| ngirard | Hi all. I've just finished installing ubuntu on a new laptop. I'm now wondering how to get my data from my old hard disk to my new one. The old /home is an ext3 partition which I access via usb, and the user id has changed (was 501, now 1000). What would you advice me ? Copy then chown -R ? | 00:00 |
| erUSUL | resno_: should not | 00:00 |
| Jeruvy | resno_: no, but thats no excuse not to backup first :) | 00:00 |

| furuno | resno_ : yes | 00:01 |
| tonyyarusso | ngirard: Or chown then copy; either way should be fine. | 00:01 |

| ngirard | erUSUL, tonyyarusso : Hi there. Isn't there a magical option to mount.ext3 that would translate the old user id to the new one, by chance ? | 00:02 |
| tonyyarusso | ngirard: maybe | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | ngirard: no; but chowning is fast and there is no dwonsides (we are not talking chmod here and this are not system files). just "chown -R $USER:$USER folder/" | 00:03 |

| Industrial | I have some keybindings in compiz that let me switch to a specific workspace in gnome that are also defined in the gnome keybinds interface (apparently). I can't seem to get these keys to work with the 'Desktop Wall' however they do work with the Cube. I don't want the Cube (because it cant handle a 3x3 workspace grid, only #x1). Is there any solution for this? | 00:05 |

| ZykoticK9 | seth_, if you turn autologic off and login normally - it won't ask you for the keyring password, it's a cache22 -- i think you have to type you password one way or the other. good luck man. | 00:20 |

| furuno | mldlg : in a vat file system? | 00:21 |

| furuno | mldlg : I don't tink vfat support it | 00:21 |
| m1dlg | it's fat32 | 00:21 |
| m1dlg | ok | 00:21 |
| m1dlg | that kinds of why the sharing fails then | 00:22 |
| Jeruvy | StrangeCharm: thats how twinview works. Don't like it then either resize windows normally or don't use twinview. | 00:22 |
| furuno | mldlg : but, if you don't want somebody to acces your files from windows, try naminb the folder "con" | 00:22 |
| furuno | mldlg : pretty funny | 00:22 |
| erUSUL | m1dlg: permissions/ownership on vfat fs are "faked" at mount time following mount options or fstab | 00:22 |

| erUSUL | m1dlg: the same in ntfs | 00:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | StrangeCharm, twinview should NOT be maximizing windows across both screens - this is NOT working as intended! are you using gnome or another windows manager? | 00:23 |
| StrangeCharm | Jeruvy, it is not how twinview worked under 9.04: things behaved as desired. | 00:23 |

When i boot ubuntu 9.10 with both monitors hooked up, it crashes at the very end of the boot sequence.

| JerVA | Go to updates tab | 01:19 |
| Cyber-Dogg | JerVA: i've looked and I only see 185 | 01:19 |
| JerVA | click on whatever OS you are using-proposed | 01:19 |
| JerVA | then press close - it should communicate with the update manager | 01:20 |
| diffra | phenom: when you consider the task of upgrading windows versions, say XP-> vista, it's just as, if not more risky. I've never seen an upgraded windows install that worked as well as a fresh one. | 01:20 |
| Tommy3 | Delvien: all outputs are max volume and not muted. | 01:20 |
| phenom | zer0ne, Nice answer. You're one of those people that says,, "just leave" america,, when I mention something I don't like.. Well this is my Country you mook. And Ubuntu is my distro. | 01:20 |
| JerVA | and it should get the NVIDIA latest driver | 01:20 |

| thieusoai | JerVA: I was able to log in via NIS just fine, all network / internet works (i.e., if I log in using tty1 and try using elinks and such -> all work). It's just in X when try to open some internet apps like firefox , the application hangs. | 01:37 |

| Trupsalms | how to register username | 01:45 |
| Delvien | p1und3r: during install, you would of had to specify it | 01:45 |
| thieusoai | JerVA: the problem seems to be related to X , because all network-related apps work fine when I don't log in X | 01:45 |
| SirFunk | coz_: i havn't tried it yet... i bookmarked it though, i'll try it later when i get home | 01:45 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | our Vista PC can no longer access the shared files | 01:46 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | it can see the mounted External hard drive. and the containing folders | 01:46 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | but it cannont access the folders | 01:46 |
| p1und3r | Delvien: ah ok I shud be gold then, thanks for your help | 01:46 |
| coz_ | SirFunk, ok I dont think you will be disappointed some of these plugins are quite useful although experimental | 01:46 |
| JerVA | Did you research what issues are into X while local clients are working properly? | 01:46 |
| goose | xXHalfSliceXx: how did you install? | 01:46 |
| Delvien | p1und3r: yw | 01:46 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | well. my XP pc has no problem accessing it | 01:46 |
| SirFunk | coz_: cool thanks | 01:46 |
| thieusoai | JerVA: I am not sure what to do research on --- I don't see any error msg or anything suspicious in the logs | 01:47 |
| coz_ | SirFunk, no problem ,, if you have trouble with them later meet us in #compiz | 01:47 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | ubuntu does a check every 2 days for new software updates GOOSE | 01:47 |
| kostkon | xXHalfSliceXx, every day | 01:47 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | i changed it to 2 days | 01:47 |
| trollboy | clear | 01:47 |
| kostkon | xXHalfSliceXx, ah | 01:47 |
| Delvien | kostkon: you can change it :p | 01:47 |
| goose | xXHalfSliceXx: how did you install ubuntu? wubi or startup? | 01:47 |
| trollboy | there we go, sorry about that | 01:47 |
| code | Jaunty, x not loading? | 01:48 |
| kostkon | Delvien, yeah, i meant what it does by default | 01:48 |
| Trupsalms | how to register user name | 01:48 |
| goose | Trupsalms: /msg nickserv help register | 01:48 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | GOOSE: just did the apply all updates. and the new version was part of it | 01:48 |
| JerVA | thieusoai, did you try to reinstall the X and see if it responds ? | 01:48 |
| nnz | fiorov, I have opened the folder and those files arn't there. | 01:49 |
| SirFunk | coz_: what's the name of the package that has the compiz setting manager? i don't seem to have it installed | 01:49 |
| trollboy | I'm using usb to serial adaptors to hook up miltiple external modems, here's the issue though.. only /dev/ttyUSB0 shows up, there is no /dev/ttyUSB2 | 01:49 |
| goose | xXHalfSliceXx: you're not answering my question. how did you put ubuntu on the machine? did you put the disc in your computer and restart it, or did you start your computer in windows and put the disc in and install it? | 01:49 |
| JerVA | and see if performance with clients resolved? | 01:49 |
| trollboy | even though I've all 3 plugged in | 01:49 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | oh. originallyy | 01:49 |
| coz_ | SirFunk, compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:49 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | used a CD | 01:49 |

| thieusoai | JerVA: actually I do a fresh reinstall on a new machine and same exact problem. | 01:49 |
| * goose headdesks | 01:49 | |
| xXHalfSliceXx | startup | 01:49 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | sorry. i was misunderstanding you | 01:49 |
| nnz | #sigh# | 01:49 |
| fiorov | then see INSTALL file | 01:50 |
| JerVA | You just got the new machine ? Did you have issues appearing before you got the new machine? | 01:50 |
| xXHalfSliceXx | was a blank HD | 01:50 |
| fiorov | there should be instructions | 01:50 |
| thieusoai | JerVA: the fact that it happens on all client machines running various Linux distributions show something is wrong on the serverside | 01:50 |
| goose | xXHalfSliceXx: ok, do you have the necessary software on windows to access ext file systems? | 01:50 |
| nnz | there is no install file. | 01:50 |
| thieusoai | JerVA: no, the Server remains the same, the clients -- all 10+ of them have the same problems, | 01:50 |

| thieusoai | k thanks JerVA | 01:52 |
| JerVA | I'll be there - others may can answer better than I do but same time I may can help you | 01:52 |
| agus | I'm not sure | 01:53 |
| goose | xXHalfSliceXx: "ext" is the format of the file system linux uses. windows cannot access it out of the box, you need to download software that will allow windows to read/write to/from ext file formats. | 01:53 |
| fiorov | nnz: those are _NOT_ sources | 01:53 |
| brad_ | kostkon, where do i find it | 01:53 |
| fiorov | it contains binaries | 01:53 |
| kostkon | brad_, just give: sudo apt-get install tcl-dev ;) | 01:53 |

| scunizi | nnz: there's 1300 people in here.. not everyone follows what you're saying. They are paying attention to other threads. so what's up? | 02:09 |
| kostkon | nnz, then, choose some other app to compile | 02:10 |
| nnz | there is no make, install or whatever!!! | 02:10 |
| mordof | usser: essentially i'd like to auto-hide it on the left hand side seemlessly, always on top, so that the other programs are underneath, with a 1px edge | 02:10 |
| mordof | usser: do you know if wbar is capable of that? | 02:10 |
| hajmola | randomusr, You can do it in Firefox by typing in the address bar about:config and changing general.autoScroll to true | 02:10 |
| greezmunkey | nnz, You gonna pull those pistols, or just whistle dixie. | 02:10 |
| gyyg | usser: that puts out a huge output with nothing that says attacking | 02:10 |
| scunizi | nnz: you want ./config make makeinstall? install build-essential | 02:10 |
| pasteeater | i do I "refresh" bash so it knows a binary is in /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin? | 02:10 |

| greezmunkey | randomusr, what does that do? | 02:12 |
| kostkon | vdub, not bad, although it reminds me of this http://fosswire.com/post/2008/4/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/ | 02:12 |
| scunizi | nnz: you don't need that for a binary program | 02:12 |
| coz_ | nnz, let me download that and look hold on | 02:12 |
| nnz | this is my files : http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/ | 02:12 |
| nnz | thank you so much scunizi and coz | 02:13 |
| randomusr | it works the way I want to now. Thanks | 02:13 |
| deviant-route | scunizi, have you been able to connect to facebookchat lately? | 02:13 |
| usser | gyyg, i meant to say grep -i "attacking" filename, -i ignores case for matches | 02:13 |
| tonyyarusso | nnz: If you want to compile it, you need to download the source. What the heck are you trying to do? | 02:13 |
| nicle | nnz: it's binary package, just extract it /usr/local, and run : /usr/local/thunderbird/thunderbird | 02:13 |
| pasteeater | logging out the user refreshes the location of new binaries, but that's just inefficient. must be a better way. | 02:13 |

| nnz | I really appreaciate you help | 02:13 |
| deviant-route | scunizi, ok | 02:13 |

| usser | iarp, i meant in order to match stuff like "*.c" you have to use egrep, grep doesnt allow regular expression, so you could write grep .c but that would give you lines where there's .c lines like hello.carl.html would be matched | 02:31 |
| kostkon | Addicts, i think it's a compiz feature | 02:31 |

| usser | xtsuname, ubuntu doesnt have root account by default you use sudo to gain admin permissions. Since you created a username for yourself hackers will have to actually guess your username AND the password when in the case of debian for example where root is enabled by default they only have to guess password | 02:37 |

| kevin__ | anyone know how to get flash to work smoothly in firefox?? i'm at a loss.. I've tried installing adobe's version, and performing a sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 02:48 |
| a94060 | if i wanted to learn gui programming, would it be better to start off in gtk or qt? | 02:49 |
| jbob | nnz: apt-get source downloads the source code for you | 02:49 |
| drj1 | Mouse not lefthanding issue- clarification- have checked the System Preferences Mouse and that isn't working- I know there is a terminal command to set the mouse as left or right...but I don't recall waht it is or how to set it... | 02:49 |
| xtsuname | usser, I think I might have misread. I'll re-read the guide you gave me. Thank you | 02:49 |
| usser | a94060, qt is much nicer to program on | 02:49 |
| inivex | a9406: if you're using ubuntu, gtk | 02:49 |
| asarch | I cannot mount those kind of cards Legendre | 02:49 |
| AaronM | mnml the use macchanger to change the mac then use ifconfig to set the reset | 02:49 |
| nnz | I am stressing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 02:49 |
| AaronM | s/reset/rest | 02:49 |
| a94060 | kevin__: could it be drivers that is a problem? I remember that it would lag without correct drivers | 02:49 |
| nnz | my mind is getting more fragile. | 02:50 |
| Legendre | asarch: and if you can't tell me what type of reader it is, I can't help you. | 02:50 |
| Legendre | asarch: last chance.. is it a USB reader or what? | 02:50 |
| flan_suse | On Karmic, how do I hide / modify what gets displayed under the "Places" menu? I want to hide icons for devices that do not need to show under "Places" such as encrypted partitions or RAM disks, etc. (I already know how to hide icons on the desktop.) | 02:50 |
| a94060 | inivex,usser: Thanks. I am on ubuntu so i was thinking gtk also | 02:50 |
| === MajorGeek is now known as Ethan | ||
| zopiac | so i deleted a folder in my Home folder (containing only a video file) and for some reason my entire desktop folder was erased! However, the folders and desktop icons still showed up, but attempting to open them game me a Not Found error. Can anyone help? D: | 02:50 |
| asarch | Ok. Sorry, it is an integrated card reader Legendre | 02:50 |
| asarch | (From a laptop) | 02:50 |
| Legendre | asarch: I see. | 02:50 |
| kostkon | nnz, why don't you start learning some python, pygtk and check quickly also. | 02:51 |
| nnz | I don't know how to compile, how the hell am i going to know apt get commands!!!!!!!!!!!! | 02:51 |
| asarch | Sorry for misunderstand your question Legendre | 02:51 |
| Legendre | asarch: try this. Remove the SD card, wait ten seconds. Then, insert the SD card.. wait ten seconds. | 02:51 |
| a94060 | nnz: apt get is a ubuntu command haha | 02:51 |
| usser | a94060, there's also different bindings for both qt and gtk, if you dont like c which gtk is written in my personal favorite is wxwidgets+python | 02:51 |

| kevin__ | a94060, graphics/video drivers? | 02:52 |
| kostkon | nnz, python is an interpreted lang, you don't need to compile it | 02:52 |
| Salvad | Hello. | 02:52 |
| Legendre | asarch: pastebin, obviously.. | 02:52 |
| a94060 | kevin__: yea it could be possible that your graphics card was not detected/drivers under ubuntu werent installed. All i can think of | 02:52 |
| nnz | a94060 ; what the hell is your problem!!! did you even read what I typed!!!? | 02:52 |
| Salvad | I have a very generic keyboard. | 02:53 |
| ReL1K | anyone using the nvidia 230m's successfully on 9.10? | 02:53 |

| kostkon | nnz, eh, apt-get source python? | 02:53 |
| kevin__ | a94060, well i installed the reccommened NVIDIA driver when i installed ubuntu -- but it offered two (version 173, and the rec. version 185) | 02:53 |
| flan_suse | Legendre: I believe Texas Instrument media card readers have problems with Linux support. | 02:53 |
| usser | speaking of python here's a nice little util i wrote to convert videos for my mp3 player http://pastebin.com/f1576c2bf | 02:53 |
| usser | :) | 02:53 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: Go with 185. | 02:53 |
| kevin__ | a94060, would you advise trying the other? -- | 02:54 |
| Salvad | Is there some brandish keyboard that could be similar to mine? | 02:54 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: 190 is actually the latest. | 02:54 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, im using 185 now | 02:54 |
| a94060 | nnz: Apologies, totally did not read what you said | 02:54 |

| xtsuname | usser, pardon my asking but, after I set that up, can I still ssh in using other compuers as long as I have the correct username and password? | 02:54 |
| Jeruvy | kevin__: 186 is available fyi | 02:54 |
| Salvad | It has some multimedia keys at the top. | 02:54 |
| a94060 | kevin__: I would say take the newer revision | 02:54 |
| inivex | 186 isn't available? | 02:54 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: There is an installer from Nvidia's web site for Linux. | 02:54 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, k i'll check this out | 02:54 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: I recommend completely uninstalling / disabling your current one first! | 02:54 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, will do, thanks | 02:55 |
| Legendre | flan_suse: thanks for the tip | 02:55 |
| usser | xtsuname, you can ssh in using other computers as long as you have your private certificate on those other computers | 02:55 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: I find it odd, because I have a crappy single core Celeron laptop with integrated Intel graphics and YouTube plays fine for me. | 02:55 |
| a94060 | any reccomendations to get battery life compared to windows xp? | 02:55 |

| dav_ | /usr/lib/f-spot/f-spot.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit Mono/.Net assembly <= why is there a windows executable in f-spot? | 02:56 |
| xtsuname | usser, I deeply apologize, however I don't see where on the guide where it tells me how to block password ssh-login and change it to certificate-only log-in | 02:56 |
| usser | xtsuname, ie public key stays on the server you want to connect, but only computers with corresponding private key can connect to that server | 02:57 |
| kostkon | dav_, actually f-spot is a mono app. | 02:57 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: I think the Nvidia web site detects what distro you're running on (based on browser agent information). | 02:57 |
| dav_ | kostkon: mono? | 02:57 |
| kostkon | dav_, and mono apps have the .exe extension | 02:57 |
| kostkon | dav_, yeah, the implementation of .net for linux | 02:57 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: With openSUSE, it gave me a link to download the installer for the 190.42 driver. But on Linux Mint 7 (Ubuntu 9.04) it gives me a link for 185.18. | 02:57 |
| paranoid_ndroid | when I use sudo apt-get remove [pack] does it delete the files saving max. disk space possible? ty | 02:57 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, hmm, i didn't see that but i found linux 190 -- i'll give it a go later tonight | 02:58 |
| flan_suse | paranoid_ndroid: To completely remove it, use sudo apt-get purge packagename | 02:58 |

| brando753 | guys i just installed LAMP, is there a nice and easy to use web admin panel out there, also anyone know how i can set up a pop3/smtp server | 02:58 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, there is such a thing as too light weight! haha .. im on 9.10 | 02:58 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: Maybe for 9.04 they only have 185, but for 9.10 190 is available. | 02:59 |
| mint | ive tried everything to reinstall it but all it does is drop me to a grub prompt | 02:59 |

| jorvis_ | O | 02:59 |

| paranoid_ndroid | flan_suse, so why am I using purge on kubuntu-desktop and he says that I'll save 49kB? | 02:59 |
| usser | xtsuname, just put PasswordAuthentication No to your /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:59 |
| Legendre | asarch: still working on it? | 02:59 |
| a94060 | mint:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 02:59 |
| flan_suse | paranoid_ndroid: kubuntu-desktop is only a meta-package. Installing it triggers the installation for all the packages needed for a "full" Kubuntu experience. | 03:00 |
| paranoid_ndroid | oh, I see | 03:00 |
| paranoid_ndroid | I need a script then | 03:00 |
| flan_suse | paranoid_ndroid: Removing "kubuntu-desktop" only removes the meta-package, unfortunately. | 03:00 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, i c, thanks for the help | 03:00 |
| asarch | Please wait, my Internet connection really sucks :-( Legendre | 03:00 |
| flan_suse | paranoid_ndroid: Try this web site. | 03:00 |

| flan_suse | paranoid_ndroid: Check this site out: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 03:01 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: Nvidia has instructions on their download page for Linux users. | 03:01 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: But make sure to uninstall completely your current Nvidia drivers. | 03:01 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, k | 03:01 |
| Legendre | asarch: I'll be afk for a few min.. | 03:01 |
| asarch | Ok | 03:02 |
| Legendre | asarch: PM me with the pbin addy | 03:02 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: It might even help if you "sudo init 3" before installing the new drivers, and then while in runlevel 3, type: sudo sh ./Nvidia-190-blah-blah.run | 03:02 |
| asarch | Ok | 03:02 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: Follow the instructions, and then finally, when it is done: sudo init 5 | 03:02 |
| Maczimus | Hello all, How do I sort the app list alphabetically in the favorites list on UNR? | 03:02 |
| xtsuname | usser, do you know whether it is true that The contents of the keyfile will be appended to the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 for RSA keys, and ~/.ssh/authorised_keys for the older DSA key types.? | 03:03 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: You can even check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to make sure it is using the "nvidia" driver, and not the "nv" driver. (nv is the open-source 2D-only driver, whereas nvidia is the propritary driver.) | 03:03 |
| usser | xtsuname, yea | 03:03 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: In the end, play it safe. Don't mess around too much. | 03:04 |
| flan_suse | Maczimus: Under Preferences, go to Main Menu, and change the order under "Favorites" | 03:04 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, heh yea -- probably using flash is not the reason im using linux | 03:04 |
| Maczimus | ahh ok thanks flan_suse | 03:04 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: I still think it's weird that on my dinky single core Celeron laptop with integrated Intel graphics, flash plays fine. | 03:05 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: Did you try flash in another browser? (Not that it will really make a difference, but you never know.) | 03:05 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: I know with Firefox, it will gradually become more and more sluggish, unless I close it and reopen the browser again. | 03:05 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, umm which would you reccomend? -- im using firefox | 03:06 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: There is Chromium, which uses the same source code as Google Chrome. | 03:06 |
| kevin__ | flan_suse, i was under impression chromium was only in beta testing and does not yet have suppport for flash along w/ many other features | 03:06 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: It supports flash now. | 03:07 |
| flan_suse | kevin__: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa | 03:07 |
| xtsuname | usser, Cool, I got it working the way I want it to. Thank you very much | 03:07 |
| usser | xtsuname, no problem | 03:07 |
| flan_suse | You can add the Karmic Chromium PPA, and then install chromium via Synaptic Package Manager. (Install 3 packages, chromium, chromium-ffmpeg, and libv8) | 03:07 |
| greezmunkey | flan_suse, So Chromium is a Linux compatible Chrome? Or is Chrome available already? | 03:07 |
| greezmunkey | er, for Linux | 03:08 |
| usser | greezmunkey, chrome-unstable is available | 03:08 |

| deviant-route | alright, but i just dont really see the use of a gui firewall | 03:19 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: You can simply tell your BIOS which hard disk to boot from, and you won't even have to worry about MBR / dual-boot issues. | 03:19 |
| travisivart | flan_suse, thanks so much, that's exactly what I needed to hear. | 03:19 |
| costal | can not? | 03:20 |
| elf_ | I've just setup a vpn using the basic example on http://tinyurl.com/m792by and can ping the server from client although can't seem to route all the client traffic through the server, any pointers? | 03:20 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: That's what I do on my desktop computer. I have Windows XP installed on a separate disk, with its own MBR, and simply hold down the ESC key when I power on so I can choose which disk to boot from. | 03:20 |
| costal | any idea how can I fix ubuntu 9.10 doesn't restart or shutdown my computer | 03:20 |
| travisivart | flan_suse, and grub should be fine recognizing windows in that fashion? | 03:20 |
| Ded1cated | flan_suse: his question is interessting anyway. when you install windows on a second harddisk, its sure it writes mbr on first disk (or boot will fail) | 03:20 |
| joe___ | costal-> is it a desktop or a laptop? | 03:21 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: If I boot from my Western Digital drive, it will boot into Windows XP. If I tell it to boot from my Samsung drive, it will boot into Linux, via Grub. (There is no entry for Windows XP in my Grub configuration, since it's not needed, as you can see.) | 03:21 |
| costal | laptop | 03:21 |
| Ded1cated | travisivart: but as mbr gets overwritte by grub anyway, it should not be nessesary to need anything like that to chainload windows from grub | 03:21 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| flan_suse | Rather than use Grub to choose what OS to boot into, I just hold down ESC and tell my BIOS what disk to boot. First disk is Windows, the other disk is Linux (Grub.) | 03:22 |

| greezmunkey | split! | 03:23 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: That's what I did. Windows uses a DANGEROUS installer. | 03:23 |
| Lint | flan_suse, how's that? | 03:23 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: He won't have to worry if he unplugs all other disks when installing Windows. The hard drive will have a fresh MBR for Windows, and the OTHER hard drive will be unaffected. | 03:23 |

| flan_suse | Lint: It has a knack for defaulting to the primary master drive, even when you wish to install to a SATA drive, and it completely destroys the MBR, which might have had the information to boot into other systems. Linux, on the other hand, is graceful and will preserve the boot entries for other OSes. | 03:24 |
| Ded1cated | travisivart: you have to tell him where, but of course :) | 03:25 |
| flan_suse | greezmunkey: Yeah, I know. That's why I love Chromium. | 03:25 |
| Trizicus | I'm used to using ALT keys in Windows and I noticed that when I try that it doesn't work in Ubuntu. What keys do I use instead? | 03:25 |
| Andrew12 | how do I change the resolution of my tty's, and boot screen to 1600x900, which is my monitor's native resolution? | 03:25 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: Alt keys? You mean typing Alt and then numbers on the numpad to enter Unicode characters? | 03:26 |
| greezmunkey | flan_suse, It seems to run my webmail w/o an issue, and fast! | 03:26 |
| Trizicus | wgrant: Yes | 03:26 |
| Ded1cated | flan_suse: instead of pressing f8 you could do a 2 liner in grub to "swap" the harddisks, so your windows hd appears as first when selected just as side note) | 03:26 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: If you want Grub to see Windows, you will have to reinstall Grub, or add it manually. But it's pointless if your BIOS allows you to choose which hard drive to boot from. | 03:26 |
| Trizicus | wgrant: It's unicode, not ASCII? | 03:26 |
| BluesKaj | hellyes, a network share or a partition on the same HDD ? | 03:26 |
| hellyes | a network share.... | 03:26 |
| Newbuntu2 | I'm having a problem with my partitions - I screwed up the MBR with GParted, it seems. Which is the right channel for booting problems? I posted the issue [http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=13765 ] and it seems it's just resetting a couple of bits, but don't know how to.... | 03:26 |
| hellyes | from a windows 7 machine | 03:26 |
| travisivart | hm, let me see if my bios does allow that | 03:26 |
| Trizicus | wgrant: Nevermind about it being ASCII that only has 127 chars... But how do I unicode lol | 03:26 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: Yes. | 03:26 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey | 03:27 |
| travisivart | I have a pretty damn new motherboard, so I don't imagine that it should have any issues | 03:27 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: It's not the same, but it's much more convenient. | 03:27 |
| Lint | flan_suse, the only significant part of MBR is 4 partition definitions. Everything else is redundant. | 03:27 |
| Trizicus | wgrant: Thanks | 03:27 |
| hellyes | BluesKaj: I need to be able to boot ubuntu and have the windows 7 shared drive be automounted | 03:27 |
| flan_suse | travisivart: My Grub is pretty much "1.) openSUSE 2.) openSUSE recovery mode 3.) Memtest" No entry for Windows XP. But, I don't need it, since I just hold ESC and tell the BIOS "Boot from my WD harddrive", which is the one with the Windows installation and MBR. | 03:27 |
| travisivart | flan_suse, that would also be the most easy way ever | 03:27 |
| hardbop200 | hi! what's the proper way to disable gdm in a xubuntu 9.10? update-rc.d -f gdm remove doesn't seem to work now... | 03:28 |
| Lint | flan_suse, obviously Windows modifies hd0's MBR, because the computer always boots from hd0 | 03:28 |
| mint | grub is giving me an error it says "initrd: command not found" | 03:28 |
| Andrew12 | ping? | 03:28 |
| leaf-sheep | pong. | 03:28 |
| Andrew12 | ok. | 03:28 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: There's probably other workarounds he can do too, but I find it pointless in this day and age, especially with the features motherboards have now, and the cheap prices of hard drives. | 03:28 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: You can just Ctrl+Shift+U <SOMENUMBERS>, then hit Enter, but you are probably better off setting up a compose key. | 03:28 |
| wgrant | Trizicus: That way you don't have to remember the crazy numbers. | 03:28 |
| travisivart | flan_suse, thanks man, i'm going to try seeing if I can just have boot options bound to a key | 03:29 |
| travisivart | Ded1cated, thanks for the help man | 03:29 |
| flan_suse | For 40 bucks I can buy a hard drive and dedicate it for Windows only. No need to mess with Grub or MBR or partitions anything. Plus, the entire drive will be dedicated, and not ruin my partition scheme on my other drives. | 03:29 |
| FCalderon | .org | 03:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | hardbop200, try gdm.conf change detailed http://paste.ubuntu.com/314778/ | 03:29 |
| Lint | wgrant, how to use Compose key? | 03:30 |
| Andrew12 | Does anybody have any clue what the hex code is for 1600x900? (resolution) | 03:30 |
| Ded1cated | flan_suse: well it fits your needs maybe, but grub has more features, like remember the last used os, and im sure you dont need that much, others do :) | 03:30 |
| mint | anybody here good with GRUB2? | 03:30 |
| hardbop200 | ZykoticK9: thank you, will do! | 03:30 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: You kind of see what I mean? I think "dual-booting" between Windows and Linux on the same drive is out-dated. Drives are cheap, motherboards are smart. Not worth the hassle, really. | 03:30 |
| wgrant | Lint: Configure a key to act as the compose key (System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts->Layout Options->Compose key position). | 03:31 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: I understand. I'm just more "to-the-point", that's all. | 03:31 |
| * Andrew12 hates it when people don't respond to what he's saying | 03:31 | |
| wgrant | Lint: Then Compose+' A will create Á, and that sort of thing. | 03:31 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: And look at what happens when you resize an NTFS partition, Windows has a fit! | 03:31 |
| Ded1cated | flan_suse: my "2 os on one disk" re-install is 2 weeks old, its absolutely not outdated. before it wasnt diffrent. switched from a raptor to a ssd | 03:32 |
| flan_suse | Ded1cated: Hey, whatever works for each person. But we probably shouldn't go on a tangent in this channel. greezmunkey, enjoy Chromium, by the way! And I'm off to bed. Night. | 03:33 |
| mirc-drifter | andrew12, calculate it | 03:33 |
| Ded1cated | flan_suse: according to ntfs resize, you always need a clean windows boot before (since last ntfs modification) and i personally never had problems with ntfs resize under linux | 03:33 |

| innomen | i have a totally blank unmounted drive that spins up for no reason at random | 03:37 |
| Ded1cated | innomen: iostat or iotop | 03:37 |
| shrike-9 | NetEcho, using ntp.org servers is more.... and they are mainly alias for õther servers, like nist | 03:37 |
| jenia | sorry | 03:37 |
| Andrew12 | does anybody know how to change a tty's resolution? | 03:38 |
| txwikinger | nobody? | 03:38 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, open terminal and mount using sudo mount /dev/sd<disk> /place/to/mount | 03:38 |

| Andrew12 | what's that? | 03:38 |
| jenia | i dont know if its appropriate to talk about it here, but i'm wondering if anyone here watches "the universe", the show | 03:38 |
| greezmunkey | txwikinger, what are you looking for? | 03:38 |

| Andrew12 | Ded1cated: What is framebuffer? | 03:39 |
| greezmunkey | !jenia | 03:39 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about jenia | 03:39 |
| Ded1cated | Andrew12: the way to get a higher console resolution. use it as keyword on the ubuntu wiki page | 03:39 |
| txwikinger | a solution for those network delays | 03:39 |
| txwikinger | very annoying | 03:39 |
| innomen | Ded1cated, this just tells me how much is being read not what is doingt he reading | 03:39 |
| tovella | jenia: is "the universe" something that pertains to Ubuntu? | 03:39 |
| Andrew12 | oh ok, i'll try that | 03:39 |
| Nautilus | I'm installing 8.04 onto a drive with XP already on it (desiring GRUB dual boot), and have manually defined a partition for ubuntu in it's setup, but it tells me "no root filesystem defined". Do I have to specify a Mount Point? (default is blank) | 03:40 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, "you must specify the file type" | 03:40 |
| jbob_ | GodfatherofEire: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Time and Date -> Keep synchronized with Internet Servers | 03:40 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, what are you trying to mount? | 03:40 |
| wgrant | Nautilus: Specify a mountpoint of '/' | 03:40 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, usb drive, fat32 | 03:40 |
| wgrant | Nautilus: (that's the root) | 03:40 |

| Out_Cold | buttons840, is that a usb drive? is it ext3 or fat? | 03:41 |

| smartasstronaut | when i try to boot i get a "Serial 8250: too much work for irq 17" error, any suggestions? | 03:41 |
| wgrant | ares623: Dropbox isn't part of Ubuntu; you'd be better off asking the Dropbox people. | 03:41 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, ^ fat32 | 03:41 |
| shrike-9 | iirc | 03:41 |
| Nautilus | wgrant: Also I want a swap partition, what Mount Point for that? | 03:41 |
| innomen | Ded1cated, both of those commands executed without result on the drive in question sdb | 03:41 |
| Ded1cated | smartasstronaut: switch plug n play bios setting for pci irq, and disable all unused devices (like serial und parallel port) | 03:41 |
| Lint | is there an application for using gpg with Clipboard? | 03:42 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, is it usb drive or hard drive? | 03:42 |
| wgrant | Nautilus: Swap isn't mounted as such. I think you should be fine just setting the type to swap. | 03:42 |
| smartasstronaut | thanx i'll try that | 03:42 |
| Andrew12 | Ded1cated: the page I'm looking at (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer) doesn't have my resolution (1600x900) | 03:42 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, it is a usb flash drive | 03:42 |
| wgrant | Lint: Probably, but why not just paste it into a terminal? | 03:42 |
| Ded1cated | innomen: i know that from experience, searched and did not found any other way to show up the "rest" | 03:42 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, I'm trying to determine which of the /dev/???? it is | 03:42 |
| greezmunkey | Hey! Anyone know about *nix hacks for wifi routers, what should I search on...? | 03:42 |
| Lint | wgrant, because terminal is from 60s? | 03:43 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, try sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mount/point | 03:43 |
| innomen | Ded1cated, so there is no way to determine what app keeps decided to take a look at my unmounted blank drive | 03:43 |
| Andrew12 | greezmunkey: you should go into a different channel... and try google. | 03:43 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, you need to have the directory already made | 03:43 |
| Ded1cated | Andrew12: there are some additional codes for resolution, but they didnt work for me either. cant use native resolution (1440x900) too | 03:43 |

| Andrew12 | Ded1cated: Ah. | 03:44 |
| buttons840 | Out_Cold, thanks, funny enough, when i mounted to a folder, the usb shortcut then shows up | 03:44 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o uid=1000,gid=100,utf8,dmask=027,fmask=137 is the command taken from help.ubuntu.com and gives your user proper permissions | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | innomen: If you think that some userland process is trying to access it as a block device you can do "sudo fuser /dev/whatever" | 03:44 |
| Ded1cated | innomen: there cant be much when not mounted and blank. maybe there isnt anything at all? | 03:44 |
| innomen | Jordan_U, i did that no result, its a totally blank drive | 03:45 |
| Out_Cold | buttons840, that happens ;) | 03:45 |
| Ded1cated | Andrew12: there are diffrent framebuffer "drivers", some are capable with custom resolutions, but i think they dont always run with closed graphic drivers. | 03:45 |
| innomen | Ded1cated, if there is nothing at all then why does it spin up? i have the hdparm set to spin down afetr 5 minutes and yet it staying hot, it spins up and down at random it seems | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | innomen: Try looking in dmesg when it spins up or when you plug it in ( if it's external ) | 03:45 |
| innomen | Jordan_U, its internal | 03:45 |
| innomen | dmesg? | 03:46 |

| greezmunkey | 1337ingDisorder, There is a nvidia specific command to reconfigure xorg.conf... I'd have to look for it. | 04:02 |
| Billiard | blackberry: try adding the line | 04:02 |
| bastidrazor | freaky[t]: irssi is the best irc client regardless of DE | 04:02 |

| bao_ | does ubuntu apache use conf.d? | 04:02 |
| kostkon | rubix, install it from the repos. the package is flashplugin-nonfree | 04:02 |

| Wesgizmo365 | Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I just finished building a computer for the first time, and am trying to install ubuntu on it (obviously). However, the screen keeps saying "operating system not found," and I have no clue what to do. | 04:03 |
| Billiard | blackberry: yes if its not there add in timestamp_timeout=-1 | 04:03 |
| rubix | kostkon, so sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 04:03 |
| kostkon | rubix, yeap, or use synaptic | 04:03 |
| Bell_Labs | Wesgizmo365: go into the bios and change the boot order | 04:03 |
| Wesgizmo365 | already did that, Bell_Labs. | 04:03 |
| blackberry | Billiard: so won't hurt to add that entire line? "Defaults timestamp_timeout=-1" ? | 04:03 |
| Wesgizmo365 | I'll try again though. | 04:04 |
| rubix | kostkon, brand new to ubuntu, explain. | 04:04 |
| Billiard | blackberry: shouldnt hurt | 04:04 |
| Bell_Labs | Wesgizmo365: also check your installation media, preferably with an md5 hash | 04:04 |

| kevin_ | I use my laptop with an external monitor when at home and by itself when I am on the move. The icons on the top menu bar in gnome always get scrambled when I switch.

| enav | i can activate the twenview but cant save changes | 04:09 |
| Billiard | enav: maybe try renaming your xorg.conf to back it up and let nvidia-config create one from scratch, if you dont have any customizations in your xorg.conf | 04:09 |
| ctmjr | enav: sudo nvidia-xconfig --force then gksu nvidia-settings you only need to run then nvidia-xconfig script once | 04:09 |
| booksbuggy | anyone using the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-185.18.36-pkg1" package in ubuntu 9.04? | 04:09 |
| enav | ok | 04:09 |
| freaky[t] | are u guys using other styles than the default for gnome? like other icons/window borders and so on? | 04:10 |
| wgrant | booksbuggy: You want to use System->Administration->Hardware Drivers, not the downloads directly from nvidia. | 04:10 |
| enav | i tryed that before and does work | 04:10 |
| angelus | freaky[t] i am .... | 04:10 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], yea I am | 04:10 |
| booksbuggy | wgrant: the problem is that the hardware driver doesn't have anything | 04:10 |
| nicle | freaky[t]: I am using the sytle: clearlook, and it's clean, nice | 04:10 |
| Wesgizmo365 | Does it matter if I use a DVD-ROM instead of a CD-ROM to put ubuntu on to install it at first? | 04:10 |
| freaky[t] | hm ok. ... ill have a look at stuff i find looking nice ;D | 04:10 |

| iLoveWindows | I don't know | 04:12 |
| iLoveWindows | thats the other problem | 04:12 |
| knoppies | freaky[t], if you use synaptic-package-manager, then install the compiz advanced settings manager. yes it is | 04:12 |
| iLoveWindows | it lets me save some type of log but I don't see it. | 04:12 |
| enav | ubottu i tryed to do that before but does work | 04:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 04:12 |
| iLoveWindows | its either hidden in which case I don't know how I would make it visible again | 04:12 |

| iLoveWindows | is there an alternative to gparted? | 04:15 |
| MrSchmo | anyone figure a fix to samba accessing windows 7 share? | 04:15 |

| n8tuser | iLoveWindows-> fdisk cfdisk sfdisk | 04:15 |
| enav | i want to setup dual monitor but the gksudo nvidia-settings cant save the changes | 04:15 |

| iLoveWindows | n8tuser: how do I go about (command wise) formatting a USB Flash drive with FAT32 file system | 04:16 |
| Billiard | enav: after running, sudo nvidia-xconfig --force , you still have the problem ? | 04:16 |
| iLoveWindows | on /dev/sdc1 | 04:16 |
| enav | humm | 04:16 |
| iLoveWindows | with cfdsik | 04:16 |
| enav | i didt try that | 04:17 |
| n8tuser | iLoveWindows-> you can use fdisk, then from the menu you select the code for fat32, i think 82.. but check the menu to be sure | 04:17 |
| Billiard | enav: we told you to try it a few times now | 04:17 |
| enav | ok | 04:17 |
| greezmunkey | Billiard, That's what I was looking for (pasted for future reference), thanks! | 04:17 |
| enav | sudo nvidia-xconfig --force ????? | 04:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | enav, in a terminal (Applications/Accessories/Terminal) type the following (NOT the $s) - http://paste.ubuntu.com/314805/ | 04:17 |

| ctmjr | ZykoticK9: you do not need to back it up anymore when you run nvidia-xconfig it backs up the old one | 04:19 |
| enav | nvidia-xconfig: unrecognized option: "--force" | 04:19 |
| Billiard | enav: do what ZykoticK9 says | 04:19 |
| n8tuser | iLoveWindows-> fdisk , then from the menu select l to list the types | 04:19 |
| kostkon | Silent_Echo, :) | 04:19 |

| l337ingDisorder | enav: nm, do what ZykoticK9 just said that's more efficient | 04:30 |
| enav | ok | 04:30 |
| CoolFox | its too big of a security risk. | 04:30 |
| MrSchmo | scunizi, know anything about it on windows 7 side | 04:30 |
| eshannon | russlar: Awesome transfer all my files back over to it. Thanks for the help | 04:30 |
| elky | suleman, not all people are going to understand "wat" to mean "what". especially not those for who english is a second or third language. | 04:30 |
| enav | gksu nvidia-settings is not the same as gksudo nvidia-settings????? | 04:31 |
| Silent_Echo | CoolFox...tell me if u get an answer/solution to that i agree and would like to know too | 04:31 |
| MrSchmo | i disabled 128 bit security on windows 7 and still not working | 04:31 |
| MeVsTheVoices | fooj: I don't understand what you are saying. You want to get statistics on net usage of your program up down loos etc? | 04:31 |
| suleman | elky, sury | 04:31 |
| suleman | elky, sorry | 04:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | enav same thing gksu = gksudo | 04:31 |
| CoolFox | Silent_Echo, you too, eh? jeez, Fedora had the same issue with Sulfur. | 04:31 |
| eshannon | I get this error when I try to upgrade "E: The package adobe-flashplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." | 04:31 |
| iLoveWindows | If I wanted to create a bootable windows installation USB drive, I would use FAT32 right? | 04:31 |
| MeVsTheVoices | iLoveWindows: Yarp | 04:31 |
| scunizi | MrSchmo: when you share the folder on windows there are a couple of areas to set permissions.. ##windows for more | 04:31 |
| enav | WOW its worksssss | 04:32 |
| fooj | MeVsTheVoices: yes | 04:32 |
| CoolFox | and, yes, i've tired googling it. | 04:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | How does uptime determine how many users are logged in? | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | iLoveWindows, ask in ##windows perhaps | 04:32 |
| enav | i will post the solution on ubuntu foums | 04:32 |
| iLoveWindows | Yes but I got no choice but to use gparted at the moment | 04:32 |
| greezmunkey | enav rocks | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Mike-LaMar, it doesn't -- uptime and users logged in are completely separate | 04:32 |
| iLoveWindows | My CD drive is broken so I have to install Windows Vista through a USB drive | 04:32 |
| iLoveWindows | and gparted keeps erroring every time I try to format my USB disk with a fat32 file system | 04:33 |
| iLoveWindows | It's driving me crazy. | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Mike_lifeguard, it doesn't -- uptime and users logged in are completely separate (sorry other guy) | 04:33 |
| Silent_Echo | question to the room, whats the most user friendly karaoke program for ubuntu? | 04:33 |
| wgrant | ZykoticK9: I presume that Mike_lifeguard means the command 'uptime'. | 04:33 |
| ctmjr | iLoveWindows: good luck with that | 04:33 |
| enav | aparentrly gksudo is different of gksu | 04:33 |
| Mike_lifeguard | wgrant: Yes, that's correct. | 04:33 |
| MeVsTheVoices | fooj: Alrighty, this is a little lazy but it is by far the easiest. Close all other programs that would even be connecting and watch over the network monitor | 04:33 |
| iLoveWindows | ctmjr: a little help would be nice... | 04:33 |
| iLoveWindows | Luck left my side as soon as I installed Linux | 04:33 |
| _diablo | is there a better way to get help than posting my problem every minute or so? my sound isn't working. | 04:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | wgrant: To be more specific, does it count detached screen sessions as being that user logged in? | 04:34 |
| wgrant | Mike_lifeguard: It uses /var/log/utmp | 04:34 |
| MeVsTheVoices | fooj: Or, if you want to get better stats, use: netstat | 04:34 |
| Mike_lifeguard | wgrant: well, that doesn't exist on my system, so maybe not? :\ | 04:34 |
| wgrant | Mike_lifeguard: Note that there is the rather more modern 'ck-list-sessions' command which might also be useful for your purposes. | 04:34 |
| MeVsTheVoices | iLoveWindows: Whats the error? | 04:34 |
| wgrant | Mike_lifeguard: /var/run/utmp, sorry. | 04:34 |

| Silent_Echo | _diablo....try the forums if a solution isnt already out there, then you can start a thread, but i think enough ppl have had that problem for it to b posted somewhere... | 04:36 |
| kostkon | Silent_Echo, check this http://ultrastardx.sourceforge.net/ if you want. it's a karaoke game, though, but it's really good | 04:36 |
| greezmunkey | Nautilus, Edit your boot.ini file from windows, make it read/write first. | 04:36 |
| _diablo | Silent_Echo, I've been hunting it for an hour already | 04:36 |
| fooj | MeVsTheVoices: is that like apache ab? | 04:36 |
| loong | why i use vi but it show vim? | 04:36 |
| Silent_Echo | kostkon, much oblidged | 04:36 |
| Mike_lifeguard | ZykoticK9, wgrant: OK, because uptime says 2 users; ck-list-sessions says 1; who says 1. There is one (me, who is confuzzled) :) | 04:36 |
| iLoveWindows | I told you Billiard you never got back to me | 04:36 |

| * Nautilus is looking at possible options in grub, root, savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 | 04:39 | |

| cyrus_mc | if I dont' enter it within a certain amoutn of time it just boots into the desktop | 04:42 |

| mxe | Recently, my laptop crashed due to overheating while I was running my ubuntu install (jaunty), and now, every time that I boot back up, forcedeth detects an invalid mac address on my network card. Now, this wouldn't really be a problem, except itp revents me from getting on the internet, as all of my DHCPDISCOVERS fail. Consistently. I did soe research and noticed that some people had this problem after they suspended and came back, so I tr | 04:55 |
| mxe | ied suspending it and coming back to see if it would reverse it (the MAC is often reversed, actually, always), and nothing happened. So perhaps someone here can help me, what the hell can I do to get it to properly detect my MAC again? | 04:55 |
| James_ | sumeetbali, sure? no idea why you want to though lol | 04:55 |
| cje | hopefully it will play okay | 04:55 |
| sumeetbali | <James_> just curious you got mac off wubi | 04:55 |

| kane77 | I need a little scripting help, I have lots of files that are name.ext;1 and I need to remove the ;1 from them, how would I do it? | 04:56 |
| sumeetbali | <James_> i have used wubi many times | 04:56 |
| l337ingDisorder | ctmjr: I had already figured out that the new grub system uses /etc/grub.d/* to put together grub.cfg, but looking at the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ it's clear that the scripting is beyond me. I just want to change the default boot option from the partition with 9.10 to the partition with 8.04 (the 8.04 option is already in the boot menu, I just want to make it the default). Can you help with this? | 04:56 |
| James_ | feyner, any ideas what's wrong with my bootup? | 04:56 |
| Billiard | kane77: i can help you in pm if you want | 04:56 |

| migg137 | mxe, i might have an idea that might work | 04:57 |
| kostkon | Silent_Echo, yes, it seems it's a different app but equally good. yeah, i would recommend you to give it a try | 04:57 |

| nickolaus | I'm having trouble with my wireless connection. When I left click on the status bars it says "Wireless Networks. Device not ready." I have rebooted a few times and tried "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" still no help. Any ideas? | 05:50 |
| JohnFlux | I want to get language input "just working" in ubuntu | 05:51 |
| wgrant | woodyjlw: Obscure USB devices can often cause problems like that, yeah. | 05:51 |
| JohnFlux | How can I get involved with ubuntu to get this working? | 05:51 |
| acegiak | any chance anyone can help me with a grub error? | 05:51 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: What's broken? | 05:51 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: well, out of the box, you can't type japanese | 05:51 |
| woodyjlw | so if I unplug gps before I close laptop it may wake ok? | 05:51 |
| wgrant | woodyjlw: Certainly worth a try. | 05:52 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: for example | 05:52 |
| Silent_Echo | who in here is proficient and willing to help with webcam problems | 05:52 |
| bazhang | JohnFlux, you have scim installed | 05:52 |
| woodyjlw | lol well I have to work tomorrow so I will try that and see if it fixes my wake problem...... | 05:52 |
| wgrant | bazhang, JohnFlux: And iBus as well, in Ubuntu 9.10. | 05:53 |
| wrapster | 64bit glib2-0 does not exits? | 05:53 |
| bazhang | wgrant, thanks | 05:54 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: I don't think ibus is installed automatically. And the demon is not started | 05:54 |
| woodyjlw | in 9.10 the suspend dose not work at all and wont even try to wake even with nothing in usb.... think there will be a fix soon for that cause I did like the looks of 9.10 | 05:54 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: IBus is installed by default in Ubuntu 9.10. When you run its configuration tool from System->Preferences->IBus Preferences, it will start the daemon for you. | 05:54 |
| DanaG | ibus icon is ugly. | 05:55 |
| DanaG | And ibus LATEX method is... broken. | 05:55 |
| wgrant | wrapster: It does not exist on i386 either. I presume you mean some other name. | 05:55 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: which is too late by then | 05:55 |
| DanaG | IfyoutrytousetheLATEXinputmethod, itendsupeatingallyourspaces. | 05:55 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: if you reboot, the daemon is not automatically started again | 05:55 |

| JohnFlux | wgrant: If I do: sudo apt-get remove ibus then it does not propose to remove kubuntu-desktop (which is installed). Doesn't that prove that kubuntu-desktop does not depend on ibus, and is thus not installed by default? | 05:59 |
| wgrant | wrapster: ^^ that is, yes | 05:59 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: I do not know about Kubuntu. | 05:59 |
| Lint | freaky[t], I believe there's an option in 'Settings'->'Startup applications' | 05:59 |
| wrapster | huh.. how come im unable to find it as libglib2 | 05:59 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: However, that does not mean that. | 05:59 |
| babi | means u need to shutdown your machine cause it can be tired. how many ours your computer is on? | 05:59 |
| wrapster | what should i specify the name as? | 05:59 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: The metapackages often Recommend rather than Depend on things now. | 05:59 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: Which means that while they are installed by default, they can be removed too. | 06:00 |
| acegiak | babi | 06:00 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: ah. How can I check? | 06:00 |
| babi | turnacegiak | 06:00 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop | grep ibus | 06:00 |
| babi | acegiak | 06:00 |
| acegiak | babi: booting after first install | 06:00 |
| wgrant | JohnFlux: That shows the Recommends line, so it probably recommends it. | 06:00 |
| JohnFlux | wgrant: ah, yes indeed, thanks | 06:00 |

| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. I'm going to be running apache on my linux box, but I wanted to know which version to get and where? | 06:04 |
| wgrant | wrapster: No. Lots of stuff build-depends on glib, so if there was something wrong then hundreds of packages would be broken. | 06:05 |
| wgrant | SeanInSeattle: Try the 'apache2' package. | 06:05 |

| Trupsalms1 | acegiak: could i pm me | 06:08 |
| Lint | SeanInSeattle, if it does, you should use nginx proxy or something, because version in repository is likely do have vulnerabilities | 06:08 |
| wgrant | Lint: Um, no. | 06:08 |
| wgrant | Lint: It's in main, so it will get updates very quickly after they are discovered. | 06:08 |

| zetheroo | Ok ... I am a tad confused now ... I thought that Ubuntu machines could communicate over a network without Samba and that Samba was only really needed if you wanted to mingle Windows machines with Ubuntu machines on the network .... | 06:16 |
| zilla1 | NoTownKasper -- what's giving you trouble? apt-get install system-config-samba samba smbfs | 06:16 |

| MeVsTheVoices | zetheroo: Ehhh.... they can if you set it up, sftp, samba, nfs, the only difference is that without third party software, the only filesharing a windows can do is smb | 06:17 |
| zilla1 | NoTownKasper, do you have a share setup? | 06:17 |
| Trupsalms1 | http://pastebin.com/m52d5e74 | 06:17 |
| zetheroo | MeVsTheVoices: ok ... well I have only Ubuntu machines ... I don't need smb ... right? | 06:18 |
| NoTownKasper | zilla1: That's my problem, I thought I did...I have several folders supposedly shared...but the samba config is asking for all sorts of things it never asked me for before. | 06:18 |
| DanaG | hmm, what else would you use for sharing? | 06:18 |
| Lint | zetheroo, you would like samba, because it's alternatives are much worse | 06:19 |
| zilla1 | "the samba config" the one from the system menu? | 06:19 |

| zetheroo | Lint: I have used Samba and I do like it ... but I was sure someone had told me before that its only really needed for Windows to Ubuntu shares and not Ubuntu to Ubuntu shares | 06:20 |
| MeVsTheVoices | zetheroo: You need either it or one of it's alternatives to share files, but no, you aren't limited to samba | 06:20 |
| DanaG | hmm, did that person say what you should use instead of samba? | 06:20 |
| zilla1 | ok, mine's not a clean install, its an upgrade from 9.04, no naturally things are going to be just off enough so that you can't follow where I've been | 06:21 |

| zetheroo | DanaG: you talking to me? :) | 06:21 |

| zetheroo | NoTownKasper: and still so much trouble? | 06:27 |
| user__ | sftp? you just need to install sshd | 06:27 |
| user__ | or ssh server | 06:27 |

| PRIDE | if no one here can help, could someone point me in the rite direction | 06:28 |
| zetheroo | wgrant: thank you | 06:28 |

| user__ | type samba, then enter | 06:29 |
| zilla1 | smbpasswd is setup, and running | 06:29 |
| MeVsTheVoices | !samba | 06:29 |
| ubottu | 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. | 06:29 |
| user__ | if the program run, samba v4 is installed | 06:29 |
| user__ | otherwise, smbd is v3 | 06:29 |
| zetheroo | NoTownKasper: so you just right-clicked on the folder to share and then Samba installs automatically ... right? | 06:29 |
| zilla1 | i've got a share set to use guest though | 06:29 |
| NoTownKasper | zetheroo: That's what I did in previous versions, when I tried it after this fresh install, I got errors about missing lock folders. | 06:29 |

| wgrant | zetheroo: For your situation it is more than likely fine. Don't worry about it. | 06:32 |
| zilla1 | why would I be able to see my windows network when i run findsmb, but not when I navigate to windows network in nautilus | 06:32 |
| zetheroo | wgrant: well, after reboot will the shares still be there? | 06:32 |
| NoTownKasper | zetheroo: No, a reinstall is like 4 hours, if we include all the 3rd party, non-repo software I'll need to install along with it. | 06:32 |
| maniel | i've deleted my ~/.kde and set it up again from scratch, and it's not able to restart/shutdown again | 06:32 |

| zilla1 | chetnick enlightenment? twm? | 06:34 |
| NoTownKasper | zetheroo: No offence to the Ubuntu devs, but I'm a lazy sort, if I have to reinstall, I'll reinstall to something I -know- works. :P | 06:34 |
| wgrant | Madpilot: sudo apt-get install lvm2 | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | Madpilot: sudo "lvm vgscan" "sudo vgchange -a y" | 06:35 |
| zetheroo | PRIDE: sorry ... webcams are so finicky ... I had a USB one that worked great in Jaunty and then after one kernel update stopped working .. then in Karmic its working again ... so it seems to be pretty hit-n-miss at times ... | 06:35 |
| chetnick | zilla1: what? | 06:35 |
| wgrant | Madpilot: You might need to 'sudo vgscan' and 'sudo vgchange -a y' after that; I forget about Hardy's behaviour. | 06:35 |
| chetnick | zilla1: its gnome and kde. | 06:35 |
| zetheroo | NoTownKasper: fair enough ... but look Ubuntu Tweak up ... its got a great tool for adding 3rd party repos ... very fast and simple | 06:35 |
| PRIDE | zetheroo, yeah but i heard that you could do something about it to get it to work | 06:36 |

| Jivedue | hi, I'm looking through some tutorials on reinstalling grub, and it says to use "sudo grub" from the ubuntu live cd. | 06:36 |
| PRIDE | whats the channel for the devs? ubuntu-dev? | 06:36 |
| Jivedue | But my live cd (ubuntu 9.10) only has a bunch of grub-<something> programs. | 06:36 |
| zetheroo | PRIDE: afaik its all pretty much built into Ubuntu Karmic .... before you would need to install extra stuff ... | 06:36 |
| Jivedue | Does anyone know which of the dozen or so I should use? | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | Jivedue: If you did a fresh install of 9.10 you are using grub2 | 06:37 |
| NoTownKasper | zetheroo: Odd, I tried again to add the shares via nautilus...or sudo-nautilus I should say...and got this error: "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running." | 06:37 |

| NoTownKasper | zetheroo: Ok, I'm seriously getting annoyed now. Complete removal, reinstall, try to create the share, now I get -this- error..."Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory)" | 06:59 |
| Jordan_U | q0_0p: Boots much faster, ext4 like you said. I'm not sure "generally" | 06:59 |
| q0_0p | i downgraded myself just to use backtrack 4 i dunno if that was a good idea | 07:00 |
| kinja-sheep | Jordan_U: I hate Dust theme in Karmic. Thick fonts on Apps/Places/Sys/etc -- Had to make a custom theme. :\ | 07:00 |
| q0_0p | anyone here use kde? | 07:00 |
| q0_0p | it's actually not that bad | 07:01 |
| q0_0p | of a look | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | kinja-sheep: The default human theme is pretty nice though | 07:01 |
| q0_0p | i got tired of the gnome look | 07:01 |
| Ciros | okay, so I just made my router log to rsyslog.d but instead o fht elog info going to just the .log I made for it, it is going there, and to messages, syslog, and user.log Does anyone know how to make it so that it will only goto te one I made? | 07:01 |
| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. Would someone be able to help me? I'm trying to setup my first postgresql db. I used createdb but all I get is an authentication error. :( | 07:01 |
| kinja-sheep | Jordan_U: That's true. I like it very much too. | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | q0_0p: Try gnome-shell, it's still far from ready ( and doesn't change the gtk theme ) but it looks great and has some nice new ideas about how to work with windows, workspaces, and applications | 07:02 |
| q0_0p | Jordan_U, hmm i'll give that a look | 07:03 |
| user__ | i prefer kde over gnome ever since, but sometimes i like gnome more if i tried it after a long time. | 07:03 |
| Jordan_U | q0_0p: Or of course try KDE4 or another desktop environment if you don't like the look of Gnome | 07:03 |
| q0_0p | i like kde 3.5 for some reason | 07:03 |
| q0_0p | i never liked kde4 | 07:03 |
| q0_0p | gnome-shell looks cool | 07:04 |

| sabat | how can I make a macro that clicks the mouse in x once every second | 07:39 |
| sabat | what app would you suggest I look into at least | 07:39 |
| secret901 | !lynx | 07:40 |
| ubottu | 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) | 07:40 |
| sabat | I'm using a spreadsheet program, with a specialized macro but it keeps asking for confirmations, I need to make a macro that clicks the mouse every 1 second or so. | 07:40 |
| sabat | just to keep it going | 07:40 |
| porter1 | sabat, you could try xmacro | 07:40 |
| sabat | porter1, ty, I'm going to look into that now | 07:40 |
| indus | secret901: so did you try again? | 07:40 |
| secret901 | indus: it's restarting...it's taking longer than I normally expecvt to load up | 07:41 |
| aperson | is there a way to configure my thumb buttons on my mouse so they *don't* go back and forward? | 07:41 |
| sabat | porter1, do you have any suggestions beyond that on making a macro that just sends a mouseclick every 1 second? | 07:41 |
| sabat | using that app or not | 07:41 |
| porter1 | sabat, not sure. I would also suggest maybe writing a python script to do whatever you want | 07:42 |
| sabat | basically, I want to hit a keycombination, then hit another or the same one to turn it off | 07:42 |
| porter1 | I used to do that in windows with python. | 07:42 |
| secret901 | indus: and it's getting some I/O error | 07:42 |
| indus | secret901: cd is bad then | 07:42 |
| indus | secret901: use another | 07:42 |
| indus | secret901: burn slower speed | 07:42 |
| sabat | I use a logitech g-15 keyboard, and I have a g-15 macro in windows that does the same thing | 07:42 |
| secret901 | indus: I used this CD to install Koala on another computer before | 07:42 |
| sabat | but I want to implement this in linux so I don't have to switch everytime I need it :D | 07:43 |
| indus | secret901: but i/o error is different from the login error | 07:43 |
| secret901 | indus: I/O error but it still loads the login screen | 07:43 |
| indus | secret901: hmm then reboot should do thetrick, username ubuntu , press enter and leave it | 07:43 |

| Ronald|Work | I found something about changed MAC adres being the cause when older ubuntu server versions are migrated to another Virtualbox VM -- how to fix :)? | 07:48 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: you can set the Guest OS MAC address on VM | 07:50 |
| SpiceMan | VirtualBox, I mean | 07:50 |
| Ronald|Work | SpiceMan, i dont know the original mac, as its 100 miles away | 07:50 |
| Ronald|Work | there hsould be a way to make it reconfigure all? | 07:50 |
| greezmunkey | Ronald|Work, a previous post referred to something called mac changer... | 07:51 |
| Ronald|Work | other then a fresh install ;) | 07:51 |
| Flannel | PRIDE: actually, it appears to remove the face brower thing, you just have to fiddle around in gconf, http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html?showComment=1255584122058#c3361549451992456071 I haven't verified this though, as I'm not on karmic. | 07:51 |
| SpiceMan | a fresh install won't change the MAC address of the virtual machine. only changing the virtual machine configuration will | 07:51 |
| Ronald|Work | Well | 07:51 |
| Ronald|Work | i don't KNOW the mac i installed this on | 07:52 |
| Ronald|Work | so changing it is not a solution | 07:52 |
| greezmunkey | agreed | 07:52 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: if you don't know what MAC address you need, you can fix it to that. it just really simple. | 07:52 |
| SpiceMan | *it's | 07:52 |
| Ronald|Work | how :D? | 07:52 |
| PRIDE | Flannel, any information helps, i'm fiddleing around on karmic...just not as proficient as any of yall....once i figure out how to do everything i want done i'm going to reformate my computer and apply what i have learned | 07:52 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: You don't know -> You can't | 07:53 |
| SpiceMan | *that* is simple | 07:53 |
| indus | secret901: hi | 07:53 |
| Ronald|Work | it is as simple as rediculous? what if I change a card on a physical machine? | 07:53 |
| SpiceMan | so make someone send you the XML or something | 07:53 |
| indus | secret901: so no luck? | 07:53 |
| secret901 | indus: still loading up | 07:53 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: the virtual machine is not aware of the host os | 07:54 |
| Ronald|Work | yeah | 07:54 |
| Ronald|Work | so why would the NIC change be an issue | 07:54 |
| Ronald|Work | i just dumped the harddisk on another virtual machine | 07:55 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: it's not, you just created a new VM and added the image, right? | 07:55 |
| Ronald|Work | what if i dumped a physical hardisk in another physical machine | 07:55 |
| Ronald|Work | no network? | 07:55 |
| q0_0p | anyone know y i can't iwlist wlan0 scan? | 07:55 |
| * SpiceMan gives up | 07:56 | |
| Ronald|Work | SpiceMan, exactly, so why would the new virtual nic be an issue? | 07:56 |
| q0_0p | i've modprobe -r b43; modprobe b43; ifconfig wlan0 up | 07:56 |
| Ronald|Work | "it just doesn't" is worse then windows | 07:56 |
| SpiceMan | Ronald|Work: I don't know. you said the mac was the issue, I pointed out that the MAC would be different on a different VM (unless you explicitly set it, which you didn't) | 07:57 |
| Ronald|Work | SpiceMan, no thats what i found googling, back to dapper | 07:57 |
| greezmunkey | Spiceman, Ronald|Work, for giggles, what resources do you think would be necessary to run server 2003 enterprise in a VM on top of ubuntu? (just asking) | 07:58 |

| Jordan_U | Ronald|Work: And there is no way that the only solution is to keep the same mac address, if the mac address even has anything to do with it | 08:02 |
| Ronald|Work | Jordan_U, but you gave me the idea.... silyl device is eth2.... that explains why the mac solution works... | 08:02 |
| greezmunkey | Ronald|Work, agreed. Maybe all I do is run VMware! | 08:02 |
| greezmunkey | Ronald|Work, It would be a good learning experience anyway... | 08:03 |
| Ronald|Work | greezmunkey, i mostly use virtualbox, seems to perform better then vmware desktop products... however the biggest issue is when you saturate IO and high memory usage | 08:03 |
| greezmunkey | Ronald|Work, virtualbox...I'll check it out, thanks! | 08:04 |

| James__ | how do you use sudo? | 08:08 |
| lstarnes | !sudo | James__ | 08:09 |
| ubottu | James__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 08:09 |

| smwn | sudo apt get peanuts | 08:09 |
| James__ | ah, got it | 08:09 |
| James__ | for some reason i thought i needed to get into sudo, before doing the action | 08:09 |
| James__ | thank you :) | 08:09 |
| greezmunkey | sudo -i will accomplish that | 08:10 |
| mka | James__: no | 08:10 |

| joshuajones | i am trying to share my existing ethernet connection through the same internal atheros wifi card | 08:14 |
| joshuajones | i have followed the ubuntugeek guide | 08:14 |
| joshuajones | to enable using terminal commands instead of just getting firestarter, as i never had much luck using firestarter in the karmic beta attempting the same thing | 08:15 |
| joshuajones | anyhow, finished all those steps and had stumbled across this guide http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html to set up the adhoc | 08:15 |
| Mosta | hii | 08:16 |

| wjlafrance | Or just the files would still be amazing. | 08:17 |
| qubuntu | i was woundering why i cant change the statrup sound (drums) in ubuntu 9.1 | 08:17 |

| joshuajones | ? | 08:18 |
| Jordan_U | wjlafrance: You can try testdisk | 08:18 |
| wjlafrance | smwn: Does that run on Linux? | 08:18 |
| smwn | not sure | 08:18 |
| wjlafrance | Jordan_U: I checked that out but it only detected the ext4 from what I found. Any guides? | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | joshuajones: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ | 08:19 |
| smwn | I know it runs in dos | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | wjlafrance: Did you try the deep search? | 08:19 |
| smwn | so you could make a boot cd to run it | 08:19 |
| Jordan_U | joshuajones: Netbook remix uses network manager by default | 08:20 |
| wjlafrance | Jordan_U: I'll try | 08:20 |
| wjlafrance | smwn: I've only got one CD drive in this box, and I'm running on a live CD, so I can't burn atm. :( | 08:20 |

| MenZa | a-rishi: Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit? | 08:21 |
| a-rishi | 32-bit | 08:21 |
| gnubie | a-rishi; 64 bit? | 08:21 |
| DigitalKiwi | wjlafrance: except for the softwares that are on oftc ;p | 08:22 |
| MenZa | a-rishi: Applications → Ubuntu Software Centre - search for 'Flash' :) | 08:22 |
| a-rishi | I am on 32-bit | 08:22 |
| a-rishi | okay. Thanks. | 08:22 |
| joshuajones | a-rishi : that or click on "install missing plugins" button when you try to access a page that uses flash | 08:22 |
| wjlafrance | Apparently there's a firefox plugin to make youtube just use HTML5 tags with an MP4 stream. :) | 08:22 |
| a-rishi | wjlafrance: That will be great | 08:23 |
| DigitalKiwi | wjlafrance: :o | 08:23 |
| wjlafrance | Not to mention 1000% easier to download. :P | 08:23 |

| a-rishi | Alright, another thing: I am using empathy for IRC, how can I disable the '[some-user] has connecteced' or '[some-user]' has disconnected. There are too many of them coming :P | 08:25 |

| Madpilot | this is from a LiveCD session, fwiw | 08:26 |
| Jordan_U | a-rishi: I am sure there is a way to disable it, but for other reasons IRC just doesn't work well with anything but a dedication IRC client | 08:26 |
| klong | Madpilot, like.. with the command chroot ? | 08:26 |
| DigitalKiwi | irssi ftw | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | a-rishi: Try xchat if you use IRC a lot, or for more feature rich clients try quassel or irssi | 08:27 |
| joshuajones | HELLO? | 08:27 |
| joshuajones | :( | 08:27 |
| klong | xchat ftw | 08:27 |
| a-rishi | Jordan_U: Ya, I will try those too | 08:27 |
| dczammit | Madpilot: i had to change my root partition from the livecd to an existing install and fix the grub bootloader, theres a few tricks you need in the command line | 08:27 |
| a-rishi | I like the themes on empathy :( | 08:27 |
| DigitalKiwi | xchat uses gui and is thus fail since you can't run it in screen ! | 08:28 |
| joshuajones | Networkmanager bug closing itself out after clicking on create network in 9.10 final release FTW? | 08:28 |
| a-rishi | MenZa: Thanks, youtube is working flawlessly | 08:28 |

| joshuajones | ;) | 08:43 |
| wjlafrance | greezmunkey: there's a zombie in that box. i dont like it. | 08:43 |
| |ntegra| | I'm not too sure how to use my vfat partition | 08:44 |
| greezmunkey | wjlafrance, I saw that...I can't remember exactly how to run that down... | 08:44 |
| joshuajones | okay well i'm not getting any answers myself so i guess i'm off to google everyone | 08:44 |
| knoxville | What command should I use in terminal to find my subnet mask etc. ? | 08:44 |
| mwallner | hey@all | 08:44 |
| |ntegra| | hey mwallner | 08:44 |
| joshuajones | i have enjoyed the prosperous conversationalisms and good morale of my fellow unix supporters this day | 08:44 |
| joshuajones | :] | 08:45 |
| mwallner | @knoxville use "ifconfig" | 08:45 |

| mwallner | @knoxville : find out subnet mask etc: "ifconfig <yourinterface>" | 08:46 |
| alex87 | hey guys, does anyone know how to check if compositing is on? | 08:47 |
| mwallner | easy way to check: | 08:48 |
| mwallner | go system-appereance | 08:48 |
| mwallner | sorry | 08:48 |
| mwallner | system-preferences-appereance-visual effects | 08:48 |
| mwallner | select "none" to disable compositioning / others will use comp. | 08:48 |
| jacquesdupontd | dczammit, that's what i did before, the problem as i told you and you should be enought intelligent to understand it, it's not the same to boot on a 750 mb compressed file than a 2 giga installed ubuntu, they are both working on all computers and i install grub on the usb pen drive so i can directly mount iso from the grub 2 now and have the live cd to install the ubuntu if i want it, like i have my xubuntu personnal (better | 08:48 |
| jacquesdupontd | than usb live key persistent booting really faster) and i have many entries of all iso i putted in a directorie in my grub | 08:48 |
| alex87 | mwallner, so if the effects aren't on then compositing isn't either? | 08:48 |
| knoxville | mwallner: is there any command to show dns servers in terminal? instead of opening resolv.conf | 08:48 |
| mwallner | @alex87: right | 08:49 |
| alex87 | mwallner, ah ok, thanks | 08:49 |
| mwallner | @knoxville .. sorry -> don't know.. I use "cat /etc/resolv.conf" | 08:49 |
| guntbert | !attitude | jacquesdupontd | 08:49 |
| ubottu | jacquesdupontd: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 08:49 |
| mwallner | and got an alias for it | 08:49 |
| jacquesdupontd | dczammit, means i can put xubuntu + entrie of xubuntu live cd.iso + entrie of knopix (example), + entrie of windows seven + entrie of even mac os x snow leopard | 08:49 |
| jacquesdupontd | guntbert, i sorry myself but i don't see about what ? | 08:50 |
| knoxville | mwallner: Okay, just my teacher wants me to find out!.. :) But I dont think there is! :) | 08:50 |
| mwallner | o.k.. | 08:50 |
| mwallner | @knoxville.. try this: | 08:50 |
| guntbert | jacquesdupontd: "the problem as i told you and you should be enought intelligent to understand.." isn't really friendly, is it? | 08:50 |
| mwallner | @knoxville create a file in /usr/bin (touch /usr/bin/tell-dns") echo some dns-lookup command in it (echo "cat /etc/resolv.conf" > /usr/bin/tell-dns) .. make it executable (chmod o+x /usr/bin/tell-dns) .. you'll be fine :D | 08:51 |
| jacquesdupontd | guntbert, i'm volunteers that doesn't mean i wanna broke peoples computer cause i wanna help them on subject i don't know at all and look at their sentences it was more like, haha you newbie you think it's faster on a usb pendrive ? as i asked nothing and never tell it was, i don't call that help but more reproach | 08:51 |
| wjlafrance | jacquesdupontd is an amazing man. He can insult the intelligence of others while putted things in directorie. | 08:51 |
| knoxville | mwallner: Haha, i'll try that! : | 08:51 |
| guntbert | jacquesdupontd: ok, maybe I misunderstood... - sorry then | 08:52 |

| mwallner | oh.. right | 08:54 |
| knoxville | mwallner: Do you know how to empty your DNS cache then? | 08:54 |
| mwallner | chown is better for this | 08:54 |
| wjlafrance | guntbert: I'm working on repairing my HD. I came here to ask a question a while back. | 08:55 |
| jacquesdupontd | come on guys i didn't want to insult anybody, just don't play you're geek when you don't know anything about a subject or on the guy you're helping he could be the guy who invented ubuntu, that makes me just laught under my computer. It's like i would be telling you i have a problem of wifi and that you ask me if my computer is plugged to electricity, sorry but hrm it looks like stupid for me but nevermind | 08:55 |
| mwallner | knxoville: /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart | 08:55 |

However despite what I have set in System>Preferneces>Mouse it won't switch the buttons. Is there a way with the command line to set the mouse? Any help? Thanks | 08:57 |

| aperson | is there a way to configure my thumb buttons on my mouse so they *don't* go back and forward? | 08:58 |
| mwallner | knoxville: try sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart | 08:58 |
| greezmunkey | wjlafrance, I probably Z'd it by abruptly disconnecting the Ethernet connection once I got the wireless driver installed on the 2nd laptop. | 08:58 |
| mwallner | knoxville: it could be that this doesn't work if you have got "upstart" running .. (ubuntu 9.10) .. | 08:59 |
| |ntegra| | hmm | 08:59 |
| mwallner | knoxville: the /etc/init.d scripts have been ported to upstart .. most of them | 08:59 |
| greezmunkey | heh, you can't kill the dead! | 08:59 |
| mwallner | knoxville: ok.. this should work.. install nscd daemon :D .. just found out it isn't installed by default | 09:00 |
| mwallner | knoxville: use this: sudo apt-get install nscd | 09:00 |
| mwallner | knoxville: then you can restart it.. flushes dns-cache | 09:00 |
| knoxville | mwallner: roger over! :) | 09:00 |
| knoxville | mwallner: I would like a "flush dns" command like in win.. | 09:01 |
| mwallner | knoxville: :D 1 sec. | 09:01 |
| mwallner | knoxville.. should be even easier: /etc/init.d/dns-clean start | 09:01 |
| mwallner | knoxville: i've never used that before.. but it should work ;) | 09:01 |
| mwallner | knoxville: ... /etc/init.d/dns-clean start comes pre-set-up on any ubuntu machine as far as i've seen in the man-pages | 09:01 |
| knoxville | mwallner: How could I check if it worked? :) | 09:01 |
| mwallner | knoxville: try ping google | 09:02 |
| mwallner | should take longer for the first result | 09:02 |
| otoady | What is a direct probe to AP in a dmesg message ? It's timing out. What told it to direct probe ? | 09:02 |
| mwallner | knoxville: because it has to lookup the dns first | 09:02 |
| greezmunkey | OMG I have finally gone and done it. Tweaking *nix with Star Trek on TV. Gone Geek... | 09:03 |
| jacquesdupontd | roflparrot, thank you very much, that's very simple and i'm gonna make it with help or not it's just that i had to pass by many many ways to make what i want i need that live cd of lubuntu to work, i was asking if anybody as a direct link to the new lubuntu and to have it in direct link if it's possible, then my project is called "all in one os" you'll have the more light really installed with it's grub on the usb pen drive a | 09:03 |
| jacquesdupontd | nd then you can put as many .iso as you have place on your usb pen as i know how to make grub launch an .iso (mount it) directly from the boot like if the dvd/cd would be one th usbpen | 09:03 |
| knoxville | mwallner: same time all the times! :) | 09:03 |
| AdvoWork | how can i find out what -mtime +1 is on my system? tried echo -mtime + 1 but nothing | 09:03 |
| mwallner | knoxville: hm .. bad .. but I don't really know how to check if the dns cache is empty.. was just an idea.. sorry.. | 09:04 |
| tasf | anyone around? | 09:04 |
| knoxville | mwallner: It says it flushed actuelly, but the ping time is the same for 1 hit and fifth hit.. | 09:05 |
| mwallner | hm .. probably it does the lookup before it shows the time for the first hit .. | 09:05 |

| greezmunkey | mwallner, what about running a tcpdump to confirm that? | 09:06 |
| mwallner | knoxville: all cache files go in /var/cache/*** .. probably the dns cache is anywhere there | 09:06 |

| x-Na | Valentina, I use nautilus. Or just plain ftp from commandline... | 09:45 |
| andrew_46 | Valentina: Easiest to use would be gftp | 09:45 |
| knoppies | imagitron2, Ive had problems with PCs and sleeping often (in windows though) so I refrain from sleeping the PC. But Im not entirely sure what causes it. You can have a look in the bios. I know there are settings there that you can play with, but Im not sure they are the cause you are looking for. | 09:45 |
| sleepy_cat | hi i got a file .fv i tried to make it work with VLC, and other players but it did not work.. later on when i tried the same file on windows it worked.. what could be the issue on linux | 09:46 |

| andrew_46 | sleepy_cat: Can you identify the contents of the flv with 'ffmpeg -i myfile.flv'? | 09:47 |
| knoppies | imagitron2, you can see if there is anything interesting in the bios settings (you might want to remember what they were before you changed them). Sorry I can't help you any further. | 09:47 |

| om26er | k_: in ubuntu netbook remix it maximizes all applications except some to fit netbbok screen. | 09:55 |
| Valentina | x-Na: I know it has nothing to do with Windows, I meant that it's the ordinary file GUI in Ubuntu and it's there isn't a cli version of it. I think not, but I didn't know it was a part of Gnome. | 09:55 |

| andrew_46 | sleepy_cat: Which version of Ubuntu are you using? And where did the FFmpeg come from? | 09:56 |

| DarwinSurvivor | I just upgraded my mother's eee (1000HE) to karmic, and now the fonts are messed up after resuming from suspend | 10:29 |
| iceroot | i am using rsync to backup some files (with hardlinks). rsync is only creating hardlinks for directorys but not for files. is that normal? | 10:30 |
| erUSUL | Valentina: well that i really dunno. if you run from a cron job maybe the tar sees the encrypted files (becouse is not you who is running it) but i dunno | 10:30 |
| Tatzelbrumm | iceroot: just to get the Turing tests straight ... so you're an actual human who delegated the answer to the bot ubottu, right? | 10:30 |

| Valentina | erUSUL: I have heard that the files are mapped from encrypted to be seen decrypted after logging in, BUT that the files also are stored as encrypted. Then if I copy the encrypted (not decrypted) files from wherever they are stored then the encryption will stay on even in a tarball? | 10:33 |
| andrew_46 | sleepy_cat: If you were keen I run an MPlayer guide for Hardy Heron which should play most files | 10:33 |

| mka | Valentina: what do you mean? the tarball itself can be damaged and you cannot extract files inside it in some case cases | 10:41 |
| Tatzelbrumm | chtoopid question about filing a bug ... how do I find out what package to associate the bug with? touchpad buttons not swapping is probably caused by two programs from the multitude of applications between the GUI and the actual configuration file not understanding each other ... | 10:41 |
| yareckon | only been heree 10 mins and no one has been able to suggest a recovery strategy | 10:41 |
| mka | Valentina: I dont think it is possible to DAMAGE files by using tar | 10:41 |
| erUSUL | Valentina: if the file is not corrupted. ther is no risk. What i fear is that the encrypted home solution may layout encrypted files in non standar way or something | 10:41 |

| erUSUL | Cyberkilla: none is forcing to use empathy. pidgin is on aptitude install away | 11:10 |
| mwallner | pidgin is good.. but there's one stupid thing about it.. | 11:10 |
| mwallner | -> saving passwords as plain text | 11:10 |
| Cyberkilla | And telepathy-butterfly keeps crashing when I resume from hibernate | 11:10 |
| mataks | !sound | 11:10 |
| mwallner | I mean.. srysly.. wtf? | 11:10 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 11:10 |

| Jimi_Neutral | hey guys, im trying to install 8.10 on this laptop. It has XP on it already. It is an old laptop so I ran chkdsk on it and it reported no errors but when I try to install Ubuntu it comes up with an I/O error, dev 0, sector xxxxx | 11:11 |
| mwallner | right on this.. but pidgin just stupidly stores passwords as plain text.. I rather use empathy with gnome-keyring that crashes after resume ^^ | 11:11 |
| Jimi_Neutral | any idea? | 11:11 |
| Cyberkilla | I've had to go back to Pidgin. Empathy does feel a bit more organised, but perhaps that is because it is missing a ton of features. For instance, you can't even do /topic or /nick in XMPP | 11:11 |
| Billiard | Jimi_Neutral: when exactly do you get this error | 11:11 |

| Cyberkilla | A couple of years ago, I really thought Jabber was going to replace IRC.

| erUSUL | criss: you can not skip versions so you will have to do 6.06.1 LTS --> 8.04 LTS --> 8.10 --> 9.04 --> 9.10 or do a clean install | 12:02 |

If you use the repository version, you don't have to worry about updates since update-manager takes care of that. But if you insist on keeping this version just create a symlink to that .so from the plugins/ folder in the directory of the new firefox | 12:44 |

| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnotwork | 12:45 |
| jcrawford | iceroot yea well it won't boot at all lol | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | I just right click on a driectory and use the shareing feature :) it worked here.. and suprised me that it did work | 12:45 |
| tigertiger | hi | 12:45 |
| mwallner | Younder: I like chromium.. it's really fast! | 12:45 |

| iceroot | jcrawford: post details, errors and so on. how should anyone help you? | 12:45 |
| jcrawford | i can get it to be seen by rEFIt when I have OS X installed and try a dual boot but when Grub loads it does so to a flasing _ cursor | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | or i get the grub prompt | 12:46 |
| mwallner | Youder: but there's just this daily repo.. but I guess it's really stable.. is has never crashed up to now ^^ | 12:46 |
| jcrawford | but never have i gotten Ubuntu to load unless I installed under VM | 12:46 |
| eddym | dr_willis: did the unp now how do i use it | 12:46 |
| Valentina | MenZa: Yeah, thank you, I had to do some things. Ok, I'll look into the links you provided here. | 12:46 |

| eddym | dr_willis: tar comes compressed do i extract it and where | 12:47 |
| theadmin | jrib: Mine's 3.5.5... please give the appropriate command :D i can't figure out. | 12:47 |

| SetiAmon | Hey is there any way to imrpove audio,something like a filter to make things sound crisper and such? | 12:47 |
| jrib | theadmin: hmm? What did that last command return? | 12:47 |
| SetiAmon | is there anyway to tell which version of alsa i have? | 12:47 |
| Younder | mwallner, No you can't hardy crash it as support software run's in a sepperate process | 12:47 |
| epinky | jarod51: this could help http://www.bauer-power.net/2009/05/getting-adobe-air-to-work-in-ubuntu-904.html | 12:48 |
| theadmin | jrib: I typed this in: "readlink -f $3.5.5", i assume i did something wrong though | 12:48 |
| mwallner | Youder: but that's nice =) | 12:48 |
| LjL | SetiAmon, uh, any filter that gives the impression of a "crisper" sound or such will, by definition, be altering the audio, and therefore make it *worse* for any good input | 12:48 |
| jrib | theadmin: don't change anything: readlink -f $(which firefox) | 12:48 |
| theadmin | ...why the HELL is it in /opt!?!!?! | 12:48 |
| jrib | theadmin: /opt and /usr/local/ are the right places to install things outside of the repositories | 12:49 |
| aguitel | how Customized grub2? | 12:49 |
| tigertiger | how can play the mp3 file on ubuntu ??? | 12:49 |
| theadmin | jrib: Oh. Okay. | 12:49 |
| jcrawford | i will probably just install Ubuntu on this work computer today but I hope that it is compatable with the hardware heh otherwise i just waste time | 12:49 |
| theadmin | tigertiger: Go to a terminal, run this "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 12:49 |
| London90 | tigertiger: you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get the mp3 codec | 12:49 |
| Failrar | mosta, samba is wins | 12:50 |

| jrib | tenebrae: that's the *only* kind we allow :) | 12:51 |
| iceroot | !ask | tenebrae | 12:51 |
| ubottu | tenebrae: 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. :-) | 12:51 |
| SetiAmon | i tried installing restricted extra's,codec's etc but that just screws up the audio and then i have to purge | 12:51 |
| tigertiger | theadmin : how i go to a terminal .. I am a newer | 12:51 |
| brad__ | i can't connect with telnet? To my box or anything else | 12:51 |
| napster | tenebrae: Just ask | 12:52 |
| jrib | brad__: what? | 12:52 |
| iceroot | brad__: use ssh | 12:52 |
| iceroot | !ssh | brad__ | 12:52 |
| ubottu | brad__: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 12:52 |
| London90 | SetiAmon: then it's probably a problem with your audio setup. Can you play a file which ubuntu has built in support for eg. ogg? | 12:52 |
| tenebrae | Cool, simply put - other than the PPPOECONF terminal fix, is there any other way in GUI which you can save and not have to do every time to make DSL work on 9.10? | 12:52 |

| Mcnuggz | Pici: i still get the same error with gksudo | 12:54 |
| London90 | SetiAmon: do you use a soundcard (which?) or built in ? | 12:54 |
| SetiAmon | it doesn't matter,the soudn is fine i guess,its just a annoying static type sound but 1000x better then it was in karmic | 12:54 |

| Gadget3000 | w1redo: which broswer are you using? | 13:10 |
| Lint | London90, show me NTFS filesystem which have 400kb file fragmented in 9 pieces | 13:10 |
| === kb is now known as Guest66975 | ||
| friendishan | epinky : it closes as soon as i view it. | 13:10 |
| w1redo | firefox | 13:10 |
| sp4z | london90, ok, is there another way to connect to c$ for example from a linux machine? | 13:10 |
| friendishan | epinky : it work well if minimized and we can hear the sound, | 13:10 |
| Gadget3000 | in terminal, try| | 13:10 |
| BluesKaj | Lint, after 30 or so boots , linux does an auto disk check anyway | 13:10 |
| tigertiger | system tell me that there is no ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:10 |
| miked595 | Lint, sipior, iceroot: doesn't ubuntu automatically run an fsck after 30 reboots? | 13:10 |
| friendishan | epinky : this time it hanged up. | 13:10 |
| tigertiger | packages | 13:11 |
| London90 | Lint: I was speaking generally. You may, of course, be having a specific issue that is an exception to the rule. | 13:11 |
| Gadget3000 | w1redo: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 13:11 |
| indus | London90: install the gstreamer ffmpeg file | 13:11 |
| Lint | BluesKaj, how disk checkis gonna help with fragmentation? | 13:11 |
| syn-ack | BluesKaj, It's been upped to about 67 boots now. | 13:11 |
| sipior | miked595: fsck does nothing to alleviate fiel fragmentation | 13:11 |
| London90 | indus: what for? | 13:11 |
| indus | oops bad timing | 13:11 |
| w1redo | thanks | 13:11 |
| indus | London90: you were looking for some codecs? | 13:11 |
| kane77 | are the fixes that were done as part of "100 paper cuts" project integrated into karmic? | 13:11 |
| miked595 | sipior: well if it doesn't fragment ;) | 13:11 |
| goldie | anyone ever had the text-based ubuntu installer show mangled text? If yes, how the * did you fix it ? :) | 13:11 |
| London90 | indus: I wasn't but thanks anyway :p | 13:11 |
| indus | what is 100 paper cuts | 13:11 |
| syn-ack | kane77, where it could be... | 13:11 |
| indus | London90: :P | 13:12 |
| * sipior sighs | 13:12 | |
| BluesKaj | Lint, it realigns the data blocks there is any fragemnentation | 13:12 |
| London90 | sp4z: you could install ssh, or setup an ftp server or something like that | 13:12 |
| Madpilot | kane77, most of them, I think | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | if | 13:12 |
| Valentina | London90: Ok, thanks, I'll try to connect it and reboot. | 13:12 |
| * indus asks why the *sigh* | 13:12 | |
| Younder | sp4z, I use Mono and ModoDevelop as a iDE. Is that what you mean? (It tends to hang a version behind .NET) | 13:12 |
| dashavoo | I am struggling to connect to my wpa2 network from my desktop computer (just upgraded to Karmic), however it works fine from my karmic laptop (which has been running karmic since alpha3), does anybody have any suggestions as to what is wrong? | 13:12 |
| kane77 | Madpilot, cool I really like that someone is fixing the little annoying things | 13:12 |
| Lint | BluesKaj, so how can I force fsck? | 13:12 |
| syn-ack | Lint, man mount man fsck | 13:12 |
| epinky | tigertiger: could you post results? | 13:13 |
| legend2440 | tigertiger: open system>administration>synaptic and look for ubuntu-restricted-extras in there | 13:13 |
| Younder | syn-ack, lint went out with ANSI C, grow up | 13:13 |
| Tatzelbrumm | dashavoo: GNOME or KDE? | 13:13 |
| kane77 | indus, it is project to erradicate 100 most annoying things (usability problems) in ubuntu | 13:13 |
| dashavoo | Tatzelbrumm: Gnome | 13:13 |
| gcola | I'm looking for a different behavior for alt-tab and/or windowskey-tab. A simple list that not only lets me cycle through, but that I can click on a specific window with the mouse instead of cycling all the way around. | 13:13 |
| epinky | tigertiger: yep, use synaptic, it's better | 13:13 |
| w1redo | gadget3000 ive just tryed that and its sayin same thing to me it cant find the archive | 13:13 |
| syn-ack | Younder, was that supposed to be a joke? | 13:13 |
| indus | kane77: aah ok cool, i couldnt understand what it meant,i thought all silly issues which would never be fixed | 13:13 |
| Tatzelbrumm | dashavoo: in that case, my laptop doesn't reproduce your error. It had difficulties under KDE but not GNOME. | 13:13 |
| sp4z | london90, younder, well from windoze pc to win pc you would just type in the run box i.e \\10.1.1.9\c$ and then enter user and pass, is that functionality in ubuntu anywhere? | 13:14 |
| Younder | syn-ack, yes | 13:14 |
| Lint | syn-ack, fsck warns about corruption if run on mounted filesystem | 13:14 |
| tigertiger | thank you all the guys | 13:14 |
| eise | London90: The solution would be: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, but i can't seem to install version 5 | 13:14 |
| ectospasm | gcola: that's called the task list on the panel | 13:14 |
| syn-ack | Younder, Sorry, completly lost on me. :( | 13:14 |
| jrib | gcola: does the Scale plugin in compiz work for you? | 13:14 |
| ascheel | Anybody know of a way to limit which logins are listed in the gdm login screen? | 13:14 |
| dashavoo | Tatzelbrumm: my laptop is also fine, which is what is really confusing me. | 13:14 |
| syn-ack | Lint, which is why I told you to man mount as well | 13:14 |
| miked595 | Lint: you can't be on the filesystem and fsck at the same time | 13:14 |
| London90 | sp4z: yes, you just click on network in nautilus and navigate to your share | 13:14 |
| Younder | sp4z: yes | 13:14 |
| eise | Alsow it doesn't show up in Syn | 13:14 |
| BluesKaj | Lint, you can cause severe damage if force fsck , the dev must be unmounted afaik | 13:15 |
| indus | fsck -r is a good option | 13:15 |
| indus | fsck -r -v | 13:15 |
| Younder | sp4z, I still use PyLint.. | 13:15 |
| miked595 | you can boot with the live cd and fsck the partition that way | 13:15 |
| syn-ack | Lint, you also can man shutdown | 13:15 |
| sp4z | london90, younder, cheers | 13:15 |
| London90 | eise: Then I don't know what to suggest, sorry. It might be worth looking for the support that goes with the game. | 13:15 |
| eise | support file: find londen90 in #Ubuntu :P | 13:15 |
| ttestt | hello. can anyone tell me, how to change default WM from gnome to icewm, in remastered boot cd? please. | 13:16 |
| ascheel | if you want to fsck the drive, just do this prior to a reboot: sudo touch /forcefsck | 13:16 |
| Lint | syn-ack, my shutdown has no filesystem check option | 13:16 |
| syn-ack | Lint, look at what ascheel and indus just told you... | 13:16 |
| jet | how can i find my ip off pc in ubuntu 9 | 13:16 |
| London90 | eise: teehee | 13:16 |
| miked595 | nice shutdown -F | 13:16 |
| angelus | gcola y Ctrl+shift+up, that might be what you are looking for (and then go and change the key binding at System»Preferences»Keyboard Shortcuts »» Initiate window Picker) | 13:16 |
| Tatzelbrumm | dashavoo: not really confusing ... I suspect that these errors are caused by communication difficulties between one of the excessively many abstraction layers ... it just doesn't support your particular wireless hardware. but that's just my uneducated guess. | 13:17 |
| London90 | jet: click on the network icon in the top right corner and then connection info | 13:17 |
| Younder | jet? | 13:17 |
| miked595 | love man pages | 13:17 |
| jet | i need to know the ip of my sever for vnc | 13:17 |
| Sky3RN | ifconfig | 13:17 |
| Sky3RN | In a terminal. | 13:17 |
| miked595 | external ip? | 13:17 |
| Younder | jet: are you using a web provider? | 13:18 |
| syn-ack | miked595, yeah, they're really handy when you actually read them... unlike some people. | 13:18 |
| jet | i m8 | 13:18 |
| London90 | syn-ack miked595: amen, rtfm | 13:18 |
| miked595 | jet: if you are behind a router using NAT then using an external site to get your public IP might be easist: http://www.xpertdns.com/myip.php | 13:18 |
| dumnut | hi, i am partitionaing ubuntu, is boot partition ext3? | 13:19 |
| syn-ack | dumnut, it can be... | 13:19 |
| Gadget3000 | dumnut: which version of ubuntu | 13:19 |
| kane77 | is it possible somehow to tell dhcp that I want certain IP address? I know it is possible to configure some routers to give certain IP address for certain MAC addres, however it is not possible on mine | 13:19 |
| London90 | mcnuggz: what are you trying to do with nautilus that requires root? | 13:19 |
| dumnut | hi syn-ack hi Gadget3000, 9.04 | 13:19 |
| Gadget3000 | dumnut: I would still reccommend gparted for linux partitions though | 13:19 |
| ascheel | kane77: you must reserve DHCP IP addresses on the server dishing them out | 13:19 |
| Gadget3000 | dumnut: probably ext3 then | 13:19 |
| Younder | jet. if so ifcongig (an command line program) will do it. | 13:19 |
| jagjr | are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? | 13:20 |
| London90 | kane77: or you could change the ip settings on the client to static. Though if that address is already taken you could have problems | 13:20 |
| tigertiger | This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. | 13:20 |
| tigertiger | why? | 13:20 |
| tigertiger | Unable to get exclusive lock | 13:21 |
| friendishan | epinky : u der? | 13:21 |
| jagjr | are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? | 13:21 |
| miked595 | syn-ack: London90: No manual entry for hibernate :( | 13:21 |
| tigertiger | when i want to open synaptic | 13:21 |
| tigertiger | there is an error : Unable to get exclusive lock | 13:21 |
| tigertiger | why?? | 13:21 |
| Younder | tigertiger, you are root , but not system root | 13:21 |
| gcola | angelus: Ctrl+shift+up does nothing for me. I can manage to change the keybindings. I'm just trying to find the right window picker to bind to. | 13:21 |
| jet | is there any good programs i can use to copy files from my pc to my linux server ? | 13:22 |
| Lint | whoever said that fsck 'realigns data blocks' and combat fragmentation this way is damned liar | 13:22 |
| tigertiger | i am in the gui interface ,how do i deal with ?? | 13:22 |
| miked595 | jet: i like to use scp | 13:22 |
| gcola | I've recently installed 9.10 w/Gnome. Previously I was running 8.04 and KDE. I liked the default window picker for KDE better. | 13:22 |
| tigertiger | os is ubuntu GUI | 13:22 |
| sipior | Lint: yep. | 13:22 |
| London90 | jet: you could user teracopy on your windows machine to copy them over. Or just use the inbuilt system copier | 13:22 |
| jagjr | are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | Lint, http://blogs.pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/tux-love/2009/11/hidden_linux_what_the_fsck.html | 13:23 |
| dashavoo | Actually, it seems my computer won't authenticate to any wireless network, not just a WPA2 one. It does see all the networks I expect it to, just won't connect. | 13:23 |
| Gadget3000 | gcola: use kubuntu instead. it has DKE built in so is more stable than putting it into ubuntu | 13:23 |
| London90 | tigertiger: you might have a program using apt running or crashed. You could try restarting the computer. If that doesn't fix it then i'd go with Youder's suggestion | 13:23 |
| tigertiger | I am root ,, but not system root ....how can do now ? | 13:23 |
| fasta | How do I enable hiberation on Ubuntu in karmic if it has already been installed? | 13:24 |
| angelus | gcola huh .... well its the "Initiate windows Picker" on Keyboard shortcuts menu..... change keybinding to something viable and check it out .... | 13:24 |
| Gadget3000 | gcola: *KDE | 13:24 |
| London90 | dashavoo: are you sure you're wireless adapter supports wpa2 | 13:24 |
| gcola | Gadget3000: Thanks, but not sure I want to switch to KDE just for the window picker, but I'll think, about it. | 13:24 |
| tigertiger | i restart my computer just now | 13:24 |
| jagjr | are there any good macro recorders for ubuntu? | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jagjr: ive seen some in the repos for some tasks. | 13:24 |
| miked595 | fasta: you can click you user in the upper right hand corner to and select hibernate to test it out. I'm having the problem of it actually working | 13:25 |
| sipior | BluesKaj: fsck fixes filesystem errors. fragmentation is not an error, per se, but a result of the block allocation algorithm. it simply won't fix filesystem fragmentation. | 13:25 |
| syn-ack | fasta, Hibernation is installed by default. All should need to do is click on hibernate in your shutdown menu | 13:25 |
| jagjr | Dr_willies : i need some that click in more than one place | 13:25 |
| fasta | syn-ack, it doesn't work if your swap is not large enough. | 13:25 |
| jagjr | Dr_willis : i need some that click in more than one place | 13:25 |
| Younder | tigertiger, type from the command line 'sudo passwd root' | 13:25 |
| Gadget3000 | fasta: It should be enabled by default but you may need to change some bios settings to get it to work properly | 13:25 |
| kane77 | London90, do you know of any utility that would for instance translate the MAC address to actual IP of that computer? | 13:25 |
| fasta | syn-ack, see the release notes. That's what I meant by "enable". | 13:25 |
| friendishan | . | 13:25 |
| dumnut | i chose partition ex3, but it says no root system chosen? | 13:25 |
| fasta | Gadget3000, BIOS is irrelevant in my case. | 13:25 |
| miked595 | fasta: sipior: my swap is 4gb and it still doesn't work | 13:25 |
| syn-ack | fasta, you need to be a bit more clear then | 13:25 |
| Younder | tigertiger, enter accont password and figure out a system password | 13:26 |
| batang_g | I have aproblem with Ubuntu 9.10-Desktop i386. When im installing packages like g++ and hardware drivers, it always says "Please insert cd Ubuntu 9.10.." or something like that. But when i insert the installation cd, it says the same thing. Can someone make this work? | 13:26 |
| dashavoo | London90: yes, I was using it on jaunty since July up until this morning | 13:26 |
| London90 | kane77: nope i'm not sure that's possible, mac isn't linked to ip address in the same way as dns name | 13:26 |
| syn-ack | fasta, you're gonna have to repartition some more swap space on to the drive... which filesystem are you running? | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | sipior, ok tell Lint , he seems to think he needs to defrag ..maybe you can tell him how to defrag or not | 13:26 |
| indus | i want some easy questions | 13:26 |
| indus | anyone? | 13:26 |
| syn-ack | fasta, And, btw I know what the release notes say | 13:26 |
| jrib | Younder: erm, please don't recommend setting a root passowrd here, especially when there's no reason to do so | 13:26 |
| Younder | tigertiger, then do the 'su' | 13:27 |
| fasta | syn-ack, ok, so when I say "hibernate", I get this black screen (console) with some exception and then the system exits. On reboot, the BIOS says "resuming", but Ubuntu just boots instead of resuming. | 13:27 |

| sipior | Lint: the important question for you is not whether you have fragmented files (that's unavoidable), but whether there is an concomitant impact on system performance. i'm don't imagine there is. | 13:27 |
| jrib | !noroot > Younder | 13:27 |

| ebtek220 | i lost the wicd icon in my tray. it is marked on my startup to work but doesn't show up. is there a way to get it back using the terminal? | 13:27 |
| syn-ack | fasta, standby | 13:27 |
| fasta | syn-ack, ok, I don't know what everyone knows. | 13:27 |
| sipior | Lint: and please forgive my poor grammar. fingers don't want to work properly today... | 13:27 |

| Younder | jrib, hard not to when I had to reinstall my old system because I didn't have one | 13:28 |
| angelus | fasta have you installed Linux before ?? | 13:28 |
| friendishan | epinky : u there? | 13:28 |
| anon_ | I have 4 GB on my system, but the Gnome system monitor only shows 2.9 GB. How do I let Ubuntu to use the full 4 GB? | 13:28 |
| jrib | Younder: do you want to know how you could have avoided a reinstall? | 13:28 |
| mrXX | guys, is it possible to make one of the sites in my apache virtual host to be a www site? | 13:28 |
| syn-ack | fasta, once you resize one of those ext3 parts down some, enlarge your swap part | 13:28 |
| fasta | angelus, what kind of question is that? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: install the 64bit version, or install the server kernel which has PAE enabled | 13:28 |
| jrib | mrXX: sure, why not | 13:28 |
| syn-ack | fasta, before you do that, read man swapon | 13:28 |
| fasta | syn-ack, by how much exactly? | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: 32bit OSs can only access that much RAM | 13:29 |
| angelus | well ... my next piece of advice is completely useless if you have instlled it before .... | 13:29 |
| fasta | syn-ack, I have 4GB RAM. | 13:29 |
| ebtek220 | still didn't show up in the tra | 13:29 |
| indus | fasta: i think he just wants to know if its your first time, no offence | 13:29 |
| ebtek220 | y | 13:29 |
| anon_ | ActionParsnip, well I have the 32 bit Ubuntu, so you might be right :) | 13:29 |
| syn-ack | fasta, you want your swap to be equal to or twice as much as the RAM on the machine | 13:29 |
| mrXX | jrib how to you do it? I have already got a free dns , but i try logging to my site through proxy but it doesn't work | 13:29 |
| rlo | Trying to install app-cacher on a server. Catch is that the workstations are running Jaunty while the server's running hardy. Is this safe, or are there any hidden "gotchas" here? Thanks in advance... | 13:29 |
| fasta | syn-ack, I just want to know the minimum value that is guaranteed to work. | 13:29 |
| indus | fasta: keep swap at 1 gb ,its more than enough, dont waste hdd space | 13:29 |
| syn-ack | I just told you | 13:29 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: if you install the server kernel and boot to it, you should get more ram accessible | 13:29 |
| Younder | jrib, too late.. | 13:29 |
| indus | fasta: 512 mb works great | 13:29 |

| Younder | jrib, It was done weeks ago | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: or a more futureproof solution is to install 64bit Ubuntu to allow you to add more ram | 13:30 |
| syn-ack | fasta, you're kinda leading him down the wrong path here... | 13:30 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | hi how do i access "system > administration" if it's not in my panel? thanks | 13:30 |
| jrib | Younder: k, but please keep in mind that setting a root password is unnecessary when helping others here | 13:30 |
| legend2440 | anon_: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ | 13:30 |
| indus | IpSe_DiXiT: hmm | 13:30 |
| anon_ | ActionParsnip, but will 32 bit programs work on the 64 bit system? | 13:30 |
| indonesia | syn-ack : what? | 13:30 |
| jrib | IpSe_DiXiT: add it to your panel? | 13:30 |
| indus | IpSe_DiXiT: right click on edit menu | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: they can if you install ia32-libs | 13:30 |
| syn-ack | indus, that was to, not you indonesia | 13:30 |
| syn-ack | sorry | 13:31 |
| indonesia | syn-ack : kk | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: the apps you use will have 64bit versions on the repos | 13:31 |
| fasta | syn-ack, the thing is, I never need 4GB RAM in a normal session. | 13:31 |
| jrib | mrXX: buy a domain, point your domain to your ip, that's it | 13:31 |
| === YUKI is now known as wet | ||
| indus | syn-ack: which wrong path, i prefer calling it the path not much taken :) | 13:31 |
| mrXX | jrib i have a dns (from dyndns) pointed to my ip, | 13:31 |
| syn-ack | fasta, then make your swap 4 gigs | 13:31 |
| kartook | any one tell me whic is the right channel to join for Dekstop ubuntu help | 13:31 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | jrib: there's no way to add, it's a custom version, is it possible it's no where else? the panel's just a link, it has to be accessible from somewhere else... | 13:31 |
| tigertiger | i open the synaptic Package Manager,,how can setup the option to play the mp3 files | 13:31 |
| syn-ack | indus, thats wrong information. | 13:31 |
| Pici | kartook: This is it. | 13:31 |
| indus | syn-ack: what is? | 13:31 |
| tigertiger | thank you in advance | 13:31 |
| London90 | kartook: you're in it | 13:31 |
| fasta | syn-ack, Ok, I was under the impression it didn't work if you had less than the size of your RAM. | 13:31 |
| kartook | thanks | 13:31 |
| Younder | jrib, yes, the windows look alike.. | 13:32 |
| fasta | syn-ack, if that's a false impression then I know enough. | 13:32 |
| ebtek220 | jrib: an other ideas on how to get wicd back in the tray | 13:32 |
| kartook | i need to create a menus on my mouse rught clicks | 13:32 |
| jrib | IpSe_DiXiT: it's not just a link. The menu is formed from .desktop files. You can certainly run all of the programs listed there using the terminal if you want | 13:32 |
| kartook | like Knoppix | 13:32 |
| syn-ack | fasta, youre generally right too, indus was trying to give you bad info | 13:32 |
| legend2440 | tigertiger: in synaptic look for ubuntu-restricted-extras and install it | 13:32 |
| kartook | how can | 13:32 |
| mrXX | jrib i think i have to configure my apache for that, but i dont know, I do have a dns pointing to my ip | 13:32 |

| IpSe_DiXiT | jrib: ok i need to run "language selector" im also searching it in synaptic but with no luck | 13:32 |
| indus | syn-ack: can you explain why you keep saying my name and not mentioning which info is wrong?? | 13:32 |
| jrib | mrXX: do you have a router or firewal between your machine and the internet? | 13:32 |
| syn-ack | Madpilot, for hibernation it is manditory | 13:33 |
| wagner | find | 13:33 |
| jrib | IpSe_DiXiT: no idea, but try: gnome-lang<TAB><TAB> | 13:33 |
| ascheel | Anybody know of a way to limit which logins are listed in the gdm login screen? | 13:33 |
| Lint | IpSe_DiXiT, gnome-language-selector | 13:33 |
| mrXX | jrib yes i have a router | 13:33 |
| syn-ack | indus, your comment to fasta regarding swap space size was completely wrong. | 13:33 |
| hirschi1974 | ich braeucht mal ein wenig Hilfe beim Konfigurieren von X11 und einer radeon mobility 7500 unter karmic koala 9.10 | 13:33 |
| wagner | hi | 13:33 |
| jrib | mrXX: you need to forward port 80 to your machine | 13:33 |
| Madpilot | syn-ack, true, but hibernation of desktops isn't that common | 13:33 |
| miked595 | indus: I believe the hibernate process dumps the ram to the swap partition so you need a swap at least the size of your ram for it to fit | 13:34 |
| fasta | Madpilot, what makes you think this is a desktop?\ | 13:34 |
| syn-ack | Madpilot, but he WANTS to hibernate. | 13:34 |
| indus | syn-ack: no it inst, you arent wrong if you quote whats generally quoted | 13:34 |
| tigertiger | in my system there is no ubuntu-restricted-extras ,,how can i do then | 13:34 |
| tigertiger | ?? | 13:34 |
| fasta | Madpilot, It isn't. | 13:34 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Lint: nice clue, it's not installed, ill install it then :D thanks | 13:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tigertiger: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:34 |
| Madpilot | syn-ack, fasta - fair enough. Missed that part of the discussion earlier, sorry. | 13:34 |
| syn-ack | indus, and what's GENERALLY quoted is equal to or twice as much | 13:34 |
| mrXX | jrib do i need to have access to the router to do that? cause i use the internet of the university in my dorm, it is not mine personal | 13:34 |
| kartook | how can i make a menus on mouse right click ??? | 13:34 |
| jrib | mrXX: yes | 13:34 |
| syn-ack | indus, so your info is wrong. | 13:34 |
| indus | syn-ack: 1 gb is more than enough for almost all things including hibernate, the often used commenet of twice the ram is too old now | 13:34 |
| mrXX | jrib damn, so there is no way around? | 13:35 |
| Xcell | kartook- install nautilus-actions | 13:35 |
| jrib | mrXX: does your computer get its own ip to the outside world? | 13:35 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | Lint: but it's a gnome pack, and im running lxde... that might be a prob | 13:35 |
| kartook | ohh cool | 13:35 |
| syn-ack | indus, it's been like that since the beginning of time, according to linus | 13:35 |
| indus | syn-ack: so lets not get into whats right or whats wrong, lets see what works | 13:35 |
| legend2440 | tigertiger: in synaptic on top open Settings>Repositories and see if there is check mark next ot the (multiverse) repository | 13:35 |
| kartook | can i get offline installation pack for GNOME | 13:35 |
| wagner | seach | 13:35 |
| Madpilot | tigertiger, close Synaptic, open Software Sources (System->Admin->Software Sources) and make sure Universe and Multiverse are checked off | 13:35 |
| indus | syn-ack: bad argument | 13:35 |
| kartook | i have kubuntu in my home | 13:35 |
| fasta | Since everyone is arguing here, is there a document which just states how it actually is? I.e. some kind of authority? | 13:35 |
| mrXX | jrib i believe so, i have an ip of format 80.10.... | 13:35 |
| jrib | mrXX: i.e. is 199.8.13.1 your ip or the router's? | 13:35 |
| indus | syn-ack: time has changed now, | 13:35 |
| kartook | no insterneti need to install DNOME how can i install ? | 13:35 |
| mrXX | jjrib no | 13:35 |
| mrXX | jrib | 13:35 |
| miked595 | fasta: you using the wubi install? | 13:36 |
| mrXX | jrib no, it is like 80.10.47.90 | 13:36 |
| jarod51 | my computer janitor hangs, what can i do ? | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: about what? | 13:36 |
| fasta | miked595, no. | 13:36 |
| syn-ack | indus, if you like, I can show in the ubuntu documentation where it recommends it. so don't tell someone that they need less than the rule of thumb | 13:36 |
| acr0nym | hi I'm on 9.10 right now but there doesn't seem to be a xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ | 13:36 |
| acr0nym | any ideas? | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | jarod51: reinstall it | 13:36 |
| jrib | mrXX: well right now I see your ip as 199.8.13.1 so... | 13:36 |
| indus | syn-ack: you telling me if i have 4 gb ram , i use a swap of 8 gb? what a waste | 13:36 |
| hirschi1974 | wo kann ich den jetzt angeben welche grafikkarte ich besitze bzw. welche treiber mit welchen optionen ich fahren moechte? | 13:36 |
| jarod51 | ActionParsnip: allready done | 13:36 |
| dashavoo | dmesg tells me wlan0: direct probe to AP 00:24:b2:74:fb:9e try 1,2,3, then timed out | 13:36 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip, about the size of swap for hibernate to work always. | 13:36 |
| john-saint | hi all. does anyone know where i can get ubuntu screen savers from cus half of the ones on 9-10 are not on there! | 13:36 |
| jarod51 | ActionParsnip: reinstall from start | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | acr0nym: this is normal, if you add one it will be read, ubuntu relys on hal now (very nnoying) | 13:36 |
| hirschi1974 | xorg.conf ist nicht mehr vorhanden?! | 13:36 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, de | hirschi1974 | 13:36 |

| indus | syn-ack: i know what the doc says, its time for it to be revised anyway | 13:36 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip, E.g. if I use a 2GB swap for 4GB RAM, but only use about 1.5GB RAM will it still work? | 13:36 |
| mrXX | jrib so what does it mean? cuase that ip you saw doesn't open my local host, but the other ip does | 13:37 |
| resno | i started something in screen, how do i go back and close it? | 13:37 |
| acr0nym | thanks ActionParsnip | 13:37 |
| Younder | I recomend all set up the Ubuntu Fire Wall UFW as it is not set up by default | 13:37 |
| syn-ack | indus, well, there are always swap files too, but for hibernation you NEED to have a physical swap partition | 13:37 |

| ActionParsnip | fasta: system has <2gb ram, swap = 2xram. system has >2gb ram then use 1xram | 13:37 |
| bidossessi | meatbun, nautilus? | 13:37 |
| tigertiger | in my system there is no system-> admin-> software sources ...why? | 13:37 |
| hirschi1974 | oh ok | 13:37 |
| indus | syn-ack: i think you misread or misquoted me, 1gb ram is good enough for most here, unlesssomeone says otherwise | 13:37 |
| syn-ack | indus, and to ensure hibernation works correctly, you should follow the information | 13:37 |
| rudi | rudi125 | 13:37 |

| fasta | ActionParsnip, Thanks! | 13:38 |
| kartook | how can i install the GNOME on my kubuntu ? | 13:38 |

| Madpilot | tigertiger, you have a System menu? System->Administration->Software Sources? | 13:38 |
| indus | syn-ack: doc says it so its always corect? | 13:38 |

| jrib | mrXX: <bunch of people in dorm> -> router -> internet -> me. I only see "router", so when I ask router for a web page, it doesn't know I want the web page from you | 13:38 |
| indus | syn-ack: ill go edit the doc if you wish | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | Lint, call me a liar if you want, I really beleived that fsck would do what I said . Technically I was mistaken but I wasn't deliberstely misleading you. Only a liar would do such a thing. Maybe you should read this :http://lwn.net/Articles/248180/ | 13:38 |
| hirschi1974 | cu | 13:38 |
| ubuntunewbie2 | can ubuntu install on an logical partition ? | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: if you have loads of ram and never exceed it, you do not even need swap | 13:39 |
| bidossessi | meatbun, the other machines on your network are running sftp? if so, you should see the sftp servers listed in "Network" in nautilus. | 13:39 |
| miked595 | indus: you swap size, when using hibernate, needs to be at least the same or bigger the size of your ram. If you never hibernate and have 4gb of ram you can forgo the swap all together | 13:39 |
| mrXX | jrib can i pm you | 13:39 |
| tigertiger | ubuntu linux for human beings : Version for your Pc | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntunewbie2: sure | 13:39 |
| xt28 | ubuntunewbie2: yes. | 13:39 |
| indus | syn-ack: oops ,nvm too much waste of channel space | 13:39 |
| syn-ack | indus, listen. I've been running linux since 1998, I think I know what I'm talking about. | 13:39 |
| jrib | mrXX: please keep the discussion in the channel so everyone can help you | 13:39 |
| indus | syn-ack: no issues , lets leave it | 13:39 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip, that's what I don't understand. I do have loads of RAM, but hibernation doesn't work. | 13:39 |
| ubuntunewbie2 | ActionParsnip , xt28 : thanks :-) | 13:39 |
| meatbun | bidossessi, i found out how | 13:39 |
| DarwinSurvivor | can the unr interface be dissabled in karmic netbook remix? | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: not something i use or bother with, not worth it | 13:39 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip, the only reason I am interested in swap is because I want hibernation. | 13:39 |
| Madpilot | tigertiger, OK, so do you have a System menu? with an Administration submenu? | 13:39 |
| indus | miked595: if i had 1 gb of ram, system wont hibernate? | 13:39 |
| resno | tigertiger: thats hugley generic. do you see a k at the bottom left corner or a menu of things up top? | 13:39 |
| mrXX | jrib so what does that mean, will i not be able to have a dns? | 13:40 |
| jrib | mrXX: doesn't seem like it | 13:40 |
| indus | syn-ack: hasnt linux changed since 1998 to now? | 13:40 |
| fasta | ActionParsnip, ok, but since I do want to use it I should just get the swap. | 13:40 |
| syn-ack | fasta, it's not going to work if you dont have enough swap. Thats where the system saves the hiberfile. | 13:40 |
| xt28 | ubuntunewbie2: you're welcome! | 13:40 |
| miked595 | indus: I have 1gb with a 4gb swap and the system won't hibernate.. so my issue is not swap space lol | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | linux has changed radiaclly since 1998 :) | 13:40 |
| bidossessi | syn-ack, hibernate uses disk, suspend uses ram | 13:40 |
| indus | miked595: ya hihih mine is an nvidia problem i think | 13:40 |
| ActionParsnip | fasta: sure | 13:41 |
| indus | ok bidossessi has some fresh info :) | 13:41 |
| syn-ack | bidossessi, yeah, and where exactly is the swap partition? | 13:41 |
| mrXX | jrib try this ip which works for me 10.80.49.97 | 13:41 |
| bidossessi | syn-ack, sorry, not meant for you, typo | 13:41 |
| olman67 | Dr_Willis, agreed, there have been massive updates to linux since the late 90's | 13:41 |
| indus | suspend to ram is correct | 13:41 |
| miked595 | indus: I get some tuxonice binary sig not found error | 13:41 |
| London90 | exitr | 13:41 |
| Younder | Dr_Willis, Yes. I ran a redhat 5.0 version back then | 13:41 |
| indus | miked595: yikes whats that | 13:41 |
| anon_ | I have 4 GB of RAM now, thanks! :) | 13:41 |
| indus | anon_: you installed 64 bit? | 13:41 |
| jrib | mrXX: nope | 13:41 |
| anon_ | No, i installed the server kernel. | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: cool | 13:42 |
| meatbun | bidossessi, it's over a WAN connection. not my local LAN | 13:42 |
| syn-ack | Dr_Willis, My point to the young man is that I'm quite experienced. | 13:42 |
| Younder | Dr_Willis, Now it's fedora and redhat is commmercial distribution | 13:42 |
| anon_ | thnx, ActionParsnip | 13:42 |
| jrib | mrXX: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address#IPv4_private_addresses | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | anon_: i'd install the 64bit Ubuntu if you want access to any more | 13:42 |
| anon_ | I'll do in the future. | 13:42 |
| meatbun | bidossessi, though i am curious via ur method | 13:42 |
| bidossessi | meatbun, then you should be able to use the "connect to server" widget | 13:42 |
| Lint | tigertiger, can you press Alt+F2 and tell us what happens? | 13:42 |
| indus | heh iam a young man :) | 13:43 |
| indus | cool | 13:43 |
| Younder | ActionParsnip, better have more RAM.. 64 bit usuallly needs 2 Gb these days | 13:43 |
| tigertiger | Run Application | 13:43 |
| tigertiger | Dialog | 13:43 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: hi whats up | 13:43 |
| tigertiger | apperas | 13:43 |
| meatbun | bidossessi, u widget or click on 'connect to server' from somewhere? | 13:43 |
| tigertiger | when i press Alt+F2 | 13:44 |
| fasta | Is there also an easy way to switch from 32 bit Ubuntu to 64 bits? | 13:44 |
| Lint | type there xterm and press Enter. Then type lsb_release -a and tell us what's written | 13:44 |
| indus | ActionParsnip: what was that trick of using more swap space or other way round | 13:44 |
| bidossessi | meatbun, you can add that to the panel by rightclicking on it, i believe | 13:44 |
| erUSUL | fasta: reinstall | 13:44 |
| indus | fasta: none | 13:44 |
| fasta | erUSUL, will that save my /home? | 13:44 |
| xt28 | !enter | tigertiger | 13:44 |
| Younder | fasta, no, it's a reinstall | 13:44 |
| indus | fasta: reinstall only | 13:44 |
| ubottu | tigertiger: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 13:44 |
| indus | fasta: hmm yes | 13:44 |
| indus | Younder: if its a separate home , then yes | 13:45 |
| bidossessi | meatbun, in should give you a list of things you can add to your panel, and "connect to server" should be one of them | 13:45 |
| erUSUL | fasta: no; you will have to backup it yourself or maybe move it to its own parition that makes things easier | 13:45 |
| pkkm | how to install a font? | 13:45 |

| dashavoo | I have resolved my wireless problem by blacklisting two modules, rt2800usb and rt2870sta, I have no idea which of these did the trick, it was a complete shot in the dark. Thought I would mention it incase anyone else comes here with a similar issue. | 13:45 |
| pkkm | Lint, yes | 13:45 |
| JohnMcDoe | who | 13:45 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: what's up ? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: I see, never mind | 13:46 |
| syn-ack | ikonia, he left as I hit enter. Sorry about that | 13:46 |
| Younder | indus, ? You remove the 32 bit version and reinstall or you add a 64 bit version. | 13:46 |
| ikonia | syn-ack: not a problem | 13:46 |
| tigertiger | Madpilot : i have a system menu , and with an Administration submenu ... | 13:46 |
| Lint | pkkm, drop it in /usr/share/fonts/truetype . It should work immediately | 13:46 |
| indus | i reinstall a 64 bit version over my older 32 bit install but i had a separate home partition, its fine and untouched | 13:46 |
| AmokPaule | Hello, in which file is the rootpassword stored? | 13:46 |
| miked595 | so no one ever got hibernate to actually work? | 13:46 |
| erUSUL | AmokPaule: ubuntu has no root password | 13:47 |
| legend2440 | tigertiger: right click the word Applications on top panel and choose Edit Menus brows to Administration. is Software Sources there? if so put check mark next to it | 13:47 |
| indus | during partition just give the K parameter | 13:47 |
| Madpilot | tigertiger, OK, good. but no Software Sources item on the Admin submenu? | 13:47 |
| syn-ack | erUSUL, yes it does. its scrambled | 13:47 |
| ikonia | AmokPaule: /etc/passwd for the account and /etc/shadow for the account, be aware there is no real root password available though | 13:47 |
| syn-ack | erUSUL, and its not meant to be changed | 13:47 |
| Madpilot | ubottu, root | AmokPaule | 13:47 |
| ubottu | AmokPaule: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:47 |
| indus | AmokPaule: /etc/passwd | 13:47 |
| xt28 | syn-ack: no. | 13:47 |
| erUSUL | syn-ack: i know all that been using linux since 1998 too ;P is the short answer | 13:47 |
| indus | AmokPaule: /etc/shadow sorry | 13:47 |
| ikonia | indus: no - that is not the passwd | 13:47 |
| olvap | any one know a good ruby server? | 13:47 |
| indus | ikonia: sorry | 13:47 |
| indus | ikonia: /etc/shadow? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | olvap: ruby is a scripting language | 13:48 |
| indus | is correct | 13:48 |
| ikonia | indus: correct | 13:48 |
| Younder | AmokPaule, you probably want sudo su, | 13:48 |
| indus | thanks | 13:48 |
| indus | was a mistype | 13:48 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | AmokPaule | 13:48 |
| ubottu | AmokPaule: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 13:48 |
| sipior | syn-ack: no, the account is disabled. | 13:48 |
| Younder | AmokPaule, from the command line | 13:48 |
| ikonia | Younder: no he doesn't | 13:48 |
| ikonia | AmokPaule: what are you actually looking to do ? | 13:48 |
| syn-ack | sipior, wasnt aware they physically disabled the account now. :/ | 13:48 |

| bazhang | user1, no need for that; at least under more recent version of ubuntu | 14:04 |
| xt28 | Valentina: here's what i meant: if you deleted exactly one partition, and created a new partition in its space and if this new partition is at least as big as the one you deleted, there shouldn't be a problem. | 14:05 |
| mosta | so | 14:05 |

| xt28 | Valentina: a device mapper partition. | 14:10 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, it seems you installed the system after you inserted the hdd, or that your fstab file was changed to use that disk. i suggest you figure out what you did before thinking about formatting, and potentially loosing data | 14:11 |

| bidossessi | Valentina, the system does not shuffle your mount points around on it's own. if your sdc is now mounted on /home,, then it means you installed it that way | 14:13 |

| mbeierl | Valentina: sorry - joining in late to the discussion - some sata controllers insert drives higher than others on the board - the new drive might have a higher number id and that's why it shows up first | 14:16 |
| mahngiel | ty A.P. | 14:16 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: Ok, well, I think it wouldn't mess up them on it's own. I can see I have my /home at sdc and my file system at sdb. And I can't even see the new hard drive using sudo fdisk -l because of it's not mounted? | 14:16 |

| xt28 | mbeierl, how does that matter? Valentina, are you unsure which partition is on which physical disk? | 14:21 |

Old drive back in the day didnt have the small pcb so had no cache or intelligence and relied solely on the controller for instruction. The new iDE drives came out and its just stuck, technically any drive with a little controller circuit is IDE, SATA drives are ISE too. People really mean PATA or parallel ATA ;) | 14:22 |

| gnusar | bidossessi: nope, about the file browser | 14:23 |
| mbeierl | xt28, Valentina: I was just confused that ubuntu now starts reporting the old /dev/hdX as /dev/sdX. Prior versions used to report PATA (or 40-pin ide, or whatever) as hd not sd. | 14:23 |
| xt28 | Valentina: this is getting confusing. can you re-state the problem that you are trying to solve? | 14:23 |
| kartook | can i use this link for generating the repos for me : http://pastebin.ca/1664906 | 14:23 |
| bidossessi | gnusar, why would you want to do that? can you do it in antoher OS? | 14:23 |
| xt28 | mbeierl: true. | 14:23 |
| Madpilot | mbeierl, that change happened a couple of Ubuntu releases ago - some change in the underlying libraries, apparently | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | kartook: skype is on the medibuntu repo | 14:24 |
| Valentina | ActionParsnip: Ok, I don't know but when I look into a regular computer store there are often two kinds of 3.5" hard drives, one they call IDE and one named SATA2. | 14:24 |
| bidossessi | mbeierl, that's been changed a while ago. now everything's just sdX | 14:24 |
| xt28 | Madpilot: yes. | 14:24 |
| stevecoh1 | Using Karmic, though this pertains to other versions as well. I would like to copy the icon from one launcher to another. But I know of no way to find where the launcher got the icon from and no cut/paste capability exists for this. How do I find out where the first launcher is finding the icon? | 14:24 |
| mahngiel | Valentina, different kinds of plugs | 14:24 |
| xt28 | Madpilot: the kernel, to be more precise. | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Valentina: i know, its common and people know what is meant but its not rigt but the language serves its purpose so its ok | 14:24 |
| gnusar | bidossessi: i don't know.. that's why i am asking :) just wanted to know if there is the possibility to do such changes.. | 14:25 |
| mahngiel | Valentina: IDE/PATA are an older type of MB connections and read/write slower than the newer SATA | 14:25 |
| Valentina | xt28: Well, I tried to connect a new hard drive (an old one actually) and partioning it and formatting it into ext4. I think I know how to do that, the problem is... | 14:25 |

| zaoul | What can I use to make a data dvd iso? | 14:25 |
| mbeierl | Madpilot, bidossessi: shows how much attention I've been paying. Ok, so that's why UIDs have become so popular... | 14:25 |
| gnusar | bidossessi: okay thank you anyways | 14:25 |
| xt28 | mbeierl: one of the main reasons, yes. | 14:26 |
| bidossessi | mbeierl, pretty useful, themm uuid buggers, even though they can be a hand(type)ful | 14:26 |
| mahngiel | zaoul: just burn under data dvd/cd | 14:26 |
| ph8 | hi all, does anyone have a spotify-remote type thing (from iphone/android) working with spotify over wine in ubuntu? | 14:26 |
| mahngiel | zaul: if you want an image burned to be executable, then you burn the iso to disk. not the same as putting it on the disk as traditional data | 14:26 |
| zaoul | mahngiel: I want to rip, and no its not bootlegg, it's a previously created dvd | 14:27 |
| stevecoh1 | anyone have an answer to my query about copying icons from one launcher to another? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | zaoul: if its just pure data to then burn you can use mkisofs | 14:27 |
| zaoul | orly | 14:27 |
| Valentina | ... that I thought my new drive would be at /dev/sdc BUT then it seems like my /home was at /dev/sdc. That's very strange because I installed Ubuntu Server from scratch, the file system on one hard drive and the /home on another single hard drive. So then I think Ubuntu Server will call the drives sda and sdb and I'm pretty sure it did until I plugged in another on (hard drive nr 3). Then it looks like Ubuntu Serve | 14:27 |
| Laibcoms | stevecoh1: The only way I know is finding where that icon you want to copy is located. | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecoh1: if you open the .desktop file in a text editor, you will see an icon line | 14:27 |
| stevecoh1 | But the first launcher won't tell me that. Can launchers be viewed as text somehow? | 14:28 |
| equivoc | hello, is it slightly possible that 09.10 is a big pile of shit? | 14:28 |
| === LeNsTR is now known as LeNsTR|away | ||
| xt28 | Valentina: are you trying to figure out why the device names changed? trying to find out whether your data is okay? something else? | 14:28 |
| Valentina | I think Ubuntu Server somehow moved my old sda to sdb and the old sdb to sdc when I inserted a new hard drive that probably will be sda for now? | 14:28 |
| equivoc | i'm using ubuntu since 06.04, but this one is a real disappointment | 14:29 |
| legend2440 | stevecoh1: is this a launcher you created or is it one in the Menu? which launcher is it? | 14:29 |
| elky | equivoc, this isn't the place to discuss such opinion. | 14:29 |
| bidossessi | +1 | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecoh1: yes, they are located were you have copied them to (most likely desktop) or in /usr/share/applications | 14:29 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: when you put the new drive in, it re-ordered the disks as they are found on the motherboard. If you remove the new disk, you will probably see things go back to normal | 14:29 |
| equivoc | elky: where is this place? | 14:29 |
| PupenoG | I have two servers, one of them is running nagios and monitoring both. Both servers have firewalls and the port used by nagios for remote monitoring is blocked by ufw (and confirmed by nmap); how is it possible that nagios still tell me that everything is ok? | 14:30 |
| joakim | Valentina: sda/sdb and so forth are determined after which sata controller it sits on, hdd on controller 0 becomes sda, controller 1 sdb etc | 14:30 |
| ikonia | PupenoG: depends on your nagios setup, nagios maybe also checking with basic tools like ping | 14:30 |
| stevecoh1 | It's the one for eclipse. There is a bug fix to launch eclipse from a shell script to fix a mouse problem in karmic. I have written the shell script but I would like to give it the same icon the original launcher had. Looking through all the eclipse directory structure for this icon is an exercise in frustration. | 14:30 |
| ikonia | PupenoG: the port service is only for client to client communication | 14:30 |
| elky | equivoc, there's lots of channels on freenode for you to choose from. #ubuntu ones are no place for bad language and unsubstantiated criticism of #ubuntu. | 14:30 |
| PupenoG | ikonia: I have the amount of users and processes of the remote machine. | 14:30 |
| moreia | I have a couple of hidden directories called things like .fr-cIGcnw and .fr-AnmIr9 each with what appears to be a complete copy of my entire /home/ directory in it. Any idea what these are? I can't figure out useful terms to search on. | 14:31 |
| mbeierl | equivoc: I've been using Ubuntu since 4.10, and some releases have been more smooth than others, I agree. But I've been using 9.10 since alpha 2, and think it's great for a non-LTS release. If you want stable, stick with LTS | 14:31 |
| Valentina | xt28: Well, I thought the new drive was sdc so I run sudo fdisk on it and then tried to delete a partition using the (d) option in fdisk, then I tried to create a new one using (n) oprtion and last of all I run (w) option to write the new partition table. Then I tried to format the sdc and noticed that it was the /home directory in use!!! So, my first question is, what the heck did I do to my /home partition at sdc | 14:31 |
| pranav | How can I copy files from ssh client to my computer | 14:31 |
| pranav | ? | 14:31 |
| bidossessi | pranav, man scp | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | !scp | pranav | 14:31 |
| ubottu | pranav: SCP is a secure way of copying files across networks using !SSH. Usage: scp filename user@host:filename - WinSCP is a client for Windows, available at http://winscp.net/ | 14:31 |
| ikonia | PupenoG: it's a two way chat, is the client sending back to the server ? | 14:31 |
| mahngiel | valentina, sounds like you tried to delete yourself, mate! | 14:31 |
| equivoc | mbeierl: i just said yes to the upgrade from yesterday | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecoh1: try: sudo find / -iname "*.png" which may help, you could just download one from the web instead | 14:32 |
| Valentina | joakim: So if I plug in a new hard drive it will change which drive is sda, sdb and sdc? | 14:32 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, the suggestion to remove the offending new drive seems sensible to me. | 14:32 |
| xt28 | Valentina: i tried to answer that question above. should i clarify something? repeat? | 14:32 |
| PupenoG | ikonia: not sure. I think the nagios on the remote server doesn't know where nagios is running, so it can't communicate back. | 14:32 |
| kartook | can i use this link for generating the repositories for my ubuntu : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php | 14:32 |
| stevecoh1 | thanks | 14:32 |
| ikonia | PupenoG: it must do, the clients have a server configuration so they know where to send back to | 14:32 |
| Valentina | xt28: Yeah, you told me to check /proc/partitions, right? | 14:32 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, in the meantime you should kee track of your drive's uuid so as not to get more confused in the future | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | Valentina, use GParted live cd, you can't partition while running an OS | 14:32 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: if you already used fdisk to alter the partition table, don't reboot just yet | 14:33 |

| TheTom | Hello ubuntu-people! I'm following the guide located @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile but can't find a debian directory on my system, and thus not the "debian/rules updateconfigs" command. I found my kernel config file under /boot . Any hints? Maybe there's a newer guide, iæve just upgraded to Karmic. | 14:33 |
| joakim | Valentina: but if you had devices on controllers 0 and 1, and left them like that and connected the third drive on controller 2, it shouldnt change | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | equivoc: its a software, so it can | 14:33 |
| PupenoG | ikonia: and at any rate, the other machine also has a strict firewall. | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | xt28, well, an OS on the HDD that's being partitioned | 14:34 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: so what happened is you have altered the drive's layout for the partition, but as long as you have /home mounted, you can get the data off without too much trouble | 14:34 |
| Valentina | BluesKaj: I'm trying to partiton and format a whole new drive but the Ubuntu Server played me a joke changing my drives sda got sdb and sdb got sdc and the new one sda. The mad eme try to partiton and format my sdc (Home directry) instead of my new hard drive! | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | sry shudda qualified that | 14:34 |
| ikonia | PupenoG: what port are you blocking ? | 14:34 |
| xt28 | BluesKaj: i am not sure about that. | 14:34 |
| PupenoG | ikonia: all except 22, 53 and 9103. | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | xt28, try and see what happens :) | 14:34 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: unfortunately, it's not a joke, it's the way drives work. You are not supposed to rely on the /dev/sdX names to identify the drives :( | 14:34 |
| joakim | Valentina: You probably had hdd's on controllers 1 and 2, while you connected the new one on controller 0. Thus, the new hdd became /dev/sda/ while the old sda became sdb, and sdb became sdc | 14:35 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: do not reboot, do not umount /home yet | 14:35 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: I tried to reboot before, but I'm not sure the computer did, I got thrown out of ssh but I didn't herar the fans go off on the computer, I have it right by my sida but using ssh anyway. | 14:35 |

| llutz | BluesKaj: don't know how gparted works, but you can partition all you want, except changing mounted partitions | 14:35 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, to cut it short. use blkid to identify your hdds by their uuid, remove the new drive, harden your fstab by replaceing /dev/sdx by the corresponding uuid syntax. problem solved | 14:35 |

| biblioteca_ | hello ! | 14:45 |
| ph8 | i'm about to switch my home media box to windows media centre | 14:45 |
| ph8 | mainly because of wifi problem | 14:45 |
| biblioteca_ | ohhh | 14:45 |
| biblioteca_ | stupid ! | 14:45 |
| ph8 | * problems | 14:45 |
| ascheel | Lots of people have been asking how to prevent a user name from being displayed in the GDM login screen. I've finally found out how. Drop their UID to something <1000 and that particular login will no longer show up in the gdm login list. | 14:45 |
| biblioteca_ | ohhh | 14:45 |
| ph8 | but now we've found one more issue which might not have mattered had wifi worked but i think it's enough to tip us over the edge | 14:45 |
| biblioteca_ | suck my dick motherfuck !!! | 14:45 |

| Valentina | mbeierl: I'll do a backup now, will this work: scp -r /home valentina@(ip-address of my desktop computer):/home/valentina | 14:46 |
| YeTr2 | ph8: If you believe that windows media center is the best option for you, then go for it. | 14:46 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: ok, so, it is also possible, that the partition that you deleted and then recreated was exactly the same, so there is no damage done at all, and the mkfs did the right thing and protected the data | 14:46 |
| adam12345678 | i had to reinstall ubuntu karmic this morning, i reinstalled it on a different, larger , partition. how to i decrypt the home directory on the other partition to transfer files? | 14:46 |
| ActionParsnip | ph8: if you shop smart you can buy compatible niceness rather than whats twinkliest or fastest ;) | 14:46 |
| bidossessi | ph8, had a look at xbmc lately? | 14:46 |
| rocknroll00 | Hello, when I changed the user my unbuntu freezed. After that, I restart my computer, and while browsing the internet the computer suddently turn off. I try to turn on again but it turns off during the grub loader. After that I turn it on again and this time it works..... very strange this didn't happen before. Any idea? | 14:46 |
| catamarquence | had to come back to gnome... i dont know why kde is so unstable still...! | 14:47 |
| mahngiel | AP: werd | 14:47 |
| bidossessi | rocknroll00, check your temps | 14:47 |
| m0RrE | adam12345678: do you have the passphrase stored? | 14:47 |
| === kb is now known as Guest41873 | ||
| ActionParsnip | rocknroll00: i'd run the memtest in the grub menu | 14:47 |
| BluesKaj | ph8, why not just tell us your issues ... threatening to go back to windows won't help you , nobody cares | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mahngiel: hola | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: +1 | 14:47 |
| ph8 | BluesKaj, sorry man, i'm not threatening - i'm a big ubuntu fan boy - this is only one of three machines | 14:47 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: so as soon as the scp is complete, you may be able to simply add the new drive by using it's "new" /dev/sda (or sdb) that it claimed, to create the new partition. I'd suggest using gparted if you can ssh -X (or -Y) to the box | 14:47 |
| adam12345678 | by pass phrase do you mean the login for the user? | 14:47 |
| m0RrE | no | 14:47 |
| legend2440 | rocknroll00: could be memory overheating or bad power supply | 14:47 |
| ph8 | Was largely just a vent as i say | 14:47 |
| CHESLYN | hi guys | 14:48 |
| m0RrE | adam12345678: the encryption key | 14:48 |
| kn100 | what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 14:48 |
| mahngiel | hi | 14:48 |
| bidossessi | mbeierl, you don't want to go the uuid route? future-proof | 14:48 |
| ph8 | So for my media centre, win media is looking like the best bet, but that because i want thinks like spotify integration | 14:48 |
| ph8 | which i'm actually just about to discuss on the myth list | 14:48 |
| adam12345678 | i clicked through that prompt i think because i was doing alot of synaptic stuff | 14:48 |
| ph8 | wireless support i guess is being worked on, and we just discussed | 14:48 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: the reason I'd recommend gparted is that it does both partitioning and filesystem creation and it has the ability to warn you about live filesystems all in one | 14:48 |
| mbeierl | bidossessi: I think using gparted will give him uuid, no? | 14:48 |
| xpo0f | ph8, what myth list | 14:48 |
| adam12345678 | does that mean its not set? | 14:48 |
| titusg | jaunty has removed the 'default X session' option from gdm -- how do I put it back? | 14:48 |
| === pranav is now known as tree88 | ||
| Valentina | mbeierl: Yeah, the sudo mkfs didn't do anytihng I think, but maybe the sudo fdisk did? I was told to write number of cylinders(?) and starting block and ending block, I used starting block 1 and ending block 5005 (default). | 14:48 |
| YeTr2 | ph8: also, I don't know the quality of network manager, but if you are configuring a HTC, I would say disable NM and configure the wireless connection manually, you'll probably get a better result. | 14:49 |
| savid | Hi, I'm not able to get a microphone working through the 3.5mm microphone jack on my laptop. My sound card is intel HD audio (82801H - ICH8 Family). It only records sound from my laptop's built-in mic. How can I fix this? | 14:49 |
| ph8 | xpo0f, mailing list? | 14:49 |
| m0RrE | adam12345678: it's randomly generated, if you don't have it, you can't access your files | 14:49 |
| mbeierl | bidossessi: no, wait - it won't add the /etc/fstab for him... | 14:49 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: sudo blkid for that | 14:49 |
| junior_ | ju | 14:49 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Yeah, I know, I have used gparted before, but I tried to be smart using the cli at my server. :S | 14:49 |
| Laibcoms | adam12345678: when you installed karmic, it asked you if you want to make your /home encrypted. Then on your first login, a window pops up telling you your passphrase for that encrypted folder | 14:49 |
| xpo0f | ph8, u said about myth list.. | 14:49 |
| junior_ | brasil | 14:49 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, since you have a backup of your home, i really thing you need to remove the new drive you popped in now and see whether you get your old system back | 14:49 |
| tree88 | can somebody help me in installing matlab, if I have the script file but no reply on ./install | 14:49 |
| adam12345678 | lol it said nothing of the sort | 14:49 |
| BluesKaj | mbeierl, the gparted live cd is the easiest and safest way to go ..a biut of DLing and burning but then you have an app that can even fix windows mbrs etc :) | 14:49 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip, bidossessi: is there an "all-in-one add a new disk and put the entry in automagically" tool? | 14:49 |
| m0RrE | Laibcoms: this is his old partittion | 14:49 |
| adam12345678 | it didnt give me a passphrase | 14:49 |
| xpo0f | tree88, make sure u have execute that | 14:49 |
| adam12345678 | it asked me to give one | 14:50 |
| m0RrE | and it doesn't print the passphrase | 14:50 |
| rocknroll00 | bidossessi: that is? what should I look for exactly? | 14:50 |
| bidossessi | mbeierl, nope :( | 14:50 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Will it be possible using gParted at my Desktop computer partioning the new hard drive at my server computer through ssh? | 14:50 |
| junior_ | kgjhdfffffffffffffffffffjg | 14:50 |
| bidossessi | rocknroll00, overheating | 14:50 |
| xpo0f | Valentina, maybe cfdisk will useful | 14:50 |
| mbeierl | BluesKaj: for adding a new disk - I think it's safer to do it from the running live os, no? That way live, mounted filesystems can't be touched | 14:50 |
| TheTom | I like byubo but it's a corny name! Impossible not only to pronounce, but also to remember how to type! Idiots! | 14:50 |
| xpo0f | !cfdisk | 14:50 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cfdisk | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | rocknroll00: reboot, in the grub menu, read the screen | 14:50 |
| m0RrE | adam12345678: try this ecryptfs-unwrap-passprahse /path/to/old/home/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | !info cfdisk | 14:50 |
| ubottu | Package cfdisk does not exist in karmic | 14:50 |
| m0RrE | and enter your old login pass | 14:50 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: you can ssh -X to the server and then run gksu gparted | 14:50 |
| asdf1234 | hello! i hope u can help me. im looking for days for a solution. in gnome->places, i need not only removable media shown but hard disk partitions also. its been a feature in ubuntu, but not in the standard gnome install under gentoo. i need to know how to achieve this. | 14:51 |
| xpo0f | ActionParsnip, forgot about info command | 14:51 |
| rocknroll00 | Sorry I was disconnected. I see overheating, and check the grub menu screen | 14:51 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: on the remote computer, and then it will send its display back to you. | 14:51 |

| tree88 | xpo0f: the color shown in "ls" is green | 14:51 |
| titusg | I meant *karmic* has removed the 'default X session' option from gdm -- how do I put it back? :-) | 14:51 |
| xpo0f | tree88, sure becoz it is bash script | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf1234: ask in #gentoo for gentoo support | 14:51 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Well, the backup is done, I hop it worked. | 14:51 |
| Valentina | *hope | 14:51 |
| asdf1234 | ActionParsnip: its gnome specifix, so its ubuntu. | 14:51 |

| dinya | hello all. i want upgrade my 9.04 to 9.10, but i need about 6gb free on /. how can i find big packages to remove? | 14:52 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: if the scp completed, then ya, it's good. It's pretty black and white :) | 14:52 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, for the love of all that's holy, take the time to get the uuid for each of your hhd's and update your fstab. that's the ONLY future-proof way | 14:52 |
| adam12345678 | it said ecryptfs-unwrap-passprahse: command not found | 14:52 |
| bumbblebee | which is better zlib or gzip?? | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf1234: incorrect, many many distros use gnome so your issue is with the config within the distro you are using | 14:52 |
| xpo0f | tree88, becoz it have auto-color in that script... for debugging purpose | 14:52 |
| LifeIsPain | coz_ (and whoever coz_ was talking to): http://xchat.org/faq/#q27 , create a xchat.png file in that directory | 14:52 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: The remote computer is a Ubuntu Server installation so it won't have any dekstop installed, only cli. | 14:52 |
| mahngiel | 7zip will not unpack for me | 14:52 |
| tree88 | xpo0f: how do I install it | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | asdf1234: so its gentoo, or you can ask in #gnome | 14:52 |
| * bidossessi gives up | 14:52 | |
| asdf1234 | ActionParsnip: incorrect. ur mother. | 14:52 |
| san123 | please can anyone help me i cant see icons in my panel even amarok icon and sound icon i tried to add it but it is showing already added | 14:52 |

| mbeierl | BluesKaj: sorry, yes I am familiar with gparted live, but I'm thinking for this application, where a new drive is being added, I think it might be safer to stick with the running linux os... | 14:53 |
| coz_ | LifeIsPain, hey guy thanks will take a look at this | 14:53 |
| ikonia | what's up | 14:53 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: Yes, hehe, I know that for now. I didn't know about the changing of sdX before. | 14:53 |
| Laibcoms | m0RrE: ahh, only saw the 'reinstalled karmic'. And, it doesn't show it? O_O I got some random generated code after my first login on a fresh install of karmic. | 14:53 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: please discuss with asdf1234 why gentoo support is not here, he's also being flatly insulting | 14:53 |
| xpo0f | Valentina, always with manual.. explore inside | 14:53 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: If I did know about it I hadn't started messing with the sdc from the beginning. | 14:54 |
| lianimator | Hi, is there a way to control a remote computer which is behind a router which the user may not configure? in other words, cannot forward any ports. | 14:54 |
| xpo0f | ikonia, gentoo is different.. | 14:54 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: looks like bazhang has delt with it, | 14:54 |
| BluesKaj | mbeierl, perhaps you're right , I've never encountered that situation before. | 14:54 |
| Finnish | I seriously need an invoice-program, it's also for a beginning ubuntu-user so what are your tips? | 14:54 |
| san123 | please help | 14:54 |
| ikonia | xpo0f: I know what gentoo is | 14:54 |
| titusg | anyone know a howto for adding wm options to gdm? | 14:54 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: the remote does not need desktop installed. Is gparted installed, though? | 14:54 |
| xpo0f | ikonia, sure for that | 14:54 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: remote = server | 14:54 |
| ActionParsnip | lianimator: then you are stuck, the router will always reject the connection due to the nature of NAT | 14:54 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, do it now, identify the content of each of your drives using a live cd, get their uuid, then update your fstab with uuid syntax. not partitioning needed. i can assure you that you have done no damage up to now, but the way you're going, you will | 14:54 |
| stevecoh1 | ActionParsnip - geez, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, even filtering past all the pngs with sudo find / -iname "*.png" | grep eclipse and I still can't find what I'm looking for. If only I knew what the darned thing was called. | 14:54 |
| adam12345678 | it said that encryptfs-utils is not installed | 14:54 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: On my desktop computer yes, on server, I dunno. | 14:54 |
| BluesKaj | !wm | titusg | 14:55 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wm | 14:55 |
| ActionParsnip | stevecoh1: could try *.xpm instead | 14:55 |
| stevecoh1 | ok | 14:55 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: on your ssh session, simply type in gparted as see? | 14:55 |
| xpo0f | mbeierl, maybe u need cli disk editor like cfdisk or fdisk | 14:55 |
| tree88 | xpo0f: no reply shows the prompt after ./install again though I chainged the permission as you said | 14:55 |
| legend2440 | stevecoh1: if find doesnt help if eclipse is in the Menu ( i dont have eclipse installed so i dont know if it is) then open System>preferences>main menu and highlight the Eclipse launcher and press Properties and then click on the icon. that may open a box to show where that png file is | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | !windows-media | 14:56 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: yes, remote is for me the server computer. The server doesnät have a GUI, only cli, but my desktop has got a GUI and gParted. | 14:56 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about windows-media | 14:56 |
| titusg | BluesKaj: I want to log in using xmonad -- at the moment I have to select xterm then start xmonad | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: thanks anyway duder | 14:56 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Ok. | 14:56 |
| xpo0f | tree88, maybe u need to run as root to execute that | 14:56 |
| tree88 | xpo0f: the readme file says to ./install | 14:56 |
| mahngiel | BluesKaj: what are you looking for under win media? | 14:56 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: gParted isnät installed on the server, then I will install ie. | 14:56 |
| tree88 | xpo0f: you mean sudo ./install or su and then do all these ? | 14:56 |
| Valentina | *it | 14:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tree88: when its ran does it say file not found? | 14:56 |
| Yolarina1 | How do I add the icons besides menu items (File -> New/Open/Save/Etc.) in 9.10? | 14:56 |
| xpo0f | tree88, if not have permission to execute.. how it will be ./install .. sure for root | 14:56 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: don't worry about it then. we'll just use parted | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | mahngiel, nothing , i was mistaken | 14:56 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Ok. | 14:57 |
| ampex | how can I change the default run level on ubuntu 9.10 server? I installed gdm but I don't want it to start up in graphical mode | 14:57 |
| === epinky_ is now known as epinky | ||
| mbeierl | Valentina: or fdisk or whatever you are most comfortable with. | 14:57 |
| xpo0f | mbeierl, sure for that.. parted also work fine | 14:57 |
| ikonia | ampex: update-rc.configd | 14:57 |
| Valentina | The problem is what my fdisk did to my /home partition sdc1 and how to get it right again. | 14:57 |
| guntbert | !runlevel ampex | 14:57 |
| ubottu | Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel ampex | 14:57 |
| ikonia | ampex: sorry - update-rc.d | 14:57 |
| lianimator | I'm on Karmic now and there is no /boot/grub/menu.lst so how does it know I also have a windows partition? | 14:57 |
| guntbert | !runlevel | ampex | 14:57 |
| ubottu | ampex: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 14:57 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, that is a fstab issue! not a partition issue | 14:57 |
| xpo0f | lianimator, u need to manual for that | 14:58 |
| tree88 | ActionParsnip: It says nth, not even a blank line returns to the prompt again | 14:58 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: We try fdisk, I went well last time I used it, but on the wrong disc. ;) | 14:58 |
| tree88 | ActionParsnip: the file is sure there | 14:58 |
| Yolarina1 | How do I add the icons besides menu items (File -> New/Open/Save/Etc.) in 9.10? | 14:58 |
| lianimator | xpo0f: you mean, manually create? | 14:58 |
| ActionParsnip | tree88: hmm, well thats something, least its being ran as you arent being told th file isnt there and you are using the ./ meaning the file is in the pwd | 14:58 |
| tree88 | ActionParsnip: I can read the !/bin/sh script when I do "nano install" | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Yolarina1: i thinkl gnome devs or the ubuntui devs decided that icons are only for 'real' things. not actions. | 14:58 |
| mbeierl | bidossessi: uuid for fstab, sure, but you cannot use anything other than /dev/sdX for partitioning, no? Is there a better way? | 14:58 |
| xpo0f | lianimator, i guess becoz im always did it manual | 14:58 |
| legend2440 | Finnish: open synaptic click on Search and enter invoice kraft and gnotime look like they may be good | 14:58 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: Well, I don't know, will fdisk somehow damage my file system at /home that uses the sdc1 partition? | 14:58 |
| lianimator | xpo0f: where is the current config located? | 14:58 |
| Yolarina1 | Dr_Willis: Yes, how do I add them again? | 14:59 |
| xpo0f | lianimator, /boot/grub/grub.conf | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | tree88: could try: sh ./install | 14:59 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: Or will fidsk only mess up the fstab? | 14:59 |
| ampex | guntbert: so how would I go about disabling gdm on boot? update-rc.d or is there another more user friendly tool? | 14:59 |
| mataks | help pls.. when i upgrade to 9.10 my audio is messen up | 14:59 |
| Finnish | legend2440, kraft was complaining about QT | 14:59 |

| tree88 | ActionParsnip: same as before no reply at all | 14:59 |
| xpo0f | unless u now editing in grub.. gudluck | 14:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Yolarina1: short answer.. you dont. Its proberly would need recompiling., | 14:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !itunes | Vero | 14:59 |

| electro | Is it possible to upgrade between LTS versions | 14:59 |
| legend2440 | Finnish: dependency problems? | 14:59 |
| Yolarina1 | Dr_Willis: I want them back! | 15:00 |
| xpo0f | Yolarina1, what happen | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Yolarina1: there was an artical out a few weeks back about how gnome devcs are cleaning up all these extra icons all over the place | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | electro: sure, but the current LTS is hardy | 15:00 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: xt38 said something about comparing the /proc/partitons and something else to see if I messed the sdc up. | 15:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Yolarina1: good luck then. | 15:00 |

| perlsyntax | I got a Hp pavilion dv2125 and i want to put ubuntu on it will it work? | 15:00 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: ok, so I'm pretty sure that you need to refer to the device by its /dev/sdX name for partitioning and making the filesystem, and sorry - I don't know what to compare /proc/partitions to ... gimme a minute on that | 15:00 |
| electro | ActionParsnip: ok, so I can upgrade to that when it comes out correct? | 15:00 |
| perlsyntax | i hope someone can help me. | 15:00 |
| bidossessi | Valentina, obviously your partitioning attempt fail, since you still have your /home partition mounted. so i really suggest you move off the partitioning route and get to finding out the uuids of your drives so that you can edit fstab accordingly, WITHOUT touching your partitions | 15:01 |

| mbeierl | bidossessi: I think he's got the uuid ok in his fstab for the other partitions. this is for adding a new HD to the system. without knowing the /dev/sdX of the drive, it can't be formatted, therefore no uuid yet, right? chicken-and-egg problem? | 15:02 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: Hm, are oyu sure? The partitioning by fdisk seemed to work, I got errors trying to sudo mkfs, not before? I got the option to enter partition number, cylinders etc in fdisk. It seemde to go all through. | 15:02 |

| bidossessi | mbeierl, right now, valentina has all her drives installed, so running blkid will give all availble uuids. the next step is writing them down, removeing the new hdd to get back to the old configuration, checking for differences, then updating fstab with the harvested uuids. once that is done, inserting a new drive will be harmless | 15:06 |

| ikonia | PupenoG: nmap isn't a vaid test tool, that just means a daemon responded on that port | 15:19 |
| Valentina | bidossessi: I think I now about that. I have read some info about the UUID and the /dev/sdX, that I could use both addign a new hard drive to my fstab. | 15:19 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: so, I see the partition info for /dev/sdc on your prior pastebin. I'd like to see the output of /proc/partitions now. I think /dev/sdc is still ok | 15:19 |

| mbeierl | Valentina: but /dev/sda did not show up when you used sudo blkid? | 15:25 |
| gpscura | Omaran thanks :) | 15:26 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Ok, well, what will happend if I did some damage using the fdisk at sdc? | 15:26 |
| GuidMorrow | !tty | 15:26 |
| ubottu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 15:26 |
| Omarman | gpscura, you´re welcome | 15:26 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: did you want to keep the data on the new disk? | 15:26 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Will the file system be dameged or only the mounting of it? | 15:26 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: only the mounting of it | 15:26 |
| Omarman | OK... if anybody else is having trouble with WUBI and GRUB2... I found the answer in the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314064&highlight=wubi+trouble+grub&page=4 | 15:26 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: and now that you have a backup... worst case: mkfs.ext it and then copy the data back :) | 15:27 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: No, I will remove all data on the new disc, it has got NTFS file system, I have found it on the street. | 15:27 |
| GuidMorrow | wait , how do TTY terminals work, does it communicate with something hooked up to COM ports | 15:27 |
| gpscura | Omarman and, what about Moblin? it works just with Atom? | 15:27 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: oh, that's a new one :) found it on the street... hee hee | 15:27 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Don't know what it is having, I will use it as a backup disc. | 15:27 |
| wh1t3 | salve | 15:27 |
| Omarman | gpscura... I haven't tried moblin on non-Atom machines yes. But my guess is it should also work. | 15:27 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: ;) | 15:28 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Well, I actually havenät stolen it, I actually found it in the garbage. | 15:28 |
| gpscura | Omarman: Ok | 15:28 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: ok, so what you want to do then is use fdisk or your favourite partitioning program to create a new partition table for the /dev/sda disk. I suggest deleting all the old ones and making one single new partition for the whole disk | 15:28 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: not suggesting you were, but it was funny to hear "found it on the street" :) | 15:29 |
| petsounds | hi, what is the easiest way to share file between two ubuntu computer? thanks | 15:29 |
| fasta | petsounds, scp | 15:30 |
| fasta | petsounds, or some graphical toy which is build on top of that. | 15:30 |
| mbeierl | petsounds: scp can copy files. it's not a file system that you can see from the other computer, though | 15:30 |
| Maxmim_2 | i am remote logged with openssh, and i started mpd (music player daemon), which is running, why i cant see it listed with the command ps -a? | 15:30 |
| mbeierl | fasta, petsounds: unless you use the sshfs on top of that | 15:31 |
| Valentina | I want to completely remove everything on the new hard drive, then use it as a back up disc on my Ubuntu Server system. I think I have to do this: 1. Remove the old partition table. 2. Crate a new one holding a single partition. 3. Format the new partition using sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | Maxmim_2: ps ax | 15:31 |
| petsounds | how can i go to other computer folder with nautilus? | 15:31 |
| bibinou | can someone with an english ubuntu tell me what is the correct name for the "video and sound" item in the applications menu ? | 15:31 |
| fasta | mbeierl, with Konqueror 3.5 it worked without sshfs. | 15:31 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: The problem is that I don't know how to remove the old partition table? Will it be done using sudo fdisk and then (d) option? | 15:31 |
| petsounds | i need to copy my music folder | 15:31 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: yes. You can then get the UUID for the new filesystem by using "sudo blkid" and adding that to /etc/fstab as UUID=X /backup ... etc | 15:31 |
| trism | bibinou: Sound & Video here | 15:32 |
| rapha | How do I configure a VPN with NetworkManager if all I have is a PKCS12 certificate file (*.p12)? | 15:32 |
| mbeierl | fasta: sorry - ubuntu here, not kubuntu, so I didn't know... | 15:32 |
| bibinou | trism: thanks ! | 15:32 |
| Maxmim_2 | ErUSUL ? what means -x ? that the process doesnt control a terminal? | 15:32 |
| savid | petsounds, you can type in ssh://<ip-address>/ in nautilus | 15:32 |
| Maxmim_2 | it worked | 15:32 |
| capiscuas | join #mediawiki | 15:32 |
| fasta | mbeierl, ubuntu doesn't mean that you cannot install KDE applications. | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | Maxmim_2: processe in background such as daemons | 15:32 |
| mgv1 | what should i do about empty windows in evolution? http://yfrog.com/2m39081162p | 15:33 |
| DaZ | it means you should install them <: | 15:33 |
| mbeierl | fasta: true, but what I meant was I never tried knoquerer... | 15:33 |
| bibinou | trism: one more thing ... there is a "video player" in there ? | 15:33 |
| bibinou | trism: it's totem | 15:33 |
| gpscura | What's the most secure way to download Ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| fasta | mbeierl, it used to be a great application, but now they have Dolphin which is a POS. | 15:33 |
| DaZ | gpscura: wget | 15:33 |
| Maxmim_2 | erUSUL, i think it is not because is on the background, but because does not use a terminal for that | 15:33 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Or using adding the /dev/sda? | 15:33 |
| rapha | I'm having the same issue as the guy in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=397055 - but he never got an answer. Can anybody help? | 15:33 |
| gpscura | DaZ: i'm using Windows | 15:33 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Like my fstab today have sdc and sdb? | 15:33 |
| DaZ | gpscura: then use anything you want | 15:33 |
| Maxmim_2 | ps -a, will alredy list background and foreground processes | 15:33 |
| DaZ | and download it | 15:33 |
| DaZ | gpscura: if you still don't trust the iso, check md5sum | 15:34 |
| Maxmim_2 | -x means ( i think), without TTY , that means terminal window | 15:34 |
| petsounds | savid : and how can i know my own ip address? | 15:34 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: I think we've "learned" that using /dev/sdX is subject to change and should stick to UUID, unless you plan on never ever again adding another drive? | 15:34 |
| trism | bibinou: yes, totem, although it is called "Movie Player" | 15:34 |
| Maxmim_2 | petsounds: The public internet ip address or your local ip address? | 15:34 |
| mbeierl | fasta: kewel, thanks. I'll give it a try | 15:34 |
| bibinou | trism: "movie player", thank you !! | 15:34 |
| gpscura | Daz: I'm using Firefox to download it, but it stops downloading everytime | 15:35 |
| petsounds | Maxmim_2 : idk sir, but like savid said i need to put my ip address in nautilus so i can go into another computer | 15:35 |
| gpscura | DaZ: Is using torrent a good way? | 15:35 |
| DaZ | gpscura: then torrents maybe | 15:35 |
| gpscura | DaZ: thanks | 15:35 |

| savid | petsounds, not your ip address, the other computer's IP address :-P | 15:36 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Yeah, and when I look into fstab now, I can see that is is using the UUID and the it also says that my file system was istalled at sd1 and my home at sdb so Ubuntu changed the sdX when I connected the new hard drive! That was a dirty trick! | 15:36 |

| mbeierl | Valentina: good luck to you! Same procedure, insert new disk, check to see if it's /dev/sda or /dev/sdc or ... and then fdisk (d) (n), etc... | 16:00 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: I'll will turn my server off, replace my damaged hard drive by a new one of street model. | 16:00 |

| petsounds | savid : network manager can identify auto eth0 but if i choose that, it doesnt want to connect. it always comeback to auto eth1. which is usb cable for connecting modem. (sorry for my bad english) | 16:01 |

| === werdan7_ is now known as werdan7 | ||
| Valentina | mbeierl: Yes. At leats I have learn't something new today too. Now I have to check that I'm using the right hard drive before messing with fdisk etc. | 16:01 |
| Valentina | *least | 16:01 |
| Graviton | Of course your motherboard and processor should support that amount of RAM as well | 16:01 |
| savid | petsounds, as I asked earlier, do you not have a home router? | 16:01 |
| astechgeek | if you wanted to have a drive as storage would it need to have a partition in ubuntu? | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: yep. Good luck with your HD salvage operation! | 16:02 |
| user1 | Graviton: what is the problem with 32 one. If I go for 64 then I will have to let some installed ones go with wind. | 16:02 |
| jayjay | mbeierl: That's right. | 16:02 |
| petsounds | savid : home router? | 16:02 |
| saerg | hi | 16:02 |
| savid | petsounds, you don't know what a router is? do you connect to the internet? :-P | 16:02 |
| Valentina | mbeierl: Thank you, and thanks for all help this evning (Swedish time). I'm very thankful! | 16:02 |
| mbeierl | jayjay: I do not know what the procedure for that would be. I do know that there is the a proxy/cache ability for packages, so you can have one computer act as a local mirror for the other ones in your network | 16:03 |
| saerg | can i burn a cd from a live system which is a loaded from a dvd in the same drive? | 16:03 |
| petsounds | savid : you mean modem? | 16:04 |

| jason__ | just use squid | 16:04 |
| Graviton | user1: A 32-bit operating system will only support 4 GB of RAM | 16:04 |
| savid | petsounds, If you don't have a router / switch / etc.. , there's nothing on your network that can assign IP addresses. You'll need to configure IP addresses manually for each computer. | 16:04 |
| saerg | Besogon: damn. thanks | 16:05 |
| jayjay | mbeierl: oh, I see. Well, I will try to ask via email to an administrator or the like, maybe they could tell me about costs, and the rest of the details. | 16:05 |
| mbeierl | jayjay: and so the one can attempt to keep itself up to date with the mirrors out in the world, while its connection is good, and the other computers rely on it. But for all the packages at once? I do not know how best to get the first copy. | 16:05 |
| jayjay | thank you very much | 16:05 |
| legend2440 | stevecoh1: thats the one you been searching for? | 16:05 |

| mahngiel | mbeierl: thanks. ya, i'm on it now. forgive me, i'm brand new to unix OS' and have only been using about 3 days | 17:06 |

| om26er | kreator: i would say ext3 | 17:06 |
| kreator | on SSD's they go bad over time | 17:07 |

| purma | saerg: i think it doesnt | 17:08 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: oh! ok. well adding a new ppa might not be the best for a first time user, but it's basically like so: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxonice/ppa" from a terminal. PPA = personal package archive which means that it is maintained by a regular developer, not official Canonical Ubuntu support team | 17:08 |
| spwelton | kreator: IDK, you might have a hard time finding a non-journalling file system that is halfway decent. Even ext2 has journalling IIRC | 17:08 |
| hdon | oh, my /home filesystem is full. i have used file-light from KDE before and i enjoyed that. is there a non-KDE app like that in ubuntu? | 17:08 |
| Pici | llwp, Veinor: su should work fine for changing into another user (just not root, since that account is locked by default) | 17:08 |
| llwp | ok.. did sudo, same result. | 17:08 |
| Veinor | I'm just used to using sudo, I guess | 17:08 |
| Veinor | heh | 17:08 |

| mahngiel | mbeierl: gotchya. T.O.I. says it has one for karmic. i'm going to give it a whirl. since it's only an update for the hibernation problem. i think that only impacts said issue, no? | 17:09 |
| xt28 | !paste | Mosx | 17:09 |
| ubottu | Mosx: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com (or !pastebinit for CLI) | For pasting !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin Please give us the URLs for your posts! | 17:09 |
| Pici | Mosx: #httpd (the apache channel) might be a more appropriate place to ask if you're not getting an answer here. | 17:09 |
| Valentina | Oh, I almost can't belive what difference some rubberbands did! Amazing. | 17:09 |
| Pici | llwp: su SOMEUSERNAME should work fine. | 17:09 |
| purma | om26er: aight. thanks | 17:09 |
| llwp | it used to. doesnt seem to now. | 17:10 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: correct. You might want to give the hibernate script a whirl too as it allows you to configure actions pre/post hibernate | 17:10 |
| Mosx | thx Pici | 17:10 |
| spwelton | Valentina: so it worked, huh? Glad to hear that! | 17:10 |
| Zee | how do i download compiz fusion and do the spinning cube desktop? | 17:10 |
| saerg | purma: it depends on phonon. so it can use xine or gstreamer. | 17:10 |
| Valentina | How do I get the tempereture of my server, processor and system temp? | 17:10 |
| llwp | im thinking its a shell issue. maybe my profile has a bad default shell defined? checking. | 17:10 |
| bastidrazor | Valentina: acpi -V | 17:10 |
| xt28 | Valentina: system temp: acpi -t | 17:10 |
| ischliky | hoping someone can help me with a printing concern, a standard ubuntu 9.04 installation with a self detected driver for a HP printer waits around 2-5mins to print, and often hangs after a few pages, any help where to start? | 17:10 |
| gnusar | trism: so the file is something like a script then? | 17:11 |
| Valentina | spwelton: Yeah, at leats it did a lot. I was just placing some rubberband between the hard drives and the chassis. I will have to use soe more to get it really of the chassis. | 17:11 |
| spwelton | Valentina: you might want to install sensors-applet | 17:11 |
| craigbass1976 | I've an ubuntu dev box and a (headless) cent live box (LAMP) I've had it with whatever is going on with the cent box. Is there anything special to ubuntu server edition? | 17:11 |
| xt28 | llwp, if you do su <user>; echo $? - what does that return? | 17:11 |
| craigbass1976 | ischliky, is it only when you print pdf files? | 17:11 |
| ZoeyMarie | Can someone help me figure out why my facebook inbox isn't loading in firefox? I'm pretty sure that I have flash installed, and am not sure what the problem would be otherwise... | 17:11 |
| Zee | How do i download compiz fusion and? | 17:11 |
| hsahsgdsaa | ubuntu 9.10 latest firefox crashes when I try to restart it to install an addon. What shall I do? | 17:11 |
| llwp | .bashrc and .cshrc are empty!? | 17:11 |
| mahngiel | mbeierl: after i add the repos, then it should be in synaptic, ya? | 17:11 |
| steffan | !compiz > Zee | 17:12 |
| ubottu | Zee, please see my private message | 17:12 |
| purma | saerg: ok thanks. ill try to figure out how to make it use gstreamer | 17:12 |
| bastidrazor | Zee: compiz is installed by default. | 17:12 |
| craigbass1976 | ZoeyMarie, I have a problem sometimes looking at ALL FIRENDS; could be a similar issue | 17:12 |
| Valentina | Strange, on my other computer where I also have Ubuntu Server installed I see the system tempereature every time I log into the system, why doesn't I do this on my new server? | 17:12 |
| xt28 | llwp: odd. but that shouldn't be your problem. | 17:12 |
| Veinor | for some reason apt-get won't upgrade the various kernel metapackages | 17:12 |
| bastidrazor | !ccsm | Zee | 17:12 |
| ubottu | Zee: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 17:12 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: it has the same name as the existing kernel so that it gets replaced and kept up to date automatically | 17:12 |
| ischliky | craigbass1976, its actually my mothers computer ill ask here quickly, but i dont think so, but i will double check before i give bad info | 17:12 |
| Zee | ok thank you | 17:12 |
| llwp | xt28 ... then im at a loss. | 17:12 |
| xt28 | llwp: if you want to restore them, copy them over from /etc/skel | 17:12 |
| ZoeyMarie | craigbass1976: how do you fix it? | 17:12 |
| Pici | Veinor: Are you using apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 17:12 |
| mahngiel | mbeierl: oh, ok. so once i've sudo'd it in, then it's been done. ? | 17:12 |
| skx | I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on an LVM in an encrypted container and apparently, after the reboot, the filesystem was corrupted, is there any way to recover from that? it does not accept my password (yes, it's the correct one) | 17:12 |
| Veinor | Pici: upgrade, but I'm on karmic already | 17:12 |
| spwelton | Valentina: I'm not very familiar with server edition, do you use a GUI? If so, you may have had sensors-applet installed | 17:13 |
| varun | hello again | 17:13 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade (or apt-get as you prefer) | 17:13 |
| Pici | Veinor: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already | 17:13 |
| Pici | Veinor: installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. | 17:13 |
| craigbass1976 | ischliky, if it is, then it's part of a known printing pdf bug. This printer is hooked up directly, or via ethernet on the LAN? | 17:13 |
| Veinor | ah. | 17:13 |
| hsahsgdsaa | ubuntu 9.10 latest firefox crashes when I try to restart it to install an addon. What shall I do? | 17:13 |
| Veinor | ahh, now I know why it's doing it. | 17:13 |
| xt28 | Valentina: i believe there is a cron job updating /etc/issue with this information. or something like that... | 17:13 |
| Valentina | spwelton: No, I pnluy have cli. | 17:13 |
| Valentina | *only | 17:13 |
| Pici | Veinor: Which is handy because thats how meta-packages work (new package dependencies) | 17:13 |
| ischliky | craigbass1976, directly via USB | 17:13 |
| mbeierl | Pici: isn't dist-upgrade now called full-upgrade? | 17:13 |
| Pici | mbeierl: Only in aptitude | 17:14 |
| spwelton | Valentina: oh, okay, in that case acpi -t should work... | 17:14 |
| mbeierl | Pici: ah, ok. thanks! | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | ischliky, no idea then, and I'm sitll up to my elbows trying to fix the issue I'm referring to. Sorry, can't help | 17:14 |
| Bentley | hi all - I'm trying to ssh to a remote server, which is locked down pretty tight. From win+putty, I can log in no problem. However, when I try from ubuntu the ssh command returns with Received disconnect from X.X.X.X: 7: Unsupported request (shell). I'm guessing it's some ssh client config that is causing it to send the "shell" command, but i can't figure out what... any ideas? | 17:14 |
| mahngiel | hsahsgdsaa: revert to 3.5 | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | ischliky, but I would google for ubuntu and your printer model | 17:14 |
| spwelton | Valentina: or there's a program called mbmon that might work well for you. It is CLI | 17:14 |
| Pici | mbeierl: And aptitude is a bit more forgiving when it comes to packages that depend on new packages now. But the remove stuff is the same. Its manpage has more details. | 17:14 |
| hsahsgdsaa | mahngiel How? | 17:14 |
| Valentina | xt28: Oh, no, why is there a cron job issue, I haven't done anything exepct installing Ubuntu Server on my computer? | 17:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Bentley, meh? I'm not following you | 17:14 |
| bastidrazor | Valentina: you're trying to have a modified motd? | 17:14 |
| ischliky | craigbass1976, thanks for help, annoying to fix my moms computer across time zones, mine works great :) | 17:15 |
| Valentina | bastidrazor: What? I'm trying to just check the temperature of my server. I used another computer as server before and then I cpould see the system temperature when I was loged in using ssh. | 17:15 |
| virtuald | ~/. | 17:16 |
| mahngiel | hsahsgdsaa: use synaptic to download firefox 3.5 | 17:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Valentina, lmsensors should tell you something | 17:16 |
| Bentley | craigbass1976: I try to ssh (from ubuntu) to a remote server (not ubuntu). When i try, the ssh command returns with "Received disconnect from XX.X.XX.XXX: 7: Unsupported request (shell).". | 17:16 |
| xt28 | Valentina: bastidrazor is right. it's /etc/motd, not /etc/issue that i meant. | 17:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Bentley, what's the server running? OS? | 17:16 |
| mbeierl | anyone know how to autoremove outdated kernels? | 17:16 |
| bastidrazor | Valentina: ahh, what to add in /etc/motd and /etc/motd.tail i don't know to get that. but those are the files you will be modifying | 17:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Bentley, and is this server at the same ip as another server that you once logged into from your ubuntu box? | 17:17 |
| Valentina | bastidrazor: Aha, ok. | 17:17 |
| mahngiel | i think i seen something about that in Ubuntu Pocket Guide | 17:17 |
| xt28 | bastidrazor, Valentina: i believe there is a cron job that does this, isn't there? (on desktop systems at least?) | 17:17 |
| Valentina | xt28: Well, on my other computer that worked from scratch. | 17:17 |
| Valentina | xt28: without installing any sensors or so. | 17:18 |
| devilbues | hi, can anybody tell me when I plug in a digital camera on gnome, where does it mount the files? | 17:18 |
| mahngiel | virtually | 17:18 |
| xt28 | Valentina: yeah, that's why i think there is a cron job for that in the default (desktop?) install. | 17:18 |
| bastidrazor | xt28: Valentina yes, update-motd runs to update this. it reads from /etc/motd.tail to overwrite /etc/motd .. what you would add in motd.tail to get temps to display i don't know. | 17:18 |
| trism | gnusar: yes, the file is a bash shell script | 17:18 |
| iceroot | devilbues: /media/ | 17:19 |
| Valentina | xt28: No, default server installation. | 17:19 |
| gnusar | trism: thank you | 17:19 |
| xt28 | llwp: have you tried su <user>; echo $? to get the return code? | 17:19 |
| Valentina | xt28: I'm only talking about Ubuntu Server for now. | 17:19 |
| devilbues | iceroot: nops | 17:19 |
| saerg | devilbues: /media/xyz the name depends on the device | 17:19 |
| Bentley | craigbass1976: i can't tell what OS it is - some enterprise abomination. Nope, the server is at a different IP than any other server i've hit. The problem is that the ssh command automatically sends a command to the remote server. The remote server is locked down so that all I can issue is "ls". I can access it with Putty. | 17:19 |
| xt28 | Valentina: okay. | 17:19 |
| Zee | in compiz fusion i have the zoom pan selected, whats the shortcut to zoom?# | 17:19 |
| xt28 | Valentina: also, what bastidrazor said. | 17:19 |
| iceroot | devilbues: hm | 17:20 |
| iceroot | devilbues: then type "mount" | 17:20 |
| bastidrazor | xt28: as of karmic i don't see the update-motd command. it may have been replaced with something else. | 17:20 |
| devilbues | saerg: I don't see anything mounted there, although I can see the pictures with GPHOTO | 17:20 |
| Valentina | xt28: I had Ubuntu Server 9.04 installed on another computer, then I cpuld see the temperature of the system right after I logged in using ssh, but on my new server computer I can't see anything like that. | 17:20 |
| Valentina | xt28: using Ubuntu Server 9.10. | 17:20 |
| Zee | whats the super key? | 17:20 |
| iceroot | Zee: windows-key | 17:20 |
| fosco__ | Zee, the windows logo one | 17:20 |
| Zee | okie dokie :) | 17:21 |
| mmjj23 | windows key | 17:21 |
| Valentina | xtHow can I see however I use the 64-bit or 32-bit version? I was having problem knowing whatever I downloaded form Ubuntu. (I think I use the 32-bit). | 17:21 |
| Zee | what does this mean <super>button4 ? | 17:22 |
| iceroot | Valentina: uname -r | 17:22 |
| bastidrazor | Valentina: uname -m | 17:22 |
| Pici | Zee: Whatever button4 on your mouse is (it may not exist) | 17:22 |
| mbeierl | Zee: hold down Windows key and scroll the mouse wheel | 17:22 |
| Valentina | i686 | 17:22 |
| sincity | #jakilinux | 17:22 |
| mmjj23 | windows key + scroll down on mouse | 17:22 |
| Valentina | Would that be the 64-bit? | 17:22 |
| Zee | not working | 17:22 |
| bastidrazor | iceroot: that would show the kernel only. | 17:22 |
| bastidrazor | Valentina: that is 32 bit.. | 17:22 |
| mbeierl | Valentina: no, _64 is 64 bit | 17:22 |
| iceroot | bastidrazor: yes and he was asking what is current system is using | 17:22 |
| xt28 | bastidrazor: ah. (haven't tried karmic...) | 17:22 |
| Valentina | bastidrazor: Oh, thank God. | 17:22 |
| iceroot | bastidrazor: if i am correct 64bit kernel has the string amd64 in it | 17:23 |
| mahngiel | anybody have luck getting free yahoo! mail? | 17:23 |
| mbeierl | x86_64 for 64 bit | 17:23 |
| bastidrazor | iceroot: i have 64bit and it does not show amd64. | 17:23 |
| Chris___ | my sound just quit working. I have no idea why. | 17:23 |
| iceroot | !ot | mahngiel | 17:23 |
| ubottu | mahngiel: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:23 |
| BluesKaj | iceroot, if your cpu is amd64 bit | 17:23 |
| iceroot | bastidrazor: ah ok, then i was wrong | 17:23 |
| bastidrazor | iceroot: good for a mental note :) | 17:23 |
| Chris___ | mahngiel: yahoo mail is free, no? | 17:23 |
| Valentina | Ok, then I downloaded the right version but the download button on ubuntu.com didn't change it's text when I clicked to have the 32-bit version of Ubuntu Server. | 17:24 |
| mahngiel | Chris___: of course, but i mean getting it through evolution or thunderbird | 17:24 |
| Chris___ | mahngiel: google "yahoo mail imap" | 17:24 |
| Valentina | It still said download 64-bit. | 17:24 |
| scarface | What's the best way to remove extra old Ubuntu entries on my grub menu from 9.04? Can I just delete the relevant menuentry sections from grub.cfg and run update-grub? | 17:24 |
| janusza | hi | 17:24 |
| mahngiel | Chris___: been there, done that. but iceroot is right, wrong channel | 17:24 |
| Chris___ | scarface: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 17:25 |
| mbeierl | scarface: that will only remove the entry, not free the kernel itself | 17:25 |
| xt28 | scarface: no. remove the unneeded packages with synaptic, or so. | 17:25 |
| Chris___ | scarface: be CAREFUL editing that file. if you don't know what you're doing, don't edit it at all. | 17:25 |
| bastidrazor | scarface: update-grub .. if the older OSes or kernel versoins are not there it will update accordingly | 17:25 |
| saerg | mahngiel: the free yahoo mail in the us doesn't support pop3/stmp but some the versions for some other countries do | 17:25 |
| MrSchmo | anyone in here is using 64bit and have trouble with flash, menu and stuff? is there a fix for it? | 17:25 |
| mbeierl | xt28, bastidrazor: do you know of a way to autopurge the old kernels? | 17:25 |
| mahngiel | MrSchmo: there is a bug report filed | 17:26 |
| bastidrazor | mbeierl: no autopurge.. use synaptic to uninstall .. or apt-get/aptitude | 17:26 |
| xt28 | bastidrazor: i believe update-grub is run automatically after removing a kernel (post-rm). | 17:26 |
| Zee | In 'Appearance Preferences' under 'Visual Effects' When i select 'Custom', it gives me an error message saying 'Desktop effects could not be enabled', Can Anyone help? I am fairly new to ubuntu | 17:26 |
| mbeierl | MrSchmo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/452938 has details, but no fix yet | 17:26 |
| llwp | eureka! for some reason i forgot that before i was specifying the shell. this is the only difference, and without -s im not able to sudo. must be config somewhere.. | 17:26 |
| MrSchmo | mahngiel, oic. damn no solution yet | 17:26 |
| Tommi | Simple question...but how do I make my usb storage device writeable in kubuntu? | 17:26 |
| llwp | went and looked at my bash_history to figure it out. | 17:27 |
| mahngiel | MrSchmo: not yet boss | 17:27 |
| Tommi | Or find its name, even, to do it on the command line | 17:27 |
| Zee | In 'Appearance Preferences' under 'Visual Effects' When i select 'Custom', it gives me an error message saying 'Desktop effects could not be enabled', Can Anyone help? I am fairly new to ubuntu | 17:27 |
| bastidrazor | xt28: yes you are correct | 17:27 |
| xt28 | mbeierl: that's probably a feature. you don't want old kernels removed before you know that the new one works... | 17:27 |
| scarface | I'm on 9.10 now. I installed it into a new partition and left the 9.04 partition alone, so that's why I see these entries. I'm going to keep the old 9.04 partition around for a while in case I want any old files, but I don't need the option to boot those old kernels. | 17:27 |
| mahngiel | Zee: have you installed the proprietary drivers for your video card yet? | 17:27 |
| gmathews | ki4cgp: you cant change anything on the partition that is mounted, which is my / so cant really resize ;/ | 17:27 |
| MrSchmo | programmer are really having a slow pace when it comes to 64 bit programming | 17:27 |
| mahngiel | brb. going to test new kernel and suspend issue | 17:27 |

| gmathews | ki4cgp: then how can i do anything :( | 17:29 |
| xt28 | mbeierl: me, neither. sorry. | 17:29 |
| saerg | Zee: what is your video card? | 17:29 |
| ki4cgp | gmathews, your best bet is to boot with the liveCD, and then do your edits | 17:29 |
| Tamale | does evolution connect to exchange 2007 yet? | 17:29 |
| mosta | srrry | 17:29 |
| xt28 | llwp: you do that. | 17:29 |
| ki4cgp | gmathews, let it start a liveCD desktop, and from there you will be able to do your partitioning | 17:29 |
| gmathews | ki4cgp: will try | 17:30 |
| llwp | xt28 yes, i do.. apparently to prevent logging in under certain users. | 17:30 |
| Zee | saerg can i type a code in terminal which tells me the card info? | 17:30 |

| bthomson | how do i restart usb in karmic | 17:32 |
| kjm88 | Sorry to jump in here with this. I have tried everything else. I bought a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. I plugged in the usb receiver and followed the directions. Nothing happened. I left it plugged in and continued to use the PS2 keyboard while trying to resolve the issue. During this time I decided to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10. When my machine began to configure itself for the upgrade, prior to the actual download and configuration | 17:33 |
| pshr_ | hey, could any one help me out by suggesting an API where mouse events can be recognized ? | 17:33 |
| llwp | yes the user im trying to su to has one of these, which is why i was specifying the shell before.. | 17:33 |
| llwp | presumably. just didnt know it yet. | 17:33 |

| saerg | Zee: sorry i don't know if it should work with these chips | 17:34 |
| mahngiel | grr | 17:35 |
| Valentina | Like relacing the disc that has got the whole file system without reinstalling the operating system? | 17:35 |

| paissad-hp | i would like to start automatically x11vnc on my system, , i just add "x11vnc --options" to /etc/rc.local ??? | 17:57 |
| bohney | BluesKaj: That command executed without error or output, but the issue remains | 17:57 |
| splicereal | gksudo disables the GTK windowing scheme, I think. So, that's appropriate for what you're doing. | 17:57 |
| bastidrazor | paissad-hp: you need the full path | 17:57 |
| paissad-hp | bastidrazor, ok, the full path of the command ? | 17:58 |
| john316 | on startup on my machine i have the option to start ubuntu start in safe mode or memory test and so on how do i by pass that so it just starts right up | 17:58 |

| bohney | Additional Information: I no longer have the deb file for this package | 17:58 |
| paissad-hp | bastidrazor, but it will run as root, am i wrong ? | 17:59 |
| saerg | splicereal: gksudo'ed apps can only use system-wide installed themes | 17:59 |
| bastidrazor | jcrawford: normally a bin file is meant to be executed | 17:59 |
| jcrawford | i need to install this jdk-6u17-linux-x64-rpm.bin | 17:59 |

| bastidrazor | jcrawford: find a .deb file .. rpm's will not work on Ubuntu | 18:00 |
| xt28 | paissad-hp, bastidrazor use su in rc.local if you want a command to run as a non-root user. | 18:00 |
| jcrawford | :( | 18:00 |
| Veinor | Zee: do you know how to use a terminal? | 18:00 |
| saerg | Zee: that depends on the contents of the tarball, isn't there a 'readme' or 'install' file in it? | 18:00 |
| bastidrazor | paissad-hp: as xt28 just said | 18:00 |
| jereme | anyone know how I can configure libnotify? I'm assuming that libnotify is responsible for the growl-like notifications in 9.10 | 18:00 |
| paissad-hp | xt28, bastidrazor , how to use su ? .... | 18:00 |
| xt28 | jcrawford: if you can't find a deb file, there are ways to make an rpm work, but using a deb is much more painless. | 18:00 |

| nijtram1 | Anyone wanna talk on #english | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: why do you think you need a firewall? | 18:11 |
| GJLenon | I'm not too bad at fiddling with things, but I have no idea what would be removing permissions from the sub-directory. If you could point me in the right direction, I'll fiddle. :P | 18:11 |
| xt28 | vMCubun: ubuntu usually doesn't open too many ports anyway... | 18:11 |
| rosebj | GJLenon, what do they change from/to? | 18:12 |
| Xcell | vMCubun- zone labs does that for windoze.. no need for one in conventional Ubuntu | 18:12 |
| xt28 | vMCubun: so yeah, welcome to linux! | 18:12 |

| nookie^ | hi, my friend upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Now when he tries to shutdown ubuntu the computer doesnt shut down.. i mean it starts to shut down but then it hangs.. any suggestions? | 18:13 |
| vMCubun | i am connected to the internet now, how do i update etc? i have chagned software sources to autoupdate n stuff, but how do i know if its done it or not? | 18:13 |

| kappabuntu | I use sygate firewall on my winxp machines | 18:14 |
| fosco__ | vMCubun, if you see no error it is ok | 18:14 |
| vMCubun | i would like to double check though | 18:14 |
| jab06y | While I'm here, im using intrepid because of the hardware support out of the box with my videocard(ati). I was looking at moving to hardy because of the long term software support. Any thoughts? | 18:14 |
| vMCubun | none of my sudo apt-get install gufw or selinux is working either | 18:14 |
| vMCubun | it says package not found | 18:14 |
| thiscomputer | i upgraded from 904 jaunty to 910 kermic now totem which played dvd's seems to skip throuh the dvd movies ... as before i went to the area listing help for livdvdcss any ideas | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: You might want to learn some more linux basics befor messing with selinux | 18:15 |
| fosco__ | vMCubun, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dust-upgrade && sudo aptitude install gufw (but mostly sure you do not need a firewall) | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gufw | 18:15 |
| ubottu | gufw (source: gui-ufw): graphical user interface for ufw. In component universe, is optional. Version 9.10.4-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 114 kB, installed size 1040 kB | 18:15 |
| vMCubun | i need my computer to be super secure | 18:16 |
| epinky | :) | 18:16 |
| kappabuntu | any idea why 2.6.31 kernel is sending me to a maintenance shell instead of booting properly?? 2.6.28 works fine :( | 18:16 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: learn how linux works.. and realize it proberly allready is. | 18:16 |
| llutz | vMCubun: again: how about learning some basics about security first and after that, thinking about software to realize it? | 18:16 |
| davdm2010 | could use some suggestions, not sure if this is the right place. When I type my routers IP, I get my Apache web page. Thoughts? | 18:17 |
| Dr_Willis | davdm2010: which ip? local lan ip.. or wan ip? | 18:17 |
| davdm2010 | Dr: local IP. | 18:18 |
| vMCubun | is gufw a pretty easy to use gui ? i heard firewall was the most popular one but i could get it working when i tried installing it from applications --> ubuntu software centre | 18:18 |
| davdm2010 | Dr: From the host computer, not from other computers. | 18:18 |
| mklich | \leave | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | 18:18 |
| ubottu | 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 | 18:18 |
| cyrus_mc | anyone here use cryptsetup on Karmic? I have setup that up and during boot it asks for my pasphrase. Problem is, it only gives me like 5 seconds to type it and then it continues to boot up | 18:18 |
| cyrus_mc | anyone know how to overcome this | 18:19 |
| mahngiel | lol that sucks | 18:19 |

| craigbass1976 | vMCubun, isn't there a firestarter program? GUI frontend to iptables I think | 18:19 |
| vMCubun | can i u ufw and firestarter? | 18:20 |
| Cale | oh, great, and the sound settings panel doesn't work at all without pulseaudio anymore. | 18:20 |
| vMCubun | why doesn't firestarter even install? gufw seems a little too crude and too dependent on knowing rules | 18:20 |
| vMCubun | why is it in gufw thre is NO rules? | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: they are all front ends to the iptables commands | 18:20 |
| epinky | vMCubun: my two cents go for Shorewall | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: because4 theres no default rules... | 18:20 |
| vMCubun | not even tings like "block all incoming"? | 18:20 |
| rictec | IPCop | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: theres no need.. this is not windows | 18:20 |
| llutz | vMCubun: all those stuff is pointless if you don't know what it does/how it works. it will not increase security for you | 18:20 |
| vMCubun | i dont ened to worry about people on my computer doing anything dodgy, ill be the only oen using it | 18:21 |
| vMCubun | but stopping people accessing form outside is paramount | 18:21 |
| Cale | Is the goal of Ubuntu to start out great and get successively more ridiculously broken with each new iteration in order to drive its users into depression? ;) | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: dont install any services you dont need... done... | 18:21 |
| spwelton | by default Ubuntu has NO open ports, so a firewall is extraneous IMO unless you're running some services exposed to the internet | 18:21 |
| aditya_ | hi guys | 18:22 |
| craigbass1976 | vMCubun, right. If you're not running any services (servers like http, mysql, dat-tee-dah) then you don't need a firewall. You're going to have to punch holes in it anyway to be able to ssh into it. I wouldn't bother, were I oyu. | 18:22 |
| davdm2010 | xt28: I don't see any mention of my router ip. I just have local 127... and my host ip address. | 18:22 |

| mahngiel | ask away schatt | 18:24 |
| fosco__ | !ask | 18:24 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: you are being paranoid.. in theory if you did things that way - you wouldent be able to do much. Linux wull not pop up a dialalog saying 'allow this app to access the internet' like windows does.. the program if blocked just wont work right. | 18:24 |
| ubottu | 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. :-) | 18:24 |

| ubottu | Schattenwache: please see above | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: read up on firewalling/iptables and learn what it can do and how to lck things down | 18:25 |
| Schattenwache | xD okay thank you so I try to explain my Problem | 18:25 |
| fosco__ | vMCubun, linux is a very secure kernel, and ubuntu is secure also, don't be so paranoid, you do not need a firewall | 18:25 |
| Dr_Willis | vMCubun: do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' is one way | 18:25 |

| duffydack | messiah, did it install hfsprogs? | 18:42 |
| JerVA | suleman - There is one program that you can use webcam - Skype. | 18:42 |
| mahngiel | mbeierl: can you tell me how to get that kernel again? | 18:42 |

| JerVA | I know it isn't yahoo messanger | 18:43 |
| BluesKaj | Schattenwache, do you mean remove ? | 18:43 |
| mahngiel | mbeierl: nvm. got it | 18:43 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: it was through adding the PPA for tux on ice. although I just went through it and am having problems with getting toi to take over resume now, so I'd hold off a bit | 18:43 |
| ReL1K | mahngiel: im not exactly sure what the issue is, on 230M on 9.10 both 32 and 64 bit, nvidia drivers work out of the box fine, even compiled from source, looks crisp, everything works, when hibernate or restarting gdm or dropping to console, becomes super distorted and flaky, recompiled kernel to force vesafb thinking it was a framebuffer issue, thought it mighta been a grub2 one also, but... | 18:43 |
| JerVA | but it does have webcam program | 18:43 |
| ReL1K | ...tried it on 9.04 | 18:43 |
| Schattenwache | I have 4 Vista partitions [ 1 primary partition with system and 3 data partitions with my files] then i have 3 ubuntu partitions [1 for root / 1 for /home and 1 for the swap] you understand what i mean? | 18:43 |
| duffydack | messiah, if all else fails, google it, if its doable, it`ll be up there | 18:43 |
| mbeierl | mahngiel: it won't hurt anything to grab it, thought | 18:43 |
| ReL1K | and LjL do you see what im dealing with on iceroot? | 18:43 |
| suleman | i need a yahoo messanger wid web cam facility | 18:43 |
| messiah | duffydack, what is doable? | 18:43 |
| rictec | Schattenwache, remove them befoure its too late | 18:43 |

| rictec | Schattenwache, yep its on local | 18:45 |
| ReL1K | mahngiel: not specific to hibernate, has to do with framebuffer is what im guessing | 18:45 |
| Schattenwache | And I wan't to remove them out of that Menue but not completely, I only want to seperate the both systems from each othet | 18:45 |
| iceroot | Jetsetlemming: press ctrl + alt + f1 and look for some errors | 18:45 |

| erUSUL | messiah: you can format volumes with thaqt format. but the kernel driver for hfs(+) is not in good shape | 18:55 |

| jezi22 | guys i reformatted my windows.. now i cannot see my ubuntu.. how can i see my ubuntu again? | 18:57 |
| fosco__ | Jetsetlemming, exit ? | 18:57 |
| Uruz | Purge windows from your machine | 18:57 |
| MenZa | a-rishi: Just umount it. :) | 18:57 |
| DaZ | jezi22: recover grub | 18:57 |
| Jetsetlemming | I tried that, it went to another different command prompt | 18:57 |
| jezi22 | how can i recover grub? | 18:57 |
| Jetsetlemming | And exit would just return to that point | 18:57 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: Yeah; you should probably fsck the disk first, as I mentioned. | 18:57 |
| JerVA | Delano, did you update 9.10 recently? | 18:58 |
| fosco__ | Jetsetlemming, so exit again | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Jetsetlemming: try all the alt-ctrl-f1 through f12 :) | 18:58 |
| DaZ | jezi22: just google it <: | 18:58 |
| Uruz | Yeah, go fsck yourself | 18:58 |
| Jetsetlemming | How do I run fsck? | 18:58 |
| Delano | Jeruvy, the program is responding... it's just that all my accounts are greyed out AND have red circles next to them | 18:58 |
| Dr_Willis | !fsck | 18:58 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: CTRL-ALT-F7 would've gotten you to back to the desktop | 18:58 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 18:58 |
| Jetsetlemming | Do I type that in that command prompt? | 18:58 |
| Jetsetlemming | thank you menza | 18:58 |
| jezi22 | thanks mate | 18:58 |
| pure_hate | omg I'm in n00b hell | 18:58 |

| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: You say it goes to a black screen when you boot. No errors? No prompt? | 19:03 |
| Jetsetlemming | Yeah. Right after it starts to boot, the last thing I see is the little flashing _ in the far topleft corner for about a second. | 19:03 |
| Jetsetlemming | When the LiveCD boot shows the mouse then ubuntu logo, for the hd installation I just get a blank screen. | 19:04 |
| Jetsetlemming | I left it run for ten minutes, but it never progressed. | 19:04 |

| mahngiel | mberierl: anything i can do, so i can try to alleviate this suspend issue? | 19:04 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: That's... worrying. Do you have another PC available? It'd be easier if we could troubleshoot this issue while you have access to it. | 19:05 |

| mahngiel | mbeierl: lol. well thanks. i was hoping this other kernel would do the trick. but i guess it never installed so it could write to my hd in the first place | 19:06 |
| bfdjsbfha | now, 5 days later, it says grub is loading" then the screen flashes and it restarts back to the dell bios loader | 19:06 |
| Delano | How can I remove some default apps included in Ubuntu 9.10? Like empathy? Software Centre won't allow me | 19:06 |

| bfdjsbfha | any ideas? | 19:07 |
| fosco__ | Delano, sudo aptitude purge "program" | 19:07 |
| Delano | Thanks | 19:07 |
| mahngiel | Delano: use software center and click the installed tree | 19:07 |
| MenZa | Delano: But if you're absolutely mortified with the prospect of using the command line, you can use Synaptic to remove it. | 19:07 |

| Delano | MenZa, I thought so, but I wasn't sure Ubuntu might combust if I tried to take out an installed-by-default app | 19:07 |
| mahngiel | Jetsetlemming: did you let the disc do a self-check? | 19:07 |

| mike99 | Is anyone having issues with Ubuntu 9.10 when opening folders it doesn't display all the content and just keeps on loading forever? | 19:20 |
| Cale | Let's try this again. :) I have an Audigy 2, which normally has a few dozen volume control settings that I'd ordinarily use to control the volume on my headphones and speakers separately. It only appears as a single device in the sound control panel and in pavucontrol, so I can only control the master volume setting. | 19:20 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: Yet again, I'm only suggesting the more difficult options available. Reboot your system, and hold your SHIFT key throughout the ENTIRE boot process. You should see a menu. In this case, you'll see a number of different lines. These are your kernels. Each of them come with a 'normal' option, and a 'recovery' option. You want the *second* kernel down, without the recovery option, so most likely the third option available. | 19:21 |
| arand | xisco: or #ubuntu-motu for non-main dev. | 19:21 |
| mahngiel | make99: i haven't seen it | 19:21 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: I hope that made any sense. | 19:21 |
| Cale | How the heck am I expected to control the volume/mute for my speakers and headphones separately? | 19:21 |
| Delano | I'm looking for a program that can track my internet usage and give me totals of my bandwidth consumption on a daily and monthly basis... any clues? | 19:21 |
| Jetsetlemming | And what does that kernal do? | 19:21 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: Hopefully, it'll work. | 19:21 |
| Jetsetlemming | So I should reboot and try that now? | 19:21 |
| mahngiel | Delano: doesn't your wifi card company have that for u? | 19:21 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: I honestly have no clue what the issue is, but I'm trying to eliminate a few variables here and there. | 19:21 |
| Jetsetlemming | Alright, brb. | 19:22 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: Please do - if it doesn't work, come back. I'll be around for a while. | 19:22 |

| seidos | _mc: i'm thinking about your problem, it's an interesting one. i would think there would be something, but then i asked, "why is it necessary"? | 19:22 |

| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: Type 'dmesg' in a terminal. | 19:26 |
| seidos | Jetsetlemming: /var/log | 19:26 |
| mbeierl | _mc: likewise is a unix AD authentication plugin and it's available through the repositories. | 19:26 |
| Grant__ | can anyone recommand program where I can organise photos by location (using the geotag info already in the photos), or if there is a plugin that would allow f-spot to do this? | 19:26 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: There's also /var/log/syslog | 19:26 |

| magmarules | Guys anyone has run ubuntu in parallels ? | 19:27 |
| furuno | Kan3 : yes | 19:27 |

| greha | furuno, well if it has to it will do | 19:29 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: I dunno, maybe the fsck *did* fix something. | 19:29 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: In any case, it works now. I am utterly perplexed, but I'm happy it worked out for you. | 19:30 |
| Jetsetlemming | Was it supposed to do something? I thought that was for information. | 19:30 |

| seidos | mbeierl: how did you make that happen? did you know the principal? | 19:30 |
| Jetsetlemming | Well, it started with ubuntu freezing. Do you know what would cause that? My music was still playing, but absolutely nothing I did would make the computer respond, including hitting caps lock etc on my keyboard, they wouldn't light up. | 19:31 |
| eix | Jetsetlemming: it's a known freedesktop bug | 19:31 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: That might be solved by a fsck, but I'm not sure, to be honest. | 19:31 |
| Jetsetlemming | I was in the middle of browsing a website that was running slow while it happened so my gut reaction is it somehow ran out of memory or something, but I don't see how that would cause a crash | 19:31 |
| jmg | So no one has any clue huh :-( | 19:31 |
| eix | Jetsetlemming: it's due to new video drivers/Xorg | 19:31 |

| Jetsetlemming | So, when there's a fix available for the intel crash thing, will that be automatically detected as an available update? Or since it's specific to a certain graphics card I'd have to go seek it out | 19:42 |
| preecher | Delano, i like k3b and brasero | 19:42 |
| saliak | furuno: ah, got it (sorta). need to add it as a file, then change it to an "application" | 19:42 |
| Cale | I dislike the look and feel of 9.10 as well, but I can configure that, so I'm not going to complain ;) | 19:42 |
| MenZa | Jetsetlemming: It should update automatically. | 19:42 |
| saliak | but it doesn't run in the program directory | 19:42 |
| Jetsetlemming | Ok, that's good, at least. | 19:42 |

| Jetsetlemming | Also, at least it doesn't hit me nearly as fast as the guys reporting it in those links, they're having it go as soon as they login, I was in ubuntu for a few hours with no problems before it froze. | 19:43 |

| furuno | denisk : with the applet for the gnome-panel, it can to that | 19:43 |

| enrico_ | ActionParsnip, could it be a hardware issue. It seems like there is a capacitance build up with AC connected, and my other hand is providing a discharge path | 19:51 |

| code | Pici Theres more but this gives you idea. Another one: Panel encounters problem loading. OAFID: GnomeFastUsersApplet | 20:44 |

| Phoenix2072 | Furuno, yes | 20:45 |

| pronoy | Phoenix2072: ok seems that you might be running a gfx, try intalling emerald and then using emerald --replace, the emerald window decorator is better than compiz anyways | 20:45 |
| Phoenix2072 | Furuno, any window I open is spawned maximized | 20:45 |

| code | Pici ok sorry just read your text about pastebin | 20:46 |

| furuno | Phoenix2072, or maybe there's a wrong settings in the WIndows Rules plugin | 20:46 |
| furuno | furuno : or try pronoy suggestions :) | 20:47 |

| ZykoticK9 | jac0b, just for my own info - did you upgrade your system to 9.10, or fresh install? | 22:09 |
| === Sememmon_ is now known as Sememmon | ||
| Priswell | Thank you, infid | 22:10 |
| jac0b | fresh install | 22:10 |
| jac0b | I have the ALC889A | 22:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | jac0b, that's kinda unusual then - typically it seem people who upgrade have that same issue with 9.10. | 22:10 |
| arand | jac0b: have a look at http://drowninginbugs.blogspot.com/2009/10/caveats-for-audio-in-910.html and http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/525-resolve-nosound-problem-on-ubuntu910-karmic-koala | 22:10 |
| cosmic | hello all. how can i configure kubuntu so it uses V4L instead of V4L2? i have an application that wont let me use v4l2, only v4l. thank u | 22:10 |
| aendruk | Hello all. I just installed Karmic via USB but the system only boots into Memtest86. Any idea what happened? | 22:11 |
| wrektjet | hey guys does anyone know the command to reset the resolution? my screen switched to 800x600 and i can only see part at a time | 22:11 |
| wrektjet | i shud add themenus arent working either | 22:11 |
| fbianconi | pompato: The atoi function has been deprecated by strtol and should not be used in new code | 22:11 |
| zedster | my intel 3945 wifi stopped working, It shows up in lshw but not in ifconfig or iwconfig | 22:11 |
| arand | ZykoticK9: that is the "grub fails to use the new kernel issue" Which only seems to be one part of the whole karmic sound kafuffle | 22:11 |
| fbianconi | pompato: http://www.codecogs.com/reference/c/stdlib.h/atoi.php | 22:12 |
| aendruk | ZykoticK9: Is there a bug report you can point me to? | 22:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | arand, thanks. i've just noticed the constant stream of people with sound problems after upgrading (i fresh installed and had zero hardware issues with karmic). | 22:13 |
| corinth | Which is faster and which has better codec support from vanilla? mplayer or VLC? | 22:13 |
| corinth | *gnome-mplayer, that is. | 22:13 |
| aendruk | ZykoticK9: Sorry, please disregard that. | 22:13 |
| jrib | corinth: try both and use what you like. They're pretty comparable | 22:13 |
| zedster | anyone have wifi issues after the upgrade that came out today? | 22:13 |
| wrektjet | is there a terminal command that is equivelant to ctrl+alt+bckspce | 22:14 |
| emilio | hello | 22:14 |
| jrib | wrektjet: sudo service gdm restart | 22:14 |
| corinth | Pretty comparable as far as codec support goes, too, jrib ? | 22:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | aendruk, if i knew of one i would have certainly forwarding the info to you :) | 22:14 |
| emilio | im new | 22:14 |

| arand | ZykoticK9: well, both really, First one is more general and covers more (including the old-kernel issue), but the unixmen gives instructions to the PPA additionally, which seems to be working for some. | 22:17 |

| zedster | what is the most recent kernal, I need to reinstall it, my wifi broke | 22:17 |

| admiral | Another attempt: Hi, I have a fresh & clean Karmic install and a variety of apps just keep locking up when I do specific totally unrelated things. No response to Ctrl+C. "ps" is one of those. What can I do? | 22:17 |
| aaaronlucas | is anybody able to help me just quickly? i was wondering if i could access my files from windows if i chose the "install inside windows" option on the ubuntu cd? | 22:17 |
| zedster | admiral: can you run top? | 22:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | corinth, i notice moc isn't in the !player list - it's an ncurses (text) audio player, is that ugly? joking of course ;) | 22:17 |
| Wolfcastle | hello | 22:18 |
| Kalisto | hi i updated my kernel and ran update-initramfs now i get busybox at boot with: /bin/sh: cant access tty:job control turned off. after i type in dmraid -ay it boots fine. how can i fix this? | 22:18 |
| admiral | zedster, yes | 22:18 |
| zedster | aaaronlucas: yes, you might have to use a 3rd program that lets you see ext partitions from windows | 22:18 |
| admiral | but I don't really know how to use it :) | 22:18 |
| Wolfcastle | I've noticed that the ubuntu notify osd sometimes is not working...at least when using emesene...don't relly know who to blame there | 22:18 |
| Wolfcastle | but my question is, how can I restart the notify service? | 22:18 |
| zedster | admiral: run it and make sure some rouge process is not eating the ram | 22:18 |
| arand | zedster: the linux-generic package always depend on the latest one | 22:19 |
| aaaronlucas | zedster: thanks very much mate! | 22:19 |

| docmax_ | anyone using vdpau ??? | 22:19 |
| crlsgms | my computer is locking when i install ubuntu 9.10, before the instalation even begins... is there a safe mode? | 22:19 |

| zedster | arand: if I reinistall that I won't kill anything right? | 22:19 |
| xrdodrx | preecher: Google | 22:19 |
| bastidrazor | preecher: there is a #cairo-dock channel | 22:19 |
| admiral | zedster, I've made ps lock up and now the process that is using the most memory is Xorg. | 22:20 |
| admiral | at 1.5% | 22:20 |

| === edd_vrs is now known as eddvrs | ||
| crlsgms | now im checking the cd integrity, but i just burned.. i think its fine. im with 9.10 desktop | 22:21 |
| Scunizi | crlsgms: when you boot the live cd does it display the first screen? before going to the live ubuntu environment? | 22:21 |
| crlsgms | well, i just tryed to install. | 22:21 |
| crlsgms | no errors found, ill try to boot on the live cd | 22:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | DuffDave, not sure what you mean by "displace", but if you have a gmail account - setup IMAP, copy your emails to your IMAP account then you can get them from inside thunderbird and copy them locally if you desire. best of luck. | 22:22 |
| Scunizi | crlsgms: on that first screen you should be able to hit F6 and get some options.. you might need to edit the "kernel" line by adding "pci=nomsi" at the end of the line before "quiet splash".. that might fix it.. | 22:22 |
| crlsgms | oh, thanks | 22:23 |
| DuffDave | thank you very much! but how do I do this with an POP account ? | 22:23 |
| duffydack | if I setup an account for jabber in pidgin, will it notify me of emails, or does jabber not support emailing? | 22:23 |
| Scunizi | crlsgms: this happens because of an irq sharing conflict.. that is if pci=nomsi is the fix.. | 22:23 |
| crlsgms | im trying to live boot now, i see the icon, the cd is running.... but it will lock again | 22:23 |
| ronnie_vd_c | does somebody got the wiimote with IR working in Karmic, i can see the IR in wmgui, but not working with wminput -c ir_ptr. | 22:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | DuffDave, you can't use POP, as POP will download the messages off the server! | 22:23 |
| zedster | my wifi card shows up as unclaimed | 22:24 |
| crlsgms | and... locked :) | 22:24 |

| upd | hi, can someone help me with this rt61pci error http://pastebin.com/m7cbc7839 ? | 22:24 |

| DuffDave | I have downloaded these messages in evolution and want to put them in Thunderbird | 22:25 |
| zedster | anyone else has a intel3945? | 22:25 |
| Cale | okay, another problem. SCIM no longer appears to be working. "Upgrading" from Jaunty to Karmic resulted in my Japanese language support apparently being replaced with support for Russian input, and scim-anthy being removed. I reinstalled scim-anthy and I have scim set as my input method in the Language Support dialog, but it doesn't seem to be starting up... | 22:25 |
| ronnie_vd_c | xrdodrx: there are no howto's for karmic, follow the howto for 8.10, but now mousing with IR is not working | 22:25 |

| aendruk | ZykoticK9, Nope. And dpkg.log reports a successful installation of linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic. I'm confused. | 22:40 |
| cyrus_mc | i have tried changing the console line in the upstart script from owner to output but neither works | 22:40 |
| Shwack | lol how come nobody wants to say anything about the slow printing? There's millions of unresolved forum posts about the issue | 22:41 |
| sburwood | Zykotic just mentioned that something called initrd ... if I understood correctly, replaced vmlinuz | 22:41 |
| Ph3nix | I have an other question: How use a torrent network (like eDonkey for exemple...) with my client torrent, azureus ? | 22:41 |
| aendruk | sbine, Those are different things. | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | cyrus_mc: in 9.10 the encryption is "decrypted" when you enter your login info.. it's not a sector level encryption | 22:41 |
| Younder | maintaing Axiom is more work than I thought | 22:41 |
| aendruk | sbine, Sorry, directed at sburwood | 22:41 |
| DoomsDave | i am trying to have a bash script run every time i login to gnome. i put it in my user's startup applications under system/preferences but it doesnt run it when i log in. i can run it manually and it works fine | 22:41 |
| sburwood | ok, sorry | 22:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | aendruk, is this after a fresh install? | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | cyrus_mc: previous versions require a password/phrase on boot.. it doesn't anymore. | 22:42 |
| jac0b | why was it working fine in 9.04 and not no sound | 22:42 |
| spartan07 | Is there an equivalent software to MS Exchange Server for Ubuntu? | 22:42 |

| cyrus_mc | Scunizi: I am using cryptdisks, maybe there is another procedure I should be following for 9.10 | 22:42 |
| crlsgms | thanks anyway! | 22:42 |
| sburwood | aendruk, could you tell me how to install Karmic without the initrd problem? During installation, no problem. When I reboot after, it doesn't get past POST | 22:43 |
| aendruk | ZykoticK9, It's a fresh install from a USB disk created by the USB Startup Disk Creator. A boot media check at USB boot prior to installation completed successfully. | 22:43 |
| spartan07 | sweet never heard of it but Im excited. thank you | 22:43 |
| Scunizi | cyrus_mc: when installing on 9.10 it typically has the option to setup encryption or not.. maybe you missed that.. I don't know how to do it after install. | 22:43 |
| cyrus_mc | Scunizi: the cryptdisks-enable upstart script prompts for a password, it just doesn't let you input it as it just continues on. Then if you do a ps -ef | grep crypt you see a proces running that is asking for the password | 22:43 |

| ZykoticK9 | aendruk, the post it stems from does sound kinda like the issue your having http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1847174.html | 22:56 |
| jrib | frostburn: :P | 22:56 |
| crohakon | jrib, that does not seem to work. I unmounted the device but there is no option to change the label, just to format it. Oh well, no big deal I guess. | 22:57 |
| jrib | crohakon: what filesystem? | 22:57 |
| crohakon | NTFS | 22:58 |
| jrib | crohakon: so the command line program "ntfslabel" did not work? | 22:58 |
| crohakon | jrib, I also get this warning when looking at the drives information: "Unable to read the contents of this file system! Because of this some operations may be unavailable" | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | crohakon, i tried to rename NTFS drives for a long time - had to get a friend to rename them on their mac to get it to STAY. good luck. | 22:59 |
| cwillu_clone | zedster, it's dumb beyond words (I know, I just spent the last 30 seconds trying to describe it) that one needs a gconf setting to do that | 22:59 |

| Phoenix2072 | tried netbook remix, now all my settings for appearance through Compiz do not work, can anyone help? | 22:59 |
| crohakon | I think I am just going to move the files off it is and format the drive. | 22:59 |
| zedster | ldiamond1: you should be able to do that from apt-get during the live the session | 23:00 |
| ldiamond1 | zedster yea but what do I install? whats the package | 23:00 |
| jrib | frostburn: not really my area, but I'm pretty sure you don't need axiom of choice to define integers from sets and addition so that 2+2 still gives 4 | 23:00 |
| cwillu_clone | zedster, not ext4 support, he needs to build a kernel module | 23:00 |
| jrib | frostburn: we're getting really offtopic though :) | 23:00 |
| frostburn | ldiamond1, you'd have to compile a new livecd with the kernel mod in choice, it's not a package. Can't use a live 9.10 cd? | 23:01 |
| cwillu_clone | ldiamond1, I think you'd have to install the kernel headers + build-essential, and then find a backported ext4 module for whatever kernel version the livecd uses, and then compile the module, and then insmod the module | 23:01 |
| frostburn | jrib, pschaw, no we're not =P | 23:01 |
| cwillu_clone | ldiamond1, is there any reason why you can't just use a newer livecd? | 23:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | zedster, ldiamond1 problem i see there is you'll need a reboot for the kernel to actually get the ext4 support i think... best of luck, wouldn't it be easier to just get a 9.10 live cd? | 23:01 |
| cwillu_clone | ZykoticK9, you could compile a module and insmod it, but it's still silly :p | 23:01 |

| DanaG | crohakon: hmm, is it still on the external drives? | 23:32 |
| qed | curse you ubuntu for ignoring .xsession -- i cannot get xmonad to run as my default window manager no matter what i do in Karmic. I've tried editing window_manager in gconftool, making a startup application to killall metacity and then run xmonad, but it doesnt work -- wtf | 23:32 |
| VCoolio | benwah: then edit the launcher in /usr/share/applications/xterm with gksudo gedit | 23:33 |
