| sri_barence | nikolam: sorry, i tried the suspend debugging process recommended at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| sri_barence | It disabled my wireless card! | 00:04 |
| === BlackWolf is now known as BlackWolf90 | ||
| nikolam | sri_barence, why would you do that. I just told you to install fglrx driver from ati site to enable suspend/resume working.. | 00:19 |
| nikolam | what ati card/chip do you use? | 00:19 |
| sri_barence | ATI Radeon Xpress 200M | 00:20 |
| nikolam | That is the same as Xpress 1150 | 00:22 |
| nikolam | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpress_200#Radeon_Xpress_200M | 00:22 |
| sri_barence | It looks like I have the Catalyst 8.54 driver. | 00:23 |
| nikolam | There is Xpress 200 on http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html | 00:23 |
| nikolam | 8.54 is ok. But you could upgrade to eather 8.9 or 8.12 and suspend/resume will work | 00:24 |
| nikolam | I use x1250 myself | 00:24 |
| sri_barence | "Later renamed as Radeon Xpress 1150 for AMD notebooks" | 00:25 |
| nikolam | just download 8.12 and see istructions depending on your ubuntu version | 00:27 |
| nikolam | http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html | 00:27 |
| nikolam | sh ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/intrepid (Or hardy) | 00:28 |
| nikolam | amd then install deb`s you have it here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu | 00:29 |
| nikolam | You might go to #ati channel for support for fglrx driver. | 00:29 |
| sri_barence | If I understand correctly, the installer will make a deb with that command? | 00:34 |
| sri_barence | And then I can install with 'dpkg -i'? | 00:34 |
| nikolam | sri_barence, Yes, that is the point. So you can use other version if you want if that does not work for you | 00:37 |
| nikolam | I suggest you intall 8.9 version, I used it nicely. Avoid 8.10 and 8.11 . 8.12 works, too | 00:38 |
| sri_barence | no caps on 'intrepid'? | 00:39 |
| nikolam | no | 00:39 |
| nikolam | it is command line switch | 00:39 |
| sri_barence | ok. I'm going for 8.12 | 00:39 |
| nikolam | good luck. And for fglrx, go to #ati channel | 00:39 |
| sri_barence | so "Ubuntu/intrepid" | 00:40 |
| sri_barence | should I uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx first | 00:40 |
| nikolam | Ok, go to #ati for further Proprietary driver support. | 00:42 |
| sri_barence | OK. I'm running the experiment now... | 00:46 |
| sri_barence | nikolam: still here? | 03:09 |

| tangentcollision | how do I check what driver I have for my wlan card? | 05:26 |
| tangentcollision | because if I have ath5k, I'd like to install madwifi-ng | 05:27 |
| ball | tangentcollision: dmesg? | 05:27 |
| tangentcollision | oh, nevermind | 05:28 |
| tangentcollision | airmon-ng told me :P | 05:29 |
| ball | ok | 05:36 |
| tangentcollision | alright, that settles my problem | 05:36 |
| tangentcollision | now I have another | 05:37 |
| tangentcollision | how do I unmount the main partition so I can split it? | 05:38 |
| ball | the / partition? | 05:39 |
| ball | I imagine you'd have to boot single-user to do that, if it's possible. | 05:39 |
| ball | ...or boot from a liveCD, then / from your hard disk isn't automatically mounted (I hope!) | 05:42 |
| tangentcollision | :P | 05:49 |
| tangentcollision | great | 05:50 |
| tangentcollision | I'm on eeexubuntu... | 05:50 |
| tangentcollision | and I don't know, it won't mount correctly any of my thumb drive media :P | 05:50 |
| ball | I would love an Eeebox, but I can't afford one. | 05:50 |
| ball | ...and I think the CPU lacks one or two features that I would like. | 05:52 |
| ball | Give it time, someone will build the machine I want. | 05:52 |
| tangentcollision | lol | 05:53 |
| tangentcollision | an eeepc is a great thing | 05:53 |
| ball | ...might even be me. | 05:53 |
| tangentcollision | I have a platapus bag | 05:53 |
| tangentcollision | and it fits perfectly under my hoodie | 05:53 |
| ball | EeePC would be nice, but I was looking mostly at desktops | 05:53 |
| tangentcollision | well, eeexubuntu is for...eeepc... | 05:54 |
| ball | oh | 05:54 |
| ball | Did they fix the dialogue boxes to fit the screen then? | 05:54 |
| tangentcollision | not really | 05:55 |
| tangentcollision | it's a tiny screen with a stupid res | 05:55 |
| tangentcollision | but I don't really car | 05:55 |
| tangentcollision | e | 05:55 |
| tangentcollision | it lets me audit my company's security occasionally | 05:55 |
| tangentcollision | whether they want me to or not | 05:55 |
| ball | I bypassed ours on the first day I was there. | 05:56 |
| tangentcollision | lol | 05:56 |
| tangentcollision | pretty much ditto | 05:56 |
| ball | had too really, how can I be a Web developer with no access to the Web?! | 05:56 |
| tangentcollision | well, I sit in the server room and make sure there's an ambiguous amount of security | 05:57 |
| tangentcollision | so I shut down people's iphones :P | 05:57 |
| ball | Do you wear a fleece all day? | 05:57 |
| tangentcollision | I wear my hoodie all day | 05:57 |
| tangentcollision | did ... | 05:57 |
| tangentcollision | I got laid off | 05:58 |
| tangentcollision | I wish I could take the off part out | 05:58 |
| ball | I got laid off too. | 05:58 |
| ball | Work three days a week at my internship site, but I hate it. | 05:58 |
| tangentcollision | ever heard of applied software? | 05:58 |
| tangentcollision | they do autocad | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | they picked me up out of highschool and put me on the security team | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | and I fixed their crap | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | and maintained it | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | then laid me off | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | and I took my security with me | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | I might as well not have been there :P | 05:59 |
| tangentcollision | I'll see if backtrack3 will partition for me | 06:01 |
| tangentcollision | hmm | 06:35 |
| tangentcollision | something is just f'ing wrong with this install of xubuntu | 06:35 |
| tangentcollision | I can't edit my partitions | 06:35 |
| ball | that's normal | 06:53 |
| ball | afaik | 06:53 |
| ball | tangentcollision: why are you trying to split / | 06:54 |
| ball | ? | 06:54 |
| tangentcollision | I'm trying to get an extra 1gb partition in there so I can boot backtrack3 from it | 06:54 |
| ball | what is backtrack3? | 06:55 |
| tangentcollision | backtrack 3 is a security auditing tool | 06:55 |
| ball | ...and it needs its own partition? | 06:56 |
| ball | Wierd. | 06:56 |
| tangentcollision | well | 06:57 |
| tangentcollision | I can't get grub to use it :P | 06:57 |
| tangentcollision | it only comes in live kernel | 06:57 |
| tangentcollision | and it uses a lilo loader | 06:57 |
| ball | Ah, so you want to put lilo in backtrack partition's boot record and then have grub chain lilo? | 06:58 |
| tangentcollision | yeah | 06:58 |
| tangentcollision | the live kernel uses the lilo loader, I can't really seperate it | 06:59 |
| tangentcollision | so, I'm thinking I can just point it to the partition and do chainloader +1 | 06:59 |
| tangentcollision | and let it rip | 06:59 |
| tangentcollision | hup | 06:59 |
| tangentcollision | I think it's doing it | 06:59 |
| tangentcollision | go gparted, goooo | 07:00 |
| tangentcollision | I know you can do it! | 07:00 |
| tangentcollision | if nothing else, I can just reinstall eeexubuntu and tell it not to use everything on that drive | 07:00 |
| ball | If it's any consolation, my garbage is blowing down the street. | 07:01 |
| tangentcollision | (it uses an sdhc card, 16gb) | 07:01 |
| tangentcollision | hey, it shrunk my crap! | 07:02 |
| tangentcollision | yay | 07:02 |
| tangentcollision | now I can NOT run off the livecd installation thingy from usb1.0 stick | 07:06 |

| admalledd | hello, i am trying to route a port thorough my (new) server to my other computer and was wondering how? google wasnt of much help. all of this must be done through ssh (i have x forwarding). the setup is as follows: internet-->router(cant change fowarded ports here)-->server(192.168.1.12)-->data box(192.168.1.13#21) | 08:55 |
| admalledd | **-->data box(192.168.1.13:21) | 08:55 |
| ablomen | why cant you change ports on the router if i might ask? | 09:01 |
| ablomen | (and btw, port 21 is used by ftp, should be 22 or a different, not commonly used port) | 09:02 |
| admalledd | because of the number of people, each person can only have 5 ports, and to one comp. (admin doesnt want more than 15 ports open) | 09:03 |
| ablomen | ah ok, well you might want too look at iptables | 09:03 |
| admalledd | well, 21 80 and 1980 ,1981 ,1982 are my ports | 09:03 |
| ablomen | i think you can achieve what you want with that | 09:03 |
| admalledd | ok, but i thought modifying iptables while in ssh would break connection? | 09:04 |
| ablomen | ehm yeah it might | 09:04 |
| admalledd | do i just not worry and reconnect? | 09:05 |
| admalledd | because pulling server out of wall is a pain | 09:05 |
| ablomen | i must say i dont have too much experience with iptables, so i really wouldnt know | 09:06 |
| admalledd | meh, google will now be my friend. :) | 09:06 |
| admalledd | ill be back if i cant figure it out by tommorow | 09:06 |
| admalledd | thx all! | 09:06 |
| ablomen | but i dont see another good way too do it, exept maybe just ssh-ing into the server and then into the box itself | 09:06 |
| ablomen | ah | 09:07 |
| ablomen | ok | 09:07 |

| crazygir | I really don't understand this.. but I am *still* having issues trying to install xubuntu | 17:03 |
| crazygir | I've tried different cds, cd media (cdr/cdrw), burners, readers, systems (to install on), isos, mirrors, etc | 17:04 |
| crazygir | all have had errors, different errors, but all of them have errors.. | 17:04 |
| crazygir | any suggestions? I've gone this far because I'd rather use xubuntu than any of the kde/gnome variants | 17:05 |
| romanov_ | crazygir -> I had the same problem try to burn you cd with low speed | 17:13 |
| crazygir | 4x is pretty low :P | 17:16 |
| crazygir | romanov_: ^ | 17:17 |
| romanov_ | :) | 17:17 |
| crazygir | I have heard that errors are common, I've also talked to people that "have had no problems" | 17:19 |
| crazygir | so I really don't know what to think | 17:19 |
| romanov_ | I gess your downloaded version is not ok ? check it in the startind of the livecd ... try again | 17:20 |
| crazygir | I have yet to have *any* problems with these burners, media, or systems, wrt downloading isos and trying installs | 17:20 |
| crazygir | romanov_: I've tried a number of different isos (including desktop/alternate) from various mirrors | 17:20 |
| crazygir | *all* have had some problem | 17:20 |
| romanov_ | humm | 17:20 |
| crazygir | not the same problems, but all have had some issue that prevents me from installing | 17:20 |
| crazygir | the farthest that I got was starting to install packages | 17:21 |
| crazygir | but then ran into corrupt .debs | 17:21 |
| sinbox | weird | 17:22 |
| crazygir | yea | 17:22 |
| crazygir | it makes me want to scream :P | 17:22 |
| romanov_ | strange ... maybe your harddisk is not ok ? | 17:23 |
| crazygir | romanov_: ? | 17:23 |
| crazygir | I've tried 3 different systems anyway | 17:24 |
| crazygir | 2 different ones to create the install cd, 2 different ones to install | 17:24 |
| romanov_ | you mean that ubuntu / kubuntu install correctly | 17:25 |
| crazygir | no, I haven't tried (though I'm downloading a ubuntu iso right now) | 17:26 |
| crazygir | I don't really want k/ubuntu | 17:26 |
| crazygir | hence trying xubuntu :) | 17:26 |
| romanov_ | yeah me too | 17:26 |
| crazygir | I'm trying *another* cdrw, brand new | 17:27 |

| sam__ | chaps, my resolution isn't listed in nvidia-settings - lcd doesn't seem to get detected properly - how can I add the correct rez? | 17:27 |
| crazygir | which gave me an I/O error: error reading boot cd | 17:28 |
| crazygir | nah, us | 17:28 |
| sam__ | it's like it ignores xorg.conf | 17:28 |
| * sam__ continues googling | 17:28 | |
| crazygir | sam__: do you have it set, explicitly in xorg.conf? | 17:28 |
| sam__ | the conf is generic | 17:29 |
| crazygir | so try setting it explicitly | 17:29 |
| sam__ | but the optimum rez in nvidia console isn't listed | 17:29 |
| crazygir | so what | 17:29 |
| crazygir | define *your* optimum resolution for xorg | 17:29 |
| crazygir | screw the nvidia console | 17:29 |
| sam__ | that's what I thought, but it seems the nvidia settings take precedence | 17:30 |
| crazygir | it doesn't appear to know what you need | 17:30 |
| sam__ | I need 1280x768 | 17:30 |
| crazygir | so don't use the nvidia settings | 17:30 |
| crazygir | disable them. | 17:30 |
| sam__ | the xfce rez settings seem useless | 17:30 |
| sam__ | offering only 800x600 | 17:30 |
| crazygir | sam__: SET it EXPLICITLY, yourself, in xorg.conf | 17:30 |
| * sam__ disables nvidia driver | 17:30 | |
| sam__ | is there a sample xorg.conf anywhere? | 17:31 |
| crazygir | on your system? | 17:31 |
| crazygir | on the interwebz :) | 17:31 |
| sam__ | the web isn't helping, it all seems to amazingly complicated | 17:31 |
| sam__ | not sure of the syntax | 17:31 |
| crazygir | sam__: man | 17:31 |
| crazygir | sam__: you have an xorg.conf to use | 17:31 |
| crazygir | just trim down the resolution settings | 17:31 |
| sam__ | yes, it's got little in it | 17:31 |
| sam__ | doesn't even list resolutions | 17:31 |
| crazygir | educate yourself. | 17:31 |
| crazygir | man, google. | 17:32 |
| sam__ | have been, time consuming | 17:32 |
| sam__ | not feeling I'm getting anywhere | 17:32 |
| crazygir | it's time well-spent | 17:32 |
| sam__ | feel like I have to reinvent the wheel | 17:32 |
| crazygir | you are if you are learning :) | 17:32 |
| crazygir | nope | 17:32 |
| crazygir | the wheel has already been invented | 17:32 |
| sam__ | I'll bleed over it for a little longer then | 17:33 |
| crazygir | :) | 17:33 |
| crazygir | look at *real* xorg confs | 17:33 |
| crazygir | not what ubuntu has | 17:33 |
| crazygir | look at the man page | 17:33 |
| sam__ | right | 17:33 |
| crazygir | and see if others have similar problem | 17:33 |
| crazygir | *s | 17:33 |
| charlie-tca | https://help.ubuntu.com/ and type in xorg.conf in the upper right search box | 17:33 |
| sinbox | if you're gonna play wiotrh xorg.conf back it up first though sam__ :) also this may help (or not): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 17:35 |
| sam__ | yes, I'm backing it up each time | 17:35 |
| crazygir | you should *always* make a copy of a conf when making changes | 17:35 |
| sam__ | I think the problem is that my lcd isn't detected | 17:35 |
| crazygir | using a rc setup is even better | 17:35 |
| crazygir | sam__: that's ok | 17:36 |
| crazygir | if you know the correct res and syncs, you can set it yourself | 17:36 |
| crazygir | sam__: #xorg (or whatever it is) might help too | 17:36 |
| sam__ | great, thanks | 17:36 |
| crazygir | hmm... getting a little further in the install than before.. actually have the gui this time | 17:37 |
| sinbox | where woudl you go look for the res and syncs for a particualr monitor model? | 17:37 |
| crazygir | maybe those isos don't like disk at once.. | 17:37 |
| crazygir | sinbox: your lcd manual | 17:37 |
| crazygir | lcds have a "happy" res/sync | 17:37 |
| sinbox | well, I would if I had a manual for it crazygir :0, which I guess leaves me the manufacturer's website and hoping they have a decnet support past to their site then | 17:38 |
| crazygir | yes | 17:38 |
| crazygir | or google | 17:38 |
| crazygir | :) | 17:38 |
| crazygir | w00t I have a gui installer | 17:39 |
| crazygir | I really don't get this.. | 17:40 |
| crazygir | maybe there should be iso burning instructions on the official website? | 17:43 |
| crazygir | given that dao doesn't produce a working iso | 17:43 |
| crazygir | err.. working cd | 17:43 |
| crazygir | or maybe the iso creation process should play nice with dao | 17:44 |
| charlie-tca | You mean like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto , crazygir ? | 17:45 |
| crazygir | on the xubuntu site | 17:45 |
| crazygir | like, right next to where you get info on downloading the iso | 17:45 |
| charlie-tca | Good point! I can bring that up to the website guys. | 17:46 |
| crazygir | and still, there is nothing in there about dao or sao | 17:46 |
| charlie-tca | Maybe they don´t work? | 17:47 |
| crazygir | I had to use sao (not dao) to get this to work | 17:47 |
| crazygir | if that is in fact true, that should be documented | 17:47 |
| charlie-tca | I would think following what is documented would work. | 17:49 |
| crazygir | charlie-tca: that is what I'm saying, there is no mention of sao or dao | 17:49 |
| charlie-tca | But there is makeiso | 17:49 |
| charlie-tca | mkisofs , rather | 17:50 |
| crazygir | I'm not going to argue. this should be verified and documented | 17:50 |
| charlie-tca | if you are using the command line | 17:50 |
| crazygir | I did this in windows | 17:50 |
| crazygir | using an application comparable to infraread | 17:50 |
| crazygir | errr.. infrarecorder | 17:50 |
| crazygir | there really is no difference | 17:52 |
| dj_bushido | can anyone help me with a grub problem??? | 18:03 |

| Odd-rationale | mojo: tried running alsamixer and making sure the master and pcm mixer are not muted and up? | 18:48 |
| Odd-rationale | !sound | 18:48 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 18:48 |
| mojo | Odd-rationale: ola, it is not muted | 18:49 |
| Odd-rationale | mojo: hmmm... dunno... try looking through the wiki page... | 18:49 |
