[00:02] kroaken: now did u install the driver and what happens during/afterwards? [00:02] how === passcod|away is now known as passcod === HardFu is now known as HardFu|AFK [00:05] i am having a issue with my 11.10 system, i upgraded the videocard and i am not getting video after it boots to the login screen [00:05] i can ssh into the system [00:05] what happens if you press shift, into grub [00:05] and boot into "safe" mode [00:05] ? [00:05] during boot that is [00:06] havent tried give me a minute [00:06] http://xubuntu.org/help | Offtopic: #xubuntu-offtopic [00:06] * Topic for #xubuntu set by knome!lallinaho@ubuntu/member/knome at Tue May 8 03:03:09 2012 [00:06] -ChanServ- [#xubuntu] Welcome to #xubuntu.

[00:07] My dvd player reads DVDs and mounts if they [00:07] sorry. don't know how that happened [00:07] you fought the floodbot and the floodbot won .. [00:07] douglas: You probaly hit middle mouse button, (instead of left one). [00:08] Barnabas: Obviously an accident... [00:08] I know [00:08] lol. i guess. On my laptop so layouts are different for me..lol [00:08] still funny [00:08] How do i enable secondary logon in Ubuntu? [00:09] drsteinberg: Add user [00:09] My dvd player reads DVDs and mounts if they have data on them but I can't get any of my burning software to acknowledge a blank dvd.. Any suggestions? [00:09] drsteinberg: adduser #From terminal.... [00:10] douglas, for a new blank dvd? [00:10] yeah [00:10] douglas, thats weird, the volume should hold no file system what so ever [00:11] so if i'm an admin, i really don't need to enable anything? [00:11] hello again, btw i have accidentaly remove update-rc.d, how to restore it again anyway? [00:11] douglas: You write data to blank disks, (no reading involved so...) [00:11] when i go into k3b it doesn't acknowledge the fact that I ave a disk. [00:11] I looked at k3bsetup but I really don't know what I'm looking at. [00:11] it didnt give me a option for safe mode [00:12] usr13, but how does linux even know how to try to mount a blank dvd .. [00:12] douglas: k3bsetup [00:12] ^^ === kroaken is now known as Guest70148 [00:12] Barnabas: You don't mount a blank disk, (blank disks are not mountable). [00:12] usr13, excatly [00:12] ok, well now if anyone has advice for an Error 3007 in Diablo 3, please let me know. It's pretty frustrating, everything has been cycled but no dice, at all. [00:13] Barnabas: Let's start over.... ...??? [00:13] Barnabas: it doesent give me a safemode option [00:14] usr13, perhaps not a problem then .. [00:14] hello, anyone? [00:14] Neytiri, really what exact version of ubuntu are you trying to run? [00:14] !find update-rc.d [00:14] File update-rc.d found in insserv, manpages-fr-extra, manpages-pl, multistrap, sysv-rc, zsh, zsh-beta [00:14] Barnabas: The blank disk, in and of itself, does nothing. It is up to you to fire up a disk writing application and provide data or iso. [00:14] Neytiri, afaik all recent versions of ubuntu have a "SAFE" option in the boot sequence [00:14] e0ne199, perhaps reinstall the sysv-rc package. [00:15] anyone have any idea why k3b wouldn't see my blank dvd? [00:15] usr13, agree [00:15] douglas, its looking for /dev/dvd which is an invalid link perhaps. [00:15] if i open an mp3 file from a ntfs partition and iam running ubuntu where this file temporarily located to? [00:16] Barnabas: See: cdrecord & growisofs [00:16] studio, located to? if you open it.. its getting read from the NTFS partition.. [00:16] usr13, know them [00:16] usr13, that was not the origian question [00:16] usr spool back [00:16] Ok, just general FYI [00:17] studio, if you mean wheres the NTFS filesystmes mountpoint.. if its mounted on the fly by the user via gnome. it should be in the .gvfs directroy somewhere [00:17] usr13, not really needed :-) [00:17] ... wasn't just for your eyes [00:17] usr13, there was a story about a linux system trying to mount a blank dvd [00:17] never heard about that [00:18] douglas, did u try to burn it anyway? what happens if u do? [00:19] unless someone somewhere has started to make dvd's with an intitial dvd partition for some reason [00:20] Barnabas: Welcome to Ubuntu 11.10, thats what i get when i ssh is [00:21] Neytiri, sshd is not a part of the std ubuntu desktop dist, so I suppose you installed openssh? [00:21] Barnabas: maybe u wanted to say 'recovery mode'? [00:21] yes i did [00:21] romy420, yes I did [00:21] :-) [00:22] the issue is i changed from a nvidia gt9800 to a ATI radion 6770 graphics card [00:22] Neytiri, and my question is: [00:22] is the new gpu supported by fglrx [00:22] I use intel today [00:22] or nvidia [00:22] i dont know how would i find out [00:23] documentation for fglrx [00:23] Netyri, this gpu should be supported, boot recovery mode into a shell and then [00:23] sudo apt-get install fglrx [00:23] ok [00:23] worth trying [00:23] Hey guys, I had a power failure yesterday and now my hfs+ hard drive will not mount. It's showing up in fdisk. Is there any way to check the disk in linux? [00:23] though i'm not sure if the nvidia driver must be deinstalled before [00:24] romy420, but he used fglrx before [00:24] romy420 i will give it a try [00:24] simplyska: yes [00:24] on another gpu [00:24] simplyska: fsck [00:24] can anyone help me with a freezing issue? [00:24] i understood that he changed the graphics card and rebooted/booted up === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow [00:24] romy420, yes [00:24] simplyska: But it is normally done, when needed, during normal bootup. [00:25] if the chipset is compatible that should be ok [00:25] then i'd say the ati driver must be installed now [00:25] romy420, it was before the old gpu was also an ati [00:25] it's a newer card, they are all supported (with some bugs oc) [00:25] using fglrx [00:25] :-) [00:25] i have an interesting delima. i need to install a USB wifi adapter to a mac book g3 ubuntu install with out having access to the internet on the mac book (ethernet port is physically broken) how difficult could this be? [00:25] romy420, but perhaps the device id has changed btw [00:26] Someone advice me a good website to install FGLRX proprially !!!! [00:26] the pci identity [00:26] Barnabas, he said nvidia gt9800 [00:26] simplyska: You can try tho... If the partition in question is sda2, try this: fsck -y /dev/sda2 [00:26] please !!! [00:26] someone ! [00:27] HELLO? [00:27] ok romy420 fglrx is installed [00:27] simplyska: ... but you will obviously need to do it from a liveCD or USB or another running [Linux] system. [00:27] usr13_: does fsck support gpt? would it be safer to check it from my mac instead? [00:28] Hi guys, I've installed Ubuntu in a Xen DomU instance and it's not loading xen-netfront or xen-blkfront, but is booting. I can't get access to network. Please help. [00:28] Nertriya, reboot, if hte screen goes black after grub or something like that, then add nomodeset in the grub boot options [00:28] Any way to get radicale to install via apt-get in lucid? There seem to only be packages starting from natty [00:28] romy420 i have video up untill the login screen comes up [00:28] I'm not sure if I should be asking this on #ubuntu or #vbox or elsewhere, but I have Ubuntu 12.04 running in a VirtualBox guest, and it's just decided not to load X, saying "The system is running in low-graphics mode", etc. [00:28] romy420, who came up with the idea of making the console vga ... [00:29] Barnabas .. idk, whatdo u mean? [00:29] It then gives me four options: "Run in low graphics mode", "Configure graphics", "Troubleshoot this error", "Exit to console login" [00:29] figured out my problem with my disks.. and I'd rather not say why it didn't work but I did find my answer.. :p [00:29] Neytiri, and then? graphical login ok? [00:29] romy420, the console itself is in graphics mode in ubuntu [00:29] simplyska: Ok, too many acronyms.... What is gpt ? [00:29] on newer versions [00:30] romy420 once it gets to the point of the graphical login it goes blank [00:30] yeah, but grub should work [00:30] "Reconfigure graphics" brings up two options, "Use default (generic) graphics", and "Use your backed-up configuration", but neither of these work [00:30] they just re-display the menu [00:30] usr13_: It's the partition table of my disk [00:31] simplyska: So you believe that the partition table is hosed? [00:31] so I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and now my usb scanner does not work.... can anyone give a clue? [00:31] Neytiri .. that's bad. i guess it must be configured 1st, not sure how to do this, forgot the command [00:31] wait [00:31] "Exit to console login doesn't even work".. although I can get to a root console by holding shift when the machine boots and going into recovery mode [00:31] simplyska: Does the grub boot loader appear at all? [00:31] *"Exit to console login" doesn't even work [00:31] amagee, because it is vga .. [00:32] simplyska: Are you saying gpt in refering to MBR? [00:32] Barnabas: hmm? [00:32] usr13_: it's a second hard disk used for data storage [00:32] simplyska: What file system is on it? How many partitions are on it? [00:32] Help: I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04LTS and now my usb scanner does not work.... can anyone give a clue? [00:33] not all unix servers have a gpu at all - is my argument [00:33] usr13_: It's hfsplus with only 1 partition [00:33] simplyska: If it is a second HDD, why not just use the Ubuntu system it is installed in to try to correct file system errors? [00:33] some just a terminal [00:33] another discussion [00:34] simplyska: Ok... what is hfsplus ? [00:35] usr13_: It's an Apple file system used in their Mac's [00:35] romy420: waht do i do? [00:36] simplyska: Oh HFS, well yes, indeed, use OSX to try and correct file system erros. [00:37] simplyska: The bottom line is, that it is always best to correct filesystem errors from the platform of origin. === diddledan is now known as zz_diddledan [00:38] Neytiri: this configures your ati card: sudo aticonfig --initial [00:38] usr13_: Yeah I thought as much, although I was hoping there would be a safe way to check it in Linux to save me the hassle of taking out the drive. [00:39] romy420 command not found [00:39] oops [00:39] usr13_: Thanks anyway === zz_diddledan is now known as diddledan [00:39] i am trying to follow the instructions here: https://github.com/harrah/xsbt/wiki/Getting-Started-Setup [00:40] How do I see my kernel .config settings? [00:40] simplyska: Well, you can probably just use fsck [00:40] it says i need to add the Typesafe Debian Repository; but it doesn't show me how to do it manually; just tries to get me to download a .deb file [00:40] simplyska: Although I'm not really sure, but OSx may use the same. [00:40] so, i download teh file; but when it comes up inside the software manager; i hit install, and it just hangs for a second or two and then nothing happens [00:40] Neytiri: pls try this: sudo Xorg -configure [00:41] so, I guess my question is, how can i add the typesafe debian repository? [00:41] simplyska: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man8/fsck.8.html [00:41] are you on ssh now? [00:41] yes [00:41] simplyska: It appears my assumption may be correct.... [00:42] usr13_: Ah good find! [00:42] it would be better to do these commands on recovery mode, then without 'sudo' [00:42] same thing here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html#deb [00:43] i am loged in as root [00:43] ok, you can also check if the modeule is loaded by 'lsmod | grep fglrx' [00:43] then try to start the configuration [00:44] can i send you the output of the command in a PM [00:44] better paste it to pastebin or so [00:44] hrm; i just did dpkg -i on it and it went fine [00:45] if there is no output from lsmod then the module isnt loaded [00:45] romy420: fglrx 2928969 0 [00:47] Neytiri: that's good ... now : aticonfig --initial [00:47] 3 [00:47] aticonfig: command not found [00:48] should be included in the driver but anyway, then: Xorg -configure [00:49] romy420: http://pastebin.com/rWpdGkGF [00:50] Neytiri, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18939.0 [00:50] aticonfig is probably there but not in your path [00:51] ok [00:51] ok .. i'll have a look. on my desktop aticonfig is part of fglrx and is located in /usr/lib/fglrx/bin [00:52] Neytiri: What is your issue? Have you installed an additional video driver? [00:53] it still tries to load the nvidia driver [00:53] romy420: .... after...? [00:53] usr13: i changed video cards [00:53] Neytiri: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:53] ok if all fails add the nvidia driver to the modprobe blacklist [00:53] in /etc [00:53] usr13_, graphics changed from nvidia to ati [00:54] Neytiri: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:54] oh no what am I going to do everything is working fine. [00:54] Neytiri, no no [00:54] usr13 done [00:54] backup that file first [00:54] argh [00:54] just installed the fglrx but the kernel doesnt know it [00:54] too late [00:54] Neytiri: Now you should get an X session [00:54] sigh [00:54] Neytiri: You should be able to login now. Right? [00:55] rebooting [00:55] mornin/evenin all [00:55] mornin [00:55] romy420: If the kernel doesn't know it, it hasn't been installed. [00:56] yes it was loaded [00:56] usr13, please tell ppl to backup their config .. [00:56] Barnabas: Are you suggesting that one should backup a config that is obviously not working? [00:57] yes [00:57] if not for reference [00:57] I don't think so. It's not like he's going to write it by hand... [00:57] exactly [00:58] she, but thats not important [00:58] Now-days, when new video drivers are installed, the config is automatically written, so... [00:58] i got my login screen now [00:58] Question: From what I read and experienced, Unity 3D does not want to work on 64-bit. Is that true? [00:59] got a few Q's about pureftp/pureadmin on 12.04 64 bit desktop if someone has some time (*.nix newb here) [00:59] Neytiri: :-) [00:59] Neytiri: Now you can continue to install any additional video driver software you may need. [00:59] ... from the GUI [00:59] "Hardware Drivers" [01:00] Neytiri, to check if you have the glx extensions installed glxinfo is really good [01:00] ero-jiji: Ask away.... [01:00] if you want a glx desktop [01:00] glxinfo | grep direct [01:00] one sec, rebooting and logging back in through x2go to make sure im giving the right info [01:01] glxinfo | grep vendor [01:02] hello guys, i am using xubuntu, sort of latest. How do i adjust screen brightness on my notebook? (acer one) Sry im new to ubuntu.. [01:02] Neytiri: They are wanting you to issu command: glxinfo |grep direct #in a terminal and see what it says.... [01:02] working on it [01:02] Barnabas what'w a glx desktop [01:02] what's [01:03] ok, clean install + package updates, installed pure-ftpd, installed pureadmin, ran pureadmin, let it create the files, restarted pureftpd. created a user account via pureadmin [01:03] root@Pandora:~# glxinfo | grep ati [01:03] Error: unable to open display [01:03] root@Pandora:~# glxinfo [01:03] Error: unable to open display [01:03] root@Pandora:~# [01:03] Neytiri: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:03] verified the passwords are same [01:03] https://gist.github.com/087dc316a566d1cfc483 [01:03] well not exactly sudo su - [01:04] after i loged in [01:04] Neytiri: That command will not work when issued by root. [01:04] ok [01:04] did i miss a step somewhere? [01:04] Neytiri: If they said sudo glxinfo .... Well, yes, they would be indicating it should be run as root, but they didnt [01:05] neytiri@Pandora:~$ glxinfo [01:05] Error: unable to open display [01:05] Neytiri: You should be VERY careful issing commands as root. [01:05] perhaps you need to sudo glxinfo [01:05] cannot tell [01:05] ran it as root did the same thing [01:05] actually i tried this by myself some sconds ago, via SSH [01:05] https://gist.github.com/087dc316a566d1cfc483 < why are there mismatched versions in the repos? [01:05] guys pls anyone help me. How can i adjust screen brightness on xubuntu? [01:06] after i did 'export DISPLAY=0.0' it worked [01:06] before same error msg [01:06] Neytiri: romy420 sudo apt-get install mesa-utils === M4ssKill3r[BDC] is now known as kracker[BDC] [01:06] Barnabas: [01:07] ^^^^^^^^^ [01:07] Why is libssl1.0.0-1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3 in the repo, whereas the adjoining development package - libssl-dev-1.0.1-4ubuntu5.2 [01:07] Why is libssl1.0.0-1.0.1-4ubuntu5.3 in the repo, whereas the adjoining development package - libssl-dev-1.0.1-4ubuntu5.2 is not the repo [01:07] mona: There should be keys on the keyboard for that, prolly f-keys [01:07] usr13_: i have em installed, in my case it was due to the ssh connection [01:08] romy420: export DISPLAY=:0.0 [01:08] .... will solve that prolbme [01:08] *problem* [01:08] right, i did that .. pls see above [01:08] o [01:08] of course with the ip added :) [01:10] even though i have no idea why this is necessary [01:10] usr13, these dont work, is does nothing.. [01:12] mona: are u at a notebook? [01:13] mona: Start -> Settings -> Desktop -> Brightness #use the slider.... [01:13] I think mona is gone, :( [01:14] tried the wrong key? [01:14] romy420: Why what is necessary? [01:14] romy420: I don't understand the part about adding the IP [01:15] usr13_: why it would be necessary to export the display befire starting some cli program [01:15] and the ip u add because i'm logged in over ssh from my notebook [01:17] i did not use ssh -X but by exporting the displayone can start X programs anyway [01:17] romy420: you don't understand why it is necessary to export the display before starting a cli program that diagnoses problems with 3D acceleration setup? [01:18] when i read what u wrote i think i get it :) [01:19] romy420: Just because you issue a command in a terminal, does not mean it does not need display access. For example, try xrandr (without first doing export DISPLAY=:0.0 ) [01:20] can any linux DE's use 2-finger trackpad rotate gesture to manipulate the Desktop Cube ... or 2-finger Zoom-gesture for 'Expo' [01:21] usr13_: that's right, but strange that Neytiri had to issue it, when already logged in to gui [01:21] ...

[03:51] then i check in gui and still root [03:51] in the gui it acts like its changing then switches back [03:52] i didnt use encrption or anything either so im kinda baffled [03:52] is there any tools for automatic build other then autotools or cmake . Or are those the standard ways of doing/ building make/configuration files automatically [03:52] just curious if that is the de facto standard [03:53] idk how would i find that out? [03:53] for c / c++ [03:53] gypsy: ok then there's something very wrong with your system. if your gui is actually changing permissions without permission I dunno what to do. [03:53] i did need to install gcc to the internal ssd at one point..... [03:53] well it was fine till i used proftpd [03:54] Hi all. I just installed ircd-irc2 and am looking for a way to setup nickserv/chanserv on it. Do I need to install another package? [03:54] oh yeah, and is the ftp deamon still running? kill it [03:55] motherbrain: still trying to compile? most source packets have a README or even an INSTALL file coming with them. these tell u how to proceed to compile the the software [03:56] yes I used that it works [03:57] ok.....so i killed everything i thought was connected to the drive.......now it tells me chown: cannot access `/mnt/sdc1': Transport endpoint is not connected [03:57] so udisk is not USB [03:58] because the procedure depends on the sources u have [04:00] dude and im logged in as root in my terminal [04:00] and its just not taking [04:00] motherbrain: to answer your original question: yes, make is pretty much the standard. There's a few projects running off on custom shell scripts and I swear I even saw one using PHP, but make is what's really used. For C/C++ [04:01] is there another path i can try? [04:01] gypsy: have you tried un-mounting and re-mounting it again? [04:01] -.-* yes...... [04:02] Pls. can someone let me know how to switch off slow window move when it follows the mouse? [04:02] i also tried turning it off and on again..... [04:03] gypsy: then I'm afraid I don't know much more. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can pick up from there === jiohdi is now known as jiohdibrb [04:03] "ello, it dept have you tried turning it off and on again..you have? well whats the problem then?.....your "cup holder"....i see......"

[04:05] and yes thats pretty much windows tech support all day long in campus and office environments.....-would sooner eat a bowl of bullets than go back- [04:05] gypsy: nononono, IT dept would be like "we don't support Linux, restart and boot into windows, please" [04:06] LMAO @ pass [04:06] hell armitage rips through winblows 08 server like a hot razor through butter.... [04:06] it's actually really REALLY sad [04:09] Well I just had something VERY strange and scary happen. I opened aptitude on my 12.04 LTS Server install, press U to update the cache, then selected the Upgradable Packages and Security Updates category and hit Go. [04:10] I came back a little later, hit enter and was surprised to see the Updates/Upgrades categories still had packages [04:10] So I selected them again and hit Go [04:10] This time the procedure immediately failed with a dpkg error about removing sudo being forbidden. I then went back and saw that the removal list had sudo in it for some reason. [04:11] I opened up /var/log/aptitude and I now see that aptitude just removed about 200 packages seemingly at random, deeming them unused. [04:11] This includes packages like 'time' [04:12] JeremyA: umm, are you using multi-arch?

What's in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch? [04:15] jrib: I did a dist-upgrade from 11.04 if I remember correctly [04:15] The file contains "foreign-architecture i386" [04:15] and that's it [04:16] JeremyA: if you read release notes for 12.04 (and I believe this has existed for previous releases as well), aptitude is broken with multi-arch. So you shouldn't use it if you are using multi-arch (which it seems you are) [04:16] Is multi-arch a package? [04:17] JeremyA: no, multi-arch allows you to install packages of different architectures. For example, installing i386 packages on an amd64 system === Kasjopaja23111 is now known as Kasjopaja [04:17] jrib: So just by installing libc32 or whatever it was, it set this up to happen === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest22012 [04:18] JeremyA: I don't know [04:19] I have an UBUNTU-SPECIFIC tomcat6 issue.

[04:19] Saiki: my guess is the first since the second one contains the word "skel" but I don't know. [04:20] jrib: what is "skel" supposed to actually mean? [04:20] Saiki: skeleton, like a base [04:20] jrib: My thought was to parse that log and run the list of packages through apt-get install. Is there any reason why that wouldn't work? [04:20] JeremyA: I guess that's fine, just read what it's going to do before agreeing [04:21] jrib: ah.. my tomcat6 is doing crazy things, like running new directories, but not ones I'm trying to run lol [04:21] question: ATI AMD 5700 Series Video Card, 12.04 upgrade, video just blinks out, and can't get it back, sometimes this happens at boot screen, sometimes it happens after the splash screen and sometimes this happens when I get to the desktop, also unity doesn't load, i researched online but couldn't find anyting helpful [04:21] did not happen with previous versions of Ubuntu [04:22] Just to say thanks! acpi=off worked [04:23] Is there a channel that is better for asking questions about bash scripting?

[06:26] L3top: i just wanted to send mail from the command line [06:26] originally i was going to install mailutils, but it had a dependency of postfix [06:26] Dependencies tend to exist for a reason. [06:27] and why do you not wish to have the dependency? [06:27] im sure there are valid reasons for the dependency [06:28] but id argue a package for "utils" should not require the installation of an entire server [06:28] that belies the very purpose of utils [06:28] Utils tends to be utility extras for a specific application... so... I would always expect it to download the intended package as a depend [06:29] eg alsa-utils is fairly useless without alsa-base [06:29] i think postfix-utils would be a perfectly suitable name then [06:29] L3top: nice example [06:30] Hi [06:30] How to LDS..

[07:13] hi - i just tried upgrading my 4th 10.04 lts virtual server from 10.04 to 12.04. It works without issues for the first 3 vms - but the 4th comes with issues and stopped the update. THe interesting part is: it reports now itself as 120.04 but apt throws tons of errors. anyone into checking the output with me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1111463/ [07:13] kanupatar: i don't know, i've never done it [07:13] hmm then how can i view the cd details ? [07:16] fidel_: what happens if you run 'sudo apt-get -f install' ?

[07:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1111475/ [07:19] i mean rabbitvcs for subversion [07:21] fidel_: try 'sudo rm -rf /var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/' then retry the 'sudo apt-get -f install' as it seems that there is something that hasn't properly cleaned up the defoma directory [07:22] gnome-activity-journal shows in the upper right a slider. What does this slider control? (The manpage of gnome-activty-journal is insufficient.) [07:24] timfrost: thats what i actualy did some minutes before looks good [07:24] is still running - bascially there was a single file: id-cache in the folder [07:25] o/ [07:25] but it looks fine so far. somehow i am impressed - never had a that long apt-error output ;) [07:25] timfrost: thanks for helping [07:26] fidel_: that sounds hopeful. II wonder where that file came from (and why it was left behind on that one system) [07:26] yep same here [07:26] hi [07:27] this is my ssh config gile: http://paste.scsys.co.uk/203614 [07:27] i loggin to ssh with username and password now [07:27] i want to make public and private key [07:27] and use keys to login for it [07:27] how do it?

[07:29] Sling: what happens if it is audio cd? [07:29] Erwyn: yes. it give me a public key [07:29] kanupatar: that iso defines the audio cd format [07:30] okay in you .ssh you should have a id_rsa and id_rsa.pub [07:30] is that true?

If your login on the server is not the same as your login on the PC, you need to use .ssh/config or a command line option to specify the remote user [07:37] anyone around that knows about parted magic?

I have a 3G dongle connected to the Ubuntu box, a ethernet cable connecting it to the Mac, and I can ping, but no browse.

[07:46] dape8708: right click on desktop backgnourd [07:46] Murd0ck: your reference to parted live cd seemed to imply that you were running a live CD. good luck with the -pae kernels [07:47] dape8708: "modify desktop background" === richard is now known as Guest45478 [07:47] and you'll find an option at the bottom of the window to resizi icons [07:47] i have change destop background and no such option you mentioned [07:48] timfrost, read more about what i said about the live cd before commenting further [07:48] dape8708: click change desktop background [07:48] in the opened window, at the bottom there is a slide bar [07:50] Erwyn, http://i.imgur.com/qDEKX.png [07:50] dape8708: shit, got the french version [07:50] hello :) [07:50] what is ure ?

[08:28] is 32 bit safer? it's recommended on site [08:28] Xabster: It's not "safer" in any means. [08:28] Xabster: dunno, I personnaly only use 64 without problems [08:28] i mean safer as in less problems [08:28] hi. how can i set up wireless on 12.04 ithout a direct network connection? [08:29] No, there no problems with vbox and 64bit. [08:29] like, smooth try out [08:29] hi [08:29] bekks: how to change the password though? and where is the security if such a thing is possible [08:30] Hey I am confused between Linux Os and Linux server. What is th difference between the two??? [08:30] Erwyn: Insert a livecd/USB Stick, boot it, change your password. [08:30] aret: none [08:30] server doesnt have the gui desktop [08:30] aret: only packes selection [08:30] packages [08:30] Erwyn: if you allow to boot your machine from foreign media (dvd/usb/cd), you always have security issues [08:30] Erwyn: By design, there is NO security when someone has physical access to your computer - like yourself. [08:30] Erwyn: Whic is better?? [08:31] what if a homefolder is encrypted?! [08:31] Erwyn: Which is better?? [08:31] aret: what do you want to do? [08:31] can you still just change the password with a livecd and that's it?! [08:31] aret: There is no "better". [08:31] Xabster: Sure. [08:31] bekks: I want to learn linux [08:31] bekks: Erwyn :I want to learn Os [08:31] if you dont need a gui enviornment, the server build uses slightly less resources than the desktop build with the gui [08:32] that seems so madly idiotic [08:32] aret: Then install Ubuntu Desktop :) [08:32] Xabster: yes but your home folder will remain encrypted [08:32] other than that they are the same [08:32] oh ok [08:32] Greetings. [08:32] Has anyone noticed problems with Totem lately? [08:33] does anyone know if Always On USB works in Ubuntu ? [08:33] bekks: so I boot ubuntu live and then, how do I change the password? [08:33] ok,heres my issue.tried everything i could think of on my ownbut been using ubuntu less than a week>< 12.04 lts 64 bit desktop clean install + package updates, installed pure-ftpd, installed pureadmin, ran pureadmin, let it create the files, restarted pureftpd. created a user account via pureadmin. when i go to log in with the ftp client, everything goes good till password, then i get a 530 auth failed (verified passwords are the same, even [08:33] hello [08:33] ero-jiji: go to a chan about pureftpd [08:33] Erwyn: bekks Xabster :What does a server do ?? Ubuntu server [08:33] Erwyn: By creating a chroot environment, and changing your password using passwd. [08:33] In a VirtualBox, I was upgrading 11.10 to 12.04 and tried to take a screenshot of "Keep or revert sudoers file" dialog window. After that the whole screen froze, and it does not respond to any mouse clicks. Still can SSH into it though.. is my dist upgrade borked? [08:34] aret: A server provides services to other computers. [08:34] aret: same thing but without graphical environment [08:34] bekks: shit shit shit [08:34] okay [08:35] Erwyn: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-root-password [08:35] (Erwyn): could you suggest one by chance? first time usng irc as well [08:36] ero-jiji: I'd use vsftpd anyways, since pureftpd had severe security problems in the past. [08:37] Hi, I'm starting to go insane. I am unable to share my internet connection from my 12.04 box to my Mac (10.4.11). I have a 3G dongle connected to the Ubuntu box, a ethernet cable connecting it to the Mac, and I can ping, but no browse. However, if I remove the dongle and tether my phone to the ubuntu box, all works fine. I tried random changes to the MTU without much success. Any idea? [08:38] (bekks): thanks for the reccomendation. i have a cheap dedi i picked up to learn on, and am going to do a basic lamp install + ftp. [08:39] bekks: I'm just shocked [08:39] bekks: that just mean thant anybody can go root on the machine [08:39] ero-jiji: Then dont use graphical tools, since they dont tell you what they are doing and they dont tell you which config files they are changing. [08:39] could you reccomend a guide/ support channel for vsftpd? [08:39] Erwyn: Having physical access, yes. [08:40] bekks: so, even with an encrypted folder: everything is decrypted……… [08:40] Erwyn: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html [08:40] only reason i went with pureftp was the gui, since the only ftp servers ive set up have been windows based gui ones [08:40] Erwyn: Not without knowing the encryption password. [08:41] ero-jiji: Linux is not Windows ;) [08:41] bekks: i mean encrypted home folder managed by ubuntu [08:41] Xabster: are you there? [08:41] awesome, ill remove pureftp and give that a shot [08:41] Erwyn: Still you have to have the encryption password. [08:41] Kartagis? [08:41] Xabster: what is the character after ^ ? [08:41] aye, thats why i wanted to learn =3 [08:41] 1 [08:42] bekks: oh okay… it will ask for when reloggin? [08:42] on the dedi if i screw something up horribly, i can 1 click reinstall the os from the manager =3 [08:42] Xabster: okay, try ^1 [08:42] Kartagis: i did [08:42] also tried making 2 ^^ with the virtual keyboard and delete one [08:42] Erwyn: It will (like before) ask you for the password for decryption. [08:43] bekks: nono when ercrypted home folder, it doesn't ask for such password at login [08:43] only the session password [08:44] and at first boot, it gives you a password to access out of ubuntu [08:44] Erwyn: which is the same password (by default) like the decryption password. After changing the session password as described above, obviously both passwords will differ. [08:51] bekks: mhhhh [08:51] however i'm still shocked [08:51] my nephew could hack my computer [08:52] Erwyn: Thats why the first step in security is to regulate physical access ;) [08:52] Physical access is total access. [08:52] Erwyn: now you know one reason why data-centers are restricted areas [08:54] llutz_: zh : bekks : I know, but I thought it might be a bit more difficult [08:55] Erwyn: Eh, you know, when someone has physical access to the system they can as well rip the drive out [08:55] hi all. There are an official guide to create my own ubuntu package for installing software? I have a python library, and I want to release it as an ubuntu package [08:55] theadmin: bad guys. nice guys wont do that and friendly ask for the password ;) [08:56] :p [08:56] If they've got time to boot a livecd, they also have time to install a hardware keylogger. Why bother changing/cracking passwords when you can just have them. ;) [08:56] hi all i need help with a .bz2 file please [08:57] erwyn one last question for ya, is there a reccomended alternative to webmin for 12.04? [08:57] zh: Dont tell him all our secrets. :D [08:57] bekks: sorry :x [08:58] ero-jiji: dont use webmin for the same reasons as pureftpd. [08:58] i downloaded clipgrab from here http://clipgrab.de/en [08:58] royandbear: bunzip2 [08:58] i have etxracted the .bz2 file, but then i dont know how to install it [08:58] ero-jiji: webmin is shit, ssh power [08:58] ero-jiji: webmin was known as the worst server administartion tool ever :) [08:58] !source [08:58] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [08:58] i usually just get .debs [08:58] since most guys put all their important data into the cloud (unecnrypted), theres no need for physical access in most cases [08:58] yea, that one i knew about, but being new to *nix any reccomendations are appriciated =3 [08:59] ero-jiji: Just dont use guis, or whatever unless you know what they are doing in detail, when administering a server. [08:59] royandbear: ./configure && make && make install [08:59] !language | Erwyn [08:59] Erwyn: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [08:59] ero-jiji: linux offers you the power of an efficient command line shell with tons of utilities [09:00] is there a simple way to monitor the server load from a webbrowser without an admin tool installed? [09:00] ero-jiji: ssh [09:00] how can I use cairo-dock *with* alt-tab? [09:00] ero-jiji, In regards to using CLI for server admin, its good to learn and use, but keep in mind, GUI's do present information better... [09:00] kartagis im sorry thats over my head..i only really know how to install .debs [09:00] ero-jiji: typing "top" and looking at the screen ;) [09:00] could you give a quick step by step? [09:00] you log into ssh account and top like bekks said [09:00] unfortunately cant ssh through my phone, thats the only reason im looking for a web based one [09:00] top [09:00] !top [09:01] how i get the md5 of the ubuntu 14.04 64bits [09:01] ? [09:01] ero-jiji: What's your phone? There are ssh clients for Android or iPhone or even Blackberry [09:01] ero-jiji: get a computer for server administration, not a phone. :) [09:01] 14.04? [09:01] royandbear: oh, you have a .deb, so do sudo dpkg -i name.deb [09:01] mencoli: 14.04 doesn't even exist [09:01] how i get the md5 of the ubuntu 12.04 64bits [09:01] sorry [09:01] ero-jiji: even blackberry [09:01] !md5 | mencoli [09:01] mencoli: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:01] :p [09:01] no i have a.bz2 - i hit extract to the desktop [09:01] theadmin android, and i didnt know that, awesome ill look into it! [09:01] ero-jiji I've seen hardcore CLI people do stuff like rm -rf / home/bleh before.. I personally use OpenPanel though on my server, which does the job, I missed half the convo, but it depends on what the server is for [09:01] but dont know what to do from there to install the program [09:01] ero-jiji: Search the Play Store for "VX Connectbot", that's the one I use [09:02] !md5 [09:02] Hello, I have updated my eclipse in Help->Check for updates and now I cannot create a java project. I've tried reinstsalling eclipse with no success. I'm on ubuntu 12.04 and eclipse was installed from repositories. I've already asked on #eclipse, they blame the repos and suggest to download it from their site, but still I'm looking for a way to fix that [09:02] (Auzy): its a small dedi i got to learn on and set up a small website/ftp [09:03] been using &nix about a week, so the learning curve is steep going from windows lol [09:03] (theadmin): found it, thanks for the tip! [09:04] hi all. I have an library written in C++ with a python wrapper writing in boostpython. My setup.py runs nicely, but I have to preinstall boost, and others C++ libraries. I'm thinking in manage the instalation of those libraries by creating an ubunto package, which would install those libraries and then install my python (running it's setup.py). Is it a good Idea? [09:05] ero-jiji: for sure, but, as a developper, i still use windows for leisure (essentially video games) and trust me, i miss my good terminal [09:05] and as a developer, I enjoy making games instead of playing them [09:06] i bought a pc with onboard GPU. Is it ok to do initial setup and later add a nother gpu(nvidia). Can both GPU work at same time and serve monitors ? [09:06] BotaniCar|2: Yes (I have 2 GPUs myself), but I have no idea how to switch between them or something. [09:06] akls: I don't work in such a field :) I only play them [09:07] sorry to ask again but could anyone help me with a .bz2 file? [09:07] theadmin: so adding 2nd GPU after initial install is not a issue ? [09:07] im googling but cant understand how to do it :/ [09:07] BotaniCar|2: Not at all, it might be in Windows though :D [09:08] hello everybody, I have a problem with my graphic card. It's a Via K8M800/K8N800/K8N800A [S3 UniChrome Pro]. 3D is not working well. It seems that i need to choose openchrome driver. It's installed but not sure it;s working http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-108262 [09:08] royandbear: What are you trying to do? [09:08] i want to install this program http://clipgrab.de/en [09:08] could anyone help me to set openchrome driver ? [09:08] i downloaded the .bz2 file, then extracted it to the home folder [09:08] Hey everyone. I've been having a huge problem with my BCM4306 rev2 card recently. It's always been a bit of a trouble with Linux, but installing b43-fwcutter and the legacy driver has done the trick in the past. However, I recently updated from a 32-bit OS (Ubuntu) to a 64-bit version. Since then, my card hasn't worked at all, regardless of what drivers I installed. It seems to scan and pick up networks ok, but refused to connect to them; dmesg says [ 9 [09:08] 03.916047] wlan0: direct probe to [mac address] timed out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've been attempting to get this working for 3 days now! [09:09] but i dont know what to do next [09:09] royandbear: You're doing it wrong: https://launchpad.net/~clipgrab-team/+archive/ppa/ [09:10] @ ero-jiji.. It may be worth grabbing a unix scripting book and learning it.. It is handy to know terminal, but imho, it isn't as efficient as people claim.. GUI's expose functionality better, and I have even seen experienced Linux users googling commands sometimes (which are immediately accessible in GUI). You should install Linux on your home computer, and learn CLI slowly.. Something like ISPConfig will help ease you into lea [09:10] rning bash shell (but, it may be worth reading a book too, as the commands aren't that hard for the most commonly used ones) [09:11] I learnt CLI from Linux desktop, and later honed my skills on servers [09:11] Otherwise, imho, it gets too frustrating [09:12] Hi.

[09:18] hi. sudo apt-get update returns warnings: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ ... what can I do about it? [09:18] hi [09:19] kristenbb: Theoretically you can ignore it (it's nothing serious), but if you want to fix it, go to the "Software Sources" thing and look for duplicate entries, then remove one of the dups [09:19] can I not do it from command line? [09:20] kristenbb: Sure you can, just open /etc/apt/sources.list (and stuff under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*) in your favorite text editor (Vim, Emacs, nano, joe, ...) [09:21] and what am I to look for? [09:22] here is a full example of one of the four warnings: W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_main_binary-amd64_Packages) [09:22] i m trying to write an img.xz image file to a usb, but getting permission denied to open the dev , [09:22] the command i used is "sudo xzcat FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=64k" [09:23] shubbar: I think you need sudo before dd too. [09:24] theadmin: I opened the files you mentionned, but what am I supposed to do with them ? [09:24] you dont need the sudo in front of xzcat at all. [09:24] kristenbb: Look for lines that are the same [09:24] theadmin: there are none, as far as I can see. Is there not a uniq program that does that ? What's its use again? [09:24] usage* [09:25] nothing happens with sudo in front of dd [09:25] it doesn't even ask for my password [09:26] wait, the usb led is flashing [09:26] shubbar: it doesnt ask password since you have entered it just a moment ago [09:26] shubbar: and the first version doesnt work since the dd command has only user rights [09:27] seems working, thanks [09:27] (proper would be 'xzcat FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdb1 bs=64k', assuming user has rights to read the image ) [09:27] (as the | will pipe output from xzcat to dd stdin ) [09:27] it completed fine [09:28] so how can I remove the apt-get warnings?

Seems I did something weird with that script there... [09:36] kristenbb: Never mind that -- just look for lines that are the same in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list (think of all of those as one file, that is, if one line appears more than once (even in different files), remove the duplicates) [09:36] so can I just cat all of them, and use uniq to filter duplicates ? [09:36] how to do that [09:39] woah [09:39] kristenbb: Well, you can use "cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq", but that will produce output that's suitable for one file... I guess you can then paste that into /etc/apt/sources.list and remove any files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [09:39] just pissed off a bunch of people in windoz room [09:39] the convo was kinda funny really [09:39] Murd0ck: Wrong channel, or you're being offtopic :P This is a support channel [09:39] opps [09:39] mybad [09:39] offtopic room plz?

[09:41] I got my problem solved by removing .eclipse folder. [09:41] theadmin: no I mean the | uniq one.? [09:41] theadmin: no I mean the | uniq one. [09:41] kristenbb: Yes, that's what I'm talking about, that's what uniq does [09:41] theadmin: there is even duplicates in the uniq output, how is that possible [09:41] kristenbb: Huh? That's... not possible, can you paste the output? [09:42] is there no option to uniq that has to be used so as to output only duplicates? It seems by default it just prints everything. [09:43] kristenbb: -d prints only duplicates. [09:43] well there's no output with -d. [09:43] then there are no duplicates. :) [09:43] kristenbb: Okay, then APT is... hm. I dunno. [09:44] Are there any other places APT on Ubuntu gets source info from apart from /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list?

[10:30] hydrox24 transfer from where to where? not sure what you mean by 'transfer' [10:32] well, you know how you can transfer, for instance, a vim config by copying the files (.vim/* and .vimrc) into your new installs' home dir from the old one? [10:32] well, I would like to do this with the printer configuration, and was hoping someone could point me in the right dir. [10:32] hydrox24 do you have backups from your old system? [10:33] Absolutely. [10:33] hydrox24: So you have two boxes then? [10:33] hydrox24 ok, on a different drive or partition? [10:34] I have an image I made with clonezilla mounted in /mnt [10:34] on a seperate box I can copy stuff to and from via ssh. [10:35] I just want a list of configuration files to copy really. [10:35] hydrox24 should've said that from the start, saved us our question [10:35] questions* [10:36] I quote: "Hi guys, can you tell me what files I need to transfer to transfer my printer configuration in 11.10 to 12.10?" [10:36] sorry if the use of 'transfer' wasn't clear, but the need for a list of files was, I think. [10:37] hydrox24 cloneszilla and image are not in that question [10:37] Hello [10:38] Fair enough, my apologies for not being clear enough. Are you able to tell me what the key files are though? [10:38] hydrox24 so your actual question is: how to copy files from a clinezilla image to a running system [10:38] no [10:38] ciao [10:38] !lista [10:38] lillo: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [10:39] *WHAT* files I need to copy to update the printer configuration to what is was on the last machine. [10:39] *it was [10:39] It's irrelevant that I used Clonezilla, all you need to know is that I would like to know what files/directories under /etc contain the printer configurations. [10:41] How I can pass ;y keyboard on azerty please [10:41] hydrox24: wondering why you dont just install the printer?

[10:45] How do I switch between applications on different desktops in Unity in 12.04? [10:46] anyone know of a support channel that can assist with configuring vsftpd? #vsftpd is pretty much dead [10:47] exarkun: you can click on the pictogram in the launcher and it will take you to the correct workspace if only one instance of a program is running [10:47] else you have to switch to the correct workspace first [10:48] http://askubuntu.com/questions/168332/ubuntu-12-04lts-64bit-wireless-problem-broadcom-bcm4306 If anyone has a moement, it'd be very useful if they'd be happy to have a look. Thanks. [10:49] trijntje: Where do I configure Unity so that alt-tab works like it used to (iow, so it _works_)? [10:49] mydogsnameisrudy: Tried, won't work. [10:50] ero-jiji: sorry, but there are a number of good Google sites related to that product. [10:51] ero-jiji: Why dont you just ask a specific question about a distinct problem you are having with vsftpd? :) [10:51] OK, so perhaps a better question to ask is: Why do my print jobs hang around for a few seconds and then disappear, having "completed" without the printer even blinking. [10:52] thanks. was able to get it set up and installed, and running with anon connections, now i just need to figure out how to set it up like this: patebin.com/AKG0PbLL [10:52] hydrox24: checked your logs? [10:52] Hi all [10:52] help [10:52] hydrox24: is this a network printer ? and when you add it the system adds it ? [10:53] exarkun: ctrl+alt+tab [10:53] Yes, it is a Wifi printer, A canon MP640 [10:53] exarkun: if you want, you can change the shortcuts using compiz config settings manager in the unity plug-in [10:53] help [10:53] it shows up as a printer, and I have installed the drivers that are needed, the setup worked in 11.10 but now it won't for some reason [10:54] !ask | The-web-fox [10:54] The-web-fox: 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).

Tried fsck says: Unable to create unique name and quits. Help [11:03] help [11:03] The-web-fox: Unfortunately it looks like your GPU is a little on the old side. [11:04] Linux is all for supporting old hardware, but on the flipside NVIDIA isn't. [11:04] yes but why 640*460 [11:04] i nead 1024*800 [11:04] so you'll need to remove the drivers and stick to the default drivers [11:05] How?

When using Openbox though, I always use xrandr -s....in autostart.sh. But ah well, try GUI methods first :) [11:09] The-web-fox: Can you open nvidia-settings [11:10] Done so [11:10] the he sey un like root [11:11] and Done so [11:11] can someone help me with warnings I get regarding apt-get ?

[11:11] four of them like this. [11:11] kristenbb: do you understand the error? [11:12] kristenbb: It's saying that there are duplicates in sources.list (the file where all your package names and ppas etc are stored). I think. [11:12] after the installation the definition, no [11:12] fidel_: I think I do. Yet 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | uniq -d' produces no output, which is unexpected. [11:13] The-web-fox: run "xrandr" and see if 1024*800 is listed. [11:13] after the installation the driver, no [11:13] kristenbb: also, this is a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04. I didn't do much.

Must be a Windows problem? ;-) [11:36] pozic: I don't think it's the same issue. You really can't get a display at all, if I understand correctly. Mine is just ugly during boot [11:36] ThePendulum: I didn't install a new driver, but I think I got a kernel upgrade. [11:36] njaxx : :) :) [11:37] pozic: Are you sure the system's on and booted to the right drive? [11:37] How can I boot it with only ssh? [11:37] You do not have physical access to the machine? [11:37] njaxx : i need to update my lenovoB570e BIOS is this save form my PC ? [11:37] ThePendulum: physical access without networking on that machine is not something I count as physical access. [11:38] coz i never did that befor [11:38] pozic: I mean you can't touch the machine? [11:38] ThePendulum: I can touch the machine. [11:38] You can't (re)boot it manually? [11:38] ThePendulum: I can also do that. [11:38] Hello [11:38] pozic: How far do you get? [11:38] During boot [11:38] ThePendulum: it's just not very convenient to write down commands on paper. [11:38] ThePendulum: it completely boots. [11:38] And then? [11:39] somebody help? [11:39] ThePendulum: then I can do Control-Alt-F1 and login. [11:39] i need to update my lenovoB570e BIOS is this save ? [11:39] Okay [11:39] Is there any open source alternative to dream-weaver that I can use to map links to images? [11:39] ThePendulum: then one second after logging in, it switches to some other graphical mode and it is stuck, [11:39] sulaiman: On a website? [11:39] ThePendulum: so, while I can 'log in', it's useless. [11:39] admin_: BIOS updates usually have a backup and checksum before being commited into the active ROM. [11:39] i need to use downloader?but don't know which! [11:40] pozic: Checked the graphics driver? Can you update it? [11:40] admin_: BIOS updates are never completely safe. [11:40] ThePendulum, for a website [11:40] admin_: if you lose power during one, you might have a problem. [11:40] ThePendulum, I am looking into KImageMapEditor right now [11:40] admin_: It's riskier than not doing it, but the risk of failure is below 1% [11:40] ThePendulum: I want to update the graphics driver, but for that I need ssh. [11:41] ThePendulum: there are motherboards which have a backup BIOS. [11:41] sulaiman: I'm not quite sure what you could use. I'm a webdeveloper, but I write my own HTML etc. [11:41] please help?????? [11:41] okay, and thanks [11:41] admin_: that was for you. [11:41] The-web-fox: That card is not supported in 12.04. Are you using 12.04? Your best off just flushing out that NVidia driver and going for the generic driver - or get a new GFX card. === p is now known as Guest82680 [11:41] pozic: The machine isn't connected to a keyboard and a screen and that isn't an option either, I presume? [11:42] The-web-fox: if you want longevity, buy an AMD card. [11:42] The-web-fox: because by the time it's not supported anymore, there is a decent open-source driver. [11:42] anybody know,the downloader for ubuntu? [11:42] ThePendulum: it's an option, but like I said I need to walk quite a bit of distance to do that. [11:42] pozic: Did you just recommend AMD on the Ubuntu channel? [11:43] no, bye a new pc!!!!! [11:43] animus123 software center [11:43] ThePendulum: for longevity. [11:43] pozic: If there's no other option... [11:43] MonkeyDust:but the name of downloader? [11:43] pozic: Half the AMD cards (the drivers) don't even work properly on Ubuntu/Linux [11:44] animus123 'the downloader'? [11:44] Far less issues with the Nvidia drivers, although Linus seems to disagree [11:44] animus123 to download what, exactly? [11:45] well, the reason why i want to update my BIOS is to make it support booting from SD card, is there other way to do that [11:45] Does anyone know how to make the Pidgin contact list pop-up after it has disappeared? [11:45] Supported NVidia cards can be purchased for about £30 in the UK - thats really not that much if you don't care about that latest and greatest shiny card. [11:45] MonkeyDust:any file!! [11:46] njaxx: 30 bucks cards don't really add much to the onboard gpu though [11:46] admin_: SATA to CF or SD adapter? [11:46] njaxx 'not that much' depends on how much you can afford ;) [11:47] Hi there [11:47] ThePendulum: what is it? The cards or the drivers? [11:47] njaxx : i will google that [11:47] ThePendulum: what doesn't work according to you? [11:47] ThePendulum: and: do you own one yourself? [11:47] ThePendulum: It would be considerably more powerful than that FX5200 NVidia series card Web fox is using. [11:47] Hey everybody. I got a problem with the ubuntu cloud image. Is this the right channel to ask my question? [11:47] dammit I knew I should have just asked my question LOL [11:48] oh, sorry.. i get it now - it's an memory SD card :) [11:48] If anyone wants to put their hand up to help me get a USB 802.11n adapter working I'd really appreciate it [11:48] How do I remove the nvidia driver , and install the open source one? the default one [11:48] pozic: To get them properly installed usually requires the terminal to be utilized, and even then you have to fiddle with things like 'ignore graphical settings' in Chromium etc. [11:48] animus123 the way you download a file, depends on how it is presented to you [11:49] The-web-fox: How about just renaming /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rebooting? If you have an issue, rename it back? That should clear out your card settings and revert you back to generic. [11:49] MonkeyDust:do you know Orbit downloader? [11:50] njaxx : it's memory SD card [11:50] ok [11:50] animus123 start from the beginning, what do you want to do and what goes wrong [11:51] MonkeyDust:well!!as you wish.i need a download manager for ubuntu! [11:51] ThePendulum: the most important reason why AMD cards don't appear to work is Ubuntu lagging enormously. [11:51] ThePendulum: it doesn't even have the 12.6 driver, right? [11:51] njaxx : i put an ISO on that SD card, and now i want to boot from it [11:51] admin_: I have not tried an SD card but I have an ATA to CF adapter and that works fine - I would assume SD can be addressed in the same way with a ATA or SATA to SD adapter? [11:51] MonkeyDust:but i don't know any! [11:52] pozic: It [11:52] pozic: It [11:52] pozic: DAMMIT [11:52] pozic: It's on 8.96 right now [11:52] njaxx : i will try that [11:53] animus123 you can download from the repos, from websites, use torrents etc [11:53] MonkeyDust:ok friend,i got it's "Gwget".for ubuntu. [11:53] ThePendulum: I am talking about the driver version. [11:53] pozic: That is the driver version... === ninjak_ is now known as ninjak === szal_ is now known as szal [11:55] admin_: Just google SATA to SD adapter. There are loads of them for quite cheap costs. The SD card wil appear as a standard SATA drive in your BIOS. However, be aware SD has limited writes so for data use a traditional drive or a solid state designed for this purpose. The SD should be fine for an OS boot partition. [11:56] ThePendulum: no, it's not. [11:56] pozic: How do you know and what do you think it is? [11:56] ThePendulum: the driver version starts with the year in which it was released - 2000. [11:56] hey folks, everymorning around this time, the wireless connection on my computer goes dead, it reads that its connected but cant send or recieve info. a quick re-connect fixes everything. anyone have any ideas? i checked over my router, everything seems fine there. [11:56] ThePendulum: you are referring to some other component, but that's not the driver.\ [11:56] admin_: I have sent you a link to an adapter for sale on a large commercial website! [11:56] pozic: 2008 is aa year [11:56] *a [11:57] ThePendulum: ok: let's put it differently: just assume I am right, because I am. [11:57] ThePendulum: if you want to disagree fine, but look yourself to see that I am. [11:57] Tell me how the properly check the driver version [11:57] ThePendulum: go to the amd.com website. [11:57] njaxx : thank its word in virtual box - SD to USB - [11:57] ThePendulum: this is very basic knowledge. [11:58] ThePendulum: you shouldn't advice people if you don't know what you are talking about [11:58] pozic: The AMD website is down [11:58] hello , my wireless network card isn`t snapped up by network manager , jockey-gtk reports that driver is activated but not in use , so it seems like a conflict , can someone guide me to fix this ? [11:58] ThePendulum: no, it's not. [11:58] It was [11:58] Their *.amd.com DNS is down [11:58] ThePendulum: I agree that it's not stable. [11:58] ThePendulum: but it does work. [11:59] pozic: I'm not saying it doesn't [11:59] njaxx : word = work > sorry < [11:59] All I'm saying is that Nvidia drivers tend to install and run smoother and with less issues [11:59] pozic: Anyway, what do you want me to do on the AMD website? [11:59] pozic: You should not advise people to use unstable drivers which arent even in the repos ;) [11:59] bekks: unstable?\ [11:59] Can someone please help me with this usb wifi dongle? I've gotten so far as to identify the chipset and download the drivers from the Ralink website, but I'm having trouble populating the makefile [11:59] bekks: lol [11:59] bekks: clearly you don't use the drivers. [12:00] pozic: You just said: "I agree that it's not stable." [12:00] ThePendulum: I don't want you to do anything. [12:00] pozic: Thats the reason why I am not using them. [12:00] bekks: yes, and reading comprehension is a skill not everyone has. [12:00] pozic: Then why did you direct me to their website? [12:00] admin_: You want to boot a virtual machine in Virtual Box using an OS based on an SD card plugged into your USB??? I have no idea if that would work, I assume its something that must be supported in the Virtual Box hypervisor? [12:00] ThePendulum: never mind; I cannot save everyone. [12:00] really need help with my wireless card , anyone ? [12:00] pozic: you doesnt, too bad. [12:01] bekks: neither are English writing skills. [12:01] bekks: if you want to talk to me, you need to have a certain level of sophistication. [12:01] pozic: How professional to blame someone from Lithuania for his English skills [12:02] pozic: I'm sorry, I wont lower my levels of what so ever for you - this is why I dont want to be hilighted by you anymore. Thank you. Bye bye. [12:02] njaxx : i was testing the SD to USB kit on the VMware and it work for me, i assume it will work for real :) [12:02] ThePendulum: who cares where someone is from? [12:02] ThePendulum: In my experience, NVidia cards seem to be fine to setup as long as you have a supported card in both the driver and OS. Everything just seems to work. NVidia fall down with their quiet poor open source support, they are quite closed and you only get the drivers they want you to have. [12:03] ThePendulum: I am not a native speaker either. [12:03] ThePendulum: and, more importantly: I am not trying to be a smartass. [12:03] pozic: You don't blame someone for his language skills if it's not his/her native language, no matter if you're not a native speaker yourself [12:03] admin_: Yes for real it will be quite slick. I built a workstation with no moving parts once using a similar method. [12:04] ThePendulum: I only blame smartasses. [12:04] pozic: I understand and respect that, but if you're not trying to be a smartass, please don't sound like one [12:04] ThePendulum: I only give in return the behaviour that was given to me. [12:04] pozic: The fact that you disagree with my driver version yet can't prove me wrong because that's just too lame for you says something [12:04] ThePendulum: no, it just shows you are stupid. [12:04] ThePendulum, pozic , Shall we move on?.. ;) [12:04] ThePendulum: even Google knows the answer. [12:04] pozic: Thank you. But still, you haven't proven you know the answer yourself [12:05] njaxx : that is what i am trying to do "a workstation with no moving parts" [12:05] ThePendulum: type in "what is the latest driver version for amd graphics drivers?"

Can some one help me out [12:05] pozic: That wasn't even what I was asking, I was asking and saying what my current version is [12:05] ThePendulum: if Google knows the answer and you don't, it's just a sign of you not being terribly smart. [12:05] Not the latest version [12:05] ThePendulum: and you would still be wrong. [12:05] ThePendulum: how terribly difficult is it for you to understand that? [12:06] ThePendulum: you are wrong.

[12:12] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all. I've been running Ubuntu for about 2 years and was using KDE added on top and following a new set up standard updates it just "broke" and was pulled from the KDM DE selector. Any hints on a quick fix? [12:12] hi all, i have a doubt on debugfs command. i want to recover one file , with google i found this command , i tried but not working . Can some one help me out [12:12] ThePendulum: you are an admin here!? [12:12] ThePendulum: lol [12:12] pozic: I can't admit I'm wrong as long as I am not proven wrong. All I'm seeing here is driver version: 8.bla [12:13] ThePendulum: it is 12.6 [12:13] pozic: That's the latest version, not my current version [12:13] ThePendulum: and the whole Internet is full of references to that. [12:13] pozic: You don't have to be an admin to mute another person [12:13] ThePendulum: are you saying your version is 4 years old? [12:13] gribouille: What version of the OS are you running? [12:13] ThePendulum: you are referring to another version. [12:13] ThePendulum: of another component. [12:13] pozic: For what I know at this point, it is. Seriously, you have all right to prove me wrong, but please do so rather than just claiming I am wrong without any reference to fact. [12:14] ThePendulum: pozic take it to offtopic [12:14] <[TK]D-Fender> Currently running 12.04 updated regularly [12:14] pozic: I'm pretty sure the CCC is all about my graphics card [12:14] njaxx, oneiric [12:14] mydogsnameisrudy: This is Ubuntu-related, I want to check my driver version in Ubuntu [12:14] ThePendulum: The 12.6 one installs a component which has a 8.soomething version. [12:14] ThePendulum: that's all. [12:14] pozic: It took you half an hour to say that? [12:14] ThePendulum: you are just looking in the wrong place and keep repeating that. [12:15] ThePendulum: I wanted to give you a chance to prove you are not a moron. [12:15] ThePendulum: guess you failed.\ [12:15] pozic: I do not claim not to be looking in the wrong place [12:15] ThePendulum: I will now put you on my ignore list. [12:15] ThePendulum: talking to you make me sick. [12:15] pozic: All I'd like to know is where to look. I'm quite confident I am not looking in the right place [12:15] Could some please stop him from insulting people again and again? [12:15] pozic, ThePendulum: can you please move the meta discussion elsewhere, this is not support discussion anymore [12:15] guys! know when to stop! [12:15] gribouille: I think you may have a reserved 2GB of disk space for root. Thats why your disk is reporting 100% full. [12:16] Myrtti: Oh, so now wanting to know my driver version is not a support discussion? :\ [12:16] njaxx, how can I verify this? [12:16] gribouille: df -hm [12:16] im trying to apt-get install jackd qjackctl on xubuntu 12.04 and im getting not found errors: http://dpaste.com/775669/ [12:16] df -i [12:16] to inspect 1/ space 2/ inodes left [12:17] m1chael: apt-get update before apt-get install [12:17] brb [12:17] mz|`, there are 8.8M free inodes [12:17] mz: okay ill try that :) === lloir is now known as Lloir [12:17] * mz|` & [12:18] gribouille: I'm just checking, 2 secs..... working on GPRS here. [12:18] Let me ask it in public: Does anyone know how to check what graphics driver version I'm running right now? [12:18] ThePendulum try lspci|grep VGA (that's in capitals) [12:19] ThePendulum: lsmod then find your module, then dpkg -l | grep driver_module or --version [12:19] MonkeyDust: he will find the hardware name, not the driver version [12:19] lspci -k [12:19] MonkeyDust: That'll give me the driver/card name, but not the version. mz|` know right [12:19] bekks: +1 === cri is now known as naotemp [12:20] Thanks, but that still won't inform me about the specific version of the driver I'm running... let me try mz|`method [12:21] ThePendulum: what card do you have ? [12:21] mz|`: Radeon 8850 [12:21] *6850 [12:21] so : fglrx -v [12:22] mz|`: I assume I have to install fglrx then? [12:23] you may want too if it is needed. but if your card works as is, you may have a VESA/standard compatible driver already. [12:23] s/too/to [12:23] ThePendulum: apt-cache policy fglrx [12:23] ThePendulum: dude open package manager and have a look at the version of fglrx. [12:23] ThePendulum: And the list of files of the 8.96... packages clearly contains source files for version 8.96 [12:24] rajumoh: apt-cache policy fglrx ;) [12:24] what does "Reserved block count" mean for a file system? [12:24] what are the "Reserved blocks" used for? [12:25] gribouille: That that amount of blocks is reserved for root usage only. [12:25] I wonder why the CCC can't just display this information [12:25] for FS indexes too [12:25] gribouille: The benefit is, nobody besides root can fill up the filesystem to 0 inodes left, which makees it impossible to delete things again. [12:25] bekks, ThePendulum: fwiw, i use Gallium, and "glxinfo | grep renderer" returns my driver name and version, might work too with fglrx [12:26] bekks: well , thats a better ans for sure .. but was getting a bit pesky with seeing that name in the channel .. [12:26] guampa: I never dealt with gallium, sorry. [12:26] how do I enable SFTP in the latest ubuntu? [12:26] bekks: sorry, i meant that the command "glxinfo | grep renderer" might work with fglrx too [12:26] bekks, is it possible to modify the number of reserved blocks? [12:27] guampa: Just the card name/series for me [12:27] ThePendulum: oh, ok [12:27] TimothyA when you ssh, you will see the remote drive as SFTP in Nautilus [12:28] gribouille: When having an ext2|3|4, yes, using tune2fs [12:28] MonkeyDust: unfortunately, it keeps giving me authorization errors [12:28] just logging in with ssh works, just not sftp [12:28] gribouille: sudo tune2fs -m 1 /dev/loop0 (That would move the reserved blocks to 1 percent) [12:29] TimothyA: how are you trying exactly? [12:29] TimothyA ssh-keys? [12:29] MonkeyDust: passwords at the moment [12:29] njaxx, ok, I'll try it [12:30] a bunch of tutorials ask for "Subsystem sftp internal-sftp" while I have it on default on other systems where it works just fine [12:31] gribouille: Let me know if this works for you. [12:34] it would be nice if this thing worker consistently across multiple versions... [12:34] Hi. I'm new to command line interfaces, and after installing something through "sudo apt-get install" I not longer have the part at the start of line (the "session"? e.g. user@server:~$). What have I done wrong/how can I correct this? [12:35] hi - i upgraded several 10.04 lts boxes today to 12.04 - 1 seems to have lost its nameserver sessings - i assume based on the resolv.conf change [12:35] ....and suddendly, IT WORKS [12:35] njaxx, ok, there is more free space now [12:35] if i see it right we are supposed to not edit /etc/resolv.conf anymore - could someone point me to some instructions regarding resolvconf configuration? [12:36] Hello! How to completely remove and install postgres 9.1? (with all the databases and stuff) [12:36] reinstall* [12:36] gribouille: Thanks for the feedback. [12:37] Alopex: random guess - using apt - most likely how you installed it aswell in the first place [12:37] fidel_ : Shouldn't i do --purge or something? Just apt-get uninstall postgres-9.1? [12:38] Alopex: yes - general apt usage [12:38] njaxx, gribouille, bekks : any repercussions on changing number of reserved blocks ? [12:38] my file system is stored in a file and mounted with the -o loop option. the file size is 24G. I used resize2fs to allow the file system to use the whole file. why does df report that the file system size is only 22G? [12:38] Alopex: You have to purge, and you have to manually remove the datafiles afterwards. [12:38] rajumoh: I am using 0.1% for reserved blocks :) [12:39] bekks: Okey thank you! [12:39] rajumoh: I would probably not let it go less than 100MB of reserved space..... so 1 percent of 22GB should be fine. [12:41] gribouille: The discrepancy was caused by reserved space. [12:41] njaxx: Impossible :) [12:42] gribouille: they're the blocks reserved for root owned files. Basically it's so that a user can't fill the disk and so take the system down [12:42] hmm, mega jumplag... [12:42] ssta: Good answer - wish I could explain it that clearly! [12:42] just one more quiz, about postgres, where should be the data files? i checked .postgresql/9.1/ and it was empty already... [12:42] njaxx, ssta : does the 'Size' of df output include the reserved size? [12:43] gribouille: It is the overall size. [12:43] gribouille: It already has reserved space deducted from the percent free. Hence why 100% full even though you appeared to have 2GB free. [12:44] But the root reserve is 5% by default, not 10%... [12:45] bekks: Unless someone had altered it on that system previously? [12:45] it's not uncommon for some admins to reserve more space on / than 5%. Especially if /tmp is on / === Jason is now known as Guest85930 [12:46] omg [12:46] all bot is here?

Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [12:48] cool, but i heard somewhere that this reserved partition acts "like a swap" space for disk io operations and reduced reserved space might effect io performance [12:48] !enter what [12:48] !enter screens [12:48] Afroksilanthi: did you have a Ubuntu related problem or a question? [12:48] can someone explain the following : device size=24G; df says Size=22G, Used=20G, Avail=995M, Use%=96%; I've set the percentage of reserved blocks to 1% [12:48] ? [12:48] no i go out [12:48] definately on red bull [12:49] anyway to get a usb flash drive to not require you to click try ubuntu each time it boots? [12:49] Hi. My ubuntu server is showing a 100% CPU load for the "/sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1" process. What should I do? [12:49] Rebooting does not help [12:49] rajumoh: Thats the first I have heard about that. Reserved space is purely to keep the file system up in case a user fills the disk. [12:50] gribouille: Try calculating in blocks, not GiB or GB. You might be seeing a rounding issue. [12:50] njaxx: ok .will have to check my reference :-( . [12:51] rajumoh: Its a bit like a DoS attack protection. A user filling the disks to max could take them offline.... but you have reserved some space so that can't happen and the file system stays up even if a user tries to bring it down. [12:51] gribouille: df -H shows the size in GiB, the one saying 24G probably showed it in GB. 24 GB = 22.35 GiB [12:52] err, I mean 24.00 GB = 22.35 GiB [12:52] Anyone know if I could, on my laptop, get f1-f12-keys perform their fn-function(say, fn+f11 is to make system volume go down), without pressing fn key(so I can just press f11 to make volume go down) [12:52] geirha: I agree with your statement.

[13:14] Postfix https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html [13:14] I have a story I'd like to share, along with a warning. Getting Ubuntu fully functional on a Macbook Pro is painful... [13:15] What didn't work llvllatrix ? [13:15] I decided to format my Macbook Pro at work with Linux and call the new computer glados. My server virtual machine was named space-module and for kicks, my windows machine was called wheatley. [13:15] Not even 48 hours after the install, glados goes insane when I try to install the proper Nvidia drivers for graphics and takes out the entire system, less recovery mode. I backup space-module and wheatley to one of several hard disks and try for recovery. [13:15] About half a day into recovery I diagnose glados as a lost cause, reach for my new Ubuntu cd and reassemble the system. Then I try to boot into wheatley and space-module only to find that they're unbootable. [13:15] I decide screw it, I'm booting them from scratch to, and delete wheatley and space-core only to realise that the only problem was that the files were read only...and I've misplaced the hard drive they're on. So they're lost in space somewhere and glados is fully operational... === sins-_n is now known as sins- [13:15] I'm now rebuilding wheatley and space-core and I'm sticking with the old names on principle; I'm a rational person and these names shouldn't make the computers misbehave...but glados, if you decide to pull more shit, I'm swapping your battery with a potato.

[13:47] arulmozhi: Why not install blender from the PPA, which will install the dependencies. Then you can run your binary [13:48] judg3: yes, at the end of the boot sequence.. but you should put it in Startup Applications not in rc.local so that it runs as a normal user not as root [13:48] treaver: what do you need help with [13:48] My name is Treaver, I just installed Linux on my desktop because my friend told me it would work and because I wanted to try it forever. But I have a wpn3100 wireless usb stick. I have found a tutorial to install it but I can't install Wine and Nkidswrapper or whatever it's called [13:48] arulmozhi: if you're not willing to install from the ppa, use ldd to see what libs are linked to. Install those. It's annoying to do, but it works. [13:49] Blazemore|Work, : I have installed it from PPA too [13:49] judg3: though you won't be able to use it to login [13:49] I need help installing Wine and Wrapper without an internet connection [13:49] Unless I can use this laptop im on to transfer files [13:49] Fah: ldd usage [13:49] !ndiswrapper | treaver [13:49] treaver: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:50] OK treaver you want to run sudo apt-get clean on a machine with an Internet connection [13:50] I'm on windows on my sisters lapptop [13:51] arulmozhi: there's a man page, but also this might help. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LibraryArchives-StaticAndDynamic.html [13:51] violinappren: It's in startup applications, thanks for you assistance :) [13:51] Blaze [13:51] Sorry treaver I'm not sure [13:51] judg3: you're welcome [13:52] I don't think that's your main problem though: why doesn't the laptop have an Internet connection? [13:52] Could you run the command and send me the files? [13:52] join /#ubuntu [13:52] If you're planning to install a wireless driver for Windows through Wine, know that it won't work [13:52] The laptop has an internet connection but not ubuntu installed [13:52] What packages are you trying to install?

What packages are you trying to install [13:53] treaver: YOu don't need to install it, just use a liveCD [13:53] Then run sudo apt-get -d packages [13:53] And copy the .deb files out of /var/cache/apt/archive [13:53] ok blaze [13:53] let me boot into the cd [13:53] Then you can install them on another system, as long as it's the same Ubuntu version [13:53] and come to the page if the wifi works [13:53] Blazemore|Work: no on this channel, take it on pm if you want to support windows [13:53] blaze [13:53] Do you have Skype?

If someone typed in just the IP, how would it know which website to display? [13:57] So, Apache virtual hosts [13:58] guys help how can i delete a file where permission is denied [13:58] meaning, the 'host' field of http is used, right ? Is there any other solution besides that ? [13:58] violinappren: i've these pkgs of gstreamer http://paste.ubuntu.com/1111954/ [13:58] Peter8784: Why would you want to? [13:58] just be aware name based hosting wont work with ssl [13:58] watchy, sudo -s [13:58] watchy, sudo rm [13:58] watchy: You need to have write permissions on the file in order to delete it, you can use sudo rm to delete the file as root [13:58] But be careful what you do as root [13:59] sl3ax: reinstall them, sudo apt-get install --reinstall package_names_here [13:59] ubuntu is loading off my sisters laptop.. 3 computers in 1 room...

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:09] why isnt ubuntu switching to a rolling release system? [14:09] day: because it's too much of a headache to maintain for a "casual user" [14:09] day: if you want rolling release then you don't want ubuntu [14:09] day: try running debian testing/sid or arch linux [14:10] day: it's not the philosophy, enjoy archlinux wich is really good also, but it's not the same constraints [14:11] Linux Mint Debian tastes like Ubuntu and is rolling [14:11] violinappren: i can see why it might be harder to manage the sources. but why should it be harder for the "enduser"? [14:11] day: when a base software is deeply changing [14:12] day: some things are required to be done manually [14:12] day: because the system WILL break due to major package upgrades [14:12] day: and the user has to manually fix it [14:12] day: then start your nightmare if you're a "basic" end-user [14:13] is archlinux easy to install? [14:13] tin_: Ask in #archlinux :) [14:13] tin_: quite yes [14:13] tin_: /join #archlinux [14:13] thx [14:13] tin_: but you need some knowledges [14:14] adobe came out with an update of their pdf for windows 7.. ubuntu expect any update anytime soon? in any case, know of how I can get highlights or sticky notes for 12.04? [14:14] pb: ask adobe :) [14:15] got their number? [14:15] =) [14:15] i bet tin_ looks at the installation manual of arch and goes "F#$% this" :-D [14:15] pb: this is ubuntu support channel :) === m00se is now known as m002d2 === m002d2 is now known as m00se [14:15] rajumoh: don't be a troll I used it for long time [14:15] i support ubuntu.. : does ubuntu offer plugins for adobe such as highlighter or notes? [14:15] rajumoh: not appropriate and #offtopic [14:16] guess I can google that. [14:16] rajumoh: feel free to migrate to gentoo or openbsd, it's all free software [14:16] frEEbSD :> [14:17] violinappren: i thought in a defined environment like ubuntu it might be possible to keep it stable [14:18] day: a rolling release is by definition NOT stable.. stable implies somewhat aging, well tested software [14:18] day: it is not, see archlinux if you want rolling. We don't say it is bad, we say, it's not the definition of easy to use so not the definition of ubuntu [14:19] im pretty stable. infact if something breaks its completely reversible. infact minus a few restarts for updates and what not. you never have to shut it off. [14:19] Erwyn: its not about wanting it. its about wondering why they dont use it. it has alot of advantages. thats why im curious [14:19] Erwyn, violinappren : ok, may be was a bit judgmental on the guy;s abillity and certainly off topic, but if you think u find something interesting you just go ahead with installing it, asking its hard and all dones not make sense. [14:19] day: new releases of software has new bugs and regressions.. thats a fact of life that no amount of quality assurance can eliminate it completely [14:20] rajumoh: agree [14:22] hello i own a lenovo thinkpad w520, just installed a fresh version of ubuntu 12.04 64 bit [14:22] but it wont boot [14:22] violinappren: well my plan wasnt to use the bleeding edge stuff arch and co put in their repositories :P but ur right ofc.. i guess the lack of manpower makes it impossible [14:23] Hello, can anybody help me, please? [14:23] day: try debian testing, it might be what you're looking for [14:23] I got a problem with my wireless network MAC address here. [14:23] !details | audrianore [14:23] audrianore: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

[14:24] I can't change my MAC address. [14:25] audrianore, dunno why you want to do that. there is no reason to do that in normal cicrumstances...^^ anyway.. the driver doesnt "like" it [14:25] violinappren: well ok you could call it rolling for a while :P === sun is now known as Guest1513 [14:25] day: not its not, it's a relatively stable rolling release version of debian [14:25] audrianore: a mac address isn't meant to be changed [14:25] anyone knows a quicker image resizer than imagemagick? (for the console) [14:25] ndee: Quicker as in processing time, or easier to use? [14:26] Blazemore|Work, quicker in processing time [14:26] audrianore: Try gnu macchanger [14:26] wfm, ymmv [14:26] audrianore: network manager gui has an option to change the mac address [14:26] auronandace, yes I know. I was un-carefully changing it, but it always return errors. [14:27] Luceo, I'm using that one. [14:27] audrianore: You have to bring ip link down before changing it [14:27] violinappren: if i install testing? does it stay testing forever? i thought at one point it gets freezed _> stable. or does my installation stay testing forever? [14:27] audrianore, like i mentioned before. The Driver does not like it [14:27] how can i get the list of pending updates? 'apt-get update' doesn't list them [14:28] Luceo, if you would have read his given url, u would know that he already did that [14:28] nvm then [14:28] and once again, not all drivers like it that the mac is beeing changed.. [14:29] Blazemore|Work, graphicsmagick mogrify looks kinda fast [14:29] subz3ro, yea maybe you're right. Though the chipset is unknown here. [14:30] Luceo, I'm not connected with my wireless device.

[14:31] help me!! please! [14:31] can you point me to a source where can I get drivers or any instructions on that ? [14:32] Antaranian, maybe you want to use "dmesg" @terminal [14:32] i just installed my iHRIS an when i lonch the website it give me the following erros iHRIS fantal erro an on the secon page: MDB2 Error: not found on the third page:Could not connect to the database [14:32] help [14:32] subz3ro, it's a wireless device, but known as eth1 instead of wlan0 [14:32] help me [14:33] please some one help me on this [14:33] audrianore, that doesnt matter.. how its called.... you have to know the chip first. then check for different drivers [14:33] audrianore: I'm not sure. I just do: ip link set wlan0 down && macchanger -c && ip link set wlan0 up [14:33] I think [14:33] Guest13120: just ask your question [14:33] you can use ndiswrapper too, but if im right why u want to change that... ndiswrapper wont work for you === matias is now known as Guest27464 [14:34] i just installed my iHRIS an when i lonch the website it give me the following erros iHRIS fantal erro an on the secon page: MDB2 Error: not found on the third page:Could not connect to the database [14:34] audrianore, you can check which card it is with" dmesg" [14:34] without the quotes ofc [14:34] audrianore: I assume you're changing it to abuse a free wifi service with a trial? :P [14:34] ^ ;) [14:34] subz3ro, I got the driver installed.

[16:00] islandmonkey: yes , it's aka xorg.conf [16:00] !gnome2 | myst3rious [16:00] myst3rious: The GNOME Foundation has ceased support for GNOME 2, and as such it is not in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot). See !notunity for an alternative desktop experience. [16:00] !notunity [16:00] 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 [16:00] !notunity [16:00] shark yes, all live cds now, fedora even froze on me, [16:00] hola [16:00] myst3rious: I suggest trying something like Awesome WM or Ratpoison [16:00] !classic [16:00] The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity.

They are nowhere near GNOME. [16:02] (I use spectrwm and prefer that over DEs, but he doesn't want that) [16:02] can I just install XFCE, and remove all the Unity stuff with Ubuntu Software Center?

Like "display" from imagemagick but I want to show 1 image every second to the same window. === ania12lat is now known as ania13lat [16:26] The_Loko do i need to load something to see the windows HD [16:26] ok my crontab is sort of working. when i tail /var/log/syslog, i can see that the correct command is running every minute. yet i don't see that the command is working because if i run it normally i get some files uploaded to my amazon s3 account. if it runs through cron then nothing is ever moved to my amazon s3 account. so i know it's failing at some point. how can i debug this? i am using the full command/script paths in the crontab [16:27] mrFrog: running as same user you run manually? [16:27] How can I turn VSync off with a NVIDIA driver? [16:28] hi [16:28] MrHashimoto no, just use nautilus, is the easy way [16:28] jrib: i assume it's running as the same user (since i edit using crontab -e from my user account) [16:28] is there a way to install the v295.33 of the nvidia drivers? [16:28] My system is really unstable [16:28] mrFrog: add debugging to script or pastebin script === ania13lat is now known as DaZ [16:29] mrFrog: you could debug it by just adding some echo lines outputting to some file for starters [16:29] Does ubuntu use a locate daemon by default? [16:29] kyle__: yes [16:29] jrib: alright i'll do that [16:30] jrib: Hum. It's just I don't see one on this vm. It would be named ?locate right? [16:30] or .locate, depding on your regular expression language [16:30] islandmonkey: run 'nvidia-settings' and check your 'X Server Xvideo Settings' [16:31] kyle__: hmm maybe I misunderstood. Ubuntu has a locate command (/usr/bin/locate) and there's a cron entry that runs updatedb [16:31] glitsj16: There is VBlank, is that the same thing? [16:31] kyle__: I have mlocate, not sure if that's still default [16:31] jrib: THere are a bunch of versions of locate, like there are of cron. It's just been quite some time since I've used it, so I wasn't sure. [16:31] I am running 12.04 desktop with gnome 3 classic. I accidentally dragged a launcher to the top taskbar.

How to rw hfs+ drive in ubuntu [17:13] who would I ask about this. I'm runing ubuntu. After I install the AMD graphics drivers (using the additional drivers option), I can no longer see the console when I use ctrl-alt f1 - f6. [17:13] BluesKaj: the t510 i have is 64 bit the hardware wiki says 32 bit is compatible [17:13] The console is still running, I know because I can blind log in/run commands. but it would be nice to be able to see what I'm doing. [17:14] wonder if that could be an issue [17:14] also am not able to get to bumblee be - how ? [17:14] w [17:15] Woo-whoa!!! I have X running again. I needed nvidia-173. Thank you very much to anyone that answered any of my questions. [17:15] Good morning / afternoon. I'm trying to either find a solution to a problem or help give diagnostic information to get it fixed. The issue is this: Remmina disappears when I minimize it and I can not get it back. Also if I open a second session on a different screen it disappears or if I go fullscreen mode it goes away. To get it back I have to kill the process and restart the app. I've used gnome and unity and it crashes in either. I also run dual [17:15] monitors which seems to make the issue worse from what I've seen online. [17:15] I'm very grateful! === carl0 is now known as carl1 [17:15] indigofera: are going to try the install I posted? [17:15] jagosix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#hfs.2B- [17:16] is there something like a system-config-kickstart for ubuntu-server? [17:16] hi [17:16] bueller... bueller.

[17:21] carl1: Do we have to guess the error message? [17:21] Question : If terminal commands detect my graphics card, & ubuntu settings system dose not. What could this be telling me? [17:22] hi [17:22] bekks Well.. I would like to read documentation about those [17:22] If I run the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop in a recovery console, it stops my screens [17:22] Coffee321: The lspci -k command just shows you whats found, and the driver that is loaded for that particular piece of hardware. [17:23] Hey, how do I know if my Ubuntu 12.04 has TRIM enabled? [17:23] Coffee321: So which graphics card do you have, and which module is loaded for it? [17:23] I cant do ctrl+alt+fX either [17:23] that stops my screens [17:23] Coffee321: also, if you can see the screen at all, ubuntu is detecting it. it just probably has the wrong driver. [17:23] I am having Ubuntu-server 12.04. How do I connect Internet using my username & password in Server ? [17:23] Jonii: By looking at the mount options in "mount". Seeing "discard" there, it is enabled. [17:24] My computer has - VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 03) [17:24] I need someone's help badly [17:24] Coffee321: And lspci -k also tells you which module is loaded for that hardware.

I installed the drivers I was looking for my wireless router sucessfully then I was following a tutorial to edit grub to make the resolution start screen not come up cause it kept saying "Rosolution doesn't fit" or something. So I saved it and restarted computer [17:26] Jonii: by typing "mount" and pressing enter. [17:26] kyle_: I have desktop Operational [17:26] Jonii: Did anyone answer you? If you use ext4 it's simply a matter of the right flags in fstab. [17:26] Now after I get to login, I login and it's just blag [17:26] black [17:26] And the resolution error is still there [17:26] how do I change with what external applications akregator opens links? e.g. I want links to .mp4 files to open in vlc. I can't find anything in akregators settings. is this a global kde-setting? if so, how do I change it without kde installed?

When I try to log into my account it tries, then the screen goes back to the login screen. [17:27] Could someone help? [17:27] bekks: yes my concern is - Do I need to, tinker with my graphics or should I just leave it alone. [17:27] zelrik: Ahhh. And ctrl+alt+f1 is giving you no console, because the driver you're using screwes it up. I had that happen with a via-unichrome chipset before. Either ssh in, or interrupt grub and tell it single (single user mode), that's command line. [17:27] |Anthony|: of course. 10.04 is a LTS release. [17:27] Jonii: mount|grep -e "discard|trim" [17:28] <|Anthony|> lol thanks JesseC [17:28] bekks: isn't the kernel built-in trim support is only for ext4? [17:28] <|Anthony|> er...

The laptop is for my son, and nobody else [18:43] |Anthony|: how high did you try to set it? [18:43] <|Anthony|> 2048 [18:43] GeekAdmin: so I should be prefer a fresh edubuntu install at this point [18:44] GeekAdmin, it wouldn't bite ubuntu, but i like a fresh experience for each ubuntu version. [18:44] |Anthony|: That's probably higher than your hard limit [18:44] OerHeks: ah ok. Yea I've had problems before when running "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop" for instance. [18:44] OerHeks: you're not breave :D [18:44] zetheroo: the wallpapers section is controlled by the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ and ~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/ (for user wallpaper sets) [18:44] thanks for your help everyone [18:45] gonna burn all my data on dvds and install debian [18:45] GeekAdmin, installing it on your ubuntu now, and you can choose from login. [18:45] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, doesn't it go in increments of 1024? [18:45] *brave [18:45] |Anthony|: It doesn't have to, no [18:45] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, and if that's higher than the hard limit, how do i change that? ulimit -H -n 2048 [18:46] |Anthony|: /etc/security/limits.conf [18:46] <|Anthony|> ah [18:46] <|Anthony|> right [18:48] is there an easy way to decrypt my home directory [18:48] <|Anthony|> b636bc7ca, the contents of that file are all commented out... just an example file. Is there somewhere else that the hard limit would be defined? [18:48] zelrik: Login [18:48] b636bc7ca: after login [18:49] <|Anthony|> that was funny [18:49] |Anthony|: Right - put a new line in that file with the value you want. [18:49] <|Anthony|> oh k [18:49] I want to be able to see it in recovery mode [18:49] zelrik: Once you've logged in, it should be decrypted [18:49] which isnt the case now [18:49] ok I want to *disable* it [18:50] zelrik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#How_to_Remove_an_Encrypted_Private_Directory_Setup [18:50] Does anyone here use mupen64plus? [18:50] i need to know how to set up a usb adapter [18:54] b636bc7ca: so I have to move all my files right? [18:54] zelrik, yeah [18:55] well remove them [18:55] or burn them on a DVD [18:55] or so [18:55] zelrik: Yes [18:56] Would anyone like to help me fix Ubuntu 11.10? I just installed it, and it only loads the "waiting for network configuration screen", then it goes black. Any help is very much appreciated!! [18:56] then I ll install debian while I am at it [18:56] Amy_: why didn't you go for the newer release? [18:57] quit [18:57] njaxx, I'm a total noob and it's for a class. I didn't know a newer one was available. using it on vmware vSphere [18:58] Amy_, then ask your teacher to help you :-) [18:58] Amy_: Which network adapter model did you setup? VMXNET3? If so, that wont work. [18:58] Amy_: can I suggest version 12.04 - there were a number of improvements in that version. [18:58] I did Seveas, but he isn't getting back to me. It's an online class. [18:59] njaxx, I've been trying to fix it myself, and have read that 12.04 is much better [19:00] Amy_: So which network adapter model did you setup in the settings of your vm? [19:00] I've tried fixing it through root, blah [19:01] I'm not sure, bekks [19:01] Amy_: If I was you, first thing I would do is get 12.04 and start from there. Secondly, what do you see in ifconfig -a [19:01] Amy_: Then check that setting. Using VMXNET3, it wont work. [19:02] I googled a bit on how to use `live-boot` to build a precise live CD, but I could only get it working up to booting gfxboot+casper, the rest of the packages aren't there (iso is only 200mb). Any how-to's for live-building precise? [19:03] hold on njaxx [19:03] !remaster | alkisg This sounds like what you might need to look at, [19:03] alkisg This sounds like what you might need to look at,: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [19:03] can i post a screen shot on here? [19:04] DJones: I think those are the old tools, while live-boot is the "new" way to go... === amit is now known as Guest73723 [19:04] how do you get more wallpapers to be added to the "Wallpapers" section in the Appearance settings dialog [19:04] no you cant [19:04] zetheroo: the wallpapers section is controlled by the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ and ~/.local/share/gnome-background-properties/ (for user wallpaper sets) [repost] [19:04] Amy_: just interested in interface name and IP [19:05] alkisg: ok, I've not heard/seen the live-boot info [19:05] DJones: thanks, some little info is there: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-o-live-build [19:05] trism: I copied all my wallpapers to /usr/share/backgrounds .. but they are still not showing up in the Wallpapers dialog [19:06] zetheroo: because of what I just said..., look at the xml files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties/ === Guest73723 is now known as shri [19:06] * alkisg tries with the linaro docs now... https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/LiveBuild [19:07] njaxx: I don't see a name or ip address when i typed in ifconfig -a [19:07] trism: there are two files in there ... precise-wallpapers.xml and ubuntu-wallpapers.xml .... which one should be modified? === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [19:08] zetheroo: neither, you can add your own [19:08] Amy_: then you probably don't have a virtual interface configured in VMWare. Go into VMWare and check the settings you have for you virtual NIc - what do u have? [19:08] I have a process that I want to run as a service; however, I need a specific command run at 'stop' in order to insure a clean shut-down. I know I can use the 'exec' stanza to write the command for 'start', but I don't see any way to specify the command for 'stop'? [19:09] trism: but it looks like each and every wallpaper has a section to itself in the xml file ... is there any way to automatically generate this or do you have to write it out manually? [19:09] zetheroo: just copy the ubuntu-wallpapers.xml one and add your own entries (you only need the and subtags, maybe zoom too) [19:10] trism: I have around 50 wallpapers .. that is going to take way too long ... is this really the only way to do it? It used to work so much better in past releases of Ubuntu ... :P [19:10] zetheroo: you could automatically generate it, I don't know how to the packages do it, but you could try: apt-get source ubuntu-wallpapers; and take a look, might have scripts [19:10] b636bc7ca: Cant you just call your binary from a script with a start and stop case statement? [19:11] zetheroo: it would be pretty simple to write a python script or whatever to do it as well [19:12] zetheroo: did you look something about upstart scripts? [19:12] hem sorry [19:12] trism: this should be possible without having to manually edit xml files or write python scripts - this is a very basic feature which was working previously in Ubuntu and now seems to be broken [19:12] njaxx: was for you [19:13] Hello. [19:13] hi Greg === Jordan_ is now known as jcrza [19:13] b636bc7ca: did you look something about upstart scripts? [19:13] sorry njaxx too, was for b636bc7ca [19:13] How can I remotely control one ubuntu 12.04 computer from another? [19:13] Good evening [19:13] Greg_B, vnc for gui, or ssh for terminal [19:13] I want to be able to fix/update my parents computer [19:13] GUI [19:14] Greg_B there are different ways, like ssh vpn etc [19:14] zetheroo: then file a bug [19:14] exutux: I've been looking at the upstart stanza documentation all morning, I see nothing about a stanza that indicates which command should be run on 'stop' [19:14] vnc on both ends? [19:15] Why is ubuntu so bad at my phone dont wana work as usb modem :( [19:15] I have seen the remote desktop application to allow connection [19:15] njaxx: under the hardware tab in my vm properties for ubuntu, it says "network adapter 1: invalid backing" [19:15] b636bc7ca: why not? stop on ... [19:15] stop on stop another one [19:15] exutux: That tells it which runlevels to stop on, it doesn't tell it the command to run? [19:16] stop on shutdown? [19:16] OK, so VNC on both computers? [19:16] 'stop on /event name/' [19:16] for example [19:16] exutux: I need to run a specific command on stop so that the software shuts down cleanly [19:16] Otherwise it will corrupt the datadir every time [19:17] sto on runlevel 6 [19:17] Amy_: u have a known VMWare issue - I'm just looking up the answer on VMWARE. [19:17] stop on runlevel 0 ando so on [19:17] exutux: I need to say "stop on runlevel 6 /foo/special/command -with -args" [19:17] njaxx: thank you so much. i've been pulling my hair out looking for answers on there [19:17] But upstart gives me errors when I do that [19:18] Amy_: You need to assign permissions to the virtual switch - check that. [19:18] Amy_: Virtua switch in VMWare I mean. [19:18] stop on runlevel 6 [19:18] exec yourscript [19:19] Amy_: check Inventory->Networking. You may have forgotten to assign them permissions to the switch. [19:19] Hello. Is there a way to change the shortcut for the host-key used in VirtualBox manually (by editing a configuration file)? The reason I ask is that I have no menus or a status bar in VirtualBox and the supposed host-key (Right Ctrl) doesn't do anything. [19:20] Amy_: If you don't have permissions to change the VMswitch config in VMWare, I would recommend you speak to whoever manages that VMHost. [19:20] njaxx: i don't have permissions [19:21] njaxx: thank you very much for the help anyway! [19:21] exutux: With "stop on [^2345] exec su -s /bin/sh -c 'exec "$0" "$@"' procotor -- /home/procotor/bin/padmin shutdown d1 safe" - when I run "start proctor", it starts and then immediately shuts down [19:21] exutux: The 2nd "exec" does not appear to know it's only supposed to run on stop [19:21] All 'exec' commands appear to be run on the 'start' action [19:21] Amy_: No problem, as soon as you get your virtual environment sorted, boot Ubuntu again and we can take it from there. Basically your Virtual Ubuntu does not have a working NIC at the moment. [19:22] :njaxx thanks :) [19:22] b636bc7ca: uhm try bounce options [19:22] exutux: "bounc options"? [19:22] b636bc7ca: uhmm I don't remember now [19:22] wait [19:23] OK, so I have read the VINO page and can see how to allow access. Remmina seems to be the program I would use on the other end. How to find the other computer? [19:23] b636bc7ca: yes bounce [19:24] after upgrading my server to 12.04 I have 2 drives giving the same info how do I solve this? [19:25] exutux: I don't see anything about a 'bounce' stanza at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/Stanzas [19:25] b636bc7ca: pff so I complitely out now, wait a moment [19:26] paulus68: They have the same UUID or something? [19:26] where can I go to learn fully about vnc? [19:26] I see the applications but do not know how to use them [19:27] genii-around: normally I had sda 1 with 463 gig harddrive and now sda became sdd for some weird reason [19:27] genii-around: and no not the same UUID [19:27] b636bc7ca: please download this complete manual http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/upstart_cookbook.pdf I'ma bit busy now [19:27] sorry [19:28] Is there a complete manual for controling one ubuntu computer from another, please? [19:28] paulus68: Sounds like boot order in bios got changed [19:28] btw you have to create a event for the command so after stop on runlevel 6 ; exec command and an event post-stop or pre-stop [19:29] genii-around: how can I check this? [19:29] b636bc7ca: upstart is a bit freaky [19:30] paulus68: To look in bios and see what order they are listed in there. But at any rate if you use UUIDs in fstab, should it matter much their /dev designations? [19:31] hi, can someone explain why i can see my wifi in lsmod but not in iwconfig? === aaaas is now known as aaas [19:31] genii-around: fstab http://pastebin.ca/2174977 lshw http://pastebin.ca/2174979 hwinfo http://pastebin.ca/2174980 [19:31] derpaliccious: Does ifconfig show it? [19:33] paulus68: Like I said, you should use UUID in the fstab instead of the /dev/sdX# way, then it doesn't matter where they apear [19:33] exutux: Based on section 4.4.2, it sounds like the only sane way to do this would be to modify my proctor process to install a SIGTERM handler and run its clean shutdown internally when it's tripped. [19:33] That's pretty dang ugly [19:33] genii-around: and /media/personal shows identical info as dsa1 [19:33] genii-around: sda1 [19:33] Seems like a gaping oversight in the design of upstart that it doesn't have an 'execstop' [19:34] genii-around: how to retrieve the UUID for each drive? [19:34] paulus68: sudo blkid === morsnowski is now known as sudo_strip [19:35] paulus68: I had a similar problem in 11.04 where the drives kept rotating from sda to sdb to sdc then back to sda again, using UUIDs prevented that [19:35] ( from affecting mounting ) [19:36] exutux: Hm - could I make a '/etc/init/proctor-stop.conf' and then set the 'start' event of *that* job as the 'stop' event of 'proctor'? [19:37] genii-around: http://pastebin.ca/2174984 [19:38] It just seems so backwards - I've GOT to be missing something [19:38] genii-around: where at this point sdb is identical to sda in the fstab [19:39] Hello again. I see how to create remote desktop sessions, but I don't see how to connect to another computer. Can anyone please help point me to a complete tutorial? === aaaas is now known as aaas [19:40] genii-around: how do I procede from here. [19:40] Greg_B: You need to run the "Remote Desktop Viewer" app. [19:41] OK. [19:41] On the machine I want to control from? [19:41] Thank you! [19:42] B0g4r7: thanks === carif_ is now known as carif [19:43] paulus68: Apologies on lag, work required me [19:43] paulus68: Basically you make entries like this: UUID=73ef1624-8922-41bd-a946-1fbe06434324 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 [19:44] paulus68: Instead of with the /dev/hdX# at the beginning [19:44] work again, afk [19:45] can any one please help me i can not ssh my ubuntu [19:46] genii-around: ok thanks [19:47] bipul: what are you trying to do [19:48] mydognameisrudy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112549/ [19:48] i am trying to login in my ubuntu via ssh [19:48] B0g4r7: and then I need to know the IP address of the computer I'm connecting to? and how about their firewall? [19:48] bipul: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [19:48] but unable to get inside [19:48] I use a VIA VT17085 audio chipset and the front panel audio is not working on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation. [19:48] how do I solve this? [19:49] Debolaz, i have installed that package [19:49] bipul: Are you trying to login with your username or trying to login as root? Root is disabled, etc [19:49] genii-around, i am trying to login as a root [19:49] The root account is disabled by default. [19:49] you need to ssh username@192.168.x.xxx [19:49] mydognameisrudy, why i can not ssh -X [19:50] bipul: There you go then [19:50] genii-around: is there a way to determine which UUID belongs to which /dev/sdX [19:50] paulus68: Yes, that info was in the output of sudo blkid :-) [19:50] Question: From what I read and experienced, Unity 3D does not want to work on 64-bit. Is that true? [19:50] Not quite, retromingent. [19:50] bipul: basically username@ is used to log in using another username. [19:50] Unity 3D takes up some resources when running on Ubuntu 64 bit. [19:51] Though, it works well enough, provided you have the required graphic processor. [19:51] AchlysEpithet: It does the same when using 32bit. [19:51] AchlysEpithet, thanks. Were you able to make it work? Any tips you can point out? [19:51] hello all [19:51] bekks, dude i try with user name also but unable to get inside [19:51] retromingent, do you use a discreet GPU? [19:51] You might need to get drivers for it. [19:51] try running gtk-jockey frontend for looking up for drivers. [19:52] [root@benny ~]# ssh h4x0r@113.19.129.149 Connection closed by 113.19.129.149 [19:52] I have a cron file in cron.d but the file isn't executed [19:52] bipul: Why are you doing it as root? [19:52] Can anyone tell me how to get front panel audio working in Ubuntu 12.04? [19:53] bekks, ? what do you mean [19:53] genii-around: my bad let me rephrase this is there a way to add for instance to what media driv sda is linked example sda currently /media/backup [19:53] sorry: doesn't get executed [19:53] man i am unable to even login as localhost [19:53] bipul: [root@benny ~]# ssh h4x0r@113.19.129.149 -- your are root, currently. Why? [19:53] bekks, fine [19:54] AchlysEpithet, do you mean an non-integrated video board? yes, it's separate. [19:54] bipul: So yre you trying to ssh into localhost or into a remote host? [19:54] retromingent, you need to drivers then. [19:54] * the drivers. [19:54] Darned keyboard. [19:55] bekks, in both [19:55] local and remote both .but unable to ssh [19:55] paulus68: It would have to be sda1 or sda2 or so on, not just sda. But in the output of blkid, to the left is the designation of sda# to the right is the UUID. From the output of just: mount you can find which is mounted currently at for instance /media/wherever then make an fstab entry for it, put as an option noauto if it's not always plugged in [19:56] bipul: And that username exists on both machines? [19:56] yes [19:56] Greg_B, Yes, you need to know the name or address of the host you are connecting to, and yes, any firewalls in the path will need to allow your connection for it to work. [19:56] [vipul@benny ~]$ ssh h4x0r@113.19.129.149 Connection closed by 113.19.129.149 [vipul@benny ~]$ [19:56] bipul: And both users have a valid shell? [19:57] genii-around: ok thx [19:57] bekks, yes man [19:57] yes both are having bash shell [19:57] bekks, can not i login as a root ? [19:57] bipul: you could nmap 113.19.129.149 see is shh shows [19:58] B0g4r7, thank you. I am trying it on my two computers. They see each other but the window is black. [19:58] dam ssh port 22 is open [19:58] bipul: No. Because the root account is disabled by default. And ssh inhibits the root login by default, too. [19:58] unity sucks up resources [19:58] bipul: Next, try increasing the ssh verbosity level using the -v option [19:58] bipul: if that doesnt help, use -vv or -vvv [19:59] nuthing is helping [19:59] I don't see any place to enter the password I assigned to the recieving computer [19:59] Is there any way to get 5.1 channel audio working on Ubuntu 12.04? [20:00] no hints, how to get cron to execute cron.d/otrs? [20:00] anyone out there able to help me troubleshoot a vpn connection issue? [20:02] bthatcher [20:02] maybe [20:02] bipul: ssh -v[vv] doesnt help, but outputs additional information pointing to the cause of the problem.

(12.04) [20:04] i have a dell poweredge server i just installed ubuntu on, its running extremely slow - it has the PERC 6/i raid card, i noticed disk reads are really bad, i removed all drives but one and its still really bad. hdparm -tT (7200 rpm sata drive) - cached reads = 72.98/sec buffered disk reads 12.87mb/sec. how can i troubleshoot what the cause is? not sure if its the raid card, cpu, something [20:04] else? [20:04] my flash player will not work [20:04] says something about gnome??? [20:04] hkais - VPN connection works, however after a reboot the connection is greyed out [20:05] bipul: Which ubuntu are you using on both sides? and can you please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-cache policy openssh-server" of both machines? [20:05] bthatcher: what type of vpn do you use? [20:05] I will have to try this again later. Thanks for the tips [20:06] Flash Player generally doesn't work well. [20:06] uploaded ubuntu 8.04 [20:06] hkais - cisco ipsec, Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Installed vpnc, and network-manager-vpnc [20:06] then i booted the 11? something [20:06] so i don't know [20:06] uhh, cisco... okay good luck ;-) [20:06] Guest63863, Is the array rebuilding as you perform the speed test? [20:06] IPsec, I tried it myself a while ago [20:06] hkais - the odd part is after doing a sudo apt-get upgrate it becomes available to select agai. [20:07] seeing a different sudo behavior in 10.04 and 12.04, an init script using http://pastie.org/4338392 exits with status 0 on 12.04 without executing the command in the pastie. has anyone seen anything like this? [20:07] If it is, that may explain why it's not so fast as you may expect. === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [20:07] so no one is helping me :( [20:07] i know nothing about ubuntu [20:07] hkais - it isnt a VPN issue. Its a ubuntu issue that has be confused as to why it continues to grey out. [20:07] bipul: I asked for additional information. [20:07] bthatcher: the only thing I've read was to get a running config for windows and convert it to linux. but it works only with the old type of cisco config [20:08] i have given you bekks [20:08] my friend sent me the cd & i downloaded [20:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112586/ [20:08] I couldn't get the cisco running under ubuntu... :( [20:08] he said the best but my flasplayer will not work 4 facebook [20:08] 0726 220514 < bekks> bipul: Which ubuntu are you using on both sides? and can you please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-cache policy openssh-server" of both machines?

[20:10] ok thanks so much === WebVisitor-2 is now known as ihazblues [20:11] hkais: at first I thought it was a missing package. now Im leaning more towards a service that isnt started till doing an apt-get? [20:12] So what am I doing wrong in trying to resize my disk? It's a single ext4 partition. I'm trying to just delete the old partition record, and create a new one with a larger size, but when I do that, upon rebooting, it fails to actually boot. [20:12] bthatcher: what does your log says? [20:12] I'm thinking that GRUB is getting upset somehow... [20:13] AchlysEpithet: thank you! [20:13] You're much welcome. ^^ [20:13] Did it work for you? === wei_ is now known as weifoo [20:14] hkais: I've only checked dmesg and nothing jumps out at me. Any other logs I should check [20:14] ? [20:14] bipul: try the following: ssh 113.19.129.149 -l h4x0r -p [20:14] hello! is anybody here have installed a global menu applet to xubuntu 12.04? [20:14] yes the startup of the networkmanager [20:15] or it's impossible, at least now& [20:15] wth [20:15] leave it man i will search on google [20:15] richard_; ssh: option requires an argument -- p [20:15] genii-around: how do I determine which order the fstab will use in order to boot? [20:15] the builtin bluetooth adapter on my laptop keeps disabling/enabling... any ideas? [20:16] hey all, just wanted to say thanks to all those that helped me out a few hours ago, got the server and ftp all set up and configured! [20:16] hkais: should that be in the dmesg log file or another? [20:16] just start with the first UUID from sda1 and sda5 followed by the UUID from sdb and so on [20:16] paulus68: The fstab doesn't care about boot/bios order , just that drive with UUID so-n-so gets mounted to place so-n-so === okay is now known as centrelink [20:17] okay: confused? Is has all the args it needs? the -p is to prompt for the password [20:17] genii-around: ok [20:17] paulus68: The root entry should be at top though, so that the other stuff doesn't try to get mounted before it does [20:17] How can I see what a package update did to my system? [20:17] hello! is anybody here have installed a global menu applet to xubuntu 12.04? [20:17] richard_: p is port... [20:18] bipul: I'll leave it, since I saw that you are on a debian there ;) [20:18] kaje1: Look up the package at packages.ubuntu.com and you can get a list of the files from there and where it put them [20:18] genii-around: I will keep the old sda1 on top with the swap and the rest below that [20:18] I've got an external USB HDD with 3 partitions (2 NTFS, the other HFS+). When I plug the drive in it appears to mount (I have mountusb installed), but then I see no files in the /media/usb[0-9] directories. I'm using Server 12.04 [20:19] I also have ntfs-3g, so it should be able to read it [20:19] anyone got an idea why suddenly, when watching flash videos in chrome I get huge cpu utilization and cannot do anything? there are some ComodoDNSExperiment processes blocking the whole system... latest ubuntu [20:19] Because Flash is terrible. [20:20] Would these be Youtube videos, that you meniton? [20:20] bthatcher: take a look in syslog [20:20] Youtube has an html5 player now, so you don't need Flash... [20:20] youtube as well as vimeo etc [20:20] there should be a entry with *nm* [20:21] B0g4r7, does it use the html5 player automatically? [20:21] It does for me, yes. [20:21] hm I still have flash plugin content that I can enable [20:21] is anybody here have installed a global menu applet to xubuntu 12.04? [20:21] in the video section [20:22] any hints why cron does not execute my file /etc/cron.d/otrs? [20:22] ah I have to check the html 5 test [20:22] solars: are you sure it is not your dns? [20:22] hkais: thanks, will d. [20:22] do [20:23] hkais, it probably does execute it, but it fails to do what you are expecting. Probably because things like $PATH are not present when it gets run by cron. [20:23] Ill check on the otrs [20:23] Is Xfce signifigantly faster than gnome-classic (no effects)? For some reason Xubuntu freezes up when loading, (really old laptop) [20:23] bthatcher: could you give me a example config for getting the vpn running with cisco? I couldn't get it running [20:23] graft, I'm not [20:23] evening all [20:23] solars: you'll need to join the youtube html5 trial .. http://www.youtube.com/html5 [20:24] yep I saw it, thanks [20:24] it was really easy i was missing this command sshd-generate @ bekks [20:24] B0g4r7: how can i debug cron? [20:25] hkais: cisco vpn any connect? [20:25] hkais: or simply vpn cisco? [20:25] Today i learn lession. in my life [20:25] bipul: ? [20:26] Erwyn: I want to connect with my ubuntu 12.04 to the cisco vpn [20:26] bipul: there is no sshd-generate on ubuntu. [20:26] GeekAdmin: yes, on weak hardware I'd go up from minimal installer (netinstall~expertmode, or alternate-cd) and then use icewm or such, they are lighter [20:27] bekks, i am using very old version of ubuntu [20:27] GeekAdmin: use a tool like htop to check your load , also look in syslog for other possible issue, specs of that box ? [20:27] DasEi: I tried installing with the alternate disc (xubuntu), but after it installed, it froze on startup. I cant boot to an xubuntu disc live either [20:27] Erwyn: Is a cisco ipsec [20:27] ah, no boot, safemode least ? [20:27] DasEi: 480 megs of ram. 1.4 ghz processor. Old gateway laptop [20:28] DasEi: is icewm similar to xfce? Do you think it will freeze like xubuntu did? === vulpix is now known as joltik [20:28] hkais, I'd first put a line at the top of the script "touch /tmp/foo" or something, then look for that file to see if the script actually got executed. [20:28] I have an ubuntu problem [20:28] GeekAdmin: that's not too bad, so most possibly you have another issue there than too weak machine [20:28] !nomodeset [20:28] 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 [20:28] hkais: did you installed the good packages? [20:29] bipul: which version? [20:29] B0g4r7: okay that is the always working workaround. But I have no clue, when it gets executed, so I have to wait. Is there a way to debug cron? [20:30] DasEi: Thats for sugesting icewm. I'm gonna try it. Hopefully it wont freeze the whole sytem like installing xfce did [20:30] 8 [20:30] *thanks [20:30] hkais: you have to install vpnc and network-manager-vpnc-gnome [20:30] GeekAdmin: you verified the installer cd as the live one ? most common are bad burns, or also try another live, like knoppix or such ? [20:30] Erwyn: what are the good packages? [20:30] bipul: which one exactly...? [20:30] ubottu, thanks for highlighting :) [20:30] Parameter: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:30] oo [20:30] bekks, it's ok bekks you try well to help me :) Thank's for you precious time [20:30] bot you say [20:30] [20:31] Erwyn: yes I have installed network-manager-vpnc, network-manager-vpnc-gnome, vpnc [20:31] DasEi: yea I tried 3 different versions of xubuntu. ALL freeze when loading. The alternate CD doesnt freeze and installs, but when I load for the first time it freezes. UNity and Gnome work but are very slow. Its a laptop for my 3 year old son, so he can watch movies and play games and what not [20:31] bipul: it wont happen again. :o) [20:31] Hi, does anyone know how to get multiarch support in ubuntu 10.04? [20:31] hkais, well, it should email the affected user if it encounters an error while executing their crontab. It will also write to syslog... [20:32] hkais: okay and? [20:32] GeekAdmin:http://tinyurl.com/d33329g [20:33] is it possible to install a global menu applet to xubuntu 12.04? [20:33] GeekAdmin: so why not use the unity one for initial install and then strip the os down later once you got a working cmd-line ? [20:33] Erwyn: I have a running windows pcf but if I transfer it to ubuntu, my connection isn't established [20:34] B0g4r7: I do not see any entry in the log file [20:34] maybe can anyone give me a link to download the sources? [20:34] all repos, as I know, are closed [20:34] pls, help me! [20:35] hkais: okay, did you try without the gui? command-line? [20:35] Erwyn: only via GUI, can I use the cmdline with the pcf file? [20:35] sony__: the source repos ? which location / which especially ? or take a look at repogen [20:35] http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ [20:36] hkais: i set up a cisco connection to vpn yesterday, what are you trying to do? [20:36] sony__: or did you ask for a tarball for a docking app that can't be found in repos ? [20:36] genii-around: I still get the same info for /media/personal and sda1 http://pastebin.ca/2174998 any thoughts? [20:37] hkais: yes [20:37] hkais let me guide you === Mike_ is now known as Guest89681 [20:39] as i know the only repo was on github, but it was closed a month ago...so i can't download neither tarbals, nor sources [20:39] anyone using 12.04, with an nvidia k2000m running non-open drivers successfully in here?

[20:43] I just installed "nvidia-current", and now when I try to change my display settings via nvidia-settings I get "Failed to set MetaMode" errors. Does anyone know what this means/how to fix it?

[20:44] Actionparsnip | because im already here but ill check the internet [20:44] wolfgang_: I'm already here too [20:45] sspy: so the motd mentions the easy installer? [20:45] sspy: after login etc? [20:45] genii-around: no go only /media/backup ok /media/personal and /media/applications empty [20:45] it's not /etc/motd. It is shown before login [20:45] wolfgang_: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/10.04/?q=joystick [20:45] Actionparsnip , i cant find it on playdeb.net [20:45] oh ok [20:46] sspy: is it mentioned in /etc/rc.local at all?

[20:46] actionparsnip , well heard [20:46] wolfgang_: you will need to add the PPA using this : http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb [20:47] paulus68: Your mountpoints in lines 17 and 19 also appear to just be / as in root [20:47] sspy: yay :). Those are ran just before the login screen (desktop) or prompt (server) [20:48] genii-around: so / needs to be replaced by /media/application? for example. [20:48] paulus68: UUID="d8480061-7a56-44a5-a3b6-e2f3fda4419a / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 should be: UUID="d8480061-7a56-44a5-a3b6-e2f3fda4419a /media/application ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 ...for instance [20:48] paulus68: Yes, exactly [20:48] genii-around: ok got you [20:48] if someone just had open heart surgery and afterwards the blood pressure was high and the lungs started locking up and the doctors said it could go either way, what do u think percent of survival is?

[20:51] actionparsnip, There isn’t a software package called “rejoystick” in your current software sources. [20:51] Can I install updates on a livecd USB? [20:52] wolfgang_: no but the 2 apps named will help configure joysticks. [20:52] Natrist: if you add a persistance, yes [20:52] Would I need to install Ubuntu on my USB key first? Is that even possible? [20:52] Natrist: don't think so, but i may be wrong; however, you can install ubutu on external drive [20:52] What's a persistance, ActionParsnip?

ActionParsnip so, how can I use alternate installer? [21:14] AchlysEpithet, well, the OS itself may be easy. But once you start trying to play games.. especially non-native games.. it gets difficult. For me, the act of installing a graphics driver has messed up the console display for ctrl alt f1-6 [21:14] I'm thinking about upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04. Has anyone done this before? Is it pretty safe? I don't want to lose any of my programs [21:14] dikim33: boot to the CD and it will install, just in text mode (like the Debian installer) [21:14] i'm trying to find some help accessing the internet on ubuntu, am i in the right place?

[21:16] ActionParsnip: thanks. i'm connected to the wireless network, but the internet isn't found. any suggestions for diagnosis? i feel a bit silly asking but have no idea where to start... [21:16] hi. i have ubuntu on one partition, and arch on another. the ubuntu installation also installed grub. how do I get grub to recognize my arch installation? "update-grub" doesnt do anything [21:16] MindALot: i've played Doom3, Postal2, DeusEX and Need for speed underground in wine with no issues. I also play urban terror and the penumbra series which are native :) [21:16] jaley_: can you ping your routers internal IP? [21:17] Ertyle, nope. I'm not saying it is the OS that is broken or anything. But it isn't always easy either.

[21:18] Hi, I'm trying out Linux Mint 13, and am stuck at grub: File not found. I think I chose to install "boot loader" to /dev/sda1, which is where I put my /boot partition. Was that wrong? [21:18] How can I fix it? [21:18] bwalker8981: Safe enough, but a complete reinstall is always better of course [21:18] bwalker8981, totally depends on a lot of things. I belive the official advice would be wait for 12.04.1 to come out. [21:18] Actionparsnip, What? i am not running from terminal [21:18] MindALot: yeah if you buy linux friendly stuff, you'll have fewer issues [21:19] messerting, mint has its own support channels. [21:19] Actionparsnip, its gui [21:19] I can't delete print jobs, any suggestions? [21:19] genii-around: solved thanks for your help [21:19] wolfgang_: you can run a terminal in the desktop.....did you seriously think the desktop OS was devoid of a terminal?? [21:19] messerting, and you want grub on the MBR of the hard drive.. ie: sda not sda1 [21:19] jaley_, first hit Ctrl+Alt+t and you type ifconfig in the window that comes up and hit enter, what does it say (paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste the link you get on there here) [21:19] Dr_willis: yes, but they seem dead. However, I though this was a generic enough *buntu question :) [21:19] as far as I know I have had this problem since I installed 12.04 but it was never an issue until I recently started printing a lot more [21:19] paulus68: You're welcome [21:20] wolfgang_: seriously? [21:20] Dr_willis: ok, though that might be the problem. How can I fix that from eg. the live cd? [21:20] !fixgrub [21:20] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[21:21] wolfgang_, under GNOME, at least ( : [21:21] wolfgang_: then what does "No idea what the hell you are talking about. ctrl+alt+t" mean exactly? [21:21] Lorra: in all the DEs ;) [21:22] wolfgang_: what else could that possibly mean? [21:22] jaley_, is your laptop supposed to use a wireless card or a network cable [21:22] Actionparsnip, can you just tell me what to do [21:22] ThePendulum: have you ever done an ubuntu upgrade and had any problems?

[21:24] wolfgang_: that's what I said to do, youo did it and it worked, so where does "No idea what the hell you are talking about" come from, what do you mean?

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:24] jaley_, when you type ifconfig and hit enter you should get a listing made of at least two parts each of them starting with a name like lo, or wlan0 or eth0 [21:24] Actionparsnip, How do i find out how to configure the rejoystick with my n64 controller [21:24] bwalker8981: in any case its safe to have a backup of your data, but I never had problems upgrading [21:25] wolfgang_: if you can tell me finally what you meant I can advise [21:25] lorra: yes, wlan0 is my wireless card. any suggestions for what i should look for? [21:25] when we launch virt-manager from it prompts for the root password. However, my user is in the kvm and qemu groups. What am I missing? Is there some extra step? [21:25] Actionparsnip, I dont care i wont take your help then.

[21:26] * messerting grub2 is fantastic [21:26] ActionParsnip, yes [21:26] I heard that !nomodeset is kind of poor on nvidia cards… is it possible to install the non-free drivers once ububtu's on disk?

Ubuntu doesn't appear to be showing it, and when I try to mount it, it says it's mounted already. [21:29] wolfgang_: I'm happy to help, I would just like to hear why you said what you said. That's all [21:29] jaley_, it's a file which contains the address of a computer which translates every name you type when you go on the Internet (a name like www.google.com) into an IP address, which is the thing your computer understands [21:29] jaley_, in the command window type ping -c 5 8.8.8.8 [21:29] ubuntuhelp_, out of curiosity, do you see the name of the drive when you type df on a console/xterm window ?

[21:31] lorra: no packets received. should have probably googled the nameserver thing, sorry [21:31] Hi :) [21:31] ubuntuhelp_: (If it says it's already mounted, it more-than-likely is). === phpGrabComics is now known as iconv [21:31] juboba: http://files.alfansa.org/ seen that? [21:31] MindALot: no, you have to install it [21:31] Actionparsnip, Dont even remember so you arent getting your answer.

[21:37] ubuntuhelp_: No, but I'll look now [21:37] ubuntuhelp_: probabily is in filesystem > media [21:38] jaley_, is 192.168.0.1 the IP address of your router? [21:38] ubuntuhelp_: open your home folder then and look [21:38] lorra: yes. [21:38] how do we update Adobe flash player? [21:39] ubuntuhelp_: Ok what is it you are wanting to mount? Which drive? [21:39] consfearacy: depends how you installed it [21:39] ubuntuhelp_: oh you're using wubi? [21:39] wubi :( [21:39] ubuntuhelp_: is it the DA DRIVE? [21:39] Umm nope its under "hosts" for some reason [21:40] it says its mounted but the drive is showing as a folder under the filesystem not as a drive [21:40] jaley_: didn't you say adding the line to resolv.conf gave you web access? [21:40] Ok, I've not used ubuntu since about 2008, but I was just installing it and god damn does it look polished. [21:40] which is the 'parent' package for ubuntu-studio?

[21:40] ubuntuhelp_: it' a folder [21:40] s* [21:40] spm_Draget: it doesn't have one, its a metapackage [21:40] usr13: I did it's not there, but under /hosts/ it shows the drive [21:41] no more difference between them [21:41] ActionParsnip: Well, yes, I am loking for that metapackage. I ran the alternate installer and 'accidently' installed it along with the regular desktop - I want to purge all of it [21:41] actionparsnip: no...? [21:41] ubuntuhelp_: So are you finding the files you want? [21:41] someone kill wubi please [21:41] spm_Draget: uninstalling the metapackage doesn't remove the contants [21:41] jaley_: sorry, my mistake [21:42] exutux: I wish [21:42] usr13: Yes I am now, but I am confused why is it not showing up as a hard-drive under media, and showing up under /hosts/ is there a way for me to change that? [21:42] Then how would I remove all ubuntu-studio related packages? [21:42] spm_Draget: you can check http://packages.ubuntu.com to see what it installs and remove what you don't want [21:42] Actionparsnip, I really cant find any thing elses helpful. I said it because i didnt know what you were talking about... [21:42] ubuntuhelp_: Yes. What kind of drive is it? USB? Or __________ ? [21:42] ubuntuhelp_: /media is a mount fs point and is a folder [21:43] on linux all is file/folder [21:43] Usr13: It's an internal hard-drive [21:43] wolfgang_: if you run: xev and press buttons on the joypad cause a reaction in the terminal?? [21:43] ubuntuhelp_: pastebinit /etc/fstab #And send resultin URL here. [21:43] So there is no 'easy' way of getting rid of what the alternate installer installed along with teh studio option? [21:44] jaley_, can you ping yourself? [21:44] usr13: ok so what terminal command do you want me to pastebin? [21:44] ubuntuhelp_: pastebinit /etc/fstab #And send resultin URL here.

[21:47] ThePendulum, rerun 'sudo update-grub' on ubuntu and see if it detexcts/adds windows to the grub menu. Or just tell the system to boot the windows hd. If grub is not on that hd. [21:47] lorrra: iptable command not found, but not that i'm aware of, no [21:47] wolfgang_: oh sorry, though it was xbox [21:47] usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112748/ [21:47] ActionParsnip, Dr_willis: I'd have to try that, allow me a few minutes [21:47] Dr_willis: I tried booting to the HDD but then I get a grub error stating that the device doesn't exist.

[21:48] ThePendulum: you've isntalled grub on SDD [21:48] ActionParsnip: I see update-grub returns a few results, but I don't think it added Windows [21:48] exutux: That's correct [21:48] ubuntuhelp_: because you have installed ubuntu with wubi [21:48] exutux: But it still gets involved when booting from the HDD, for whatever reason [21:48] Whats that? [21:49] how's called the privoxy alternative? [21:49] ubuntuhelp_: Ok, do you see line 5 at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112749/ ?

[21:49] ubuntuhelp_: As you see on line 5, you have designated a mount point for it: /hosts [21:49] BlouBlou, polipo [21:49] ThePendulum: sure but when you boot with SDD grub does show windows? [21:50] raven: Use another USB-stick/CD and make sure to select the right disk? [21:50] exutux: No, that's the problem [21:50] ubuntuhelp_: What would you like it to be? (We can change it.) [21:50] usr13: I see this, how do i correct this? [21:50] Umm I would just like it listed just as the other drives [21:50] is there an alternative download for the ISO aside from the FTP link provided on the website? I'm only getting 100kbps off it [21:50] ubuntuhelp_: Choose a name. [21:50] ubuntuhelp_: What is on the drive? [21:50] LDrive [21:51] wolfgang_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713241 seems to work with jscal which is part of the joystick package [21:51] lorra: i'm going to give up for the night and try again tomorrow, thanks for trying - much appreciated. cheers. [21:51] ubuntuhelp_: L drive means noting in Linux [21:51] ThePendulum: sudo os-prober [21:51] user13: mp3s, movies, etc. 300gb of crap [21:51] raven it's called a persistent install [21:51] Hey everyone. I just installed Ubuntu on a seperate partition from Windows7. When I try to start it up I am told that there is a problem with my graphics drivers and given a few options, like Troubleshoot and Start in Low Graphics mode. Whatever I choose I'm taken to a text-entry screen, and have no idea what to do, so I just ctr-alt-delete out of there. This has now happened several times. Any advice? [21:51] jaley_, I'll keep a bit of time interrogating myself about it [21:51] ubuntuhelp_: its not even a drive, its a partition [21:51] actionparsnip: he asked me what i would like to name it [21:51] ThePendulum installation works fine but the installer does not ask to install it to sdb but it overwrites it to sda [21:51] ubuntuhelp_: Ok good. Now do this: sudo mkdir /LDrive #In a terminal. [21:52] 'night all [21:52] Never mind found the torrent link [21:52] anyone able to help with setting up a tap interface for a openvpn? i have working configs just the tap0 keeps giving me errors... [21:52] usr13: Ok [21:52] ubuntuhelp_: if it is NTFS is the partition healthy? When did you last chkdsk the partition? [21:52] ubuntuhelp_: Then issue this command: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab #And change /host to /LDrive [21:52] raven: That's a pity [21:53] usr13: that may kill his link to the windows partition ... i think [21:53] is there a way to boot with a live cd and change the passwords of windows 7 users? [21:53] ubuntuhelp_: Then do this: umount /host;mount /LDrive [21:53] exutux: What did that do? === passcod is now known as passcod|away [21:53] romy420: What? [21:53] !away > passcod|away [21:53] passcod|away, please see my private message [21:53] ThePendulum: in a terminal type sudo os-prober [21:53] if this is wubi then host will be most likely windows [21:53] sda1 [21:53] romy420: yeah [21:54] exutux: Yeah, I understood and I did that, I was curious as for what it did [21:54] it must be one of the drives under /media [21:54] usr13: wubi will try to mount it double down /host/media [21:54] ubuntuhelp_: Do you have a wubi install? [21:54] user13: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab #And change /host to /LDrive <-- all one command? [21:54] usr13: obv yes [21:54] ThePendulum: does it found windows? [21:55] usr13: Wubi install? I don't think so [21:55] ubuntuhelp_: DO not change the /etc/fstab file. Leave it alone. (I did not know it was wubi.) [21:55] ubuntuhelp: does the drive not show up in the side pane of nautilus? [21:55] ThePendulum: os-prober is a grub feature for find other OS [21:55] ubuntuhelp_: Yes you do. So just leave it as it is. [21:55] romy420: no it does not [21:55] ubuntuhelp_: Ok? [21:56] exutux: Ah okay. Allow me to reboot and check. [21:56] usr13: leave what as is? [21:56] anyone know why i get a no device found when i do ifconfig tap0 up? === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [21:56] ubuntuhelp_: You have a wubi install, so leave it as it is. Ok. [21:56] ubuntuhelp_: so open media folder in nautilus and then you can bookmark it on nautilus for fast click [21:56] exutux: romy420, thanks for pointing that out to me. [21:56] ubuntuheelp: then it should still be accessible if u go to /media in nautilus [21:57] ThePendulum: does os-prober found windows? [21:57] i'm doing a .sh script which will install my common tools. how can i switch to gnome3 via cli? (rather then log out then log back in) [21:57] usr13: oc :) [21:57] ubuntuhelp_: Yes. Do not change the /etc/fstab file. If you already changed it, just put it back as it is. /host === mike_ is now known as Guest15765 [21:57] actionparsnip, didnt work [21:57] usr13: 6 eyes better than 2 eyes :D [21:57] exutux: Should it be giving me a direct terminal result? [21:57] exutux: If so, then no, it didn't return anything [21:58] ThePendulum: uhm [21:58] ubuntuhelp_: I suggest that when you get done playing with wubi, do a real Ubuntu install, you will like it better. [21:58] Is it possible to erase the GPT partition table on a an external drive if the SATA->USB controller doesn't support the full size of the drive?

[22:07] ubuntuhelp: how man internal hard disks do u have? three? === ReTFEF is now known as TheTFEf === TheTFEf is now known as TheTFEF [22:07] actionparsnip, hello? [22:07] romy420: ya 40gb, 300gb, 3tb [22:08] y tu hablas español no sabes sobre esto? sobre ubuntu [22:08] wolfgang_: sup [22:08] but the drive that is recognized, is external? [22:08] pb: can i dual boot via livecd? with windows7? [22:08] not [22:08] cirrect.. [22:08] dime como se llama el canal de ubuntu en español [22:08] correct. [22:08] ubuntuhelp_: I'm not talking about running LiveCD, I'm talking about doing a Ubuntu install, (dual boot system). [22:08] por favor [22:08] please [22:08] hey guys im getting confused with output from the command sensors wiht lm-sensors [22:08] actionparsnip, not sure if works [22:08] !es | david [22:08] can anyone tell me what acpitz-virtualdevice is [22:09] wolfgang_: that's all I can advise [22:09] david: #ubuntu-es [22:09] exutux: Nothing worked. I also noticed that I can't boot any device directly, but some device simply known as "ubuntu" to my motherboard which should be the SSD. Yet booting the SSD directly results in a device error just like the Windows HDD. [22:09] actiopqrsnip, ok thnx [22:09] david, si tienes alguna pregunta puedes hacerla aqui. Pues hay el canal ubuntu-es si quieres hablar Espanol [22:09] usr13: I thought thats what I did when i installed via windows 7. but i guess i gotta burn it on disk then boot from disk to install and dualboot? [22:09] you install from the cd. to duel boot w/o wuibi.. or use wuibi. but I find thats more system intensive. [22:10] ThePendulum: so try to reinstall grub on mbr 's HDD [22:10] !grub [22:10] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:10] exutux: mbr's HDD? [22:10] that and I could never get it to work well for me. :( [22:10] hello [22:10] exutux: GRUB shouldn't be on that HDD at all [22:10] exutux: I installed Ubuntu after Windows btw [22:10] wubi basically creates an ubuntu desktop environment on your windows OS. [22:11] ThePendulum: yeah but your grub is isntalled on SDD [22:11] pb: k so when i uninstall wubi, and got ubuntu on disk. but still have windows 7 installed, i just install wubi via bootup process then it'll run side by side with windows 7? [22:11] not on the HDD [22:11] so reinstall grub on HDD ( sda ) i suppose [22:11] ubuntuhelp_, you no longer require the need for wubi if you have the cd. [22:12] http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php why does the font look so horrible? [22:12] exutux: It's supposed to be on the SSD because that's where Ubuntu is. Why would GRUB need to be present on the HDD? [22:12] pb; but that means everytime i boot i will need to have the cd in my drive right? [22:12] ubuntuhelp_, and yes. you can have ubuntu partition the drive automatically. its option #1 when installing. [22:12] sda is the SSD with ubuntu [22:12] ubuntuhelp_, nope. [22:12] ActionPsrsnip : that video looks promising, THank you. [22:13] ubuntuhelp_, just the once. make sure to leave at least 1gb I think as a spacer.. for the switch over. [22:13] ThePendulum: because grub ( or all boot loaders ) need to install on the first HDD boot, on mbr [22:13] oh sweet :D so installing via cd vs wubi means system will be using less resources there for running quicker [22:14] exutux: I still don't quite understand. The SSD is the first device to boot and the SSD has GRUB. [22:14] ubuntuhelp_, ubuntu requires at least 11gb of partition space. to run. good luck saving tons of stuff on it tho. id suggest more. [22:14] GRUB needs to be on all devices that need to boot? [22:14] ThePendulum: nope [22:14] ThePendulum: ok if SDD is a first boot option it's ok [22:14] ubuntuhelp_, I believe so.. as i stated. wubi basically installs ubunto as an application that you run in windows.. === ztag100_ is now known as ztag100 [22:15] exutux: It is, as Windows is just a sidekick OS for gaming. Ubuntu loads by default [22:15] exutux: Also, I didn't select the SSD device as first device, because that doesn't work for whatever reason, I selected [22:15] pb: I got plenty of space so i'll have fun doing that. I was just curious about unbuntu yesterday so tried it out and liking it so far. [22:15] Thanks for helping everyone, very help and informative. [22:15] exutux: I select 'ubuntu' which redirects to the SSD in some strange fashion, but it should be the SSD anyway [22:15] but in this case windows chainloader is different ( standard is cainloader 1 ) and grub check to pass boot for windows, at windows bootloader [22:15] ubuntuhelp_, its very user friendly..Im using it to introduce me to the world of linux OS. [22:16] ThePendulum: I'm talking about first boot on bios [22:16] not in grub menu [22:16] ubuntuhelp_, it sort of babys you along. [22:16] exutux: The first boot is simply listed as "ubuntu", and I honestly don't know what exactly happens there. The Ubuntu that it loads is installed on the SSD, but booting directly from the SSD results in a device error. Something's completely messed up. [22:16] ThePendulum, did you try os-prober && update-grub ? [22:16] hi. [22:17] ThePendulum: I'm talking about first boot on bios not in grub menu [22:17] thats good to know, and got a place like here for more troubleshooting [22:17] thanks again, im off. [22:17] so what is my screen brightness no longer working and my xwindows restart all the time now [22:17] i always keep GRUB on my Linux drive's mbr. and leave the windows HD totally untouched. [22:17] so why [22:17] OerHeks: I did [22:17] exutux: I'm confused, I AM talking about the BIOS [22:17] osmosis: does the system have a make and model? [22:18] ThePendulum: if you boot without SDD connected what appens? [22:18] happens? [22:18] ActionParsnip, Samsung Series 9 laptop, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [22:18] osmosis: why was that not in your initial question? [22:18] Some games will not open from launcher or dash Ubuntu 12.04 [22:19] ActionParsnip, because i thought it would be an xorg issue, and not specifically a driver issue. [22:19] Dr_willis: I have a separate MS Windows system. It gets turned on once in a while. But my laptop, I have dual boot and grub on MBR, and again, rarely use MS Windows. [22:19] osmosis: its still useful to add [22:19] I have a problem with installing steam with wine. I wish to install it on another directory, and i've set it up virtually as another drive in winecfg. [22:19] http://s17.postimage.org/3o48tl1mn/ubuntufont.jpg seriously that font is horrible [22:19] But when i try to install steam, it won't ask me for install location anymore. [22:20] ActionParsnip, was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same thing or if this is a known issue. [22:20] it just automaticly chooses c:\ [22:20] osmosis: try the boot option: acpi_backlight=vendor acpi_osi=Linux  [22:20] ActionParsnip, does that go in grub? === Jason is now known as Guest73328 [22:20] https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux There's a link to a blog about a native Linux Steam client coming soon. [22:20] ActionParsnip, btw...this was all working until a recent system update [22:20] osmosis: yes, [22:20] osmosis: are there any bugs reported? [22:21] g0thFvck i am aware of it [22:21] i wish to test the performance of windows game not making the linux jump. [22:21] games* [22:21] ActionParsnip, hmm..i wonder what the xorg.log says === richard is now known as Guest84627 [22:24] Xorg.log is mostly useless...doesnt have any timestamps [22:24] is there a way to get your multiple workspace work independently of each other? as in. if you close something on workspace 1. it stays opened on 2? [22:25] if you open something on 2. it dosn't show on 1. [22:25] I am upgrading to 12.04 I got the message that some third party entiries in my source.list were disabled and I can reinable them after upgrade. can i enable them now so they will be installed with the upgrade? [22:26] brophat: honestly you probably won't use them. you can remember their names and grab them manually from the ubuntu software center after installation completes [22:26] exutux: Still nothing but a grub device error [22:26] pb how do I find their names? [22:27] the msg did not tell me the names [22:27] IIRC its some sort of mp3 editor and something else.. just applications to play with. nothing system essential. [22:27] for what its worth I never did it cause I hate long install times. =) [22:27] brophat: the installer/upgrader disable the PPA's because they can and probably will cause problems if not. === jiohdibrb is now known as jiohdi [22:28] IdleOne ok [22:28] ^^ agreed. never wanted to take the chance during the initial installation [22:28] ActionPsrsnip : Video helped get back into ubuntu.. now ot correct the grub menu on the rest of the alternatives. [22:28] brophat: sure you can google it and come up with the names.. [22:28] ThePendulum: can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l [22:28] ? [22:29] exutux: Certainly, just a sec [22:29] whats the default filesystem ubuntu uses these days ext3 or 4? [22:29] exutux: http://pastie.org/4339072 [22:29] What I ddi was install netBsd on the first PATA drive. ubuntu 12.04 is on the first SATA drive [22:29] NetEcho: 4 [22:29] ty [22:31] ThePendulum: please sudo file -s /dev/sda; sudo file -s /dev/sdb; sudo file -s /dev/sdc === matt____ is now known as LinuxHack3r [22:31] I dont' suppose anyone here is using their 12.04 box as a domain client on an AD, OSX, or SMB domain? [22:31] ThePendulum: is windows 7 or what? [22:31] exutux: Yeah, on sdc [22:32] exutux: http://pastie.org/4339086 [22:33] ls [22:35] I'm having issues setting up file sharing between two Ubuntu's. I tried using Samba, but the guest can't connect to the host - it just says "failed to mount windows share" after I select the share that's on the host. What can I do? [22:35] vadi2: nfs is what you want. [22:36] vadi2: why would you use samba for two linux boxes? [22:36] I used it because it was easy to setup. There's an option in Nautilus right there to create it, and it applies permissions for you. [22:36] vadi2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [22:36] I don't mind what's used. Ok, I'll try that. [22:36] why not use samba [22:37] so i am upgrading to 12.04 and my download spead is around 50 kb/s is that any good? [22:37] brophat: That's pretty low [22:37] brophat: try another mirror [22:37] usr13: that looks rather complicated... sorry. "Providing you understand what you are doing" <- I don't [22:37] vadi2: If you also want to share with MS Windows systems, yes, by all means use samba, but between two Ubuntu systems, nfs is the way to go for sure. [22:37] There's no Windows involved. [22:38] i dont think nfs > smb [22:38] vadi2: Use nfs [22:38] Raydiation when I click the upgrade button it does not give me a choice of mirror [22:38] brophat: set it in your software sources [22:38] Raydiation how do I do that [22:38] Raydiation: It greatly depends on which version of NFS, and what you're doing with it. [22:39] ThePendulum: I think that you cat try to add manually windows 7 in a 40_custom script grub [22:39] can* [22:39] Is there a graphical easy-to-use installer for NFS that does everything that should be done? [22:39] hmm [22:39] brophat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Download_Server [22:39] kyle__: nfs4? [22:39] Raydiation: nfsv4 is >>>> samba. It's great. [22:39] exutux: Could it be that the hard disk is formatted wrong for Windows? Or perhaps the SSD? [22:39] ThePendulum: or if you want can try to reinstall grub before [22:40] exutux: What will that do? [22:40] Raydiation: Sadly, if you have OSX clients, you can't use it: the OSX nfsv4 implementation has been in alpha since 10.5 I think. [22:40] Raydiation I don't know doesn' [22:41] Raydiation doesn't the button you click to upgrade automate it all? I can do the same thing from that repository? [22:41] vadi2: It's possible, but it would take some setup to get it going. Something like, dhcp server + pxe boot setup, modify the configs, etc, etc. Not streightforward. [22:41] ThePendulum: uhm I don't know but I don't think that it was formatted... [22:41] ThePendulum: try reinstall grub first [22:42] hi, can someone explain why i can see my wifi in lsmod but not in iwconfig? [22:42] then try to add manually [22:42] kyle__: yeah - I'm not a linux admin, I'd like something that's ridiculously easy like samba is (which isn't fully working) [22:42] Hi, how do I known if I'm running unity-3d or unity-2d ? [22:42] exutux: Well it has been formatted at some point of course. The HDDs both have a msdos partitioning table [22:42] vadi2: Sorry :) The "is-it-possible" type question is quite often answered with yes, but rarely answered with easy. [22:42] exutux: How do I properly reinstall grub? [22:42] ThePendulum: http://technologytales.com/2010/11/21/manually-adding-an-entry-for-windows-7-to-an-ubuntu-grub2-menu/ this explain you about root [22:42] !grub | ThePendulum [22:43] ThePendulum: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

[22:43] aguitel: why do you think? [22:44] hi [22:44] bye [22:44] i dont know [22:44] I'd like to fix this samba issue, is there anything I can do - it says "failed to mount windows share" after I've connected to the host and tried to access a guest-enabled share [22:44] aguitel: no one else does [22:44] so can someone tell me why 12.04 keeps freezing totally on me? [22:44] the only solution is a hard reboot [22:44] aguitel: do you go to the doctor and say hey, my chest hurts, whats wrong with me? [22:44] vadi2: Are you doing a command line mount or a gui mount? [22:44] heligoland: bad hardware [22:44] kyle__: gui, nautilus [22:44] Alives: bad hardware? you mean, a brand new computer? [22:45] exutux: Should I do a grub-install on sdc, the Windows drive? [22:45] heligoland: new has nothing to do with it [22:45] vadi2: Lets try on the command line, it may give us more info. [22:45] Greetings! Is anyone aware of how to change the default permissions for auto-mounting new volumes, or to simply turn off automount? [22:45] Alives, so what's the issue? [22:45] heligoland: it could be a cooling issue, could be a cpu issue, could be a ram issue [22:45] kyle__: alright. think you can give me the command to use? [22:45] heligoland: oh, your flux capacitor, thats it [22:45] Alives, how can I find out what/? [22:45] vadi2: make a directory in /tmp, like this mkdir /tmp/testmount [22:45] Alives, im open to your advice [22:45] heligoland: check logs [22:45] heligoland: look at kernel panics [22:46] Alives, how can i do that? [22:46] vadi2: check the settings again and try to allow 'guest access' [22:46] vadi2: then sudo mount -t cifs / /mnt/testmount [22:46] heligoland: tail -f /var/log/syslog [22:46] vadi2: Actually, use the more traiditional noation, mount -t cifs //nameofserver/nameofmount /mnt/testmount [22:46] romy420: without guest access, it prompts for authentication that I can't go through, with guest access, it just fails. I'm trying the command line now === iconv is now known as cmake [22:46] ok [22:47] no sudo? [22:47] i see ... samba can be a mess [22:47] Greetings! Is anyone aware of how to change the default permissions for auto-mounting new volumes, or simply turning of automount altogether? [22:47] vadi2: yes sudo. [22:47] vadi2: for mounting, assume you'll need sudo for now. [22:48] Alives, anything else? [22:48] !botsnack [22:48] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [22:48] actionparsnip, nothing has worked and i have spent all day looking. any more ideas? [22:48] Q about cairo-dock: I need some 'icon' which permits dismounting external hard drives (just by clicking). Any idea? [22:48] wolfgang_: no idea dude, looks like you need to compile [22:48] Any key word? [22:48] Multbrelch: you can use nautilus for that [22:48] Actionparsnip, what is compile? [22:49] wolfgang_: convert source code into application [22:49] kyle__: when i try this here (because i dont like the gvfs-mount) then it mounts and then my system locks, when trying to access the share in any way [22:49] ActionParsnip, I know, but I would like to have a nice way to do it, u know ... [22:49] Actionparsnip, How do i do that? [22:49] kyle__: ever heard of that? [22:50] wolfgang_: it was in the links I gave you [22:50] ActionParsnip, like in Unity an icon [22:50] Looks like this might explain the automount problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [22:50] Multbrelch: you could make a script to unmount what you have, then add that to the dock [22:50] Actionparsnip, you gave me alot any idea which one? [22:51] kyle__: here's what it says: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=8YGpKnqi [22:51] ActionParsnip, well yes, this is the last solution ... [22:51] There is nothing already done? [22:51] romy420: That's strange. Does the system respond if you switch to a console? [22:51] kyle__: no [22:52] actionparsnip, there are no more links all to far gone in the chat thing [22:52] hi, can someone explain why i can see my wifi in lsmod but not in iwconfig? [22:52] vadi2: Humm. Type whereis mount.cifs [22:52] It's somewhere... [22:53] i unmounted the gvfs-mount, mounted as root the share, then it hangs when trying to 'ls' or trying to access it in nautilus. and all just because it sucks not being able to save directly to network drives/shares :( [22:53] Also, I don't think I've ever used a share with a space in it's name. Dunno what that will do to it. [22:53] http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=RvMWhCZv [22:53] I'll try removing the space. [22:53] romy420: Never heard of something like that...sorry. [22:53] hm ok [22:54] vadi2: Um. I don't see mount.cifs. Did you sudo apt-get install samba-common? [22:54] me, no... nautilus prompted me to install something samba [22:54] I didn't do it on the laptop though [22:54] vadi2: nautilus uses some silly fuse thing IIRC (not a nautilus expert, or fan). Go ahead and get samba-common. [22:57] Actionparsnip, Can i get a full refund from amazon? [22:57] wolfgang_: not sure === bapt_ is now known as bsaleil [22:58] kyle__: both computers had samba-common [22:59] exutux: I'm going to see what the Windows repair disk can do for me [22:59] Actionparsnip, They gave me a free two day shipping then charged me for it after they shipped it. [22:59] vadi2: Errrr. Try it without the -t cifs then. mount //servername/sharename /mnt/testmount [22:59] Actionparsnip, wich has made me hate amazon [22:59] If I wanted to forward all root's mail to an external address, what are the pros/cons of using either a .forward file, or editing /etc/aliases? ie. which one should I be doing? [22:59] kyle__: I'm seeing something suspicious though. Shouldn't the folder not have "none" for group and others folder access? [23:00] is there any special drivers or something I need for a Radeon X1400? [23:00] vadi2: On which side? [23:00] kyle__: nautilus tells me every time I modify the share that it'll apply permissions for me, yet it says "none" on them. This is on the host side. [23:00] This is a whole USB drive I'm trying to make a share, here. [23:00] vadi2: By read and execute access is common for group. [23:00] hi all!!! [23:00] Hum. [23:00] No, only I have any permission, nobody else. I'll show. [23:01] Actionparsnip, makes me miss windows i have had more problems with linux. [23:01] vadi2: I hate to do this, but it's quitting time, and I've got to run. [23:01] kyle__: no worries, thanks for the help so far. [23:01] vadi2: If nobody has you sorted out by tomorrow, I'll be back around to help. Good luck [23:03] Actionparsnip, What is the difference between ubuntu and lubuntu? [23:03] hey, I'm trying to help a friend by phone. He's running vanilla 12.04... and I'm not. Where the heck is the basic, top-level menu listing all of the applications? It's not where I expect it, and I can't see his machine to fiddle. [23:03] vadi2: there's a another way in nautilus to connect to a windows share [23:04] I'm thinking this is a permissions problem... nautilus is applying permissions for write others to it, but they aren't sticking. [23:04] vadi2: open nautilus and choose 'connect to a server' in file-menu [23:04] Yeah, I've tried that as well === GeekAdmin is now known as Geek{eating} [23:05] for me it only works this way and also i have to use the ip of the other machine, not it's windows name [23:06] Yeah, did the IP. It can see the share - but it can't open it. [23:06] sometimes it is also necessary to do 'smbpasswd -a to link samab password with unix password [23:06] do it as root [23:07] How do i get wine1.5? [23:07] How do I use an army cac card reader on ubuntu? [23:08] How is ubuntu on galaxy s2? [23:08] chaospsychex: works fine, mostly. It gives an error dialog when you connect it, but it mounts it and you can browse. [23:09] Connect? To what? [23:09] to ubuntu? [23:09] hi, can someone explain why i can see my wifi in lsmod but not in iwconfig? [23:09] Or do you mean install ubuntu on s2 [23:10] wolfgang_ lubuntu has the lighter lxde DE - wine is in the repos [23:10] You connect to the phone running ubuntu? Remote desktop? [23:11] I dont understand what you connect to [23:12] I thought its full ubuntu on android? [23:12] hey guys [23:13] I replaced my fan [23:13] still no dice [23:13] any help? [23:13] dylan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:13] chaospsychex: no, sorry. I thought you meant connect s2 to ubuntu to get files and etc. I don't know about running ubuntu on android [23:14] Can someone provide info on ubuntu on android? [23:15] chaospsychex start here http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android [23:15] never mind guys, it works [23:16] Yes, i've read that but it doesn't go deeply into details. What is the vnc thing about? [23:16] !vnc [23:16] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [23:17] theres VM's for android that run linux , you connect to the vm session via VNC. :) to get a visible desktop [23:17] Yes i know but why is a vnc setup required for ubuntu on android? [23:17] to view the Desktop. [23:18] Why cant you have a visible desktop without vnc? [23:18] hello [23:18] chaospsychex, because the Phone does not have a X server, or let the VM take over the display directly [23:18] i get this error msg: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_WindowListApplet". any1 know what it means [23:18] Its in a Virtual Machine. [23:18] So the ubuntu install is being virtualized? [23:19] thats what 'vm' means. :) [23:19] Interesting. So only x is being virtualized? Not the entire install? [23:20] http://www.redmondpie.com/install-and-run-ubuntu-on-your-android-device-with-ubuntu-installer-download-now/ [23:20] The WHOLE OS is in a virtual machine.. the vm is accessed by a native android vnc app. [23:21] at least thats how ive seen it done so far.. ;) === zaphod is now known as Guest35308 [23:21] I have 12.04 and in blender the window is maximizing and unmaximizing spontaneously and I cannot get work done [23:22] Oh, now i understand. [23:22] DOes anyone know how to run project64 with ine? [23:22] *wine [23:23] brb gota reset comp [23:23] ubuntu is RESIZING the window automatically WTF how do i stop it [23:23] Hi everyone [23:23] can someone please tell me where truetype fonts are kept on Ubuntu web server? === red_m is now known as Red_M [23:24] Anyone had a successful install with 12.04 - airtime 2 - qjacktl - mixxx ? [23:24] meteors: /usr/share/fonts/truetype [23:24] HaltingState, could be some odd unity/compiz quirk. but i cant imagine what .. try a differnt window manager/desktop perhaps as a test. [23:24] Hello. I haven't updated ubuntu in awhile. I'm running 11.04. I really dislike unity, and would like to be able to keep the 'ubuntu classic' login. Does the newest version have this option still? Or is it unity only? [23:25] Thanks. I looked in there and found only one type of font. I guess no others have been installed. [23:25] meteors: Sounds reasonable [23:25] !notunity| p014k [23:25] p014k: 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 [23:25] thanks again [23:25] p014k, i suggest giving unity anothe rtry. or try gnome0-shell - the classic gnome fallback stuff is well just fallback. ;) it may vanish in the next release.. (i need to check the beta for that) [23:25] Unity in 12.04 has some very nice features [23:26] audio studio experience 12.04? [23:26] i'm usiong xfce... is nice :) [23:26] I guess I'll stick to 11.04 then. It's LTS. [23:26] Unity in 12.10 is getting some neater features [23:26] 11.04 is lts? i dident think so [23:26] !lts [23:26] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [23:26] !10.04 [23:26] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 - Supported until April 2013 (Desktop), April 2015 (Server) [23:26] is 11.04 still supported? [23:26] !11.04 [23:27] Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1104 [23:27] Oh...10.04 was, not 11.04 [23:27] O well. No big deal. [23:27] Dr_willis, this is horrible; absolutely horrible; Why is unity resizing my windows WTF. I disabled grid, i went back in and I re-enabled it and disabled everything and its still doing it [23:28] HaltingState, no idea. theres a windows-rules plugin. but i think its disabled by default [23:28] p014k 11.04 is supported until october 2012 [23:28] How do i install and run Project64 with wine? [23:28] p014k: Personally, I recommend you look at this as an opportunity to wean yourself from the GUI. Things are wonderful in the console. [23:28] I use the console mostly [23:29] You mwn oct 2013? :) [23:29] I don't like unity because of it's non drop-down style menus [23:29] 14? [23:29] I don't like the stupid mac-style finder buttons, etc. [23:29] No idea what that means p014k ... [23:29] I dont find unity mac like at all.. [23:29] Applications, Places, Systems and shortcuts at the top. Nice Icon bar at the bottom [23:29] and the HUD and Lenses are amazing features. [23:29] 11.04 Natty Narwhal 2011-04-28 2012-10 [23:29] Unity doesn't have that. As far as I know. [23:30] How do i install and run Project64 with wine? [23:30] hi, can someone explain why i can see my wifi in lsmod but not in iwconfig? [23:30] You can add a indicator applet to get those menus back.. [23:30] anyone know about mixxx with 12.04 [23:30] wolfgang_ sure there's no linux equivalent? [23:30] Indicator applet....Where do I find this? [23:30] brb, let me log into unity [23:30] MonkeyDust, mupen64plus but it realy sucks [23:30] trying to update the system i get the following error message: Can not upgrade [23:30] An upgrade from 'precise' to 'oneiric' is not supported with this tool. [23:31] what should I do? [23:31] p014k, ASKUBUNTU.COM has a huge list of them - theres several 'classic gnome menu' applets for Unity [23:31] MonkeyDust, i finally got it working but cant config my controller [23:32] To anyone who can help, I am trying to set up the scanning driver for a canon pixma mx432 all in one printer on Ubuntu 12.04 but I can't get the scanner to work. [23:33] MonkeyDust, any idea how? === Garrett is now known as Guest1815 [23:33] wolfgang_ never heard of it, don't know what it does [23:33] Does anyone know of a scanner driver for this model [23:33] retracNayr, canon is known for very poorly supporting ubuntu. You could check the forums and askubuntu.com and the SANE homepage to see if its supported at all. [23:34] MonkeyDust, Project64? [23:34] Does anyone else know? [23:35] How do i install and run project64 with wine? [23:35] Dr_willis, it is my mothers printer and computer. she said she looked up the model on the internet and it clamed to be supported. I was able to get the printer driver and get it working but i have had no luck with the scanner [23:35] !appdb | wolfgang_ [23:35] wolfgang_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [23:35] wolfgang_, check the db then join #winehq for app help [23:36] bazhang ok [23:37] hi, can someone explain to me why i can see my wifi card in lsmod but not in iwconfig? [23:37] retracNayr, possible she read that the 'printer' was supported. Not the scanner part. Id say check the forums, askubuntu.,com and the sane homepage. You are Lucky the printer works. :) I gave away my last (and only one i will ever buy) canon printer. [23:37] So, is anyone willing to help me dual boot 12.04 on my new windows 7 machine? [23:37] Gunni, lsmod just shows loaded modules. chedk dmesg output to see if any errors show up> [23:38] Dr_willis, Thanks I will try that [23:38] I've screwed it up beyond belief twice now [23:38] Garrett93, easiest way is to have 2 hard drives. :) [23:38] Garrett93 that's called 'trial and error' [23:38] best way is to load ubuntu and forget windows [23:38] or a external USB flash/HD. :P [23:39] I'd like to do it with partitions, but not having any luck [23:39] Hi everyone. :) === Lazik is now known as Guest28540 [23:39] Garrett93, so whats your partition layout? [23:39] I've managed to reformat (accidently) the windows partitions twice now [23:39] Garrett93: what went wrong? [23:39] hello [23:40] Time to learn how to partion a Hard drive via Gparted It seems... [23:40] Garrett93: then windows is gone anyway. am i wrong? [23:40] why is freenode saying i'm unregistered.. I am registered and logged in >.< [23:40] Well, the manufacturer, HP, has set up 4 partitions for windows [23:40] I have recovered windows using restore disks [23:40] Garrett93, since you have disks. You can delete the restore partitions.. [23:41] gartral: ask the folks in #freenode [23:41] then resize the windows install. then install to the unalocated space [23:41] Garrett93 and create an extended partition with logical partition inside [23:41] hello all, I'm playing around with various live distros today and I'd like too know how too manually mount an encrypted home on my Ubuntu partition from other OSes.. [23:42] gartral, u mean from windows or from linux? [23:42] hm. Let me try this. I shall delete the recovery partition, via windows' diskmgmt.msc [23:43] romy420: I don't have a windows computer.. so, linux :) [23:43] Dr_willis you are right, i see a firmware error [23:44] Dr_willis imma pastebin dmesg output [23:44] you need to install the firmware/drivers for the wirelwws card Gunni i imagne [23:45] gartral: here is a way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory/#Live_CD_method_of_opening_a_encrypted_home_directory [23:45] MonkeyDust, can you expand on the extended and logical partition thing [23:46] Dr_willis http://pastebin.com/FzkZhEyX [23:46] I tried to upgrade to the stable release and had a crash and now when im trying to upgrade i get this error: [23:46] An upgrade from 'precise' to 'oneiric' is not supported with this tool [23:48] aeiaya: Why didn't you upgrade to 12.04 [23:48] Garrett93 certainly.... create an extended partition of 200GB or, big enough... inside that, you can create logical partitions.... without extended partition, you can create only 4 partitions.... now go back to the beginning of this line and read again, if it is not clear, just say so [23:48] ? [23:48] usr it crashed during upgrade [23:49] how do I set a users password to nothing? [23:49] aeiaya: It crased during upgrade from ________ to _________ ? [23:49] Dr_willis okay so the firmware isn't there, any idea on the pakage i need to install the firmware? [23:49] Thanks, so, I have 200gigs unallocated in windows, and the option I see to create a partition from that is "new simple volume", can I create the extended partition with that feature? [23:50] from 11.10 to 12 something [23:50] christopherbull: passwd -a ... I think ? [23:50] Garrett93 example.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1112907/ [23:50] christopherbull: no that's it not. passwd -d it looks like. just do passwd -h [23:50] aeiaya: What did you have installed when you started? What do you have now? lsb_release -r [23:51] Garrett93 'unallocated in windows' sounds strange to me [23:51] .j #hexchat [23:51] beandog: thanks, i've done that, ssh still won't let the user in - it prompts for a password then when I just press enter it says denied, is there something I need to setup on the ssh side as well? [23:51] fuck [23:51] meaning unallocated space on the hard drive, space not allocated to a partition [23:51] Katelyn: Do you have a question? [23:52] usr13: not at the moment, no [23:52] christopherbull: dunno. If you're trying to do passwordless logins remotely though, use an ssh pub key with no passphrase [23:52] Garrett93 correct, you can create partitions on that space [23:52] usr13, now i have 11.10 [23:53] aeiaya: what does lsb_release -r return? [23:53] help me pls [23:53] Right, the only option I see to create a partition is New simple volume [23:53] ^Mmandel@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -r [23:53] Release: 11.10 [23:53] Can I create the extended partition with that command [23:53] beandog: yeah that's what I'm trying to setup, but I want this user to have no password so that it doesn't get prompted when sudoing for config scripts [23:53] Garrett93 use gparted, it's easier [23:53] Is anyone here able to assist me with my problem? I can't boot up anymore and I'm stuck in grub [23:53] christopherbull: oh, well you can do that in sudo then [23:53] meaning boot ubuntu from the disk, right [23:53] christopherbull: you can setup sudo to not require a password [23:53] Garrett93 or, if you're familiar with the cli, use fdisk [23:53] aeiaya: Ok, first do this: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get -f install [23:54] beandog: oh really? cool, didn't know what [23:54] *that [23:54] beandog: is that in visudo? [23:54] christopherbull: oh yah. do you want it for just one user or what [23:54] hows does winscp without root [23:54] beandog: just one user [23:54] usr13, i get this error when I try the first one: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:54] Garret93, just install and there will come a menu where u can choose the type of partition ... that's gparted then [23:54] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [23:54] christopherbull: add username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [23:54] in visudo [23:54] can I do that from within windows or do I boot ubuntu and do it in there [23:54] and that'll work [23:55] Garrett93 boot ubuntu, use gparted, you'll see [23:55] aeiaya: Sounds like you have another application running that uses apt. Look and see. [23:55] Is anyone here able to assist me with my problem? I can't boot up anymore and I'm stuck in grub [23:55] usr13, how [23:55] aeiaya: Do you have the Update Manager open? [23:55] i dont think so [23:55] will boot ubuntu, will take a few minutes, luckly I have another laptop on which I am running this IRC. [23:55] usr13, how do i kill it? [23:56] beandog: like this" add deploy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL"? [23:56] christopherbull: yah [23:56] beandog: great thanks for your help! [23:56] np === Diegosan is now known as WaffleScratch [23:57] beandog: I saved it but it said there's a syntax error? [23:57] christopherbull: oh my bad, remove add [23:57] christopherbull: "deploy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" [23:57] aeiaya: If it is update-manager, you could try: sudo pkill update-manager [23:57] beandog: sweet that was it! [23:57] cool cool [23:57] Is anyone here able to assist me with my problem? I can't boot up anymore and I'm stuck in grub [23:57] aeiaya: But it may leave the lock file if you do. [23:58] usr13, what do i do then? [23:58] aeiaya: ps aux |grep update [23:58] It's booting, I'm completely new to ubuntu as of today, so I do appreciate your patience :3 [23:58] paste the result? [23:59] Xmcwildchild22, what happens when u try to boot? did u download updates beforehand? [23:59] aeiaya: pastebin [23:59] im still not liking the new gnome3 / unity interface [23:59] aeiaya: ps aux |grep update |pastebinit [23:59] usr13, http://pastebin.com/N8rcBni0
