[00:07] quantum: then you have changed your hostname in hostname or hosts and not the other [00:08] ActionParsnip: Is there any command like "history" but to check outputs instead of inputs? or something similar? [00:08] and i had to stop /etc/init.d/hostname.sh and then start it again [00:08] TNk: dmesg may give clues [00:09] hi all [00:09] "ubuntuone" Is there going to help? [00:09] lol [00:09] quantum: if you boot to root recovery mode you wont need sudo so will be free to edit the file [00:10] got it fixed [00:10] nice [00:10] i think it was "hanging" due to the hostname.sh [00:10] How do I create an icon?

It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [00:14] !9.10 [00:14] Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 2009 - Karmic WILL break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [00:14] ActionParsnip: I tried killall -9 pulse audio, then pulseaudio, and alsa reload, but am having the same problem.

[00:16] Tetracomm: you could also try restarting hal [00:16] how can i find out what version of cups-pdf i currently have installed? [00:16] Hoodman2: dpkg -l | grep cups [00:16] Actionparsnip: * Reconfiguring network interfaces... / SIOCDELRT: No such process. I get that Error.

[00:18] Tetracomm, sudo /etc/init.d/hald restart [00:18] Tetracomm: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart [00:18] I'm attempting to install ubuntu. I get to the try ubuntu without any change to your comp, install ubuntu screen I choose which one I want, and then it freezes [00:18] ActionParsnip, what replaced webmin? [00:18] Hoodman2: you can paste to the terminal, its minus ell pipe [00:18] aj_444: how much RAM? [00:18] quantum: ebox, or you can use an ssh terminal [00:18] !fstab [00:18] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [00:18] er.. [00:18] aj_444: oh it's you again [00:19] ell pipe.....? terminal is on other computer [00:19] i need this "perfect server" + samba up in no more than 7 hours [00:19] i've been at it for a week now [00:19] sebsebseb: yup. Uh, it says 256mb. thats what it says in the bios [00:19] aj_444: did you md5 check the iso you downloaded as well as verify the cd once burned? [00:19] aj_444: ok that explains it maybe [00:19] Hoodman2: ell, the letter ell [00:19] Hoodman2: L [00:19] some tutorial suggested webmin and it looked easier than the terminal [00:19] aj_444: altough Ubuntu can boot on 256MB ARM [00:19] RAM [00:19] the price of being lazy [00:19] aj_444: it's 128MB where you got to do something a little special [00:19] quantum: its not compatible with ubuntu [00:20] sebsebseb: okay. hold on. brb. [00:20] ActionParsnip: Still the same problem. [00:20] Tetracomm: i'm not sure then, maybe you need some kernel boot options [00:20] how does that command tell me the version? [00:20] quantum, i'd go with the terminal, better docs, more control [00:21] I have ubuntu working find with 64MB of ram at the moment, just need to use the right wm [00:21] trism: yeah [00:21] Tetracomm: i dont use hibernate for this reason, its a pain in the ass to get it working nice [00:21] Can I have an answer? Someone at a forum had the same problem where their .png s were ignored and he was ignored [00:21] yeah. i know [00:21] its been 5 yrs since i configured a server [00:21] though it was debian-sarge at the time [00:22] how can i find out what version of cups-pdf i currently have installed? [00:22] trism: altough a later Desktop Live CD may not even boot up properly with 128MB RAM, unless a SWAP partition that is say 512MB is already on there. [00:22] Hoodman2: you can see all the packages containing the word cups, you can then read the middle colomn and that will give you the version number [00:22] the earlier command seemed to list locations [00:22] trism: ,but the alternate install would work I think [00:22] damn it, can't even remember how to kill a process [00:22] quantum, killall name [00:22] ..................

(So I can easily install same batch of software on my new box)? [00:23] #grass hi there, are you grass user? [00:23] !clone | october [00:23] october: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [00:23] is there an application to handle gpg passphrases, so that I don't have to enter them in every single time? [00:23] Then I want to associate the icon with a menu item [00:23] •ActionParsnip• that doesent seem to ber the case [00:23] ActionParsnip: :'( Is this an Ubuntu problem? Or Linux problem?

[00:36] aj_444: did you md5sum the ISO for desktop though? [00:36] quantum: and type my name at the start of each line [00:36] sebsebseb: is there a different distro I could use? [00:37] ActionParsnip, you're right [00:37] aj_444: there are two that are specifically made for older hardware [00:37] ActionParsnip, sorry [00:37] aj_444: http://distrowatch.com/ [00:37] ipatrol, ok will file a bug about that, its confusing [00:37] sebsebseb: what are those?

[00:38] quantum: add sudo to the start of the command [00:38] *wlan0 (Typo) [00:38] sebsebseb: I'd have to install a torrent, which I'm not interested in doing. [00:38] aj_444: Damn Small Linux and there's Puppy Linux plus many versions of it, Puppy being the better of the two [00:38] tNKz: sounds like a plan [00:38] sebsebseb: mmkay. I'll check those out. do they have support forums like this? [00:38] ipatrol, as in you can't see it in the dialogue box, but after you click open [00:38] ActionParsnip, i feel stupid [00:38] aj_444: I said to do those as option three [00:38] aj_444: theres also slitaz which is pretty decent [00:38] trothigar: Never mind, you need to double click the icon [00:38] ActionParsnip, and now she runs :) [00:38] aj_444: if opton one or two won't work, and Ubuntu has better support [00:38] ActionParsnip: Trial by fire, partner. I'll do a shutdown -r and let you know if it works. [00:39] tNKz: best way to learn [00:39] trothigar: Yeah, file a bug, that is confusing [00:39] aj_444: Ubuntu has much better support [00:39] for option one, I'd have to install a torrent. Option two, I have no idea how to do.

Unplugged and it'll fall back to default ; asking for passphrase. So far, I have created a keyfile, placed it on USB. And I'm editing crypttab + fstab. Am I doing right so far? When it boot up, it still asked for the password and I see "sda2_crypt: keyfile not found" in boot process. This is for people with novi [00:49] ce knowledge, I believe. Any suggestion?

[00:53] in certain websites they are selling as high as 3 Gb I was like WTF? [00:54] shamm: well yes [00:54] shamm: ,but some computers that have a 64bit proccessor come with 2GB RAM [00:54] shamm: 2^64 addresses is about ten trillion times larger, i.e., ten billion times more headroom than the 2^32 case. [00:54] I plan to set up 2 "Servers" in one hardware [00:54] ActionParsnip, true [00:54] shamm: apparnatly that's not true, that need 4GB RAM to get 64bit advantages [00:54] root5_: wikipedia true ;) [00:55] http://www.zareason.com/shop/product.php?productid=16208&cat=252&page=1\ [00:55] shamm: at least 4GB RAM above [00:55] s/page=1/\/page=1/ [00:55] sebsebseb: why does my soc am2 board only support 2gb ram then?

[00:55] 32bits processors *can* address more than 4Go Rams [00:55] sebsebseb: oh you were quashing what shamm said, my bad [00:56] ActionParsnip: I am saying 64bit can still be good on 2GB RAM, even though a lot of people say that people should really have at least 4GB RAM for 64bit [00:56] Anyone here familiar with whole hard disk LVM encryption? [00:56] they can use 2 registers to hold the 64bit address [00:56] root5_: true, with PAE [00:56] genii, do you know how to make a title sequence with ffmpeg?

[01:00] How do i disable the display check on start up so i can run Ubutnu without a monitor attached? [01:00] ActionParsnip, ok thanks [01:00] erika1984: yes already got on the website [01:00] ok, I need your advice: I'm going to run ubuntu x64 and Windows 2003 (or 2008) standard server on one machine -- for optimial performance, what hardware should I use? [01:00] stefg, perhaps i chose the wrong solution. I want to encrypt the drive so that it can't be booted off another system and its contents read.. however, its a server so there are background servers that need to start up in case of a power failure [01:01] its similar to to beos [01:01] genii, i join them with avidemux, but my title only lasts one frame....does that make any sence? [01:01] erika1984 ActionParsnip well thanks for those I like my vm's so i'll vm them, in the day maybe, however this stuff is off topic for this channal by the way [01:01] shamm: lots of ram, high cpu and multiple CPU, SCSI HDDs with lots of cache on the controller [01:01] Basically if the bootloader on the harddrive boots.. boot decrypted [01:01] How do i disable the display check on start up so i can run Ubutnu without a monitor attached? [01:01] if the drive is slaved.. stay encrypted [01:01] ActionParsnip: do you know of a server on market out there? [01:01] ricardoftjunior: did you md5 check the iso? [01:02] deebo1: booting without password is not possible. Physical proteczion for your disks has to be guaranteed by the datacenter in which the server is located [01:02] shamm: many, check computer retailers. they will sell server systems too [01:02] ActionParsnip, do i have to sudo make? [01:02] * shamm checks Bestbuy out [01:02] ;P [01:02] quantum: as long as youu have write acccess where the souce is, no [01:02] Can someone help me make it so Ubuntu does not need a display to start up?!?! [01:02] quantum: you'll need it for make install though [01:03] i'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 using microsoft virtual pc but i cannot even start the installation. can anybody help me, please? [01:03] ActionParsnip, so i figured [01:03] ricardoftjunior: Micrsooft VirtualPC :( [01:03] zigi: rtemove gdm from the autostart services [01:03] ActionParsnip, i should really run things a couple of times before i come crying to you :) [01:03] stefg: will i still have a gui? [01:03] ricardoftjunior: one more time, did you md5 check the iso file you downloaded? [01:03] ricardoftjunior: as far as I know it's really only been made to properly work with versions of Windows, why not use Virtualbox for example, or VMware instead? [01:04] I using an original CD [01:04] Ricardoftjunior use wubi [01:04] Much easier [01:04] zigi: no.... what use has a gui in headless mode? [01:04] ricardoftjunior: make sure MS VM uses a real cd/dvd drive to boot from, you might need to change the VM bios boot sequence [01:04] ricardoftjunior: ok, does the cd test ok? [01:04] stefg:to vnc into it [01:04] i just received this week [01:04] zigi: you can have a VNC servr and have remote gui [01:04] ActionParsnip: I wanted to say that I still hadn't tried BEOS, but they left, I assume you have used that one as well [01:04] Is there a way to edit /etc/network/interfaces so that my computer gets a dhcp renew more often? [01:04] ricardoftjunior: i dont care, test the cd for consistancy [01:04] stefg:i dont want a remote gui, [01:04] ricardo: Microsoft Virtual PC usually is bad with linux distribution and i've had problems just like yours [01:04] i gotta jet [01:04] stefg:i just dont want it to check the display [01:05] i opened a port with port forwarding but it still says its closed on port checkers [01:05] and deluge [01:05] ricardo: download virtualbox (free) and then go ahead and run your VMs in there. It is a great product [01:05] ok, i'll try this one [01:05] pdtpatrick: yeah well Desktop Linux is there only true threat, Apple aren't a real threat [01:05] i see.. ok.. well on our windows computers at work we use a program called psynch which will let the computer boot with an encrypted hardrive.. but if the drive is removed and slaved, then it has to be decrypted [01:05] thanks... [01:06] zigi: so set up a /etc/X11/xorg.conf. that will override the attempts to identify an attached monitor [01:06] pdtpatrick: yeah and Google is a real threat/competition when it comes to certain stuff [01:06] stefg:k [01:06] stefg:i will try that [01:06] whats the best torrent manager?
