| IdleOne | GingerKid: change your pass and use the server window in the future :) | 00:00 |
| t0s | lol | 00:00 |
| GingerKid | Idle, I realized my mistake. | 00:00 |
| superdome | look guys if ubuntoo gonna be so great, how cum windows 7 is gunna be butter? | 00:00 |
| bitmonk | you clearly lack wisdom as to how to solve this problem on your own. you can get upset with me, or you could scream at the otherwise silence on your question. ;) | 00:00 |
| GingerKid | How do I change it? | 00:00 |
| bitmonk | superdome: you're right. go and be happy. | 00:00 |
| IdleOne | GingerKid: /msg nickserv help | 00:00 |
| superdome | asking a questin bitmonk | 00:01 |
| t0s | if i have a 64bit processor but only 3gb memory is it best to stick with 32bit or use 64bit ubuntu? | 00:01 |
| IdleOne | superdome: ask in ##windows | 00:01 |
| bitmonk | superdome: honestly, i would say this: windows is half acceptable about one out of every seven years. in that year they usually gain a lot of support of tech minded folks, then, you are screwed, and you have absolutely no ability to improve upon their failures. if canonical mess up, you can rebuild the deb. ;) | 00:01 |
| superdome | no such version of windows IdleOne | 00:01 |
| KaiForce | superdome: both will handle 3GB fine | 00:01 |
| KaiForce | sorry t0s | 00:02 |
| xadart | Hi, I'm having problems installing ubuntu. I get anywhere from 20% to 55% and it crashes. Has anyone heard of this problem? | 00:02 |
| GingerKid | Okay, so basically I'm unable to manually eject DVDs recently. I have to do it from my desktop because the button on the drive doesn't do anything. I'm also unable to rip DVDs. Can someone help? | 00:02 |
| superdome | bitmok, what is canonical | 00:02 |
| t0s | ok thanks KaiForce | 00:02 |
| IdleOne | !ot | 00:02 |
| bitmonk | the people who make ubuntu, superdome ;) | 00:02 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:02 |
| bitmonk | well, the company - there are surely people helping that aren't part of the company.. | 00:02 |
| KaiForce | GingerKid that is a hardware problem, straighten a paperclip and poke it in that tiny hole in the front of your drive to manually open it | 00:03 |
| maco | superdome: canonical is the company that funds ubuntu development and sells support contracts for ubuntu | 00:03 |
| superdome | people heping 4 free bitmonk? | 00:03 |
| maco | superdome: and negotiate with hardware vendors like dell & hp to get ubuntu on their hardware | 00:03 |
| bitmonk | (and employs a lot of developers that do stuff not already done for them by debian) | 00:03 |
| bitmonk | (and maybe some debian people?) | 00:03 |
| resno_ | i am looking to do a network boot to a diskless computer. i want to use pxe, is there a way to setup a usb drive to initiate the connection? | 00:03 |
| maco | i'm pretty sure the majority of ubuntu developers do not work for canonical | 00:04 |
| bitmonk | resno_: pxe is done by your bios, you shouldn't need a usb system for it.. | 00:04 |
| GingerKid | KaiForce, your suggestion doesn't work. | 00:04 |
| bitmonk | bios or network adapter, often one and same ish these days.. | 00:04 |
| superdome | how do they ern $ maco | 00:04 |
| maco | superdome, bitmonk: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers this is how one becomes an ubuntu developer. as you can see, it is open to the public | 00:04 |
| WanHouse | bitmonk: thats Ubuntu ? | 00:04 |
| KaiForce | GingerKid: more info than "doesn't work" might help me understand you | 00:04 |
| bitmonk | i simply meant, a lot of people responsible obviously i slightly overspoke.. | 00:04 |
| superdome | maco, so cud i be 1? | 00:05 |
| GingerKid | I put the paperclip in and it still doesn't eject. | 00:05 |
| GingerKid | However, if I simply eject from the desktop, it ejects. | 00:05 |
| resno_ | bitmonk: well, i am trying to get it setup. i know i have to configure the server to handle dhcp, currently I have a router to do it, and am not sure if I want to reconfigure the network. | 00:05 |
| KaiForce | do you feel any resistance on the paperclip? | 00:05 |
| maco | superdome: canonical earns money selling tech support contracts. of course you could become a developer! i'm applying for developer status next month | 00:05 |
| GingerKid | Oh, great. | 00:05 |
| GingerKid | I screwed something up. | 00:05 |
| maco | superdome: if youre wondering how devs earn money... well, day jobs :) ubuntu is what i do in my spare time | 00:05 |
| bitmonk | resno_: you should be careful about using pxe on a widespread network. in the past, when i've seen it used, it was a private provisioning network connected only to some switches on build stations.. | 00:05 |
| superdome | maco, what if im a developer & i don even know it? | 00:05 |
| bitmonk | you set up at a build station, pxe boot to install, then plug into the real network. | 00:06 |
| WanHouse | bitmonk: There are way many more outside coders that do their thing. I just got unemployed, maybe i can code some after christmas eve or later on the next year ? | 00:06 |
| maco | superdome: just check out that wiki page | 00:06 |
| resno_ | bitmonk: this is a closed network. i plan to setup myth on it, so the computer in the living room is quiter | 00:06 |
| nerdy_kid | can only access my ftp server through sftp have been trying for months to fix this please help | 00:06 |
| bitmonk | if a home network you dont need to be so advanced, for sure, but you will need to reconfigure it to use dhcp to use pxe.. there is no static pxe configuration i know off.. | 00:06 |
| bitmonk | of.. | 00:07 |
| KaiForce | nerdy_kid: can you re-explain your issue? | 00:07 |
| resno_ | bitmonk: i should deactivate my routers dhcp and configure the "server" to do it? | 00:07 |
| nerdy_kid | KiaForce thanks for helping, i set up an ftp server (wu-ftpd) and i can only access it (from outside LAN) via the sftp client instead of the ftp client like i need | 00:08 |
| KaiForce | what do you mean from outside LAN? from the internet? | 00:09 |
| JoshuaP0x1 | what do you guys use to interface with your iPod? I want to DL podcasts and have them dynamically update and show up in my podcast folder on my iPod | 00:09 |
| nerdy_kid | KiaForce yes, from LAN i can use an ftp client to access the server, from the Internet i can only use an sftp client. i hope im not being vague... | 00:10 |
| KaiForce | what kind of firewall do you have? what is your LAN network #? | 00:10 |
| bitmonk | resno_: perhaps, sure, that should work fine.. | 00:10 |
| KaiForce | is the server plugged directly into the internet and has a public IP? | 00:10 |
| bitmonk | consider buying a cheap switch and a second nic for the server, to segment your network, so your dhcp doesn't die when you service your server, so you can run dhcp out of the router for normal use, and on another subnet or a segment for the pxe stuff.. | 00:11 |
| bitmonk | there are many ways you can do it.. | 00:11 |
| nerdy_kid | KiaForce i use ubuntu default firewall (ufw) which is off. My routers firewall is configured to allow ftp access to my server. | 00:12 |
| KaiForce | ok, so you port forwarded the FTP port to your server, and you can't connect to FTP from the internet - correct? | 00:12 |
| nerdy_kid | KiaForce correct | 00:13 |
| speed_ | Hello everyone | 00:13 |
| speed_ | i was wondering if anyone here could help me with webcamstudo | 00:13 |
| resno_ | !hi | speed_ | 00:13 |
| ubottu | speed_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 00:13 |
| speed_ | if any of you have experience with it | 00:13 |
| KaiForce | nerdy_kid: likely case is that your ISP blocks port 21. move your port forward to another port and try that. | 00:13 |
| KaiForce | if your firewall lets you DNAT from one port to another, otherwise you'll need to move ftp to another port on your server | 00:14 |
| nerdy_kid | KiaForce ok, thank you very much will try that | 00:14 |
| KaiForce | sorry to hear you've been beating your head against the wall on this one if it just the ISP playing games | 00:15 |
| KaiForce | many will also block 25 outbound to prevent hijacked machines from spamming... | 00:15 |

| nicatronTg | Here's my problem: I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 (server edition) on a basically blnd box, but I need to get it on the network. I got the driver running using ndiswrapper, tested it, it responds to iwconfig, and I can scan networks, but I'm not sure how to actually connect. The other thing is wpa, do I need to manually install the wpa_supplicant? Is there a decent tutorial on wpa wifi in a server install? It's been around a year | 00:43 |
| nicatronTg | and a half from the time I last dealt with console only wifi configuration. | 00:43 |
| smiths | that is the file on my client pc right | 00:43 |
| smiths | I have deleted line 2 but it never mentioned line 3 in the forum post | 00:43 |
| RebelZero | smiths, correct... one line was set to the IP while the other was set for the host name, you'll need to delete both | 00:44 |
| WafflesDr | jrib, I first used ln to make a link to the file, but when that wasn't working I opened two Nautilus windows in sudo and drug the eclipse file over, then use "Link Here". I did this to the desktop and I can double click it and it runs fine. | 00:44 |
| jrib | RadicalR: what I said is just my guess. I have no idea if you can somehow recover | 00:44 |
| jrib | WafflesDr: dragged it where? | 00:44 |
| WafflesDr | jrib, I dragged it to /usr/local/lib | 00:44 |
| jrib | WafflesDr: /usr/local/lib isn't in the default path... | 00:44 |
| RadicalR | Well, I did mention that xubuntu can read it fine. | 00:45 |
| WafflesDr | jrib, when I do whereis eclipse it returns /usr/local/lib/eclipse | 00:45 |
| RadicalR | So I'm thinking something went wrong with the MBR. But I don't feel like messing with that. | 00:45 |
| smiths | what is the command for terminal when I do searches for known_host I cannt find the file | 00:45 |

| jrib | WafflesDr: use /usr/local/bin | 00:46 |
| RebelZero | smiths, at the terminal just type: gedit ~/.ssh/known_hosts | 00:46 |
| WafflesDr | jrib, how do I change it? | 00:46 |
| smiths | going to try it now | 00:46 |
| jrib | WafflesDr: delete the symlink you made and make a new one | 00:46 |
| nightshade | RadicalR: apt-get install fdisk. It's like cfdisk, but it's got more features (maybe it comes with ubuntu, but I haven't had much chance to fool with it.) and I remember there was something there that fixes the mbr. | 00:46 |
| aperson | does anyone have any guides suggestions regarding how to setup netbooting? | 00:47 |

| nicatronTg | Here's my problem: I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 (server edition) on a basically blnd box, but I need to get it on the network. I got the driver running using ndiswrapper, tested it, it responds to iwconfig, and I can scan networks, but I'm not sure how to actually connect. The other thing is wpa, do I need to manually install the wpa_supplicant? Is there a decent tutorial on wpa wifi in a server install? | 00:49 |

| hey_joe | i have i seemed to have deleted the /etc/opt/IDEALX folder with some default samba configs needed to setup ldap... how do i apt-get remove/install smbldap-tools to reinvent this directory and its fellows? | 00:56 |
| Random832 | i can't resume from hibernate ever since i resized my swap drive, can anyone help me? | 00:57 |
| hey_joe | Random832, mkswap? | 00:58 |
| smiths | i deleted lines 2 and 3 and it still gives me The authenticity of host 'ttsmith.dyndns.org (216.110.244.50)' can't be established. | 00:58 |
| smiths | RSA key fingerprint is 42:0a:f6:d2:c9:71:c4:34:ec:62:96:e5:f1:d5:14:43. | 00:58 |
| smiths | Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? | 00:58 |
| KB1JWQ | Right. So say "Yes" | 00:58 |
| KB1JWQ | Then it'll stop asking. | 00:58 |
| hey_joe | smiths, what are we trying to do here? openvpn/cached rsa keys? | 00:58 |
| Random832 | @hey_joe, the swap drive works fine when i'm running - it even hibernates to it fine. it won't resume properly | 00:59 |
| hey_joe | Random832, have you tried re issuing the mkswap command? | 00:59 |
| Random832 | huh? what would that accomplish | 00:59 |
| smiths | ssh administrator@****** | 00:59 |
| Random832 | the swap drive itself is fine. it's active _now_ and the space shows up | 00:59 |
| hey_joe | perhaps something important on the swap drive was delete... | 00:59 |
| hey_joe | and maybe just operating it as a swap is not enough.. in fact recreating the swap structure on the partition/drive? | 01:00 |
| Random832 | that doesn't make sense | 01:00 |
| Random832 | but the fact that it _shows up_ as the proper amount of swap space, means that the swap structure _is_ there | 01:00 |
| hey_joe | maybe the restore point is kept on the swap drive in an area only access (or perhaps lost after resize)? | 01:00 |
| hey_joe | Random832, under what assumption? | 01:00 |
| smiths | if I say yes in terminal I can connect but I can no longer connect using connect to server in places | 01:00 |
| Random832 | mkswap was run by gparted, i saw the log. running it again isn't going to do anything | 01:00 |
| hey_joe | excellent.. | 01:01 |
| hey_joe | then that answers the first question. | 01:01 |
| hey_joe | so what does your swap have to do with it not resuming? | 01:01 |
| nightshade | hey joe, what's up? | 01:01 |
| Random832 | um... do you not know how hibernating works on linux? | 01:01 |
| Random832 | the swap drive is where stuff gets stored | 01:01 |
| === xonesoulx is now known as pochomon | ||
| Random832 | now, it _hibernates_ fine which is the weird thing... it just doesn't resume properly | 01:01 |
| nightshade | the swap drive is used as virtual ram. | 01:02 |
| Random832 | the uuid did change after i resized it, but i fixed it in fstab | 01:02 |
| nightshade | ie. it gets erased every time the computer restarts | 01:02 |
| nightshade | am I right? | 01:02 |
| Random832 | @nightshade, um, i JUST explained this | 01:02 |
| nightshade | oh | 01:02 |
| nightshade | sorry | 01:03 |
| Random832 | when the computer is _hibernating_, the kernel is supposed to pick up that fact when it restarts and load stuff off the swap drive | 01:03 |
| hey_joe | omg. | 01:03 |
| smiths | can I just delete all lines in known_host | 01:03 |
| nightshade | oooohhh... | 01:03 |
| hey_joe | Random832, this is impossible to diagnose without knowing your hardware set. | 01:04 |
| nightshade | is that the end of today's lesson, Random832-sensei? | 01:04 |
| hey_joe | simply asking this question is like asking why we have thumbs. | 01:04 |
| nightshade | lol | 01:04 |
| hey_joe | what does the LOG say? | 01:04 |
| Random832 | i don't even know what to look for in the log | 01:05 |
| hey_joe | ah | 01:05 |
| Random832 | it's not a hardware thing - it was working before and my hardware hasn't changed. | 01:05 |
| hey_joe | i would start with the time of the said hibernate call | 01:05 |
| hey_joe | right, however not knowing your hardware kinda limits things as well.. | 01:06 |
| hey_joe | does it happen all the time, or only after short/long periods of time? | 01:06 |
| hey_joe | have you made any bios changes? | 01:07 |
| Random832 | all the time and no | 01:07 |
| hey_joe | changed the uid and update-initramfs -u? | 01:07 |

| smiths | all is well | 01:08 |
| hey_joe | CrOnOs, most likely a sudo action, which would require the stock users password.. | 01:08 |
| nightshade | oh, ubottu... | 01:09 |

| mgv2 | the2morrowman- ok thanks - in windows it was the same | 01:54 |
| Wolvenhaven | arsin, make an ntfs partition, and mount it in ubuntu, windows will see it as well and it can be your "shared" folder | 01:54 |
| Arsin | Wolvenhaven: So I can't write Ubuntu on ntsf? | 01:54 |
| Wolvenhaven | ubuntu can mount and r/w ntfs | 01:54 |
| Arsin | Wolvenhaven: I mean, I can't install Ubuntu on NTSF | 01:55 |

| Xial | Ok. I've got an interesting one that #xubuntu seems to be asleep for. I'm using only a keyboard on this system. I enabled an accessibility feature that allows my number pad to emulate a mouse. If I leave the machine idle for 10, 15 minutes or so, the number pad acts like a number pad again. | 03:07 |
| sblunix | realcoolguy: says the linux uner | 03:07 |
| evanescent | if I direct it to look manually, where do I say it is. LP port? | 03:07 |
| Xial | However, if I can dig my way back to that accessibility feature, it says the feature is on. Is there something I'm just missing here? | 03:07 |
| krishna | k... i m leaving have a nice day | 03:08 |
| realcoolguy | Xial: Are there power saving features enabled? see if you can move the power saving feature time around and if it matches your problem or not. | 03:08 |
| Xial | Unless there's one that kills the keyboard that I'm not aware of, all my power saving settings are set to disabled -- would suck to have the screen fading out in the middle of a movie. :) | 03:09 |

| evanescent | Jeruvy, I went to add a new printer, and it searched for it, but found nothing | 03:12 |

| evanescent | nothing... | 03:13 |
| Xial | realcoolguy, unless the motherboard on this machine is shot (minor possibility of this being true), none that I can think of. | 03:13 |
| acad4 | evanescent: the best thing to do in GNU/Linux is get a printer from a company that actually supports GNU/Linux 100%. you can't go wrong with any HP printer. they provide quality open source drivers for everything they sell these days. | 03:13 |
| evanescent | openprinter.org says this pritner works 'perfect' so Ia ssume its supported | 03:14 |

| Roasted | QUESTION - I have 2 drives I want to rsync. My source drive (my samba network drive) has 3 shares on it, owned by jason:pam, jason:curt, jason:tyler. Inside the files are owned by the users accordingly. tyler:tyler, pam:pam, curt:curt, with jason being a member of each "user" group (meaning I'm a member of tyler, curt, pam, so I can access their files anyway). When I rsync -a their stuff to my 2nd drive, the owner of the files goes f | 03:17 |
| Roasted | rom pam:pam to jason:pam. Why doesn't it transfer owner? | 03:17 |
| Xial | Roasted, I know nothing about rsync, but I'd fairly assume that the owner of the file gets changed to the person that ran the command. | 03:18 |

| jeeves_Moss | what does "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key." mean? I'm trying to pre share keys for SSH | 03:20 |
| evanescent | cups-driver-gutenprint is already installed evidently | 03:20 |
| Roasted | billiard - I could do that, certainly. I just was under the impression rsync doesnt need root access to run as long as I am the owner. Which, I own /media/storage and /media/storagebackup, so when I rsync from storage to storagebackup, I thought it would take the files/folders inside "as is" with their owners intact isnce I owned the root folders they were getting dropped into. | 03:21 |
| Xial | Poincare1, while it's not entirely related, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G/Probing might help you in finding out which TTY your modem is on, by the way. | 03:21 |
| Billiard | Roasted: i believe noone can change the owner of a file but root | 03:21 |
| sblunix | Billiard: untrue | 03:22 |
| Xial | I just had to find the article. Years ago, when I was using a pantech ev-do card, I had to do that dance to find the card, and find the TTY it was on. | 03:22 |
| Roasted | sblunix - root + the actual user who owns it... | 03:22 |
| evanescent | still not detecting... :( | 03:22 |
| Xial | Hope it helps, Poincare1 . Now I need to rescue the fish from the oven. :) | 03:22 |
| sblunix | roasted: :) | 03:22 |
| sblunix | billiard + roasted: root + all users w/ permission to change file permissions... | 03:23 |
| Roasted | sblunix - which would be the answer to my question... I guess I cant rsync files from storage to storagebackup under "pam" being the owner when Im logged in as jason | 03:23 |
| sblunix | Roasted: do you know "pam"'s password? | 03:23 |
| Roasted | sblunix - oh yes, I set up their samba accounts on my system. | 03:23 |
| Roasted | sblunix - I just dont know if its worth tacking on to my script though. I just wanted to make sure my setup was working correctly. | 03:24 |
| sblunix | i only heard the first bit of your question | 03:24 |
| sblunix | So, what are you trying to do? | 03:24 |
| Billiard | sblunix: i am unable to change the owner of any files, only the group, without sudo | 03:24 |
| sblunix | if you have to just run a "sudo" or "gksu" + command then enter root/pam's pass | 03:24 |
| evanescent | for a usb printer, what kind of device should I tell cups it is | 03:24 |
| sblunix | oh yeah, Billiard: I'm afraid that's a safety feature of Ubuntu's | 03:25 |
| sblunix | All important commands in terminal require a sudo, even if owner is logged in | 03:25 |
| === timber_ is now known as timber | ||
| Roasted | sblunix - I guess its not a real big deal, because if storage goes down and I pull my backup from storagebackup, all I have to do are run 3 commands to have them EXACTLY the way they were before... which is simply, sudo chown -R pam:pam pam, curt:curt curt, tyler:tyler tyler... then my backup would be in 100% fu nctional condition to the original. | 03:26 |

| Roasted | sblunix - It was more about making sure my script was working perfectly as it should be. I mean it makes sense that -o requires root priviledges unless I'm the owner. I guess me being in the group "pam" with "7" rights means nothing cause, an owner is an owner, while group is on a different level, even if the permissions are 775 for owner/group. I guess I still dont have full reign even if Im in the group with 7 powers :P | 03:27 |

| Kevin1a | I have been using the wifi at Old Chicago near my work for a while now. It recently stopped working. I still connect to the access point, but none of my applications are able to access the internet. I have tried this using both Ubuntu and Windows 7. My phone still seems to connect fine. Is it possible that I have somehow been blocked? What are the most common ways of blocking users? Could it be a problem with my settings in linux | 03:41 |
| Kevin1a | that are effecting not just the linux partition. | 03:41 |
| epaphus | anybody? | 03:41 |
| webbb82 | what if i take that out of the cmake list | 03:41 |

| frogzoo | downwriter1: the form factor makes no difference | 03:46 |
| === canthus13Taco is now known as canthus13 | ||
| Ether | I think he just means he has an old tower to use | 03:46 |
| downwriter1 | yes Ether | 03:47 |
| Ether | what specs | 03:47 |
| downwriter1 | obviously I am new to this | 03:47 |
| DaZ | downwriter1: how old? :f | 03:47 |
| Wicked | ubuntu runs on a vast array of hardware | 03:47 |

| Wicked | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 03:48 |
| DaZ | tty is the best on old machines. | 03:48 |
| downwriter1 | hmmm I think it is 99/00 | 03:48 |
| Wicked | looks like it needs 300mhz+ cpu and 64mb's of ram for a desktop | 03:48 |
| downwriter1 | I need to do the spec work | 03:48 |
| Ether | I got an old inspiron 3500 rocking like 128MB ram runs it decent | 03:48 |
| preecher | what is tty | 03:49 |
| epaphus | Anybody know why I cannot install ubuntu on a box and then close the HD so itcan be used on other boxes? Iam having trouble for it to recognize hardware.. such as the NIC... the livecd for 9.10 does run fine and always recgonizes everything.. is it possible that one install is somehow tied with the hardware it was installed at? | 03:49 |
| DaZ | ... :f | 03:49 |
| Wicked | anything 300mhz+ and 64mb+ of ram...and it will run | 03:49 |
| downwriter1 | but you can't use it for the server edition? | 03:49 |
| Wicked | downwriter1, well the server version is without x...so id say it would be the same or less for a server | 03:50 |
| downwriter1 | ok | 03:50 |
| downwriter1 | thank you | 03:50 |
| Wicked | for the absolute minimum its saying intel pentium 486 cpu or better and 32mb's of ram...with 300mb's of disk space. | 03:51 |
| Wicked | but thats absolute bare minimum... | 03:51 |
| downwriter1 | yeah | 03:51 |
| downwriter1 | hmmm I have a few old towers, I suppose I could swap in some hardware | 03:51 |
| frogzoo | ubuntu publishes a min spec, and I believe 256Meg RAM is a min... | 03:51 |
| frogzoo | for desktop anyhow | 03:52 |
| DaZ | he doesn't need x on a server ;f | 03:52 |

| Wicked | i ran ubuntu server on a old p3 755mhz and i think 64 or 128mb's of ram...on a 8 gig hdd...ran good for a home server. | 03:52 |
| downwriter1 | my idea was to run a server on the tower and run the desktop on my laptop | 03:52 |
| DaZ | NavyWife: playonlinux can do it <: | 03:52 |

| Senesence | Wicked: Where can I find the default mounting rules for usb devices? | 03:55 |

| comfnumb | histo: well there arent any settings to adjust within the game... does ubuntu have its own firewall controls? or do i control it elsewhere? | 04:06 |
| histo | NavyWife: ahh what version is availble in the repos? try apt-cache showpkg wine | 04:06 |
| NavyWife | Histo: Let me try that. | 04:06 |
| histo | comfnumb: if you've installed a firewall it does. Also you could be behind a router/modem thats giving you issues. | 04:07 |
| tehbaut | Anyone have any clues why apps no longer put shortcuts in the main menu after I customized the menu? | 04:07 |
| histo | NavyWife: if its not the specific version you need I would suggest downloading the .deb from the wine site for the version you need. If you have a .deb you can just double click and install it. You downloaded the source version the tar.gz | 04:08 |

| russlar | slango: mostly | 04:23 |
| slango | that is... is it safe to use often in Linux? | 04:23 |
| ]RandoM[ | i think this is isp related.. but now when i connect to irc the server says my hostname is too long and uses my IP instead. | 04:23 |
| russlar | i don't think hfs is same to use anywhere, even on mac | 04:23 |
| russlar | but I have used it | 04:23 |

| sebsebseb | d0htem: ok well maybe there is something wrong with your hard drive | 04:30 |
| d0htem | oh yeah definetly but even though it was REALLY buggy | 04:30 |
| histo | NavyWife: could be that you have the 1.1.31 package in your archives. You may have to sudo aptitude purge wine && sudo aptitude clean | 04:30 |

| tehbaut | Flannel: I thought he was talking about Karmic (since that's all I was talking about, and he replied to me) | 04:31 |
| histo | NavyWife: then you should be able to sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install wine | 04:31 |
| tehbaut | heh | 04:31 |

| thiebaude | in 9.10 | 05:11 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: make sure the share is public = yes and guest ok = yes You can also force user and force group so that the file permissions don't get all goofy when someone writes to it. | 05:12 |
| lilzeus | histo: I lied, one of them was set to WORKGROUP | 05:12 |
| BoxMagnet | histo, ok will try | 05:12 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: also make sure you share name doesn't have some goofy space or something int he smb.conf | 05:12 |
| speed | okay right now i'm installing Envy; Is there any recommendations for using it to get ATI drivers setup? | 05:13 |
| histo | lilzeus: that could be an issue also smbtree will show you a graphical map of the network in cli | 05:13 |
| lilzeus | I modified the smb.conf so that it says MSHOME now...is restart sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart? | 05:13 |
| epaphus | russlar, is it normal that i have 4 entires in there? | 05:13 |
| histo | !envy | speed | 05:13 |
| ubottu | speed: EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE).

| histo | BoxMagnet: I don't understand what you meant by share modes = yes | 05:16 |
| lilzeus | well, this machine the samba restart went fine, the other one had errors | 05:16 |
| russlar | epaphus: do you have 4 network cards? | 05:16 |
| BoxMagnet | histo, its in smb.conf under one of my shares | 05:16 |
| histo | shawn_: in some filesharing channels it would list all the bots that are serving | 05:16 |
| shawn_ | histo Oh never been to a filesharing channel | 05:16 |

| Bouquet | I have 3 root partitions and a separate '/home' partition. I did 'dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda3 bs=10M' to copy my production partition to sda3 to test the upgrade. I fixed /etc/fstab to set /=/dev/sda3, booted into it, and am ready to test the 9.10 upgrade process. My /dev/sda1 production partition should be safe, right? | 05:23 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: ignore the last line with the guest ok = yes Idon't think that is needed. | 05:23 |
| lilzeus-web | Sorry, 'www.pastebinit.com' does not exist or is not available. | 05:23 |
| BoxMagnet | yep. | 05:24 |
| maco | lilzeus-web: pastebin.ca pastebin.com paste.ubuntu.com <-- these all exist | 05:24 |
| histo | k let me change the program hold up | 05:24 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: paste.ubuntu.com/297301 | 05:25 |
| lilzeus-web | histo: the machine where I am sharing the folder, now displays Windows Network, and 2 shares | 05:25 |
| histo | lilzeus-web: do you have samba installed on the other machine? | 05:26 |
| lilzeus-web | maco: I was just listing the results when I clicked on histo's link :) | 05:26 |
| epaphus | Hello, how can I upgrade ubuntu from the terminal? | 05:26 |
| jordo2323 | Everytime I start Tomboy nothing happens and when I try to add the tomboy icon to a panel nothing happens either. Any ideas? | 05:26 |
| lilzeus-web | histo: yes of course, both machines have samba | 05:26 |
| Flannel | epaphus: From what version to what version? | 05:26 |
| datz | hi, how can I see if there are updates for a package? | 05:26 |
| datz | through terminal | 05:27 |
| lilzeus | histo: I am on the other machine now | 05:27 |
| histo | datz: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude showpkg <packagename> | 05:27 |
| datz | thanks | 05:27 |
| Flannel | datz: For a specific package? `apt-cache policy package` is one way | 05:27 |
| jony123 | Is there a way to incress screen brightness while plugged in? | 05:27 |
| datz | package "subersion" | 05:27 |
| lilzeus | histo: Places>Network only shows Windows Network | 05:27 |
| histo | datz: you could check the version against the one that is installed with dpkg -l | grep <package name> or listen to flannels way | 05:27 |
| maco | lilzeus-web: ah ok. i thought someone mentioned the pastebinit package and you were looking for a matching website | 05:27 |
| datz | oops subversion* | 05:27 |
| epaphus | Flannel, within.. just the packages.. for 9.10 | 05:28 |
| histo | lilzeus: yeah it should show that way then inside of there will be your workgroup. | 05:28 |
| datz | ok | 05:28 |
| histo | lilzeus: install smbtree on the machine that you have the share and run that. | 05:28 |
| Flannel | epaphus: What? You want to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10? | 05:28 |
| lilzeus | histo: Unable to mount location | 05:28 |
| progesterone | question: What's 'll' command-equivalent on Ubuntu terminal? | 05:28 |
| lilzeus | histo: Failed to retrieve share list from server | 05:28 |
| histo | epaphus: in #ubuntu+1 is support for 9.10 | 05:28 |
| histo | lilzeus: when you run smbtree? | 05:29 |
| lilzeus | histo: on the machine sharing the folder, everything shows up fine | 05:29 |
| lilzeus | histo: on this machine is where I cannot access the other | 05:29 |
| datz | Does this mean there is no later version: Installed: 1.4.6dfsg1-2ubuntu1.1 Candidate: 1.4.6dfsg1-2ubuntu1.1 | 05:29 |
| Bouquet | aw screw it, I'll just hit the big red button. | 05:30 |
| Flannel | datz: Have you done apt-get update recently? | 05:30 |
| histo | lilzeus: make sure you have samba-common on the machine that you can't access the other. | 05:30 |
| thiebaude | epaphus, update-manager -d | 05:30 |
| datz | yes | 05:30 |
| datz | let me try again | 05:30 |
| Flannel | datz: It means that as of your last apt-get update there's no newer version | 05:30 |
| datz | ok, so manually update? | 05:30 |
| datz | screen -r irssi | 05:31 |
| datz | oops | 05:31 |
| histo | datz: sudo apt-get update then run the command again | 05:31 |
| lilzeus | histo: yep, samba-common appears to be on here | 05:31 |
| * histo fingers crossed 90% pass with the bad stick removed hopefully memtest | 05:31 | |
| epaphus | thiebaude, thanks.. i didnt explain myself well. | 05:31 |
| thiebaude | epaphus, np | 05:32 |
| BoxMagnet | histo, ok, now it says its already registered | 05:32 |
| BoxMagnet | when i try to open the share | 05:32 |
| BoxMagnet | i used ur smb.conf, edited of course. | 05:32 |
| BoxMagnet | and i added my self and samba quest account | 05:32 |
| datz | histo, same thing...looks like I need later version though. svn: This client is too old to work with working copy | 05:32 |
| BoxMagnet | to my group | 05:32 |
| * eclipse75 hugs BoxMagnet | 05:32 | |
| BoxMagnet | eclipse75, lol | 05:33 |
| BoxMagnet | i think im going to kill my self soon | 05:33 |
| BoxMagnet | all i want to do is watch a movie | 05:33 |
| BoxMagnet | arg | 05:33 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: you don't need users and guests with my smb.conf it just works and won't prompt for user pass when you connect. | 05:33 |
| epaphus | Hey guys, i installed icewm ... but I need a login screen for it (instead of GDM) .. what can i use? | 05:33 |
| Flannel | datz: There's an updated version (1.5.1) in hardy-backports | 05:33 |
| datz | thanks | 05:34 |
| BoxMagnet | histo, well it says already registered | 05:34 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: I really need my gui back to check but it will be a while perhaps someone else can help. Thats just wierd. I don't get what is going on with you and lilzeus | 05:34 |
| datz | Flannel, do I have to add a repo? | 05:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | epaphus, xdm - but it looks like it's from the 70s :( | 05:34 |
| lilzeus | histo: when I double click Windows Network from this machine, it is empty | 05:34 |
| * datz looks | 05:34 | |
| BoxMagnet | me too | 05:34 |
| Flannel | datz: You need to enable backports, which could be seen as adding a repo. I urge you not to enable -backports permanently, but just add it, update, install subversion, then remove it (don't upgrade) | 05:35 |
| lilzeus | the other machine(the one sharing the folder) everything shows up fine | 05:35 |
| Animagladius_ | Night. | 05:35 |
| lilzeus | going to try something | 05:36 |
| lilzeus | attempting to share a folder on THIS machine, and see if the other can see it | 05:36 |
| datz | Flannel, ok...I'm only on command line here...any tutorials? | 05:36 |
| Flannel | datz: Yeah, it's easy. Let me find one. | 05:36 |
| datz | thanks | 05:36 |
| BoxMagnet | ok | 05:37 |
| sam2 | hello I need some information on ubuntu...... | 05:37 |
| lilzeus | arrrggg | 05:37 |
| navap | !ask | sam2 | 05:37 |
| ubottu | sam2 : Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 05:37 |
| epaphus | ZykoticK9, is that the only option? xdm and gdm?= | 05:37 |
| Flannel | datz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine | 05:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | epaphus, or kdm | 05:37 |
| thiebaude | sam2, what info? | 05:37 |
| sam2 | I've been using fedora all these years , now I'm planning to shift to ubuntu..... I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS | 05:38 |
| lilzeus | now when I double click Windows Network, it opens and I see the workgroup(MSHOME), but when I double click that, I get that same 'unable to mount' error | 05:38 |
| datz | Flannel, thanks | 05:38 |
| sam2 | Will yum update work in ubuntu??? | 05:38 |
| thiebaude | sam2, what is your questions to the channel? | 05:38 |
| thiebaude | sam2, no | 05:38 |
| sam2 | Will yum update work in ubuntu??? | 05:38 |
| linden940 | anyone that would call them selfs a pro with the xorg.conf? | 05:38 |
| Flannel | sam2: No, Ubuntu uses apt instead of rpm, but there's an equivalent command | 05:38 |
| Billiard | sam2: in ubuntu you will use apt-get update | 05:39 |
| lilzeus-web | so weird | 05:39 |
| linden940 | anyone that would call them self a pro with xorg.conf? if so plez help me out here | 05:39 |
| lilzeus-web | this machine can see its own shares | 05:39 |
| sam2 | ohhh.... k.... now after I install ubuntu, how to install KDE ?? | 05:39 |
| Flannel | !anyone | lilzeus-web | 05:39 |
| ubottu | lilzeus-web: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:39 |
| lilzeus-web | the other cannot | 05:39 |
| Flannel | er, | 05:39 |
| Flannel | !anyone | linden940 | 05:39 |
| ubottu | linden940: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 05:39 |
| Flannel | sam2: You'll be better off installing Kubuntu (assuming you just want KDE) instead of switching afterwards | 05:40 |
| Flannel | sam2: If you want both KDE and Gnome, just install the kubuntu-desktop package | 05:40 |
| lilzeus-web | I am going to restart the other machine, see if that helps | 05:40 |
| datz | Flannel, uncomment this? #deb https://edge.launchpad.net/~kklimonda/+archive/backports hardy main | 05:41 |
| histo | BoxMagnet: I just booted a livecd and I can connect to my share with that smb.conf on my server | 05:41 |
| sam2 | Yes I actually want both kde and gnome.... | 05:41 |
| Flannel | datz: No. You want deb http://[your regular archive URL]/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 05:41 |
| lilzeus-web | lilzeus will be back | 05:41 |
| lilzeus-web | :) | 05:41 |
| linden940 | can anyone help me mod the xorg.conf...i could use some help | 05:41 |
| BoxMagnet | lilzeus-web, | 05:41 |
| sam2 | so after i install ubuntu how to get the kde?? | 05:41 |
| Flannel | sam2: Alright, then it's as easy as installing "kubuntu-desktop" | 05:41 |
| BoxMagnet | got ur problem solved buddy | 05:41 |
| lilzeus-web | really? | 05:42 |
| histo | linden940: whats the problem? | 05:42 |
| DaZ | linden940: protip: ask exactly what you want to do :f | 05:42 |
| linden940 | when i reboot my pc my res is real low | 05:42 |
| histo | linden940: what type of video card do you have? | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | linden940, are you able to pastebin your current xorg file - and tell the channel what you want changed. | 05:42 |
| thiebaude | !synaptic | sam2 | 05:42 |
| ubottu | sam2: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:42 |
| linden940 | so from all the reading i have been doing and as far as i have gotin i have been told that if i can mod the xorg.conf it would fix my promble | 05:42 |
| linden940 | nvidia | 05:43 |
| sam2 | should i give his command sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop ??? | 05:43 |
| BoxMagnet | lilzeus-web, pm | 05:43 |
| datz | Flannel, humm, not seeing it, I guess I should find one to add? | 05:43 |
| Flannel | datz: What package manager are you using? | 05:43 |
| thiebaude | linden940, which nvidia? | 05:43 |
| Billiard | sam2: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:43 |

| histo | BoxMagnet: Now i'm writing to it with out a problem | 05:43 |
| linden940 | i 4got looking it up | 05:44 |
| thiebaude | linden940, what problem are you having? | 05:44 |
| datz | Flannel, using gome..ubuntu 8.04 default one I guess | 05:44 |
| datz | gnome* | 05:44 |

| BoxMagnet | histo, im using ssh now | 05:44 |
| linden940 | when i reboot my pc the res is very small and i cant see anything | 05:44 |
| lilzeus-web | weird | 05:44 |
| Flannel | datz: Alright, lets just drop to the command line since it'll be easier to help you. Close whatever you're looking at (package manager), and then do this in a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 05:44 |
| sam2 | how to get the nvidia drivers ..... i ususlly face a hell lot of problem in fedora | 05:44 |
| lilzeus-web | this machine can see its own shares, the other cannot see its own shares | 05:44 |
| thiebaude | linden940, System-administration-hardware drivers | 05:44 |
| datz | Flannel, I'm using only command line | 05:44 |
| epaphus | If X can be used with a client to connect to a remote X server.. is there a limit then to have 20 LAN users run everything remotely? (like firefox and office) what are the limitations? | 05:45 |
| histo | linden940: install the restricted drivers as thiebaude suggested | 05:45 |
| Flannel | datz: Oh, wait. hah, wrong question, sorry. | 05:45 |
| Billiard | sam2: its very easy in ubuntu, there will be a popup that 3rd party drivers are availiable | 05:45 |
| thiebaude | linden940, then let ubuntu search for the drivers and pick the recommended one | 05:45 |
| datz | Flannel, yea, don't want kubuntu. :) | 05:45 |
| linden940 | its nvidia accelerated graphics driver ver 180 | 05:45 |
| datz | np | 05:45 |
| Flannel | datz: You're looking for backports? Yeah, ok, what are some of your other deb https://[url] stuff stuff URLs? archive.ubuntu.com? cc.archive.ubuntu.com? | 05:45 |
| linden940 | i did that | 05:45 |
| linden940 | it wont work | 05:45 |
| thiebaude | linden940, i used 180 in 9.04 but now 185 in 9.10 | 05:45 |
| histo | epaphus: you would be limited by the resources on the server ex: if it can't handle running 20 instances of firefox locally its not going to with forwarding X | 05:46 |
| linden940 | i have the recommended one on | 05:46 |
| sam2 | wow.... thanks Billiard..... hopin to have a nice time with ububtu.... will start right away | 05:46 |
| thiebaude | linden940, what did it say? | 05:46 |
| BoxMagnet | lilzeus-web, open a pm with me | 05:46 |
| BoxMagnet | i got an idea for you | 05:46 |
| sam2 | thanks all for your support | 05:46 |
| epaphus | histo, firefox would run in the remote server.. right? | 05:46 |
| thiebaude | linden940, gksudo nvidia-settings | 05:46 |
| linden940 | well i am useing the 180 | 05:46 |
| linden940 | and it wont work | 05:46 |
| datz | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/m3460f5a3 | 05:46 |
| histo | epaphus: yeah then it would just forward X over ssh | 05:46 |
| epaphus | histo, what actually needs installed in the local machine for this? | 05:46 |
| thiebaude | linden940, can you do that in a terminal? | 05:47 |
| blenderpc | Question: Best App for managing music and working with Ipod | 05:47 |
| Flannel | datz: Add this: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse | 05:47 |
| histo | epaphus: you'll still need atleast a minimal X server on the local machine then you could forward the apps | 05:47 |
| histo | epaphus: google X forwarding | 05:47 |
| Flannel | datz: then save, update, install subversion, and then comment that line out. | 05:47 |
| histo | epaphus: someone else may know a more modern way like a thin client if thats what you are trying to do? | 05:48 |
| datz | Flannel, ok thanks | 05:48 |
| thiebaude | linden940, do you have nvidia-settings? | 05:48 |
| linden940 | yea | 05:48 |
| linden940 | its up | 05:48 |
| thiebaude | linden940, choose you resolution , hit apply and then save to X configuration | 05:49 |
| datz | Flannel, great, thanks working. :) | 05:49 |
| linden940 | i have done the save to x configuration and it still wont work | 05:49 |
| epaphus | histo, right.. but thin clients would be based on this... wouldnt it? | 05:49 |
| Roasted | question - if I CD into a directory in terminal that I own, why can't I run chmod 775 *.* for all files within the directory? I know I could run chmod -R 775 /media/storage, but if I want /media/storage to have 770, and all contents inside to have 775, that means I have to run chmod -R 775 /media/storage, then chmod 770 /media/storage to get the perms I want. Why cant I run it with *.* in a directory? | 05:49 |
| linden940 | when i reboot its back 2 bein small | 05:49 |
| thiebaude | linden940, it then save to xorg.conf | 05:49 |
| linden940 | i did that | 05:49 |
| thiebaude | linden940, your doing something wrong | 05:49 |
| linden940 | let me reboot...let me see if it works now.. | 05:49 |
| thiebaude | ok | 05:49 |
| mb_again_ | roasted: are you trying to change permissions on read only media? | 05:50 |
| linden940 | i have been doing this for like 5+hrs | 05:50 |
| Billiard | Roasted: you can whats the error? | 05:50 |
| thiebaude | linden940, wow, too long, nvidia is great with ubuntu | 05:50 |
| histo | epaphus: no looks liek the way is with LTSP search on help.ubuntu.com for ltsp i'm reading about it now it sounds like what you want. | 05:50 |
| Roasted | mb_again - No. I just like to have certain permissions on the mount point, and certain permissions on all files inside. | 05:50 |
| Roasted | billiard - it just says no file or directory. | 05:50 |
| linden940 | lol its not working good 4 me | 05:50 |
| linden940 | ok i will be back in a sec | 05:50 |
| wizzo50 | Hi, is there a program to run to save your data here on Ubuntu as a backup and then reinstall on another computer for Windows 7? | 05:50 |
| thiebaude | ok | 05:50 |
| Billiard | Roasted: are your files in the form *.* | 05:50 |
| Roasted | billiard - I'm CD'd into the directory, so when I run chmod 775 *.* I figured it would just apply to all contents of the folder. | 05:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, don't use "*.*" in unix! that would mean ONLY files with an extension! just use * for everything | 05:50 |
| Roasted | Billiard - I was assuming *.* was the wildcard, including ALL files. | 05:50 |
| Billiard | Roasted: * is all file | 05:51 |
| Roasted | zykotick9 - so if I run chmod 775 * wi thin /media/storage, all files within storage would get 775 perms? | 05:51 |
| Roasted | damnit I need to stay away from windows :P I use *.* a lot in windows. | 05:51 |
| histo | epaphus: with LTSP the clients don't need any local storage | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Roasted, not sure about your specific problem just pointing out the *.* problem | 05:51 |
| datz | Flannel, lol...still too old. :P | 05:51 |
| Roasted | zykotick9 - worked with chmod 775 * | 05:52 |
| Roasted | billiard, mb_again, zykotick9 - thanks! | 05:52 |

| wizzo50 | Is there a program to run to save your data here on Ubuntu as a backup and then reinstall on another computer for Windows 7? | 05:53 |
| epaphus | histo, right..i think thats about the entire difference.. or does the kernel actually load in the RAM of the client vrs the X frowarding loads EVERYTHING from network.. right? | 05:54 |
| Guest49024 | how can i install VMware server? | 05:54 |
| linden940 | same damm thing | 05:54 |
| linden940 | i had the small screen again | 05:54 |
| Flannel | datz: Still too old? What version of subversion are you dealing with on the server? | 05:55 |
| thiebaude | linden940, and you said 180 drivers are installed | 05:55 |
| linden940 | yes they r | 05:55 |
| Guest49024 | i have no ideo... | 05:55 |
| Guest49024 | idea | 05:55 |
| datz | Flannel, just asked someone to see if they could check out the same project, they could with 1.4.2 | 05:55 |
| thiebaude | linden940, and you did gksudo nvidia-settings | 05:55 |
| wizzo50 | How can I backup my data on here to save when I reinstall ubuntu with Windows? | 05:55 |
| datz | Flannel, must be some other problem | 05:55 |
| linden940 | yes | 05:55 |
| Flannel | datz: You're trying to read a directory that's already under version control? | 05:56 |
| histo | epaphus: Both can accomplish the same thing with X forwarding you will need a X environment on the clients. With LTSP you don't need anything on the clients other than a boot disk to connect tot he LTSP server | 05:56 |
| Guest49024 | how can i install vmware server? | 05:56 |
| Flannel | datz: As in, someone checked it out, and now you're trying to use it from the disk? | 05:56 |
| thiebaude | linden940, i dont know | 05:56 |

| Guest49024 | how can i install vm-ware server? | 05:56 |
| epaphus | histo, right.. but then again.. the part iam interested is that the kernel gets loaded in the RAM entirely.. would this be right? | 05:56 |
| histo | wizzo50: do you have somewhere to put your data? like an extra drive or thumb drive etc..? | 05:56 |
| thiebaude | linden940, you on 9.04? | 05:56 |
| datz | Flannel, they were able to check out the same source with an older client | 05:57 |
| Guest49024 | what ,an../ | 05:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | linden940, in a terminal run "gksudo nvidia-settings" make your changes - then click the save to xorg button -- reboot and it will be saved :) | 05:57 |
| linden940 | yea | 05:57 |
| Flannel | datz: right, what are you trying to do? | 05:57 |
| wizzo50 | Yea | 05:57 |
| datz | Flannel "svn update sharelin" | 05:57 |
| thiebaude | ZykoticK9, he did | 05:57 |
| linden940 | zyk i have done just that a sec again | 05:57 |
| Ma5t3rw1tt | Hey everyone | 05:57 |
| wizzo50 | histo: yes | 05:57 |
| histo | epaphus: I don't think LTSP is forwarding the kernel to ram. Its running on the server I believe. But don't quote me i've never used it. | 05:57 |
| linden940 | i have done that like 100times | 05:57 |
| histo | wizzo50: then just copy the files from your /home/wizzo50 and that will be everything. | 05:57 |
| Flannel | datz: Try checking out to a new folder | 05:57 |
| datz | Flannel: svn: This client is too old to work with working copy 'sharelin'. | 05:57 |

| Billiard | Degot: not if you set the sticky bit | 06:16 |
| SeaPhor | Degot, then you create a group, make these users members of that group, chown that parent dir with -R user:newgroup aand then chmod it with the rights u choose,,, 770 or whatever,,,, | 06:16 |
| ramkey | i got a question... how do I as the primary admin user write a text file to root/etc/udev? | 06:16 |
| Degot | Billiard: can you give me info about stricky bit? link or something | 06:17 |
| SeaPhor | Degot, yes | 06:17 |
| Billiard | Degot: wiki: chmod +t dir then only the dir owner, root, or file owner can delete | 06:17 |

| Rask | Hey guys... easy question about partitioning. :) Any advantage to putting the swap partition in front of the root partition, or should one do it the other way round? | 06:47 |
| navap | Preferably I think they should be on different drives. If they're on the same drive it shouldn't matter which is before the other. | 06:48 |
| Rask | Well, let me fill in some more details... I'm trying to do software RAID 1. | 06:49 |
| Rask | Do both drives need a swap partition, or how does that work? | 06:49 |
| Flannel | Rask: swap is just used instead of RAM, so you only need one | 06:50 |
| Flannel | Rask: Oh | 06:50 |
| Flannel | Rask: yeah, I believe both drives need one, because they're mirrored. But you should have twice the swap? They certainly don't need to be backed up. I'm going to back out of this conversation now, since I have no idea what I'm talking about. | 06:51 |

| navap | Raiding the swap doesn't make sense to me either, at least not in a raid 1. If it were a raid 5 or something like that then it might make sense. I'm not sure though. | 06:52 |

| anoe | got a question. I am using an asus EEE 901 notebook with ubuntu studio (last version) over ubuntu 9.04. My lcd screen is 1024x600. My problem is, ardour GTK2 uses windows bigger than my resolution size. I've tried to include a virtual 1280 1024 and modes "1024x600" "1200x1024" in xorg.conf, ad xrandr -q list 1200x1024 as a correcto mode, but when using xrandr -s 1200x1024 it says not available mode. I would like to have a virtual s | 07:01 |
| anoe | creenn bigger than my real screen, and then moving around with the mouse (like old liinux distros) | 07:01 |
| KruyKaze | awesome | 07:02 |
| KruyKaze | how much is it? | 07:02 |
| settntrenz | anoe: I know its possible (my co-worker has that on his eee) but thats all the help I'll be since I really dislike that mode I've never configured | 07:02 |
| settntrenz | KruyKaze: Bestbuy had it for like twenty something bucks | 07:03 |
| settntrenz | KruyKaze: it was in the cell phone section | 07:03 |
| Crayboff | alright i've got a shell account in another timezone, what's the command to change it to EST? | 07:03 |
| KruyKaze | is 2.0 good enough for a headset? | 07:03 |

| Bluey | n8tuser: tht's it! | 07:13 |
| tstebut | what is alien | 07:13 |
| Bluey | !alien | 07:14 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 07:14 |

| darthanubis | unhook from the web and lock in closet | 07:15 |
| histo | !firewall | BellinXFelon | 07:16 |
| ubottu | BellinXFelon: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 07:16 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 07:19 |

| fufu | How is that normal? | 07:43 |
| Billiard | Rebelstar: what file did you change that made you lose audio | 07:43 |
| Billiard | fufu: what are the updates for? | 07:43 |

| ElijahCMenifee | fufu, Depends on what all is being updated the used diskspace afterwards can either go up or down based on the size difference of the new packages, you make have to download 200meg but after appling the removal of the old versions may gain you a net 10meg of additional space. | 07:45 |

| Billiard | Rebelstar: that shouldnt affect audio | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: have you noticed how all ubuntu guides contain the word sudo ? | 07:46 |
| Rebelstar | yes | 07:46 |
| Billiard | Rebelstar: i wouldnt log in as root though | 07:46 |
| Rebelstar | after this istarted using sudo | 07:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: do you know what that is? | 07:46 |
| astrid | Rebelstar: Have you noticed that everyone is telling you not to log in as root? Wow. It's quite incredible. | 07:46 |
| Rebelstar | to get ownership | 07:46 |
| Billiard | Rebelstar: did you change something while logged in as root | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: its the entire reason you never need root, the account is actually disabled by default | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: sudo gives you the equivelant power of root without needing the account | 07:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: it is and always will be but you will never need to log in as root, o even touch the account | 07:48 |
| Rebelstar | :( | 07:48 |
| ElijahCMenifee | Well ActionParsnip I would never say never, I do have a legitamate reason for root login(never no when ldap is going to go down with no actaul local users...) | 07:48 |
| Billiard | Rebelstar: what did you change while logged in as root? | 07:48 |
| fufu | Ok it shows 80MB of "Important security Updates" i will install all of them and restart my comp..i will see if it gives me more "Security updates" | 07:48 |
| Rebelstar | well infact i could not login as root after following that step,,,so i restared | 07:49 |
| Rebelstar | the system | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: if you run: sudo lshw -C sound | 07:49 |
| Rebelstar | and audio was out | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: will tell you the sound chip, you can then set it up as if it never worked | 07:49 |
| fufu | libicu38, libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-data.. hows a regular user suppose to understand that.. | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: i'd say, use sudo -s gives a root shell, there is no need for root | 07:50 |

| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, not if there is no local user, and user credentials are on the LDAP server that just when belly up, its either root or hope you hace live-Cd handy... | 07:50 |
| ramkey | did ATI/AMD stop support of linux drivers? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: true but very specific. I'd at least have 1 user on each system | 07:51 |
| ramkey | did ati/amd stop supporting linux drivers? | 07:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: i told you to use a pastebin | 07:51 |
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, I do have one user on every system (root ;0) but I have been sysadmining for a long long time... | 07:52 |
| Rebelstar | sorry ,using for the first time..sorry | 07:52 |

| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: i'd have a non root account instad which can sudo, but thats just m | 07:52 |
| === __Techie_ is now known as _Techie_ | ||
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, Depending on the problem single user boot as root can be very useful, system requires a root user even if by default it was disabled. | 07:54 |
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, Emergency backdoor access for production servers is very useful. | 07:54 |
| Bluey | backdoor conjures up the wrong images.... | 07:55 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip, pls find the output i got in http://paste.ubuntu.com/297325/ | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: ok but for a desktop user who has just installed? | 07:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: yeah i read it, just web searching | 07:56 |
| X2daYfDaBYcA | how can I get mkv support in vlc | 07:57 |

| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, In complete agreement with you there only needed as specific circumstances(i did say never say never....) , as I have said been sysadmining long time and have been bitten by a disabled root account for emergency hardware/software repair | 07:57 |
| Bluey | okay off for awhile - but I did enjoy this: http://www.bash.org/?905833 | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: how can we modprobe "HDA Intel" ? | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: as it has a space | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | think i got it | 07:59 |
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, I would rename the file to HDA_Intel | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: try this: | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel; sleep 2; sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel | 07:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ElijahCMenifee: appears it has a different real module name | 08:00 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/297326/, i get error | 08:01 |
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, On my local box(karmic) their is a snd-hda-intel.ko available | 08:01 |
| icarus-c | how to request a new IP from dhcp? (or can i?) | 08:01 |
| kusanagi_ | is there anyway to force whatever is using swap memory to use regular memory? | 08:01 |
| ElijahCMenifee | ActionParsnip, Note the - not the _ | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | icarus-c: sudo dhclient <interface name> | 08:02 |
| naruto | hi | 08:02 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: you can set swappiness higher and lower, higher = more swap space used, lower = system tries to keep processes in ram | 08:03 |
| icarus-c | ActionParsnip: would that really change a new IP? | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: otherwise the kernel will analyse the activities and swap what is needed | 08:03 |
| ActionParsnip | icarus-c: you would request a new IP, weather or not its different or the same is up to the dhcp server | 08:04 |
| kusanagi_ | ActionParsnip, my comp is going really slow lately (dunno why) but i noticed im using 20% of swap and the regular ram memory is only at 60%... could that be it? | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: possibly, how much ram do you have? | 08:04 |
| kusanagi_ | 2Gb | 08:04 |
| ActionParsnip | thats loads, my most powerful pc has that | 08:04 |
| === bluebottle is now known as Guest38132 | ||
| ziroday | kusanagi_: are you running a VM of any sort? | 08:05 |
| kusanagi_ | ziroday, no | 08:05 |
| kusanagi_ | can i send watever is in swap to ram? | 08:05 |
| ziroday | kusanagi_: can you pastebin the output of free -m please | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: run: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf | 08:05 |
| ziroday | kusanagi_: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#Performance%20tuning%20with%20%27%27swappiness%27%27 | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: search for vm.swappiness and change it to vm.swappiness=10 | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: you can then save the file and run: sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10 to save having to reboot | 08:06 |
| kusanagi_ | http://pastebin.com/d2aa4a9d1 | 08:06 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: or run "sudo swapoff -a" | 08:07 |
| ziroday | kusanagi_: hardly any of your swap is used, I doubt that's the reason for your computer being slow | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: you can run: top to see whats using most cpu | 08:07 |
| kusanagi_ | firefox without a doubt | 08:07 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: or install htop, which is a bit more featureful | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | yep, firefox is garbage | 08:08 |
| kusanagi_ | but ive used ff with more tabs than i currently have and it wasnt this slow | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | firefox uses more cou that: yes > /dev/null | 08:08 |
| kusanagi_ | maybe a tab is leaking or sumthing? | 08:08 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: do you have Flash content being displayed? | 08:09 |
| kusanagi_ | only 1 video | 08:09 |
| kusanagi_ | and its a 10 min youtube video | 08:09 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: i'd try the swappiness thing, you have a lot of ram to fly at so you should be ok | 08:09 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: that's enough. Adobe's Flash implementation for Linux leaves a lot to be desired. | 08:09 |
| kusanagi_ | :/ can a tab be leaking and causing all this? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | i wish adobe would get smart and open up flash | 08:10 |
| kusanagi_ | ActionParsnip, we all do | 08:10 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: get rid of the Flash | 08:10 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: i'll wager that's it | 08:10 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip: it says ERROR: Module snd_hda_intel is in use | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: also reduce plugins and skins too, they take up ram too | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: hmm | 08:11 |
| kusanagi_ | i restarted ff and its ok now | 08:11 |
| kusanagi_ | i guess i wont be able to detect what was it now | 08:11 |
| kusanagi_ | but in a few hours is gonna be again slow | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: thats the module (and sub modules that help it) that give you sound | 08:11 |
| mneptok | kusanagi_: open *only* that video | 08:11 |
| kusanagi_ | ive been like this for 2 days | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: maybe your card needs so extra options | 08:11 |
| kusanagi_ | thanks guys :D | 08:12 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip: one more thing, when i say audio is out,there is still buzz sound | 08:12 |
| skx | I am trying to compile and install kydpdict but running into a problem I can't debug (at the end of the log, obviously) http://pastebin.com/d46f24249, any idea? | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: are the sliders cranked high? | 08:12 |
| Rebelstar | yes | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: for volume | 08:12 |
| indus | hello folks | 08:12 |
| Rebelstar | yes | 08:12 |
| kusanagi_ | btw, when is a going to run flash smoothly on linux? :( | 08:12 |
| skx | kusanagi_, never, flash sux | 08:13 |
| indus | probably when 11 comes out | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | kusanagi_: ask adobe, they hold the key | 08:13 |
| kusanagi_ | skx, we are doom then | 08:13 |
| kusanagi_ | coz everthing is flash | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | or java | 08:13 |
| skx | I don't feel doomed nor compelled to watch hd movies in flash | 08:13 |
| skx | anyway, I am trying to compile and install kydpdict but running into a problem I can't debug (at the end of the log, obviously) http://pastebin.com/d46f24249, any ideas? :) | 08:13 |
| ActionParsnip | firefox 3.7 makes it use less but its flakier than colin the lepper | 08:14 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: Adobe opening Flash will not help much | 08:15 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: the code is beyond crufty, and has significant amounts of ASM | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: but it surely can be analysed and made nicer | 08:15 |
| kusanagi_ | ActionParsnip, can we like buy it the patent and make it free? | 08:15 |
| kusanagi_ | cant* | 08:15 |
| ziroday | I'm sure donating (time. money, cookies) to the gnash project would help | 08:15 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: mozilla did it with the code for nutscrape | 08:15 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: how many skilled ASM coders do you know? how many of them want to work on AV crap in their free time? | 08:16 |
| mneptok | ActionParsnip: Netscape was not ASM | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: its was a joke, none really but i get your point | 08:16 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip::shall i reinstall ubuntu | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | mneptok: it is a step in the right direction though | 08:16 |
| mneptok | C-variant coders are cheap and plentiful. ASM ... not so much. | 08:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: i would if no one else can advise. I'm not so good at sound card stuff | 08:17 |
| Rebelstar | ActionParsnip:thanks a lot for ur help | 08:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Rebelstar: np man | 08:17 |
| kusanagi_ | Rebelstar, i dont know what sound issues did u have | 08:17 |
| kusanagi_ | but im gonna tell what gave the sound back | 08:17 |
| jabagawee | oh no, my zipfile is corrupt because it has 50GB of extra data in it | 08:18 |
| kusanagi_ | rm ~/.pulse* | 08:18 |
| jabagawee | incidentally, it should contain a 50GB file, that i really really need | 08:18 |
| jabagawee | how can i get it out? | 08:18 |
| xim_ | how can i modify the contents of a text (config) file automatically from a shell script? | 08:18 |
| kusanagi_ | jabagawee, what kind of file is in the zip? | 08:18 |
| jabagawee | it was the Documents/ folder of an old computer | 08:19 |
| jabagawee | with a truecrypt archive | 08:19 |
| xim_ | is there a shell command which finds lines of text and replaces them? | 08:19 |
| jabagawee | that i basically dumped everything in | 08:19 |
| Rebelstar | kusanagi: i http://paste.ubuntu.com/297329/ | 08:19 |
| Billiard | xim_: sed | 08:19 |
| Rebelstar | kusanagi: iget that msg | 08:19 |
| jabagawee | exact error: http://pastebin.com/m50494a | 08:19 |
| xim_ | Billiard: thx | 08:19 |
| necromnicon | does anyone know of a good Usenet download program that supports video streaming? | 08:20 |
| kusanagi_ | jabagawee, :S if its encripted i dont know if thats possible | 08:20 |
| jabagawee | kusanagi_, the zipfile isn't encrypted. but there's a tc archive inside the zip | 08:20 |
| Finnish | Any kdenlive users around? I can't render to ogg today, but yesterday it was possible? | 08:20 |
| jabagawee | and it's of ridiculous importance to get that truecrypt folder out | 08:20 |
| ziroday | Finnish: tried running it through the terminal and spotting any error messages printed to it? | 08:20 |
| kusanagi_ | yeah jabagawee but the file inside is encrypted.... that means u cant recover any part of anything | 08:20 |
| skx | xim_, depending on what you want to do http://www.liamdelahunty.com/tips/linux_search_and_replace_multiple_files.php | 08:20 |
| jabagawee | kusanagi_, can't we just assume that it's a giant 50GB blob of binary data | 08:21 |
| jabagawee | and extract it? | 08:21 |
| jabagawee | i have my password and such, that's no issue | 08:21 |
| jabagawee | but the zip around it is corrupt | 08:22 |
| freetime | hi , i have a problem when i do /etc/init.d/networck restart i get th no mount to host | 08:22 |
| freetime | how to slove this | 08:22 |
| kusanagi_ | jabagawee, :S well, sorry i have no idea.... but id say i have lost it if it were mine | 08:23 |
| === diarrheacat is now known as loljew | ||
| jabagawee | kusanagi_, wait, what's the issue that's stopping recovery? if my zipfile were corrupted with a 50GB txt file in it, would that make a difference? | 08:23 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: so the error is: "No mount to host" ? | 08:24 |
| kusanagi_ | yeah... u cant recover that file | 08:24 |
| Yuttadhammo | hey there, I have a problem with Ubuntu Server 9.04... when I run netstat -lu it gives: netstat: no support for `AF INET (udp)' on this system. How do I add UDP support? | 08:24 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: is that right? | 08:25 |
| freetime | o sory no route to host | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | o kthats cool | 08:25 |
| kusanagi_ | jabagawee, i mean, i am no expert, but if something is missing u cant recover that file | 08:25 |
| kusanagi_ | dont give up coz im no expert | 08:25 |
| kusanagi_ | but... | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: if you run: cat /etc/hostname; cat /etc/hosts | 08:25 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: is your hostname in the hosts file to resolve to 127.0.0.1 ? | 08:26 |
| freetime | no | 08:26 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: does it say: 127.0.0.1 localhost | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: and: 127.0.1.1 <your hostname> | 08:27 |
| freetime | yes | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: ok can you ping your router's ip? | 08:28 |
| freetime | no i can't it ping | 08:28 |
| Xaifas | Hey i used "gconftool-2 –type bool –set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false" to turn my desktop off so i can use a screen saver as wallpaper but now i can't seem to manage to turn it back on, any ideas? | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: if you set a suitable static IP address for the interface can you ping? | 08:28 |
| jasonmchristos | ActionParsnip: is always in here giving solid support u would think he was bieng pais | 08:29 |
| freetime | my ip adress i can ping but other no | 08:29 |
| Neriko | I've got an issue. | 08:29 |
| Neriko | It needs fixin' | 08:29 |
| ActionParsnip | jasonmchristos: i wish ;) | 08:29 |
| Xaifas | "gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool true && nautilus" seems to get it back but its only runing while the terminal is runing .. if i close terminal its not working again | 08:29 |
| pshr_ | how to remove default applications that a particular file is opening with, previously i did .chm file to open with nautilus and now when ever i open .chm file it defaults to nautilus giving me a error ? | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: if you set an ip address that is appropriate for your LAN as well as the router IP for the default gateway, can you ping then | 08:30 |
| Neriko | I had two different 'buntu distros; I deleted one, and now I need to resize the other to occupy the whole hard drive. How | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | pshr_: right click the file _> select open with then select other. You can now choose the app and tell the system to remember the association | 08:31 |
| Neriko | How the hell do I do this. | 08:31 |
| Billiard | Neriko: gparted can resize partitions | 08:31 |
| Neriko | Hiya Billiard. This is nightone | 08:31 |
| freetime | no i cant;t it ping | 08:32 |
| Billiard | Neriko: k | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: is it wired or wireless? | 08:32 |
| freetime | is wired | 08:32 |
| Neriko | Umm, I deleted the other partition, so can I still resize the partition while I'm on it? | 08:32 |
| pshr_ | ActionParsnip, there is no option to check remember the app, it just opens up with chmviewer thats all | 08:32 |
| freetime | cable i check | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | !defaulapp | 08:32 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about defaulapp | 08:32 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: try a different port on the router too | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | freetime: also try a diferent cable as that may be bad | 08:33 |
| pshr_ | ActionParsnip, got it :) | 08:33 |
| ActionParsnip | pshr_: good lad | 08:33 |
| Billiard | Neriko: probably not, use a live cd or a gparted cd | 08:33 |
| tasdawg | Gday all how can make a virtual serial port? send a 'file' to it and have another program pick it up and read it? Please in need of real help | 08:34 |
| Neriko | So how do i resize it using a the live cd? | 08:34 |
| pshr_ | Is there an Ovi suite (Nokia) for Linux, its turning out to be only reason why i am still having dual boots of XP and Ubuntu | 08:34 |
| Neriko | I did it once upon a time. No clue how I did it though. | 08:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Neriko: boot to live cd, run: gksudo gparted and you can resize as you wish there | 08:34 |
| tasdawg | pshr_ obex GUI, sync as well | 08:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Neriko: make sure your backs are recent just in case | 08:35 |
| Neriko | hmm. | 08:35 |
| Neriko | ok | 08:35 |

| Bodsda | Billiard: ah, I had php5-common but not php5 -- my bad, ty | 08:38 |
| ActionParsnip | necromnicon: you can open the rar and double click the content, it will be opened to temp whil it is played | 08:38 |
| necromnicon | ActionParsnip: cool thanks | 08:38 |
| tasdawg | Noone knows about ttyS* or ptyt* ???? simulating a serial port? | 08:39 |
| fufu | i downloaded an installation file, it opened in archive manager. How do I install it? | 08:39 |

| Shurick | small question regarding acer notebook with wifi atheros 2425 chipset: is there any solution to fight with pure net performance and constant reconnects to AP? | 08:40 |

| fufu | does it end with .sh? | 08:41 |
| tasdawg | fufu: the name of the file u downloaded | 08:41 |
| tasdawg | a install file (bin) can be blah.bin, blah.sh, blah | 08:41 |
| tasdawg | infid_: yes you Network map it (make a hard link(your file manager should have the option) | 08:42 |
| infid_ | tasdawg: by rightclicking on the folder and choosing 'make link'? | 08:44 |
| fufu | should i install programs on /opt folder? | 08:44 |
| infid_ | fufu 3rd party stuff maybe | 08:45 |
| fufu | i wannt to install komodo | 08:45 |
| fufu | edit | 08:45 |
| Nukeador | Hi | 08:46 |
| Bluey | hello | 08:46 |
| Nukeador | I'm having problems when installing snort 2.8, it's unable to detect that eth0 is a valid interface. I get an error telling me that it isn't. | 08:46 |
| infid_ | fufu are you sure i dont need to list it in /etc/fstab? | 08:48 |
| fufu | uh.. i already installed it in /opt folder | 08:49 |
| fufu | will other users see my opt folder? | 08:49 |
| fufu | i want them to use the program also | 08:50 |
| infid_ | others have read perms by default on /opt | 08:50 |
| infid_ | and execute | 08:50 |
| fufu | ok good | 08:50 |
| infid_ | what's a decent gui browser for ubuntu that's in the normal repos besides firefox | 08:52 |
| Bluey | infid_: well firefox is a browser not a gui | 08:52 |
| infid_ | it's a gui based browser, as opposted to a text browser | 08:52 |
| Bluey | infid_: other browsers would be stuph like opera or konqueror | 08:52 |
| infid_ | i'll try konq, i dont think opera would be in the public repos since it's proprietary | 08:53 |
| Bluey | infid_: oh you were thinking lynx forgot that | 08:53 |
| fufu | what does this mean "Once the installer has finished, add Komodo to your PATH : Add Komodo/bin to your PATH directly: export PATH=<installdir>/bin:$PATH " | 08:53 |
| abhifx | infid_, try seamonkey or opera | 08:53 |
| d9500 | infid_: midori and arora are both gui browsers. not sure about midori, but arora uses the qt toolkit, so it will also install some qt libraries when you install it (worth noting if you want to use gtk only apps) | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | !browser | infid_ | 08:54 |
| ubottu | infid_: Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) | 08:54 |
| Bluey | well I can get opera from the repos | 08:54 |
| fufu | do i just type "export PATH=<installdir>/bin:$PATH" into the terminal? | 08:54 |
| ActionParsnip | infid_: theres chromium too | 08:54 |
| Bluey | true | 08:54 |
| === florian is now known as florian_nairolf | ||
| infid_ | is that like linux's version of google chrome | 08:54 |
| Bluey | infid_: yes | 08:55 |

| Mannan | ey guys, i have just installed ubuntu desktop 9.04 (for the 10th time) and i was wondering if there is anyway i can save its current state (something like Windows Xp System Restore). i want to be able to 'rollback' to a previous restore point just in case i mess up anything because i am new to linux | 09:01 |
| Esnaque | could anyone check the option "Show seconds" in gnome clock?? Something is going wrong. | 09:02 |
| iceroot | if i create a file in /etc/cron.d/ will cron automaticly detect the new job? so that i just can put file with the string 5 * * * * * sh test.sh in it? | 09:02 |

| l314 | ActionParsnip: ya i was trying to do it but didn't realize that it was xfce 4 | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | l314: xfce4 will give you just the desktop and you will run your gnome apps, if you install xubuntu-desktop you will get some lighter alternatives to the gnome apps you run | 09:28 |

| Catalin | microdc is the same thing like strong ? | 09:39 |
| rsk | no | 09:39 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: only better, as SnagIt couldn't seem to scroll all regions successfully | 09:39 |
| rsk | microdc = microdc strong = strong | 09:39 |
| tehbaut | most, but not all | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: i use snaggit on my work laptop, ive not used or heard of scrolling regions | 09:40 |
| vanillasky | got it working, now to figure out my freezing issue | 09:40 |
| vanillasky | thanks | 09:40 |
| Catalin | and with this program i can connect to my fav hubs? | 09:40 |
| rsk | 2006-10-29: microdc is no longer in development. wops | 09:40 |
| rsk | Catalin: yes | 09:40 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: you must not have it set to scroll then? | 09:40 |
| Catalin | <rsk> 2006-10-29: microdc is no longer in development. wops | 09:40 |
| Catalin | :(( | 09:40 |
| rsk | haven't used dc since 2005 maybe | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: i just press ctrl + print screen and draw a square round what I need | 09:41 |
| tehbaut | basically, it's suppose to scroll any scrollable control of any window and piece multiple screenshots of that region back together | 09:41 |
| WackyHyena | how would I know if I have my video driver installed properly? | 09:41 |
| Catalin | rsk, a few minutes in private it will upset you? | 09:41 |
| tehbaut | kinda like page-dn, capture, page-dn, capture... build | 09:41 |
| rsk | Catalin: yes | 09:41 |
| linny | anyone had any problems with transmission freezing up the pc, i have a feeling it has something to do with HT on my p4 cpu , does ubuntu "offically" support HT | 09:42 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: you should get good peformance in games | 09:42 |
| Catalin | Yes means that i can do that? | 09:42 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: it's an awesome feature when it works (and it does for a majority of scrollable regions) | 09:42 |
| rsk | it means dont private message me, i don't know you | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | WackyHyena: if you can run 3D its installed, 3D stuff simply wont start without the right driver | 09:42 |
| Catalin | ok rsk , sorry | 09:43 |
| rsk | ActionParsnip: you sure? ati/radeon driver can run 3 stuff | 09:43 |
| rsk | 3d* | 09:43 |
| Catalin | so, can you name another client like dc for me? | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: i've only used it for small regions, I can do the same without and mspaint to isolate what i need | 09:43 |

| WackyHyena | rsk, i'm trying to make compiz make my titlebars slightly blurred like in vista, but that slows down the whole system, even when not running anything else, it's an intel 945GM card | 09:45 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: you were saying before you had an ATI card | 09:46 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: stop confusing me | 09:46 |
| WackyHyena | i did? | 09:46 |

| ActionParsnip | WackyHyena: i thought you said you had a powerful gaming pc? | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | with an onboard intel graphics card?? | 09:47 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: intel has a opensource driver that works fairly well | 09:47 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: but the windows one is closed source with some magic linux dosen't have | 09:47 |
| WackyHyena | i'm going to buy one soon and I want to know if ubuntu would take advantage of it's power, like supporting all the cores and things like that | 09:48 |
| rsk | but it's getter better for every day basicly in linux | 09:48 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: Yes it will if you buy nvidia GPU, cpu dosen't matter. | 09:48 |
| MenZa | WackyHyena: It certainly can. | 09:48 |

| tehbaut | I guess I'm somewhat used to the [save] [apply] [cancel] workflow implemented by windows | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | WackyHyena: in windows they are advised due to poor user modelling | 09:51 |
| WackyHyena | I wonder if there's any video editor that handles mesh distortions, seems like it's only an idea in linux | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | wonder away, you'll never know unless you ask or research | 09:54 |
| rsk | WackyHyena: http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/features/ | 09:55 |
| tehbaut | is there a better weather widget for gnome panels than the one included by default? | 09:55 |
| rsk | tehbaut: what do you mean by better? | 09:55 |
| WackyHyena | blender is for 3d animation though | 09:55 |
| tehbaut | well, I was hoping for something more widgety when you click to get the forcast an such | 09:56 |
| tehbaut | rather than a tabbed window with plain text | 09:56 |
| rsk | use awn or such | 09:56 |
| tehbaut | something perhaps that pops up when you click, and allows you to interact with it, but clicking away makes it vanish | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: there may be some desklet that gives it | 09:57 |
| lyhana8 | hi, I try to commit a personnal projet to a svn repository but I got this error : containing working copy admin area is missing | 09:57 |
| lyhana8 | the folder doesn't exist in the repository so I couldn't check him out | 09:58 |
| tehbaut | is there a good resource for desklets on the web? | 09:58 |
| tehbaut | or just the desklets site itself | 09:58 |
| accid | i just installed ubunto on a vm, what are some cool plugins i can get ? | 10:00 |
| kbmaniac | have migrated to ubuntu but still get the xubuntu 'loading' screen, how to change ? | 10:00 |
| rsk | accid: please give a cool example, so i know what you want | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: http://www.gdesklets.de/ | 10:01 |
| accid | rsk - interface wise | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootsplash | 10:01 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash | 10:01 |
| ActionParsnip | !splash | 10:01 |
| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 10:01 |
| rsk | accid: what do you think is cool in a interface? | 10:01 |
| accid | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w | 10:01 |

| tehbaut | thanks ActionParsnip, this AWN app is interesting too | 10:02 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: sounds like you found something then :) | 10:03 |
| tehbaut | wonder if it can be made to act similar to the win7 superbar, which I think behaves pretty decently | 10:03 |
| ActionParsnip | accid: you will need to install compizconfig-settings-manager | 10:04 |
| accid | doing so now accid | 10:04 |
| Solar_Flare | Hi ^^ | 10:04 |
| accid | ActionParsnip | 10:04 |
| Solar_Flare | can i somehow save my changes to the ubuntu live-cd? | 10:04 |
| ActionParsnip | accid: i'm not sure how vmware gives any sort of 3D acceleration which compiz needs | 10:04 |
| rsk | Solar_Flare: no | 10:05 |
| accid | rsk | 10:05 |
| rsk | accid | 10:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Solar_Flare: you can put the live cd home on a usb to store settings | 10:05 |
| accid | i may just install ubuntu on its own partition | 10:06 |
| rsk | and how does that relate to me? | 10:06 |

| Jonathan_Glam | Is there a simple .deb installation for Gnome Do Docky? | 10:08 |
| |DarkStar| | holy...this place is almost as big as dalnet or somewhere old | 10:08 |
| Jonathan_Glam | Because I installed Gnome do... but i can't seem to get the dock working | 10:08 |

| ruby_on_tails | is it possible to make a bash script which can clean my desktop every Sunday ? | 10:08 |
| accid | i have a few silly questions | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: sure, the desktop is just a folder ~/Desktop | 10:09 |
| accid | can one OS remote desktop into another OS ? | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: so you can have a script to empty that folder | 10:09 |
| rsk | Jonathan_Glam: http://do.davebsd.com/download.shtml and click on ubuntu? | 10:09 |
| vox | accid: sure | 10:09 |
| rsk | accid: yes | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | accid: sure can | 10:09 |
| ruby_on_tails | no no not empty ActionParsnip :P | 10:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: whatever you want, it will be done in that folder | 10:09 |
| accid | RSK, which program do i need to remote from xp to ubuntu ? | 10:09 |
| rsk | accid: none | 10:10 |
| d9500 | accid: you mean vnc or rdp (to windows)? both can be done from ubuntu, but unless the machines are on the same lan, you probably need a vpn tunnel between them. | 10:10 |
| Jonathan_Glam | rsk, how do I install it from the ppa? https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa | 10:10 |
| accid | there is one here called krdc | 10:10 |
| rsk | Jonathan_Glam: read the instructions | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: write the script to do whatever then have it running every sunday | 10:10 |
| ruby_on_tails | for example if I am working on 4 projects which have their folders in var/www/ can a script put the lazy files downloaded/copied on the desktop in the respective folders in var/www each Sunday | 10:10 |
| ruby_on_tails | aah k | 10:10 |
| FloodBot1 | ruby_on_tails: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:10 |
| ActionParsnip | accid: or if you want basic control you can use ssh and have a command line interface which is much faster | 10:10 |
| slawek | #lubin | 10:10 |
| ruby_on_tails | who coded FloodBot1 ? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: i'd bet jussi | 10:11 |
| MenZa | ruby_on_tails: Ask in #ubuntu-bots for these types of questions. | 10:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | ActionParsnip: can this thing be done on windows os ? | 10:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | DOS scripts maybe ? | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ruby_on_tails: not sure, ask in ##windows | 10:11 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm.. ok | 10:12 |
| ziroday | ruby_on_tails: floodbot was created by LjL` and I'm guessing in perl, but could very well be wrong | 10:12 |
| ziroday | ruby_on_tails: and IIRC its not open source, but #ubuntu-bots is the best place to ask | 10:13 |
| tehbaut | for some reason, I'm now unable to select certain apps to install from the Jaunty Add/Remove Apps listing | 10:13 |
| ruby_on_tails | ziroday: what's IIRC ? | 10:13 |
| ziroday | ruby_on_tails: if I recall corrrectly :) | 10:13 |
| ziroday | tehbaut: like? | 10:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | oh k | 10:14 |
| tehbaut | ziroday: RAR, Avant Window Navigator | 10:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | I just want to tell the coder to improve the logic, the bot shouts 3 out of 5 times on me when I am here | 10:14 |
| MenZa | ruby_on_tails: Again, #ubuntu-bots :) | 10:14 |
| tehbaut | ziroday: looks like it's actually only an issue when I've done a search | 10:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | 1 sec | 10:15 |
| ziroday | tehbaut: hmm, try doing 'sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator' in a terminal | 10:15 |
| MenZa | alternative, ruby_on_tails - https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 10:15 |
| ruby_on_tails | done | 10:15 |
| tehbaut | ziroday: I take that back, still not able to select RAR | 10:15 |
| ruby_on_tails | told at #ubuntu-bots | 10:15 |
| david__ | help, i uninstalled an app and it still is in the menu button under office.. | 10:15 |
| tehbaut | is that because I installed 7zip? | 10:15 |
| d9500 | david: you just want to get rid of the entry in the menu? | 10:16 |
| |DarkStar| | david_ ...right click on the menu and go to "Edit Menu" | 10:16 |
| ActionParsnip | d9500: then run alacarte and remove it | 10:16 |
| d9500 | DarkStar beat me to it. | 10:17 |

| |DarkStar| | cowgarden, I used to use k3b but it wasn't working with my dvd-rw...so I bought nero (ducks for backlash) | 10:21 |
| ActionParsnip | jonathan_glam: you need to install video drivers first, then you can switch on compiz and have compositing | 10:21 |
| engrshahryar_ | location based services? anyone used it in thier app? plz help | 10:21 |
| cowgarden | |DarkStar|, there is a linux nero? | 10:21 |
| |DarkStar| | cowgarden, yessir | 10:21 |
| |DarkStar| | costs money, though | 10:21 |
| Jonathan_Glam | actionparsnip: last time I tried to install Compiz it stuffed up and I had to re-install/repair Ubuntu via LiveCD | 10:22 |
| |DarkStar| | I'd use it as a last resort, though, like I had to...k3b didn't work for me | 10:22 |
| Jonathan_Glam | actionparsnip: i'm looking at: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/03/31/enable-metacity-compositing-in-gnome-222/ | 10:22 |
| cowgarden | |DarkStar|, supporting linux makes them deserve some money :) | 10:22 |

| |DarkStar| | cowgarden, I agree... | 10:22 |

| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, what if none work but a commercial app does? | 10:24 |
| === PKnull is now known as Pooky | ||
| ziroday | david__: and use the wiki | 10:24 |
| fcuk112_ | david__: read some books. | 10:24 |
| cowgarden | david__, maybe just try to tweak your system? | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: then you have some crazy issue | 10:24 |
| zaoul1 | david__: if you want to learn 'Linux' dont use ubuntu | 10:24 |
| david__ | rsk: what "things" do i do? | 10:24 |
| rsk | david__: things you want, that gives best results | 10:24 |
| david__ | zaoul1: i was thinking about debian but i dont know if the difference is that huge.. | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: i'd look at settings and try a million different combinations before paying for an app | 10:25 |
| zaoul1 | david__: you are right, they both use apt-get so it would be the same | 10:25 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, which a commercial program solves...so...? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to use K3b but at the time it didn't detect the drive | 10:25 |
| Jonathan_Glam | rsk, wonderful it worked that link | 10:25 |
| Jonathan_Glam | actionparsnip worked, thanks man! | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jonathan_glam: sweet nice one | 10:25 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, not everyone has the time, or the knowledge to do that. Some, like myself, are just impatient and want stuff to work. | 10:25 |
| david__ | zaoul1: could use freebsd then... | 10:25 |
| zaoul1 | david__: you said you wanted to learn Linux .. | 10:26 |
| cowgarden | fcuk112_, how do I select multiple files in K3b? | 10:26 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: then your wallet will take a hit | 10:26 |
| alan__ | lol i need help desperately, amsn disappeared from systray, and its not in system processes, but its still on, how do i access it? | 10:26 |
| david__ | zaoul1: as long as i learn something im happy, any OS recomendations for learning? | 10:26 |
| cowgarden | fcuk112_, folders i ment, they keep opening on single klick | 10:26 |
| zaoul1 | david__: Gentoo | 10:26 |
| rsk | david__: LFS | 10:26 |
| zaoul1 | rsk: oh dont make the guy commit suicide | 10:27 |
| alan__ | david__: crunchbang! | 10:27 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, a small hit, true. Not anything in the order of paying for a MS Windows license, though. I don't see the problem. | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | david__: +1 for gentoo | 10:27 |
| rsk | -1 for gentoo | 10:27 |
| zaoul1 | we prob need to stop now the topic nazis will show up soon | 10:27 |
| alan__ | Crunchbang is pretty easy to use, and its faster than ubuntu | 10:27 |
| fcuk112_ | cowgarden: are you trying to burn a dvd? | 10:27 |
| cowgarden | fcuk112_, yes | 10:27 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: true true, i'd rather try and get the open solutions going but if the paid for one gets you sorted then its no bad thing | 10:28 |
| zaoul1 | alan__: we want to learn Linux not xyz distribution | 10:28 |
| |DarkStar| | There's room for commercial apps in linux | 10:28 |
| fcuk112_ | cowgarden: just select new data dvd project and drag files into the window. | 10:28 |
| david__ | so.. what do i do gentoo or lfs? | 10:28 |
| indus | is ubuntu 9.10rc out | 10:28 |
| rsk | indus: no | 10:28 |
| zaoul1 | david__: I would setup ubuntu and then install virtualbox and give a whirl at whatever you feel like | 10:28 |
| indus | rsk: delayed? | 10:28 |
| cowgarden | fcuk112_, wanted to use the build in browser, but thats a simple workarround :) thx... | 10:28 |
| alan__ | Does anyone know how to open a list of all running applications? | 10:28 |
| rsk | indus: afaik it won't be a RC. | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: definately, there already is too: penumbra, cedega and crossoveroffice are also commercial | 10:28 |
| zaoul1 | david__: in the virtual env | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | alan__: ps -ef | less | 10:28 |
| rsk | david__: if you want to learn linux get LFS, gentoo is more for having a usable system and good practices | 10:29 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, I used that method for getting DVDs to play...I won't spend a single dime to play DVDs I already own and should be able to play | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: the demo of penumbra is great :D | 10:29 |
| zaoul1 | system -- administration -- system monitor | 10:29 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, yeah it is...actually I played Doom 3 in Linux...good game | 10:29 |
| Tm_T | |DarkStar|: ActionParsnip: ... | 10:29 |
| |DarkStar| | ActionParsnip, and 2D Boy's World of Goo...not a bad game either | 10:29 |
| zaoul1 | id say LFS is outdated, gentoo you can do the same thing without having to solve all the deps yourself, drive yourself crazy | 10:30 |
| djtigerwolf | how do i get amarok to play mp3 files i already added restricted files | 10:30 |
| |DarkStar| | there are some great commercial linux games out there | 10:30 |
| arand | I have a wireless network which only leases for ~300 seconds, meaning that network manager drops the connection constantly, are there any settings in NM to mitigate this? | 10:30 |
| zaoul1 | gentoo you do everything manually anywya.. partition, bootloader, kernel | 10:30 |
| ActionParsnip | |DarkStar|: totally, some are magnificent | 10:30 |
| Tm_T | zaoul1: ActionParsnip |DarkStar| please, topic | 10:31 |
| rsk | zaoul1: he wants to learn linux, LFS isn't outdated for that. | 10:31 |
| WackyHyena | are there any audio editors available that use something like keyframes? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | arand: use static IP | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | arand: change your dhcp lease time to something realistic | 10:31 |
| zaoul1 | and there they are | 10:31 |
| zaoul1 | im outie | 10:31 |
| acts_as_rubyist | hello all, anyone here used Openmeetings ever? | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Tm_T: gotcha | 10:31 |
| david__ | then that settles it, il run gentoo first, then lfs later(lfs sounds harder so il learn stuff in gentoo first) | 10:31 |
| ActionParsnip | david__: gentoo will teach you much | 10:32 |
| |DarkStar| | david__, I'd run slackware first if I were you7 | 10:32 |
| |DarkStar| | -7 | 10:32 |
| ActionParsnip | david__: grab the handbook and the minimal CD and away you go | 10:32 |
| acts_as_rubyist | my first linux install was gentoo from stage 1 tarballs | 10:32 |
| acts_as_rubyist | can you even do that anymore? | 10:32 |
| * david__ starts getting confused.. | 10:33 | |
| david__ | slackware, gentoo, lfs... | 10:33 |

| arand | I have a wireless network which only leases for ~300 seconds, meaning that network manager drops the connection constantly (I presume this is the reason). Currently I'm forced to use ifupdown (+wpa_client) and "watch -n 200 sudo dhclient wlan0" To access the network, which works just as it should. Any way to get this working in NM? | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | arand: why the short lease? | 10:39 |
| arand | ActionParsnip: Not my network, have no idea, it's normally configured using a client application (SecureW2) on windows... | 10:40 |
| |DarkStar| | arand, are you using a wireless router connected to your cable? adsl? and if so, can you connect to it directly and access it's web config page? | 10:40 |
| pee | hi, currently I'm reading in a magazine, that when I create a virtual-hosts file in /etc/apache2/sites-available, so I should link from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. but how looks »the link« like in practise? I have the skript for the virtual-host file, but I don't know nothing about the »linking«. :-) | 10:40 |
| arand | Clarification: I have no possibility configure the network/DHCP, this is a wireless access point at a university. | 10:41 |

| venil | Hi everyone, i created usb drive with ubuntu on it with persistence enabled, so i can save files - however if i make changes to /etc/resolv.conf(and possibly other system files) - its reset on reboot, is there a way to fix this so i can persistently make changes to it. | 10:42 |
| pee | fcuk112_: thx. | 10:42 |
| hsarci_ | ziroday, right click within nautilus?? becasue i cant rightclick from the "places" menu | 10:42 |
| arand | |DarkStar|: I can't configure it see^ | 10:43 |
| FiReSTaRT | hsarci_: so open one of the "places" and that'll open nautilus.. then right click on any folder and open the properties | 10:43 |
| ziroday | hsarci_: any folder will do | 10:43 |
| hsarci_ | *sigh* im in nautilus, ive right clicked on a folder...and theres no place to change what application it opens with | 10:44 |
| ziroday | hsarci_: did you go to properties? | 10:44 |

| FiReSTaRT | erUSUL: i'm in jaunty but i don't have an open with tab for a folder | 10:47 |
| venil | ActionParsnip: so how do i configure to use static ip? | 10:47 |

| FiReSTaRT | erUSUL: basic emblems permissions notes share | 10:48 |
| erUSUL | FiReSTaRT: folder? the folder pen with the file manager (nautilus). it makes no sense imho to change that to anything else | 10:48 |
| venil | nearst: it will be reset after reboot, no persistance for this file | 10:48 |
| erUSUL | FiReSTaRT: what would you change that to ? anuther filemanager? | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | venil: i set it in /etc/network/interfaces as nearst uggested. here is a guide: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 10:48 |

| === cutes is now known as gril_cutes | ||
| ActionParsnip | venil: no, it supercedes all network settings too, if you disable network manager, you can add any name servers you wish in resolv.conf and they will not get removed | 10:50 |
| erUSUL | FiReSTaRT: so you want to pen everything with nautilus except for one folder (or a few) that you want to open with dolphin? konqueror? roxfiler? ... people are crazy | 10:50 |
| meanieface | FiReSTaRT: why not just use thunar? | 10:50 |
| FiReSTaRT | meanieface: i might | 10:50 |
| venil | ActionParsnip: ah, i see, ok | 10:50 |
| nearst | better open a folder in shell :) .. thats true linux | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | venil: personally, I think the network manager overwriting the resolv.cof file is rude | 10:50 |
| meanieface | FiReSTaRT: lightweight and acts just as well as nautilus | 10:50 |
| venil | ActionParsnip: can i disable it from startup, but keep it if i need to run in later? | 10:51 |
| FiReSTaRT | erUSUL: i've used "open with" to change the default app across the board since preferred applications doesn't work every time | 10:51 |
| nearst | any idea about good virtualization ? | 10:52 |
| hsarci_ | the settings in gconf for power manager that refer to time....what unit of measurement do they use???? for example it says "spindown time ac: 600" that means 600 whats? | 10:52 |
| FiReSTaRT | meanieface: ideally i'd like a cross b/w nautilus and win commander.. i'll check thunar out and whatever else is out there.. currently away from home so i don't have too much time to screw around with the system | 10:52 |
| ActionParsnip | venil: sure: sudo apt-get install bum; gksudo bum then disable and stop network manager | 10:52 |

| Martin_vW | Hello, update-manager on my karmic notebooks hangs after having entered the password. I see in htop that update-manager has a subprocess gksu, and gksu has a sudo subprocess in turn. If I strace this sudo process, it prints only one line "restart_syscall" and hangs. Any ideas on what's going on here? | 12:00 |

| GIR7590 | I think I found my problem, looks like there isn't just a universal repo for all versions of Ubuntu, I am currently using Hardy Heron, and it isn't updating SDL to the extent that is needed by the source I am trying to compile, does anyone know if (If possible) I could update my repos so they use a newer version of Ubuntu's repos? | 12:03 |

| Ademan | estan: haha yeah i was mostly joking, it's such an embarassing bug i'm sure it's fixed by now | 12:04 |
| estan | Ademan: well it's tuesday and it's worked before.. | 12:05 |
| GIR7590 | Any ideas anyone? :\ | 12:05 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: what are you trying to build? and you can always do a dist-upgrade, but I've successfully added newer repositories, installed newer packages (from jaunty into my intrepid install) then disabled the newer repos | 12:06 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: also it seems terribly risky, so i'm not saying "do it" but just that it worked for me ;-) | 12:06 |
| thijs_ | Ever since i installed some ati catalyst drivers my 8.10 installation won't load any program, because that leads to direct crash. How do i remove them ? | 12:06 |
| GIR7590 | I am trying to build a little program called EDuke32, it requires newer SDL libraries than what I currently have... | 12:06 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: hah, i was building that a while ago | 12:07 |
| c4pt | mgolisch: ive spent the last 4 or 5 or 6 hrs editing the edid hex with a calculator and the wiki entries for what the byte positions means nothing works at all and i have observed i can only do twin view successfully when using ¨nv¨ instead of ¨nvidia¨ for the driver so i guess this meanings i am basically screwed to get compiz working and other stuff etc etc etc | 12:07 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: even when it did build for me it got stuck in an infinite loop soon after starting | 12:07 |
| hylman | so nobody tried ubuntu moblin remix yet | 12:07 |
| c4pt | mgolisch: :( :( | 12:07 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: er, that was after i fixed one error in the source code to make it not segfault :-/ lol | 12:08 |
| GIR7590 | Ademan: Sounds like you had fun. :o | 12:08 |
| rsk | GIR7590: looked at? http://wiki.eduke32.com/wiki/Building_EDuke32_on_Linux | 12:08 |
| GIR7590 | Yeah. | 12:08 |
| rapha1 | hi! | 12:08 |

| rsk | GIR7590: gotten in contact with upstream? | 12:08 |
| GIR7590 | But my problem is with SDL, not nessecarilly EDUke32. | 12:08 |
| GIR7590 | upstream? | 12:09 |
| rsk | upstream = people who play with eduke32 source | 12:09 |
| rapha1 | how can you create a ubuntu USB drive with a persistent home dir? | 12:09 |
| GIR7590 | Oh, yeah... | 12:09 |

| deepblue69uk | Can anyone tell me the best way to backup your installed packages? | 12:09 |

| rapha1 | what a stupid answer | 12:10 |

| aMuleAduGuest824 | can anyone help me | 12:11 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: that's confusing to me, first it says it doesn't have SDL_mixer.h then it says it's too old... forgive me for asking but you *do* have libsdl1.2-mixer-dev installed right? (package name not quite accurate) | 12:11 |
| hylman | anybody can help me with compiling source... autoconf returns the following error message: "configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE | 12:11 |

| Heckel | i'm trying to install skype on ubuntu with console | 12:12 |
| n2diy | deepblue69uk: we are on a similiar mission, I'm running xubuntu, too. The best solution I have, is to create a "synaptic_list" file, every time I run synaptic, I open the file, make my changes, save to the file, and then apply the changes. It won't back up your system, but all your synaptic additions are in one place. | 12:12 |
| Mital | Ademan: yeah... its not generating the .in files | 12:12 |
| hsarci | is virtual box beteter than wine???? | 12:12 |
| Heckel | but the system doesn't find it | 12:13 |
| thijs_ | legend2440, no there's no uninstall option | 12:13 |
| hylman | it only has configure.ac, so I'm using autoconf... but with no luck | 12:13 |
| GIR7590 | Ademan: I installed them just recently... I guess that's not the problem huh? | 12:13 |
| indus | Heckel: sudo dpkg -i skype | 12:13 |
| erUSUL | hylman: do you have build-essential installed ? | 12:13 |
| Heckel | thank's | 12:13 |
| meanieface | rapha1: you mean something like this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1097888 | 12:13 |
| indus | Heckel: thats probably because skype is on the desktop | 12:13 |
| * rapha1 reads | 12:13 | |
| indus | Heckel: in a terminal do cd Desktop then try command | 12:13 |
| rsk | hsarci: they are different things. | 12:13 |
| Mital | Ademan: not generating Makefile.in files and not even giving any error | 12:13 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: hrm, i wonder how they've decided SDL_mixer is too old... anyways if you're feeling brave you can change your repositories to point to intrepid and update your SDL dev files, and then change your repositories back | 12:13 |
| rsk | hsarci: what do you want vbox or wine for? | 12:13 |
| rapha1 | meanieface: w/o the truecrypt, but yeah! - thanks for the link! | 12:14 |
| Heckel | it doesn't work that | 12:14 |
| meanieface | rapha1: no prob | 12:14 |
| hylman | erUSUL: I'm not running it in my ubuntu box... but moblin instead... | 12:14 |
| deepblue69uk | a virtualised Windows install will offer better compatibility I would think | 12:14 |
| Heckel | i wrote sudo dpkg -i skype but makes error ask for in stall | 12:14 |
| Ademan | Mital: huh... is this for some Makefile.am and such that you've written? | 12:14 |
| GIR7590 | Ademan: How do you do that? I've played around with the repos a bit before, and I had to fix them the first time around. :o | 12:14 |
| Heckel | indus can i open a pvt chat room with u | 12:14 |
| indus | Heckel: type sudo dpkg -i press tab after typing skype | 12:14 |
| deepblue69uk | However, you'd need a pretty fast machine to make up for the lack of speed in a virtual machine | 12:14 |
| hsarci | rsk, ive got applications that need to interface with my serial port that dont work with wine | 12:15 |
| deepblue69uk | So with Wine, you'd get the best performance | 12:15 |
| indus | Heckel: no :) thats reserved for women only | 12:15 |
| Heckel | ok | 12:15 |
| kosmic | sound is still choppy sometimes | 12:15 |
| indus | Heckel: is skype on your desktop? | 12:16 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: basically replace every 'hardy' in /etc/apt/sources.list with 'intrepid' but again it's a bit risky i guess (i dunno, worked for me, but i don't want to say "it'll definitely work") | 12:16 |
| r3za | nathan7: hey , r u there , i got this error when i use command ( APTONCD ) : http://pastebin.com/d404d3f97 | 12:16 |
| kosmic | it wasnt like this on my previous buntu nstall | 12:16 |
| kosmic | isntall | 12:16 |
| indus | Heckel: in linux, you can autocomplete package name with tab | 12:16 |
| rsk | hsarci: how do they fail? | 12:16 |
| indus | !tab | 12:16 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 12:16 |
| GIR7590 | Ademan: Thanks, I'll try that... I'll first back up stuff though. :p | 12:16 |
| Heckel | and can anyone help me with the webcam and the monitor mic of my acer doesn't work with ubuntu | 12:16 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: definitely! good luck... | 12:16 |
| hsarci | rsk, it just doesn't work....it doesn't see the device | 12:16 |
| rsk | hsarci: then virtualbox won't help | 12:17 |
| nathan7 | r3za: Hmm' | 12:17 |
| marcus__ | ufw | 12:17 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: also any reason why you don't just upgrade to intrepid altogether? | 12:17 |
| rsk | hsarci: virtualbox nor wine provies configuration that makes the underlying system work | 12:17 |
| Heckel | if i download the site version of skype for linux is it ok | 12:17 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: it'd probably be less risky | 12:17 |
| hsarci | rsk, ok thanks | 12:17 |
| rsk | hsarci: you need to fix it in linux before you can use it in wine or vbox | 12:17 |

| meanieface | dreamy: how are you downloading the torrents? | 12:21 |
| Ademan | Mital: honestly i always avoided autotools like the plague, so much that I actually wrote my own build system... you might have better luck getting help in another channel (not sure which though) but before you do, have you considered trying out scons or cmake? | 12:21 |
| dreamy | just clicking on the dialog boxes. and using transmission | 12:21 |
| nathan7 | r3za: I think you need something after -l | 12:21 |
| nathan7 | r3za: -l, --cache-dir=PATH | 12:21 |
| GIR7590 | Ademan: It worked! Now I have fully functiional intrepid repos... \o/ | 12:21 |

| GIR7590 | Now to work on EDuke32. | 12:22 |
| Ademan | GIR7590: nice! good luck | 12:22 |
| meanieface | dreamy: but i mean from the net, are you downloading them to your comp first | 12:22 |
| meanieface | dreamy: or are you just letting transmission open them from the web browser | 12:22 |
| r3za | nathan7: no , i move all package from /var/cache/apt/archives to other folder .. | 12:22 |
| dreamy | yes.. from a web page | 12:22 |
| meanieface | dreamy: download the torrent file | 12:22 |
| nathan7 | r3za: -What is /media/Other/Linux/Package/last/archives? | 12:22 |
| Mital | Ademan: I have not tried scons ... not a python freak... but do u think its easier to learn those tools than writing in makefiles ? | 12:22 |
| meanieface | dreamy: then open it | 12:22 |

| nic1 | Gnea, ok so if i need to add anything to init, then i need to place the script here?? | 12:58 |
| lesshaste | what should I do? | 12:58 |
| roflparrot_ | mmmm and up the top are the desktops | 12:58 |
| Gnea | nic1: well, you need to make sure the script is written correctly. the skeleton file is your key. | 12:58 |
| roflparrot_ | and then there's alternate... | 12:59 |
| albasheers1 | i am using ubuntu 8.10 , I have inserted edubuntu addon cd 9.04, after that add /remove application started then I removed that cd now I am getting this whenever I treid to update "not all updates can be installed " how to fix this | 12:59 |
| ziroday | lesshaste: I would recommend downloading the file and then attempting to play it with VLC or something similar | 12:59 |
| lesshaste | do I need the bad and ugly gstreamer plugins? | 12:59 |
| ziroday | albasheers1: in a terminal do sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 12:59 |
| Gnea | nic1: from there, you need to make it so the system knows to run it on bootup and shutdown using the update-rc.d command | 12:59 |
| lesshaste | the exact error message is The requested plugins are: | 12:59 |
| lesshaste | Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source | 12:59 |

| iceroot | nic1: its a comment | 13:00 |
| iceroot | nic1: because of the # | 13:00 |
| albasheers1 | ziroday: will this command upgrade my ubuntu to 9.04 | 13:00 |
| ziroday | lesshaste: I have a feeling you'll find you can only use a windows machine to play that file, but give it a try with VLC | 13:00 |
| Gnea | nic1: it's a comment, it doesn't get executed | 13:00 |
| ziroday | albasheers1: possibly, by mixing repositories you can seriously break your machine | 13:01 |
| nic1 | that's a comment but y did they tell the path, /etc/rc.d......?? | 13:01 |
| luist | how can i make a route permanent? I added it with: route add -net 192.168.10.0/24 gw 192.168.0.1 | 13:01 |

| bazhang | albasheers1, you just want to edubuntu to intrepid? | 13:02 |

| nic1 | in whichone do i need top ut? | 13:03 |

| nic1 | i mean, is that upto me? or same as the package i installed? it's a display manager | 13:05 |
| rezd | roflparrot: you should get the alternate iso used for text installs and adding RAID or LVM. | 13:05 |

| ActionParsnip | roflparrot_: then use the net installer, you will instal the OS from the repos, saves having to install a snapshot then upgrade from the repos | 13:07 |

| n2diy | meanieface: could be, put the CD burner in the target box, and see if it can read the CD there? | 13:20 |
| meanieface | iceroot: exactly | 13:20 |
| nic1 | Dr_Willis, what is rc.local? | 13:20 |
| exodus_ms | I've tried metacity --replace but the top panel is still blinking on and off and system is still running ~60%. I have also disabled devilspie and conky | 13:20 |
| iceroot | meanieface: yes, of course | 13:20 |

| ubottu | david__: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 13:20 |
| meanieface | n2diy: im not having the issue | 13:20 |
| david__ | ActionParsnip: i know=P | 13:21 |
| nic1 | Gnea, i will post my init script in pastebin, can you please tell me what update-rc command do i need to run exactly? | 13:21 |
| n2diy | meanieface: but, you are trying to help. | 13:21 |
| psycho_oreos | is there a way to specify gtkpod to not use xmms as xmms no longer exist? I've tried to start xmms2d but even at that is no dice and this also includes symlinking /usr/bin/xmms to /usr/bin/xmms2 | 13:21 |
| Gnea | nic1: typing: man update-rc.d will tell you what the options are for | 13:21 |
| meowmintx | ok so as i underatand things for most purposes desktop is the best | 13:21 |
| meanieface | n2diy: yes, but i'm trying to correct you when you told him it could be a bad cd | 13:21 |
| meanieface | n2diy: when he said he had gotten it to work 5 times before | 13:21 |
| ActionParsnip | david__: then why ask in her eif you know? | 13:21 |
| meowmintx | alternitave is if somehow you cant install the desktop | 13:21 |
| tame | Why won't the fonts I installed show up in open office? | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | nic1: /etc/rc.local ran as the last script from the init process. | 13:22 |
| andypiper | oh... doesn't OO.org have some separate font process? it always used to... | 13:23 |
| meowmintx | i do wish there was just one cd that could install to both i386 and amd64 comps | 13:23 |
| n2diy | meanieface: no, I said it could be the CD isn't being read by the current CD reader. There is no standard for CDs like there where for floppies, or hard disks. What is the CHS for a CD? | 13:23 |
| andypiper | haven't they sorted that out yet? *sigh* | 13:23 |
| meanieface | n2diy: if there wasn't a standard i think there'd be alot more problems out there | 13:23 |
| joaopinto | meowmintx, that is not tecnhically possible due to the CD size | 13:23 |
| meowmintx | well dvd then | 13:24 |
| meanieface | n2diy: it's fine, i see what you are trying to say but i don't agree with the statement | 13:24 |
| iceroot | n2diy: can you please stop posting incorrect informations? of course there is a cd-standard. ask the ISO | 13:24 |
| erUSUL | meowmintx: a 1.4 GiB CD ? you need double the space ;) | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | meowmintx: you can make one with a menu system and both images | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | itd be a dvd | 13:24 |
| * erUSUL nods | 13:24 | |
| tehbaut | ok, I'm trying to install something and it says to cd to the dir containing the source... ok, done | 13:24 |
| nic1 | Gnea, i went through the man page but not quiet clear | 13:24 |
| n2diy | iceroot, where is the standard, besides google? | 13:24 |
| tehbaut | now it says to run ./configure | 13:24 |
| tehbaut | can't do it | 13:24 |
| joaopinto | meanieface, that can be done, just research and build it yourself, is not a commonly requested option :) | 13:25 |
| boscop | can I do 1000 recursion levels? | 13:25 |
| tehbaut | "no such file or directory" | 13:25 |
| tehbaut | so how do I install this thing? | 13:25 |
| meanieface | joaopinto: what the heck are you talkin about | 13:25 |
| joaopinto | boscop, you mean in the directory structure ? | 13:25 |
| iceroot | n2diy: at ISO | 13:25 |
| Gnea | nic1: it gives numerous examples... | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: read the readme and install files | 13:25 |
| n2diy | meanieface: what I find surprising is there are less issues with Cds!? | 13:25 |
| joaopinto | opas was for meowmintx | 13:25 |
| iceroot | n2diy: international standard organisation | 13:25 |
| boscop | joaopinto: no, on the stack | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: not everything uses configure either | 13:25 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: I am, it's not working like it says it should | 13:25 |
| meanieface | joaopinto: haha no prob | 13:25 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: why would it tell me to run it if it doesn't need me to | 13:26 |
| joaopinto | boscop, that depends on the stack size and how many data is being pushed at each recursion | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: is there an autogen file, some apps have one of thse you need to run first | 13:26 |
| boscop | joaopinto: how can I find out how big the stack is? | 13:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: can you link me to the tar.gz and i'll see where you have to compile from | 13:26 |
| meanieface | n2diy: i'm not sure what you are gettin at but i don't think i can explain it anymore | 13:27 |
| boscop | joaopinto: I just push one int | 13:27 |
| boscop | as argument | 13:27 |
| joaopinto | boscop, I believe it's 2^32 bytes, on a 32 bits system, if you have that much RAM :) | 13:28 |
| Gnea | nic1: the first example is usually the one that works | 13:28 |
| tehbaut | ActionParsnip: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/download.php?content=97866&id=1&tan=25175142 | 13:28 |
| tehbaut | ==> TaskDock | 13:28 |
| meowmintx | over one hour to download an iso shesh | 13:28 |
| joaopinto | boscop, alsdo depends on ulimit -s | 13:29 |
| joaopinto | stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 | 13:29 |
| joaopinto | :P | 13:29 |
| n2diy | meanieface: Ok I googled it, ISO 9660, and there are a half a dozen "standards". | 13:29 |
| boscop | joaopinto: 8192 | 13:29 |
| boscop | yea | 13:29 |
| joaopinto | boscop, ulimit -s unlimited | 13:29 |
| boscop | joaopinto: but there are already functions on the stack from the OS | 13:30 |
| meanieface | n2diy: ok so you are tellin me if i burn something and it works on 10 machines but there are 3 machines that the cd doesn't work on that its the cd's fault? | 13:30 |
| meowmintx | torrent seems better for download | 13:30 |
| bliip | hi! how can i check what graphic driver I'm using? | 13:30 |
| frogzoo | meanieface: there's type 1 & type 2 cd formats, and older cds can't read the type 2 | 13:31 |
| n2diy | meanieface: or the readers fault, or a combination of both? | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | meowmintx: depends on the # shareing the torrent. might be fast... might be slow. | 13:31 |
| frogzoo | meanieface: for a cookie, I bet the 3 machines are older.. | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: there is no configure script there so I'd head straight to make | 13:31 |
| meanieface | frogzoo: then wouldn't that be a HARDWARE issue? | 13:31 |
| frogzoo | meanieface: nooo | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tehbaut: make sure you have all the -dev dependancies so you can compile it | 13:32 |
| nic1 | Gnea, i was trying starting from the second one, first one ran but with a warning saying update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/slim missing LSB information, how serious is this warning? | 13:32 |
| meowmintx | torrent is working faster than mirror | 13:32 |
| frogzoo | meanieface: well, maybe | 13:32 |
| meanieface | frogzoo: ok his words were, "cd's don't have standards" | 13:32 |
| frogzoo | meowmintx: as is usual | 13:32 |
| Hajex | is there any tool to detect problem in system ? | 13:33 |
| frogzoo | meanieface: reburn for type 1 format & see how you go | 13:33 |
| n2diy | Hajex: log files, /var/log | 13:33 |
| Gnea | nic1: not sure | 13:33 |
| meanieface | frogzoo: i'm not having the issue | 13:33 |
| frogzoo | right, I'll shut up then | 13:33 |
| Hajex | n2diy thanks | 13:33 |

| psycho_oreos | anyone used gtkpod? | 13:35 |
| meowmintx | even if torrent iso takes along time to download are they fairly stable | 13:36 |

| n2diy | Hajex:note the time of the crash, and check your log files to see what happened at that time. It is a PITA looking through all the files, but that is the only way I know how to do it. | 13:38 |
| BoxMagnet | nic1, startx | 13:39 |
| Gnea | nic1: you need to make sure the init script is written right | 13:39 |

| nic1 | Gnea, ya there is a LSB error, what is the error meaning actually? | 13:41 |

| rainie | no! | 14:02 |
| agussman | This seems really obvious, but I can't find the correct option in the manpage. rsync fails when I attempt to copy /path/to/file to a target machine if the subdir 'to' is missing. If I manually create the 'to' dir on the target machine, rsync works. How do I tell rsync to create the entire dir tree? | 14:03 |

| erUSUL | Coeus82: that should have fixed it | 14:09 |
| Vertel | Seems strange that there's no default/preferred backup system in Ubuntu, but oh well. Problem solved, one way or another. | 14:09 |
| BoxMagnet | sblunix, in apt, i find simplebackup | 14:09 |
| grawity | Take0n: Also, if you can ping it, it does not mean you can access what is hosted on port 80 - it may be forwarded to a different server, and it's the router that you ping and that returns the error. | 14:09 |
| BoxMagnet | but its not a gui? | 14:09 |

| Coeus82 | erUSUL, hmm.. doesn't seem to be the case. Yes, I just upgraded. I am on Karmic btw and I just did an upgrade today | 14:09 |
| BoxMagnet | lol. | 14:09 |
| Vertel | Dr_Willis: Granted, but it's still an odd gap. It wouldn't be particularly hard to adopt a general purpose backup utility, without getting in the way of people installing more complex backup software. | 14:10 |
| Take0n | so wait.. I am connected to the pc right now.. how should I test if it actually downloads or not? I am connected to the default 22 port | 14:10 |

| Vertel | sblunix: There's a note at the bottom of the Restore section. | 14:11 |
| Vertel | "Note: By default, restored files and directories are owned by root. This is because sbackup runs with root privileges." | 14:12 |
| Coeus82 | @erUSUL: so I guess it's probably just an issue with Karmic at the moment | 14:12 |
| sblunix | Vertel: Oh well, all I do is enter my password when it prompts me | 14:12 |
| sblunix | Vertel: I thought i had found some workaround but I'm not sure | 14:12 |
| Coeus82 | err.. but the link you sent me says the bug is fixed, weird | 14:12 |
| Vertel | Like I said, not a deal breaker. I can easily re-permission my home folder. | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | Coeus82: dunno; according to bug report seems to be fixed in al versions of ubuntu | 14:13 |
| BoxMagnet | Vertel, If I use / for backup it will get everything yes | 14:14 |
| BoxMagnet | will i then be able to copy to a new hd? | 14:14 |

| sblunix | Vertel: It says theirs an option to preserve ownership :\ | 14:14 |
| BoxMagnet | meant to ask sblunix | 14:14 |
| Vertel | BoxMagnet: Not sure on that count. On a standard Linux system I'd say yes, but I'm not sure on Ubuntu; there's a lot of files that only exist when the system is actually running, and I'm not sure what backing them up/restoring them would do. | 14:15 |

| Aviram | The effect when window is minimized/closed | 14:15 |

| ActionParsnip | kostas_thess1: does the host you are seeking have an IP on the same subnet as you are on? | 14:37 |
| indus | Alex3nder: but wait, they have official linux drivers try those | 14:37 |
| Alex3nder | can you explain to me how to apply that patch | 14:37 |
| kostas_thess1 | yes ActionParsnip | 14:37 |
| indus | Alex3nder: dont worry be happy tell me name of card again | 14:38 |

| kubanc | arUSUL: here is my error http://paste.ubuntu.com/297504 | 14:39 |
| albasheers1 | bazhang:here is the screen short http://imagebin.org/68535 | 14:39 |
| Pici | Prune: pico pretty much doesnt exist anymore, use nano instead. | 14:39 |
| pcassiano | d | 14:39 |
| indus | Alex3nder: is this a new card? | 14:40 |
| Pici | Prune: In fact, pico is a symlink to nano with nano installed. | 14:40 |
| pcassiano | Anybody from Brazil here? | 14:40 |
| Elixir | I have problem with python and yesterday it makes the system crashed and not work till I reinstall python and gnome .. I want to know how can I find the source of this problem | 14:40 |
| Prune | problem with nano, nano is on the adaptic manager, I both uninstalled and installed it, no start. don't know what problem is either. | 14:40 |
| Pici | !br | pcassiano | 14:40 |
| ubottu | pcassiano: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 14:40 |
| Gnea | Prune: what is the 'adaptic manager'? | 14:40 |
| Alex3nder | indus, no i guess its an older card... its analogue only | 14:40 |
| Prune | I want so bad to run nano, but can't get started. downloaded a new nano it won't run either | 14:40 |
| IdleOne | Gnea: I think he means Adept? maybe | 14:40 |
| Alex3nder | with support for S-Video and Composite | 14:41 |
| kostas_thess1 | any info ActionParsnip | 14:41 |
| Prune | synaptic program manager - sorry - not adaptic as I said wrong | 14:41 |
| Gnea | IdleOne: he should be precise. | 14:41 |
| cg | hello. how can i know what softwares i have installed ? like 'rpm -qa' in redhat | 14:41 |
| erUSUL | cg: dpkg -l | 14:41 |
| albasheers1 | bazhang:here is the screen short http://imagebin.org/68535 | 14:41 |
| Alex3nder | indus... i thought an older card would be better supported and so i bought this one | 14:41 |
| Gnea | Prune: once nano is installed, you just open a terminal and type: nano | 14:41 |
| Prune | cg go to System....Synaptic Program Manager | 14:41 |
| pcassiano | I'm not looking for portuguese help, I only ask for some brazilian here ;) | 14:41 |
| indus | Alex3nder: http://www.avermedia.com/AVerTV/Press/NewsDetail.aspx?Id=271 | 14:41 |
| Prune | thanks Gnea will try immediately | 14:41 |
| indus | Alex3nder: have to search and see, there are ubunt udrivers also | 14:42 |
| Pici | Prune: nano should be installed by default. sudo apt-get install nano should reinstall it if you've removed it. | 14:42 |
| erUSUL | cg: dpkg -l | grep '^i' | 14:42 |
| Gnea | pcassiano: please read what ubottu told you. | 14:42 |
| cg | Prune: erUSUL ok. thank you | 14:42 |
| Alex3nder | indus, there is no mention of my card in that page... | 14:42 |
| thijs_ | ok, so now my laptop froze up during an installation. | 14:43 |

| cg | the new version grep has the key words high light, i like it ! | 14:43 |

| nimrod | my bad. | 14:45 |
| Prune | Going to Applications...Accessories...Terminal, I typed "nano" and immediately a little GNU nano 2.0.9 started. It offered some command briefs at the bottom. I typed a little text and tried to save it, no File...Save or ...Save As commands available. Can it start in a different interface? | 14:45 |
| Alex3nder | weird shit happens in beta i guess!!! :) | 14:45 |
| nimrod | i am a newbie. | 14:45 |
| indus | Alex3nder: search ivtv forums for more info | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | kostas_thess1: if the host you are connecting to is on your lan then you may need to add a name resolution in /etc/hosts. If the system is not on your network but has the same address scheme as your lan (VPN is a good example here) then you will have to change the network address of your lan so that their are 2 seperate networks | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | Prune: crtl + O is save | 14:45 |
| Alex3nder | indus ok that might be a good start... | 14:45 |
| Alex3nder | thanks a lot indus | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | Prune: it is in the "command briefs at the bottom" | 14:45 |
| Gnea | Prune: nano is like pico, it's a commandline-based program. as such, it does not use a gui. ^ is the same as 'ctrl' | 14:45 |
| Alex3nder | i'll get back to you in a while... i'll do some digging... now... | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | Prune: it will ask for filename | 14:45 |

| indus | Alex3nder: ok good luck but remember, its karmic so file a bug, some bits of the kernel might be problematic so file immediate | 14:46 |
| FiloSottile | it is a subprocess | 14:46 |
| kostas_thess1 | is at the same pc | 14:46 |
| cg | hello. any way to know something of an package i haven't installed ? like libc6-pic, what's that ? | 14:46 |
| FiloSottile | using bash | 14:46 |
| kostas_thess1 | so ActionParsnip what to add | 14:46 |
| Alex3nder | indus, where to file the bugs for karmic? | 14:47 |

| ubottu | Alex3nder: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 14:47 |

| Aviram | Since yesterday, when I updated my ubuntu the sound has stopped working | 14:47 |
| Aviram | Anyone has an idea | 14:48 |
| Aviram | ? | 14:48 |
| MenZa | Aviram: Boot an older kernel and try that. | 14:48 |
| indus | Alex3nder: just type ubuntu-bug -p linux in a terminal and wait and watch :) | 14:48 |
| ab2qik | Hi Using jaunty, im trying to upgrade firefox 3.0 to 3.5. Firefox 3.0 is current running. Using add/remove tried to remove f.f.3.0 before installing 3.5 but said to use synaptic due dependencies. In synaptic, many entries exist for firefox. Do i need to uninstall all? | 14:48 |
| Alex3nder | MenZa, you are a really lively person aren't you? :) thanks | 14:48 |
| Aviram | MenZa How do I do that? | 14:48 |
| MenZa | Alex3nder: Rather, but indus' solution is better ;) | 14:48 |
| MenZa | Aviram: In your GRUB menu (the menu you see when you start up), you should have several kernels with the newest at the top. Try the second-newest one, i.e. the third in the list. | 14:49 |
| erUSUL | kubanc: sorry i do not see anything critical there all look like no serious errors | 14:49 |
| FiloSottile | hi. a wine program launchs a videogame and returns, how to wait for game to close in bash? it is a subprocess of the launcher? | 14:49 |

| Aviram | mkcottle | 14:50 |
| Aviram | PM | 14:50 |
| Pici | nic1: What error? | 14:50 |
| Prune | I guess I'm going to have to live with gedit, which does work, and can save a file up to a server, which is what I want. I was able to specify a filename for what I had just typed in nano, so I did get the file saved. But then there were no options in pico for where to save the file, which defeated my purpose of saving it up to a server. Thank you. | 14:50 |
| MenZa | !pm | Aviram | 14:50 |
| ubottu | Aviram: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

| Aviram | MenZa, I sent him a solution | 14:50 |

| MenZa | Aviram: Give him a solution here instead. | 14:50 |
| MenZa | So we can all contribute from it. | 14:51 |
| nic1 | Pici, file2 is an extra operand it says | 14:51 |

| Aviram | It has solutions for all HP Pavilion problems, solved mine atleast | 14:51 |
| Pici | nic1: does either filename have spaces in it? | 14:51 |
| mkcottle | checking it out, thanks Aviram. | 14:51 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | sorry but ubuntu sucks in server's job | 14:51 |
| Prune | whose application is gedit? It seems to be operating in my ubuntu as the default editor. Which is good becaue it has what I want and has some plug-ins I just found that I didn't know that | 14:51 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: you don't have to use it, use whatever you want | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | kostas_thess1: i'd add the name resolution to /etc/hosts to see if that makes it better | 14:52 |
| MenZa | mkcottle: Do you need help with something, or are you simply here to rant? | 14:52 |
| MenZa | mkcottle* | 14:52 |
| Pici | MenZa: psst, wrong person | 14:52 |

| bazhang | M4K4V3l1_, please continue in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:53 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: you're free to have that opinion. But this channel is for support, so take your rant elsewhere | 14:53 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | jrib: I made a lot of issue here.. but no response | 14:54 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | so what can I do more ? | 14:54 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: you aren't asking a support question now. Maybe try to ask one? | 14:54 |
| MenZa | !commercial | M4K4V3l1_ | 14:54 |

| indus | MenZa: :D | 14:55 |

| ActionParsnip | kostas_thess1: ok now restart networking and see how you go | 14:55 |

| sdwrage | Hey all | 14:58 |
| albasheers | I am using ubuntu intrepid and have inserted edubuntu 9.04 ,it autoplayed then add/remove application opened after that I removed edubuntu cd ,but now I am getting this " not all updates can be installed " , can anybody tell me how can I fix this ,I don't want to upgrade to ubuntu jaunty | 14:58 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, is the host alive/? | 14:59 |
| indus | sdwrage: hellooo | 14:59 |
| sdwrage | where is the most common place to put downloads that you need to compile? | 14:59 |
| kostas_thess1 | blackxored yes | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | indus: you wish ;) | 14:59 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, so it's on the same subnet? | 14:59 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: The source code can go wherver you want it to. organize it hopw you see fit. | 14:59 |
| kostas_thess1 | i connect to the machine over the internet | 14:59 |
| kostas_thess1 | via putty | 14:59 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: what you pastebinned doesn't show anything wrong | 14:59 |
| sdwrage | Dr_Willis, k... thought there may be a standard :P | 14:59 |
| kostas_thess1 | so its alive:p | 15:00 |
| mkcottle | Aviram, tried the command line sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty as suggested... replies with E: Couldn't find package linux-backports-modules-jaunty . | 15:00 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, that wasn't what I asked the host you're targetting in on the same subnet as you're? | 15:00 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | it's simple and basic configuration | 15:00 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | ok it's in public so everybody is concerned.. thx | 15:00 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | by the why I am using intrepid too | 15:00 |
| indus | albasheers: it wont update to 9.04 | 15:00 |
| M4K4V3l1_ | jrib: that's it.. so where is the problem.. this is the question | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | sdwrage: when compiling stuff from source theres no standard. :) just common practices.. you can oranize things how ever you want. Make a Projects dir.. make a dir called Source.. or Not... | 15:00 |
| kostas_thess1 | when you say the same subnet you say the subnet at pc and subnet at this pc i am now? | 15:00 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: what *is* the problem? | 15:00 |
| indus | albasheers: just do a sudo apt-get update and it should disappear | 15:00 |
| albasheers | indus : I tried it , but not working | 15:01 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, I say something like you being 192.168.100.1 and your target 192.168.100.129 | 15:01 |
| indus | albasheers: not working means whattt | 15:01 |
| Aviram | Internet is online? mkcottle? | 15:01 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, if it not then you have to check your gateway with "route -n" | 15:01 |
| mkcottle | no - that's the problem. wireless digital switch isn't on | 15:01 |
| dratone | what if you try apt-cache search linux-backports-modules-jaunty ? | 15:01 |
| Aviram | so connect it using a cable | 15:01 |
| mkcottle | I can try that dratone. | 15:01 |
| jrib | M4K4V3l1_: maybe this helps you: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/network-file-system.html | 15:02 |

| linden940 | yea | 15:02 |
| blackxored | kostas_thess1, so you have a default gateway try a traceroute to the host | 15:02 |

| indus | albasheers: ok saw it | 15:03 |

| Dr_Willis | skuld: if you are connecting to the internet via a router. You will need tos set up proper port fowarding on the router. | 15:04 |
| indus | albasheers: also go to system>administration>software sources and remove cd rom | 15:04 |
| linden940 | thiebaude, do u know of a good dock? | 15:04 |

| blackxored | kostas_thess1, no, it's outgoing traffic which is being filtered, it's hard to tell without seeing your tables, but that may be the problem | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Solar_Flares: thats what the topic says. :) | 15:13 |

| * indus patience is a virtue | 15:17 | |
| ooboontoo | meanieface tried that already. The issue with that is the scripts are pointing to /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness, but those files dont exist | 15:17 |
| Solar_Flares | indus: yeah, grub loads, selecting windows, windows startx and crashes after the... boot screen. you know, that little blue thing that goes from right to left... | 15:17 |

| ooboontoo | meanieface on this laptop the files are /proc/acpi/video/GFX0/DD0(x)/brightness, and the brightness file only has <not supported> | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Darkomen: try it and see is the ultimate answer.. I would guess.. its going to be sluggish. | 15:18 |
| indus | Solar_Flares: check if in bios, plug and play O/S is set to no ,( if u have such an option that is) | 15:18 |
| Solar_Flares | indus: so its like "hard men dont make backups, but cry often." | 15:18 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface the part that gets me, is this was a common laptop, and other users experience the ability to change the brightness level, but I cant | 15:18 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: what is the laptop brand? | 15:18 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: and model | 15:18 |

| Hick0rd | Hello, I installed ubuntu tweak few days ago, it doesnt work as it should be, and caused synaptic not to function at all, making me unable to update my pc. I tried to use all codes , such as sudo apt-get remove, --purge, and none of them worked. I tried to change the status file in usr/share/ubuntu-tweak, and the status file was found to be read only and impossible to modify. how can i get rid of ubuntu tweak and retain my pc as it was? | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | SPhcT: drive names are /dev/sd## normally. 'ata' is proberly the kind of connection it has | 15:42 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: oh i see the backlight | 15:43 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface even the last post "That's not really the same thing. That's just increasing the color saturation; and not actually brightening the LCD's backlight, resulting in a significant difference in appearance." | 15:43 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: yah i just read that | 15:43 |
| junruh | I don't like your meaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 15:43 |
| Alex3nder | hey Dr_Willis can you take a look at this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/86408 please... : ) | 15:43 |
| StaRetji | kubanc: Why? | 15:43 |
| mescal | hi everybody I take an old computer to make a ubuntu working station but i have a problem with the sis drivers | 15:44 |
| StaRetji | kubanc: Because of the performance? If you are using Jaunty it is safe to add this repo and upgrade dude | 15:44 |
| mescal | i run on a 22" and my resolution max is 800*600 sniff | 15:44 |
| mescal | if i try to modify the configuration file X crash | 15:45 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: seems as after the breezy distro the function keys got messed up | 15:45 |
| kubanc | StaRetji, bacause in 9.04 i had a white screen when i log into gnome, so i did what it said in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance, and white screen went away | 15:45 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface haha aye, but i dont want to go back to breezy | 15:45 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: don't blame ya | 15:46 |
| StaRetji | kubanc: That is history mate, and if something goes wrong you can always roll back to 2.4 | 15:46 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface i started ubuntu on breezy, oh man the headaches | 15:46 |

| monkey_boy26 | i need to create a file .img | 15:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Hick0rd: if you installed it with the package manager system or .deb packages you can use the package manager to remove it | 15:50 |
| monkey_boy26 | so i can mount it later in a directory | 15:50 |
| monkey_boy26 | how do i create it? | 15:50 |

| monkey_boy26 | so i can later mount this image in a folder | 15:52 |
| babak | how can solve this problem? http://pastebin.com/m1313173d | 15:52 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: you can use 'dd' to image a partition to a file. | 15:52 |
| monkey_boy26 | i want to image just this folder: /boot | 15:52 |
| StaRetji | Hick0rd, sudo dpkg -P ubuntu-tweak | 15:52 |
| kubanc | StaRetji, ok, I'll do this now, and tell you what's the status in a few minutes :) | 15:52 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: have you tried the gnome-power-manager? | 15:52 |
| StaRetji | kubanc, good luck, cross fingers :) | 15:52 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface Yeah, I set all the settings to keep the brightness at high at all times, but if i unplug the laptop and turn it on, it will set the brightness to low every time | 15:53 |
| mescal | didi you try the dd command ? | 15:53 |
| StaRetji | kubanc, make sure it is right repo, let me copy my own, wait a sec | 15:53 |
| mescal | monkaey | 15:53 |
| meanieface | ooboontoo: grrr | 15:53 |
| monkey_boy26 | yep | 15:53 |
| ooboontoo | meanieface I wouldnt care about being able to change the brightness at all, if it just stayed at max, because thats how i like it | 15:53 |
| monkey_boy26 | it's not working | 15:53 |
| Pici | babak: Install the build-essential package: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 15:53 |
| monkey_boy26 | cause i just want to backup /boot | 15:53 |

| StaRetji | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu jaunty main | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: then you should just put /boot files in a archive and be done with it. | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: not sure why you are trying todo all this... | 15:54 |
| monkey_boy26 | it's my homework | 15:54 |

| tiga | hi, I have an old ext3 hard drive from a redhat machine. The boot and swap partitions are good, but the root partition doesn't get recognized as ext3. I've used dd to copy the partition to my machine. Which tools can I use to recover the data off this drive? | 15:54 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: then You should clarify the question.. you are a bit vague on specifics. | 15:55 |
| monkey_boy26 | i need to backup /boot in a file boot.img and then mount this image in a folder | 15:55 |
| kubanc | StaRetji, shoudl i do first update and upgrade, and restart gdm | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: you caould make a filesystem in a file. then copy the files over. | 15:55 |
| kubanc | StaRetji, or should i update, upgrade, change xorg.conf and restart gmd ? | 15:55 |
| monkey_boy26 | how do i make that? | 15:55 |
| slabbeh | My partitions are currently ext3, is there going to be a way for me to convert these to ext4 when 9.10 arrives. | 15:55 |
| slabbeh | ? | 15:55 |
| Dr_Willis | monkey_boy26: perhaps read your class notes.. You sould use 'dd' and 'mkfs' and mount. and 'cp' | 15:55 |
| monkey_boy26 | that the problem | 15:56 |
| monkey_boy26 | i can't use mkfs | 15:56 |
| monkey_boy26 | in debian benny | 15:56 |
| mescal | where i can find the configuration files for the eggdrop irc bot bot installed with apt-get plz ? | 15:56 |
| StaRetji | kubanc, i wouldn't go that far, just apt-get update and apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm-intel1 should be enough, than change xorg.conf and the reboot | 15:56 |
| monkey_boy26 | it says command not found | 15:56 |
| monkey_boy26 | i tried installing all the packages | 15:56 |
| monkey_boy26 | but still couldn't use mkfs | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | $ mkfs | 15:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Usage: mkfs [-V] [-t fstype] [fs-options] device [size] | 15:57 |
| Pici | monkey_boy26: If you're using debian then you should be asking in #debian | 15:57 |

| rohtie | hxwxwhxhxa: Then you're pretty fucked | 16:14 |
| equinox_ | rsk just complain.. dont think there are answers to that | 16:14 |
| Pici | Alex3nder: Most channels aren't as busy as this one, and I don't use asnwers, so I'm afraid I can't answer that one. | 16:14 |
| rohtie | rsk: They are laptop speakers | 16:14 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | rohtie: thanks :) | 16:14 |
| rsk | equinox_: there is, would you be intrested? | 16:14 |
| Pici | rohtie: Please mind your language here. | 16:14 |
| ruby_on_tails | hello | 16:14 |
| rohtie | Pici: Sorry | 16:15 |
| equinox_ | sure bless me.. rsk | 16:15 |
| rohtie | hxwxwhxhxa: YOu should try aksing someone else. I'm still a newbie :3 | 16:15 |
| conb123 | Ceil: Well how long have you had it maybe some of the components have just gone bad | 16:15 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | rohtie: ok, thanks anyway! | 16:15 |
| Alex3nder | Pici thanks anyway! :) | 16:15 |

| ruby_on_tails | I want to know about the practical uses and power of bash scripting, anyone can let me know a good reading material ? | 16:15 |
| rsk | equinox_: packages are updated twice a year, with some exceptions. like firefox usually gets a new version when it's out. + all other packages always gets security updates. | 16:15 |
| rohtie | does anyone know how i can disable my speakers when my headphones are plugged in? | 16:15 |
| prince_jammys | ruby_on_tails: /join #bash | 16:16 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | how can i solve error "Dependency not satisfied"? | 16:16 |
| rsk | equinox_: software center is just a publicity stunt i think, but it works good i think. | 16:16 |
| jrib | ruby_on_tails: tldp.org ask #bash too | 16:16 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | how can i solve error "Dependency not satisfiable"? | 16:16 |
| ruby_on_tails | aah k thanks | 16:16 |
| rsk | equinox_: what problems with drivers? also flash it not ubuntu's fault it's adobe who make it. | 16:16 |
| Ceil | conb123: It is probably 7 or 8 years old. I have only owned it for 2 months. Most recently I had it up for 3 days. I suspect (as is the pattern) if I rebooted it right now it would run fine for at least a couple hours. What components going bad would cause a problem like this?? | 16:16 |
| rsk | equinox_: and what do you mean by weird boot? | 16:16 |
| SPhcT | i have 3 hard drives pluged in but i cant mount them can u say comand what can mount? | 16:17 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | how can i solve error "Dependency not satisfiable"? | 16:17 |
| khtaam | hxwxwhxhxa, have you downloaded a deb file? | 16:17 |
| Ziber | What would I do about http://zpaste.org/388 ? | 16:17 |
| rohtie | hxwxwhxhxa: I just thought of something. YOu could search for the package on the internet. Their dependencies are mostly there | 16:17 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | khtaam: yes | 16:17 |
| equinox_ | rsk, for example, since xp, have nver been successful with dual boot.. | 16:17 |
| nickapalooza | Ceil: most likely the HDD, possibly some RAM | 16:17 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | rohtie: ok | 16:17 |
| conb123 | Ceil: Well hard drives start to break enevtually | 16:17 |
| jrib | ruby_on_tails: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/using/bash is kind of interesting to go through and understand some of the complicated ones | 16:17 |
| andypiper | is the Ubuntu One service enabled yet? when I start the app on Karmic it sends me to a launchpad auth page, but clicking ok returns an error | 16:17 |
| equinox_ | rsk you install and setup grub to pick up your windows partition | 16:17 |
| SPhcT | need help with hard drives | 16:17 |
| Pici | Alex3nder : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion. | 16:18 |
| khtaam | hxwxwhxhxa, run: sudo dpkg -i <debfile> in i terminal | 16:18 |

| Pici | Alex3nder: sorry, mistab | 16:18 |
| mayajowo | alow | 16:18 |
| equinox_ | once you reboot, and boot back into ubunut, windows won't start any more | 16:18 |
| Ceil | conb123: nickapalooza: Great! Thanks guys! :) I was baffled because none of my logs had any errors. I'll try replacing those parts first. Thanks again! :) | 16:18 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | khtaam: and this will install it without any questions? xD | 16:18 |
| Pici | andypiper: #ubuntu+1 for Karmic issues please. | 16:18 |
| nickapalooza | Ceil: np | 16:18 |
| rsk | equinox_: i've never had that problem so i can't give any insight on it | 16:18 |
| khtaam | hxwxwhxhxa, no, but it should show the dependencys | 16:18 |
| Ziber | What would I do about http://zpaste.org/388 ? | 16:18 |
| hxwxwhxhxa | khtaam: haha, okay, going to try it | 16:19 |
| apparle | jrib: I have downloaded a source and compiling it.... and the site says use 3.4 .....so what to do | 16:19 |
| jrib | apparle: did you read the link I gave you that answers your question? | 16:19 |
| skuld | does anybody know what the terminal command is to see my iptables? | 16:19 |
| SPhcT | Pici kac you say how mount if i get eror m unable to mount volume storge | 16:19 |

| LuciusMare | Hello,when i want to print something,everything black is printed in small lines,not one big black area,but like 3 lines per inch.I have Epson stylus DX4000. | 16:19 |
| jrib | !iptables > skuld | 16:19 |
| ubottu | skuld, please see my private message | 16:19 |

| mayajowo | ubuntu | 16:20 |

| skuld | sometimes I hate mirc. I don't see any pm's | 16:20 |
| SPhcT | Pici so i have 3 hard drives from windows and i want save files but i cant mount one.. | 16:20 |
| jrib | skuld: use a decent client then... | 16:20 |
| nickapalooza | skuld: sounds should let you know? | 16:20 |
| conb123 | So guys do you know of any way i can convert my ext4 partition to ext3 in jaunty? | 16:20 |
| equinox_ | rsk also another weird thing, whenver i turn off by computer, there's this screen that comes up, as if the screen was dead | 16:20 |
| LuciusMare | anyone,please? | 16:20 |
| mugwort13 | Has anyone had problems with file permissions when uploading to a windows based web server? | 16:21 |
| equinox_ | rsk it shows up like some black patches, with some yellow white., | 16:21 |
| apparle | jrib: did not understand it..... and there is a package gcc-3.4 but there is not package like g++-3.4 | 16:21 |
| equinox_ | rsk can't quite explain.. you know what.. will comeback with a better compiled list of the troubles and details on how to recreate them | 16:21 |
| LuciusMare | Hello,when i want to print something,everything black is printed in small lines,not one big black area,but like 3 lines per inch.I have Epson stylus DX4000. | 16:21 |
| conb123 | LuciusMare: have you tried replacing the ink? | 16:21 |
| jrib | apparle: that's a pretty ridiculous claim to be honest, I'm sorry | 16:21 |
| LuciusMare | conb123: its new | 16:21 |
| Jeruvy | mugwort13: its pretty common, even on ubuntu systems :) | 16:22 |
| === malnilion__ is now known as malnilion | ||
| conb123 | LuciusMare: So get a refund then | 16:22 |
| nickapalooza | LuciusMare: sounds like the ink cartridge | 16:22 |
| jrib | apparle: read the line that starts "For example" | 16:22 |
| nickapalooza | i would get a replacement | 16:22 |
| SPhcT | Pici so i have 3 hard drives from windows and i want save files but i cant mount one.. | 16:22 |
| LuciusMare | i would bet its driver error,it does not even send me information about cartridges. | 16:22 |
| LuciusMare | but whatever | 16:22 |
| jrib | apparle: gcc-3.4 includes g++ | 16:22 |
| LuciusMare | going to try under windows,coming back in...5 mins? | 16:22 |
| Pici | SPhcT: Ask the channel, I'm a bit busy at the moment, sorry. | 16:23 |
| nickapalooza | he asks for help but has his own ideas :/ | 16:23 |
| jrib | apparle: why don't you step back and tell us what you are compiling? | 16:23 |
| SPhcT | i have 3 hard drives from windows and i want save files but i cant mount one.. | 16:23 |
| skuld | oh I see it! it was buried in another window! thanks! | 16:23 |
| apparle | jrib: ohh... actually the 'make' already looks for g++ 3.4 but I din't find the package so I asked | 16:23 |
| conb123 | SPhcT: Which ubuntu version are you using? | 16:23 |
| SPhcT | 8.10 | 16:24 |
| SPhcT | conb123 8.10 | 16:24 |
| conb123 | SPhct: Try doing an fdisk -l, then find the windows partitions (ntfs or fat) then just do sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /PARTITION -o force | 16:25 |
| conb123 | SPhcT: Sorry probably should have said you have to do sudo fdisk -l | 16:25 |
| epaphus | Hello, is it possible to install the base (and only the base) from the alternate cd? | 16:26 |
| rsk | equinox_: sure | 16:26 |
| conb123 | epaphus: Yeah | 16:26 |
| tavi | hy | 16:26 |
| tavi | i have problems whit my print | 16:26 |
| synackfin | does anyone know why linux is auto-negotiating some disks as 1.5Gbps and others at 3.0Gbps from my DAS (using sil24 module)? The disks are all identical 2TB drives, and it's a single eSata connection | 16:26 |
| epaphus | conb123, but with the regular cd.. it isnt possible right? the deskptop one | 16:26 |
| synackfin | i'm running linux software raid5 on the disks, and it's causing corruption (mdadm detects the corruption and randomly disables disks depending on which one got auto-negotiated at 1.5Gbps) | 16:26 |
| SPhcT | conb123 it find out sda and sdb? thats right? | 16:26 |
| Pici | epaphus: No. You'd need the minimal CD for that. The alternate CD does not allow you to pick what packages you want. | 16:26 |
| tavi | print same page that i have printed few days ago ...and not the one i want now | 16:27 |
| tavi | any ideea? | 16:27 |
| conb123 | epaphus: no with the live cd it is not but with the laternate you can choose the packages | 16:27 |
| conb123 | epaphus: oh sorry thought it did my bad | 16:27 |
| mikebeecham1 | hi guys....is there a Microsoft Publisher alternative for Ubuntu? | 16:28 |
| SPhcT | conb123 uhm... so under Device Boot is sda1, sda2 under another Device boot is sdb1 | 16:29 |
| Pici | mikebeecham1: scribus comes to mind as a possible alternative. Its in the repos. | 16:29 |
| mikebeecham1 | will look now Pici | 16:29 |
| mikebeecham1 | thanks | 16:29 |
| kelohippi1 | is inkscape the best available vector graphix program for linux? | 16:30 |
| preecher | does ubuntu 9.04 come with different window managers | 16:30 |
| Pici | preecher: It comes with compiz and metacity by default. There are others in the repositories if you want to install them. | 16:31 |
| preecher | Pici, thx | 16:32 |

| ruby_on_tails | what will happen if I do kill init in my terminal ? | 16:36 |
| conb123 | Does anyone know of a way for me to convert my ext4 partition to ext3 in jaunty? | 16:36 |
| prince_jammys | you hopefully get a permission denied error. | 16:37 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: If init receives SIGINT, it will act the same as if Ctrl-Alt-Del was pressed. | 16:37 |
| SPhcT | conb123 ntfs-3g shows some error | 16:37 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: Other signals are ignored by init, AFAIK. | 16:37 |
| conb123 | SPhct: It does? What error? | 16:38 |
| preecher | i found a page describing how to download other desktops such as KDE andenlightenment--if i install these will i still be able to use and have my gnome if i dont like them | 16:38 |
| ruby_on_tails | bash: kill: (1) - Operation not permitted | 16:38 |
| ruby_on_tails | how can I kill init ? | 16:38 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: Well, you need root to kill any process that you do not own. | 16:38 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm | 16:38 |
| joaopinto | and killing init is a very bad idea | 16:38 |
| llutz | why should one want to kill init? | 16:39 |
| ruby_on_tails | for curiosity | 16:39 |
| grawity | joaopinto: I'll just let him find that out yourself. | 16:39 |
| prince_jammys | boredom | 16:39 |
| grawity | himself* | 16:39 |
| ruby_on_tails | I tried it out | 16:39 |
| ruby_on_tails | nothing happened lol | 16:39 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: Like I already said, init just ignores some signals. | 16:40 |
| ruby_on_tails | hmm | 16:40 |
| SPhcT | conb123 about names subtree | 16:40 |
| grawity | In other words, read the damn manpage. | 16:40 |
| ruby_on_tails | I thought it will do a shut down or something | 16:40 |
| ruby_on_tails | got this > http://codepad.org/2dqoj2xi | 16:40 |
| conb123 | SPhct: Well can i see the whole thing? | 16:40 |
| ruby_on_tails | joaopinto: it can have ill effects ? | 16:41 |
| ludovic | probleme de connexion wifi | 16:41 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: 'kill' only takes pids, not process names. | 16:41 |
| joaopinto | ruby_on_tails, for curiosity, you should read something about Linux processes and signals, you would learn much more and actually understand what you are trying to do | 16:41 |
| SPhcT | conb123 i wrote sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 -o force is this right? | 16:41 |
| Otacon22Uni | Does enyone knows how to log ssh access on sshd? | 16:41 |
| grawity | Otacon22Uni: Connections are already logged to syslog | 16:41 |
| ruby_on_tails | grawity: I did kill 1 1 was the PID for init | 16:41 |
| conb123 | SPhcT: yep should be as long as that is an ntfs partition | 16:41 |
| datz | where is the default screenshot program? | 16:42 |
| SPhcT | conb123 it is on another pc.. | 16:42 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: And what did it say? | 16:42 |
| grawity | datz: gnome-screenshot | 16:42 |
| ruby_on_tails | grawity: what I pasted just not | 16:42 |
| ruby_on_tails | now* | 16:42 |
| datz | How can I make a shortcut to it? | 16:42 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: That is really _not_ what it says on 'kill 1'. | 16:42 |
| Otacon22Uni | grawity, where exactly? | 16:42 |
| Otacon22Uni | wich file? | 16:42 |
| mo0nykit | datz: i think it is ctrl-printscrn by default | 16:42 |
| ruby_on_tails | grawity: sudo kill 1 | 16:42 |
| llutz | Otacon22Uni: maybe you'll have to cahnge "LogLevel" | 16:42 |
| llutz | change* | 16:43 |
| grawity | Otacon22Uni: Depends on your syslog config, but usually /var/log/auth.log | 16:43 |
| Otacon22Uni | llutz, in sshd_conf? | 16:43 |

| conb123 | SPhcT: How can it be on another pc? | 16:43 |
| grawity | ruby_on_tails: I have a reason to not believe you. | 16:43 |
| apparle | why there isn't g++-3.4 for intrepid and onwards | 16:43 |
| joaopinto | ruby_on_tails, please read "man kill" | 16:43 |
| ruby_on_tails | grawity: ? well...why would I lie lol | 16:43 |
| SPhcT | conb123 i mean eror | 16:43 |
| simon__ | hi | 16:43 |
| datz | grawity, I want to take a screenshot when rotating desktop cube. | 16:43 |
| mo0nykit | datz: take a look at system --> preferences --> keyboard shortcuts. it's there | 16:43 |
| conb123 | SPhcT: What??? | 16:44 |
| simon__ | hi people | 16:44 |
| nickapalooza | HI MAN | 16:44 |
| nickapalooza | HOW AREYOU | 16:44 |
| simon__ | fine and you | 16:44 |
| datz | mo0nykit, well ok.. shortbut is print screen button, although it doesn work when rotating cube | 16:44 |
| SPhcT | conb123 i have 1 pc to internet and another what im fixing not connected | 16:44 |
| nickapalooza | doing well i reckon | 16:44 |
| simon__ | oh i see | 16:45 |
| conb123 | SPhcT: Right so what has that got to do with it? | 16:45 |
| simon__ | where are you from | 16:45 |
| mo0nykit | datz: oh.. i haven't tried that on the cube.. in my case, doing a printscreen brings up a dialog box asking where to save your image. give it a try. maybe the dialog box comes up after you release the cube | 16:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | datz, screenshot compiz cube -- use gnome screenshot tool and set the dely to a few seconds - then stage your cube in the few seconds before the delay runs out. Good luck. | 16:46 |
| datz | mo0nykit, nope tried it | 16:46 |
| datz | ZykoticK9, thanks | 16:46 |

| BoxMagnet | SPhcT, lol | 16:50 |
| SPhcT | conb123 i wrote "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 -o force" | 16:50 |

| dan_ | okay. i tried installing the desktop version of Ubuntu. it shows the Ubuntu logo, a line travels across the screen under the logo, then everything goes blank. | 16:51 |
| isaac_ | Alsa update wont work. I've clicked on everything and it wont compile..... | 16:51 |
| duffydack | datz, prntscrn button doesnt work for you while rotating cube? does for me. | 16:51 |
| dan_ | my cdrom still reads the cd, but no video. | 16:51 |
| Hajuu | Hey guys, is there a dedicated channel for ubuntu cloud server distro? | 16:51 |
| dan_ | i have 2 Radeon X1950 cards. | 16:51 |
| BoxMagnet | dan_, what happens when you hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 16:52 |
| SPhcT | BoxMagnet do i need -o force? | 16:52 |
| BoxMagnet | dan_, you might need to take 1 out till its configured | 16:52 |
| dan_ | well i've never tried that. is that a standard solution for video problems? | 16:52 |
| BoxMagnet | SPhcT, i never used it but what does -o do? | 16:52 |
| Hajuu | Ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X | 16:52 |
| Hajuu | thats all | 16:52 |
| dan_ | okay, take one out. | 16:52 |
| BoxMagnet | dan_, pretty sure. could be wrong? | 16:52 |
| dan_ | oh i see. | 16:52 |
| BoxMagnet | !dualvideo | 16:52 |

| BoxMagnet | dan_, ubuntu is probably confused lol | 16:53 |
| Hajuu | Hey guys, is there a dedicated channel for ubuntu cloud server distro? | 16:53 |
| BoxMagnet | SPhcT, what are you trying to do exactly. | 16:53 |
| conb123 | SphcT: Oh of course i forgot to mention the mount point | 16:53 |
| dan_ | i'll try it right now, and i'll be back to let you know what happens. | 16:53 |
| === anthony is now known as Guest13420 | ||
| conb123 | SphcT: Just do something like sudo mkdir /media/disk, then do sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/disk -o force | 16:54 |
| SPhcT | conb123 what is mount point? | 16:54 |
| isaac_ | Alsa update wont work. I've clicked on everything and it wont compile..... | 16:54 |
| SPhcT | ok | 16:54 |
| BoxMagnet | conb123, -o force is no longer used | 16:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | SPhcT, don't do the "/sudo mkdir /media/disk" that's where the automounter mounts things - you don't want directories in there. use /mnt instead. | 16:54 |
| === driftwood2 is now known as drift-away | ||
| BoxMagnet | conb123, force This mount option is not used anymore. It was superseded by the | 16:55 |

| Hajuu | so ill take you guys silence as "I've never even heard of ubuntu cloud server let alone having a seperate room" ? | 16:55 |
| conb123 | BoxMagnet: It was oh right | 16:55 |
| preecher | Hajuu, there is a ubuntu server channel | 16:55 |
| isaac_ | Alsa update wont work. I've clicked on everything and it wont compile..... | 16:55 |
| Pici | Hajuu: #ubuntu-server | 16:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hajuu, as in #ubuntu-server | 16:55 |
| Hajuu | thanks Pici, preecher, ZykoticK9 | 16:55 |

| SPhcT | conb123 ok i did it tywm | 16:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | SPhcT, in that case - go for it - won't make a difference after you reboot then :) | 16:57 |

| ArasTa | guys ...how to share files with my XP as guest on vbox ? | 17:01 |
| beli | i fetched sources with apt-get build-deps postfix and get this error using make makefiles.......i want to setup some more config options...but it also fails with plain make makefiles | 17:01 |
| jrib | ArasTa: did you check out the vbox documentation? It has pretty explicit directions | 17:02 |
| ArasTa | jrib, nope | 17:02 |
| jrib | !source > beli | 17:02 |
| ubottu | beli, please see my private message | 17:02 |
| Floyd | you have to install guest additions | 17:02 |
| jrib | ArasTa: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#sharedfolders | 17:02 |
| Floyd | arasta, you have to install guest additions on your virtual machine | 17:03 |
| isaac_ | does anyone know of a good netbook where everything just works with ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| jrib | beli: that should tell you the proper way to rebuild a package | 17:03 |
| rsk | isaac_: there's some that comes with linux pre-installed, that's a good bet :p | 17:03 |
| beli | jrib: i dit it that way | 17:03 |
| ArasTa | Floyd, i did install the gest additions | 17:03 |
| datz | ZykoticK9, thanks.. "sleep 10; gnome-screenshot" worked awesome | 17:04 |
| isaac_ | the only netbooks i've seen are dells with version 8.xx | 17:04 |
| jrib | beli: then you need to give the channel more details. Pastebin exactly what you are doing (commands you run, edits you made) | 17:04 |
| ArasTa | =| jrib, Floyd in fact i want to ping from my ubuntu to my guest xp | 17:04 |
| ArasTa | using vbox | 17:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | datz, :) glad it worked for ya - it works for me too ;) | 17:04 |
| ArasTa | so how to do that ? | 17:04 |
| Floyd | then you have to share via samba your linux folders | 17:04 |
| BoxMagnet | how can simple backup work in ubuntu when it copies /usr/bin but not the programs inside??????? | 17:05 |
| jrib | ArasTa: I gave you specific directions to read, did you read them? | 17:05 |
| beli | jrib: i am following the postfixvirtual tutorial....http://www.postfixvirtual.net/postfixvirtual.html | 17:05 |
| ArasTa | jrib, i've to read all that ?? | 17:05 |
| jrib | ArasTa: yeah 2 minutes worth of reading isn't going to kill you... | 17:06 |
| duffydack | isaac_, Ive got a dell mini 9 that works fine.. its got 9.10 NBR at the moment.. | 17:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, look into copying with recursive feature enabled. mv does this automatically but copy (cp) does not - if that's what command you're using. good luck. | 17:06 |

| BoxMagnet | ZykoticK9, no its, simple backup suite, a gui for sbackup | 17:07 |
| isaac_ | i mean if something came with 8.xx will it run good with the latest version of ubuntu? | 17:07 |
| ArasTa | jrib, ok | 17:07 |
| BoxMagnet | ZykoticK9, it has a list of packages, but why not just copy the /usr/bin/files | 17:07 |
| Ag0X | hello | 17:07 |
| === nik0 is now known as niko | ||
| duffydack | isaac_, it was 8.04 because 8.10 was still new and 8.04 is an LTS.. dell supply their own repo and updates | 17:08 |
| beli | jrib: i've done exactly what the tutorial says... | 17:08 |
| Ag0X | need some help monodevelop2 not stoping on breakpoints | 17:08 |
| Ag0X | anyone can help me please + | 17:08 |
| duffydack | isaac_, and yes its fine with newer ubuntus.. Ive had 8.10, 9.04 and now 9.10 on it with no problems.. | 17:08 |
| Floyd | arasta, tell me exactly what you want to do and if i can i will help you | 17:08 |
| iceroot | Ag0X: #mono maybe | 17:08 |
| jrib | beli: I don't find a singe mention of dpkg or apt in the page you linked, so you are doing it wrong then. | 17:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, sorry don't know anything about sbackup - though you'd written a simple script for backup and cp might have been giving you troubles. hope someone else knows. | 17:08 |
| Ag0X | iceroot: thanks | 17:08 |
| ArasTa | Floyd, i want ping from my Ubuntu to my XP ..with XP is installed on vbox | 17:09 |
| beli | jrib: i just fetched the sources via apt-get source postfix and apt-get build-dep postfix | 17:09 |
| BoxMagnet | ZykoticK9, i might be writing one soon...... | 17:09 |
| ArasTa | that's all | 17:09 |
| duffydack | isaac_, I dont know about any other makes of netbook, this is my first... had it a while | 17:09 |
| beli | jrib: anything else has been done like the tutorial | 17:09 |
| isaac_ | cool well if i can't get the new alsa working right now i'll just go get one of those other laptops instead | 17:09 |
| jrib | beli: pastebin what *you* actually did. I have to go though | 17:09 |
| isaac_ | thanks all | 17:09 |
| HardDisk | netbook os's include easy peasy, kuki linux, crunchbang | 17:09 |
| beli | thats what i did...fetched the sources and entered the commands from the tutorial | 17:10 |
| Hajuu | <isaac_> cool well if i can't get the new alsa working right now i'll just go get one of those other laptops instead | 17:10 |
| Hajuu | wtf kind of solution is that | 17:10 |
| prarage | isaac_: which version of alsa are you running? | 17:10 |
| beli | so why repaste it...its exactly the same | 17:10 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, what lol | 17:10 |
| HardDisk | :) | 17:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, typically /usr/bin (and /usr/local/bin/ ) aren't high priorities for backup for me personally - i'm more interested in the packages then the binaries themselves. best of luck. | 17:10 |
| HardDisk | I'm just advertising ubuntu derivatives. | 17:10 |
| jrib | beli: well that tutorial has you compiling a bunch of things you don't need to compile. You did that? | 17:10 |
| BoxMagnet | ZykoticK9, will the packages run without the binaries !? | 17:10 |
| isaac_ | im running the 1.9 something something version | 17:10 |
| BoxMagnet | ZykoticK9, am i missing something | 17:10 |
| Hajuu | Yeah | 17:10 |
| Hajuu | backup packages | 17:11 |
| Floyd | wait i will try it | 17:11 |
| beli | jrib: sure...all under /usr/local and installed it....worked like a charme up to compiling postfix | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | not bin files | 17:11 |
| dan_ | hello again. i found another solution to the video problem. i chose safe video mode (i should have looked a little harder the first time) | 17:11 |
| isaac_ | i need the 1.20 version to make my mic work | 17:11 |
| BoxMagnet | Hajuu, im using sbackup | 17:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, if you have a DEB for a program (that's something i personally backup) | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | you will have so much problems with backing up your bin files. | 17:11 |
| jrib | beli: well that's kind of dumb. You're circumventing APT why? | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | Theres no reason for it | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | the packages install the binaries | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | plus all their requirements | 17:11 |
| cowgarden | HardDisk, what is Easy Peasy like nowadays? :) it became obsolet when the current ubuntu netbook remix launched | 17:11 |
| HardDisk | if you want to make a redistributable copy of your installation files, use Remastersys | 17:11 |
| BoxMagnet | the program maintains a list of packages to install | 17:11 |
| Hajuu | thus the point of a package manager | 17:11 |
| BoxMagnet | does it use the internet? | 17:11 |
| BoxMagnet | or my actual files in the .tar.gz it made | 17:11 |
| HardDisk | cowgarden, mmmm it's ok..Im running UNR 9.10 now | 17:11 |
| beli | jrib: because i want to make sure that postfix has all build inside what i need | 17:12 |
| cowgarden | HardDisk, any advantages for EEE users? | 17:12 |
| BoxMagnet | im getting a new HD soon for my server but i dont want to reconfigure it | 17:12 |
| lifesengine | could someone with a perfectly working audacity music recorder please private message me? | 17:12 |
| jrib | beli: so why wouldn't you use APT... | 17:12 |
| beli | jrib: and just that...not more and not less....i dont like bloated daemons | 17:12 |
| HardDisk | cowgarden custom kernel basically. | 17:12 |
| dan_ | i have another problem, though. Ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my RAID. it wants to single out one of my mirrored hard drives for partitioning and formatting. | 17:12 |
| Hajuu | A new hdd doesnt require a reinstall at all | 17:12 |
| Hajuu | :/ | 17:12 |
| Hajuu | you can just clone your drive | 17:12 |
| Hajuu | easy peasy. | 17:12 |
| FloodBot3 | Hajuu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:12 |
| BoxMagnet | Hajuu, can you open a PM ?? | 17:12 |
| cowgarden | HardDisk, so it still boots faster? the old custom kernel was slower than the current standard one | 17:12 |
| jrib | beli: we're not talking about the daemon, we're talking about the dependencies you compiled, like berkeleydb | 17:12 |
| BoxMagnet | i need assistance lol | 17:13 |
| beli | jrib: and i want to follow that tutorial...i just used apt to fetch sources...i could have also used wget or lynx....so whats wrong with it?# | 17:13 |
| HardDisk | use Back in Time if you want to backup yoru /home dir etc...use Remastersys to create your custom iso installation dvd based on what you have installed on your system. | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | I'm kind of busy sorry, but theres many many tools for it | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | HardDisk: you might want to check out hirens boot cd | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | or ultimate boot cd | 17:13 |
| HardDisk | cowgarden yes it boots faster, also its meant as a "general" netbook os now, not just eeepc specific. | 17:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, backup the source code then the tar.gz file - keep that | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | has a copy of norton ghost on there, you can use it to very easilly clone a drive | 17:13 |
| sping476 | is there a way to make apt-get re-install all packages? (i have been trying to mix debian and ubuntu and ran into runtime link errors) | 17:13 |
| cybershock | Hello all | 17:13 |
| HardDisk | Hajuu I know hiren...its old and useless for me nowadays. | 17:13 |
| BoxMagnet | !backup | 17:13 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 17:13 |
| HardDisk | i used hirencd ever since it first came out | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | meh its really not useless. | 17:13 |
| Hajuu | the point is that its low level. | 17:14 |
| HardDisk | i mean useless for ME | 17:14 |
| Hajuu | and comes with a plethora of software | 17:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, and any config files from that program | 17:14 |
| Hajuu | like ghost. | 17:14 |
| Hajuu | well, ghost does exactly what you need | 17:14 |
| HardDisk | dont need ghost anymore | 17:14 |
| * beli detex hiren and ubcd are well done stuff | 17:14 | |
| Hajuu | but if you say so | 17:14 |
| duffydack | clonezilla ftw | 17:14 |
| Hajuu | cool | 17:14 |
| HardDisk | dd :) | 17:14 |
| FloodBot3 | Hajuu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:14 |
| BoxMagnet | supergrubdisk | 17:14 |
| cowgarden | HardDisk, yeah i know :) guess I'm to lazy to reinstall and the ubuntu updates delay so much with such a derivate. I'll stick to ubuntu/moblin dualboot. thx for the infos :9 | 17:14 |
| cowgarden | :) | 17:14 |
| BoxMagnet | is awesome too | 17:14 |
| cybershock | Does anyone know how to get the default network manager to work again in ubuntu 9.04? I had wicd installed and then I removed it and now I have no network access. | 17:14 |
| Hajuu | then you already know how to do it, obviously. | 17:14 |
| jrib | beli: anyway, I'd recommend you undo everything you did, install the depencies using apt (which you said you did anyway with apt-get build-dep), read how to properly rebuild a deb package (/msg ubottu !source), edit the source package to your needs, then rebuild the package like ubottu said to | 17:14 |
| HardDisk | yes | 17:14 |
| BoxMagnet | can i use DD to copy the old hd to the new | 17:15 |
| HardDisk | yes | 17:15 |
| BoxMagnet | like keep the old as master,boot it, and dd the old HD to the new | 17:15 |
| HardDisk | yes | 17:15 |
| BoxMagnet | will it then be bootable easy peasy? | 17:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | cybershock, for starters try running "nm-applet" from a terminal. | 17:15 |
| nathan7 | Yes. | 17:15 |
| HardDisk | yes | 17:15 |
| * nathan7 boces BoxMagnet | 17:15 | |
| BoxMagnet | boces? | 17:15 |
| HardDisk | lol | 17:15 |
| jrib | beli: and then if you get errors, say exactly where and include exactly what you modified in the source package | 17:16 |
| === zwamkat_ is now known as zwamkat | ||
| cybershock | ok cool I will try that. thanks for your help | 17:16 |
| BoxMagnet | my point being i just realized, with the backup. id have to install ubuntu. then run the backup program | 17:16 |
| BoxMagnet | that would take forever | 17:16 |
| BoxMagnet | or i could just use dd | 17:16 |
| Hajuu | use a live cd | 17:16 |
| Hajuu | innit | 17:16 |
| beli | jrib: i know what you think i am doing wrong...i am not going to mix up the system packages...i want all the stuff under /usr/local/src and build debian packages out of them...and tell apt-get to not touch that packages afterwards | 17:16 |
| HardDisk | i would use a livecd, dd one hd to the other hd | 17:16 |
| HardDisk | voila | 17:16 |
| BoxMagnet | why live-cd | 17:16 |
| jrib | beli: yeah, I think that's silly | 17:16 |
| BoxMagnet | so nothing mounted? | 17:16 |
| jrib | beli: you won't get updates from apt for any of that stuff | 17:17 |
| Hajuu | lol well there you go, problem solved. | 17:17 |
| fahadsadah | id returns no such user | 17:17 |
| fahadsadah | Using nss_ldap | 17:17 |
| Hajuu | so you dont have to install ubuntu first | 17:17 |
| beli | jrib: i dont want uopdates | 17:17 |
| Hajuu | like you said, thats the pain. | 17:17 |
| fahadsadah | I straced it, and found it isn't contacting the server. | 17:17 |
| fahadsadah | Ideas? | 17:17 |
| HardDisk | that's just how i prefer to do things when i clone | 17:17 |
| BoxMagnet | sounds like a plan guys | 17:17 |
| beli | jrib: i dont want updates for the packages i will use for the mailer stuff | 17:17 |
| HardDisk | yep | 17:17 |
| BoxMagnet | cant wait for the new sata drive. | 17:17 |
| jrib | beli: then you don't even have an ubuntu question | 17:17 |
| HardDisk | me too | 17:17 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, ud like it, its a WDC 320gb 16mb cache sataII 7200rpm | 17:17 |

| beli | jrib: maybe...maybe not... | 17:18 |
| Hajuu | for servres | 17:18 |
| BoxMagnet | haha, it was cheap! thats why i got it | 17:18 |
| eguest039 | got htis small error with my start up script | 17:18 |
| Hajuu | servers* | 17:18 |
| BoxMagnet | Hajuu, yea | 17:18 |
| BoxMagnet | its a nice drive though. good reviews from newegg | 17:18 |
| HardDisk | Boxmagnet its that easy dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb | 17:18 |
| BoxMagnet | bought it from amazon for 34 dollars. | 17:18 |

| fahadsadah | !compizfusion | cg | 17:19 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compizfusion | 17:19 |
| beli | jrib: i really dont think distribution, i think linux.....on #postfix someone flamed me because i am using ubuntu for source stuff....where are we?! | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | yes | 17:19 |
| fahadsadah | !compiz | cg | 17:19 |
| ubottu | cg: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 17:19 |
| Hajuu | yeah | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, perfect, then i get rid of the old ide | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | then you can use gparted later on to resize | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | and throw it in the dumpster | 17:19 |
| Hajuu | man its hard to talk in here | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | well dont throw it | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, i will need to resize yes | 17:19 |
| Hajuu | yeah dont throw it :/ | 17:19 |
| thijs_ | how to resume a crashed update from cli | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | give it to anyone who can use it for parts | 17:19 |
| Hajuu | use it as a media drive | 17:19 |
| eguest039 | bin bash bad interpretor no such file or directory | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | use it as a temp drive | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, OO i got a celeron 500mhz im going to use purely for music | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | use it as a door stopper | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | throw that drive in there | 17:19 |
| Hajuu | lol | 17:19 |
| fahadsadah | eguest039: sudo aptitude install bash | 17:19 |
| HardDisk | well there you go | 17:19 |
| jrib | beli: in any case you can't be helped if you don't pastebin exactly what you are doing. You aren't even using anything ubuntu the way you are doing it. You might as well just use the tar.gz and go back to postfix (all the ubuntu-specific stuff is in the debian/ folder anyway) | 17:19 |
| BoxMagnet | its 20g thats enough for ubuntu server +mplayer command line | 17:20 |
| cg | fahadsadah: any other way ? | 17:20 |
| fahadsadah | cg: No. | 17:20 |
| HardDisk | or you can make your own ubuntu mirror | 17:20 |
| daevski | Is Apache all I need to start a file server? | 17:20 |
| HardDisk | you need about 80gigs i think | 17:20 |
| fahadsadah | Does anyone here know about NSS? | 17:20 |
| fahadsadah | Or LDAP? | 17:20 |
| HardDisk | and provide ubuntu updates to your neighborhood :) | 17:20 |
| beli | jrib: ok you got at least my point....i dont want to use apt for the udpate stuff of the postfix mailer | 17:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | BoxMagnet, see #ubuntu-server -- but ya - i run most of my server vm's in 8g | 17:20 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, i do have like 10mb upload speed now from comcast. | 17:20 |
| grawity | fahadsadah: Wrong channel to ask. | 17:21 |
| daevski | Anyone have a tutorial on making File Server on Ubuntu Desktop Edition? | 17:21 |
| eguest039 | aptitude says bash is installed | 17:21 |
| sdwrage | how do you open an application through terminal without the terminal holding a dependency on that app? | 17:21 |
| beli | jrib: but ubuntu is linux and i can install/compile sources on it, build packages like i want...thats because its linux! | 17:21 |
| HardDisk | app & | 17:21 |
| linny | & | 17:21 |
| BoxMagnet | HardDisk, its a celeron 500mhz with 128mb ram. 2x64mb lol, not server material | 17:21 |
| Hajuu | lol | 17:21 |
| Hajuu | thats called daemonizing it | 17:21 |
| beli | jrib: it may not be the ubuntu way...but thats on another hand | 17:21 |
| HardDisk | well yea | 17:21 |
| sping476 | is there a way to make apt-get re-install all packages? | 17:21 |
| dan_ | Ubuntu doesn't seem to detect my RAID. it wants to single out one of my mirrored hard drives for partitioning and formatting. anyone have any ideas? | 17:21 |
| BoxMagnet | Hajuu, i like screen -d -m -S name /usr/bin/app | 17:22 |
| sdwrage | how do you open an application through terminal without the terminal holding a dependency on that app? | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | sping476 i think you need to run sudo apt-get install -f | 17:22 |
| Hajuu | er | 17:22 |
| cg | pwd | 17:22 |
| cg | ls | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | if you're having problems | 17:22 |
| thijs_ | how to resume a crashed update from cli(i ran sudo do-release-upgrade), but it crashed on installing fonts. is there anyway to resume the distro upgrade? (upping from 8.10 to 9.04 | 17:22 |
| Hajuu | it doesnt work at all like using screen. | 17:22 |
| Hajuu | lol | 17:22 |
| BoxMagnet | what | 17:22 |
| BoxMagnet | what doesn't | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | he means F2 | 17:22 |
| Hajuu | daemonizing. I was talking to HardDisk | 17:22 |
| BoxMagnet | o | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | yea demons | 17:22 |
| daevski | sping476: you can use Package Manger (no filter) and go through the list.... marking them for re-install :-\ | 17:22 |
| erUSUL | sdwrage: nohup app & | 17:22 |
| daevski | sping476: Might not be ideal, but it's a way... | 17:22 |
| Hajuu | daemons != Demons.. At least I hope not :o | 17:22 |

| daevski | Is Apache all I need to start a file server? | 17:23 |
| BoxMagnet | OK so my girl was driving home and the AXLE of the car fell out | 17:23 |
| Hajuu | sping476 I think its like, dpkg --reconfigure --force-all * | 17:23 |
| preecher | im using ubuntu 9.04--i just dload an install KDE desktop--is there a way when i boot up it ask me which i wanna boot to--gnome or kde? now it shows the kde splash screen but boots into gnome but under applications i have kde programs listed | 17:23 |
| sping476 | Hajuu: dpkg is fine, too. how make i dpkg do it? | 17:23 |
| grawity | daevski: Technically, Apache is a _web server_... but yes, it's enough. | 17:23 |
| Hajuu | sping476: check out 'man dpkg', it's all in there | 17:23 |
| erUSUL | daevski: samba or nfs are used to serve files | 17:24 |
| dan_ | okay, thank you guys. | 17:24 |
| erUSUL | daevski: apache is a web server | 17:24 |
| BoxMagnet | erUSUL, ssh too | 17:24 |
| meanieface | preecher: if you go into gdmsetup you can turn off automatic login | 17:24 |
| Hajuu | daevski: yeah you can share files easilly with apache :) | 17:24 |
| grawity | BoxMagnet: ssh is for remote shell access - file transfers is a secondary feature. | 17:24 |
| Hajuu | If configured correctly | 17:25 |
| daevski | grawity, ty // erUSUL: What app would I use to assign logins, etc? (Samba is installed) | 17:25 |
| === randoms is now known as randoms|away | ||
| Hajuu | lol not apache, thats for sure. | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | !samba | daevski | 17:25 |
| ubottu | daevski: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 17:25 |
| daevski | Hajuu -- what app might I use to manage logins, etc? | 17:25 |
| sping476 | Hajuu: can you help me out with it, the man page is quite confusing to me | 17:25 |
| Darkomen | what application that can connect my friends to my computer? | 17:25 |
| === randoms|away is now known as randoms | ||
| preecher | meanieface, is that a terminal program | 17:25 |
| Darkomen | just like a root? | 17:25 |
| BoxMagnet | grawity, it works better than samba | 17:26 |
| Darkomen | a shell | 17:26 |
| datz | Darkomen, ssh? | 17:26 |
| grawity | BoxMagnet: Wouldn't say so. | 17:26 |
| BoxMagnet | grawity, much more secure too | 17:26 |
| meanieface | preecher: you can launch it from terminal yes sudo gdmsetup | 17:26 |
| Darkomen | datz yeaps | 17:26 |
| Hajuu | sping476: to us all, dpkg is horrible. Thus why aptitude and stuff came along | 17:26 |
| preecher | meanieface, thx | 17:26 |
| grawity | BoxMagnet: Security is the only advantage of SFTP over samba or nfs. | 17:26 |
| Hajuu | sping476: you could do it with aptitude or synaptic, just be careful | 17:26 |
| isolatedsh33p | hey peeps | 17:26 |
| datz | Darkomen, is that what you were looking for? | 17:26 |
| BoxMagnet | grawity, hm, documentation? | 17:26 |
| daevski | Hajuu, grawity, erUSUL -- Thanks guys | 17:26 |
| Hajuu | sping476: go into sort by status, click installed, select all, right click, and there should be an option like reconfigure | 17:27 |
| Hajuu | I believe | 17:27 |

| u42p | hi, i could use some help with vpnc. i want to use the vpn only to access a certain ip (range would be fine too) and not route all my traffic through it. the manual says "IPSEC target network <target network/netmask>". i have the ip i want to access but no idea about the netmask. also do i have to make the last byte of the ip a 0? | 17:28 |
| isolatedsh33p | does everyone have slow internet in ubuntu? | 17:28 |
| toefur | how can i get rid of it all and restart from clean | 17:28 |
| meanieface | isolatedsh33p: nope | 17:28 |
| datz | Darkomen, open port 22. No, use sftp for files | 17:28 |
| isolatedsh33p | i got slow internet connection | 17:28 |
| BoxMagnet | u42p, netmask probably 255.255.255.0 | 17:28 |

| isolatedsh33p | jaunty jackalope | 17:29 |

| Jennifer | hello all. My ubuntu freezes seemingly random, version 9.04 | 17:44 |
| Jennifer | I'm sitting in front of a frozen PC right now | 17:44 |
| Jennifer | any suggestions how to find out what the problem is? | 17:45 |
| rsk | Jennifer: find out if it's due to overheating | 17:45 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, which graphics card? | 17:45 |
| Jennifer | rsk....sensors show cpu at 44C | 17:45 |
| ZuzOnline | so hajuu, do you know of anything like that but open source? | 17:45 |
| Jennifer | thiebaude...good question...if i remember correctly its Nvidia | 17:45 |
| erUSUL | Jennifer: check the various log files under /var/log/ (messages syslog kernel.log ) | 17:45 |
| HexTasy_ | heh | 17:45 |
| HexTasy_ | good thing to know | 17:45 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, ok | 17:45 |
| Hajuu | ZuzOnline: you mean free, not opensource. | 17:45 |
| HexTasy_ | ati is :X | 17:45 |
| Hajuu | It IS opensource. | 17:46 |
| Hajuu | You recieve the source when you buy it. | 17:46 |
| Jennifer | erUSUL...going to reboot and look into the logs | 17:46 |
| Jennifer | brb | 17:46 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, dual-boot? | 17:46 |
| Jennifer | thiebaude....no, clean installed ubuntu only | 17:46 |
| Jennifer | control-alt-f1 not responding | 17:47 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, did you use live cd and just try ubuntu without installing to see if it works | 17:47 |
| Jennifer | neither is control/alt/backspace | 17:47 |
| Jennifer | thiebaude....intially yes | 17:47 |
| sandyd80 | Anyone able to help...my ubuntu i broke, i get as far as a blank desktop with the mouse pointer and it seems to get stuck there, how do i go about troubleshooting this_ | 17:47 |
| Jennifer | so thats why i installed | 17:47 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, right | 17:48 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Could anybody take a look at this one? How can I fix this apt-get problem I cant remove, purge, reinstall or just install the package anymore :( http://pastebin.com/m55803a4e | 17:48 |
| thiebaude | Jennifer, and then you went through the install process? | 17:48 |
| Jennifer | and the irritating thing is, when this happens it forces a chdsk | 17:48 |
| Jennifer | and sometimes i have to manually do it | 17:48 |
| Jennifer | "unclean shutdown" | 17:49 |
| whatelse | #test | 17:49 |
| HexTasy_ | bad memory perhaps Jennifer? | 17:49 |
| ZuzOnline | Hajuu freeware is good :) | 17:49 |
| meanieface | sven_oostenbrink: dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <yourpackagehere> | 17:49 |
| Jennifer | HexTasy....did memtest before installing...bought them from a friend out of working PC, tested there and here...memtest86 | 17:50 |
| wrapster | i have a motorola phone that is not properly mounting on ubuntu...would this be the right channel to ask such ques? | 17:50 |
| sven_oostenbrink | meanieface: wohoo! Seems to do the trick! :) | 17:51 |
| meanieface | sven_oostenbrink: nice :) | 17:51 |
| HexTasy_ | Jennifer: well if you've ran memtest for a few hours (4 or more) you'd rule out bad memory, and overheating at the same time more than likely. | 17:51 |
| Jennifer | HexTasy...left it running overnight | 17:51 |
| meanieface | wrapster: what are you trying to get it to work with? | 17:51 |
| wrapster | meanieface: just as any other USB media | 17:52 |
| HexTasy_ | my next guess is funky modules or a bad config somewhere. all packages up to date? | 17:52 |
| erUSUL | Jennifer: when the look up happens do the leds of the keyboard start blinking ? | 17:52 |
| wrapster | i can hear that connecting sound the phone makes.. | 17:52 |
| Jennifer | Hextasy...as for overheating graphics...i can swap cards with an ATI | 17:52 |
| Jennifer | erUSUL...no | 17:52 |
| wrapster | but after that df -h does not show it to be mounted | 17:52 |
| HexTasy_ | Jennifer: you're much better off with nvidia | 17:52 |
| meanieface | wrapster: have you tried bitpim? | 17:52 |
| HexTasy_ | get teh latest drivers from nvidia.com | 17:53 |
| wrapster | meanieface: no | 17:53 |
| Jennifer | erUSUL...i can't do anything....keyboard locked. Caps wont light up. Numberlock wont light up when pressed | 17:53 |
| erUSUL | Jennifer: well we can rule out a "kernel panic" then :) | 17:53 |
| === Antaranian is now known as norayr2 | ||
| Jennifer | erUSUL...what does that mean? | 17:53 |
| Jennifer | erUSUL...is my case worse than "kernel panic" | 17:53 |

| Jennifer | erUSUL....so far everything is working with the 2D driver | 18:53 |
| beli | lo127: best way is to add the local users to one group....maybe they have a common group USERS....and then adjust the group permissions to +rw ....existing files are unchanged of permissions...new files will take user:group | 18:53 |
| Jennifer | erUSUL...this might take a couple of weeks before the next crash | 18:53 |
| beli | lo127: why not just read the manuals? its all in there | 18:54 |
| lo127 | beli: so the new files has to be manually changed to the correct group? | 18:54 |
| bryar | llutz: "growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso" on the last part, do I have to give where the iso is located? | 18:54 |
| llutz | bryar: sure | 18:54 |

Any ideas how to treat this? | 18:54 |
| beli | lo127: no! | 18:54 |
| bryar | llutz: let me try it | 18:54 |
| sreckobb | growisofs is command ? | 18:54 |

| Bodsda | Jennifer: yeah, I wrote a script for that... gimme a sec | 19:44 |
| Kuifje111 | Scunizi: 3301, maybe? | 19:44 |
| llutz | Jennifer: let it go, nature will say: thank you for leaving | 19:44 |
| Scunizi | Kuifje111: suprisingly, it's actually a gui with a launcher off the menu.. not browser based.. | 19:45 |
| Scunizi | Kuifje111: just found the link in the menu :) | 19:45 |
| jgay | so, i just lost trackpad/nub/mouse-button control on my dell d620 laptop (running karmic). Does anybody know if there is a good place to find out what *should* appear when I cat /proc/bus/input/devices | 19:45 |

| Garnol | hi, i need to find out the wirelesslan password of a router, can you give me a hint how to get it? | 19:47 |
| llutz | Garnol: ask the owner | 19:47 |
| Scunizi | Kuifje111: except it's acking for the Server Host Name.. I'm trying "localhost" but not sure . | 19:47 |
| sandyd80 | kusanagi: so do you mean that i shoud delete all of my .gnome folders? | 19:47 |
| rhend15 | Garnol: What kind of encryption is it ? | 19:47 |
| Garnol | i think its wpa | 19:47 |
| Garnol | or wpa2 | 19:47 |
| rhend15 | Garnol: There are no way's to crack wpa, only brute forcing | 19:48 |
| ender | Can anyone help me, I cant seem to format any partitions to NTFS | 19:48 |
| llutz | Garnol: wpa - maybe aircrack, wpa2 - ask owner | 19:48 |
| Garnol | wpa2 is uncrackable? | 19:48 |
| darkham | how many time would take gparted to format a 4gb pendrive in ext3? | 19:48 |
| pistyman | does anybody have a problem where their display preferences wont load and needs to be forced to quit? | 19:48 |
| rhend15 | llutz: aircrack also brute force on wpa | 19:48 |
| Kuifje111 | wpa2 is quite difficult to crack. | 19:48 |
| daevski | I have Samba running and a directory shared... how can I make my files accessable by ftp client (aka make my system listen on port 21)? | 19:48 |
| Panzer | I have a gateway m6848 laptop. I have installed ubuntu 9.04. IN the install and afterward the machine is not able to find the dhcp server and when I edit the interfaces file I can't get the eth0 connection up. | 19:49 |
| llutz | rhend15: with chance to succeed | 19:49 |
| Kuifje111 | daevski: install an ftp daemon. | 19:49 |
| rhend15 | Garnol: yes it is only by brute force hacking. | 19:49 |
| Garnol | ok, i heard of a technic to send out a disturbing signal and catching the password afterwords | 19:49 |
| Garnol | ok | 19:49 |
| rhend15 | llutz: indeed | 19:49 |
| Kuifje111 | Garnol: thats basically only with WEP. | 19:49 |
| Garnol | hm | 19:49 |
| llutz | Garnol: WEP takes about 30 seconds | 19:49 |
| daevski | Kuifje111: ah, thanks! I knew I was missing something. Is there a common one? | 19:49 |
| rhend15 | llutz: how do you crack web ? | 19:50 |
| kusanagi_ | rhend15, goolge it | 19:50 |
| llutz | rhend15: aircrack-ng | 19:50 |
| Kuifje111 | daevski: you mgiht want to try vsftpd. | 19:50 |
| kusanagi_ | and its WEP | 19:50 |
| jimmy51_ | does this mean anything to anyone here: "You may just need to add "SSLRequireSSL" to your AuthConfig section. " ? | 19:50 |
| Garnol | ok | 19:50 |
| rhend15 | llutz: is that the only thing i need because they always talk about kismet | 19:50 |
| daevski | Kuifje111: how does it compare to what I just found on google: pure-ftpd ? | 19:50 |
| llutz | rhend15: http://aircrack-ng.org/ | 19:51 |
| WanHouse | daevski: gadmin-proftpd for comfortable servings. | 19:51 |
| Kuifje111 | daevski: I have no experience with pure-ftpd, but vsftpd worked all right for me. | 19:51 |
| rhend15 | llutz: Thanks | 19:51 |
| daevski | Kuifje111: is it GUI or cli? | 19:51 |
| llutz | rhend15: but it's hard to find WEP-networks today | 19:51 |
| daevski | wanhouse: thank you. | 19:51 |
| WanHouse | daevski: gadmin-proftpd is GUI. Np | 19:52 |
| Kuifje111 | daevski: proftpd is probably the most popular one amongst professional usage. | 19:52 |
| Garnol | how long do you think will i need to crack my wpa network? | 19:52 |
| kusanagi_ | llutz, it depends on where u live... lol here there are tons of old routers still working | 19:52 |
| rhend15 | llutz: Yes i know, sadly enough :( | 19:52 |
| llutz | Garnol: ages :) | 19:52 |
| Kuifje111 | daevski: there are probably GUIs available, but I prefer to keep it CLI. | 19:52 |
| Garnol | or is there any alternativ method? | 19:52 |
| Kuifje111 | Garnol: dont try it, will possibly take years. | 19:52 |
| daevski | Kuifje111 / wanhouse: alright thank you both! | 19:52 |

| sandyd80 | Anyone able to help...my ubuntu i broke, i get as far as a blank desktop with the mouse pointer and it seems to get stuck there, how do i go about troubleshooting this_ | 19:55 |
| joakimk | Is there any way to have a button in my "tray" (a shortcut) which opens a set of programs? For instance, when I work, I need a Terminal window with 5 tabs (going to certain dirs, and some opening SSH connections), and let's say Firefox and Thunderbird? | 19:55 |
| kusanagi_ | sandyd80, yeah, i had a problem similitar to what you describe... i erased all the gnome configurations stuff, then log out and log it again and everything work to normal | 19:55 |
| === w00t_ is now known as Guest59654 | ||
| FCalderon | sandyd80: do you have the menus on top or not even that? | 19:56 |
| joakimk | so I could hit "Work" button, and everything would unfold to my liking :) | 19:56 |
| FCalderon | joakimk you would need to do some shell scripting, it isn't that hard | 19:56 |
| sandyd80 | no menus, right click doesnt work, alt-f2 doesnt work | 19:56 |
| * stat_eno hi to all | 19:56 | |
| FCalderon | sandyd80: Are you using gnome or kde? | 19:56 |
| Gnea | sandyd80: what about ctrl-alt-f1? | 19:57 |
| Elixir | hi .. python made problem in my system(hardy 8.04) and yesterday it crashed and not back till I reinstall python and gnome .. how can I know the source of the problem ? | 19:57 |
| === mehasjustaboutgi is now known as iainbuclaw | ||
| sandyd80 | FCalderon: gnome | 19:57 |
| ab2qik | Hey help with recording streaming audio would be great | 19:57 |
| joakimk | FCalderon: I was thinking there would exist some tool which "remembers" the programs running right now, and can recall them next time I hit the button. If you see what I mean :) | 19:57 |
| Gnea | Elixir: examine ~/.xsession-errors | 19:57 |
| trism | joakimk: you could also use something like screen for the terminal windows (I have screen automatically open up 6 windows starting various programs and shells when it starts) | 19:57 |
| WanHouse | joakimk: so you mean a single button to launch many different programs ? (Local or remote via ssh) ? | 19:57 |
| joakimk | WanHouse: Local | 19:57 |
| userhome | =) | 19:57 |
| sandyd80 | Gnea: never tried alt-f1, i'm on live-cd now | 19:57 |
| FCalderon | joakimk I don't know about any tool that does that, however if you happen to find it please let me know, as that would be extremely useful here | 19:58 |
| Gnea | sandyd80: no, not alt-f1. ctrl-alt-f1 | 19:58 |
| kusanagi_ | ab2qik, just ask whats the problem | 19:58 |
| sandyd80 | ok, no, what does that do? | 19:58 |
| FCalderon | sandyd80: ctrl-alt-f1 should take you to a shell (command line) | 19:58 |
| joakimk | FCalderon: hehe I will :) | 19:58 |
| sandyd80 | ok, what would i do from there, if it should work? | 19:58 |
| stat_eno | i can't write a DVD-r ... " /dev/sr0 has been opened read-only" | 19:59 |
| FCalderon | joakimk Maybe the "suspend" and "hibernate" functions would work, you can save the current program states and restore them the next time you boot up | 19:59 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: Need to record into separate tracks so a playlist is formed. | 19:59 |
| Elixir | Gnea .. how ? | 19:59 |
| Gnea | Elixir: with a text editor or terminal pager, like less | 19:59 |
| FCalderon | sandy80: try running nautilus and see if that works | 19:59 |
| kusanagi_ | ab2qik, where are you gettint the streams | 19:59 |
| WanHouse | joakimk: GNOME/gnome-terminal could have some open-tab options maybe. I suggest "man gnome-terminal", because its tabbable. | 19:59 |
| kusanagi_ | from | 19:59 |
| joakimk | FCalderon: yea, but I don't always want this to happen. And maybe I could have a suite of shortcuts | 19:59 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: shoutcast. Im | 19:59 |
| ender | sorry to re-post but does anyone know why I cant format to ntfs or use a windows cd? | 20:00 |
| joakimk | WanHouse: I see... I guess a shell script would be the easiest | 20:00 |
| sandyd80 | ok, i go try | 20:00 |
| sandyd80 | thanx | 20:00 |
| ]{LiK`Ev][L` | hi there | 20:00 |
| WanHouse | joakimk: Yeah, thats what im thinking. | 20:00 |
| ]{LiK`Ev][L` | I'm going to need support in a second | 20:00 |
| FCalderon | joakimk but a shell script will just open those programs for you, it won't remember their last state | 20:00 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: It works in vista using total recorder. Need something similar that can do it | 20:00 |
| Gnea | ]{LiK`Ev][L`: a second is up. | 20:00 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: that can do it in jaunty ofc. | 20:01 |
| joakimk | FCalderon: no... I only need the tabs to go to their respective dirs, and some to open SSH connections. Then I start working | 20:01 |
| FCalderon | ender: a windows cd isn't ntfs formated. | 20:01 |
| joakimk | FCalderon: so I guess shell script is really the solution | 20:01 |
| kusanagi_ | ab2qik, i dont really know whats the problem, a regular recorder will record stream... | 20:01 |
| kusanagi_ | what program are you using for shoutcast | 20:01 |
| Kirsch | hey all, i'm running ubuntu hardy server and i ran updates, now when i try and use certain programs, /dev/null is chmodded to 600, so a non-root user trying to access anything that needs it dies, i saw a launchpad bug about it but no real solution except to add an init script to change it to 666, is there a real solution yet? | 20:01 |
| Gnea | ender: because microsoft said 'no' | 20:01 |
| trism | !screen | joakimk | 20:02 |
| ubottu | joakimk: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 20:02 |
| FCalderon | Kirsch: what's wrong with having it chmoded to 666 every time you boot up? | 20:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | ab2qik, check out streamripper - download online streams into audio files, not sure if it breaks stuff up into files though - it might | 20:02 |
| Kirsch | FCalderon: its a hack fix, why isn't it creating it on boot as 666? | 20:02 |
| Kirsch | FCalderon: i'm concerned something ELSE is wrong... | 20:02 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: Yes i have recorded with gstreamer on jaunty. But how can you build a playlist of separate tracks as you hit record and stop. Record stop, etc. | 20:02 |
| ender | I have two separate problems where I cant get past "starting windows" on my windows cd. Or format to NTFS using gparted | 20:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kirsch, i'd ask the same question in #ubuntu-server | 20:03 |
| WanHouse | Kirsch: sounds like Ubuntu creates it wrong. In /etc/udev... rules somewhere you can probably change it | 20:03 |
| kusanagi_ | ab2qik, a playlist? you mean a textfile with the names of the files you want to play? | 20:03 |
| Gnea | ender: again, microsoft said "NO!!!" | 20:03 |
| Gnea | ender: you have to use the cd to format ntfs | 20:03 |

| ender | no from boot | 20:04 |
| Kirsch | WanHouse: yes, thats what the problem is | 20:04 |
| falstaff|h | Hello, can somebody help me debug a cryptsetup problem? I try to decrypt a small encrypted filesystem in a file via loopback.... I get asked 4-5 times for my password (im absolut sure the password is correct, it works when the system is booted) | 20:04 |
| ab2qik | kusanagi_: Names of files that the recorder records and saves with auto generated filenames. THis forms the playlist. | 20:04 |
| WanHouse | Kirsch: File it as a bug. A severe one at that. | 20:04 |
| FCalderon | ender: the windows install is completely independent of ubuntu, therefore if you're having problems running the installer, maybe it's just that your hard disk is failing | 20:04 |
| Gnea | Kirsch: is this with jaunty? | 20:04 |
| falstaff|h | THe problem is, there is much output between the password question, but i cant scroll within usplash... is this output somwhere logged? syslog doesnt contains it | 20:05 |

| lstarnes | WanHouse: sorry, that was for wilecoyte78 | 20:40 |
| monster | did it work at one point? | 20:40 |
| lstarnes | WanHouse: I was referring to using @reboot as the time in crontab | 20:40 |
| Sandy80d | no i can boot livecd ok, but my ubuntu install will not boot from HDD | 20:40 |

| lstarnes | ZykoticK9: for file in *; do cp "$file" "$file.bak"; done | 20:41 |
| WanHouse | lstarnes: This interrests me. You can write "@reboot" to have cron run the command at shutdown/reboot ? | 20:41 |
| Kirsch | lstarnes: ok cool | 20:42 |
| lstarnes | WanHouse: no | 20:42 |
| Panzer | erUSUL: getting pretty much the same error with r8168 r8168.ko does not exist | 20:42 |

Does this partition have to be moved first or does recreating the partition(keeping the swap partion at the end on the same location) and resize2fs(after turning off journaling) move the inode table to the front? I used to have a good article on this but I can't find it anymore | 21:11 |

| nt4cats | If this were a Redhat/Fedora/Centos box I could type "yum provides */foo/data-file" and it would answer my question. (I'm mentioning this not to start a flamewar but to further explain what I'm trying to do) | 21:24 |
| Sandy80d | ok, i dont appear to be able to access these folders from liveCD would i have to go to command priompt to remove these? | 21:24 |
| skylar_ | wth some videos still won't plat | 21:24 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 21:24 |
| skylar_ | * play | 21:24 |
| iraklio_cretee | hello | 21:24 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: I think that's what you're asking anyway | 21:24 |
| nt4cats | Flannel: I thought that only works if the file is already installed | 21:24 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: It does. | 21:24 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: apt-file is what you want for packages not installed | 21:25 |
| Sandy80d | Istarnes: ok, i dont appear to be able to access these folders from liveCD would i have to go to command priompt to remove these? | 21:25 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: (well, I think it works for installed packages too) | 21:25 |
| ab2qik | THis was typed at the terminal: sudo streamripper http://www.shoutcast.com/shoutcast_player?stationid=59&Genre=Deep&ContentFlag=1&isCallInternal=&related= | 21:25 |
| nt4cats | Flannel: I don't have the file yet -- and I want to install it but don't know how to search for it. I'll give apt-file a try, thanks. | 21:25 |
| Flannel | nyash: You need to have an IMAP/POP server on the box to serve the mail to the clients. Dovecot is one of them | 21:25 |
| Flannel | !dovecot | nyash | 21:26 |
| lstarnes | Sandy80d: you could mount your existing installation to a temporary directory in the live cd then look in your home directory there | 21:26 |
| ubottu | nyash: IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol | 21:26 |
| sven_oostenbrink | Question, I need information on a 10Gbit network card that also supports iSCSI.. Could I use such a card for bot iSCSI and normal traffic, or would that require an extra, other, network card? | 21:26 |
| nt4cats | Flannel: ... and I'm not mentioning the specific file here because I am more interested in learning to fish than I am in having you catch a fish for me ;) | 21:26 |
| kyon-MTfr | Good evening, I have a silly problem with a bash script I wrote... can I get some help, please ? | 21:26 |
| kyon-MTfr | that script is supposed to copy a file to a destination with another file name ; the displayed cp command works when I type it separately, but fails in the script | 21:26 |
| nyash | Flannel: Should postfix need additional configuration, or will everything needed be handled by dovecot, including further configuration if necessary? | 21:26 |
| guntbert | kyon-MTfr: there is a channel #bash :) | 21:27 |
| Flannel | nt4cats: If it's just a rare thing, you can also use packages.ubuntu.com, which has a second textbox for looking for files in packages (basically an online apt-file) since I believe apt-file carries a significant chunk of data with it (all the files in all the packages) | 21:27 |
| kyon-MTfr | oh. thanks, then. | 21:27 |
| Billiard | kyon-MTfr: you can pm me about it if you want | 21:27 |
| nt4cats | Flannel: outstanding! thanks again | 21:27 |
| safe | I'm not able to request a key from keyserver.ubuntu.com, it just times out. | 21:27 |
| safe | However, I can ping the server. | 21:27 |
| Flannel | nyash: If postfix lets you recieve email to your server and send email out of it, then yeah, that's fully configured. Then for dovecot you just point it to whereever your mail is hiding | 21:27 |
| skylar_ | assuming i can install FF 3.5 would it be sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 | 21:27 |
| ab2qik | any help with streamripper? | 21:27 |
| nyash | Flannel: Ok, great thanks! | 21:28 |
| Flannel | skylar_: Depends. What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 21:28 |
| wawer | #ubuntu-pl | 21:28 |
| guntbert | safe: you can use nearly every other gpg keyserver as well | 21:28 |
| skylar_ | newest | 21:28 |
| skylar_ | 9.04 I think | 21:28 |
| skylar_ | Jaunty Jackalope. | 21:28 |
| Flannel | skylar_: then yeah, just install firefox-3.5 | 21:28 |
| safe | Is there some other way to get a "key"? | 21:29 |
| rsk | safe: it's laggy sometimes, try again | 21:29 |
| zorael | Can't you add to the packages a launchpad bug affects without confirming that it's been registered upstream? | 21:30 |
| ab2qik | is there a way to get streamripper and kstreamer working? | 21:30 |
| safe | guntbert: Which one would that be? I know of none. | 21:30 |
| guntbert | safe: try http://pgp.mit.edu/ | 21:30 |
| Flannel | zorael: You'd have a better chance of getting answered in #ubuntu-bugs | 21:30 |
| zorael | Flannel: ah, thanks | 21:30 |

| Rafay | So, I downloaded the latest version of Ubuntu (9.04) which is about 689MB and I want to dual boot, so I have to burn it. So my question is, would the latest iso will fit in a 700MB disk? | 22:37 |
| Garnol9956 | I got a problem with the following command:sudo apt-get install cvs svn git-core mercurial: it says that svn has no installation candidat. What am i doing wrong? | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | Rafay: yes | 22:38 |
| Garnol9956 | yes it will | 22:38 |
| ageeb | rafay, yes | 22:38 |
| Rafay | 698MB* | 22:38 |
| hunt577 | Is Sebastrian here? | 22:38 |
| Billiard | Garnol9956: svn isnt an available package looks like | 22:38 |
| hunt577 | Sebastian* | 22:38 |
| ageeb | i just did it rafay | 22:38 |
| ageeb | literally | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | Rafay: however it might be a good idea to just wait untill 9.10 now :) which is released not this Thursday, but the next one, October 29th | 22:38 |
| bitplex | How would I go about removing all packages that I have installed leaving only the default ones that came with ubuntu? Please somebody help. | 22:38 |
| hunt577 | I have an HP Pavilion DV7 laptop, would ubuntu be a good operating system for this computer? | 22:39 |
| Rafay | good Idea | 22:39 |
| Rafay | In the mean time, I'm gonna try out Ubuntu for the first time on my test computer | 22:39 |
| Rafay | :) | 22:39 |
| fnordperfect | hello! is it somehow possible to allow two simultanously logged-in users run the NetworkManager applet? | 22:39 |
| === Tabstar is now known as Tabmow | ||
| ageeb | does anyone know if the updates after 9.10beta install get rolled into the final release or do they stay as 'updates' to download after install? | 22:40 |
| Rafay | You guys "really" sure it would fit? | 22:40 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: It all depends on the peripherals inside. It *might* work fine - or you *might* have wireless card and video issues. The video can almost always be run in a degraded mode (i.e. no accelleration). | 22:40 |
| jrib | !karmic | ageeb | 22:40 |
| ubottu | ageeb: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 22:40 |
| hunt577 | oh ok Zzeiss thank you | 22:40 |
| ageeb | rafay, i downloaded 9.10beta today, burned it, and installed it | 22:40 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: The wireless card may or may not work at all. Some mfgrs make really horrid wireless cards. | 22:40 |
| hunt577 | ah | 22:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | bitplex, i'm not really sure how that could be done - something with apt-cache policy perhaps? what version are you using? perhaps there is a list of default packages somewhere and you could try using a diff to compare the two file? dunno. good luck man. | 22:40 |
| hunt577 | I can always try it out | 22:40 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: However, a suggestion? Download a LiveCD of Ubuntu and give it a try. | 22:40 |
| Rafay | okay then | 22:40 |
| hunt577 | Thank you I will do that | 22:41 |
| Rafay | Thanks for helping ageeb and others | 22:41 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: the LiveCD will run VERY SLOWLY compared to the hard drive. But you can test everything. | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | Rafay: The LIve CD fits on a standard 700MB CD | 22:41 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: If it works *at all* under the LiveCD, it will work in the full install. :) | 22:41 |
| Rafay | yeah, I just bought that | 22:41 |
| bitplex | ZykoticK9 - thank you for helping - version 8.10 | 22:42 |
| Rafay | 80 minute, right? | 22:42 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: Another option- do you feel comfortable with swapping your hard drive? If so, pop in a cheap spare hard drive, and do the install. That way, you see pretty closely how blazingly fast Ubuntu is compared to Windows. :) | 22:42 |
| hunt577 | One more question, should I get the Beta 9.10 Ubuntu or an existing Ubuntu? | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | Rafay: Before burning an ISO your meant to really md5sum check it, to make sure it's a good download | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | Rafay | 22:42 |
| ubottu | Rafay: 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 | 22:42 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: I'd go with 9.04. Especially if you are going to swap hard drives before the install. :) | 22:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | bitplex, i just checked my iso collection - but i don't have a 8.10 would have done a vm for the default list but without iso can't really help out :( | 22:43 |
| Rafay | I downloaded through the torrent provided on the site, so no need to worry about | 22:43 |
| bitplex | ZykoticK9 - its ok, thanks for trying | 22:43 |
| Rafay | but still, I will run a check to verify | 22:43 |
| hunt577 | Zzeiss - I am just backing up all the files I want to keep on a USB thumb drive and will transfer them back on the computer once I have ubuntu installed | 22:43 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: Oh- and even if some thiings don't work in the liveCD or initial install, plug it in to a wired network and do a "system upgrade to newest rev". Lots of things got to working. :) | 22:43 |
| bitplex | Hopefully somebody else mught have | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | hunt577: just wait for 9.10, and when you got the final of it, do a nice clean install, then nice Ext4 by default a faster file system, and Grub 2 later version of the boot loader, where as 9.04 Ext3 upgrades don't get that | 22:44 |
| hunt577 | oh ok | 22:44 |
| Rafay | one more question, 80 Minute -> 700MB CD? | 22:44 |
| sebsebseb | hunt577: or put 9.04 on in the mean time | 22:44 |
| hunt577 | Sebastian!!!! | 22:44 |
| Zzeiss | hunt577: Another thing you might want to try is to install a _dual boot_ partition setup. That way you can still run your Windows install of HALO. :) | 22:44 |
| hunt577 | I have been looking for you | 22:44 |
| hunt577 | Do you remember me? | 22:44 |
| Garnol9956 | how do i install software from tar.bz2? | 22:44 |
| Rafay | ageeb? | 22:45 |
| Zzeiss | Garnol9956: You have to unpack it with bunzip2, which is not in the default install. :( | 22:45 |
| === Fuhrer is now known as Daky | ||
| trism | Garnol9956: you need to extract it with tar xjvf file.tar.bz2 and then follow the directions for the package | 22:45 |
| Zzeiss | Garnol9956: so, "sudo apt-get install bunzip2", then "bunzip2 yourfilehere", then work from that result. | 22:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | bitplex, to get a list of what is installed you can use the command "dpkg --get-selections > installed-software" if you could run the same thing on a default install you'd know what you have installed since the base setup. good luck man. | 22:46 |
| Zzeiss | gotta run. This is my train stop. | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | hunt577: probably | 22:46 |
| Dark_Shadow | yo | 22:46 |
| Garnol9956 | ZykoticK9 i need to compile the software i think | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | Rafay: You didn't have to pm me to ask for me to answer how fast the download will be, that depends on how fast your Internet connection is, and to some extent, where your downloading it from | 22:47 |
| Rafay | I didn't asked for it :o | 22:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | Garnol9956, yes typically a tar.bz2 would be source code -- perfect world -- cd into the directory and run "./configure" then "make" then "sudo make install" - but that rarely goes smoothly :) | 22:47 |
| Rafay | anyway | 22:48 |
| Rafay | Thanks for answering | 22:48 |
| trism | Garnol9956: your best bet is to read the README that comes with it, and the docs on the site you got the package from | 22:48 |
| Rafay | I hope I'll have a good time with Ubuntu | 22:48 |
| Garnol9956 | i know, thats why i am looking for a tutorial but i got stock | 22:48 |
| Garnol9956 | ZykoticK9 I dont know whats wrong with this command:sudo apt-get install cvs svn git-core mercurial | 22:48 |
| trism | Garnol9956: and making sure you have the build-essential package installed is usually helpful | 22:49 |

| zymmol | l | 22:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Garnol9956, svn is not available in my install??? | 22:49 |
| trism | Garnol9956: those are several version control packages | 22:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Garnol9956, try "sudo apt-get install cvs git-core mercurial" | 22:50 |
| trism | Garnol9956: and svn is in the subversion package | 22:50 |
| jrib | ZykoticK9: cvs really? heh | 22:50 |
| Garnol9956 | trism what does this mean to me? | 22:50 |
| BlackFLAG | i just got ubuntu burned to a cd. i ran it and basically did the test trial and i like it. id like to install it on my computer. currently im running windows vista. what happens to vista when i install ubuntu? does it remain on my hard drive or should i move vista to an external hard drive? | 22:50 |
| Garnol9956 | ZykoticK9 ah now it works. The official ubuntu tutorial needs a correction i think | 22:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | jrib, it isn't for me | 22:51 |
| trism | Garnol9956: it means, why do you need all those version control systems installed? | 22:51 |
| jrib | ZykoticK9: ah | 22:51 |
| jrib | ZykoticK9: I misread the previous line as saying "there are several vcs", my mistake | 22:51 |

| jrib | Garnol9956: did you read the output? | 23:18 |
| pee | what should I do, to give another user permissions for a programm, which is installed as root. it's unp. | 23:19 |
| safe | jrib: I pinged out, did you say something? | 23:19 |
| Garnol9956 | jrib the first and last lines, but i didnt find the mistake | 23:19 |
| jrib | safe: I haven't seen a full hard drive cause the deletion of files before, no. I don't know how you would get them back | 23:19 |
| Paulo39 | hi, do you now if is there possible to share a folder in Dropbox with a person who doesn't have an account yet? does she/he have to make an account to be able to access to that folder? | 23:19 |
| trism | Garnol9956: did you install the linux-headers package? | 23:19 |
| jrib | Garnol9956: well I doubt the shell remark is related, but do it anyway to rule it out. Then make sure you've installed the headers for your kernel | 23:20 |
| Halitech | Paulo39, there is a public share on the web interface you can share files that way I believe | 23:20 |
| Garnol9956 | trism what are the windows headers packages? | 23:20 |
| safe | jrib: Then I will just reformat, it was long overdue. Thanks for your help! | 23:20 |
| jrib | safe: seems like overkill! | 23:20 |
| trism | Garnol9956: linux-headers is the package that contains includes for compiling kernel modules | 23:21 |
| Paulo39 | Halitech, yes, i know. but its a work project i have with another colleagues and i want to share files about the project just with them | 23:21 |
| Garnol9956 | trism the command is apt-get ??? | 23:21 |
| safe | jrib: I know I can fix it, but I have all sorts of problem with my setup, it was my first ubuntu install so there's a lot of screw-ups. | 23:21 |
| trism | Garnol9956: sudo apt-get install linux-headers | 23:21 |
| jrib | safe: ah | 23:21 |
| cirdan_ | hey all, anyone know much about the 9.10 upgrade? i did it, and now it fubar'd grub up... i've since installed grub2, and it thinks things are fine but it errors out saying the /dev/disk/by-uuid isn't present. it's not | 23:21 |
| m0r0n | Everytime I load aMSN my keyboard starts erasing everything and I can no longer type does this happen to anyone? | 23:21 |
| Halitech | Paulo39, I think they would need an account then to share safely | 23:21 |
| Garnol9956 | jrib i tried the make=SHELL ..... same result | 23:22 |
| Halitech | !9.10 cirdan_ | 23:22 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 9.10 cirdan_ | 23:22 |
| cirdan_ | :) | 23:22 |
| Halitech | !9.10 | cirdan_ | 23:22 |
| ubottu | cirdan_: Karmic Koala is the codename for Ubuntu 9.10, due October 29th, 2009 - Karmic is BETA and MAY break - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 23:22 |
| pee | (00:19:07) pee: what should I do, to give another user permissions for a programm, which is installed as root. it's unp. | 23:22 |
| m0r0n | Everytime I load aMSN my keyboard starts erasing everything and I can no longer type does this happen to anyoneth? | 23:22 |
| Paulo39 | Halitech, ok, thanks | 23:22 |
| cirdan_ | ok but since it's a grub issue i thoguth i could ask here | 23:22 |
| m0r0n | Woops. | 23:22 |
| Halitech | cirdan_, 9.10 is using grub2, 9.04 uses grub so the people in #ubuntu+1 would have more info | 23:23 |
| Halitech | m0r0n, I cant get mine to connect today but prior to that, no issues | 23:23 |
| Garnol9956 | trism i am told to select "one" to install -- i just try to install every? | 23:23 |
| trism | Garnol9956: you want the one for your current kernel | 23:24 |
| trism | Garnol9956: uname -a will print the info about your running kernel | 23:24 |
| kandjar | is there a know bug using nautilus to transfer files between different computers??? I was having issue thinking my wifi connection sux while transfering files from a remote desktop to my laptop using nautilus (transfer as low as 3Kb/s); well i rescently tried with scp and it's working like a charms (600 to 700kb/s) | 23:24 |
| Ailuro | My 9.04 AMD install is not working from CD, and I'd like to try a USB install to rule out a problem with my CD burner. However, the usb-creator.exe file indicated on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick does not appear on the amd64 install CD. Is there an alternate location to find this program? | 23:27 |
| thijs_ | Hi | 23:27 |
| mrak | hello | 23:27 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, unetbootin | 23:27 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, actually, does 9.04 have a builtin creator? | 23:27 |
| Ailuro | Halitech, I am sorry but I do not understand the question. | 23:28 |
| mrak | when i have tried to client part of veejay i got this error | 23:28 |
| mrak | /usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments | 23:28 |
| mrak | do you have anybody idea where is the problem and how can i fix it ? | 23:28 |
| Garnol9956 | trism it says linux-headers-2.6.31-11-generic is already the newest version | 23:28 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, I thought 9.04 had a built in usb disk creator | 23:28 |
| thijs_ | question, i just upgraded my laptop from 8.10 to 9.04, but now it won't boot anymore. Can't get in to recovery mode, it hangs on loading hardware drivers | 23:29 |
| thijs_ | What would I do about this? I would like to be able to boot my laptop again | 23:29 |
| Ailuro | Halitech, if so I do not know where to find it. This is the first time I have tried to install Ubuntu. I downloaded the amd64 .iso and burned it to CD, but the installation process fails with a fatal error from modprobe. | 23:30 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, do you have ubuntu installed now? | 23:30 |
| Ailuro | (For that matter, testing CD integrity fails with the same error. MemTest+ worked fine) | 23:30 |
| trism | Garnol9956: you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1, the latest kernel in jaunty is 2.6.28-15 | 23:30 |
| Ailuro | Halitech, I do not. I burned the CD using Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 on Windows 2000 Professional (NT5) | 23:31 |

| Ailuro | Halitech, the computer to which I am installing is brand new, constructed last night. | 23:32 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, so there is no operating system on it now? | 23:33 |
| Bluey | what is the channel name for ubuntu 9.10? | 23:33 |
| Billiard | Bluey: ubuntu+1 i think | 23:33 |
| Ailuro | Halitech, thank you. Are there any gotchas in the Unetbootin USB creation process, or are the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick accurate? (Yes, no OS on the computer, new SATA hard drive fresh out of the bag.) | 23:34 |
| Bluey | i just installed 9.10 and I am having problems -- | 23:34 |

| thijs_ | question, i just upgraded my laptop from 8.10 to 9.04, but now it won't boot anymore. Can't get in to recovery mode, it hangs on loading hardware drivers. anyone got any tips on how to even get to a shell ? | 23:35 |
| Halitech | Ailuro, not that I know of | 23:35 |
| koshari | Ailuro just make sure the partition on the usb key is fat32 | 23:36 |
| Billiard | thijs_: i would backup data and reinstall | 23:37 |
| Halitech | thijs_, can you boot from a live cd and run fsck on the drive? | 23:38 |
| thijs_ | Billiard, alright... Well i tried reinstalling ten times, always does, kinda.. :P | 23:38 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, i haven't done that yet, does that work even ? | 23:39 |
| Halitech | thijs_, it should as long as you specify the correct drive | 23:39 |
| thijs_ | oh, and yeah, i don't have a livecd atm.. :P | 23:39 |
| Halitech | thijs_, what kind of laptop and what kind of video card? | 23:40 |
| Ailuro | While I am creating the USB installation, any hints on what "modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/modules.dep: No such file or directory" indicates? | 23:40 |
| synackfin | is there any way to make cp or rsync pre-allocate the files they're copying so it doesn't fragment? | 23:40 |
| thijs_ | ati radeon mobility hd 3400 | 23:40 |
| Halitech | thijs_, did you install the ati drivers before you rebooted? | 23:41 |
| thijs_ | ehh, no.. =/ | 23:41 |
| Hagus | Does Action_parsnip come into this channel? | 23:42 |
| Halitech | thijs_, ok, then it shouldn't be an issue with the ati drivers | 23:42 |
| dragonkh | hi | 23:43 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, does that mean i didn't install the ati drivers on 8.10, or after the 9.04 install? | 23:43 |
| thijs_ | because i did install them on 8.10 | 23:43 |
| dragonkh | I just installed ruby from source on my ubuntu server as root - but my reqular users cant use any of the gems like rake- they get permission denied - what perms do I need to set on my /usr/local/bin dir ? | 23:43 |
| resno_ | Hagus: i believe so. | 23:44 |
| Halitech | thijs_, the ati drivers were better in 8.10 and below, when 9.04 introduced the new version of Xorg, things started breaking, especially for cards under the HD series | 23:45 |
| Hagus | resno_: I just wanted him to know that a tip he gave worked very nicely :) | 23:45 |

| roracle82 | hey guys i have this school project and i was wondering if i could use screenshots of ubuntu for the project. it's supposed to be a user's manual for technical writing | 23:45 |
| ne0futur | hi all, searching for config tools for ubuntu I found ubuntu-manager ( http://ubuntu-manager.tavux.info ) | 23:45 |
| Gummi | roracle82, what is the problem? | 23:45 |
| ne0futur | is it stable ? why is it not in the default sources.list ? | 23:46 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, auch, alright, so how would i fix this? because installing 9.04 from livecd gave me the same problem | 23:46 |
| === NiteSnow is now known as AssHat | ||
| === Chybeck`Aw is now known as Chybeck | ||
| ne0futur | or does ubuntu have another tool like this ? | 23:46 |
| Gummi | roracle82, the screenshot button is above Insert button, between F12 and scroll lock | 23:46 |
| Halitech | thijs_, don't use 9.04 | 23:46 |
| roracle82 | i know this, i just didn't know if it was okay to do such a thing, though i figured it was | 23:46 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, should i try 9.10? | 23:46 |
| roracle82 | just covering my butt is all | 23:47 |
| Halitech | thijs_, worth a shot | 23:47 |
| === AssHat is now known as NiteSnow | ||
| Gummi | roracle82, just change the default theme, so it doesnt look this bad :D | 23:47 |
| roracle82 | lol, right? | 23:47 |
| Halitech | thijs_, although 9.10 is using the newer version of Xorg so it may not work either unless the open source drivers are better | 23:47 |
| Hagus | I was using powerpoint/impress on a desktop ubuntu9.04 to create a presentation using vista on a laptop and I needed to eliminate undesired whitespaces. | 23:47 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, alright, will try that this weekend, got no livecds here right now, so none os to download and mount them into my cd drive | 23:48 |
| roracle82 | haha, okay thanks guys | 23:48 |
| thijs_ | aw.. | 23:48 |
| Gummi | roracle82, yes but I urge you to do that | 23:48 |
| Hagus | By using oo3 on both desktop and laptop, the problem was resolved. | 23:48 |

| thijs_ | Halitech, thank you for your time. This weekend i'll buy some new cds.. though pretty bad 'bout the driver issue. | 23:50 |
| trism | progesterone: add it to .bashrc | 23:50 |
| prince_jammys | progesterone: put it in your ~/.bashrc | 23:51 |
| prince_jammys | progesterone: or uncomment it there, since it's likely there already as a comment. | 23:51 |
| thijs_ | Halitech, you see there's someone who got it working on 9.04, but the problem is, my laptop doesn't show me a terminal, which leaves me to a dead end on the tutorial | 23:51 |
| Halitech | thijs_, yeah, bad timing by ati, xorg and everyone at the same time to leave old ati cards and their users out in the cold so to speak | 23:51 |
| bartek | Hey there. I just switched my dual monitor setup from using my TV to another regular 19" LCD. Problem is, with the same setup (using Virtual in xorg.conf), the second monitor simply does not work out. It's mirrored first of all, when I tell it not to be and the resolution is a mess. I'm using an ATI card. Any recommendations on where to start on this? | 23:52 |
| roracle82 | oh i was wondering, is 9.10 going to detect my windows 7 installation for grub? | 23:52 |
| live | hi everu body | 23:52 |

| progesterone | prince_jammys cool. It works. Thanks | 23:55 |
| roracle82 | see, i have win 7 and xp on this system, but ubuntu won't detect windows 7 | 23:55 |
| trism | WanHouse: uh, what? | 23:56 |
| Kuifje111 | you can download it already with some effort. | 23:56 |
| prince_jammys | progesterone: welcome. | 23:56 |
| Kuifje111 | dpanda: compatible with what? with each other? | 23:56 |
| skylar_ | Quick question, one i'm sure gets asked a lot but I can't find a answer I trust enough. I have a Nvidia Geforce graphics card, and everytime i restart I have to change the "Nvida X server settings" all over again to get my desired resolution | 23:56 |
| Kuifje111 | dpanda: with each other is basic computer knowledge, there are probably tutorials on the net. it basically goes like this: you begin with a motherboard and from there all other parts need to be compatible with the motherboard. | 23:57 |
| teofren | anyone heard of a driver for SIS771 video? | 23:57 |
| dpanda | Kuifje111: oh sorry i did not make myself clear, ubuntu compatible hardware, you see i am thinking of going back to ubuntu instead of spending for win7 | 23:57 |
| Halitech | skylar_, funny enough I was just looking that issue up, check here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1221072&highlight=nvidia | 23:57 |
| skylar_ | heh. | 23:57 |
| snellcode | dpanda: i just set up a new comp with ubuntu actually! | 23:57 |
| dpanda | Kuifje111: so all regular processor and mobo will be good with ubuntu i guess | 23:58 |
| dpanda | snellcode: oh nice! share the specs please :) | 23:58 |
| Kuifje111 | dpanda: I dont think you'll face any comaptibility problems with new hardware, but I am not 100% sure with that. | 23:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | skylar_, are you using "gksudo nvidia-settings" when you "Save Current Configuration" - it needs root access to right to /etc/X11/xorg.conf... good luck. | 23:58 |
| Kuifje111 | dpanda: yes, I think so. | 23:58 |
| skylar_ | Halitech: He descriped the exact same problem | 23:58 |

| adams | new ubuntu is amazing | 23:58 |
| adams | found a few bugs already | 23:58 |
| Halitech | dpanda, most hardware should be good and only things like the video card (safe if you go Nvidia) wireless and printers may give issues | 23:58 |
| dpanda | Kuifje111: yes coz my past experience with ubuntu was not so please due to a very incompatible cheap lenovo laptop | 23:59 |
| dpanda | snellcode: how much for the core5 | 23:59 |
| Kuifje111 | dpanda: yeah, that is possible. as long as you do not have very rare hardware like in laptops you wont face any problems, I think. | 23:59 |
| snellcode | dpanda: cheap | 23:59 |
