| Belinrahs | is it possible to migrate from a wubi installation of Karmic to a regular install, with it's own partition and all that? | 00:02 |
| b3rz3rk3r | thanks for replies all... so best way to test (without another machine) would be to remove it and take it to a store for them to test right? | 00:03 |
| richthegeek | zzzxzzz: backup your home folder and export a syn package list, reinstall from an ISO of 9.10, restore home and run the syn list | 00:03 |
| apn | zzzxzzz the same way as you installed it, just make a backup of your data first. | 00:03 |

| jtaji | Typh: to be more precise, files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which end in .list | 00:05 |

| richthegeek | zzzxzzz : do you have a usb thumbdrive at least 4gb big? | 00:07 |
| zzzxzzz | yes i have | 00:07 |
| richthegeek | zzzxzzz : use the "USB startup disk creator" app | 00:07 |
| richthegeek | zzzxzzz : its in the System->Preferences menu I think | 00:07 |
| smiter | anyone have any idea how to work around and fix the black screen on install of ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| richthegeek | choose the ISO file, choose the thumb drive, reboot and boot from that thumb drive | 00:08 |
| apn | smiter, alternative cd | 00:08 |
| Pelo | smiter, when do you get the black screen ? | 00:08 |
| smiter | ? | 00:08 |
| smiter | i get the black screen after the begiing of the splash | 00:09 |
| Pelo | smiter, apn means the alternate install cd, it's text based installer, some DOS like graphics, easier on the comp during the install process | 00:09 |
| smiter | i have tried 9.10 9.04 and 8.10 all give me a black screen once i hit install | 00:09 |
| Pelo | smiter, do you hawe a special video card ? | 00:09 |
| smiter | yeah, it takes the short yellow bus to school every morning... lol.. radeon 9200 ati | 00:09 |
| _CommandeR_ | need to open sqllitedb file what use? | 00:10 |
| Pelo | smiter, does the live cd work for you ? | 00:10 |
| smiter | no.. i mean.. it loads and installs.. but i cant see anything.. i know its there because i hear the drums.. to log in | 00:10 |
| Pelo | smiter, try the alternate install cd it is your best bet and the easiest way to go about it | 00:11 |
| zzzxzzz | richthegeek: can i do something with terminal? | 00:11 |
| smiter | ok i will download the alt right now and give it a shot.. would it be better to go with 9.04 or 9.10 ? | 00:12 |
| zzzxzzz | richthegeek: trough terminal? | 00:12 |
| smiter | for the radeon 9200 card? | 00:12 |

| richthegeek | zzzxzzz : I dont think so | 00:13 |
| richthegeek | zzzxzzz : but probably - there very little in Linux that you can only do from the gui, besides watching videos | 00:14 |
| Pelo | smiter, no difference that I can tell, I assume the latest one would have the latest drivers | 00:14 |
| === sejten is now known as DaZ | ||
| zzzxzzz | thank anyway | 00:14 |
| epinky | _CommandeR_: maybe "sqlite3 /path/to/file.sqlitedb" ? | 00:15 |
| smiter | pelo, i know there is an issue with my card.. and drivers (Radeon 9200 ati) | 00:15 |
| smiter | but i thought that was on ly with 9.10 but 8.10 is giving me the same prob | 00:15 |
| macius | Hey I just decided to toss ubuntu on my mac as primary os and wondering if its possible to boot straight into ubuntu. Considering I don't have any mac partition so am in able atm to grab refit | 00:15 |
| richthegeek | mode -s richthegeek | 00:16 |
| Pelo | smiter, it's not your card specificaly as far as I know, ATI refuses to make their drivers open so and the drivers they make for linux are limited | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | smiter: is that an old or new card? | 00:16 |
| FFForever | any idea why i would get a grey box for no reason?, i can move it work space to work space | 00:16 |
| hmagoo | hello, is it possible to keep a USB 2,0 external drive to be the same /dev regardless of what other media is connected to USB upon reboot? | 00:16 |
| Pelo | smiter, once you get ubuntu installed with the alt-cd it will install a vesa driver wthat will be enough to get you to boot and then install the correct driver for your card | 00:16 |
| hmagoo | or whatever drives are connected in the system for that matter | 00:17 |
| FFForever | hmagoo, the /dev is depended when the drive is plugged in | 00:19 |
| smiter | Pelo do you have any idea on how to install the driver for the ati cards like the radeon 9200? | 00:19 |
| homezz | i just was able to mount my ntfs dive but I can see all of my files what can i do | 00:20 |
| RomainK | Well this is a shocker. | 00:21 |
| Pelo | smiter, once you have ubuntu isntalled, you go to menu > system > admin > restricted driver manager , you'll get a choice of drivers to shoose from , if your card is recognised properly, which it should , if not you need to dl the driver from the ATI/RAdeon website and install it manualy, which is not that big a deal , but the restricterd driver manager should work so donT, worry about that yet, just know that you have options if it do | 00:21 |
| Pelo | esn't work | 00:21 |
| RomainK | I was gonna ask a karmic-related question but it appears that's not what I have installed. | 00:21 |
| RomainK | Nevermind then. | 00:21 |
| jtaji | hmagoo: the /dev/sdxy might change, but after you plug it in do a 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/' and find which one is pointing to your usb drive, that won't change | 00:21 |
| Hilikus | configuring ufw, what's the FROM TO fields? are those to allow connections in a specific range of ips? | 00:21 |
| smiter | cool thanks.. i would like to get away from Microsoft and windblows | 00:21 |
| jtaji | hmagoo: that's also how drives are listed in your fstab nowadays, by UUID | 00:22 |
| matts | anybody here willing to help me get my wireless working in ubuntu please | 00:22 |
| jtaji | !uuid | hmagoo fyi | 00:22 |
| ubottu | hmagoo fyi: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 00:22 |

| LP | how can I run a script on login in Gnome? | 00:25 |
| Pelo | ko what kind of script ? | 00:25 |

For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 00:25 |
| LP | thx jtaji | 00:25 |
| Hilikus | jtaji: yes, there are, but i'm confused with the TO field. based on what you said that's only 1 field so what do i write in the other? i would think it would be FROM 192.168.0.0 TO 192.168.0.255 but that's not what you said | 00:25 |
| matts_ | anyone here willing to help me get my wireless working in ubuntu? | 00:25 |
| Inzuka | I'll take it that means zero to little chance then. haha :) | 00:25 |

| domjohnson | Where can i get extra themes for Ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| jtaji | Hilikus: yes you can specify a from address and port, and a to address and port | 00:28 |
| Pelo | Dominian, gnome-look.org | 00:28 |
| Inzuka | Open the personalization menu, and there's a button to click on that says "Get more themes online." | 00:28 |
| apn | domjohnson, gnome/kde/xfce/whatnot? | 00:28 |
| Hilikus | jtaji: so what's the /24 thing? | 00:29 |
| domjohnson | It's Dominic :) | 00:29 |
| domjohnson | Ok | 00:29 |
| domjohnson | thanks :) | 00:29 |
| jtaji | Hilikus: generally on my server, with one network interface, all my rules look like: ufw allow from any to any port XXXX | 00:29 |
| S0LIDUS | domjohnson, If you have the hardware to support it you might want to consider emerald. | 00:29 |
| smiter | i wish i had thought about coming here a week ago when i started this lol | 00:29 |
| jtaji | Hilikus: that's how you specify a network, rather than a single IP, in an address field | 00:29 |
| mnaines | Are there any native Linux VoIP programs with a built-in CRM and a predictive autodialer? | 00:29 |
| Pelo | mnaines, check in synaptic | 00:30 |
| Inzuka | I figure I might as well ask one more time: Anyone able to help me figure out why my sound isn't working on 9.10? | 00:32 |
| jtaji | Hilikus: correction, they are mostly like: ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port XXXX | 00:32 |
| matts_ | anybody here know itf theres a patch or something to get to get my realtek driver to work with in ndiswrapper | 00:33 |
| mooseburger | Again. I am trying to burn 9.10 to CD using brasero in 8.04. The CD is blank with 700MB of space, but brasero claims there isn't enough space for the 690MB 9.10 ISO. Is a 700MB CD not enough for some reason? | 00:34 |

| patpatpat | http://imagebin.org/76420 | 00:43 |
| patpatpat | that is my screenshot ^^^ | 00:43 |
| jtaji | tesseracter: hmm, yeah that's why I would have recommended it on the linux side | 00:43 |
| bruceh | Jaza, you have to update to 9.04 first | 00:43 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, it's possible only from lts to lts, or one version at time | 00:43 |
| S0LIDUS | Jaza, You can only upgrade an LTS to an LTS. | 00:43 |
| bruceh | then you can update to 9.10 | 00:43 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, you could wait for ubuntu 10.04 | 00:43 |
| patpatpat | you can see the Laptop 11" in the left upper corner | 00:43 |
| jtaji | tesseracter: you'll be limited to 4GB files with fat32 | 00:43 |
| tesseracter | jtaji, ive got ntfs on my 16gb flash stick, couldnt get ntfs-3g working on the mac. | 00:44 |

| tesseracter | jtaji, i dont want to mess with windows filesystems, because i never see windows any more. | 00:44 |
| EliasAmaral | or, wait for next release (that will be lts) | 00:44 |
| === berrybarry is now known as berrybarry|away | ||
| jtaji | tesseracter: I hear ya, don't know of any better options | 00:45 |
| patpatpat | it appears when multiple monitors are connected to identify them but i dont have multiple connected atm | 00:45 |
| jtaji | patpatpat: that shows up for me when I am in the Display Preferences, but goes away when I exit | 00:45 |
| Jaza | EliasAmaral: how do I go about upgrading that way? I tried upgrade manager and not able to. | 00:46 |
| patpatpat | hmm maybe i have a ghost diplay prefs i will try to kill it | 00:46 |
| S0LIDUS | Jaza, You should be aware that moving away from an LTS can be risky! | 00:46 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, well, I usually disable non-standard repositories, do apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade, or something like that | 00:46 |
| patpatpat | ok that did the trick thanks jtaji - sorry for the noob question | 00:46 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, i am not sure what is the "official" way to do ti | 00:47 |
| EliasAmaral | it | 00:47 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, in fact I often prefer a clean installation =/ | 00:47 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, if you have your home separated it is easier | 00:47 |
| jtaji | official way is Update Manager for desktop, or do-release-upgrade for command line | 00:48 |
| EliasAmaral | Jaza, and, in fact, gnome configuration is guaranteed to be portable among various versions | 00:48 |
| cactusfrog | hi | 00:48 |
| S0LIDUS | cactusfrog, hello | 00:49 |
| EliasAmaral | hi | 00:49 |
| bruceh | To be honest, I've never had good luck upgrading between major releases. In my experience, various settings for various packages do not get updated correctly. (Pulseaudio comes to mind.) However, YMMV. | 00:49 |

| ubottu | Jaza: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 00:50 |
| smiter | you would think they would try to make it more seamless in the upgrading process | 00:50 |
| jtaji | it's worked fine for me on multiple machines | 00:51 |
| jtaji | I just think all you folks with problem hardware are in here ;) | 00:51 |
| smiter | yep lol | 00:51 |
| bruceh | mkquist: well, it would, if not for the fact that making backups can take a while. And anyway, upgrading any operating system can be a challenge. It's worthwhile to go slow and cover all your bases. | 00:51 |
| jtaji | seriously though, it's been solid the last couple of versions, mostly | 00:51 |
| Jaza | Ubottu: I tried that page and when ran update manager I get the following "Could not download all repository indexes" | 00:51 |

| bruceh | RealKillaz, some people are saying that empathy doesn't work with msn unless you have an msn email address. (It works for me, but then, I am using my hotmail addy for msn. I don't know what would happen if I created an account with a gmail address) | 01:05 |

| protojay | MeminPinguin, im using ubuntu on my acer too | 02:08 |

| SuperMiguel | i have multiple videos and i want to burn them to a dvd, and would like to create a menu so i can pick which video to play.. which program i can use? | 02:10 |
| sync3times | eliot_, try gdmsetup | 02:11 |
| ardchoille | SuperMiguel: I use either devede or tovid for that | 02:11 |
| ardchoille | SuperMiguel: tovid is my favorite though | 02:11 |
| sync3times | eliot_, ah, its kinda crippled under ubuntu though | 02:11 |
| eliot_ | sync3times y is that | 02:11 |
| Taco24501 | thanks | 02:12 |
| sync3times | eliot_, i dunno. There are lots of nice things that you can change. But many of the distros have taken those settings out | 02:12 |
| dare | eliot_, just set it to the default player in the properties for a file (such as an mp3) | 02:12 |
| bk_ferrari | eliot, that's easy. just right-click on the media file you want. | 02:12 |
| Inzuka | Anyone have any ideas on how to set up sound? I never had sound since I installed the OS. | 02:13 |
| sync3times | eliot_, you may have to edit files in /etc/gdm | 02:13 |
| bk_ferrari | there's a tab called permissions. | 02:13 |
| bk_ferrari | and in it, shows what programs you want to open with it. | 02:13 |
| bk_ferrari | same as windows | 02:13 |
| marenostrum | eliot: default for which files? | 02:13 |
| sync3times | gdm = gnome display manager. The login manager. | 02:13 |

| dhillon-v10 | hi all, I am trying to adopt a debian package in Ubuntu the instructions are pretty confusing can anyone help | 02:15 |
| ardchoille | dhillon-v10: have you checked the repos to see if the package is already there? | 02:16 |
| marenostrum | eliot: right click on a file of the type you want to allow VLC to be default, go to properties and "open with" tab and tick VLC. | 02:17 |
| dhillon-v10 | ardchoille, it says here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=540557 that the package is orphaned so I wanted to adpot it and get working on it :D | 02:17 |
| navidhg | hello? | 02:17 |
| ardchoille | dhillon-v10: That may not work on Ubuntu | 02:19 |
| navidhg | what's up with not being able to use your scroll wheel to cycle between different desktop spaces? | 02:19 |
| navidhg | it definitely did | 02:19 |
| lstarnes | navidhg: a lot of applications use it for scrolling | 02:19 |
| ardchoille | dhillon-v10: you really need a debian system running to adopt a debian package for the debian distro | 02:19 |
| dhillon-v10 | ardchoille, I have some friends who are working on a debian packages and Ubuntu packages so I guess they were dual booting | 02:19 |
| navidhg | lstarnes what do you mean? | 02:20 |
| dre360 | hey all | 02:20 |
| dre360 | what's up | 02:20 |
| lstarnes | navidhg: the scroll wheel is used by many applications for scrolling up and down within their own windows | 02:20 |
| === n is now known as Guest28942 | ||
| ardchoille | dhillon-v10: either that or they don't care if the mess things up | 02:20 |
| lstarnes | navidhg: so it may interfere with scrolling between workspaces and vice versa | 02:20 |
| dhillon-v10 | ardchoille, nah the person I am talking about is in Ubuntu core dev so he definitely cares :D | 02:20 |
| === Guest28942 is now known as n` | ||
| navidhg | oh I see | 02:21 |
| lstarnes | navidhg: try ctrl+alt+left-arrow or ctrl+alt+right-arror | 02:22 |
| lstarnes | *-arrow | 02:22 |
| navidhg | but it used to be that when you were on the desktop and you scrolled, it switched deskspaces so how would I go about reenabling it? | 02:22 |
| navidhg | i know the shortcuts but if I could turn on the scrolling it would be good | 02:23 |
| rick_ | is there any way to see and change all the settings for wireless network cards like you could in winblows device manager, such as tx power? | 02:23 |
| danny | Is there a command that will make Ubuntu fsck on reboot? | 02:23 |
| lstarnes | navidhg: it should still work while the mouse is over the workspace switching applet | 02:23 |
| sync3times | rick_, have you tried iwconfig? | 02:23 |
| _Mandor | navidhg: tried the "keyboard shortcuts" thing? | 02:23 |
| nullp0inter | i am using find -type d -exec cp "index.php" '{}' ';' to copy index.php to all the folders in a dir..however is there a way to only copy it to only the empty folders? | 02:24 |
| rick_ | sync3times when i run that command it outputs some info but idk how to change it from a terminal prompt | 02:24 |
| Gryph | can install ubuntu-desktop and then reboot without logging in and still be able to connect via ssh? If so how? I tried this in the past and jacked it all up | 02:24 |
| sync3times | rick_, iwconfig wlan0 power p | 02:25 |
| rick_ | sync3times oh okay, thank you | 02:25 |
| danfg | ubuntu is only keeping a month worth of mail.log, how do i make it keep 6 months worth? | 02:25 |
| lstarnes | danfg: it might keep extra copies of the old logs | 02:25 |
| cHarNe2 | where is the rules for /etc/inputrc ? i want edit ^w where can i do that? | 02:25 |
| sync3times | nullpointer, are you sure you want to make copies and not links? | 02:25 |
| navidhg | cool thanks guys | 02:26 |
| nullp0inter | sync3times, positive | 02:26 |
| lstarnes | danfg: like mail.log.* or mail.log.*.gz | 02:26 |
| mkquist | danfg: just change the account settings - it can save forevere | 02:26 |
| marenostrum | danny: Did you try to add the command to system > startup applications ? | 02:26 |
| mkquist | danfg: sry nvm | 02:26 |
| sync3times | nullp0inter, cp -i ? | 02:26 |
| danfg | lstarnes: it's keeping up to .6, i'd like it to keep up to .20 or something | 02:26 |
| navidhg | also, I was wondering if you can run half life 2 on steam over wine smoothly | 02:26 |
| bk_ferrari | how can i resize a partition when i'm logged in on that partition? | 02:26 |
| lstarnes | danfg: look in /etc/logrotate.d/ | 02:27 |
| nullp0inter | sync3times, no i dont thin so | 02:27 |
| marenostrum | danny: edit: system > preferences > startup applications ? | 02:27 |
| sync3times | nullp0inter, -n is noclobber | 02:27 |
| danfg | lstarnes: i don't think logrotate deals with mail.log, nothing about mail in there, it's syslog something that deals with it | 02:27 |
| danny | marenostrum: No, I didn't think about that! Is there a specific command or is just "fsck"? | 02:27 |
| === barryberry|away is now known as berrybarry | ||
| lstarnes | danfg: then check /etc/syslog.conf | 02:28 |
| marenostrum | danny: as I know dar just it. First try it in a terminal, if it works plainly that command | 02:28 |

| mezquitale | noshelter, can we take this conversation to #mixxx? | 02:36 |
| sync3times | somepoundcake, so you are behind a NAT Firewall. probably your modem you will have to change settings there to make sure the peers can get in | 02:36 |
| jacquesdupontd | i've read the wiki seeing that it's a sort of multiboot replacing the mbr | 02:36 |
| jacquesdupontd | so the grub | 02:36 |
| noshelter | mezquitale sure, but this is the first time i look at this project, so patience with me pls :) | 02:37 |
| somepoundcake | sync3times, hmm how could I do that? :| | 02:37 |
| jacquesdupontd | my laptop has this capability and uefi shell | 02:37 |

| marenostrum | navidhg: have a look at ardour | 02:41 |
| danfg | lstarnes: it does say "rotate 4", but, inside /etc/logrotate.d/, there is nothing related to mail. so is logrotate.d just erasing the mail.log and not doing the other things? | 02:41 |
| === shenzhong is now known as xanadu | ||
| akk | apn: If I switch that to hplip, does that mean it'll run HP backends that do the right thing and find the printer on USB? | 02:41 |
| sync3times | Xarver_, you have to be hardwired to connect to the router | 02:41 |
| textex | anyone here thats pretty good on intelfb and such+ | 02:41 |
| lstarnes | danfg: it is rotating mail.log using the default global settings in /etc/logrotate.conf | 02:42 |
| Xarver_ | sync3times, ok. | 02:42 |
| apn | akk, it should not be the reason. it just the way it communicates. on the other hand, you can try. | 02:42 |

| lstarnes | danfg: you can add an extra entry in /etc/logrotate.d. Look at the existing files there fore examples | 02:42 |
| hole_ | I am using ubuntu 9.10 and i've deleted my bottom toolbar. I have built a completely new one exept for my battery life indicator how can i make one of those? | 02:42 |
| marenostrum | !ardour | navidhg | 02:42 |
| lstarnes | *for | 02:42 |
| sync3times | Xarver_, wireless routers are firewalls | 02:42 |
| textex | when using my vga card ubuntu starts fine, but when trying to connect my machine to a lcd tv using a dvi card, i get "failed to restore intelfb crtc error" | 02:42 |
| textex | anyone? | 02:43 |
| gehzumteufel | Okay anyone here know xterm scripting?? | 02:43 |
| leprechau | so...I am currently using archlinux and have been for awhile but wanted to give my wife something more user-friendly on her laptop so I put ubuntu on it several months ago and updated it to karmic not that long ago | 02:43 |
| gehzumteufel | xterm environment scripting | 02:44 |
| leprechau | problem...anyone know how long it takes ubuntu to release software like thunderbird 3.0 to the repos? | 02:44 |
| danfg | lstarnes: if you say so. i'll change it then to "rotate 32" (8 months i guess). i know something is already doing the rotation (syslogd?) so i won't add anything regarding mail.log in /etc/logrotate.d/ | 02:44 |
| danfg | lstarnes: thanks | 02:44 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, you mean bash scripting? | 02:44 |
| lstarnes | danfg: do you want to do that for ALL logs, or just mail.log? | 02:44 |
| dhananjay | hi all | 02:44 |
| apn | textex, can you paste logs? | 02:44 |
| gehzumteufel | leprechau: No, this would be xterm shell scripting that I am referring to | 02:45 |
| textex | apn, its kind of hard as it fucks up before i manage to enter ubuntu | 02:45 |
| textex | it just starts giving me this error and blinks with the screen | 02:45 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, xterm is just another terminal app .... it's not a shell | 02:45 |
| gehzumteufel | I am constantly on SSH for work, but I have 40 servers I ssh between, and determining which one is which, is a bitch | 02:45 |
| sync3times | gehzumteufel, some terminals allow you to create "menus" is that what you mean? | 02:45 |
| textex | someone told me to add i915.modeset=0 somewhere, but i dont know where and when | 02:45 |
| hole_ | I am using ubuntu 9.10 and i've deleted my bottom toolbar. I have built a completely new one exept for my battery life indicator how can i make one of those? | 02:46 |
| gehzumteufel | sync3times: basically, I want the app to detect what the prompt is on connection. That way I don't just see user@server9827450924 | 02:46 |
| apn | textex, the files should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 02:46 |
| apn | textex, the log | 02:46 |
| gehzumteufel | And have an alias with that prompt | 02:46 |
| gehzumteufel | an alias for the tab | 02:46 |
| dhananjay | I'm trying to install kubuntu-karmic onto an computer with repository dvds, When I write apt-get install it asks several times for same dvd. | 02:46 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, that's easy to do...just setup your login profile(s) on the servers you are connecting to | 02:47 |
| textex | apn, any idea where i should enter the i915 command? | 02:47 |
| textex | Once i came to some kind of grub menu before boot, but i cant get back to it | 02:47 |
| sync3times | gehzumteufel, what do you want to see? | 02:47 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, also check out: http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/ | 02:47 |
| gehzumteufel | leprechau: well I was trying to avoid that, so that I don't have to do it on every server. There are 40 of them. | 02:47 |
| apn | textex, press esc during grub menu | 02:47 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, well your servers should have proper names to begin with..it's pretty bad practice to give your servers non-descript names | 02:48 |
| sync3times | gehzumteufel, you could use a modern terminal that has profiles and the profiles will log you in and set the title to the window | 02:48 |
| gehzumteufel | sync3times: such as? | 02:48 |
| sync3times | gehzumteufel, gnome-terminal and konsole should both be able to do it. If not , try putty | 02:48 |
| gehzumteufel | I use konsole | 02:48 |
| hole_ | Is there any way to make a new power icon on a new panel? (if I accidentally deleted my bottom panel) | 02:48 |
| gehzumteufel | But then I would have to change the profile for every server | 02:49 |
| gehzumteufel | I want this all automated | 02:49 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, no you don't ... konsole will do it if you just pass the option to konsole when you start it | 02:49 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, ok. What do I do? I have 0 seeds and 0 peers | 02:49 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, setup some 'book marks' that start konsole and set the title | 02:49 |
| gehzumteufel | I start 1 instance and open multiple tabs | 02:49 |
| sync3times | gehzumteufel, well, in putty, you could create a file that has all the profiles in it. It would be a simple cut and paste. | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | Bookmarks don't set the title | 02:50 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, but that's still nasty ... set your freaking profiles | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | leprechau: the profiles would still need changing with every tab | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | or session | 02:50 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, you are trying to do something locally that should be done on the server side | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | agreed | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | lol | 02:50 |
| gehzumteufel | So how do I change it on the server? | 02:51 |
| sync3times | Xarver_are you hardwired now? | 02:51 |
| gehzumteufel | I only have remote access....I can do it via bashrc right? | 02:51 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, yes | 02:51 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ browse 192.168.0.1 | 02:51 |
| hole_ | Is there any way to make a new power icon on a new panel? (if I accidentally deleted my bottom panel) | 02:52 |
| marenostrum | hole_: I am still on 9.04 but I see the power manager applet among toolbar applets. When the battery is full it doesn't show up on the toolbar | 02:52 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, ? | 02:52 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, sure... first read here: http://www.mit.edu/afs/athena/system/x11r4/src/mit/clients/xterm/ctlseq2.txt those are all the standard escapes | 02:52 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ put 192.168.0.1 into your browser location bar. The firewall blocking you is administered in this way | 02:53 |
| Xarver__ | ok | 02:53 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, and in your bashrc or profile stick something like: echo -ne "\033]0;"TheWindowTitleHere"\007" | 02:53 |
| gehzumteufel | Okay I just redifined PS1, but what do I do to put it in brackets? | 02:53 |
| dhananjay | anyone help me? | 02:53 |
| marenostrum | hole_: right click on the toolbar, click add and you will see it there and click add | 02:54 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, it asks me for a username and password. And all of a sudden I am getting 120kb download speed. But 0 upload speed. I need upload speed. :| | 02:54 |
| EugeneKay | Anybody have a Dell Studio XPS 13? What can you tell me about driver support(WiFi and nVidia hybrid SLI support in particular)? | 02:54 |
| gehzumteufel | nm | 02:54 |
| gehzumteufel | Got it | 02:54 |
| Xarver__ | woah | 02:54 |
| Xarver__ | I started uploading. :o | 02:54 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ tell me everything on the web page | 02:55 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, 401 Unauthorized | 02:55 |
| leprechau | gehzumteufel, actually google just gave you a better one than I did: http://www.fvue.nl/wiki/Bash:_How_to_change_tab_and_window_title_of_console | 02:55 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ hit back | 02:55 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, ok. | 02:55 |
| gehzumteufel | leprechau: sick thanks! | 02:56 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, then what. | 02:56 |
| marenostrum | hole_: Any success? | 02:56 |
| sync3times | does it say what brandname you are dealing with? | 02:56 |
| Xarver__ | hold on | 02:57 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ what does the menu say when you to to 192.168.0.1 | 02:57 |
| textex | apn, http://www.pastebin.com/m7ea096d | 02:58 |
| Xarver__ | its 192.168.0.101 | 02:58 |
| textex | apn, xorg0 log | 02:58 |
| jchouinard | does anyone have any thoughts as to why lid-close events don't seem to be working if I just use an xinitrc instead of running gdm? I'm using Karmic on a MacBook Pro, it all works perfectly if I use gdm. I don't see anything obvious in syslog, it's like something else is trapping the event before it gets handled. | 02:58 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, I get my apache server | 02:58 |
| hole_ | working on it | 02:58 |
| nevets04 | How do I search through the package manager | 02:59 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ are you routing through your server to get to the internet? | 02:59 |
| Blue1 | nevets04: dpkg -l | grep <nameofpackage> | 03:00 |
| hole_ | no i still cant find it on that list or online | 03:00 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, I have a server for testing php. | 03:00 |
| Xarver__ | So it shows all of my www files sync3times | 03:01 |
| sync3times | Xarver_ are you routing through your server to get to the internet? | 03:01 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, not sure. | 03:01 |
| marenostrum | hole_: disconnect your power cord to let applet show up on the toolbar. | 03:01 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, does your server have multiple ethernet cards? | 03:01 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, it's not really a server, let me stop apache | 03:01 |
| hole_ | i have deleted my toolbars and had to make new ones | 03:01 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, no point | 03:02 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, oh. | 03:02 |
| Blue1 | hole_: in what? gnome? | 03:02 |
| hole_ | yes | 03:02 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, well It's not a server, just for testing php stuff. | 03:02 |
| tixtix | DVI-D-I: NO EDID data | 03:02 |
| tixtix | anyone know what it means? | 03:02 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, the software its running is not relevant | 03:02 |
| Blue1 | hole_: log back out and log back in and .gconf should re-generate as default | 03:02 |
| akk | It seems hplip doesn't work on karmic with cups. :( "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed" trying to send any print jobs to it using the hplip settings. | 03:02 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, yes but this is a desktop computer. Not a server. | 03:03 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, your server is a separate box? | 03:03 |
| danfg | lstarnes: sorry. i'd like that for mail.log only, but i don't see any alternative, there is nothing about mail.log in logrotate.conf or logrotate.d | 03:03 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, I don't have a server. | 03:03 |
| hole_ | blue1 did already | 03:03 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, so did you put 192.168.0.1 into the web browser? | 03:03 |
| Blue1 | akk: mine works fine... | 03:03 |
| lstarnes | danfg: then add something for it | 03:03 |
| sync3times | it asked you for a password. I want to know what else was on that page | 03:04 |
| akk | Blue1: How did you set up your printer? Maybe I'm doing it wrong since there are at least 3 different ways. | 03:04 |
| Blue1 | hole_: you removed .gconf right? | 03:04 |
| lstarnes | danfg: I'll see if I can find an example | 03:04 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, it doesn't give me anything. | 03:04 |
| Blue1 | akk: indeed | 03:04 |
| Blue1 | akk private message okay? | 03:04 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, and once again it's 192.168.0.101 | 03:04 |
| akk | Blue1: Certainly, appreciated. | 03:04 |
| hole_ | how can i remove .gconf | 03:04 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, type ip route | grep default | 03:05 |
| Blue1 | hole_: at a terminal prompt - type rm .gconf | 03:05 |
| hole_ | k | 03:05 |
| Blue1 | then logout and log back in - it should re-create it it... | 03:05 |
| chun | Hi, does anyone have any recommendations for an entry-level 5.1 soundcard which will be compatible with karmic/pulseaudio? | 03:05 |

| Blue1 | hole_: rm -rf .gconf | 03:06 |
| lstarnes | danfg: save the contents of http://pastebin.com/d4d4b519f to /etc/logrotate.d/mail as root | 03:06 |
| chun | or: to anyone who has a soundcard which works fine with karmic and pulseaudio, what is it? :P | 03:06 |
| marenostrum | hole_: rm -r | 03:07 |
| nevets04 | What is the command to search the package manager | 03:07 |
| hole_ | k done loggin' out | 03:07 |
| danfg | lstarnes: i'm looking into syslog.conf, i don't think logrotate deals with mail.log. i mean, it can deal with it, but syslog is already doing log rotation for it. | 03:07 |
| lstarnes | danfg: logrotate handles almost all log rotation | 03:07 |
| lstarnes | danfg: including mail.log and almost everything else in /var/log | 03:08 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, Nothing | 03:08 |
| lstarnes | danfg: I don't think syslog rotates anything without using logrotate | 03:08 |
| frogzoo | correct | 03:09 |

| lstarnes | !ssh | | 03:09 |
| ubottu | : SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 03:09 |
| tylerplack | I want to learn all of the commands, etc | 03:09 |
| Blue1 | tylerplack: man ssh | 03:10 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, username admin password blank | 03:10 |
| tylerplack | or just know how to use a server environment | 03:10 |
| lstarnes | tylerplack: the commands used in shells over ssh are usually the same that you would use with a direct login | 03:10 |
| Blue1 | tylerplack: generally you must be running the openssh server on the target machine... | 03:10 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, sorry, wrong line Username User password blank | 03:10 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, doesn't work. | 03:10 |
| Xarver__ | ok | 03:10 |
| tylerplack | Well I have a VPS and I am trying to learn all about SSH so I can take advantage of it | 03:11 |
| tylerplack | so would this be a good link for me? | 03:11 |
| tylerplack | http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 | 03:11 |
| Blue1 | tylerplack: sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 03:11 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, what will this do? | 03:11 |
| tylerplack | I will try that blue1 | 03:11 |
| tylerplack | I have it installed | 03:12 |
| tylerplack | now what? | 03:12 |
| sync3times | Xarver__, there weill be options inside there for applications/gaming/dmz to poke holes in the firewall and allows the peers to reach your machine | 03:12 |
| Hermitcrab | ...I don`t see to be able to set sound volume, any tips? | 03:12 |
| Xarver__ | sync3times, What if I mess something up? | 03:12 |

| sync3times | Xarver__, well, I got you as far as I can. | 03:14 |
| ChogyDan | protojay: is it slow? | 03:14 |
| tylerplack | lstarnes: how can I get started? | 03:14 |
| lstarnes | tylerplack: it works just like a regular terminal or command line session in linux | 03:14 |
| protojay | its like 3d rendering is fast as heck, but loading game/levels is slow | 03:14 |
| lstarnes | tylerplack: in a terminal: ssh user@IP | 03:15 |

| lstarnes | tylerplack: to connect to your local maching using your own user account, use ssh yourusername@localhost | 03:15 |
| tylerplack | and I know the basics | 03:15 |
| protojay | ive got a 2ghz dualcore intel with 3gb ram and a fast gfx card by ati | 03:15 |

| ubottu | protojay: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 03:30 |

| crc32 | So why can't I just hit "C" linux single? | 03:30 |
| protojay | !virtualizers | 03:31 |
| ubottu | There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 03:31 |
| lstarnes | crc32: what happens when you try to do that? | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: Virtualbox :) | 03:31 |
| protojay | !Virtualbox | 03:31 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 03:31 |
| cgkades | virtualbox is awesome | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: the non free, is free as in price, not freedom | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | 03:31 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 03:31 |
| sebsebseb | cgkades: indeed | 03:31 |

| sebsebseb | protojay: it also has USB support unlike the Open Source Edition | 03:32 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: as of Virtualbox 3.0 there is some Direct3D 8 support, that you could try for a few games, it might be alright, depending on game, and your computer | 03:32 |
| sebsebseb | you can get 3D Windows games working in Wine, some will just work. 2D Windows games same thing, and those should be alright in a vm a lot of them | 03:33 |

| lstarnes | crc32: is there a recovery mode option? | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: plus there are some pretty good native Linux games :) | 03:34 |
| crc32 | yes recovery mode does the same thing. It goes to fsck then claims the file system is clean then hangs | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | cgkades: most of Office 2003 just works, as for Photoshop CS3 you had to configure to get that working well or? | 03:35 |

| cgkades | sebsebseb: i think so... i didn't do that much with it | 03:36 |
| Brixius | crc32: I'd have to reboot to get the command lines, I don't have any vm's on my laptop to walk through it, but there should be an option to edit the boot command which should give you a bunch of things already on the line you would have to add single to the end of it. | 03:36 |

| crc32 | sebsebseb no I fresh installed 9.10 2 weeks ago then did apt-get upgade and then rebooted. The machine didn't survive. | 03:38 |
| Brixius | crc32: if you boot the install cd you should be able to mount the hdd and get to /var/log/apt/term.log file | 03:38 |
| protojay | sebsebseb do i need a fresh copy of windows or is windows emulated ala wine? | 03:38 |
| webbb82 | ok i juist did edit gconf but it says file not found what the heck this is what it says Error stating file '/home/brian/Gconf-editor': No such file or directory | 03:39 |
| Brixius | crc32: use the live cd option when booting | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: Wine does not run Windows, it gives you basically a sort of fake WIndows install, that then tricks many Windows apps into thinking (well apps don't think, but you get the idea I guess) that they are running on Windows | 03:39 |
| webbb82 | where did it go | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: quite a lot of apps just work and work well, others need some configuring | 03:40 |

| crc32 | Yea just 1 kernel. I did the boot single user mode and I'm stuck at some whered initramfs prompt. | 03:41 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: some things a vm can't do, but you can do most Windows stuff in a vm, depending on your computer, how much RAM you have and such | 03:41 |
| cwillu_clone | crc32, ls /dev/sd* | 03:41 |
| crc32 | What happnes after fsck since thats where ubuntu is dying | 03:42 |
| protojay | sebsebseb: so if i use an virtualmachine, i need a copy of windows on cd/dvd to install? | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | crc32, one of them that comes back you should be able to do this with: mount /dev/sda1 /root | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | (try each one) | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | endeavormac: your making software for Windows? :( | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | crc32, when one succeeds (i.e., doesn't print an error) | 03:42 |
| webbb82 | cwillu_clone, do u know the command | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | crc32, press ctrl-d | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | webbb82, gconf-editor | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: yes or an ISO | 03:42 |
| protojay | ah right | 03:42 |
| cwillu_clone | webbb82, _not_ Gconf-editor | 03:42 |
| protojay | transmission should do that nicely :) | 03:42 |
| crc32 | Honestly am I looking at a reinstall here? | 03:42 |
| crc32 | Whats the steps? | 03:43 |
| webbb82 | oh the capital G ? | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: however when it comes to apps this is how it should be done really :) 1. native Linux apps :) 2. Wine or even commercial paid for versions of it. 3. virtual machine 4. psyical Windows install | 03:43 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: 1. will fit most computer needs :) | 03:44 |
| endeavormac | sebsebseb: argh yeah, this is terrible. Try searching for documentation on anything with Windows. MSDN covers 5 different languages for the whole project "Windows." I think I would like to 1) develop games 2) create a server 3) write a driver. Well all the code for all of that is encompassed in one mega project, who documentation is incredibly frustrating to go through, and wtf I don't want C# I want C++... Alright I'm done | 03:44 |
| ChogyDan | crc32: reinstall may be the easiest fix, specially since you just installed | 03:44 |

| Brixius | crc32: is your hard drive making any weird clicking noises? | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: that's good your blaming the lap top not Ubuntu :) yeah Ubuntu on hardware that isn't supported properly by it can be a pain, since lack of manufacture support | 03:46 |
| protojay | sebsebseb, oh, its problems ive had for ages while running windows, cdrom takes AGEEES to read certain dvds or cds | 03:46 |
| protojay | on linux, trying to mount it returns an error | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | protojay: oh that issue is on Windows as well hmm, could be a failing cdrom drive | 03:46 |
| protojay | until the drive feels like reading the media | 03:46 |
| protojay | yeh | 03:46 |
| crc32 | I really don't feel like reinstalling till I know why this broke. I can't help but think this will happen again. | 03:46 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? | 03:48 |
| Brixius | crc32: don't be so sure, I'm guessing you will be able to mount the hdd, and there will be at least, vi and less | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: what file format are those in? | 03:48 |
| crc32 | the min CD is going into rescue mode but apparently it needs to download them. | 03:48 |

| marenostrum | crc32: you say "upgrade" not "update". I understand as upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10. 9.10 live cd gives a strong idea about the drivers of 9.10 even if the backages are updated.Means,if your machine runs 9.10 live, it will for sure run 9.10 installation. Find/create a 9.10 CD and test, if you listen to me. And what's more you can reach/edi your existin files with it, a well. | 03:56 |

| ChaoticXSinZ | protojay: Yes | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: ok if things are working properly on the LIve CD, you can install it, and they probably wil in a real install as well | 04:04 |
| akk | crc32: When "can't boot anymore" stuff happens to me with ubuntu it's usually X server settings involving DRI/GL. | 04:04 |
| protojay | how? | 04:04 |
| apn | protojay, yes. in terminal sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mount/point | 04:04 |
| sync3times | protojay, check out the loop option | 04:04 |
| anonymous3 | I tried some of the games...that came with it | 04:04 |
| protojay | i see | 04:04 |
| akk | crc32: (not saying it is for you, just that that sort of thing seems to happen to me a lot) | 04:04 |
| garret | I just decided to move full-force to Ubuntu today (cold-turkey from Windows) and I just gotta say, this OS is a power-user's dream. | 04:04 |
| anonymous3 | Chess is supposed to be 3d...said Python has no 3d support | 04:04 |
| anonymous3 | so...I don't know what to do about that | 04:04 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | garret: Exactly :P | 04:05 |
| jtrucks | is there a panel widget/applet for showing wifi strength in Gnome? | 04:05 |
| === garret is now known as Belinrahs | ||
| ChaoticXSinZ | jtrucks: Yes | 04:05 |
| jtrucks | I can't seem to find it :( | 04:05 |
| sebsebseb | garret: Windows power user? well yeah maybe for those. Linux power users on the other hand have many distros to choose from :) not just Ubuntu | 04:05 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | you should have it by default, Network manager | 04:05 |
| crc32 | akk: Thats another thing I boot into console to avoid any damage like that but now its like I can't even get that far | 04:05 |
| sync3times | anonymous3, there is a 3d module I think | 04:05 |
| Belinrahs | Power user in general, maybe. | 04:05 |
| apn | jtrucks, nm-applet is the easiest. | 04:05 |
| Belinrahs | Ubuntu's just my favorite. :P | 04:06 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Could someone direct me as to where I can find the font "Sans Bold" on my Ubuntu installation? I can't seem to find it in /usr/share/fonts. (BTW Not FreeSans or Liberations etc) | 04:06 |
| anonymous3 | Ummm I have an integrated chipset....so maybe Ubuntu didn't have a driver for it | 04:06 |
| akk | crc32: Ouch. Can it boot single-user? | 04:06 |
| Brixius | anonymous3: what video card do you have? you may need to install the correct video drivers | 04:06 |
| anonymous3 | Thats why I wanted to know if there is a Driver updater | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: main thing, is that it looks ok, and your Internet works | 04:06 |
| crc32 | reinstall grub boo loader woulden't help me right since well a kernel came up already. | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: when you install, you will get updates | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: after install, you will get software updates | 04:06 |
| anonymous3 | yeah but I won't get new drivers | 04:07 |
| FuzzyKittens-TC | my server seems to take forever to reboot. it seems to get stuck on "saving the system clock" any tips on speeding up this process? | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: and you can also try system > adminstartion > hardware drivers and install stuff that is available if anything | 04:07 |
| apn | anonymous3, you will | 04:07 |
| skitzo | oh well lol que the crickets i guess | 04:07 |
| Belinrahs | Are KDE and GNOME apps backwards-compatible with each other? | 04:07 |
| Brixius | anonymous3: do a lspci from a shell and see what it lists as a video card | 04:07 |
| === charitwo` is now known as O_o | ||
| crc32 | akk: Nope this problem happens before even that as it hangs right after fsck supposedly give the file system a clean bill of health. It feels more like this problem is during the ramdisk chroot to the root file system. | 04:07 |
| apn | Belinrahs, no. but you can use any app in any de | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: also most hardware support is built in to the Linux kernel itself, it's just graphics cards and wireless where people usually have to get drivers seperatly | 04:07 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Belinrahs: If you mean GNOME apps running KDE and KDE apps in GNOME then yes. | 04:07 |
| jtrucks | ChaoticXSinZ: I'm tweaking/fixing my sister's mini 9 ubuntu machine (she isn | 04:07 |
| skitzo | i'm thinking i should of just stuck to the 32bit :) | 04:07 |

| Belinrahs | While I'm still talking, could anyone suggest a C++ programming environment for Linux, similar to Dev-C++ for windows? | 04:08 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Belinrahs, if you mean IDE there are plenty | 04:08 |
| jtrucks | ChaoticXSinZ: Network Manager is installed, but I casn't find where I can make it show wifi strength on the panel | 04:09 |
| skitzo | ChaoticXSinZ, hey dude, well not trouble just need help.. i just want to know how to install x64 java or is it even worth it since firefox isn't x64 | 04:09 |
| Belinrahs | Right. Any suggestions? | 04:09 |
| sync3times | Belinrahs, eclipse | 04:09 |
| arquebus | Belinrahs: Eclipse or Netbeans | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: ok install it then :) | 04:09 |
| Belinrahs | Okey doke sounds like I'll try eclipse. | 04:09 |
| anonymous3 | But I don't know exactly what the driver is......so thats my main worry | 04:09 |
| apn | Belinrahs, eclipse, anjuta | 04:09 |
| apn | Belinrahs, vim is good as well. | 04:09 |
| akk | crc32: Could it possibly be something related to bug 447747 ? | 04:09 |

| ChaoticXSinZ | skitzo: I have everything running fine on my 64bit. java flash firefox, chrome etc | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: if it was just working on the Live CD, it is likely to on a real install as well | 04:09 |
| arquebus | Belinrahs: codeblocks is good too | 04:09 |
| apn | anonymous3, on average, not. | 04:10 |
| akk | crc32: I had a "can't boot" problem because of that, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447747 | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: certain Intel graphics cards and Ubuntu 9.04 yes | 04:10 |
| anonymous3 | Oh... | 04:10 |
| crc32 | yea the boot log is empty so it has to be during the root file system moun WTF? | 04:10 |

| ibkanat | I want to upgrade my kernel is this the easiest way? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 04:10 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | jtrucks: Try typing ALT-F2, then "nm-applet" then Run | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: ,but you said you booted up 9.10? and everything looked ok, so your fine | 04:10 |
| ibkanat | it fails on inserting my nvidia and vbox modules | 04:10 |
| skitzo | ChaoticXSinZ, so is it worth installing x64 java then if say im running a 32bit java application on my x64 system | 04:10 |
| anonymous3 | I need to save whatever I need to a flash card | 04:10 |
| jtrucks | apn: I can | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: you should be able to do that using the Live CD | 04:11 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | skitzo: JAVA programs are neither 32 or 64 bit as far as I know | 04:11 |
| ibkanat | anyone know? | 04:11 |
| anonymous3 | and I heard Linux Mint is good for beginners...so thats distracted me | 04:11 |
| ChogyDan | ibkanat: no, those kernels wont work for nvidia, etc | 04:11 |
| jtrucks | apn: I don't see nm-applet in the 8.04 repos this is configured for. do you recall where I | 04:11 |
| jtrucks | d look for it? | 04:11 |
| anonymous3 | I can save windows files using Live Cd? | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: only thing with a Live CD, is if your computer turns off or re boots, you lose what you did, unless it went on the hard disk or something | 04:11 |
| ibkanat | ChogyDan which ones will? | 04:12 |
| blakkheim | ChaoticXSinZ: please don't spread misinformation | 04:12 |
| ChogyDan | ibkanat: why do you want to upgrade your kernel? | 04:12 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | ibkanat: I think this has a newer kernel and work for faster booting, http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-boot/ppa/ubuntu | 04:12 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | blakkheim: What flase info? | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: Mint is based on Ubuntu, your not meant to get support for it in here. Ubuntu has a much bigger user support community than Mint | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | anonymous3: also Mint isn't a really good distro | 04:12 |
| blakkheim | ChaoticXSinZ: about 32/64bit programs | 04:12 |
| ibkanat | vbox performance on guest is terrible I improved it with a build but read that upgrade fixes | 04:12 |
| pinPoint | hey I cannot see parts of my menus and bottom trays. | 04:12 |

| ChaoticXSinZ | blakkheim: He asked if JAVA programs are 32bit/64bit but aren't they just compiled to java byte code which is interpreted by the Java runtime (which is 32 or 64 bit) | 04:13 |
| ibkanat | I would like 2.6.33 | 04:13 |
| PepeSilvia | hi, does anyone know if I can extend /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose with a dot file in my home directory? | 04:13 |
| crc32 | So if this little screw job is hapening during the original mount on boot up how the hell do I fix it? | 04:13 |
| apn | Hermitcrab, do you have any error when you try to open volume control? | 04:14 |
| ibkanat | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/current/ | 04:14 |
| ibkanat | ? | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | Hermitcrab: it's ok to ask here, but you can also try #xubuntu | 04:14 |
| Hermitcrab | OK sebsebseb , didn`t know... | 04:14 |
| ibkanat | what are the drm and drm-next? | 04:14 |
| crc32 | I know the steps are boot kernal copy to initrd , load modules, fsck file systems, then mount root file system read-write. | 04:14 |
| Hermitcrab | apn, Not at all...let me try again... | 04:14 |
| crc32 | That last step is where I'm getting screwed over how do i fix this? | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | Hermitcrab: yes didn't think you did, hence the message :) | 04:14 |
| ChogyDan | ibkanat: I don't really know, but those mainline kernels won't work with the nvidia drivers. You may be able to install the drivers manually, and virtualbox by grabbing it from the website | 04:14 |
| PepeSilvia | or does anyone know of another way to define your own compose key sequences? | 04:15 |
| crc32 | Wha config file initscript mounts the root file system then chroots it? | 04:15 |
| apn | PepeSilvia, you can link it with symlink (ln -s ) | 04:15 |
| Hermitcrab | I click on it and it open Mixer | 04:15 |
| PepeSilvia | apn: how do you mean? | 04:15 |
| ChogyDan | ibkanat: you could also try just installing the lucid kernel. You could also just upgrade to lucid, but it is in the very early stages, and will suffer breakage | 04:15 |
| apn | PepeSilvia, in gconf-editor (if you don't like the gui) | 04:16 |
| ibkanat | is there another safe place to look for recent kernels? | 04:16 |
| Hermitcrab | I chose Master in Select Controls | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | ibkanat: a later kernel why? it's useually best to stay with kernels from the Ubuntu repo | 04:16 |
| ibkanat | ChogyDan is there a list of whats broke? | 04:16 |
| bradpitt | good afternoon. i'm accidentally give ccsm opacity 0% and now i'm not be able to see it because it's transparent. is it possible to delete the config of ccsm? thanks | 04:16 |
| apn | PepeSilvia, ln -s somewhere somewhere. the system won't even realise it's different place. for more info man ln | 04:16 |
| PepeSilvia | apn: I don't understand. All sequences are defined in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose but I don't want to edit a file owned by root, that gets overwritten everytime an upgrade comes along | 04:16 |
| ChogyDan | ibkanat: nope | 04:16 |
| sebsebseb | ChogyDan: that's bad advice suggesting people like ibkanat upgrade to the lucid kernel | 04:17 |
| sebsebseb | ibkanat: there is probably a ppa for a later kernel, but why do you want one? | 04:17 |
| jtrucks | hmmm. something isn | 04:17 |
| ibkanat | sebsebseb performance in vbox is horid in the karmic kernels | 04:17 |
| jtrucks | t right here. | 04:17 |

| jtrucks | apn & ChaoticXSinZ thank you for the pointer. now I can see why it isn | 04:17 |
| ChogyDan | sebsebseb: mk... | 04:17 |
| jtrucks | t running. | 04:17 |

| sebsebseb | kheera: if you look at the description for kvm say in synaptic | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | kheera: they mention a little test, that can be done, to test if you got hardware virtualization or not, but of course bios needs setting up first | 04:31 |

| kheera | i guess i have to reboot to get into bios. see you later. thanks again. | 04:32 |
| apn | crc32, the unix way. ubuntu way might be different. one sec. | 04:32 |
| mMezquitale | ibkanat, must be an issue with your CPU then, you should follow the bug report and check "/var/messages" for anything interesting | 04:32 |
| Dark27Mage | oorah: no, the computer is not supposed to do that. Something is broken software or hardware. | 04:32 |
| crc32 | apn: before you send me on a wild goose chase can I boot off rescue disk then run fsck? | 04:33 |
| MenZa | Belinrahs: You probably want sftp. You can mount it straight in nautilus, though | 04:33 |
| MenZa | Belinrahs: Places -> Connect to Server -- select 'ssh' | 04:33 |
| oorah | i installed google chrome browser today, it rocks | 04:33 |
| Belinrahs | Oh, that sounds even better, thanks! | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | oorah: Chromeium is the open source version, that Chrome is based on | 04:33 |
| ibkanat | its being looked at thought I might be able to find a new kernel that would fix it | 04:34 |
| ibkanat | http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/5501 | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | oorah: (I was going to put Uhmm at the begining of that) | 04:34 |
| apn | crc32, in ubuntu you have to append single | 04:34 |
| oorah | is chromeium better than chrome? | 04:34 |
| ibkanat | not really keen on trying lucid in alpha | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | oorah: they are rather similar, but I guess chromeium is better really since it's open source :) unlike Chrome | 04:34 |
| ibkanat | usally messes up production | 04:34 |
| exitstate | jzman: lol | 04:35 |

| lozernoobfreek | trying to install ubuntu along side vista and xp, when installer boots goes to select time zone and stalls have waited 1+hour never had taken this long b4 any ideas | 04:35 |
| oorah | which is faster, chromeium or chrome? | 04:35 |
| thiebaude | !offtopic | oorah | 04:36 |
| ubottu | oorah: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | oorah: uhmm you can try both, but chromeium :) | 04:36 |
| crc32 | I really can't believe have 0 tools to diagnose this. /var/log/boot is blank which leads me to beleive the system is dead before the root file system can mount read write. Does any one have any suggestions at this point in the game to figure out what driver is loaded what acually fails? I'm completly blind since nothing is in /var/boot/log | 04:36 |
| crc32 | /var/log/boot | 04:36 |
| apn | oorah, they have the same engine, they are equally fast. | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | oorah: also when it comes to a web browser, how good it is at supporting web standards, is the most important thing really, and security. http://www.w3.org http://www.webstandards.org | 04:36 |
| nflava | if someone tells me to look for a config file in ~/.cohernce, is "~" a directory in my filesystem? | 04:36 |
| blakkheim | nflava: $HOME | 04:37 |
| apn | crc32, the only one you need is your file system. it might be provided in initrd, so make sure it's there. | 04:37 |
| crc32 | really what could have changed thats preventing the file system t mount? | 04:37 |
| apn | crc32, hd errors, the serious ones | 04:37 |
| lozernoobfreek | ne1? | 04:37 |
| fujimitsu | chromium is a the name of a metal.. and also the correct spelling | 04:37 |
| crc32 | so why can I mount the File syste when I boot off another disk? | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | !u > lozernoobfreek | 04:38 |
| ubottu | lozernoobfreek, please see my private message | 04:38 |
| nflava | is $HOME different from my home folder? | 04:38 |
| apn | crc32, or lack of module for your kind of fs | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | !who | fujimitsu | 04:38 |
| ubottu | fujimitsu: 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 :) | 04:38 |
| lozernoobfreek | ?? | 04:38 |
| crc32 | apn: Yea thats kinda the rub what package upgrade did this to me? | 04:38 |
| apn | nflava, try echo $HOME | 04:38 |
| crc32 | I'm on ext3 like every one else I thought. | 04:38 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: what do you need?? | 04:38 |
| fujimitsu | sebsebseb: no, i wasnt talkin to anyone in particular | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | fujimitsu: ok | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 9.10 uses Ext4 by default, previous versions use Ext3 by default | 04:39 |
| nflava | apn: in a terminal window? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 9.04 Ext3 installs that get upgraded to 9.10, won't get Ext4 or Grub 2 on upgrade | 04:39 |
| apn | nflava, yes, it will tell you what $HOME is | 04:39 |
| crc32 | I don't trust anything new which is why I picked ext3 | 04:39 |
| lozernoobfreek | i cant install ubuntu i have vista and xp on here but ubuntu wont go past the time zone select screen during install | 04:39 |

| SuperMiguel | hey guys i have about 20 mpg video that i would like to burn to a dvd and play it with my home dvd player, i used DeVeDe and tried using PAL and NTSC and none of them work after burning to a DVD.. what can i do? | 04:40 |
| lozernoobfreek | i dont know where to go | 04:40 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: did you get an error message? | 04:40 |
| lozernoobfreek | no | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: having / in 9.04 in Ext4 really makes a differnet, not properly stable there since the kernel and such. I did a boot up and shut down test for 9.10, Ext3 and then Ext4, didn't really make a difference | 04:40 |
| lozernoobfreek | im running in trial mode now | 04:40 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: what did it do exactly? | 04:41 |
| apn | mine, right click on nm-applet, edit connections, and here edit any interface you want to modify | 04:41 |
| crc32 | Crap like this is why I like to use older more tested technologies. Its hard to sell me ext4 when ubunto can't even boot now. | 04:41 |
| lozernoobfreek | its just sitting there after i clicked forward | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: oh right your doing 9.10 yeah? | 04:41 |
| nflava | how can i create a configuratoin file? | 04:41 |
| apn | crc32, lesson learned. | 04:41 |
| mine | can MAC be changed , apn | 04:42 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: so you can run it with a live cd? | 04:42 |
| lozernoobfreek | i can cancle but thats it | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 9.10 is a bit hmm, certain hardware that used to work fine in 9.04 not working, that type of thing. 9.04 is the better release for many of us really :) | 04:42 |
| lozernoobfreek | yeah thats what im on now | 04:42 |
| crc32 | apn: what lesson Dont trust ubuntu past 9.04? | 04:42 |
| lozernoobfreek | ive had it on here before | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | lozernoobfreek: your on what 9.04? | 04:42 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: what happens when you canceled it last time? | 04:43 |
| lozernoobfreek | 9.10 | 04:43 |
| apn | mine, mac address? no, and yes. not there. but you can mask your mac with different one. | 04:43 |
| starcannon | SuperMiguel check out this how to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-117709-highlight-dvd+authoring.html | 04:43 |
| lozernoobfreek | it open the live c version | 04:43 |
| apn | crc32, yes | 04:43 |
| lozernoobfreek | cd* | 04:43 |
| starcannon | SuperMiguel: I think that'll get you rolling | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: maybe this is what you should learn, anything that isn't a long term support release, is a kind of testing release | 04:43 |
| mine | how to ,spn | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: then the long term support releases are basically business quality standard | 04:43 |
| mine | how to .,apn | 04:43 |
| crc32 | I think ubuntu needs to slow down and stick with what works. We don't need another dangours distro like gentoo. | 04:44 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: is your system already a dual boot with xp & vista? | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: With Ubuntu it is not about what is the latest, it's about what is still supported. | 04:44 |
| apn | mine, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html | 04:44 |
| mine | /etc/network/interfaces , seems here | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 8.04 the current LTS is getting a bit old now, but 10.04 comes out at the end of April the next one. | 04:44 |
| crc32 | Theres not happy medium Distros are either cutting edge opps sorry you can't boot anymore or too Old like RHEL where your still on python 2.4 or other ancient technology | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: that will probably be a pretty good release :) | 04:44 |
| mine | thank you ,apn | 04:44 |
| lozernoobfreek | yep | 04:45 |
| SuperMiguel | starcannon, holly sh*t :) longgg ! | 04:45 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: how? | 04:45 |
| kheera | crap. so some acer laptops have vt enabled by default and others have it disabled by default and fro what I can tell there is no bios option to enable it. mine is disabled. | 04:45 |
| SuperMiguel | starcannon, thanks .. let me see if i find good info in there | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: RHEL is for business though, Fedora the community version isn't though, they also get loads of new stuff before Ubuntu gets it | 04:45 |
| crc32 | sebsebseb: Yea I was on 8.04 because it was stable and wanted to stick with a distro that would be supported for a while. Then I saw that 9.10 started in October was declared stable and had support for anohter 2 years. The desire for more recent packages kinda burned me. | 04:45 |
| lozernoobfreek | i had vista w/ purchas and xp givin to me when a friend upgraded to windows7 | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: ok did you ever do 8.10 or 9.04 ? | 04:46 |
| jzman | does anyone like suse 11.2 for a good server? | 04:46 |
| IdleOne | !ot | jzman | 04:46 |
| ubottu | jzman: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: beat me to it :) | 04:46 |
| crc32 | sebsebseb: We use rhel at work and it sucks for business cause it forces you to build just about every package you want so in effec you literally become your own micro distro. | 04:46 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: what software did you use to get it to dual boot? | 04:46 |
| lozernoobfreek | so i installed behind and redid the boot loader and it works | 04:46 |
| webbb82 | if i install ubuntu onnto my external hard drive will i see a big performance drop rather then installin it on my normal pc | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: there's CentOS as well based on Redhat | 04:47 |
| apn | jzman, yes. yast makes a good gui basic administration tool. their scripts are not slackware sane, but standard sane which is enough. | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | and this has gone off topic now | 04:47 |
| shadeslayers09 | i need help | 04:47 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: ,but one last thing for the off topic, Mandriva One 2010 uses RPM's and is a rather nice distro :) | 04:47 |
| starcannon | !help | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 04:47 |
| crc32 | Simple stuff like I want an ODBC connector for Sybase. Then poof your building your own RPM along with building an RPM for every dependency. | 04:48 |
| shadeslayers09 | when i start ubuntu, it won't go to the grub menu | 04:48 |
| jzman | apn : thanks, i was deciding what is best to use ubuntu, debian, suse, centos for a server | 04:48 |
| crc32 | RHEL sucks even for business. Your Engineers don't really engineer anymore they send all day building RPMS. | 04:48 |
| apn | jzman, the last 3 are fit. | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: try Mandriva or something like that :) and they don't like off topic in here | 04:48 |
| Dark27Mage | shadeslayers09: did you try using the live cd to get into the os. Then reinstall grub? | 04:49 |
| shadeslayers09 | i don't have the live CD | 04:49 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: how far can you boot? | 04:49 |
| lozernoobfreek | easybcd | 04:49 |
| jzman | apn : i have had good deals with centos, debian was decent... have not tried suse or ubuntu yet for a server | 04:50 |
| crc32 | I was happy with ubunto 8.04 untill I installed rails and ruby gems and saw how old it was then came to the concusion I guess its time to upgrade then poof nothings the same. Ubuntu is useing Grub2 some weird ass replacement for sysv-init scripts and nothing looks the same. Where was the version inbetween? | 04:50 |
| lozernoobfreek | i haven't gotten the xp all the way set up | 04:50 |
| crc32 | Who ever is useing 8.10 can you tell me what version of rubygems it came with? | 04:50 |
| shadeslayers09 | comes to the option between vista and ubuntu, i click on ubuntu and instead of having the options of ubuntu (normal) and ubuntu (recover) i get a thing like the terminal | 04:50 |
| Dark27Mage | lozernoobfreek: grub might be having trouble with the dual boot you already have. | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 8.10 and 9.04 are the versions in between | 04:50 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: google "how to restore grub" | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 8.10 will run out of support when 10.04 comes out or around then. 9.04 at the end of October or November | 04:51 |

| lozernoobfreek | is there ne thing i can do? | 04:51 |
| fujimitsu | is there a way of installing only grub2 from the 9.10-alternate cd ? or, would the "fix broken system" option do that? | 04:51 |
| crc32 | maby 9.10 will stablelize. I'm hopeing so | 04:51 |
| crc32 | It can't get any worse right? | 04:51 |
| bastidrazor | !fixgrub | Mr_Lordi shadeslayers09 | 04:51 |
| ubottu | Mr_Lordi shadeslayers09: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 04:51 |
| Dark27Mage | NeuroFuzzy: I can | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: well it's only/useually security updates from the repo | 04:52 |
| NeuroFuzzy | http://www.tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200901/avr-gcc-linux.shtml is the link to the tutorial | 04:52 |
| Mr_Lordi | lol ubottu | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: 8.10 is my favourite release over all since 8.04. ok it lacks Ext4... and ethernet didn't work on other computer | 04:52 |
| crc32 | sebsebseb: And hopefully bg fixes. Any chance ubunu will go back to sysv-inits? | 04:52 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: ubottu brings a good porint. what ubuntu release are you using? | 04:52 |
| NeuroFuzzy | i'm getting error messages from a lot of the commands | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: sysv-inits what are you refering to? | 04:53 |
| shadeslayers09 | the latest | 04:53 |
| eLLa | hi all | 04:53 |
| Dark27Mage | NeuroFuzzy: what have you been able to do? | 04:53 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: look up restorig grub2 | 04:53 |
| Mr_Lordi | restoring | 04:53 |
| crc32 | you know the rc.d sequential boot up? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: Grub 2 is here to stay, like it or not. GDM 2 the new log in screen is here to stay like it or not. This is really off topic for this channel, but 10.04 the next one, will have a better boot up, or so it seems. | 04:54 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: how fresh is your install? you might be better off blowing the partition away and starting over | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: It will use Plymouth which Fedora and Mandriva already use. | 04:54 |
| kheera | i need to buy a new laptop - what are the manufacturues with the best ubuntu support? | 04:54 |
| crc32 | 10.04 is off topic? | 04:54 |
| NeuroFuzzy | Where it says to type everything in, the "Download" command isn't recognized. When i right click the link and press "save as", then cd to the file dir and type the tar command, it says there's no such file or directory | 04:54 |
| crc32 | Whats off topic sebsebseb? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: well there's a specific channel for it #ubuntu+1 | 04:54 |
| ChogyDan | crc32: upstart is what replaces the sysv stuff | 04:55 |
| Mr_Lordi | sebsebseb: its still ubuntu and this is the ubuntu channe; | 04:55 |
| shadeslayers09 | just installed it | 04:55 |
| Mr_Lordi | shadeslayers09: just start over | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: anything that isn't support for the final versions of Ubuntu that are currently supported, so that's 8.04, 8.10, 9.04, and 9.10 | 04:55 |
| crc32 | I just wish I knew what went wrong so the problem doesn't repeat. | 04:55 |
| shadeslayers09 | ok | 04:55 |
| shadeslayers09 | thanks for the help | 04:55 |

| crc32 | Is fsck not apart of rescue mode? | 04:58 |
| lozernoobfreek | i dont get it ive had 5 os's installed | 04:58 |
| Mr_Lordi | snoopy: sudo apt-get install python | 04:59 |
| crc32 | python is already installed on ubuntu. | 04:59 |
| snoopy | ah, thanks dude | 04:59 |
| Mr_Lordi | i think its installed by default. just type python in terminal | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: I was going to put that :) | 04:59 |
| crc32 | broken apps like "apt-get" coulden't punish you for upgradeing with out python. | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: broken apps hmm | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | crc32: sure sometimes apt-get mess's up, but useuaully it works well | 05:00 |
| crc32 | apn: Yup fsck reports /dev/sda2 is clean. And I had to boot into knoppix to get it. Seems fsck wasn't avaliable on my Ubuntu rescue mode. :| | 05:01 |

| Mr_Lordi | TangentCollision: ok, so you have a gui up? | 05:11 |
| TangentCollision | right now I do, xserver with GNOME | 05:11 |
| Mr_Lordi | you dont have compiz enabled right? | 05:11 |
| TangentCollision | if I had thought about it, it would be lxde, but I didn't think about it | 05:12 |
| TangentCollision | compiz? | 05:12 |
| lozernoobfreek | well made it to keybeard layout | 05:12 |
| Mr_Lordi | TangentCollision: im going to say its a safe bet you dont have any graphics acceleration going on. some times X hangs when its shutting down advanced compiz settings | 05:12 |
| matelot | ? how can I make "find . -print" just look at the current dirrectory and not subdirs ? | 05:13 |
| TangentCollision | hmm, Mr_Lordi: what would I look at to check all of that? I never went through much on graphics | 05:13 |
| protojay | what is compiz? | 05:13 |
| lstarnes | protojay: it is the window manager that is used for providing special desktop effects | 05:14 |
| DaZ | matelot: ls? :f | 05:14 |
| TangentCollision | and you can talk nerdy to me, I've been doing this for about 9 years | 05:14 |
| Mr_Lordi | TangentCollision: advanced graphics is not enabled by default so if you know that you did not enable it you are fine | 05:14 |
| matelot | DaZ, I want to display FULL PATH of the files | 05:14 |
| TangentCollision | roger that | 05:14 |
| DaZ | eh | 05:15 |
| tomicide | is there anyone here that knows about color management for art and design software on Ubuntu(kde/gnome), and hardware for color management? | 05:15 |
| scott_ino2 | tomicide, yes i know a bit | 05:15 |
| TangentCollision | Mr_Lordi: any idea how to disable x from starting on default? | 05:16 |
| scott_ino2 | tomicide, what do you need to know | 05:16 |
| Mr_Lordi | matelot: did your try the -ls switch? | 05:16 |
| TangentCollision | I know I never enabled it on my laptop, but it's definately enabled for my server | 05:16 |
| meoblast001 | hi, i'm having a problem, i thought i had something under crontab -e for a user, but it's not there... this process starts up with the server, where else might i have put this startup command? | 05:16 |
| matelot | Mr_Lordi, on what command ? | 05:16 |
| Mr_Lordi | TangentCollision: yeah, if you google it there will be a tut | 05:17 |
| TangentCollision | cool | 05:17 |
| Mr_Lordi | matelot: give me a sec .. let me see if i can do what you want | 05:17 |
| TangentCollision | alright then, I'll check there and lay around here | 05:17 |
| scott_ino2 | tomicide, you there still? | 05:17 |
| matelot | yeah pull path of files in current dir (or preferably any dir) | 05:17 |
| Mr_Lordi | matelot: what exactly are you trying to do? | 05:17 |
| Mr_Lordi | matelot: all you need to do is ls -; | 05:18 |
| Mr_Lordi | no\ | 05:18 |
| matelot | Mr_Lordi :) just want to copy/paste full path | 05:18 |
| Mr_Lordi | ls -l | 05:18 |
| matelot | HATE TYPING :) | 05:18 |
| Mr_Lordi | oh full path | 05:18 |
| matelot | yes ;) | 05:18 |
| TangentCollision | oh, gdm remove, ha | 05:19 |
| TangentCollision | there we go then | 05:19 |
| Mr_Lordi | matelot: find /home -type f -name "*." | 05:19 |
| TangentCollision | alright, after this finishes backing up /var/www to my desktop, I'll check if it helps | 05:19 |

| evan__ | Alright, so I have this corrupted Windows Netbook that I've been trying to save for days. I decided to try installing Ubuntu onto an external drive and booting the netbook from the drive. I installed it onto the drive from my big laptop. I did not know about "GRUB", which is an OS selector? Anyway, I can't get past it to get to Windows without the external HD.. If anyone could help, much appreciated. I'm very new to Ubuntu. | 05:29 |
| lozernoobfreek | woot installing | 05:29 |
| TangentCollision | oddly enough, I just looked up "Niggardly" on dictionary.com and it's unfortunate the way it's pronounced...such a useful word with such a shameful name | 05:30 |
| cgkades | evan__: are you familar with linux at all? | 05:30 |

| dainsane11 | bluesherpa do you want cheap or good? | 05:43 |
| dainsane11 | rocketraid are cheap and acceptable while adaptech are really good but pricy | 05:44 |
| dainsane11 | something with onboard memory is preferable to avoid the fakeraid thing | 05:45 |
| cfedde | software raid is pretty good these days. given the speed difference in modern cpu vs drive bandwidth. | 05:46 |
| mizery | How can I install libstdc++5 even though libstdc++6 is latest version? | 05:48 |

| microhaxo | I have a few questions, I just bought a Netbook for my C/Unix programming class because i need my normal laptop for my Algo class. Anyway i would like to know. Should i install Ubuntu 9.10 or Kubuntu 9.10. The netbook has a Atom N280 and 2gb of Ram. Which one would perform better? | 05:51 |
| TangentCollision | how would I tell ubuntu to force? reboot | 05:51 |
| TangentCollision | how would I tell ubuntu to force reboot? | 05:52 |
| TangentCollision | would it be reboot -f? | 05:52 |
| === danopia-in-hidin is now known as danopia | ||
| === ai6pg is now known as AI6PG | ||
| di||itante | microhaxo: they will both perform similar, but Ubuntu has a netbook specific release called Ubuntu Netbook Remix that will work well | 05:52 |
| severity1 | shutdown -r now | 05:52 |
| TangentCollision | severity1: that's what the command reboot does, is it not? | 05:53 |
| TangentCollision | init 6 | 05:53 |
| Trota | asdfasdf | 05:53 |
| microhaxo | I saw several videos of that and i believe i used a 9.04 build on an older pc of my moms, i wasn't too impressed with it. I didnt like that i was limited to 1 window. | 05:53 |
| severity1 | TangentCollision, yeah | 05:53 |
| di||itante | TangentCollision:"shutdown -r now" | 05:53 |
| TangentCollision | the reason I ask is because I'm getting a hang on reboot at "saving the system clock" | 05:54 |
| AI6PG | to reboot - try "sudo shutdown -r now" | 05:54 |
| * TangentCollision facepalms | 05:54 | |
| TangentCollision | I know how to reboot ubuntu, I'm asking how to FORCE | 05:54 |
| TangentCollision | as in no confirmations | 05:54 |
| severity1 | is your system time showing the correct time? | 05:55 |
| severity1 | press the powerbutton for 5 secs. | 05:55 |
| sweetandy | don't do that | 05:55 |
| sweetandy | that's dangerous. | 05:55 |
| sweetandy | >_> | 05:56 |
| TangentCollision | severity1: to answer your question, it's a server, I want to reboot remotely, and "reboot -f" works | 05:56 |
| severity1 | hahaha | 05:56 |
| severity1 | but it hangs during reboot? | 05:56 |
| TangentCollision | yeah | 05:56 |
| TangentCollision | it hangs during normal reboot | 05:56 |
| severity1 | cbecause of system time error? | 05:56 |
| TangentCollision | because of saving system clock | 05:56 |
| severity1 | have you checked the bios | 05:57 |
| TangentCollision | severity1: to answer your question, it's a server, I want to reboot remotely, and "reboot -f" works | 05:57 |

| microhaxo | I haven't used it for a while but a few youtube vids say that there are some major bugs with some things not displaying, like exand panel bug etc. Maybe it was for the BETA or RC of 9.10 | 06:09 |

| S0LIDUS | I have just installed hardy server and wondered how i could install a minimal gnome desktop? | 06:11 |
| lstarnes | kickar: you shouldn't need to recompile the whole kernel | 06:11 |
| lstarnes | kickar: recompiling the module should work if you have the kernel headers | 06:11 |
| mizery | Package libstdc++5 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source <-- What other source can I use to install this version of libstdc++ so that I can use a Dell A920 (Lexmark Z600) printer? The only driver I can find works with libstdc++5 and not libstdc++6. Anyone? :3 | 06:11 |
| cyphase | kickar: it should do it automatically when installing the deb | 06:12 |
| blakkheim | S0LIDUS: why would you want gnome on a server/ | 06:12 |
| kickar | cyphase, thats what i thought too i am using the 9.10 32 bit | 06:12 |

| sweetandy | skitzo: :P | 06:19 |
| skitzo | di||itante, correct | 06:19 |
| BlueSherpa | dainsane11: sorry, had lost link there | 06:19 |

| switchcat | mounting the partition shouldn't be too much of an additional burden... | 06:19 |

| switchcat | who is anybody? who else is using your system? | 06:21 |
| tonyyarusso | Leoneof`: Under, system>prefs>appearance>desktop effects, change that to none. Sounds like something's bad with compiz for you. (it may be possible to configure it to work, but this workaround should save some hassle until then and I don't know how) | 06:21 |
| skitzo | i just want my two storage hd's with all my media and the filesystem for ubuntu | 06:21 |

| trimeta | Apparently apparmor and glib just had security updates. Two questions: 1. I didn't have /boot mounted when updating; I mounted it afterwards and ran update-initramfs -u, will that do all the necessary work? 2. Should I reboot to get the security updates to apply? There's nothing in USN about this update. | 06:22 |

| bazhang | Tesssa, did you md5 the iso, burn very slowly, then do the disk integrity check? | 06:28 |
| akoimeexx | Anyone have issues (and preferrably a solution) getting Wi-Fi set up and running on an HP Mini 1010nr running Netbook Remix? The steps on the wiki to correct wi-fi issues for the minis hasn't helped yet. | 06:28 |
| Tesssa | and what is md5 | 06:29 |
| seeme__ | ok, so whoever fired the script to the bot | 06:29 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | Tesssa | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Tesssa: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:29 |
| mMezquitale | Tesssa, download a live CD ISO with gparted and partition your hard drive first | 06:29 |
| cynicist | skitzo, gnome-mount --write-settings --mount-options noauto --device /dev/sda2 | 06:29 |
| switchcat | dunno about a mini or a netbook, but i just got wifi working on an hp laptop with a broacom 43xx chip | 06:29 |
| skitzo | it mounts in /media/Windows 7 | 06:29 |
| cynicist | skitzo, or add noauto to your /etc/fstab | 06:29 |
| sebsebseb | mMezquitale: she/he should be able to do it with gparted on the Ubuntu CD no problem, as long as the CD works | 06:29 |
| JeffOB | Anybody willing to offer some help smply installing ubuntu 9.10 server on a Compaq PPro 200 PC w/256MB RAM? | 06:30 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: it's a check to check to see if you have a good download the ISO or not | 06:30 |
| switchcat | wow jeff thats a bit old | 06:30 |
| cynicist | skitzo, /media/Windows 7 is just the mount point | 06:30 |
| seeme__ | !rules | 06:30 |
| ubottu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 06:30 |
| JeffOB | so I should use an older ubuntu on this PC? | 06:30 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: are you on Windows now? | 06:30 |
| Tesssa | never had to do a md5 with xubuntu | 06:31 |
| tonyyarusso | JeffOB: No, you can totally use the current release. | 06:31 |
| akoimeexx | @switchcat: Yeah, I have the b43 drivers installed, and I can see the access points (open, unrestricted. I have one set up for testing, even), but when I try to connect it just fails. | 06:31 |
| skitzo | yeah thats what <di||itante> asked wasn't it where is it mounted.. | 06:31 |
| di||itante | skitzo: so write a line in your fstab that says "/dev/sda2 /media/Windows7 ntfs noauto 0 0" | 06:31 |
| Tesssa | i wanted to compare nxubuntu with ubuntu | 06:31 |
| JeffOB | Ok, well, I'm gettng odd results like no kernal getting installed | 06:32 |
| Tesssa | no i am on xubuntu | 06:32 |
| switchcat | have you loaded wifi radar? | 06:32 |
| Tesssa | i wanted to compare nxubuntu with ubuntu | 06:32 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok | 06:32 |
| akoimeexx | Wifi radar? | 06:32 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: you don't actsauly need to install Ubuntu then | 06:32 |
| tonyyarusso | JeffOB: 1) I'd recommend the !alternate CD for installing, 2) You could even use the low-memory installation option, but at 256 I don't think you need it. 3) Consider using LXDE for your GUI instead of Gnome - you can get it by installing a minimal system first, and then 'apt-get install lubuntu-desktop'. | 06:32 |
| bazhang | Tesssa, you can simply install ubuntu-desktop | 06:32 |
| switchcat | jeff - try to install server edition maybe? | 06:32 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then select it from the log in screen | 06:32 |
| di||itante | skitzo: i dont think fstab will use the space between Windows and 7 so youll have to rename the "/media/Windows 7" to /media/Windows7" | 06:32 |
| JeffOB | 'll try low-mem instal server then.. | 06:33 |
| akoimeexx | wifi-radar looks like an old package? What's default on 9.10? | 06:33 |
| cynicist | akoimexx, no | 06:33 |
| akoimeexx | @cynicist ? first link I pulled was for dapper. | 06:34 |
| seeme__ | is there a channel to discuss ubuntu applications? | 06:34 |
| Tesssa | i know nothing about command line | 06:34 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok | 06:34 |
| Tesssa | xubuntu worked ok | 06:34 |
| dsnyders | di||itante, Could he escape the space, eg: /media/Windows\ 7 ? | 06:34 |
| akoimeexx | My bad, there's jaunty. | 06:34 |
| tonyyarusso | seeme__: Depends what you want to discuss about them. Support in here, development varies, random chatter, usage, and such in #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:35 |
| akoimeexx | Google in it's infinite wisdom... never the updated stuff first. | 06:35 |
| di||itante | dsnyders: I seem to remember that not working in fstab | 06:35 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: you will have something graphical in xubuntu for installing programs as well, but the terminal is easy to use, if you find it in the menu you run the command in that | 06:35 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, do you have linux-backports-modules installed? | 06:35 |
| ubuntutrepxe | di||itante: use octals | 06:35 |
| Tesssa | how about if i installed ubuntu 9.4 then did the upgrade | 06:35 |
| seeme__ | thank you tony | 06:35 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: maybe should be a bit more clear about what you would be telling it to do. Ubuntu is the base, then you can install other desktop environments as well, Gnome, KDE, and XFCE, and so on | 06:36 |
| akoimeexx | Let me doublecheck | 06:36 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: Which version are you currently on? | 06:36 |
| snoopy | is there any way i can hack into the white house? | 06:36 |
| snoopy | jp guys :P | 06:36 |
| Tesssa | i am using xubuntu 9.10 | 06:36 |
| bazhang | !ot | snoopy | 06:36 |
| ubottu | snoopy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:36 |
| Tesssa | no problems with it | 06:36 |
| oldude67 | updated the hardware in my production box now when i try to load ubuntu it gives me a kernel panic error..:(???? | 06:36 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: What did you mean install the upgrade then? | 06:37 |
| Tesssa | i just wantes to compare xubuntu with ubuntu | 06:37 |
| imani | hello | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: yes and you can do that, without installing it as an operating system | 06:37 |
| imani | i dont get you | 06:37 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: you can install the Gnome desktop environment that Ubuntu uses into your Xubuntu install, and then select it from the log in screen | 06:37 |
| Tesssa | i did the upgrade from xubuntu 9.4 to 9.10 | 06:37 |
| imani | can you help me out on how to install nagios | 06:38 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok the upgrade is not relivant for what you want to do | 06:38 |
| akoimeexx | None installed. Anyone in particular I should be using? Or just stick with apt-get install linux-backports-modules? | 06:38 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, no they should be uninstalled | 06:38 |
| akoimeexx | They are | 06:38 |
| tonyyarusso | imani: have you read the page in the server guide yet? | 06:38 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, do two drivers show up in the restricted driver manager? b43 and STA? | 06:38 |
| di||itante | imani: "sudo apt-get install nagios3" | 06:39 |
| akoimeexx | STA is missing, doesn't even show up. | 06:39 |
| imani | ok | 06:39 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: How much space is Xubuntu taking up? Any idea how much RAM you have? | 06:39 |
| akoimeexx | I was wondering about that. | 06:39 |
| tonyyarusso | imani: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/nagios.html will get you started. | 06:39 |
| Tesssa | it takes the whole HD up | 06:39 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok | 06:39 |
| imani | ok | 06:39 |
| imani | thank you | 06:39 |
| Tesssa | 4gb | 06:39 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok | 06:39 |
| Inzuka | I have the latest ALSA drivers, however, when I click on the sound preferences, no hardware comes up. Anyone have any ideas why I have no sound? | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: this is the easy way for you to try Ubuntu/Gnome run the command in your terminal and install it | 06:40 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, do you have bcmwl-kernel-source installed? | 06:40 |
| switchcat | mini | 06:40 |
| imani | check the settings for sound if correctly set | 06:40 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: then as I already put select it from the log in screen. | 06:40 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a linux tool for viewing windows event logs? | 06:40 |
| Tesssa | #what do i actually type in the command | 06:40 |
| akoimeexx | Yes | 06:40 |
| Inzuka | What settings am I looking around for? | 06:41 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 06:41 |
| akoimeexx | As well as bcmwl-modaliases | 06:41 |
| Tesssa | ok will try that and thank you sebsebseb | 06:42 |
| imani | I had a similar problem but imaged to fix it, now i can hear music properly | 06:42 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: you can also try Kubuntu/KDE after this if you want to | 06:42 |
| Tesssa | i dont like KDE | 06:42 |
| Inzuka | What was your solution, imani? | 06:42 |
| Tesssa | but thanks :) | 06:42 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, uninstall bcmwl-modaliases and reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source, then reboot and you should be good | 06:43 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: oh right how come? there's also LXDE/Lubuntu which is light waight like Xubuntu/XFCE | 06:43 |
| imani | go to sound icon | 06:43 |
| akoimeexx | Alright, I'll give it a shot. | 06:43 |
| Tesssa | i dont like the kde interface | 06:43 |
| akoimeexx | Thanks cynicist. | 06:43 |
| Tesssa | personal choice i suppose | 06:43 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: yeah | 06:43 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, glad I could help :D | 06:43 |
| imani | right click and select sound preference | 06:43 |
| Tesssa | got to go and thanks for the help | 06:44 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok np | 06:44 |
| imani | go to output button | 06:44 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: why did yo ustart on Xubuntu? | 06:44 |
| indus | how to enable hdmi in video card output | 06:44 |
| Tesssa | i prefered xubuntu interface | 06:44 |
| J11 | I'm trying to update from jaunty to karmic. During the upgrade the sources are changed to use the main server instead of my favorite mirror. Is there a way to force it to use that mirror? | 06:44 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: ok | 06:45 |
| sebsebseb | Tesssa: well enjoy Ubuntu/Gnome :) | 06:45 |
| Tesssa | will let you know if it works or not :) | 06:45 |
| imani | then connector, select Analog output (LFE) /No Amplifier | 06:45 |
| imani | Then try to play an audio file | 06:45 |
| imani | update me if it works | 06:46 |
| Inzuka | Ah, well luckily for you, you have sound device options there. All that is there for me is "Dummy Output" with "Stereo" as its sub-text. | 06:46 |
| akoimeexx | Huzzah! Connection established on the HP Mini! Thanks again cynicist! | 06:49 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, awesome, good to hear :) | 06:50 |
| akoimeexx | I'll see about adding that into the wiki. | 06:50 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, mind linking me? I'd like to see it | 06:50 |

| snoopy | can ubuntu get a virus or trojan or something? | 06:53 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | snoopy | 06:53 |
| ubottu | snoopy: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 06:53 |
| J11 | If you run a virus in wine, maybe. | 06:54 |
| bazhang | snoopy, possibly a rootkit, but not a virus / trojan | 06:54 |
| cynicist | snoopy, any OS can, but you are not likely to run into one with Ubuntu | 06:54 |
| snoopy | will it mess up my computer? | 06:54 |
| cynicist | snoopy, you can download a livecd to test it out before installing. It will be slower because its limited to the speed of the cd drive but it won't touch your hard drive at all | 06:55 |
| akoimeexx | cynicist: Sure can, as soon as wiki.ubuntu.com loads faster. | 06:55 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, lol thanks | 06:55 |
| sebsebseb | snoopy: Wine virus some will work properly in there not many, some will partly run in Wine, and they won't infect Ubuntu | 06:55 |
| snoopy | woo, okay good. Thanks man | 06:56 |
| imani | Can someone help me on how to install internet explorer 6 0r 7 | 06:56 |
| snoopy | I been hearing a lot about them and i was just wondering if they mess up my computer and what not | 06:56 |
| sebsebseb | imani: why do you want to do that? | 06:56 |
| vdp_ubuntu | helo, I will like to know if there is a way I can install codecs for avi files on ubuntu? | 06:56 |
| sebsebseb | snoopy: hearing a lot about them for Windows or? | 06:56 |
| panlin | install internet explorer? are you crazy? | 06:56 |
| bazhang | vdp_ubuntu, ubuntu-restricted-extras package | 06:57 |
| sebsebseb | vdp_ubuntu: if you open up the AVI, it should ask you to install a codec, or do what bazhang suggested with sudo apt-get | 06:57 |
| cynicist | vdp_ubuntu, usually if you play it with totem it will point out which packages to download | 06:57 |
| imani | we have our system that works best in internet explorer than mozilla | 06:57 |
| snoopy | for ubuntu | 06:57 |
| sebsebseb | vdp_ubuntu: and no package at the end of it | 06:57 |
| J11 | Didn't wine makes the entire disk available by default? In that case a virus may alter some files. | 06:57 |
| sebsebseb | imani: what kind of system? | 06:57 |
| J11 | But you can change that behavior. | 06:57 |
| vdp_ubuntu | sebsebseb: but I don't have internet on all the machines so I need to know which package I must download | 06:58 |
| sebsebseb | imani: also Internet Explorer only stuff is bad! there are ways to have it with Ubuntu though | 06:58 |
| cynicist | imani, you will want to install wine and then run the ie installer with it | 06:58 |
| ubuntutrepxe | J11: only the home directory as long as you're not root | 06:58 |
| sebsebseb | vdp_ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will give you AVI, Flash, Java, etc | 06:58 |
| jmichelsen | I'm having an LIRC problem. The deamon won't start via /etc/init.d/lirc but but I can run the commands manually and it runs fine. I can't seem to figure this out. Anyone care to poke at this a bit? | 06:58 |
| imani | Our local computerized Human resource management system | 06:59 |
| vdp_ubuntu | sebsebseb: and can I have a single deb package which contains all the codecs? so that if there is no internet I can do the installation off-line | 06:59 |
| sebsebseb | imani: which is currently run on Windows? | 06:59 |
| snoopy | any of you know python? | 06:59 |
| imani | yes | 06:59 |
| snoopy | was it easy to learn? | 06:59 |
| sebsebseb | vdp_ubuntu: don't think so, bazhang any ideas? | 06:59 |
| vdp_ubuntu | snoopy: yes and it is installed in ubuntu by default | 06:59 |
| snoopy | i mean like the scripting and what not | 07:00 |
| imani | I run also in mozilla but it doesnt look nice as in internet explorer | 07:00 |
| bazhang | snoopy, did you have an actual Ubuntu support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:00 |
| J11 | ubuntutrepxe: Well, that would be a risk for your documents. It's a bit conveniance vs security. | 07:00 |
| snoopy | well it is kind of a ubuntu related question, aint it? | 07:00 |
| sebsebseb | imani: that means it's not following web standards I expect | 07:00 |
| bazhang | snoopy, no. | 07:00 |
| indus | snoopy: its very easy to learn | 07:00 |
| indus | snoopy: #python | 07:00 |
| dsnyders | Last chance for the evening. Is there a linux tool for reading windows event logs? | 07:00 |
| imani | ok | 07:00 |
| sebsebseb | imani: if a webpage does not look good in Firefox, there is a problem really. As for IE on Linux well. there's ie4linux which runs in Wine, but Internet Explorer won't quite work as well as on Windows | 07:01 |
| snoopy | im trying to learn it but cant find anywhere good | 07:01 |
| imani | Is it possible to install IE | 07:01 |
| snoopy | or you know any good site | 07:01 |
| vdp_ubuntu | snoopy: www.python.org | 07:01 |
| sebsebseb | imani: if you need proper IE support activex and all that stuff, which can be bad for security, well Windows in a virtual machine | 07:01 |
| lstarnes | dsnyders: I think there's a distribution like systemrescuecd that has one | 07:01 |
| bazhang | snoopy, /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chat | 07:01 |

| dsnyders | lstarnes, Thanks for the pointer. I'll check it out and see if I can download/install the tool. | 07:03 |
| lstarnes | dsnyders: it's likely available for ubuntu | 07:03 |
| lstarnes | dsnyders: then again, I might be imagining things and that log viewer might not even exist | 07:03 |
| sebsebseb | imani: you want to use the app on your own computer or? | 07:04 |
| imani | Of course | 07:04 |
| sebsebseb | imani: Which currently is Ubuntu only or? Do you have another with Windows? | 07:04 |
| dsnyders | lstarnes, imaginary or not, it's the best tip I've gotten. If I figure it out in the next few minutes, I'll report back. | 07:04 |
| imani | yes | 07:04 |
| sebsebseb | imani: yes to what? | 07:04 |
| imani | I have installed ubuntu only | 07:05 |
| phoenixzorn | is there yet a Google Voice and Video Chat solution for Ubuntu? | 07:05 |
| sebsebseb | imani: ok, but do you have a computer with Windows as well or not? | 07:05 |
| nameo0 | hi | 07:05 |
| imani | off course i have, but i prefer Ubuntu to Windows OS | 07:06 |
| nameo0 | i was wondering if you can change partition size on a computer with ubuntu and windows vista installed? | 07:06 |
| sebsebseb | imani: ok well maybe a virtual machine of Windows inside Ubuntu. ,but first try ie4linux a Google should bring that up | 07:06 |
| ubuntutrepxe | nameo0: yes you can | 07:06 |
| phoenixzorn | nameo0, yes | 07:06 |
| nameo0 | can someone please tell me how? | 07:06 |
| phoenixzorn | you have both installed now? | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: you ask a question | 07:07 |
| nameo0 | yes | 07:07 |
| ubuntutrepxe | nameo0: put the ubuntu live cd and use gparted | 07:07 |
| imani | let me try to install ie4linus | 07:07 |
| aman | can anyone tell me the command to reverse command line argurements??? | 07:07 |
| lstarnes | aman: do you know if that command even exists? | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: ok you did nevermind | 07:07 |
| lstarnes | dsnyders: actually, from what I've just checked, it doesn't appear to exist | 07:07 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: you should only let Vista re size itself, or data loss might happen, the Ubuntu partition can be re sized with gparted on the Live CD | 07:08 |
| phoenixzorn | nameo0, boot into windows first, defrag the C drive, and make sure you do a disk cleanup... then go back to Linux and run gparted to change drive sizes... | 07:08 |
| aman | lstarnes, actually i want to reverse them using script....:0 | 07:08 |
| lstarnes | aman: I don't know if there is a command for that in bash scripting | 07:08 |
| aman | lstarnes, i know i print CLI arguements using '$*' but i want to reverse them | 07:08 |
| nameo0 | k thy | 07:08 |
| lstarnes | aman: someone in #bash might know | 07:08 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, what do you mean by letting vista resize itself? | 07:09 |
| dainsane1 | anyone know how to force dmraid to run in boot? my /home is on the raid and boot fails every time and i have to manually run dmraid -ay | 07:09 |
| akoimeexx | cynicist: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks#HP%20Mini%201010nr | 07:09 |
| aman | lstarnes, no one responding there...:( | 07:09 |
| imani | Can you help me with a command to install ie4linux | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: it has a built in tool, so it can re size itself | 07:09 |
| dsnyders | lstarnes, I'm not finding anything either. | 07:09 |
| phoenixzorn | nameo0, how big is your hard drive? | 07:09 |
| nameo0 | and how will i know how much i can partition? | 07:09 |
| nameo0 | 320 | 07:09 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, ah yes... | 07:09 |
| lstarnes | aman: just be patient | 07:09 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: which they should use to re size it | 07:10 |
| aman | lstarnes, hmmm | 07:10 |
| imani | I have tried to type in to the cmd terminal to no avail | 07:10 |
| phoenixzorn | nameo0, what BIG programs you have installed on Windows? Photoshop, Office, CorelDraw? | 07:10 |
| cynicist | akoimeexx, ah thanks, had no idea that wiki existed | 07:10 |
| nameo0 | opopen office and photoshop | 07:10 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, I have windows 7, and I've never seen that tool... | 07:10 |
| sebsebseb | phowardcom: not sure about Vista version 2, but Vista has it, right click on computer and go to disk management, I think it was | 07:10 |
| akoimeexx | No problem; found it a while ago when I first started playing around with Netbook Remix. Glad to be able to put that info up for others as well -- It might even fix the issue 1033cl users have. | 07:11 |
| akoimeexx | At least, it'd be worth their testing. | 07:11 |
| phoenixzorn | nameo0, windows vista needs about 30GB of space but I usually pad my Windows drive to about 2.5-3x the size I'm using when I install Linux. | 07:11 |
| akoimeexx | (Doublechecked, multiple reboots and the wifi still works.) | 07:11 |
| nameo0 | k thy | 07:11 |
| phoenixzorn | so if I have used 40GB on Windows already when installing linux, I give Windows about 80-120GB total, and the rest to Linux. | 07:12 |
| nameo0 | so defrag -> live cd -> gparted? | 07:12 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: let Vista resize itself | 07:12 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: or you might get data loss | 07:12 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: also you don't really need to run a defrag, just let Vista re size it self :) disk defrag can be good once a month if using Windows a lot though | 07:13 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, calling Windows 7 "Vista version 2", is like calling Ubuntu "Debian version 2"... for one, it's completely inaccurate to say, and second it would just get you laughed at by anyone who knows how to use windows. | 07:13 |
| sebsebseb | nameo0: your on Vista now? | 07:14 |
| nameo0 | now ubuntu | 07:14 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: well it's known as NT 6.1 with VIsta known as 6.0 which confirms it :) also it's a little joke the Vista version 2 thing | 07:14 |
| nameo0 | but swithcing now | 07:14 |
| nameo0 | brb | 07:14 |
| cynicist | phoenixzorn, people say that because windows 7 is very similar to vista | 07:14 |
| seeme__ | some feedback, maybe pop #ubuntu-offtopic into the channel Topic | 07:15 |
| sebsebseb | cynicist: exactly | 07:15 |
| cynicist | phoenixzorn, probably due to the fact that the most notable changes are ui or window manager changes, makes it feel like a service pack rather than a new OS | 07:15 |
| phoenixzorn | except it's not really... the only similarity is the look... the function, the flow, the feel, everything is improved... vista SUCKS... Windows 7 is actually a good OS. | 07:15 |
| seeme__ | there are a few channels that appear with the /list command that users do not know its there | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: I expect they are both rather similar under the hood | 07:16 |
| seeme__ | just a thought | 07:16 |
| phoenixzorn | not so much... | 07:16 |
| rich7 | Enter text here...does anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| sebsebseb | rich7: of course, but why do you want to? | 07:16 |
| cynicist | phoenixzorn, no they are very similar under the hood. Vista was terrible mostly because of buggy drivers and a few bugs that windows fixed for 7 | 07:17 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, under the hood, they still both use the NT kernel, but the Vista OS was supremely subpar to XP Pro, and Windows 7 is a VAST improvement over both. | 07:17 |
| rich7 | still usedto windows ans can't run ubuntu | 07:17 |
| rich7 | i ddon't know wat i 'm doing | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: I don't really care that much to be honest :) Microsoft lock people in, and hold computing back, but this is all off topic now | 07:18 |
| phoenixzorn | rich7, put in your Windows XP Pro or Windows 7 Enterprise CD, and install... Ubuntu will be gone. | 07:18 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: oh I see | 07:19 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, true... I didn't come here to debate which Windows version is the best... | 07:19 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: same here | 07:19 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: ok what do you want to do on Ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| phoenixzorn | I came here to ask if there's a solution to Gmail not providing voice and video for linux... | 07:19 |
| phoenixzorn | because if they haven't, I can't install Ubuntu on my netbook... | 07:19 |
| ghufran | hi .. i would like to remote desktop into a windows xp machine from ubuntu ... how can i do that? i tried the remote desktop viewer and that doesnt appear to work .. | 07:19 |
| rich4 | Enter text here...that's just it I dn't know how to run any of the programs and it nothing like windows | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | phowardcom: hmm Google Talk in a Windows virtual machine? Windows can be useful to have inside Ubuntu in a virtual machine, sometimes | 07:20 |
| senesence | ubotu | 07:21 |
| phoenixzorn | ghufran, need to enable remote desktop viewing on the XP machine through services, then both computers either have to be on the same network, OR if on different private networks, the ports must be forwarded correctly to the XP box, or DMZ mode must be enabled for the XP machine to connect. | 07:21 |
| rich4 | how can windows be useful in ubuntu | 07:21 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: ok the basics are quite easy really, there are guides and people here and that that will help with that | 07:21 |
| senesence | ubottu | 07:21 |
| phoenixzorn | sebsebseb, stop spelling my name wrong. =P | 07:21 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: no it's a messed up auto complete | 07:21 |
| phoenixzorn | I know. lol | 07:21 |
| ghufran | phoenixzorn: i can connect to that machine with another xp machine .. just not with ubuntu .. | 07:21 |
| phoenixzorn | try phoe <tab> and it won't mess up... | 07:22 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: so you can run many Windows programs, that you can't get working in Wine, and that you can't find alternatives to that you like enough | 07:22 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: there are good programs for nearly every computer task you can think of though, when it comes to Ubuntu | 07:22 |
| phoenixzorn | ghufran, that's kinda silly... are they on the same network? | 07:22 |
| rich4 | i guess its not the same though | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: What do you want to ecomplish on a computer? What do you want to do? Let's find out if Ubuntu can fit your needs. | 07:23 |
| ghufran | yes .. both laptops are on the same network | 07:23 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: there are a few differences here and there, but nothing major, when it comes to the basics | 07:23 |
| rich4 | ok | 07:23 |
| rich4 | ? | 07:23 |
| rich4 | like terminal | 07:24 |
| zackattack | i did "apt-get install git" but i don't see git in my path. what do i do? | 07:24 |
| rich4 | nothing like dos | 07:24 |
| zackattack | i'm on hardy | 07:24 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: well yes, but you don't need to use that for the basics | 07:24 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, what do you do in windows on a daily basis? | 07:24 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: however for installing programs it's great using the terminal, much quicker than the graphical ways | 07:24 |
| rich4 | i can't think right off the bat | 07:25 |
| zackattack | anyone? | 07:25 |
| andrew_46 | zackattack: The package is git-core | 07:25 |
| zackattack | ah, thanks | 07:25 |
| rich4 | i knew where everything was | 07:25 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, things like e-mail, web browsing, image editing??? | 07:25 |
| rich4 | i can do that stuff | 07:25 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, the most important thing, do you use Windows for work? | 07:25 |
| rich4 | oh wait | 07:25 |
| rich4 | in stalling programs | 07:26 |
| quitenormal | hi. hey I received something on facebook telling me to visit GALEWHER .COM . Apparently it's a virus, DO NOT VISIT THAT SITE. Does anyone know how it works, and, am I infected? | 07:26 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: KDE 4 is more Windows looking, but I am not sure about recommending that much to new users. | 07:26 |
| phoenixzorn | lol... Gnome is so much prettier and sleek. | 07:26 |
| sebsebseb | quitenormal: probably some trick for Windows users | 07:26 |
| sebsebseb | phoenixzorn: yeah indeed, Gnome is rather easy to use | 07:26 |
| phoenixzorn | but I agree, KDE is much more windows like... | 07:26 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, perhaps try installing Kubuntu? but the big question still has to be answered... do you use your Windows computer for work? | 07:27 |
| skitzo | i hate this bloody windows partition showing up on ubuntu.. gggrrr ;| | 07:27 |
| quitenormal | sebsebseb probably but I can't find any info on google about it, save for: IT's A VIRUS! So how can I be sure? | 07:27 |
| phoenixzorn | skitzo, it's supposed to do that. | 07:27 |
| rich4 | no play | 07:27 |
| sebsebseb | !virus | quitenormal | 07:27 |
| phoenixzorn | gaming? | 07:27 |
| ubottu | quitenormal: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 07:27 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: you can dual boot :) | 07:28 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, games? | 07:28 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: Windows and Ubuntu | 07:28 |
| rich4 | oh my girl friend doesn't lie it either | 07:28 |
| quitenormal | sebsebseb yeah I know linux is different to windows | 07:28 |
| phoenixzorn | sigh... how old are you and your girlfriend? | 07:28 |
| rich4 | oh my girl friend doesn't like it either | 07:28 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: Who put Ubuntu on there and why? | 07:28 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4 ^^^^ | 07:28 |
| skitzo | i know but i got rid of it before with the help of somebody in here then i went and installed ubuntu again the x64 version and i cant remember the persons name that helped me get rid of it :( | 07:28 |
| phoenixzorn | skitzo, why would you not want to be able to see it? | 07:29 |
| rich4 | bought it this way | 07:29 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: oh | 07:29 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, bought the laptop with Ubuntu? what brand? | 07:29 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: ok I understand | 07:29 |
| rich4 | desktop | 07:29 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: so you didn't know you would get another OS with it instead of Windows? | 07:29 |
| skitzo | why would i? its the windows filesystem for windows if im in windows i just want the linux filesystem and my two media partitions | 07:29 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, Dell? | 07:29 |
| rich4 | i knew it on here but i have xp | 07:30 |
| skitzo | plus when i mount the media drives u get access to the windows one | 07:30 |
| rich4 | built comp | 07:30 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: I have helped two not so technical people quite a bit with Ubuntu, both of them get on with it quite well, the first loves how she does not have to do loads of virus scan and that rubbish | 07:30 |
| phoenixzorn | skitzo, because ubuntu can handle NTFS now, so there's no reason to hide it... if you need a document from windows, or something like that, you can just grab it... and not reboot to find something. | 07:30 |
| rich4 | ok | 07:30 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: you have an XP CD? | 07:31 |
| rich4 | ya | 07:31 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: you can set up a dual boot :) | 07:31 |
| rich4 | how | 07:31 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: Ubuntu is a good OS, for a lot of stuff, there is just a bit of a learning curve first as a new user of course | 07:31 |
| rich4 | grub | 07:31 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, I had a friend with Vista... she was tired of malware, spyware, and "virus scanners" that were viruses themselves popping up in Windows... I installed Ubuntu, and haven't heard a complaint in 2 months... lol | 07:31 |
| rich4 | cool | 07:32 |
| skitzo | yeah but all that stuffs in the two media partitions.. all thats in the windows filesystem is windows os/programs | 07:32 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: you can do nearly anything you can do in WIndows in Ubuntu | 07:32 |
| ksadler97 | Just joined, rich4 you can also use Virtual Box to run Windows XP | 07:32 |
| evan__ | See, now, I respect people's opinions as far as OS's go, but at a certain point, viruses and spyware and malware moves from the fault of the OS to the fault of the user.. | 07:32 |
| andrew_46 | rich4: Consider virtual machine as well: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=136012&d=1258101150 | 07:32 |
| phoenixzorn | rich4, give it a little time, Ubuntu is my favorite OS, and the only reason I don't have it on all my computers is that I need windows for work, and don't want to dual boot or run a virtual machine. | 07:32 |
| sebsebseb | ksadler97: well he wants to run games, which games I don't know | 07:32 |
| evan__ | I had Vista for almost a year before upgrading to 7 and never had a problem. | 07:32 |
| bazhang | !ot | 07:33 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:33 |
| rich4 | i have done that virture | 07:33 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: hmm that's a point | 07:33 |
| skitzo | so i got windows and linux seperate sharing the two mass storage partitions | 07:33 |
| sebsebseb | rich4: ok we are trying to find out if Ubuntu is for you, but really it's off topic, come join #ubuntu-offtopic and we can continue | 07:33 |
| phoenixzorn | evan__, I had fixed it on more than one occasion, and it got to the point where I couldn't fix it again, so it was either a fresh install of Vista (never), Windows 7 (could have been) or Ubuntu... | 07:33 |
| phoenixzorn | she picked Linux. | 07:33 |
| ksadler97 | I run Ultimate Ubuntu and Virtual Windows XP, Windows 7, and Vista until people open up to Linux more | 07:34 |
| bazhang | lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:34 |

| ksadler97 | when ubuntu starts, one option is the add lines to the boot process | 07:41 |
| ksadler97 | should be on the first splash screen | 07:42 |

| smiter | first splash screen Or like in the case of a dual boot.. one of the options alone with the first option list after choosing ubuntu? | 07:43 |
| ksadler97 | i believe so | 07:43 |
| smiter | what do I type in there? | 07:43 |
| ksadler97 | usually something like vga=796, i think, check the wiki. I think that is vga with 1024x768 | 07:44 |

| Polysics | can i just slap KDE on an Ubuntu install | 07:45 |
| ksadler97 | Polysics, yes, since KDE is just a desktop manager. Try going to Synaptic and just adding it. | 07:46 |
| Polysics | ksadler97, will it pop up in GDM as a choice? | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Polysics, kubuntu-desktop package | 07:46 |
| Polysics | is it eventually removable without problems? | 07:46 |

| nephlim | noob_, do you have compiz installed? | 08:27 |
| c_nick | nephlim: | 08:28 |
| nephlim | hello c_nick | 08:28 |
| c_nick | go to the package manager.. there i think u can find what u r looking for | 08:29 |
| c_nick | how to find out the glib version | 08:29 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: aptitude show libglib | 08:29 |
| Polysics | helo | 08:29 |
| bullgard | Why did the developers of the DEB package »ubuntu-desktop« include the dependency »Depends: wpasupplicant« in the DEB package »ubuntu-desktop«? | 08:29 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: actually, it should be aptitude show libglib2.0-0 | 08:29 |
| Polysics | is it me, or does KDE actually feel faster? | 08:30 |
| c_nick | hm ok | 08:30 |
| lstarnes | bullgard: because it uses wpasupplicant for WPA authentication for wireless networks | 08:30 |
| noob_ | YES | 08:30 |
| noob_ | nephlin : yes am have it | 08:30 |
| noob_ | nephlin : am have compiz installed | 08:31 |
| abcxlc | No | 08:31 |
| abcxlc | YES | 08:31 |
| nephlim | noob_, good. do you also have compizconfig settings manager? | 08:31 |
| bullgard | lstarnes: But as a rule I do not use WLAN. So It consumes my ressources unneccessarily. | 08:31 |
| nephlim | noob_, under SYSTEM>PREFERENCES | 08:32 |
| c_nick | lstarnes: i want to install libglib2.8 | 08:32 |
| noob_ | nephlin : am will try | 08:32 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: you need to check the version returned by aptitude | 08:32 |
| abcxlc | Like an Eagle, Fly touch the Sun!!! :) | 08:32 |
| c_nick | 2.16 sorry. | 08:32 |
| noob_ | nephlin : what must i do nephlin | 08:32 |
| bazhang | abcxlc, please stay on topic | 08:32 |
| c_nick | i opened the synaptic package manager and saw there it said libglib2.0 | 08:32 |
| abcxlc | Yes mr ballhang | 08:32 |
| abcxlc | i will | 08:33 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: for the actual installed version, use this: aptitude show libglib2.0-0 | grep -i ^version: | 08:33 |
| lstarnes | bullgard: many users would need it | 08:33 |
| nephlim | noob_, click system, then look under preferences | 08:33 |
| c_nick | what does grep mean | 08:33 |
| Duskao | hey guys, is there a way I can change my settings so I will always start the computer with the performance setting for my processors? | 08:33 |
| bullgard | lstarnes: Thank you for your information. | 08:33 |

| mr_e_panda | sorry | 08:35 |
| c_nick | lstarnes: Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.21.3' but version of GLib is 2.16.6 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GLIB_CFLAGS and GLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details. | 08:35 |

| lstarnes | mr_e_panda: is there any other version of ubuntu known to work on ps3? | 08:38 |
| nephlim | noob_, ok. one moment | 08:38 |
| soreau | noob_: 1) Start a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) 2) Type 'compiz &' without tick marks 3) Press enter 4) Go to pastebin.com in your browser and copy the output from your terminal 5) Click submit, then show us the link it gives back here | 08:38 |

| mr_e_panda | lstarnes: but i was having even more problems with it | 08:39 |
| noob_ | oke | 08:39 |
| soreau | nephlim: Xgl is not required to run compiz, except for a few specific setups. The message "checking for Xgl: not present" is simply an informational message, not an error. | 08:39 |
| * nephlim learned something | 08:39 | |

| lstarnes | c_nick: don't | 08:41 |
| crc32 | so "service iptables stop" Doesn't do it. "/etc/init.d/iptables stop" doesn't either. How do we stop iptables or restart it or what ever? | 08:41 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: you need to use a newer version of ubuntu, or compile glib2.21.3 from source | 08:41 |
| lstarnes | c_nick: using a newer version of ubuntu is a safer option | 08:41 |
| Polysics | why do my startup apps not get saved? | 08:41 |
| lstarnes | crc32: iptables can't be stopped or reset. It is a kernel feature, not a service | 08:42 |
| Polysics | i add them, but they do not get started nor are in the list when i log back in | 08:42 |
| Polysics | you can flush iptables, but you need to save rules first | 08:42 |
| lstarnes | crc32: there are methods to change the rules in iptables or clear them though, but I forget how | 08:42 |
| Inzuka | What's the command to install Pulse Audio? | 08:42 |
| Polysics | iptables -F removes all rules | 08:42 |

| mneptok | mr_e_panda: Ubuntu uses sudo | 09:04 |
| llutz | Guest27909: sudo fdisk -l your-image.foo | 09:04 |
| mr_e_panda | mneptok: yes i understand that. but when i use sudo it does not allow me to use sudo | 09:04 |
| mneptok | mr_e_panda: note carefully the user you create during the install process | 09:05 |
| skitzo | hi guys i've downloaded an application for linux (java based) i have it working i just want to know how and where to place the folder in the file system as i cant get access | 09:05 |
| mr_e_panda | mneptok: right | 09:05 |
| crc32 | mr_e_panda: wait what? No root user in ubunto? | 09:06 |

| mr_e_panda | mneptok: without that information i would not even be able to log in to my desktop | 09:06 |
| mr_e_panda | everything works fine on my laptop | 09:06 |
| mr_e_panda | lol | 09:06 |
| kameron | is there a log file somewhere with a list of connections made over ssh? | 09:06 |
| Kottizen | No. | 09:06 |
| lstarnes | kameron: look in /var/log/auth.log | 09:07 |
| Kottizen | oh | 09:07 |
| Kottizen | Sorry, wrongread. | 09:07 |
| mr_e_panda | mneptok: finishing up the installation right now | 09:08 |
| skitzo | anybody? | 09:08 |
| Boon | many body here | 09:09 |
| Boon | :D | 09:09 |
| wildlappy | morning all | 09:09 |
| skitzo | lol and i thought my question was basic as this time round | 09:10 |
| kameron | lstarnes, it's all recent, only goes back to the 20th. looking for something from a couple weeks ago. | 09:10 |
| Younder | skitzo, well open a console and sudo chown you app | 09:10 |
| lstarnes | kameron: check each of the copies from /var/log/auth.log.* | 09:10 |
| lstarnes | kameron: some are compressed with gzip, but can be read with zcat instead of cat | 09:10 |
| Younder | skitzo, enter your login password on promt (if you have administative rights, or if not the password of a user that does) | 09:11 |
| skitzo | my applications in a folder | 09:12 |
| kameron | lstarnes, awesome! found what i was looking for. thanks buddy! | 09:12 |
| Younder | skitzo, if that is not a option anything under ~/ (that is /home/'you') is yours. | 09:12 |
| skitzo | i just want to put the folder in the right place in the filesystem | 09:12 |
| Younder | skitzo, well java programs are pretty much self contained. | 09:13 |
| cast | Younder: it only might be /home/'you' ;P | 09:13 |
| === abcxlc is now known as Raganroek | ||
| Younder | skitzo, how about /usr/local/bin | 09:14 |
| === Raganroek is now known as RagnaRoek | ||
| skitzo | yeah i know it is i have the working program in a folder on my desktop i just wanna put it in a correct place in filesystem like windows but i cant get access in linux i have to use all this code :) | 09:14 |
| randall | whats wrong with a little code? | 09:15 |
| cast | skitzo: whats in the folder? | 09:15 |
| mr_e_panda | mneptok: i just got my sudo to work | 09:15 |
| Raydiation | i was wondering if there was an easy way to get my s-video out working on my laptop | 09:15 |
| skitzo | a java program.. its working fine all i want is it in the filesystem off the deskto :) | 09:15 |
| mr_e_panda | sweet i guess all it needed really was just a reinstall | 09:15 |
| Raydiation | i got an nvidia card, i tried nvtv but it doesnt recognize my card | 09:15 |
| mr_e_panda | hahaha | 09:16 |
| cast | skitzo: that doesn't really answer the question | 09:16 |
| mr_e_panda | thank u all who helped me | 09:16 |
| mr_e_panda | u guys are awesome | 09:16 |
| mneptok | mr_e_panda: yes, yes i am. | 09:16 |
| skitzo | its called jdownloader | 09:16 |
| * mneptok is also great on a cracker, or served warm with a side of pure, raw fury. | 09:17 | |
| skitzo | theres an exe file jar file etc etc | 09:17 |
| === RagnaRoek is now known as ASDGF | ||
| mr_e_panda | and you guys are so humble u really should take more credit for what you do here for everyone | 09:17 |
| mneptok | skitzo: is this some kind of download manager? | 09:17 |
| mr_e_panda | LMAO | 09:17 |
| mr_e_panda | but seriously thank you | 09:17 |
| mneptok | mr_e_panda: np. | 09:18 |
| randall | mmm raw fury.. | 09:18 |
| mr_e_panda | ubuntu is not good for plasma tvs | 09:18 |
| kameron | lstarnes, i'm out of town trying to connect to my computer at home. i have openssh running on the box, i have the ip and it responds to a ping, but connection refused when i try to connect. | 09:18 |
| skitzo | it is.. its made specifically for like rapidshare, hotfile etc.. | 09:19 |
| mr_e_panda | the colors are so hot they burn in quickly. gotta run the screen protection every few minutes to counter act the burn in | 09:19 |
| mneptok | kameron: got a router? | 09:19 |
| cast | kameron: ports closed, you're stuffed | 09:19 |
| kameron | no router mneptok | 09:19 |
| mneptok | skitzo: i'd use gwget +Flashgot, personally | 09:19 |
| Younder | mr_e_panda, you can change that.. use a darker theme | 09:19 |
| mneptok | kameron: does the ISP block common low ports? | 09:19 |
| lstarnes | kameron: make sure that port 22 is properly forwarded | 09:20 |
| PoppingFlamingo | I'm practically dancing in excitement. :D I finally got my sound to work on Karmic. | 09:20 |
| mr_e_panda | will do | 09:20 |
| skitzo | so how do i place the folder and all of its contents in /usr/bin/ from terminal? | 09:20 |
| mr_e_panda | Younder: will do | 09:20 |
| kameron | mneptok, i don't think so. | 09:20 |
| mneptok | PoppingFlamingo: easier to dance when there's music, eh? | 09:20 |
| mneptok | kameron: what ISP? | 09:20 |
| indus | skitzo: cp -a foldername /usr/bin | 09:20 |
| kameron | shawcable in canada, mneptok | 09:20 |
| llutz | skitzo: you shouldn't. place it in /opt, make a short starter in /usr/local/bin | 09:20 |
| randall | PoppingFlamingo: what sound device are you useing? | 09:21 |
| cast | indus: argh, horrible advice | 09:21 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Uhm, it's an Intel one, I don't know the exact one. | 09:21 |
| indus | cast: why | 09:21 |
| PoppingFlamingo | And I agree, Mneptok. :P | 09:21 |
| randall | PoppingFlamingo: intergrated? | 09:21 |
| llutz | indus: why should one copy a folder into /usr/local/bin? | 09:21 |
| PratikAnand | hi...I installed open office 3.1.1 on 9.04...every time I open it , it recursively enters into doc recovery mode...what shud I do? | 09:21 |
| PoppingFlamingo | It's a laptop, if that's what you're asking, Randall. | 09:21 |
| cast | indus: programs under the control of package management should be the only thing going into /usr/bin, | 09:22 |
| indus | llutz: ya thats true indeed , but i thought he is just looking for syntax | 09:22 |
| indus | but his system isnt going to explode on doing that either | 09:22 |
| randall | PoppingFlamingo: im collecting info on intergrated sound cards, and thier problems with Ubuntu 9.04 and above, thats all | 09:22 |
| mneptok | kameron: try using ssh with -vvvv | 09:22 |
| indus | cast: programs other than package management also go int o /usr/bin btw, 3rd party programs for ex | 09:23 |
| kameron | very very very very verbose? mneptok | 09:23 |
| indus | but i dont want to argue wity tou | 09:23 |
| mneptok | kameron: quite so | 09:23 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Randall: I'm not very savvy with hardware. Windows and its features was more my specialty. Now I installed Linux and had no idea what I was in for. I could show you the article I used to fix my sound if you want. | 09:23 |
| skitzo | i wish i could just browse through the file system normally it would save me asking questions here so often :) | 09:24 |
| indus | skitzo: what exactly are you trying to do | 09:24 |
| randall | PoppingFlamingo: thats would be nice, thanks. I notice that Ubuntu has issues with intergrated sound devices realtek in perticular | 09:24 |
| mneptok | randall: "integrated" ;) | 09:24 |
| randall | I can spell, okay not really :D | 09:24 |
| indus | randall: not true, realtek works fine with ubuntu, or you could download drivers from their site, all of their stuff is open source | 09:25 |
| skitzo | indus, i just want to put this program folder somewhere in the filesystem off the desktop :) | 09:25 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Randall: I'm not exactly sure what all those commands do, but http://pramonotunggul.com/2009/11/19/solving-no-sound-problem-in-ubuntu-karmic/ sure fixed it. :) | 09:25 |
| indus | skitzo: ok but why in the filesystem | 09:25 |
| indus | skitzo: you want to install it or just move the folder into / | 09:25 |
| skitzo | but i cant just go through the file system normally i have to use this terminal to get through | 09:25 |
| skitzo | move it | 09:25 |
| mneptok | skitzo: then you'll have to create menu entries. | 09:25 |
| indus | skitzo: then just move it into /opt | 09:25 |
| mneptok | skitzo: and update everything manually | 09:26 |
| kameron | mneptok, it says ssh version, nothing really important, and connection refused | 09:26 |
| Guest27909 | lluts: i entered that sudo fdisk thing and got a list of the partitions in the backup. what do i do now? | 09:26 |
| randall | indus: personal experience i guess | 09:26 |
| indus | skitzo: that folder is empty generally | 09:26 |
| mneptok | skitzo: Ubuntu has download managers you can install from packages. why not use them? | 09:26 |
| indus | randall: what kind of problem? did u file a bug? | 09:26 |
| cast | indus: they should go in /usr/local/bin, possibly /opt | 09:26 |
| mneptok | kameron: does it even try to connect? | 09:26 |
| randall | PoppingFlamingo: thanks for the link. | 09:26 |
| skitzo | it updates its self and i know how to add it to menu | 09:26 |
| indus | skitzo: so sudo cp -a foldername /opt | 09:26 |
| kameron | mneptok, yes | 09:26 |
| sobersabre | hi. what software shall I use to be able to record a video with my webcam ? | 09:26 |
| mneptok | kameron: and is your modem at home in bridged or routed mode? | 09:26 |
| indus | sobersabre: xawtv works | 09:27 |
| kameron | mneptok, whatever the problem is it looks like something i can't really deal with unless i have physical access to it. | 09:27 |
| sobersabre | indus: thanks. | 09:27 |
| randall | well i downloaded the driver, did not work, then rushed off to work forgetting to file a report | 09:27 |
| kameron | mneptok, i'm not sure the difference. i don't think it has an option. | 09:27 |
| indus | sobersabre: and some others too i think, camorama camstream etc | 09:27 |
| skitzo | i have a few accounts for rapidshare/hotfile etc and this program is the best for it | 09:27 |
| indus | !camorama | 09:27 |
| smiter | can someone guide me thru how to load the drivers for my vid card? | 09:27 |
| indus | !webcam | 09:27 |
| ubottu | Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 09:27 |
| randall | shoukd get back to that soon though | 09:27 |
| indus | !info camorama | 09:27 |
| ubottu | camorama (source: camorama): gnome utility to view and save images from a webcam. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19-2 (karmic), package size 203 kB, installed size 1488 kB | 09:27 |
| mneptok | kameron: if the modem is in routed mode, you will need to forward ports through it. contact Shaw about that. | 09:28 |
| kameron | smiter, system > administration > hardware drivers. did you try that? | 09:28 |
| skitzo | command not found | 09:28 |
| kameron | mneptok, alright. it's not too important anyways. thanks. | 09:28 |
| sobersabre | indus: do they all allow audio+video recording ? | 09:28 |
| smiter | kameron, it doesnt offer anything up | 09:29 |
| kameron | smiter, what video card do you have? | 09:30 |
| smiter | radeon 9200 (rv 280) | 09:30 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Is there a way to speed up downloaders such as BitTorrent on Ubuntu? I know how to do that on Windows, but not so much here. | 09:30 |
| Raydiation | can someone help me get my svideo tv out working? | 09:30 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, what client do you use? | 09:30 |
| Raydiation | heres some info about the laptop http://paste.pocoo.org/show/158772/ | 09:31 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: Well what I want to speed up is the World of Warcraft downloader, which is essentially a BitTorrent downloader. | 09:31 |
| hckjsnzf | hi | 09:31 |
| shellfis1 | hi, please 1 question, i got a big binary file, like 5 G, and i read that split can split files, so i wonder if it'll be ok to split it. I wonder if binary files can be split and gathered again with cat, or i'll have any problem | 09:31 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, how would you speed that up in windows? | 09:31 |
| llutz | shellfis1: split will work fine | 09:31 |
| shellfis1 | ok llutz and then to join them again with cat ? | 09:32 |
| kameron | shellfis1, give it a try. you can split it with the "dd" command. | 09:32 |
| llutz | shellfis1: yes | 09:32 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: By opening the ports that it uses, such as 6112, 3724, and 6881-6999. | 09:32 |
| shellfis1 | ok , kameron is plit will do it it's alright anyway but thanks for the dd suggestion hehe:) | 09:33 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: Through the Windows Firewall, that is. (The Windows Firewall does this all by itself normally anyway.) | 09:33 |
| geirha | PoppingFlamingo: Have you tried just turning off bittorrent? | 09:33 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, do you have a firewall in use on linux? like iptables? | 09:34 |
| subito | since i've upgraded to kubuntu 9.10, my boot bar is all messed up on the startup (i'm talking about the one looking like this: http://www.net-actuality.org/images/news/31-07-07_9034.png) is it a known bug of ubuntu 9.10? | 09:34 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Geirha: What do you mean? | 09:34 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: I installed Firestarter via a guide, but it seems like it only works when I open it manually. Would iptables be a better option? | 09:34 |
| geirha | PoppingFlamingo: In the blizzard downloader, just turn off bittorrent, and just download from http instead. Should get you fairly good speed. | 09:34 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: i did that sudo fdisk thing on my backup file and it gave me a list of the partitions in the backup file. how do i write them to the disk? | 09:35 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, it's a manual option. if you're not using any firewall then the ports won't be blocked and you shouldn't need to open them. | 09:35 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Geirha: I don't think that it gives me that option, since it's being run through WINE. I don't see the usual File, Edit, etc. | 09:35 |
| llutz | Guest27909: if you want to restore the whole disk, use cat or dd | 09:35 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: So by default, if it's using those ports, they will be opened anyway? | 09:35 |
| kickar | hey guys how can i add module to be loaded on boot? | 09:36 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, yes | 09:36 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kickar: There should be an option to edit the Startup Programs in System>Preferences | 09:36 |
| kameron | kickar, modprobe | 09:36 |
| geirha | PoppingFlamingo: Last I used it (for updating wow), it was very slow. Turning off bittorrent downloading sped it up to full speed for me. I don't remember what the options were called. | 09:36 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: Alright, that's good to know. Thank you :) | 09:36 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: so its just sudo dd <source> <dest> ? | 09:36 |
| hipitihop_ | how do I list what graphics hardware I have ? | 09:36 |
| geirha | hipitihop_: sudo lshw -class display | 09:37 |
| smiter | any recomendations on how to install the drivers for my Radeon 9200 ati vid card? | 09:37 |
| llutz | Guest27909: sudo dd if=yourimage.foo of=/dev/sdX | 09:37 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Geirha: Maybe it's only from the launcher, after its installed. I'm using the WoWInstaller.exe to install the entire program. | 09:37 |
| llutz | Guest27909: or sudo cat image.foo /dev/sdX | 09:37 |
| llutz | Guest27909: or sudo cat image.foo >/dev/sdX | 09:38 |
| llutz | sry | 09:38 |
| geirha | PoppingFlamingo: Could be. There was a menu option called Connection Info at the top if I remember correctly. | 09:38 |
| Hunt4 | does anyone use farsight2 here? | 09:38 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Geirha: Yeah, I know what options you're talking about, I've gone through them before on Windows. If only they were there for me right now. :( | 09:39 |
| hipitihop_ | geirha, thanks .. on one machine that gives me wha tI want but on another I get "ION VGA" "Nvidia" but not the model | 09:39 |
| geirha | hipitihop_: Did you run it with sudo? | 09:39 |
| hipitihop_ | yes | 09:40 |
| hipitihop_ | geirha, yes | 09:40 |
| kameron | smiter, did you get that figured out? | 09:40 |
| iceroot | am i blind or are there no XEN- | 09:40 |
| smiter | kameron no not yet | 09:41 |
| iceroot | am i blind or are there no XEN-Kernels for ubuntu in the repos | 09:41 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Now I just need to figure out what the deal is with FarmVille, and my new Linux setup is perfect. :P | 09:41 |
| mmarc__1 | Hi, guys, I have to say on my netbook ubuntu has got a quiet dissapointing effect I've seen before on some other distros: it hangs on boot between login gdm screen and gnome loading. I'm still wondering, what's the business to fo there for 3-5 minutes?? Sometimes I've got no time to wait for this evil thing to accomplish its strange needs. Is it malfunctioning? | 09:41 |
| kameron | PoppingFlamingo, got the latest flash update? | 09:41 |
| kickar | hey guys let me paraphrase how can i remove module from autoloading ? | 09:42 |
| geirha | hipitihop_: Maybe ''hwinfo --gfxcard'' will give you more info. hwinfo is not installed by default though. | 09:42 |
| llutz | kickar: blacklist it | 09:42 |
| kickar | llutz, how ? | 09:42 |
| zackattack | I just added a user. I made their home directory /var/www/staging.mysite.com/. I want them *only* to have read/write access to that dir, and nothing else. e.g. I don't think they should be able to read the other dirs in /var/www/, or people's home dirs, in case there's any sensitive data. What do you think? | 09:42 |
| iceroot | !blacklist | kickar | 09:42 |
| ubottu | kickar: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 09:42 |
| crashy | hi, anyone has an idea why starting glxgears on a prosavageddr leads to system freeze? | 09:42 |
| PoppingFlamingo | Kameron: The problem is that FarmVille changes the cursor when you move the cursor into it, but Ubuntu keeps the normal cursor and loads it on top of the game cursor. If I could figure out how to prevent that, then the insane lag might be bearable. xD | 09:42 |
| x_ | how do i go about changing my login screen in the newest ubuntu? | 09:42 |
| mmarc__1 | I installed yesterday, and after several reboots it begins this lagging | 09:42 |
| llutz | kickar: add it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 09:42 |
| zackattack | anyone? | 09:43 |
| kameron | smiter, did you check this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 09:43 |
| Shay27 | Hello , does it possible to find Hexadecimal value ( 0xfdd3) using the "grep" command ? | 09:43 |
| kameron | zackattack, okay.. yeah you can do that? what do i think.. a bit odd. what are you trying to get at? | 09:43 |
| zackattack | kameron: i don't want the user to be able to snoop on my system | 09:44 |
| kameron | Shay27, yes. "cat filename | grep hexvalue" | 09:44 |
| zackattack | i only want them to be able to write to that staging directory. | 09:44 |
| iceroot | zackattack: dont give him ssh-access, just ftp-access and make it chroot (proftpd-setting) only to the /var/www/url/ | 09:44 |
| kameron | zackattack, you can do that. are you asking how to do that? | 09:44 |

| zackattack | kameron: yes, i am asking how to do that | 09:45 |
| mmarc__1 | I was sitting for a long time on LXDE, because those gnome and xfce are infinite time to boot for no reason. Anybody having troubles with long waiting gnome to boot on ubuntu?? | 09:45 |

| geirha | kameron: grep takes filenames as arguments. No need to use cat and grep when grep can do both. | 09:48 |
| kameron | Guest27909, if you're doing a large file it will take some time. | 09:48 |
| llutz | Guest27909: you can force dd showing progress with sending -USR1 to it | 09:48 |
| Shay27 | kameron: i am trying to find all lines in a file that contain the unicode character 0xfdd3 ? | 09:48 |

| patpatpat | hi - i am trying to install ubuntu from an external hard drive but can't find anything in the forums on how to do this - can anyone help? | 09:48 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: ok, ill try that | 09:49 |
| Zolo | I dont now | 09:49 |
| randall | good night folks | 09:49 |
| Zolo | how can i | 09:49 |
| patpatpat | it should be possible i guess if you can do from a usb flash drive | 09:49 |
| kameron | Zolo, what virtual program are you using? | 09:50 |
| Zolo | ok ill see | 09:50 |
| geirha | Shay27: Do you know the unicode number? | 09:50 |
| iceroot | zackattack: in /etc/passwd use /bin/false to disable ssh-login, in proftp-conf at the hom-location use ~ and then search for chroot or jail in that conf and enable it. thats all | 09:50 |
| zackattack | um | 09:50 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: it says invalid option -- 'U' | 09:50 |
| iceroot | zackattack: and add the user to the group ftpusers | 09:50 |

| zackattack | where is proftp-conf? | 09:51 |
| zackattack | @iceroot | 09:51 |
| iceroot | zackattack: /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf (debian) but ubuntu should be the same | 09:51 |
| Zolo | but i make 30 gb for that backtrack | 09:51 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: still says invalid option -- 'U' | 09:51 |
| patpatpat | how can i 'burn' the ubuntu iso to my external hard drive? | 09:52 |

| patpatpat | its not a flash drive | 09:52 |
| iceroot | patpatpat: as i said, look at the first link | 09:52 |
| patpatpat | ok | 09:53 |
| kameron | Shay27, you have a file with the string "0xfdd3" in it? i just wrote a file with that string in it, and "cat filename | grep oxfdd3" showed that line. | 09:53 |
| llutz | Guest27909: since your dd runs as root, you have to killall as root too | 09:53 |
| zackattack | iceroot: thanks. how do i make sure proftpd is up and running? i added it to inetd | 09:53 |
| geirha | Shay27: Yes, I don't know how to map between hex values and unicode. U+FDD3 is not a valid unicode char at least | 09:53 |
| kameron | Zolo, i haven't used that program before but if you're out of disk space you can try expanding the size of the virtual drive in the options. | 09:54 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: i did. sudo killall -USR1 dd | 09:54 |
| iceroot | zackattack: connect to the server :) | 09:54 |
| geirha | Shay27: But for the hex values, grep $'\xfd\xd3' should work. | 09:54 |
| kameron | zackattack, ps - A | grep proftpd | 09:54 |
| patpatpat | yes i tried these instructions first - it is what i used when I had a usb stick around - but usb-creator will not work with my external harddrive | 09:54 |

| zackattack | yup. | 09:58 |

| imagodei | I have 9.04 Server, I manually configured DHCP on two interfaces. One is plugged to network, the other not. I get this message (reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smbd only) every 5 minutes or so. Is there any way to stop smbd from reloading every time dhcp tries to get IP? Or at least decrease the interval? There was a discussion about this issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1140094 but | 10:01 |
| imagodei | no solution... | 10:01 |
| kickar | kameron, qemu ? i guess not | 10:01 |
| kameron | kickar, okay that's fine. it manually loads that driver because it needs it. | 10:02 |
| kameron | kickar, did you run "sudo update-initramfs -u" after blacklisting the file? | 10:02 |
| fahadsadah | imagodei: Perhaps #ubuntu-server would be a better channel | 10:02 |

| zackattack | iceroot: thanks anyway | 10:03 |
| zhuotuo | I'll try | 10:03 |
| kameron | Zeppelin, what program is it? | 10:03 |
| fahadsadah | zhuotuo, imagodei: You're welcome | 10:03 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: i googled a bit and tried "sudo kill -USR1 3961" in a new prompt. it gives "xxxxxx bytes (2,5 GB) copied, xxxx s, 18,4 MB/s" | 10:03 |
| Zeppelin | it's a program called Runewin | 10:03 |
| kickar | kameron, yes /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 10:04 |
| kickar | kameron, thats what i thought too | 10:04 |
| kameron | kickar, hmm i don't know what to say. it should be blacklisted. | 10:04 |
| kameron | kickar, there could be another program that loads it. | 10:04 |
| kickar | kameron, ok maybe some kind of lacky bug or so | 10:04 |
| kameron | kickar, do you have qemu installed? check. i know it loads it | 10:04 |
| llutz | Guest27909: strange, killall should have done too | 10:05 |
| kameron | Zeppelin, try "killall runewin" if that's the proces name. | 10:05 |
| brynjarh | what's the state of ATI and Nvidia free and closed drivers? The last time I checked (a few years ago) to get full usage one would go with nvidia and closed drivers. | 10:05 |
| Younder | brynjarh, you still do | 10:05 |
| kameron | brynjarh, nvidia still has the best closed drivers, with a really nice control panel. the free drivers are a lot better too now. i have no experience with ati. | 10:06 |
| llutz | Guest27909: difference is: kill needs pid, killall uses processname | 10:06 |
| zhuotuo | ./help | 10:06 |

| kickar | kameron, no i dont , this module is messing up my virtual machine | 10:06 |
| smiter | <----banging his head against the wall.. ati drivers... ATI Drivers hshahahhahahahah.... | 10:06 |
| kameron | kickar, what virtual machine program are you using? | 10:06 |
| Younder | brynjarh, I am running a NVidea driver here and it works fine | 10:06 |
| smiter | i've got an ati card... driving me bonkers | 10:06 |
| frogzoo | smiter: ati have put a lot of work into linux drivers recently | 10:07 |

| kameron | smiter, did that tutorial help? | 10:07 |
| frogzoo | smiter: old card? | 10:07 |

| Younder | brynjarh, instead of going to the webcite you select machine drivers and it will suggest and install the driver for you. | 10:07 |
| Guest27909 | llutz: oh, sorry, yours works too, now when i try it and dd is running. i though i was supposed to do it when dd was not running at first. | 10:07 |

| smiter | frog, got any ideas on how I am supposed to install my drivers? and what drivers i use? | 10:08 |

| LuciusMare | is it possible to use debootstrap to create base system of karmic,then install kubuntu-desktop to make kubuntu-karmic? | 10:16 |
| kameron | hacker-palso, google each term | 10:16 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, yes. that's a long way of doing it though. | 10:17 |
| hacker-palso | ok kameron its just i've got confused | 10:17 |
| LuciusMare | kameron: i want to create a clean distro | 10:17 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, are you going to install kubuntu-desktop? | 10:17 |
| LuciusMare | yes | 10:17 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, you might as well just install the kubuntu release then. it'll be exactly the same./ | 10:18 |
| LuciusMare | u | 10:18 |
| LuciusMare | uh | 10:18 |
| LuciusMare | kubuntu-desktop does not contain only kde patched for kubuntu? | 10:18 |
| patpatpat | does anyone happen to know when the new gma 500 drivers are going to come out from intel? | 10:19 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, ....what? | 10:19 |
| guntbert | !ot | patpatpat | 10:19 |
| LuciusMare | kameron: i expected kubuntu-desktop to contain only KDE | 10:19 |
| ubottu | patpatpat: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:19 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, it is. so is the kubuntu release. | 10:19 |
| LuciusMare | but kubuntu release contains a lot of more things i dont need | 10:20 |
| LuciusMare | for example,i will never use kopete,so i dont want it there | 10:20 |
| LuciusMare | and other things | 10:20 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, if you were to debootstrap a base system, then install "kubuntu-desktop", you will have the same system as just installing the kubuntu release. | 10:20 |
| LuciusMare | other things i dont know about,and dont need it | 10:20 |
| LuciusMare | so kubuntu-desktop does not install only kde? | 10:20 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, kubuntu-desktop comes with kopete, etc, and lots of other software | 10:21 |
| === g5pw is now known as g5pw|away | ||
| === g5pw|away is now known as g5pw | ||
| kameron | LuciusMare, right, kubuntu-desktop does not ONLY install kde | 10:21 |
| LuciusMare | god | 10:21 |
| LuciusMare | okay,thanks then | 10:21 |
| kameron | LuciusMare, you can install just KDE. or you can install kubuntu and remove all the extra bits. | 10:21 |

| blinkiz | Hi. I have a lot of different machines I login to with ssh each day. It's getting to much to keep all these ports and ip numbers in my head, so I need to have.. something. Like a gui where I can easily save all my ssh sessions. Anyone that knows what am talking about here? :) | 10:26 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: do any of them have actual DNS hostnames instead of just IP addresses? | 10:27 |
| blinkiz | lstarnes, yea, some of them have dns names | 10:27 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: you could add entries for the IPs to /etc/hosts | 10:28 |
| blinkiz | lstarnes, well, it does not solve that each machine has different usernames and ports | 10:28 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: you might just have to memorize them. I think putty supports storing sessions | 10:29 |
| blinkiz | lstarnes, yes it does. Is something like putty am looking for | 10:29 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: possibly | 10:29 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: but I prefer using cli utilities instead of gui whenever possible | 10:29 |
| blinkiz | lstarnes, well, a nice bash script would work for me | 10:30 |
| lstarnes | blinkiz: you could write a bash script for it | 10:30 |
| blinkiz | lstarnes, yeah, but maybe someone in #ubuntu had a better solution I thought :) | 10:31 |

| lstarnes | g5pw: what method are you using for halting? | 10:39 |
| g5pw | sudo halt | 10:39 |
| L-four | Hey in bash can some one tell me how to find available displays, i and trying to start programs remotely on to a remote display. | 10:39 |
| lstarnes | g5pw: try sudo shutdown -h now | 10:39 |
| L-four | lol no | 10:39 |
| Younder | blinkiz, Seriously when your demands become spesific to your needs eventually you will have to roll your own, and python makes a great srcipting tool. Much better than bash. | 10:39 |
| g5pw | mmh.. it does the same thing, i think... | 10:39 |
| g5pw | trying now | 10:40 |

| lstarnes | g5pw: shutdown handles things differently | 10:40 |
| blinkiz | have found hotssh, putty, sshm, sshmenu and secpanel so far in the repository. Probably something will suite me :) | 10:40 |
| g5pw | ok, will try now, tnx | 10:40 |
| blinkiz | sshm and sshmenu seems to be really good. Someone that has a console program to manage all ssh sessions. :) | 10:41 |

| linduxed | ActionParsnip1: they should include it though, it's superior to gtwitter | 11:42 |

| bazhang | TheSarge, you need to use gconf-editor as in the link above | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hanshenrik: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? | 11:49 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hanshenrik: and 32bit can use all your ram, you just need PAE | 11:50 |
| arn- | Keiya: I think under the menu.lst in /boot/grub, you can change the label | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hanshenrik: which is enabled by default in the server kernel | 11:51 |
| Zlobi | hashenrik: New kernels for the WLAN, and generally for the rest... | 11:51 |
| cyberjorge | hi, what does "cp -var" does? | 11:51 |
| Zlobi | this is imo... | 11:51 |
| ActionParsnip1 | hanshenrik: so yes, a 32bit kernel can access all your ram | 11:51 |

| Younder | bigdavjoker, you are looking at the wrong thing.. Windows has two boot partions. If one fails the other takes it's place | 11:53 |
| TheSarge | bazhang, Well as the users in the thread say that option leaves you with an unusable desktop as far as icons and such go, I am considering using the method in the last post | 11:54 |

| root_ | can anybody tell me the step to configure Ip multicast on ubuntu plz | 11:57 |
| bigdavjoker | Younder, okay it also sees my recovery partition but won't boot it either says something about missing /boot/bcd | 11:57 |
| bigdavjoker | Younder, so I was guessing that maybe something in the boot files for vista partition was screwed up but can't figure out how tot try and check or fix and I don't have a vista CD handy to try and fix the install | 11:58 |

| vicktor_421 | Hello , last night something went wrong with my hard drive , i simply tried to copy some data , and when i turn my computer today its seems the hard drive has some errors , i used the Livecd and run the command "fsck -pcfv /dev/sda1" and i get the following error - ttempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda1 Could this be a zero-length partition? any idea ? | 12:08 |
| creature | So. I have an encrypted /tmp on a separate partition, via dm-crypt. The way this works is that dm-crypt creates a new filesystem at boot time. But mount seems to be trying to mount it too soon – at a guess, cryptsetup is creating the device node before its finished creating a filesystem on it, so it can't be mounted when mountall tries. How can I fix this? | 12:09 |

| Drunken | strangely enough it did in debian | 12:22 |
| Tesssa | it gets as far as 3of6 the click forward it jumps to 4of7 and leaves out the paretioner | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip1 | Younder: I had to edit that file to remove the --no-floppy option causing my system not to boot | 12:22 |

| jennyfast2 | What MID do you all recommend? I'd like something the size of a Nintendo DS or smaller? | 12:23 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, Can I just dist-upgrade to normal karmic? | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: from what release? | 12:25 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, When I right click on the window in the bottom window selector panel it allows me to unmaximize then its normal with all the buttons? | 12:25 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, 9.10 Ubuntu Netbook Remix | 12:25 |
| TheSarge | But I don't wanna lose all the netbook optimazations? | 12:25 |
| hebz0rl | hello im using lighttpd under ubuntu 9.10 how can i restrict it so it can just access /var/www is there a way where i dont have to change the chmod of all files to 750? | 12:26 |
| === patchplpl is now known as verium | ||
| en1gm4 | i've just upgraded to 9.10. I've a problem with audio, my input is a mix of my mic output and my audio card output, it's annoying in conversation because the other person hears his voice back, I was able to solve it in 9.04 but the interface in 9.10 is totally different, anyone knows how to solve it? | 12:26 |
| Wistful | If I run runlevel command it tells me I'm in runlevel 2 although I have Xfce running, wtf? | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: you already have karmic then, if you uninstall the netbook stuff you will have a regular desktop | 12:26 |
| kinja-sheep | en1gm4: Try padevchooser | 12:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: the only thing the netbook remix as over the desktop is a different desktop otherwise its the same release | 12:27 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, No its not, lol it has all sorts of lil netbook gizmos | 12:27 |
| MASARUwota | !lol|TheSarge | 12:28 |
| ubottu | TheSarge: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 12:28 |
| en1gm4 | kinja-sheep: thanks, downloading | 12:28 |
| TheSarge | Its optimized for atom processors | 12:28 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: Ubuntu-Desktop + extra-10-packages | 12:28 |
| TheSarge | I will say lol all I want. | 12:28 |
| MASARUwota | !lol|TheSarge | 12:28 |
| ubottu | TheSarge: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 12:28 |
| jozefk | it seems Cone can't handle multiple SMTP accounts :( unfortunatelly | 12:28 |
| TheSarge | kinja-sheep, It is actually compiled for specific hardware not a generic kenel build. | 12:29 |
| Younder | OK, present shopping time | 12:29 |
| frogzoo | not time like the present | 12:29 |
| Younder | later.. | 12:29 |
| four | can someone tell me? is there a way to make the top panel in gnome go away? | 12:30 |
| CShadowRun | four: right click on it, delete panel. | 12:30 |
| TheSarge | Something is making every program I start fully maximized with no close maximize or restore buttons? | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: its the same release, just with some tweaks and jolts so it suits a netbook screen | 12:30 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: you mean, your window manager is screwed? | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: you need to run a window manager like metacity or fluxbox | 12:31 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: Have you successfully ran MID on your Nintendo DS yet? Do you know how to put it on it there? You could always install ubuntu-minimal and install packages as you go. | 12:31 |
| MASARUwota | !wm|TheSarge | 12:31 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, I am running Metacity already.... | 12:31 |
| TheSarge | I know what a WM is. | 12:32 |
| shane2peru | ok, I need some help recovering my encrypted data | 12:32 |
| shane2peru | here is what happened, my computer is died, power surge, lightning stuck close to home | 12:32 |
| en1gm4 | kinja-sheep: no idea how to solve it with that :O | 12:32 |
| TheSarge | I just need to know how to configure metacity to not maximize everything with no buttons like this | 12:32 |
| shane2peru | I had just rsynced my home directory to an external disk | 12:32 |
| TheSarge | maybe reinstalling metacity? | 12:33 |
| kinja-sheep | en1gm4: Look under Accessories --> Sound/Video. You'll see it there. Run it and it'll show up in notification area. Click on that and edit your input/output and stuffs. | 12:33 |
| shane2peru | so I open the disk and the encrypted directory seems to have been transfered, however I'm not sure how to access it? any ideas? | 12:33 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: replace metacity with openbox =) | 12:33 |
| Halitech | TheSarge, are you running compiz? sounds like something compiz would do | 12:33 |
| TheSarge | Halitech, No | 12:33 |
| en1gm4 | kinja-sheep: yes I'm able to run it, but not to solve my problem... | 12:33 |
| TheSarge | MASARUwota, I want to use Metacity | 12:34 |
| TheSarge | Has no one ever converted netbook remix to use classic desktop before? | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: you could find the metacity config folders in ~, rename them then rerun metacity | 12:34 |
| shane2peru | no one knows of how to restore encrypted data? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: there used to be a switcher but it seems to be missing somewhere | 12:35 |
| shane2peru | !encrypted | 12:35 |
| ubottu | For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 12:35 |
| kinja-sheep | en1gm4: In Sound Preferences, have you checked out Hardware tab and try different profile? | 12:35 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, Because it was broken. | 12:35 |
| en1gm4 | kinja-sheep: yes I tried all of them, and all input connector I have | 12:36 |
| CyberArch | when I do sudo service gdm stop it tells me initctl: unknown instance, why ? | 12:37 |
| kinja-sheep | en1gm4: What make/model? | 12:37 |
| TheSarge | ActionParsnip1, would I have to do that everytime I restarted? | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: you can add a startup item to run it for you | 12:37 |
| kaizer | hi. I'm trying to run a .jar file | 12:38 |
| TheSarge | I cant believe I can't just do a dist-upgrade or something | 12:38 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: sudo killall maximus | 12:38 |
| en1gm4 | kinja-sheep: it's integrated on the motherboard... I don't know really... it was working on 9.04 | 12:38 |
| erUSUL | CyberArch: gives the same for me. but seems to work anyway. so harmless noise it is afaics | 12:38 |
| kaizer | i'm supposed to set up some path | 12:38 |
| TheSarge | Im going to just have to do a clean install huh? | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: its not a different system or OS so its not a dist-upgrade, its a simple config screwup | 12:39 |
| kinja-sheep | en1gm4: Check for your make/model. Hopefully there are something useful --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 12:39 |
| TheSarge | Doesn't seem simple to me | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: to many its simple, plastic surgery is simple to many surgeons but not us | 12:40 |
| kcj1993 | is there anyway to clean out ram in ubuntu? | 12:40 |
| kinja-sheep | !info maximus | TheSarge (is it running?) | 12:40 |
| ubottu | TheSarge: maximus (source: maximus): A window management tool. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4.14-0ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 19 kB, installed size 144 kB | 12:40 |
| MASARUwota | kcj1993: do you mean swap space or actual RAM? | 12:40 |
| TheSarge | kinja-sheep, Is that the netbook desktop thing? | 12:40 |
| CyberArch | How do I remove a module from the linux kernel if it's in use ? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kcj1993: sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 12:40 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: Yes. | 12:40 |
| amy_ | does anyone know how to link the windows dll to wine | 12:40 |
| amy_ | ? | 12:40 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: One of the extra ten-or-so packages. | 12:41 |
| MASARUwota | amy_: put them in the windows folders in wine | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | amy_: put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/WINDOWS you will need to use winecfg to tell wine to use the dll | 12:41 |
| MASARUwota | ^that | 12:41 |
| TheSarge | kinja-sheep, Okay that removed that but it still maximizes everything so that have no close/maximize/etc? | 12:42 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: listen, your window manager, metacity, is screwed. try removing its configuration files | 12:42 |
| TheSarge | actually the weird desktop thing is still there gr | 12:42 |
| TheSarge | MASARUwota, How? | 12:43 |
| amy_ | is that how i be able to load up or install tomtom home | 12:43 |
| hanshenrik | could someone with a 64-bit installtion upload their /etc/apt/sources.list.distUpgrade somewhere? | 12:43 |
| holden_ | hello, i need some models of webcam that work out of the box in ubuntu 9.10. thanks | 12:43 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge; look for ~/.metacity or a metacity dir in ~/.config | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | amy_: check the appdb | 12:43 |
| ActionParsnip1 | amy_: it may be completely incompatible | 12:43 |
| TheSarge | huh? | 12:43 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: :/ like i said | 12:43 |
| kcj1993 | I don't want to drop the cache. My system has been up for 14h and I'm only running xchat and system monitor and it's using 400mb of ram excluding cache | 12:44 |
| TheSarge | You don't make sense | 12:44 |
| TheSarge | I don't see why dist upgrade won't give me the normal setup? | 12:44 |
| cyberjorge | hi, how do you set the the default user directory to root dir in proftpd? I always directed to /home/user | 12:44 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: yes i do. there should be either a config file in ~/.metacity or ~/.config somewhere :/ | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: try it: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 12:44 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: its not that hard :/ | 12:44 |
| sunshinepants | i'm getting this when the broadcom sta module loads: lib80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL' | 12:45 |
| shane2peru | ok, following this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually when I get the directory mounted, it is all humble jumble, letters that make no sense | 12:45 |
| TheSarge | MASARUwota, That isn't very specific | 12:45 |
| sunshinepants | and the wireless device isn't working | 12:45 |
| amy_ | ActionParsnip1: i have checked the appdb, it says it is compatible | 12:45 |
| lianimator | anyone know why gnome-do uses 200% CPU on startup sometimes? (dual-core CPU) And it doesn't work. | 12:45 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge:just look for it already :/ jesus christ | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | TheSarge: http://pastebin.com/m24b2e276 | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip1 | amy_: cool then read the guide below the bit saying its compatible and you will find hints | 12:46 |
| kcj1993 | so anyone know how to clean the memory? | 12:46 |
| indus | kcj1993: you mean physically/ | 12:46 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: what do you mean clean the memory ? | 12:46 |
| lockd | amy_, return the brick, or use virtualbox (non open source edition) with USB passthrough | 12:46 |
| TheSarge | MASARUwota, I HAVE BEEN | 12:46 |
| kcj1993 | the ram not swap | 12:46 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: GOOD | 12:47 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: what do you mean by "clean" | 12:47 |
| TheSarge | MASARUwota, wow how old are you? | 12:47 |
| MASARUwota | TheSarge: why would you care? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: the topic of this channel is ubuntu support please try to keep to that, MASARUwota you too please | 12:47 |
| amy_ | lockd: how do you mean? | 12:47 |
| kcj1993 | get rid of garbage that running programs accumulate over time | 12:48 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kcj1993: did my command not work? | 12:48 |
| MASARUwota | kcj1993: if you kill the processes they are gone, otherwise you should look in the apps themselves | 12:48 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: the kernel will deal with that for you, it's called garbage collection | 12:48 |
| TheSarge | All I see is compiz | 12:49 |
| TheSarge | I nuked the compiz configs and its still doing it | 12:49 |
| TheSarge | I did a metacity --replace though so I should be using metacity | 12:49 |
| lockd | amy_, it's not detected as a USB mass storage device, though? | 12:50 |
| TheSarge | Its almost like when its maximized the buttons are hiding under the top gnome panel | 12:50 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: Any chance you're using Human Netbook Theme? | 12:50 |
| amy_ | lockd: how do you return the brick or use virtualbox with usb passthrough | 12:50 |
| amy_ | ? | 12:50 |
| TheSarge | kinja-sheep, No | 12:50 |
| amy_ | lockd, how do you suggest me to do? | 12:50 |
| lockd | amy_, return the brick, means return the piece of hardware you can't use without proprietary drivers. chances are you can't do that | 12:51 |
| george_ | were do i get the list of ubuntu bugs | 12:51 |
| kodomo | hi folks... I've got a keymap problem... would be glad about pointers on how to debug this: | 12:51 |
| lockd | amy_, as for virtualbox, you go to virtualbox.org and download their software, and install a version of windows, and HOPE it works | 12:51 |
| traveller | TheSarge, you said you removed the package maximus? did you also restart your X session? | 12:51 |
| kinja-sheep | TheSarge: "gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel_screen0/auto_hide false" | 12:51 |
| amy_ | but why does wine appdb says it is compatible then? | 12:51 |
| TheSarge | traveller, I logged out and in? | 12:51 |
| === tommy is now known as Guest70912 | ||
| kcj1993 | ikonia: when? | 12:52 |
| kodomo | I've got a hardy machine running synergys and a koala machine running synergyc - both have the same keymab xkb configuration | 12:52 |
| enthdegree | Hoi, is there any way to tell what package has <somefile.so> using apt? | 12:52 |
| traveller | TheSarge, yes, logging out and then in | 12:52 |
| TheSarge | traveller, Ya I did that | 12:52 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: real time | 12:52 |
| kodomo | however, when I type my @ via synergy on the koala machine, I get an Ω (Omega) instead | 12:52 |
| amy_ | lockd, do you mean by download the tomtom software from virtualbox.org? | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip1 | ikonia: how about: sudo echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches | 12:53 |
| kcj1993 | xp used less memory that this | 12:53 |
| dath | how can i change the ubuntu startup sound? | 12:53 |
| axle | why would fdisk keep giving me a unable to open /dev/sda error | 12:53 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip1: that's only going to be cache data, that will get cleared up in garbage collection too, but thats one way | 12:53 |
| TheSarge | Should I just remove the entire ubuntu-netbook-remix package? | 12:53 |
| kodomo | when I type the @ with the keyboard, of the respective machine, I actually do get the xkbcomp -I$HOME/.xkb ~/.xkb/keymap/xkb_map_grsch $DISPLAY | 12:53 |
| lockd | amy_, download the /virtualbox/ software from virtualbox.org, if you absolutely must have the tomtom software running. | 12:53 |
| kodomo | do get the @ | 12:53 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: windows and ubuntu use memory in different ways, I'm confident the memory you think is in use is being used as cache | 12:53 |
| TheSarge | brb | 12:53 |
| kodomo | (mist-pasted, sorry) | 12:53 |
| axle | also, can 2 different linux distros on the same HD share a swap partition? | 12:53 |
| dath | axle: yes | 12:54 |
| amy_ | ok but it got about 3 on there? which one do i download? | 12:54 |
| axle | dath: awesome | 12:54 |
| indus | yes they can axle | 12:54 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: It's not cache | 12:54 |
| dath | where can i change the ubuntu startup sound? | 12:54 |
| wsjunior | i would like to make cheese to work with kubuntu, what should i install? | 12:54 |
| amy_ | it says virtual box binaries or virtualbox Open Source Edition (OSE)? | 12:54 |
| amy_ | lockd? | 12:54 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: how do you know | 12:55 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip1: The answer is no, TheSarge has not asked in #compiz so I dont know why he told you no one is active there | 12:55 |
| TheSarge | Got it, thanks traveller! | 12:55 |
| wsjunior | i've already installed cheese but it crashes when i try to record something | 12:55 |
| darrend | enthdegree: dpkg -S <somefile.so> | 12:55 |
| lexsoOr | !gfx | 12:55 |
| enthdegree | xthankyou | 12:55 |
| TheSarge | soreau, Yes I did want a log? | 12:55 |
| lexsoOr | !glx | 12:55 |
| traveller | TheSarge, no worries | 12:55 |
| lockd | amy_, you have to get the binaries, because OSE does NOT support USB pass through | 12:55 |
| wsjunior | but when i use it in gnome it works normally | 12:55 |
| soreau | TheSarge: Someone already told you your problem which is maximus, but you did not listen | 12:55 |
| amy_ | okm | 12:55 |
| lockd | amy_, and you will have to pass through devices | 12:55 |
| axle | anyone know why fdisk cannot open /dev/sda? im running on sdb, and i did a fuser -m to check if its in use, and its not, i dont know what else fdisk wants from me | 12:55 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: because the total would be 850mb | 12:55 |
| TheSarge | soreau, I didn't thats funny cause I did? You sure are a ignorant fool. | 12:55 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: what are you actually seeing that concerns you? | 12:56 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: no name calling please | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip1 | axle: try: sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 12:56 |
| enthdegree | Wait, does dpkg -S search uninstalled packages too? | 12:56 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: sort of | 12:56 |
| soreau | TheSarge: Not listening while calling people names is doubly negative for your position. You will never get anywhere this way | 12:56 |
| amy_ | lockd, do I download the one for windows hosts, OS X hosts, Linux hosts, Solaris and OpenSolaris hosts or Software Developer Kit? | 12:56 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: could you explain what you are seeing that worries you please | 12:56 |
| axle | ActionParsnip1: thanx your a genius | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | enthdegree: you can use: apt-cache search something to search packages | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip1 | axle: hardly, but thanks :D | 12:57 |
| lockd | amy_, the host is what OS you are running it on | 12:57 |
| wsjunior | ** (cheese:2998): WARNING **: No GConf default audio src key and alsasrc doesn't work | 12:57 |
| dath | where can i change the gnome login sound? | 12:57 |
| LjL | enthdegree: dpkg -S doesn't, but you can use http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to do that, or the "apt-file" program | 12:57 |
| amy_ | lockd, i am running it on ubuntu linux | 12:57 |
| Sacho | dath preferences-sound | 12:58 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: if I restart i would be seeing about 180mb in use excluding cache | 12:58 |
| wsxu | sas | 12:58 |
| enthdegree | hum. Ok, thanks. :D | 12:58 |
| dath | Sacho: i can only choose betwen ubuntu theme and no sound | 12:58 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: what are you actually seeing that worries you though | 12:59 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: yes why would it climb so much? | 12:59 |
| henry_ | output handler "ob_gzhandler" conflicts with "zlib output compression" => in my webbrowser , I try to get IPplan working on Ubuntu server | 12:59 |
| Sacho | dath: you can change the actual sound | 12:59 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: WHAT are you actually seeing that worries you | 12:59 |
| TheSarge | soreau, Dude what are you taling about my issue was resolved long ago... nothing to do with what you were talking about. Just mind your business and troll somewhere else please. | 13:00 |
| dath | Sacho: i can only choose a warning sound | 13:00 |
| kodomo | actually, xev tells me that when I type the @ overy synergy, it receives an additional Keypress event for Level-3-Shift, then a keypress for Omega then a release for Level-3-Shift, and then a release for Q | 13:01 |
| kodomo | that's just plain nonsense... :( | 13:01 |
| Sacho | dath: I have no idea what you mean. From Desktop -> Login you can change the login sound. Just click on Default, select Custom, and select your sound | 13:01 |
| soreau | TheSarge: Seems you finally payed attention. Maybe next time you will listen sooner | 13:01 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: enough now - please stop it - soreau you too | 13:01 |
| TheSarge | soreau, yes I "payed" attention. haha. Goto school. | 13:01 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: enough - | 13:01 |
| TheSarge | ikonia, Excuse me, you are talking to the wrong guy, he is the one trolling. So leave me alone. | 13:02 |
| amy_ | lockd, my computer is intel, not AMD64 | 13:02 |
| TheSarge | Wow now your being reported for descrimination. | 13:02 |
| kcj1993 | ikonia: the high mem usage for no apparent reason | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kcj1993: you will use ram as disk cache | 13:03 |
| dath | Sacho: http://i47.tinypic.com/25tdpab.png | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip1 | kcj1993: unused ram is wasted ram | 13:03 |
| ikonia | kcj1993: what do you see as "hi" the kernel will manage your ram and flush what's needed when needed | 13:03 |
| lockd | amy_, if it's 64-bit, it's AMD64 regardless | 13:03 |
| ikonia | TheSarge: please make any complaint in #ubuntu-ops | 13:03 |
| amy_ | how can i check whether it is 64 or ot | 13:04 |
| amy_ | not* | 13:04 |
| lockd | amy_, but if you are running 32-bit Ubuntu, you need 32-bit packages. well the package manager will check for you | 13:04 |
| lockd | amy_, if it doesn't match up, you just won't easily be able to install it | 13:04 |
| amy_ | where is the package manager? | 13:04 |
| ikonia | !syantpic | amy_ | 13:04 |
| ikonia | !synaptic | amy_ | 13:05 |
| ubottu | amy_: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 13:05 |
| dath | what's a good gnome app to print dvd inlays? | 13:05 |

| tj83_ | m0ar, its the very nature of "twinview" if you want to be able to shift windows from screen to screen then you must have one desktop area as wide as both screens, so yes, use gimp or other to create images the span of your desktop. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | m0ar: sure but i'd love to see someone try and get windows to do half the stuff linux can do | 13:41 |
| m0ar | ActionParsnip1: ;D | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | m0ar: like I said, its moot | 13:42 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: I mean i guess I can stop asking you then if ur busy, i guess ill try and find it myself | 13:42 |

| Quan-Time | erUSUL: cheers | 13:46 |
| Lartza_ | Well yea | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip1 | subichan: but if you ddrescure like that you will copy the bad areas too, if you ddrescue to an image you can fsck it to possibly repair | 13:46 |
| Lartza_ | Maybe not if the partitions are on the same blocks | 13:46 |
| Slart | Lartza_: not sure if uuids can change for the hard drives too.. if so you need to update fstab | 13:46 |
| Lartza_ | WEll, but it can be done | 13:46 |
| Slart | Lartza_: but apart from that.. yes it should work | 13:46 |

| fgiasson | libc.so.6 sorry | 14:18 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: control your language | 14:18 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: if you can't report a problem without swearing - don't report it | 14:19 |
| pasjr | I can connect to the internet in 9.10 with my wireless N- usb, however unable to transmit or receive. Why? | 14:19 |
| gdb | ikonia: relax | 14:19 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: if libc.so is having a problem after an update I suggest either a.) you're not using official ubuntu repositories b.) you're not using ubuntu c.) you have a hardware problem | 14:19 |
| ikonia | gdb: no - the channels policy is no swearing | 14:20 |
| kinja-sheep | gdb: You relax. | 14:20 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: sorry, didn't mean to be swearing; maybe the F word doesn't have the same impact the way I thought I was saying it and the way native English people listen at it ;) sorry about that) | 14:20 |
| Dr_Willis | libc.so i dont think would be getting updated that often. | 14:20 |
| gdb | I totally get that, but people are human and it's *ok* to let it slide once. | 14:20 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: I'm native english | 14:20 |
| ikonia | gdb: I did let it slide, I asked him to stop | 14:20 |
| gdb | No, you spent more time telling him to stop swearing than you devoted to an answer. Something like "woah, no need for the f word, but let me help you with your issue..." is more apropos. | 14:21 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: let me check which repository I am using. In fact, it is a EC2 instance, so I don't think it could apply to (c) except if they have real issues | 14:21 |
| fgiasson | so will check (a) and (b) | 14:21 |
| gdiz | Dr_Willis, so doing it through the command line, sudo smbpasswd -a myusername ... does that just give access to myusername for smb or do I actually need to include a password too | 14:21 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: if libc had a fatal problem like that it would have long been noticed, so I can only suggest the place you're getting it from is not an official build or a hardware problem | 14:21 |
| ikonia | gdiz: I've responded with detailed assistance to him, | 14:21 |
| fgiasson | yup, maybe it is the problem :|; will tell you in a second | 14:21 |
| Dr_Willis | gdiz: it will ask for a password to use. I alw2ays use the same password as the users login pass. | 14:22 |

| saritor | is there a way to mark a package as one you dont want to install with apt-get even if a meta package would install it? | 14:25 |
| vonadhz | so will this work on ubuntu 9.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208855? | 14:25 |
| gdb | saritor: Yes, through apt pinning the details of which are documented somewhere (and not in my head). But that may get you pointed in the right direction. | 14:25 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: I'd recommend against tryig it | 14:25 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: that's putting grub 1 back in place | 14:26 |
| saritor | gdb: thanks | 14:26 |
| gdb | Of course! | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gdb: it does | 14:26 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: really? | 14:26 |
| Dday | ActionParsnip1, P5LD2-SE from ASUStek computers inc | 14:26 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: yes | 14:26 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: i though it replaces it with gfx boot | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: given that the date on that thread is 2006 - i wouldent try it | 14:26 |
| vonadhz | okay thanks guys | 14:26 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: which is built on grub1 | 14:26 |
| vonadhz | you guys have synaptic right | 14:26 |
| ikonia | yes | 14:27 |
| vonadhz | if you open it | 14:27 |
| AZDiablo | hello | 14:27 |
| vonadhz | search | 14:27 |
| vonadhz | gfxboot | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gdb: SuSE, pronounced soo'-suh, comes from the German acronym, "Software und Systementwicklung (Software and System Development | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: or just do a apt-cache search gfxboot :) | 14:27 |
| gdb | ActionParsnip1: Ah! I never knew that! That's something I'll take note and try to remember. ;-) | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gdb: fairly useless info | 14:28 |
| Lartza_ | vonadhz: What's the problem? | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: lol i dont know what that is | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | im a noob | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | recently started | 14:28 |
| AZDiablo | i downloaded the teamspeak 3 server software. how do i start the program in the terminal? | 14:28 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: I advise you not to use it | 14:28 |
| ikonia | AZDiablo: read the documentation on it | 14:28 |
| gdiz | ikonia, no I don't. But I tried logging on as my username and it wouldn't let me. So, I specified a new username and gave smb permission, but whenever I tried to turn off the computer while connected to the smb share, it said another user was logged on. so, I needed to figure out how to log on as the same user logged on to ubuntu box, and that did the trick right there | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: okay but the one in synaptic is the same right? | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | sorry | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | wrong person | 14:28 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: so its the same thing right? | 14:29 |
| HardDrive | How can i use NTFS as the defualt fs? | 14:29 |
| Dday | i upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and the sound no longer works, anyone know what to do? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: it's the same package as listed in that forum post | 14:29 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: xept it says the most recent version is for karmic | 14:29 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: whoaaa not advisable | 14:29 |
| HardDrive | WHy not? | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | HardDrive: THis is THE WAY: DON'T | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: apt-cache and synaptic and the other apt tools all access the same stuff. | 14:29 |
| pasjr | go to admin-aut and setup permission to use | 14:29 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: NTFS support is not %100 relible | 14:29 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: karmic wasnt around in 2006 though | 14:29 |
| HardDrive | How so? | 14:29 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: so ? | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip1 | HardDrive: ntfs can't hold the linu permissions needed | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | HardDrive: its not even doable.. so dont try. | 14:29 |
| HardDrive | NTFS is journalled | 14:29 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: so its just a newer version correct? | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | HardDrive: ... | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | HardDrive: so its journlled... so what. | 14:29 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: as in it's not %100 stable | 14:29 |
| pasjr | Dday 9.10 gives me wireless problems, I rolled back to 9.04 | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | HardDrive can I talk to you in private? | 14:30 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: your using a close MS file system on linux, not practicle | 14:30 |
| Dr_Willis | HardDrive: so is ext3/4 and proberly other filesystems. | 14:30 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: does it replace grub 2 with gfxboot or with grub1? | 14:30 |
| scunizi | vonadhz: you're entering a mine field.. if you're that new it's probalby not best that you start replacing or messing with grub.. unless you really like breaking things and reinstalling | 14:30 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: grub 1 | 14:30 |
| trijntje | Hi all, in Karmic my sound gives a loud crack just before it starts playing. Any pointers on how to fix this? | 14:30 |
| === DBU`s is now known as rafaqueque | ||
| HardDrive | Lartza_, sure | 14:30 |
| vonadhz | ehh im exploring | 14:30 |
| gdb | HardDrive: NTFS does not support (easily) Unix sytem permissions, it does not support extended attributes, it is closed source (owned by Microsoft) and the implementation in Linux is reversed engineered. It is not designed with Unix security in mind. It is useful for removable media that is shared with Windows machines, it is not useful for use as a primary fs type for Linux (or any Unix). | 14:30 |
| pasjr | trijntje: turn down the sound levels in pulse | 14:31 |
| Johnaha | with python, how do i write code, save it as .py then use that to convert into an exutable | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | trijntje: if the machine just sits for a while (or no sound plays for a while) does it crack/pop right befor it plays a sound? | 14:31 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: coudlnt u just install grub 1 then? | 14:31 |
| trijntje | Dr_Willis, yes | 14:31 |
| vonadhz | ikonia; wats the difference or advantage of getting gfx over grub1? | 14:31 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: if you really wanted to, but it wouldn't have the gxfboot patches | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | trijntje: thats a sign of the 'power saveing' feature of the sound card/settings causing issues. | 14:31 |
| trijntje | pasjr, whats pulse? | 14:31 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: I strongly suggest reading about something before installing it, or at least knowing what grub-gfxboot does | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | trijntje: theres some config file ya can edit to 'fix' that | 14:31 |
| gdb | I can't remember if Ubuntu is supporting NTFS through a FUSE driver or not. Does anyone else know off the top of their head? | 14:31 |
| HardDrive | pulse is your heartbeat | 14:31 |
| grawity | gdb: NTFS supports alternate streams, and ntfs-3g can use them as xattrs. NTFS also supports detailed ACLs, and ntfs-3g can use them for Unix permissions. | 14:31 |
| thiebaude | !pulse | 14:31 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 14:31 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: thats why Im asking you guys | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | gdb: ntfs-3g uses fuse i recall. | 14:32 |
| grawity | gdb: And yeah, Ubuntu comes with the FUSE-based ntfs-3g driver. | 14:32 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: I couldnt really find a detailed desciption | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | Johnaha: put « #!/usr/bin/env python » as the first line of the program give it executable permissions | 14:32 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: don't worry about things like grub | 14:32 |
| pasjr | pulse audio, it is in 9.10 look in media-pulse device manager | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | vonadhz: you may want to learn some more linux basics befor worrying about eyecandy | 14:32 |
| HardDrive | NTFS supports shadow copys | 14:32 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: then why do you want to install it if you don't know what it is | 14:32 |
| === Guest25731 is now known as Mud | ||
| ikonia | HardDrive: not on linux it doesn't | 14:32 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: it does not have full support on ubuntu | 14:32 |
| HardDrive | of course it dosent | 14:32 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: im not installing it | 14:32 |
| HardDrive | what about HFS+ support? | 14:32 |
| HardDrive | I have an external HFS+ drive for my imac | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | !hfs | 14:32 |
| ubottu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 14:32 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: limited | 14:32 |
| trijntje | Dr_Willis, I already deactivated the powersafe option in alsa-base.conf | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | trijntje: im out of ideas then. | 14:33 |
| gdb | grawity: I was using it recently to copy some data from an IRIX system to an external disk using NTFS attached to an Ubuntu machine but I didn't look into the details. I was just glad it worked and I didn't have to reformat the external drive. | 14:33 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: im just a fan off all the custimization so ive been wanting to change the grub boot screen and what not | 14:33 |
| HardDrive | why is HFS+ closed too like NTFS? | 14:33 |
| ikonia | vonadhz: it adds a graphics option | 14:33 |
| Segaja | hi, was grip removed from the repos of ubuntu 9.10? | 14:33 |
| dorne | how can you unfreeze your usb mouse and keyboard? The system itself is running. | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | HardDrive: yes i belive it is. | 14:33 |
| comawhite_ | HardDisk: yes HFS+ is clsoed | 14:33 |
| comawhite_ | closed* | 14:33 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: and have had a lot of problems, Dr_wilis tried to help me but that didnt work | 14:33 |
| lstarnes | !info grip karmic | Segaja | 14:33 |
| ubottu | Segaja: Package grip does not exist in karmic | 14:33 |
| HardDrive | What is the point of keeping 2 filesystems closed? | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Segaja: yes i belive it was | 14:33 |
| vonadhz | ikonia: Ill keep researching | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | HardDrive: go ask MS and apple. | 14:33 |
| trijntje | Dr_Willis, np, thanks for your time | 14:33 |
| comawhite_ | HardDrive: ask them | 14:33 |
| Johnaha | erusul, wh will that do? | 14:33 |
| subichan | scuse me | 14:33 |
| Segaja | hm, so where do i find a deb file for that? | 14:33 |
| subichan | what happened to gddrescue in synaptic? i can't find it | 14:33 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: that's nothing to do with ubuntu so offtopic here | 14:33 |
| pasjr | trijntje, it has nothing to do with alsa, you some where turned on pulse audio, either turn it off or remove it and that should fix your sound issue | 14:34 |
| comawhite_ | you can read/write to HFS+ no problems just can only do it with root | 14:34 |
| Segaja | or does someone know a good other tool like grip | 14:34 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: hummm, using http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy, seems good, no? | 14:34 |
| gdb | HardDrive: Proprietry software model. You purchase a license to use the software, but are not granted access to source code nor are you granted distribution rights. | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip1 | HardDrive: why is any fs closed....ask the developers | 14:34 |
| grawity | gdb: It was in ntfs-3g 'Advanced' for quite a while. Might not be in Ubuntu then. But I have tested both. | 14:34 |
| fgiasson | (hardy, hardy-update, etc) | 14:34 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: that should be spot on | 14:34 |
| scunizi | HardDrive: closed files systems = "We don't want anyone playing in our sandbox" | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | Johnaha: it will run « python yourscript » | 14:34 |
| subitoo | hello, i have a midi keyboard that i connect through USB to my computer; then in order to hear something, i need to start qsynth, and i need to connect the output of the keyboard to the input of qsynth using qjackctl, but then i have a problem using gtick at the same time, because whenever qsynth is on, i get "Please check is speficied sound device and sample file are accessible" when i try to start the metronome | 14:34 |
| gdiz | could someone tell me how to set up printer sharing...preferably bonjour printing but windows printing on ubuntu would work too...I've been reading that 9.10 has been having some trouble, but I wanted see if anyone had a workaround for it | 14:34 |
| Johnaha | k | 14:34 |
| HardDrive | if ntfs is closed up how did NTFS-3g figure it out without running into legal trouble? | 14:34 |
| subichan | i have gutsy gibbon and when i try installing it says i should enable universe but i did enable it and through synaptic i still can't find it | 14:34 |
| subichan | i'm talking of gddrescue | 14:35 |
| trijntje | pasjr, where can I do that? I just did a clean install of Karmic and then I got this issue | 14:35 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: could it be because some software that shouldn't are running? | 14:35 |
| subichan | gnu's ddrescue, antonio diaz's | 14:35 |
| lstarnes | HardDrive: reverse engineering file formats and filesystem formats isn't illegal | 14:35 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: it's reversed engineered, it's not NTFS | 14:35 |
| gdb | HardDrive: blackbox reverese engineering (ie; not decompiling) is perfectly legal. | 14:35 |
| comawhite_ | NTFS sucks anyways | 14:35 |
| HardDrive | o | 14:35 |
| Quan-Time | anyone here got kismet experience ? | 14:35 |
| gdb | This is how Samba implemented a Windows domain controller. | 14:35 |
| HardDrive | IMO NTFS is very durable | 14:35 |
| blinkiz | Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. | 14:35 |
| HardDrive | HFS+ is really that durable | 14:35 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: I don't see how, the only other option I can think of is that you've manually updated libc from outside the repositories, but I'm confident you'd have mentioned that | 14:35 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: no -ones is arguing that | 14:36 |
| Segaja | can i use the lenny package of grip on ubuntu 9.10 ? | 14:36 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: it's just not fully supported on linux | 14:36 |
| Johnaha | egL « #!/usr/bin/env python » | 14:36 |
| Johnaha | print "hi" | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Segaja: no | 14:36 |
| HardDrive | ok | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip1 | gdb: samba also had input from microsoft in development afaik | 14:36 |
| Johnaha | saves as hi.py | 14:36 |
| dorne | is there a way to reset the usb to get my peripherals to work again? | 14:36 |
| lwb | how to add a char to the end of line | 14:36 |
| HardDrive | the bottom line is ntfs and HFS+ dont have full support | 14:36 |
| HardDrive | thanks for the info | 14:36 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: correct | 14:36 |
| comawhite_ | HardDrive: yeah the only way to fix it is with Windows crappy OS, too many hard reboots and it just fails | 14:36 |
| lwb | anyone? | 14:36 |
| pasjr | trijntje, first look in media, do you have the pule device manger? or look in syn manager in the installed list | 14:36 |
| Segaja | ikonia: do you know where i can find a .deb file of grip? or do you know an other tool with the same features as grip? | 14:36 |
| lstarnes | HardDrive: ntfs-3g's support for ntfs is very good | 14:36 |
| HardDrive | can windows read linux filesystems? | 14:36 |
| ikonia | Segaja: no | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Segaja: trh the getdeb or ppa repos | 14:36 |
| lstarnes | HardDrive: no | 14:36 |
| comawhite_ | HardDrive: not native | 14:36 |
| grawity | HardDrive: Almost. | 14:36 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: not very stable - but yes ext3 is supported | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !ext3 | HardDrive | 14:36 |
| ubottu | HardDrive: ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 14:36 |
| ikonia | HardDrive: you need 3rd party tools | 14:37 |
| blinkiz | Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. | 14:37 |
| Segaja | Dr_Willis: getdeb.net seems to be down | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Segaja: i dident do it... | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ;P | 14:37 |
| comawhite_ | why does Ubuntu use ext4 its tons better than ext3 | 14:37 |
| gdb | HardDrive: Yes, and the free alternatives, ext4, jfs, xfs, et al, are just as if not moreso. I'd suggest giving ext3 a spin and see how it works for you. :-) I'm not aware of the support status of ext4 in Ubuntu. (I just come here to help out, my main Linux is Debian). | 14:37 |
| comawhite_ | doesn't* | 14:37 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: I did use that ubuntu (hardy) EC2 AMI: http://alestic.com/; I don't think they re-compiled libc neither | 14:37 |
| ikonia | comawhite_: it does | 14:37 |
| grawity | comawhite_: But it does. | 14:37 |
| HardDrive | k thanks | 14:37 |
| Segaja | Dr_Willis: i didn't say you did :) | 14:37 |
| Quan-Time | anyone here got kismet experience ? (wifi scanning tool) | 14:37 |
| subitoo | HardDrive: ext3 but not ext4 i think | 14:37 |
| HardDrive | i will soon be installing ubuntu on my main partition instead of having it in virtualbox | 14:37 |
| comawhite_ | gdb ext4 > ext3 | 14:37 |
| subichan | oh | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | ext4 is like 33% Better then ext3 :) | 14:38 |
| pasjr | vituralbox how retro | 14:38 |
| gdb | comawhite_: It's not generally reocommended to use ext4 in production as it's still under (reasonably) heavy development. Fedora has made the transition but they tend to be the most technically cutting edge distribution, the early adopters. | 14:38 |
| comawhite_ | :P | 14:38 |
| subichan | has the address of repositories changed form 7.10 to today? | 14:38 |
| HardDrive | !exfat | 14:38 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: I don't know for certain but you're pointing at a PPA - that PPA could include incompatible libc pacakges in it | 14:38 |
| grawity | pasjr: huh? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | !oldrelease > subichan | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip1 | comawhite_: its default in karmic and lucid | 14:38 |
| ikonia | subichan: changed a long time ago when 7.10 was made eol | 14:38 |
| lstarnes | subichan: some mirrors may have been added or removed | 14:38 |
| pasjr | nothing | 14:38 |
| mke` | anyone knows if it's possible to emulate the mouse using my keyboard ? (using fluxbox on Lenny) | 14:38 |
| comawhite_ | gdb: I thought Ubuntu was earlier like Fedora | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | subichan: once the release gets so old. i THink the repos get moved to some 'archive.ubuntu.com' or similery named server | 14:38 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: PPA? | 14:38 |
| lstarnes | subichan: but 7.10 itself is no longer in the main repos | 14:39 |
| thiebaude | i have never had problems with ext4 | 14:39 |
| comawhite_ | same | 14:39 |
| ikonia | !PPA > fgiasson | 14:39 |
| ubottu | fgiasson, please see my private message | 14:39 |
| lstarnes | !eol | subichan | 14:39 |
| ubottu | subichan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | mke`: ive seen it done befor.. but not sure if it was a wm feature or X feature | 14:39 |
| trijntje | pasjr, I dont know what to look for, can you be more specific? | 14:39 |
| subichan | oh but then how can i download something for it? | 14:39 |
| fgiasson | ok thanks | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | subichan: change your sources.list | 14:39 |
| lstarnes | subichan: use the old-releases.ubuntu.com mirror | 14:39 |
| mke` | thx anyway dr_willis ;) | 14:39 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: thanks for these explanations, I will poke around to see if I couldn't find the issue with this PPA | 14:40 |
| subichan | lstarnes: i should put that in the repositories section? | 14:40 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: may I make a suggestion | 14:40 |
| pasjr | I have since remove 9.10 from my system, it to gave me a problem but with wireless. I have forgot the location excatly with out looking at it I am sorry | 14:41 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: sure, go ahead | 14:41 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: update to ubuntus' latest updates before adding alestic repos | 14:41 |
| lstarnes | subichan: you should use that for all of the main ubuntu repos | 14:41 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: see if that causes you any problems | 14:41 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: then add the alestic repo and update and see if that's the breaker | 14:41 |
| AmokPaule | Hello, someone knows some open source alternative to flash? At best in ubuntu packet list? | 14:41 |
| ActionParsnip1 | AmokPaule: gnash or swfdec | 14:41 |
| fgiasson | ikonia: ok will check tha | 14:41 |
| Dr_Willis | AmokPaule: those wont do everything the nonfree flash does | 14:41 |
| gdb | AmokPaule: The main one I'm aware of.. are the ones ActionParsnip1 just said. lol | 14:41 |
| mke` | so how could I test if my (serial) mouse isn't dead ? can't move it in X.. | 14:41 |
| ikonia | fgiasson: worth looking | 14:41 |
| * gdb is too slow at the kbd this morning! | 14:42 | |
| AmokPaule | Ty you all :) | 14:42 |
| subichan | lstarnes: the problem is i don't know where i should write the new server | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | mke`: you could go to the console and try 'sudo cat /dev/psaux' or /dev/mouse and move the thing around. | 14:42 |
| pasjr | I will run a 9.10 live cd later today and pull the steps for you, I will post them at http://www.Micro2GB.com | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip1 | mke`: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 14:42 |
| lstarnes | subichan: in /etc/apt/sources.list, replace all instances of the old server with old-releases.ubuntu.com | 14:42 |
| mke` | thanks .. will check it out | 14:42 |
| subichan | lstarnes: thanks | 14:43 |
| nastas | hi all | 14:43 |
| gdiz | has anyone ever messed with setting up a nfs share on ubuntu...I'm kind of curious what people thought vs. smb and if it is better, how to set it up | 14:43 |
| pasjr | Must step out for a smoke, see all later:) | 14:44 |
| Dr_Willis | gdiz: for linux to linix nfs can worn muich bnetter | 14:44 |
| gdb | gdiz: I'd say it depends on your client. What OS is your client using? | 14:44 |
| tjibbaNL | can someone help me with the gnome delays bug | 14:44 |
| tjibbaNL | have to wait 2 minutes before gnome is completely loaded | 14:44 |
| gdiz | my client is running os x 10.6 | 14:45 |

| blinkiz | Hi. Am looking for a guide how to install my desktop karmic so it authenticates against my ldap server. Searching google and I get a bunch of tutorials explaining how to change things in system files. Am sure it exist easier ways in karmic. To start with, the package ldap-auth-client. | 14:45 |

| Vultusaur | ok | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. with weechat and screen those utf-8 characters aint shoding up right.. | 14:47 |
| gdb | gdiz: It does, and you can try connecting to an NFS share with command-k (Connect to Server) but I've found Samba to be more than adequate. Mac OS X integrates into Windows networks just fine. I've not used it as an NFS client but I also feel that Samba (for what I suspect you want to do) works out of the box with less configuration on the Ubuntu side. | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder if OS-X is using samba, or if they did their own. | 14:48 |
| === rodri is now known as Rodri | ||

| erUSUL | Dr_Willis: OS X uses samba cups and all that stuff | 14:49 |

| Dr_Willis | erUSUL: last i saw apple was sort of claming it 'invented' cups at some of the web sites. :) sort of missinformation... | 14:50 |
| erUSUL | gdb: SAMBA implements CIFS unix extensions (permissions etc..) so is not a bad choice for linux to linux anymore. or so i heard | 14:50 |

| sandman | Is it possible to easily upgrade to new versions of Ubuntu using aptitude dist-upgrade? | 14:52 |
| gdb | erUSUL: That very well could be. The end result I was looking for on OSX was to have a shared network drive on the desktop. I'm not sure using OSX as an NFS client will provide that (I think it will work like NFS on any other Unix). I can't see it being a bad option for Linux -> Linux. It's pretty seamless on OSX when under /Volumes. | 14:52 |

| saftsack_ | lstarnes, the ips drivers in the kernel seems to be broken or something in later kernel versions. so my serveraid-7k is not detected properly | 15:10 |

| LewisDre4m | lstarnes: So just to confirm in Networks / windows network there is two folder one called "WORKSNET" which is my network and has windows pc;s in but a folder called WORKSGROUP which has my linux pc in. Now what captin!? | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixzorn: if you run: uname -r do you see: 2.6.31-11-generic | 15:11 |
| JustMozzy | grawity: telnet to the IP with port 25 gives me "no route to host" (and that's actually what I find in the logs too) | 15:11 |
| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: you have to edit the workgroup used by samba in /etc/samba/smb.conf, then reload or restart samba | 15:11 |
| achadwick | JustMozzy: well, since this is a general Ubuntu support channel and you're asking specific questions about postfix, a big'n'complex piece of software, you might want to try the postfix mailing lists or forums (if they have them) | 15:11 |

| JustMozzy | grawity: makes sense lol | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: thats the default workgroup for the linux box. | 15:15 |

| gui7 | the option is greyed out and the forums havent helped | 15:17 |
| LewisDre4m | grawity: ok thank you, i'm very new to this so confused. Let me go through and find the CFG file. | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | gui7: you can set gdm to auto login as a specific user | 15:17 |
| gui7 | Dr_Willis, how? | 15:17 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: you may want to read up on samba also | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | gui7: its a setting right there in the 'login manager' tool | 15:18 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: Eh, it's smb.conf actually, sorry. It is in /etc/samba/ | 15:18 |
| LewisDre4m | I have done. I don;'t want to read anything. I just want this to work and never touch the bloody thing again. | 15:18 |
| phoenixzorn | ActionParsnip, it says - in the blacklist-ath_pci.conf - that "For some atheros 5k RF MACs, the madwifi driver loads but fails to correctly initialize the hardware, leaving it in a state from which ath5k cannot recover. To prevent this condition, stop madwifi from loading by default. use Jockey to select one driver or the other. (Ubuntu: #315056, #323830)" | 15:18 |
| achadwick | surf: if you have a runaway udevd, it should log there and be continually spitting out lines about stuff. | 15:18 |
| Bear10 | what type of file do i make in order for a set of commands to run? | 15:18 |
| LewisDre4m | grawity: let me have a look | 15:18 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: setting the workgroup is like one of the first lines of the config file. and you may need to restart samba service after changeing it | 15:19 |
| achadwick | Bear10: an executable text file. Use gedit, gvim, or any other text editor. | 15:19 |

| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: I'm in samba. now what? | 15:19 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: with samba it pays big time to read up on what it can do. | 15:19 |
| surf | achadwick, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d16e42ec6 | 15:19 |
| ActionParsnip | phoenixzorn: there will be lines below that detailing blacklisted modules, blacklist all except ath5k | 15:19 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: read the config file and look for the workgroup setting... apply what we have been saying | 15:19 |
| Bear10 | achadwick, thanks | 15:19 |
| phoenixzorn | the only thing in the list is blacklist ath_pci | 15:19 |
| vonadhz | Hey | 15:19 |
| achadwick | surf: bother. Nothing abut udev in there. | 15:19 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: There is about 7500 lines of writting in there what exactly am I looking for? | 15:20 |
| surf | achadwick, ok so? The udevd --daemon is 100% cpu | 15:20 |
| * om26er wonders which version of ubuntu phoenixzorn is using | 15:20 | |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: setting the workgroup is like one of the first lines of the config file. and you may need to restart samba service after changeing it | 15:20 |
| gui7 | Dr_Willis, do you mean the "login screen" or the "users settings"? | 15:20 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: search for the words 'workgroup' perhaps | 15:20 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: Hey i have a question, I got the boot screen for grub to work but how can I make it last longer? | 15:20 |

| gui7 | i can't seem to fidn that gdm option | 15:21 |
| vonadhz | Dr_Willis: so is it possible to have it last longer than a split second? | 15:21 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: "dude" With all the respect in the world I have no idea what on earth you are talking about and what a "setting" in a line of code looks like. | 15:21 |

| LewisDre4m | Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of | 15:23 |
| LewisDre4m | workgroup = WORKGROUP | 15:23 |
| * Dr_Willis notices all hes doing is reading the docs/config coments to people | 15:23 | |
| achadwick | surf: "ps axu | grep udevd", get the Process ID, then if you have 513 say, "sudo strace -p 513". Ctrl-C to stop strace. | 15:23 |
| ChogyDan | phoenixzorn: I used to use the kernel at http://array.org/ubuntu/ | 15:23 |
| LewisDre4m | workgroup = WORKSNET? | 15:23 |

| rods | howdy! Got an interesting problem. Anytime I change my monitor resolution, my internet drops away (daemon dies?). Any ideas? | 15:23 |
| achadwick | surf: alternatively, paste the PID that's at the top of, er, "top" | 15:23 |

| surf | achadwick, I have strace -p 491 running | 15:25 |

| MarderIII | rods: in that case... not a clue. What does the log show? | 15:27 |
| LewisDre4m | grawity: do you know how to get me into that file as root? I don't think dr_wilis knows? | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: sudo vi /path/to/fileto/edit/as/root | 15:27 |
| rods | MarderIII: how do I check the log? (still a newb--sorry :-/) | 15:27 |
| LewisDre4m | I type that into terminal? | 15:27 |
| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: alt+f2 then gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: You should really read a few of theese linux tutorials that are out there. theres dozens of ways to edit a fuile as root. | 15:27 |
| LewisDre4m | lstarnes: LEgend thats what i'm after! | 15:27 |
| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: vi is a rather tricky editior for new users | 15:27 |
| surf | achadwick, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m214ec877 kinda mad | 15:27 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: You know the editor's name. Dr_Willis pointed you at the command needed to run it as root. | 15:28 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: So... | 15:28 |
| MarderIII | rods: (top of my head) /var/log/syslog file, check it with an editor /viewer | 15:28 |
| rods | MarderIII will do | 15:28 |
| LewisDre4m | grawity: I'm just copying lstarness command thing to get me in there | 15:29 |
| MarderIII | rods: check messages file to | 15:29 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: Someday you will need to do things yourself. | 15:29 |
| MarderIII | rods: to -> too | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | it pays to 'learn what you are doing' not just 'do whatever someone says' | 15:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | hi anyone can teach me how to search a word in a list of text file ? | 15:29 |
| LewisDre4m | I am? All I asked is how the truck I run a file as root? | 15:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | thank you | 15:29 |
| grawity | ubuntunewbie: 'grep' | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunewbie: use the grep command. | 15:30 |
| dnivra_ | ubuntunewbie: grep is what you need | 15:30 |
| om26er | ubuntunewbie, ctrl+f | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !info grep | 15:30 |
| ubottu | grep (source: grep): GNU grep, egrep and fgrep. In component main, is required. Version 2.5.4-4 (karmic), package size 218 kB, installed size 1164 kB | 15:30 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: And Dr_Willis told you, 'sudo' and 'gksu'. | 15:30 |
| ubuntunewbie | grep ? ok let me google | 15:30 |
| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: it still helps to learn exactly what each component of a command does | 15:30 |

| rods | MarderIII segfault? | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !info color-grep | 15:30 |
| ubottu | Package color-grep does not exist in karmic | 15:30 |
| om26er | ohh] | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm... | 15:30 |
| rods | MarderIII I see some segfault errors | 15:30 |
| achadwick | surf: ugh, unreadable. Um, perhaps the output of "udevadm monitor" would be better... | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | My grep is in color. :) | 15:30 |
| grawity | Dr_Willis: GNU grep already has colours | 15:30 |
| MarderIII | rods: eeep.. means either faulty program or incorrect library | 15:31 |
| LewisDre4m | I agree and maybe once I can actually do basic fudging things like see a computer on a network i'll sit down and learn, however at the moment i'm still 50 / 50 whether I should go back to windows. | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | grawity: now thats progress! | 15:31 |
| surf | achadwick, lol | 15:31 |
| * achadwick really shouldv'e remembered that. | 15:31 | |
| LewisDre4m | right I have put in the thing gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf and changed WORKSGROUP to WORKSNET | 15:31 |
| rods | MarderIII know any good tricks to fix? This has been an issue for awhile (internet drops out in screen resolution change) | 15:31 |
| gui7 | i think i may have solved my problem: http://www.danellis.co.uk/drupal/node/7 | 15:31 |

| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: open a terminal first | 15:32 |
| LewisDre4m | ok | 15:32 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: Run the command "/etc/init.d/samba restart" as root [using sudo]. | 15:32 |

| MarderIII | rods: could be there are some missing libraries, but i don't know how you can check that easily. | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | actually samba MIGHT restart when it says its config changed.. i forget if it does or not | 15:32 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: I typed suda service samba restart anything happend. | 15:32 |
| bobibobi | The wired card is Attansic L1 Gigabit, pciid 1969:1062 | 15:32 |

| Dr_Willis | * Starting Samba daemons [ OK ] | 15:33 |
| grawity | dondino_: Then why don't you just ask your question. | 15:33 |
| achadwick | surf: or use "udevadm monitor --property" for more info about what hardware's triggering the events | 15:33 |
| surf | achadwick, before when I did ctrl-z to strace -p 491 did I kill the process or only the strace? Because now in top the process has disappeared | 15:33 |
| dondino_ | yes, please hold on.. as I write everything | 15:33 |
| MarderIII | rods: only way i know is to check it manually with ld. Question : which program segfaults? | 15:33 |
| achadwick | surf: ctrl-z backgrounds. Use ctrl-c ideally. | 15:33 |
| LewisDre4m | btw while on subject where is a good page to learn what sudo and gkget all that crap means? | 15:34 |
| achadwick | surf: but either one will onyl affect strace. | 15:34 |
| === force is now known as ckozler | ||
| lstarnes | !sudo | LewisDre4m | 15:34 |
| LewisDre4m | is there a wiki page with the commands so I know what they all mean | 15:34 |
| ubottu | LewisDre4m: 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) | 15:34 |
| surf | achadwick, yeah sorry it was ctrl-c. Ok. But now the daemon is not present in top. The cpu is normally going 1/2% | 15:34 |
| rods | MarderIII I get the following: npviewer.bin[3883]: segfault at ff999ed8 ip 00000000ff999ed8 sp 00000000ff85b24c error 14 | 15:35 |

| surf | achadwick, also yesterday, to say the truth, I had /usr/bin/x running 100% cpu | 15:35 |
| nostram^ | does anyone know how to install kernel drivers inside a Live distribution (in casper kernel) | 15:35 |
| LewisDre4m | Anyway . . . So It said it stopped the service and then Restarted the service. And now? | 15:35 |
| LewisDre4m | Is that finished? | 15:35 |
| surf | achadwick, I restarted it and it worked... but why? | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: should be.. | 15:35 |
| ubuntunewbie | sorry , I still dont know how to use "grep" searching words | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: windows can sometimes be stupid and not see the workgroup changes for some time | 15:35 |
| dnivra_ | ubuntunewbie: check man pages. man grep. | 15:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunewbie: grep pattern file | 15:36 |
| lstarnes | ubuntunewbie: grep "text to find" file-to-search | 15:36 |
| achadwick | surf: the x thing might be itself triggered by a berserk udev. But not sure there. | 15:36 |
| dondino_ | I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 for the first time today. I played with it some time.. then I said.. its not the one I want. Some people suggested me to pass to Kubuntu, and see if KDE fits better for me.. and they made me issue a command from the console : "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop". I issued that command from the 9.10 consolle, and it started to download packages, and then install..all in console. At one point it stopped | 15:36 |
| trism | ubuntunewbie: or to search a directory, grep -nHR "words to search for" directory_name | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | dondino_: ok; and the question is? | 15:36 |
| ubuntunewbie | lstarnes : ? grep "text to find" "location" ? I though it can seach all text file on a location folder | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | dondino_: when it gets done.. on the LIOGIN screen theres a menu to select KDE | 15:36 |
| dondino_ | the question is.. why this kubuntu is not working? it opens only the terminal window | 15:36 |
| dondino_ | where are the menus? the taskbar? etc? | 15:37 |
| ubuntunewbie | thanks trism , tying now | 15:37 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: Ok, I still have two "What I was calling Folders" In NETWORKS / ONE CALLED WORKSGROUP and ONE CALL WORKSNET. But now my computer isn't in WORKSGROUP . . but it isnt in worksnet either lol is that wrong>? or ok? | 15:37 |
| MarderIII | rods: never heard of it. I think that program _voilently_ objects to screen changes :-) I would look into it if it can be uninstalled, or otherwise start ubuntu in the correct screen size | 15:37 |
| albertxiaoyu | Does anyone know how to configure gopenvpn? | 15:37 |
| achadwick | udev responds to changes in hardware configuration, and is supposed to be quiet almost all of the time. By I've seen samba trigger spurious events in it in the past... | 15:37 |
| nostram^ | ubuntunewbie: grep Hi *.* | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | ubuntunewbie: bash basics.. learn to use wildcards... grep patterh /path/* | 15:37 |
| surf | achadwick, ah how can I monitor these things? My cpu is claiming for peace! =D | 15:37 |
| albertxiaoyu | I want a help. | 15:37 |
| achadwick | surf: *But. and yes, it was intermittent (-> annoying to fix, never happening when you want to fix it) | 15:37 |
| grawity | nostram^: That won't match files without extensions. | 15:37 |
| grawity | LewisDre4m: Did you logout and login, as I've told you to? | 15:38 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: windowes can get confused when new machines appar on the network. it may take it a few min to show up. Hit F5 a few times or tell it to brows all the machines/workgroups | 15:38 |
| nostram^ | yep, lame answer, sorry :-/ | 15:38 |
| surf | achadwick, haha lol yeah it is. I'll leave htop opened to see what happens | 15:38 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: You must have misunderstood, when I say what I did I mean thats what I see on my ubuntu machine. I havent even looked on it xp machine yet. | 15:38 |
| achadwick | surf: you could install a cpu usage grapher in your panel :/ | 15:38 |
| achadwick | surf: or keep a top running. Good luck. | 15:38 |
| surf | achadwick, I have the monitor manager | 15:39 |
| rob_p | albertxiaoyu: OpenVPN has many configuration options. How you configure it will depend on what your requirements are. Have you been to: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html | 15:39 |
| surf | achadwick, thx for the moment. | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: check with the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' to see what machines are on the network now. | 15:39 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: i rareluy cahnge workgroups. so not sure what else is needed to make them refresh | 15:39 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: Should I see "LEWISDRE4m" computer inside the WORKSNET folder inside NETWORKS? ON UBUNTU! ignore xp atm. | 15:39 |
| Lartza_ | Hi, I am looking for easy distro to install on a Asus Eee PC 4G | 15:39 |
| === jnykiel is now known as Guest94139 | ||
| Lartza_ | That is with Intel Mobile processor | 15:39 |
| Lartza_ | I am an advanced user myself, but the PC will be for not so techy person. | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: you should see the local machines shares - on the local machine yes.. it might not bother to show the workgroup name. | 15:40 |
| === cp is now known as Guest85839 | ||
| Lartza_ | Now, Ubuntu Netbook Remix tells it is for the Atom processor EeePc's | 15:40 |
| Lartza_ | So? | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Lartza_: yes - most netbook remix's are for atom cpus | 15:40 |
| ikonia | Lartza_: if you're an advanced user it should be no problem to do your research on distros | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Lartza_: most normal disrtos work fine on them also | 15:41 |
| achadwick | Hmm. Is that still true? ISTR netbook-remix stuff was only CPU-specific very early on | 15:41 |
| Lartza_ | ikonia: We'll, most of the distros are for Atom's like Willis said or they are outdated. | 15:41 |
| achadwick | But I may well be wrong here. | 15:41 |
| nostram^ | anyone knows how to install drivers in a Live ubuntu kernel? | 15:41 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Willis: You are not understanding my question at all. hmmm Ok, On Ubuntu machine I navigate to NETWORKS / WINDOWS NETWORKS / AND THEN I HAVE "WORKSGROUP" and "WORKSNET" Neither of which currently have my UBUNTU MACHINE LEWISDRe4m showing in either, does that matter? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | Lartza_: so as an advanved user it should be easy ro do research | 15:41 |
| Lartza_ | Netbook Remix should run on this too, but how well? | 15:42 |
| ikonia | nostram^: they are normally modules that you drop into the kernel's modules directory | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: i would think you sould see the pc there somewhere.. You do actually have some 'shares' setup? see if the xp box now sees them | 15:42 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: i imagine if you loggedout/rebooted the 'workgroup' would vanish and just show worksnet | 15:43 |
| nostram^ | not exactly, ikonia, as live distributions are "prepared" and does not seem to be configurable so easily | 15:43 |
| ikonia | nostram^: ahhh this is for a livecd | 15:43 |
| Dr_Willis | nostram^: depends on what you are isntalling. Ive instaleld things on a live cd. it uses the ramdisk | 15:43 |
| nostram^ | it's a pendrive live, indeed | 15:43 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_wilis you still dont understand what im asking rofl I must be not making sense. Dude I can see my WINDOWS XP MACHINE inside the "WORKSNET thing" What Im saying is should I not be able to see a little icon of THIS COMPUTER im using now inside one of those? | 15:43 |
| ikonia | nostram^: ok - then you'll need to uncompress the sqaushfs file systems, add the mofules and recompress | 15:43 |
| nostram^ | yeah, but i want to install nvidia custom driver and a couple of drivers more | 15:43 |
| s0u][ight | hello, can someone take a look at this http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot-1.1261496316.png and tell me why the alt+f2 pop-up screen shows the brasero image in stead of the nautilus one? | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | LewisDre4m: just reboot the thing and see if it shows up then. and YOU do actually have a share enabled to be appearing in the list? | 15:44 |
| LewisDre4m | right im rebooting brb | 15:44 |
| LewisDre4m | sorry man I know Im a pain in the rectum. | 15:44 |
| nostram^ | is there any way to boot from the Live pendrive and save eveything up? | 15:44 |
| ikonia | nostram^: no | 15:44 |
| nostram^ | i mean, install the drivers in the ramdisk | 15:44 |
| s0u][ight | nostram^, casper-rw file :) | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | nostram^: You can make a save file on the pendrive. and save changes | 15:44 |
| ikonia | nostram^: you need to uncompress - add - recompress | 15:44 |
| nostram^ | casper-rw file just saves settings and stuff like that | 15:45 |
| nostram^ | not kernel options | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | You can edit the boot menu on the pendrive nostram^ | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | and change options | 15:45 |
| nostram^ | ikonia, i've tried to do that, but kernel does not seem to load that drivers | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | bbl | 15:45 |
| Vst6gQ | hola | 15:46 |
| ikonia | nostram^: it should do, try putting the modules in on the livecd and doing a modprobe | 15:46 |
| nostram^ | you mean setting a modprobe inside /etc/rc.local? | 15:46 |
| coderman | @majecki-new | 15:46 |
| nostram^ | so it will load at every boot-up? | 15:47 |
| jas72 | I wanted to dual boot ubuntu and mandriva but grub2 would not boot my mandriva partition any advice I would be grateful full. | 15:47 |
| ikonia | nostram^:, no I mean type modprobe to test the module will load | 15:47 |
| nostram^ | aha | 15:48 |
| nostram^ | i did not tried that | 15:48 |
| insane | hi everyone | 15:48 |
| kinja-sheep | hi insane | 15:48 |
| nostram^ | and there's no need to rebuild the modules tree? | 15:48 |
| surf | achadwick, hi again. I had a kernel panic. I had to reboot. | 15:48 |
| insane | i'll check somethin' i wanna extract instrumental from a song; how can i do this ? | 15:49 |
| sandman | Can someone help me configure GRUB to boot off an ISO image? | 15:49 |
| kinja-sheep | sandman: GRUB can't do that. GRUB2 can. Are you using GRUB2? | 15:49 |
| sandman | Yes | 15:49 |
| ikonia | insane: you can't do that you need multi-tracked audio format files for that | 15:50 |
| coderman | @majecki-new | 15:50 |
| phoenixzorn | back to work on the android kernel... yay | 15:50 |
| insane | from mp3 files i can't do that ? | 15:50 |
| kinja-sheep | sandman: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB | 15:50 |
| ikonia | insane: no, that's compressed audio | 15:50 |
| insane | so how can i do | 15:50 |
| insane | ? | 15:50 |
| ikonia | insane: I've just told you - you need the multi-track audio files to disable the vocal tracks | 15:51 |
| LewisDre4m | i'm back | 15:51 |
| gdiz | someone told me how to do samba printing by editing the cups.conf file, but I have since forgotten. Does anyone know how to do that? | 15:51 |
| insane | sorry ok | 15:51 |
| LewisDre4m | so now If I am to go right click on a folder inside my HOME folder, technically it should show on windows machine? | 15:51 |
| mmarc__1 | hi, could you please help me to disable sleep action on led close | 15:52 |
| LewisDre4m | Dr_Wilis I mean right click on a folder and share it i should see it from windows machine? | 15:52 |
| mmarc__1 | I thought I've disabled it by switching of led action in /etc/acpi and replacing led.sh script, but it is still working. Ughr! | 15:52 |
| OerHeks | gdiz open browser > localhost:631 | 15:52 |
| LewisDre4m | lstarnes: they have both gone! | 15:52 |
| insane | some programs can do that ? | 15:53 |
| LewisDre4m | lstarnes: If I go right click on a folder and share it I should see it show up on windows machine? | 15:53 |
| rods | MarderIII: you still here? | 15:53 |
| ikonia | insane: some programs do what ? | 15:53 |
| lstarnes | LewisDre4m: I'm not sure. I don't use windows-like sharing very often | 15:53 |
| ferda | Mmarc__1: it can be set simply in gui. | 15:53 |
| rods | MarderIII I have a pastebin for the issue as it showed up in the logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/344785/ | 15:53 |
| insane | ... to get multi-track audio files | 15:53 |
| gdiz | OerHeks, yeah I changed all the settings on the CUPS administration page, but I still can't access the printer for samba printing | 15:53 |
| LewisDre4m | ok well i'll go see. | 15:53 |
| ikonia | insane: no | 15:53 |
| insane | :( | 15:53 |
| LewisDre4m | Anyway my Ubuntu machine icon is now not in "worksgroup" but not in WORKSNET either lol | 15:54 |
| LewisDre4m | so who knows .. . I will go see if it worked anyway | 15:54 |
| mmarc__1 | ops, lid, not led | 15:54 |
| mmarc__1 | I'm trying to switch off sleeping action when lid closes | 15:54 |
| friendishan | any good video editor? | 15:56 |
| friendishan | like windows media player? | 15:56 |
| surf | wmp is not an editor | 15:57 |
| om26er | friendishan, does windows media player edit videos | 15:57 |
| om26er | omg! | 15:57 |
| friendishan | om26er idk | 15:57 |
| om26er | friendishan, so why ask? | 15:57 |
| surf | friendishan, do you want to play videos or edit? | 15:57 |
| Pip | how to change root's password ? | 15:57 |
| friendishan | i want to double the speed of frames and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) | 15:58 |
| kinja-sheep | If it is an editor, it would say Windows Media Editor. | 15:58 |
| Pip | I have just installed ubuntu, want to change the root's password | 15:58 |
| ikonia | Pip: use sudo to do root functions | 15:58 |
| ikonia | !sudo | Pip | 15:58 |
| ubottu | Pip: 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) | 15:58 |
| insane | i have another issue sound comes frome speakers and headphones at the same time | 15:58 |
| friendishan | surf i want to double the speed of frames of the video and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) | 15:58 |
| om26er | Pip, administration>>users and groups | 15:58 |
| insane | i can't fix it ! | 15:58 |
| friendishan | surf format will be flv and jpeg respectively | 15:59 |
| insane | with kmix i can mute headphones that's all | 15:59 |
| mmarc__1 | cmon, guys, what's the trick? This option was implemented on all distros I've seen: I don't want to do ANYTHING, then netbook lid closes. How to do that in ubuntu? Manual editing /etc/acpi does not help. | 15:59 |
| surf | friendishan, so you need to edit it. Let's see... I used Kino and cinelerra to edit videos | 15:59 |
| todd1 | I have a nfs-common error -- what do I do? | 15:59 |
| friendishan | do they allow to add a image in between the video? | 16:00 |
| insane | please help ! | 16:00 |
| mmarc__1 | Power management preferences also has no such option. | 16:00 |
| om26er | !help | insane | 16:00 |
| Hyppy | toddl: what is the error? | 16:00 |
| ubottu | insane: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 16:00 |
| friendishan | om26er he already asked | 16:00 |
| om26er | friendishan, so. | 16:00 |
| todd1 | when I add/remove programs or update I get a nfs-common error | 16:00 |
| rods | Howdy all! My nm-applet keeps disapears (and disconnecting--probably closing) anytime I resize my display. Any idea what could be causing this? | 16:00 |
| friendishan | !investigate > om26er | 16:01 |
| ubottu | om26er, please see my private message | 16:01 |
| WinterWeaver | how do I add a ppa (ie. ppa:gnome-zeitgeist/ppa) to my sources via terminal? | 16:01 |
| friendishan | epinky | 16:01 |
| mmarc__1 | THANK YOU for so many responces for question about lid! | 16:01 |
| om26er | friendishan, great what you want? | 16:01 |
| Hyppy | toddl: can you paste the error? | 16:01 |
| friendishan | surf u der? | 16:01 |
| surf | friendishan, yes | 16:01 |
| friendishan | surf do they allow to add a image in between the video? | 16:01 |
| kinja-sheep | WinterWeaver: Karmic? | 16:02 |
| todd1 | Errors were encountered while processing: | 16:02 |
| todd1 | nfs-common | 16:02 |
| todd1 | nfs-kernel-server | 16:02 |
| WinterWeaver | kinja-sheep, yup | 16:02 |
| surf | friendishan, could be. They're video editors | 16:02 |
| om26er | WinterWeaver, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-zeitgeist/ppa && sudo apt-get update | 16:02 |
| kinja-sheep | WinterWeaver: What om26er said. | 16:02 |
| friendishan | i want to double the speed of frames of the video and add an image in the middle of the video (image stays for 5 seonds) | 16:02 |
| WinterWeaver | thanks om26er kinja-sheep | 16:02 |
| om26er | WinterWeaver, np :) | 16:03 |
| Hyppy | toddl: do you have extra PPAs assigned besides the stock ubuntu ones? | 16:03 |
| surf | friendishan, if you're used to wm maker then try KdenLive which is similar (when you run that disable compiz) | 16:03 |
| WinterWeaver | om26er, kinja-sheep, it added the ppa etc. just too bad I'm getting a 404 on it :( ... wonder why | 16:04 |
| friendishan | surf ok but how do i disable compiz? | 16:04 |
| * om26er dont know | 16:04 | |
| todd1 | what is a PPA? | 16:04 |
| kinja-sheep | WinterWeaver: I don't see any karmic packages for Gnome Zeitgeist | 16:04 |
| erUSUL | friendishan: System>Pereferences>appearance|| Effects tab | 16:04 |
| om26er | !ppa todd1 | 16:04 |
| trinium | hello | 16:04 |
| kinja-sheep | !ppa | todd1 | 16:04 |
| ubottu | todd1: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 16:04 |
| surf | friendishan, go to system --> preferences --> look --> visual effects and select none | 16:05 |
| BlouBlou | trinium: Hi | 16:05 |
| trinium | how to create program by database | 16:05 |
| Hyppy | toddl: If you don't know, you probably don't. There should be extra errors further up in the output... can you see anything else that mentions nfs-common? | 16:05 |
| maco | friendishan: its "appearance" not "look" | 16:05 |
| friendishan | surf it was already none :P | 16:05 |
| WinterWeaver | kinja-sheep, hmm... ok I guess I'll just have to download it manually to play with zeitgeist | 16:05 |
| === force is now known as esx | ||
| WinterWeaver | thx anyway | 16:05 |
| friendishan | maco ok | 16:05 |
| surf | friendishan, ok so compiz should be off. Try the program though | 16:05 |
| AlienDK | Yesterday, I installed Xfce with some fancy terminal stuff. Now Ubuntu says I'm running Xubuntu and I don't like Xfce that much so I would like to remove Xfce from my Ubuntu install so it uses GNOME as default GUI again. | 16:06 |
| friendishan | surf thanks | 16:06 |
| AlienDK | Anyone knows what to do? | 16:06 |
| AlienDK | :( | 16:06 |
| surf | friendishan, np. Hope it will work gl | 16:06 |
| om26er | !puregnome | AlienDK | 16:06 |
| ubottu | AlienDK: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get remove kdelibs4c2 kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 16:06 |
| friendishan | i will be back after trying it :) | 16:06 |
| trinium | recomend use mssql or mysql, program of the inventory | 16:06 |
| aeon-ltd | AlienDK: just go to synaptics if you have it and uninstall from there | 16:06 |
| AlienDK | Not KDE | 16:06 |
| AlienDK | XFCE :( | 16:06 |
| todd1 | This is the text above the error (when I installed openoffice data program)... | 16:06 |

| om26er | AlienDK, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 16:07 |

| trinium | please, i request a idea about program of inventory, | 16:08 |
| DarkHelmut | Hola everyone | 16:08 |
| mmarc__1 | OK, I'm ignored here, anyway, maybe someone can hear me: forcing users to undertake blank screen, shut down or suspend action on lid close is not a good idea. Be flexible, Ubuntu, and keep free from stupid assumptions, or you will soon become Windows. | 16:08 |
| AlienDK | om26er | 16:08 |
| AlienDK | Thanks for the link | 16:08 |
| AlienDK | Will try that remove command | 16:08 |
| Hyppy | toddl: it can't install because your passwd file is locked. Unless you want to try and investigate, rebooting should clear it up. | 16:08 |
| maco | mmarc__1: what is wrong with "blank screen"? | 16:08 |
| aeon-ltd | AlienDK: synaptics isn't a qt app so i don't get what you mean | 16:08 |
| maco | mmarc__1: you cant see the screen when it's closed anyway | 16:08 |
| DarkHelmut | mmarc_1: you can set it to "do nothing on lid close" | 16:09 |
| kinja-sheep | maco +1 | 16:09 |
| terror__ | heh | 16:09 |
| aeon-ltd | AlienDK: sorry message mistake | 16:09 |
| todd1 | I will look into the passwd file. Is that something to do with the password? | 16:09 |
| maco | todd1: historically, yes | 16:09 |
| DarkHelmut | anyone know how to get it to not prompt me for the install CD when installing certain apps? I want it to just go out to the repos | 16:09 |
| AlienDK | np :P | 16:09 |
| mmarc__1 | maco: that is what I call "wrong assumptions". I plugged external monitor, and I don't want to do anything when lid closes. | 16:09 |
| harsh | hi guys.. m havin pblm wid connectin the internet wid ubuntu...sm1 help! | 16:09 |
| dKingston | question. i have a hp pavilion dv6000 here, and the wireless will not work | 16:09 |
| maco | DarkHelmut: remove the cd from system -> administration -> software sources | 16:10 |
| surf | dKingston, iwconfig? | 16:10 |
| Hyppy | toddl: reboot might fix it. It sounds like a process is running that has a lock on it. | 16:10 |
| maco | mmarc__1: ahh ok | 16:10 |
| surf | dKingston, which version installed? | 16:10 |
| kinja-sheep | mmarc__1: System --> Preferences --> Power Management. | 16:10 |
| LjL | mmarc__1: then i'd say the correct action to do in that case would be to *still* blank the internal screen, but not the external one. | 16:10 |
| todd1 | I've rebooted many times -- and continue to get this message -- although the update does take effect, I still get the error? | 16:10 |
| DarkHelmut | maco: ty! | 16:11 |
| dKingston | surf: latest | 16:11 |
| harsh | hi guys.. m havin pblm wid connectin the internet wid ubuntu...sm1 help! | 16:11 |
| Hyppy | toddl: try running: lsof | grep /etc/passwd | 16:11 |
| * terror__ yawns | 16:11 | |
| surf | dKingston, ubuntu ? | 16:11 |
| dKingston | surf: indeed | 16:12 |
| mmarc__1 | LjL: I appreciate the work done to introduce this nice options, but none of them are need in this case. When lid is closed, screen turns off itself - it's a hardware feature. | 16:12 |
| surf | dKingston, describe the problem? | 16:12 |
| todd1 | it returned "python 1952 Todd gu REG" and other stuff... do you want it all? | 16:13 |
| dKingston | gah, minute | 16:13 |
| mmarc__1 | So, please, add a "do nothing" option. | 16:13 |
| harsh | guys sm1 help | 16:13 |

| friendishan | surf how do i save the idea in flv format? | 16:27 |
| todd1 | I have a passwd.lock and a passwd- and a passwd+ (the first two have "x" on them) | 16:28 |
| todd1 | I also have a shadow.lock file too | 16:28 |
| Hyppy | toddl: if you do have the files that rob mentioned, I suggest trying to remove them all. any passwd.lock, passwd-, passwd+, or shadown.lock files shouldn't be there | 16:29 |
| rob_p | todd1: You need to remove those files. They are left behind from some process that crashed. | 16:29 |
| todd1 | remove is to "move to trash" from the file viewer -- or is there a better way? | 16:29 |
| bwallen | My computer is slow due to a lot of the processor being in the "wa" state according to top. I know that this is time waiting on the hard drive. Is there any way to speed this up. It makes opening even the smallest apps really slow. This didn't happen when I had windows on this computer. | 16:30 |
| rob_p | todd1: Only remove the ones with the .lock extension. | 16:30 |
| Jarhyn | so, is there a way to install ubuntu from an existing ubuntu installation? | 16:31 |

| Jarhyn | Q: how do I run the ubuntu installer from a full ubuntu installation, IE without booting from a live CD | 16:38 |
| lstarnes | Jarhyn: you can't | 16:38 |
| Hyppy | Jarhyn: what are you trying to accomplish by doing that? Maybe there is a different way. | 16:39 |
| bwallen | hyppy: Looks like firefox was the problem. You don't happen to know why firefox would be reading around 1000kb/sec consistently would you? | 16:39 |
| Jarhyn | here's my problem: my computer can't run a live CD from linux; the CD drive isn't supported properly. so when I try to use a live CD, it segmentation faults | 16:39 |
| Hyppy | bwallen: could have been heavy enough on memory to be swapping. Running a lot of tabs or flash video? | 16:39 |
| kinja-sheep | Jarhyn: USB Method, perhaps? | 16:40 |
| Hyppy | Jarhyn: you may be able to do a live USB pen drive | 16:40 |
| bwallen | hyppy: tabs, yes | 16:40 |
| Jarhyn | tried that; the bios doesn't support THAT properly; | 16:40 |
| Hyppy | bwallen: firefox can get bogged down when there are a massive amount of tabs and its been running for a while. 3.5 is better than 3.0, if you don't have it yet. Otherwise, I suggest closing and reopening it at least daily | 16:41 |
| Snausages | Jarhyn: what about fixing the computer and then coming back round to installing an OS? | 16:41 |
| kevin_ | as i get video dowload faster | 16:41 |

| shashike | i bought microsoft office 2003 and i am going to run it on wine, i have 64bit ubuntu 9.10, will it work?? | 16:42 |
| Jarhyn | because I had to install it on an external hard drive with WUBI | 16:42 |
| mooseburger | Anyone know how can I make brasero not use /tmp as the temporary burn location? | 16:42 |
| Jarhyn | and need to figure out how to get it on the internal partition that I wanted to put it on in the first place | 16:42 |
| === sarah is now known as Guest249 | ||
| aeon-ltd | Jarhyn: you could just 'clone' your drives then | 16:42 |
| shashike | will microsoft office 2003 work with wine?? | 16:42 |
| mka | I have a problem with my laptop. At some point all commands stop working normally and I get an error like "input/output error" | 16:43 |

| aeon-ltd | shashike: theres a software compatibility list on the internets somewhere | 16:43 |
| Snausages | Jarhyn: try clonezilla maybe? might still have the same problem getting clonezilla to boot, but if you beat that it'll move the volumes around for you | 16:44 |

| mooseburger | Anyone know how can I make brasero not use /tmp as the temporary burn location? | 16:44 |
| mka | no | 16:44 |
| mka | I can type something | 16:44 |
| aeon-ltd | mka: commands like command line? | 16:44 |
| mka | aeon-ltd, I can type some commands but they respond with an error | 16:44 |
| shashike | i tried searching for it but, no forum says that | 16:44 |
| shashike | but i thought this was tech chat, so u guys will know if it works or not, | 16:45 |
| mka | aeon-ltd, eg "sudo fdisk -l" would give me an error about using "sudo" | 16:45 |
| Hyppy | mka: your hard drive may be full or have errors? | 16:45 |
| kinja-sheep | mooseburger: From the looks of it, it is not possible as the developers didn't include any paramteres for temporary burn location. What is wrong with /tmp? That is where temporary files goes to. | 16:45 |

| ManDay | evince has failed for me, onlx xpdf is flawless - but flawless ness seems inverse proportional to feature-count | 17:14 |
| aeon-ltd | ManDay: because most people think its bloated | 17:15 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Where can I find the Sans font. I've already checked /usr/share/fonts, ~/.fonts etc. (Not liberation sans, free snas, etc) | 17:15 |
| ManDay | aeon-ltd: 153MB seem to support that assertion | 17:15 |
| Slart | ManDay: evince has a nasty habit of crashing on me every now and then.. =/ | 17:15 |
| airtonix | xover, i think chrome makes use of its own internal flash player (or the one you get with nonfree-flashplugin) | 17:15 |
| xover | ben when you create a bg process without using nohup, it is killed when closing the terminal. | 17:15 |
| llutz | ManDay: whos wants to use stuff from people who refuse to fix known security-issues? | 17:15 |
| dnivra | xover: I agree with slart. I've got the same number of add-ons too and 4 second startup. | 17:15 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | airtonix: No it uses the same flashplayer as firefox | 17:15 |
| Ben^ | xover, it still shows in process list though :S | 17:15 |
| Slart | xover: unless you run it using & and close the terminal using "exit" | 17:15 |
| ManDay | not me, ill stick with xpdf or hope that evnice guys fix evnice | 17:15 |
| ManDay | where can i file a bug for evince? | 17:16 |
| rob_p | Ben^: use fg | 17:16 |
| Slart | xover: clicking the "close button" doesn't work.. you have to type "exit" | 17:16 |
| airtonix | ChaoticXSinZ, i wasn't exactly sure since i see this "exe" process as a child of chrome whenever a page with flash loads | 17:16 |
| Ben^ | fg only works if I was still in the same terminal session rob_p | 17:16 |
| aeon-ltd | airtonix: at least all this flash crap for linux will phase out it a few years when html5 kicks in | 17:16 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | airtonix: It's because of the way chrome sandboxes processes for security etc | 17:16 |
| rob_p | Ben^: should be able to list jobs and then reattach | 17:16 |
| airtonix | xover, i'm using a chrome extension called adthwarte to do what i had adblockplus for . | 17:17 |
| Ben^ | rob_p, jobs -l right? lists nothin | 17:17 |
| xover | Ben: so its gone right? | 17:17 |
| Hyppy | Google doesn't like people blocking ads. They specifically try and hinder that functionality in Chrome. | 17:17 |
| Ben^ | well its still eating cpu | 17:17 |
| Ben^ | and it shows in top and if I do a ps | 17:17 |
| airtonix | xover, ChaoticXSinZ, aeon-ltd : my only gripe with chrome is that triple clicking a word on a page selects whitepsace after the sentence.... a word on its own hardly ever gets highlighted without the whitespace. | 17:18 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | airtonix: Really? I never use that :P Just select what I want the old fashioned way | 17:19 |
| xover | Slart: I makes no difference if you ctrl-d, exit or close xterm | 17:20 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | So anyone know why GIMP lists the font 'Sans' yet I can't seem to find it on my compter? | 17:20 |
| airtonix | ChaoticXSinZ, yep try it : triple click a sentence... it won't select just the sentence | 17:20 |
| shane2peru | does anyone know how to restore encrypted files? | 17:20 |

| xover | kill supports process completion = awesome. | 17:21 |
| Slart | xover: sure it does.. I just started aplay in a terminal.. then closed with "exit".. it's still running | 17:21 |
| Slart | xover: or rather.. I have no idea if works the same in xterm.. but in the gnome-terminal it works | 17:22 |
| fcuk112 | anybody knows how to get shuttle sb81p working with nvidia 9600gt? | 17:22 |
| xover | if you started aplay in the fg, then how were you able to enter a command? | 17:22 |
| Slart | xover: I run "aplay /dev/urandom &" | 17:22 |
| xover | xterm is gnome-terminal | 17:22 |
| Slart | xover: not in the fg.. but I never said that | 17:23 |
| aeon-ltd | xover wrong, xterm and gnome terminal are different apps | 17:23 |
| Tk_L | I know this is the wrong place to ask, Anyone know how to download a torrent file on a Mac ? | 17:23 |
| aeon-ltd | xover: wrong, xterm and gnome terminal are different apps | 17:23 |
| aeon-ltd | Tk_L: is this for piracy? hint hint never mention online | 17:24 |
| Snausages | Tk_L: install transmission, works the same as transmission for ubuntu | 17:24 |
| arn- | Tk_L: as on every OS. click on it. save as. | 17:24 |
| Tk_L | no is for my personal knowledge | 17:24 |
| Slart | Tk_L: the torrent file itself is probably just downloaded using a regular browser.. safari ought to work.. then you open that file with the torrent client.. for further help you might want to find a mac channel | 17:24 |
| bastidrazor | Tk_L: get the program transmission and open the .torrent file with that program. | 17:24 |

| Tk_L | you been helpfull thanks. Is the software free of all Viruses and Spyware ? | 17:25 |
| Slart | ChaoticXSinZ: hmm.. I've just searched my install.. I don't have a font file for sans.. not sure where it comes from | 17:25 |
| xover | slark: seems that you cant kill aplay with a signal 1 | 17:26 |
| dnivra | Tk_L: transmission is; but no guarantee what comes through it:). | 17:26 |
| guest38953 | hello... i have installed apache, mysql, and php ... it worked fine... i have a test.php run on my browser, but it cant be viewed from other computer,,, what do you think is the problem? | 17:26 |
| Tk_L | dnivra: what do you think it will come with it ? | 17:26 |
| Slart | xover: I just run "pkill aplay".. I'm not sure what signal is default | 17:26 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Slart: I know, it's driving me crazy. Is it just some builtin font or is Sans an alias for another font? | 17:26 |
| rob_p | Ben^: Sorry about the delay. If you didn't background the process with terminal mux such as screen, then I don't know that it's possible to, "reattach" as it were. If jobs doesn't list it, you won't be able to fg the job. | 17:27 |
| Slart | ChaoticXSinZ: an alias is my guess | 17:27 |
| dnivra | guest38953: is apache, php and mysql installed in the other computer you tried to view it from? | 17:27 |
| dnivra | Tk_L: i was referring to what you download using transmission by opening a torrent file:). | 17:27 |
| ChaoticXSinZ | Slart: But the problem here is for what font? | 17:27 |
| guest38953 | dnivra: do they need apache php and mysql? | 17:27 |
| === guest38953 is now known as piojun | ||
| Slart | ChaoticXSinZ: perhaps it's defined in the theme for gnome? (just a wild guess) | 17:28 |
| dnivra | piojun: when you said view in browser, you meant it as opening it as "localhost/test.php" right? | 17:28 |

| adalal | ag90: download the PC intel x86 image... and use unetbootin to load it into a usb | 17:36 |
| Ben^ | I've placed it in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, and rebuilt the font cache | 17:36 |
| adalal | ag90: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 17:36 |
| ag90 | adalal: That was my first thought. But UNetbootin works on Windows and Linux only. | 17:36 |
| adalal | wait | 17:36 |
| adalal | yea | 17:36 |
| adalal | true | 17:36 |
| Slart | xover: I'm browsing through the bash man pages.. there has to be something about this here | 17:37 |

| airtonix | sjd, you mean you want to use your mobile phone as the device by which you gain internet access ? | 17:38 |
| ag90 | adalal: Thanks! | 17:39 |
| sjd | airtonix: yes. like a modem. to access my gsm netwrok | 17:39 |
| airtonix | sjd, via bluetooth or a cable > | 17:39 |
| sjd | airtonix: cable | 17:39 |
| ElectRo` | just dd the image to the usb | 17:40 |
| ag90 | adalal: I already know how to write an img to USB. What I don't know is which image do I download. The Mac instructions on the page require me to have the img already. | 17:40 |
| Ben^ | Slart, xover, seems init can adopt processes if their hosting terminal dies | 17:40 |

| JuJuBee_ | When I try to use 9.10 from live cd, my mouse keeps darting back to the upper left corner rendering it useless. Any ideas? | 17:41 |
| Ben^ | Slart, not sure. It just happened to me too, however. | 17:41 |
| adalal | JuJuBee_: have you tried using any other mouse? which mouse do you have? | 17:42 |
| sjd | airtonix: when I plug it in, I have three options in the phone. 1. data transfer, 2. media, 3. connect to web. when i choose 3, dmesg tells that he found a CD-ROM. lsusb tells me that I have a nokia mobile phone. nothing else | 17:42 |
| Slart | Ben^: the documentation for bash states that when bash exits it tries to kill it's children.. | 17:42 |
| airtonix | sjd, apparently the e66 was included in a list of 3g modems durnig 2008. | 17:42 |
| Slart | Ben^: well.. perhaps there's a reason for it... somewhere | 17:42 |
| Ben^ | Slart, It may be dependent on how the process manages exceptions - i.e if its host terminal dies, its STDIN/OUT/ERR pointers become invalid, as probably does any open file descriptors. if it can deal with that, it can probably continue executing | 17:42 |
| JuJuBee_ | adalal: I have laptop with track pad.. also have usb mouse, both do same... | 17:42 |

| sjd | airtonix: oh. that is great. but how do i set it up? should I modprobe it? | 17:43 |
| airtonix | sjd, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal-info/+bug/294070 | 17:43 |
| Slart | Ben^: sounds reasonable.. I'm just wondering if the process ignores the sighup or if bash never sends it | 17:43 |
| airtonix | sjd, nothing specific yet. | 17:43 |
| ZaNeIuM | where is the terminal's previously typed text history held? | 17:44 |
| airtonix | sjd, something related : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G | 17:44 |
| Ben^ | Slart, your guess is as good as mine! | 17:44 |
| lstarnes | ZaNeIuM: ~/.history | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | ZaNeIuM: the shell mantains history the terminal does not. | 17:44 |
| erUSUL | ZaNeIuM: ~/.bash_history | 17:44 |
| Ben^ | Slart, spose if you could reproduce the scenario, you could do an strace on the pid before exiting bash and look at the system calls | 17:44 |

| lstarnes | ZaNeIuM: no | 17:46 |
| adalal | JuJuBee_: thinkin... | 17:46 |
| lstarnes | ZaNeIuM: it stores the last 500 lines | 17:47 |
| lstarnes | ZaNeIuM: by default | 17:47 |
| Ben^ | Slart, then strace will answer your question. | 17:47 |
| Slart | ChaoticXSinZ: so it is an alias of some kind.. good to know | 17:47 |

| === Atelra-bot is now known as satdav | ||
| Hyppy | smiter: I wouldn't recommend deviating from System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers. But if you must, the driver download section at amd.com has a guide for the non-repository versions | 18:18 |
| fcuk112 | i've got a problem installing glx195 drivers from ppa, it returns exit code 2? | 18:18 |

| ubuntu_ | hello. I just moved my ubuntu partition, and now I'm wondering if I need to update grub somehow. | 18:19 |
| fcuk112 | happens with 190 drivers too. | 18:19 |
| skrite | if i have a command line (ubuntu-server) what do i apt-get to install xorg server? | 18:19 |
| LjL | !info xorg | 18:20 |
| Hyppy | smiter: your card may not be supported. You can still grab the drivers from AMD, but be prepared for complications in the future. I've had nothing but headaches when I've ran them, mostly stemming from updates | 18:20 |
| ubottu | xorg (source: xorg): X.Org X Window System. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 (karmic), package size 1 kB, installed size 24 kB | 18:20 |
| xig | skrite: use apt-cache search <...> | 18:20 |
| ubuntu_ | more specificially, i copied the contents of /dev/sda6 to an empty space to form /dev/sda1 (using GParted). Then I deletd /dev/sda6. Now I think I have to update grub somehow. | 18:20 |

| haresh_ | when i try to install it it says error dependency is not satisfiable : libgconf2-4 | 18:20 |

| === ubuntu_ is now known as andresj_____ | ||

| xig | LjL something with xorg or xorg server? why do you ask? | 18:21 |
| heoa | Where are Expect-examples in Ubuntu? | 18:21 |
| xig | LjL he is obviously trying to find the exact name of a package, and apt-cache search helps us finding those | 18:22 |
| LjL | xig: because "apt-cache search xorg" returns 282 results, and your suggestion reminds of saying "search google". i had already given him the correct package name before you said that. | 18:22 |
| andresj_____ | actually, i thik i have an idea. | 18:22 |
| LjL | the exact name is "xorg". | 18:22 |
| douglasawh-work_ | maco: yeah, they use LVM. I think they just partition it differently | 18:22 |

| kinja-sheep | Guest34943: I don't know. It won't hurt to save it now and restart ushare, testing it on PS3. | 19:39 |
| kinja-sheep | douglasawh-work: I can't be sure. If anything, you are likely to need to copy some files over to /boot if it does not work. | 19:40 |
| Guest34943 | so what about the ps3 I don't have to have ubuntu on it do I? cause I can't put that on there! | 19:40 |

| Guest34943 | and how do I start ushare? | 19:40 |
| kinja-sheep | Guest34943: PS3 -- Well, you should just click on Video or Network and see if the new name show up. | 19:41 |
| kinja-sheep | Guest34943: sudo service ushare restart | 19:41 |
| Guest34943 | I can't put ubuntu on the ps3, I have to leave it with what it haas on it already, the original operating system that comes on the ps3 | 19:41 |
| Webu | Just like it won't see my authorized_keys at all :-( | 19:41 |

| dimitar | why my screenlets are not working? | 20:06 |
| roracle | okay, i want to use my numpad for window management when numlocks is off, and use it for numbers when it's on | 20:06 |
| roracle | and it doesn't work | 20:06 |
| conb123 | lstarnes: But would killing x work? | 20:06 |
| LuciusMare | wow | 20:07 |
| LuciusMare | thanks | 20:07 |
| ManDay | VCoolio, the mimeapp file thing worked just fine | 20:07 |
| DEViUS | aliendude5300, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html ......it also works for ati | 20:07 |
| lstarnes | conb123: that would be an unsafe method of doing it | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest68083: and the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | !info samba3 jaunty | 20:07 |
| heoa | gdb: fine, but the packages are still different. Test it if you don't believe. | 20:07 |
| ubottu | Package samba3 does not exist in jaunty | 20:07 |
| DEViUS | aliendude5300, envy that is.... | 20:07 |
| mezquitale | roracle, youre using karmic? | 20:07 |

| conb123 | lstarnes: Unsafe, but isn't that what ctrl alt backspace used to do? | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | !info samba jaunty | 20:07 |

| erUSUL | D9: you should install samba not samba4 | 20:08 |

| ManDay | VCoolio, do you know how the mimeapps.list file works? | 20:08 |
| ManDay | What does .desktop mean? | 20:08 |
| lstarnes | conb123: it is unsafe in the sense that all applications using the x server at the time will be closed | 20:08 |
| vlee | is it normal on karmic to see something mounted at "/var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs" ? | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip | ManDay: usually its a launcher to a program but it can be anything | 20:08 |
| VCoolio | conb123: there is gnome-session-save --logout | 20:08 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: .desktop files are used for things like desktop icons and launchers and menu entriesd | 20:08 |

| === binary_ is now known as Binary_Hekix | ||
| === Binary_Hekix is now known as Binary_Helix | ||
| VCoolio | ManDay: that folder is the place where customized launchers (.desktop files) are stores; you asked about mime actions and those are stored in either of the two files I mentioned; don't really know more, just experimented with it | 20:11 |
| D9 | erUsul I tried just samba and it is not working either. | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest68083: the command you ran was: dpkg -l grep | flash which is incorrect | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | D9: sudo aptitude install samba | 20:12 |

| trism | esj: is this with 9.10 and grub2? | 20:12 |

| homezz | I just upgraded my box to win7 now my ubuntu box cant print over the network to the win7 printer can anyone help | 20:12 |
| roracle | okay, so numlocks off: window management. numlocks on: use the numpad for calculation. 9.10 64 bit. this doesn't work. set up through the keyboard shortcuts. was given the solution to not use Mouse Keys, and they were already turned off, so it didn't work | 20:12 |
| DEViUS | aliendude5300, did you manage to get it running | 20:12 |
| lstarnes | dimitar: were any packages on your system recently updated? | 20:13 |
| esj | trism: yes | 20:13 |
| trism | esj: try this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD it seems to work for most people | 20:13 |
| Binary_Helix | A mime type is a file extension | 20:13 |
| D9 | Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 20:13 |
| dimitar | lstarnes:yes...i tryed to reinstall screenlets but still nothing | 20:13 |
| Binary_Helix | its just another wording for it.i.e .exe | 20:13 |
| lstarnes | dimitar: what was updated? | 20:13 |
| esj | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows this one failed big time | 20:13 |

| conb123 | Hiya I have a problem in ubuntu, I have to enable noapic and nolapic everytime i want to boot otherwise it freezes up on me, but running ubuntu in single core is getting rather annoying, is there any way that I can fix this or is it simply an incompatible motherboard? | 20:13 |
| Guest68083 | <ActionParsnip> http://pastebin.com/m28aaa9e0 | 20:13 |
| Binary_Helix | then mime types are simple | 20:13 |
| Binary_Helix | so the mime list | 20:13 |
| lstarnes | Binary_Helix: mime types are a little bit more complex though | 20:13 |
| Tha-Doc | anyone know the repository or whatever for the graphics card of an integrated gx270 computer? | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Phuzion: pidgin | 20:14 |
| Binary_Helix | is just that | 20:14 |
| D9 | erUSUL: it may not have worked because I opend synaptic when the samba4 did not work... will try after down load. | 20:14 |
| ManDay | VCoolio, I do have xpdf instaleld NOW - but there is no xpdf.DESKTOP anywhere. | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !fixapt | D9 | 20:14 |
| ubottu | D9: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 20:14 |
| ManDay | Why does <tab><tab> list 1564 possibilities but man <tab><tab> lists 1782? | 20:14 |
| D9 | thanks ActionParsnip | 20:14 |
| Binary_Helix | there is no such thing as a win7 printer | 20:14 |
| dimitar | lstarnes:i cant really remmember...i remmember i installed thinderbird | 20:14 |
| Binary_Helix | use cups to configure your settings for your nix box | 20:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest68083: perfect, ok i'll run you up a big command to sort this all out. | 20:15 |
| VCoolio | ManDay: check in /usr/share/applications; maybe not all apps create launchers for themselves when installed? | 20:15 |
| Phuzion | actionparsnip segmentation fault | 20:15 |
| aliendude5300 | DEViUS, That caused me to have to boot into low graphics mode, I don't recommend anyone else try that... :/ | 20:15 |
| trism | esj: after you finish and reboot into ubuntu, you will probably need to run sudo update-grub again to probe for windows, since it likely won't be detected in the chroot | 20:15 |
| aliendude5300 | Going to try to remove it now... | 20:15 |
| DEViUS | aliendude5300, you mean low resolution? | 20:15 |
| ManDay | VCoolio, you are right, there they are | 20:15 |
| homezz | anyone have any problem print from ubuntu to a win7 box on a network | 20:15 |
| ManDay | I wish there was a manpage on that, tho | 20:15 |
| ManDay | What package is related to that? | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | you are not priting to the windows 7 box | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | printing* | 20:16 |
| aliendude5300 | No, low graphics mode. It's worse. No hardware acceleration, at all. But I still have my 1400x900 resolution. :) | 20:16 |
| esj | trism: got it | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | you are printing to your printer | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | as I said | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | run cups | 20:16 |
| dimitar | lstarnes:any help for that? | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | and input the proper info | 20:16 |
| Binary_Helix | i.e ip address and printer type | 20:16 |

| dimitar | lstarnes:maybe something with the compiz? | 20:17 |
| VCoolio | ManDay: no package resposible for .desktop files, it's just the way stuff is installed on linux or debian maybe; also that's where the menus take their apps from | 20:17 |

| lstarnes | ManDay: if you count /etc/init.d/rc and all the scripts it calls, it's about as long if not longer | 20:25 |
| ManDay | iceroot, my question is whether bash_completion is worth it | 20:25 |
| mezquitale | !anyone | drdmn | 20:25 |
| ubottu | drdmn: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 20:25 |
| smiter | what is aptoncd? | 20:25 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: it is | 20:25 |
| Guest68083 | <ActionParsnip> still not working. this is output from command you gave. http://pastebin.com/m150071dd | 20:25 |
| phaitour | darend: one line > 12K /tmp | 20:25 |
| Binary_Helix | @drdmn are you trying to unarchive the icons? | 20:26 |
| Tha-Doc | Kinja-sheep okay I just restarted it, and will go check the ps3 to see if it shows up | 20:26 |
| ManDay | lstarnes, you still havent named ONE longer script ;p | 20:26 |
| adalal | ActionParsnip: I'm trying to setup an ubuntu server here, and i'd like a web interface to configure a lot of the things... | 20:26 |
| drdmn | actually i install them from the art manager menu | 20:26 |
| vlee | Does anyone else on karmic to see something mounted at /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs ? | 20:26 |
| adalal | what would you recommend then? | 20:26 |
| VCoolio | is there an easy way to set 'acp' to autocomplete to apt-cache policy for example? I have an alias for it now, but then it doesn't autocomplete the packages | 20:26 |
| drdmn | they i apply them, and they do not change | 20:26 |
| iceroot | ManDay: of course | 20:26 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: you can delete bash_completion or edit it if you are unhappy with it | 20:26 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: or use a different shell like zsh | 20:26 |
| ActionParsnip | adalal: it doesnt follow the right files in debian / ubuntu so its not advised | 20:27 |
| Binary_Helix | @drdmn that is odd. What icons are you trying to install? | 20:27 |
| ManDay | lstarnes, not unhappy, just curious. how often do i use any auto completion besides the one for $PATH and $PWD | 20:27 |
| iceroot | ManDay: sudo apt-get install apa tab = apache == bash_completion | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest68083: so you have no flash ? | 20:27 |
| prc322 | hi at all | 20:27 |
| X-Sleepy-X | ok, so i want to uninstall frozen bubble, what command to use to remove every package it has installed? | 20:27 |
| ManDay | iceroot, see, i never use that | 20:27 |
| sebsebseb | prc322: hi | 20:27 |
| diddy | How can I list all installed packages? | 20:27 |
| Alan502 | How to enable Direct3D aceleration on virtual box? I have already checked the boxes in the Display tab on setting of my Virtual XP and i have also installed the guest additions. I also oppened dxdiag on windows to try to enable Direct3D but it appears as not avaible. Can someone help me? | 20:27 |
| drdmn | lets say i install cherry-soda | 20:27 |
| adalal | is ebox preferred over webmin now then, ActionParsnip | 20:27 |
| ManDay | (i didnt eve know it is possible iceroot ) | 20:27 |
| legend2440 | vlee: where are you seeing that? in fstab or when you type mount in terminal? | 20:27 |
| kinja-sheep | !clone | diddy | 20:27 |
| ubottu | diddy: 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 | 20:27 |
| ActionParsnip | adalal: yes | 20:27 |
| iceroot | !tab | ManDay | 20:27 |
| ubottu | ManDay: 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. | 20:27 |
| darrend | phaitour: you need to scan the disk and see which directories are using up the space. Seems odd that you can recover 75% on a reboot - indicates some tmp or swap usage | 20:27 |
| adalal | ? | 20:27 |
| vlee | legend2440: in df or mount | 20:27 |
| prc322 | Im afraid Im here because I have a problem with ubuntu | 20:27 |
| drdmn | after install it puts me to apprearence preferrences | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: you need the 2 lots of guest additions | 20:28 |
| iceroot | ManDay: cd /bo tab = /boot | 20:28 |
| drdmn | i choose the icons but they wont change | 20:28 |
| drdmn | im confused | 20:28 |
| kinja-sheep | prc322: Ask away. | 20:28 |
| diddy | kinja-sheep, ? | 20:28 |
| ManDay | oh really iceroot - i didnt know this for years in linux | 20:28 |
| ManDay | ... | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | drdmn: try restarting X | 20:28 |
| DFH | hello, my problem: i have 4 partitions on my /dev/sda, the system is running allright, but some tools (gparted, partition magic on winxp,..) cant recognize any partitions.. only palimpsest (debian disk utility) and fdisk can see that allright .. any idea how to fix that, please? | 20:28 |
| drdmn | system ? | 20:28 |
| Binary_Helix | @drdmn well if you have not rebooted try that if that is not the issue you might want to try installing them manually. I personally do not use art manager as I find it to be quite buggy. | 20:28 |
| X-Sleepy-X | how to uninstall a package and all the packages it installed as well? | 20:28 |
| diddy | What is the equivalent of rpm -qa for Ubuntu? | 20:28 |
| drdmn | oh thanks alot ill try | 20:28 |
| sebsebseb | X-Sleepy-X: sudo apt-get purge frozenbubble | 20:28 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, which lots? | 20:28 |
| sebsebseb | X-Sleepy-X: try that | 20:28 |
| drdmn | :] | 20:28 |
| iceroot | ManDay: but zsh is much much better then bash (from the point of using tab) | 20:28 |
| phaitour | darrend: I agree. I've tried to go through all the directories and the size just doesn't add up. for instance, I did this at /, du --max-depth=1 -h > http://pastebin.com/d404b085a | 20:29 |
| kinja-sheep | diddy: aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/Desktop/Installed-Packages.txt --> A list of installed packages in a text file. | 20:29 |
| lstarnes | X-Sleepy-X: sudo apt-get purge packagename && sudo apt-get autoremove | 20:29 |
| X-Sleepy-X | thanks | 20:29 |
| prc322 | alright, so Ive installed Ubuntu 9.10 everythings fine. But I cant change the Hz of one of my two screens in the display settings | 20:29 |
| phaitour | darrend: i just don't really know where to start looking | 20:29 |
| lstarnes | X-Sleepy-X: be extremely careful when using autoremove | 20:29 |
| Binary_Helix | @dfh If you have the linux partitions formatted as any etx file system windows will not be able to see them. | 20:29 |
| legend2440 | vlee: no i dont see that in either one. is there an entry in /etc/fstab that mentions /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs? | 20:29 |
| ManDay | iceroot, does it also have a fancy completion script like bash or is it builtin for the most part? | 20:29 |
| webereinc | How do you get Ubuntu to re-discover the video card/monitor? When the system reboots, if the KVM does not have the monitor active for that server, then it does not discover the correct possible settings and forces a default maximum of 800x600. If the KVM is set to have the monitor active during reboot, then it discovers that the monitor can, in fact, support 1024x768. How can you force an active session to re-discover the card/monitor? | 20:29 |
| roracle | I have a problem I would love to have solved today: okay, so numlocks off: window management. numlocks on: use the numpad for calculation. 9.10 64 bit. this doesn't work. set up through the keyboard shortcuts. was given the solution to not use Mouse Keys, and they were already turned off, so it didn't work. i figure this is a simple problem, but aparently not. i understand if you guys aren't technical enough to help fix | 20:29 |
| Binary_Helix | @dfh windows only sees fat,fat32,ntfs formatted harddrives. | 20:29 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: it is largely built-in | 20:29 |
| prc322 | I googled the hole day and multiple times dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg was mentioned | 20:29 |
| ManDay | iceroot, i just got to know bash well enough to work efficiently with it, i wouldnt touch zsh for the next time ;) | 20:29 |
| ManDay | thanks lstarnes | 20:29 |
| Tha-Doc | kinja-sheep No I don't see ushare, but I did find mediatomb | 20:29 |
| Guest68083 | huh. its working on some sites and not on others | 20:30 |
| iceroot | ManDay: most is build in for e.g. ssh tab is showing you the options, parameters,users and hosts | 20:30 |
| vlee | legend2440: no. It's not in fstab. Am using encrypted home folder though. Are you? | 20:30 |
| prc322 | but when I type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" really nothing happens | 20:30 |
| DEViUS | hi, i have a problem with the ufw, when i enable it, after restarting my system its status changes back to disabled....why is that...?? | 20:30 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: but it likely splits up more complex things into separate scripts | 20:30 |
| Guest68083 | <ActionParsnip> its working on some sites and not on others | 20:30 |
| terrorink | does anybody know how to boot ubuntu 9.10 with freebsd 7 | 20:30 |
| Alan502 | ActionParsnip, i checked Direct3D support when installing the guest additions | 20:30 |
| kinja-sheep | Tha-Doc: Toggle on web and telnet. Oh mediatomb works for you now then? | 20:30 |
| iceroot | terrorink: what? | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Alan502: when the box is booted, click the 2 additions in this shot: http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/guest_devices_menu.png | 20:30 |
| ManDay | thats cool. just out of couriousity, what shell do you use iceroot lstarnes | 20:30 |
| ManDay | (daily) | 20:30 |
| lstarnes | ManDay: bash | 20:30 |
| iceroot | ManDay: zsh of course | 20:30 |
| ManDay | "of course".. | 20:31 |
| Binary_Helix | @Devius Have you tryed adding the program to the start up list? | 20:31 |
| legend2440 | vlee: oh no i am not using encrypted home | 20:31 |
| ManDay | ;D | 20:31 |
| darrend | phaitour: you need to do that without the --max-depth (cd / && du -sh *) | 20:31 |
| phaitour | darrend: well thanks for helping me think of ideas... | 20:31 |
| iceroot | ManDay: use it, then you know why i am saying "of course" | 20:31 |
| Tha-Doc | well yes it picks up mediatomb, but there is nothing in there on the ps3, cause I don't know how to do that config setup to add the dir | 20:31 |
| Binary_Helix | @Devius you can do so by making it launch at the start of boot. | 20:31 |
| darrend | phaitour: otherwise I think it won't include subdirs | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest68083: weird, ok try: cd /usr/lib/firefox/plugins; sudo ln -s ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so | 20:31 |
| ManDay | iceroot, understood | 20:31 |

| DFH | Binary_Helix i know, but many linux tools dont work as well.. and they dont see ANY partitions on that hdd (not even FAT or NTFS) - it says just sth like "nothing there" :) | 20:32 |
| kinja-sheep | !tab | Tha-Doc | 20:32 |
| ubottu | Tha-Doc: 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. | 20:32 |

| D9 | !networking | 20:34 |
| Binary_Helix | @DEVius set you program as a daemon that will start at boot time | 20:34 |

| protojay | kinja-sheep: karmic? | 20:53 |
| ActionParsnip | PoisonSerpent_: if you want 64bt UNR you can install the netbook remix on a normal desktop install | 20:53 |
| kinja-sheep | protojay: Are you using Hardy, Intrepid, or Karmic? | 20:53 |
| Binary_Helix | @poisonserpent UNR works on multiple architectures. the only difference in unr and desktop is the interface. the same everything is implemented. including the compatibility across multiple architectures. | 20:54 |

| Binary_Helix | @Haura you need to make sure that the video has subtitles encoded with it. Typically they will be seperate files in the same folder. | 20:56 |

| protojay | kinja-sheep, and how do i get it? | 20:56 |
| Binary_Helix | @poisonserpent if you want it hassle free. | 20:56 |
| Binary_Helix | install vista first | 20:57 |
| Binary_Helix | then make room | 20:57 |
| kinja-sheep | !ppa | protojay | 20:57 |
| ubottu | protojay: With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Binary_Helix: easier to not have to make room | 20:57 |
| kinja-sheep | protojay: See https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa | 20:57 |
| Binary_Helix | @poisonserpent install them side by side and grub will pick up on vista by itself | 20:57 |
| darrend | phaitour: np, sorry I don't know.. would try some ec2 forums/channels | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Binary_Helix: PoisonSerpent_: when you partition for vista don't use 100% disk space, leave some unpartitioned space | 20:57 |
| PoisonSerpent_ | ActionParsnip: I know. Im not THAT much of a n00b. :P. | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | PoisonSerpent_: savs the need to mess with resizing malarky, it can be completly sidestepped with planned partitioning | 20:58 |
| greg_ | DEViUS no devices found... how can i ensure im seeing W7 properly | 20:58 |
| Haura | !Multiverse | 20:58 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 20:58 |
| ActionParsnip | PoisonSerpent_: i assume nothing | 20:58 |
| murbani | how do i allow one user at a time access files in my samba file server | 20:58 |
| Binary_Helix | @poisonserpent alternatively you can right click my computer and goto manage then click the dish usage tab and shrink your existing partition leaving the left over space unallocated. | 20:58 |
| PoisonSerpent_ | Alright. Thanks all. | 20:58 |
| DEViUS | greg_, are you using iptables by anycahance? | 20:58 |
| Binary_Helix | @poisonserpent disk* also this assumes you have vista first installed | 20:59 |

| webereinc | How do you get Ubuntu to re-discover the video card/monitor? When the system reboots, if the KVM does not have the monitor active for that server, then it does not discover the correct possible settings and forces a default maximum of 800x600. If the KVM is set to have the monitor active during reboot, then it discovers that the monitor can, in fact, support 1024x768. How can you force an active session to re-discover the card/monitor? | 20:59 |

| koshari | intel wifi dropping out continuously on 9.10 :-( | 21:14 |
| Binary_Helix | @d9 read through this http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ you will have to set up samba. If you read and follow instructions this will be easy peasy for you trust me. | 21:15 |
| natewiebe13 | i use ssh for sharing | 21:15 |
| nameo0 | how can u expand the ubuntu partition after you have decreased the vista partition? | 21:15 |
| ardchoille | natewiebe13: make is an app, looks like you are using ./compile to execute the file named "compile" in the current dir | 21:15 |
| koshari | nameo0 in a live session using gparted | 21:15 |
| nameo0 | koshari: how do i get a live session? | 21:16 |
| ubuntu_mad | I get this http://pastebin.com/d300ab033 when trying to access my HDD | 21:16 |
| natewiebe13 | ardchoille: yeah, make ends up installing, does ./configure install to current the directory only? | 21:16 |
| natewiebe13 | *the current | 21:16 |
| D9 | Binary_Helix: thanks. that looks like what I need. Do know if this can be done on a live cd? | 21:16 |
| ardchoille | natewiebe13: the configure script installs the needed files as dictated in the makefile | 21:16 |
| natewiebe13 | nameo0: what i would do, is boot using a live cd, use the partition manager (gparted) to adjust the partitions | 21:17 |
| ardchoille | natewiebe13: the configure script just configures, the make installs the needed files as dictated in the makefile | 21:17 |
| natewiebe13 | ardchoille: there is also a ./compile not ./configure | 21:17 |
| nameo0 | when i boot using the cd i cant find gparted anywhere | 21:17 |
| Binary_Helix | @d9 Well I am sure it could be but it obviously would not be permanent. | 21:17 |
| guntbert | ardchoille: .configure usually generates the makefile (from some template) | 21:18 |
| Binary_Helix | name0 | 21:18 |
| ardchoille | natewiebe13: that sounds like it just compiles and possibly calls make. I don't know, you'd have to read the compile script | 21:18 |
| Binary_Helix | @name0 sudo apt-get install gparted | 21:18 |
| ardchoille | guntbert: right | 21:18 |
| natewiebe13 | nameo0: system -> administration -> partition editor | 21:18 |
| mebaran151 | I'd like to export what my computer is playing on my soundcard as a streaming mp3 | 21:18 |
| mebaran151 | now would I do that | 21:18 |
| mebaran151 | *how | 21:18 |
| Binary_Helix | @mebaran151 across what? streaming to what? | 21:19 |
| mebaran151 | my computer is in my bedroom and has a Squeezebox attached | 21:19 |
| D9 | Binary_Helix: I am using a live cd right now and I thought that may be why I can't get somba. tried via that terminal and via the gui. | 21:19 |
| mebaran151 | I'd like to allow my squeezebox to play what I have on my computer, so I could watch movies and such | 21:20 |
| natewiebe13 | ardchoille: turns out its just calling make, should have checked the script before asking | 21:20 |
| D9 | mebaran151: that funny, I heard the song mommas got a squeeze box. LOL.. | 21:20 |
| Binary_Helix | @d9 So you are trying to share a windows partition out? | 21:20 |
| mebaran151 | without running a cord (Squeezebox is all wireless) | 21:20 |
| natewiebe13 | mebaran: i use twonkymedia, its worth buying | 21:21 |
| mebaran151 | squeezebox can tune into internet radio stations | 21:21 |
| Binary_Helix | @mebaran151 sorry I can't help. I have no exp with squeezebox | 21:21 |
| mebaran151 | so I'd essentially like to broadcast my soundcard's output as in internet radio station | 21:21 |
| mebaran151 | if I can get that, I can do the rest I think | 21:21 |

| baz_ | howdy! I am across the country right now outside my home lan. On my home lan I have 2 computers: my desktop and a nas. If I SSH into my desktop, and then from there SSHFS into my nas, the drive mounts nicely on my desktop. However, if I try the same SSHFS from here (outside the lan) I get a "connection reset by peer" error. I can SSH into both my nas and desktop from here without issue. I checked the top hits on google but none of thos | 21:34 |
| baz_ | e seems to address my issue. Any ideas wy I can't sshfs into my nas drive? | 21:34 |
| Diverdude | any recommended c++ extensions for emacs? | 21:35 |
| koshari | nameo0 if its not on the 9.10 cd get the gpated live image | 21:35 |
| tpw_lappy | baz_: did you allow your nas to access the outside world, ie a dmz? | 21:35 |
| Scunizi | baz_: your router probably doesn't have a different port forwarded to the NAS alone.. that's why you can get to it from the other machine within the lan while connected to it via ssh | 21:36 |

| kinja-sheep | tha-doc: "When uShare is started in DLNA mode and if it is in the process of parsing the shared media files, PS3 won't be able to connect to uShare service properly. You might get a "Media Server Error: A DLNA protocol error(501) has occured". You have to wait for parsing to get over before PS3 can connect successfully.

| ChogyDan | !ask | HuleaAlex | 22:03 |
| ubottu | HuleaAlex: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:03 |

| ubottu | charlie__, please see my private message | 22:08 |
| daves111_ | I did | 22:09 |
| ga_sk8er | charlie_ try headphones in to make sure it isnt just ur speakers went bad | 22:09 |
| surf | charlie__, here you don't need to do that. Ubuntu does not work with .exe (win extensions) | 22:09 |
| HuleaAlex | ChogyDan: um, tried pulseaudio, but the audio levels were still the same, quiet | 22:09 |

| daves111_ | ChogyDan: I have re installed | 22:09 |
| charlie__ | don't know where to access the message! | 22:09 |
| ga_sk8er | surf actually linux does work with exe with the help of wine | 22:09 |
| blakkheim | !sound | charlie__ | 22:09 |
| ubottu | charlie__: 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 | 22:09 |
| dath | is there an official ubuntu 9.10 dvd insert? | 22:09 |
| slawi | k | 22:10 |
| HuleaAlex | ChogyDan: But I was complaining about alsa in the first place | 22:10 |
| surf | ga_sk8er, yeah but it has to emulate apis... I mean it's better to use free software... | 22:10 |
| blinkiz_ | Hi. Installing karmic desktop into a new machine here. Can not see the encryption option (luks) under the installation. Choosing type for the partition and encryption is not there anymore. Why? | 22:10 |
| blakkheim | ga_sk8er: true, but this dude shouldn't be trying to install drivers in wine so that's not of much help. | 22:10 |
| ChogyDan | HuleaAlex: what model are you working? | 22:10 |
| blakkheim | blinkiz_: encryption isn't on the default install cd, use the alternate | 22:10 |
| ga_sk8er | charlie at top of ur scree n on the display bar next to the date is an icon that looks like a speaker. the default volume is all the way muted. left click it to open the sound properties then adjust the volume | 22:10 |
| blinkiz_ | blakkheim, it was on the default cd under jaunty. Or am I remember it wrong? | 22:11 |
| HuleaAlex | ChogyDan: 904hd | 22:11 |
| blakkheim | blinkiz_: it was always on the alternate install cd, never the regular | 22:11 |

| ga_sk8er | my sound works but not in java online games. anyone got any ideas what could be causing it? | 22:11 |

| Solorvox | Could someone please look at this bug, and maybe put it in the right category/assign it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008 | 22:19 |
| blakkheim | dath: hal should either automount it or let you mount it by clicking on it in the file manager, or you can add it to /etc/fstab if you want it mounted on startup | 22:19 |
| surf | Dezine, yes there is. Go to the repair console and then select your win partition. Then chkdsk -p -r if I remember correctly | 22:19 |

| surf | tha-doc, explain better please. | 22:34 |
| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: what? | 22:34 |
| VCoolio | ElNombre: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras and libdvdread4 and run "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh"? Else try vlc | 22:34 |
| Snausages | surf: ah, that's why I haven't seen this... I'm on a netbook, trying to open DVD folders on my network server | 22:34 |

| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: oh. well anything is going to be slow, but you could try something really light like dwm or openbox | 22:35 |
| ubuntu__ | surf, I want to install lubuntu, and it is clean. Upon running it only boots into the operating system instead of giving the option to install or run. | 22:35 |
| ElNombre | vcoolio: thanks, I've installed all that and I'm using VLC, when I type in "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh" to terminal it says command not found... actually I've just had an idea, hold on | 22:35 |

When I had windows games worked great with this integrated graphics card that the dell gx270 has, but in ubuntu no games work almost at all. and I want to go back to windows professional I have my product key but no disks to reload onto my pc. What do i do? | 22:35 |
| surf | ubuntu__, yeah that's right... it's the live cd. Then on the desktop you should see an Install icon | 22:36 |
| surf | tha-doc, why didn't you dual boot? Have you got the recovery partition? | 22:36 |
| === tj_ is now known as tj83 | ||
| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: eh i'd avoid a full desktop environment, too much bloat/overheadd | 22:36 |
| surf | tha-doc, try to look at it via gparted | 22:36 |
| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: you could just login to your regular X session and then run specific X applications through ssh | 22:37 |
| surf | ubuntu__, if you don't want to use a grafical installer then download the alternate version of the cd. | 22:37 |
| ubuntu__ | surf, I don't have an install icon on the desktop, upon shearching through some folders there is one named install, but all it cantains is a memory test, that's what confuses me. | 22:37 |
| BaconZombie | Hey | 22:37 |
| r0k3tm3n | blakkheim: ok, i havent tried Openbox yet. does it need to be running on the host computer? or can u run two different window managers? | 22:37 |

| surf | ubuntu__, and you can't see the install icon on the desktop | 22:38 |
| Solorvox | BaconZombie, google? | 22:38 |
| blakkheim | Snausages: i'm not sure. have you considered encoding them to something like mkv or mp4? that would make it much easier. | 22:38 |
| digitalaxis | Anyone know where i could find a good graphic artist team or individual to assist with my new OSS project? | 22:38 |

| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: i've never done a full session through SSH, i'd recommend just logging in normally and running the apps you need through ssh | 22:39 |
| r0k3tm3n | blakkheim: ok, thnx anyway | 22:39 |
| Snausages | digitalaxis: craigslist for your city- there are bunches of them bidding on projects like that | 22:39 |
| surf | ubuntu__, I had a similar problem and it was my drive gone... | 22:39 |

| blakkheim | CovaDax: sudo aptitude install vlc | 22:40 |
| BaconZombie | Solorvox : All the link say to goto "http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx" which is offline | 22:40 |

| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: nice | 22:40 |
| CovaDax | I'm really new to linux and don't know much about all the coding | 22:40 |
| dtownhero | to bad he left I was going to tell him to try synergy | 22:40 |
| VCoolio | ElNombre: not that I know of; at least no more than login again should suffice; what difference do you notice? It takes longer to fail? | 22:40 |
| ubuntu__ | surf, so you think it would be advisible to download the alternate version then, and install that way? | 22:40 |
| kenpark | CovaDax: Open Synaptic through your taskbar and search for vlc | 22:40 |
| digitalaxis | CovaDax: Go to your "Ubuntu Software manager" and type in VLC | 22:40 |
| blakkheim | r0k3tm3n: a standalone window manager would be even faster, but if that's fast enough for you then keep using it | 22:40 |
| ElNombre | VCoolio: yeah exactly, it got through the first few titles and then at the menu screen it started to screw up | 22:41 |
| blakkheim | CovaDax: open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude install vlc" | 22:41 |
| Solorvox | BaconZombie, learn to use google a bit, http://www.backtrack.it/~emgent/hackstuff/Attansic/ | 22:41 |
| surf | ubuntu__, that would be a nice idea. I still think that your cd had error though. There is a way to install from terminal but I don't remember it now | 22:41 |

| blakkheim | Berzerker: wicd-client | 23:02 |

| Berzerker | blakkheim, ah, thanks | 23:03 |
| treb^ | restart.. | 23:03 |
| kenpark | izua: haha, okay. You did "sudo service gdm stop" and then you did "sudo Xorg -configure" and then "sudo service gdm start" ? | 23:03 |
| bigd1 | hello | 23:04 |
| kenpark | izua: Your X will quit once you do the first one. Just keep the other commands in mind :-) | 23:04 |
| Jaza | no help in the forums channel for handrake? | 23:04 |
| blakkheim | kenpark: you need to move the xorg.conf example to /etc/X11 | 23:04 |
| DarkHelmut | Thanks. ffmpeg -formats | grep m4p returns info... however, not 100% sure that means it can. Will be trying right now | 23:04 |
| Berzerker | blakkheim, thanks that works great. | 23:04 |
| izua | yeah i did that | 23:04 |
| iyunkateus | Is there a way to get Empathy to correctly interpret Google talk *bold* and _italics_? | 23:05 |
| Solorvox | DarkHelmut, Means it can decode your mp4 and encode to mp3 | 23:05 |
| izua | i did the init.d method and i replaced gdm with kdm (since that's used here) | 23:05 |
| blakkheim | iyunkateus: why not use pidgin? | 23:05 |
| Docteh | /dev/zero is 0 is there a device that returns 1's | 23:05 |
| izua | however, it creates the file in ~/ which is /root for su | 23:05 |
| DarkHelmut | Solorvox excellent news, thank you much! | 23:05 |
| izua | and i'm forced to start with X --config-file=/root/xorg.conf.new | 23:05 |
| ^Phantom^ | I am on a 9.10 live session | 23:05 |
| izua | and of course it fails if it doesn't start as a service | 23:05 |
| izua | but no /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 23:05 |
| kenpark | izua: right, you need to move it to /etc/X11 as blakkenheim said | 23:05 |

| ^Phantom^ | how do i search the ntfs drive for *sysguard.exe ? | 23:06 |
| Solorvox | DarkHelmut, wait, it's m4p or mp4? | 23:06 |
| ^Phantom^ | the beginning has to be a wildcard, i am using terminal to search | 23:06 |

| r0k3tm3n | has anyone fowarded X over SSH with Openbox, Fluxbox, or dwm? | 23:09 |
| Docteh | LucidPerry: lsmod | grep fglrx <-- or what the kernel module is called | 23:09 |
| Docteh | r0k3tm3n: why forward a window manager? | 23:09 |
| Solorvox | r0k3tm3n, just ask about your problem | 23:09 |
| LucidPerry | Docteh: nothing happens when I enter in commands. It just goes to the next line. | 23:09 |
| LucidPerry | Docteh: Doesn't register them whatsoever. | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | r0k3tm3n: i have | 23:10 |
| izua | ok, i have the xorg.conf now, but i obviously copied it | 23:10 |

| === jp is now known as Guest17146 | ||
| Docteh | LucidPerry: modprobe fglrx and then do that lsmod again? | 23:10 |
| izua | the only question now is - is X really using it? | 23:10 |
| ActionParsnip | izua: if the file exists it will be used | 23:10 |
| surf | izua, I think so. | 23:10 |

| hsa2 | hello everybody | 23:10 |
| surf | hsa2, hi | 23:11 |
| hsa2 | background of tray icons on gnome-panel is not transparent | 23:11 |
| izua | ok, thanks everybody | 23:11 |
| hsa2 | i mean, not all icons | 23:11 |
| hsa2 | but some of them | 23:11 |
| Docteh | r0k3tm3n: but why are your forwarding a window manager? just use the local one | 23:11 |
| hsa2 | is it a bug or something? | 23:11 |
| ActionParsnip | r0k3tm3n: you can forward just the app you need, forwarding the whole desktop is waaaay OTT | 23:11 |
| kenpark | !enter | hsa2 | 23:11 |
| ubottu | hsa2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 23:11 |
| r0k3tm3n | ActionParsnip: i was able to start Gnome and LXDE, but i cant get dwm, openbox, or fluxbox to run | 23:11 |
| RedDragon | is the email email alerts setting in the config for lm-sensors? | 23:11 |
| r0k3tm3n | Docteh: remote connections over WAN... | 23:12 |
| ActionParsnip | r0k3tm3n: just forward the app you want to run, don't forward the whole desktop, its silly | 23:12 |
| Docteh | r0k3tm3n: I'd forward just an xterm and go from there personally | 23:12 |
| VCoolio | RedDragon: forget the connection lm-sensors <-> email ;) what email client do you use? | 23:12 |
| hsa2 | ok, background of some of my icons on gnome-panel's tray part is not transparent, so when i make my panel's background transparent, they look weird. is it a bug or something? | 23:12 |
| r0k3tm3n | ActionParsnip: maybe silly to you... for me it makes sense in some situations | 23:12 |
| RedDragon | really not one | 23:12 |
| r0k3tm3n | thnx | 23:13 |
| Docteh | hsa2: the icon images are probably not set up for transparency | 23:13 |
| ActionParsnip | r0k3tm3n: if you are launching apps in a desktop you can just launch the apps directly, meaning you are forwarding the desktop and the app | 23:13 |
| surf | hsa2, try changing icon sets | 23:13 |
| === X-Sleepy-X is now known as Santa-Claus | ||
| hsa2 | surf, no, changing icon set doesn't solve this problem | 23:14 |
| r0k3tm3n | ActionParsnip: yes, i get that, but i WANT to forward the whole desktop, not just an app. have u done it with Openbox or DWM? | 23:14 |
| VCoolio | RedDragon: gmail? there is gmail-notify or gnome-gmail-notifier | 23:14 |
| hsa2 | Docteh, is there anything i can do about it? | 23:14 |
| === Santa-Claus is now known as X-Sleepy-X | ||
| ActionParsnip | r0k3tm3n: you could killoff openbox, then rerun it in the forwarded X session | 23:14 |
| tubaman | r0k3tm3n, x11vnc | 23:15 |
| Solorvox | r0k3tm3n, maybe if you told people what your problem is and not asking if people had done something, you might get better responses. | 23:15 |
| Docteh | hsa2: you could track down the specific icons, edit them and file a bug against the package that contains the icon so its fixed in the future | 23:15 |
| r0k3tm3n | Solorvox: i tried that: i cant get openbox/dwm/fluxbox to start | 23:16 |
| Solorvox | r0k3tm3n, on the remove or local system? | 23:16 |
| r0k3tm3n | tubaman: but i want to forward over ssh, but thnx | 23:17 |
| r0k3tm3n | tubaman: and tunnels aren't working | 23:17 |
| r0k3tm3n | Solorvox: remote | 23:17 |
| Solorvox | r0k3tm3n, When forwarding X over ssh, you don't use the remove WM, the X11 windows are forwarded to your local WM | 23:17 |
| tubaman | r0k3tm3n, ssh port forward vnc(5900) | 23:17 |

| blakkheim | SaToo: then why are you using ettercap? | 23:19 |
| ActionParsnip | SaToo: well if you run the app as you, you don't have write access there do you. You will need to find where the logs are written and give yourself write access there, or run the app with gksudo | 23:20 |

| Solorvox | c7p, it's a wrapper for many types of files, it could be anything from a dll, exe, doc, xls, etc. In other words, you can't really. Maybe if you could extract the objects, then open them. | 23:28 |

If I go to a lower run state (i.e ctrl+alt+f7) and back it fixes the problem. Is there anyway I can prevent it from happening though? | 23:39 |
| Lyra | (ctrl+alt+f6)* | 23:39 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | I'm in dire need of assistance. I turn on my computer, get 1/5 through boot and it freezes, if I do ANYTHING cpu intensive (ie: start firefox) it freezes | 23:44 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | It's hardware failure, but if someone could tell me what it probably is, and how I would go about fixing this, it would be awesome. | 23:45 |
| Slart | Lyra: it might be a problem with the ATI driver.. I don't have an ATI card myself so I can't really help you with specifics. | 23:45 |
| blakkheim | ShazbotMcNasty: might be overheating | 23:45 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I can hear the fans.. | 23:45 |

| ElNombre | hey all, I'm trying to turn on DMA using HDPARM, however, I'm getting an error " HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device", any ideas? | 23:55 |
| Slart | ElNombre: are you using ide discs? | 23:55 |
| Slart | ElNombre: I'm not sure hdparm works if you're using SATA | 23:55 |
| scott_ino2 | hello, Anyone here with a lot of experience with VPNs, I keep getting a dropped connection every 2-20min and would like to diagnose | 23:55 |
| ElNombre | Slart: I'm using SATA I think... how would you recommend turning on DMA otherwise? the conventional method described in the wiki didn't work | 23:56 |
| Slart | ElNombre: I don't think SATA uses DMA | 23:56 |
| ElNombre | slart: hold on it's atapi... I don't actually know what sata and atapi are, are they mutually exclusive or am I on the wrong track? | 23:57 |

| Slart | ElNombre: I can't say I'm an expert at this either.. there's SATA and PATA serial and parallell ... then there's IDE,ATA.. not really sure what they all do | 23:58 |
| ElNombre | slart: well basically, I tried using the conventional method of turning on DMA but it failed, but in one of the blocks of text in terminal, it says "DMA has been disabled but can be enabled", so there must be a way | 23:59 |
