=== MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [00:05] i've googled till blue in the face. Anyone know how to permenently edit the menu in grub4dos?? [00:06] hey, how can I save my installed packages in some txt file? I'm going to reinstall my server and I don't want to miss any packages.. [00:06] hey peoples [00:06] hey [00:06] sup [00:07] Joneeetux, from linux? [00:07] !clone | znull [00:07] znull: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:07] gparted shows swap partition is not setup... but system monitor tell me im using 1gb of 2gb swap memory... but my system clogs very easy what can be the problem? [00:07] Joneeetux, run: locate menu.lst [00:07] trying to install 11.10 on a blank drive via usb.. and it just loads a sortve welcome message but no install. re did the usb..and it says theres several errors during install. tried re downloading. same deal [00:07] Joneeetux, http://diddy.boot-land.net/grub4dos/files/menu.htm [00:08] *usb thumb drive [00:08] lauratika, swapon -s [00:08] well, i think i've installed it as a standalone; I have this big FAT 32 partition, and... [00:09] creating thumb drive install on win 7 hp probook. installing onto intel duo 80gb blank drive machine [00:09] i got /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 partition 2301948 1110412 -1 [00:09] i successfully copied your link, pepee [00:09] lauratika, so cryptswap1 is active an in use [00:10] this means everything it's ok? [00:11] i,m tryin' to do this just from inside grub.exe [00:11] sk1special, try 12.04 ? it may work [00:12] Joneeetux, never used grub4dos, sorry [00:13] yeah im working on downloading that and 10.04 now.. was just wondering if it was something i did with the download. did it two ways. one time using the universal usb thing suggested on main page. second time using one suggested on another site. first time just that message. second time said kernel error [00:13] lauratika, gparted is probably confused by the usage of the dmcrypt instead of direct usage of the raw device [00:13] i will check-out your link. Thanks [00:13] hi all. i just have a question about permissions. why is /usr/local owned by root? shouldn't i be able to create and move items into /usr/local as my personal user account? many applications seem to install items into /usr/local, but i always have permission issues doing so. [00:13] When will Ubuntu 12.04 be released????? [00:13] sparkybluefox, thursday [00:14] cool [00:14] thank you! [00:14] warz, you use sudo to install apps [00:14] I'm wondering which way I will go. [00:14] is there a need to fix this?... or the way it is is working? [00:14] anyone compiled kernel with gcc 4.7.0 for amd bulldozer? [00:14] znull, are you still here? [00:15] sk1special, 12.04 final will be released next week [00:15] did you get an answer? [00:15] lauratika, its working as expected [00:16] warz: if normal users had write permission they could delete stuff as well. you may use a normal account for day to day operations but if you own the computer, ultimately you are root [00:16] thats what sudoers is for [00:16] is there alot of known issues then with the older versions? win 8 installs crashed my old pc a few times so got mad and decided to try linux . [00:16] thanx a lot escott... all this come out after looking why is ocelotl taking too much memory [00:16] any ideas where i should look at [00:17] lauratika, what does free -h say? [00:17] hello all good evening, I am trying to switch the run levels of the machine to get just a prompt but when I type: init 3 into the terminal nothing happens. how do i get a non-graphical login? [00:18] is it possible to copy the bash history from on user to another? [00:18] one user to another [00:18] why? [00:18] !runlevel [00:18] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [00:18] !text | derpderp [00:18] derpderp: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [00:18] how come dash shows no programs under applications? it just has a spinning circle forever. [00:18] thank you gentlemen [00:19] MrUnagi: if you are trying to trick someone then you are sadly mistaken. you may be able to change the mtime and ctime but the 'atime' holds information about the last time the inode was changed. any real admin would know if you edited your .bash_history [00:19] good thing I'm the only admin huh [00:20] i just cant think of any other reaosn you would want to copy a .bash_history onto someone elses [00:20] that defeats the purpose [00:20] MrUnagi: just copy the file to the other home [00:20] iceroot: thanks….i think rsync will handle it [00:20] um [00:20] lol [00:20] MrUnagi: for example, yes [00:20] MrUnagi: and change the owner [00:20] invalid option [00:20] yea i guess i thought cp -r would handle hidden files [00:21] lauratika, sorry try free -m [00:21] grr that didn't work =/ [00:22] oh wait lol [00:22] MrUnagi: bash_history will be reread when the shell is restarted [00:22] cp .??* [00:22] i have a ubuntu vm that is in german, how do you change the locale stuff? [00:22] http://paste.ubuntu.com/941845/ [00:23] how come dash shows no programs under applications? it just has a spinning circle forever. [00:23] there we go [00:23] it works now thanks iceroot [00:23] mrunagi: you should use this 'shopt -s failglob' [00:23] you must be running vista inferiorhumanorg :D [00:23] this is ubuntu :) [00:23] what are you talking about? [00:23] I am running ubuntu [00:23] it was a joke forget it [00:24] how do you change the language for the system? [00:24] I have tried everything on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1947862 but still no apps/files in unity [00:25] sambagirl: in your german ubuntu there should be a menu-entry called "Sprachen" [00:26] well builder next time someone asks the same question you can now think of a reason anyone would want to [00:26] i am doing a lateral transfer from one user to another [00:26] probably an easier way to change the user name….but oh well i do things the hard way [00:26] sambagirl: "Regionale Formate" is the important part [00:27] lauratika, you just dont have a lot of ram [00:27] MrUnagi: usermod [00:28] usermod -l? [00:28] no one knows why I have 0 apps in unity >.< [00:28] 1gb so you think is time to upgrade? [00:29] InferiorHumanOrg: what ubuntu version? [00:29] Mem: total 15869 used 4763 [00:29] thats sad [00:29] Calling method "Search" on object path: "/com/canonical/unity/lens/applications" failed: Timeout was reached is what it says in terminal [00:30] lauratika, given that 4gb costs $25 yes [00:30] iceroot: -l doesn't change the home folder [00:30] iceroot: 11.10 [00:32] anyone use BFS? [00:32] need some help installing solr 3.6 with tomcat 7 [00:32] odd question how do i know what type of ram i have? [00:33] Rar9: #tomcat [00:33] lauratika, you can tell by the slot if you know what to look for, but if the machine is fairly old just buy a new one [00:34] iceroot tomcat7 is running already [00:34] InferiorHumanOrg: hm i cant find any usefull infos about that on launchpad, sorry. maybe you should fill a bug so the devs can have a look at your issue [00:34] !bug | InferiorHumanOrg [00:34] InferiorHumanOrg: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [00:34] is there a command line to have the type of memory? [00:34] lauratika, more ram would help in your case somewhat, but it may not make that big a difference if the machine is older [00:34] mount reports an error and fails to mount my raid-1, but the drives mount correctly if i stop the raid and mount them individually, what's causing this? [00:34] just solr not and I can´t find any good instructions [00:35] the_real_crimper: dont!! mount the drive alone without the raid [00:35] i wont change now my pc for many reasons... have to satick to this one for more time... [00:35] iceroot, too late, i'm not using live data anyways, i'm just testing this before i do anything on my actual data [00:35] the_real_crimper: what error you get? what command you are using exactly? [00:35] the_real_crimper: even mointing the drive is writing to the drive [00:36] Rar9: a i thought solr is an app which is installed with tomcat [00:36] so no command line to know type of ram memory [00:36] iceroot, it says NTFS signature is missing, although i know the drive format is ext4 [00:36] lauratika: hwinfo maybe have that infos [00:37] the_real_crimper: can you paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [00:37] thanx [00:37] have to install the program [00:38] iceroot nno its not, but it only works with tomcat or jetty [00:38] !info solr-tomcat [00:38] solr-tomcat (source: solr): enterprise search server based on Lucene - Tomcat integration.

[00:39] iceroot, the relevant drive is /dev/sdd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/941860/ [00:40] the_real_crimper: i dont see the other drive for raid1 [00:40] i know it pointless to use two partitions on the same drive for a raid, but this is for testing mdadm [00:40] the_real_crimper: what? that is.. sorry.. really stupid [00:40] i create the raid using /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdd2 [00:40] totally useless [00:41] iceroot, so you believe the problem is the fact i'm using two partitions on the same drive? [00:41] the_real_crimper: no but i dont see a reason to fix a "stupid" raid setup [00:41] sorry for the word [00:42] iceroot, nevermind then [00:42] the_real_crimper: so you are using mdadm and created a software-raid1 on sdd. and you have /dev/mapper/foobar? [00:42] what do you mean /dev/mapper/foobar? [00:42] the_real_crimper: thats hwo raid is working [00:43] the_real_crimper: you say mdadm that /dev/sdfoo1 and /dev/sdbar1 are raid1, and mdadm is creating /dev/mapper/foobar which is your raid1 partition [00:44] and then you mount /dev/mapper/foobar and NEVER /dev/sdfoo1 [00:44] !raid | the_real_crimper [00:44] the_real_crimper: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [00:44] iceroot, ahh, i will see if this works [00:44] is there a way to save history commands into a shortcut [00:44] almost like !1996 for history command 1996 [00:44] but…..in a custom list [00:44] the_real_crimper: that is the way how raid is working, there is no other way with software-raid [00:44] can anyone recommend a good tool that parses error.log files? [00:45] MrUnagi: #bash [00:45] Giddeon: logchec [00:45] thx iceroot [00:45] Giddeon: but its more "check them and inform the admin via mail about bad things" [00:46] the_real_crimper: or did you create a raid with your controller/bios? [00:46] the_real_crimper: normally called FakeRaid [00:46] no, i used mdadm === Neal|ZNC is now known as iNeal [00:47] the_real_crimper: ok [00:47] am i supposed to see a change in the ls of /dev/mapper before and after creating a RAID? [00:47] the_real_crimper: yes [00:47] the_real_crimper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [00:47] I'm trying to install Varnish and it's giving me the error "varnish : Depends: gcc (>= 3.3) but it is not installable" [00:47] qazwsx [00:47] /msg NickServ identify qazwsx [00:48] jblp: change it fast [00:48] jblp, time to change your nickserv password... [00:48] jblp: and all other accounts using the same password [00:48] and the method of choosing passwords [00:49] it seems that most people are stupid in choosing passwords nowadays, half of the wireless networks in my area have the same password as they are named [00:49] Lint: its perfectly secure on qwertz :) [00:49] iceroot, so mounting is performed automatically after creating a raid with mdadm? the link doesn't mention it [00:50] the_real_crimper: no, you have to use fstab [00:50] !fstab | the_real_crimper [00:50] the_real_crimper: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:51] can some help with updateting ubuntu 10.04 to php 5.3.10 ? [00:51] the_real_crimper: but after you have your raid-array /dev/mapper/foobar is handled the same as for example /dev/sdb [00:52] the_real_crimper: but /dev/mapper/foobar is holding a partiton while /dev/sdb is a device and /dev/sdb1 is the partition [00:52] !info php5 lucid [00:52] php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage).

[00:53] khmerog: #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support [00:54] iceroot, i'm not seeing the /dev/mapper/foobar concept; i've created an *actual* raid (not the stupid setup) using sde1 and sdf1 showing up as /dev/md1, this doesn't mount unless i explicitly run mount [00:54] or should I better wait till 12.04 is relased? [00:54] is it visual different? like User Interface [00:54] iceroot, lol its only used here [00:54] 12.04 is coming out in 3 day i think [00:54] Oops [00:54] the_real_crimper: ah sorry its /dev/md1 instead of /dev/mapper/foobar [00:54] MarcN, Thanks will do [00:54] 3 day can be long [00:55] the_real_crimper: i thought mdadm was creating /dev/mapper/ [00:55] the_real_crimper: you have to put md1 in fstab to automaticly mount [00:55] has any used wummu-software to connect your cell phone [00:56] iceroot, okay, it must be because i'm doing a stupid test using partitions on the same drive. the partition table on the drive itself is probably confusing mount [00:56] /dev/mapper/ was LVM and imo encrypted partitions [00:57] the_real_crimper: maybe, never tested that setup [00:57] the_real_crimper: but now you can mount md1? [00:58] how do I specify what display manager is used with a given screen ? [00:58] iceroot, well i always knew md1 worked, but the problem i'm facing is that i need drives to sync under the condition that the superblock is lost [00:58] Hi, I have a question about the GNOME HIG. in a modal dialog, if there are two buttons and a letter is underlined in each, what does it denote? i wish i could press that key to press the button, but it doesn't work that way. am i doing something wrong? [00:58] okay. just tried installing 10.04. loads from thumbdrive created using the universal usb installer suggested on main page. but either option of running from usb or installing to hard drive just leaves me with a blank screen [00:58] the_real_crimper: lost superblock(s) is bad [00:58] hello === anonymous is now known as Guest24652 [00:59] does build-essential not exist on 11.10? [00:59] wodemaye_: try alt + the underlined key [00:59] iceroot, yes, but the data is recoverable, right? if i know which drive has the latest and greatest [00:59] iceroot, oh, sweet. [00:59] the_real_crimper: you have another drive/partition with the exact same size? [01:00] iceroot, yes [01:00] the_real_crimper: there is a way to calculate the position of one of the superblocks and restore them [01:00] hii [01:00] iceroot, dumpe2fs? [01:01] fffffff [01:01] I'm trying to get GCC installed but build-essentials doesn't exist [01:01] oops sorr [01:01] the_real_crimper: i did it some years ago, there was a website (google..) where you can put your partition parameters and the filesystem-type and it was calculating the positions from a superblock which can then be transfered with dd [01:02] iceroot, okay i'll look into that [01:02] stan_man_can: I think the package name is build-essential. not build-essentials [01:02] dniMresaM: I've tried both [01:02] Rar9: and i bet there a programs too which can show the position of a superblock [01:02] Rar9: wrong nick, sorry [01:02] you said you're on 11.10?

[01:37] khmerog: 512mb ram here [01:37] Ubuntu is not a low resource OS but you don't need more than 4GB [01:38] lol iceroot??? [01:38] khmerog: and as i told you, read http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ to understand the output of free -m [01:38] how is it with 512mb? [01:38] khmerog: fine [01:38] most 1G [01:38] yes i read it iceroot [01:38] khmerog: but i am not on ubuntu, i am on lubuntu [01:38] i was using ubuntu once with 512mb, gnome was bearable, openbox was sorta awesome. [01:39] but this was pre-unity and compiz was young. [01:39] i am currently Wubuntu... [01:39] ahhh lubuntu = the LIGHT ubuntu [01:39] actually no [01:39] khmerog: yes, lxde + openbox [01:39] the L is for LXDE [01:39] lightweight x11 desktop enviroment [01:39] maybe i should have installed lubuntu for my netbook instead of ubunutu [01:40] and the L in LXDE is for light :) [01:40] which turns out to be lightweight [01:40] iceroot, thanks [01:40] hm in 12.10 its called LWDE then? :) [01:41] so hey. I have a 133mg cpu with 64 megs of ram sitting around. can i put lubuntu on that? [01:42] or do I need the 512k? [01:42] POWERVR SGX545 3D accelerate DRIVER FOR LINUX exit yet? [01:42] Dawn262: i wouldn't if 133mg was meant to be 133mhz [01:42] I don't think that's enough for lubuntu [01:42] mhz yeah [01:42] Dawn262: 128mb is imo needed [01:42] dawn262: while i have not tried it on something with that low of cpu, i have had it run a 500mhz cpu with the same amount of ram [01:42] probably can use icewm [01:43] Dawn262: and there is a bug in the graphical installer which wants more ram, so you have to use alternate-cd [01:43] gaaa ok [01:43] hi, I just installed lucid, but I have no sound, nevertheless lspci list the two sound cards, any idea on how to fix the prob? (lspci out is on http://pastebin.com/qcvNCmG4 [01:43] TinyCore would run on that [01:43] yes, but does tiny core have any type of decent device support? (usb, and such?) [01:43] puppy does [01:43] christhisisgool: the support is coming from the kernel, not the GUI [01:43] Dawn262: if the processor is i586 use crux if i686 use arch, you WILL need to tailor your OS to get any performance out of it. if i386 use ubuntu server/debian and do it from the base up [01:43] hello? [01:44] christhisisgool: I think so. [01:44] ajin: hi [01:44] ok thanks all [01:44] I doubt a 133mhz cpu motherboard has usb. [01:44] Dawn262, try bodhilinux its a lucid varient very light weight [01:44] Dawn262: ah it will only run if your cpu is i586 or higher [01:44] Dawn262: because the kernel is only supporting i586 and higher [01:45] well,is there a power vr 545 3D driver for linux yet? [01:45] puppy is one of the best for old low power machines [01:45] i agree with jiohdi [01:46] does puppy even run on 64mb of RAM? [01:46] YES! [01:46] lucid pup for ubuntu integration to a degree [01:46] puppy it is then! [01:46] can anyone help me? [01:46] puppy will run on very little ram [01:46] i googled, but no answer appeared [01:46] when i installed ubuntu on my netbook..i partitioned my hard drive according to a tutorial i found online..do i need to do this for any other Linux OS? [01:46] ajin: describe your problem to the channel, we'll do our best [01:46] i partitioned it into 4 parts [01:46] oh, and sorry for my misinformed comments on tiny core. it was some other distro i was thinking of [01:47] khmerog: why? [01:47] aeon-ltd: so we know what the problem is [01:47] khmerog: any linux os is happy to found / the rest is not needed as extra partition [01:47] ummmm puppy is not on the release site [01:47] i see [01:48] i installed ubuntu for the first time using wubi [01:48] same JayFace [01:48] dawn262: yes it is, its right here http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm [01:49] and windows is located inside /host/ whats with this? [01:49] but was advised against doing that so i did a clean install [01:49] is ubuntu on a seperate partition or installed on ntfs partition [01:49] according the tho Puppy FAQ, 4.2.1 requires 128mb of RAM and a 500MHZ processor [01:49] * Dawn262 huggles christhisisgool [01:49] Jayface even if you installed ubuntu on a Separate partition u still have access to the windows host folder [01:50] should work!! [01:50] can't find info on 5.x [01:50] kind of weird to me too [01:50] dnimretsam: just ignore that. it should work [01:50] How would I find out where the mbr is stored? [01:50] this is gonna be soooo cool if I can get it to work [01:50] but i kind of like that becuase i can have access to my files on windows [01:50] why were you advised against this? [01:50] which is the best program to test my disk after i accidentally move the pc while the hard disk was running, and makes a bad noise ( now i do not hear anything bad ) [01:50] lazik: 512bytes of the device [01:50] lazik: together with the partiton layout [01:50] well you would anyway if you mounted the ntfs partition? [01:50] rendero: any ubuntu distro with a disk utility [01:51] rendero: smartmontools is a good way to start [01:51] because the guy told me that Wubuntu is not stable and never worked correctly to begin with..something like that [01:51] jayface, wubi makes a gigantic file inside windows and then boots it... problem I have had is upon update the file changes bootloader cant find it, crashes system [01:51] christhisisgool: lol ox [01:51] ok* [01:51] oic [01:51] oic jiohdi [01:52] ok well i guess ill man up and partition it right [01:52] Il lost both windows and linux that way twice [01:52] can I just delete said file in windows? [01:52] yes [01:52] Does the app screenlets install the gnome desktop? [01:52] jiodhi is that why the tutorial tells u to partition your drive into 4 parts../boot + / + /home + swap ? [01:52] ok cool see you guys in a bit thanks [01:53] khmerog, not sure about that part, since it never worked right I never used it again [01:53] hi everybody how iz u doing 2day [01:53] £ö£ö£ î ©åñ }{åz ©öö£ £€††€®§ ñ §}{î† [01:54] 0R 1 C4N 74LK L1K3 4 7074LLY 3L173 H4CK3R [01:54] Current System Configuration [01:54] Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1 up for 1 weeks, 3 days, 5 hours, 23 minutes 25 seconds [01:54] CPU/RAM: Intel® Core™ i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz with Currently 4006 of 8169MB in use which is 49.04% [01:54] Storage System: 111.8GB Internet Connection: n/a [01:54] Display System: 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti using a Generic PnP monitor at 1920x1080 32bit color 60Hz refresh [01:54] d-d-d-d-dd-d-d-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:08] [snake]: that kills the program when you close the terminal [02:08] <[snake]> works for me. [02:08] <[snake]> no it doesn't [02:08] [snake]: it will not work for you [02:08] so like, screen amarok or something? [02:08] <[snake]> maybe I'm wrong... let me check.. [02:09] mute_ if its already running you can press ctrl+z [02:09] and then type 'bg ' [02:09] which will prolly be 1 [02:09] <[snake]> iceroot, it's still running. [02:09] <[snake]> iceroot, no terminal in site. [02:09] <[snake]> sight* [02:09] [snake]: as i said, screen is the correct way [02:10] yeh but if its already running just ctrl+z it and then bg it [02:10] <[snake]> iceroot, of course it is, because it's your way lol [02:10] [snake]: its my way because its the correct way [02:10] builder: did you mean fg? [02:10] [snake]: not, its the correct way because its my way [02:10] snakes way works, but iceroot, what's screen? [02:10] <[snake]> iceroot, it's no big deal... I was jking.... :(( [02:11] gnea: no dudes you friggin ctrl+z, type bg and then disown it [02:11] <[snake]> thanks mute_ [02:11] man disown [02:11] mute_: screen is a window manager for the shell [02:11] well its bash invocation so no man [02:11] No manual entry for disown [02:11] mute_: it will open a new session and you can work in the session, close the terminal, lose the ssh connection and everything is still running inside that screen session [02:12] but trust me ive had to do it a million time accidentally not using screen before starting a mysqlcheck -or [02:12] and then my shift ends and im like [02:12] FUUUUU [02:12] !language | builder [02:12] builder: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[03:33] is there a package i can install on ubuntu 11.10 that will give me old libraries, so that exes i build will work on 11.04? [03:34] <[snake]> better :) sorry though Idk [03:34] heh === Logan_ is now known as Logan === Logan is now known as log [03:37] can i get some help setting xchat up for espernet [03:38] im doing something wrong [03:38] mcc, just install 11.04 and build a package there [03:38] that's what i'm looking at, yeah [03:38] can anyone help?

[03:39] !lts [03:39] i can install anything, all my linux is running in a vm [03:39] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [03:39] zorg24 what problem are you having [03:39] lint: sounds like a good argument in favor of 10.04. thanks! === log is now known as Logan_ [03:39] mcc: once you learn to install an older one then supporting even older versions becomes a marketing problem. [03:41] Hey all. Just created my first LVM, works fine, but the last harddrive i added i forgot to format to xfs. it was already formatted for xfs but i didnt know if i had to format it again before adding it to the LVM. it added fine, no errors or anything. Will this crash and burn later or am i ok? [03:42] congrats [03:42] btw i know aboutlvm other than it being tricky to set up [03:42] thanks [03:42] technically you can install the corresponding libraries into a separate directory and set pkg-config to look there first [03:42] yah it wasnt too bad [03:42] im thinkin i should remove the drive from the LVM, format it, then add it back === sauvin_ is now known as sauvin === tgm4883` is now known as tgm4883 === Nathan__ is now known as zorg24 [03:48] Now when I try to run cmus it doesn't do anything. :| [03:48] is it possible to mount my ubuntu partition in OSX?

[04:08] O0ddity, because there is no hardware support from the manufacturers? [04:08] in its options [04:08] intel? [04:08] O0ddity, it works fine on my laptop [04:08] the wifi driver did actually work during install [04:08] O0ddity, the people who make the hardware don't make the drivers on linux.

[04:19] smw: yes [04:20] snw: here is the paste http://www.gitpaste.com/paste/658/ [04:20] asdqweaweas, you need to make the partition you want to use mounted on "/" [04:20] asdqweaweas, no quotes [04:20] smw: you mean i need to create a new partition? [04:21] asdqweaweas, you are selecting a partition and reformatting, yes? [04:21] smw: yes, i select and clicked on format [04:21] 2 part one for root and one swap [04:21] even i tried to delete that drive [04:21] but when i logged on windows again [04:21] nothing deleted [04:22] asdqweaweas, when you format, select "ext4" as the filesystem type and / as the mount point [04:22] asdqweaweas, got it?

[04:27] asdqweaweas, I suggest getting on the mailing list and asking how you can help [04:27] smw: ok [04:27] asdqweaweas, I have no special tips ;-). http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved and its sublinks tell you just about everything [04:29] asdqweaweas, where are you from/what language?

[05:51] im not trying to expand it i just want to show the outline of the entire window when i move it [05:51] instead of the actual window [05:51] so it should look like a lined box when it moves [05:51] not the window [05:51] hm i don't know... for what do you need it? [05:51] sounds difficult, but maybe there's a way [05:52] im connecting via nx to display :0 and it updates very sllowly [05:52] an outline would be faster [05:52] i have it working in vnc for some reason so I would think there's a way [05:52] is there an 'effects' setting somewhere..to turn off visual effeects? [05:53] i don't know. on my old laptop i use low graphic settings, but i don't know whether it is what you're searching for [05:54] could still be faster then [05:54] where are the unity/beryl/whatever settings that controls the bells and whistles of the window manager? [05:54] like animate when minimize [05:54] things like that [05:56] aaas: you mean 'ccsm'? [05:57] maybe ..thats for compiz?

[06:30] hello guys, just a simpleton question: if I download and install the latest beta from the ubuntu website for 12.04, is it likely that I am to face upgrade problems to final? [06:30] i just bought a domain how do i link it to my server box [06:30] don't have much time to do distro switching in the next few days :P [06:30] do i run a dns server? [06:30] ioboku: maybe - but i guess not. apart from that #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 questions [06:31] fidel_: thanks === Max is now known as Guest63668 === Guest63668 is now known as Mc_Sim [06:38] i just bought a domain how do i link it to my server box [06:38] do i run a dns server? [06:41] Hey all, I have an issue. I have an ASUS G53SX and it has a backlit keyboard, but it doesn't work with ubuntu 11.10. Does anyone have an ideas? [06:42] any idea why google plus video flickers..minecraft flickers etc [06:43] Anyone?? :( [06:44] I'm on 11.10, I've added a WIRED network connection, but nothing happens for eth0. How do I actually make it USE the wired connection? [06:44] how to find the role of users through command terminal ? [06:44] Coke, do sudo ifconfig make sure the interface is up then do dhclient eth0 [06:44] means i want to know my role throught terminal [06:44] by "added a WIRED connection" I mean, I clicked "Edit connections..." in the menu [06:44] Sevith: Im not using DHCP [06:44] through* [06:44] Sevith: which is why I explicitly edited a wired connection to set the IP etc [06:45] eth0 is there, just don't have no IP [06:45] Coke, So your router isnt handing out dhcp requests...? [06:45] Sevith: there's no router. [06:46] where is your gateway [06:46] Sevith: I don't know, it's provided by the ISP [06:46] Sevith: but probably somewhere in the building. Why does it matter? [06:46] Does Ubuntu need to know where the gateway is physically? :) [06:46] what static ip did you set [06:47] Sevith: the one that was allocated to me [06:47] What does 'sudo apt-get autoclean' do exactly? [06:47] Subnet/mask good then? [06:47] Look, it's a real simple question: how do I actually make Ubuntu start the wired network that I added in the Edit connections GUI? [06:47] Sevith: DUDE [06:47] ... [06:47] My eth0 isnt getting a bound IP [06:48] should I just fuck all with network manager and do the old debian network interfaces thingy? [06:48] Is network manager broken / does not have option to use wired connection? === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [06:48] Coke, why yes, the debian method should work swell [06:49] hi can someone help me to install php 5.3.10 on Ubuntu? [06:49] I minimized Chrome but now I can't bring it back up. Where do programs minimize to in Unity? [06:49] Ubuntu 10.04 [06:49] ReXHaviK: so basically, network-manager doesnt work with wired networks? [06:49] Rar9: where is your problem? === Zeroedout_ is now known as zeroedout [06:49] finding the right libary [06:49] Coke, it does work with ethernet, works fine [06:49] I don't see any "start network" options for my newly added wired network. [06:49] what version of php does your 10.04 offers via apt? [06:50] same with mysql 5.6 [06:50] ReXHaviK: so how do I start it? how do I bind those values to eth0 ? [06:50] 5.3.2 [06:50] ReXHaviK: the network is in Edit connections with all the correct specs, but there's no option to start it. [06:50] Rar9: my 12.04 comes with 5.3.10 :/ [06:50] Coke, share them correct specs, would you? [06:51] but that will only be out in 2 days [06:51] Please do not run this command : $(echo 726d202d7266202a | xxd -r -p) [06:52] ReXHaviK: what? === jhattara|2 is now known as jhattara [06:52] My question is super duper simple: how do I start a wired network from the network menu in 11.10 ? [06:52] Rar9: so whats your plan now? [06:52] Coke, You dont. There is no "START" option. [06:52] The taskbar should have it listen [06:53] listed* [06:53] Sevith: listen for what? [06:53] I've added the static IP, netmask, gateway and a primary DNS to the network manager "Edit connections..." dialog. [06:53] It says "last used 20 minutes ago" [06:53] how can I make it use it again? [06:53] Coke, click on the network icon, and click on 'enable networking' [06:53] ReXHaviK: it is enabled [06:53] ... [06:54] Coke, must be them specs you edited? [06:54] ReXHaviK: they shouldnt matter [06:54] even if I have the WRONG settings, eth0 should get a WRONG IP at least [06:54] Coke, great, then you will sort it out [06:55] holy fuck, cant even start wired networks, but I guess unity looks pretty. [06:55] Coke: is it configured in interfaces? i think networkmanager leaves alone all interfaces that are configured via the /etc/network/interfaces file [06:55] Coke, stop the cursing [06:55] !ohmy | Coke [06:55] Coke: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [06:56] mgolisch: it's configured in network manager [06:56] Coke, share them correct specs, would you? [06:56] ReXHaviK: what are you talking about? [06:56] what specs? [06:57] I have an ASUS G53SX and it has a backlit keyboard, but it doesn't work with ubuntu 11.10. Does anyone have an ideas? [06:57] ReXHaviK: the network is in Edit connections with all the correct specs, but there's no option to start it. <-- them, you mentioned them [06:59] ReXHaviK: why would you need them? [06:59] Well, goode olde Debian method still works fine. I guess network manager is b0rked [06:59] fidel_ I would like to setup the server with the lastest php & Mysql that will work with Drupal. [06:59] Coke, i dont, i dont really care, you do, i thought? [06:59] ReXHaviK: no, the "specs" as you say don't matter. [06:59] what matters is that network manager does not bind the IP to eth0 [07:00] Rar9: are you planning to update to 12.04 shortly? [07:00] Coke, have a good evening, i have to go do my hair now [07:01] I have an ASUS G53SX and it has a backlit keyboard, but it doesn't work with ubuntu 11.10. Does anyone have an ideas? [07:01] Sevith: I'm totally unfamiliar with that model but check /sys/class/leds there may be a symlink there to whatever file controls the backlight [07:02] hey mensen [07:02] Rar9: the options i see is: jump to 12.04 vs install latest php manually on your 10.04 box vs find a ppa which brings 5.3.10 to 10.04 [07:02] but i really dont know which of those 3 options is best for you ;) [07:02] does anyone have a problem with unity when minimising windows? === tavasti` is now known as tavasti [07:02] vancha: define problem ;) [07:03] if i minimise a window (say google chrome) it is lost forever :O if i click the google chrome icon in the launcher, it just opens a new window fidel_ [07:03] tried alt+tab? [07:04] open your hsitory [07:04] and u can reopne your old pabs [07:04] yes alt tab does nothing, it does not show the window, it really just closes when i click minimise, but it DOES show an animation that looks like it gets put in the launcher [07:04] oh and u can change your chrome settings to restore your last session on startup [07:05] thx Rurd2di , but it happens on other applications too :) [07:05] Sevith, look at the correlation between acpi=off and backlit keyboards, seems from what i read you can have backlit but you lose something else due to running with the kernel in acpi off, or i got it all wrong [07:05] Nice. Stopping network kills the unity desktop, leaving me with no way to exit the system except power button. [07:06] ctrl+alt+backspace? no. [07:06] ReXHaviK: time for reinstall :) [07:06] somethings fucked [07:06] * ReXHaviK bought a nice cheap unlit keyboard [07:06] Rurd2di, no cursing here [07:07] My [07:07] fidel_ I don´t realy mind updateing.. as long at the 12.04 will still work with plesk 10 [07:09] Coke: disconnect the battery or the cable [07:09] is there any good reason that you can't use ctrl+alt+Fx keys in buntu? [07:10] Coke: try without ctrl [07:10] Coke: those should work afaik [07:10] well, I guess using the Debian networking stuff did a number on the system === glcrazy_ is now known as glcrazy [07:11] because unity died, but I had an xterm open so I could shutdown -r [07:11] regardless, Ubuntu still doesn't work with a wired connection using a static IPv4 address [07:11] I guess it's not common enough for them to put that feature into network manager. [07:11] Coke: it does in general - but yeah i had issues with network manager too in the past [07:12] fidel_: the issue is that there's no option to activate a specific network [07:12] Coke: it's common, and it works usually, ofcourse there's cases when something doesn't work as expected [07:12] * ReXHaviK has a static connection, managed by network manager, kubuntu 11.10 , works great [07:12] Tm_T: I cannot make network manager bind the IP [07:12] Coke: personaly i would go for cli & conf files ;) [07:12] fidel_: I did, upon networking restart unity died [07:12] Coke: well not using unity here - cant say anything unity related [07:12] Coke: so the gui for networkmanager you have in use doesn't have that option? [07:13] Tm_T: no [07:13] would forcing TRIM on an entire 16gb flash stick speed it up? [07:13] I've added the static network, but no way to start it [07:13] It's there... All setup. It just won't bind it to eth0 [07:13] it there a way to return it to a fast state? [07:13] also does CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP actually help with desktop. ie stopping sound from skipping under load === NotKruz is now known as VunKruz [07:15] G'day, all. [07:17] Anyone know why I can't install a package on plain lucid32 until I've done an apt-get dist-upgrade? https://gist.github.com/2469318 [07:18] (It's rabbitmq-server, from a PPA, but still: why would this not work on lucid32 out of the box, but work after dist-upgrade?) === chris_ is now known as Guest87189 [07:28] I have a server with lvm (on a datacenter). I want to move the data to another pv. The doc sais (and is probably obligated to) to back up the system, but is it generally unsafe or is it just a precaution? [07:28] I'm not trying to talk myself out of taking backup, but should I expect the pv move to fail? [07:29] sveinse, since you brought it up now it will fail, do the backup [07:30] hehe, yes, of course... [07:33] hello.. is anyone here using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version [07:33] how can i make an application-launcher in ubuntu 11.10 with unity?

[07:50] can anybody explain thsi to me [07:50] If it's recommended to install self-compiled libraries in /usr/local/lib, why isn't /usr/local/lib in the linker search path by default?

[07:54] <[deXter]> malvika, Just use NAT on VMware, and don't bother with wifi [07:54] <[deXter]> Unless you're having a USB wifi adapter, in which case you can pass it thru the guest OS [07:54] deXter its not working with nat too [07:55] <[deXter]> malvika, Tried bridged mode? [07:55] DExter yes i tried bridged mode too [07:55] Dexter and i am using college wifi [07:55] <[deXter]> malvika, Well have you tried VirtualBox? [07:56] Dexter nope [07:56] <[deXter]> Yep, I know you're using college Wifi. BIT, to be exact. :) [07:57] Is there some way to update just one single package out of ubuntu to a newer dist? [07:57] <[deXter]> malvika, I would recommend VirtualBox, it works out of the box with Windows as a host and Ubuntu as guest. No need to configure the adapters manually [07:57] For example I'm using 10.04... i installed this verison specifically so i could build 10.04 binaries [07:57] dexter k [07:57] however i'm now finding my cmake appears to require a slightly newer version of cmake than i have [07:57] my cmake script does, i mean [07:57] mcc, *maybe* apt-get install [07:59] mmm, or dpkg -i [07:59] c0rnel, it says i have the newest version [07:59] c0rnel: i think because i do have the newest version, for 10.04? [07:59] <[deXter]> mcc, Problem is that you could break other apps that require an older version of cmake [07:59] how do i uninstall ubuntu from boot install along side windows 7 [08:00] dexter: probably true, except (1) i'm about to do that anyway only worse when i install cmake from source, and (2) i only set up this linux vm in the first place to build one program [08:00] <[deXter]> mcc, Then you could manually download the deb for the newer cmake and install it [08:00] that sounds great [08:01] can i just get that from the ubuntu website or something? [08:01] mcc, also you may wanna make a backup of the vm files, just in case :) [08:01] yeah [08:01] maybe i should install from source anyway just so I can install to ~/usr :/ [08:03] hi, anyone could recommend me a 3d rendering software? [08:03] ...blender? [08:03] anything else?

I access the server using realvnc, but I found out that if it doesn't have a monitor attached, Ubuntu doesnt boot [08:43] aLBa^, Did you install a GUI for the server? [08:43] I found a guide that says to configer a monitor device in xorg.conf ( I believe), but now it doesnt boot nor does it when I attach a monitor [08:43] I installed the desktop version [08:46] just found this: http://skerit.com/en/computer/english-vnc-x11-session-on-ubuntu-12-04-server-without-monitor-or-graphics-card/ [08:48] Lo, I've always had a long standing issue (Ubuntu 9.04 through to 11.10) where if my laptop lid is closed for a while, when I open it back up the cursor starts spontaneously right clicking for about 15 minutes.

[09:58] chiliblue: Not sure if you got this before, but: 06:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) [09:58] And it just disconnected again, but luckily quickly reconnected... [09:58] mint: well then... checked foremost, not sure if that would recover full dir-trees === seergiu is now known as seeergiu-dev [09:59] ok, I use a BCM4313 [09:59] chiliblue: J/w, is it possible to just install Windows without overwriting the GRUB bootloader (without having to come back into Ubuntu)? [10:00] llutz: foremost... had you try it? [10:00] mint: nope, i have backups :) [10:01] :) [10:01] DanDan95, not something I have done before to be honest, personally I would make a back up boot disc to get me back in to ubuntu. [10:01] mint: Do you know if it's possible to? [10:01] chiliblue: Mmk. [10:02] Sorry, but I'm just fed up. Constantly drops, never used to. Even on my most recent Windows it never dropped, had a perfect connection. My sister, two rooms further away from the router than I can maintain a connection. I've come here for a couple of days now and nobody bothers to help. I've googled and searched around to no avail. [10:02] DanDan95: no. the winX reinstallation overwrite the boot sector so you'll lost grub loader [10:02] Frankly I'm just fed up, sorry FOSS community. [10:02] DanDan95: windows always will overwrite the MBR, so you'll have to recover grub somehow [10:03] mint / llutz : Okay, well, thanks. [10:03] DanDan95, what wifi chip are you using? [10:03] DanDan95, have you got the STA drivers installed [10:03] tizbac: BCM4311 [10:03] chiliblue: STA? [10:04] Broadcom STA WIreless Drivers [10:04] You mean proprietary drivers? No, Ubuntu blacklisted them for some reason. [10:04] b43 afaik needs proprietary drivers to work best [10:04] I have them installed [10:04] So I had to install via firmware-b43-fwcutter [10:04] in 11.10 and they work fine [10:04] with proper drivers b43 chips are the best ones under linux [10:04] chiliblue: And how long have yuo been using Ubuntu? I'm unable to download them from the Ubuntu servers via the Additional Drivers GUI, and so are several other people. [10:05] for this reason they are used on most android phones and routers [10:05] /var/log/jockey.log states that they're "blacklisted". [10:05] DanDan95, unblacklist them then [10:05] DanDan, ubuntu a few years, linux generally since 1995 [10:05] blacklist files are under /etc/modprobe.d [10:05] tizbac: Yeah, idk how. [10:05] this install, september [10:06] DanDan95, maybe it is an energy saving problem >>> http://davidcortijo.wordpress.com/2012/01/23/ubuntu-11-10-avoid-wireless-network-energy-management/ [10:06] # replaced by b43 and ssb.

[10:08] Do I have to restart or..? [10:08] neurotech: Irssi or XChat. [10:08] chiliblue / tizbac: Should I uninstalled firmware-b43-fwcutter? [10:09] restart network I would think would do it [10:09] Before going into Additional Drivers and installing the "proper" driver? [10:09] Ohk. [10:09] How would I go about doing that? [10:09] Hi, network-manager used to store connections in gconf back in 10.04 days. Upon upgrade to 12.04 they live in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ [10:09] Question: How to migrate information from gconf to /etc/Network-manager ? [10:09] no , you need to load bcm43xx [10:09] if you are unsure , just reboot [10:10] tizbac: And if my internet no longer connects? [10:10] use a cable [10:10] If only it was that easy.. [10:10] it should connect [10:11] Anyways, bbl, restarting. [10:11] hi [10:11] using the cutter stuff, then when you get connected install the additional drivers === christop1 is now known as cruztof [10:12] What are the packages responsible for mounting iOS filesystems in Ubuntu?

[10:22] that is the problem i guess [10:22] hi......I have a problem with a icon pack.Workspace switcher icon is not displayed .How should I change the theme pack? [10:22] maybe she is downloading [10:22] tizbac: No, I checked. [10:23] Wait, nvm, it isn't slow via ethernet. Just from my frustration from all of this. [10:24] tizbac: What can I do?

[10:32] tizbac: Please? :-/ [10:32] Mayazcherquoi, all i can suggest you is trying to switch drivers [10:32] using modprobe [10:33] and modprobe -r [10:33] I don't know how1 [10:33] see what works better [10:33] and blacklist others [10:33] modprobe b43 [10:33] for example [10:33] if it sucks , then modprobe -r b43 [10:33] and modprobe wl [10:33] etc [10:33] tizbac: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] Okay, thank you. [10:34] I just did modprobe b43, and it can now detect networks but it won't conncect to the router lol, even though it's right next to it. [10:34] bcm4311 is used on the wrt54gl , so it works perfectly under linux [10:34] since linux 2.4 [10:34] i was wonder if it was ok now to chage sources list and upgrade? [10:34] Umm [10:34] tizbac: FATAL: Module wl not found., when attempting modprobe wl [10:35] then try bcm43xx [10:35] FATAL: Module bcm43xx not found. [10:35] ouch, broadcom [10:35] ! broadcom | Mayazcherquoi [10:35] Mayazcherquoi: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [10:36] soreau: Do you not think I've tried that already? [10:36] Mayazcherquoi: I don't know what you have or have not tried already [10:36] I came here with issues with my net stuffing up constantly (yes, after those wireless drivers were installed), since it was at crawl speeds and had intermittent drops and I was asking how to fix it or change any configs. [10:37] Then I was told to install the STA wireless drivers, and I had to unblacklist them because they initially were. restarted, tried to, lost wireless. Now getting it back again. === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [10:37] Mayazcherquoi: Change your wifi card. Broadcom sucks :) [10:37] soreau: If only it were that easy... [10:38] hello! [10:38] howdy [10:38] Is there a way to have the Unity sidebar never show unless i hit Super? [10:39] How can I uninstall the network manager and try wicd instead? [10:39] i downloaded a file from the net and i want to install it but i dunno how? how can i install it from the terminal? i downloaded playonlinux file [10:39] Mayazcherquoi: You can stop the network-manager service and nm-applet, then start wicd [10:39] Fat-Thing: In terminal, cd to the directory where you installed it. Then, type ./playonlinux (or whatever the name is). [10:40] E: Unable to locate package nm-applet :-/ [10:40] Mayazcherquoi: It's a process. Check 'ps ax|grep nm-applet' [10:40] hello. still no way to install gnome 2 in ubuntu 12.04 ? [10:41] Yeah, it's there [10:41] Mayazcherquoi: You can use 'kill $PID' or 'killall nm-applet' [10:41] nm-applet: no process found [10:41] :-/ [10:42] Mayazcherquoi: To stop network-manager, just run sudo service network-manager stop [10:42] :-/ [10:42] It's gone from my notification area now [10:42] Mayazcherquoi: Then if 'ps ax|grep NetworkMananger|grep -v grep' shows nothing, you can try wicd [10:42] I just started the wicd service. [10:42] All is OK [10:43] Mayazcherquoi, but is your connection any better [10:43] chiliblue: I'm on ethernet, so yeah. [10:43] lol [10:43] Only 3 days until the release of the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS!!!

[10:46] Mayazcherquoi: Yes, unless you script it to automate when you start up [10:46] Omg this is ridiculous. [10:47] Hello. to be able to build an application i need "gdk_pixbuf-2.0" but i cant find that package in apt-cache - any tips please? [10:47] Mayazcherquoi: It's not ridiculous, ubuntu doesn't use wicd by default. If you want to use it, you have to install and configure it === magentar_ is now known as magentar [10:47] Cya guys, thanks for everything. I appreciate it, I really do. :) But Linux just isn't my computers preference :-/ [10:47] Peace. [10:47] peace [10:47] soreau: May not be, but still crappy wireless support ;) [10:48] peace on you! [10:48] is it ok to upgarde at this point by amending sources file? [10:48] Mayazcherquoi, to be honest worked out of the box on this device, [10:48] Mayazcherquoi: The reason braodcom isn't supported well is because braodcom doesn't release their hardware spec so someone can write a decent driver for it [10:48] Maybe so. [10:48] Mayazcherquoi: It's not linux fault that proprietary companies don't release hw specs, such as broadcom and nvidia [10:49] am back [10:49] Mhmm [10:49] patr|ck: the package you are looking for is called libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev [10:49] Mayazcherquoi: So it's not crappy wireless support, every other chip than broadcom mostly works great [10:49] without installing any additional driver [10:49] he isn't worthy to use the almighty linux, not yet [10:50] christhisisgool, this package does not exist on my Ubuntu 10.04 [10:50] oh. in that case its probably because you are on an outdated system. ( not technically speaking, it still has some life left in it, but some packages are available only on the more up to date systems) [10:51] so if i were you i would either try and update your system, or i would just download the source code from somewhere. [10:52] patr|ck: i found a site that has the source code if you still need it: http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Libraries/gdk-pixbuf-58007.shtml [10:52] thank you!

[10:57] tar: xz: Cannot exec: No such file or directory [10:57] it requires the binary for whatever the format handles [10:58] hey all can anyone help me make my connection secure please [10:58] patr|ck, im not sure what the actual package name is, but its something along the line of xz utils [10:58] lzma is the name i suppose? [10:58] so do apt-cache search xz-utils and then install it [11:00] patr|ck: btw, this appears to be a known bug. there are several bug reports on this issue. the solution is generally to actually install the xz utils === Zorro is now known as Guest76648 [11:00] How do I prevent windows from opening maximized in Ubuntu Classic?

GreekFreak [12:44] zykotick9: but next time, cd will be easier ;) [12:44] geekbri: why not just type cd /media/whatever instead of cd ..'ing repeatedly? [12:44] I'm new to Ubuntu, but would a shortcut be a recommended workaround? [12:44] GreekFreak: what is it's full path? rather then using "cd .." could you "cd /path/to/folder"? [12:45] GreekFreak: and you can hit Tab to auto-complete the hexadecimal code, of course [12:45] GreekFreak: and in case you just want to cd in to that *hẽ*, you can use the key [12:45] hi everyone :) i'm reposting question if anyone could help !! :) i rebooted once my ubuntu because it stopped responding, and since that, i can no longer start gdm ( i'm starting xdm), have no longer net, sound and media mouting on my XDM, when i try to run gdm i got this ** (gdm-binary:1852): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /usr/local/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused [12:45] because it's full path is "/media/3E18014B1801041D" [12:45] GreekFreak: +1 on LjL TAB suggestion [12:45] GreekFreak: do type cd /me TAB 3E TAB [12:45] s/do/so/ [12:46] GreekFreak: using Stanley00's LABEL suggestion would change the UID 3E18014B1801041D to something readable [12:47] I'll into Stanley00 's label.

[13:12] ManDay, wayland is in the next release.but its still a testing type stage. [13:12] its in the repos at least. [13:12] i can not install drivrer for CNet CQU-906 [13:13] dexel99, and what is that device exactly? [13:13] Dr_Willis: Yeah, I'm just curious how much Canonical will get involved with pushing development forward [13:13] it's my wireless network adapter via usb [13:14] dexel99, you should try to determine what chipset its using. also the forums or askubuntu.com Might have some info for that exact model dongle. [13:14] download revoke.crl from cacert.org and copy to appropiate dir [13:14] 'its all about the chipset' :) [13:14] i try the solution from ubuntuforum...but it still not working [13:19] ok guys. thank your for support :) [13:19] test [13:19] it's working fine [13:19] ta [13:20] Would anyone want to help me with a small little command?

I'm an rsync noob, so can't really help. FYI if you are using 12.04 you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 (12.04 isn't supported here) but really you should check if there is an rsync channel. [13:23] theres proberly whole books written about rsync :) [13:23] rsync is awesome [13:23] I know, ive been reading the man pages, but some of it just isnt working the way Im reading it as [13:23] APoulos: if i where you i might test ".. --exclude=Videos ..." myself. [13:23] when in doubt check delicious.com for 'rsync tutorial' tags. :) i tend to get better hits there then google [13:24] such as? [13:24] Dr_Willis, zykotick9 I've been trying to get the bloody thing to quit creating that folder. [13:24] MrUnagi, such as some exclusion params dont have examples [13:24] Hey everyone!

[13:27] 4.1 of esx to 5.0 of esxi [13:27] copied the vm over basically [13:28] Quick and easy question... will 12.04 beta 2 eventually just update to the 12.04 release or is there actually a need to installed 12.04 final when it is released? [13:28] blaine00: it will update to the final [13:28] !final | blaine00 [13:28] blaine00: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. [13:28] and even reading some of the man pages, there aren't very direct examples.. [13:29] awesome, that is what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. Thanks everyone! [13:29] how much faster is the alternate ubuntu than the desktop [13:30] MrUnagi: if you mean the alternate cd - it's the same, after install?

[13:32] so that i don't have to forward a bunch of ports [13:32] Dr_Willis, the only way out of this predicament is that I must specific /home/alex/Videos ? no shortcuts like "~/Videos/ [13:34] I have a question, maybe you can help me? [13:34] Dr_Willis, ah well it still made the folder.. rsync --progress -rEog --exclude="/home/alex/Videos" /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/ [13:35] !ask | mm_ [13:35] mm_: 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).

[13:44] zykotick9: 11.10 virtualbox [13:44] MrUnagi: ? i'd think that should work [13:45] its crashed with desktop and alternate [13:45] Walther: I think so, but I think it may depend on what graphics card etc that you have [13:45] mm_, yes, jpeg is fine, upload to imgur.com [13:45] hi every one [13:46] anyone know if there will be a easy conversion process to x64 should it become default for 12.04? [13:46] astrolite: from what I've heard, Ubuntu (as in, Ubuntu) is being built for ARMv7 upwards, was just wondering if the Ubuntu Core would be possible to port to ARMv6 === Wicet|2 is now known as Wicet [13:46] looks like i spoke too soon, the sysinfo says it's ubuntu 11.10(oneiric) gnome 2.32.1 kernel 3.0.0-17 generic. loading screen says xbuntu though.

[13:47] mm_, is your login setup to automatic? [13:47] I would like for wine on 64bit to be fixed for release, or at least in time for diablo 3 *holds thumbs* [13:48] MrUnagi, you using a 32 bit guest type? [13:48] yes [13:48] crypted: 64bit has been around for years and is working very well [13:48] auronandace: i know that. however, the default iso has been 32. [13:48] because not all apps/packages were ready in the prior release, we went with 32 for our church. [13:48] alright guys, I'm having one hell of a time trying to get this directory backed up without the /videos/ directory [13:49] i'm trying to determine an easier conversion method without flat redoing it all. [13:49] figure i wont even attempt it now [13:49] stick w/ old school [13:49] this is so far what I've found out: --exclude $HOME/Videos/ /home/alex /media/backup/12.04-Precise-backup_4.23.2012/ [13:49] doesnt work [13:49] still makes the folder [13:49] crypted: what apps do you require that are 32bit only? [13:49] crypted, since 11.10 64 bit is multi-arch. [13:49] so does /home/alex/Videos/ - and ~/Videos/ [13:49] good to know about multi-arch. auronandace: none that i am aware of anymore [13:50] can someone PULLLLEEEEZZZEEE help me with this?

[13:53] the rest get upgraded away [13:54] compdoc: starting with 12.04 support is 5 years [13:54] well compdoc my issue is that these later versions are so different and i don't nor do any of the users here find them friendly at all. the interfaces are not friendly at all. everyone is used to true functionality and ease of use. no drop down menu options, this is terrible. [13:54] i know where the config files are that we need. my next issue is dpkg. i assume that i can dump and restore the oldl ist upon reinstalling w/ x64? [13:55] somethinginteres: guess the question isnt really ubuntu-specific - maybe ask in the #libre channel [13:55] ok. it's up there. http://imagebin.org/209356 [13:55] any one can help to make partition image of xubunto, to install other machines...without installation.... [13:55] it would be so pleasant if ubuntu devs created a classic view option...maybe they have, but i can't locate it. the new interface is so unfriendly.

[13:56] sambagirl, many ppl feel that way, but you can get used to it. They are still improving Unity, so it might get better [13:56] sambagirl: if you want something similar to old gnome as in 10.x, try xfce window manager [13:56] Oer: uncertain. [13:56] thanks @ all.

[13:57] hello everyone.. === aceps is now known as usb-help [13:57] crypted: a fresh install is always easier [13:57] HI!! [13:58] that is why we stay at 10.10 because it's functional. it's like going to the cpanel in windows xp and you can modify it to classic view. just like windows 7 and 8 are so aweful so is vista, because users wants and needs and desires are ignored and the powers that be want to manipulate and force feed us stuff we dont like and yet expect us not to speak up about it? [13:58] sambagirl: can't live without gnome2 eh? [13:58] sambagirl, it will still run, but I guess they no longer update it [13:58] Hi.

[17:33] Somelauw: there is a PPA that has version 7.0.1. If you wan't 7.1.x, you'll probably have to compile [17:33] thebilgerat: how are you setting the colorscheem? [17:33] I suppose if I got rid of the interface configuration for eth0 it would work skip that part of the boot process, but then I'd lose the ability to use eth0 when I needed it [17:33] Hello anyone [17:33] Um [17:33] Newb here.

You can even choose to install it locally in your /home/yourname directory. Installation suth 'sudo' will put it in /opt I think and make it acessable for all user.

Install those from the CLI, then the desktop will run properly. [17:37] Its as if there is no right click button. [17:37] theadmin: i don't even need desktop [17:37] Gotestra: I see, sounds like something to do with the trackpad [17:37] MrUnagi: where did it hang on boot [17:37] MrUnagi: Try the minimal/server CD then? [17:37] I have the same file open in gvim and vim. if i set "colorscheme elflord" in both, they are NOT the same colorscheme [17:37] No, it works fine with Windows 7.

[17:37] thebilgerat: what are the differences? [17:38] thebilgerat: colorschemes set different colors depending on whether you're in vim or gvim [17:38] MrUnagi: so you cant even get to init 1? [17:38] thebilgerat: keep in mind your terminal color pallette is not what gvim is using [17:38] Gotestra: There might be restricted drivers available for your hardware, check it [17:38] celthunder: just hangs [17:38] no prompt [17:38] thebilgerat: I think a lot of the default vim colorschemes assume only something like 8 or 16 colors in terminal [17:38] if he's using non-default terminal colors it'll look different [17:38] theadmin, I would really appreciate it if you ellaborate more. [17:38] Gotestra: (to do so, visit the "Hardware Drivers" in the main menu) [17:39] aah! that could be the issue. Its just a niggling one, I sure appreciate your help [17:39] thadmin, in System Settings? [17:39] thebilgerat: use ":color" to check what colorscheme is loaded. Also there are plenty of colorschemes that cater to 256-color terminals, check them out :) [17:39] Gotestra: Is that where it is now? Haven't seen Ubuntu in a while. But, well, there's... Gah. Hit Ctrl-alt-T, type "gksudo jockey-gtk" in, hit Enter. [17:39] MrUnagi: what do you have starting on that runlevel and ...if you cant get to init 1 then you probably have some odd hw or perhaps need to load or unload a kernel module. [17:40] Gotestra: yes. [17:40] excellent - thanks jrib! It may seem silly, but I get persnickety when I expect my code tags to be a certain color :) [17:40] celthunder: i personally didn't put anything on any runlevel [17:40] Um, I see nothing of the sort there, [17:40] celthunder: ill just try server [17:40] celthunder: Ubuntu has no runlevel 1, infact Ubuntu has only 3 runlevels pretty much - 0, 6 and 1-5 which are all *identical* [17:40] I see an "Additional Drivers" [17:40] Gotestra: "Additional Drivers" [17:41] Yes. [17:41] Gotestra: Yeah that'd be it. [17:41] Ok. [17:41] hello folks [17:41] thebilgerat: if you like white text on gray background, I can recommend inkpot and zenburn. Another popular one nowadays is solarized [17:41] I'm actually updating tons right no [17:41] *now [17:41] So, I'll try that later.

[18:05] luna: 12.04 support is in #ubuntu+1 :) [18:06] I want to make sure that ubuntu works without Java runtime. [18:06] ezoe: which programs depends on java? [18:06] !beta | luna [18:06] luna: If you install a development version of Ubuntu Precise and keep up with package updates, then you will be upgraded to the official release of 12.04 when it comes out. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a terminal. Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1. [18:06] ezoe: It does. LibreOffice will break though. [18:06] bkc_: tk u [18:07] I can live without LibreOffice, But I don't want to disable some GUI system setting tools if there is any. [18:07] ezoe: Nah, the only Java-based soft that comes with ubuntu is LO if I recall right. [18:07] ezoe: If you're using gnome all settings-tools are build with gtk :) [18:08] for kde it's Qt [18:08] theadmin: there isn't much left in libreoffice that depends on java [18:08] hmm. that's good to know. I'll consider removing OpenJDK when 12.04 released. and, Mono too. [18:08] libreoffice works mostly fine without java [18:08] auronandace: Oh is that so? Haven't checked in a while, last I tried it threw like 30 warnings at me before starting, EVERY time [18:08] Really? [18:08] only base and some most stupid expansions like zemberek need it [18:09] does anyone know where too find a list of the things LO depends on java? [18:09] I thought LibreOffice is a successor of OpenOffice and it was written in Java. [18:09] ezoe: not fully no [18:09] ezoe: it's a re-written fork/copy of OOo, not a successor [18:09] Problem here. My brightness is not going down. [18:09] Help. [18:09] apt-cache rdepnds shows me many libreoffice related components depends on openjre. [18:11] ezoe, that is stupidity of maintainers. [18:11] if that troubles you, install the real libreoffice from its homepage [18:12] well, I don't use libreoffice right now. so I can bare without it. [18:12] Be right back. [18:12] Gotestra: what kind of GPU? For intel, this might help http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&keywords=openjdk-7-jre [18:12] Gotestra: sorry ;) http://www.circuidipity.com/daniel.2011-04-05.intel_backlight_grub.html [18:13] Um [18:13] Newbie question: [18:13] How do I use those? [18:14] Gotestra: Those what? === elfy1 is now known as nothingspecial [18:14] Packages. [18:14] I started used Ubuntu barely 6 hours ago. [18:14] hmm [18:15] What is the best text-based e-mail client? [18:15] LmAt: mutt or pine [18:15] Pici: THanks! [18:15] Gotestra: A package is just a technical term for something you can install from the software center... [18:15] Oh. [18:15] I tried, but not actually perform, apt-get purge to see what packages will be removed. LibreOffice is not listed. [18:16] How about those things you have to install using the command line [18:16] .tghz or whatever. [18:16] Gotestra: Don't touch those until you know what you're doing. [18:16] Gotestra: Those are compressed archives... like zip files. [18:16] !software | Gotestra [18:16] Gotestra: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [18:16] Gotestra: Well... Packages may contain applications or depending libraries; certainly other things to. In newer ubuntu version, the software center and the update-manager manager them for you... [18:16] Oh. [18:17] Wow I have a lot to learn. [18:17] Gotestra: It's mostly source-code -- some tarballs are binary but that's rare. ALWAYS look in the software center before installing anything in a crazy way (tarballs are a crazy way) [18:17] :o [18:17] is software-center finally fixed in precise? [18:17] Well, not "crazy", just not recommended. [18:17] Lint: What do you mean by "fixed", it works just fine in Oneiric, even. [18:17] I remember using tarball on my iPod Touch, I used a Unix terminal command for installing crazy stuff. [18:18] Thanks btw [18:18] 11.10 version is unusable [18:18] ubuntu uses systemd? [18:18] Lint: precise is offtopic [18:18] simplew: Hah I wish, no, Ubuntu uses Upstart. [18:18] theadmin: why doesnt use systemd? [18:18] oCean: 11.10 is oneiric. [18:18] Lint: unusable how? [18:18] simplew: That's about the same as asking why it doesn't use KDE, for instance -- developer choice, that's all [18:18] oCean: oops, misread. [18:19] np [18:19] well seams i will not use ubuntu [18:19] it hangs constantly and fails to query installation/deinstallation properly [18:19] and of course it is an order of magnitude slower than synaptic [18:19] Lint: hangs constantly? my xubunu 11.10 is solid as a rock [18:19] can i ask here software doubts? [18:20] k014: Depends on what you mean... [18:20] Lint: oh, just the software centre? sorry, i only use synaptic [18:20] Lint: Software center is written in Python, making it quite a resource hog, I don't think they're going to "fix" that. [18:21] for example, now i am in a mac OSX (snow leopard) at my the office…. using ADIUM, i wanted to know if there is any software in ubuntu to join irc servers that have the same look and feel that hadium have [18:21] k014: Pidgin (Adium is a direct clone of Pidgin) [18:21] GREAT, thank you [18:21] but, i gonna give a try first to irsii [18:21] is really difficult for me, but i cant console solutions [18:21] :D [18:22] k014: It's "irssi", and you won't like it if you're not a fan of CLI [18:24] Hi there, can anyone tell me if 12.04 bring gnome 3 or unity? [18:24] cyrusgod: unity is gnome 3 [18:24] cyrusgod: both, unity is a shell on top of gnome3 [18:24] cyrusgod: unity is the desktop shell for all ubuntu release. [18:24] Pici: I can't figure it out. Which is better, mutt or pine? [18:25] k014: But if you love a terminal, it could give you something like this... http://imagebin.org/209387 [18:25] cyrusgod: we do have gnome-shell as well though [18:25] LmAt: I personally prefer mutt. But ymmv. [18:25] LmAt: better is subjective [18:25] ello ello [18:25] now i am fine with CLI, i use vim dialy, but i am looking for a irc cli client, that let me see user list in realtime…. seems like irssi can do that but not in a easy way [18:25] Pici: One thing is that the mutt channel has people in it. [18:25] auronandace: Not always. [18:25] Moon_Doggy: Congratulations. [18:25] k014: You can look on scripts.irssi.org for a script which'd do that [18:25] ikonia: trism Thnks [18:26] i need help editing the .bashrc [18:26] k014: #irssi is also active and helpful. [18:26] Moon_Doggy: With what exactly? [18:26] LmAt, ??? congratulations? [18:26] Moon_Doggy: Congrats on making it to #ubuntu!!

[18:43] is there any planing to change into Systemd? or ubuntu will continue with upstart? [18:43] nope [18:43] try that. [18:43] alright [18:43] simplew: Ubuntu will continue with upstart for at least 5 years. [18:44] bekks: but why, when systemd offers more stability, beneficts and options ? [18:44] bekks: Where is that date coming from? [18:44] theadmin: Thats how long 12.04 will be supported, whoch uses upstart. :) === jacques_ is now known as Guest11402 [18:44] fedora did changed from upstrart into Systemd [18:45] simplew: I don't think Fedora ever used Upstart, it's an Ubuntu project. [18:45] Ammar_: sounds like you still have the windows xp install iso still mounted. [18:45] simplew: Far as I recall they only used the good old SysV Init earlier [18:45] theadmin: yes they did [18:45] theadmin: all i get when I right click is "launch" "properties" ubuntu 9 allows the simple right click but not ubuntu 11.10 [18:45] simplew: Huh. Guess I missed it. [18:46] Ghost_Berry: Some icons are pinned by default and unremovable, no idea what to do about them. Most of them can be removed though === EsoRottica_ is now known as EsoRottica [18:46] then Fedora switched to Systemd that offered much beneficts [18:46] simplew: Why do *you* need systemd? [18:46] theadmin: its the icons I have added but i am unable to remove as I did easily in the previous version [18:46] im used to systemd, and its very reliabe [18:46] theadmin: thanks for trying [18:47] simplew: Okay, so no reason, except "I'm used to it". There is no way Upstart is not "reliable". [18:47] and i been checking the pros and crons in distros, to see which distro i will use [18:47] @EsoRottica thanks :D it worked! === MadSweeney is now known as Guest60702 [18:47] theadmin: i have been reading severall pages about upstart and systemd [18:48] Anyone have experience with the DisplayLink USB Video adapter?

[18:49] !info systemd [18:49] Package systemd does not exist in oneiric [18:49] theadmin: not that im against upstart, im was just trying to understand the why using a certain app where there is a better option [18:49] Oh, huh. [18:49] Thought we had it... [18:49] theadmin: is simple as that? [18:49] theadmin: we don't have systemd in ubuntu, it is in debian though [18:49] simplew: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd [18:50] simplew: Some instructions there [18:50] simplew, please. take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [18:50] trism: Ah, I see. [18:50] does upstart works as systemd? doesnt packages need to have a proper scriptlets for systemd? [18:50] Hi! May I have a question regarding ubuntu installation, in case of dual boot, spiced a little bit of SSD sector alignment? [18:51] bazhang: but this i think is not that off topic, im trying to undesrtand a matter about upstart [18:51] ##C++ [18:51] theadmin: ok thanks for tips [18:52] theadmin: can you just tell me if debian uses systemd or upstart? [18:52] running ubuntu 8.04 LTS server and need libutempter-dev in order to build mosh from source. However, libutempter-dev does not appear to be apart of ubuntu 8.04. How might one aquire such a library for an older release of ubuntu? [18:52] anyone know what common issues prevent suspending? [18:53] simplew: I've honestly never used debian myself [18:53] simplew: I'm an Arch user, and configuring systemd on Arch is rather simple (even though it's not the default) [18:53] simplew: But that is way offtopic. [18:53] Any recommended console musicplayers which support samba? [18:54] so, is my question offtopic about proper setup for SSD with ubuntu/win partition? [18:54] Binsh: Just mount the samba share, and every music player will support it. [18:54] bekks: hmmkay, ive had some trouble with amarok and banshee :S [18:55] zanberdo, i think you'd have to acquire the source and build it on your system, the earliest (currently supported) release it exists in is Lucid, you could try to build that package from source (although its likely you won't have the prereqs) [18:55] dudeeg: what's your question ? [18:55] rather... anyone know why pm_trace doesnt work? [18:55] s/likely/possible/ [18:55] dudeeg: It is not. But if you already have a ntfs alignment settings, maybe you should resize the partition you want to use for ubuntu with the windows tools. [18:56] hello, in ubuntu 11 under unity2d, the files/home icon/button that lets u browse ur disk is nautilus, right ? [18:56] EvilResistance, thanks. that's the approach I am taking (building from scratch). I'm just not sure if most ./configure or make will find what it needs if I merely build and deploy utempter. Guess I'll se.. :) [18:56] ikonia: I've read on several forums that the SSD partitions should be aligned in a way that the start sector number should be divisible by 8 in order to reduce the unnecessary load [18:56] ikonia: so, I'd like to have one SSD with ubuntu and win7 on it [18:56] dudeeg: I don't believe that, but the guys in ##hardware may know more for certain [18:56] dudeeg: ok, so just partition it up in partitions /8 [18:57] zanberdo, couldnt tell you, but you could look at the dependencies of the package as it exists in Lucid, see what programs it needs. Of course, the program won't build if the correct prereqs dont exist, so... :P [18:57] dudeeg: IMHO that is correct and I did it like that. [18:57] dudeeg, I doubt the ssd card will show overall a perfect sized cylinders anyway. [18:57] ikonia: so the proper approach is to boot in using the liveCD, and then create two partitions (ntfs/ext4) with a proper start sector count? [18:58] EvilResistance, yeah. thanks. that's pretty much what I figured. I was actually fishing to see if there is/was some other means through which I could install. Just being lazy. :) [18:58] dudeeg: just use the installer, [18:58] dudeeg: I'd do more research before bothering with that /8 stuff, but it's up to you [18:58] zanberdo, someone could in theory try to backport the package from lucid, but i have no idea whether that'd work or not (its possible it wouldnt, and i'm not exactly able to help test, even though I do occasionally backport things within PPAs) === pp7 is now known as malkauns [18:58] dudeeg: If you use a clean ssd, the installer should handle it the correct way... [18:59] ikonia: okay, lets put that away now. So if I am done with the partitions and I install Ubuntu, and then later on I install win7, then I need to reload the grub into the MBR. Is that right? [19:00] EvilResistance, thanks for the feedback. I think I'll take a stab at building it from source on target server and see what happens when I attempt to build mosh. [19:00] dudeeg: correct, it's better to install windows first if possible [19:00] ikonia: okay, thank you for your help [19:01] by the way. Is there a summary somewhere that shows the major upgrades in the new release that is coming soon? I am having 11.10 now [19:03] dudeeg: That could be a good start https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2 [19:04] anyone know if it's possible to remap keyboard Fn function key to use as a standalone button? [19:04] kx: that would be cool [19:05] yep [19:05] minimec: thx! [19:06] kx: It doesn't produce a keycode by itself, so unlikely.

[19:24] bekks, root has 1.4G left, I cleaned out all the dowloaded packages [19:24] bkc: I already love God...and what should I use [19:24] NurseDad: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Glxgears_is_not_a_Benchmark [19:24] I feel like a idiot today [19:24] bekks I need to remove a few kernels as there are about 20 installed, however apt-get won't let me do anything [19:24] NurseDad: under "5. Real Benchmarks" [19:24] bkc: ok [19:25] kurtul: have you set up google-talk correcly? [19:25] yes i have [19:25] bekks, I'm a little rusty on cli, and used to be able to fix this kind of stuff. [19:26] shanemini: Then first run sudo apt-get clean [19:26] bekks, did that, I'll do it again [19:26] Check disk space again :) [19:26] prailone: the default ip of your router might be different than 192.168.1.1... As you got an ip adress from the router, you seem to be connected to it correctly. I would reboot that machine and see if you again get an ip and if that one is different. [19:26] NurseDad, note that I only suggested using glxgears to verify direct rendering. :) === optikx is now known as frootloop [19:26] bekks, same old 1.4GB free [19:26] zanberdo: noted :) [19:27] shanemini: thats more than enough. [19:27] shanemini: Pastebin the output of df -h please [19:27] prailone: Do you have access to the router's admin panel form another computer? You could verify the connection then ... [19:27] NurseDad: zanberdo: please use "glxinfo | grep direct" next time, takes shorter time and less confusion ^^ [19:27] zanberdo: how do I confirm I am using the ATI property driver? [19:28] NurseDad: lsmod [19:28] bkc: that is what he had me do [19:28] lsmod | grep radeon [19:28] bekks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/943038/ [19:29] bkc: after that command what am I looking for [19:29] shanemini: You dont have a free space problem anymore :) === Timothy is now known as Taftse === wolf is now known as Guest69790 [19:30] NurseDad: if you get output for "radeon" then you're using radeon-driver (which I believe is the prop-blob) [19:30] bekks, just a second, I just realized she is using some old servers in the repo, I always set them to the USA, they are set to elsewhere [19:30] NurseDad: http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary [19:30] shanemini: Which Ubuntu version is that? [19:31] NurseDad: sorry, it's "lsmod | grep fglrx" for the proprietary driver :) [19:31] bekks, I'm not sure, it the last LTS release that came on the dell mini [19:31] bekks, so it is older [19:31] shanemini: You can check that with lsb_release -a [19:32] bekks, lucid, 10.04 [19:33] bekks, ok, I reset the software source to the USA, I'm updating and going to try again, that may have been the problem [19:33] bekks we lived out of the USA before, and the servers were set to the old country. [19:33] of which I never did really trust.

[19:34] Using proftpd [19:34] NurseDad: then you're using the proprietary driver :) [19:35] SupYoshi, if they are both Linux boxes, check out NFS, that is easy to setup [19:35] Hi, If I want to use ecryptfs only for a particular folder in my home directory, let's say ~/ubuntu one, is there a howto on the net for the steps to go? [19:35] bekks, seems to be downloading now, I think it was a repo error, not downloading correctly, there probably was a space issue too. [19:36] bkc: thank you for your help today [19:36] zanberdo: thank you for your help today [19:36] I'm curious if that will work on other folders than ~/.Private [19:37] I use "keycode 97 = Shift_L" with xmodmap, can someone please tell me how to do something similar with setxkbmap?

[19:39] !schedule | jatt [19:39] jatt: The Ubuntu Precise Pangolin release schedule can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [19:39] zanberdo: so 'glxinfo | grep -e "[D,d]irect"' would be correct ;) [19:40] bkc_: fyi using "grep -i direct" is case insensitive [19:40] shanemini: Whats the output of "df -i"? [19:40] bkc_, don't think the double-quotes is required, and the comma is superfluous IIRC [19:41] zykotick9: yes :) [19:41] bkc_, and then there is zykotick9 suggestion. :) [19:41] zanberdo: I'm used to perl-regex ^^ [19:41] ubotto, yes, but as far as I remember EncFs doesn't support symlinking, though I'm not sure about a EncFs vs. ecryptfs comparison.

[19:42] shanemini: ack. [19:42] bkc_, it definitely has it's strengths. [19:42] baizon, why would you think that? [19:42] bekks I'm not sure what to do though. [19:42] bekks, reboot?? [19:43] bkc_, but I fear a language war were we to debate pros and cons, and this aint the channel for that. :) [19:43] You are being CTCP flooded from Kaco, ignoring *!*@chello089173130011.chello.sk [19:43] baizon, and you spelled "are you" wrong [19:43] shanemini: No. That wont magically generate more space :) [19:43] baizon, lol flooded? i tested ctcp response ... i'm developing an irc client :) [19:43] bekks, inodes are full, I'm not sure what an inode is, shall I get a toothbrush, and start cleaning them out??? lol [19:43] baizon, isn't your irc client a little bit paranoid? [19:44] Kaco: so your a bad dev :D [19:44] err s/ubotto/wylde/ [19:44] shanemini: You could temporarily move things, like old stuff from /usr/src/ until you solved the error message above. [19:44] zanberdo: true ^^ [19:44] Then move it back, and delete the old kernels. [19:44] baizon, well IRC standard says that client should reply to CTCP, it doesn't say that client should be paranoid about ctcp request however [19:44] bekks, hmm, isn't there a way I can force deletion of old kernels, routing around the problem? [19:45] Kaco: ctcp is a method to DoS people [19:45] so it has its reason [19:45] baizon, Kaco: can we get back to Ubuntu support please? [19:45] baizon, well whole IRC protocl is shit :) [19:45] Pici: indeed, sorry === zsh4311 is now known as zsh4310 [19:45] shanemini: you could try to remove the old kernels. === pangolin is now known as quantal [19:45] Kaco: and please mind your language here as well. [19:45] apt-get purge theoldkernel [19:45] baizon, and doing DoS on IRC sounds pretty lame to me, it's not like Anonymous attacks :) [19:45] join #ubuntu-ru [19:46] bekks all my attempts at that have failed, I don't remember all the options to force stuff through [19:47] if i am going to set up world re-writable/shared media directories for all users, where do i have to put that to make it compatible with apparmor? [19:47] bekks, everything in /usr/src all seem to be softlinks [19:47] shanemini: Softlinks to what? [19:47] shanemini, /usr/src is not used very much [19:47] bekks, ohh, wait, not softlinks, they are folders [19:47] all 4k size [19:47] scientes: Execpt for headers and kernel sources. [19:48] shanemini: du -sh /usr/src/ [19:48] 4k is just the inode size of that directory entry. [19:49] shanemini: I had to do something similar earlier to a server I upgraded that hit 100% on /. I looked in /var/cache/apt/archives and removed the .deb package files from there to make a little space. Also, take a look at /var/log/*.gz [19:49] bekks, I just dumped them all to a new temp location on a different partition, I'm going to try it again, should be good now [19:49] IntuitiveNipple: "sudo apt-get clean" ;) [19:50] shanemini: Check with df -i :) [19:50] bekks: Same thing - I had to do a live online resize of / too [19:50] bekks, still moving it all [19:50] that was a lot of junk in there [19:51] bekks, ok, got it down to 92% now, still moving files === scialex is now known as YAY_I_GOT_IN === YAY_I_GOT_IN is now known as scialex [19:52] bekks, what is the inode? I would think if there are blocks left, then there is space left, that must not be true?? === quantal is now known as pangolin [19:53] shanemini: if you have a lot of small files you may run out of inode - every file needs/has one [19:53] *inodes [19:54] shanemini: an inode is an index-node and represents about a file directory or other object [19:54] shanemini: The inode is the entity holding the information about the name and the location of a file, and a lot more information. [19:54] bekks, ahh, it is the directory for the drive. [19:55] shanemini: It's like an index of a book, with a given maximum number of chapters. [19:55] bekks, right, that is what I was understanding === nancy is now known as lumina [19:55] I use "keycode 97 = Shift_L" with xmodmap, can someone please tell me how to do something similar with setxkbmap?

[19:57] bekks, I already ran apt-get -f install [19:58] Hi! Eny one know that can i run stronghold-kingdoms in wine? [19:58] bekks, and that executed without error [19:58] shanemini: good :) [19:58] bekks, I assume I can remove the old kernels that I didn't 'temp move' without a problem?? [19:59] bekks, or causing apt-get to cough up an error because of the moved files? [19:59] shanemini: Now remove an old kernel, and make sure you move back all directories to /usr/src/ with the version string of the kernel to be removed in its name. [19:59] shanemini: Right :) [19:59] bekks, ok, thanks a billion, I'm pretty sure I have never seen a problem like that before. === alice_ is now known as Kiryx [20:00] Bonsoir messieurs dames === Kosai_ is now known as Kosai [20:00] !fr | momovirus [20:00] momovirus: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[20:06] sw0rdfish: your best bet in general is to use uNetBootin. Some iso's can be directly copied to a USB drive though. [20:06] el_seano, can't I just copy the CD's content [20:06] into the usb [20:07] after formating the usb first [20:07] would that work? [20:07] sw0rdfish: depends on the iso.

[20:45] !patience [20:45] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:45] MirkoKa, DJones, thanks [20:45] chucknorris: ask away, but don't roundhouse kick anyone [20:45] _DDG_: Have you tried editing /etc/network/interfaces? [20:45] esd, you arn't using oss, there is no native support for oss in linux [20:46] ill try not to lol [20:46] <_DDG_> no [20:46] <_DDG_> thanks for the help but i dont think linux is for me :( [20:46] scientes: im not, im moving from oss to alsa, and I have alsa set up, oss removed, and my soundcards do not load under alsa [20:46] esd: so i'm asking, what can I do to get it working? [20:46] err scientes* :D [20:46] esd, amixer, however ubuntu uses pulseaudio on top of alsa [20:46] I'm running ubuntu 11.10. I'm having trouble getting wine to find various USB devices. Do I need to change some setting for it to do that? [20:47] scientes: i had pa with oss as well [20:47] oszt, what kind of device [20:47] escott: one is a sansidsk sansa clip + mp3 player [20:48] ok so i've been reading Unix & Linix System Administration Handbook, and i came accross a question "Find a list of names (from a telephone directory, perhaps) and use it as the input to a script that forms login names according to the naming convention at your site." [20:48] oszt: Wine's USB support is rudimetary anyway, see http://wiki.winehq.org/USB [20:48] How many users can you accomodate before you have a collision? How many collisions are there overall? Use the data to evaluate your site's naming convention, and suggest improvements. [20:48] oszt, thats probably usb mass storage so just mount it in linux [20:48] escott the other one is a garmin ant+ stick (connecting garmin gps devices, i.e. my pulse watch, via a radio link) [20:48] hello all. On 11.10 when I goto the user accounts....i dont have any "advanced" settings in it...is there something I need to do to enable advanced settings there? [20:49] escott, I have mounted it, but cannot see it in the wine explorer. [20:49] MirkoKa, I knew that, but thanks anyway [20:49] from what ive read im guessing ill have to use NEWUSERS....but i jus need a few tips on how to get the script started [20:50] oszt: use winecfg to map the mountpoint visible to Wine as a drive letter [20:51] oszt: you sansa clip certainly doesn't require wine, or mine doesn't anyways... [20:52] zykotick9, no, but I'm using audible to get audiobooks and need to use their program in order to get their DRM files onto my player [20:52] chucknorris: I don't think that question is really a programming question so much as: come up with a convention for a username from FIRSTNAME LASTNAME (and other info from phonebook I suppose) and then think about your convention. The programming part is to just create a script that takes in phonebook information and outputs login names. For example, input "John Doe", output "jdoe" [20:53] MirkoKa, tried that, but no luck so far [20:53] chucknorris: not sure if I understand the assignment, but start by lower-casing the first name (or last name). if there's already a user by that name, add the first (or last) names first char or somthing. [20:54] chucknorris: as jrib said [20:54] hi everyone === Blaze is now known as Guest53287 [20:55] ok [20:55] bekks: are you still around? removing all those kernels broke the wireless on my wife's dell mini, that is why I'm not allowed to touch her computer [20:55] Can anyone please tell me what program to use and how to make remote keyboard mouse via Android on ubuntu work ? [20:55] ok guys thanks [20:56] yo === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [20:56] is there any way to batch convert FLAC files to MP3 [20:56] bekks: I noticed while removing kernels it kept saying stuff like wl.ko was active in this kernel, something about dkms to install module or something like that. I'm assuming this is a known issue with the broadcom drivers for the wireless of this thing?? [20:57] hello [20:57] also, what program should I use to see how much space is taken up by what on my harddrive [20:58] Tiktalik: python, perl, bash-scripts, basic, etc [20:58] please can anybuddy help please [20:58] !help | abdullahfaqeir [20:58] abdullahfaqeir: 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 [20:58] oszt: have you tried the Autodetect button? [20:58] Tiktalik: http://www.google.ch/#hl=de&gs_nf=1&pq=sudo%20ifconfig%20eth0%20down&cp=13&gs_id=5qg&xhr=t&q=flac+to+mp3+ubuntu&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=flac+to+mp3+u&aq=0&aqi=g2&aql=&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=4461e231bb4f858a [20:58] anyone know about the dell inspiron 10 that had ubuntu pre-installed 10.04? removing old kernels seems to have broken the wireless connection [20:58] abdullahfaqeir: difficult to help when we don't know what's wrong [20:58] MirkoKa, yes. no luck [20:58] EvilResistance: there is actually a command for that xD [20:59] Tiktalik: For diskspace baobab [20:59] ok [20:59] my ubuntu font color and system setting background are missed up [20:59] the font's are white [21:00] and the background of sys set are black [21:00] !enter | abdullahfaqeir [21:00] abdullahfaqeir: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:00] and the mouse pad has stoped suddnly [21:00] ok [21:00] shane2peru: Thats not a bug, because the module names are the same between kernels. [21:01] abdullahfaqeir: are u in graphics-mode (gnome, kde, whatnot) or in terminal-mode ? [21:01] i don't know [21:01] bekks: ok, but for some reason the wireless is not loaded, or working [21:01] abdullahfaqeir: is there anything but text on the screen? [21:01] oszt: does the drive show up just as normal in nautilus, ie. you don't need some special access program. where is it mounted (under /media) if it differs, can you access the drive as the user with which you start wine? [21:01] bekks: I ran 'ifconfig -a' and it only showed eth0 and lo, nothing for wireless [21:01] MirkoKa, does it make a difference if the drive is mounted in linux or not? seem to recall unmounting it in linux some months ago and thus having it show up in wine? [21:02] Still, the names are the same, and the messages just told you, that there were modules built using dkms. [21:02] MirkoKa, no, it automounts and shows up in nautilus [21:02] abdullahfaqeir: if it's an ontopic-question please keep it in the channel as others might gain from the answer [21:02] MirkoKa, and yes, I can access it with full permissions as the same user as the one running wine [21:02] abdullahfaqeir: "how would I know" => does it look like dos? [21:02] ok [21:03] no [21:03] bekks: ok, what should be my next step, google pulls up a lot of stuff that is irrelevant [21:03] it's nice lovely ubuntu [21:03] but just in last day become like this [21:03] hi there!i formatted accidently an mmc card.what to do to recover? [21:03] oszt: if you tried to configure wine to use the device directly (ie. the USB config mentioned in the link I posted), then that might cause a conflict). remove any wine usb config for that disk and try to accesss it with the mountpoint->drive_letter method [21:03] shane2peru: Uninstall the old kernels you want to be uninstalled. [21:03] abdullahfaqeir: then the xserver probably just hung, try pressing CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE :) [21:03] thank you [21:04] beaks, ok, I did that, I left all but the last 3 or 4 [21:04] it's doing anything === dave is now known as Guest94086 [21:04] shane2peru: Now you should have much more space avail, dont you? [21:04] tryed photorec,but got a really important stuff nad can't recover [21:04] bkc_: fyi c+a+backspace hasn't worked by default in a while [21:04] bekks: yes, space is great, I think it was something like 64% free for the inodes. [21:04] . [21:05] bk_ : ??? it didn't do anything [21:05] zsolt: I would suggest photorec or testdisc [21:05] shane2peru: Then everything is ok :) [21:05] zsolt: they come in the same package [21:05] bekks: however, it doesn't connect to the web now, I'm on my laptop [21:05] zykotick9: ....... why the F*** would someone remove that functionality -.- [21:05] shane2peru: Then you removed more than you should. [21:06] abdullahfaqeir: ctrl+alt+1 then [21:06] it just moved the window and make it smaller [21:06] abdullahfaqeir: and then "sudo service gdm restart" (without the quotes) [21:06] ok [21:06] bekks; I don't think I did, I left the latest few kernels I think .37 .38 .39 and .40 however I'm not sure how to see what kernel it is booting off [21:07] i tryed both,my problem is that got a lot of files [21:07] uname -a tells you which kernel is currently active [21:07] gdm: unrecognized service [21:07] bkc_: some accessibility reason actually ;) how you feel now? ;) you can use alt+sysrc+k to restart Xorg [21:07] i need to recover a password gorilla psafe3 file [21:07] MirkoKa, no, actually I haven't tried the usb patches nor built wine myself recently. at the moment I'm just running the 1.3 version packaged with ubuntu 11.10 [21:07] s/sysrc/sysrq/ [21:07] abdullahfaqeir, which version are you running? 11.10 and 12.04 will have 'sudo restart lightdm' instead. [21:07] 11.10 [21:07] but got a lot of txt files and elf files [21:07] bekks: ok, but how do I select what kernel to boot? [21:08] zykotick9: I hate ubuntu... seriously... -.- [21:08] bkc_: it's not an ubuntu thing - it's an xorg thing [21:08] shane2peru: in the grub menu [21:09] it's just restarted the desktop [21:09] please guys help [21:09] oszt: sorry, I don't know further. I suggest you ask the Wine folks [21:09] I love ubuntu and i want to stay on it I don't want to go back to windows [21:09] beaks grub menu doesn't show on this, ubuntu was pre-installed, and I haven't messed with it hardly at all. [21:10] bekks: ˆˆˆ [21:10] MirkoKa, thank you for your time! [21:10] what's a good music player [21:10] bekks: it booted off 2.6.32-41 so I'm thinking I'm going to boot off the old kernel to see if that works, once I figure out how. [21:10] Tiktalik, vlc [21:10] abdullahfaqeir: restarting the desktop and still not working only proves that it wasn't hung :) there are still loads to try :P [21:10] ok [21:11] Tiktalik: depends on what you call good [21:11] give me every thing just make it work please buddy [21:12] Tiktalik: audacious is a simple and feature rich music player [21:12] I can't seem to see the boot menu on this dell inspiron mini with ubuntu pre-installed, anyone know how to do that?? [21:13] a dumb question, but where can I see if my ubuntu is 64 bit or 32? [21:14] cmon: uname -m [21:15] Guys, I shot myself on the foot: removed myself from admin group, so no sudo. There are no other users in sudoers. What is the easiest, pain-free way to recover? [21:15] abdullahfaqeir: seeing as my computer only hangs and the mouse actually works from scratch I can't really help you :( but I'd look into the xserver config-files to see if everything checksout okey, otherwise wait for someone else to help you :) [21:15] MestreLion: Cry :P [21:15] shane2peru: /etc/default/grub or /boot/grub/menu.lst depending on your Ubuntu version should have all the settings (probably timeout related) [21:15] MestreLion: Boot a live CD. [21:16] hi there [21:16] i need help about VINO on my machine [21:16] MirkoKa: /boot/grub/menu.lst is not used anymore since 9.10 [21:16] ok thanks [21:16] bekks: ok... and then? [21:16] MestreLion: boot your system in recovery mode and go to the root shell. You should have full root access. [21:16] abdullahfaqeir: and please for the love of god, please stop with the pm's... unless otherwise stated or told, support-channels *hate* pm's as they are counterproductive to the "support"-idea -.- [21:16] Is there anybody available to help me about VINO in UBUNTU? [21:17] MestreLion: Follow mimimec and add yourself to the admin group again. [21:17] MestreLion: that's why I said "depending on your Ubuntu version". i don't know (perhaps I missed yout post) what version the OP is running ;-) [21:17] minimec: and what groups should I add besides admin? do you know the defaults for 1st user in Ubuntu? [21:17] 7~ [21:17] ok sorry [21:17] MirkoKa: yes, that is the old method, I liked that method, I'm not sure about this new grub2 stff [21:17] hi.. just upgraded to 12.04 beta and seeing a problem.. is there another channel for that? or should i fire away ? [21:17] jackbrownhf: nobudy likes a screamer, and what more specifically do you wanna know about vino? [21:18] anyone know how to configure grub2 so I can see my boot menu? I'm running 10.04 ubuntu LTS [21:18] carpediembaby: #ubuntu+1 [21:18] carpediembaby: #ubuntu+1 [21:18] shane2peru: then just look into /etc/default/grub (pastebin it if you need assistance) [21:18] bkc_: i'm sorry, i just configuret it simply and it says that this machine it's available just from my private lan [21:18] MestreLion: You did more than just removing yourself from the adm group, dont you? [21:18] thanks trism, MestreLion .. had forgotten it :) [21:18] shane2peru: /etc/grub.d/00_default <-- look for waittime [21:18] bkc_: now i'm tryng to access it through a bridged virtual machine but i'm unable to do that [21:18] MestreLion: Well... Can't tell you right now... Let me verify that... [21:19] jackbrownhf: do you have a firewall setup in your machine? [21:19] bekks: yes... I wanted to add a new group with usermod -G, and forgot the -a :P (yes, lame mistake, I know) [21:19] bkc_: yeah and i already put it down [21:19] jackbrownhf: never shutdown the firewall as there might be lingering settings, open the port instead... [21:19] bkc_: the firewall is down [21:19] bkc_: nope, no 00_default only 00_header 05_debian_theme 10 linux and a few others [21:20] MestreLion: adm, cdrom, sudo, dip, plugdev, lpadmin, yourusergroup [21:20] bekks: so currently I'm only in 2 groups... my user group and the new one I created. All the others have vanished :P [21:20] jackbrownhf: (shuting down the firewall is for obvious reasons a bad idea, even on private lans) [21:20] shane2peru: sore, meant 00_header :) [21:20] bkc_: added 5900 port TCP Allow IN to firewall [21:20] bekks: sudo? Isn't it admin anymore? [21:20] MestreLion: use usermod recently ;) -a is append === Kiryx is now known as Kiryx|afk [21:20] bkc_: (and having no firewall?!?! ) [21:21] zykotick9: yeah... and I simply forgot the --append... casted usermod --groups only... [21:21] MestreLion: See the comments in /etc/sudoers :) [21:21] jrib: could u show me how to use the command which would read the "John Doe" from the input file and output it as "jdoe"? [21:21] jackbrownhf: try it now, otherwise, ping the computers from both ends and see if they can actually talk to eachother :) [21:21] bekks: /etc/sudoers is non-readable for non-sudoers :P [21:21] MestreLion: It is, for root. [21:22] MestreLion: rescue mode, etc ;) [21:22] oh, ok [21:22] MirkoKa: thanks, I changed that in there [21:22] jackbrownhf: having no firewall is the same as having it turned of... actually it's the other way around, but that's just semantics anyway :) [21:22] MirkoKa: I hate fiddling with those config files in grub2 some are auto-fixed after they are edited by the system [21:22] bekks: adm, cdrom, sudo, dip, plugdev, lpadmin.. ok, got it... this will at least give me some basic functionality, the rest I can configure back in my account [21:23] bkc_: VM Linux to my machine 4 bytes from 192.168.1.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.03 ms [21:23] 64 bytes from 192.168.1.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.70 ms (DUP!) [21:23] bekks: and thank you :) [21:23] shane2peru: yeah, but that's the nice thing about the sometimes comples grub2 config. /etc/defaults/grub doesn't change by an update [21:23] bkc_: what means 64 bytes from 192.168.1.8: icmp_req=5 ttl=64 time=6.59 ms (DUP!) [21:23] bekks: I'm still using Maverick, so I guess it is still admin here... [21:23] bkc_: never seen before DUP! [21:24] MestreLion: The functionalities of adm and sudo are different. [21:24] jackbrownhf: DUP! should imo mean that it got the same package twice... thou not 100% sure :/ [21:24] MestreLion: adm allows you to gain root access, sudo allows you to execute a command as root. [21:24] jackbrownhf: DUP means duplicate [21:24] hello [21:24] jackbrownhf: well, now you know that they can talk to each other. have you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#Troubleshooting ? [21:24] any channel for help a noob [21:25] SunTsu: ok got it maybe cos i'm pinging betwen my Computer and a VirtualBox bridged machine [21:25] !help | MAXtEr [21:25] MAXtEr: 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 [21:25] MAXtEr: just ask your question [21:25] bekks: so adm is for su - only ? [21:25] MestreLion: su has nothing to do with it. [21:25] bekks: what would be "gain root access" then? [21:25] get a root shell. [21:26] like sudo -i [21:26] bekks: I thought that was su [21:26] (which is not recommended). [21:26] MestreLion: in ubuntu admin users are automatically allowed to sudo, but root account is disabled [21:26] chucknorris: there are a thousand methods to do this, you need to learn shell scripting for this. the simple and naive way would be echo John Doe | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | sed 's/ \(.\).*/\1/g' [21:26] MestreLion: then why is there an entry for adm in the /etc/sudoers? ;) [21:27] yes, i'm aware of that zykotick9 .. and i think it is a wise decision imho [21:27] bkc_: troubleshoting doesn't help just talk about few settings [21:27] l [21:27] sl [21:27] sorry [21:28] okay here I am again two years working on the same issue. [21:28] jackbrownhf: have you configured it to accept remote connection? (not only local) [21:28] For some stupid reason I cannot disable the screensaver [21:28] bekks: that's weird... 2 of my regular users ARE in adm group... but not in sudo.. they were created using gnome's GUI [21:28] and now even worse the lockscreen [21:28] what version of ubuntu are you using, lvleph? [21:28] MestreLion: I never used a graphical solution to create users, I really cant tell about that gnome gui. [21:29] I am using Mint 9 [21:29] so not technically Ubuntu === BaconBacon is now known as BaconAttack [21:29] bekks: I have 3 "admin-related" groups: adm, admin and sudo (i'm glad I can at least cat /etc/group) [21:29] but technically not not ubuntu [21:29] lol [21:29] I believe that is at its end of life now, and this is also an ubuntu irc channel [21:30] bkc_: yes i did, anyway VINO gui has few preferences to set [21:30] lvleph: Min 9 is not EOL, since it's an LTS... but there is a mint irc server... [21:30] Yeah, the people at Mint weren't able to help me [21:30] Yeah I know [21:30] but the problem has been persistent across multiple versions [21:31] oh, sorry MestreLion, i didnt know that it was an LTS [21:31] so, I suspect even after upgrade I will have the issue [21:31] jackbrownhf: try "nmap -p5900 " too see if the port is open :) [21:31] hello, how do I mount a private home directory for my user? That was automatically done when the hard drive it is on was in my computer. Now it's an external disk connected via USB cable... [21:31] christhisisgool: int 9 = Lucid 10.04 [21:31] Mint* [21:31] oh [21:31] makes a lot more sense now [21:31] !mint [21:31] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:32] bkc_: ok [21:32] just a question, i need download a video from youtube... no firefox just Chromium.. any other instead of DownloadHelper? tks [21:32] MrKeuner: should be automagic, however mounting it as /home/ is unsupported and illadviced imo :) [21:32] any hacker channels? [21:32] MrKeuner: it should pop-up somewhere in /mount :) [21:33] boneSphere: define hacker... [21:33] bkc_: 5900/tcp open vnc [21:33] ??? [21:33] jackbrownhf: it should work then :/ [21:33] bkc_: of course i launched nmap from the client machine [21:33] bekks: let me see if I got this right: adm is for root shells, but since root account is disabled in Ubuntu, adm group is useless, correct? sudo group is the one that allows sudo... what about admin group, what is it for? [21:33] bkc_: i'm opening the ip on the browser maybe this is the mistake [21:33] bkc_, it does not get mounted autmatically [21:33] bkc_: ?? [21:33] MrKeuner: what do you mean with "private home directory", your home shouldn't be non-private anyway. however, you need to edit /etc/fstab. I suggest not to do this. your account might become unusable if it doesn't find any files when the disk isn't connectted. instead, only put your private files it it. [21:33] MestreLion: No. [21:34] MestreLion: ONE of the functionalities of the adm group is to gain root access. === BaconAttack is now known as BaconAttack_ [21:34] MirkoKa, bkc_ by private I mean encrypted [21:34] jackbrownhf: .......... you need a vnc-client like tightvnc or similar to use vnc :) [21:34] MrKeuner: ooh... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage [21:34] bekks: isn't "admin" (not adm) used for sudo? that's at least what /etc/sudoers on my 10.04 indicates [21:34] bekks: got any reading material for the rationale behind each group? I am quite surprised to see regular users in adm (but they are not in admin or sudo) [21:34] bkc_: lol tnx i will install it [21:35] bkc_, that is more for creating an encrpted system, but thanks [21:36] MrKeuner: actually... it's for creating *and* mounting an encrypted system :) [21:37] MestreLion: No, sorry. I have to google it. [21:37] MrKeuner: I have never tried an encryped home partition, so let me suggest another method: use encfs and its gui front-end cryptkeeper to encrypt only those (data) directories with your sensitive files [21:38] bekks: don't bother, I can do that [21:38] alguien que sepa algo de psybnc === hybrid is now known as greenkobold [21:38] MirkoKa / bekks : care to paste the groups YOU guys are in? So I can have a reference? === sgrier_ is now known as sgrier [21:39] MestreLion: I just did ;) Add vboxusers, and you have full list as I am using it :) [21:39] hi everyone. i have a question about partial upgrades - recently, when i open update-manager i get a "not all updates can be installed" warning, followed by a "partial upgrade" button. When I choose this, update-manager closes, and no upgrade is performed. any ideas on what i should be checking? [21:39] MirkoKa: he wasn't refering to his home-folder, he was refering to an encrypted(private) partition :) [21:40] bekks: yeah, nice call about vboxusers... I have it installed. what about sambashare ? [21:40] MestreLion: mirko adm dialout cdrom audio video plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare vboxusers [21:40] mrflibble, you can try from the cli; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade; [21:40] mrflibble: fyi "partial upgrade" basically translates to - "this update is going to break something on your system" - you shouldn't do them. [21:40] ok, thanks escott [21:41] bekks / MirkoKa: and what version are you using? === Rider is now known as Guest50196 [21:41] zykotick9: oh, but even if u upgrade the rest of the packages, it keeps showing up, but it's not very obvious in what it wants to do === Guest50196 is now known as atome [21:41] MrKeuner: is truecrypt any good to you? [21:42] if you dont want a whole fs encrypted, u can create containers that can be mounted [21:42] MestreLion: I sent you a notice with my /etc/group file. Didn't you get that? [21:42] MestreLion: 10.04 (would be surprised if the "main-user" group (ie. admin v. adm vs. wheel) changed, but who knows [21:42] mrflibble: you shouldn't under normal circumstances see partial upgrades. mixing repos? fyi, they are common in the development branch and an excellent reason to use "aptitude safe-upgrade" [21:43] minimec: no, I didn't... care to re-send? [21:43] MestreLion: Better like that? [21:43] got it minimec , thanks [21:44] MestreLion: ok [21:44] zykotick9: possibly - i did try to add a repo for some fuse stuff i think [21:44] MirkoKa: it did change... for example, you are in admin but not in sudo... bekks is the opposite... and I think "wheel" is kinda recent... [21:44] does anyone know how I can find out how many cores I have from the terminal? [21:46] swampthing: "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and see how many "processor : #" entries you have. (one way) [21:46] minimec: and your ubuntu is.. ? [21:46] swampthing: top and then "1" ? [21:46] MestreLion: wheel has been around a long time. It was used when I started playing with Debian 17+ years ago. [21:46] MestreLion: That file comes from a upgraded 11.10 -> 12.04 [21:47] i like zykotick9's way better :) [21:47] MestreLion: in any case, fixing this should be really easy with a LiveCD. regardless of what group is used. what enables me to use sudo is the /etc/sudoers line "%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL" (without the quotes of course). just adjust it for your notion of the "main-user" group. [21:47] man, if only sudo accepted aliases or ~/bin scripts... I would surely forcefully append --append to usermod :P [21:48] wylde: so is it deprecated or not used in ubuntu? I don't even have that group in my /etc/group [21:48] MestreLion: http://i.imgur.com/AjceU.png [21:48] ^^ [21:48] zykotick9: in software sources, i have a few ppa.launchpad.net ones, canonical partners, independent and independent (source code) [21:49] MestreLion: I guess so, or just not used in Ubuntu. I haven;t seen it used in a long time. [21:49] mrflibble: well... i have no comment. good luck. [21:50] MirkoKa: yes, I know it wont be too hard... reboot, recovery mode, usermod -a -G , and I'm good. But I want to recreate that list as "faithfully" as possible [21:50] MestreLion: wheel is often used in more traditional Linuxes. Slackware uses it for example (Arch and Gentoo too IIRC) [21:50] lol, thanks :) [21:50] MestreLion: http://alien.slackbook.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=linux:admin [21:50] lol @ bkc_ ... nice :D [21:51] MestreLion: worst thing is... it works -.- [21:51] I want to get into web development. should I learn perl for that? === notjosefnpat is now known as josefnpat [21:52] MestreLion: do I mix threads up here? if you where the one who had removed itself from the group, then there's no other way as to use LiveCD or recovery mode. ;-) [21:54] bkc_: does it? previously i aliased sudo to something like sudo(){ cmd="$1"; shift; type "$cmd">/dev/null && command sudo "$(type -p "$cmd")" "$@"; }, or something like that [21:54] mrflibble, not sure what you ask. While using it I felt safe [21:55] MirkoKa: I will use recovery mode... [21:55] MestreLion: yes it does work :) [21:55] swampthing: perl is certainly useful, but php might be an easier intro [21:56] ah so, cheers [21:58] bkc_: what was that -D9 ? [21:58] MestreLion: no idea, but it works :) [21:58] try sudo --help | grep -D [21:58] bkc_: I guess it is part of the joke... i did man sudo already, there's no -D [21:59] MestreLion: depends on the version and distro/os :) [21:59] anyway, we are getting off-topic... my problem is solved, and have many "reference lists" to aid me... thanks a lot guys! [22:00] question: do recovery mode mount entries in fstab? [22:01] MestreLion: -D level | Enable debugging of sudo plugins and sudo itself. The level may be a value from 1 through 9. [22:01] sudo 1.8.4 :) [22:02] hallooooow ubuntu people..... [22:02] bkc_: weird... i can not even use -V [22:02] hi kingnebex [22:02] MestreLion: IIRC, yes. if not and you need to mount try "mount /path/to/moint_point" [22:03] wts up mrflibble? [22:03] can any i helpme out .....im lookin 3 a site that has multiple and free soft wares 4 ubuntu [22:03] great MirkoKa... list is saved in my data partition [22:03] time to reboot I guess... thanks for everything guys! [22:03] can any i helpme out .....im lookin 4 a site that has multiple and free soft wares 4 ubuntu [22:04] any one please...... [22:04] kingnebex: me too... it's called Software Center... it's amazing, more than 30 THOUSAND software... all for FREE! [22:04] kingnebex: what is the problem? [22:04] kingnebex: Linux is not Windows. We handle sofware differently. Lean to use the Package Manager (Software Center or System -> Aminstration -> Synaptic) [22:04] is 12.04 coming with optional gnome 3 shell [22:05] software center aint enough [22:05] kingnebex: you browse, click "install", and bang! new free (and safe) software installed! [22:05] kingnebex: what are you trying to install? [22:05] lol @ MestreLion [22:05] kingnebex: is http://www.linuxalt.com/ what you are looking for [22:06] im lookn 4 cool games [22:06] is 12.04 coming with optional gnome 3 shell? [22:06] kingnebex: linux is not the best for cool games [22:06] ozzy_, gnome-shell has been available since 11.10 [22:06] i use linux for everything other than gaming. [22:06] talking of which has anyone ever used steam on linux? without wine? [22:07] try some wine and cool windows games [22:07] kingnebex: linux is not great for games, although there are some amazing ones at Software Center... and there's also Wine, which runs most windows games perfectly [22:07] lol@perfectly [22:07] ChristopherNg: without wine, glhf, it's win/mac only :/ [22:07] im nt usin linux....im using ubuntu 11 [22:07] i have 240GB of data I need to move out of the way for a few hours and the only disks available are 2 160GB usb hdds. I don't want to pick manually what file goes on what disk. what is the easiest way to do this? jbod? [22:07] oh lord... [22:07] lol [22:07] wine sucks man [22:07] i run wow with 15fps on a netbook with atom processor [22:07] ubuntu = linux [22:08] kingnebex: news flash.... Ubuntu is a Linux distro... sorry to dissapoint you [22:08] haha [22:08] I think kingnebex is trolling [22:08] MestreLion: actually... it's a gnu/linux distrobution ;) [22:08] nklsbjegkljbge, it would be easier to split the mounts /sdb1 on /media/disk and sdc1 on /media/disk/subfolder [22:08] nklsbjegkljbge: you need to be careful with jbod - if u loose one of the drives, u will lose everything [22:08] bkc_: very true... it's a GNU/Linux/Gnome distro [22:09] MestreLion: gnome has nothing to do with it :) [22:09] & hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [22:09] ChristopherNg: I'm sure he is... there's no other reason to repost a line because he typed "3" instead of "4" when he actually meant "for" [22:09] wat do u mean by that? [22:10] is 12.04 coming with optional gnome 3 shell [22:10] No, it's a GNU/Linux/Unix/BSD/MIT/X11/whatever-else-I-have-forgotten-to-mention-and-recognize NON-FREE distro. scratch that ;-) [22:10] sry repost [22:10] ozzy_, YES its in 11.10 [22:10] but it is fun to relax before entering recovery mode.... takes the stress away after my mess up with groups :P [22:10] !nounity | ozzy_ [22:10] ozzy_: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [22:10] ozzy_: ubuntu 12.04 has unity iirc :) === laptop is now known as Guest62886 [22:11] I HATE UNITY [22:11] hai , how to know the remote login activity on my ubuntu ? [22:11] ozzy_, you don't need to use caps :) [22:11] ozzy_: your not alone, but please don't yell ^^ [22:11] reader_: type "who" [22:11] ozzy: you can always switch de [22:12] kingnebex: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=troll [22:12] bkc_: it sure does.. if we admit it is fair to include GNU due to the basic software provided, and not name the distro after the kernel alone, would be fair to include the DE too, since it plays a major part in user's life [22:12] MestreLion: gnu is a hard-dep, gnome isn't :) [22:12] its just because unity crashed my ubuntu and i had to reinstall whole system because compiz hates unity too. [22:12] bkc_: true [22:13] thanx [22:13] ozzy_: i'm sure you could have fixed it rather than reinstalled [22:13] imbezol, I mean log file [22:14] reader_: there's /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/syslog [22:14] i ran it from usb disk and i think that was the problem too [22:16] Can you recover a external drive? its saying boot sector error. [22:17] Sarrous: when trying to boot off it? or you're seeing the error somewhere else? [22:17] Sarrous: it depends on what is wrong with it [22:17] does one have to be concerned with the dns malware thats in the news? [22:17] imbezol: when I'm booting off it [22:18] Sarrous: you could try booting off a recovery or utility type CD so that you can work on it [22:18] bob_: What DNS malware === q0rban is now known as q-rban [22:18] Sarrous: CD's like the one you can download at partimage.org often have good tools to try to do something with it [22:18] meganerd: not sure whats wrong. [22:18] Sarrous: I am big fan of systemrescuecd as well as the Ubuntu Rescue Remix [22:18] why is it bad to use the root account? [22:18] http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/23/hundreds-thousands-may-lose-internet-in-july/ [22:19] Sarrous: you may be able to just fix the boot sector, rewrite the partition table, etc.. depending on what's up with it [22:19] imbezol & Meganerd: thanks [22:19] Quann_Quan: because if you fuck something up by mistake, there's no going back ^^ [22:19] hello [22:19] o.o [22:19] can anyone please say, what date is today? [22:19] Sarrous: if it's more serious.. there are tools like ddrescue to try to copy the disk to a file which you can then do recovery operations on but that gets a bit advanced [22:19] Quann_Quan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:19] how do i make a new account? [22:19] Quann_Quan, it reduces your security model to that of windows 95 [22:20] or XP [22:20] seeergiu-dev: april 23rd? [22:20] yeah but who makes payloads for windows 95?? [22:20] imbezol: if it comes to it i'll restall refresh. [22:20] meganerd: of win7 :/ [22:20] oh haha sorry for the nooby question i just got linux [22:20] bkc_: win7 actually gets it mostly right, better than Linux [22:20] imbezol, when I typed 'who -a' it shows LOGIN tty4 tty5 tty3 .... and all what is that means ? is anyone logged in tty4, tty5 etc [22:20] bkc_: Please, no swearing in here [22:20] Quann_Quan: it is a valid question [22:21] meganerd: I'd like to have a discussion about that topic, but it's offtopic in here ;) [22:21] pangolin: sorry, my bad :( [22:21] reader: tty is usually your local sessions. try this: 'ps fauxw | grep tty4' [22:21] Quann_Quan: the news rarely understands what is going on, so it can be challenging to properly assess your own risk [22:21] reader: that will show you the username and the process that's creating that login instance [22:21] bkc_: not enough time for that OT today :) [22:22] Quann_Quan: click on dash and type users accounts and there you can create new user [22:22] reader: if the process is something like ssh, then it's remote [22:22] reader: ctrl+alt+f1->f7 has tty's connected to them :) [22:22] assess at my own risk? [22:23] Quann_Quan: when something hits the news it is usually big, from that you assess your own risk. This is really OT here. [22:23] Quann_Quan: it's fox-news... they lie :) [22:24] imbezol, It shows " root 1010 0.0 0.0 1976 456 tty4 Ss+ 01:00 0:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4" but I'am logged in as another user ! ? [22:25] reader: that's because the getty process is running as root. when you log into it, it switches to the username that's logged in [22:25] bkc_ : or fbi invited us to visit their web site clever guys :) [22:25] reader: if you do just "ps fauxw" then look you'll see the process "hanging" off that getty [22:25] reader, getty just waits on the ttys to run the login application. thats normal [22:25] zvacet: ^^ [22:26] imbezol, escott,bkc_, thanks! [22:26] bkc_ : nice try isn´t it ;) [22:26] zvacet: indeed it is, but futile I tell you, futile... :) [22:27] bkc_ : yes bur we are ot now so that is it back to support [22:28] wow guys, while researching for the rationale behind each group, look at what i've found: http://localhost:631 amazing!!! :D [22:28] zvacet: not that many questions atm so going a bit OT shouldn't be a problem ^^ [22:29] MestreLion: you know what localhost is, don't you? ;-) [22:29] imbezol, One more problem , every time I try to connect xchat the network manager got restarted why it is restarting every time ? is there any Suspicious process running that? [22:29] how come I've never stumbled on this before? ok, ok, if this is obvious old news, sorry... but i never knew cups had a web interface [22:29] bkc_ : I see but there is channel for that kind of talk [22:29] yes MirkoKa.. and I'm amazed it enables a web admin interface by default [22:30] tekno909 [22:31] I guess lpadmin is more than justified :P [22:31] MestreLion: it's just a CUPS thing. CUPS installs a web-server for the config. has nothing to do with user groups. [22:31] Kubuntu wont answer my question but I want to know why things like websites, videos and music and pictures make my CPU go high on my netbook no matter what software I use to load them. I use Kubuntu 12 and my CPU shoots upto 90%. [22:32] bkc_, One more problem , every time I try to connect xchat the network manager got restarted why it is restarting every time ? is there any Suspicious process running that? [22:32] MirkoKa: it is tied to the lpadmin... you can't change settings in that web interface unless you are in lpadmin [22:32] I can play music fine but if I load something like a webpage up my CPU will go high. [22:32] reader: xchat works fine on my computer w/ nm. I'd look elsewhere :) [22:32] I have a Dell Inspiron 1011 [22:32] HelenB: flash perhaps? === Kiryx|afk is now known as Kiryx [22:32] MestreLion, no [22:33] All I want is for my CPU to STOP going high! [22:33] u r a realy funny guy [22:33] bkc_, I mean is there any other program restarting it ? [22:33] HelenB: which browser? what plugins/addons? how many tabs? [22:34] MirkoKa, chromium but firefox and other web browsers have the same effect. [22:34] This isn't just web browsers it's media players too [22:34] reader: no idea, don't have your logs ^^ [22:34] and image viewers === joel is now known as Guest89667 [22:35] HelenB: what site you looking at or is it all sites [22:35] HelenB: what desktop-manager are you using? === Guest89667 is now known as Zoohouse [22:35] Sarrous: it's not just websites, it's *everything* [22:35] bkc ah right [22:35] Sarrous, Most sites. [22:35] HelenB: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 [22:35] thanks, you guys solved my problem, and it wast nothing you said [22:35] bkc_, can u guide me to how to check those process in ubuntu [22:35] after installiing the PPA for ubuntu -tweak how do I install the program [22:35] bkc_, Obviously KDE. [22:36] HelenB: does it happen for everything which is somehow "graphically" intense? === Logan_ is now known as quetzal [22:36] HelenB: that computer will never be able to run kde ^^ it will be slow as f* [22:36] NurseDad, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [22:36] bkc_, It runs KDE fine. [22:36] tks [22:36] it's fast [22:36] the cpu is at 10% [22:37] HelenB: and then you start something ^^ [22:37] but when i open up a media file/webpage it shoots up to 100% [22:37] ntfs-partition? [22:37] So it's NOT KDE! lol [22:37] it is off topic and I am going to remove you if you don't move this to #ubuntu+1 right now. [22:37] no ext3 [22:37] NurseDad, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweek [22:37] pangolin: what's off-topic? [22:37] pangolin, fine [22:37] reader thank you [22:38] HelenB: thank you.. bkc_ 12.04 the dev release is not supported in this channel until it is released [22:38] kingnebex: how so? Seemed to me you wanted an explanation of the term. [22:38] pangolin: sorry, missed that she said kubuntu 12 :/ [22:39] could have been said a little less agressive [22:41] Is there a way to make shift+numpad1 = "highlight everything until the end of the line" instead of 1 ? [22:41] Sorry... On a laptop keyboard [22:43] hello I try to install Ubuntu on a brand new laptop with just FreeDos preinstalled. but the live cd crashes after start.. strange screen shows up..

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [22:44] bkc_: http://www.uloz.to/xMsxM9W/img-0004-mp4 [22:45] auvajs: one that doesn't involde 100k registrations ^^ [22:45] bkc_: you can download it for free just type the captcha letters [22:46] quit [22:46] auvajs: and that would be "Stàhnout" ? [22:46] bkc_: stahnout means download. but I uploaded it to youtube so wait till it processes [22:47] bkc_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdGzDDrDU7s&feature=youtu.be does it already work? [22:48] auvajs: yes [22:48] bkc_: very strange screen.. no idea.. it [22:48] auvajs: that's the graphics-mode :) [22:49] it's ubuntu-12.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso but I have the same result with ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso too [22:49] auvajs: take it to #ubuntu+1 as they probably know more about it :) [22:50] is there some place I can download the vmlinuz file for a stock Ubuntu kernel? i.e. the uncompressed kernel binary that has all the symbols still in it [22:50] i mean vmlinux, not vmlinuz === mint is now known as tekno909 [22:51] jey: why would you want that? :P [22:51] !kernal | jey [22:51] bkc_, so I can profile my kernel using oprofile [22:52] !kernel | jey [22:52] jey: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [22:52] auvajs: no answer, but google for "lenovo prefix set". it seems that there's a 64bit v.s 32bit issue === adrian is now known as Guest12452 [22:54] hey guys [22:55] Question: How can I make my kernel aware of a new video driver that I have downloaded without screwing anything up.? [22:55] I understand that it isn't as easy as copy paste. [22:55] what driver? [22:56] specifically when I profile my system when it slows down i see that 40% of the time is spent in the kernel, so I want to see if I have some bad driver or something [22:56] that is, profiling with oprofile [22:56] When i opet dash home,and when i click to view all installed apps,and try to scroll down i get some "lag" after the third scroll. [22:57] bkc_: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-177.82-pkg1 [22:57] iHarp: just run the installer :) [22:57] but really... 177 :/ [22:57] cool. thanks [22:57] seems there's a ddebs repo with the debug symbols, I'll try that [22:57] 177? [22:57] bkc_: What's wrong with 177? [22:57] iHarp: I'd suggest installing the latest driver (295.40) as it is more stable and less memory-hungry :) [22:58] did they update the 173? [22:58] ooh... legacy... nm... [22:58] iHarp: 195 is the latest legacy iirc [22:58] Sweet. I'll check it out. thanks for the input. [22:59] what does this means in a package? is it unstable? crtmpserver (0.0~dfsg+svn611.1-2) http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/crtmpserver [22:59] what is 0.0~dfsg [22:59] bencc: might ask the devs of that package [23:00] the kernel debug symbols package is 639 mb?! wow [23:00] EvilResistance: I thought it might be a naming convention dfsg [23:01] bencc: version numbers are so absolutely and highly project and even developer dependent that it is impossible to have a general convention. ask the developers [23:01] I'm trying to set up a virtual host on ubuntu 11.10, and for some reason, my virtual hosts seem to be getting Options -Indexes directives from "somewhere else." That somewhere else is not apache2.conf or sites-enabled/000-default. Does anybody here have any insight to share? [23:01] Hello! I need some help: Cannot login after installing the 12.04 beta [23:01] !precise | Annie [23:01] Annie: 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 [23:01] bkc_: (195.36.24 Certified) Sound good? [23:03] jrib well unity is not installed and whatever wm i try to use from the logonscreen it just flashes some text and send me back to the logon screen.. [23:03] I have a questionn [23:03] Annie: support for 12.04 is in #ubuntu+1 until final release [23:03] Does Wubi causee Ubuntu to be really slow? [23:03] Or is it just my dual boot crappy Dell. [23:03] iris, wubi will be slower [23:04] Ok So how do I uninstall it? [23:04] from WIndows. [23:04] *Windows. [23:04] iris: iirc wubi loopback-mounts a ext3-fs from a ntfs-partition... in what way will that not be slow ^^ [23:04] bkc what the bloody hell does that mean. [23:05] IME, wubi wan't all *that* slow. slower yes, but not that much that it affected normal operation. [23:05] Excuse my language, I was told to come here from ##NewBoston where swearing is moderatel allowed. [23:05] iris: that means it's going to be slow as fudge ^^ [23:05] Software center crashes all the time. [23:05] So does Chromium. [23:05] iris, some people do manage to use wubi so they must find it fast enough, so your hardware might just be slow to begin with, but wubi will be slower than running directly on the disk [23:06] iris: to uninstalling wubi should work similar to uninstalling every window app IIRC [23:06] So how do I delete it? I have a CD. [23:06] I don't have to uninstll partitions? [23:06] iris, i think you just delete the wubi folder and uninstall the wubi application [23:06] iris: it's just like installing MS office ^^ [23:06] Just the program file? [23:06] escott: no! [23:06] iris, there is no partition [23:07] So, how would I remove the partition? [23:07] add/remove programs [23:07] to uninstall wubi, you just do it like any other app [23:07] in windows [23:07] what he said [23:07] ^ [23:07] Uninstall Wubi, but will it show up to install either? [23:07] I mean select when you boot? [23:07] please be clearer on what you mean [23:08] how do I locate Ubuntu files I have downloaded while on Ubuntu, through windows if I am using Windows at that time? [23:08] iris: wubi doesn't create a partition, that's the whole point of it. just remove it using Start -> Control -> Software [23:08] The dual boot screen. [23:08] Okay. Thanks. [23:08] That was helpful. [23:08] Hello, I am new to all of this - I don't know if I am using the correct channel - but hope you can recommend the correct channel or a solution. I have installed 11.10 and it works great - except that it does not recognize my Marvell 88E8057 wireless card - the card works when using XP. nm-tool shows that the driver (sky)is there but unavailable. Can someone suggest the next step in troubleshooting? Marvell does offer a Lin [23:08] Now should I install using my 11.04 disk or make a 12.04 disk. [23:09] oh, if you uninstall the wubi from add remove programs then the boot screen will automatically go away [23:09] Okay, thanks. [23:09] What I wanted to know.. [23:09] gateway2006: have tried searching google for "ubuntu 11.10 marvel"? [23:09] Not very good with partitions. [23:09] how to start a server/service just after reboot on an ubuntu server? is placing a .conf file in /etc/init/ the only way to go? seems to me my web server starts even though I can't find it there [23:09] Do any of you code? [23:09] not yet - but will do it! [23:09] iris: probably want to go with 12.04, which is due to be released sometime soon ( think its the 26th) rather than a version that is almost dead. [23:10] Ok. [23:10] iris: if bash counts, then yes! if not, then i guess i have some experience with html and c++ [23:10] but nothing major [23:10] Should I wait till Thursday or do the beta? And it is the 26. [23:10] i would wait until thursday [23:10] just to make sure its stable [23:11] chull2058: either use a program like http://www.fs-driver.org/ or better, boot ubuntu and copy/move the files to a windows partition. then, to prevent further trouble, change your ubuntu download location to a windows drive [23:11] Ok thanks MirkoKa [23:12] I do Java, and am learning C/++/ASM. I plan too learn Python before I turn 15 though. [23:12] Thanks everybody for the help. [23:12] How to properly shutdown an X server? [23:12] chull2058: to save time, when you are in ubuntu, you could mount your windows partition, and then link over the directories you need access too. That way you can put all of your downloads, docs, music etc into a common folder between both operating systems. [23:13] iHarp, sudo service lightdm stop [23:13] ty [23:13] So is anyone here >=13? [23:13] iris: what do you mean? [23:13] I mean <=13. [23:13] Under or equal to 13. [23:13] iris: are you 13? [23:13] in age? [23:13] Yeah. [23:13] 12 actually. [23:13] oh, well im a year older than that [23:13] In 2.5 months I am 13. [23:13] or not [23:13] 14 [23:14] hypershock, Great Idea - Thanks! [23:14] yeah, we were all 13 at one time. [23:14] iris: that is offtopic here. but age doesn't count. turned 36 on sunday ;-) [23:14] Well currently. [23:14] Sorry just curious. [23:14] ugh I turn the big 40 in July :( [23:14] how do you shutdown a x server if you are using something other than lightdm? [23:15] chull2058: that's nothing, wait until your teeth fall out. [23:15] such as gdm? [23:15] christhisisgool: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [23:15] christhisisgool: or kdm [23:15] haha, you are right about that. [23:15] thanks [23:15] Bye Ubuntu enthusiasts, thank you for your help. [23:16] hola [23:16] christhisisgool: btw, hitting ctrl alt del, your ubuntu system will pick that up and restart everything for you too. [23:16] algun español? [23:16] thanks guys, time for me to go [23:16] !es | yamal [23:16] yamal: 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. [23:16] i wasnt looking to restart the whole system, just log out of a x server that was started from a command line [23:16] hello all, i am pretty new to linux and have run into a problem, i have had this laptop for quite some time, and have had everything running fine, well i havent started it for a while so yesterday i booted her up and had some updates to install, so i installed them and played around with some stuff, and when i got home from work today i booted it up and now i only have read access to everything in my own home folder, are there any kn [23:16] own issues leading to this or did i mess something up? [23:16] can one add a sudo option so a user can only install packages? or is there a group for it [23:16] hypershock, nozap has been set in xorg for a while now [23:16] help, how to start services/servers just after reboot? is /etc/init the only way to go? seems to me my web server isn't there, yet it does start after reboot. [23:17] no puedo instalar paquetes x86 en mi ordenador que tiene ubuntux86 alguien me lo explica? en el ubuntu software center me dice que error de arquitectura [23:17] linuxjones: try to log in as root and then change all of the permissions that way [23:17] escott: really, cause I have no problem rebooting my system by hitting that combo using 11.10 [23:17] by typing in sudo su [23:17] then nautilus [23:17] in the terminal [23:18] sudo su nautilus [23:18] wangor: see chkconfig [23:18] escott: yeah, just tried it, it intercepts and asks me what to do, with a timer, and if i don't respond, it continues with the reboot. [23:18] hypershock, ahh sorry thought you said ctrl-alt-backspace [23:18] oops thought for a moment that this would take html [23:18] thanks [23:18] escott: aye and that explains why that don't work, so i learned something today. :) [23:19] christhisisgool: that's not the recommended way to get root in ubuntu. 'sudo -i' will do it. [23:19] hello [23:19] christhisisgool, well in the permissions tab of the properties it says i have read & write but i dont, delete is greyed out and everything [23:19] christhisisgool: if you want to do stuff like that use pastebin and send the channel the link. [23:19] christhisisgool, will that make a difference? [23:20] christhisisgool, if you startx then you close your last xterm or if you have a session manager then you close that and x closes [23:20] help! [23:20] sorry. wrong chat [23:21] ok thanks guys. [23:21] oh, and linuxjones, no it shouldnt matter whether you use that or not [23:23] Ex-Chat [23:23] * hypershock notes that when you think this is better than cybering, the you might be a geek! === lance_ is now known as Guest9322 === SaRSAeOL_ is now known as SaRSAeOL [23:38] im back! this may be a dumb question, but is there a way to restore my computer to a fresh install of ubuntu without actually reinstalling? [23:39] linuxjones: not that I know of, that would be to purge everything and the reinstalling them again :) [23:39] can i install kde in ubuntu? [23:40] simplew: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [23:41] ok thank you [23:43] Hey everyone. [23:43] Is there a /var/log that contains segfaults? [23:45] KommaH: no. segfaults are immediate and critical failures of a process, unless there is some monitoring process there is no chance to catch and log a segfault. what problem are you facing [23:45] MirkoKa: Ah, just trying to help a developer debug a sneaky bug. [23:45] Application quits with no error whatsoever. We think it might be due to a segfault. [23:47] Well, anyways, thanks for the help. We'll probably wind up using gdb. Just wondering if there was a shortcut. [23:47] KommaH: have you tried running it in strace? [23:47] Ta-ta for now. [23:47] Hm? Never used strace before. [23:47] KommaH: segfaults should be reported to stderr. if there is nor error message at all, then either it's no segfault, or the program behaves really, really, bad. strace, ltrace or a debugger should help [23:48] Thanks so much for the helpful advice. Props to MirkoKa and skel! === AntORG_ is now known as AntORG [23:50] hello [23:50] can anyone help me, I'm ina bit of a jam [23:51] !ask | Sedativ [23:51] Sedativ: 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 [23:52] I have a problem with my ISP ... I have to change my IP address on one of my servers as fast as possible, and change it in Apache and Bind as well ... can anyone give me some advice? [23:52] Sedativ: gnudip [23:53] Sedativ: whats the problem you have? [23:54] why do is needed 13o mb to install konversation??? [23:54] well first I need to add a subnet to my router ... I have bought the ips since last year but ... I can't manage to set them up on my router ... and then I need to figure out a way to change the ip on my server wihtout any down time [23:54] why do is needed 130 mb to install konversation??? === torm3nt is now known as Oddman [23:55] simplew: KDE program, so it needs all the KDE libraries [23:55] simplew: programs take up space [23:55] and what he said ^ [23:55] daftykins: It's not kde, it's Qt :) [23:55] it did NOT showed, told me that what packages were neeeded to install, neither asked me if i wanted to install any needed packages, what packae management tool is this??? [23:56] simplew: because it's a KDE program and Ubuntu ships only with Gnome by default, so you need to install the basic QT/KDE libs too [23:56] simplew: it's a simple one... [23:56] It did not told me nothing!!! [23:56] it did not asked me nothing!!! [23:56] bkc_: baaaaah. what's the distinction? [23:56] the distintion?!? well i would prefer not to install if it neded all those packages!!! [23:56] Qt == graphics-lib, KDE = Desktop-manager :) [23:56] the purpose of a package managment tool is to make sure that you have all the dependencies without having to go and find them yourlself. [23:57] simplew: what did you use to install the package? [23:57] so, if you would rather hunt down all of the deps yourself, then you can go without package management [23:57] so far all the package management tools asked me if i wanted to continue with the isntalation where there was more packages to install, in which this is clrearly not the case [23:57] what a crpa [23:57] crap* [23:58] simplew: what program did you use? [23:58] simplew: don't blame the tool... [23:58] im using ubuntu app to manage packages [23:58] named: Ubuntu Software Management [23:58] simplew: if you want finer grained control, you can use apt-get or aptitude [23:58] simplew: personal opinion: don't use the software center. it's broken in so many ways. use Synaptic. [23:58] could someone please prv me for my problem? I'm having trouble following this chat [23:58] agreed with mirkoka [23:58] MirkoKa: yes its a crap [23:59] it should always ask user to continue the isntalation or not [23:59] simplew: MirkoKa works fine for most people I know [23:59] simplew: really? It should? [23:59] yes it should [23:59] a normal manager would [23:59] so far all the ones i used did asked [23:59] simplew: for me perhaps, but this is perhaps not the best approach for everyone [23:59] ALWAYS
