[00:00] three18ti: http://pastebin.com/XEwZUK74 [00:00] thx. [00:00] the wireless adapters don't show up when running ubuntu in virtualbox :/ [00:00] NastyNaz: Ongoing, I use it to control lights, but I also have a complicated script that uses X10 to reboot the cablemodem when I lose internet. I have a big halloween display I use it for [00:00] jetole, you should use paste.ubuntu.com too many ads on pastebin. [00:00] three18ti: if I use aptitude, the first suggestion is it wants to keep packages as is and not install the program I asked for. The next suggestion is downgrading packages which just seems wrong [00:01] timetunr: the hardwareis virtualized, so it won't show as a wireless adapter [00:01] three18ti: oh I use adblocker so I didn't even know they were there [00:01] it doesn't show up at all though [00:01] how can I access it? [00:01] ;) me too, until someone else told me the same. [00:01] three18ti: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070306/ [00:01] timetunr: it won't. Unless you have usb support properly installed and it's a usb wireless device. [00:01] !aptitude | jetole [00:01] jetole: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [00:02] I have one usb wireless adapter and one pci [00:02] so I should attach the usb and it will show up? [00:02] BluesKaj: How does multi architecture apply to this? [00:02] dj_segfault: how does it identify individual house lights? Do they need special x10 adaptors? [00:02] timetunr: you will need the closed source virtualbox for raw usb access [00:02] timetunr: I'd ask in #vbox [00:02] timetunr: if you have install the vbox extension pack and enabled a usb filter in settings yes. [00:02] installed* [00:03] jetole, did you yo do an `apt-get install -f libgtk-3-dev` or `apt-get install -f` [00:03] cool thanks [00:03] wubi is downloading amd64 version of ubuntu and I am pretty sure I need i386, what do i do?? [00:03] meh, -f won't fix your dependency problem [00:03] NastyNaz: Each wall plug has rotary switches to set a house code and a unit code. [00:03] three18ti: oh I did `apt-get install -f libgtk-3-dev`. should I do it without the package name? [00:04] bz: Any input on what will? [00:04] jetole: you tried aptitude, right? [00:04] bz, it won't? [00:04] three18ti: apt-get will need sufo [00:04] *sudo [00:04] jetole: just 'sudo apt-get -f install' [00:04] bz. aptitude first suggestion was not installing the package I want and leaving the system as is. The second suggestion was downgrading installed packages which sounds like the wrong answer to me [00:05] jetole: you'll need to downgrade [00:05] Can someone suggest me an Audio Broadcaster for Ubuntu? Something like SAM Broadcaster... [00:05] jetole: because apparently the libgtk-dev you want depends on those older packages [00:05] anybody know how to tell? ^^ [00:05] bz: can you explain why I should downgrade? [00:05] er [00:05] jetole: are you in the middle of upgrading across distros? [00:05] also one more thing. is it worth looking into vmware or will closed source virtualbox suffice in terms of reliability and performance === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [00:05] bz: This was a fresh install. Reformat, new lvm2 vg's and lv's, etc etc [00:05] jetole, listen to bz. [00:06] I plan to be running this machine for a very long time [00:06] virtual machine^ [00:06] three18ti: will do. btw, thanks for the help so far [00:06] is there any reason why wubi is downloading the wrong version [00:06] jetole: which release is this? lemme check through the dependencies [00:06] timetunr, make yourself clear. Know the difference between vbox and vmware.. Vmware is the non-free one. [00:06] jetole, he's right, -f is to 'fix broken packages', I misread your error. [00:06] right [00:07] bz: this is 12.04 alternative however I have added some PPA's too for example one for nvidia driver, medibuntu, etc [00:07] someone help a noob out [00:07] three18ti: it's ok. I still appreciate the help [00:07] is it worth looking into paying for vmware or is virtualbox considered good enough for a long running virtual machine [00:07] timetunr, you should look into kvm as it is open source and included in the repos. [00:07] Athleek123: it will do that [00:07] timetunr, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Main_Page [00:07] bz: I don't know if the other ppa's may have affected this [00:07] purpleDrank it will download amd64 version instead of i386? [00:07] Athleek123: I have an intel p4 64bit and it downloaded the amd64 pacakge and installed fine [00:07] what do i need to do to get the ubuntu livecd to boot into uefi mode on this macbook? doing a normal boot results in "efibootmgr" saying it cannot see efi variables, and "sudo modprobe efivars" doesn't work [00:07] purpleDrank oh so I shouldn't worry? [00:07] timetunr, install the real thing [00:08] i didnt [00:08] ran fine [00:08] jetole, no problem, didn't really do much ;) [00:08] thanks! :D [00:08] * purpleDrank nods. [00:08] jagginess, what "the real thing"? [00:08] three18ti, install ubuntu "natively" [00:08] jetole: do you have aptitude holding any packages back? if not, then: aptitude keep-all [00:08] three18ti: you paid attention and offered support. That counts ;-) [00:08] bz: aptitude output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070311/ [00:09] !mac | Doomhammer [00:09] Doomhammer: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [00:09] yeah i would dual boot but I really need to have access to both machines at the same time [00:09] wow, fast [00:09] jagginess, ++ [00:09] Doomhammer: Why do you want to boot via EFI? It's generally recommended to boot via Apple's BIOS implementation instead. [00:09] bz: I ran `dpkg --get-selections | grep hold` and I didn't see anything placed on hold. Is there an alternative way to check specific to aptitude? [00:10] Jordan_U: i'm hoping to use GRUB2 to boot ubuntu/osx, and i'm under the impression i need to boot in uefi mode for "grub2-install" to work correctly [00:11] jetole: you could just open up aptitude's gui, hit 'g', then check if you've scheduled anything (besides libgtk-dev) to be installed or upgraded [00:11] jetole: it doesn't seem to be the case, anyway [00:11] if I am following http://www.danbishop.org/2012/06/02/ubuntu-12-04-ultimate-server-guide-first-draft/3/, where does the ldap configuration file "frontend.danbishop.org.ldif" go? in /etc/ldap/frontend.danbishop.org.ldif ? [00:11] bz: aptitude has a gui? how do I launch it? [00:12] HelloWorld321, ldap is a professional level question. I think nobody here uses it. (So you're much in the wrong forum for this) [00:12] jetole: aptitude [00:12] jetole: no args, prepend with sudo if needed [00:12] bz: oh wow. didn't know that was there [00:12] jetole: anyway [00:12] jetole, synaptic [00:13] HelloWorld321: #ubuntu-server may get more responses to that question. [00:13] jetole: aptitude show libgtk-3-dev [00:13] bz: I see i386 packages to be installed [00:13] wylde: tx [00:13] jetole: hitting 'q' closes windows or closes aptitude if no windows are left [00:13] jetole, gui usually means "X" graphics.. yes aptitude also has an interface (but it's textual and not as easy as synaptic) [00:14] bz: yeah this is a 64 bit install and it has i386 packages listed as "to be installed" [00:14] jetole: i think you're installing the wrong libgtk-3-dev, prolly one from your other non-main repos [00:14] jagginess: yeah I get it but I didn't know aptitude had an ncurses display [00:14] Plis, can someone suggest me an Audio Broadcaster for Ubuntu? Something like SAM Broadcaster... [00:14] jetole: if you check here, http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/libgtk-3-dev you'll see that it depends on version 3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3 of git1.2-gtk-3.0 [00:14] jetole: whereas the one you're about to install depends on 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 [00:15] bz: these i386 packages, how can I remove them from to be installed? [00:15] jetole: yeah, just hit f10, then hit 'f' [00:15] jetole, most what you see in console is ncurses.. (even if there's no textual/gui like interface) [00:15] jetole: that's equivalent to aptitude keep-all anyway [00:15] bz: I'm also using wikimedia as my pkg provider. It may not have the up to date package I'm thinking [00:16] Thales: have you tried something like, say .... 'apt-cache search audio broadcast' ? [00:16] jagginess: ok. I get the point. My point is I didn't realize aptitude had that gui that I saw [00:16] wylde, yeap [00:16] jetole: ye, so the quickest most hackish way i can think of is to download http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/g/gtk+3.0/libgtk-3-dev_3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb [00:16] then dpkg -i [00:16] jetole: then maybe dpkg -i libgtk-3-dev_3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb [00:16] ? [00:16] jetole: ye, then use aptitude or apt-get to resolve your broken deps [00:16] bz: right. Ok. Let me see [00:17] jetole, lol.. you don't get it.. When you say "graphics" you can't refer to console.. (you probably want to read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface) -- acronym is TUI [00:17] bz, this is where you'd use apt-get -f to install the missing dependencies right? (after the dpkg -i fails I mean) [00:17] jetole, because you confused me as to what you're asking when you say "GUI". It's not text.. [00:17] three18ti: ye [00:17] bz, ok, I was just a few steps ahead of myself. thanks., [00:18] three18ti: :> [00:18] jagginess: when I was told it was a gui I assumed it was a X app he was referring to. Actually someone else said gui to me [00:18] jagginess: and it doesn't matter anymore anyways. We're kind of beating a dead horse here [00:18] yes thats fine.. but just saying.. GUI means graphics.. it only confuses people.. [00:18] (and correct them) [00:19] bz: wget http://mirror.pnl.gov/ubuntu//pool/main/g/gtk+3.0/libgtk-3-dev_3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./libgtk-3-dev_3.4.2-0ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb; sudo apt-get -f install [00:20] ActionParsnip: thanks? [00:20] jetole, well now you know.. synaptic is for gui, aptitude is in console.. not rocket science.. (people prefer synaptic than aptitude btw) [00:20] jagginess: aptitude has an ncurses gui, runs in terminal though.. [00:21] don't use aptitude with 12.04 - it doesn't do multiarch [00:21] bz: yeah I just did a little research before I did the install and `apt-cache showpkg libgtk-3-dev` is showing version 3.4.1-0ubuntu1 from ubuntu.wikimedia.org. I'm honestly surprised wikimedia has a old package there. I expected better from them [00:21] zykotick9: ahhh, didn't know that (2nd new thing learned today) [00:22] jagginess: neat. Yeah I'm a console guy. I work with servers often anyways and I'm kind of stuck on apt-get even though I understand aptitude should be prefered but it's been hard to migrate [00:22] zykotick9: did you know in precise, the users who can use sudo are not in the 'admin' group now? [00:22] jetole: btw, when you get aptitude to fix your dep, make sure you don't select the solution that uninstalls the libgtk-3-dev you just installed [00:22] ActionParsnip: ya - sudo ;) [00:22] jetole: that would be...ironic. [00:22] jetole, in debian it is, but on ubuntu it doesnt look like aptitude is preferred over apt-get yet [00:23] zykotick9: yeah, weird huh [00:23] bz: I downloaded the .deb you mentioned but since I have updated my repos within the last hour and cleaned the cache and still showing an old pkg from mediawiki, I am considering changing pkg providers [00:23] jagginess: oh cool then [00:23] jetole, you mean repositories? don't mix them with other distros [00:23] jetole: don't need to. just install the one you downloaded; it'll supercede the one from mediawiki [00:23] Arr it would appear there is just a bug with ubuntu USB boot, i tried all sort of way to make the usb boot disk, then i tried it on a diffrent usb device with a dd from the problem one [00:23] now aptitude shows packages to be installed that I don't want. How can I remove those? [00:23] jetole, ? [00:23] jetole: which pkgs? [00:24] bz: yes but I want to fix this problem in the future i.e. not have it be a re-occuring issue [00:24] jetole, you mixing repos across distros? you shouldn't do that [00:24] jetole: then don't mix and match as these other guys have been reciting [00:24] hi there, 10.04 on some notebook (MSI Wind U100), after connecting an external successfully (which wasn't he first time), some bug : [00:25] can anyone tell me which # i should go to for server advice? [00:25] bz: they are 4 packages with :i386 in the name on a 64 bit system. 3 were part of w32codecs that I installed from medibuntu. I have since purged all 4 but now it shows them to be installed again [00:25] it appears that the usb boot will not work from mmc usb interface =) [00:25] basically, if the external screen is *not* connected, the internal screen is rotated *and* the following other bug (unrelated I assume) happens, making it impossible to restore the situation [00:25] thorght i was just going mad [00:25] !Nick [00:25] Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [00:25] Guest20217: #ubuntu-server exists [00:25] jetole, dont get confused with multiarch.. if you see i386 with your amd64 linux you'll be fine. [00:25] Guest20217: or you can ask here too === mackmoney3000 is now known as register [00:25] [...] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576311 [00:25] hahaha [00:25] Launchpad bug 576311 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[i915gm] Rotated screen very slow to update" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:25] I am not mixing repos across distros or at least if I understand you properly I am not. mediawiki is a mirror of ubuntu but ubuntu had a outage on their servers last night so I selected a mirror [00:25] jetole, you're not acquainted enough what multiarch is and is confusing to new users (that's why i mentioned synaptic) [00:25] caravel: tried unity2D? === register is now known as mackmoney3000 [00:26] jetole: ah, so it's an official mirror? [00:26] jagginess: but I don't want these packages installed anymore at all anyways. [00:26] bz: yes [00:26] ActionParsnip: that's UNR, iirc [00:26] jetole, apt-cache policy also shows the repository source [00:26] jetole: time to switch, maybe [00:26] caravel: no, UNR doesn't exist === Guest20217 is now known as T__0 [00:26] well... I don't know what coins the term official. synaptic set it from selecting the fastest [00:26] bz: yes [00:26] caravel: Unity is the default shell in Ubuntu 12.04, you can use the 2D session and it doesn't use compiz. May help [00:26] bz: exactly what I meant. If the mirror has old packages I don't want this happening in the future [00:27] ActionParsnip: like I said, this is 10.04 still [00:27] and I've used anl.gov in the past [00:27] argonne national labs if I recall correctly [00:27] AFAIK, 10.04 isn't dead... yet [00:27] caravel: no it's not [00:27] caravel, it is now. bang bang [00:27] Ubuntu 12.04 - I'm having issue with NetworkManager not starting during boot. Works find if I run "start network-manager". where is this enabled during boot? "upstart" is a real pain [00:27] jagginess: lol [00:27] jagginess: no, it is not. [00:27] :) [00:28] caravel: tried not using compiz? [00:28] so... [00:28] anyway, that PC is 1000 miles away physically, and I won't do any such massive change over ssh [00:28] * jetole sets anl as the mirror, will do an update and try from apt-get again [00:28] hence I did stick to LTS [00:28] caravel: tried Precise to see if its better there, newer drivers and kernel and Xorg may help [00:28] caravel: 12.04 is LTS [00:29] ActionParsnip: you missread me I thnk :) [00:29] caravel: if its miles away, obviously screen updates will be slow [00:29] ActionParsnip: the reason why 10.04 is LTS until 2013 is precisely so that people can organize migration [00:29] ActionParsnip: of course, there is a user on front of the PC [00:29] *in front of [00:30] anyway [00:30] caravel: you never mentioned that.... [00:30] h [00:30] i [00:30] hi :) [00:30] caravel: could install LXDE, see if it's better [00:30] ActionParsnip: would I use X with external display over ssh ? :) [00:31] i'm trying to set up vnc over ssh [00:31] the ssh part is working but when i try to display the desktop it says : [00:31] http://pastebin.com/hLrTsHJu [00:31] gre_nouille your qustion being?... [00:31] ActionParsnip: no, I cannot do that. such solution is entirely overkill. De worked absolutely great until now. All I want here is to know if this is a known issue and restore functionality [00:31] MonkeyDust, http://pastebin.com/hLrTsHJu [00:31] bz, jagginess: changing the mirror seems to have worked [00:31] gre_nouille what's getpt? [00:32] Anyone besides me have a problem with Skype for Linux when compared to the Windows version? The Windows version is so much nicer looking. Jeez. [00:32] jetole: grats [00:32] I changed the mirrro, did a update and then ran apt-get install libgtk-3-dev and now it's installing [00:32] I don't know gnome config files, myself I am a KDE user hence am a bit lost. Where would be stored such persistent screen rotation prefs ? [00:32] bz, jagginess: thanks [00:33] MonkeyDust, it seems to be the file descriptor of a terminal [00:33] MonkeyDust, so i cannot open a terminal in the remote server [00:33] croz: Are you using 4.x [00:33] gre_nouille type !find getpt [00:33] jetole, that's not a runtime library.. you're developing something? [00:34] damn no [00:34] im using 2.2.0.35 [00:34] man i need help i uninstalled this nouveau driver and want to install propr nvidia drivers but now when i start no terminal just black screen hanging [00:34] caravel: could make a fresh user and log on, see if it's caused by settings. [00:34] !find getpt [00:34] File getpt found in alliance, freebsd-manpages, gnulib, manpages-dev, manpages-es, manpages-fr-dev, manpages-ja-dev, ri1.9.1 [00:34] jagginess: yeah I'm compiling gnubiff because the latest version which exceeds the repos has a fix for gtk3 issue which causes ugly icons in the taskbar so yeah, compiling gnubiff [00:34] caravel: installing another DE isn't overkill at all. It tests to see if the issue is with Gnome itself, or if it is the drivers and Xorg [00:35] croz: A new full-featured client was released about 2 months ago that brings Linux up to par. Check out the website [00:35] jagginess: I think anything that ends in -dev isn't a runtime library [00:35] ok checking it now woot! [00:35] thanks buddy [00:35] croz: NP [00:35] ActionParsnip: welcome screen is always good. User desktop is always good *if* external is connected, rotated if not. Only since connecting this external display today... [00:35] that doesn't help much :( [00:35] or any idea how to enable write access for the root console in recovery mode [00:36] gre_nouille what do you want to do with getpt? [00:36] ActionParsnip: it's not even an option. User won't take the change (old person). Right now the external display has to remain plugged, full stop, until I can fix the uissue [00:36] every time i try and install the nvidia drivers from there it says cant mkdir read only filsystem [00:36] jetole, -dev is development source files.. [00:37] jetole, "apt-get -f install" [00:37] dj_segfault: I installed it. It's a lot better than the one I had, but the Windows version is still much prettier. [00:37] why is it when i reboot none of my network interfaces show up untill i plug my phone in and turn usb teathering on? thats how i installed the system but will it stay like that or does anyone know how to fix it? [00:37] jetole, did you really mix repos? y/n .. sounds like you're doing things you dont know what you're doing [00:37] jagginess: why would I use -f now? [00:37] jagginess: no [00:38] ActionParsnip: since welcome screen is always fine still, I can't imagine it would be X. Could it be ? [00:38] jagginess: I think you misunderstood some stuff then [00:38] caravel: try a new user, it may be ok with default gnome configs. Just to test [00:38] no I did not mix repos [00:38] jetole, you can use -f anytime.. it tries to look for unfinished installs [00:38] can someone please help me figure this out... [00:38] well, I didn't use a repo from from different ubuntu versions [00:38] MonkeyDust, no idea [00:38] ActionParsnip: well, won't be fun remote but will do. Next, what if indeed new user profile is good ? [00:38] I changed my repo to an official mirror is all [00:38] caravel: sure, sudo adduser testname [00:39] gre_nouille what were you doing, when this getpt error occured? [00:39] jagginess: and that change was done through synaptic finding the fastest repo for my locale [00:39] caravel: then just have him/her log in as the new user. [00:39] jetole, -dev is not for runtime.. you didnt know this.. That's why i say you dont know what youre doing by simply installing it [00:39] ActionParsnip: I know :) Testing won't be fun [00:39] ActionParsnip: and migrate the whole profile ? [00:39] jagginess: yes I did know that. I explained why I needed it and then I told you I don't think any -dev pkg is ever for runtime [00:39] jagginess: I think you're a little confused here [00:39] jetole, i'm asking what you need it for [00:39] to compile gnubiff [00:40] I mentioned that already [00:40] I've been trying to figure out how to get spice working in kvm (ubuntu 12.04 guest). I found out about 2 packages (spice-vdagent and qemu-kvm-spice) and a third (qemu-linaro) which may include those first two. I'm not certain if this is what I'm looking for though. I don't want to break my system. [00:40] * caravel us looking for assistance in fixing a hole in the roof, not buliding a new house next to the first one [00:40] jetole, apt-get install doesnt fix things necessarily.. [00:40] jagginess: that's why I don't install random packages [00:40] caravel: its only to test, nothing more. Can you quit the theatrics please [00:40] MonkeyDust, xvncviewer hostname:2 [00:40] :=) [00:40] I mentioned I needed the -dev package to compile a program [00:40] jetole, i gave you the command to check repository source for a package (see above) [00:40] gre_nouille so a remote connection, right? === sun_ is now known as Guest96634 [00:41] ActionParsnip: I'm asking, what would be next step ? I cannot do it right now, hence asking for next step [00:41] caravel: not sure, that's what I'd do [00:41] if indeed, as I expect, new profile is fine [00:41] MonkeyDust, yes [00:42] jagginess: yes however I already resolved which mirror was providing the package and verified that the mirror was not up to date so I resolved the issue by changing my mirror and doing an update then installing the proper package which I have a legitimate requirement for needing it and it's now installed and everything seems to be working. my problems are resolved and I don't understand where you're going with this conversation [00:42] caravel: then you will need to start removing configs from the standing profile so that default ones can be generated at login [00:42] ActionParsnip: isn't there precise setting for these anywhere ? [00:42] * chalcedony smiles [00:42] gre_nouille what version are you running? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man3/getpt.3.html [00:42] good to see you ActionParsnip :)) [00:43] jagginess: hence I think you may be a little confused at the moment. You have been helpful but I'm all set now. I was able to install the package I required and I require the package to compile a program [00:43] ActionParsnip: it just look like a basic geometry issue, badly remembered [00:43] jagginess: cool? [00:43] jetole, you should file a bug to report the improper working mirror that's what you should do actually.. [00:43] my friend has an IBM thinkpad t40 1500MHZ - with lubuntu - but he can't disable mouse gestures on it, is there some way to do it? [00:43] caravel: they are stored in the hidden folders in $HOME, it will take a long time to work out what is going on, better just to remove some then reboot, see if it's ok then you have isolated the problem folders [00:44] caravel: you may be able to use xrandr to set geometry [00:44] MonkeyDust, the server is ubuntu 12.04 [00:44] caravel: remember to run: export DISPLAY 0.0 [00:45] jagginess: I could. where do I file one? I switched to the mirror last night because ubuntu's official repos had outages. I was getting 404's on "Package" files when I did a update and when I tested it from a browser I found it was bouncing from 403 forbidden to 404 to 403 back and forth [00:45] ActionParsnip: :D that's right, xrandr is the tool to define. The bit I'm asking, I assume, is indeed under the home folder, within the gconf galaxy. My question is where should that be. I don't know is a good answer [00:45] :) [00:45] gre_nouille is the page I gave you useful? [00:45] anyway, thanks ActionParsnip ! [00:45] i installed ubuntu server 12.04 today via a usb stick and my cell phone usb teathered for the internet connection, everything went alright except now when i reboot, i have to attach my cell phone and turn on teathering before any of my network interfaces will show up, any idea as to how to fix this? any help would be great [00:45] caravel: not something I've had to mess with. I buy nvidia which has a nice gui app. [00:47] jetole, making a ppa account is free https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors [00:47] is jagginess a bot? [00:47] bz? Is jaggines a bot? [00:48] jetole: no idea [00:48] jetole, you asked me where.. The 'a team' link provides you to whom you can report a problem.. [00:48] hi for a ninth time. can anyone help me through using iptables to run a process on another interface [00:48] !ppa [00:48] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [00:48] jagginess: thanks for all of your help. bye. [00:49] i have tried online tutorials for they were not specifically for what i was doing and it usually meant all the interfaces dies [00:49] died* [00:49] (no ssh) [00:49] i'm trying to help my friend who is sick and having problems, he has an IBM thinkpad t40 1500MHZ - with lubuntu - but how can we disable mouse gestures on it? === Kartrohm_afk is now known as Kartrohm [00:50] he's even tried putting tape on the sensor [00:50] chalcedony: mouse gestures? [00:50] chalcedony: you mean the touchpad? [00:50] bz, let me ask him [00:52] MonkeyDust, no sorry :( [00:52] yeah. I am a nVidia User too, unfortunately. I've written extended reports about its external monitor handling and overlay mess with X, scripted stuff to monitor it closely its temperatures and VRAM. I know nVidia enough to call it noVideo and recommend absolutely NOT to use it under GNU/Linux :) But anyway, nice GUI is your freedom too. Good night ActionParsnip ! [00:52] bz, he said: "i wanna disable the thing from seeing my hand movement thru the sensor on the latop" [00:52] MonkeyDust, actually it's useful to understand the error [00:52] MonkeyDust, but i don't know how to correct it [00:52] bz "its able to see thru 2 layers of adhesive tape so its a strong sensor" [00:52] bz: aptitude is showing the following packages as "Packages to be installed": w32codecs, gcc-4.6-base:i386, libc6:i386 and libgcc1:i386. The three i386 packages were dependencies of w32codecs however I removed all 4 using `apt-get purge `. Can you tell me what it means that they are they, why they would be there and how I can remove them? [00:52] i bet he means touchpad [00:53] bz: please [00:53] bz, Ha! "its a light right beside the battery charging light, to the left" [00:53] gre_nouille if you know how to search something on the internet, look for 'getpt errors' or so [00:53] jetole, it's apt-get --purge remove [00:53] jetole, aptitude is depreciated, it cannot handle multi-arch very well [00:54] !aptitude [00:54] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and higher) as aptitude cannot currently handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. [00:54] caravel: in 11 years of Linux use, never had an issue [00:54] jagginess: `apt-get purge ` works as well [00:54] OerHeks, oh really :) .. I never use aptitude baby! :)) [00:54] hehe [00:54] OerHeks: so I have heard and I seldom use it. Should I ignore this? [00:54] ActionParsnip: very lucky, given the amount of bz reports everywhere, you should testify :) [00:54] how to debug/trace "upstart" boot hangs with "waiting for network config", eventually finishes w/out networking. found this to be because NetworkManager is *not* starting. Trying to understand/fix "upstart" but documentation is lacking. i've added "—verbose" to the boot cmdline and I see more "init:" messages in /var/log/kern.log, but how/why NetworkManager should start is not clear. bueller? [00:54] jetole: means that aptitude still thinks they're to be installed [00:54] jetole: aptitude => forget all [00:55] bz: so do I just... oh [00:55] * jetole looks [00:55] i don't care, i'm still free, you can't take my aptitude from me [00:55] caravel: I just let people shout, doesn't affect me [00:55] cs_yng did you read this http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [00:56] sorry bz, didn't mean to highlight your nick, but with such a nick on FLOSS chans you're looking for troubles :) [00:56] I neeed a good comand-line debugger. anyone know of one in the distro? [00:56] chalcedony: what kind of sensor are we talking about? [00:56] chalcedony: nsa monitoring device? [00:56] * jetole shrugs. bz I don't really use aptitude though I just heard tonight it's unreliable on multi-arch. I'm ok no longer using it but always worried when I see things "pending" or errors even in a command I don't use or seldom use [00:56] Saiki, #bash (There's a bash debugger i heard but the bash people may say something better) [00:56] chalcedony: i have a thinkpad t43, and i don't see any sensors near the leds [00:57] jetole, seems like you didnt fix your problem. You really should back up what you have before losing anything important.... [00:57] jetoile just run in terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and see if the problem comes back [00:57] bz, his is a t40 i'm trying to narrow his definition [00:57] jagginess: I did fix my problem. This is another one. [00:58] bz: sorry, is "forget all" a option in the aptitude gui or... I don't understand [00:58] jetole: aptitude forget-new [00:59] jetole, make sure you didnt set any packages on hold, (you'll have to 'unhold' them with some command) [00:59] bz: oh. thanks [00:59] jetole: regardless, this is only an issue if you use aptitude [00:59] jetole: because it keeps its own internal list of packages to be installed or removed [00:59] bz: yeah and I really don't but I don't like leaving things lingering. I only tried aptitude earlier to see if it offered a solution for the dependencies [01:00] jetole: ocd is good [01:00] bz: you just hit the nail on the head [01:01] forget-new didn't do it but maybe this is related to the multi-arch bug I heard about. Is there a way to reset the aptitude internal db to "factory defaults" as if I have never used aptitude? [01:01] @ bz [01:01] bz: btw, at OCD, yes you hit the nail on the head. spot on [01:01] apt-get --purge remove aptitude ? === hybrid_ is now known as hybrid [01:02] jetole: um, you ran forget-new as root, right? [01:02] jagginess: fyi "apt-get purge foo" is fine [01:02] bz: yes [01:04] jagginess: according to the apt-get man page, `apt-get remove --purge` is running `apt-get purge` instead of `apt-get remove`. "remove --purge is equivalent to the purge command" [01:04] jetole: are you able to paste something? maybe i'm understanding your problem wrong. [01:05] jagginess: I know older ubuntu, pre 10.04 didn't have a purge command and you had to use "remove --purge" but you can save yourself some typing now by just using `apt-get purge` [01:05] jetole, dunno i use other distros.. [01:06] bz: well it seems hard to copy and paste from inside the aptitude gui but I used the "g" command you mentioned when aptitude started and it lists those 4 packages as "Packages to be installed" [01:06] jetole, do you know what it means something is deprecated? [01:06] if anyone knows where I can post random pics on the net I can take a screen shot of it pretty quickly [01:06] OerHeks already said aptitude is deprecated [01:06] jagginess: old and planned to be removed [01:07] (close but not true.. it means you should avoid it) [01:07] bz i found its manual but still guessing about what sensor he's talking about:http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-46464 [01:08] jagginess: actually we're both right. An official deffinition is "past participle, past tense of dep·re·cate. verb: Express disapproval of. [01:08] jetole: then select each of them and hit "-" [01:08] bz: ok. Let me see [01:08] anyone? [01:09] getting spice going on kvm?? [01:09] bz, he says give up [01:09] jetole, deprecated means avoid in simple sense. So if i were you I'd avoid anything deprecated rather than try to still use it. [01:09] bz: that did the trick. Thank you [01:09] jagginess: what am I still using that is deprecated? [01:10] jetole, you're still back on problem#1 .. [01:10] that's why.. [01:10] jagginess: which is? [01:10] oh glad he quit [01:11] that guy was annoying the heck out of me [01:11] Question. I installed, and it went perfectly, then loaded the OS. Then i turned off the computer. Turned it on later, and, after the post, I get a black screen, with a blinking cursor. I can still load it through the Live cd, but, without it, i just get the cursor [01:11] bz: Is there any way to set aptitude back to a "factory reset" so it's like I've never used it? You mentioned it's internal db that is different from what the rest of the system uses [01:12] jetole: uninstall it [01:12] bz: and that's safe? [01:12] jetole: yes [01:12] MissVera: that happened to me yesterday. I restarted the computer and it ran fine [01:12] MissVera: if it's re-occurring though then I don't know what the problem is [01:12] jetole, I've restarted 9001 times. No luck [01:13] MissVera: you should have stopped after 3 or 4. lol [01:13] MissVera: kidding aside though, I don't know what to suggest on that one [01:13] jetole, I only exaggerated a little :x [01:14] bz: tasksel goes with it... then again, I'm doing a purge and can then re-install it which should act like a fresh install after [01:14] I want to keep it but just reset it so that seems fine === zz_megabitdragon is now known as megabitdragon [01:15] done and done. Everything seems back to normality again. bz, again, thank you for the help [01:16] bz: you didn't cure my OCD but you helped me cope with it ;-) === dark3n is now known as dark3n|off [01:16] can anybody help me?

[01:43] I am the owner of the file [01:43] kristenB: chmod +x [01:44] same [01:44] still remains rw [01:45] adding sudo chmod 700 doesn't change the problem === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [01:45] if I try with the nautilus interface, it doesn't work either. I try to select 'allow executing as a program' and it gets selected for 100ms or so and gets unselected automatically right away.

[01:50] kristenB, type "mount" in the terminal and make sure some other partition is not mounted in /home [01:50] kristenB, i.e. you are sure this is on the / filesystem? [01:50] hi all am asking u for some nb help am using a dns software called dnsmasq and am trying to use it as dynamic dns server for my router such as dyndns and i am a lan user when i set the settings in router it works on my pc but does not work on others can anybody help me ?? [01:50] I get this after aptitude dist-upgrade on 12.04 when trying to reboot: http://pastebin.com/WJ6TRrHJ - is this common? [01:51] CMO: Are you setting the router to pass out that DNS server to clients via DHCP? IF so, you may have to renew and release their leases. [01:51] one minute al check [01:51] no idea am using Thomson TG789vn === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [01:52] psusi: oh maybe that's it. Downloads is actually a link to another drive, which might be in ntfs since it was used by windows previously [01:52] kristenB, bingo [01:52] am trying to use it as dyndns server [01:52] psusi: how can I check what's the file system of a mount partition ? [01:53] is called Dynamic DNS Service [01:53] typically, if its not fat, i'll mount its partition [01:53] kristenB, df -T [01:54] CMO, im confused. what does dyndns have to do with dnsmasq? [01:54] Dynamic DNS can be used to point a fixed host name (e.g host.a-domain.com) to the public (or WAN) IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (typically a dynamic IP address). This allows servers located on your Local Network (configured using Game & Application Sharing) to be accessible using this alias rather than the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider. [01:54] CMO: so what you're saying is, you're trying to provide dyndns to other people/computers on the internet through your router? [01:54] the type is fuseblk. I don't know that. Is it a file system ? [01:54] am actully trying to set a dns server same as dyndns [01:54] kristenB, "user space filesystem driver" ie most likely NTFS [01:54] kristenB, that's typically what ntfs shows up as === aaass is now known as aaas [01:55] ive set Dynamic DNS service: custom [01:55] Can someone help? Whenever I download something and try and open it, it opens default with the Archive Manager, and I always get an error similar to this: http://pastebin.com/Jq4Z54cr [01:56] ok. So is it possible to change the filesystem without losing what's in the previous one ? [01:56] CMO, "a dns server same as dyndns" what does that mean? [01:57] am trying to control the dns in the local area network to be able to control the network requests [01:57] sparky_, it is assuming it is a self-extracting exe, but its not. so maybe install wine [01:57] without any spoofing [01:57] Wine? ok [01:57] CMO, what network's requests [01:57] !info wine | sparky_ [01:57] sparky_: wine (source: wine1.4): Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (meta-package). In component universe, is extra. Version 1.4-0ubuntu4 (precise), package size 0 kB, installed size 21 kB [01:57] http network requests [01:57] ok, I moved everything that was in the drive. There was not much. How can I change the filesystem to ext4 ? [01:58] kristenB, you would have to copy all the data to a new location and reformat [01:58] when pc connects to a website it asks the dns server the ip of the requested server [01:58] escott: the copy is done [01:58] escott: now how to reformat [01:58] kristenB, then gparted will provide a nice gui and let you reformat [01:59] I don't have gparted. Do you know how to do it with parted ? [01:59] CMO, yes. all you are describing is running a DNS on your LAN. is that all you want? [01:59] Hello [01:59] ?? [02:00] ?? [02:00] Can anybody tellme how to strech my wallpaper to my resolution settings? [02:00] kristenB, why not just install gparted? [02:01] kristenB, sure. just change the partition label and type. im not sure if parted cli will do the formatting for you. if it doesnt then you would need to mkfs.ext4 /dev/whatever [02:01] yepp it works and i went in to router control panel and set the dynamic dns server to my ip so when i requst eg. www.msn.com i get redirected to my hostname that is running a webserver but the problem is it only works on my machine and not others in lan [02:02] and it gives me the message IP address: 0.0.0.0 but the Hostname: 192.168.1.65 (Update needed) [02:02] CMO, you keep saying dynamic. and its not dynamic. this is a normal DNS you are describing. the other members of the LAN are not using that DNS they are using the DNS as proscribed by DHCP coming from your router. you need to make your router report the ip of your computer as the DNS or manually configure those machines to use that DNS [02:03] this is a dum question mate but whats the diffrense between dynamic and default dns server [02:03] and could i set up an dynamic dns server [02:05] CMO, dyndns is a service that attaches dns entries to computers that migrate. every time you connect you might get a different ip, but you send a message to then dyndns service provider and they update their entries so that your symbolic name whatever.dyndns.com points to your most recent location [02:05] CMO, thats not really an ubuntu question, try ##networking [02:06] well explained escott [02:06] ok ill try to contact them bazhang mate but one last question to escott can i setup a dns server same as dyndns and if so does it exist any programs for linux based operating system [02:07] CMO, why do you want to run a dyndns server? [02:08] CMO: it sounds like you want a proxy not dns anyway. You might possibly consider understanding exactly what it is you're asking for rather then dimply confusing the people trying to help you. [02:08] simply* [02:10] anybody knows how to adjust the wallpaper to my monitor resolution? [02:10] How can I recover from this: http://pastebin.com/WJ6TRrHJ [02:11] escott i wish to run it so i can control the dns replys in lan i would like to use a proxy server but i cant redirect any connection throw it without going to all the pc and configurate them but the router support dynamic dns sorry for all the confusion people am gonne turn to network channel but it was really hard to explain [02:11] endra, can you run "cat /proc/cmdline" (that may not work in busybox but worth a try) and note the UUID [02:11] endra, then boot the livecd and run "sudo blkid" and make sure it matches [02:11] I can't unmount the partition I'd like to format because it says 'Cannot unmount because file system on device is busy'. What should I do ? [02:11] kristenB try umount with force [02:12] CMO: how [02:12] one minute all send a link to a picture [02:12] kristenB, how have you tried to unmount? [02:12] right click and unmount :) [02:12] escott: problem is this is occurring on rackspacecloud so I cannot boot the live cd. [02:12] CMO, is this like a coffeeshop where you dont want people to get online without paying you? [02:13] endra, well somebody from rackspace is going to have to work on it [02:13] escott: I have access to console so perhaps I can try to chroot [02:13] http://tournasdimitrios1.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/dynamic-dns.jpg [02:14] endra, but if xvda1 isn't there for some reason... [02:14] escott: it is there. I can mount it [02:14] escott exactly but am trying to do this throw dynamic settings in router [02:15] endra, what is /proc/cmdline [02:15] CMO: what you are looking at is for using your router to update it's WAN ip address with a dynamic DNS service. That has nothing at all to do with LAN DNS. [02:16] CMO, that dyndns is as i explained earlier. its unrelated to dnsmasq. it allows you to establish a dns entry for your unfixed residential address [02:16] kristenB, try "udisks --unmount /media/whatever" [02:16] escott: root=UUID=/dev/xvda1 ro quiet splash [02:17] kristenB, figure out what is still using files on that drive and shut it down [02:17] Hrmm after a clean install, when I goto boot up it just sits at a pink/purple screen. If I ctrl+alt+delete the next time it boots it goes to the grubs creen, then I hit enter and it boots. But I have to boot once, then ctrl+alt+delete to get it to boot. any ideas? === aaass is now known as aaas [02:17] escott: let me get a clean boot and give you that output. [02:17] kristenB, the program `lsof` can be helpful for this [02:17] endra, i think that might be why. it should be root=/dev/xvda1 not root=UUID=... [02:17] wylde: i've been telling him/her this for ages [02:17] endra, at least i would think [02:17] escott: how do I change that value? [02:17] ActionParsnip: yeah, I saw earlier. I was mostly lurking [02:18] CIDR: ou don't need a dns server to translate your WAN IP to a name, you just need a small client app to upgrade your IP incase it changes via DHCP from your ISP [02:18] Yep its 100% the new kernel -26 has broken sound for me on Precise. Rolling back to -25 fixes the issue. Shutting down pulseaudio processes and rm -rf pulse configuration in home dir, does not fix problem. [02:18] huh? [02:18] aha so cant i use a server to update it's wan's dns settings [02:18] endra, if you can get to the grub boot menu you could edit the boot entry. alternately you could chroot in and modify /etc/default/grub or directly modify /boot/grub/grub.cfg only changing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub would be permanent [02:18] !bugs | Grant_P [02:18] Grant_P: 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. [02:18] ActionParsnip: and you're a better man than I, I don't think I could have had anywhere near your patience with that other fellow you were "trying" to help. [02:19] escott, no, filesystems are located by UUID so that it doesn't matter if their device name changes between reboots [02:19] CIDR: the ONLY time you need a DNS service is if you want to make names translate to something else on the LAN or redirect a name to a different IP, it is a feature in home grade routers so is rarely needed in home situations [02:19] psusi, but his boot entry specifies UUID= and then gives a dev entry [02:19] wylde: I have a lot of time, work is dead [02:19] i probebly need to research some more thanks for all help u've been the BEST [02:20] :) [02:20] ActionParsnip thats exactly what i want mate [02:20] CMO: if you want easy wan access to your network, get a no-ip account then install the noip2 package and it will update the ip regularly [02:20] escott, ohh, yea... he must have goofed it up [02:20] CMO: you can then forget your own ip and use the name [02:21] endra, you would be better off to use a UUID if you have it. and "sudo blkid" will tell you what that is, but to boot for now it should be sufficient to remove the UUID= [02:21] endra, did you directly edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg? you shouldn't do that [02:21] CMO: IF you're wanting to filter or redirect traffic leaving your network you need a proxy. [02:21] escott: this all happened after the latest updates to the kernel/grub. Anyone else experiencing these? [02:21] the only thing am trying to do is redirect all the website request's to my server that am running on my pc without have to run any spoofing software [02:22] psusi: no. I did update-grub but it cannot update because it is mounted as readonly [02:22] CMO: so like a [roxy for web access [02:22] endra, then mount -o remount,rw . [02:22] endra, then mount -o remount,rw / [02:22] endra, and why is it mounted read only? [02:22] CMO: and cache the data, speed up the web [02:22] CMO: I see no real reason to do that that isn't related to some shady activity [02:22] BlueEagle: ubottu: Good point, thanks. [02:22] (noob) i am trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 - using sudo do-release-upgrade. While upgrading, it asked me whether I wanted to keep or upgrade the existing version. I chose to display the differences. Now I cannot get out of this screen with the differences. How can I get out of this without aborting the installation? [02:22] exactly ActionParsnip [02:23] ssp_: The Q-button iirc [02:23] CMO: thats NOTHING to do with DNS. [02:23] well am just trying to charge people for using my network [02:23] escott, psusi: I don't know why it's mounted read-only. I tried mount -o remount,rw / but it gave me some sort of error that I forgot now. [02:23] ssp_: That or the escape key. [02:23] BlueEagle, thanks a lot! [02:23] ssp_, 10.10 has reached end of life, you shouldn't even be able to upgrade to it at this point [02:23] endra, then fsck it [02:23] I'm trying to copy a file to my newly created partition, but it says permission denied [02:24] :-) [02:24] fsck ya! [02:24] so do i setup a proxy server then how do i redirect all lan users to this proxy [02:24] ssp_, you should be upgrading to 12.04 [02:24] kristenB, since it is ext4 you need to change the permissions on the mountpoint or create a folder and give your user ownership [02:24] escott: how do I do that ? [02:24] psusi - I am trying to do that. However, it seems that I need to upgrade to 10.10, then to 11.xx and then to 12.04? [02:24] kristenB, sudo chown username:username /media/whatever [02:25] ssp_, nope, you can upgrade straight from one lts ( 10.04 ) to the next ( 12.04 ) [02:25] CMO: you want a caching proxy server like squid or polipo [02:25] CMO: you can log accesses and such and then direct all the web traffic from the nodes to that system# [02:26] psusi, I did this so far: (1) sudo apt-get install update-manager-core (2) Edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal (3) sudo do-release-upgrade [02:26] CMO: Just to make sure; You have a box that sits between the internet and a bunch of clients and those clients do receive internet connection from this machine. You want any and all web requests to go trough this machine to access the webserver on this machine. [02:26] Am I doing this right? Right now it is step 3 [02:26] ssp_, doing all 4 upgrades, one after the other, would take FOREVER. You would be better off just reinstalling from scratch with12.04 [02:26] escott: ok it's working now. Why is there a lost+found folder there ? [02:26] Is there a way to do that now, psusi? I am doing the do-release-upgrade now [02:27] kristenB: all partitions have that [02:27] kristenB, every ext partition has a lost+found. in case of corruption file fragments will end up there [02:27] kristenB, because all ext[234] filesystems have that in their root [02:27] ok thanks :) [02:27] ssp_, probably not [02:27] ssp_: I'd clean install, you will download a lot less data and it will give you a cleaner OS [02:27] How do you hide a folder? [02:27] so should i be like a gateway connected to the router which will offer the clients wireless network and then get redirected to me? [02:28] Lymphocyte: start it's name with a . [02:28] !crosspost | Lymphocyte [02:28] Lymphocyte: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. [02:28] AcidRain2012, psusi, I have a lot of data on this machine. Won't I lose it if I do a clean install? [02:28] sorry [02:28] CMO: Oh... Wireless. That will be a bit more tricky. Is OpenWRT (or any derivates) an alternative? [02:29] wylde: thanks have a good night! [02:29] CMO: yes, you push all data via the proxy then to the router [02:29] Hrmm after a clean install, when I goto boot up it just sits at a pink/purple screen. If I ctrl+alt+delete the next time it boots it goes to the grubs creen, then I hit enter and it boots. But I have to boot once, then ctrl+alt+delete to get it to boot. any ideas? [02:29] ssp_, if you do a clean install, choose manual partitioning, and make sure NOT to check the format box and your data will be left alone... just the OS replaced [02:30] CIDR: what video chip do you use? [02:30] CIDR, if you hit the up arrow does it say anything useful [02:30] thanks all am going to search google a bit when i find the solution i will send it here THANKS SO MUTCH ALL [02:30] escott no? [02:30] ssp_, though of course, you should *always* have your data backed up, especially before doing something like upgrading the OS [02:31] psusi, thanks for those tips. [02:31] I think I have a drive that is damaged. How can I know for sure ? If I go to gparted, there's a red exclamation mark on it, and it says: warning: unable to detect file system. possible reasons: fs is damaged, fs is unknown to gparted, there is no fs available (unformatted), the device entry /dev/sdab1 is missing. What can I do from there? [02:32] kristenB, run "sudo partprobe" [02:32] kristenB: "sdab1"? [02:32] BlueEagle: typo. I meant sdb1 [02:32] ActionParsnip it's a ATI HD 7770 [02:32] kristenB: On this disk, do you have any primary partitions or only logical ones? [02:32] CIDR: get updated then install the proprietary driver, should help [02:33] ActionParsnip I have. [02:33] BlueEagle: on this disk, I don't have anything anymore. I think it's dead. I'd like to make sure. [02:33] kristenB: Ie. if you only have logical partitions you have only sdb5 and higher. [02:33] It's a fully updated 12.04 install, with the drivers downloaded from ATI... [02:33] kristenB: can your run sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 ; ? [02:33] escott: I run sudo partprobe, it didn't returned any output [02:33] am comming back as soon i find anything [02:33] kristenB, then reopen gparted and see if there error is still there [02:34] CIDR: is system a laptop? [02:34] kristenB: Before you started having these issues, did you have any primary partitions? Also could you tell more about the disk and file systems that were present? [02:34] No. [02:34] escott: yes it's still there even after gparted has been restarted [02:35] kristenB, then what does "sudo parted -l /dev/sdb" say? [02:35] what happened to your b? [02:35] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/1vbkJLVd [02:36] It just makes 0 sense, that when I boot the first time, or reboot it from inside of ubuntu it just sits at the purple pinkish screen until I ctrl+alt+delete, then it reboots, and will bootup fine once I hit enter on grub [02:36] kristenB, is this the partition you just tried to reformat from ntfs to ext4? [02:37] BlueEagle: Before I started having these issues, which were a few months ago since it's been a while I haven't touched this drive, after I've found out I was having difficulties with it, I had only one primary ntfs partition. It's a 2TB drive. [02:37] kristenB, you might open the disk utility and check the SMART status of the drive to make sure it is still healthy [02:37] ctrl+alt+f1,f2 etc.. doesn't drop me into a shell or anything either. [02:38] escott: http://pastebin.com/TpqSiviF [02:38] kristenB, is this the partition you just tried to convert from ntfs to ext4? [02:39] psusi: no it's a completely different issue, sorry for the confusion [02:39] kristenB, doesn't have a listed filesystem on it [02:39] kristenB, ohh... in that case, then it doesn't seem to contain a valid filesystem... you'll need to format it [02:39] kristenB, either (a) you never created a filesystem on it or (b) you created the filesystem but never set the type in the table [02:40] escott: psusi: BlueEagle: smart status: (green) Disk has a few bad sectors [02:42] in gparted, the filesystem is 'unknown', as opposed to 'unallocated' if there were no filesystem set up. [02:43] What should I do ? Should I just try to reformat it ? [02:43] my laptop won't boot - get message at bootup, starting LightDM Manger [failed] [02:44] My desktop manager won't start. "Starting LightDm Display Manager [failed]" [02:45] Hello [02:45] BlackDalek: can you still log in using CLI? (press ctl+alt+f2) [02:45] CIDR: are there any bugs reported? [02:46] It appears the ulimit for open files defaults to 1024 on my system from bootup. [02:46] gaelfx: I am using CLI now. Connected to IRC using irssi [02:46] How do I increase that for all startup processes? [02:46] I've been googling around, but it's a hard thing to search for [02:46] BlackDalek: did you try to reinstall lightdm? [02:46] hi, I'm trying to run something on startup using screen/tmux, but screen/tmux just exit after a while when called from the upstart job with `sudo start cgminer`. If I use the same command which is inside the upstart job, in the command line it works fine. here is the script: http://hastebin.com/faqixeveji [02:46] All the daemons from rc2.d are being set with that limit it seems. [02:47] CIDR: I'd report a new bug. Very strange [02:47] Yeah, it's just really bizarre [02:48] like the keyboard num lock and what not still works [02:48] now with quotes http://hastebin.com/hiridujuxa.sql [02:48] but I just can't get it to display anything useful [02:48] !reisub | CIDR [02:48] CIDR: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [02:48] CIDR, then check the logs [02:48] escott what logs? [02:49] Hmm, even init's ulimit for open files is 1024, where do I specify that? [02:49] escott like the system isn't even booting yet I don't thin. Magic sysrq does nothing [02:49] CIDR, kern.log, xorg [02:49] CIDR, i thought you had the purple plymouth splash? is it the purple grub? [02:50] there's no "splash" just a purple screen [02:50] so I guess grub [02:50] CIDR: if it were grub, you would get choices about which kernel image to boot, is it that, or is the screen literally all purple? [02:50] CIDR, well that would point to a bios issue [02:51] It's literally just all purple [02:51] gaelfx after I hit ctrl+alt+delete and the system reboots then I get a grub screen with choices [02:51] I hit enter and it boots fine [02:51] how do you install a radeon 9550 or ati RV350 into ubuntu 12.04? [02:52] CIDR: could remove the boot options: quiet splash see what happens [02:52] CIDR: so you can check the logs for errors that happen during that boot? You might want to look into the syslogs for the time that you booted and the purple screen came up [02:53] CIDR: or listen to ActionParsnip cause he probably knows more about it than I [02:53] worth a shot, i've no idea why its happening [02:54] just a useful step [02:54] I'm checking it out [02:54] yeah, I'd like to ditch the splash screen I don't need pretty [02:54] working on it now [02:54] CIDR: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub [02:55] Yeah I'm in there [02:55] CIDR: :) [02:55] just updated grub, rebooting now [02:55] hopefully now this will at least shed some light on what it's doing? [02:56] CIDR: dhopefully === Lupinedk is now known as lupinedk [02:57] takes my system a bit to boot [02:57] it's a super micro serverboard, with ipmi and all that, and hardware raid [02:57] WTF even after taking splash and quiet out this thing is still just at a pink screen [02:58] gaelfx: tried re-installing lightDM... still failed to boot. It gives up between the ubuntu logo and the login screen. It dies once the 5 dots light up. [02:58] woah [02:58] I didn't touch a thing [02:59] and it magically booted? [03:00] [21:45] does anyone know how to fix this error?:http://nsa30.casimages.com/img/2012/07/02/120702044104682163.jpg [03:00] BlackDalek: did you check dmesg for errors relating to lightdm? === Mayazcherquoi is now known as Guest92064 === timi is now known as Guest19878 === P4R4N01D is now known as Guest3941 === dan64 is now known as Guest57017 === McPeter is now known as Guest99867 === kc is now known as Guest48629 === kermit is now known as Guest13192 === Guest19878 is now known as timi_7x [03:01] CIDR: reboot again to test :) [03:02] lather, rinse, repeat [03:02] CIDR, is the bootloader on the hardware raid [03:02] ActionParsnip already ahead of you [03:02] CIDR: sweet [03:02] escott yes [03:02] it's working now? [03:03] No idea why? Just from removing those options? makes 0 sense [03:03] CIDR, i wonder if that is just taking some time to come up from a cold start [03:03] CIDR: maybe the system has difficulty going from plymouth to the login screen === Guest13192 is now known as kermit [03:06] ActionParsnip I'm not sure? [03:06] brb moving to my box [03:07] more better [03:07] CIDR: no idea but sacrificing something as trivial as a bot splash is worth it for successful boots [03:08] *boot [03:08] ActionParsnip: agreed, i could case less about a splash screen [03:08] * dr_willis wonders how much man hours haave been basically wasted on getting a nice boot splash going... [03:09] probably A TON [03:09] makes me wonder what will hapen when we eventually move to Wayland. [03:09] dr_willis: people love eyecandy.. [03:10] most dont even notice it.. till it breaks. ;) [03:10] heh [03:10] [21:45] does anyone know how to fix this error?:http://nsa30.casimages.com/img/2012/07/02/120702044104682163.jpg [03:10] speaking of breaking. ubuntu is so much worse than OS X and windows. you can tell by how little attention has been dedicated to making the kernel crash screens look good [03:11] What kernel crash screens? [03:11] gaelfx: there is something in dmesg which says "init: lightdm main process (939) terminated with status 1" - I don't know if that is relevant or not? :( [03:12] Somthing else i noticed thats sort of 'broken' today. with Firefox 13 the default homepage has some setting/quick config/ssync/buttons at the bottom of the page EXCEPT in ubuntu :) due to the ubuntu extension thats enabled by default.. not sure if thats a bug.. or just an oversight due to the new changes in FF. [03:12] Saiki: i'd ask in #apache [03:12] ActionParsnip: ##php told me to ask here, so I can play musical channels a bit I suupose. === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [03:13] Saiki: asking in lots is good [03:14] ActionParsnip: or it could just get annoying to everyone, if they're in all of them lol [03:15] I have a problem with my video I have a radeon 9550 or other wise known as a RV350 I am trying to install it in ubuntu 12.04.. any one out there can help? i have tried fglrx and the drivers from ati site. but can't get no where. [03:15] soothsayer: What problem are you running info? [03:15] ermm into [03:16] when I use the fglrx driver i get the pretty blank screen when I use the drivers for amd/ati I run into kernel issues.. because I am running a recent kernel. [03:16] I have a HD7770 ATI just released drivers on the 28th, do you have updated drivers as well? [03:17] BlackDalek: well, that just tells us that it failed, which we already know, but does it have a time stamp by it? Maybe you can hunt down the previous errors using that info if it's there [03:17] you mean the fglrx drivers from the repos. Vs. the Drivers from the ati site (which are newer fglrx drivers) [03:17] No.. I tried to download 9.3 and then download the recent cat. but it crashes from there i had it detect one time as a galluim? [03:18] Crashes when/where? [03:19] yeah I have tried from the repos and i have tried from other sources.. the crashes happen when the driver loads. basically boot screen. either goes blank. won't load at all or just gives a grub prompt.. kinda random on that. [03:19] I'm kind of scared of the mix of what all has been installed [03:19] I have even tried a fresh install.. and got nothing. [03:19] I'd remove all fglrx things, download the latest cat, and try an install [03:20] me too.. hahaha... but i am trying to get it working.. [03:20] last cat that comes up is 9.3 for driver.. 11.4 for cat [03:20] Seems about right? [03:21] but the driver isn't installing because it requires a lower kernel. iwhich means I would have to change the kernels and such to get it to go down to be able to install amd drivers.. [03:21] That's odd. [03:21] that is what i thought. [03:21] then again the cat version I have is 12.6 [03:21] so it's significantly newer [03:22] a web site was telling me it was a 2.6 kernel i had to use.. nah this is only a 256 meg. [03:22] my one gig card wouldn't hook up to this x8 agp and this is only sloted for x4 [03:23] is there a command to find out what router brand is being used on a network? [03:23] WeThePeople, ask the administrator? [03:23] WeThePeople: check out the mac address, then look it up [03:23] WeThePeople, do oyu have the MAC address? [03:23] soothsayer: are you sure it didn't say >=2.6? Are you talking about the unoffical AMD Linux site? [03:23] good idea [03:23] run a nmap against it? [03:23] thanks [03:23] WeThePeople: might try from a browser to http to the gateway address of your service [03:24] it was the official site and it was saying 2.6 yes.. 2.6.2 I think. [03:24] WebDawg, Get your gateway adress and use telnet to communicate with. [03:24] and this is running kernel 2.8 or something like that.. i know it is close to 3. [03:24] WeThePeople, http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/ [03:24] there is no way to do that in simple way [03:25] its a gemtek [03:25] WeThePeople, :) [03:25] never heard of that brand.. [03:26] oerheks, cidr, litropy, sacarlson, thanks [03:26] soothsayer: hrmmm [03:26] WebDawg, that information are from your network board, dont? [03:26] soothsayer: and that's the newest version? [03:27] yeah I know right.. i have been bashing my poor keyboard to death with trying everything i could think of. [03:27] yeah those are the only version that work with my card.. because it is old and they dropped support for it. [03:28] dr_willis, it's a generic taiwanese brand. I haven't heard anything bad, but I haven't heard anything good, either. [03:28] wonder if they make a x4 nvidia that would be a gig of memory? [03:28] x4 ? [03:29] yeah this is a 1.8 amd. but i can't find anything that works with video. but i sure can get another video card.. just a greedy frengi. [03:30] CIDR, soothsayer, I'm trying to gether what's going on ... you have a video card that's got compatibility issues? [03:30] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/7qa1GzfX === gartral|Away is now known as gartral [03:30] litropy: nah I'm fine [03:30] it's soothsayer [03:31] ActionParsnip: Looks like I'll be never-ending looping [03:31] yes litropy I have and older card RV350 or radeon 9550 and it is having a serious driver issue. the kernel is too high to use the older driver because they wanted natty or less and there isn't any support on the newer versions because they dropped support [03:32] soothsayer, didn't torvalds himself just give the finger to nvidia? [03:33] eh... Not sure.. I have ati currently well amd make down piece of crap. but i am thinking of trying to get another card but i am stuck with x4 right now. [03:33] Oh. This is ati [03:33] D'oh [03:34] yeah.... I am thinking of getting a nvidia.. because i am having so much trouble with this one hahaha [03:35] soothsayer, don't. Well, maybe for an older one. But the linux world is not happy with nvidia because of what you're going through right now. [03:35] mv ati is working fine. [03:35] My nvidia worked fine. [03:35] I know you have an ATI, just saying [03:35] litropy: nvidia joined the linux foundation recently [03:35] soothsayer: how many monitors do you need to support? [03:36] just one.. and i am thinking of bumping to at least 512.. because doom runs to slow and jerky on this thing i would hate to trying anything elder scrolls. [03:37] soothsayer: nvidia rocks imho :) [03:37] might try to go for a 512 nvidia.. i have been with ati/amd long enough me thinks haahha [03:38] /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [03:38] err [03:38] Grant_P: drop the first space you added :) [03:38] ActionParsnip: lol, yes damn copy and paste :P [03:39] sorry was on a site and it handed me all the bad news of this card.. hahaha [03:39] hi again everyone was here earlier needed some help with dns server redirection i wanted to redirect hosts in lan to a specifiq hostname located on lan with a http server now i have found a soulution the program is called MintDNS url: www.dyndnsservices.com [03:40] Grant_P: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070654/ you can add that to your ~/.irssi/config file :) [03:41] CMO: how many nodes need to be affected? [03:41] 254 hole lan network just add the configuration to the application and run a custom dns server [03:42] but it only works with windows server [03:42] CMO: can your router not manage the resolution? [03:43] CMO: what are you using for LAN DNS? [03:43] How to open GRUB configuration file? [03:43] ActionParsnip to be onest with u am not an expert but the app can control the wan ip settings which will set a dns server on local area network [03:43] MissVera: there are many, what are you wanting to achieve? [03:44] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 [03:44] To permanently change the default kernel boot options, press ALT+F2 or open a terminal from system > accessories > terminal. Type in the following command: Code: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub a text editor will open with the grub configuration file. Near the top of that file you will see something very similar to this: [03:44] That command, opens nothing. [03:44] MissVera: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc [03:44] so u can startup a dns server and run the dns reqest to a dynamic server such as dyndns while the setting table u have set is redirected to the server located on ur localmachine [03:45] ActionParsnip: Precise [03:45] Question. I am unable to boot into 10.04. I am probably going to have to reinstall the OS. Is there a way I can reinstall Ubuntu without touching /home? [03:45] J-Escobar just backup home mate by running live ubuntu distro and back it up to usb or create a second backup partion [03:45] MissVera: you can also use: sudo nano /etc/default/grub [03:46] J-Escobar: you can boot liveCD and delete the other folders. Why do you not have a backup of your data? [03:46] J-Escobar did u install home on a seperate partion [03:46] ActionParsnip: yay! ty! [03:46] J-Escobar thats true philwyett [03:47] MissVera: are you using KDE or XFCE by any chance? [03:47] The problem with home is it is 1TB. I can't figure out why it won't boot. I have the data on there still, but don't have an option to transfer it off before a new install. [03:47] ActionParsnip: xfce [03:47] MissVera: then you can use: gksudo mousepad /etc/default/grub [03:47] anyway my question is does anyone now any dynamic dns server program for linux ubuntu distro [03:48] MissVera: I also suggest you run: sudo ln -s `which mousepad` /usr/bin/gedit [03:48] how do you make the e with the ` over it? [03:48] J-Escobar: once you get a boot, get a backup and you won't have any worries about data integrity and you won't have this issue [03:49] need to go thanks anyway BUYBUY [03:49] on a US keyboard that is [03:49] gaelfx: could use the charmap app and copy [03:49] ActionParsnip: That was.. Confusing. But, I have Grub open, all i needed was to edit a line. it breaks at the beginning for whatever reason [03:49] I was hoping to get a clean install without wiping /home. But I do have a backup of all my important stuff. If i have to, I can purchase a new HD to backup my downloads and then restore and transfer back. I was just hoping for a faster and easier way. [03:50] ActionParsnip: you don't happen to know the exact name of that char, do you? [03:50] gaelfx: it's ascii 138 [03:50] Hi, I've got a problem running curses via upstart job. It crashes right away on tmux and screen, but not if I run in normally, without going thru upstart. What can the problem be? I'm on a fresh 12.04 [03:51] MissVera: in the terminal I'd press CTRL+X and use the mousepad [03:51] can anyone please try dragging the URL icon from google-chrome to desktop. My screen is freezing after this. [03:51] MissVera: CTRL+X will close nano for you [03:52] i have 3 instances of smuxi open under my messaging center, can someone inform me how to close these please [03:54] Running a VM using VirtualBox. Is there any way to set it to occupy an entire workspace? [03:54] And have it unfocus whenever I want to navigate out of that workspace? [03:54] gaelfx: 'e acute' is how i'd say it [03:55] ActionParsnip, I had to change the grub file, and after i saved then exited, I typed sudo update-grub and it said, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannotfind a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [03:55] ActionParsnip: Thanks for that one, will check it out. :) [03:55] MissVera: are you chrooted? [03:55] I,, have no idea [03:56] MissVera: are you booted to liveCD to edit grub? [03:56] No, I installed it. === cution is now known as Guest16332 [03:56] MissVera: doesn't sound good. I suggest you use this: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video [03:57] FATAL: module ndiswrapper not found. What do I do?? [03:57] Stark, yes during its creation dynamic means to use only space used and the other option is entire disk at once [03:58] I reinstalled and everything ^^ [03:59] I get the error at sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [03:59] ActionParsnip, What is this for? [03:59] ActionParsnip, I had been trying to do this because that thread showed me to. The nomodeset, bit. [04:00] Can anyone help me with my problem? [04:00] Ghosthunter007: I mean for screen resolution [04:00] If not its ok [04:00] MissVera: if the OS is installed, you can hold SHIFT at boot, then press E and (e)dit the boot [04:01] MissVera: you can add and remove them on the line with: quiet splash on [04:01] someone really need to make a website with xorg.conf templates [04:01] ActionParsnip: thanks [04:01] Ghosthunter007: The workspaces function default with Ubuntu doesn't seem to allow me to switch out of the workspace I have the VM on without clicking the desktop first to unfocus the VM [04:01] Ghosthunter007: So setting it to fullscreen would lock me there completely unless there's a way to get it to let me navigate out without clicking the desktop [04:01] Welp, this is off-chance, but: I enabled tilda's animated pulldown and now tilda is blank -- like, it's not refreshing nor showing me what's going on. Is there a way to tell tilda to refresh without ending the command I'm running? [04:02] ActionParsnip, Im afraid to try and reboot. The last time, i was unable to get to the boot. I would make it past post, then it'd blackscreen with a blinking cursor. [04:02] Stark: set it fullscreen then press right ALT, you can then use CRL+ALT+Left Cursor to switch workspace [04:02] #tilda is empty, and only one person is in solenoid.oftc.net #tilda [04:02] MissVera: what GPU do you use? [04:02] ActionParsnip, so, I already edited grub. but when i tried to update it, it gave me that error /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannotfind a device for / (is /dev mounted?). [04:03] Anyone knowledgeable about ndiswrapper? [04:03] litropy: try killing tilda, renaming tilda's config folder (or file) then rerun [04:03] ActionParsnip: My host key isn't set to right ALT, but the host key also won't let me use my workspace navigation command. [04:03] ActionParsnip, and, that video you linked me to, I havent watched it just yet, but, found this in the comments https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair ? [04:03] MissVera: doesn't sound good, are you fully updated [04:03] MissVera: try both :) [04:04] MissVera: / needs to be mounted for the OS to boot [04:04] MissVera: / holds the OS itself [04:04] ActionParsnip, how would i see if im fully updated? Sorry. I've been using Ubuntu for all of... two days. [04:04] ActionParsnip, I would, I really, really would, but I'm upgrading to 12.10 ... within tilda, at this very moment. [04:04] MissVera: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [04:04] litropy: ah [04:04] Hi! I just upgraded to 12.04 two days ago. the bar that SHOULD BE on the TOP with the battery, volume, time and username info is invisible. How do I fix this? [04:05] ActionParsnip when you are done would you mind giving me a hand? I would really appreciate it [04:05] ActionParsnip, those are two separate commands, right? [04:05] litropy: what if you press ENTER after clicking tilda? [04:05] I can see the objects on it (i.e. the time, how much battery I have left) but the bar itself is invisible [04:06] JustAPerson: does it affect all session types? [04:06] ActionParsnip: I do not know what you mean by that [04:06] Well.. I hope they were two seperate commands, because thats how i entered 'em >.> [04:06] why must that always highlight me? :S [04:06] ActionParsnip, nothing. [04:07] JustAPerson: when you log in, click the Ubuntu logo near your username, those are the sessions you can use. Try a differnet one [04:07] ActionParsnip, I suppose I could just leave it and hope it doesn't ask me anything config oriented ... it might install all the way through and return to shell prompt, but ... I'm uneasy about the chances. [04:08] ActionParsnip, It's updating, I guess. [04:08] litropy: if you open a terminal and run: ps -ef | grep dpkg | grep -v grep do you get output? [04:08] MissVera: indeed. helps a lot [04:08] ActionParsnip Those were two separate commands, weren't they? [04:09] ActionParsnip: yes it affects the guest session as well. I notice the bar starts as a grey color, but when I open a window it becomes invisible [04:09] ActionParsnip, yes, lots [04:09] litropy: ok, the update is running [04:09] I used ubuntu livecd because I wanted to resize a partition on a SDcard but that also contains a swap partition and the ubuntu livecd then 'steals' that swap partition. It locked it with swapon. why is that ? [04:09] MissVera: you can run it as one, the semicolon just allows multiple commands on one line [04:09] ActionParsnip, at least I can check that. [04:10] Ah! [04:10] litropy: could run top as well, see if its hung etc [04:10] can anyone please try dragging the URL icon from google-chrome to desktop. My screen is freezing after this. [04:10] litropy: you may be able to fg the process in a new terminal, not sure if that's possible though [04:10] Uh [04:11] ActionParsnip, yep, I've got htop. [04:11] litropy: you could also kill the process then run the !aptfix commands [04:11] FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. Can anyone help??? [04:11] Athleek123: do you have the ndiswrapper package installed? [04:11] Yes [04:11] Well... it would appear as though my issue fixed itself. [04:11] Perhaps because I installed the Guest Additions. [04:12] ActionParsnip... failed to write status database record blah blah No space left on device... Even though, when i installed, it reformatted, and I should have 50gb free... [04:12] Ndiswrapper -l returns correctly [04:12] Says driver installed [04:13] ActionParsnip it's when I run sudo modprobe ndiswrapper that I get the error [04:13] Has anyone had luck using empathy with msn? [04:14] KorvinSzanto: ive setup amsn with msn before [04:15] Athleek123: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install ndiswrapper may help [04:15] Ok [04:15] Anyone know how to open gparted from the terminal? [04:15] MissVera: gksudo gparted [04:15] how you guys debug the kernel for any issues/for performance ? [04:15] using kgdb ? [04:15] ActionParsnip unable to locate package ndiswrapper [04:15] !info ndiswrapper [04:16] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in precise [04:16] ActionParsnip, my online friends aren't showing up [04:16] !find ndisgtk [04:16] Found: ndisgtk [04:16] !info ndisgtk | Athleek123 [04:16] Athleek123: ndisgtk (source: ndisgtk): graphical frontend for ndiswrapper (installation of Windows WiFi drivers).

[04:23] y0om4: http://www.veen.com/jeff/archives/000573.html [04:23] Athleek123: the fact that the OS has issues installing ndisgtk etc [04:24] ActionParsnip ok I'm gonna try something then ill get back to you [04:24] ActionParsnip: just made a new user and it was also affected by this problem [04:24] y0om4: seems to be the -i option [04:24] JustAPerson: tried a different theme? use myunity to switch theme [04:26] Actionparsnip on the ndiswrapper install page it says there is a known bug in these deb packages that returns {insert error I am having}. The kernel module may not have installed, to avoid this problem, it is best to compile from the source at ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net [04:26] What should I do [04:27] Aka how do I install the "kernel module" [04:27] modprobe [04:27] Athleek123: i guess do what it says, or grab a diffeent wifi device, they are stupidly cheap [04:27] But what does compile from the source mean [04:27] Athleek123, build a software from its source code, simply what it implies [04:28] well a software/driver/etc [04:28] Athleek123: programmers write source code for apps, then compile them. The ubuntu guys make handy debs for the binaries (programs) which result from the source code [04:28] How do I compile? [04:28] Athleek123: the guide is saying you will need to compile the source code yourself [04:28] !compile [04:28] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [04:29] Athleek123: is there no linux native driver for your wifi chip? [04:30] ActionParsnip nope [04:30] Athleek123: what wifi chip are you using? [04:31] ActionParsnip: tried a few themes and the bar is still invisible. Also, windows in general look wrong: http://imgur.com/GnXtk [04:32] Is there a way to create a shortcut in a folder to another folder that is on an external drive? [04:32] Anyone ran D3 in wine ? [04:32] JustAPerson: thats just a terminal windows, what is the issue? [04:33] Liquidedge: use a symlink [04:33] CIDR: yes I have, there are some graphics glitches though [04:33] CIDR: checked the appdb? [04:33] ActionParsnip wg311v3 [04:33] Athleek123: thats the adapter, not the chip [04:33] gksudo seppuku [04:33] Athleek123: run: sudo lshw -C network what is the chip used [04:34] ActionParsnip, reading about that now. Should work. Thanks! [04:34] Liquidedge: ln -s /path/to/folder ~/Desktop/name [04:35] Now that's service. [04:35] after running apt-get dist-upgrade -y do I need to run anythign else to upgrage my system? === ryan is now known as Guest62563 [04:36] Liquidedge: obviously change /path/to/folder to what you want to link TO and the ~/Desktop/name can be where you ink TO === Guest62563 is now known as LADataJunkie [04:36] Liquidedge: watch out using spaces for stuff, or you will need to escape them :) [04:36] Actionparsnip Marvell technology group ltd. 88w8835 [Libertas] [04:36] Athleek123: great. THAT is the chip [04:37] JustAPerson: I ca n't get it to lauch. I got the launcher and installer to work, now that it's 100% it won't go [04:37] using wine 1.5.7 [04:37] Athleek123: Netgear bought a tonne of wifi chips from Marvell and made the adapter you are using [04:37] brb [04:37] CIDR: I'd ask in #wine [04:37] thanks [04:37] Actionparsnip so how do I get the Linux driver? [04:37] Athleek123: and the output of: lsb_release -sc [04:38] Athleek123: seen this page?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 [04:39] ActionParsnip: did you reply earlier? I had to reconnect. Changing themes does not help [04:39] Actionparsnip thats exactly what I dis [04:39] Hi guy's need help I plug and disconnected a monitor and lost 3d in unity how can I fix this [04:39] JustAPerson: yes, all you posted was a terminal, which oesn't show much... [04:40] spik3: reboot maybe.. [04:40] after running apt-get dist-upgrade -y do I need to run anythign else to upgrage my system? [04:40] Athleek123: does reinstalling ndiswrapper with the debs help? [04:40] ActionParsnip I've tried that no go? [04:41] spik3: is Unity2D ok? [04:41] ActionParsnip: nope [04:41] Action Parsnip 2D is ok [04:41] Athleek123: looks like you#ll be compiling ndiswrapper then [04:41] ActionParsnip how again? And after I compile what do I do? [04:42] spik3: ok, reboot and log in to the unity3D session, then log off and log into the 2D sessin and read: /var/log/Xorg.0.log may give clues [04:42] Athleek123: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=compile+ndiswrapper [04:42] ActionParsnip: sorry, I meant to show that the menu buttons and drop downs are all different. (The terminal was originally set to black text on black background for whatever, but I changed this) [04:42] Ty lol [04:43] ActionParsnip, ps -ef | grep dpkg | grep -v grep now returns nothing. Is it safe to say I can reboot? [04:43] ActionParsnip I will do catch-up soon [04:43] litropy: if no dpkg processes are running then its probably finished. reboot and hold your breath [04:43] ActionParsnip, k thx [04:43] Hello [04:44] Im looking to install ubuntu for the first time. [04:44] Michael216: cool [04:44] Michael216: good choce [04:44] * litropy draws in all the air his lungs can contain, straining his diaphragm, puffing his cheeks, crossing both his fingers ... [04:45] Problem #2: When I ssh in to the machine, it accepts the ssh username/password, no problem, but the screen is just black. [04:45] after running apt-get dist-upgrade -y do I need to run anythign else to upgrage my system? (like a do-release-upgrade) or somehting [04:45] Saiki, No. [04:45] I just mainly use the computer for surfing and playing games [04:45] Liquidedge: simple reboot? [04:45] Yup [04:45] will it be a smoother ride? [04:46] Michael216, it'll make an old machine seem super fast. [04:46] Liquidedge: try entering `reset` blindly? [04:46] Michael216: depending on what games you play [04:46] Just basic browser based games [04:46] Saiki: you now have the latest packages for the release you are using :) [04:46] ActionParsnip: I'm trying to upgrade from lucid [04:46] JustAPerson, Good thought. Didn't work, though. [04:46] !upgrade | Saiki [04:46] Saiki: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [04:47] ActionParsnip forgot to ask what do we look for [04:47] Im out peace be back in the future [04:47] spik3: just errors really, and warnings [04:48] Is there a way to repair my 12.04 installation? Much like with a LiveCD, but without the LiveCD part? [04:48] ActionParsnip: ok do you want me to do with the file [04:48] anyone have trouble with the timeskip today on ubuntu? I have not but I've heard a lot of servers have === 64MABLZE2 is now known as gartral [04:48] JustAPerson, what's wrong with it? [04:48] spik3: read it [04:50] ActionParsinp: OK really dont know what I'm looking for /at [04:50] spik3: down the left side you will see (II) which are informational [04:50] spik3: (WW) which are warnings (nothing major but should be noted) [04:50] a5m0: a bunch of shit: nautilus won't start because of some dynamic library conflicts, the bar on the very top that shows the time, volume, etc is invisible, and a lot of things just look plain wrong/different [04:50] default gnome-shell theme is Adwaita , How can change it ? (change default) [04:50] spik3: and (EE) which are errors [04:51] ActionParsnip: ok give me a while back soon [04:52] JustAPerson, a reinstall would probably be fastest [04:53] ActionParsnip: is 12.04 out yet? [04:53] yes Saiki [04:53] Saiki, 12.04 has been out in 04/12 [04:53] Saiki: look at the version number, think about what year it is [04:53] Saiki: the version numbers are extremely logical [04:54] ActionParsnip: ok, I'm not thinking verystraight right now, sorry about that [04:54] Saiki: its cool :) [04:54] Saiki: makes EOL easy to calculate too :) [04:54] 10.04 says "No new release found" [04:54] a5m0: is there a CLI way to do that like do-release-upgrade? I don't have access to any blank CDs to burn an image to [04:55] How can fix this problem ? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4716839#post4716839 [04:55] Saiki: you need to use -d you will get offered the upgrade when Precise goes to 12.04.1 [04:55] JustAPerson, I found this by googling http://techie-buzz.com/foss/reinstall-ubuntu-from-command-line.html [04:55] hey [04:56] mah454: have you asked in #gnome as wel? [04:56] ActionParsnip: there it goes. thanks [04:56] JustAPerson, you could try the second command first to see if that resolves your conflicts: sudo apt-get install -f [04:56] Saiki: np dude. be sure your backups are up to date in case of catastroophe [04:56] ActionParsnip: it was 99% stockk, so I'm not worried [04:57] ActionParsnip, yes but do not answer to my question ! [04:57] mah454: gah [04:57] ActionParsnip, sorry ! gah ? [04:57] mah454: gah = expression of exasperation [04:58] mah454: just found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/themeselector-gnome-shell-extension-to.html [04:58] mah454: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=gnome-shell+change+theme+ubuntu that's all I used, then clicked the top link... [04:58] mah454: have you seen the link I pasted before? [04:59] a5m0: I tried the second one first, it didn't do anything (0 packages changed) The first command appears to have frozen [04:59] i think the only thing to do would be to wait [04:59] or check top to see if there is actiivity [04:59] i assume it would have a lot to do [05:00] ActionParsnip:found 5 ww relating to fonts 2ww Nvidia and 2 EE in Nvidia [05:00] anyone know a good tutorial to move your boot partition to usb? for having full disck encryption? [05:01] spik3: fonts you can ignore [05:01] ActionParsnip: good [05:01] spik3: i suggest you uninstall the nvidia driver, reboot then reinstall it [05:02] ActionParnsnip: ok but how to remove Nvidia and reinstall as a Newbie [05:04] spik3: sudo apt-get --remove nvidia-current nvidia-settings [05:04] oops [05:05] spik3: sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-current nvidia-settings [05:05] you can tell its 6am here :) [05:05] is argentina white? [05:05] ActionParsnip time here is 15:05 === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [05:06] hi [05:06] short of contacting the manufacturer directly, is there any way to find out what wireless chipset a USB wireless dongle uses? [05:06] (also short of actually buying it?) [05:08] why do YOU use Ubuntu Linux?/ Open Source Software!? [05:08] gaelfx, there are a few sites that may tell you such as linux-wireless.passys.nl (or something like that), Then there's googling of model number appending "; chipset" behind it [05:09] hmm [05:09] psycho_oreos: thanks, will try [05:10] designbybeck: wrong channel dude, try #ubuntu-offtopic [05:10] gaelfx, wikidevi may also tell you the chipset and their chipset ID. That's the other one I was trying to remember.. though there are a fair few sites. [05:11] ActionParsnip: Don't you ever take a break and jump to another channel! ;) [05:11] hey [05:11] psycho_oreos: that was the first google result actually :D good call [05:11] designbybeck: i'm in +1 sometimes [05:13] google comin to montreal soon [05:14] blodgfx: its already there: http://www.google.com/about/jobs/locations/montreal/ [05:14] gaelfx, off topic but I sometimes I hate winter days. Googling using my search method seems to be the fastest way but I'd wouldn't rest on a single answer. I would get a general consensus of the various reports on what people say its actual chipset is for that specific model. [05:15] ubuntu support uefi ? [05:17] arch linux [05:17] psycho_oreos: yeah, don't worry, I have a little skeptic in me === hybrid is now known as o0o0o [05:19] gaelfx, and with that I'd add the likes of brand names like: netgear, 3com, trendnet and belkin to the extra-cautious list. Those vendors are notoriously known to mix various chipsets under the same model number. Needless to say it causes frustration and grief to the unsuspecting end user [05:19] Greetings [05:19] Everytime I open up my terminal, I have to enter "source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm" , can I make it permanent? [05:20] ibm have good support for linux [05:21] except IBM doesn't manufacture wireless cards/dongles [05:21] hehe [05:25] sulaiman: sure you can add it in ~/.profile [05:26] psycho_oreos: actually, the one I'm looking at now is netgear :P [05:26] sulaiman: or rename ~/.bashrc and symlink your source file to ~/.bashrc [05:26] sulaiman: editting ~/.profile is probably sleeker [05:28] gaelfx, well I'd be very cautious :) I have had two devices from netgear which claim they were supported but it came out to be a completely different chip inside :)　Of one of them was this: http://daemonizer.de/prism54/wg511/ [05:29] REGISTER avatar09 Stuartxtra@gmail.com [05:29] SteinerRecliner: i'd ask in #freenode for help === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [05:29] SteinerRecliner: nice nick btw :) [05:29] Thank you [05:32] what is the speed of clock in ubuntu ? [05:32] psycho_oreos: there's always that risk, but the place I'm dealing with has a fairly good return policy, so I'm gonna be optimistic === lupinedk is now known as Lupinedk [05:33] thanks ActionParsnip [05:33] 125mhz? [05:35] blodgfx: dmesg can show 1000ths of a second in it's log... [05:36] I know its off topic, but http://i.imgur.com/G60bi.jpg [05:36] :| [05:38] I have sound everywhere but in Chromium. Thoughts? [05:38] whoops, wrong channel. [05:38] Hi , I have problem with apt-get . Getting some error like "unable to connect to 192.168.0.4:3128" [05:38] LiquidEdge: check that the driver is showing up in your sound settings [05:38] some one please help me [05:39] navatwo, Chrome sound settings? [05:39] siva40801: what are you trying to do? [05:39] navatwo, Sound works everywhere else. Movies, music, etc [05:39] Saiki: sudo apt-get update :( [05:39] LiquidEdge: try: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* wait 10 seconds then reboot [05:39] siva40801: vm or dedicated? [05:39] LiquidEdge: do other browsers have sound? [05:39] It's the only browser I have on here. [05:39] Uses Alsa [05:40] LiquidEdge: don't you think you should try others... [05:40] Saiki: I'm running this command in terminal (my ubuntu version is 12.04 LTS) [05:40] siva40801: do you use a proxy for web access? [05:40] ActionParsnip, my life is on Chrome, need to get that to work. [05:40] LiquidEdge: it's to TEST [05:40] I'll see what firefox does. [05:41] Hii ALL [05:41] Okay. I am in a text-based irc client, gdm won't start. I think pastebinit will post without a window manager ... [05:41] I miss BitchX [05:41] * wylde slides out the back door .... [05:41] litropy: sure, pastebinit is pure cli [05:41] wylde lol [05:42] litropy try to reinstall gdm or install kde [05:42] * Saiki locks and welds the back door shut [05:42] ActionParsnip: yeah.. once I used proxy.. but now I'm not using proxy [05:42] hahahaha [05:42] see the thing is, I think I can only get into one tty, and I'm using it. but let me try ... [05:42] siva40801: then edit /etc/apt/apt.conf and comment the proxy lines out. You may also need to unset http_proxy and ftp_proxy [05:42] LiquidEdge: sorry, I meant your system sounds [05:45] anyway i found a dynamic dns server for windows server does anyone now any for linux [05:45] i want to use squidt to cache videos,but i don't know how to do [05:46] xujun10110: doesn't that happen by default? [05:46] xujun10110: have you asked in #squid too? [05:47] Okay, no sound in Firefox or Chromium, but movies and music work fine. [05:47] LiquidEdge: qis this in flash items? like youtube? [05:47] Correct. Video plays, though. [05:47] no [05:47] LiquidEdge: then why didn't you say that? [05:47] Sorry. [05:47] exit [05:48] Didn't even think about it until you said it. [05:48] LiquidEdge: i bet if you play a streaming avi in your browser it plays [05:48] ActionParsnip, makes sense. How do I get the flash stuff to play? [05:48] I'm using this as a media center, so kind of important. [05:48] LiquidEdge: can you give a pastebin of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [05:49] Yeah, gimme a few. [05:49] LiquidEdge: you can use http://pastie.org (or similar) [05:51] LiquidEdge: if you copy and paste it as one command, its easier for you and you won't butcher the command [05:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070740 [05:51] I believe you'll find the problem there. [05:51] hello everyone [05:52] But I don't know what to do about it [05:52] i have a question [05:52] i want to program for ubutu [05:52] what labnguage do u gusy use ? [05:52] something about it not being able to properly detect my GPU [05:52] !contribute | Leo13 mainly C and C++ [05:52] Leo13 mainly C and C++: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu [05:52] *What language do u guys use ? [05:52] Leo, we're primarily English. [05:52] Leo13: and python [05:53] LiquidEdge: is your web connection slow? [05:53] hehehe [05:53] i mean programming language [05:53] u see im a .Net programmer [05:53] ActionParsnip, no. Just setting up a lot. Doing it now. [05:53] Leo13, I know I was joking [05:54] LiquidEdge: gotcha [05:54] but im interested in linux , so do u guys have some IDE or something like VS ? === ztag100 is now known as potter [05:54] Guys, if I don't respond to something you sy to me, say it again because I don't have highlighting here and all these msgs look the same. === potter is now known as weasly [05:54] Leo13, do u code using which Language? === weasly is now known as weasley === weasley is now known as ztag100 [05:54] c# [05:55] umm [05:55] there is Mono [05:55] yea [05:55] but i heard [05:55] is not installed as default anymore [05:55] on ubuntu [05:55] Leo13: just offer your talents to a project and I'm sure they'll be glad for the extra hand [05:55] then you can install it via software center [05:55] right [05:56] iwanted to learn a new language [05:56] you could be using vala, it's somewhat like C# [05:56] and it's for GTK stuff [05:56] vala do they have an IDE for that ? [05:56] I reinstalled gdm, no dice [05:56] I think geany can handle vala [05:57] but see my Xorg log above. [05:57] Geany [05:57] I noticed a segfault with xorg upon startx [05:57] Geany [05:57] is a text editor isnt ? [05:57] well since I'm a C/C++/Python dude, can't tell how is Vala support... I most do my development using geany [05:57] not only a text editor [05:58] is an IDE [05:58] ActionParsnip: There is no file like /etc/apt/apt.conf :( [05:58] litropy: have you verified your RAM and filesystem are in good health? [05:58] siva40801, if you are looking for changing the repositories, it's in the file called /etc/apt/sources.list [05:59] i guess im not gonna get Visual Studio in linux right ? [05:59] Leo13, geany is a good IDE [05:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070749/ <<< I'm getting a permission denied error? [05:59] ill give it a shot [05:59] and probably a few other issues.... [05:59] and see what happens [05:59] wylde, I'm not sure as to the best way to verify that using bash. [05:59] imetallica: Actually I'm getting error when I try to run sudo apt-get update :( [06:00] Leo13: I like glade and it's development tools if you want to make gui stuf fast [06:00] Leo13, if you know how to handle XML, there is glade to bake interfaces for you [06:00] siva40801, which error? [06:00] thats pretty cool [06:00] ActionParsnip: removed Nvidia and tried to reinstall Nvidia no luck any more suggestion? [06:00] Glade is something similar to what i want [06:01] siva40801: then run: grep -R http /etc/apt/* [06:01] i wonder why mono is not in ubuntu by default anymore [06:01] it was a pretty cool framework [06:01] guys, I only have one tty ... I'm gonna disconnect from here then pastebin a dmesg [06:01] Leo13, I guess due to proprietary problems [06:01] Leo13: you can proto with glade in ruby or python or C# C++ ... [06:01] litropy: there should be a memory test option in the grub menu, and you can use fsck to check the filesystem. 'sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now' will force a reboot and filesystem check. [06:02] Psytonic: use visudo to edit sudoers, I don't suggest you add that as you will strip any sort of security from your OS [06:02] ActionParsnip: I know [06:02] ActionParsnip: all results are in /etc/apt/sources.list [06:02] what do u guys like best [06:02] ActionParsnip: and I'm fine with it - need to know whats wrong though [06:02] Java or just straight C [06:02] for linux ? [06:02] C [06:03] siva40801: then run: grep -R -i proxy /etc/apt/* [06:03] imho [06:03] imetallica: The error is "Unable to Connect to 190.168.0.4:3128" [06:03] Java needs a JVM, we got openJDK but it's not the best around the world [06:03] siva40801: also try: grep proxy ~/.bashrc [06:03] have u used java a lot [06:03] imetallica: we also 'got' oracle jvk... [06:03] *jdk [06:04] im a windows guy [06:04] and always had a hard time [06:04] to beleive the portability of java [06:04] K. 4016MB of RAM. Xorg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070740 | dmesg: http://[aste.ubuntu.com/1070750 [06:04] ActionParsnip, I know we do, but it's a pain in the butt to install it in any platform. [06:04] Leo13: whys that? [06:05] and it's not delivered "out of the box" [06:05] The system seems fine enough ... I think it just forgot about my GPU [06:05] ive heard a lot of complaints [06:05] ActionParsnip: there are no results for both commands.. no files are listed [06:05] wylde, actionparsnip [06:05] like if i write something in java can i run the same file in ubuntu [06:05] ewwww ATI :P [06:05] hoping someone can help me with a shell script >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070749/ [06:05] without changes to the source ? [06:06] Leo13, if you want to do stuff nice for Linux, you should try GTK or Qt libraries to design interfaces... programming languages I could suggest Python or C++ [06:06] Leo13: thats kinda the point [06:06] i know is the point [06:06] but does it actually work ? [06:06] flawlessly [06:06] im just asking [06:06] NOTHING works flawlessly [06:06] at all, ever [06:06] im a .net developer [06:06] but yes, it works [06:06] leo13, more or less [06:06] siva40801: ok what is the output of: echo $http_proxy [06:07] gtk and qt are crossplatform [06:07] Psytonic: death does [06:07] ActionParsnip: :P [06:07] Psytonic: if someone fully dies, then death has worked [06:07] there u go [06:07] ActionParsnip, lol?! [06:07] Action has a point [06:07] or does it? [06:07] ActionParsnip: you are awesome!! result is "http://192.168.0.4:3128" [06:07] litropy: your dmesg url got a little beat up.... [06:07] Hey xD [06:08] siva40801: then that is defined in ~/.bashrc or /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/environment [06:08] wow I can't even /me with this client [06:08] Leo13, if you want portability go for Python... it could give you less headaches + there are good bindings in GTK && QT [06:09] phyton [06:09] thus is cross platform [06:09] what is the syntax [06:09] like [06:09] /me cries [06:09] nothing wrong with java... [06:09] im used to c like syntax [06:09] it's very similar [06:09] had a hard time with ruby already [06:09] hoping someone can help me with a shell script >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070749/ [06:10] ya ain't goin' to have much hard time with it [06:10] Python it is then [06:10] psytonic, I would if I had a browser! [06:10] litropy: rop the first space [06:10] litropy: just a thought. Have you tried purging fglrx? Then trying the nouveau drivers? [06:10] actionparsnip, this client doesn't /me. so I'm pseudo /me [06:10] http://www.python.org <-- the way to go [06:10] 'ing [06:10] Leo13: why python over java? [06:10] ActionParsnip, Can you give me that command again? Something died on my machine. And a little bit inside me. [06:11] Psytonic, java is ugly :p === DeviantSOP is now known as Killeroid [06:11] :O [06:11] LiquidEdge: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark' [06:11] take that back! [06:11] hate java [06:11] pfft [06:11] hehehe [06:11] Can I has some commands? [06:12] Psytonic: why don't you just log in as root and go full retard, much easier [06:12] i though u guy would be against .Net [06:12] like I can do all with python [06:12] much faster and less brainstorming than java [06:12] ActionParsnip: ...its for a script? [06:12] imetallica: fair enough [06:12] only language I dislike as much as I do with java is C# [06:12] Psytonic: i'm not sure that the visudo command can be manipulated in that way [06:13] hehehe [06:13] it can [06:13] it works, the issue i [06:13] tried to understand once [06:13] 'm having is the the conditional [06:13] ActionParsnip:Have you got any-more ideas about Nvidia?? [06:13] Psytonic: why are you hitting enter after nearly every other word, it makes no sense [06:13] K. I'm headed over to +1. If you message me, I MAY get it ... [06:13] too brainstorming for me [06:14] typo: different keyboard than I'm used to [06:14] Psytonic: you could also ask in #bash for help with bash conditons [06:14] ActionParsnip: ta [06:14] litropy: I'm far from an expert but it looks to me like the proprietary driver is causing the segfault. Personally I'd clean out that driver and try to get to a basic working system. Then approach getting proprietary driver working. [06:14] wylde, which proprietary driver? [06:15] did u made the updates? after updating the kernel I could install fine my video card drivers [06:16] guys can i ask u a quick question about the drivers in ubuntu and linux [06:16] wylde, all I've got is a command prompt. I'd be googling how to install a generic ati driver, if I could. [06:16] in general [06:16] wylde, run, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, reboot and try to reinstall the restricted drivers, the updated version one. [06:16] imetallica, I am up to date. [06:16] imetallica: I'm not the one having the problem. [06:16] Leo13, shoot it [06:17] ah k, sry... sleepy here :P [06:17] imetallica, any idea what the command for resricted driver install would be? [06:17] do u guys write the drivers [06:17] for ubuntu [06:17] or the manufacturers do ? [06:17] jockey-gtk on terminal [06:17] Leo13: bit of both [06:17] or jockey-text [06:18] brb, trying jockey-text [06:18] woow [06:18] a bit inestable [06:18] imetallica [06:19] hello [06:19] Leo13, ? [06:19] anyine IN HERE speak chinese? [06:19] it would be alot better [06:19] if the anufacturer provides the drivers [06:19] i have a question, how can i trigger a sound when have a liferea notifiation? [06:19] notification sorry [06:19] i have a question, how can i trigger a sound when have a liferea notification? [06:20] how can I set my messenger status to be automaticaly online after boot? [06:20] Leo13, that's true... but not all manufacturers have good support for Linux. A good example who explode in the media recently is nVidia [06:20] ATI is the one with the best support for Linux atm. [06:21] really , you would think that nvidia [06:21] would do a nice job on that [06:21] then is gonna be pretty hard for users [06:21] to make the change men [06:21] I saw a e-mail from the mailing list about a kernel developer answering a question from an employee from nvidia [06:22] it was hilarious [06:23] Leo13, there you go -> http://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/ksummit-2012-discuss/2012-June/000304.html [06:23] I wanna make a facebook app, but it requires https url.

[07:15] need help with ethernet new to IRC. help please? [07:16] how do I copy and paste from the CLI? (I have no GUI running) [07:17] try Ctrl + SHIFT + V [07:17] to paste [07:17] but how do I copy? [07:17] so we do get help on IRC :) [07:18] CTRL SHIFT C [07:18] +C [07:18] gRAVIty__ caf4926 that doesn't work from tty CLI [07:19] have you used your mouse? [07:19] BlackDalek, what are you trying to do [07:19] gRAVIty__: there is NO mouse. there is NO display manager/gui etc. [07:19] you know about TAB to auto complete? [07:20] I am trying to work out how to copy and paste text from the screen. [07:20] BlackDalek, but why [07:21] caf4926: incase there is something useful in dmesg output which I should copy and paste into here ;) [07:22] skule: use "dist-upgrade" instead [07:22] BlackDalek, you should send it to a txt file [07:22] been struggling with this for the past four days http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2010190 [07:22] skule: upgrade will never change dependencies, but dist-upgrade will, thats the reason why it is kept back [07:23] caf4926: how? using pipe? something like "dmseg | filename.txt ? Is that right? [07:24] BlackDalek, for example if you are working from your user login and you did lspci -nnk > info.txt [07:24] BlackDalek: dmesg | grep searchstring > filename.txt is the way i would go [07:25] you get a file info.txt in your home [07:25] yes [07:25] I think so [07:25] @iceroot : can you help with ethernet problem? [07:25] gRAVIty__: sorry i have a call now [07:25] ok.. so dmesg > filename.txt would copy everything to a file? [07:25] BlackDalek: yes [07:25] anyone tried a paid codec pack before? [07:25] sure i will wait [07:26] BlackDalek, once you have your info it can be easier for you to boot a live cd or work from a second computer [07:26] @caf4926: waiting for your to be free :) [07:27] gRAVIty__, come again [07:27] caf4926: been struggling with ethernet for the past four days http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2010190 [07:28] have to use windows to IRC :( [07:28] gRAVIty__, I use carl4926 in the forum [07:29] caf4926: great. should I send a pm there? [07:29] gRAVIty__, let me look at the thread BRB [07:29] sure [07:30] caf4926: isn't there some cli text file editor i could use to copy info rather that going to the trouble of booting a live session? [07:32] @BlackDalek- He is viewing a thread on ubuntuforums.org will take a few moments till he gets back [07:32] no problem ;) [07:33] What is the GUI name to configure the sources from where download software updates ? [07:33] gRAVIty__, that's a puzzle for sure [07:34] lol.ok. anything which I can do? [07:34] looks like I am going to be stuck to windows for a while [07:34] gRAVIty__, When you run 12.04 from the Live cd how is the network then? [07:34] same problems [07:34] when i run on live cd [07:35] gRAVIty__, what about wireless? [07:35] i dont have a wifi router here :( [07:35] new connection. The old DSL router does not work with this [07:35] gRAVIty__, thing is, hardwire should just work [07:36] Hi All. Just me, or is googles chrome playing up on some pages on 12.04 for others as well. Has been fine for ages on 12.04, noticed it in last couple of weeks. any updates in this time for either that may affect it? Switching back to chromium seems to work fine [07:36] gRAVIty__, it's almost unheard of for it not to [07:36] ya. i used several previous versions of ubuntu. did not have a problem with ethernet [07:36] BlackDalek, I can't really say, I don't know how anyway... [07:37] ok [07:37] can you explain more about the problem so that i can dig more on google myself? [07:37] the problem is i dont even understand what to look for :P [07:37] gRAVIty__, I'm not sure I do either [07:37] caf4926: Thanks for your time :) [07:37] gRAVIty__, I'm not a network guru [07:38] can u suggest some one?

[07:41] lightdm [07:42] BlackDalek, you mean to change to another terminal and start the GUI? interested myself, not even sure if this can be done. will keep eyes out for the answer [07:43] I mean something like "sudo init lightdm start" or words to that effect....

I can mount them w/ sshfs, but that's not very convenient to do every time I start my computer. Also, I'd need to have both computers on for that to work. Is there any better way? [07:50] ICWiener: Ubuntuone? [07:50] Not over internet. Not w/ HughesNet [07:52] Any better ideas? [07:53] ICWiener, you're fine with sshfs but you'd like it to start automatically ? [07:53] Yeah. Ima use it for porn and don't wanna go through a lot of trouble [07:54] I have a 10GB partition on each computer that mounts at startup [07:54] I wanna have those two sync every chance they get [07:55] rsync and a cron job perhps. [07:55] or a version control system [07:55] sort of depends on wwhat dagtga is on them and how much is changeing ;) [07:55] as to whats more effective [07:55] rsync? [07:55] What's that about? [07:56] !rsync [07:56] rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync [07:56] if the 2 pcs are on the same lan. you could just share the directory. no need for 2 copies [07:57] I have a major issue [07:57] They aren't always connected. It's for porn between my laptop and my desktop. [07:57] First off, I've experienced what can only be seen as the same exact bug on 3 separate computers, each running different Ubuntu-based distros... the computer will freeze, for no discernable reason, and no input will be taken, I cannot use any keyboard shortcuts to change the tty, cannot interact with the window manager, and cannot do anything other than Alt-SysRq-B to reboot [07:57] !info unison [07:57] unison (source: unison): file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.40.65-1ubuntu1 (precise), package size 616 kB, installed size 1690 kB [07:58] This problem plagues my computer, running Pinguy 12.04 64 bit, my wives computer, running Pinguy 11.04 32 bit, and a friends computer, he's running Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit [07:58] I just restarted after this incident. I have a dmesg output [07:58] http://pastebin.com/vwVaaYZf [07:58] hi all [07:59] hello [07:59] well pleased with this setup [08:00] how to speed up sftp transfers, iam using filzilla [08:00] i got an old knackered p4-m laptop with 512 MB RAM running a 200x CF card in an ide adapter using xubuntu it is lighting fast [08:00] boots in about 8 seconds shuts down in 5 [08:00] how to speed up sftp transfers, iam using filzilla *(how about multiple commenctions for same transfer?) [08:01] Nillerz, has this happend since install or is it recent [08:02] It's been happening to all our computers on and off after the install [08:03] Some days it isn't an issue other days it is. [08:03] I just recently installed the 64 bit os, hoping that would solve the issues, no avail [08:03] Does anynor know how to use squid to cache hot videos? [08:03] We are all using different PCs and have completely different setups. [08:04] Nillerz, it's particularly odd that it's affecting different pc's [08:04] Nillerz, I have not seen this at all [08:04] I was guessing it was a fairly common bug considering it did, across different distros and different machines. [08:05] I'm trying to think of common factors [08:05] test with a live cd, see if it affects a live cd also... [08:05] the only one I can think of is the partitioning scheme, I partitioned them all in a similar fashion [08:05] Nillerz: have you checked the logfiles for loglines around the time of a freeze? /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/syslog [08:05] dr_willis, I would do that but it might take hours of regular use on a live-cd [08:06] Nillerz, partitioned how? [08:06] geirha, I have included a dmesg output above [08:06] Nillerz: That looks like a normal boot. Did it freeze during boot? [08:07] the dmesg output is so long... its pratically unuseable. :) i dident notice anything standing out about it.. but im on my phone. so its hard to read [08:07] Nillerz, I'd expect to see: swap, root ext4 and perhaps also /home ext4 [08:07] caf4926, we all have somewhere between 10-20 gb ext3 for a root partition, me and my wife both have twice as much swap space as ram (I have 8 gigs of ram, she has 3), and our home folder is in a different partition, and is partitioned as ext3, uses the rest of our hard drive [08:08] geirha, I can't get a dmesg output before restarting, I can't do ANYTHING before restarting [08:08] why are you using ext3 and not ext4 ? [08:08] Nillerz, check .xsession-errors [08:08] dr_willis, the exact reasoning is unknown, but I remember I had a very very good reason for it in the past [08:08] Nillerz: dmesg output is continously written to syslog... [08:09] caf4926, where is that located? [08:09] hidden /home/username [08:09] geirha, where can I find that? [08:09] Nillerz: /var/log/dmesg iirc (I'm not on Ubuntu right now) [08:09] Nillerz: /var/log/syslog may also have clues [08:10] http://pastebin.com/gNhH053z [08:11] geirha, http://pastebin.com/35XFgcmK [08:11] that is the contents of /var/log/dmesg === Lloir|ZzZz is now known as Lloir [08:13] Nillerz: That's just this boot. It must've been logrotated. previous one should be /var/log/dmesg.0 or .1 or so [08:13] roger, I'll check... [08:15] Hi there, i've ported dreamweaver using wine, and it works if i run wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Adobe/Dreamweaver.exe" so i add a launcher shortcut and select run application in terminal. This also works fine (but opens a terminal too), as its a gui, i want to open the program normally, but if i create a launcher without using the terminal, so just application, nothing happens? [08:16] AdvoWork: Open a terminal and run tail -F ~/.xsession-errors click on your launcher and see what appears in that terminal [08:20] or perhaps make a script that launches the app. then make a launcher that runs the script. ;) [08:20] or check out other wine app .desktop files that have been made and see what they do [08:21] Odd the installation didn't add one already really [08:22] or he dident look.

[08:24] !nick [08:24] Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with freenode. [08:26] Could I make my computer any harder to get to?

Not having any luck with LibreOffice Base [08:31] It just happened again [08:31] geirha, caf4926, dr_willis, I am going to note that I could, in fact, move the mouse after it froze up on me [08:32] Nillerz, OK [08:32] Nillerz, but you could perform any action such as open a terminal and say run: top [08:32] theres some known 'usb keybord not responding' issues. You could check ghee forums and askubuntu.com see if any seem similer [08:32] no [08:32] I couldn't switch to other ttys [08:32] could you ssh in? [08:33] dr_willis, I don't thnk that was the case, first off because my pc was not responsive to clicks, and also because I reset the computer using alt-sysrq-b [08:34] I don't have the tools available right now to attempt an ssh connection [08:34] ive had X lock up totally and ssh still works [08:34] dr_willis, good idea [08:34] I will try to do that in the future if the problem persists [08:35] Nillerz, you'll need to setup ssh on one machine, perhaps the most likely one to be affected [08:35] theres also alt-sysreq-SOMTHING that closes X. but i forget what combo it is [08:35] now, I have a gunzipped file and a plaintext file in /var/log [08:35] one is called dmesg.1.gz and the other is called dmesg.0 [08:35] then I'd have to network the computers [08:36] i cant imagine why you wouldent want them networked ;;) [08:36] thats half the fun [08:36] dr_willis, I'm actually deployed for the military right now, so my network here isn't nearly as awesome as the one I have at home [08:37] !dontzap [08:37] !nozap [08:37] !doublenegativezap [08:37] Theres some way to restaart X with the sysreq-key and K i think [08:38] although I do occasionally use dd-wrt on my router to wirelessly connect to my 3g wireless-hotspot-modem (the only way to get internet here) so I can have LAN parties with Minecraft while having the internet still function for me [08:38] dr_willis, I'm going to quickly google that [08:38] crtl-alt-backspace if you have the dontzap flag set in xorg.conf [08:38] used to be the old alt-ctrl-delete did it.. but thats disabled now [08:38] yea bacckapsace :) thats the old skool way [08:38] I can guess why... [08:38] ive nevver accidently hit alt-ctrl-delete in years of pc ussage... so noi idea why.. [08:39] I'm using openbox, it doesn't do anything for me. :P [08:39] i literally CANt use the alt-sysreq-whatever key sequence on many of my machines (laptops) [08:39] but if I were to start using Linux for the first time and were coming from Windows, and something wasn't working right, ctrl-alt-del is the first thing I'd do [08:40] Anyway.... [08:40] one is called dmesg.1.gz and the other is called dmesg.0 [08:40] alt-ctrl-del = reboot the machine. If you are on the console. [08:40] which is an older log-file? [08:40] 1 = older [08:40] .2 = even older [08:40] okay, let's crack that one open then...

[09:10] how do i fix it? [09:10] what is 12/.04? [09:10] it's called an LTS, doesn't mean that is what it's currently capable of [09:10] 10.04 is only real LTS right now, my opinion [09:10] What do I do in this case?

I think i had to let putty generagte the keys then concert them to a format ubuntu could use. then copied them over. beena while since ive lasgt used putty [09:49] dr_willis: thanks i followed a guide but i get server refused our key [09:49] actually no [09:50] that couldn't have been the time [09:50] fidel, it's about Blender [09:50] its no biggie id just like it to be seamless :D [09:50] because I was posting about this issue long before that [09:50] ninjah: dont talk to me - talk to the channel. thx [09:50] and everything in between [09:50] I'm guessing I had the last crash at around 11:45 [09:50] riktking: it may need to be converted. i seem to recall putty using some dfiffernt format. [09:50] ok [09:50] what's wrong with you ? [09:50] if anyone could find the last thing I posted before the last crash and when I joined again, x-chat won't let me scrollup that far... [09:50] you were asking me what's the problem [09:51] and i said it to YOU, dear fidel [09:51] !logs [09:51] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [09:51] ninjah: do you need ubuntu help ?

If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [09:55] can someone say my name plz [09:55] why no jokes? are we all turning into SOMETHING that's glued to the monitor, keyboard and a mouse? why can't be more casual about it? === xujun is now known as xujun10110 [09:56] ninjah thats what #ubuntu-offtopic is for.

I've downloaded the latest driver 3.9.17-NAPI and "make installed" it. I see /lib/modules/3.2.0-26-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe.ko is overwritten by a newer file. I've rebooted the server but ethtool -i eth4 still shows version 3.6.7-k??? After rmmod ixgbe ; modprobe ixgbe the ethtool command shows the correct version. How can I fix t [09:57] his? [09:57] xujun10110 [09:57] clear [09:57] I-0 /clear in irc [09:58] so the probably FAQ question is: i have upgraded and updated the ubuntu studio. tried to render a minute and some secs of a, lets' say a demo for a cartoon [09:58] guys who can tell me the non interactive version of sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable ?

The supported ways to hide your IP address on freenode are to use !Tor or get a !cloak === CtrlAltDel is now known as turbomettwurst [09:59] !cloak [09:59] To get any kind of cloak (ubuntu member or any other kind) you first need to set up your nick as detailed in this FAQ: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup - For Ubuntu member cloaks, ask in #ubuntu-irc and provide your launchpad page, for unaffiliated ones, ask in #freenode. [10:00] I-0, I'm in a country that blocks internet access. I need to get around these.

[10:08] dr_willis, ok, thank you [10:09] c0rnel: can't say i use anything else really, i hardly print to paper [10:09] does anyone know of a ubuntu related pill reminder alarm that can wake someone up to take meds?

[10:21] Elchzard: Apparently it must be connected to a terminal, but telling screen to not attach should suffice. [10:22] Does anyone know how to use squid to cache hot videos? [10:22] geirha: -rmS ? [10:22] * -dmS [10:22] Elchzard: Remove all the '&' you've randomly littered your script with. They serve no purpose [10:23] That's an old iteration, i think they're mainly gone now :p [10:23] Why do you want to run it in screen? [10:23] Elchzard: I don't remember the screen options for that off-hand. #screen can probably better help you with the options [10:23] Dr_O: If I run without screen, it gives its output directly to the terminal I ./unusedfiles.sh from [10:23] So redirect the output to a log file? [10:24] hi there, im accessing my dedicated server via https://whatever:whatever and its giving me a The sites security certificate is not trusted(in chrome) any idea how I fix that, in 12.04? [10:24] if i use elit proxy then upto how much they will be referesh ? please help me ,its my homework [10:25] Elchzard: Also consider reading the BashGuide (See /topic #bash). That script is overly complicated and error prone; best learn bash properly. [10:25] Elchzard: ( my-verbosescript >/my.log 2>&1 ) & [10:25] the ( and ) serve no purpose there [10:26] I was about to say that! [10:26] * Dr_O hangs head in shame!

I've just installed x11vnc on my ubuntu machine, than rebooted [10:28] * xujun10110 [10:28] * xujun10123 [10:28] now I'm trying to connect again to the vnc server but...it doesn't works [10:28] the screen is at the login point [10:28] should I login, than start the vnc client? [10:29] can i just copy paste this and it will work? does all of that go into /bin/bash or is it a conkyrc file? [10:30] geirha : can you suggest me good lessons for this [10:30] !enter [10:30] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[10:32] the idea is that I wanna get rid of the monitor, but control the desktop via vnc [10:32] so I need some way to start the vnc server without a monitor, via bash === Raines is now known as Rains === __NiC is now known as _NiC [10:33] hah, after logging out (from the X server) the vnc connection crashed [10:33] Razva: ensure your vnc service of choise is started during boot [10:34] so I suppose that, via bash, I need to somehow...login...? [10:34] Razva: login via ssh - setup vnc service - reboot - try to connect with your vnc-client to your vnc-server [10:35] at least thats some way of mini-test i would do to ensure the service is running directly after booting [10:35] croz: copy paste what? [10:36] geirha : is proxy make internet slow ? when i visit http://www.proxynova.com/proxy-server-list/ , there i found elit proxy , i found their life very less .Sorry to ask stupid question as i don't know any thing about proxy .Is proxy have some life time ? [10:36] you can start a vnc session from rc.local or on the fly as a service [10:36] Razva: you know that X is network aware and so you can just ssh in with X forwarding and run remotely (if you have a local X server) [10:37] fidel: lol, I've just started x11vnc with -create, and it created me a...bash console... :)) ok, so the next question would be: is there any way to arrive at the login screen without being logged in to X already? [10:38] Dr_O: no, the client is on windows [10:38] the thing I wanna do is simple: give each person a way to login to their own user, on X, on the server [10:38] Razva: use a different vnc server. no visible x session needed to be ran on the server [10:39] ssh in. run vncserver. get own vnc desktop. [10:39] dr_willis: ok, any recommendations? I've tried x11vnc but seems that it doesn't has no visible x session... [10:39] connect with vnc client. repeat for others [10:40] most vnc servers work the way i said. x11vnc is an exception [10:40] as is vino [10:40] ah, ok [10:40] is there an easy way to get gimp-2.8 on ubuntu-12.04 without using a repository that has known issues?

[10:40] You could check out NX technology for this use case. reall shame freenx never hit it big [10:40] bbl [10:40] tightvncserver < this should do tha trick?

[15:23] */15 0-9,10-21,22-0 * * * /usr/bin/php processJob=flushemailqueue [15:23] webm & ogg/theora all have video playback. no sound though [15:23] if only I could find a piece of relevant information; this is in no way easy to search [15:23] */15 0-9,10-21,22-0 * * * /usr/bin/php processJob=pullamazonorders [15:23] sn_joe: ? [15:23] whats good [15:23] looking for info on using sudo comaans [15:24] shaneo: what hardware are you using please? [15:24] comands [15:24] and yes glitsj16 , they try to call at the same time. [15:24] !sudo | Halifax [15:24] Halifax: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [15:24] hda-intel [15:24] gry, ^ [15:24] yes, but what machine manufacturer / model ? [15:24] gry, Intel IbexPeak HDMI [15:24] sn_joe, why call php directly instead of using a shebang? in any case as long as is a full path that should be fine [15:25] shaneo: intel isn't a laptop manufacturer is it ? [15:25] escott: I guess I'm too new to this to know what a shebang is. Yes, I use the full path. [15:25] gry, lol sorry its an acer aspire [15:25] sn_joe, #!/usr/bin/php on the first line of the php script [15:26] how do you rebot entire ubuntu system to recognize a different pc. formated the hard drive on a notebook presario. then installed the hard drive on asus veriton m460 , but still says user pc notbook [15:26] escott: OK. What does that do? [15:26] ok, let's see if that brings any light to the problem [15:26] gry, ok [15:26] sn_joe, means you dont have to specify the interpreter. when trying to execute a file the kernel looks for a binary image and failing that looks for a shebang and uses that to exec the script [15:27] shaneo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/Old/AcerAspire5050 No sound unless you turn the "Surround" column up in alsamixer. [15:27] shaneo: do you have alsamixer installed? [15:27] gry, yes i do [15:27] is there a gui I can install to open network servers in 12.04 ? [15:27] escott: is that an 'either or' or is there an advantage to using shebang? [15:27] shaneo: ok, what's up with its surround column right now? [15:27] gry, there isnt one [15:27] anyone know how to reboot entire ubuntu eithout flash drive or cd drive [15:27] sn_joe, if you specify the interpreter then the shebang will be ignored [15:28] Halifax: same as with a flash drive or cd drive [15:28] gry, I have a digital column with nothing in it [15:28] Halifax: or do you mean actually "boot up" [15:28] escott: So basically it just sets a default interpreter. [15:28] dont know how new user to ubuntu. running cario dock with gnome plus effects [15:28] shaneo: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav <-- do you hear sound when you run that? [15:28] sn_joe, yes [15:29] Halifax: I suggest reading https://help.ubuntu.com it will show you the basics of how to use your ubuntu system [15:29] ty ikonia. [15:29] escott: Well thanks for that. I'll see about that in the future but right now I just need to figure out why this script doesn't work [15:29] gry, nope [15:29] gry, ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [15:29] gry, aplay: main:564: audio open error: Device or resource busy [15:29] sn_joe: have you confirmed that both scripts work independently of each other? [15:30] sn_joe, when you call it manually are there any important environment variables [15:30] need help on this http://imagebin.org/219196 [15:30] gry, alsamixer layout https://dl.dropbox.com/u/36976460/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-02%2011%3A28%3A36.png [15:30] gry, also it might help to tell you that my laptop only has one speaker and its on the lefy [15:30] *left [15:31] kaya, either click cancel or report problem [15:32] I'm using the zend framework. The gateway script loads the basic environment and autoloaders and then creates a class called job. That class switches based on the single parameter jobName and creates a class of the job type. Those classes implement an interface that includes a simple script that executes some job. Both objects can be created without issue and both 'start' methods run correctly and independently. [15:32] Good morning everyone! [15:32] I have logging in the 'job' to tell me when one gets created. I'm only seeing the one getting hit === hari_ is now known as harikt [15:33] sn_joe, and what does the logging show when the second job is called [15:33] ikonia: there? I am on windows now :( ethernet has stopped working both with acpi=off and acip=on [15:33] The logging never gets hit [15:33] shaneo: ok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071468/ is your problem as I currently see it, I'm trying to find a way to troubleshoot that [15:34] gry, ok thanks much [15:34] sn_joe, does your logging at least show the cron job starts? [15:34] escott: No. [15:35] escott: It does when I process the mailqueue but not when I try to pull the amazon orders [15:35] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071472/ still ethernet is not working [15:35] gRAVIty_: which options did you boot with ? [15:36] sn_joe, well without knowing more about the script we can't say if there is something wrong with the cron job statement that you showed above, or if the script is bombing out before logging [15:36] ikonia: both with on and off. ethernet did not work for both [15:36] I have an ubuntu server install on a dead HDD, but the data is still accessible. If I back up /etc, /var/www, and the list of installed packages, should that be enough to restore it on a new install? [15:36] !clone | ilmpc [15:36] ilmpc: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [15:36] ikonia: now I am on windows 7 [15:36] gRAVIty_: which option did you use [15:36] has anyone had experience with running Ubuntu 10.04 on Xenserver 6.0.2? [15:36] And my logic is telling me that the 'job' class can't be to blame or it wouldn't work with processEmailQueue [15:36] ikonia: i dont follow [15:37] gRAVIty_: I gave you two specific kernel boot options to try, which ones did you use [15:37] escott: the drive is unbootable, so I can't do that. And I'm more interested in the configuration than the package list itself. [15:37] sn_joe, ive never found logic to be much help in dealing with bugs [15:37] !chroot | ilmpc [15:37] acpi=off [15:37] ilmpc: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [15:37] escott: *sigh* Indeed. [15:37] ikonia: acpi=off [15:37] gRAVIty_: ok, did you try the "noapci" option as I said [15:38] escott: if I chroot in, will is use the host system or the chroot's /bin, /sbin, etc? Because most of the coreutils are corrupted [15:38] ikonia: damn! i think i am trying acpi instead of apci. let me do all these things again and get back to u [15:38] ilmpc, chroot's [15:38] sn_joe: i'm with escott, might be a race-condition, might be your db (i assume processing amazon orders is done from db) .. this could be a job for some serious php profiling/debugging.. [15:38] ilmpc: if you chroot you are in a fake root. [15:38] gRAVIty_: I'm about to leave for an hour or so [15:38] escott: that poses somewhat of a problem then. [15:39] ikonia: sure. will report to you after an hour [15:39] still waiting for help about a HW issue - the Pinnacle 700-USB drivers... anyone? [15:39] escott: glitsj16 , Both scripts use the database, yes. [15:39] sn_joe, you are running things at the same time so if there is some single resource that needs to be acquired one of the scripts would fail [15:39] ikonia: if you are ok with any other mode of communication. tha twould be great too. (mail or forum) [15:40] gRAVIty_: I don't have any other forms of communication [15:40] hey, can anybody help me out with an easy question i have? [15:40] gRAVIty_: best use the channel then others can help too [15:40] escott: glitsj16 , how do I tell the cron to wait one more second before firing? */15 0-9,10-21,22-0 * * * [15:40] Koby: if you just ask, people will try to help [15:40] ikonia: Thanks. will do that. apci=off, noapci right ? [15:40] sn_joe: best advise i can come up with as it stands is trying to incorporate some time-lag in your logic and in your cron timing both [15:41] gRAVIty_: hang on [15:41] ikonia: ok [15:41] sn_joe, i would just make a shell script that calls to the two php scripts. that way you guarantee the first finishes before calling the second [15:41] sn_joe, a more general concern is what is going to happen when those scripts take 16minutes [15:41] I am trying to use the usb dongle in the ad-hoc mode on beagleboard-xm (that runs ubuntu 12.04). I am able to connect to my access point through the dongle. However I could not use it on the ad-hoc mode. I am using these commands: http://pastebin.com/kTMkgCDx I wonder if someone can tell me what is wrong with the settings or advise anything to make it work? the doggle is micronext mn-wd 152B that has RTL8188CUS chipset [15:41] hai [15:41] gRAVIty_: it's 39 < gRAVIty_> ikonia: sure. will report to you after an hour [15:41] 16:3oops [15:41] sorry [15:41] small problem with unity notifications [15:41] they ain't working [15:42] I'm a bit confused. Do the services in /etc/init.d run AFTER all the upstart services in /etc/init ? [15:42] ikonia: 39? i dont follow [15:42] gRAVIty_: it's 'acpi=off' and 'noapic' [15:42] when I recieve a notification, it uses the xfce notifications, not the unity notifications [15:42] gRAVIty_: they are the two options [15:42] gRAVIty_: note the differences [15:42] the email queue never gets that full and if we start to get that much demand, we'll use a third party to send them. The amazon orders, I can't go beyond a few minutes on that script before amazon throttles me back./ [15:43] ikonia: sure got that. I didi the acpi=off irght. i just have to try noapic [15:43] gRAVIty_: go for it [15:43] i can disabled desktop rigth click menu in gnome? [15:43] oh ok, I think the sound folk quit as I was helping too long [15:43] sn_joe, famous last words [15:43] ikonia: thanks :( [15:43] ikonia: thanks :)( [15:43] pistolas kai gamo ta onomata [15:43] Thanks. I'm running lubuntu Oneiric Ocelot, and on the update manager it is offering an upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04. If I click Upgrade Now, will it change my OS from Lubuntu to Ubuntu? [15:43] escott: What do you recommend? [15:43] Koby: no, it will not [15:44] Thanks a lot, have a wonderful day! [15:44] sn_joe: escott had the best idea really, call one script from cron and migrate your logic there, at least that's worth a shot before pulling out your php hairs debugging [15:44] sn_joe, you have to incorporate that into your design in some fashion. best is to have it in the database and you lock the records before you process them. if thats not possible make a shell script. the script should begin with a test to see if a lock file exists, if it doesn't touch the file, then process, then cleanup and delete the file [15:45] escott: glitsj16 , Thanks. That will get me moving on this. I really appreciate your help and expertise. [15:45] sn_joe: welcome, and good luck [15:46] guys [15:46] sn_joe, #!/bin/bash if [ -e /tmp/job_lock_file_whatever ] ; then; echo "file exists"; else touch /tmp/job_lock_file; /usr/bin/php ; /usr/bin/php; rm /tmp/job_lock_file; fi [15:46] how do I get unity to use the unity notifications not the xfce notifications [15:47] rymate1234: if you don't like xfce's notifier, make sure you remove that and install notify-osd [15:48] notify-osd is already the newest version. [15:49] rymate1234: i guess xfce will have started xfce4-notifyd before notify-osd, resulting in the second one not starting [15:49] gry, i performed this tutorial yesterday could it have affected me http://www.stchman.com/alsa_update.html [15:50] uninstall xfce4-notifyd [15:50] rymate1234: sudo apt-get purge xfce4-notifyd [15:50] even better [15:50] hello. for some reason my ubuntu server can`t solve dns anymore [15:51] other computers from the same network don`t have this problem [15:51] kk removed [15:51] how to start notify-osd [15:52] ikonia: noapic says Error: command not found [15:52] burg: can you still ping other machines?

There's something I'm not doing right and it keeps going back to a previous setting every time I reboot. [15:55] burg: that looks like your router or gateway, which is not correct for a nameserver usually, try 8.8.8.8 which is the google dns server [15:55] Gentoorax, it works now, thank you [15:56] burg: no problem. [15:56] Hy guys, I might be off topic. But there still might me a kind soul so here goes... I'm trying to make a bash script, that will take a picture if login is bad.

Thanks in advance [15:57] what is mysql-client for [15:57] apple314, try #bash [15:57] burg: You might want to check it sticks around after a reboot, ubuntu has tools these days which can automatically overwrite this file. I think there is a connection manager application manager somewhere that you can set this in, if it doesn't survive the reboot.

[17:15] Thank you Dr_willis [17:15] BluesKaj, it doesn't show what the filesystem, only how big each partition will be. [17:16] chamomile, you shouldn't be using "grub" you should be using "grub-install" and "update-grub" [17:16] escott, no, it is installed now.

If my drive is 100 gigs, I move a slider around, so that one side will say 20 - 80, 40 - 60, etc. [17:20] arash_: ffmpeg -i -f flv [17:20] in the simplest form [17:20] if I chose 40 - 60 for example, I don't know if 40 is the amount it will allocate to windows or to ubuntu [17:20] StevenXL, i'm afraid i've never used it. if you are comfortable with using gparted you could reboot the livecd, and select "try ubuntu" then you can use gparted directly [17:20] BluesKaj, the whole hdd right now is ntfs file system [17:20] Thank you solarisboy [17:21] escott, yea, I will use gparted. [17:21] sure arash_ [17:21] Quick question, how big should my swap partition be? [17:21] or do I even need one? [17:21] it's been a long time since I installed ubuntu. [17:21] StevenXL, the old recommendation was 2xRAM. i still say 2xRAM makes sense, but not everyone agrees [17:22] if you got 32gb of ram.. :) you most likely wont need 64gb of swap... [17:22] you would know if you need a lot of swap .. [17:22] like Dr_Willis said the rule starts to break down eventually =) [17:22] swap=ram+a little bit more - so you xan use hibernate/suspend if needed.. is the general rule these days [17:23] I say if you have 32GB of ram you probably have enough disk that you wouldn't notice losing 64GB to swap :) [17:23] looks like i have 6 gb of ram [17:23] well you'll notice if you actually start using it lol [17:23] StevenXL: so 6gb of swap wouldbe a safe amount. perhaps 6.5 or 7 gb.

[17:30] shaneo: I don't have extensive hardware, kernel modules, or scripting experience.

[17:32] dougl, the last drivers from nvidia don't require fixes [17:32] Totally awesome, thanks forspareparts [17:32] all the problem you have are probably related to ubuntu management of such things or the fact they ship aeons old drivers [17:32] sab0: Mind this WILL put you into the problem of not getting latest Clamav updates from the PPA, while you'll still be getting the updates from the main repository -- we will re-add the ppa if the update and upgrade are successful. [17:32] weltall, Hey!!! nice to see you - thanks for your blog posts... "the last drivers from nvidia don't require fixes" oh? [17:33] WeThePeople, running as a daemon you mean not listening to its parent? or is a service running? [17:33] gry, i already deleted that ppa from my source list [17:33] 302.17 is the last driver [17:33] anon_, glad to help. I'm very new to this, myself. Working with Ubuntu has been highly rewarding, but also very frustrating at times. [17:33] anything else is old [17:33] gry, thanx i only started out like that as I have a few questions so i will toss out the first one [17:33] gry, but still having some erro [17:33] sab0: Did you save the file? [17:33] escott, what file system should i use for ubuntu? [17:33] ext2, 3, or 4? [17:33] weltall, will go to the site and dl 302.17 [17:33] StevenXL, 4 [17:34] gry, which file gry?...i am really sorry to ask this type of quistion, i am novice in ubuntu [17:34] gry, now having this error " W: GPG error: http://archive.canonical.com lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key " [17:34] I have been shown k3b for producing cd's/dvd's but would like to add some pizaz to them like a them where a dvd player will load them like a normal playing dvd [17:34] sab0: It's ok.

It gives you a wealth of neat UI options, and I used it to make my alt-tab a bit more like windows and (more importantly) map my window-resizing to Win Up/Down/Left/Right.

[17:37] it will overwrite the glx drivers and each kernel update will require a manual install of the module [17:37] I spent 10 years using Win98, then the last 4 or 5 using WinXP. So I'm not too spoiled, just stuck in a rutt that I need to get out of lol [17:37] ubottu, can you please tell me how to solve this error...i am really not clear with your solution as i am novice [17:37] sab0: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:37] I need to install Python 2.5 on my newly installed 12.04. Since Google Appengine old projects require Python 2.5, can anyone suggest me how can i get it. [17:37] weltall, gotcha = thanks :) [17:38] Now if I could just remember how to use IRC ^_^ It's gotta be like riding a bike, right? haha [17:38] xangua, gpgerr whats that? [17:38] ra21vi: it supports python 2.7 now: https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/ [17:38] anon_, Ah. The Win7 keybindings I'm referring to made it so that the Windows key plus the arrows would resize a window to the left or right half of the screen, or maximize it. I had no idea how badly I wanted that feature until I discovered it ; ) [17:39] ra21vi: otherwise you are generally building it yourself [17:39] sab0, it means the software is signed by canonical and has been checked not to be maleware [17:39] sab0: sorry, I'll try to go over what happened and help you now [17:39] gry, thank you [17:39] anon_, i feel your pain - was heavily into linux 10-12 years ago and then because of a new job forced back into the winblows realm - it will take a little while but i will get back to where i need to be [17:39] sab0, the error means that the signature is not recognized so its signed by someone, but we don't trust who that person is [17:39] Hmmm that sounds pretty interesting. May come in handy someday [17:40] sab0: As I said before, I think we should just remove a line from sources.list, and then re-add the PPA. The GPG key solution ubottu suggested might be a bit complicated for us this time. [17:40] sab0: To start, run 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and remove the line 48, it's a line before the last line -- add a # to its beginning, and save the file. [17:41] Any recommendations on cd/dvd compilation? [17:41] trism: i think there was python2.5 available in repo. [17:41] gry: sab0 or you could just go to Software Center, Edit, Sourcer and remove it from there [17:41] Well thank you all so much for your time and your help, ty ForSpareParts. I'm gonna start reading and becoming Ubuntu savvy ^_^ [17:41] Does network manager create a tun device for VPN connections or can it if requested?

[17:44] sab0, example : test vs #test [17:45] weltall, you still here? the latest beta drivers did not install either - installer complained about gcc compiler and failed after I ignored the error. [17:45] sab0: To the beginning of the line which contains 'clamav' bit -- it's a line which goes before the last line. [17:45] sab0: So, it would become "# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ppa/ubuntu lucid main". [17:45] you need to install gcc obviously [17:45] and beta is older atm [17:45] !who [17:45] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:46] gry, but i already deleted line 48 which contain clamav, so now where should i add a # ? [17:47] gry, sorry for asking again and again [17:47] nowhere [17:47] weltall, so I actually need 302.17 - I thot it was a typo on 302.07? [17:48] 302.17 are the current stable drivers, there have been no beta since [17:48] sab0: not a problem, if you already deleted it, make sure you saved the file [17:48] sab0: then run 'sudo apt-get update' and see whether you're getting the error still [17:48] Does network manager create a tun device for VPN connections or can it if requested?

Have you installed the latest proprietary drivers (form AMD/NV)? [18:44] which is the commando to copy an file? [18:44] zowsz, cp [18:44] Galvatron, it is the Geforce GT620 card, & have not installed any drivers yet for lack of knowing [18:44] am not a newb, just kinda not a guru [18:44] zowsz, in your command line try 'cp --help' and 'man cp' [18:45] zowsz: "cp" ("cp -r" for folders/directories). [18:45] thakns [18:46] Hetep: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" - it will give you the latest stable drivers from nVidia. [18:47] Hetep: Of course you will have to reboot (not just restart X). === philipballew_ is now known as philipballew [18:48] Galvatron: Doing that will upgrade an open source driveer to the closed source one? It will automatically update from nouveau to nvidia? [18:48] gracias Galvatron [18:48] bobo37773: Yup [18:48] Galvatron: Interesting. [18:48] began looking for drivers when you mentioned such & found the same command suggestions [18:49] This PPA will also keep you up to date with the latest drivers, since it's updated regularly [18:50] so not the necessity to do the sudo apt-get install nvidia current command? [18:50] I ned to change the Ubuntu 11.10 with 12.04. Which is the best way: upgrade or reinstall? [18:51] Hetep: Only if you already have the nvidia-current package installed [18:51] Pici, nvidia installer still says x server is running - any suggestions? [18:53] I have a fresh installation of debian squeeze and I have this error http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6582510 [18:54] I also have raid1 and one partiion as root one as boot and one swap [18:54] any help ? [18:55] anon: askubuntu.com is good for specific questions you might have...as is this channel. [18:55] !backtrack [18:55] 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 [18:56] nknik1: am i missing something? debian squeeze is not ubuntu [18:56] help my kubuntu 12.04 install has gone viral? what can I do to revover? [18:56] but ubuntu is debian based thats whjy I am asking here [18:56] where are panel shortcut config files stored? [18:56] I need to killall x servers and install nvidia drivers from ssh - any help would be appreciated. [18:57] nknik1: better yet, ask in #debian, which is even more Debian-based. we only supposed Ubuntu here. [18:57] hello [18:57] hello [19:00] Help [19:00] change runlevel so x server is not running? [19:00] how do I change runlevel so x is not running? [19:00] Galvatron, fairly certain the recent nvidia drivers were not installed [19:01] BluesKaj, what next [19:02] Networking on my laptop is kaput. Please help. [19:03] how do I stop x server from running so I can work thru ssh? [19:03] to install my nvidia drivers? === Neurotiquette is now known as mdpatrick [19:03] dougiel: what was wrong with the command I gave you? [19:03] Miguelito, open the run command (alt+f2) , gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , then add this line to the bottom if the file and save it , options snd-hda-intel index=0 [19:03] pici does not work [19:03] Pici, nvidia installer says x is still running [19:03] dougiel, service lightdm stop [19:04] lightdm = unknown service [19:05] gdm [19:05] dougiel, are you on kubuntu , if so , sudo service kdm stop [19:06] BluesKaj, i ran that but nothing came up [19:07] BluesKaj, did that ? and nvidia installer still sees x server running and I see graphic artifacts on my display. [19:07] Galvatron, help, the display is left of center, though aside from that, perfect! [19:07] Miguelito, ran what ? [19:08] Galvatron, muchos gracias for your assistance [19:08] this gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [19:08] Hetep: Open the NV panel [19:09] Hetep:: Type "gksu nvidia-settings" [19:09] dougiel, that command has to be run from the TTY , ctl+alt+f1, then stop kdm , the whatever command you were going to do [19:10] Hetep:: Either in the terminal, or in the command bar (Alt + F2) [19:11] Miguelito, in the run command box , use alt+f2 , then the path [19:12] dougiel, try kdm [19:12] is it normal to be having headaches trying to install ubuntu 12.04 with hardware raid/lvm on a uefi system. [19:12] Miguelito, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , then add this line to the bottom if the file and save it , options snd-hda-intel index=0 [19:12] nwilson5, yes, yes, yes :) [19:12] anyone here use conky? I would like to make it not covered up by maximize windows so it behaves just like taskbar, here is a screenshot of what I'm trying to say: http://imagebin.org/219228 [19:13] Galvatron, then what? [19:13] what,nwhich [19:13] Hetep: Adjust the settings [19:13] nwilson5, taking those one by one (a) make sure its real hardware raid and that your kernel and /boot are accessible outside the raid if possible (b) use the alternate cd (c) install grub-efi and hope for the best [19:13] escott: aware of any workarounds/ways of getting grub and graphics working after such an install [19:14] BluesKaj, its not opening the editor [19:14] hm [19:14] nwilson5, none of those should affect graphics though. if your kernel is loading and your / is found then you have no boot-time issues [19:15] Hetep: Primarily the resolution and refresh rate. You must use "Save to X configuration file" to save them permanently. [19:15] ok [19:15] n1ckn4me09876543: set in .conkyrc: own-window-type panel [19:17] n1ckn4me09876543: although it will overlap maximized windows, I don't know if you can make it reserve space like a panel would [19:17] escott: the alternate install cd being a desktop version of ubuntu with debian installer. Doesn't the server edition provide that by default? [19:18] nwilson5, never used the server installer === jglauche__ is now known as jglauche [19:18] ok, well it's the same thing i think. [19:18] Galvatron, how to save them to X configuration file? [19:18] gracias for your help btw [19:18] :) [19:19] Hetep: There's a button for it, whrere you change the resolution and refresh rate. [19:19] My routing table is empty, the computer can't even LOOK for a router, and "Suspend" doesn't work. [19:19] trism: thnx for suggestion that just gave me an idea to make a custom panel where conky resides but is transparent. [19:19] Galvatron, yes, gracias. Just making certain since it gave a "browse" option [19:20] BluesKaj, what is gksudo vs sudo? [19:20] !gksudo | Miguelito [19:20] Miguelito: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [19:21] Hetep: You might want to run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" prior to doing any changes in the panel (you must disable X to do it). [19:21] guntbert, thanx [19:21] Miguelito, open a terminal then , sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf , then add this line to the bottom if the file , options snd-hda-intel index=0 , then alt +o , enter key , then alt+x to save and exit the file [19:21] Anyone knows "mutt" and could help me with config? [19:22] actually settings are now appropriate. Unless a thing needs to be adjusted for preventative measures, think things are good [19:22] Gracias Galvatron, you saved the day! [19:22] Miguelito: To put it as simply as possible: A graphical app + "sudo" = a high chance of messing the access rights. [19:23] Miguelito: Yu might end up with the files in your home directory owned by the root. [19:23] nwilson5, if you want to be more specific about what problems you are having we can be more specific about possible solutions [19:23] Using mutt I get: “imaps://imap.gmail.com:993” does not exist. Create it? [19:23] And if I keep going, I get a smtp URL problem [19:23] guntbert, what's the text editor in unity now , I'm surprissed gksudo gedit didn't work [19:23] Hey I just steam through playonlinux on ubuntu, but I was wondering how you would install games on steam, and how would i make it work on linux? [19:24] yeah! 12.04!! runs just like windows 95 with way better eye candy :) [19:24] BluesKaj: "didnt work" means which error message exactly? [19:24] escott: I'm not the one dealing with the install now but just started looking up things for a coworker. He'd know more specifically what the problem is. But initially he was able to install but wasn't getting grub, now he's able to get grub but it doesn't go past - not sure where specifically it's stopping [19:24] BluesKaj: The text editor haven't been changed since 11.10, so you must have uninstalled it, or so. [19:25] Hey I just steam through playonlinux on ubuntu, but I was wondering how you would install games on steam, and how would i make it work on linux? [19:25] BluesKaj: I sometimes use gedit, it works with gksudo - just tried it :) [19:25] bekks, Galvatron , not for me , i use kde , but gksudo didn't open gedit in the run command [19:25] bonny_: it only works with games that run on linux. so not many [19:26] Can you give me examples of some shooters that might work? [19:26] bonny_: I guess it's not a question for this channel [19:26] Which channel would i ask this question? [19:27] BluesKaj: Then use "kdesu kate" ("kdesudo" from the terminal). [19:27] hi [19:27] i want to change my XF86Back and XF86Forward key to Home and Pos1 [19:27] Galvatron: Where would i ask these questions? [19:27] BluesKaj:: KDE has neither gksu nor Gedit by defaukt and installing the just makes no sense at all. [19:27] BluesKaj, completed the task [19:28] Galvatron, I was trying to help an ubuntu user . [19:28] bonny_: It's a Wine issue, not really a Ubuntu one, so... [19:28] I try to use mutt but I get this: Invalid SMTP URL: “smtp://oliviercarpentier444@smtp.gmail.com:587/” [19:28] hello [19:28] So how do i join wine channel? [19:29] someone can help me?

I have to make a joke [19:32] trism: okay, can you give me a pastebin of entries that would work? [19:32] morphen: read the guidelines that ubottu messaged you and please stop with the porn stuff.

Could anyone help me use get_iplayer and download a bbc programme? my dad was on the torch relay in UK.. [19:34] trism: 10.04 lucid [19:34] This is the url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p00syj9l [19:34] thanks... not used to a lot fo the ubuntu conventions === sattu94 is now known as satyanash [19:34] s/fo/of/ [19:34] Hello guys!! I have ubuntu 11.10 and have 2 NTFS partition before, but now these 2 partition are READ-ONLY, how can I change permissions????? [19:34] vastina: if you have a gui available: gksudo software-properties-gtk; will allow you to add the default repos you need, otherwise you will need at least something like: [19:35] trism: no gui, this is on an appliance :) [19:35] vastina: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main [19:35] HSarena: You'll need to remount read write [19:35] vastina: to get nmap [19:35] HSarena, if they are not in a 'clean' state - you should have windows fsck themto verify they are ok. [19:35] HSarena, then try mounting them again. [19:36] BluesKaj, i wish i could remember what i did to get the system to work with my headset the last time i tried it [19:37] trism: same issue [19:37] Hey [19:37] Miguelito, so do I :) [19:37] vastina: you'd probably want: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main and deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main as well [19:37] i amended the /etc/apt/sources.list file with deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main [19:37] !question | endra [19:37] endra: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [19:37] vastina: you need to run: sudo apt-get update; after making changes [19:37] HSarena, make sure ntfs-3g is installed [19:37] I have a computer a city away that allows guest acccess. Is there a way I can remote into it if I let a roommate login as guest and run some sort of remote desktop/ssh service without giving him the user/root password? [19:38] I'll obviously be able to authenticate afterwards [19:38] endra, no [19:38] Miguelito, run lsusb in the terminal , see if your usb headset and mic show up as a device [19:38] trism: do i need to send an HUP to the apt-get daemon? [19:38] endra, but if he has physical access he already has root. so just give him the password [19:39] vastina: pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update; if you are still having issues (you don't need to do anything else) [19:39] BluesKaj, now u know in phonon i get it to test ok - i just cant switch it to stay there [19:39] escott: I don't want to give him the password :P there must be a way. What if bash is run through nc? I only need bash access so that I can commit code and pull it here [19:39] endra, as a non-priv guest user he cannot start services [19:40] BluesKaj, i believe this is it Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0d9f:0004 Powercom Co., Ltd [19:40] I've asked on the Ubuntu Forums and Ask Ubuntu already (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2013987, http://askubuntu.com/questions/158489/total-networking-fail-w-empty-routing-table-after-accidental-12-04-restart), but it didn't do much good. All I got was a suggestion that it might be a power management problem. [19:41] trism: http://pastebin.com/8RS5sWwg [19:41] Miguelito, probly becausew as soon as you disconnect the heaset phonon devices switches back , check the hardware tab in phonon which is pulseaudio and check the output devices there as well [19:41] escott: it doesn't have to be a service. I can sudo once I have access [19:41] how do I uninstall a kernel from ssh? [19:41] daily compiz crash [19:41] where is the option to make/add "custom panel" in ubuntu 12.04 unity (like you do in gnome) [19:41] endra, doesn't work that way. how is a guest user supposed to start anything that would allow you to login as anything other than him? [19:42] trism: followed your instructions I believe... [19:42] n1ckn4me09876543: if you're talking about what i assume you are, it no longer exists. [19:42] trism: just need my nmap and some sip testing tools [19:42] vastina: did you delete the plain lucid line? (in favor of the lucid-updates one?), you would need both since there is no updated nmap in lucid [19:42] BluesKaj, i dont disconnect the headset - thats just it - i switch the hardware and apply it but it just keeps going back to the other hardware [19:42] escott: it can run as guest (even just bash will suffice, I just need to commit code) and then I can su into my account [19:43] vastina: maybe pastebin the full sources.list [19:43] trism: of course :) [19:43] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main [19:43] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main [19:43] that's all [19:43] not worthy of pastebin [19:43] vastina: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:43] vastina: yeah you need deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main too [19:43] FloodBot1: that wasn't a flood daffy bot, need mroe lines [19:43] endra, i guess maybe if you got him to start a userspace ssh daemon and you were to run "su" in that then you could su to yourself, but how can you trust him to give you a real "su" and not a keylogged version. if a friend asked me to do this for him instead of just giving me the password I would boot to single user and change his password just to mess with him [19:44] vastina: since there isn't an updated version of nmap in the archive, just the one from the original release [19:44] so escott: it loads up to grub but then has a blank screen upon choosing the installation. In grub recovery mode, it errors with: "no suitable mode found." then "Booting However" [19:44] !nomodeset | nwilson5 [19:44] alguien sabe un comando para saber qué tipo de arquitectura tiene mi portátil? gracias de antemano [19:44] nwilson5: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [19:44] escott: because he doesn't know anything about computers lol [19:45] seems pidgin tries to use SOCKS proxy instead of HTML when I have told it to use gnome proxy. why? it didn't do that on Natty. [19:45] trism: nmap was just a package I noticed I needed, I'm more interested in sipp tbh. I now see nmap is working though so big thanks [19:45] escott: I don't care that he knows my password. I only care that he doesn't get my private id files :P [19:45] trism: no gui as this is an appliance [19:45] endra, all the more reason not to be a pain in the ***. just tell him the password, have him do what you need to give you remote access and change it. don't be a **** [19:46] endra, otherwise you are on the phone with this guy for an hour trying to instruct him how to properly start a userspace ssh daemon on a non-priv port [19:46] trism: big thanks though, you pushed me much closer to what I want [19:46] vastina: I don't see any versions of sipp in the archive [19:46] !es | bilbotarra [19:47] bilbotarra: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [19:47] trism: hmm, guess I need to install from source eh? [19:47] thought ubuntu was 1 size fits all lol [19:47] BluesKaj, arrggghhh just cant get any of my multimedia stuff to work [19:47] trism: what about pcaputils? [19:47] ufff, sorry, ubottu [19:47] sorry, ubottu [19:47] vastina: found it, deleted in hardy: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377925 [19:47] Debian bug 377925 in ftp.debian.org "RM: sipp -- RoQA; no users" [Normal,Open] [19:47] I dont remember [19:48] Miguelito, check the hardware tab in phonon which is pulseaudio and check the output devices there as well [19:48] thanks, ubottu [19:48] vastina: pcaputils is in universe, so you'd need to take all those deb lines you added to sources.list and add universe at the end after main [19:49] trism: just append 'universe' to the end after main on each line? [19:49] vastina: yep [19:49] endra, i guess my point is really that you are already at his mercy that he doesnt call over somebody who would know how to leverage physical access into root access. so don't antagonize him by making it obvious that you dont trust him [19:49] vastina: depending on what you are doing, you may want to add: restricted multiverse too so you get everything [19:49] escott: teamviewer to the rescue. Thanks anyways. 'give him your password' is not a good solution. There are a dozen ways to accomplish this [19:51] trism: much <3 from a linux brother from another mother :p very grateful for your help [19:51] vastina: no proble [19:51] vastina: +m [19:51] how can I find out why a particular package was installed (eg I have kate installed and wonder why..) [19:52] guntbert, apt-get remove it and see what depends on it [19:52] trism: got the sipp() i needed :D === mfisch` is now known as mfisch === FreeDoug is now known as DouglasA === mfisch is now known as Guest84007 [19:53] escott: ok, that will do - but I seem to remember some command with a --why (or --why-not) parameter [19:53] escott: nonetheless, I appreciate the help. Thanks a lot! [19:53] I need to share something with the Ubuntu community. .... it is freakin awesome... go download Miro [19:54] Which is the best: to upgrade or to reinstall the ubuntu12.04? [19:54] My photos are a mess. I want to have them automatically organized and restructured in a nice way. Eliminate duplicates, etc. Is there any software that can do this with Ubuntu? [19:55] JohnTeddy, most of the photo viewers support some form of dedup, as for organization every one seems to have a different approach :) [19:55] eepc 701 cannot open graphic neither in low mode... ubuntu 12.04 some help ? [19:55] Hey, is there a way to convert gnome to look back like it did in 10.04? I want the window control buttons and all on the right side not the left. [19:55] !classic | arosen [19:55] arosen: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity [19:55] !notunity [19:55] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use 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 [19:55] maybe need reconfigure ? [19:56] hi all; question, i would love to have the old "gnome-core" gnome without programs for everything, because then i want to choose my own program. do you know where i can find something similar on ubuntu1204? [19:56] RomeoAva: I upgraded but it was not well after the upgrade. I broke down and reformatted and started with a fresh install of 12.04 - JMO [19:56] arosen, as for the window control buttons that can be set with gnome-tweak-tool or through gconf-editor (under metacity) [19:56] RomeoAva: after the fresh install everything working fine - even my dual monitor setup [19:57] hi [19:57] when i start a script over ssh (i log in on my server with ssh and then start it with a & behind it) when i then logout the process stops.. how can i prevend this from happening ?

[19:58] Duality, man nohup [19:58] ah [19:59] To reiterate: Lenovo B570 laptop's networking down, both wired and wireless, can't suspend computer, might be a connection there. [19:59] you know just giving a name doesn't always help if the one where the answer is for doesn't know what it is :) [19:59] RomeoAva: Just backup your current home directory (don't forget all the .files). As you add programs back you look to your back up for all the data files and config files [19:59] escott: turns out I can't su to my account from guest. setgid operating not permitted [19:59] what about the partitions? [19:59] endra, advanced questions get advanced answers :) presumption is you can figure it out from the keyword [19:59] RomeoAva: Are you running two OS on one system [20:00] Duality, ^^^ not endra [20:00] !list [20:00] endra, thats seems reasonable [20:00] hou to backup the programs and so on [20:00] only one [20:00] Duality, if you want to run something in the background and get access to it again use screen [20:01] !addon [20:01] escott: or use tmux [20:01] RomeoAva: Well I did not back up any programs I just installed the again as I needed them [20:01] escott, any ideas on how I can access my own files from guest account? [20:02] endra, unless you made it **4 hopefully you wouldn't be able to [20:02] escott: so, being in the machine as guest and knowing user password there is no way to sudo/su into my account/root [20:03] endra, i would hope not :) [20:03] the backup home folder, you paste it back on the computer? [20:03] I use Dropbox for important stuff [20:03] RomeoAva: No I copied my home folder to an external USB drive - a big drive [20:04] OK. I use the same [20:04] RomeoAva: Just remember to copy all the .files - the .files hold all you configuration for most of the programs you use [20:05] endra, you could su to the user. or just login in at the console as the user to access the files.. if for some reason the desktops broken [20:05] endra, if you are really determined im sure there is a bug in some program somewhere. and you could find a way to do a privilege escalation attack [20:05] then about partitions? Can I have not do it? Just live all the space for the Ubuntu? [20:06] Dr_willis, su is thankfully disabled in a guest account [20:06] endra, what do you need to do to the files? [20:06] Dr_willis: su is disabled. I just need to git push :-/ [20:06] endra, use the console? [20:06] Dr_willis: what do you mean the console? [20:06] or try a terminal and ssh into your exiting user, or the login command [20:07] endra, alt-crtl-f1 through f6 = consoles... [20:07] RomeoAva: For my install I used the whole HD because I only have ubuntu installed - Could not care about adding another OS to the same system [20:07] RomeoAva: It up to you and what you want to use your system for [20:07] hi guys how could I go abouts purging alsa and re-installing it [20:07] Dr_willis: I'm connected through teamviewer so I do not think I will be able to do that [20:08] endra, try a terminal and ssh, or login command perhaps. [20:08] endra, if you have ssh installed it should be running [20:08] using guest account over teamviewer seems... weird... [20:08] escott: you know, disabling su locally is just silly [20:08] as guest* [20:09] endra, some would say that not wanting to give your roommate who has physical access the password is just silly :) [20:09] I meet different bad situations in Linux like can't use soen webinar conferences, use my Samsung scanner, etc. That is whay I was thinking at a Windoz [20:09] escott: if it is to prevent somehow cracking the password, it only says operation not permitted after it authenticates you. Failing to authenticate shows Authentication Failure. [20:10] RomeoAva: yeah I seen question about third party apps not working - however all my thrid party apps work [20:10] endra, yeah its not perfect. i would rather they just disable the guest account entirely [20:10] some would say the idea of a guest account is silly. ;) [20:11] endra, but if they are going to have a guest account i dont see why it should be able to do anything that requires any kind of priviledges [20:11] RomeoAva: for example my HP Multi printer has not issues, both my logic camera work, dual monitor setup, external drives, CounterPath softphoine [20:11] RomeoAva: all have no issues [20:12] !lista [20:12] mazzulone: No warez here!

I still think the ability to su should be allowed, though. [20:13] Out of the blue, it is crashing on me every time I try to use it, including in safe mode.

You should probably use -c 100 or something to make sure it stops after a certain amount of packets.

[20:45] sirriffsalot: don't apply force [20:45] sirriffsalot, i wouldn't care to speculate on the unusual [20:45] shaneo, it helps direct your audio to the the proper outputs , of course you have to set that up in pulseaudio as well, (phonon audio hardware setup) [20:45] MonkeyDust: I'll try a USB drive, thanks for the suggestion [20:46] Trying to update grub. Did 'sudo update-grub' and I got, /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

[20:47] BluesKaj, via pulse audio volume controls? [20:47] MissVera, sounds like you are trying to do a chroot reinstall, but havent done the chroot? [20:47] M1nerals, Sorry, Im new, and don't understand. I had reformated and installed, and everything went fine. then had issues with 'nomodeset', [20:47] Had to edit grub config to add in 'nomodeset' then update it, and now it says the not mounted stuff [20:47] guntbert: One moment. [20:47] But can it at all damage my computer when I power it on? [20:48] MissVera, and now what is it that you want to do [20:48] escott, update grub? And figure out why it thinks it isnt mounted? [20:48] sirriffsalot, the answer to "could it" is always going to be yes, but it likely wont [20:48] How can I install freeciv 2.3.2 on ubuntu? [20:48] escott, I'll see if it fits at all then! Cheers=9 [20:48] MissVera, you want to edit /etc/default/grub and remove the nomodeset? [20:49] I need some help getting my wireless networking adapters installed [20:49] MissVera, having nomodeset should not prevent you from booting in any way, so if you still aren't booting with nomodeset then you should focus on that [20:49] escott, no, I needed to add in nomodeset. I was having an issue where after i rebooted, it would get past the post, and the blackscreen with a cursor, so someone pointed me to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 which says to edit it, add nomodeset then update, but i cannot update because of that error [20:50] MissVera, ok. so we are adding nomodeset. [20:50] faryshta, i know a dirty way .. [20:50] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1071992/ [20:50] escott: What would you use to get rid of dedups and organize photos? [20:50] faryshta, you'll have to set sources to point to quantal , then install, then remove those sources [20:50] MissVera, first a couple questions. do you know what partition number ubuntu was installed to? do you have a separate /boot partition? is your cd the same cd you used to install? [20:50] escott, lol. I already added it. I Just needed to do 'sudo update-grub' but, i type it, and it give me that error. /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) [20:51] JohnTeddy, pretty sure shotwell should have that [20:51] I have a dell d620 and a broadcom bcm4311 modem I'm having problems getting to the directory on the c: drive to get the necessary files to install [20:51] escott: It tells me it didn't import duplicates. Though it didn't delete the duplicates. [20:51] I don't see where shotwell has this. [20:51] MissVera, you still need to chroot [20:51] KrisKustomPaint that's wine... [20:51] escott, when i installed, I let the live usb figure out the partitioning for me. Didnt touch a thing. [20:51] wine? [20:52] KrisKustomPaint c: drive, that's windows, so wine? [20:52] MissVera, and in nautilus (File manager) have you opened the ubuntu disk (the one that was installed)? [20:52] escott, Okay. Though, no idea what chroot is. Would you be able to help? [20:52] escott, no.. [20:52] MissVera, yep... working up to that. have to get the background information first [20:52] I've never used linux just got it installed yesterday and been trying to get the wireless working for the past 12 hours [20:52] ShayGuy: both interfaces are down and have no ip address assigned - let me think/read [20:52] MissVera, then you likely added the nomodeset to the wrong place (the cd and not the installed system) [20:53] I'm using Compiz Expo plugin on Classic desktop with 9 workspaces. For some reason window seems to sometimes change the workspace if I move altogether another window. Any thought what might cause this might? [20:53] escott, that's entirely possible. [20:53] monkeydust i have no idea what wine is [20:53] KrisKustomPaint linux does not use c: d: etc it uses partition names, /dev/sd..... [20:53] MissVera, so go ahead and open the file manager and it should list the ubuntu volume as one of the ones on the left that could be mounted [20:53] I understand that monkeydust [20:53] escott, also, someone else noticed that my /dev/sda1 is mounted as /target, but, i have no idea what that means either [20:53] but all the same the files i need are on the c: drive [20:53] !bcm | KrisKustomPaint read this [20:53] KrisKustomPaint read this: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:54] MissVera, i cant say either [20:54] MissVera, can you paste the output of "mount" to us [20:54] !paste | MissVera [20:54] MissVera: 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. [20:54] JohnTeddy, gphoto? [20:54] the problem is getting ubuntu to access the necessary files [20:55] KrisKustomPaint do you want use windows files to install wireless in linux? [20:55] escott, what was the way to post directly from the terminal? something |pastebin? [20:55] shaneo, you'll find the pavucontrol will show some audio output options , with a sound test for them [20:55] JohnTeddy, have some fun with find and sha1sum and sort etc :) [20:55] guntbert: Take as much time as you need. [20:55] !pastebinit | MissVera [20:55] MissVera: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:55] I can see the folders in windows, when i start ubuntu i can't get to the folders [20:55] KrisKustomPaint you didnt use wubi, did you? [20:55] ShayGuy: try sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.135 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [20:56] Monkeydust ...No I did a windows instalation so the installation files are on my c: drive [20:56] yes wubi [20:56] escott that still doesn make sense to me. I Dont kno thecommand. [20:56] ShayGuy: the ip address is just a random one [20:56] should i just smash my computer now? [20:56] MissVera, "sudo apt-get install pastebinit; mount | pastebinit" [20:56] BluesKaj, all system sounds are fine its only chromium, firefox, opera, chrome, and iron to name a few. They dont even show up in pavu [20:56] KrisKustomPaint no you shouldnt use wubi [20:56] well too late [20:56] BluesKaj, the only app that shows in is screencloud [20:56] what now [20:57] i had no other options [20:57] KrisKustomPaint delete wubi in windows and do a normal installation [20:57] could install for usb, cd, or anyother way [20:57] escott, i did it yesterday so i already have the app... but the command you're saying is different from what i did last night so its not working. but, here's the one from last night i found http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070712/ [20:57] guntbert: No visible response. [20:58] i got this jack up computer and its the only way i could get it to install [20:58] MissVera, if this is a livecd and you rebooted everything could have changed [20:58] shaneo, the options for browser audio won't show , pavucontrol is global , you may need to reboot , thewn try the youtube or some such to test the audio portion [20:58] ShayGuy: good, what does ip address say now? [20:58] escott I have not rebooted. [20:58] Hi. I want to install ubuntu restricted extras on ubuntu studio 12.04 or should I install xubuntu restricted extras now that studio uses xfce? [20:58] BluesKaj, ok ill reboot and let you know how things go [20:58] MissVera, can you rerun the command anyways [20:58] escott, and, itssupposed to be installed. But its acting like it isnt [20:59] why can't I view the files that are on the windows partition? [20:59] or what ever you want to call it [20:59] KrisKustomPaint, from wubi that may not be possible due to the loopback [20:59] hello [20:59] so I'm just stuck with no way of getting files into ubuntu? [20:59] escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072015/ [21:00] I have a fresh ubuntu 12.04 install with 3 hard drives .. one for the OS ... the other 2 have been setup with a RAID 1 ... when I boot up, .. ubuntu see's the RAID HD's as 2 seperate drives ... using gparted to visually see ... the 2 drives are /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc ... they have an error icon saying "couldn't find valid filesystem superblock" .... I'm using an intel motherboard (DH77EH) with integrated RAID contro [21:00] I can't get the usb working in ubuntu either [21:00] MissVera, then edit /target/etc/default/grub and add the nomodeset [21:00] wubi mounts the host window ssytems some where in the / of the drive. [21:00] check output of the 'mount' command. [21:01] is anybody having problems with upgrades? [21:01] MissVera, once that is done run the following commands: "sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev; sudo mount --bind /proc /target/proc; sudo mount --bind /sys /target/sys; sudo chroot /target; update-grub" [21:01] KrisKustomPaint wubi is not a 'real' installation, hence the problems [21:01] dr willis could you be more specific [21:01] I have a script on my desktop. Currently, when I open it, I get an option to run in terminal or display. I would like it to automatically run in terminal and NOT give me this message. Is there a way to do that? [21:01] not real how? [21:01] seems real [21:01] guntbert: eth1 has a line that says "inet 192.168.1.125/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth1" and an inet6 line resembling eth0's. [21:01] is anybody having problems with upgrades? [21:01] thozethingz, fakeraid. don't use it. use mdadm [21:02] hplip is giving me problems. Google hasn't helped. I installed Oneiric on a Dell machine last week and hplip is printing fine. I loaded 12.04 LTS to another Dell machine and hplip cannot setup the printer (same exact printer) . It sees it, but will not set it up. Any suggestions? I tried the hplip site and I tried google but to no avail. [21:02] KrisKustomPaint it's an installation *inside* windows, not alongside it [21:02] KrisKustomPaint, i dont use wubi. all i can say is i rember it Mounting the windows C: some where in / the output of the mount command should show you where. [21:02] somthing like /host or similer [21:02] so whats the best way to install [21:02] MissVera, make sure each of those commands is successful (doesnt give any error) before moving to the next [21:02] and how do i uninstall [21:03] escott, How do I save it after I've changed it? :x [21:03] ShayGuy: good, now try sudo ip route add default dev eth1 via 192.168.1.1 [21:03] Cottus, dirty indeed. [21:03] too many people :( [21:03] KrisKustomPaint uninstall: delete in windows, for installation tips, type !install [21:03] Is there a way to download a file using RTMP (flash) protocol on Ubuntu? [21:03] MissVera, you will need to edit it as root. so gksudo gedit /target/etc/default/grub [21:03] KrisKustomPaint, the whole point of wubi is it is removed/added like a windows app. so it has a entry in the add/remove programs settings of windows. [21:03] MissVera, replace gedit with another text editor if you like something else [21:03] !install [21:03] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [21:04] escott, gksudo doesnt work for me. I had to use sudo nano and im in the editor i jut cant remember the key combo to save i [21:04] guntbert: OK, now what? [21:04] well thats what got me to the wubi install in the first place [21:04] MissVera: ctrl+x [21:04] MissVera, sudo nano is fine ctrl-X should ask you to save [21:04] I couldn't get the usb install to work [21:04] KrisKustomPaint ok, so now you know you don't want wubi [21:04] faryshta, :D [21:04] escott, then after I Save, dont I need to 'update-grub' ? [21:05] MissVera, once that is done run the following commands: "sudo mount --bind /dev /target/dev; sudo mount --bind /proc /target/proc; sudo mount --bind /sys /target/sys; sudo chroot /target; update-grub" [21:05] I don't have a clue, today is the second day I've ever used linux [21:05] MissVera, stop between each ";" and verify it worked [21:05] MissVera, ie no error message [21:05] ShayGuy: now the system *should* work for now, try ping 192.168.1.1, if that goes ok then ping 8.8.8.8 (use ctrl+c to intrrupt the pings [21:05] i just want something to work [21:05] escott ... thanks .. I will investigate that [21:06] escott, Do i need to do update-grub before your commands? Since thats what the thread said :x [21:06] hi guys! anyone here from portugal? i'm going there tomorrow and need some info! thanks! [21:06] MissVera, no you need to do the bind mounts and chroot in that order [21:06] guntbert: Nope. Just "Destination Host Unreachable." [21:06] escott, okay, one sec. [21:07] ShayGuy: then maybe you got the addresses wrong - check from your other computer - please talk to the channel again, I have to leave - Good luck :-) [21:07] how can i unzip and overwrite all? [21:07] BluesKaj, still no sound in browser :( [21:08] ~man [21:08] !man [21:08] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [21:08] how can i unzip and overwrite all? [21:08] XiRoN -o [21:08] so I tried to update to Quantal and failed miserably, and now my nvidia drivers are particularly screwed up. the install scripts are complaining for a lack of the XKit.utils python library. however, the only solution I can find, to reinstall 'xkit-python' isn't possible [21:08] When I double-click a script, is there a way to have it execute without prompting me to "Run in terminal" "Display" "Cancel" "Run"? [21:08] thanks escott [21:08] XiRoN, check the man pages for zip and unzip? [21:08] so.... just smash the computer [21:08] XiRoN_, in the future unzip --help [21:08] what does "Place windows" plugin do? [21:08] anyone got any ideas how to deal with this? [21:08] !quantal | angelixd [21:08] angelixd: Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) will be the 17th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 [21:09] What'd guntbert mean by "check from the other computer"? [21:09] angelixd, quantal is in alpha 2 stage you shouldnt install it anywhere but a vm [21:09] KrisKustomPaint, or run the 'mount' command from a terminal and see if wubi has the windows host drive mounted somewhere allready [21:09] what does "Place windows" plugin in Compizconfig do? [21:09] unless you want to work at getting a normal install going. [21:09] angelixd, if you upgraded you will have to reinstall 12.04 [21:10] Hello everyone. I installed the last LTS Ubuntu, and i'm having problems with software instalation since then. First was a PGP key error, and seems that error is fixed now. But now, some dependencies can't install due "0 OK" errors or bad package size. I tried everithing, from app-get -f install to deleting all related files and doing a app-get update but the problem persists. I'm running x64 ubuntu on VirtualBox. Any ideas? [21:10] delac, it places windows in particular locations based on rules [21:10] whats a normal install? [21:10] delac, can put windows when they open. in specific places.. top left, right, at position 300x300 and so forth [21:10] KrisKustomPaint, where you boot the cd, or usb and follow the installer... ie: NOT wubi. [21:10] well, this sucks :-( [21:10] shaneo, but the video plays fine , correct ? Download an flv file from youtube with youtube-dl , then try it without the browser [21:11] ok [21:11] escott, I did all of them and didnt get any messages back until the last command [21:11] therea a plugin/extension for firefox to play flash videos in vlc. :) [21:11] MissVera, what did it say? [21:11] I'll try a vew things ill be back thank you [21:11] escott, Dr_willis : if I dont have any rules I want to use, it is useless? [21:11] Hello everyone.

[21:12] MissVera, anything that looked like an error? or just informational? finally you can run "grep nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and it should return a number of lines [21:12] delac, if it does stuff you dont need to do... seems like you dont have a use for it.. its VERY usefull for me. [21:12] delac, is a fan on the moon useless? [21:13] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/ lets you play flash videos in the browser in vlc, or sends them to vlc outside the browser. [21:13] hi, does anyone know if touchegg works for 12.04? [21:14] Dr_willis: how do you use it?

My laptop won't connect to the router, and I'm not even sure it can network at all. There may be a power management problem.

[21:15] MissVera, then reboot [21:15] delac, i have specific windows i want set at specific places on my desktop whenever i launch them. with specific options..

Any id [21:16] Has anyone seen a problem with xchat and ubuntu 12.04 where there is no scroll bar in the channel window? [21:17] kleewyck, must be a bug with your liboverlay-scrollbar [21:17] Dr_willis: might be usefull that way. Unfortunately for me it seems to throw the windows around the workspaces if I try to move other windows... [21:18] Thanks escott :( [21:18] kleewyck, its actually not there, and its not that you just aren't seeing it because you aren't used to the overlay scrollbar? [21:18] escott, Black screen with a cursor :x [21:19] MissVera, so does the boot get to grub? [21:19] as I move over the window edges no scroll bar appears. [21:19] No. Post, then black screen with a cursor, then nothing. [21:19] escott on the user list it does appear. [21:20] ShayGuy, can you send an ifconfig, ifconfig -a, and open a terminal to run "sudo tailf /var/log/syslog" ? [21:20] Multiple video cards for multiple monitors IS NOT fun with x [21:20] CIDR, how did it go? [21:20] Dr_willis: on top of that, I seem to get odd flickering when I click any of the windows on the expo mode. Like if the windows were briefly moved to random workspaces and then back to their original places. [21:20] Well it's fine on my HD7770 [21:20] but if I try to use my onboard graphics card, or another add-in cards it's pointless [21:21] the ATI drives flip out and then basically just no longer work. Might as well be using vesa drivers [21:21] .. [21:21] kleewyck, maybe your xchat scrollback buffer is disabled? [21:21] Hello everyone.

I tried everithing, from app-get -f install to deleting all related files and doing a app-get update but the problem persists. I'm running x64 ubuntu on VirtualBox. Any id [21:22] MissVera, a black screen with a cursor might be more indicative of a boot loader thats not found than a modesetting issue [21:22] Cottus if I add another screen, or enable xinerama the other screen just stays black, and my 2 exsisting ATI screens are miserably laggy/slow [21:22] MonkeyDust: I've had no difficulty getting it, but it just doesn't seem to actually do anything, and the GUI doesn't work/appear anywhere [21:22] CIDR, did you add Virtual to the Screen section ? [21:22] Yeah. [21:22] Virtual 1440 900 [21:22] ok [21:22] It's identical to my other dell monitor... [21:22] MissVera, in which case the questions are "what do you see after POST," "what kind of bios do you have?," and is there anything unusual about your hardware setup? === adrian is now known as Guest95373 [21:23] escott, Well, I had found the blackscreen cursor thing had been a normal issue for other people, and that adding nomodeset fixed it, but, apparently not.. [21:23] X log complains about "not enough video memory" for the virtual screen. So I bumped it down to even something like 640X480, same error [21:23] gcq, please stop doing that.

Um. video is integrated. And, after post, there is nothing. It is a black screen with a blinking cursor, where i can do nothing. And the Bios question, i dont know how to answer [21:24] I'm having trouble with my wifi connection. When I installed Ubuntu it worked, but I rebooted and now it doens't show my wireless networks [21:24] Is there a way to disable taping on a touchpad? [21:24] MissVera, sounds like grub isn't being found. modesetting is less likely to be an issue on older integrated (ie intel?) graphics than modern nvidia/ati hardware [21:25] Ha, nevermind. I just found it. [21:25] :P [21:25] escott, AMD, and, i installed puppy before this, and it loaded and ran fine, if that tells you anything? [21:25] also, my new kernel (after upgrade) doesn't boot [21:25] MissVera, i need to head home, but i would think you should try reinstalling grub. basically the same process as before, but this time run "grub-install /dev/sda" [21:25] ShayGuy, i saw frame error, i don't know about this stuff , let me see what that is [21:25] Is there a way of reinstalling an OS over SSH? [21:26] escott, same process as before? [21:26] XiRoN yes [21:26] MissVera, the whole bind mount chroot business [21:26] CIDR: Where do I go for information on that? [21:26] escott, I'm a complete noob. [21:26] XiRoN a couple really. Some installers support a remote session from the medium, or you can chroot the root [21:26] shaneo, try this , thanks to Dr_willis , https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/ [21:26] Now, one more question. My files for xchat go into a folder /home/user/.xchat2/ Problem is when I try to browse the folders I don't see one .xchat [21:26] escott, so, reenter every command but with the grub instal thing somewhere? [21:26] please help! [21:26] MissVera, thats ok. we can walk you through it again. if you want to wait 40minutes ill be home, otherwise ask someone else in the channel for instructions [21:27] the . means hidden [21:27] escott, I'll wait. Everyone else ignores me :x [21:27] phillijw, Ah, How to unhide? [21:27] should I reinstall ubuntu_ [21:27] ? [21:27] What command do I use in xchat to close all query windows? [21:27] Can someone define CRUX for me? [21:27] in mirc it's //close -M [21:27] actually, it's just /close -m [21:28] Aptar: You just need to view hidden files.

[21:30] Hello, I have a question about security permission and apache. Can someone help me in a side chat? [21:30] susana, have you tried the recovery option on the new kernel , there may be some partial installs which need repair in the recovery kernel. [21:31] BluesKaj, ok, let me try that [21:31] BluesKaj, what should I do_ [21:31] ? [21:31] I'm new to ubuntu [21:31] ShayGuy, if you have "sudo tailf /var/log/syslog" can you run in another terminal "dhclient" and show me the difference? [21:32] phillijw, I'm just not finding the option to view the hidden files, must be overlooking. [21:33] reboot , choose the recovery kernel , and then when the dialog pops up choose the the repair broken packages option there , then reboot again and try the new kernel [21:33] Cottus: dhclient isn't showing ANYTHING. [21:33] susana,^ [21:33] thanks BluesKaj [21:33] Default Nautilus file manager - Ctrl-H shows/hides .hidden files [21:33] ShayGuy, /var/log/syslog should show something [21:34] Aptar: Default Nautilus file manager - Ctrl-H shows/hides .hidden files [21:35] Cottus: Ah, yeah. A bunch of DHCPDISCOVER entries. [21:35] did it get an ip? [21:36] i guess not [21:36] BluesKaj, ok now I could boot, but still I have no wifi [21:37] Cottus: They're all in the format "dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval #". [21:37] ok ok [21:37] BluesKaj, I checked for additional controllers and there's a broadcom STA driver [21:37] BluesKaj, it says it is activated and currently being used [21:38] BluesKaj, I added a new user when the wireless stopped working, does this have anything to do with the problem? [21:38] ShayGuy, i'm reading http://serverfault.com/questions/185331/exact-meaning-of-rx-errors-and-frame-in-ifconfig-output , here it says it might be a bad cable [21:39] Cottus: Oh, now there's a bunch of entries all within one second, starting with "dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received." One more dhclient one after that, then the rest are avahi-autoipd(eth1)[25402]. [21:40] i installed this cursor http://customize.org/xcursors/39405 but then i apply it i got the link pointer as the normal pointer? [21:40] normal [21:40] Cottus: dhclient also appears to have closed; presumably that's what it's showing. [21:40] can somebody help me with PLEX-MEDIA-SERVER running on ubuntu here..?

Am getting a Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail] when trying to install 12.04 on esx 3i server [21:41] Can anyone help me with a Linux Security question? === darkham is now known as krabador [21:42] can somebody help me with wifi in ubuntu 12.04? [21:42] hi [21:42] Muninx76: ask..? [21:43] MissVera, have you booted back to the livecd? [21:43] susana: whats the problem..? [21:43] running ubuntu on my laptop via virtual box, for some reason whenever I make it full screen it becomes very laggy, any help? [21:43] :( [21:43] please [21:43] I need to get to work [21:44] If I have a server running apache and a directory has drwxrwxrwx permissions, would people on the web have full access to that folder? [21:44] Guest29674, did you install the guest additions [21:44] escott, no. I was just asking a friend how i was supposed to reinstall grub through the terminal, when i couldnt get to it :P So. Use the live usb to just run it again. okay, one minute. [21:44] escott: i tried to install 12.04 by running the live cd and then editing /etc/apt/sources.list and running update/upgrade but the install ran out of space and it looks to me like it is trying to install into the virtual environment. what did I do wrong? [21:44] Yes [21:44] Guest16593: could be coz you haven't installed (if any) GPU-drivers on VirtualBox. [21:44] Muninx76, people using http are not like real users. [21:44] at least I think so [21:45] it didn't go exactly as the instructions I found [21:45] how can I check? [21:45] peggys_mouse, did you chroot into the installed system [21:45] susana, sorry , was away for a few ...which wifi chip ? and have you checked additional drivers for the driver to make sure it's enabled [21:45] escott: no. how do i do that? [21:45] peggys_mouse, if not im about to explain to MissVera how one does a chroot [21:45] :) [21:45] :) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [21:46] So, someone using http wouldn't have full access to that directory? Who would? Should I be concerned that it a folder is permissioned that what? [21:46] er, way. [21:46] abhinavmehta, my wifi doesn't work. It did during the installation process [21:46] abhinavmehta, now I can't see the available networks [21:46] abhinavmehta, I checked the proprietary drivers and it says Broadcom STA [21:46] abhinavmehta, but I can't see any networks [21:46] abhinavmehta, what can I do? [21:47] Muninx76, in general that permission would seem to be a bit too broad, but you would not be concerned that a normal http user would be able to modify it [21:47] susana: tried ndiswrapper [21:47] If there were another script running on the server though, that would most likely be able to do anything in that folder though, right? [21:47] Cottus: So if it is a problem with a cable, any idea what I can do about it? [21:48] For Broadcom, ndiswrapper is the worst solution. [21:48] Muninx76, any other user/process on the system could modify the file [21:48] Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. You've been a big help! [21:48] BluesKaj, Broadcom STA it says [21:48] BluesKaj, 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [21:49] Munix76 that pressumes that you have all protocols, except for http blocked. If other protocols are allowed then people can get to that folder [21:49] escott, K, I'm in! [21:49] ShayGuy, first you need to try another cable to confirm , then ask in ##networking :P [21:49] Muninx76: correctly said by escott, further try to make chroot-jail for that dir…and your www-root folder will be safe from intruders. [21:49] MissVera, peggys_mouse (peggy ill give these for MissVera and trust you can adjust as needed) [21:49] susana: tried ndiswrapper..? [21:49] Cottus: What, you mean like an Ethernet cable? [21:50] anyone on PlexMediaServer here..? [21:50] MissVera, peggys_mouse start by mounting the installed ubuntu system with "sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu" [21:50] ShayGuy, yes [21:50] susana: You could try following this guide: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38327/how-can-i-get-broadcom-bcm4311-wireless-working [21:50] escott, will these commands save even though im just going through the live cd and didnt boot into it? [21:50] susana, open a terminal , sudo modprobe b43 , if there is no output then it's loaded === swishy_ is now known as swishy [21:51] MissVera, peggys_mouse then bind mount the special filesystems. "sudo mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev; sudo mount --bind /sys /media/ubuntu/sys; sudo mount --bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc" [21:51] BluesKaj: Which doesnt solve the problem of a possibly missing firmware. [21:51] abhinavmehta, nope, should I use a windows controller? but it worked while installing and the first time I used the computer [21:51] Cottus: Well, I didn't have a cable plugged in. That hadn't made a difference before. [21:51] susana: No, you can follow the link I just gave you. [21:51] MissVera, the point of this is to access the installed system from the cd. once we run the "chroot" command any changes will be on the real system [21:51] bekks, agreed , feel free to make any suggestions [21:52] BluesKaj: I just did ;) [21:52] escott, Im running Xubuntu, should I just change ubuntu to xubuntu? :x [21:52] MissVera, peggys_mouse, ill hold here until you guys catch up [21:52] ShayGuy, is it an ethernet card? [21:52] BluesKaj, no output [21:52] bekks, to susana as well [21:52] MissVera, its just a filename. doesn't matter what it is. just be consistent [21:52] bekks, ok [21:52] Cottus: What do you mean, and how do I check? [21:52] BluesKaj: I did, as you can read in the backlog. :) [21:53] ShayGuy, i mean is it a wireless or cable? [21:53] escott: i think i need to reboot first. [21:53] susana: nothing wrong in using windows-based drivers, I guess. Rest it personal-choices. [21:53] peggys_mouse, why do you say that? [21:54] abhinavmehta: ndiswrapper is buggy and broken by design. [21:54] Cottus: I usually connect wirelessly with this computer. That's what I've been trying to do now. [21:54] sorry [21:54] BluesKaj, I'll try bekks web ok? [21:54] bekks: ohh.. [21:55] escott, k, done [21:55] abhinavmehta: and, in addition, there are at least two more recent native driver approaches available. So there is no need to use ndiswrapper. [21:55] MissVera, then sudo chroot /media/ubuntu [21:55] is there some git GUI that shows the single branches a little bit better than gitg? [21:55] ok susana [21:55] i7c, giggle gitk? [21:56] escot, K. [21:56] escott: the install i was doing crashed because it ran out of room. i wanted to make sure to clear that up so these instructions had space to work. maybe i didn't need to but figured it wouldn't hurt. [21:56] escott: oh i'm stupid, i totally overlooked those in the ubuntu wiki. thx [21:56] peggys_mouse, ok [21:56] bekks: ok..thanx for update. :) [21:56] anyone know why 12.04 is sending 1mbps of nfs traffic from each of my workstations? [21:56] ShayGuy, you can also try to reconnect , through whatever means, and in the meantime check /var/log/syslog :) [21:56] broadband usb disapears after install and or connection of ethernet. Also had to be connected through win xp then reboot to ubuntu install disk to even be recognized by ubuntu. Any thoughts? [21:57] Cottus: You mean just plug it into the router? [21:57] susana, my wifi knowledge is somewhat limited , but check networm manager to se if you have any networks , ifup wlan0, in the terminal might help [21:57] no [21:57] ShayGuy, this time i mean through network-manager , i suppose, [21:58] how can i force grub to always show the menu. the documentation is a bit unclear https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 [21:58] escott so, Im sitting at root@xubuntu:/# if that's right. [21:58] MissVera, good. now run "grub-install /dev/sda" [21:58] ShayGuy, nevermind, i don't know that stuff , [21:59] bekks, it didn't work [21:59] escott, should it be /sda or /sda1 ? [21:59] susana: what exactly "didnt work"? [21:59] MissVera, /dev/sda without the "1" [21:59] bekks, the wireless [21:59] susana: what did you do exactly, and which error messages did you receive? [21:59] is their VBA support in MS Office Excel, Word e.t.c under wine? [21:59] Cottus: Well, the top-right menu still says "Networking disabled (gray); ✓ Enable Networking; (i) Connection Information (gray); (pencil) Edit Connections..." [21:59] escott, it's in /etc/default/grub [21:59] Cottus, what option in that? [21:59] escott, installation finished, No error reported. :> [22:00] bekks, no error msjs. I did as said in your link [22:00] escott, hidden_timeout i think [22:00] escott, i 'll send you debian [22:00] Cottus, that doesn't say it would show the menu. "The time the screen remains blank but available for display is determined by a setting in /etc/default/grub (GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT) " [22:00] MissVera, hold there for a moment. trying to figure out how we can force grub to show the menu for debug purposes [22:00] susana: Did you check the firmware is installed correctly? [22:01] how can I see that bekks? [22:01] susana: Thats said in my link. [22:01] escott if you remove that setting and set GRUB_TIMEOUT? [22:01] is their VBA support in MS Office Excel, Word e.t.c under wine? [22:01] escott, the last time i tried to alter the config, i had to type 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub' [22:01] bekks, huh? [22:02] i doubt that helps, since i know next to nothing about any of this. === kingkong|aw is now known as kingkong [22:02] Cottus, the documentation is just astoundingly good :) [22:02] MissVera, do "nano /etc/default/grub" (the sudo is unnecessary because you are already root) [22:02] http://sprunge.us/d0dT [22:03] bekks, I followed the first response method [22:03] susana: First answer, point 3: "make sure that the firmware-b43-installer and the b43-fwcutter packages are installed" [22:03] escott, K. Im there. [22:03] MissVera, what does the GRUB_TIMEOUT line say? [22:03] bekks, they are [22:03] bekks, I installed them [22:03] MissVera, and is it commented (does it start with a #) [22:03] susana: Did you check dmesg to see wether that was sufficient to load the firmware? [22:03] ShayGuy, enable Networking and then enable Wireless Networking [22:04] I installed ubuntu server 12.04. does it support mounting hfs+ file systems out of the box? [22:04] Cottus: "Enable Networking" is already checked. Hence the checkmark. (Or is that not showing up?)

[22:05] I want read only access not write [22:05] ShayGuy, so, ShayGuy does it ever connect? [22:06] Should've specified that [22:06] Cottus: Nope. [22:06] bekks, ok [22:06] i saw many packets in eth1 though [22:06] anyone use mediafire express? [22:06] ok [22:07] ShayGuy, so , you cannot connect [22:07] ShayGuy, do you have a list with all the wireless networks [22:07] Escott so I can mount it read Only?

What about the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT line? [22:08] Cottus: When I unchecked and then checked that, syslog showed NetworkManager saying "sleeping or disabling..." immediately after recording the check/uncheck. [22:08] escott, =0 [22:09] MissVera, but commented? [22:09] escott: sorry this is taking forever. having trouble rebooting to live [22:09] that's normal === Matthew is now known as Guest76447 [22:09] bekks, lots of 'fatal error' [22:09] escott, are you asking if it has a # in front of it? [22:09] MissVera, yes [22:09] escott, none of the GRUB_ have a # in front of them [22:10] escott, except that one that the bottom that was #GRUB_BADRAM [22:10] I need a little help. Yesterday I was in disk utility and formatted my slave drive and after a reboot, my primary drive will not boot up. I am running 10.04. At first I thought I accidentally formatted my primary drive, but I booted a live CD and everything is still there. So not sure why it will not boot up. I have a backup of my etc, var, usr, bin, and home directories from a few days ago. Is there a way I can repair it so it will bo [22:10] tried a test 10.04 install on another drive and tried to restore my directories and it boots, but doesn't work 100% right. [22:10] i feel like i should edit this documentation to say "English do you speak it ...." [22:10] Escott so will it work as read only out the box? [22:10] :/ [22:10] susana: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1783272.html [22:10] devslash2, can't answer "out of the box" but it should be readable [22:11] Ok [22:11] J-Escobar, boot loader got erased maybe [22:11] MissVera, currently you don't see any grub splash screen correct [22:11] Cottus: i am also thinking something happened to the boot loader. not sure how though. how would I go about fixing that? [22:11] escott, no.. [22:12] MissVera, asking #grub if they can translate [22:12] Does anyone knows how to make 5.1 surround sound work under ubuntu 12.04? === tdubz is now known as thomas [22:13] J-Escobar, grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/yourprimarydrive/boot/ /deb/sda [22:13] my mic volume control defaults it every session, how to stop it? [22:13] bekks ok [22:14] MissVera, i think what we might want is to change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 to =5 and change GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true to =false [22:14] MissVera, which will hopefull give us some indication that grub is alive and kicking [22:15] MissVera, after you make those changes save the file and exit nano (ctrl-X) then run "update-grub" [22:15] Cottus: Do I just boot from a live cd and run that command? [22:15] J-Escobar, yes (*/dev/sda) [22:15] /dev/sda [22:16] escott, Okay. it's saved [22:16] Cottus: ok thanks, let me boot the live cd and try it. i will let you know how it goes. [22:16] escott, and updated :x [22:16] ok [22:17] MissVera, lets make sure that was there and run "grep HIDDEN /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [22:17] MissVera, actually do "grep -i timeout /boot/grub/grub.cfg" [22:17] bekks, still nothing [22:17] escott, it didnt do anything [22:18] escott: the live cd is now hanging on the ubuntu screen. any ideas how to get around that? [22:18] bekks, and dmesg still throws the same errors [22:18] peggys_mouse, hit the up arrow. what does it say? [22:19] escott: nothing. just that same purple screen [22:19] peggys_mouse, try a cold reboot (full shutdown) [22:19] escott: i have several times [22:19] escott, k. so. it says set timeout=-1 then set timeout=1- then if [ "x${timeout}" != "x-1" ]; then set timeout=0 [22:19] always comes back to the same spot [22:19] peggys_mouse, it booted once, i see no reason why it shouldnt boot again [22:20] my mic volume control defaults it every session, how to stop it? [22:20] MissVera, ok. i guess thats correct. does "grep -i nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg" still show your nomodeset stuff? [22:20] escott: when i had that drive full problem, what drive where they talking about? not related i assume? [22:20] peggys_mouse, i dont know. i wasnt there :) [22:20] peggys_mouse, Mine used to do that. So, I'd try to boot it , have it fail, then take the live media out and boot it, let it fail, then put it back in and reboot, and it would work. Dont know why. === dawid is now known as Guest68430 [22:21] guys my cursore was disapear when i installed paralllels tools [22:21] how to fix that? [22:21] :) [22:21] escott, yes. [22:21] MissVera: i'll try that [22:22] polen [22:23] MissVera, ok. then i guess try and reboot again. this time you should see a 5 second countdown timer at some point during the boot. during that timer you can press SHIFT and it should show a grub menu. if it doesn't then grub isn't working [22:23] Sorry, I think my connection went out. [22:24] OH [22:24] I LOVE YOU [22:25] Cottus: it is mounting the drive in /media is that a problem? I am also getting an unrecognized option error. [22:25] np [22:25] Cottus: Last thing from you I got was "ShayGuy, do you have a list with all the wireless networks " [22:25] yes that one [22:25] escott: i think i'm hooped. will have to re-install. what a day. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [22:25] escott, ahem so GNU GRUB version 1.99-21ubuntu3 [22:26] What do you guys reccomend for watching TV via cable/dvb card ? no DVR stuff or anything [22:26] CIDR, what country are you in?

[22:28] I don't need a cable card... [22:29] Half of it is unecrpted DVB, the other half is still analog === milind is now known as abyss42 [22:29] escott, which should I select? There is... Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic then Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic (recovery mode) then two Memory test options [22:29] first [22:29] CIDR, if you are happy with unencrypted or analog then thats fine [22:29] Cottus: I am not sure sorry. is the command grub-install --boot or should it be grub-install -root ? i found a site online that is showing the same command using root instead of boot. [22:30] MissVera, either [22:30] escott, I just went with the first Ubuntu option. [22:30] I am, so reccomendations on software? [22:31] J-Escobar, it's --boot-directory= [22:31] CIDR, the v4l project is the place to go for information on hardware http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page [22:31] Cottus: ok, I am running 10.04 if that helps any.

[22:31] CIDR, they can also point you at software [22:32] escott, and Im on a page with quite a few lines of info and it doesnt appear to be going anywhere. at the top it says something about Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) [22:32] Cottus: Did you get what I said after that? It was 'Cottus: When I unchecked and then checked that, syslog showed NetworkManager saying "sleeping or disabling..." immediately after recording the check/uncheck.' [22:32] MissVera, ok. then back to the livecd [22:33] escott, did you need any info from this page of stuff? [22:33] ok ok , you better ask in ##networking , can you see a list of wireless networks? [22:33] MissVera, no. couldn't find the root. thats all we need to know [22:34] escott: thanks for all your help. i'm giving up for now. will come back tomorrow with a fresh head.

[22:38] J-Escobar, you can try "grub-install --root-directory=/media/thedir/boot /dev/sda" [22:39] MissVera, ok. we can go through the whole chrooting process again. if you remember it. sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev same for /proc and /sys [22:39] J-Escobar, i don't even know if it is a grub problem , you should know that [22:39] I just deleted everything in my home directory by misstake with "sudo rm -rf * ~/.Private/", its about 4 months of hard work so I need professional help here, please do not troll. How do I restore them? [22:39] ok how via terminal change the directory for example i want into parallels tools? [22:39] Cottus, J-Escobar, its --boot-directory [22:40] escott, I dont remember it, sorry. :x [22:40] !undelete | wizack [22:40] wizack: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [22:40] Cottus: ok i will give it a shot. [22:40] MissVera, peggys_mouse start by mounting the installed ubuntu system with "sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu" [22:40] MissVera, peggys_mouse then bind mount the special filesystems. "sudo mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev; sudo mount --bind /sys /media/ubuntu/sys; sudo mount --bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc" [22:40] escott: the --boot-directory command was not working. [22:41] hello [22:41] J-Escobar, try from a chroot then. i find that easier see ^^^^ [22:41] wizack, also testdisk, [22:41] MissVera, J-Escobar, finally sudo chroot /media/ubuntu [22:42] * Cottus thinking chroot is the best! === Cottus is now known as chroot [22:42] Hello there. I am wondering do apt-cache and / or aptitude save (cache's) the packages it has downloads ? if so where are they ? === chroot is now known as Cottus [22:42] ccolorado: /var/cache/apt/archives [22:43] VirtualBlackness: tanks [22:43] Cottus, escort I get this when I try --boot-directory http://pastebin.com/T2QnP6aQ should I just add sudo chroot before the command and try again? [22:43] escott Cottus Thanks guys. I'm nervous. [22:43] wizack, you should be [22:43] J-Escobar, can you chroot ? [22:43] one question, I need to install ubuntu on a netbook and I don´t have a usb drive at hand, can I boot from a cd on a remote pc drive? [22:44] wizack, since your data is encrypted its going to be hard to even distinguish it from free unallocated space [22:44] with some kind of network booting [22:44] :O [22:44] Cottus: when I chroot it just gives me a chroot: missing operand [22:44] sure [22:44] ok [22:44] wait [22:45] !chroot [22:45] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [22:45] hi. if i install the ge [22:45] J-Escobar, i'll send you some commands to chroot [22:45] J-Escobar, you have a different usage message from me. not sure what version of grub you have. to use the chroot you have to bind mount the special filesystems then chroot in. see the instructions I was giving MissVera above [22:45] Cottus: ok thank you [22:45] sorry. if i install the guest additions in virtual box the virtual system is still completely seperated from my host system, isn't it? [22:45] np [22:45] Cottus escott: Should I "reboot" or kill the system via the switch? [22:45] J-Escobar, start by mounting the installed ubuntu system with "sudo mkdir /media/ubuntu; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/ubuntu" [22:46] J-Escobar, then bind mount the special filesystems. "sudo mount --bind /dev /media/ubuntu/dev; sudo mount --bind /sys /media/ubuntu/sys; sudo mount --bind /proc /media/ubuntu/proc" [22:46] wizack, you are still logged in? [22:46] escott: Yes [22:46] is there anyway to install cinnamon in 12.04? [22:47] wizack, and its not giving you lots of errors? [22:47] escott: No... weird [22:47] anyone knowing about my question? [22:47] wizack, im torn between the "immediate shutdown" and the "maybe some of your data could be pulled from the FUSE VFS memory" [22:47] i7c it is completely separated from your host file system, unless you specifically point a virtual folder... however it will (obviously) use a lot of the hw... and there is crossover with regard to the desktop environment (mouse etc) [22:47] escott: It show all my files on the Desktop and so on even if they are not there physically [22:47] wizack, if you try and cat them does it give you IO errors? [22:48] wizack, it may only allow you to save data from files that you have recently read or have open file handles, but id say your chances of getting anything back are slim [22:49] okay, I got a really weird issue here [22:49] escott: cat: /home/beloved/Desktop/vinsatser.txt: No such file or directory [22:49] I just re-installed ubuntu on my thinkpad using a jump-drive live installation [22:49] VirtualBlackness: okay, but that means i dont have to worry that any bad software in the virtual system can affect the integrity of my host? (cuz my virtual system is windows eeew :D) [22:49] wizack, ok. in that case just shut it down [22:49] escott: How? [22:49] and it appears that the master boot record got written to the jump drive instead of my laptop's hard drive [22:49] wizack, doesn't really matter [22:50] Cottus: ok i have ran those commands. what is next? [22:50] source /etc/profile [22:50] escott: I removed with "sudo rm -rf ~/.Private/*" [22:50] env-update [22:50] grub-install /dev/sda [22:50] escott: Then everything went black [22:50] seriously, when I boot up with my jump drive now, my hard drive is registered as the root partition and everything [22:51] escott: What is .Private for? [22:51] i7c yes. You can get it as infected as you want. However if you pass files between it and linux, you will want to clean those files before passing them on again to another windows install... but the linux host will remain unaffected. [22:51] wizack, it holds the ciphertext for the encrypted home. ie its where the data really was. you deleted your entire home directory [22:51] escott: Shit, I use encrypted LVFS [22:51] Cottus: command env-update was not found. [22:51] np [22:52] what is the best gui editor for c/c++ programming? [22:52] sorry for the repetition, but I´m not sure if my messages get published [22:52] VirtualBlackness: thanks for your help :) [22:52] wizack, .Private is for ecryptfs. not sure why you would have ecryptfs AND LVFS [22:52] does anyone know of a good, simple way to write a correct MBR to my hard drive? [22:52] op security, put ur boot partition on a usb stick [22:52] escott: I was asked upon install. [22:53] escott: Anything I should think of other than the link you gave me? [22:53] wizack, pray [22:53] J-Escobar, you basically entered the system now [22:53] escott: I do that now. Namaste. [22:53] angelixd, grub-install /dev/sdX [22:53] can I now be read? [22:53] y [22:53] yes nicfer [22:53] angelixd, what is currently mounted as /? [22:54] wasn´t identified before [22:54] escott: /dev/sda1 [22:54] angelixd, sudo grub-install /dev/sda [22:54] escott: Almost cryed [22:55] is there a way to clone my ubuntu part of the hdd (i dual boot with win7) so i can use ubuntu with my new ssd [22:55] on another note, shouldn't this be handled by the installer? [22:55] nicfer " to install ubuntu on a netbook and I don´t have a usb drive at hand, can I boot from a cd on a remote pc drive?" yes you can, connect the drive, boot your netbook and go into bios, it should be availabel in the boot menu [22:55] angelixd, sometimes it gets confused === Sir is now known as Guest91727 [22:56] when i typed in terminal: $ fbpanel i get this msg volume: can't open /dev/mixer [22:56] fbpanel: can't start plugin volume [22:56] how can I disable that plugin so i can run fbpanel? [22:56] it´s a desktop cd reader... [22:56] OerHeks: I think he is asking if he can somehow boot over network to another machines DVD.... is that correct nicfer [22:56] escott, wizack with a testdisk wouldn't it be possible to copy the folder intact? [22:56] escott: one hell of a thing to get confused about :-/ [22:57] yeah, that´s what i meant [22:57] escott, at times testdisk does not copy all file but empty [22:57] angelixd, or it had some error and just kept chugging along but the mbr never got set up. it happens [22:57] why does 2-finger swipe for desktopswitching endup being unuseably fast .. is that due to simulated momentum [22:57] Cottus, sorry whats the question? [22:57] well, hopefully this time it worked. let's see === tazjin|away is now known as tazjin [22:58] is testdisk enough ? and is it enought to just copy .private ? [22:58] nicfer: It would be pretty complicated if you could... you would have to setup a pxe boot and point to it as boot medium... I couldn't walk you through it. [22:59] chipotle_, you could just dd it, but only if its the same size. you could copy it. in either case you have to fix various things like bootloaders and /etc/fstab and initrds. you could also do !clone and reinstall [22:59] escott: thanks for the help. everything is fine now :-) [23:00] Cottus, he deleted .private. it no longer exists to copy [23:00] is it worth filing a bug or a blog post about this? [23:00] [15:59] (devslash) I'm using ssh to login into my server and starting a copy command but for some reason after about 10 minutes my ssh client says that the connection has become interrupted and the file copy operation stops. The server is Ubuntu based. Is there something I can do to have the file copy continue even if I disconnect and reconnect? [23:01] angelixd, we definitely dont need another blog post on this. if you want to try and recreate the problem and identify why its happening a detailed bug report would surely be appreciated [23:01] escott, Okay, I've done the sudo chroot /media/xubuntu [23:01] escott, nevermind, :" testdist is a program that shows deleted files and let you copy entire directory, however it does not always copy as expected , resulting in some empty files " [23:01] angelixd, but a "it happened once when the moon was in the seventh house, and jupiter was rising" isn't going to do much good for anyone [23:01] escott: fair enough :-P [23:02] MissVera, ok. run "sudo blkid | grep sda1" and take note of the UUID (long string of letters and numbers) [23:02] Escott any idea? [23:03] escott, K, did you want me to type out the UUID? [23:03] MissVera, compare that uuid to what is listed in /etc/fstab? does it match? run "grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg and see if it contains root=UUID= that UUID again [23:03] MissVera, you dont need to type it [23:03] escott, do I just type out /etc/fstab to see if it matches? [23:04] Youtube videos run faster in my google chrome. How fix it? Linus Torvads solution don't fixed that [23:04] devslash, use screen [23:04] what package provides the 'gear' or 'cog' at the top right, or is there an alternative way to log out, my 'gear' seems to be missing [23:04] devslash, you can run around nohup'ing everything but screen is going to be a bit nicer [23:04] Screen cp /food/foo2? [23:05] MissVera, cat /etc/fstab and look for that UUID [23:05] escott, I ran the latter command, and I dont see root=UUID= anywhere. Its only two lines worth of info.

[23:06] MissVera, in particular what follows root=???? [23:07] escott, cat /etc/fstab has two UUID numbers. one for ext4 and one for swap. the one under ext4 matches, the one under swap does not [23:08] aaas: indicator-session if you are using unity or gnome-panel with indicator-applet [23:08] devslash, basically when you ssh in. run "screen" you get a new bash prompt. if you are disconnected ssh back in. run screen -ls it should list PID.tty#.hostname, and screen -r [TAB] should fill that in so you can reconnect to your disconnected session [23:09] MissVera, ok so fstab is correct [23:09] Okay thanks === brittnee is now known as cookiecache [23:09] trism thanks a bunch that worked easily [23:10] MissVera, so the key is that vmlinuz line of the grub.cfg [23:10] escott, for grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg the two lines, after root. root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash nomodeset $vt_handoff and then the other says root=/dev/sda1 ro recover nomodeset [23:10] MissVera, odd. sda1 is correct (although not ideal) [23:11] tyz. [23:11] MissVera, "grep UUID /etc/default/grub" what does it say? [23:12] MissVera, and here when I type UUID i mean "UUID" not the long string [23:12] d [23:12] [23:12] [23:12] SplinterOfChaos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

Your guess is as good as mine. lol... === nbd_ is now known as nbdntu === Gameid is now known as gameid [23:14] MissVera, going to start some dinner and ponder next steps [23:15] MissVera, its maybe worthwhile to run "update-initramfs" [23:15] is there an ubuntu offtopic channel? [23:15] why is ubuntu server installer so ugly?

[23:15] nbdntu: console apps, gotta be able to install it on *anything* [23:15] NDPMacBook: it's utilitarian. [23:15] escott, i tried to update all the packages last night, and it said i ran out of room, so it never did. but that was after the install. Which, was also weird, because I had 50gb of free space. [23:15] thank you, Myrtti . [23:16] yeah, but installer should try X first... and then console if X fails [23:16] *i think* [23:17] there is X server available for ubuntu server? [23:17] i'll be able to install X later? [23:17] escott, i tried 'update-initramfs' and id said i need to specify at least one of -s, -u, or -d [23:17] nbdntu: yah you can install it later [23:18] Escott ok I used screen then disconnected from my server and logged back in. How do I reattach to the screen session I started previously? [23:18] beandog: thanks! :D [23:18] NDPMacBook: of course, ubuntu server is a subset of ubuntu with some tweaks for servers, but it's ultimately connected to the same repositories. === fire is now known as Guest74270 [23:18] whoopse [23:18] sorry NDPMacBook [23:18] that was for you nbdntu [23:18] * Cottus thinks sometimes disc is full ( inode ) by <- the number of files [23:18] :p [23:18] I need to sleep [23:18] i would like to capture values of a current meter by (web)camera to make statistics. ocr not very helpful yet. anyone who would like to play around a bit?

[23:23] Raven you can buy meters with RS 232 output and logging software for <$100 [23:24] what's wrong lolly? [23:24] Thanks guys its working perfectly now [23:24] i want to install win7 on ubuntu but it has wrong hard disk type or something [23:24] how can i solve dat [23:24] hello folks :) [23:25] lolly, what was the exact error message? [23:25] escott, k. generating /bot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic and then it just back to the root@xubuntu:/# [23:25] hmm 1 min [23:25] boot* [23:25] gdi [23:25] i am using xfce+cinnamon ,can i remove xfce ? [23:25] aguitel: sure, then you can only log into cinnamon afterwards [23:25] it says for win7 u need NTFS [23:26] i7c, thanks [23:26] MissVera, ok. so im tempted to try and hand edit the grub.cfg. this is probably easiest from a gui so you can cut and paste. so open a new terminal and type "gksudo gedit /media/ubuntu/boot/grub/grub.cfg" [23:26] lolly: that is right. you cannot install win7 on the same partition like ubuntu [23:26] let's see if I can get help with something minor.. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 and need to activate ctrl+alt+backspace to work, but it doesn't work. [23:26] can't figure out why any param will not work http://codepad.org/8vXHAqgA [23:26] lolly, ok. boot the livecd and select "try ubuntu" then use gparted to shrink the ext4 partition of ubuntu [23:26] i7c, how remove all xfce? [23:27] lolly don't forget to backup data first, if you start resizing partitions [23:27] aguitel: sudo apt-get remove xfce4 and after that you can run a sudo apt-get autoremove [23:27] aguitel: the second command will remove all unused packages such as xfce plugins [23:27] i7c, and what about this? :http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [23:27] ok thanks will try === harout is now known as asdf1234 [23:27] any hints on how i can turn unity to 3d ?

[23:28] i`d like the click and drag between workstations to work [23:28] cathie, you would need to make an xorg.conf and enable zapping [23:28] hey i edited my grub2 configuration but for some reason its not taking effect once i restart [23:28] escott, *gksudo:11075): Gtk-WARNING ** Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "equinox", [23:28] wow sounds complecated [23:28] aguitel: the one for "xubuntu" should work for you also [23:28] zamn, if you edited /etc/default/grub you would need to run update-grub [23:29] i did [23:29] MissVera, but the gui should appear [23:29] i7c, ok [23:29] cathie system settings, keyboard, shortcuts .... but it's ot logout, it's stopping X [23:29] aguitel: this one removes a little bit more than the one i told you. also removes programs that come with xfce like editors etc [23:29] not [23:29] escott, nothing appeared.. still just on terminal.

[23:29] n [23:29] MissVera, you ran this in a new terminal correct [23:29] escott, yes. [23:30] Can some one give me a hand with this snippet of code. http://codepad.org/25D7zdJa [23:30] raven, where do you have the output shown? in the screen? [23:30] escott, also, everytime i tried to gksudo anything, it never worked. I had to sudo nano. [23:30] stopbit: you're comparing a character to a string [23:31] MissVera: on a whim, can I please have the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA while I backscroll through your issue? [23:31] L3top, should I do this in a new terminal? And while you're backscrolling, realize I know nothing about any of this :/ [23:32] can someone tell me where the default location for apache-tomcat is in ubuntu server? [23:32] I think Raven is a bot [23:32] Saiki: just find it. Type in termina: sudo find / -name "apache" [23:32] any terminal will do MissVera... but it looks like escott is on the right track. I just want to eliminate a bad video driver [23:32] Cottus yes i capture the watts with a webcam on full 320x240 and i already changed the video input to black/white and very obvious chars but i got no useful value out of the ocr [23:32] as a compounding issue [23:34] MissVera, generally not recommended but since this is a livecd nothing is permanent. try "sudo gedit /media/ubuntu/grub/grub.cfg [23:34] zamn: no results === lloir is now known as Lloir|ZzZz [23:34] L3top, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controll [0300]: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[23:35] escott, sudo: gedit: command not found [23:35] raven, for the info [23:35] MissVera, what is the gui text editor in xubuntu? [23:35] single user mode in ubuntu [23:35] how to do that? [23:36] MissVera, gvim? if you are comfortable with it? [23:36] Hey all. On some boots, I don't have any sound devices appearing in my Sound preferences. A reboot tends to fix it. Does anyone have a reboot-less workaround suggestion? (Restarting pulse doesn't help.) [23:36] emm... one question i dunno what version of ubuntu do i have so i downloaded it from official site and now trying to install it on flash for livecd or whatever, is it matters if i have different ubuntu version? can i still use gparted programm? [23:36] escott, I don't know. And, I'm using te Voyager edition of Xubuntu, if that helps... Someone had recommended it to me. [23:36] lolly: gparted is available for any version of ubuntu [23:36] lolly, you can use your old install cd thats fine [23:36] escott, I dont know what gvim is :x [23:36] thats a problem cuz i dont have it [23:37] escott: I see... but bringing up unity gui on a km400 is going to be... fun without these issues. The best driver she will have available is the openchrome, and I would not expect more than 2d unity. It is an integrated micro/pico itx board without a lot of umph. Just be mindful if only terminal hits. [23:37] MissVera, what is listed in the gui menu under text editors [23:37] L3top, she is running xubuntu [23:37] Raven why not use a voltmeter that puts out RS-232 and not bother with OCR? [23:37] escott: gvim might be scary for an uninitiated user [23:37] nm then escott. Sorry to intrude [23:37] L3top, not a problem [23:38] MissVera: What are you trying to do? === Guest91071 is now known as Daddy [23:38] escott, I dont even know where/what the gui menu is... I started using linux distro's a week ago. [23:38] L3top, if you've got any ideas i would appreciate them. grub.cfg lists root=/dev/sda1 which is correct, but the kernel panic'ed when it couldn't find root on (0,0) === Daddy is now known as Pops [23:38] L3top, presumably the full message was couldn't find root on hd(0,0) or something [23:38] Jordan_U_bak, not fail at life. I dont even know anymore. One problem leads into another and i dont have any clue whats going on anymore. [23:38] MissVera: the GUI is the graphical interface, as opposed to the command line. A GUI menu means one you can see and click on [23:38] No Voice for me? [23:39] gksudo leafpad? [23:39] Ghostchick [23:39] This distro hates me [23:39] L3top, as MissVera typed it out her panic was: "not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)" [23:39] so? [23:39] escott: The grub.cfg should have root=UUID=foo , not root=/dev/sda1. It sounds like you don't have any initrd (and grub knows that passing root by UUID only works with an initrd, so it doesn't do it). Ubuntu requires an initrd to boot. [23:40] Also for gui application it is always preferable to use gksudo ; sudo is for terminal commands only [23:40] MissVera, the hardware is pretty .... special, lets just say special :) [23:40] zamn: looks like it goes in /usr/share/tomcat6-* how do I add other pages? [23:40] sorry to backtrack MissVera have you got pastebinit installed? Or can you install it as you have no GUI? === mgodzilla is now known as theothermgodzill === theothermgodzill is now known as mgodzilla [23:40] MissVera: What was the original problem? [23:40] escott, lol. It's old. It belongs to a group of children. I wanted to find something lightweight for them to do schoolwork on. [23:40] Saiki: what do you mean add other pages? your configuration files should be in /etc/apache or apache2 [23:41] MissVera, what does "ls /media/ubuntu/boot/init*" say? [23:41] L3top Ive pastebin'd something before, i put the url in earlier [23:41] it is capable of running... for the record. I have several of them doing various things. === Gameid is now known as gameid [23:41] MissVera: when did the problem start to occur? Right after you installed ubuntu? [23:41] MissVera, that was a previous boot. you would have to reinstall it [23:41] MissVera: can you please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l?

Would it be.. sudo fdisk -1 | pastebinit ? [23:43] Guest74270: what's the problem there? [23:43] sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit lower case L not 1 [23:43] the icons are doubled [23:43] MissVera, im just chasing down something Jordan_U_bak said. can you go back to the terminal that was chrooted (the first one and not the new one) and run "update-grub; grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and see if it still says root=/dev/sda1 [23:43] Now I'm getting confused. Beyond confused. too many people saying commands and ideas at once. [23:43] like a double shadow [23:44] Guest74270: ah, I had to look from a higher angle to see [23:44] bizarre [23:44] escott are they paying u for this kind of job? :) [23:44] MissVera: I am not trying to confuse. Just help. I will wait for you to complete escotts request. I am walking in, he is familiar. [23:44] L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1072212/ [23:45] L3top, BHSPitMonkey, Jordan_U_bak for everyone trying to help MissVera. installed on /dev/sda1. kernel panic couldn't find root. grub.cfg lists root=/dev/sda1, /etc/default/grub says use UUID. fstab UUID is correct. initrd is updated. chipset is S3 junk... but that would seem to be unrelated to the kernel panic [23:46] Ty MissVera. Now please follow escott's requests. Further communication from me will be with him. [23:46] my only thought was to edit the grub.cfg to list a UUID by hand. im not sure what else it could be except a northbridge driver issue (knowing that this has S3 thats more likely) [23:46] escott: often (esp with these) KP occurs with unrecognized nic. [23:47] escott: though this does not seem related to the message puked [23:47] problem with the installer? [23:48] escott, on both lines, it doesnt say root=dev it says root=UUID=longstringof numbers. on both. [23:48] MissVera, ok thats NEW :) [23:48] I'm having a lot of difficulty finding wifi drivers for the alfa awus036nhr for unbuntu 11.10 or anything >= the 3.0 kernel [23:48] ok i have a problem, when trying to do livecd thing it says: "Start booting from USB device... [23:49] MissVera, maybe we didn't have an initrd before running update-initramfs. now that we do maybe we will get lucky. make sure that UUID matches the previous UUID [23:49] SYSLINUX 3.84 2009-12-18 EBIOS and nothing [23:49] Jordan_U_bak, thanks for the pointer on initrd presence [23:50] lolly: what version? [23:50] lolly: of ubuntu I mean === gameid is now known as Gameid [23:50] on usb device or installed on notebook? [23:50] MissVera, the one you found with sudo blkid | grep sda1 [23:52] lolly: usb... [23:52] newest one i think, that what i downloaded from official site [23:52] escott, sorry, little confused. Am I tying sudo blkid | grep sda1 to see if the UUID matches the one i just saw attached to root= ? [23:52] MissVera, yes [23:53] i was asking before can i use newest version for live cd if i already have another version installed on notebook [23:53] lolly: the newest one would be quantal. [23:53] the current offical release is 1204 lts [23:54] yeah dat one [23:54] escott, Yup, it matches [23:55] MissVera, ok. lets try another reboot then :) if we get the root up i may leave you to someone else for the inevitable video issues [23:55] Are we still using a 3 yr old iso/syslinux? [23:57] during boot it took me directly to grub, even though I didnt push shift? [23:57] MissVera, thats fine [23:57] Can anyone point me in the direction of an encrypted file/directory/user-home system where by default the keys are not on the system? E.g. I have a VPS, want to store documents on it. ~/Documents is only unlocked when I (exchange a key over SSH?) unlock it [23:58] escott, so far, no error screen, and no black screen with a cursor..... so far its loading it.. [23:58] IT LOADED [23:58] jvdz, you could keep your ecryptfs keys on removable media [23:58] i dunno bro, my uncle gaved me his shitty notebook with ubuntu installed on it and said fix it i want win7 on my notebook, i said ok np, i dunno what is version of his ubuntu and so on, all i want is to change type of hard disk on NTFS so i can install dat win7 [23:59] !cookie | escott [23:59] escott: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [23:59] escott: Ecrypt… I will have to look into that. [23:59] lmao [23:59] L3top, thanks!
