| Topy44 | hint to UNR users: the normal gnome "show desktop" icon switches to the launcher MUCH MUCH faster then the UNR "go home applet" | 00:00 |
| mAriachi | Shirack: sudo apt-get update | 00:00 |
| Topy44 | (so does the old version of the go home applet, no idea why the new one takes so long) | 00:00 |

| Shirack | mariachi: thanks for help. tring a re-boot | 00:14 |
| ksnp | nick125, ok, i'll try that i thought MAILTO was only for crontab, not individual files | 00:14 |

| mAriachi | m0ar: and it's good to know in which layout im typing | 00:15 |
| unop | nick125, it's the otherway around - the environment of cron is inherited by the script | 00:15 |

| deluxe_247 | its not supposed to be an azureus issue from what I understand it has to do with the jdk | 01:15 |
| kinja-sheep | deluxe_247: You might want to try #azureus -- I think Miro is similar to Vuze. Also, if this is irking you, you could use different clients. :\ | 01:15 |
| kri1987 | it happened to me once, and i ended up up reinstalling gnome-panel, but it's a common issue from my memory | 01:15 |
| Athenon | apt is keeping back bind and all things having to do with it. anybody know why? | 01:15 |
| brandon_ | Hi, I have a very irritating dilemma | 01:15 |
| deluxe_247 | "Warning: Impossible to bind to a local socket. Loading of torrents via command line parameter will fail until is fixed | 01:15 |
| unop | Athenon, aptitude why-not bind | 01:16 |
| brandon_ | There's a USB flash drive. that is now read-only. I need to make it NOT read only. any idea how I can fix this? | 01:16 |
| brandon_ | I'm in linux hoping it'll fix the scenario | 01:16 |
| Athenon | unop: Unable to find a reason to remove bind9. | 01:16 |
| kinja-sheep | kri1987: .bashrc is not the right place to place "startup" -- Every time you spawn a terminal, it'll "open" gnome-panel for no reasons. | 01:16 |
| kri1987 | which one would it be kinja-sheep? | 01:17 |
| deluxe_247 | kinja-sheep I didnt want to actually replace the client but if it comes down to it I just installed deluge to get an idea. I have miro installed but its too much for what I need. I want a bit torrent client that handles torrents not everything else as well. thats the whole point of me using azureus with its classic interface I've been using it for years | 01:17 |
| unop | kri1987, the gnome autostart thing | 01:17 |
| obiwan_ | hey all :) please look, i'd like that upon booting and getting the select user screen, my user got selected by default as happens at jaunty, so i simply type my pass, without having to select me in the list. any clue? | 01:17 |
| kri1987 | unop, which file does that refer to? | 01:17 |
| unop | Athenon, try this then, it should give you a reason. sudo aptitude install bind | 01:18 |
| GG19 | anyone know rhythembox pretty good? | 01:18 |
| Darkedge | unop: Yeah, I added "showingnomeonly" if that changes anything. | 01:18 |
| unop | Darkedge, probably your problem then | 01:18 |
| kri1987 | $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart | 01:18 |
| unop | !startup | 01:18 |
| ubottu | To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 01:18 |
| Athenon | unop: Yep, that works...thanks | 01:18 |
| kinja-sheep | deluxe_247: I use transmission because it is minimal on resources and it get the job done. No need for uTorrent's alike design. :) | 01:18 |

| xaashi | hi, anyone know how set up a daemon to start before /etc/init.d/networking | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | mac9416: usb flash would be the bottleneck - not the filesystem I imagine | 02:44 |

| mac9416 | Dr_Willis, Ah, OK. | 02:45 |
| perscitus | Is there easier method to network sharing between two computers? | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | You could even use ext2/3/4 and grub2 to make a bootable flash druive if you wanted | 02:45 |

| Out_Cold | kmin, did you check the disk integrity before installation?? | 02:53 |
| perscitus | Out_Cold.-> Nope. googled already | 02:53 |
| kmin | more than once and i downloaded it twice (once by torrent and once by http) | 02:54 |
| kmin | and i installed it just fine on a vm machine | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Out_Cold: the howtos tell you how to do specic things.. they often skip other things that you Might want to do later. :) of course teh docs are free.. so check them out | 02:54 |
| kmin | but when i try to actually install it on a real computer i get messages about one or more of the packages begin corrupt | 02:55 |
| onetinsoldier | is there a way to have compiz remember what i have open and all the windows locations, so they're all there automatically when i log back in? | 02:55 |

| Out_Cold | ThatGuyOverThere, i haven't yet.. so unless you are looking for them, i doubt it | 03:00 |
| guest | anyone ? | 03:00 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Okay. | 03:00 |
| mason | blakkheim, do you have an example of what they look like i tried looking it up on youtube no such thing came up. | 03:00 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | See, I've got Ubuntu and Windows installed already. | 03:06 |
| guest | i just installed 9.10 and all the consoles are hosed. the vidio is borked. any thoughts on how to fix my consoles ? | 03:06 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | But I decided I wanted my Ubuntu partition in ext3 so I could access those files from Windows. | 03:07 |
| usrv | ok ubuntu geniuses, I've got a challenge for you. "/dev/sdc is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" but it's not mounted or in use | 03:07 |
| guest | matelot: the found files will be substituted there and quoted | 03:07 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | So I shrunk the Ubuntu partition and was planning on doing a clean install. | 03:07 |
| Out_Cold | perscitus, no one here is going to hold your hand and walk you through one step at a time.. go read a short how-to and try for yourself | 03:07 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Then I could just transfer files from one partition to the other. | 03:07 |
| kmin | usrv: if that is the cdrom maybe it is empty :) | 03:07 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Can I do the same with my applications somehow? | 03:08 |
| usrv | kmin: I have 4 sata drives i'm trying to format, a, b, c, d | 03:08 |
| guest | usrv: cat /proc/mounts or even df | 03:08 |
| hiexpo | did you check what it is running on ? | 03:08 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: u might but i don't recommend it you are better of by installing them fresh | 03:08 |
| Out_Cold | usrv, using raid or lvms? | 03:08 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Okay. | 03:08 |
| perscitus | Out_Cold.-> dont be disrespectful and rude to asking for help | 03:08 |

| Out_Cold | !troll > perscitus | 03:09 |
| ubottu | perscitus, please see my private message | 03:09 |

| perscitus | Anyone care to help me set up network sharing between two computers? (not WAN related) | 03:09 |
| usrv | out_cold: not using raid. I don't know what lvm is. | 03:09 |
| usrv | kmin: I thought you could format w/o partitioning? | 03:10 |
| kmin | usrv: no you sould atleast create 1 partition | 03:10 |
| Out_Cold | usrv, lvm is a fancy way to resize and add disks to existing partitions... really neat idea | 03:10 |
| kmin | should* | 03:10 |
| Orias | can anyone help me with ident2? | 03:11 |
| kmin | perscitus: what is the problem | 03:11 |
| guest | kmin and usrv it is possable to write filesystems to hard disk drives, but the most common way is to create a partition and write the fs there. | 03:11 |
| kmin | usrv: lvm is the same thing as dynamic disk in windows | 03:11 |

| usrv | guest, kmin: I can't even mkfs.ext4 -F | 03:14 |
| guest | kmin: i do it all the time. | 03:14 |
| kmin | guest: i know but that would require lots of time with grub :) | 03:15 |
| kmin | it is just easier to boot from a primary one | 03:15 |

| stealyourface | ThatGuyOverThere: cant have more than 4 primary partitions or something | 03:20 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Yeah, I know. | 03:20 |
| guest | ThatGuyOverThere: so you'll need to make the fourth primary partition the holder for the extended/logical partitions, seeing that the partitioner can only handle four primaries. but booting from an extened shouldn't be a problem. | 03:20 |
| usrv | i also ejected sdc1, sdc | 03:21 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | guest: Explain how I do that... make the fourth primary partition the blah blah blah. | 03:21 |
| squelch | Would anyone be willing to mirror a myspace page for me? | 03:21 |
| usrv | guaest: I can delete/create partitions with fdisk. I just can't format | 03:21 |

| int_s | hi-is it safe to ctrl-c out of a fsck.ext3? | 03:22 |

| sdwrage | desero, I mentioned it above but ill mention it again. I am having a problem with my ubuntu VM in virtualbox having a max resolution of 800x600 | 03:22 |

| usrv | linux* | 03:22 |
| squelch | Would anyone be willing to mirror a myspace page for me? I'd be willing to pay up to $25 | 03:22 |
| guest | ThatGuyOverThere: the options is marked as "extended" what it really is, is a primary that contains other partitions. but that's confusing. | 03:22 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | guest: So what you're saying is I'm going to have to delete my existing partition before I re-install Ubuntu if I want to make the new Ubuntu partition primary, right? | 03:23 |
| guest | usrv: and scd1 is where the system lives ? | 03:24 |
| usrv | guest: this problem started yesterday. I took the drive out and did a full format overnight in windows and it worked fine | 03:24 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: sorry buddy setting up dual boot systems always need planing before hand | 03:24 |
| usrv | guest: no, sde1 | 03:24 |

| prospero977 | Anyone here familiar with squid... I've got a classroom proxy server that blocks websites, but I'd like to have it display a custom page when it hits a site that is in the bad-sites file. Right now, it generates a generic page. | 03:24 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: Would I need to set up my home partition as primary, or just the root partition? | 03:25 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: actually only the /boot one needs to be primary | 03:25 |
| orly_owl | Where can I download a deb of the latest Cheese for jaunty? | 03:25 |
| guest | ThatGuyOverThere: what i am saying is. you are only allowed 4 primary partitions, and if you want more than 4 total partitions, one of the primaries has to be and extended partition. | 03:25 |
| Johnny_425 | Whenever I try to load an .exe file, It comes up as a white screen. Please help me | 03:25 |

| F223 | how do I make my Ubuntu install things to my external hard drive by default | 03:25 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | What is /boot? | 03:25 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | That's part of the root partition I'm going to make, right? Primary partition, ext3, mount point /? | 03:26 |
| kmin | :D | 03:26 |
| usrv | guest: here's a question. this motherboard is new. would ubuntu have issues with me setting my sata controller to AHCI? | 03:26 |
| guest | ThatGuyOverThere: and as i said before, i have no issues with booting logical volumes. | 03:26 |
| squelch | Where is a good place to get web mirroring help? | 03:26 |
| squelch | I have the ability to do all of this, I don't have a hard drive. | 03:26 |
| guest | usrv: very possable. | 03:26 |
| usrv | guest: i don't get it tho because it sees the drives and lets me partition them | 03:26 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: / can be a logical partition /boot is the one that holds your kernel and needs to be a primary if you don't want to use extended grub configuration | 03:27 |
| sdwrage | Anyone know where the install logs are kept in ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| onetinsoldier | usrv: i'm running x86_64. i set mine to ahci.. works a treat | 03:27 |

| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: What the deuce. | 03:27 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: I'm going off of this guide. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installseparatehome | 03:28 |
| usrv | onetinsoldier: x86_64 on mine as well. i'm actually running ubuntu server but fdisk and mkfs all work the same :) | 03:28 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: According to this, I just set up a partition with mount point / and another one with mount point /home. | 03:28 |
| kmin | if you don't want to remove your already in place windows partitions it will pay off to looking into grub and use the logical partitions as guest mentioned | 03:28 |
| guest | usrv: let me hand you off to someone that has had some experance with this sort of issue. all my hardware is older stuff. and i really don't know what else to do there. | 03:28 |
| onetinsoldier | usrv: yeah | 03:28 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: And I was planning on making a swap partition as well. | 03:28 |
| === biker_ is now known as biker | ||
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: I see nothing in there about creating a partition /boot. | 03:29 |
| usrv | guest: ok thanks a lot. do you know someone in particular or just anybody reading along? | 03:29 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | So what am I missing here? | 03:29 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: that is true if you can afford to have those partition but that is not the only way | 03:29 |
| guest | anybody reading realy | 03:29 |
| int_s | anyone know if it is safe to abort a fsck on an ext3 currently in pass 1? | 03:29 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: Okay. Bottom line, if I want my new Ubuntu partition to be primary, I'm going to have to delete the existing Ubuntu partition first, yes? | 03:29 |
| usrv | guest: ok. thanks for the assist. | 03:29 |
| marks256 | How can i return a user's id? I want to be able to (as root) type in "getid bob" and have it return me the UID | 03:29 |
| usrv | anyone have any ideas? | 03:30 |
| guest | marks256: id | 03:30 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: yes if you want it to be primary it seems that u are running our of partitions | 03:30 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Dang. | 03:30 |
| kmin | out* | 03:30 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Alright. | 03:30 |
| marks256 | guest, that seems to give me my id... | 03:30 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | kmin: So when I set up the new partitions, what I'm asking is, only / needs to be primary, right? | 03:31 |
| squelch | anyone know where to ask good questions about HTML jobs | 03:31 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Or does /home need to be primary also? | 03:31 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | And if it doesn't need to be, is there any advantage to doing so? | 03:31 |
| guest | marks256: if it's in a script you might just test the UID [ ! 0 == $UID ] && echo not root | 03:31 |
| marks256 | guest, read the man page. thanks :) it's working now | 03:31 |
| ryanCH | i currently have a Radeon HD 4850 .. and i'm going to replace it with a Radeon HD 5870 .. think linux will notice? without installing/changing any new drivers | 03:31 |
| kmin | ThatGuyOverThere: it does not need to be but it is a good practice | 03:31 |
| actionParsnip | yo yo yo | 03:32 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Alright. | 03:32 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | But I'm still going to need a swap partition. | 03:32 |
| marks256 | guest, nah i need the actual number for display purposes | 03:32 |
| guest | marks256: welcome. | 03:32 |
| kmin | yes u do | 03:32 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Will I be able to set that up if both my / and /home partitions are primary? | 03:32 |
| squelch | IS there a way to find people who are willing to do computer jobs for money? | 03:32 |
| kmin | this is how i usually do it | 03:32 |
| Kotan | Sooooooooo | 03:32 |
| squelch | I had to ask here because no one is answering my question in any other channel | 03:32 |
| Kotan | Ubuntu NBR still isn't booting | 03:32 |
| guest | marks256: heh. that is the actual number... echo $UID | 03:32 |
| squelch | They're all like "Or does /home need to primary also?" | 03:32 |
| Mars_ | Good day everyone | 03:33 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | squelch: You are really annoying. | 03:33 |
| kmin | one primary for windows c: one primary for linux '/boot' and one extended that holds everything else swap '/home /opt' etc. | 03:33 |
| squelch | So are you, you piece of poo | 03:33 |
| Kotan | Loading /ubnkern....... Loading /ubninit........ready. | 03:33 |
| Kotan | And now nothing. | 03:33 |

| DeamonFish | Any one? | 03:33 |
| hpnguyen032001 | how install webmin | 03:34 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | squelch: Here's a good practice. Does the name of the channel say anything about mirroring your MySpace page in it? | 03:34 |
| actionParsnip_ | looks like i have to go via proxy users first | 03:34 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | squelch: Then probably nobody wants to talk about that. | 03:34 |
| LogicFan | !webmin | 03:34 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 03:34 |
| DeamonFish | What program should i use to download Torrents? | 03:34 |
| LogicFan | !ebox | 03:34 |
| ubottu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/eBox | 03:34 |
| squelch | no, you bucker, but diect me to a channel that does then | 03:34 |
| onetinsoldier | ryanCH: yes. well, it could depend. what driver are you using? do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? if so, it might have your video cards chipset as an entry in that file and X reads that when it starts up. | 03:34 |
| shadow_120 | deamonfish: i use deluge | 03:35 |
| usrv | where's das boot when you need it | 03:35 |
| onetinsoldier | ryanCH: if you don't have that file, then X just runs at some defaults using a generic driver i think | 03:35 |
| DeamonFish | Does it work good? | 03:35 |
| Mars_ | Does anyone know why when I try to install that Ubuntu wont see my partions? I have created a linux partion both using partion magic and using liveCD (sorry this is first time I am using linux of any kind) | 03:35 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | squelch: This channel is for discussion about Ubuntu. If you want to talk about something that has nothing to do with that, go somewhere else. | 03:35 |
| shadow_120 | deamonfish: i like it it works good | 03:35 |
| ryanCH | onetinsoldier, well ubuntu configured it all automatically .. so what do i need to do to install the new video card | 03:35 |
| kmin | so no one knows why i might be getting corrupt packages message while installing ubuntu? | 03:35 |
| nitor | deamonfish: deluge is on ublender.com as the best torrent client | 03:35 |
| DeamonFish | Ok, thanks for your help guys :) | 03:36 |
| mothersofinventi | I got segfault from blender in karmic. | 03:37 |

| twomashi1 | ActionParsnip__: but im not sure how to convert the ppa: link to a deb link | 03:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | Wind0pain, just as an FYI, 3d effects aren't really that great in VMs (they work, but not what i'd call "well") | 03:57 |
| twomashi1 | i odnt think jaunty understands ppa: links | 03:57 |
| ActionParsnip__ | twomashi1: not to my knowledge | 03:57 |
| Wind0pain | ActionParsnip__: i deleted the VM just a few minutes ago, can't check now | 03:57 |

| Wind0pain | ZykoticK9: ahh, i was just interested in the desktop effects; it's the main reason i wanted to have an ubuntu guest | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Wind0pain: really!? they get old real quick | 03:58 |
| Mars_ | First I resized with Pation Magic out of windows, cleared out 20 gigs for partion. then used the LiveCD and went though the install and it doesn't see the empty space, I then created the partion using the Gpart (or whatever it is called) the live CD still sees the partions after reboots, but the installer wont. | 03:58 |
| twomashi1 | ActionParsnip__: I just have a ppa: link: ppa:kevin-mehall/libwnck | 03:58 |
| twomashi1 | nothing else | 03:58 |
| microhaxo | How cpu intensive is gnome-do ? I was thinking of installing on my netbook but if it will drain cpu/battery there is no point.. | 03:58 |
| ActionParsnip__ | twomashi1: gimme a sec | 03:58 |
| Wind0pain | ActionParsnip__: it's something different. | 03:58 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, GNOME is pretty low resource-intensive. | 03:59 |
| scunizi | microhaxo: no much | 03:59 |
| microhaxo | say i remove my gnome panels and strickly use gnome-do with docky | 03:59 |
| microhaxo | would that use about the same power? | 03:59 |
| microhaxo | strictly* | 03:59 |
| ActionParsnip__ | twomashi1: https://launchpad.net/~kevin-mehall/+archive/libwnck | 04:00 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, The difference would be neglibable. | 04:00 |
| quietone | ActionParsnip__: thanks I missed that doc in my searches | 04:00 |
| microhaxo | Battery life is very important, so if its even like 10% more i dont want to do it. | 04:00 |
| twomashi1 | ActionParsnip__: thanks! | 04:00 |
| ActionParsnip__ | twomashi1: the page has a link to the key which you can paste to a text file then import | 04:00 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, We're talking like a few minutes here and there. Why don't you use XFCE if you're looking for a low-power desktop environment? | 04:01 |
| mothersofinventi | nobody knows about segfaults? | 04:01 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: you sure the installer can't see it? try the option to set up your partitions manually. then on 'gparted', look over on the far upper right. you should see a button that will let you select the device for partitioning. try it and see if you can't find it there | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | I cant stand xfce for some reason :| | 04:01 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, Enlightenment? | 04:01 |
| stevenheidel | my cups service does not start whenever my computer boots up. I have to run "/etc/init.d/cups restart" before I want to print something. | 04:01 |
| ActionParsnip__ | microhaxo: try lxde or fluxbox for an alternative light DE | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | I really like gnome :| | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | on gnome i get about 7 hours 50 min of battery life | 04:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | microhaxo, gnome-do requires compiz running! thus battery usage will not be low. | 04:01 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: but really, i'm not 100% sure what's wrong | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | Ahh | 04:01 |
| microhaxo | forget that crap then | 04:02 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, Standard GNOME with no compiz is the best you can shoot for then. | 04:02 |
| microhaxo | Yep, thats what i have now. | 04:02 |
| kevin1093 | i have been trying to install ubuntu 9.10 on my 30 gig maxtor hd for about 4 hours now, i am running off of the live cd, and i am trying to create partions so that the installer will recognize them, but i am being told that i don't have the permissions to do anything. can any one help me? | 04:02 |
| ActionParsnip__ | stevenheidel: add it to /etc/rc.local and it will be ran at the last step before the login screen shows | 04:02 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: microhaxo not true.. there is a version that doesn't.. it's only the "on screen docky thing" that requires compiz | 04:02 |
| MrUnix | microhaxo, then there you go. =) | 04:02 |
| microhaxo | lol :) | 04:02 |
| Mars_ | <onetinsoldier>:Fair its hard to explain because I am new to Linux. In Gparted there is my NTSF partion (70gig) and Linux partion (20gig). But when I do the install I get to step 4 of 7 and there are no partions in the list. | 04:03 |
| microhaxo | I was going to try and use gnomedo + docky as a full replacement of the applications menu etc. | 04:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, ok you're right about that - as i only use gnome-do for the dock I kinda forget it does do other things as well - my bad | 04:03 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: :) .. | 04:03 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: run: gksudo gparted and create the partitions there, the installer should run as root so access isn't an issue, you can sidestep the partitioning step by manually doing it before kicking off the installer if its being a PITA | 04:03 |
| kevin1093 | i am using gparted | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: you could even run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade the files in the liveCD environment whic may help (these will not transfer to the installed system) | 04:04 |
| Mars_ | Then I click forward, and I get an error saying I haven't selected a partion (which I would if there was anything in my list) | 04:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: you just have one hard drive? | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: gparted will need running with gksudo or it will only be running as a user which has no admin access | 04:04 |
| Mars_ | yup | 04:05 |
| Maz3Mike | question...i just did useradd ts3 | 04:05 |
| kevin1093 | i will also say that this is my first experience with linux | 04:05 |
| Maz3Mike | as root | 04:05 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: are you able to select the 'free space'? is there free space in gparted? the 20 gigs that you made? | 04:05 |
| Maz3Mike | This should have created the home directory right? | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: no problem, ubuntu is great for linux virgins | 04:05 |
| Maz3Mike | I did this by the CLI too | 04:06 |
| Mars_ | It was free space, but I have formated it be a linux partion. | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !addser | Maz3Mike | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !adduser | 04:06 |
| ubottu | To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 04:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: did you use Partition Magic to make the partition a linux partition? | 04:06 |
| mothersofinventi | why do someone gets segfaults? | 04:06 |
| Morell | ls -d list directories? | 04:06 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: it will by default, yes. You can use -d to specify a different home dir if you wish | 04:06 |
| Mars_ | at first, but then I used gparted to to delete it and re-partion. which I thought was the issue to start with. but it didn't work | 04:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: never mind. you'd said that you had used gparted to make it a linux partition | 04:07 |
| Mike_lifeguard | If I have "set nowrap" in ~/.nanorc, how can I do the opposite of "nano -w" -- ie open nano *with* linewrapping? | 04:08 |
| Maz3Mike | Interesting....I see it in the passwd and shadow file....but when I go to /home...I dont see it there | 04:08 |
| claudeless | any php mssql freaks around.. | 04:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: yeah, roger. i'm not sure what's wrong. i might if i were there looking at it myself | 04:08 |
| scunizi | Morell: although "man ls" says that is true. I just tried it and it doesn't show my directories | 04:08 |
| Mars_ | Ya...Well you up for a flight to Canada | 04:09 |
| Mars_ | LOL | 04:09 |
| Maz3Mike | I meant only in the passwd file | 04:09 |
| Morell | yes but not work | 04:09 |
| scunizi | right | 04:09 |
| Maz3Mike | Do I need to create the home directory? | 04:09 |
| Mars_ | which linux partion should I be using to install ubuntu | 04:09 |
| scunizi | Why doesn't ls -d show the directories in my ~ directory? | 04:09 |
| Mars_ | maybe I am using the wrong type | 04:09 |
| kevin1093 | another question: what is gksudo? | 04:09 |
| Maz3Mike | Hmm..thinking I didnt use the -d option | 04:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: hehe. nope, sorry. but, you could try using 'cfdisk'. sometimes using it to write out the partition table seems to work better. but you have to know how to get to a console in the installer and you have to use the command line | 04:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Morell, the "-d" is to show the directory name, instead of the contents of the directory | 04:10 |
| Renatus | So why do I have to type the WEP key everytime I restart my computer? | 04:10 |
| scunizi | kevin1093: it's used to start a gui app with sudo privlidges | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: you may have to create the home folder manually | 04:10 |
| kevin1093 | and how do i get it? | 04:10 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: I just tried it and it didn't work for me despite man ls saying it should | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: make sure it is owned by the user to whom it belongs | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: you have gksudo | 04:11 |
| Morell | ZykoticK9: i want lis only directories | 04:11 |
| Maz3Mike | arghhhhhhh...I thought it would create the home folder automatically | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip__ | kevin1093: gksudo is how to correctly run GUI apps with elevated priveledges | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: the gui app does (i believe) | 04:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, with the an example directory, try "ls dirname" vs "ls -l dirname" | 04:11 |
| Mars_ | do you think maybe I am using the wrong linux partion? | 04:11 |
| Maz3Mike | So let me get this straight...if you use the CLI it doesnt automatically create the home directory? | 04:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, s/"ls -l/"ls -d | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: not sure | 04:12 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: if I'm in ~ and simply do a ls -d shouldn't it show the directories in ~? | 04:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, nope | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip__ | Maz3Mike: i'd read the adduser doc to check | 04:12 |
| ActionParsnip__ | !adduser | 04:12 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: I have to explicitely name the directory? | 04:13 |
| Maz3Mike | According to the useradd command...it says it will create the homedirectory | 04:13 |
| adam[pac] | hi, i just formatted my vista ntfs partition to free up about 150gb of space "in front of" my ubuntu partition. i also have unallocated space after the ubuntu partition. now i want to move ubuntu to the beginning of the first partition and consolidate all three into a single partition without losing my data. is this possible if i use the livecd? | 04:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, for the -d to do anything yes | 04:13 |
| === lance_ is now known as Guest42821 | ||
| onetinsoldier | Mars_: i really don't know. all i can think of/recommend 'trying' is... cfdisk instead of gparted | 04:13 |
| Mars_ | Thanks for your help onetin. have a good one. | 04:14 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: no.. what I mean is if I'm in my home directory and want a listing of just the directories in home then I have to do "ls -d /home/<user> ?? as opposed to being in the home directory and simply doing ls -d ?? | 04:14 |
| tazbo | When I originally setup my UBuntu, for some reason my boot information went onto drive 2, and the main & swap partitions went onto drive 1.. now I want to remove drive 2 from my system but i'm having a hard time getting it to boot without the second drive.. any suggestions? | 04:14 |
| Renatus | How can I save the WEP key so I dont have to enter it each time I logon? | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | scunizi, i don't know a way (although i'm sure there is one) of listing just directories, but it probably doesn't have anything to do with "ls -d" | 04:15 |
| blakkheim | Renatus: you shouldn't use wep | 04:15 |
| scunizi | ZykoticK9: take a look at "man ls" .. the -d switch is for directories like you mentioned.. it's just the syntax that's probably messing with us. | 04:16 |
| Renatus | what would I use otherwise? | 04:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Renatus, WPA. WEP can be cracked in a matter of minutes. If that. | 04:16 |
| morphix | um | 04:18 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is it really quiet in here? maybe I'm on the dirty end of a split | 04:18 |
| morphix | with CUPS, when i use the web interface eg. (127.0.0.1:631) and i go to administrator it asks for user/pass | 04:18 |
| Renatus | well i cant change the encryption, but how do i make the wireless connection automatic instead of having to enter the key each time? | 04:18 |
| morphix | in docs it says "enter root and your root password" | 04:19 |
| morphix | yet root is disable by default. | 04:19 |
| morphix | my normal user account is also added to lpadmin so this should work, correct? | 04:19 |

| IdleOne | jack5463: you can't from the live cd. take a look at !usb | 04:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | jack5463, usb drive instead with persistance would do what you wanted, from CD there is no method to save (except to an external USB or HD) | 04:32 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: it'll give you other "restricted" formats as well. | 04:32 |
| AnotherNewbie219 | scunizi, any idea about troubleshootin wifi issues | 04:33 |

| scunizi | crazy2be: probably either kdenlive or LiVeS.. lives is available off getdeb.net | 04:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | jiohdi, either the screensave is set to blank screen, or power management is set to blank screen - either would have very similar outcomes | 04:40 |

| Guest24147 | anyone here used clamav to scan a windows computer? | 04:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | !repeat | Guest24147 | 04:44 |
| ubottu | Guest24147: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 04:44 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: do you also have either gnash or the flashplugin-nonfree installed? | 04:44 |
| Renatus1 | no | 04:45 |
| web1109 | so my laptop is setup to suspend after 20 minutes of inactivity. Can I further set it to transition to hibernate after 2hrs? Will it auto transition to hibernate when battery get low? (my puter eats some whiel in suspend) | 04:45 |
| Dr-Digi | ZykoticK9, happen to know the dual boot trigger so i can go read again? | 04:45 |
| Voss | renatus, go to the adobe.com and get flash from there | 04:45 |
| crazy2be | Guest24147, running it from terminal? | 04:45 |
| Guest24147 | crazy2be: yes - from the systemrescue cd | 04:45 |
| maco | web1109: few laptops have support for hybrid suspend at all (in hardware) and support for it in linux is shaky at best :-/ | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | !dualboot > Dr-Digi | 04:46 |
| ubottu | Dr-Digi, please see my private message | 04:46 |
| Renatus1 | yeah i cant because firefox just crashes | 04:46 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: might be worth checking.. open System>Admin>Synaptic Package Manager and use the search bar by entering flash.. look at all the packages that show up and you'll be able to tell if one of them or both are installed. if so uninstall | 04:46 |
| maco | web1109: if you know that your hardware supports it, i bet there are folks that'd be interested in your help with testing though | 04:46 |
| web1109 | maco: i thought hybrid was when it always writes the hiberfil file and just timed out the suspend, no? | 04:47 |
| web1109 | maco: do you mean that different hardware may or may not keep track of time while in suspend? | 04:47 |
| Renatus1 | okay, i uninstalled it | 04:47 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: which one? | 04:48 |
| maco | web1109: hmmm? im not sure what you mean. i just know that suspend2ram followed by "oops getting low" and switching to suspend2disk is hybrid and not supported by much hardware | 04:48 |
| Renatus1 | flashplugin-nonfree | 04:48 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: good.. close FF and open again.. then test | 04:48 |
| Dr-Digi | i think i just about done every single step without ever reading any of it, and then done it following the guide and still no luck damnit | 04:48 |
| maco | web1109: i know it *is* possible in linux to tell the computer to wake up after a certain amount of time (again, depending on how well your hardware is supported) and i suppose you could script it to then suspend to disk (hibernate) after that... | 04:48 |
| Renatus1 | okay, there we go | 04:49 |
| web1109 | maco: hmm exactly the scenario that worked million time across many xp machines since circa 2003... for me | 04:49 |
| maco | web1109: however there is no nice graphical way to do this | 04:49 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: Viola! | 04:49 |
| Renatus1 | so should i install it from adobe.com now? | 04:49 |
| Dr-Digi | its been a long day fixing all my clients issues and i come home to my own... i just want to go to bed | 04:49 |
| maco | web1109: on xp was it "wake up after $time and hibernate" or "wake up when you get low and hibernate"? | 04:49 |
| scunizi | Renatus1: nope.. already done.. you did that with the ubuntu-restricted-extras.. the easiest way :) | 04:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Renatus1, i know this is probably bordering on blaspheme in this channel, but you might want to checkout Google Chrome (I didn't initially like it, but have come to LOVE it - much fewer problems with FF) | 04:49 |
| Renatus1 | ah okay, i love google chrome, i have it installed, but it wont even launch | 04:50 |
| web1109 | maco: it was timed | 04:50 |
| jschall | how can i completely remove gnome and all of its default programs? | 04:50 |
| web1109 | maco: so suspend after 15 minutes of inactivity, then it would transition to hibernate after 2hrs | 04:50 |
| maco | web1109: oh ok. yeah that is supported assuming your hardware doesnt hate linux, however there's not an easy way to do it | 04:50 |
| jschall | how can i completely remove gnome and all of its default programs? i want to switch to kde entirely | 04:50 |
| IdleOne | jschall: and keep only kde? | 04:50 |
| confussedd | off topic: whats a good channel for web development? | 04:50 |
| jschall | IdleOne: yeah | 04:50 |
| pupusercb9bd8 | Hello | 04:50 |

| Guest24147 | how long would you think it would take to run clamscan on a 350 GB harddrive (Pentium 4) | 04:51 |
| web1109 | maco: so the timer way is more common? is there actually hardware that while in suspend could sense low battery and wake up to hibernate? | 04:51 |
| maco | web1109: i only know that its possible to tell it to wake up after a certain amount of time because there wasa bunch of suspend testing a while back where the test script did that | 04:51 |
| scunizi | IdleOne: beat you to it :) | 04:51 |
| IdleOne | scunizi: team work :) | 04:51 |
| maco | web1109: yes, there is hardware that could sense low battery and switch to hibernate. thats what i thought you were asking about. it's not common hardware | 04:51 |
| doofy_ | I'm trying to install on my macbook pro... I want to install over the network. I created a small partition that I could boot from, but I don't know what files need to go on the partition to start the install process | 04:51 |
| pupusercb9bd8 | I need help installin my soundcard in Ubuntu 9.10, anyone willing to help? | 04:51 |
| jschall | thanks | 04:51 |
| IdleOne | jschall: welcome | 04:52 |
| scunizi | IdleOne: now that's teamwork lol .. | 04:53 |
| web1109 | maco: thanks for clearing this up for me =] So should I just set sleep_type_battery to hiberate? | 04:53 |
| maco | web1109: i dont know how to do it, but this was the test script and it does it in there somewhere: http://people.canonical.com/~apw/suspend-resume/test-suspend | 04:53 |
| Renatus1 | so how do i find the ssid for my wireless network? | 04:54 |
| maco | web1109: so, theoretically, you could write a script that sets an alarm an then suspends and then resumes after a while then hibernates ... and use that instead of a normal call to "pm-suspend" | 04:54 |
| maco | web1109: this sounds like the sort of thing i should try ^_^ | 04:54 |
| web1109 | maco: thanks for the link, I'm glad to know there is interest towards this functionality. On this system though I wanna keep it stock & configure via gui | 04:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | Renatus1, ssid = wireless network name, you could find it on the router setup, or browse for it if it's being broadcast | 04:55 |
| web1109 | maco: yeah hibernate on inactivity works great, except now I need to choose a good time compromise, so it doesn't go to hibernate too soon, yet so I don't often wait for it to unhibernate | 04:55 |
| sdwrage | is there something similar to system-config-display for ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| razertek | Renatus1: go to your browser and type http://192.168.1.1 | 04:56 |
| Roasted | hey guys - I'm on a livecd trying to use the partitioner to extend my home directory through 80gb of unallocated data, but I can't seem to select it. Would anybody know why? | 04:56 |
| Maz3Mike | Anybody a genious with IPTABLES? | 04:57 |
| web1109 | maco: I think of running a test to see how long it would keep the charge on suspend, but I don't want to risk it just shutting off without clean shutdown... so I'm gonna have to go with hibernate it seems | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: is the unmounted? | 04:58 |
| x_or | Does anyone know how to install something (perhaps using ivman) so that when a cdrom is inserted a script is run? I need to do this from command line, so don't want it to be in a gnome file or something. | 04:58 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, yes. | 04:58 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, it started with 2 unallocated partitions. I couldnt understand why they werent grouped together. | 04:58 |
| maco | web1109: you can extrapolate... my laptop used to reach 50% after 6 hours, so i knew it was 12hr max suspend time. (it now has a 24hr suspend time, yay) | 04:58 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, I expanded through the first unallocated partition which was only 7gb. but it wont take on the 2nd one @ 80gb. | 04:59 |
| scunizi | Roasted: if they are unallocated and contingent (next to each other) how about just deleting them and creating one large one.? | 04:59 |
| web1109 | maco: ah nice tip to find out the limits. But then I'd have to remember to wake&hibernate or plug it in =] | 05:00 |
| IdleOne | scunizi: after resizing doesn't gparted auto mount the partition? | 05:00 |
| Roasted | scunizi, because I have data in my home partition.... I need the home partition to take over the rest of the drive thats unallocated. | 05:00 |
| iflema | web1109 have you a setting for what to do when battery critically low in power managment... set that and the do ya test... | 05:00 |
| scunizi | IdleOne: no. not unless you tell it to | 05:01 |
| scunizi | Roasted: ok.. perhaps deleting the empty one then try to increase the size of the other | 05:01 |
| Roasted | scunizi, the empty one is deleted. its unallocated. | 05:01 |
| mrbob | hello this will only take one min of your time and will allow me to get access to the greatest electronic music library just click and close thanks! http://0day.musicore.net/?release=2567 | 05:02 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: unallocated doesn't mean it's gone | 05:02 |
| maco | web1109: what i do with mine is that if i shut the lid while unplugged, it'll suspend but if it turns off due to low battery, it'll hibernate. i figure i'll only be shutting the lid if i'm shoving it in a backpack or leaving it alone for a while, so... | 05:02 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: delete the unallocated partition then resize your /home | 05:02 |
| scunizi | Roasted: ah.. I misunderstood.. then let's do the reverse.. format it with the same filesystem as /home.. and *then* stretch /home | 05:02 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, I did delete it. Theres no deleting. The only option I have is to create new. It's gone. | 05:02 |
| Fezzler | how do I stop pulseaudio so I can use Jack? | 05:02 |
| web1109 | iflema: as I currently understand, karmic would only go to hibernate if the sytem is not suspended. And I don't want it to just power off uncleanly when battery dies on suspend | 05:02 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: ahh ok. try what scunizi just suggested | 05:03 |
| wolter | Fezzler, [# chmod -x /usr/bin/pulseaudio] | 05:03 |
| wolter | Fezzler, then use jack | 05:03 |
| MK13 | how can i make a program that accesses the keyring have to ask for permission again after choosing "Always Allow"? | 05:03 |
| barcode | i used "ubuntu image writer" and it messed up my dads usb drive :/ | 05:03 |
| barcode | how do i turn it back to normal :( | 05:03 |
| wolter | then [# chmod +x /usr/bin/pulseaudio] to let pulseaudio run again (thats what chmod +/- x does) | 05:03 |
| web1109 | maco: your last comment creeped confusion back into my head, I thought I had it... | 05:03 |
| usser | web1109, does it die uncleanly, it was my experience that it would come back from suspend then shutdown normally | 05:03 |
| maco | barcode: messed up? all it would've done is erase what's on it and install ubuntu on it instead... | 05:03 |
| Fezzler | wolter>> huge latency with pusleaudio in jack | 05:04 |
| maco | barcode: just format it to erase ubuntu... | 05:04 |
| barcode | i burnt a image file on it | 05:04 |
| Roasted | scunizi, no dice. In fact, once I created the new EXT4 partiion, its weird. its kind of lined up differently than swap/root/home. | 05:04 |
| barcode | and it make 3 different partitions | 05:04 |
| Roasted | scunizi, is that a red flag its a different type? | 05:04 |
| Fezzler | wolter>> I have jack running | 05:04 |
| barcode | i burnt chrome os on it | 05:04 |
| maco | web1109: er, i dont use gnome. you might not have such options... | 05:04 |
| web1109 | usser: I'm afraid to test if it dies uncleanly! | 05:04 |
| wolter | Fezzler, so, whats wrong with the commands i told you to run? | 05:04 |
| iflema | web1109 go on... happens to me during storms all the time... sudden blackouts that is... | 05:04 |
| maco | web1109: but in kde, i can have a "if i shut the lid while unplugged: suspend" and "if it is on and unplugged and the battery gets really low: hibernate" | 05:04 |
| scunizi | Roasted: is /home also ext4? and by lined up differently ..how do you mean? | 05:05 |
| web1109 | maco: but what about "if it's in suspend and battery gets low" | 05:05 |
| Roasted | scunizi, I mean physically, on the left side where it says /dev/sda*, its lined up differently. | 05:05 |
| mrbob | hello this will only take one min of your time and will allow me to get access to the greatest electronic music library just click and close thanks! http://0day.musicore.net/?release=2567 I NEED 100 HITS | 05:05 |
| maco | web1109: no, no option for that. though now i'm thinking i'll try (ahem, keyword) to implement such a feature for 10.10 | 05:06 |
| Roasted | scunizi, let me try and type up in pastebin how it looks to me, 1 second bro. | 05:06 |
| barcode | i need help :/ | 05:06 |
| barcode | i tried reformating the flash drive | 05:06 |
| barcode | but i cant erase the stuff | 05:06 |
| scunizi | Roasted: you can screenshot it. and paste that. | 05:06 |
| maco | web1109: er, i mean to implement the timer based one, not the battery level one | 05:06 |
| maco | web1109: the battery level one requires hardware that supports that and thats not common | 05:06 |
| Roasted | scunizi, Im not on that computer. Im almost done typing it, 1 sec | 05:06 |
| scunizi | Roasted:k | 05:07 |
| web1109 | maco: oh you are a developer. nice, very good to see you interested in this function! | 05:07 |
| web1109 | maco: yeah timer based is sufficient | 05:07 |
| maco | web1109: oh yes i was wishing i had hardware that could do the battery based one. what you're saying sounds like the perfect way to fake it! | 05:07 |
| Roasted | scunizi, http://pastebin.com/m7cbb7484 | 05:07 |
| Roasted | scunizi, sda3 is the problematic one. I want it to merge with sda7. | 05:07 |
| Renatus1 | Why do I have to add accounts everytime I restart pidgin? | 05:08 |
| web1109 | <-- confused again, fake what? | 05:08 |
| Fezzler | wolter>> didn't work | 05:08 |
| Fezzler | wolter>> even closed jack and ardour and restarted | 05:08 |
| maco | web1109: since most hardware cant do battery-based, timer-based seems like a good way to get a similar effect for people with normal hardware | 05:09 |
| barcode | my flashdrive: http://pastebin.com/m6d3c45ff :( | 05:09 |
| maco | web1109: so you just gave me a way to get what i want :) | 05:09 |
| web1109 | maco: ok, i understand. | 05:09 |
| wolter | Fezzler, but is pulseaudio keep running? you have to [$ pkill pulseaudio] after you run the first command, but i thought you knew that | 05:09 |
| wolter | Fezzler, when you finish you do the chmod +x command | 05:09 |
| scunizi | Roasted: I see that.. I think what the issue is, is that sda3 is a primary partition and sda7 which is /home is inside an extended partition.. the 2 are mutually exclusive.. how large is sda7? | 05:10 |
| Roasted | scunizi, sda7 is 105gb | 05:10 |
| F223 | how do I install a theme into compiz? | 05:10 |
| Fezzler | missing operand | 05:11 |
| Roasted | scunizi, what happened was I had a 160gb hdd and my boss got me a 250gb hdd. Using a DD cloner at work, I just cloned them, which dumped 160's contents + partitions on the 250 as-is, leaving the 83-ishgb unallocated at the end. I assumed I could just use gparted to extend /home accordingly. | 05:11 |
| bucket529 | Using Xubuntu 9.10, I changed the resolution of one user, and now that user cannot log in - GDM keeps restarting. Other users can log in just fine. How can I change the resolution for that user back to a good setting? | 05:11 |
| scunizi | Roasted: well to make it work you're going to have to delete the sda3 partition and then create it in the Extended partition.. | 05:11 |
| web1109 | maco: well now I understand the current limitations and will look forward to future release. And currently I'll user the hibernate on inactivity, not big deal, compared to that before karmic it would hibernate =] | 05:11 |
| Roasted | scunizi, deleting sda3 isnt a problem. What do I need to do exactly? delete sda7 + sda3 and create 1 large one? | 05:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | F223, compiz doesn't really use themes. are you talking about Emerald? what theme is it? | 05:12 |
| sceo1 | in Karmic, how can I force to boot with a safe resolution? just plugged in a new LCD TV and by the time gnome/gdm starts it just says "Unsupported" on my blue screen. It works in CLI just fine. | 05:13 |
| F223 | ah, got it working :) | 05:13 |
| F223 | had to DL emerald | 05:13 |
| web1109 | maco: err I meant before karmic I had more troubles on battery. | 05:13 |
| scunizi | Roasted: no.. delete sda3. It is currently a primary partition.. with that space available you'll need to use it to create another partition in the Extended portion of the drive.. | 05:14 |
| F223 | hmmmm... I'm enabling the theme by doing "emerald --replace", do I have to keep that terminal window open all the time for the theme to stay eneabled? | 05:14 |
| F223 | enabled* | 05:15 |
| Roasted | scunizi, not entirely sure I know how to do that... Im a little lost by what you mean "create it within the extended portion of the drive" | 05:15 |
| Roasted | scunizi, do I just need to have sda2 highlighted when I create it , or what? | 05:15 |
| scunizi | Roasted: look at your pastebin.. you'll see sda1 is the widows side.. then sda2 is labeled "Extended".. inside of that is Swap, sda6 and sda7 | 05:16 |

| ZykoticK9 | rj1, re banshee-auto opening -- open Nautilus (the file manager), Edit / Preferences - Media tab -- Music Player | 05:18 |
| Roasted | scunizi, I dont understand entirely. If I create a new partition, I HAVE to create a primary one - extended is not an option. But youre saying I have to create it within sda2... but I dont understand how I force the partition Im maknig to be under sda2 when the only option I have is primary. | 05:18 |
| DVS01 | seede, how would you feel about using /dev/urandom? | 05:19 |

| James_-_ | COuld someone offer up some recommendations as to the best partitioning plan if I plan to have some type of scheduled backup to a external or network drive... What I mean is what do I want on separate partitions so that reinstatement will be much easier? | 05:19 |
| katyl | semitones: It's unstable, there is a chance that two processes could try to manipulate the same data at the same time and cause instability. | 05:20 |
| DVS01 | James_-_: you may want to separate /home | 05:20 |
| ouyes | hi everyone | 05:20 |
| Topy44 | i want to build a few packages from source on my rather limited netbook. i do not want to permanently install all the build requirements on it. is there a nice and simple way to sandbox all of it? | 05:21 |
| semitones | katyl: hmm, ok. Why is it used in Ubuntu Studio then? | 05:21 |
| ouyes | how to restart the wireless connection afer kill some wireless processes(for some testing) | 05:21 |
| Flannel | semitones: realtime kernels don't perform the way most people want a computer to perform | 05:22 |
| James_-_ | DVS01 yea I was thinking /home was a given... but where would other user controlled or defined setting and such be stored that I would want to have restored quickly if things went bad | 05:22 |
| semitones | katyl: Flannel: it was something about low latency that I don't understand | 05:22 |
| DVS01 | James_-_: /etc holds a lot of settings | 05:22 |
| James_-_ | ok thanks | 05:22 |
| DVS01 | /usr/local/ perhaps, depending on what you got installed | 05:22 |
| DVS01 | you have to get a bit more acquainted with what exactly you're trying to accomplish though | 05:23 |
| scunizi | Roasted: ok.. not sure if this will work but you may have to actually extend/stretch the Extended partition first after deleting sda3.. if that works then extend sda7 from inside the extended partition. | 05:23 |
| Roasted | scunizi, youre suggesting to extend sda2, not sda7? | 05:24 |
| James_-_ | DVS01 ok, my goal is to build a dream desktop... just want to get a good game plan going, I have 4 linux servers and a few other linux boxes most all Ubuntu... tonight is the start of a new desktop workstation for my home office | 05:24 |
| scunizi | Roasted: yes as the first step.. because sda7 is actually inside the sda2 container.. if that makes sense. | 05:25 |
| Roasted | scunizi, I hereby declare you, sir, a genius. | 05:25 |
| scunizi | Roasted: process of elimination.. is it working? | 05:25 |
| Roasted | scunizi, Once I expanded sda2, I was able to apply the space to sda7. | 05:25 |
| Roasted | scunizi, yeah, 2/3 steps done | 05:26 |

I can move the marker up and down, but nothing happens if i press enter on "Install Ubuntu" and "Try to install without any changes". Only choice that works is boot from first harddrive. Anyyone know what this can be? Tried searching but it's a bit hard to define in search. | 05:30 |
| scunizi | Renatus: wep is pretty horrible anyway.. have you tried wpa? | 05:30 |
| ouyes | Renatus, how , it works fine for me | 05:30 |
| sdwrage | scunizi, yes | 05:31 |
| keepsake | Wine and playonlinux works for me, but whenever I install an app it says that it cannot be configured: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3b89b0cf. Anyone have any ideas? | 05:31 |
| Renatus | i have to manually enter the wep key every time i log on or off, it just wont save it in the network manager | 05:31 |
| === Darth_Vader_ is now known as The_Thing | ||
| ouyes | Renatus, after making a success connection, the system will connect to the original AP automatically next time | 05:32 |
| ouyes | Renatus, make sure the wired line is cut off' | 05:33 |
| Renatus | But it doesnt! I have to lookup the wireless networks, click on mine, and enter the 26 digit wep key each time, and the only wire plugged in is the power cable right now | 05:33 |
| iflema | niaka have you tried | 05:33 |
| ouyes | Renatus, do not use WEP, it is so risk | 05:33 |
| scunizi | Renatus: I think what he means is to disable "wired" in ubuntu's connection manager | 05:33 |
| chipgeri | how do i install php 5.2.10? | 05:34 |
| Renatus | okay | 05:34 |
| sdwrage | scunizi, know what it could be? | 05:34 |
| Renatus | and I have no choice but to use WEP because my dad has the network set up the way he wants it | 05:34 |
| HelloThere | wait this seems relevent to what I need to know! | 05:34 |
| HelloThere | Hello there, completely new user to ubuntu | 05:34 |
| HelloThere | is there a way to get the like.. wireless network thing to show up like it does on windows? | 05:35 |
| ouyes | scunizi, you can change it anyway , it is not safe mate | 05:35 |
| HelloThere | like.. networks' names and their associated security | 05:35 |
| scunizi | Renatus: suggest this to your dad.. you'd be better off turning wep off, turn off ssid broadcast and limit wireless connections to MAC addresses you manually enter in the router | 05:35 |
| scunizi | sdwrage: #vmware | 05:35 |
| Renatus | but then at my university they use WEP keys soooo i dont think i could convince them that | 05:36 |
| scunizi | Renatus: then show him this post to convince him.. http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/using-ubuntu-to-crack-wep/ | 05:36 |
| ouyes | Renatus, scunizi ,you just need to use wpa2, never wep , it can be cracked in less than one minute | 05:36 |
| keepsake | That's provided someone would be bored enough to try to hack the network =P | 05:37 |
| scunizi | ouyes: I'm aware of that.. looks like Renatus 's university isn't | 05:37 |
| HelloThere | So, there isn't a way I take it? | 05:37 |
| Renatus | Okay, well I know that wpa is better, but theres still the question of why wont it save the key? | 05:37 |
| ouyes | scunizi, renatus's university?it is none of its bussiness | 05:38 |
| web1109 | Renatus: have you changed your login password? in Jaunty I changed my login (sudo) password and that caused problems with keyring | 05:38 |
| scunizi | Renatus: maybe this will help http://mediakey.dk/~cc/howto-use-wep-encryption-with-ubuntu-linux/ | 05:39 |
| Renatus | no, its been the same, but i do have an error that comes up about ICEauthority | 05:39 |
| ouyes | Renatus, frankly, i have no idea, maybe you just had bad luck | 05:39 |
| Flannel | seede: is that \040 (octal?) or 0x40 (hex)? | 05:39 |
| Renatus | haha okay, well thanks anyways | 05:39 |
| web1109 | Renatus: does it remember you schools key? | 05:40 |
| usser | Renatus, its probably not wep that they use, rather dynamic wep with RADIUS authentication, its much more secure than wep or wpa | 05:40 |
| Renatus | well, I dont know, I installed ubuntu today but I'll be able to see tomorrow | 05:40 |
| iflema | HelloThere click once on the end to end maracas near the clock it looks like two ends plugged together | 05:41 |

| tolpico | I modified a panel to autohide on right side. It seems to be gone forever. Its not popping back. Is there a shortcut or way to show all panels? | 05:41 |
| Renatus | I d/led it from the website and burned it onto a CD | 05:42 |
| perscitus | Renatus.-> it's 9.10 | 05:42 |

| keepsake | tolpico: Fool around with the settings and see if you can figure it out. | 05:44 |
| perscitus | Rubyiris.-> First, use WINE Repository and not Ubuntu one. Then goto #winehq. | 05:44 |
| Rubyiris | ? | 05:44 |
| ouyes | hei , does anyone know how to restart the wireless connection after killing all the process related to wireless? | 05:45 |
| perscitus | Rubyiris.-> WInehq website far more updated version then one in ubuntu repository. | 05:45 |
| Rubyiris | wwhats a repository. | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Rubyiris: seems like you'd be better off putting all that in the #wine channel | 05:45 |
| keepsake | The #wine channel is pretty chirpy usually | 05:45 |
| perscitus | onetinsoldier.-> #winehq | 05:45 |
| ouyes | scunizi, the website you give about cracking the wep in ubuntu is out of date | 05:45 |
| onetinsoldier | perscitus: ahh, thanks | 05:46 |
| tolpico | keepsake, thanks, unchecking autohide on panels_'s did the job. Seems there are lots of settings to modify here. | 05:46 |
| keepsake | tolpico: Yup, it's best to fool around and learn about ubuntu =P | 05:46 |
| scunizi | ouyes: yes.. but the concept is what I was trying to get across.. cracking web has been around for some time | 05:46 |
| web1109 | ouyes: do you still have the network icon in top panel? | 05:46 |
| Renatus | Hm, so this is the error im getting when i click reload on synaptic, "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 5A9BF3BB4E5E17B5" | 05:46 |

| perscitus | scunizi.-> Doesnt matter. | 05:47 |
| Renatus | What do you suggest I do than? | 05:47 |
| ouyes | web1109, yes after kill some process related to the wireless, i have the icon, but there is no ap found | 05:47 |
| tato42 | try alt-f2 nm-applet | 05:48 |
| seede | Flannel: I'm not sure whether that is octal or hex, the literal string I have looks like "show\040tables;" so I guess octal | 05:48 |
| web1109 | ouyes: rightclickin on that icon - are there two checkboxes for wired and wireless? | 05:48 |

| Guest41731 | does anyone know how to prevent a mitm attack on ssl on local lan? | 05:49 |
| guest3234 | anyone familiar with initramfs hooks and cryptsetup? | 05:49 |
| ouyes | web1109, no just one ,writes "enable networking" | 05:49 |
| guest3234 | perhaps i should try a different approach. | 05:50 |
| web1109 | ouyes: while usualy it has both wired and wireless, right? you on karmic? | 05:50 |
| guest3234 | help, i'm not prompted for my luks passphrase at boot and nothing i've done has fixed it. | 05:51 |
| ziroday | Guest41731: check the certificate | 05:51 |
| perscitus | scunizi.-> I opened nautilus then killall nautilus. works now | 05:51 |
| ouyes | web1109, yes as usual, but my situation is not as usual, i am on 9.04. | 05:51 |
| scunizi | perscitus: that works :) | 05:51 |
| Renatus1 | So how can I fix my keyring? | 05:51 |
| * citbun is away (disconnecting...) | 05:51 | |
| perscitus | What do I install to share files between Ubuntu installs? | 05:51 |
| web1109 | ouyes: i dunno, maybe try killing the applet process and then restart it | 05:52 |
| iflema | Gest41731 local lan as in private not public. | 05:52 |
| keepsake | Renatus1: In terminal: "gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 4E5E17B5", and then "gpg --export --armor 4E5E17B5 | sudo apt-key add -" | 05:52 |
| Guest41731 | you can setup a local deb ftp or u can do a ssh to the other systems or u can rsync | 05:52 |
| clicker4721 | perscitus: You can use Ubuntu One or some sort of backup/sync client | 05:52 |
| Guest41731 | to share files | 05:52 |
| Guest41731 | u can tar up anitying and transfer it via ssh/sftp | 05:53 |
| Renatus1 | it says permission denied | 05:53 |
| nvme | when you use an ssh tunnel does it send all your traffic through the remote server ?????/ | 05:53 |
| Guest41731 | or just plain ftp | 05:53 |
| clicker4721 | Renatus1: What's wrong with it? | 05:53 |
| keepsake | Renatus1: Sudo all of it | 05:53 |
| Guest41731 | nope | 05:53 |
| perscitus | clicker4721.-> No and no | 05:53 |
| web1109 | ouyes: nm-applet would be the command to start it again | 05:53 |
| Renatus1 | oh, thought i did heh | 05:53 |
| clicker4721 | perscitus: Does that mean you've already tried them both? | 05:53 |
| perscitus | clicker4721.-> They arent options | 05:54 |
| ouyes | web1101a, i use the command "kill PID" to kill some process, what is the command to start some process? | 05:54 |
| keepsake | Sharing files between ubuntu installs is done easiest just by... copy/pasting | 05:54 |
| keepsake | D= | 05:54 |
| clicker4721 | perscitus: Then you're screwed. Unless you have one of those fancy USB/FireWire sync gizmos. | 05:54 |
| perscitus | clicker4721.-> And you probably dont know how then | 05:55 |
| ouyes | how to show the running processes's pid in the terminal | 05:55 |
| web1109 | according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager, alt-f2 then type nm-applet --sm-disable | 05:55 |
| guest3234 | okay, i really don't know how to describe the problem i'm having in detail in a short sentence. the best way i can say it is that the initramfs image is no longer hooking the script that prompts me to mount my luks partition at boot which throws me into a busybox shell letting me know the root device can't be found. | 05:55 |
| keepsake | ouyes: top | 05:55 |
| web1109 | ouyes: ps -ef | 05:56 |
| guest3234 | that being said, it'd be great if someone in here could help me. | 05:56 |
| clicker4721 | guest3235: Re-install. Unless you've already done a lot of stuff, it's free anyway. Just copy off your most important files and re-install. | 05:56 |
| perscitus | iosiris3316 | 05:56 |
| onetinsoldier | ouyes: or another command would be like --> ps aux | 05:56 |
| guest3234 | Must I? | 05:56 |

| web1109 | keepsake: but does it list all processes? | 05:57 |
| guest3234 | the problem is just that the initramfs image isn't loading the cryptodisks hook at boot. | 05:58 |

| ouyes | keepsake, where? | 05:58 |

| keepsake | ouyes: Just type "top" in console | 05:58 |
| ouyes | top | 05:58 |
| clicker4721 | guest3234: Oh, more than just home? Try, when you re-install manually partitioning it to avoid overwriting partitions #2-4 ( your /home, /usr, and /somethingelse) ) and | 05:58 |
| web1109 | Renatus1: you solved your problem? | 05:58 |

| ouyes | keepsake, thank you , then how to start some process in the terminal?( i know the name of the process , since i killed them | 05:59 |
| guest3234 | I don't have /home /usr and /something else as separate partitions. | 05:59 |
| guest3234 | It's one giant partition. | 06:00 |
| guest3234 | encrypted partition. | 06:00 |
| clicker4721 | brian: If you want to take the time to set up WINE, anything will work. And a YouTube converter can just be a FireFox add-on. | 06:00 |
| clicker4721 | guest3234: One? Did you do that manually? | 06:00 |
| guest3234 | i can manually run cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 crypt1 while in the initramfs busybox shell, but it doesn't continue booting. | 06:00 |
| James_-_ | ok if i have a drive that isn't mounting on boot how do i make it mount at boot? | 06:00 |
| guest3234 | Nope, alternate installer. | 06:00 |

| brian | Does linux have anything not needing wine to run itunes? | 06:01 |
| clicker4721 | guest3234: Whoa! Just left my league! | 06:01 |
| ouyes | keepsake, that is it ,quite easy? | 06:01 |
| keepsake | ouyes: Except, append a & at the end, so for example, "firefox &" instead of "firefox" | 06:01 |
| clicker4721 | brian: You can use a feathers on SongBird. http://www.getsongbird.com/ | 06:01 |
| guest3234 | there is a small unencrypted partition to load grub and the initramfs images, but other than that, the rest of the hard drive is encrypted. | 06:01 |
| keepsake | ouyes: That'll start the process in the background so you can keep using the terminal. | 06:01 |
| guest3234 | i'm in a xubuntu livecd environment right now. | 06:01 |

| clicker4721 | TheGreatBunghole: I wanted to try out Jolicloud for a little while, but I like gOS more. http://thinkgos.com/ | 06:10 |
| nzCam | Though, i did find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes | 06:10 |
| nzCam | I'll give that a whirl. | 06:10 |
| hane | :) that s easy way | 06:10 |
| ouyes | web1109, well, leave the wireless problem a little while , thanks | 06:11 |
| clicker4721 | hane: So what if it's cheating, it gets the job done! :P | 06:11 |
| r4ban | i got an onboard audio problem: it's not listed on cat /proc/asound/cards | 06:11 |
| hane | :) | 06:11 |
| clicker4721 | Man, you people have more problems than a stick in the mud!!! | 06:11 |
| keepsake | !ot | hane, clicker4721 | 06:12 |
| Talon_ | no one process is taking all my ram | 06:12 |
| ubottu | hane, clicker4721: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 06:12 |
| web1109 | clicker4721: yeah but when stuff works it's quite awesome! | 06:12 |
| Talon_ | it's got to be all the crap it put in by default that i'd never use | 06:12 |
| clicker4721 | keepskake: ??? | 06:12 |
| clicker4721 | ubottu: I've been sticking to Ubuntu... | 06:12 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 06:12 |
| Talon_ | bluetooth?! theres bluetooth for computers? lol theres one right there | 06:12 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Then how do you know half of your ram is being taken up? | 06:12 |
| Talon_ | because 500+Mib is taken up out of my 1gb | 06:13 |
| TheGreatBunghole | clicker4721: I think I might try gOS on my laptop... (My laptop is getting old enough that netbook hardware is starting to look equal) ... Jolicloud worked well on my crap Acer Aspire =) | 06:13 |
| clicker4721 | web1109: Yeah, so you go to published, proven online tutorials. | 06:13 |
| Talon_ | it all adds up, but its divided amongst a crapload of processes | 06:13 |
| keepsake | Talon_: And it's not showing up in gnome-system-monitor? | 06:13 |
| web1109 | Talon_: can you pastebin the output of free -m | 06:13 |
| Talon_ | yes it is, thats what i'm saying, no one application is the culperate | 06:14 |
| clicker4721 | TheGreatBunghole: I don't have any first-hand experience mind you, just aspirations. Anyway, it's either that or the Kubuntu Netbook Remix, which is nothing at all like the UNR. You might wanna check it out, too. | 06:14 |
| James_-_ | keepsake thanks for the link but how do i get a prompt when this happens, i have restarted twice after you gave the link and haven't found a way yet | 06:14 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Type "grub" in terminal. | 06:14 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Provided you're using grub<2 | 06:15 |
| Talon_ | soon as i start virtualbox i skyrocket from 50% to 83% memory usage and its all way too sluggish to even be effective, whats the minimum ram requirements for Ubuntu? apparently 1gb is not enough | 06:15 |
| iflema | TheGreatBunghole http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/ | 06:16 |
| TheGreatBunghole | clicker4721: Thanks, I will check those out. I haven't heard anything about Kubuntu Netbook Remix, but I will give it a shot too =D | 06:16 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I haven't got a terminal yet, apon reboot it shows the normal what hdd are there and then dispalys "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, Please wait.... Error 15 | 06:16 |
| web1109 | Talon_: Ubunut is the guest OS? | 06:16 |
| Talon_ | no, ubuntu is the main os | 06:16 |
| === MK is now known as Guest34952 | ||
| keepsake | James_-_: Can you access recovery console? | 06:16 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Virtualbox takes up quite a bit of RAM, unfortunately. 1GB probably won't let you run another OS very well. | 06:17 |
| web1109 | Talon_: what is the guest os? | 06:17 |
| clicker4721 | TheGreatBunghole: By-the-way, not the gOS cloud, just plain gOS. And iflema is right, Moblin is another good one. However, I don't like shells that have seperate desktops and netbook presenters, like UNR. | 06:17 |
| Talon_ | winxp | 06:17 |
| James_-_ | keepsake haven't had the option however can you tell me if I can do it with a live disk | 06:17 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Yes, you can. If you go into recovery mode, you can recover grub. | 06:17 |
| brijith | hi All want to configure Evolutions email client to access my gmail account | 06:17 |
| keepsake | James_-_: And also enter that prompt | 06:17 |
| web1109 | Talon_: yeah i agree with keepsake, 1gb not enought for host and guest | 06:17 |
| clicker4721 | brjith: That's easy: Google it. | 06:18 |
| James_-_ | keepsake ok let me go try this brb | 06:18 |
| James_-_ | thanks | 06:18 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: That's easy, Google it. | 06:18 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Are you running ubuntu on a secondary computer? | 06:18 |
| James_-_ | yes | 06:18 |
| Differentkindof | I have a slightly daft question I was wondering if a certain program would build okay on ubuntu for arm | 06:18 |
| Talon_ | i still dont get why ubuntu uses 50% of my ram without vbox started | 06:18 |
| James_-_ | keepsake it is a fresh install not 10m old | 06:18 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Did you install it over something? | 06:19 |
| clicker4721 | Differentkindof: Sorry, can't help you, over my head. | 06:19 |
| Differentkindof | The only languages I see on it's sourceforge site is tcl c and c++ | 06:19 |
| brijith | clicker4721:but the probelm is I am accessing internet through a proxy | 06:19 |
| Differentkindof | So I think it's feasible | 06:19 |
| misteralexander | I've seen some googled pages about making an SSH shortcut. The problem, they tell you to create a link through Nautilus. That opens the remote server in a GUI view, I need a "Shortcut" as it were I can click & have it open up in Terminal. Any Ideas? | 06:19 |
| trupheenix | hi i'm facing a weird issue with apache on ubuntu. my .htaccess files are not working correctly even though i have set AllowOverride All. when i checked my apache error log i found that the rewrite rule is getting executed but it says file not found. any clues? | 06:19 |
| web1109 | Talon_: accoring to 'free -m' mine uses 440mb, not much running | 06:19 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: That blocks http://www.google.com/ | 06:19 |
| clicker4721 | ??? | 06:19 |
| James_-_ | keepsake yes I think and old ubuntu sever 8.04but i had the live disk format everything | 06:19 |
| Talon_ | hang on, let me switch irc clients, i run winxp just for mIRC hehe | 06:19 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Are you currently running 9.10? | 06:20 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I am installing 9.10 yes | 06:20 |
| Differentkindof | clicker4721: No worries my needs are getting to this point that I should prolly know to do this from scratch and not expect miracles | 06:20 |
| keepsake | James_-_: You should have a Recovery mode in the boot CD | 06:20 |
| brijith | clicker4721:no i can access gmail and everything through proxy. But when I setup gmail in evolution It shows some error like can not conect | 06:20 |
| Talon_ | free -m shows 692 used | 06:21 |
| clicker4721 | Differentkindof: I don't even know what's special about ARM, sorry...seen it somewhere, never read the article...I didn't intend any sarcasm. | 06:21 |
| Talon_ | vbox is off | 06:21 |
| brijith | clicker4721:I mean I can access gmail using a browser | 06:21 |
| James_-_ | keepsake would that be 'safe graphics mode' under F4 | 06:21 |
| keepsake | Talon_: 692 used, how much cached? | 06:21 |
| web1109 | Talon_: what about the second line? | 06:21 |
| Talon_ | 692/988 in use | 06:21 |
| keepsake | James_-_: No, boot the disk normally | 06:21 |
| Talon_ | 132 cached | 06:22 |
| Differentkindof | clicker4721: No worries... One day I'll learn to program myself | 06:22 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: Hmm...You have to enable POP access on your Gmail account. | 06:22 |
| brijith | clicker4721:hmm ? | 06:22 |
| brijith | How can do that ??? | 06:22 |

| keepsake | Talon_: So you're using about 560 MB, which to be honest is pretty normal =\ | 06:22 |
| === hane is now known as peregrinu | ||
| Talon_ | really? | 06:22 |
| FloodBot1 | Talon_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:22 |
| keepsake | Talon_: You're actually only using about 150 MB | 06:22 |
| Differentkindof | clicker4721: also set which ports cause gmail are different from other services | 06:22 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Nowhere near the 700 MB that you think =P | 06:23 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Boot the CD | 06:23 |
| James_-_ | keepsake ok booting | 06:23 |
| Talon_ | why so much? windows hardly touches my ram... | 06:23 |
| web1109 | keepsake: I think accorinding to second line, discarding cache, he's is truly using 548mb | 06:23 |
| === peregrinu is now known as hane | ||
| web1109 | which is a tad hgh | 06:23 |
| iflema | Talon_ im up in gnome, extra things loaded at boot.... footprint a little over 300mb | 06:23 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: Differentkindof is right, you have to know your ports, too. Any online tutorial should be able to tell you this, but I can't. Just enable POP access, and find a tutorial. All better. | 06:23 |
| misteralexander | I need some help making an SSH shortcut. I see on UbuntuForums, they tell you to create a link through Nautilus. That opens the remote server in a GUI view, I need a "Shortcut" as it were I can click & have it open up in Terminal. Any Ideas? | 06:24 |
| Differentkindof | Yeah it's like 465 for outgoing 995 or something for incoming | 06:24 |
| blakkheim | misteralexander: just use the cli dude.. | 06:24 |
| web1109 | Talon_: htop will tell you in pretty colors | 06:24 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Your usage is actually pretty normal, to be honest | 06:24 |
| Talon_ | so i need more ram. | 06:24 |
| brijith | clicker4721:my pop is enable | 06:24 |
| brijith | clicker4721:in gmail | 06:25 |
| iflema | Talon_ these days one really does need 3+ gig o ram to have fun...... | 06:25 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Essentially; especially if you're looking to run vbox very well | 06:25 |
| Talon_ | crazy | 06:25 |
| keepsake | brijith: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12103 | 06:25 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: Now find a tutorial. Differentkindof said it might be port 465 out and port 995 in. It's worth a shot, but I can't guarantee it. | 06:26 |
| misteralexander | blakkheim: LOL -- I know, I usually open terminal and type in ' ssh username@server.com ' but (i'm lazy) and just want to double click an icon and have terminal open with the info already there. I can go to Places > Connect To A Server | but that opens the remote server in a GUI, I need it open in Terminal. | 06:26 |
| brijith | clicker4721:when I posted this issue in a mailing list ,some one told me to change the squid,our proxy, configurations to allow those port | 06:26 |
| Talon_ | does kde use less than gnome? | 06:26 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: Never heard of it. | 06:26 |
| Differentkindof | Im running of memory on that clicker4721 and brijith | 06:26 |
| keepsake | Talon_: Try xfce instead | 06:26 |
| misteralexander | blakkheim: Am I missing a day-one basic step? LOL. | 06:26 |
| keepsake | Talon_: xfce is supposed to be the lightest | 06:26 |
| blakkheim | Talon_: gnome, kde and xfce are all bloated | 06:26 |
| clicker4721 | Differentkindof: ??? | 06:26 |
| web1109 | Talon_: not last time i checked, what is your ram usage on fresh boot? the spot that said 548 | 06:26 |
| Differentkindof | Memory on a tech call last night (server ports) | 06:27 |
| brijith | clicker4721:but I didn't got any further info, like what are the ports | 06:27 |
| clicker4721 | Differentkindof: I don't know what that is...sorry again. | 06:27 |
| brijith | clicker4721:or which line to edit etc .. | 06:27 |
| clicker4721 | brijith: We just said some...just plug those in. | 06:28 |

| ouyes | hi you | 06:28 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I am at the terminal and have tried bot 'find /grub/stage1' and 'find /boot/grub/stage1' neither are there according to 'find' | 06:28 |
| James_-_ | keepsake sorry hold on typo | 06:29 |
| ouyes | James_-_, thanks il coustomizate one for myself after 10.04 LST released | 06:30 |
| web1109 | Talon_: btw in System Monitor you can click View > All Processes and then sort by memory | 06:30 |
| Talon_ | any way to get a basic list of what packages i can remove to cut my memory usage down? | 06:31 |
| web1109 | Talon_: packages doesn't exactly mean memory usage | 06:32 |
| iAmerikan | what processes are you running Talon_ | 06:32 |
| web1109 | depends on what is started in startup programs | 06:32 |
| koshari | Talon_ hhh or ram? | 06:32 |
| misteralexander | When I hit "ALT+F2", what program is that? | 06:33 |
| Talon_ | top shows 155 processes running | 06:33 |
| Talon_ | well "tasks" | 06:33 |
| Talon_ | lots of those "tasks" i prolly don't need | 06:33 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: It's the "start" program | 06:33 |
| web1109 | Talon check in System > Preferences > Startup Applications | 06:33 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I have now checked and I DIDN'T have a typo... I have also checked for that file using the GUI... so now what do i do | 06:34 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: like /usr/bin/start ??? | 06:34 |
| Renatus | so um, can you install madwifi drivers with a dell wlan card 1937? | 06:34 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: I believe so. | 06:34 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Can you get into Recovery mode? | 06:35 |
| Talon_ | whats seahorse daemon | 06:35 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: nah, I checked. I'm trying to make an SSH shortcut on my desktop, click it & terminal launches you into the remote server. | 06:35 |
| keepsake | James_-_: i.e. restart with the CD, go to Recovery mode, and then select "Reinstall grub bootloader" or something | 06:35 |
| James_-_ | keepsake no not from the HDD and I haven't found a option for it with the cd... what I am in is live mode | 06:35 |
| Talon_ | k i turned off some services like that printer n bluetooth and dropped in memory usage, still rather high tho | 06:36 |
| James_-_ | ok i will look for something like that | 06:36 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Go into Recovery mode using the CD | 06:36 |
| James_-_ | ok | 06:36 |
| web1109 | Talon, did you View > all processes in System Monitor? | 06:36 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: any ideas? | 06:36 |
| Talon_ | yes | 06:36 |
| web1109 | that shoudl add up, no? | 06:36 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: What's the command you're trying to run? | 06:37 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: I don't use SSH myself so I'm not too familiar with it | 06:37 |
| web1109 | Talon you maybe can turn off compiz in System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects TAb | 06:38 |
| Talon_ | done, didnt help much | 06:38 |
| j_ack | adalal: verything ok with your mp3's? | 06:39 |
| iAmerikan | Talon_, what're your systemspecs? | 06:39 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I don't see a option on the black screen of the live disk where you pick live mode or install etc.... however I can get to the 'text interface' if you can give me the command to enter in to recovery mode I will be GTG | 06:39 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: LOL -- I'm trying a bunch of stuff. I basically want to click an icon on my desktop & terminal will lauch having already known the username & server to connect. I can do this in Nautilus, but that gives my a GUI connection & I need a CLI connection. | 06:39 |
| web1109 | Talon_: on my system in System Monitor 1&2 are Xorg @ 17mb and nautilus @ 16mb | 06:39 |
| Talon_ | ps ax shows things like cupsd running, isn't that printing services? i have no printer | 06:39 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: You need to find a terminal-based SSH program then, probably >> | 06:40 |
| iAmerikan | misteralexander, I suggest putty? | 06:40 |
| keepsake | James_-_: What do you see? | 06:40 |
| keepsake | iAmerikan: Isn't putty GUI-based? | 06:40 |
| Talon_ | so i really dont need a print daemon running since im never going to print | 06:40 |
| James_-_ | keepsake i am at 'boot:' | 06:40 |
| iAmerikan | keepsake, my bad. how about the openssh client? | 06:41 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Sorry, restart into the main menu of the CD with the Live mode and stuff | 06:41 |
| keepsake | iAmerikan: I don't know, sorry =( | 06:41 |
| James_-_ | keepsake ok | 06:41 |
| geirha | Talon_: It does allow you to print to file (ps/pdf), so it has some usefulness even without a printer. | 06:41 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: LOL -- ALMOST there. chose to make a "Launcher" for my desktop & just put in my SSH info . . . then BAM it promted me for a password, then nothing happened. LOL -- Almost there. | 06:41 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I am at the live disk screen right after picking english | 06:42 |
| keepsake | James_-_: What options do you see? | 06:42 |
| James_-_ | try ubuntu with our change, install ubuntu, check disc for defect, test memory, boot from fiest HDD | 06:43 |
| James_-_ | keepsaketry ubuntu with our change, install ubuntu, check disc for defect, test memory, boot from fiest HDD | 06:43 |
| blakkheim | !lol | misteralexander | 06:43 |
| ubottu | misteralexander: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 06:43 |
| keepsake | James_-_: There is no option to enter Recovery mode? That's really strange. | 06:43 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Is there something to enable "Advanced mode" or something of the sort? | 06:43 |
| iAmerikan | misteralexander, http://www.askdavetaylor.com/automating_ssh_with_a_shell_script.html | 06:44 |
| James_-_ | keepsake F4 gives these options normal, safe graphics mode, use driver update disk, OEM install | 06:44 |
| Talon_ | well i removed cups, now im removing everything related to bluetooth, i have no bluetooth devices or possibility for bluetooth | 06:45 |
| misteralexander | iAmerikan: Thanks! | 06:45 |
| keepsake | James_-_: What does F6 give you? | 06:46 |
| James_-_ | keepsake acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on, nodmriad, free software only | 06:47 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Maybe you'll want to try just reinstalling ubuntu | 06:48 |
| keepsake | James_-_: If you just installed it, you won't lose much | 06:48 |
| James_-_ | keepsake I just found this... if you have time look at it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 06:48 |
| web1109 | Talon_: you haven't told us what are the biggest memory consumers on your system, see System MOnitro | 06:49 |
| James_-_ | I think I need to look for a difrent file... maybe grub.cfg | 06:49 |
| keepsake | James_-_: You're not using grub2 though =\ | 06:49 |
| James_-_ | keepsake.. ok which grub comes with 9.10 | 06:50 |
| === commander is now known as Guest17970 | ||
| keepsake | James_-_: I think grub1 with the CD. | 06:51 |
| James_-_ | keepsake Ok will do a reinstall in the AM thanks for the help, If all else fails I can do more research or just downgrade to LTS if need be | 06:52 |
| James_-_ | Night all | 06:52 |
| keepsake | James_-_: Sorry I couldn't have been of more help; good luck! | 06:52 |

| jstoone | keepsake, Thanks! It works. (: | 07:04 |
| keepsake | jstoone: =D | 07:04 |
| misteralexander | keepsake: Got it. Create a launcher, but instead of "Application" choose "Application In Terminal". On the command line (usr/bin/program) instead put " ssh username@server.com " and then it'll open up in Terminal & then prompt for a password. 100% what I wanted. | 07:04 |
| keepsake | misteralexander: Ahh, I never realised you could have "Application in Terminal." Thanks, I learned something =P | 07:05 |

| keepsake | GG19: Except it went into your home folder, /home/brandon/ | 07:09 |
| GG19 | keepsake, let me check | 07:09 |
| rethus | Xbert: k. thanks | 07:09 |
| GG19 | keepsake, homigod thanks I thought it was supposed to show on my desktop since that where my files where. | 07:10 |
| firefox_ | Moblock is blocking everything even though I added http and https http://pastebin.org/79073 conf & status http://pastebin.org/79075 | 07:10 |
| jstoone | GG19, Can i ask you something? | 07:11 |
| geirha | GG19: > ~/Desktop/HB1.png would have put it on your desktop | 07:11 |
| GG19 | jstoone, yes? | 07:11 |
| keepsake | GG19: Exactly what geirha said, your directory was set to the home folder | 07:11 |
| firefox_ | any ideas? | 07:12 |
| jstoone | GG19: Lets say that I got the H1.png file, how would I extract the rar out of it? | 07:12 |
| GG19 | jstoone, you would rename the extension to .rar | 07:13 |
| rethus | search for a programm which make me ably to sync local-folder and ftp-folder | 07:13 |
| jstoone | Oh (; alright (: | 07:13 |
| keepsake | jstoone: Alternately you can look for headers, but that's a little more complicated =P | 07:13 |
| jstoone | GG19, Oh okay, thanks! | 07:13 |
| rethus | so i will choose... copy only newer or non existing files from ftp to local | 07:13 |
| GG19 | jstoone, yup :) | 07:14 |
| jstoone | keepsake, would you care telling more about that? (: | 07:14 |
| keepsake | jstoone: Well PNG images and RAR files have distinct headers | 07:14 |
| jstoone | GG19, Thnaks (: Good luck in the future | 07:14 |
| littlesmokie | hello | 07:14 |
| keepsake | jstoone: If you hex edit and find the header you'll be able to separate them | 07:14 |
| GG19 | keepsake, thanks again. | 07:14 |
| littlesmokie | can you guys see this? | 07:14 |
| GG19 | jstoone, you too, I'm still learning Linux | 07:14 |

| jstoone | keepsake, do you recommend any program for HEX editing? | 07:15 |
| GG19 | I am actually having one more difficulty I cant for the life of me find the wizard plugin for compiz. | 07:16 |
| jstoone | littlesmokie, yes i see what you are writing (: | 07:16 |
| keepsake | GG19: "Wizard plugin"? | 07:16 |
| GG19 | keepsake, its for more effects. | 07:16 |
| keepsake | jstoone: Not really, anything works | 07:16 |
| keepsake | GG19, I believe you're looking for CCSM | 07:17 |
| keepsake | !ccsm | GG19 | 07:17 |
| ubottu | GG19: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 07:17 |

| keepsake | littlesmokie: Regular wine, otherwise PlayonLinux | 07:18 |
| jstoone | keepsake, Anything? Well I know that I cannot open a file with the .rar extension with gedit | 07:18 |
| GG19 | littlesmokie, from my experiance dual-boot lol | 07:18 |
| littlesmokie | hehehe gg19 yeah i wanted a reason not to go back to windows | 07:18 |
| keepsake | jstoone: There are a lot of them, for example, ghex or something | 07:18 |
| Thomas_Ludwig | HI | 07:19 |
| keepsake | GG19: Do you know what kind of features it gives? | 07:19 |
| mooglenorph | Hi, how do I totally remove GNOME from ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| mooglenorph | I have the latest version of ubuntu NBR. | 07:19 |
| GG19 | well one feature it does is that the flames under the mouse that you turn on with super + K stays perminently. also more destop and windows effects Im pretty sure. | 07:20 |
| BinaryMan | I was that random guest having initramfs/cryptsetup problems. Ended up fxing the problem. | 07:20 |
| Renatus | where do i find what to patch for, patch -p1 -i bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.20.patch | 07:20 |
| Thomas_Ludwig | Maybe someone has an idea what I can do. I used sudo chmod 644 */ (OMG) and now I have the problem that the system isnt booting. run-init: /sbin/init: Permission denied kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! | 07:20 |
| littlesmokie | hey i installed recently ventrilo but the hot keys don't work how do i fix? | 07:21 |

| keepsake | mooglenorph: I'd be careful with that though, it does remove some packages that you might want. | 07:22 |
| Thomas_Ludwig | any ideas how I can repair my filesystem permissions for booting? | 07:22 |
| jstoone | keepsake, Now I typed "sudo apt-get install ghex" and it installed but how do I open a fire with this program? | 07:22 |
| keepsake | jstoone: "ghex /path/to/file"? | 07:23 |
| geirha | Renatus: grep '^+++' bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.20.patch should show you what files it will patch. You're likely supposed to run it in /usr/src/linux-<version>/ | 07:23 |
| mooglenorph | keepsake: what would I be most likely to miss? | 07:23 |
| keepsake | mooglenorph: Haha, the list is actually horribly long =P | 07:24 |
| keepsake | I'd just keep everything that start with gnome- | 07:24 |
| keepsake | and remove other stuff | 07:24 |
| littlesmokie | sorry but what IDE and language is used to make applications for Ubuntu? | 07:24 |
| keepsake | (by that i mean, REMOVE the gnome- stuff and erase the non-gnome stuff from the command) | 07:24 |
| * mooglenorph nods | 07:25 | |
| keepsake | Also, make sure you don't have the "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" at the end =P | 07:25 |

| GG19 | geirha, that look correct before I hit enter? | 07:40 |
| SeViLLa | Circs: nope | 07:40 |
| geirha | GG19: Yes, that find command searches recursively through the given directories for all regular files (-type f) that end in either .ogg or .mp3, and executes cp with those files as arguments | 07:40 |
| SeViLLa | Circs: i even purged firefox and reinstalled still i get the same message | 07:40 |
| iflema | Circs and of course http://unetbootin.Sourceforge.Net/ | 07:40 |

| geirha | GG19: There is a possibility some files are gone though. If the length of the filenames exceed a certain length, it will invoke a second mv, which will overwrite once | 08:14 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: Evolution is the PIMsuite, if you make an appointment in evolution it will show up in that panel applet. What distro are you running? | 08:14 |
| papul | ManDay: then use evolution | 08:14 |
| ManDay | ardchoille, karmic | 08:15 |
| GG19 | geirha, Im not sure I follow? | 08:15 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: then you should have evlution installed already and it should be in the Office and/or Internet menus | 08:15 |
| mooglenorph | There we go. It was trying to start GDM, and I had removed GDM. | 08:16 |
| ManDay | ardchoille, no, i installed a minimal install. is there any dedicated calendar package that i could use instead of evolution? | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: open Evolution, create an appointment and the new date will appear in bold text in the date/time applet fromdown | 08:16 |
| mooglenorph | How do I disable gdm properly? I just commented out some lines in the init.d/gdm.conf | 08:16 |
| ManDay | which, preferredly, links with gnome-panel? | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: install the evlution package | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: Evolution | 08:16 |
| ManDay | evolution is a mail client, isnt it? | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: it's mail, taskis, notes, calendar, etc | 08:16 |
| ManDay | would be nice if there was a dedicated package. i only need the calendar and i dont like installing stuff which i wont need later? | 08:17 |
| geirha | GG19: the find will execute "mv -t /media/disk/Music2 file1 file2 file3 file4..." A command has a length limit, so if that is exceeded, it will run another mv -t /media/disk/Music2 file100 file101 file102 ... | 08:17 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: you can use Sunbird instead of evolution but it doesn't show appts in the panel applet | 08:17 |
| ManDay | thanks | 08:18 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: afaik, evolution is the only app that is linked to from the date panel applet | 08:18 |
| ManDay | hm | 08:18 |
| ManDay | thunderbird is afraid of a competitor on the same system | 08:19 |
| GG19 | 6416 was what I had before 6014 is what I have now so 402 songs got deleted and thats not to bad considering I probably had that much or the song was similar in name which means I didn't care to much for it to change it lol and it saved me a crap load of time so I am happy with the result. | 08:19 |
| ardchoille | ManDay: Evolution is one of the first things I uninstall because it's just too much | 08:19 |
| ManDay | see :-) | 08:19 |

| Dravekx | how do I lock a user to his own directory? | 08:21 |
| geirha | GG19: Alright then. How many are left? find /media/disk/Music -type f (that will list all files remaining, if they are all music files, append |wc -l at the end to count the number of lines | 08:22 |

| MegaHerz|wrk | Hi all. I can't import address book from Outlook Express to Evolution. Is there a way? | 08:25 |

| Polysics | if i can't do that i have to go back to Windows, which might mean i will start screaming | 09:22 |
| iflema | c00p yeah fire starter = outgoing policy, restrictive = allow only one hostname the ability to use http,https,dns,dhcp | 09:22 |
| Kentrel | Polysics, just kill the process | 09:23 |
| iflema | c00p or craft a iptables string | 09:23 |

| Teclys | for some reason, certain pages won't load on firefox or chrome, but they do on opera | 09:29 |
| ultraparadigm | It was trying to make windows think that the ISO image was from the CDROM so it needed control of the CDrom which for some reason it didn't have because I kept opening and closing it and it got unmounted or something | 09:29 |
| Teclys | when i try to load http://students.asu.edu/employment/search/details?id=23861 it just brings up a white page with no source | 09:30 |
| ultraparadigm | anyway, it mounted the image and I can setup shared drives now! YAY! | 09:30 |
| setkeh | does any one know if ubuntu server live cd starts with sshd so i can install over ssh??? | 09:30 |
| Teclys | does anyone else have problems loading that page? | 09:31 |
| iflema | Teclys shes there | 09:32 |
| Teclys | hmm. weird. it works in opera a ok | 09:33 |
| TonyTate | So I have an ext4 /home partition I want to mount to a xubuntu 8.04 system. How do I do it? | 09:33 |
| Teclys | just not in firefox or chrome. | 09:33 |
| jack5463 | what's the name of the irc client in ubuntu? | 09:33 |
| TonyTate | It seems 8.04 doesn't support ext4. | 09:33 |

| unRuhe | is there a user management tool like kde's 'kuser' for gnome and if so whats its name? | 09:33 |
| SwedMike | TonyTate: if it doesn't support it, then it doesn't work. you have to copy the information to another place and reformat. | 09:34 |

| Untouchab1e_ | why is it that the performance in Windows decreases over time while *nix systems dont. It seems like the stability and performance of Windows is affected by the amount of software installed or at least by the installation of certain software, while in Unix, the only thing that seems to affect performance is the amount of proccesses running at a given time | 09:40 |
| Teclys | in other news, i can get my sound card to play a noise a startup and when i click test in multimedia settings, but no other time, and i don't know how to fix this. any ideas? | 09:40 |
| Untouchab1e_ | I reckon the system registry in Windows is relevant, as it has to handle the ever increasing registry.. while in Linux you just handle single files.. | 09:40 |
| Untouchab1e_ | but there must be something more | 09:40 |
| Teclys | lots of programs on windows run small background processes that are horrible wasters of memory, and over time these can build up in the background | 09:41 |
| geirha | Untouchab1e_: Not much spyware for linux, so no spyware reducing performance, and no antivirus checking your every move | 09:41 |
| unRuhe | Untouchab1e_, maybe redundant libaries in windows too | 09:41 |
| iflema | setkeh apparently a live cd with ssh server installed will get you started....... = mission | 09:42 |
| Untouchab1e_ | geirha: I am sure spyware is a culprit, but its not a core reason imho.. Because regardless of spyware or not, boot times increase, general system performance decreases and stability becomes shabby as well | 09:42 |
| jack5463 | ubottu, i saw someone using google translator inside irc. said he wrote it with emac. Is there documentation on how to do that? | 09:42 |

| iflema | setkeh pxe | 09:43 |
| Untouchab1e_ | unRuhe: maybe, but isnt that fixable? | 09:43 |
| unRuhe | most windows software comes without dependencies, if the prog need f.e. a python interpreter it will be shipped with the program | 09:43 |

| tiger2wander | Hi all | 09:46 |
| geirha | Untouchab1e_: I'm not an expert on the subject, but I believe ntfs is an improvement over FAT, but still does get fragmented. ext[2-4] goes to great lengths avoiding fragmentation in the first place. | 09:47 |
| Untouchab1e | geirha: interesting.. | 09:47 |
| Untouchab1e | NTFS is not a journaling filesystem.. is that the reason why its so exposed to fragmentation? | 09:48 |
| tiger2wander | How about bug internal SD card reader not detected by kernel without card plugged-in? | 09:48 |
| tiger2wander | I'm using 9.10 64 bit desktop version on HP Compaq CQ45 | 09:48 |
| tiger2wander | Anyone? | 09:49 |
| electhor | tiger2wander: What is the problem? I guess you have already stated it, but I don't have any logs of the issue | 09:51 |
| ardchoille | tiger2wander: that's normal.. only file systems are mounted and detected and there's no file system on a card reader unless the card is in the reader | 09:52 |
| tiger2wander | electhor, my internal card reader is not detected by kernel if I have not plug card into it, but if I reboot my computer with card inside slot then I'll see the device detected by command: lspci | 09:53 |
| ardchoille | tiger2wander: my external SD card readers are the same way | 09:53 |
| tiger2wander | ardchoille, The last time I've used Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit and I can see the card reader in the list of lspci command | 09:54 |

| karhu | can we still get linux drivers from nvidia ? | 10:55 |
| Kransac | Hi everyone | 10:55 |
| * iflema v.v | 10:56 | |
| pat|nG | i got 1 notebook with 3 partitions 80gb each partition..my primary os is vista and 1 80 i'm plannin to install ubuntu....from 80gb can i still make partition to that in installing ubuntu? | 10:57 |
| Kransac | I have a problem with my external hard drive (Mybook 1To) that I can't access. I belive it's because of (among other) the pratition table. I tried an fsck but it took more than 12 hours for nothing. | 10:59 |
| Kransac | I don't care about the data on it | 10:59 |
| Kransac | Is there a way to format it? | 10:59 |
| Kransac | gparted doesn't recogize it | 10:59 |
| ziroday | Kransac: does it appear in the output of sudo fdisk -l ? | 11:00 |
| Demostene | Kransac: gparted can't see it?? Is it connected through USB? | 11:00 |
| karhu | i just d/l'd the legacy linux driver from nvidia..does anyone know whether it will actually work or not ? due to not having an xorg.conf file? | 11:00 |
| ziroday | karhu: why not install the driver from the repo's? | 11:01 |
| dunc | hiya folks, i'm following this guide to setup a custom X session... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession , it's all fine apart from the guide says to pick "Default System Session" from the sessions menu to run my own .xsession file, but my menu has no such option | 11:01 |
| Demostene | karhu: create that file with text from mvidia | 11:01 |
| karhu | cause i cant find it in the repo's | 11:01 |
| dunc | anybody know how to tell gdm to use my own .xsession? | 11:01 |
| ziroday | karhu: which driver are you attempting to install? And which card do you have? | 11:01 |
| Dravekx | can someone help me setup a virtual directory for apache??? | 11:02 |
| Dravekx | Im totally lost and dont understand it. | 11:02 |
| ziroday | karhu: please keep it in the main channel | 11:02 |
| karhu | ok but its very hard for me to keep up cause i can only see two lines of text at a time lol | 11:03 |
| Demostene | karhu: just create /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:03 |
| karhu | due to the low res | 11:03 |
| ziroday | karhu: one sec | 11:04 |
| Kransac | Demostene: ziroday: Yes it appears in fdisk -I as sdb1. I gave an other try to gparted unplugging and trurning of the HDD, it is now seen by gparted | 11:04 |
| Dravekx | I want to setup a user so he can have web access to his home directory. is that what a virtual directory does? | 11:04 |
| ziroday | karhu: I'd recommend trying either the -nv or -nouveau drivers. envyng may also be able to help you but that is a very, very old card | 11:05 |
| karhu | ok so what do i have to do? | 11:05 |
| Demostene | Kransac: so you should now be able to format it with gparted | 11:05 |
| ziroday | karhu: well do you want to use -nv, -nouveau or give envyng a shot? | 11:05 |
| iflema | Dravekx maybe also try #apache | 11:06 |
| karhu | whatever is easiest and or most likely to work lol atm i will be happy to get a decent res so i can see everything im trying to do properly lol | 11:06 |
| Dravekx | iflema, they sent me here | 11:06 |
| Kransac | Demostene: Yes. Thank you. But Kind of feel that I'm going to have some more problem : I can't format and Fat32 | 11:06 |
| iflema | Dravekx really | 11:06 |
| Dravekx | yes | 11:07 |
| ziroday | karhu: okay, well do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nv | 11:07 |
| karhu | ok i'll give it a go | 11:07 |
| karhu | thanks :-) | 11:07 |
| Demostene | Kransac: I suppose gparted can only format ext2/3/4 ... if you want FAT32 you should use other tools if not other os (windows) | 11:08 |
| karhu | it says xserver-xorg-video-nv is already the newest version ? | 11:08 |
| iflema | Dravekx http://blog.damontimm.com/how-to-redirect-apaches-default-www-or-public_html-folder-to-a-directory-in-your-home-folder/ | 11:08 |
| ziroday | karhu: okay, then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:09 |
| Dravekx | iflema, cant do that.. my main page is in /var/www | 11:09 |
| Dravekx | I want a user to be able to put his home directory on the internet. | 11:09 |
| Kransac | What file format would you recommand me (linux only use) : fat32, ext3 or ext4? And do you know roughly how long it should take to format 1To? Beause it seems to me that it take years, and that the HDD is now working very hard. Hence I'm wondering if the problem is not material | 11:09 |
| karhu | ok...was it meant to do anything ? | 11:09 |

| acicula | dunc: if its not unencrypted yeh | 11:45 |
| MDGrey_- | how can i get apt to install squid 2.7.8? | 11:46 |
| acicula | MDGrey_-: you'd have to manually install it if its not in the repo, BUT, very likely the package is either unmaintained or outdated or both | 11:47 |
| calrik | acicula: or its beta quality | 11:47 |
| acicula | calrik: oh its a newer version :P? | 11:48 |
| acicula | MDGrey_-: then that too | 11:48 |
| calrik | eg the latest nvidia drivers are considered "beta", they are not on the repo but are quiet stable... | 11:48 |
| MDGrey_- | this is the one i got in apt 2.7.STABLE3-4.1ubuntu1 but it has a bug | 11:49 |
| MDGrey_- | so I need 2.7.STABLE8 | 11:50 |
| calrik | MDGrey: what is the bug you are mentioning? | 11:50 |
| calrik | all kernel releases have some bugs of some sort | 11:50 |
| Saturn2888 | did anyone know about my apt-preferences issue? I just need someone to look it over, make sure I wrote the file right | 11:51 |

| ouyes | how can i make my ati vga work? | 12:20 |
| bloopletech | OHH. I misread hardy as being 9.04, not 8.04 | 12:21 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, using ati driver I suppose? | 12:21 |
| xteejx | bloopletech: Hardy is 8.04, 9.04 is Jaunty | 12:21 |
| ouyes | i tried the official driver but failed | 12:21 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, not supported chipset? | 12:21 |
| xteejx | ouyes: fglrx only supports the newer radeons and X series | 12:21 |
| bloopletech | Ok, so if I want to migrate from hardy to karmic, what upgrade path should I follow, hardy -> jaunty -> karmic? | 12:21 |
| Newky | bloopletech: ur problem is that ur using hardy which is LTS, its configured to not show any upgrades that arent LTS releases as far as i no | 12:21 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, i donot know | 12:21 |
| xteejx | bloopletech: You can do a direct upgrade | 12:21 |
| josemaria | this hang doesn't happens when I boot in recovery mode | 12:21 |
| jrib | bloopletech: hardy -> intrepid -> jaunty -> karmic | 12:22 |
| xteejx | Can't say how buggy it'll be but ANy errors post here | 12:22 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, my laptop is a thinkpad t400 | 12:22 |
| josemaria | it's a page fault | 12:22 |
| slava_dp | mbrochh, regarding rsync, add --delete | 12:22 |
| jrib | bloopletech: skipping releases is not supported unless you are doing LTS -> LTS | 12:22 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, xteejx had some valid info. I'd agree too, there was something about legacy ati drivers aren't getting the support in later builds of ubuntu | 12:22 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, i saw the wiki for help, but still no luck | 12:22 |
| bloopletech | Thanks to all for their help, I'm getting come conflicting info | 12:22 |
| Newky | bloopletech: u dont have like a home partition | 12:22 |
| Newky | bloopletech: never mind ur sshing | 12:22 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, what about the free one? not fglrx but the other | 12:22 |
| ouyes | so what can i do to get it work | 12:23 |
| bloopletech | Newky: what? I have ssh root access to my VPS box | 12:23 |

| mbrochh | slava_dp, thank you for the reply! I did that but it didnt help... after some googling i found a suggestion like this: rsync -avzr --delete source dest | 12:23 |

| _spark | guys, when running an ubuntu-mobile live cd, would it be possible for me to change the xorg.conf to enable tv-out output? | 12:23 |

| Topy44 | anyone using cairo-dock, possibly in combination with UNR? | 12:24 |
| xteejx | bloopletech: All you need is here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes explains everything with upgrading, problems you may encounter, and workarounds :) | 12:24 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, which one are you talking about? i am now afraid to try , i try to install the official driver but it doesnt work and i can not uninstall it following the instructions giving by the ati | 12:24 |
| Newky | Topy44: nope, but im using docky with UNR and its awesome | 12:25 |

| Chetic | psycho_oreos: http://www.pastebin.org/79171 | 12:25 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, fglrx is the proprietary one by ati, there should be another one. I wouldn't know it off my head personally but pastebin lspci -nnk of your video chip first | 12:25 |
| Topy44 | Newky: docky doesnt behave the way i like | 12:25 |

| Topy44 | main thing being subdocks which i dont think docky does | 12:26 |
| Chetic | psycho_oreos: Sorry just needed to pastebin the last device there | 12:26 |
| psycho_oreos | Chetic, you'll need wl driver | 12:26 |

| Chetic | psycho_oreos: yes | 12:27 |
| Topy44 | my problem is that most of the time it only appears when i move the mouse into the callback zone and then OUT of the dock area again, just for a quick flash | 12:27 |
| ouyes | >!pastebin | 12:27 |
| Topy44 | so i dont cant actually use it | 12:27 |
| Newky | Topy44: sounds obvious but its not set to like autohide is it ? | 12:27 |

You can also download and install the newer driver from Nvidia's site, or try modifying xorg.conf. If you're new to Linux and Ubuntu though, I | 13:43 |

| Yfrwlf | frostbite7: If it's a Compiz 3D effects plugin of some sort, you should search on the site for that, there is some Compiz/Beryl/etc site for themes and plugins and whatnot. | 13:47 |

| SPeck84 | kiwiman are u a hungarian? | 14:28 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, ahh you're here, umm I checked the lspci -nnk output, your hardware is a fairly recent build, so I can't see how fglrx wouldn't work but Xorg.0.log may show something useful imo | 14:28 |
| dryfire | kik | 14:28 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Actually I use gentoo so I dont know exactly how to install the xorg-edgers repo, but from what I understand, you just add it and update your system. If you would like, you might find support for this in #radeon | 14:28 |

| psycho_oreos | ouyes, well I'd check the error logs, Xorg.0.log first. You said you have previously activated the driver right? and so if it fails, etc it should be logged into Xorg.0.log, in /var/log | 14:33 |

| ouyes | psycho_oreos, how about the hardy? | 14:37 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, what about the hardy? | 14:37 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, I never tried fglrx driver but if its a wrapper like nvidia's proprietary driver, you might be able to compile it manually (via new linux driver) and old kernel sources to get it working | 14:37 |
| soreau | ouyes: Why are you trying to use hardy? Why not 9.10? | 14:37 |

| ahabman | I'm trying to script swapping out /etc/X11/xorg.conf (to add another monitor). Is there a way to reload or restart X server without logging out? | 14:39 |
| xteejx | Is anyone testing Lucid with System Testing yet? If not I'd suggest doing it before Alpha 4 in about 6 weeks, so any future problems can be ironed out ASAP | 14:39 |
| yucatan1991 | idleOne: if i do sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers i get command not found | 14:39 |
| ouyes | soreau, i like the ADD/Remove function with stars to make a choice, and i hope it has a good stability(so the 8.04 is my first choice, by the avalibility is low) | 14:39 |
| xteejx | yucatan1991: Use Software Sources in System>Admin | 14:39 |
| nouga | ahabman, ctrl+back-arrow | 14:39 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, and I would personally also start asking (agreeing with what soreau suggested) why use 8.04? such new hardware would probably be well benefited under later version | 14:39 |
| elvios | ahabman: I think ctrl + alt + backspace will do the trick. | 14:39 |

| ouyes | soreau, never mind , hopefully the 10.04 will save me among all of the releases | 14:40 |
| soreau | ouyes: Yes, you have a relatively newer card. So it is only logical to use a newer version of ubuntu | 14:40 |
| nouga | ahabman: I think ctrl + alt + backspace then /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 14:40 |
| IdleOne | yucatan1991: also it's ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa | 14:40 |
| xteejx | ouyes: You can test 10.04 now it's pretty much stable, this will give a good indication of whether you will have any problems. You can use a LiveCD | 14:41 |

| gQuash | hello there. Newbie question here =( . Can I download ubuntu-desktop to and USB and then install it to an ubuntu server ? | 14:42 |
| xteejx | ouyes, yes, but testing is done in the alpha stage, you can use a LiveCD without changing any stuff on your hard drive, and will give a good idea if your hardware will be fully supported | 14:42 |
| ouyes | psycho_oreos, what is imo stand for? | 14:43 |
| yucatan1991 | idleone it dont work | 14:43 |
| IdleOne | gQuash: ubuntu-server is already installed? | 14:43 |
| xteejx | ouyes, in my opinion = imo | 14:43 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, in my opinion | 14:43 |
| nouga | ouyes, imo = in my opinion | 14:43 |
| yucatan1991 | i get gpg: requestion key 8844c542 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com | 14:43 |

| yucatan1991 | and it stays on that... | 14:44 |

| Threetimes | Hi, I have gdm-2.20 on karmic. How do I enable guest session? | 14:44 |
| elyos | gQuash if your server supports usb boot, and if you extract the data from the download iso, yes | 14:44 |
| xteejx | ouyes, http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2 | 14:44 |
| xteejx | ouyes, it won't change anything on your system unless you choose to install it (not recommended) | 14:44 |
| ouyes | xteejx, psycho_oreos,nouga thanks my poor english | 14:44 |
| IdleOne | gQuash: I think you can download the alternate cd and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. you will need to add the cd as a repository to your sources.list | 14:44 |

| freakynl | gQuash: have a look at unetbootin. it's beyond me why you'd install desktop to server though, unless you want to make server hardware a desktop. there's a server version | 14:45 |
| psycho_oreos | ouyes, well its not exactly your poor English is to blame.. imo is just a general internet short words :) | 14:45 |
| IdleOne | yucatan1991: ok. it is working. wait for it to finish | 14:45 |
| ouyes | xteejx, i know that i am not a brand new newbie i use ubuntu since 8.04 m, il make a usb start to try it thanks | 14:45 |
| xteejx | ouyes, don't worry, some English can't speak English ;) | 14:46 |
| xteejx | ouyes: You can use a LiveCD if you have any CDR / RW | 14:46 |
| xteejx | its easier | 14:46 |
| gQuash | freakynl: Well... I didn't know that was a server version, I downloaded but to my 2 PC desktop and server. But I'm not good enough on terminal =S so I really need the GUI, It's for learning purposes | 14:46 |
| yucatan1991 | idleone its finished now | 14:47 |
| yucatan1991 | what should i do next | 14:47 |
| yucatan1991 | ? | 14:47 |
| xteejx | gQuash: You can have a normal Ubuntu installation with the server stuff as well to make things easier, just install ubuntu-server once Ubuntu is installed | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | yucatan1991: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:47 |
| freakynl | gQuash: the difference is mainly in packages afaik. but i seldom use ubuntu :D. server doesn't install gui by default etc. unetbootin should do what you want tho' | 14:47 |
| IdleOne | xteejx: -server is installed he wants to add ubuntu-desktop | 14:48 |
| xteejx | Well that's easy enough | 14:48 |
| ouyes | xteejx, make a usb start will be even simpler, do not you think so? i have a cdr , but why a waste to burn one? il wait the final release and customize one for myself | 14:48 |
| xteejx | ouyes: Of course, that's not a problem if that's easier for you :) | 14:48 |
| gQuash | well my problem it's the download... So I'll download the package at work | 14:48 |
| gQuash | and the come home and install it | 14:48 |
| xteejx | gQuash: I'd then suggest using aptoncd :) | 14:49 |
| yucatan1991 | Idleone: its upgradeing so i'm waiting | 14:49 |

| GG19 | 'm so happy :) | 14:49 |
| IdleOne | gQuash: ubuntu-desktop is a meta package, it pulls in a bunch of other packages. so downloading just ubuntu-desktop to usb won't be enough | 14:50 |
| xteejx | Gone | 14:50 |
| IdleOne | darn | 14:50 |

| nouga | xteejx, no system sound on settings | 14:50 |
| xteejx | ouyes: I know :D | 14:50 |

| Dontkillme | Hello. I acciedenly wiped my hard disc and lost my linux. Is there a way to get it back? | 15:07 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, how did you wipe your HDD? | 15:08 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Ok, cool. Now make sure you have completely uninstalled the fglrx driver in sys>admin>hardware drivers | 15:08 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: you cannot have any fglrx package installed or else the open driver wont work for 3D | 15:08 |
| Dontkillme | MrUnix: With Paragon Disk Wiper - I wanted to test it... | 15:08 |
| rahul__ | i want to access my nokia N70 via usb... i m a kubuntu user and quite new to it. Plz help............. | 15:08 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, you did a full wipe? | 15:09 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau there is standing driver it not activated | 15:09 |
| yucatan1991 | so i think it not installed. | 15:09 |
| Dontkillme | MrUnix: Yes. I wanted to test the program. | 15:09 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: If there is no output to this command, you should be good: dpkg -l|grep fglrx | 15:09 |
| airtonix | Dontkillme, no. | 15:10 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, then you're going to need a pristinely clean electronics lab, a very powerful electron microscope, and a team of top-notch forensic's experts. | 15:10 |
| kinja-sheep | Dontkillme: I'll say you lost everything. :\ | 15:10 |
| Dontkillme | Oh | 15:10 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, Do you know about applications such as Virtualbox? | 15:10 |
| Dontkillme | MrUnix: No | 15:10 |
| airtonix | Dontkillme, lesson for today : look before you leap. think before you press red buttons. | 15:10 |
| LuciusMare | wow | 15:11 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: After verifying no fglrx packages are installed, reboot your computer. Finger crossing is optional :) | 15:11 |
| LuciusMare | i just ecryptfs-mount-privated my home | 15:11 |
| airtonix | LuciusMare, you can find wow related help on #wowuidev | 15:11 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, well now consider you've learned a lesson. Don't experiment on your own HDD. When you reinstall Linux make sure you download Virtualbox or some similar application and test stuff there. | 15:11 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau: http://pastebin.com/m25993c73 | 15:11 |

| LuciusMare | it loaded successefully,i can read everything,but the folder names are still gibberish | 15:11 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Oh, you need to remove all of those packages | 15:11 |
| LuciusMare | well | 15:12 |
| yucatan1991 | how can i do that | 15:12 |
| LuciusMare | names of EVERYTHING are gibberish | 15:12 |
| yucatan1991 | just apt-get remove? | 15:12 |

| soreau | lol | 15:13 |
| erUSUL | Karhu: also 8.04 is LTS | 15:13 |
| ouyes | xteejx, which do you prefer? xubuntu or the ubuntu ( xfce or the gnome) | 15:13 |
| IdleOne | soreau: you liked that huh :) | 15:13 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, well data stored on an HDD is essentially electromagnetic pulses so - no. | 15:14 |
| soreau | IdleOne: Nice ;) | 15:14 |
| * airtonix makes the sound of a wosshing airplane going over IdleOnes head | 15:14 | |
| MrUnix | IdleOne, that made me lol | 15:14 |
| soreau | airstr1ke: Quite the contrary as you must have missed it ;) | 15:14 |
| soreau | damn this channel | 15:14 |
| Dontkillme | Where're all my files? I need them back... | 15:15 |
| ikonia | soreau: calm down please | 15:15 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, Paragon will have written over them completely. They no longer exist. | 15:15 |
| kinja-sheep | Dontkillme: You WWIII your files. | 15:15 |
| airtonix | Dontkillme, seriously ? after a hardrive wipe you still fully expect to recover your files ? | 15:15 |
| MrUnix | airtonix, it's possible if it was only one or two passes with a static pattern. | 15:16 |
| * airtonix still thinks Dontkillme is a troll. | 15:16 | |
| LuciusMare | Hawkey: nazdar | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | Dontkillme: you erased them all when you did your test. you have deleted them all. | 15:16 |
| MrUnix | airtonix, he just needs a lot of money and some powerful equipment. | 15:16 |
| Dontkillme | Oh no... | 15:16 |
| LuciusMare | like,two millions and a lab | 15:16 |
| LuciusMare | more or less | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | MrUnix: that is an option not available to most, not even worth mentioning | 15:16 |
| MrUnix | Don't forget the very powerful electron microscope | 15:16 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau: okee i did remove them | 15:16 |
| Hawkey | LuciusMare hi | 15:17 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau: should i reboot now or do i need to do something else? | 15:17 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Alright, so dpkg -l|grep fglrx is showing nothing now? | 15:17 |
| MrUnix | IdleOne, it might apply to him. He could be a closet millionaire. | 15:17 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau there are still tree entry's | 15:17 |
| yucatan1991 | if i hit it | 15:17 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Or at least, nothing with ii next to the name | 15:17 |
| Dontkillme | Is there a way to get at least my operating system back? | 15:18 |
| ikonia | Dontkillme: no | 15:18 |
| IdleOne | Dontkillme: yes, get the cd and install | 15:18 |
| soreau | heh | 15:18 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, Apart from the electron microscope? Reinstallation | 15:18 |
| llutz | Dontkillme: fresh install + restore backup, [x] done | 15:18 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau: if i do again sdo apt-get uinstall i get is not installed so not removed. | 15:18 |
| Dontkillme | Oh, okay. Thanks, I'll try it. | 15:18 |
| airtonix | Dontkillme, this time round when you install, put have your home folder on a separate partition to your system core | 15:18 |
| MrUnix | airtonix, that won't stop an HDD wipe from reaching it. | 15:19 |
| llutz | so nfs-home | 15:19 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, lesson of the day - testing stuff on your HDD != win. | 15:19 |
| yucatan1991 | soreau: so whats next now? | 15:19 |
| CAPcap | How do i add a shortcut button to Applications > Internet? | 15:19 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Good. Go ahead and reboot then try to enable desktop effects | 15:19 |

| airtonix | CAPcap, from where ? | 15:20 |
| llutz | pebkac | 15:20 |
| Karhu | whats less resource hungry out gnome and kde ? | 15:20 |
| quarkup | ho any1 using kde4 ? | 15:20 |
| IdleOne | heh | 15:20 |
| MrUnix | Dontkillme, I've rebuilt an OS on this computer I'm on at least twenty times by now. You'll get used to it. | 15:20 |
| airtonix | Karhu, same. | 15:20 |
| MrUnix | !kubuntu | quarkup | 15:20 |

| airtonix | CAPcap, you want a shortcut on your desktop or panel right to seamonkey? | 15:21 |

And I guess I could wire the doorbell in as a key press or a mouse click. But I doubt there is any suitable software. I would probably have to graft something.Any ideas? | 15:23 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: I think you will need at least 2.6.32 kernel for 3D accel on this card with the open driver but if xorg-edgers repo doesnt provide it, not sure if you have to build one or what :P | 15:24 |

| cweilem | airtonix: yup | 15:28 |
| soreau | yucatan1991: Well it is very easy then. For a clean install, just do like IdleOne said: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 15:28 |
| yucatan1991 | okee thx alot | 15:28 |

| juniper | erUSUL: genius nice 1 thx | 15:30 |
| airtonix | cweilem, expect it wont, since to use gimp to do this you would 1) need to edit each frame manually (time consuming, not practical) 2) setup a pipe from the /dev/somethingsomethingsomething/ folder to have gimp process it in the backgroun (complicated, also might fubar other things ) | 15:30 |

| airtonix | cweilem, have you tried using the program called "cheese" ? | 15:31 |
| cweilem | airtonix: right. i mean, it's not a huge issue - the bottom line is the camera works and I can catch people stealing stuff off my desk, but it'd be nice if it wasn't mirrored | 15:31 |

| riktking | inmanix, sorry for "swaps" i mean a drive that both windows and linux can see not a swap drive | 15:35 |

| kinja-sheep | inmanix: No it is not. It is a feature some people use. | 15:36 |

| soreau | yucatan1991: Thank IdleOne too, I made a note of how to add the xorg-edgers repo now :) | 15:37 |
| inmanix | okay, so i need ext4 for files, i need a ext4 for ubunutu which i already have, i need a fat32 for shared and i need a ntfs for windows? | 15:37 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: I just joined, what are you trying to do? | 15:37 |
| riktking | inmanix, yes | 15:37 |
| airtonix | cweilem, it might be (if it is then my assumption is that since its newer than cheese or motion it is sniffing machine ids of your webcam and it knows that it needs to flip the frames) | 15:37 |
| IdleOne | soreau: :) | 15:38 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: you don't need Fat32, Ubuntu since 7.10 (October 2007) can read and write to NTFS properly, as long as Windows shut it down properly | 15:38 |
| jrib | inmanix: why do you need ext4 for files? Just have a partition for ubuntu and one for swap. A separate one for /home is also a good idea. That's it on the ubuntu side | 15:38 |
| * airtonix thinks separate home partitions should be default | 15:38 | |
| MrUnix | I just use a boot partition, a swap area, and then keep all my ubuntu stuff on the same part. | 15:38 |
| MrUnix | *shrugs* | 15:38 |
| sebsebseb | airtonix: they are good to have, but not always needed, espeasilly if people have say an external hard disk to back up to | 15:39 |
| inmanix | i dont understand the /home stuff | 15:39 |
| airtonix | MrUnix, must make reinstalling a pain in the rear (what with having to back up X amount of gigs prior to reinstalling) | 15:39 |
| kinja-sheep | !home | inmanix | 15:39 |
| ubottu | inmanix: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 15:39 |
| MrUnix | inmanix, /home is really the only area in linux you'll be able to write new files to. All of your stuff is kept there. | 15:39 |
| jrib | inmanix: all your user's data is kept there. So if you have a separate partition for it you could for example reinstall ubuntu without really noticing or use another distro without really noticing | 15:40 |
| === Guest2134 is now known as CoJaBo-Aztec | ||
| inmanix | sure, so its basically my C drive | 15:40 |
| airtonix | sebsebseb, separate gome parition precludes the requirement to back up prior to a reinstall. | 15:40 |
| jrib | inmanix: no | 15:40 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: ok thanks for the pm telling me what you want to do | 15:40 |
| zer0her0 | dumb question how can i see the format of a drive/partition | 15:40 |
| inmanix | so i have 10gb for ubuntu installation, then a seperate ext4 for home | 15:40 |
| MrUnix | airtonix, I keep an external HDD close at hand that I backup to at least once a week or so | 15:40 |
| freakynl | inmanix: no, basically it's c:\documents and settings | 15:40 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: by default Ubuntu puts everything into / which is like C in Windows | 15:40 |
| freakynl | or c:\users if you vista/7 users | 15:40 |
| tdn | With tar, how do I set the compression level? Say, I want to do gzip level 4 or bzip2 level 9? | 15:40 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: however it also gives people some swap space, which is virtual memory in Windows | 15:40 |
| zer0her0 | via cli. | 15:41 |
| inmanix | and home natively lives in / im guessing | 15:41 |
| inmanix | and im looking to move that to a new partition | 15:41 |
| MrUnix | Everything is kind of in / | 15:41 |
| maemo_5 | hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound | 15:41 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: a home is like my documents, and program files kind of, well just program user data in hidden .folders for programs in a home. by default home goes in / ,but some of us like having a seperate /home partition, because that makes re installing Ubuntu or even changing to another distro a bit easier | 15:41 |
| riktking | inmanix, /home is a "directory" of / , but can be on a different partitions | 15:41 |
| domito_ | 'morning | 15:42 |
| kinja-sheep | inmanix: In Windows, there are many drives C: D: E: -- In Unix, everything is in one tree. /etc/ /home | 15:42 |
| inmanix | sure, so its effectively my documents and program files | 15:42 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: for example .mozilla is the Firefox profile, if you remove/move it and then re open Firefox, it's like your using it on Ubuntu for your first time | 15:42 |
| MrUnix | !hi | domito_ | 15:42 |
| ubottu | domito_: 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! | 15:42 |
| inmanix | sure sure | 15:42 |
| maemo_5 | hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound. i use ubuntu 9.4 | 15:42 |
| inmanix | so my home partition needs to be my large linux 'file' partition | 15:42 |
| maemo_5 | hi. i need a help for kmid and timidity. all it's right installed but the midi and kar codec doesn't work... i can't hear the sound. i use ubuntu 9.4 | 15:43 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: yeah do like 10GB for / that's right you don't need much space for Ubuntu itself, when you got a big seperate /home | 15:43 |
| freakynl | inmanix: no, program files is /bin, /usr/bin, things like that. program data in windows is kept in c:\documents and settings\user and the local settings\application data or application data. in linux program DATA is kept in your home folder. quite similar actually | 15:43 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: swap space, well that depends on how much RAM, how big you make it | 15:43 |
| inmanix | well if i say install steam with wine | 15:44 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: and if you want to hibernate and such or not | 15:44 |
| * airtonix likes to put the swap partition as the first partition | 15:44 | |
| jrib | inmanix: wine stuff ends up in your home | 15:44 |
| inmanix | k :) | 15:44 |
| MrUnix | inmanix, wine = /home | 15:44 |
| * kinja-sheep does not use swap :D | 15:44 | |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: yes that's right .wine the hidden .wine folder is your wine programs | 15:44 |
| inmanix | seb someone said around 1.5 gig was good for me | 15:44 |
| MrUnix | Virtually everything you add to linux will end up in /home. | 15:44 |
| inmanix | im 2gig ram | 15:44 |
| betz | Greetings! | 15:44 |
| * freakynl likes /boot as first partition and swap second :P | 15:44 | |
| * airtonix thinks kinja-sheep shall feel the cold edge of my swap drive | 15:45 | |
| sebsebseb | kinja-sheep: I don't really need it either and this is with 1GB RAM, I don't hibernate this computer | 15:45 |
| MrUnix | inmanix, swap needs to be 2 or more gigs then. (I suggest at least three or four if you want to hibernate or work with large files) | 15:45 |
| sebsebseb | kinja-sheep: oh some programs might run better with SWAP space, but I don't really need, even so though I tend to have it | 15:45 |
| MrUnix | !hi | betz | 15:45 |
| ubottu | betz: 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! | 15:45 |
| kinja-sheep | sebsebseb: I think it is nicer to have swap file instead of swap partition. | 15:45 |
| sebsebseb | kinja-sheep: oh you got a SWAP file | 15:46 |
| kinja-sheep | sebsebseb: No I don't -- but I'm looking at htop right now, I'm using 717MB / 3G | 15:46 |
| airtonix | MrUnix, to be safe swap needs to be 2.5 times the capacoty of your physical ram (to cover the hibernation scenario that your physical ram is full and some swap drive is being used for running apps) | 15:46 |
| kinja-sheep | sebsebseb: Basically, 24% of the memory. | 15:46 |
| freakynl | kinja-sheep: swap can not dynamically grow so what's the point? | 15:46 |
| airtonix | freakynl, techincally it can by adding a swap file to fstab | 15:47 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: by the way you have told me you want to game right, well there's this idea that Deskop Linux sucks for gaming, but that really is not the case, there are some pretty good native games for it, and quite a lot of games will work well enough in Wine, ok so some/many need to be configured a bit first for Wine | 15:47 |
| kinja-sheep | airtonix: +1 | 15:47 |
| betz | I need to install php5-imap on a feisty server. Tried with apt-get, but i get 404 error, failed to fetch | 15:47 |
| sebsebseb | inmanix: just wanted to be clear, that there are good games for Desktop Linux as well | 15:47 |
| MrUnix | airtonix, I was just passing along the minimum recommended. | 15:47 |
| freakynl | airtonix: i know how to use loopback swap file, i said grow :) | 15:47 |
| llutz | you always can additional swap-space on the fly | 15:47 |
| sebsebseb | !games | inmanix | 15:47 |
| ubottu | inmanix: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 15:47 |
| inmanix | i know :) i got CS:S going last night | 15:47 |
| inmanix | my ping was awful | 15:47 |
| inmanix | not ping..fps | 15:47 |
| inmanix | but one change | 15:47 |
| jrib | !feisty | betz | 15:47 |
| ubottu | betz: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 15:47 |
| inmanix | and it doubled | 15:47 |
| FloodBot1 | inmanix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:48 |
| airtonix | freakynl, i like to think that a swap space that grows is not good. | 15:48 |
| jrib | betz: you should upgrade as feisty is no longer supported | 15:48 |
| betz | ubottu: so i can't get those packages anymore? upgrading is not an option for the moment, not my server | 15:48 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 15:48 |
| freakynl | airtonix: i like to think swap is evil anyways :) virtual memory is horribly slow | 15:48 |
| kinja-sheep | freakynl, airtonix: Also, you can't grow the RAM, what is the point? You have to change them. :) | 15:49 |
| airtonix | freaky[t], this is true | 15:49 |
| jrib | betz: tell the admin to upgrade it. Point out that it is no longer supported | 15:49 |
| sebsebseb | betz: 7.04 is/was a rather nice release really, but yep no longer supported, so you should upgrade to at least 8.04 really | 15:49 |
| ouyes | i have never seen there were more than 200MB of the swap space being in use | 15:49 |
| llutz | if one uses swap on regular base, he should buy ram | 15:49 |
| freakynl | kinja-sheep: the point is, if you have to pre-allocate the space it makes no difference whether it's a partition or a file | 15:49 |
| freakynl | in case of the file, if it's heavily fragmented it will perform even worse | 15:49 |
| airtonix | llutz, hibernation ? | 15:49 |
| ouyes | swap space should be abolished | 15:50 |
| llutz | airtonix: that's not "using swap", thats hibernating to swap-partition | 15:50 |
| airtonix | llutz, no swap == no hibernate | 15:50 |
| ouyes | abandoned | 15:50 |
| regjava | How can I browse network computers in xubuntu? | 15:50 |
| llutz | airtonix: i meant "usind swap as memory paging" | 15:50 |
| kinja-sheep | regjava: Maybe "network://" in your file manager location bar | 15:50 |
| ouyes | regjava, you are running xubuntu ? how about it ? | 15:51 |
| MrUnix | !ot | llutz ouyes airtonix freakyn1 | 15:51 |
| ubottu | llutz ouyes airtonix freakyn1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 15:51 |
| freakynl | airtonix: yes, this is why hibernation, atleast using that method, on linux is borked. if i have 2G mem, 3G swap, using 3.5G mem (thus 2G and 1.5G swap) hibernation is going to have serious issues | 15:51 |
| kevin1093 | does anyone know if it is possible to run ubuntu server 9.10 on an old windows 95 | 15:51 |

| pif | llutz: better | 15:52 |
| jrib | sebsebseb: yeah, that's just what I've seen others say, I always show the menu | 15:52 |
| regjava | dosent ubuntu have network support? | 15:53 |
| sebsebseb | jrib: I think I tried once or whatever with it not showing, but yes good to have it showing at least for a few seconds, so can change to another option if wanting to | 15:53 |
| airtonix | regjava, no. i mean yes... | 15:53 |
| sebsebseb | regjava: of course it has network support, what kind of network support are you after though? | 15:53 |
| freakynl | regjava: oc not. we always walk to a windows box, download the updates, put them on usb and then bring them to ubuntu :P | 15:53 |
| airtonix | regjava, but that isn't your real question is it | 15:53 |
| regjava | How do i access other computers on the lan | 15:54 |

| kevin1093 | yes | 16:07 |
| BTR | Hey I want to get unbunto version how | 16:07 |
| manish | hi! i am having difficulty in accessing the other partitions from most of my applications...and even the file manager. can someone tell me how can i fix this...m using xubuntu 9.10. | 16:07 |
| MrUnix | kevin1093, then the application bar at the bottom should already be on your desktop. You can add more by adding panels. | 16:07 |
| sebsebseb | BTR: first you need to download the ISO and burn to CD, or you can get them to send you a free CD | 16:07 |
| IdleOne | JeoMAN: /server irc.spotchat.org | 16:07 |
| MrUnix | !xubuntu | manish | 16:07 |
| ubottu | manish: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 16:07 |
| kinja-sheep | JeoMAN: /server irc.spotchat.org (then you type in "/j #linuxmint-help" | 16:08 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: i do not think it happed when i first installed ubuntu.. so i suspect flash may have something to do with it .. and yet i installed ubuntu unsupported extras | 16:08 |
| mediaprodigy_ | yes* | 16:08 |
| Skeptic | ubuntu doesn't boot from the usb stick on a d510mo motherboard | 16:08 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: ok the way you got Flash is fine | 16:08 |
| FiReSTaRT | manish: you may have more luck in #xubuntu or #thunar (thunar is the default xfce file manager) | 16:08 |
| kevin1093 | MrUnix i think you are talking to the wrong guy: you want to talk to kevinj615 | 16:08 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: ,but Adobe Flash is closed source, and so not much can be done about it's issues | 16:08 |
| DemoOn | can anybody help me with this issue? Some of the ray icons arent transperent | 16:08 |
| DemoOn | tray | 16:08 |
| MrUnix | kevin1093, LOL, my bad | 16:08 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: also i do have a XP and ubuntu selection screen | 16:08 |
| MrUnix | Damn you kevins... all lookin the same and junk | 16:08 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: luckily their are alternatives to Flash that might be good enough for your useage, Gnash and Flash. their are also alternative browsers were Flash works better on Ubuntu | 16:08 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: uh Gnash and Swfdec above | 16:09 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: do you recommend reinstalling ubuntu? | 16:09 |
| cla_ | kinja-sheep, if i have 2 computers, the 1st one shared the script to the 2nd computer, how can i run the script from the 1st computer? not with the 2nd computer.. is that possible? | 16:09 |
| MrUnix | sebsebseb, Flash is an alternative to flash? McAwesome | 16:09 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: you already tried that didn't you? | 16:09 |
| kevinj615 | lol | 16:09 |
| Skeptic | why wouldn't ubuntu boot on a d510mo? | 16:10 |
| manish | FiReSTaRT : but the other apps? like, i if i try to use a wallpaper from the other partition, it won't be on after restart.....i guess it requires previliges everytime...can't anythingnbe done?? | 16:10 |
| cla_ | kinja-sheep, if i have 2 computers, the 1st one shared the script to the 2nd computer, how can i make the 2nd computer run the script from the 1st computer? not with the 2nd computer.. is that possible? | 16:10 |
| kinja-sheep | cla_: What script? Some commands (ie rsync) allows you to switch paths (from target to host, or vice versa). | 16:10 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: i installed adobe flash, then uninstalled it.. and then reinstalled ubuntu unsupported extras.. not sure if i uninstalled everything.. librarys.. and such | 16:10 |
| CAPcap | ok so I'm having media player problems, it seem that if i can find a player that will play my m4a itunes songs it will not/cannot manage my library at all or easily they all seem to be miniplayers. Full cataloguing players with lots of tools cant seem to play them. recommend a program? | 16:10 |
| sebsebseb | BTR: good idea to check ISO before burning contents to CD yeah | 16:11 |
| sebsebseb | !md5sum | BTR | 16:11 |
| ubottu | BTR: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 16:11 |
| sebsebseb | BTR: if you get from a torrent it's probably fine though | 16:11 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: thanks | 16:11 |
| BTR | ok | 16:11 |

| jtrimmer | I might be in the wrong place to ask this question and if so please excuse me. I have 5 servers at our central office 2 running ubuntu 3 running other flavors. We have a site2site vpn which connects our remote office into our domain controller and all of our internal resources. Well my problem is this. I can ping and connect to every device from the remote office except the ubuntu boxes. I've | 16:14 |
| jtrimmer | checked iptables and it is flushed and I can ping the box from the central box. Any suggestions what I might check? | 16:14 |

| winyath | zX | 16:14 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: there are a few ways you can install Adobe Flash into Ubuntu, and whichever way you choose, you are likely to get the same issue/s | 16:14 |
| mediaprodigy_ | DemoOn: in ubuntu unsupported extras you get Flash.. so I would uninstall unse: then install Gnash when i need flash and so forth and so on.. | 16:14 |
| riktking | jrib, ive deleted it? is that a problem | 16:14 |

| ubottu | Guest52843, please see my private message | 16:15 |
| mediaprodigy_ | sebsebseb: I assume that Gnash does not have these issues? | 16:15 |
| riktking | jrib, well ive stopped a program that was producing another log file that was getting to be near to similar size and no xsession log had been recreated | 16:15 |
| CAPcap | jrib i have rhythmbox still wont play them, i spent like 2 hours testing various media players last night, my problem is the ones that play m4a dont have library management tools which i need because i have thousands of songs | 16:15 |
| mediaprodigy_ | DemoOn: i do not have that transparency issue. | 16:16 |
| sebsebseb | mediaprodigy_: Gnash is from the Free Software Foundation, Swfdec is from the open source community, both aren't as good as Adobe Flash, but they might be good enough for your Flash useage | 16:16 |

| mediaprodigy_ | DemoOn: What video card? | 16:22 |
| sebsebseb | anil56554: this Chrome stuff is getting at me a bit, because even though Firefox might get issues with Adobe Flash on Ubuntu, it's the one we should be supporting the most, since it's a good number two, and has most of the market share after all versons of IE put together. a version of IE on it's own though and well Firefox actsauly has more market share these days | 16:22 |
| usuario | qe pasa | 16:22 |
| sebsebseb | anil56554: whoops that was wrong above, I meant to put, IE has most market share still, but only when it's more than one version | 16:22 |

| Migs | okay | 16:23 |
| anil56554 | chrome extension are also growing fast | 16:24 |
| theadmin | Migs: Most likely it should be deb http://repo.mindtouch.com karmic main | 16:24 |
| diddly | hi is there a way to list packages i have installed, but not their deps? | 16:24 |
| Migs | there's no /karmic directory | 16:24 |
| sebsebseb | ZykoticK9: maybe so, but quite a lot of web developers don't test in loads of popular browsers like they are meant to, in fact there are still doing websites only for IE. they will make a website for the browser that they think has most market share etc. anyway this is off topic. | 16:24 |
| theadmin | Migs: It's not a directory, it's a repo line %) Try this. If it doesn't work, try also karmic universe and karmic multiverse. If still, something's wrong with this repo | 16:25 |

| sebsebseb | sdf23: the upgrade to 9.10 might go wrong, plus you don't get Grub 2 on upgrade, and I assume you done Ext3 for 9.04 since that's default, that won't get converted to Ext4 on upgrade, but you don't really need that anyway | 16:30 |
| vikasap | sebsebseb: I dont have any other CD for the moment. I could upgrade it later once done with initial bot | 16:30 |

| Xfact1 | Picnik online photo editor does not working on my PC, I am using Ubuntu 9.10, I have latest flash player installed, I use latest Firefox and I have descent hardware, after uploading a picture to edit, my browser is freezing, anyone can tell me solution? (if you never heard about picnik before, then http://www.picnik.com/ will help you) | 16:40 |
| Diverdude | IdleOne, Hmm i dont recall so...but i cannot say it does not | 16:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: ok it's FLash | 16:41 |
| theadmin | Xfact1: Maybe you need Java too | 16:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: Adobe Flash messe's up in FIrefox on Ubuntu, when it comes to some of us | 16:41 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: it can make the browser freeze or close down, that kind of thing | 16:41 |
| usr13 | CAPcap: I just did. It works ok. | 16:41 |
| theadmin | Xfact1: Ah I know. Flash + Firefox + UPloading on Ubuntu = Freeze | 16:41 |
| raven | need a simple DATA COUNTER für umts (perhaps as panel-plugin) | 16:41 |
| Xfact1 | sebsebseb: yea, then which alternative I should use to run flash files? | 16:41 |
| usr13 | CAPcap: Did you try what I said? | 16:41 |
| duffydack | theadmin, yeah i have noticed that before. | 16:42 |
| theadmin | Xfact1: Well... there is some free flash alternative in the repoes, but I forgot the name | 16:42 |
| duffydack | theadmin, in fact its any browser with flash and uploading | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: you can try Gnash and Swfdec as alternatives to Flash, but they probably aren't quite good enough for your usage, you can also use Adobe Flash the Mozilla one in other browsers that use it, such as Epiphany sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser or Galeon | 16:42 |
| IdleOne | Diverdude: does matlab have a help forum you can post to? I really don't know how to help you with this issue, sorry | 16:42 |
| Xfact1 | v yea, it's doesn't need java, and thats mean we have got a notable *bug* on ubuntu karmic! | 16:42 |
| CAPcap | usr13: what did u say to try | 16:42 |
| CAPcap | ? | 16:42 |
| theadmin | duffydack: I only tried Firefox :D | 16:42 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: no | 16:43 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: Adobe Flash is closed source, only Adobe can fix it for Ubuntu | 16:43 |
| Diverdude | IdleOne, Its strange because i never had this sort of problem when running matlab from windows....And it does not help to restart matlab. I have to restart the entire system | 16:43 |
| aha | guys how do I go back in the terminal without quiting irssi? | 16:43 |
| usr13 | CAPcap: Scroll up | 16:43 |
| CAPcap | i cant find what u said thats why im asking | 16:44 |
| sebsebseb | Xfact1: however I think there's some kind of plugin issue with Firefox, hence that Flash issue. basically a plugin doesn't work properly, and then the browser goes wrong | 16:44 |
| diago | can I disable the notification that popup? | 16:44 |
| usr13 | CAPcap: firefox http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2010/01/20/am.carroll.haiti.aftershocks.cnn&hpt=C1 # From terminal - watch for errors - tell us what you see. | 16:44 |

| jenda | For example, my firefox crashes when trying to play a video or sound while amarok is running. | 17:11 |
| goruka | jenda, no, there is no way and it's default in ubuntu. remove it and all gnome stuff stops working properly | 17:12 |
| usr13 | CAPcap: Have you tryed just rebooting? | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | jenda: there is a way to remove pulseaudio, but it's probably not really the best idea, since other things can mess up as a result | 17:12 |
| goruka | jenda, and i agree, incredibly stupid decision given how buggy pulseaudio always is | 17:12 |
| pif | what is root's default passwd on a newly installed system? | 17:12 |
| CAPcap | usr13 i tried watching last night, didnt work. shut down my computer overnight and started up this morning. still not working | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | jenda: try Flash in another browser instead of Firefox | 17:13 |
| goruka | also HELP! I'm on ubuntu 9.10 and i did the latest recommended update, then restarted and now netorking is _incredibly_ slow. This computer with windows on the same subnet works fine... | 17:13 |
| jenda | goruka: indeed, I have been having trouble with it every since it was added. | 17:13 |
| sebsebseb | jenda: Adobe Flash gets issues in Firefox in Ubuntu for some users | 17:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | jenda, i DO NOT RECOMMEND it - but removing pulse info at http://paste.ubuntu.com/359627/ --- first off, you're dramatically chaning Ubuntu. secondly, you won't have the default volume meter in system tray anymore | 17:13 |
| goruka | jenda, same here | 17:14 |
| erUSUL | !root | pif | 17:14 |
| goruka | jenda, pulseaudio is more trouble than benefits so far for ubuntu | 17:14 |
| ubottu | pif: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 17:14 |
| goruka | jenda, hope they realize that soon | 17:14 |

| sebsebseb | Disconnect: oh it is Ubuntu One, ok I don't use it myself, and there is a specific channel for it | 17:15 |
| jenda | sebsebseb: right, saw that | 17:15 |
| pif | when I try "sudo <command>" it complains I am not in the sudoers file... | 17:15 |
| sebsebseb | !one | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ | 17:15 |
| jenda | sebsebseb: the same problem occurs with VLC and Fallout 2 in wine, though, so I don't think it's flash related. | 17:15 |
| codise | pulseaudio is also overly CPU consuming on netbooks with atom-processors. | 17:16 |

| sebsebseb | tlir: there is bound to be a ppa on launchpad for a later kernel for 8.04, however it's ueasuly best for people to stay with the standard kernels. plus since ppa's aren't fully supported shoudn't get loads of them, and they might cause issues when you upgrade Ubuntu | 17:35 |

| tlir | sebsebseb: yeah, it's available | 17:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | kyle6513, that's pretty standard, it's the available color depths | 17:40 |
| sebsebseb | install it then if you want | 17:40 |
| tlir | sebsebseb: and the bug isn't related to mysql, it's related to the kernel. | 17:40 |

| ZykoticK9 | usr13, i'm in Canada, so NO for me | 17:41 |
| trism | usr13: hulu works fine on ubuntu | 17:41 |
| sebsebseb | CAPcap: if you want to do a Windows browser under Wine, well FIrefox :) and maybe change the user agent so it says Linux rather than Windows, so you don't help with Windows browser market share :D | 17:41 |
| usr13 | ZykoticK9, CAPcap, Does hulu play NBC videos? | 17:41 |

| arunb | my vlc is hanging frequently in karmic | 17:48 |
| sebsebseb | fosa: 9.04 to 9.10 upgrades can go wrong, and have done on quite a lot of people. and there isn't anything properly worth it in 9.10 | 17:48 |
| goruka | how can ubutu 9.10 be _so_ plagued with bugs? | 17:48 |
| sebsebseb | fosa: if got a slightly older version already on there | 17:48 |
| arunb | any idea abt it? | 17:48 |

| Nameless_au | when did ext4 come into use? | 17:50 |
| Nameless_au | 9.10? | 17:50 |
| sebsebseb | fosa: there is a way to get Grub 2 after a 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade, and a way to convert Ext3 to Ext4, but it seems that really to get the proper thing a new partition would have to be made | 17:50 |
| === spotter is now known as shaya | ||
| sebsebseb | Nameless_au: it's optional for 9.04, just not perfectly stable their, since the kernel 9.04 uses and such | 17:50 |

| Nameless_au | kyle6513: and the way i got grub working again after installing windows 7 :P | 17:54 |
| Clint_ | i just tried it and its emtpy is tht good | 17:54 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: even 50GB is well rather much for a Ubuntu / when there's a big seperate home | 17:54 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, Grub2 has been the reason for my nightmares as of late, but, I like the new ability to graphically enhance it ;D | 17:54 |

| inManix | so how would you best use that space? | 17:55 |
| Nameless_au | kyle6513: i see - i'm still using grub 1.5 - thanks for the tip tho (mental note to self: stay with 9.04 :P ) | 17:55 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, TBH if you are a gaming xp is your best option | 17:55 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: there are some pretty good native games for Desktop Linux as well :) plus can get a lot of stuff working quite nicely in Wine, and quite a bit will just work nicely these days | 17:55 |
| inManix | yeah i know, my gaming demands are high, but i play older games | 17:56 |

| quarkup | its a fps+rts+mmo game | 17:56 |
| quarkup | great | 17:56 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: well older games have more of a chance at working rather properly in Wine these days, it seems | 17:56 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, Its not SO bad, its just to edit grub theres 5 other files and they have to be compiled as of sorts, its a bit more confusing, but so much better | 17:56 |

| kyle6513 | sebsebseb, I had half life 2 game running in wine :) just at 12 fps T.T | 17:57 |
| trism | pif: it shouldn't ever ask you for a root password, it is probably asking for your password to confirm that you should autologin | 17:57 |
| Nameless_au | a bit off-topic, but is it better to use wine or play a game in a windows VM? | 17:57 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: 10GB | 17:57 |
| inManix | ill just spend the rest between home and xp | 17:57 |

| quarkup | inManix: 16G is recommended and also use symlinks for the musik folder, image folder etc.. | 17:57 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: give it a little bit more than 10GB if you want, but you will probably find it doesn't get any where near filling up | 17:57 |
| quarkup | so you won't need more space to see your images in another partitions | 17:57 |

| inManix | so for a good solid installation with plenty of room | 17:58 |
| inManix | 12gb? | 17:58 |
| goruka | ubottu, gracias | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: 12GB / is fine yes | 17:58 |
| luna | srf | 17:58 |
| inManix | awesome | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: big seperate /home yep | 17:58 |
| inManix | one noob question....the values in partition programs | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: and a bit of swap space | 17:59 |
| inManix | why do they lie | 17:59 |
| gmendoza | goruka: what version are you running? | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: the partition sizes are done in mb | 17:59 |
| luna | in spansh please | 17:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | Nameless_au, gaming in a VM is close to impossible (terrible performance) - wine is the way to go | 17:59 |
| fosa | thanks sebsebseb :) | 18:00 |
| luna | in spanish please | 18:00 |
| asdshdskjauehjz | hello guys if i start my iptables script i get this"iptables v1.4.2: Couldn't load match `layer7':/lib/xtables/libipt_layer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" can somebody help me pleas | 18:00 |
| Nameless_au | ZykoticK9: ok, just that every time i've tried to use wine i could never get it working... i was just wondering | 18:00 |
| luna | no te entiendo | 18:00 |
| sipior | !es > luna | 18:00 |
| ubottu | luna, please see my private message | 18:00 |
| === asdshdskjauehjz is now known as yucatan | ||
| yucatan | somebody.. | 18:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | Nameless_au, you might want to try play-on-linux - just a front end for installing/running wine apps (also verify on the wine app db the game/program you are trying) | 18:01 |
| gmendoza | asdshdskjauehjz: where did you get the script? | 18:01 |
| inManix | you say 10,000, it sais 9950 | 18:01 |
| inManix | the values are never right, and 15 gig goes missing straight after format | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: oh right that | 18:02 |
| goruka | gmendoza, networking is unusable, and nvidia driver doesn't load by default (modprobe works, but it wont load it by default) | 18:02 |
| Nameless_au | ZykoticK9: cool, i'll try out your suggestion (not that i really need to - i have a multiboot system) | 18:02 |
| Nameless_au | i was just trying it out for the sake of it one day | 18:02 |
| goruka | gmendoza, which means i can't log in to my computer locally or remotelly | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: so you could have a 250GB hard disk, but a partition program might say you got like 230GB | 18:02 |
| sipior | inManix: if you're using an ext filesystem, check out the -m switch to tune2fs to set the reserved blocks percentage to 0. | 18:02 |
| sebsebseb | sipior: what's that? | 18:03 |
| inManix | right well im gparting now | 18:03 |
| gmendoza | goruka: Do you have access to the computer right now? | 18:03 |
| sipior | sebsebseb: by default (historically), 5% of a filesystem was reserved for the root user only. | 18:03 |
| inManix | i want a primary ext4 12gb for ubuntu? | 18:03 |
| sipior | sebsebseb: with modern filesystem sizes, this is obviously no longer appropriate :-) | 18:04 |
| Nameless_au | sipior: ok, then why does it also give a false value in a windows OS? | 18:04 |
| Nameless_au | same reason? | 18:04 |
| sipior | Nameless_au: which false value? | 18:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | Nameless_au, 1 does not equal 1 when you are talking about size in HD or memory | 18:04 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: yes go with Ext4, oh and good idea to backup any important data from your hard disk, whatever file system you use, hard disks can go wrong and sometimes file systems as well | 18:04 |
| luna | hello | 18:04 |
| Nameless_au | sipior: well if i have a 10Gb partition, windows will say it's smaller than that | 18:04 |
| sipior | Nameless_au: probably because there are two definitions of "Gigabyte" (2^30 bytes, and 10^9 bytes) | 18:04 |
| Chousuke | Nameless_au: it's not a false value, it's just a different way of counting | 18:04 |
| inManix | sebsebseb: im just running a fresh install of xp | 18:05 |
| inManix | nothing else has happened | 18:05 |
| pif | I disables all the lock_ keys from /apps/gnome-power-manager yet I still have a password prompt on resume... | 18:05 |
| inManix | :) | 18:05 |
| Nameless_au | ah gotcha | 18:05 |
| goruka | gmendoza, i can't shell because networking is for a strange reason incredibly slow after the latest update | 18:05 |
| inManix | so i want primary instead of extended? | 18:05 |
| Chousuke | Nameless_au: Hard drive makers use SI units (makes HD sizes look larger) and most OSes report the size using conventional power-of-two units | 18:05 |
| goruka | gmendoza, and nvidia driver module works but does't load on startup, so X crashes | 18:05 |
| quarkup | hey is picasa open-source ? | 18:05 |
| Nameless_au | 2^30 would be more appropriate would it not (since we're dealing with binary)? | 18:05 |
| goruka | gmendoza, maybe i can enter in some sort of safe (nondisplay) mode? | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | quarkup: no it's not | 18:06 |
| quarkup | :s | 18:06 |
| Slart | quarkup: I don't think so | 18:06 |
| quarkup | :'( | 18:06 |
| sipior | Nameless_au: yes, but the "giga" prefix has a certain implication. | 18:06 |
| quarkup | should be easy to port it to linux :s | 18:06 |
| quarkup | anyway | 18:06 |
| Chousuke | Nameless_au: the power-of-two units should be called "MiB" "GiB" etc. | 18:06 |
| yucatan | hello guys if i start my iptables script i get this"iptables v1.4.2: Couldn't load match `layer7':/lib/xtables/libipt_layer7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" can somebody help me pleas | 18:06 |
| sebsebseb | quarkup: there already is a version, however it needs their special version of Wine, if I remember correctly | 18:06 |
| kyle6513 | anyone who can help me in getting a custom resolution to display? | 18:06 |
| Gadget3000 | quarkup: picasa is available for linux already | 18:06 |
| gmendoza | goruka: I'm going to PM you if you dont mind... better to keep track... | 18:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | quarkup, although picasa is not opensource, there is already a linux version (it uses wine) | 18:07 |
| goruka | gmendoza, sure | 18:07 |
| Gadget3000 | quarkup: http://picasa.google.co.uk/linux/ | 18:07 |
| inManix | what is the difference between a primary and an extended partition? | 18:07 |
| quarkup | hey | 18:07 |
| Nameless_au | Chousuke: how would that be read out aloud? still 'megabyte', 'gigabyte'...? | 18:07 |
| quarkup | it is not linux native. it has not been ported to linux | 18:07 |
| Chousuke | Nameless_au: Binary megabyte I guess | 18:07 |
| quarkup | just has the wine bundled xD | 18:07 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: an extended will hold other partitions inside it, you need that if you got I think it's more than four partitions | 18:07 |
| Chousuke | Nameless_au: but most people would just say megabyte :P | 18:08 |
| quarkup | i was talking about the port | 18:08 |
| quarkup | :D | 18:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | inManix, most BIOSs can only recognize 4 primary partitions, so extended partitions are used to get past the 4 partition limit | 18:08 |
| antonio_ | hello everybody! does anyone know where do i have to put a script in order to make it run on every startup^ | 18:08 |
| inManix | primary it is then | 18:08 |
| antonio_ | ? | 18:08 |
| Chousuke | inManix: primary/logical makes no difference to Linux, really. | 18:08 |
| Nameless_au | Chousuke: i've seen MiB in text before, thought it was either a typo or some weird european convention lol... thanks ! | 18:08 |
| sipior | Nameless_au: technically, "mebibyte" and "gibibyte", i believe. i think there's a reason they haven't caught on wildly... | 18:08 |
| inManix | sebsebseb: so which partitions do i need made prior to installation? im doing 100gig xp NTFS, 100gig for /home ext4, 12gig ext4 for ubuntu | 18:08 |
| inManix | do i need to make swap partition now? | 18:08 |
| Nameless_au | sipior: now that is interesting! | 18:09 |
| kyle6513 | sipior, i always thought it meant gigabit then i learnt there was a difference between Gb and GB | 18:09 |
| Chousuke | inManix: You can make a swap partition but if you forget it you can always use a swap file. | 18:09 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: is SWAP needed or not is one question, another is how big should it be. it depends on RAM, and if people want to hibernate and such | 18:09 |
| inManix | well im on 2gig ram and looking to do 'some' gaming | 18:10 |
| Nameless_au | kyle6513: i doubt most ppl know there is a difference b/n Gb and GB | 18:10 |
| inManix | some people say none, some say 4gig... | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: 4GB SWAP partition, but you probably don't really need it | 18:10 |
| Chousuke | inManix: are you ever going to hibernate the system? | 18:10 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: unless your going to hibernate of course | 18:10 |
| Chousuke | inManix: if not, make it half a GB :P | 18:10 |
| Chousuke | inManix: you can always extend it later | 18:10 |
| Chousuke | inManix: by adding swap files | 18:10 |
| inManix | i dont like how 'to hibernate or not to hibernate' is such a decision | 18:10 |
| inManix | its scary | 18:10 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, yeah >.< but one is just bandwidth where one is size so i guess not many would need it, but these two terms do decieve you when you go buy an internet connection | 18:10 |
| inManix | lets just assume im not going to hibernate | 18:11 |
| Chousuke | inManix: well, I think that's not a problem either. You should be able to hibernate to swap files | 18:11 |
| inManix | how much i need? 500mb is optimum? | 18:11 |
| Nameless_au | kyle6513: indeed | 18:11 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, hibernate is mostly just for laptops | 18:11 |
| Chousuke | inManix: you can always add more if you run out :) | 18:11 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 18:11 |
| Nameless_au | so mb = millibit? :P | 18:11 |
| pdlnhrd | what would be a reason packages are held back during an upgrade.... i just tried to upgrade and my xorg is broke now | 18:11 |
| Nameless_au | ignore that | 18:11 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, xD | 18:11 |
| inManix | sure, 500 partition being made lol | 18:11 |
| Chousuke | inManix: though if you go and fill half a gigabyte of swap on a desktop... you need to buy more RAM | 18:11 |
| kyle6513 | pdlnhrd, T.T | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | pdlnhrd: the package is made but the deps it needs are not satisfiable yet | 18:12 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: i'm not able to fix some problems ..i'll change distribution so...are there any config file i can save? mail... msn ecc ? | 18:12 |
| Chousuke | inManix: because if you really are actively swapping to that half a gigabyte, performance will be horrible. | 18:12 |
| tuv0k | anyone else notice using a laptop after resume with a ath5k driver for atheros card you have no connection using wicd, and network-manager can't keep a connection for more than 1miunte, which is why I'm using wicd to begin with? | 18:12 |
| pdlnhrd | ActionParsnip: is there a way to rescue my xserver ? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: most are the hidden folders in $HOME but some files in /etc are useful | 18:13 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: i know... like? | 18:13 |
| Chousuke | inManix: on modern systems with gigabytes of RAM, swap is mostly there to prevent the kernel from freaking out in case you happen to temporarily run out of memory | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | pdlhrd: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg may help | 18:13 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: mutt.rc then? | 18:13 |
| inManix | cool cool | 18:13 |
| inManix | so when i type in 100,000mb and it says 97.65 gib, just ignore it | 18:14 |
| rek | cool.. pool going to the pool is cool | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: smb.conf hosts dnsmasq.conf files like that. i dont know your system so cannot speculate | 18:14 |
| pdlnhrd | ActionParsnip: thank you | 18:14 |
| yucatan | why i cant get in #debian and #linux? | 18:14 |
| hiexpo | tuvok use thestandard network manager its better for those cards | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: anything you think you need, grab it. you should have them backed up anyway | 18:14 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: i have mostly audio problems | 18:14 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, that is if you are attempting to make a 100gb patition then yes, you see, we cannot have exactly 100gb due to the way computers work | 18:15 |
| NickWebHA | exit | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: got an audigy sound card by any chance? | 18:15 |
| inManix | the final useless question | 18:16 |
| gharz | guys, i've installed ubuntu using wubi... having problem with grub when i restart after updating the kernel... i'm reading a post ... how do i know which /dev/sdXY (parition) should i choose? | 18:16 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: what? asus mobo | 18:16 |
| inManix | what do people label partitions? | 18:16 |
| inManix | :D | 18:16 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, / for root, swap for swap and /home for home | 18:16 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: i've also problems with my nvidia gts 2 my sys crashes.... the graphic and i need to reset | 18:16 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, atleast, thats the MOUNT point >.< | 18:17 |
| rek | sometimes ActionParsnip mp3s don't work or flash player doesn't work i'm sad | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | inmanix: i rarely do. if i do its what the partition stores for me but you can call it whatever you want | 18:17 |
| kyle6513 | is it possible to make a button turn the backlight off on my laptops screen, like in windows? at the moment it just turns all colours off | 18:17 |
| Nameless_au | im glad i didnt upgrade to 9.10 | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: i see | 18:17 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, why? | 18:18 |
| clever | kyle6513: try 'sleep 5;xset dpms force off' | 18:18 |
| Nameless_au | kyle6513: cos it took me long enough to get this running how i wanted and fixing/working around all the bugs | 18:18 |
| kyle6513 | clever, how would i bind that to a key | 18:18 |
| gharz | whenever i try to boot... i'm getting a kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1)... anyone? | 18:18 |
| inManix | 12gb /, 100gb /home, 500mb swap (all ext4), 125gb ntfs windows! finally | 18:18 |
| inManix | off i go | 18:18 |
| kyle6513 | Nameless_au, ah i see | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: try jaunty instead. its more mature | 18:18 |
| clever | kyle6513: make a button for it on gnome-panel and maybe bind a key to it from there | 18:19 |
| Nameless_au | sounds like 9.10 is very buggy | 18:19 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: mature? we like teens | 18:19 |
| max_ | lol | 18:19 |
| kyle6513 | clever, ah okay ^-^ | 18:19 |
| rek | lol | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: its been around longer | 18:19 |
| CloneDeath | Hello? | 18:19 |
| cxo | I've got a message saying that one of my disks has too many bad sectors. I have multiple drives of the same make and model, How do i identify which one has the error? | 18:19 |
| max_ | your resistance only makes my penis harder | 18:19 |
| kyle6513 | clever, when i move my mouse will i get my screen back? doesnt seem to be anything there to say if i move my mouse or anything that it should start back up again | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | clonedeath | 18:19 |
| ubottu | clonedeath: 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! | 18:19 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: what? in 9.10 i cant use nvidia-glx ! so i must keep hardy heron | 18:20 |
| clever | kyle6513: moving the mouse or touching any key will wake it back up | 18:20 |
| CloneDeath | Same, I get like over 65K bad sectors | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | cxo: boot to livecd and fsck the disks | 18:20 |
| clever | kyle6513: including just letting go of the mouse after you click the button | 18:20 |
| kyle6513 | clever, is this just putting the laptop into sleep? | 18:20 |
| clever | kyle6513: the whole system stays on, it just turns the video off | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: no, you use nvidia-glx-185 | 18:20 |
| x-frog | clear | 18:20 |
| kyle6513 | clever, ah, exactly what i wanted, this goes in terminal no? | 18:20 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: what was your term.... blood ... i mean when u said about electronics | 18:20 |
| clever | kyle6513: yep | 18:20 |
| kyle6513 | clever, alright thanks :) | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: bleeding edge. it was you whom mentioned electronics | 18:21 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: nvidia-glx-185 does not work no prop. driv in use that's why i downgraded to 8.10 | 18:21 |
| x-frog | i just did a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10...im currently in term mode i cant start x...is there a way to load the nvidia driver from the terminal | 18:21 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: tried the nvidia ppa? you can try the 195 driver | 18:21 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: yeah bleeding edge's cool but also retro computers.... i have some c64. do you? | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | x-frog: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 18:22 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: what's ppa | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | 18:22 |
| ubottu | With Launchpad's Personal Package Archives (PPA), you can build and publish binary Ubuntu packages for multiple architectures simply by uploading an Ubuntu source package to Launchpad. See https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart. | 18:22 |

| JDahl | I configured dual monitors in twinview with nvidia-settings and I saved the configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but everytime I reboot, only one monitor is active and I have to run nvidia-settings. How can I avoid that? | 18:23 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: guntbrt would get angry isn't it? | 18:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | JDahl, are you running "gksu nvidia-settings" and are you sure you aren't getting an error when you save? | 18:24 |

| phobos_ | plz which is the port for no-ip because i have modify my firewall and i doesn't work (sorry for my bad english) | 18:24 |
| JDahl | ZykoticK9, I run sudo nvidia-settings, I don't get any errors, and I even removed the old xorg.conf to make sure that only a completely fresh version is installed. | 18:25 |

| inManix | Hey guys, one quick question, iv made the 12gig ext4 partition with gparted, iv chosen it about to install to it, does it need to be formatted? | 18:27 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: why does the automount work only with gnome? | 18:27 |
| Plouj | hi | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | umbongiovanni: sure you can | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: no idea. i dont use it | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: well it's a new partition, a blank one, but sure you can do the tick on format | 18:27 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: is i sptitude get kde what will i get 4 ? | 18:27 |
| Slart | Umbongiovanni: that might depend on the apps you have installed.. I'm not sure if Gnome has updated it's config files between the versions.. things might end up being weird | 18:28 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: config problems? where? | 18:28 |
| Plouj | is there an automatic random wallpaper changer in the Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS repositories? | 18:28 |
| inManix | sebsebseb: if it would let me.. | 18:28 |
| rek | ciao giovanni | 18:28 |
| jiohdi | inManix: if its ext4 then it is already formatted | 18:28 |
| sebsebseb | Umbongiovanni: well yes, but you might want to do your home in Ext4 since that's the default file system for 9.10. which also means you might want to put 9.10 on instead of 9.04 | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rek: that wasnt english | 18:28 |
| rek | ActionParsnip: are you like guntbert | 18:28 |
| Umbongiovanni | ciao rek | 18:28 |

| sebsebseb | phong_: hi | 18:37 |
| Slart | phobos_: from their site it seems that updating the ip is done by using a plain old HTTP GET | 18:37 |

| Umbongiovanni | is it ok an ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent for a core 2 duo E7300? | 18:38 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, restarted your computer? O.o | 18:38 |

| inManix | so ext4 journal filing system for / and /home, swap area for swap | 18:39 |
| inManix | gotcha | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | kyle6513: well they aren't a big deal at all, unless something is doing something that takes up a lot of resources or something | 18:39 |

| sebsebseb | kyle6513: someone not something above | 18:39 |
| kyle6513 | Slart, haha, yeah, manages processes better right? | 18:39 |
| kyle6513 | sebsebseb, so, better for gaming and such or? | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | inManix: Ext4 journerling file system for / and /home and Linux swap for the swap | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | kyle6513: for some games I guess so | 18:40 |
| inManix | sebsebseb: sais 'swap area' for swap, and im not mounting it anywhere right? | 18:40 |
| kyle6513 | sebsebseb, so more for like, rendering and such? cpu intensive types of things? | 18:40 |
| Slart | kyle6513: ehm.. not that I've noticed.. from a blurry eyed user point-of-view it's the same as 32bit.. but you can use more memory..they say it's a little faster with some stuff as well | 18:40 |
| KaZeR | ++ | 18:40 |
| kyle6513 | inManix, that is correct | 18:40 |
| jada | what is number of connection, a) torrents file downloading or b) maximum peers per torrent? Loose internet connection after a few minutes when downloading torrentfile | 18:40 |
| sebsebseb | kyle6513: yes more for stuff that uses a lot of CPU power and such | 18:40 |

| Slart | afeijo: which is basically what nibbler told you a minute ago.. | 18:51 |
| hiexpo | matr]x have you done all the updates sudo apt-get update than update manager first | 18:51 |
| Matr|x | nop | 18:51 |
| kyle6513 | sebsebseb, and you do it over the internet, they were there in person. | 18:51 |
| Matr|x | i still downloading media upntu | 18:51 |
| freku | maybe he didnt plug in the soundconnector | 18:52 |
| freku | :) | 18:52 |
| CAPcap | wheres a good place to find more stations for Internet radio that i can play from rhythmbox? | 18:52 |
| kyle6513 | freku, no, already asked that ;P | 18:52 |
| Matr|x | nop | 18:52 |
| hiexpo | do them first that will probally solve your probs | 18:52 |
| Matr|x | evry thing is alright but i think its somthing block tthe sound | 18:52 |
| virgile | ouch, land of some damage => [ ] | 18:52 |
| Anusien | What happens if the machine restarts during a dist-upgrade? | 18:52 |
| kyle6513 | CAPcap, I want some australian radio stations :P | 18:52 |
| freku | does sound work with live-cd | 18:52 |
| kyle6513 | Anusien, VERY bad things | 18:53 |
| Slart | Anusien: hopefully you restart and continue your upgrade | 18:53 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: it might be messed up or you can just start it again, in fact there's a way to re start an upgrade if it goes wrong, but I don't know how | 18:53 |
| hiexpo | do sudo apt-get update that will take some time than go to update manager do that than go back and do sudp apt-get upgrade | 18:53 |
| Slart | Anusien: if you haven't made the proper sacrifices lately... well.. then things can get ugly =) | 18:53 |
| Anusien | My machine literally won't respond to anything. I see no display on my LCD, I can't get in with VNC or ssh | 18:53 |
| kyle6513 | oh dear.. | 18:53 |
| Slart | Anusien: try booting with a live cd | 18:54 |
| Anusien | I hear it working, but it's been running this upgrade for like 12 hours, and it's possible it's waiting on some result | 18:54 |
| hiexpo | freku yes usually | 18:54 |
| jellow_ | Anusien: have you tried Ctl - alt and F1 , To get to console? | 18:56 |
| kenyabob | Is it possible to duplicate a hard drive over the network to another drive via samba? | 18:57 |
| jellow_ | kenyabob: Never done it before but you could use netcat and pipe it through samba | 18:58 |
| Slart | kenyabob: I don't think samba offers that kind of info.. you can duplicate the files but the disc structure might be hidden | 18:58 |
| Slart | kenyabob: do you really need to actually "duplicate" the disc? | 18:58 |
| powertoo108 | kenyabob: Clonezilla can copy over the network to a samba share. | 18:58 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: besides i think you dont need to duplicate, you could do it with one step in between easily | 18:58 |
| kenyabob | Slart: I have a machine that I have configured to perfection and now I must change the machine to a new that has an scsi drive that I cannot mount to the old one | 18:59 |
| Slart | kenyabob: oh.. wait nevermind.. you mean make a copy of a local hard drive and place that copy on a samba server? yes.. that would work | 18:59 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: cat /dev/sda > /media/sambashare/target | 18:59 |
| Anusien | jellow_: When I turn on the TV, I get a bouncing no signal | 18:59 |
| Anusien | CTRL-ALT-F1 does nothing | 19:00 |
| RichardLynch | A fresh Ubuntu/Firefox install, and F5 does not reload a web page. Is F5 over-ridden somehwere? It's Gnome desktop. | 19:00 |
| kenyabob | Slart: so I though doing it over the network would work, though I guess I could do it with an external hard drive for both | 19:00 |
| Slart | RichardLynch: it works on my system.. I don't think I've done anything special to my system when it comes to shortcuts | 19:00 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: it is a linux system? | 19:00 |
| cxo | RichardLynch, check if your keyboard has a hotkey switch to get function keys working | 19:01 |
| kenyabob | nibbler: its ubuntu and I want to duplicate it to a blank hard drive on the other machine, essentially just migrating the data from one to the other | 19:01 |
| Slart | kenyabob: the image is basically just a big file.. so samba will work nicely.. or nfs or any kind of file server tech | 19:01 |
| RichardLynch | Oh. Maybe that's it. Stupid Microsoft keyboard... The top of the button says "Open" and the vertical front of the button says F5. Now I have to figure out how to fix this stupid keyboard... | 19:01 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: this is way more easy, you can copy the files, no need to touch the blockdevice (layer wise) - read "harddisk upgrade mini howto" | 19:02 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: You can force a safe restart with ctrl+alt+print screen + R + E + I + S + U + B, the reisub part doesn't have to be held down all at once, just one after another in that order. | 19:02 |
| RichardLynch | F-lock? wft is F-lock? I want to strangle a Microsoft hardware engineer... | 19:02 |
| jellow_ | Anusien: Im confused is the tv using ubuntu? | 19:02 |
| Slart | kenyabob: I'm not sure you can do hard drive to hard drive over samba.. you might have to create an image file first.. ie remote drive-> image file -> local hard drive | 19:02 |
| RichardLynch | Thanks for the help! Sorry it turned out to be faulty hardware. | 19:02 |
| Anusien | jellow_: The TV is my display device, yeah | 19:02 |
| kenyabob | so I create a disk image on the old machine | 19:02 |
| kenyabob | transfer it | 19:03 |
| kanzie | hmm, downloaded the 32-bit Ubuntu and burned on a dvd, put it in my computer and tried to boot but all I get is a prompt saying "boot: " | 19:03 |
| kenyabob | and then restore from the image on the new machien | 19:03 |
| kanzie | if I try to write anything it says "Can not find kernel image linux" | 19:03 |
| guntbert | !md5sum | kanzie | 19:03 |
| ubottu | kanzie: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:03 |
| RichardLynch | Wow. Why does my nick here appear to me as "freenode"? Weird. | 19:03 |
| kenyabob | nibbler: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/? | 19:03 |
| Anusien | powertoo108: I still hear the disk spinning up and occasionally spinning down. Should I just give it some hours until it finishes? | 19:03 |
| Slart | kenyabob: that's what I would try | 19:03 |
| jada | let me put the qustion like this, is it a common problem to loose internet connection while downloading torrent files in os ubuntu | 19:03 |
| === Mud is now known as Mud|game | ||
| ZykoticK9 | jada, no | 19:04 |
| Slart | RichardLynch: no idea why you're freenode on your system.. I see you as RichardLynch | 19:04 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: That command series should immediately reboot it, no waiting involved. | 19:04 |
| RichardLynch | Slart: Local alias in pidgin got set to freenode, for some reason beyond my ken... Sorry about that. | 19:04 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: yep, this. its justabout keeping the permissions to the files etc. if you dont want trouble with bootloader just install a new ubuntu of same type to target pc, and copy over all the directories but /proc /dev/ /boot /sys | 19:04 |
| nucking | hey everyone, i'd like to swap eth0 with eth1 is there a quick way to do that? | 19:04 |
| kenyabob | nibbler: so just read through this and figure out what needs to be copied over and what to forget about | 19:05 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: install target pc, boot it with livedisk then, use rsync to transfer everything | 19:05 |
| RichardLynch | nucking: Open up the box and switch them. Anything else is probably asking for trouble. | 19:05 |
| jada | okei, strange that i never had this problem on windows, but good to know its going to be okei, if i configure it right | 19:05 |
| nibbler | kenyabob: exactly | 19:05 |
| Slart | nucking: check in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules that's where ubuntu stores which network becomes eth0, eth1 and so on.. change it there and reboot | 19:05 |
| nucking | RichardLynch, one is onboard, the other is pci | 19:05 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: Just looked it up, the ctrl key isn't needed just hold alt+print screen the entire time, then reisub one at a time in order | 19:05 |
| nucking | Slart, thanks | 19:05 |
| afeijo | nibbler, sorry, too fast channel | 19:05 |
| RichardLynch | nucking: Maybe down in the BIOS you might find a setting for it... I sure doubt it. | 19:05 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: reisuo will shutdown instead of restarting it. | 19:06 |
| afeijo | nibbler: the user is root | 19:06 |
| nibbler | afeijo: you should have highlighting on lines with your nickname, xchat (and most irc clients) do it by (ubuntu) default | 19:06 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: If that doesn't work, you probably have to do a hard reset. | 19:06 |
| theadmin | What network manager is used in Xubuntu? | 19:06 |
| nibbler | afeijo: sudo crontab -l | 19:06 |
| RichardLynch | nucking: You're asking a hardware question more than software, really... Not sure the right channel, but Ubuntu is too high-level, almost for sure. | 19:06 |
| Anusien | powertoo108: Just wondering if I should do it or let it finish, and what will break if I reboot during this | 19:06 |
| jada | network manager 0.7 in ubuntu | 19:07 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: It shouldn't break anything, but it will kill all running processes. | 19:07 |
| Slart | RichardLynch: Ubuntu maps interface names to .. MAC addresses I think.. it does this the first time it sees them and then saves the result in the udev rules.d folder.. no magic.. just a text file | 19:07 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: http://kember.net/articles/231/reisub-the-gentle-linux-restart | 19:07 |
| guntbert | powertoo108: if I read correctly Anusien is in the middle of a (hung) dist-upgrade | 19:08 |
| Anusien | guntbert: I may or may not be hung. I have no way to monitor its process other than listening ot the hd | 19:09 |
| powertoo108 | guntbert: Oh missed that part. I guess it could break something then? | 19:09 |

| karelm | Hi all. I have an old ibook clamshell (3GB hd, 280MB ram, 300Mhz G3) here and am looking for suggestions on how to optimize it. I was thinking of doing an install using the alternate cd and then run xfce (as gnome is probably too heavy)... any suggestions? | 19:09 |
| rek | hi any program to reproduce the voice? text to speech l | 19:09 |
| nibbler | afeijo: hmm, there is other sources for cronjobs in /etc/cron* but nothing that should be 3-minutely | 19:10 |
| guntbert | Anusien: powertoo108: don't know for myself - just wanted to give you a heads up | 19:10 |
| nibbler | afeijo: no idea then | 19:10 |
| Anusien | guntbert: It seems to me that even if it guns the system, most of the data should be safe, right? | 19:10 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: Well I guess wait as long as you're willing to wait. But this method should fix it. I've only had one instance when the REISUB combo didn't work for me. | 19:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | karelm, that's a PowerPC (vs Intel) be sure whatever OS you use supports PowerPC | 19:10 |
| Anusien | powertoo108: ... what was that instance? | 19:11 |
| === Floops[w]1 is now known as Floops[w] | ||
| jada | what do u guys think, is it a torrent client problem or a configure problem that result in loosing internet connection | 19:11 |
| Slart | karelm: he.. for a second I read.. old ibook.. 3GB memory.. that doesn't sound so old.. or.. wait.. to answer your question.. try openbox or xfce.. or even some of the even leaner linux distros.. arch/DSL/puppylinux | 19:11 |
| erUSUL | !info festival | rek | 19:11 |
| ubottu | rek: festival (source: festival): General multi-lingual speech synthesis system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.96~beta-9ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 865 kB, installed size 2540 kB | 19:11 |
| guntbert | Anusien: yes, the data are always retrieveable - because nothing messes with the file system during an upgrade | 19:11 |
| karelm | ZykoticK9: yeah I know, ubuntu doesn't officially support it anymore but it is there... I actually have xubuntu running at the moment, but I was thinking that an alternate install would be faster...? | 19:11 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: "fix it" bad choice of words, it should restart, despite how frozen it seems, and yes, all hard drive data is safe since its shutdown in a proper way. | 19:11 |
| Anusien | How long should a dist upgrade take? | 19:12 |
| jolaren | I've installed ubuntu minimal installation, how do i install the window manager? like gnome? | 19:12 |
| Slart | Anusien: depends on the hardware, network connection and how much stuff you're upgrading | 19:12 |
| karelm | Slart: I tried lxde (uses openbox). I think its a little lighter but I like xfce more... it has a more polished feel | 19:13 |
| Anusien | Average hardware from two years ago on a large pipe, upgrading just about everything. wondering if 24 hours is reasonable? | 19:13 |
| cxo | karelm, a generic linux kernel supplied with any popular distro will be too much for that thing. Use ubuntu as a base and build your own kernel. | 19:13 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: I don't really remember the specifics. But nothing responded, no ssh, ctrl+alt+f1 didn't work, no clicks on the drive, couldn't even open the cd drives. | 19:13 |
| CAPcap | how do i open an internet radio broadcast from shoutcast with rhythmbox? | 19:13 |
| Slart | Anusien: 24 hours seems a bit exessive.. anything over an hour would make me start troubleshooting | 19:13 |
| guntbert | CAPcap: I think you need a plugin | 19:13 |
| Anusien | The CD drive will open | 19:13 |
| Anusien | Slart: Then I'm officially worried :) | 19:14 |

| Slart | karelm: you might want to remove any unneeded stuff running in the background... not really sure how to decide what to remove.. but try searching the ubuntu forums.. there has to be a "unpimp my ubuntu" thread somewhere | 19:15 |
| Slart | karelm: I think you'll end up with the same system.. the alternate install cd can do some extra tricks.. encrypted partitions and such | 19:15 |

| sniker | Can't find an option for it despite googling? | 19:16 |
| nibbler | domito_: ah, your wrote, sorry | 19:16 |
| karelm | Slart: oh ok, hoped it would really make a difference... I don't really use the system so I can easily do a clean install, no need for backups or anything :) | 19:16 |
| nibbler | domito_: its only true for arp? | 19:17 |
| domito_ | nibbler: all are seen on the bridge and external IF, internal sees only 33% of replies | 19:17 |

| domito_ | erUSUL: I was looking for such a channel, will try :) | 19:18 |
| erUSUL | blakkheim: metacity is the gnome wm | 19:18 |
| jolaren | erUSUL; only the wm | 19:18 |
| blakkheim | erUSUL: metacity is a window manager that's the default in the gnome DE, but there is no window manager called gnome. that's what i meant. | 19:18 |
| Slart | karelm: well.. the installer itself might be a bit different.. I think the alternate cd has a text based installer.. the regular desktop one has prettier pictures | 19:18 |
| erUSUL | jolaren: look for others wm. metacity without gnome is pretty useless. | 19:18 |
| nibbler | domito_: there is special methods which you can apply to generate packetloss, but i guess you didnt play with these? | 19:18 |
| blakkheim | jolaren: look into dwm/awesome/openbox/fluxbox imo | 19:19 |
| karelm | Slart: yes, but when I mean alternate I also mean... no gui to start with, and then build on top of it | 19:19 |
| troopperi | sniker, checked this? http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/skype-21-beta-2-for-linux-released.html | 19:19 |

| powertoo108 | Anusien: If I were in your situation, I'd REISUB it, then see what's broken after the restart. If its pretty messed up, I'd grab the install cd and reinstall. Note: I have /home as its own partition so reinstalling is fast and I don't lose any /home data. Anyway, I've got to go now. Good luck with it. | 19:20 |

| Slart | nibbler: ah.. I think I found something.. there is a "nth" module that lets you do stuff to every nth packet.. thanks for the inspiration =) | 19:22 |
| powertoo108 | Anusien: Well, worse case scenario, your system is trashed, you have to use a live cd to backup /home to an external or something, then reinstall, giving /home its own partition, then move files from your backup. It would be a pain, but its a fixable situation without worries of data loss imo. Yes, you shouldn't have any problems mounting the drives. | 19:22 |
| nibbler | Hilikus: ubuntu one works bit betterwith some ubuntu apps, dropbox is better for different platforms | 19:22 |
| Slart | nibbler: there's also a "random" rule =) | 19:22 |
| nibbler | Slart: welcome | 19:22 |

| dasil003 | Can someone suggest why sudo might not find a command even if it's in the PATH? e.g. http://pastie.org/786952 | 19:23 |
| karelm | Slart: well, as far as I understood, the alternate can install a "command-line system", which assumed is kinda like the minimal cd... except packages are already on the cd... I need to get my install working using my wireless card, so I was afraid the minimal cd wouldn't work... | 19:23 |
| nibbler | Hilikus: guess so, no idea. well and ubuntu one is a bit more open | 19:23 |
| daijoubu | Is it ok to use Ubuntu 9.04 instead of 9.10? Will i still get security updates ? | 19:23 |
| erUSUL | !9.04 | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.04/ - Release Notes: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/904 | 19:23 |
| gerzel | drive is just stuck spinning | 19:24 |
| guntbert | gerzel: uninterruptible means it is waiting on some i/o ... probably on the CD :-( | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | daijoubu: is normal release it will get updates for 18 months | 19:24 |
| Slart | karelm: hmm.. I'm not so sure about that.. I'm pretty sure the desktop and alternate versions install the same systems.. apart from some smaller differences in the installer... then there's a server version which is command line only.. and desktop which is the regular ubuntu install | 19:24 |
| karelm | Slart: I was going to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems | 19:24 |
| gerzel | oh well I gotta restart for updates anyway | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | !eol > daijoubu | 19:24 |
| ubottu | daijoubu, please see my private message | 19:24 |
| karelm | Slart: It says "Disk space on an absolutely minimal installation can be reduced to as little as 600 MB". The xubuntu install is almost the full 3GB I have :p | 19:25 |
| Slart | karelm: yes.. there's a lot of stuff you can remove unless you actually need it.. things like GIMP or openoffice can use up lots of space | 19:26 |
| Slart | karelm: but 3 GB should be plenty for an empty system.. hang on.. I just installed 9.10 regular desktop version in a vm.. let me check how much disk space it uses | 19:27 |
| daijoubu | erUSUL, i just wanted to ask, because i can get all of my hardware to work under 9.04 but under 9.10 it's not possible, any idea what options do i have? Can i use 9.04 and hope for the best after it's dead? | 19:27 |
| Slart | karelm: that howto looked very dated.. as far as I can tell it's at least 2 years old | 19:28 |
| erUSUL | daijoubu: well; ideally you should try to make all hardware work in karmic (or sip karmic and try lucid) | 19:28 |
| === Mud|game is now known as Mud | ||
| karelm | Slart: mmm, well, guess I can always try and see where I end up :) | 19:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | well 9.04 seems surprisingly dead, lots of new stuff is just not packaged for it | 19:29 |
| daijoubu | erUSUL, i want tot ry Lucid but i can't get it to work with unetbootin and my usb stick, it doesn't make a bootable image on the usb, are there other tools for making Lucid install from USB sticks ? | 19:29 |
| Slart | karelm: in my vm, 9.10 64bit regular desktop version uses 2.3 GB fully installed | 19:29 |
| daijoubu | *try | 19:29 |
| erUSUL | daijoubu: i meant try lucid when it is out | 19:30 |
| Slart | karelm: openoffice alone probably uses 400MB+ | 19:30 |
| daijoubu | erUSUL, ok thank you | 19:30 |
| karelm | Slart: yes, it's something like that, but once the system is running, with swap etc, there isn't much left | 19:31 |
| karelm | Slart: maybe I'll upgrade the harddrive soon :), I just got the system | 19:31 |
| Slart | karelm: nope.. but once you have the system up and running you can start deleting stuff.. | 19:31 |
| CapitalistPig | i heard ubuntu is for newbs | 19:31 |

| phong_ | hi guys, do u mind if u can tell me what are some of good things to use linux over windows ? | 19:33 |
| CapitalistPig | sebsebseb - but are ubuntu users not respected in the general linux community? | 19:33 |
| CapitalistPig | im just curious about the big picture | 19:33 |

| klappi | phong_: freedom | 19:33 |
| phong_ | in what? | 19:33 |
| phong_ | u're too broad | 19:34 |
| klappi | phong_: of choice | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: well not all Desktop Linux users like Ubuntu, but most don't have a problem with it as a distro, as far as I know | 19:34 |
| CapitalistPig | what do you mean by desktop linux? like you cant use ubuntu on a laptop? | 19:34 |
| phong_ | captial haha | 19:34 |
| karelm | sebsebseb: Not sure if that will run so nicely on xfce, but I think I'll try :) | 19:34 |
| Shazam | CapitalistPig: as opposed to a server | 19:34 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: I mean that Ubuntu isn't the only distribution their are others that you can run on your PC | 19:34 |
| phong_ | u're funny man | 19:34 |
| CapitalistPig | so laptop is also desktop ? | 19:35 |

| CapitalistPig | does ubuntu have multi-touch support? | 19:35 |
| karelm | erUSUL: I never heard of it but it looks nice :-), and webkit! | 19:35 |
| CapitalistPig | for new tablets | 19:35 |
| phong_ | i think evtouch ? | 19:35 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: well no, but people will count that as Desktop Linux or maybe mobile Linux | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | karelm: :) | 19:35 |
| CapitalistPig | multi-touch looks cool | 19:35 |
| erUSUL | karelm: also there is webkit version of epypahny the gnome browser | 19:36 |

| karelm | erUSUL: Ok, thanks for the tip! | 19:36 |
| klappi | phong_: in 96 i first installed linux and liked the free compilers and software i could use | 19:37 |

| Roasted | how do I see what hardware is in the computer besides lspci? I thought I remember seeing a GUI tool similar to windows deivce manager | 19:37 |
| CapitalistPig | im worried about multi-touch not being supported | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | jada: torrents uhmm | 19:37 |
| CapitalistPig | and is there 64bit linux? | 19:37 |
| Slart | jada: ok, enjoy! welcome back when/if you decide to try ubuntu again | 19:37 |
| CapitalistPig | 64bit ubuntu | 19:37 |
| jada | lol, never linux again | 19:37 |
| CapitalistPig | i mean | 19:37 |
| Shazam | can I use the Karmic repositories on Jaunty? | 19:37 |
| erUSUL | Roasted: you can install sysinfo or lshw-gtk | 19:37 |
| Slart | Shazam: it's never good to mix repositories | 19:37 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: of course | 19:38 |
| hagus_ | I have a DVD with Mint on it. I already have Ubuntu 9.10 installed. Is Mint something that I should bother with? | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: there is 64bit | 19:38 |
| erUSUL | Roasted: the later has a weird interface though | 19:38 |
| CapitalistPig | does ubuntu support all hardware of a new laptop | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: as for touch screen hardare hrm, I guess it depends on the hardware if it works or not | 19:38 |
| Slart | hagus_: mint is a derivative of ubuntu.. many people think it's nice.. we don't support it here though | 19:38 |
| Guest74163 | I tried Mint...just went back to Ubu | 19:38 |
| LuciusMare | vlc does not work for me, it does not output sound, otherwise it works, in kde i can successefully test the device, but testing ALSA does not work - any ideas? | 19:38 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: really depends on hardware, wireless for example is a common problem area | 19:38 |

| CAPcap | please hoe can i install XMMS? | 19:39 |
| LucidGuy | Looking for a good IT helpdesk ticket tracking software. Ideally linux open source with real support options. Any recommendations. | 19:39 |
| Shazam | Slart: I figured as much. I'd like to get eclipse 3.3+ (has a plugin for GWT) but not available in 9.04, and I've had some problems with 9.10. Whats the best way for me to get at it? | 19:39 |
| Guest74163 | sudo apt-get install xmms | 19:39 |
| hagus_ | Is it mainly just a differently laid-out desktop ? | 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | CAPcap: sudo apt-get install xmms | 19:39 |
| erUSUL | !xmms | CAPcap | 19:39 |
| ubottu | CAPcap: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 19:39 |
| Guest74163 | sudo apt-get install xmms2 | 19:39 |
| CAPcap | well xmms2 really. | 19:39 |
| Guest74163 | audacious is nice | 19:39 |
| sebsebseb | hagus_: mint is rather green, based on Ubuntu, and a bit differnet, that's about it really | 19:40 |
| erUSUL | !software | CAPcap | 19:40 |
| ubottu | CAPcap: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 19:40 |
| sebsebseb | hagus_: and you don't get mint support in here | 19:40 |
| Slart | Shazam: from what I've heard from other eclipse users installing from source is the way to go.. not sure if that's based on old information or just rumours though | 19:40 |
| hagus_ | oh - I guess that I shall give it a miss then, sebsebseb :) | 19:40 |
| CAPcap | sebsebseb should i do sudo apt-get install xmms2? | 19:40 |
| Guest74163 | sudo apt-get install xmms2 | 19:40 |

| bdelin88 | Had a question about an issue I am facing... I am trying to use an ubuntu live cd to diagnose a windows issue at this time. Currently the windows installation is corrupt and will not boot into the OS past the main loading screen... so I figured I would try and see if it was a hardware issue by using a linux live cd (and easily backup the files). It turns out that the linux live cd runs fine until I try to copy files from the hard driv | 19:42 |
| grumbly | Help- i did something wrong and now i can't log in... I have the error checkpassword: wrong password- I'm running 9.04 | 19:42 |
| ioka | I m not a root | 19:42 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: ok that's easy enough to re set the password | 19:42 |
| grumbly | I also can't seem to get into single user mode | 19:42 |
| erUSUL | ioka: drop the sudo | 19:42 |
| sudhanshu | hi | 19:42 |
| Guest74163 | bfelin88 - SOunds like a failed hd | 19:42 |
| nibbler | bdelin88: well.... bad harddrive then | 19:42 |
| CapitalistPig | hm, so if i have a laptop that has a volume control for example, its a little dial and it is very convenient, will that work on ubuntu? | 19:42 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: you want to set a new password? | 19:42 |
| erUSUL | bdelin88: so it is the hard drive the one that died? | 19:42 |
| bdelin88 | that's what i was thinking hmm... | 19:42 |
| erUSUL | bdelin88: bad :( | 19:42 |
| grumbly | sebsebseb: I never set one to begin with. | 19:43 |
| nibbler | CapitalistPig: boot a livecd and see for yourself | 19:43 |
| raingrove | is slart a bot | 19:43 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: uh? | 19:43 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: you should have an account password | 19:43 |
| bdelin88 | erUSUL: i do not know...I just know it has trouble when using it, although I can still index the files | 19:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | hagus_: mint is ubuntu with some makeup basically | 19:43 |
| erUSUL | raingrove: but of course | 19:43 |
| ioka | Is there a way to kill all my processes without the ability to see their job ids and numbers | 19:43 |
| grumbly | sebsebseb: I do | 19:43 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: and that has letters and numbers at least | 19:43 |
| brontosaurusrex | hagus_: and with some non-free installs | 19:43 |
| Slart | raingrove: not that I've noticed.. ehm.. but would I really know if I was one? | 19:43 |
| LuciusMare | ioka: pkill | 19:43 |
| bdelin88 | Additionally though, I do not understand, if running off a live cd, why would UBUNTU crash? | 19:43 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: probably | 19:43 |
| grumbly | sebsebseb: I do. But it's just a standard user (with sudoers) | 19:43 |
| bdelin88 | ...if it is indeed a HD issue | 19:43 |
| Guest74163 | Ubuntu is easier to find documentation and help for than Mint, IMHO | 19:43 |
| troublescoot | i've been to the mountains of #httpd and fought my way through the valleys of #bind and #dns, only to wind up here at the gates of #ubuntu. they say you can help me. | 19:43 |
| Anusien | WEll got frustrated and did an REISUB reboot. Now I'm just waiting to see what it comes up like | 19:43 |
| ioka | only pkill LuciusMare | 19:44 |
| raingrove | erUSUL: he's a dude? | 19:44 |
| LuciusMare | vlc does not work for me, it does not output sound, aside from that sounds works correctly, in kde i can successefully test the device, but testing ALSA does not work - any ideas? | 19:44 |
| Guest74163 | Live CD runs from optical drive and ram only | 19:44 |
| hagus_ | brontosaurusrex, ah - thanks for explaining that to me. I wondered why they had bothered to produce an alternative of the same thing. Now I understand. | 19:44 |
| raingrove | Slart: have you become self aware? | 19:44 |
| Anusien | troublescoot: Did you remember to dump your troublesome logfiles in the volcano among the mountains of #httpd? | 19:44 |
| brontosaurusrex | Guest74163: nope, whatever goes for ubuntu, goes for mint as well | 19:44 |
| Guest74163 | Live Cd will run without a hd at all | 19:44 |
| erUSUL | Slart: do not lie to us... you allways fail the turing test XXDD | 19:44 |
| CapitalistPig | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download <--- why is there no 64bit download link? | 19:44 |
| Slart | erUSUL: that was one time.. and there was whiskey involved | 19:44 |
| bdelin88 | Guest74163: yes, that's what I thought... so this leads me to believe it is not the hard drive... but it seems to occur only when the HD is in use | 19:44 |
| grumbly | sebsebseb: I get to a login prompt... but... well... it no login! | 19:44 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: there is you have to select the 64bit option on the page though probably | 19:44 |
| ioka | pkill does not help | 19:45 |
| troublescoot | Anusien: i dumped log files, dig outputs and much more | 19:45 |
| raingrove | Slart: what is tw0 tim3s f|v3? | 19:45 |
| Slart | raingrove: well.. at some point I guess I must have.. | 19:45 |
| ioka | I get no more proccesse | 19:45 |
| troublescoot | for this is an issue of DNS/Apache proportions | 19:45 |
| sebsebseb | grumbly: well you can open up recovery mode from Grub, and get the root terminal and then passwd username to change the password | 19:45 |
| Guest74163 | bdelin88 - Live Cd will run without a hd at all | 19:45 |

| bdelin88 | Guest74163: yes it seems | 19:46 |
| brontosaurusrex | hagus_: i have jaunty mint running here for a while, but now it doesnt look anything like plain mint or plain ubuntu anymore, so it really doesnt matter where you start, mint could be a bit easier for noobs i belive | 19:46 |
| Guest74163 | Then it is the hd :( | 19:46 |
| bdelin88 | Guest74163: is there any sort of hardware probing device/software for linux to diagnose issuse? | 19:46 |
| bdelin88 | Guest74163: yes, but why would it cause the live cd to crash? | 19:46 |
| sebsebseb | Shazam: let's reply to your pm here, good point, if wanting to kill everything including the kernel, re boot or shut down yes. if wanting to kill standard running programs such as a browser or something like that, there are other ways | 19:46 |
| erUSUL | bdelin88: the kernel is the best tester... see the logs /var/log/messages | 19:47 |
| Guest74163 | try smartmontools, I think | 19:47 |
| CapitalistPig | coool well i will try it then | 19:47 |
| CapitalistPig | see what all this ubuntu is about | 19:47 |
| Anusien | Woohoo, I have a working machine! Whether or not I want to resume `dpkg --configure -a` I don't know | 19:47 |
| erUSUL | bdelin88: but if it freezes accessing the harddisk then you have a huge clue | 19:47 |
| bdelin88 | erUSUL: i don't know how to use that if the live cd freezes though, bc the logs will be discarded when i have to shut off the power | 19:47 |
| CapitalistPig | what about microsoft office does that run on ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| Guest74163 | Actually, /var/log/messages is right. | 19:47 |
| Guest74163 | Open Office kicks M$ | 19:47 |
| jrib | CapitalistPig: you can use open office as an alternative or look into crossover office | 19:48 |
| brontosaurusrex | CapitalistPig: good nick | 19:48 |
| jellow | CapitalistPig: yes , In wine | 19:48 |
| erUSUL | bdelin88: open a terminal do « tailf /var/log/messages » try to crash the livecd. see what is written | 19:48 |
| bdelin88 | erUSUL: yes, i just kind o ffigured that linux was a little stronger than that, especially the livecd, i thought since it did not run off the live cd that it would continue to run just find and maybe just unmount or display an error | 19:48 |
| ozzloy | CapitalistPig, are you a troll? | 19:48 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: which version of Office do you watn to run? there are good alternatives, and ways you can run Microsoft Office, Crossover Office is one way, but that program is paid thing, Wine on the other hand is free | 19:48 |
| CapitalistPig | can i edit a powerpoint and save it as a powerpoint? | 19:48 |
| CapitalistPig | for example? | 19:48 |
| ioka | if I type kill -9 irssi I get arguments should be jobs or process id's .How can I hind out the job? | 19:48 |
| bdelin88 | erUSUL: nothing will be written though bc it is a cd...i have to restart because it freezes, thus discarding the log file, correct? | 19:48 |
| erUSUL | CapitalistPig: yes | 19:48 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: Yes. I've been MS OFfice free for several years now | 19:48 |
| CapitalistPig | without actually having microsoft office for linux? | 19:48 |
| grumbly | sebsebseb: I've tried adding single, removing quiet, but it just gives me a login prompt | 19:48 |
| jrib | ioka: use pkill instead if you want to do it by process name | 19:48 |
| Guest74163 | ps aux or ps -C irssi | 19:48 |
| CapitalistPig | Anusien - but do you successfully collaborate with others in Word / Powerpoint? | 19:49 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: You mean sharing doucments or what? | 19:49 |
| sebsebseb | ozzloy: they might be, espesailly with that name, but even if they are, well they are going through new user type questions, which could be useful to have answered for other people as well | 19:49 |
| ioka | jrib: pkill does not work I get : no more processes | 19:49 |
| grumbly | then, if i wait a few minutes, it says "Activating Swap"... at the login prompt... but even waiting 40 mins, i still get no love. | 19:49 |
| CapitalistPig | Anusien - i mean editing the same documents without having any conversion issues | 19:49 |
| CapitalistPig | i want smooth workflow | 19:49 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: Are you on Windows now? | 19:49 |
| Guest74163 | ioka - ps -C irssi to find pid for irssi | 19:49 |
| CapitalistPig | Anusien - 7 | 19:49 |
| jrib | ioka: surely pkill works. See man page for proper syntax perhaps? | 19:49 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: it's not 100% compatible with newer features and things like macros and stuff...so if you're an office power user I wouldn't rely on it | 19:49 |
| ozzloy | sebsebseb, true. i guess it hasn't gotten too crazy | 19:49 |
| hotgirl19 | Hello, how to share internet connection from pppoe , to the network LAN crossover eth0 , like wlan0<==>pppoe to eth0? | 19:49 |
| * ozzloy goes to lunch | 19:49 | |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - damn, seirously? | 19:49 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: Try this. Go download OpenOffice for Windows, and see if you can use it without any issues. If you run into issues, you know. If you don't, you also know | 19:49 |
| CapitalistPig | thats almost a deal breaker for me :( | 19:50 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: are you an office power user? | 19:50 |

| Guest74163 | ioka what does top output? | 19:50 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - i dont know what the threshold is for being considered a power user, so i cant say, i do use a lot of features for document ediitng and stuff | 19:50 |
| bdelin88 | jellow: well not so fast... | 19:50 |
| CapitalistPig | and have to prepare professional contracts and documents | 19:50 |
| ioka | what top output | 19:50 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: with enough RAM you can run most Windows programs in a Windows virtual machine, and rather well indeed | 19:50 |
| CapitalistPig | jellow - :( | 19:50 |
| brontosaurusrex | CapitalistPig: if they want to colaborate, they can all install openoffice | 19:50 |
| jrib | CapitalistPig: move on from office... | 19:50 |
| erUSUL | CapitalistPig: you can try openoffice in windows for a while and see if it feets your needs | 19:51 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: Download Open Office on your windows machine, and see if it works for you. You can run the two side by side just fine (just don't open the same document in both at once!) | 19:51 |
| ioka | whatever I try to execute I get "no more processes " as a answer | 19:51 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: yea of course... pleanty of those kinds of things, but i am saying not enterprise level stuff that is set up or designed a certain way to work in office '07+ | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | CapitalistPig: *fit* | 19:51 |
| CapitalistPig | brontosaurusrex - see i cant tell people to install things to read my documents | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | CapitalistPig, with a nick like that most ppl wouod think you're a Bill Gates fan :) | 19:51 |
| hotgirl19 | erUSUL, i tried them, but it didnt work :( | 19:51 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: you can save in the Microsoft formats using Open Office, and open them as well | 19:51 |
| maco | CapitalistPig: OOo can save as .doc... | 19:51 |
| CapitalistPig | yea im a huge bill gates fan, hes an excellent businessman | 19:51 |
| Anusien | *peer* Why is it taking my machine several minutes to "Starting TiMidity++ ALSA midi emulation..."? | 19:51 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: you can also create a vmware solution and have a windows install right inside linux and run it seamlessly. The other thing is using wine to install office 2003 or 07 | 19:51 |
| maco | CapitalistPig: you can set it as the default through the tools menu | 19:51 |
| * Ov3rf10w brb | 19:51 | |
| brontosaurusrex | CapitalistPig: it goes the other way as well, when i get mails with doc or god no docx attachements they go to trash | 19:51 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: maybe you did not get the interfaces right. pppoe uses ppp0 | 19:51 |
| CapitalistPig | sebner - ah okay | 19:51 |
| CapitalistPig | sebsebseb rahter | 19:52 |
| CapitalistPig | but i want to start coding more | 19:52 |
| Guest74163 | I am requested to use docx for school. I always submit doc | 19:52 |
| CapitalistPig | so i want to get on linux | 19:52 |
| bja | you could probably do that on windows if you really wanted to | 19:52 |
| CapitalistPig | more often | 19:52 |
| hotgirl19 | erUSUL, yes it is use ppp0 , how to share it? | 19:52 |
| Anusien | That doesn't require Linux though, but it's a goo didea :) | 19:52 |
| grumbly | Does anyone know any way from grub to bypass init? | 19:52 |
| Slart | Guest74163: requested? that's insane? pdf isn't good enough? | 19:52 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: some Microsoft format documents won't display properly in Open Office, but most will. you can even run those free Microsoft Word document viewers and such in Wine | 19:52 |
| bja | CapitalistPig, you could install Ubuntu in VirtualBox or VirtualPC | 19:52 |
| CapitalistPig | u know anusien, but i want to be like a man's man in a computer sense | 19:52 |
| CapitalistPig | to understand things inside and out | 19:53 |
| Guest74163 | CapitalistPig I run Xp in VirtualBox and never boot into Windows anymore | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: what method did you tried ? the iptables one? | 19:53 |
| bja | as long as you have a relatively new PC with about 2GB of ram or more you'll be fine | 19:53 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: :) | 19:53 |
| CapitalistPig | Guest21816 - virtualbox = ? | 19:53 |
| bja | virtualbox.org | 19:53 |
| Guest74163 | Man yes! | 19:53 |
| bja | it's a free virtual machine | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: in that case the example form the wiki this line « sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT | 19:53 |
| Anusien | Solutions that require virtual machines are probably not going to be worthwhile solutions for first time linux users | 19:53 |
| hotgirl19 | erUSUL, i used Firestarter | 19:53 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: is sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT | 19:54 |
| === McPeter_ is now known as McPeter | ||
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: yes vbox is great | 19:54 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: Do you know what Wine is? and no not the drink :D | 19:54 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: ammm ok | 19:54 |
| hotgirl19 | erUSUL, i will do this in terminal now | 19:54 |
| jellow | !wine | CapitalistPig | 19:54 |
| ubottu | CapitalistPig: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 19:54 |
| grumbly | nevermind, I got it | 19:54 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: i also do not recommend using linux if you have any special devices u use... blackberry phones, or iphone that you wish to sync, etc. | 19:54 |
| bdelin88 | ipods work just fine | 19:54 |
| Anusien | Do iPhones? | 19:54 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - shit i totally forgot about that | 19:55 |
| CapitalistPig | i have a Nokia that i sync | 19:55 |
| CapitalistPig | calendar only -- (i use gmail so its all web-based no sync needed) | 19:55 |
| CapitalistPig | and contacts | 19:55 |
| Anusien | I haven't tried getting my iphone to sync on my server yet | 19:55 |
| nvme | whats the md5sum command for files that doesnt include the trailing \n ? | 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: most Ubuntu users dual boot with WIndows | 19:55 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: no need; if you are using firestarter stick to it | 19:55 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: or so it seems anyway | 19:55 |
| frostburn | nvme, what are you trying to accomplish? | 19:55 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: well you will be giving that up | 19:55 |
| nvme | frostburn, just want to md5sum a file :P | 19:56 |
| === hagus_ is now known as hagus | ||
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: you can vbox it, but i just would rather use windows. | 19:56 |
| frostburn | nvme, md5sum filemname | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: you can have your current Windows install, and then put Ubuntu on as well on a dual boot, and then select which one to boot up when the computer is turned on or re booted | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: and one of them will automatically boot | 19:56 |
| azo | re | 19:56 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: You might find it's more useful to start with Cygwin | 19:56 |
| CapitalistPig | sebsebseb - yea :/ | 19:56 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: cygwin hrm | 19:56 |
| nvme | frostburn, i remember there is some issue with that and trailing endlines or something | 19:56 |
| CapitalistPig | cygwin sucks | 19:57 |
| CapitalistPig | and i am a linux user | 19:57 |
| erUSUL | hotgirl19: tried the one described in the wiki under Ubuntu 9.10 Method ?? seems the easier one | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: interesting software I know, but not something I would recommend to someone who is new to this kind of software | 19:57 |
| CapitalistPig | i used to use mandrake, then slackware | 19:57 |
| hotgirl19 | erUSUL, thank you :) | 19:57 |
| Anusien | Cygwin is more complicated you think than dual boots and virtual machines? | 19:57 |
| frostburn | nvme, not that i'm aware of | 19:57 |
| brontosaurusrex | CapitalistPig: use virtualbox | 19:57 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: I have come to a point where I have a great appreciation for the linux community and OS'. However, I cannot use it for the desktop, that is just for me. I am a windows power user and I know how to do what I need, I have been running for 4+ years without virus protection just fine. I use linux for my server, etc, but I just can't make the switch, and you need to decide why exactly you are trying to make this switch, bec | 19:57 |
| CapitalistPig | ill just dual boot | 19:57 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: it's a shell, that runs command line apps, and such, last time I used it | 19:57 |
| Anusien | sebsebseb: It's even less than that, but it has a shell, yeah | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: it doesn't just run Firefox or that kind of software | 19:58 |
| Anusien | CapitalistPig: Make sure you backup and read a good guide very carefully. Dual booting can be difficult because windows is twitchy | 19:58 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - my main reason is to just be more involved, learn more coding | 19:58 |
| CapitalistPig | and i think linux is a good enviro to be in for that | 19:58 |
| Anusien | sebsebseb: Well of course not, because Cygwin runs under Windows | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | Audible: cygwin is really for geeks, not the "average computer user" | 19:58 |
| CapitalistPig | i mean mainly ill just be surfing, mail, and light office -- and media | 19:58 |
| Anusien | rofl | 19:58 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: here is what i recommend then... | 19:58 |
| sebsebseb | Anusien: thought you would put that | 19:58 |
| Leoneof` | hi | 19:58 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: why not run vbox on windows and box into a linux system :) | 19:59 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: it makes more sense... | 19:59 |
| Anusien | It's a biiiiig leap? | 19:59 |
| CapitalistPig | than dualbooting? | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: first you need to find out what hardware works really | 19:59 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: that's what I live CD is about | 19:59 |
| Anusien | sebsebseb: Cygwin is a compatibilty DLL that lets you run compile linux applications for Windows | 19:59 |
| CapitalistPig | whats live cd | 19:59 |
| Leoneof` | hey erUSUL | 19:59 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: yea... why lose all your work and have to restart just to switch from one thing to another | 19:59 |
| bja | Anusien, I don't see what's so complicated about a virtual machine | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | Leoneof`: hi | 19:59 |
| Anusien | bja: How experienced are you with them? | 19:59 |
| bja | it's how I use windows and how I build software for several servers | 19:59 |
| bja | as far as I can tell, it involved clicking a couple times | 20:00 |
| bja | then downloading an iso | 20:00 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - it just seems....stupid to run linux in a little program to do the things i could be doing in the system that im running that program in... | 20:00 |
| bja | then clicking some more | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: it's also the install CD, but there's a live session on it, which is proper Ubuntu really, which is Ubuntu from a CD | 20:00 |
| CapitalistPig | sebsebseb - how do i run the livecd to test my hardware compatability? | 20:00 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: was going to remove the proper Ubuntu bit, if things work on a Live CD they useually work in an install. the live cd session is rather similar to a proper install of Ubuntu, just will be a bit slower since it's running from a CD | 20:00 |
| CapitalistPig | sebsebseb - download link? | 20:00 |
| bja | CapitalistPig, do you know how to select a boot device with your bios? | 20:01 |
| Anusien | bja: Speaking as someone who lives on UNIX for several hours a day at work and run my own HTTP/SSH/SFTP server, starting over with linux and running windows inside as a VM is a huuuuuuge jump | 20:01 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: it's your choice but if you want to restart every time just get back into your business system (i.e. if you use outlook, etc.. and stuff.. then it's a pain in the ass to go back and forth)... if you need to sync your phone, you will have to restart, think about it first is all i'm saying | 20:01 |
| CapitalistPig | bja - dude im not a computer noob | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: I think these other people nearly confussed you, oh you can virtual machine Windows, oh you can dual boot (ok that was me), oh you can do this cygwin thingey program. Really all you want right now is an Ubuntu Live CD | 20:01 |
| brontosaurusrex | bja: yes, but you wont enjoy watching hd movies in linux in a box | 20:01 |
| bja | Anusien, I suggested running virtualbox from windows and installing ubuntu in it | 20:01 |
| isolat3dsh33p | I don't really get, what's the meaning of the warning "You are about to install software that can't be authenticated". "wget" is listed in the updates that can't be authenticated. Should I just install the updates? | 20:01 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - nah i dont do outlook, i know enough to avoid getting caught in that trap | 20:01 |
| bja | brontosaurusrex, I don't do that anyway | 20:01 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: also to dual boot you would use that Live CD if you want to do that | 20:01 |
| Anusien | Ah, I may have missed that | 20:01 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - i have TONS of friends who are miserable because their stuff is stuck in Outlook and its too dificult to mess with | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | !gpgerr | isolat3dsh33p | 20:02 |
| ubottu | isolat3dsh33p: Getting GPG errors after adding custom repositories? Find the GPG keyword for the repository (it's 437D05B5 for the standard ones) and run « gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <key> && gpg --export --armor <key> | sudo apt-key add - » | 20:02 |
| CapitalistPig | and they just use it because they are in quick sand | 20:02 |
| bja | CapitalistPig, you just need to reboot into the livecd after you burn the ISO. make sure that your machine is booting from CD/DVD then it will start up automatically | 20:02 |
| denny | will Lucid hold on Xorg 1.6.x, or might it bump up to 1.7.x before it ships? | 20:02 |
| denny | I need 1.7.x for my dual-card setup | 20:02 |
| denny | I'm worried that Lucid will probably hang back though, being a LTS | 20:03 |
| CapitalistPig | bj0rn2 - is there supposed to be a different livecd download though? | 20:03 |
| isolat3dsh33p | erUSUL, it's an GPG error? But wget is listed as well. And it's just a warning. :( | 20:03 |
| bdelin88 | CapitalistPig: well all i'm saying is think about it... to me it sounds like you are just wanting to use linux just to use linux... and all the nice effects and everything, it's not a good enough reason, personally for me, to dual boot, but go for it | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: oh right Outlook well Codeweavers is meant to be the best for Office 2007, however Wine after a bit of configuring is good as well or something like that. You can think more about that kind of stuff later, first you should try Ubuntu from a Live CD. | 20:03 |
| CapitalistPig | bdelin88 - i appreciate it, i think youre right | 20:03 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: download the ISO from the Ubuntu website for 9.10 | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | isolat3dsh33p: well it is weird that the updates repos lack the gpg key. but could be | 20:03 |

| RocketLauncher | What are you doing here | 20:04 |
| CapitalistPig | is the ubuntu download the same as live cd? | 20:04 |
| CapitalistPig | or is it separate? | 20:04 |
| sebsebseb | CapitalistPig: go to the website and download Ubuntu | 20:04 |
| erUSUL | CapitalistPig: is the same | 20:04 |

| Daemonis | Does anyone know if the Radeon x1250m is going to get proprietary drivers in 9.1? Right now all It gives me is a third party driver and that's no 3d acceleration. | 20:10 |
| Daemonis | Open source driver, I should say. | 20:11 |
| erUSUL | Daemonis: not likely | 20:11 |
| isolat3dsh33p | erUSUL, it's several days ago, probably on Monday or Tuesday. I did add a new repo for wireshark on Monday. Maybe it came from that. If I remove it from the repo and the updates comes from that, the updates should disappear right? | 20:11 |
| erUSUL | isolat3dsh33p: yes | 20:11 |
| dnajovo | if i want to dualboot ubuntu and fedora core what mount points at each filesystem should i use?also the space that my data will go should i mount it as home?and if i do?both ubuntu and fedora will use the same home? | 20:11 |
| Daemonis | That's not very ubuntu like. I know it's older hardware... but it's not like it's that old... and this is a laptop so upgrading the graphics chip isn't an option. | 20:11 |
| dnajovo | if anyone has an idea please help cause i am at the partitioner menu already at my desktop pc | 20:12 |
| Daemonis | I'd hate to have to go back to windows just because I can't get a decent graphics driver :( | 20:12 |
| trism | sebsebseb: yeah you can get anything back to hardy, comes in handy occasionally | 20:12 |
| dnajovo | anyone????????????????????????? | 20:13 |
| sebsebseb | dnajovo: instaling Ubuntu for the first time? | 20:13 |
| dnajovo | no | 20:13 |
| dnajovo | but i want to tripleboot actually win7 ubuntu and fedora | 20:13 |
| Slart | dnajovo: this is only my personal preference.. but I wouldn't use the same /home folder.. I would create a something like ~/mystuff and mount that on both system but keep the rest of /home dedicated for each system | 20:13 |
| dnajovo | i have successfully dualbooted | 20:13 |
| dnajovo | but tripleboot i try it for the first time | 20:13 |
| Slart | dnajovo: and please don't start with the million question marks.. you'll only get ignored | 20:13 |
| dnajovo | ok | 20:14 |
| Daemonis | Heh. I guess I'll just be stuck using 8.1 | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | dnajovo: oh yeah your the Fedora one, I wasn't going to reply to you since well you might get Grub 2 issue and uh and distros fighting over home maybe | 20:14 |
| sebsebseb | dnajovo: and I am not really the person to help with both of those things | 20:14 |

| sebsebseb | djamel: your question is a bit more general really I think, you could try ##linux as well | 20:17 |
| bbong | I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my Acer Asphire One Netbook (Intel Core 2 Solo), works great, but once I do an online upgrade after install, and reboot the system is dead, I get cmov/libm.so.6: Invalid ELF Header | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | djamel: I don't understand, you want help setting up Ubuntu partitions or what? | 20:17 |
| domito_ | assmonger: ipcs | 20:17 |
| dnajovo | anyway thanx for the help | 20:17 |
| dnajovo | i'll google some more | 20:17 |
| ben2000677 | Hi all, I need to ask a very common question (I have googled but there are too many answers to this): I am turning to Linux and want to know the most recommended netbook that's fit for ubuntu | 20:17 |
| technicallyrite | Is there an #ubuntuserver channel on freenode? | 20:17 |
| sebsebseb | ben2000677: not sure if this mentions netbooks at all, but well | 20:17 |
| linuxprobie | ben2000677: try ubuntu netbook remix | 20:18 |
| domito_ | technicallyrite: #ubuntu-server | 20:18 |
| sebsebseb | !hardware | ben2000677 | 20:18 |
| ubottu | ben2000677: 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 | 20:18 |
| Slart | assmonger: there's nothing in "vmstat" ? | 20:18 |
| kyle6513 | hello again everyone | 20:18 |
| domito_ | netbook remix is nice, wife isusing it on her Acer aspire one | 20:18 |
| assmonger | domito_: does shared memory get automatically freed when the calling process is killed? | 20:18 |
| kyle6513 | domito_, isnt it buggy? | 20:18 |
| genii | ben2000677: I put it on an Asus Eeepc 1005HA, runs great on that | 20:18 |
| domito_ | assmonger: depends on the app and if it cleans up properly | 20:18 |
| linuxprobie | I have it set up on a pen drive, but I need to disable the liveboot autologin | 20:18 |
| domito_ | you can use ipcrm to remove them by force | 20:19 |
| ben2000677 | yes I plan on getting the netbook remix so I hear acer and maybe dell are good akes to ook at | 20:19 |
| kyle6513 | genii, what did? | 20:19 |
| technicallyrite | domito_: thanks! | 20:19 |
| gabe | hi | 20:19 |
| assmonger | domito_: ipcrm, thanks! | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | gabe: hi | 20:19 |
| genii | kyle6513: Ubuntu Netbook Remix | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | to late they left already | 20:19 |
| ben2000677 | I'm more worried about keyboard size whilst keeping it like 8.9inches | 20:19 |
| isolat3dsh33p | erUSUL, yes, it's from the Wireshark/Ethereal repo. Thanks for helping :) | 20:19 |
| erUSUL | isolat3dsh33p: no problem | 20:19 |
| isolat3dsh33p | :) | 20:19 |
| kyle6513 | genii, its buggy for me on my 1000H =/ | 20:19 |
| domito_ | ben2000677: the kybd size on the aspire is ok if you have small hands, I hate it. The worst is the touchpad because the buttons are flush with the chassis and hard to press ... get a wireless mouse | 20:20 |
| kyle6513 | domito_, try an asus eeepc 1000H, it has a 10" screen with a 6 hour battery if you are just listening to music, it works great with ubuntu! | 20:21 |
| ben2000677 | domito_: so is there any like bigger versions | 20:21 |
| linuxprobie | netbooks aren't meant for big | 20:22 |
| ben2000677 | so im guessing Acer is the make of choice it only really comes down to specs when choosing | 20:22 |
| kyle6513 | linuxprobie, depends on what you want to be using it for... | 20:22 |
| linuxprobie | they're meant for extremely portable and just powerful enough to get netsurfing, wordprocessing and messaging | 20:23 |
| kyle6513 | ben2000677, what are the specs of the acer you're looking at | 20:23 |
| linuxprobie | hence NETbook | 20:23 |
| ben2000677 | sorry i mean Asus | 20:23 |
| kyle6513 | ben2000677, yeah asus has done great things, even putting linux on it by default | 20:23 |
| muunleit_ | Hey. If I get a message in Empathy, the TrayIcon changes to the symbol for "symbol not found". Is there a way how I can fix this? I have found now new_message-icon in /usr/share/empathy | 20:23 |
| ben2000677 | well that;'s the thing, will I need more than 1gb of RAM for just coding | 20:23 |
| ben2000677 | how does Linux specs compare to windows, surely they don't need to be as powerful | 20:24 |
| Slart | ben2000677: linux is very customizable.. it can be even worse than windows.. or much lighter.. | 20:24 |
| imMute | ben2000677: linux can run on 16MB of ram (in embedded situations) | 20:25 |
| ben2000677 | Slart: yes, I've seen that ubuntu is like 1 out of loads of different variants | 20:25 |
| Kraln | imMute: less than that | 20:25 |

| hcook | howdy | 20:39 |
| technicallyrite | inmanix: Formatted, yes. Erase and create new partition, no. | 20:39 |
| linkd | inmanix, itll overwrite your master boot record but you can easily restore that | 20:39 |
| inmanix | Great, so aslong as i work within the parameters of that partition, it doesnt matter what i do | 20:39 |
| inmanix | oh, so ill need to restore grub? | 20:39 |

Like, if the places menu just had > next to the items and then you'd mouse over and that directory would list out to the side? | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | hcook: no that i know of | 20:43 |

| uorygl | Ello. When I tried to boot into Ubuntu for the second time, it informed me that it could not mount the root filesystem, and gave me a root terminal so I could try to fix the problem. Strangely enough, in the root terminal, the root filesystem appeared to be mounted just fine. | 21:09 |
| handjob | Gadget3000, Why do You ask? | 21:09 |
| erUSUL | pershian007: again: remove the kernels you do not use. You can use synaptic. search for linux-image | 21:09 |
| erUSUL | !synaptic | pershian007 | 21:09 |
| ubottu | pershian007: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 21:09 |
| Gadget3000 | handjob: because it may be best to find and alternate solution and not editing grub.cfg | 21:10 |
| vad0r | how can i setup screen to work | 21:10 |
| blakkheim | vad0r: man screen | 21:10 |
| handjob | Gadget3000, I need to change the order of listed distributions. | 21:10 |
| pershian007 | erUSUL 10 Q | 21:10 |
| uorygl | I notice that in Palimpsest Disk Utility, the checkbox for that partition says it is not bootable. Might setting it to be bootable help? | 21:10 |
| Chris___ | did the xorg.conf file move in 9.10? (On a mac) | 21:10 |
| thc_flow | anybody knows? | 21:10 |
| oCean_ | handjob: read here on how to use grub2: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 21:10 |
| erUSUL | thc_flow: 2.*4* !!!!????? | 21:11 |
| oCean_ | thc_flow: 2.4 !? | 21:11 |
| bastid_raZor | vad0r: start screen by typing screen ..then run irssi .. when you want to leave and do soemthing else do not quit just close the terminal window.. when you return log back in and do a screen -x (if only 1 instance of screen is running) | 21:11 |
| vad0r | ill try | 21:11 |
| thc_flow | erUSUL, oCean_ yeah | 21:11 |
| handjob | YES I BETTER USE WIKI. | 21:11 |
| erUSUL | thc_flow: there is no SELinux for such an ancient kernel | 21:12 |
| Gadget3000 | handjob: JUst copy and paste what you want into the bottom section ('custom') and see if it works. If it does then remove the others. backup grub.cfg first | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | thc_flow: i doubt any modern distri can work with a 2.4 kernel | 21:12 |
| oCean_ | thc_flow: also, there is no support for such an ancient kernel | 21:12 |
| erUSUL | thc_flow: like trying to run Aero/win7 gui in windows 98 | 21:13 |
| uorygl | Eh, I guess I'll just reinstall. Should be easy enough. | 21:13 |
| vad0r | after i start screen i start irssi. i usually hit ctrl z then d to detaach | 21:13 |
| uorygl | I hope the problem doesn't happen this time. | 21:13 |
| vad0r | ctrl z exits | 21:13 |
| uorygl | vad0r: to detach from screen, do ctrl-a then ctrl-d. | 21:13 |
| vad0r | that was on freebsd though w/ a custom screen file for dynamips | 21:13 |
| vad0r | so ctrl a is the default | 21:13 |
| vad0r | k | 21:14 |
| vad0r | got it | 21:14 |
| vad0r | thx alot | 21:14 |
| blakkheim | it's just ctrl+a+d | 21:14 |
| buttons840 | this has happened to me several times; I boot and my wireless card isn't working; i "ps -ef | grep modprobe" and see that process 706 (let's say) is modprobe ndiswrapper; this process doesn't show upon successful boot; i then try "sudo kill -9 706" but this seems to do nothing, i cannot kill the process; why can't i kill the process and does anyone have any suggestions for larger problem, which is having to reboot at times to make | 21:14 |
| buttons840 | the wireless card work? | 21:14 |
| blakkheim | you dont need ctrl+d | 21:14 |
| vad0r | \ exits etc | 21:14 |
| Chris___ | did the xorg.conf file move in 9.10? (On a mac) | 21:14 |
| Roasted | Anybody ever notice in firefox on linux there are times when playing a youtube video I CANNOT fast forward it or exit the ads? Yet some other videos are fine? | 21:14 |
| uorygl | I always do C-a C-d; I guess C-a d also works. | 21:14 |
| erUSUL | Chris___: it may not be there; is not a must this days | 21:14 |
| blakkheim | Chris___: first of all, ubuntu is the same on "a mac" as any other computer from any other company. an apple computer is in no way different. | 21:15 |
| buttons840 | Roasted, do you have trouble clicking on buttons and other interactive things in flash windows | 21:15 |
| buttons840 | ? | 21:15 |
| blakkheim | Chris___: second of all, xorg (with hal) doesn't always need an xorg.conf | 21:15 |
| Chris___ | right. well. there's no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ | 21:15 |
| * linuxprobie finds self mesmerized by the hypertorus screensaver while waiting for someone to read and help with login issue * | 21:15 | |

| ben2000677 | hi again! probably going to buy the eee pc 1000H, was just wondering if anyone's got any problems with it | 21:15 |
| Roasted | buttons840, not that I've noticed. The only flash thing I tend to use heavily is youtube. | 21:15 |
| Tweaksource | Anyone here use fluxbox? | 21:15 |
| blakkheim | ben2000677: works fine, but why such an old model? | 21:15 |
| Roasted | buttons840, its weird. Theres a particular jimi hendrix video I CANNOT fast forward. Yet if I go to a song by Gavin Rossdale - its fine.... | 21:15 |
| Chris___ | where should I look for the configuration files then? I need to adda line to preserve battery life | 21:15 |
| ben2000677 | what would you recommend | 21:15 |

| buttons840 | Roasted, i don't know then, i had some trouble with flash where i couldn't press the play button, or interact with the video controls | 21:16 |
| linuxprobie | Roasted: then it's a problem with the file, not your computer | 21:16 |
| Roasted | buttons840, not only that, but its a real PITA when I select "remember password" and "stay logged in" and it doesnt. | 21:16 |

| linuxprobie | Is there an easy way I can disable the ubuntu autologin without having to rebuild the live image? | 21:19 |
| Roasted | linuxprobie, I can fast forward ti fine in XP - not in linux though. | 21:20 |
| ben2000677 | because I plan on travelling around | 21:20 |
| Roasted | linuxprobie, even selecting "replay" after the video is done doesnt work | 21:20 |

| linuxprobie | Roasted: odd | 21:20 |
| KenBW2 | ben2000677: Dell Mini 9 works really well with Ubuntu | 21:20 |
| erUSUL | Roasted: there is known bug with flash + compiz. some flash controls do not work | 21:20 |

| Roasted | now docky disappeared | 21:21 |
| Roasted | DAFJSKDJFKLASDFKLASD | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | Roasted: probably it depends on compositting provided by compiz | 21:21 |
| linuxprobie | dunno then | 21:21 |
| linuxprobie | ben2000677: just about any laptop will run ubuntu just fine. there are specific builds that are more geared towards specialized purposes, but just the other day I got UNR installed on an old PII satetelite | 21:22 |

| Roasted | great | 21:22 |
| Roasted | thats awesome | 21:22 |

| Roasted | erUSUL, look at that. I can fast forward now. | 21:22 |
| Roasted | erUSUL, maybe its time I switch to awn or something. does awn require compositing? | 21:22 |
| linuxprobie | I'm actually on a dell mini9 as well. | 21:22 |

| octet | hey, can someone help me with a torrent program? the default program (transmission) from the ubuntu install takeing too much resources while downloading more then 5 torrents | 21:33 |
| gmendoza | Glaucous: if you're going to use the schools proxy... you don't need to install a proxy of your own. You just need to chage your proxy client settings... | 21:33 |
| blakkheim | Glaucous: you don't need putty, just use ssh from the commandline | 21:33 |
| Geforce88 | is t here a way on 9.10 to convert .mkv to a burnable dvd iso? | 21:33 |

| guntbert | gmendoza: :) | 21:35 |
| Geforce88 | slart, is works with mkv files? | 21:35 |

| Trojaneyez | #linux | 21:40 |
| gmendoza | Geforce88: you can also convert just about any video to a DVD format with ffmpeg and mencoder. ffmpeg syntax is very straight forward. check this link: http://savvyadmin.com/convert-video-files-to-dvd/ | 21:40 |
| coordinador | hi, i have a problem, im chrooted and when i want to install anything with apt-get i get "keytool: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so:" and "error adding mozilla 'something' " like "error adding mozilla/GeoTrust_Global_CA_2.crt" | 21:41 |

| nuckable | or something like that | 21:42 |
| guntbert | neutrinomass: better answered in #vbox, I guess :) | 21:43 |
| gmendoza | Geforce88: also, check out tovid.... it's a front end script in the reposositories that takes a ton of work out of the process as well. | 21:43 |
| guntbert | !compile | nuckable did you see | 21:43 |
| ubottu | nuckable did you see: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 21:43 |

| nuckable | guntbert, thanks, will look into it | 21:43 |
| neutrinomass | guntbert: I'll give that a go, thanks. | 21:43 |
| kanzie | can I at least look at the contents of the partitions while in installation? I have jumped to shell ctrl-alt-f3, do I mount here? | 21:44 |
| gmendoza | Geforce88: tovidgui is a front end to tovid as well, which makes the whole thing fairly transparent. | 21:44 |

| cyberix | I'm trying to write text in latex. I'd need either \AAcht or \twonotes character. | 21:46 |
| cyberix | How am I supposed to figure out which packages I need to install? | 21:46 |
| cyberix | Is it enough to have the correct Ubuntu packages installed, or do I need to include definitions for the symbols to my source file somehow? | 21:47 |
| zleap | have a look at symbols.pdf that tells you | 21:47 |
| nuckable | guntbert, i got me the build-essential and automake and it still won't compile | 21:47 |
| guntbert | nuckable: you must read and follow the README and INSTALL files | 21:48 |
| pfifo | quote from /boot/grub/grub.cfg "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" wtf? Its booting the wrong install by default! | 21:48 |

| nuckable | guntbert, sadly i'm using the german version, so people won't have much more of a clue | 21:50 |
| localh0st | why do you think so? | 21:50 |
| nuckable | it says no rules to make kernel/bounds.c | 21:50 |
| trism | pfifo: you can set GRUB_DEFAULT either to the number of the entry you want to boot or the name of the entry (useful if you want to boot something other than the first entry) | 21:50 |

| palanthas | Thanks Slart, ubottu, and nibbler! | 21:52 |

| imachine | militant, check your server settings. not relevant to ubuntu imho. | 22:05 |
| noXandOs | great now the pc wont even boot | 22:06 |
| kaolbrec | wish^: was the "vmware?" question also directed at me? | 22:06 |
| militant | imachine, i thought there was, but i couldn't get it to stop doing it before. and you're right, it's not really ubuntu-relevant, but i thought i'd ask kuz #ubuntu seemed a likely place to find someone who uses the stuff | 22:06 |
| senorpedro | hi folks | 22:06 |

| CAPcap | imachine i removed it because it was showing two but only 1 was doing something so i tried to get rid of the one that appeared useless, what was happening as i can now see is that for some reason it was displaying a volume icon instead of a wifi connection icon.... so weird | 22:06 |
| militant | k. i think it didn't have that option or didn't work properly last time, but it's a fresh XP install now so we'll see. thanks :) | 22:07 |

| jrib | spiritssight: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list* | 22:10 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: define can't recognise the partition. | 22:10 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: what are you doing that makes you think it can't see the partitions | 22:10 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: it says unallocated | 22:11 |
| ikonia | lightpriest: NX is fine in my view | 22:11 |
| DasEi | nicanor5: which os did you istall in which order ? | 22:11 |
| lightpriest | yeah but windows are darkening :) | 22:11 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: then allocate the partitions | 22:11 |
| ikonia | lightpriest: disable compiz | 22:11 |

| nicanor5 | DasEi: I've only installed windows XP | 22:11 |
| jellow | VCoolio, what the exact name of Nvidia tool thingy? | 22:11 |
| lightpriest | ikonia: do you know how to manually start a NX session with SSH? | 22:11 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: then when you install ubuntu it will give you the option to partition (create your linux partitions) | 22:11 |
| VCoolio | jellow: hang on | 22:11 |
| ikonia | lightpriest: not off the top of my head | 22:12 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: that would delete my data partion | 22:12 |
| DasEi | nicanor5: so how Linux can(t) recognize it ? | 22:12 |
| lightpriest | ikonia: thank's, i'll disable compiz | 22:12 |
| VCoolio | jellow: try "gksudo nvidia-settings" | 22:12 |
| imachine | ikonia, you will probably now :) | 22:12 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: no, the space is unallocated | 22:12 |
| ikonia | imachine: what's up ? | 22:12 |

| kanzie | since all the partitions I have are full can I jump to shell and use fdisk to remove one and then use this space for installation in ubuntu installer? | 22:13 |

| DrWolfen | Hi! Lately I've been having an issue with my netbook using ubuntu 9.10. After downloading and installing an update, I shut down my computer. When I restarted it, my computer would load up past grub, show the ubuntu symbol for a couple seconds and then completely freeze. After experiencing this, I tried running ubuntu in recovery mode, but I would get an error saying /sbin/init:error while loading shared libraries: /lib/l | 22:16 |
| DrWolfen | ibdus-1.so.3: only ET_DYN and ET_EXEC can be loaded, a lot of other text and then "*ERROR* panic occured, switching back to text console, and then the comptuer is frozen again. I've tried going into the grub menu and booting from older kernels, but the same thing happens. I've also tried reinstalling ubuntu through a live CD image in a USB stick and that has also been unsucessful. Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong | 22:16 |
| gmendoza | vlt: cheese' options are very basic... just install and check available preferences. You can always reencode the video after it's been taken if you want. It won't help quality, but it's all up to you. | 22:16 |
| DrWolfen | and what I should do? I've scoured the depths of google and I'm stumped | 22:16 |
| FloodBot1 | DrWolfen: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:16 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: so the partitions are there - what is not recognising the partitions ? | 22:16 |
| BinaryMan | LjL: probably because the program isn't in the ubuntu repo. | 22:16 |
| photocopy | LjL, DasEi, BinaryMan, ikonia, etc; I want to install Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and its not in the repos or in a .deb package as far as my searching yields. | 22:16 |
| ikonia | BinaryMan: let him answer then | 22:17 |
| kanzie | member:DasEi: yep, the full extent of the disk is orange... and on top of the screen I have the same bar but iwth partitions in different colours | 22:17 |
| DasEi | kanzie: for a standard install least need 2 partis, / and swap. ich you choose manual partition, can do so | 22:17 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: the old install (the one with the blue background) of another distro I want to install first | 22:17 |
| imachine | ikonia, nope, nothing on reboot | 22:17 |
| vlt | gmendoza: I already installed it. I can't find out how to finally sace the recorded video clip | 22:17 |
| LjL | BinaryMan: yeah that's possible, but i never assume that, because it often turns out to be a wrong assumption | 22:17 |
| vlt | gmendoza: *save | 22:17 |

| photocopy | DasEi: it has a native version for linux i thought | 22:17 |
| imachine | ikonia, it wasn't standard dpkg info windows, it was some other config stuff. | 22:18 |

| nicanor5 | ikonia: thank you | 22:18 |
| jrib | spiritssight: just sources.list and anything in sources.list.d | 22:18 |

| photocopy | Ouf. alright, well, Ill try following what mneptok/LjL linked me to, but whenever i try and do something like this i always seem to mess it all up ^^ | 22:19 |
| imachine | ikonia, but there's some password issue remaining to be setup | 22:19 |
| ikonia | imachine: did you have to decrypt / mount it manually | 22:19 |
| LjL | photocopy: if you're unsure about any step, ask | 22:19 |
| mneptok | photocopy: so do your gaming on a console as sane people do ;) | 22:19 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: http://www.playdeb.net/software/Enemy%20Territory | 22:20 |
| DasEi | kanzie: hm, it should let you do that, the alternate installer has advanced options in partioning, but if you can choose whole disk, maual also should work | 22:20 |
| photocopy | mneptok: haha, a good friend of mine still plays this, and wants me to play | 22:20 |
| imachine | ikonia, like I said, I just skipped the windows | 22:20 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: you'll proabably want to read http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install too | 22:20 |
| kanzie | DasEi: I got it now, stupid mistake on my part, not to familiar with UI :-) | 22:20 |
| LjL | photocopy: oh, if it's on playdeb, that might be a better idea. (yeah i googled a little too, but didn't hit playdeb) | 22:20 |
| ikonia | imachine: sorry, I didn't explain that clearly. to use /home do you have to manually unencrypt and mount it manually ? | 22:20 |
| kanzie | ext4.. wow, is it working well? | 22:20 |
| imachine | nope | 22:20 |
| DasEi | kanzie: y, got to choose before that window | 22:20 |
| ikonia | imachine: so it works fine as is ? | 22:21 |
| jellow | VCoolio, Still same error | 22:21 |
| imachine | ikonia, the message in the window said that while it works, a password needs to be setup in case of an emergency recovery | 22:21 |
| kanzie | DasEi: and 1.5xRAM is good for SWAP? | 22:21 |
| BinaryMan | LjL: i used to play ET on Ubuntu. went through the whole hassle of getting it to work and used playdeb to get it. | 22:21 |
| ikonia | imachine: ahhh I see | 22:21 |
| imachine | currently if emergency occurs, I just loose data, that's what I would assume | 22:21 |
| imachine | ikonia, anyway, I just want to trigger those mechanisms behind the windows | 22:21 |
| photocopy | BinaryMan: Are those links supposed to work? firefox says that type isnt associated with anything, it's called "apt" so i assume somehow its a link that tries to make apt automatically install it? | 22:21 |
| imachine | ikonia, sorry that I can't word the "window" any better | 22:21 |
| BinaryMan | i just needed google to find the link for it. | 22:22 |
| ikonia | imachine: no, you'd have to decypt it manually | 22:22 |
| ikonia | imachine: I know what you mean, it's fine | 22:22 |
| imachine | safe :) | 22:22 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: did you read the second link I gave you? | 22:22 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install | 22:22 |
| ikonia | imachine: as long as you know the password, you can decrypt it manually in an emergency | 22:22 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: it's me again, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04, and again the installation can't recognize the partitions, of my HD, the only option I get is: new partition table | 22:22 |
| imachine | ikonia, so, any clues as to how I might go on about launching those windows once more ? | 22:22 |
| photocopy | BinaryMan: oh okay oops | 22:22 |
| CAPcap | if i go to a site that has fonts that i could use for windows, how can i install them here? | 22:22 |
| imachine | ikonia, I'd still like that, ideally | 22:22 |
| CAPcap | windows u just drag and drop | 22:22 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: I find that hard to beleieve, if your sudo fdisk -l command shows it - it can see the partitions | 22:23 |
| LjL | !fonts > CAPcap (CAPcap, see the private message from ubottu) | 22:23 |
| kanzie | DasEi: so I make / primary and swap logical then? | 22:23 |
| DasEi | kanzie: depends.. to hibenate double RAM, I dont use swap at all | 22:23 |
| trism | CAPcap: generally you can put them in ~/.fonts | 22:23 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: When adding the deb address, replace karmic-getdeb to jaunty if your using jaunty, etc. If you're using karmic, you're all set. | 22:23 |
| ikonia | imachine: how do you know it doesn't want you to do that manually when you press next (I've never heard of a tool setting it up for you) | 22:23 |
| DasEi | kanzie no matter prim/log | 22:23 |

| Nz17 | ikonia: am helping is hundreds of miles away and has no disc. | 22:24 |
| imachine | but there was no 'back' button:) | 22:24 |
| ikonia | Nz17: he needs to go and buy some them | 22:24 |
| jrib | spiritssight: thanks. Have you installed anything outside the repositories? | 22:24 |
| ikonia | imachine: it may just be "for your information" rather than a tool | 22:25 |
| dbruhn | ikonia, I can't seem to find an alternate intaller for what I need. I need 9.04 server | 22:25 |
| imachine | installing language support now.. only the disk issue stays fishy | 22:25 |
| Nz17 | ikonia: That's not an option - no money and the nearest place is 20 miles away. | 22:25 |
| dbruhn | and I need to modify the initrd | 22:25 |
| dbruhn | for the intaller | 22:25 |
| imachine | ikonia, I'm pretty sure it's a tool, I've used it before 90% | 22:25 |
| ikonia | dbruhn: the server cd does not have an alternative installer, as it's a text based installer any way | 22:25 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: what do you mean? | 22:25 |
| DasEi | Nz17: install via usb ? | 22:25 |
| ikonia | imachine: ahh, I've never used it | 22:25 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: what partitioning option did you select, you should have multiple choices | 22:25 |
| imachine | ya, encrypted home sounds nice:) | 22:25 |
| imachine | specially on a laptop | 22:25 |
| dbruhn | oh sorry maybe I am in on a second conversation | 22:25 |
| BinaryMan | the server cd doesn't come with X or a window manager either, afaik. it's really intended for servers. | 22:26 |
| BinaryMan | thus, 'server' cd. | 22:26 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: I have installed ubuntu and other distros a lot of times, and never happened this before | 22:26 |
| imachine | there used to be an 'alternate' cd | 22:26 |
| imachine | or so | 22:26 |
| imachine | maybe that;s what he means | 22:26 |
| ikonia | imachine: there is | 22:26 |
| BinaryMan | imachine: except benchmarks on it show that it's murders disk read/write performance. | 22:26 |
| * imachine is not really paying attention, soz | 22:26 | |
| ikonia | nicanor5: ok - so which partitioning option did you chose | 22:26 |
| imachine | :) | 22:27 |
| ikonia | imachine: just not for the server release | 22:27 |
| Nz17 | ikonia: Turns out there was a defect with the CD. Thanks anyway, guys. | 22:27 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: the only two options I get when I get to the partitioning part are: use all the disk and manually specify partitions | 22:27 |
| ikonia | Nz17: good find | 22:27 |
| imachine | brb | 22:27 |
| BinaryMan | and a lot of sensitive data is kept in swap, /opt, and /var | 22:27 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: and what happens when you select manual | 22:27 |
| photocopy | BinaryMan: I went here and http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/9.04/?category=FPS#how_to_install installed the playdeb package but the install link still does the same thing. the browser isn't handling the command that link seems to be giving it. "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (apt) isn't associated with any program." makes sense. What do I do? | 22:27 |
| BinaryMan | if you're going to bother with encryption, just go the full partition with LUKS route. | 22:27 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: the only active option is: new partition table | 22:27 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: I find that hard to accept | 22:28 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: as I told you, I'm as surprised as you | 22:28 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: the only other option is when you partitioned the disk it was no created properly | 22:28 |
| ikonia | nicanor5: try using the alternative CD that does not use gparted, see if that sees your partitions at install time | 22:29 |
| nicanor5 | ikonia: yeah, I think that's the only option left | 22:29 |
| BinaryMan | photocopy: open up a terminal window and run 'sudo apt-get install apturl' | 22:29 |

| DasEi | jellow: mount tells you | 22:45 |

| Ferris- | Ive been trying for four days to get my Atheros onboard wireless chip to work with ubuntu. Im using an acer aspire 3680-2682. Ive gotten it to work once, so i know it's possible, and i have a backup of the OS it worked with. It was a wubi install, though, and i have no windows install to play with it. | 22:47 |
| seren | ikonia: could it be orbit? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | imachine: very possible, but I don't know the tool your talking about and don't have a test system to hand at the moment | 22:47 |
| imachine | ikonia, do you know who may perhaphs know more about the entire homedir encryption thing ? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | seren: the message suggests it could be, but I don't know why that would be a problem | 22:47 |
| Ferris- | any tips? ^_^ i tried the one on the forums you've got a bot linking to. | 22:47 |

| soreau | roracle: You probably have permissions issues from running as root or with sudo. To fix it, run the following as your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER ~/.gconf* | 22:54 |
| csh | jack5463, that is a very interesting thing. It could be written in Perl easily *or Python*. I think there are similar scripts already out there, but they may not be written specifically for chats, and may not format text in the exact way you want. Haven't looked for 'em, though. | 22:54 |
| DasEi | jellow: even it wasnt mounted for user, chown should have done it | 22:54 |
| imachine | didn't know, said it off the top of my head tbh ;p | 22:54 |

| giemini | tfh: as i can see you've got 5 partitions there: sdb1 sda2 sdb3 sda4 sda1, just make 5 different dirs somehere and then add 5 lines to your fstab: for example: /dev/sda1 /media/my_disk_1 ext4 defaults 0 0 | 22:57 |

| imachine | but I don't know if there is a tool for that ? | 22:58 |
| jack5463 | csh, i saw someone using emacs with the google translator attached... it worked good... but he left before i could get any details.. he said he wrote the program with emacs and used emacs as irc | 22:58 |
| wish^ | i guess not then | 22:58 |
| roracle | effects are defaulted to none | 22:58 |
| DasEi | prefrontal_: what do you mean to work with flash ? if the driver is supported, can use it | 22:58 |

| chisel_ | my rars aren't extracting all the sudden. google is no help yet. any suggestions? | 23:03 |
| Viddy_ | I'll mention it in the mac support forums, but my macbook 4,1 in any of the default 9.10 kernels would suspend, then when turned on again, wouldn't resume in any real manner - keyboard lights wouldn't even change. Compiling 2.6.32.4 from source and installing fixed this issue. | 23:03 |
| blakkheim | chisel_: unrar x filename.rar | 23:03 |
| Like | i have a high cuality question for a good answers | 23:03 |
| seren | chisel_: what is the error | 23:04 |
| iflema | wish^ windows installer? the Ubuntu installer will allow you to resize/chopup your hdd to make room for ubuntu and your vista will be safe... but as always backup first? | 23:04 |
| tucemiux | my guest OS is XP but it has no internet access, anyone experienced the same issue? | 23:04 |
| trism | csh: oh you also have unbalanced parenthesis in percentage (either drop the one just after print or add another to the end of that line) | 23:04 |
| henux | ikonia: the problem is that autologging is not compatible with encrypted hd | 23:04 |
| chisel_ | seren: Unknown error | 23:04 |
| DasEi | prefrontal_: ah, well my logolink webcam can do so, but I really wonder if you can skype-use it, shall work in that dialog, too | 23:04 |

| cisco21c | Since usb-creator.exe doesn't exist on the 9.10 i386 image. Unetbootin is my alt. method? | 23:05 |
| tucemiux | wish^, there is a windows installer for ubuntu, it's called wubi, you can install it within windows | 23:05 |
| ikonia | henux: I've not used that combination | 23:05 |
| Roasted_ | Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? | 23:05 |
| spiritssight | jrib: No I have not installed any thing that I can recall (nope :-) ) sorry for the delay was eating | 23:05 |
| henux | yeo | 23:05 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: yes, or pendrivelinux | 23:05 |
| jrib | spiritssight: pastebin: apt-cache policy libgnomekbd2 | 23:05 |
| henux | problem solved | 23:05 |
| henux | 9.10 is not very good IMO | 23:05 |
| Like | x-fi xtreme audio work but dont put speakers ? | 23:05 |
| henux | im going to sleep now, its 1:00 AM | 23:06 |
| Roasted_ | 9.10 certainly isnt as bad as most people think | 23:06 |
| Roasted_ | Ill say that much | 23:06 |
| chisel_ | blakkheim: i've installed unrar and done what you've suggested, to no avail. but thanks for the try | 23:06 |
| iflema | wish^ no wubi.... try the live environment first to see all goes well then do a native install. | 23:06 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: on a machine with enough ram can also install usbcreator in a live cd | 23:06 |
| henux | Roasted_: it has been the worst ubuntu experience so far, too much problems with no gains | 23:06 |
| henux | for me | 23:06 |
| adac | I installed kubuntu-desktop now. But now I have on boot screen first the kubuntu loading, then the ubuntu loading grafic. Also when I login to gnome I have the kde mouse and mouse loading...any ideas? | 23:06 |
| henux | see you, im going to zzzz | 23:06 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: unetbootin is there for win, too | 23:06 |
| Roasted_ | henux - to each his own. Its been the best for me. And besides, I doubt the devs care much about 9.10 bugs when 10.04 is an LTS... can you blame them? | 23:07 |
| jack5463 | csh, mIRC has a script that incorporates google translator i believe... saw it in a search but didn't read more | 23:07 |
| === jens is now known as Guest89132 | ||
| jrib | Roasted_: every release everyone claims $previous_release was the best, this release is the worst. Basically people get used to certain bugs and then there are new ones they aren't used to | 23:07 |
| Roasted_ | yeah, I agree jrib | 23:07 |
| csh | trism: ok. I was hesitant to write "for var in list[]". Hehe, I guess i should have tried it... | 23:07 |
| Roasted_ | I remember people badmouthing 9.04. then all of the sudden 9.04 is top dog. what the?? | 23:08 |
| tucemiux | Roasted_, the devs will try to look at the bugs, have you filed a bug report in launch pad? | 23:08 |
| Roasted_ | filed a bug? I dont have any problems with 9.10. :P | 23:08 |
| Like | any one know open gl codec for x-fi xtreme audio pci-e ? | 23:08 |
| seren | ikonia: i created a new user, deleted the old user, now same problem persists with the old user | 23:08 |
| ikonia | Like: opengl is nothing to do with your audio problems | 23:08 |
| Roasted_ | tucemiux, my point was I doubt the same manpower for 9.10 bug crunching is there in comparison to 9.04. With 10.04 being around the corner, and an LTS, Id certainly put mye nergy towards 10.04, moreso than normal. | 23:08 |
| jack5463 | i'm using 9.10 and no problems from live cd | 23:08 |
| spiritssight | jrib: http://pastebin.com/d6c1cb94e | 23:09 |
| ikonia | seren: so at least you know it's system wide - not that, that helps | 23:09 |
| trism | csh: you could also do for i in range(len(list_a)): percentage(list_a[i], list_b[i]), but I think using zip is nicer | 23:09 |
| Nihilo | hi | 23:09 |
| uffdaa | can one install kernel 2.6.32.4.generic into a 9.04 jaunty? | 23:09 |

| DasEi | uffdaa: yes | 23:09 |
| ikonia | seren: oooh | 23:09 |
| jrib | spiritssight: that suggests that package isn't from any ubuntu repository | 23:09 |
| tucemiux | Roasted_, my point is, have you posted a bug report or not, this conversation is going off topic | 23:09 |
| Like | why not open sound system | 23:09 |
| uffdaa | DasEi; thanks | 23:10 |

| conb123 | IS ubuntu 64 bit fully supported yet because i just got a core i7 but i don't know whether to get 32 bit or 64. | 23:10 |
| Roasted_ | tucemiux, my point is, as I said, I DONT have any bugs. | 23:10 |
| DasEi | conb123: yes, it is | 23:10 |
| conb123 | DasEi: Oh brilliant | 23:10 |

| kronosx1 | hello all. big time noob here | 23:11 |
| seren | is their any way to search the filesystem for files owned by a specific user? | 23:11 |
| spiritssight | jrib: what the best way to do that | 23:11 |
| blakkheim | conb123: how much ram do you have | 23:12 |
| jrib | spiritssight: use synaptic. After you do that pastebin the apt-cache policy result for the other 3 packages in http://pastebin.com/d5d53c81f | 23:12 |
| conb123 | blakkheim: 4gb why? | 23:12 |
| trumpen | seren, from the command line, sudo find / -user $username | 23:12 |
| blakkheim | conb123: i was going to say you might want to use 32bit if you have 4gb or less | 23:13 |
| seren | trumpen: thanks i was digging through man find | 23:13 |
| conb123 | blakkheim: Yeah i've heard people say that, but 64 bit is faster isn't it and if all the applications support it i don't see much reason not to | 23:13 |
| blakkheim | conb123: no, 64bit applications are not all faster, only a select few have any speed benefit | 23:14 |
| blakkheim | conb123: in most cases the 64bit apps are actually bigger, require more ram and are slower | 23:14 |
| trumpen | seren, yw | 23:14 |
| Neremor | I'm using the program "LuckyBackup" to create backups of my user data, for example my Thunderbird Profile folder. But I've a question about that: As BackUp method i choose "Backup the entire source directory (by name)". Now I've a simple example to show my question: I have three addons installed in thunderbird and create the backup. Now I remove two of these addons because I don't like them. Also the addon-files in the thunderbird profile | 23:14 |
| Neremor | folder are deleted now. If i run the backup again, are these files also deleted in the target-folder? Or contains the target folder everything the source folder has EVER been containing? | 23:14 |
| cxo | slower? thats not true, especially for the "most cases" | 23:14 |
| blakkheim | cxo: slower to open, let me clarify | 23:15 |
| conb123 | blakkheim: Really? I thought other than the possibility of more than 4gb of ram the added speed was the whole point of 64 bit | 23:15 |
| blakkheim | conb123: more than 4gb of ram is pretty much "the" reason to use 64bit | 23:15 |
| Neremor | Or well, what I want is something like completly removing the already existing backup before running it again. | 23:15 |
| morphix | blakkheim: heh, there is a considerable difference between converting videos and such using 32bit and 64bit | 23:16 |
| greentiger | what's a good resource for setting up linux client/servers in an enterprise type environment like you would for windows and active directory? | 23:16 |
| blakkheim | 64-bit data structures can take up more space in the L1/L2/L3 caches which may cause code to run somewhat slower | 23:16 |
| DasEi | greentiger: ldap | 23:16 |
| cisco21c | There's no boot from USB in my BIOS, just: floppy diskette drive, hard drive, cd-rom drive and network adapter. what now? | 23:17 |
| morphix | i am yet to see this "slow down" for 64bit | 23:17 |
| jophish | is it possible to create a user who can only see into one directory, and has no permissions apart from that. | 23:17 |
| francesco__ | [EWG]-maje11 XDCC SEND #7 | 23:17 |
| jophish | no home folder for example | 23:17 |
| morphix | so far, for the past.. 3-4 years ive been running on 64bit only linux, i have not noticed such a thing | 23:17 |
| greentiger | DasEi: obviously, but i mean like a howto | 23:17 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: no usb boot then, though did you stick in the usb before looking ? | 23:18 |

| Drew3 | Hi FOlks I am finding it an impossible task to set up my nvidia dual monitors. after 10's of hours of trying google I was looking for a kind soul here. The latest problem is the gnome Panel disappears after Login, leaving no way to get apps of any kind. | 23:18 |
| jrib | blakkheim: use « sudo -i » not « sudo su » | 23:18 |
| blakkheim | beenbassin: i knew someone would jump on that and start the "dont use root" etc | 23:18 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, what nvidia card are you using | 23:18 |
| Drew3 | 8600gt roasted | 23:19 |
| Roasted_ | what drivers were you using? | 23:19 |
| Roasted_ | and were you trying to install from the hardware manager? | 23:19 |
| cisco21c | DasEi: Yes, it just skips over everything and goes straight to trying to boot from LAN. | 23:19 |
| Drew3 | 186xx Roasted | 23:19 |
| Roasted_ | do you currently have dual screens running, but just the gnome panel dsiappearing? | 23:20 |
| beenbassin | I have a CD that I had to unhide a file on, how do I undo the unhide so that I can eject? When I try it gives me an error : umount: /media/cdrom0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root) | 23:20 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: I assume you got another machine, you can also drag out the hd of the hp, put it in usb-eclosure and install ubuntu on another machine /w cd or usb boot | 23:20 |
| morphix | cisco21c: sure there is no "removable devices" option in boot settings? | 23:20 |

| jrib | cisco21c: ... | 23:24 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, the only thing I can recommend is to boot in terminal mode, run sudo nvidia-xconfig, reboot, and log in as normal and hope the primary monitor works. After that, run sudo nvidia-settings and see if you can set up dual monitors without it acting up on you. | 23:24 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: if you plan to use it for 2,5" only, can even just use a usb adaptor, <= 10 Euro, newegg or ebay or .. whatever | 23:24 |

| Drew3 | Roasted nvidia-xconfig hmm ty | 23:25 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, its worth a shot. I did it recently. | 23:26 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: if you that way, install base-system, put back hd, boot to safemode, reconfigure x and do an update/grade | 23:26 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, Im running dual monitors on a nvidia 9600gt. | 23:26 |
| DasEi | go | 23:26 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, I had to run nvidia-xconfig in order to generate a xorg file to save video settings in. Then in nvidia-settings I applied it to the xorg.conf in the actual menu. Its a button right below "Apply" I think | 23:26 |
| lakotajames | Hi guys. I have ubuntu and debian installed dual boot. I don't really know what i'm doing. They each have 15gb partitions, and a shared home. I can boot into ubuntu, but when i pick the debian thing in the grub menu it won't let me. Is that because I didn't install a boot loader for debian? | 23:27 |
| cisco21c | Base-system meaning WinXP that came with it? | 23:27 |
| jack5463 | does mibbit work with ubuntu? | 23:27 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: no, you first installed debian, then karmic ? | 23:28 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: no, Ubuntu, but dont update from installer | 23:28 |
| lakotajames | DasEi: I attempted to install debian, but it was taking too long and I needed to use the compy so i stopped it and installed ubuntu on the other partition, which recognized the debian on the first partition. Then i reinstalled debian over the second one. | 23:29 |
| Drew3 | I have had dual working in Mandriva for years, the lack of a xorg.config file baffles me, and it seems the xorg.config files are not transferable from Mandriva to *buntu's. Roasted thanks, | 23:29 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: I see, and now grub just lets you choose ubuntu, well, was that karmic-ubuntu ? | 23:30 |
| cisco21c | So just install Ubuntu using the ISO I've downloaded from the website and update from ubuntu itself? | 23:30 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, Yeah. I recenty came from mandriva to ubuntu myself. Very solid distros, just a bit different. | 23:30 |
| Roasted_ | Drew3, good luck. And dont forget ubuntuforums.org. Very helpful users there. | 23:30 |
| lakotajames | karmic. And it has a choice for debian, but it doesn't work. I can't remember the error. :( | 23:30 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: yes, when back in laptop | 23:30 |
| lakotajames | err. | 23:30 |
| lakotajames | DasEi:karmic. And it has a choice for debian, but it doesn't work. I can't remember the error. :( | 23:30 |
| lakotajames | :p | 23:30 |
| luckyone | quick question, if I wanted to switch from ubuntu to mythbuntu could I just apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop && apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop? | 23:31 |
| Roasted_ | I dont think youd want to do that at the same time | 23:31 |
| lakotajames | DasEi: I mean, the karmic grub has a choice for debian, and when i choose it it gives me an error about not being able to find something, or something being missing , or something. | 23:31 |
| Roasted_ | maybe install mythbuntu, boot to it, THEN remove ubuntu-desktop | 23:31 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: karmic comes with grub2, I think debian is still grub1, you will have to manually adjust /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:32 |
| ZogsterJack | looking for aid with a local web dev lamp server setup | 23:32 |
| Roasted_ | install mythbuntu + remove ubuntu-desktop while booted into gnome sounds like a bad idea :P | 23:32 |

| lakotajames | DasEi: I chose not to install a bootloader with debian, since i already had the one in karmic. Do i need to fix that? | 23:32 |
| luckyone | trism: do you think just installing from scratch is a better idea? | 23:32 |
| rahduke | one of my sata drives is a little screwed up, Disk Utility is telling me a number of my sectors are waiting to be remapped. If the sector waiting to be remapped is subsequently written or read successfully this value will be decreased. Read Errors on the sector will not remap the sector, it will only be remapped on a failed write attempt. Basically I have a few bad sectors, whats the fastest/easiest way to fix it? | 23:32 |

| MCSpanner1 | hello, anyone know how to remove a device driver? | 23:33 |
| trism | luckyone: no, I just meant, it isn't going to remove any of the packages ubuntu-desktop installs that aren't needed by mythbuntu-desktop | 23:33 |
| rahduke | its scaring me cuz i have 400 gigs of stuff on it | 23:33 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: no, but then you got grub 2 on it | 23:33 |
| luckyone | trism: I have repurposed a box and want to remove things like gnome, open office, etc | 23:33 |
| boss_mc | MCSpanner1: sudo modprobe -r <driver name> | 23:33 |

| luckyone | trism: so I was hoping to end up with only packages needed by mythbuntu-desktop | 23:34 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: you can use either grub 1 or 2, I would backup mbr in case things get worse, then use super-grub disk (both versions available) and reinstall grub | 23:34 |
| lakotajames | DasEi: where do i install grub to? | 23:35 |
| trism | luckyone: you will need to do that manually, just removing ubuntu-desktop won't do it (although you might be able to remove it with tasksel, but I haven't tried it myself) | 23:35 |
| DasEi | lakotajames: mbr by default | 23:35 |
| MCSpanner1 | cheers | 23:35 |
| DasEi | !mbr | 23:35 |

| rahduke | one of my sata drives is a little screwed up, Disk Utility is telling me a number of my sectors are waiting to be remapped. If the sector waiting to be remapped is subsequently written or read successfully this value will be decreased. Read Errors on the sector will not remap the sector, it will only be remapped on a failed write attempt. Basically I have a few bad sectors, whats the fastest/easiest way to fix it? | 23:37 |
| Jasonrj | Wow, havne't had a power outage in a while. | 23:37 |

| DasEi | inmanix: which version of ubuntu ? | 23:39 |
| DasEi | !version | 23:39 |
| ubottu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 23:39 |
| tweaksource | also find version with cat /etc/issue :) | 23:39 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: if you have bad sectors, its only a matter of time before the disk starts to fail. Will be time for a new drive. | 23:39 |

| DasEi | inmanix: so karmic, see | 23:40 |

| inmanix | DasEi: thanks :) i was also wondering, following my install of ubuntu where i assiged relevant partitions to /home, / and /swap - will they all be where they should be now? | 23:40 |

| hardworkr | how do i change my password? | 23:41 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: what file system format is it? ntfs? ext3/4? | 23:41 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: so there is no way possible that it can be a software error and can b fixeD? | 23:41 |
| DasEi | inmanix: also can use superGrubDisk, an own live cd (google) , but be sure to use a version greater 1 (grub2) | 23:41 |
| cisco21c | DasEi: I will be needing a IDE to usb correct. This is my hard drive: http://h20141.www2.hp.com/Hpparts/PicPop.aspx?mscssid=10A0DF89A4A748B9A66A28892A1F9CD9&PN=367787-001 | 23:41 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: its EXT3 | 23:41 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: its literally 1 badsector.. | 23:42 |
| hardworkr | need password help | 23:42 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: you can run a file system check on it... which may find the bad sectors and mark them not to be writtenn to. but this is just a bandaid. it won't actually repair the sectors. | 23:42 |
| hiexpo | what about password | 23:42 |
| tvjudge | Is there a way to rool back from Ubuntu Jaunty to Intrepid after doing the upgrade via the Update manager? | 23:42 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: and more will start to occur as the lifespan increases. | 23:42 |
| DasEi | cisco21c: that links is no specific model, but common lappy-drives are just 2,5" ide on that hps, so yes | 23:42 |
| hardworkr | i want to change my orginal password but i cant remember it | 23:42 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: check out fsck command | 23:42 |
| powertoo108 | I'm trying to set my PS1 variable in bash. When I enter PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' My prompt becomes \u@\h:\w\$ and not my username at machine name etc. What am I doing wrong? I've also tried double quotes with same result. | 23:43 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: bandaid sound.... do i need to fsck or can i use the selftest in DiskUtility | 23:43 |
| jrib | !password | hardworkr | 23:43 |
| ubottu | hardworkr: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 23:43 |
| DasEi | hardworkr: can you boot safe mode / root with no pw-question ? | 23:43 |

| agreenbhm | can anyone tell me where I might have put a scheduled task on my 9.04 server? | 23:44 |
| agreenbhm | i posted on the forums, but so far no response | 23:44 |
| hiexpo | there ya go i was looking for that | 23:44 |
| tweaksource | quit | 23:44 |
| cisco21c | DasEi: Alright thanks for all the help. | 23:44 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: in order for you to perform a fsck on a disk, it should be unmounted. meaning if it's your current root partition... you should do this from the recovery mode... or from a live cd environment. | 23:44 |
| ice_cream | hi, i recently updated and found stuff like my /etc/resolv.conf cleared | 23:45 |
| agreenbhm | i scheduled my server to reboot daily, but not in crontab or cron daily, mnothy, hourly, etc | 23:45 |
| ice_cream | why does it do this | 23:45 |
| rahduke | its just a storage drive.. | 23:45 |
| gmendoza | cool | 23:45 |
| rahduke | i can run it from terminal no prob i think | 23:45 |
| agreenbhm | anyone know other places i could have scheduled that reboot task? | 23:45 |
| ice_cream | still no slim package | 23:46 |
| * ice_cream sighs | 23:46 | |
| gmendoza | rahduke: then unmount it... and if the partition is /dev/sdb1, run "sudo fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1" | 23:46 |
| DasEi | agreenbhm: they are mostly in /etc/cronBlah, the crontabs | 23:46 |
| rahduke | yup, thanks | 23:46 |
| fx420 | finally | 23:46 |

| fx420 | so can anyone help me out | 23:46 |
| agreenbhm | and my stupid ass didn't document it | 23:46 |
| inmanix | hmm i need a hand with restoring grub2 | 23:47 |
| fx420 | i really screwed my notebook up | 23:47 |
| jrib | agreenbhm: are you positive it's not cron? You stopped cron at the time it usually reboots and it still rebooted? | 23:47 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: how long do u think this will take on a 400gig drive? | 23:47 |
| fx420 | how do i fix error 17 on grub | 23:47 |
| inmanix | iv mounted my ubuntu partition, then it refers to mounting a seperate /boot partition, is that incase iv spread my ubuntu /boot on another partition? | 23:47 |
| csh | fx420: What did you do? | 23:47 |
| fx420 | how do i fix error 17 on grub | 23:48 |
| agreenbhm | jrib: i looked for the string that I typed, but couldn't find it anywhere | 23:48 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: not long... | 23:48 |
| jrib | agreenbhm: so the answer to my question is "no"? | 23:48 |
| agreenbhm | i guess so | 23:48 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: sweet i thought it would take forever | 23:48 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: few mins tops... | 23:48 |
| jrib | agreenbhm: what do you mean by "the string that I typed"? | 23:48 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: yeah no sweat, really. | 23:48 |
| fx420 | so any quick fixs | 23:48 |

| === Guest28767 is now known as Stx | ||
| agreenbhm | it was a long time ago | 23:49 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: very cool, and your saying this is not just a random bad sector, its systemic and an indication of imminent and inevitable failure of my drive | 23:49 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: just keep an eye on it. if yer running 9.10 the disk monitoring works very well. It ties into the SMART capabilities of the drive, and the warnings are there for a reason. Just keep an eye out so you dont end up losing your data. | 23:49 |
| fx420 | well it work if i take it out and hook it up to my desktop | 23:49 |
| jrib | agreenbhm: and it reboots at midnight? | 23:49 |
| agreenbhm | yes | 23:49 |
| DasEi | agreenbhm: doesnt your syslog contain info about what caused reboot ? | 23:49 |
| gmendoza | rahduke: Correct. Usually... and you'll definitely start noticing system slow downs because of disk read errors. | 23:50 |
| agreenbhm | where is the syslog? you'll have to forgive my n00b skillz | 23:50 |
| jrib | agreenbhm: I'd turn of the cron daemon at 11:50 and verify it still reboots | 23:50 |
| jrib | off even | 23:50 |
| hardworkr | is there a safe way to reset my password somehow i forgot it | 23:50 |
| DasEi | agreenbhm: /var/log/syslog | 23:50 |
| rahduke | gmendoza: yea it's been randomly not showing the files on it and sometimes not even mounting during boot | 23:50 |
| jrib | hardworkr: read the link ubottu gave you before. | 23:50 |
| DasEi | hardworkr: can you boot safe mode / root with no pw-question ? | 23:50 |
| fx420 | i had to go out and buy a pci & ata raid and ide controller will this work so i can wipe my hard drive or fix the error 17 | 23:51 |
