| greg__ | would this be an appropriate forum to ask a question about transmission in ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| DevilsArms | Got what I would call an complex question involving X11 | 00:04 |
| br0kenarr0w | greg__, #transmission | 00:04 |
| DevilsArms | I'm attempting to set the Modeline's but i'm a tad lost on what I need to do | 00:05 |
| git__ | ACPI was causing a lot of the problem i've experienced when trying to copy large data sets to USB hard drive | 00:05 |
| git__ | every so often, my laptop would just freeze | 00:05 |
| nighteagle | and for Empathy, is there a specific irc? | 00:05 |
| DevilsArms | My TV doesn't support 1:1 HDMI so i'm having to use Modelines on my Nvidia ION but not sure what I need to set where etc. | 00:06 |
| xubuntu | i gettin my shared folder to my mac pro also | 00:06 |
| nighteagle | i just want to know how to change the font size, in the chat window | 00:06 |
| Pelo | nighteagle, xchat ? check in settings, under pref , somewhere in there | 00:06 |
| frenzy_usa | Anyone using QuickBooks Pro 2009 in VirtualBox? | 00:07 |

| greg__ | has anyone set up the web interface for transmission i cant get it to work | 00:08 |
| undecim | Jarxes: Okay, couldn't find a simple one like i was looking for, so I typed up one real quick: http://paste.ubuntu.com/355259/ | 00:08 |

| yeason | greg__: what's it doing? | 00:08 |
| greg__ | yeason its asking me to authinticate.. i dont want to | 00:09 |
| initmass | nighteagle, I'm using Ubuntu | 00:09 |
| Pelo | nighteagle, try this, check in your /home folder for a hiden folder for empathy, look for a .conf file , you might be able to change it in there | 00:09 |
| nighteagle | initmass, what's the version in the repositories? | 00:09 |
| yeason | greg__: when you set it up did you uncheck "use authentication"? | 00:09 |
| greg__ | yes | 00:10 |
| nighteagle | Pelo, thank you very much, i'm going to try this | 00:10 |
| greg__ | yeason it says the server localhost:90991 at Transmission requires a username and password. | 00:11 |
| initmass | nighteagle, Version: 1:1.6.3-7ubuntu10 | 00:11 |
| Goliath | is anyone member of theplace.bz? | 00:11 |
| initmass | nighteagle, version 2 is out since long ago | 00:12 |
| undecim | initmass: take a look at http://www.kubuntu.org/news/koffice-2 | 00:12 |
| nighteagle | initmass, i think that the better to do, is to wait that they'll be available, on the repo. | 00:12 |
| yeason | greg__: I understand, I'm trying to think of what might be causing the problem and what you can do to fix it. When you connect have you tried using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost, I've seen this make or break some things | 00:12 |
| initmass | undecim, I've been there but it seems like it's the whole Koffice suite. I only want Krita 2 | 00:13 |
| greg__ | yeason ill try that real quick | 00:13 |
| initmass | nighteagle, feels pity when it's out | 00:13 |

| greg__ | yeason it still asks for localhost | 00:14 |
| greg__ | or says localhost rather | 00:14 |

| genii | git__: That actually sounds fast | 00:16 |
| greg__ | yeason i did.. ill try again | 00:16 |
| undecim | Jarxes: Usually, on a real system (i.e. not a livecd), there will be subfolders inside of /mnt/ if you mount media manually a lot, but since it's not really used by anything else, it's really convenient to just use directly when you need a quick chroot. I think the Ubuntu installer even uses it to mount the drive it is installing to. | 00:16 |

| git__ | i think ACPI is the culprit for my Ubuntu 9.10 on nw8440 to crash when i put it in suspend mode or when i leave my laptop on for a lengthy backup | 00:17 |
| yeason | greg__: ok, just double checking that you'd given both a shot. I'm not sure that it will do much but I'd try enabling it, see if you can connect at all using the username and password you enter. If that works try disabling it again and see if it works then. If not try restarting the program. | 00:17 |

| MarkStoddart | sam9 what RAID? | 00:19 |
| sam9 | Mark: No raid just normal setup | 00:20 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: If you can get a keyboard and monitor on your server, you can use a livecd to make some space on the hard drive. | 00:20 |
| TheMozart | Pici: thanks for that. | 00:20 |
| MarkStoddart | sam9: No, note that you'll need to reinstall grub though (unless they changed this in windows 7) | 00:20 |
| initmass | undecim, i'll try that. thank you | 00:20 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: yeah, I am at it right now with a keyb and monitor, but making space wont help because I already did that when the problem first arose before I tried the reboot command | 00:21 |
| Hilikus | where am i supposed to configure samba so that every update doesnt complain about my smb.conf having local changes? it's really annoying. i want to disable everything in [printers], use user authentication, etc, but every change i made creates a problem in the update where the installer wants to revert it to a dist version | 00:21 |
| === usuario-master is now known as RAincar | ||
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: You are using a LiveCD right now? | 00:21 |
| sam9 | Mark: Thanks. I will try that. Because I already had win7 installed so I installed linux on its own SATA drive. But the only way i can get it to boot is what ever drive is plugged into SATA port 0 | 00:21 |
| funkycat90210 | vmware player is complaining that it cannot find the kernel headers, I've tried everything, how can I get the kernel headers it likes? | 00:21 |
| MarkStoddart | sam9 this is because of the windows boot loader ignores linux operating systems | 00:22 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: No, I just booted it up normally and got to the login prompt. I am not sure I have a live CD arount atm | 00:22 |
| MarkStoddart | install grub on the windows machine to see both when both harddrives are connected. | 00:22 |
| sam9 | Mark: thanks will try that now. Appreciate your help | 00:23 |
| undecim | Well, if you can't get a LiveCD, you can alway boot into recovery mode. Since 5% of the hard drive space is reserved to the root user (in case stuff like this happens), you should be able to log in there and make space. | 00:23 |
| funkycat90210 | how do i generate the linux-headers-x.y.z-generic dir? | 00:23 |
| MarkStoddart | no problem. All part of the community :) | 00:23 |

| Jarxes | undecim: ok, yeah I had everything on one 10GB partition and started to run out of space. It was only 10GB because at the beginning I was kinda trying out Ubuntu. Then I fell in love with it and started to do some serious work with it (I'm a pro-audio/composer guy), so once I started to run out of space I decided to move my /home and /usr to different partitions. I moved all the files from my at that time ntfs partition and se | 00:43 |
| Jarxes | arched on the net how to accomplish my goal. I deleted/partitioned the ntfs into two ext4, copied my whole /usr to the smaller (40GB) new ext4 from LiveCD (I couldn't do the same with /home cause I encrypted it during Ubuntu install), edited the fstab to point to the new location of /usr, restarted and that's the moment when the grub got broken. So now, that I have /usr copied to the new partition can I simply point to it inst | 00:43 |
| Jarxes | ead leaving it where it was using "sudo mount /dev/sdb7/usr /mnt"? | 00:43 |

| doufer | ? | 00:44 |
| doufer | i mean | 00:44 |
| doufer | boot livecd on hdd and everything would be discarded after reboot | 00:45 |
| git__ | doufer, it's possible | 00:45 |

| undecim | Jarxes: Yeah, changing just the /dev/sdXY part in fstab should make ubuntu use the new partition. | 00:46 |
| tripzero | what's the normal reason that usplash would drop out early into a text console during boot? | 00:46 |
| agony | Does anyone know a good editor for python? | 00:47 |
| tripzero | agony: emacs | 00:48 |
| eric_3 | hey, i have a problem, my computer, every time i boot up it searches for a USB drive and i have to hit f12 to have it boot normaly. i can not get into the BIOS because it is locked with a 6 char password. Any ideas of what to do? Oh and can i download and amd x64 archetecture CD and still run it on intel 86x? | 00:48 |
| Jarxes | undecim: so in other words something went wrong while partitioning I guess. | 00:48 |
| doufer | sooo xorg.conf is being replaced by HAL? | 00:48 |
| tripzero | doufer: X will still use xorg.conf if it's there | 00:48 |
| tripzero | but it tries to rely more on detection rather than a config if it can | 00:48 |
| doufer | ohh i see | 00:48 |
| doufer | ok go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch | 00:49 |
| doufer | look for Create manifest | 00:49 |
| doufer | that doesnt look right | 00:49 |
| tripzero | eric_3: reset the bios. and no you can't run a 64bit OS on a 32bit CPU | 00:49 |
| undecim | Jarxes: I don't think anything went wrong. Grub doesn't read fstab. Grub just reads its config file from the partition it's told to read it from. | 00:49 |
| eric_3 | thanks! doufer | 00:49 |
| doufer | create manifest doesnt look right to me | 00:49 |
| eric_3 | thanks tripezero and how do i reset the bios? | 00:49 |
| tripzero | eric_3: a jumper on your mobo. | 00:50 |
| Jarxes | undecim: should I use "sudo mount /dev/sdb7/usr /mnt" or rather simply "sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt" to mount the new /usr? | 00:50 |
| DBCOOPA | I downloaded 9.10 a few days ago. I haven't been able to get sound from my computer since. I have ALSAMIXER 1.0.20 installed. Any advice? | 00:50 |
| eric_3 | k and how would i locate that? | 00:50 |
| tripzero | doufer: it may not be right. I think i had to modify that script slightly to get it to work... | 00:50 |
| doufer | can u send me the correct script? | 00:50 |
| agony | does emacs have graphic user interface? | 00:51 |
| doufer | opps the modified script | 00:51 |
| Night0wl | does anyone use guake? (i know i might be asking in the wrong place) I can't seem to find an option to keep it loading on the bottom of the screen- it randomly will be top or bottom | 00:51 |

| ubottu | 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. | 00:51 |
| eric_3 | will reseting the bios also change the boot order back to HDD? | 00:52 |
| annodomini | I'm having a problem where my network (wireless) stops working after about a minute. I see a line in the syslog from wpa_supplicant about CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS, so I suspect it may be a variation of this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/460886 | 00:52 |
| undecim | Jarxes: Oh, you are still trying to chroot? If /dev/sdb7 is the partition which has your /usr/ files, you need to mount it with "sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /mnt/usr" | 00:52 |
| tripzero | eric_3: probably | 00:52 |
| hari_ | There was an error during operation «httpConnectionEncrypt failed». | 00:52 |
| annodomini | There's a suggested line to add to wpa_supplicant.conf, but I don't find such a file in /etc | 00:52 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | mcphail: Hmm, it doesn't seem to be mounted as noexec | 00:52 |
| eric_3 | but where would i find the jumper | 00:52 |

| eric_3 | tripzero: is there a way to locate the jumper? | 00:55 |
| tripzero | eric_3: your motherboard manual | 00:55 |

| domino_koi | !root | 00:57 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:57 |

| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:57 |

| eric_3 | sorry #samba | 00:57 |
| melvincv | not an archiving utility, an imaging utility to take a image of my root partition, with a boot cd to restore the partition... | 00:58 |

| toastedmilk | shamike, take the specs to ubuntu.com and check it out | 00:59 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | Is there a way to check info about mounted partitions? I need to see info about my problem that no users have access to /bin/bash | 00:59 |
| shamike | ok | 00:59 |
| toastedmilk | Ostlian_Bryffelk, try using root. | 00:59 |
| melvincv | taking a image of my root partition, in case it gets corrupt... | 00:59 |
| eric_3 | bye | 00:59 |
| toastedmilk | melvincv, just make a backup | 00:59 |

| melvincv | backup, which program? tar is just an archiver, right? | 01:01 |
| toastedmilk | zioplaslt, synaptic? | 01:01 |

| chasedawg1 | rhythmBox help.... | 01:02 |
| Jarxes | undecim: ok, I got some "bash: groups: command not found" but other than that I'm on "root@ubuntu:/#". Now what? Will it run properly it I simply restart the machine now or do I need to run the "grub-update", or something else? | 01:02 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | dullard, undecim: Hmm, proc, /sys, varrun and varlock has "noexec". Is that good? | 01:02 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: yeah. | 01:02 |
| zioplaslt | i think i cant reach synaptic, or maybe i dont know how. I guess maybe something is wrong with xorg or graphics card drivers | 01:02 |
| toastedmilk | zioplaslt, yeah you'd have to use aptitude to reinstall the dependencies | 01:03 |
| zioplaslt | becauze it freezes after file system checks | 01:03 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: The partition with my home dir that gives problems has (rw, errors=remount-ro) Is that good? | 01:03 |
| undecim | Jarxes: just run "update-grub" and then reboot, and see if it works. | 01:03 |
| melvincv | backup, which program? | 01:03 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: yeah, that's good. | 01:03 |
| zioplaslt | aptitude says all dependencies are resolved, everything updated | 01:03 |
| melvincv | backup, which program? how bout clonezilla? | 01:03 |
| toastedmilk | zioplaslt, but you can't log in normally? | 01:04 |

| melvincv | any system restore program in ubuntu? | 01:06 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: I say just try reinstalling each of your packages, because it seems that some important file got nixed when you ran out of space. | 01:07 |
| toastedmilk | melvincv, no. | 01:07 |
| toastedmilk | melvincv, you have to use the terminal | 01:07 |
| chasedawg1 | quietone: rhythmbox | 01:07 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: "sudo aptitude reinstall '~i'". should do that. | 01:07 |
| melvincv | k, how do u restore using the terminal? | 01:07 |
| Pici | hari_: You need to be exact when typing the command. Spacing is important. sudo cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.O /etc/cups/cupsd.conf thats a capital O, not a 0 also. | 01:08 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: Can I risk losing other stuff? like things in msqldatabases, files and such? | 01:08 |
| quietone | chasedawg1: there are some formats that rhythmbox cant or wont change the details of. I can fully manipulate anything that is .ogg | 01:08 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: I don't think so, because those are config files. You should backup all your important files before doing this. | 01:08 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: ok | 01:09 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: You should always backup important files before doing anything big. | 01:09 |

| chasedawg1 | quietone: ya i have dual boot, but i dont get on windows that much | 01:13 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: I tried that too, and then aptitude printed out all avalilable parameters and at the bottom "This aptitude does not have super cow powers" | 01:13 |
| undecim | melvincv: Well then you don't need to worry about the entire root partition, because all the files from there can be downloaded freely from ther internet. You just need to copy any important files from your home directory to somewhere else. | 01:14 |

| imran | Hey guys, quick question. Here's the scenario : Had Windows XP. Later, installed Ubuntu to a new HD. Even later, partitioned the Windows drive and installed Windows 7 on it. This replaced Grub. Now, Windows 7 boots and asks if I want to boot 7 or XP. I reinstalled Grub, and all that I can get on now is Ubuntu. How can I get back to booting Windows 7, from where I can choose XP or 7? | 01:17 |
| zig_ | Should I format /dev/sdd, clearing out the partition information? Or should I format /dev/sdd1? | 01:17 |
| komputes | zig_: the sdd is the device, the sdd1 is the partition | 01:17 |
| komputes | zig_: it makes no diff what you partition, in my experience | 01:17 |

| Jarxes | undecim: ok, seems it's done. I'm rebooting my machine. hope it'll work fine now. I'll be back to report whether success or failure. | 01:18 |
| imran | melvincv, there is but trying to boot that does literally nothing. also tried to add a windows 7 boot command, and didn't work. Got an error 22 or something. | 01:19 |
| chasedawg1 | quietone: I'm reading them now. | 01:19 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: I'm all out of ideas for this one. I think you might have better luck on the Ubuntu forums though, since someone must have run into a problem like this before, and the forums tend to reach more eyes than IRC. | 01:20 |
| melvincv | imran: u have windows on another harddisk? | 01:20 |
| NFischer | Hi all, i seemingly have accidentally deleted wines entry in Applications-Bar.. how do i get it back? i.e. Wine is not selectable in the Applications-bar on gnome-panel. | 01:20 |
| ckw | imran, run os-prober as root | 01:20 |
| Ostlian_Bryffelk | undecim: Okay, I'll try that then. Thanks for the help anyway. ^^ | 01:20 |
| quietone | chasedawg1: happy reading. i'm off now | 01:20 |
| melvincv | nfischer: how did u delete it? | 01:21 |
| chasedawg1 | quietone: k thanks | 01:21 |
| undecim | Ostlian_Bryffelk: No problem... If I think of anything, I'll be sure to post it. | 01:21 |
| tkmr | NFischer, go to Preferences -> Main Menu and then add it again. | 01:21 |
| imran | melvincv, I have windows XP and 7 on 1st drive, and ubuntu on my 2nd | 01:21 |
| imran | ckw, downloading and installin | 01:21 |
| NFischer | melter, yeah i cant really remember.. its been a time.. i deinstalled it and wien would not disapear | 01:21 |
| ckw | undecim, This is being output to the console when an app crashes, I'm not actually running anything from the console at the time | 01:21 |
| ckw | thus, I can't use tee | 01:22 |
| imran | ckw, /dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain | 01:22 |
| NFischer | melter, so i deleted it (i think!) by rightclicking Edit Menues | 01:22 |
| NFischer | tkmr, its not there anymore | 01:22 |
| Jarxes | undecim: If it does work, this accomplishment should find its way to some grub-fix forum don't you think? I'll edit and post all we did on pastebin so you may edit it further and post it on some forum. Maybe it'll be useful to someone else as well... | 01:22 |
| ckw | Well that's interesting | 01:23 |
| NFischer | tkmr, i did not deselect "show" but deleted it | 01:23 |
| melvincv | imran: sudo grub-install hd1 --root-directory=/media/disk | 01:23 |
| ckw | imran, you might have to reconstruct it by hand | 01:23 |
| undecim | ckw: sounds like you have something backgrounded. | 01:23 |
| ckw | Yes | 01:23 |
| ckw | I know | 01:23 |
| NFischer | tkmr, since ive had it uninstalled that time | 01:23 |
| melvincv | imran: after mounting the root partition using the live cd, as /media/disk | 01:23 |
| tkmr | NFischer: You should be able to add it via the "Add Menu Item" iirc | 01:23 |
| tkmr | ? | 01:23 |
| ckw | And something is crashing and outputting to either stderr or stdout, I don't know which | 01:23 |
| ckw | what I want to know is how to redirect them to files | 01:24 |
| nvme | i am trying to access an ubuntu desktop thats on the LAN of a windows desktop that i can connect to using remote desktop, is there any way i could get direct ssh to the linux machine ? (only have access to the windows machine through internet ) | 01:24 |
| ckw | so I can figure out what's wrong | 01:24 |
| NFischer | tkmr, Type? Command? | 01:24 |
| imran | melvincv, I am on Ubuntu now, no live disk - Im trying to ADD windows to grub | 01:24 |
| imran | ckw, How can I go about this, what do you mean by "by hand" | 01:24 |
| melvincv | k | 01:25 |
| melvincv | 1 min... | 01:25 |
| nohup | imran: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:25 |
| ckw | imran, modifying the grub menu file directly | 01:25 |
| imran | ckw, nohup, I went in there and tried to edit the file but I apparantly didnt put the right numbers/info | 01:25 |
| nohup | isn't there an example for it by default ? | 01:26 |

| FloodBot1 | melvincv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:26 |
| imran | ckw, nohup, Can you tell me what to put - Windows XP should be 0,0 and Win 7 should be 0,1 | 01:26 |
| nohup | exactly, and replace the (hd1,0) by the apropiate partition | 01:26 |

| Dimoutlook | Good evening is it very hard to duel boot vista with 4 partitions on a 1 TB drivw | 01:27 |
| sulio | need an ebook reader for Ubuntu... any thoughts? | 01:27 |
| Dimoutlook | that should be drive | 01:27 |
| sulio | dimoutlook I dont think it would be difficult | 01:27 |
| melvincv | the grub-install automatically did that 4 me | 01:28 |
| undecim | ckw: Have a look at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/io-redirection.html. It explains all the various BASH redirections you can use. | 01:28 |
| sulio | dimoutlook Are you worried that 250 GB isnt enough HD space for Vista? | 01:28 |
| tkmr | NFischer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4025416&postcount=4 ? | 01:28 |
| Dimoutlook | okm thanks could you point me to a good faq on that | 01:28 |
| drizzt__ | I'm having problems trying to connect WinX | 01:28 |
| ckw | ... | 01:28 |
| ckw | I know about bash redirections | 01:28 |
| ckw | this process, whatever it is, is auto starting | 01:28 |
| ckw | I'm not starting it | 01:28 |
| ckw | however, it is outputting to the standard console | 01:29 |
| drizzt__ | P share to Karmic machine, getting NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE error | 01:29 |
| undecim | ckw: Sorry... didn't understand. | 01:29 |
| nohup | ckw: it's not doing that though syslogd ? | 01:29 |
| DBCOOPA | ubbotu: you were helping me with my sound earlier and i had to jet. first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). I don't see this option anywhere in my volume control? | 01:29 |
| Dimoutlook | Ok thanks could you point me to a good faq on that s search on the forums only gave three hits | 01:29 |
| imran | melvincv, two things : One, Windows OS's are on my 1st HD, so should it be (0,x) and two, should I actually run 7 since that is the one that chains to XP? | 01:29 |
| imran | ehhh he left.... | 01:29 |
| imran | ckw, Do you want me to actually upload my menu.lst? | 01:30 |
| sulio | http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6157570.html this might do it for you Dimoutlook, but Im not really sure what you want to dual boot to besides vista... you want ubuntu on the other partition? and what about the other two partitions? | 01:30 |
| NFischer | tkmr, awesome, thx! | 01:30 |
| geitenneuker | i eat a fnord | 01:30 |

| devunt | hello | 01:31 |
| drizzt__ | ryanCH, exactly 32 repetitions | 01:31 |
| imran | ckw, again, note that my Windows OS's are on my FIRST HD, and that Windows 7 is the one that can boot into XP or 7 (As far as I know anyway) | 01:31 |
| tkmr | NFischer: Cool. Glad I could help. =) | 01:31 |
| ryanCH | drizzt__, is there an example i could see to see exactly how it works? | 01:31 |
| ryanCH | drizzt__, whats with the \'s? | 01:31 |
| nohup | imran: and windows is on the first partition of that hd ? | 01:31 |
| sulio | What's a good ebook reader for Ubuntu? Anyone? | 01:31 |
| drizzt__ | ryanCH, \ makes { and } special characters | 01:32 |
| nohup | sulio: ek=books aren't just pdfs ? (never bought one) | 01:32 |
| ckw | Yup, I understand | 01:32 |
| nohup | e-books, even | 01:32 |
| imran | NoCode, 1st drive is partitioned : 1st partition XP, 2nd Partition Win 7 and 2nd HD is ALL ubuntu | 01:32 |
| imran | NoCode, sorry wrong person | 01:32 |
| imran | nohup, 1st drive is partitioned : 1st partition XP, 2nd Partition Win 7 and 2nd HD is ALL ubuntu | 01:32 |
| drizzt__ | ryanCH, it's \{m,n\}, where m and n are minimum and maximum repetition count | 01:32 |

| Flea_ | imran, is there a point to having 3 OS's installed? | 01:33 |

| nohup | although i'm not sure if there's supposed to be a space between chainloader and +1... :) (mine has one) | 01:33 |
| sulio | nohup No, I guess they are not... check out this site http://www.diesel-ebooks.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&query=^search_by_series.sql&q1=Daniel%20X | 01:34 |
| sulio | nohup the formats are quite diverse | 01:34 |

| ckw | imran, Ugh, I was hoping I could copy from my grub files, but I'm using grub2 | 01:34 |
| Dimoutlook | sulio thanks for the tip going to sign off and try that will get back latter | 01:34 |
| imran | Flea_, Sure. XP for Gaming, Ubuntu for fun, and 7 for working. | 01:34 |
| ckw | Just copying the XP part, replacing (hd0, 0) with (hd0, 1) doesn't work? | 01:35 |

| geitenneuker | why firefox is sodamn slow | 01:35 |
| imran | ckw, Tried that actually, and changed back to old verson | 01:35 |
| sulio | nohup No kidding. I suppose I could run something under Wine | 01:35 |
| drizzt__ | geitenneuker, because you have many plugins | 01:35 |
| ckw | What happened when you added it? the menu showed up but it didn't work? | 01:35 |
| geitenneuker | drizzt__: i got no plugins | 01:35 |
| geitenneuker | i dont need that | 01:36 |
| nohup | ckw: isn't there a space needed between "chainloader" and "+1" ? | 01:36 |
| Flea_ | imran, cool... I just feel like I would pick one OS and stay in it mostly and neglect the other two. | 01:36 |
| geitenneuker | i compare it with chrome, and chrome is tons faster | 01:36 |
| imran | ckw, if I recall, I got an "Error 22" or something similar - I'll try again, be back in a minute... | 01:36 |
| imran | Flea_, Hint hint, i stick with XP | 01:36 |
| geitenneuker | firefox is a piece of whatever | 01:36 |
| saptech | greetings all | 01:36 |
| drizzt__ | geitenneuker, try Opera then. What is youur Ubuntu question? | 01:37 |

| forceflow | Oak: "Disk Usage Analyzer" | 01:38 |
| Oak | forceflow: thanks | 01:38 |
| prohna | is there a fix for firefox not refreshing correctly when compiz is on? | 01:38 |
| forceflow | Oak: also known as baobab | 01:38 |
| prohna | like when i scroll a page | 01:38 |
| geitenneuker | firefox has spaghetti code | 01:38 |
| drizzt__ | does it have 'boxes'? | 01:38 |
| geitenneuker | just like gnome, lot of spaghetti coe | 01:38 |
| prohna | seems like i remember having this issue years ago when i used it | 01:38 |
| prohna | woulda thought it had been resolved by now | 01:39 |
| ubuntu | hmm wich distos you guys using or wich one is rhe best for a linux nub? | 01:39 |
| factotum | geitenneuker: you should check out the kernel some time ha! | 01:39 |
| drizzt__ | take your whining in #mozilla or whatever | 01:39 |
| geitenneuker | tons of config files, i hate that, is it possible to use a windows like system, using a "registry" file instead of those crappy old .conf sucks? | 01:39 |
| prohna | its not a firefox issue | 01:39 |
| prohna | when compiz is off it goes away | 01:39 |
| factotum | geitenneuker: yes | 01:39 |
| geitenneuker | factotum: xml language or something | 01:39 |
| nohup | imran: and and and ? :) | 01:39 |
| drizzt__ | geitenneuker, XML is awful idea for registry | 01:40 |
| imran | nohup, ckw, Didnt work - got "Error 12 : Invalid Device Requested" | 01:40 |
| forceflow | geitenneuker: these .conf files allow people to customize the look and feel of firefox | 01:40 |
| geitenneuker | drizzt__: dbase? | 01:40 |
| ckw | imran, Does XP work still? | 01:40 |

| sunraider3 | i am having a problem installing anything. i run config then when i enter make or make install in says permission is denied usr/etc... do i need to run this as root or something??? | 01:41 |

| ckw | kind of wish you had a laptop so you could test and talk :P | 01:42 |
| factotum | just go back to using nc, it makes things easier | 01:43 |
| sunraider3 | i am having a problem installing anything. i run config then when i enter make or make install in says permission is denied usr/etc... do i need to run this as root or something, if so, what is the command??? | 01:43 |
| djtoast | what would i loose by downgrading to 8.04 ? from 9.10 | 01:43 |

| KenBW2 | where are the configuration folders for gedit? | 01:43 |
| treesapsatchel | if i backup files from a ftp in .tar it preserves file permissions/chmod: my question is where is that permissions data stored... is it in each individual file or is there a global list with the files and their chmods that is accessed to determine it | 01:44 |
| ckw | changing the value in root (hd0, 0) to (hd1, 0) | 01:44 |
| ckw | then adding the two mapp lines | 01:44 |
| factotum | KenBW2: ~/.gedit i think | 01:44 |
| ubuntu | i tryed mint 8, ubuntu 9.10 xbuntu 9.10 kubuntu 9.10 netbook remix feeling ubuntu maby best for me | 01:44 |
| drizzt__ | treesapsatchel, it's in each file header | 01:44 |
| Trizicus | gnome no longer auto mounts my cd/dvd drive and brasero no longer detects drive. How do I fix this? | 01:44 |
| sunraider3 | anyone? | 01:44 |
| sunraider3 | i am having a problem installing anything. i run config then when i enter make or make install in says permission is denied usr/etc... do i need to run this as root or something??? | 01:44 |
| jtaji | treesapsatchel: it's stored in the tar file | 01:44 |
| drizzt__ | sunraider3, sudo <command> if you're installinf from terminal | 01:45 |
| treesapsatchel | is it possible to modify manually and selectively? | 01:45 |
| jrib | treesapsatchel: I'm not sure why you would ask that question but: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(file_format) | 01:45 |
| forceflow | sunraider3: you probably need root privileges, add "sudo" before the command | 01:45 |
| djtoast | seems that 8.04 is the only version that had support for multi gpu (triple monitor on 2 vid card) sucks to have to go back but i think ive exausted every other options. | 01:45 |
| treesapsatchel | before they hit the ftp? | 01:45 |
| sunraider3 | so would--> sudo make install work? | 01:45 |
| drizzt__ | treesapsatchel, write a C pipeline utility and pass tar thru it | 01:45 |
| sunraider3 | "sudo make install" | 01:45 |
| jrib | sunraider3: work to do what? | 01:46 |
| jrib | sunraider3: you don't install things on ubuntu or most modern linux distributions by compiling | 01:46 |
| imran | ckw, if Windows 7 is on (0,1) and it chains to XP on (0,0) shouldn't I set "root" to hd (0,1)? Then, how do I configure the map #'s? | 01:46 |
| brewster | ubuntu check out MoonOS google for it | 01:47 |
| factotum | unless your a genuis and use slackware | 01:47 |
| sunraider3 | jrip: how then? | 01:47 |
| drizzt__ | jrib, of course you do, stuff in repositories is old and buggy | 01:47 |
| jrib | drizzt__: if you really believe that then there's no point in using a distro | 01:47 |

| gdiz | hey everyone, I had a question for you. I recently set up an nfs share on my ubuntu box. However, I have this strange thing that happens. The system seems to hang whenever I go to restart/ shutdown, but only when I access the nfs share from a different computer. Does anyone know why that would be or how to fix it? | 01:49 |
| nohup | (alt f7 to go back) | 01:49 |

| crazy2k | What could be a process called "exe"? | 01:49 |
| Jarxes | Q: I have an encrypted /home directory on partition with the rest of the system but I want to move it to a different partition. this partition isn't encrypted, and I want to encrypt it after I move my /home directory to that partition. How to accomplish that? | 01:50 |
| ardchoille | crazy2k: are you using google chrome? | 01:50 |
| crazy2k | ardchoille: Yes! | 01:50 |

| FloodBot1 | Electric|Master: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:52 |
| dan__ | what is "symbol" like in "symbol error lookup" | 01:52 |
| crazy2k | ardchoille: I mean, I killed that tab and exe stopped eating my processor. | 01:52 |
| ardchoille | crazy2k: "exe" is part of the google chrome package | 01:52 |
| drizzt__ | dan__, symbols are names of function in modules | 01:52 |
| nohup | Electric|Master: yeah im sorry,shoudl've mentioned you press alt-f7 to come back :) | 01:52 |

| sam9 | I currently have win 7 installed on /dev/sda1 and linux on /dev/sdc1 . Do i need to be installing grub on the win7 drive? | 01:57 |
| Wilabob | Can anyone help me? | 01:57 |
| airstrike | sam9: you install grub -or- MBR on your boot partition | 01:58 |
| airstrike | sam9: then configure dual-boot accordingly | 01:58 |
| christiann | hi somebody knows how fix sysctl is saing "read only" | 01:58 |
| christiann | sysctl oid: is read only | 01:59 |
| airstrike | sam9: don't pm me, please. i know very little about this and others can offer some advice too if you keep the convo public | 01:59 |
| sam9 | airstrike. Sorry | 01:59 |
| airstrike | sam9: i think it just stalls grub on wherever ubuntu is installed | 01:59 |
| sam9 | During install it never asked me where i want to install grub to | 01:59 |
| airstrike | but that's a big maybe | 01:59 |
| Wilabob | Okay I just figured it out, I should be using sda and I already used that before. Could grub2 not have installed on my /boot partition and my bios isn't seeing it? | 02:00 |
| mindfast | hello is there any one who could help me set up a linux router? or even point me to a up to date tutorial on how to do this? I tried to use this tut found here http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com...be-router.html .... but it seems that tut was made awhile ago and the webmin program is not the same as in the tutorial. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! | 02:00 |
| ardchoille | I would like to have text output instead of the grub splash screen while booting. Do I simply remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub ? | 02:00 |
| Jarxes | Q: I have an encrypted /home directory on partition with the rest of the system but I want to move it to a different partition. this partition isn't encrypted, and I want to encrypt it after I move my /home directory to that partition. How to accomplish that? | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | sam9: you could put grub on the linux drive. and tell the pc via the bios/menus to boot that drive if you wanted. | 02:02 |
| undecim | Jarxes: How is your home directory encrypted? Karmic's automated encryption (i.e. from the installer)? | 02:02 |
| ubuntu | http://www.hdwallpapers.net/hd-wallpapers | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sam9: duriong one of the last dialogs/install box's theres some extras/options button i recall.. Or just unplug the windows drive.. install linux.. plug it back in | 02:02 |
| ubuntu | nice wallpapers | 02:02 |
| sam9 | Dr_Willis: it seems it only boots the drive that is in my SATA port 0 | 02:02 |
| Dr_Willis | sam9: my pc can boot any opf them if i tell the bios what one to boot. | 02:03 |
| gdiz | is it possible to have a mount location for a samba drive that is permanent. Kind of like an fstab for samba? | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gdiz: you can put samba shares in fstab - yes. | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !samba | 02:03 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:03 |
| sam9 | Dr_Willis. ok let me try that then. thanks! | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | gdiz: you quickly learn to NOT use shares with spaces in the names.. :) if using the fstab | 02:04 |
| Jarxes | undecim: yes, Karmic's automated encryption | 02:04 |

| imran | So, I need help and it looks like the people who tried to help me before are gone, so let me explain. I had Windows XP on HD 1. I later installed Ubuntu to HD 2. I LATER partitioned and installed Windows 7 to HD 1. So I have XP and Win 7 on HD 1, and Ubuntu on HD 2. Now, I have GRUB installed and it loads Ubuntu just fine. I cant get it to load Win 7 however. Note that Win 7 "Chain boots" into Win XP, asking if you want to boot XP or 7. So, | 02:07 |
| imran | how can I add Win 7 to Grub?! | 02:07 |
| imran | Also note that I forgot to say I cant load Win XP from Grub Either. | 02:07 |

| Dr_Willis | imran: in theory if using 9.10 - the grub tools should see/add windows. - you DO have an entry in grub for widnwos or not? | 02:09 |
| ubuntu | it is somting in startup manager | 02:10 |
| imran | Dr_Willis, Im using 9.04... Can I easily update to 9.10 without a new CD? | 02:10 |
| elitecoder | I need to setup a VPN on my server for my iPhone. Does anyone know of a method that works with it? | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: you can.. but that wont update grub to the latest version (grub2) - and grub2 has the fancy new stuff to see/add windows automatically | 02:11 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: you may have to manually edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a proper entry for your windows drive. | 02:11 |
| imran | Dr_Willis, I tried to manually do it and couldn't get it - How can I update to 9.10 and install Grub2? I wanted to upgrade to 9.10 anyway so this is a good excuse for myself | 02:12 |
| DragonKnight | 혹시 한국분 계신가요? | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: i would do a clean install to 9.10 - not a upgrade.. but you can try a upgrade if you want | 02:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !upgrade | 02:12 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 02:12 |
| undecim | Wilabob: At grub, you have a "sh:grub>" prompt? | 02:13 |
| imran | Only reason I dont want to clean install is I'd have to reinstall all my downloaed stuff... Unless upgrading would wipe them anyway? | 02:13 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: deopends on what you mean by 'stuff' | 02:14 |
| Wilabob | undecim: nope just says error 15 | 02:14 |
| imran | Dr_Willis Applications and Tweaks, etc. | 02:14 |
| imran | Dr_Willis, Games, Compiz settings, others | 02:14 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: thers ways to clone a list of what apps you have installed.. and if you keep /home/ on its own partiion, or restore it. your other settings stay the same | 02:15 |
| baltadt | how do you delete sudo files in terminal | 02:15 |
| jrib | baltadt: what is a "sudo file"? | 02:15 |
| Dr_Willis | baltadt: what do you mean 'sudo files' ? | 02:15 |
| * jrib hands off to Dr_Willis and goes watch more of the office | 02:15 | |
| baltadt | files in /opt folder...sorry noob here | 02:16 |
| imran | Dr_Willis, So your saying that if I just went and clicked upgrade, I would lose as much stuff as if I had clean installed? | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: no that is not what i said. | 02:16 |
| Dr_Willis | baltadt: if they are owned by root.. then you use the proper sudo commands to delete them | 02:20 |
| baltadt | what is that command? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | imran: upgradeing however will NOT get you to grub2. so you would still need to add the windows sytem by hand. or manually upgrade to grub2 | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | baltadt: sudo rm /path/to/whatever - and you proberly SHOULD go read a few bash tutorials first | 02:20 |
| imran | Dr_Willis, I understand, and ok one more question, is the installation of grub2 difficult, assuming I'm decent with terminal? | 02:20 |
| baltadt | <----- trying to learn terminal commands. I have been trying to learn but I am a hans on learner | 02:20 |
| baltadt | ty | 02:20 |
| undecim | Wilabob: What if you hold down the Shift button while Grub is loading? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | imran | 02:20 |
| ubottu | imran: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 02:20 |

| Home_ | hello, is there anyone here with experience on setting up a linux router? Even if you could just point me to a up to date tutorial that would be appreciated. | 02:20 |
| imran | Thanks Dr_Willis :) I'll come back tomorrow, if you're on and post results - Home internet is kinda slow, at school, wifi goes about 1 mbps. A good improvement :) | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Home_: i recall several linux -router projects.. basuically you set up the proper iptables and ICS rules... | 02:20 |
| zig_ | Is there anything wrong with only having LVM2 LV's? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !ics | Home_ | 02:20 |

| PinkFreud | hey folks. trying to convince karmic to give me a gdm session via xdmcp on a headless box (i.e., a VM which lacks a framebuffer) | 02:23 |
| ardchoille | I would like to have text output instead of the grub splash screen while booting. Do I simply remove "splash" from /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub ? | 02:23 |
| PinkFreud | I have a custom.conf in place for gdm, and I've added a [server] section which *should* disable the default X server startup in gdm. Problem is, it doesn't work. | 02:23 |
| mvierow | hi everyone | 02:23 |
| PinkFreud | Is this possible to do with karmic's gdm? Or is it too brain-dead to pull this off? | 02:23 |
| baltadt | what is the command to delete a duplicate directory that has root permission | 02:23 |
| webdawg | which is faster: Banshee or Amarok? | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | PinkFreud: i recall somewhere that many adavanced features gdm had are not in the default that 9.10 has.. people have had to use the older gdm for some features. | 02:24 |
| PinkFreud | Dr_Willis: uhgh. lobotomized, then. | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | PinkFreud: and i mean fetures other then the lack of themeing. :) but i dont recall teh details of what advanced features were in the old. and not in the new. | 02:25 |
| git__ | Dr_Willis, do u know much about acpi in 9.10? | 02:25 |
| PinkFreud | may just have to install kdm. :/ | 02:25 |
| muppet | howdy all | 02:25 |
| baltadt | what is the command to delete a duplicate directory that has root permissions | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | PinkFreud: thats what i got on this box right now. kdm | 02:25 |
| git__ | i think acpi in 9.1 is terribly broken | 02:25 |
| iAmerikan | sudo rm -rf directory | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | baltadt: still not taken tiume to read some bash tutorals eh. :) | 02:26 |

| N7iii | hi guys, this is my firstime get into IRC lol~ | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | PinkFreud: i tend to install xming on windows and ssh -x over. :) | 02:26 |
| muppet | N7iii: hi & welcome | 02:26 |
| baltadt | Dr_Willis: I need to remove it now because it is messing up my website | 02:27 |
| PinkFreud | Dr_Willis: naaa, no Windows here. just *nix. :) | 02:27 |
| baltadt | but i will | 02:27 |
| L0rD` | baltadt: sudo rm -rf /name/of/the/directory/place or rmdir /directory/place... | 02:27 |
| undecim | ardchoille: Make sure there is no "quiet" option there as well. I don't remember if the quite option was removed from Karmic final or not. But otherwise, yes, that is how you go about that. Alternatively, you can just remove quiet, and have both the splash screen AND text. | 02:27 |
| PinkFreud | I've stuffed Karmic into a Xen domU, which, of course, is headless. | 02:27 |
| PinkFreud | iow, starting an X server is useless. :) | 02:27 |
| Dr_Willis | baltadt: you might want to 'sudo apt-get install mc' then 'sudo mc' and learn to use mc | 02:27 |
| N7iii | thanks u man | 02:28 |
| ardchoille | undecim: Ok, the "quiet" is still there in Karmic when I installed it yesterday. Thanks for the advice :) | 02:28 |
| fumbles | so I'm copying an image of my windows installation to a new disk (upgrade) and will tar up the linux partition. I can just simply reinstall grub2 with a live usb correct? | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | fumbles: your UUID's may be changed depenign on what you do exactly | 02:28 |
| tekonivel-o | bugger, no space on / to update Jaunty to Karmik | 02:28 |
| * tekonivel-o sighs | 02:29 | |
| fumbles | Dr_Willis: It's a new hardrive so I believe the UUID's will | 02:29 |
| fumbles | I could just copy the custom_40 file from my /etc/grub.d/ | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | fumbles: the tune2fs command can change uuids :) that may be easier then finding all the other places where UUIDs are used. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all.. | 02:29 |
| Brandon_ | I just installed 9.10 it won't boot normally, just in recovery mode. I had a problem with the /dev/disk/by-uuid directory being missing in the busybox shell, but that seems to be fixed. Now it hangs at the progress bar. How can I see normal text for the boot? (I've removed quiet and splash in grub) | 02:30 |
| fumbles | I could just update the UUIDs too...the os_prober will find the other operating systems as well as my custom_40 :x | 02:30 |

| wrektjet | i know i can kill it all java apps and open a new one but id really ratrher not nooneinhere | 02:50 |
| blakkheim | ae86-drifter: not use a DE | 02:50 |
| blakkheim | ae86-drifter: or what geitenneuker said :/ | 02:51 |
| nooneinhere | wrektjet, what do you mean you want to "open" a process? If the process has a GUI and it's not opening up then something is wrong | 02:51 |
| ae86-drifter | blakkheim, ok i understand, it is a server pc, i rarely go into DE anyways, only to edit text files etc.. | 02:51 |
| hari_ | I again | 02:51 |
| Wilabob | undecim: OK, it says mount: can't find /dev/sda6 in /ect/fstab or /ect/mtab | 02:51 |
| hari_ | haha | 02:51 |
| Joeseph | ae86-drifter: What other programs do you have installed? I decided on a puppy linux install when I had 128 megs of RAM.. I've heard LXDE is lighter than XFCE though. | 02:51 |
| X-Sleepy-X | happy_: Can't say for sure since I deleted the history... Oh, well. I'm grateful for your help on this matter. :D | 02:51 |

| eric_3 | hey i have an xubuntu with a WLAN and LAN card. I also have a windows xp w/ a LAN card. there is no ethernet port near the Windows XP. i was wondering if i could route the Windows XP ethernet through the Xubuntu and use it's WLAN to connect to the network. Is this possible? | 02:52 |
| geitenneuker | use gentoo thats fast | 02:52 |
| wrektjet | nooneinhere i guess its a bug then. whenever my comp reboots i cant get to the gui | 02:52 |
| undecim | Wilabob: can you post the output of "sudo fdisk -l" to pastebin, with comments explaining what each partition is | 02:52 |
| ae86-drifter | Joeseph, i have heaps of programs installed, it runs fairly quickly, just when i have more than 4 or 5 windows open it starts to lag a bit | 02:52 |
| eric_3 | help? | 02:52 |
| nightfrog | ae86-drifter: a server with gui? | 02:52 |
| happy_ | geitenneuker: I you trying to find gentoo converts on teh ubuntu channel? | 02:52 |
| Wilabob | undecim: I can't get on the internet without installing drivers with ndiswrapper | 02:53 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Although I think that error may just been a typo on your end. | 02:53 |
| ae86-drifter | nightfrog, its a server, yes but i also have a dedicated server which is seperate and more powerful, but i need this as a workstation occasionally hence the GUI | 02:53 |
| eric_3 | undecim: when you are done i would like to speak with you is that ok? | 02:54 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Okay I'm looking for a partition that says linux on the side? | 02:54 |
| nightfrog | ae86-drifter: ok | 02:54 |
| joshua__ | anybody got a X -> vnc translator that implements xrender? | 02:54 |
| ae86-drifter | nightfrog, i like redundancy... i have about 6 linux boxes set up here | 02:54 |
| undecim | eric_3: sure. | 02:54 |
| eric_3 | thanks | 02:54 |
| hari_ | mmm i have a problem my printer does not print | 02:55 |
| Wilabob | undecim: But I know for sure that it's sda6 because it has 50GBs and that's what my linux partition has | 02:55 |
| crankharder | what /dev/* should I be looking for my USB exteral drive to be on? | 02:55 |
| Joeseph | ae86-drifter: Yeah, my xubuntu install is not utilizing my graphics card fully, so I'm considering going to LXDE even with 528 megs... I've heard they're trying to start a canonical supported lubuntu release after Lucid. | 02:55 |
| joshua__ | crankharder /dev/sda?? | 02:55 |
| joshua__ | sorry, /dev/sd?? | 02:56 |
| crankharder | joshua__: nope, not there | 02:56 |
| ae86-drifter | Joeseph, cool, i really like LXDE, its got more than enough features for a desktop | 02:56 |
| Wilabob | undecim: What should I do now? I still get that error when I type sudo mount /dev/sda6 | 02:57 |
| hari_ | yes I again my problem with cups | 02:57 |
| undecim | Wilabob: We need to know what each of your partitions are supposed to be. | 02:57 |
| undecim | Wilabob: take a look at fstab on your root partition | 02:58 |
| hari_ | the message says "client-error-document-format-not supported | 02:58 |
| Q_Continuum | Question on Evolution mail filtering. I want to use a wildcard in the mail filter, so I can have two entries: *@domain.com and *@*.domain.com - but it doesn't seem to function. | 02:59 |
| Wilabob | undecim: I don't see fstab when I view my root partition. There's bin, boot, dev, ect, home... Just to name a few | 02:59 |
| hari_ | anyone who knows about this | 02:59 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Sorry. I meant /etc/fstab. | 03:00 |
| Clark3934 | I know that USB drives are not automatically mounted by default in Ubuntu Server Edition. However, if I install ubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu server edition, does this mean that they are now automatically mounted? Thanks. | 03:00 |
| hari_ | please print took hours trying to no avail | 03:00 |
| Joeseph | ae86-drifter: Well, Since I'm thinking about it.... Would you recommend installing LXDE via the alternate CD, or just installing lxde in addition to XFCE, (I have enough hard disk space.) | 03:00 |
| ae86-drifter | Joeseph, just install "lubuntu-desktop" through synaptic ;) | 03:01 |
| Wilabob | undecim: don't see it under "f" there's firefox-3.0 firefox-3.5 fonts and foomatic | 03:01 |
| Joeseph | ae86-drifter: Alright. I'll probably try that later. Thanks. | 03:01 |
| hari_ | heeelp!! | 03:02 |
| keepsake | ? | 03:02 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I think you are looking in the wrong place. You need to use the file browser to look at the main partition of your installed system and read the file /etc/fstab with a text editor. In there will be auto-generated comments (lines starting with #) explaining each partition. | 03:03 |
| eric_3 | hari_ what type of printer is it? | 03:03 |
| ae86-drifter | hari_, has it worked to begin with? | 03:03 |
| ae86-drifter | it better be a brother printer | 03:03 |
| hari_ | the printer is hp deskjet d2360 | 03:04 |
| eric_3 | my thought was epson becuase my dad had to change things in .config for it | 03:04 |
| eric_3 | sorry | 03:04 |
| ae86-drifter | brother printers suck to install, especially since 8.10 | 03:04 |
| keepsake | Didn't Brother release Linux drivers? | 03:05 |
| ae86-drifter | yes, but you need to mkdir /usr/share/[model] | 03:05 |
| ae86-drifter | and roll back libpoppler | 03:05 |
| hari_ | mmm my ubuntu is 9.10! | 03:05 |
| ae86-drifter | then install LPR driver | 03:05 |
| keepsake | Oh yeah, it's the CUPS/LPR stuff =\ | 03:06 |
| hari_ | ok | 03:06 |
| ae86-drifter | then install cupswrapper driver | 03:06 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Ha! Found it... It was hidden | 03:06 |
| keepsake | I got mine to work, but that was awhile ago =X | 03:06 |
| kraitos | does anybody know if songbird supports mp3 players? | 03:06 |
| undecim | Wilabob: So you understand now what each of your partitions are? | 03:06 |
| PinkFreud | yep, kdm did the trick | 03:06 |
| PinkFreud | headless display manager works now. | 03:07 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Yep, but I already knew what each of my partitions are for... | 03:07 |
| cg | is there a way to create + run virtual machines via command line in karmic server edition? | 03:07 |
| eric_3 | undecim: are you free? | 03:07 |
| undecim | eric_3: still helping out Wilabob. | 03:08 |
| eric_3 | k sorry | 03:08 |
| Wilabob | undecim: it says / was on /dev/sda6 during installation and /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installation | 03:08 |
| Wilabob | undecim: and swap was on /dev/sda7 | 03:08 |
| === jon is now known as Guest89270 | ||
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, so now in a terminal, type "mount | grep sda6" to find out if and where the root partition is mounted. | 03:10 |
| lotus | hi, how can I make the led on my usb drive turn off from the command line? | 03:10 |
| Wilabob | undecim: OK, it went through and nothing happened | 03:11 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, now type this command exactly: "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt" | 03:11 |
| Wilabob | undecim: done | 03:12 |
| undecim | lotus: I don't think it is possible to do that. | 03:12 |
| eric_3 | lotus: sounds like an interesting question. I am not an expert but i think that it is a hardware thing. But it may be that the os controls that | 03:12 |
| Maximiliano | buenaas | 03:12 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, now type this command: "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 03:12 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Im sorry, wait. | 03:12 |
| lotus | undecim: why? The right-click safely remove usb drive option does just that | 03:12 |
| superjet_busy | is there a packages list that ubuntu dropped after or before rsync from debian? | 03:13 |
| eric_3 | that just ubmounts it | 03:13 |
| lotus | eric_3: I think it might be a hardware thing, but somehow the OS is able to make that happen | 03:13 |
| undecim | Wilabob: type this command: "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot" | 03:13 |
| undecim | lotus: That's because it stops the device. | 03:13 |
| lotus | eric_3: not true. When I unmount it manually, the light doesn't turn off | 03:13 |
| Wilabob | undecim: done | 03:13 |
| lotus | undecim: how can I stop the device by hand? | 03:13 |
| undecim | lotus: if that's what you meant, you can use "sudo unmount [device or path]" | 03:13 |
| eric_3 | when you click safley remove (bad spelling) it just unmounts it so no data or power is sent to it | 03:13 |
| eric_3 | k sorry | 03:14 |
| lotus | undecim: eric_3: I've tried that, it doesn't kill the light :D | 03:14 |
| keepsake | lotus: What about "umount"? =P | 03:14 |
| undecim | Wilabob: okay, now type "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" | 03:15 |
| lotus | keepsake: yah that's the command i was issuing. Are you saying unmount is different? | 03:15 |
| ouyes | how is the support of ubuntu to dual core cpu ? | 03:15 |
| keepsake | lotus: Nah, I'm pretty sure it's just umount. | 03:15 |
| ae86-drifter | ouyes, its good | 03:15 |
| ouyes | ae86-drifter, how you know that ? | 03:15 |
| keepsake | ouyes: Personally I've had issues with the 32-bit, but the 64-bit works flawlessly. | 03:15 |
| undecim | lotus: Come to think of it, that makes some sense... I think maybe there is a DBus call that can be used. After I'm done helping/talking with some people, I'll look for it. | 03:16 |
| ae86-drifter | ouyes, because i use ubuntu | 03:16 |
| lotus | keepsake: yah. I did a "sudo umount /dev/sdb*" and the light is still on | 03:16 |
| eric_3 | perhaps it is still connected when you do that thus allowing for re mounting on other users but when you safley remove it assumes that you are not going to connect to it again. Tell me, when you click safely remove can you remount w/ out having to pul out dirve and put back in? | 03:16 |
| ouyes | keepsake, so you think it better to use 32bit ? | 03:16 |
| lotus | undecim: cool thankyou :D I found something about a suspend command but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. http://elliotli.blogspot.com/2009/01/safely-remove-usb-hard-drive-in-linux.html was the page I found it on | 03:16 |
| crankharder | so if not /dev/sd* where might a USB HD be showing up? | 03:16 |
| crankharder | ls /dev/hd* | 03:16 |
| keepsake | ouyes: Yes, if Ubuntu can detect your cores correctly. | 03:16 |
| lotus | eric_3: I'm not sure let me try to find out | 03:17 |
| Wilabob | undecim: That didn't work, it gave me all the usages for grub-install | 03:17 |
| eric_3 | k | 03:17 |
| Wilabob | undecim: I typed exactly: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/dev/sda | 03:17 |
| lotus | eric_3: no, it's not listed in fdisk -l anymore | 03:17 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I'm sorry... more mistakes from me again. I believe that the = should be a space instead. | 03:18 |
| ouyes | ae86-drifter, keepsake i found that the two core of my dual amd cpu were always at the same usage level 38% or 100%, it seems the ubuntu only recognized them just one | 03:18 |
| ae86-drifter | ouyes, either that or it balances the CPU load! | 03:18 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Nope that didn't work either. | 03:18 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Also, make sure you are getting the space between /mnt and /dev/sda | 03:18 |
| keepsake | ouyes: Do a "sudo cat /etc/proc/cpuinfo" | 03:18 |
| eric_3 | than when you click safely remove it assumes that you are going to take the drive out. And unmount allows you to remount on new user w/ out have to pull out stick | 03:18 |
| eric_3 | does that make sense | 03:19 |
| eric_3 | ? | 03:19 |
| undecim | Wilabob: It's a little difficult to see the spaces on some IRC clients. | 03:19 |
| HandyGandy | I'm running the x64 version of Koala. I installed kde. Now I am trying to uninstall mysql, but apt tries to remove kde. Any idea why? Or if I can fix it? | 03:19 |
| lotus | eric_3: yeah lots of sense. I still want that functionality at the command line, though. I know it's there, but I'm not sure how to invoke it. | 03:19 |
| ouyes | keepsake, no such a file | 03:19 |
| kraitos | does anybody know if songbird supports mp3 players? | 03:20 |
| keepsake | Oops | 03:20 |
| keepsake | my bad | 03:20 |
| keepsake | ouyes: It should be "sudo cat /cpu/procinfo" | 03:20 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Oh, it did something else... It said unrecognized option --root-directory when I left the = in and put a space between /mnt and /dev/sda | 03:20 |
| eric_3 | lotus: i think it must be a hardware thing. I may not be correct though so don't stand by my answer. I think that it might also be the flash drive (hence hardware) because diffrent flash drives only have the light turn on when they are being accessed. | 03:21 |
| ouyes | keepsake, again no such a file | 03:21 |
| betabot | Hey. I have an encrypted home folder (done during install of 9.10,) and today I added a ssh-agent script to my .profile. Now when I log in it graphically prompts me for an id_rsa passphrase... but the one I set doesn't work, and continuing brings me back to the log-in screen. Any suggestions? | 03:21 |
| lotus | eric_3: thanks for the thoughts | 03:22 |
| eric_3 | lotus: any time | 03:22 |
| keepsake | ouyes: What are you running? | 03:22 |
| hari_ | i can't understand | 03:22 |
| keepsake | ouyes: I'm really stupid, also. "sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 03:22 |
| ouyes | keepsake, does the directory cpu exist? | 03:22 |
| betabot | Right now I am logged in as root, and none of the eCryptfs stuff is working | 03:22 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Try "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda" I copied that straight from help.ubuntu.com to make sure that I'm getting the details correct. | 03:22 |

| Xfact | ae86-drifter: ohh means it's not totally safe... | 04:12 |
| keepsake | O__o: Probably outdated | 04:12 |
| O__o | keepsake, so how to solve it? | 04:12 |
| Wilabob | undecim: OK, restarting | 04:12 |
| keepsake | O__o: You'll need to use a different program, like amsn or something. | 04:13 |
| ae86-drifter | Xfact, im not entireley sure, but i think it kills everything running in gnome instead of just killing that actual process | 04:13 |
| keepsake | O__o: Or try updating emesene | 04:13 |
| O__o | keepsake, how to update emsene? | 04:13 |
| Wilabob | undecim: No, that didn't work either.. | 04:14 |
| keepsake | O__o: In terminal, first run "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade emesene" | 04:14 |
| Xfact | there any shortcut key available to run system monitor immediately? | 04:14 |
| mezquitale | m1k3y, if you want to get rid of the kernels the software you want to use i think it's called janitor, if not then just run grub-update | 04:14 |
| m1k3y | thanks man ill check now | 04:14 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Any other suggestions? does it have to be spaced out from the margin? | 04:15 |
| O__o | keepsake, doesnt work | 04:15 |
| O__o | keepsake, nothing to upgrade | 04:15 |
| mezquitale | which one is faster, ubuntu or mythbuntu? | 04:15 |
| Xfact | there any shortcut key available to run 'system monitor' immediately? (like in windows when software get corrupted then ctrl+alt+del, brings 'task manager' to kill the process in graphical way) | 04:15 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, in system>admin>keyboard shortcuts you make your own | 04:15 |
| undecim | Wilabob: can I get a pastebin of your /boot/grub/grub.cfg? (after you've run "sudo update-grub") | 04:15 |
| keepsake | O__o: Can you check your version of emesene? | 04:15 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Yep one sec | 04:16 |
| ouyes | mezquitale, both ,it depends on your hardware | 04:16 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I will brb. I have to log out and back in to fix something I messed up :) | 04:16 |
| Xfact | anyone can tell me the command of system monitor or where to get the app 'system monitor' in my pc?? | 04:17 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, read what i told you ffs | 04:17 |
| Out_Cold | oh wait... sorry | 04:17 |
| ouyes | Xfact, go to system>admi>monitor | 04:18 |
| Xfact | Out_Cold: yes i've read that already but in shortcut section it's asking for the command of system monitor first to add.... | 04:18 |
| Out_Cold | he wants the command name of system monitor | 04:19 |
| undecim | stupid buggy ATI drivers.... | 04:19 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Did I miss anything while I was gone just now? | 04:19 |
| ouyes | i donnot know | 04:19 |
| O__o | emesene 1.0.1 | 04:19 |
| Wilabob | undecim: nope | 04:19 |
| ouyes | you miss a lot of lines | 04:19 |
| Xfact | I think this is the proper command of system monitor '/usr/bin/checkbox-gtk' | 04:19 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/355331/ | 04:20 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, that's not it | 04:20 |
| O__o | keepsake, emesene 1.0.1 | 04:20 |
| keepsake | O__o: The latest version is now 1.6. | 04:21 |
| Xfact | out_cold: sorry i think this one 'gnome-system-monitor' | 04:21 |
| O__o | how to update it? | 04:21 |
| Out_Cold | yes | 04:21 |
| Out_Cold | gnome-system-monitor | 04:21 |
| Xfact | YES it was right... | 04:21 |
| alexandros | anybody online? | 04:22 |
| Alf_Stewart | ive installed ubuntu on a usb drive but when it boots up theres a error message that says something about no boot partition or something can someone help? | 04:22 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, you don't need the /usr/bin/ in fron of it either... it looks there by default | 04:22 |
| keepsake | O__o: Go here, and download the file somewhere: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/emesene/download | 04:22 |
| Alf_Stewart | and then it halts on the screen | 04:22 |
| alexandros | ubuntu 9.10 is beta edition or not? | 04:22 |
| keepsake | O__o: Next, browse to where you found the file, and then do "sudo dpkg -i emesene_1.5-1ubuntu1_all.deb" | 04:22 |
| Out_Cold | alexandros, not beta | 04:22 |
| keepsake | alexandros: Karmic is out. | 04:22 |
| jarlath | Alf_Stewart, I had the same problem. There was a bug on launchpad about it but I don't think it's resolved yet. | 04:22 |
| alexandros | ubuntu 9.10 is beta edition or not? | 04:23 |
| alexandros | ubuntu 9.10 is beta edition or not? | 04:23 |
| alexandros | ubuntu 9.10 is beta edition or not? | 04:23 |
| FloodBot1 | alexandros: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:23 |
| Out_Cold | stupid troll | 04:23 |
| Alf_Stewart | jarlath ahh i see | 04:23 |
| keepsake | alexandros: Ubuntu 9.10 is out of beta. | 04:23 |
| Xfact | Out_Cold: I've just clicked on the icon then properties then the command was there | 04:23 |
| Wilabob | undecim: See anything? | 04:23 |
| mzawieska | keepsake, which file system is preferable for xp fat 16 or fat 32? | 04:23 |
| jarlath | Alf_Stewart, it's a shame. It sounds like a great feature. | 04:23 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, let's edit grub.cgf directly for a moment so that this is only a temporary change (i.e will be undone with update-grub), but can you change the colors in likes 46 and 47 of your grub.cfg file to something else? This will tell us if grub is reading your image or not. | 04:23 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, i googled system monitor and cross refferenced it with ubuntu lol | 04:23 |
| keepsake | mzawieska: NTFS, if you can. Otherwise, FAT32. | 04:23 |
| Alf_Stewart | i think it has something to do with grub | 04:24 |
| Xfact | alexandros: it's released as stable but I think it's 'still not totally stable' like beta.... | 04:24 |
| Xfact | lol | 04:24 |
| keepsake | Xfact: The 10 stands for October, so it's been out for months now =P | 04:24 |
| Alf_Stewart | i think when i installed linux i unchecked the box in the installation screen for installing a boot loader on the usb drive i think that might be why..can anyone confirm this? | 04:24 |
| Out_Cold | Xfact, there are always bugs when people modify the OS to their liking.... if everything worked perfect people would get charged to use ubuntu | 04:24 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Okay so what do you want me to do exactly? | 04:24 |
| undecim | Wilabob: For example, replace "set color_normal=light-green/green" with something like "set color_normal=red/blue", then restart and see if you see the color change in grub. | 04:24 |
| keepsake | Alf_Stewart: Of course. If you don't have the bootloader... you can't load Ubuntu =P | 04:25 |
| Alf_Stewart | damn it :) | 04:25 |
| O__o | keepsake, error | 04:25 |
| undecim | Wilabob: but don't change the lines with "menu_color" in them. | 04:25 |
| Wilabob | undecim: okay one sec | 04:25 |
| Alf_Stewart | fresh install here we come :P | 04:25 |
| tcarter | Any one know much abou nvidia geforce graphics card installation | 04:25 |
| jarlath | Alf_Stewart, I'm sorry - I thought you were talking about the USB creator. | 04:25 |
| keepsake | O__o: What's the error? | 04:25 |
| O__o | keepsake, something like python not support | 04:25 |
| keepsake | Alf_Stewart: Haha, good luck! | 04:25 |
| Alf_Stewart | jarlath no problems :) | 04:25 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, ask and if we do, you'll get an answer | 04:25 |
| keepsake | O__o: Ick, python isn't installed. | 04:26 |
| O__o | keepsake, error: dependency is not satisfiable: python-support | 04:26 |
| O__o | keepsake, i have python | 04:26 |
| keepsake | O__o: Run "sudo apt-get install python python-cairo python-gobject python-gtk2 python-support" | 04:26 |
| Xfact | well, Ubuntu promise it'll be free forever, and people always expect perfect product in this time, and ubuntu 9.10 is not that stable as compare to other version till 8.04 | 04:26 |
| Out_Cold | O__o, if it requires python 3 you may break a lot of older python dependent apps | 04:27 |
| O__o | then i may just forget it and install amsn to try | 04:27 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold, O__o: It doesn't require python3 | 04:27 |
| tcarter | I am trying to run the installer for my nividia graphics card. when i run **sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx the** i am asked to specify one of 4 diff types and i don't know the difference between them? Any ideas | 04:27 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold, O__o: At least, I don't think it does >> | 04:27 |
| Xfact | 9.10 doing lots of tik tak toe problems on my computer but I am still happy because it's awesome! | 04:28 |
| keepsake | O__o: Try just "sudo apt-get install python-support" | 04:28 |
| Out_Cold | not sure.. but after installing python3 and symlinking it to /usr/bin/python i almost broke my system.. | 04:28 |
| O__o | keepsake, installing amsn wait | 04:28 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: I'm pretty sure the one in the repos is still 2.6.4 >> | 04:28 |
| Out_Cold | yea... they haven't added 3 i don't think | 04:29 |
| Out_Cold | for good reasons too | 04:29 |
| jarlath | Xfact, I'm convinced that the stability of Ubuntu depends completely on what hardware you're running. It works really well for me. I've had no crashes.. yet. | 04:29 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: Yup, look | 04:29 |

| O__o | keepsake, amsn works | 04:29 |
| O__o | but where is the shortcut? | 04:30 |
| Wilabob | undecim: No that didn't do anything but to change the colour I had to edit the menu lines before | 04:30 |
| keepsake | O__o: Make one =P | 04:30 |
| === sebi_` is now known as sebi` | ||
| Out_Cold | jarlath, i crash all the time.. but my motto is " if you don't break your ubuntu box, you aren't trying hard enough" | 04:30 |
| tcarter | no one has any idea about the nvidia question? | 04:30 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, that means that Grub doesn't like your image file. | 04:30 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, what card? | 04:30 |
| keepsake | O__o: Otherwise, isn't it in Internet or something? | 04:30 |
| tcarter | gt 2203 | 04:31 |
| O__o | keepsake, its not there | 04:31 |
| tcarter | gt220 | 04:31 |
| keepsake | O__o: Do you want one in menu or on desktop? | 04:31 |
| Wilabob | undecim: so... why would they include an image that it didn't like? | 04:31 |
| O__o | i have amsn long time ago, it should be in internet but this time it is not there | 04:31 |
| O__o | of course in the meny | 04:31 |
| devero | yo can anyone help me with a webcam problem ? | 04:31 |
| O__o | menu | 04:31 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, and you don't know which number to install?? | 04:31 |
| undecim | Wilabob: can you make sure that /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2 exists? | 04:31 |
| jarlath | Out_Cold, yikes - that's a real pity. Was it like that on clean install or have you just been 'playing' with it :) | 04:32 |
| Xfact | in 9.10 After installing in update manager it showing I can update my 'gdm' and it's related files' but after updateing on next restart ether, my gnome desktop unavailable or the screen and all the lights of my computer flickering horribly! (scary) thats a big problem :( I am still unknown to the reason... and my hardware is probably 1 yrs old... | 04:32 |
| keepsake | O__o: Go into the menu editor and try adding "amsn" | 04:32 |
| O__o | got it | 04:32 |
| Out_Cold | jarlath, i always play.... mind you that's the beauty of ubuntu.... on fresh installs i never have issues | 04:32 |
| tcarter | out-cold, well i downloaded a driver from nividia ffor my card but cant run the .run file. when i use the terminal i can't tell which of the for it's askig me about to install | 04:33 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Yes, it does. | 04:33 |
| jarlath | Out_Cold, ah ok. | 04:33 |
| keepsake | tcarter: How are you running it? | 04:33 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, wrong way to go about it for a noob..... go to a terminal and type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 04:33 |
| Xfact | anyone can access my desktop through remote desktop? | 04:33 |
| tcarter | the one i have from nvidia...just clicking on the file | 04:34 |
| jarlath | Xfact, that's a pity. I've stuck with Ubuntu because it's always run well for me on my laptops / desktop. But if I was experiencing intermittent trouble I'm sure I'd loose it! | 04:34 |
| keepsake | tcarter: You'll need do "sudo sh /path/to/file" | 04:34 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Then other then the possibility that grub simply CANNOT read that image, I see no reason why it shouldn't display. | 04:34 |
| tcarter | out_cold, got it...i'll give it a try | 04:34 |
| LinuX2half | how do I know if I can run an 64 bit operating system? | 04:34 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, you can also run the script call that keepsake offered | 04:35 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: Well, are you in ubuntu/linux right now? | 04:35 |
| Wilabob | so I should move it to the default grub image location? | 04:35 |
| Out_Cold | LinuX2half, do you have a 64 bit processor? | 04:35 |
| tcarter | out_cold, thanks | 04:35 |
| LinuX2half | How could I check? | 04:35 |
| Out_Cold | LinuX2half, are you in ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: If you're in linux, "sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo" then pastebin the output | 04:35 |
| LinuX2half | Yes I'm running Ubuntu | 04:36 |
| undecim | Wilabob: will your reolution go as small as 640x480? | 04:36 |
| undecim | Wilabob: use the "xrandr" command to list available video modes. | 04:36 |
| LinuX2half | Out_Cold, keepsake: http://www.ubuntu.pastebin.com/d5e49384d | 04:37 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Yeah, it will. | 04:37 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Why? | 04:37 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: I don't think you can go 64-bit on that. | 04:37 |
| Out_Cold | i'm still loading.... bandwidth is buggered today | 04:37 |
| LinuX2half | keepsake: really? So I can only run 32 bits? | 04:37 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Because if grub can't get into gfxterm mode, it won't display a background. | 04:38 |
| Out_Cold | LinuX2half, most definitely 32 bit lol | 04:38 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: Yeah, but to be honest, 32-bit isn't really a big disadvantage or something. | 04:38 |
| zig_ | Oops, sorry. | 04:38 |
| ghufran | hi .. i need some help .. i have 9.1 64 bit installed on my system and suddenly wireless has stopped working (it was working fine earlier) .. also i added some programs in my startup .. they no longer run at startup | 04:38 |
| ghufran | how can i resolve this? | 04:39 |
| LinuX2half | keepsake: why? I thought 64 bit can handle intense cpu level | 04:39 |
| Out_Cold | LinuX2half, 64 bit just uses memory more efficiently when it can | 04:39 |
| tcarter | out_cold, when i ran the script call that keepsake mentioned i got a blue screen that said: ERROR: nvidia-installer must be run as root | 04:39 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, so run sudo sh | 04:39 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: It can, there are issues with compatibility and such; for common users 32-bit is easier. | 04:39 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, which was in his script call | 04:40 |
| tcarter | out_cold, I did | 04:40 |
| kaiser2011 | hello everyone. I just installed ubuntu 64 bit on my laptop. I had something to ask regarding sound | 04:40 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, can you past the command? | 04:40 |
| LinuX2half | keepsake: so then 32 bit have fewer issue than 64 bits? | 04:40 |
| tcarter | out_cold,sh /path/to/file | 04:40 |
| keepsake | tcarter: "sudo sh /path/to/file" | 04:40 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, might have been the case years ago, but ive found that 64-bit is pretty much on par with 32-bit at this point | 04:40 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, sudo sh /path to file | 04:40 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: While that may be true, there are still a lot of programs that need wrappers =\ | 04:41 |
| tcarter | out_cold, ok let me see | 04:41 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, such as? | 04:41 |
| keepsake | LinuX2half: Generally speaking it's like that. | 04:41 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Any suggestions? | 04:41 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Care for another reboot? | 04:41 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: Well, the last time I used Ubuntu, Flash was wrapped, and some other things like webcams. I dunno how it's changed since then though. | 04:41 |
| jarlath | LinuX2half, it's faster for processor intensive stuff like 3D rendering (Blender) and such. But your normal desktop experience won't be noticably faster. | 04:41 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, flash has been native 64-bit player and libraries for well over a year now :) | 04:42 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Sure. | 04:42 |
| undecim | Wilabob: 1 sec... | 04:42 |
| nomnex | SMPayer, when I watch a movie the screen dim to black after 10 min. | 04:42 |

| jarlath | LinuX2half, there's a performance test done here comparing 32bit and 64bit ubuntu http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1%22 | 04:42 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, yeah honestly flash and java id agree with you, but they're solid now. | 04:42 |
| tcarter | out_cold, does this look right: sh /home/tcarter/Desktop/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-190.53-pkg2.run | 04:42 |

| meowbuntu | anyone like linuxmint os | 04:46 |
| chu_ | I believe the appdb message was meant for mzawieska, keepsake mistakingly read his name as yours. | 04:46 |

| scott_ino2 | Voss, yes! | 04:48 |
| titan_ark | hey any idea on how to restart a daemon? n00b here! | 04:48 |
| keepsake | titan_ark: "A" daemon? Which one? | 04:48 |
| titan_ark | power management says i have no battery everytime my notebook goes into sleep | 04:48 |
| Out_Cold | LinuX2half, your bios is specific to the MB... even if you modify/change/erase the OSs your bios is self sufficient | 04:48 |
| titan_ark | so i want to restart powerdevil | 04:48 |
| jamiejackson | titan_ark "sudo /etc/init.d/<daemonName> restart" <= this is how i restart most of them | 04:48 |
| chu_ | Holy!!! keepsake... are you using irssi? I had no idea it supported tabbed completion of nicknames.. That's beautiful. | 04:49 |
| Out_Cold | Voss is gonna win the $1 000 000 | 04:49 |
| Xfact | keepsake: maybe then you have hi fi hardware, in my pc google talk like lite app doesn't work on WINE but I have 9.10 with latest version of WINE installed... :( | 04:49 |
| scott_ino2 | LinuX2half, I don't know the name of it but there's a native linux program,process under development that can flash new bios | 04:49 |
| keepsake | chu_: I'm using mIRC =P | 04:49 |
| scott_ino2 | that works for certain motherboards | 04:49 |
| Voss | Its 10 million now ;-) | 04:49 |
| LinuX2half | Well thanks anyway guys | 04:49 |
| keepsake | Xfact: It isn't perfect, but yeah, Photoshop CS2 runs well on my comp. | 04:49 |
| gotsanity-book | is there any way to check what chipset of touchpad I am using? | 04:50 |
| Xfact | nice | 04:50 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson: it says command not found! | 04:50 |
| keepsake | titan_ark: What did you run? | 04:50 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson: sudo: /etc/init.d/powerdevil: command not found | 04:50 |
| nomnex | how do I know if I can run a ubuntu 64 on my notebook? | 04:50 |
| jamiejackson | titan_ark: remove the colon after sudo | 04:50 |
| Out_Cold | nomnex, try a 64 bit live cd | 04:50 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson, keepsake: sudo /etc/init.d/powerdevil restart | 04:51 |
| titan_ark | is what i ran | 04:51 |
| nomnex | Out_Cold, forgive the question but all the apps like Open Office are compatible 64? | 04:51 |
| keepsake | titan_ark: See if "power-devil" works | 04:51 |
| keepsake | nomnex: Of course. | 04:51 |
| Out_Cold | not all but almost... i am pretty sure open office is | 04:51 |
| mzawieska | anything similar that runs on ubuntu 9 to photoshop for website development? | 04:51 |
| jamiejackson | titan_ark: you can also let it tab complete sudo /etc/init.d/pow... | 04:51 |
| titan_ark | keepsake: same thing! | 04:51 |
| Out_Cold | mzawieska, tried gimp?? | 04:52 |
| Wilabob | undecim: I can't seem to find this line if terminal_output gfxterm ; then true ; else | 04:52 |
| dtb | hey all - how does `sudo` remember that you've already typed your password in? ie: using sudo multiple times in a row only prompts first time for password. | 04:52 |
| scott_ino2 | nomnex, that's one of the strong features of linux, pretty much everything has a 64 bit version | 04:52 |
| jamiejackson | if not, i dunno how. | 04:52 |
| infid | mzawieska: photoshop isnt for web dev, maybe web design | 04:52 |
| jarlath | nomnex, when you install the Ubuntu 64 desktop you get the full install, same as 32 bit, with all those applications. | 04:52 |
| mzawieska | yupp i mean for web design | 04:52 |
| Out_Cold | dtb, there is a 10 minute timeout | 04:52 |
| nomnex | scott_ino2, all, great, got to try it. thanks | 04:52 |
| mzawieska | so anything closed to photoshop? | 04:52 |
| tcarter | out_cold, ok i rebooted but get the same message...what did you mean about logging in gdm | 04:52 |
| Xfact | 'gdm' and 'gdm-setting-daemon' messing my pc when I am updating...any way to get back my pc same as before if gdm does any bad stuff with my pc... (like in windows 'system restore') | 04:52 |
| Xfact | ? | 04:52 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Line 27 in grub.cfg, right after insmod gfterm and insmod vbe | 04:52 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson: damn, power devil doesnt come up in the list | 04:53 |
| xod | hi, | 04:53 |
| keepsake | mzawieska: GIMP or something | 04:53 |
| NFischer | Hi all, how do i stream music through my LAN?! i just set up an gnump3d Server but i dont want a on-demand server but rather an LAN-Radio cahnnel in which i can arbitrarily tune in.. | 04:53 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, what's the error?? | 04:53 |
| xod | how do i play AAC files on exaile? | 04:53 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, GIMP is "similar" to photoshop, I came from photoshop and can now pretty much do everythign i could there in gimp | 04:53 |
| xod | it seems that there's no codec for it available in package manager? | 04:53 |
| scott_ino2 | however... it will take some time to learn a new program | 04:53 |
| === carie is now known as akio | ||
| undecim | Wilabob: actually, I have a better idea than rebooting. | 04:53 |
| Out_Cold | mzawieska, gimp is the closest gnu app to PS | 04:53 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, but gimp is VERY powerful just like photoshop once you learn it | 04:53 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: Personally I'd just Wine it =P | 04:53 |
| tcarter | out_cold, you must be running an X server...you must exit X | 04:53 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, i like open source | 04:53 |
| mzawieska | scott_ino2, u can cut off too and do it to be able to work with dreamweaver | 04:53 |
| Wilabob | undecim: OK, shoot | 04:53 |
| undecim | You said you are chatting with your macbook, rather than the computer we are troubleshooting, correct? | 04:53 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Yeah | 04:54 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: There's also GimpShop which emulates a PS environment. | 04:54 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, slices? | 04:54 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, you need to install via command line then.... | 04:54 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Go to the command line from the grub menu (ctrl+c, I believe) | 04:54 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, also google Pixel32 | 04:54 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, got another computer to chat on?? | 04:54 |
| Wilabob | undecim: OK | 04:54 |
| mzawieska | scott_ino2, so which one do u recommend? | 04:54 |
| undecim | Wilabob: let me know when you're there. | 04:54 |
| tcarter | out_cold, no just this one | 04:54 |
| Wilabob | undecim: K | 04:55 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2, mzawieska: Pixel is not open source, and costs $3x. Use GIMP if you want a starter program. | 04:55 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, well.... you get that error when you try to run the sudo sh command?? | 04:55 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, GIMP can probably do everything you want, however like photoshop, it's a complex program and takes time to master. so depends on how patient you are. | 04:55 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Im here | 04:55 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, i know just letting him know options | 04:55 |
| tcarter | out_cold, yes | 04:55 |
| LinuX2half | Good night... | 04:55 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, well get your pen and paper ready then... | 04:55 |
| jamiejackson | oh well, titan_ark, it's not turning up in google? | 04:55 |
| mzawieska | scott_ino2, thank you :) | 04:56 |
| undecim | Wilabob: okay, type "terminal_output" and tell me what you get. | 04:56 |
| jarlath | Good night LinuX2half. | 04:56 |
| scott_ino2 | mzawieska, np, honestly i hated gimp at first coming from 5+years of photoshop, now it's all I use | 04:56 |
| Wilabob | undecim: gfxterm *console | 04:56 |
| scott_ino2 | but i also took the time to learn it | 04:56 |
| chu_ | GIMP is moving to a single interface on their next major release, maybe you'll want to look into GIMPShop until then? I don't know, learning the multiple window approach to GIMP and then having it changed on you the next version seems a bit silly. | 04:56 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson: i got the same way to do it for restarting processes. just checking up on powerdevil now | 04:56 |
| tcarter | out_cold, got it | 04:57 |
| undecim | Wilabob: type lsmod, and look for "vbe", and "tga" modules in the list. | 04:57 |
| scott_ino2 | chu_, they're seriously doing that? wow can't believe they'd do that after all these years saying how they didnt want a to be a photoshop clone | 04:57 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: I won't deny that Pixel looks amazing though | 04:57 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, i tried it roughly 2-3 years ago | 04:57 |
| scott_ino2 | it's not bad... honestly id just rather use gimp at this point now | 04:57 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: If you get used to it/if you support GNU, it's of course the better option =P | 04:57 |
| NFischer | Hi all, how do i stream music through my LAN?! i just set up an gnump3d Server but i dont want a on-demand server but rather an LAN-Radio cahnnel in which i can arbitrarily tune in.. | 04:57 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, i have no issue with close sourced software really, other than the fact that it usually wont run on linux | 04:58 |
| Wilabob | undecim: How do I go up? a bunch a code covered the screen and I don't see those things. | 04:58 |
| jarlath | Hows Krita coming along these days? It was showing promise last time I checked - about two years ago. | 04:58 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Shift + Page Up? | 04:58 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: That's true. Pixel is also one of the few pay-to-use software I've seen on Linux, although, I have stuck with mostly GNU/freeware. | 04:58 |
| Out_Cold | 1. ctrl+alt+f1 2. log in 3. sudo stop gdm 4. sudo sh /path/to/file 5. sudo reboot | 04:58 |
| chu_ | scott_ino2: http://www.chromecode.com/2009/10/single-window-mode-progress-report.html | 04:58 |
| Wilabob | undecim: nope | 04:58 |
| Out_Cold | ** tcarter ^^ | 04:58 |
| undecim | Wilabob: this could be a problem... | 04:58 |
| scott_ino2 | chu_, thanks for the link | 04:58 |
| tcarter | out_cold, i am ready | 04:58 |
| Wilabob | undecim: ...lol | 04:59 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, 1. ctrl+alt+f1 2. log in 3. sudo stop gdm 4. sudo sh /path/to/file 5. sudo reboot | 04:59 |
| undecim | Wilabob: try "set gfxmode=1024x768" and see if that changes your resolution in grub. | 04:59 |
| philyaw | I did something with themes on Kubuntu and bam, my keyboard didn't work anymore and the bar above windows disappeared to where I couldn't close anything again. I'm about to uninstall if this doesn't seem familiar to anyone. | 04:59 |
| titan_ark | jamiejackson: is it possible to check the version using the version command? | 04:59 |
| chu_ | The single or multiple window interface will be optional. Interesting. Might as well start learning GIMP now :p | 04:59 |
| scott_ino2 | chu_, optional i see :) | 04:59 |
| titan_ark | it gives the same error | 04:59 |
| matelot | ? can someone tell me how to burn mp3 to CD to be played on ordinary cd player ? | 05:00 |
| geitenneuker | burp | 05:00 |
| scott_ino2 | chu_, take the time to learn it, like really learn it. I can pretty much do everything i could with photoshop at this point | 05:00 |
| Wilabob | undecim: no, maybe that's the resolution im in? | 05:00 |
| scott_ino2 | chu_, i still hate how they do text though:) | 05:00 |
| Out_Cold | matelot, try installing k3b | 05:00 |
| tcarter | out_cold, thanks i'll be back shortley | 05:00 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Aright, try "terminal console" and the "terminal gfxterm" to change your resolution | 05:00 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: PS had a nice text-manipulation engine =P | 05:00 |
| Out_Cold | tcarter, good luck ;) | 05:01 |
| matelot | Out_Cold, can Brasero do it ? | 05:01 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, not just that, even making edits to text layers is overly complicated with gimp | 05:01 |
| mcnellis | I'm commanding sudo kill -9 PID but it won't kill my process ... is there something else i need to do? | 05:01 |
| Out_Cold | matelot, never tried.... but i'll check now for you | 05:01 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: What about Pixel? | 05:01 |
| Wilabob | undecim: It says unknown command "terminal" | 05:02 |
| Out_Cold | matelot, the first option "create traditional cd" in brasero sould do it | 05:02 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, what about it? | 05:02 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, i actually still have my code for pixel, i should try it again. | 05:02 |
| matelot | Out_Cold, ah yes, try it now thanks | 05:02 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: You have the source? | 05:02 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Okay, grub is just being a pain now.... Try "rmmod tga" and "rmmod vbe" | 05:03 |
| scott_ino2 | keepsake, let me see if my login still works, i don't think they gave out .src | 05:03 |
| Out_Cold | mcnellis, what are you trying to kill?? you replace PID with a number | 05:03 |
| keepsake | scott_ino2: Ah, I see what you mean. | 05:03 |
| Wilabob | undecim: rmmod tga works but rmmod vbe says no such module | 05:03 |
| mcnellis | Yeah Out_Cold the specific PID is 9805, just didn't include that in my message lol | 05:03 |
| undecim | Wilabob: that's likely the problem then. | 05:04 |
| mcnellis | so my command was sudo kill -9 9805 but the process won't die | 05:04 |
| mcnellis | it's a firefox process | 05:04 |
| Wilabob | undecim: anyway of fixing it? | 05:04 |
| Out_Cold | mcnellis, try this in terminal: ps aux | grep your_app (like wine) | 05:04 |
| undecim | Wilabob: 1 sec... | 05:04 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I need to figure out exactly what vbe does. | 05:05 |
| mcnellis | yeah Out_Cold that's what I used to to find the PID and verify that it's still running after I did "kill -9 9805" | 05:05 |
| FiReSTaRT | undecim: sudo killall process_name | 05:05 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I know it's involved in graphics, but that's the extent of my knowledge on it... brb, google. | 05:05 |
| Out_Cold | mcnellis, i think that one from FiReSTaRT was for you | 05:05 |
| akio | I am using Lucid, but I imagine there is more help here as #ubuntu+1 seems pretty dead right now | 05:06 |
| mcnellis | yeah I tried that too FiReSTaRT used sudo killall firefox | 05:06 |
| mcnellis | still won't die :| | 05:06 |
| unop | mcnellis, what's the state of the process as per 'ps aux' ? | 05:06 |
| akio | keyboard doen't work in X, touchpad does - after safe-upgrade this happened | 05:06 |
| === christian is now known as Guest84798 | ||
| akio | I imagine it has to do with hal removal | 05:06 |
| mcnellis | unop: me 9805 2.0 5.6 983716 215592 ? D 12:59 10:06 /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.5/firefox | 05:07 |
| Guest84798 | /nick chri5 | 05:07 |
| === Guest84798 is now known as chri5 | ||
| Out_Cold | what state is D? | 05:08 |
| undecim | Wilabob: Try changing that "insmod vbe" to "insmod vga" in the config file. | 05:08 |
| unop | mcnellis, state D indicate "Uninterruptible sleep (usually IO)" -- meaning that the process is waiting for some suspended IO to complete, things like a hung disk access, network, etc | 05:08 |
| NFischer | Hi all, how do i stream music through my LAN?! i just set up an gnump3d Server but i dont want a on-demand server but rather an LAN-Radio cahnnel in which i can arbitrarily tune in.. | 05:08 |
| UpgradeOrNot | Hey everyone. I've been thinking about upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04 for a while. Anyone have any specific reasons I should upgrade? | 05:08 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Okay just startin | 05:08 |
| X-722 | Anyone here run ubuntu on an asus eee? | 05:08 |
| DrManhattan | why not? | 05:08 |
| mcnellis | interesting unop ... is there anything i cna do to kill the process? I don't know why it's still running i don't have a window open i just see the process running when i run ps aux | 05:08 |
| usser | NFischer, icecast is one option | 05:09 |
| Out_Cold | mcnellis, try a reboot? | 05:09 |
| undecim | X-722: I set up an eee for my sister. | 05:09 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Where do I find that in the file? | 05:09 |
| === angelus is now known as brishu | ||
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: if all of your hardware is working properly under 9.04, stick with it.. 9.10 was more unstable i.m.e. | 05:09 |
| mcnellis | damn I was hoping that wouldn't be my only option but it seems it is :( | 05:09 |
| X-722 | undecim: Do you recall which model it was? | 05:09 |
| mcnellis | such a pain to launch all my programs again lol | 05:09 |
| Out_Cold | i think that kill has an option to get rid of it... but not sure which one | 05:10 |
| undecim | Wilabob: /boot/grub/grub.cfg If this fix works, we will need to edit other files to make it work after update-grub though. | 05:10 |
| Wilabob | undecim: what line? | 05:10 |
| NFischer | usser, yeah, looks nice, thx! | 05:10 |
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: the only reason i didn't revert to jaunty was that karmic fixed my suspend and got my built-in mic working | 05:10 |
| undecim | Wilabob: 26 | 05:10 |
| Wilabob | undecim: nvm | 05:10 |
| geitenneuker | is there a upnp client available to read DLNA stuff from WMP or such stuff? | 05:10 |
| unop | mcnellis, Out_Cold - you cannot kill a process in state D -- you'll have to wait it out or fix the IO problem | 05:10 |
| braintorch | Hi. Does anybody know how to fix ps cutting process' names in terminal? | 05:10 |
| UpgradeOrNot | FiReSTaRT: One thing me and another user have found is that when 9.10 is loading, that loading bar seems to make it seem slower. :P | 05:10 |
| undecim | X-722: It was a 900 model. 901A, I believe. | 05:11 |
| unop | mcnellis, what was firefox doing before you attempted to kill it? | 05:11 |
| geitenneuker | i thougnt T3000 | 05:11 |
| Out_Cold | lol mcnellis reboot | 05:11 |
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: i've also experienced slower boot and buggy gnome (a couple of applets crapped out on me) | 05:11 |
| UpgradeOrNot | FiRtSTaRT: Yeah I think I'll just stay with 9.04 for now. Thanks. | 05:11 |
| X-722 | undecim: Everything install ok on it? | 05:11 |
| X-722 | I mean, everything work after install? | 05:11 |
| Wilabob | undecim: nothing happened | 05:11 |
| mcnellis | unop: not sure I had just closed firefox before and when I came back to my comp i tried to open it again and got the message that it was still running so I used ps aux | grep firefox and here i am trying to kill it heh | 05:12 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Any other suggestion? I have to go soon | 05:12 |
| mcnellis | i guess it just never properly closed the window? | 05:12 |
| undecim | X-722: Yeah. Even wireless worked out of the box. | 05:12 |
| jonas3 | good day | 05:12 |
| X-722 | undecim: Thank you | 05:12 |
| unop | mcnellis, and did you do a kill -9 right off the bat? | 05:12 |
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: good choice.. i loved jaunty but still had those pet peeves.. had to carry around an extra mic and couldn't suspend first thing in the morning | 05:12 |
| mcnellis | no tried killall firefox first | 05:12 |
| FiReSTaRT | i mean resume | 05:13 |
| mcnellis | it was in state D from the beginning though | 05:13 |
| undecim | Wilabob: I have no idea. other than the fact that the vbe module isn't there, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work, but the vga module should have worked. | 05:13 |
| unop | mcnellis, can you open another instance of firefox? | 05:13 |
| Wilabob | undecim: Damn... I g2g then. Thanks for your help again. | 05:13 |
| mcnellis | unop: only if I launch with the profile manager and use a dif profile | 05:14 |
| x_ | is there a program or terminal code to figure out how hot is my cpu fan? | 05:14 |
| UpgradeOrNot | FiReSTaRT: I remember trying 9.10 a while ago but I didn't like the theme and some of the apps crashed on me. But luckily I have support for all of my hardware, if I ever decided to upgrade in the future. | 05:14 |
| jonas3 | sorry to ask about this (noob here) but i'm having trouble installing my samsung printer on jaunty...can anyone help? | 05:14 |
| unop | mcnellis, strange, guess a reboot is imminent then - it's probably the only thing you can do | 05:14 |
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: exactly.. hopefully they'll iron out the gnome bugs by 10.04.. keeping 9.10 on my media center though.. there it's perfect | 05:15 |
| mcnellis | k thanks for your help unop Out_Cold .... brb :) | 05:15 |
| freaky[t] | is there any good note taking & sharing tool? | 05:15 |
| chuche | It should be automatically recognized once you plug it in. Of course it isn't going to notifiy a la Windows but you can try printing in OpenOffice. | 05:15 |

| Flannel | Darkedge: Have you already installed it? | 05:19 |
| blakkheim | isiah: why not just use ssh as a proxy for your local firefox? | 05:19 |
| mith_ | true, so much easier | 05:20 |
| Darkedge | Flannel: yes | 05:20 |
| FiReSTaRT | UpgradeOrNot: usually doesn't.. im probably the only one with such luck :P | 05:20 |
| Flannel | Darkedge: `dpkg -l | grep bin` would likely list everything. (dpkg -l lists all the files in the package) | 05:21 |
| braintorch | If I run "ps -A" command, "CMD" column is too narrow and cuts programs names. Anybody knows how to fix that? Please? | 05:23 |

| Night0wl | stew: i need something to run just one individual windows program- this is the thing right? | 05:32 |
| hari_ | but i don't know happened | 05:32 |

| hari_ | ?? | 05:33 |
| meowbuntu | anyone used ubun-student before whats it like | 05:35 |
| chu_ | meowbuntu: It's basically like Ubuntu Tweak. | 05:36 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor so do i sudo apt-get install acpi ? | 05:37 |
| bastid_raZor | x_: no, that should be a terminal command | 05:37 |
| meowbuntu | ok whats better ubun-student or ubuntu tweek | 05:38 |
| |_ocke | http://www.chilloutzone.to/video/alle-mann-raus-aus-den-federn.html | 05:38 |
| chu_ | meowbuntu: Well, I thought Ubuntu Tweak is a more mature version. | 05:38 |
| Xaero | so, is 9.10 really unstable, or am I somehow retarded, twice now (once on laptop, second on desktop) it has gotten finnicky with Nvidia graphics drivers, softlocked, and then will not allow me to use the glx module at all after uninstall/reinstall of graphics drivers and reconfiguring in xorg.conf | 05:39 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor i did sudo apt-get install acpi , then i did acpi -Vf it said cooling 0: proccessor 0 of 0 | 05:39 |
| arghh2d2 | 9.10 blows, wait for 10.04 lts to upgrade | 05:39 |
| chu_ | nvidia card here, running 9.10, no issues. Retardation is a possibility? :p | 05:39 |
| arghh2d2 | thought everybody knew that by now | 05:39 |
| arghh2d2 | 9.10 is the retard | 05:40 |
| jonzbcc | .. I have no issues with 9.10 | 05:40 |
| arghh2d2 | so what | 05:40 |
| arghh2d2 | you got lucky | 05:40 |
| bgupta | WOndering if there is an official howto to install KDE in Jaunty, and be able to easily switch back and forth between gnome and kde? | 05:40 |
| bastid_raZor | x_: i have lm-sensors installed and set up.. that may be the difference. | 05:40 |
| arghh2d2 | not everybody has your hardwared | 05:40 |
| arghh2d2 | tards | 05:40 |
| Xaero | chu_ running completely stable? no random compiz lag -> video corruption -> soft lock ->reboot into no working x display and tracing it to the nvidia binary being corrupted, and having to reinstall? | 05:40 |
| jonzbcc | right, me and a ton of other people. | 05:40 |
| chu_ | lol | 05:40 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor how i install lm-sensors | 05:41 |
| chu_ | Xaero: No issues at all fortunately. | 05:41 |
| Diverdude | In ubuntu, i have to go to places->MyDriveLetter in order to mount the drive. Can i somehow make this happen automatically when i log in instead? | 05:41 |
| ouyes | bgupta, i dont think so | 05:41 |
| Xaero | chu_ I'm running a gtx 295, and dual 8600m's and somehow its just acting up consistantly | 05:41 |
| powertool08 | bgupta: sudo apt-get install kde-desktop to install it. | 05:41 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor i did sudo apt-get install lmsensors and its not in there | 05:41 |
| Xaero | I still havn't been able to get GLX working again after it does this | 05:41 |
| chu_ | I guess I'm pretty light on the eye-candy (I only use this expose thing), but yeah seems to be fine. | 05:41 |

| Voss | Xaero, what nvidia driver? | 05:42 |
| Xaero | spits out about 10000000 Missing GLX extension messages, even though the glx module is in my xorg.conf >< | 05:42 |
| NFischer | Whats the difference between "command &" and "command & disown"? it has the same effect as it seems..? | 05:42 |
| bastid_raZor | x_: lm-sensors | 05:42 |
| chuche | Download a package in Synaptic called pysdm. | 05:42 |
| chu_ | I'm not entirely sure what I am speaking of, but I heard something about 9.10 "moving" away from the xoeg.conf? I don't know, I just remember some people taking about it perhaps. | 05:42 |
| powertool08 | bgupta: I was wrong, its kubuntu-desktop not kde-desktop | 05:42 |
| chuche | The program calls itself Storage Device Manager. | 05:42 |
| Xaero | Voss, I used both the driver reccomended by the "restricted drivers" app and the latest Nvidia card | 05:42 |
| jonzbcc | dandaman: ps (actually, I like top) | 05:42 |
| powertool08 | !kde > bgupta | 05:42 |

| Hilikus | is there any setting to start emacs NOT in split mode? | 05:42 |
| neild | Hi just got a computer with a Intel Celeron E3200 CPU... should I use the 64bit version of ubuntu? | 05:43 |
| Voss | Xaero, ok which versions are those? | 05:43 |
| Xaero | neild: no | 05:43 |
| chuche | Not with a celeron. | 05:43 |
| powertool08 | bgupta: As far as switching, last time I used gdm it had an option at the login screen to change your session. | 05:43 |
| chuche | Sorry | 05:43 |
| Xaero | voss: lemme check | 05:43 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor what is the command to run it? | 05:43 |
| bastid_raZor | x_: you have it installed? | 05:43 |
| x_ | bastid_raZor ya | 05:43 |
| bastid_raZor | !lm-sensors | x_ | 05:43 |
| ubottu | x_: To access CPU temperature sensors and detect fan speeds, install the lm-sensors package. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto for installation and usage instructions. | 05:43 |
| bgupta | powertool08: That's what I thought. | 05:44 |
| Xaero | Voss: 185.xx (doesnt say in restricted-drivers) & not sure about the newer driver that I installed, i deleted the installer after I rolled back to this driver | 05:44 |
| bastid_raZor | x_: that site can give you much more detailed information. | 05:44 |
| meowbuntu | neighter ubun-student or ubuntu tweak are in repos | 05:44 |
| Voss | Xaero, so which one is working? | 05:44 |
| meowbuntu | ^ or synaptic | 05:44 |
| neild | Xaero: thanks | 05:44 |
| powertool08 | bgupta: Just a warning, the kubuntu package will install alot of stuff, libraries, programs, etc. | 05:44 |
| chu_ | meowbuntu: Not sure how I got it. Google for ubuntu tweak .deb ? | 05:44 |
| Xaero | Voss: both of them worked fine, for a while, and eventually it starts to hiccup (GPU less than 60C) and eventually graphics stutter and it soft-locks | 05:45 |
| bgupta | powertool08: I know, I did it once (what seems like) ages ago with gutsy.. just been awhile. | 05:45 |
| bgupta | powertool08: thanks again | 05:45 |
| powertool08 | bgupta: no problem | 05:45 |
| NFischer | Whats the difference between "command &" and "command & disown"? it has the same effect as it seems..? | 05:46 |
| Xaero | Voss: after rebooting, i get an unusable display error from X, and even after reconfiguring X it doesnt work correctly, but theres an error about loading the Nvidia kernel module, so I assumed it probably got corrupted somehow, and just purged & reinstalled the driver to get back in to a live X session | 05:46 |
| Voss | Xaero, what program are you running when it does that? | 05:46 |
| meowbuntu | sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubun-student/ppa does not work in ubuntu 9.10 | 05:46 |
| tcarter | Can anyone tell me why when i use ctrl+alt+f1 and try to login i get an incorrect login message | 05:47 |
| meowbuntu | ^ im trying to install this http://pastie.org/774552 | 05:47 |
| arghh2d2 | tcarter: mispelled something? | 05:47 |
| arghh2d2 | tcarter: caps lock is on? | 05:48 |
| Xaero | Voss: the four or five times its happened, its been different programs, the only common factor is compiz. Its crashed on gmplayer; Totem; a game via Wine; and while doing some GPU-accelerated folding | 05:48 |
| tcarter | arghh2d2, nope neither of those | 05:48 |
| Voss | xaero, then turn off desktop effects | 05:48 |
| ouyes | when i watch a movie 720p(1280*720) i see two black bar on the top and the bottom of my screen, but my resolution was 1280*800, there should be only 80 pixels black ? what is wrong? | 05:48 |
| ardchoille | Wait, there's an easier way to add a PPA in Karmic than manually editing sources.list?! | 05:49 |
| meowbuntu | hello any ideas y these commands wont work | 05:49 |
| Xaero | Voss: I still don't see how compiz could possibly be causing the issue, its never given me issues with this GPU before... >< | 05:49 |
| ardchoille | When did that happen? | 05:49 |
| jamiejackson | How do I debug this apt-get kernel package installation error? http://jamiejackson.pastebin.com/f3975c285 Is there a way to look at the init script of the package, or something? | 05:49 |
| fata_erro | hi my server is getting hack attempts lots and i would like to stop uneeded services can anyone help? Here is my service list http://pastie.org/774581 | 05:49 |
| Xaero | Voss: I'll try that for a while, however, I still am unable to get my GLX module to load again | 05:49 |
| Xaero | >< | 05:49 |
| ouyes | anybody can explain it to me? | 05:49 |
| meowbuntu | ardchoille, how can i do that | 05:49 |
| Flynsarmy | Is there an implimentation of pulseaudio for win7? I had a working one for XP but it doesn't seem to work on 7... | 05:50 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: No idea, this is new to me too | 05:50 |
| edbian | fata_erro: What makes you say you're getting hack attempts? | 05:50 |
| ouyes | Flynsarmy, ubuntu channel mat | 05:50 |
| Flynsarmy | ouyes, figured ubuntu guys would have more of a clue than windows guys | 05:50 |
| zvacet | meowbuntu : if you added repo then sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9320B41C sudo apt-get update | 05:50 |
| fata_erro | edbian: logs | 05:50 |
| arghh2d2 | fata_erro: paste the logs | 05:51 |
| ouyes | Flynsarmy, you are right , ok | 05:51 |
| neild | Can the desktop version allow you to create and install to a RAID 1 setup? | 05:51 |
| undecim | fata_erro: You are getting a lot of hits on your SSH server, huh? | 05:51 |
| edbian | fata_erro: Are you talking about ssh login attempts? | 05:51 |
| fata_erro | ya /var/log/auth.log | 05:51 |
| edbian | fata_erro: Check out this neat little package: "denyhosts" | 05:51 |
| fata_erro | and my site logs | 05:52 |
| edbian | !denyhosts | 05:52 |
| fata_erro | ok | 05:52 |
| fata_erro | thanks | 05:52 |
| edbian | fata_erro: I use it for denying ssh hackers. It's great! | 05:52 |
| meowbuntu | ardchoille, zvacet its ok i had a typo its installing now | 05:52 |
| fata_erro | i'm getting 4 - 10 diff people a day | 05:53 |
| ardchoille | meowbuntu: so all you have to do to add a ppa is sudo apt-add ppa? | 05:53 |
| Hose | join ubuntu.pl | 05:53 |
| undecim | fata_erro: SSH servers get attacked a lot. I run my ssh server on a non-standard port to prevent this. | 05:53 |
| * powertool08 seconds the non-standard port idea, coupled with denyhosts | 05:53 | |
| undecim | fata_erro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/InstallingConfiguringTesting#Start%20sshd%20on%20a%20Different%20Listening%20Port | 05:54 |
| powertool08 | fata_erro: And pubkey authentication only. I feel fairly safe between those three. | 05:54 |
| Xaero | Voss: I just updated to 190.53, and... well, i think they need to change which driver they reccomend as the default for 9.10 | 05:54 |
| meowbuntu | aryes just like in the pastie i sent | 05:54 |
| Xaero | Voss: the video is smoother than it has been since I installed Karmic | 05:55 |
| ardchoille | !packages | 05:55 |
| ubottu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 05:55 |
| nightsjammies | Oh good. Finally. | 05:55 |
| fata_erro | thanks for the tips i going to get denyhosts running | 05:55 |
| ardchoille | !PPA | 05:55 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 05:55 |
| powertool08 | fata_erro: There's also fail2ban, similar to denyhosts but I've never tried it. | 05:56 |
| nightsjammies | I got a Microsoft wireless mouse from a pawn shop today, and at first it worked, but now, nothing. | 05:56 |
| nightsjammies | I know the battery is good. Do I need to install any libs for it to work? | 05:56 |
| Parabola | no | 05:57 |
| nightsjammies | Hrmm.. | 05:57 |
| Parabola | hotplug should take care of it | 05:57 |
| powertool08 | fata_erro: I think it comes this way by default, but double check sshd_config for Permit Root = no and Protocol = 2, protocol 1 is weak and well, root shouldn't be logging in. | 05:57 |
| Parabola | do you have anything else in the room thats wireless? | 05:57 |
| Parabola | pretty much everything runs at 2.4ghz | 05:57 |
| Parabola | also, you could try another PC, or at least another USB port | 05:58 |
| nightsjammies | hotplug? | 05:58 |
| nightsjammies | No, I don't think so. | 05:58 |
| nivas | what does mean Time to Live??? | 05:58 |
| ikaro007 | hi i have a problem with my laptop toshiba, when i use ubuntu 910, the machine gets very warm and it doesnt happen when i use windows | 05:58 |
| j03lar50n | so I have two servers (both with small HDD's 30GB). i want to tar compress a folder on one but store the archive on the other. how do i command this via ssh? | 05:59 |
| j03lar50n | ikaro007 maybe your fan controller isn't recognized in Ubuntu? | 05:59 |
| powertool08 | nivas: Every time a packet goes through a switch or router, its time to live is reduced by one. | 05:59 |
| Parabola | j03lar50n good call | 05:59 |
| Parabola | nightsjammies, just try it | 05:59 |
| Parabola | you bought a mouse at a pawn shop, it may just be broken | 06:00 |
| nightsjammies | I did just try it. | 06:00 |
| powertool08 | nivas: If this number is too small and the packet hits lots of routers and the ttl hits 0, the packet times out and fails. | 06:00 |
| nightsjammies | I know. It was only a few bucks. | 06:00 |
| Parabola | the fact that its wireless doesnt matter | 06:00 |
| === cpg|brb is now known as cpg | ||
| nightsjammies | I tried another port | 06:00 |
| nightsjammies | Okay. | 06:00 |
| Parabola | the receiver does that bit :) | 06:00 |
| Parabola | do you have another computer you can try it on | 06:00 |
| ikaro007 | j03lar50n, what can i do | 06:00 |
| nivas | powertool08: Thanku | 06:00 |
| nightsjammies | I just tried to connect using the connect buttons. | 06:00 |
| nightsjammies | Nope. | 06:00 |
| ouyes | when i watch a movie 720p(1280*720) i see two black bar on the top and the bottom of my screen, but my resolution was 1280*800, there should be only 80 pixels black ? what is wrong? | 06:00 |
| Parabola | ouyes lol... | 06:01 |
| ouyes | Parabola, what? lol what you mean , | 06:01 |
| j03lar50n | maybe look into what fan controller/device you have - see if it has support in Ubuntu. Try to obtain that info in Windows via Device Manager or SIW. That's about all I know though sorry | 06:01 |
| ouyes | laugh out loud? | 06:02 |
| ouyes | Parabola, laugh out loud? | 06:02 |
| nightsjammies | what's hotplug? | 06:03 |
| ouyes | Parabola, what does lol stand for anyway? | 06:03 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: Maybe its playing in another aspect ratio? There's 16:9 and 16:? something else close to 16:9, but different enough for bars. | 06:03 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: laugh out loud. | 06:03 |
| Flannel | powertool08: 16:10 is the other one | 06:04 |

| bullgard | Two Ubuntu 9.10 computers. On both says Update Manager: "Your system is up-to-date." Still, one presents a 'man update-grub' of 2001, the other of 2009. Why is the former not up-to-date? | 06:04 |
| Junkyard | Not sure why... Is there any alternate way to install pidgin | 06:04 |
| nightsjammies | trinity | 06:04 |
| Flannel | bullgard: Are you sure they're both 9.10? and the old one isn't 8.04? | 06:04 |
| j03lar50n | I have two (remote) servers at work. Both have small HDD's, 30GB, and I can't fit the tar archive of the folder I want to compress on the server it's on. What command can I pass through SSH to archive the folder from one server to the other? | 06:04 |
| ouyes | Parabola, are you a robot? | 06:04 |
| edbian_ | Junkyard, Go to their website and get the source code or a .deb | 06:05 |
| brishu | Junkyard, yes there is, you can get the .deb from http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/ | 06:05 |

| pallu | how can i add a nested X session on my desktop? | 06:07 |
| NFischer | powertool08, shoots.. how can i deinstall then? | 06:07 |
| Flannel | sleepy-cat: use adduser instead. And it's easier to just use a two step process. One to create the user (adduser username) then the next to add them to the admin group (adduser username admin) | 06:07 |
| pallu | hello every one | 06:07 |
| powertool08 | NFischer: You have to uninstall with 'make uninstall' in the same directory you ran 'make install' | 06:07 |
| NFischer | i see | 06:08 |
| meowbuntu | i am stuck on that | 06:08 |
| NFischer | thx | 06:08 |
| sleepy-cat | Flannel, that will make him the admin ? | 06:08 |
| powertool08 | You're welcome | 06:08 |
| meowbuntu | a.deb package should just install right | 06:08 |
| Flannel | sleepy-cat: That'll give them access to sudo, yes. | 06:08 |

| Flannel | SillyTalker: There is, on the download page | 06:15 |
| SillyTalker | i need to google myself the latest 64bit version... | 06:15 |
| SillyTalker | Flannel: where did they hide it? | 06:16 |
| Flannel | SillyTalker: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download radio buttons on the right hand side select your version | 06:16 |
| eminor | hello :) | 06:16 |
| Flannel | SillyTalker: Also, every mirror has them along side the 32bit ones (if you just jump to a mirror file list instead) | 06:16 |
| SillyTalker | Flannel: seriously there is no radiobutton, only a dropdown to select the server | 06:16 |
| rww | SillyTalker: Click "Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for Windows" | 06:17 |
| Flannel | SillyTalker: Under that, there's a radio button for ... hmm, ok, apparently with javascript enabled it hides it by default. hit "alternative download options" and then it shows up | 06:17 |
| SillyTalker | rww: aaaaaaaaaah :) i didnt notice that, they should make that a bit clearer imho | 06:18 |

| nightsjammies | Hey, I've got a question. I want to install linux on an old gateway tower. I'm not sure how old it is, but it has a sticker on it thsat says something about windows NT. Which ditro should I use? | 06:20 |
| edbian_ | nightsjammies, Try the Ubuntu live CD and see how it runs. If Ubuntu is too much for it look at DSL or Puppy ;) | 06:20 |
| kinja-sheep | nightsjammies: Make it a server. :) | 06:20 |
| edbian_ | DSL = Damn Small Linux | 06:20 |
| nulled | Wine is completely uniqiue, so ya | 06:21 |
| nightsjammies | Server? | 06:21 |
| nightsjammies | What is the closest to Ubunut? | 06:21 |
| nightsjammies | *Ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| edbian_ | nightsjammies, DSL and Puppy are both pretty equally far from Ubuntu in my opinion. If you're looking for a lightweight ubuntu I suggest xbuntu | 06:22 |
| nightsjammies | xbuntu? | 06:22 |
| nightsjammies | Okay. | 06:22 |
| edbian_ | nightsjammies, Yep :) Ubuntu with xfce | 06:23 |
| rww | nightsjammies: Ubuntu Server is the closest server distribution to Ubuntu :\ | 06:23 |
| edbian_ | nightsjammies, Ubuntu Server is Ubuntu ;) | 06:23 |
| nightsjammies | I've never used a server before. | 06:23 |
| nightsjammies | And okay. | 06:23 |
| kinja-sheep | edbian_: Xubuntu is not lightweight IMO. :< | 06:23 |
| edbian_ | kinja-sheep, It's more lightweight than gnome isn't it? | 06:24 |
| nightsjammies | Should I go with 9.10? | 06:24 |
| rww | edbian_: not particularly | 06:24 |
| Raj | how can i verfiy a iso file ? | 06:24 |
| rww | !md5 | Raj | 06:24 |
| ubottu | Raj: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 06:24 |
| kinja-sheep | edbian_: XFCE, sure. Xubuntu, no. :P | 06:25 |
| DrManhattan | my ubuntu install doesn't recognize my ide cdrom - intel g31 chipset with an sata HD - is there a solution for this yet? | 06:26 |
| DrManhattan | its a dual boot with win7 and win7 has no issues with the cdrom | 06:26 |
| nightsjammies | Shoot, still no luck with mouse. | 06:26 |
| kinja-sheep | DrManhattan: You got more than one CDROM? | 06:27 |
| DrManhattan | No. | 06:27 |
| DrManhattan | there's nothing physically wrong with the drive. | 06:27 |
| kinja-sheep | DrManhattan: Same thing for me. I wasn't able to install it using first drive but I could make do with second drive. Weird issue, I know. | 06:28 |
| DrManhattan | I got it installed using a usb drive | 06:28 |
| DrManhattan | but I would like to enable the drive in my OS | 06:28 |
| Dravekx | how do I uninstall something Ive installed? | 06:29 |
| arghh2d2 | win7 is a little b!tch that likes to mess with linux installs | 06:29 |
| infid | i created /home/infid/bin and put a program in it but it's not being read by my path. any idea why? | 06:29 |
| edbian_ | Dravekx, There are mutliple options. Would you like to know the GUI way or the CLI way? | 06:29 |
| infid | i know i can add it to my PATH but shouldnt linux do this by deafult | 06:29 |
| powertool08 | infid: You have to adjust your $PATH variable, or you could symlink it to the /usr/bin folder. | 06:30 |
| Dravekx | edbian_, via ssh... i installed using sudo apt-get install... hwodo I uninstall? | 06:30 |
| ikarus__ | . | 06:30 |
| edbian_ | Dravekx, sudo apt-get remove <packageName> | 06:30 |
| Flannel | Dravekx: sudo apt-get remove --purge ... | 06:30 |
| edbian_ | Dravekx, sudo apt-get purge <package> will remove the configuration files as well | 06:30 |
| edbian_ | Dravekx, Configuration files are usually found in /etc | 06:31 |
| Dravekx | k. :) | 06:31 |
| edbian_ | Dravekx, No problem | 06:32 |
| powertool08 | Speaking of /etc, whats the best way to backup those config files? /home is easy, I want to keep everything in it. However I can do without a large number of the files in /etc. | 06:32 |
| Flannel | powertool08: Did you manually change anything in /etc? | 06:32 |
| maco | powertool08: i usually backup all of /etc anyway. its only a couple mb total | 06:33 |
| edbian_ | powertool08, They might be a large number of files in /etc but the actual size on the disc is probably relatively small | 06:33 |
| powertool08 | Flannel: A few things. Enough that I don't want to list them for backup one at a time unless I have to, but not enough to grab the whole directory. | 06:33 |
| kinja-sheep | powertool08: 10MB at most. | 06:33 |
| maco | powertool08: mine is 18mb | 06:33 |
| infid | powertool08: ubuntu's ~/.profile already has code that sets PATH to include $HOME/bin if it exists, yet it doesnt seem to work for me | 06:33 |
| friend1 | hi | 06:33 |
| infid | powertool08: nm i have to resource it | 06:34 |
| maco | powertool08: (i also have a lot of stuff installed) | 06:34 |
| Flannel | powertool08: If they're just minor changes, it might just be worth it to note the changes in a text file in your home. And yes, as other people have said, etc is rather small. | 06:34 |
| powertool08 | maco: This is true, I was just thinking, lots of files, more space taken than necessary. | 06:34 |
| arghh2d2 | powertool08: /var/cache/ | 06:35 |
| powertool08 | arghh2d2: What about it? | 06:36 |
| arghh2d2 | powertool08: i thought you were looking for directories taking up unnessecary space | 06:38 |
| bullgard | Flannel: On both computers: '~$ lsb_release -a; No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID:Ubuntu; Description: Ubuntu 9.10; Release: 9.10; Codename: karmic' | 06:38 |
| powertool08 | arghh2d2: No, just complaining about the lack of efficiency in backing up all of /etc for just a few files. Then I was reminded of how little /etc is. :) | 06:39 |
| arghh2d2 | yeah, /etc is mostly made up of little text files | 06:40 |
| Dextronaught | ppl awake? I need some help on something really easy. | 06:41 |
| powertool08 | arghh2d2: Yep, not sure why that didn't occur to me. I guess I just figured why backup the stuff I don't want to restore. | 06:41 |
| Flannel | bullgard: Alright, can you pastebin the output (of the machine with old grub man page) of the following: uname -a && apt-cache policy grub libc6 | 06:42 |
| powertool08 | Dextronaught: We'll be the judge of that :p | 06:42 |
| Dextronaught | well | 06:42 |
| Dextronaught | I need to connect to my vpn | 06:42 |
| Dextronaught | I'm on ubuntu | 06:42 |
| Dextronaught | it's not an option to add...? | 06:42 |
| Dextronaught | like... top-right, I click configure VPNs or w/e | 06:43 |
| Dextronaught | and... the Add tab is grey | 06:43 |
| Dextronaught | I just installed ubuntu today, am I missing some drivers? | 06:43 |
| powertool08 | Dextronaught: Maybe a vpn client isn't installed? | 06:43 |
| Dextronaught | know any? | 06:43 |
| Dextronaught | like, good names | 06:43 |
| powertool08 | Dextronaught: I used a command line one, vpnc IIRC. | 06:44 |
| Seveas | Dextronaught, network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-vpnc for openvpn resp. cisco vpn | 06:44 |
| arghh2d2 | powertool08: i have two 6.5 gb partitions for / i just back everything up except for /home | 06:44 |
| Dextronaught | ok, 1 second, and ty btw | 06:44 |
| Seveas | Dextronaught, if you have a different vpn (juniper crap for example), you're out of luck | 06:45 |
| powertool08 | arghh2d2: Except home? All your personal files on a different file server or something? Or do you just not care if you lose them? | 06:45 |

| asdd | how do i see all the hidden folders ? '." ? | 06:47 |
| jackson | install / boot | 06:47 |
| Dextronaught | umm, Idk what you mean by network-manager | 06:47 |
| Dextronaught | where's that? | 06:47 |
| kinja-sheep | asdd: CTRL + H in nautilus | 06:47 |
| arghh2d2 | powertool08: /home is on a seperate partition so the only way i'll lose it is if the harddrive physically dies | 06:47 |
| kinja-sheep | jackson: http://www.panticz.de/MultiBootUSB | 06:47 |
| powertool08 | arghh2d2: Ok, hope your drive doesn't die then. | 06:48 |
| Seveas | Dextronaught, looks like pptp. Better google a howto for that. I haven't seen it before but it's definitely not handled by the plugins I mentioned. | 06:48 |

| c_nick | i want to connect to a remote computer.. i need to figure out the host name there.. how should i do that | 06:48 |
| Dravekx | anyone using joomla? | 06:49 |
| maco | c_nick: ask its owner? | 06:49 |
| kinja-sheep | c_nick: Check out the IP in web router configuration | 06:49 |
| Dextronaught | ok, thanks Seveas | 06:49 |
| jackson | kinja-sheep, does this only apply to linux distros? can you boot a windows iso also? | 06:49 |
| c_nick | no i dont want to connect using the ip address | 06:49 |
| punto | Flannel: for moving to a new version of ubuntu (kubuntu actually) | 06:49 |
| Seveas | Q: Which protocols may I use to connect to Ipredator? Does protocols like OpenVPN or SSL connections work? | 06:49 |
| Seveas | A: Currentley we only offer connections using the PPTP protocol. However, we are looking into offering additional protocols in the future. | 06:49 |
| c_nick | i am trying to figure out my own host name :D | 06:49 |
| Seveas | Dextronaught, so it's pptp. there's network-manager-pptp I believe. It may work | 06:50 |
| kinja-sheep | jackson: I don't know. I don't use Windows. (and I'm not sure if you can boot Windows off USB.) Ask ##windows for that one. | 06:50 |
| maco | c_nick: type "hostname" on that computer then | 06:50 |
| c_nick | i can connect to myself using username@ipaddress.. but i would like to have the host name too | 06:50 |

| Awesome3000 | is there any reason to use the latest kernal | 06:50 |
| bullgard | Flannel: http://pastebin.com/f3b062d51 | 06:50 |
| maco | Awesome3000: if you know that some hardware you need is supported in it but not in whatever kernel you're currently using, yes | 06:50 |
| firefly2442 | I've tried some of these options already : http://www.linux.com/archive/feature/48910 | 06:51 |
| chu_ | Awesome3000: More likely to support newer hardware in some cases? For instance, in newer kernels there's a lot of interest in wireless and acpi improvements, this isn't in older versions so much | 06:51 |
| powertool08 | c_nick: You can use 'whois ipaddy' to find out the dns name of it. | 06:51 |
| Awesome3000 | maco actually the latest kernal is causing a driver error | 06:51 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | Actually, I like TokBox for Adobe Air, but it doesn't give me the option to flip the video, obviously. | 07:02 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: if nothing, try 1 instead of - | 07:02 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Maco: I'll give it a try. | 07:02 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: instead of 0, i mean | 07:02 |

| SillyTalker | maco: cooooool i didnt know that was possible | 07:03 |

| geirha | meowbuntu: sudo blkid /dev/sda6 | 07:17 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: try "sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo" then "sudo modprobe uvcvideo vflip=1" | 07:17 |
| docmax | hello, since some weeks standby on my laptop is working only sometimes. how can i fix it? the screen goes black, but the laptop doesent standy... | 07:17 |
| powertool08 | skyl: I have an Sound Blaster Audigy ZS 2 and I'm happy with it, its always been easy to setup (disabling the onboard sound was the hardest part) but I only have a 2.1 speaker system so I can't vouch for the other channels working or not. | 07:18 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | FATAL: Error inserting uvcvideo (/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/uvc/uvcvideo.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) | 07:18 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | My camera is no longer detected. | 07:19 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: dont worry | 07:19 |
| nick[0] | skyl: depends what you want to use it for...games, surround sound, upgradable opamps, for headphones? for speakers? spdif out? | 07:19 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: yes, because "modprobe -r" is unload the driver and then we were tyring to reload it with vflip=1 | 07:19 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: if you just "sudo modprobe uvcvideo" itll be back to normal | 07:19 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Oh. Okay. | 07:19 |
| nick[0] | skyl: recording? low latency? cleanest sound possible? | 07:20 |
| skyl | nick[0], synthesis and recording with JACK mostly, right | 07:20 |

| skyl | I've got it pretty well working with the onboard sound but I suspect it could be better | 07:20 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: .profile | 07:21 |
| nick[0] | skyl: so you just need a card to monitor your synthesis, or do you need to use it to record? | 07:21 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Or, for system wide, use update-alternatives | 07:21 |
| skyl | nick[0], yeah, record, playback and record, mulitrack, ardour, jack, jack-rack, LADSPA, synthesizers | 07:21 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | It's not very recent, but I was looking for solutions and it seems a lot of people who have Asus notebooks referred back to this guide. | 07:23 |
| skyl | nick[0], midi is good but I have a little usb thing that works really fine for that | 07:23 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | maco: ? | 07:24 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: it involves patching and recompiling a kernel module....so it'd need to be redone after every kernel update :-/ | 07:24 |
| Wyt | for legal reasons? | 07:25 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | maco: That would be thoroughly unpleasant. | 07:25 |
| nick[0] | skyl: this is what my friend and I use -> http://www.m-audio.ca/products/en_ca/Delta44.html ,which we found on ebay (wicked deal) if you need XLR, the 192 or the 2496 might be more appropriate | 07:25 |
| maco | Wyt: yes | 07:25 |
| maco | ThatGuyOverThere: yeah... | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | Wyt: Broadcom won't allow Ubuntu to distribute the firmware needed for he b43 driver to work ( the driver itself is already installed ) | 07:25 |
| Wyt | fair enough, so you're saying if i hook it up to a wired connection it should be able to download and install/activate the driver on its own? | 07:25 |
| Jordan_U | Wyt: Yes | 07:25 |

| skyl | usb? | 07:28 |
| skyl | oh, yeah maudio | 07:29 |
| bullgard | Jordan_U: '~$ update-alternatives --display PAGER; update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for PAGER.' -- '~$ cat .profile | grep PAGER' does not produce output. | 07:29 |
| skyl | yeah, def don't want hassle, I'm throwing-away/giving-away/selling a nice echo layla that worked okay on linux a couple of years ago but since support has been dropped and recompiling alsa and whatnot burned me a couple of weeks ago | 07:30 |
| nick[0] | skyl: for serious audio production, don't use usb for anymore more than a monitor. Some people say it's not even good enough for that. This said, external electronics mean that there's less EMI interference | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: Lower case for update-alternatives, and if you don't set $PAGER explicitly in .profile it uses the version set in update-alternatives | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | bullgard: So it's not there by default, you have to add "export PAGER=foo" yourself ( in ~/.profile ) | 07:31 |
| skyl | nick[0], but the firewire/pci/etc stuff works nearly as hassle free on linux? | 07:31 |
| nick[0] | skyl: I hate it when that happens... | 07:31 |

| nick[0] | skyl: this is Studio 8.04LTS 32bit though...it's worth finding out of anything newer causes issues, or if there are any weird 64bit driver bug (google) | 07:35 |

| Jordan_U | bullgard: np | 07:36 |

| Jordan_U | !virus | cobra679 | 08:11 |
| ubottu | cobra679: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 08:11 |
| ardchoille | cobra679: you don't need that | 08:12 |
| One`` | I don't have any blank CDs, and don't want to go out to buy some. Only have blank DVDs, but the computer won't boot from the SATA DVD drive but will recognise it during the boot process. | 08:12 |
| ardchoille | One``: you can burn a cd image to a blank dvd with no problem | 08:12 |
| Jordan_U | One``: Do you have a USB drive? | 08:13 |
| One`` | But you can't read a DVD with a CD drive. | 08:13 |
| jussi01 | powertool08: please dont send people to #ubuntu-dev (or #ubuntu-devel for that matter). the channel is strictly for development of ubuntu, not support. | 08:13 |
| One`` | I don't have a 2GB USB drive. | 08:13 |
| ardchoille | One``: ah, good point | 08:13 |
| pwnedulongtime | linux don't need no AV.....rootkits kickass | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | One``: Do you have any size USB drive? | 08:13 |
| One`` | 1GB | 08:13 |
| Jordan_U | One``: Can your computer boot from USB? | 08:13 |
| One`` | Yes. | 08:13 |
| cobra679 | maybe | 08:13 |
| ouyes | powertool08, you made one of the best answer | 08:13 |
| powertool08 | jussi01: Sorry, wasn't aware of that. Would #ubuntu+1 be a better place for ouyes to ask about future hardware support? | 08:13 |
| cobra679 | im having hot dogs tonight | 08:14 |
| Jordan_U | One``: Then follow the installation from flash drive instructions in the link from ubottu | 08:14 |
| One`` | I followed the instructions for booting from USB memory, but apparently 2GB is the minimum | 08:14 |
| ouyes | powertool08, is it ? | 08:14 |
| XBlackChaosX | hi. i just installed ubuntu 9.10 alongside windows 7. This is my first time messing with linux. Im trying to edit the grub menu but i dont know how can anyone please help. Thank you. | 08:14 |
| Jordan_U | One``: Where does it say that? | 08:15 |
| jussi01 | powertool08: #ubuntu+1 is for the next release of ubuntu, so perhaps. Depends on the actual question, although its much like looking into a crystal ball. | 08:15 |
| zvacet | !grub | XBlackChaosX | 08:15 |
| ubottu | XBlackChaosX: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 08:15 |

| jussi01 | cobra679: sudo apt-get install amsn | 08:17 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | oh my god | 08:19 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | that was a massive netsplit | 08:19 |
| powertool08 | c_nick: cp *.* /path/to/target/folder | 08:19 |
| pwnedulongtime | epic netsplit | 08:19 |
| ouyes | powertool08, it is released already, i am just wandering you guys always lost behind the latest hardware tech | 08:19 |
| c_nick | powertool08: cannot stat *.* | 08:20 |

| rudi | ]why? | 08:22 |
| One`` | Hurrah, I got the DVD drive working.. perhaps I can install Ubuntu now. | 08:22 |
| ouyes | powertool08, why all of a sudden, so many joins ? | 08:22 |
| Jordan_U | One``: I need to leave now so I don't have time to check those instructions completely to be sure that you don't in fact need a 2 GIG flash drive when using those instructions. I am 95% sure those instructions don't require 2 GIG though, and if they really do, I am 100% sure that these ( much more complicated ) instructions will work fine with 1 GIG: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 | 08:23 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: Somebody said there was a netsplit, I didn't notice it though | 08:23 |
| powertool08 | !netsplit > ouyes | 08:23 |
| ubottu | ouyes, please see my private message | 08:23 |
| Awesome3000 | !netsplit | 08:23 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 08:23 |
| c_nick | well its still not working properly be back later :) | 08:24 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | Robot, how long have you been using linux? Brand new? | 08:24 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Or just new to ubuntu? | 08:24 |
| Robot | not entirely new. messed around with it a bit | 08:25 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: You can hide parts and joins if you wish, it makes large channels more manageable. | 08:25 |

| powertool08 | ouyes: Its just a bunch of little things picked up over time. I don't consider myself a guru compared to many people here. | 08:28 |
| Awesome3000 | XBlackChaosX Maybe your grub is installed somewhere else? Are you using Grub not Grub2 | 08:28 |
| zvacet | XBlackChaosX: witch version do you use karmic or jaunty | 08:28 |
| cobra679 | so what do you guys do with ubuntu | 08:28 |

| XBlackChaosX | Awesome3000, its grub 2. is there a way to go to grub 1? | 08:30 |
| powertool08 | ouyes: I've trashed an install or three in my time ;) | 08:30 |

| Shaolu | Awesome3000: I figured he was already on the command-line, gksudo would be if he's using Alt + F2 or something. | 08:33 |
| ][ce | you all got reemed | 08:34 |

| Aragami | yes | 08:39 |
| Shaolu | And you're changing the resolution through there, right? | 08:40 |
| XBlackChaosX | how can i find out which device ubuntu is on sda, sdb, etc | 08:40 |
| Shaolu | Now are you saying the resolution doesn't change immediately or that it does change immediately but resets itself when you log back in? | 08:40 |
| Makaveli | hello I am thinnking of switching to Ubuntu, but I have a question in regards to the drive. In windows, we have C D, E and F drive, so when I switch from XP to windows vista, I just format C drive, but In ubuntu I am afraid there is an option like that. Am I wrong.. please enlighten me a noobie | 08:41 |
| Shaolu | Because if it's the latter, you need to "Save to X Configuration File" | 08:41 |
| Aragami | when y try to change rez y sez y dont have enaf right | 08:41 |
| Shaolu | You don't have enough what? | 08:41 |

| kjelle | Shaolu: i dont want to mix in gnome in my kde. but, im about done with kde, so in the future i'll probalby turn to gnome :p | 08:44 |

| Makaveli | @ zvacet I just want to use Ubuntu from now on | 08:44 |

| DJones | kjelle: I'm using karmic, but I've stuck with pidgin because it suits my use better, it connects to pretty much all the different chat proctols so should cover anything you need | 08:47 |
| zvacet | Makaveli: it is little bit different than win linux use root home ... not c,d,e | 08:47 |
| powertool08 | pillow: if you compile, use checkinstall so its easy to uninstall | 08:47 |
| Shaolu | Makaveli: Just select the partition for C and have Ubuntu installed on it, overwriting everything on it while selecting the other partitions to be left alone. | 08:47 |

| gazra | Hello, does anyone know where I can find infos about cloud computer services. Differences between Google, Amazon, Ubuntu, etc clouds? | 09:01 |
| MASARUwota | gazra: wikipedia? | 09:03 |
| ardchoille | gazra: That's a very interesting idea and one I feel the rest of the community needs to know as well. Perhaps you can post this question at http://ubuntuforums.org | 09:03 |

| MASARUwota | XBlackChaosX: windows is not a linux kernel dude | 09:08 |
| MASARUwota | XBlackChaosX: did you run sudo update-grub | 09:08 |
| MASARUwota | ? | 09:08 |
| gazra | OK, then, I just want to make clear it was not my intention to bather anyone, I really though it was ubuntu related | 09:08 |
| coz_ | gazra, no problem :) | 09:09 |
| XBlackChaosX | no i didnt let me do that. this is my first time using linux so this is all new and hard for me. im a windows guy | 09:10 |

| dandaman | why was i under the impression that ubuntu netbooks were supposed to be significantly cheaper than windows ones? | 09:19 |
| drizzt__ | dandaman, Ubuntu systems are not cheap, because they are not popular | 09:19 |
| ouyes | Heval, you tried to make a connection but failed ? how it failed like? | 09:20 |

| drizzt__ | adityag, and why 7.10? It;s not even supported now | 09:27 |
| ouyes | Heval, is there a wireless interface in the output? | 09:28 |

| ynef | meowbuntu: "dist-upgrade" is a different method of upgrading than using "upgrade", the difference being that "dist-upgrade" tries to perform an update in a more intelligent way, rather than just getting all the latest versions for all programs (which is what "upgrade" does) -- the man page for apt-get is quite good for this (open a terminal window, and write "man apt-get" to learn more) | 10:09 |

| unr3a1 | one of the posts in that link I sent you the dhcpd.conf file has a setting for the kernel version. | 10:37 |
| chipgeri | <neil1> i dont have cd with me...are there any other way to fix it? | 10:38 |
| neil1 | llutz: thanks | 10:38 |
| unr3a1 | viliny, but you need to find the actual conf file, the one you sent is just a sample. if you have a /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file that one needs to be configured. | 10:39 |
| viliny | unr3a1: thats the file im trying to use as the conf file... not everything there is commented. I have no existing /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file | 10:39 |
| viliny | also, there is no kernel specifying lines in that file as you can see... | 10:40 |
| unr3a1 | that's weird then. is your router setup properly? | 10:40 |
| unr3a1 | also make sure you are running this command as sudo | 10:41 |
| unr3a1 | brb... afk | 10:41 |
| V1k1n9 | Hi, I want to use Elinks with spidermonkey, how can i do that plz ? :) | 10:42 |
| chipgeri | is there any way to rename /etc1 to /etc without the cd? by mistake renamed /etc to /etc1 | 10:42 |
| viliny | unr3a1: no, not yet it isn't - i was trying to cure the problem of the dhcp-server that wouldn't want to start... but i'l have to try again once i get home and can change the network to the final setup where the ubuntu machine would then be the dhcp server instead of the current hardware boxes. As i understood it my problem here now is the fact that the machine is still in another network than it will be once everything is set up co | 10:42 |
| === kkszysiu is now known as aaaasasa | ||
| unr3a1 | viliny, AH. That would be culprit then. You need to make sure that the network subnet is the same on both the router and your computer. | 10:44 |
| V1k1n9 | Is it possible to print the content of an iframe with Elinks plz ? | 10:45 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | was wondering where do I change the what to do when I insert a blank cd option? cause I have picked something and checked the do not ask again option and now would like to change it?????? | 10:46 |
| llutz | chipgeri: you can try to add "root=foobar" to grub options line at boottime. it should throw you into a initranfs-shell, maybe you can use it to rename your /etc1, not sure | 10:46 |
| Dextronaught | where should I ask for help if I don't have sound? | 10:47 |
| hubbix | all sharing works now yay ubuntu,osx and windows :) | 10:48 |
| unr3a1 | alright, well, i am out. ttyl | 10:51 |
| rethus | hi there, i wan't to migrate from suse to ubuntu. Now i have two hdd. one 80GB (can be erased completly) and one 320GB wit my home/partition and other partitions for suse. | 10:51 |
| rethus | what is the best way to set up ubuntu with my old /home-Partition? | 10:52 |
| rethus | should i use the 80GB for Root & boot? the 320 only for /home? | 10:52 |
| rethus | what are clever partition-structures? | 10:52 |
| Sagaci | rethus: just don't touch it at the formatting step | 10:52 |
| Dextronaught | I currently don't have any sound, I'm using a laptop computer, my audio drivers are Realtek HD I do believe, I can't access alsamixer on terminal. | 10:53 |
| rethus | sagaci: what u mean? don't understand | 10:53 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | rethus, that sounds goood to me..your first comment | 10:53 |
| hateball | rethus: typically, you'd not use more than 20GB for /, but seeing as you have two disks to spare... and unless you want to mess with LVM, I'd do like you suggested yourself :) | 10:54 |
| Dextronaught | oh, and I'm using ubuntu, the latest version, 9.10? | 10:54 |
| zoobox | I have changed to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes in /etc/default/bootlogd and thought that ubuntu should write to /var/log/boot while it starts... but it doesn't. what am I doing wrong? | 10:55 |
| rethus | hateball: i think about to use the whole system on 320GB and use the 80GB as Backup-hdd, or to have two hdd to improve performance (one wis OS, other with /Home | 10:55 |
| llutz | zoobox: using karmic that seems to be upstart-related. you'd need package sysvinit for bootlogd, i don't know if that interferes with upstart | 10:55 |
| mahiti | can any body help me installing 3d desktop | 10:56 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | rethus, how do u back up 320GB part on an 80GB one? | 10:56 |
| hateball | rethus: Well there's two aspects... most likely the bigger one is faster, but you're more likely to use that space for personal data. One option would be to partition the 320GB and use the 80GB for rsync/backup | 10:56 |
| rethus | ShazbotMcNasty: only data which i need | 10:56 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | also..i was kidding | 10:57 |
| L3dPlatedLinux | lol | 10:57 |
| zoobox | llutz: aha, perhaps I need to install some package? (and no I'm using an older version of ubuntu, 7.10 or something) | 10:57 |
| Dextronaught | I currently don't have any sound, I'm using a laptop computer, my audio drivers are Realtek HD I do believe, I can't access alsamixer on terminal. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 (or the latest) | 10:57 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | just type super slow bcus onscreen keyboard | 10:57 |
| steveccc | can anyone tell me if a program exists that will read a dvd bit by bit and create an iso image | 10:57 |
| rethus | hateball: k. thats what i think to do. But how can i migrate tu ubuntu on such way, that i have a fallback to old suse partition, if something not work? | 10:58 |
| llutz | zoobox: do you have "sysvinit" installed? | 10:58 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Dextronaught, why no alsa? | 10:58 |
| Dextronaught | Idk, I type that and nothing happens | 10:58 |
| Dextronaught | uhh, let me paste what it says | 10:58 |
| Dextronaught | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 10:58 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | :/ | 10:59 |
| rethus | format the 80Gb and installing ubuntu on a partition which is exactly sized like the root of SUSE and copy than the suse to 80GB and overwrite /root with ubuntu from the 320 GB ? | 10:59 |
| rethus | don't know how to take this migration-Step. | 10:59 |
| zoobox | llutz: no but "upstart-compat-sysv" is installed. "compatibility tasks and utilities that emulate the behaviour of the original sysvinit package" | 10:59 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Dextronaught, i would totally help you, but im using onscreen keyboard | 11:00 |
| llutz | zoobox: look for the package containing bootlogd in 7.10, which btw is outdated (apt-file search bootlogd) | 11:01 |
| Dextronaught | aww, that's horrible lol | 11:01 |
| Dextronaught | why? | 11:01 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | and i need to be doing homework :< | 11:01 |
| Dextronaught | :((((((((( | 11:01 |
| zoobox | in the file /var/log/boot I can read the text "(Nothing has been logged yet.)" from 2007-10-16 (must have been during install of ubuntu I guess) | 11:01 |
| zoobox | ok I look | 11:01 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | book on desk - keyboard put away | 11:01 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | SO i cant irc lol | 11:02 |
| zoobox | llutz: no match. | 11:02 |
| rethus | so i could do it like that (maybe): Installing Ubuntu on the 80GB hdd. | 11:03 |
| rethus | copy all data from 320GB /home to 80GB /home and try if all work. | 11:03 |

| mswl | what can i use to use a "replace in files" in file texts? | 11:03 |
| rethus | if all work, i could copy 80GB / to 320GB / ? | 11:04 |
| rethus | would this work? | 11:04 |
| lewnidas_ | lewnidas | 11:04 |
| rethus | menas, maybe i have to copy /boot too | 11:04 |
| rethus | what u think | 11:04 |
| === buck is now known as napster | ||
| zoobox | llutz: and yes I know this version of ubuntu is outdated, but before I reinstall with a new version, I want to save the text that is written during start of ubuntu. | 11:05 |
| llutz | zoobox: there are some still unsolved bugreports about that. but sorry canot help you yet.gtg | 11:05 |
| Slart | mswl: I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean.. you want to replace a phrase in one or more files with some other phrase? | 11:06 |
| Slart | mswl: all files are regular text files | 11:06 |
| mswl | Slart, right | 11:06 |
| rethus | would it work, if i copy whole / and /boot of ubuntu to my 320GB disk? Would this result in a working system, of have i to do something other (grub etc.)? | 11:06 |
| Slart | mswl: try sed, possibly awk | 11:06 |
| mswl | thanks Slart | 11:06 |
| Slart | mswl: you're welcome | 11:06 |
| meowbuntu | i have just forn playonlinux another free application like wine. anyone know which is better | 11:07 |
| Endure | I installed another ubuntu-based distro, (it installed grub with it). Grub detects my main ubuntu distro (9.10) but whenever I select to boot it, screen goes blank at just sits with a blinking '_' in the top left | 11:07 |
| meowbuntu | forn = found | 11:07 |
| Endure | Can anyone help? | 11:07 |
| viliny | Endure: with what? | 11:07 |
| meowbuntu | !ask | Endure | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Endure: 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. :-) | 11:07 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: I'm guessing that playonlinux is based on wine in some way | 11:07 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, am not sure | 11:08 |
| Endure | I'm not sure how to fix it - would setting the original ubuntu partition so it boots first fix it? If so, how would I do it?\ | 11:08 |
| Slart | meowbuntu: which is best would depend on what you're going to use it for, what features you require.. try them both and see which one you like | 11:08 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ | 11:08 |
| viliny | PlayOnLinux is based on Wine, and so profits from all its possibilities yet it keeps the user away from its complexity while exploiting some of its advanced functions. | 11:09 |
| rethus | ok, now i'm in sense of ubuntu... installing it on my desktop 80GB disk :) | 11:09 |
| Endure | Or could I repair grub on the original ubuntu installation? I've tried that, but it always boots from the second grub | 11:09 |
| rethus | means kubuntu | 11:09 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, also http://wiki.winehq.org/PlayOnLinux | 11:10 |
| viliny | Endure: are you sure you didn't... overwrite the previous installation with the new one? | 11:10 |
| Endure | I'm sure, I can mount the original with a live cd / new inst. | 11:10 |
| meowbuntu | Slart, very interesting playonlinux seems to be a front end for wine. | 11:11 |
| viliny | well, open the grub boot list and make sure the locations it is booting from are correct is my guess here | 11:11 |
| razif | hello | 11:11 |
| theadmin | meowbuntu: Which It is | 11:11 |

| theadmin | neowbuntu: Kinda confusing, but runs my games nicely. | 11:12 |

| meowbuntu | theadmin, better than wine itself | 11:12 |
| sint | hey, when running apt-get update, i have a couple of "Ign" messages. could this be a problem? | 11:13 |

| meowbuntu | razif, paste the error on pastbin | 11:13 |

On 8080GB is my old /home... and if i can use rsync, this would couase in much less copy-processes, cause not such much has changed... or u think its better to completely copy home from 320GB again? | 11:49 |

| c_nick | lord_hypnos: try sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/lord (here lord is a manually created folder in /media) | 12:28 |
| ferry | ShazbotMcNasty: it will install drivers!! i can do it another way.. just click the right button on *.run package and allow executing it as a programm.. but after i install drivers.. karmic will crash!! | 12:28 |
| c_nick | do you have any data there? | 12:28 |
| cobra679 | i fuck cunts on the weekend only | 12:29 |
| lord_hypnos | im on live cd right now c_nick | 12:29 |
| ReginN | haha | 12:29 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ferry, than I'm sure you've got the wrong drivers | 12:29 |
| lord_hypnos | ill try it but i have to log in | 12:29 |
| ferry | ShazbotMcNasty: so that is why i need .deb packages.. there are not any other drivers))= | 12:29 |
| c_nick | well it will work on that too | 12:29 |
| c_nick | i suppose.. live cd is nothing but a live session running via ram.. | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ferry ATI recently dropped support on a lot of old legacy video card | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | s | 12:30 |
| c_nick | i think u can pretty much do everything on it | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | so if you've got too old of a card, then you can't use the new distros | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | because there is no driver | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | well, you CAN | 12:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | it's just a lot of work | 12:30 |
| c_nick | lord_hypnos: just try to manually accessing the folder if u can | 12:30 |
| c_nick | folder = linux drive sdb1 | 12:30 |
| AceKing | What command do I use to see what format my linux drive is? Like if it's ext.3 ext.4. | 12:31 |

| overclockingInfe | Hello and goodmorning! | 12:32 |
| garymc | Hi, ive had this problem before, and again i dont know how to fix it. Now ive created Launchers for all client desktops they work fine when a new user logs on. Great. But as i created them with my account and i double click on one i want to load in firefox with is http://localhost/admin it doesnt work for me only. It opens gedit instead. why is this only doing this for me? | 12:32 |
| lord_hypnos | c_nick, if i try to mount it it tells me that i have to put in the type of file system | 12:32 |
| === overclockingInfe is now known as oclock_inferno | ||
| ferry | ShazbotMcNasty: it is possible.. but on T400 it is working.. so i will do step by step and it will work for me too... the only thing is.. i need to build those packages from *.run.. and i am looking for someone who can download catalyst then make packages and send back to me all the deb packages it will build.. cause my karmic is not building any)))= | 12:32 |
| c_nick | lord_hypnos: whats the command you are using | 12:32 |
| bimberi | /part | 12:32 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | well then | 12:33 |
| lord_hypnos | c_nick mount /dev/sdb1 into a folder i created | 12:33 |
| c_nick | so whats the precise feedback | 12:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | a deb. package does prettymuch the same thing as a .run file... | 12:33 |
| ferry | ShazbotMcNasty: you will help me to buld them?? | 12:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | No. | 12:33 |

| happy_ | sravan_: yep | 12:35 |
| sravan_ | oh...Are you using Karmic ? | 12:35 |
| lord_hypnos | c_nick it should be ext3 but i think the problem is that it thinks that its a different type | 12:35 |
| main | use cfdisk | 12:35 |
| happy_ | sravan_: 9.10, is that karmic? lol | 12:36 |
| AceKing | happy_, I tried mke2fs -T and it still gave me the same options :( | 12:36 |
| oclock_inferno | happy_ yes | 12:36 |
| c_nick | lord_hypnos: yes even i think that.. because it says..Linux ern something | 12:36 |
| c_nick | tried googling that ? | 12:36 |
| sravan_ | happy_, : yeah, but why are the files getting struck in btn in my comp ???? | 12:36 |

| Andy80 | I'm using ubuntu Karmic and I've a strange problem with audio: applications lock the audio among themselves. I explain better: for example I'm watching a video on youtube and then audio stop working on Vagalume (last.fm client) or viceversa I use Vagalume and then audio doesn't work on Firefox/youtube. I often use a game using wine and if I first launch it I've no problem, but if I launch it after having watched a video, the audio does | 12:37 |
| Andy80 | n't work. Can you understand the problem? | 12:37 |
| happy_ | sravan_: btn? | 12:37 |
| c_nick | lord_hypnos: do you see sdb1 there ? | 12:37 |
| sravan_ | happy_ :Sorry=between | 12:37 |

| c_nick | your disk might be corrupted.. donno.. if u dont have data on it then unmount and format using gparted.. and selecting ext3 | 12:39 |
| happy_ | sravan_: I do not understand what is going on... | 12:39 |

| rob_p | mleger: I rarely use sound on my Linux boxes. Most are colocated server boxes. I know very little about sound. My guess is, you could probably delete the sound prefs from your user's account and they will be recreated with default settings. To test this, simply create a new account on the box, logout of your user and login as the new user and test sound. | 13:28 |

| mattimus | few days | 13:55 |
| bazhang | ouyes, for install only (alternate); if you wish to use live usb then you would need to use the live cd iso with unetbootin | 13:56 |

| mattimus | odd, I wouldn't expect chromium to be able to do that | 13:56 |

| Wikkedfin | will ubuntu server run on the acer aspire revo? | 14:28 |

| xiong | aksci, That's interesting. Does that happen only with mono sources or with stereo, too? | 14:28 |
| Codenut | Hey gang, I have a question | 14:28 |
| llutz | sleeping`dragon: patch the kernel | 14:28 |
| neezer | llutz: it turns out that I don't need upnp enabled! I just turned it off, and my mediatomb seems to be working great still. I have my ps3 hooked up to the router and it plays the media through my reciever...it is a pretty nifty setup I think. | 14:29 |
| xiong | Codenut, I have an answer: 42. It may not be the answer to your question. ;) | 14:29 |
| rob_p | AntoBinishK: I'm guessing you will need to manually grab the .deb for it and install it that way. | 14:29 |
| fumbles | say if I installed with a jaunty release but want to upgrade to karmic? apt-get dist-upgrade is not working for me | 14:29 |
| ubuntunewbie | llutz: it's from TurboPrint | 14:30 |
| llutz | neezer: i guess you only would need it if trying to access from WAN | 14:30 |
| Wikkedfin | anyone: will ubuntu server run on the acer aspire revo? | 14:30 |
| Codenut | Who does not know the answer to life the universe and everything, Douglas was brilliant. | 14:30 |
| llutz | ubuntunewbie: bad enough | 14:30 |
| neezer | llutz: WAN? from outside of my local network? | 14:30 |
| ubuntunewbie | llutz: :( | 14:30 |
| llutz | neezer: yes | 14:30 |
| Codenut | My question is that my main hard drive is now full, can I just put a drive in and let ubuntu "automajically" do the rest? | 14:31 |
| AntoBinishK | rob_p: manually grep python_support ? python is already installed on my machine | 14:31 |
| ubuntunewbie | llutz: no luck to install printer driver , possible of any work around without using those command ? | 14:31 |
| rob_p | AntoBinishK: python-support, I guess... maybe that's a meta-package. I dunno... | 14:31 |
| neezer | llutz: most of the places I go for work only have cheap satellite remote internet. trying to stream music through the connection would be futile at best. I don't need to stream, and I can use my ssh tunnel to transfer any files I need from the server. Thanks a lot for all the help! | 14:31 |
| AntoBinishK | rob_p: thank you i will try | 14:32 |
| llutz | ubuntunewbie: at least it should be limited like "xhost +localhost", but i don't think it will fix your issues | 14:32 |

| jerico_ | LjL: That made me laugh | 15:28 |
| dev305 | what i do | 15:28 |
| LjL | crisb2010: does it work if you manually type export http_proxy=blah ? | 15:28 |
| LjL | dev305: just install something else onto its partition. | 15:29 |
| dev305 | ok | 15:29 |

| dev305 | no i have both versiond in my desktop | 15:30 |
| LjL | crisb2010: "ping" ignores any proxy (since "ping" is not about http). as to apt-get, i think i recall you need to set a specific config option for it - moment | 15:30 |
| mikey | kk, well when I update my /etc/bash.bashrc it seemingly updates my terminal (eg; echo statements etc), but altering the PS1 line does not seem to alter my colours. | 15:31 |

| ChogyDan | mikey: thanks, I will try that | 15:32 |

| mikey | yeah I ily 7zip for windows | 15:34 |
| crisb2010 | LjL: was already in there, perhaps because i set the proxy system wide | 15:34 |

| mikey | as ubuntu cleverly fixes the grub partition | 15:43 |
| mikey | I think that's what I did.. | 15:43 |
| h00k | goathens: make sure you don't have any third party backup or recovery software, sometimes they like to overwrite the MBR | 15:43 |
| coz_ | goathens, you would have to reinstall grub2 you might get more help on #grub channel | 15:43 |

| NateW | does anyone else have a dell studio xps? im asking because it keeps locking up (i7, 9GB ram). i think it might be an issue with the motherboard but i would like to rule out it being ubuntu. | 16:24 |
| ende | I'm not tied to a mac solution here :) | 16:24 |
| ende | will come back if I have more Qs. Thanks | 16:24 |
| blakkheim | ende: what i meant was you should try a mac-specific channel | 16:25 |
| acicula | ende: heh usefull :/ | 16:25 |
| ende | ah | 16:25 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: Firstly, bloody hell! | 16:25 |
| fahadsadah | How much did that thing cost? | 16:25 |
| acicula | ende: dunno about where to get an .img | 16:25 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: RE your problem, what makes you think it's hardware? | 16:25 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: $1600 including a 24" monitor | 16:25 |
| h00k | erUSUL, acicula: FYI, I removed ~/.local/share/applications/compiz.desktop, logged out, back in, and everything is back to normal. | 16:25 |
| ikonia | !info trickle | 16:25 |
| ubottu | trickle (source: trickle): user-space bandwidth shaper. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-7 (karmic), package size 40 kB, installed size 176 kB | 16:25 |
| acicula | ende: VM and then unetbooting for usb creation should work | 16:26 |
| ende | acicula: yeah, I think I'll have to stick to figuring out a way with the .iso for now | 16:26 |
| acicula | h00k: cool :) | 16:26 |
| erUSUL | h00k: congrats and noted | 16:26 |
| ende | ah yeah, I read about unetbooting somwhere but forgot what it was called. Thanks, I'll check that out. | 16:26 |
| acicula | h00k: so it was starting compiz all the time or? | 16:26 |
| blakkheim | acicula: actually it probably won't since he is using a mac | 16:26 |
| acicula | blakkheim: VM | 16:26 |
| h00k | acicula: it was supposed to be doing this, but wasn't | 16:26 |
| blakkheim | acicula: then why would you suggest unetbootin? | 16:26 |
| bloodski | two questions, when using hdmi, the screen is always bigger than the tv can display (some pixels not showing) i can fix this in the tv settings, but it's okay outside ubuntu, any ideas? question two; can i change the theme to look more like windows 7 or similar? | 16:26 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: Is there anything that plainly suggests the problem is hardware? | 16:26 |
| fahadsadah | Can you Ctrl+Alt+1? | 16:27 |
| ende | well, we'll find out won't we :) | 16:27 |
| blakkheim | acicula: i've had a lot of troubles getting a mac to boot from usb since there is no BIOS | 16:27 |
| ende | ill let ya know what happens | 16:27 |
| fr3ak | what up suman? | 16:27 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: sometimes the live disk does not want to start up, complaining about the usb ports, sometimes the built in card reader will not work, occasionally ubuntu will not start up, it locks at gdm, and it quite often freezes on me (expect for the mouse).. the issues last for hours to days, and CTRL + ALT + F# does not work | 16:27 |
| acicula | ende: ok good luck | 16:27 |
| ende | blakkeim, I'm actually just using a mac (among other computers here) to create the ub stick. The target computer is an Asus eee pc 1005hab. | 16:27 |
| NateW | fahdasadah: did a memtest, benched the harddisk and video card and it all works great | 16:28 |
| ende | s/ub/usb | 16:28 |
| suman | fine | 16:28 |
| blakkheim | ende: oh ok then that should be ok | 16:28 |
| suman | what about you | 16:28 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: When it locks up, can you skinny-elephants it down? | 16:28 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: meaning? | 16:28 |
| fahadsadah | Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring | 16:28 |
| fahadsadah | SysRQ+R, SysRQ+S, SysRQ+E, etc etc etc | 16:29 |
| subdriven | forceflow: threw another nic in the box and it works | 16:29 |
| fahadsadah | SysRQ usually shares a key with PrintScreen | 16:29 |
| h00k | NateW: fn+sysrq+R, fn+sysrq+S, with R S E I U B | 16:29 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: never tried that yet | 16:29 |
| hellyeah | ghey | 16:29 |
| hellyeah | pls help | 16:29 |
| theadmin | Yah, it's usually Alt+PrtSc+R, S, E, I, U, B. | 16:29 |
| h00k | NateW: if you're on a laptop, try fn+sysrq, then it won't do printscreen | 16:29 |
| hellyeah | i install ubuntu within windows with setup file | 16:30 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: WUBI? | 16:30 |
| hellyeah | but now i can see windows partition | 16:30 |
| subdriven | forceflow: NO idea how putting system into standby would hose up the onboard nic but some how there was a cosmic fart or something and there it is | 16:30 |
| hellyeah | buone of them actually ubuntu is there | 16:30 |
| hellyeah | but i cannot see c: partition | 16:30 |
| fahadsadah | h00k: Do you know of any laptops with i7s and 9GB DDR3? | 16:30 |
| hellyeah | theadmin, what is wubi | 16:30 |
| fahadsadah | h00k: Triple channel DDR3 | 16:30 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: It should be under /host | 16:30 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: WUBI is the thing you install Ubuntu with within windows | 16:30 |
| hellyeah | ha okey | 16:31 |
| acicula | fahadsadah: actually those exist yes | 16:31 |
| fahadsadah | 0.o | 16:31 |
| hellyeah | myou said your partition must be under /host directory | 16:31 |
| acicula | though 9GB is slightly odd | 16:31 |
| theadmin | hellyeah: Yeah, it should be there. | 16:31 |
| fahadsadah | acicula: Not really. | 16:31 |
| fahadsadah | The i7's memory controller is triple-channel | 16:32 |
| acicula | fahadsadah: yeah but they dont make 3gb dimms | 16:32 |
| fahadsadah | Three DIMMs per channel, then | 16:32 |

| acicula | NateW: did you have hardware issues with the os the xps came with? | 16:35 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: acicula has a point - it could be drivers. | 16:35 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: the only thing that is different from standard 64bit ubuntu, is that im using the nvidia-vdpau ppa, i will try not using that | 16:35 |
| NateW | acicula: i dont use win 7 at all | 16:35 |
| wjt_ | 都在说什么呀 | 16:35 |

| ubottu | wjt_: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい | 16:36 |
| NateW | acicula, fahadsadah: i reformatted first thing :P | 16:36 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: but do you think it might have to do with the nvidia drivers? | 16:36 |
| acicula | NateW: well for troubleshooting purposes it may be worth to check | 16:36 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: Possibly | 16:37 |
| === ibuclaw is now known as ibuclaw|nap | ||
| fahadsadah | Also, Windows 7 does have quite good hardware support, so it's quite possible that it might work there. | 16:37 |
| acicula | NateW: assuming you're stuck with the win7 license/are not trying to get it refunded | 16:37 |
| fahadsadah | acicula: If Dell refunded it (unlikely), they wouldn't refund full retail cost, but the cost to them. | 16:38 |
| NateW | fahadsadah: and the issues didnt start the first month or so i had the computer, it started after christmas holidays.. i think the 195 drivers were on the ppa during that time.. i had the 190 drivers installed before that.. | 16:38 |
| fahadsadah | Which is around half the cost of standard OEM. | 16:38 |
| fahadsadah | NateW: Try downgrading to those | 16:38 |
| fahadsadah | If it's still broken, it's likely hardware. | 16:39 |

| dashavoo | my parents computer died a horrible death while I was staying with them over xmas, and I have managed to obtain an old computer or them to use until they get a new one, but there are no cd writers in the house (on working machines anyway) - if I switch the hdd from their old computer to the new even older pc, will ubuntu be able to boot? | 16:42 |
| epaphus | Hello, what is the name of that search function in Kubuntu? is it stigri??? | 16:42 |
| theadmin | dashavoo: Most likely yes, unless the hard-drive is unreadable | 16:43 |
| frenzy_usa | dashavoo, It should. You might have install/reinstall some programs/drivers to get full use of the "new" computer | 16:44 |
| epaphus | anybody know? | 16:44 |
| dashavoo | thanks theadmin and frenzy_usa - I'll give it a go then. It saves going down to the library to use the computers there to burn an installer | 16:44 |

| pookey | hi all - when installing ubuntu, it askedm e if I wanted to use an encrypted home folder- how do I go about settnig this up for new users, or changing my current user to use it? the wiki page on it is out of date, and so I'm not sure it does thigns in teh current 'best practices' way | 16:50 |
| acicula | pookey: its set on a per user basis, think you can toggle it when you create a new usr | 16:51 |
| acicula | *user | 16:51 |
| Vincent_k | I have the scaling applet started and it seems to work but I have no cpu related modules loaded acording to lsmod? i'm confused and google gives nothing | 16:51 |
| acicula | !ecryptfs > pookey | 16:51 |
| bloodski | !pastebin | 16:51 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic | 16:51 |
| pookey | acicula: should have have done something? :) | 16:51 |
| acicula | pookey: hoping it explained ecryptfs | 16:51 |
| acicula | pookey: its in the wiki, anyway the home encryption is on a per user base | 16:52 |
| pookey | yeah, I want it per home, however the wiki paeg I found tells you to modify pam.d/common-auth, which specifically tells you not to edit it, and the changes it suggests don't relfect what's in the file either | 16:52 |
| acicula | pookey: eh? | 16:53 |
| bloodski | here's my alsamixer : http://imagebin.org/79540 --- optical audio not working | 16:53 |
| frenzy_usa | Anyone use QuickBooks Pro in VirtualBox? | 16:53 |
| g0tcha | hey guys, is it possible to use ssh tunneling with Terminal? | 16:53 |
| acicula | g0tcha: yeh | 16:54 |
| fr3ak | @bloodski may be i can help you | 16:54 |
| llutz | g0tcha: sure | 16:54 |
| pookey | acicula: sorry, I'm not surewhich bit of what I said didn't make sense.... the wiki page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedHomeFolder) tells me to motify /etc/pam.d/common-auth - that file tells me that it's managed by pam-auth-update, and the file contents do not reflect what that wiki page suggests it should contain | 16:54 |
| sravan_ | Suppose if my friend's comp is connected to my comp through blue tooth or WiFi or some mechanism , How can I know the IP or MAC adress of HIS ( my friend's ) comp ??? | 16:54 |
| bloodski | appreciate it fr3ak, it should say something with with Nvidia intel alsa or something | 16:54 |
| g0tcha | how do i get to do that? | 16:54 |
| g0tcha | the way i do it is i start a terminal, i start an ssh tunnel then setup my firefox with those proxy settings | 16:54 |
| llutz | g0tcha: create a tunnel like "ssh -D wxyz user@host", use "tsocks <app>" then | 16:55 |
| Shdwdrgn | anyone familiar with using openldap for shell logins? I'm trying to change it to use the full email address (mail) instead of uid for the login name. | 16:55 |
| bloodski | fr3ak: but now it says, Generic 10de Nvidia HDMI instead... hdmi audio works, but not optical audio from spdif | 16:55 |
| pookey | acicula: useradd doesn't have anything abouti t for configuring it on new users either. I can probably follow one of the guides somewhere , however I want to do it the 'right' way according to how ubuntu does it itself on install | 16:55 |
| acicula | pookey: thats pretty dated, ubuntu sets up the encryption for you | 16:56 |
| llutz | g0tcha: tsocks should be configured to the port you use | 16:56 |
| ghufran | hi .. i want to run my mouse using the keyboard .. i enabled the option in preferences -> assitive tech -> keyboard prefs -> mouse keys but i dont know hwat key combination i have to use to make the mouse to move from the keyboard | 16:56 |
| wasutton3 | sravan_ you could always run a traceroute, that would give you everything between your computer and your choice of server | 16:56 |
| pookey | acicula: right, I just need to figureo ut how, because I selected 'no' during install | 16:56 |
| g0tcha | llutz, so for example are wxyz flags? | 16:57 |
| MorphyNOR | ghufran: you can move your mousepointer with your keypad, just turn off num lock | 16:57 |
| llutz | g0tcha: port | 16:57 |
| flaco | Hi all... I got a weird problem here... my grub fails with Error 2, I-m now in a live session and when I try to mount the linux partition I get "Exit code 32: mount: Stale NFS file handle" , NFS??? any ideas how to solve this?? | 16:57 |
| acicula | pookey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 16:57 |
| llutz | g0tcha: i.e. ssh -D 1080 to create a tunnel at port 1080 | 16:57 |
| ghufran | MorphyNOR: i dont have the keypad... and hence no numlock | 16:57 |
| acicula | though that is also slightly dated as it sets up an encrypted Private directory rather then encrypting your entire home | 16:58 |
| bloodski | cat /proc/asound/version -- says 1.0.18rc3 -- but alsamixer says 1.0.21 | 16:58 |
| g0tcha | llutz, the way i use it is "ssh -vv -l user -f -ND 1080 hostname" .. i never tried the way you said.. ill give it a try now | 16:58 |
| llutz | g0tcha: it's doeing basically the same | 16:58 |
| pookey | acicula: perahps it's enough for me to figure it out from though, I'll have a look though - thanks | 16:58 |
| g0tcha | llutz, ah cool thanks.. one last thing, what do you mean by "tsock <app>" ? | 16:59 |
| llutz | g0tcha: thats to call applications using the tunnel, even if they aren't configured to use socks-proxy | 17:00 |

| danny_ | Pelo: it is a usb printer but no...it didnt install it automatically | 17:17 |
| maco | ghufran: i think you need to enable it in either keyboard or mouse settings but since i use kubuntu i dont know which it is in ubuntu | 17:17 |

| plazia | amb_, but what I'm saying is in GNOME. when you try this in nautilus it launches some sorta authentication window permitting you to enter your password and then mounts the drive | 17:20 |
| plazia | like some sort privilege escalation but only temporarily | 17:21 |
| plazia | kinda like gksudo or something | 17:21 |
| twig11 | !install > twig11 | 17:21 |
| ubottu | twig11, please see my private message | 17:21 |

| amb_ | anybody : how to boot a usb-stick with grub2 - I know how to boot with grub | 17:44 |
| twig11 | Pelo: I can't believe I just did something this stupid. I created a new partition table on dev/sda by accident instead of on my thumb drive. I haven't written any new partitions to it yet. Is there any way to recover? | 17:44 |
| new2ubutnu | there's destination, gateway, genmask, flags, metric, ref, use, and Iface | 17:44 |
| Pelo | twick, have you actually applied ? | 17:44 |
| pererik87 | pici: darn those new wacoms | 17:45 |
| amb_ | what is your default gateway? | 17:45 |
| twig11 | Pelo: I applied the new partition map, yes. | 17:45 |
| Pici | pererik87: The only think I can think of is that you possibly had a mismatched quote or similar character and it was waiting for you to enter the closing character. | 17:45 |
| new2ubutnu | three destinations: 192.168.1.0, link-local, and default | 17:45 |
| Pelo | twig11, have you actulay hit the apply button , | 17:45 |
| pozican | I'm just curious - how many of you linux users alias c:? | 17:45 |
| amb_ | @new2ubuntunu what is default | 17:45 |
| new2ubutnu | default gateway is 192.168.1.1 | 17:45 |
| amb_ | seams ok. | 17:45 |
| maco | pozican: i never did that | 17:46 |
| new2ubutnu | yeah - i know - the wifi is selected in Network | 17:46 |
| amb_ | try nslookup an Ipadress you know | 17:46 |

| ubottu | new2ubutnu amb_: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 17:46 |
| Pelo | twig11, that's a bit out of my leag , this is the computer you are working on right now ? and sda is your / hdd ? , ,I think you should just close gparted | 17:46 |
| Pici | !who | 17:46 |
| 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 :) | 17:46 |
| new2ubutnu | i don't understand | 17:46 |
| new2ubutnu | tried rebooting, resetting the wireless router, etc | 17:46 |
| Pelo | twig11, but quite honestly this is out of my league | 17:46 |
| pozican | maco: I bet some did | 17:46 |
| twig11 | Pelo: I don't see an apply button on the current window. I don't remember if I clicked apply. But it said it would erase all data, and it now says 0 operations pending. | 17:47 |
| maco | pozican: i wouldnt even know how to do it | 17:47 |
| maco | pozican: ive heard of if you want to be able to access your windows drives from ubuntu, setting them to mount at /media/c or /media/d but thats it | 17:47 |
| Losha | twig11: some people report success using testdisk to recover partitions. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.... | 17:47 |
| amb_ | new2ubutnu, try nslookup with an IPadress you know well. expl. nslookup www.google.com | 17:47 |
| pererik87 | Pici: im certain it was a bug because i got a half word on one side and a half directory on the other side of the insertion point. the text after insertion pont dissapeared when i started to type. wierd behavior. But i figure ill just turn the wacom in and order a older version | 17:47 |
| Pelo | twig11, very important, is that sda hdd the harddrive you are curently using to run your os ? | 17:47 |
| * pozican facepalms | 17:47 | |

| scott_ino2 | Does anyone know if mediabuntu pulled 64 bit skype from their repo? It doesn't seem to be there | 17:48 |
| twig11 | Pelo: I do have a backup. But I sure don't feel like recovering from it. | 17:48 |
| maco | scott_ino2: theyre not permitted to distribute it, afaik | 17:48 |
| pererik87 | !pici nope | 17:48 |
| amb_ | anybody : how to boot a usb-stick with grub2 - I know how to boot with grub | 17:48 |
| maco | scott_ino2: everything else in medibuntu is free software with patent issues. skype isnt free software at all. | 17:48 |
| new2ubutnu | connection timed out; no servers could be reached | 17:48 |
| scott_ino2 | maco, I mean they used to up until a month ago | 17:49 |
| scott_ino2 | at least | 17:49 |
| maco | scott_ino2: er, free with a capital F | 17:49 |
| Pelo | twig11, it usualy is , it's not possible to do any gparted operations on a mounted file system, so you probably didn,T break the computer, but if it,s another hdd you probably screwed it up, no idea how to recover from that | 17:49 |
| Pici | pererik87: I'm not sure then, sorry. | 17:49 |
| scott_ino2 | maco, im just trying to confirm that they pulled it and it's not something else going on | 17:49 |
| amb_ | new2ubutnu, try ping 192.168.1.1 | 17:49 |
| twig11 | Pelo: Well I'm certain it's the one I'm running from now, so I hope you're right. | 17:49 |
| maco | scott_ino2: i assume thats it. probably best to ask them though, rather than random folks :P | 17:49 |
| new2ubutnu | destination host unreachable | 17:50 |
| scott_ino2 | maco, of course, just figured someone in here would know for certain | 17:50 |

| twig11 | Pelo: I'll try again with the USB drive. :-) | 17:50 |
| Pelo | twick, close down gparted, and try to view files elswhere on that hdd using nautilus | 17:50 |
| pererik87 | pici: oh god what a mess. well thanks for trying :) | 17:50 |
| kostkon | scott_ino2, they removed skype from medibuntu. the reason is that they didn't want to confuse the users since skype provide their own debs. | 17:50 |
| new2ubutnu | on 192.168.1.1 it says 56(84) bytes of data | 17:50 |

| lonpc18 | hi pici | 17:50 |
| lonpc18 | your main.cf is standard | 17:50 |
| Pelo | twig11, there is a nice app in the system menu, disk utilities, that should let you select the usb stick and refformat it and set the flag, I didn'T think about it because it is recent | 17:51 |

| new2ubutnu | signal level is 45 noise is 101 | 17:56 |

| new2ubutnu | brb | 18:03 |
| Pelo | thesabry, I think you need to ask in a mac channel to see what OSX will support, anything listed in gparted is supported by linux, so youjust need to find a match, btw fat32 does not support files large files so you might want to take that in consideration | 18:04 |
| new2ubutnu | AMB - gave the same response no such file or directory | 18:04 |

| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, after you set the permissions you can try mounting it again, mount /dev/sdb1 /media*or someother location | 18:17 |
| mezquitale | ende, right you have to unmount the drive, i would make that xp partition smaller, you would only need about 20~40 gigs for xp, then create some space for remix, about 10~15 gigs should be enough, if you have a sata HD use a swap partition if you have an SSD hard drive dont use swap | 18:17 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: this happens with all my external hard drives, old and new | 18:17 |
| ende | mezquitale, 20-40?? ha, M$ is lucky if it gets 16 ;) | 18:17 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, hmm odd, did you chmod the drive? | 18:18 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: not yet | 18:18 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, fdisk sees it, so it's obviously there and recognized, just wont mount. seems as though if you set permissions on it it would work | 18:18 |
| ende | so I have to create a swap partition manually? | 18:18 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: not yet | 18:18 |
| Sport | I just installed and setup Ubuntu server on a small server machine I built. Since it lacks GUI, and my mobo has an HDMI port, is there a way I can play media to my TV? | 18:18 |
| ende | remix won't do that for me during install out of the available freespace? or do I just need to partition off the space for it (I think ~ size of memory ?) | 18:18 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: I did sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb1 and nothing happened | 18:18 |
| mezquitale | ende, you could let the installation do it for you, i boot up to netbook remix, partition the drive, reboot then install | 18:19 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, ok so try mounting it again | 18:19 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: I did it doesn't mount | 18:19 |
| ende | mezquitale, if I partition off, say, 2gb for the swap, then during the Remix install I can designate as the location for the swap? | 18:19 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, do you have data you need on this? or can you copy it over to somewhere else first? | 18:20 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: I tried changing the permission logged in as root earlier and it wouldn't let me | 18:20 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, certain flash drives and external hard drives have software that run on them, so I'm wondering of this is the case, however you say this does it with all of yoru drives. | 18:21 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: yeah I can open it with root, it's just I'm trying to fix this | 18:21 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, you're saying root can mount the drives? | 18:21 |
| === spysam is now known as sasp | ||
| mezquitale | ende, yes, you can choose to parttion the drive manually, all you have to do is specify "/" and any other optional partitions that you have, remix should be able to detect your swap partition | 18:21 |
| KarmaJones | scott_ino2: yeah I can open it with root | 18:21 |
| scott_ino2 | KarmaJones, go to System/Administration/Users and Groups | 18:22 |

| erict | Myrtti, I call everyone dude, dude. :) | 19:22 |
| Newky | Hydrosis: i think its not gparted in the installer as far as i no its a different partitioner | 19:22 |
| lcb | bo_bo, probably, although i think parted is not graphical | 19:22 |
| MegaHerz | Hydrosis: should I do somethings else except adding locale with locale-gen? | 19:23 |
| blakkheim | it's probably parted or fdisk | 19:23 |
| Hydrosis | Newky: looks like gparted to me. I could be wrong, but the GUI leads me to believe its gparted. | 19:23 |
| Bo_Bo | lcb, i think parted is used below the gui of the installer, check docs, wiki, etc | 19:23 |

| twig11 | What's my risk if I install Ubuntu 9.10 PPC from a cd that burned with errors? The Karmic desktop cd image for ppc is too big (almost to big, depending who you ask) to fit on a 700 MB CD. GnomeBaker burned a cd from the image and claimed it failed, but I can boot from it and everything seems to work. Is it safe to install? | 19:43 |

| twig11 | blakkheim: Is there a way to burn a 705MB iso image to a 700MB CD? | 19:45 |
| Slart | twig11: why not try the minimal install if you're having problems with the cd size | 19:45 |

| ubottu | twig11: 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).

| ati | vlt it says squashfs | 20:05 |
| vlt | woodt: What exactly did you have to do (dmsetup what)? | 20:05 |
| BitWraith | C:\Ubuntu\ appears to have already been removed. | 20:05 |
| `mOOse` | ok, thanks - I have questions about how to do this...is there a HOWTO or tutorial I can see? | 20:05 |
| vlt | ati: So it's squashfs ;-) | 20:05 |
| OneOneFive | what are exactly the apt and apt-get? | 20:06 |
| ati | yes what does that mean ? | 20:06 |
| Slart | !apt | 20:06 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 20:06 |
| Carci | Heh, I've wondered that myself for a while. I know what it DOES, but not what it MEAN--oooh. | 20:06 |
| shane2peru | for nvidia what do you recommend open source drivers or proprietary ??? | 20:06 |
| borgicheb | apt-get is almost the same thing as using synaptic to manage packages. | 20:06 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: `swapoff -a` | 20:07 |
| Aled | could I dual boot XP under Ubuntu without creating a partition? | 20:07 |
| Slart | shane2peru: proprietary for performance | 20:07 |
| urthmover | is it possible to configure gnome to put a blue shadow behind the window in focus? If so how? | 20:07 |
| powertool08 | twig11: Also, found an overburn bug on older versions of brasero which was fixed in 0.9.x If yours isn't this new, try upgrading brasero. | 20:07 |
| borgicheb | But apt-get is command line... | 20:07 |
| Aled | Such as like you get the option to create a distrobution of Ubuntu under XP | 20:07 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: Then remove the swap line from /etc/fstab | 20:07 |
| blakkheim | borgicheb: so? | 20:07 |
| Slart | urthmover: perhaps not gnome.. but perhaps compiz? | 20:07 |
| happy_ | shane2peru: depends on your situation. Do you plan to ever use 3d graphics rendering? If so, proprietary is better | 20:07 |
| shane2peru | Slart, better performance with proprietary then, thanks | 20:07 |
| Myrtti | borgicheb: aptitude is almost like using synaptic. apt-get is a bit simplistic compared to it | 20:07 |
| Slart | shane2peru: yes | 20:07 |
| kulight | i getting an error while trying to install nvidia 195 drivers from ppa any one can help? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5e8a4bfe | 20:07 |
| shane2peru | happy_, yep, 3d, thanks. | 20:07 |
| woodt | vlt: I had to run "dmsetup -f remove volume_group_name/snapshot_name" before I ran lvremove to get rid of a snapshot LV. It seems that the device mapper grabbed it too. I'd really like the device mapper driver to leave it alone - the only use I have for snapshots and LVM on this machine is as a KVM host. | 20:07 |
| ati | vltyes what does that mean ? | 20:08 |
| `mOOse` | ok vlt - will the OS be smart enough to know to show that partition as useable for date/pgms after that? (isn't it marked as a swap type" | 20:08 |
| Slart | shane2peru: I think the only reason to use the open source driver is just that.. that they are open source.. not better.. not more stable.. not faster.. just freer =) | 20:08 |
| `mOOse` | )? | 20:08 |
| shane2peru | Slart, just install them through the hardware drivers or manually? What would you recommend? | 20:08 |
| borgicheb | Myrtti: the man page for apt-get says: apt-get is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be | 20:08 |
| borgicheb | considered the user´s "back-end" to other tools using the APT library. | 20:08 |
| borgicheb | Several "front-end" interfaces exist, such as dselect(8), aptitude(8), | 20:08 |
| borgicheb | synaptic(8), gnome-apt(1) and wajig(1). | 20:08 |
| FloodBot1 | borgicheb: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:08 |
| ati | vlt yes what does that mean ? | 20:08 |
| duffydack | This is a weird one. I was viewing images, fullscreen in gthumb and all of a sudden my whole top panel has that part of the image as a backdrop instead of the black dust style colour | 20:08 |
| Slart | shane2peru: go with the hardware manager | 20:08 |
| urthmover | Is it possible to put a /msg Slart thanks again for the response I have the place in compiz to do it...but I can't seem to figure out how to just do the window in focus...I can get a blue shadow behind any particular app I want , but I want only the window in focu | 20:08 |
| borgicheb | oh, sorry, FloodBot. | 20:08 |
| vlt | woodt: If you use an LV for something else (like loop devices) lvm will refuse to delete them. | 20:09 |
| Nafai | Is there an .ics or google calendar feed somewhere I can subscribe to for the Ubuntu Developer week so I can remember it? | 20:09 |
| OneOneFive | what progarmming languages would u reccomend to start with? | 20:09 |

| Slart | urthmover: I'm not really sure.. have a look at the ADD helper stuff.. that usually does things to the window in focus | 20:09 |
| ati | vlt ?? | 20:09 |
| OneOneFive | im not sure yet, i just dont like the idea of not knowing how computers anf the internet work | 20:10 |
| urthmover | ok Slart I'll investigate the ADD helper stuff more thanks for the advice | 20:10 |
| Slart | urthmover: you're using the window decoration plugin to do the shade? | 20:10 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: The partition is "formatted" as swapspace, yes. To use it for data you'll have to put a file system on it. `mkfs.<type> <your_partition>` | 20:10 |
| Mister_M | Hi all | 20:10 |
| borgicheb | @OneOneFive Like, do you have specific tasks you need to get done, or are you just trying to learn how to program? | 20:10 |
| urthmover | Slart: let me double check hang on | 20:10 |
| OneOneFive | u are experienced users, maybe u could give me some hint | 20:10 |
| Carci | OneOneFive: As far as the internet goes, things like Perl, Python, or PHP are used a ton. Uhm... would be good learning HTML if you don't know that already (although it's not really a programming language, but it's got similar ideas)... | 20:10 |
| `mOOse` | vlt - aaaahh I see - ok thanks - that gets me started!! | 20:10 |
| * `mOOse` goes to read! | 20:11 | |
| za119 | hey I am trying to install my linksys wired NIC card, and it keeps saying that eth0 and eth1 are not working in the /etc/network/interfaces file ..... it shows up in LSPCI, what do I put into my interfaces file to get the card working | 20:11 |
| urthmover | Slart: yes window decoration does the shade | 20:11 |
| OneOneFive | so python, html, c and derivates? | 20:11 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: `mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda2` for example | 20:11 |
| za119 | anyone?? | 20:11 |
| `mOOse` | vlt - yes, it's all coming back to me - once upon a time in another life I knew this stuff ;-) | 20:11 |
| woodt | vlt, I'm just using LVM for KVM on this box. That's all. There's little to no reason for the host operating system to care what's on the virtuals' file systems. All I need to be able to do is create LVM snapshots, mount them, back them up, and then release them via lvremove. But I have to have that intermediate step of the "dmsetup -f" to get device mapper to turn it loose. Why does DM even attach itself to the LVM snapshot? | 20:12 |
| borgicheb | @OneOneFive I usually recommend Java to people as a first language, since it's easier to read than PERL. I know the hardcore computer science programs like berkeley and MIT use Scheme. | 20:12 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: btw, I'd nearly always recommend using LVM to manage storage space. | 20:12 |
| Slart | urthmover: I don't really see a configuration option to only do the shadow on the window in focus.. the ADD helper seems to only decolourize or darken/brighten the out-of-focus windows.. it doesn't really mention shadows.. | 20:12 |
| happy_ | OneOneFive: I recomend python as a first computer programming language. | 20:12 |
| happy_ | OneOneFive: html is NOT a programming language | 20:12 |
| `mOOse` | vlt - VLM? That's one I'm not familiar with | 20:12 |
| phoebus_ | Using getlibs, back in square one. Help someone please, need to get this program working for a lab. Check http://pastebin.ca/1748657 for the libraries missing. | 20:12 |

| `mOOse` | I'm wondering how the OS would distribute data too - like, if I had a 10 gig partition and that 500 meg one, how would the OS know which to use to install pgms on, etc | 20:13 |
| Slart | urthmover: you're welcome | 20:13 |
| happy_ | OneOneFive: a programming language can add 1+2. HTML can make the 4 look bold and be yellow :-) | 20:13 |
| vlt | woodt: I never experienced anything like this. Are you sure there's no script invoking dm? | 20:13 |
| brontosaurusrex | OneOneFive: if you are serious then probably python, if you just need to hack together some ideas on higher level, then maybe some php | 20:13 |

| `mOOse` | excellent - thanks! | 20:14 |
| maco | happy_: making the 4 bold and yellow is more CSS's job. html just tells the CSS that the 4 should be treated like text in code instead of text in a paragraph | 20:14 |
| OneOneFive | just one last question, should i buy some book about it or just look for some tutorila on the internet | 20:14 |
| vlt | `mOOse`: For simple setups ignore the RAID part. | 20:14 |
| happy_ | maco: depends on if you use CSS :-P | 20:15 |
| `mOOse` | ok, yea, this is simple usb flash here | 20:15 |

| cheese_ | lol. mm kay. how do you go to a new channel? | 20:30 |
| BitWraith | Rodensky, look below the master channel and the PCM channel. you should see a green square if the channel is active and an empty square if it is muted. make sure they are turned up before you bother with the mic | 20:30 |
| maco | cheese_: this is a channel. there are many of them on this server. if you say someone's name, their client should highlight them and maybe make a noise. and umm... oh you can type the beginning of their name then hit tab to complete the rest of it instead of typing it all the way out. | 20:30 |
| Jimmy_Spong | ok ill check it | 20:30 |

| jiffe | whats a good network speed tester I can use between 2 ubuntu machines? | 20:30 |
| maco | cheese_: depends on your client, but "/join #channelname" usually works | 20:30 |
| jiffe | that doesn't involve disk | 20:31 |
| Dextronaught | I currently have sound, but it's limited. I can hear sound on Java applications, and I can also access alsamixer and configure the settings, everything appears to be fine, I'm pretty sure. alsamixer in terminal also detected my mic, but no matter how I put the volume, I have no mic sound either. | 20:31 |
| m0ar | I need help fixing my wireless connection! | 20:31 |
| Slart | dj: are you using some old version of ubuntu? | 20:31 |
| maco | cheese_: and by "depends on your client" i mean that i'm not sure pidgin and empathy can do that, but dedicated IRC clients pretty much all can | 20:31 |
| dj | slart yes iam on ubuntu 8.0 | 20:31 |
| cheese_ | oo. cool! thanks! | 20:31 |
| vlt | za119: Where are you trying to ping to? | 20:31 |
| cheese_ | how do I check for channels? | 20:31 |
| Slart | dj: 8.04 ? | 20:31 |
| dj | slart yes | 20:31 |
| Slart | 8.04 | 20:31 |
| Slart | !8.04 | 20:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04-LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 20:32 |
| za119 | vlt anything... my router and outside internet dosent work | 20:32 |
| Hydrosis | Dextronaught: Ubuntu sound is a joke. You CANT hear sound out of the speakers when using a mic. This means you cant hear a guitar either. Very VERY useless for music and sound, is ubuntu. | 20:32 |
| dj | i updated before to 9.0 but ihad problems with my graphic intel card | 20:32 |
| revlo | hi is lxde not avaible in 8.04 and only in 9.04 or similiar? aptitude does not find something? if so is there a backport to install it? | 20:32 |
| Dextronaught | oh. | 20:32 |
| Slart | dj: it's possible that the newest vlc isn't installable on that version. because of dependencies | 20:32 |
| Rodensky | BitWraith: Their up. I can hear songs and stuff, it's the mic that isn't working (built in, it's a laptop) | 20:32 |
| vlt | za119: `ip r` | 20:32 |
| m0ar | Hydrosis: Bullshit. | 20:32 |
| Dextronaught | so... what should I do, Hydrosis? | 20:32 |
| Dextronaught | lol | 20:32 |
| dj | slart: are there any problems with ubuntu 9.0 | 20:32 |
| Hydrosis | n0ar: how is it bullshit? | 20:32 |
| alc | lphairc.com | 20:32 |
| cheese_ | maco? | 20:33 |
| Pici | m0ar, Hydrosis: Please mind your language here. | 20:33 |
| BitWraith | Rodensky, press F5 in alsamixer and make sure the mic is set as the capture device | 20:33 |
| za119 | vlt it says "192.1.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernet scope link src 192.168.1.203 default via 192.168.1.200 dev eth2 metric 100" | 20:33 |
| maco | cheese_: hmm? | 20:33 |
| Rodensky | BitWraith: Also, last time I had to reinstall because everything was up, nothing muted, yet I couldn't hear anything, but the mic worked. | 20:33 |
| Hydrosis | Dextronaught: I use Windows for recording. | 20:33 |
| BitWraith | I think it is F5... let me make sure | 20:33 |
| Rodensky | BitWraith: The capture is up and green, not muted | 20:33 |
| maco | cheese_: oh. umm depends on your client. | 20:33 |
| Dextronaught | Hydrosis, I don't want to record. | 20:33 |
| Dextronaught | I just want sound on youtube. | 20:33 |
| maco | cheese_: i think "/list" | 20:33 |
| Slart | dj: well.. it's not a LTS version.. so it might have some extra features (or bugs as you might call them) | 20:33 |
| pmendez169 | has anyone had a problem burning and running ubuntu minimal image? when i run it and type cli all i get is a black screen | 20:33 |
| Jimmy_Spong | hmmm it says sound , ethernet sata pata whatever worked | 20:33 |
| maco | cheese_: but i usually do that the graphical way, so im not sure | 20:33 |
| * Dr_Willis wants a world where sound card makers all release all specs for their cards. | 20:34 | |
| BitWraith | Just out of curiosity, how did you know the mic was working if ou had no sound\? | 20:34 |
| Slart | dj: I use the same version for my server.. I don't need the new fancy stuff for that.. and I know that it will be stable and do its thing | 20:34 |
| dj | slart:is 9.04 the latest one | 20:34 |
| m0ar | Can anyone guide me through fixing my wireless? I'm in kinda desperate need of help | 20:34 |
| Hydrosis | Dextronaught: I have no idea. I have no sound when playing games, no sound from mic via speakers, etc. Karmic is junk for audio. Its made my PC experience these last few weeks horrid. | 20:34 |
| pmendez169 | can anyone help me? | 20:34 |
| Slart | dj: nope.. 9.10 is the latest one.. 9.10 = 2009, month 10 | 20:34 |
| cheese_ | ok, ok. and if a channel doesn't exist, I can make it up right? | 20:34 |
| maco | cheese_: ok i'm being told i should tell you "/msg alis help" instead of "/list" | 20:35 |
| za119 | zlt any luck?? | 20:35 |
| m0ar | Hydrosis: That's just wierd. Try purging pulseaudio, solved all soudproblems for me | 20:35 |
| Dextronaught | I have sound from Java on Firefox, and... basic sound, but not from playing audio CDs or youtube. | 20:35 |
| Dr_Willis | cheese_: yes. just /join #myfancychannel | 20:35 |
| burzki | Jimmy_Spong, why dont you start with a question about your Actual Specific problem .. | 20:35 |
| Slart | dj: have you tried 9.10? I think they fixed some of the intel issues since 9.04 | 20:35 |
| Jimmy_Spong | that was my actuall specific problem | 20:35 |
| Dextronaught | moar, is pulseaudio an app? | 20:35 |
| pmendez169 | has anyone had a problem burning and running ubuntu minimal image? when i run it and type cli all i get is a black screen | 20:35 |
| Hydrosis | m0ar: I shouldnt have to. Ubuntu should work. All other OS's work. | 20:35 |
| dj | slart: do i need to do fresh install or just upgrade | 20:35 |
| m0ar | Hydrosis: Then go windoose. | 20:35 |
| vlt | za119: Can you ping the gateway 192.168.1.200? | 20:35 |
| Dextronaught | Hydrosis, Linux isn't for everybody lol. | 20:36 |
| burzki | Jimmy_Spong, good then, you're all fixed | 20:36 |
| za119 | vlt I cannot | 20:36 |
| Jimmy_Spong | y | 20:36 |
| Jimmy_Spong | be bye | 20:36 |
| za119 | vlt I get destination host unreachable | 20:36 |
| Slart | dj: I think you can upgrade.. although I think it would be best to try a live cd first.. just to see if your graphics work alright | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !info ubuntustudio | 20:36 |
| ubottu | Package ubuntustudio does not exist in karmic | 20:36 |
| Hydrosis | m0ar: I do use windows for audio, gaming and anything that NEEDS to be done. Im stuck here trying to get Ubuntu to work. It hates me. | 20:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !ubuntustudio | 20:36 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 20:36 |
| vlt | za119: What about `ping 192.168.1.203`? | 20:36 |
| m0ar | Hydrosis: Everything worked out of the box for me, and allof the people I know. The only soundproblems I had was solved by a single command.7 | 20:37 |
| Slart | Hydrosis: just to add some more data to your statistics.. I can play sound, record sound, play and record at the same time using pulseaudio etc etc.. no problems at all.. running on 9.10 | 20:37 |
| Dextronaught | m0ar, is pulseaudio an app? do you think it'll help me? | 20:37 |
| za119 | vlt I get a regular ping response when i ping 192.168.1.203 - it is my own IP | 20:37 |
| m0ar | Dextronaught: Sure, we can try | 20:37 |
| Hydrosis | Dr_Willis: Just to make it clear, as a recording artist I find UbStudio to n ot be the best. It has a lot of apps, but they are all very weak for editing audio. | 20:37 |
| Dextronaught | it's an app? do I get it off synaptic? | 20:37 |
| m0ar | Dextronaught: Try to use the command sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio | 20:37 |
| vlt | za119: `ethtool eth2` last line | 20:37 |
| Dextronaught | Oo k | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Hydrosis: means very little to me. I dont record anything.. but then again. i dont have any sound issues on my 5 machines.. | 20:37 |
| Rodensky | BitWraith: All up and is set to max (master, capture, etc) - got other idea? | 20:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Hydrosis: it all boils down to the chipset of the audio card i guess. | 20:38 |
| m0ar | Dextronaught: That'll remove everything about pulseaudio | 20:38 |
| BitWraith | Rodensky, As far as I can tell, you have alsa working, I think you just need to make sure pulse is using alsa's output. I don't actually have an ubuntu box running in front of me now, so I can't see the menu, which would make it very difficult for me to help you.:-/ | 20:38 |
| phaer | Dextronaught: Its a sound server, it should be included and running in recent ubuntu versions | 20:38 |
| za119 | vlt I do not have internet I cannot install ethtool | 20:38 |
| undecim | m0ar: Have you gotten your wireless working yet? | 20:38 |
| m0ar | undecim: No :/ | 20:38 |
| m0ar | undecim: Think you can help me out? | 20:38 |
| undecim | m0ar: I'll try. You said that you can connect to the router, but not reach the internet, correct? | 20:38 |
| m0ar | Indeed | 20:39 |
| Rodensky | BitWraith: thanks anyway | 20:39 |
| vlt | za119: Is there an LED on the router that flashes on your port when you run the ping? | 20:39 |
| undecim | m0ar: What happens when you ping 192.168.0.1? | 20:39 |

| Dextronaught | ok, m0ar, I did that command you did about pulseaudio. so I removed it? now what. | 20:40 |
| za119 | vlt no it does not | 20:40 |
| m0ar | Dextronaught: Try the sound, if it works | 20:40 |
| BitWraith | Rodensky, no problem... I think it might help dpkg-reconfigure the pulseaudio package, but since I've never done that before you should probably not take my word for it | 20:40 |
| Dextronaught | ok | 20:40 |

| za119 | vlt before i unplugged it it said eth2: link up on the screen | 20:45 |
| ottoChauncey | it's a cd image | 20:45 |
| za119 | vlt and that didnt change when i unplugged it and plugged it back in | 20:45 |
| pmendez169 | that be good :P. i have spent 2 hours in vbox setting it up and learning now i cant mirror that on my laptop | 20:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ottoChauncey: then it might be iso9660, theres also the fuseiso and fuseis09660 tools that can auto detect and mount proplerly many of the fancy iso files out. Or convert the image to iso perhaps | 20:46 |
| vlt | za119: Did you take the right cable (maybe eth2 is not what you think it is ...)? | 20:46 |
| pmendez169 | i have even tried putting it on a usb and still does the same | 20:46 |

| maco | BitWraith: why not "sudo -i"? | 21:01 |
| master_ | can i help you | 21:02 |
| maco | BitWraith: "sudo su" wont change to root's environment, by the way | 21:02 |
| BitWraith | maco, I guess there's more than one way to do it. | 21:02 |

| maco | BitWraith: thatd be "sudo su -" | 21:02 |
| BitWraith | ah | 21:02 |
| === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| maco | BitWraith: "sudo su" = "sudo -s" and "sudo su -" = "sudo -i" | 21:03 |
| brontosaurusrexw | how about just su ? | 21:03 |
| BitWraith | brontosaurusrexw, does that work on ubuntu? | 21:03 |
| Slart | su doesn't work on default ubuntu | 21:03 |
| Dr_Willis | its probly just best to learn to use 'sudo -s' and forget about the other ways. :) | 21:03 |
| Pici | !sudo | 21:03 |
| 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) | 21:03 |
| BitWraith | I thought it wouldn't as long as you can't log directly in as root | 21:03 |
| Ratizar | do i still need adobe flash player or i can use just moonlight and silverlight | 21:03 |
| maco | Dr_Willis: no no, "sudo -i" is the better one | 21:03 |
| brontosaurusrexw | works here, linux mint 7 (jaunty) | 21:03 |
| maco | BitWraith: right "su" wont work on default ubuntu | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | maco: guids ive read say the other way.. or i may be backwards.. | 21:04 |
| Slart | maco: why is sudo -i better than sudo -s ? | 21:04 |
| maco | BitWraith: not unless you manually add a root password | 21:04 |
| Slart | !supportroot | 21:04 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 21:04 |
| maco | Slart: because it changes to root's environment instead of your own | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/ | 21:04 |
| Slart | maco: is that a bad thing? | 21:04 |
| twig11 | I really need some help recovering a Karmic install I just damaged. While trying to prepare a flash drive to boot ubuntu, I accidentally created a new blank partition map on /dev/sda, the drive my system is installed on. It kept running fine until I rebooted, and now it says it can't find a boot partition. I know my data is still there, because I could access it before I rebooted. Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to reinstall and | 21:04 |
| twig11 | recover from backup? | 21:04 |
| Leoneof` | h, i've wlan0 that need ppp0 to connect to internet, so i want to share internet connection to LAN (eth0) crossover cable, any special settings? | 21:04 |
| m0ar | Can someone help me set up a wireless connection? | 21:04 |
| Pici | brontosaurusrexw: Mint is not Ubuntu and is not supported here. Especially if they have root unlocked. | 21:04 |
| Dr_Willis | of course some times you do want the root userws enviroment.. so it all boils down to your exct needs I guess | 21:05 |
| Rodensky | Ubuntu 9.04 - I reinstalled alsamixer after having sound problems, so now I can hear without any problem but the mic isn't working... :\ (alsamixer in the terminal shows everything is up and nothing is muted) | 21:05 |
| maco | Slart: you usually want to have root's environment when operating as root, i think. | 21:05 |
| Ratizar | do i still need adobe flash player or i can use just moonlight and silverlight | 21:05 |
| kinja-sheep | Ratizar: Do what you want/need. | 21:05 |
| maco | Ratizar: moonlight is for silverlight. flashplayer is for flash. they are different technologies | 21:05 |
| maco | Ratizar: so you need flash for youtube and some other sites might have silverlight content, in which case you need moonlight | 21:06 |
| Slart | maco: mm.. I can't really think of a situation when it would be bad.. can't think of a situation where it would be desired either.. well well | 21:06 |
| === Vakz_ is now known as Vakz | ||
| maco | Slart: im not entirely sure in ubuntu how root's env is configured. i know for example that $PATH is different between root and normal users on other distros | 21:07 |

| Slart | twig11: you could try testdisk.. see if it can find the partitions again.. but be very careful.. read the documentation before you start messing around with it | 21:09 |
| Dr_Willis | twig11: i think the 'gpart' command Might be able to help. Best would be to attempt to dd the whold drive/partitions to a image filesomewere and truy to repair the image file first | 21:09 |

| Myrtti | Guest50117: yes | 21:18 |
| ibuclaw | alienkid10, I wouldn't be too sure off the top of my head. | 21:18 |
| ibuclaw | alienkid10, but in that link I gave you, you download + extract the Ubuntu iso | 21:18 |

| Guest50117 | what are some packages I can uninstall to make xubuntu run faster? | 21:19 |
| alienkid10 | ibuclaw: I have seen it seems they link a lot of files to each other which makes it really confusing | 21:20 |

| James_-_ | During the install of Ubuntu Server, In the partitioner, under usage, the option are standard / news / largefile / largefile4 .... If this is a RAID 5 for SCSIs to be used for media files which will give me my best performance and why??? | 21:20 |
| guntbert | Guest50117: just having a package installed doesn't slowdown you machine | 21:20 |
| coz_ | Hideme, are you holding shift and pressing the question mark key? | 21:20 |
| Hideme | coz_: trying to... but it only prints / | 21:21 |
| daemoncat | Is there a way to change my LANG setting to have en_US.UTF8 display the time as HH:mm instead of AM/PM but keep the rest of the settings intact? | 21:21 |

| coz_ | Hideme, do you have another shift key on the keyboard to test? | 21:21 |
| Guest50117 | well I did have ubuntu and they seem to run about the same to me, what are some things I can do to increase performance? | 21:21 |

| blakkheim | Guest50117: what are your specs dude | 21:34 |
| hari_ | i have a problem with my printer | 21:35 |

| shawnboy | Greetings. I have an embarrassingly simple question. I've installed and reinstalled a few times and can't remember whether I'm running 32 or 64 bit. I looked in Sys Monitor but it doesn't say. | 21:41 |
| twig11 | powertool08: I was disconnected for a few minutes. Did you post anything for me? | 21:41 |

| Sparky57 | @iceroot works under "windows" just fine but in 9.10 it read only | 21:41 |

| CkhiKuzad | is there a way to basically "fool" avant window navigator into thinking you have a compositioning window manageer, but not running one. | 21:42 |

| ^paradox^ | im a little difficulty with vlc and mplayer. when i scroll videos im playing backward or forward to rewatch a part they stop for a second or two sometimes and then the video gets pixelated. then it goes back to normal | 21:43 |
| vlt | viliny: "-j DNAT --to-destination ..." for example | 21:43 |
| maco | CkhiKuzad: xcompmgr isnt a window manager, just a compositing layer, i think | 21:43 |
| daftykins | James_-_: they're like cluster size configs by the looks - or a flag which optimises the FS for certain sized files | 21:43 |
| shawnboy | ok. thanks. I feel silly for having to ask. *sheepish grin* | 21:43 |
| maco | CkhiKuzad: i mean, ive used it while having xmonad be my window manager so i'd get transparent notifications | 21:43 |
| blakkheim | ^paradox^: this happens with mplayer too? vlc is normal to mess up like that but mplayer should be ok :/ | 21:43 |
| ^paradox^ | they do this with mpegs and wmv. havent tried avi | 21:43 |

| James_-_ | daftykins which should i use for a RAID 5 of SCSI drives for large media files on a file server??? and why | 21:45 |
| blakkheim | ^paradox^: if you answer the questions of the people trying to help you, your issue gets fixed faster than taking random guesses | 21:45 |
| daftykins | James_-_: i'd just go with default, if your RAID controller is any good. | 21:45 |
| CkhiKuzad | of course not, it is ancient, maco, but i still just want to know if there is something in the awn source code that detects that, and if so, how would i change it so it thinks it is running a CWM | 21:45 |
| Snausages | daftykins: what application is this? | 21:45 |
| ^paradox^ | blakkheim: what would u like to know? | 21:45 |
| Sparky57 | anyone else have an idea n how to format a SD-card that shows up as read only but ist write protected | 21:45 |
| blakkheim | ^paradox^: scroll up and read what i askeed | 21:45 |
| daftykins | Snausages: wrong person | 21:46 |
| maco | CkhiKuzad: does it refuse to run without a compositing wm? i thought it just had ugly black bars where the transparency should be or something | 21:46 |
| Snausages | James_-_: what usage is this raid? playback archive or what? | 21:46 |
| James_-_ | daftykins whatever is in the dell poweredge 2650 | 21:46 |
| James_-_ | file server | 21:46 |
| CkhiKuzad | maco, yes it refuses | 21:46 |
| CkhiKuzad | and i have to go.] | 21:46 |
| CkhiKuzad | go* | 21:46 |
| ^paradox^ | blakkheim: yes it happens with mplayer too minus the pixelation | 21:46 |
| ahe | ubuntu netbook remix is nice :)) | 21:47 |
| Sparky57 | @iceroot not sure if its of any importance the card reader is built into the laptp | 21:47 |
| Snausages | James_-_ right... but the usage pattern matters for block sizes & settings... is this serving compressed movies to a single TV set in a home environment? Is this serving high bitrate video to video edit workstaitons? | 21:47 |
| James_-_ | Snausages file server, local, small scale | 21:47 |
| daftykins | adix: i had the same on my computer, with the karmic livecd, though i didn't bother to find a solution - i use digital coaxial but it's basically the same as optical - used to just have to unmute and max out IEC958 | 21:47 |
| ^paradox^ | blakkheim: i just wondered if there was a way to remedy it or not | 21:48 |
| vlt | Sparky57: What about the command I recommended? | 21:48 |
| James_-_ | Snausages small office use, movies, training videos, the music at parties... all kinds of odd stuff, | 21:48 |

I made this forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377929 but haven't heard a peep in a couple days. Basically, as far as I can tell it is a problem with firmware, but I've made little to no progress. It's not a wpasupplicant issue, I know that much at least. | 21:56 |
| yaaar | i just setup a server on 8.04LTS Server AMD64, and just ran 'aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade' and I see several packages "kept back" including the kernel. could somebody enlighten me about that? | 21:56 |
| Dr_Willis | ^paradox^: it has no features i really need. If i want a light destkop - i can just install lvwm, or whatever and run whatever file manager i need.. | 21:56 |
| adix | daftykins, i went to the ubuntu software center.. searched for "mixer" and i installed a mixer called GNOME ALSA Mixer.. Then i opened the mixer and chose IEC958 copyright and disabled the other thingys there.. maybe it works for you too | 21:56 |

I found out something really big, it turns out my microphone is playing my audio, and my mic is working as my speakers, due to why I can't hear my own music, anybody know how to switch these around maybe? | 22:03 |
| Ejdesgaard | infamy, i need /etc/init.d/networking to start on boot | 22:04 |
| infid | Ejdesgaard: man update-rc.d | 22:04 |
| josephnexus | I have everything working (literally, it all works), I can even use recorded micros to type things into a text document if I wanted to... for some reason though, I can Bind keys using "Keyboard Preferences" but once bound, they don't seem to do anything | 22:04 |
| josephnexus | err... not Keyboard Preferences, keyboard shortcuts | 22:04 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: Just a stupid question: Is everything plugged properly? | 22:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Ejdesgaard: if using 9.10 - start usin the 'service' command. and you could put the command to restart things in /etc/rc.local if you wante dto | 22:05 |
| Ejdesgaard | infamy, was that cmd i looked for:P | 22:05 |
| Ejdesgaard | thanks | 22:05 |
| Dextronaught | yes. | 22:05 |
| nvme | brontosaurusrexw, no im just trying to install partimage, but apt cant find it | 22:05 |
| josephnexus | like having G1 do expose, or open a terminal | 22:05 |
| Dextronaught | everything is plugged properly, I'm sure. | 22:05 |
| Dextronaught | it's a laptop anyways. | 22:05 |
| maggs_ | hey, i have what may be a slightly noobish question, i'm trying to run docker on openbox it, to do this the command appears to be "docker -display DISPLAY" with DISPLAY being the x display it connects to, what do i need to put in for DISPLAY? | 22:05 |
| Dextronaught | I can hear Java, but not Flash. | 22:05 |
| Dr_Willis | josephnexus: Youve done more with yours then i have. I just uised the G keys for MMORPG's mainly. rarely used them in linux | 22:05 |
| daftykins | maggs_: try 0:0 | 22:06 |
| brontosaurusrexw | yes, i just had a brief flashback with some app like that, the easy way was to find some 3rd party ... | 22:06 |
| josephnexus | unfortunately, it appears I'm alone | 22:06 |
| josephnexus | :-P | 22:06 |
| brontosaurusrexw | ...repos | 22:06 |
| maestrojed | I have built LAMP server with Ubuntu. I am missing a mail server that would allow me to use php's mail(). What would be the easiest to install/get up and running? I tried setting a sendmail path in php.ini but I think sendmail doesn't work | 22:06 |
| === vlad__ is now known as badserii | ||
| maggs_ | daftykins: i get a segmentation fault that causes it to abort | 22:07 |
| Dextronaught | vlt, can you help? :( | 22:07 |
| daftykins | maggs_: ok try just "0" after that i'm out of ideas ^_^ | 22:07 |
| maggs_ | you've already had more ideas than me :D | 22:07 |
| maggs_ | i got the same | 22:08 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: What does that mean you can hear java ...? | 22:08 |
| brontosaurusrexw | maestrojed: the other thing that isnt sendmail, and configuring that as relay kind of stuff did the trick here, so basically my isp is sending mail | 22:08 |
| ^paradox^ | well this has been fun and all, but is there any fix for the second or two pause and pixelation issue when i scroll video backward or forward in vlc and mplayer? or is just something ill have to deal wit? | 22:08 |
| Dextronaught | I can hear Java on Firefox | 22:08 |
| Dextronaught | I can hear the music from the game I play, RuneScape | 22:08 |
| Dextronaught | but can't hear YouTube | 22:08 |
| daftykins | maggs_: ah! one more, try 0.0 | 22:08 |
| djustice | maggs_: the -display option shouldnt be needed. but ":0.0" is the actual name of it. | 22:09 |
| ^paradox^ | mplayer only pauses for a second or two, no pixelation | 22:09 |
| brontosaurusrexw | postfix <- maestrojed | 22:09 |
| Tr1n | Dextronaught: I have the same problem with Karmic | 22:09 |
| Dextronaught | I have Karmic :) | 22:09 |
| Dextronaught | you still have the problem? | 22:09 |
| djustice | maggs_: if your having a segmentation, there is a failure with that particular version for some reason... | 22:09 |
| infid | Dextronaught: try killall firefox && firefox | 22:09 |
| maggs_ | it aborted again, i'll give it a try without -display | 22:09 |
| Dextronaught | you want me to close Firefox? | 22:09 |
| hughworm | I've installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on an Dell mini 10v (1011). All seems fine except the wireless device isn't recognised. wfconfig shows "no wireless extensions". I've tried to find a wireless driver for it but no luck. Dell ships it with 9.04. Any suggestions gratefully recd! | 22:09 |
| maestrojed | brontosauru Yeah I just want my php scripts to send mail but am at a loss. So I have to install postfix? I tried that once but failed. I will give it another go. Thanks for your help. | 22:09 |
| Aled | In Xfce, how do you set the menu system so that you don't have to click off the current open menu to switch to the next | 22:09 |
| infid | restarting it works for me sometimes when sound stops working only in firefox/flash | 22:09 |
| Aled | as in, on the "Applications" and "Places" bit | 22:09 |
| Tr1n | Dextronaught: I can't hear flash in Firefox or Chrome. Other apps (sopcast, audacious) work fine | 22:10 |
| maggs_ | figures, i'm fairly new at most of this, but liked crunchbang enough to have a go at setting up openbox myself in 9.10 | 22:10 |
| maestrojed | how can I tell in I have postfix running on ubunutu? | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | I can't hear music from audio CDs | 22:10 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: So, you can hear sound from JAVA coming out of your mic, right? | 22:10 |
| ardchoille | Aled: Try asking in #xubuntu | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | as I said, I think that my audio is my mic, and my mic is being used as my audio | 22:10 |
| djustice | infid: does alsamixer show any funny mixers or channels? | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | err, no vlt | 22:10 |
| djustice | maggs_: still segmenting? | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | I can hear the Java music coming out of my onboard speakers or headset | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | but | 22:10 |
| Aled | Thanks | 22:10 |
| Dextronaught | when I go on a VoIP program called TeamSPeak, I can't talk | 22:11 |
| infid | maestrojed: service --status-all 2> /dev/null | grep post | 22:11 |
| Dextronaught | but if I play music from my CD, ppl hear it out of my mic | 22:11 |
| Dextronaught | and I can't hear it | 22:11 |
| coz_ | Dextronaught, it comes out of your mic?? | 22:11 |
| xguru | what would cause my window boarders to disappear when i enable desktop effects? | 22:11 |
| adix | daftykins, i can't get 5.1 sound to work.. the problem is probably with ubuntu not knowing im able to play surround.. drivers maybe | 22:11 |
| Dextronaught | well... yes, but not literally | 22:11 |
| maggs_ | i think i can see a couple of pixels that are trying to be docker, "docker -display :0.0" seemed to work daftykins | 22:12 |
| Dextronaught | yes it comes out of my mic | 22:12 |
| adix | daftykins, i can only choose "IEC958 Stereo output" | 22:12 |
| maestrojed | infid: I got [ - ] postfix. Since is showed up does that mean its running or does the minus mean its not running? | 22:12 |
| coz_ | xguru, did you install compizconfig-settings-manager and then open th | 22:12 |
| coz_ | xguru open that and check if window decorations plugin is enabled | 22:12 |
| xguru | coz_: yea it is | 22:12 |
| sam_ | where is a good place to ask about running a script using xargs? | 22:12 |
| iceroot | sam_: #bash | 22:12 |
| daftykins | adix yeah that's pretty much what i always got when trying to use mplayer - it would decode everything always instead of doing passthrough. sadly i went back to windows for working AC3 and DTS passthrough :( | 22:13 |
| sam_ | ta | 22:13 |
| ardchoille | sam_: You might try #bash | 22:13 |
| coz_ | Dextronaught, whoa thats odd.... ah in terminal alsamixer see if the sliders are muted or turned down | 22:13 |
| xguru | i had enlightenment installed and removed it and then it died...i wonder if the removal of e17 removed soemthing i still need | 22:13 |
| Dextronaught | they're all fine | 22:13 |
| Dextronaught | coz | 22:13 |
| brontosaurusrexw | maestrojed: htop, f3, search for postfix | 22:13 |
| coz_ | xguru, well I suppose that's possible do a sudo apt-ge | 22:13 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: Does the sound come out of your mic or not? | 22:13 |
| ardchoille | !wireless | hughworm have you tried this page? | 22:13 |
| Dextronaught | yes | 22:13 |
| ubottu | hughworm have you tried this page?: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 22:13 |
| Dextronaught | I was thinking dumb, yes vlt, it does | 22:13 |
| brontosaurusrexw | maestrojed: in my gnome, there is also a gui called 'services' | 22:13 |
| coz_ | xguru, sorry do a sudo apt-get update then a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:14 |
| infid | maestrojed: it would show [+] if running | 22:14 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: Then AFAIK it nust be plugged wrong | 22:14 |
| maestrojed | brontosauru: I am trying but you are a little over my head I think :) | 22:14 |
| maestrojed | infid: Thanks | 22:14 |
| Dextronaught | my plugs are plugged in correctly | 22:14 |
| xguru | coz_: nothing new | 22:14 |
| coz_ | xguru, mmm | 22:15 |
| Dextronaught | ok, I switched my headphones to mic, and mic to headphones, and nothing | 22:15 |
| nvme | ardchoille, hmm turns out it was just the mit mirror i was using that didnt have it,weird | 22:15 |
| brontosaurusrexw | maestrojed: well, postfix is way over my head..., so listen with care (i was just lucky i guess) | 22:15 |
| ^paradox^ | im guessing ill have to live with the problem. its only a small thing anyways | 22:15 |
| xguru | coz_: how do i see what ubuntu is using such as metacity, emerald, etc? | 22:15 |
| ardchoille | nvme: Well, glad you got it sorted | 22:15 |
| hughworm | ubottu: Thanks I'm having a look now... | 22:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:16 |
| coz_ | xguru, well you could try in terminal gtk-window-decorator --replace and disown or from alt+F2 gtk-window-decorator --replace | 22:16 |
| vlt | Dextronaught: I have no idea. Sound coming out of mics is nearly always a cabling problem I think | 22:16 |
| coz_ | xguru, preferabley from terminal for error reporting | 22:16 |
| Dextronaught | I didn't have this problem on XP lol | 22:16 |
| xguru | coz_: gtk-windows-decorator: No such file or directory | 22:17 |
| coz_ | xguru, are you on gnome? | 22:17 |
| xguru | yup | 22:17 |
| daftykins | *gtk-window-decorator - no 's' i think | 22:17 |
| coz_ | xguru, mmm sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome | 22:17 |
| xguru | newest version installed | 22:18 |
| coz_ | xguru, damn | 22:18 |
| xguru | :/ | 22:18 |
| coz_ | xguru, ah ... open synaptic package manager hit the Search button and type in compiz | 22:18 |
| yaaar | hey guys, if i've got a new 8.04LTS Server install and 'aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade' gives me a bunch of "kept back" packages (notably the kernel) is it better to do 'aptitude install <packages>' or 'aptitude full-upgrade' ??? | 22:19 |
| ardchoille | xguru: are you by chance looking for compizconfig-settings-manager ? | 22:19 |
| coz_ | xguru, you should have al least these packages installed http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/123.png | 22:20 |
| firefly2442 | Is it possible to create a standard user without sudo (root) access but still give them the ability to install packages? | 22:20 |
| Slart | yaaar: isn't that the whole meaning of "safe upgrade" ? | 22:20 |
| ardchoille | yaaar: aptitude full-upgrade should take care of those held back packages | 22:20 |
| lakota | can firefox get virus running from ubuntu 8.10? | 22:20 |
| Slart | yaaar: to only do minor upgrades that doesn't require you to install new stuff or reboot | 22:20 |
| josephnexus | lakota... it is possible, but nearly impossible | 22:20 |
| josephnexus | not enough for you to worry about | 22:20 |
| Slart | lakota: firefox itself is vulnerable to the same stuff on ubuntu as on windows.. I don't really know of any viruses for firefox though.. vulnerabilities might be a better word, I think | 22:21 |
| coz_ | xguru, also you have to log out and change sessions for E17 is that correct? | 22:21 |
| xguru | yea i have rebooted | 22:21 |
| xguru | i'm looking at the package manager now | 22:21 |
| lakota | what would cause firefox to fill entire screan and loose the x to exit | 22:21 |
| ardchoille | lakota: Read this to know more about viruses on Linux: http://ardchoille42.blogspot.com/2009/02/linux-and-viruses.html | 22:21 |
| sam_ | I have a perl script I would like to apply to a load of html files I have on my local machine This is the script http://pastebin.ca/1748887 I want to dump the output of it into file.txt with each entry below the previous, seperated by """" I am thinking somthing like; find . -name \*.html -print0 | xargs script.pl > file.txt Can someone help me make this work? | 22:21 |
| coz_ | lakota, full screen mode? | 22:22 |
| josephnexus | not a virus | 22:22 |
| Slart | lakota: you pressing F11 ? | 22:22 |
| sam_ | lakota, f11 | 22:22 |
| blakkheim | wow | 22:22 |
| lakota | no on full screan and no on f11 | 22:22 |
| ardchoille | lakota: That could also be done by javascript | 22:22 |
| coz_ | lakota, are you running compiz? | 22:22 |
| mreh | could someone suggest how to get the microphone to "monitor" in the audio mix on my ubuntu system? the mic level seems to register fine, there is no live feedback however | 22:22 |
| coz_ | lakota, and is the entire title bar gone or just the buttons on the title bar? | 22:23 |
| lakota | ahh! f11 fixed it but I dont know how it got there in the first place lol\ | 22:23 |
| coz_ | lakota, ah cool | 22:23 |
| ritesh | hey guys...i was wondering if i can do cookie stuffing in ubuntu...and how can i check if i there are some cookie stuffing done on my end? | 22:23 |
| ardchoille | lakota: in firefox, click Edit > Preferences.. go to the Content tab and click "Advanced" next to "Enable javascript" | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ritesh: im not sure we know what you mean. | 22:23 |
| lakota | ill remember f11 | 22:24 |
| ardchoille | lakota: you may need to turn off some of those options | 22:24 |
| lakota | ardchoille, ok | 22:24 |
| xguru | coz_: installing some unselected stuff...i'll let ya know how it goes... | 22:24 |
| Slart | lakota: as always.. the biggest vulnerability is the user | 22:24 |
| coz_ | xguru, cool | 22:24 |
| v0id_ | 2Slart, +1 | 22:24 |
| KamusHadenes | please, dvd generated with growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso will open in an windows machine? | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: it should. | 22:25 |
| ardchoille | firefly2442: afaik, only users with admin privs can install packages, and that requires sudo | 22:25 |
| KamusHadenes | well, lets hope, thanks Dr_Willis | 22:25 |
| lakota | Slart, yes true and I was on isohunt looking for older ubuntu image. would iso hunt have done it? | 22:25 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: only one wayt o really be sure. | 22:25 |
| ritesh | do you know about cookie stuffing...its a black hat method widely used by internet marketers..suppose like people purchase a lot fo stuff on ebay . they create and save a cookie on your computer when you view certain website | 22:25 |
| firefly2442 | ardchoille, hmm, thanks, I think I'll have to read up on this a little more | 22:26 |
| Slart | lakota: no idea.. I press f11 every now and then by mistake.. I don't think I've ever had a website do it to me though | 22:26 |
| ritesh | Since linux is virus free.. | 22:26 |
| ardchoille | firefly2442: yw | 22:26 |
| KamusHadenes | Dr_Willis: no medias to test, I have 20 images to burn and 20 dvd medias :( | 22:26 |
| coz_ | ritesh, that's not quite true but for the mostpart it is | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: You can mount iso files under windows with the right tools. | 22:26 |
| lakota | Slart, well I guess I may have by mistake lol , hope that was all | 22:26 |
| Slart | ritesh: please tell me this is something you were told sitting around the campfire or something | 22:27 |
| ritesh | coz_, i dont understand? | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !virus | 22:27 |
| ubottu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 22:27 |
| KamusHadenes | Dr_Willis: I meant the jouliet naming stuff, dunno if it burns with it | 22:27 |
| ritesh | Slart, No my dear...i wrote a code.. | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | 'no virus problem is not same as 'no viruses' | 22:27 |
| ritesh | works well on windows...but linus i am not sure..thats why this questions.. | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: not sure. Ive had more issues with dvd's i make under windows.. on linux box's then ive ever had the other way | 22:27 |
| coz_ | ritesh, there are linux viruses they seem to attack servers.... I know my nephew had a virus attack on his companies servers last year but the more popular linux becomes the more frequent the attacks will become also | 22:28 |
| ritesh | one of major methods used by internet money makers.. | 22:28 |
| Slart | ritesh: cookies work the same on linux as on windows.. the mechanisms are the same.. | 22:28 |
| KamusHadenes | thanks guys | 22:28 |
| Losha | KamusHadenes: burn one and then try it. It should work fine. Might wanna burn slow (speed=4) for fewer problems. The Joliet stuff is part of the iso creation, not the burning process.... | 22:28 |
| ritesh | but this is not a virus...this is a session based or flash cookie... | 22:28 |
| KamusHadenes | Losha: the iso was mastered by "devede" | 22:28 |
| KamusHadenes | I was unable to found something about jouliet | 22:28 |
| KamusHadenes | I would use -J and -R, but devede was essential | 22:29 |
| ritesh | normal cookie which gets saved similar to a cookie being saved when you try to open gmail.com | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: i just burn devede iso files with k3b or other simple burning tools.. not a fancy command like you were showing | 22:29 |
| KamusHadenes | Dr_Willis: I'm a command line lover :P | 22:29 |
| ritesh | Well, if i have been infected with something like this cookie how can i check and how i can remove them because i know flash cookies are hard to remove. | 22:29 |
| === cpg|brb is now known as cpg | ||
| lakota | Slart, ok now everytime I open firefox it goes back to filling entire screen and no exit on right side of screen and f11 is only way to get it back , have to push f11 about 3 times to cycle through to right size | 22:30 |
| Snausages | ritesh: flash cookies are not hard to remove | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: i seem to recall burning iso to dvd with a much simpiler command then your example in the past... | 22:30 |
| Losha | KamusHadenes: it should 'just work'. Try it... | 22:30 |
| KamusHadenes | Dr_Willis: hm, please tell me if you remember | 22:30 |
| KamusHadenes | Losha: I don't have an windows machine to try. lets hope that it works when the time comes :P | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: cdrecord perhaps.. its been year+ ago... | 22:31 |
| ritesh | Snausages, we just do clear private data on mozilaa right , but i know it doesnt work.. | 22:31 |
| Slart | ritesh: I think all browsers have some way of clearing out regular cookies, if an online vendor relies on flash "cookies" I would avoid them... as in not even speak their name.. ever | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: thers been sok many changes in the burning area/tools i can barely rember :) | 22:31 |
| KamusHadenes | :) | 22:31 |
| ritesh | yeah all browsers remove nomal cookies , but not able to remove flash cookie.. | 22:31 |
| Losha | KamusHadenes: knock on your neighbour's door and ask them. You're probably the only one in the neighborhood without a windows machine... | 22:31 |
| KamusHadenes | Losha: I'm pretty sure I am, haha. I will ask them, thanks | 22:32 |
| lakota | im trying to clean up a windows vista pc for a friend and I am also wanting to install wubi so they can see how fun ubuntu is. maybe they might switch to ubuntu if they like but I need to find and good virus scanner that dont cost for windows. any one know a good one? | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | KamusHadenes: 'wodim' perhaps -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | odim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -data cd_image.iso | 22:32 |
| trism | ritesh: you can remove them in the flash settings manager on adobe's site | 22:32 |
| Slart | lakota: hmm.. I'm not sure if the full screen setting sticks between restarts.. there has to be a setting somewhere you can change | 22:33 |
| KamusHadenes | hm, I will take a look, thanks Dr_Willis | 22:33 |
| Rodensky | Ubuntu 9.04 - I reinstalled alsamixer after having sound problems, so now I can hear without any problem but the mic isn't working... :\ (alsamixer in the terminal shows everything is up and nothing is muted). What should I do? | 22:33 |
| ritesh | trism, can you explain... | 22:33 |
| trism | ritesh: the adobe site has a flash application that allows you to browse content (and settings) on allowing sites to store content on your computer in flash | 22:34 |
| Slart | ritesh: but "cookie stuffing", as I understood it from the wikipedia article, doesn't really steal any info from you... it's just a way to replace cookies on your computer.. so it would not affect you unless you rely on your cookies.. which you really shouldn't do | 22:34 |
| ritesh | Slart, its not a virus.. | 22:35 |
| ritesh | not harms you in any way.. | 22:35 |
| Slart | ritesh: no.. I never said it was | 22:35 |
| lakota | if I install wubi on a vista pc can ubuntu then scan the windows drive for virus? | 22:35 |
| ritesh | Slart, okay | 22:35 |
| trism | ritesh: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/help/settings/ | 22:35 |
| powertool08 | !clamav | lakota | 22:36 |
| rww | lakota: yes, if you point your virus scanner in Ubuntu at /host | 22:36 |
| powertool08 | lakota: Use clamav in ubuntu to scan windows drives. | 22:36 |
| lakota | powertool08, thanks. | 22:37 |
| Losha | lakota: it's a very roundabout way of virus checking a windows system. Why aren't you running AV software on windows? | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | lakota: it may be easier to track down a live cd with the lates clamav/updates feature. | 22:38 |
| jiffe | anyone gotten fuse 2.7.4 to compile on ubuntu 9.10 with kernel module? | 22:38 |
| bizarrefish | hi, all | 22:38 |
| jiffe | when I try to compile with the kernel module I'm getting the error 'error: ?struct task_struct? has no member named "fsuid"' | 22:38 |
| bizarrefish | i have a computer here which doesn't boot from USB. i can boot the kernel/initrd over PXE, but can i tell the kernel to find the filesystem.squashfs on the USB drive? | 22:39 |
| lakota | Dr_Willis, I was going to try 9.10 like the wubi installer so they can have both ubuntu and windows and see if ubuntu can clean up windows virus | 22:39 |
| bizarrefish | is it as simple as root=/dev/sdb1/casper/filesystem.squashfs ? | 22:40 |

| Dr_Willis | lakota: if you want to clean up windows - its be faster to use a live cd with clamav - I cant stand wubi. Good luck | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest67706: lxde dosent use compiz. | 22:40 |
| apanda | lakota a live cd would be better for that, wubi has to run on the infected pc | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest67706: lxde used the openbox window manager. | 22:41 |
| Guest67706 | ah man, what about flwm? | 22:41 |
| lakota | Dr_Willis, ok thanks. ill do live cd then | 22:41 |

| Guest67706 | so is there anything I can install to have eyecandy on lxde or no? I mainly just like the wobbly windows | 22:44 |
| powertool08 | Losha: Its a minidisc from a digital camcorder dropped in water. The camcorder is dead and didn't finish a proper write before dying. | 22:44 |
| ardchoille | Guest67706: lxde is designed to be light and fast without having much eye candy | 22:45 |

| _theradar | I installed some updates a few days ago and since then I've noticed that when I run guake a python process pops up and starts eating a ton of cpu and memory. Anyone else see something similar? | 22:45 |

| snarkster | has anyone been able to access a motorola Q by connecting it via usb?? | 22:45 |
| Slart | _theradar: check what the full command line is for that python process.. use htop or ps or whatever your favourite tool is | 22:46 |
| Losha | powertool08: you could try ddrescue I suppose, but to be honest, the best data retrieval app I know of is a windows apps: http://www.cdroller.com/ | 22:46 |
| powertool08 | Losha: I'm guessing its not free or cheap? | 22:47 |

| codyduncan | Hello again, friends. I'm having a continuing problem getting WPA to work on my Toshiba Satellite A15. I made this forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377929 but haven't heard a peep in a couple days. Basically, as far as I can tell it is a problem with firmware, but I've made little to no progress. It's not a wpasupplicant issue, I know that much at least. | 22:48 |
| Mr_Fields | thanks | 22:48 |
| Slart | _theradar: that looks like the main guake process.. not sure why it would be gobbling up memory though.. perhaps a bug? | 22:48 |
| Losha | powertool08: the web site says $40.00. Dunno if that's cheap or not. Try ddrescue first. Also, not that some dvd readers do better than others at reading damaged disks, so if you have access to multiple brands of reader, try them all... | 22:48 |
| === MK-1 is now known as MK-BB | ||
| powertool08 | Losha: I tried photorec but didn't have any luck, dd_rescue gives me this: http://pastebin.com/m2e6cf69e | 22:48 |
| Snausages | powertool08: ddrescue should let you recover most of the data... then you may well be able to use handbrake or the like to re-wrap the mpeg stream and then re-burn to another DVD | 22:48 |
| _theradar | Slart: good possibility. I'll see if there's a place I can open a bug report. Thanks for the help! | 22:49 |

| fluffy_mcduff | i uninstalled my desktop environment... | 22:58 |
| Losha | powertool08: the recovery tools use very low level reads bypassing the usual mechanisms so they can read partial blocks etc. I wouldn't expect wine to work particularly well at this... | 22:58 |
| powertool08 | Losha: Good point. | 22:59 |

| trism | ganymede: gdm uses upstart in karmic, so you need to disable /etc/init/gdm.conf (either rename it to something that doesn't end in .conf or include never in start on in the file) | 23:04 |
| Pelo | codyduncan, I just thought the section on manualy setting up wpasupplicant might be usefull | 23:05 |

| Chousuke | zynox: .img files are what, exactly? | 23:21 |
| zynox | kenny, ahh ok thanks. I wasn't sure if there was some diskutil or dd command. | 23:21 |
| Pelo | zynox, do you know of a program that produced .img files ? yes ? extract the .iso to a folder and repack it with the .img app | 23:21 |
| zynox | Chousuke, like a image of a disk. | 23:21 |
| rww | !usb | zynox | 23:21 |
| ubottu | zynox: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 23:21 |
| zynox | Pelo, yes I do | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | zynox: .iso is one :) | 23:22 |
| alex__ | xchat sucks | 23:22 |
| powertool08 | Losha: I think you should shoot them then :) I installed libglade2-0 and libglade2-dev and it configured. | 23:22 |
| Rodensky | Pelo as I wrote everything is up | 23:22 |
| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | iceroot: It was installed into my Downloads directory | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | zynox: it's a CD filesystem image. | 23:22 |
| blakkheim | alex__: use irssi then | 23:22 |
| shane2peru | how can I play a wma file? | 23:22 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: installed with what? extracting by hand? | 23:22 |
| blakkheim | shane2peru: mplayer | 23:22 |
| zynox | shane2peru: vlc | 23:22 |
| alex__ | everything sucks | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | zynox: what matters is the filesystem you need to put on the USB disk | 23:22 |
| Losha | powertool08: sigh.... | 23:22 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, check the sound dialog from the system menu, make sure the correct device is selected for capture | 23:22 |
| argued | Pelo: I guess it was ment for me - tnx, but I cant find the 2.6.32 kernel in synaptic .. it is located @ kernel-ppa/mainline/ as .deb files | 23:22 |
| alex__ | lol | 23:22 |
| shane2peru | zynox, vlc complains and doesn't play it | 23:22 |
| Chousuke | alex__: yes, yes. now go away, please :) | 23:22 |
| kenny | vlc plays just about everything | 23:22 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, you might also want to check permissions to make sure you are allowed to record | 23:22 |
| iceroot | Chousuke: dont feed the trolls | 23:23 |
| zynox | shane2peru, then the .wmv probably has some drm in there. | 23:23 |
| ardchoille | Thanks jrib ! | 23:23 |
| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | iceroot: /Downloads/jdk1.6.0_17/db/docs/html/getstart$ rm -r | 23:23 |
| Rodensky | Pelo - its the correct device as far as i can tell. where do i check the record permissions ? | 23:23 |
| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | rm: missing operand | 23:23 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: man rm | 23:23 |
| Pelo | arghh2d2, karmic is running on the 2.6.31 branch, atm, you'll get updates of those but not for the 2.6.32 one | 23:23 |
| shane2peru | zynox, does that mean I cannot play it? it is posted on a web site it is original content for anyone to play | 23:24 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: rm -rf /Downlaod/jdk1.6.0_17 | 23:24 |
| alex__ | bloody hell dude | 23:24 |
| alex__ | take it easy | 23:24 |
| alex__ | xD | 23:24 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, menu > systsm> admin > user permisson or user settings , select your username and see what is allowed | 23:24 |
| shane2peru | zynox, probably misformated rather than dmr or drm stuff | 23:24 |
| Losha | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: you need to be careful with tat command, you can delete a lot of files by accident using it.... | 23:24 |
| jrib | alex__: please stay on the topic of ubuntu support here | 23:24 |
| kenny | try to convert to a diff format | 23:24 |
| Danskmand1 | Howdy :-) - I have accitently used "cat myfile" on a wrong file. So now, I cannot read the console anymore (only weird signs)....How do I tell linux to show signs and not graphical symbols anymore ? | 23:24 |
| zynox | rww, anyway I was on that FromUSBStick page, and it says "Note: this procedure requires an .img file; it will not work with an .iso file. [Note: this should explain/link to how to obtain an .img file]" "should explain" well it doesn't say anything | 23:25 |
| jrib | Danskmand1: type « reset » | 23:25 |
| hari_ | hi :) | 23:25 |
| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | Losha: That's the point | 23:25 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: mostly every command is working like "command option file/directory" for more infos see the manpage by typing man commandname | 23:25 |
| argued | Pelo: I have issues with transfer speed copying backups and such since 2-3 weeks back, same as many others out there... would you recommend an older version? | 23:25 |
| rww | zynox: Ah, you're using Mac OS X? | 23:25 |
| Pelo | argued, sorry wrote to the wrong guy again karmic is running on the 2.6.31 branch, atm, you'll get updates of those but not for the 2.6.32 one | 23:25 |
| zynox | rww, yes I am :) | 23:25 |
| rww | zynox: no idea, then | 23:25 |
| Pelo | argued, that kind of recommendation is a bit over my head sorry | 23:26 |

| argued | Pelo: np - tnx for the answers tho... I dont have my older versions in but that is easily aranged | 23:27 |
| lakota | can I recover without restart | 23:27 |
| iceroot | Danskmand1: what if you type "bash" will you get a new bash without that problems? | 23:27 |

| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | iceroot: *sighs in relief* Thank you so much. I've been working 5 hours doing it all one code at a time... until I realized that i could do multiple files in the same line. i knew there had to be a way to do it as a batch process but I couldn't understand the ss64.com page | 23:28 |
| argued | Pelo: well the most correct answer is nautilus, I m taking backup on approx 7-8 Gb pictures since I am doing a lot of editing every day | 23:28 |
| Losha | powertool08: libisofs/libisofs.h: you're missing a -dev package. libisofs4-dev on my hardy system. Fix this first then try again.... | 23:28 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: its not called batch, its called recursion | 23:29 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, open a terminal and type gksu users-admin that will open up the same gui permission dialog | 23:29 |

| zynox | I am correct in thinking that grub2 can boot a iso? | 23:29 |
| Pelo | argued, whre are you backing up to ? | 23:29 |
| Danskmand1 | iceroot: I dont even remember.....You remember in former times you could make graphics (yes, simple ones) just with "special letters" - like the "q" looks like a minus, "w" looks like a "t" and so on.... | 23:29 |
| argued | Pelo: the problem is that my hd should be copying these files with 20-25 Mb/s , not 1-2 Mb/s | 23:29 |
| iceroot | zynox: yes | 23:29 |
| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | iceroot: =>Is an ex dos/windows user | 23:29 |
| zynox | So I can just install grub2 to a usb drive and then configure if for the iso? | 23:29 |
| zynox | ahh nice thanks | 23:29 |
| argued | Pelo: another partition on same drive | 23:29 |
| Danskmand1 | Like it uses a different charset ..... | 23:30 |

| bU1137pr00f_m4r5 | iceroot: well thanks again. Gotta go. | 23:30 |
| argued | Pelo: I get that, the physical aspect of the drive should be ok and there is very much free space left | 23:30 |
| powertool08 | Losha: Thanks, that did it. | 23:31 |
| iceroot | bU1137pr00f_m4r5: or download the newest deb from sun and install with dpkg -i nameofthedebfile | 23:31 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, select your user name and then click properties on the right , check in there | 23:31 |
| Danskmand1 | I cannot use a different console - I am using a vmware remote console.... | 23:31 |
| Losha | argued: should be easy enough to install & test a different kernel using synaptic... | 23:31 |
| Pelo | argued, that's the best I can offer, sorry | 23:31 |
| argued | Pelo: these problems started after an kernel update - thats why I came in with these questions | 23:31 |
| jrib | Danskmand1: why can't you start a new console? | 23:31 |
| argued | Losha: that is what I intend to do - ty | 23:31 |
| pmyshkin | how do I disable this thing that keeps recommending packages to me when I type a command that doesn't exist? | 23:32 |
| Losha | powertool08: cool.... | 23:32 |
| jrib | pmyshkin: command-not-found | 23:32 |
| argued | Pelo: tnx a lot anyway and have a good night | 23:32 |
| iceroot | pmyshkin: sudo apt-get remove command-not-found | 23:32 |
| Rodensky | Pelo, how do i change permissions? | 23:32 |
| pmyshkin | jrib, iceroot: can I just disable it for my bash sessions? | 23:32 |
| argued | Rodensky: chmod commands | 23:33 |
| Pelo | argued, well if you need to go back a version then that' s easy enought, open synaptic do a search for 2.6.31 , that should give you the kernel headers and images and such , make sure you have those installed for previous versions ,curent one is 2.6.31-17 so look for -16 | 23:33 |
| Danskmand1 | jrib: Ok...I tried....And learned something new :-) | 23:33 |
| aliciapg | does anyone know a video editor that supports rmvb files? | 23:33 |
| Danskmand1 | jreb: But isnt there a way to change the charset ? | 23:33 |
| blakkheim | Rodensky: man chmod | 23:33 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, are you in the section were you have stuff listed like use fax and write to cd and such ? just click to enable, uncheck to disable | 23:33 |
| powertool08 | Losha: Sadly I don't think its going to recover anything. It has File -> Open Device and help on the menu list, I opened my dvd device, then clicked scan tracks, it found 1 track, then I click that and get "Error creating filesystem" | 23:33 |
| jrib | Danskmand1: « reset » has always fixed that issue for me, I don't know any other way | 23:33 |
| argued | Pelo: I am looking for 13-14 . Think it would be best to take few steps back and start there. | 23:33 |
| Rodensky | Pelo - i can't click it, it's all grey... | 23:34 |
| Pelo | blakkheim, he needs to add himself to the right group | 23:34 |
| iceroot | pmyshkin: i dont know | 23:34 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, doyou have admin priviledges on that computer ? | 23:34 |
| Losha | powertool08: it was always a gamble anyway.... | 23:34 |
| powertool08 | Losha: Yep, but thanks for the suggestion. | 23:34 |
| Danskmand1 | Aah, ok...I see...this is a firewall, a minimized linux - I guess that is the reason... | 23:34 |
| Rodensky | yes pelo, i'm the only one using it... | 23:34 |
| Danskmand1 | But thanks a lot :-) | 23:34 |
| pmyshkin | it seems like the false positive rate on this thing is too high for it to be justified | 23:34 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, close that dialog box and go back to the main one , there should be a little key icon at the bottom | 23:35 |
| toko1231 | hello | 23:35 |
| jrib | Danskmand1: you typed « reset » without the guillemets right? | 23:35 |
| aliciapg | does anyone know a video editor that supports rmvb files? | 23:35 |
| blakkheim | aliciapg: convert it with ffmpeg to something you can use? | 23:35 |
| Rodensky | Pelo, the unlock button is also grey, i can't press it | 23:36 |
| Losha | aliciapg: no, but if you can play it, you can probably convert it to something editable... | 23:36 |
| aliciapg | blakkheim: yeah...but that lowers the quality a _lot_ | 23:36 |
| toko1231 | I've got a what seems to be STA and b43 conflict | 23:36 |
| toko1231 | no wireless | 23:36 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, did you get asked for your password when you entered the gksu users-admin command ? | 23:36 |
| toko1231 | no wireless detected in network manager | 23:36 |
| _the_game | Windows 7 or Ubuntu? Only answer if you've used both. | 23:36 |
| blakkheim | aliciapg: lol.. if you've got an rmvb file i don't think its quality is very high to begin with | 23:36 |
| toko1231 | I've been forward and backward with this thing | 23:37 |
| Losha | aliciapg: sorry, but that's what you get when you use/support proprietary formats.... | 23:37 |
| aliciapg | blakkheim: it is if i downloaded it | 23:37 |
| Rodensky | pelo, yes | 23:37 |
| Pelo | _the_game, wrong channel | 23:37 |
| _the_game | ? | 23:37 |
| _the_game | yeah | 23:37 |
| _the_game | sorry | 23:37 |
| aliciapg | Losha: hey it was the only torrent available | 23:37 |
| Pelo | Rodensky, there there should be nthing greyed out , close that dialog and open it up again with this line users-admin , see what you get | 23:37 |
| blakkheim | aliciapg: how does the fact that you downloaded it change the fact that it's a low quality, proprietary format? | 23:38 |
| Losha | aliciapg: I understand, but that's why your options are limited.... | 23:38 |
| rot26 | what's the name of the tiling window manager that has that little word 'one' in the left top corner? | 23:38 |
| Pelo | _the_game, this is a support channel and as you can see , lots of support going on atm, no time for surveys | 23:38 |

| imran | soreau, it found drivers on 9.04 so I know there are some, but i upgraded to 9.10 today and its not finding | 23:50 |
| soreau | imran: You probably need to install the modalias package for the nvidia driver so it will appear in the jockey driver applet | 23:50 |
| RocketLauncher | imran, i think restricted devices | 23:50 |
| aliciapg | triple_x: oh my question was actually about rmvb files | 23:50 |
| RocketLauncher | Havent' been on Ubuntu in a while on my desktop which has the 8400GS | 23:50 |

| imran | and soreau, what do you mean by "consider the" | 23:51 |
| lillis | and I cant boot liveusbs... cant even find the .img files anymore | 23:51 |
| BitWraith | I'm going to try windows disk check, and if that doesn't find the files, I will just have to reset the machine and start over. :-/ | 23:51 |
| RocketLauncher | imran, somewhere around administration, it's been a while so i dont know | 23:51 |
| lillis | are there no official ubuntu .img? | 23:51 |

| Dr_Willis | lillis: thers no real need for .img any more | 23:52 |

| soreau | imran: You probably want one from the 18x.xx family, then check hardware drivers again | 23:52 |
| Dr_Willis | lillis: youi can also set up grub2 to boot iso files. | 23:52 |
| bonez2046 | what the heck? | 23:52 |
| RocketLauncher | lol ubottu got banned | 23:53 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 23:53 |
| RocketLauncher | That's an awesome FloodBot | 23:53 |
| LjL | RocketLauncher: no, it didn't. | 23:53 |
| lillis | RocketLauncher: no, install it from one, using a Live USB that is | 23:53 |
| imran | soreau, any way to be sure? There are 2 18X's. a 185 and a 180 | 23:53 |
| triple_x | aliciapg: did you think about mpeg 4 ??? | 23:53 |
| genii | lillis: The usual reason for it not finding the CD it booted from is that it doesn't know what driver to use for the motherboard chipset controlling the IDE/SATA bus the CD drive is attached to. Sometimes you can modprobe it in if you know which you need | 23:53 |
| RocketLauncher | lillis, you need unetbootin for that. You saying it's not working? did you check boot order settings somewhere round your bios? | 23:54 |
| soreau | imran: Install both of the modalias packages, then look in the hardware drivers app to see if anything shows up | 23:54 |
| imran | soreau, hold on Update Manager popped up, Im gonna let it update and see if it works | 23:54 |
| lillis | genii: but the Live CD's boot up and the installation works about halfway through the package installation process | 23:54 |
| imran | soreau, if not I will do those packages | 23:54 |
| lillis | then it cant find the cds anymore | 23:54 |
| lillis | (but i can still mount them and expore them if I switch to the console with ALT+F2) | 23:54 |
| triple_x | aliciapg: are you taking about converting files or recording content??? | 23:55 |
| aliciapg | triple_x: converting files i only have rmvb files | 23:55 |
| genii | lillis: Yes, that symptom fits the problem I described | 23:55 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: Have you tried Handbrake? http://handbrake.fr | 23:55 |
| lillis | genii: so you're saying i should modprobe the drivers when the installation error occurs? | 23:55 |
| aliciapg | ardchoille: handbrake can convert files? | 23:55 |
| imran | !handbrake | aliciapg | 23:56 |
| ubottu | aliciapg: handbrake is a an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows. - http://handbrake.fr | 23:56 |
| genii | lillis: No, prior to beginning the install process | 23:56 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: it can convert many media formats, if it's media you're converting | 23:56 |
| Trizicus | I've added winbind and wins to my nsswitch.conf file and when I try to ping netbios computer it resolves it to dns and not wins. Here is what I get when i ping: http://pastebin.com/m2433380 | 23:56 |
| aliciapg | ardchoille: high quality? | 23:56 |
| JULinuxUser | I have a problem. I can edit my Gnome-Panel however when I remaster Ubuntu 9.10 the configuration goes back to default. How can I make it permanent? | 23:56 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: depends on the settings you specify | 23:56 |
| JULinuxUser | Where are the config files and where are the default config files? | 23:56 |
| aliciapg | ardchoille: hm...i didn't realize that converted files, i'll have to try it since i already have it installed >-< | 23:57 |
| RocketLauncher | Anyone here use awesomewm? How do I get a 12-hour clock to display rather than a 24-hour clock? I can read 24-hour but I prefer 12-hour. | 23:57 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: It's worth a look | 23:57 |
| triple_x | aliciapg: try this link not sure on the quality ???? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1021075 | 23:57 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: I use handbrake to convert mdeia files to something my cell hones can use | 23:57 |
| aliciapg | ardchoille: ah nice i shall try that then | 23:58 |
| aliciapg | ardchoille: thanks ^-^ | 23:58 |
| JULinuxUser | Anyone see my question? | 23:58 |
| ardchoille | aliciapg: yw, also see what triple_x said | 23:58 |
| aliciapg | triple_x: yes i've tried mencoder, but the quality wasn't ...as good as i would have liked | 23:58 |
| aliciapg | haha | 23:58 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 23:58 |
| Pelo | JULinuxUser, seen it, can't answer it, somewhere in ~/.gnome or something like that I expect | 23:58 |
| JULinuxUser | oh | 23:59 |
| JULinuxUser | I found the applications.menu or whatever under .config | 23:59 |
| Dr_Willis | JULinuxUser: i imagine that remastering does not take config files from the users home. You would have to put them some where for the remaster to use. like /etc/skel perhaps | 23:59 |
| JULinuxUser | Right | 23:59 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_willis I did that | 23:59 |
| genii | lillis: The usual two chipsets this works on require either the sata_mv (marvell chipset) or the sata_via | 23:59 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: was just gonna say that | 23:59 |
| lillis | genii: thanks! will try that.. | 23:59 |
| JULinuxUser | Dr_willis I coppied all the user's config files to /etc/skel but it didn't do any good for the menu | 23:59 |
