i now use ndiswrapper for my connection but everytime i reboot.. the driver fails and he doesnt detect the stick and i cant do anything but reinstall the driver and then it works again gently.. anyone got an idea to make this go smoothly'er? [17:47] suse has a python wrapper util called cset, what is recommended for cpuset manipulation on ubuntu?

And i now use ndiswrapper for my connection but everytime i reboot.. the driver fails and he doesnt detect the stick and i cant do anything but reinstall the driver and then it works again gently.. anyone got an idea to make this go smoothly'er? [17:49] Defusal: cpufrequtils [17:49] IntuitiveNipple, that worked for me, thanks [17:49] IntuitiveNipple, the 'video=uvesafb:mode_option='1024x768-32',mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap' [17:49] tanath: Glad it was that simple :) [17:50] indeed [17:50] iceroot, that is for cpu frequency not affinity [17:50] IntuitiveNipple, don't suppose you can help me troubleshoot why ubuntu hangs on reboot now? [17:50] Defusal: ok [17:51] jansen: have you read dmesg already to get a clue what might be the problem? [17:51] tanath: Feed me more details, I'll consult my oracle :p [17:51] IntuitiveNipple, when i reboot it shuts down most things, but never completes [17:51] IntuitiveNipple, started recently (only just noticed it) [17:52] IntuitiveNipple, i see nothing in logs, but i may be missing it [17:52] stefg, i dont have a clue what i should do so no. [17:52] tanath: I have the same thing recently... very annoying. Are you using Oneiric? [17:53] IntuitiveNipple, 12.04 now === null is now known as Guest84743 [17:53] tanath: On the close-down terminal I saw "Closing remaining processes [Fail]" but could never figure out which process(es) ! [17:53] tanath: 12.04 is not supported here, /join #ubuntu+1 [17:53] IntuitiveNipple, only failure i noticed is dnsmasq because it can't bind to port 53 [17:53] tanath: I upgraded to 12.04 in-place and that issue has now gone away so I'm not sure how to track it. [17:54] oCean, they weren't helpful [17:54] tanath: that does not make it ontopic here, please don't continue [17:54] tanath: does not matter, this channel is not for 12.04 [17:54] Hi guys! Anyone know how to reduce the delay verification e-mail (pop) the evolution mail client for less than 1 minute (60 seconds)? [17:54] jansen: open a terminal and type 'dmesg' .you'll get a log of what's happening during boot. 'dmesg | grep wlan' will filter it for events with wlan [17:54] oCean: The bug affects Oneiric [17:54] oCean, iceroot, if i'm actually getting support for it in here, then why say it's not supported here? maybe not officially, but so what? [17:55] IntuitiveNipple: that still does not make 12.04 discussion or support on topic === tetreb is now known as krababbel [17:55] tanath: officially I am telling you to drop the discussion [17:55] tanath: because 12.04 is not stable and still has bugs, so we dont support it here [17:55] oCean: I'm discussing the Oneiric bug [17:55] iceroot, not asking you to [17:55] oCean, to what purpose? [17:55] tanath: this channel is not for 12.04 discussions, thank you [17:56] If I manually create my partitions during installation, and if I create a separate /boot partition, do I set the bootable flag on it? Do I set the bootable flag on the BIOS boot partition? On both, either/ or? [17:56] tanath: I'm not going to argue channel rules with you here, /join #ubuntu-ops for that. [17:56] oCean, wasn't asking you to argue them... yet. [17:56] tanath: fine, last call. Drop it [17:56] tanath: On Oneiric I found that I could leave the laptop shutting down at midnight and it'd still be stuck at 0700 [17:57] oCean, have you seen any further discussion about it? why won't you answer my question? [17:57] tanath, you choose to use an unreleased distribution, you choose not to get the support for released ones [17:57] LjL, no, i choose not to get official support here. there's a difference [17:58] ClientAlive, bootable flag doesn't matter in most cases [17:58] ClientAlive, but it would go on the /boot partition [17:58] jansen: ok, so it's working atm... may i suggest to use pastebin, and keep the discussion in the channel so other users can follow as well? [17:58] LjL, wait, you're saying installing an unreleased distro means i don't get support for released ones?? [17:58] ok [17:58] tanath: Long as you're using Precise you don't get support, that's channel policy. Even if the bug is present at past versions, fixes that work for Oneiric might fail on Precise and vice versa. [17:59] s/Precise/any unreleased Ubuntu version/gi; [17:59] jansen: the interesting thing would be to do that when the adapter fails. it might complain about missing firmware or soem other error that could give you an idea [18:00] escott: what I'm aiming for is seaparate bios partition, separate /boot partition, then the rest of the system installed on lvm on raid. So, as far as the partitions/ setup stage of the install goes, I shouldn't worry about setting the boot flag anywhere? For my situation it would go on /boot? What I mean is: my specific goal does not change that? [18:00] ClientAlive, bios partition? [18:01] well, mbr/ whatever (the 1 - 2 mb area for the boot loader) [18:01] ClientAlive: the msdos partition type's bootable flag is a Microsoft legacy thing - basically ignored nowadays [18:01] alguien que hable español?? [18:02] ahh! I see!! This is gpt anyhow... [18:02] !es | cesar1 [18:02] cesar1: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [18:02] ClientAlive, are you talking about the grub_bios partition type for bios boots of gpt disks? [18:02] ClientAlive: and the mbr doesn't have a partition the mbr /holds/ the partition table so it's metadata *before* any partition [18:03] escott: exactly => uefi has drug my through hell for the last time. I'm going for a bios bootable install (though it literally makes me sick to do so) [18:04] ClientAlive, in that case the bootable flag will certainly not matter but it would go on the /boot partition in any case. keep in mind you cannot dual boot windows of any form in that configuration [18:04] i'm running a ubuntu server, for some reason there is multiple instances of sshd running, 3 instances to be exact, is this normal? === me is now known as Guest43550 [18:04] right on. And, that's fine. Ev will be a virtual guest on top of this host anyhow [18:05] quit [18:06] how do i find out which container format a bunch for extensionless files are in? id just like to know [18:06] bsmith093, use the file utility [18:07] escott how [18:07] bsmith093, file filename [18:07] I've got a phone plugged into the mic jack. The speaker volume slider has no effect on the sound coming out of my computer at all; that can only be adjusted with the mic slider. Shouldn't I be able to silence my laptop by pulling down all of the speaker output faders? [18:07] one thing that doesn't make sense to me is the partitioner lists my entire disk as 3.0 TB (which is correct) then I use up just over 500 MB with /boot and "biosgrub" and it still lists the free space as 3.0 TB. Now, even if this is fine as far as what is actually created, I have two other disks I need to match the size of that last partition (and it is certainly less than the size of the entire disk). How am I expected to do that when I g [18:07] et those kind of readings? [18:08] jockey-gtk didnt work in 11.10 netinstall. can i install ati drivers by simply sudo apt-get install fglrx? [18:08] ClientAlive, 500MB is ~0.5GB ~0.0005 TB [18:08] i treid jockey-gtk in openbox and TWM, usually it wirks for me(11.04) [18:09] ClientAlive: Maybe it's the rounding down of the human-readable values? 500MB is 0.0005 of a TB [18:09] hello friends [18:09] ClientAlive, you should be able to find the size in kb or sectors somewhere. worst case drop to parted on the cli [18:10] ClientAlive: Feel free to do advanced manual partitioning before installation by terminal and cfdisk :-) [18:10] I'm looking for a messagery program which allows to share pics in the chat windows (in msn). Any ideas please? [18:10] right on [18:10] what is the prefered command line technique for installing fglrx? should i install it like i do in debian? [18:10] sppose that's what I'll have to do [18:11] haylo, sudo apt-get install fglrx [18:11] nice , thats what i was thinking. thanks escott ! :) [18:11] How should I create vlan interfaces? Why do I need the raw-device line in the interfaces file? I created a working interface using the ip command but I'm not sure how to make it permanent. [18:11] ClientAlive: and you could 'clone' partition layouts from disk to disk with sfdisk .... essential when you do soft raid setups [18:11] escott, so i never really needed kockey-gtk for much any way if all the drivers are auto installed by name? [18:12] jockey* [18:12] haylo, there is also a jockey-cli [18:12] oh ok cool [18:12] tnks [18:12] ClientAlive: http://www.ducea.com/2006/10/09/partition-table-backup/ [18:12] haylo, jockey does some testing to determine what package is appropriate but if you already know the name of the package you dont need it [18:13] stefg: thx man [18:15] I started with ubuntu 10.04 and upgraded to 11.10, i don't see a php5-fpm package available in aptitude and i feel like there should be, any reason why?

For example I am on a Skype video call. If I want to play something in VLC or watch something on youtube, I will have to quit skype call. Or else I get no audio from other applications [18:19] escott: thanks, it's in there three times, can i delete the second two? [18:19] IamKaiser, sounds like you dont have pulseaudio installed or running [18:19] escott: neermind just raelised it's oneiric, oneiric-updates and oneiric-security [18:19] do i update them alll? [18:19] stan_man_can, there is no oneiric-security universe as the security team DOES NOT COVER packages in universe [18:20] I do not think I do escott. Shall have a look at that. Trying out ubuntu so learning [18:20] stan_man_can, so you would have up to 4 universe lines for the combinations of deb/deb-src and oneiric/oneiric-updates [18:20] escott: https://gist.github.com/2465932 [18:21] stan_man_can, yep [18:21] i take it i need to run an apt-get update after and then i can continue?

Kind of running a trial for a month.

If I want to have my first partition on the second disk start where my second partition ended on my first disk, and the amount of space used up in the first two partitions on the first disk is 502M, Then would I need to enter "+502M" for the "First sector" when creating the first partition on the second drive? [18:46] Hello all [18:47] confusing to talk about, I know, but how else do I describe it? [18:47] Anyone know how to get windows sound drivers to work ? [18:47] biobunsai: Windows sound drivers? [18:47] I guess I wonder if gdisk automatically aligns everything on the second disk with where stuff left off on the first on - or if you have to specify it [18:47] biobunsai: Are you serious? [18:48] Yes, Bobo. I can't find my sound drivers anywhere for Linux, I can only find windows [18:48] biobunsai: Sound drivers are built into the kernel. In fact most drivers are the linux kernel is different then the nt kernel [18:49] Sigh.. great.. so no sound for me... [18:49] Ok. I wanna use by flash drive to test live distros. I'm on 10.04. What should I format my drive too and how come when I remove, then plug the drive back in. It doesn't offer me a 'live trial' [18:50] celltech did you unmount and remount? [18:50] Technically yes [18:50] All it does is opens the folder to see the files [18:51] CellTech: just restart and boot from it... i don't see the problem... [18:51] I'm trying to setup my bluetooth remote. http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/bdremote8bc0cc2ejpg.jpg these buttons seem to do nothing for me. what now? xubuntu 11.10 [18:51] Well that's the thing I'm trying to avoid constant restarts. I don't mind installing the iso to the drive then just unmount and remount. [18:51] biobunsai: Did you check alsamixer? [18:51] What should I always format my drive too? [18:52] CellTech: how do you expect to trial the distros natively on your own hardware without restarting? [18:52] BoBo no i didn't I'll give that a crack. i been playing with the systems setting and system check [18:52] Cant a thumbdrive be set to autoplay so it runs programs? [18:52] CellTech: yeah but you can't run an OS inside an OS without using virtualisation... === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby === Dorito is now known as Guest6093 [18:53] Ok. So now for that. I'll restart. What should I format the thing for Fat, ext4,,, [18:53] CellTech: you can get programs to make the flash drive your bootable distro of choice [18:53] CellTech: look up "unetbootin" [18:53] I have UNetBootin. But it makes me format the drive [18:53] FAT then [18:53] What do I format too FAT, or ext4. Whats the best [18:54] CellTech: Set the PC to boot from USB devices, and ensure the Flash drive has a bootable Ubuntu image on it. No need to do anything to the PC's hard disk [18:55] ooooowww [18:55] nice [18:55] Ok. I'm gonna go slow. I insert the flash drive. I open disk utility, I unmount then format with "don't partition" then I go to "partition./format" Normally I pick FAT. Then I open uNetBootin and have the iso installed to the drive. I then remove said drive, shut down, insert the drive, turn computer back on. Bios is set to boot from usb 1st. However. Sometimes it fails to do so. What should I "partition/format" my thumbdrive too? [18:56] CellTech: Just dd the image onto your USB stick if it's a Linux. [18:57] theadmin: I wish it was that easy. Disk utility usually requires a partition before I remount [18:57] CellTech: No, uh: sudo dd if=your_linux_image.iso of=/dev/sdz [18:57] wish I was over there for that [18:57] but it would cost too much cash :) [18:57] CellTech: Wherein "sdz" is your usb stick. Note it's "sdz", not "sdz1" or somesuch. === yashshah_ is now known as stephan [18:58] lol [18:58] theadmin: correct. that's how it shows in unetbootin [18:59] CellTech: I had awful experiences with unetbootin myself -- almost always failed on me, so I don't use it nor recommend anyone to. [18:59] theadmin: What do you use? I'll try another no problem [18:59] CellTech: Well as I said, from Linux I use dd, from Windows I use LiLi [18:59] CellTech: If you have unetbootin, then you don't need to worry. Just insert your usb stick, select ISO, select usb, click OK. Thats all.. [19:00] CellTech: If this doesn't work, Just run dd if= [19:00] Ok thank you. I'm gonna go try it now [19:00] Is it possible to gzip a directory but exlude one directory within it? [19:00] *exclude [19:01] haux: It's not possible to gzip a directory, gzip compresses single files. [19:01] is it possible to install ubuntu from the ISO file, without booting from it? [19:01] CellTech: If this doesn't work, Just run dd if="PATH TO YOUR ISO" of="DEVICE LOC" bs=8M [19:01] sure [19:01] theadmin, I suppose I mean using the tar command with the gzip flag [19:01] haux: If you mean tar, then sure -- tar czf my.tar.gz --exclude=yourdirectory/something yourdirectory [19:01] theadmin, thank you [19:01] haux: If you use tar use the option --exclude= [19:04] Does any one of you think I could use the beta 2 of Precise and just update when the final is out without having to re-install? === babilen_ is now known as babilen [19:05] hi, i want to automatically mount a partition (/dev/sdb5) with read/write/execute-rights for me.. how can i do this? i tried to enter the partition in the fstab, but it mounted with root-rights -.- [19:05] greenit: what filesystem?

(Question level/MEGA N00B) [19:13] mrmango, i was not aware that ubuntu server had disadvantages compared to debian [19:13] what! [19:13] how big is that text [19:13] but it is too late now, so i have to find a way to get this working [19:13] leah: sudo install -m 644 your_directory/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/TTF/ [19:14] Hi guys. I ran a program that opened a listening socket on port 1717 on my pc, however when that program closed the cleanup was not done and I am unable to run it again. [19:14] Is there a way to manually do the cleanup? [19:14] can some one recommend me a replacement for adobe firework? [19:14] Defusal, well for some its fine, but I'd use debian in a VM or dedi where possible. [19:14] So if ALSA don't work for my sound they are on board sound by the way, what should I do? [19:14] mrmango, i won't make the mistake again [19:14] but yeah, if only i knew this before [19:14] what the hell did they do with bootcpuset.conf(5), bootcpuset(8) [19:14] Defusal, ;) live and learn [19:14] :( [19:15] Defusal, you might see if they are available under a PPA or something. I would assume other would have noticed. [19:15] any one knows a good svn gui tool for Ubuntu? [19:15] i have been searching for ages [19:15] doubleAa batteries gives them 100 hours!

[19:16] Defusal, bankruptcy? Because of the wrong distro? [19:17] theadmin, I <3 u [19:17] mrmango, because of a never ending supply of edge case issues causing constant delays on an already terribly late platform launch [19:17] Uh, that's a bit extreme :/ [19:17] Defusal: Would "taskset" be what you need?

[19:17] IntuitiveNipple, no [19:17] i need bootcpuset [19:18] i should be able to do all the rest of the cpuset stuff manually with /proc [19:18] Defusal: Right. No supporting package for it with utils in Oneiric, I'm afraid [19:20] does everything in all my sources show up in ubuntu software center? [19:22] Defusal: how about the package numactl ?

I have bought and returned two atheros based ones in the last 2 days because signal strength was like 2 bars from 3 feet away.. I think its because of the 3 antennas? [19:48] i bet anything he just hit that and won't know how to come back [19:48] dariebi_: but ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't remove it.... it does give you only a shell. [19:48] ( using the card in AP mode ) [19:48] oh hey thank you very much, thats perfect! [19:50] Looking recommendations for best way to store meta data with arbitrary files. I have a genealogy project with a number of jpg scans, txt files, from various sources. that I want to tag. For example smith-1940-census.jpg I'd like to tag with "SMITH surname", "Fred Smith", "Sally Jones", New York, Townname, From Ancestry.com on 1-apr-2012. Ideas? [19:51] On a completely different topic, any pointer to good info on getting a DisplayLink USB video adapter to work with Orneric or Precise? [19:52] does anyone have a resource for resizing an lvm2 volume group? Not a logical volume, a volume group. [19:52] MarcN: what kind of project? if it's web, i'd use php [19:53] hi all! i'm using natty and experiencing a weird audio problem. There is no system sound at all and the "test sound" is silent too. but if i play movies with Totem everything works. alsamixer works too. [19:54] nannes, personal project. I'd kinda like something like f-spot does with RAW files. Creates a 'sidecar' file and not touch the original. So smith-1940.jpg file would have its meta tags stored in smtih-1940.jpg.xml (or whatever). [19:55] nannes, Not sharing data, just organizing it for my purposes. Not looking for a genealogy tool (I already use lifelines) [19:55] MarcN: yeah, personal, that's ok :D.... i meant web-based data organizing or based on DE? [19:55] web one is simpler [19:56] *i meant data organizing "web-based" or "based on DE"? [19:56] sorry for my english [19:57] MarcN: it could be done even with shell script [19:57] nannes, I'd prefer non-web since I expect this project to last for decades more. Picking php, etc and it adds too many deps. Prefer filesystem + tool to add metadata + simple db (sqlite) [19:57] nannes, it may not exist of course. [19:58] Anyone know if there are any razer drivers? [19:59] or atleast, any other way too set sensitivity and dpi [19:59] CampinSam, the motorola razer phone? It should just show up as a USB disk.

[20:13] amandasue75, are you looking for x0vncserver? [20:13] amandasue75: ssh -XC won't show you what's currently on the screen, FYI [20:14] hi goodmornin [20:14] amandasue75: it *does* let you start graphical programs that are run from the server [20:14] amandasue75: Sorry the exact name is Remote Desktop Viewer [20:15] RyoRonin, MarcN yeats I'm ssh-ing in enough to fire up familiar looking GUIs. x11vnc is what I thought I'd be after. I've tried vino with remote desktop viewer, and can't figure out why THAT does't work. Is there a log file on either end that would help? [20:15] i just got this weird things goin on on my ubuntu 10.04 it's like my mouse stop functioning the left click but it still moves but can't click anythin and end me up restarting.....what seems to be the problem? [20:16] coolroot, is there a new cat in the house? Have you tried a different mouse or usb port? [20:17] amandasue75, personally i think you should be able to everything via ssh. Or learn to. Does the remote server have a grpahics desktop running? If running gnome, vino may be already running. You can connect from your desktop using 'vncviewer remote-system.com'. [20:17] hello [20:17] MarcN, the remote server is my laptop downstairs. [20:18] amandasue75, vnc4server may be of interest. It running a vnc server with full gnome/kde in a 'virtual' way -- not tied at all to what is on the monitor. connect from your local system via vncviewer. [20:18] hahaha i just get rid of the cat tho....hmmm yeah new mouse new port! :) just gettin weird creepy makes me think that ghost do exist lmao [20:18] MarcN, I'm trying to mess with volume and media, and it would just be easier with VNC rather than dorking with alsa and cli players. I'm trying to actually stream what's coming in the mic jack to the network. That part's done, but now I'm tinkering [20:19] Hello. I currently want to resize the partitions on my laptop, Windows requires more space. Here is a screenshot of my laptop drive in gparted: http://i.imgur.com/uh83U.png . Is there an easy way to shrink sda6 and/or sda7 and to enlarge sda3? I know that in priciple, gparted can resize partitions and I already have the gparted live CD. But I have doubts as sda6 and sda7 are sub-partitions of sda4, it seems...? [20:19] coolroot, you have ps2 ports, or usb? [20:19] usb port [20:19] amandasue75, I still use only to connect to systems within my house! From your local system, try vncviewer your-laptop.local (or whaever). You may need to first walk to the laptop and startup or reconfiure vino to allow you remote access -- think the default is 'click yes to allow someone to access this lapto[p'. And set a password. [20:20] amandasue75, from then on, vncviewer your-laptop.local (or ip address). there are other vncviewers, some command line (rdesktop -- my fav since it allows remote fileshare too) or 'Remote Desktop Viewer' or remmina or others. [20:21] amandasue75, remember when using vino the laptop monitor will light up as if you were there. Anyone near it will be able to watch and type/mouse. [20:22] MarcN, that's what I was doing with ssh -XC, and I've just realized that I had "confirm every user" checked (Doh!) Now, in Remote Desktop Viewer, which protocol am I aiming for? [20:23] MarcN, and do I have to log out/in again on the server for new settings to take effect? [20:24] amandasue75, You want to see/interact with the laptop? Then use VNC. Another approach is to 'ssh -XC ' to the laptop and run a new program, say 'f-spot' or 'firefox' and the display will be sent back to the linux system you are sitting in front of. Different approachs. [20:24] Hi, I need to know what changed on a block device within a given time. The list of block-IDs would be great, but any information could help. Is there anything to manage that? I've read about analyzing mdraid and drbd. But that's not the primary usecase of these things. Any tipps? [20:24] MarcN, right, I didn't want the one at a time ssh route. [20:24] Which protocol is vino running on , RDP? [20:25] amandasue75, then VNC is probably want you want. Just remember to configure vino on the laptop for 1) a password 2) 'always allow remote connections'. Vino is VNC. RDP is a windows protocol. [20:25] amandasue75: vnc if I remember correctly [20:26] amandasue75: if you want rdp: rdesktop is the way to go [20:26] guntbert, safe to assume that most servers/viewers that start with V are VNC based. :-) [20:26] could mean Voltron... [20:26] MarcN: yes, I wasn't sure about a plugin though... [20:27] guntbert, :-) [20:27] amandasue75, I'm not familiar with the Voltron protocol :-p [20:27] MarcN: Voltron cartoon robot [20:28] Sup niggas [20:28] MarcN: sorry missed the :-P [20:28] guys how do i create a "second" loopack device so i can add several ips for my LXC containers?

Already tried the obvious (avidemus wont decode the video, mencoder just freezes, and ffmpeg can't seem to produce an output file with audio less than 2 hours out of sync) [21:00] hello .. can someone tell me why it is impossible to logon to ubuntu one using firefox? [21:01] CoJaBo: rm is proprietay format from RealMedia [21:01] CrazyGangster: beep? You mean the speaker beep? [21:01] freedomrun: I cannot confirm your problem. [21:01] nannes: Yeh, hence the reason I want to transcode it out of that format :P [21:02] asd [21:02] freedomrun: Some add-ons might cause that, like no-script or so. [21:02] minimec: I`ve disabled them all ..hmm [21:03] CoJaBo: for the reason I wrote, they don't publish any source for decode of his formats.... anyway, a simple google search found out a program... just do it! [21:03] CoJaBo: mencoder yourfile.rm -o yourfile.avi -ovc x264 -oac mp3lame [21:03] nannes: What program? All I'm finding is menncoder and ffmpeg :/ [21:03] CoJaBo: read above, I gave you oneliner [21:04] syslq: As stated in the first line, that freezes (in this case, on frame #6) [21:05] CoJaBo: ffmpeg then [21:05] CoJaBo: https://www.google.com/search?q=rm+real+media+linux [21:05] CoJaBo: ffmpeg -i REAL_FILE -vcodec mpeg4 -sameq -acodec aac -ab ABITRATE EXPORTED_FILE.mp4 [21:05] * LjL randomly ponders how sometimes if a person can't help another person, maybe they shouldn't try [21:05] nannes: quite obviously he's already researched it. no use giving him a google search like that. [21:05] syslq: As, again, stated, ffmpeg completes, but the audio is literally 2 hours out of sync by the end. I said, I already tried the obvious (i.e., what Google turns up). [21:06] CoJaBo: you can upload the file and I'll transcode it for you if you wish === default133512872 is now known as LOLILOL [21:06] Hey !

[21:07] when will ubuntu 12.04 be out? [21:07] hello === wereHams1er is now known as wereHamster [21:07] CoJaBo: ok, you could try using vlc to transcode === wereHamster is now known as wereHamste === wereHamste is now known as wereHamster [21:08] oh..transcode..i remember i had been using it for long time.. is the project still alive? [21:08] minimec: same with chromium [21:08] CoJaBo: but I'm unsure if vlc can play rm, I guess it can, it's under media - convert/save option [21:08] hm.. I've had trouble with that before tho, not to mention it takes forever.. Worth a try i guess lol [21:08] yep === LOLILOL is now known as TRUCMUCHMACHIN [21:08] .. [21:08] l_r: 26th April [21:08] CoJaBo: in what format did you encode it in? [21:08] syslq: yes the system beep [21:09] *speaker beep [21:09] syslq: I have no idea what software created it; the codec info says RV30 [21:09] hola [21:10] CrazyGangster: modprobe -r pcspkr [21:10] there is a way to no redirect the beep [21:10] yeah... sshfs is too slow for me [21:10] CoJaBo: that's real media, but what is your destination codec? I ask since you could try reindexing it if it's mpeg [21:10] rsync - 150mbit [21:10] sshfs - 10mbit [21:11] k but now i cant hear nothing... [21:11] syslq: It defaulted to xvid, ffmpeg seemed to ignore my specification to use h264 [21:11] CrazyGangster: you cant hear nothing from system speaker, that should be all === me is now known as Guest88721 [21:13] CoJaBo: try encoding to mpg2 [21:13] hey guys. for some reason i can't mount the bootable USB drives i create using the guide on the download page (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download) [21:13] i'm on a mac (10.7.3) [21:13] CoJaBo: destination file will be a bit larger but you can work from there on witout any significant quality loss and with normal codec, which rm is not [21:13] but i want to hear the beep in the speaker and only listen music on my headphones, thats possible? [21:14] CrazyGangster: no [21:14] omg [21:14] syslq: I think the problem is a, its getting the wrong framerate and b, its losing some frames without compensating for them.. so its probably the decoder not encoder :/ [21:15] i can't mount the .iso files (nor the .img i create using the guide) either [21:15] CoJaBo: speaking from experience I'd try encoding to mpeg2 progressive via VLC, that usually fixes such crap for me [21:16] hi [21:17] in weechat is there a way to set text align for the nicklist and status bar? [21:17] is ffado died? [21:18] I want my weechat nicklist to be aligned right and not left [21:19] freedomrun: Sorry. Didn't see you rpost. I would go in this direction.

As far as I can tell I'm still signed in and I can change my status using that "envelope" menu at the top...but can't do anything with empathy itself [21:37] Ubuntu 11.10 is not booting on my laptop and i can only these:* Starting anac(h)ronistic cron [OK] * Stopping save kernel messages [OK] * Starting regular background program processing daemon [OK] * Starting deferred execution scheduler [OK] * Stopping anac(h)ronistic cron [21:37] rodayo, open empathy in terminal, will tell you the error.

[21:37] "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" [21:38] not very verbose =P [21:38] I need to place the Ubuntu installer on the partition of a hard disk that's attached via an external USB chassis. I'm running Windows. When I try installing it using the Linux Live USB Creator, I get a kernel panic on boot [21:38] Can anyone suggest a means of doing this? [21:39] Emery, any ideas? [21:39] rodayo, sec [21:39] is anyone else noticing 11.10 freezing up on a dell inspiron 1545? (32 bit) i have the following message repeating every couple seconds in dmesg: [ 1004.851806] ata1.00: irq_stat 0x40000008 [21:40] [ 1004.854464] ata1.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED [21:40] [ 1004.857049] ata1.00: cmd 60/08:00:68:8e:82/00:00:03:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in [21:40] [ 1004.857050] res 41/40:08:68:8e:82/00:00:03:00:00/00 Emask 0x409 (media error) [21:40] [ 1004.862298] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [21:40] charlesr_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[21:40] 32-bit of 11.10 [21:40] rodayo, can't seem to find a fix, is there an update for it ? [21:40] Maybe try removing it and re-installing ? [21:40] Emery, kk i'll try that [21:41] yoophglup, The kernel panic is showing on boot, as it's attempting to mount the root filesystem [21:41] This is precise btw [21:41] I'm re-installing the installer on the disk, unsetting the "hide created files on key" setting that LiLi has for default [21:41] rodayo, It's not full release yet. expect bugs. [21:41] I am running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS I used to run skype 64 but after the crash about 6wks ago, I have not installed Skype when I try now I only see the 32 bit version??? [21:41] Although I'm using it now, and it's fine. [21:42] Hi everyone [21:42] What is the exact error from the Kernal panic? [21:42] Emery, I actually had this problem with oneiric too...might be something sepcific to my laptop [21:42] maheanuu, Skype for Linux is buggy anyway. Try removing skype and re-installing (fixed it for me) [21:42] rodayo, I doubt that, will be down to Ubuntu., [21:42] yoophglup, Booting it again now, and I'll be able to tell you in a moment if I encounter it again [21:43] LZMA data is corrupt [21:43] Wow it is 81 degrees here in Spring. That is freaking hot for Spring. o.O [21:43] VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block(8,1) [21:43] syslq: ended up trying mjpeg, which seems to be working.. no matter what i try tho, I get no audio in the resulting file :/ [21:43] Emery,t hat seems to have fixed it..the window has stayed open but is frozen =P [21:43] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) [21:43] Emery, It ran beautifully for me before, and after having a hdd and cd rom failure and loosing everything on the machine I finally got it up running again and I only install Skype, I am allergic to Windoze [21:43] Wow it is 81 degrees and it is only 2:43PM that is freaking hot for Spring. [21:44] try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then reboot [21:44] And omg is that a home made Pinball in Bens stream. o.O [21:44] maheanuu, w0rd. I've had trouble with Skype in the past. Sometimes it decides not to work. [21:44] Ack keep doing wrong window [21:44] rodayo, try "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" then reboot [21:45] Emery, what's dist-upgrade do? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [21:45] Does --exclude= for tar accept quotes? such as --exclude="path/to/porn" [21:45] will install newest packages etc. [21:45] Hi, anyway to remote ubuntu 10.10 to 10.04? [21:45] maybe an upgrade for empathy also. if ubuntu has a bug fix for it [21:46] Daghdha, SSH ? [21:46] demote [21:46] Hi, anyway to demote ubuntu 10.10 to 10.04? [21:46] emery, i'll try it later. don't feel like rebooting right now =P thanks for the help anyway =) [21:46] typo, sorry [21:46] rodayo, np bro [21:46] FrozenFire: "LZMA data is corrupt" means the compressed image of the kernel and/or the initial RAMdisk is either bad on disk, or being corrupted on the wire as it is read [21:46] Daghdha, You can't. [21:46] You are getting this error when booting the Live CD ? [21:46] hell and damnation. :( [21:46] Daghdha, New kernel / software etc with upgrade [21:47] So downgrading is pretty ... annoying. [21:47] IntuitiveNipple, Hence my question. This is a moments-old copy of the installer to a freshly-formatted FAT32 partition by the LiLi installer [21:47] FrozenFire: Also, it could be an in-memory problem due to bad/failing RAM modules... have you recently adjusted the motherboard in any way physically? === PinballReviewer is now known as PBReviewer_Home [21:47] 10.10 support stopped [21:47] Will repositories remain online for it though? [21:47] IntuitiveNipple, Nope. System should work fine [21:48] Daghdha, I imagine so .. Why not upgrade ? 12.04 LTS is out in a few days [21:48] It works [21:48] FrozenFire: Is the system booting from the USB-connected hard disk ? Or are you moving the hard disk to be directly connected via PATA/SATA ? [21:48] Daghdha: it is awesome. [21:48] if it ain'tbroke (i know you types can't understand that but hey) [21:48] IntuitiveNipple, Directly via SATA [21:48] anmar: It's just my NAS [21:48] Granted, that could be the issue [21:48] But I'm unsure how to resolve that, in that case [21:49] I'm trying to copy the ISO files directly using xcopy [21:49] And will try installing GRUB manually [21:49] But that's messy, imo [21:49] FrozenFire: No that should be fine. My reason for asking is that the bootloader reading from USB could be problematic [21:49] FrozenFire, Use a live cd .. chroot copy the contents over ? [21:49] Emery, I'm avoiding using optical media [21:49] Hmmm [21:49] ok as always, thanks for feedback. Have a good day! [21:50] FrozenFire, SSH ? ... pain in the ass. [21:50] Emery, This system isn't installed yet [21:50] Errm. [21:50] FrozenFire: What I'd do is compare the checksums of the key files on the disk with what they should be. That'd reveal corruption. [21:51] IntuitiveNipple, There's no good reason for anything to be corrupted. [21:51] I'm presuming you're trying to set this up from Windows though? Not sure about the availability of MD5/SHA256-sum apps on Windows though [21:51] FrozenFire: There never is - but the kernel is telling us there IS corruption in a part of itself, or the initramdisk [21:52] IntuitiveNipple, The files are completely new. [21:52] how can i clean up my hard drive in ubuntu? [21:52] Like, from an ISO to the partition moments ago [21:52] If i were to install 12.x beta would it seamlessly turn into release version later? [21:52] And I've done the copy several times now [21:52] FrozenFire: There may be a fault with the USB<->SATA bridge. I've had several of those go bad on me recently. [21:52] And formatted the [21:52] IntuitiveNipple, Nah, it's certainly not that [21:52] Happened with a USB key as well [21:53] FrozenFire: OK, that helps... so now we're back to the PC's local USB ports and hub controller during the write operation, or else the SATA controller/wiring or RAM during the read/boot operation [21:54] IntuitiveNipple, Or the LiLi installer just sucks :P [21:54] FrozenFire, what distro are you trying to install? [21:54] FrozenFire: Hence why I said check the checksums of the files to ensure they are correct [21:54] maheanuu, 11.10 [21:54] where do i get beta for 12.x? [21:54] 32-bit [21:54] FrozenFire: Have you tried using wubi ? [21:54] IntuitiveNipple, In what regard? [21:55] FrozenFire: To install/run Ubuntu from Windows [21:55] IntuitiveNipple, Wubi actually seems not to like my system [21:55] Is it possible to clone all my repositories so I can make one private(public but not told to anyone) on my own server? [21:55] FrozenFire: Sounds like not much does! :p [21:55] I had a real pita last week, I lost a hd and the cd/dvd rom at the same time.... It took me 6 weeks to get back up and operating, but I am not at the end of the world I'm over it, now I am trying to herd all the ducks to drink [21:56] IntuitiveNipple, I don't blame it though [21:56] yoophglup: You can use a proxy/cacher such as apt-cacher-ng and similar [21:56] My local system has an encrypted system disk [21:56] FrozenFire: I'd threaten it with a big hammer :D [21:56] Äåíü äîáðûé ) à ïî ðóññêè êòî-íèáóäü ãîâîðèò? [21:56] yoophglup, yes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror [21:57] FrozenFire: What's the system you're trying to do all this on? [21:57] IntuitiveNipple, Performing the copy of files from my laptop [21:57] Windows 7 64-bit [21:57] FrozenFire: How about the hardware - is it a brand-name model or a make-it-yourself system? [21:58] BRo_: please fix your encoding so we can at least recognize what language you are typing [21:58] Thank you IntuitiveNipple and OerHeks those are both perfect! [21:58] IntuitiveNipple, I'm not too concerned about my local system being the issue [21:58] Fairly new Acer laptop [21:58] FrozenFire: But... there may be an issue for the Linux kernel with it [21:59] rsync looks like the best choice. [21:59] FrozenFire: unlikely... but you ARE getting an unusual error! [21:59] IntuitiveNipple, I'm not booting anything on this system [21:59] It's purely performing data copies === dieFree is now known as |Dove| [22:00] FrozenFire: OK ... so the system you're installing to... is it 32-bit hardware or 64-bit? What architecture is the Ubuntu image you are installing (x86 32-bit or amd64 64-bit) ? [22:00] <|Dove|> Oops [22:01] FrozenFire: I can imagine that because you're on Windows 64-bit the installer will choose to write a 64-bit Ubuntu installation to the drive ... if you try to boot that on a 32-bit only system, it would fail early [22:01] <|Dove|> what happened me [22:01] <|Dove|> xd [22:01] IntuitiveNipple, It's a 64-bit system, but I'm installing 32-bit for better compatibility [22:01] <|Dove|> well, I hate Unity, i tried XFCE and Kubuntu [22:01] FrozenFire: OK, so 32-bit should start in x86 or amd64 [22:01] <|Dove|> you recomend me xubuntu or kubuntu? [22:02] |Dove|: you test and decide for yourself.. shouldn't hurt whether you download one live CD or two [22:03] FrozenFire: The LZMA error is quite clear so either the contents of the disk are bad, or the disk or associated hardware are bad [22:04] <|Dove|> I tried both [22:04] IntuitiveNipple, The former. Certainly. [22:04] <|Dove|> i have 3GB of RAM and 2 GHz [22:04] But that's more likely to be an issue of LiLi [22:04] <|Dove|> and q nvidia geforce 9500GS [22:04] I'm just going to burn the ISO to a CD. Didn't want to waste optical media, but eh. [22:04] <|Dove|> Will kde go well? [22:04] Not worth buggering with, as I'm more likely to break something === Guest26482 is now known as Termana [22:07] hi. is there any easy howto for raid1 with 2tb hds.. i tryed for 2 times now and cant install grub :/ [22:08] saban: I did that recently with a server [22:08] its a fresh install [22:09] saban, Typically, I think you'll want a small boot volume [22:09] I wanted to ask that why isn't librebase already preinstalled in ubuntu? and is there a way that I can install it manually? [22:09] saban: are you wanting to mirror an existing installation? [22:09] I'm not an expert on the matter, but I'd think it's a bit hard to boot a RAID array directly. [22:09] i did 200mb raid1 (md0) and mounted /boot on it. and it didnt help [22:10] IntuitiveNipple: its a fresh install not existing one [22:10] <_dbro2> Hey guys, check this site out! http://bit.ly/inhumanundead [22:10] ... [22:10] saban: But you've got the US already installed on a single disk and want to mirror it? [22:10] I wanted to ask that why isn't librebase already preinstalled in ubuntu? and is there a way that I can install it manually? [22:11] IntuitiveNipple: no i want to do it in partition disks section when i m installing it [22:12] saban: There's support for doing that on the Ubuntu Server installation disk [22:12] saban: I believe it is also available from the Desktop Alternate install images [22:13] IntuitiveNipple: ok i will check it [22:13] Uggh, now this is just retarded. Now a CD-based installer is not working [22:13] Definitely something screwy with the arch [22:13] FrozenFire: Something on that PC then? [22:13] FrozenFire: Or in writing the image ? [22:14] IntuitiveNipple, The kernel arch is probably wrong, but I cannot fathom how [22:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/941715/ <---can someone explain me why i got processes under root!? :'( [22:14] It's an Acer m5700 system. It's got a 64-bit Intel processor [22:14] I'm trying to install the 32-bit version of 11.10 [22:15] I cannot fathom how there'd be an arch mismatch [22:15] Uggh, guess I'll resort to trying to use the 64-bit version [22:15] Not looking forward to yet another wasted CD [22:15] FrozenFire: Have you compared the md5 sum of the ISO image you have locally, with the lists on the cdimage.ubuntu.com web site? [22:16] IntuitiveNipple, It's a new ISO, freshly downloaded [22:16] And it could have been corrupted in the download. We publish the MD5 sums so it is easy to check === MadSweeney is now known as Guest14105 [22:24] .

[22:35] !repeat | Ammar_ [22:35] Ammar_: 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/ [22:35] Ammar_: there's a limited amount of software that can be included in ubuntu when you install (the install CD image is only so big), and since LibreOffice base is not as used, it doesn't make the cut, I guess [22:35] What does LibreOffice Base offer anyway? === MadSweeney_ is now known as MadSweeney [22:35] so wasn't libreoffice started because people were afraid that oracle would take openoffice closed-source? [22:36] so I can install it separately? [22:36] and didn't oracle end up selling it to apache? [22:36] so.... what's the point anymore? [22:36] Ammar_, yes [22:36] Ammar_: yes [22:36] Random832, the problem is that Oracle owns the OpenOffice brand [22:36] So they'd have to be interested in continuing it. [22:36] Daekdroom: i'm pretty sure Apache owns it now [22:36] Ammar_: Libre Base is in the package libreoffice-base [22:36] sup bitches? [22:36] Random832: that's OpenOffice - LibreOffice is a fork [22:36] It doesn't matter in my point. [22:36] No, Libre Office is great. [22:37] Daekdroom: well, it does since the point was "boo oracle we're scared they'll take our openoffice away" [22:37] I would revert to OOo at the first opportunity. LibreO is a junk [22:37] oh wait nevermind [22:37] and they didn't and they gave it to people we're not scared of so whats the point [22:37] kbai [22:37] They WOULD go back to OpenOffice if they were given the chance. [22:37] they broke everything they could get their pesky hands upon [22:37] But I think it's kinda too late. [22:37] Libre Office is great imho. [22:37] thanks :) [22:38] Well, it's enough for me at least. [22:38] LibreOffice is far better than OpenOffice. [22:39] (mostly because OpenOffice stopped releasing since LibreOffice) [22:39] Wasn't Libre the successor to Open? [22:39] Sort of. I guess Oracle could continue with OO if they wanted to. [22:39] But everyone's moving from OO to LibreOffice, so yeah. [22:40] I moved from OO, and Libre is just great [22:40] Daekdroom, it is broken piece of (selfcensored) [22:41] so.. i read that oracle gave oo to apache - was that not true, or did it end up not meaning anthing [22:42] The latter, I suppose. [22:42] hy teman, bisakah anda menolongku ?. bagaimana cara membuat file .war di ubuntu ? [22:43] hy friends, can you help me?. how to create a file. war in ubuntu? [22:43] Hey all, I'm trying to install 12.04 on a desktop via WUBI, and I'm getting this error message: 17.719854 b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode5.fw" not found. Any ideas? [22:43] pleace some body help me [22:43] hy friends, can you help me?. how to create a file. war in ubuntu? [22:44] revzter: what is a .war file [22:45] Random832 sort the file contained in a website, perhaps from java [22:45] is it possible to clone a current ubuntu installation into a ready mountable vdi for virtualbox [22:46] revzter: do you have a java development environment? what do you use on windows to make one [22:46] is it possible to dist-upgrade to 12.04 today? [22:48] Pedrolito: yes [22:48] Pedrolito: but 1. dist-upgrade will not do the job, 2. 12.04 is not stable so please join #ubuntu+1 [22:48] I am trying to use grub2 to boot into command line since the system is old i dont need to waist resources cant i use the /etc/default/grub to boot into the command line? I put "TEXT" into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUS and sudo update-grub2 but nothing happens when I reboot [22:48] revzter: you could just use a zipping programme to create your .war file. Just make sure the web archive file contains the structure needed for your webcontainer. [22:48] no T_T i'm newbie. and I really need a way to get my files into one in the form .war. a kind of zip file [22:48] ok, thanks iceroot [22:49] sevith: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [22:49] linux* and i still get the xubuntu GUI [22:49] Guys, is there something special I need to do to enable python2.6 as default on Ubuntu 11.10? I symlink'd /usr/bin/python to python2.6, edited /usr/share/python/debian_defaults to have 2.6 as the default version, but when I install libapache2-mod-wsgi (after the edits) it appears to be built against python 2.7 because an app I'm calling doesn't see the modules I've already installed (using 2.6) [22:49] Add it to default ircroot? === fiber is now known as fiber0ptiK [22:49] sevith: yes [22:49] pjs: you shouldn't change default python [22:49] I want to download Skype using the terminal..... I am wanting the 64 bit version not the 32 but when I use the GUI I keep getting the 32 bit proggie only???? [22:49] I knew it was one of em thx alot -.- [22:49] K, I really HATE realmedia files now D= [22:50] !info skype [22:50] Package skype does not exist in oneiric === fiber0ptiK is now known as fiber [22:50] maheanuu: you are using skype from the partner-repo?

[22:52] jrib, I understand that, but if I wanted to, is there a special process? or does libapache2-mod-wsgi need to be built from source specifying the python version? [22:52] jrib: Yeh, absolutely nothing seems to work, even tried transcoding in vlc :/:/ [22:53] pjs: I don't know exactly how libapache2-mod-wsgi is built, maybe check the source package. But you definitely should not be changing the default system python. There are system tools written in python and they expect "python" to be python 2.7 (or whatever) [22:54] jrib: I'm almost ready to point a camera at the monitor, play it in vlc, and film the result -_-' [22:54] CoJaBo: haha [22:54] At least it'd be in h.264 then.. lol [22:55] CoJaBo: did you try #mplayer yet? [22:55] not yet..might as well I guess lOL [22:56] And I think I'm *seriously* going to do the camera thing if that doesn't work o_O The quality if one notch above barf as it is, so if I can get it lined up rightt no one will notice xD [22:56] jrib, I'm not removing python 2.7, and if I remember correctly, those tools specifically call python 2.7, so it shouldn't create an issue as far as that goes [22:57] Anyone know if most 32 bit Ubuntu apps run fine on Ubunut 64 bit [22:57] usually do Infinite8 [22:57] CoJaBo: you dont need a camera, camstasia works wonders for that [22:58] syslq: ..hm, but does it do sound, and run on a netbook? lol [22:58] redone: Any disadvantages of me running a 32 bit distro on my 64 bit processor [22:59] CoJaBo: sure, just not on linux [22:59] renode: Any disadvantages of me running a 32 bit distro on my my 64 bit processor [23:00] tbh i have no idea, all i know is that its usually backwards compatible [23:00] prolly lower res etc etc [23:00] renode: k [23:00] syslq: yeh, i ding have a windows machine anymore -_-' [23:00] don't [23:02] cat /etc/apt/sources.list"iceroot [23:02] iceroot,http://paste.ubuntu.com/941767/ [23:03] !info skype lucid [23:03] Package skype does not exist in lucid [23:03] maheanuu: can you provide the output of "apt-cache policy skype" please [23:04] IntuitiveNipple, o.O Apparently the system needed an AMD64 installer [23:04] Am I missing something, or are Core 2-brand processors AMD now? :P [23:04] iceroot: its got to be in the partner repo. [23:05] FrozenFire: AMD 'invented' the 64-bit intel-compatible architecture, so it got named after them === matteo is now known as Guest66448 [23:05] FrozenFire: Glad you got it sorted out [23:05] right - intel 64 means the itanium architecture [23:05] which isn't made anymore [23:06] iceroot,http://paste.ubuntu.com/941772/ [23:06] Random832: really :O This 9350 must be a Chinese knock-off then!

[23:10] Or should I say that I cannot fing tyhe 64 bit version to load [23:10] maheanuu: can you start skype from the terminal by typing "skype"? is there any usefull error-message?
