minimecwolter: your webcam is loaded and supported. Looks that you got a dell inspiron 1520. Open gstreamer-properties and go to the video section. Play around there.00:01
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: well yes as the resolve is local rather than on the internet so its automatically faster, it takes 0ms rather than 30ms00:01

wolterminimec, Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'.00:01
kinja-sheepActionParsnip: Is there a guide for this? :o00:01
ActionParsnipeix: i use wep, with other extra security measures built in00:01
wolterthats what v4l2 says, and I used to have success with that thing00:01

frogletI find the remix just a tad slow running, I think I should install the regular ubuntu00:02
eixActionParsnip: I'd personally abandon WEP at all00:02
kinja-sheepActionParsnip: Thanks. I'm going to mess with it now.00:02
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: if we can reduce the dns traffic on the web it will be a lot faster00:02
ActionParsnipeix: if you add extra security its fine00:02
blakkheimlol00:02
eixActionParsnip: like dynamic WEP?00:02

wolterwill do00:03
ActionParsnipeix: no like hidden ESSIDs, weird IP netmask, no dhcp, mac filtering, weird non-readable SSID, restricted ariel power00:03
ae86-driftermka, can u please help me >??00:03
ae86-drifterwhat do u mean by uh-huh?00:03
frogletoh yes remix version is slow, regular Ubuntu was faster00:03
eixActionParsnip: yes but anybody can dump your WEP traffic and "decrypt" it00:04
eixActionParsnip: and it takes no time to detect IP addresses, netmasks and your other passwords00:04
ActionParsnipeix: sure, but its good enough for me.00:04

mkaae86-drifter, but it prints a blank page corresponding to a page that was supposed to be printed correctly, right?00:06

kinja-sheepActionParsnip: Where can I find a list of local cached IP addresses?00:08
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: so if you keep accessing the sme page, the IP will already be known so you wont have to continually ask the DNS servers online for the same address00:08
ae86-driftermka, any ideas??00:08
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: that I do not know00:08
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: nor do i care00:08

ascheelI have an issue since upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10.  When I click anywhere in the titlebar, sometimes it registers in the proper window, sometimes it registers the click in another, seemingly unrelated window.  I might try and minimize Firefox, but it actually minimizes a terminal on the other monitor.  Any ideas?00:09
ae86-drifterhas anyone had issues with brother printers printing blank pages, or saying receiving data then cutting out??00:09
eixSpirits-Sight: I know none00:09
mkaae86-drifter, it seems as if it's your printer problem than ubuntu's00:10
ActionParsnipkinja-sheep: you can use some bind9 jiggery pokery so that it can be accessed by other systems than localhost00:10

ae86-driftermka, im back sorry, i still get the same issue, even after downgrading poppler00:36
gui7mMezquitale, not if you've got hundreds of files there ;)00:36
ShaunRok, i'm a retard... networking was starting... it's the ssh server thats not starting.00:36
mkamMezquitale, rm makes you wipe a file from the hard drive00:36
ActionParsnipgrobda24: sudo /etc/init/d/bluetooth stop    or somesuch, use tab completion to complete the bluetooth bit00:36
gui7Bondy, that's precisely what i need, thanks! :D00:36
ShaunRso how do i configure the ssh server to start on boot?00:36
mMezquitalegui7, you dont have to remove each file one by one, use the command Bondy showed you00:37
icerootShaunR: just install it00:37
mkaae86-drifter, what is poppler00:37
jtajiShaunR: it will do so by default when installed... have you installed 'openssh-server' ?00:37
gui7mMezquitale, i know, i already used it thx :)00:37

mMezquitalemka, "rm" securely wipes files from ext4 partitions?  I thought you had to give them a few passes for it to be securely removed00:38
icerootmMezquitale: rm removes it permanetly (if there are no hardlinks anymore)00:38
mkamka, no, not securely of course00:38
mkadamn00:38
kinja-sheepmMezquitale: shred file1 file2 file300:38

mkamMezquitale, not rm does not secure delete00:39
klown-away:P00:39
Bondyhe didnt ask how to delete all the dodgy porn on my hd00:39
mMezquitaleiceroot, true but using forensic utilities you may still be able to look at the data, i thought rm mainly sets the disk space as writable again, not securely erase, as in wipe or shred00:39
intergallacticHelloo!! Does anyone know how to set single click, than double click which is the default? In mint 7 (ubuntu based) was pretty easy, but can't find it on 8.00:40
icerootmMezquitale: rm is not deleting00:40
icerootmMezquitale: m is only removing the hard-link node00:40
icerootmMezquitale: unlink is removing the file if i am correct which is called after hardlinks =000:40
Bondyrm is remove00:40
minimecintergallactic: properties of the file manager nautilus or thunar00:40
mMezquitalekinja-sheep, thanks!00:41
joshua__how about a system that uses only tmpfs and encrypted swap?00:41
kinja-sheepmMezquitale: No problem.00:41
Bondyif its a hardlink they need to do it for the link and the destenation00:41
digitalaxisjoshua__, Why would you want that? lol00:41
icerootBondy: rm is not removing the destination of the hardlinks00:42
legend2440intergallactic: open nautilus then edit>preferences>behavior tab00:42
icerootBondy: its just removing THAT hardlink but not the file00:42
grobda24<ActionParsnip> ? Anyway, now "sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth stop" is stuck in the same place00:42
icerootBondy: when hardlink =0 then the file is deleted00:42
Bondydeleting a soft or hard liink only deletes the link not the destenation00:42
icerootBondy: correct00:42
jtajiBondy: there is no link/destination with hard links, just hard links00:42
mMezquitalekinja-sheep, how many runs of shred would be considered a safe shred?  just once would be enough? then you use rm to delete it?00:43
jtajiBondy: the original file is in fact a hard link00:43
gui7i'm having problems writing to /media/fd0/ -- i've tried chmoding it to 751, but all i get is the error "Read-only file system"00:43

intergallacticohh..man!! i think this was on 7 too.. lol...i suppose i forgot it!!..lol!! many thanks minimec and legend244000:43
kinja-sheepmMezquitale: You might want to read "shred --help"  Check out all parameters including -u parameter.00:44
eixBondy: yes hard links point to inodes, not files, like normal files do00:44
caseyshas anyone used ssmtp?00:44

mMezquitalekinja-sheep, im still not sure how many passes I should put though, i think 8 should be sufficient but what do you think?00:45
icerootmka: /root/foo00:45
icerootmka: if hardlink =0  (use stat a-file-name to see hardlink counter) then the file is gone00:45
LjLmMezquitale: "sufficient" for what? it all depends on what level of security you want to attain. it's probably impossible to make 100% sure that someone with enough resources can't recover anything.00:46
icerootmka: and cant be restored00:46
joshua__hardlinks are hard concepts to some people00:46

Bondythen again depends what you want to configure for a server would be ok but if you want a desktop not really01:01
kmystanybody know if there is a limit on the size of a luks keyfile?01:03
Pelodannek7,  I think you need to edit the "machine profile" in the vm to see a bigger drive , which vm are you using ? ask in their channel01:03

silareHi all. I tried to use pysdm to get an automount of my NTFS, but now when I plug a flash drive in it won't show up in Nautilus. How do I fix this?01:10

kmystkinja-sheep: i know :)  i just can't wrap my mind around why a tiny file works and a "larger" one doesn't01:11

jtajieltume: limit your upstream bandwidth in your torrent client to about 80% of your max upstream from your ISP01:21
Speareltume: No problem, Bittorrent normally has a high connection count which will slow you down more than the bandwith being used01:21
kinja-sheepeltume: "sudo killall firefox"01:21

tos_if i have ubuntu installed with one 512mb chip and its using 128mb for video memory, its running slow as hell, using a lot of swap, so im getting a new 1GB ram stick, BUT... should i put the 1gb in the first slot so it will use it first, or leave the 512 in the first slot.. will it even affect anything either way?01:37
rahdukeDr_Willis: so its not something that is just PnP?01:37

tos_using 9.10 64bit01:38
Lantiziaalberto, don't ask me - no idea... works for me but I use mythbuntu and it configured everything for me with mythtv01:38
KrisDouglastos_ I would get a few gig, and really reap the benefits of x6401:38
Dr_Willisrahduke:  depends on what kind of 'nas' it is.. The one i had. with the drivers actually appeared as a 'local' disk. I could even run gparted on it.01:38
LizardK|ngtos_, it's not an OS issue, you should check the manual for your motherboard01:38

gmachine_24Hi: I have my music collection on a Ubuntu 9.04 computer with two extra hard drives that hold the music - essentially a main drive and a back up that I use an rsync cron script to back up drive A to drive B every night - you know, an incremental update and sync. Anyway, the computer says there are an unspecified number of "unreadable" files on each hard drive. There must be some kind of...01:49
gmachine_24...utility I can use to scan the files - there are almost 17,000 songs and the total number of files listed is 17,800 so maybe there are 800 "unreadable". Sorry this post is so long.01:49
LantiziaFlannel, yes musn't interrupt the many thousands of ex-users in a panic01:49
Lantizia*ex-windows-users01:49
gmachine_24I take it there is a problem with the network.01:50
minimeczoke: I personally recommend a clean karmic install for the '/' partition, keeping the /home partition untouched. The reason is simple. There were a lot of changes in karmic (grub2, ext4, kms for intel and ati cards) All these changes were made regarding the next LTS version of Ubuntu 10.04. Do the step now, and you wount have problems with upgrading to lucid...01:51

MisantropoHow do i backup my home folder using "tar jxvf myuser.tar.bz2 /home/myuser" if it has not copiable open files?02:18
minimecjillsmitt: You should be able to see your win shares with the file manager (I don't use samba) ...02:18
rahdukeedbian: lol thanks man02:18
rahdukeim saying its been an hour and change02:18
edbianrahduke, No problem.  I suspect that everything is fine.  What do you  mean that your drive has gparted issues??02:18
kinja-sheepedbian: A minute? More likely 30 minutes, I think. Or more02:19
edbiankinja-sheep, ha ha.  Yeah02:19
rahdukeedbian: i was in here earlier and someone named Illness said he found alot of outstanding issues for the 1.5TB drive and gparted on the web02:19
kheeraMisantropo: what's a 'not copiable open file' ?02:19
jtajiMisantropo: you want tar cvjf... logging your user out should close all files02:19
rahdukei have searched and havent found anything in particular yet02:19
Misantropojtaji, right, cvjf02:19
edbianrahduke, mhmmm IDK,  there are other disc formatting programs out there.  Does gparted show any progress?02:20
Misantropojtaji, i don't want to logout, that's the problem02:20
tos_ok so if i am on a DSL connection, and I have an 8block of static IPS, i want to make virtual server each with 1 of public static ips, what is the best way to let ubuntu 9.10 do that? the DSL router is a 3800 2Wire-ATT model02:20
ChakravantiCan I get Ext4 support on 8.10?  What's the best way?  e2fsprogs syas it has ext4 support but when I try to mount an ext4 HD from the live CD it says my system does not support the format and I'm a little confused.02:20
rahdukeedbian: thats what i was hoping to find, some kind of terminal command that would show the actual progress because gparted doesnt02:20
kinja-sheeprahduke: I partitioned my 2TB. It worked fine. I didn't use Gparted though.02:20
joshua__Chakravanti your e2fsprogs may have it but it sounds like the kernel driver does not02:20
edbiankinja-sheep, How long did it take?02:20
sync3timesBondy, thats not a hard link02:21
kinja-sheepedbian: Like I said, 30min or more. I didn't remember exactly because I know that'll take awhile.02:21
ChakravantiWhen does Ubuntu get ext4 support on the liveCD?02:21
rahdukekinja-sheep: which route did u go to formaT?02:21
edbianrahduke, I don't think you'll be able to see the progress that way.  If you really feel it has been too long you can also just abort and try again with a different partition editor.  If the hdd is empty it shouldn't matter right?02:21
kinja-sheeprahduke: The command route.02:21
edbianChakravanti, It already does in 9.1002:22
rahdukeedbian: i would assume it wouldnt mess it up, but this thing cost me a pretty penny and I can't return it so i dont wanna create bad sectors or anything like that right off the bat02:22
Chakravantiedbian: okay, i was kinda hoping 9.04 has it because I have a 9.04 CD but not a 9.10 =P02:22

kinja-sheepedbian: Well, I have 193 process running right now. I suppose if I tried, I could shave more. Also, extended battery cell is nice.03:05
SanityInAnarchySo, NetworkManager suddenly refuses to connect to multiple wired interfaces.03:06
unopndroftheline,  find has an -exec option where you can pass filenames to commands ... here we pass filenames ({}) to mv03:06
edbiankinja-sheep: It's a netbook and there is no extended battery.  Also it only lasts 1 hr03:06
ae86-drifter-f will overwrite, if you dont specify -i or -f it will make a new file and append something to it, not overwrite03:06

rahdukekinja-sheep: i just found this blurb "  I'm running a " mkfs.ext4 -L sdx -cc /dev/sdx "  on each drive which takes well over 30 hours per drive. " does that sound right?03:18
unopae86-drifter,  -f is helpful when you permissions dictate that mv prompt you for overwriting, in which case, it doesn't.  e.g. the destination file is not owned by you but you are still able to write to the directory03:18
david___what folder do packages install to by defult and can I change it?03:20
kinja-sheeprahduke: Well, the -c is for "Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system. If this option is specified twice, then a slower read-write test is used instead of a fast read-only test."03:20

HazRPGscunizi_:  this is the layout of my partitions, / = 15GB (ext3), /boot = 512MB (ext3), /home = 50GB (ext3), I also have a swap of 2GB, and 3 ntfs partitions (one for XP, the others are for programs and backups)03:56

paulo7878kinja i found it, thanks very very much have a nice 2010, lets reboot to teste, bye03:57
luisgmarinescunizi_: yeah03:57
HazRPGscunizi_: if I did a reinstall, format / and /boot, and keep /home (and the rest) intact... am I right in thinking that? As I don't want to lose the data inside my home directory... I don't mind losing my settings.03:57
scunizi_HazRPG: ok.. should be easy.. on reinstall choose manual partitioning and then name and choose the same partitions you currently have setup.. format only the / .. /boot .. leaving the rest untouched..03:58
ezra14luis: ok, i'm back.03:58
jondwarfshould I use jfs on a netbook? I hear it's better for low-ressource machines. or should I stick with ext3?03:58

hareshwhen i was updating my kenranal my computer shutdown and when ever i start my computer it gose to the shell mode03:58

ezra14luisgmarine: pidgin, on windows xp. i have ubuntu up right now04:00

luisgmarineezra14: sweet that works04:00
mezquitalesigius, can you boot up to 9.10?04:01
luisgmarineezra14: ok, open up terminal and type in "sudo lshw -C network" without the quotes04:01
scunizi_HazRPG: well.. it really depends on the programs.. a lot of configs are in your /home partition.. so it really depends on which configs you're talking about.04:01
mezquitalesigmab3ta, can you boot up to 9.10?04:01
HazRPGmezquitale: Hmmm, I haven't tried grub2 yet (unless its in 9.10's update procedure)...04:01
HazRPGmezquitale: should I just merge my /boot and swap together?04:02
sigmab3tamezquitale: not to the one installed04:02
scunizi_HazRPG: no.. you could merge your /boot and / together though04:02
HazRPGscunizi_: Couldn't even if I wanted to lol, it's the way the partitions are set up, either its merge /boot with the swap, or merge it with my XP partition lol04:03
scunizi_HazRPG: and if you do that then / doesn't need to be any larger then what it is now.. which is pretty big for /04:03
ezra14luisgmarine: ok, i did that, but then it says password for ezra, and it won't let me type right next to it, so i have to press enter, and then it gives me like a second to type in my password, which isn't enough time04:03

Some_PersonDoes upgrading to 9.10 also upgrade to GRUB 2?04:03
luisgmarineezra14: ok when it asks you for the password just type in your regular user password04:03
HazRPGscunizi_: yeah I know its pretty big, but I thought 15GB was just to be on the safe side04:03
mezquitaleHazRPG, if youre going to do a fresh install just get rid of /boot and add the free space to /, if you have everything installed and running just leave it as is and hopefully the bug in grub2 will be fixed soon04:03

mezquitaleHazRPG, some space is used to create the partition, you wont actually get 2 gigs of space since you need some of that space to create the filesystem04:10

devoI bought tech support from Canonical but I can't find the phone number or email I'm supposed to email to get support from them.04:16
devodooglus_, change the boot order.04:16
scunizi_dooglus_: if the system is asking you to reboot then say yes.. after it posts remove the usb stick and let the new system boot.. after that you can plug it back in and use gparted to format and remove the boot flag04:17
alex_mayorgais there a way to check HD for badblocks and mark them during ubuntu install04:17
HazRPGscunizi_: See I was introduced to Gnome first (with Red Hat 7 I think it was, we installed it as a project for college when that version had just come out), then saw KDE 3.x a while back, and really didn't like the aesthetics of it04:17

HazRPGscunizi_: yeah I seen the initial release of KDE 4, doesn't look to bad... but it reminds me too much of vista, and so far I've managed to clock up about 2-3hrs maximum of vista time... and that was basically running the laptop, hating it getting drivers to try and nudge back down to XP/ubuntu04:20

scunizi_HazRPG: you should load up virtualbox and then put the latest kubuntu on it for a test drive..04:21

hiexpoteage type in your terminal sudo autoremove {programname}04:28
bastidrazorpwnedulongtime: that is comparing apples to oranges..04:28

richardMHi, can anyone walk me through partitioning a HD that already has windows that I want to keep?: I am installing from a CD and am at the partition stage and only have advanced option to partition manually offered other than wipe the whole HD (ubuntu crashed on older machine and reinstalling on newer one), thank you. (I need to size down the windows partition to minimum and make a new partition for ubuntu).05:17
wolterwhere does evolution store its files?05:17
slinkeeysorry..  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m6489fd8d05:17
darerichardM, I used gparted to make my windows partition smaller first05:18
wolterI changed some things in my home dir and now its asking me for trhe whole setup again05:18
jcprichardM: Have you considered using wubi?05:18
DocPlatypuswolter: $HOME/.evolution and possibly some others elsewhere05:18
richardMwhat is wubi?05:18
=== administrator is now known as Guest43159
slinkeeywubi lets you run it under windows.05:18
DocPlatypusI recently did the same thing and I just added back those accounts05:18
jcprichardM: It allows you to install Ubuntu and Windows at the same time, without losing any Windows data from your hard disk05:18
slinkeeyRun ubuntu under windows05:18
jcpslinkeey: well, that's not technically accurate, as ubuntu runs by itself05:19
richardMis it not better to install side by side on the HD?05:19
richardMthis is what i did in the past.05:19
jcprichardM: You could do that. Pretty much the main advantage of wubi is the simplicity thing. The only real disadvantage is that disk access is slightly slower05:19
richardMjcp: I prefer speed if I can have it: can you step me through it?05:20
slinkeeyjcp, but isn't windows kernel still hogging cpu cycles and mem?05:20
jcprichardM: then I can't really help you, I've never installed ubuntu to a hard disk that wasn't already partitioned05:20
richardMok, thanks anyway.05:21
jcpslinkeey: no, ubuntu runs by itself. It's a dual-boot setup. The only difference is, ubuntu has to have two file system drivers to access its data (ntfs, with ext3 on top) instead of just one, so disk access is a bit slower05:21

Hunt2how can i chek my cpu? command??05:38
Mr_Lordiknuck887: are you like me and just too lazy to fix it or have you looked for a fix yet?05:38
millertimek1a2m3no offense, and I ask this in all honesty-do you guys think that ubuntu is watered down in any way in terms of capability in order to reach a more simple user base?05:38
kinja-sheepsurmandal: Did you check under Mouse preferences though?05:38
zetherooexodus_ms: my USD dongle is working ... it connects and I am online ...05:39
exodus_mszetheroo, checking to see if your mobile broadband card is supported in Ubutu05:39

jaqquefirst off, and possibly mopst importantly, ubuntu is not debian. so all my knowledge is useless. i have a system, i am in the admin and adm groups. i set up wireless networking apparently for my _own_ account, but not for anyone else.05:39

Khisanthmillertimek1a2m3: not really05:39
Mr_Lordiknuck887: ok. thanks.05:39

Khisanthmillertimek1a2m3: if I wanted to be silly I could still go and build everything myself or somewhere between that and building nothing :)05:40
zetherooexodus_ms: yes ... but what will checking if its supported do towards that?05:40
surmandalkinja-sheep, in 9.04 it was working, after upgrading to karmik it is not working05:40
Mr_Lordimillertimek1a2m3: i think it has everything most people need in a way that is not watered down. would you call OSX watered down?05:40
slinkeeykinja-sheep, Well I don't want to bug you too much...  You seam to keep yourself pretty busy without my help....  You have a great day and a happy new year if i don't run into you before then.05:40
millertimek1a2m3Khisanth, what were you talking about with building everything?05:40
sasori2501any vbox users here? having trouble installing on a fresh install.  and vbox chat is useless.05:41
Khisanthit means it everything that can be done with any other distro can still be done with ubuntu05:41

millertimek1a2m3Mr_Lordi, well no. I mean... i've talked to some "purists"/people that think that people that don't have extensive knowledge of the internals of linux shouldn't use it05:42

srvc3101: how to find out?06:54
c3101srv, sudo lspci -v | less06:54
rwwprefrontal: you need to upgrade to 9.04 and then upgrade to 9.10, so use update-manager. No, you shouldn't lose data during the upgrade, but backuping your data first is recommended.06:55
rwwprefrontal: sorry, mistab06:55

mechcozmos00p: you can always choose not to install ports when you do a netinstall.  the other advantage is my CD burner can only write ~100MB of good data before dying, and a netinstall cd is ~60MB :)07:20
kandjarprobably over samba.. but that doesn't give me a solution :)07:20

zaRonen: BlackFate_ removing my battery. wouldnt it reset my cmos etc and hence kind of damage my laptop?07:58
bastidrazorSingAlong1: use your MAC address to set them. makes internal networking much easier if the IP's are the same all the time07:58
llutzza: it won't harm your laptop in any way07:58
BlackFate_za, no07:58
superbokiairtonix: how to mount such nautilus connection to the filesystem?07:58
BlackFate_za, it uses internal battery for bios07:59
bastidrazorza: no, it wiould be like letting your battery run out of juice. no harm done.. i actually had to do that today.. a resume kernel paniced... again07:59
RonenZa, nope. Another battery handles cmos/BIOS07:59
airtonixsuperboki, nautilus wont be able to mount it like you can with something like a usb drive, but you can do it with something else called fuse-ssh07:59
superbokiairtonix: sshfs ?07:59
airtonixsuperboki, or it might be called ssh-fuse...not sure. yes sshfs too,07:59
George_EEverytime I boot Ubuntu, I get a warning saying my battery is broken - which it isn't.08:00
superbokiairtonix: ok, it did work with sshfs, only remote symlinks are all dead08:00
LogicFanmy volume applet slider has stopped working.  the slider no longer controls any volume in any application.  but, if i open volume control, the sliders work08:00
airtonixsuperboki, actually, take that back, after mounting the ssh server with nautilus you might like to look in ~/.gvfs08:01
superbokiairtonix: checking08:01
kaustavhi everyone08:01
airtonixsuperboki, i think it is where nautilus mounts various things for you08:01
LogicFanGeorge_E, how old is your battery?  lithium-ion batteries (commonly used in laptops) degrade over time.  they generally get about 1-1.5 years of fully charged life08:01
LogicFanthe ubuntu dialog will try to guess what the remaining charge is with a percentage08:02
George_EIt is 1.5 years old.08:02
superbokiairtonix: cool stuff, thanks!08:02
jstDoes anyonen know how I can get Xorg *NOT* to ignore a custom xorg.conf I'm trying to write for it?08:02
George_EBut it works fine.08:02
LogicFanGeorge_E, yeah, it is probably on the way out.  it'll keep a brief charge, but it definitely won't keep a full charge like it did when it was new08:02
George_EBut it does...08:03
AlanFanyone know where can I find a complete list of usable rxvt keysym's ?08:03
jtajiGeorge_E: what does the message say exactly?08:03
airtonixsuperboki, just take note that gfvs might not behave as expeced with various non standard server configurations (ie, some servers will limit your conncurrent connections to a low number, or kill the connection on their end if there is no activity from your end within a timeframe) gfvs does not send noop msgs to keep the connection alive.08:03
LogicFando a battery test.  completely deplete your battery, let it charge fully and then see if it lasts as long as the original specs08:03
LogicFani bet it will not08:03
LogicFanit's just not the natural of lithium-ion batteries08:04
LogicFan*nature08:04
George_ESomething about it reporting only being 37% full when on AC.08:04
superbokiairtonix: i see08:04
George_ECant remember all of it.08:04
LogicFanGeorge_E, yeah, it is telling you that fully charged, it only has 37% of its power08:04
zaBlackFate_: so, should i drain my laptop battery completely or kully charge it before storing it for such large duration?08:05
bastidrazorGeorge_E: type acpi -Vf in a terminal08:05
pitputhi, when is the next ubuntu release?08:05
LogicFanpitput, one just came out, it will be another 6mo or so until the next one08:05
bastidrazorapril 2010 pitput08:05
airtonixsuperboki, if you come across such remote servers then gfvs will cause you some frustrations08:05
George_EIm not on Ubuntu atm.08:05
pitputok. thank you guys so much08:05
pitputthank you LogicFan and bastidrazor08:05
superbokiairtonix: its my home box, but all i did was 'apt install ssh'08:06
BlackFate_za, draining would be the best thing to do08:06
LogicFanGeorge_E, look up the rated mAh and compare it with the output of the command bastidrazor posted08:06
jtajialways avoid draining lithium-ion fully!08:06
airtonixsuperboki, should be fine then (i'm referring to servers other people setup on places like shared hosting)08:07
jtajiza: best thing is to somewhere between around 40-80% charge08:07
George_EI did. I drained it - recharged it - works just as long as when I bought it.08:07
jtajiza: best thing is to store it somewhere between around 40-80% charge08:07
LogicFanjtaji, laptops won't completely drain the battery.  they will always shut off before it gets to that point08:07
bastidrazorLogicFan: acpi -V will actually give the full capacity amount.. but if he isn't on Ubuntu.. he wastes my time.08:07

llutzyou can handle batteries as careful as you want, after a while they will lose capacity and finally die08:08
George_EYa, but this one works.08:08
LogicFanGeorge_E, well, when you get on your ubuntu machine, that command will tell you what the battery design capacity is and what the last full capacity was08:08
George_EOk.08:08
George_EThanks.08:09
LogicFan1-2yrs is about the entire life span of a modern lithium-ion laptop battery08:09
LogicFanso, if you have had it for 1.5yrs already, it's going to start degrading quickly08:09

airtonixmechcozmo, then you manually run swap on after you put the drive in the slot08:36
mechcozmoairtonix: drive is in the slot always... will it only check for presence of the drive when it is first needed?08:37
airtonixmechcozmo, have i missed something ? drive is always there ? on boot up ? if so then swap file on the drive will be used when the drive comes up.08:38
=== kb is now known as Guest10244
kaveh_ /ehcop ehpcjhelp ei need somebody help08:38
mechcozmoairtonix: i can't start up from this drive, so i don't know at what point the system recognizes it is present.  therefore, if the system tries to start the swap system early and can't find the drive... there is a problem.  but if the system only checks for the drive's presence when it needs to swap out, then that will be late enough that i know it will be present08:39
mechcozmoairtonix: does that concern make sense?08:40
JDahlI have a US keyboard and I would like to map other characters (from a non-US keymap) to my keypad.  How can I do that?08:40
airtonixmechcozmo, not entirely. because drives are supposed to be available before swap files/partitions required for use are initialised from my experience.08:40

alankilaIs there something broken with karmic's pptp/ppp? I have two systems here, both running karmic, the other 64-bit, the other 32-bit. The 64-bit version has same pptp config as far as I can tell to the 32-bit one... But the 32-bit one gets a lost of "packet lost or reordered" messages, even for the simplest imaginable requests like ping of just 84 bytes.09:11
alankilaI've tearing my hair out for this one for a while but can't figure out why the two systems would be different... also the negotiated mtu values are different between the two, the working one gets ppp mtu of 1496, the other goes to 1400 and still fails to work properly09:11

distaticaWhat's the name of the program that ubuntu uses to setup multiple monitors? Just Display Preferences is shown, but I swear this is an app (or very similar to another app) with another name..11:08
lorenzosuActionParsnip: So apart from swap, what percentages would you assign to /home and / ?11:08
bazhangdistatica, xrandr11:08
erUSULeddym: by the way deluge can move the storage of torrents "on the fly"11:08
kinja-sheepPsinetic: Ubuntu is based on Debian. That mean you should be talking in #debian channel. Makes senses? No. That's why we don't support derivatives. :)11:08
ActionParsniplorenzosu: 7Gb /, 1xRAM for swap, rest for /home11:08
distaticabazhang: perfect, and this is a gui tool to that, I can find it now, thanks11:08

bazhangdistatica, /msg ubottu xrandr for more info11:09
lorenzosuActionParsnip: 7Gb seems 'small'.. but I may be wrong?11:09
Psinetic*sigh* ok, screw it. i'm just gonna throw ubuntu away then. i'm sick of constantly asking for support because the stupid os is ALWAYS broken, and i have to fix what should ALREADY work. i never get support i ask for anyways, i sit here for hours asking and no one ever helps me. i've been asking for help on this particular problem for nearly a month and this is the first time i've ever heard this11:09

eddymerUSUL, cool, now i have a better question..... i used gag bootloader to conifgure mbr.. however, it removed the mbr on my internal drive... i have a working mbr on a cloned external usb drive... how can i restore my internal mbr from the external usb11:10
lorenzosuActionParsnip: You use only official software or also do much compile etc?11:10
dayawhere are firefox temp files11:10
ActionParsniplorenzosu: only the official repos and a few ppas11:10
erUSULeddym: what is "gag bootloader" ?11:10
eddymerUSUL, gag booatloader allows you to add OS to boot via gui11:11
erUSULeddym: never used it so i can not help with it ...11:11
eddymerUSUL, however it did not work...11:11
Psineticthis reminds me of Dell...you just get the runaround until you finally throw the piece of crap away. >_>11:11

SlartPrototypeX29A: is it a new install?13:15
llutzgigasoft: i.e. devede, dvdauthor13:15
PrototypeX29ASlart: it is defenitely some bigger problem, as i had to add the user to /etc/sudoers to be able to sudo13:15
PrototypeX29ASlart: yes, it is13:15
c3101MindSpark, bad sectors has nothing to do with the filesystem, it's got to do with the pysical disk, it's independant of the file system on that disk13:15
gigasoftthank's13:15
MindSparkc3101, ok, is there a tool I can use on linux that checks for that ? and how do I avoid writing on them in the future ?13:16

extremedevilzHello13:17
extremedevilzUbuntu : )13:17
SlartPrototypeX29A: I'm not sure if the user manager is involved in creating the user during the install.. probably not13:17

PrototypeX29ASlart: i called it explicitly :)13:17
extremedevilzlooks nice and good13:17

c3101MindSpark, run badblocks13:18
extremedevilzit is too big13:18
ActionParsnipextremedevilz: sounds like you need to either install video drivers or simply set a higher resolution13:18
dnivraextremedevilz: right click -> stretch icon13:18
c3101MindSpark, then give that as input to mkfs to not use that bad sectors13:18
apersonextremedevilz, right-click > stretch icon13:18
PrototypeX29ASlart: yes, but i tried to add another user, which did not work13:18
SlartPrototypeX29A: but I thought that adding your user to the admin group took care of the sudo problem..13:18
c3101MindSpark, also MAKE A BACKUP, and go buy a new drive13:18
PrototypeX29ASlart: now it is the first user (created during installation), which is affected13:18
SlartPrototypeX29A: perhaps it's some kind of group you need to be part of to be able to create new users13:19
MindSparkc3101, :) already done that13:19
Strumexactly c310113:19
PrototypeX29ASlart: no i did not add it to the admin group, i added the name to /etc/sudoers13:19
SlartPrototypeX29A: but then I would expect the user manager to throw up some kind of error13:19
PrototypeX29ASlart: maybe i should at it to the groups13:19
FloodBot1!netsplit13:19
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit13:19

c3101TcP, sounds like  local filesystem permissions13:33
PrototypeX29Allutz: i don't see the use of that, as the manager shows all users and groups not only the user currently logged in13:33

alankilaRiotingPacifist: I made conftest.c by downloading your configure log and removing the | character on each line of the program, so I got pure C source. I have no idea why configure adds such an annoying extra "| " at start of every line, but it does.16:01

bambam_and it is my gateway too18:05
icerootbambam_: then its ok that there is the adrress of the modem18:05
brantwhat to talk about18:05
icerootbambam_: what is the current problem?18:05
slibuntuphani, did somehting go wrong when you installed vmplayer?18:06
bambam_It just doesnt let me use network connection for any application whether it is firefox or system update or apt-get or anything, I can't even try trace route command18:06
bambam_mka: it just allows ping thats all after getting connected18:06
phanislibuntu:actually i tried installing vmplayer 3 but it didn't work. So my vmplayer doesn't open at all. So I tried uninstalling it but now it doesn't work at all18:06

alankilaOne that is not a rectangle.18:09

Soundaholicso some space on each of the monitor will be left blank?18:10

mkaInsomniaCity, there was something like compiz-check back in the day, google for it18:10
daftykinsSoundaholic: i've done that before, the second screen kinda went a bit funny. i find nvidia twinview easier to operate with identical resolution screens, however you can use it configured as two separate X servers easily.18:10
MrKeunerhow can I add a new user with an encrypted home directory?18:10
bambam_mister_roboto: then how does it ping google.com ?18:10
alankilaSoundaholic: no, the monitors will be fully used. Only that the pointer for instance jumps when you move it between screens vertically because of the differing resolutions.18:10
phanislibuntu:any more ideas which i can try in uninstalling the existing version18:10
mkaInsomniaCity, otherwise type "compiz --replace" on terminal and check the messages that come out18:10
evaluateif i remove a package using 'apt-get remove' it removes the package but leaves configuration files there. I can avoid this by using apt-get remove, but if i use 'apt-get autoremove' to unistall a bunch of packages there's no way of removing the configuration files. Now my question is, if i uninstalled a bunch of packges using apt-get autoremove is there anyway to automatically remove the configuration files of all of that packag18:11

guntbertmister_roboto: please listen: one call of sudo firefox *can* screw your settings - so please don't remommend that18:14

Gaming4JCso my question is, how do I get grub to detect my keyboard using the lsmod thing? :)18:14
mkafwiffo, what do you want to achieve by doing that?18:14
fwiffomka: doing what?18:14
llutzbambam_: are you sure your router is OK?18:14
inferno_daulXEONGaming4JC - do you have usb devices turned on in your bios?18:15
mkafwiffo, how do you login into your machine then when you throw gdm away?18:15
fwiffomka: /bin/login?18:15
bambam_llutz: yes, because I am using it right now with Opensuse and Konversation !18:15
erUSULinferno_daulXEON: try this then « sudo xorg -configure » that generates a xorg.conf that you can then modify18:15
guntbertand mister_roboto for testing the connection there are many apps better suited than firefox anyway18:15
Gaming4JCinferno_daulXEON: yes and it works in cmos, on windows, and in ubuntu. Just not at grub. :/18:15

erUSULsteveccc: pentium dual core <<< what generation of pentium ?18:16
mkafwiffo, anyway which sound are you referring to then?18:16
fwiffomka: not an option, i just want to disable this clusterfuck. but when i do, i have no sound.18:16
Gaming4JCemmy: Sounds like it, but I've never had any problems with Yahoo Games before... You sure Java is properly installed?18:16
daftykinssteveccc: i run an E2810 2GHz pentium dualcore in my file server, i bought it thinking it was a c2d embarassingly, but it performs well and is quite low power with speedstep enabled. they're very capable processors imo18:16
inferno_daulXEONGaming4JC - i thought it was worth asking. If you don't have it turned on your keyboard will work when in BIOS and activate when the OS loads but not during the grub menu.18:17
mkafwiffo, is your language friendly to my kids?18:17
* Gaming4JC ponders grub bug...18:17

daftykinsmatteo1990: yeah you can use NFS / SFTP etc for same host sharing i suppose19:22
mkaFatherBadTouch, are you trying to mount a CD/DVD on drive B while you have a LiveCD on drive A?19:23

paulus68daftykins: but how would I use wireshark to check port 5001 and why it's blocking on my server?19:25
mkaFatherBadTouch, are you inserting a data CD, audio CD or a blank CD?19:25
FatherBadTouchmka: blank cd19:25
mkaFatherBadTouch, can you try inserting a data CD?19:26
daftykinspaulus68: it's a GUI tool really, you might be able to install it and X forward SSH to the router PC and run it on another machine over the network - but otherwise i think tcpdump is the best for that - but i have no experience with it19:26
adamkexkonman: yeah, assuming you don't run windows or any other os, you should split your harddrive at least 15gb for the root partition ( / ), 20 is better, 1gb for the swap partition, and the rest for your home partition :)19:26
adminewbRegarding wifi drivers: the device model I'm looking at has linux driver source at the mfg website, but how to tell if it's 32 bit only, or can be compiled as a 64 bit native driver. Just a matter of build switches?19:26
konmanadamkex: opensuse does that19:26
paulus68daftykins: I know it's a gui I have installed it on my windows to see what I can do with it19:26
FatherBadTouchmka: it opened it in a browser19:27
mkaFatherBadTouch, imho, you cannot mount a blank cd19:27
mkaFatherBadTouch, then it works19:27
daftykinspaulus68: yes but on the router is where i'd run it in order to sniff what's coming in and out of that system ;)19:27
FatherBadTouchmka: so why doesn't it recognize a blank dvd?19:27
adamkexkonman: i have never ran opensuse :P i sometimes use ubuntu, arch, and gentoo, so many times i have to do a lot of the stuff myself19:27

Guest39526Blehk, do this in a terminal : sudo apt-get purge apache221:15
Homely_Girlguntbert, *mwah* u not available for marriage are you? :P21:15
FlannelBlehk: Purging removes config files as well, which is what you're doing21:15
guntbertFatherBadTouch: you said xchat-gnome? use xchat instead21:15
Guest39526Blehk, it'll log that the config was removed, when you reinstall it, it'll reinstall the config files21:15
mhouckfatherbadtouch: got it... anyone else know if you can default pulseaudio to pass all sound through the optical port for the receiver to decode?21:15

tertittenis there a firewall installed by default, and in case there is how do I configure it trough GUI ?22:10
trismfroglet: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the new menu list, but you don't edit that file. The files to edit are in /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d22:10

SirCharlesSo I installed a commandline system, it works great, but what is a computer these days without X and a WM so I installed wmii since it's my favorite and then I installed firefox really the only program I needed X for. My problem / question is. Firefox is running slow as can be and locks up all the time. What does firefox need besides the recommended packages to run flawlessly22:11
inferno_daulXEONtrism I have had issues with the command line updating... I prefer to still edit the config files22:11
|Dreams|tertitten, no but you can install gufw to enable and configure it22:11
tertitten|Dreams|, thank you22:11
trisminferno_daulXEON: that is fine, but every grub/kernel update, your manual edits will be destroyed22:11
inferno_daulXEONtrism cp to grub.conf.backup22:12
funkyHatSirCharles: try uninstalling firefox-gnome-support22:12
BenG92SirCharles if i were you, i'd use google chrome. I always find it much more quicker than firefox22:12
trisminferno_daulXEON: yep, I suppose that would work too, it really isn't that difficult once you get used to it though (unless you want your menu items in a certain order)22:12
frogletkarmic has been bad news for this pond22:13
ardchoilleSirCharles: if you're comfortable with a command line system, have you thought about using a cli browser like elinks, links2 or lynx?22:13
inferno_daulXEONtrism don't get me wrong... it works great. unless your multibooting22:13
RedLanceIs there anyway to remote into a box and run dosemu?  I installed it on a box without X and it wouldn't run, so I'm assuming it won't run over, say, ssh...22:13
SirCharlesardchoille I use those for most things but some sites just arn't the same without images22:14
inferno_daulXEONfroglet are you more of a linux tadpole? is this pond too big for you??22:14
trisminferno_daulXEON: well, other os's are detected automatically with the os prober, and any that aren't can be put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom; so it would be the same as editing grub.cfg, since whatever you put in there is just copied over22:14
ardchoilleSirCharles: True. There's also Google Chrome, I use it daily and it's much faster22:14
frogletwell it is only the karmic pond that is causing me grief, I think I need to stick with Jaunty and hope the next release addresses the problems22:15
inferno_daulXEONtrism maybe it just hates me.22:15
inferno_daulXEONfroglet yea sorry man grub2 is here to stay22:15

jjgalvezSirCharles: did you install the google repository? if you did you should be able to install chrome with apt22:16
inferno_daulXEONfroglet...really? That was one of the things that worked for me.... though I had to add the channels to the sond panel and turn them up22:17
SirCharlesdidn't know there was a chrome repo, just tested it out the other day for the first time22:17
frogletinferno_daulXEON: yes I did that with the remix but it is not working here22:17
funkyHatinferno_daulXEON: SirCharles has already said that he has a system with no gnome, so synaptic won't be installed. Besides, aptitude does just as good a job of managing packages as synaptic (in my opinion a better job)22:18

VirusTBthe more watts a speaker uses means the louder it is?22:42
adminewbnot so surprisingly either, the tech support lines at the device and vendor were not so well informed22:43
frogletthere is a way to start a vnc from inetd, I think it is in the Ubuntu Community documentation22:43
BenG92VirusTB basically, and the more energy it consumes22:43
frogletif you do it that way then you still have access if the machine reboots22:43
g3org3shum maybe i try reboot and see what happens :)22:44

adminewbRobotCow it's an open source driver evidently, and cruising through the makefile it was not plain what one should do to build for 64 bit native23:11
Milpepinky one sec23:11
llutzepinky: paste shows up here23:11

llutzepinky: http://pastebin.com/m6c292cc623:11
adminewbRobotCow but if I understand you, then having source to the driver in principle would make it possible to build it that way.23:12
LovecraftSirCharles: screen just makes additional console screens to use.  One can also detatch a screen to the backgroud and logout and later log back in and rerattach the screen running in the bg.23:12

baz_so how do I get rid of cups without aptitude removing the whole xfce desktop????????23:45
tritiumbaz_: the xfce desktop you see being removed is simply a meta-package.  It won't remove the actual packages.23:46
erUSULbaz_: why do you want to uninstall cups ?23:46
mdkOk so i have an old CRT monitor im running karmic and dual booting with xp as my slave xp runs at 800x600 and ubuntu before the graphics card is installed runs at 800x600, however when i install my graphics card gForce 5500 it sticks my resolution at 640x480, i have tried editing my xorg.conf i've tried adding modelines ive trawled google for weeks but i just cant find a fix23:47
baz_well i read that cups has a lot of security holes, also i wont use it as i never use a printer.23:47
erUSULmdk: tried with « gksudo nvidia-settings » ?23:47
erUSULbaz_: just disable it on boot? « sudo update-rc.d -f cups remove »23:48
baz_mdk: what graphics driver are you using?23:48

panther009Hi room23:50
mdknightfrog, i installed 173. whatever through ENVY23:50
nightfrogmdk: envy sucks23:50
nightfrogmdk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5086971 use that23:51
epinkyMilp: you're welcome and good luck23:51
panther009does ubuntu have a firewall23:51
erUSULmdk: use « gksudo nvidia-settings » to configure the screen then use the save X configuration file button23:51
erUSUL!firewall | panther00923:51
ubottupanther009: Ubuntu, like any other linux  distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist23:51
panther009Iwell I was just trying to locate it from the DNOME desktop23:52
panther009GNOME23:52
nightfrogmdk: i have install many different nvidias including that one from that guide and they work perfectly. envy and ubuntus drivers arent the best ways.23:52
Jeruvywhat is a good firewall log tool/program?23:52
panther009I cannot find it in in the menu23:52
erUSULpanther009: you want a graphical one? install gufw23:52
mdkyeh nightfrog i will give it a go if it works i will kiss you23:52
panther009In Fedora it had it23:52
panther009ok23:53
nightfrogmdk: do EXACTLY as it says. dont skip steps cuz you think you dont need to23:53
panther009Gufw? is a seperate firewall?23:53
erUSULpanther009: is a gui for ufw23:53
mdkyeh i'll do it to the letter23:53
Jeruvypanther009: just a gui to ufw, you could use firestarter also.23:53
baz_erUSUL: i was hoping to uninstall it to save disk space, so i can turn into a image, just in case i screw my install up., yesterday i tried installing compiz with the xfce desktop and eventually i lost the keyboard in various applications and all my windows lost their borders.23:54
panther009ok..well I am very new to this :)23:54
panther009I had used Fedora in the past and liked it very much..but it was too slow for me23:54
baz_erUSUL: so, i am trying to get rid of some software so i can make a compressed image of my current install to fall back on in case something like yesterday happens again.23:55
erUSULbaz_: then as tritium said the xfce-desktop is just a metapackage23:55
panther009how do I install firestarter in Ubuntu23:55
