[00:00] it will always ask you [00:00] but clearly i dont like this desktop, i dont even find a way to have a simple icon to call a manu to list isntalled apps, even windows have it, [00:01] I'm 99% sure there is no way to change that without actually modifying the source code. I don't even think you can turn it off in Synaptic [00:01] im trully disapointed with this ubuntu thing, good i didnt install it and simply run the live c [00:01] simplew: then it is not for you, cheers [00:02] what desktop? Unity? === _mattgyver is now known as mattgyver [00:02] meganerd: no progess bar, no way to know upfront how much will be downloaded, no info about dependencies, totaly useless error messages, etc. works in perfect situations, but honestly it's just c*p ;-) [00:02] clearly is not [00:02] dniMretsaM: i dont know, i simply runned live cd [00:02] is anyone here good at networking ? [00:03] MirkoKa: not everyone actually needs all that. The error reporting perhaps, but there are 70+ year olds in my family who have not had problems in years [00:03] hi there.I used ddrescue to rescue data from a drive.my problem is that can't mount this image with mount -o loop [00:03] i was expecting that ubuntu was a good thing, that would surprise me for the positive, but it surprised me for the negative [00:03] simplew: do not give up on ubuntu just because you are using a stupid gui to do your package management. if you want to see the total list of stuff that you are going to have installed, then use apt-get, not a gui that takes away all the hard parts [00:03] Sedativ: what's your question/problem [00:03] zsolt: did you ddrescue the whole drive or just a partition [00:03] christhisisgool: im talking about the all desktop [00:03] the whole drive [00:03] christhisisgool: he is a hater, all he will find are things that he dislikes. [00:03] simplew: if it's the latest Ubuntu version, then yes. It's Unity. Unity takes some getting used to. plus the version you're running is 6 months old. the version in the release that's coming on Thursday is much better [00:04] christhisisgool: just let him go [00:04] sorry if i mean hangry [00:04] it is a small 16mb fat mmc disk [00:04] simplew: there are many options for the desktop. You don't have to use the one installed. [00:04] but i was expecting other thing [00:04] I need to add a second Ip to my server, also I am haveing big trouble following this chat so if someone could help me plz prv me [00:04] wylde: i did alredy runned them all [00:04] Sedativ: you might want to try the ubuntu server channel [00:04] simplew: what other thing? [00:04] !derivatives | simplew [00:04] simplew: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [00:04] but in the end, i prefer kde [00:04] whoops wrong one [00:05] zsolt: this is actually kind of a hard problem. I had to do something like this a couple of years ago [00:05] Note: this is meant friendly! :-) "MirkoKa: not everyone actually needs all that" I keep hearing that nonsense all day about Gnome as a justification for removing vbery vital, important, basic, usefull and what not functionality in Gnome. please dont thing in terms of "not everybody" but in terms of "most of" and "what do we lose" :-) [00:05] simplew: you could also look at xubuntu and lubuntu [00:05] simplew: KDE is my favourite desktop [00:05] isnt there a live CD for kde? [00:06] than what do you recomend?got important data on it,it is lost by an accidentaly quick formatting [00:06] simplew: yes, its called kubuntu [00:06] simplew: yes, Kubuntu [00:06] zsolt: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=d0411b66fa1979f2f331263b2f6b8f7a&t=892237 [00:06] hwo can i get it? === NSP is now known as |NSP| [00:06] thank you [00:06] MirkoKa, you be preaching to the choir. :) [00:06] zsolt: also https://www.meganerd.ca/site/node/11 [00:06] simplew. www.kubuntu.com [00:06] and the way this desktop is done is just to dificult access, what a crap [00:07] ok thabks, i will download kubuntu to see how it goes [00:07] simplew, you get what you pay for.. stop whining man [00:07] simplew: good luck! [00:07] simplew: http://www.kubuntu.org [00:07] consfearacy: its not whining, its just disapointment [00:08] i really was expecting something better [00:08] simplew, get a refund then [00:08] simplew: this is the support channel. Do you have an actual support question? [00:08] how come when i run c++ console apps in ubuntu it uses xterm and not gnome terminal? [00:08] simplew: I hate Unity, but I can still take the Ubuntu base and make it awesome. YMMV. [00:08] consfearacy: :) [00:09] People. Do any of you like Windows? [00:09] no [00:09] no windows [00:09] no [00:09] i do... i am on win7 [00:09] everyone is on mac and linux [00:09] hate windows [00:09] meganerd: yes i believe you, but for who runs live cd its a crap [00:09] no win7 [00:09] iris, I love windows, for gaming [00:09] !0t | iris [00:09] no winxp [00:09] josefnpat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:09] not even for gaming pfifo [00:09] !ot | iris [00:09] iris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:09] wait till gaming comes more to linux :) [00:10] To all of the people saying that we should just let simplew go, realize this: we are the minority. We are trying to get more users. If not, we will, in essence, die, whether it be from lack of clicks on the advertisements we put up since nobody will pay for our software since it is mainstream, or because there is simply not enough developers. We need more people to think that this is a good thing. This is the reason that [00:10] people get scared away, when somebody is trying to figure things out, and we know that they came from a bad environment ( aka windows) then we have to treat them better if we want to make it longer. Hope this changes some peoples minds. [00:10] oh snap, wrong channel. [00:10] vexaxv, if that happens great, but I still prefer to run games native [00:10] anybody know why the default terminal for compiling c++ console apps is xterm and not gnome terminal?? [00:10] what is simplew? [00:10] pfifo, i do too which is why im programming and love cross platform [00:10] can sum1 plz tell me how to fix my install [00:10] that guy that came on complaining [00:11] kingofswords, what install? [00:11] vexaxv: how do you call your program? [00:11] utube keeps crashing vid is choppy and always get slowdown even thou ram cpu isnt being usd up [00:11] 10.04 [00:11] lts [00:11] i cant reinstall [00:11] call it? [00:11] iris: I use win7 only for playing Left4Dead :) [00:11] im just learning c++ im new to it [00:11] *only* [00:11] lol [00:12] call what? [00:12] vexaxv, wine is great, but installing XP for games is so much better [00:12] if i do a simple cout its in xterm not gnome terminal [00:12] Hehe. [00:12] wine sux fpr what i do [00:12] *for [00:12] vexaxv: i mean how do you execute it [00:12] pfifo, i dont want to use emulaters (unless its like the ps3 or somethin) i prefer native games too [00:12] yup, overall windows for gaming is a much better solution but that is starting to change [00:12] I'm new to IRC and nobody wouldanswer for offtopic. [00:12] MirkoKa, code::blocks ide [00:12] What coding IRCs are there? [00:12] vexaxv: make sure that your default terminal emulator is set to gnome terminal [00:13] TeeAl, i agree lol [00:13] iris: /list [00:13] ah hell dont tell me thats in the settings [00:13] !alis | iris [00:13] iris: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [00:13] christhisisgool, how do i do that [00:13] i think it is somewhere in the settings, default applications [00:13] pfifo: well... wine works for all programs/games I've tried... but getting steam to work is kind of a pain in the a** :/ [00:14] vexaxv: see the codeblocks config. theres should be a way to set the exact command to execute your program. why do you bother? [00:14] wow i found it [00:14] why in http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download#download-block is recommended to download 32 bits??? [00:14] XenoDuck: LW11 works perfectly in wine :) [00:14] bkc_, working and getting optimal FPS are 2 different things [00:14] but its on xterm "xterm -T $TITLE -e" [00:14] -max [00:14] dunno the code for gnome terminal [00:14] -max [00:14] -max n [00:14] ffs y does ubumtu keep fuknup? [00:14] simplew: because then you can use it even if you have a 64 bit pc === tanglong is now known as shunyiyi [00:14] it will work on either cpu architecture [00:15] !ffs | kingofswords [00:15] kingofswords: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:15] anyone know what to type for the gnome terminal xterm is "xterm -T $TITLE -e" [00:15] pfifo: wasn't refering to fps... was refering to actually installing steam :) [00:15] is this a help channel or not? [00:15] christhisisgool: thats not a logic explanation ince now all pcs are 64bits support [00:15] I really screwed up my audio system and don't know what to do. I was having problems with choppy audio and removed pulseaudio. I reinstalled it now, but things are really messed up [00:15] i always recommend 64 bits [00:16] vexaxv: ignoring the title option it is "gnome-terminal -e" [00:16] hampsterblade, install pulseaudio volume control and mess with the locks on channels and volume [00:16] hampsterblade, had the same issue till i fixed it, goodluck [00:16] anyone here with debian packaging experience? [00:16] MirkoKa, can u explain why thats what i have to type? [00:16] simplew: it is still recommended since you also get more executable support, as in many binaries are still in the format of 32 bit. also, its best for people who do not know what type of cpu they have, if you know that you have 64 bit, then go for 64 bit [00:16] it's installed but now my computer isn't detecting any of my sound cards [00:16] MirkoKa, like, whats the -e for? [00:17] pulseaudio volume control says Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK [00:17] utube keeps crashing vid is choppy and always get slowdown even thou ram cpu isnt being usd up [00:17] hello, I'm trying to build a somewhat old program and I'm getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm \n collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [00:18] kingofswords: "ubuntu keeps f*cking up" isn't a valid question, hence nobody is answering to you non-question :) [00:18] MirkoKa, -e didnt work made it close after open but -x worked, what the heck do the two mean? [00:18] all I could find on Google was to install glibc-static, which I don't have in my Ubuntu 10 repos [00:18] kingofswords: that's called flash, it's the devils work, and will almost never work correctly ^^ [00:18] can sum1 plz tell me how to fix my install? is a q bkc_ [00:18] i see that in console, tab only works if i hit 2 times the atb key, isnt possible to put it working only with one hit? [00:19] not i dont have these probs with xp [00:19] Yeah, I'm definitely missing something important. Pulseaudio is refusing all connections [00:19] does anyone know why google plus (hangouts) i have flickering on my cam [00:19] kingofswords: actually, that's not a valid question either :/ I still have to guess what your problem is, instead of you telling me... [00:19] hampsterblade, just mess around with it, took me a little bit too [00:20] is this a help channel or not? [00:20] utube keeps crashing vid is choppy and always get slowdown even thou ram cpu isnt being usd up [00:20] vexaxv: xterm is the command name for one possible terminal. gnome-terminal is the command name for the program you want. both xterm and gnome.terminal recognize the -e option but there's a difference. both Execute (or eXecute) the given program. bad that gnome-terminal doesn't follow convention [00:20] then got ignored [00:20] isnt possible to call the console from the nautilus window? [00:20] hampsterblade, type alsamixer into the command window and check it out then the volume control [00:20] kingofswords: I'm guessing you either don't have the proper gfx-drivers, or incorrect flash-plugin :) [00:20] i do [00:21] theyre all updated too [00:21] MirkoKa, okay sorry long day so the difference between -e and -x are? [00:21] I'm trying to build a somewhat old program and I'm getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm \n collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [00:21] all I could find on Google was to install glibc-static, which I don't have in my Ubuntu 10 repos [00:21] figured it out, pulseaudio wasn't running just had to type pulseaudio in the command [00:21] is there a virus prtection or prog that can fix my install? [00:21] hampsterblade, ah told ya :P [00:21] kingofswords: viruses? in my linux?! hehehe :P [00:22] hampsterblade, jk wish i knew lol [00:22] kingofswords: there is no need for virus protection in linux [00:22] hampsterblade, weird though [00:22] why? [00:22] kingofswords: what's the cpu-usage when on utube? [00:22] do you actually have a virus? [00:22] Now I just wished I could figure out how to get hardware accelerated audio working in wine [00:22] there have been sum cases of virus inlinux? fair enough extremely rare? [00:22] well, many reasons. one you must be root to run things, two its less common so you are far less likely to get it. [00:22] ubuntu doesnt have an app to manage the system? like for example opensuse haves yast? [00:22] simplew: ubuntu uses apt [00:23] vexaxv: depends on the terminal emulation program (xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal, etc) can't tell a general rule. try and use what works [00:23] kingofswords: because linux has approx 100 viruses (most of them ad-ware) while windows has plenty ^^ [00:23] bkc_, 26-50% [00:23] christhisisgool: that a package management tool only [00:23] MirkoKa, k any idea why my video in google plus video is flickering black, so was minecraft [00:23] simplew: if im not horribly misguided, i am pretty sure thats what yast is also [00:23] theres my point...always rare there r sum [00:23] christhisisgool: well so your horribly misguided in fact [00:23] kingofswords: then there is something wrong with the flash-installations :) [00:23] bkc_, what? [00:24] everytime i come in here to ask for help i get update gfx, update lfash etc..none of this has solved it [00:24] for months i had this prob..then i just get sarcastic answers [00:24] kingofswords: ram-usage? [00:25] 1gb out of 4gb [00:25] bkc_, 1gb out of 4gb [00:25] kingofswords: this may be a bug on 10.04. try seeing if there is a bug already filled out for it, and if not, fill one out yourselft [00:25] *yourself [00:26] filling out bugs never solves it thou [00:26] kingofswords: ubuntu version? [00:26] 10.04lts [00:26] alternate i think [00:26] kingofswords: it might solve it, if they can reproduce it :) [00:26] my CD drive isn't detecting? === zorg24 is now known as Dr_Zorg24 [00:26] anyone know what causes a black flickering video on a webcam or a game of minecraft? [00:27] Is it possible to access a router's admin console from outside, the internet? [00:27] UIM did you mount it? or check the jumpers in BIOS [00:27] but anyway kingofswords, i am pretty sure you dont have more than a year left to be on that version anyway, so you might as well get with the latest version now [00:27] vexaxv: florescent lights, crt-screens, refresh-rate, etcmetcmetc...

[00:27] anybody have experience with halo in wine? [00:27] bkc_, its not any bit of hardware [00:27] const_antine: this is an Ubuntu forum, not a router forum [00:27] christhisisgool, im not interested in new install [00:28] maybe next yr [00:28] const_antine: not related to ubuntu (unless you have a ubuntu-based router) but look for "remote management" [00:28] vexaxv: so the screen is flickering? [00:28] ok,tryed everything [00:29] looks like fat12 is not vfat [00:29] look where? [00:29] bkc_, when i use google plus video on my webcam yes, when i play minecraft yes [00:30] hey could someone help me out with something real quick? [00:30] I've run into a little problem [00:30] vexaxv: turn on "vsync" [00:30] mount -o loop /rec.img /mnt/ -t vfat syslog says not a valid vfat [00:31] anyone? just a small VPN problem [00:31] it says this: #Change the VPN subnet address to one that makes sense to you (and don't collide with any other net) [00:31] server 10.9.0.0 255.255.255.0 [00:31] bkc_, well idc for locking the frame rate and refresh rate together thats for screen rips, besides i dont play minecraft anymore..i want google plus video and voice to work right and not cause black flickering on hangouts [00:31] I'm not sure what to put beside server tho [00:32] jesus fuking christ this is ridiculus [00:32] !language | kingofswords [00:32] kingofswords: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[00:37] kingofswords, what´s happened? [00:37] Hello. How can I run a program and tell it where to place on the desktop and to always stay on top? [00:37] utube keeps crashing vid is choppy and always get slowdown even thou ram cpu isnt being usd up [00:37] plus os freezes sometimes [00:38] vlt: not really reliable, but tools like xdotool help with that [00:38] vlt i belive compiz has a window-rules plugin that can do some of that. theres also an app called 'devilspie' i think thaat can tweak those settings [00:38] I'm trying to build a somewhat old program and I'm getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lm \n collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [00:38] all I could find on Google was to install glibc-static, which I don't have in my Ubuntu 10 repos [00:38] MirkoKa, dr_willis: Thank you. [00:39] How do I get a Pulse Audio controlled device to work? Device is Creative SoundBlaster Live! running on 11.10. [00:39] anoninux: you may need to compile the libcollect2 or whatever its called firt [00:39] kingofswords: first off if you are not aware, this channel while monitored by canonical is not staffed by canonical, we are all users of ubuntu just like you. also, 99.9% of us, with the exception of you are likely using 11.10 or better. That said. When did the vid chopping start? [00:39] My avahi doesn't work... any way I can find out why? [00:40] dr_willis, I'll look on it, thanks [00:40] hypershock, months ago [00:41] kingofswords: so its going to be hard to find out what you installed that caused the issue. what are your hardware specifications? [00:41] hey guys [00:41] i need a littel solution [00:42] Can anyone can tell me how to add new tool in main list? [00:42] hypershock, i keep getting 2 install this , install that without fully understand what it is....i think prob started wen i used sum cache cleaner tool [00:42] ! info alacarte [00:42] ubuntu__: what ? [00:42] i thought whole point of update mgnr was to sort out problems with installs [00:42] i want to ad a tool in my main menu list [00:43] kingofswords: yeah, Linux manages its own cache just fine, we shouldn't be messing with it. did you dump that program? [00:43] kingofswords: yes it is, however, you have to dist-upgrade to as the support (and updating) of old versions stops after some time :) [00:43] as in your case... [00:43] hypershock, dump it? i still have it [00:44] bkc_ so 10.4 isnt updated any more [00:44] ubuntu__: which ubuntu version? [00:44] why is ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 unity animation slow & buggy [00:44] kingofswords: the cache cleaner? is it running all the time? if so you probably should at minimum deactivate it. How much ram do you have? [00:44] ubuntu__: you can make a. desktop file to create custome launchers. the askubuntu. com sitee had a few good guides on the topic [00:44] bkc_, it's supported for another year [00:44] Recently i upgraded to 11.10 form 10.10 which i had for about two years. since the upgrade, i noticed that the menu bar doesn't have app menus like jungle disk and spider oak. what's the best way to see these apps in the menu bar? [00:45] hypershock, 4gb [00:45] bazhang: fudge :( [00:45] actually i want to add my own tool [00:45] in main menu list [00:45] ubuntu__: make a proper whater. desktop launcher file for it. [00:46] dr_willis: not neccessary :) [00:46] kingofswords: I feel your pain brother, I have a dual core 1.6ghz 4gb system that slows down on video and flash, however, i traced my problems to an overheated video subsystem. Ironically rebooting speeds it up again. But it is definately hardware, cause when I boot with my windows drive, it's the same issue. [00:46] i save tool in root directy [00:46] given the lack of details.. hard to tell [00:46] and trying to add in main menu [00:46] from prefences [00:46] ubuntu__: iirc you can add both applications and scripts from mainmenu-prefs :) [00:47] i see a main menu list and jungle disk desktop is checked [00:47] the alacarte program lets you edit your menus also, [00:47] kingofswords: so, yeah, i've been hunting for software answers for quite some time before realizing my machine is dieing. so If we can think this through maybe we can restore your faith in the Ubuntu community. [00:47] avahi-daemon is not running for me when I start up ubuntu 11.11.... in the right hand corner of my screen, it tells me my discovery is not working... anyone else having similar problem? help. thanks. [00:47] yes what i did [00:47] hypershock, it was called bleachbit and i still have...dont know if its running all time thou [00:47] but it said you dont have permisson [00:47] ubuntu__: again wich Ubuntu version? with the classic version, right-click the menu and then use the menu editor, don't know about the new Unity interface [00:47] How do I get a Pulse Audio controlled device to work? Device is Creative SoundBlaster Live! running on 11.10. [00:48] hypershock, my xp works fine with video thats prob, when it gets real bad i revert to xp and hate using it as i didnt want to connect to net with it [00:48] !sound [00:48] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [00:48] this is not reallu ubuntu .but it is ubuntu based [00:48] kingofswords: oh god, that's it, I tried that once and regretted it hard. I performed an overlay install just to reset things. By overlay, I mean I didn't have to nuke my home directory. Thankfully bleachbit is kind of like ccleaner on windows, its a one shot deal. so don't be constantly using it. [00:49] hey [00:49] kingofswords: see, so we know its some kind of config issue. What the highest flash version you are using and is it the one authorized by adobe? === SHIFT_ is now known as _shift === _shift is now known as _shift_ === _shift_ is now known as shift_ [00:49] ubuntu__: the menus and launcers are generated from various .desktop files you can make a custome .desktop file to launch whater you want. and if you do it right it will show up in the menus. === shift_ is now known as shift__ [00:49] hypershock, u already did restore...thank you it a releif somebody actual agrees this is a problem and not just a need to update gfx or flash [00:50] alright i will try [00:50] flash has been a problem for years. ;) [00:50] kingofswords: yeah, i agree, bleachbit shouldn't be in the system by default. [00:50] dr_willis, do you know how to add apps to unity? i cannot see settings for jungle disk but the app launches, for example [00:50] hypershock, its 11.xxx waas latest i cud find on synetic [00:51] Jungle-Boogie: make a proper .desktop file for it. for a launcher. [00:51] i presumed it as authorized ver [00:51] kingofswords: and which browser are you using? [00:51] Hey everybody, it's me again. :D [00:51] I have another question. [00:51] is there a collection of packeges that I should have to hapily run xfce from a vanilla install? [00:51] that's necessary. dr_willis? [00:52] kingofswords: a interesting test would be to make a new user and see if it works for them. IF it did.. that woud point to a user setting issue [00:52] kingofswords: dr_willis has a good point. [00:52] dr_willis, its not a problem , its almost impossible to use, 4 or 5 times refresh to get video to show..and almost always crashes with error rreport or stalls at 10 seconds for some werid reason [00:52] Jungle-Boogie: launchers are defined by the verious .desktop files.. thats the core of the menu system [00:52] How would I go about using tcpdump and wireshark to observe UDP packet rates on a specific port? [00:52] rinzler: the xfce packages a few from xorg (not all) and whatever packages you need to do whatever it is you use your computer for [00:53] kingofswords: are you using firefox, chromium or google chrome? [00:53] unity feels slow :( [00:53] celthunder: can you give me names? [00:53] ok guys how do i make a new user...i switch to ubuntu as i thought it was user interface friendly so wouldnt have to use cmd prompt much [00:53] darren: you did install the proper 3d drivers for your video card? [00:53] hypershock, chromium mainly, ff when something doesnt work === pepee_ is now known as pepee [00:53] i installed the recommended one [00:53] Theres an adduser tool in the settings somewhere.. i just find it faster to do 'sudo adduser billgates' [00:53] rinzler: did you do a vanilla install of stock ubuntu? or xubuntu? [00:53] rinzler: no..i niether use xfce nor want to.. [00:54] milamber stock [00:54] rinzler: so you have the gnome desktop, to install xubuntu, from the terminal do: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [00:54] so the only icons listed in unity by default are the mail, nework, time, online accounts and logout? if i want others, i need to create a .desktop file, dr_willis? [00:54] from an irc tech support point of view. its much easier to give a simple command line command. then to try to talk someone through the menus/gui tools also. :) [00:54] kingofswords: hmm and when it crashes do you get the dreaded "aww, snap" error? or something else? [00:54] rinzler: then you will be able to select xfce from the log in string [00:55] dr_willis, will that add another home folder than/ [00:55] screen* === lion42 is now known as Guest36989 [00:55] Jungle-Boogie: i think you are being confused/vague.. i am refering to the launcher apps in the app menus... every editor, video player, chat client, so forth has a matching .desktop file that are read when the gui launches. [00:55] hypershock, wen flash crashes i do...but when utube crashed its error......s'thing other [00:55] i just read something disturbing... "Two weeks ago a Linux Foundation report showed that since version 2.6.32, Microsoft had committed more code to the Linux kernel than Canonical." [00:56] milamber: cool, thanks. I just installed the xfce4 package, so I'm getting to realise that there's a lot of ubuntu-specific stuff missing, so I hope this helps. [00:57] rinzler: the xubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, it will install everything you need. the only issue is you can't uninstall it the same way. [00:58] dr_willis, yeh true....i ok with basic cmds, but when it get too complicated lose my bearing and dont understand what ive done 2 pc....which makes problems un solvable as i cant backtrace [00:58] kingofswords: have you tried making sure that flash has been told to use unlimited ram resources? [00:58] sorry for being vague. are you familiar with the menu bar in unity? what i am calling the menu bar is where the clock is. pre-unity, it was possible to right click on the menu bar. current unity doesn't do anything when i right click. is this typical? it makes it difficult to add things to the menu bar [00:58] jayar: 1. don't trust statistics, 2. canonical is unfortunatley known for not adding very much to the kernel. 3. MS contributions are most related to virtualization. 4. so what? [00:59] Jungle-Boogie: yeah, you have to left click now. [00:59] well that doesn't work anyway [00:59] Jungle-Boogie: they have streamlined the # of apps that can add icons to the indicator-applet tray at the top right to avoide clutter. also you cant really just add items/widgits like you could in gnome2 again - to try to reduce clutter [00:59] hypershock, yeh think so...plus i untick that box for ...i cant remeber what its called [01:00] dr_willis, do i need reboot 4 new user to show? [01:00] kingofswords: have you check proprietary drivers app to see if you have latest driver for your vid card? [01:00] Jungle-Boogie: if an app wants to add an icon there now. it also needs to be 'whitelisted' i recall. saw a guide on that at the webupd8 blog site [01:00] hypershock, yeh many times [01:00] kingofswords: should appear at the login screen [01:00] this lead to more problem tbh [01:00] yes, whitelisted with dconf-editor === CamC_ is now known as CamC [01:02] MirkoKa: k [01:03] dr_willis, its same in billgates login [01:04] kingofswords: that points to asystem issue then .not a user config issue. googles chrome browser also has its own built in flash that may be worth testing. Flash can be a royal pain, its often hard to trouble shoot, [01:05] its also possible some of your other attempts to fix it have broken things in a way that other fix;s might have worked.. its just hard to tell. [01:05] kingofswords: I'm sorry, I'm stumped, but did you try and create a new user and see if they issue still presents itself there. [01:05] dr_willis, so a fresh install is only option? [01:06] i also recall some flashfix extension.. but never used it. [01:06] hypershock, yeh just tested it and same...well crashed straight away [01:06] kingofswords: hard to tell. 12.04 is due out in a few days, may be worth the effort to backup imoirntant stuff and just do a clean install, [01:06] dr_willis, flashfix extension? or prog? [01:07] kingofswords: no idea really. ive never used it just seen it mentioned in here a few times. [01:07] I rarely even use flash these days === Jasonn is now known as juicy [01:07] youtube can do html5 ;) [01:07] how do I install glibc-static libs on ubuntu 10 LTS? [01:07] kingofswords: so that means the problem isn't with any user configs, its definately with something installed at OS level, and could also be a config issue. [01:08] dr_willis, its hard...i have ssd hdd with xp....took me days to install dual lboot last time as xp doesnt contain ssd drivers so doesnt see it [01:08] hypershock, its not poss to reinstall certain parts of the os? [01:08] kingofswords: I have a thought. do you have your livecd handy? if you do you could boot your system with it and see if the problem is there. [01:08] ok i add to menu list now problem is there icon showing of launcher..i want to change icon [01:09] kingofswords: my main ubuntu install is on a 16 gb usb flash drive. ;) i dont have to touch the windows drive at all, [01:09] kingofswords: oh, you can reinstall parts of the OS, but you have to know which parts you need to reinstall to be effective. [01:09] ubuntu__, what version of ubuntu [01:09] dr_willis, i did have a weird things going on with my boot screen....seems to be lots more option to choose from now [01:09] anoninux: do you have build-essential? [01:09] i ma using ubuntu based backtrack [01:09] dr_willis, like its been copying itself but changing the ver number up [01:09] ubuntu__, thats not supported here [01:09] i am new to linux [01:09] dr_willis: is it slow for you much? [01:09] ohh ic [01:09] kingofswords: each new kernel version adds an entry [01:09] anyone with packaging experience? [01:10] #backtrack-linux for that ubuntu__ [01:10] but i can have idea [01:10] hypershock: for my web surfing and ircing. i dont notice any speed issues [01:10] Hi. I just logged on ubuntu 12.04 and I opened terminal trying to install an application. But I get the message "couldn't block /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: resource temporally not available). And couldn't find the application. What may be happening? Ubuntu software center is closed... thanks! [01:10] how to change icon [01:10] ubuntu__, yes, in the backtrack channel [01:10] milamber : installing the pkg right now [01:10] dr_willis: you must have usb 2.0 or better then. [01:10] ok brother [01:10] thanks alot [01:10] ubuntu__, /join #backtrack-linux [01:10] dr_willis, had alot of problems with my grub wen i first installed too [01:11] hypershock: yes.. i do have pcs that are not dug out of the trash,. ;) [01:11] hypershock, yeh do have cd somewhere..but its alternate ver, there was some problem installing with it i think [01:11] javierf_: I get a similar problem on my clients computer when their external hard drive is plugged in, try disconnecting it if you have one. [01:12] milamber : I have it installed now (same error when building) [01:12] * hypershock slaps dr_willis with a dead Salmon! Dude my machine is old, what are you implying! [01:12] i had weird issues once when my cellphone was plugged into the pc.. the usb/boot order bios scanning - got really confused, [01:12] hypershock, thanks, but there is not external hard drive... may be something different [01:13] kingofswords: hmm, that probably won't work then as if I remember right, alternate cd's don't have the live option. [01:13] hypershock: dug a celeron 700 system out of the trassh last week, ;) [01:13] well i gotta get back to real work... bbl [01:14] dr_willis, nice...thats whats so annoying i moved to linux cos i thought things wud work better and faster...ur celeron prob faster than mine [01:14] have lot of interesting software in the ubunto ,who can tell me? [01:14] ok, so... when I boot my ubuntu install, the window manager does not start up (I just installed it onto a minimal base). I type startx and it fires up. If I reboot, it's the same ol' thing over again. How can I make this permanent?? [01:15] anoninux: then check for the libc6 package [01:15] kingofswords: are you able to use your terminal when the problems occur? and if so, does "dmesg | tail" reveal anything? [01:16] where should i go just to learn how to use irc [01:16] hypershock, do i have to do wen problem occurs? [01:17] mage-_y: what's their to learn? there are tons of resources, but if you don't have a goal, it's moot. [01:17] hypershock, http://pastebin.com/y96DP1Yj if u want 2 look? [01:18] milamber : I have libc.so in /usr/lib/, but not libc6.so [01:18] mage_y: looks like there is a #irc channel. Not sure how active it is but there's a lot of ppl logged in over there. [01:18] and /usr/lib64 links to /usr/lib [01:18] How would I go about using tcpdump and wireshark to observe UDP packet rates on a specific port? [01:18] kingofswords: are you watching video now that is choppy when you did that? [01:18] anoninux: libc6 should be an available package, i believe [01:19] yes it is .. [01:19] thanks ClientAlive is that on freenode? [01:19] yes [01:19] hypershock, no whilst having utube on but not choppy [01:20] milamber : but it says I have already installed [01:20] I didn't notice it but it redirects to #freenode. Still I think it would be a good place to shoot some questions. [01:20] kingofswords: we want to do that while you are experiencing issues, else the results are useless. [01:21] ok [01:21] wait, of all the libc6, libc6-dev-i386 was not installed ... why [01:21] 阿？ [01:21] hypershock, its hard to replicate unfortuatly [01:23] milamber : it compiled!! [01:23] kingofswords: sadly, we need that information as the problem is occuring to decide where to go. Do you happen to have any of the error messages you received on hand? not just the words but the numbers too. [01:23] how did you manage to know libc6 was related with ld missing -lm ?? [01:25] anoninux: -lm is a linking issue, it means you are missing a library. if it doesn't explicitly state which one, it's usually one of the standard ones [01:25] milamber: could lm = libm ? [01:26] hypershock, no unfortualy [01:27] ill try to get it to crash === someone is now known as Guest87795 [01:31] hypershock, http://pastebin.com/40iT1pGz bit choppy now in utube [01:31] if im dual booting ubuntu and OSX, what's the best way to access the ubuntu (my main) partition in Mac? [01:31] anoninux: probably not, but it usually will tell you what library [01:31] i know mac can;t yet natively read ext4, but the macfuse situation with Lion is unclear [01:32] s/mac/osx/ [01:32] milamber : thanks a lot really, I'm trying to update this abandoned software http://uazu.net/sbagen/ [01:34] alternatively, is there a channel for mactel stuff? [01:34] anoninux: looks interesting . . . good luck, depending on where you installed it, you may have to run: sudo ldconfig and update your $PATH [01:34] How would I go about using tcpdump and wireshark to observe UDP packet rates on a specific port? [01:35] kingofswords: darn, its not helpful, the information is unchanged. [01:36] milamber : the apt-get already ran ldconfig for me, and the software it's already working [01:36] hypershock, yeh didnt seem to...guess ill just have to give in and fresh install [01:38] Howdy [01:38] hypershock, thx for all ur help though....very much appreiated but gotta call it a nie [01:38] nite [01:39] Why is Ubuntu's Firefox's Flash so laggy? [01:39] Howdy: why is firefox so laggy? ;) [01:39] Why the heck does it always /freeze/ when I'm trying to do things? [01:39] It freezes [01:39] lmao [01:39] agorecki: what freezes? [01:40] I think that it has to do with Gtk, since it always seems to be something Gtk-related when it comes "unfreezed" [01:40] Flash player on Firefox. === steve-o is now known as _steve-o [01:40] Flash player on Firefox is a bunch of.. ******** [01:40] When reorganizing bookmarks, if I drop something into another folder the whole desktop locks [01:40] lol [01:40] Until the "orange bars" come up... or whatever they are [01:40] bkc_: Firefox isn't laggy. [01:41] It's the flash player. [01:41] Howdy: it's the same plugin for firefox/chrome/opera... so it's definitively firefox if it's only in firefox :) [01:41] yeah. [01:41] Chrome's flash runs way better. [01:41] Firefox's flash is very buggy. [01:42] Opera's is OK [01:42] personally FF with fasterfox and noscript and a few other plugins runs as fast as any other browser. [01:42] hypershock, sry i just remebered i got this error msg ages ago....The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet". [01:42] I've never tried fasterfox. [01:42] Or noscript. [01:42] Maybe I should. [01:42] adblock as well, cut the scripts running is the idea. [01:43] ah [01:43] I'm going to try those. [01:43] I tried some addon for firefox that helps with flash player's bugs but it didn't work very well. [01:44] Is anyone else here using Firefox 12 beta? [01:44] does anyone know if the linux-virtual kernal has a different uname than -server? [01:44] Howdy, I find noscript easiest to use with the buttons added to the tool bar personally, it takes a bit getting used to. [01:44] Ah [01:45] I don't like buttons like that. [01:45] I think I'll just try out the fasterfox addon then. === SaRSAeOL_ is now known as SaRSAeOL === gfrog_ is now known as gfrog_home [01:46] "Key presses repeat when key is held down" Why does it keep forgetting? [01:47] What? [01:47] hello, I need help with programming GTK in C. [01:47] Can anyone running 11.10 Ubuntu give me a suggestion for a good PCI-E video card for games? [01:48] does anyone know how I can get my window manager to start when the computer boot up? [01:48] ;o [01:48] ApocGoD: radeon 6850 or 6950 [01:48] ClientAlive: which distro are you using? [01:48] Fasterfox makes Firefox's performance much better. [01:48] (in terms of speed/page loading) [01:48] so does using chrome =) [01:49] @ultrixx Thanks, how good are they for gaming? [01:49] ubuntu 12.04 server (minimal install) then I installed xorg and "awesome" window manager a few min ago. [01:49] SolarisBoy: What? [01:49] I am trying to get data from a field in GTK to be stored in a variable when a button is pressed. When I run it I keep getting an error. Here's my code: http://pastebin.com/xUefq9AV Can someone help me? [01:49] ClientAlive, at the login menu is there an option for an "awesome" desktop [01:49] ClientAlive: the difference between server and desktop is mostly that it defaults to not starting the gui by default. [01:49] ApocGoD: 6950 is VERY good, but expensive [01:49] anyone know about mactel, dual booting and such? im wondering what the best setup is to use ubuntu as my primary OS, while still being able to access the data in OSX [01:50] ClientAlive, you need a desktop manager, like gdm [01:50] @ultrixx Thanks, know of anything under 100$? [01:50] mdel: I think you should just use bootcamp. [01:51] I was kinda shooting for very lightweight (no desktop to be sure). If I have to run startx to get the window manager to start, that's fine. Maybe there's a config file somewhere that the system used when it boot's up. I could add a line in that file perhaps? [01:51] ApocGoD: no sorry, but you asked for a good card for gaming^^ how much is 6850? shouldn't be too far away from 100$ [01:52] escott: no option at login menu. Login menu is a bash shell :) [01:53] Howdy: booting the OSes is not the issue [01:53] its sharing data between them [01:53] mdel, you can't write to hfs+ unless you turn off journaling on the osx partition. so you probably want to use ntfs or fat [01:53] @ultrixx It's about 140$, which isn't bad. I do only have a PCIE x16 tho :( [01:53] ClientAlive, /etc/x11/xsession [01:54] escott: there is macfuse to read ext3 on OSX [01:54] that's my best option as far as i can tell, i just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something [01:54] Well, mdel, for me - when I dual booted, I could share files between my two OSes easily. [01:54] ApocGoD: there isn't anything better than pciex16 [01:54] escott: I'll check it out. is there something in particular I'd want to put in that file? If I run "startx" from a command line my wm fires up... [01:55] @ultrixx It's a 1.0 not a 2.0 though [01:55] ClientAlive, if you dont want to install a display manager then you have to type startx and deal with Xsessions [01:56] Interested in encrypting an entire install. I know I can do this on a new install - there is a box to check. Does this install LUKS? I installed TrueCrypt on one computer to encrypt a portion of the hard drive. [01:57] gmachine_24, the installer has an option for an encrypted home, but i dont think it has a full disk encryption. the alternate installer probably supports full disk through dmcrypt [01:58] escott: the more I think about this, the more it makes sense to leave it be that way - all things considered. Thx... [01:59] escott, yes, what I've read says I need the alternate install disc, which is no problem. Pardon my lack of knowledge - but does Ubuntu use LVM? I can't tell from what I've read and there is an lvm2 package in the repositories. [01:59] what command can I type to kill the window manager then? Just curious. [01:59] gmachine_24, lvm would also be supported through the alternate installer (the alternate installer is just the debian installer) [01:59] kill ???? [02:00] Don't use LVM. [02:00] why ubuntu console font is so ugly? [02:00] escott, should I just install the latest debian os then? [02:00] whats wrong with lvm? [02:00] Howdy - you need to say more. [02:00] So, i'll just jump right in. I had a WUBI set up, and was running it fine. Rebooted back to windows to do some video editing. When i came back, all i get it grub. Can anyone help me fix this? [02:00] You can't just say "run for the hills" [02:00] I remember killing stuff that way. I don't recall what program I had to run to find the pid. I'll have to look into it again. [02:00] it looks like someone took MS DOS fonts and maimed them to avoid lawsuit [02:00] ClientAlive "top" [02:01] gmachine_24, no. its the debian installer and supports all the options the debian installer supports, but it installs ubuntu [02:01] right on - thx [02:01] Got my console fonts set to Ubuntu font.. [02:01] gmachine_24: I once used LVM for Fedora and I couldn't mount the the partition. [02:01] escott, ok. [02:01] Lint: you can change it to what you like [02:02] Stanley00, with what? [02:02] Howdy, do you know how many people use Fedora? Perhaps it was a personal problem. :>) [02:02] Maybe, I looked it up and many people had the same problem. [02:02] gmachine_24, I hate fedora but still use her sometimes [02:02] Edit/profile Preferences if you are using Gnome-terminal [02:03] what is the "old standby" of graphical web browsers? The one that's trusted and respected. [02:03] Oh I mean the real console [02:03] VT one [02:03] Hi all [02:03] Lint: oh, my mistake. :( [02:03] edit your .bashrc [02:04] Lint, i think those get compiled into the kernel so its a bit of a pain to switch them, but there are some options [02:04] Lint, I've used it on-and-off for a decade or more. It ran SlimServer when Ubuntu choked on it for a couple versions. (Now Logitech's SqueezeCenter). It's had its uses. [02:04] does anyone knows good reading source for programming algorithms? [02:04] True, forgot you have to go into the kernel and enable the others to use them. [02:05] how to install JWM in ubuntu? [02:05] ClientAlive - I don't know. I hate them all about equally now. [02:05] ClientAlive - for me it's between Chromium and Opera. [02:06] Lint: sudo apt-get install java [02:06] ClientAlive - you can try iceweasel - a recent rendition from the Mozilla org. [02:06] gmachine_24, why would you recommend iceweasal?!?!?! [02:06] gmachine_24, why not just use firefox [02:07] escott, I did not *recommend* it. I said he could try it. Well, OK, I guess that is a recommendation. [02:07] Can anyone help? [02:08] J2 - what version of Ubuntu? [02:08] 11.04 i believe [02:08] Lord-Rayden: java is no long in gnu/linux distros... [02:08] .04 or .10 [02:08] You probably need to do a restore-grub2 [02:08] using a live boot cd === louis_ is now known as Tianhong-wang [02:08] if you can't get to a command prompt [02:08] Well, i get to a screen that says grub [02:09] grub> [02:09] J2 - right. If you have flash with downloading isos and what not try SuperGrub2 http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [02:09] Sorry - I didn't mean if you have flash. forget that part. [02:10] J2: did you update while in ubuntu? [02:10] I don't velieve so. I told it not to [02:10] believe* [02:10] J2 - boot from the CD. You can choose from the options and it will recreate your grub info including windows [02:10] I have to do it about every 3 or six months [02:10] can i burn the disk onto a dvd? [02:11] Nero kicked me out becacuse it said i needed a CD [02:11] Knock knock? [02:11] I don't have any CDs [02:11] gmachine_24: isn't iceweasel just firefox stripped of mozilla branding? [02:11] yep [02:11] J2 - no blank CDs? Yes, I suppose you can write the iso to a DVD as long as your computer will read from a DVD when booting. [02:11] sleepycat: yes - Debian or GNU's version [02:11] Can someone help me with a kind of a complicated problem? [02:12] Involving Unetbootin? [02:12] sure [02:12] what' [02:12] gmachine_24, it does. Alright, i'll burn it real quick, and be back once i get it booted [02:12] I installed jwm package but see just an empty screen after logging in [02:12] I used Unetbootin yesterday tomake 1204 to USB [02:12] what's the console command that lets you kill an app in the gui by clicking on it's window with the mouse pointer?

[02:13] no inclusion of trademarked Mozilla artwork (because of #1 above) [02:13] zykotick9, cheers bro [02:13] I tried using it on my Hard drive to install Linux without a CD, now I want the Boot Loader gone.... [02:13] It didn;t install btw [02:14] J2 - it should work. Always has for me. Just make sure to get the SuperGrub2 ....... [02:14] I was able to play with Ubuntu but the install always hung... [02:14] Anyway I got a CD now. [02:14] Though it refuses to boot from it... [02:14] J2 and then buy some CDs. [02:14] But I assume it's just not set to [02:14] Hmm,, notnsure Unetbootin was the issue. Have you tried redownloading or checking the MD5SUM of the ISO? [02:14] And I have that handled if I need to tell it to. [02:15] I'm not on the kind of internet I can do that on anymore =l [02:15] It usually hangs at "Can't unmoun /cdrom". [02:15] gmachine_24, how do i use the SuperGRUB? Does it go on the same cd as the Distro? [02:15] *unmount [02:15] (Sorry, i'm a noob) [02:15] are you one a Windows box or on linux now? [02:16] on* [02:16] Winderps [02:16] But my internet's also wierd [02:16] On a Windows Box, trying to fix a linux dual boot. [02:16] There was a program to check MD5SUM for windows,, ehh forget were to get it though.. [02:16] Doesn't do this with Linux but I have to proxy through my router -.- [02:16] I am slightly confused as to who is talking to who now... [02:17] Thisguy_: FYI you don't need unetbootin for 11.10 or 12.04 ISO images, they are hybrid cd/usb - so you can use cat to put them onto a USB device [02:17] Didn't have a USB either, except my External Hard drive it wouldn't make live bootable. [02:17] J2 - no, you download the superGrub2 (not supergrub which is the first version) and burn it to a cd/dvd. then you boot from that cd/dvd and you will have a menu to choose from - one will be to restore grub2 [02:17] I DO have a CD with the ISO mastered on it [02:17] Now anyway [02:18] J2 - but it needs to go on a previously blank cd/dvd [02:18] I also like the Epiphany browser. Very fast. So shoot me. [02:18] I've really liked what I've seen in Ubuntu from the apparently-messed-up live-booted session on ubuntu. [02:19] I'd love to fix this and get it installed... [02:19] What I want to do right now is remove the Boot Loader for Unetbootin. [02:20] Hmm try booting from USB again and seeing if there is a repair option. Sorry I cant remember one distro to the next these days.. [02:20] I'm given no uninstall option =\ [02:20] I don't have a USB, it's on my HDD inside the laptop... [02:20] Thisguy_: what is your problem? [02:21] Useless install program, un-boot-from-able CD, random Boot Loader that loads a live session of the OS. [02:22] Ping [02:22] derp [02:23] Thisguy_: ...when you used unetbootin, you selected your hard disk as the target disk? [02:23] Yeah =\ [02:23] Bad choiuce in retrospect [02:23] Thisguy_: uhhh, that's not how it works... [02:23] I noticed =\ [02:24] Well can you help me? I haven't backed up and I have no Windows CD... I feel like I may be fucked... [02:24] Thisguy_, no cursing here [02:24] family language [02:24] Oh, sorry. [02:25] Thisguy_: there's a good chance you killed your partition already by seting it as unetbootin's target disk. You're going to have to find an alternat way to boot to see if you can recover anything. [02:25] Windows works. [02:25] Thisguy_, you should contact a specialist to install or remove operating systems [02:25] wow, lotsa typos... [02:25] hi, i'm in need of help [02:25] big time [02:26] doxa, give us details. [02:26] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1964356 [02:26] here's the post i put on the forums [02:26] and i have a bug report lemme pull it up [02:26] I'm on the computer at the moment, Windows works and so does the messed up Ubuntu. [02:26] How bad off am I? [02:26] Will Ubuntu ever run on my machine now? [02:26] Thisguy_: well that's good at least. [02:26] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/987595 [02:26] Launchpad bug 987595 in virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) "package virtualbox-ose-dkms 3.1.6-dfsg-2ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: virtualbox-ose kernel module failed to build" [Undecided,New] [02:28] Thisguy_: well not too bad off if you didn't nuke your windows install. Although, for anyone to help you without causing issues is going to take a LOT of explaining and answering questions on your part. [02:28] Thisguy_ does your win install partition still exist? [02:28] I can do that. I was kind of half... well, watching my language- trained in Windows. [02:28] Yes. [02:28] hi all can anyone please help me install libpng, i am getting an error on install http://pastebin.com/1YErfH2M [02:28] I never messed with its partition manually [02:29] Anything done to the partition was Unetbootin's idea [02:29] Thisguy_: just remember not to point unetbootin at your hard disk anymore >.< [02:29] Well, I did give about 100GB up in a shrink of the Primary partition with all my files in it. [02:29] That much is left as free space. [02:29] Good idea! [02:29] Derp [02:30] Thisguy, so, you can still run Windows, and Ubuntu? Anyway, since you are running Windows the first thing I would do is to back up your Windows install. You have a special problem if you really don't have a Windows DVD. [02:30] Thisguy_ maybe worth backing up and reinstalling windows first over the whole drive then do a new linux install [02:30] I don't... don't laugh but even as a sort-of seasoned computer dude I bought form walmart with windows preinstalled. [02:30] could maybe be(or have been) on a hidden partition. Recovery files I mean. [02:30] I have one... [02:31] Thisguy, what kind of computer is it? HP? [02:31] I think and hoipe [02:31] Dell =\ [02:31] if you're running recent windows you will have hidden partition [02:31] gmachine_24, superGrub2 couldn't possibly be put on a thumb drive...could it? [02:31] J2 - I have no idea. [02:31] Alright [02:31] Might as well try i [02:31] I would assume not J2... but just a guess [02:31] anyone have any ideas? [02:31] Thisguy_: I agree completely with gmachine_24 about making a backup. [02:31] osirisx11: run: sudo apt-get update; that isn't the newest version in the natty repos [02:32] Thisguy, you might check the Dell Web pages. When I bought a refurbished HP everyone bashed the idea because it came without an install DVD - but I could buy them from HP online for <$20. You might find the same with Dell. [02:32] I have an external hard drive, would backing up on to that just give me this point in time to go back to? [02:32] =l [02:32] gmachine_24: Apparently I didn't know what I was talking about when I said "graphical" web browser. I tried konqueror and I don't like it. Anyhow, I think i meant text web browser, not graphical. :) [02:32] No canz buys internet stoof [02:32] guess there's links and elinks [02:32] Thisguy, yes, it's not a 'time machine' [02:32] I have no paypal/credit card/potential for a bank account [02:32] I thought so. [02:33] Thisguy_ you should just back up your personal files and start from scratch [02:33] I thought maybe windows would ignore the boot loader for Unetbootin though... [02:33] ClientAlive - I have tried several of those. But got tired of them quickly. [02:33] Or has windows' vanilla one been over-written? [02:33] Thisguy_: only if you install windows over top of it now. Or have a windows disk to repair the mbr [02:33] [sigh] yeah, I hear ya' [02:33] Thisguy, what version of Windows are you running? [02:33] Win 7 SP 1 Home premium [02:34] I could get another one for free from the microsoft Alliance but I really want to save that one if at all possible. [02:34] try rebooting and bashing the f keys during BIOS until you get to the windows system loader menu, then you want to select repair [02:34] -_- [02:34] Ububtu 11.10 is 4MB too large for a CD [02:34] ? [02:35] I think Dell might be F11 [02:35] u need a dvd [02:35] Tried the Repair thing. System Restore didn't help. [02:35] Well, it DID get rid of that bothersome icon and label it slapped on my C drive. [02:35] But that was it... [02:35] hi, 12.04 still on schedule for final release april 26? [02:35] Thisguy, doesn't Dell allow you to create system restore discs? [02:35] It does, but I never did =\ [02:36] Thisguy, well then do it. [02:36] I always had planned to... [02:36] Would have been smart before playing with OS systems... [02:36] Thisguy, now. [02:36] Jeezus. [02:36] Alright, lemme go grab my external hard drive. [02:36] Sheesh [02:36] XD [02:36] whats his problem [02:36] hey, that's wierd! When I installed konqueror I'm pretty sure it installed nearly 1 GB of stuff (and a but load more than just 1 package). When I do a sudo apt-get remove konqueror it comes back with removing 1 package (konqueror) and only freeing 3.499 kB of space. [02:36] hmmm... [02:36] Everything, Swurl [02:37] Thisguy, dude, you want to create discs AND back up your hard drive. [02:37] ahh F8 for Dell, is that what you tried before? [02:37] when u install conquere it installed kde as well [02:37] ClientAlive, if you're using gnome or another wm, it probably installed KDE libs [02:37] Herp [02:37] konquere [02:37] Lolwut [02:37] Noob mode activate! [02:37] hi, i did something with my kernels screwed it all up while i was trying to get virtualbox installed. [02:37] I officially surrender. [02:37] not using gnome, using awesome [02:37] and then when i installed virtual box all this stuff crashed [02:37] i'm using 10.04.4 i have an older laptop [02:38] thisguy? [02:38] Yes? [02:38] someone please help me, all i want to do is learn c programming [02:38] aws counts as "another wm", ClientAlive [02:38] Run for the hills! We're out numbered! >.> [02:38] what problem are u having [02:38] I think it install 96 MB but only wants to remove a few MB worth upon removal. [02:38] wylde, I know. [02:38] ClientAlive, sudo apt-get autoremove [02:38] i have like a million crash reports [02:38] or manually remove each lib [02:38] I targetted C with unetbootin [02:38] Like a derp [02:38] please...... not the entire scenario again. [02:38] anyone know what I would have to do to get "import yaml" to work in python on a pretty vanilla 12.04 system? [02:39] ok [02:39] I'll look at the man page for that flag [02:39] What he said... [02:39] got a second pc [02:39] autoremove IS the flag [02:39] limpc, lol [02:39] No [02:39] Well, maybe I could access one. [02:39] well sorry for bothering you guys, i'll go get help elsewhere [02:39] sleepycat: try reasking in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support (until release day) [02:39] ok external hardrive or thumbdrive? [02:39] doxa, we would help if we could. [02:39] External [02:39] hi all can anyone please help me install libpng, i am getting an error on install http://pastebin.com/1YErfH2M [02:39] Swurl - we have gone over all this with him already. [02:40] then why not say you can't help i mean come on [02:40] Thisguy_ you should be able to reset your computer to factory by restarting, and bashing f8 until the 'advanced boot options' menu appears, then select repair your computer [02:40] he doesn't want to do what we tell him [02:40] there's apt-get purge too [02:40] ok plug youre external harddrive in [02:40] osirisx11: run: sudo apt-get update; that isn't the newest version in the natty repos [02:40] Aww... === J2 is now known as J2|QK [02:40] what did you install to c [02:40] I guess I could get to backing up the everything [02:40] ubuntu i guess [02:40] But will that remove the boot loader? [02:40] Thisguy_, ya think? [02:40] no === optikx is now known as stax [02:40] Chill gmachine... [02:40] (sarcasm) [02:41] ok [02:41] zykotick9: I'll try but I think its more specific to me being new to python than anything to do with 12.04 [02:41] Herp :l [02:41] * wylde sneaks out the back door... [02:41] it should give you option you clear all current partitions [02:41] Thisguy_, dude you have been here for 45 minutes and we've told you what to do but you won't do it. [02:41] oh! So autoremove just cleans up the system? It says it removes dependancies that are no longer needed/ in use [02:41] when u boot ure pc [02:41] sleepycat: doesn't matter, if you need support for anything on 12.04 right now - use #ubuntu+1 [02:41] now you're just wasting space [02:41] I understand... [02:41] try instaling ubuntu to youre external hardrive [02:41] Sot hen, factory reset being on the table, is there any other option? [02:42] zykotick9: k thanks [02:42] Swurl, tried that, Unetbootin refused it [02:42] haha sorry man, what i mean is it will delete everything first then rewrite a shiny new one [02:42] How do I ignore someone please? [02:42] =l [02:42] Ouch [02:42] gmachine_24: /ignore NICKNAME [02:42] thisguy go to #swurl and talk there [02:42] /igonre ~!@hostmask [02:43] zykotick9, thanks. (great name) [02:43] thisguy goto #swurl [02:43] Well that's embarrassing. [02:43] wow illiterate fingers tonight >.< [02:43] I;ve managed to get mysef ignored =l [02:43] On the way [02:43] oh....... as in.......... psychotic [02:43] goto #swurl and we can talk without people trolling us [02:44] haha. [02:44] ok [02:44] good luck with that [02:44] what is update-apt-xapian and why it is stoning my system? [02:44] holy crap! I saw something called "rtkit" go by in the list of stuff being removed!! root kit?? what that heck?! [02:44] Lint, please define "stoning" for me [02:44] !info rtkit [02:44] bricking?

[02:45] sleepycat: may investigate python-yaml, it seems to provide an import yaml, there may be others though (and the default json module should be able to read yaml as well) [02:45] taking 100% CPU and 100% RAM [02:45] says "-bash: !info: event not found" [02:46] it was to be run in an irc window [02:46] ubottu: I see. lol.

[02:48] naryfa, rc.local is prior to x starting [02:48] escott: it is in gnome-session-properties, and it doesn't start from there [02:48] escott: I see [02:48] is there any other ubuntu other than unity ? [02:48] krypton, unity is not a version of ubuntu. [02:49] naryfa, it works just fine for me. not sure what your session-properties looks like [02:49] !nounity | krypton [02:49] krypton: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [02:49] krypton: yes, lots of choices. [02:49] krypton, but I believe the answer you are searching for is 'yes' === J2|QK is now known as J2 [02:49] !desktop | krypton [02:49] krypton: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [02:50] Unity is a relative newcomer [02:50] no i got a laptop [02:50] !info kvm [02:50] kvm (source: qemu-kvm (0.14.1+noroms-0ubuntu6.2)): dummy transitional package from kvm to qemu-kvm.

[02:50] lol [02:50] lol - krypton they mean desktop in the manner of the desktop manager [02:50] not desktop vs laptop [02:50] Ok gmachine_24 im in the live cd. How do I fix the GRUB? [02:51] window manager really. [02:51] J2 - what options does the menu give you? [02:51] i tried debian but 1 it was too hard to install and 2 the people were rude unlike you all who are nice and helpful like the guy when I tried mint [02:51] gmachine_24: Im in the ubuntu live cd.someone said to use it [02:51] !grub | j2 [02:51] j2: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [02:52] J2 - you need to boot from the SuperGrub2 disc. [02:52] i like mint too but i read its not safe and doesnt have as big as software apps [02:52] J2 not the ubuntu disc [02:52] krypton: i think the suggestion was to try a different window manager than unity, like gnome-shell, or classic ubuntu fallback [02:52] ok i will try it [02:52] J2, create a mount point, bind /dev there, mount your disk there, chroot and install grub [02:52] as it seems your not happy with unity, but unity is not ubuntu it is only the window manager it defaults to now [02:52] gmachine_24: you can do it that way, but he'll have to chroot. [02:52] wylde, well, no. SuperGrub2 does it all for you. [02:53] gmachine_24: Is the GRUB what is broken on my install? I may have not been clear what the issue was. [02:53] as I side effect, you can get rid of crampiz [02:53] anyone know if 12.04 final is still on schedule for april 26? [02:53] But, we should give him one thing to try at a time. [02:53] limpc, apparently [02:53] gmachine_24: fair enough, just saying it can be done from the live cd :) [02:53] yeah i like unity its just that its too new and seem to have too many bugs in it [02:53] ok hopefully it is, i really need to reinstall my system [02:53] wylde, yes, i mentioned that at first as well. However, when I thought about it the SuperGrub2 repair is easier for newcomers [02:53] I was running linux through WUBI, and when I rebooted into windows and ba k, I wasmet with a ggnu grub 1.99 screen [02:53] escott: you know what I think it's because I'm on 12.04, I shouldn't have done that and expected it to work flawlessly. I can't even accomplish a simple task as a screenshot lol. [02:53] krypton: so maybe you would want to try gnome-shell (also new) or the classic desktop (gnome-panel installation?). [02:54] i do like ubuntu [02:54] been upgrading since drapper :) [02:54] gmachine_24: I'll have to check that out, sounds like a handy tool [02:54] J2 - please just boot from the SuperGrub2 CD/DVD that you burned. [02:54] so its a bit quirky [02:54] so you should stay with that OS =), but change window managers. [02:54] Alright. [02:54] when they did the desktop macro, they were trying to display a subset/list of options you have to pick from krypton [02:54] i am on the ubuntu site but it gives me 1 choice for downloads not genome [02:55] krypton: You can do it without installing a new OS [02:55] J2, it´s much worse then [02:55] escott: anyways, my gnome-session-properties entry reads Name: Guake Terminal Command: guake Comment: Start Guake Terminal [02:55] wylde, I've been using it since the first SuperGrub - they came out with SuperGrub2 and "rescatux" which is another fix-it cd [02:55] escott: so nothing wrong I guess [02:55] krypton: you can simply install a package and apt will handle the dependancies [02:55] i am so new at this im feel like a lost puppy [02:55] krypton: thats ok [02:55] Lint: Oh no. [02:55] naryfa, and ps aux | grep guake doesn't show guake running? [02:55] but I hate windows more [02:56] gmachine_24: I'll definately have a look. Easier than talking someone through chroot fix. [02:56] escott: now it will because I started it manually, it doesn't start on bootup though, I checked [02:56] wylde, lol, excactly [02:56] exactly, even [02:56] naryfa, printscreen should bring up a screenshot app, but if you are having problems you should ask in #ubuntu+1 [02:56] naryfa: did quake work on unity/class and no longer when you installed gnome-shell? [02:56] how do you donate money to ubuntu? [02:56] krypton: im sure its on the site somewhere. [02:56] SolarisBoy: correct [02:57] escott: ok, thanks [02:57] naryfa: have you checked the logs for any type of error , or possibly tried starting it from a terminal to debug the output? [02:57] Is there a key combo to cycle through active windows? [02:57] so do i go to software manager to get genome? [02:57] gmachine_24: exactly why I point newcomers at tasksel, when they come in looking to install a LAMP server :) === R34v3D is now known as R43_afk [02:57] SolarisBoy: I haven't, I will restart my machine and check for logs [02:57] keithisit: alt+tab [02:57] wylde, now I need to look up tasksel [02:58] naryfa: you can do that, you can also run quake from a terminal prompt and see if it gives any clues [02:58] my desktop freaks out when i try that [02:58] www.prtcom.ru [02:58] SolarisBoy: I run guake manually and it works though. Keep that in mind [02:58] gmachine_24: just throw tasksel in the terminal. You'll see right away :) [02:58] naryfa: interesting [02:58] SolarisBoy: it just doesn't start - up [02:58] SolarisBoy: ok, brb [02:58] you mean it doesn't become available at startup? [02:59] isn't it just a drop down terminal? [02:59] SolarisBoy: it is, it doesn't load with all other startup applications [02:59] join www.prtcom.ru [02:59] keithisit: how so? [02:59] do you have some conflict with the shortcut? [02:59] SolarisBoy: you mean to bring it down? [02:59] yes [02:59] SolarisBoy: no, it's F1 [03:00] ok. so the process i assume should be running but isn't? [03:00] wylde: everything disappears except the background for a couple of seconds then comes back without changing windows [03:00] like it's changing workspaces instead [03:00] SolarisBoy: the process is now running because I started it with Alt+F2 [03:00] The rescatux CD is pretty good, too. It will restore Grub and Grub2 and do a lot of other things. [03:00] i see [03:00] SolarisBoy: it doesn't start on bootup [03:01] keithisit: you didn't change the keybinding at all? [03:01] i can't find what you told me on line oh well i'll try mint again and see if i can beef up its security [03:01] SolarisBoy: ok, I'll be back, [03:01] thanks [03:01] wylde: not that i recall, which menu should i investigate? [03:01] wylde, tasksel wasn't install so I installed it. LOL, you're right - what could be simpler? [03:01] !flavors | krypton [03:01] krypton: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of GNOME. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu [03:01] krypton: the package names are gnome-panel (for the old style) or gnome-shell (for something else) [03:02] instead of gnome <: [03:02] gmachine_24: :) [03:02] keithisit: moment, sorry [03:02] i do not like those it was either ubuntu , mint, or opensure [03:03] opensuse? [03:03] debian was nasty and the people rude they told me to go for the stupid distros for dumb people === quetzal is now known as Logan_ [03:03] on the debian chat [03:03] keithisit: which version of ubuntu are you on? [03:03] distros for dumb people? [03:04] wylde: 11.10 [03:04] funny that sounds like the slackware crowd back in the day ....>.> [03:04] unity ftw lol [03:04] =) [03:05] ok System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts Tab [03:05] keithisit, may unity burn in the pits of hell! [03:05] well they made be feel very unwelcome so I gave up on debian [03:05] i like unity =( [03:05] krypton: good job! [03:05] why are they so rude? [03:05] smw: it's doing a good job of getting there :) [03:05] Let's keep this support-focused; we're not an advocacy channel. :-) [03:05] the debian guys? [03:05] SolarisBoy: nope, didn't startup [03:05] because they are beggars [03:05] keithisit, lol [03:05] SolarisBoy: 1871 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto guake [03:05] krypton: What's your support question? [03:06] naryfa: maybe you can try to collect some details on the job and redirect it to a log on start up so you can get an idea of whats going on? [03:06] oh just the one i ask before and do not know were to get that stuff to change it from unity to genome [03:06] SolarisBoy: how do I do that? [03:06] but i found a youtube video [03:06] wylde: chur it's still set to alt + tab, i shall try a different key combo and report back [03:06] thanks [03:07] im not sure how much you can modify those startup jobs but maybe you can prepend it with strace and append > /var/log/quake_start.log 2>&1 === szal_ is now known as szal [03:07] keithisit: alrighty [03:07] keithisit, I found a good assortment of extensions to make gnome-shell usable. But it still has serious issues I can't easily address. [03:07] krypton, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell; logout and select gnome session from the lightdm menu (after you put your username in) [03:07] maybe someone else can verify if that should work or not [03:07] SolarisBoy: I think you want to use strace's output flag. [03:07] writing [03:07] haha [03:07] Corey: good one [03:07] SolarisBoy: oh boy, that's magic to me [03:07] It's cleaner, and you don't have to worry about trapping STDERR. [03:07] oh ok i got it thanks! [03:07] -o /var/log/quake.log [03:08] strace -o /var/log/quake.log quake [03:08] which application customizes gnome apparance in old ubuntu? [03:08] hello, any Ubuntu users playing with arduino out there? I am having trouble to get my sketches uploaded to arduino. I get "unable to enumerate USB device on port" error and no /dev/ node is created for the serial connection [03:09] naryfa: but you would want to make that your startup line, so you get it when the issue is occuring [03:09] Sweet [03:09] gmachine_24: In superGRUMPB [03:09] GRUB* [03:09] Now what am I looking for? [03:09] and there may be some clue in that output as to what the issue is,, youll need to carefully look through it if it can't find some library or such [03:09] SolarisBoy: I entered it into the terminal and guake started [03:09] naryfa: thats what we expected no? the issue you want to trace is startup [03:10] naryfa: so adjust your startup command to be that command posted last, and reboot [03:10] then either check that log or pastie it so someone can review and hopefully help out more [03:10] SolarisBoy: I see, brb then [03:10] ok [03:10] how to use irc transfer files [03:10] naryfa: lets see the line before you go.. just in case [03:10] to not waste time otherwise =) [03:11] SolarisBoy: sudo strace -o /var/log/guake.log guake [03:11] hmm [03:11] how can I tell ubuntu to load ehci-hcd before it loads uhci-hcd? [03:11] see thisguys problem was solved [03:11] J2 - click on the separate window so we can talk without using up the main window [03:11] better probably to sudo su -c 'command' [03:12] Sounds good [03:12] this way you don't start quake as root, which i dont think is the case generally [03:12] SolarisBoy: how about gksudo [03:12] SolarisBoy: I see [03:12] heh i guess,, i think you need to use su though [03:12] not sure how gksudo/su react to each other [03:13] a/23 [03:13] also,, i would wonder if you have some password enabled and can't sudo without prompt [03:13] is there any options in quake for debugging enabling in output? [03:13] SolarisBoy: I can sudo without password, is that what you're asking about? [03:14] yes [03:14] SolarisBoy: I always sudo visudo with NOPASSWD, I hate that password shit [03:14] lol [03:14] im glad your using visudo in any regards =) [03:15] xufan: it's not ubuntu related, but try /send nick [03:15] i hate pswd prompting atleast in my home where i know no one is touching my desktop,, unless its my cat === Stanley001 is now known as Stanley00 [03:15] SolarisBoy: lol [03:15] SolarisBoy: su laptop strace -o /var/log/guake.log guake ? [03:16] sudo strace su -c 'guake' [03:16] :/g/q/ [03:17] Solaris [03:17] hmm.. with the strace options inclusive .. sorry [03:17] its late =( [03:17] SolarisBoy: I'm confused now, please write the whole line [03:17] ok [03:17] SolarisBoy: as it should be [03:18] sudo strace -o /var/log/quake_start.log su laptop -c 'quake' [03:18] assuming 'laptop' is the username [03:18] SolarisBoy: yes [03:18] ok so thats the command [03:19] SolarisBoy: ok, now reboot, brb [03:19] okies === hemanth_ is now known as hemanth [03:23] lol [03:24] SolarisBoy: so what now [03:24] check the log? [03:24] yes === n00b4lyfe is now known as Tasmania [03:25] naryfa: if its there and populated, take your time looking through it, if there is a obvious error you should see it, be wary of directory/file not found as it traverses your $PATH entries, those are somewhat normal [03:25] SolarisBoy: let me see [03:25] okies. [03:26] SolarisBoy: that thing has almost 13 thousand lines [03:26] 12590 exactly [03:26] naryfa: thats not surprising at all [03:27] naryfa: there are filters you can use to slim it up, but in this case, we dont know what the issue is so better to have it all [03:27] naryfa: some clever usage of grep and negation will help you [03:27] SolarisBoy: Jesus, it will take me forever, and I don't even know what to look for [03:27] naryfa: ^^ [03:28] SolarisBoy: what's that? : read(7, "timeError(\"Refusing to create an"..., 4096) = 3049 [03:28] an error that looks like it may be relevant.. [03:28] but its hard to tell from one line.. [03:28] as stated.. grep is your friend here.. and time.. [03:29] SolarisBoy: laptop@ubuntu:/var/log$ cat guake.log | grep error [03:29] read(6, "error, \"unterminated name\"\n "..., 4096) = 4096 [03:29] read(4, "ing)(errors, **kwargs)\n for i"..., 4096) = 2498 [03:29] read(5, "sys.exit() with an error message"..., 4096) = 4096 [03:29] open("/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgpg-error.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 6 [03:29] read(12, "= warning\n\n def error(self, m"..., 4096) = 4096 [03:29] read(11, 0xa0cbee8, 8176) = -1 EIO (Input/output error) [03:29] shit [03:29] naryfa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:29] lol [03:29] well.. [03:30] i kind of saw that coming... i did mention pastie earlier though... [03:30] i feel guilty somehow [03:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/943510/ [03:30] lol [03:30] my bad [03:31] SolarisBoy: it says IO Error, is that the case? [03:31] Hey swurl. Still there? [03:31] yes [03:31] May we return to your channel please? I can;t boot from that drive [03:31] ok [03:33] SolarisBoy: no? [03:34] naryfa: one second.. looking something up for you.. [03:34] SolarisBoy: ok, I'm sorry [03:34] right [03:35] its ok =) [03:36] yea its python [03:36] hello. my ubuntu 10.04 is acting all mysterious. on 1 machine it allows me to build lazarus-ide from source, on the other not. [03:36] it looks like its exiting out but not really reporting why.. sorry that im vague,, but atleast you can confrim thats the case... [03:36] i need a bug information collector :P [03:36] wylde are you still here? [03:37] i wanna nail this bug down by myself but cant d it alone :P [03:37] gmachine_24: semi-here yes :) [03:37] wylde, ok just give me a minute here......... [03:37] SolarisBoy: hmmm, so should I do something to Python? Sounds like a story from zoo === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [03:38] naryfa: read(6, "error, \"unterminated name\"\n "..., 4096) = 4096 it seems it hits this error in the python code before sys.exit is called (gracefully one would say) from python [03:38] naryfa: not sure if changing python is wise yet,, did something change with it and the update? or some dependant library? [03:39] maybe if you look deeper into what script it actually calls,, grep for that error, you will see the condition it is raised under [03:39] and then you can look into what makes that condition true at bootup but not once boot is complete [03:40] naryfa: you can also google this and see if it is common [03:40] so far i have collected similarities. on both ubuntu 10.04 machines i had a new install, clean. i had "apt-get install lazarus-ide" and i downloaded and installed fpc 2.6.0 from the freepascal website and i had a subversion "co" of the latest lazarus source [03:40] in 1 case it failed due to missing pixbuf dependencies [03:40] but why? === Jacky is now known as jalcine [03:41] SolarisBoy: but how come does guake start when called for from Alt+F2? [03:41] i dont know [03:41] but thats not the issue, or atleast your not seeing it that way [03:41] SolarisBoy: I guess I'm too dumb in this field. [03:42] can celeron m run 64-bit [03:42] the issue is why is the python script (quake) exiting at startup but not once you system is booted [03:42] molson [03:42] naryfa: maybe it depends on something that is not available at the time it's being brought up? [03:42] SolarisBoy: can I delay the startup ? [03:42] maybe it is not compatible with gnome-shell? [03:43] naryfa: i was actually going to say try that,, but it would be like "random" and it may not do anything at all [03:43] Swurl! Ir works <3 [03:43] ok [03:43] I love you man [03:43] It's installing nao <3 [03:43] SolarisBoy: let's delay it for 10s, what would be the spell? [03:43] Tell the fellow that ignored me that I'm sorry I was of so little help to him ;) [03:43] you are running irc on ubuntu? [03:43] 'sleep 10; guake' in startup [03:43] Yerp <3 <3 [03:44] im trying to scp to my Ubuntu system, from OSX [03:44] just inside the quotes naryfa [03:44] my folder has permi: root root 755 [03:44] Just a couple minutes keft [03:44] profxavier: i can help [03:44] SolarisBoy: Ok, let me reboot, let's see. [03:44] chown it back to your perms if its yours (as root or priv account) [03:44] ok [03:44] how can I copy to my dir, if my user can only do sudo su, so its a member of su ? [03:45] i think rsync has an option to call sudo on the remote end [03:45] SolarisBoy, are you replying to me ? [03:45] Is there a karma/point system i can bump you up on, Swurl? [03:45] sort of [03:45] no [03:45] Or a rewards system i can be a part of? [03:45] not really [03:45] no [03:45] Aww [03:46] ahh well [03:46] gtg [03:46] Well you have my most sincere gratitude, you profession pro you ;) [03:46] Aww [03:46] Didn't get o thank him. [03:46] how can i add just a single modeline to my xorg? [03:46] SolarisBoy, could you sort of supply me with the command and flags? an example perhaps ? [03:47] profxavier: http://crashingdaily.wordpress.com/2007/06/29/rsync-and-sudo-over-ssh/ [03:47] merci [03:48] profxavier: sorry if you took that the wrong way, i was saying i didn't recall it so i was more so speaking in general that @ you [03:48] but i found the article quickly no worries - your welcome [03:48] yes, thanks [03:48] profxavier: your going to need NOPASSWD set in sudo it seems.. [03:49] yeah, on first glance [03:49] i think ill just change the permissions on the remote server, for a moment [03:49] and just complete the scp and change them back [03:49] profxavier: should they actually be owned by root? [03:49] and also "yours" as in under your $HOME? [03:50] its root root, with 755 [03:50] right [03:50] its /var/www [03:50] thats normal for a dir [03:50] sorry, i have to run [03:50] thanks [03:50] hmm ok.. [03:51] well normal for a directory in that location atleast.. [03:51] kantlivelong, hey, would the how-to help? worked for me [03:51] Hey, dudes who were helping me earlier. If you're on, thanks for dealing with me! [03:51] how to limit a memory cache size? [03:51] RexHaviK: possibly.. i just need to add 800x400 [03:51] if you change that you may temporarily cause a security hole in apache in making your user own the web root,, assuming apche is running and being used for anything [03:51] profxavier: you shouldn't need to change perms to copy, not at 0755. That's world readable. [03:51] also true [03:52] but its by root only [03:52] ahh nm... [03:52] to write it is :) [03:52] kantlivelong, you would think that one as there by default, brb with the link [03:52] right lolz [03:53] you can copy what you need into /tmp or something maybe [03:53] heck, if it's on a webserver you could make a list of the filenames and throw a curl script together to grab them all over http. Provided there's no files hiding in a directory that isn't accessible from http. [03:53] lol yea [03:53] or no http sec enabled or any other weirdness === torm3nt is now known as Oddman [03:54] lots of fun way to do things :) [03:54] i was going to say if they are flat files, you can even pipe them over ssh and just let sudo cat receive them and write them out [03:54] well text files.. sorry [03:54] SolarisBoy: nope [03:54] naryfa: hmph [03:55] SolarisBoy: Ok, no worries, I thank you for the time you sacrificed here for me. [03:55] naryfa: well that wasn't really any type of good solution anyway the sleep thing [03:55] naryfa: no worries [03:55] kantlivelong, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions [03:55] naryfa: save your log. if you find its a legitimate issue, maybe you can use it to file a report with the guake team [03:55] SolarisBoy: I know, I just hung upon that thing where you said it maybe depended on something that started up later. [03:55] SolarisBoy: I will [03:56] naryfa: that still may be the case [03:56] naryfa: sometimes sleep won't cut it,, especially with upstart and such starting things asynch [03:56] !nounity [03:56] 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 [03:56] who knows what quake is looking for at that time of startup... [03:56] !cookies [03:56] Cookies are delicious delicacies. [03:59] SolarisBoy: where did you learn all that stuff? [04:01] naryfa: been an admin/engineer for a few years, now i automate these things [04:01] just muscle memory i guess =) [04:01] SolarisBoy: lol, maybe, you're good though [04:01] Sound from firefox not getting to sound card. I hear the bubble popping when changing volume, but no audio. any ideas? [04:01] wylde, we finally got J2 up and running [04:02] naryfa: thanks a lot ;> [04:02] SolarisBoy: I should be thanking you. [04:02] gmachine_24: woot [04:02] lol - your issue isn't fixed =( [04:03] wylde, yeah, he just wrote: "I can't believe you fixed my old install." [04:03] it's kind of funny [04:03] SolarisBoy: I'll find another terminal that will work, I think terminator can do slide down too... [04:03] gmachine_24: lol, good stuff. Lots think a reinstall is a forgone comclusion. [04:03] conclusion* [04:03] bloody illiterate fingers === michael is now known as Guest93557 [04:04] naryfa: im sure there are alternatives,, terminator is my fav at the moment it doesn't do slide down, i swear i recall some drawn out process of making it seem like it did though,, thats most likely invalidated by unity/gnome-shell (this was back in the day) [04:04] wylde, yeah. we found the grub.cfg file and then supergrub2 allowed us to boot to the ubuntu desktop and then just ran a terminal sudo grub-install /dev/sda and that was it [04:04] SolarisBoy: aaah, I see [04:05] naryfa: another thing you can try is to look for an updated package or such like check your version and see if the dev's have a later stable version with bug fixes etc [04:06] SolarisBoy: let me do that now [04:06] gmachine_24: nice. I've had to use the chroot fix a few times. Explainig it over irc is a different thing though heh. [04:06] sure [04:07] My work here is done. Anakin, may the force be with you. [04:07] SolarisBoy: is there a shortcut "about" kind of thing in terminal I can run to look at any application that's installed? Or do I have to do apt-cache? [04:08] SolarisBoy: apt-cache show [04:08] SolarisBoy: worked lol [04:09] is this the right place for 12.04 server questions? [04:09] Wilt: not really, #ubuntu+1 would probably be better [04:09] !12.04 | Wilt [04:09] Wilt: 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 [04:10] ty === tohuw_ is now known as Tohuw [04:10] hello?

[04:12] when I hold alt at boot up, I cannot select my USB drive [04:12] apt-cache policy also will show info about it on your system [04:12] naryfa: ^^ [04:13] SolarisBoy: awesome [04:13] I used the usb tutorial on ubuntu.com [04:13] Sound from firefox not getting to sound card. I hear the bubble popping when changing volume, but no audio. any ideas? [04:13] rinzler: you wouldn't have the volume down in whatever player your listening to would you? [04:14] SolarisBoy: can I somehow return the favor for your help? [04:14] I used the tutorial from ubuntu.com to make a USB install drive [04:14] check it out in downloads [04:14] Flynn58: theremay be some alternative guides and tools at the 'pendrivelinux' web site. i dont have any mac hardware, so no idea how the details differ [04:14] naryfa: nah - im used to support and stuff no sweat at all - i fear to say i like to help people? [04:14] Here's a link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [04:14] SolarisBoy: uhm... no. [04:14] What is a good tool to encrypt file systems?

[05:11] startup disk creator - puts the iso file on a usb making a live-usb just like the cd works === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:11] it can make a persistant save file also [05:11] dfasd: google universal usb installer [05:12] the pendrivelinux site has alternative tools that do a similer job. [05:12] where´s the shutdown button in ONEIRIC lofin screen? [05:12] gametstr: i have.. i tried removing all modules.. nothing works [05:12] gametstr dr_willis which one should i use? [05:12] startup one or universal one? [05:13] dfasd: try one.. if it works... good... if not move to another [05:13] i never use the atartup disk creator tool. [05:13] dfasd: under ur system menu u'll find the startup disk creator [05:13] i tend to use the tools that setup grub2 to boot iso files. [05:13] dfasd: does the job! [05:14] dfasd: I have personally used universal usb installer many times and it works [05:14] its up to u [05:14] I have a 12.04 box without a gui installed. I would like to install virtualbox and set up a windows XP headless vm with usb passthrough. Where can I find a howto for this? [05:15] gametstr: ok and is it possible to install Ubuntu along side with Win7? [05:15] dfasd: yes, it's called dual booting [05:15] dfasd, yes thats how i run, with windows 7 and ubuntu 12 [05:15] I'm getting Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucide/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.180 80] [05:16] aeon-ltd Sevith : how to do that? is there have any separate option? [05:16] oh dur [05:16] lucide [05:16] heh.. i was going to mention that typo.... [05:16] blendedbychris: clean ur packages [05:16] !lucid [05:16] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [05:16] dfasd, When you install it should pick up your windows installation [05:17] dfasd: yes it is.. thats what I am doing right now.. [05:18] dual booting is a pretty simple process with Ubuntu, google will probably turn up approximately 1 gazillion hits [05:18] dfasd: u might want to use wubi if u want to safely uninstall / remove ubuntu [05:19] 'over 9000!' [05:19] gameid: wubi is a mess, i would not recommend that [05:19] gametstr: oops [05:19] id suggest playing with linux in vbox over using wubi.. [05:19] lol [05:19] * KM0201 agrees with dr_willis [05:19] i'd suggest throwing yourself down a flight of stairs, before using wubi [05:19] here's another vote for the vbox method. [05:19] KM0201, Agreed. [05:19] dr_willis: good point [05:20] linux + vbox win7 [05:20] KM0201: i guess, but i think its a good starting point for newbies [05:20] wubi needs to be un-invented! [05:20] lol.. [05:20] Thanks guys [05:20] haha [05:20] i think wubi was to be removed from the 12.04 release/cd [05:20] gametstr: if everything works... the problem is, when something goes wrong, it is EXTREMELY difficult to save both OS's, in a traditional dual boot, usually you're only gonna hose 1 OS... and one of them should generally be bootable [05:20] not ssure if it happened or not yet, [05:21] dr_willis: i hope so [05:21] Hey everyone - I have done some googling and couldn't find the solution I'm looking for. I have a 1 button mouse and would like to be able to right click with ctrl+click. [05:21] Could anyone tell me how to do that? [05:21] Using pinguy 11.04, a derivative of Ubuntu 11.04 [05:21] Striking7: hmm, a 1 button mouse? [05:21] a mac mouse? [05:21] KM0201: Yep. It's an old Mac mouse. [05:22] on a mac? :) [05:22] dr_willis: you got it. [05:22] Striking7: well, how about hold left button for a while to do right click? [05:22] my suggestion, go to best buy and spend $15 on a 2 button USB optical mouse [05:22] my question has been ignored so once again.. is there any way to use the legacy ati proprietary drivers in the latest releases? [05:22] Stanley00: I looked into that but then my ability to drag+drop would be hindered, wouldn't it? [05:22] gametstr: not familiar with ati, sorry... [05:23] gametstr: you could download the older .run file and try to install it.., it might work.. but i wouldent have high hopes on it. [05:23] Striking7: it's counted as drag when you hold and move. [05:23] gametstr: I've used them since 5.04, but I haven't had an ATI card in about a year, so I can't help you with the latest release :( [05:23] dr_willis: tried that it wouldn't work [05:23] gametstr: i would guess the answer is no then. [05:23] Stanley00: ok, that's not so bad. How long do you have to hold? I'm also concerned it'd interfere with aming [05:24] i take it the standard "generic" VGA driver doesn't work? [05:24] cant remember what it turned up with.. [05:24] hi frnds [05:24] bahah 16gb ram >.< [05:24] gametstr: how experienced are you with Linux? Using the old .run file technique has a *ton* of places it can go wrong even if it will work when you get it right [05:25] * Striking7 high-fives Sevith [05:25] Striking7: ahh.. KM0201: the open source drivers work but my laptop runs about 15degress hotter than in windows [05:25] trying to install ubuntu and btv5 on same 16gb pendrive, so is it ok to give 10gb to ubuntu and rest to btv5 ? [05:25] where´s the shutdown button in ONEIRIC lofin screen? [05:25] gametstr: what makes you think that has to do w/ ATI drivers? [05:25] there might be some ppas out with older drivers. but even then the old drivers may not work with the newer X or kernel versions [05:25] sil3nt|warri0r: Last I checked BT5 really wants 8 gigs, doesn't it? [05:25] gametstr: did you try Additonal driver? [05:26] Striking7: not sure..lemme chk.. [05:26] Striking7: actually I am a noob.. it said that the kernel is not supported or something [05:26] Stanley00: yes.. it dint show up anything [05:26] gametstr: dr_willis has a point. Also I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the proprietary ATI drivers for Linux have been pretty bad compared to the Windows counterpart too [05:27] gametstr: they may not fix the heat issue either :( [05:27] the open sourced ati drivers have been getting better. ;) [05:27] Got a mission here....I need to switch my external monitor to being my main monitor.....from an xterm sesh [05:27] opensource ati drivers are unusable [05:28] gametstr: make sure you enabled multiverse and universe in apt source first [05:28] i been reading the same [05:28] depeds on your system and chipset i imagine [05:28] gametstr: shoot... the .run method was pretty tough to get running when it *did* support the kernel. You may have to wait until AMD releases a new version of the driver. :( [05:28] Who knows why the ibus can't be used in the newest official packages of qtcreater,but other qt progrm is nomal.my system is ubuntu 11.10 [05:28] gametstr: which ATI device is it anyway?... and again, how do you know the ATI driver will fix your heat problem? (i'm willing to bet this is a CPU fan issue, more than a GPU issue) [05:28] Striking7: actually amd stopped support for my card (mobility X2300) back in 2009 [05:28] erisianmonk23175: there are command line xrand tools i recall [05:28] I setup ZFS using the zfs-stable PPA / ubuntu-zfs package. It's EXTREMELY EXTREMELY slow. Would anyone know how I could potentially benchmark the disk performance and/or find the issue? [05:29] undeclaredx: ZFS is still very experimental in Linux [05:29] erisianmonk23175: It has to be possible, but you may have to do some xorg.conf editing followed by a service gdm restart [05:29] KM0201: aka it's normal to be this slow? [05:29] undeclaredx: how much ram do you have vs how much hard drive space? [05:29] 8 gigs of ram, and 4 2TB drives [05:29] Stanley00: no idea what those are.. [05:29] They are 5400/5900rpm drives, but ZFS is supposedly fine on that [05:29] hmm... that should be enough. [05:29] how to limit a memory cache size? [05:30] gdm restart? [05:30] Lint: What is your actual end goal? [05:30] to stop paging [05:30] !xrand [05:31] according to iostat, each drive is like 940 kB_read/s, and 1700 kB_wrtn/s [05:31] I have 90 MB free but stuff is still put into pagefile [05:31] gametstr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/89096/how-do-i-enable-the-multiverse-repository [05:31] Striking7: hmm. its looks like u right .. so wat shld i do ? cant sual install bt with ubuntu :( [05:31] it should be mountains faster [05:31] Lint: Then you probably want to change the swappiness. [05:31] add 2 zeros, faster [05:31] sil3nt|warri0r: you can set up grub2 to boot the iso files ;) but then its a live-cd setup [05:32] at this point, I might consider getting rid of the raid, it's not even as fast as one drive [05:32] undeclaredx: That is definitely a misconfiguration or bug, f'sho [05:32] yeah [05:32] gametstr:I mean opening the Software Sources, and enable universe and multiverse in Ubuntu Software tab. [05:32] change what where to what? [05:32] it's supposed to be a 4 drive raid z, I DID lose 2 tb of space (as expected, for redundancy)... so.. [05:32] sil3nt|warri0r: I hate to be a naysayer, but you may not be able to do it all on the same 16gig drive :( [05:33] dr_willis: need to boot frm da pendrive intself [05:33] Striking7: hmm..:-( [05:33] I know catalyst 9.3 supports my card (mobility x2300) and also know they would work with releases older than 9.04 [05:33] sil3nt|warri0r: you can instll ubuntu to the pendrive. then set the bt iso to boot from the grub menu as an extra option.. [05:34] undeclaredx: dr_willis's suggestion is true. Just keep in mind you'll need lots of ram to make that very functional. You can always mount your /home from another partition too, so you can have persistent settings and files if you do the livecd .iso route [05:34] unless you justgg have to use a normal install of bt for somereason.. [05:34] I meant sil3nt|warri0r on that last post, sorry undeclaredx [05:34] talking to me or someone else? [05:34] heh yeah [05:34] given how cheap pendrives are :) be easier to just grab a 2nd one [05:35] Just about everyone uses BT as a live environment anyway... [05:35] persistent settings are a potential problem for pen-testing [05:35] most people i see in here using BT are people that really shouldent be useing bt...... ;) [05:35] the things is dat i hav to normal install both bt and ubuntu on a pendrive and boot frm dat === chris__0076 is now known as chris_0076 [05:36] sil3nt|warri0r: i think unetbootin will do that, or grub 2 will. [05:36] otoh it's easier to have 2 drives [05:37] so how I should setup the swappiness? [05:37] Lint: /proc/sys/vm/swappiness controls the kernel's tendency to swap to disk with a value from 0 to 100, 0 being "only when absolutely needed" and 100 being "whenever it seems like it might possibly be beneficial to cache make room for other caches in RAM to speed things up". [05:37] Lint: It's a value in /proc/, meaning that it won't persist through reboots. [05:37] sil3nt|warri0r: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-via-grub2-using-linux/ [05:38] Lint: echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/swappiness [05:38] one lust thing, which btv5r2 env is better and more stable -- gnome or kde ?? [05:38] how do you search for a package and have it show the version it would install? [05:38] sil3nt|warri0r: ask in the bt channel [05:38] Blue1: thx .. will chk that [05:39] dr_willis: aw, don't be so cynical! How does anyone learn without experimenting with things that they don't understand yet? [05:39] dr_willis: bt on freenode ? askd a q.. bt no responce [05:39] Striking7: i read the manuals :) [05:40] !backtrack | sil3nt|warri0r [05:40] sil3nt|warri0r: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [05:40] sil3nt|warri0r: they have their own server. I think their homepage mentions it also [05:40] oh.. k [05:40] Haha, sure but that's a lot to expect from many people that are just starting. Patience! :-p [05:40] I suppose I'll destroy the zfs pool [05:41] and for now, keep them 'raidless' [05:41] undeclaredx: have you checked out dmesg and the like to see if there are errors, warnings, etc being thrown? [05:41] I will now [05:42] Do it just after thrashing the disk a bit, and also do it just after boot [05:42] erm [05:42] << semi-noob [05:42] Gotcha, np. [05:42] how can I check dmesg for zfs errors specifically? [05:42] dmesg | grep "zfs"? [05:42] that may do it. Try with grep -i (case insensitive, in case they say "ZFS") [05:42] undeclaredx: Btrfs might be something to look into. It may be more stable on linux now, and certainly will be in the future. And you're much more likely to find support for btrfs. [05:43] fair enough [05:43] if you get nothing go oldschool and go dmesg | less and look around yourself [05:43] in less you can search by hitting "/" [05:43] hit "n" for the next result, and "N" for previous [05:43] yeah true [05:43] no I know about more/less [05:44] Just making sure. I'd rather give too much info than too little. [05:44] fair enough ;) [05:45] ironically, I actually have a 3ware raid card, but these are green drives [05:45] not gonna work =) [05:45] Hah. ZFS offers a bunch of stuff you just won't get from RAID anyway though [05:46] but dr_willis is right - Linux ZFS support is still pretty immature [05:47] Striking7 - well, that's the point [05:47] It has bit-level verification for everything iirc [05:47] instead of block-level that most raid cards offer [05:48] it may actually be the driver for my sata card, I never thought of this previously [05:48] I'm gonna try updating that [05:48] isn't zfs doomed for fuse? ;x [05:48] I didn't get the fuse version though [05:48] DaZ: for licensing reasons I think it is, if Oracle doesn't decide to relicense it. [05:48] Where is the "default monitor" file that I can rename that will fix the blank screen at boot? [05:48] It's CDL or something, which isn't GPL compatible. So it has to be linked in userspace. [05:49] ... that can't be right. [05:49] ATI and NVidia proprietary drivers don't have to be linked in userspace.. [05:49] * Striking7 is confused now. [05:49] No FUSE pun intended [05:50] I have precise running and for some reason when i do apt-get install nginx or nginx-full it says the package doesn't exist… it worked on 32bit but not 64bit for me… ideas? [05:50] E: Unable to locate package nginx-full [05:50] Where is the "default monitor" file that I can rename that will fix the blank screen at boot? [05:51] !12.04 | blendedbychris [05:51] blendedbychris: 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 [05:51] blendedbychris: they may not have a port or a maintainer for the 64-bit version. I'm not sure. Try "apt-cache search ngin" and see if it finds anything [05:52] I have a 12.04 box without a gui installed. I would like to install virtualbox and set up a windows XP headless vm with usb passthrough. Where can I find a howto for this? [05:52] fidel_: two days until realease i'm going to ask a question here heh.. [05:52] Striking7: looking at http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/nginx-full it has an amd64 version? [05:52] DrManhattan: no idea on that one.. i'd try asking in #ubuntu-server though [05:53] why? [05:54] DrManhattan: mainly because there's some more useful folk in there usually [05:54] I need a quick way to chop off the end and beginning of an OGG video file. That means it shouldn't be reencoded. [05:54] DrManhattan: because what you're asking is really outside the realm of a normal desktop situation.. proably better to ask in ubuntu server (and like blendedbychris said, there's some smart folks there) [05:55] jo-erlend: does Audacity not do that? Or do you need something command-line/automated? [05:56] Striking7, this is video and audio. [05:56] Where is the "default monitor" file that I can rename that will fix the blank screen at boot? [05:56] jo-erlend: sorry, I assumed :) does FFMPEG support that kind of operation without transcoding? [05:57] That'd be the first place I'd check [05:57] what does it mean when a file has a * after the filename as seen using ls -l ? [05:57] the_real_crimper: probably means the file has a '*' in the filename, eh? [05:58] jrib, no, that doesn't make sense [05:58] the_real_crimper: more serious answer: are you sure you did not pass -F? [05:58] the_real_crimper: Could you post the line in question? (not more than one line please). [05:58] Striking7, I have no idea of how to do that. [05:58] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 300G 2012-04-23 22:45 FileHD.iso* [05:59] i had copied this file over from another drive [05:59] cp finished, and now i just see this [05:59] the_real_crimper: did you pass -F to ls? [05:59] Striking7, using oggz-tools, I'm able to chop of the end, or a part of the video. But not the beginning. I's very annoying. [06:00] jrib, ahh, it appeasrs that using "ll" over "ls" shows the asterisk [06:01] the_real_crimper: "alias ll" will probably shouw you that -F is included in the alias. [06:01] jrib, indeed, ll is aliased ls with -F [06:01] the_real_crimper: -F will append symbols to the end of filenames to describe them. For example, * indicates an executable file. Read the ls info page for more info [06:02] jo-erlend: odd. Have you looked into gstreamer's non-linear editing libraries? Maybe there's a tool in there that'll do it. [06:03] As far as ffmpeg goes, I haven't used it much myself but it's really good at various commandline manipulation of media [06:03] cant switch between OS. Screen blank until login. help [06:03] I'd just end up searching around for tutorials or walkthroughs myself. [06:04] !monitor [06:05] iHarp: Grub is probably using (and passing to the kernel) a graphics mode which is not supported by your monitor.

I want to know how to run a service as a different user(other than root) at startup [07:00] please help me to get this [07:02] Hi Guys. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, I have a serial modem and its my first dealing with serial modems or dial up in ubuntu. Normally I use a USB Modem/PCI modem but neither of those worked in Ubuntu. I invested in this Serial modem but When I search for a modem in gnome PPP it says it can't detect a modem and I'm not sure why, Can anyone help a newb? [07:03] why are you using a dialup modem? [07:03] Its a work computer, Some of the sites I need to access have down ADSL lines and their backup is dial up [07:04] modems... it's been a while [07:05] :) When I used to use ubuntu on my home machine it would detect every modem i had without issue... back in the day [07:05] oh I thought maybe you were an AOL user [07:05] yeah I haven't futzed with modems in 15 years at least [07:06] I remember in old versions of ubuntu you had to turn on Modem permissions but I cant find that anymore. Seems to have moved in the GUI [07:07] CJRamze: tried this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/setting-up-dial-up-connection-in-ubuntu.html [07:07] Yup about 14 years ago was the last time I used a modem, racking my memory for details [07:08] with serial modems it was just a matter of port and baud rate surely. [07:09] I'm not sure how to access the modem other than via gnome-ppp [07:09] and gnome-ppp wont detect a modem at all [07:09] I was told it was because I was using a straight serial cable instead of a null modem [07:09] so I bought a null modem [07:09] and it still doesnt work [07:09] As before with Serial I'm totally clueless [07:11] you understand that a null modem just has pins 2 and 3 reversed on 1 end right? [07:11] noobuntu [07:11] it was 2,3,7 and 20 iirc [07:12] A friend did mention that but work paid for the cable so I figured during my time off I'd let them order the cable === maractus is now known as [dong][force] [07:13] can srch_strings be piped stuff from stdin? or does it need a special option to be told to expect it?

Why are you asking about it? [07:25] hellow! Is it possible to run ubuntu parallel with windows XP, without virtualPC or Oracle VM VirtualBox ? [07:27] kubanc: There are other virtual machine solutions, but you can't run two OSs on one machine at the same time without using some type of virtualization. [07:28] Cou can install first Windows and then Ubuntu. Then youbwill be able to choose at the beginning wich OS u want to boot. [07:29] Jordan_U, yes, i know that, but at work i cannot use Oracle VirtualBox because it's not free for comercial use... [07:30] kubanc: You can use kvm if Ubuntu is the Host, or Virtual Box OSE (completely Free software, but missing some features like USB support). === [dong][force] is now known as [dongforce]marac [07:33] nvidia. when i ctrl+alt+f1 from X i just get black screen that i can verifiably type in but not see what i'm typing.. anyone gotten this before?

[07:43] baagii, wrong channel [07:43] lol [07:43] kx: it's unlikely that "less traffic means less problems" [07:43] Citrix' XenClient looks interesting to be able to run 2 OS's simultaneously. [07:44] haha yeah it's ubuntu after all what am i thinking. should be 'fewer' not less anyway [07:44] wth is guest2302 CTCP'ing me for? [07:44] git! [07:44] okay, I have this lenovo Z570 laptop with nvidia hybrid graphics card, I have disabled nvidia but the videos I watch with integrated gpu are dodgy, bumblebee won't help either...is there any laptop w/o hybrid graphics card I can buy? I googled but couldn't find any [07:45] Without hybrid I meant dedicated graphics card.... [07:45] my latest problem is i cant ctrl-alt-fn any more to get to terminals. and my last system update shows errors on boot and i have to press a key to continue to boot for some reason [07:45] ubuntu is such a disaster.. [07:46] kx : what message do you get at startup? === sajimon_ is now known as sajimon === piyush_ is now known as piyush__ [07:47] kapz: um, the video will always be dodgy without nvidia on.. you have to put it on to watch video, and leave it off otherwise. that's how it's better. [07:47] i dont know missing module or librayr something but looked for the module it's like a font or something so i think thats just the error that just happens to show up before the real problem [07:47] That's the point of hybrid video === piyush__ is now known as piyush_ === piyush_ is now known as __piyush__ [07:48] undeclaredx, yeah but I am unable to turn on the nvidia gpu!!

[07:49] not you ;0 [07:50] undeclaredx, I have this nvidia optimus graphics card which is a hybrid gpu and there is no Linux support to it whatsoever, I tried bumble and OSS attempt to port optimus technology to linux...but even that won't help...that' why am looking for a laptop without hybrid gpu [07:50] i know, i was doing ?_? to emphasis(sort of) my question :P [07:50] oh, gotcha.. you did try the latest nvidia drivers yes? [07:50] why would you want to change ownership LukeNukem ? [07:51] kapz, my www folder is there and i want to put a folder outside the www folders for file uploads [07:51] so users cant access it [07:51] undeclaredx, nvidia DOES NOT support optimus on Linux> [07:51] kapz: whats the problem with optimus? [07:51] and only access it from a php script === Kiryx is now known as Kiryx|afk [07:51] kapz: asking as it works ok for me - but i disabled the nv-part on linux ;) [07:51] kapz: gotcha. But then the answer is obvious -- there is no answer. [07:51] solution, rather [07:51] kapz, so like is it okay to do so because i got screwed when i did the same to /etc/ [07:51] then again, if it works for fidel =/ [07:52] LukeNukem: don't mess with those permissions without first knowing the default permissions.. and it's better not to though [07:52] you can break your install flatout by messing with permissions wrongly.. and you'd have to run a live cd and fix them by hand like that [07:53] LukeNukem, changing ownership of system folders will land you in trouble unless you know Exactly what you are doing....if you want to create a folder then give it the permissions you require and not /var === mars is now known as Guest85972 [07:53] I agree [07:53] it's way more practical that way [07:53] kapz, ok nice idea [07:53] but i cant create a folder in /var kapz [07:53] fidel_, I am not able to use nvidia gpu under bumblebee....optirun vlc will play dodgy videos [07:54] LukeNukem, you need to create folder using sudo or with root account.... sudo mkdir xxx [07:54] kapz - I'm surprised about your issue, nvidia support has been flawless for ages on linux [07:54] or maybe not flawless, but pretty sharp and they DO get it done eventually lol [07:54] as opposed to AMD/ATI's.. we'll do it in 4 years [07:55] I did hear that improved though. [07:55] kapz, ok thx [07:55] yeah but not these hybrid ones, actually it's Linux limitation as per Nvidia....optimus makes good use of some windows technology... [07:55] yea [07:55] if you just bought it, just get a non-hybrid laptop [07:55] or try the nvidia drivers (and maybe it'd be always on?) [07:55] fidel_, how did you get optimus working? [07:56] undeclaredx, yeah I bought it like 4 months ago but now I want to change, know any laptop with non-hybrid gpu?

[07:57] * the_legend is excited for 12.04 [07:59] AdvoWork, why would you want to know that? ... maybe 3.5.1 [08:00] lol the libre office was created by the opensource foundation if i am not mistaken, so they should all work just fine with 12.04 [08:00] they? [08:01] * all the previous versions [08:03] we are running 3.4.4 and that will work, they dont usualy brin out a libre office with each version of ubuntu, microsoft will usually create a new suit for each of there windows but it doesnt always work like that in the opensource world [08:04] *bring [08:04] kapz, im reporting a problem im having with libreoffice, its a new install of 12.04 and i can't get access to the client machine at this moment in time, so need the version before I can register, the problem is driving me insane [08:06] AdvoWork, check the about page, there the version no. should be listed. === cbhl_ is now known as cbhl === cbhl is now known as cbhl_ === cbhl_ is now known as cbhl [08:10] hi [08:11] i get the following problem when i try to run a program that depends on openkinect java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/libjnifreenect7602379555262344249.so: libfreenect.so.0.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader$loadLibrary.load(ClassLoader.java:1807) [08:11] I have a large network folder which I'd like to move to usb storage.

[08:41] Launchpad bug 88746 in linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu Jaunty) "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Won't fix] [08:41] 100+ users are affected. [08:42] This is a problem which now exists for 5 years. [08:42] Wasn't Ubuntu for 'human beings'? [08:42] o.o [08:43] fasta_, just rational ones. [08:43] Every time they just say one distribution is EOL and then ask someone to open the exact same bug again. [08:43] It is really hilarious. [08:44] Hint: if you haven't fixed it, it means it is still broken no matter what label you put on it. [08:44] does anyone here use ubuntu with intel hd graphics at all? [08:44] Why do you even have a bug tracking system if you don't fix the bugs? [08:44] hi. I'm trying to find a document I wrote a long time ago. How can I search for text inside a list of files (it could be txt, rtf, odt etc) and set it to only look for files under 3mb in size? [08:44] hey does anybody know how to show the time on xchat ? [08:44] You can better just have an e-mail address that doesn't resolve or something like that. [08:44] husseycoding: What is your problem? [08:44] That's cheaper for Canonical. === rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial [08:46] Even if there were, it would be a misuse of time to read through the 590 comments in this bug to determine what was of use. It is the Kernel Teams policy to close such bugs and have affected reporters open new bugs. [08:46] Really, where do you get this stuff? [08:46] Because you have too much people compaining, you complain about that. [08:46] basically I am looking to purchase a new machine, purely for business purposes, so no gaming etc. I know performance of hd graphics is very basic compared to dedicated cards but I just want to know really if it's going to be sluggish running unity and can it cope ok with flash and so on [08:46] You are even worse than the government. [08:46] guys how do i add vlan support to network-manager GUI ? [08:47] I typically have 4 desktops with around 6-8 applications open at any one time [08:47] is there a package? [08:47] husseycoding: What CPU power are you looking at? [08:47] hey does anybody know how to show the time on xchat ? [08:48] jackbrownhf, in preferences [08:48] shape: somewhere around the pentium G860 to core i3-2100 range, I am also looking at 8GB of RAM [08:48] jackbrownhf: settings preferences enable time stamps [08:48] sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfreenect.so.0.0 /usr/lib/libfreenect.so.0.1 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfreenect_sync.so.0.0 /usr/lib/libfreenect_sync.so.0.1 is one solution [08:49] Fyodorovna: i'm looking at it [08:49] husseycoding: And you are afraid that's too low for Ubuntu? [08:49] Fyodorovna: thanks it works [08:49] husseycoding: Or are you specifically thinking about HD playback? [08:49] jackbrownhf, cool. [08:50] hi , is there a minimal installation guide ? I don't want a complete desktop [08:50] shape: no, I expect ubuntu to run very well at that spec, at the moment I'm on a 7 year old Athlon FX-55 with 2GB RAM but I regularly go to swap [08:50] I tried alternative cd , but seems you can't choose what to install [08:51] I basically want to get something that could potentially last another 7 years hence going for a pretty decent spec for linux === enchilad1 is now known as enchilado [08:52] guys, i have vlan package... but wen i put the settings on /etc/network/interface and i do ifup eth0.100 ... network manager goes crazy [08:53] husseycoding: Going by that philosophy, the more expensive. the computer is, the longer it will last if you think of it as lasting long in terms of not being outdated [08:54] husseycoding: I'm just saying that because the top noch parts are usually the most expensive. But coming back to whether Ubuntu will run. Of course it will run on those specs. 8GB or RAM? That's more than enough. How is it working on your Athlon? I'm sure it's working fine since the system itself doesn't require much. [08:55] husseycoding: It all depends whatever you decide to do on it, and what programs you will run. === ServerSa_ is now known as ServerSage_ === ServerSage_ is now known as ServerSage [08:59] shape: yes indeed, but I'm not about to spend out a few thousand on a new machine for business use! At the moment my old FX-55 runs very well, and even the most basic CPU's far outstrip it, ie FX-55 scores just 675 on passmark, while a celeron G530 scores 2262, so what ever I go I'm going to have a massive increase in speed. The reason for a higher spec than ubuntu really needs is because I will be running virtual machines, possibly multiple, an [08:59] IDE, multiple browser instances, chat clients mail client etc etc. [09:00] how to upgrade komodo 6.1 to latest version in ubuntu 10.04 ? [09:00] I don't expect to reach the 8GB but I hope to also be able to run tmpfs [09:03] husseycoding: To really find out how much RAM you need is to run all the applications that you'd be running on a different computer with enough RAM and see how much they take. That way you won't have to spend money on extra ram you might not need. [09:04] Or programs (which I don't know whether they exist or not) that tell you how much swap is being used on top of the RAM, etc. [09:05] shape: unfortunately I don't have another machine to test that on. but tbh the RAM isn't really the problem as that only equates to perhaps £20-30 on top which isn't a problem, the graphics is more what I'm worried about [09:05] @shape there is a cool screen let called system monitor that will show you all your porcesses and how much ram you are using [09:06] however I have just searched for hd 2000 on youtube and someone is managing to run GTA4 on it with basic settings so I suspect it will be able to handle unity desktop functionality fine assuming the drivers are sufficient [09:07] the fallback will be to take the graphics card from this machine and use it in the new one and use this one for terminal access only [09:07] so install screenlets then open system monitor, google ubuntu screenlets. it will give you the sudo to install [09:07] husseycoding: What graphics applications are you using? Because I have an Intel duo core 1.86GHz laptop with intel graphics integrated (doesnt even support Hardware acceleration) and I run Ubuntu with Unity fine and it play HD 1080p smoothly [09:07] hi, is there a program for linux which filters the voice for my micro? for example logitech has a windows-program where i can speak with some1 ove the net and his or her voice is filtered out, so that this person only hears me and no echo of herself / himself [09:08] Hi, i am getting undefined error __LINUX_ARM_ARCH .. please let me know where to define .. i am trying to crosscompile cpx210 for pandaboard [09:09] shape: thanks, sounds like it's going to be fine if you find it smooth. the only graphics app I use is literally GIMP for tweaking client visuals [09:09] and flash is ok for you? [09:10] Hi, i am getting undefined error __LINUX_ARM_ARCH .. please let me know where to define .. i am trying to crosscompile cpx210 for pandaboard [09:10] husseycoding: Yes. I play 1080p smoothly on youtube if that's what you mean by "ok" [09:11] husseycoding: and My laptop (Toshiba Satellite L350 ) is worth 200$ now! [09:11] shape: hmmm actually just had a thought, virtual machines running Win7 - thats going to be a lot more taxing, any thoughts on that [09:11] lol, mine probably about the same ;) [09:12] husseycoding: Again, when you run lots of applications it's the RAM that is important since you need memory to run them all at the same time. CPU is only important when you actually start processing stuff. [09:12] Like HD playback, my CPU goes to 99% because I have no Hardware acceleration [09:12] yet it still plays smooth at 1.86GHz [09:13] Keep in mind an iphone4 or Galaxy S (first gen) have a 1Ghz processor and they both play HD. [09:13] sure, but any thoughts on the ability of the HD graphics to handle virtual machines? [09:14] hmmm, this may just be a case of taking the plunge with integrated graphics and see what the results are you know [09:14] How can I update my grub for the HD from a live USB? I messed up my boot and need to fix it..... [09:14] husseycoding: I used to run VMware with windows XP on the laptop and never had a problem. But I don't think the Graphics matter in virtualboxes unless you are playing an HD movie in windows simulated in Ubuntu. [09:14] !grub zizoo [09:15] !grub [09:15] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [09:15] husseycoding: However I would recommend to get a mid range graphics card that supports Hardware acceleration. [09:15] husseycoding: Integrated ones work as well, ATI, nvidia, etc. [09:16] husseycoding: My friend has an Acer Aspire One netbook (1Ghz single core) with ATI integrated and he runs Ubuntu and plays HD 1080 smoothly. I just saw it today actually. [09:16] Hi folks - I'm trying to netboot/install a new machine, but although I give the kernel a command line that ends with "-- console=ttyS2,115200n8", I get no output on the serial port once the kernel boots. So the PXE over serial works, and it confirms loading the kernel and initrd, says 'ready', and then silence. [09:17] shape: yes I think thats wise, hardware acceleration is probably going to be required. I'll have a look for some integrated solutions I think [09:18] husseycoding: just anything will do. They are really cheap. But as long as it has H/W acceleration it should be good so it won't be so tasking on the processor. [09:19] shape: thanks for the thoughts, I'll have a look around and make sure hardware acceleration is supported [09:20] husseycoding: On my desktop computer I have an Nvidia GTS 250 btw. And I can play everything very smoothly. My CPU is intel duo core 2.20 GhZ. [09:20] husseycoding: That card for example is only 50$ [09:21] It's a bit confusing getting what I want from that document. See, a friend thought he could help fix some problems I was having... so he copied my linux partition to another part of my drive (out of an extended partition it was stuck in) via GParted, and then deleted the old one. It wouldn't paste back into the same exact place though when I tried to fix it (because it wouldn't boot). Now I'm just trying to figure out how to re [09:21] store it to a copied Ubuntu partition. Not sure where to look for that in the Grub 2 documentation..... [09:21] husseycoding: If you get something around the 100$-150$ range you won't even have to worry about it. [09:21] shape: ah ok thats interesting, because some of the machines I have been looking at have the GT 520 but the general consensus seems to be steer clear, however that is probably said from a gaming perspective [09:21] husseycoding: Yeah, you said business. When it comes to games the GPU is very important. [09:22] yes indeed, used to be a gamer - no time anymore! [09:22] husseycoding: but for HD movies it's a piece of cake (i.e. GTS 250 card). Again I'll use my example that even a single core 1Ghz phone can play 1080p. [09:23] flash and ubuntu have come a long way since 8.04 [09:23] i think was 8.04 [09:23] !8.04 [09:23] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support continues until 2013. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. [09:23] yea thats it [09:24] shape: yes I think this discussion has made my mind up, just a basic graphics with hardware acceleration should be more than sufficient [09:24] husseycoding: Also, in case you do get problems with choppy HD, look into VLC enabling GPU acceleration. And also VAAPI. [09:25] husseycoding: some computers might need those drivers to run HD smoothly. [09:25] shape: thanks, I don't often need to play back HD video tbh, really just the odd youtube video/dvd an SD but will bear it in mind [09:25] husseycoding: Yep. Again, I can vouch for my 2.20 duo core with GTS 250 and 2GB ram that I have absolutely no problem with HD playback. [09:26] great thanks [09:26] Good luck! [09:26] cheers ;) [09:26] hi. I'm trying to find a document I wrote a long time ago. How can I search for text inside a list of files (it could be txt, rtf, odt etc) and set it to only look for files under 3mb in size? [09:31] anyone here know if theres any ARM version of Ubuntu 10.04 or 11? [09:31] makara: Search: "Search for Files" < it's a program that comes with Ubuntu and it has all the options you are asking for [09:31] HaiKaiDo: I haven't seen anything, but it's been a long time since I downloaded an iso. [09:32] i thinking about playign with this [09:32] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562138 [09:32] shape: how do I get to it? [09:32] HaiKaiDo: that looks cool :) [09:32] makara: What version of Ubuntu are you using? just type in the main search where you search for programs. [09:33] but yeah those guys did an awesome job developing it [09:33] all the hardware works completely [09:33] HaiKaiDo: I did see something about installing linux in android's app store, but I was too chicken to try it. [09:33] haha [09:34] shape: 11.10. I don't search for programs, I have their icons pinned in docky. If I can't find something i go to the terminal and type it there, like 'xchat' [09:34] the-erm, [09:35] theres pretty much no risk to this i believe [09:35] as it runs ontop of android [09:36] makara: In terminal type: gnome-search-tool [09:36] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm [09:36] What exactly is ubuntu server? [09:36] does it come with no UI pre installed? [09:36] cmd line only? [09:37] I don't know. [09:37] I think that regular ubuntu server comes with xubuntu, but I could be wrong. [09:37] hmmm [09:37] hi, how do i disable make's bash completion script? [09:38] shape: wow, thank you [09:38] makara: Np. Remember, google is your friend ;) [09:39] anyone know how to use 7za to extract files only containing a certain string? [09:40] Fear_cult: are you referring to the contents of a file, or a file name? [09:41] contents of an archive [09:41] i think ill just extract all and move the files i want to another dir then delete the rest of the stuff [09:41] You mean contents of a file inside an archive. [09:41] the-erm, [09:42] seems like it comes with no GUI pre installed [09:42] bummer. [09:42] normally i wouldnt have any problems with that [09:42] as i could just install one [09:43] but since this is the first time ill be trying to install like this [09:43] i dont want to introduce anymore chance for me to screw it up [09:43] xD [09:44] I've always wanted to make my own custom mp3 player. [09:44] for linux? [09:45] I got an android phone for < $100 not too long ago, but I don't like programming in java. [09:45] I've done it with python & gstreamer. [09:45] ahh [09:47] It kinda annoys me you have to void your warranty just to delete crap-ware & demos off your phone. [09:47] Howdy. just installing alarm-clock should make it appear in 'accessories' shouldn't it? [09:47] meh rooting doesnt void your warranty with most carriers now a days [09:48] the-erm, i know what you need [09:48] botbrew [09:48] hey why command "rm *.exe" doesn't work for removing all exe file of the directory i'm in ? [09:49] Thanks Moon_Doggy I'll look into it. [09:49] jackbrownhf: not it does? does 'echo *.exe' show them? [09:50] the-erm, dev channel #botbrew [09:50] jackbrownhf: perhaps there are files called something.EXE -- it's case sensitive. [09:50] just installing alarm-clock should make it appear in 'accessories' shouldn't it? [09:50] is jesse around? [09:50] you can ls *.exe to get a list of the files. [09:50] the-erm: yes but i want to remove all .exe files from that directory using ONE command [09:51] honk: It depends if alarm-clock is a system tray applet or not. [09:51] jackbrownhf: use 'rm *.exe' then :) [09:51] nopf: didn't works [09:52] jackbrownhf: yes, but why? [09:52] ls -l *.exe perhaps you don't belong to the user/group or it's read-only for you. [09:52] i think theer is an applet. not sure what that means [09:53] honk: what windows manager are you running? [09:53] if it's unity or gome3 someone else so going to need to help you :) [09:53] it appears that the package alarm-clock isn't an applet. [09:54] !netsplit [09:54] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:54] so alt+f2 and typing alarm-clock should start the program. [09:55] sorry im using lubuntu atm as im not sure what to use to get to this forum in ubuntu. does it have xchat? [09:55] lubuntu is great. [09:55] if i've installed roundcube with aptitude, and it installed version 0.5, and now I want 0.7.2 I must install it manually. What's the best method? should i uninstall roundcube by the package manager first? [09:56] lubuntu IS great === chris_ is now known as Guest45527 [09:58] ill be back in ubuntu [09:58] !info roundcube [09:58] roundcube (source: roundcube): skinnable AJAX based webmail solution for IMAP servers - metapackage. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.5.4+dfsg-1 (oneiric), package size 13 kB, installed size 128 kB [09:59] honk: I installed the package alarm-clock and the name of the program is actually alarmclock [10:00] the-erm yes, and it says 'tempalte' instead of 'template' === thinced_ is now known as thinced [10:08] Hi everyone, I have a permission problem. There is a .py file I want to edit but when I change something in it I get "Error Writing filename.py:Read-only file system". [10:08] I did "sudo nano filename.py" and tried to edit, but it gives the same error [10:08] robrecht: problem is in your filesystem [10:09] I mean tried to save the edit [10:09] Hm, so what should I do? [10:09] it is broken and therefore is in the ro mode [10:09] How do I change this ro mode? [10:09] you can reboot your computer and see if it automatically launches fsck [10:10] if not you need to manually run fsck [10:10] ok, thnx. Ill reboot and see what I get [10:10] thnx! [10:11] best way to do that manually fixing is to go into singleuser mode and then run ie. fsck /dev/sda** === magentar_ is now known as magentar [10:12] I wonder if he was trying to edit a file on a cdrom. [10:12] ok , ill try to reboot fits though [10:12] on my main drive [10:13] I was fiddling with cherrypy [10:13] ok. [10:13] ok worked out my alarm-clock problem (installed it and xchat in terminal). Theres no particularly good reasons to use the software centre (2.0.7) is there? [10:13] I think that somehow changed my file permissions [10:14] ls -l will give you the permissions. [10:14] and the group. [10:14] its -rw-rw-r-- 1 [10:14] for that file [10:15] I don't see why sudo nano wouldn't work. [10:15] Unless nano isn't installed. [10:15] it is [10:17] I have no original thoughts. Perhaps it is a locked file because it's corrupted :) [10:17] Lol, I can't even create a folder on my Desktop anymore [10:17] just checked [10:17] hmm why did my xchat nickname just change? said name is in use [10:18] Of course I don't edit anything in /usr/ or /bin/ . [10:18] robrecht: that would scare me. [10:18] it does : s [10:18] I hope you keep good backups. [10:19] Nope : ( [10:19] A file doesn't exist unless it's in 3 places :) [10:19] ? I didn't know that [10:19] Oh, u mean i should have at least three copies [10:20] for good measure [10:22] robrecht: you should have 1 copy on your working drive, 1 on a backup drive, and 1 off-site backup (in case of theft or fire) [10:22] Thnx for the advice [10:22] Blame Leo Laporte. He's always going off about it in his podcasts. [10:23] i'm trying to save the log to see what thinced wrote but I can't save anything anymore to my computer [10:24] i'm getting lots of 404's when i run `apt-get update` ?

However, since a few month ago, I need to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup each and -every- time I want to start Vbox.

[11:19] when I play an mpg (or several other formats) I get warnings that I need to install plugins... is there a media package I should install?

[11:20] bouma: ah the issue is that it is not automaticly downloading [11:21] iceroot_: no my issue is that the list displayed by update manager duplicates the info. actually it lists the same 3 things 3 times, for a total of 9 entries, 6 are duplicates [11:21] bouma: download a package does not mean install the package, so its correct that it is remebering you about the update [11:21] bouma: can you paste a screenshot?

[12:04] KM0201, traditional [12:04] same partition [12:04] I mean same hard drive [12:04] Chr|s: most likely grub didn't get installed to the MBR for some reason [12:05] i've also had this happen, when a drive had to many primary partitions. [12:05] hmm can only have 4 primary patitions right? [12:05] (this can happen because you've typically got your "C:" partition, then you've got a restore partition, then you've usualy got some sort of other crap partition... you can only have 4 primary's [12:05] hmm [12:06] Chr|s: when this has happened to me in the past. [12:06] i had to manually partition, usually making the swap logical, solved hte problem... (assuming you have a simple default install with just a /swap and a /) [12:07] Hey Guys...i need some help with installing a windows app through wine [12:07] KM0201, yup this is exactly what happen [12:07] Darn windows and system reserved files [12:07] Chr|s: yup, it's become more and more of a problem since manufacturers want to create 5-6 partitions on their drives now [12:08] i need to install coreldraw on ubuntu...can anyone help?

[12:13] ahhughes_ and kdenlive [12:13] KM0201, yes [12:14] Chr|s: but honestly, you don't need to reinstall windows 7 (at least you usually don't) [12:14] cheers MonkeyDust [12:15] Chr|s: also, 250gigs for Ubuntu is crazy big.. you might want to short cut a folder that is on your 7 partition, and keep all data there, then just create a more "normal" ubuntu partition, say 15-20gigs.. but.. thats just my opinion [12:15] it also makes it easier to share data between the two OS's [12:16] KM0201, I have a another drive that is 1TB that I use for that [12:16] oh ok. [12:16] Chr|s: i'm not that familiar with win 7, so i'm always concerned w/ windows running out of space [12:16] KM0201, Yeah, I turn off page file and only use windows for games [12:17] okk [12:17] this is a pseudo channel [12:17] 1600 members but no one cares [12:18] Qalqi they may not all be at their desks [12:18] Qalqi: or maybe nobody that is currently here, knows the answer to your question [12:18] Qalqi: best to wake up the 1600 members is with usefull questions, usefull details [12:19] Qalqi: everything else is not read here [12:20] iceroot_: you're not really suggesting that " ack doesnt install on my computer " isn't descriptive are you?

Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [12:30] Ah, thank [12:30] Ubuntu lets me type 'man git status'. On other distros I've used (old ones admittedly) I would have to type 'man git-status'. What is the magic sauce Ubuntu uses? I can still run the command as 'git status' on the other distros I mentioned [12:32] jmp: you rang? [12:34] does anyone know why I would have issues using sites like pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com ... anytime I go into one of these sites it loads just fine but as soon as I try to actually paste anything it sits there waiting till it times out any idea... its only on my ubuntu install not on my windows machine [12:35] osse: interesting point; try "man apt key" [12:35] hey guys i am new to linux and have a question and I wonder if you can help me.....i have ubuntu but 2 friends and a few articles i read said that unity is not as secure as gnome so I google "gnome vs unity on privacy, safety and security" and then I notice on distrowatch when I do a search for security or privacy or fire wall they all have gnome or I386 ....so why did ubuntu moved away from gnome? [12:36] osse: good question... it seems to work just fine when doing man git-status as well. [12:36] reisi, unfortunately, I'm not on Ubuntu at the moment :/ [12:37] and can i turn my ubuntu 11.10 into gnome? [12:37] krypton: it didn't move away from gnome, unity is built on gnome3, gnome2 is a dead project now [12:38] osse: apparently man will just concat args with '-' while searching, couldn't get it working for 3 args though; perhaps "git" includes a hint that concatenating might produce more accurate man page? [12:38] so the articles I read on google on unity vs gnome are wrong? [12:38] krytpton ... yes you can just install the gnome desktop manager ... personally I use XFCE on 11.10 [12:38] Hoyt: try the server CD image, it doesn't install a graphic desktop. You can add packages from there [12:38] krypton: not sure what articles you are referring to but unity is built on top of gnome3 [12:38] !unity | krypton [12:38] krypton: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity === alan_ is now known as Guest89576 [12:39] krypton: unity is a shell for gnome, but it is not gnome-shell (which is what people typically think of when referring to gnome 3) [12:39] but does that compromises gnome privacy, safety and security? [12:40] osse: looking through strace man git status, it would appear that man selects "git status" page from it's index [12:40] Krypton: unity vs gnome-shell doesn't have to do with security, because I believe that was your initial concern [12:40] Hi [12:40] yes [12:40] everybody. [12:40] I [12:40] Unity vs Gnome Shell is about how your desktop looks. Security doesn't have anything to do with that. [12:40] well the article I read said that unity has holes that can be hacked [12:41] krypton link? [12:41] and most secure distros are build on gnome [12:41] I want to toking.. [12:41] http://www.technewsworld.com/rsstory/72737.html [12:41] i love you [12:41] reisi, I have a command on my current system called 'adsl-connect'. 'man adsl-connect' works and 'man adsl connect' gives me the same page as 'man connect' would [12:41] fpoos [12:41] exit [12:41] willian: stop now [12:41] willian: this channels topic is ubuntu support discussion only [12:41] why [12:41] If I setup Ubuntu on VirtualBox will I be able to install it "normally" on another machine later? [12:41] reisi, huh. Interesting [12:42] krypton: secure distros built on gnome? gnome is just a desktop environment [12:42] http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/gnome-shell-vs-ubuntu-unity-which-desktop-wins/2291 [12:42] krypton: ignore [12:42] just ignore it? [12:42] jankud: install? [12:42] krypton: I'll write a web page that says Distros built on minix are better than fedora for security, it doesn't make it fact [12:42] i am new so i do not know what to believe [12:42] jankud: you mean copy the vm to real hardware? [12:42] iceroot_: exacly [12:42] ikonia:really? [12:42] krypton: anyone can put up a webpage, [12:42] krypton as soon as the ubuntu community sees that someone has bad intentions, they will react [12:42] jankud: yes its possible [12:43] lol true [12:43] krypton ... technically any system can be hacked the trick is does anyone really know how or are they just conceptualizing that it could be done under these curcumstances... then you have to ask is this a hack that can be done locally or remotely ... if your the only one using your computer and the hack is a local hack what are the changes the hacker is going to break into your house and hack your laptop... if you have that [12:43] kinda of person after you then you have way bigger problems than an unsecured desktop manager [12:43] so how can I make my ubuntu safer what should i add to it? [12:43] ubuntu: [12:43] krypton: safer?.. from what? [12:43] willian: do you want ubuntu support help yes/no ? === Guest89576 is now known as alantse [12:44] krypton start with ufw / iptables [12:44] what games can install ubuntu? [12:44] krypton: its already save by default [12:44] !games | willian [12:44] willian: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [12:44] I was surprised to learn that grub can boot a bunch of virtual disk images on real hardware, that might help [12:44] iceroot_: Thanks, just needed to know :) [12:44] ikonia: ? [12:44] willian: what ? [12:45] ikonia: Do you know? [12:45] willian: see the link ubottu gave you [12:45] willian http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html [12:45] well I am working on projects for the back i work so I handle secure private info and I need a laptop thats way secure thus i moved away from windows [12:45] cause its very insecure [12:45] bank [12:45] Bey. [12:46] krypton: security is a process not a product [12:46] krypton: default ubuntu installation with encrypted /home and strong passwords, dont install software from other sources then the ubuntu repos, dont enable the root- account, dont run software as root when not needed, always install sec-updates [12:46] what process I need to take to be secure === jalcine- is now known as Jacky [12:46] krypton: contact your banks security team [12:47] krypton, iceroot_ Just gave you the process. :-) [12:47] iceroot thanks [12:47] krypton: and try to avoid adobe flash, java or other insecure stuff [12:48] just my opinion [12:48] ok i will get rid of them iceroot and is firefox safe or should i get chrome? [12:48] krypton: both are fine [12:48] quit [12:49] krypton: stay away from ppas if you want a stable system [12:49] iceroot you are awesome thank you so much [12:49] krypton: but there goes the same, dont install any addon have a look at the addon first [12:49] ls [12:49] krypton, "Noscript' is a nice add-on for Firefox, for add'l security; then there's "adblock-plus. === albaneze_ is now known as albaneze [12:49] krypton: but GNU/Linux is not really in the focus of security issues, so dont worry [12:49] hi good eve/moanin/noon/midnight to all [12:51] i know iceroot thats way i left windows cause i had so many software just to keep it alive i felt like i was taking care of a sick baby on ICU with windows firewalls cause i had 3 and spyware and virus and so on [12:51] just wanna ask something...everytime i'll close my apps.....it seems they only disappear but yet still running on the system...when i do check my system monitor processes i can still see all the apps i'd closed seems working still what seems to be the problem? [12:51] krypton: firewall, anti virus.. all not needed here [12:52] krypton: the best protection is a user which is not doing crazy stuff, then the os is not your problem [12:53] windows sucks! i know thus I move to safer and better water i wanted to try debian but when i when to ask for help on there chat there were 2 people there and both way rude not nice like you all and they told me to go for the distros for dummies like mint, ubuntu, and pensure [12:53] krypton, This link contains a wealth of information regarding ubuntu and security: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812 [12:54] wow thanks! sidewinder you guys are awesome [12:54] does have notepad++ php synatx checker ?? [12:54] My pleasure. :-) [12:54] krypton: thqats how the ubuntu (and most of the open source community) is working [12:54] not debian people they were nasty and mean [12:55] krypton: no [12:55] * Sidewinder Left his nasty/mean hat in the other room. [12:55] krypton: but i aggre the RTFM is more common on debian then on ubuntu but debian is still great [12:56] why are they so unhappy maybe because they are not number 1 like ubuntu? lol [12:56] krypton, And, as you're probably well aware, ubuntu is Debian based. [12:56] just wanna ask something...everytime i'll close my apps.....it seems they only disappear but yet still running on the system...when i do check my system monitor processes i can still see all the apps i'd closed seems working still what seems to be the problem? [12:57] krypton: there are different reasons but i guess its offtopic in this channel === Keo is now known as Keo-w [12:57] all i ask them was "how do I intall debian?" they answer you should ask that simple of question here everyone knows how to install a distro you need to go to the distros for dumb people like ubuntu, mint, and opensure [12:58] yeah true [12:58] krypton: i bet that questions would results in similar results in this channl [12:58] krypton, There is a specific channel for chit-chat, it's #ubuntu-offtopic. [12:58] its in the past and i am here now [12:58] Fat_Thing ... if its something that has a daemon running in the background it will never really close ... bascially the same as a service windows ... if its something else like a game that never closes thats a different matter all together [12:58] lol well cause its easy to install ubuntu [12:59] anyway thank you all [12:59] :) [12:59] krypton: you are welcome [12:59] krypton: that wasn't what happened at all, but I have no intention of arguing with you about it here... [12:59] And good luck! [12:59] you are awesome thus i love ubuntu too [12:59] krytpton I have litterally tried just about all the major distros and I must say ubuntu is your best bet ... way easier to get rolling than most [13:00] does notepad++ php synax checker ?? [13:00] esak: i dont think so because a php parser is needed for that [13:00] thnk you donavan [13:00] esak: i guess eclipse has something like that [13:01] last question how big of a donation will ubuntu accept ? [13:01] i wand to donate to them you guys are way good [13:02] iceroot i download NppExec plugin. but dont know how use ? see this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6312023/is-there-a-php-syntax-checker-for-notepad [13:02] krypton: every donation is welcome and not only money, also support, testing, patch-writing-tell other people about ubuntu and so on [13:02] its not us ... we are just users like you ... but you can donate conical [13:02] How can i have my laptop sync up to my pc with all the same apps and settings(assuming i have the same ubuntu installed on both machines) [13:02] krypton: the best donation on ubuntu is use the system and if you find bugs report them [13:02] !bug | krypton [13:02] krypton: 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. [13:03] krypton: much more welcome then money [13:03] I have two questions. when booting from USB, does the USB need a boot loader or does it just need to be marked as active. Also, Will Linux/Ubuntu boot if the drive is formated in NTFS? [13:03] My PC will only boot from USB if the drive is NTFS. no clue why. [13:04] Bunie ... dont think it will do NTFS ... linux and NTFS are sketchy at best [13:04] will do you guys are great and deserve it thanks this by far has been the best distro and community i have visited my hats off to you all it a welcoming and tight community that helps ubuntu rocks [13:04] When i try to watch a youtube video i get a missing plug-in.I have flash installed. [13:04] Bunie best way to find out, is by creating a live usb and booting from it [13:05] I am using chromium. [13:05] Bunie: boot loader is needed [13:06] Bunie: and you cant install GNU/Linux on NTFS [13:06] !usb | Bunie [13:06] Bunie: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:06] Bunie: the isos have already a boot loader so you dont have to install a bootloader [13:07] s [13:07] What does {u} at the end of a package name about to be removed mean? [13:08] jeek: can you provide the complete output?

[13:09] i dun wanna install it On NTFS, i wanna install it From NTFS [13:09] у меня стояла винда на диске с. и стояла убунту... все это работало тоесть запускалось через "акроник". но вот настал момент когда у меня после обновлении померла убунту... так как реанимировать не получилось я решил ее переустановить... далее: захожу в би [13:09] Bunie: you want to create a bootbale ubuntu drive from windows? [13:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/944040/ [13:09] !ru [13:09] Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [13:09] Bunie: or is the iso stored on a ntfs drive? [13:09] iceroot_: Yes, but the drive has to be NTFS. my PC wont boot fat or fat32 USB devices [13:10] Bunie: your pc will boot everything [13:10] no lol i tried. [13:10] my PC wont boot ubuntu on fat 32 [13:10] Bunie: its not related to fat, ntfs, ext or something like that [13:10] it wouldnt boot windows on fat32 [13:10] my laptop would [13:10] Bunie: totally wrong [13:10] No. [13:10] I garantee my life. [13:10] Bunie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:10] Bunie: then you die now [13:10] i took the usb from my desktop, and plugged it into my laptop, and it ran [13:10] I get the impression that trying to install tofrodos is going to hose my system pretty badly. [13:10] then i changed format to NTFS, and it worked [13:11] Bunie: the bios is looking for the mbr which is not stored in any filesystem like ntfs, fat or ext [13:11] Bunie: after that the boot loader is called [13:11] then why did my laptop load it [13:11] Bunie: your bios even dont know what ntfs, ext or fat is [13:11] and my desktop wouldnt, until i changed to ntfs [13:11] Bunie: you just created the usb stick wrong [13:11] uefi knows [13:11] and why wont my desktop boot any linux usb [13:11] but they work fine on my laptop [13:11] daev_: uefi surely has no ext, ntfs or fat driver [13:13] fat32 yes [13:13] not ntfs [13:13] it may not make any sense but my desktop wont boot a fat32 usb drive. it will either freeze, give an error instantly, or just reboot. [13:14] hi all. Wacom Bamboo question [13:14] I'm trying to get dnsmaq to work on ubuntu 11.10. I got it to work on local dns wildcard adresses, however i disables my ips DNS [13:14] a Windows 7 usb wouldnt even boot until i re-did it in NTFS. so is it possible to make a Linux USB in NTFS? [13:14] sorry iceroot_ i didn't highlight, fat32 yes, ext# / ntfs no [13:14] Bunie: totally stupid what you are writing [13:14] The tablet is detected but can't make it work. I follow all the how-to everything looks fine [13:14] but still it doesn't work [13:14] feel free to come and check out my PC refusing to boot things that arent NTFS [13:14] Bunie: you copied the iso itself as a file on the stick? [13:15] no i used two USB makers [13:15] two different programs [13:15] Bunie: MBR is NOT fat, ntfs or ext!!!!!!! [13:15] I know it has nothing to do with it. [13:15] But it Doesnt Work [13:15] It's a mystical phenomenon, then. because my laptop boots them perfectly. [13:16] wrong architecture? [13:16] ^ [13:16] no, my desktop is x86_64 [13:16] will boot both. [13:16] did you use unetbootin, that's quite a good one. [13:16] the point is. why did they work on my laptop [13:16] unetbootin is good... if that doesnt work you could try the fedora live usb creator [13:17] iceroot_: Screw it, I'll just install dos2unix from source [13:17] For some reason Ubuntu left it out of 10.04, but brought it back for 10.10 [13:17] Bunie: have you done the exact! same steps as ubottu was suggesting? [13:17] !usb | Bunie [13:17] Bunie: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:18] Bunie: we are talking about an ubuntu iso? [13:18] Bunie, Also, make sure that you Md5sum the ISO image before you copy/install it to your USB. [13:18] now you guys arent making any sense. we're talking about a USB. that boots fine on one PC and not another. [13:19] Bunie: no sense is talking about using ntfs for gnu/linux [13:19] unless every fat32 usb has refused to boot for me, including ones carrying Windows 7 [13:19] when is the release about new ubuntu? [13:19] until i switched that to NTFS. So. [13:19] Bunie, if that is what's happening the issue is likely down to your bios on the pc [13:19] Bunie: windows 7 will surely not run on fat32 [13:20] iceroot_: it ran on my laptop [13:20] Bunie: why the hell running a os with fat32 [13:20] installer* [13:20] Usb installer, i ment [13:20] Bunie: ... [13:21] Bunie: when you put an iso on a usb stick the stick will change the filesystem for that partition [13:21] roloncito, Please see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [13:21] Sidewinder, thanks [13:21] roloncito, My pleasure. :-) [13:21] Bunie: normally installers are coming in the iso file system [13:22] I'm gonna go be sad now. i just needed to know if making a Live USB using NTFS was possible [13:22] Bunie: and because the windows image is bigger then 4gb its totally stupid to say its fat32 [13:22] Bunie: ... [13:22] my Windows ISO is like 3.7GB [13:22] iceroot: I guess the {u} is unneeded? === q-rban is now known as q0rban [13:23] jeek: sounds correct [13:23] 3.7<4.0 [13:23] Hello, I'm just owndering if on 26th I'll have to reinstall the whole system or if my 12.04 beta2 will automatically upgrade to the official lts release. [13:23] Bunie: you dont know what you are saying [13:23] Bender_ the second [13:23] Bender_: when you put an iso to an usb stick, you will copy the file system of that image too [13:23] Good morning, guys. [13:24] Bender_: you cant change the filesystem of that [13:24] Is there a final version of Skype for ubuntu? [13:24] Bender_: wrong nick sorry [13:24] Arlee activate the partner sources [13:24] ok [13:24] I have 2.2 beta [13:24] Thank you :) [13:24] iceroot_, Bunie left..

Sorry about my lack of information.

[13:28] any help with wacom? [13:28] Anomie21: but imo on GNU/Linux its not the default, there it is myisam (or what it is called) [13:29] iceroot_: Not on my installation, doesn't work at all. Getting the following error when trying to install magento 'Database server does not support the InnoDB storage engine.' [13:29] Anomie21: what ubuntu release? installed mysql from the repos? the same for phpmyadmin? [13:29] iceroot_: 11.10, Yes I followed the LAMP [13:29] *Linode LAMP [13:29] Arlee sudo apt-get update after you activate 'canonical partners', then you can install skype [13:29] Anomie21: followed the lamp means?

[13:30] iceroot_: yep [13:30] iceroot_: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-11.10-oneiric [13:30] followed that [13:31] Anomie21: http://guy.vsbnet.be/content/no-innodb-support-ubuntu-server-1110 [13:31] Anomie21: seems like something wrong with your innodb and it cant be load [13:32] Anomie21: any errors on startup or in the logs? [13:32] Anomie21: /var/log/syslog [13:33] Anomie21: have a look at /etc/mysql/my.cnf is there #skip-innodb [13:33] Anomie21: if there is no # you have the reason === MartinS is now known as Guest63795 [13:38] iceroot_: sorry was afk, thanks will look into that further [13:38] Anomie21: ok [13:39] iceroot_: Yeah it says 'skip-innodb' [13:39] Just remove that and restart mysql? [13:39] hello, is there any way that i can connet from localhost (through machine B - doesn't support X forwarding) to machine C (supports X forwarding) and run any X command? [13:40] pppd: no [13:40] ikonia: ok, thank you [13:41] is using root btrfs a bad idea with precise? [13:41] iceroot_: woo, working now. Thanks [13:41] helo: in my opinion, yes [13:43] Anomie21: that was the default ubuntu configuration and you did not change it? [13:43] iceroot_: yeah [13:43] Anomie21: very strange. on my debian its enabled by default, never used mysql on ubuntu but for its strange to disable innodb by default [13:44] is the us repo down? [13:44] Anomie21: i just know that innodb is not the default engine on GNU/Linux [13:44] Keyboard and Mouse Microsoft Desktop 800 Wireless, work in any Linux distro, right? [13:44] where does ubuntu store the hostname [13:44] helo: using precise and btrfs on a production system is a bad idea [13:44] trying to find the file so i can update [13:44] MrUnagi, i am struggling to intall from software center [13:45] Keo-w: /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [13:45] keeps saying internet down [13:45] !host | Keo-w [13:45] !hosts | Keo-w [13:45] Hello!

WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [13:45] iceroot_, ikonia: it's my desktop system, and all important files are on a different partition [13:46] helo: for testing btrfs is ok, for normal usage not [13:46] iceroot_: yeah, weird one.

[17:45] ActionParsnip, I have about 70 users with different sittings [17:45] Good evening everyone [17:45] http://pastebin.com/tz5u9FtL [17:46] ActionParsnip: holy shit. how come that worked but export http_proxy didn't? [17:46] simonlock: its the same permissions as the system itself. So you can make groups of users and so on and grant access as you would on the local system [17:46] Whitch file browser is the best for browsing FTP folders too? [17:46] ActionParsnip, Thanks. [17:46] shit, it's because proxy wasn't done as root [17:46] my god [17:46] thank you ActionParsnip [17:46] derek12: no idea, I didn't read it or use a proxy but it looked ok [17:46] derek12: Please mind your language here. [17:47] derek12: makes sense, when you use sudo the command is ran as root :) [17:47] Pici apologies [17:47] ActionParsnip: hindsight! [17:47] Imre_: they are all pretty good, nautilus does it and is in the default install. It can be added as a bookmark and seamlessly navigatable as if the data were local [17:49] Nautilus is very gooy, indeed. But there is one big bug in it and I would like to have a workaround. If the server is a VSFTP server, Nautilus simply ignores the servers options. Like: all the users can browse, the whole server. That's my problem. Any idea? [17:50] Imre_: could use filezilla [17:50] ActionParsnip: now I'm getting "can't sync access denied" to my dropbox files :( [17:51] derek12: check the ownership of your dropbox data? [17:51] this is during the sync, I see it in the dropbox menu [17:51] ActionParsnip: Good idea, but the users who I'm making the system are not experts, not even using computer often. I need a simple and easy sollution. Nautilus was fine. I'll soon try Dolpin and TuxCommander [17:53] Imre_: then use dropbox or something, not ftp [17:54] krababbel: Thank you for your tipp. But it won't work. It is a long story. :) But I'll find a sollution. [17:54] Imre_: would sshfs be an option? you can lock each user into their own directory on the server using it IIRC. [17:54] Imre_: try pcmanfm :) [17:55] wylde: Hm ... Intresting [17:55] Action: Why didn't I think of that ... :D [17:55] Imre_: or thunar [17:56] Has anyone had success with Xmonad/Unity in 12.04?

Like install things from other untrusted sources or install core pacakges manually etc.. [18:05] I have a question about backing up my Linux installation. Is there a way to backup the drive as a whole image to later restore or would I have to re-install/re-configure all of my OS again. [18:05] hmm, i may have done that [18:05] Daghdha: more can go wrong with an upgrade than a fresh install [18:05] Anyone? [18:06] Fhajad_Work: it'd be easier to make a tarball, so it's not an exact image size of the disk it's on [18:06] mwozniak00: uhh...you posted the bug report about 10 minutes ago. If you're looking for an instant fix, that's not how things work.

[18:07] Fhajad_Work: nothing, if you do it right [18:07] !tlc [18:07] beandog: And to restore the tarball, would I just need to run off a Live disk and extract the tarball to the destination drive? [18:07] Fhajad_Work: yah [18:07] mantise: its tcl, not tlc. [18:07] my mistake :P [18:07] !tcl [18:08] beandog: That helps a lot, thank you. :) [18:08] Hi. I'm kinda new to Ubuntu. Trying out XChat. [18:08] Fhajad_Work: Boot off a live cd of some kind, then create an image using tar [18:08] mantise: and there still isn't a factoid for it. Just install the tcl package with your favorite package manager. [18:08] has anyone here attempted to install ventrilo server? [18:08] Hi, I'm trying to translate documents from one language to another, and was looking for a tool that might help my workflow. Currently I just have gedit open in one window, and the PDF in the other, and type away. Some kind of mouse-hover dictionary, or sentence matching tool would be helpful (or maybe something else). Any ideas? [18:08] wylde: i know that, i don't respect that anybody make this .deb in one hour. But meybe somebody know any ppa witch this kernel module.. [18:08] Fhajad_Work: something like tar -jcpf image.tar.bz2 /mnt/whatever would work. You need -p to retain correct permissions [18:09] mwozniak00: fair enough :) Just making sure. [18:12] Hi, quick question about xfce/gnome. i'm running xubuntu, and in the "about" files it says xfce4 but in sysinfo it says gnome 2.32.1. [18:12] Is there a way to determine what -an id- i have manually installed packages. I seem to recall installing mono but not sure it was done from the package manager [18:12] Something like SDL trados would be useful.. [18:13] i was under the impression xfce and gnome were different... ?? [18:14] mm_: sysinfo app is probably gnome-based === mneptok is now known as Prici [18:14] gnome is actually a meta-package of lots of apps === Prici is now known as mneptok [18:14] same with xfce [18:14] so, gnome is the container? [18:14] yah [18:15] nautilus is part of gnome, but you don't need to be in gnome to run it [18:15] thank you very much! you guys are awesome! [18:15] i was just wondering why the different labels, that's all. [18:20] Is there any file managers that can move/copy as a background process BESIDES Midnight Commander? Unfortunately MC is very unreliable with background operations. === MartinS is now known as Guest63896 [18:21] well i started the upgrade [18:21] fingers crossed [18:21] nautilus does file operations in a new window [18:21] 10>11 [18:21] so you could ignore it [18:23] is it normal to seat in a Starbucks, see the felow next to you boot into Windows OS, and get slightly sick ? [18:24] GG111: No that's not normal [18:24] GG111: maybe, ask the folks in #ubuntu-offtopic about it [18:24] * Lint01 yawns at GG111 [18:24] Pici: you're right. sorry. === ubuntu is now known as dissoc [18:26] thought I must say that Lint's fondness of windows amasses me :) [18:27] sup can i run EXE files?

[18:30] UIM: if it is a "simple" .exe file, as in not an installable file, rather then a simple file to run, then the chances increase of it working.

[18:30] Boys, boys [18:30] i'm running ubuntu 11.10 [18:30] so you just want to run putty……just to say that you are running putty? [18:30] help me find a name for my Ubuntu Edition [18:30] It's about education [18:31] MrUnagi: Never mind. [18:31] simplier and faster than EdUbuntu [18:31] now I can write my small perl script and don't need putty, but back in the day, I needed it. for a few days :) [18:31] I need a short and good name [18:31] !

[18:32] geez guys, drop it [18:32] who cares [18:32] GG111: MrUnagi I think we have covered that topic. [18:32] MrUnagi: it was a question about wine, do you not think the putty.exe is a viable answer ? [18:32] no [18:32] MrUnagi: then you're wrong. good day. [18:32] you too! [18:33] You can't fire me, i QUIT! [18:33] what can I install that does the same job as kdenlive but for xfce? or if I can just use kdenlive how do I install the "MLT" packages on ubuntu ?

It was working fine a little while ago today [18:38] pchapman: so, no valuable info on it, beside the OS ? [18:38] The Ubuntu system connects via a Bridge provided by VMWare player. [18:38] pchapman: in a player??? [18:39] i don't understand what you're asking [18:39] I do not know if the problem is with the bridge or Ubuntu system. [18:39] Any pointer on how I can find out what is wrong? [18:39] i think GG111 was going to suggest re-partitioning and formatting the drive, but wanted to check if there was any valuable data on it first [18:39] you are running the operating system with a player? [18:40] pchapman: so, no valuable info on the 2TB , beside the Operating system ? [18:40] The host system (Windows) is able to access n/w without any problems [18:40] oh. yeah, i can copy the stuff i have off first, and reformat [18:40] i've thought about doing that, but figured i'd ask first. maybe go back with ext3 [18:40] the OS is on a different SSD drive, so i'm good [18:40] pchapman: because errors like that certainly aren't normal. ext4 is plenty stable and is preferable to ext3. how was the drive partitioned? [18:40] pchapman: I don't see a reason to do that, back to ext3 [18:41] it's one large partition for data stuffs [18:41] right, but who wrote the partition table? the lubuntu installer? factory? [18:41] mp3's a few virtual machine disk files, that kinda thing [18:41] lubuntu [18:41] actually, i think mint did originally [18:42] hi, I have a possibly faulty radeon card [18:42] but that's ubuntu based, so... [18:42] how can I diagnose it? [18:42] pachapman: since your OS is already separate, i'd back up the data and fdisk. may as well throw lvm if you're comfortable [18:43] I'm getting "radeon couldn't schedule etc" [18:43] i've used lvm. though i've never really gotten much use out of it. never really did any changes in drive sizes that i didn't just reinstall a newer verison of ubuntu anyway [18:43] on the other hand, if you see _any_ other messages about the disk in syslog/dmesg, it may be a hardware issue, so double check that [18:44] !quakenet [18:44] all i see is the bad header/extent messages, sectioneight [18:44] i'll try a reformat [18:45] thanks for the help [18:45] yea, i mean disk issues are hard to diagnose, but as a baseline i'd wipe any existing information just so you can start eliminating causes [18:45] pchapman: I'll be a nag and ask : why 2TB and not 2x 1TB with a software RAID ? :) [18:45] Is Ubuntu light enough to be used in a virtual machine with 512MB RAM allocated, for running a LAMP server? [18:45] I'm having problems with my ubuntu 11.10 ever since I changed video card to nvidia gf280. If I boot to 3.0.17 normal does not work and machine reboots. If I boot to Recovery Mode works, but then internet connection is not working, but was working before. Also forgot in recovery mode before getting to unity desktop, I get the Recovery Menu with choices to check disks, and some message about a scsi dev sg3 type 5. after [18:45] mystblade9: sure, just use ubuntu server (don't install x) [18:45] mystblade9: yes, no P. [18:45] GG111, mostly because i have this data backed up anyway and if it goes boom on me, i don't care so much === sysdoc_ is now known as sysdoc [18:46] pchapman: cool, so, happy nuking of the drive. just re fdisk and mkfs it. [18:46] it's just annoying to have it flip to read-only and programs give me fits when it can't write [18:46] * pchapman nods [18:46] if it keep on after that. that's bad. [18:46] thanks for the help. kinda what i was expecting to hear, but it was good to get a second opinion [18:46] sectioneight: Is Ubuntu Server basically Ubuntu without X? Or is it heavily tweaked for business? That's the impression the website is giving me. [18:47] Hello to Ubuntu! [18:47] hi there, I got this quick question [18:47] mystblade9: it geared towards performance for services, not for users. that's the little I know. [18:47] mystblade9: no tweaking, just a different set of default packages to install. regular ubuntu will install gnome/unity for you, which you certainly don't need/want for a lamp server [18:48] I can't seem to see my windows personal files on ubuntu [18:48] sectioneight: alright :) [18:48] because those files are "locked" [18:48] or something [18:48] Has anybody started using 12.04 [18:48] anybody know how to "unluck" them [18:48] salviadud: do you mean you cannot see an NTFS partition ? [18:48] i know linux can read NTFS just fine [18:48] oops, it just flipped to ro again. lol. going to nuke this thing... [18:48] i can see the ntfs partition [18:48] pchapman: good luck [18:48] but certain folders are not visible [18:48] Thanks, I can go on now. Bye! [18:48] due to permissions, i guess [18:48] windows 7 is hell... [18:48] i have start to test 12.04 [18:49] salviadud: are those system files ? or user files ? [18:49] under users/myuser [18:49] user files [18:49] What do You think of it?

[18:51] salviadud: sorry, that's the best I can think of. [18:51] i'm not a n00b, lol [18:52] * salviadud knows how to execute the /me command [18:52] its more of a windows oriented question about folder permissions... [18:52] it screws up my ubuntu [18:52] lista [18:53] how can I find out what graphics card I have from the terminal? [18:53] salviadud: I had some NTFS mounted, did have my set of trouble , but was able to see all files.

[18:58] guakkione: yes the repos for ubuntu/lubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu are all exactly the same, the only difference are the default installed packages [18:58] salviadud: yes they're just it, but software graphical interface are specific. [18:58] no monitor, and no keyboard... that sounds like you might need to recompile the kernel [18:58] GG111: Yes, from what I understand.

[18:59] trism: I wanna download a graphic plotter. Found some, but not for lxde, and I don't wanna install kde-compatibility-package on my distro cause It must be as lightful as possible [18:59] 003 [18:59] trism: there's not a list of sw based only on lxde [18:59] ?

[19:00] GG111: Yes [19:00] guakkione: wxmaxima is a pretty nice interface for plotting graphs, and it doesn't have too many deps [19:01] brahmana: and you're expecting to get a DHCP address on that interface, yes ?

[19:04] yes [19:04] 55 mins left in my upgrade :P [19:05] GG111: Not really, I can try searching [19:05] GG111: If you know the commands off-hand I can try those. I am fairly familiar with command line [19:05] brahmana: it looks like you're interface if fine, just needs an IP address. [19:06] ok, what's the name of the device again?

[19:08] hi folks, Vodaphone ZTE K3805-z usb 3g dongle, does it work in ubuntu, it seems to detect it ok, and as I am not using vodaphone software (it is software locked not hardware locked from what I gather) will it work with say a GiffGaff sim? [19:08] work as in the site loads with no issues and does not time out [19:09] brahmana: after setting the IP address ,can you ping the host from the guest [19:09] donavan01, do they load eventually?

[19:13] GG111: I think so, yes [19:13] I'm having a problem with connecting to my msn account on Empathy. It lasted a week a month ago and I ignored it then. Last week I logged into ubuntu which I hadn't done for a long time and it worked again (without touching empathy settings.) Now it doesn't connect anymore again also not after reboots. [19:13] brahmana: is the host a windows or Linux ? [19:13] donavan01: maybe try using wget and loading the sites in question (or some 3rd browser) [19:13] GG111: Although I have not been able to really understand how a software bridge would actually work.. but I get the general picture [19:14] GG111: Host is Windows 7 [19:14] Also empathy gives: "No reason given"; as error message [19:14] brahmana: issue ipconfig /all on the host, and paste please. [19:15] GG111: http://pastebin.com/MwmqGqM6 [19:16] llutz: Can anything be inferred from that grep output? [19:17] brahmana: so, your VM network is 192.168.206.1 , your VM should have a DHCP running, not sure how to do that from the top of my head. but, if you're able to go "out" with the VM by setting the IP - [19:17] brahmana: nope, it just was a (wrong) guess [19:18] hung_yao just tried doing the wget thing and it seemed to work just fine ... I am fairly sure they probelm is not a network issue because my windows machines work fine ... it seems to be something with ubuntu [19:18] brahmana: of your "regular" netowrk, then if you have (any) DHCP working on your network, then your VM is supposed to pick a DHCP IP from it as well. [19:18] GG111: Did you infer that IP address from the VMNet8 setting? [19:19] brahmana: yes [19:19] donavan01: alright... maybe try looking at proxy settings for the respective browsers? disable extensions for each of them too? [19:19] brahmana: but that would put any VM with that network behind a NAT [19:19] brahmana: which is a pain in the neck, unless you must have it. [19:20] GG111: That's right.. I am having it on bridged connection [19:20] hung_yao no proxy and if I punch in the the IP it works ... I would think it was the DNS server but I have tried 5 different servers and they all behave the same way [19:20] brahmana: do you now "who" is supposed to be the DHCP on you LAN ? [19:20] *your [19:20] GG111: So I don't think VMNet8 is in the play at all here.. from what I understand [19:20] GG111: My wireless router/modem [19:21] brahmana: and if one was to connect a wire to your LAN, they would have gotten an IP address ?

[19:22] apt-get update hangs at "Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.23)" [19:23] brahmana: that's fine. should not be an issue. [19:23] donavan01: hard to diagnose the issue - whether it's a problem with firefox, or chrome, or ubuntu... as far as i know, the only diff is that chrome passes a URL by default into google's antiphishing service to check it first, but if FF is having a different set of issues too, hrmm. maybe try empathy or opera and see whether it shares any of the problems or has a different set of problems? [19:24] GG111: Do you a few more minutes? I have a couple of questions about network bridge (nothing specific to ubuntu). Would you be willing to answer those? [19:24] sure, PM me [19:24] Great..

[19:53] LucaS05: you might wanna go to the mac channel [19:53] cause i don't want to remove it i want to format it into ext2 for install linux [19:53] narsil: It's just that I find installing from USB less problematic. [19:53] LucaS05: use disk utility in OSX [19:53] aeon-ltd i'm sorry but i want to install ubuntu...so i'm here [19:54] anyway do you know tje option? [19:54] the* === puff` is now known as puff [19:55] LucaS05: i would just do it from the ubuntu install cd, it's all part of the installer [19:55] is it possible in 11.10 to have Unity 2D enabled and compiz completely disabled ? [19:56] test [19:56] !test | narsil4 [19:56] narsil4: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use #test ) [19:56] treble54: unity2d depends on Metacity and uses no Compiz if I recall correctly, eh? [19:56] ciao [19:56] Doesn't ubuntu install grub when I elect to use my whole disk? [19:57] I'm seeing true-transparency, and when you bring up the expose-like feature, it's completely smooth like compiz is enabled [19:57] narsil4: It does [19:57] !list [19:57] fefderico: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [19:57] narsil4: of course it does, you will not see it normally [19:57] treble54: Oh, huh. Anyhow, I think Unity can work with Metacity or Openbox or any wm you choose. [19:57] I've also googled some and I'm seeing that compiz is enabled and has minor items enabled [19:57] aeon-ltd thanks [19:57] I have yet to find out how to completely disable compiz [19:57] while running Unity-2D [19:57] treble54: Not so sure, but... "metacity --replace"? [19:57] can i put the live version of ubunty on usb? [19:58] let me try [19:58] I've been using ubuntu 11.10 since it has been released. Now it doesn't show application menu anymore. for example now I'm using firefox and I have no menu. It's a pain! I need javascript console [19:58] treble54: Or something along the lines of "killall compiz && metacity" [19:58] I don't believe the compiz is the process name either [19:58] I tried grepping for that and couldn't find it [19:58] one sec tho [19:58] LucaS05, yes try unetbootin [19:58] What are the possible reasons for an unbootable hard disk after 11.10 install? This has happened twice. [19:59] treble54: I'm actually making blind guesses here, I haven't used Ubuntu since Lucid (and that had no Unity). [19:59] thanks guys! [19:59] ok [19:59] LucaS05: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [19:59] Question - I want to create a bunch of blank files that take up space to max this drive out - how can I do it? [19:59] unfortuantely, my hardware is limiting [19:59] narsil4, multiple hard drives and a grub in the wrong mbr is one. [20:00] roasted: Uhm, well, BLANK files take no space so it's impossible to max the space out with them :P Or do you mean as in filled with zeros? [20:00] Fyodorovna: well I have just one HD. [20:00] and I cannot run compiz with my current flavor of ubuntu, and circumstances have forced me up to update to a newer version of ubuntu [20:00] !bootinfo | narsil4 [20:00] narsil4: Boot info script is a usefull script for diagnosing boot problems. Run the script following the directions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and then look at RESULTS.txt (or !pastebin it for others to look at). [20:00] theadmin: yeah... I had done this before... I just forget the command. I made continual 10MB files until the drive maxed itself. [20:00] my one requirement is that compiz cannot be enabled [20:00] roasted: You want to try and use inodes? [20:01] narsil4, you could run the bootscript and post it in a pastebin if you like. [20:01] cap: I uh.. have no idea. [20:01] cap : figured it out ... MTU was set wrong ... needed to be 1492 instead of auto [20:01] cap: this hdd is getting warrantied. I wanted to wipe it and max it out of data several times as a further layer of preventative data privacy when I send this drive back. [20:01] roasted: http://www.linfo.org/inode.html [20:01] roasted: Hm... x = 1 ; while true ; do dd if=/dev/zero of=$x bs=10M count=1 ; let x=$x+1 ; done [20:02] roasted: Oh, you want to write zeros to it. [20:02] Fyodorovna: that seems to need a working ubuntu install? I don't have one. [20:02] cap: basically [20:02] theadmin: let me give that a shot... [20:02] roasted: try this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=16M [20:02] roasted: do as theadmin suggests [20:02] narsil4, no a live cd is what you would use. [20:02] theadmin: I'm not sure that command makes sense to me. Where's the destination at? [20:02] Fyodorovna: the install CD isn't the live CD? [20:03] roasted: Ah butterflies, get rid of the spaces in "x = 1" ("x=1") [20:03] sorry my system says /dev/raw1394 cant find the file [20:03] narsil4, there is a live cd and a alternative cd both install one runs live. [20:03] roasted: It will create files named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... etc, ten megabytes each, until the space runs out [20:03] theadmin: would sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=10M do anything? === lx-gr is now known as lxgrx [20:03] Fyodorovna: can I run bootscript using the regular install CD? [20:04] modprobe raw1394 [20:04] roasted: Yeah, but that'd erase the entire drive, dunno if that's what you want [20:04] FATAL: Module raw1394 not found [20:04] theadmin: hm, why not both? :D [20:04] theadmin: the idea is to just blast the drive as much as possible. [20:04] narsil4, you can run it from a live ubuntu cd it is a install cd as well. [20:04] firefox 12 just got released will ubuntu catch it and update it through the update manager? [20:04] roasted: Then do the whole drive, (about 7 times). [20:04] roasted: i'd use explosives to blast a drive [20:04] roasted: Try dban, also why on earth do you want this anyway? [20:05] tarzeau: explosive would require me paying for it then :P [20:05] shadykhan: in a few days yes [20:05] tarzeau: if I return the drive, I'm off the hook [20:05] roasted: oh, there's usually enough nice stuff in kitchens and cleaning rooms [20:05] roasted: a hammer is cheaper [20:05] roasted: if you just want to erase the complete drive, do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=16M" [20:05] cap: besides the point :P [20:05] nitzs: thanks, that's what it's doing now. [20:05] nitzs: Why 16M exactly? Personal preference? xD [20:06] roasted: get an old broken speaker, remove the magnet from the voice coil and let the drive "rest" on it for a day or so. Maybe flip it over a time or two as well. heh. [20:06] theadmin: much faster than leaving away any bs number [20:06] theadmin: the default is like one or a half kb [20:06] i count in powers of 2 ;) [20:06] theadmin: which will take WAY longer than with a few megabytes of bs [20:06] roasted: use a secure wipe util [20:07] nitzs: is that to suggest 100M would be that much faster? [20:07] beandog: that's all for nothing, dd will do just fine [20:07] Fyodorovna: I'm asking if I can run the boot info script from ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso -- I can't make another CD because I blew away Windows from the machine that had the burner. [20:08] roasted: it depends upon your hdd's buffer. [20:08] roasted: Theres ready made bootd CD's with secure wipe tools on it. I used one once for a company that was offloading a bunch of PC's [20:08] tarzeau: Well eh, (s)he wants to load up the drive if I understand properly, thus a longer write will do better, therefore a small bs. [20:08] Well... I'm not sure I understand what "blast" means. [20:09] I want to use encfs and set it up in a ubuntuone cloud under windows today. In ubuntu I can only mount it as root. Is that as expected? [20:09] theadmin: there is also the curve ball I'd like to swing by UPS within 30 minutes to return it, too. [20:09] is ANYONE using ubuntuone? seriously? [20:10] I don´t [20:10] theadmin: there's not much on it, but I'd rather run a command or two while I have a few minutes to further ensure data is gone [20:10] tarzeau: Some people are, but I see no point in using something so unportable (Only Ubuntu and Windows? Seriously? Ignoring other distros entirely is not an option...) [20:10] I use ubuntu one [20:10] tarzeau, What's wrong with it? [20:10] tarzeau, nope never going to [20:10] floogy: you have to ask? [20:10] mostly just with my android phone (it auto syncs my phone pictures, that's it) [20:10] it's flipping niiice. [20:10] theadminit won't work with debian? [20:10] u1 [20:11] i'm on 11.04 now i think, upgrade c ompleted and booted. [20:11] floogy: Not sure on that one. It might work on .deb-based distros, but basically, the hamster is in that it won't work on non-debian ones. [20:11] I interrupted the ubuntu installer the first time it ran, when I realized I didn't make swap size large enough. Thereafter, ubuntu has failed to install twice, producing an unbootable hard drive both times. My guess is that it has a corrupted mbr, but not corrupted enough for ubuntu to overwrite it. [20:11] Does that sound plausible? [20:11] floogy: Besides, due to the different package naming, it might fail even on Debian. [20:11] theadmin: you can compile it from source if you want to. [20:11] narsil4: if you wipe the drive and recreate the file system, I fail to see why that would be an issue [20:11] nitzs: Oh, so they DO have source-code -- something made me think otherwise. Just a sec, let me find it :P [20:12] narsil4, if ubuntu can run gparted, it is not so corrupted [20:12] Ok, it was only a try to setup a cloud and a folder with encrypted files in it... === toto is now known as Guest71268 [20:12] roasted: is it possible that the hard drive was wiped, but because ubuntu sees an apparently valid mbr, it doesn't touch it? [20:12] nitzs: I can't find any sane form of source in their "download" section. [20:13] What kind of cloud are you using then, or did you setup your own server as a cloud server? [20:13] narsil4: what size of swap would have been large enough for you? [20:13] floogy: I personally use Wuala (ownCloud if you want your own server is a good idea though) [20:13] how much swap space would you take for 256 GB memory? [20:13] narsil4: I'm not sure. Personally I'd probably just reintsall. [20:14] theadmin: you are probably looking in the wrong place. [20:14] narsil4, if it is the live cd yes. [20:14] tarzeau: swap is normally = to the RAM size (for hibernation purposes) [20:14] nitzs: Might be, lol. [20:14] it's written in python. [20:14] roasted: yes, I've tried reinstalling twice. Each time gave an unbootable hard drive. [20:14] * terrel43 slaps terrel43 around a bit with a large trout [20:14] roasted: not all computer hibnerate, so? 256 GB diskspace wasted for swap? [20:14] I'm currently dual-booting windows 7 and ubuntu 11.10, but I'm having trouble with my wireless. I have an intel wifi 1000 card and every time I try to turn the wireless on it switches back off. So I updated to see if that would help but even after I'm still having the same issues. Would anyone know how I could fix this? [20:14] So for my encfs question: why can I only mount it as root? [20:14] roasted: i'm glad i made my own rules 10 years ago for swap [20:14] nitzs: That... is already a reason for me to stay away from it -- I don't like Python. [20:14] tarzeau: GB? MB... [20:14] roasted: when i say GB, i mean GB === CloudLogan is now known as quetzal [20:15] tarzeau: I'm a little confused. Is this box running 256 GB of RAM? [20:15] lunix hibernates to swap? [20:15] sounds wrong [20:15] Daghdha: Nope, it's correct. [20:15] theadmin: 'apt-get source ' should get the source of anything that's in the repos :) [20:16] Hi. Does anyone know if there is a way to wrap Windows video drivers for Ubuntu? The native drivers for my chip are quite poor. Thanks [20:16] Shact: what chip? [20:16] roasted: yes [20:16] 1 sec [20:16] wylde: Anything open-source that's in the repos. Besides that'd mean I have to set up a Ubuntu VM just to get the source? Fail much. [20:17] Daghdha: http://truejournals.com/2009/10/13/suspend-vs-hibernate/ [20:17] wylde: Anyway, this is getting somewhat offtopic so whatever. This channel is for support issues. [20:17] tarzeau: I suppose it depends what you're doing. I would never match swap on a server. Who hibernates a server? On the flip side, my home desktop I treat differently. [20:17] roasted; 915GM/GMS/910GML [20:17] Shact: that's an older intel chip, no? [20:17] roasted: it's not a server, it's just a workstation [20:17] Intel [20:17] roasted; yes it is [20:17] tarzeau: a work station with 256 GB of RAM? [20:17] What happens at 7000$? [20:17] roasted: yes, 48 cores and some tb diskspace [20:17] tarzeau: that's quite a work station. [20:17] is there a "encfs" channel? [20:17] roasted: one among many [20:18] tarzeau: Is it made in Sparta by any chance? Don't answer that, just making a joke. [20:18] tarzeau: match swap to whever you desire (as you seem you already do). Typically for home users, matching swap is the most logical way to go in case they do end up hibernating. [20:18] whatever* [20:18] floogy: ...Do you mean ecryptfs? I don't think there is such a thing as "encfs". [20:18] roasted: i'm glad if it just works and i don't have to kick..err..touch it to work properly again [20:18] floogy: Nevermind, there is. [20:19] thno I meant encfs [20:19] hi [20:19] Ooops s/thno/theadmin/ [20:19] i wish linux would fix the problems unix already have. OOM sucks. and i should spend some time trying plan9 once again [20:19] Fyodorovna: Is ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso the live cd? I don't understand the difference between that install cd and the live cd, if any. [20:19] instead of sticking with linux. or gnu/hurd [20:19] !ot | tarzeau [20:19] can someone give me the link for the write to disk so i can re-burn ubuntu from windows..i lost my disk and cant find that program...right click, burn to disk [20:19] tarzeau: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:19] do you just mean live cd == botable cd? [20:19] have had, 10 years ago [20:19] *bootable [20:20] roasted: Not really -- the only thing you need to care for is that swap is as big as the RAM currently in use. When on Earth would 256 gigs of ram ever be in use? Almost never. [20:20] theadmin: haha, if you know how many OOMs we have per week and month [20:20] theadmin: good point. [20:20] tarzeau: Really? Wow. [20:20] narsil4, if you decide to run the scrip[t the file name has changed you would download it put it on your desktop and run this command. sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript [20:20] theadmin: unless you're virtualizing a ton of crap and for, some reason, want them along with the hibernation [20:20] theadmin: oh there's a bunch of horribly written software, leaking like hell [20:21] theadmin: i still have a lot of respect for nextstep and openstep [20:21] narsil4, after extracting to the desktop that is. [20:21] tarzeau, roasted, guys, ot [20:21] roasted; any thoughts on the driver wrapper? So far the only thing that can run video well on my laptop is XP and I've never liked XP [20:21] tarzeau: Don't use horribly written software then? [20:21] hello [20:21] Shact: that intel card is kind of a dead end. It's really old. I've used it even with XP and I still thought it sucked. :( [20:21] Shact: you're pretty much stuck [20:21] is this a help chan ? === Guest71268 is now known as [Toto] [20:22] yes [20:22] theadmin: oh, i am just an administrator, avoiding such software completely, it's the users i am to support [20:22] <[Toto]> ok [20:22] Shact: hate to throw the "SOL" card your way but when hardware is your limitation, software can only go so far. [20:22] nvm i found it...iso recorder :P [20:22] Aw [20:22] What's SOL mean? [20:22] uh yeah, google that one :P [20:22] check urban dictionary [20:22] :) [20:22] I'd likely get banned again if I'd repeat it, lol [20:22] Wait, but driver wrapping... that would work [20:23] kinda wierd. i look like an hour, decided to ask here.and pop! there it showd [20:23] I wouldn't know the slightest thing about that. All I remember is ndiswrapper for wrapping windows drivers to linux systems to work with certain chipsets. How it's done? I have no idea :( [20:23] @ Shact ^^^^ [20:23] <[Toto]> i can paste here one erro ?

Sounds like it's for wifi purposes only. [20:24] Yeah NDIS Wrapper was the model I was thinking of. Great tool (if it didn't need 200 instructions to configure). Hmm. Maybe I will try Solaris. I bet Sun wrote some drivers :) [20:24] [Toto]: building something against postgres? [20:24] <[Toto]> yes [20:25] Toto what is the part in spanish say ?

[20:44] kasii: but its no longer maintained, you won't get updates [20:44] !pastebin } narsil4 [20:44] Fyodorovna: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:44] !pastebin | narsil4 [20:44] narsil4: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [20:44] auronandace, so what to do [20:44] kasii: use a supported release [20:45] cd .. [20:45] whoops ... [20:45] narsil4, then give us the url of that paste [20:45] i don like them i told u that 10.10 was robust for me [20:46] kasii: 10.04 still has gnome2 [20:46] i don like them i told u that 10.10 was robust for me,aur [20:46] kasii: if its just unity you don't like then you could switch to xfce or kde or lxde [20:46] OK here is the output of bootinfoscript. Help, this hard drive doesn't boot! http://paste.ubuntu.com/944720/ [20:47] auronandace, what are these kde lxde xfce [20:47] kasii: desktop environments [20:47] auronandace, what are these kde lxde xfce [20:48] I've installed Firefox 11 into 10.04lts, but it has no Java plugin that I can find. [20:48] kasii: 10.10 uses gnome2, gnome2 is no longer supported in 11.10 and upwards [20:48] <[Toto]> !pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/944714/ [20:48] Something seems to be amiss with the US (at least) Ubuntu repos. Everything I mark for install comes up "unauthenticated" and they're slower than molassas [20:49] Yes, the repos aren't working right now. [20:49] auronandace, so my problem wont be solve until i have to the other version [20:50] kasii: if you stay on 10.10 we cannot support you [20:50] Menno: Thanks for the confirmation [20:51] auronandace, better to use windows microsoft rather u ubuntu if its tough and complicated i this manner [20:51] narsil4, I suspect you had gpt partitioning setup originally it is mentioned in the script, otherwise it looks good, use this script and post on the ubuntu forums while you wait here for help as well. I'm not sure on cleaning out any gpt remanents if that is what is needed. [20:51] kasii: use whatever you are comfortable with and gets the job done [20:51] I just installed Ubuntu 64-bit on a VMware virtual machine, and now it says "VMware Easy Install / PLEASE WAIT! VMware Tools is currently being installed on your system ...", then it did nothing for about 30 seconds, then some lines appeared and the last 2 say: " * Checkingbattery state..." and "/etc/rc.local: 16: /etc/rc.local: ./run_upgrader.sh: not found" [20:51] LOL... cause support from microsoft is this comprehensive and immediate across unsupported versions. [20:51] am I supposed to wait a long time? [20:52] now it hasn't done anything more for 4 minutes [20:52] is there a compatible hardware list for 3g dongles in linux (like the v4l does for capture devices)? [20:52] auronandace, cuz a small configuration you force to move to other version [20:52] kasii: you are not on a long term service release.

Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [20:54] 5 years is a long time in this industry [20:54] well thenk kasii, you are probably right... you should go back to windows, which is free of bugs. [20:54] chiliblue: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/device_reference.txt - this has instructions too so isn't quite a plain list, but I think it'll do -- there might be more, though. [20:54] Fyodorovna: thanks for info. what do you mean "had gpt partitioning setup originally"? I had selected the "use whole hard drive" option, does that match what it says? [20:54] kassi: 12.04 is pretty good. And it's LTS. [20:55] I've had no problems, other than a minor bug with setting blank passwords in keychains [20:55] which got fixed a week after i filde my bugreport [20:55] kasii: i haven't used unity (which became default since 11.04), i've always used xfce [20:56] !xubuntu | kasii [20:56] kasii: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME.

It looks like from the script that part of it remains, the ubuntu forums and some on here will know the drill to remove this data. I think this is the problem I'm just not familiar with gpt and how to wipe it. [20:56] kasii: I am not sure how you meant that, but I agree. [20:56] :) [20:57] narsil4, here is a wiki on gpt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [20:57] L3tops, you habe to be wise and respect yourself as i did to you [20:57] Hi, I learned that Instagram and foursquare use ubuntu server. I wondered about the advantages of ubuntu (in comparison to debian) [20:58] pyxorg: think, newer packages but less stable. (ubuntu on servers seems silly to me) [20:58] main advantage of Ubuntu for me is that it works more easily with modern hardware [20:58] in an environment the size of Instagram or foursquare, I would run Debian [20:58] kasii: I didn't show you any disrespect, and if you choose to be offended at my sarcasm concerning Windows, then that is on you. A wise man does not expect the world to change to suit him. [20:59] L3tops, you have to be wise and respect yourself as i did to you [20:59] pyxorg, there are many many differences to many to list but some of the key things are landscape which is nice [20:59] kasii: I didn't show you any disrespect, and if you choose to be offended at my sarcasm concerning Windows, then that is on you. A wise man does not expect the world to change to suit him. [20:59] L3tops: A lot of people sure hate upgrading Ubuntu just because they don't realise how to turn Unity off [20:59] I understand that. [20:59] 1004 is still supported was my meaning. [20:59] Yeah [21:00] Menno: so true [21:00] In 2015, those people will need to figure out how to turn off Unity [21:00] Menno, a lot of people is a vague generalization. [21:00] or whatever the latest-and-greatest WM is then. [21:00] Every single person I know who won't upgrade. :-) [21:00] (every person I know IRL that is) [21:00] You cannot expect support when support is defined from beginning to end, and then "threaten" to switch OSs because support no longer exists for the version you like. [21:00] its goofy. [21:00] any idea what the issue could be if I can login via terminal but not graphical? keeps going right back to login screen [21:00] thank you zykotick9 and bobweaver [21:00] L3tops, how can you tell me this" well thenk kasii, you are probably right... you should go back to windows, which is free of bugs."

[21:09] http://www.rodd.us/profile.txt [21:09] depending on the number of inputs you have, you may not be able to see all of alsamixer kasii. What you want to do is use the left and right buttons to navigate around, and if your mike has an M or MM at the bottom, press the letter m and it will unmute. press up to raise the input volume of the mic if found. [21:09] J2: Can you be more specific? [21:09] Ok, i go over to the power menu [21:10] barefoot: I have the drivers, I just don't know how to use them. I have a realtek rtl8192ce wireless driver [21:10] (This is 11.10 Oneric) [21:10] and press Displays [21:10] to turn on my other monitor [21:10] shows git branch, shows current time, and shows return code of last command [21:10] Menno: yeah I like that [21:10] all those functions are a tad slow, though [21:10] and everything glitches, and i have black and wqhite glitch, and the entire screenis just like all messed up [21:10] I'd be better off if I rolled it all into 1 C program. [21:10] hehe i bet [21:10] it runs fine on a real Unix, but takes 1/3 second or so on Cygwin. [21:11] if i install the 12.04 LTS beta will it become the latest stable version after updates (when it is available) or will I have to upgrade the whole thing ?

[21:13] ok, that explains it, so I shouldn't be suprised that my usb 3g dongle is showing up then [21:14] your* [21:14] You mean this? realtek rtl8192ce wireless driver [21:14] Sorry, I am a total noob at this. [21:15] Trevis, it is ok . open terminal and type in | sudo lshw -C networking | then use paste.ubuntu.com to paste that to us [21:16] @bobweaver The problem with that is, I am on Windows. Since I can't get internet on Ubuntu, what should I do? [21:16] ahh I see [21:16] Menno, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:16] in regards to PXE booting, what does "boot=casper" indicate? [21:16] ok you are sure that that is your wireless card ? [21:16] i apologize [21:16] wrong paste [21:17] so... how do I update grub to add an os on another drive? Or is it something I should specify during install of that (ubuntu) os? [21:17] J2: I have it on an hourly cron :) [21:17] http://db.tt/74Qr0uUo [21:17] Yes. I looked it up, and E-Mailed Realtek about it, and they gave me the .deb drivers [21:17] L3: hang on [21:17] Thats what i meant to post, Menno [21:17] byteman casper is like ghost... in that it is an image file which you will be booting to [21:17] go to /etc/grub.d and copy 40_custom to 41_custom, and put your stiff in 41_cusom [21:18] ty menno [21:18] I have a unique Xp setup on my machine [21:18] menuentry "Windows XP (NTLDR) (on /dev/sda1)" --class windows --class os { [21:18] and then stuff goes after that [21:18] the files there are fairly self-documenting. [21:18] Trevis, you use dpkg to install .deb packages like this sudo dpkg -i [21:18] I have a problem with networking setup,running server 11.10 - I have 2 NICs one is web facing static IP 74.116.186.178, second is lan facing address static 192.168.30.30. If I enable the second NIC I cannot send or receive on either network. What am I missing? [21:18] Trevis, also take a look at post #2 if you do not have .deb http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1685425 [21:19] Alright, thank you! =) [21:20] What are the risks associated with moving an NTFS partition in GParted without defragmenting it first, if any? [21:20] zizoo: None. [21:21] Thanks Menno. [21:21] Well I sholdn't say none [21:21] but I've done it plenty of times [21:21] Mm? [21:21] if it's a straight move (no resize), the risk is especially low [21:21] zizoo: always keep a backup [21:21] And a backup of the backup. [21:22] L3tops, waiting for u [21:22] Oh, yes, actually, I should've said that more plainly for certain. I intend to shrink it dramatically. And thank you auronandace. Will do. It's just a pain restoring back-ups, IMO, so I try to avoid messing anything up to begin with. [21:22] Waiting for me to do what? You said you were going to paste a screenshot [21:22] L3tops, http://imagebin.org/209572 [21:22] It is currently over 250 GB, but I want it to be closer to 100 GB. [21:22] wow...

Anything I need to do? [21:25] +1 auronandace [21:25] i connected as user on my system i forgot my root password [21:25] how to run root command ? [21:25] L3tops, that pastebinit is for me [21:25] Yes. I am not sure why I am doing this at all frankly. I just thought he should check alsamixer for a possibly easy unmute. [21:26] !root | azert [21:26] azert: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [21:26] L3tops, that pastebinit is for me === J2|QK is now known as J2 [21:27] kasii: Your hardware may not even be supportable. Try 1204, or if you just can't stand it, go back to 1004. You are on a version in which you cannot receive updates. [21:27] Weird, GParted auto-quit when it came to the "real resize" part of the task. It doesn't say why in the report. It just has a warning prompt saying that only dangerous operations are left, asking if I want to proceed, then "OK quitting. NO CHANGES WERE MADE...." [21:28] I just got a new video card (FireMV2250) and i now do have a dual screen but seem to have lost the ability to do transparency any hints ? [21:28] zizool try running chkdsk /f from real Windows? [21:28] L3tops, how do u know that [21:28] i can't see anything related with forgot sudo password on that link auronandace [21:29] azert: your sudo password is your normal user password [21:29] azert: root doesn't have a password by default on ubuntu (and we don't recommend setting one) [21:29] Ok, logging off. See you soon maybe. If not, thanks a bunch. :P [21:30] voila, that's what i forgot the normal user password [21:30] how do I know you cannot get updates? Because it is, and always has been, explicitly stated when support would end for your release. I don't know if your hardware can be supported, but it is not my job to support it. I, again, am just a user, and you do not behave in a manner which makes me inclined to waste a long time trying to help you. I am busy now. Google is going to be where you find your answer on your hardware on your [21:30] unsupported version. [21:30] L3tops, how do u know that [21:30] I am afk. [21:31] L3tops: You, sir, are a man of longsuffering. [21:31] afk whats that [21:31] (Or a woman) [21:31] kasii, just go upgrade to a supported Ubuntu release. [21:31] kasii: afk = away from keyboard [21:32] Menno, from 10.10 to 10.04 is it upgrade or downgrade [21:32] !downgrade | kasii [21:32] kasii: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [21:33] kasii: you would need to fresh install [21:34] kasii: or you could just bit the bullet now and recognise that gnome2 is not going to be around much longer so find an alternative [21:34] bite [21:36] kasii, if you like gnome 2 .. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/ [21:36] This is a major bummer. [21:36] This package has a hard dependency on libnl1 [21:36] libnl1 exists in precise, but libnl1-dev does not. [21:39] Is anybody here that uses Ubuntu Server? I set it up and installed Lamp when I did, but I can't find the directory that it set up. [21:39] I just ordered a 32 GB USB drive. I want to be able to use the entire thing to boot one or more linux distros (ubuntu for starters). Is there a way I can format it in ext# to alow me to use the whole thing for linux?

[21:46] I know, I just got really excited to set everything up as soon as I could. [21:46] hello [21:47] Buduk: It's tempting but it requires the ghost loop partition and a lot of messing. Ideally I would love to have grub load when the drive is connected and give me the option of several OSs and a couple recovery disks, kind of like a swiss-army-USB-drive without being FAT-crippled.

[22:10] At least that battery friendly [22:11] Yeah but mate is unstable [22:11] I think its gotten better though [22:11] My mate is pretty unstable too. I find alcohol helps. [22:11] What is the consensus with ubuntu 11? This is my first time using it. Seems like a Mac clone (for good or bad).

I did not like mac computers, or windows. I switched from them about 5 years ago. When 11.04 came out and had Unity wrapped into just about everything. i was forced to revert back to 10.04 LTS due to how much I hated the way that unity was. [22:14] myself this weekend i am redoing the computer installs and replacing ubuntu with mint [22:14] narsil4: I love ubuntu 12.04 with unity, its real smooth [22:15] Did ya ever tryed to enable compiz on mate ? Its impossible with amd hadware [22:15] i too love ubuntu 12.04 [22:15] I have no love for macs, though I do use one regularly and like a few things like expose with hot corners. Does unity have that? [22:15] e131, how's the stability of 12.04? [22:16] j2: for me, it is really stable [22:16] j2: more stable than any other release [22:16] I found a bug with a package in ubuntu with its start up script, i made a new file in /etc/init.d/mcollective that works, but on boot and with "service mcollective start" it still uses another source, it seems - any idea how to proceed with this? [22:16] Hmm...Can i update to it from 11.10? [22:16] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1963514 <--- can anyone help with this? its making me crazy and I really really need a phone. [22:16] j2: im not sure, I just installed mine in a different partition [22:16] Actually ubuntu 11 is not really a mac clone; it's more like a fusion of mac and windows 7.

I have it triggered on a hot corner.

[22:21] KristianDK: #ubuntu-server [22:21] thanks ;) [22:21] Lion make you mac look like an ipad [22:22] But dashboard goes back to at least Leopard. Are we talking about the same thing? [22:23] im not sure, never used a mac, but I thought i heard that the dash was only ubuntu until lion [22:23] The thing where the whole screen is darkened a little and you select tiny apps like dictionary, etc?

[23:26] the help site is not super helpful. it says If your usb device doesn't appear on your desktop, you should check that your user has the correct privileges. Go to System->Administration->User and Groups, choose the user, click on "Properties", then go to the "User Privileges" tab. You should have the "Access external storage devices automatically" option checked. [23:26] I wonder what the terminal equivalent of the gui is? [23:26] I thought it would be joining a group?

[23:55] ok [23:55] and of course, do the headers first [23:55] and then the image [23:55] well I thought I did the headers first [23:55] oh [23:55] Is there a command to list the names of all the computers on a network? [23:56] well, i have to admit, i dont do this very often, as i am a main user of gentoo, so i dont usually use dpkg. however, since i suffered a regression in my Lubuntu, i have had to upgrade the kernel to fix it. but i usually compile my own kernel [23:56] e131: a ping sweep can do something like that.

[23:58] ardian try header all.deb [23:58] i dont think so, however you should be able to install the kernel the same way you were trying to today [23:58] thanks bennlucky [23:58] i just remembered something [23:58] thats the one! [23:58] lol [23:58] christhisisgool: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
