| StevenX | How do the command prompt to print something to a file (after the results are already on the screen)? | 00:01 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: rerun the command redirecting output to a file ? | 00:02 |
| StevenX | erUSUL: It's a very CPU intensive process, so is there a way not to have to re-run the command? | 00:03 |
| erUSUL | StevenX: use a mouse to copy and paste ? GNU screen has a copy mode but plain terminal emulators do not have it afaik | 00:04 |

| kslen | when is the gnome-screensaver normally started? with regular application startup or is it during boot? | 00:09 |
| syn-ack | jmcantrell: Don't you think thats a little out of the scope of this channel and yes, erUSUL is correct | 00:09 |
| syn-ack | kslen: it's started as part of the list of processes to be started with X | 00:09 |
| erUSUL | noren: yes; but what folder are we talking about ? | 00:09 |
| noren | !permission | 00:09 |
| jmcantrell | erUSUL: yes. it appears that i can ping other machines on my network by hostname, but one is a fresh install ubuntu server that i'm unable to do this with. | 00:09 |
| ubottu | An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 00:09 |

| syn-ack | Um, no I will not pastebin that file to you | 00:12 |
| Real_Ubot | erUSUL: Yes, maybe. I just did this: scp -r /home/username1/cat/ username2@ip:/home/username2/cat/ where "username2" "ip" is the client user and client ip. The doesn't work but it does from client to server. | 00:12 |
| kslen | syn-ack, ok, the part which launches gnome-screensaver then. | 00:12 |
| noren | erUSUL: i want all the files and folder in that folder to have read write permission, how can i do that?? what permission my .lyric folder sud have so that all the folders and files within them have the same kind of permission | 00:12 |
| Real_Ubot | erUSUL: That doesn't work. But from client to server it doesn. Why? | 00:12 |
| datz | Hello, for some reason in the login menu, I decided to try the magnifier. Big mistake. gdm froze, now everytime I try to login it freezes at the login screen. I'm using 9.10 | 00:12 |
| erUSUL | Real_Ubot: becouse the client does not have a server running | 00:12 |
| kslen | syn-ack, pardon. ment ?, not . :D | 00:12 |
| Real_Ubot | erUSUL: It worked before? Before I started to use keys? | 00:13 |
| erUSUL | noren: chmod -R 755 ~/lyrics | 00:13 |
| noren | thnks erUSUL | 00:13 |
| kslen | oh, the entry was still intact in the startup applications list, just disabled.. -.- | 00:14 |
| erUSUL | Real_Ubot: then maybe you have to copy the keys around ? the server key to the client? ask in #openssh | 00:14 |
| kslen | aparently karmic ignores .xinitrc | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | kslen: it uses .xsession i recall. 'startx' uses .xinitrc if it exists | 00:15 |
| erUSUL | kslen: xinitrc is only used when you do startx. | 00:15 |

I removed wubi from windows as the instructions described and now i am not left with any ability to but to ubuntu. I feel that i copied everything cor | 00:30 |

| grkblood | how can i add multiple m2ts files to an AVCHD folder? | 00:36 |
| grkblood | can i just throw new ones in there? | 00:36 |
| fission6 | well this is my issue, i dont have a live cd (no burner). i installed wubi got it working, then used gparted and created a new partition and swap space. then ran lvpm to move wubi to its own parition. i then rebooted went to windows and uninstalled wubi. then i rebooted and now i can no longer get into ubuntu. i feel grub is not picking up on the new partition i moved wubi/ubuntu to? | 00:36 |

| daftykins | !grub | fission6 | 00:38 |
| ubottu | fission6: 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. | 00:38 |
| jeiworth | fission6: yes, it seems like that, you can, iirc, boot into grub and manually start your ubuntu from the new partition though | 00:39 |
| fission6 | jeiworth: would you mind walking me through how id do that breifly | 00:39 |
| Bookman | Maybe ubuntu cannot play back modern DVD releases anymore? | 00:39 |

| Bookman | syn-ack, yeah, tried that. Could not figure out what I needed. | 00:43 |
| syn-ack | brb | 00:44 |
| atealtha | nefast: I added what I wanted there, but SCIM doesn't seem to change to the different layouts, it just shows USA | 00:44 |

| Axle | How can I set up an FTP for this? | 00:47 |
| trism | atealtha: in 9.10 they are switching from SCIM to ibus, I couldn't actually get scim working correctly, but you can configure ibus by installing the input methods for your language in System/Administration/Language Support; selecting ibus as the input method and configuring ibus in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences; then rebooting; you can start ibus with ctrl+space | 00:48 |

| nexact | hello all, curiously, is there any existing tools that can be used to manage apache and all is configuration files (add/del vhost, etc) ? | 01:16 |

| woodyjlw | if my laptop wakes to log in screen from suspend and I can not access my synaptics touchpad or keyboard. is there another function key that might recover use of the keyboard? I have a bluetooth mouse and it works when touchpad and keyboard dont.... | 01:17 |
| rootlinuxusr | nexact, webmin; but I didnt think that was recommended anymore... | 01:17 |
| triple_xxx | hello | 01:17 |
| nexact | rootlinuxusr, yea, wont use that, certainly ;) | 01:18 |
| triple_xxx | got some great news here | 01:18 |
| woodyjlw | is there a way to have a virtual keyboard that I can use the bluetooth mouse on? | 01:18 |
| triple_xxx | Apt-fast over apt-get here is a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2hmO42s-tc&feature=fvw | 01:18 |
| rahduke | someone please comiserate with me about this divx streaming nonsense, its the slowest thing ever... how is this possible? | 01:19 |
| rootlinuxusr | Which is more recommended - apt or aptitude? | 01:19 |
| rahduke | -apt | 01:19 |
| triple_xxx | apt-fast works about 4 times as fast as apt-get works ,but I am not a computer whizze so some one needs to figure out its actual speed | 01:19 |
| rahduke | someone figure out why streaming divx is so damn slow | 01:20 |
| CodeWar | still cant seem to be able to access my cdrom driver from 9.10 | 01:20 |
| CodeWar | anybody? | 01:20 |
| triple_xxx | this link states 26 times faster then apt-get this seems to be all hype http://www.mattparnell.com/projects/apt-fast-and-axel-roughly-26x-faster-apt-get-installations-and-upgrades.html | 01:20 |
| triple_xxx | apt-fast uses axel which is a download acclerator I downloaded seamonkey the package for openoffice with apt-fast in about 11 to 12 seconds | 01:22 |
| triple_xxx | with apt-get I got seamonkeys downloaded in about 48 seconds | 01:22 |
| unop | rootlinuxusr, apt is the library/platform. aptitude is just one of many tools that uses apt as a backend. maybe you were referring to apt-get there? | 01:22 |
| datzy | Hi, my login screen freezes whenever I get to it, I've managed to log in via ssh and stop gdm, now, how do I restor my xorg.conf. It is the mangnifier that freezes the login screen, so I need to find a way for it to stop from trying to load when I start | 01:22 |
| triple_xxx | rww: give apt-fast a try it really is faster at downloads then apt-get | 01:23 |
| ultraparadigm | Well Datzy, it's obviousely a configuration you have to change, but in the mean time, you can change the name of the process so that Xorg can't find the magnifier program, that way you can log in for now | 01:24 |
| triple_xxx | Dr_Willis: give apt-fast a try you will like it it runs great | 01:24 |
| CodeWar | what is the right way to find out what device my cdrom drive is on in my system | 01:24 |

| phong_ | hello guys | 01:24 |
| NanoGuy | hi | 01:24 |
| moore | can anyone lend a hand on gnome-do? | 01:25 |
| datzy | ultraparadigm: How would I go about doing this? | 01:26 |
| sabgenton | I have a bad interfaces file which is casuing ubuntu not to start (even in recovery mode) | 01:26 |
| ultraparadigm | Datzy, When the OS starts up, if you can't log into to X, then press CTRL-ALT-F1 to swich to a regular TTY | 01:26 |
| ultraparadigm | .... | 01:27 |
| sabgenton | is there some key I can press on start up to tell it to ask me if it should load stuff? | 01:27 |
| ultraparadigm | Then find the magnifier program. (do you know where it is) After you find it rename it to something like gdm_old | 01:28 |
| petsounds | moore, what's your question? | 01:28 |
| ultraparadigm | rename gdm gdm_old --- Then restart | 01:28 |
| moore | i'm just trying to figure-out where gnome-do hides its cache... | 01:28 |
| datzy | ultraparadigm: I see | 01:29 |
| moore | i changed a bunch of icons, but gnome-do doesn't recognize it. | 01:29 |
| ultraparadigm | or rather "sudo gdm gdm_old" Provided that gdm is the name of the executable. I don't know where it is though, you will have to find it | 01:29 |
| paulmer | can someone give me a 30 second crashcourse on ubuntu/debian? | 01:29 |
| paulmer | what's the command to install stuff | 01:29 |
| paulmer | apt_get? | 01:29 |
| paulmer | I keep doing pkg_add, I'm too used to freebsd lolz. | 01:29 |
| datzy | ultraparadigm: ok | 01:29 |
| NanoGuy | yes thats it | 01:29 |
| daftykins | sudo apt-cache search x; sudo apt-get install x; | 01:30 |

| sabgenton | doe's anyone know the way to make ubutun ask you about each service as it starts up? | 01:34 |
| sabgenton | used to be a shortcut | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm, i dont recall ever seeing that feature sabgenton You mean like 'Do you want to start ssh? (y/n)' | 01:35 |
| sabgenton | yeah! | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | nerer seen that | 01:36 |
| sabgenton | you don't rember seeing it in ubuuntu? | 01:36 |
| NotTooSmart | wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? | 01:36 |
| sabgenton | I know I seen it in other distros | 01:36 |
| syn-ack | ssh server is not included as part of the default ubuntu install | 01:36 |
| syn-ack | which is why you don't see that question like you do in other distros. | 01:37 |
| sabgenton | Dr_Willis: ok well failling that what do I add at the end of a boot line to enter single user mode | 01:37 |

| sabgenton | syn-ack: yeah but it wasn't just for ssh | 01:37 |
| sabgenton | it was for all services starting up | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tpinto: it should work. | 01:38 |
| NotTooSmart | tpinto, just swap the drive, it will keep working | 01:38 |
| sabgenton | ask for each step by step | 01:38 |
| NotTooSmart | wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | sabgenton: not a feature of ubuntu that ive ever seen | 01:38 |
| sabgenton | I think it was i | 01:38 |
| tpinto | ok, many thanks :) | 01:38 |
| sabgenton | for interactive | 01:38 |
| sabgenton | maybe that was gentoo | 01:38 |
| sabgenton | I thougtht redhat had something too | 01:38 |

| paulmer | wtf, ubuntu is weird. Why are the UUID's in my fstab | 01:40 |
| paulmer | and not typical device entries | 01:40 |
| blakkheim | paulmer: you answered your own question | 01:40 |
| NotTooSmart | paulmer, change them for /dev/device ...... | 01:40 |
| paulmer | blakkheim, device entries as in /dev/sdx | 01:41 |
| paulmer | or hdx | 01:41 |
| blakkheim | paulmer: i know what you meant | 01:41 |
| paulmer | I'ven ever seen UUID before | 01:41 |
| paulmer | in an fstab | 01:41 |
| NotTooSmart | uuid causes problems for me | 01:41 |
| deltaray_ | I'm running 9.10 and am trying to recover my grub setup using this howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), but I'm running into issues. | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | using UUID's is not weird. many disrtos are using them in fstab now | 01:41 |
| blakkheim | paulmer: what i was saying is that the reason was in your question, "ubuntu is weird" | 01:41 |
| alankila | paulmer: it's a fixed way to refer to a particular filesystem no matter what device node it gets mapped to | 01:41 |
| paulmer | oh | 01:41 |
| paulmer | :D | 01:41 |
| deltaray_ | What do I need to do from a 9.10 CD to load grub2 back to the MBR? | 01:41 |
| paulmer | alankila, yeah. But device nodes rarely get swapped around | 01:42 |
| majorjunk0 | why cant the partitioner in the ubuntu installer find the ex4 partition i created on my HD? | 01:42 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: you could chroot into the installed system. and use update-grub or use update-grub with the proper options to tell it where to install to. | 01:42 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: Thanks. I tried running update-grub from a chroot and that didn't reinstall grub on the MBR. It did seem to complete without error though | 01:43 |
| syn-ack | The reason for using a UUID is so that it doesnt matter where the disk is placed on the device tree, the system still knows where to boot and mount from | 01:43 |
| alankila | paulmer: I bet it's fallout from the hda/sda switch which happened couple of versions ago, actually. | 01:43 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: or if it did install grub, I can't see it on boot. | 01:43 |
| deltaray_ | grub2 is new to me. | 01:43 |
| syn-ack | that was to you, paulmer | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | http://gadgetmix.com/index/how-to-restrore-grub-bootloader-in-ubuntu-9-10-standard-and-netbook-remix/ | 01:43 |
| Dr_Willis | seems rather clear on the command. :) | 01:43 |
| stealyourface | cd mrxvt | 01:44 |
| paulmer | syn-ack, a smart solution indeed.. | 01:44 |
| stealyourface | !f | 01:44 |
| paulmer | especially for those of us who have finicky machines | 01:44 |
| paulmer | that like to swap them around | 01:44 |
| NotTooSmart | wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ? | 01:44 |
| paulmer | Where do you lookup the UUID for a partition? | 01:44 |
| syn-ack | paulmer: is it's not that weird afterall. | 01:44 |
| syn-ack | http://serverfault.com/questions/3132/how-do-i-find-the-uuid-of-a-partition | 01:45 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: yeah, I tried using that sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda and that's what I'm saying completed without error, but that didn't work. | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !uuid | 01:45 |
| ubottu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 01:45 |
| deltaray_ | I also tried grub-update | 01:45 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: the data transfer rates are lowish. I have UDMA 6 and measure 77 MB/s... I don't know what the UDMA5 rate was, don't remember it any more | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: cry chrooting into the installed system and using the update-grub command perhaps | 01:45 |
| alankila | the cached reads test is irrelevant, it's a memory-to-memory kind of test. That also indicates that you have a low-end system, though | 01:45 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, udma5 is supposed to be 100mb/sec and im getting like 46, I know it wont be 100, but less than half? | 01:46 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: When I try that, it says | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: You only have the 1 hard drive? | 01:46 |
| deltaray_ | "Cannot find list of partitions!" | 01:46 |
| sabgenton | ok I knowtcie recovery mode option is just puting single at the end | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: thers some extra commands you have to do befor you chroot | 01:46 |
| sabgenton | so fat lot of difference me entering it myself | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2 | 01:46 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: I have 2 hard drives, /dev/sda1 has Linux on it, there is also a swap part ont hat drive, then /dev/sdb1 has Windows XP | 01:46 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: be sure the bios isent accidently booting the other hd. | 01:47 |
| gizmobay | Anyway to clear the last command in history without clearing the whole history? Going to rar a directory with pass via CLI | 01:47 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, disregard | 01:47 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: yes... overheads, perhaps a low speed of CPU harming it ... Not sure | 01:47 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: Ok, I didn't do the bind /sys partition, forgot about that one. | 01:47 |
| Dr_Willis | http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide has some commands i always do befor i chroot.. see commands 1-6 | 01:47 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, my other drive is getting 66 or so, so atleast I know its working | 01:47 |
| OldParr | where does ubuntu saves the packages installed with aptitude ? | 01:48 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: you can use -i flag to check which UDMA mode is actually being used | 01:48 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: the active mode is marked by * | 01:48 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, well, I think I have a kernel bug, so I had to force 80 wire detection, now udma5 is selected, before it was udma2 | 01:48 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: Thanks, that worked, but does that install grub to the MBR? It doesn't really say. | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | deltaray_: you did tell it to install to sda and not sda1 ? | 01:49 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, now dmesg | grep ata says they are both configured for udma/100 | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | sda = the mbr of the drive.. sda1 = the boot record of the partition | 01:49 |
| deltaray_ | Ok, looks like it did after checking with dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | strings | 01:49 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: ah. Okay. Or maybe you have cd-rom on the same ide channel, that commonly forces to udma2 | 01:49 |
| deltaray_ | Grub shows up in that output. | 01:49 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, no sir, I have no cd-rom drives on this machine | 01:50 |
| deltaray_ | Dr_Willis: Yes, I did say sda | 01:50 |
| deltaray_ | I'm actually not new to Linux at all, just new to grub2. | 01:50 |
| deltaray_ | Ok, well I'll try rebooting now and see what happens. | 01:51 |
| NotTooSmart | alankila, im guessing since im getting over 33mb/sec that the force 80 wire detection did work. | 01:51 |
| alankila | NotTooSmart: yes, I guess. | 01:52 |

| OldParr | Dr_Willis: does aptitude saves packages to disk by default or do you have to configure it to do it? | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | OldParr: it works the same as apt-get does. saves them to the cache | 01:59 |
| Dr_Willis | wouldent make much sence for it to not work that way | 01:59 |
| OldParr | Dr_Willis: by default, it does it? | 01:59 |

| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: I foresee them switching ti livedvd in the not so distant future | 02:09 |
| Santisnight | anyone? | 02:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ardchoille: i will be suprised when they do that. | 02:09 |
| ardchoille | I think kubuntu is already doing that in the next release or so | 02:10 |
| N1XF0RC3 | ho | 02:10 |
| N1XF0RC3 | hi | 02:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I think they need to get rid of wubi also. :) | 02:10 |
| triple_xxx | So anyone look at apt-fast????? | 02:10 |

| Daugha|n | morphias: Can try syslog, but, I didnt have one in mind, just pointing you in a directio to start looking. | 02:15 |
| paulmer | Nevermind, I am daft - I didn't bind /dev to /mnt/ubuntu/dev | 02:15 |
| jeffreyf | hajmola, are you using a router or direct to the broadband modem? | 02:15 |
| morphias | okay thanks Daugha|n .. | 02:15 |

| OldParr | is normal that firestarter crashes in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 02:16 |
| OldParr | is normal that pidgin crashes when conecting to msn protocol in ubuntu 9.04 ? | 02:17 |
| zzt | hi | 02:17 |
| jeffreyf | hajmola...You may need to reset the router between connections (power it down and switch computers on the wire). As the DHCP server has already registered the computer you HAD connected...OR if you wait a few minutes between disconnect and connecting the other system, that may work also.... | 02:17 |
| hajmola | jeffreyf, that makes sense, thanks. It's a battery powered modem so should I pull the battery out too or press the reset button on back? | 02:18 |
| Axle | How do I find out what group is running apache? | 02:19 |
| jeffreyf | hajmola...a reset should do... | 02:19 |

| syn-ack | Flannel: good to know... I havent run it in a while obviously | 02:22 |
| morphias | Daugha|n, hmm... syslog shows a ntupdate / time server exchange around the time when my laptop kinda froze up... but there isn't like an obvious "error" message. | 02:22 |
| Dracofodder | how do I backout my current version of flash plugin to something earlier... Synaptic shows 10.0.42.34ubuntu0.9.10.1 but its been giving me some odd problems and I wanted to try an earlier version. | 02:22 |
| keepsake | Something in my home folder is preventing window decorators and the desktop to start properly; what could the culprit be? | 02:22 |

| jeffreyf | ultraparadigm Do the bluetooth devices behave out of the room? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Tanthrix: for a linux to linux - nfs may be MUCH faster then samba | 02:40 |
| Tanthrix | Dr_Willis: I'll have a look, thanks. This is windows to linux though, so I'm stuck with smb | 02:41 |
| keepsake | Viper1432, daftykins: If it helps, here's some context: I updated to karmic a couple of days ago, and until yesterday, everything worked perfectly. After an update (it seems) things started to go broken. | 02:41 |
| Tanthrix | Dr_Willis: And when I set it up, I actually copied the smb.conf over from my old system, so maybe there are some new things I ought to enable since this is a newer version of smb. | 02:41 |

| Viper1432 | all my "issues" went away. | 02:41 |
| keepsake | Viper1432: Was it a distro update for you or just regular software updates? | 02:42 |

| Viper1432 | keepsake, I started having problems after a distro update, and it got worse with updates. The clean install (keeping /home) resolved everything. | 02:42 |
| jeffreyf | ultraparadigm, if you take the laptop, mouse and headphones out of the room, do they behave | 02:43 |
| jonaskoelker | bigdavjoker: try installing it with apt-get | 02:43 |
| keepsake | Viper1432: I'm guessing that involves downloading the disc now >> | 02:43 |
| jonaskoelker | bigdavjoker: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install <package name> | 02:43 |
| ultraparadigm | jeffreyf, oh I see lol, let me try down the hall | 02:43 |
| daftykins | keepsake: you got many packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to indicate those most recent updates? | 02:43 |
| keepsake | daftykins: Tons | 02:44 |
| bigdavjoker | jonaskoelker, I get the same meesage unresovlable dependicies but when I look up the package it says it is in universe | 02:44 |
| Viper1432 | keepsake, do you remember what update apparently started to cause the issues? points to daftykins comment. | 02:44 |
| bigdavjoker | jonaskoelker, libtaoframework is one of them | 02:44 |
| keepsake | Viper1432, daftykins: I have at least a ton of files in here, I'll pastebin what I have. | 02:44 |
| jonaskoelker | bigdavjoker: might it be only of the "wrong" versions? | 02:44 |
| daftykins | keepsake: ah tbh i think i'm too newb to deduce any further! distro updates scare me so i may be tempted to give in to reinstalling like Viper1432 says :S | 02:45 |
| melwtech35 | where can i get some expert advice on a BootChart :>? | 02:45 |
| daftykins | keepsake: i might tar everything in ~/ myself and add back only the configs for apps you need if you test it as working | 02:45 |
| ultraparadigm | jeffreyf, I'm out in the hall way, and they don't seem to improve any. I can still hear the headphones fine untill I move the mouse | 02:45 |
| keepsake | daftykins: Haha, thanks anyway, I'll see if I can figure something out. It's weird that a secondary account works though. | 02:45 |
| Tanthrix | Dr_Willis: I should clarify that when I said smb share, I meant a windows share I had cifs mounted. Would doing anything to my smb.conf actually affect this? | 02:45 |
| keepsake | daftykins: Would ubuntu boot with everything in ~ tar'd? | 02:46 |
| daftykins | keepsake: yeah makes it sound like it must be configs :S good luck :) | 02:46 |

| ultraparadigm | ok | 02:47 |
| daftykins | keepsake: not sure i'm afraid | 02:47 |

| RandomUsr_ | hello | 02:48 |
| jeffreyf | ultraparadigm. what model headphones? | 02:48 |
| Tanthrix | meganerd: That's what I figured. So that means, speeding up cifs mounts will need to be done elsewhere. | 02:48 |
| thasp | i miss my input devices | 02:48 |
| Tanthrix | It's just so strange - I've got the same share mounted on both this old arch system, and my new ubuntu system. Side by side, it takes a half second to list all the files on the old arch system, and 6 seconds for Ubuntu. | 02:49 |
| bigdavjoker | jonaskoelker, Yeah I was a bit confused I thought if it was in the list that was the point that it should be able to get whatever it depened on I found one other forum a couple people were having the same problem but not responses thanks for the help | 02:49 |

| melwtech35 | meganerd, not to make it unstable but perhaps trim some of the unnecessary stuff ubuntu has? its a laptop so fast shutdown and start up is necessary | 02:52 |

| Tanthrix | meganerd: No problem. What is slow is the file traversal. It takes a half second to ls -R 3000 files on this samba share on my old system, and 6-7 seconds on my new system. | 02:53 |
| meganerd | melwtech35: my primary system is a laptop, 9.10 is faster than 9.04, I am not sure how fast I could get it to go | 02:53 |

| ultraparadigm | jefferyf, but I can use the mic with a stereo profile | 02:54 |

| keepsake | daftykins, Viper1432: Thanks for your help, I've managed to stumble upon the solution: rename as many hidden folder as I can =D I've lost all of my settings but at least it works now. | 02:56 |
| meganerd | melwtech35: yes, but I doubt it has any effect on boot time | 02:56 |
| daftykins | keepsake: cool :) | 02:57 |
| melwtech35 | meganerd, so ubuntu installs Alsa and PulseAudio ? is there a need for both? or is it safe to remove | 02:57 |
| keepsake | daftykins: Although, I have to say, this will be a bit tedious, restoring this many settings =P | 02:57 |
| Viper1432 | keepsake, sorry was afk there for r/l, but glad you figured it out! :) | 02:57 |
| keepsake | Viper1432: Thanks =D | 02:58 |
| meganerd | melwtech35: pulse runs on top of alsa, it makes it easier to connect various audio apps | 02:58 |
| Mmmbeer | what's the best wifi app to use with a netbook and linux? I use wpa2? thanks | 02:58 |

| phong_ | ok what about auto join channel | 03:03 |

| keepsake | yxz97: Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to karmic? | 03:03 |

| ShapeShifter499 | I tell it to update every 5 mins, but when the ip updates to a new one, and I don't know it, I check to find that noip2 hasn't updated yet | 03:51 |
| pfifo | Hello all, I could use some advice, I have purchased a external usb harddrive, right now it is formatted with fat32 one big partition, everything was working fine until I wanted to make a file larger than 2GB :( I want to format it so that I can use it to store large files but I also want (no need) to make it plug and play with windows | 03:52 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I type slow btw, so I was typing the why I think it dosen't work when the warning message about "dosen't work" | 03:52 |
| ShapeShifter499 | cane up | 03:53 |

| bovine | seeking some help with getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but figuring out the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble | 03:53 |
| blendmaster1024 | pfifo, i would put a ntfs partition on it if i needed to use it with windows, or and ext3 if i didn't | 03:53 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrib: ok | 03:53 |
| pfifo | blendmaster1024, but is NTFS going to pose a problem with linux? and can i move from computer to computer in windows with NTFS without permission problems? | 03:54 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrib: I googled it, it looks promising | 03:54 |
| jrib | ShapeShifter499: it's in the repositories | 03:54 |
| blendmaster1024 | it should work just fine with windows. as for linux, ubuntu will work fine, but most other linuxes won't | 03:55 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrib: not on my ubuntu comp atm so I had to google it | 03:55 |
| rahduke | so how can i create a bootable iso copy of my ubuntu installation? All packages drivers etc etc... | 03:56 |
| ShapeShifter499 | jrib: thanks for the help btw | 03:56 |
| pfifo | hmm, thanks for the help, its worth a shot failing this im going to repartition with a small fat32 file system at the beginning that contains ext2 drivers for windows, which is kinda ugly but next best thing. | 03:57 |
| rahduke | i do want to exclude a few folders | 03:57 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I | 03:58 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I'm going to go | 03:58 |
| ShapeShifter499 | bye | 03:58 |
| pfifo | Also btw, I remember linux had a great virus scanner that could be used to scan a windows partition from linux, what was that package again? | 03:59 |
| happy | pfifo: clamav? | 03:59 |

| isolat3dsh33p | guys, is there a command way to add a repository? | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: yes there is.. but i forget teh command. | 04:02 |
| happy | isolat3dsh33p: what type of repo? | 04:02 |
| happy | ppa? | 04:02 |
| N1XF0RC3 | hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 | 04:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I see it on the various ppa repo instructions all the time | 04:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | isolat3dsh33p, if you're adding a PPA to Karmic check out the "add-apt-repository" command - very handy | 04:02 |
| isolat3dsh33p | happy, not sure really. | 04:03 |
| happy | isolat3dsh33p: I would just make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and add it there | 04:03 |
| N1XF0RC3 | any idea? | 04:03 |
| CAPcap_ | Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me? | 04:03 |
| isolat3dsh33p | happy, done that. But using single line command is more awesome. :) ZykoticK9 not sure if it's a PPA. :/ | 04:04 |
| N1XF0RC3 | hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ? | 04:04 |
| happy | isolat3dsh33p: what is the repo you want to add? | 04:04 |
| AussieGuy | Can you plug a DVI-I cable into a DVI-D socket? (from my DVI-I graphics card to my DVI-D monitor) | 04:04 |
| isolat3dsh33p | happy, Ethereal's a debian repository :/ | 04:04 |
| zenlunatic | its wireshark now | 04:05 |
| happy | isolat3dsh33p: I think you need to add it by hand :-\ | 04:05 |

| Kentrel | I'm having major trouble with Ubuntu. My network is being hogged by some hidden program | 04:05 |
| zenlunatic | Kentrel: top | 04:05 |
| Kentrel | I booted into Ubuntu just now, and there was something uploading at 180kb/s. All of my processes except Xorg and System monitor were sleeping | 04:06 |
| Kentrel | Both cores of my AMD were running at about 50%! | 04:06 |
| N1XF0RC3 | ubuntu Hardy > i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ? | 04:06 |
| isolat3dsh33p | happy, sighs. Thanks anyway. :) | 04:06 |
| Kentrel | But I couldn't see what was doing it in the process viewer! | 04:06 |
| sgtmattbaker | This may not be the right place, but can someone direct me to where I could know whether to SSL the connection to an IRC server or SSL to a proxy and then connect through them. Someone was telling me the other day that IRC has security holes (why I cant use it on campus machines) | 04:06 |
| ae86-drifter | fuck amd sucks why dont they release drivers for my graphics card | 04:07 |
| ae86-drifter | is there a decent alternative for the proprietory ones | 04:07 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: just ssh into a remote host then use a consonle client from said host | 04:07 |
| ardchoille | !language | ae86-drifter | 04:07 |
| ubottu | ae86-drifter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:07 |
| CAPcap_ | Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me? | 04:08 |
| Kentrel | CAPcap_ try #blender | 04:08 |
| sgtmattbaker | zenlunatic: I dont have any secure hosts set up and I dont have any proxy services I pay for | 04:08 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: you can also use screen but that might be complicated | 04:08 |
| Kentrel | Sounds like an issue with the open gl libraries | 04:08 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: oh well thats my suggestion good luck | 04:09 |
| happy | sgtmattbaker: you can get a shell at ispeeds,net for $4/month | 04:09 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: whoever is telling you about irc sounds dumb no offense | 04:09 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: ie has far more holes they should ban it too | 04:10 |
| sgtmattbaker | zenlunatic: Well, it is banned on the student computers in the computer science lab at least, and the guy who works in the tech center says that the MUDs and IRC aren't allowed because of it | 04:10 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: at least unpatched win boxes to be fair | 04:10 |
| happy | sgtmattbaker: I agree with zenlunatic | 04:10 |
| Kentrel | Can anyone help me? Something is taking over my system and uploading at 200kb/s! i can't find what process it could be | 04:11 |
| sgtmattbaker | Yeah, IE probably has more security holes. What about firefox? | 04:11 |
| Kentrel | I ran Wireshark and I got a whole bunch of packets signed as 16 unsigned audio data | 04:11 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: kinda off topic at this point | 04:11 |
| happy | Kentrel: maybe netstat can give you that info. How do you know something is uploading? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sgtmattbaker: the statement 'irc has security holes' is about as valid as saying 'web browsers and servers have security holes' | 04:11 |
| Kentrel | Because I right click on the system monitor and it says Uploading at 200 kb/s | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | 'computers and operating systems have security holes' | 04:12 |
| Kentrel | And I can barely connect to any sites | 04:12 |
| Kentrel | I tried netstat, but netstat ran really slow, pausing for up to a minute between showing the next item | 04:12 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: maybe talk to his supervisor *shrug* | 04:12 |
| happy | sgtmattbaker: what everyone is saying is right. But as a high school kid. My suggestion is to not listen to them and pipe your data through a shell at ispeeds.net. It costs less than$4/month | 04:13 |
| sgtmattbaker | Yeah, I really want to set up a secure connection to a secure proxy and secure anything I do network wise | 04:13 |
| sgtmattbaker | I just want to at least encrypt my connection for the web surfing and other network stuff I do at work | 04:13 |
| zenlunatic | there are some free shell accounts on there but next to all of them disallow irc | 04:13 |
| fission6 | i just installed ubunu 9.10 using the minimal iso which i set to have the ubuntu desktop profile, i am getting a command line when i boot but i am curious how i get it to automatically boot into a window system (like it does when you do a typical install form live cd) do i need to configure/install something | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ive noticed many 'free' internet places at hospitals and so forth blocking more and more every month. | 04:13 |
| happy | sgtmattbaker:you can get a vpn, shell, ect | 04:14 |
| arghh2d2 | fission6: gdm | 04:14 |
| blakkheim | Dr_Willis: this is why you tunnel everything through ssh | 04:14 |
| zenlunatic | sgtmattbaker: setting up a home server is a great fun project to pursue | 04:14 |
| fission6 | arghh2d2: fission6: gdm -> sudo apt-get gnome-desktop-manager? | 04:14 |
| arghh2d2 | fission6: affirmitave | 04:15 |
| sgtmattbaker | I hate to keep this in #ubuntu, but I have a couple more questions if you are willin g | 04:15 |
| fission6 | will that make it load automatically on reboot or do i need to add that to something so i go straight to GUI and not ocmmand line? | 04:16 |
| Kentrel | okay, so next time I have this strange problem, what can I do to block the IP address? | 04:16 |
| arghh2d2 | sgtmattbaker: is that nick an homage to primus? | 04:16 |
| arghh2d2 | fission6: gdm is your keyword, plug that into google | 04:17 |
| sgtmattbaker | arghh2d2: No, but I udnerstand what you are talking about. It is actually the name of the main character in the Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway video game | 04:17 |
| arghh2d2 | fission6: i dont use gdm or even ubuntu | 04:17 |
| fission6 | i am, and i am comfortable installing it i just dont want to have to type startx i want it to boot straight to the gui | 04:18 |
| fission6 | oh ok | 04:18 |
| arghh2d2 | sgtmattbaker: right on, maybe the video game was inspired by the song | 04:18 |
| sgtmattbaker | arghh2d2: The name may have been but the game is supposed to be one of the more realistic series, so the characters are based on actual people that served in WW2 | 04:19 |
| ardchoille | !ot | sgtmattbaker arghh2d2 | 04:20 |

| bovine | having trouble getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble. | 04:28 |

| isolat3dsh33p | Anyone knows how to play with Wireshark? In the capture options, there's IP address is unknown, and I'm not sure what to put in the interface area. :( | 04:29 |
| === Nightw0lf is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| Dr_Willis | bovine: You mean to say you can manually mount it via the gui. but you want to do so via the command line? | 04:31 |
| Hilikus | is there a way to generate random passwords in ubuntu? | 04:31 |
| isolat3dsh33p | do I need to be root to run Wireshark? :/ | 04:33 |
| blakkheim | isolat3dsh33p: if you have to ask that maybe you shouldn't be using something like wireshark | 04:33 |
| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: very likely | 04:34 |
| isolat3dsh33p | blakkheim, it's an assignment =_= | Dr_Willis, like « gksudo wireshark » ? | 04:35 |
| isolat3dsh33p | I got this warning-> "Running as root could be dangerous", but I continued. I'm not sure which interface should be used. I'm using wireless. My lab manual is for Windows =_= | 04:37 |
| blakkheim | isolat3dsh33p: man wireshark | 04:38 |
| isolat3dsh33p | blakkheim, ok, thanks ;) | 04:38 |
| suprsonic | what packages are required to mount NFS exports from a NFS server? | 04:39 |
| DILS-VBOX | isolat3dsh33p, as root you will be able to capture on the psuedo interface all traffic as reg user you wont | 04:39 |
| blakkheim | suprsonic: nfs-common | 04:39 |
| suprsonic | blakkheim: anything else I need to do after that? | 04:40 |
| blakkheim | suprsonic: all you asked was the package name | 04:40 |
| suprsonic | http://pastebin.com/d3d5b261d | 04:41 |
| === Damn3d is now known as damn3d | ||
| suprsonic | that's what Im getting when trying to mount a FreeBSD export | 04:41 |
| ymanton | which package installs 'system->preferences->power management'? i tried devicekit-power, but thats not it | 04:41 |
| isolat3dsh33p | DILS-VBOX, I've run it as root, and I think I catch some packets. And i feel l337 LOL. I'm not sure why I got the warning it could be dangerous to run as root though. :( | 04:42 |
| blakkheim | isolat3dsh33p: vulnerabilities in wireshark | 04:42 |
| Dr_Willis | isolat3dsh33p: because its dangerous to run anything as root to some degree | 04:42 |
| ymanton | can someone at least check what that menu item calls? i can search for that | 04:43 |
| isolat3dsh33p | blakkheim, Dr_Willis, ouch. But I need to finish this assignment. :( Thanks. ^.~ | 04:44 |

| NotTooSmart | I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs..... | 04:48 |

| scunizi | NotTooSmart: even with rm -rf <path to directory> | 04:48 |
| scunizi | NotTooSmart: or the same with sudo in front? | 04:48 |
| NotTooSmart | scunizi, with right click on windows... | 04:48 |
| NotTooSmart | scunizi, the ubuntu machine is my server | 04:49 |
| scunizi | NotTooSmart: ah.. windows client and linux host.. most likely it's something in the samba config.. unfortunately I don't know samba that well | 04:49 |
| razertek | #samba is quiet right now can someone help me? | 04:50 |
| NotTooSmart | scunizi, heh, I'm pretty sure the samba config is correct since it worked before | 04:50 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, whats your issue? | 04:50 |
| razertek | k | 04:51 |
| razertek | i cannot see my self in nautilus the network part | 04:51 |
| razertek | but i can my dads machine and borthers | 04:51 |
| scunizi | NotTooSmart: works with the exception of deleting directories.. so if that worked before but doesn't now then something changed.. you might look for an autobackup of the samba.conf or smb.conf file, check the date and compare it to what is currently being used. maybe an update changed something. | 04:51 |
| NotTooSmart | scunizi, my smb.conf is only like 10 lines | 04:52 |
| razertek | http://pastebin.com/m5da0851b | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | set up some shares and check yoru workgroup razertek ? | 04:52 |
| razertek | yea its all there...look at my pastebin | 04:53 |
| razertek | testparm reports back fine | 04:54 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, try editing mine... backup yours first though | 04:54 |

| razertek | i was wanting my security set to user | 04:54 |
| razertek | is this ok? | 04:54 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, if it works for you yea | 04:54 |
| razertek | whats the file stanza for exactly | 04:55 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: * | 04:55 |
| NotTooSmart | thats the name | 04:55 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: was wondering how it could help making my pc appearant on the network | 04:56 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, because that config works to my knowledge, so if you edited it to your needs it might work for you... | 04:57 |
| razertek | k | 04:57 |
| razertek | i'll try adding it | 04:57 |
| zetheroo | can someone help me figure out how to implement the fix mentioned towards the bottom of this page? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/istanbul/+bug/63996?comments=all | 04:58 |
| razertek | now i will have to reboot to see if it works becuae it might just by resetting the server but that is totaly different from having it work everytime the pc boots | 04:58 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: What post#? | 04:59 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 04:59 |
| zetheroo | um | 04:59 |
| N1XF0RC3 | when i install subversion: Depends: libsvn1 error any idea ? | 04:59 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, no need to restart | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | itz best to use 'sudo service whatever restart' also | 05:00 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: #54 I think ...? | 05:00 |
| razertek | yea that generally makes things work...but not on reboot | 05:00 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, um, yea its going to work on reboot too.. | 05:00 |
| NotTooSmart | I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs..... | 05:00 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: You'll have to download the source and the diff file, and patch the original file with the diff; then compile. | 05:01 |
| Dr_Willis | thers some options in the smb.conf file for default directory/files permiossions | 05:01 |
| keepsake | N1XF0RC3: Have you tried updating the libsvn1? | 05:01 |
| NotTooSmart | Dr_Willis, i have them all set to 0777 | 05:01 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: k i was just wondering how sometimes when i edit the smb.conf and do a samba restart it gets thhings working but when i reboot the next time they are not | 05:02 |
| keepsake | N1XF0RC3: If you go into synaptic and type in "libsvn1", do you see a newer version you can update to? | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | NotTooSmart: the samba permiisons are applied when someone puts/makes a file/dir in the share. the current permissiins of the directory do not apply | 05:02 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, weird, its the same config file, so as long as samba loads on boot it should be consistent | 05:02 |
| razertek | yea thats what i thought | 05:02 |
| razertek | i am still learning =) | 05:02 |
| NotTooSmart | Dr_Willis, well, the dirs are being made by a program run in 'sudo' on the ubuntu machine, is that the problem, and if so how do I fix? | 05:03 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: ok ... so should I remove the version i have currently installed? | 05:03 |
| NotTooSmart | Dr_Willis, not running in sudo is not an option either. | 05:03 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: Yes; you'll have to recompile a new version from source. | 05:03 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: what does /crypt represent as a whole | 05:03 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: oh I see ... | 05:03 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, on my system or to you? its the shared directory | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | NotTooSmart: the samba service has options as to what permissions are set - on files/dirs on creation. from the smb.conf file --> | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | # File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | # create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. | 05:04 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: yes...but is it like a config folder for having things work in the smb.conf as a whole or just some share you have and i dont? | 05:05 |
| Dr_Willis | thats setable on a per share basis i do belive. | 05:05 |
| NotTooSmart | Dr_Willis, the problem is, im not creating the dir's on windows, and I have directory mask = 0777 already | 05:05 |

| keepsake | zetheroo: Follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff?highlight=%28debdiff%29 | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | rahduke: with some fancy scripting. | 05:10 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: i can see myself now but i cannot mount myself | 05:10 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: ok | 05:10 |
| rahduke | Dr_Willis: care to point me in the right direction? | 05:10 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, mount your self? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !abs | rahduke | 05:10 |
| ubottu | rahduke: Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, obtainable with ${package-manager} install abs-guide, is a quick and comprehensive guide to bash (command line) scripting in *nix systems. It is also viewable via web at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 05:10 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: when i double click on my name in network | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | rahduke: and creative use of the find command. | 05:11 |
| razertek | through nautilus | 05:11 |
| Out_Cold | rahduke, not sure if this would work, but an ls /dir/* | grep .rar > unrar or something?? | 05:11 |
| rahduke | Dr_Willis: prolly faster to do it 1 by one then learn how to write bash scripts | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | rahduke: yep. depends on your needs.. you go 10 to do.. or 10,0000 | 05:11 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, why do you need to view your own files over the network on your local machine? | 05:11 |
| rahduke | bout 120 or so | 05:11 |
| Out_Cold | rahduke, bash scripting is as easy as typing in the bash | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to avoide silly rar archives | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !info unp | rahduke | 05:12 |
| rahduke | Out_Cold: I really don't know the 1st thing about bash | 05:12 |
| ubottu | rahduke: unp (source: unp): unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.15 (karmic), package size 10 kB, installed size 76 kB | 05:12 |
| razertek | well it makes for good propagation of a network setup to be able to do so ande also tells me if others will be able to access my machine by testing it on mine | 05:12 |
| Out_Cold | rahduke, then maybe 1x1. i can script but for the things i know how to do.. i've never tried to script for un-raring before | 05:12 |
| razertek | since win users like to double click =) | 05:13 |
| NotTooSmart | razertek, i am not sure, my ubuntu server does not use a GUI, so I usually just test from windows | 05:13 |
| rahduke | Out_Cold: can you tell me how to sort my folders by how many files are contained within? | 05:13 |
| Out_Cold | anyone have any ideas on http://pastebin.com/m189fa215 i can't mount my nfs | 05:13 |
| uplinx | if i used the split command on a file, how do i unsplit it? | 05:14 |
| razertek | NotTooSmart: thankyou for helping me though | 05:14 |
| Out_Cold | rahduke, that would be an ls option if there is one | 05:14 |
| Out_Cold | uplinx, cat file1 file2 file3 | 05:14 |
| uplinx | ah thanks Out_Cold | 05:14 |
| Out_Cold | ** cat f1 f2 f3 > newfile | 05:14 |
| rahduke | Out_Cold: Ill check it out | 05:14 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: did you mount from /dev? | 05:16 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, it's not a /dev | 05:17 |
| Out_Cold | i can try though i guess.. | 05:17 |
| Out_Cold | no that won't work because the exportfs is what i should mount | 05:18 |
| zetheroo | anyone know what the command is to apply a patch to source code? | 05:18 |
| blakkheim | zetheroo: man patch | 05:18 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: Follow the instructions, it says to "cd PACKAGE-* && patch -pl < ../DEBDIFF" | 05:19 |
| Hilikus | what are the recommended folders to backup in a desktop appart from /home and /etc? | 05:19 |
| Hilikus | /usr? | 05:19 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: so you are using udp? | 05:19 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: You need to change the PACKAGE with the name of the package and DEBDIFF with the .debdiff file | 05:20 |
| morphix | Out_Cold: how about you remove your INPUT iptables rules altogether? | 05:20 |
| Out_Cold | morphix, i will try that | 05:20 |
| razertek | out_cold | 05:20 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: what is the debdiff? It says to download the debdiff ... | 05:20 |
| morphix | they seem pointless as you have allowed all and then.. allowed a few port indiviaul aswell | 05:20 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, tcp i'm pretty sure | 05:21 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: change: 2049/tcp open nfs to 2049/udp open nfs | 05:21 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: This file: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36229421/istanbul_0.2.2-5ubuntu1.debdiff | 05:21 |
| razertek | nfs is atop udp not tcp | 05:21 |
| razertek | learning as i read from my book | 05:21 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: ok thanks | 05:21 |
| Out_Cold | yea it must be that rule.. perhaps it is udp then | 05:22 |
| Out_Cold | it mounts now without the rules so i guess i should figure out the rules a bit more | 05:22 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: so I paste that text into gedit and save it as .debdiff | 05:23 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: Yup | 05:23 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: maybe you dont have to erase the rules just try changing it to udp | 05:23 |
| Out_Cold | it's a pain trying to figure out which apps access which files like /etc/hosts.allow and firestarter and iptables | 05:24 |
| Dishtroyer | NotttooSmart: I was ablt to log in but there is no graphics. | 05:24 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, i already erased them... best i do again and get the experience | 05:24 |
| Dishtroyer | The graphical log in doesn't work. | 05:25 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: true...but use whereis to find apps and their related files | 05:26 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: I don't know what the context is, but have you tried startx? | 05:26 |
| Out_Cold | how do i use redirect to iptables-restore? like iptables-restore < /iptables.bk | 05:27 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: what is startx? | 05:27 |
| razertek | > | 05:27 |
| Out_Cold | to restore though? won't that overwrite it? | 05:27 |
| razertek | well there is more use a redirect with append options and not overwrite | 05:28 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: It starts X, the graphic thing. | 05:28 |
| razertek | like >> | 05:28 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: I don't really know what your problem is though, sorry >__< | 05:29 |
| Dishtroyer | Here is the context. Ubuntu will not allow me to log in using the graphical interface. Nottoosmart told me to try a cntrl+alt+F2 | 05:29 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: Are you in TTY? | 05:29 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake it will allow me to log in in tty mode | 05:30 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, i wanted to pipe the contents of /iptable.bk to iptables-restore. I tried your way and overwrote it.. had to use the < | 05:30 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: In TTY type startx | 05:30 |
| Dishtroyer | I am currently using windows at the moment | 05:30 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: OK.. I have to reboot. Thank you. | 05:31 |
| razertek | example: ls >> test.txt | 05:31 |
| razertek | should work | 05:31 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: or did you try << | 05:32 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, single < did the trick | 05:33 |
| Hilikus | why isn't root internal mails forwarded to the main admin user by default?? | 05:33 |
| blah569 | I restarted my Ubuntu server, which completely messed up MySQL. I've tried to completely uninstall it, and install a new copy. It always fails on the sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start. How can I completely remove the package? | 05:33 |
| blah569 | I must be doing something wrong. | 05:33 |
| scunizi | Hilikus: i ran into those once.. but I've forgotten were to look for them.. where did you find them? | 05:33 |
| Hilikus | blah569: start in safe mode and remove it | 05:34 |
| Hilikus | scunizi: /etc/aliases | 05:34 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: but gets overwritten? | 05:34 |
| blah569 | Hilikus: How can I remove it though? What packages do I need to remove? | 05:34 |
| Hilikus | blah569: why do you want to remove it? | 05:34 |
| Out_Cold | no.. the > overwrote not < | 05:34 |
| Hilikus | why not try to fix the problems | 05:35 |
| obiwan_ | please, could anybody talk to me about gpg validation? i read that if some trusted friend validates a key, and you add that key, then that key is automatically validated because your trusted friend has it already validated it. But what's up with validation? what's the diff between a validated key and a not valid one? | 05:35 |
| blah569 | Hilikus: It's broken. I restarted my server, and then whenever I try to use: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start [FAIL] is returned. I didn't change anything. It doesn't work anymore. | 05:35 |
| razertek | o | 05:35 |
| blah569 | It's very annoying that it just completely stopped working without changing anything. | 05:35 |
| razertek | so the < appends as well? | 05:35 |
| Flannel | obiwan_: #gnupg can probably answer that a lot better than we can | 05:35 |
| Hilikus | blah569: thats no reason to remove mysql, just fix it. what errors do you get? | 05:35 |
| scunizi | blah569: try sudo service mysql start .. might also be mysql5 | 05:35 |
| razertek | Out_Cold: so the < will append aswell? | 05:36 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, the < pipes backwards... no appending | 05:37 |
| obiwan_ | thanks Flannel it's funny, two days asking for that channel, and i found it a couple hours before (nobody has yet answered my question there btw ) and now not only i find the channel, but you know it too :P . thanks anyway Flannel i'm about to be officially ubunter and just wanted to know thaat before signing with my key :) | 05:37 |
| blah569 | scunizi: * Starting MySQL database server mysqld [fail] - is what I get when using sudo service mysql start | 05:37 |
| Out_Cold | razertek, instead of > to file it's < from file | 05:37 |
| scunizi | blah569: when you installed did it ask for a password? | 05:37 |
| Hilikus | blah569: check the logs | 05:38 |
| blah569 | scunizi: it asked for a password | 05:38 |
| scunizi | blah569: not for the install itself but for the database access | 05:38 |
| Hilikus | syslog or whatever is in /var/log/mysql | 05:38 |
| Hilikus | blah569: why do you have mysql to begin with? | 05:38 |
| obiwan_ | to append use double arrows instead | 05:38 |
| razertek | thats what i thought at first now i am back to knowing that =) | 05:38 |
| blah569 | Hilikus: It's the database engine that I use for my sever | 05:39 |
| obiwan_ | sry actuall just right arrows append, left ones mean heredoc | 05:39 |
| Flannel | obiwan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto When you sign someone's key (different than signing a file), you're saying that they are who they claim to be, and their key is their own. And then separately, you can set how 'paranoid' you are with your trust (if you trust someone your friend trusts, etc). #gnupg can give you all sorts of nice details that I can't | 05:39 |
| obiwan_ | there's a good guide about forwarding , they told me the link in #bash channel, maybe you can ask there for it | 05:40 |
| Hilikus | blah569: check the logs and take it from there | 05:41 |
| blah569 | the log is empty | 05:41 |
| Hilikus | which one? | 05:41 |
| spridel | okay, somehow using the kill select did not completely kill firefox | 05:41 |
| spridel | nvm | 05:41 |
| blah569 | the /var/log/mysql is empty Hilikus | 05:41 |
| Hilikus | check /var/log/mysql (dir) and /var/log/mysql.log and /var/log/mysql.err | 05:42 |
| obiwan_ | ok Flannel i get it :) | 05:43 |
| snadge | my printer is setup.. and its working, but if i go to print a particular pdf file using "document viewer" .. i can see the job go into the queue, the activity light on the printer starts flashing.. then it just disappears from the queue and nothing is printed out :( | 05:43 |
| obiwan_ | Flannel: and thanks again :) | 05:43 |
| Out_Cold | can't seem to get it right with the udp rules | 05:44 |
| snadge | what alternatives apart from document viewer.. can i use to print pdf files reliably? | 05:44 |
| blah569 | sudo nano /var/log/mysql.log returns empty | 05:44 |
| snadge | or should i just do it from windows in a virtual machine | 05:44 |
| obiwan_ | snadge: did you check it's paper right? | 05:44 |
| scunizi | snadge: how many printers does your system have listed as installed? | 05:44 |
| snadge | yes.. paper is loaded.. i can print.. my guess is document viewer.. or the rendering process is crashing | 05:44 |
| snadge | just the one.. a hp laserjet 5M connected via lpt1 | 05:44 |
| blah569 | mysql.log exists too | 05:44 |
| === ruffus910 is now known as narcorn | ||
| Dr_Willis | thats almost as old as my laserjet 6L :) | 05:45 |
| Hilikus | blah569: what abour .err | 05:45 |
| scunizi | snadge: sometimes it works better if you print the pdf to another pdf then print that one to the printer. | 05:45 |
| === narcorn is now known as ruffus910 | ||
| scunizi | snadge: some pdf's are quirky | 05:45 |
| snadge | interesting idea.. so how do i print to pdf? | 05:45 |
| Out_Cold | my new iptables: http://pastebin.com/m43759551 still can't nfs mount | 05:46 |
| blah569 | ahh, mysql.err is empty too Hilikus | 05:46 |
| snadge | i wonder if i can install adobe's acroreader on linux | 05:46 |
| MenZa | snadge: Sure. Check out Medibuntu. | 05:46 |
| scunizi | snadge: you have to add/install another printer.. the easy way might be sudo apt-get install cupspdf .. perhaps cups-pdf | 05:46 |
| MenZa | !medibuntu > snadge | 05:46 |
| ubottu | snadge, please see my private message | 05:46 |
| Out_Cold | snadge, do a search in synaptic.. there are tons of pdf readers.. one should do what you want it to | 05:47 |
| scunizi | snadge: adobe is slow and a resource hog | 05:47 |
| bullgard | Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? | 05:47 |
| Hilikus | blah569: ok so you need to turn on debugging and see what it says | 05:47 |
| snadge | ok lots of ideas to try now :) | 05:47 |
| keepsake | snadge: Also, for Windows program compatibility check appdb. | 05:47 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, run alsamixer from the terminal and use the M key to mute/unmute | 05:47 |
| scunizi | snadge: a new viewer might not fix your printing problem though | 05:47 |
| keepsake | !appdb > snadge | 05:47 |
| ubottu | snadge, please see my private message | 05:47 |
| Hilikus | blah569: are you sure you are opening existing files and not just creating empty files that don't exist? | 05:47 |
| Out_Cold | snadge, linux is the foundation of new and exciting ideas ;) | 05:48 |
| Out_Cold | 1 problem 236729 solutions :p | 05:48 |
| Hilikus | does ubuntu come with a frontend for crontab or i still need to use the text editor? | 05:51 |
| bullgard | Out_Cold: alsamixer shows only the controls »Master M«, »Mic Boos« and »External« as muted. Which control do you mean specifically? | 05:51 |
| scunizi | Hilikus: text editor | 05:51 |
| Hilikus | scunizi: thanks | 05:51 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, which one were you having troubles with?? in my experience with linux... play with it till you either break it or fix it ;) | 05:52 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: While that's a good idea, am I the only one that ends up breaking it 90% of the time =P | 05:53 |
| Out_Cold | keepsake, mine's always broken.. | 05:53 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: I think today was the first time I did something that didn't break it. | 05:53 |
| Out_Cold | hence why i spend so much time in here. i just end up helping noobs while i wait for the real gurus | 05:53 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: Haha, that's true. I do that too =P | 05:53 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: I got in.. but I had to use recovery mode | 05:54 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: Interesting. You're in X now? | 05:54 |
| bullgard | Out_Cold: I told you what is bothering me: a muted loudspeker symbol. This inhibits GNOME event sounds. "Play with it" without saying what is 'it' is no precise recipe. | 05:55 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: I assume so. I have all my programs back | 05:55 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, if there was a precise recipe for everything.... it's the master MM highlight that and then check again | 05:56 |
| Out_Cold | **use M to unmute | 05:56 |
| Dishtroyer | leepsake: but I have to figure out how to get the graphical login to work. I'd hate to have to go through this every time | 05:56 |
| bullgard | Out_Cold: Thank you for commenting. | 05:56 |
| zetheroo | keepsake: hey thanks ... I completed that and now the application is working 100% | 05:56 |
| keepsake | zetheroo: That's great =). Patching is a pretty useful skill, I'm glad you managed to learn it yourself =D | 05:57 |
| snadge | ok it appears acrobat reader can print out this pdf.. but not document viewer.. oh well :) | 05:57 |
| Tanthrix | Anyone know anyting about speeding up CIFS mounted windows shares? | 05:58 |
| Tanthrix | I've got a weird situation going on with two different systems, one taking 1/4 second to traverse a mount, and the other 6-7 seconds. | 05:58 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, most of us helping are not too much better than you at the moment... but playing around with anything is a decent idea.. just know or ask in regards to what you are doing... usually someone in here just went through what you did | 05:58 |
| Tanthrix | (The latter being a Ubuntu 9.10 system) | 05:58 |
| zetheroo | is it just me or does Ubuntu One work kinda slowly ... especially though a browser ... !? | 05:58 |
| Out_Cold | i haven't actually used it.. i normally use my nfs server which is ummm broken :p | 05:59 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: Oh crud. Now ubuntu won't let me mount drives. It says I'm not authorized | 05:59 |
| Out_Cold | speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551 | 06:00 |

| Out_Cold | solution!! | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Out_Cold: hehe ... reading that :) | 06:10 |
| poyntz | tried amarok, mplayer and audacious | 06:10 |
| poyntz | nothing will play it | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Out_Cold: seems like you can only share with one person at a time ... | 06:10 |
| Out_Cold | poyntz, try vlc or install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:10 |
| Dishtroyer | keepsake: this is freaky. It wouldn't let me in on the first try but it did on the second.. | 06:10 |
| poyntz | i'll try the latter, thanks Out_Cold | 06:10 |
| zetheroo | Out_Cold: I was hoping I could share it and get a link to give to others ... | 06:11 |
| Dishtroyer | Well at least now I can mount my drives.. | 06:12 |
| Out_Cold | zetheroo, maybe the syncing is an issues? i'd root around some more to be sure | 06:12 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: well apparently ubuntu-restricted-extras is already at the latest version :/ | 06:12 |
| Out_Cold | poyntz, try vlc? | 06:12 |
| Out_Cold | vlc plays almost anything | 06:12 |

| Out_Cold | poyntz, look to see that you have gstreamer good/bad/ugly plugins installed | 06:14 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, just try unmuting all channels that are MM and see if that fixes it | 06:14 |
| andrew_46 | poyntz: I missed the beginning of your question, what are you trying to play? | 06:15 |

| poyntz | andrew_46: because most mp3 files play | 06:15 |

| andrew_46 | poyntz: Are these files available nline somewhere? | 06:16 |

| zetheroo | Out_Cold: correct ... oh well ... :) | 06:16 |
| bullgard | Out_Cold: I have done so. It does not fix it. | 06:16 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, what about the sys tray icon?? looks like a speaker? | 06:17 |
| poyntz | andrew_46: downloaded a torrent | 06:17 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: would they be the gstream0.10-plugins-ugly that i need? | 06:18 |
| Out_Cold | poyntz, yes and bad/good | 06:18 |
| poyntz | so the multiverse stuff | 06:18 |
| Out_Cold | yup.. it's restricted format | 06:18 |
| poyntz | k ty trying it now | 06:18 |
| poyntz | wait | 06:19 |
| poyntz | if its *-dbg | 06:19 |
| poyntz | it means it's debug symbols tho ya? | 06:19 |
| Out_Cold | you don't want the dbg | 06:19 |
| Out_Cold | just regular | 06:19 |
| poyntz | ya, i think i've got all the good bad and ugly then | 06:20 |
| poyntz | only the dbg and the docs aren't installed | 06:20 |
| Out_Cold | then maybe the file is corrupted | 06:20 |
| Dishtroyer | A big thank you to keepsake! | 06:20 |
| Out_Cold | test another file or the same file on another machine | 06:20 |
| keepsake | Dishtroyer: No problem =) I'm not even really sure what I did =P | 06:20 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: i'll give it a crack | 06:21 |
| Out_Cold | keepsake, we rock like that lol | 06:21 |
| Out_Cold | how we roll | 06:21 |
| keepsake | Out_Cold: It's how Linux rolls, in general, haha | 06:21 |
| Out_Cold | yea... uphill in big turds | 06:21 |
| === r4ban is now known as giskard | ||
| bullgard | Out_Cold: I have checked the systray icon looking as a speaker. Its setting is normal: It indicates: "Output 53%" which is normal. | 06:22 |
| Out_Cold | bullgard, not too sure man... and you said what was muted? | 06:25 |
| Out_Cold | i thought you said the tray icon was muted.. but what exactly is? | 06:26 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: nah no luck | 06:28 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: with any of them | 06:28 |
| GSF1200S | im looking to get a new video card. ATI has the best cards, but hows the driver support now? I know it used to suck.. | 06:29 |
| poyntz | Out_Cold: tried on a mac | 06:30 |
| Tanthrix | GSF1200S: Nvidia rules all in linux. Much better driver, and incredible video acceleration. | 06:30 |
| Out_Cold | well that just tells me that my usefulness has expired for the day :( | 06:31 |
| GSF1200S | Tanthrix: Yeah, thats why I have a 9800GTX right now :) On the windows side, ATI seems to be the best. Oh well, **** them | 06:32 |
| meganerd | Tanthrix: sorry, nVidia is now the worst under Linux | 06:32 |
| GSF1200S | actually, I have 2 9800's, but I use seperate x screens, so I dont get sli benefit.. | 06:32 |
| blakkheim | don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom | 06:32 |
| meganerd | at least the ati driver is open | 06:33 |
| meganerd | that is more than nVidia can say | 06:33 |
| GSF1200S | meganard: how is nvidia the worst? | 06:33 |
| GSF1200S | I dont think I agree, at least from the droves of opposing advice | 06:33 |
| RocketLauncher | I can't play DVDs. I got ubuntu-restricted-extras, I also have libdvdcss2...... i also did: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 06:34 |
| RocketLauncher | Still cant play DVDs | 06:34 |
| meganerd | I have been suffering under all of them for 10 years, the new ATI devices are covered by the radeonhd driver | 06:34 |
| Out_Cold | nvidia has better options for linux where as ati doesn't... you can work on nvidia if you know how... can't say that for ati | 06:34 |
| meganerd | new ati has worked well for me | 06:34 |
| meganerd | personally I hate them both, but at least with their recent chips, they hired someone to write properly open drivers | 06:35 |
| andrew_46 | Can somebody dcc a small text file so I can test my irssi setup? | 06:35 |
| RocketLauncher | andrew_46, alright | 06:36 |
| andrew_46 | RocketLauncher: Thanks... whenever you are ready | 06:36 |
| RocketLauncher | andrew_46, i guess it's not working because i dont see anything on my side | 06:36 |
| RocketLauncher | DVD's playing, goodbye | 06:36 |
| xxploit | any1 familar with packing for ppa's? im having a rejecting problem caused by the section im using in the control file. Ive tried using network and networking but both sections cause a rejection | 06:36 |
| Out_Cold | i think that nvidia has better GPU processing for things like CUDa | 06:37 |
| Out_Cold | *A | 06:37 |
| Hilikus | how can i share a directory using samba through ssh?? | 06:37 |
| andrew_46 | Hmmm..... I was not clear as usual, can somebody send me a file by dcc? | 06:37 |
| meganerd | why bother with samba if you are using ssh? | 06:37 |
| Hilikus | meganerd: how else can i see files as a windows drive?? | 06:38 |
| GSF1200S | Anyone know where I can add module names that I want to load at boot? I have to modprobe coretemp after every boot | 06:38 |
| meganerd | winscp | 06:38 |
| Out_Cold | andrew_46, i sent one | 06:38 |
| GSF1200S | on arch, id just add it it to rc.conf | 06:38 |
| Hilikus | meganerd: isn't that for copy on;y? | 06:38 |
| meganerd | you could also use webdav + netdrive | 06:38 |
| Hilikus | i need something that will look like a network drive in windows | 06:38 |
| andrew_46 | Out_Cold: oic | 06:39 |
| meganerd | well, windows only supports smb or cifs for that out of the box | 06:39 |
| Hilikus | ok, thats why i bother with smb+ssh | 06:39 |
| meganerd | you can use netdrive to add webdav and ftp support, but really, assigning a drive letter is asking for trouble | 06:39 |
| Hilikus | meganerd: why? | 06:40 |
| Out_Cold | andrew_46, can you accept it? | 06:40 |
| meganerd | windows does not support ssh out of the box, so you are going to have to add someting either way | 06:40 |
| meganerd | why bother with ssh? | 06:40 |
| meganerd | I am guessing that there is some sort of remote access? | 06:40 |
| Hilikus | yes | 06:40 |
| Miracle | just use putty on win | 06:40 |
| andrew_46 | Out_Cold: No, looks like my setup is still borken | 06:40 |
| Out_Cold | andrew_46, i've never sent a dcc on xchat so not sure if it's my end maybe | 06:41 |
| Hilikus | Miracle: how can i map a drive to a folder through putty and have the traffic be encrypted? | 06:41 |
| meganerd | for me personally I just ssh (sshfs under linux, winscp under that other OS) | 06:41 |
| meganerd | for my clients a VPN is usally how I solve that issue | 06:41 |
| Out_Cold | Hilikus, sounds like you want vpn but don't ask for my help | 06:41 |
| andrew_46 | Out_Cold: No I have had trouble with irssi and dcc, but success with x-chat, so the problem is at my end | 06:42 |
| meganerd | OpenVPN has a GUI for windows that mere mortals can use | 06:42 |
| Hilikus | this is for backup restore, they need to be able to see whats in the backup and just drag-drop from it | 06:42 |
| Hilikus | so it needs to be integrated to windows | 06:42 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, having a good vpn is a bit difficult imo | 06:42 |
| Hilikus | no shells or anything | 06:42 |
| geofft | anyone done a netboot install recently? | 06:42 |
| meganerd | what version of windows? | 06:42 |
| Hilikus | xp | 06:42 |
| meganerd | cygwin will get you the tools to do backup, but you may wish to rethink the drag and drop part | 06:43 |
| Hilikus | i already have all the backup set up | 06:43 |
| Hilikus | its the restore i am designing now | 06:43 |
| meganerd | and the backup is offsite? | 06:43 |
| Miracle | hilikus - i don't know but on linux you can tunnel with vlc and putty for remote access I'm not sure if you can mount a dir over a connection like that | 06:44 |
| Hilikus | yes, its all over the internet, thats why i need ssh | 06:44 |
| meganerd | your easiest solution would be share the backups woth apache (you would ssl and webdav modules), and then install netdrive on the windows computer | 06:44 |
| Hilikus | meganerd: isnt webdav for writing? the backups are read-only | 06:45 |
| Hilikus | i'm gonna look into netdrive. never heard of it | 06:45 |
| pvandewyngaerde | hi, i have a problem that my keyboard randomly switches to qwerty, how can i troubleshoot this ? | 06:45 |
| meganerd | actually yes, webdav s writing, so you would not need that part | 06:46 |
| Out_Cold | speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551 | 06:46 |
| Out_Cold | oh.. minus the "speaking of which" | 06:46 |
| Out_Cold | line history is a blessing | 06:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ugh | 06:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I can't find a good setup for this box. | 06:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I need a good desktop/theme/icon set/conky to function on a computer. | 06:48 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | And this is my girlfriend's computer. | 06:48 |
| Out_Cold | go pink | 06:48 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | And i haet it | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Does the theme really matter much.... | 06:48 |
| Dr_Willis | pick a differnt one and get on with it | 06:49 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | :| | 06:49 |
| Out_Cold | Dr_Willis, i find that eye candy is about 50% of the users and 50% simple | 06:50 |
| Out_Cold | *for simplicity | 06:50 |
| ohir | ShazbotMcNasty: can't you just show her how she can do it yourself? | 06:50 |
| Out_Cold | ^^ agreed make her learn linux lmao | 06:50 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ohir, I don't like the wallpapers she picks. | 06:50 |
| meganerd | that is funny | 06:50 |
| Out_Cold | it's her computer | 06:50 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | She know how to do all of the desktop crud | 06:50 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I know | 06:50 |
| ohir | ShazbotMcNasty: girls are not less equipped than we, just a little bit linux-shy | 06:51 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | but she also wanted a new wallpaper and theme | 06:51 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | but she doesn't want to do it. | 06:51 |
| meganerd | there is a link to get new themes from the appearence control | 06:51 |
| ohir | ShazbotMcNasty: so show her how she can search for herself | 06:51 |
| Out_Cold | i've met a few good linux chicks | 06:51 |
| maco | o/ | 06:51 |
| maco | someone asked for a linuxchick? | 06:51 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I'm just going to go to gnome-look and search through themes and hopefully it'll come with a good wall that I can use. | 06:51 |
| ohir | ShazbotMcNasty: and this is her box, not yours. So you need to live vith that ponies on :> | 06:52 |
| czr_ | hi all, looking for some kind of web-thingy that would show me which packages can be upgraded. needs to be run locally (as opposed to landscape) and supporting multiple systems would be a bonus. any ideas? | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Hello Kity Themes Rule! | 06:52 |
| petsounds | :p | 06:52 |
| Out_Cold | hannah montanna themes? | 06:52 |
| czr_ | yes, the web thingy could have hello kitty theme too, I could live with that. any idea? | 06:52 |
| maco | ShazbotMcNasty: why dont you let her use the wallpaper she wants to use and well...if its her box, youve no say anyway? maybe you can ask the admin to allow you to have your own account on her system? | 06:52 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | ohir, "she wanted a new background and theme, but she doesn't want to look" | 06:52 |
| maco | ShazbotMcNasty: if it just pains you *so much* to have to see wallpapers that arent to your taste? | 06:53 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | read what i write damnit >_< | 06:53 |
| ohir | ShazbotMcNasty: ah, ok. | 06:53 |
| maco | ShazbotMcNasty: dont swear | 06:53 |
| * ohir *chuckles* | 06:53 | |
| MHz128 | what is the command used to chage permissions so everyone can read the file? | 06:53 |
| MHz128 | and write | 06:54 |
| ohir | plain test 'do you know me enough' :) | 06:54 |
| maco | MHz128: chmod 777 filename | 06:54 |
| MHz128 | great! thanks maco | 06:54 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | asd.flknav vgkijjh | 06:55 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | poop | 06:55 |
| andrew_46 | MHz128: 777 is read write and execute | 06:56 |
| Out_Cold | ShazbotMcNasty, just pick a random one.... or google some small fuzzy animal that she likes. then grab a matching icon/panel theme | 06:56 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Out_Cold, I'm okay. | 06:57 |
| Hilikus | meganerd: is there an opensource replacement for netdrive? | 06:57 |
| MHz128 | andrew_46, cool, its octal right? thats why its so confusing hehe | 06:58 |
| Miracle | any iphone users here? | 06:58 |
| meganerd | Hilikus: not that I am aware of... | 06:59 |
| meganerd | Hilikus: another option might be to set up backuppc. There is a web front end for the regular users that will on the fly create zip files for them to download | 07:00 |
| meganerd | MHz128: actually chmod 666 is all that you need, 777 makes it executable as well | 07:01 |
| meganerd | MHz128: you could also do chmod a+rw filename | 07:01 |
| andrew_46 | MHz128: A nice explanation is here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html Have a looks at the section marked 'How to set file permissions - numeric mode' | 07:01 |
| Alphos | hi :) is there any stable gui for aptitude in a "synaptic-like" manner ? | 07:01 |
| MHz128 | fabulous! | 07:02 |
| bullgard | Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? | 07:03 |
| rahduke | my backup HDD has a few bad sectors whats the fastest and easiest way to fix them? | 07:07 |
| Out_Cold | Alphos, isn't that what synaptic is?? except for apt | 07:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: yea i was about tio say that also.. but dident want to bother. :) | 07:07 |
| Alphos | Out_Cold : it's the "except for apt" i'm touchy about ^^' | 07:08 |
| Out_Cold | Alphos, i use aptitude and apt interchangeably | 07:08 |
| Out_Cold | same same.. | 07:08 |
| rahduke | so yea bad sectors | 07:08 |
| Alphos | how's that ? synaptic uses aptitude ? | 07:08 |
| py_ | hello | 07:08 |
| Alphos | i thought it used apt-get | 07:08 |
| rahduke | pain in the ass drive is reading crappily | 07:08 |
| Out_Cold | Alphos, they both read the same files and .debs | 07:09 |
| mneptok | Alphos: apt-get gets far more attention from Ubuntu core devs than does aptitude. | 07:09 |
| Alphos | yes, but i've heard aptitude does keep track of installs (especially dependencies), which apt-get doesn't | 07:10 |
| Out_Cold | aptitude install vlc and apt-get install vlc achieve the same result and both use dpkg afaik | 07:10 |
| py_ | I freshly installed a karmic koala system, which is working fine. Now I want to install skype, so I added medibuntu to my sources list and updated. However, apt-cache search skype doesn't find it. Is it not supposed to be there? | 07:10 |
| mneptok | Alphos: that's patently false. | 07:10 |
| andrew_46 | Out_Cold: I have made some changes, could you dcc that file again? | 07:10 |
| Out_Cold | * Offering examples.desktop to andrew_46 | 07:11 |
| Alphos | so if i decide to remove a package, synaptic will get me rid of its dependencies too ? | 07:11 |
| petsounds | py_, yes. but you can always download from skype website. | 07:11 |
| Alphos | (without me having to remember what dependencies i installed, i mean) | 07:11 |
| andrew_46 | DCC GET Out_Cold examples.desktop | 07:11 |
| andrew_46 | oops | 07:11 |
| Out_Cold | Alphos, it tells you that you can uninstall them if they are useless | 07:11 |
| Out_Cold | andrew_46, failed (err=No route to host). | 07:12 |
| Alphos | hm | 07:12 |
| mneptok | Alphos: once you remove the package apt-get will tell you "the following packages were installed but are no longer needed" | 07:12 |
| andrew_46 | Out_Cold: Thanks anyway, I obviously have a little work to do yet | 07:12 |
| Out_Cold | Alphos, ^^ fixed with apt-get autoremove | 07:12 |
| Alphos | does synaptic take care of autoremove, then ? | 07:13 |
| blah569 | How can I completely remove a mysql installation so I can reinstall it? (sorry if anyone is still here from earlier, I went afk) | 07:13 |
| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| Out_Cold | Alphos, i don't think so | 07:13 |
| blah569 | Or maybe troubleshooting for a solution. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start returns [FAIL] | 07:13 |
| mneptok | blah569: going to try the MariaDB RC? :) | 07:14 |
| py_ | petsounds, thx for the hint, but my question was more like "has something changed in medibuntu that it doesn't offer skype anymore?" | 07:14 |
| blah569 | mneptok: haha, I might be interested in trying something new, however the current client is interested in using MySQL | 07:14 |
| mneptok | blah569: PM? | 07:15 |
| wolter | hi, what are "pre-release updates"? | 07:15 |
| blah569 | mneptok: sure, that would be cool | 07:15 |
| Darkedge | Can someone tell me a fancy login manager that ISN'T kdm or gdm, thanks. | 07:15 |
| Hilikus | how do i disable password access to a particular account in ssh so that only a key can be used? | 07:15 |
| blah569 | not sure how to pm from the freenode webchat haha | 07:15 |
| bovine | stupid question: is there a way to enable drag and drop from a network share to winamp when its running under wine? | 07:16 |
| Out_Cold | Darkedge, flux or xdm | 07:16 |
| Out_Cold | Hilikus, it's in the sshd_config i think | 07:17 |
| Flynsarmy | I have both wired and wireless enabled on my laptop - both set to the same IP. I want ethernet to take over when i plug it in keeping hte same static IP my wireless was using. When i plug in ethernet everything just sits on 'looking up' for about 2 mins before it finally loads the page. ideas? | 07:17 |
| Flynsarmy | It loads perfectly fine when either wifi or ethernet are enabled on their own | 07:18 |
| Hilikus | Out_Cold: i can only find how to disable it for the while daemon though. not for a user | 07:18 |
| Alphos | thanks for your help, Out_Cold :) | 07:18 |
| Darkedge | Out_Cold: well, based on what I see, xdm is quite lame http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Xdm_Screenshot.png and flux is a DE not a login manager | 07:18 |
| Out_Cold | Darkedge, lame and linux aren't too far apart from each other :p | 07:19 |
| Darkedge | Can someone tell me where I can find the lattest gdm packaged for Ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| Out_Cold | Hilikus, yea i guess i never tried for an individual user | 07:20 |
| Darkedge | Out_Cold: uhm no, look at the lattest kde :) | 07:20 |
| Out_Cold | http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/ | 07:21 |
| Out_Cold | might have to build from source | 07:21 |
| Flynsarmy | Anyone got networking working with ethernet and wifi having the same IP without needing to disable the other when plugging one in? | 07:23 |
| Out_Cold | Flynsarmy, i think that you need to have 2 seperate IP addys. when i try that out in my head, i don't think 2 different devices can have the same IP on the same network | 07:24 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: i used to do it with earlier ubuntus...the wifi would just take over when it was plugged in | 07:25 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: errr...i meant ethernet would take over... | 07:25 |
| Out_Cold | but before i think that you could only use one interface at a time | 07:26 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: yea that's pretty much what i want to do. i don't want to need to manually disable wifi every time i plug in my ethernet for the internet to work...i didn't hae to in earlier ubuntus | 07:26 |
| Out_Cold | Flynsarmy, what IP does it assign when you plug in the lan? | 07:29 |
| bullgard | Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? | 07:29 |
| Out_Cold | !pulse | 07:30 |
| ubottu | PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 07:30 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: they both say 10.0.0.21 however the broadcast address on one is 10.0.0.255 with subnet 255.255.255.0 and on the other its broadcast 10.255.255.255 with subnet 255.0.0.0 | 07:30 |
| Out_Cold | Flynsarmy, perhaps it's something in /etc/network/interfaces | 07:31 |
| Out_Cold | maybe they need the same subnet? | 07:32 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: all it has in there is iface lo inet loopback. Yea i'll see if i can make them teh same | 07:32 |
| Flynsarmy | Out_Cold: that was my problem - wrong netmask. Thanks for the help :) | 07:33 |
| Out_Cold | knew i was good for something | 07:34 |
| Out_Cold | it helps to talk out your problems | 07:34 |
| Out_Cold | i usually find my solutions while i am trying to pastebin all my info | 07:34 |
| Out_Cold | except for today's nfs iptable rules | 07:35 |
| meganerd | I don't use nfs anymore, so I could not help out there | 07:35 |
| Out_Cold | i couldn't get smb to work... so went to nfs.... and now that i'm trying to clean up my iptables from a huge mess, i can't get them to work | 07:36 |
| reeniginEesreveR | my cronjobs don't run well unless i provide full path to every executable ... is it possible to inherit PATH variables in my cronjobs environment? | 07:37 |
| neoalex | hello I'm getting the following error in log.nmbd | 07:38 |
| neoalex | Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. | 07:38 |
| neoalex | Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name | 07:39 |
| neoalex | any ideas on what how to fix this? | 07:39 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: what was the problem with samba? | 07:40 |
| neoalex | meganerd - this error in log.nmbd: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name | 07:40 |
| Out_Cold | can't remember... something to do with the connection i think.. | 07:40 |
| Out_Cold | someone suggested nfs as an idea and i went with that.. | 07:40 |
| abumaia | does anyone have a clue why my laptop screen turns off after 30 minutes, even though I have the screensaver turned off, and power management set to leave the screen on no matter what? | 07:41 |
| Out_Cold | the nfs works.. i know that because i can remove all my iptable rules and it does work... but when i add the rules i lose connection | 07:41 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: nfs was always flakey for me. Samba has been a solid solution for me years (well 10+ now), even when doing nix to nix | 07:42 |
| obiwan_ | hi, please i'm revoking a key, and the reason is that i don't use it anymore. That reason will be shown forever in the ubuntu keyserver, so please, could any native english speaker a formal short phrase? is "Not used anymore" ok? or maybe "Disabled" ? thanks :) | 07:43 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, what do you use to set your firewall?? | 07:43 |
| meganerd | all I allow is TCP 455 | 07:44 |
| abumaia | obiwan: unused? | 07:44 |
| meganerd | erm 445 | 07:44 |
| obiwan_ | Ok abumaia thanks :) | 07:44 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, how do you set that? | 07:44 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, what app you call to do so.. or you use hosts.allow/deny? | 07:45 |
| meganerd | iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT | 07:46 |
| meganerd | I don't bother with hosts allow or deny, too easy to spoof IPs, especially on someone else's LAN | 07:46 |
| meganerd | or wifi | 07:47 |
| kinja-sheep | abumaia: Key Revoked (Reason: Discontinued) | 07:47 |
| kinja-sheep | Err, obiwan_ ^^ :) | 07:47 |
| abumaia | kinja-sheep: thanks, but that's not for me ^_^ | 07:47 |
| Out_Cold | yea.. i was trying to steer away from those.. which is why i am struggling with these stupid rules.. | 07:48 |
| abumaia | is there anything other than the screensaver and power management that controls whether the screen is on or off due to idle time? | 07:48 |
| meganerd | sometimes the BIOS does | 07:49 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: if you want to avoid some of the pain of building rules by hand, check out the fwbuilder app | 07:49 |
| abumaia | meganerd: hmm, I hadn't thought of that, I'll have to check next time I reboot. thanks ^_^ | 07:49 |
| meganerd | abumaia: np | 07:49 |
| Out_Cold | might do it. ty | 07:50 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: if you are interested in this sort of thing, the book "Linux Firewalls" by Michael Rash (nostarch press) is really quite good | 07:51 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, i find that i don't have interests in these things till they kick me in the butt... | 07:52 |
| Out_Cold | but i'll go take a look. ty | 07:52 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: well, we all have our neurosis, mine are audio and networking | 07:52 |
| reactor | anybody? | 07:54 |
| reactor | how can I check HDD for hardware errors? | 07:54 |
| Out_Cold | reactor, fsck | 07:55 |
| abumaia | reactor: SMART? | 07:55 |
| reactor | hmm | 07:55 |
| meganerd | smartmon | 07:55 |
| reactor | I seem to have bad surface I mean | 07:55 |
| misterB | reactor: badblocks | 07:55 |
| reactor | roger | 07:55 |
| qweqweqwe | hi, how do you make services (ie ssh) start on bootup in ubuntu? like chkconfig in redhat... | 07:56 |
| meganerd | reactor: boot from a rescue disk, then scan the drive with fsck -c | 07:56 |
| reactor | ok | 07:56 |
| reactor | brb | 07:56 |
| misterB | reactor: sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sda (but replace 'sda' with the drive you want to check) | 07:56 |
| Dr_Willis | qweqweqwe: ubuntu uses 'upstart' for most services and sysv for a few others. So i depends on the exact service. see /etc/init to tell what ones are handled by upstart | 07:57 |
| qweqweqwe | thanks | 07:57 |
| misterB | Here's a question for anyone with virtualbox experience. I'm having trouble incorporating the kernel module I think. Take a look at this for all of the errors I'm seeing: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2ebf69bc | 07:58 |
| sontek | Trying to install ubuntu on a laptop with 64mb of memory and i'm getting: kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process | 07:59 |
| meowbuntu | hi my panel will no longer show apps in use | 08:00 |
| Dr_Willis | sontek: using the alterntive installer cd I hope? I doubt if it will be very useable on 64mb of ram. | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !lowram | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Thers some low memory factoid/guide i recall | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | !lowmemory | 08:01 |
| ubottu | For installing on low memory systems, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements. | 08:01 |
| meganerd | sontek: use the alternate installer, and consider a lightwer weight UI like xfce | 08:01 |
| meowbuntu | sontek, you need a minimum of 512 mb or ram to run ubuntu. (best is 1gig or more) | 08:01 |
| Dr_Willis | I got ubuntu going on 128mb of ram on my imac PPC - but its so sluggish its barely useable | 08:01 |
| meganerd | meowbuntu: not true, I have one system with 128 MiB | 08:02 |
| Dr_Willis | 'to run well' :) 512mb+ | 08:02 |
| Jasonrj | My Xubuntu runs nicely on 256MB | 08:02 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, before 6.1? | 08:02 |
| meowbuntu | hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do | 08:02 |
| meganerd | misterB: what CPU do you have? | 08:02 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: ??? | 08:03 |
| Out_Cold | meganerd, was the 128mb with a release before or after 6.10? i tried something similar and had to revert to 6.10 for it to work with 128 | 08:04 |
| obiwan_ | guys, i got a question about the ubuntu code of coundct, if i sign it, and a month later change my mind, can i revoke it? or is whole life long? | 08:04 |
| misterB | meganerd: amd turionX2 64bit | 08:04 |
| meowbuntu | any ideas for me please | 08:04 |
| obiwan_ | please, answer, i'm about to become an official ubunter and that's my last question | 08:04 |
| petsounds | obiwan_, you can always change it. | 08:04 |
| Out_Cold | obiwan_, plan on defying us? | 08:04 |
| obiwan_ | how petsounds ? | 08:04 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: 8.04 IIRC | 08:04 |
| misterB | meowbuntu: are you refering to the bottom panel to which you can minimize apps? | 08:04 |
| meowbuntu | !ask | obiwan_ | 08:05 |
| ubottu | obiwan_: 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. :-) | 08:05 |
| petsounds | obiwan_, there's an instruction when you sign it | 08:05 |
| obiwan_ | Out_Cold: defy? what do you mean Out_Cold ? please explain | 08:05 |
| meganerd | Out_Cold: I *always* use the alternate installer, even on my laptop with 4GiB of ram | 08:05 |
| Out_Cold | nevermind.. | 08:05 |
| meowbuntu | obiwan_, is ubuntu your first linux os | 08:05 |
| wolter | Hi, can somebody tell me how to get rid of this? http://imagebin.ca/img/E5Ni8s.png | 08:06 |
| obiwan_ | petsounds: i don't understand, i didn't get any instruction when downloaded the code, and in the launchad/codeofconduct doesn't say anything either | 08:06 |
| bullgard | Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it? | 08:06 |
| wolter | its some weird osd | 08:06 |
| obiwan_ | yeah meowbuntu | 08:06 |
| meowbuntu | ok obiwan_ can i pm you for a sec | 08:06 |
| obiwan_ | sure ! | 08:06 |
| petsounds | wolter, is that gnome-do? | 08:07 |
| meganerd | misterB: do you have the kernel headers installed? also which virtualbox packages do you have installed? | 08:07 |
| wolter | petsounds, yes, but I mean what is in front of it | 08:07 |
| wolter | the ugly text | 08:07 |
| wolter | the irc one | 08:07 |
| Out_Cold | wolter, what irc client? | 08:08 |
| misterB | meganerd: I forgot to install kernel headers when I reinstalled the system. Duh. I'm using the packages from virtualbox.org because I need USB support. | 08:08 |
| petsounds | wolter, not sure about that but double check at gnome-do plugins and untick it. | 08:08 |
| wolter | hm.. its not a gnome-do plugin | 08:09 |
| wolter | its a system-wide osd | 08:09 |
| wolter | but I don't think it is notify-osd | 08:09 |
| Out_Cold | could be an irc osd | 08:09 |
| meganerd | misterB: I am using the 9.10 packages, I did not realize that USB did not work | 08:09 |
| misterB | meganerd: kernel headers were already installed | 08:09 |
| meganerd | I am migrating from vmware workstation, and so far I like virtualbox the best | 08:10 |
| misterB | meganerd: the OSE version does not incorporate USB support | 08:10 |
| meganerd | misterB: anyway, do you have the virtualbox modules loaded? | 08:10 |
| wolter | can somebody ping me please? | 08:11 |
| misterB | meganerd: How do I check | 08:11 |
| meganerd | misterB: lsmod |grep vbox | 08:11 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Pong. | 08:11 |
| wolter | thanks kinja-sheep | 08:11 |
| SwedeMike | CTCP PING reply from wolter: 1.012 seconds | 08:12 |
| SwedeMike | wolter: you don't reply to ICMP PING though | 08:12 |
| meowbuntu | hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do | 08:12 |
| meganerd | hist router is dropping ICMP | 08:12 |
| wolter | thanks both | 08:12 |
| misterB | meganerd: nothing came up, and I did notice an error somewhere that said file was missing from ... Let me find it. | 08:13 |
| meganerd | kind of useless | 08:13 |
| maco | meowbuntu: right click on panel -> add to panel -> window list? | 08:13 |
| wolter | SwedeMike, I just wanted someone to mention my name so xchat would notify me, so I could test the notifications | 08:13 |
| Out_Cold | gnight all | 08:13 |
| kinja-sheep | SwedeMike: Can you CTCP ping metoo? | 08:13 |
| wolter | Weegee, but thanks anyway | 08:13 |
| misterB | meganerd: error was 'Module vboxdrv does not exist in /proc/modules' | 08:14 |
| meowbuntu | maco, thanks that did it | 08:15 |
| misterB | meganerd: did you see my post in pastebin? | 08:15 |
| meganerd | misterB: m2ebf69bc ? | 08:15 |
| misterB | yeah | 08:15 |
| wolter | hm.. one more ping for me please? | 08:16 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Oorah! | 08:16 |
| wolter | and again | 08:16 |
| meganerd | misterB: try modprobing these three modules manually: vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt | 08:16 |
| kinja-sheep | wolter: Booyah! | 08:16 |
| wolter | ah thanks | 08:16 |
| wolter | yeah, for those who saw my screenshot, it was gnome-osd | 08:16 |
| wolter | had uninstalled it but it kept running.. forgot to kill it | 08:16 |
| obiwan_ | please, petsounds could you tell me where is the instruction so i can read it? i really want to make sure i can change my mind about the contract i sign, it isn't anything written about it on the contract itself | 08:19 |
| misterB | meganerd: I got the following errors: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m52bbf2c | 08:19 |
| meganerd | misterB: you need root privs, try using sudo in front | 08:19 |
| misterB | meganerd: did that. see the error messages below the first | 08:20 |
| meganerd | misterB: I see that you are missing the net modules, this means that you will be unable to bridge interfaces, but you should still be able to boot your VMs in NAT mode | 08:21 |
| meganerd | what does dmesg say? | 08:21 |
| misterB | meganerd: see post below errors on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7bfc8e81 | 08:24 |
| meganerd | misterB: how did you build these modules? | 08:25 |
| obiwan_ | please guys, could anybody tell me if i can change my mind after signing the ubuntu code of conduct ? the code itself doesn't tell a word about it, so i'm unsure, and i don't want to sign a contract for whole life long, not even an friendly ubuntu one | 08:26 |
| misterB | meganerd: I installed http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian in my repositories and did an apt-get | 08:26 |
| kinja-sheep | obiwan_: Best to ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:26 |
| meganerd | obiwan_: simply revoke your key, or submit a bug/feature request | 08:26 |
| misterB | meganerd: I'm going to try downloading the deb from their site and see if that works better. | 08:27 |
| meganerd | misterB: in the /usr/src directory, do you have a virtualbox directory | 08:27 |
| obiwan_ | thanks kinja-sheep | 08:27 |
| obiwan_ | meganerd: but that ain't revoke my signature, just the key i signed it with | 08:28 |
| obiwan_ | ok i'll ask at offtopic | 08:28 |
| misterB | meganerd: yes called 'vboxdrv-2.0.12' | 08:28 |
| meganerd | misterB: do you have a package called virtualbox-dkms? | 08:29 |
| misterB | meganerd: not that I can tell | 08:30 |
| misterB | meganerd: searched in synaptic and found nothing. | 08:30 |
| osirisx11 | network file shares (from folder properties) - i shared a folder on one computer on my network, what can i do to make it appear in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ? | 08:30 |
| meganerd | misterB: on my system the ose one is called: virtualbox-ose-dkms | 08:31 |
| CrAzYoNi | Hi all | 08:31 |
| meganerd | osirisx11: add an entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf | 08:31 |
| meganerd | osirisx11: of course you need to install samba first | 08:31 |
| meowbuntu | can ubuntu 9.10 run on a dell mini 9 | 08:31 |
| realLife | i cant extract .rar under linux | 08:32 |
| realLife | why | 08:32 |
| meganerd | meowbuntu: is that an Atom based device? | 08:32 |
| CrAzYoNi | I'm using Ubuntu9.10 as guest on VMware, I'm trying to bridge into it my edimax 802.11g wireless pci card, but Ubuntu recognize it as Ethernet, while I can successfully bridge my Edimax Wireless N USB card, do you might have any ideas for me? | 08:32 |
| kinja-sheep | !hcl | meowbuntu | 08:32 |
| ubottu | meowbuntu: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 08:32 |
| misterB | meganerd: don't see anything like that. | 08:32 |
| meganerd | misterB: try searching from the command line "aptitude search virtualbox" | 08:32 |
| meganerd | realLife: because rar is a patent encumbered format | 08:33 |
| osirisx11 | meowbuntu: is there no GUI way to do this? why would ubuntu have a way to share files but no obvious way to access them on other computers? | 08:33 |
| realLife | i need to extract this file quickly :O how do I do it? | 08:33 |
| bmatthew | is there a netbook remix channel? | 08:33 |
| meganerd | realLife: sudo aptitude install unrar | 08:33 |
| realLife | that makes 2% sence | 08:33 |
| meganerd | realLife: I use 7zip for everything, I usually install: p7zip-full p7zip-rar | 08:34 |
| misterB | meganerd: there is nothing listed with dkms | 08:34 |
| lyrae | is there a program that lets you create a program's flowchart? | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | !rar | 08:34 |
| ubottu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 08:34 |
| meowbuntu | meganerd, kinja-sheep its actually for obiwan_ i was asking | 08:34 |
| meowbuntu | ^ i'm in pm with him | 08:35 |
| realLife | thats enough ubunto for today bye :< | 08:35 |
| bmatthew | id like some more in-depth information as to how ubuntu netbook remix has been 'optimized' for the atom processor. anyone got anything? | 08:35 |
| kinja-sheep | meowbuntu, obiwan_ : I know Dell Mini 10 (terrible) and 10v (great) both works. However, 10v resembles similar hardware as 9 so I would think it is. | 08:36 |
| misterB | meganerd: is it possible that the virtualbox-dkms pakage doesn't exist for 64bit? | 08:36 |
| meganerd | misterB: I am using 64bit | 08:36 |
| meganerd | misterB: I just figured it out, I have the PPA for Virtualbox OSE | 08:36 |
| osirisx11 | meganerd: keep in mind ose does not have usb support | 08:37 |
| misterB | osirisx11: we've discussed that. That's why I'm having trouble. I'm not using the OSE | 08:37 |
| misterB | meganerd: I'm going to try uninstalling, and reinstalling the package from virtualbox website to see if that fixes the problem first | 08:38 |
| meganerd | misterB: user aptitude purge | 08:38 |
| meganerd | misterB: use aptitude purge | 08:38 |
| osirisx11 | misterB: ok cool | 08:39 |
| misterB | meganerd: just realized I was using an old version (2.0). That might be the problem. | 08:40 |
| meganerd | misterB: ahh, I am downloading the latest as we speak... gotta love 15mbit connections | 08:41 |
| meganerd | I am doing a presentation at our LUG in march on virtualization | 08:41 |
| meganerd | I should probably test both versions, since it is a shootout :) | 08:41 |
| misterB | meganerd: here's the reason I'm not going OSE. My wife has an iPod Touch, and so far, the only thing that I can get it to work flawlessly with is iTunes, and you can't WINE iTunes. | 08:43 |
| osirisx11 | what can i do to make ubuntu shared folders visible in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ? | 08:43 |
| misterB | meganerd: hence I need usb support on the virtual machine for iPod management. | 08:44 |
| misterB | osirisx11: smb? | 08:44 |
| misterB | osirisx11: if you don't like smb, you can use ssh | 08:45 |
| osirisx11 | either would be fine, but to an end user who is sharing files, editing an smb conf is not a good answer | 08:46 |
| osirisx11 | if i have a share, it should be visible already on the other computers | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: the user 'shares' tghey can create use samba/smb or you could set up where the users homes get shared by samba by default. or you could set up NFS shares. | 08:46 |
| misterB | osirisx11: ubuntu does smb the friendly way with context menus and graphical interfaces. | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: douible check your workgroup. and try typing in the url manually in the file manager address bar. | 08:47 |
| osirisx11 | my workgroup? | 08:47 |
| osirisx11 | i have all ubuntu 9.10 on my network | 08:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Yes. You want to have all pcs in the same workgroup normally | 08:47 |
| osirisx11 | where is my workgroup setting? | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | in teh samba configs | 08:48 |
| osirisx11 | i haven't changed the smb config files | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | /etc/samba/smb.conf | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you DID install samba on all the machines? | 08:48 |
| triple_xxx | apt-fast over apt-get give it a try it rock the house... ;) | 08:48 |
| misterB | osirisx11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba | 08:48 |
| osirisx11 | thanks guys | 08:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you did give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' on the machines... | 08:48 |
| osirisx11 | why do i have to DO that though? | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | of course for linux to linux - NFS will be faster | 08:49 |
| osirisx11 | i checked the checkbox under folder properties and hit create share | 08:49 |
| MorphyNOR | osirisx11: don't use smb for linux to linux :) | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: because thats how samba works. In theory it SHOULD of installed the samba service once you enabled those. | 08:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres MUCH MUCH MICH more to samba then 'just a way for users to share a specific folder' | 08:49 |
| osirisx11 | i know you guys think i am being stubborn but i want you to think of it from an end user's perspective | 08:49 |
| Bakefy | Hello everyone | 08:49 |
| misterB | meganerd: updated version works like a charm | 08:50 |
| osirisx11 | if i check "share this folder" and "create share" then in a user's mind it should show up in the other computer | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | The idea of the users even being able to make their own personal shares - is a relatively 'new' feature | 08:50 |
| MorphyNOR | !hello | Bakefy | 08:50 |
| ubottu | Bakefy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 08:50 |
| bmatthew | lol | 08:50 |
| c_nick | Ubuntu 9 onwards do not work on my P4-P4i45GV-1GB RAM pc | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | my users shares work fine here.. but i also have installed and configured the samba server how i wanted it. | 08:50 |
| osirisx11 | Dr_Willis: how do you figure? had file shares since win95 or win nt right? | 08:51 |
| misterB | osirisx11: did you take a look at the help page I referred to? | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: i have every users home directory set up as a share. | 08:51 |
| Bakefy | Thanks for the welcome. I was wondering if anyone here has installed ubuntu on their ps3. (im not getting any responces on ubuntu-ps3 channel. | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: you are thinking of windows.. we are discussing linux . | 08:51 |
| triple_xxx | lol bots nuts :) | 08:51 |
| c_nick | !hi | all | 08:51 |
| ubottu | all: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 08:51 |
| osirisx11 | i appreciate your guys' advice! i don't know anything about NFS. | 08:51 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: if you were not using gnome - you woudlent even have the 'share this folder' feature not sure that KDE has it at all. | 08:51 |
| MorphyNOR | Bakefy: You should probably try to be more precise :) | 08:51 |
| MorphyNOR | !nfs | osirisx11 | 08:52 |
| ubottu | osirisx11: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 08:52 |
| osirisx11 | thanks | 08:52 |
| ben_germany | hi guys! i have a problem with multiple desktops running under ubuntu 9.10. i usually have my laptop at home with a monitor hooked up to its HDMI port, but today i took it with me to the university. now the problem is that when i boot up ubuntu, the laptop screen stays black, as if the second monitor (which isnt here) was the only one active. is there any combination of keys that i can git, so it switches back to normal? | 08:52 |
| osirisx11 | would NFS it show up in the network browser? | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: with NFS you could set up where each machines /home gets shared to each other machine some hiow. and transfer files . no real need for a dozen individual shares. | 08:52 |
| ben_germany | *hit, sorry | 08:52 |
| Bakefy | MorphyNOR: I am not able to install ubuntu on my PS3. I go through all the steps and then it fails to boot into ubuntu | 08:52 |
| c_nick | MorphyNOR: For 5 seconds i was mistaking that for NEED FOR SPEED :P | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: the network 'browser' is for samba shares. | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | You dont normally browse for nfs shares. | 08:53 |
| MASARUwota | ben_germany: does your laptop have function keys? maybe those work? | 08:53 |
| MorphyNOR | c_nick: but it is, just that :P | 08:53 |
| ben_germany | no, tried that :( | 08:53 |
| MASARUwota | ah | 08:53 |
| osirisx11 | Dr_Willis: then why do i have to click Windows Network after i go to the network browser? | 08:53 |
| ben_germany | doesnt do it | 08:53 |
| Dr_Willis | osirisx11: network:/// here shows all my machines on my lan. | 08:53 |
| MorphyNOR | Bakefy: well, what exactly do you mean by fails to boot? | 08:53 |
| meganerd | osirisx11: you may have had file shares since windows 3.x, but they did not automatically appear on every other computer, you had to add the shares manually from every client | 08:53 |
| MASARUwota | ben_germany: it works fine at home? | 08:53 |

| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: ive had no problems with the google chrome from the google repos. | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: i just follow the 'google chrome linux' links i get in google. | 09:03 |
| meowbuntu | EastDallas, Dr_Willis here is the ubuntu native installer for google chrome http://www.google.com/chrome | 09:04 |
| triple_xxx | manual install is needed for apt-fast uses axel to speed up downloads on apt-get | 09:04 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: I had issues printing with Chrome, but not with Chromium | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: one thing to watch out for is i recall there being 2 versions of google chrome - one dosent (or dident) have the extensions feature | 09:04 |
| triple_xxx | Myrtti: what you mean this bot surfs more then one irc channel???? | 09:05 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: the link I gave you is for the daily builds of the unbranded FOSS version of chrome: chromium | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | EastDallas: i think ive also had printing issues.. but i never did look into it much | 09:05 |
| Myrtti | triple_xxx: it is present on many channels. | 09:05 |
| EastDallas | Dr_Willis: there | 09:05 |
| kinja-sheep | triple_xxx: ubottu is in multiple #ubuntu channels | 09:05 |
| meowbuntu | EastDallas, in linux you have to use chromium not chrome itself for licence reasons | 09:06 |
| Myrtti | meowbuntu: *have* to? eh | 09:06 |
| EastDallas | Dr_Willis: There's a known issue...I'll find the bug number.... | 09:06 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: not true...google just released Chrome for linux a few weeks ago | 09:06 |
| Myrtti | meowbuntu: I use Chrome just fine, because I do not have license issues | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.google.com/chrome | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: i just get the google-chrome.deb and inxtall it... | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i think the .deb also adds a new repo to let it get updated | 09:07 |
| ben_germany | hm weird | 09:07 |
| meowbuntu | Myrtti, its something to do with google licensing | 09:07 |
| web1109 | I used to be able to remove the username and leave the just power button on the top right, howto on karmic? | 09:07 |
| ben_germany | dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org did not work | 09:07 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html | 09:07 |
| triple_xxx | Myrtti: I thought chrome was free????? | 09:07 |
| Myrtti | meowbuntu: why would they have a Linux version of Chrome if they had licence issues prohibiting it? | 09:07 |
| Myrtti | triple_xxx: as in price, yes it is | 09:08 |
| meowbuntu | Myrtti, even if i install chromimuc it still calles it chrome ok | 09:08 |
| EastDallas | Dr_Willis: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30471 | 09:08 |
| geirha | triple_xxx: chromium is free | 09:08 |
| rethus | how can i find out which vendor y ram has? | 09:08 |
| strange_ | whats the best ubuntu help chan? | 09:08 |
| web1109 | rethus: install hardinfo | 09:08 |
| Myrtti | rethus: you're not making sense, could you reword your question? | 09:09 |
| czr_ | Myrtti, you can run chrome nowadays. they distribute 32 and 64-bit debs and rpms | 09:09 |
| triple_xxx | geirha: I know that ,but the browser costs money????? | 09:09 |
| meowbuntu | Myrtti, chrom is not opensorce chromium is opensorce thats all | 09:09 |
| kinja-sheep | triple_xxx: Free as in "free beer" but not free as in "free to do whatever you want" | 09:09 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: I have both Chrome and Chromium installed. They are separate apps. | 09:09 |
| djhash | hey.. I was installing some updates but the power went out. How can i check if there are any errors and redo them? right now update manager is showing me a list of apps that was not in the previous list. nothing from previous list is on this new one even though it did not finish the update. Also this new list will not install, corrupted package or something... | 09:09 |
| Myrtti | czr_: yes, surprisingly I do know that, since I've got them both installed. meowbuntu has more problems with this | 09:09 |
| Miracle | ver 4.0.249.43 says it was made possible by the chromium project. so it is chrome | 09:09 |
| geirha | triple_xxx: No money, just got an extra licence that limits what you are allowed to do with it. | 09:09 |
| czr_ | ah yes, my bad myrtti :-) | 09:09 |
| meowbuntu | EastDallas, ok thats great i learnt something. what the differance | 09:09 |
| meowbuntu | EastDallas, pm me so we dont clog the channel | 09:10 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: chrome is based on Chromium. | 09:10 |
| triple_xxx | rethus: pull your computer apart and look at the brand name... is that what you want to know????? | 09:10 |
| marabout | when I log in grub menu indicates there are other versions installed, e.g. 8.04, etc. how can I delete those so just 8.10 remains? | 09:10 |
| rethus | Myrtti: i have two slots free (of my ram bank) and now have ddr 400 dualchannel-ram (2x512) and i want to upgrade it to dualchannel | 09:10 |
| meowbuntu | east i know about that | 09:10 |
| rethus | i think to have dual channel ram, its needed to have the same vendors?! so i need to now exactly what vendor and type my ram now is | 09:11 |
| kinja-sheep | Okay. I'm trying to accomplish something but I can't get it to work with fstab. When you mount partitions, you get /media/$RANDOM. How can I specify to use $NAME? | 09:11 |
| Myrtti | rethus: you can try "sudo lshw" | 09:11 |
| EastDallas | meowbuntu: that's the difference | 09:11 |
| Dr_Willis | meowbuntu: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2008/09/google-unveils-chrome-source-code-and-linux-port.ars has some info in the diffs | 09:11 |

| rethus | kinja-sheep: mhh, wokrks., but vendor and product is "none" | 09:13 |

| ouyes | ershad, try this ( i never tried) go to system> admin>software source chose third-part software click "Add CD_ROM" | 09:40 |

| ershad | ouyes, it's the same option as that of 'add cdrom' from synaptic, right ? i have tried it | 09:41 |
| jami | r4ban: did you run asoundconf list before? | 09:41 |
| web1109 | Computech: once you click on the username, on the bottom look for "keyboard" (in Karmic) | 09:41 |

| ouyes | ershad, first insert the dvd , then try it again | 09:41 |
| ershad | ouyes, from DVD number 1 ? | 09:41 |
| Computech | web1109, i think it's using a loginscreen without the keyboard button on the bottom. | 09:42 |
| r4ban | jami: no error messages on aplay | 09:42 |
| r4ban | lemme show you the pastebin | 09:42 |

| Computech | I can try that. | 09:49 |
| Diverdude | Ara92, thats insanely slow | 09:49 |
| DaZ | Diverdude: did you achieve 50mbps on any other system? :f | 09:49 |
| jami | Diverdude: Some external 2,5" hdd need an external power supply to reach full speed | 09:50 |
| jami | Diverdude: or a splitted usb cable | 09:50 |
| Diverdude | jami, it has external powersupply | 09:50 |
| ouyes | ershad, insert one of them try to see what directories are in there | 09:50 |
| jami | Diverdude: then something is going wrong | 09:50 |

| Oli`` | I recently upgraded my graphics card. Everything was awesome. I then started a new user account because my old one had a lot of cruft in it. Compiz performance is now pretty poor when doing something like moving wobbly windows. If I disable VSync (in compiz) it goes too fast and you don't see any of the effects. I'm wondering what I could have done to upset things so much considering the only differences are inside ~ | 10:24 |

| Hunt3 | Salmon: Hunt3 is now registered to email@email.com, with the password password. | 10:39 |
| Salmon | .... | 10:39 |
| ershad | jami: could you help ? | 10:40 |
| Salmon | your sort of not meant to tell people that | 10:40 |
| jami | ershad: and ... the apt list contains the cd or dvd as repository afaik | 10:40 |
| ershad | jami: yes | 10:40 |
| jami | ershad: so u can install stuff from it | 10:41 |
| ershad | jami: on updating, apt-get tries to go online | 10:41 |
| johntramp | how would i add an application not installed via apt into the netbook-launcher in ubuntu-netbook-remix? | 10:41 |
| ershad | jami: and updates from net | 10:41 |
| jami | ershad: you don't want that? | 10:41 |
| tdn | I have tried installing an HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer, but when I try to print, nothing happens. | 10:42 |
| kinja-sheep | johntramp: Create a launcher, I would guess. | 10:42 |
| jami | ershad: then update the apt list and deactivate all remote repos | 10:42 |
| Hunt3 | Salmon: i still get the error | 10:42 |
| ershad | jami: i would like to install s/w from DVD using 'apt-get install' | 10:42 |
| Hunt3 | #freenode Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel | 10:42 |
| johntramp | kinja-sheep: how would i do that? | 10:42 |

| ershad | jam:yes, i have unticked all http-repos | 10:42 |
| Hunt3 | no..how do i use IDENTIFY? | 10:42 |
| niko | Hunt3: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 10:43 |

| ershad | still it goes online and fetch files for each installation | 10:43 |
| kinja-sheep | johntramp: I don't use UNR so it may be different than regular Gnome desktop. Look for Menu Editor in Preferences/System (if it is there). | 10:43 |
| jami | ershad: and aptitude update | 10:43 |
| johntramp | ok, thanks kinja-sheep | 10:43 |
| pat|nG | if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome? | 10:43 |

| bsulzer | hi ev'ryone i'd like to get my middle click to work. how do i do that? | 10:44 |
| jami | ershad: maybe a apt-get clean before | 10:44 |
| geofft | whyyyy do I ever try joining this channel. | 10:44 |
| ershad | jami: ok, i will try that | 10:44 |
| infid | how come when i type 'ln -s foo.pl dir/foo.pl' and ls -l dir/foo.pl it shows a loop link like: foo.pl->foo.pl | 10:44 |
| creamycentre | bsulzer: it should be assignable to an event as button 3 | 10:44 |
| pat|nG | if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome? | 10:45 |
| geofft | because ln -s takes the exact text of the first argument as the link, it doesn't do clever things with relative positioning | 10:45 |
| geofft | you probably want to say ln -s ../foo.pl dir/foo.pl | 10:45 |
| infid | pat|nG: ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde | 10:45 |
| geofft | the path is relative from the position you're creating the link, not the current directory of the ln command | 10:45 |
| bsulzer | creamycentre, sry i don't get you. where do i catch this event? | 10:45 |
| Hunt3 | Salmon: niko: Please check your email for instructions to complete your registration. which email do i need to check? | 10:45 |
| infid | geofft: ah that makes sense. thanks | 10:45 |
| pat|nG | infid: but can i change it to kde? is it possible? | 10:45 |
| ershad | jami: http://pastebin.com/d71130636 | 10:46 |
| infid | pat|nG: yeah | 10:46 |
| infid | pat|nG: just install kde and you can switch to using it | 10:46 |
| geofft | infid: basically a symlink is just stored on disk as a normal file with the link contents as the file | 10:46 |
| pat|nG | infid: thanx | 10:46 |
| geofft | infid: it just happens to have the 'link' bit set | 10:46 |
| infid | i see | 10:46 |
| ershad | jami: any idea ? | 10:47 |
| gibblet | hey how do i install a package from unstable ... im searching with apt .. and after i have added the unstable repository ... i see this ... apt-cache madison netatalk | 10:47 |
| gibblet | netatalk | 2.0.5-2 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages | 10:47 |
| gibblet | netatalk | 2.0.3-11+lenny1 | http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages | 10:47 |
| gibblet | how do i refer to the 2.0.5 version when doing apt-get install | 10:48 |
| kinja-sheep | gibblet: #debian | 10:48 |
| gibblet | dude they are invite only ! | 10:48 |
| Salmon | Hunt3, you were supposed to replace email@email.com with your email | 10:48 |
| meganerd | gibblet: google for apt pinning | 10:48 |
| gibblet | and kinja dont be a tool your whole life | 10:48 |
| gibblet | well yeah i added some shizz about pinning | 10:48 |
| jami | ershad: but where did the program get the remote infos. Do you really edit the complete /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:48 |
| jami | ershad: but where did the program get the remote infos. Do you really edit the complete /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:49 |
| gibblet | but i think you might be onto something | 10:49 |
| wild_oscar | how can one change the network-manager configuration from the shell? | 10:49 |
| rethus | how was the command to look if my system use swap? | 10:49 |
| ershad | jami: I think that explains it :) Lemme remove *all* http links | 10:50 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: free -m | 10:50 |
| hubbix | wich distro is the best for newbees.. now running koala? | 10:50 |
| rethus | wild_oscar: so i have this: Swap: 2541 15 2526 | 10:51 |
| rethus | this means, if my system use sap i have to few ram? | 10:51 |
| Myrtti | hubbix: this is #ubuntu and you'll be most likely recommended Ubuntu. | 10:51 |
| * DaZ recommends windows | 10:51 | |
| wild_oscar | rethus: "total, used, free" | 10:51 |
| Riverthief | Hubbix: Karmic(Ubuntu 9.10), or Mint 8 | 10:51 |
| DJones | hubbix: There's no real answer to that, it depends what you find the most convinient and intuitive for yourself | 10:51 |
| wild_oscar | it means it will use up to 2541 of swap, yes | 10:51 |
| Riverthief | are the most user firendly imho | 10:51 |
| DaZ | rethus: 2,5 gigabyte of swap is a bit of overkill | 10:52 |
| rethus | wild_oscar: is it better if a system have so much ram that he never swap? | 10:52 |
| geofft | hubbix: honestly my answer to that is the distro the most people you know use. | 10:52 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: check the info on swappiness | 10:52 |
| hubbix | do mint come with preintalled pluggins | 10:52 |
| rethus | DaZ. someone told me nearly 1% of diskspace | 10:52 |
| Myrtti | hubbix: yes, but it also may have a bit less support than ubuntu | 10:52 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: no. on a desktop linux swap usage will affect performance | 10:52 |
| Riverthief | hubbix: Mint will be fine for out-of-the-box use. Their IRC is very helpful aswell | 10:53 |
| Riverthief | as is the forums | 10:53 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: if you have lots of ram (4GB), 2GB of swap is too much | 10:53 |
| rethus | wild_oscar: i hav 1GB | 10:53 |
| zig_ | I heard there's motherboard-level ECC-type functionality in modern hardware | 10:53 |
| hubbix | all i coult say about ubuntu is it looks the best but i getting some problems with sound when i play dvd | 10:53 |
| zig_ | Can anyone verify this? | 10:54 |
| Riverthief | rethus, I have 3gb RAM, and only 800something mb of swap, and I never reach the limit. | 10:54 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: when the system will use swap is also controlled by swappiness, check that | 10:54 |
| Salmon | hubbix, try vlc | 10:54 |
| Riverthief | rethus, I recommend around 1.5gb of swap | 10:54 |
| wild_oscar | 1gb...seems "not a lot", but it all boils down to how you use the system | 10:54 |
| Salmon | its your best bet for playing dvd's | 10:54 |
| chinmoy | why so muchof swap when you have got RAM! | 10:54 |
| chinmoy | hmm, playing the DVD thing sounds good. | 10:55 |
| chinmoy | but still, | 10:55 |
| arand | chinmoy: hibernation... | 10:55 |
| Riverthief | chinmoy, because the swap will at least take some of the pressure off the small amount of ram, and performance won't decrease that much imho | 10:55 |
| chinmoy | elsewhere, do you really need so much of swap? | 10:55 |
| ershad | jami: please see this : http://pastebin.com/m7e33223f | 10:55 |
| rethus | wild_oscar: what is swapiness? I don't have such a command on shell | 10:56 |
| hubbix | yea i shall do linux is great btw.. i installed xbmc on top of ubuntu no soundproblems whatsoever | 10:56 |
| Riverthief | chinmoy, yes, if you wanna use hibernation | 10:56 |
| chinmoy | hmm, but dont gigs come loaded with good amounts of ram nowadays? | 10:56 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: google | 10:56 |
| Riverthief | chinmoy, WOW...JUST WOW... | 10:56 |
| Riverthief | oops caps | 10:56 |
| ershad | jami: Thanks a lot, its working :) | 10:56 |
| chinmoy | ya, hibernation is another. | 10:56 |
| wild_oscar | rethus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq | 10:56 |
| hubbix | great for streeming from my machintosh/readynas perfect | 10:57 |
| chinmoy | !!!:) | 10:57 |
| jami | ershad: otherwise use apt-cdrom | 10:57 |
| ershad | jami: yeah :) | 10:57 |
| hubbix | apt | 10:57 |
| chinmoy | hmm, @Riverthief, I do not use hibernation. | 10:57 |
| chinmoy | :) | 10:57 |
| chinmoy | It spoils the hdd. | 10:57 |
| chinmoy | continuous slow write cycles.. | 10:58 |
| hubbix | i wonder if i should trow out windows drive and install ubu on harddisk is it better than usb stick | 10:58 |
| chinmoy | sure! | 10:59 |
| chinmoy | why not use it full time? I do.. | 10:59 |
| Riverthief | anyway, chinmoy, right now I am watching a movie, have firefox open with 13 tabs, and have a VM going(with 256mb dedi ram). I am using 600mb of my RAM and nothing of swap. It's still good to have some swap, especially with only 1gb of RAM. | 10:59 |
| jami | hubbix: do it | 10:59 |
| neurre | hi | 10:59 |
| neurre | how do i add non free to my sources? | 10:59 |
| chinmoy | hmm, definitely, agreed on that, Riverthief. | 11:00 |
| Riverthief | you mean the restricted packages? | 11:00 |
| jami | neurre: add them to the source.list | 11:00 |
| neurre | yeah | 11:00 |
| Riverthief | sec | 11:00 |
| hubbix | jami: i got one realy old 13gb an 1 no so old 80gb what to do | 11:00 |
| neurre | well i have deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted | 11:00 |
| Salmon | hubbix, it will most likely increase your performance however you might want to consider dualbooting if there are any must have applications that do not run under ubuntu | 11:00 |
| kinja-sheep | neurre: Take a look in Software Sources (under System --> Admin). | 11:00 |
| Myrtti | neurre: ubuntu doesn't have "non-free" in the same sense as debian does. Some of that stuff may be on medibuntu | 11:00 |
| Myrtti | neurre: what are you actually trying to achieve? | 11:00 |
| chinmoy | this is interesting. wait lemme register. | 11:00 |
| neurre | Myrtti, http://source.android.com/download | 11:01 |
| Riverthief | neurre, sudo aptitude -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 11:01 |
| Riverthief | should do | 11:01 |
| jami | hubbix: put ubuntu on the 13gb and your home to the 80gb | 11:01 |
| neurre | E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jdk | 11:01 |
| chinmoy | :) | 11:01 |
| neurre | that fails | 11:01 |
| Riverthief | ok | 11:01 |
| Riverthief | sudo aptitude update | 11:01 |
| Riverthief | first | 11:01 |
| jami | jami: neurre: add them to the source.list | 11:01 |
| hubbix | jami: tnx il do it | 11:01 |
| neurre | jami, add what to source.list? | 11:02 |
| neurre | i dont know the source of sun-java5-jdk for ubuntu | 11:02 |
| neurre | that is my issue | 11:02 |
| Myrtti | !java | neurre | 11:02 |

| sefram | do I really need to reinstall because my Hardware Driver utility is unable to detect my board? | 11:22 |
| RobLikesBrunch | jami: Is Perl the dominant language in Linux? What about Python & Ruby? | 11:22 |
| Salmon | zetheroo, you might want to try gtk-recordmydesktop like others have suggested | 11:23 |
| zetheroo | popey: was the audio and video out of sync when you were recording through the GUI? | 11:23 |
| zetheroo | Salmon; as I said I already have been trying it | 11:23 |
| Riverthief | RobLikesBrunch, Perl would be the way to go imho. To know regular expressions is a powerful thing | 11:23 |
| popey | zetheroo: yes | 11:23 |
| zetheroo | Salmon: video and audio are out of sync ... so useless ... unless popey has the key ... | 11:23 |

| zetheroo | popey: ok I'll give it a shot ... | 11:24 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Riverthief: Wait...Perl or Python? | 11:24 |
| Riverthief | RobLikesBrunch, Perl imho | 11:24 |
| zetheroo | popey: but you are also not using an internal mic | 11:24 |
| RobLikesBrunch | Riverthief: But "python is quite easy"? I'm confused :P | 11:24 |
| popey | zetheroo: doesnt matter | 11:24 |
| sefram | I installed fglrx with the hardware dirver tool but ended up with no login srceen and currupted cursor, then i compiled the most recent version, installed it but that didnt change anything. After disabling Desktop Effects it wont even give me any X screen so i purged all fglrx and now they cant be reinstalled throught the hardware driver tool... I really LOVE AMD !! | 11:25 |
| Salmon | zetheroo, as a work around you could manually sinc the audio in whatever video editor you use | 11:25 |
| Riverthief | RobLikesBrunch, yes, Python can be learned in a few weeks, but the earlier nyou start with Perl the better. Plus Perl has so many more uses | 11:25 |

| perlmonkey | it's weird | 11:51 |
| perlmonkey | im gonna try something...brb | 11:51 |
| iflema | perlmonkey its pretty solid i thought.... up in twinview now. just the one issue.... no seperate desktop background images :( | 11:52 |
| Hunt3 | web1109: ya i checked it's not here in spam mails too | 11:53 |
| iflema | perlmonkey apart from pasting two images together.... pez | 11:53 |
| kinja-sheep | Hunt3: Official Freenode Support @ #freenode | 11:54 |
| perlmonkey | iflema: i've just compared my desktop settings to when I use twinview in auto-started config and manual config... and there's a clear difference: on auto-started it has two monitor settings tabs (monitor 1 and monitor 2) allowing independent desktop background images, however on manual config if I click on desktop there's only 1 monitor settings area, i.e. its treating both screens as one desktop | 11:55 |
| Hunt3 | kinja-sheep: #freenode-fr, is it the same? | 11:55 |
| Salmon | perlmonkey, your nvidia settings arent restored on login by default | 11:55 |
| kinja-sheep | Hunt3: I would think it is... In french languages. | 11:56 |
| perlmonkey | I'm unable to get X to auto-start with the manual approach (treating both screens as one screen) tried everything.. so I'm assuming there is not a feature but rather a quirk of using nvidia manually | 11:56 |
| Salmon | you ether have to add nvidia-setting -l to your startup applications or run it yourself | 11:56 |
| perlmonkey | Salmon: I've saved the settings, actually copied and pasted them into xorg.conf | 11:57 |
| zetheroo | anyone here have any luck with screencasting in Ubuntu ? | 11:57 |
| Salmon | your using twin view right? | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | yes | 11:57 |
| Salmon | that isnt stored in the xorg settings | 11:57 |
| iflema | perlmonkey manually??? xorg.conf editing is manually. i just wanna know.... what happens when you in a terminal type gksu nviddia-settings.. ok do you see two little screens? | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | ah | 11:57 |
| Salmon | you have to load your nvidia settings with nvidia-settings -l | 11:57 |
| perlmonkey | when I say "manually" i mean starting X in non-twinview mode, starting nvidia-settings utility and configuring to twinview WITHOUT saving config/restarting X | 11:58 |
| GG19 | anyone know how to see whats on your virtual c: drive without going through wine? | 11:58 |
| perlmonkey | that works perfectly | 11:58 |
| jami | GG19: look in the config winecfg | 11:59 |
| perlmonkey | if I save the config, Twinview works when I restart X, but both screens are treated as SEPARATE screens | 11:59 |
| arand | GG19: it's all in ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 11:59 |

| GG19 | yeah but I cant right click and delete or move to trash anything. | 12:00 |
| perlmonkey | Salmon where should that command go? | 12:00 |
| Salmon | perlmonkey, just try running it from the terminal after you have logged in | 12:00 |
| GG19 | like wine, programs, dvdfab, "file i want to delete" | 12:00 |
| perlmonkey | ok good idea | 12:01 |

| GG19 | found it i had to go into windows and all users and programs then the folder then delete the file | 12:07 |
| adversarian | Well. This has gotten pretty long and complicated: After installing Ubuntu 9.10 fine, it didn't boot the next day. Nothing I've done has made it work. I even reformatted the HDD and it still doesn't work. I tried the alternative liveCD, and that doesn't work. I checked the RAM - it's fine. I reinstalled windows, and that works fine. Does anyone have any idea of what I could do to at least find out what the problem is? | 12:10 |
| jami | adversarian: does the bootloader show up | 12:12 |
| kinja-sheep | adversarian: Care to explain what happen when you said you tried alternative liveCD? I would guess it can't see the monitor for some reason. | 12:13 |
| GG19 | wait so I deleted the file from my virtual C: drive yet it still remains in my wine , programs, and in the folder | 12:13 |
| adversarian | jami: Well, Ubuntu is no longer installed, but when it was it got to GRUB fine. It would freeze if I picked recovery mode or normal ubuntu, after making minor progress. Recovery mode stopped once it hit "stop skipping firewall: ufw (not enabled)". The LIveCD loads fine, but it freezes if I choose to try ubuntu or install it. | 12:13 |
| fredrik__ | jussi01, you missunderstood. The problem isn't to share Internet. The problem is to make my devices see my laptops wireless connection... they don't | 12:13 |
| beeryourself | can i ask for help about curl? | 12:13 |
| adversarian | jami: Recovery mode from the CD stops after some crypto check, I can't remember the exact text | 12:14 |
| kinja-sheep | adversarian: What hardware? | 12:14 |
| adversarian | kinja-sheep: Well, it starts off fine (when I hit install). I get to the menu and everything works, and then once it hits the second pc hardware check it stops working - it just freezes on a blue screen with a black bar at the bottom | 12:14 |

Audio works in rhythmbox and totem, but nothing in youtube or wine programs or anything. Does anyone have any ideas? Please let me know what info you need. (can I get OSS support here?) | 14:11 |
| swiftarrow | rayve, not that I can really help, but what is your sound architecture? | 14:12 |
| CAPcap | they all appear to be using OpenGL but when i did a check on it a and gave it to someone who asked for it he said it all checked out. all the programs just shut right after launching. if run from the terminal i get a Sementation fault. help? | 14:12 |
| rayve | ah, if I understand correctly - sound card is Creative Labs SB Audigy, using OSS for sound output | 14:13 |
| ChogyDan | rayve: so you decided against pulseaudio? | 14:14 |
| rayve | I didn't have any luck with pulseaudio either, so I decided to try OSS, though not finding much luck there either | 14:14 |
| OerHeks | rayve ubuntu 32 or 64 bit ? | 14:15 |
| rayve | OerHeks: running 9.04 AMD 32 bit (but I recently looked again and think I might actually have an AMD64, so that would mean I would be 64 bit, yes?) | 14:15 |
| ChogyDan | rayve: have you tried 9.10? That would be were fixes for sound would go... | 14:16 |
| fredrik_ | How can i turn my laptop into a access point so other comp. can use my 3G Internet connection? | 14:16 |
| rayve | ChogyDan: haven't yet, it's on my to-do list this weekend. I've only over updated the kernel version slightly, i.e. 2.15 to 2.17 and such - is it any different doing a full upgrade to 9.10? | 14:17 |
| OerHeks | rayve no, you run 32 bit OS @ amd 64, that's oke . did you install adobe flash plugin or do you use the standard plugin ? | 14:17 |
| rayve | OerHeks: I have the flashplugin-installer | 14:18 |
| ChogyDan | rayve: here is a command I use as a sanity check: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras sun-java6-plugin && sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun && sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash swfdec-mozilla | 14:18 |
| OerHeks | good check ChogyDan | 14:19 |
| navin | I just faced a problem, while browsing | 14:19 |
| navin | the firefox window just faded to black | 14:19 |
| rayve | ChogyDan: those look familiar :) running that now, installing 6 packages it says | 14:20 |
| navin | and I was not able to select anything | 14:20 |
| lolsac | hello | 14:20 |

| CAPcap | I'm having some issues with blender and some other graphic programs. they all appear to be using OpenGL but when i did a check on it a and gave it to someone who asked for it he said it all checked out. all the programs just shut right after launching. if run from the terminal i get a Sementation fault. help? | 14:20 |
| lolsac | without MLK's sacrifices, african americans like me would have today been barred from the internet | 14:20 |
| alteregoa | ok what i did | 14:21 |
| rayve | navin: did it fade all the way to black, or just grey? I think windows fade to grey when the system thinks they aren't responding (that's my guess at any rate) | 14:21 |
| alteregoa | i cannot compile the graphics driver | 14:21 |
| OerHeks | CAPcap maye turn-off visual effects solves your problem | 14:21 |
| lolsac | alteregoa: i can help you, but i am black just so you know | 14:22 |
| erUSUL | alteregoa: to comoile the driver you need « sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential » | 14:22 |
| fredrik_ | How can i turn my laptop into a access point so other comp. can use my 3G Internet connection? | 14:22 |
| alteregoa | i downloaded the x86_64 files of http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc4/, and tried to compile it with the NVIDIA-190.xxxy.run driver, but i got a error about the kernel sources | 14:22 |
| lolsac | erUSUL: WRONG. | 14:22 |
| m3onh0x84 | alteregoa, why don't use apt or aptitude , add/ remove ? | 14:22 |
| navin | rayve: it faded to grey, but I was able to toggle to other windows | 14:22 |
| CAPcap | it was off oerheks so i thought that might be the problem. i turned them on, hasnt made a bit of difference | 14:22 |
| alteregoa | m3onhox84* because this stuff is no in the repository | 14:22 |

| swiftarrow | navin that means that the program is taking time to load. try letting it see? | 14:25 |
| rayve | ChogyDan: installs completed, still no sound in browser (and I would assume Wine) | 14:26 |
| CAPcap | I'm having some issues with blender and some other graphic programs. they all appear to be using OpenGL but when i did a check on it a and gave it to someone who asked for it he said it all checked out. all the programs just shut right after launching. if run from the terminal i get a Sementation fault. help? Note: I believe its also affecting a game but i dont know how to run the game from the terminal in order to check | 14:26 |
| kinja-sheep | hl_99: Do you use ~/Public ? If you're using your Desktop, you could "cd ; sudo ln -s /var/www/ Public" and just drag the files that you want to serve in ~/Public. | 14:26 |
| ChogyDan | rayve: o well. I think trying the later release is your best bet | 14:27 |
| rayve | ChogyDan: no worries, I'll give that a shot this week. thanks for the help everyone | 14:27 |
| hl_99 | kinja-sheep, i dragged a file already into /var/www but it doesnt appear on the webserver , only the "It works!" site appears | 14:27 |
| kinja-sheep | hl_99: What file? | 14:28 |

However I don't know what I'll need to get the startup sound on my system. Currently I have no sound relate things on my system. And I'm hoping to stay completely free using no propriotory things. Could someone help me out here? | 14:30 |

| mikeyfbi2 | hey i got a fresh install of ubuntu on my laptop with external monitor ... but resolution is cant go higher than 1024x768 mirrored screens | 14:30 |
| CAPcap | swiftarrow, ive thought about that, but i dont kno how to reintall in because i dont know what it is im looking for in synaptic and i dont know the command for the terminal | 14:30 |
| ChogyDan | NightEyes: why not use gnewsense? | 14:30 |
| hl_99 | kinja-sheep, that is working thank you | 14:30 |
| mikeyfbi2 | previous installs of ubuntu i had mirrored screens at 1200x800 | 14:30 |
| NightEyes | ChogyDan: what is that? | 14:30 |
| fredrik_ | swiftarrow, Thanks for the tip... I will look into that.. :-) | 14:30 |
| hl_99 | kinja-sheep, but i wolud like a directory of all the files in /var/www on my webserver, any idea? | 14:31 |
| rek | LjL audio? | 14:31 |
| ChogyDan | NightEyes: it is Ubuntu without anything proprietary, no matter what the consequences | 14:31 |
| swiftarrow | CAPcap, I dont either :( But the terminal command will look something like $apt-get install opengl... | 14:31 |
| LjL | rek: it just downloads the flv file. then i suppose you can use ffmpeg or vlc or something to extract only the audio from it and discard the video, if you need that. | 14:31 |
| kinja-sheep | hl_99: I would imagine you need to configure your webserver. | 14:31 |
| screen-x | Hi, I'm using 8.04LTS and my GVFS mounts from nautlius are not showing up in ~/.gvgfs any ideas what's up? | 14:32 |
| rek | what the package of ffmpg? | 14:32 |
| CAPcap | OK I need someone to tell me how to re-install OpenGl from the terminal. | 14:32 |
| NightEyes | ChogyDan: Okay what about the Ubuntu extra features that ship with Ubuntu? will it strip those out to | 14:32 |
| alteregoa | so is there a way to install the gfx driver? | 14:33 |
| kinja-sheep | NightEyes: It won't. It'd just install dependencies for the said package. | 14:33 |
| ChogyDan | NightEyes: no, but maybe debian is your thing if you dont want the Ubuntu extras. | 14:33 |
| hl_99 | kinja-sheep, isnt there any standard thing to get a directory on a webserver? | 14:33 |
| swiftarrow | CAPcap, somewhere here: www.lmgtfy.com/?q=install+opengl+from+terminal | 14:34 |
| kinja-sheep | hl_99: What do you use for server? | 14:34 |

| swiftarrow | hl_99, if you need the server for local use only, then try xampp | 14:35 |

| NightEyes | I know Ubuntu is based off of Debian but never got a chance to play with it. I'm pretty much looking for a very plain install of Gnome without OOo or anything else. Does Debian ship like that? | 14:35 |
| LjL | erujolc: unetbootin is one | 14:36 |
| kinja-sheep | hl_99: http://tinyurl.com/ye826tz | 14:36 |
| llutz | swiftarrow: don#t recommend that here please. there are native lampp packages for *buntu and they should be used | 14:36 |
| swiftarrow | hl_99, it's pretty easy... but make sure you UNinstall the synaptic packages for apache, mysql, phpmyadmin, proftp, etc | 14:36 |
| erujolc | LjL: it is not command line tool AFAIK | 14:36 |

| yucatan | hello guys i have a ibm laptop with a radeon 3450 when i installed ubuntu it asks for installing the new driver but when i install it my system wont boot up anymore. how is this possible? | 14:37 |
| swiftarrow | llutz, the problem with the native lampp packages is that they turn your computer into a server, whereas many web devels only want a contained server that doesnt invade their entire system. | 14:37 |

| swiftarrow | hl_99, anyway, what I've done is create a folder "server" in my home directory, then symbolically linked it into the webserver's root directory. Now i just go to "localhost/server/" and I can access all of files in server. This way I dont have to deal with permissions at all. | 14:39 |

| Pici | mikeyfbi2: xorg.conf is no longer required for xorg to run, it uses hal to autodetect attached devides. | 14:57 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, does nothing, im using intel | 14:57 |
| jiohdi | apfelsaft: you can use wubi.exe and install ubuntu within windows | 14:57 |
| popey | apfelsaft: the people who maintain the site hang out in #ubuntu-uk | 14:58 |
| mikeyfbi2 | Pici, i need to edit my resolution, and system-pref-display doesn't show the proper one | 14:58 |
| jiohdi | apfelsaft: the only problem I have found with that is that some updates may cause it to crash and require reinstalling | 14:58 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does nothing | 14:58 |
| jiohdi | but the windows remains fine | 14:58 |
| Pici | mikeyfbi2: Then create the file manually and add the corrisponding sections. | 14:58 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, ok hold on | 14:58 |
| swiftarrow | CAPcap, I think no one has a clue... | 14:59 |
| trevor_ | can anyone help me install firefox 3.6 beta...im getting errors when i follow instructions online | 14:59 |
| kinja-sheep | trevor_: Ask away. Explain. Etc etc. | 14:59 |
| swiftarrow | CAPcap, in your position, I'd have re-installed the system. | 14:59 |
| apfelsaft | jiodhi: im not too interested in wubi.. im going to try and set up one of those beautiful 15 second boots ;) | 14:59 |
| coz_ | trevor_, do you have link for that | 14:59 |

| jiohdi | apfelsaft: why not just side by side without killing the windows? | 15:00 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, k thx | 15:00 |
| apfelsaft | i've actually been told in more than one shop that even that will void the warranty | 15:00 |
| mattpmc | hey, I'm a totaly jackass, can someone help with the Nickserv register with the Empathy client? | 15:00 |
| screen-x | If I add myself to a group, it doesn't seem to take effect till I logout and login again, is there any way to cause it take effect without that? I have lots of stuff open.. | 15:00 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, you already checked if one exists in /etc ? | 15:00 |
| === Sameer is now known as SameerJubeh | ||
| jiohdi | apfelsaft: is the warrenty from microsoft? | 15:00 |
| mattpmc | or should i just use something the hell else? | 15:00 |
| CAPcap | I'm having some issues with blender and some other graphic programs. they all appear to be using OpenGL but when i did a check on it a and gave it to someone who asked for it he said it all checked out. all the programs just shut right after launching. if run from the terminal i get a Sementation fault. help? Note: I believe its also affecting a game but i dont know how to run the game from the terminal in order to check. | 15:01 |

| CAPcap | Programs with problems: Blender (fullscreen and windowed), Wings3D polygon mesh modeller, Structure Synth, the game I'm not sure is related but its FlightGear. I think it might be a problem with OpenGl as all my problems seem to be with 3D things. Help? | 15:01 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory | 15:01 |
| jiohdi | apfelsaft: you have a restore windows cd or you can make one, how could they tell what you did if you restore to factory? | 15:01 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, mmm | 15:01 |
| rek | hi how can i increase the quality of a mp3 using ffmpg (flv to mp3) | 15:02 |
| apfelsaft | well if the laptop breaks then I can't restore it to factory to get my repairs, can I? | 15:02 |
| jiohdi | apfelsaft: if the entire system crashes a very powerful magnet will hide the change too ;) | 15:02 |

| unclejon | I've got a question inre: Evolution | 15:02 |

| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, ima try this http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html | 15:03 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, ok but if this is ubuntu karmic the service gdm stop wont work | 15:03 |
| sipior | CAPcap: we would need a great deal more information to take a stab at your problem, starting with the graphics card you're running with, and the set of drivers you are using. | 15:03 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, it has reverted to /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 15:03 |
| apfelsaft | i guess I'll just feel a lot more comfortable making a purchase if the manufacturer or retailer are totally comfortable with what I'm going to use the machine for. | 15:04 |
| apfelsaft | I've had trouble with warranties before - a lot of the electronics shops in the UK are run by the same company, and have awful customer service. | 15:04 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, thx | 15:04 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, no problem ...let me know if this works :) | 15:04 |
| unclejon | anyone here? | 15:05 |
| reactor | unclejon, eh? | 15:05 |
| CAPcap | sipior graphics card is a ATI mobility Radeon 9000 i believe, drivers im not sure | 15:05 |
| unclejon | I'm trying to configure it for my email and I'm getting smtp server errors for windows live. | 15:06 |
| unclejon | (Evolution, that is) | 15:06 |
| reactor | unclejon, the problem is prolly not in Evolution | 15:06 |
| unclejon | oh? | 15:06 |
| reactor | yh | 15:06 |
| reactor | I think | 15:06 |
| unclejon | what would the error be, do you think? | 15:06 |
| reactor | hmm | 15:06 |
| reactor | well, what kind of error do u have? | 15:07 |
| unclejon | SMTP connection error | 15:07 |
| reactor | aha | 15:07 |
| reactor | try to change smtp settings | 15:07 |
| unclejon | mm | 15:07 |
| CAPcap | in the server ling unclejon you need smtp.live.com:587 | 15:08 |
| unclejon | aaaah | 15:08 |
| CAPcap | check the authentication box | 15:08 |
| unclejon | that'll solve it. | 15:08 |
| unclejon | I forgot the port | 15:08 |
| CAPcap | you need TLS connection | 15:08 |
| CAPcap | and a login type authentication | 15:09 |
| unclejon | awesome | 15:09 |
| unclejon | thanks CAPcap | 15:09 |
| unclejon | you're a life saver. | 15:09 |

| gbear14275 | I've heard this error springs from a permissions problem with libvirt... but I'm unsure on how to resolve it. Does anyone understand whats going on in this error message? http://paste.ubuntu.com/358528/ | 15:10 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, worked like a charm, but it was service gdm stop/start | 15:11 |

| vargadanis | hi, I am looking for a software for linux that is somewhat feature rich and usable as METASTOCK... | 15:11 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, o0 mm I know my system has reverted to /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 15:11 |
| Pici | vargadanis: What does METASTOCK do? | 15:12 |
| jimpop_ | quit | 15:12 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, I assume you already did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 15:12 |
| vargadanis | Pici, it's a trading and technical analysis tool | 15:12 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, fresh install 9.1 | 15:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | gbear14275, /dev/kvm is causing the problem -- are you sure your CPU has Virtualization support (you can use "lscpu" to verify, if you are using Karmic) | 15:12 |
| CAPcap | sipior X.Org X server -- ATI Radeon display driver | 15:13 |
| gbear14275 | ZykoticK9: positive I have virtualization support | 15:13 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, ok so it might a good idea to run sudo apt-get update the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade just in case :) | 15:13 |
| coz_ | if you havent | 15:13 |
| gbear14275 | ZykoticK9: I upgraded my version of libvirt and virt-manager and ran into these problems... had working VM's before this | 15:13 |
| sipior | CAPcap: was the machine working previously? | 15:13 |
| mikeyfbi2 | hmm i thought dist-upgrade was just to upgrade entire distro coz_ | 15:14 |
| Myrtti | mikeyfbi2: it's not | 15:14 |
| jiohdi | mikeyfbi2: it should be apt-get upgrade | 15:14 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, no it is to update to current stuff for the version you have | 15:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | gbear14275, sorry I haven't actually using KVM in a LONG time -- does /dev/kvm even exist on your machine, what are it's permissions? | 15:14 |
| mikeyfbi2 | coz_, you mentioned nvideo-something ... is there a similar command for intel? | 15:14 |
| Pici | vargadanis: perhaps qtstalker | 15:14 |
| Myrtti | mikeyfbi2: for upgrading the whole distro ubuntu has a totally different command | 15:14 |
| mikeyfbi2 | Myrtti, cool, thx jiohdi | 15:15 |
| coz_ | mikeyfbi2, no not that I am aware of | 15:15 |
| vargadanis | ok i'll check it, Pici | 15:15 |
| === kruzenbek is now known as Guest88577 | ||
| jiohdi | mikeyfbi2: you can do them both on one line, I believe as apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 15:15 |

| mikeyfbi2 | whats command to restart x? | 15:16 |
| arvind_khadri | mikeyfbi2, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 15:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | gbear14275, who owns / what group -- what i'm getting too, are you a member of the group that owns /dev/kvm? | 15:17 |

| epinky | saganbyte: 32 bits ubuntu? | 15:20 |
| screen-x | !PAE | 15:20 |
| saganbyte | epinky, yes | 15:20 |
| sefram | has someone here got the fglrx driver working in karmic? | 15:20 |
| epinky | saganbyte: you have to use kernel PAE version | 15:21 |
| Ose | okay, so i've installed LAMP and gotten to the "It works!" page? now, what to do from there? where is said page source (html file) located? | 15:21 |
| Threetimes | sefram: I have it working | 15:21 |
| bullgard | epinky: Yes I did this also. | 15:21 |
| saganbyte | epinky, i m sorry but I havent understood what u ve said.. do i have to download and install some other version of Ubuntu 9.10? | 15:21 |
| Pici | Ose: /var/www/ | 15:21 |

| llutz | Ose: /var/www http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ | 15:21 |

| Wazzzaaa | How Can I enable/disable my 2nd monitor without restarting X? | 15:22 |
| au | Ose: remove /var/www/index.html and put your documents in /var/www | 15:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | saganbyte, PAE is a kernel version that lets 32bit systems address more memory (if you use 64bit Ubuntu this is not required) - best of luck man. | 15:22 |
| au | er | 15:22 |
| au | Ose: webpages I mean | 15:22 |
| sefram | Threetimes: i did activate the ones from karmic, compiled 9.12 from ati and installed but am sitting there with a black screen... | 15:22 |
| Ose | okay, so /var/www is the index location? | 15:22 |
| epinky | nope, you have to use that version linux-kernel-PAE-2.31.25 or something like that, check with "uname -a" wichi kernel you're using | 15:22 |
| screen-x | eodchop: unless you use PAE.. | 15:22 |
| saganbyte | ZykoticK9, ok so i have to upgrade th kernel? | 15:22 |
| au | by default | 15:23 |
| au | yes | 15:23 |
| * Ose has only used windows for web stuff before | 15:23 | |
| epinky | saganbyte: nope, you have to use that version linux-kernel-PAE-2.31.25 or something like that, check with "uname -a" wichi kernel you're using | 15:23 |
| Ose | thanks | 15:23 |
| saganbyte | epinky, okay | 15:23 |
| au | haha, yes, I know that feeling | 15:23 |
| mikeyfbi2 | is there anyway you can turn off a laptop monitor and just show external, so you can bump up the resolution on the external? | 15:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | saganbyte, it's not actually "upgrade" it's change to a slightly different version (i've never used PAE, I use 64bit - so hopefully someone else can guide you in the right direction) | 15:23 |
| pams | hi | 15:23 |
| LasBuntu | I need a way to have a PC email it's skyhook location data | 15:24 |
| saganbyte | ZykoticK9, okay , thanks anyway :) | 15:24 |
| saganbyte | epinky, its showing this version: 2.6.31-17-generic | 15:24 |
| saganbyte | epinky, it doesnt mention PAE | 15:24 |
| saganbyte | epinky, is there something i can do to make this PAE? | 15:24 |
| epinky | saganbyte: that's why you only have 3Gig | 15:25 |
| Threetimes | sefram: what card do you have? Can you log into the recovery console? | 15:25 |
| saganbyte | epinky, okay... so should i specifically look for an Ubuntu download that has PAE? | 15:25 |
| gbear14275 | saganbyte: how old is your computer? | 15:26 |
| LasBuntu | anyone here worked with Skyhook at all? | 15:26 |
| saganbyte | gbear14275, its a brand new Acer laptop | 15:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | saganbyte, PAE is only included with server (which you DON'T want), you have to add it to regular Ubuntu | 15:26 |
| gbear14275 | saganbyte: install 64bit ubuntu | 15:26 |
| saganbyte | gbear14275, had windows 7 on it... wiped it out | 15:26 |

| nefast | I have made a huge mistake that I still haven't been able to solve. | 15:28 |
| llutz | ZykoticK9: "with server (which you DON'T want)" <- what don't you want, the server-kernel or server-installation? | 15:28 |
| saganbyte | ZykoticK9, gbear14275, epinky, screen-x, thanks all :) | 15:28 |
| epinky | saganbyte: np | 15:28 |
| nefast | For some reason I removed libwnck22, as I thought that'd deinstall an app I recently installed. | 15:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | llutz, for a desktop install - server is NOT the way to go PERIOD. I see people installing server then installing Gnome and I shake my head... | 15:29 |
| sefram | Threetimes: i only can log in when i dont use fglrx | 15:29 |
| nefast | But now the gnome panels are disabled. | 15:29 |
| nefast | And so are the network configuration and the rest of that stuff. | 15:29 |
| Threetimes | Hold shift (or press escape) while booting. Then select root promt with networking | 15:30 |
| llutz | ZykoticK9: let me rephrase it: you meant ubuntu-server installation on desktop, not installing linux-image-server as a package. so ACK | 15:30 |
| Threetimes | sefram: Hold shift (or press escape) while booting. Then select root promt with networking | 15:30 |
| Wazzzaaa | How Can I enable/disable my 2nd monitor without restarting X? (I have nvidia) | 15:30 |
| sefram | yes im on the box right now | 15:30 |
| llutz | Wazzzaaa: nvidia-settings | 15:30 |
| epinky | !resetpanel | nefast | 15:30 |
| ubottu | nefast: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 15:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | llutz, i was referring to "Ubuntu Server Install" not kernel - but I don't know why you'd want the kernel either (but it's not "as-bad" an idea) | 15:31 |
| llutz | ZykoticK9: linux-image-server = pae (just found out, it was rename to generic-pae in karmic) | 15:31 |
| MasterofPuppets | Hey guys, is it possible to remove kernel entries from the bootloader without having to create a script to do it? (using Karmic) | 15:31 |
| sefram | Threetimes: any idea how i can troubleshoot that problem? | 15:31 |
| coz_ | MasterofPuppets, mmm it is but grub2 is a bit tricky hold on | 15:31 |
| Wazzzaaa | llutz: I do not get twinview on the right resolution | 15:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | llutz, that does make sense :) | 15:32 |
| Wazzzaaa | when I select "seperate X screen", it has to restart X | 15:32 |
| Threetimes | sefram: You have to log into the recovery console. you get there by holding shift or pressing escape a few times while booting. | 15:32 |
| screen-x | llutz, ZykoticK9: what's the difference between the generic kernel and the generic-pae kernel, except pae? | 15:32 |
| Threetimes | sefram: Then you have to select root prompt with networking. | 15:32 |
| Ose | erm... it won't let me save /var/www/index.html... what's the ideal solution? I can't do everything as root user all the time... | 15:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wazzzaaa, you probably don't want "sepearte x screen" you can't drag windows between both monitors with that setting | 15:32 |
| llutz | screen-x: idk, check config | 15:32 |
| coz_ | MasterofPuppets, look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 | 15:33 |
| sefram | Threetimes: ok why would i do that? | 15:33 |
| Wazzzaaa | ZykoticK9: I can... But I don't want to restart X (cuz I don't always use the 2nd monitor) | 15:33 |
| MasterofPuppets | coz_: Thanks a lot, I'll check that out! | 15:33 |
| Threetimes | sefram: Because you have to (at least...) check your xorg.conf and/or (re)install your drivers... | 15:33 |
| GG19 | Do I have to download something to get the 3D effect in Ubuntu 9.04? | 15:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wazzzaaa, nvidia can turn twinview on and off on the fly - but starting a second X server on the second monitor will ALWAYS require an Xorg restart | 15:34 |
| sefram | Threetimes: I did that, removed drivers, reinstalled them and generated new xorg.conf with aticonfig | 15:34 |
| Threetimes | sefram: still doesn't work? | 15:34 |

| cold | whats up peeps? | 15:38 |
| sefram | Threetimes: I tried this one: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-12-x86.x86_64.run | 15:38 |
| coz_ | GG19, ah oh! you mean with compiz | 15:38 |
| Threetimes | sefram: that's the one? Still doesn't work? | 15:38 |
| kaffien | can you apt-get with make flags? | 15:38 |
| sipior | Shapeshifter: what's stopping you from putting together your own repository? | 15:38 |
| coz_ | GG19, that is the scale plugin or the shiftswitcher plugin | 15:38 |
| duckxor | Ose, chmod it to be world writeable | 15:38 |
| GG19 | coz_, sure, do I need to download it. | 15:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wazzzaaa, it should be a "no brainer" -- "sudo nvidia-settings" click on 'X Server Display Configuration' on the left side - highlight your monitor on the right, and in the 'Resolution' dropdown list - select what Resolution you want. Then click 'Save to X Configuration File' button at the bottom. | 15:38 |
| coz_ | GG19, no but you may have to install compizconfi-settings-manager | 15:38 |
| Threetimes | sefram: are you sure you have all the updates from ubuntu itself? there were some showstopper bugs... | 15:38 |
| epinky | !cube | GG19 | 15:39 |
| ubottu | GG19: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware.

| ZykoticK9 | Wazzzaaa, s/"sudo nvidia-settings"/"gksu nvidia-settings" | 15:39 |
| sefram | Threetimes: which updates? | 15:39 |

| ZykoticK9 | Wazzzaaa, it works at proper resolution in seperate X? If so, use nvidia-settings to save an xorg with that monitor working, then make a backup to you homedir - then use nvidia-settings again to get twinview setup, and save a differently named backup to your home dir --- THEN you should be able to manually steal the xorg setting from the "sepearte x" file and put them into the twinview file. | 15:44 |

| unclejon | Is using pysdm an acceptable replacement for partitions? | 16:19 |
| NotTooSmart | unclejon, dont you still need partitions? | 16:20 |
| unclejon | I do | 16:20 |
| unclejon | I mean using it to.. make the partitions | 16:20 |
| epinky | unclejon: I really love python, but I can recommend using a py-gtk app to create simple partitions, use fdisk or gparted instead | 16:21 |
| epinky | I can't* | 16:21 |
| unclejon | okay | 16:21 |
| screen-x | does gparted support lvm yet? | 16:21 |
| NotTooSmart | yea use fdisk | 16:21 |
| unclejon | fdisk -- is that what you use by prompting the terminal? | 16:21 |
| NotTooSmart | unclejon, yea run it with sudo | 16:22 |
| unclejon | ok | 16:22 |
| unclejon | what does "sudo" mean jw. | 16:22 |
| NotTooSmart | unclejon, sudo fdisk -l will show all partitions on your system | 16:22 |
| NotTooSmart | !sudo | 16:22 |
| 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) | 16:22 |

| apipkin | enabled mod_rewrite with a2enmod but i'm still getting a 404 :-/ | 16:24 |
| Bohemian | hi, can someone talk to me about setting up a partition scheme for all my HDDs? | 16:25 |
| obiwan_ | epinky: idk :( a guy told me i use a framebuffer terminal | 16:25 |
| obiwan_ | and i told him, i don't, then asked me so what do you use? and i told him idk xD | 16:25 |
| obiwan_ | sure Bohemian | 16:25 |
| obiwan_ | what exactly do you want | 16:26 |
| nefast | epinky, I think I found my problem. | 16:26 |
| nefast | Apparently gnome-panels isn't installed. | 16:26 |
| Bohemian | i have a macbook with a 500GB HDD, another 500GB HDD (5400rpm), a 160gb iPod which i use half for storage, a 160GB HDD i use to backup my /System files and ~/home (home does not include videos and that's it for now, though i may purchase a 1 or 1.5TB drive for additional storage | 16:26 |
| epinky | nefast: good, now install it :) | 16:27 |
| Bohemian | i want to have a media partition, a pictures partition definitely | 16:27 |
| tarvtarv | anyone know how to create a custom menu for the gnome panel? | 16:27 |
| unclejon | Can I pm someone to help me with this partition? :P | 16:27 |
| Bohemian | but if i create those partitions, they come outside of ~/ right? are there any downsides to that? | 16:27 |

| unclejon | okey. | 16:28 |
| pat|nG | i think i need to buy RAM for my brain....can't remember some of those things i'm reading on the documentations....grrrrr | 16:28 |
| unclejon | I just did the fdisk step | 16:28 |
| nefast | Aye, there's the rub. For within my faulty boot I can't connect to my router, since that network panel isn't showing up. | 16:28 |
| obiwan_ | Bohemian: np, you can mount the below your home dir | 16:28 |
| nefast | Is there a way to install those things via a usb drive? | 16:28 |
| obiwan_ | the choice is yours where to mount each partition | 16:28 |
| unclejon | "ls /media/windows" I'm stuck on that step | 16:28 |
| kinja-sheep | pat|nG: Your brain is RAM. What you need is a hard drive. | 16:28 |
| Bohemian | oh, i also have a 32GB flash drive and a 8GB usb stick | 16:28 |
| Bohemian | obiwan_: so, no worries if it's not in /home ? | 16:29 |
| epinky | nefast: can't you use "sudo apt-get install gnome-panel" ? | 16:29 |
| pat|nG | kinja-sheep: hahaha! mah fault! hahahaha! gotcha | 16:29 |
| obiwan_ | wow, man you've got a lot of disks haha ^_^ ! | 16:29 |
| gabless | Anybody know where I can find support to Transmission? | 16:29 |
| gabless | for* | 16:29 |
| kinja-sheep | gabless: #transmission I think. | 16:29 |
| NotTooSmart | Bohemian, make a link to the mount point in your home dir so you can do something like cd ~/mnt | 16:29 |
| gabless | kinja-sheep: Thanks! | 16:30 |
| Bohemian | NotTooSmart: okay | 16:30 |
| apfelsaft | !netbook | 16:30 |
| nefast | epinky, yes, it does all the normal shebang, but then tells me it can't download it, or something in that sense. | 16:30 |
| obiwan_ | for sure not Bohemian , you can make a partition and later set its mountpoint at /home/vids eg | 16:30 |

| BluesKaj | wlan0 is wifi eth1 is wired , nmap | 16:33 |

| _nmap | yeap | 16:33 |
| epinky | _nmap: metric issue | 16:33 |
| obiwan_ | Bohemian: but i'm unsure what do you want, look, usually you'd take 15 gigs for / , 2 for swap, and the remaining for /home, but i don't know, what do you want to do with all that disks? | 16:33 |
| nefast | Hmm. I doubt it, epinky, I'll have a look. | 16:33 |

| josharian | When I run `xfs_freeze -f /ebs`, I get "xfs_freeze: cannot freeze filesystem at /ebs: Operation not supported" | 16:39 |
| NotTooSmart | Bohemian, I would make a DD image of the partition table. | 16:39 |
| josharian | and my attempts to Google this error have turned up nothing. | 16:39 |

| luNix | well, I can wait | 16:41 |
| obiwan_ | i'd do a 15 gig for / , 2 for swap, and depending on if you have different hard drives dedicated to just pics, and another for movies, i'd take the rest of that disk for /home , and use the others for movies and pics, or save some specially for movies and pics | 16:42 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, do you have to use alsa? | 16:42 |
| Bohemian | obiwan_: yes | 16:42 |
| epinky | nefast: you have to solve that first, you can use "ifconfig" or "dhclient" with sudo and read manual pages | 16:42 |

| jeeez | moc doesn't have a library feature! any other cli music players? [apart from cmus which keeps segfaulting] | 16:45 |

| ActionParsnip | kinja-sheep: sounds like an awesome app ;) | 16:45 |
| erUSUL | _nmap: yes | 16:45 |

| thefirstdude | how come I sudo apt-get install scite is saying it dowesn't exist!!! | 16:50 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, alright, you can try using OSS which is working great for me on the same card if you want but its up to you | 16:50 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: my soundcard kinda say "do I realy exist" hehe, "and why" | 16:50 |
| thefirstdude | U have multiverse and universe and all that checked | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | _nmap: to make the change permanent you will have to use the interfaces file /etc/network/interfaces | 16:50 |
| Andorin | ActionParsnip: It already /is/ executable. As I said, double-clicking it launches the program. What I want to know is what the command would be to launch it via the command line so I can create an application launcher for it, instead of it just sitting in its directory as a file. | 16:51 |
| ActionParsnip | ejcweb: one is older than the other. you can remove thee -11 kernel if you do not use it | 16:51 |
| Bohemian | obiwan_: the videos, yes | 16:51 |
| Bohemian | picture,s no | 16:51 |

| NotTooSmart | gui7, nfs-kernel-server | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | bmatt: you may have to write a small bash script to first cd to the containing folder, then run the app if the pwd is relevant to the running of the program | 16:58 |

| LinuX2half | actionparsnip: thanks | 17:10 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: normal error I guess? | 17:10 |
| ActionParsnip | uncmar: then run: lsmod | grep usb remove then reload the modules listed, then run: sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart | 17:10 |

| LinuX2half | is it possible to update/upgrade your firmware? | 17:14 |
| Threetimes | How do these links look (i didn't recieve any)? | 17:14 |
| The_Thing | Threetimes: Essentially they cause your browser to connect to freenode via HTTP, and cause your browser to send out these CTCP version requests. | 17:15 |
| maco | Threetimes: if you get a link in a PM, do not click it. thats basically it. | 17:15 |

| trism | rethus: I'm not sure how well it will work with vim-tiny, may want to install the full vim (sudo apt-get install vim; if you're on karmic) | 17:15 |
| gbear142751 | interesting... so looks like chromium isn't comatible with those links | 17:16 |

| LinuX2half | is it possible to update/upgrade firmware..? | 17:17 |
| maco | Threetimes: are you saying you're surprised to find that things-that-arent-webpages are not http? | 17:17 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, install all these first http://pastebin.com/m665f62a | 17:17 |
| swiftarrow | Snappo, hm. you can try to google search for the deb or the particular installation method... | 17:18 |
| LinuX2half | I'm not able to burn some DVD due to my current firmware version. | 17:18 |
| maco | Andorin: it spawns connections to the server that then spam others, using your browser as the base for a bunch of spambots | 17:18 |
| Andorin | Oh, I see. | 17:18 |
| Snappo | swiftarrow: all I can seem to find on google is instructions on how to use the hardware manager | 17:18 |
| swiftarrow | Snappo, with bcm cards I usually have to do something like that, bypassing the restricted drivers. just my 2c | 17:18 |
| Threetimes | IRC doesn't use HTTP, right? Or does it? | 17:18 |
| gbear14275 | how can I tell if I have bluetooth on my laptop (I realize I should know what hardware is installed...) | 17:18 |
| maco | Threetimes: normally it uses the irc protocol | 17:18 |
| Snappo | but when I run it it just says "searching for drives" and then nothing | 17:18 |
| gbear14275 | lspci work? | 17:18 |
| swiftarrow | Snappo, try to use ndiswrapper. Its dead easy, and works most of the time | 17:18 |
| NotTooSmart | Threetimes, no, but if you click the link ;-p | 17:18 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: I'm on it, just have to type the letters, since I cant paste in gtk browser, hang on | 17:18 |
| Snappo | "dead easy" huh | 17:19 |
| maco | Threetimes: but you can make web-based irc clients (like mibbit.com) so it makes sense that this is possible | 17:19 |
| Snappo | okay | 17:19 |
| swiftarrow | Snappo, I haven't had 100% success with the restricted driver either. | 17:19 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, alrighty | 17:19 |
| Threetimes | these links exploit services like mibbit? | 17:19 |
| Pici | !ot | 17:19 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 17:19 |
| maco | Threetimes: no, they implement something similar to mibbit | 17:19 |
| * swiftarrow is tired, it's late, is going to sleep. Good luck everyone! And no, I don't know enough jscript to decifer those files! | 17:19 | |

| knxville | Kamokow: I dont reckon that problem.. Try ask the question again, when the spamming ends. | 17:28 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, they tried selling it for awhile but its free again now ;-P | 17:28 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: that scared me man :) | 17:28 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, ok, try ossinfo and see if the SB_live shows up | 17:28 |
| Kamokow | knxville: Okay, Ill wait and ask again in a bit | 17:28 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: well, "aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found.." | 17:29 |
| knxville | Kamokow: or else, use another music program. I like Exaile. | 17:29 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, yea, look @ ossinfo real quick | 17:29 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: no, forgot about the deb, right | 17:29 |

| NotTooSmart | luNix, so try this sudo modprobe oss_sblive and then try ossinfo | 17:30 |
| Kamokow | knxville: Well, I have tried other music programs, and they all seem to be affected by the same problem :-/ | 17:30 |

| luNix | show | 17:30 |

| NotTooSmart | luNix, ok, so run this command.... sudo ln -ls /dev/dsp /dev/oss/oss_sblive0/pcm0 | 17:31 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, and your card should work... | 17:33 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: what is "ln" ? | 17:33 |
| _nmap | unf | 17:33 |
| luNix | must have an - right? | 17:33 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, it creates a symbolic link, man ln | 17:33 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: well I got this "ln: invalid option -- 'l'" but its more like wrong with "-ls", right? | 17:34 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, hrm actually before you do that. what does cat /dev/oss say? | 17:34 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, err ls /dev/oss | 17:35 |
| LinuX2half1 | is it possible to update or upgrade your firmware? | 17:35 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: "cat: ls: No such file or directory" | 17:36 |

| Babar | since yesterday my wifi doesn't connect anymore. It's an ath5k card, which works fine on my "old" usb-key running karmic, but doesn't work on my desktop (which I upgraded yesterday iirc). Logs are not very helpful... Any hint where I could dig for more info? | 17:36 |

| NotTooSmart | luNix, alright try osstest | 17:37 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, yea so far | 17:38 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: hey, nice pianotune, kinda :D | 17:38 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, your done then! | 17:38 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: yeah, at last! | 17:39 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: thank you very mush | 17:39 |
| luNix | much | 17:39 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, make a link between the device and /dev/dsp | 17:39 |
| NotTooSmart | so you dont have to set each program manually for the correct device | 17:39 |
| RediXe | Trying to mount: /dev/sda3 to /media/storage where it will hopefully be mounted by my user and not root. I have give given it the options defaults,user in fstab but it seems to ignore the user option. Any idea's? | 17:39 |

| NotTooSmart | luNix, ossmix vol 100 and ossmix pcm 100 where 100 is anynumber will change your volume.... | 17:39 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, yes | 17:39 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: thats all I figured out | 17:40 |
| Buttons840 | how can i configure auto-login for some of the accounts on this computer? | 17:40 |

| NotTooSmart | luNix, alright, i gotta go clean my house any more questions :-D | 17:41 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: no, I figure that symbolic link out I guess | 17:41 |
| luNix | NotTooSmart: thanks again | 17:41 |
| NotTooSmart | luNix, i think it is ln -s | 17:41 |

| erUSUL | RediXe: user only means that a user can mount it | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | RediXe: which filesystem does the partition holds ? | 17:48 |
| AJC_Z0 | I presume you want the mount point owned by a specific user, right? | 17:48 |
| RediXe | erUSUL, It's just an empty ext3 partition | 17:49 |
| erUSUL | !addingfs | RediXe | 17:49 |
| ubottu | RediXe: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc).

| nick125 | matelot: It's better than SVN, especially for a small project. Once you have git configured (name and email), you can just do 'git init' in a directory and that directory now git-enabled. Then you can do 'git add .' to add all of the files in the directory, then a 'git commit -a' to "commit" the changes to the repo. | 18:07 |

| Jowi | n0ah_, as kinja-sheep said, see if they show with "lsusb" first. If they do not, reboot the computer and select the kernel that is second to the top (not counting "recovery/safe mode" selections) | 18:18 |

| angelo | hi there, im kind of having trouble with my ubuntu 9.10 desktop OS, the desktop freezes when i open the other partition but not in the same moment, couple a minutes later it does that, the partition is NTFS, is there an update for this? | 18:54 |

| ice_stone | but xconfg won't let me save it | 19:15 |
| Roasted | It's frustrating to have a new install and you have a simple thing like audio programs interfering. It was enough for me to drop Kubuntu and come back to Ubuntu. | 19:15 |
| jrib | gp5st: worst case scenario, I'm sure you can use the deb-src line for the repo. Does unr not have some homepage? | 19:15 |
| oCean_ | Leolo_3: don't run gui apps using sudo, use "gksudo" | 19:16 |
| daftykins | Roasted: well amarok is a more KDE app as far as i know so it might not be tweaked just right, not sure | 19:16 |
| guntbert | ice_stone: star | 19:16 |
| infid | ice_stone: no, well it'd go in the Section "Screen" as like "Option "metamodes" "CRT" or "DFP", etc. you should try finding an example xorg.conf somewhere and editing it or using a GUI tool like nvidia-settings if you have an nvidia | 19:16 |

| fanno | anyone know what he meant ? (20:54:56) Out_Cold: fanno, you possibly need to add it to the .rclocal but unfortunately my lunch break is over :p | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Rubbberducky: run: lspci | grep -i audio | 19:57 |
| saxin | ActionParsnip__: You know if it will work? | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Rubbberducky: then websearch the output | 19:57 |
| isaac_ | the config changed but i rebooted my computer and it changed resolution but won't go to 120hz! | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip__ | saxin: it will help as its native rather than via nspluginwrapper | 19:57 |
| isaac_ | why there is NO 120hz for 800x600 or 1024x768 why why? | 19:57 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: yeah, remove the package so it doesn't get installed in the future, but just install grub1 over it | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: there is if you define it in xorg.conf | 19:57 |
| chopin | folks, for whatever reason i can't use the built-in wireless tool but iwconfig and dhclient work well. is there a "better" or "best" wireless GUI available besides the one that comes with standard install (9.10)? | 19:58 |
| isaac_ | i did put in "Option "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0"" | 19:58 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ChogyDan, that's what I have done. However the GRUB2 bootloader is still being used. | 19:58 |
| isaac_ | and its still is like that in there | 19:58 |
| adam_ | hey guys simple question, i just installed a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10. how do i install kde? | 19:58 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip__, i haven't tried unsecured , don't think i will try either | 19:58 |
| Rubbberducky | ActionParsnip: What do I do with that information? | 19:58 |
| isaac_ | I want to be able to switch 1024x768 at 120hz then switch to 1600x1200 at 85 hz whenever i want to | 19:59 |
| Burn | hello, I've got problems with my ATI 5750 running the 9.12 drivers, after 5 to 10 minutes my screen turns grey | 19:59 |
| guntbert | adam_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 19:59 |
| Burn | has somebody seen the same problem? | 19:59 |
| adam_ | guntbert, will that install all of the libs etc? | 19:59 |
| ChogyDan | SealedWithAKiss: you probably arent installing grub correctly | 19:59 |
| brontos | good day all. Have you guys seen where if I mount a windows shared in nautilus usign smb://ip/share/ it works but if I mount in command line using mount -t cifs only root can write to files? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip__ | BluesKaj: well if it works unsecured, you know its the security at fault | 20:00 |
| hallowname | meh. ubuntu doesnt see my ethernet card :[ | 20:00 |
| strywgr | I think in 9.10, you can choose the enviornment before logging in. adam. | 20:00 |
| guntbert | !kde | adam_ if I read correctly - yes | 20:00 |
| ubottu | adam_ if I read correctly - yes: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . See http://kubuntu.org for more information. For more information on KDE 4, see !kde4 | 20:00 |
| SealedWithAKiss | ChogyDan, how do I go about installing GRUB? Is apt-get install grub sufficient? | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Burn: install openssh-server when it goes grey, ssh in and view the kernel logs | 20:00 |
| adam_ | guntbert, thanks! | 20:00 |
| Burn | ActionParsnip__: sometimes the whole PC crashes | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip__ | hallowname: run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the product name which you can then websearch for | 20:00 |
| guntbert | adam_: have fun :) | 20:00 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip__, the Belkin router that the USB adapter connects to is across the street in a neighbours house :) | 20:01 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, did you get my last message? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: add the right data to xorg.confand it will be used | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: my client is configured to block PMs | 20:01 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, is my data wrong? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: well if its not doing it then most likely yes | 20:02 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, my line is Option "metamodes" "1024x768_120 +0+0" | 20:02 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, then what should i do? | 20:02 |
| strider24 | hey, anyone know of a commandline bandwidth tool with real time ascii graph? | 20:02 |
| chopin | sorry for the repost ... not sure if i disconnected or what. what is the "best" wireless GUI to use? Seems the built-in package with 9.10 doesn't work for me but iwconfig / iwlist / dhclient are working manually for now. | 20:02 |
| llutz | strider24: iftop? | 20:03 |
| bullgard | Why does Ubuntu Karmic provide no packages for FreeNX? | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: do you have refresh rates defined in the monitor section? | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !info freenx | 20:03 |
| ubottu | Package freenx does not exist in karmic | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !freenx | 20:03 |
| ubottu | FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 20:03 |
| strider24 | llutz: iftop is good, thanks. | 20:04 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, I don't think so but my monitor supports 120hz at 1024x768 for sure | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip__ | bullgard: the guide shows how to add the freenx ppa | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: it could do 2000Mhz if the file is not configured right it wont do it | 20:04 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, there is no 120hz in nvidia setting so thats why i wanted to edit it in so i have 120hz in my 1024x768 | 20:05 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, so what exactly should I do? | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: then you will need to sidestep nvidia-settings | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-95357.html has a monitor section you can use | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: you can websearc round for xorg.conf examples to get the settings you want. | 20:06 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, okay i'm doing that now | 20:06 |
| isaac_ | ActionParsnip__, is it like getting right driver for the monitor than using default refresh? | 20:08 |
| pepperspray | 79724 | 20:08 |
| ActionParsnip__ | isaac_: you have the right driver, you just need to give it better settings | 20:09 |

| Yarcanox | now the docs say I need to create /usr/local/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf | 20:17 |
| ActionParsnip__ | SealedWithAKiss: those are the grub packages to remove, you could also remove it from the MBR but I amnot sure how | 20:17 |
| Yarcanox | anyway, that folder is not there. is that folder at a different place on ubuntu? | 20:17 |

| Mr_Giraffe | ActionParsnip__, a good idea, but I'm not sure if this is necessarily a compiz question | 20:21 |
| Mr_Giraffe | I'll try it though! | 20:21 |
| mkanyicy | joep, what did you do then? did you upgrade or install a new package or changed something? | 20:21 |
| isaac_ | brb reboot | 20:22 |
| joep | Mr_Giraffe, I have had a lot of trouble with it. It's a resource hog. My experience is to get rid of it as soon as possible. This goes for hartdy. I have KArmic and there compiz is not automatically installed. | 20:22 |
| idea4gud | hi all! I have dual OS with XP+Ubuntu and now my XP s messep up | 20:22 |
| Mr_Giraffe | joep, I'm actually not having any problems with it | 20:22 |
| blakkheim | idea4gud: this is normal | 20:22 |
| mkanyicy | Mr_Giraffe, how come you ask about compiz experience when you are not sure you will ask a compiz question or not? | 20:22 |
| llutz | Yarcanox: not sure, read about "check_sender_access" | 20:23 |
| guntbert | SealedWithAKiss: try and mount the boot partition within the chroot | 20:23 |
| Mr_Giraffe | mkanyicy, I'm fairly certain it's a compiz thing I'm trying to tweak, but not 100% | 20:23 |

| Mr_Giraffe | mkanyicy, see above | 20:23 |
| mkanyicy | Mr_Giraffe, first, can you do that when compiz is turned off? | 20:23 |
| joep | mkanyicy, No! I first restarted with another kernel but that was Fedora. All other ubuntu's on that disk were either not reachable or gave t he same error. | 20:23 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: I put that smtp.conf in place, also activated sasl auth in main.cf but still, everytime I try to login using a valid user it denies access and says it's a wrong password/login info | 20:24 |

| jhana | fanno, is the script a link in your runlevel, or is it the actual script file? | 20:25 |
| mkanyicy | Mr_Giraffe, yes, AWN are the ones that push windows away from them, you should as well make your sidebar push a maximized window away and not allow it to get underneath or above it | 20:25 |

| blakkheim | !info checkinstall > phong_ | 20:29 |
| phong_ | maci, i would only install on same machine | 20:29 |
| maco | phong_: alternative is to file a bug asking that the software you want be packaged for ubuntu so you can just apt-get it later | 20:29 |
| joep | mkanyicy, For your information: I did a cmp between the /sbin/init on my USB-stick and the init in the mounted partition. Actually linux makes a mess of naming disks. | 20:30 |
| taofd | is there a command i can use to delete all files matching "name" recursively? | 20:30 |
| mkanyicy | joep, use UUID | 20:30 |
| jhana | try the /etc/init.d/apache2 start and see if it errors (or try /etc/init.d/apache2 restart if apache is already up) as that is the exact line that init will attempt | 20:30 |
| mkanyicy | joep, use UUID's | 20:30 |
| maco | phong_: but if you dont have the same stuff you built it against intalled, like if you were installing the deb later after a reinstall, it could be a problem, so just be careful | 20:30 |

| maco | phong_: i'm not sure that the deb made by checkinstall will know to tell you "by the way, i depend on x, y, and z, so install those first" so i'm suggesting that you use what ubottu just told you if you do a reinstall, that way you at least know the dependencies are there | 20:33 |
| === hhlp_ is now known as hhlp | ||
| Darkedge | Guys? -_- | 20:34 |
| maco | phong_: besides, the cloning thing ubottu just told you about is all around *useful* when reinstalling :P | 20:34 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: I have both in no chroot now. also, smtpd.conf is in place and contains "plain login" settings. main.cf has the sasl activation lines | 20:34 |
| maco | and gals? | 20:34 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: So after this CAn i run Ubuntu live CD and get grub back | 20:34 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: now smtp login will take ages (= many minutes of hanging) and then abort due to timeout (thunderbird 3) | 20:34 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: absolutely | 20:34 |
| CAPcap | How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here | 20:34 |
| mkanyicy | joep, you are not answering any of my questions, so we will never understand each other, sir | 20:35 |
| taofd | ugh flash isnt working for me | 20:35 |
| wu__ | jk | 20:35 |
| taofd | all websites i go to tell me my flash is not installed, but it is :/ | 20:35 |
| joep | akaniyci My second system is an AMD PHENOM II (4-core) which I am using right now. Both are on a KVM and switching between is very simple. | 20:35 |
| thunda | taofd, how did you install flash? | 20:35 |
| dupondje | somebody ? :) | 20:35 |
| taofd | apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 20:35 |
| mkanyicy | joep, oh you are using another machine? | 20:36 |
| taofd | thunda, its being weird :/ | 20:36 |
| zagabar | I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this? | 20:36 |
| Pici | Darkedge: Are you trying to upgrade to lucid? | 20:36 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: One more thing , Recovery Disk(RD) : Just shows one main partition C drive (So running RD wil erase from other logical Partitions like D, E and ofr tht matter Ubuntu partitioin)) | 20:36 |
| joep | mkanyicy, Yes. Sorry I'm typing somewhat slowly. | 20:36 |
| Yarcanox | postfix authentication with SASL just takes ages and then times out (previously with misconfigured/not running sasl it rejected login or said it wouldn't be capable of SASL authentication) - how would I find out why it does do that? | 20:36 |
| Yarcanox | (sasl login with normal unix user accounts over pam) | 20:36 |
| joep | I have looked ad my grub menu.lst and the fstab (of the corrupted system) and I don't see any abnormals. | 20:37 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: oh are you using the vendor recovery CD? That will blow away everything | 20:37 |
| mkanyicy | joep, are there linux operating systems that you can boot on that other machine with dead ubuntu? | 20:37 |
| joep | mkanyicy, You saw my answes? | 20:37 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: it just shows 3 paritions C H(One dell provides for SYstem) and I(prob Ubuntu) | 20:37 |
| CAPcap | How do I reinstall the open drivers? i think something is corrupted in them? seriously need some help here | 20:37 |
| mkanyicy | joep, yes I saw your answers | 20:37 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: what drivers, can you be more specific | 20:38 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: Yes actually dell gave me XP CD with my laptop | 20:38 |
| taofd | how do i manually force a purge of all flash files, and force reinstallf lash? | 20:38 |
| joep | YEs. I've done that with an old fedora. That starts OK but is of course not really useable anymore. | 20:38 |
| mkanyicy | joep, what do you mean that it is not really useable anymore? | 20:38 |
| isaac_ | CAN ANYBODY READ ME yet? | 20:39 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: If it is a Microsoft CD you might be OK, if it is a Dell recovery CD it might wipe everything | 20:39 |
| mkanyicy | !caps | isaac_ | 20:39 |
| ubottu | isaac_: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 20:39 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: no idea >_< im having problems with programs trying tp use opengl i get 'segmentation fault' my graphics card is and ATI mobility radeon 9000 | 20:39 |
| thunda | taofd, you could try removing it in the synaptic package manager and then reinstalling it. | 20:39 |
| taofd | thunda, yeah tried that too... :( | 20:40 |
| llutz | Yarcanox: sry think i cannot really help you. i had to setup 2 postfix last week after being 10 yrs out of mta-business. i configured sasl trhough dovecot, that was simple. | 20:40 |
| Pici | Darkedge: If you're running Lucid or trying to upgrade to it then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1. If you're not, then you're sources.list is very messed up because those are lucid versions that I see in that error log. | 20:40 |
| isaac_ | okay, is there good site with xconf files with 1024x768 refresh rate? | 20:40 |
| isaac_ | at 120hhz | 20:40 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: everyone tells me that, but installing dovecot will most likely kill my solidpop3d off | 20:40 |
| mtb-cliff | anyone know how to list last updates applied? | 20:40 |
| thunda | taofd, apt-get remove? | 20:40 |
| meganerd | isaac_: use xrandr, the xorg.conf is not really used | 20:41 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: Its XP reinstallation Dvd. So the main partition C wil be erased . Wil it erase other logical partitions like D and E | 20:41 |
| llutz | Yarcanox: indeed | 20:41 |
| psyk | Arghhhhh! | 20:41 |
| mkanyicy | joep, what I am suspecting is a problem is that the order of your disks has changed and if menu.lst of grub or fstab does not use UUIDs then it would mount wrong partitions and you would get a kernel panic | 20:41 |
| Hilikus | whats the difference between user and users in fstab? | 20:41 |
| joep | mkanyicy, NO I mean it is so outdated and I have made so many changes that most of the programs are not of any use to me. But it runs. I can run firefox, evolution, etc. | 20:41 |
| burg | hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10 | 20:41 |
| psyk | I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware. | 20:41 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, thanks about time i find it | 20:41 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: I don't know for sure. I have seen such a variety of those restore disks that I can't say for sure | 20:41 |
| mkanyicy | joep, it's fine boot fedora, we will use terminal | 20:41 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: this is just XP reinstallation DVD | 20:42 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: you mean CD | 20:42 |
| Thunder_Drop | Does anyone know what needs to be adjusted so that vlc will prevent the screen saver from coming on? | 20:42 |
| idea4gud | yes | 20:42 |
| taofd | okay i gave up on flash, just manually downloaded the tar.gz and installed it myself :/ pff | 20:42 |
| mkanyicy | joep, after booting fedora, open terminal and then type "sudo fdisk -l" and paste everything at http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:43 |
| psyk | taofd, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:43 |
| tonsofpcs | so I was installing blender and it failed... I now have two packages (blender and python2.4-minimal) in "very bad state". On purge attempt, both throw errors "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" and "subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1". Is there a way to clean up this dpkg issue? | 20:43 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: in that case you can shoose which partition it will use, but it will overwrite the MBR, requiring you to fix grub after the install | 20:43 |
| mtb-cliff | Thunder_Drop - afaik you need to change the powermanagement preferences | 20:43 |
| joep | mkanyicy, Tat is a very sound thought. My fstab is build with UUIDs but grub not as - as far as I know - grub has his own assignation of disks using hd0 as the first physical disk, hd1 as the second, etc. It is the order in which the BIOS sees the disks, not the boot order. | 20:43 |
| idea4gud | meganerd: I am afraid about my other logical drives | 20:43 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, where do you edit xrandr? | 20:43 |
| psyk | I have a realtek high definition audio sound card, and ubuntu only wants to play through my laptops built-in speakers. I had the same problem with slackware. lspci says: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller | 20:44 |
| fanno | I have a strange problem. apache won't start when my webserver starts. there are no error in apache log or in system log .. and apache is located in the runlevel folder ... anyone have any idea what i need to look at/for ohh and if i start the server manualy it runs just fine =( really strange to me | 20:44 |
| meganerd | isaac_: xrandr is a command, there are gui front ends such as grandr | 20:44 |
| taofd | psyk, thanks i got it working though :) the install script wasn't working... it may be because i have ubuntuzilla installed though | 20:44 |
| Hilikus | how do i allow a normal user to mount a drive BUT ONLY that single user and not any user?? | 20:44 |
| meganerd | isaac_: the wiki is here: http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR | 20:44 |
| psyk | taofd, most likely. | 20:44 |
| joep | mkanyicy, also it starts numbering partition with 0 so the first partition on the first physical disk is hd0,0. | 20:44 |
| Thunder_Drop | There is no setting in the power management settings that allows full screen aplications to interupt the timer for screen saver and or other power management settings | 20:45 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: can u help me out? i told you what my problems are and what im running... ATI mobility radeon 9000. Programs that require OpenGl (i think) crash out before even really loading anything and I get 'Segmentation fault'. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 | 20:45 |
| meganerd | idea4gud: it is doable but there is potential to lose everything. This is one of the reasons I no longer dual boot | 20:45 |
| taofd | psyk, its not hard though, just gotta drop it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins :D | 20:46 |
| joep | mkanyicy, remember, Hardy has grub 1 Karmic (9.10) uses grub2. I also thought that grub is corrupted but I don't know - yet - how to solve it. | 20:46 |
| mkanyicy | joep, i know, i have 2 hard drives and their order change once in a while sda becomes sdb and sdb becomes sda and grub becomes confused | 20:46 |
| psyk | taofd, true, but the problem I'm having now is a lot deeper than that D: | 20:46 |
| burg | hello. how can i install gtkbuilder? i have ubuntu 9.10 | 20:46 |
| mtb-cliff | Thunde_Drop - You don't have a "Display" section? it applies to all power management events | 20:46 |
| psyk | taofd, the ubuntu devs never fixed the problem with intel sound chips | 20:46 |
| mkanyicy | joep, i know, i am using grub2 on karmic right now | 20:46 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: it has been since I have used old ATI gear and the 3d drivers (I have one machine that I use the 2d only drivers) | 20:46 |
| psyk | taofd, the problem has existed since 7.10... | 20:46 |
| mikeo | where do I go to modify the network connections? | 20:47 |
| mkanyicy | joep, i have little info about grub2 since it's rather new | 20:47 |
| mikeo | ... /etc/network/interfaces doesn't seem to be used | 20:47 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: under System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, do you have the ati or fglrx drivers installed? | 20:47 |
| meero | how to find out why ubuntu freezes after running rtorrent? | 20:47 |
| mkanyicy | joep, so have fedora finished to boot? | 20:47 |
| taofd | psyk, :( | 20:47 |
| mtb-cliff | Thunder_Drop - you have to move the "put display to sleep to >> Never" | 20:47 |
| meganerd | meero: strace rtorrent | 20:48 |
| Thunder_Drop | mtb-cliff: yes I do have that section but it seems strange to have to adjust the timer for when you watch a movie as say I want the display to go to sleep in 1 hour, watching a movie longer than 1 hour does not prevent it from going to sleep | 20:48 |
| sghibb | hi | 20:48 |
| CAPcap | meganerd i opened that up it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system | 20:48 |
| meero | meganerd: strace is some kind of tracking app? | 20:48 |
| mtb-cliff | Thunder_Drop - agreed, unfortunately that is what I have to do. I don't know if there is another solution. | 20:49 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: then you will need to install the fglrx drivers to get 3d (open gl) apps to work | 20:49 |
| mikeo | how come /etc/init.d/networking stop and start are not doing anything anymore? | 20:49 |
| joep | mkanyicy, How do you change the order? There is a difference with the hardware order the BIOS sees (and grub) and the order linux sees the disks. I have never understood why they changed the ide identification (with hdzx) and made it all in sdzx. I don;t know how the kernel determines the order of the disks. That may be the problem. | 20:49 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: how do i do that? Ive been asking that all day and no one will answer | 20:49 |
| meganerd | meero: debugging, you might get some useful information before it freezes | 20:49 |
| joep | mkanyicy, Yes, fedora finihed booting and I could use firefox and Evolution (which I don't use anymore. I use Thunderbird). | 20:50 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: sudo aptitude install xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-amdcccle | 20:50 |
| fakeer | Suggest me a basic/smaller image editor for one touch jobs like resize, crop, convert to b/w, paste from clipboard etc. | 20:50 |
| meero | meganerd: i was thinking about to review some logs, but not sure which, maybe is problem with ext4? | 20:50 |
| mkanyicy | joep, i am using the word 'order' informally here maybe I should rather use 'sequence' instead?? UUID has nothing to do with BIOS | 20:50 |
| meganerd | fakeer: I use gimp for that | 20:50 |
| gadget3000 | fakeer: GIMP is default installed, why not just use that? | 20:50 |
| mkanyicy | joep, can you open terminal then? | 20:51 |
| Thunder_Drop | mtb-cliff: seems there is a bug report on that very issue but no fixes have been commited yet | 20:51 |
| meganerd | meero: /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages | 20:51 |
| fakeer | meganerd: yeah. but gimp is very complex and big for that.. i need sth where i don;'t have to export after every resize.... i use gimp for heavy editing | 20:51 |
| mtb-cliff | Thunder_Drop - thz | 20:51 |
| mtb-cliff | thx | 20:51 |
| fakeer | gadget3000: ye right..but plz read above | 20:52 |
| meganerd | fakeer: export? I open an image, edit then save | 20:52 |
| joep | mkanyicy, No. I don't run fedora there anymore but Hardy started from my USb-stick. Of course I can open a terminal thgere (it is open). | 20:52 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, okay if you want to add mode 1024x768 at 120hz what would your command look like? | 20:53 |
| meganerd | isaac_: I don't usually bother with the refresh values | 20:53 |
| dnajovo | does anyone know if a hardware raid array must have identical har disks? | 20:53 |
| fuzzybunn | hey everyone for some reason .ics files are not associated with anything in Ubuntu. Does anyone know how I would get it so that evolution automatically opens ics files and adds them to my calendar? | 20:53 |
| dnajovo | i mena if a disk fails aftr years and is not on the market no more what will i do? | 20:53 |
| mkanyicy | joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu' | 20:54 |
| meganerd | dnajovo: no, but you will be limited by the size of the smallest disk | 20:54 |
| Burn | so, I tried installing ssh, but the computer crashes with the 9.12 fglrx driver | 20:54 |
| mkanyicy | joep, it's the same machine with 'deadbuntu' right? | 20:54 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, 60hz looks like shit.. thats why, i need 120hz at 1024x768 | 20:54 |
| Burn | so I can't login remote | 20:54 |
| joep | mkanyicy, Yes. | 20:54 |
| meero | meganerd: basicly what it does, id doesnt freeze system as whole, im connecting with ssh.... after "something" , shell freezes, and when im trying to reconnect, it displays only autenticating (key file), and nothig else happens | 20:54 |
| === Dkennedy1 is now known as Dkennedy | ||
| dnajovo | but i won't have problems if i can get same capacity disks and same rpm? | 20:54 |
| guntbert | !language | isaac_ | 20:54 |
| ubottu | isaac_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 20:54 |
| mkanyicy | joep, pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l' | 20:54 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, i don't want 85, 75, or less hz... I wwant 120hz at 1024x768 | 20:54 |
| dnajovo | also do you know if i can connect a sas disk to a sata 2 controlles? | 20:54 |
| dnajovo | cntroller i meant! | 20:55 |
| fakeer | meganerd: when i resize it. then after i try to save it, it asks me to export. but either way i want a less complex solution for small edits | 20:55 |
| isaac_ | *shouts* would anybody just help me to get 120hz to work at 1024x768 :( :( | 20:55 |
| joep | I'll try that. Burt for some reason this (karmic) system refuses to accept ssh from that system. | 20:55 |
| meganerd | isaac_: I think the command is --refresh <vlue> after the --output part | 20:55 |
| joep | Of course I can work from that system. One moment.. | 20:55 |
| meganerd | isaac_: all of my displays are LCD here, so there is no point in me setting the refresh rate | 20:56 |
| Adil | hi everyone | 20:56 |
| meganerd | isaac_: in other words, I have nothing to test with | 20:56 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, i am trying to get my 3d thing to run at 120hz not 60hz | 20:56 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, the reason why i'm still on CRT | 20:56 |
| isaac_ | meganerd, and my crt still support up to 170hz | 20:57 |
| CAPcap | meganerd still nothing runs | 20:57 |
| Adil | Until recently my boot drive and DVD drive were on the same IDE cable. I upgraded my dvd drive to SATA, making the boot drive the only IDE drive I have. But ubuntu won't boot up.. I dont get to grub | 20:57 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: I checked the syslog and it disliked some config option | 20:57 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: glxinfo | 20:57 |
| Yarcanox | llutz: which means it works now :) without dovecot | 20:57 |
| Yarcanox | thanks for helping! | 20:57 |
| Adil | I am still relatively new to ubuntu... do I have to repair the loader? | 20:58 |
| rasmus_ | does anyone know how to install themes on ubuntu 9.10 | 20:58 |
| llutz | Yarcanox: it has to work without, just is easier with :) | 20:58 |
| joep | mkanyicy, I first have toi download an IRC client as that is not available in Hardy!! | 20:58 |
| mkanyicy | joep, ok | 20:58 |
| timothy | Adil, if the grub isn't start it means your pc is not booting from the disk. Have you tried to check your bios if the disk is selected as a boot device? | 20:59 |
| Adil | timothy, the drive is detected and is selected as the boot drive | 20:59 |
| frankhenry_ | hello all | 20:59 |
| oCean_ | rasmus_: you changed themes in prior versions? It's still in system > pref > appearance | 21:00 |
| Xjudder | hi | 21:00 |
| joep__ | mkanyicy: I'm now working from the "corrupted" system. I've seldom used patebin. How does it work?? | 21:00 |
| rasmus_ | yes, but new themes doesn't work | 21:00 |
| zagabar | I configured my server to forward from eth1 and wlan0 to eth0 so that I could use it as a router kinda. ICS in other words. That works great. However now another problem arose because of it. I cannot connect to my mailserver anymore with like mozilla firebird or squirrelmail. What can be the cause for this? | 21:01 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: http://pastebin.com/m11b9f932 | 21:01 |
| Adil | timothy I think you're right.. it might be the boot order. I was too tired last night and might have made a mistake. Will check when I go home. Thanks | 21:01 |
| oCean_ | rasmus_: maybe you mean gdm theme? That's the "login" theme | 21:01 |
| joep__ | mkanyicy: can you see me? | 21:01 |
| timothy | hey no prob | 21:01 |
| charlesdee | Hello | 21:01 |
| oCean_ | joep__: we can | 21:01 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, the easy way just copy everything and paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:01 |
| timothy | adil also check your master slave configuration on your ide disk | 21:02 |
| timothy | automatic settings do tend the frack things up | 21:02 |
| Adil | thanks timothy | 21:02 |
| rasmus_ | o | 21:02 |
| timothy | hope it helps! | 21:02 |
| rasmus_ | yes i do | 21:02 |
| Adil | i hope so too! | 21:02 |
| joep | Joke. Your answers are comin on this system and not on the other!! I have to switch constantly. | 21:02 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: that is way less output than I would expect. IS the module loaded? "lsmod |grep fglrx" | 21:02 |
| Adil | see you guys later | 21:02 |
| babalu | hello, in some folders, i can't do 'cat *', how can i correct that? "cat: invalid option -- 'N' Try `cat --help' for more information." | 21:02 |
| oCean_ | rasmus_: there's difference in gdm theme (login screen) and your gtk+ themes | 21:03 |
| rasmus_ | ok | 21:03 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, the fancy way is to install 'pastebinit' and then just type 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' | 21:03 |
| rasmus_ | but is it possible to change the login theme? | 21:03 |
| llutz | babalu: "cat -- *" | 21:03 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: I put in lsmod |grep fglrx but it doesnt have any output, should it have? | 21:03 |
| joep__ | mkanyicy: That's nice !! I'll try that. | 21:04 |
| meganerd | y | 21:04 |
| meganerd | CAPcap: try "sudo modprobe fglrx" | 21:04 |
| babalu | llutz: oh nice, why is it working? | 21:04 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, did you pastebin the output of that command yet? | 21:04 |

| porridj | any web designers in here able to suggest best software for designing websites ie inkscape or something | 21:11 |

| joep__ | oCean_: The URL is http://pastebin.com/m8a34707 | 21:11 |
| oCean_ | joep__: that's what we need :) | 21:12 |
| isaac_ | uh somebody would help me how to figure how to FORCE 1024x768 to 120hz on my CRT monitor? I am trying all day on it | 21:12 |
| gkahla | anyone using Banshee on 9.10? | 21:12 |
| joep__ | oCean_: OK. I'm curious what you can do with it as for me it looks rather normal. | 21:12 |
| SealedWithAKiss | I have mounted my boot partition, but don't have write access, how can I mount the partition so that I can write to it? | 21:13 |
| AJC_Z0 | isaac_: You can limit the horizontal and vertical refresh rates for your monitor in xorg.conf | 21:13 |
| CAPcap | meganerd: i typed aticonfig into the terminal and got this: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected | 21:13 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, without the URL i would have never saw that page | 21:13 |
| oCean_ | joep__: I did not catch your initial question, just saw conv with mkanyicy, just explaining the pastebin thing. | 21:13 |
| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- what are you doing with your boot partition? browsing it in a terminal? | 21:13 |
| AJC_Z0 | isaac_: Does the "Display" GUI not offer you any frequency choices? | 21:14 |
| SealedWithAKiss | gkahla, I'm browsing using the GUI now. I was using the terminal. | 21:14 |
| isaac_ | AJ_Z0, thats exactly what i'm saying | 21:14 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, are you sure it's sdc5? | 21:14 |
| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- are you wanting to edit the grub.conf file, or something more drastic? | 21:14 |
| isaac_ | AJC_Z0, do you have any answer? | 21:15 |
| joep__ | My initial question was a problem with my hardy system that apparently due to some mysterious event suddenly will not start with the regular Ubuntu system but comes in a panic after attaining /sbin/init. | 21:15 |

| mkanyicy | joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5" | 21:15 |
| SealedWithAKiss | gkahla, I'm not going to touch grub.cfg. I would explain exactly what I'm doing, however you'd need a couple of hours spare. | 21:16 |
| Lars2010 | how can I get free -b to show % instead of just absolute values? | 21:16 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, we are going at a rather very slow pace, can we buckle up a bit? | 21:16 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, then type this "mkdir ~/sdc5 && mount /dev/sdc5 ~/sdc5" and then paste the output of this command "df -h" and that of "ls -lh ~/sdc5" | 21:17 |
| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- if you can get to a terminal, just 'sudo -i' and you're on with full admin privs until you type 'exit'... | 21:17 |
| SealedWithAKiss | gkahla, is there a way to do this via the GUI? | 21:18 |
| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- all the normal warnings apply; you can set your system on FIRE using commands as the admin user / you could potentially upset the orbit of the earth / etc, etc... | 21:18 |
| Poldino | hi - i've been trying to get OpenArena working on my ubuntu 9.10 64 bit install but it is unreliable - hangs when I try and quit. what can I do to discover what the problem is? | 21:19 |

| RumblePure | Has anyone used ubuntu on Acer Aspire 7738G (a laptop)? Good or bad idea? | 21:20 |
| AJC_Z0 | isaac_: I already gave you an answer. See above | 21:20 |
| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- surely, just 'sudo nautilus' and remember to close the browser when you're done... | 21:20 |
| daftykins | CAPcap: probably safest and easiest from CD | 21:20 |
| AJC_Z0 | isaac_: Please don't confuse me with that jerk AJ_Z0 | 21:20 |

| ubottu | javatexan:: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| gkahla | SealedWithAKiss- lol, no fire, but people tend not to take it seriously when they get admin privs... :) | 21:21 |
| SealedWithAKiss | gkahla, I'm reconsidering. Would you mind me PMing you, are you busy? | 21:21 |

| OerHeks | RumblePure and if it is not listed, and you find out, it works fine, send in your experience :-) | 21:22 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, good. now type "sudo blkid | grep sdc5" and paste HERE after that type "sudo cat /media/disk/boot/grub/menu.lst" and pastebin the output | 21:23 |
| joep__ | oCean_: Can you see the link? | 21:23 |
| idea4gud | if i just boot ubuntu CD wil i ge grub | 21:23 |
| mkanyicy | joep__, 'blkid' will tell us the UUID for sdc5 | 21:23 |

| javatexan | I thought maybe a ln would work, if I knew where to put it | 21:25 |
| llutz | javatexan: most likely stuff in /usr/bin | 21:26 |
| oCean_ | alan__: don't you think the actual error message would be relevant? | 21:26 |
| SealedWithAKiss | I want to mount /dev/sda2 to /media/Boot with write access. It's the boot partition. What command would I use? | 21:26 |

| isaac_ | AJC_Z0, check this out http://paste.ubuntu.com/358699/ | 21:27 |

| mkanyicy | joep__, replace the line with "root (hd0,4)" by "uuid 7bf828ec-137b-49c3-9336-807fab416d02" | 21:29 |

| sybariten | sorry wrong | 21:39 |
| sybariten | ftp client | 21:39 |

| apipkin | i have ubuntu 9.10, i'm getting something strange when i click a button in a dialog box... the button gets focus and looks "pressed" but doesn't call the action. It only calls the action if i hit enter after giving the button focus either with tab or the mouse click | 21:56 |
| sybariten | hi, it's me, i'm back with a similar question | 21:56 |
| apipkin | is it possible i messed with a setting that controls how buttons work? | 21:56 |
| sybariten | ubuntu doesnt include anything as per default, to do scp:// or ftp:// mounts, does it? | 21:56 |
| brontosaurusrex | danyR: ok, now how to show that in the panel? | 21:57 |

| s0l1dsnak3123 | Hi there, I want to restore a bunch of my backed up apps that I installed in the default Tmobile December update of the tmobile pulse, backed up on MCR 1.7 (kernel version 2.6.27-perf, baseband version 6383). I open up titanium backup, go to backup/restore, and click on an app that has been uninstalled and needs restoring, click "app+data" and I get restoring app+data: "[not installed] <app name>". It sits and does this for a long time and nothing | 21:58 |
| s0l1dsnak3123 | seems to happen. How can I get it to work properly? | 21:58 |
| brontosaurusrex | danyR: that was it! thanks | 21:59 |

| IpSe_DiXiT | hi, i just bought a hdd and creating a "new" partition, since the all disk appears "unallocated" when creating this new partition it lets me choose the "partition table type" (in the advanced options) what am i supposed to put for ubuntu among ms-dos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc98, sun, look? thanks | 22:01 |
| unop | Nafai, evolution ?? | 22:01 |
| Ingsoc | erUSUL: Can I kill it? | 22:01 |
| erUSUL | Ingsoc: do not think so; and i dunno why it wastes cpu in your case ... | 22:02 |
| erUSUL | IpSe_DiXiT: msdos | 22:02 |
| Ingsoc | erUSUL: Yeah I am watching it right now in top, constantly at least 6% sometimes as high as 20%! | 22:02 |
| Nafai | unop: Anything more light-weight? :) | 22:02 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL: but is it normal it's asking me this? it never asked with any other hdd i formatted... | 22:03 |
| danyR | Nafai: thunderbird? it does it as well. btw, you can integrate google tasks into ubuntu desktop | 22:03 |
| erUSUL | IpSe_DiXiT: if you create a new partition table it allways ask that | 22:03 |
| Ingsoc | IpSe_DiXiT: Yes that is normal if you are creating a new partition table | 22:03 |
| Nafai | danyR: How so? | 22:03 |
| IpSe_DiXiT | erUSUL, Ingsoc: it was just weird that it never asked me anything like that b4 with any other brand new hdd i wanted to format to ext3, thatz why i was wondering, so i guess if i dont drop down the advanced menu, ubuntu will just choose the best table partition type it needs, right? | 22:06 |

| ollie | any ideas? | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | ollie: so you see no grub menu at all? or what do you see exactly? | 22:19 |
| grkblood13 | Dr_Willis, you got any experience with it? | 22:19 |

| ollie | Dr_Willis, i don't think there's any menu -- between the bios screen there's a flash between when i'd expect the grub menu and when i get the prompt, but i can't read it | 22:20 |

| brontosaurusrex | my neu gnome-look http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=80627 | 22:23 |
| Jowi | TheMozart, if you're using a Desktop CD I would suggest minimum of 6GB (root partition is likely to grow with things you add later on) | 22:23 |
| OerHeks | grkblood13 UDF 2.50 is needed to access Blue-ray and HD-DVD discs ?? | 22:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ollie: Hmm. Hard to tell what could be wriong then. its possible theres some special way you need to reinstall grub. with out any actual error messages its hard to tell. | 22:23 |
| grkblood13 | OerHeks, yes | 22:23 |
| TheMozart | so 4GB would be enough? | 22:23 |

| GG19 | !cloning | 22:55 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:55 |

| ubottu | buja: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:41 |
| blakkheim | Dishcandanty: well ubuntu isn't exactly the slimmest, fastest distro around. you should disable some unneeded services and things at startup | 23:41 |
| NotTooSmart | i copying a drive by MBR, Partition table, and Partition better than copying the whole drive ( due to space ) | 23:41 |

| ActionParsnip__ | pIsIq: any provided you have install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo | 23:43 |
| gwildor | pIsIq, did you install restricted formats | 23:43 |
| ysmn2 | every time i do an update i noticed that it says update successful. is there any way to change it to say FUCK YEAH UPDATE SUCCESSFUL | 23:43 |
| pIsIq | yes | 23:43 |
| blakkheim | ysmn2: lol | 23:43 |
| Dishcandanty | blakkheim: Probably should be more clear, the slowness, seems to be specifically with Grub, the ubuntu portion is tolerable | 23:43 |
| NotTooSmart | ysmn2, lol | 23:43 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ysmn2: you can recompile the app to change the message text | 23:43 |
| ysmn2 | seriously | 23:43 |
| meganerd | ysmn2: the joy of Open Source | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip__ | pIsIq: you need libdvdcss2 installed and then any app can read commercial DVDs | 23:44 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ysmn2: sure, just find the file with the message in, change it, then compile | 23:44 |
| pIsIq | so how do i install that? | 23:44 |
| ysmn2 | the question is where to start | 23:45 |

| === goose is now known as AFKgoose | ||
| Name141 | is it possible to use a Radeon 4670 with full 3D support so I can play my games like Half-Life2, etc? | 23:45 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ysmn2: get the source code | 23:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Name141: yes. install the fglrx driver | 23:46 |
| === aperson is now known as APERSON | ||
| Name141 | onetinsoldier: And I assume if I make the switch over to linux, I would be able to run Steam fairly well ? | 23:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Name141: Steam? i don't know | 23:46 |
| ulb | no steam | 23:46 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: sure, the ati proprietary driver supports your card | 23:46 |
| ysmn2 | ActionParsnip__, some one should make a swearing ubuntu distro | 23:47 |
| Name141 | ActionParsnip__: I thought it only had 2D support? | 23:47 |
| onetinsoldier | the original Half-Life sure as heck ran on linux though | 23:47 |
| zleap | i can confirm that saw it way back in 2002 at a lug meet at exeter uni | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: no, the full proprietary driver will give you 3D. Try running: gksudo jockey-gtk | 23:47 |
| zleap | worked great | 23:47 |
| zleap | or seemed to | 23:47 |
| ActionParsnip__ | ysmn2: make it if you want dude, it is that flexible | 23:47 |
| Name141 | ActionParsnip__: Slow down there buddy.. I'm still in XP. Would I have support in Hardy? | 23:48 |
| ysmn2 | i will try | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: if not head over to www.ati.com and download the driver there | 23:48 |
| kasper | I have just wiped my computer and installed ubuntu 9.10 on it. When it rebooted i froze somewhere in the boot sequence. Could it be because the filesystem is ext4 for which i ned grub2 but i have grub 1.97? | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: sure, hardy is still a supported release | 23:48 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: theres also this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMagazine/HowTo/InstallingSteam | 23:48 |
| zleap | if its a clean install i would have thought it would auto install the right version of grub | 23:48 |
| onetinsoldier | kasper: grub2 is 1.92~beta4 or something in Ubuntu Karmic | 23:49 |
| Name141 | ActionParsnip__: I still say hardy, besides the new bells and whistles is the best install. | 23:49 |
| Name141 | but.. that's just me | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip__ | zleap: there is no right version, you can use grub legacy or grub2 as you wish | 23:49 |
| onetinsoldier | kasper: grub2 is 1.97~beta4 or something in Ubuntu Karmic | 23:49 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: i don't mind any, they all work the same for me | 23:49 |
| kasper | onetinsoldier: Okay. So thats not the problem. Well, thanks :-) | 23:49 |

| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: i miss gutsy, he was sweeeeet | 23:51 |

| ubottu | TheMozart: Opera is an advanced, fast and free (as in beer) web browser. It is packaged for easy installation into Ubuntu. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 23:51 |
| Dr_Willis | TheMozart: the opera homepage has debs or theres ppa's for it i belive | 23:51 |

| Name141 | ActionParsnip__: I just wanna be switched when MicroSoft kills XP Security | 23:52 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Name141: yeah i had the alpha a while, wasnt bad but karmic is now installed | 23:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Name141: it's somewhat rough around the edges, but you can install it now. i did! hehe | 23:52 |
| * iflema Mans Man | 23:52 | |
| onetinsoldier | i installed it like 2 hours after the Alpha2 was released | 23:52 |
| Name141 | I liked hardy.. but I said "why should I have to run old software" | 23:53 |
| Name141 | and went back | 23:53 |
| fuzzybunny | hey everyone! For some reason whenever I go to webcal:// links or try to open .ics files they are not associated with Evolution. I have tried manually pointing to Evolution and /usr/share/applications/evolution-webcal but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone know what could be causing this? | 23:53 |

| blakkheim | Dishcandanty: switch to irssi | 23:55 |
| onetinsoldier | btw, i am running 'hal' and 'dbus' | 23:55 |
| blakkheim | Dishcandanty: or ask in #pidgin | 23:55 |
| CShadowRun | Dishcandanty: there's a plugin that does it, but i don't know it. You'd be better off asking in #pidgin | 23:55 |
| trism | Dishcandanty: there is one by default, Tools/Plugins/Joins Parts | 23:56 |
| ingerashu | can anyone tell me how to run garena in ubuntu 9.10? | 23:56 |
| Dishcandanty | thanks | 23:56 |
| Name141 | onetinsoldier: the wiki for the 'fglrx' says "Wine gaming support through fglrx is possible for old games only.[8] Accelerated desktop effects are only partly supported and lack features such as alpha blur. [9]" | 23:56 |
| Name141 | wikipedia that is | 23:57 |
| onetinsoldier | Name141: roger. you'd need VMware or something like that i imagine | 23:57 |
| Sagaci | hey, in the ubuntu installer, where it configures apt at the end, if I skip it at the installation time, how can i configure it post-installation | 23:58 |
