| Italian_Plumber1 | doesn't look like rtorrent was incluced in the updates: http://pastebin.com/m7dc1327d | 00:02 |
| funkyHat | LjL: I know it's possible to do it, I remember setting the volume step, I just can't find the option | 00:02 |
| my_haz | how do i map the page-forward and page-back buttons on my keyboard? How do i find out what those keys actually are? | 00:02 |
| funkyHat | I've searched gconf a couple of times | 00:02 |
| LjL | funkyHat, the first bug report *mentions* the relevant gconf option | 00:03 |
| nightsjammies | Do I want it to Create an ISO or BIN/CUE image, create disc structure, or Only convert film files to compliant MPE files?' | 00:03 |
| funkyHat | LjL: oh! | 00:03 |
| mercutio42 | I need to talk to someone that understands grub2. I suspect there's something wrong with my grunb.cfg file | 00:03 |
| LjL | funkyHat: it also says it doesn't work anymore, though. | 00:03 |
| chuckmurphy1 | acicula: would I be better off in the forum? | 00:03 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, you could see if some other repositories might have a newer version. Perhaps Mediubuntu? You can also compile a newer version from source, but that's less convenient. | 00:04 |
| funkyHat | LjL: great, that worked ⡈) | 00:04 |
| funkyHat | I am just rubbish at searching, apparently | 00:04 |
| acicula | chuckmurphy1: probably, or try google, afaik its a bogstandard chip with the same issue of installing it | 00:04 |
| LjL | funkyHat: really ;( | 00:04 |
| mercutio42 | more specifically where should the "set root = (hd0,x) point to?? | 00:05 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, the thing is that 8.04 is pretty old at this point, and they're mostly going to do security and bug-fix updates, not feature-add updates. | 00:05 |
| chuckmurphy1 | ok. thanks anyway | 00:05 |
| acicula | !tls | 00:05 |
| arand | Geoffry: look at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Splash%20Images%20&%20Theming | 00:05 |
| acicula | !lts | Italian_Plumber1 | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Italian_Plumber1: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 00:05 |
| acicula | so 8.04 is not "old | 00:05 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | zoidfarb: can you point me to information on how to use other repositories? I'm not sure what I'm looking for. ... and your'e saying that they're likely only doing security updates on hardy even though it's LTS? | 00:06 |
| acicula | but it will not receive major package updates beyong security fixes, its ment to be stable, not up to date | 00:06 |
| mercutio42 | my hard drice has two partitions only: sda1 and sda2=swap. Do that reads (hd0,0) and (hd0,1) or instead (hd0,1) and (hd0,2)?? | 00:06 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, that's exactly what they mean by LTS. It will have long-term support to be stable and secure, but not have the newest, fanciest features. | 00:07 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | oic | 00:07 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, let me see if I can find you some other repos to check. | 00:07 |
| === cpg|brb is now known as cpg | ||
| Italian_Plumber1 | and to use those I just put them in my /etc/apt/sources.list file and update? | 00:07 |

| CountDown | maco: Did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbiquityEncryptedFilesystems ? Seems like LUKS + LVM is possible from the standard installation CD with a little massaging. | 00:08 |

| h00k | why might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card. This just started happening, I haven't changed anything. I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back, I'd rather not use fusion-icon as a bandaid to this problem | 00:08 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, yeah. Although maybe check on their website first to see if they have what you need, because there's no point in adding tons of extra repos if it's not going to have what you want. What version of rTorrent did you want? | 00:08 |
| zoidfarb | http://linuxappfinder.com/package/rtorrent | 00:09 |
| maco | CountDown: you're right. criminey thats complicated. i said the desktop cd didnt support it since it didnt have that stuff installed | 00:09 |
| Valinux | . | 00:09 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | I've already talked to the folks in the rtorrent channel and they say that this feature is available in verion 086 | 00:09 |
| CountDown | maco: Cool, because I'm having trouble understanding how to do it from the alternate without horking my /home dir. :) | 00:09 |
| LinuX2half | how do I resize my partition by half? | 00:10 |
| Valinux | lol | 00:10 |
| maco | CountDown: alternate should have an option to keep /home instead of formatting it... | 00:10 |
| LinuX2half | I'm using the Live CD and I don't know how to read the space | 00:10 |
| Valinux | you guys should be worried about kernel updates.. really.. | 00:10 |
| CountDown | maco: Hm, I didn't see that, but I may not have looked everywhere. | 00:10 |
| LinuX2half | I'm trying to use half the partition for NTFS and the other for ext3 | 00:11 |
| Slix | Hmm.. I need to split a file into parts. Any good program to do that? | 00:11 |
| CountDown | maco: I couldn't really figure out how to get the alternate installer to recognize the root, home, and swap on the encrypted disk. | 00:11 |
| sync3times | Slix, spit | 00:11 |
| Slix | 7zip! | 00:11 |

| maco | *bot? | 00:12 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, I'm not having much luck on a repo, but I found this, which should work for you: http://www.howtoforge.com/compile-rtorrent-from-svn-ubuntu-8.04-hardy-heron | 00:12 |
| sync3times | srry | 00:12 |
| maco | sync3times: nevermind | 00:12 |
| maco | Slix: sorry | 00:12 |
| Slix | What? | 00:12 |
| Slix | A bot came into #ubuntu to ask a question? | 00:12 |
| maco | Slix: you responded so quick to sync3times i thought you were a bot :P | 00:12 |
| CountDown | Someone just failed the Turing test. | 00:13 |
| Slix | I didn't respond to him. xD | 00:13 |
| sync3times | Slix, why do you need to split it up, to span media boundries? | 00:13 |
| Slix | Yep. My flash drive is only 2.1gb | 00:13 |
| Slix | The file is 8gb | 00:13 |
| sync3times | Slix, the split command will break up a file into smaller chunks that can be glued back together with the cat command | 00:14 |
| Slix | This file is going onto windows. | 00:14 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | thanks, zoid... I'll try that. | 00:14 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, you don't have to get the source from SVN, though. You can download a .tar.gz of the 0.8.6 release | 00:14 |
| Geoffry | arand i read through that but i'm not very sure how to do it. i tried it but i didn't understand the instructions | 00:14 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | oh I can use SVN. I love SVN. | 00:14 |
| zoidfarb | Italian_Plumber1, I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not, but good luck, in any case | 00:15 |
| Slix | Gah | 00:15 |
| Slix | 7zip isn't appearing. | 00:15 |
| sync3times | Slix, same machine, or different machine. You can mount your windows onto your linux | 00:15 |
| Slix | Diff machine | 00:15 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | no certainly not sarcasm. I use svn to manage my music collection. Use it extensively at work. | 00:15 |
| sync3times | slix, networked? | 00:15 |
| acicula | Italian_Plumber1: rsync not practical? | 00:16 |
| LinuX2half | how do I resize my partition | 00:16 |
| LinuX2half | I want to have two partition | 00:16 |
| Valinux | LinuX2half, for what? | 00:16 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: you can use gparted | 00:16 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | svn is one of those extermely well thought out software projects that seems to be managed perfectly. | 00:16 |
| LinuX2half | I am using gparted | 00:16 |
| solifugus_ | Where is ExampleApplication.h ?? | 00:16 |
| luks_ | Valinux: for partitioning your harddisk | 00:16 |
| solifugus_ | On linux. | 00:16 |
| Thijs` | question, do you need to make a backup of the mbr record when you're dd-ing a drive ? | 00:16 |
| Slix | Gah | 00:16 |
| LinuX2half | But whenever I create another partition it gave me an error | 00:16 |
| Thijs` | *and which you want to restore later | 00:17 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | I like being able to track past changes and delete music from the HEAD revision without actually using it. | 00:17 |
| Slix | Where does 7zip show up after installation? | 00:17 |
| CountDown | Italian_Plumber1: I agree, though I'm thinking of switching over to git, or at least trying it out. Have you tried it? | 00:17 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: did you run gparted as root? | 00:17 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | using it = losing it | 00:17 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: if you're currently running from that partition, you will need to use a liveCD | 00:17 |
| Valinux | Slix, your joking right? | 00:17 |
| acicula | solifugus_: locate can help you find files, but im guessing it doesnt exist as its not provided by ubuntu, read the tutorial/book you are reading on where to find it? | 00:17 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: and partition from there. | 00:17 |
| LinuX2half | I'm am using the Live CD right now | 00:17 |
| luks_ | try gksu gparted | 00:17 |
| Slix | I'm rushing and panicking. :P | 00:17 |
| solifugus_ | acicula, locate cannot help because I just installed ogre | 00:17 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | git ..... is that version control? | 00:17 |
| acicula | solifugus_: updatedb | 00:17 |
| Thijs` | Italian_Plumber1 yes | 00:18 |
| obiwan_ | hi i'm back | 00:18 |
| LinuX2half | luks_: then? | 00:18 |
| CountDown | Italian_Plumber1: Yes. It's distributed version control. | 00:18 |
| acicula | or dpkg-query -L <package> i think will show you what files were installed where | 00:18 |
| Thijs` | Italian_Plumber1 see: http://git-scm.com/ | 00:18 |
| h00k | Slix: the binary is in /usr/bin, you can use it from the command line, or use file-roller | 00:18 |

| Ratizar | !multisupport | 00:19 |
| LinuX2half | I need to resized my partition to half | 00:19 |
| sync3times | Slix, python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()" will create a simple webserver on your linux machine, you could browse and grab the file onto windows | 00:19 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | what makes git better than svn? | 00:19 |
| LinuX2half | Format the allocate space to NTFS correct? | 00:19 |
| Ratizar | !mintsupport | 00:19 |
| ubottu | Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 00:19 |
| acicula | Italian_Plumber1: different approach, speed, best read a comparison | 00:19 |
| Slix | That sounds like a pretty odd solution. | 00:19 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: resize your current partition, and then create an NTFS partition on the blank space. | 00:19 |
| Geoffry | i just want to know how to edit my usplash theme, can someone please help me? | 00:19 |
| CountDown | Italian_Plumber1: I'm not sure if it is better. I have a lot of svn experience, only a little git experience. However, git is distributed, svn is not. | 00:19 |

| === NuclearFish-1 is now known as NuclearFish0 | ||
| LinuX2half | h00k: okay so I drag the blue box to half and then the gray area will be the NTFS partition right? | 00:20 |
| vlt | LinuX2half: Resize whatever is on that partition now. | 00:20 |
| blakkheim | Slix: why would you need one | 00:20 |
| h00k | Slix: sure, try file-roller! | 00:20 |
| vlt | LinuX2half: Then resize the partition itself | 00:20 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: the gray box will probably be unused space, create a new partition and make it NTFS | 00:21 |
| Geoffry | i tried that dr_willis | 00:21 |
| Slix | I tried that, but it isn't letting me split it up. | 00:21 |
| Geoffry | didn't work for me | 00:21 |
| obiwan_ | hey guys, grub2 splash image won't work. I've followed the steps up to the letter, and won't work. Changed the line at /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme with the image name, added the path to the img, (it's an grub2 adapted image from grub2-splashimages package, so img ain't the problem), did update-grub and it finds the image, but in the boot time nothing happens | 00:21 |
| Slix | Aha | 00:21 |
| Slix | Yes! | 00:21 |
| vlt | Italian_Plumber1: According to git's creator it is "svn done right" | 00:21 |
| LinuX2half | h00k: okay I have created an ntfs partition with 36.12GB and ext3 with 37 GB | 00:22 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | well maybe I'll give it a try sometime. | 00:22 |
| LinuX2half | does that sound right? | 00:22 |
| Italian_Plumber1 | right now I just wanna get this rtorrent thing working. | 00:22 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: it does ;) | 00:22 |
| h00k | hy might my window decorations break upon login? I'm on Karmic, 64bit, latest kernel, nvidia drivers on a nvidia 8600mgt card. This just started happening, I haven't changed anything, fairly recent 64bit install. I have to go to System -> Appearance -> and re-check the second box to get window decorations back. | 00:22 |
| h00k | LinuX2half: sure! | 00:22 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: but i think you have to accept changes or something in gparted | 00:22 |
| LinuX2half | luks_: okay then all i had to do now is to apply the changes, running sudo power | 00:22 |
| acicula | h00k: if you disable alle effects does it still happen? | 00:23 |
| h00k | acicula: well, that's what it is at when I login. | 00:23 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: hopefully, yes :) | 00:23 |
| eyl | is there anyway i can figure out the weird *-*-*-* format of a selected font from a gui window that shows all my fonts (not xfontsel)? | 00:23 |
| acicula | h00k: did you activate the nvidia hardware driver? | 00:23 |
| h00k | acicula: I disabled effects, I do still have decorations, yes | 00:23 |
| h00k | acicula: yes | 00:23 |
| h00k | acicula: yes, i've restarted | 00:23 |
| LinuX2half | Alright now's its checking the filesystem for any errors | 00:24 |
| acicula | h00k: disable it and see if the problem still occurs or enable it and see if the problem still occurs? | 00:24 |
| h00k | acicula: acicula yes, I'm using the 185 drivers | 00:24 |
| h00k | acicula: if I disable effects, I still have decorations. This is fine. The problem is that when I login, they're disabled and window decorations are broken. | 00:25 |
| acicula | h00k: as in the window borders and such dissappear? | 00:25 |
| coolcat | how can I know witch architecture I have on my machine? | 00:25 |
| h00k | acicula: when I log in, yes. | 00:25 |
| acicula | h00k: seems like metacity or compiz crashes on login then? | 00:26 |
| sync3times | coolcat, arch? | 00:26 |
| h00k | acicula: yes, this is the problem. | 00:26 |
| soreau | h00k: Do you have anything starting compiz related in your session? (sys>prefs>startup programs) like fusion-icon or compiz? | 00:27 |
| h00k | soreau: negative. | 00:27 |
| coolcat | sync3times, thank you | 00:27 |
| h00k | acicula, soreau: I didn't need anything previously, all-of-a-sudden it started dying on login. | 00:27 |
| arand | mercutio42: in grub2 it would be hd0,1 and hd0,2 | 00:28 |
| LinuX2half | so after I shrink the partition and add the ntfs partition, I can still able to access my Ubuntu OS correct? | 00:28 |
| h00k | I don't have ccsm-settings-manager for any other special plugins installed, I don't want/need this, I don't want to have to use fusion-icon. | 00:28 |
| acicula | h00k: other then switching the graphic driver i have no solution, if it persists with both the open source and binary nvidia driver best to post it on the forum or report it in launchpad | 00:28 |
| mercutio42 | arand: thanks. I just found out as well =] | 00:28 |
| arthurmaciel | hi | 00:28 |
| soreau | h00k: If you set None in sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects then re-login, does the problem persist? | 00:28 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: yes | 00:29 |
| arthurmaciel | is there any project management opensource program for ubuntu/linux? | 00:29 |
| vlt | LinuX2half: If the file system was resized too, yes. | 00:29 |

| luks_ | LinuX2half: do you want to install windows on your ntfs partition? | 00:30 |
| LinuX2half | luks_: Yes planning to | 00:30 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: ok, remember to reinstall grub because windows overwrites the master boot record | 00:31 |
| soreau | h00k: Well that's strange.. can you open gconf-editor and see if there's anything set for desktop/gnome/session/required components/window manager? | 00:31 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: otherwise you are only able to boot into windows | 00:31 |
| h00k | soreau: coincidentally, Gnome also forgot to open folders with Nautilus, I had to re-set that manually | 00:31 |
| arand | LinuX2half: is the ntfs going to be the first partiton after? | 00:31 |
| h00k | soreau: windowmanger's value is 'compiz' | 00:32 |
| LinuX2half | arrand: the ntfs is New Partition #1 | 00:32 |
| srv | How do I get my ext4 hard disk passphrase? | 00:32 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: is the ntfs partition created before are after your linux partition? in the hard disk layout (sorry for my english) | 00:32 |
| LinuX2half | luks_: I think its after the linux partition | 00:33 |
| h00k | soreau: I also did blast my gnome-settings (rm -rf .gnome2, .gconf, .gconfd) to see if it was anything in there and start with a default gnome session, this didn't fix it. | 00:33 |
| arand | LinuX2half: ok, just because windows (at least XP afaik) can get grumphy if it isn't installed to the layout-wise first partition. | 00:34 |
| h00k | arand: I've had XP on a not-first partition and had it fine | 00:34 |
| ojacobson | Is there a PPA or some other repo that has PHP 5.3? | 00:34 |
| luks_ | arand: i think it works flawlessly if you create a ntfs with linux and install windows on it | 00:34 |
| ojacobson | It's mentioned in the Karmic pre-release chats but there aren't any links :( | 00:34 |
| h00k | arand: the only problem I've had is software backup stuffs overwriting the mbr, especially with grub2 | 00:35 |

Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network, I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP,... | 00:36 |

| codyduncan | @luks_ yes, I did, to no avail | 00:37 |

| Chard1 | I too am running into an issue... I have an HP Mini 1000 and when I try to install the broadcom driver fix for the wireless it keeps asking me to insert /cdrom/ --- problem is, I don't have a cdrom (only able to use the USB way of installing)... is there a way to do apt-usb or apt-get w/out being online and point it to what I'm trying to install from the usb live (cd) | 00:39 |
| usb_problem | So? | 00:39 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: is the usb plugged in? | 00:40 |
| Chard1 | yes, i have the usb thumbdrive plugged in... | 00:40 |
| acicula | jMyles: you need to explicitly setup the routing | 00:40 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Which driver does System > Administration > Hardware Drivers want to install? | 00:40 |
| Chard1 | and then i go to synaptics and try to install the broadcom.. and it eventually tells me to insert /cdrom/ | 00:40 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: hmmm, and it keeps asking for the cdrom? check your sources, maybe delete the cdrom, and add the usb | 00:40 |
| jMyles | acicula: Hi again! I don't really understand the routing. How do I set it up? I have webmin installed. | 00:41 |
| Chard1 | :Jordan_U .. No propriety drivers are in use on this system.. is what it says | 00:42 |
| djuggler | U8.04Desktop. I've installed Postfix. changed main.cf to relay mail.comcast.net 587 added a file in sasl directory to include comcast username and password. Still getting relay problem. What have I missed? | 00:42 |
| acicula | jMyles: normally its not really needed, your normal broadband router will take care of it all? | 00:42 |
| ojacobson | ChogyDan: you don't know where the debian repo GPG key is hiding by any chance, do you? | 00:42 |
| usb_problem | I want to either install the minimal cd to usb or remaster the live cd. The first doesn't work, I need help. | 00:42 |
| acicula | so no need to explicitly route through a system with two nics | 00:42 |
| ChogyDan | ojacobson: no idea | 00:42 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( "lshw -C network", look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is ) | 00:43 |
| codyduncan | Okay, since the typically-suggested wpasupplicant method seems to be of no use, is wicd a viable option? How would I go about using that instead (typical apt-get install wicd?) | 00:44 |
| arand | Chard1: Do you have the CD selected if you check software sources (gksudo software-properties-gtk)? | 00:44 |
| amad | So, i'm a little confused... Is dynamic tick supported on 64 bit, and is the tick still ultimately limited by the kernel option CONFIG_HZ? | 00:44 |
| Chard1 | well, now i can't find broadcom source to install... i just installed the netbook remix version... (i've tried std i386 9.10 ubuntu... and it works when i use the live cd - but quits after the install)... tried the MEI version of ubuntu from HP, but it doesn't support the verizon wireless.... and now the netbook remix... doesn't show any wireless activity whatsoever | 00:45 |
| Chard1 | i'm in synaptics now... looking around | 00:45 |
| acicula | codyduncan: wicd is just a different approach of controlling the wireless, the underlying issue is the driver, if it doesnt work in nm it wont work in wicd either(most of the time anyway) | 00:45 |
| Geoffry | does anyone know how i can change my splash screen? | 00:46 |
| Geoffry | please help me | 00:46 |
| LinuX2half | its taking a long time to shrink the file system.. | 00:46 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: What card do you have? My broadcom firmware was in the b43-fwcutter package | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal , look for BCM43XX, and tell me what the "XX" is ) | 00:46 |
| Chard1 | if i go to add cdrom it just says please insert a disc in the drive | 00:46 |
| luks_ | LinuX2half: thats nothing to worry about | 00:46 |
| jMyles | acicula: not sure what to do next. | 00:46 |
| Harrison_Bergero | hello all. My 9.10 install is a bit buggy. I dont have any tabs at the top of any programs that I run. How do i fix this | 00:46 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: yeah, its screwy | 00:47 |
| Chard1 | that's a good question.. but i don't know the exact chipset | 00:47 |
| Chard1 | it's just a hp mini 1000 | 00:47 |
| Harrison_Bergero | and...my terminal is all white. Cant see anything that I type | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | Harrison_Bergero: System > Preferences > Appearance, try turning off desktop effects | 00:47 |
| acicula | Chard1: follow Jordan_U 's suggestion to find out.. | 00:47 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: lshw -C network | 00:47 |
| h00k | soreau: I tried gnome-wm as a windowmanager instead of compiz, I'm having the same thing | 00:47 |
| Chard1 | k, one sec | 00:47 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: paste that into a terminal and tell us the output | 00:47 |
| Harrison_Bergero | Jordan_U Wow...thanks | 00:48 |
| acicula | h00k: did you disabling/enabling the hw driver? | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | Harrison_Bergero: np | 00:48 |
| Chard1 | it says BCM4312 802.11b/g | 00:48 |
| ojacobson | ChogyDan: No good. Thanks for the suggestion, though. | 00:48 |
| codyduncan | acicula: thanks. I am now looking to see if wpasupplicant even supports my wireless card. Where can I find a profile of my hardware to compare it to the supported list? | 00:48 |
| Chard1 | the netbook is not able to be brought online yet | 00:48 |
| Chard1 | no physical ethernet and the wireless is not working yet | 00:49 |
| h00k | acicula: the driver in jocket-gtk, you're meaning? Yeah. | 00:49 |
| acicula | codyduncan: ( run "lshw -C network" in a terminal , | 00:49 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: Use the b43-fwcutter package | 00:49 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: do you know what packages you need? you can just install the debs straight from the usb | 00:49 |
| acicula | h00k: system-administration->hardware drivers | 00:49 |
| cowgarden | how to move a panel to the other monitor? | 00:49 |
| acicula | codyduncan: drag | 00:49 |
| Chard1 | if i type b43 in the search | 00:49 |
| h00k | acicula: Yeah, that'd be jockey-gtk. Did this. | 00:49 |
| acicula | codyduncan: err wait, dunno actually | 00:49 |
| Chard1 | nothing | 00:49 |
| acicula | h00k: oh wasnt aware it was called that | 00:50 |
| gh0s7 | hey guys for some reason i keep getting an error in ubuntu that says "video mode not supported" when booting from the live cd to try and install | 00:50 |
| h00k | acicula: yep :) | 00:50 |
| Chard1 | i'm pretty sure i know or knew which ones... but they're no longer listed like they were on the std 9.10 as they are now under the netbook remix | 00:50 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: Try this DEB: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb | 00:50 |
| devin | can an amd duron processor 700 mhz, 640 mb ram 2 partitions of 20 gb each support ubuntu 9.1? | 00:50 |
| codyduncan | acicula: I'm sorry, what? | 00:50 |
| acicula | devin: yeah, not gonna be fast though | 00:50 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: That's what I use on all my laptops (all of the have Broadcom 43xx cards) | 00:50 |
| devin | i know | 00:50 |
| gh0s7 | devin: it should run | 00:50 |
| devin | i tried to install a wubi | 00:51 |
| devin | but i get an error | 00:51 |
| devin | :( | 00:51 |
| acicula | codyduncan: run "lshw -C network" in a terminal to find out what specifically is your wireless device | 00:51 |
| Chard1 | after i download that... how do i actually install it from the usb | 00:51 |
| Geoffry | please somebody help me | 00:51 |
| songer | hello | 00:51 |
| songer | i want to make my usb bootable | 00:51 |
| acicula | !ask | Geoffry q | 00:51 |
| ubottu | Geoffry q: 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. :-) | 00:51 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Ok, first download this file and put it on your USB drive: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43karmic.tar | 00:52 |
| Geoffry | does anyone know how i can change my splash screen? | 00:52 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: /pool/main/b/b43-fwcutter/b43-fwcutter_012-1_i386.deb | 00:52 |
| acicula | !usplash > Geoffry | 00:52 |
| ubottu | Geoffry, please see my private message | 00:52 |
| gh0s7 | anyone know why i keep getting a video mode not supported error? | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | ChogyDan: That won't install without a network connection | 00:52 |
| ChogyDan | Chard1: just go there on the livecd, and double click | 00:52 |
| Chard1 | ok i've downloaded both files and put them on usb | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | ChogyDan: For legal reasons that package just contains a script that will download the real firmware from the internet | 00:53 |
| ChogyDan | Jordan_U: oh, I see! | 00:53 |
| Chard1 | ok | 00:53 |
| snap-- | for legal reasons | 00:53 |
| acicula | its legal to download, not legal to repackage and distribte | 00:53 |
| Slix | How can I specify in terminal that I want to go back a level, then another to another folder? | 00:54 |
| acicula | hence not in a package, but pointed to by an installation package, read the license for more info | 00:54 |
| Geoffry | sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a | 00:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Slix: cd ../foo | 00:54 |
| acicula | Slix: cd .. ? | 00:54 |
| maco | Slix: cd ../otherfolder | 00:54 |
| Slix | two dots! Thanks | 00:54 |
| Chard1 | ok, remember the netbook is not online yet | 00:54 |
| acicula | Slix: . = current directory ..= previous directory | 00:54 |
| acicula | in the tree anyway | 00:55 |
| tritium | acicula: no, - is the previous directory. .. is the parent directory. | 00:55 |
| Chard1 | :ChogyDan that failed to work | 00:55 |
| acicula | tritium: yeah - is the previously visited directory | 00:55 |
| Chard1 | and now that package installer seems to be stuck... can't close it.. one sec | 00:56 |
| techwizrd | Chard1: Have you have tried the link to the b43-fwcutter package I sent you. | 00:57 |
| Geoffry | !usplash | 00:57 |
| ubottu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Ok, now put b43karmic.tar on your desktop ( on the netboot ) | 00:57 |
| Geoffry | sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u just gives me http://pastebin.com/m22502a4a | 00:57 |
| Chard1 | i am about to... i put it on usb | 00:57 |
| codyduncan | acicula: I am looking at this list of information, and while I can see the section for the wireless card, there is no product name listed. | 00:57 |
| Geoffry | can anybody tell me what to do? | 00:57 |
| tooth | configuration question: where is the file kept that configures "prefered applications" ? I freshly installed ubuntu, copied over my ~ directory, and it clobbered some setting, and I am not sure WHERE that is kept | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Geoffry: you actually did install/add some custome artwork? | 00:58 |
| Chard1 | ok done | 00:58 |
| techwizrd | codyduncan: You can't find the card name on 'lshw -C network' ? | 00:58 |
| Chard1 | i put it on the desktop | 00:58 |
| Chard1 | b43karmic.tar | 00:58 |
| Geoffry | Dr_Willis: I downloaded a splash screen from gnome-look, I don't know what to do with it | 00:59 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Once it's on your desktop run "sudo tar -xvf Desktop/b43karmic.tar -C /lib/firmware/" ( make sure to type that exactly, capitalization counts ) | 00:59 |
| Geoffry | it's a .so file | 00:59 |
| codyduncan | techwizrd: No. There is other information, but nothing of a product name. | 00:59 |
| Chard1 | ok, it did a bunch of stuff | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Geoffry: theres some guidea i recall at the gnome look page. is somthing you see for like 3 sec on boot up worth all this hassle? usplash is getting phased out in thenext release i belive also. | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Geoffry: you basically copy it to the right location | 01:00 |
| Geoffry | how? | 01:00 |
| Chard1 | i guess it unpacked it to that dir | 01:00 |
| techwizrd | codyduncan: Can you paste the output somwhere? Like pastie.org or dpaste.com? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Geoffry: sudo cp whatever whever and i dont know where it goes. | 01:00 |
| Geoffry | oh | 01:00 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Good, now try rebooting and wireless will hopefully be working | 01:01 |
| jMyles | I am at a dead end with internet connection sharing. My gateway can ping both sides but the packets, they do not flow. | 01:01 |
| Chard1 | ok, will give it a go | 01:01 |
| Geoffry | Alright, well I googled all over the place, idk a guide | 01:01 |
| codyduncan | techwizrd: http://pastie.org/773049 | 01:01 |
| meatbun | is there a command from an internal app to print this table http://izecksohn.com/pedro/pub/index.html | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Geoffry: any guide maybe out of date for 9.10 also. Its not really worth fighting with. | 01:02 |
| Geoffry | I'm using 9.04 | 01:02 |
| Chard1 | negative | 01:02 |
| Chard1 | if i click the network up top... nothings listed | 01:02 |
| codyduncan | techwizrd: if the iwconfig would be of any use: http://pastie.org/773053 | 01:03 |
| Chard1 | it says wired network.. but there's not actually an ethernet port on this thing | 01:03 |
| techwizrd | codyduncan: That's weird. It doesn't list your product or vendor. It does say your firmware is Lucent/Agere 8.10 or something | 01:03 |
| zavi | My klamav keeps on telling me that encrypt.zip files are a virus but I suspect that they are not; any ideas? thanx | 01:04 |
| cvd_ | can i put a pci express 2.1x16 on a pci express 2.0x16 mobo, will work corectly? | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | zavi: try some of the online virus scanner sites, when in doubt get a second oponion | 01:04 |
| Chard1 | i will try it again with the install of 9.10 ubuntu full | 01:04 |
| Chard1 | instead of the netbook remix release | 01:04 |
| cvd_ | ati video card | 01:04 |
| zavi | have you any examples of alternatives? | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | Chard1: Is there any error message if you run "sudo modprobe b43" ? | 01:04 |
| Chard1 | and do what you told me to do | 01:05 |
| codyduncan | techwizrd: any guesses? | 01:05 |
| acicula | cvd_: bit offtopic, 2.1 doesnt exist, 1.1 does and is backwards compatible with 2.0, so should be fine | 01:05 |
| Planetary | alsa is giving me problems | 01:05 |
| techwizrd | codyduncan: Nope. I'm googling Lucent/Agere though. | 01:05 |
| Chard1 | no error.. just gives me the command line again | 01:05 |
| tonsofpcs | ok, so I know of X2VNC and Synergy and Win2VNC and all that... is there something similar that takes over all input and sends it directly until it gets an escape code (needs to run on linux and connect to windows, vnc is fine, other things may work too) (I don't need to switch between machines like synergy2, I don't need video return like vnc) | 01:05 |

| Jp82191 | karma, yeah don't use pusleaudio | 01:09 |
| Jp82191 | use VLC | 01:09 |
| Jp82191 | or rhythm box | 01:09 |
| acicula | Jp82191: those are entirely different things | 01:09 |
| karma | okay. I rephrase. is there a fix for the way that pulseaudio ferociously eats memory in Karmic, while still using pulseaudio? | 01:10 |

| karma | Jp82191: you removed it? | 01:10 |
| Jp82191 | karma, yes but i don't remember what i installed in its place | 01:11 |
| nick125 | If you aren't using Pulseaudio, you're probably using direct ALSA | 01:11 |
| karma | don't need to install anything in its place. it is a convenience, not a neccessity. | 01:11 |

| dkulchenko | Hi all! I'm trying to get the Blue Snowball mic working with Jaunty. It works fine through ALSA, and when I look at the microphone through the PulseAudio Volume Control, I can see the volume bar moving and it selected as default. But when I change Sound Capture in System->Preferences->Sound to PulseAudio Sound Server, it doesn't work (playback through PulseAudio works fine). Any ideas? | 01:13 |
| codyduncan | techwizrd: would it be better if I tried installing ndiswrapper since it seems like this wireless card, though supported generally, is giving me crap? | 01:13 |
| Jp82191 | if it works with ALSA stick with ALSA | 01:14 |
| Jp82191 | don't go to PulseAudio | 01:14 |
| dkulchenko | the thing is, i need pulseaudio because i'm mixing a ton of sound sources | 01:14 |

| KenBW2 | is it possible to somehow dist-upgrade Debian to Ubuntu? | 01:24 |
| SetiAmon | is there still sound quality issues with Creative X-Fi(music in particular) when i first put karmic on the audio distortions were so bad i fresh reinstalled jaunty | 01:25 |
| jrib | KenBW2: with a hammer, but it's definitely not supported, likely to blow up in your face, and a lot easier to just do a fresh install | 01:25 |
| arand | KenBW2: adding the ubuntu repos, installing the ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-desktop metapackages... possibly, not something I would try without expecting it to break though... | 01:25 |

| Runeg | My CPU freq selector stops working and gets stuck on the lowest CPU freq (800mhz in my case). the only way to make it start working again is rebooting. What would cause this? | 01:25 |

| Jp82191 | but how do i change it? | 01:26 |

| Jp82191 | because it recognizes it on my laptop running xubuntu but not on my desktop on Ubuntu | 01:30 |
| Harrison_Bergero | DOH | 01:30 |
| Harrison_Bergero | yes | 01:30 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, there you go :) | 01:31 |
| arand | Harrison_Bergero: hmm, it is possible but not recommended to log int a temporary root session with "sudo -i", but there is probably something else cusing the error here than sudo not working | 01:31 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs...well that didnt work either | 01:31 |
| codyduncan | Okay, looks like my guy split on me. Anyone else feel like helping me to enable WPA encryption on my wireless connection? Wireless networks are detected and listed, so the wireless card is functional in the most basic sense, however, when going to connect to any particular network, I am not given the option of entering a WPA passphrase, only WEP, and as my router is set to use WPA, this is... | 01:31 |
| Harrison_Bergero | i closed nautilus terminal and GUI associated with it | 01:31 |
| codyduncan | ...a problem. I am trying to get this going on a fresh Karmic install on a Toshiba A15-S157 notebook. Thus far, I have found this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/315489 which would seem to relate to my problem. I looked in my logs and saw this entry: Jan 10 16:06:35 cody-laptop firmware.sh[863]: Cannot find firmware file 'agere_sta_fw.bin', and have since found that... | 01:31 |
| codyduncan | ...file, and have downloaded it to my desktop. It seems like this may be the solution, but how to exact it, therein lies my (momentary) problem. | 01:31 |

| plustax_ | hey guys whats the magic ctrl alt del type combination for ubuntu | 01:32 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs...nm. Typo on my part | 01:32 |
| Jp82191 | codyduncan go to where your connections are and add a new one | 01:32 |
| plustax_ | like what do I do when my game freezes im not trying to hit the power button every time its caused problems before | 01:32 |
| Harrison_Bergero | it was the synaptic package manager AND a typo | 01:32 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, lol - occam's razor :) | 01:33 |

| alberto | Hola | 01:33 |
| alberto | Hello | 01:33 |
| Jp82191 | hola alberto | 01:33 |
| arand | plustax_: try alt+f2 (alt+f7 to get back) and you have a terminal from where you might be able to kill the application... | 01:33 |
| Chaz | Stavros: Install using the alternative cd and then only install the base system | 01:34 |
| alberto | Please, somebody help me configure sound system in Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope... | 01:34 |
| Code_Bleu | can someone help me figure out why im getting "permission denied" as root on /home/user/.gvfs? | 01:34 |
| plustax_ | isnt there a shift alt command too? | 01:34 |
| Stavros | Chaz: i don't want to reinstall, can't i just remove it? | 01:34 |
| Jp82191 | alberto, give me a minute | 01:34 |
| alberto | Jp82191 Thank you very much. | 01:34 |
| Jp82191 | k | 01:34 |
| === Surion_ is now known as Surion | ||
| arand | plustax_: alternatively alt+SysReq+k will restart the whole graphic environment (and all apps with it) | 01:35 |
| Jp82191 | alberto, are you on xchat? | 01:35 |
| chobbs | Code_Bleu, Absolutely sure you're root? | 01:35 |
| alberto | Jp82191 Yes, I am. | 01:35 |
| arand | plustax_: this was fromerly available through ctrl+alt+backspace | 01:35 |
| plustax_ | arand so that wont restart the computer just the graphics? Is this what you recommend when the game freezes? | 01:35 |
| Chaz | Stavros: edit /etc/fstab and change the runlevel to 3, then reboot which will bring you into console mode then remove all the packages relating to xorg and gnome ect... | 01:35 |
| Jp82191 | ok look upper left for my name and go there | 01:35 |
| Chaz | Stavros: I'm sorry /etc/inittab | 01:35 |
| arand | plustax_: I normally do *alt+f2* "killall stupid-game" *alt+f7* | 01:36 |
| Code_Bleu | chobbs: yes | 01:36 |
| Stavros | chaz: i'm in console already, but which package can i remove to have everything removed? | 01:36 |
| kb0odu | Stavros: Install "dselect" as an alternative. It will provide a list of programs from the command line. It uses ncurses to display "windows" from the command line. | 01:36 |
| Stavros | kb0odu: thanks for the hint, but i don't really need that, i don't use the gui at all now anyway | 01:37 |
| Stavros | i just want to remove all the useless packages | 01:37 |
| arand | plustax_: sorry that should have been ctrl+alt+F2 (and F7) | 01:37 |
| kb0odu | Stavros: It runs from the command line. | 01:37 |
| kb0odu | It's command line only. | 01:37 |
| Stavros | kb0odu: i know, but i don't need any non-console programs, so it wouldn't give me any benefit | 01:38 |

| Chaz | Stavros: Try apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 01:39 |
| maco | Stavros: sudo aptitude remove xserver-xorg ? | 01:39 |
| maco | Chaz: that just gets rid of the metapackage. leaves the apps installed | 01:39 |
| cowgarden | how to move a panel to the other monitor? | 01:39 |
| Code_Bleu | I did a backup of my whole drive, setup cryptsetup LUKS and LVM with ext4, restored files, and am able to boot up into the OS, but im having the .gvfs error, and when i try to load the network-admin it gives an error, and my bluetooth isnt working | 01:39 |
| Stavros | Chaz: that only removes the one package :/ | 01:40 |
| arand | Stavros: maybe check the dpends/recommends of metapackage "ubuntu-desktop" and remove most of that? | 01:40 |
| jtaji | Stavros: try removing libx11-6 and xorg, should take down everything else you want | 01:40 |
| Code_Bleu | chobbs: thanks, i saw that too...but that doesnt answer or fix my issue | 01:40 |
| jonathan__ | Hey guys, I need some help. I apperently don't know how to use synaptic package manager *blush* | 01:40 |
| Stavros | marco: that looks more hopeful, it gives me a huge list | 01:40 |
| chobbs | Code_Bleu, Did you try the solution suggested on the 2nd page: sudo aptitude reinstall gvfs gvfs-backends gvfs-bin gvfs-fuse libgvfscommon0 | 01:41 |
| Chaz | Stavros: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 01:41 |

| chobbs | Code_Bleu, no more ideas then mate | 01:44 |
| Chard1 | :coolkehon anything that's no on the home | 01:44 |
| Chard1 | i would think | 01:44 |
| coolkehon | Chard1: :| | 01:45 |
| jtaji | coolkehon: generally you want to encrypt /home and swap | 01:45 |
| coolkehon | i meant like what kind of valuable information would be leaked | 01:45 |
| chobbs | coolcat, what Chard1 says | 01:45 |
| jtaji | coolkehon: if you do /home and swap, nothing | 01:45 |
| chobbs | coolkehon, store your pr0n in /home/coolkehon, and you should be fine :-P | 01:45 |

| fiber | hello... I want to know what the easiest way to wrap ALL my traffic through an ssh tunnel (SOCKS5 essentially)... basically I have root access to a computer but the only port open on it is SSH and I want all my traffic going through it.... any recommendations? | 01:46 |
| jtaji | hmm yeah.. /tmp and /var potentially | 01:46 |
| chobbs | fiber, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH_VPN perhaps? Not tried it myself. | 01:47 |
| Chard1 | i think i remember reading somewhere that someone had a lot of luck using 9.04 with the hp mini 1000... everything worked | 01:47 |

| coolkehon | jtaji: is there a guide to install to setup full disk encryption | 01:49 |

| chobbs | fiber, If it's just for web browsing, then ssh will work as a socks5 proxy and it is a lot less work than the page I sent you to. I assumed when you said all traffic, you meant all traffic, but if it's just proxying web pages look into ssh | 01:51 |
| coolkehon | jtaji: is there another way | 01:51 |
| jonathan__ | arand: grrr it seems that all packages that I install end up with this problem. when I click on the icon, nothing happens | 01:51 |
| jonathan__ | arand: except for W:ET, which just messes up my screen resalution | 01:51 |
| arand | jonathan__: not really, would guess it'd down to video issues... | 01:51 |
| webfox | Well, I can connect and run commands on my server just fine. The problem is that once I terminate the connection, it kills the terminal too. Is there any way for it to continue the task? Thanks for the help! | 01:51 |
| fiber | chobbs: there is where the problem is... simply tunneling my browser is not enough since hulu detects the location based on whatever app is accessing the data through the mms protocol | 01:51 |

| adante | happy_: yeah, if i am unable to get help in here/ubuntuforums | 01:52 |
| Chard1 | it looks like it is almost full then... | 01:52 |
| blakkheim | webfox: that's not an ubuntu issue, so you might want to ask elsewhere | 01:52 |
| chobbs | fiber, Ahhh. Prolly shouldn't be helping with avoiding content protection schemes in #ubuntu :-) | 01:52 |
| webfox | blakkheim: >:\ | 01:53 |
| sync3times | webfox, the screen command should be what you need | 01:53 |
| happy_ | adante: then it is probably a hard question. Those are the two places to try. | 01:53 |
| fiber | chobbs: if it's any consolation... i own the US computer (i live there part of the year)... so technically i shouldn't be filtered :D | 01:53 |
| webfox | happy_: what is the nohup you speak of? | 01:53 |
| brando753 | Chard1: it shouldnt be almost full its brand new | 01:53 |
| jonathan__ | arand: are you saying that because I have an nvidia card I can't run any packages? | 01:53 |

| jonathan__ | arand: I just installed linux earlier today, I'm not exactly very good with this | 01:54 |
| adante | happy_: lol | 01:54 |
| happy_ | webfox: nohup makes it disconnect from the terminal. there is no way to reconnect | 01:54 |

| jonathan__ | arand: I do have one enabled, it's the recommended one. the other one is an older version. do I need that enabled? | 01:58 |
| arand | Hmm, if the recommended version is enabled it _should_ work.. | 01:58 |
| jonathan__ | hmm, where do I enable it? | 01:59 |
| arand | jonathan__: if it says "activated" there, it already is. | 02:00 |

| david_ | hi i am getting segmentation faults when sshing into myself - does anyone have any suggestions? | 02:00 |
| jonathan__ | I have looked all over my nvidia panel and I can't find 3d ecceleration. also, I can't seem to find the desktop effects. | 02:00 |
| chobbs | david_, that sounds vaguely dirty :) | 02:01 |
| webfox | america is awesome. | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | jonathan__: does the hardware-drivers tool say the drivers are enabled? if so then yiu shoudl have 3d acce. | 02:01 |
| webfox | D: fail | 02:01 |
| sync3times | david_, you are typing ssh localhost and getting a segfault? | 02:01 |
| jonathan__ | I do have one of them. | 02:01 |
| david_ | chobbs: yeh! that ssh died after all this time is driving me a bit nuts | 02:02 |
| jonathan__ | the other one is just an older version. | 02:02 |
| david_ | sync3times: yes. plus putty wont connect either | 02:02 |
| LinuX2half | why I insert a windows installation disc its not recognized by my computer | 02:02 |
| david_ | i am really stumped as what to do | 02:02 |
| sync3times | david_, from the same machine? do you have any entries in /etc/hosts.deny ?? | 02:02 |
| david_ | sync3times: yes, but im not denied | 02:03 |
| david_ | ssh/d has worked without issue for like 3 years | 02:03 |
| david_ | so this is really strange | 02:03 |
| sync3times | david_, anything in /var/log/auth.log | 02:03 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Guys, how to make my computer visible in a Windows network? | 02:03 |
| jonathan__ | I don't understand why this is happening, I can't run 3d programs, I can't use desktop effects, but I can't find where I'm supposed to turn on 3d acc. | 02:04 |
| Awesome3000 | what is the unmount command for a floppy | 02:04 |
| LinuX2half | its recognized by the computer as a blank CD-R but its unable to reveal its content though | 02:04 |
| kb0odu | isolat3dsh33p: You need SAMBA | 02:04 |
| sync3times | floppy.....wow | 02:04 |
| quietone | where do I find glib-2.2.0 via synaptic? | 02:04 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kb0odu, it's installed by default in 9.10 right? | 02:04 |
| david_ | sync3times: receive signal 15 | 02:04 |
| david_ | bind to port 0.0.0.0 22 failed address already in use | 02:05 |
| kb0odu | isolat3dsh33p: Hmm...don't think so. I think I had to install it afterwards | 02:05 |
| david_ | sync3times: any of those helpful? | 02:05 |
| sync3times | david_, any updates recently that might mean that your current sshd is out of date? | 02:05 |
| chobbs | Awesome3000, should be umount /media/floppy (is that the right device name? It's been ages.....) | 02:05 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kb0odu, « apt-cache policy samba » gives this « Installed: 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.3 » :/ | 02:05 |
| Awesome3000 | chobbs Thanks | 02:05 |
| david_ | sync3times: im still on feisty fawn. i havent updated for ages | 02:05 |
| sync3times | david_, restart sshd | 02:05 |
| kb0odu | Then you need to configure it for your network / workgroup. | 02:05 |
| xxx_ | is it possible to install windows xp to a partition with ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| isolat3dsh33p | maybe I installed it and forgot I've installed it. | 02:06 |
| david_ | sync3times: tried that, plus a reboot | 02:06 |
| Awesome3000 | Lantizia sudo mlabel -s A: That should do it | 02:06 |
| LinuX2half | it said to create a new file system but I'm not sure if I should commit the action if it had the consequence of losing my data and could led to disaster. | 02:06 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kb0odu, which part? | 02:06 |
| sync3times | david_, verify the package. Sounds hacked | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | xxx_: windows will want its own partition. thats how dual booting works. | 02:07 |
| mercutio22 | hello room | 02:07 |
| david_ | sync3times: how do i do that? | 02:07 |
| kb0odu | isolat3dsh33p: Try Gadmin-samba tool | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | xxx_: you can have xp and ubuntu both on the same hard drive | 02:07 |
| isolat3dsh33p | kb0odu, ok, thanks :) | 02:07 |
| xxx_ | Dr_Willis, i know how to dual boot i need to install windows from linux | 02:07 |
| sync3times | david_, dunno. some dpkg command should be able to do it, but I know rpm betterer | 02:07 |
| david_ | sync3times: i apt-get removed ssh and installed it | 02:07 |
| maco | david_: debsums | 02:08 |
| sync3times | david_, ssh-server? | 02:08 |
| mercutio22 | I am debian here, I find it pretty cool how ubuntu automounts usb storage devives containing ntfs filesystems with write permissions. Maybe someone here can explain to me how to have debian accomplish that as well | 02:08 |
| neezer | does anyone know what dlna protocol error 2104 is? | 02:08 |
| maco | sync3times:, david_: debsums checks the hashes of installed files | 02:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | david_, it's NOT a good idea to be using End-Of-Life ubuntu versions (no security updates!) | 02:08 |
| sync3times | maco, thanx , I needed to know that command. I was looking in dpkg docs | 02:09 |
| Aiden | hi | 02:09 |

| Teacher | The human vagina is an elastic muscular canal that extends from the cervix to the vulva.[1] Although there is wide anatomical variation, the length of the unaroused vagina is approximately 6 to 7.5 cm (2.5 to 3 in) across the anterior wall (front), and 9 cm (3.5 in) long across the posterior wall (rear).[2] During sexual arousal the vagina expands in both length and width.[3] Its elasticity allows it to stretch during sexual intercourse and during birth | 02:10 |

| jamiejackson | not sure which channel to try, but i'm working on my ubuntu box, and can't get booted into ubuntu. not sure if this is a raid problem, an lvm problem, a grub problem, or what... i'm getting dropped into a "busybox" shell when i try to boot. above the shell is the warning; "ALERT! /dev/mapper/lvm--raid-lvm--raid_root does not exist.

| david_ | sync3times: what would be the best way to update feisty fawn? | 02:13 |
| arand | Harrison_Bergero: command "chmod" from terminal, see "man chmod" for help | 02:13 |

| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, The short answer is as root: chmod 755 <fileName> | 02:14 |
| david_ | rww: thankyou | 02:14 |
| sync3times | david_, I dunno. I would be tempted to do a fresh install, but thats just me. | 02:14 |

| sync3times | david_, do you have a separate home partition? | 02:15 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, does that work for the entire folder or just individual files? | 02:15 |
| Profion | sync3times, you installed the package debsum? | 02:15 |
| sync3times | Profion, I am kinda done with that issue. Thanks for your help | 02:15 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, If you do it like that it will only change the file that you put into <fileName> | 02:15 |

| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, To do an entire folder: chmod - | 02:16 |

| sync3times | Profion, no problem. Thanks again | 02:16 |

| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Sorry, chmod -R 755 <folderName> | 02:16 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian thanks | 02:16 |
| edbian | jonathan__, Do you know how to turn on the desktop effects? | 02:16 |
| jonathan__ | yes, and they don't work | 02:16 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, np. Did it work how you wanted? | 02:17 |
| Harrison_Bergero | making the change now...have to navigate to the folder, brb | 02:17 |
| edbian | jonathan__, Then you cannot turn on 3D acceleration. What is your video card? | 02:17 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, lemme know! :) | 02:17 |

| meowbuntu | hi all i am having problem with firefox thus affecting my xmarks settings. i have changed a password for an account online first firefox wont remember the new password for that site even thought i have it set to remember passwords. | 02:18 |
| Random832 | anyone know how to disable usplash without uninstalling it (since uninstalling it kills the ubuntu-desktop metapackage) | 02:18 |
| jonathan__ | nvidia gforce not sure of the model edbian | 02:18 |
| jonathan__ | edbian: I have used desktop effects on this computer before, but now with this 9.10 I can't figure out how | 02:18 |
| arand | jonathan__: to find model no. you can use "lspci | grep VGA" from terminal | 02:19 |
| LinuX2half | whats a ldlinux.sys? | 02:19 |
| sync3times | jonnathan__, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0 | 02:19 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, silly question, how do i use this command if the folder name is two words | 02:19 |
| edbian | jonathan__, Have you looked at the compiz-check script? It is very helpful in these sort of things http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check | 02:19 |
| LinuX2half | I can't seem to make my CD recognizable | 02:20 |
| jonathan__ | GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M | 02:20 |
| Harrison_Bergero | seems the command is thinking that each word is a separate folder and giving me an error | 02:20 |
| jonathan__ | edbian, thanks, trying now | 02:20 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, are there spaces in the filename? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Harrison_Bergero: quote or escape names with spaces in them | 02:20 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs, yes | 02:20 |
| sync3times | jonatha__ do mine, it will tell you if the drivers are loaded | 02:20 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Well, a "\" comes before a space. So "folder name" would become folder\ name | 02:20 |
| chobbs | Escape the spaces with a backslash like this: My\ File\ Name | 02:20 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: alright | 02:21 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, You can also use tab completion. Type cd /path/to/a/fold[tab][tab] pressing the tab key where stated and the terminal tries to autocomplete what you're typing. Do you understand? | 02:21 |
| sync3times | jonathan_, what happens when you type glxgears | 02:21 |
| phxheat1 | I would like to expand my Recent Documents from 10 to about 20 showing in the list. Places>Recent Documents. Can you even change it, Ubuntu9.10 | 02:21 |
| Harrison_Bergero | is the effect immediate or do i have to reboot? | 02:21 |
| * chobbs loves him some tab completion | 02:21 | |
| jonathan__ | sync3tiems, I tried your first one... not sure what I'm supposed to gain from that. trying glxgears | 02:22 |
| mariogamer91 | Is this where I can get windows technical support? | 02:22 |
| rohit | I have a very very strange question... | 02:22 |
| meowbuntu | so does anyone have any ideas | 02:22 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, damn. Still getting permission denied error. It didnt work | 02:22 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, if it said anything, your drivers are loaded and see the card | 02:22 |
| Awesome3000 | rohit ask away | 02:22 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, What is giving you permission denied? | 02:22 |
| arand | jonathan__: have you upgraded to 9.10 or is this a fresh install? | 02:22 |
| jonathan__ | synXlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:23 |
| jonathan__ | Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual | 02:23 |
| jonathan__ | and the first one said something | 02:23 |
| edbian | arand, He's using 9.10 | 02:23 |
| rohit | Will the command "cp -fR /home/rohit/foo/bar/ /home/rohit/foo/output/" ever copy the entire bar directory as it is into output? | 02:23 |
| Harrison_Bergero | transmission, ever since I upgraded to 9.10 | 02:23 |
| jonathan__ | arand, 9.10 and a fresh install | 02:23 |
| Harrison_Bergero | rohit, did you attend NCSU? | 02:23 |
| sync3times | jonathan_, look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and check to make sure you have a Section "Module" \ Load "glx" \ EndSection | 02:23 |
| rohit | NCSU? | 02:23 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, answer me this. Who owns the files in question? | 02:23 |
| grayhane | how do I stop the audio cd extractor from opening up when I insert an audio CD ? | 02:23 |
| Harrison_Bergero | nm...it was a long shot, just though i'd ask | 02:23 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, me, the user | 02:23 |
| sync3times | rohit, try cp -a | 02:24 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, what are the permissions on the file right now? | 02:24 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, what command shows the permission in terminal | 02:24 |
| meowbuntu | ubuntu firefox is different from the way things are done on firefox help site | 02:24 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, ls -l | 02:24 |
| rohit | sync3times: the thing is I DON'T want it to copy bar as it is ... I just want the contents to be copied into output | 02:24 |
| isolat3dsh33p | how do I get the server IP that I'm trying to connect to? | 02:24 |
| Harrison_Bergero | drwx------ 1 giulia giulia 4096 2009-11-22 12:30 Incoming Torrents | 02:24 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Is giulia your username? | 02:25 |
| Harrison_Bergero | y | 02:25 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: tried that, and I do have that | 02:25 |
| sync3times | rohit, so you want ownership and permissions and such not necessarily preserved? | 02:25 |
| rohit | sync3times: What I get is output/bar/ instead I just want the files in bar to in output/ | 02:25 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, According to those permissions giulia is allowed to read write and execute the file. Nobody else is allowed to do anything | 02:25 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Which means that sudo chmod 755 was not applied to this file for whatever reason | 02:26 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, so why does transmission stop every single torrent with "permission denied" error? | 02:26 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, I'm not 100% sure | 02:26 |
| chobbs | rohit, have you tried: cp -fR /home/rohit/foo/bar/* /home/rohit/foo/output/ | 02:26 |
| * meowbuntu is tempted to call !ops for help. someone should know | 02:26 | |
| sync3times | jonatha__, /var/log/X.0.log may tell you something. It will be a long file. | 02:26 |
| Harrison_Bergero | giulia@Photoland:/media/DABC7284BC725B49$ chmod -R 755 Incoming\ Torrents | 02:26 |
| rohit | chobbs, trying now | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: connet to how exactly? | 02:26 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Change the permissions to 777 on that file | 02:27 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Then show me what ls -l says about it | 02:27 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: alright, going to try that | 02:27 |
| sync3times | rohit, oh, you always want to do this this/is/your/src/. to this/is/your/dest/. | 02:27 |
| meowbuntu | Dr_Willis, do you know much about firefox password changing | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: what passwords> | 02:28 |
| isolat3dsh33p | Dr_Willis, samba I believe. I'm trying to connect to a Windows network, and I'm trying to fill up the entries in the "Connect to server..." dialog. | 02:28 |

| meowbuntu | Dr_Willis, i have changed a password for an account but firefox does not give me the option to remembewr the new password as usual. i have checked that it is still set to remember passwords and it is | 02:29 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, right now your terminal is located in /media/DABC... | 02:29 |
| ChogyDan | meowbuntu: have you tried removing the old password? | 02:29 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, yes | 02:29 |

| sync3times | rohit whoop :) | 02:29 |
| sync3times | rohit, glad to help | 02:30 |

| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 that should let you edit as root | 02:34 |

| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, So it did finish it for you? then why is it not effecting the file ?? | 02:34 |
| Harrison_Bergero | Whats extremely irritating is this worked before the upgrade! Grrr | 02:34 |
| Werenerd | Hey all - could anyone help me with setting NFS with 8.04 LTS? I am using shares-admin and I am at the part where it is asking me to specify network. It wants to know the netwpork and netmask | 02:34 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, i wish i knew | 02:34 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, and the output of whoami | 02:34 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: soooooo that file is ok? what is the problem then? | 02:34 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs, what? | 02:34 |
| Chard1 | :Werenerd netwpork? | 02:34 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, type dmesg and see if nvidias driver spit up any messages there | 02:34 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs, giulia@Photoland:/media/DABC7284BC725B49$ whoami | 02:34 |
| Harrison_Bergero | giulia | 02:34 |
| Werenerd | Chard1: sorry, typing fast | 02:34 |
| rww | maco: user with a seen script, I'd wager | 02:34 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, I'm just confirming you're the user you believe you are :) | 02:34 |
| cvd | hello there | 02:35 |
| Harrison_Bergero | chobbs, gotcha. I am. | 02:35 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, What does chmod do when it runs? Return errors or anything? | 02:35 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, the first time it asked for a password because of the sudo, then after that nothing, just a cursor. | 02:35 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Try and do it to some other file somewhere else | 02:36 |
| Werenerd | I am pretty sure the netmask is the 255.255.255.0, but I don't know what to put in the Network field | 02:36 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: nvidia gave a message about the GPU I'm pretty sure, but I have alot of nvidia stuff in this computer | 02:36 |
| chobbs | Harrison_Bergero, edbian, you shouldn't need sudo if you're changing permissions on files you own | 02:36 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: does this mean anything? nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. | 02:36 |
| CaBlGuY | anyone?? | 02:36 |
| sync3times | jonatha__, thats fine. how many nvidia cards to you have in the computer counting mobo | 02:37 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, look at the files inside that folder. 777 should make them all read write and executable by everybody | 02:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | jonathan__, taints kernel is 'cause it isn't open source (nothing to worry about really) | 02:37 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/1 | 02:37 |
| ChogyDan | CaBlGuY: you can try the livecd to find out | 02:37 |

| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, There you go! | 02:37 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, try running chmod 777 on the folder without the -R ;) | 02:37 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: I'm honestly not sure... mobo is... graphics chipset is... mic and "headset" that I've never heard of (probably the speakers) is... | 02:37 |
| rohit | sync3times, I forgot to ask, is there any particular reason why I have to add the '.' after the / ? | 02:38 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, well, what about the folder on the partition im trying to use for transmission? | 02:38 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: tring now, I just type that into the terminal correct? | 02:38 |
| sync3times | rohit, it says, put it "there" | 02:38 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 can you just reinstall grub from the liveCD | 02:38 |
| KiDD420 | uhhh | 02:38 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, yup | 02:38 |
| KiDD420 | i dont know how | 02:38 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, nope still nothing | 02:38 |
| Harrison_Bergero | same as before | 02:38 |
| green1152 | I am having some issues with qjackctl sending back xruns. Can someone help me? | 02:38 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: no such file or directory | 02:38 |
| rohit | sync3times, ok cool :) | 02:38 |
| KiDD420 | i just installed it with the interface ubuntu came with and told it to install to the usb drive | 02:38 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, really? with no errors? something is wrong | 02:38 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, Go there in nautilus and get some eyes on the problem | 02:39 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, does it have to do with the partition? Do i have to share the partition as a whole? | 02:39 |
| presario16xluser | Is this where i get support for Ubuntu 9.10? | 02:39 |
| rww | presario16xluser: yes | 02:39 |
| geitenneuker | i got a problem | 02:39 |
| edbian | Harrison_Bergero, No, if that were so it would affect ALL of the files on the partition not just some of them | 02:39 |
| green1152 | anyone have much knowledge on qjackctrl? Is there a better irc for that? | 02:40 |
| Harrison_Bergero | edbian, im in nautilus window | 02:40 |
| geitenneuker | i cannot start ubuntu, it has no knob | 02:40 |
| presario16xluser | Ok because I am trying to boot ubuntu off a very old notebook and the live cd takes 20 minutes to boot. | 02:40 |

| meowbuntu | i wonder y ubuntu selects kde packages in updatemanager. kubuntu never selects gnome packages. | 02:41 |
| meowbuntu | ^ any ideas | 02:41 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 sudo grub-install /dev/<yourpartition> in a terminal | 02:41 |
| geitenneuker | meowbuntu? is this a new release? | 02:42 |

| chobbs | presario16xluser, Actually, that was a statement. What is the question? | 02:42 |
| geitenneuker | woofbuntu | 02:42 |
| meowbuntu | geitenneuker, new release of what | 02:42 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times ok, how do I fix it? | 02:43 |
| meowbuntu | edbian, how can i check if i do | 02:43 |
| rww | !ot | geitenneuker | 02:43 |
| ubottu | geitenneuker: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 02:43 |
| ChogyDan | meowbuntu: ignore geitenneuker, who is just trolling | 02:43 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, I am trying. This is harder since you have the computer there. | 02:43 |
| geitenneuker | jewbuntu, the ubuntu for orthodox jews | 02:43 |

| presario16xluser | Can I just please get some help with installing ubunto on this pentium 3 650mhz notebook with 192mb of ram? (seriosly, whats up with you guys?) | 02:44 |
| genii | geitenneuker: You're not being constructive, also somewhat rascist. Please desist | 02:44 |
| ldlework | I just installed Ubuntu, latest, and I hit the desktop and it just spins | 02:44 |
| ldlework | I can't do anything, just the orange background, with a spinning mouse | 02:44 |
| ldlework | halp? | 02:44 |
| meowbuntu | can anyone help me find out if i have kde apps installed | 02:44 |
| jonathan__ | presario16xluser: correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think ubuntu will run on that | 02:44 |
| ChogyDan | green1152: if no one can help you with jack, people will just not respond. | 02:44 |
| NotTooSmart | how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? | 02:44 |
| geitenneuker | 192mb is very low mem | 02:44 |
| geitenneuker | you need at least 512mb to work with it | 02:45 |
| sync3times | jonathan__ can you paste your entire /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 02:45 |
| jonathan__ | presario16xluser: try puppy linux... it might at least boot | 02:45 |
| chobbs | presario16xluser, It'll run, but you'll need to replace the default window manager (metacity) with something more svelte. | 02:45 |
| geitenneuker | otherwise i recommend to install lubuntu | 02:45 |
| sync3times | jonathan__ use pastebin or whatever | 02:45 |
| green1152 | Thanks Chogy. At least I know something is working right at the moment. | 02:45 |
| presario16xluser | Well, I can upgrade the ram to 320mb, but the requirements say i need like 192mb of ram. | 02:45 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: sure | 02:45 |
| ldlework | Does anyone know why a fresh ubuntu install, that works with the live CD, would, when it hits the desktop, it would just sit there with the orange background and a spinning mouse | 02:45 |
| green1152 | Does anyone know a good place I can go for Jack issues, then? | 02:45 |
| geitenneuker | get more mem, if you can or install another OS liek lubuntu | 02:45 |
| meowbuntu | i find it strange that update manager has kde 4 apps there. | 02:46 |
| presario16xluser | OK NEVERMIND, im just going back to M$ windows! | 02:46 |
| ChogyDan | green1152: #jack looks relevant. | 02:46 |
| green1152 | thank you | 02:46 |

| kraitos | amarok won't let me add music to it. could anyone help ? | 02:47 |
| KiDD420 | im not sure which partition to install it to? | 02:47 |
| meowbuntu | magicvibe, try sudo apt-get install (application) | 02:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | magicvibe, "sudo apt-get install lame" | 02:47 |
| KiDD420 | Awesome3000: | 02:47 |
| ChogyDan | meowbuntu: you should be able to just mark the package you are interested in to remove, and then the removed will tell you what other packages will be removed before asking for confirmation | 02:47 |
| magicvibe | thank you, ill try that | 02:47 |
| meowbuntu | ChogyDan, i want to first find out if i have install anything that may need the kde updates. | 02:48 |
| Jp82191 | has anyone gotten remote desktop to work over the internet? | 02:48 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: still here? | 02:48 |
| meowbuntu | magicvibe, thats what i would do | 02:48 |
| arvind_khadri | Jp82191, ask your question | 02:49 |

| dimeotane | anyone know how to run android apps in ubuntu? | 02:49 |
| chobbs | magicvibe, better advice would be 'sudo aptitude install lame' | 02:49 |
| geitenneuker | Jp82191: easy | 02:49 |
| ChogyDan | meowbuntu: run this, but just make sure to say 'no' sudo apt-get remove kdebase-runtime | 02:49 |
| meowbuntu | NotTooSmart, try sudo apt-get install (app name) | 02:49 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, here is mine http://pastebin.com/d42ea5855 | 02:49 |
| geitenneuker | Jp82191: there is a RDP client | 02:49 |
| NotTooSmart | meowbuntu, doesnt have it i dont think | 02:49 |
| magicvibe | meowbuntu, thanks, ive tried and it seems to have successfully installed, but the WinFF converter still claims libmp3lame is an unfamiliar encoder | 02:49 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 it will be a device in /dev/ | 02:49 |
| KiDD420 | ya | 02:49 |
| KiDD420 | im trying /dev/sdb1/ | 02:50 |
| KiDD420 | which should be the main partition | 02:50 |
| meowbuntu | ChogyDan, so run that but say n | 02:50 |
| geitenneuker | terminal server client | 02:50 |
| ChogyDan | aye | 02:50 |
| KiDD420 | then there is the swap partiition | 02:50 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 careful | 02:50 |
| geitenneuker | Jp82191: terminal server client | 02:50 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: ok, I'm not really sure what all that means | 02:50 |
| KiDD420 | im sure its sdb | 02:50 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 OK | 02:50 |
| KiDD420 | but when I try to CD to it it say no diretory | 02:50 |
| KiDD420 | not a directory | 02:51 |
| sync3times | jonathan__, mine is a little simpler. probably makes no difference. But mine is a copy of one that works....with your driver cksum | 02:51 |
| Awesome3000 | KiDD420 it isn't a directory it's a device | 02:51 |
| chobbs | KiDD420, /dev/sdb1 is a device, not a directory. | 02:51 |
| KiDD420 | well | 02:51 |
| geitenneuker | amd ganjron, the smoking cpu | 02:51 |

| chobbs | KiDD420, I may have missed something - did you say you were trying to modify the booting of your LiveCD? | 02:53 |
| geitenneuker | ok | 02:53 |
| KiDD420 | no | 02:53 |
| geitenneuker | mkswap 1203 | 02:53 |
| Awesome3000 | amdsempron Do you already have the partition | 02:53 |
| chobbs | KiDD420, OK, must just be the meds :-) | 02:53 |

| amdsempron | Yes, I already have a swap partition, and system monitor keeps reporting 0 bytes of 0 bytes from the swap being used. | 02:54 |
| KiDD420 | should i be trying /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb1/ | 02:54 |
| jonathan__ | sync3times: Ok, I did it. it is takin awhile for me to get the whole command-line sudo thing. but I got it, now what? | 02:54 |

| arghh2d2 | sync3times: yeah, god forbid you self medicate with a natural remedie in the U.S though | 02:55 |
| magicvibe | meowbuntu; but it seems WinFF keeps insisting (unknown encoder libmp3lame) | 02:55 |
| ChogyDan | geitenneuker: please stop | 02:55 |
| jonathan__ | ok | 02:55 |

| arghh2d2 | Guest49270: you can just as easily open a text editor to do edit the file | 02:59 |
| jonathan__ | alright, cya | 02:59 |
| Guest49270 | yea i did that but it gives me a "bash: /etc/network/interfaces: Permission denied" error even when i used sudo to do it. | 02:59 |
| hellyeah | i love this server :D | 02:59 |
| geitenneuker | ok use this command | 02:59 |
| arghh2d2 | Guest49270: you have to be root | 03:00 |
| ChogyDan | amdsempron: did you ever check a box "Require password to log in and to decrypt my home directory"? | 03:00 |
| Guest49270 | no, i am using a script to modify the file. | 03:00 |

| KiDD420 | is there a way when installing ubuntu to specify certain things in grub or to not have the files locked? | 03:01 |
| Guest49270 | wouldn't "sudo echo "# Bridged network interface" >> /etc/network/interfaces" be the same thing as using sudosu? | 03:01 |
| sync3times | KiDD420, you can have a grub boot password | 03:01 |
| arghh2d2 | Guest49270: probly | 03:01 |
| Guest49270 | yes i ran it as root, usinf the the command sudo filename.sh | 03:01 |
| magicvibe | thanks meowbuntu, i hope i can do it w/ my computer tho cuz it's 165mb lol | 03:01 |
| KiDD420 | i dont want a password..... I just want to add the rootdelay=10 | 03:01 |

| NotTooSmart | how do I install oss4 on ubuntu 9.10 ??? | 03:03 |
| arghh2d2 | Bohemian: try pgrep | 03:03 |
| edbian | Bohemian, grep filters the output of a command. If you type ps -e it will give some output to filter. If you ps -e | grep k It will show the lines from ps -e than have a k in them | 03:03 |
| KiDD420 | sync3times: i dont have permissions on it from the live session..... | 03:04 |
| edbian | Bohemian, ps -e | grep ko will show all the lines from ps -e that have a ko in them | 03:04 |

| sirninja | I'm using the lucid alpha.

| edbian | ShazbotMcMurder, Is that not helping? go to the folder using that nautilus window and change the permissions the same way. It should help now | 03:12 |
| ShazbotMcMurder | :| | 03:13 |
| ShazbotMcMurder | brb | 03:13 |
| maco | theshadow: and that's not a rename. having the git package install anything other than gnuit would involve renaming a package | 03:13 |
| maco | theshadow: as gnuit is older than git-the-vcs | 03:13 |

| Carlis3 | Ubuntu 9.10 can´t enter to the system when I turn on the pc. How can I fix this issue ? | 03:36 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: your initramfs should have the correct stuff in it already | 03:36 |
| brando753 | i backed up my /home partition lost my HD using gpartd restored in on this HD and resized it larger the size showing up in Disk Analayzer was the old size ... | 03:37 |
| KiDD420 | well how long does it take to load the USB module? | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | Carlis3: What do you mean by "Enter to the system" ? | 03:37 |
| Bird|desktop | not :p (there are several modules in the Linux USB subsystem btw) | 03:37 |

| Jordan_U | brando753: Please pastebin the output of "du -h /home" and "sudo du -h /home" | 03:38 |
| KiDD420 | well I have ubuntu installed to a flash drive at it freaks out because it doesnt find the root drive, I added rootdelay=30 to the GRUB entry but it is still freaking out | 03:38 |
| KiDD420 | should it delay longer? | 03:38 |
| Carlis3 | The system don´t go to the desktop | 03:38 |
| edbian | Carlis3, How far does it go? | 03:39 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: my guess is that your initramfs is failing to find root, although it should, is the root= on your boot line pointing on the correct place? | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | KiDD420: Can you pastebin your grub.cfg? And by "freaks out" I assume you mean gives an error and drops to a busybox shell? | 03:39 |
| KiDD420 | yes | 03:39 |
| KiDD420 | where do I find the grub.cfg? | 03:39 |
| Carlis3 | here is my post: | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | KiDD420: /boot/grub/ | 03:40 |

| alex87 | is there any way to get the mouse working better with gnome-rdp (rdesktop)? | 03:40 |
| KiDD420 | i dont see a grub.cfg | 03:40 |
| KiDD420 | menu.lst? | 03:40 |
| Bird|desktop | Jordan_U: if it freaks out and goes to busybox, that sounds like an initramfs problem | 03:40 |
| Bird|desktop | not a grub.cfg issue | 03:40 |
| Carlis3 | http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/board,10.0.html | 03:40 |
| Jordan_U | KiDD420: Yes, menu.lst ( grub legacy uses menu.lst, grub 2 uses grub.cfg ) | 03:41 |
| Carlis3 | The subject is: | 03:41 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: terminal is still working ... | 03:41 |
| Sorhan | evening all | 03:41 |
| Carlis3 | Ubuntu 9.10 can´t access to the system | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | Bird|desktop: I know, that's why I asked him if that's what he meant by "freaks out" :) | 03:41 |
| Carlis3 | check that Jordan | 03:41 |
| Sorhan | simple question ... hopefully ... how do i access files shared under a windows workgroup? | 03:41 |
| KiDD420 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m59af496d | 03:41 |
| Bird|desktop | Sorhan: check out samba :) | 03:41 |
| KiDD420 | it says it cant find the root and drop to busybox | 03:42 |
| Bird|desktop | !samba | Sorhan | 03:42 |
| ubottu | Sorhan: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 03:42 |
| Sorhan | Bird, got a good walkthrough about how to setup? | 03:42 |
| RogerK | hello all, how can i install ubuntu with a local disk image | 03:42 |
| Jordan_U | Sorhan: Places > Network | 03:42 |
| KiDD420 | but the uuid it gives is correct for the USB drive | 03:42 |
| === chobbs_afk is now known as chobbs | ||
| KiDD420 | i read online that it just hasnt loaded USB modules | 03:42 |
| LinuX2half | what happens if I format to ext3 to NTFS will I able to boot my OS? | 03:42 |
| KiDD420 | and rootdelay is what is needed | 03:42 |
| Mr | adjfl | 03:42 |
| edbian | LinuX2half, if you format a partition it deletes all the data on it | 03:43 |
| Sorhan | when i tried to access windows workgroup, it keep asking for a usr/pwd but won't take the credientals that i'm giving it | 03:43 |
| dr_bungle | how do I locate root's password for the default installation of mysql-server on 9.10? | 03:44 |
| RogerK | i have a partitioned hard disk for ubuntu server installation, but i dont have a cd drive or ubuntu desktop to run the script from. I only have fedora desktops but id like my server to be ubuntu | 03:44 |
| howdeep | hello. i'm trying to install ubuntu from an installation cd. the pc boots the cd fine and after pressing 'install ubuntu' i get an error message saying "uncompression error -- system halted" what could this be? | 03:44 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: it sounds like something is messed in your initramfs | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | !install RogerK | 03:44 |
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan are you using a password | 03:44 |
| RocketLauncher | I hate pcmanfm so much. There's no prograss bar or anything to tell me how much i've got to go when transferring files to my flash drive. It's extremely irritating | 03:44 |
| KiDD420 | well.... how do I fix it? | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | !install | RogerK | 03:44 |
| ubottu | RogerK: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 03:44 |
| LinuX2half | okay. thanks | 03:44 |
| Sorhan | Awesome, I've tried an account that has a pwd and an account that doesn't | 03:45 |
| edbian | howdeep, Sounds like the CD image is bad. Try burning again slower and/or with a different image and/or with a different CD | 03:45 |
| KiDD420 | same thing happens when I make a USB startup disk also | 03:45 |
| chobbs | dr_bungle, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html | 03:45 |
| RogerK | jordan_U ive seen that. i want to know if theres an option to install from a local disk ie sda5 holds the installation image or whatever and installs to sda1-3 | 03:45 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: yeah, the usb modules need to be added to your initramfs | 03:46 |
| howdeep | edbian, this cd is a known good copy, i used it to install on other machines. i also tried my copy of notebook remix and it did the same thing. both discs confirmed working in other machines. i'm lost. | 03:46 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/meede822 http://pastebin.com/m2020721b | 03:46 |
| KiDD420 | how do I do that? | 03:46 |
| Bird|desktop | howdeep: drive fail? | 03:46 |
| Jordan_U | RogerK: One of the sections there should be how to install from linux | 03:46 |
| LinuX2half | can the empty partition be booted? | 03:46 |
| howdeep | Bird|desktop, it's possible, it's one of those external usb drives. it worked a few days ago. i'll double check it on another machine but i doubt that is it | 03:47 |
| edbian | LinuX2half, If there is no OS on a partition it cannot be booted (there is nothing to boot!) | 03:47 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: update-initramfs/mkinitramfs/you could hack it by hand if you had to... | 03:47 |
| Carlis3 | who can help me ?? | 03:47 |
| KiDD420 | is that a command? | 03:47 |
| KiDD420 | i would be willing to do it by hand | 03:47 |
| LinuX2half | oh I see | 03:47 |
| Bird|desktop | KiDD420: update-initramfs and mkinitramfs are both commands | 03:48 |
| RogerK | ahh found it thanks a bunch Jordan_U | 03:48 |
| Awesome3000 | Sorhan you need to used the passworded one windozes doesn't let non-pwds in are you sure the account is allowed to be acsesd remotely | 03:48 |
| edbian | LinuX2half, :) yeah... | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | brando753: I assume that http://pastebin.com/meede822 was the one where du was run as root? | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | RogerK: np :) | 03:48 |
| brando753 | first one was root | 03:48 |
| Awesome3000 | Carlis3 with what | 03:48 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: first one was root | 03:48 |
| Bird|desktop | now, does ANYONE have ANY clue as to pointing prevu at a different repo than the one its finding? | 03:48 |
| ChogyDan | brando753: try this one: du -hs /home/* | 03:48 |
| LinuX2half | why do I get the error Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 03:49 |
| eltume | Was Advanced Datapath Driver included in the Linux Kernel? | 03:49 |
| dr_bungle | does anyone know where the system stores the root password for mysql-server upon install? | 03:49 |
| n0-n4m3 | how do you open .txt files? | 03:49 |
| edbian | LinuX2half, You have another instance of a package manager running somewhere | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | brando753: That confirms it, Disk Usage Analizer looks at all of the sizes of all of the files in a given directory to get the size of that directory, if it can't read the file ( i.e. it doesn't have permission to ) then it can't find that file's size | 03:49 |
| chobbs | dr_bungle, It stores it in the mysql database itself - I linked you to instructions to recover | 03:49 |
| howdeep | anybody have any other ideas? | 03:49 |
| dr_bungle | sorry chobbs; didn't see it | 03:49 |
| LinuX2half | thanks | 03:49 |
| chobbs | dr_bungle, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/recover-mysql-root-password.html | 03:50 |
| LinuX2half | Does virtual-box run setup.exe files? | 03:50 |
| Bird|desktop | n0-n4m3: a text editor (gedit, vim, nano, emacs :) | 03:50 |
| Jordan_U | brando753: So you have exactly 49 GIG of files that can't be read by the user you are logged in as | 03:50 |
| brando753 | http://pastebin.com/m1d634bf8 | 03:50 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: im the only user ... | 03:50 |
| Bird|desktop | LinuX2half: you need an OS first :p | 03:50 |
| Carlis3 | awasome3000 i left a message in private chat | 03:50 |
| Jordan_U | brando753: The terminal doesn't lie :) | 03:50 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: so what do i do | 03:51 |
| Awesome3000 | !pm Carlis3 | 03:51 |
| Jordan_U | brando753: Check /home/ftp and /home/ftpusers | 03:51 |
| brando753 | Jordan_U: ? | 03:51 |

| mezquitale | W9GDV, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:17 |
| ChogyDan | chreekat: I don't know, but gstreamer is what allot of gnome apps like cheese will use | 04:17 |

| w00t3r | who buys fonts | 04:21 |
| mom_ | nulled, how will i use Hoefler Text font then? | 04:21 |
| Random832 | mom_→ probably the windows one - what, they don't give you both if you pay for it? | 04:21 |
| Ahmuck | will the ubuntu netbook remix work on any pc or just netbooks? | 04:22 |
| maco | Ahmuck: any | 04:22 |
| mom_ | Random832, i just dont know how i will tell which one is right . . . | 04:22 |
| Ahmuck | thanx maco | 04:23 |
| Random832 | mom_→ well what's the actual difference between them? is one ps and the other truetype? | 04:23 |
| mom_ | Random832, but are otf | 04:23 |
| Random832 | right | 04:23 |
| Ahmuck | the ubuntu remix, is a low hardware solution? | 04:23 |
| Random832 | otf can contain postscript or truetype | 04:23 |
| mom_ | Random832, otf | 04:23 |
| Random832 | does it not say which they are? | 04:23 |
| LinuX2half | I'll see guys tomorrow... | 04:23 |
| david__ | hello could anyone help me i am running xubuntu on a toshiba sattelite an i am wanting to hook my tv up with the svideo but it is not working anyone know how to fix this | 04:23 |
| LinuX2half | Wait until next time actually...? | 04:24 |
| mom_ | Random832, do i want postscript or truetype? | 04:24 |
| trism | mom_: the otf files should be the same, I bet the only difference is the archive format they let you download them in (zip/sit) | 04:24 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, you can probably install remix on any pc but you would lose your mind LoL | 04:24 |
| Ahmuck | maco, do you know, the netbook remix will work on lower end pc's ? 1ghz, 512 mb ram? | 04:24 |
| Random832 | http://www.google.com/search?q=otf+linux&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | 04:24 |
| Ahmuck | mezquitale: how so? | 04:24 |
| maco | Ahmuck: should be enough | 04:24 |
| Random832 | probably what trism said really though | 04:25 |
| david__ | does anyone know if i have to download specific drivers to get the svideo to work on xubuntu | 04:25 |
| edbian | david__, What happens if you boot the computer up while the TV and only the TV is connected via S-video. | 04:25 |
| sulio | dafud___ I dont think so... I used an s video link with xubuntu earlier on my TV | 04:26 |
| david__ | the tv screen stays black an says no signal | 04:26 |
| edbian | david__, During the whole boot process? | 04:26 |
| sulio | david__ the only thing that I needed to get it to work was to plug in the cable before I booted up the computer | 04:26 |
| mom_ | trism, well i downloaded this font before and windows and mac didnt work and someone made a linux version http://www.gringod.com/2006/11/01/new-version-of-monaco-font/ | 04:26 |
| david__ | yeah i had it connected when i booted | 04:26 |
| david__ | do you think that rebooting will help | 04:26 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, netbook is meant for netbooks that dont have the hardware of a desktop---like for video cards for example, you will have issues with compiz, it's easy to configure your machine to work like ubuntu remix flavor, youll have problems doing the opposite: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/04/try-ubuntu-netbook-remix-on-desktop.html | 04:27 |
| sulio | david__ Well, have you set the 'Source' of your TV to PC | 04:27 |
| david__ | i have set it to svideo it worked when i was running windows | 04:27 |
| edbian | david__, All I know is that the system probes the hardware during the boot process. If the TV isn't plugged in it won't be seen and thus, not used. | 04:27 |
| sulio | david__ On our TV, for example, we have different Sources : AV2 (for DVD/VCR player) and Cable (for Cable obviously) and PC (for s video hook ups) | 04:27 |
| sulio | david__ I see | 04:27 |
| edbian | david__, I've done it with my TV and computer before. I know it works ;) It's just getting it to work that's the tough part. Of course, I did it with VGA | 04:28 |
| ohhhhhh | hello i have a question | 04:28 |
| edbian | ohhhhhh, Hi :) what is it? | 04:28 |
| sulio | david__ I can tell you that I didn't have to install drivers... which version of Xubuntu are you running? | 04:28 |
| ohhhhhh | Im recently using ubuntu 9.10 | 04:29 |
| david__ | vga is not svideo though is it | 04:29 |
| mezquitale | !ask| ohhhhhh | 04:29 |
| ubottu | ohhhhhh: 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. :-) | 04:29 |
| edbian | ohhhhhh, good choice | 04:29 |
| ohhhhhh | and the "ubuntu software center" is default | 04:29 |
| ohhhhhh | and has no star ratings? | 04:29 |
| ohhhhhh | what happened? | 04:29 |
| ohhhhhh | the old add/remove had star ratings and I could sort by ratings/reviews | 04:29 |
| edbian | david__, can't argue that | 04:29 |
| sulio | david__ did you try checking forums? | 04:29 |
| david__ | i dont have the vga cables so that makes it a little hard | 04:29 |
| david__ | lol | 04:30 |
| === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| edbian | david__, It should work with s-video. the cable connection really is trivial in the matter. | 04:30 |
| gnuvince | During the installation, when you pick a locale (C, en_US.UTF-8, etc.), where is that written? Somewhere in /etc? | 04:30 |
| ohhhhhh | any way to revert? | 04:30 |
| bleepbloop | if I wanted to install pidgin, would just typing 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' in the terminal work? | 04:30 |
| david__ | that i understand i had the cable hooked up upon booting so there for i dont know what to do know lol | 04:30 |
| david__ | i will try rebooting an see if that will help | 04:31 |
| ohhhhhh | I would really like the add/remove with star ratings back | 04:31 |
| edbian | david__, Try googling "ubuntu and s-video" | 04:31 |
| edbian | david_, And the like | 04:31 |
| mezquitale | !troll | 04:32 |
| ubottu | trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 04:32 |
| ohhhhhh | ? | 04:32 |
| ohhhhhh | are you saying im trolling? im not, its a legit question that I am sure someone has the answer to | 04:32 |
| edbian | bleepbloop, it should. I'm not sure if that's the package name | 04:33 |
| Ahmuck | mezquitale: so netbook remix, as it appears and looks is what i'd get. simple menus, simple interface, simple desktop? | 04:33 |
| jamiejackson | hi folks, i can't get ubuntu booted. it can't seem to find my root device, which is actually a lvm volume inside of mdadm raid. i am at a loss as to how to troubleshoot. could someone help me? | 04:33 |
| sulio | david__ here is a forum for you, dunno if it will help http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/s-video-on-my-xubuntu-box-511654/ | 04:33 |
| Ahmuck | mezquitale - this - http://zeirus.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/ubuntunetbookremix_3.jpg - correct ? | 04:33 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, if that is what you want on your desktop, yes, it is possible to configure your desktop like netbook remix, just follow the guide | 04:33 |
| ohhhhhh | Nevermind I found the answer | 04:34 |
| Ahmuck | mezquitale: my goal is to have a nice turn key solutions for older desktops that don't overlaod them, and are easy for seniors to use | 04:34 |
| ohhhhhh | gnome-app-install | 04:34 |
| Ahmuck | mezquitale: this appears it would do the trick | 04:34 |
| w00t3r | is there a way to install a virtual machine in linux to run windows? i know there is in windows to run linux | 04:34 |
| microlith | w00t3r: VirtualBox | 04:34 |
| jamiejackson | w00t3r: i use sun's virtualbox | 04:34 |
| edbian | Ahmuck, No computers are considered easy to use by seniors | 04:34 |
| w00t3r | thx | 04:35 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, go ahead and have fun, just dont hurt yourself | 04:35 |
| edbian | w00t3r, Sure is! Check out virtualbox | 04:35 |
| Ahmuck | edbian: depends, my mother is 70 and uses a full ubuntu desktop | 04:35 |
| ohhhhhh | thanks everyone for your non helpfulness | 04:35 |
| edbian | Ahmuck, I stand corrected | 04:35 |
| Ahmuck | well, ok, not quite that old | 04:35 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, if you have an older machine I highly suggest you use xubuntu | 04:35 |
| Ahmuck | xubuntu is to heavy | 04:35 |
| blakkheim | Ahmuck: if you have an older machine, i highly suggest not using xubuntu as it is still bloated | 04:36 |
| Ahmuck | if netbook remix is heavier than xubuntu i need to keep looking | 04:36 |
| Ahmuck | yes, xubuntu is very bloated | 04:36 |
| Ahmuck | moonos ldxe worked nicely. i understand that ldxe is working towards a lubuntu version | 04:36 |
| mezquitale | blakkheim, ok if you dont recommend xubuntu then what do you recommend? dsl? | 04:36 |
| edbian | Ahmuck, I think it's lxde not ldxe | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | mezquitale: if he prefers a *buntu, then an ubuntu minimal iso will be good. | 04:37 |
| === chobbs is now known as chobbs_ | ||
| Ahmuck | i was looking at ubuntu remix, because of easy peasy (having all the codecs, etc.) | 04:37 |
| === chobbs_ is now known as chobbs | ||
| Ahmuck | blakkheim: would ubuntu minimal have abiword, gnumeric, firefox, etc.? | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | Ahmuck: you can install all of them | 04:38 |
| edbian | blakkheim, mezquitale: xfce is considered to be less bloated than gnome which is in turn less bloated than KDE | 04:38 |
| MenZa | Ahmuck: ubuntu minimal has next to nothing, but they're all available in the repositories. | 04:38 |
| blakkheim | !mini | Ahmuck | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Ahmuck: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 04:38 |

| urthmover | in KDE, what keyboard shortcut brings up the "Start" menu? | 04:38 |
| edbian | Ahmuck, Make a cluster! I'll take some ;) | 04:38 |
| MenZa | Ahmuck: Install Ubuntu, ship 'em off to a local school :) | 04:38 |
| Ahmuck | neither do i want to spend time with them. | 04:38 |
| blakkheim | Ahmuck: setup some servers or a compiling "cluster" | 04:38 |
| Code_Bleu | is there a channel for LUKS or cryptsetup? | 04:38 |
| Ahmuck | schools get free microsoft computers | 04:39 |
| === Ricky_ is now known as Guest47541 | ||
| edbian | Ahmuck, I don't know what schools you go to... | 04:39 |
| Ahmuck | having a small mem and proc footprint to put on them and a remix interface, i could give them away | 04:39 |
| emes | a recent quad-core processor would probably be faster than a cluster of 30 1ghz PCs | 04:39 |
| Ahmuck | emes: correct | 04:39 |
| Ahmuck | and less power | 04:39 |
| sulio | Mac Question for anyone :: I installed Linux on my Mac, but now I want to reinstall Mac OS X, or possibly dual boot.. Unfortunately, my computer cannot read the CDs now!! What can I do? | 04:39 |
| blakkheim | sulio: this is not a mac channel, sorry | 04:40 |
| MenZa | sulio: Try ##apple | 04:40 |
| edbian | sulio, Can't read what CD's ? You could also use unetbootin | 04:40 |
| urthmover | sulio: you should be able to boot from a vendor apple disc | 04:40 |
| hostilebread | Try using an external CD drive | 04:40 |
| hostilebread | Or something | 04:40 |
| Ahmuck | edbian: seriously, our schools got free software for the pc's. microsoft and a local computer company joined togather and donated the software | 04:40 |
| sulio | Cannot boot from the Mac OS X cds | 04:40 |
| sulio | I thnk this deserves Linux channel because my computer is formatted in everyway for Linux | 04:41 |
| Ahmuck | grants paid for the hardware | 04:41 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, the processors are running @ 1gig? so they should be PIII or better, with 512 megs of ram? xubuntu will do wonders on it | 04:41 |
| edbian | Ahmuck, I see | 04:41 |
| urthmover | sulio: Do you have applecare? | 04:41 |
| sulio | No | 04:41 |

| dav | totem question - is there a way to find out which track / chapter I'm currently watching when using totem to watch a DVD? | 04:41 |
| edbian | sulio, The ubuntu OS has nothing to do with what device boots | 04:41 |
| sulio | Hmm | 04:41 |
| sulio | well | 04:41 |
| edbian | sulio, You have to edit the bios to make things boot differently | 04:41 |
| sulio | Right | 04:41 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, your next bet would be damn small linux but I haven't tried it though | 04:41 |
| sulio | its the Mac bios | 04:41 |
| blakkheim | macs don't have a BIOS | 04:41 |
| sulio | which doesnt have a bios | 04:41 |
| edbian | sulio, ok.... I have no idea then | 04:42 |
| urthmover | sulio: there is a key you press during boot to boot from the CD....I think its the letter C or something | 04:42 |
| Ahmuck | heh, dsl is not senior friendly imho | 04:42 |
| edbian | sulio, That letter C things sounds familiar | 04:42 |
| Ahmuck | ok, well thanks for the info. i'll tuck it away | 04:42 |
| sulio | RIght urthmover, I do that, but the CD simply ejects | 04:42 |
| mezquitale | Ahmuck, you want to the mini distribution, like people have told you about | 04:42 |
| sulio | any idea why | 04:42 |
| sulio | Its not mac | 04:43 |
| sulio | I mean | 04:43 |
| sulio | it can boot from all Linux LiveCDs | 04:43 |
| urthmover | sulio: do any CDs work? | 04:43 |
| sulio | but it cannot boot from a Mac OS X discs | 04:43 |
| sulio | the original ones, too | 04:43 |
| sulio | maybe they just got scratched or something | 04:43 |

| sulio | blakkheim I use OS X for Final Cup Pro | 04:43 |
| urthmover | sulio: the EFI bootloader isn't something that gets changed even after you install linux....I'm not sure what is wrong | 04:43 |

| sulio | mezquitale Yes, but I don't think it is matches up to Final Cut Pro | 04:46 |
| l1nUx1z3r | bastid_raZor, read the question | 04:46 |

| MachinTruc | mezquitale: don't see it. tons of generic "linux foundation root hub" , one mouse, one keyboard | 05:01 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? | 05:01 |
| mezquitale | MachinTruc, also try hitting "refresh devices" in gparted | 05:01 |
| MachinTruc | mezquitale: did that a long time ago. what's weird, Windows 7 also doesn't detect the drive. | 05:01 |
| atari2600a | I need help | 05:01 |
| atari2600a | I need to kill gphoto2, AKA PtP | 05:01 |
| atari2600a | how can I do this!? | 05:01 |
| atari2600a | I *really* need to use my camera as a mass-storage device as it's the only thing here that supports SDHC | 05:02 |
| meowbuntu | Windy i use mp3 for all my music. cause they are the best format with cross platform and devices ready | 05:02 |
| atari2600a | (& I need boot-sector access) | 05:02 |
| Windy | okay. What version of ubuntu are you running, meowbuntu? | 05:03 |
| paragonc | howdy - I'm having some weird audio issues. My system audio seems to be delayed. Even Turning down the volume has a 3 second lag from when the slider moves, and when the volume actually changes. Watching videos, the audio slowly falls behind the video, and after a few minutes its unwatchable. It does it in VLC, it does it in Boxee, it does it in Firefox through veetle, flash, etc. | 05:03 |
| mezquitale | MachinTruc, disconnect the device and then remount your filesystems: "sudo mount -a", then do lsusb, then connect the device, then do lsbusb again and see if there's any difference from the first time you tried lsusb | 05:03 |
| atari2600a | anyone? | 05:03 |
| meowbuntu | ubuntu 9.10 what else | 05:04 |
| Hunt1 | hi all , can anyone pls check this problem of mine with xx264? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5f029fd0 | 05:04 |
| mezquitale | paragonc, sounds like an issue with pulseaudio, I would search the forums or launchpad | 05:04 |
| Windy | lol what else | 05:04 |
| bullgard | !patience | atari2600a | 05:04 |
| ubottu | atari2600a: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 05:04 |
| MachinTruc | mezquitale: that did it! | 05:05 |
| paragonc | mezquitale: pulseaudio is a pretty expansive subject - any direction on that? | 05:05 |
| mezquitale | MachinTruc, you can now see your drive in gparted? | 05:05 |
| MachinTruc | mezquitale: out of curiosity what did we just do? what did remounting the fs do? | 05:05 |

| skrite | i have about a 3 second long avi. I would like to make the individual frames a gif file for a website, how can i do that? | 05:06 |
| Windy | meowbuntu: sounds like RubyRipper might be your best bet | 05:07 |
| MachinTruc | skrite: i'd use avidemux to remove the unwanted frames, leaving an avi with just your desired video, then use mplayer to convert it to gif. | 05:07 |
| mezquitale | MachinTruc, machines get confused every now and then with devices like that, winblows blue screens, or simply fails and you have to reboot, what you basically did is unmounted your file systems, then remounted the file systems in your fstab config file, you had a clean system again without rebooting, then you put in your thumb drive again--this time you didnt confuse linux | 05:07 |
| MachinTruc | well thanks a lot mezquitale | 05:08 |
| mezquitale | no problem | 05:08 |
| skrite | MachinTruc, did not know mplayer can do that, thanks | 05:08 |
| mezquitale | paragon, just go to the forms or launchpad and describe your problem in the search string and use "pulseaudio" | 05:09 |
| meowbuntu | sound-juicer does not allow me to extract to mp3 how can i do that. do i need a codex for it | 05:10 |
| mezquitale | skrite, you want to ask that question in #ubuntustudio when someone is around, try on a weeknight | 05:10 |
| Windy | Does anybody know where the grub2 splash images are located? The link I have gotten from multiple locations does not work for me. | 05:10 |
| skrite | mezquitale, will do, thanks | 05:10 |
| bastid_raZor | Windy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 about half way down that page it talks about grub splash images | 05:13 |
| genii | Windy: According to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Splash%20Images%20&%20Theming .."GRUB 2 by default will look for splash images in /boot/grub and /usr/share/images/desktop-base" | 05:13 |
| meowbuntu | Grub 2 is to confusing bring back easy simple grub. that worked like a dream with no hastels for anyone. or just make grub 2 easy to configur llike grub was | 05:13 |
| mindfast | is there anyone here who could assist me with some troubles im currently having with connecting to the internet with ubuntu 9.10 | 05:13 |
| maco | meowbuntu: i dont think either is easier or harder. i think its more of what you've had a lot of practice with | 05:14 |
| bastid_raZor | meowbuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 explains it fairly well. | 05:15 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? | 05:15 |
| Windy | meowbuntu, do you have restricted stuff like LAME installed? | 05:15 |
| bullgard | mindfast: "some troubles" is no exact description. | 05:15 |
| * Windy dislikes faulty internet networks | 05:16 | |

| resumebg | anyone know how to resume a program suspended with ctrl+z (sleep) | 05:17 |
| kzero | resumebg: fg? | 05:17 |
| resumebg | fg -bash: fg: current: no such job | 05:18 |
| kzero | http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-0210/6m6nb7m9c?a=view | 05:18 |
| resumebg | kzero: but i see it in htop / top | 05:18 |
| Windy | meowbuntu, mp3 encoding is a proprietary filetype - someone owns it and won't share - and so it isn't enabled by default. the LAME library (and several other libraries that I got all confused and totally messed up everything with) try to ...um, get around the restriction? I don't really understand the why's myself, but *shrug* that's life. | 05:18 |
| kzero | resumebg: Yes. | 05:18 |
| meowbuntu | windy do you know how to do that | 05:19 |
| kzero | resumebg: You need to find the job_id and use fg <job_id> | 05:19 |
| bullgard | mindfast: First insert an Ubuntu Live CD and boot. Does this get Internet access for you? | 05:20 |
| resumebg | kzero: how do i find the job_id, its not the same as the pid | 05:20 |
| gonzojive | i just installed 9.10 onto a software RAID1 configuration, but grub does not even get to the boot menu | 05:20 |
| gonzojive | my system hangs at "grub loading." | 05:20 |
| Windy | meowbuntu: make sure you have everything you like about your install saved somehow, even if it is just steps written somewhere to follow again on a clean install, and then try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping#RubyRipper | 05:20 |
| rcscomp | I have two monitors and somehow the settings for the second monitor are not there anymore. How can I regenerate them? | 05:20 |
| genii | resumebg: jobs | 05:20 |
| gonzojive | any ideas how to get it to boot / diagnose the problem? | 05:20 |
| resumebg | genii: jobs yields nothing but i see it in htop / top | 05:21 |
| genii | resumebg: zombified? | 05:21 |
| resumebg | genii: no, accessing after re-sshing | 05:21 |
| kzero | have you tried using PID? | 05:22 |
| resumebg | kzero: yes | 05:22 |
| kzero | hmmm | 05:22 |
| kzero | if it's the only job try fg %0 | 05:23 |
| mindfast | im not sure what you mean? | 05:23 |
| resumebg | kzero: no such job, but thanks for the suggestion | 05:24 |
| mindfast | i have the cd in. but boot it how? | 05:24 |
| kzero | np....my sysadmin skills are really sucking now adays, gah! | 05:25 |
| Windy | meowbuntu, I have to go, but I wish you luck! | 05:25 |
| bullgard | mindfast: Switch on your computer. | 05:25 |
| kzero | This Mac has made my sysadmin skills atrophy | 05:25 |

| nomnex | nothing on the release not page of a default permission change on USB ext4 formatted HD. Need some feedback. Anyone with a USB HD formatted ext4 on 9.10, is there a permission change from ROOT (as it used to be) to the default logged user account? thanks | 05:37 |

| nomnex | gonzojive, do you have an intel chipset? | 05:43 |
| gonzojive | nomnex: AMD64 | 05:43 |
| resumebg | mindfast, try another network manager, such as wicd (wicd.sourceforge.net) | 05:43 |
| vecken | hello? | 05:43 |
| vecken | anyone here? | 05:43 |
| resumebg | vecken: go ahead and ask your question | 05:44 |
| vecken | ok, i have a little bit of experience with linux, i went to resize some partitions with g-parted and messed up the boot sector | 05:44 |
| vecken | i try to rebuild grub and i get error 15: file not found | 05:44 |
| vecken | i looked online and did not find my specific problem | 05:45 |
| vecken | only how to rebuidl grub | 05:45 |
| vecken | rebuild* | 05:45 |
| resumebg | vecken: are you using grub2 or grub? | 05:45 |
| vecken | i am unsure, whichever came with ubuntu 9.10 | 05:45 |
| resumebg | vecken: for future reference, don't resize windows operating system ntfs partitions, it can damage the windows bootloader | 05:45 |
| resumebg | vecken: lucky for you its grub2, and theres an easy way to reconfigure | 05:46 |
| vecken | i did not resize the windows one, only the EXT4 partition to make room for windows 7 and slax | 05:46 |
| vecken | what are the steps/link to re-install grub2? | 05:47 |
| nomnex | anyone with default permissions on /media/usb HD, if they have change to the logged user account vs (root), there is no need to format external device as fat32, but I can't be positive about the change, I am still on 9.04 | 05:47 |
| resumebg | vecken: im searching for the command, forgot it currently, but there is a rescan command for grub2 to detect the OS'es | 05:47 |
| vecken | ok, this is on a netbook so i have the ubuntu ISO on a flash drive, i also have a 9.04 live CD, which should i use? | 05:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | !grub2 | vecken | 05:47 |
| ubottu | vecken: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 05:47 |
| resumebg | vecken: try this: sudo update-grub | 05:48 |
| mindfast | how do i uninstall the network-manager. It says i cannot install wicd because of conflicts. | 05:48 |
| nomnex | !grub2 | 05:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | vecken, did you upgrade or fresh install 9.10? | 05:48 |
| resumebg | mindfast: sudo apt-get remove network-manager && sudo apt-get install wicd | 05:48 |
| vecken | ok, one moment, need to restart the netbook with the USB (9.10) | 05:48 |
| vecken | ps. this is why i love the linux community | 05:49 |
| RocketLauncher | I Just did sudo apt-get upgrade and my bm43 restricted driver was removed. I can't even get it back. | 05:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | vecken, which is why you're making room for Win7 - makes sense ;) | 05:49 |
| nomnex | gonzojive, I had the similar problem with an old intel chipset, I don't know about ADM64 | 05:49 |
| mindfast | how do i enter the sudo pw? when i try it enters nothing | 05:50 |
| vecken | i use windows 7 for school, i only keep XP on a 20gb partition for compatibility testing | 05:50 |
| resumebg | RocketLauncher: try finding and downloading the bm43 *.deb file to install locally with sudo dpkg --install *.deb | 05:50 |
| vecken | ubuntu is my primary | 05:50 |
| resumebg | RocketLauncher: is bm43 for the processor or wireless? | 05:51 |

| nomnex | 1281 connected and no answer for such simple questions: what's your default permissions on a USB HD auto-monted on media 1) root 2) logged user account? | 05:53 |
| resumebg | RocketLauncher: using the 24 version of firmware instead of bm43 is more stable for the wmp54gs | 05:53 |
| RocketLauncher | resumebg, where can i get this | 05:53 |
| resumebg | vecken: sorry, never came across that error, sounds like / shouldn't be a device, just in the /dev s are the device | 05:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | finemann, thought about creating a new user to test? | 05:53 |
| edbian | jerico_, you should pick something easier to learn to start. DNS server is hard | 05:53 |
| vecken | hmm | 05:54 |

| jerico_ | geirha: eth0 is being used for my DSL so I wanted to use eth1 for DHCP | 05:57 |
| KithKannan | edbian if you can help me fix my problem, you're smarter than me AND the guru who convinced me to switch to ubuntu | 05:57 |
| maco | jerico_: what does /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules have? | 05:57 |
| geirha | jerico_: ''ifconfig'' only lists lo and eth0 ? | 05:57 |
| Slix | This is it! | 05:57 |
| maco | er, or that | 05:58 |
| edbian | gerzel, I can help alot. First go to "myipaddress.com" or google "my ip address" | 05:58 |
| DBCOOPA | Need sound help for 9.10 if anyone can. | 05:58 |
| Hald | I have a problem with Stellarium. I installed the latest version and get this "stellarium: error while loading shared libraries: libQtOpenGL.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" when trying to run the program. I have tryed to find a deb package for qqtopengl but with no luck installing it from the repos. what should I do? | 05:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | gerzel, you'll need to open the SSH port on your firewall/router to forward to your internal IP address | 05:58 |
| Slix | For the last 30 minutes, I forgot I was using Ubuntu and wasn't using Windows. | 05:58 |
| Slix | :D | 05:58 |
| edbian | gerzel, That IP address is your public IP. It probably is dynamic if you are doing this from home. | 05:58 |
| resumebg | gerzel: you have to login to the router and open port 22 (or the port SSH is listening on) on the router, or put the computer (its local 192.168.x.x IP) into DMZ mode if your router supports that | 05:58 |
| edbian | gerzel, That IP address will get you to the router from anywhere in the world over the internet | 05:58 |
| vecken | windows 7 is not half bad, its the first version of windows that has no major issues | 05:58 |
| edbian | gerzel, Understand? | 05:58 |
| edbian | vecken, so far... | 05:58 |
| gerzel | Yes I do thanks | 05:58 |
| edbian | gerzel, Now you need to port forward on the router. Do you know how to do that? | 05:59 |
| jerico_ | geirha: ifconfig lists both | 05:59 |
| gerzel | open port 22, and get my public ip adress | 05:59 |
| KithKannan | Need help with sound/video glitching on ubuntu 9.04 | 05:59 |
| edbian | gerzel, you need to forward port 22 to the IP address on the LAN of your ssh server. yes | 05:59 |
| vecken | ok, i think i found the specific problem im having on the wiki, thanks guys | 05:59 |
| === cp is now known as Guest40350 | ||
| jerico_ | maco: both NICs are in that file as well | 05:59 |
| geirha | jerico_: eth0 and eth1? Is eth1 wired or wireless? | 05:59 |
| maco | jerico_: then both are being detected | 06:00 |
| edbian | gerzel, Be aware though that once you have port 22 forwarded random hackers will start attempting to to log into your ssh server with random usernames and passwords | 06:00 |
| edbian | gerzel, It's a good idea to deny root login and other such security upgrades | 06:00 |
| resumebg | edbian: but openssh-server is quite secure, especially since its bsd-approved | 06:00 |
| geirha | jerico_: You just need to add a static entry for it in interfaces. https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html | 06:01 |
| jerico_ | geirha: yes eth0 and eth1 both are ethernet | 06:01 |
| edbian | gerzel, what resumebg said is true. It is still a little safer to only allow 1 user name (your user name) to log in. Reduces the probably of those hackers guessing correctly | 06:01 |
| jerico_ | Okay, I already added the static but I wasn't sure if that would do it. Thanks for the help. | 06:01 |
| mindfast | so it still wont connect to internet... | 06:01 |
| edbian | gerzel, Any questions? | 06:02 |
| resumebg | mindfast: over ethernet you say? | 06:02 |
| mindfast | yes | 06:02 |
| DBCOOPA | Anyone know why no sound in 9.10. Alsamixer is installed up to date. nothing stupid like a mute button enabled. | 06:03 |
| resumebg | try going to Applications --> Internet --> Wicd Manager --> Preferences --> check both "Always..." and OK | 06:03 |
| RocketLauncher | how do i get my drivers back after sudo apt-get upgrade removed them? | 06:03 |
| IdleOne | DBCOOPA: possibly a mute button. check alsamixer | 06:03 |
| KithKannan | ok, I'll just throw this out there. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and updated my nvidia graphics drivers. My sound works fine when I'm not doing anything interesting (i.e. playing a straight audio file or using Mangler) but if I start playing my game or play an audio file with a visualizer running, the sound gets all glitchy | 06:04 |
| DBCOOPA | Its not a mute button. | 06:04 |
| DBCOOPA | I checked all the usual stuff. | 06:04 |
| mindfast | nothing | 06:05 |
| resumebg | DBCOOPA: I know a workaround (compile alsa from source) | 06:05 |
| mindfast | gets stuck on obtaining ip address... | 06:05 |
| IdleOne | DBCOOPA: ahh sorry, I misread you | 06:05 |
| jerico_ | If I set a static IP address for eth1 should the line "auto eth1" be in my interfaces file? | 06:05 |
| resumebg | mindfast: try disconnect and try to reconnect at least five times | 06:05 |
| edbian | jerico_, yes | 06:05 |
| DBCOOPA | ok. | 06:05 |
| DBCOOPA | i'll try to compile. | 06:05 |
| resumebg | mindfast: I get this error sometimes | 06:05 |
| KithKannan | anyone have an idea? | 06:05 |
| lwizardl | hi | 06:05 |
| resumebg | lwizardl: welcome, feel free to ask your question | 06:06 |
| RocketLauncher | I did sudo apt-get upgrade and my wireless drivers was removed. it's not in restricted devices either. what should I do? | 06:06 |
| lwizardl | how do i create removal guides as a layer in gimp? i am trying to create a new layer and add guides so then when I uncheck the layer the guides will disappear, but they are still there when i uncheck the layer | 06:07 |
| jerico_ | So if in my interfaces I set a static IP then shouldn't ifconfig reflect that? It isn't listing any IPV4 addresses in my ifconfig output | 06:07 |
| resumebg | RocketLauncher: maybe the manufact. has it on their website (i believe broadcom) | 06:07 |
| jerico_ | Do I need to restart my network for it to take effect? | 06:07 |
| RocketLauncher | resumebg, i'll check | 06:07 |
| geirha | jerico_: Yes, or just take up/down the specific device with ''sudo ifup eth1''/''sudo ifdown eth1'' | 06:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | jerico_, do you have your DNS server addresses recorded somewhere? you'll need them if you've switched to static IP | 06:08 |
| strongsoul | i go mad when my ubuntu 9 wont connect to any wireless network all of sudden, inspite of specfying the network key | 06:09 |
| geirha | ZykoticK9: No, his eth0 is dynamic, it should provide dns. He wants to run a dhcp server on eth1 | 06:09 |
| jerico_ | ZykoticK9: eth0 gets DNS server addresses from my ISP. Somehow I need to tell it to give it to eth1 or something. | 06:10 |
| strongsoul | any help would be very timely | 06:10 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: you could try another network manager, such as wicd; are you familiar with that? | 06:10 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, nope | 06:10 |
| strongsoul | should i install or it is default ? | 06:10 |
| bahodir | hi guys, | 06:10 |
| jerico_ | when I type ifdown eth1 it says eth1 not configured | 06:11 |
| nomnex | still nobody with my question, I want to know if /etc/hal/... preferences.fdi in the machine running 9.10 has been modified of this is the default setting for 9.10 thansk | 06:11 |
| bahodir | is there a command similar to gksu but without root privileges? | 06:11 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, got it, whats the name of current default one ? | 06:11 |
| strongsoul | il uninstall it | 06:11 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: http://wicd.sourceforge.net, the current is network-manager or network-manager-gnome i believe | 06:11 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: download the package first (wicd) before removing current | 06:11 |
| mindfast | still no connection | 06:12 |
| resumebg | bahodir: maybe gksudo? | 06:12 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, am doing a apt-get install | 06:12 |
| strongsoul | is that good ? | 06:12 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: that should work | 06:12 |
| geirha | jerico_: Expected if you haven't already brought it up with ifup | 06:12 |
| KithKannan | Anyone have any idea why my sound would become choppy when my computer is doing anything graphical (running a game, using an audio visualizer, playing a movie, etc) but run fine at all other times? | 06:12 |
| Tamnakz | is there an irc room for wireless help? | 06:13 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, wicd installed, now when i type network-manager it says failed to load some applets | 06:13 |
| strongsoul | and quits | 06:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | bahodir, FYI gksu = gksudo -- what do you mean, if you don't want root priviledges just run the program directly?!?! | 06:13 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: try the most recent on wicd.sourceforge.net | 06:13 |
| Xfact | I ma running karmic and my sound settings is set to headphones, how to change it to sub woofer or sound box? | 06:13 |
| Xfact | ? | 06:13 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: ubuntu doesn't update fast enough for wicd much of the time (and their own repos) | 06:13 |
| jerico_ | geirha: Failed to bring up eth1. | 06:14 |
| jerico_ | eth1 outputs Don't seem to be have all the variables for eth1/inet. | 06:14 |
| jerico_ | er. ifup eth1 outputs that | 06:14 |
| nomnex | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB - nothing there too about default permissions on /media/ USB volumes | 06:14 |
| RocketLauncher | resumebg, i cant find anything | 06:14 |
| mindfast | im thinking it just wont work for that pc.... tried on 2 different linux systems.... same problem with both.... but when i use xp on the same pc.... it will connect to interent fine..... | 06:14 |
| RocketLauncher | this blows my mind this even happened in the first place | 06:14 |
| jerico_ | what the shit is a eth1/inet? | 06:15 |
| bullgard | Synaptic: "totem-xine is a simple media player for the GNOME desktop (transitional package)." From where to where is this transition? | 06:15 |
| geirha | jerico_: pastebin your interfaces file. ''pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces'' | 06:15 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, If you are using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty), Wicd 1.5.9 is in the universe repository, so a simple sudo apt-get install wicd will do it. | 06:15 |
| strongsoul | ???? | 06:15 |
| resumebg | RocketLauncher: thats all i knew about that driver (very little to being) maybe someone else here might know more | 06:15 |
| bahodir | ZykoticK9: thanks for your answer, please take a look at http://superuser.com/questions/94185/gksu-without-root-privileges | 06:15 |
| geirha | jerico_: pastebinit is not installed by default, so you may need to install it. | 06:15 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: if it doesn't try 1.6 | 06:15 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: if it doesn't try 1.6.2.2 is the latest i believe | 06:16 |
| jerico_ | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m101ca631 | 06:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | bahodir, is this a terminal command? or a GUI command? if it's terminal you'll need "run in terminal" for your launcher | 06:16 |
| jerico_ | I might have patebin'd that correctly | 06:16 |
| bahodir | ZykoticK9: it's a terminal command, but it brings up a GUI program | 06:17 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, apt-get install has installed 1.6.1 in my system | 06:17 |
| jerico_ | coke cola is amazing | 06:17 |
| strongsoul | 1 min | 06:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | bahodir, try something like "gnome-terminal -e /path/to/pida-run.py" | 06:18 |
| bahodir | ZykoticK9: i did what you told (and the guy on superuser), and it opens fine. but is there a way not to show terminal a t all? | 06:18 |
| geirha | jerico_: Replace the network line with a netmask line. ''netmask 255.255.255.0'' for instance. | 06:18 |
| bahodir | ZykoticK9: ok | 06:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | bahodir, if it starts in a terminal (you need a terminal)?!?! | 06:19 |
| Hald | How can I repair a package? | 06:19 |
| geirha | jerico_: ''man interfaces'' explains the syntax of that file btw. | 06:19 |
| bahodir | ZykoticK9: ok, thanks | 06:19 |
| resumebg | Hald: can you provide more detail please? | 06:19 |
| Hald | I'm trying to install libqt4-opengl-ubuntu1.4 but get the message that I have to repair the package. Its not even installed.... | 06:20 |
| bahodir | buy guys | 06:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hald, have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" | 06:20 |
| RocketLauncher | can someone help me? I did sudo apt-get upgrade and my wireless drivers were removed. I got them from restricted devices. I can't get them back now either. What do I do? | 06:21 |
| jerico_ | geirha: You're awesome. that worked. | 06:21 |
| resumebg | Hald: maybe try sudo dpkg --configure -a | 06:21 |
| Oak | Does anyone know where the pidgin theme folder located? | 06:21 |
| resumebg | RocketLanucher: for everyone else, you might want to include the exact driver in your question next repeat | 06:21 |
| Dravekx | why do I keep seeing 11 packages can be updated.??? | 06:22 |
| jerico_ | That even got my DHCP server working! | 06:22 |
| geirha | jerico_: Great! :) | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | Oak, probably either in ~/.purple or /usr/share/purple -- i don't have any themes installed so not sure | 06:22 |
| edbian | jerico_, See! Not so hard after all | 06:22 |
| Dravekx | I updated, and I keep seeing "11 packages can be updated." | 06:22 |
| resumebg | Dravekx: there are system or software updates, to upgrade, try sudo apt-get upgrade in terminal | 06:23 |
| Oak | ZykoticK9: I just needed some general direction in which to go. I'll check though, thanks | 06:23 |
| Hald | ZykoticK9: I get this "libqt4-opengl: Beroende av: libqtcore4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) men 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 kommer att installeras Beroende av: libqtgui4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) men 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 kommer att installeras" | 06:23 |
| RocketLauncher | resumebg, i'll do that | 06:23 |
| edbian | Dravekx, update updates the list of packages available. upgrade actually switches out for the newer versions | 06:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hald, that's not english - i don't know what it says??? | 06:23 |
| Dravekx | ohhh | 06:23 |
| resumebg | Dravekx: or System --> Administration --> Update Manager | 06:23 |
| Dravekx | resumebg, ubuntu server via ssh | 06:23 |
| Home_ | does anyone know why i cannot connect to internet with fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 ..... ive tried 2 differernt network cards.. | 06:23 |
| edbian | Dravekx, X-Forwarding! :) :) | 06:24 |
| RocketLauncher | I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted devices either. Any ideas? | 06:24 |
| Hald | ZykoticK9: it means libqtcore4 (= 4.4.3-0ubuntu1) but 4.4.3-0ubuntu1.4 will be installed. It makes no sense at all | 06:24 |
| maco | Hald: try running "sudo apt-get update"? | 06:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | Hald, sorry man that's very application specific I don't know what to suggest for you | 06:25 |
| pyramid | hi | 06:25 |
| Dravekx | edbian, anyway to clean up the server of programs and things Im not using? | 06:25 |
| maco | Hald: it means your libqt4-opengl is looking for older libraries than what's currently in the repos | 06:25 |
| Dravekx | "easy way?" | 06:25 |
| edbian | Dravekx, use aptitude instead of apt-get it does it for you | 06:25 |
| pyramid | could someone help me with squidguard? i have set it up according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard -- but i would like the proxy to only work for selected ip:s | 06:25 |
| Hald | maco I see. Thank you. | 06:25 |
| edbian | Dravekx, sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get auto-clean | 06:25 |
| sigmab3ta | hey guys, running karmic right now, just went on an uninstalling spree of stuff thats in a default setup, now i dont have a volume control applet. anyone know what package contains it? | 06:26 |
| Dravekx | great! :) | 06:26 |
| edbian | Dravekx, sudo apt-get autoremove | 06:26 |
| maco | sigmab3ta: pulseaudio | 06:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | sigmab3ta, did you try and remove pulseaudio? | 06:26 |
| sigmab3ta | pulseaudio is installed | 06:26 |
| edbian | Dravekx, That will remove programs not being used. Unfortunately the home folder still retains all sorts of settings in those hidden . folders | 06:26 |
| sigmab3ta | last thing i uninstalled was brasero and rhythmbox (im on a netbook so no cd drive and i want to use songbird) | 06:26 |
| Hald | I solved my problem by downloading the package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/i386/libqt4-opengl/download. Thanks for all the help and I will try runing apt-get update next time I run into problems. Thanks folks, you are the best! | 06:26 |
| edbian | Hald, Thanks for using Ubuntu! :) | 06:27 |
| RocketLauncher | I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? | 06:27 |
| Retr0x | Can someone help me out? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft Says I can copy files from my Windows install to my Ubuntu install? | 06:27 |
| Retr0x | How would I do that? | 06:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | RocketLauncher, when you boot your comp do you get choices of what kernel to boot? if so can you try booting an old kernel and see if the driver reappears? just a suggestion. Good luck. | 06:28 |
| RocketLauncher | nope ZykoticK9 | 06:29 |
| sigmab3ta | the volume control applet should show up in Add to Panel... but it doesnt | 06:29 |

| strongsoul | can somebody help me with this internet connection problem :( | 06:42 |
| chuche | Try searching for something along those lines in Synaptic. | 06:42 |
| sunson | [sorta OT] does the crond (ISC cron v4.1) that comes packaged with rhel5.2 support disabling a /etc/cron.d/ job if the file name contains a literal '.'? I know that this works on vixie cron. | 06:42 |
| sunson | (the one pakcaged with ubuntu) | 06:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | nandu, good luck man - i have no idea if you'll be able to get those back. i don't know if there is a mozilla and/or thunderbird specific channel but you might want to check if there is. Good luck man. | 06:42 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: back, is that with version 1.6.2.2? | 06:43 |
| RocketLauncher | I have a Linksys WMP54GS. It has the BCM4318 chip. Restricted devices had the driver for me and it worked until I did sudo apt-get upgrade, which removed it. I can't get it back in restricted d\evices either. Any ideas? | 06:43 |
| strongsoul | no, its 1.6.1 | 06:43 |
| strongsoul | will that not work ? | 06:43 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: maybe it was a bug in 1.6.1, try 1.6.2.2 | 06:43 |
| strongsoul | resumebg, ^ | 06:43 |
| strongsoul | ok | 06:43 |
| phox_ | lol | 06:43 |
| Home_ | does anyone know how i can get my internet to work on a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 .... ive tried with 2 different network cards, and i also tried both network-manager and wicd manager. and still no internet | 06:43 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: i have to go to sleep, any other questions before I head out? | 06:44 |
| strongsoul | 1 min please | 06:44 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: ok | 06:44 |
| chuche | RocketLauncher, try searching for the drivers directly from Synaptic. Sometimes Jockey, the Restricted Hardware app, messes up after an upgrade. I suspect it has to do with it losing the server in which the drivers are at. | 06:44 |
| nandu | I guyes I have rebuild index of my INBOX Folder & after that all my old mails are gone, any idea how to recover that gone mails? | 06:44 |
| hadi | ZykoticK9: do u think that KGrubEditor would help ? | 06:45 |
| m0ar | I'm desperate! I suddenly can't connect to the internet with my karmic; the nm-applet says it connected but I can't reach the internet. a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart outputs that it doesn't know of wlan0! What may have happened, worked fine yesterday! | 06:45 |
| chuche | Did you make sure you left copies of your e-mail on the POP3 server? | 06:45 |
| RocketLauncher | chuche, i looked. i have b43-fwcutter but i dont know how to use it | 06:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | hadi, sorry man I'm not going to help with your issue - i think you'll just break things more using Grub1 tools on a Grub2 install -- good luck man. | 06:45 |
| Kernel32 | Good morning Everyone. | 06:45 |

| resumebg | m0ar: this problem is happening to everyone tonight, try the latest version of wicd from http://wicd.sourceforge.net | 06:45 |

| geitenneuker | how can i do this= | 06:49 |
| resumebg | m0ar: not sure, but there are many people with the same network problem jumping in the channel, wicd is the only alternative to the default network-manager | 06:49 |
| Kernel32 | ... No reply... So another one: How can i make a backup from this computer Named XXend to XXnew ? So i dont have to install everything ? | 06:49 |
| m0ar | resumebg: I'll try, thank you | 06:49 |
| powertool08 | Tamnakz: It does a/b/g not sure about n. | 06:50 |
| chuche | Yeah... Home_ as per the other comments I suggest you install wicd instead of the default NetworkManager. | 06:50 |
| geitenneuker | i can only download with aprox 20mb/s but it should be like 60mb/s is anyone here to help? | 06:50 |
| Home_ | i have that one currently installed | 06:50 |

| strongsoul | resumebg, :( nope | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | geitenneuker: Could they have been referring to the mtu instead of mss? I've only changed that in the router settings. | 06:51 |
| Tamnakz | powertool08: you're right, their site clarifies | 06:51 |
| Home_ | not sure what that is? | 06:51 |
| meowbuntu | !ask | 06:51 |
| 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. :-) | 06:51 |
| geitenneuker | powertool: my mtu us 1500 as usual on the net | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | Tamnakz: I know it does g, I've used it to look at my g network. | 06:51 |

| Tamnakz | powertool08: do you happen to know the version you use? | 06:53 |
| chuche | There may be other reasons for connection failure. Do you have PPPoE on the modem/router? In other words do you have to put in a password on Windows when you want to connect to the net? | 06:53 |
| resumebg | strongsoul: to compile wicd, in terminal, find the file (cd to), sudo sudo ./setup.py configure && sudo ./setup install | 06:53 |
| Home_ | no i dont | 06:53 |
| meowbuntu | Home_, you dont know what | 06:54 |

| exploreralex | ZykoticK9:its already unchecked | 07:29 |
| powertool08 | Tamnakz: IIRC, a larger # on signal to noise is better, the larger the dBm, the stronger the signal, and usually the closer the router. | 07:29 |
| Tamnakz | and thus high noise level = bad? | 07:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | exploreralex, and have you run "sudo apt-get update" since unchecking it? | 07:29 |
| powertool08 | Tamnakz: Yes, high signal is good, high noise is bad. | 07:30 |
| Tamnakz | powertool08 any knowledge about the relation to signal quality and level? quality shows a 42 (which is the 'strength' showed on the normal meter) and level is 89? | 07:31 |
| bullgard | After installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? | 07:32 |
| powertool08 | Tamnakz: The quality should be a good metric to go by, higher the number, better the connection. as for the 'level is 89' What level? Signal level? Noise level? | 07:35 |

| Xeross_ | what can I do to make it work | 07:41 |
| kinja-sheep | Dravekx: There are no "imagemagick" command. Just bunch of commands, about 10 or so.. that you can use to convert and whatnot. | 07:41 |

| bullgard | After installing Ubuntu 9.10 using the "Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition" CD but keeping my /home partition from 8.04.3, Ubuntu 9.10 accepts my password in virtual consoles but Update Manager does not. (It includes an AltGr keystroke.) How to fix that? | 07:47 |
| powertool08 | songer: Ok, do you have openssh-server installed? | 07:47 |
| songer | powertool08: i didn't know that i need to generate my private key | 07:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, have you tried changing your password in console and then tried with Update Manager? Just a suggestion. | 07:48 |
| powertool08 | songer: Yep, it makes it more unique and harder to crack. It wouldn't be very effective if everyone received the same key pair after installing. | 07:49 |
| snow_ | I used ssh before ,but it didn't worek | 07:49 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: No, I have not. | 07:49 |
| powertool08 | songer: If you haven't already: 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' | 07:50 |
| songer | powertool08: how can i get my private key? | 07:50 |
| songer | ok i already have it | 07:50 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: Your advice does not work. UpdateManager needs my password. | 07:51 |
| dacs | bullgard: i can see all the boxes i have on my lan (windows) but not my ubuntu | 07:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, i'm suggesting you change your password in console - then you'll have to log out of your GUI and back in with the new password | 07:51 |
| powertool08 | songer: Now run 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048' Note that the -t rsa is key type rsa, there is also a key type of dsa. Its up to you, I use rsa. Also, the -b 2048 is the number of bits in the key, I use a much higher number but I'm paranoid, again, it's up to you. | 07:52 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: My password works when I log in. It does not work for UpdateManager, Synaptic and probably more GUI programs. | 07:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, doesn't work with the special character i take it -- why not try removing it/changing your password. | 07:53 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: Because I cannot remember more than a few passwords. | 07:54 |
| powertool08 | songer: This will generate your public/private keypair. After the command finishes, try 'ls' and you should see some files named id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. | 07:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | bullgard, good luck man | 07:54 |
| songer | powertool08: i can changer the 2048? | 07:54 |
| ouyes | my xfce broke down | 07:54 |
| bullgard | ZykoticK9: Thank you. | 07:55 |
| ouyes | what a thing | 07:55 |
| madis | mm, awn is great | 07:55 |
| ouyes | does anyone use xfce here? | 07:55 |
| powertool08 | songer: Yep, I usually keep it a nice round RAM number. Ex: 1024, 2048, 4096, etc. | 07:55 |
| Xfact | Ubuntu can read NTFS and FAT32 flash drives and external HDDs? | 07:55 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: I do. | 07:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | Xfact, yes | 07:56 |
| arghh2d2 | Xfact: gnu/linux can read those, yes | 07:56 |
| powertool08 | songer: The id_rsa file is your private key. PROTECT IT! Anyone who has this file can log in. | 07:56 |
| madis | Does it happen to you too, when doing apt-get install whatever, the whole cpu is accessed by it and harddrive does a lot of work - which leads to pc mostly unusable during the install | 07:56 |
| ouyes | powertool08, which version? 8.04? | 07:56 |
| Xfact | Which is the default file system of Ubuntu linux? | 07:56 |
| madis | Xfact, ext4 | 07:56 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: I use it on a debian box. | 07:56 |
| Xfact | ohh... thanks guys for information :) | 07:57 |
| arghh2d2 | Xfact: i recomend ext3, but a bunch in here are gonna tel you "ext4 all the way bro!" | 07:57 |
| madis | arghh2d2, why ext3? | 07:57 |
| ouyes | powertool08, i changed gnome to xfce because the cpu was 38% in use while i did nothing in gonme, but after the change, i never boot into xfce successfully,so i reinstalled the os | 07:58 |
| powertool08 | songer: I also suggest putting a passphrase, this way, if your key is compromised (lost usb drive or something) then the person has to guess the passphrase too. | 07:58 |
| ouyes | powertool08, why you use xfce? | 07:58 |
| arghh2d2 | ext4 isnt as stable as i'd like it to be, and it's incompatible with with some things | 07:58 |
| madis | powertool08, I also suggest checking out lxde | 07:59 |
| madis | if you want low resource usage | 07:59 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: I don't like gnome, I used kde until version 4 came out. KDE4 is worse than gnome, so I went to xfce. | 07:59 |
| powertool08 | madis: I have :) | 07:59 |
| ouyes | powertool08, frankly speaking, i prefer gnome it is beautiful, but it is slow on my laptop | 07:59 |
| madis | Actually, I've also tried them all, but went with gnome, as it has the most developers in it and I enjoy the eyecandy | 08:00 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: I'm somewhat of a minimalist, so I like that its lightweight, fairly fast. And it doesn't come bundled with tons of programs. | 08:00 |
| ouyes | powertool08, you are funny | 08:00 |
| songer | powertool08: i don't know what to do. 4096 | 08:00 |
| madis | Though I'm not using Linux practically, so me using gnome doesn't mean much | 08:00 |
| songer | Enter file in which to save the key (/home/songer/.ssh/id_rsa): | 08:00 |
| powertool08 | songer: That's a good number for bits. | 08:00 |
| powertool08 | songer: Go with the default | 08:01 |
| powertool08 | songer: Then add a nice long, complex, yet easy to remember passphrase. | 08:01 |
| ouyes | powertool08, il get used to it | 08:01 |
| songer | just hit anter? | 08:01 |
| powertool08 | songer: After your passphrase, yes. You should have to type it twice, then it will generate the key. | 08:02 |
| ouyes | powertool08, the performance is the most important for a expert, or a hackert | 08:02 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: Ha, I guess so. I'm on old hardware so its partially a necessity for me. Plus I like it. | 08:02 |

| * arghh2d2 is still sporting a P2 | 08:04 | |

| Sacho | a package of packages | 08:04 |

| happy | 大家好 | 08:05 |
| arghh2d2 | lol, i have a amd 3200+ too | 08:05 |

| powertool08 | songer: How are you doing over there? Still waiting for it to finish generating the keys? | 08:05 |
| titan_ark | and I thought my 1.9Gig P4 was worth sending to the museum :P | 08:06 |
| ouyes | powertool08, what version of ubuntu are you using ? 8.04 or 9.04 ? is it stable, fast enough? is the older version always faster than the newer one? | 08:06 |

| tonyyarusso | bullgard, system>prefs>keyboard>layout options, make sure it's set right in there | 08:21 |
| powertool08 | dacs: If you changed the port, you need to specify it with ssh -p <your port #> user@host. If its windows to linux, use putty. You can use putty-gen to make another keypair if you're using key based authentication, or you can import the linux key into putty. | 08:21 |

| infid | Blio isn't going to work in linux? :( | 08:24 |
| nulled | securecrt is nice but costs money, putty is free | 08:25 |
| devunt | !test | 08:25 |
| devunt | hmm. | 08:25 |
| powertool08 | Agreed, it looks nice. | 08:25 |
| infid | who needs tabs when you can use screen | 08:25 |
| schone | hi all, if i was to move to ubuntu is there a way to make all the fonts i.e. in firefox appear as Arial or is Arial a windows font only. | 08:25 |
| * om26er was gonna throw a !botabuse | 08:25 | |
| * powertool08 wondered how much longer before it was thrown. | 08:26 | |
| om26er | schone, sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 08:26 |
| nulled | schone: all fonts in windows is avilable to Ubuntu | 08:26 |
| schone | nice! just about to install it just wanted to check | 08:26 |
| nulled | weelcome to the other side | 08:26 |
| powertool08 | songer: Still out there? | 08:27 |
| nulled | you are now FREE | 08:27 |
| dacs | powertool08: so any suggestions on why my ssh is not working | 08:27 |
| infid | freedom is free | 08:27 |
| songer | yes, how can i see hidden files? | 08:27 |
| chuche | I am trying to make shortcuts to applications on Ubuntu Karmic x86_64... Everytime I try to launch the application through the icon nothing happens. Help? | 08:27 |
| infid | songer ls -l | 08:27 |
| nulled | ls -la | 08:27 |
| infid | ls -a i meant jeez | 08:27 |
| devunt | ls- al | 08:27 |
| powertool08 | dacs: Did you check to make sure all the ports are open/forwarded? | 08:27 |
| nulled | or control+h in nautalis | 08:27 |
| chuche | I take the same exact steps in the x86 version and it works wonderfully. | 08:27 |
| kadoban | hmm, i did something maybe dumb. i was having problems with apache, so i removed /etc/apache2 and then uninstalled and reinstalled apache2. but it didn't seem to recreate all of the files that it needs (it complains about /etc/apache2/envvars not existing). is there some way to fix? | 08:27 |
| dacs | powertool08: not this is a fresh install of ubuntu, can you show me how to check them | 08:28 |
| MTeck_ | does 9.10 have ext4 support? | 08:28 |
| devunt | yes | 08:28 |

| bullgard | tonyyarusso: On a similar Ubuntu 9.10 Thinkpad computer Keyboard model=Generic 105-key (Intl) PC, Layout=Germany=Default > Type to test settings AltGr+Q produces '@', but on the faulty computer it produces 'q'. What layout option do I have to change? | 08:28 |
| powertool08 | LOL! FAQ Question #1 on the securecrt page: Is securecrt year 2000 compliant? | 08:29 |
| nulled | apache2 only has apache2ctl | 08:29 |
| madis | ManBearPig, isn't it more like PigManBear? | 08:29 |
| nulled | reinstall apache-common and all that crap | 08:29 |
| MTeck_ | devunt: thanks | 08:29 |
| ManBearPig | madis: no it's ManBearPig stupid | 08:29 |
| ManBearPig | haha | 08:29 |
| powertool08 | dacs: Well, if you're connecting out from the fresh install, it shouldn't block it. I was referring to any firewalls between you and the remote server. | 08:29 |
| devunt | . | 08:29 |
| tonyyarusso | bullgard, something labelled altgr. that's about all I know. | 08:30 |
| kadoban | nulled: it removed and then installed like 7 packages, one of which was apache2.2-common, but still no luck | 08:30 |
| powertool08 | powertool08: If you just use ssh and not securecrt does it connect ok? | 08:30 |
| dacs | powertool08: none | 08:30 |
| nulled | apt-get autoremove | 08:30 |
| powertool08 | dacs: None? No firewalls on the route? | 08:30 |
| ManBearPig | what channel is for web programming questions? | 08:30 |
| nulled | Pig: php | 08:31 |
| iAmerikan | ManBearPig, what language? | 08:31 |

| ManBearPig | iAmerican: I am trying to use JQUERY | 08:31 |
| nulled | mootools FTW | 08:32 |
| powertool08 | dacs: What ssh? I think the client does, the server has to be apt-got. | 08:32 |
| powertool08 | ManBearPig: #html could probably point you in the right direction. | 08:32 |
| iAmerikan | ##javascript | 08:32 |
| dacs | powertool08: well i didn't install any client i went for apt-get install srvr | 08:32 |
| yang | I am trying to build an ubuntu guest on a debian host - Can someone point me to a good manual, I cannot find the procedure on http://linux-vserver.org/Installation_on_Ubuntu, but I assume its probably by using debootstrap "... -d <distribution> -m http://<mirror>" ? | 08:33 |
| madis | #javaservlet | 08:33 |
| kadoban | seems to be working now, thanks | 08:34 |
| powertool08 | dacs: dacs Just try 'ssh user@remotehost' and see what kind of message you get. | 08:34 |
| dacs | powertool08: from windows ! | 08:34 |
| meowbuntu | hi i have a file in a directory with the name Ubuntu 9.10 i cant cd to it in terminal need help | 08:34 |
| powertool08 | dacs: Oh ya, sorry. | 08:34 |
| songer | powertool08: i can't find id_rsa. just the authorized_keys | 08:35 |
| devunt | I'm so tired because my password is long. So I want to change my password. I typed my password in "change password" in "my information". but that window say "check your password..." while long time | 08:35 |
| yang | powertool08: id_rsa is your private key, authorized_keys is your id_rsa.pub | 08:35 |
| powertool08 | songer: Ok, cd back into ~/.ssh, then re-run the ssh-keygen command, after its done, 'ls' to verify they were created. | 08:35 |

| nomad77 | meowbuntu: try chmod +x directory | 08:36 |
| ouyes | i ever used the alternate cd to install ubuntu, but i never had the chance to configurate the software | 08:36 |
| powertool08 | dacs: Well you could try putty. Or you could look around securecrt and see if if it has a verbose feature, or ability to output to a log. What kind of error does it give you anyway? | 08:37 |
| ouyes | they were installed all by default | 08:37 |
| meowbuntu | nomad i get no such file or directory. | 08:37 |
| ouyes | how can i configurate the packages to be installed ?? | 08:37 |
| dacs | powertool08: timing out...it was working fine for my Debian | 08:37 |
| songer | powertool08: cd back into ~/.ssh, says no such file.. | 08:37 |
| meowbuntu | nomad77, any ideas | 08:38 |
| meowbuntu | nomad77, i get no such file or directory | 08:38 |
| powertool08 | dacs: Does it use passwords? keypairs? certificates? some proprietary authentication method? | 08:38 |
| nomad77 | meowbuntu: i mean chmod +x "full-path-to-folder" without the quotes | 08:38 |
| meowbuntu | probably cause its got a space in name | 08:38 |
| powertool08 | songer: Ok, try 'cd /home/songer/.ssh' | 08:39 |
| dacs | powertool08: yes...and i tried putty and i am able to connect...maybe crt is caching an old key from the Debian box ..hmmmm | 08:39 |
| powertool08 | songer: Or maybe its in .ssh2 if you don't have an .ssh folder. | 08:39 |
| nomad77 | meowbuntu: try mv oldname newname(without a space) | 08:39 |
| songer | i have one | 08:40 |
| powertool08 | dacs: That sounds feasible. | 08:40 |

| devunt | How can I remove it? | 08:41 |
| powertool08 | songer: Ok, now run the ssh-keygen command from earlier. | 08:42 |
| powertool08 | Is it just me or did the channel get kinda quiet? | 08:42 |
| songer | power tool08: says, Enter file in which to save the key (/home/songer/.ssh/id_rsa): | 08:43 |
| powertool08 | songer: hit enter and it will save in that location. | 08:43 |
| pradalvr | How do i uninstall php, mysql, apache on Ubuntu | 08:44 |

| devunt | What is a xulrunner-1.9.1 package? | 08:46 |
| powertool08 | songer: Is the id_rsa file there now? | 08:46 |
| pradalvr | did that | 08:47 |
| madis | pradalvr, and you could use sudo tasksel command to install lamp next time | 08:47 |

| madis | oh | 08:48 |

| madis | you could | 08:48 |
| mobius2 | I feel like I have a new limb :p | 08:48 |
| madis | just stop apache | 08:48 |
| Myrtti | !who | 08:48 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 08:48 |
| powertool08 | Night0wl: Synergy is a software kvm. Not sure if its supported by linux though. | 08:48 |
| powertool08 | Night0wl: And there's always ssh/vnc/freenx. Not exactly kvm but it will get the job done. | 08:49 |
| ouyes | can upgrade the kernel of 8.04 to a high version??? | 08:49 |
| madis | pradalvr, with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop | 08:49 |
| cobra679 | hi anyone know a good msn client for ubuntu | 08:49 |
| tonyyarusso | powertool08, it is | 08:49 |
| cobra679 | but not amsn | 08:49 |
| cobra679 | or kopete | 08:49 |
| songer | powertool08: cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys, says no such file or directory | 08:50 |
| madis | cobra679, Pidgin? | 08:50 |
| cobra679 | do you have a code so i can get it in konsole ? | 08:50 |
| tonyyarusso | ouyes, not remotely easily anyway. | 08:50 |
| pradalvr | done | 08:50 |
| pradalvr | it stopped | 08:50 |
| madis | cobra679, or if you want a good "copy" of wlm, you could try emerald | 08:50 |
| powertool08 | songer: Ok, that tab complete thing works in the terminal too. so try cat id_r <tab> >> auth<tab>. | 08:50 |
| ouyes | tonyyarusso, what you mean? just cannot? | 08:50 |
| pradalvr | Now to reinstall | 08:51 |
| madis | cobra, I meant emesene | 08:51 |
| ouyes | tonyyarusso, you know some application can not be realized under a low kernel | 08:51 |
| rashed2020 | If an application is looking for a shared library, how do I set the path it looks in? | 08:51 |
| Night0wl | powertool08: thanks for your advice | 08:52 |
| infid | i have my svn checkouts in ~/checkouts but my php code is in ~/public_html. how the heck do i get my php code into svn like that? | 08:52 |
| mobius2 | I have aircrack and airmon running quite well, but I seem to have "power managment" turned off which is causing some frustration when trying to pick a target network... does anyone know how to enable the power managment settings in wlan settings from terminal? | 08:52 |
| tonyyarusso | ouyes, you can compile it, but have fun with the dependencies and compatibility issues cascading. | 08:52 |
| mobius2 | where "power managment" I assume is a program which lets us know the rx power? | 08:53 |
| songer | powertool08: it happened nothing | 08:53 |
| meowbuntu | anyone able to help me set up wordpress i just downloaded it | 08:53 |
| ouyes | tonyyarusso, i got you point you mean yes you can upgrade the kernel but there will be a lot of trouble? | 08:54 |
| tonyyarusso | ouyes, likely anyway. no guarantees. | 08:54 |
| mobius2 | meowbuntu I would suggest installing the apache xampp project main program which is a bundle of the apache server, phpmyadmin, and a sql server all bundled in one pack | 08:54 |
| mobius2 | wordpress is cookie cutter....quite easy if you can set up a new DB | 08:54 |
| powertool08 | Whooo! Involuntary restarts! I love 'em | 08:54 |
| mobius2 | yikes | 08:55 |
| mobius2 | how? | 08:55 |
| powertool08 | songer: I might have missed the last thing or two you said | 08:55 |
| powertool08 | Power failures for about 1 second, just enough to kill the computer. | 08:55 |
| * powertool08 needs to invest in a UPS | 08:55 | |
| tonyyarusso | mobius2, why would you do that when linux makes them work together normally? | 08:55 |
| ouyes | tonyyarusso, for the accessibility ,it 's better to use the corresponding kernel with the ubuntu release | 08:55 |
| mobius2 | tonyyarusso what are you asking me? | 08:56 |
| songer | powertool08: cat id_r (tab) it happened nothing | 08:56 |
| tonyyarusso | mobius2, I'm telling you that xampp is unnecessary and silly. | 08:56 |
| powertool08 | songer: Hmm... and when you did ls earlier you saw id_rsa and id_rsa.pub? | 08:57 |
| mobius2 | actually it's quite relevant | 08:57 |
| ouyes | here is a question for all , what version are you using now ? 8.04, 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04? | 08:57 |
| mobius2 | dev servers helped me through school | 08:57 |
| om26er | !ot | ouyes | 08:57 |
| ubottu | ouyes: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:57 |
| mobius2 | I for one thank the dev team | 08:57 |
| mobius2 | good lord | 08:57 |
| Myrtti | ouyes: please do not do polls here, the channel is far too busy without them already | 08:58 |
| tonyyarusso | mobius2, I'm not arguing about apache servers; just the xampp distribution of the software. it makes no sense on Ubuntu. | 08:58 |
| meowbuntu | mobius2, exactly what app is that in synaptic there is lots for apache nothing like xampp | 08:58 |
| mobius2 | the packages are ancient | 08:58 |
| songer | powertool08: no but is into the folder .shh | 08:58 |
| talented | xampp takes away some of the configuring you'd have to do | 08:58 |
| ouyes | om26er, Myrtti , ok, i just want to know which version is more popular, forger it | 08:59 |
| temporarytao | tonyyarusso, is xampp lighter than lamp in terms of disk space and memory footprint? | 08:59 |
| tonyyarusso | talented, there isn't any configuration necessary... | 08:59 |
| mobius2 | xampp=lampp | 08:59 |
| om26er | mobius2, #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:59 |
| tonyyarusso | temporarytao, eh? it's the same stuff, just bypassing normal system management tools. | 08:59 |
| mobius2 | lul | 08:59 |
| songer | powertool08, i just see music desktop, documets, download | 08:59 |
| temporarytao | meowbuntu, to install xampp, i think you have to download the package... | 09:00 |
| powertool08 | songer: That's where is should be. Is there also a file named authorized_keys in .ssh? If not 'touch authorized_keys' | 09:00 |
| talented | tonyyarusso, of course there is, if you install apache on your system, you can't use /var/www unless you claim the folder | 09:00 |
| meowbuntu | tonyyarusso, mobius2 what do you mean it is it is not | 09:00 |
| powertool08 | songer: cd /home/songer/.ssh It will make it easier | 09:00 |
| tonyyarusso | talented, um, what? explain what you mean by that. | 09:00 |
| mobius2 | does anyone know if it is possible to enable the "power management " option in a wifi usb adapter? | 09:00 |
| talented | well, that's the location for your public html files, where all your web files go, but root owns it | 09:01 |
| mobius2 | I cant tell how strong my network region is | 09:01 |
| rashed2020 | If I stick something in /usr/lib, do all applications automatically look there for shared libraries? | 09:01 |
| mobius2 | I am getting zero across the board on all networks | 09:01 |
| temporarytao | tonyyarusso, i thought it installed on top of everything else. isn't that why it has its own directory for web files? | 09:01 |
| tonyyarusso | talented, yeah duh. | 09:01 |
| meowbuntu | how do i use wordpress i have it installed now | 09:01 |
| songer | are, public key, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub | 09:01 |
| mobius2 | and THAT | 09:01 |
| mobius2 | is why to use lampp | 09:01 |
| mobius2 | lol | 09:01 |
| talented | at least, with xampp, it's all in one location, you want to get rid of it rm -rf the folder | 09:01 |
| tonyyarusso | temporarytao, I ahve no idea what you're asking. | 09:01 |
| om26er | !enter | mobius2 | 09:02 |

| tonyyarusso | talented, nono - apache, php, and mysql are in the repos. | 09:03 |
| temporarytao | tonyyarusso, :) | 09:03 |
| temporarytao | meowbuntu, i think you need to google some wordpress tutorials | 09:03 |
| temporarytao | as i remember it, the first step is to setup your databases | 09:03 |
| om26er | mobius2, you will get kicked | 09:03 |
| songer | powertool08, ~/.ssh$ | 09:03 |
| talented | problem with xampp is it's not as current... if they had Uniform Server on Linux, it'd be a lot better | 09:03 |
| mobius2 | agreed | 09:04 |
| Night0wl | is there a key combo to switch between desktops? i don't know how to call them- not the tty1-7, but the seperate gui desktops | 09:04 |

| tonyyarusso | talented, security updates to those packages usually hit Ubuntu archives within 24 hours - you need better? | 09:05 |
| temporarytao | what .net language exactly? | 09:05 |
| songer | powertool08: ok now , authorized_keys id_rsa id_rsa.pub | 09:05 |
| hiren | its a framework | 09:05 |
| hiren | language is C# | 09:05 |
| === bizarref1sh is now known as leeguy92 | ||
| === leeguy92 is now known as bizarrefish | ||
| powertool08 | songer: Great, now 'cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys' | 09:06 |
| talented | xampp doesn't keep that current | 09:06 |
| Night0wl | thanks again powertool08 | 09:06 |
| temporarytao | hiren, that should be relatively easy | 09:06 |
| powertool08 | Night0wl: np | 09:06 |
| nulled | i used to be anti Mono....but maybe it is Ok | 09:06 |
| temporarytao | have you tried installing monodev? | 09:06 |
| hiren | <temporarytao> i want to deploy it | 09:06 |
| henkpoley | hiren ask on irc://irc.gnome.org/mono | 09:06 |
| hiren | ok | 09:06 |
| temporarytao | nulled, same here. i reread the framework and it seems good. problem is, it has MS in it. :( | 09:07 |
| temporarytao | i don't trust those guys a lot | 09:07 |
| henkpoley | hiren, that is the officicial mono irc channe; | 09:07 |
| temporarytao | hiren, i think you might still need to recompile it for linux | 09:07 |
| nulled | temp: as long as nothing 'core' is programmed in C# wewill be OK... | 09:07 |
| talented | hmm... is it just me or copying files through nautilus doing drag and drop then closing the windows except the file operations, cancels the copying | 09:07 |
| nulled | nope no recompile needed if in Mono | 09:08 |
| songer | powertool08: what it must to happen | 09:08 |
| tonyyarusso | talented, yeah I noticed that too | 09:08 |
| temporarytao | nulled, good to know | 09:08 |
| devendra | how to remove 'universal access' icon from right side of top panel, right click is not working in it. | 09:08 |
| talented | well, glad I'm not the only one experiencing it then | 09:09 |
| powertool08 | songer: The cat command will print out the contents of id_rsa.pub, but the >> redirects it to the file authorized_keys. | 09:09 |
| nomnex | I need to know if there is any permission change from 9.04 to 9.10 on usb HD ext4 formatted. On 9.04 it was root:root, when i plug the same hd in a 9.10, their a permission change to local user:local user. | 09:09 |
| temporarytao | devendra, try gconf-editor | 09:09 |
| temporarytao | look for panel and find it from there | 09:09 |
| devendra | tempeldirne, but there are several options. | 09:09 |
| devendra | ok | 09:09 |
| powertool08 | songer: Now, 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart' | 09:09 |
| talented | hmm... also transfer speeds are slow | 09:10 |
| mkanyicy | powertool08, songer, or 'sudo service sshd restart' | 09:10 |
| powertool08 | mkanyicy: Thanks, I knew it changed but wasn't sure on the specifics. | 09:11 |
| mkanyicy | powertool08, not actually changed, it's still the same path you specified, 'service' is just a nice script in case you forgot the path | 09:12 |
| powertool08 | mkanyicy: Alright. | 09:12 |
| nulled | cat $(which service) | 09:13 |
| nulled | damn long script just to replace /etc/init.d | 09:13 |
| nulled | hhaha | 09:13 |
| mobius2 | does anyone know if ndis-wrapper can be used to make a wlan which would normally not work in aircrack "wrap" the native windows driver thus making the adapter in question useable in aircrack? | 09:14 |
| songer | powertool08: ok i did 'cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys' and just :~/.ssh$ | 09:14 |
| mkanyicy | nulled, it's not about how long is a script,it's about doing what it was supposed to do with minimal or no errors | 09:14 |
| Morgoth | hi, there is a driver for my usb key Transcend JetFlash with fingerprint ? The software is only for windows and it's not start with wine... | 09:15 |
| powertool08 | songer: Good, did you restart the ssh server with 'sudo service sshd restart'? | 09:15 |
| mkanyicy | powertool08, songer what are you guys trying to do? | 09:16 |
| powertool08 | mkanyicy: songer wants pubkey authentication on ssh. | 09:16 |
| mkanyicy | powertool08, songer is it worth copying the local RSA public key to the local authorized_keys ? | 09:17 |
| llutz | powertool08: keyauthenticaton at localhost? | 09:17 |
| mkanyicy | powertool08, songer imho, i've never seen that being done before | 09:17 |
| llutz | songer: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote-system | 09:17 |
| powertool08 | mkanyicy: I assumed the local one was the intended remote server in the end. | 09:17 |
| songer | powertool08: ok | 09:17 |
| === Morgoth is now known as Azerty82 | ||
| === Azerty82 is now known as Melkor | ||
| mkanyicy | powertool08, but that would create some confusion, you'd rather scp the public key and 'cat' it and append it to the authorized_keys of the remote server remotely | 09:19 |
| songer | powertool08: so now what | 09:19 |
| songer | powertool08: it says, ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote-system | 09:20 |
| mkanyicy | llutz, there is now a command called ssh-copy-id ?? wow, let me check | 09:20 |
| llutz | mkanyicy: since ages, preferred method to copy ids | 09:20 |
| buzzomatic | Hello | 09:20 |
| mkanyicy | llutz, ages? | 09:20 |
| powertool08 | songer: I guess we find out if my assumption was right :) | 09:20 |
| buzzomatic | I'm trying to use the 'install-css.sh' script so I can play DVDs, however I keep getting this error: http://pastie.org/773346 | 09:21 |

| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, try "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs" after you have enabled medibuntu repositories | 09:23 |
| songer | powertool08: it says Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd (ok) | 09:23 |
| powertool08 | songer: Alright, I recommend using denyhosts. Its a program to detect and prevent(to an extent) brute-force attacks on your server. So 'sudo apt-get install denyhosts' | 09:23 |
| powertool08 | songer: Good. | 09:23 |
| meowbuntu | i would like to know that | 09:24 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, go and read up on http://medibuntu.org on how to enable medibuntu repositories | 09:24 |
| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, I was just following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 09:24 |

| vargadanis | hello everyone... I have installed kubuntu and the default network manager for some reason screws up the wifi connection. So I am at home and we have an unsecured connection there to which I cannot connect. If I delete the connection from the connection list and then hit connect to other network it works perfect | 09:25 |
| vargadanis | but it is tiresome to do every time the laptop boots up | 09:26 |
| songer | powertool08: now to exit from :~/.ssh$ what i must to do? | 09:26 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to enable medibuntu then install those packages i told you about | 09:26 |
| powertool08 | songer: After all this is done. You put the id_rsa file on your usb or other computer, the ssh -i /path/to/id_rsa songer@your.computers.ip.address | 09:26 |
| casa | #xubuntu | 09:27 |
| powertool08 | songer: Type 'exit' or 'logout' or if its in a seperate window, click the X at the top right | 09:27 |
| casa | c'è nessuno? Is there anybody? | 09:27 |
| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, I've enabled it, which packages again? | 09:27 |
| philipwn | Where is the gnome-volume-control configuration file? | 09:28 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, try "sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 w32codecs" after you have enabled medibuntu repositories | 09:28 |
| buzzomatic | Thanks | 09:28 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, not that for a comprehensive multimedia playback, you may need to install all gstreamer plugins (the good, the bad and the ugly) | 09:29 |
| powertool08 | songer: Also, if you are going to use windows and want to connect back to your computer, you have to use putty (its a free download) If you get the putty key-gen program too, it can convert your linux key to a windows compatible one. | 09:29 |
| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, that's always the first thing I do | 09:30 |
| ouyes | the cpu usage and frequence display icons always shows two number 38% 100%, it is the real usage of the cpu ?? is it correct ? | 09:30 |
| bullgard | After installing Ubuntu from the Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition CD, GNOME programs ignore the modifier key 'AltGr'. How to fix this? | 09:30 |
| nomnex | Still anybody with a USB HD ext4 formatted plugged in a 9.10? | 09:30 |
| strywgr | anyone knows how to make a shortcut of a windows application installed throuhg wine? | 09:30 |
| ouyes | yes i have one works fine | 09:30 |
| songer | powertool08: ok | 09:30 |
| ouyes | nomnex, yes it is my usb hard driver | 09:31 |
| bullgard | strywgr: Is this not a Windows question? | 09:31 |
| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, something odd is going on, the repo is enabled, I've updated, yet the packages are missing | 09:31 |
| valajbeg | hi, can someone help me, when i try to upgrade my ubuntu it says "The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 15.7M free space on disk '/boot'. Please free at least an additional 3,843k of disk space on '/boot'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'." | 09:31 |
| nomnex | ouyes, can you check the default permissions? it is root:root on 9.04, the same volume on 9.10 is user:user, do you confirm the change? | 09:31 |
| ouyes | nomnex, taken from my lap, (i use a 250gb one instead the 160gb one ,and make the 160gb a usb hard driver | 09:32 |
| songer | powertool08: i'm tryn to make update but it says, GPG error: http://ftp.debian.org unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 9AA38DCD55BE302B | 09:32 |
| bullgard | valajbeg: Try the command 'apt-get clean'. May be it helps. | 09:32 |
| powertool08 | songer: To recap, you probably still need to forward a port on your router before this will work outside your lan. You need to carry the id_rsa file with you, if you're going to be on a windows machine, you need to download putty & putty-gen (it will fit on your usb too) and convert your id_rsa to a putty private key (ppk). Finally, take note of your ip address. | 09:32 |
| ouyes | nomnex, what permissions? i only installed 9.10 | 09:32 |
| valajbeg | bullgard i triedbut it doesn't help | 09:33 |
| valajbeg | bullgard: i triedbut it doesn't help | 09:33 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, use synaptic and search for "css" and look for "libdvdcss2" and search "dvdnav" and look for libdvdnav4 and "dvdread" and look for "libdvdread4" | 09:33 |
| powertool08 | o_O | 09:33 |
| strywgr | bullguard, I have the windows application on Ubuntu. | 09:33 |
| nomnex | ouyes, when you plug the HD what are the default permissions? root:root or user:user? | 09:33 |
| ouyes | user | 09:33 |
| bullgard | valajbeg: So you need to free disk memory. That is, you need to delete some programs. | 09:33 |

| iceroot | vargadanis: anything else then mkfs? its not installed and i am not root | 09:36 |
| valajbeg | bullgard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/354930/ this is the list of what i have got in /boot part | 09:36 |
| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, those exist, except for w32codecs | 09:36 |

| vargadanis | llutz, nothing, I just find it funny that we wrote almost the same thing word by word :) | 09:38 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, but under serious/intensive multimedia playback, you may need to have w32codecs | 09:38 |

| buzzomatic | mkanyicy, yes, multiple times | 09:41 |
| nomnex | ouyes, I have tried it. So, I want to know if this is normal | 09:41 |

| llutz | mkanyicy: seems only a few people know it :( | 09:48 |
| powertool08 | songer: Also any particular reason you have debian repos in your sources list? | 09:48 |
| nomnex | still stuck with the same silly question | 09:48 |
| bullgard | sprung: I got the same result once. The command is faulty. Pleas use alternative commands. | 09:48 |
| taofd | where do i go to see my firewall logs? | 09:49 |
| sprung | bullgard, like...? | 09:49 |
| songer | no, i just installed karmic | 09:49 |
| sprung | bullgard, And I'd also like to fix it being faulty | 09:49 |
| powertool08 | songer: Did you add the debian repo or was it already like that? (I'm pretty sure ubuntu doesn't use debian repo's) | 09:50 |
| llutz | taofd: /var/log/messages if logging is enabled | 09:50 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, I am clueless | 09:50 |
| taofd | llutz, isn't it enabled by default? o_O; | 09:50 |
| powertool08 | songer: At least, not linking to debian's ftp servers. Everything should come from an ubuntu server. | 09:50 |
| songer | powertool08: no | 09:50 |
| mkanyicy | buzzomatic, and I have to go, im sorry | 09:50 |
| bullgard | sprung: Depends on your situation. For example, '~$ sudo mii-tool' and then '~$ sudo dhclient eth0' | 09:51 |

| buzzomatic | Don't suppose anyone else would be able to look at this error and tell me how to fix it? http://pastie.org/773363 | 09:51 |

| powertool08 | songer: The quickest fix is to comment out the debian repo in the sources.list file. Although, since its grouped with the security repo's, we may not want to do that. | 10:03 |

Then go back to the command line and run 'sudo apt-get update' if you still get the error, run 'sudo apt-get -f update' *Note the added '-f'. If it still doesn't work, ask the channel in general and hopefully somebody can help you. Good lu | 10:22 |

| Oasa | Hello all | 10:38 |
| vvvvv | yep | 10:38 |
| dgetsman | Forgive me for the horribly neophyte question, but I've got a system that is running ubuntu 8.x; I thought that upgrading to the most recent stable 9.x release version was accomplished through synaptic, but I'm unable to find an option for that. can somebody tell me what a wookie I'm being and help me find the best way to do this without using a CD? My apologies but thank you and greetings to the channel. :) | 10:38 |

| dgetsman | thank you much | 10:39 |
| Myrtti | dgetsman: there are better ways than that | 10:39 |
| jelly | songer: that doesn't look like an ubuntu repository | 10:39 |
| Oasa | Darkedge : gnome-speaker-manageXX | 10:39 |
| Myrtti | dgetsman: like your update manager application | 10:40 |
| dgetsman | yeah that's telling me that nothing needs to be upgraded. yet I know I'm using 8.x. wtf | 10:40 |
| dgetsman | is that only for minor version upgrades, maybe? | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | dgetsman: lsb_release -a | 10:40 |
| ikonia | songer: you get that when you click the link | 10:40 |
| Oasa | DarkEdge- sorry its gnome-Volume-manager | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | that should tell you what version you're on | 10:40 |

| Darkedge | Oasa: It started up the control thing, but still no icon | 10:41 |
| DJones | dgetsman: The next LTS hasn't been released yet which is why you're getting the message that there's nothing to upgrade | 10:41 |
| dgetsman | gotcha. is there a way to override so it goes to the next stable but non-LTS version? | 10:41 |
| royerfa | HI I am having trouble with the package openssh-server on ubuntu 9.10 | 10:41 |
| Myrtti | dgetsman: personally I wouldn't upgrade yet, but wait until april when the next lts is released. upgrading lts to lts is easier than upgrading lts to lts-1 version | 10:42 |
| MASARUwota | !ask|royerfa | 10:42 |
| ubottu | royerfa: 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. :-) | 10:42 |
| songer | ikonia: this is my sourceslist, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m66019239 | 10:42 |
| Darkedge | dgetsman: Can't you open up "update manager" and click "new distro" | 10:42 |
| royerfa | I did a apt-get install openssh-server openss | 10:42 |
| Myrtti | dgetsman: no. you need to upgrade to every version in between, in sequence | 10:42 |
| MASARUwota | royerfa: yes? and? | 10:42 |
| dgetsman | fair enough; I guess I can put it off. Darkedge, I didn't see that and I dug through everything | 10:42 |
| Oasa | DarkEdge : If its the Icon you want you can add by using Add to panel ;) | 10:42 |
| ikonia | songer: you need to contact the getdeb administrators http://www.getdeb.net/contact/ or in #getdeb on this network | 10:42 |
| Oasa | dgetsman: There is no other way. Wait till 10.4. Or you will have to upgrade step by step | 10:43 |

| MASARUwota | songer: ? :/ | 10:45 |

| ikonia | songer: remove deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free from your sources.list | 10:45 |
| joaopinto | ikonia, no, it's not, the link on getdeb is calling apturl, which does an apt-get upgrate which cause the error, the error is not related to the site | 10:45 |
| MASARUwota | apturl is horrible D: | 10:45 |

| sortremord | bjlen, why do you need to remove the older kernel versions? | 10:52 |
| sortremord | bjlen, I would keep them just in case a newer kernel gave me any problems, a kernel panic or something like that | 10:53 |
| Darkedge | bjlen: It shouldn't make any diffrence, I suggest Completly remove.. | 10:53 |
| MASARUwota | sortremord: =) | 10:53 |
| Darkedge | yeah, listen to sortremord | 10:53 |
| bjlen | i would keep at least one, but i had 5 or 6 | 10:53 |
| Myrtti | sortremord: after a new kernel has proven to work, I take all but the previous and remove them... | 10:53 |

| smellyno1er | Hi - This bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/446146?comments=all was supposedly fixed, but I've installed a daily kernel 2.6.33-999-generic and I'm still affected by it | 10:55 |
| vvvvv | snd me a text file like for using bsd commands | 10:55 |
| smellyno1er | What do I need to do to get rid of that bug? | 10:55 |
| MASARUwota | vvvvv: please try googling, i cannot send you 1 thing as the interent is filled with it. also, LINUX IS NOT BSD | 10:56 |
| MASARUwota | *internet | 10:56 |

| slumber | is it possible to install micrisoft framework on ubuntu linux? | 10:56 |
| sortremord | join* | 10:56 |
| cweagans | slumber: microsoft framework? | 10:57 |
| sortremord | slumber, you might be able to install it in Wine via Wine-Doors | 10:57 |
| bjlen | is it normal for ubuntu 9.10 to run at 40-80% CPU all the time (i currently have Xchat, firefox and system monitor open on a 1ghz laptop with intell 855GM and 1GB ram)? | 10:58 |
| slumber | sortrmod : tks | 10:58 |
| Steel__ | MASARUwota: Thank you very much ! | 10:58 |
| MASARUwota | Steel__:np | 10:58 |
| slumber | bjlen : it happent to me, but it seems a bug | 10:58 |
| Myrtti | bjlen: firefox is a hog | 10:58 |
| MASARUwota | slumber: .NET? you should install the "mono" package. you can run .net programmed apps in the following fashion: mono <application.exe> | 10:59 |
| Myrtti | bjlen: complete removal in synaptic or --purge in aptitude. | 11:00 |
| slumber | masaruwota: thanks | 11:00 |
| bjlen | myrtti - thanks. i think i removed some old kernels with just 'remove' - does that matter? i'm wondering whether there are some config files i now need to manually delete? | 11:00 |
| Slart | bjlen: it might be a good thing.. ie if the cpu is downclocked so that firefox and xchat uses about 50% of the available cpu | 11:01 |
| philipwn | how can i see how much HZ is my kernel set to run | 11:01 |
| bjlen | slart - i don't understand... | 11:01 |
| Slart | bjlen: it might also be that firefox is eating lots of cpu cycles while the cpu is running full speed.. that would be a bad thing | 11:01 |
| Myrtti | bjlen: it's all up to your personal preference. I wouldn't worry about the possible config file residue left by kernels, grub is anyway cleaned after uninstalling the kernel images | 11:02 |
| Oasa | Restarting didnt work out. I had to add everything manually :( | 11:02 |
| bjlen | at least, having closed firefox i can see the cpu is now running 10 -40% with ocassional spikes. so i guess that's ok | 11:02 |
| Oasa | Guys. I actually came here to know if there is any way to make myself login to Windows lIve Messenger through pidgin | 11:02 |
| Oasa | I configured but it says Protocol Problems | 11:03 |
| Slart | bjlen: say you have a cpu that is marked for 2.5 GHz.. if your laptop goes into powersaving mode it might be downclocked to 400MHz instead.. then firefox will use 20% of the lower speed which seems much but in reality it isn't that much since the cpu is going much slower than normal | 11:03 |
| bjlen | how would i know if it was downclocked? | 11:03 |
| Slart | bjlen: there are some apps that might show you the current power saving state.. I haven't used those since I upgraded to 9.10 though so I can't help you with specifics | 11:04 |
| mobius2 | I suspect that I am unable to see the range value of the various AP's around me in aircrack because I have a separate wlan which is also in use and I am assuming there is a program which handles this type of thing | 11:04 |

| novhy | emmmm dingin | 11:06 |
| xover | mobius2, what types are there? I created it using the intaller | 11:06 |
| DJones | Oasa: Pidgin normally doesn't have a problem connecting to windows live messenger, I'm using it at the minute so if you're getting an error, it could be a service problem at the windows end | 11:06 |
| Oasa | Djones : Not just once. But always. | 11:06 |
| Oasa | I am using 8.04 LTS | 11:06 |
| mobius2 | xover I suppose I should ask you what program you used to generate the ecrypted partition | 11:06 |
| xover | mobius2, the ubuntu installer | 11:07 |

| xover | mobius2, i installed ubuntu with encryption, tjen installed windows, no i cannot boot to either without a boot cd. | 11:10 |
| DJones | Oasa: I've not had a problem with pidgin and I'm using later versions of pidgin, possibly there's been a change to the proctol that pidgin & MSN use since your version, what version are you using? | 11:10 |
| Oasa | I am using default pidgin that comes with 8.04 | 11:10 |
| Oasa | LT | 11:10 |
| Oasa | S | 11:10 |
| nubuntu | ололо | 11:11 |
| DJones | Oasa: Can you go into Help & About in the pidgin contact list to check which version number you're using | 11:11 |
| mobius2 | I would install partition magic to the windows instance and try to move the windows further down the loader chain that way | 11:11 |
| mobius2 | you are going to fix this from windows | 11:11 |
| mobius2 | or reinstall ubuntu AFTER windows | 11:12 |

| Oasa | What is interpid? | 11:16 |
| Oasa | I marked for upgrade will that work? | 11:16 |
| Myrtti | Oasa: the version of ubuntu after yours | 11:17 |
| kraut | ?intrepid | 11:17 |
| kraut | hmm | 11:17 |
| DJones | Oasa: Should have said Intrepid, its a newer version of Ubuntu | 11:17 |

| xover | mobius2, how do i get grub back into the MBR? | 11:17 |
| DJones | Oasa: Looking at the repositories for 8.04, you're using the latest version of pidgin available | 11:17 |
| vikb | I am not able to install pidgin | 11:17 |
| Oasa | I am not familiar with the Names but only version. | 11:17 |
| frederick85 | Hi i had to start my computer in vesa graphics because it wouldn't start in sis graphics, how can I figure out what is my problem? | 11:17 |
| vikb | even after doing what is said in http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ | 11:18 |
| Oasa | !repositories | Oasa | 11:18 |
| ubottu | Oasa, please see my private message | 11:18 |
| mobius2 | insert windows installation disk and boot to the FIRST R repair console rebuild the MBR and the boot loader | 11:18 |
| xover | mobius2, I ran grub-instal /dev/sda and it throws an error 'auto detection of filesystem failed' | 11:18 |
| Oasa | What is repositories ? | 11:18 |
| xover | mobius2, I need grub to boot into linux dont? | 11:18 |
| vikb | I am not getting the pidgin package in my repos at all | 11:18 |
| mobius2 | if you do not write ubuntu to the sequence at all the windows should boot by default | 11:18 |
| mobius2 | unless you insert your boot cd | 11:18 |
| mobius2 | am i right? | 11:18 |
| xover | mobius2, at the moment I receive 'no operating system is found' | 11:19 |
| mobius2 | boot to the WINDOWS install cd | 11:19 |
| xover | mobius2, appears the MBR is screwed, so im better off install grub to MBR again righT? | 11:19 |
| xover | mobius2, can you jsut explained why I am better of installed windows MBR? | 11:19 |
| mobius2 | because windows sucks and it only like itself | 11:20 |
| xover | mobius2, that rubbish i always use grub for booting windows. | 11:20 |
| mobius2 | better to not include ubuntu at all in the boot loader | 11:20 |
| DJones | Oasa: I'm just looking to see if there's an easy fix for you, the only one I've found so far is to add pidgin's own repository which will update your version | 11:20 |
| mobius2 | with full disk encryption? | 11:20 |
| padi999 | hey guys | 11:21 |
| Junkyard | I am not getting the pidgin packages in my repository | 11:21 |
| mobius2 | the whole point of full disk crypto is to make the instance the least accessible as possible | 11:21 |
| Junkyard | after adding them from the pidgin website | 11:21 |
| padi999 | Can someone check if this is a firefox 3.5.7 problem? -> www.google.com/analytics -> there is no login form, it just does not display. This worked in former versions of firefox | 11:22 |
| mobius2 | why put an instance under full disk crypto in the loader? | 11:22 |
| mobius2 | make it look like a windows rig | 11:22 |
| xover | mobius2, it was full disk, but then i imaged it and deployed it on another disk not using he entire disk so its not FD. | 11:22 |
| xover | also FD is never FD as the boot partition is not encrypted | 11:22 |
| mobius2 | yuk :) | 11:23 |
| soopos | How can you delete everything which a regexp match in Emacs? | 11:23 |

| hyphn | hello there! so, i have been googling quite a bit about this, but noone seems to have a solution, so i thought i would try some live consulting. ---> I want to make my remote-desktop be on one workspace, maximized, and that the hotkeys will work to switch in and out of it. anyone did this or have any ideas? | 11:33 |
| TangentCollision | dkonstantin: why would you want to DO that | 11:34 |
| newan | <sleeping`dragon>: Local computer (Remote Desktop) -> local ip in the router and port...then even can conncted to you with WAN IP and port | 11:34 |
| sleeping`dragon | newan, yes but which port i should allow from WAN on router so that people can connect to my remote desktop using their ubuntu boxes? | 11:35 |
| obaid | i guess 5900 or 5800 | 11:35 |
| newan | /etc/init.d/apache2 start | 11:35 |
| TangentCollision | newan: safer to do restart instead of start | 11:36 |
| newan | default 5700 i mean | 11:36 |
| dkonstantin | because i want to test my html file | 11:36 |
| === ogra_ is now known as ogra | ||

| bamonde | yes lucy....you can | 12:27 |
| viliny | Solid tutorial, thank you ardchoille, bookmarked it. | 12:27 |
| kaiser2011 | im sorry Ext 2 3 or 4 ? | 12:27 |
| Slart | kaiser2011: the ubuntu installer will format it to something else for you.. | 12:27 |
| viliny | lucy: pendrivelinux.com | 12:27 |
| ardchoille | viliny: You're welcome :) | 12:27 |
| Slart | kaiser2011: linux can't run on fat32 or ntfs | 12:27 |
| kaiser2011 | oh ok | 12:28 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: First you want to boot ubuntu live. From there you can use the partitioner to install it. The recommended file system is ext3 (not fat32) and ubuntu will be able to read/write ntfs. Also, the drives will not be C and D but hda and hdb respectively | 12:28 |
| lucy | viliny: thanks :) | 12:28 |
| Tiders | kaiser2011, If you run the installer it will ask you what to format it as... For your root "/" partition usually ext3 is best | 12:28 |
| pchan | thanks for your help iflema and guntbert. & others for trying :) cheers. | 12:28 |

| viliny | kaiser2011: you need to create new partitions that are formatted with file systems that are supported by linux. | 12:30 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Then its not going to say C, it will say sda and sdb for two hard drives | 12:30 |
| kaiser2011 | yes | 12:30 |

| lucy | viliny: Thanks once again :) | 12:41 |
| bullgard | Slart: xev shows almost identical results. The difference being other addresses in RAM. | 12:41 |
| Slart | bullgard: then I would start looking trough those keyboard setttings.. also if you're testing stuff in the terminal you might want to check the LOCALE enviroment setting | 12:42 |
| bullgard | Slart: A good idea! The locales differ. I will do some deeper snooping. | 12:44 |

| kaiser2011 | pm ? | 12:46 |
| TangentCollision | superboki: you can plug them in and mount them, yes | 12:46 |
| superboki | and they should be under /media? | 12:46 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: no | 12:46 |
| TangentCollision | superboki: they should be wherever you mount them | 12:46 |
| TangentCollision | you should probably never automount things imo, but I'm a masochist and use archlinux on my server, and ubuntu netbook remix on my eeepc | 12:46 |

| adrien_ | exit | 12:58 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: No you want to delete sda2, then select to partition it as ext3 and you need to leave space for a swap partition so you will need to do a bit of math based on your systems RAM size to know what you want for swap | 12:58 |
| viliny | kaiser2011: format the sda2 to ext3 and specify that as the installation target partition after that... you might want to create a third partition for swapping space as well. | 12:59 |

| soreau | kaiser2011: The swap should be the size of your system ram or a little bigger. So after you delete sda2, when you go to click on it and create new partition, specify the size of the maximum minus the swap size you will be using, then select the mount point as / | 13:00 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: after that, create the swap partition with the remaining space and then you should be ready to go | 13:01 |
| theadmin | om26er: It's not a real hard-drive or anything, it's a... eh... file. Kinda. Ever heard of TrueCrypt? So... it's in /dev/mapper/truecrypt1 because I chose to "not mount" it, so I can format it to another filesystem. ext4 and others work fine with this kinda stuff. | 13:01 |
| acer1 | the front audio jack is not recieving any output, since karmic ,, it was working fine until jaunty. the back audio panel still works though. | 13:02 |
| acer1 | pls help thnx | 13:02 |
| kaiser2011 | ok my sda2 was 10 GB. Is 6 GB enough for ubunutu installtion. and 4GB for Swap since i have 4GB ram. I plan to store/use files from sda1 | 13:04 |
| rolo | how do i find my ip address? | 13:04 |
| shipmaster | hey I've been running ubuntu for a few weeks now I keep getting a boot disk failure. Obviously my system is not recognizing my hdds. Is this a common error for ubuntu? | 13:04 |
| amikrop | llutz: ok | 13:05 |
| acer1 | http://aruljohn.com rolo | 13:05 |
| llutz | rolo: internal: ifconfig, external some webservices | 13:05 |
| zhangsam | ifconfig | 13:05 |
| acer1 | for ur public ip. | 13:05 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: That is enough to install it, but you might consider making it bigger if you will install any big applications or store any big files on it | 13:05 |
| acer1 | for ur orivate ip,. if config eth0 on ur terminal | 13:05 |
| garymc | Hi , again i need help. I have asked before and took notes, but it doesnt seem to be working now i follow them 2 months later. Iam trying to creat launchers that appear on every users screen every time they log in. here is my paste bin of instructions i kept for myself http://pastebin.ca/1746836 can anyone tell me where im going wrong here? | 13:05 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Should be plenty of space for general usage | 13:06 |
| acer1 | does anyone know why the front audio jacks r not working in karmic??? | 13:06 |
| acer1 | thnx | 13:06 |
| === y_ is now known as Guest66660 | ||
| TangentCollision | garymc: as far as I know, that seems like something ubuntu would do automagically | 13:06 |
| TangentCollision | but outside of that, I'm baffled myself | 13:06 |
| garymc | no it doesnt. Im using UBUNTU LTSP | 13:07 |
| garymc | sorry for caps | 13:07 |
| BleSS | where is the Graphical Install source for install-cd ? | 13:07 |
| viliny | acer1: on a laptop? | 13:07 |
| acer1 | viliny: on a desktop | 13:07 |
| tj83_ | acer1, try using "alsamixer" w/o quotes in your terminal and see if any channels are down or muted? | 13:07 |
| lucy | Burning Ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso to a CD comes up with 'burning image to CD' This can't be right, can it?... | 13:08 |
| acer1 | tj83_, everythings unmuted | 13:08 |
| TangentCollision | lucy: what? | 13:08 |
| Arabus | hey, when I try to use the usb-creator tool I get the following error message: http://www.pastebin.org/74242 Anyone know how to fix this? | 13:08 |
| tj83_ | luci3n, why not? | 13:08 |
| TangentCollision | lucy: that makes no sense at all | 13:08 |
| Guest66660 | hi | 13:08 |
| viliny | lucy: that makes perfect sense, whats unclear to you? | 13:09 |
| llutz | lucy: it won't burn the iso as a file to cd, it will (hopefully) burn the contents | 13:09 |
| lucy | viliny: I wasn't sure as it said image.. :P | 13:09 |
| * TangentCollision thinks "do you want us to wipe too? | 13:09 | |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: ok for the ubuntu installtion 6GB part. Type ? (Primary or Logical). Location for the new partition ? (Beginning or End). Use as ?. And Last option (Mount Point). | 13:10 |
| kaiser2011 | Which options should i use | 13:10 |
| TangentCollision | lucy: everything will be allright | 13:10 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Primary, beginning, Mount Point = / | 13:10 |
| tj83_ | kaiser2011, why so small? | 13:10 |
| Hunt2 | what is the best tool with GUI, to go through very big packages on ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| lucy | TagentColision: lol well if this doesn't work I am basically screwed. | 13:10 |
| jonathan__ | Hey guys, anybody here? | 13:11 |
| soreau | tj83: He only has 10GB partition to install and 4GB of ram so the swap will take 4GB | 13:11 |
| soreau | jonathan__: nope | 13:11 |
| viliny | why lucy ? | 13:11 |
| Hunt2 | what is the best tool with GUI, to go through very big packages on ubuntu? | 13:11 |
| tj83_ | lucy, it will work | 13:11 |
| jonathan__ | Does anybody know how to enable 3d accel? | 13:11 |
| zig_ | Anyone have experience with software RAID1 in Ubuntu? Looking to try to set it up in something of a standard way. In looking into this, I came upon https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReliableRaid, which basically tells me that RAID under Ubuntu is in a rather fragile state. | 13:11 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: Use as ? Ext4 journaling file system ? | 13:11 |
| zig_ | Software RAID, that is. | 13:11 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: haha lol rofl.... not -_- | 13:11 |
| TangentCollision | lucy: last cd? | 13:11 |
| llutz | soreau: why 4GB swap? will he use hibernation? else it makes no sense | 13:11 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: ext3 | 13:11 |
| k | hi | 13:11 |
| viliny | zig_: you want fakeraid | 13:11 |
| soreau | llutz: I dont know, maybe it should be different | 13:11 |
| zig_ | I do not want fakeraid. =) | 13:11 |
| === k is now known as Guest90274 | ||
| viliny | :P | 13:12 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Which graphics card? | 13:12 |
| llutz | soreau: if hdd-space is limited, swap should be minimized | 13:12 |
| zig_ | fakeraid generally has proprietary disk layouts, from what I've seen. | 13:12 |
| lucy | viliny: cos if I cannot boot from USB my HD fails and thus laptop fails. I can't afford new HD atm or laptop for that matter.. | 13:12 |
| zig_ | Which simply won't do for a server environment. | 13:12 |
| Scott_Puopolo1 | I'm having trouble starting up to the login screen but I can start in recovery mode, anyone have a sec to help me troubleshoot? | 13:12 |
| * zhangsam just look | 13:12 | |
| kaiser2011 | tj83: how much would you recomend. I can quit the installer and resize the partitions from windows | 13:12 |
| jonathan__ | nvidia geforce 7150M or N.... pretty sure it's M though soreau | 13:12 |
| soreau | llutz: Well I wasnt planning on 4GB of ram so I told him to set swap to be equal to ram | 13:12 |
| soreau | jonathan__: sys>admin>hardware drivers | 13:12 |
| viliny | lucy: i don't get it... why would your hd fail if you boot from it? | 13:13 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: make swap max 1gb, rest for / | 13:13 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: you just won't be able to hibernate this way | 13:13 |
| kaiser2011 | llutz: i have 4gb ram | 13:13 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: You might want to do the swap for like one or 1.5 gb since you have limited space | 13:13 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: and? | 13:13 |
| jonathan__ | soreau there are 2 drivers there. they have the same name, but different versions. I installed the reccommended one, should I use the other one as well? | 13:13 |
| lucy | viliny: My hd is imminent atm. If I carry on using it it will go...it's like a ticking clock.. | 13:13 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: if you had 16GB you need 16gb swap? idiotic :) | 13:13 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Use one or the other. You probably want the latest version | 13:13 |
| soreau | llutz: He is new, please now | 13:14 |
| kaiser2011 | llutz: i am new to this swap thing :$ | 13:14 |
| viliny | lucy: so you want to subsitute the laptop hardrive with a usb stick "for now" ? | 13:14 |
| lucy | viliny: yes | 13:14 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: that's what I have. however, I remember getting these to work, probably on the older version. | 13:14 |
| TangentCollision | my harddrive has a thermite reactor in it | 13:14 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: make swap max 1gb, rest for / | 13:14 |
| kaiser2011 | ok this is what i can do. I can go back to windows and resize the partition | 13:14 |
| TangentCollision | also, ubuntu netbook remix seems to be seizing | 13:14 |
| soreau | jonathan__: What is the problem you are having then? | 13:14 |
| TangentCollision | my screen keeps flashing | 13:14 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: with average usage you won't need any swap at all. | 13:14 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: No no.. | 13:15 |
| TangentCollision | that'a annoying | 13:15 |
| viliny | lucy: it will be noticeably slower than a hd though... id really try to get a new hd | 13:15 |
| tj83_ | kaiser2011, depends... what you got to work with for space? | 13:15 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: You can resize partitions with gparted, the app that you are using right noe | 13:15 |
| soreau | now* | 13:15 |
| jonathan__ | soreau anything 3d related (games, blender3d, etc) isn't starting. just... nothing happens. | 13:15 |
| bullgard | Slart: The locales are not the culprit. I changed them to "en_US.UTF-8" just as on the competing Ubuntu computer. This did not help either. -- I carefully compared all keyboard layout differences. I found none. I tried to re-start Guake using F12. This stuck. I called Guake from the menu. This started Guake. Shortly later I learned that now my AltGr key works normally. -- Thank you for... | 13:15 |
| bullgard | ...your comments. | 13:15 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Well look at your X log for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 13:15 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: i can take a chunk from sda1 from here ? | 13:16 |
| kaiser2011 | it has windows on it | 13:16 |
| jonathan__ | :( I did last night..... it's sooooo long.... | 13:16 |
| lucy | viliny: I can't afford one.. the one I need is going for $71 and that's about £50..I'm still a student. Okay the burn has failed..what can I do? | 13:16 |
| jonathan__ | i'll try some more I guess | 13:16 |
| viliny | lucy: how did the burn fail? | 13:16 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Yes, just click on sda1 and tell it to resize and downsize it | 13:16 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: But you probably want to restart the install utility first | 13:16 |
| Slart | bullgard: you're welcome | 13:16 |
| Scott_Puopolo1 | I'm having trouble starting up to the login screen but I can start in recovery mode, anyone have a sec to help me troubleshoot? | 13:16 |
| tj83_ | kaiser2011, plz use my nick else i wont see your post. I am in multiple channels. its not difficult partitioning takes a little pre-thought before you begin. | 13:17 |
| kaiser2011 | ok restarting it | 13:17 |
| lucy | viliny: it just said error, shall I try it again? | 13:17 |
| viliny | lucy: do you have any friends running windows? all you need to do is download ubuntu iso image and place it in a folder with the executable you get from pendrivelinux and then run the exe/bat files and it creates the usb-stick for you... | 13:17 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: You probably want to delete the sda2 partition, then resize, then create the new partition(s) in the newly freed space | 13:18 |
| underdev | "sudo apt-get install slocate" tells me that slocate is not available- is there some alternative that has replaced it, or does anyone know how to get it? | 13:18 |
| viliny | this would spare you from having to work awith failing hardware and make it a little bit easier i guess | 13:18 |
| linuxser | hi | 13:18 |
| lucy | viliny: I can't get hold of a computer running windows.. | 13:18 |
| ectospasm | hmmm, I was trying out the Kubuntu liveCD (from a flash drive) and it now prompts me for a username and password before I login (I haven't installed anything yet). Any idea why this is, or what the default username and password are? | 13:18 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Like llutz said, if you dont plan on hibernating the machine, you can set a smaller swap size, like maybe 1.5 | 13:18 |
| soreau | GB | 13:18 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: ok i restarted the utility. i deleted the sda2 and have 10 gb free space. how do i resize sda 1 now ? | 13:19 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Right click on it and do Resize | 13:19 |
| underdev | found it- mlocate | 13:19 |
| llutz | kaiser2011: be sure to have an actual backup before resizing any partition | 13:20 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: right click gives me options to change, delete and revert | 13:20 |
| viliny | lucy: in what country do you live? | 13:20 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Well, you might have to apply the changes to delete the other partition first | 13:20 |
| underdev | poc mlocate has security features | 13:21 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: Here's where the problem is:http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3246979f | 13:21 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: Here's where the problem is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3246979f | 13:21 |
| hak5fan | What is the correct way to restart the X server now that ctrl + alt + backsp is disabled? And how can I do this from a script? Ofcource i can drop to a console and do killall X, but that is'nt doable for a script | 13:21 |
| lucy | viliny: England | 13:21 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: i think i will go back to windows. defrag sda1. then partition it like wise to around 20 GB sda2. then i will install ubuntu. that seems like a safe bet ? | 13:22 |
| lucy | viliny: Error while burning. The drive is busy. | 13:22 |
| soreau | jonathan__: So completely remove the nvidia driver from the system, then reinstall it | 13:22 |
| soreau | kaiser2011: Sure | 13:22 |
| viliny | lucy: did this come at the end of burning? | 13:22 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: that easy??? | 13:22 |
| lucy | viliny: yeah | 13:22 |
| * jonathan__ bows at soreau's feat | 13:22 | |
| soreau | jonathan__: It would be the first thing I would try | 13:22 |
| viliny | the cd might work still, lucy | 13:22 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau: ok one last thing to ask. when i add space as swap. what options do i use ? | 13:22 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: o, I un-bow then | 13:23 |
| lucy | viliny: so I save the long? | 13:23 |
| lucy | viliny log* | 13:23 |
| kaiser2011 | thats the only thing left i guess. which that i shall be able to install ubuntu | 13:23 |
| === jay is now known as Guest42886 | ||
| soreau | kaiser2011: When you go to do swap, just select the type as swap and all other options will be greyed out. It will just be swap | 13:23 |
| viliny | lucy: im not sure what you mean by saving the log but in my opinion theres still a chance that the cd is ok if it gave an error at the end of burning | 13:23 |
| kaiser2011 | sareau: oh ok | 13:24 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: I'm pretty sure the older version did what I wanted it to on an older version of ubuntu, should I try that one? or just reinstall this one? | 13:24 |
| mtaftm | hey all can anyone help me here? | 13:24 |
| mtaftm | need help with linux :/ | 13:24 |
| kaiser2011 | soreau, tj89, llutz : thanks guys. i think i know now how to. will take a bit of a break and then complete the installtion. | 13:24 |
| ectospasm | mtaftm: don't ask to ask, just ask your question | 13:24 |
| soreau | jonathan__: First reinstall. Then if it still isnt working, review the situation and possibly use a different version of the driver | 13:25 |
| mtaftm | sorry | 13:25 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: alright, thanks | 13:25 |
| mtaftm | webcam is not being reconised in cheese, however in terminal the webcam is shown in there | 13:25 |

| ectospasm | incd: using screen, you can | 13:26 |
| incd | I know that | 13:26 |
| incd | But without screen | 13:26 |
| incd | kinda like screen -dr | 13:26 |
| incd | But for TTY | 13:26 |

| mtaftm | how can i get my webcam working? | 13:26 |

| nuker | hello how to gint menu.lst in krrmic | 13:27 |
| tsimpson | incd: not without wrapping the session in something like script, you can't just gain access to another terminal/tty (for security reasons) | 13:28 |

| jonathan__ | soreau: yes, I do :( alright I'll try that I guess | 13:29 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: is there a quicker way to restart than a full restart? like a way to restart x? | 13:30 |
| mtaftm | no its not :/ but its worked on ubuntu before | 13:30 |

| soreau | jonathan__: Did you try apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx and all packages found by dpkg -l | 13:35 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Did you try apt-get remove --purge nvidia-glx and all packages found by dpkg -l|grep nvidia ? | 13:35 |

| mtaftm | ahh its anoying | 13:37 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Do dpkg -l|grep nvidia then look at the packages that have ii by their name. Then purge those packages, and after, reinstall the driver again | 13:37 |
| mtaftm | and why is my font colour grey :/ | 13:38 |

| neezer | does anyone here know about mediatomb with 9.10? | 13:48 |
| soreau | mtaftm: What have you tried and what is not working? | 13:48 |
| soreau | ! work | mtaftm | 13:48 |
| ubottu | mtaftm: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 13:48 |
| nils- | can I have mountall be more verbose? | 13:48 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: it doesn't show any drivers to install :) | 13:49 |
| jonathan__ | :O | 13:49 |
| mtaftm | soreau: ok heres the problem, i thought my webcam was broke, i tryed it out yesterday on amsn and it came on :S , anyway so this morning i installed cheese, a webcam software, its not detecting it, so i thought well it must of gone again, checked terminal and my webcam was listed, i dont know how to install the driver for it, thats what i think the problem is | 13:50 |
| th1 | mtaftm, does it work in aMSN still? | 13:50 |
| soreau | jonathan__: You need to install the -modaliases packages for each version for it to show up | 13:50 |
| mtaftm | th1: no | 13:51 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: um... ok, what's the command? apt-get install nvidia-modaliases-185? | 13:51 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Do something like apt-cache search modalias|grep nvidia to get a list | 13:51 |
| jonathan__ | ok... | 13:51 |
| soreau | mtaftm: Have you read these links? | 13:52 |

| th1 | mtaftm, if it worked in amsn and now it doesn't, and you haven't uninstalled anything, then I'd guess that there is a problem with the webcam.. | 13:52 |

| soreau | jonathan__: You should only have to restart the jockey-gtk applet | 13:54 |
| jonathan__ | ok, how? | 13:54 |
| neezer | If i forward a few ports to my playstation 3 from my router is that going to be a security risk? | 13:54 |
| soreau | jonathan__: The hardware drivers in the menu is jockey | 13:55 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: ok, but still none show up. I installed the 185 package... but no drivers are coming up | 13:55 |
| llutz | neezer: everthing reachable from outside is a security risk | 13:55 |
| mfilenko | Hey there! Is it possible to separate contacts in Empathy for different accounts? | 13:55 |

| bullgard | mfilenko: Yes, At least if you are using different protocols. | 13:56 |
| soreau | jonathan__: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules or dpkg -l|grep linux-restricted-modules | 13:56 |
| aaron11 | How do I share my screen on skype' | 13:57 |
| jonathan__ | I did the second one, and nothing happened, not even any errors. trying the first one... | 13:57 |
| soreau | jonathan__: If the dpkg command doesnt show a package, that means it is not installed | 13:58 |

| neezer | thanks though. | 14:01 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | hello everyone, everytime i put a cd/dvd into my dvd player the pc restarts, i run ubuntu 8.10, any clue? thanks | 14:01 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Well if you installed the modaliaes packages and they are not showing in the list, start reinstalling the packages you originally removed when you did dpkg -l|grep nvidia (hint: use the up arrow key in your terminal) | 14:02 |
| mtaftm | i swear theres a way you can start a cam program in terminal | 14:02 |
| aaron11 | How do I share my screen on skype' | 14:02 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: *Sigh* I only did one version, should I do all versions of the modalias packages? | 14:02 |
| mfilenko | bullgard, is there an option or it does it by default? | 14:03 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Well whatever version you do should show in the list, but you probably want to install the ones that were showing up in the list before | 14:03 |
| mtaftm | soreau: is there a commend in terminal to start a webcam program | 14:04 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: ok, I did one of them, I will do the other as well :( this shouldn't be this difficult :( | 14:04 |
| aaron11 | How do I share my screen on skype' | 14:04 |
| soreau | mtaftm: Like cheese? You can just run it in the terminal | 14:04 |
| mtaftm | yh but theres a built in command :/ | 14:04 |

| bassogigas | McL0VIN, it's like you plug your device to system | 14:06 |
| ousmane86 | hello | 14:06 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: mount = connecting filesystem to the system | 14:06 |
| bassogigas | like you plug-in phones | 14:06 |
| llutz | neezer: they should be same for all | 14:06 |
| neezer | great! thanks a lot llutz | 14:06 |

| bullgard | McL0VIN: read 'man mount'. But this is for advanced learners. | 14:07 |

| Hew | llutz, using the "users & groups" option in the menu | 14:09 |

| luist | hey... how can i remove the gnome panel? it doesnt have the remove option and the lowest size i can set is 17 | 14:11 |
| shuuIRC | llutz, is there any way to change ownership of folders that are owned by root? Because I can't do anything outside of my little home folder.. permissiond enied. | 14:11 |
| llutz | shuuIRC: you don't want to change them, use sudo to access | 14:11 |
| maco | shuuIRC: use sudo when you want to edit things outside of /home | 14:11 |
| neezer | looks like I don't need to forward any ports....just set up static IP on my ps3 and make sure upnp is enabled. | 14:11 |
| Hew | I'm getting nasty looking errors like: "Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority" | 14:11 |
| shuuIRC | so when I want to move a file from my home folder, for instance a plug-in, how do i do it? drag and drop will get me permission denied | 14:12 |
| llutz | neezer: if your router allows upnp (which is a severe security-risk imho) | 14:12 |
| jiohdi | shuulRC, you can manipulate the content of any folder if you open a root window and use thunar or another file manager.. it will open as root and you will have full access, but you must be extremely careful doing that | 14:12 |
| Hew | also I have encrypted home directory, not sure if that matters | 14:12 |
| jiohdi | shuuIRC: in the root window if you type thunar it will open a ROOT file manager | 14:12 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: it has stopped searching for drivers when I open it, how can I get it to search again? | 14:12 |
| shuuIRC | how do i open a root window then | 14:13 |
| shuuIRC | :o | 14:13 |
| jiohdi | to open a root window just type sudo -s | 14:13 |
| llutz | shuuIRC: open terminal, sudo -i | 14:13 |
| jiohdi | and then your password | 14:13 |
| shuuIRC | ok I'll try it out, thanks | 14:13 |
| soreau | jonathan__: Like I said, try reinstalling the packages that you removed initially | 14:13 |
| jiohdi | or you can use gksudo too I believe | 14:13 |
| bullgard | llutz: At least they either keep or change their names if I change the locale. How is this feature implemented in tem? | 14:14 |
| jonathan__ | soreau: alright, that's what I'm doing. I was just checking in-between each package | 14:14 |
| bullgard | llutz: What is a meta-directory? | 14:14 |

| llutz | shuuIRC: yes | 14:17 |
| linuxuz3r | shuuIRC: try sudo -s | 14:17 |

| shuuIRC | linuxuz3r, sudo -s does nothing :o | 14:18 |
| llutz | shuuIRC: better use "sudo -i" instead of -s, -i sets proper root-environment | 14:18 |

| Myrtti | TangentCollision: you're asking a loaded question. installing with the mini.iso creates the smallest running environment, but it's not usable to normal desktop users | 15:19 |

| llutz | !minimal | 15:22 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:22 |
| llutz | TangentCollision: ^^ | 15:22 |
| TangentCollision | so it's alternate | 15:22 |
| TangentCollision | okay | 15:22 |
| llutz | it's not alternate | 15:22 |
| syockit | TangentCollision: it's like alternate, excepet that it doesn't have all the packages | 15:22 |
| Myrtti | redpages: thank you for reminding me about that factoid | 15:22 |

| Alf_Stewart | sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp | 15:28 |
| Alf_Stewart | is that right? | 15:29 |
| DHR | llutz: oops, you are right. Thanks. | 15:29 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: that's the right way to install the package, but i'm not sure what gnome-ppp does :) | 15:29 |
| Alf_Stewart | oh ok :) | 15:29 |
| Alf_Stewart | either do i lol | 15:29 |
| llutz | DHR: even karmic cannot perform miracles | 15:29 |

| ice_age | FiReSTaRT: gnome-ppp uses wvdial to connect dialup to the net | 15:30 |
| Alf_Stewart | that should be it then ice_age am i right? | 15:30 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: ice_age just answered it :) | 15:30 |
| mercyless | anybody there? | 15:31 |

| mercyless | oh) my english not well, from russia, when I start ubuntu my mac adress conflict, i want to change it=) how? | 15:32 |
| Alf_Stewart | i remember i had troubles previously with another linux distro and i couldnt get the modem to work :( | 15:33 |
| ice_age | Alf_Stewart: use wvdial package. Sadly it doesnot come with ubuntu karmic but it used to be present in intrepid. Gnome-ppp is just the gui/front end of wvdial. | 15:33 |
| llutz | !info wvdial | 15:33 |
| ubottu | wvdial (source: wvdial): PPP dialer with built-in intelligence. In component main, is optional. Version 1.60.1+nmu2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 184 kB, installed size 496 kB | 15:33 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: but if you install gnome-ppp it should also install wvdial as well | 15:33 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: rsync is for synchronization , i need something so remote desktop to my server | 15:34 |

| Alf_Stewart | ok | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | im going to give it a go now | 15:34 |
| mercyless | thnq | 15:34 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: you can use rsync to clone your installation | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | im going to install it on my usb drive | 15:34 |
| FiReSTaRT | ok gl Alf_Stewart | 15:34 |
| darck1 | Hi. I'm trying to start proftpd and it's not working because I have port 21 currently in use. However, if I use "socklist" from procinfo, it does indeed list port 21 but doesn't have a name or process id listed for it. How can I tell what is using port 21? | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | thanks all for the help | 15:34 |
| ice_age | The problem is how canyou install it with no net? | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | i appreciate it | 15:34 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: wvdial is available in the repos, but not automatically installed btw :) | 15:34 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: just needs remote-pc, ssh-access, empty partition | 15:34 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: clone my installation?! ... i don't understand please explain | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | ice_age i have an iso of ubuntu | 15:34 |
| Alf_Stewart | FiReSTaRT ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! so thats why i couldnt find it when i ran the live cd yesturday! i knew it! | 15:35 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: did i get you right, you want to clone your local installation to remote-pc? | 15:35 |
| Alf_Stewart | thank you for clarifying that for me FiReSTaRT | 15:35 |
| Alf_Stewart | what about nvidia drivers are they in the repos as well? | 15:35 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: i want to view my desktop from remote location | 15:35 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: yeah, you should be able to install them by clicking on system, administration, hardware drivers | 15:36 |
| ice_age | Alf_Stewart: Yes but how can you connect to the net and install wvdial/gnome-ppp. It is not present in karmic. | 15:36 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: sorry, then, got you wrong. use nx/vnc then | 15:36 |
| Alf_Stewart | ice_age oh i thought it was? isnt that what FiReSTaRT just said? | 15:36 |
| Alf_Stewart | its in the repos? | 15:36 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: in the repos, not on the cd.. u need to get it to a place with working highspeed internet | 15:37 |
| Alf_Stewart | oh | 15:37 |
| Alf_Stewart | so im outta luck then | 15:37 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: download the drivers and the wvdial/gnome-ppp packages and you should be ready to go dialup | 15:37 |
| ice_age | No brother. You have to manually download if you have not net just like i did. from windows wit net | 15:37 |
| Alf_Stewart | oh | 15:37 |
| FiReSTaRT | Alf_Stewart: why? unless it's bolted to the floor you should be able to move the comp | 15:37 |
| Alf_Stewart | ok | 15:37 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: yeah i don't want to use vnc/nx .... i am sorry i am not wording this right i guess.... how about exporting my DISPLAY to a remote location | 15:37 |
| katycorp | does anyone know if the nv video driver supports twinview/dual display? | 15:38 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: use ssh x-forwarding | 15:38 |
| Alf_Stewart | ice_age can i download it on here then when i load ubuntu i can mount c: drive and move the repos to the usb drive where ubuntu is installed? | 15:38 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: is there is a tutorial i can read please | 15:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | katycorp: the nvidia driver supoorts both | 15:38 |
| llutz | McL0VIN: just google pls, should be plenty in the net | 15:39 |
| ice_age | You have to install it. Use sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 15:39 |
| McL0VIN | llutz: ok , thank you so much for your help and patients | 15:39 |
| TangentCollision | okay, been looking, what directory do I point the net installer at? | 15:39 |
| * FiReSTaRT bbl | 15:39 | |

| Alf_Stewart | i cant find it in google? | 15:41 |
| ice_age | Alf_Stewart:that is not repo. that is a terminal command. First go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for wvdial. then download the package. Don't forget to download the dependencies altogether 3. You haveto download 5 packagesi total | 15:42 |
| Alf_Stewart | ohh ok | 15:42 |

| Alf_Stewart | amd64 | 15:44 |

| ice_age | Use amd64 packages then. Download the dependencies also. | 15:45 |
| dlocal | :D | 15:45 |
| Chousuke | amd64 is 64-bit, i386 is 32-bit | 15:45 |
| Alf_Stewart | which ones are the dependancies sorry im so new to linux sorry | 15:45 |
| madcat1990 | Is there anyone here experienced in MIPS Compiling on ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| ice_age | Alf_Stewart: the packages you need are :libuniconf4.6_4.6-2_i386.deb ,libwvstreams4.6-base_4.6-2_i386.deb, libwvstreams4.6-extras_4.6-2_i386.deb, wvdial_1.60.1+nmu2ubuntu1_i386.deb, Gnome-ppp.deb | 15:45 |
| Alf_Stewart | thanks ice_age thats what i needed to know | 15:46 |
| irc9 | rut roh rorge | 15:46 |
| OerHeks | josespinal computer with no keyboard ? did this work and now broken ? | 15:46 |
| Alf_Stewart | Chousuke so do i download the 32bit or 64bit? | 15:46 |
| Alf_Stewart | or it doesnt matteR? | 15:46 |
| Chousuke | but, why are you installing a package manually? | 15:46 |
| Chousuke | doesn't APT work? | 15:46 |
| Alf_Stewart | Chousuke i was told to do so? | 15:46 |
| Chousuke | ie. sudo aptitude install wvdial | 15:46 |
| subito | hello, i'm on ubuntu, but i've installed kubuntu-desktop, now that i want kde 4.4 RC1, i've added the kubuntu-ppa on my sources.list, but when if i type apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, the kde packages are not upgraded (but i got a few upgrades for other packages) | 15:47 |
| razertek | is there a way to look up user info on another machine in my network, something like the w program even if they are on a windows system? | 15:47 |
| josespinal | OerHeks, Yes it worked, now it doesn't | 15:47 |
| Ma | Is it possible to restrict a user to just browse one folder? | 15:47 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: ah, you don't have internet access configured yet? | 15:48 |
| Alf_Stewart | Chousuke are you saying that the package is included in karmic? | 15:48 |
| Alf_Stewart | nopsey :) | 15:48 |
| Alf_Stewart | i only have dial up lol | 15:48 |
| Chousuke | I wonder if those packages are on the CD | 15:48 |
| josespinal | Is it that the computer must be logged in and not showing the GDM login screen? | 15:48 |
| Alf_Stewart | thats what im wondering? | 15:48 |
| Alf_Stewart | i thought they might be | 15:49 |
| Alf_Stewart | i was told they were | 15:49 |
| irc9 | Ma: Why would you have to do such a thing? | 15:49 |
| Alf_Stewart | then ice_age said they arent | 15:49 |
| Alf_Stewart | i dont know? | 15:49 |
| razertek | anyone familiar with w | 15:49 |
| irc9 | someone's messing around with bots | 15:50 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: hmmh. | 15:50 |
| Alf_Stewart | Chousuke do you think they might be? | 15:50 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: well, I have no way to confirm but wvdial is in the "main" section at least | 15:50 |
| Ma | irc9: To let friends get access to a shell without browsing the whole server | 15:50 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: so it should be on the cd | 15:50 |
| josespinal | OerHeks, Is it that the computer must be logged in and not showing the GDM login screen? | 15:51 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: I would expect Ubuntu to support dial-up internet out of the box. | 15:51 |
| === rashed2020 is now known as RAlnaemi | ||
| irc9 | Ma: You mean in a Ubuntu Server (S)FTP? | 15:51 |
| Chousuke | Alf_Stewart: but I haven't had dial-up for almost a decade now, so... | 15:51 |
| Ma | irc9: no, ssh shell access. | 15:51 |
| Alf_Stewart | Chousuke all i know is when i loaded the live cd i didnt seen anything for dialup options or set up only for broadband or wireless is that because im running the live cd and havnt installed it fully for all the packages to be open? | 15:51 |
| ice_age_ | Chousuke: not so . There is no wvdial now. It was present till 8.10 | 15:52 |
| Alf_Stewart | there ya go | 15:52 |
| Alf_Stewart | lol | 15:52 |
| irc9 | the parting and leaving is the lamest 'attack' ive ever seen | 15:52 |
| Chousuke | ice_age_: maybe it was replaced by something else? | 15:52 |
| razertek | Alf_Stewart: what are you trying to do? | 15:52 |
| Alf_Stewart | ill continue to download the packages then | 15:52 |
| ragsagar | ice_age_: why no wvdial now? | 15:52 |
| Alf_Stewart | razertek get my dial up working on ubuntu | 15:52 |
| madcat1990 | Is there anyone here experienced in MIPS Compiling on ubuntu? | 15:52 |
| Chousuke | Karmic should have ModemManager or something | 15:52 |
| ikonia | madcat1990: mips as a native platform or cross-compiling | 15:52 |
| ice_age_ | I don't know. It is present in fedora and Sabayon | 15:53 |
| razertek | Alf_Stewart: where does network gui get you? | 15:53 |
| madcat1990 | @Ikonia : Cross compiling | 15:53 |
| Alf_Stewart | only for wireless and broadband connections | 15:53 |

| ice_age_ | Alf_Stewart: as far as i know wvdial is for dialup. You must install it. I am using dialup. | 15:53 |
| ikonia | madcat1990: ok, so what's the problem ?(I assume one is x86 the other mips) | 15:54 |
| Alf_Stewart | ice_age im taking your advice brother and downloading all the dependants | 15:54 |

| ice_age_ | Which one ? try another server | 15:58 |
| ikonia | madcat1990: doesn't look like a package, so you'll have to build your own mips-gcc compiler | 15:58 |
| madcat1990 | @ikonia : Any suggestions as to where to start? | 15:58 |

| FunkyWeasel | Good afternoon. I have installed GAP, the animation Tool for gimp, but cannot find how to launch it. I cannot find it anywhere in GIMP, in the Applications Menu, or launch it from command line. | 15:59 |
| razertek | mallochigh: who produces wubi? | 15:59 |
| master_ | tell me | 15:59 |
| madcat1990 | @ikonia : Where's the source? D: | 15:59 |
| ikonia | madcat1990: gnu.org | 15:59 |
| mallochigh | ubuntu | 15:59 |
| mallochigh | wubi is the windows installer | 16:00 |
| razertek | bbl | 16:00 |
| FunkyWeasel | The tutorial, http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Using_GAP/ doesn't really explain how to start GAP. Or access it. It assume it magically appears. | 16:01 |
| llutz | FunkyWeasel: should appear in plugins | 16:01 |
| R1ck | hi, anyone here experienced with installing Ubuntu Server via XenCenter? | 16:01 |
| mallochigh | I started the wubii installer to make a smaller wubi image but geez it would be nice to use the one ialready have | 16:01 |

| madcat1990 | @ikonia : Let me guess, I have to alter the gcc compiler by hand to be able to compile to my MIPS processor, right? | 16:08 |
| ikonia | madcat1990: alter it by hand ??? no, you just have to compile it for the local arch but include/link it to the target arch toolchian | 16:09 |

| Norse_Nemo | blackxored: no but it is super easy to install | 16:22 |
| blackxored | Norse_Nemo, where I can get songbird? | 16:22 |
| blackxored | Myrtti, I didn't like exaile, amarok simply rocks, but now on gnome | 16:22 |
| Norse_Nemo | blackxored: Google search Songbird | 16:22 |
| blackxored | ice_age_, ^^^^ | 16:22 |
| blackxored | what's it's license???? | 16:23 |
| ice_age_ | blackxored: amarok works. I am using it | 16:23 |
| Norse_Nemo | blackxored: freeware | 16:23 |
| Norse_Nemo | blackxored: it is made by Mozilla | 16:23 |
| blackxored | Norse_Nemo, "freeware" isn't a license, I was wondering because there *might* be a reason to not being included in the repos | 16:23 |
| enhickman | blackxored: Rhythmbox does with a plugin i think | 16:23 |

| llutz | FunkyWeasel: it's just a collection of tools, one is "convert" commandline | 16:25 |
| blackxored | Norse_Nemo, what I meant by being in the repos, is that we normally *adapt* applications | 16:25 |

| Norse_Nemo | blackxored: let me know what you think | 16:26 |
| blackxored | Norse_Nemo, I though it was the license | 16:26 |
| ice_age_ | FunkyWeasel: Yes but consider your work is more important. You can switchback when there is better alternative in ubuntu. But hey it is victory for wine. | 16:27 |

| Alan502 | koichirose, it also depends on your ram... on the usage of your disk.. but it will take long | 16:31 |
| DasEi | hyatt: you will need a section in your xorg for the second moni | 16:32 |
| koichirose | Alan502, the disk is new, so no usage, I have 4gb ram, on ubuntu 64bit. Am I looking at 20 minutes, 1 hour, 7 hours? | 16:33 |

| Norse_Nemo | Hearit: if you want a console that will remain root, you can use sudo -s | 17:09 |

| DasEi | syockit: no, see: | 17:09 |
| DasEi | !sudo | 17:09 |
| ubottu | 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) | 17:09 |
| Norse_Nemo | syockit: the sudo password is your username passwrd | 17:10 |
| the_real_dave | syockit: Sorry for butting in but no, that's the root account. Use sudo passwd to create a password for it | 17:10 |
| DasEi | !root | syockit: | 17:10 |
| ubottu | syockit:: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:10 |

| ubottu | ice_age syockit: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 17:12 |
| the_real_dave | jMyles: that sounds like a really cool idea! :D Best of luck:D | 17:12 |
| rob_p | jMyles: I understand. So if you want to watch the packet dump of the interface you are coming in on, you can do, "sudo tcpdump -i <ethx> ! tcp port 32" | 17:12 |
| jMyles | !root | syockit | 17:12 |
| ubottu | syockit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:12 |
| grawity | opex1: Last time I had to do that, it was in gconf-editor. But I heard one now needs to mess with HAL configuration... eh, open gconf-editor and look under the /system branch. (Also, if by "mount point" you meant the directory, then you wouldn't be able to access it with 0666 - you'd need 0777.) | 17:12 |

| Slart | the_real_dave: for functionality.. go with the one from adobe | 17:13 |
| jMyles | rob_p: What I really want to know is this: Is the gateway attempting to forward packets? If so, why aren't they making it? | 17:14 |
| the_real_dave | Slart: thank you :) | 17:14 |
| rob_p | jMyles: By default, it will dump all packets. If you want to target some ports, you have to specify them. | 17:14 |
| ice_age | syockit: you can create if you like as i said. It is present in other distros like fedora | 17:14 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Gotcha. Well, when I watch all ports, nothing happens when I client tries to ping ubuntu.com. | 17:14 |
| zig_ | Is there a tool like system-config-lvm that won't wipe one's RAID setup? | 17:14 |
| rob_p | jMyles: For instance, if you wanted to see what http requests were going out from the gateway box to the 'Net, you would do something like: sudo tcpdump -i ethx tcp port 80 | 17:14 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I suspect that the clients don't understand who their gateway is. | 17:15 |
| zig_ | Palimpset doesn't seem to care much for resizing LV's (and their related filesystem) | 17:15 |
| syockit | ice_age: no, it's just funny how everyone rushes to answer that particular question. Anyways, thank you all for attention and answer! | 17:15 |
| bakerman | syockit: that's for security reasons, so nobody has to login as root and is doing standard work with full root credentials - that's my interpretation | 17:15 |
| ice_age | sudo help to delegate/negotiate for just one instance and considered safer security wise | 17:15 |

| grawity | Oli``: in that case, add a rule for deluge's PID when you start it? ip6?tables can filter by process ID, I'm sure. | 17:26 |
| Oli`` | grawity: I'll look into it | 17:26 |
| zig_ | How does one get into rescue mode for an Ubuntu Server 9.10 installation? | 17:26 |
| zig_ | The bootloader doesn't appear to come up at all, just loads things... | 17:26 |
| jMyles | rob_p: done. | 17:26 |
| c0p3rn1c | pff I can't figure out how to sign a file with my public key :( | 17:26 |
| grawity | zig_: Does it at least prompt you to press 'ESC'? | 17:26 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Let me see if I can find an old config around here. | 17:26 |
| rob_p | jMyles: stand by... | 17:27 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: What kind of key, GPG? | 17:27 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I can pastebin it if that's easier | 17:27 |
| zig_ | grawity: Nope | 17:27 |
| c0p3rn1c | gravity: pgp yes | 17:27 |
| zig_ | Default installation, too | 17:27 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: gpg -b file.txt (or gpg --detach-sign file.txt) for a detached signature (one that is written to a separate file). | 17:27 |
| pwk | hi, I installed 9.10 using alternate and the encrypted system via LVM option. Now I would like the system to also mount /home from my second hard disk, encrypted also (with same pw), where do I edit? I looked in init /etc/initramfs-tools folder, but there are no files there.... | 17:28 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: gpg --clearsign file.txt <-- this one would sign the file's contents, and put the signature inside it. Only works for text. | 17:28 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: Optionally add --armor for the signature to be in plain text. | 17:28 |
| c0p3rn1c | I have a seperate file with a public key provided | 17:29 |
| c0p3rn1c | I have to sign a database with this key.asc file | 17:29 |
| gasmask | Getting an error in Xsane: "Failed to start scanner: Document feeder out of documents". It scans via flat-bed, but not threw the ADF which is what I want. Any help? | 17:29 |
| c0p3rn1c | grawity, how can I encrypt this database.sql with this key.asc ? | 17:30 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Open it up in a text editor and go down to the line, "#interface" | 17:30 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: First import that key to your keyring, using gpg --import | 17:31 |
| rob_p | jMyles: approx line 85 | 17:31 |
| c0p3rn1c | grawity: i did that | 17:31 |
| c0p3rn1c | and then ? | 17:31 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I'm there. | 17:31 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: Then ... wait, do you want to encrypt it or sign? Or both at the same time? | 17:31 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Uncomment it (remove the # from it) and assign the internal interface to it. | 17:31 |
| pwk | when I install via LVM + encryption, where is the script that mounts my partitions during startup? | 17:31 |
| c0p3rn1c | grawity: both | 17:32 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: gpg -r <recipients-key-id-here> -se database.sql | 17:32 |
| jMyles | rob_p: done. | 17:32 |
| zig_ | There also doesn't appear to be a menu.lst on this installation... | 17:32 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Now go down to line 103 and uncomment, "#bind-interfaces" | 17:32 |
| grawity | zig_: grub2 doesn't have that, it uses grub.conf or something like that. | 17:32 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That directive doesn't take any arguments... just uncomment it. | 17:33 |
| grawity | c0p3rn1c: After -r, put the key ID of the recipient's key. | 17:33 |
| the_real_dave | zig_: grub2 uses grub.cfg instead | 17:33 |
| jMyles | rob_p: ok, done | 17:33 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Now line 137, "#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h" remove the comment and put in your applicable network range (for DHCP leases you want it to hand out). | 17:34 |
| zig_ | I see there's a warning in grub.cfg, telling me not to edit it =) | 17:34 |
| zig_ | What interface would one use to modify the configuration of grub2? | 17:34 |
| pwk_ | hi, I installed 9.10 using the alternate CD and I selected LVM + encrypted. Now I want to make it mount my /home from a second hard-drive. This also needs to be decrypted (using same pw as "/"), where can I set that? | 17:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | !grub2 | zig_ | 17:35 |
| ubottu | zig_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:35 |
| Lungan | why doesnt microphone work in skype ubuntu? | 17:35 |
| jMyles | rob_p: You know, I actually wondered about this. We are in a very densely populated block, and just for novelty sake, I'd like to hand out ips other than 192.168.whatever - can I do this? | 17:36 |
| pwk_ | i thought that the decryption process is configured in /etc/initramfs-tools scripts, but that is empty | 17:36 |
| zig_ | ZykoticK9: Thanks | 17:36 |
| Lungan | Having trouble with Skype on ubuntu, mic doesn't work using pulse audio (orginal in ubuntu 9.10) | 17:36 |
| grawity | pwk_: /etc/crypttab? | 17:36 |
| llutz | jMyles: use 10.x.x.x network | 17:36 |
| Joss__ | hello | 17:36 |
| DasEi | Lungan: either it is muted or pulseaudio isn't correctly set (esd by default I tink, got to re-link it) | 17:36 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That should get you a working configuration. Basically we have forced it to bind only to your internal interface (obvious reasons) and defined the range it will hand out. | 17:36 |
| wildc4rd | evening all | 17:36 |
| grawity | jMyles: Use IPv6 :D | 17:36 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Yes. | 17:37 |
| jMyles | grawity, rob_p, llutz: can I just put 10.x.x.x and it will work? Also, yes, I want to make IPv6 the focus of our network - I need some advice on that matter as well. | 17:37 |
| pwk_ | grawity, well that file only has one entry, for sda1_crypt, no where there is mentioned my swap nor what pws to use | 17:37 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You could use a private class A range in the 10.0.0.0/8 network if you like. | 17:37 |
| Lungan | DasEi, and how do I solve that problem? Im pretty noob | 17:37 |
| scott___1 | ok so what would cause an instllation to freeze before even starting? | 17:37 |
| DasEi | Lungan: sudo apt-get install gnaome-alsamixer | 17:37 |
| DasEi | Lungan: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer | 17:38 |
| pwk_ | grawity, I assume the way it works is it decryptes "/" and then runs some script on "/" to decrypt the other ones? | 17:38 |
| scott___1 | we have a pc which im installing 9.10 desktop, and no matter which menu option is chosen, it freezes there | 17:38 |
| scott___1 | is there some kind of was around this? | 17:38 |
| Lungan | DasEi, I have alsamixer installed | 17:38 |
| Cubuntu | help me, I found three choice os when start my laptop | 17:38 |
| marks256 | i have a static route setup so that 192.168.0.x traffic is routed to eth1. I have a web server on 192.168.0.4, and can ping it. but firefox will not connect to it (i know the web server works). How do i fix this? | 17:38 |
| Norse_Nemo | scott____1: at wat menu part does it freeze? | 17:38 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Once you have your config file the way you want it, you will need to (re)start the service. | 17:39 |
| scott___1 | Norse_Nemo: any of the options cause freeze | 17:39 |
| grawity | jMyles: yeah, just use 10.0.0.0 the same way you used 192.168.0.0/24 previously. Just beware that you'll probably want to change netmask - usually 10.x.0.0/16 is used, so 10.x.0.0/255.255.0.0 or somtehing. | 17:39 |
| scott___1 | especially the install option | 17:39 |
| DasEi | Lungan: and checked the mic to be unmuted ? | 17:39 |
| Norse_Nemo | scott____1: sounds like a bad install media | 17:39 |
| Lungan | DasEi, Now its unmuted but still doesn't work | 17:39 |
| scott___1 | Norse_Nemo: even checking the disc freezes | 17:39 |
| nomnex | DasEi, I was watching a movie. I will try that on another 9.10 there could be some change in the default permissions for auto mount usb devices in 9.10 to avoid the default root:root permission on USB HD. It could make sens. Anyway the movie is freaking thrilling. It's RUINS. I get back to it. Will check the IRC log for eventual answer later on. Bye | 17:39 |
| scott___1 | Norse_Nemo: failed burn? | 17:40 |
| Norse_Nemo | scott____1: sounds about right | 17:40 |
| rob_p | jMyles: "/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart" should get it up and going with the new config | 17:41 |
| Norse_Nemo | scott___1: try booting the CD ona different system | 17:41 |
| maverick | i installed the lastest version of CCC from the ati website..but it is not getting listed as installed in Hardware Drivers...as i result i cannot enable visual effects..any ideas? | 17:42 |
| luux | how ya`ll doin my negroes!! | 17:42 |
| DasEi | Lungan: http://tinyurl.com/4d7lk3 | 17:43 |
| luux | I be needin help | 17:43 |
| jMyles | grawity, rob_p: ok, it's time for a confession. All my life, I've seen "netmask," and I've even ready the wikipedia article on it, but for the life of me, I do not know what a netmask is or what it does. I also just blindly put "255.255.255.0" wherever I see it. Can you briefly explain how it applies here? | 17:43 |
| Norse_Nemo | jMyles: the Subnet does mostly what the name sounds like, it is a sub network | 17:44 |
| DasEi | maverick: ati's propitary aren't supportedsince > xorg 7.2 ; got to use the opensource drivers, which card ? | 17:44 |
| JakobLaursen | How do I install a Canon PIXMA MP800? | 17:44 |
| macbook | today is a good day, I got ubuntu to work as my main system | 17:44 |
| rob_p | jMyles: It's not something that can just easily be explained. | 17:44 |
| maverick | DasEi: ATI HD 4850..i read that 3d is not supported fully for this card in the open soure drivers :( | 17:45 |
| olof | When booting up my PC, it says (in bios) System and Video BIOS Shadowed. It stays for a bout a minute, then detects HDD, init mouse, then load up Ubuntu. My dvd drive seems to be dead, could it be a problem with that? | 17:45 |
| grawity | jMyles: I'm bad at explaining things... but it works kinda like this. When you have an IP address, for example, 192.168.1.14, you can find out the network address like this: 192.168.1.14 & 255.255.255.0 = 192.168.1.0 (& means binary AND) | 17:45 |
| grawity | jMyles: Wikipedia has a few pages on netmasks and subnetting. | 17:45 |
| grawity | jMyles: Or just convert all those numbers to binary and you'll see everything. | 17:45 |
| rob_p | jMyles: I've got a Network+ book sitting here in front of me... It's 2.5 inches thick and has a whole chapter about subnetting! | 17:45 |
| maverick | DasEi: but if i install the hardware drivers (fglrx) from the repos, i can use it properly.. | 17:45 |
| malgorath | anyone know how to change the key repeat in gnome? lik eholding down W in games cause me to jerk not run | 17:46 |
| JakobLaursen | What driver can I use for PIXMA MP800 printer? | 17:46 |
| DasEi | maverick: as is, there are rumors going on ad on about ati openig, but I also swtched to nv because of this, that card is supported open source very well, keep on asking for s.o. having it, fglrx an radeondriver is what you need | 17:46 |
| macbook | there are subnetting websites | 17:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | JakobLaursen, have you seen http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-PIXMA_MP800 | 17:46 |
| macbook | i have a subneting app on my iphone | 17:46 |
| JakobLaursen | ZykoticK9: No.. I'll try it | 17:47 |
| rob_p | jMyles: I hate to say it, but you're going to have to get a book or just google it! <-- I don't usually like to tell people this but in this case, it's the only practical suggestion! | 17:47 |
| DasEi | maverick: just to calm you with los of "friggling" I even had my old x 1650 to do compiz | 17:47 |
| maverick | DasEi: so, shall i remove fglrx and install the open source drivers? | 17:48 |
| monk | can someone help me configure grub to add windows to the list, its on a separate drive | 17:48 |
| maverick | DasEi: cool :D.. | 17:48 |
| jMyles | rob_p: OK, I'll try again. I have tried in the past, but without a good real-life working example (and somebody to bonk me in the head and say "See! RIght there!") it's been tough for me to get a grasp | 17:48 |
| gasmask | Getting an error in Xsane: "Failed to start scanner: Document feeder out of documents". It scans via flat-bed, but not threw the ADF which is what I want. Any help? | 17:48 |
| rob_p | macbook: True, there are apps and sites that can calculate it for you. But if you want to *understand* what it's all about, you need to study it a bit. | 17:49 |
| jMyles | rob_p: So for now, since I have the dhcp range from 10.0.0.50 to 10.0.0.150, where do I set the netmask? | 17:49 |
| shafi | I have ubuntu 9.10 and I can't mount my Android G1 phone, any idea? | 17:49 |
| macbook | yes rob_p i was also in a networking class, it would be hard to explain. without a whiteboard | 17:49 |
| bharani | i dont know ubentu | 17:49 |
| bharani | just now i installed | 17:49 |
| crisb2010 | hey there | 17:50 |
| hamzaatova2 | will you tell me how to record from myspace player??????????? | 17:50 |
| === bharani is now known as Guest6227 | ||
| rob_p | jMyles: You could use 255.255.255.0 if you only want 255... if you want more, adjust your subnet accordingly. | 17:50 |
| Guest6227 | i want to format my pen drive | 17:50 |
| ardchoille | I'm using Karmic and I have some fodler in $HOME that have images on them, these are the special folders Public, Template, Documents. etc. How do I remove the images on these and just revert back to a normal folder icon? | 17:50 |
| DasEi | maverick: I don't know for this card, I used fglrx wih open radeon on an 1650 | 17:50 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Do you mean if I only want 255 simultaneous leases? What would the according adjustment be? | 17:50 |
| Norse_Nemo | jMyles: meet me in Private chat | 17:50 |
| rob_p | jMyles: For 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.255.255, you would use a netmask of 255.255.0.0. | 17:51 |
| crisb2010 | i am experienced problems with mysql and karmic 64bit, i found this forum post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1313834). can someone explain to me what exactly "I disabled the write barrier mode" means? | 17:51 |
| Guest6227 | is there temrminal comment ther | 17:51 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I see! | 17:51 |
| maverick | DasEi: google tells me that my card is supported, no harm in trying...removed fglrx just now..thank you :) | 17:51 |
| rob_p | jMyles: 255.255.255.0 | 17:51 |
| Guest6227 | how to format pen drive | 17:51 |
| grawity | Guest6227: mkfs | 17:51 |
| monk | gparted | 17:52 |
| Guest6227 | yes | 17:52 |
| Guest6227 | tell me | 17:52 |
| philyaw | can someone tell me how to get a process list? | 17:52 |
| philyaw | so that i can kill amarok | 17:52 |
| philyaw | which locks up constantly | 17:52 |
| Guest6227 | just if i type mkfs | 17:52 |
| Norse_Nemo | guest6227 System -> Administration -> Disk Utility | 17:53 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You can further break it into different netmask/hostmask sizes by changing the bits in the subnet mask. But for your situation, just stick with something simple. | 17:53 |
| macbook | on my panel i have system monitor open tha up | 17:53 |
| Guest6227 | in terminal it format my drive man | 17:53 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Understood. | 17:53 |
| DasEi | philyaw: top or htop | 17:53 |
| DasEi | philyaw: top or htop | 17:53 |
| acicula | Guest6227: thats what mkfs does | 17:53 |
| DasEi | philyaw: man ps | 17:53 |
| rob_p | philyaw: ps -A | grep amarok | 17:53 |
| macbook | yeah amarok don't work so well on ubuntu.. kubuntu fine | 17:53 |
| sixtila | these days i get quite a few Unlock Keyring request. is /usr/lib/telepathy/mission-control-5 a genuine one? | 17:53 |
| neezer | I think I just did an upgrade to 9.10!!! | 17:53 |
| ysmn2 | how do i change the startup boot order n grub? | 17:53 |
| neezer | Is there a way I can check what version I'm running? | 17:53 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I am getting dnsmasq: failed to bind listening socket for fe80::240:f4ff:fe58:738b: Address already in use | 17:54 |

| DasEi | congrats, neezer | 17:54 |
| DasEi | !version | neezer | 17:54 |
| ubottu | neezer: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 17:54 |

| OerHeks | neezer uname -a | 17:54 |
| macbook | what do people here use for torrents on ubuntu, i don't think transmission is the best | 17:54 |
| rob_p | ysmn2: It's in your /etc/default/grub file | 17:54 |
| zig_ | It seems that to really manage an MD+LVM setup, one has to use the command-line | 17:54 |
| DasEi | OerHeks: that's just kernel, not disto-info | 17:54 |
| grawity | macbook: Transmission, Delige, rtorrent... There is no "best". Transmission is just the simplest. | 17:55 |
| grawity | !torrent | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 17:55 |
| acicula | macbook: there are a bunch of alternatives, just search for torrent in add/remove programs? | 17:55 |
| zvacet | macbook : try deluge if you don´t like transmission | 17:55 |
| neezer | OerHeks...that doesn't tell me, but lsb_release -a does. | 17:55 |
| neezer | I am indeed running 9.10!! | 17:55 |
| rob_p | ysmn2: Change the, "GRUB_DEFAULT=0" to whatever you want the default to be. | 17:55 |
| Lungan | Does anyone have any idea why the internal microphone on my ubuntu with skype doesn't work? | 17:55 |
| recmajkemi | !firewall | 17:55 |
| macbook | yeah i really like utorrent | 17:55 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 17:55 |
| macbook | on mac and windows | 17:55 |
| acicula | Lungan: most likely its muted? | 17:55 |
| rob_p | ysmn2: Then run, "sudo update-grub" afterwards. | 17:55 |
| DasEi | zig_: no, you first plan it, then use the alternate installer's manual partition | 17:55 |
| macbook | transmission does not dl at top speed, either does jdownloader | 17:55 |
| ysmn2 | rob_p, what dose the zero repersent ? | 17:55 |
| zig_ | DasEi: I mean, for recovery purposes. | 17:56 |
| neezer | things seem to be working though...I got the Ubuntu music when I logged in so that is good. I did have a lot of troubles with my sound setting up 9.04 so I'm glad the changes are still working. | 17:56 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Sounds like another process is bound to it. Are you sure you killed the dhcp3-server process? | 17:56 |
| ssix | Anyone already on 10.04 (Lucid)? | 17:56 |
| rob_p | ysmn2: 0 is the first entry, 1 is the second, etc. | 17:56 |
| philyaw | DasEi, how can I use top and man ps together... is man ps to make "top" not display a never-ending list? | 17:56 |
| acicula | ssix: ask in #ubuntu+1 | 17:56 |
| macbook | is lucid the new ubuntu | 17:57 |
| zvacet | macbook : you can run utorrent in wine but I don´t see reason to do that | 17:57 |
| drizzt__ | :1 | 17:57 |
| ssix | macbook: It's the current Alpha release that will be release in april | 17:57 |
| drizzt__ | 1: | 17:57 |
| drizzt__ | 1 | 17:57 |
| acicula | lucid is the _development_ version of ubuntu, which will be the next ubuntu | 17:57 |
| VSpike_ | When booting ubuntu server, I get a blank screen unless I use the recovery option. Once booted, modprobe radeonfb gives me a nice high res console. How can I fix that? | 17:57 |
| ysmn2 | rob_p, thanks man | 17:57 |
| grawity | philyaw: No, 'man ps' is to open the manual page of 'ps'. | 17:57 |
| rob_p | ysmn2: welcome | 17:57 |
| philyaw | !ps | 17:57 |
| philyaw | grawity, what is ps? | 17:57 |
| grawity | philyaw: I'll answer this question with "run 'man ps' and you'll know" | 17:58 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I removed the package, but ps ax shows dhclient running. | 17:58 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You aren't running bind9 on it are you? If so, that will conflict with dnsmasq. | 17:58 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Perhaps it's better to just reboot. | 17:58 |
| ardchoille | philyaw: ps - report a snapshot of the current processes | 17:58 |
| philyaw | ardchoille, for the developers? like bug report? | 17:58 |
| rob_p | jMyles: dhclient is just a client process... probably for the WAN interface on your box. | 17:58 |
| ardchoille | philyaw: man ps | 17:58 |
| philyaw | I have another question. | 17:59 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Yes, I am very sorry, I was running bind9, as per the instructions on the ubuntu wiki. I have stopped the process and removed the package, and dnsmasq now restarts successfully. | 17:59 |
| grawity | philyaw: Translated to plain English, it's "ps - display a list of all currently running processes" | 17:59 |
| DasEi | philyaw: no, rob (^above ) told you already the syntax of ps; man shows the manual of a command, just enter man ps in trml to see | 17:59 |
| philyaw | In konquorer or forefox streaming videos don't have sound, yet my sound still works | 17:59 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Cool. Yeah, you won't be needing bind9 now! :-) | 17:59 |
| philyaw | ohhhhhhhhh | 17:59 |
| * grawity is so tempted to say "RTFM" for once. | 18:00 | |

| rob_p | jMyles: dnsmasq is pretty slick. Sorta all-in-one service... well, several in one, I guess. But yeah, it makes life easier. | 18:00 |
| macbook | does anybody have full access to hfs drive read/write | 18:00 |
| gustavokuklinski | :O | 18:01 |
| rob_p | jMyles: So now you need to test it out. Put a client on it and configure the client to obtain a DHCP lease. | 18:01 |
| drizzt__ | I cannot connect to Windows share with correct name/pass, any ideas anyone? | 18:01 |

| grawity | Aled: Only some of them. | 18:06 |
| grawity | Aled: Most viruses these days just spread and send spam and spread and send spam. | 18:06 |

| toshko | Hello good people. I have one question.. How can i make my windows transperent | 18:09 |
| toshko | thanks in advance | 18:09 |
| TheGamer81 | Is this ubuntu support? | 18:09 |
| Pici | philyaw: ps -p filters by the process ids that follow that argument. | 18:09 |
| Pici | TheGamer81: Yes. | 18:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | philyaw, perhaps "ps -A" | 18:09 |
| llutz | philyaw: -p needs pidlist | 18:09 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That's a message regarding your external interface (probably). How does the box get it's IP address and Internet connection? Are you sure it's still plugged into your modem/router? | 18:09 |
| TheGamer81 | Ok because I am having problems with ubuntu locking up. | 18:09 |
| drizzt___ | I now samba is PoS, but how can I troubleshoot my connection probem? | 18:10 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I'm sorry I wasn't clear: I'm getting this message on a client. The server gets its IP address just fine and can connect to the internet. It is plugged directly into a cable modem. | 18:10 |
| TheGamer81 | It locks up after about 5 minutes after boot. | 18:10 |
| philyaw | zykotick9, that worked, but is there a way to get a list sorted in a better way? | 18:10 |
| rob_p | jMyles: I see. | 18:10 |
| suchaprettyboy | I used pppconfig to set up GPRS via mobile cell phone with Bluetooth. 'sudo pon provider-gprs' sets up the connection. But, the Empathy doesn't use such Internet access. | 18:10 |
| suchaprettyboy | Should I run 'sudo empathy' to be able to use my IRC account? | 18:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | philyaw, typically i would use something like "ps -aux | grep WHATI'MLOOKINGFOR" | 18:11 |
| rob_p | jMyles: What address to you have assigned to your "internal" interface? Can you manually configure another host on the network with an address in the same network and ping the server's internal IP? | 18:12 |
| === jon is now known as Guest69478 | ||
| philyaw | why -aux? | 18:12 |
| ssix | philyaw: Options -a -u and -x | 18:12 |
| philyaw | ohh | 18:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | philyaw, habit mainly - but it shows more info (who owns process etc) | 18:12 |
| grawity | 'ps aux' (NOT 'ps -aux') means 'display all processes, including user information, and including processes without ttys" | 18:13 |
| grawity | (The dash before 'aux' is incorrect. I see that way too often...) | 18:13 |
| rob_p | jMyles: It's assumed that you have statically assigned an address within your, "private" local network, to the server's internal interface. | 18:13 |
| philyaw | zykotick9, does the | tell it i'm doing another command right after ps -aux? | 18:13 |
| ssix | grawity: ps aux == ps -aux | 18:13 |
| ssix | !? | 18:13 |
| === Guest69478 is now known as jmhsieh | ||
| grawity | ssix: Not exactly | 18:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | philyaw, yes that's a pipe | 18:13 |
| grawity | ssix: 'ps -aux' displays this: "Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html" | 18:14 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Your network settings will reside in /etc/network/interfaces | 18:14 |
| crashove1ride | PS | 18:14 |
| ssix | grawity: My gnome-terminal displays the same thing as ps aux | 18:14 |
| * grawity facepalms. | 18:14 | |
| philyaw | mine too | 18:14 |
| philyaw | I'm using kDE though | 18:14 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Make sure you've statically assigned an address to the internal interface. | 18:14 |
| grawity | And neither of you thought to scroll up a little? | 18:14 |
| philyaw | How can I start a KATE document from the terminal? | 18:14 |
| grawity | philyaw: kate foo.txt & | 18:14 |
| ssix | grawity: did that just now ^^ that's for having the scrollbar disabled xD | 18:15 |
| aafuentes2 | when i execute some mysql estatment the output is very ugly. Does anybody knows what is this happening? --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/355114/ | 18:15 |
| McL0VIN | question: i have a "DD-WRT" compatible router, and i have DynDNS account that resolve my ip to a domain e.g [hostname.com] . so on my router i have redirect 192.168.1.1(GW address) to port 80 to be able to access router GUI. Now if i installed Apache2 on ubuntu box with ip 192.168.1.101 how can i redirect it!? do i have to change the port that apache listen to?! | 18:15 |
| grawity | ssix: basically, there are two different option sets for ps... if you use the dash, 'ps' thinks you are giving it UNIX-style options. If there's no dash, it's BSD-style. | 18:16 |
| === Biohazard is now known as Bioh | ||
| grawity | ssix: And '-aux' doesn't make much sense then. Actually, this is the very first thing in ps' manpage. | 18:16 |
| drizzt___ | had somewhat experienced with samba here? I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error | 18:16 |
| acicula | aafuentes2: try #mysql? | 18:17 |
| rob_p | McL0VIN: you should probably be accessing your router remotely *only* over HTTPS, which DD-WRT supports. That frees up port 80. | 18:17 |
| shane2peru | !flashplugin | 18:17 |
| aafuentes2 | thanks acicula ^^ | 18:17 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 18:17 |
| McL0VIN | rob_p: how ? it is using port 80 | 18:17 |
| ssix | grawity: never really did read the ps manpage, I'm always ps -e | grepping =/ | 18:17 |
| Ratizar | i cant use external audio devices, headphones and things like that but an any body help me my sound work c | 18:17 |
| suchaprettyboy | Why Empathy do not let me choose between IRC channels. | 18:18 |
| grawity | ssix: ps -e, on the other hand, _is_ correct. (But -ef is more informative.) | 18:18 |
| shane2peru | !flash64 | 18:18 |
| ubottu | You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 18:18 |

| ssix | grawity: smarty pants! =P | 18:18 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 18:18 |
| rob_p | McL0VIN: You need to login to it and configure it to listen on port 443 via the HTTPS service. | 18:18 |
| Ratizar | i cant use external audio devices, headphones and things like that but my sound works can anybody help me | 18:18 |
| acicula | rob_p: disable any http access to the router on the external interface(you almost never want this on anyway) and set up forwarding rules to forward to your ip? | 18:18 |
| wrapster | i have 6G of mem .. but free -m only shows about 4.18G | 18:18 |
| grawity | ssix: That's what happens when I join #ubuntu while in bad mood | 18:18 |
| McL0VIN | rob_p: let me check that out | 18:18 |
| wrapster | Mem + swap = ~4.18G | 18:18 |
| suchaprettyboy | 'sudo pon provider1' And empathy doesn't understand there's an internet access | 18:18 |
| wrapster | hows it possible? | 18:18 |
| grawity | wrapster: 32-bit or 64-bit Linux? | 18:19 |
| philyaw | whats the program called that consolidates your tray icons? | 18:19 |
| wrapster | 32 | 18:19 |
| wrapster | is that the reason? | 18:19 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Sorry man, more customers. Yes the internal address is static, but it's in the 192.168.x.x range | 18:19 |
| rob_p | acicula: Ideally, yes. I certainely wouldn't have my router's config accessible to the world via standard HTTP. | 18:19 |
| grawity | wrapster: 32-bit systems cannot address more than 4 GB of RAM by default -- either you get 64-bit, or you somehow enable a thing called PAE. | 18:19 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That's your problem! | 18:19 |
| wrapster | grawity: 32. is that the reason | 18:19 |
| grawity | Hmm | 18:19 |
| grawity | !pae | 18:19 |
| acicula | rob_p: https doesnt make it any safer | 18:19 |
| ssix | grawity: no info on PAE, huh!? | 18:20 |
| grawity | acicula: It is, when your neighbour discovers tcpdump | 18:20 |
| DasEi | wrapster: you can install server-kernel on 32 bit, coming with pae support by default | 18:20 |
| grawity | !howinthehelldoienablepae | 18:20 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You need to change it to somethign in the 10.0.0.0/24 network (if you subnetted with 255.255.255.0). | 18:20 |
| suchaprettyboy | grawity Help me with empathy which can not use internet started with 'sudo pon provider1' | 18:20 |
| rob_p | acicula: Yes, it does. | 18:20 |
| wrapster | DasEi: which pkg does it belong to? | 18:20 |
| drizzt___ | I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop!! | 18:20 |
| grawity | suchaprettyboy: I don't use Empathy, I don't use pppconfig, I don't know what is "provider1", and I have no idea why are you asking me about it. | 18:21 |
| suchaprettyboy | the name of a provider is not default and i'm not in a 'dip' group and have to run pppd as superuser | 18:21 |
| DasEi | wrapster: pae = physical address extension, it's the server-kernel | 18:21 |
| DasEi | wrapster: synaptic or apt-cache search | 18:21 |
| rob_p | acicula: But I agree that it's not too smart to be configuring your home router over the 'Net unless you have reason to. In that case, I use VPN. | 18:21 |
| jMyles | rob_p: and then the netmask for the internal iface will stay 255.255.255.0 right? and what of the network and broadcast? | 18:21 |
| rob_p | jMyles: yes | 18:21 |

| drizzt___ | àîå | 18:22 |
| acicula | rob_p: it just encrypts your connection, unfortunatly you are more likely to get owned because of poorly implemented software on the router then your neighbour sniffing your password because it was unencrypted(provided thats even possible) | 18:22 |
| acicula | rob_p: yeah forcing authentication via vpn is much safer in that respect | 18:23 |
| Norse_Nemo | 18:23 | |
| rob_p | jMyles: The convention (if there is one) would be to put your gateway box at say, 10.0.0.1 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and make sure your dhcp server hand out IPs starting somewhere above there (like 10.0.0.10 - 10.0.0.254). | 18:23 |

| wrapster | DasEi: yeah | 18:24 |
| wrapster | got the link.. a few pkgs need to be installed... | 18:24 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Is it OK if the gateway is at 10.0.0.46? We are naming the gateway after a professor who recently passed away - she was born in 46. | 18:24 |
| wrapster | DasEi: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ | 18:24 |
| rob_p | acicula: DD-WRT is probably a fairly robust implimentation of the HTTPS protocol though. If I had to rely on it for a short time, I wouldn't have too much heartburn. | 18:24 |
| acicula | rob_p: its not SSL thats the problem | 18:24 |

| jMyles | rob_p: The client now gets an IP, but still cannot see the outside world. | 18:25 |
| viliny | Hey | 18:25 |
| acicula | rob_p: its the webservers serving crappy secured pages to everyone who will connect, http or https ;) | 18:25 |
| zig_ | Would it break? | 18:25 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Yes. Just make sure it's out of the range of addresses that get handed out by the server. | 18:25 |
| DasEi | wrapster: by using one of the mentioned kernels apt wil solve everything needed and aslo update grub | 18:25 |
| wrapster | i would have so gone with the 64bit ubuntu to eliminate all these hassles.. but quite a few pkgs dont seem to work well | 18:25 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Yeah, I figured it needed to be below that range. | 18:25 |
| viliny | im trying to configure my dhcp server on ubuntu but it keeps failing... how can i find out which dhcp.conf file the bloody program is actually using when trying to start? | 18:25 |
| wrapster | DasEi: ok.. thanks | 18:25 |
| rob_p | acicula: I've never had that problem with DD-WRT. | 18:25 |
| acicula | rob_p: well as far as the software stack on router go i suppose DD-WRT probably isnt too bad no | 18:26 |
| DasEi | wrapster: last time I hassled with 64 bit more than 32 was hardy, since then, no probs | 18:26 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Interestingly, I can now ping the gateway from its outside IP address - perhaps there is a dns issue that is preventing the clients from resolving domain names? | 18:26 |
| Aled | How can I get a volume slider icon next to my time on Xubuntu? | 18:26 |
| philyaw | How can I open downloaded packages using KPackage Kit | 18:26 |
| rob_p | acicula: The "stack" is the Linux kernel's networking stack so I hope so! | 18:26 |
| philyaw | From the web, it keeps wanting to use GPackage something | 18:27 |
| enduser000 | Aled: right click on the panel and hit "Add to Panel..." | 18:27 |
| DasEi | Aled: right click bar, add to panel | 18:27 |
| jMyles | rob_p: On the other hand, I can't seem to ping other outside ip addresses | 18:27 |
| rob_p | jMyles: So did you successfully get a DHCP lease on a client, from the server? | 18:27 |
| wrapster | DasEi: but for some reason .. skype wont work.. I could see the quite a few pkg crashed... so had to switch back to 32 | 18:28 |
| wrapster | anyway later I'll give it a try i guess... | 18:28 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Yep! :-) Just need to get to the outside world now. | 18:28 |
| wrapster | with the new ubuntu realease some time | 18:28 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Ok, you're 90% there now! | 18:28 |
| theadmin | What is a command to see system info, if there is any? | 18:28 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You need to configure forwarding in the kernel. | 18:28 |
| DasEi | wrapster: idk, just for fun I set up sype a month ago on a 64 bit vm, no problems at all ( but I followed a guide) | 18:29 |
| jMyles | rob_p: with sysctrl? | 18:29 |
| drizzt___ | I'm trying to connect to WinXP share, but getting invalid password error in the loop... | 18:30 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You can configure it in the sysctl config (for persistancy) but this will immediately allow forwarding: | 18:30 |
| rob_p | echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 18:30 |
| rob_p | jMyles: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 18:30 |

| MenZa | Lartza_: No. | 18:32 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You will need to configure a few forwarding rules, yes. | 18:32 |
| theadmin | MenZa: Uh... why do I need to be root to do that? | 18:32 |
| rob_p | jMyles: But you need to set the forwarding flag in the kernel before it will allow any forwarding. | 18:32 |
| MenZa | theadmin: It needs to read from a couple of places where only root has read permissions. 'lshw' as a user will give you partial results. | 18:32 |
| jMyles | rob_p: OK, well I get permission denied, but the value appears to be 1 anyway. | 18:32 |

| Flare183 | the_real_dave: Ah ok.. Hmmm | 18:42 |
| rob_p | jMyles: ...as in a file that is only accessible/writable by a privileged user (root in this case). | 18:42 |
| wig0 | can you telle me where is the wallpapers's file for ubuntu ? | 18:42 |
| wig0 | tell | 18:42 |
| jMyles | rob_p: OK, that worked. Do I need to restart networking on one or both computers? | 18:42 |

| jMyles | rob_p: ping ubuntu.com still gives unknown host. | 18:43 |
| neezer | jrib: I got an error saying that sharing service is not installed. | 18:43 |
| rob_p | Now you just need some forwarding rules. You will use the iptables tool for it, or you can use one of the many configurators out there. | 18:43 |
| wig0 | on this server ? | 18:43 |

| Ratizar | is there a way to make my computer to act as a wifi modem? | 18:43 |
| neezer | I am logged in via ssh though. | 18:43 |
| rob_p | jMyles: First, can the server box itself ping google.com? | 18:43 |
| jrib | cognitiaclaeves: or do you believe the shell expands it before sending out? Does the command work okay if you expand it yourself? | 18:44 |
| jMyles | rob_p: yes. | 18:44 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Ok. | 18:44 |
| cognitiaclaeves | jrib: I'm printing it out before executing the command. It prints correctly. | 18:44 |
| neezer | and I just used nautilus as the command and the window opens up. | 18:44 |
| rob_p | So, how familiar with iptables are you? | 18:44 |
| wig0 | oops | 18:44 |
| rob_p | jMyles: So, how familiar with iptables are you? | 18:44 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I need to become more familiar. I understand what it is, but I'm not 100% on how it works. | 18:45 |
| Ratizar | is there a way to make my computer to be able to give wifi connection | 18:45 |
| cognitiaclaeves | jrib: Ok. Sadly, I haven't tried to execute it remotely with just the path and not a variable. I'll give that a shot. ( I was thinking there was an issue with the way I did the loop. ) | 18:45 |
| Dravekx | how do I find what groups I am in via ssh on ubuntu server 9.10? | 18:45 |
| llutz | Dravekx: ^login, id | 18:45 |
| magnet | groups | 18:45 |
| Dravekx | just type groups? | 18:46 |
| magnet | yes | 18:46 |
| tooth | just type groups. | 18:46 |
| llutz | or "id" | 18:46 |
| Dravekx | oh cool. | 18:46 |
| tooth | yeah that works too (more info anyway) | 18:46 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Basically, the Linux Kernel uses netfilter for packet filtering/inspection/forwarding. Netfilter is configured via a utility called iptables. It's a very syntax-intensive utility and not extremely, "user-friendly" as I've heard some say... | 18:46 |
| prekitt | anyone using logwatch | 18:46 |
| prekitt | am having a problem where logwatch is not cleaining up the files it uses in the /tmp and is filling up my drive. | 18:47 |
| rob_p | jMyles: But if you don't want to delve into it, there are utilities that can do it for you. Or, just look up some examples. | 18:47 |
| jrib | cognitiaclaeves: how are you determining it's not working by the way? | 18:47 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Oh no, I want to delve :-) | 18:47 |
| trism | cognitiaclaeves: the problem seems to be file in the for is expanded in the shell before you send it to the server | 18:47 |
| === gbutler_ is now known as gbutler | ||
| jMyles | rob_p: If you can just tell me what modifications I need to make and why they work, that will help me understand immensely. | 18:48 |
| trism | cognitiaclaeves: so the for works correctly on the remote host, but ${file} is already expanded, so not how you want it to | 18:48 |
| rob_p | jMyles: It's going to be a couple or three one-liners to get basic NAT up and running. | 18:48 |
| cognitiaclaeves | jrib: The shell is telling me the file can't be found. | 18:48 |
| cognitiaclaeves | trism: Ok, that sounds right. | 18:48 |
| neezer | How can I check my domain name? | 18:48 |

| jrib | marshall: du -s ? | 18:55 |
| jMyles | rob_p: What do each of these do? For the first one - what is the outside IP changes? | 18:55 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That will be the IP address of your external interface on the server | 18:56 |
| cawas | is it possible to run shell scripts from HTTP? | 18:56 |
| cawas | marshall: go with llutz du -sh /dir/* | 18:56 |
| llutz | cawas: wihtou /* | 18:56 |

| bamonde | problem with clickable button in dialog box using eclipse IDE. | 18:57 |
| rob_p | jMyles: The first rule sets up source-NAT. The second one allows forwarding from the internal inteface/network, out the external one (which then the source NAT get's applied). | 18:57 |
| bamonde | someone has this problem?????? | 18:57 |

| Flare183 | soreau: Like my desktop is black. You can't see the icons. But everything else works. | 18:59 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That's why you *really* should have static IP's for your server box. Perhaps you can set up a masq rule that will handle the changing of external IPs better. | 18:59 |
| the_real_dave | soreau: Thank you! :) | 19:00 |
| fromWinToLin | Crap. Still no smooth Flash full screen on Linux. Someone out there must have a tweak that works. | 19:00 |
| rob_p | jMyles: That would go in place of the source NAT rule, as I recall... | 19:00 |
| cawas | so, anyone could give me better keywords to search for "running shell script through HTTP"? :o | 19:00 |
| rob_p | jMyles: You will have to look it up. All my stuff is static IPs so I just use source NAT. | 19:00 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Well a static ip costs $539 from my ISP. :-( | 19:01 |

| fromWinToLin | Nalleman, right-click on the video file > Properties > Open With | 19:05 |

| Flare183 | hwilde: Actually right now I'm using metacity. Not compiz, and if I switch to compiz my desktop goes black. But I can open up the my home folder and I see all my files. No matter what I do with the graphical interface, the desktop remains black | 19:06 |

| rob_p | cawas: I left there in 1993. Long time ago! | 19:07 |
| jMyles | rob_p: I'm sorry, I just ran them from the terminal. | 19:07 |
| soreau | banished: Install compiz-dbg package, enable crash handler in ccsm, then the next time it happens, look in /tmp for a crash log. You can show it in #compiz or file a bug report with it | 19:07 |

| malsyned | fromWinToLin, but that particular issue hasn't been plaguing me until just now. The real issue is the memory leak. I'm not positive it's related to flash, even, but I thought I'd mention it since it's the one non-free component in my browser. | 19:10 |

| Robin77 | can anyone please help me connect ubuntu to a workgroup? I really need help. | 19:15 |
| malsyned | fromWinToLin, Yeah, I'm pretty happy with Firefox. I'd rather not switch browsers if I can avoid it. I didn't know if anyone knew of any things to try to stop the memory leaks. I think I'll try running a copy of FF with Flash disabled and see if it also eats memory or not. | 19:15 |

| rob_p | jMyles: Is the client a Linux box? | 19:16 |
| nameless` | i tried to aptitude search it bu i didn't found it | 19:17 |
| fromWinToLin | malsyned, Swiftfox might not have as much an issue with memory leaks. Not 100% sure. Both of those browsers are compiled differently, and optimized for certain CPUs. Maybe it will help with your memory leak problem. | 19:17 |
| jMyles | rob_p: surely is. | 19:17 |
| malsyned | fromWinToLin, thanks, I'll try it. | 19:17 |

| rob_p | jMyles: Open a command prompt and type, "dig" on the client box. | 19:17 |
| Robin77 | It seems to be as simple as they come, and yet I can't seem to make any progress on the transferring over workgroup stage | 19:18 |

| jMyles | rob_p: connection timed out; no servers could be reached. | 19:18 |
| saji | nameless`, what is this 'tun' module for? | 19:18 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Also, what does, "cat /etc/resolv.conf" from the client box, give you? | 19:18 |

| olvap | hi, any one could give directions about how to use paper clip to upload more than one picture? | 19:21 |
| Dravekx | symlinks? | 19:21 |
| bullgard | llutz: 'man bash' does not even mention 'configuration'. | 19:22 |
| jMyles | rob_p: In fact, pinging margaret.local does not work. Theory: The linksys wrt54gl which sits between the client and the gateway is sticking its nose into the NAT? | 19:22 |
| Robin77 | The link from before suggests that you do the whole workgroup thing to transfer data, this is the stage I can't fathom | 19:22 |
| rob_p | jMyles: On the server box does, "sudo netstat -ulpn" give you an entry like: udp 0 0 10.0.0.46:53 0.0.0.0:* 13050/named | 19:22 |
| saji | nameless`, Try this- http://supware.net/HamachiUbuntuHowto/ | 19:22 |
| Yuri_Harrison | anyone? | 19:22 |
| rob_p | jMyles: ...but it should end with dnsmasq, not named as in my example. | 19:23 |

| mercy | how different could two new installations of 9.10 be that it would work on one but not the other | 19:23 |
| llutz | bullgard: it lists files which are read, depending on invocation. that are the "configfiles" | 19:23 |
| usr13 | Robin77: If your hard drive has failed, it will not be possible. But, if it just will no longer boot and the HD is operational (readable), just mount it and copy the files (My\ Documents or what ever) to a USB drive. | 19:23 |
| nameless` | saji: i guess my kernel is too old :( | 19:23 |
| jMyles | rob_p: No, it doesn't. Strangely, it still lists 192.168.1.40:53 | 19:24 |

| Robin77 | Yeah, using Ubuntu for a CD, you can get access to your hard drive (I did this in around 5 minutes) sorry, windows called it a hdd failure. | 19:24 |
| usr13 | Dravekx: You don't symlink a group, you symlink a directory. | 19:24 |

| rob_p | jMyles: Well, ideally you would run both the server and the clients to a hub or switch. In the absense of one, yes. | 19:26 |
| saji | Yuri_Harrison, I think you have to use the ' update-java-alternatives ' command to set the default Java version to use. | 19:26 |
| usr13 | Dravekx: You are running apache web server, right? | 19:26 |
| rob_p | jMyles: Or, perhaps your NIC will autodetect. Many of the newer ones do these days. | 19:26 |
| jMyles | rob_p: Well I have turned DHCP off on the linksys, and I'm not using the WAN port. In my experience, it acts like a switch in this situation. | 19:26 |
| usr13 | Dravekx: What in /var/www/ are you wanting to share? | 19:26 |

| usr13 | Dravekx: Are you serving webpages via apache from /var/www ? | 19:27 |

| Slart | Bart6114: pdf's usually just store plain text.. and some binary blobs for graphics.. if they aren't scanned images and then you'll have to do OCR to be able to search.. so start off with grep.. see if that works | 19:48 |
| vak | I mean, is the password input invalidated after the certain time within the same command line invocation? | 19:48 |

| Jarxes | yes, but the other (WinXp) is on different HDD | 20:18 |
| Maximo | <ardchoille> so just do livecd on top on the Karmic 9:10...and let it be it | 20:18 |

| Guest33279 | hi | 20:19 |
| ardchoille | Maximo: If you want a fresh, clean install, that will do it. But backup all of your personal stuff first. | 20:19 |
| Jarxes | gce_ yes, but the other (WinXp) is on different HDD | 20:19 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: I suggest booting off of a live cd and manually clearing out the first 512 bytes of the drive which clears the boot mbr | 20:19 |
| hwilde | tpassive, in other words, when plugged in, you don't want it to scale back your power, thus it is at hte lowest setting ? | 20:19 |

| Jarxes | gce_ how to do it? | 20:20 |
| ardchoille | Maximo: yw | 20:20 |
| tpassive | hwilde: what happens is that when disconnecting, it (correctly) sets max_freq to 1GHz. when reconnecting network power, it should get back to 2.17GHz, but soemthing puts it back to 1GHz immediately | 20:20 |

However, I have the passphrase saved to a text file and I normally copy and paste it. The gnome dialog doesn't let me copy and paste. How can I get around this? | 20:21 |
| guntbert | trupheenix: ok - I never bother | 20:21 |
| hwilde | tpassive, /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages or /var/log/acpi should give you some hint as to who is doing this behavior. or dmesg | 20:22 |

| uatschitchun | hi there | 20:22 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: if you're using the bios to chose the boot drive then you can safely do something like the following: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<linux drive> bs=512 count=1 Warning that will erase the boot mbr of the drive | 20:22 |
| === phlmike is now known as phillymike | ||
| tpassive | hwilde: already tried that.. nothing useful | 20:22 |
| jbwiv | maverick, that's the odd thing...there is no /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 20:22 |

| master_ | yes | 20:24 |
| Schiz0 | i'll try that usr13 | 20:24 |
| Schiz0 | thanks | 20:24 |
| tpassive | Schiz0: if you have saved the key passwords in a file, why not disable the passwords at all? it's not safe anyhow ;) | 20:24 |
| Schiz0 | tpassive: they're on a truecrypted partition | 20:24 |
| Schiz0 | (of which the password for is memorized) | 20:24 |
| usr13 | Schiz0: What protocol are you using? vnc? | 20:24 |
| andares | hey, how do i check whether composite is enabled? | 20:24 |
| maverick | jbwiv: thats odd..AFAIK, its a grub problem.. | 20:24 |
| Schiz0 | usr13: I'm running ssh in a terminal | 20:25 |
| jbwiv | maverick, so there *should* be a grub.cfg. Is there a way to generate it? | 20:25 |
| andares | it's neither implicitly enbled or disabled in xorg.conf | 20:25 |
| maverick | jbwiv: thats what im trying to figure out | 20:25 |
| usr13 | Schiz0: Shift-middle-mouse-button | 20:25 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: that will clear grub out of the boot mbr of the linux drive. reinstall linux to that drive. when you reboot and chose the linux drive to boot from within the bios it should come up | 20:25 |
| Jarxes | gce_: is it safe? I have extremely precious data on this drive in my /home directory which I cannot access from LiveCD since it is encrypted. I can't afford loosing the data! | 20:25 |
| andares | anyone? | 20:26 |
| andares | Jarxes: always back up everything. | 20:26 |
| waht2 | would you say ubuntu may be one of the greatest distros of all time? | 20:26 |
| ardchoille | waht2: Indeed | 20:26 |
| andares | *grumbles* | 20:26 |
| maverick | jbwiv: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354475 there you go..this should solve your troubles | 20:26 |
| guntbert | Jarxes: but you *can* access encrypted homedirectories from live CD | 20:27 |
| mcnellis | I installed ubutu 9.10 to my new eeepc 1200 and when I run aptitude safe-upgrade I'm getting a similar error to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008887 but the advice to stop system-backend-tools wasn't helpful that i could see b/c i didn't see it running when I used ps | aux | grep system-tools | 20:27 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: dd is dangerous if you typo it. I suggest mounting the disk while you're running under the live cd and copying everyting off | 20:27 |
| Jarxes | gce_: I do, but this happened just before I backuped it | 20:27 |
| andares | how do you tell whether composite is enabled? | 20:27 |
| jbwiv | maverick, let me look | 20:27 |
| andares | gce_: not to mention dd is excruciatingly slow. | 20:27 |
| mcnellis | when i run sudo dpkg --configure -a the command just runs but there's no output | 20:28 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/<encrypted_partion> part_unc | 20:28 |
| Jarxes | gce_: how can I access encrypted /home directory? | 20:28 |
| maverick | jbwiv: im sorry thats not relating to our problem | 20:28 |
| turbanoff | hi all. is it possible to set the priority of a process to access the network (the Internet)? | 20:28 |
| andares | is composite enabled by default somehow? | 20:28 |
| jbwiv | maverick, ah, k. I was a bit confused ;-) | 20:28 |
| Jarxes | gce_: IC | 20:28 |
| ^kleanchap | What tools do I need to have webcam activated and use Skype? | 20:28 |
| gce_ | andares: with the above dd I'm just zeroing out the first 512 bytes which erases the mbr and partition table. | 20:28 |
| jrib | nascentmind: huh? | 20:29 |
| guntbert | Jarxes: see the following article: http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7568/1.html | 20:29 |
| andares | gce_: ah | 20:29 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: do not run the dd until you have backed up as it wipes out your mbr and partition table. | 20:29 |
| jbwiv | maverick, here are the contents of my grub directory | 20:29 |

| Duzchip | Hi, my friend is trying to install ubuntu and he tried to boot from a few diffrent cd's but all he gets is the boot-promt. it runs the syslinux from the cd and then he gets a black screen with boot: | 20:30 |
| Duzchip | Can he type something there to boot up the installer? | 20:30 |
| nascentmind | jrib, the user in the admin group. so he should atleast be able to see the system groups right? | 20:30 |
| ardchoille | Duzchip: iirc, the installer is ubiquity | 20:30 |
| maverick | jbwiv: im out of ideas...googling to find a solution now.. | 20:30 |
| jbwiv | maverick, yeah, same here...thanks mate ;) | 20:31 |
| maverick | jbwiv: meanwhile, ask your question again in here, maybe someone else can help you.. | 20:31 |
| Duzchip | ardchoille: which means? | 20:31 |
| jbwiv | Guys, I ran and apt-get dist-upgrade on my Karmic system today. Now, on boot, I get no grub prompt. I just get "error: you need to load the kernel first. Failed to boot default entires. Press any key to continue" over and over. I booted up in an (older jaunty) rescue cd, mounted the boot partition on /boot, ran grub-update, and it found the kernels just fine. But on reboot, same error. Can anyone help? I'm at a loss | 20:31 |
| the_real_dave | Duzchip: is his computer powerful enough to run Ubuntu? Is the CD burned correctly? | 20:31 |
| andares | composite anyone? | 20:31 |
| ardchoille | Duzchip: <Duzchip> Can he type something there to boot up the installer? | 20:31 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: if you attempted to reinstall earlier .... you may have wiped the partition. otherwise you should be able access it via the live cd. do an fdisk -l /dev/<linux drive> | 20:31 |
| ardchoille | Duzchip: ubiquity is the installer | 20:31 |
| jrib | nascentmind: shouldn't really matter. If it's not showing them to you, it's because that's how the program is written. It provides a checklist for some like (admin etc.) | 20:31 |
| CoRot | hi | 20:32 |
| Duzchip | ardchoille: so he just have to type ubiquity? | 20:32 |

| Duzchip | ardchoille: it just says "Could not find kernel image" | 20:33 |
| Duzchip | its the grub boot prompt | 20:33 |
| maverick | jbwiv: But I finally fixed the problem - I moved all of the files in the /boot directory that ended in "-16-generic" to a temporary directory, and then copied them back. I then ran update-grub, followed by grub-install /dev/sda. I can now boot into the new 2.6.31-16 kernel. from http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8531475.. | 20:33 |

| nascentmind | jrib, if a developer wants to edit html files in /var/www i would prefer all the files are owned by www-data and the user be in www-data group. | 20:34 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: hmmm i wonder if that partition has not been nuked already. try sudo cryptsetup isLuks /dev/sdb5 && echo "is luks" | 20:34 |
| jrib | nascentmind: that's really not best-practice, you want www-data to only be able to write where apache really *needs* to | 20:34 |
| Jarxes | gce_: when I try to install GRUB2 on this drive it says: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --recheck -f --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb5 | 20:34 |
| Jarxes | grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /mnt/boot/grub. | 20:34 |

| oCean_ | Duzchip: where did you download the images, and did you verify checksum? | 20:34 |
| SciRuoWa | ^kleanchap, google skype and download the appropriate version, and open it with package installer. | 20:35 |
| nascentmind | jrib, i didn't get you. what do you mean by "write where apache really needs to"? | 20:36 |
| SciRuoWa | also, hi | 20:36 |
| gidna | My integrated webcam doesn't work with camorama | 20:36 |
| jrib | nascentmind: apache runs as www-data. If you give www-data write permissions, then apache can write to the file | 20:36 |
| Jarxes | gce_: I tried and it didn't give me any result. nada | 20:37 |
| gidna | What have I to do to let the cam work? | 20:37 |
| ^kleanchap | SciRuoWa, Thnx. I thought it was available thru the repository. | 20:38 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: if the partition was encrypted it should have printed out is Luks so it may have been destroyed when you tried to reinstall previously :-( | 20:38 |
| jrib | nascentmind: you should create some other group like "www-editors", add your users to that, and use that instead. If you have a file that you need apache to be able to write to (e.g. a wiki), then let www-data have permission | 20:38 |
| maverick | jbwiv: how's it going? | 20:38 |
| nascentmind | jrib, ok so i would just put the files in /var/www give read permissions in /var/www add the user to www-data. is that fine? the user does dev of pages in his own directory. | 20:38 |
| Jarxes | gce_: I can mount this partition though and access it | 20:38 |
| mcnellis | how can i bring up the grub menu when i boot up? it usually just goes straight to ubuntu | 20:38 |
| nascentmind | jrib, yes i have a wiki too. | 20:38 |
| jrib | nascentmind: you're missing the point | 20:38 |
| theMalloc | can anyone help me getting gnome-do to run together with pidgin? I get the following message when I try to start gnome-do : http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m554c1e1c | 20:39 |
| jrib | nascentmind: you don't want apache to be able to write to randompage.html because there's no reason for it to ever do so | 20:39 |
| gce_ | Jarxes: when you did the encryption did you encrypt the entire partition or just the home directory ? | 20:39 |
| jbwiv | maverick, well, not so good, but better | 20:39 |
| Jarxes | gce_: as I said, the partition isn't encrypted, only /home dir is. | 20:39 |
| guntbert | mcnellis: <shift> or <esc> during the boot process | 20:39 |
| strywgr | how to change any icon in ubuntu? | 20:39 |

| undecim | meowbuntu: Well, I'm not sure. I do know that most applications have to decide between Pulse, ALSA, and OSS on their own, but I think that Pulse mixes ALSA from several programs at once when it's running. Sound isn't my specialty though, so I could be entirely wrong. If you want to see if Pulse is running, type "pgrep pulseaudio" into a terminal, and if it outputs a number, that means that Pulse is running. | 21:41 |

| ShazbotMcMurder | meowbuntu, what distro are you using? | 21:45 |
| Dravekx | gkahla, im still confused. | 21:45 |
| powertool08 | Dravekx: Are you using the free version of dyndns? | 21:45 |
| Dravekx | oh HA! I forgot to install that. lol | 21:46 |
| Dravekx | yes | 21:46 |
| jrib | meowbuntu: why are you using quicktime in wine? | 21:46 |

| gkahla | what did you find, Dravekx? | 21:46 |
| meowbuntu | is there a way to crash a wine application that hangs up in ubuntu | 21:47 |
| powertool08 | Dravekx: How did you get it to direct to dravekx.com and not dravekx.dyndns.org? Or are you paying for a domain through a registrar too? | 21:47 |
| Dravekx | gkahla, is ubuntu server 9.10 | 21:47 |

| komputes | person: keep in mind that you need to be very careful in selecting the drive to use in usb-creator. Otherwise it can and will wipe the whole drive. Luckily it just shows usb drives. so to be safe, only have the usb drive you want to format inserted when using usb creator - just a tip ;) | 21:47 |

| aztek[tum] | if i want to mount my homedir from NFS on my fileserver, do i need login on the fileserver for each user | 21:48 |
| powertool08 | Dravekx: Ok, just curious. How much is it? per month? per year? | 21:48 |
| Dravekx | powertool08, about $30-40 if that. | 21:48 |

| powertool08 | Dravekx: I'm looking at launching a site sometime in the future. Thanks for the info :) | 21:49 |
| m0ar | undecim: They are the same. I use statical internal IP and openDNS | 21:49 |
| Dravekx | my question is.. how is dyndns still working if its not installed? lol | 21:49 |
| undecim | Are you sure that the gateway's IP address is correct? | 21:50 |
| powertool08 | Dravekx: Luck? I think ddclient is the package to update it. | 21:50 |

| ubottu | lysek: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:00 |

| jbwiv | guys, so I hosed my Karmic system today with apt-get dist-upgrade. It won't boot...acts like grub isn't installed. I can boot with a Jaunty live cd and run update-grub and grub-install, and this works. I can then boot to the grub menu, edit the paths to the kernel, and boot fine. However, one I boot, if I run update-grub and grub-install and shutdown, the problem is back again ("You must load a kernel first. Failed to boot default entries"). So I downloade | 22:03 |
| jbwiv | d the Karmic live cd and booted it, ran update-grub, and get "grub-probe:error: cannot find a device for /." I'm losing my mind. help! | 22:03 |

| undecim | lysek: I think you may have resized your windows partiton during the install. If you use the Ubuntu livecd, you should be able to use the program "gparted" to resize both partitions to the size you want. | 22:07 |
| mmvx | lysek you can install gparted if you want a gui look at the partitions on your drive | 22:07 |

| JackTIM | meowbuntu: there is also play on linux now or something like that... but all it is is another frontend for wine... and ShazbotMcMurder has been suggesting cedega. | 22:08 |
| Viking667 | hm. Crap. | 22:08 |
| ShazbotMcMurder | x_link, go to system>software sources> and enable multiverse and universe if they're not already | 22:08 |
| mmvx | lysek the installer, if left to its own devices, tends to resize the largest partition available. It does ask first though.... | 22:08 |
| Viking667 | Looks like I won't be able to do what I want... | 22:09 |
| ShazbotMcMurder | neh, dontzap is on main | 22:09 |

| ae86-drifter | mmvx, ones running 9.04(client) and the other 9.10 server edition | 22:14 |
| mmvx | lysek the installer actually asks you to choose where it will install ubuntu | 22:14 |
| x_link | ShazbotMcMurder: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> then press "layout options" | 22:14 |
| npope | dandart: are you trying to ping eth0 from wlan0? | 22:14 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter what do you mean you forwarded port 22? Is there a nat router in between? | 22:15 |
| minimec | m0ar: My question goes in this direction. Could it be a problem with the nameservers? | 22:15 |
| x_link | ShazbotMcMurder: There is someting called "Key Sequence" | 22:15 |
| dandart | npope: no, I'm trying to ping 1.1.1.1 from wlan0 , it is set as 1.1.7.3/16 | 22:15 |
| ae86-drifter | mmvx, its over WAN | 22:15 |
| m0ar | minimec: Idk really. The resolv.conf is wiped clean, I tried to set my openDNS-server in nm-applet, but resolv is still empty. | 22:15 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter so what is doing the forwarding/ | 22:15 |
| npope | dandart: what is your source ip when you ping it? | 22:15 |
| dandart | npope: I am 1.1.7.3 and I try to ping 1.1.1.1 | 22:16 |

| dandart | npope: No, it's the same. My wlan0 is 1.1.7.3 netmask 255.255.0.0 | 22:17 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter so the ssh server responds on 4022 and is behind a router? and the client goes straight out on the net? | 22:17 |
| npope | dandart: oh i see /16 | 22:17 |
| ae86-drifter | mmvx, yes thats correct | 22:18 |
| npope | dandart: what is 1.1.1.1? your local router? | 22:18 |
| ShazbotMcMurder | dandart, if your wlan0 is 1.1.7.3 shouldn't you netmask be 255.0.0.0 | 22:18 |
| dandart | npope: 1.1.1.1 is the router of wlan0 yes | 22:18 |
| minimec | m0ar: Ok. there should be an entry like nameserver 192.168.1.1 (I use my router as nameserver, which is probably default, if you do nothing. | 22:18 |
| ae86-drifter | mmvx, no, sorry my ROUTER listens on port 4022 and then forwards it to port 22 on my server in my LAN | 22:18 |

| ae86-drifter | mmvx it seems to ping fine, evg about 18ms so far | 22:26 |
| dandart | npope: yes! I dhclient'd wlan0 then eth0 (because it broke routing) | 22:26 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter and is it possible for you to ping the client from the server? | 22:27 |
| Jonny0stars | Im pretty sure its all correct but I don't know why else It would just sit at "Ext3 FS on sda1, internal journal" all day | 22:27 |

| ae86-drifter | mmvx, that 2nd line is one out of about 40 pings | 22:27 |
| Slart | allison_: ok.. so the root drive is sda2 .. where is /home located? | 22:28 |
| allison_ | *separate | 22:28 |
| dandart | npope: That seems wrong... | 22:28 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter you mean it's out of sequence? | 22:28 |
| npope | dandart: haha thats your problem... | 22:28 |
| ae86-drifter | mmvx, the only way i could do that is if i ssh into the server and ping my client from ssh, and yes, the 2nd line i pasted there was out of sequence | 22:28 |
| PEPPINO | im download vlc-1.0.4.tar.bz2 and unzipped it. My question is: where i can find the list of libs requested inside the package? | 22:29 |
| npope | dandart: 1.1.1.1 is one of the DNS root servers. which is found on eth0 your default gateway. so it always sends it out that interface instead of wlan0 | 22:29 |
| allison_ | Slart : i don't know, how to check it? | 22:29 |
| Jarxes | Hi there. Is there any GRUB2 expert around willing to help one absolutely frustrated at this point user? | 22:29 |
| Jonny0stars | anyone? | 22:29 |
| npope | dandart: you need to readdress your internal network to private IP space RFC1918 | 22:29 |
| Slart | allison_: if you're using a live cd you should be able to look at the drives in the computer.. try going to the places menu and see what you can see | 22:29 |
| dandart | npope: That explains a lot. OK thanks. Strange how everyone else can do it too... | 22:30 |
| mmvx | ae86-drifter yes ping from ssh, you could direct it into a file if you think it'll boot you out, and scp it over for inspection after logging in again | 22:30 |

| Slart | allison_: ok.. so I'm guessing sda1 for root and sda2 for /home .. does that sound correct? | 22:33 |

| Slart | allison_: sorry.. small change http://paste.ubuntu.com/355219/ | 22:40 |
| mmvx | kevstiles4 you can let 9.10 try to choose the best by renaming your xorg.conf, if one exists, but you may have a tool installed already that lets you alter the display resolution - it depends which driver you are using | 22:40 |

| npope | dandart: man this is hard to troubleshoot. | 22:42 |

I get an error: grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /mnt/boot/grub, and before you ask, yes I tried to install GRUB2 on the right partition, and yes it is set as "boot", and yes it does have the directories the grub-install is refusing to find. | 22:42 |

| Simon1245 | captainIan, Do I have to do something or will it work? | 23:12 |
| Simon1245 | I will put out the wire and try | 23:13 |
| captainIan | Simon1245: Other than knowing the name and password of the network you're trying to connect to, you shouldn't have problems | 23:13 |
| Gladiak | i've a problem with a Realtek ALC269 audio chipset, if i select the speaker output and insert the headphone jack i continue to listen audio from speakers. Do you have a solution ? :( | 23:13 |
| captainIan | Simon1245: leave the wire connected untill you know if it's working- maybe? | 23:13 |
| Jarxes | undecim: yeah, I think I'll have to restart LiveCD onw and try your suggestions. | 23:13 |

| lwieise87 | can anyone tell me why cheats (gameshark, action replay) aren't available in VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0? | 23:14 |
| yogesh | hello, I am new to linux. Can someone recommend a good office suite. | 23:14 |
| mezquitale | Gladiak, that is a known bug, you can find the answer either in the forum or in launchpad | 23:14 |
| kinja-sheep | yogesh: OpenOffice. Abiword. | 23:14 |
| Gladiak | ty | 23:14 |
| SaEeDIRHA | hi guys, do you know any other iPod manager for ubuntu other than gtkpod ? because gtkpod crashes when i try to copy files from my ipod to my system ! | 23:14 |
| SaEeDIRHA | :( | 23:14 |
| mezquitale | lwieise87, this is ubuntu official support, what is wrong with your ubuntu distribution? | 23:15 |
| yogesh | kinja-sheep: thank you. How do I install open-office? | 23:15 |
| PEPPINO | where i can fin minizip package for karmic? | 23:15 |
| Allison_ | Slart : rebooting now. be right back | 23:15 |
| kinja-sheep | yogesh: It should be under Applications --> Office (if you're using Gnome). | 23:15 |
| captainIan | ugh... | 23:15 |
| forceflow | SaEeDIRHA: Rhythmbox | 23:15 |
| SaEeDIRHA | ? | 23:15 |
| mezquitale | SaEeDIRHA, have you tried using amarok ? | 23:15 |
| SaEeDIRHA | forceflow: that is not manager , that is only player | 23:15 |
| yogesh | kinja-sheep: I couldnt find it. Is there a way to download it online? | 23:16 |
| lwieise87 | mezquitale what is wrong with yogesh's ability to google? | 23:16 |
| SaEeDIRHA | yeah , but i dont know how to load ipod files on amarok :( | 23:16 |
| mezquitale | SaEeDIRHA, presumably rhythmplayer can also manage your playlists, just like amarok can | 23:16 |
| mezquitale | **rhythmbox*** I mean | 23:16 |
| Simon1245 | Didn't work :( | 23:16 |
| vcp | Hi there. What's the easiest way to figure out what wireless drivers I'm using from the command line? | 23:16 |
| captainIan | Simon1245: which didnt work? | 23:17 |
| mezquitale | !google | lwieise87 | 23:17 |
| ubottu | lwieise87: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 23:17 |
| kinja-sheep | yogesh: If you're new, I'd recommend you to use Ubuntu Software Center or sypathic (under System --> Admin). Search for "openoffice" | 23:17 |
| SaEeDIRHA | well i want to copy files from/to my ipod from my system not just play them through my ipod | 23:17 |
| yogesh | kinja-sheep: thank you again. | 23:18 |
| Gladiak | ok no solutions yet :( | 23:18 |

| luckyone | howdy - anyone in here know much about nvidia 8100? | 23:18 |
| Zaehlas | Hello, I have an unusual error. I just bought a new hard drive for my other workstation, and reinstalled i386 Ubuntu 9.10 desktop on it. The live CD worked fine, and the install went well, but when I rebooted, it marked the new hard drive as read only, even though it wasn't since it did the install, and the filesystem is there. Anyone have an idea why? | 23:18 |
| luckyone | I am wondering if I can connect my vga -> component input on my TV | 23:18 |
| Zaehlas | So it boots to a prompt, since gnome pops up an error that it can't write to home directoy. | 23:18 |
| luckyone | can the 8100 drive the YPrPb input? | 23:18 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: Does the home directory exist? | 23:19 |
| mezquitale | SaEeDIRHA, amarok will allow you to "manage" your song library, as in copy files from/to your ipod from/to your ubuntu machine, apparently rhythmbox can do that as well though I have never tried it,I have tried it and knows it works with amarok, that is the only reason i would ever use amarok again | 23:19 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: I had that happen once, where the user home dir wasn't created | 23:19 |
| Zaehlas | captainIan: yes. when I log in with the main account, nit's right at the home directory. but I can't do any commands that involve writing to the drive, including sudo apt-get update, etc. all error out | 23:19 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: make sure the drive had no errors (fsck) and check fstab | 23:20 |
| SaEeDIRHA | thanks mezquitale, i am going to google it now to see how to use it | 23:20 |
| SaEeDIRHA | if any question left i will come back | 23:20 |
| Zaehlas | captainIan: On my second boot it performed an automatic file check, since the ext4 was marked as dirty for some reason. I'll check the fstab, but not sure if I'll get anything from fsck | 23:21 |
| Zaehlas | captainIan: afk a few minutes to check those. thanks. | 23:21 |
| Babyshambles | Slart, hey it's me allison. it's ok now. thank you, really appreciate your help. | 23:21 |
| Slart | Babyshambles: you're welcome | 23:22 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: I bet it was marked as dirty before... | 23:22 |
| cdog69 | curious on some hardware, i have an old emachine that is using a 250W power supply, is that upgradable at all, for instance, i dont see any 250W power supplys at my local store, but there are plenty of 400W and 500W ones, are they ok to upgrade to? | 23:22 |
| ophiel | so after upgrading to Karmic Koala i noticed a black desktop background and i can not create any icons, any suggestions? | 23:22 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: if fstab has it mounting as read only... that's why I suggested | 23:22 |
| ophiel | i found a post on the web and they suggested killing nautilus, which i did but it still didn't work | 23:22 |
| sunraider3 | Would somebody please help me with installation of libraries/wine? | 23:23 |
| jrib | ophiel: you don't kill nautilus, you restart it | 23:23 |
| captainIan | does anyone have any experiece upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10? What should I be warry of? | 23:23 |
| mezquitale | !anyone| sunraider3 | 23:23 |
| ubottu | sunraider3: 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? | 23:23 |
| jrib | sunraider3: just ask your actual question | 23:23 |
| ophiel | i did restart it | 23:23 |
| forceflow | captainIan: have you got lots of customizations? | 23:23 |
| forceflow | captainIan: (non-standard packages, software you compiled yourself, ...) | 23:23 |
| captainIan | forceflow: no, it's a fresh install AFIK... from netbook | 23:23 |
| jrib | !who | ophiel | 23:24 |
| ubottu | ophiel: 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 :) | 23:24 |
| forceflow | captainIan: I upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 fine on my netbook | 23:24 |
| jrib | ophiel: repeat the procedure but start nautilus from a terminal | 23:24 |
| mezquitale | captainIan, just try it and see what happens, back up your data just in case, the known issue i know about is pulseaudio | 23:24 |
| captainIan | were you using a customized dist or ubuntu eee/easypeasy | 23:24 |
| captainIan | forceflow: were you using a customized dist or ubuntu eee/easypeasy | 23:24 |
| sunraider3 | well its not as much a question as a lack of knowledge on my part, i need a walkthrough with installation, i have tried multiple times but i always end up failing | 23:24 |
| ophiel | jrib: from a terminal i tried killall nautilus then nautilus & | 23:24 |
| forceflow | captainIan: just ubuntu netbook remix | 23:24 |
| jrib | ophiel: was there output? | 23:24 |
| forceflow | captainIan: which is just ubuntu with less packages :) | 23:25 |
| jrib | ophiel: you kept the terminal open right? | 23:25 |
| captainIan | forceflow: how different is it from eeebuntu? | 23:25 |
| ophiel | jrib: yes after nautilus restarted i got a bunch of data redirected to it | 23:25 |
| jrib | ophiel: pastebin | 23:25 |
| forceflow | captainIan: can't tell. As far as I know, eeebuntu relies on scripts heavily to get stuff done. On ubuntu 9.10 most of the eee functionality works out of the box on my machine (1005HA) | 23:25 |
| ophiel | jrib: i can't do that from here, i'm on my brothers windows box ... | 23:25 |
| captainIan | forceflow: which I realized after answering your initial q's, is what is on here | 23:25 |
| ophiel | jrib: i'll have to go home later and get it | 23:25 |
| jrib | ophiel: k | 23:25 |
| captainIan | forceflow: OOTB is why I'm doing it... | 23:26 |
| ophiel | jrib: but restarting nautilus should work i suppose from what you're saying? | 23:26 |
| forceflow | captainIan: don't know how it works for eeebuntu | 23:26 |
| forceflow | captainIan: don't know you can upgrade from eeebuntu -> karmic 9.10 | 23:26 |
| captainIan | forceflow: we shal see soon! | 23:26 |
| forceflow | captainIan: good luck. Sorry, but I don't know a lot about eeebuntu. It's not an official ubuntu derivative, so I don't know how it organises things :) | 23:26 |
| Jarxes | undecim: thanks mate, I think I succeed to install grub on sdb. Now it's time to check if it works. A Big kudos to you if it does! | 23:27 |
| captainIan | forceflow: i'm only doing it because ubuntu studion iso wouldnt install... it kept peeing on my shoes | 23:27 |
| undecim | Jarxes: No problem :) | 23:27 |
| forceflow | captainIan: hehe :) | 23:27 |
| forceflow | captainIan: well, ubuntu studio isn't an official derivate either :) | 23:27 |
| captainIan | and I can't, for the life of me, figure out how the hell to get the wifi working | 23:27 |
| jrib | ophiel: well nautilus is what handles drawing the wallpaper, the icons, and handling right clicks on the desktop. When you run it as « nautilus & » it will die if you close the terminal. Instead use « nautilus & disown ». If it still doesn't work and the output provides no hints, I would see if compiz is to blame by disabling compiz temporarily | 23:27 |
| Richturd | Does anyone know how to use Netbook Remix? | 23:27 |
| captainIan | forceflow: it's official enough | 23:27 |
| forceflow | Richturd: me | 23:27 |
| captainIan | :) | 23:27 |
| forceflow | it's just like regular ubuntu ... | 23:27 |
| captainIan | Richturd: what's your main questions? | 23:28 |
| Richturd | forceflow, I can't seem to get my wireless card to work | 23:28 |
| Richturd | captainIan my wireless card doesnt work | 23:28 |
| forceflow | Richturd: which version of UNR are you running, and on what hardware? | 23:28 |
| captainIan | Richturd: what is your wireless card? | 23:28 |
| ophiel | jrib: ok thanks for the info... i'll try this later when i get back home | 23:28 |
| sunraider3 | well since nobody is answering i will explain my issues. so my linux comp has no internet accsess i need to transfer neccessary files with a usb. ive been trying to install wine but it says it needs Gnu m4 1.4, which in turn asks me for Flex. so i try to install flex and it seems like it ran through the install perfectly but when i try and install Gnu M4 it says i still need it. | 23:28 |
| Richturd | hang on please | 23:28 |
| forceflow | the wifi card in my Asus eeepc 1005HA works out of the box on UNR 9.10 | 23:28 |
| captainIan | Richturd: or, what's your netbook? | 23:29 |
| Richturd | my netbook is an eeepc 701, captainian | 23:29 |
| captainIan | Richturd: my 1000he worked pretty much right away, as well | 23:29 |
| captainIan | Richturd: it's the ra2860 | 23:29 |
| forceflow | we have ath9k chips, so that explains | 23:29 |
| captainIan | Richturd: your wifi should be good... | 23:30 |
| neezer | is there a way to list all of my .wma files in subdirecotries? I tried ls -R *.wma, but it is telling me there is no such file or directory. | 23:30 |
| Richturd | Yeah it works now! | 23:30 |
| captainIan | Richturd: what version are you trying to run? | 23:30 |
| Richturd | thanks captainian | 23:30 |
| Richturd | I dunno, netbook remix... | 23:30 |
| forceflow | the latest? 9.10 that is | 23:30 |
| Richturd | how do I find out what version it is? | 23:30 |
| captainIan | Richturd: no problem? (not sure what I did...) but I am glad to have helped | 23:30 |
| jrib | neezer: ls **/*.wma | 23:30 |
| captainIan | forceflow: Do you know a quick way to check the dist/version of the system? | 23:31 |
| jrib | neezer: or, more traditionally: find -name '*.wma' | 23:31 |
| captainIan | cause i'm drawing a massive caffeine-lacking blank | 23:31 |
| forceflow | captainIan: uname -a ? | 23:31 |
| Daughain | Does tftp have issues connecting to a windows box? | 23:31 |
| undecim | sunraider3: welcome to dependency hell. This is what package managers were designed to prevent, but since you don't have internet access, you cant use the default package manager. But never fear: have a look at http://keryxproject.org/, which will allow you to download all the packages you need all at once, then install them on the offline computer all at once. | 23:31 |
| ae86-drifter | forceflow, i have ath9k chip and had to downgrade from the latest kernel | 23:31 |
| === cordellcameron is now known as DBCOOPA | ||
| luks__ | Daughain: nope i dont think so | 23:31 |
| forceflow | ae86-drifter: als on a eepc 1005HA ? | 23:32 |
| captainIan | forceflow: wow... i feel... new... | 23:32 |
| Richturd | Okay I got another problem | 23:32 |
| neezer | ok. | 23:32 |
| Daughain | luks__: OK, O so I have something else going on.... | 23:32 |
| neezer | thanks jrib | 23:32 |
| captainIan | Richturd: what it be? | 23:32 |
| forceflow | captainIan: you're welcome :) | 23:32 |
| Richturd | I cannot seem to use my built in webcam, captainIan | 23:32 |
| ae86-drifter | forceflow, nah its on an acer laptop, it kept dropping out every 10 mins or so, downgraded firmware and my signal strength multiplied by 5 | 23:32 |
| forceflow | Richturd: it might be disabled with a keyboard shortcut | 23:32 |
| ae86-drifter | i mean downgraded kernel, not firmware LOL | 23:33 |
| e-squizo | does anyone around here know which program is responsible for launching, say, rythmbox when an USB drive with music in it gets inserted, or f-spot when a card with images goes online? | 23:33 |
| dibs | to use the mail command do I install mail utils? | 23:33 |
| forceflow | Richturd: check "rfkill list" | 23:33 |
| forceflow | e-squizo: think that's nautilus | 23:33 |
| neezer | I am getting an error when trying to playback some of my music on mediatomb. | 23:33 |
| Richturd | Where is that, Forceflow? | 23:33 |
| captainIan | Richturd: Please don't take what I'm about to say as rude, but it may seem as such... have you checked the wiki? the webcam, wifi, trackpad, and several other "fun" things are quite well documented | 23:33 |
| e-squizo | even better: anyone knows how to extende that functionality? | 23:33 |
| forceflow | Richturd: you have to type it in console. And indeed, check the wiki :) | 23:33 |
| e-squizo | forceflow: I was coming to that conclusion myself | 23:33 |
| captainIan | ae86-drifter: are you sure thats an ath chipset? | 23:34 |
| Daughain | Ok, when using bootp and tftp to do a remote install, do I need a wrapper to get tftp to run? | 23:34 |
| e-squizo | but what is the mechanism? | 23:34 |
| forceflow | e-squizo: don't know, sorry :s | 23:34 |
| Pici | dibs: the default mail command is provided by the bsd-mailx package | 23:34 |
| e-squizo | say, I have an app I want launched when a pendrive with a certain signature gets launched... | 23:34 |
| neezer | I have a server set up and am running it through the ps3. In one of my files i have some .wma, and .mp3 files. and mediatomb is saying "unsupported data" for all of the files in the folder, but I know that my other .wma files and .mp3 files work. | 23:34 |
| Zaehlas | captainIan: OK, back. I think i have it up right now, or I hope it will stay up. I had to reboot *4* times, running fsck each time till it finally wouldn't mark the filesystem as having errors, and this was off a CLEAN INSTALL?!?!? I hope my hard drive isn't bad. I'll give it a day or two. | 23:35 |
| luks__ | Daughain: you need a dhcp server and a tftp server with the image | 23:35 |
| luks__ | Daughain: the dhcp server points on the image file | 23:35 |
| dibs | Pici cheers | 23:35 |
| ae86-drifter | captainIan, ath is short for Atheros right?? | 23:35 |
| captainIan | Zaehlas: boot from a different device, check the disk, and maybe it is OK | 23:35 |
| cowgarden | When I dualboot and hibernated windows, could it be that windows deletes files that did not exist when it was hibernated once it resumes? | 23:35 |
| captainIan | ae86-drifter: yes | 23:35 |
| genii | Pici: Not mailutils ? | 23:35 |
| `mOOse` | anybody got any experience expanding partitions? | 23:36 |
| ae86-drifter | captainIan, well yes i do have an ath chipset definately... | 23:36 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: yes, it could... but I don't think it does. | 23:36 |
| Zaehlas | captainIan: Well, this finaly boot it had to have mnarked clean, cause it was loading gnome. So I'm going to finish the install, and boot a few more times, and see if it stays clean from here on out. Thanks again. | 23:36 |
| captainIan | ae86-drifter: OK! I thought the acer had a different one but i am often wrong | 23:36 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, any other ideas for missing files? | 23:36 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, it even was an external drive (but connected all the time) | 23:36 |
| ae86-drifter | captainIan, its not a netbook by the way | 23:36 |
| captainIan | ae86-drifter: OH | 23:37 |
| Daughain | luks__: OK, I have dhcp and tftp, Rightnow, tftp seems to have connection issues that I am trying to reslove. | 23:37 |
| captainIan | nvrmind then | 23:37 |
| dibs | genii do you use utils instead of mailx? | 23:37 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: in linux? what fs? | 23:37 |
| lasivian | ok, I have a windows drive mounted as local at boot up in /media, and it's saying I have no permission to copy files to it, ideas? | 23:37 |
| captainIan | if it's XFS and you don't shut down properly, you may never have had those files on the disk to begin with | 23:37 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, files are missing on both systems, created them with linux. I think it's fat23 | 23:37 |
| Daughain | luks__: I;ve yet to get tftp to grab a file from the windows box I need it to connect to. | 23:38 |
| Pici | genii: On this install /usr/bin/mail symlinks to /etc/alternatives/mail which symlinks to /usr/bin/bsd-mailx | 23:38 |
| genii | dibs: I mail from commandline with something like: mail -s "subject" user@wherever then the body exited by a . | 23:38 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: do us a favor and verify the filesystem... i'll look some info up when you let me know | 23:38 |
| xubuntu | hi im new to ubuntu but its awsome so far. how do i connect to shared folders one my readyNAS_ | 23:38 |
| luks__ | Daughain: have you tried to connect manually to the windows box via tftp? | 23:39 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, what tool do you recommend for that? | 23:39 |
| genii | Pici: OK | 23:39 |
| Daughain | luks__: Thats what I am trying now. | 23:39 |
| Pici | genii: Same for my desktop install. | 23:39 |
| lord_hypnos | hey i can't access my external drive anymore, how do i mount it manually? | 23:39 |
| nojoints | anyone here who can help me make a script that automaticly at login lets synergyc use sudo? synergy lags if not using sudo command but have no idea how to get it to work nor do i get it via visudo /etc/sudoers | 23:39 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: tool? um... anything that can partition can potentially check... also, fsck (if it's an automounted drive) should have some info... | 23:40 |
| Daughain | luks__: I keep getting a sendto: invalid argument error. | 23:40 |
| xubuntu | those shared folders shows up auto on my desktop but not when i try xubuntu on my laptop | 23:40 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: in a terminal window, type cat /etc/fsck | 23:40 |
| captainIan | er | 23:40 |
| captainIan | ops! | 23:41 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: in a terminal window, type cat /etc/fstab | 23:41 |
| dibs | genii pici. when I try mail -s etc... I get an apt-install message for | 23:41 |
| FloodBot1 | captainIan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:41 |
| dibs | heirloom-mailx | 23:41 |
| dibs | * mailutils | 23:41 |
| undecim | xubuntu: I think for that you will need to go to Places -> Connect to Server. Select "Windows Share" as the service type. | 23:41 |
| captainIan | wow... I need some tylenol | 23:41 |
| dibs | which should I choose do you think? | 23:41 |
| dibs | sorry floodbot1, it was an accident | 23:41 |
| luks__ | Daughain: hmm dont really know how to help out here, but what about booting a linux live cd, setting up dhcp and tftp by following a tutorial? | 23:42 |
| captainIan | Richturd: did you get sorted? | 23:42 |
| Richturd | No | 23:42 |
| undecim | xubuntu: If you aren't sure what information to use there, you should be able to find it by "Browse Network" button from that dialog | 23:42 |
| newbie123abc | why alsamixer doesn't control HDMI output? | 23:42 |
| genii | dibs: The package Pici suggests uses an alternative command-line mail than the one I suggested... either should do | 23:42 |
| Richturd | I havent captainIan | 23:42 |
| xubuntu | il try that | 23:42 |
| dibs | genii and pici, thank you | 23:42 |
| Richturd | I also cannot run some video formats on my netbook remix like, WMV | 23:43 |
| captainIan | Richturd: in terminal, type uname -a and paste the output here | 23:43 |
| captainIan | Richturd: that's probably a matter of installing the codecs | 23:43 |
| Richturd | Which ones do I get CaptainIan | 23:43 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, can't see the drives there (just my root and swap partitions) | 23:43 |
| captainIan | Richturd: depends on what you want to play | 23:44 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: ok | 23:44 |
| Richturd | all codecs | 23:44 |
| yml | I am wondering how to instruct aptitude to install a superseded version of a package on a PPA for example cherokee 0.99.37 (https://launchpad.net/~cherokee-webserver/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=superseded&field.series_filter=) | 23:44 |
| Daughain | luks__: OK, I have no removable media options available on the client system, LAN install is my only option. I've been following tut's for 14 hours so far. Bootp works fine, dhcp seems to be working. tftp seems to be the issue point. I'm trying to figure this out one step at a tme, and dont realy know what I am doing.=) | 23:44 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, I'll check with Gparted in a second | 23:44 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: is the drive mounted? | 23:44 |
| xubuntu | in my plases i got no connect to server | 23:44 |
| yml | where cherokee 0.99.39 is the lastest | 23:45 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, yes, just trying to unount it | 23:45 |

| arsenZV | hi! | 23:50 |
| infid | would ubuntu 32-bit version run on an amd64? | 23:50 |
| yml | kinja-sheep: you mean that there is no way to instruct aptitude to pick a particular version of that list ? | 23:50 |
| captainIan | Richturd: I didnt see you reply to my last question... | 23:50 |
| luks__ | infid: yes | 23:50 |
| captainIan | Richturd: Aside from the video file not playing, what else was up? Webcam and what else? | 23:50 |
| kinja-sheep | yml: From the PPA? Perhaps you want !version | 23:50 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, oh man, gparted stalled, i kille dit and now it wont start again. I smell bad things.... | 23:50 |
| kinja-sheep | yml: Also, !pinning | 23:50 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: slow down... | 23:51 |
| infid | luks__ can all 32 bit os's run on a 64 bit machine? ie windows vista 32 on an amd 64? | 23:51 |
| luks__ | infid: yes ;) | 23:51 |
| infid | cool | 23:51 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: maybe there's something else going on | 23:51 |
| yml | kinja-sheep: I am going to look into this 2 commands | 23:51 |
| kinja-sheep | !version | yml | 23:51 |
| ubottu | yml: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 23:51 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, maybe we should look if an undelte program will find the files? | 23:51 |
| kinja-sheep | !pinning | yml | 23:51 |
| ubottu | yml: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:51 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: are you SURE it's fat32 and not NTFS? | 23:52 |
| ehc | i'm using network-manager-gnome with kde and i was trying to reset my gnome keyring password so i deleted .gnome2/keyrings/* but now when i use netowkr-manager-gnome from systray to connect to a network the password isn't remembered (nor does it prompt me for a gnome keyring password) | 23:52 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, yes, Gparted said so and I run into trouble with the 4gb limit once in the past | 23:52 |
| captainIan | ok | 23:52 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: read about this- http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-729-recovering-lost-files | 23:53 |
| dibs | in mailx what do you press to end your email and send it? | 23:54 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, more important than the files was however a reliable filesys :) | 23:54 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: if you wanted a reliable FS, why on earth are you using fat(anything)? | 23:55 |
| quesada__ | compiz dies w segmentation fault. Any idea what to do next? http://pastebin.com/mb0b75b2 | 23:55 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, to lazy to reformat and to little space... is ntfs better? i need to dualboot | 23:55 |
| fernando_ | Buonasera a tutti | 23:56 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: you can convert the drive from fat32 to ntfs | 23:56 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: no reformat needed | 23:56 |
| cowgarden | captainIan, ah, right. and you recommend that, yes? | 23:56 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: it is better... more feature-licious | 23:57 |
| captainIan | cowgarden: still not a great fs, but better than fat32 or fat... | 23:57 |
| cowgarden | ok | 23:58 |
| WindowSmasher | Hello all. Why would anyone use multiple swap partitions? | 23:58 |
| Jarxes | undecim: ru still around? | 23:58 |
| undecim | Jarxes: yup | 23:58 |
| yml | kinja-sheep: I read the documentation you sent me but this is not exactly what I ma trying to do. I tack the changes a PPA which release new version fairly regularly. The situation that I am trying to solve is after an update I found out that the lastest deb on this PPA is broken. so how can I install a superseded one ? | 23:58 |
| xubuntu | Yea i got connection to my readyNAS to work | 23:59 |
