| kontagious | i edited songs on my ipod from rhythmbox and when i use the ipod it says no songs but when i connect it rhythmbox can still see them. any ideas? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| EastDallas | igie: try connecting via ip address instead of computer name. ' | 00:00 |
| Gibson | dtork: i don't know man. i'd say try getting on another machine and burning a disk and booting from that | 00:00 |
| igie | EastDallas: how do I do that? | 00:00 |
| wimpog | I have ubuntu server and installed another HDD w/Windows on it. For some reason Ubuntu does not see it... what's the problem? | 00:00 |
| ninjah | I've got imbeded youtbue videos on a blog. They flicker when I watch them on Ubunut. They don't in windows. Is there a fix for this? | 00:00 |
| dtork | Gibson: so you're suggesting a fresh install? | 00:00 |
| EastDallas | igie: Go to places and choose any folder | 00:00 |
| Gibson | dtork: if it were me I would, but I started linux like, this afternoon. | 00:01 |
| igie | EastDallas: then what? | 00:01 |
| EastDallas | igie: then type smb://ipaddress | 00:01 |
| Gibson | dtork: but those files can go funny on download sometimes. then hang up at a particular spot and never finish anything | 00:01 |
| dtork | Gibson: oh, I see. Well if you have any ideas like editing the grub menu, I'm able to access my filesystem partition from a live cd now | 00:01 |
| dtork | I just don't know what kind of editing that should be | 00:02 |
| tony_ | i reinstalled ubuntu with wubi again i have a dual boot set up can i increase ubuntu's space with gparted? | 00:02 |

| iceroot | l3ns: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: better --> cat /proc/cpuinfo | 00:04 |
| tony_ | can i increase ubuntu's size without crashing vista? | 00:04 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: or the "x86info" program | 00:04 |
| dtork | Gibson: yeah, you've got a point. But that wouldn't explain why I can't start up from the other boot options | 00:04 |
| iceroot | tony_: yes but make a backup | 00:04 |
| bishop | tony u can shrink the volume in windows to make room for ubuntu but i like making room using gedit. | 00:04 |

| EastDallas | igie: go to the other machine and type ifconfig in a terminal | 00:05 |
| tony_ | i should run defrag under vista then move partition in gparted? | 00:05 |
| igie | EastDallas: is there a way to do it from this machine ? | 00:05 |
| EastDallas | igie: well, I guess you should do it on both so you'll know both ip addresses. | 00:06 |
| EastDallas | igie: do you know how to ssh? | 00:06 |
| l3ns | iceroot, erUSUL the result is here: http://pastebin.com/m6ab1a13 | 00:06 |
| blackest_knight1 | tony_: seems like a plan | 00:06 |
| igie | EastDallas: nope | 00:06 |
| kazagistar | blackest_knight1: I have Ubuntu desktop already, but it is installed in an encrypted partition, and I want it to not be encrypted | 00:06 |
| EastDallas | igie: You could log in to your router and look at the DHCP list. Know how to do that? | 00:06 |
| igie | EastDallas: not even sure what ssh is | 00:06 |
| iceroot | l3ns: yes, pentium 4 one core | 00:06 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: so; what do you want me to do with that info ? | 00:06 |

| khelvan | Hello, what is the linux equivalent to Windows' chkdsk? I have an SSD losing data and I want to check it for errors, but the partition on it is NTFS (it is a Windows 64 install). However, my Ubuntu partition is fine, so I figured I could fix Windows from Ubuntu. | 00:07 |
| l3ns | iceroot, erUSUL is it 64 bit? | 00:07 |
| kazagistar | blackest_knight1: I will look into unetbootin | 00:07 |
| igie | EastDallas: 5 machines, 2 running ubuntu | 00:07 |
| iceroot | khelvan: fsck | 00:07 |
| EastDallas | igie: go ahead and try looking at the router | 00:07 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: yes | 00:07 |
| tony_ | sounds easy enough any other steps besides back up, defrag and then move partition? | 00:07 |
| iceroot | erUSUL: l3ns i dont see infos for amd64 | 00:08 |
| khelvan | iceroot - Can you please assist me with how to run that properly? And doesn't it have problems with NTFS? | 00:08 |
| iceroot | khelvan: dont know if it can handle ntfs, sorry | 00:08 |

| l3ns | erUSUL, iceroot , so I can install amd64 on this machine, yes? | 00:09 |
| iceroot | l3ns: yes | 00:09 |
| iceroot | l3ns: amd64 is also running on intel platforms | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | iceroot: l3ns « grep --color " lm " /proc/cpuinfo » | 00:10 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: yes you can | 00:10 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: depends on how much ram you have. if you have less then 4 GiB may not be worth the trouble | 00:10 |
| igie | EastDallas: I can do it with the ip address | 00:10 |
| tony_ | thanks everyone | 00:10 |
| alankila | There are too many questions about "does amd64 work on intel". *sigh* someone should rename the architecture to x86-64, or at least the ISO image ought to be named that way. | 00:10 |

| igie | EastDallas: why is that ? | 00:11 |
| erUSUL | alankila: give credit where credit is due. AMD designed the isa. it has the right to name it imho ;) | 00:11 |
| l3ns | erUSUL, iceroot , yeah I have only 2 gb at the moment, that's why I was planning to update it to 4gb, then i heard about 32bits are not capable of 4gb rams so I checked back if I really have a 32proc | 00:11 |

| Geyeda | Hi there. Just a small question about the latest Ubuntu release. /tmp was mounted as tmpfs in some older releases, but it seems like its an ordinary folder nowadays. Is there a specific reason for that? | 00:13 |
| l3ns | erUSUL, why does a 64bit proc needs a minimum of 4gb ram? | 00:13 |
| bishop | crazy one believe that is common. do not know how to avoid it maybe someone does. | 00:14 |
| plustax | whats the best torrent prog for ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: it does not need a minimum (i use it with 3 GiB). | 00:14 |
| Crazy|One | bishop, when you say common, u mean its a bug? | 00:14 |
| kinja-sheep | h4f: Google. It is very likely that any keyloggers softwares aren't part of the repo because it post a security risk to users. (FROWNING UPON ON YOU). | 00:15 |
| bishop | yes | 00:15 |
| alankila | l3ns: the argument was more about that 32-bit systems are limited to using about 3 GB of memory and need to do various tricks past that. So that is one of the best reasons to use 64-bit system. | 00:15 |
| l3ns | erUSUL, hm. but do you know the reason why 32bit procs cam only handle <4gb ram? | 00:15 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: but if you have the system already installed there is no point in reinstalling it just becouse you can. with 4 GiB or more you need 64 bits for the system to use all ram | 00:15 |
| EastDallas | igie: open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 00:15 |
| Crazy|One | bishop, ok i will look around see if i can find out | 00:15 |

| EastDallas | igie: hit ctrl+f and search for the phrase 'wins support' change it to yes | 00:17 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: to be fair there is a way for a 32 bit processor to handle more then 4 GiB using pae | 00:17 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: in karmic there is a generic pae kernel | 00:17 |
| plustax | not sure | 00:17 |
| plustax | something that works well | 00:17 |
| plustax | and is fast I guess | 00:17 |
| legend2440 | l3ns: or you could keep the ubuntu 32 install and use the linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic-pae which can handle more then 4GB RAM | 00:17 |

| peepsalot | can someone help me fix grub after installing windows dual boot? i tried booting a livecd and doing: sudo grub, root (hd0,0), setup (hd0), quit now i can boot back into ubuntu, but my ubuntu root partition is read only | 00:18 |
| plustax | haha | 00:18 |
| plustax | nvm | 00:18 |
| bishop | bbak | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: but pae is kind of a hack (and hits performance) | 00:18 |
| kinja-sheep | plustax: As I said, Transmission does the job and is part of Ubuntu-Desktop so you should see it in Applications --> Internet. | 00:18 |
| l3ns | legend2440, erUSUL why not go reinstall with a 64bit ubuntu?...i just downloaded it now... | 00:18 |
| plustax | thank you sir | 00:18 |
| legend2440 | l3ns: as far as I know the only advantage to installing ubuntu 64 would be a slight increase in performance for cpu intensive operations. for example encoding videos would be a bit faster | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: do as you want. | 00:18 |
| l3ns | erUSUL, are there any performance issues with 64bit ubuntu? | 00:18 |
| alankila | l3ns: there is little practical benefit, and some loss of compatibility, as 32 bits is still the mainstream system. | 00:18 |
| a | peepsalot: what grub version do you have ? | 00:18 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: no that i know of | 00:19 |
| alankila | l3ns: by all means give 64 bits a go, and if all goes well you don't notice anything being any different at all. | 00:19 |
| peepsalot | a, not sure, whichever comes default with 9.04 | 00:19 |
| EastDallas | igie: got it? | 00:19 |
| bishop | bak again | 00:19 |
| a | peepsalot: that's 1.xx | 00:19 |
| tbrock_ | what file controls how X starts on boot | 00:19 |
| igie | EastDallas: it should work now ? | 00:20 |
| tbrock_ | and how could i see what is happening if this fails | 00:20 |
| alankila | l3ns: but chances are that the first thing you need to do is rip out the flash player in 64-bit ubuntu and replace that one with the alpha version at least. | 00:20 |
| a | peepsalot: that'll be a bit more complicated | 00:20 |
| a | actually the best would be a reinstall of ubuntu | 00:20 |
| EastDallas | igie: save it, and you'll need to restart samba | 00:20 |
| l3ns | alankila, erUSUL legend2440 , I have a new hd, can I just install the 64bit ubuntu there, keeping my 32 bit intact on the old hd? | 00:20 |
| EastDallas | igie: in a terminal type /etc/init.d/samba restart | 00:21 |
| a | peepsalot: because rewriting grub config etc. from scretch is really hard | 00:21 |
| erUSUL | l3ns: yes. then you can just transfer the home folder and the conf files to the 64 bit install | 00:21 |
| sprung | after FIVE distribution upgrades, simply reinstalling Ubuntu solved a load of problems for me. | 00:21 |
| EastDallas | igie: we may have to do something else, but lets see if it works now | 00:21 |

| WatchMan | iceroot: intel yes. 9.01 karmic | 00:23 |
| alankila | LlamaZorz: yes, the swap needs to be enabled before tmpfs will use it. Even then it will only do the normal paging sort of activity with it, it doesn't by default write to swap. It's just a way to extend tmpfs size if physical memory is constrained. | 00:23 |

| timboy_ | Typh, how much memory do you have? | 00:46 |
| igie | EastDallas: Unable to mount location... grrr... | 00:47 |
| Typh | I know the difference between 32 and 64, I just never understood those identifiers on their own. | 00:47 |
| timboy_ | Typh, 32bit will work on all processors 64 will only work on 64 capable processor | 00:47 |

| khelvan | Hi, is there any linux equivalent to chkdsk that can handle NTFS without causing data loss? | 00:48 |
| ninggeng2 | sorry i have to ask this again, how do i get ubuntu to recognize a new network connection | 00:48 |
| DaZ | and using pae you can get much more. | 00:48 |
| legend2440 | lsdluna: not sure then. i've never tried working with asf files myself | 00:49 |
| timboy_ | ardchoil1e, it is possible to compile kernel to allow for 3+ but not as easy as 64 install | 00:49 |
| ardchoil1e | timboy_: Ah, good to know | 00:49 |
| wgrant | DaZ: But PAE doesn't normally help if you have 4GiB of RAM -- you should still lose the same amount of RAM between 3GiB and 4GiB. | 00:50 |

| legend2440 | lsdluna: maybe i used to download mms streams as wave files and then convert to mp3 so i could use them on my mp3 player. but its been a while since i've don any of that | 00:52 |
| `mOOse` | ubuntu - turn your machine completely off and then cold reboot - see if it works then | 00:52 |
| EastDallas | igie: open your smb.conf again, and change it from wins support = yes to wins support = true | 00:53 |
| lsdluna | legend2440: it is safe to assume that with lame installed, and the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed I have the necessary tools and codecs right? Which means I'm just doing something wrong or missing at my end? | 00:53 |

| daftykins | ifconfig -a | 00:58 |
| steven_Laptop | sorry | 00:58 |

| lstarnes | steven_Laptop: it is installed by default in the desktop versions of ubuntu | 00:58 |
| daftykins | "cat /etc/resolv.conf" is a good way of checking both static and dynamic DNS server IPs | 00:58 |
| lstarnes | steven_Laptop: if it isn't installed for you, install the xserver-xorg package usign apt-get | 00:58 |
| legend2440 | lsdluna: well you could try installing Audacity and open the wave file with that and then choose Save As and choose mp3 format | 00:58 |

For DNS you should be able to get the addresses from your router. Just enter them both separated by a comma. Sometimes you can just enter your router's IP for the DNS. Depends on the router | 01:18 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: what's the IP on the comp you're on now then? | 01:18 |
| colemickens | daftykins, Windows 7 boots fine (and without GRUB) when I restart my computer. When I try to load parallels and have it boot from the bootcamp partition, it acts like its going to boot GRUB, which I don't understand. | 01:18 |
| newser | !multitouchpad | 01:18 |
| colemickens | daftykins, I'm shocked to be honest. I think I'm going to remake the VM, but I can't imagine that its just pulling that out of no where | 01:19 |
| kemuffkamelen | In ubuntu, what is the standard procedure to get a mouse to work in CLI? | 01:19 |
| ninggeng | daftykins: one i'm on is 192.168.0.27 sitting on the same switch | 01:19 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 01:19 |
| aman | Hi | 01:19 |
| EastDallas | Igie: The IP address should be 192.168.1.50, not a TWO. | 01:20 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: try "sudo route del net 192.168.122.0 netmask 255.255.255.0" | 01:20 |
| aman | Sorry I'm in rush and in deep need for help | 01:20 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: did that complete ok? should delete that first entry route -n gives | 01:20 |
| EastDallas | Igie: I hope that's not too confusing | 01:20 |
| LP | anyone knows how to disable IPv6 DNS queries in a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 ? (something like "no-ipv6" in /etc/resolv.conf ?!!) | 01:20 |
| a | aman: what's the prob ? | 01:20 |
| seizui | Guh... this is a bit aggrivating. | 01:20 |

| aman | I just want to enable the mic | 01:21 |
| daftykins | er try typing it as -net | 01:21 |
| seizui | I read through the problem. Unfortunately, still haven't figured out how to fix grub2 from freezing on me. | 01:21 |
| aman | I want to listen to my voice while using the mic | 01:21 |

| seizui | Err.. through the grub2 webpage. | 01:21 |

| narselon | I need help with applying gtk themes. When I try to enable them only the color scheme seems to apply except in root applications, which are fully themed. I know why the opposite would happen but I have no clue why only root applications work. | 01:21 |
| nickzxcv | so, I have been able to boot the ubuntu installer in xen 3.4.1, but it doesn't include the xen-netfront module so there is no network interface | 01:22 |
| aman | the mic works fine and I can use the sound recorder fine | 01:22 |
| nickzxcv | using http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ | 01:22 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: cool, now do "sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.x netmask 255.255.255.0" where "x" is an IP you're not already using on the network | 01:22 |

| daftykins | ninggeng: then do "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.x" where x is the IP of your gateway to the Internet, so the router IP | 01:22 |
| seizui | I can only get -around- the log in problem, but trying to get into Ubuntu is still longer than it should be. | 01:22 |
| Pedrolito | I did sudo modprobe i810, and it seems to work | 01:22 |
| nickzxcv | is there an ubuntu installer that works with xen or should I just use debootstrap? | 01:22 |
| daftykins | Pedrolito: cool :) | 01:23 |
| Pedrolito | daftykins, but, I thought the driver for my chipset was supposed to be the intel one | 01:23 |
| daftykins | i810 means intel 810 chipset | 01:23 |
| Pedrolito | oh ok | 01:24 |

| Pedrolito | daftykins, that did not work. The screen flickered a few times, and then I went back to the same situation | 01:30 |
| tbrock_ | however, i installed it, ran apt-get update/upgrade and installed nvidia drivers, now xbmc only starts when i type startx | 01:30 |
| evon | the drive i am trying to access is an ubuntu machine | 01:30 |
| tbrock_ | it use to start automatically | 01:30 |
| evon | i set the permissions and shared the drive through nautilus but my other computer can't see it | 01:30 |
| evon | can anyone help? | 01:30 |
| tbrock_ | now it just has a black screen or console | 01:30 |
| daftykins | Pedrolito: ok maybe there's a more suitable driver for your graphics, whatever it is | 01:31 |
| tbrock_ | any ideas? | 01:31 |
| ninggeng | daftykins: ahaha sorry i'm not experienced enough to know the difference | 01:31 |

| tbrock_ | no booting works | 01:31 |
| tbrock_ | everything is fine | 01:31 |
| gimpy5301 | Anyone know why a machine would prompt for a password for SSH when it should use a key, but only when it tries to SSH to itself? SSH to other machines works fine and authorized_keys is correct. It just prompts for a password when SSHing to itself. | 01:32 |
| tbrock_ | except for the fact that xbmc won't start on boot | 01:32 |
| tbrock_ | i can't figure out why | 01:32 |

| df00zzzz | What package do I have to install for that | 01:32 |
| daftykins | tbrock_: give me one second | 01:32 |
| tbrock_ | ok | 01:32 |
| ninggeng | daftykins: sudo route -add default gw xxxxx gives "invalid option -- 'a' , 'd', 'd' | 01:32 |
| tbrock_ | is it possible that the x server that gets started on boot is different than the one that starts when i type startx | 01:32 |
| dsnyders | Pedrolito, It's possible for an automatic update to foul up things. | 01:32 |
| tbrock_ | ? | 01:33 |
| a | tbrock_: recover a xorg conf backup ? | 01:33 |

| EastDallas | igie: enter this command to get your dns ips: cat /etc/resolv.conf | 01:41 |
| berrybarry | EastDallas thats all simple | 01:41 |
| EastDallas | berrybarry: he just needs static ips so host names will resolve correctly on the local network. | 01:42 |
| nexcez | net | 01:42 |
| berrybarry | EastDallas whats services is he looking to install? | 01:43 |

| gregb | Hi everybody. I need to understand USB device permissions for 9.10. Any links? | 01:44 |
| x_ | how can i add vpn connection | 01:44 |
| daftykins | x_: you need to install a VPN provider app, do "apt-cache search vpn" for plugins to network manager | 01:44 |
| ninggeng | daftykins: YES!! ping google success | 01:44 |
| EastDallas | berrybarry: so he just added the info to his hosts files, and I thought static ips was probably the safest way to make sure he didn't have to do it again. | 01:44 |
| daftykins | x_: "network-manager-openvpn" is an example package | 01:45 |
| berrybarry | EastDallas I would help him make a ftp.... so easy :) | 01:45 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: cool :) sorry i went such a long way about it, pretty tired here XD | 01:45 |

| igie | EastDallas: i got disconnected from the net all together | 01:46 |
| ninggeng | now i'm wishing i had GUI | 01:46 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: ah ok cool, because specifying an interface in the interfaces file with a desktop prevents network manager working, just something worth bearing in mind | 01:46 |
| berrybarry | EastDallas is this samba your trying to do? | 01:46 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ;) | 01:46 |

| ubuntu__1 | Anyone? | 01:47 |
| seizui | Reading through these files, I am still not coming up with any way to -fix- the problem. | 01:47 |

| EastDallas | igie the mask is 255.255.255.0 | 01:48 |
| seizui | And I am getting the feeling that I may have to downgrade it to 9.08. | 01:48 |
| EastDallas | igie: the gateway is your router's ip address (probably 192.168.1.1) | 01:48 |
| igie | EastDallas: my Static DNS1: in the router is 192.168.1.100 | 01:48 |
| igie | does that matter? | 01:48 |
| ninggeng | daftykins: is ubuntu-desktop really a package? | 01:49 |

| igie | 192.168.1.1 | 01:49 |
| soopos | I have Apache running. What does it mean that I do not have the file /var/run/httpd.pid? | 01:49 |
| daftykins | ninggeng: yeah it's a meta package that installs everything needed for the desktop. if i were you i'd run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" first though | 01:49 |
| EastDallas | igie: ok, that's your gateway | 01:49 |
| igie | this machine i'm on now is .1.100 | 01:49 |

| helluvaCSmajor | how do i make a user account with the proper priveliges? | 01:51 |
| igie | EastDallas: yes they are all above 100 | 01:51 |

| rubin110 | Are you saying I should install Ubuntu from a live session? | 02:49 |
| LGN | worth a shot | 02:49 |
| dsnyders | rubin110, You wanted to install from a flash drive, didn't you? | 02:49 |
| rubin110 | dsnyders: No. | 02:49 |
| LGN | do u want to use the flash drive to USE ubuntu or INSTALL ubuntu? | 02:50 |
| rubin110 | I wanted a tiny image to boot off of that'll partition/format the drive and setup a network interface, then have the installer grab the rest of the wanted packages from the repo. | 02:50 |
| eric_2 | LGN: no i want to use it as a live usb | 02:50 |

| eNVy` | heyias, looking at the /etc/apt/sources.list config file i notice that the karmic-security mirror was set to use security.ubuntu.com rather than au.archive.ubuntu.com (ie, a local mirror) - is there any particular reason for this? | 02:53 |
| eric_2 | someone i am trying to create a live usb w/ ubuntu 9.10 the live usb was supposed to contain a distro of nubuntu 2gb flash drive | 02:53 |

| cactusfrog | firefox has addblock | 02:58 |
| sebsebseb | LGN: also Chrome right, but there's Chromeium as the open source version :) which Chrome is actsualley based on | 02:58 |

| dfeuer | Still trying to figure out how the dist upgrade process works. Does it preserve edited config files like the normal package upgrade, or upgrade those? | 03:03 |
| n8tuser | !clone | dfeuer | 03:03 |
| ubottu | dfeuer: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 03:03 |
| dfeuer | n8tuser, I was referring to files in /etc, et al. | 03:04 |
| dfeuer | I would prefer /not/ to preserve edits, because the reasons for some/most/all of those edits have gone away with distribution changes, | 03:05 |
| dfeuer | and I don't think I can find all the specific files I edited. | 03:05 |

| Johnny_buffalo | i need help unmounting my drive | 03:09 |
| iceroot | Johnny_buffalo: sudo umount "destination" | 03:09 |
| n8tuser | dfeuer-> not to the minute details, | 03:09 |
| jtaji | dfeuer: during upgrade, you will be asked whether you want to keep your version, or install the package maintainers version, (or inspect the differences) | 03:09 |
| shashike | hello all!!!! | 03:09 |
| dfeuer | jtaji, thank you much. That sounds ideal, but I couldn't find docs saying so. | 03:10 |
| shashike | i just installed AVG and now i cant find out where it is!!! | 03:10 |
| shashike | can some one kindly help me?? | 03:10 |
| dfeuer | shashike, check the file list? | 03:10 |
| n8tuser | dfeuer-> btw, you will find that doing a dist upgrade is problematic, preferable to do a fresh install | 03:10 |
| dfeuer | Oh? dist upgrades tend to fail? | 03:10 |
| Scott__ | shashike why are u installing avg | 03:10 |
| shashike | cozz i am paranoid of viruses!! | 03:11 |
| lstarnes | shashike: you appear to be using two spaces instead of one | 03:11 |
| Scott__ | and avclam is better | 03:11 |
| dfeuer | Maybe he's running an email server? | 03:11 |
| shashike | no | 03:11 |
| shashike | no | 03:11 |
| dfeuer | Maybe she's running an email server? | 03:11 |
| Scott__ | even if u ran an email server u dont run avg | 03:11 |
| n8tuser | dfeuer-> its problematic, people complain of things not working correctly after a dist upgrade, but a fresh install is much easier | 03:11 |
| shashike | i am not , but i came from windows u know | 03:11 |
| lstarnes | shashike: there are no major viruses that affect linux | 03:11 |
| jtaji | dfeuer: I don't find upgrades problematic at all, sure there are always regressions | 03:11 |
| turkeyshoot | if i have a partition with ubuntu on it, and i just want to boot into it once more, can i use a ubuntu live cd to do that? | 03:11 |
| jtaji | and if you hang in here you will see fails from every upgrade, but mostly it works | 03:12 |
| shashike | well i know windows viruses dont work on ubuntu | 03:12 |
| lstarnes | shashike: there are rootkits, but those are rarer than viruses are on windows and much easier to detect and stop. There are tools such as chkrootkit and rkhunter for detecting rootkits | 03:12 |
| iceroot | shashike: there are no viruses so dont need a scanner. just need a scanner if using mail-server for windows-client | 03:12 |
| jtaji | shashike: then you are wasting your time with a windows virus scanner in linux | 03:12 |
| dfeuer | You will see fails from every upgrade? You mean the standard dependency failures? | 03:12 |
| Voss | shash, that would be pretty amazing if one did ;-) | 03:12 |
| ZenGuy3111 | is there a gui like program to edit the hosts file ...i edited mine on windows using hostsman(i came with several hosts files and updates) | 03:12 |
| Scott__ | exactly linux scans windows for virus | 03:13 |
| shashike | but i have windows 7 and mac OSX on my mac | 03:13 |
| jtaji | dfeuer: no I mean when you look at the thousands of people that come through here, there will be a few with problems | 03:13 |
| iceroot | shashike: for linux you dont need a scanner | 03:13 |

| whileimhere | hi. I recently removed a bunch of apps that as it turns out I never ever use. Do I need to do a manual purge of the hidden folders or is there some way that synaptic or aptitude can do this as well? | 03:14 |

| shashike | i have 4gigs of ram | 03:14 |
| Scott__ | then u need to run 64bit | 03:14 |
| dfeuer | whileimhere, what is a hidden folder? | 03:14 |
| iceroot | shashike: then use 64bit version | 03:14 |
| shashike | what about compatibility>> | 03:14 |
| DaZ | dfeuer: ~/.something | 03:14 |
| iceroot | shashike: called amd64, even if using intel | 03:14 |
| dfeuer | Oh, those aren't hidden... | 03:14 |
| whileimhere | dfeuer any folder that has a . in front of it I guess. | 03:15 |
| DaZ | yes they are [; | 03:15 |
| Scott__ | shashike u sound like a real noob | 03:15 |

| === _zZz_4n531_zZz_ is now known as an531 | ||

| dfeuer | I could be wrong, whileimhere, but for an admin to delete users' config files would be rather irresponsible, and such behavior is /presumably/ not specially supported by synaptic. | 03:16 |

| Typh | hmmm, how can I launch ubuntu software centre from terminal? | 03:17 |
| kazagistar | shashike: the only time there are compatibility challenges with 64bit are flash and a very few rare programs... that said, performance gains are not that great for 64bit, overall | 03:17 |
| DaZ | iceroot: i think he meant linux :f | 03:17 |
| Scott__ | brianherman has some brains use google instead | 03:17 |
| shashike | is 32bit more stable than 64bit?? | 03:17 |

| iceroot | DaZ: maybe :) | 03:17 |
| iceroot | shashike: both are stable | 03:17 |
| DaZ | or at least it's the only way it makes any sense | 03:17 |
| jtaji | Typh: software-center & | 03:17 |
| iceroot | shashike: no differences | 03:17 |
| shashike | pls pardon me if i am asking stupid questions, coz i am new to ubuntu | 03:17 |
| iceroot | shashike: no worry about that | 03:18 |
| jtaji | Typh: run it from the terminal, and it will tell you how to install it if it's not already | 03:18 |

| iceroot | Typh: if you are on cli, you dont want to use ubuntu software center, you want to use apt-get | 03:19 |
| jtaji | Typh: I guess you don't have command-not-found installed, the package is also named software-center | 03:19 |

| Guest87910 | why guest? | 03:20 |

| DaZ | Roasted: it's linux | 03:21 |
| EastDallas | typh 'sudo apt-get install software-center' | 03:21 |

| Roasted | daz - yes. thank you for that. But Im already on linux. Im looking for a video editing program. | 03:21 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: maybe but not always | 03:21 |
| DaZ | Roasted: it's like looking for penguins in africa | 03:21 |
| Younder | Roasted, well you have a alpha channed and Cairo can set the opaquety. Start with a solic fill and full transparency and pradually set it to full opaquity. | 03:21 |
| DaZ | i wish you luck tho [; | 03:21 |
| Younder | gradually | 03:22 |
| Roasted | daz - I always hear great things about the video and audio editors in linux. So far, the audio side is true. Now Im playing with the video side. | 03:22 |
| kazagistar | iceroot: for example, apt-get is a lot slower if you have never used it before, or just want to browse some category of software for things you might like | 03:22 |
| dsnyders | Roasted, have you tried cinelerra? | 03:22 |
| shashike | does ubuntu slow down over time?? | 03:22 |
| Roasted | dsnyders - I have not. Is it in the repos? | 03:22 |

| DaZ | shashike: no | 03:22 |
| Roasted | shashike - not in my experience. | 03:22 |
| dsnyders | Roasted, not sure. I think it is. | 03:22 |
| Roasted | shashike - *buntu user (Kubuntu and Ubuntu both) of 5 years here. | 03:22 |

| kcj1993 | Quick question: Can I use remote desktop while the other machine I want to connect to is in use? | 03:23 |
| dfeuer | shashike, it depends on how well you load down your RAM. I tend to let Firefox balloon to 60-160 open tabs, including Flash video, so if I let that go long enough, things can get bad enough after a couple months that I need a reboot. | 03:23 |
| lstarnes | kazagistar: in fact, it might be faster | 03:23 |
| LizardK|ng | DaZ, ok, gnome has gconf | 03:24 |
| iceroot | kazagistar: both must use something like update but the gui is doing that at the background you dont see it | 03:24 |
| zomGreg_ | 60-160 open tabs? | 03:24 |
| DaZ | shashike: it's not | 03:24 |

| gimpy5301 | How can you stand that many open tabs? I need multiple browsers | 03:25 |

| lstarnes | kcj1993: we see your question. Please ba patient while somebody tries to dsicover an answer | 03:25 |

| Some_Person | I've got sound issues. VLC recording my audio input is very choppy. Several games (supertux, supertuxkart, etc) have sound that goes into buzzing | 03:34 |
| mezquitale | Some_Person, sounds like you have pulse audio issues | 03:34 |
| dsnyders | kcj1993, I'm unable to help. I've only done remote stuff once, using VNC. and I followed a howto to do it. That was over a year ago. | 03:34 |
| === an531 is now known as _zZz_4n531_zZz_ | ||

| Some_Person | mezquitale: So what can I do about it? PulseAudio is too tightly integrated in Karmic to get rid of it (I'd have no panel control) | 03:35 |

| jtaji | evon: I'd just install openssh-server on both machines so I can go both ways | 03:37 |

| bgoldsmith | newbie question regarding grub2 on karmic server RAID 1 array: if /dev/sdb fails, the system boots with the array in degraded mode. Even if grub-install is used to install grub to /dev/sdb, in case of /dev/sda failure, grub cannot bring up the array as it cant seem to find the root, so ... I found what I need to do on http://riseuplabs.org/grimoire/storage/software-raid/ ... however that is for legacy grub. | 03:41 |
| bigdavjoker | need help making windows partition copied from old hard drive bootable don't have a Vista install disc handy | 03:41 |

| aviarorman78 | ok give me a moment . | 03:41 |
| soopos | DaZ: This makes some of my terminal applicatios work wrongly such as SageMath | 03:41 |
| bgoldsmith | could someone please point me to the correct steps to follow for installing grub2 to /dev/sdb so that even if /dev/sda fails, the system still boots up | 03:41 |

| soopos | DaZ: I neiher. I do not know why my Ubuntu 9.10 is on that mode | 03:43 |
| jtaji | aviarorman78: you probably want libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repository, which isn't included in ubuntu-restricted-extras | 03:43 |
| bgoldsmith | RenatoSilva: use dos2unix | 03:43 |
| gimpy5301 | renato: dos2unix | 03:43 |
| jtaji | !medibuntu | aviarorman78 | 03:43 |
| ubottu | aviarorman78: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 03:43 |
| evon | jtaji: thanks i got it now. do i really have to do this just to access the files? I can't just double click on an icon or something? | 03:43 |
| RenatoSilva | bgoldsmith: have to install? | 03:43 |
| bgoldsmith | yes | 03:43 |
| jtaji | evon: well when you go to Connect to Server, click Add bookmark, then an icon will always be in Places | 03:44 |
| bgoldsmith | just type dos2unix and you'll get the command for installing | 03:44 |
| aviarorman78 | yes it shows the disk. kazagistar | 03:44 |
| bigdavjoker | mezquitale, I'm running dual boot with ubuntu as my primary OS was hoping there might be a linux tool to help fix the problem was able to copy partitions using gparted but now only the ubuntu partition will boot windows will not | 03:44 |
| jtaji | evon: and you won't have to type the info again | 03:44 |
| plattypus1 | Okay... so I've looked over fora, bug lists, and the google, and none of them have helped. I've got a fresh install of Karmic which hangs on boot (same on LiveCD- install via alt. CD worked fine), always at the "Starting AppArmor profiles" step. | 03:44 |
| RenatoSilva | bgoldsmith: will install just for that then remove :P thanks | 03:44 |
| bgoldsmith | anyone here with RAID 1 + grub 2 experience on karmic server ? | 03:45 |
| aviarorman78 | ubuntu restricted extras didnt help. | 03:45 |
| evon | jtaji: ok done. thanks a lot. much appreciated | 03:45 |
| bgoldsmith | RenatoSilva: np | 03:45 |
| kazagistar | aviarorman78: try getting Medibuntu working then | 03:45 |
| jtaji | bgoldsmith: you might also try in #ubuntu-server | 03:45 |
| bgoldsmith | okay thanks jtaji :) | 03:45 |
| mezquitale | bigdavjoker, that is a funky way of doing things, it can be done but it will require to reinstall grub | 03:46 |
| bastid_raZor | aviarorman78: do as jtaji suggested. follow the link for medibuntu. | 03:47 |
| hamachi | I just installed 8.04 LTS, good version to stick with? | 03:47 |
| Leftmost | I created an Ubuntu Netbook Remix USB stick with the USB Startup Creator. I'm trying to install it on an EeePC, but it won't boot. "Removable Dev." is selected as the first boot device in the BIOS. Any ideas? | 03:48 |
| KB1JWQ | Leftmost: What happens when you try it? | 03:48 |
| Some_Person | I want to find whoever chose to tightly integrate PulseAudio in karmic and kick them in the @$$ | 03:48 |
| KB1JWQ | YOu may not have rendered it bootable. | 03:48 |
| bastid_raZor | hamachi: for stability yes. | 03:48 |
| hamachi | bastid: excellent | 03:48 |
| Leftmost | KB1JWQ, it just boots into Xandros. Doing a cfdisk on the stick shows the boot flag is enabled. | 03:49 |
| bigdavjoker | mezquitale, yes I've got grub reinstalled and it sees the windows partition but when I try and boot into it all I get is a blinking cursor | 03:49 |
| kazagistar | hamachi: if you want something to stick with, you could wait until 10.4LTS comes out, then upgrade to that... that will be supported until 2015 | 03:49 |
| plattypus1 | So... anyone know anything about the Karmic boot process hanging because of AppArmor? | 03:49 |
| Leftmost | Oh, and it doesn't show up in the boot devices menu when I hit Esc at the Eee BIOS. | 03:49 |
| Leftmost | Err, during POST. | 03:50 |
| hamachi | kazagistar: yes that's what I was planning on doing | 03:50 |
| mezquitale | bigdavjoker, so you mean you copied the windows installation to your hard drive and never tested windows alone to see if it could boot? | 03:50 |
| aviarorman78 | ok i will follow the metibuntu link. | 03:50 |
| bastid_raZor | kazagistar: once Lucid comes out he'll be able to upgrade directly to it from 8.04.. LTS to LTS and skip all the versions in between. | 03:50 |
| hamachi | bastid: thats perfect.. I got a question, I havent set up my wireless yet on this... where can I get a list of the networks it sees? | 03:51 |
| Leftmost | hamachi, GUI or commandline? | 03:52 |
| bigdavjoker | mezquitale, laptop with HD going bad installed new HD used Gparted to copy partions from old HD in an external enclousre to new HD in laptop used liveCD to install grub | 03:52 |

I guess it has to do with the difrent file systems but is there way i can get around it? | 03:52 |
| Leftmost | hamachi, NetworkManager should be one of the icons in the upper-right. Perhaps click a couple of them, see if they bring up a list of networks. | 03:53 |
| kazagistar | cactusfrog: perhaps it is mounted read-only? | 03:53 |
| cactusfrog | ok then how do i make it so its not read only? | 03:53 |
| hamachi | leftmost: there's a network icon, but it doesnt give me a list of networks, and my wireless device is active | 03:54 |
| cactusfrog | how could i find out if its mounted read only? | 03:54 |

| cactusfrog | kazagistar: how can i tell if its not read only and if it is how can i change it so that its not? | 03:55 |
| Leftmost | hamachi, are you certain the drivers for the card are installed? | 03:55 |
| mezquitale | bigdavjoker, if the old hard drive was failing I recommend to just reinstall a fresh copy of windows, I dont know if copying with gparted would work, copying the partition with ghost or partition magic would do it but you would need to know what youre doing, in either case, copying partitions from a hard drive going bad can lead to corrupt data, i would not do it | 03:55 |
| sahilsk | wiki wiki, | 03:55 |
| hamachi | leftmost: well the OS knows I have a wireless card, so I'm assuming yes.. Is there a way to check? | 03:55 |
| aviarorman78 | is there an other way to get this done. im a linux noob that metibuntu tutorial is no help to me. | 03:55 |
| Leftmost | hamachi, where does it say it knows you have a card ? (That may be all the answer necessary.) | 03:56 |
| cactusfrog | how do i talk to a cetrain person like do i press tab or what (i am using pidgen) | 03:57 |
| jtaji | aviarorman78: all you got to do is run that long command, right under "Adding the Repository", in a terminal | 03:57 |
| lstarnes | cactusfrog: type their nick manually | 03:57 |
| mezquitale | cactusfrog, use "!tab" | 03:57 |
| hamachi | leftmost: when I click on the network icon and go to manual configuation, it shows all my devices: lan, wireless and 56k, and under wireless it says "roaming mode enabled" | 03:57 |
| lstarnes | cactusfrog: or type the first couple letters then press the tab key | 03:57 |
| Leftmost | Ahh. Hmm. | 03:57 |
| digitalaxis | lstarnes, im not sure that works on pidgin | 03:57 |
| lstarnes | digitalaxis: it should | 03:57 |
| jtaji | aviarorman78: best way to do that is to select it in your web browser, then middle-click in the terminal to paste it | 03:58 |
| cactusfrog | ok thats what i thought doesn't work with pidgen i'll install xchat | 03:58 |

| aqwq | why firefox give me bus error | 04:40 |
| aqwq | and wht is bus error | 04:40 |
| aqwq | arora is 40 mg :S | 04:40 |
| d9500 | aqwq, from what i've seen, arora is a lot like firfox but 1) based on webkit instead of gecko, 2) much faster to launch, and 3) comes with flash blocking (maybe other script blocking too?) built in, instead of as a third party add-on | 04:41 |
| paddy_melon | equs, thank you very much | 04:41 |

| aqwq | then i try to start it from trimnal its says bus error | 04:44 |
| lstarnes | aqwq: try moving ~/.mozilla/ to another location or deleting it | 04:44 |
| Chewie[] | aqwq: rename .firefox and see if it changes.. if it does, it's a profile problem, most likely an extension problem. | 04:44 |
| Chewie[] | aqwq: also, have you restarted X since this started happening? | 04:45 |
| aqwq | i back from work i trun on my computer then x wont start | 04:45 |
| Chewie[] | lstarnes is correct, ~/.mozilla, not what i said. | 04:45 |

| paddy_melon | ok thanks | 04:50 |
| skitzo | well i just switched from the 32 bit version of ubuntu to the x64 to take advantage of my processer/memory etc.. and was just wondering before i go stuffing it all up what do i need to know as far as installing applications etc.. im thinking flash etc thats still only 32bit (i think) does the software centre recognise my os as x64? and will it source 64bit apps within it? | 04:50 |
| baltadt | need help with vnc, cant see windows but can see desktop | 04:51 |
| jtaji | skitzo: it still installs the 32-bit flash | 04:51 |
| jtaji | skitzo: works fine here | 04:51 |
| jtaji | skitzo: but yeah basically everything else will be 64-bit | 04:52 |
| leetom | baltadt: have you installed vncserver | 04:53 |
| ajt1 | is there a way to restore / repair an ubuntu user profile? i turned on my netbook the other day and now the top bar is all reset to default. Also, I cant run a lot of programs. | 04:53 |
| skitzo | jtaji, sweet.. so within the software center it will have all x64 software if available.. (so i dont need to jump online and go source it out myself) | 04:53 |
| baltadt | i don't think so | 04:53 |
| baltadt | leetom, sudo apt-get install vncserver? | 04:54 |
| leetom | baltadt: or vnc4server | 04:54 |
| baltadt | on server or remote | 04:54 |
| d9500 | skitzo, don't use the flash from the repos, either through app center or synaptic. it's 32-bit, and still requires nsplugin wrapper, etc. use the 64-bit flash 10.0.34.42 from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.42.34.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz | 04:54 |
| leetom | baltadt: on server | 04:54 |

| whammo | I notice I don't have soundjuicer and it's not in the repos. can anybody recommend a good substitute? | 04:55 |

| kcj1993 | where is System → Administration → Services in 9.10 | 05:02 |
| d9500 | skitzo, don't use synaptic or dpkg. it's not a .deb file. it should be a tar.gz file. just open the directory in nautilus where you downloaded it to, then right-click on the tar.gz package and choose "extract here." it will extract a file called libflashplayer.so. | 05:02 |
| baltadt | leetom: when i log in now there is no desktop | 05:02 |
| skitzo | d9500, all good, sorry still a newbie aye lol windows has warped my fragile little mind ahaha | 05:03 |
| d9500 | skitzo, then close firefox and any other browsers, open your home folder in nautilus, hit ctrl+h to show hidden directories, open the .mozilla directory, and create a directory inside it called "plugins" (no quotes.) copy libflashplayer.so to that directory, open firefox and you should have the flashplugin instealled now. | 05:03 |

| DaskreeCh | Tiders: Gnome is the Desktop and princples around it | 05:08 |
| d9500 | skitzo, you're not using flashblock or noscript addons in firefox, are you? | 05:08 |
| DaskreeCh | GDM is the login screen | 05:08 |
| DaskreeCh | Or the program that gives you the login screen | 05:08 |

| Tiders | DaskreeCh, Isnt GDE just an acronym for Gnome Desktop Environment? | 05:09 |

In #kubuntu, we can't figure it out. Any thoughts? | 05:09 |
| skitzo | d9500, do i need to find a x64 version java to? | 05:09 |
| DaskreeCh | lstarnes: Right but it can hardly be considered GNome | 05:09 |
| mdeonte | How do I get my server to look like that | 05:09 |
| DaskreeCh | it's just the display manager | 05:09 |
| Tiders | DaskreeCh, Whats the difference between GDE and GDM then X_X | 05:10 |

| d9500 | skitzo, not that i can tell. i can use the 64-bit flash plugin fine on my machine w/ no java runtime environment installed. | 05:10 |
| baltadt | when I use 192.168.254.2:5901 is gives grey screen with 3 checked blocks | 05:10 |

| leetom | baltadt: have you closed the gnome on server? | 05:11 |
| Tiders | lstarnes Ive heard it said often | 05:11 |
| lstarnes | Tiders: there is no such thing as GDE. Gnome is always just "Gnome" or "GNOME" | 05:11 |

| baltadt | u mean the gui | 05:12 |
| Tiders | lstarnes, Ah.. Maybe just all the people I talk to use it as slang or something | 05:12 |
| DaskreeCh | alankila: That's a silly question in that context | 05:12 |
| leetom | baltadt: yea | 05:12 |
| lstarnes | Tiders: GDM just handles logging in, starting the rest of Gnome or another desktop environment, and restarting X when it shuts off | 05:12 |
| DaskreeCh | Tiders: Or ignorance :) | 05:12 |
| d9500 | skitzo, also, make sure you do not have any existing flash player (32-bit) or gnash (open source flash player) instealled. | 05:12 |
| baltadt | no how do I do that | 05:12 |
| lstarnes | Tiders: KDM does the same thing, but it is part of KDE, not Gnome | 05:12 |
| d9500 | installed* | 05:12 |
| leetom | baltadt: logout, then press ctrl+alt+F1, login, then vnc4server | 05:13 |
| chilli0 | Hi i need some help, Im on the live cd atm and i have 30gig of unalocated space . How can i make another partion bigger ? | 05:14 |
| skitzo | d9500, i'll check | 05:14 |
| DaskreeCh | Does anyone have any insight as to why do-release-upgrade would fail with no new release found on Jaunty at this time ? | 05:14 |
| baltadt | leetom: how to re enable gui | 05:15 |
| DaskreeCh | chilli0: gparted | 05:15 |
| dukz | i'm having trouble with network manager. What should a route look like? | 05:15 |
| Razer | does anyone use xmonad? | 05:15 |
| chilli0 | DaskreeCh: Im on gparted . | 05:15 |
| vajorie | chilli0: make sure you have back ups though | 05:15 |
| DaskreeCh | chilli0: Then you resize as you need to then | 05:15 |
| leetom | baltadt: you cant login on remote after you enabled gui | 05:16 |
| chilli0 | Must i make the unallocated ext3 ? | 05:16 |
| skitzo | d9500, just checked no other flash installed, software centres giving me the option to install adobe flash.. wont this be the x64 version? | 05:16 |
| alankila | dukz: a declaration of gateway address for reaching certain network or host? | 05:16 |
| baltadt | but if I wanted to | 05:16 |
| dukz | alankila: hehe wait... im putting mine on pastebin | 05:16 |
| leetom | baltadt: press ctrl+alt+F7 you'll see gdm | 05:16 |
| sontek | Hey, I have a gnome menu that doesn't have shutdown/reboot in it, I looked in edit menus and didn't see a way to enable it | 05:17 |
| d9500 | skitzo, no. the x64 flash player is still considered "prerelease" software, so it's not in the repos yet, and software center/synaptic pull from the repos. | 05:17 |
| sontek | you guys have any idea? =) | 05:17 |
| DaskreeCh | chilli0: make it what ever you please | 05:17 |
| ardchoil1e | sontek: Look in your user menu over on the right | 05:17 |
| Razer | chilli0: use ext4 | 05:17 |
| skitzo | d9500, :( i dunno then i did what ya said | 05:17 |
| xpololz | Hi, i'm new to ubuntu and i need to get gforth 0.7.0 installed can anyone help me? pm please :) | 05:17 |
| sontek | ardchoil1e: I want the extra screenspace so I got rid of that | 05:17 |
| baltadt | leetom: ok i'm logged in now. but it is terminal. is there a way to see the gui remotly? | 05:17 |
| === adam is now known as Guest46551 | ||
| ardchoil1e | sontek: then the shutdown/reboot options should have automatically been added to your standard menu | 05:18 |
| Zeppelin | Hi | 05:19 |
| Zeppelin | I downloaded WhatPulse from the website | 05:19 |
| vajorie | sontek: (too obvious, sorry) did you look under "System"? | 05:19 |
| Zeppelin | i open the whatpulse program by opening the whatpulse file in ~/Desktop/32bit/ | 05:19 |
| Zeppelin | bu.. | 05:19 |
| Zeppelin | but.. | 05:19 |
| Zeppelin | i want whatpulse to show up under the applications menu, i don't know how to do this | 05:19 |
| leetom | baltadt: terminal? gnome should run ... | 05:19 |
| d9500 | skitzo, open firefox and then, on the menu bar, click on "tools" and then "add-ons." when the add-ons window opens, click "plugins." you should see "Shockwave Flash. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42" there. do you? | 05:20 |
| baltadt | leetom: i have grey background with the 3 boxes and a terminal window in front | 05:20 |
| Catty | Greetings... new install of ubuntu 9.04 (couldnt install 9.10 for some reason all the .ISOs I d/l'ed didn't seem to work..)... I can't get online with this base install though.. need to be able to make (?) ad-hoc wireless connections... which software packages might I be able to download to put on a cd or usb stick to transfer to the computer (need to d/l it on windows, so no easy apt-get here..) thanks... | 05:21 |
| skitzo | d9500, no | 05:21 |
| leetom | baltadt: that's when i login gnome on server | 05:21 |
| leetom | baltadt: you login on another computer? | 05:22 |
| cb1147 | I just installed Ubuntu, but I did not install the boot loader, because I am not the only person who uses the system and I do not want to confuse them. Is it possible to boot from the installation disc? | 05:22 |
| d9500 | skitzo, then either one of two things is happening. the libflashplayer.so is not in the correct directory/not being detected by firefox, or, less likely, you're not running an x64 system. | 05:22 |
| chilli0 | DaskreeCh: Erm | 05:22 |
| baltadt | yes when I log in on remote computer with Remote desktop viewer | 05:22 |
| sircrazy | so i was looking at ubuntu, but is there a rolling release type like debian? where i like debian for that, but i cant find it | 05:22 |
| D9 | Need help installing intel video drivers. My got corrupted and I have a white screen when I try to load in to gnome. Even in safe mode. I can get into a terminal. Can somone help me down load the intel vid drivers via the terminal. they are in synaptic. Thanks. | 05:23 |
| chilli0 | It doesnt let me resize it | 05:23 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: You mean like debian unstable? | 05:23 |
| d9500 | skitzo, pm me and i'll go into more detailed instructions on how to do the install. | 05:23 |
| chilli0 | I hawe the unallocated and when i try to make the ext3 bigger it dont work | 05:23 |
| leetom | baltadt: what about the server? it runs with gui? | 05:23 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: you could try the development branch (ubuntu 10.04 is the current development version), but it is extremely likely to break and it is unsu[[prted | 05:23 |
| sircrazy | Some_Person: i mean like rolling release, where i install it, and i just keep adding updates | 05:23 |
| baltadt | leetom: yes it does | 05:23 |
| vishah | hello all, Im trying to find a list of security vulnerabilities for sendmail v8.13.1, for uppgrading purposes. | 05:23 |
| baltadt | leetom: do I need to log out on server? | 05:24 |
| leetom | baltadt: yeah | 05:24 |
| === _zZz_4n531_zZz_ is now known as an531 | ||
| baltadt | ok let me try that | 05:24 |
| lstarnes | vishah: ubuntu's packages are automatically updated to patch security vulnerabilities | 05:24 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: neither are rolling releases... you do dist-upgrades, which tend to create problems | 05:24 |
| sircrazy | is ubuntu all in numbers 9.04 and 9.10 etc, or is there a branch just for rolling release | 05:24 |
| dukz | hey guys. Help with network-manager. I seem to be having trouble with my route output whenver I use a certain IP | 05:24 |
| sircrazy | oh, i thought it was like debian though | 05:24 |
| baltadt | leetom: then local ip plus :5901?\ | 05:24 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: for rolling release, see arch linux | 05:24 |
| dukz | http://pastebin.com/m2eba9728 <==== this is the route output | 05:24 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: there is no such branch | 05:24 |
| sircrazy | darn | 05:25 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: debian isn't rolling release either | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | i like ubuntu style | 05:25 |
| D9 | Anyone know how to load the vid drivers from repositories via the terminal? | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | used 9.04 | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: some distributions only offer that kind of branch, like gentoo and arch | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | but i dont like this giant jump to 9.10 | 05:25 |
| vishah | lstarnes: yes but this is on a server, they want a list of vulnerabilities, because they are thinking of upgrading | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | seems so big | 05:25 |
| leetom | baltadt: maybe you have to run vnc4server in command another time | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | like if i dont reinstall i will have issue | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | vishah: if it's the ubuntu package, it should be patched automatically | 05:25 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: it goes by year.month | 05:25 |
| dukz | when i use a 192.168.10.50, the route goes crazy, I can ping internally, but can't get out of the network. But when I use a 192.168.10.60, everything seems to be fine. | 05:25 |
| lstarnes | vishah: although it will be patched, not upgraded to an upstream version | 05:25 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: 9.10 = 2009 september | 05:25 |
| sircrazy | right | 05:26 |
| sircrazy | no | 05:26 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: october sorry | 05:26 |
| lstarnes | vishah: most linux distributions patch packages for security issues | 05:26 |
| sircrazy | october | 05:26 |
| D9 | is this thing working? can you see this? | 05:26 |
| dukz | I didnt have this problem last week. and I need my ip to be 10.50 since i've already setup my NAT, etc. | 05:26 |
| sircrazy | lol | 05:26 |
| lstarnes | dukz: yes | 05:26 |
| FloodBot3 | sircrazy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:26 |
| lstarnes | dukz: oops, wrong person | 05:26 |
| lstarnes | D9: yes, it is working | 05:26 |
| D9 | Oh good. | 05:26 |
| dukz | any suggestions? | 05:26 |
| lstarnes | D9: I don't know an answer to your question though. Sorry. | 05:26 |
| D9 | :-) | 05:26 |
| d9500 | sircrazy, ubuntu (unfortunately IMO) doesn't have a rolling-release system. that said, you can use PPAs to make some of the major parts (kernel, firefox, openoffice even, I think) get frequent, even daily updates to the latest version. | 05:26 |
| alankila | dukz: what do you mean by "when I use 192.168.10.50". These are two different machines? | 05:26 |
| sircrazy | but i was thinking more like something where it doesnt have 9.10, just ubuntu base and i just upgrade every week or so and it stays with all the current stuff, like on debian, where its number 5, but its like rolling | 05:26 |
| sircrazy | ok, that stinks | 05:27 |
| D9 | lstarnes: so who is the rock star when it comes to vid drivers? | 05:27 |
| alankila | dukz: the problem with the .50 is that the default route points to localhost instead of 192.168.10.2. | 05:27 |
| lstarnes | D9: nobody in particular | 05:27 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: anyway, there are 3 branches of ubuntu: lts, stable, and development. lts has few long term releases. stable has 6 month releases. development is for development of the next stable version, and is pretty much unusable usually | 05:27 |
| dukz | alankila: same machine. I just edited the IP in network manager. | 05:27 |
| dukz | alankila: That's right. My default gw should be 192.168.10.2 (that's our firewall). | 05:27 |
| sircrazy | so long term release is kind of like rolling, because it lasts a long time? | 05:27 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: what you described is arch linux :) | 05:27 |
| alankila | dukz: aha. Hmm. I don't know why that would happen, though, but the gateway is wrong, maybe you can somehow force it correct. | 05:27 |
| baltadt | leetom: i am loged in on server but in terminal. still on remote puter | 05:28 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: No, it gets few updates. | 05:28 |
| sircrazy | i hear arch linux is real hard, that u have to do a LOT of manual stuff | 05:28 |
| alankila | dukz: oh wait, I said wrong way ... .60 is the one with localhost as gateway... | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: it's easier than gentoo | 05:28 |
| baltadt | leetom: is there a way to make gui show | 05:28 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: it's hard because it's a rolling release. | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: and it's only a bit harder than debian | 05:28 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: some operations are actually easier | 05:28 |
| sircrazy | really, well i saw they have new stuff | 05:28 |
| leetom | baltadt: try startx | 05:28 |
| sircrazy | i like that | 05:28 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: there's no "rolling release" for ubuntu like there is for debian (assuming you refer to unstable branch). | 05:28 |
| sircrazy | but i always told ubuntu is more stable | 05:28 |
| dukz | alankila: alankila, actually, it's the correct gateway. That's why I find it weird that when I set it to 10.60, it has a localhost gateway, but it can connect to the internet. but the one with 10.50 cannot | 05:29 |
| D9 | anyone know how to down load drivers in terminal? From the repositories. | 05:29 |
| baltadt | leetom: user not allthorized to run x server aborting | 05:29 |
| leetom | baltadt: then sudo startx? | 05:30 |
| alankila | dukz: I agree. It is the first time I see something like this -- I have no idea how your symptoms can happen. Linux should not be capable of routing the packets correctly when it sets itself as the gateway. | 05:30 |
| sircrazy | so can i make arch stable like ubuntu? | 05:30 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: I'd recommend sticking with the stable branch pretty much always for ubuntu. When the development branch gets to RC status it's pretty close to stable if not already, but you might as well wait the extra short time to be sure | 05:30 |
| fer | hola | 05:30 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: it's usually stable for me in virtual machines | 05:31 |
| === fer is now known as Guest69591 | ||
| sircrazy | virtual what? | 05:31 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: stable means having a system that is already well tested | 05:31 |
| dukz | alankila: yeah i know. it wasnt like this before, and i was wondering about it when i got here this mroning | 05:31 |
| dukz | ugh | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: machines | 05:31 |
| sircrazy | oh like vbox? | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: yes | 05:31 |
| Some_Person | sircrazy: If you do want/need more recent packages for a stable release there are unofficial repositories (often on launchpad ppa) | 05:31 |
| sircrazy | i should try that, can i like practice in that. | 05:31 |
| cb1147 | I'm wanting to install Ubuntu 9.10 alongside an existing Windows 7 installation, but I do not want Ubuntu's boot loader installed for various reasons. I simply want the machine to boot as if Ubuntu wasn't installed. Is it possible to manually boot Ubuntu from the installation CD? | 05:31 |
| sircrazy | i heard about ppa, but it seems ahrd | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: yes | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: ppas are relatively easy | 05:31 |
| sircrazy | hard. having to edit system files | 05:31 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: editing system files isn't always as hard as you think it is | 05:32 |
| sircrazy | oh | 05:32 |
| sircrazy | i should look it up | 05:32 |
| sircrazy | i heard u get new firefox that way | 05:32 |
| D9 | is it that microsoft is releasing MSLINUX 1.0 in febuary? | 05:32 |
| dukz | can't even traceroute | 05:32 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: as long as you pay attention to announcements related to updates, most rolling release systems can be kept stable easily | 05:32 |
| sircrazy | oh, does that comment refer to arch? | 05:33 |
| sircrazy | there is like so much to learn | 05:33 |
| sircrazy | i dont know where to begin, lol | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: or any other rolling release system | 05:33 |
| photobug21 | Hello :) | 05:33 |
| lstarnes | sircrazy: you can learn the basics of linux systems on an easier distribution like ubuntu | 05:33 |
| sircrazy | thank you for all of your knoweldge and tolerating me | 05:33 |
| D9 | hi photobug21 what do you need | 05:33 |
| DaskreeCh | lstarnes: or LFS! | 05:34 |
| lstarnes | DaskreeCh: that's more advanced though | 05:34 |

| xpololz | Hi, i'm new to ubuntu and i need to get gforth 0.7.0 installed can anyone help me? pm please :) | 05:35 |
| alankila | dukz: check out if iptables nat and normal chains are empty when the localhost gateway is in use. Maybe there's some super weird netfilter setup | 05:36 |
| photobug21 | Hi, just hanging out D9 thanks | 05:36 |
| photobug21 | brb | 05:36 |
| alankila | dukz: that's all I can think of | 05:36 |
| D9 | anyone know how to install vid driver from the repositorys. | 05:38 |
| lstarnes | !intel | D9 | 05:38 |
| ubottu | D9: Ubuntu 9.04 has a known regression for some Intel graphics support. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/IntelPerformance and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 for more information. | 05:38 |
| D9 | lstarnes, know regression.. what does that mean | 05:38 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: I think you might wanna rethink whether what you want is really a "rolling release" distro, or just some of the software that is quite up to date (eg, having firefox up to date instead of having all the system on the bleeding edge brand new packages). In ubuntu, it is really not that hard to jump from one long-term supported version to another every 3 year or so (called "LTS), while keeping some of the packages you wan | 05:38 |
| baltadt | leetom: great I don't have a terminal anymore. i tryed to start over and typed exit | 05:39 |
| lstarnes | D9: something becoming broken or downgrading in functionality | 05:39 |
| cb1147 | I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 alongside an existing Windows 7 installation, but I chose not to install Ubuntu's boot loader for various reasons. When I power on my computer, Windows 7 loads, which is how I want it. I want to manually boot the Ubuntu system from the installation disc. Is this possible? Are there options that I can specify in "Boot Options"? Any information would be... | 05:39 |
| lstarnes | D9: that doesn't apply to 9.10 | 05:39 |
| cb1147 | ...greatly appreciated. | 05:39 |
| vajorie | *have not been (relatively) | 05:39 |
| lstarnes | D9: which intel card are you using? | 05:39 |
| sircrazy | vajorie: that actually sounds like what i want. :D | 05:40 |
| sircrazy | what you described | 05:40 |
| sircrazy | thank you | 05:40 |
| pyro2927 | I just installed ubuntu succesfully, but now during my boot up it hangs on "PREFETCH window" | 05:40 |

| vinnie_ | did freenode do something new? saying my router is buggy. Whats up with that? | 05:41 |
| Tiders | How does KDE work with dual displays | 05:41 |
| lstarnes | vinnie_: you were banned from this channel because your router was vulnerable to the DCC exploit | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, wat do u nean | 05:41 |
| Tiders | Like will it work okay? | 05:41 |
| Tiders | pvl1, Will it work okay* | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, depends on ue card | 05:42 |
| Tiders | pvl1, Nvidia | 05:42 |
| vinnie_ | lstarnes: i changed to port 80001 and the 'test me' and now im back. | 05:42 |
| lstarnes | vinnie_: that should work around the exploit | 05:42 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, should be fine. i have an ati and runs flawlessly | 05:42 |
| blurk | Can anyone help me install "http://brsev.deviantart.com/art/Token-128429570?offset=100#comments"? =) | 05:42 |

| blurk | Can't get em to work | 05:42 |
| D9 | If I want to down load a driver package is this the correct syntax? apt-get install (package name)? | 05:43 |
| vinnie_ | lstarnes: should i go ahead and upgrade my firmware? | 05:43 |
| vajorie | sircrazy: you're welcome :) | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | D9: it depends on the package name | 05:43 |
| Tiders | pvl1, Will I be losing anything by switching to Kubuntu? Performance wise etc | 05:43 |
| lstarnes | D9: but it is sudo apt-get install packagename | 05:43 |
| D9 | lstarnes, is there anything else I need? | 05:43 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, not that i know off. i keep gnome and kde, they seem to run the same | 05:44 |
| lstarnes | D9: other than the name of the package, no | 05:44 |
| D9 | ok | 05:44 |
| vajorie | D9: what's the driver you wanna get? perhaps someone here knows something tipsy about that... | 05:45 |
| Tiders | pvl1, If I wanted to install the KDE environment onto my box alongside GNOME could I do that and then remove ALL KDE stuff easily if I dont like? | 05:45 |
| DaskreeCh | Tiders: yes | 05:45 |
| lstarnes | Tiders: it can be a bit tricky though | 05:45 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, idk about the easily part but yes | 05:45 |
| DaskreeCh | lstarnes: no it's not | 05:45 |
| DaskreeCh | it's a hell of a lot easier than removing Gnome | 05:45 |
| pvl1 | Tiders, oh if all then yes | 05:46 |
| vajorie | Tiders: if you install it using aptitude, I believe removing it would be very easy | 05:46 |
| Tiders | Would I just do sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop? | 05:46 |
| freemind | Hi all, I would like to know how many sata drives linux can support on x86 arch ? | 05:46 |
| DaskreeCh | sudo apt-get remove kdelibs5 kubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get autoremove | 05:46 |
| DaskreeCh | freemind: Somewhere in the region of 700,000 | 05:47 |
| Tiders | DaskreeCh, Thanks | 05:47 |
| vajorie | Tiders: nope, apt-get would just remove that one meta-package. install with sudo aptitude install whatever | 05:47 |
| goose | how can I get my system to automagically mount an additional internal hard drive on startup? | 05:47 |
| Tiders | vajorie, Sudo apt-get and aptitude are different? I thought apt-get was just a front end | 05:47 |
| vajorie | Tiders: and remove with sudo aptitude remove whatever (same package name, so that it can remember what it installed alongside "whatever") | 05:47 |
| freemind | DaskreeCh, so... the limit is only the hardware limit? If I add enough controler cards ? | 05:47 |
| DaskreeCh | goose: automagically mount it where? | 05:47 |
| vajorie | Tiders: aptitude is a bit more intelligent :p | 05:48 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: /media/space | 05:48 |
| baltadt | leetom: got it back | 05:48 |
| DaskreeCh | freemind: no there is a limit. I doubt a single human will ever hit it though | 05:48 |
| DaskreeCh | !fstab | goose | 05:48 |
| ubottu | goose: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:48 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: it's an extra internal HD I use for all my various media stuff | 05:48 |
| vajorie | !aptitude | 05:48 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 05:48 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: although I can't "find" it through /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab -- I can only mount it by going to "Computer" and double clicking "298.1 GB Volume" | 05:49 |
| baltadt | leetom: it still says fatal server error: server is already active for display 0....when typied sudo startx | 05:49 |

| DaskreeCh | freemind: Sort of like the limit it has on RAM is 16 Exabytes | 05:51 |

| DaskreeCh | baltadt: What's the server error? | 05:57 |
| sarthorks | vajorie: did you mean something on the lines of : http://paste.ubuntu.com/344015/ | 05:57 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: that worked, except that I don't own /media/space, and "sudo chown -R goose /media/space" isn't fixing it :/ | 05:57 |
| DaskreeCh | goose: You mean you don't own the drive now that it's mounted? | 05:58 |
| baltadt | DaskreeCh: server is already active for display 0 | 05:58 |
| DaskreeCh | how much security do you need on it? | 05:58 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: exactly | 05:58 |
| goose | I can't write to it | 05:58 |
| vajorie | sarthorks: when the computer boots to *grub*, before it actually boots Ubuntu, press e. What you want to do is to follow the direction at the end of the screen to find the line in your very first grub entry that starts like this: "kernel /boot/vmlinuz .....". at the end of that line, add acpi=off, so it looks like this "........... ro quiet splash acpi=off", then press b to boot that entry. this is temporary; editing the menu.li | 05:58 |
| DaskreeCh | baltadt: you have X running already | 05:58 |
| DaskreeCh | goose: I know that. Does it matter if other people can write to it? | 05:59 |
| baltadt | i dont know...how to tell | 05:59 |
| goose | DaskreeCh: I'm the only user on the box | 05:59 |
| DaskreeCh | or must it be that only you can use it? | 05:59 |
| goose | chmod 777? | 05:59 |
| DaskreeCh | under options in fstab add umask=0022 | 05:59 |
| DaskreeCh | then reboot or run sudo mount -a --remount | 05:59 |
| vajorie | sarthorks: it's been a while since I did any edits to my grub on the fly, so pay attention to the tips that the screen provides you about editing grub entries while on the grub menu | 06:00 |
| baltadt | DaskreeCh: i dont think so. how do I tell | 06:00 |
| sarthorks | vajorie: thanks a lot. | 06:00 |
| vajorie | sarthorks: I hope it works | 06:01 |
| DaskreeCh | baltadt: ps aux | grep -i X | 06:01 |

| illy | I just downloaded Ubuntu, as a partition with Windows 7, and was trying to set up my internet connection. But it will not recognize that I have a wireless internet? I can do wired, but wireless won't show up. What do I do? | 06:10 |
| illy | Anybody got an answer? | 06:11 |
| sebsebseb | !wireless | illy | 06:11 |
| ubottu | illy: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:11 |
| baltadt | ok I give upfor tonight | 06:12 |
| hiatus | Illy: if you do not have drivers available in hardware drivers. You can you ndiswrapper to install your windows drivers although it can be a little technical | 06:12 |
| sebsebseb | illy: Did you install with Wubi? If so well, real partitions are better in the long run. | 06:12 |
| illy | Hiatus, also, I cannot install any packages for some reason. They can not be found. Sebsebseb, no, I downloaded the .iso onto a CD, and then reboot'ed and installed via that. | 06:13 |
| hiatus | Illy: worse comes to worse, you can buy a cheap taiwanese wireless adepter. They always work | 06:13 |
| sebsebseb | illy: ok | 06:13 |
| illy | Hiatus, how much are they in USD? And could you provide a link? and what do they do? | 06:13 |
| sebsebseb | hiatus: well maybe not always | 06:13 |
| sebsebseb | !hardware | 06:14 |
| ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 06:14 |

| DoubleDose | whats the difference between regular ubuntu and linux mint? | 06:14 |

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), crunchbang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #remote-exploit) | 06:14 |

| sebsebseb | illy: when your wired? | 06:16 |
| illy | Yes^ | 06:16 |
| illy | Unwired too. | 06:16 |
| sarthorks | vajorie: hooray! it seems to work! should i make the change in menu.lst itself? | 06:16 |
| sebsebseb | illy: maybe the server your getting from is having problems at the moment. it's also possible to change the server | 06:17 |
| illy | How do I change the server? I was using the main server, I think. | 06:17 |
| hiatus | Illy: mmm, its trying to find your packages from your cd. You need to stop it by removing a bit from a xml file. I forget which one. Someone else could probably tell ya. Its fairly easy | 06:17 |
| altf2o | so i thought i would be security minded and check out SELinux, installed it (sort of) of course it crashed, i rebooted and found no difference. Unfortunately the documentation on it on Ubuntu's site is thin. Now i keep getting a crash when trying to reinstall Apparmor instead. Anyone have any success with SELinux in Ubuntu 9.10? | 06:17 |
| Zolo | I should sleeeeeeeeeep now | 06:17 |
| illy | Hiatus, could you direct me to someone who could tell me? | 06:18 |
| sebsebseb | illy: have a look at how things are set up, this is also where you can change the server/mirror if you want to system > administration > software sources | 06:18 |
| illy | hm..OK. | 06:18 |

| hiatus | Illy: if someone from here doesn't know, someone from the forums does. I had the same issue once | 06:19 |
| Kemsei | Illy. Do you use a PC or a laptop? | 06:19 |
| KB1JWQ | illy: Shouldn't be dependant uponyour router model. | 06:19 |
| vinnie_ | router firmware upgrade worked.. im back on port 6667 :) | 06:20 |
| illy | Hiatus, alright, but forums are really slow responders. Kemsei, Laptop. Kb1, thought that myself. | 06:20 |

| sebsebseb | illy: some how you can probably get a native Linux driver working for the wireless :) also got the Windows driver? if so ndiswarpper should be able to do that, and that can be installed from the CD some how | 06:20 |
| illy | Kb1, It just doesnt recognize that I have a internet connection around me. | 06:20 |
| Kemsei | Hm... | 06:21 |
| sebsebseb | illy: that's Ndiswrapper | 06:21 |
| Kemsei | I don't know what to think of that, I might need to look it up. | 06:21 |
| illy | Er, could you explain to me about ndiswrapper? Does it install the drivers automatically to recognize the connection? And, I had the problem where I can't install stuff. How would I get it then? | 06:22 |
| illy | And lol kemsei =p | 06:22 |

| Kemsei | I'm not really an expert on the hardware stuff, so. | 06:22 |
| bbalajirao | nick | 06:23 |
| sebsebseb | illy: it uses the inf file or whatever it was from the Windows driver and then it's set up to use it in Ndiswrapper. anyway uhm wireless isn't really my area, so good luck, and other people will be able to help you get it working in Ubuntu, I expect | 06:23 |

| illy | i'll go try what you said, by changing the server im gettin packages from, and then try ndiswrapper (did i spell right?) | 06:27 |
| illy | in terminal to get ndiswrapper, i should use 'sudo alt-get install ndiswrapper' right? | 06:28 |
| illy | And, whats a good fast reliable server to get the packages from? I was using 'Main server'. | 06:28 |
| sebsebseb | illy: sudo apt-get | 06:28 |

| sebsebseb | illy: have a look at the bot wireless help stuff, II got it to give you earlier, that will help | 06:29 |

| sheena1 | well | 06:53 |
| sheena1 | acutally, maybe i do | 06:54 |
| sheena1 | i was hoping to put some photos on it to take to a store to be printed.. | 06:54 |
| willluongo | in that case, it is probably best to leave it FAT32 | 06:54 |
| sheena1 | i;ve used lots of flash drives before, though, and never had this problem.. | 06:54 |
| willluongo | is it telling you that you don't have permission? | 06:54 |
| sheena1 | yes | 06:54 |
| willluongo | try doing it as root or sudo | 06:54 |
| skitzo | found the flash file it wont let me delete | 06:54 |
| sheena1 | i ran gksudo nautilus, it still told me no permission | 06:55 |

| willluongo | skitzo: you will probably need to sudo | 06:55 |
| sheena1 | willluongo: i'm fairly new at ubuntu, and don't know the terminal commands to do it via sudo in terminal.. | 06:55 |
| willluongo | you can gksu your file manager of choice :) | 06:56 |
| sheena1 | i ran gksudo nautilus, it still told me no permission | 06:56 |
| betz | Morning! | 06:56 |

| sheena1 | is this repairable? | 06:58 |
| willluongo | more than likely :) | 06:58 |
| sheena1 | lol! i have no idea why! i thought maybe because of the boot files? | 06:58 |
| sheena1 | but im too n00b to have any idea | 06:58 |
| willluongo | how did you mount it? | 06:58 |
| betz | Would it be possible to expand a linux partition with extra free space? I have ubuntu running but need more space. Now i want to allocate free space on my hd to this linux partition. Is this possible without losing all current data? | 06:58 |
| willluongo | betz: yes | 06:59 |
| willluongo | you can do it with gparted | 06:59 |
| MenZa | betz: Certainly. Pop in a LiveCD, fire up gparted, and resize it. | 06:59 |
| willluongo | from a live cd | 06:59 |
| sheena1 | i plugged it in, willluongo | 06:59 |
| willluongo | did you try unplugging it and replugging it in? | 06:59 |
| betz | aha, very cool | 06:59 |

| ubuntu89889 | I am getting a white screen and no desk top. What could the problem be? | 07:07 |
| willluongo | sheena1: it could I suppose. | 07:08 |
| oCean_ | ubuntu89889: wait - is the problem you can't get nautilus or you can't get desktop?? | 07:08 |
| d9500 | skitzo, that script just does what running "sudo aptitude purge [enter names of all installed flash packages here] && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer" in terminal would have done, that is, get rid of all existing flash packages, download the 32-bit flash player, nspluginswrapper, and the required 32-bit libraries to run flash 32-bit on x64, and installs them. if you want the x64 edition, as I mentioned before, you have to download it from Ad | 07:08 |
| d9500 | obe's site. | 07:08 |
| sheena1 | willluongo: is there a way to override it and format it? | 07:08 |
| sheena1 | using bios or something? | 07:08 |
| willluongo | sheena1: yeah you could reformat it | 07:08 |
| willluongo | copy all your old stuff off first, I'd imagine :) | 07:09 |

| willluongo | but I think almost anything is better than itunes | 07:17 |
| colemickens | willluongo, yeah, It requires importing as well (I'm trying to find one that avoid that) | 07:18 |
| willluongo | sheena1: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdc | 07:18 |
| willluongo | colemickens: what are you trying to do? | 07:18 |
| sheena1 | ok that worked. now do it agian? | 07:18 |
| sheena1 | it looks formatted, on the screen | 07:19 |
| colemickens | willluongo (well truth be told) I have a mac and I'm trying to find a good alternative to itunes. Itunes refuses to close and reopen and remember my music | 07:19 |
| willluongo | ok if it is formatted, can you copy files onto it now? | 07:19 |

| sheena1 | willluongo: after "writing partition to disk", it says " No primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this. Toggle bootable flag of the current partition" is that relevant? | 07:22 |
| willluongo | you probably don't need to boot from it | 07:22 |
| sebsebseb | datz: also it replaces shut down and log out in the system menu, where it's meant to be really | 07:22 |

| illy | I got the drivers on my windows7 (the linux is partinited or whatever) and yeah i got right firmware | 07:32 |
| paddy_melon | illy, win7 and Ubuntu are not the same | 07:32 |
| paddy_melon | 1st, you'll need drivers for Ubuntu | 07:32 |
| paddy_melon | and, then you'll need (in some cases) new firmware for the card for it to work in Ubuntu (such as WRT) | 07:33 |
| illy | Yeah, I cant find those. | 07:33 |
| paddy_melon | ok | 07:33 |
| illy | I've googled for hours and cant find em. | 07:33 |
| paddy_melon | so, there's your problem, U need wireless drivers | 07:33 |
| paddy_melon | keep looking | 07:33 |
| illy | Yup. But, Cant find em, any place I can?.. | 07:33 |

| holmser | essentially the disk is just grub, which looks for a usb instance of vmlinuz | 07:38 |
| soreau | piojunbabia: Why are you trying to install compiz? It is already installed by default. | 07:38 |

| openros | Jordan_U, i did all googling, and installed a driver. Now it detects the wireless connections. but does not connect. | 07:54 |
| Jordan_U | openros: What driver did you install and how? | 07:55 |
| cynical | openros, they show up as disabled? | 07:55 |
| openros | if i give lshw, it gives a good output. but my laptop often freezes, and wireless connections are detected. but never connects. | 07:56 |
| seizui | Ugh. | 07:57 |
| openros | Jordon_U, it was Broadcom B43 wireless driver. | 07:57 |
| seizui | Well, back to 9.08 Ubuntu. | 07:57 |
| seizui | I found no way to fix the damn Grub 2 loading error. | 07:58 |
| openros | i installed, fwcutter via synaptic | 07:58 |
| Jordan_U | seizui: WHat error? | 07:58 |
| seizui | Well, it is when you first log on Ubuntu 9.10 and the whole thing crashes. It is at GRUB loading... then it freezes. It'll eventually say: error: no device found. | 07:59 |
| cynical | openros, do you see two drivers in the driver manager? B43 and STA? | 07:59 |
| seizui | Throughout the whole week, I tried looking through the ubuntu forums on how to solve the problem. I found out how to get around it, but it takes too long to do as well. | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | seizui: Removing "set --fs-uuid" "fixes" it? | 08:00 |
| openros | cynical, yes i see two driver... installing STA, removes completely the wireless options. even the light is not glowing | 08:00 |
| seizui | as far as typing c to get into the grub ( because it seems to) ---funny, I tried that, that didn't seem to work. I half-wondered if it is because that I installed it from an external DVD-rom drive that it does this to me. | 08:01 |
| cynical | you removed b43 before doing it? | 08:01 |
| psypher246 | hey all, could anyone please suggest a straight forward howto on getting kvm with bridged networking working, there are so many ways to doing it I am getting very confused. please note i need instructions on running kvm from command line due to bug in libvirt which does not allow it to run windows guests. thanks | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | seizui: What was the temporary "fix" that worked? | 08:01 |
| openros | cynical, yes i deactivated b43 and removed it | 08:01 |

| bllz | sprung: Ahhh... it all makes sense now. That's why playing blu-ray on my ubuntu laptop will earn me hard federal time | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | seizui: Your BIOS can't understand large drives and so gives an error when grub probes for partitions. Since the boot files are *usually* within the first 130 or so GIG grub can still boot. The fix is just to make that IO error not fatal | 08:07 |

| seizui | Admittedly, trying to use my Thinkpad R40 for this thing. | 08:10 |
| seizui | So this -is- kind of old. | 08:10 |
| Jordan_U | seizui: If there is a BIOS update you can try it. You can also create a small /boot partition at the begginning of the drive or tell grub when you install to use it's own ata drivers directly rather than going through the BIOS | 08:11 |
| openros | andrew_46, is it working for you | 08:11 |
| geirha | bllz: I don't know about Bittornado, but Transmission 1.80 will support magnet urls. | 08:12 |
| andrew_46 | openros: Yes but I found that it worked more reliably with wicd | 08:12 |
| openros | cynical: not in my hardware drivers i have only Broadcom STA, but it says 'This driver is activated but not currently in use' | 08:12 |
| seizui | Alright. I'll have to give this a try tomorrow. Sadly, too late to attempt anything with this thing. | 08:12 |

| ubottu | papul: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 08:17 |
| bllz | how do I check if i have a package installed at the command line? | 08:17 |
| bllz | papul: freebsd is the closest thing you'll find to a desktop OS | 08:17 |
| lstarnes | bllz: aptitude show packagename | 08:17 |
| Zelest | papul, netbsd if you plan to run it on your toaster.. freebsd if you plan to have a web/mail/sql server.. openbsd if you plan to have a firewall/dns server. ;) | 08:17 |
| bllz | papul: openbsd is very security oriented and netbsd is for complex networks, i believe | 08:17 |
| bllz | lstarnes: thank you! | 08:18 |
| Zelest | papul, (imho of course, each to their own) | 08:18 |
| cynical | openros, can you type lsmod | grep "b43\|ssb\|wl" and see if anything is returned? | 08:18 |
| lstarnes | bllz: or dpkg -s packagename | 08:18 |
| bllz | lstarnes: is there any difference between the two? | 08:18 |
| lstarnes | bllz: aptitude also checks package info in APT repositories | 08:18 |
| lstarnes | bllz: dpkg only checks the local installed package database | 08:18 |
| openros | cynical, no output | 08:18 |
| testlinkinus | test | 08:19 |
| cynical | ok so it's not loaded | 08:19 |
| cynical | try modprobe wl | 08:19 |
| bllz | lstarnes: great thanks! one more question, how do i find the manpage? i tried man bittornado, but got nothing... I assume there's a manpage hidden in there somewhere | 08:19 |
| lstarnes | bllz: that should work if that is the application's name | 08:20 |
| geirha | bllz: dpkg -L package-name will list all files installed by that package, so | grep man may give a clue | 08:20 |
| bllz | geirha; great thank you | 08:20 |
| bllz | lstarnes; thank you as well! | 08:20 |
| cynical | openros, if modprobe wl doesn't work then the driver isn't properly installed. You may want to go to http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and download/install it manually | 08:20 |
| openros | cynical, I got Fatal error, on dmesg i get, wl: disagrees about version of symbol lib80211_get_crypto_ops | 08:21 |
| cynical | openros, ok that is more interesting | 08:21 |
| cynical | openros, do you have linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-1-generic installed? | 08:22 |
| openros | cynical, i hav linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-16-generic installed | 08:23 |
| cynical | openros, uninstall it | 08:24 |
| cynical | openros, if it doesn't work immediately after, reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source and it should work | 08:24 |
| openros | cynical, should i manually install broadcom driver or do this before that | 08:24 |
| cynical | openros, no you shouldn't need to if this works | 08:25 |
| openros | cynical, removing linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-16-generic, removes so many other linux-backports-modules-X | 08:25 |
| openros | cynical, chall i proceed | 08:26 |
| cynical | openros, if all is good you should be able to uninstall that package and reinstall the driver directly from the repositories through the bcmwl-kernel-source package | 08:26 |
| cynical | openros, yes | 08:26 |
| MASARUwota | !bye | 08:27 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 08:27 |
| openros | cynical, basically what are those backports packages. | 08:27 |
| knecht | hi there. i installed a new hardisc in ubuntu server 8.10, create a partition and mkfs.ext3 the new partition. Now i want to mount it via fstab, "blkid /dev/sda1" tell me the uuid, and i want to make an entry in fstab with this uuid, but there is no symlink in /dev/disk/by-uuid for that uuid. Do i need to restart a service? Or should i create it manually? Who creates this symlinks in /dev/disk/by-uuid? THANKS | 08:27 |
| cynical | openros, backported modules = hardware drivers | 08:28 |
| cynical | openros, lots of random wireless drivers/etc | 08:28 |
| wonderboy | ubuntu 9.10 don't have grub on the live cd? | 08:28 |
| cynical | openros, one of the libraries in that particular module is the reason you can't load your driver | 08:29 |
| openros | cynical, great. thanks a ton | 08:30 |
| cynical | openros, did it work? | 08:30 |
| openros | cynical: basically those backport modules, didnt let this driver to load am i right | 08:30 |
| cynical | openros, yup | 08:31 |
| cynical | openros, does it work now though? | 08:31 |
| openros | cynical, perfect | 08:31 |
| cynical | openros, awesome :) | 08:31 |

| Riddick | anyone have any idea why ubuntu would hang at 33% formatting a drive every time during install? or some workaround that would get it moving forward? | 08:38 |
| jme- | hi. I just installed Ubuntu 10.4. I'm trying to setup a lamp stack (apache, PHP and MySql). I installed pdo and pdo_mysql using pecl install xxx. After that I restarted apache and phpinfo() showed me that pdo and pdo_mysql are installed. Then I tried to install phpmyadmin using apt-get install phpmyadmin. When I restarted apache, it suddenly failed. When I looked in the error.log, I found this line: "/usr/sbin/apache2: symbol lookup | 08:38 |
| jme- | error: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: php_pdo_get_dbh_ce" | 08:38 |
| Riddick | and this is a brand new drive. i thought one i was installing on may have been bad. got a new drive and save issue. | 08:38 |
| openros | cynical, its working perfectly. | 08:38 |
| openros | cynical, thanks | 08:38 |
| cynical | openros, np, I'm glad to hear it :) | 08:39 |

| lvlint67 | Riddick: also, how big is the drive? | 08:40 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: i have tried leaving it for a while. right now i think its been sitting there the last few hours. its just hung. the mouse wont move, etc. its froze. | 08:41 |
| Riddick | the drive is 500Gigs | 08:41 |
| lvlint67 | Riddick: have you tried formatting it outside of the installer? gparted for instance? | 08:42 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: It *could* be a memory issue | 08:42 |
| yancho | guys i made a backup of a fileserver on a pc running a live cd of ubuntu and both partitions are around 40gb each. the problem is now that the process has finished when i did right click > properties i am just getting "..." as file number and size. Is there some way to compare the folder sizes via cli please? | 08:42 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: not memory tests fine and will run windows with no issues whatsoever | 08:43 |
| Riddick | lvlint67: no, i could try that. just go alt f2 i suppose to get to the console and run it | 08:43 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: hard drive cable? | 08:44 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: got a new one with the new drive. so i would say no. | 08:44 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: Have you ever previously installed Ubuntu on this same computer? | 08:45 |
| lazy_man | hey everyone...i have serious problem....my ubuntu cannot boot after deleting linux ext4 partition that has mount point (on /usr/local)...what should i do?? | 08:45 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: no, i have tried and failed over and over. | 08:46 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: Maybe Ubuntu doesn't like your motherboard's SATA or IDE controller | 08:46 |
| Riddick | the next thing is get a different motherboard. | 08:46 |
| lstarnes | reset | 08:46 |

| geirha | lazy_man: Boot the ubuntu CD, mount the / partition of your harddrive install, and comment or remove the offending line from etc/fstab | 08:47 |
| _Agent86_ | hi | 08:47 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: what does lspci | grep SATA give you for the model of your SATA controller? | 08:48 |
| _Agent86_ | could someone running ubuntu with libcurl installed do a quick check for me? | 08:48 |
| _Agent86_ | see if you have a /lib/curl dir | 08:48 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: i have never got it to recognize sata it will start the install from the sata blueray but then fail to continue when you say install so i have used a usb dvd drive to do the install and put an ide harddrive in which it does see | 08:48 |
| lazy_man | can u give me some examples? | 08:48 |
| Riddick | so it could just be as you stated the motherbaord controllers suck on this board | 08:49 |
| lazy_man | and i am using netbook so i can't use live cd on it | 08:49 |
| _Agent86_ | (on gcc compile with #include <curl/curl.h>, it can't find any of the normal libcurl functions) | 08:49 |
| Typh | hmmm, why would I not have a bluetooth indicator/blueman is all greyed out | 08:49 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: Oh, yeah, you definitely need a new mobo then :P | 08:49 |
| geirha | lazy_man: Does it drop you into a shell? You may be able to do it from there. | 08:50 |
| Riddick | FireCrotch: what do you think of this board? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4408209&sku=A455-2876 | 08:50 |
| lazy_man | yeah that's right...now i am in recovery shell...so what should i do next? | 08:51 |
| geirha | lazy_man: vim /etc/fstab | 08:52 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: seems to be your average run of the mill AM3 motherboard, really | 08:53 |
| Riddick | yeah but its not nforce which i think is the reason this board sucks on the machine i want ubuntu on. | 08:53 |
| Riddick | its amd chipset which will probably have support | 08:54 |
| lazy_man | hmm....i just get message : vim: command not found....i think that must be installed first....what should i do next? | 08:54 |
| Riddick | and it supports the memory and processor i already have. | 08:54 |
| geirha | lazy_man: Try nano | 08:54 |
| dn4 | What is a program used for video editing? | 08:55 |
| geirha | lazy_man: Or possibly /usr/bin just isn't in the PATH, so /usr/bin/vim | 08:55 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: How old is the motherboard that you're trying to use? | 08:55 |
| Riddick | got it last year | 08:55 |

| AnnonyMouse | hi guys; I'm trying to set up multiseat-X. the config is pretty complicated. is the a tool to simplify the process (karmic-64) | 08:55 |
| Kane | ive got a prob with my video card | 08:57 |
| FireCrotch | Riddick: it seems to me that it may not necessarily be that Ubuntu doesn't like your chipset, but rather that it's going bad (you might not have problems with Windows even if the chipset is crapping out) | 08:57 |
| lazy_man | it is said no such file or directory.... | 08:57 |

| llutz | Kane: most likeley you don't have one, create it with the options you need | 09:00 |

| dsl_ | so launcher properties should read for /bin/bash script? | 09:07 |
| llutz | Kane: depends on your video-chipset | 09:07 |

| dsl_ | Myrtti: er, sorry I'm new to this :( | 09:10 |
| Myrtti | dsl_: make a launcher for "gnome-terminal -x /path/to/the/script" or something like that | 09:11 |

| vsMS | a second question: does somebody here tried to install karmic using fai? | 09:11 |

| llutz_ | Kane: then try "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf && sudo nvidia-settings" | 09:22 |
| rand_acs | hole_: for example, you're trying to read an element in an array, but then the program reads outside of the array boundries | 09:23 |
| Myrtti | VirusTB: this is ubuntu channel, so we assume you're using ubuntu | 09:23 |
| hole_ | i understand | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | rand_acs: np :) | 09:23 |
| VirusTB | Myrtti<< yes I am :P but the HDD I want to seel is on Windows, I'll install ubuntu on it and shred it | 09:23 |
| Myrtti | VirusTB: the livecd probably has shred too | 09:23 |
| rand_acs | Jordan_U: let's reboot and hope this works :) | 09:24 |

| Kane | masaruwota, when i then try and change the resolutin and save it to the x file, wich llutz have helped me with, but i cant seem to get it right, it says: Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'! | 09:30 |
| dsl_ | i need to install a label printer. I've got the archive containing the driver source and unzipped it, next I need to compile it. Is there a C++ compiler in the default desktop ubuntu? I can't see gcc installed | 09:30 |
| quietone1 | is there a key board equivalent to clicking the mouse wheel? | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | dsl_: install build-essential. Are you sure though you need to compile it? | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Kane: you need to match the res to your screens native res as your monitor sounds like it moans unless you use the only res it is ok with | 09:32 |
| Oday | but wait | 09:32 |
| Oday | dsl_, go to terminal | 09:32 |
| Oday | and type 'gcc' | 09:32 |
| Kane | actionparsnip im a noob to this, what ?? | 09:32 |
| dsl_ | Myrtti: i tried command gcc with no source file and it is installed | 09:32 |
| Oday | if you get "gcc: no input files" than gcc is installed | 09:33 |
| === andi_ is now known as isolat3sh33p | ||

| Kane | actionparsnip, i use the one it says insight the screen and it says 1280x1024 | 09:33 |
| Dn4 | !cinelerra | 09:33 |
| ubottu | Cinelerra is a video editor and compositor that cannot be included in Ubuntu for legal reasons. Install instructions can be found on http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu | 09:33 |
| Oday | so you just need to put the file you want to compile, in the Home folder, and run "g++ <filename> -o <outputfilename> | 09:33 |
| dsl_ | Oday: yep i did that ^^, I'll try it for real now ;) | 09:33 |
| MASARUwota | dsl_ good luck | 09:33 |

| hole_ | would it be possible to build new toolbars like the non remix version and if so then how? | 09:34 |

| Kane | i cant get in the game actionparsnip | 09:34 |
| Kane | actionparsnip, is there a page on the internet where i can search for the screen i use ? | 09:35 |
| hole_ | whddya think | 09:35 |
| hole_ | would it be possible to build new toolbars like the non remix version and if so then how? | 09:35 |
| Typh | hole_: what do you mean new toolbars? | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Kane: just look in display settings, or just run: sudo xrandr | 09:36 |
| hole_ | on the original ubuntu there is a bar at the top and a bar at the bottom | 09:36 |
| Typh | The top panel is a normal gnome panel. You can right click an empty spot and do whatever you want | 09:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Kane: you may have to jump into the configs of the game to manually set the res | 09:36 |
| Dn4 | !directfb | 09:36 |
| dsl_ | Before i do that, i have another set of instructions which says do './configure' then 'make' then 'make install'. I take it this means i dont have to use gcc to compile directly? | 09:36 |
| hole_ | my right click seems to be non functional | 09:37 |
| Typh | maybe you should try a different distro. I suggest Jolicloud | 09:37 |

| ActionParsnip | BIG: yes but most dont as they are either ignorant or don't like having to log off to do admin tasks | 09:44 |
| indus | hello folks | 09:44 |
| i_is_broke | hi indieross | 09:44 |
| Myrtti | dsl_: do you have the -dev packages installed? you need them to compile | 09:44 |
| i_is_broke | oops hi indus | 09:44 |
| ActionParsnip | big: linux understands that running apps with full system access is a REALLY bad idea and uses a better user model | 09:45 |
| indus | hi | 09:45 |
| dsl_ | Myrtti: er, how to tell please? | 09:45 |
| BIG | How does it make it safer? it can only harm that user? So if it did smuck up that user then you just make another? | 09:45 |
| i_is_broke | BIG, you have to log into the admin account to install things, so it doesnt give it access to that part of the system. | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: ok when you are admin you have FULL system acces (read and write) as a user you only have read access systemwide but ONLY write access to your home folder | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: so if you run a web browser as admin it has full reign over your system and you will get issues if for example a javascript or flash app has malicious code | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: as a user it will only have access to your user data and will not cripple your system as you can simply log on as another user to fix | 09:47 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: in windows most idiots log on as administrator and wonder why they get issues | 09:48 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: running things like web browsers as admin or root and especially irc clients is massively foolhardy | 09:48 |
| BIG | so if i'm the user and it goes bad i just log in as admin and use virus scans ? | 09:49 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip, your absolutely correct on that.except that they some times dont know that, as its not explained by m$ | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: i know but its sad | 09:49 |
| i_is_broke | ActionParsnip, well you called them idiots, i think of them as unknowledged. | 09:49 |
| Myrtti | dsl_: check which cups related dev packages you've got installed either via aptitude or synaptic | 09:49 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: you can simply drop to root recovery console, or make an extra user for troubleshooting with. Any issues you encounter will only affect ~ | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | i_is_broke: there are people who should know better but still do it | 09:51 |
| i_is_broke | its one of the main reasons i switched to linux, that and i got tired of having to update my system every time there was a new windows os.coming out. | 09:51 |

| Guest0 | hi | 09:52 |
| zaggynl | hello | 09:52 |
| Guest0 | : > | 09:52 |
| BIG | so i'll make a bunch of accounts then i can switch around if i need to to fix issues, IF i'm installing something can i just switch back and forth using the Log off switch to user option? | 09:53 |
| ActionParsnip | BIG: you can right click apps in windows and select : run as then use your admin account | 09:53 |

| llutz_ | !checkinstall | dsl_ for the future you might want to use this | 10:20 |
| ubottu | dsl_ for the future you might want to use this: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

| JAM` | indus, they not they way they are like they are on every other day and the whole PC is running a lot slower than it should, considering I'm running nothing other than xchat. | 10:30 |
| indus | JAM`: install htop | 10:30 |
| JAM` | indus, the CPU is not in use, it's like at 3% | 10:30 |
| JAM` | it's totally a memory issue ¬_¬ | 10:30 |

| * nonoy\ np: Jose Mari Chan - Track 5 ( get AMIP v2.26 plug-in at http://amip.tools-for.net ) | 10:31 | |
| JAM` | indus, it did this last week one morning too, and it took an hour before it went back to normal. Then it didn't do it again, now it has started again. | 10:31 |
| indus | JAM`: probably a ghost :P , but hmm check which processes are doing so, | 10:32 |
| JAM` | indus, last time this happened I waited like an hour then eventually the RAM levels dropped back to normal and the PC sped up again | 10:32 |
| dsl_ | Ilutz: sorry I don't understand... is checkinstall a command? | 10:33 |
| JAM` | indus, the processes list looks totally normal, with the exception that tings are using more RAM than usual, but it still adds up to at most 200mb, there's nothing that's shown to be using like 300 or whatever. Which is why I'm in here ;p | 10:33 |
| sarthork1 | my hardy was giving trouble booting without "acpi=off". but with "acpi=off" i dont see any battery stats. I've looked the net, and i read something about grub-efi, but isnt that only for macbooks? im on a lenovo machine. can anyone help me with this? | 10:33 |
| indus | JAM`: its normal, i have 200 mb used normally for nothing | 10:33 |
| indus | JAM`: are you running any services | 10:34 |
| JAM` | I have 400mb in use! | 10:34 |
| llutz_ | dsl_: yes, but you have to install it before | 10:34 |
| JAM` | just the process list adds to 200mb | 10:34 |
| indus | JAM`: ya hmm you should reboot ;0 | 10:34 |
| llutz_ | dsl_: using "make install" on systems with package-management is not a good idea. it will drive you into trouble, sooner or later. so better use checkinstall or create "real .deb" | 10:35 |
| indus | JAM`: cant say, maybe someone else has some idea | 10:35 |
| JAM` | indus, I've rebooted once already ;o | 10:35 |

| indus | JAM`: which version of ubuntu is this,9.10? use 1 gb atleast | 10:36 |
| JAM` | indus, this still shouldn't be happening, I'm running nothing | 10:36 |
| JAM` | indus, it runs fine every other day than today | 10:36 |
| indus | JAM`: yes,but linux uses mem differently | 10:36 |
| llutz_ | dsl_: yes, "sudo aptitude install checkinstall" and then use "sudo checkinstall" instead of "sudo make install" | 10:36 |
| JAM` | indus, I can't add more RAM to this machine, it's not mine, I'm at work | 10:36 |

| Kane | when i install software programs from ubuntu software centre, where does ubuntu put it ? | 10:39 |
| llutz_ | dsl_: no, it's a "make install" replacement, just fire it up in your source-directory where you would type "sudo make install". but as Myrtti said, using checkinstall won't solve any compile-errors. | 10:39 |
| Two4 | Kane, do you mean the .deb packages that it downloads, or the software itself? | 10:40 |
| chilli0 | Is there anyway to control the t.v from ubuntu lol ? I have blutooth | 10:40 |

| dsl_ | Ilutz: its installed, I need to do a printer install using those drivers now | 10:41 |
| llutz_ | dsl_: good luck | 10:41 |
| airtonix | chilli0, first you need bluetooth nodes on both devices. | 10:41 |

| Kane | two4, i cant play urban terror and it sucks | 10:42 |
| Kane | because it cant find my video mode | 10:42 |
| airtonix | chilli0, you could use an infrared sender from the machine then but it gets more complicated and specific to each tv | 10:42 |
| ellie | ubuntu-tweak is great but does not work on karmic. at least the good stuffs | 10:42 |
| chilli0 | airtonix, How can i do that =o ? | 10:42 |
| ellie | repos. cleaning. app install etc | 10:42 |
| dsl_ | Ilutz: installed ok but not printing (yet)! | 10:43 |
| mansa | I am not able to run the sudo apt-get update command in the terminal. It says cannot connect to the proxy | 10:43 |
| airtonix | chilli0, it's based on the principle of recording the required infrared signals into audio files and playing them back through the headphone port into a infrared sender that is plugged into your headphone port. | 10:43 |
| dabukalam | MASARUwota: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /media/aks4 | 10:43 |

| moreece | oh no | 11:43 |
| moreece | now my machine has restarted and its says error 15: file not found -> press any key to continue | 11:44 |
| [BIOS]arvind | network manager's failing to conenct to DSL, so is there any other way to connect to internet? | 11:44 |
| moreece | if i do that it gives me the ubuntu 9.10 metest86 option only :( | 11:44 |
| moreece | only to go back around in a circle | 11:44 |

| MASARUwota | [BIOS]arvind, try opening a terminal and running dhcpcd <interface> | 11:45 |

| Slart | one: not that I know of.. but we try answer all questions in here.. well.. as long as they are ubuntu related | 11:46 |
| [BIOS]arvind | MASARUwota: i don't have dhcpcd installed. | 11:47 |
| Slart | one: this might be a good starting read as well.. it's based on an earlier version of ubuntu but most of it is still valid http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com | 11:47 |
| MASARUwota | [BIOS]arvind, another possibility is WICD, the networkmanager alternative, which is lighter and just overall better =) | 11:47 |
| [BIOS]arvind | MASARUwota: but I can't install anything without the internet can I? | 11:48 |
| MASARUwota | [BIOS]arvind, you are correct | 11:48 |

| [BIOS]arvind | MASARUwota: I tried pppoeconf but it didn't work. | 11:49 |
| MASARUwota | if you dont use wireless internet, you should just enable modprobe and netcfg to do the network things, like every linux distro does out of the box. :X except ubuntu, which wants to be user-friendly, and thus, some of those apps just dont work as they should. | 11:49 |

| MASARUwota | moreece: make sure to clean up the config files in your home dir | 11:50 |
| [BIOS]arvind | MASARUwota: Thing is that a friend of mine configured my internet to work using pppoeconf but it doesn't work now when I do "pon dsl" | 11:50 |
| MASARUwota | moreece: also, yes. try installing a desktop environment/window manager of yoru preference | 11:51 |

| bbeikke | FreeFull: what hanppened？ | 12:11 |
| FreeFull | bbeikke: I switched from OpenSuSE to Xubuntu | 12:11 |
| crankyadmin | KDE is just so well intergrated for development. | 12:11 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: i guess im in the middle then, using a lightweight floating WM | 12:11 |
| crankyadmin | MASARUwota, I'd say so... | 12:12 |
| bbeikke | FreeFull: ^_^xdebian is also perfect | 12:12 |

| salty | thnx | 12:13 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: kde is too laggy for me, on my old laptop | 12:14 |
| * crankyadmin gets a new from work every year :D | 12:15 | |
| * MASARUwota doesnt | 12:15 | |
| MASARUwota | also, its terribly quiet atm | 12:15 |
| crankyadmin | isn't! | 12:15 |
| MASARUwota | yes it is | 12:16 |
| crankyadmin | I may have to go trolling in #windows | 12:16 |
| Daughain | Ok, so what exactly is KDE, and what benefit does the average user get form it? | 12:16 |
| MASARUwota | you get a nice looking desktop and widgets | 12:16 |
| MASARUwota | :X | 12:16 |
| crankyadmin | The K Desktop Enviroment | 12:16 |
| Daughain | WTF is a widget?? =) | 12:16 |
| MASARUwota | big shiny things on your desktop | 12:16 |
| * salty is looking for ubuntu on acer aspire one laptop | 12:16 | |
| MASARUwota | ;/ | 12:16 |
| Daughain | Big shiny things?? | 12:17 |
| crankyadmin | You know what else is really cool with KDE is window snapping | 12:17 |
| Daughain | Window sbnapping???? | 12:17 |
| crankyadmin | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI_widget | 12:17 |
| Daughain | Gimme five minutes, then. :P | 12:18 |
| crankyadmin | Daughain: Windows snap to half the screen if you drag them to the edge | 12:18 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: thats pretty nice | 12:19 |
| Daughain | That makes no sense to me.....Did I mention I am a raw newb? | 12:19 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: doesnt awesome do that aswell :X | 12:19 |
| crankyadmin | MASARUwota: Not with the sex factor the KDE does it with. | 12:19 |
| MASARUwota | Daughain: try googling for some screenshtos of kde4 | 12:19 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: the glossy factor? | 12:19 |

| crankyadmin | KDE4 is super polished.. And in OpenSUSE its super intergrated. I like that. | 12:20 |
| Daughain | MASARU: I will, if a fresh istall of 9.10 speeds up firefox. | 12:20 |
| MASARUwota | crankyadmin: it is polished, i agree with that. whenever i used it i didnt have any problems with it | 12:21 |
| zozo | hello | 12:21 |
| MASARUwota | !howdy|zozo | 12:21 |
| ubottu | zozo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 12:21 |
| LP | anyone knows how to turn of IPv6 DNS queries? I've disabled IPv6, but still for example wget first issue a AAAA lookup, then after 10 seconds a A lookup... | 12:21 |
| lorenzosu | After updating to Ubuntu 9.10 (and thus to GRUB 2) on a dual boot system I can boot with no problem in Linux, but can't boot into Windows... Try update-grub and it reports finding Windows, but then when I reboot it fails. The only feedback I get is 'GRUB' | 12:22 |
| GNUtoo | hi,what is not compatible with 64bit nowadays? | 12:22 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: windows XP | 12:22 |
| MASARUwota | LOL | 12:22 |
| Slart | !ipv6 | 12:23 |
| ubottu | For an introduction to IPv6 and information on tunneling IPv6 through IPv4 connections, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 | To disable IPv6 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 12:23 |
| zozo | java app sound abouts system sound, in karmic, could anyone help? | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: seriously though, very few things. Do you have something specific you'd like to know? | 12:23 |
| GNUtoo | ok so everyting including proprietary things like flash,ati driver,java,wine are compatible | 12:23 |
| GNUtoo | altough wine and java are not proprietary | 12:23 |
| Daughain | I'm running WINE on 64 bit 9.10 | 12:23 |
| MASARUwota | zozo: could you please explain your problem with a more detailed explanation. | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: ati driver, I don't know of, java, flash and wine are AFAIK | 12:23 |
| GNUtoo | ok thanks | 12:23 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: with flash you need to know where to look from though | 12:24 |
| GNUtoo | ah? | 12:24 |
| MASARUwota | proprietary stuff is often slow with adapting to 64-bit | 12:24 |
| GNUtoo | ok | 12:24 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: ubuntu doesn't ship with the native 64-bit flash | 12:24 |
| GNUtoo | ah ok so I need to manually install it | 12:25 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: you need to go and download it from adobe and install/set it up yourself | 12:25 |
| GNUtoo | ok | 12:25 |
| Twinkletoes|W | In 8.04, when I changed /etc/network/interfaces (to add "iface eth0 inet dhcp"), immediately I lost my network connection and had to go to the physical console and restart networking to make it work. How can I do this remotely without losing connection? | 12:25 |
| Myrtti | GNUtoo: then again, you could also try gnash or swfdec which are of course natively 64-bit, being open source and all | 12:25 |
| zozo | MASARUwota: java application in firefox, when gives sound message, system sound is aborted | 12:25 |
| MASARUwota | GNUtoo: or use the gnu GNASH app. but dont bother if you actually want to use flash, as its in heavy development | 12:25 |
| MASARUwota | zozo: so java doesnt give you any sounds? normal sound works fine? | 12:26 |
| isolat3sh33p | GNUtoo: Do you have problem with flash? | 12:26 |
| rjbgbo | REGISTER 210689bota rjbgbo@aol.com | 12:26 |
| MASARUwota | Twinkletoes|W: you can try writing a script? | 12:27 |
| GNUtoo | MASARUwota, personnaly I use gnash but the person who asked me to install ubuntu wants flash | 12:27 |
| lorenzosu | After updating to Ubuntu 9.10 (and thus to GRUB 2) on a dual boot system I can boot with no problem in Linux, but can't boot into Windows... Try update-grub and it reports finding Windows, but then when I reboot it fails. The only feedback I get is 'GRUB' | 12:27 |
| Twinkletoes|W | MASARUwota: I can do that if that's the proper way. | 12:27 |
| nelson_ | hello | 12:27 |
| MASARUwota | Twinkletoes|W: there is no proper way | 12:27 |
| Twinkletoes|W | MASARUwota: I was thinking that maybe I'd edited the wrong file or sometihng | 12:27 |
| zozo | MASARUwota: java gives sound, but other apps sound are stopped | 12:27 |
| MASARUwota | !hi|nelson | 12:27 |
| ubottu | nelson: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 12:27 |
| MASARUwota | zozo: so ONLY java works? O.o | 12:28 |
| nelson_ | on a confgure i get this checking for KDE... configure: error: | 12:28 |
| nelson_ | ... check for kde bla bla bla | 12:28 |
| Kottizen | How do I enable CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE? | 12:28 |
| MASARUwota | Twinkletoes|W: if you edit network conf, your network will die. makes sense IMO | 12:28 |
| zozo | MASARUwota: yes, but I have to restart other apps to get sound again | 12:28 |
| MASARUwota | !x11|Kottizen | 12:28 |
| ubottu | Kottizen: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 12:28 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: What version of KDE? | 12:29 |
| Twinkletoes|W | MASARUwota: I couldn't find any info that said changing /etc/network/interfaces would immediately kill the network, I sort of expected the network to die only when I restarted it | 12:29 |
| Slart | !dontzap | Kottizen | 12:29 |
| ubottu | Kottizen: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 12:29 |
| Kottizen | Slart: Thanks. | 12:29 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, i dunno. i want one to be able to install a program | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm that gdm factoid needs updated to use 'sudo service gdm restart' or 'sudo service kdm restart' | 12:29 |
| Slart | Kottizen: you're welcome | 12:29 |
| MASARUwota | Twinkletoes|W: well, it seems that network deamon in ubuntu checks the file continuesly ;/ | 12:29 |
| MASARUwota | Dr_Willis has returned~! | 12:29 |
| Twinkletoes|W | MASARUwota: Yup - it seems I learnt the hard way - thank you :) | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Kottizen: that enable alt-ctrl-bs is also a little different in 9.10 then in 9.04 | 12:30 |
| legend2440 | Kottizen: if your using karmic then http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | MASARUwota: No i havent. :) | 12:30 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: Fragmented sentence could you rephrase please? | 12:30 |
| MASARUwota | Dr_Willis: damn .... | 12:30 |
| matteo1990 | Hi all, i having problems with the Wireless network configuration in Kubuntu. I am trying Manually with ifconfig, how i know the IP i have o insert? | 12:30 |
| indus | i dont think dont zap works in karmic ,anyways it didnt work | 12:30 |
| MASARUwota | matteo1990: do you have DHCP? | 12:30 |
| === leon is now known as Guest92186 | ||
| === Guest92186 is now known as obrik | ||
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, i want to fix this http://pastebin.com/m25f78b17 | 12:31 |
| zozo | MASARUwota: yes, only java sound works, until restart the other app: like mediaplayer | 12:32 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: theres different ways to enable it in 9.10 - i ve seen some web pages with info. but cnt find them | 12:32 |
| GNUtoo | By the way the computer is an HP with windows 7,and has 4 partitions used...and I want a swap partition for performance reasons...how can I handle that? I create the fifth extended partition and put rootfs and swap inside? | 12:32 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: You need the KDE development libs | 12:32 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, i have that :) | 12:33 |
| MASARUwota | GNUtoo: you already have a swap partition, ubuntu requires one ;/ | 12:33 |
| Twinkletoes|W | GNUtoo: The extended partition has to be one of the 4 primary partitions. You can create your "logical" partitions inside the extended one | 12:33 |
| indus | dont zap is nonsense | 12:33 |
| LP | IPv6 disabled in Ubuntu 9.10, IPv6 (AAAA) DNS queries are still being performed.... on another computer with an older Ubuntu and IPv6 enabled, only IPv4 (A) DNS queries are performed... should I reinstall Ubuntu 8.x? | 12:33 |
| MASARUwota | !alsa|zozo | 12:33 |
| geirha | nelson_: Is there a problem with the kaffeine packages in the repos? | 12:33 |
| ubottu | zozo: 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 | 12:33 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, i got it doing apt-get install kde-devels | 12:33 |
| GNUtoo | Twinkletoes|W, ah ok I thought the limit was 5 primary....sorry | 12:33 |
| indus | cant we do this from keyboard shortcuts? | 12:33 |
| indus | Dr_Willis: | 12:33 |
| Twinkletoes|W | GNUtoo: And yes, you can have swap/rootfs in the extended partitions, but grub will still need to be installed to the MBR | 12:33 |
| nelson_ | geirha, i dont think so why? | 12:33 |
| GNUtoo | Twinkletoes|W, ok | 12:33 |
| legend2440 | indus: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-enabledisable-ctrlaltbackspace-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic.html | 12:34 |
| geirha | nelson_: Just wondering why you are trying to build it yourself | 12:34 |
| boritek | hello | 12:34 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: are they in your path? Because configure can't find them.... hence why it fails | 12:34 |
| GNUtoo | basically I don't know windows 7 or hp at all...I'll pastebin the partition layout | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: thers some gnome keyboard settings somewhere that can enable it. I recall | 12:34 |
| geirha | nelson_: apt-get build-dep kaffeine # will probably fix you up | 12:34 |
| centerpoint | how can I use screen keyboard? | 12:34 |
| nelson_ | geirha, you wont find it compiled | 12:34 |
| wvd | So I'm installing sBNC, it tells me that it's installing at /home/sbnc, but it installs at #/sbnc I think, how does this come? | 12:34 |
| nelson_ | geirha, done that build dep also | 12:35 |
| boritek | i have poppy sounds in games like Smokin Guns and Regnum Online, in the latter the sound goes off totally in the end. How can i fix it? | 12:35 |
| giacominomarley8 | ciao | 12:35 |
| boritek | Sound should be such a basic stuff!! | 12:35 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, how do i see if they are in the path? | 12:35 |
| boritek | very important | 12:35 |

| intel_Inside | Hello there to everyone | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | boritek: tell that to the hardware makers... what game is giving you the issues>? all games? all wine games? | 12:35 |
| GNUtoo | mmm cat /proc/partitions or fdisk -l don't give the labels | 12:35 |
| matteo1990 | How to know witch IP i have to insert in the ifconfig command? | 12:35 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: echo $PATH | 12:35 |
| GNUtoo | but gparted does | 12:36 |
| boritek | Dr_Willis: linux games, e.g. the ones i mentions above: Smokin Guns, and Regnum Online | 12:36 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, i got this /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 12:36 |
| boritek | these are cross platform games, native to linux | 12:36 |
| Dr_Willis | boritek: never heard of them. so are they written in java or anything else special>? how about a game like quakelive? | 12:37 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: there is no lib in there. | 12:37 |
| Shogoot | hi people. is it possible to copy a block of cells 3x3 with forumlas from one sheet to another sheet in same document? Using oppenoffice CALC | 12:37 |
| boritek | Dr_Willis: no not java, i guess its C | 12:37 |
| geirha | nelson_: aptitude search 'kdelibs.*-dev' # Any of those installed? | 12:37 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, so how should i put lib in there? | 12:37 |
| boritek | and pulseaudio should be the culprit in my opinion | 12:37 |
| boritek | or alsa | 12:37 |
| Slart | Shogoot: have you tried? | 12:37 |
| MASARUwota | Shogoot: i think this is more of a #openoffice.org question | 12:37 |
| crankyadmin | yeah... /usr/local/lib | 12:37 |
| boritek | but in prevoius ubuntu there havent been such a problem | 12:38 |
| crankyadmin | and /usr/lib | 12:38 |
| Shogoot | MASARUwota gotcha. theyr not responding at all ;) | 12:38 |
| boritek | where pulseaudio werent defualted | 12:38 |
| MASARUwota | Shogoot: like always :X | 12:38 |
| Slart | Shogoot: or do you have a reason to believe it isn't possible? | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Pulse audio ha been the default since 9.04 i belive not sure about earlier. | 12:38 |
| zozo | MAS | 12:38 |
| MASARUwota | Shogoot:doesnt copy and paste do that tho? | 12:39 |
| MASARUwota | zoz | 12:39 |
| boritek | Dr_Willis: yes, before that sound was good but since then there are a lot of issues | 12:39 |
| nelson_ | geirha, http://pastebin.com/m123a19a9 yes | 12:39 |
| zozo | MASARUwota: it looks like java used OSS | 12:39 |
| Shogoot | MASARUwota it dont. it does copy the formula, but it link the number th the sheet its beeing moved to. so if theres no number in say C3 the formula from gets broken | 12:40 |

| crankyadmin | moreece: Boot of disc, chroot into you install. | 12:43 |
| wvd | Dr_Willis: I can launch it tho, but with this error: You cannot run shroudBNC as 'root' or using an account which has 'wheel' privileges. Use an ordinary user account and remove the suid bit if it is set. - Normally I just could run it with root. | 12:43 |

| Dr_Willis | wvd: so your user name is 'sbnc' ? | 12:43 |

| kickar_ | Dr_Willis, i would like it on boot . not on log in | 12:44 |
| wvd | Dr_Willis: I need to make an account somehow, but how and with what permissions? | 12:44 |
| Zlobi | moreece, on your risk, but here, after I repeated exactly my previous install, I had most of the stuff untouched | 12:44 |
| moreece | no for some reason I cant even boot into my terminal | 12:44 |
| crankyadmin | moreece: Boot of install disc. and Chroot to your install, run grub-install and pray | 12:44 |
| indus | i have ATI driver and its nice | 12:44 |
| jrgp | manjula: upgrade to a more recent version of ubuntu. they include better video card support | 12:44 |
| indus | crankyadmin: how do you expect someone to know whats chroot | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | kickar_: that makes no sence.. Unless you want it to appear on the GDM login screen. since it is an X app with a GUI. | 12:44 |
| DarkWell | MASARUwota, well thats you opinion | 12:44 |
| MASARUwota | DarkWell: yeah | 12:44 |
| Daughain | indus: Where did ya find the ATI drver? | 12:45 |

| indus | ATI/AMD LINUX DRIVER 9.12 RELEASED | 12:45 |

| DarkWell | well irssi is crap | 12:45 |
| Daughain | Wooho. | 12:45 |
| manjula | jrgp, well if the resolution worked in previous version in this one it shuld work like that ? dont you think so ? i have a intel onboard 945gsm graphihc card | 12:45 |
| moreece | grub install not found .... great | 12:45 |
| Zlobi | moreece, on your risk, but here, after I repeated exactly my previous install, I had most of the stuff untouched | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | DarkWell: i perfer weechat 0./3./0 these days | 12:45 |
| wvd | Dr_Willis: Right, but it can't have a 'wheel' permission or something | 12:45 |
| indus | the installer is million times better than nvidia | 12:45 |
| DarkWell | anyways it wont lead to anything by saying so | 12:45 |
| Zlobi | Hello, I need help with sudo make install, I would like a custom path like sudo make install /usr/local/etc/ices (yep, installing ices, it says "No rule to make target ..path.. Stop.") 10x << Ubuntu 9.10 | 12:45 |

| GNUtoo | MASARUwota, http://pastebin.com/m53d3a490 <- which partition should I backup and remove...I bet I should keep SYSTEM and backup and remove recovery? | 12:45 |
| MASARUwota | Dr_Willis: weechat is based on irssi | 12:45 |
| DarkWell | my comment is to try to contribute to the development of ubuntu packages | 12:46 |
| crankyadmin | moreece: grub-install not grub install | 12:46 |
| crankyadmin | moreece: but wait! | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | MASARUwota: actuaklly the weechat guys would dissagree i belive.. and it has features not in irssi. | 12:46 |
| GNUtoo | MASARUwota, and I bet tar wouldn't work as backup tool | 12:46 |
| DarkWell | so its pretty up to date with what i know about tcl and xchat | 12:46 |

| crankyadmin | moreece: have you chrooted? | 12:46 |
| moreece | grub-install -> /bin/sh: grunb-install: not found | 12:46 |
| MASARUwota | Dr_Willis: thats what i heard, dunno | 12:46 |
| moreece | I am root, this is from the rescue prompt | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | and irssi was based on whatever.. that was based on whatever.. and based on 'irc' .... and so on for ever and ever. | 12:46 |
| GNUtoo | MASARUwota, ok thanks can I also remove RECOVERY? | 12:46 |
| moreece | # | 12:46 |
| indus | whats a chroot | 12:46 |
| Ziber | Didnt prompt me to make a new root password tho | 12:46 |
| kickar_ | Dr_Willis, there is a gtk, but there is also a daemon .... | 12:46 |
| Daughain | indus: A long cigar. | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | MASARUwota: weechat has many features not in irssi. :) ive dumped irssi. | 12:46 |
| Zlobi | indus try chroot --help | 12:46 |
| DarkWell | i use xchat or my own tcl written client | 12:47 |
| crankyadmin | moreece: no..... chroot | 12:47 |
| indus | Daughain: yes thats what they say here too chiroot | 12:47 |
| DarkWell | for irc | 12:47 |
| MASARUwota | GNUtoo: yes, but make sure to disable hp tools in your bios, or youlll get stupid messages during boot | 12:47 |
| kickar_ | Dr_Willis, i need to get the daemon running when user is not logged in so i can monitor my server from my workstation | 12:47 |
| moreece | chroot to what? | 12:47 |
| Slart | Shogoot: try paste special.. there's a checkbox for "link".. that should insert the sheet reference as well | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | kickar_: never noticed. If its a service ya would think it would setup to start automatically. or start it from /etc/rc.local i guess | 12:47 |

| MrCatEye | i think | 12:52 |
| indus | isolat3sh33p: both are front ends to dpkg | 12:52 |
| MrCatEye | u have categories | 12:52 |
| MrCatEye | its like synaptic but for console | 12:52 |
| knecht | isolat3sh33p: apt is older, both can basically do the same things. use aptitude | 12:52 |
| isolat3sh33p | MrCatEye: I thought you use it in the terminal. :/ | 12:52 |

| isolat3sh33p | knecht: But apt seems easier. | 12:53 |
| crankyadmin | your error you posted means something as gone tits up with grub. grub-install should fix it. | 12:53 |

| Aijse | does anyone see a page when they go to aijse.no-ip.biz? just a test thanks | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Slart: semaphore! | 13:06 |
| Slart | Dr_Willis: there's probably a rfc for that too =) | 13:06 |
| nelson_ | how can i fix this stupid error? | 13:06 |
| langley | on icq | 13:07 |
| jt1234 | i need to prevent a keyring access request for nm-applet popping up, someone suggested I delete the keyring and make a new one with a blank password. Is there a gui to do this? | 13:07 |
| langley | I'm using UTF-8 | 13:07 |
| ScarFreewill | hi, I'm looking for something like webmin. According to the community documentation it does not work under debian based distro's | 13:07 |
| langley | isnt that supposed to work? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | ScarFreewill: it can work.. but is considered insecure/unsecure and not safe even.. :() | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !ebox | 13:07 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 13:07 |
| indus | jt1234: yes go to accessories > passwords and encryptions | 13:07 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: I've forgot what your problem was | 13:07 |
| crankyadmin | enlighten me. | 13:07 |
| Slart | langley: probably something with the icq client.. I've used internation characters lots of times using pidgin.. with windows users and what not.. it has always worked ok | 13:08 |

| indus | you pasting so i looking Leoneof`? | 13:08 |
| ScarFreewill | Dr_Willis: do you use it yourself? I was hoping for a personal opinion. It's obvoisly better just to configure the things myself right? | 13:08 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: Oh yeah.... did you add /usr/local/lib & /usr/lib to your path? | 13:08 |
| nelson_ | crankyadmin, how can i add that? | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a video of how to change the 'keyring' password at http://drop.io/dr_willis indus and Leoneof` if thats what you are doing. | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ScarFreewill: i dont need it. any admin type tasks i do.. i can just do vya the shell | 13:09 |

| Dr_Willis | Johnaha: you are missuising terms.. C++ is not a 'visual' there are tools to help build C++ apps with a nice GUI builder. | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Johnaha: Pythion can do GUI type programs. and theres proverly some ides for it also. | 13:20 |
| Johnaha | great | 13:20 |
| MASARUwota | family: nobody uses ppcs anymore. youll probably run into compatibility problems with a system like ubuntu. imo | 13:20 |
| filipje1993 | anyone has experience with installing stepmania on kubuntu :/ | 13:20 |

| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 13:42 |
| chilli0 | Hello why does this happen ? http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1067 ( the alert is up second down somehow ) | 13:42 |
| th3_b0b | MASARUwota: U sure it is? Then why can I run it without a JRE installed? | 13:42 |
| Scott__ | remember the days of msn chat the moderater bots werent even this quick | 13:42 |
| elky | Quan-Time, that sort of attitude is not welcome here either. please read the guidelines wiki page. | 13:42 |
| Leoneof` | there are dpkg working in the background, how to kill it? | 13:43 |
| Leoneof` | o.O | 13:43 |
| Johnaha | sudo kill | 13:43 |
| lexsoOr | Scott_: yeah | 13:43 |
| j416 | wow is this ubuntu? | 13:43 |
| Johnaha | LOL (I dunno) | 13:43 |
| Leoneof` | name it | 13:43 |
| j416 | it was such a long time I saw the ubuntu gui last time.. | 13:43 |
| j416 | kde? | 13:43 |
| Kottizen | Quan-Time: I think he's an operator in this channel and want to show his power. | 13:43 |
| chilli0 | j416, Are you talkin to me ? | 13:43 |
| family | the default gui for ubuntu is Gnome | 13:43 |
| j416 | I was just asking generally | 13:44 |
| chadi | Hi. Sorry for re-asking, I got no reply. I have windows 7 pre-installed on my laptop. I would like to install ubuntu in parallel, but I do not want grub to be my MBR; in other words, I want windows to have the MBR where I have 2 choices, either windows 7, or ubuntu grub. Does anyone know if this can be done, and how? | 13:44 |
| crankyadmin | Johnaha: http://imgur.com/VLXYn.png | 13:44 |
| j416 | your screenshot looks nic | 13:44 |
| j416 | nice* | 13:44 |
| lexsoOr | j416: :D lol yeah thats ubuntu | 13:44 |
| airtonix | !who | j416 | 13:44 |
| ubottu | j416: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 13:44 |
| family | but it also has a lot of other desktop interfaces as well | 13:44 |
| judgen | Hi im looking for a way to not show any apps that uses mono in the repos. How do i achieve that? | 13:44 |
| nobbit_the_crc | Lottizen - any suggestion? | 13:44 |
| j416 | airtonix: apparently it didn't get lost | 13:44 |
| Scott__ | power and authority | 13:44 |
| edulacomadreja | hi! i'm having a really weird problem with my ethernet connection | 13:44 |
| nobbit_the_crc | *Kottizen | 13:44 |
| j416 | airtonix: and it was a general question for anyone to answer :) | 13:44 |
| Quan-Time | Kottizen: elky still going ? already made my ignore list.. its called maturity.. just ignore em.. mucho easy.. | 13:44 |
| Kottizen | nobbit_the_crc: Hmm, nope, I'm sorry. :( | 13:44 |
| r00t_ | hi im trying to install world of padman and it keeps giving me the error "no perrmissiont o write to usr/locla/games. how would i fix this. | 13:44 |
| Myrtti | Quan-Time: move on yourself | 13:45 |
| nobbit_the_crc | me too lol | 13:45 |
| Kottizen | Quan-Time: Good idea, didn't think about that, thank you. | 13:45 |
| airtonix | j416, also try to keep your msgs on one line | 13:45 |
| j416 | !tab | airtonix | 13:45 |
| ubottu | airtonix: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 13:45 |
| Quan-Time | :) | 13:45 |
| j416 | hm | 13:45 |
| Johnaha | Hmm, must be a plugin. I dont have it. | 13:45 |
| Myrtti | Kottizen, Quan-Time in general ignoring operators is a Bad Idea | 13:45 |
| sarthorks | when i boot by manually appending acpi=off before boot, i can see my battery stats and suspend is possible. if however i make a permanent change to menu.lst by appending acpi=off, both the battery stats as well as suspend features get turned off. What is the difference between these two approaches? | 13:45 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: i looked at your image, im not sure what im ment to be seeing | 13:45 |
| edulacomadreja | i already tried: $sudo dhclient eth0 | 13:45 |
| edulacomadreja | and it works | 13:45 |
| airtonix | j416, yes i am well aware how tab completion works thanks :) | 13:45 |
| Leoneof` | indus? | 13:46 |
| edulacomadreja | and... | 13:46 |
| kanzie | I need to be able to send mail from php to my external smtp with TLS-auth. How can I do this? | 13:46 |
| j416 | airtonix: I didn't know what !tab was, the message told me to use it so I tried. :) | 13:46 |
| chilli0 | Quan-Time, Top right The alert isnt at top | 13:46 |
| Johnaha | btw, what are u using? looks sleek =) | 13:46 |
| edulacomadreja | oh well, bye people | 13:46 |
| crankyadmin | Johnaha: though it was monodevelop-python (thats what it is in OpenSUSE) If you can find it, try it you'll never look back. | 13:46 |
| j416 | ok, so I will try again. Is this (gui chilli0 posted) kde? | 13:46 |
| Johnaha | ok. | 13:46 |
| airtonix | j416, if you want to test out the bot commands i reccomend sending it a private message where you can experiment with it in private | 13:46 |
| creature | When I do manage to break out my crypto disks from this problem, I get "ginit: upstart-udev-bridge main process (481_ terminated with status 1." So that seems to be the root problem. Though I don't know what this is. | 13:46 |
| r00t_ | hi im trying to install world of padman and it keeps giving me the error "no perrmissiont o write to usr/locla/games. how would i fix this. | 13:47 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: what alert.. the motorola connection one ? | 13:47 |
| manjula | sorry i am having some problems with my Internet.... .. my problem is i have ubuntu 9.10 installed and its maximums resolution i can change from system--> prefe--> display is 800x600. i want to use it in 1024x768 resolution. my graphich card is 82G33/G31 Express | 13:47 |
| zoug | r00t_: try sudo | 13:47 |
| judgen | I wish to make sure im no "covered" by the new patent deal from microsoft. How do i make sure i have nothing using mono on the system, and i wish not to be able to install it either. | 13:47 |
| j416 | airtonix: well, you basically told me through that message to use !tab, and I did, using the same syntax as you did. :) | 13:47 |
| j416 | sorry. | 13:47 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: correct drivers ? usual suspect | 13:47 |
| chilli0 | j416, Thats gnome | 13:47 |
| r00t_ | zoug: r00t@Public-WiFi:~/Desktop$ sudo worldofpadman.run | 13:47 |
| r00t_ | sudo: worldofpadman.run: command not found | 13:47 |
| j416 | chilli0: oh .. cool. Default? | 13:47 |
| chilli0 | Quan-Time, Yes . It shouldnt be there ( it should be up ) | 13:48 |
| airtonix | j416, no the general point of the !who message is to notify people that prefixing names helps reduce the confusion in the channel | 13:48 |
| chilli0 | j416, Yep | 13:48 |
| crankyadmin | r00t_: ./worldetctetc.run | 13:48 |
| j416 | airtonix: I am aware. Thank you. | 13:48 |
| soopos | How can you add a bash-script to Gnome session manager? | 13:48 |
| hebz0rl | i installed lighttpd under ubuntu 9.10 and want to limit the www-user so he can only access the /var/www folder. how can i do that? | 13:48 |
| zoug | r00t_: try that | 13:48 |
| j416 | chilli0: neat.. might check out ubuntu again then for a desktop :) | 13:48 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, i have installe xserver-xorg-intel | 13:48 |
| airtonix | soopos, pretty much the same way you would in a desktop launcher | 13:48 |
| Johnaha | crankyadmin: I cant find it | 13:49 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: umm.. im not sure of the exact way to mod it honestly. theres prolly some setting to give it a new cord.. but i cant help. its only there for like 3 secs max tho isnt it ? | 13:49 |
| crankyadmin | Johnaha: hold up I'll have a\ look. | 13:49 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: and have you manually added any new res sizes to your xorg.conf file ? | 13:49 |
| r00t_ | zoug: still saying it has failed permissions... | 13:49 |
| r00t_ | crankyadmin: ^^ | 13:49 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, there is no xorg file | 13:49 |
| zoug | r00t_: make it executable by its properties | 13:49 |
| Johnaha | k | 13:49 |
| soopos | airtonix: How can you add a bash script to a desktop launcher? | 13:50 |
| crankyadmin | r00t_: chmod +x worldetcetc.run | 13:50 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: umm. ok | 13:50 |
| kanzie | I need to be able to send mail from php to my external smtp with TLS-auth. Is this possible? | 13:50 |
| Myrtti | soopos: create a launcher for a terminal application that runs the script | 13:50 |
| airtonix | soopos, notice the "command" field ? it expects a absolute path to the script. | 13:50 |
| chilli0 | Quan-Time, Look here Its something with gnome | 13:50 |
| soopos | Myrtti: How can you create a launcher? | 13:51 |
| filipje1993 | how do i open .run files? | 13:51 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?? | 13:51 |
| crankyadmin | Johnaha: Should be some help to you. http://audidude.com/blog/?p=49 :D | 13:51 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, there is not such file | 13:51 |
| Slart | filipje1993: try "sh blabla.run" | 13:51 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, there is no such file | 13:51 |
| airtonix | soopos, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/35078/screenshot_003_0gVdtP.png | 13:51 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: interesting. | 13:51 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, yeah thats the problem | 13:52 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: ok.. umm.. im honestly not sure. | 13:52 |
| zoug | r00t_: you can do it by right-clicking it and then select properties and then check the "allow exexuting.." OR chmod 755 worldofpadman.run | 13:52 |
| shashike | hi all | 13:52 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: so your in gnome / kde / some environment currently ? | 13:52 |
| airtonix | soopos, you need to make sure your script has the correct enviroment engine header. | 13:52 |
| manjula | gnome | 13:52 |
| manjula | Quan-Time, gnome | 13:52 |
| Johnaha | reading | 13:53 |
| soopos | airtonix: How can you start up the given program from terminal | 13:53 |
| chilli0 | Quan-Time, Let me show ya See where the volume is ? Thats where the other alert should be http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=76346 | 13:53 |
| Quan-Time | kk. umm.. not a intel gfx user so im honestly not sure. tried the forums ? | 13:53 |
| shashike | can some one suggest ubuntu vs mint | 13:53 |
| john11 | hi | 13:53 |
| crankyadmin | shashike: OpenSUSE | 13:53 |
| filipje1993 | Slart: cant open blabla.run | 13:54 |
| shashike | why openSUSE>> | 13:54 |
| airtonix | soopos, 1) script needs appropriate script engine header, 2) script needs its executable bit set on 3) simply enter the path and file to the script and press enter (or just the filename if you are in the same directory as the script ) | 13:54 |
| john11 | is it possible to have latest version of software, without update to new release, for example i have 8.10 but want to install pidgin 2.6.4 , | 13:54 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: heh. its an alert.. its incase something else is there.. so its perm lower. you can swap them around, but i dont think they can occupy the same space.. incase you have the vol slider up, and you get some alert.. its to prevent conflicts im guessing | 13:54 |
| crankyadmin | shashike: Dosen't treat you like you dumb. | 13:54 |
| Quan-Time | chilli0: i cant 100% guarantee that, BUT its a fairly safe bet | 13:54 |
| Slyone | Hey guys, i want to make my panel transparent, but the pidgin icon has white background, can i change that? | 13:55 |
| zoug | john11: ofcourse you can chk synaptic if it has it | 13:55 |
| devD | I have errors while starting karmic. please have a look in this pic and read not too http://twitpic.com/uheqf | 13:55 |
| airtonix | soopos, maybe this will help you start : http://www.go2linux.org/starting-with-shell-script | 13:55 |
| Slart | filipje1993: then you've probably spelled it wrong or something.. Blabla isn't the same as blabla in linux | 13:55 |
| Slart | filipje1993: use tab to autocomplete.. | 13:55 |
| filipje1993 | ? | 13:55 |
| soopos | airtonix: It is gnome-session-properties | 13:55 |
| Slyone | Hey guys, i want to make my panel transparent, but the pidgin icon has white background, can i change that? | 13:56 |
| airtonix | soopos, yes that is what you run for the session editor.. | 13:56 |
| john11 | zoug: no new version availabe at add remove software | 13:56 |
| airtonix | Slyone, re-compile pidgn with your own options | 13:56 |
| Quan-Time | Slyone: yes.. you can manually choose its icon.. if you grab some icon you want.. say google images.. edit it in gimp, set a "alpha" channel.. and it will be transperant | 13:56 |
| epinky | Slyone: I don't think that's possible, maybe recompiling pidgin from source | 13:56 |
| kanzie | noone knows about mail and tls-auth | 13:56 |
| Quan-Time | ive done it with utorrent and RUSHftp,, works fine | 13:57 |
| Slyone | But the icon is not a shortcut | 13:57 |
| Quan-Time | true.. you can edit the icon it uses | 13:57 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, unfortunatly not all programs behave this way | 13:57 |
| zoug | john11: download the latest from the website | 13:57 |
| manjula | ??????????????????? | 13:57 |
| Quan-Time | serious ? thats weird.. | 13:57 |
| Quan-Time | sorry for the dud info ! | 13:57 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, yes (it would be desired) | 13:57 |
| CQ | is http://packages.ubuntu.com/ down ? | 13:57 |
| Quan-Time | ive done it twice, worked fine each time.. err.. umm.. honestly not sure then | 13:57 |
| Quan-Time | i use pidgin, but i dont click it.. it just starts in my session.. no worries | 13:58 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, some do so its not totally misleading | 13:58 |
| heterosankari | yep its down. CQ | 13:58 |
| Quan-Time | and it matches my setup scheme.. | 13:58 |
| Johnaha | wont let me install, other dependices conflicts? | 13:58 |
| Quan-Time | airtonix: still.. not nice when i give advice and its wrong | 13:58 |
| crankyadmin | CQ: Its up.... | 13:59 |
| CQ | heterosankari: is there any other way to find out what the latest virtualbox version isß I have 3.0.12 installed, on teh website 3.1.2 is out ... | 13:59 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, its not really because of the icon though, its how the apps sets itself up in the system tray. | 13:59 |
| Johnaha | damn, im gonna choose a diffrent ide. | 13:59 |
| CQ | crankyadmin: weird... maybe it's just eternally slow today | 14:00 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, other annoying apps the at do this : beagle, gMusicBrowser, various panel applets... | 14:00 |
| crankyadmin | CQ: It is slow..... | 14:00 |
| Quan-Time | oh wait.. pidgin is a LIVE icon thing. it changes per your status, etc.. | 14:00 |
| Quan-Time | prolly why you cant do anything about it | 14:00 |
| Quan-Time | makes sense now | 14:00 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, no. see above. those status icons come from your icon theme | 14:01 |
| Quan-Time | airtonix: serious ? weird. either way. | 14:01 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, vis : http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/35079/screenshot_004_HckC8n.png | 14:01 |
| Scott__ | is anyone using testdrive and testing Lucid | 14:02 |
| Quan-Time | airtonix: weird. that would drive me nuts | 14:02 |
| Slart | Scott__: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 14:03 |
| airtonix | Quan-Time, true, i gave up long time ago wanting a transparent panel. | 14:03 |
| Scott__ | ok | 14:03 |
| manjula | sorry i am having some problems with my Internet.... .. my problem is i have ubuntu 9.10 installed and its maximums resolution i can change from system--> prefe--> display is 800x600. i want to use it in 1024x768 resolution. my graphich card is 82G33/G31 Express | 14:03 |
| judgen | airtonix, you could use awn and make it fold out like the panel. | 14:03 |
| judgen | t4 | 14:03 |
| airtonix | judgen, i use docky instead. | 14:03 |
| imagodei | hello ppl | 14:04 |
| indus | !who | 14:04 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:04 |
| indus | manjula: | 14:04 |
| Slart | manjula: check the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. it lists what X thinks of your graphics card, monitor and so on | 14:04 |
| imagodei | linux noob here, got two problems currently | 14:04 |
| imagodei | working on 9.04 servre | 14:04 |
| imagodei | server* | 14:04 |
| airtonix | imachine, keep it on one line please | 14:04 |
| indus | manjula: maybe try manually adding the resolution to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:04 |
| airtonix | imagodei, ^^^ | 14:05 |
| imagodei | K :) | 14:05 |
| manjula | indus, how do i manually create xorg.conf ? | 14:05 |
| indus | manjula: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf its already created just edit it | 14:06 |
| jas72z | is there anyway to make my lcd monitor run at 75hz im using ati hd3850 card with ati driver can only get 60hz | 14:06 |
| jas72z | im using karmic | 14:06 |
| Spage | After upgrade to 9.10 I have a Java game wich wont quit normaly. Often it leaves a "sleeping" java process using 100% cpu | 14:06 |
| indus | jas72z: have you installed proprietary driver | 14:06 |
| manjula | there is not xorg.conf file | 14:06 |
| judgen | jas72z, why do you want faster refresh rate? is your screen not progressive? | 14:06 |
| manjula | indieross, there is not xorg.conf file | 14:06 |
| jas72z | indus yes 9.10 | 14:06 |
| Quan-Time | manjula: still ? weird | 14:07 |
| MASARUwota | !bye | 14:07 |
| ubottu | Au revoir! | 14:07 |
| indus | manjula: then create | 14:07 |
| imagodei | so... it's bugging me with continuous "reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smbd only" message. I have DHCP enabled on two ifaces, one is not connected | 14:07 |
| indus | manjula: aah do this, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:07 |
| manjula | ok | 14:07 |
| Quan-Time | good idea indus | 14:07 |
| Quan-Time | but why would no xorg file bxe there ? | 14:07 |
| jas72z | judgen u had nvidia card that gave 75hz its not essential but would have been nice to have the option | 14:07 |
| Quan-Time | -x | 14:07 |
| zoug | manjula: you can get help by typing man xorg.conf if you plan to create one | 14:07 |
| Myrtti | Quan-Time: it's created on the fly | 14:08 |
| judgen | jas72z, true. | 14:08 |
| manjula | indus, i did dpkg-reconfig bt still it doesnt show a xorg file in my /etc/X11 | 14:09 |
| manjula | folder | 14:09 |
| linduxed | in karmic, why isnt the gvim command present when i install vim? | 14:09 |
| devD | hello is there anyone to solve my problem ^^ | 14:10 |
| linduxed | and secondly, what do i do to install gvim? | 14:10 |
| Slart | !find gvim | 14:10 |
| ubottu | Found: vim-gnome, vim-gtk | 14:10 |
| manjula | indus, http://pastebin.com/m209e1459 | 14:10 |
| Quan-Time | Myrtti: true, but how can you be in a x session without having a xorg.conf file ? thats the part i dont understand, and cant troubleshoot | 14:10 |
| imagodei | OK, here's everything in one line: 9.04 Server, DHCP enabled on two interfaces. Every 5 minutes or so I see "reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smbd only" message in console. I wanna make it stop. Anyone? | 14:10 |
| manjula | indus, this is my /var/log/Xorg,0.log | 14:11 |
| Slart | linduxed: install vim-gnome.. or vim-gtk | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | X can auto configure now - it dosent alsays need a xorg.conf | 14:11 |
| Ziber | How can I completely remove mysql-server and reinstall it on a clean slate? | 14:11 |
| nelson_ | how do i add a folder to the path? | 14:11 |
| coz_ | imagodei, if no one can answer here try the ##linux channel :) | 14:11 |
| linduxed | Slart: thx | 14:11 |
| Quan-Time | Dr_Willis: ohhh... that i didnt know.. cheers :) | 14:11 |
| Myrtti | linduxed: most people use vim on the commandline without the gtk frontend. That's why it's not installed by default | 14:11 |
| Quan-Time | ill remember that | 14:11 |
| Slart | linduxed: I have no idea why it isn't installed together with plain vim.. perhaps both kubuntu and ubuntu use the same base package | 14:11 |
| indus | manjula: to create any file in linux, just touch filename | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nelson_: export PATH=$PATH:/new/path/to/add | 14:11 |
| indus | manjula: for system files, sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:12 |
| crankyadmin | Spage: Welcome to the world of bad Java programming. | 14:12 |
| indus | manjula: how do you know there is no xorg | 14:12 |
| Ziber | nelson_: if you want it to be added everytime you login, add it to ~/.profile | 14:12 |
| indus | manjula: did gedit give you some warning? | 14:12 |
| Ziber | How can I completely remove mysql-server and reinstall it on a clean slate? | 14:12 |
| manjula | indus, coz i am looking at the folder in the terminal | 14:12 |
| indus | Quan-Time: yeah karmic has changed a lot, no need of xorg thses days | 14:12 |
| indus | manjula: which folder | 14:12 |
| manjula | /etc/X11 | 14:13 |
| Slart | Ziber: apt-get purge or synaptic completely remove | 14:13 |
| Quan-Time | saaameeeet | 14:13 |
| indus | manjula:and what do u see | 14:13 |
| Quan-Time | oops | 14:13 |
| nelson_ | Dr_Willis, export unkown comand | 14:13 |
| crankyadmin | nelson_: echo $SHELL | 14:13 |
| manjula | indus, now i created the empty xorg file | 14:14 |

| coz_ | jdhp, which files? | 14:38 |
| Slart | !sudo | jdhp | 14:38 |
| ubottu | jdhp: 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) | 14:38 |
| coz_ | jdhp, you can open a terminal and type sudo nautilus if you are on gnome or sudo dolphin on kde | 14:38 |
| Slart | coz, jdhp: never use sudo with gui stuff.. use gksudo instead | 14:39 |
| jdhp | like i want to get to my themes folder so can add some but i need to be in root | 14:39 |
| DaZ | coz_: using sudo instead of gksu on graphical apps is a blasphemy | 14:39 |
| DaZ | dunno why though :f | 14:39 |
| Slart | !gksudo | 14:39 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:39 |
| Slart | check the link there at the end | 14:39 |

| scunizi | richthegeek1: pidgin isn't a good irc client.. sudo apt-get install xchat for gui or irssi for cli | 14:58 |
| scunizi | crankyadmin: :) | 14:58 |
| Huckfh | hi all guys | 14:58 |
| Polysics | btw, more frivolous question: where can i get a decent theme for gnome, and which type of theme am i looking for? | 14:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I reccomend WeeChat for CLI :) | 14:58 |
| Myrtti | richthegeek1: I believe there's a plugin for pidgin to allow you to ignore the joins and parts | 14:58 |
| richthegeek1 | scuzini: "gedit isn't a good text editor use vim" - personal choice | 14:58 |
| richthegeek1 | myrtti: grawity pmed me already, thankyou though | 14:59 |
| Huckfh | someone can help me with Amule configuration? | 14:59 |
| jt1234 | grawity: done it , it worked, big thanks to you. :D | 14:59 |
| benjamin__ | Ah finally. Well, i recently bought an Wifi USB Stick. But i can't get it to work with my Ubuntu. I'm an Ubuntu beginner but I tried much things but nothing worked. | 14:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Polysics: theres 100's of theme and theme parts you can play with. Look for gnome-look and gnome-lookng programs they help automate installing new themes | 14:59 |
| Polysics | vim! pah! i set the bits on my hard disk by hand, with a magnet! | 14:59 |
| scunizi | richthegeek1: not the same thing.. pigin is a terrific IM client.. not a good IRC client.. | 14:59 |
| crankyadmin | benjamin__: What vendor and model is it? | 14:59 |
| richthegeek1 | scuzini: it outputs text and lets me chat in mulitple clients... I stick to rooms with < 50 people usually so it works fine | 15:00 |
| benjamin__ | I got an Sweex LW053 | 15:00 |
| * crankyadmin will not have a bad thing said against vim! | 15:00 | |

| MAEL | hi, for some reason I uninstalled, and reinstalled evolution on my laptop, now on the mail icon on the upper panel, there is only empathy and no evolution, how can I get evolution back inside that mail tab? | 15:01 |

| Polysics | you know him? | 15:03 |
| wastrel | i'm not an xkcd fan | 15:04 |
| richthegeek1 | Polysics: are you sure its not a base10/base2 conversion thing going on? | 15:04 |
| Myrtti | let's keep the offtopic at #ubuntu-offtopic, people ;-) | 15:04 |
| richthegeek1 | Polysics: we used to chat a bit, not anymore :( | 15:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Polysics: part of the ram is reserved for system hardware 'space' so you always loose a little bit. but 1gb seems high. | 15:04 |
| richthegeek1 | Myrtti: k | 15:04 |
| Huckfh | what is it best p2p program for Ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| Polysics | Dr_Willis and richthegeek1, my point too... not talking about a few Mbs | 15:04 |
| MAEL | is it difficult to get evolution back in the mail tab in the upper right hand of the panel? | 15:05 |

| richthegeek1 | creature: why encrypt your swap? | 15:22 |
| bzSmari | richthegeek1, I upgraded to Karmic Koala on my EeePC 1005HA and since then the wireless hasn't worked. I've followed various guides to no avail. Currently the driver is loaded (ath9k, it's an AR9285 device), but the device is "not ready". | 15:22 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: just interested, don't have a clue how long it should take to swapon | 15:22 |
| inkbottle | richthegeek1, no difference: with the ps2 keyboard unplugged or unplugged, it is both the same output; I'll try that again later, for now I can't :) See you later | 15:22 |

| Polysics | that unfortunately died on me a while ago :-) | 15:23 |

| Norse_Nemo | Polysics, :P cool about to give it a tr I am hoping it works with both and with multiple devices | 15:23 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: protected memory spaces means nothing else can read it (technically), and swap gets wiped | 15:24 |
| salty | bzSmari, take a look at linux4one distro. I think they support that eeepc too | 15:24 |
| Polysics | i never had more than a single Apple device at a time :-) | 15:24 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: and if you a reasonable amount of RAM swap doesn't even get used | 15:24 |

| richthegeek1 | Dynetrekk: what model iPoD? | 15:26 |
| creature | richthegeek1: Ah, that's the joy of it, though! Because you never need to remount swap (it gets cleared on boot) you use /dev/urandom as the key. | 15:27 |
| Dynetrekk | richthegeek1: ipod nano, the wide one (before the current one I think) | 15:27 |
| Norse_Nemo | airtonix: I wasnt aware of any others the work with both | 15:27 |
| Dynetrekk | richthegeek1: does it matter? | 15:27 |
| richthegeek1 | Dynetrekk: rhythmbox can do it | 15:27 |

| trijntje | In Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing, how can I fix this? | 15:29 |
| Myrtti | richthegeek1, creature: some companies have a policy the computer harddrives have to be encrypted, no matter what OS is used. | 15:30 |
| creature | Anyway, my core question is as follows: my Ubuntu 9.10 system seems to 'stall' on boot due to something with my crypto disks (I have swap and /tmp encrypted using dmcrypt). I get "Starting init crypto disks..." then "cswap (starting)". Things seem to stall at this point. | 15:30 |
| richthegeek1 | Norse_Nemo: seriously, Rhythmbox only copies files over, doesn't do syncing... do you mean at the same time (both connected at same time) or simply on the same machine at different times? | 15:30 |
| creature | If I tap Ctrl+C, and escape, and enter a few times then it seems to 'unstall', and the system will start properly, complete with swap. But if I just leave it, it never starts. | 15:30 |
| chilli0 | trijntje, Done . Its 1min boot time thats sloww | 15:30 |
| creature | When I do manage to break out my crypto disks from this problem, I get "ginit: upstart-udev-bridge main process (481) terminated with status 1." | 15:30 |
| Myrtti | creature: did you upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic? | 15:30 |
| Buzzzz | do i have to install paudev to get karmic to output sound to 2 soundcards? | 15:30 |
| creature | No, this is a fresh install. | 15:30 |
| Machtin | with which tool can i edit pdf files? | 15:31 |
| r00t_ | each time i hit cntrl alt backspace my copmuter does something funny,whats up with that? | 15:31 |
| airtonix | Norse_Nemo, I know that songbird has ipod management plugin, and it seems that : http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/zune_support_with_songbird | 15:31 |
| Norse_Nemo | richthegeek1: same machine different times, for now I have aother user account for my Zune but I would like to do both on the same user account | 15:31 |
| richthegeek1 | r00t_: thats a global command for rebooting the X-server | 15:31 |
| Myrtti | creature: oh ok. I know there's a discrepancy on how the encryption issues are handled with upgraded systems | 15:31 |
| richthegeek1 | r00t_: useful for various reasons but probably something you dont want to do. You can disable it if you want to know how? | 15:31 |

| NoiseEee | how could i shut down apache on a particular day/time? i'm thinking a cron, but does the cron itself have "/usr/bin/service apache2 stop" or does the cron point to a bash file that has that command? | 15:32 |

| richthegeek1 | NoiseEee: point cron at a .sh file, or just call /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 15:32 |
| Daughain | yancho; On the windows box, is the firewall set for remote access?? I;ve had to go and manually set my windows box firewall to allow emote access on the local LAN. | 15:32 |
| grawity | NoiseEee: cron does not have any commands of its own, it just reads every line in your crontab and executes it as if you typed it. | 15:33 |

| pkkm | richthegeek1, yes, i know, but the matter is I don't like this new interface and want to return to the old, mixer-like one. | 15:34 |
| richthegeek1 | pkkm: not sure, might have been removed/replaced by this one | 15:34 |
| airtonix | Norse_Nemo, from memory i recall that banshee worked with my ipod (while it was still alive ) | 15:34 |
| Daughain | yancho: Do you have *any* firewall on the windows box?? And, if you are connected, then, whats the question...?? | 15:34 |
| trijntje | Hi all, since Karmic my sound gives a loud Crack just before it starts playing a song or sound, I didnt have that issue in Jaunty. What could cause this? | 15:35 |
| Norse_Nemo | airtronix: it does work with mine also, but it can only manage one device | 15:35 |
| richthegeek1 | god radiohead is depressing.... | 15:35 |
| Norse_Nemo | airtronix: you either get ipod or MTP cant have both on the same install | 15:35 |
| creature | I've justed booted with 'quiet splash' removed and 'verbose' instead. I don't think this gives me any useful info: I have an fsck telling me that / is clean, and ACPI message about I/O resource nForce2_smbus conflicts with ACPI region SM00, and error from nForce2_smbus: Error probing SMB2, and then acer-wmi: No or unsupported WMI interface, unable to load. | 15:36 |
| creature | Then "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted: (Esc for recovery shell) /tmp: waiting for /dev/mapper/ctmp, swap: waiting for /dev/mapper/cswap." And that's where the system is sitting. | 15:36 |
| Lungan | I have an audiobook on many diffrent .mp3 files, how do I put them together to one big mp3file? | 15:36 |
| yancho | Daughain: i want to connect via the command line to add it to /mount | 15:36 |
| creature | Lungan: It's a bit ghetto, but you can just concatenate them together. | 15:36 |
| richthegeek1 | creature : cat audiobook/* > audiobook.mp3 ? | 15:37 |
| Lungan | creature, How? I want them together so I just have one .mp3 file to transfer to my mp3player | 15:37 |
| noob_ | why file moving, copying, extracting,deleting files from trash took more time than windows in ubuntu ?? | 15:37 |
| creature | richthegeek1: Indeed. Lungan: As richthegeek says. | 15:37 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: wooo I rock | 15:37 |
| Daughain | yancho: OK, dunno anything about that. Once I got the firewall settings fixed, I haven't gotten the 'unable to mount' error again. Though, sometimes I need to restart samba. | 15:37 |
| richthegeek1 | Lungan: previous message: "Woo i rock" wont execute | 15:38 |
| crankyadmin | dosen't mp3 have a index that gets trashed by cat? | 15:38 |
| grawity | It does. | 15:38 |
| grawity | Well, ID3 tags at least. | 15:39 |
| Linux-IRC | grawity: gravity ,what are you doing ? | 15:39 |
| llutz | crankyadmin: it has, also the id-tags. cat will result in broken mp3, but they might be played by most players | 15:39 |
| creature | Most players are smart enough to play through until they hit EOF, even if the metadata's length disagrees. | 15:39 |
| creature | As I say, it's a bit of a ghetto solution. But it'll work. | 15:39 |
| Norse_Nemo | airtonix: just fond out im in luck songbird can handle both, but it only works with older zunes that use MTP and not the new MTPZ (mine is old :D) | 15:39 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: just tried with two songs and the length in totem is wrong.. seems to play fine though | 15:39 |
| richthegeek1 | creature: is there a way to edit ID3 tags? | 15:39 |

| Tiders- | OKay so I just installed Kubuntu with the alternate install CD but when it got to loading GRUB onto the hard drive it failed over and over so eventually I just hit continue without Boot loader... What should I do now | 15:44 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: install the boot loader from a livecd | 15:44 |
| LGN | you could manually install GRUB | 15:44 |
| LGN | i think | 15:44 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, How do I do that? | 15:44 |

| matteo1990 | iwconfig wlan0 ap (address) seems not to change my wireless access point settings, and it still is "not associated".. any tips? | 15:45 |
| ikonia | yancho: you need to install the ntfs3g packages to make ntfs read-write | 15:46 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, Do I just use a normal 9.04 Live CD or do I need 9.10 | 15:46 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, Because my version of Kubuntu is 9.10 | 15:46 |
| yancho | ikonia: will i be able to do that in a live cd environment ? | 15:46 |
| richthegeek1 | Tiders: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 15:46 |
| richthegeek1 | yancho: yes | 15:46 |
| nastas | matteo1990: are you sure that your wifi card is wlan0? | 15:46 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: if you want to use grub2 you'll have to use a 9.10 cd | 15:46 |
| creature | A summary of my dm-crypt problem: http://pastebin.com/m1c51bf9c . I'd welcome any suggestions of further debugging steps or possible causes. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: grub 1 should be fine though also | 15:47 |
| LGN | grub2 is wayyyyyyy better than grub 1 | 15:47 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, Well what I meant by my question is that will GRUB 1 still boot a 9.10 install? | 15:47 |
| LGN | yes | 15:47 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: should do fine, as long as it's from a 9.04cd -or your boot partition is not ext4 | 15:47 |
| LGN | grub1 will boot 9.10, because those who upgraded from 9.04 still have grub1 | 15:47 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, It is ext4 | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: then you have to use 9.04 or 9.10 cd | 15:48 |
| Tiders- | ikonia, SO I need GRUB2? | 15:48 |
| ikonia | LGN: that's not true, only grub from 9.04 will boot an ext4 partition | 15:48 |
| yancho | ikonia: couldnt find package .. i did sudo apt-get install ntfs3g | 15:48 |
| ikonia | Tiders-: no - you need to use either grub1 from 9.04 or grub1 or 2 from 9.10 | 15:48 |

| manish | can anyone tell me why the xubuntu screen comes back to the login screen even after i've typed in the password....keeps happening again and again | 16:02 |
| rd1381 | grawity:i mean is tehre anythng special about my first account? | 16:02 |
| grawity | ikonia: ntfs-3g always uses FUSE, no matter how you call it. | 16:02 |
| llutz | rd1381: remove 1st account from group "admin" | 16:02 |
| yancho | ikonia: i am trying this command: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.100.203/backup_old /media/fileserver -o username=domain/username,password=pass | 16:02 |
| ikonia | grawity: ahh, thank you | 16:03 |
| llutz | rd1381: but make sure, 2nd account added to admin works with sudo ... | 16:03 |
| grawity | ikonia: At least that's what I thought. | 16:03 |
| om26er | i made a custom /home and now i want to format /home and make /home in /root what to do? | 16:03 |
| ikonia | yancho: that's a samba share | 16:03 |
| ikonia | grawity: you're probably right | 16:03 |
| rd1381 | llutz: does that remoes it from sudo config file ass well? | 16:03 |
| rd1381 | ilutz: how | 16:03 |
| om26er | !test | 16:03 |
| grawity | rd1381: No, it never was in the sudo config file. | 16:03 |
| ubottu | yes, I'm alive. | 16:03 |
| yancho | ikonia: yes.. a windows one | 16:03 |
| grawity | rd1381: Only the 'admin' group is in sudoers. | 16:03 |
| llutz | rd1381: create 2nd user, "sudo adduser yournewuser admin" | 16:03 |
| ikonia | yancho: so that's not your ntfs partition, that's a remote windows share | 16:04 |

| creature | What is upstart-udev-bridge? What does it do? | 16:04 |
| manish | can anyone tell me why xubuntu is coming back to the login screen even after i've typed in the password....keeps happening again and again | 16:04 |
| llutz | rd1381: if sudo works for yournewuser, "sudo deluser olduser admin" | 16:04 |
| manish | i can't access the os | 16:04 |
| thiebaude | !upstart | 16:04 |

| death86angel | hihi | 16:05 |
| death86angel | anyone there ? | 16:05 |
| ikonia | manish: common cause is your home directory is full | 16:05 |
| santisnight | I've allready tried a uncompressing it just by opening the files with the archive manager | 16:05 |
| creature | I'm getting the feeling that my problem is some issue with the interaction between cryptsetup, mountall, and upstart-udev-bridge. (http://pastebin.com/m1c51bf9c has more details of my problem). | 16:05 |
| yancho | yes ur right ikonia ? | 16:05 |
| om26er | if i was not clear. i made a separate /home and now i want to use the space of /root as home and format the other partition | 16:05 |
| rd1381 | llutz: after that is i am in my non-sudo account and i type for example:'sudo synaptic' it ask for that sudo usewr or my nonsudo user account? | 16:05 |
| genii | manish: The most common cause for that is that permissions in your home directory got screwed up from default user to root (usually by running a graphical app with "sudo" instead of "gksudo" ) | 16:05 |
| ikonia | yancho: a samba share is very different to a local NTFS disk, | 16:05 |

| ColMustard | I'm trying to set up apache2 vhosts so that if you connect by going directly to the ip address, you get one thing but if you connect using a certain hostname, you get a different page. I can't seem to get that working. I have tried adding a *:80 virtual host that points to /dev/null and a correcthostname.com:80 virtual host that points at the right directory but then neither one gets you anything when you try to connect. I've tried not having a *:80 a | 16:10 |
| ColMustard | t all and then you get nothing when you connect either. If I point the *:80 virtual host at the correct directory, it works but the hostname you used to get there doesn't matter. Anyone know how to do that? | 16:10 |
| santisnight | i have no clue i did it forever ago... i can probably look it up though, hold on. | 16:10 |
| ikonia | ColMustard: you don't point apache to /dev/null | 16:10 |
| llutz | rd1381: you can give partial root-access to users via sudo, i.e. access to only some specific commands. don't know if that helps | 16:10 |
| rd1381 | grawity: imean i want a normal account and an admin account and the ability to install app in normal account after asking for admin account passs | 16:10 |
| grawity | rd1381: Ubuntu's (and Linux in general) "admin" accounts don't have any privileges. They just can use 'sudo' to temporarily switch to the root account. | 16:10 |
| ikonia | ColMustard: you need two virtual hosts, one for the ip (default) one for the servername URL, point them at different document roots | 16:10 |

| ColMustard | ikonia, ok. so, is that the internal ip or the external ip? | 16:12 |
| ikonia | ColMustard: depends where you want it to be accessed from | 16:12 |
| llutz | rd1381: why? that makes no sense to me | 16:12 |
| grawity | rd1381: You can go into gconf-editor, and disable /apps/gksu/sudo-mode. BUT it will be useless without a root account, because other accounts do not have any privileges at all. | 16:12 |
| rd1381 | llutz: say i wanna have a guest account to use but when i want i want to be able to install apps in that account by using another account (like windows run as admin)_ | 16:13 |

| BrixSat | soreau i have those libs | 16:22 |

| richthegeek1 | santisnight: no, the terminal command | 16:22 |
| grawity | santisnight: No, I meant the 'unrar' command. | 16:22 |
| ikonia | santisnight: I suggest you sort it out on windows | 16:22 |
| soreau | BrixSat: Well either you dont have the right package installed or the pkgconfig path is not set correctly | 16:22 |
| grawity | santisnight: And, IMO, that's really the wrong way of hiding "stuff" from family... | 16:23 |
| BrixSat | soreau so i can i solve it? | 16:23 |
| soreau | BrixSat: First, what are you trying to compile and why? | 16:23 |
| Karger78 | <_UsUrPeR_> took about 1 hour to mount a 4 gig image on a 16 gig card | 16:23 |
| BrixSat | soreau im compiling a program i got cause it has to be machine compiled so it feets every ones needs | 16:24 |
| Karger78 | mind you it's an SD card | 16:24 |
| santisnight | cwillu_at_work, just !rar and the file name? | 16:24 |
| cwillu_at_work | BrixSat, you're not making any sense | 16:24 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Karger78: Hmm. That seems a little slow, but not THAT far from what is normal. | 16:24 |
| cwillu_at_work | santisnight, read the message ubottu sent you | 16:24 |
| santisnight | gravity, probably, but i thought it was still a neat way anyways. | 16:24 |
| ikonia | santisnight: why ar eyou trying to sort this out on ubuntu - it's a windows command a microsoft platform would be easier to undo | 16:24 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Karger78: that is dependent on the write speed of the CF card. | 16:25 |
| soreau | BrixSat: The other issue could be its looking for kde3 libs and you have kde4. May be likely if the program is a bit older or hasnt been developed in awhile | 16:25 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Karger78: it's possible that writes are just that slow to the client | 16:25 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Karger78: err CF card | 16:25 |
| Karger78 | it's only a class 6 SD card | 16:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, if the card was previously written to, it can take quite a while to write a whole new image | 16:25 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, sd erase blocks are very slow | 16:26 |
| santisnight | ikonia, well i did just kinda ditch xp:| however if i cant do it my way and sort it out on here then i will. | 16:26 |
| Karger78 | yeah class 6 is only 133mb per sec | 16:26 |
| Amatiel | hey | 16:26 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Karger78: in that case, that time frame makes sense | 16:26 |
| lsdluna | Hi, can someone direct me as to how can I type in Chinese (or atleast install a layout that works)? | 16:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | Kardos, 133mb/s means it should take about a minute :p | 16:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, rather ^^^ | 16:26 |
| BrixSat | cwillu_at_work i need to compile a module for kaffeine and i only foind it in source | 16:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | ugh, don't use dd on sd cards | 16:27 |
| Karger78 | by other buddy did it with a class 6 4 gig card and it took about 1 hour | 16:27 |
| Karger78 | what should i use then | 16:27 |
| Karger78 | instead of dd | 16:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, Karger78, using dd to put an image onto an sd card is a very good way of ruining the performance of the sd card | 16:28 |
| cwillu_at_work | because that writes all the empty space in the image as well | 16:28 |
| flexy | How do I get the copy buffer (created with painting with mouse, ctrl+c) to my bash script? | 16:28 |
| cwillu_at_work | which then requires any write to the card to read an entire erase block to rewrite the entire erase block to write a single sector | 16:28 |
| Karger78 | ok fair enough, then how do i get the image on the sd card then | 16:28 |
| llutz | Karger78: "sudo cat /dev/sdX > foo.img" (or vice versa) | 16:28 |
| grawity | flexy: there are several tools, I use xclip | 16:28 |
| grawity | flexy: There's xcutsel too, I think. | 16:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, _far_ better to use a tarballed filesystem | 16:29 |
| Karger78 | and that will mount the image to the sd card | 16:29 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cwillu_at_work: could you qualify that statement? I don't understand how the method of data transfer would affect the transfer rates inherent in the storage media. 6 MByte/s is already pretty slow... | 16:29 |
| grawity | flexy: Btw, that thing is called 'primary selection'. (Cut buffers are really obsolete.) | 16:29 |
| flexy | grawity: right. | 16:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, consider how flash works | 16:29 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, erase blocks are bigger than the minimum read/write sectors | 16:29 |
| grawity | flexy: With xclip it would be 'xclip -out -selection primary' | 16:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, if you fill a partition via dd, you end up having to erase an entire erase block every time you write to the card | 16:30 |
| faLUCE | hi. I'm noting that every time I launch a video application (for example: playing a movie) I have a high CPU comsumption (about 50% per application) . I suspect that this problem has something to do with the hardware acceleration... do you have any suggestion for that? | 16:30 |
| flexy | grawity: right, I'm testing it now... | 16:30 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, on the other hand, mounting an img via loopback and doing an rsync (or untarring a tarball) will only write to the space that's actually used, leaving the rest of the card untouched | 16:31 |
| erUSUL | faLUCE: what graphic card do you have ? system specs? what drivers are you using ? | 16:31 |
| flexy | grawity: exactly what I was searching for, thanks! :) | 16:31 |
| creature | How can I find out the order in which upstart processes are run? Is there a tool that will draw me a tree or print me a summary? | 16:31 |
| Karger78 | Cwillu how do i mount an img via loopback? | 16:31 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, you can easily drop down to less than 512kb/s throughput depending on the card if you use dd to write full disk images | 16:31 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | cwillu_at_work / Karger78: So to understand this then, if karger were to manually partition the SD, and manually install whatever information he wants on it, the transfer rates would be better because the partition would not be changed? | 16:33 |

| thiebaude | krishnan, how did you install it? | 16:33 |

| krishnan | thiebaude: while i installed ubuntu 9.04 and during intial browsing i got a message on top of browser | 16:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, that said, the actual info in an install is generally far less than the image size, so even there you're gaining significant ground | 16:34 |
| erUSUL | llutz: Karger78 easier if it is a full disk image is to use losetup to create the block device and then run partx on it (who will discover the partitions within it and create the devices via udev) | 16:34 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cwillu_at_work / Karger78 , so what do you propose karger does at this point? It appears he's already "oopsed" his sd card once :P | 16:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | _UsUrPeR_, doing it the right way will at least reduce the amount of transfer the second time :p | 16:35 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, after you've done the loop mount, check "df -h /mount/point" | 16:36 |
| Tiders- | How much of a speed boost does fakeRAID give | 16:36 |
| cwillu_at_work | Karger78, and then partition the sd card, mount the sd card, and rsync between the loop mount and the sd card ("rsync -vax /loop/mount/ /sd/mount/" should do it) | 16:36 |
| Karger78 | ok | 16:36 |

| isolat3dsh33p | eric_2: Then you probably can't make a bootable USB installer | 17:39 |

| ZeekL | hey there, a ubuntu 9.10 grub reinstall question: I had XP on /dev/sda1 and ubuntu on /dev/sdb1. I reinstalled XP and went to reinstall the grub from a forum article (fdisk, mount, grub-install). It installed fine, can get into ubuntu but it complains when booting XP. I think it is related to the grub entry for 'search --no-floppy --fs-uid --set #######' but not sure how to get a new '--set' value... | 18:04 |
| MarderIII | rance94: broad question.. | 18:04 |

| fgiasson | Hi Everybody! I am in a kind of a mess right now. I did want to upgrade the PHP version on my ubuntu server by using the command "apt-get upgrade php". However, in the process I got this log error: ""Preparing to replace libc6 2.7-10ubuntu4 (using .../libc6_2.7-10ubuntu5_i386.deb) ... head: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libc.so.6: file too short""... then, everything that was run (which uses libc.so.6) was sending | 18:49 |

| bbogart | Hey all, I had a question about upgrading ubuntu. I've been doing update-manager upgrades since breezy, and things have been steadily getting weirder, pulseaudio misbehaving, my gnome menus getting messed up, gdm stopped working for a while. After this many online upgrades does doing a fresh install (without reformatting /home) a good idea. or a waste of time/effort? | 18:54 |
| Mudkipz | I can't install updates. I get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 18:54 |
| Mudkipz | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 18:54 |
| Mudkipz | Also, I'm in Xubuntu if that matters. | 18:54 |

| cwillu_at_work | BluesKaj, he's not having problems with the update gui; "do-release-update" would have had the same issues, it doesn't address why his install is getting flacky | 18:58 |
| oCean_ | hiexpo: you could check what programs are running at those ports by using the command netstat, like "netstat -anp |grep 6667" | 18:58 |

| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, I'm not sure if anyone else has just been doing the old upgrade for this long. I read somewhere doing this method of upgrading constantly can cause issues and a fresh installation is called for once and a while, I was just looking for confirmation. | 19:03 |
| cwillu_at_work | Diverdude, make sure you set the launcher as "open in terminal" | 19:03 |

| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, typically it's crufty config files, in the profile and so forth; if you "install package maintainer's version" on packages that you've never changed things, you'll get fresher settings, although you'll occasionally be changing behaviour (which is the point :p) | 19:05 |

| cwillu_at_work | manuel__, if you have a shell open to the mount, or launched a program in a terminal while the current working directory was in the mount, you need to close those first | 19:06 |

| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, I've had lots of issues, but generally I can clear them up pretty quickly. Definitely check for bug reports, and file bugs if you don't find one: upgrades are a completely supported approach, and so those bugs do get attention | 19:07 |

| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, not a mount point, just a dir. And sudo chown root does not change things, the file is still shown as owned as my user, something certainly wrong here... | 19:18 |

| cwillu_at_work | assargadon, not sure, but you might be able to make a symlink in the user's dir (if not, make a folder, and put a symlink in the folder), and share that. There's a samba config item to allow that sort of shenanigan, not sure if its on or off by default though | 19:27 |

| cwillu_at_work | Docteh, what fs was it? | 19:33 |
| Docteh | ntfs | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | assargadon: its been argued both ways and across the world ways.. ntfs-config tool does allow you do do a few clicks and enable full access to ntfs filesystems. Or not allow any at all. | 19:33 |
| MarderIII | filipje1993: depends how you found it.. in the filemanager? | 19:33 |
| Docteh | should I umount and fsck my ext3 partition? | 19:33 |
| Dr_Willis | assargadon: personally during the install - i give my ntfs fs's a mountpoint so its rarely an issue for me. | 19:34 |
| cwillu_at_work | Docteh, if you run 'top' in a terminal, in the very top line where it says %wa, does it show anything? | 19:34 |

| mmarc__3 | I'm new adopter from rpm-based distros. Could you please help to get sorted with the following features, it I'll find solutions, this will keep me with ubuntu. First, I'm using karmic 9.10 on laptop. Is there a way for soft plugging in external monitor? I'd like the laptop's 1024x600 screen to show cutted desktop mirrored with the external screen having better resolution - 1024x768 or 1200x1024. It's a usual behavior, is it possble to set | 19:38 |
| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, if you have a separate home, yes | 19:39 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, fujimitsu, I do put /home separately. | 19:39 |
| [Spooky] | Anyone here play Battleforge? | 19:39 |
| gkahla | cwillu_at_work- bbogart types the truth! a separate /home partition makes system recovery *very* easy. | 19:39 |
| tech__ | Do any of you guys use asterisk? | 19:39 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, I certainly have issues with this machine that no one else does, gdm not working through two releases would be noticed if I was not the only one! | 19:39 |
| * cwillu_at_work is not interested in this conversation | 19:39 | |
| cwillu_at_work | I'm not the one with a broken install :p | 19:40 |
| Docteh | tech__: theres an asterisk channel on freenode, but they'll make fun of you if you're using the packages in apt | 19:40 |
| mmarc__3 | ok, I guess, it's too crowded, and all are busy. | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | mmarc__3: for the monitor - it often depends on the video chipset/driver and laptop i find. | 19:40 |
| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, well, it being broken the second time is just a statement about how it was broken the first time | 19:40 |
| assargadon | Another question. Why, when I clicking on NTFS disk in "computer:///", it mounted itself with root as owner, while flash drive are mounted with me (assargadon) as owner? | 19:40 |
| Dr_Willis | mmarc__3: you can try plgging it in and trying the laptop 'monitor' combo keys and it may just 'work' ive had seeral laptops that worked that way.. some required me to run the xrandr tools | 19:40 |
| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, dpkg-reconfigure -a -phigh can fix a broad class of things with a sledgehammer-style approach :) | 19:41 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, my plan is to just upgrade then, and make a new user from which I'll copy from my old home directory where needed. I'd rather not have to deal with backing up my SVN repo. | 19:41 |
| Docteh | assargadon: whoever wrote the easy to use gui doesn't have anything ntfs probably. you can manually mount stuff as owned by your user | 19:41 |
| cwillu_at_work | bbogart, no, if you have a separate home you can just reinstall without reformatting it | 19:41 |
| KnightCast | "/quit | 19:41 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, I'm never used it in that manner, but I am familiar. | 19:42 |
| mmarc__3 | Dr_Willis: I'm using the msi wind u100, monitor key works (!!! that's cool -I know only two distros where it works: moblin, and now - ubuntu), but here it seems to hang when switching | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mmarc__3: my AAO worked.. and my other laptop wiorked.. but ive seen some where its a total disaster. :) | 19:42 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, maybe I'll put SVN in another partition next time... | 19:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mmarc__3: i saw one laptop that defaulted to the external monitor.. even tho one was NOT plugged in. :) | 19:43 |
| assargadon | Docteh: "manually" means "via console" ? | 19:43 |
| bbogart | cwillu_at_work, thanks for your help. | 19:43 |
| mmarc__3 | another question: where you guys missed Texmaker? | 19:43 |

| cwillu_at_work | fujimitsu, some machines don't get along with the tricks needed for a livecd. There's probably some combination of settings to make it work, but it's probably easier to just install with the alternate-mode install cd | 19:53 |

| iceroot | KaffeeJunky123: sure | 20:55 |
| bishop | bak again | 20:55 |
| iceroot | KaffeeJunky123: but that is not part of wine | 20:55 |
| BluesKaj | why use wine , KaffeeJunky123..look for the ntfs volume in nautilus | 20:55 |
| LuisGMarine | hello what do I have to do to update a program that I installed in /opt/ | 20:55 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | BluesKaj: I'm trying to run the wow launcher from my ntfs drive | 20:55 |
| iceroot | LuisGMarine: installed without apt-get? | 20:55 |
| marenostrum | pasjr: If you are NOT a novice user, this may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 | 20:56 |

| LuisGMarine | New version of Songbird came out and the stupid automated update thing wont recognize that there is a new version out | 20:56 |
| good4thecompany | how do I find out the IP address of a network drive from the command line, before i've mounted it? | 20:56 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | BluesKaj: And it complains about not beeing able to write to the wow folder | 20:56 |
| iceroot | LuisGMarine: then download the newest version and look at the readme for installing. for the future, always use repos if you can | 20:56 |
| LuisGMarine | iceroot, yeah just straight up tar -xzvf to the /opt/Songbird folder | 20:56 |
| LuisGMarine | iceroot, I know but the PPA for songbird is ran by a bot, the 64-bit version of songbird hasn't been able to build in the past 3 months ... so that's why I resort to the source | 20:56 |
| g5pw | guntbert: i'll go check sth in the bios, write back if problem persists... :) thanks 4 ur time! | 20:57 |
| iceroot | LuisGMarine: ah ok, goog to know | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | copy the wow .exefile into /home/user and let wine launch it for you there, KaffeeJunky123 | 20:57 |
| iceroot | good | 20:57 |
| pasjr | Thank you will look at it, as for hijack good luck. This system is so hard to use, you would need to be the Pentagon to use it | 20:57 |
| EastDallas | jonrob287: It should work fine, even though you get the error. You just won't have access to getdeb.net's repository. No big deal, it's just extras. | 20:57 |
| guntbert | g5pw: no problem here - and Good luck :-) | 20:57 |

| iceroot | KaffeeJunky123: for updating you dont need a payed account | 21:00 |

| MASARUwota | away: go to #debian or #linux instead. | 21:28 |
| unop | away, join the #sidux or #debian channels, this here is #ubuntu | 21:28 |
| [Spooky] | lgc: Yes... You are a beginner with Ubuntu? | 21:28 |
| tibrox | `mOOse`, have you configured your db correctly? | 21:28 |
| lgc | [Spooky], no, actually. But I don't want it installed in the Chromium download directory. I wonder why it's no .deb. | 21:29 |
| `mOOse` | iI just installed amorak - is there a trick to that? The New User Wizard just asks where my music files are and I point it to C:\Music with the result above | 21:29 |
| EliasAmaral | lgc, there is a chromium in a ppa | 21:29 |
| `mOOse` | I do that through the GUI... | 21:29 |

| sebsebseb | R3cursive: probably wont' get Grub 2 on upgrade, and I guess you won't get the Ext4 file system on upgrade, but you don't really need those anyway | 22:04 |

| Hail_Spacecake | is there a way to make fcron not execute a job at all if the system is down at the time it's supposed to run? | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | Baxnie: you need to make "real partitions" on your hard disk, for a proper install of Ubuntu | 22:08 |
| Hail_Spacecake | I'm trying to set up an alarm clock script and if the system isn't on at 7:30 or whenever I don't need it to run when it is on | 22:08 |
| sebsebseb | Baxnie: Wubi does not do that for you, a Wubi install that works can be converted to real partitions though | 22:08 |
| Baxnie | ok thank you | 22:08 |

| Alacard | quick question: | 22:10 |
| Alacard | If I reinstall Ubuntu 8.04 R3 on one physical drive then use another physical drive as a mount point for my /home directory, will I lose all the data on the 2nd physical drive that will become my /home directory? | 22:10 |
| ivanoats | is there a simple command line command to show which packages are out of date? especially in regards to security? | 22:10 |
| Deathvalley122 | why is getdeb.net down? | 22:11 |
| blakkheim | ivanoats: aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade | 22:11 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: well yeah maybe, but you can move your existing /home into a seperate partition | 22:11 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: if you delete a partition with data on it, the partition will go, but there are ways to recover data | 22:11 |
| ivanoats | blakkheim: thanks, but i want to see what's being upgraded before i do it | 22:11 |
| quaglia77 | hi | 22:11 |

| blakkheim | ivanoats: it will ask you to confirm before it upgrades | 22:11 |
| Alacard | thank you | 22:11 |

| Deathvalley122 | !ping getdeb.net | 22:12 |
| Alacard | sebsebseb, I agree | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: you could turn your current Ubuntu install into a data partition, delete everything from it except your data | 22:13 |

| sebsebseb | Alacard: which versin of Ubuntu? | 22:14 |
| Alacard | I currently have 9.10 but I would like to back it down to 8.04 R3 for various reasons.... Ext4 is my 2nd problem there :( | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: oh your having Ext4 issues hmm | 22:15 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: what kind of stuff? | 22:15 |
| joaopinto | Deathvalley122, server problems | 22:15 |
| calebgamb | I need help to install ubuntu :3 | 22:15 |
| calebgamb | Walk me through please | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: uhmm ok | 22:16 |
| Alacard | no problems with Ext4, I like it but 8.04.3 doesn't support it out of the box as I understand it | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | first you need the CD | 22:16 |
| calebgamb | I have that | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: oh right yeah | 22:16 |
| Deathvalley122 | I guessed joaopinto | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: ok what's up with 9.10? | 22:16 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: If you want to go back to a previous release 9.04 :) | 22:16 |
| Deathvalley122 | nice way to try to update things :( | 22:16 |
| calebgamb | sebsebseb: Now what? I got the cd >.> | 22:17 |
| Alacard | I'm a fan of LTS for production enviroments | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | cellofellow: if you still have the ISO, you can check it to, make sure you have a good download | 22:17 |
| Alacard | honestly, a non-LTS become a production machine :( | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: oh production hmm, what kind of stuff are you doing then? | 22:17 |
| Alacard | mostly data backups, virtual machines & general IT stuff | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: I don't know if you reolize it or not, but 10.04 released at the end of April is the next LTS | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: ah ha I see, so you got important data | 22:17 |
| sebsebseb | ? | 22:17 |
| Alacard | well, some would say it's important | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: ok yeah Ext4 might still be a bit dodgy really for that kind of stuff | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: ,but what problems did you get with Ext4? | 22:18 |
| Alacard | no issues whatsoever with Ext4, but it is not natively supported on 8.04 LTS | 22:18 |
| Deathvalley122 | if 9.10 is bad I don't wanna know what 10.04 is gonna be like | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: stay here, plus as you can probably see I am also trying to help Alacard | 22:18 |
| sebsebseb | !pm > calebgamb | 22:19 |
| ubottu | calebgamb, please see my private message | 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | Deathvalley122: 9.10 is bad for some people, but a lot of people it's fine | 22:19 |

| dolphinling_ | Hey, I just updated a system I hadn't used in a while from 9.04 to 9.10, and it appears that something on the boot partition got corrupted. The files are all there, but it no longer has a UUID or TYPE label. | 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | Deathvalley122: also anything that isn't a Long Term Support release, is a kind of testing release | 22:19 |
| dolphinling_ | Any idea how to fix that? | 22:19 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ok boot the computer from the CD | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: and come back here | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: you might have to go into your BIOS and tell it to boot from CD first | 22:20 |
| benc1 | I have a usb device that should be world-writable. How can I find out if it is? | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | benc1: ah yes usb | 22:20 |

| calebgamb | Ok... | 22:20 |
| calebgamb | Booting | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | benc1: uhmm with 9.10 you got to put the password in for all USB devices I think | 22:21 |

| sebsebseb | calebgamb: first before installing Ubuntu, it's a good idea to test your hardware, Internet and such, make sure that works | 22:21 |
| Alacard | sebsebseb, you still have a few minutes? | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: yes | 22:21 |
| MyWay | hello | 22:21 |
| Alacard | thanks man | 22:21 |
| benc1 | sebsebseb: I need it to be world-writable so eclipse can use it | 22:22 |
| MyWay | after i installed ubuntu 9.10, i think i've overwrited windows 7 mbr or something, because i can't see it anymore in the boot menu, is there a way to restore it from ubuntu? | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: XFS they say has most of the Ext4 advantages, and has been around for longer, but then for Grub you need a seperate /boot. and Ext3 is fine really and the default file system for 8.04 | 22:22 |
| calebgamb | The ubuntu logo is like REALLY stretched.. | 22:22 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: you mean the boot up logo? | 22:23 |
| calebgamb | The white one | 22:23 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ah yes that thing, personally I don't like it. If you have you get issues with 9.10 you can try 9.04 the previous release, which is a pretty good one | 22:23 |
| coiax1 | If I have an IP address, how can I find the domain name/machine name on the local network? | 22:23 |
| Alacard | Yeah, I'm fine with Ext3 but my machine is running 9.10 w/ ext4 so an 8.04 ext3 native system won't read it | 22:23 |
| calebgamb | sebsebseb: ohh yay there's now a bar | 22:24 |
| calebgamb | African sounds ;) | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: ok | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: yeah you want Ext3 | 22:24 |
| msp3k | coiaz1, usually: host <IP-address> | 22:24 |
| Alacard | yeah | 22:24 |
| calebgamb | Okay | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: move your data into a new Ext3 partition, back it up some where else? however your going to do it | 22:24 |
| calebgamb | Everything is booted up | 22:24 |
| Alacard | yeppers | 22:24 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: your on a lap top or desktop? | 22:25 |
| coiax1 | msp3k: Thanks. | 22:25 |
| Alacard | I think that is the only way to accomplish my task | 22:25 |
| Alacard | thanks for your time | 22:25 |
| sebsebseb | Alacard: when 10.04 comes out by the way at the end of April, you can directly upgrade to it from 8.04, but you are unlikely to get Ext4 on upgrade. You might get Grub 2 on upgrade. Anyway you don't really need those. | 22:25 |
| calebgamb | sebsebseb: Laptop | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ok so your using wireless? | 22:26 |
| calebgamb | Yes im trying to connect | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: :( | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | hmm | 22:26 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: you might have to configure your wireless, which won't be easy as a new user | 22:27 |
| calebgamb | I connected | 22:27 |
| calebgamb | :p | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ok good | 22:27 |
| calebgamb | Im pro at windowsy stuff and ubuntus connection thing is similar | 22:27 |
| calebgamb | Now what? | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: Reolize that your lucky, that you got someone, who will guide you in setting up a proper install. However first, is this just a computer that is going Ubuntu only, or is it going to dual boot Windows as well or what? | 22:28 |
| calebgamb | sebsebseb: I know I am lucky to have your awesome tech support, and I want a dual boot with windows. | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ok I should have probably asked that question later on, now I got to ask this. Which version of Windows? | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: later on, I meant to put earlier on | 22:29 |
| calebgamb | Windows vista sp1 | 22:29 |
| msp3k | Will any USB scanner work with Linux/Ubuntu nowadays, or is there anything I need to look for? | 22:29 |

| ubottu | msp3k: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | calebgamb: ok well at least now we know that the install should work. However this is the time where you should back up any important data just in case something goes wrong which is unlikely. Also the time where you should load up Vista, so you can let Vista resize itself, so you don't get data loss. | 22:31 |

| MTec007 | looking for a bit of advice. as a regular laptop, no servers, what should i do as far as a firewall goes? is it ok stock or should i do something more? | 22:56 |
| graham_ | mtec007 do you have a router? | 22:57 |
| MTec007 | some times | 22:57 |
| MTec007 | at times its a direct modem connection | 22:57 |

| graham_ | do you have cable or dsl | 22:58 |
| graham_ | ? | 22:58 |
| epinky | !ufw | MTec007 | 22:58 |
| ubottu | MTec007: 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 | 22:58 |
| graham_ | or that... | 22:58 |
| MTec007 | on dsl atm | 22:58 |
| graham_ | you probably get a new ip address everytime you connect | 22:59 |
| graham_ | so it's probably not a big deal | 22:59 |
