| benkay86 | arand: That would be funny if GRUB2 weren't the default bootloader. | 00:00 |
| arand | benkay86: Otherwise http://grub.enbug.org/CommandList seems to have some doc for most of the commands | 00:00 |
| benkay86 | arand: It just points to the documentation from legacy GRUB. | 00:01 |
| apollo | nothing... | 00:01 |
| benkay86 | apollo: OK. Let's try pressing Escape to go back to the menu. Could you please remind me what options are there? | 00:02 |

| apollo | the title is GNU GRUB version 1.97~beta4 the options are as follows: | 00:02 |
| arand | benkay86: ah, right.. | 00:03 |
| bioinfolabo | Can anyone help me with a sound issue? | 00:03 |
| * mado will wait then | 00:03 | |
| apollo | ubuntu, linux 2.6.31-14-generic the next option is that with (recovery mode) after it | 00:03 |

| Toink | ikonia, adding rootfstype=ext2 to boot parms does boot me with / mounted as ext2. Rebooting with default parms gives me / mounted as ext3 again | 00:04 |
| Carci | Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem I'm facing? "err:wave:wodPlayer_WriteMaxFrags Error in writing wavehdr. Reason: Resource temporarily unavailable" | 00:05 |
| benkay86 | apollo: First off, trying the "recovery" option might just get us somewhere. If that fails, the memtest86 almost always works. If that fails too, then I'm going to go bang my head against a wall. | 00:05 |
| bioinfolabo | Okay. So whenever I leave my computer running for a extended period of time I come back to find that sound wont work at all. I used to close firefox and then do ps aux | grep firefox and kill it again because it wouldnt close for some reason. After that sound comes back when I re open firefox | 00:05 |
| bioinfolabo | now I have moved to chrome... and it wont work again | 00:05 |
| bioinfolabo | and I am tired of rebooting | 00:05 |
| phoenixz | What would be the recommended plugin to use for firefox flash? AFAIK, NOT The adobe one, since it.. sucks.. but I want to be able to do pretty much everything with flash like youtube video, and well, all needed for normal browsing.. | 00:05 |
| mado | DasEi, yes | 00:06 |
| jrib | phoenixz: adobe flash | 00:06 |
| apollo | stuff is happening with recovery mode. a bunch of commands... it stopped at 3.172183 | 00:06 |
| phoenixz | jrib: But isnt that the one causing lots of trouble, slow, etc? | 00:06 |
| jrib | phoenixz: yep | 00:06 |
| DasEi | bioinfolabo: can have a couple of reasons, checked your syslog about alsa and pulseaudio ? | 00:06 |
| phoenixz | jrib: yet its the recommended one.. as in, the alternatives suck worse? | 00:07 |
| benkay86 | apollo: If it's stuck, could you tell me what the last line says? | 00:07 |
| jrib | phoenixz: you can try gnash, but it won't run everything you encounter | 00:07 |
| bioinfolabo | Im a linux newbie. Unfortunately I have been sheltered all my life with windows... | 00:07 |
| DasEi | mado : which was it ? (the applet) I tend to delete it, if something is missing, remove --purge gdm from out of x and reinstall it | 00:07 |
| bioinfolabo | where is syslog? | 00:07 |
| DasEi | bioinfolabo: /var/log/syslog | 00:08 |
| mado | DasEi, er ... i don't know how to reinstall applets ... plus ... i already miss some applets | 00:08 |
| ardchoille | How would I start a second xorg instance and log in as the same user but in a different window manager? | 00:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | bioinfolabo, are you killing chrome like you did firefox and audio is not coming back? just clarifying | 00:08 |
| ardchoille | Is that even possible? | 00:08 |
| DasEi | bioinfolabo: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /var/log/syslog | 00:09 |
| jrib | ardchoille: want the easy way or hard way? | 00:09 |
| bioinfolabo | I tried to kill chrome but sound is still nogo | 00:09 |

| benkay86 | apollo: What's going on? | 00:09 |
| ardchoille | jrib: Easy, to begin with | 00:09 |
| apollo | thats where it stopped | 00:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, that use to be possible - but you need two different users now with GDM | 00:09 |
| jrib | ardchoille: use gdmflexiserver, it will spawn a new gdm for you to log into. Hit options to change the window manager | 00:09 |
| === monty_boy is now known as montyboy | ||
| apollo | does that help? | 00:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, if you try with the same user it is going to fail... | 00:10 |
| DasEi | mado: gnome-applets are a collection of the most common ones | 00:10 |
| benkay86 | apollo: That's... unusual. What kind of netbook did you say you had? | 00:10 |
| apollo | hp mini 311 1000nr | 00:10 |
| apollo | came with win xp installed | 00:10 |
| ardchoille | jrib: Ah, cool, I have that installed already for screenshots of gdm | 00:11 |
| mado | DasEi, which means? ... i'm sorry ... i'm a beginner | 00:11 |
| ardchoille | jrib: curiosity is getting the better of me, what's the hard way? | 00:11 |
| bioinfolabo | i gotta run to cloass | 00:11 |
| jrib | ardchoille: I haven't used gdmflexiserver in several releases by the way | 00:11 |
| bioinfolabo | ill be back later for help.. | 00:11 |
| mado | DasEi also called "apprentice" :) | 00:11 |
| jrib | ardchoille: use startx with the right options | 00:11 |
| DasEi | mado: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm && sudo apt-get install gnome-applets | 00:11 |
| benkay86 | apollo: OK. I'm going to look and see if there are any known issues with your netbook. In the meanwhile, could you try rebooting and choosing the "windows vista (loader)" option? Remember, you'll have to press a button (like escape) before GRUB decides to boot the default option. | 00:12 |
| apollo | kk | 00:12 |
| ardchoille | jrib: Ah, thanks very much | 00:12 |
| DasEi | mado: answer the question of your issue to be deleted with yes | 00:12 |

| ardchoille | jrib: I think ZykoticK9 is right, it won't let me do it with the same user | 00:16 |

Unfortunately, biosdisk creates a Grub-legacy entry: "title BIOS upgrade" "kernel /boot/memdisk" "initrd /boot/biosupdate.img". How does this translate to a Grub2 entry? I tried boot /* and initrd /* but it doesn't work | 00:16 |
| snoopy | how can i check what my sound card is? | 00:16 |
| mado | the e.g. "bluetooth" / "network" ones | 00:16 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Exactly what do you mean by "failed to start"? | 00:16 |
| apollo | thats what the first line says | 00:16 |
| renamon | help? | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, since 9.10 i don't think it will allow the same user to log in | 00:16 |
| DasEi | snoopy: lspci or lshw, filter by grep | 00:16 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Oh. Well, I suppose that would be faily definitive. | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: Sounds like a very good security measure | 00:17 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Out of curiosity (because it shouldn't matter), did you try to install Ubuntu or the Ubuntu netbook remix? | 00:17 |
| arand | benkay86: Here's documentation for search btw: http://imagebin.org/83083 (vbox is convenient;) | 00:17 |
| apollo | ubuntu | 00:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, the GDM setup program that was removed in karmic, had a checkbox to allow it 9.04andearlier | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: Ah, yeah | 00:18 |
| apollo | there is a specified file and status | 00:18 |
| benkay86 | arand: The other thing that irks me about GRUB2 is that the only way to obtain the information you just got is to reboot. In legacy grub, it was possible to go to the grub prompt simply by running "grub". | 00:18 |
| DasEi | snoopy: lspci | grep audio | 00:18 |
| DasEi | !sound > snoopy | 00:18 |
| ubottu | snoopy, please see my private message | 00:18 |
| benkay86 | apollo: What file and status? | 00:18 |
| apollo | file: \ntldr status:0xc0000225 | 00:18 |
| arand | benkay86: indeed.. | 00:18 |

| renamon | can anyone help me???? | 00:19 |
| DasEi | renamon: so run it | 00:19 |
| renamon | i did and it still isnt working. | 00:19 |
| DasEi | renamon: sudo-dpkg configure -a | 00:19 |
| DasEi | you did ? | 00:20 |
| renamon | yeah and it no working | 00:20 |
| benkay86 | arand, apollo: OK, so it looks like GRUB2 is actually working just fine since it is able to load both the Linux kernel and the Windows bootloader. The problem seems to be somewhere later in the boot process. | 00:20 |
| apollo | 'windows has failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause. to fix the problem: 1.installtion disk 2.chooselanguage 3. click repair if that doesn't work contact for assistance | 00:20 |
| DasEi | renamon: k, sth. else , (will log you off) : | 00:20 |
| apollo | ok | 00:20 |
| renamon | huh? | 00:20 |
| jrib | renamon: pastebin the actual output. | 00:20 |
| mantis | Hi guys. I accidently put a desktop application in the background with ctrl-z. How can i get it back ? | 00:20 |

| jrib | mantis: fg | 00:21 |
| mado | DasEi, can i restart now? | 00:21 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Is there actually a repair button to click? | 00:21 |
| jrib | mantis: google: bash job control | 00:21 |
| DasEi | renamon: sudo init 1 , from that menu choose first netroot, then enter exit, then dpkg... | 00:21 |
| DasEi | mado : y | 00:21 |
| renamon | wheres the paste bin? | 00:21 |
| DasEi | !paste | 00:21 |

| apollo | no that would be in the installation disk (which i don't have) | 00:21 |
| jrib | DasEi: why would renamon need to do that? | 00:21 |
| mantis | thanks | 00:21 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Ah. Yes, I can see how the Windows XP install *CD* wouldn't be very useful here. | 00:21 |
| DasEi | jrib: apt is broken, configure a not working.. | 00:22 |
| mado | DasEi, see you later | 00:22 |
| apollo | next plan of attack? | 00:23 |
| apollo | you said memory test always works or something... | 00:23 |
| renamon | now its saying unable to get exclusive lock. what the heck does that mean????? | 00:23 |
| DasEi | renamon: apt has a lock file | 00:23 |

| cookta2012 | ! compiz | cookta2012 | 00:24 |
| ubottu | cookta2012, please see my private message | 00:24 |
| jrib | renamon: you need to actually pastebin what you are doing and the output so we know what's going on. | 00:24 |
| apollo | with serial console or no? what does memtest do? | 00:24 |
| DasEi | renamon: see above lines | 00:24 |
| renamon | wheres the pastebin!?! | 00:25 |
| DasEi | ... | 00:25 |
| benkay86 | apollo: The particular Windows error message you gave me means that the Windows bootloader can't find the file ntldr.exe. | 00:25 |
| jrib | renamon: paste.ubuntu.com if you want | 00:25 |
| benkay86 | apollo: memtest will test your computer's RAM for errors. It's quite harmless to run, since it doesn't touch your hard drive. | 00:25 |
| apollo | ok so what about ntldr.exe | 00:26 |
| benkay86 | apollo: The serial console is useful for computers without monitors, a dilemma you do not have. | 00:26 |
| apollo | ok | 00:26 |
| renamon | wat do i need to paste here? | 00:26 |
| benkay86 | apollo: As far as I know, the only way to see that error message is if the partition number of your Windows partition was changed, but I don't think that's the case here... | 00:27 |
| DasEi | renamon: the output from sudo apt-get update | 00:27 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Moreover, Linux shouldn't freeze on boot without displaying some sort of error message :-( | 00:27 |
| apollo | i shifted that partition to left using gparted. there was unallocated space before my partition | 00:28 |
| renamon | nvm it just started to wark. YAYS!!!!! | 00:28 |
| DasEi | apollo: unset the quiet/splash in grub, can have output | 00:28 |
| ardchoille | ZykoticK9: And I see that you can't disable the user list in gdm either | 00:28 |
| apollo | what? | 00:28 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Oh, that may actually have caused the problem. | 00:28 |
| apollo | cool. how to fix? | 00:28 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: I believe that's what booting in recovery mode does. | 00:28 |
| DasEi | renamon: the recovery automates some apt-locks, so be fine then | 00:29 |
| renamon | one more small q. is it possible to have diff backgrounds on diff desktops on the same system? | 00:29 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: I recall the last line apollo described was just some IRQ enumeration. Nothing to suggest anything was amiss. | 00:29 |
| DasEi | benkay86: if configured so, recovery halts on an eralier intialisation | 00:30 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: What do you mean? | 00:30 |
| DasEi | earlier* | 00:30 |
| mado | DasEi, ok ... i'm back ... but it still didn't do the trick ... the applets that were once there when ubuntu was freshly installed still aren't here | 00:30 |
| apollo | should i try recovery mode again jsut for shits and giggs? | 00:30 |
| DasEi | mado : like which ? | 00:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, gdm customization and grub customization or kinda missing in karmic... | 00:30 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Sure, DasEi may want to know what the output looks like. | 00:30 |
| renamon | one more small q. is it possible to have diff backgrounds on diff desktops on the same system? | 00:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | ardchoille, s/or/are | 00:31 |

| andre_ | I'm trying to intall ubuntu, i formated the partitions using gparted, but when it comes the part of "prepar partitions" no data is shown | 00:41 |
| andre_ | any help??? | 00:41 |
| andre_ | pleassee | 00:41 |
| Pici | !ASK | andre_ | 00:41 |
| ubottu | andre_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 00:41 |
| blakkheim | !please | andre_ | 00:41 |
| ubottu | andre_: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 00:41 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: you could just leave part of the hd unallocated. and tell the installer to use/auto partion the unallocated space. | 00:42 |
| apollo | do you need the url? | 00:42 |
| benkay86 | apollo: OK, I'm looking at this: http://imagebin.org/83087 | 00:42 |
| mado | DasEi, ? | 00:42 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Does your netbook have a numlock or capslock light, and are they flashing right now? | 00:42 |
| andre_ | Dr_Willis, i already did that still no changes, no data is displayed | 00:42 |
| apollo | no numb lock and caps lock is not flashing | 00:42 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: check 'sudo fdisk -l' output see if the hd is seen at all. | 00:42 |
| DasEi | mado: digging nm-applet, second | 00:43 |
| looter | i was trying to figure out a way to edit my /var/www files through scite instead of with sudo through command line and i think in an attempt i messed up my user groups.....apache2 is now returning bad group name www-data when i try to reload or restart it. any ideas how to fix this? | 00:43 |
| andre_ | Dr_Willis, in live cd? | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: yes.. | 00:43 |
| benkay86 | apollo: What happens if you press Alt+F2? | 00:43 |
| andre_ | Dr_Willis, it does reconignze the disk... | 00:43 |
| mado | DasEi, ok ... i wait right here :) | 00:43 |
| apollo | nothign | 00:43 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: thers been some cases where some sata/raid/other controllers have not been seen properly by the installer.. but thats about all i know on the topic | 00:44 |
| benkay86 | apollo: What about Ctrl+Alt+Del, which would ordinarily prompt a reboot? | 00:44 |
| ectraz | anyone willing to take a look at my XBMC radeon issue if i give out SSH access? | 00:44 |
| andre_ | Dr_Willis, the disk is ata | 00:44 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: im not sure how else to make it see them | 00:44 |
| apollo | nope | 00:44 |
| andre_ | Dr_Willis, i tried debian install and it found the disk... :( | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | andre_: the forums may have some infoon the problem. its proberly a known bug with some controllers | 00:45 |
| benkay86 | apollo: I basically have no idea what's going on then :-( | 00:45 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: Any insight as to why Ubuntu would choose to freeze on this screen: http://imagebin.org/83087 | 00:45 |
| apollo | ok i rebooted again and it stopped at the same place as last time... this is ridculous | 00:46 |
| `mOOse` | k got one for you guys...had a hella time installing xubuntu on my usb flash just now - I can't get grub to install on my boot partition.... | 00:46 |
| apollo | as the first time** | 00:46 |
| apollo | IRQ16 | 00:46 |
| `mOOse` | now I need to install it from within the os | 00:46 |
| andre_ | ok thanks Dr_Willis | 00:47 |
| ectraz | :( Radeon issue is driveing me nuts | 00:47 |
| andre_ | i will intall a new disk and see what happens... | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | `mOOse`: i recall for a full/normal install to a flash drive. on the last (?) dialog of the installer theres an option to tell it where to install grub to. You have to tell it where the usb drive is. | 00:47 |
| === egrep is now known as igroklinux | ||
| DasEi | mado : output from ps -aux | grep nm-applet ? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | `mOOse`: or else boot live cd, chroot/otherwise install it to the usb drive afterwards | 00:48 |
| `mOOse` | Dr_Willis, I did | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | `mOOse` | 00:48 |
| ubottu | `mOOse`: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 00:48 |
| apollo | you got nothin benkay? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | `mOOse`: thats all i know on the topic. I dont do full installs to USB. | 00:48 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Indeed, it is most unusual. I admit defeat. | 00:48 |
| `mOOse` | it just comes back and tells me that it can't install and we loop for an hour doing all manner of variations | 00:48 |
| `mOOse` | ok thanks man | 00:49 |
| benkay86 | Can anyone at all explain why Ubuntu would freeze during startup with this: http://imagebin.org/83087 | 00:49 |
| ectraz | Any solution on Radeon x300 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)??? could anyone point me in the right direction? | 00:49 |
| zealot | ectraz: it doesnt work | 00:49 |
| `mOOse` | I ran grub2 from sysrescue disk and it warns me not to install it to my /boot partition then fails | 00:49 |
| zealot | you will have to use the propietary drivrs | 00:49 |
| vadimanri | Hello room | 00:49 |
| ectraz | i know :p thats the problem | 00:49 |
| moule | hello room | 00:49 |
| zealot | whats wrong | 00:49 |
| zealot | are the propietary drivers not working | 00:50 |
| `mOOse` | this is beginner stuff in suse....I just can't figger it out in ubuntu | 00:50 |
| zealot | be sure to blacklist the linux drivers | 00:50 |
| zealot | if you are going to use the propietary drivers | 00:50 |
| DasEi | benkay86: clocksource unstable, is that pc oc'ed ? | 00:50 |
| ectraz | Zealot, I have no idea is there a way of testing? havent touched the drivers | 00:50 |
| zealot | well go on the ati website and get the linux drivers for your card | 00:50 |
| johntramp | i am always amazed by how big the texlive stuff is. what is it that takes up so much space? | 00:51 |
| zealot | and install them | 00:51 |
| ectraz | ive done that, wount install due to incompatible version | 00:51 |
| zealot | incompatible version? | 00:51 |
| zealot | did you get the right drivers? | 00:51 |
| soldiermullins | is anyone free to help? | 00:51 |
| zealot | because linux is linux | 00:51 |
| vadimanri | Good evening, I am looking for some help with getting multiple displays setup in Ubuntu | 00:51 |
| zealot | the drivers should support 2.6 kernel | 00:51 |
| ectraz | Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 00:51 |
| osmosis_ | im trying to setup SSL. apache restarts and asks for password correctly. when I try to connect via https, i get connection interrupted error. http continues to work. | 00:52 |
| zealot | are you sure thats the right script to install | 00:52 |
| DasEi | mado : ? gettting tired, will leave soon : http://tinyurl.com/sx9ke | 00:52 |

| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:52 |
| ectraz | zealot, just following the guide from ATI website | 00:52 |
| zealot | read the readme that comes with the drivers | 00:52 |
| vadimanri | Good evening, I am looking for some help with getting multiple displays setup in Ubuntu, would anyone be familiar with how to set it up? | 00:52 |
| ectraz | sh drivername.run | 00:52 |
| zealot | hmm | 00:52 |
| zealot | it might be the shell | 00:53 |
| ectraz | ? | 00:53 |
| zealot | try bash drivername.run | 00:53 |
| zealot | instead of sh | 00:53 |
| genii | osmosis_: #ubuntu-server or ##httpd would probably be better places to ask that SSL question | 00:53 |
| DasEi | benkay86: looks like an issue with the busclock, run a memtest and lower bios settings | 00:53 |
| ectraz | same error :( | 00:53 |
| apollo | well i kind of need an OS int the mean time.... | 00:53 |
| ectraz | Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version | 00:53 |
| hyperstream | vadimanri, what is the issue? | 00:53 |
| zealot | ok | 00:54 |
| zealot | are you root? | 00:54 |
| zealot | su to root and do it | 00:54 |
| zealot | instead of using sudo | 00:54 |
| ectraz | ok | 00:54 |
| hyperstream | sudo -i | 00:54 |
| zealot | never use sudo | 00:54 |
| zealot | sudo is a security nightmare | 00:54 |
| Seeker` | zealot: please stop | 00:54 |
| vadimanri | I have a Nvidia G-force card and want to confige it you use 2 LCD's | 00:54 |
| hyperstream | echinos, sudo -i for a root terminal | 00:54 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: It's apollo's machine. A netbook, so probably not overclocked. What makes you think that? | 00:54 |
| zealot | no dont use sudo | 00:55 |
| zealot | all someone has to do is get your user password | 00:55 |
| hyperstream | ectraz, and ALWAYS use sudo when possible | 00:55 |
| zealot | and they have root access | 00:55 |
| zealot | whereas without sudo | 00:55 |
| zealot | they have to get both your user password | 00:55 |
| BiosElement | zealot: knock it off. >.> | 00:55 |
| zealot | and your root password | 00:55 |
| hyperstream | zealot, stop that. | 00:55 |
| FloodBot1 | zealot: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:55 |
| hyperstream | !op zealot | 00:55 |
| zealot | what did i do? | 00:55 |
| DasEi | benkay86: the pic, saying unstable clock, had it with a weak ram one time | 00:55 |
| hyperstream | zealot, you always use sudo or sudo -i | 00:55 |
| Seeker` | zealot: Ubuntu is designed to use sudo, please don't advise people to use root | 00:55 |
| zealot | ok i dont think you understand | 00:56 |
| zealot | when you use sudo | 00:56 |
| kappaccino | totally unrelated but I must share... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8487526.stm | 00:56 |
| fodder_ | is there a way to find the install date of my OS, similar to the uptime command. | 00:56 |
| jeeves_Moss | is there a simple way to access my EXT3 partition (my Ubuntu 9.10 install) form XP and Win7? | 00:56 |
| hyperstream | zealot, it doesnt matter, its the way it is. | 00:56 |
| krysis | zealot, sudo is made so one does not have to use root, this is the fault Windows systems have, being a root user (admin) all the time hence causing damages | 00:57 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: Possible, but I've unstable delta with plenty of normal systems. RAM problem sounds plausible though, I'll ask apollo to run memcheck. | 00:57 |
| DasEi | jeeves_Moss: ext3 will work (not ext4),, google ext2ntfs | 00:57 |
| hyperstream | ectraz, any try running that command sudo sh ./default_policy.sh | 00:57 |
| jeeves_Moss | DasEi, thanks. | 00:57 |
| apollo | running memtest86+ | 00:58 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Great. Let us know if it turns anything up! | 00:58 |
| apollo | kai | 00:58 |
| DasEi | jeeves_Moss: there are 3 solutions (fs-drivers) I found to work for ext3, web has them | 00:58 |
| jeeves_Moss | DasEi, I have a 300Gb partition on this 500Gb drive that I've got Linux on, and the other 2 OSs have 50Gb each | 00:58 |

I am however, very familiar with windows administration tools such as WSUS, Group Policy, Active Dir..etc. Are there similar tools available to help manage several Linux computers, basically tools used to help administrate a linux enviroment? I would like to be able to define what updates can b | 01:01 |
| eric_1982 | e pushed out, lock down specific things, example apply a business background, map network drives..etc. Can any one supply me some names of some of these tools ect. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!! | 01:01 |
| cookta2012 | is there a way i can run World of warcraft on ubuntu? | 01:01 |
| vadimanri | Hyperstream, I am using 9.1.0 and used the source drivers, not the ones from nvidia | 01:01 |
| Seeker` | cookta2012: i think you can run it through wine | 01:01 |
| rahduke | cookta2012: yup | 01:01 |
| hyperstream | cookta2012, /join #winehq | 01:01 |
| rahduke | vadimanri: whats your issue? | 01:02 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, scroll up a little | 01:02 |
| rahduke | hyperstream: easy | 01:02 |
| rahduke | hyperstream: launch it from terminal using sudo | 01:02 |
| mado | DasEi, *thinking* | 01:02 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, i was refering to vadimanri 's issue, sorry | 01:02 |
| rahduke | hyperstream: so sudo nvidia-settings | 01:02 |
| DasEi | mado: one thing I saw was it getting lost after a dist-upgrade, did you do any recently ? | 01:03 |
| hyperstream | vadimanri, there you go, try that sudo nvidia-settings from a terminal (thanks to rahduke) | 01:03 |
| vadimanri | Rahduke, I am trying to configure multiple displays, but when I change the settings and activate the second display and try saving the X config file, I get when I go through the Nvidia X server settings window and activate the second display I get a message that says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" | 01:03 |
| rahduke | follow my directions | 01:03 |
| genii | vadimanri: sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:04 |
| mado | DasEi -> well ... where did you saw that? ... ... and yes i did this "dist-upgrade" some hours ago ... ... "i was told that the "update"-command was "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" -> was i told wrong?" | 01:04 |
| Deviouz | can someone help me install nvidia driver on to my geforece 7900 agp? | 01:04 |
| DasEi | mado: right then, try to purge the old config then reinstall | 01:05 |
| Deviouz | I tried the 185, and 173 driver but black, now I dont know what to do? | 01:05 |
| === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| DasEi | mado: sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-gnome && sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome | 01:06 |

| hyperstream | Deviouz, laptop? | 01:06 |
| Deviouz | no I have xubuntu desktop | 01:06 |

| spanky | join #defocus | 01:08 |
| rahduke | Deviouz: since u are running xfce u prolly have to stop xfce not gdm | 01:08 |
| Deviouz | it recomends the 185, but that dont work | 01:08 |
| mado | DasEi, ... ok ... typed in your command | 01:08 |
| DasEi | apollo: that just sits there and safemode will also give you no rescue shell/ terminal ? | 01:08 |
| mado | DasEi, restart? | 01:08 |
| rahduke | vadimanri: ur didnt do what i said, you followed someone elses directions, just open a terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings | 01:08 |
| genii | rahduke: No, Xubuntu uses gdm for it's login manager | 01:09 |
| tbrock | hey do you guys know a way to watch lost online? | 01:09 |
| Deviouz | yes I rebooted, but it was just black | 01:09 |
| tbrock | don't have cable | 01:09 |
| rahduke | genii: oh ok sorry then stop gdm deviouz | 01:09 |
| tbrock | haha | 01:09 |
| Deviouz | with both drivers, 185, and 173? | 01:09 |
| ectraz | root@XBMCLive:/home/tmp# aticonfig --initial -f | 01:09 |
| ectraz | aticonfig: No supported adapters detected | 01:09 |
| DasEi | mado : to be honest, I'm tired, I had the same issue, it came back itself in the later, was from jaunty to karmic | 01:09 |
| Deviouz | wouldnt a reboot be just as good? | 01:09 |
| rahduke | Deviouz: to select the right driver just pick ur card series from the drop downs on http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us | 01:10 |
| opticon | what antivirus software will work with ubuntu | 01:10 |
| hyperstream | !repeat | ectraz | 01:10 |
| ubottu | ectraz: 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. | 01:10 |
| acicula | !antivirus | 01:10 |
| ubottu | Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 01:10 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: We tried Alt+F2 to visit a different VT. Usually if init gets stuck it says something -- in this case it doesn't look like init has even started. | 01:10 |
| Deviouz | ok I will try | 01:10 |
| vadimanri | rahduke, that is what I did, and when I activeate the second display and click on the "save to X Configuration" button, I get the error message saying "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!" | 01:10 |
| Deviouz | and then install it, then what do I do if its black again? | 01:10 |
| mado | DasEi, *nods slightly* understood ... well ... if you're tired ... then you should go to bed *smiles* | 01:10 |
| DasEi | benkay86: hmm, ctrl+c ? ctrl-alt-delete ? | 01:10 |
| hyperstream | vadimanri, how come you didnt use the Restricted hardware drivers? | 01:11 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: Tried ctrl-alt-del too. | 01:11 |
| Deviouz | rahduke, is there anything more I need to do after install? | 01:11 |
| vadimanri | Hyperstream, I am new to Linux and don't really know what I should be doing at this point! | 01:11 |
| rahduke | vadimanri: it works for me, the only reason u should have that error is if u are not able to save the file because u are not root | 01:11 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, or he doesnt have a xorg.conf thats parsable :) | 01:12 |
| rahduke | Deviouz: the package will walk u thru the setup, then just reboot and it should work.... | 01:12 |
| Deviouz | what if its black? | 01:12 |
| ectraz | This will probably be a stupid question, can someone guide me on installing ATI Restricted Drivers!? | 01:13 |
| rahduke | Deviouz: so what u needa do is drop into console Alt+F2 then stop gdm 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' then locate ur package and type 'sudo .sh ./NAME OF PACKAGE | 01:13 |
| DasEi | benkay86: next approach is then boot live cd, rebuild initramfs, maybe blacklist that forcedeth, (irq 16 to 22, maybe another device missing then ?) check syslog and maybe more of dmesg | 01:13 |
| hyperstream | ectraz, System > Administration > Hardware Drivers | 01:13 |
| ectraz | i dont have a Gui :( | 01:13 |
| DasEi | benkay86: *^ chroot into the hd from live, also check filesystem | 01:14 |
| Deviouz | ok, I will try, thanks for the help | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Deviouz: 'sudo service gdm stop' may work also | 01:14 |

| shazbotmcnasty | someone posted an awesome link about conky the other day | 01:15 |
| DasEi | downtime for me , now | 01:15 |
| benkay86 | DasEi: Blacklisting might help, although others have reported success with this hardware. fsck unlikely to make a difference as 1) apollo has already reinstalled once and 2) init hasn't been called to mount the fs yet | 01:15 |
| MrZiplock | Props to UBUNTU! | 01:16 |
| Dr_Willis | shazbotmcnasty: thers dozens of sites with conky scripts/examples | 01:16 |

| jahc | I put unr 9.04 on my eee701 many moons ago. I'm trying to upgrade to 9.10 unr now. I downloaded the iso from the ubuntu site, and used a Mac to put it onto a usb drive. The structure of the files looks fine on the usb drive... but it says its not a valid boot drive or similar when I try to boot from it on the netbook. the usb drive is showing up under the BIOS, and I've disabled booting from the hard drive.. | 01:28 |
| hyperstream | vadimanri, hmm not sure if its a conflict from the sources you installed or what ;/ | 01:28 |
| hyperstream | vadimanri, have you tried googling the error ? | 01:28 |
| vadimanri | not yet | 01:29 |
| mayajowo | software pdf to openoffice | 01:29 |

| gdiz | hey everyone, I am having a problem with hulu where it is just getting choppy on my computer. So, I checked my free memory. Flash is eating up all my memory. Here is my question, if I were to change the cache size for flash would that reduce the memory it's eating up? Then, if so, how do I go about changing the cache size? | 01:30 |
| hiexpo | ok thanks so i need not worry | 01:31 |
| rahduke | gdiz: firefox flash bites it hard, if u have a graphics card get flash 10.1beta with gpu acceleration its better but still not great | 01:31 |
| `mOOse` | gdiz, right click on the video window and choose the little yellow folder along the bottom | 01:31 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: User blkid to find the uuid or device identifier for it, then mount it manually. let me know if you need help to do it | 01:31 |
| `mOOse` | there's a slider in there | 01:31 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: how do I mount it manually | 01:32 |
| hyperstream | Guest794, this is storage USB flash drive? how many different drives have you tried? does it work in other pc's ? | 01:32 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: sudo mount -t type /dev/id /mount/pt | 01:32 |
| gdiz | rahduke, is that in the repositories and does it work well or is it flakey? | 01:32 |
| rahduke | gdiz: u need to get it from adobe directly, just google flash 10.1 ubuntu and im sure you'll find an easy guide | 01:33 |
| gdiz | 'mOOse' in those options, can I change the cache size there? and does that make sense to do? | 01:33 |
| gdiz | ok, I will play with rahduke, thanks | 01:33 |
| gdiz | *that | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | yes it makes sense | 01:33 |
| `mOOse` | the read-ahead is only 10k by default | 01:34 |
| Guest794 | Mike_ lifeguard: It says, "mount: mount point /mount/pt does not exist" | 01:34 |
| rahduke | gdiz: umm please don't attempt playing with me ;) | 01:34 |
| `mOOse` | you could make it unlimited and then if your internet connection's fast enough you should get better performance | 01:34 |
| ChangeNick | is there a way from within ubuntu to upgrade from 32 to 64 bit? | 01:34 |
| === ChangeNick is now known as Rap2 | ||
| Guest794 | hyperstream: Yes, All of them, Haven't gotten to try. | 01:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Rap2: no. - reinstall is needed | 01:35 |
| gdiz | rahduke, :-p | 01:35 |
| Rap2 | thanks Dr_Willis, will it keep any of the old os, or will it whipe and start fresh? | 01:35 |
| gdiz | thank you both | 01:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Rap2: 'a reinstall is needed' that means you install the 64bit release.. You could move configs to backups/restore them if you wanted. | 01:36 |
| krysis | Someone follow me on this one: lets say a malicious script is saved as an "image" with an extension of .jpg, couldn't there be a way for gnome to encorporate a feature that tells the user that that file is a Script, and not an image, document, music or video file (as most users automatically open such files without considering of viruses) | 01:37 |
| rahduke | scary | 01:37 |
| krysis | and the script would ask "Are you sure you want to run this script, it could be harmful to your computer if you do not know what it does" | 01:37 |
| krysis | something like that | 01:37 |
| apollo | only at 85%.... | 01:37 |
| armando | hi there | 01:38 |
| dirk__ | gday, could anyone tell me wether its possible to boot ubuntu at a certain time (by cron i.e.) | 01:38 |
| Rap2 | I guess the download page dosent give a choice between 32 and 64 bit, should I just dig around the ftp site? | 01:38 |
| rahduke | dirk__: im not sure but i'd be curious to find out if u are able to boot ur PC remotely. If so how did u do it? | 01:39 |
| sabesto | well, seems like #samba is asleep | 01:39 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: do you have anything else to tell me? | 01:39 |
| krysis | dirk__: if ubuntu is off, it is off, there is no way to run ANY computer with any system while its off | 01:39 |
| krysis | any program* while the system is off | 01:39 |
| dirk__ | it worked with windows.... ^^ | 01:40 |
| rahduke | krysis: umm i think u can boot a computer that is off remotely, i dunno how tho | 01:40 |
| krysis | in what sense dirk__ was your computer completely off? | 01:40 |
| armando | try with wake on lan | 01:40 |
| sabesto | WOL, wake on lan | 01:40 |
| rahduke | wake on lan! | 01:40 |
| apollo | Benkay86? no errors :( | 01:40 |
| krysis | wol works if the system is completely shut off? | 01:40 |
| rahduke | thats it, i was trying to think of that all day yesterday | 01:40 |
| armando | so | 01:41 |
| krysis | that would be a hardware feature would it not? | 01:41 |
| OzzmanNT | krysis: yes | 01:41 |
| rahduke | krysis: it works as long as there is lan and power plug in, so ive heard | 01:41 |
| dirk__ | well hibernate to hdd would be ok | 01:41 |
| dirk__ | but thats the same thing in that case isnt it? | 01:41 |
| apollo | Benkay you there? | 01:41 |
| Pici | krysis: WOL is a BIOS feature | 01:41 |
| OzzmanNT | krysis: that feature has been in BIOSs since....well a LONG time | 01:42 |
| armando | thats rigght | 01:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: dunno ... did you mount it ok? get stuck with the command to mount it ...? | 01:42 |
| krysis | I've never actually come across WOL | 01:42 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: Yes | 01:42 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: yes to which question? | 01:42 |
| boss_mc | quick question, I have a php page on my site that used to be served fine through apache2 but suddenly, clicking the link just sits on receiving data, without ever serving the page... can anyone think of why this might have happened? | 01:42 |
| rahduke | anyone got an updated WOL guide for 9.10? | 01:42 |
| dirk__ | but i dont wanna wake on lan, i wanna wake on cron do u guys know anything about that? | 01:43 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: I got stuck with the command to mount it. | 01:43 |
| sabesto | wol doesnt have anything to do with the OS | 01:43 |
| armando | any one knows how to jump the windows firewall?? | 01:43 |
| OzzmanNT | krysis: it's a pretty neat feature and even a bunch of devices support it now, you can even have u'r router wake u'r computers now (with DD-WRT) | 01:43 |
| ardchoille | armando: ask in #windows | 01:43 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: ok, could you paste the output of blkid to p.defau.lt for me? | 01:43 |
| dirk__ | lol | 01:43 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Sorry, still here. | 01:43 |
| rahduke | OzzmanNT: i was running DD-WRT for a while, never got that to work tho | 01:43 |
| apollo | alright no errors | 01:43 |
| krysis | ahhh, yes i've herad of DD-WRT, very interesting... | 01:43 |
| sabesto | yes, a DD-WRT router could wake a computer at certain time | 01:44 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, the solution to vadimanri 's xorg nvidia issue was running: sudo nvidia-xconfig :) | 01:44 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: I type blkid and it comes out with nothing | 01:44 |
| OzzmanNT | rahduke: WOL i've found to be very iffy on working with all computers | 01:44 |
| rahduke | hyperstream: lol... | 01:44 |
| rahduke | i suk | 01:44 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: try doing 'sudo blkid' then? | 01:44 |
| Mike_lifeguard | (Assuming you have sudo access) | 01:44 |
| rahduke | OzzmanNT: so its a pain to setup? | 01:44 |
| apollo | i don't know what else to do i ahve linux mint ready to be booted from a different usb if all else fails... i just need an os for school tomorrow. | 01:45 |
| krysis | dirk__: you have to understand that once a computer is turned off it has no control over an operating system (such as ubuntu) the system is turned to BIOS, and unless your bios supports some sort of timer to turn on (unless its wake on lan) it cannot be done from the operating system level | 01:45 |
| benkay86 | apollo: So, my guess is you'd like to have XP back since I really don't know what the problem with Linux is. | 01:45 |
| OzzmanNT | rahduke: well WOL in DD-WRT works but some machines seem to work differently, don't ask me why, i guess it's a BIOS thing, 150 computers and only half will WOL | 01:45 |
| sysdoc | Is there a way to export the package list in Synaptic so you can import it to another install? | 01:45 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: where is "p.defau.lt" | 01:45 |
| benkay86 | apollo: Although I suppose you could try installing the netbook remix just for shits. | 01:45 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest794: http://p.defau.lt | 01:45 |
| boss_mc | .msg ubottu clone | 01:46 |
| apollo | thats a good idea. | 01:46 |
| rahduke | OzzmanNT: jus got a new router, maybe ill slap DD-WRT on it and give it a WORL | 01:46 |
| boss_mc | !clone > sysdoc | 01:46 |
| ubottu | sysdoc, please see my private message | 01:46 |
| krysis | dirk__: also if windows does it then it must use wake on lan | 01:46 |
| OzzmanNT | rahduke: either use that or tomato both are awesome, and you can get more power out of the router, linksys i assume? | 01:46 |
| dirk__ | hmmmm, in windows i was able to add a schedule task to wake it up | 01:46 |
| apollo | wow, still 680 mb? | 01:46 |
| dirk__ | didnt have to go to the bios | 01:47 |
| Guest794 | Mike_lifeguard: okay, now what? | 01:47 |
| krysis | well windows might have communicated with the bios... dirk__ | 01:47 |
| Guest32569 | Is this #ubuntu? | 01:47 |
| sysdoc | boss_mc, woot! | 01:47 |
| rahduke | OzzmanNT: whats tomato? yes its linksys, but when i ran DDWRT on my last router i didnt notice a difference | 01:47 |
| dirk__ | jea, could be | 01:47 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest32569: give me the link so I can see what you pasted | 01:47 |
| boss_mc | sysdoc: w00t indeed, and more importantly.... sleep time! | 01:47 |
| Guest32569 | I hope this is a good place to ask this question. I just installed Ubuntu as a dual boot with my development machine. I installed 9.1 64-bit. When it boots, I get to a grub shell(?), not any kind of GUI at all. Did my install fail? Do I need to do something to get a GUI up? | 01:48 |
| krysis | im afraid i can't help you with this dirk__ | 01:48 |
| rahduke | krysis: your giving out bunk info man | 01:48 |
| josemaria | hola | 01:48 |
| dirk__ | so that probably was my question.... can ubuntu communicate with the bios | 01:48 |
| dirk__ | but thx for ur help, ill search around a bit more | 01:48 |
| krysis | well rahduke do you have a solution? | 01:48 |
| sabesto | dirk_: its probably a special function in the bios | 01:48 |
| dirk__ | thx anyway krysis | 01:48 |
| rahduke | no, and im keepin my mouth shut about it | 01:49 |
| myshirwm | Hi, could someone help me? I have googled the heck out of this problem with no avail. | 01:49 |
| rahduke | u should too | 01:49 |
| OzzmanNT | rahduke: tomato is like DD-WRT (kinda) but it's more advanced | 01:49 |
| geojanm | hi, i like to use a dispatcher script for networkmanger to connect automat to a vpn. i use the version from http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/NetworkManager/Dispatcher i modified the name but it does not work normal vpn is ok.. what can i do? | 01:49 |
| rahduke | OzzmanNT: lol DD-WRT was complicated enough | 01:49 |
| krysis | as far as i knew i didn't know computers could turn on from shut down rahduke, everyone learns a little something too, you should learn some manners | 01:49 |
| Guest794 | Whenever I open synaptic package manager, It says i have 3 broken packages on my system, how do i fix that? | 01:49 |

| myshirwm | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 01:49 |
| myshirwm | dmesg | tail or so" Doesn't matter if I use gmount-iso or the mount command. | 01:50 |
| OzzmanNT | rahduke: ok well stay away from tomato lol | 01:50 |
| FloodBot1 | myshirwm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:50 |
| myshirwm | Sorry | 01:50 |
| rahduke | krysis: im not here to argue, but when i dont try to help ppl without sufficient info...thats good manners | 01:50 |
| rahduke | *but i dont try to help | 01:50 |
| benkay86 | apollo: As far as getting Windows to work, you will need some sort of bootable USB image to work with. I don't think Microsoft makes one available officially, but I suspect you can find something on Google. You'll want to use some combination of the commands chkdsk, bootcfg, and fixboot. | 01:50 |
| apollo | alright. i'll figure something out | 01:51 |
| apollo | thanks a bunch though | 01:51 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest32569: Describe this screen you get when booting? (btw, 9.1 doesn't exist - that's 9.10, the 0 is significant in version numbers) | 01:52 |

| benkay86 | apollo: Good luck! I'm sorry I wasn't able to figure out what was going wrong. | 01:52 |
| trevor | what is the expose like thing for compiz called? | 01:52 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest32569: and did you successfully paste that output to p.defau.lt? | 01:52 |
| rahduke | trevor its called scale! | 01:52 |
| trevor | thanks rahduke | 01:53 |
| rahduke | its sick! | 01:53 |
| trevor | indeed | 01:53 |
| Mike_lifeguard | trevor: #compiz exists, if you need more help on that | 01:53 |
| myshirwm | any suggestions for mounting an iso that returns an error? | 01:54 |
| Guest32569 | Sorry, 9.10... It reminds me of a Unix command line shell. There are two words seperated by a '/' character, and the last word is grub. typing help listed several commands I could try, but i gigured I'd probably break something. Anyway, I'm just wondering whether this is normal, or should I expect to see a GUI? The install led me to believe I'd end up with a GUI | 01:54 |
| Mike_lifeguard | Guest32569: yeah, that's not right - but I'm no expert, you'll need help from someone else for that :( | 01:55 |

| guest4127145 | can resize and keep data | 02:30 |
| `mOOse` | partition magic can do it - but not native windows | 02:30 |

| krysis | its useful to install /home on another partition | 02:35 |
| `mOOse` | I know in suse, yast can do it with partimage | 02:35 |
| woodyjlw | is there a way to delete old ssid and password history in ubuntu | 02:35 |
| `mOOse` | but I'm not sure about kubuntu | 02:35 |
| guest4127145 | I should look into lvm... I've seen a lot of talk about it but never actually did any research into it | 02:35 |
| maco | krysis: eh. only if you're afraid one partition will corrupt and the other won't. since ubuntu's installer supports keeping /home when doing a clean install, the old usefulness is a bit moot | 02:35 |
| guest4127145 | is it worth the time and effort? | 02:35 |
| `mOOse` | xbuntu has what they call an "alternate install" iso that has a text-based install that you definitely can | 02:36 |
| === ubuntu is now known as lacita | ||
| guest4127145 | other than for the sake of just the knowledge that is | 02:36 |
| `mOOse` | yes, it's quite handy | 02:36 |
| `mOOse` | you can dynamically adjust your partitions | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive gotten where i just keep my partion layout more and more simple. :) | 02:36 |
| `mOOse` | yes, that's the best way! | 02:36 |
| guest4127145 | I'm used to text based... I used to run Debian only so I'm good on that front | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | but it helps that i have like 4 hard drives.. one for /, one for /home | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | and so on. | 02:37 |
| lacita | Anybody know much about formatting partitions using parted? | 02:37 |
| `mOOse` | I'm really liking xbuntu so far | 02:37 |
| guest4127145 | heh.. I use 4 partitions... / /tmp /home swap | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | lacita: parted partions.. you then format using the proper commands | 02:37 |
| `mOOse` | except for the little clonezilla fiasco the other night (which I'm not rebuilding because of) | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | guest4127145: i got /home on its own hard drive. :) not juist its own partition | 02:37 |
| lacita | Dr_Willis: sdc1 has been set up, but I can't get it formatted to "Dell Utility" using parted. I can do it in fdisk, but the problem is that fdisk doesn't support GUID Partition Tables (gpt) which is what I formatted the disk to so that I could have a sexy storage partition over 2TB in size. | 02:37 |
| guest4127145 | yeah that's the best way to do it | 02:38 |
| bleepbloop | can banshee play m4a files? | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | lacita: no idea. Ive never needed to use gpt. and i tend to just 'remove' dell utility partitions | 02:38 |
| sarthor | Hi. according to " http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291926 " my pppoe-server configuration is OK. but how to add user password in /etc/ppp/pap-secerte, I edit and added user name and passwods as mention in this url, but not working, but when i did that with command, like "adduser userlogin" So then its working, in this each user have dir in /home/ also, what is the properway to add users in pppo-server, | 02:38 |
| `mOOse` | dsl is such a pita | 02:39 |
| `mOOse` | I would hate dealing with that | 02:39 |
| hatebred | maco I found this line: SND_PCI_QUIRK(0x103c, 0x30cf, "HP DV9533EG", CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE), | 02:39 |
| lacita | Dr_Willis: I am using a Dell box with RAID. If the Dell Utility partition is removed or corrupted, the RAID simply won't start. I know... | 02:39 |
| maco | hatebred: great! ok so look for CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE elsewhere in that file | 02:39 |
| default-nick | is there an app or a way to create a bootable winxp install on a flash drive? only solutions I've found so far are windows programs | 02:39 |
| `mOOse` | default-nick, no | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | default-nick: ive only seen windows tools. | 02:40 |
| mattgyver | default-nick, theres a live cd that can do it, i dont remember what its called | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive seen premade usb images.. but those are not legal. :) or trustworthy | 02:40 |
| `mOOse` | I stand corrected... | 02:40 |
| bleepbloop | hey `mOOse` | 02:41 |
| default-nick | thats what I figured. thanks. | 02:41 |
| default-nick | dr willis: how do you "burn" an image to a flash drive? | 02:41 |
| guest4127145 | do LVM's have to be setup before the rest of the partitions or is it something you can do on the fly? | 02:41 |
| desert-pingus | Hi... | 02:42 |
| maco | hatebred: ok found: [CXT5045_LAPTOP_HPSENSE] = "laptop-hpsense", | 02:42 |
| `mOOse` | howdy bleepbloop | 02:42 |
| maco | hatebred: so now you edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf | 02:42 |
| `mOOse` | you can set them up afterwards guest | 02:42 |
| default-nick | Dr_Willis: how do you "burn" an image to a flash drive? | 02:43 |
| maco | hatebred: add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=laptop-hpsense | 02:43 |
| bleepbloop | `mOOse`: do you remember helping me with making a usb drive bootable? | 02:43 |
| `mOOse` | hehe - no? | 02:43 |
| `mOOse` | :) | 02:43 |
| maco | hatebred: and save it and after rebooting, it should work | 02:43 |

| `mOOse` | bleepbloop, I remember helping you, just not the details | 02:44 |

| `mOOse` | you got a cdrom drive on that netbook? | 02:51 |
| default-nick | lacita, its what I normally use to format a drive these days.. always works like you think it should | 02:51 |
| lacita | default-nick: sdc1 has been set up, but I can't get it formatted to "Dell Utility" using parted. I can do it in fdisk, but the problem is that fdisk doesn't support GUID Partition Tables (gpt) which is what I formatted the disk to so that I could have a sexy storage partition over 2TB in size. | 02:52 |
| default-nick | `mOOse`, course not | 02:52 |
| `mOOse` | heh...get an external and then use an xp live cd | 02:52 |
| `mOOse` | maybe? | 02:52 |
| hatebred | maco can I msg you? | 02:53 |
| default-nick | easier to boot into an old winxp partition i got on an old drive.. and run an iso to flash prgram there.. i've already found one a couple that run within windows | 02:53 |
| maco | hatebred: yeah | 02:54 |
| default-nick | `mOOse`, i'm just already missing my friendly ubuntu environment ;] | 02:54 |
| `mOOse` | I bet | 02:54 |
| minderaser | I'm trying to compile a package (osmo) and it's telling me that my GTK+ version is too old, < 2.12 but Synaptic shows libgtk2.0-0 as version 2.16.1. Anyone know what might be going wrong here? | 02:54 |
| default-nick | `mOOse`, almost feels like booting into dos | 02:54 |
| `mOOse` | what DE? I really like this Xubuntu | 02:55 |
| guest4127145 | default-nick: bootable XP install on a USB is a HUGE pain to make... I have it setup on mine.... unfortunately it's not something you can copy from stick to stick.. pretty much have to rebuild it everytime | 02:55 |
| lacita | That's windows for ya. | 02:56 |
| guest4127145 | yup | 02:56 |
| default-nick | yea.. | 02:56 |
| guest4127145 | W7 is very easy to get running off a USB stick though.. and pretty helpful for trying to fix other versions of Windows | 02:56 |

| nomasteryoda | Danio, or say cat /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages | 03:51 |
| MacBookUser | Quirkly: It should say Ubuntu kernel 2.6.xx (Singlemode) | 03:51 |

| Quirkly | MacBookUser, I have the normal, and the recovery, and then the memtest stuff | 03:52 |
| Quirkly | no single mode | 03:52 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: you have to go int /etc/rc.d/ and rename S.gdm to K.gdm for runlevel 5 | 03:52 |
| ubuntuFish | jguzikowski, try logging out and logging back in, or restarting. otherwise the problem is with the theme | 03:52 |
| futurama140 | joeyjones: youre a fucking asshole | 03:52 |

| MacBookUser | sayed1: Have you installed it into the computer? | 03:53 |
| ubuntuFish | jguzikowski, no problem, good luck | 03:53 |
| sayed1 | MacBookUser: not yet i want to install the driver | 03:53 |
| MacBookUser | Quirkly: Or use the recovery mode option | 03:53 |
| JDiMatteo | sorry, I guess I'll go. didn't mean to offend you guys... | 03:53 |
| MacBookUser | Qurikly: recovery mode dumps you at shell | 03:53 |
| MacBookUser | sayed1: What brand and model? | 03:54 |
| Quirkly | recovery mode option would work, but I'm looking for a more permanent solution, my laptop just doesn't like too much fancy stuff | 03:54 |
| sayed1 | MacBookUser: azurewave | 03:54 |
| ubuntuFish | JDiMatteo, its just kind of a huge public, "family friendly" channel, no biggie. just keep it clean and dont attack ppl and ur fine | 03:54 |

| sayed1 | MacBookUser: ad-sp200 | 03:55 |
| Quirkly | and to think I just relearned that shortcut....maybe it works maybe not | 03:55 |
| ubuntuFish | macbookuser, ctrl alt backspace doesnt work for me | 03:55 |
| MacBookUser | Ugh | 03:55 |
| sayed1 | MacBookUser: ok thx | 03:55 |
| Quirkly | k just flat out removing gdm, see if that does it | 03:56 |
| phong_ | no one help | 03:56 |
| Quirkly | btw, anyone know if my wireless will still work at that point, or should I install some stuff before doing this venture? | 03:56 |
| ubuntuFish | phong_, whats your question? | 03:56 |
| Quirkly | I assume it might, since networking shouldn't be too affected, but I dunno | 03:56 |
| MacBookUser | Your wifi is not related with gdm | 03:56 |
| phong_ | currently i have vlc 1.0.2 there is an update 1.0.5 | 03:56 |
| Quirkly | my other machine was fine, but it's a wired connection | 03:56 |
| phong_ | i want the updated one ,,, | 03:56 |
| ubuntuFish | quirkly, there is a nice tutorial for setting up wireless from command line, let me just track it down | 03:56 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: i's /etc/rc.something, then you gointo the folder for runlevel 5 maybe /etc/something/rc.5? then you rename S.gdm to K.gdm...i'm not using ubuntu so i dont know exactly but thats the jist of what you have to do | 03:56 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: GDM has nothing to do with your networking | 03:57 |
| MacBookUser | phong_: Do 'sudo apt-get upgrade' at a terminal | 03:57 |
| Quirkly | arghh2d2, if my next attempt fails, I'll dig further, I found a bunch of Rc stuff | 03:57 |
| phong_ | ubuntufish; inthe repository only see 1.0.2 | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | hi id like some help with karmic | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | i had karmic up and running with grub 2 | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | when i installed fedora which had grub 1 | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | now karmic doesnt boot | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | im not interested in having grub 2 | 03:57 |
| FloodBot1 | zubin71: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | is there anyway i can boot in2 karmic from the older grub? | 03:57 |
| zubin71 | please help | 03:57 |
| Quirkly | arghh2d2, what I meant, was would the wireless be started up by something started in the X environment, or would it have started befoer.... | 03:57 |
| Quirkly | worst case is I just gotta reinstall the whole system again lol | 03:57 |
| ubuntuFish | phong-, im going to need more info than that | 03:58 |
| MacBookUser | zubin71: I think your fedora knocked out karmic | 03:58 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: good question. | 03:58 |
| phong_ | macbookuser: i did it....i still see vlc 1.0.2 | 03:58 |

| MacBookUser | onil: What blinking LED | 03:59 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: worst case senario is that you type "startx" or "gdm" and you'r right back in your gui with network manager running | 03:59 |

Is there a way to tell X (or the NVidia drivers) to only display full-screen apps on just one screen? | 04:21 |
| ben_ | thanks bazhang | 04:21 |
| bazhang | ben_, there is a ppa for it if you wish | 04:21 |
| AMAM | I need to recompile the kernel with the option: CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=1 | 04:21 |
| dmsuperman | TheMusicGuy: One solution is to use compiz which seems to be able to detect this for you and correct it | 04:21 |
| AMAM | can I change that without recompiling | 04:21 |
| ben_ | sure | 04:21 |
| Izinucs | TheMusicGuy: one of the options in nvidia-settings might give you what you want | 04:21 |
| jguzikowski | is there anyway to skin xfce's panels? they aren't being affected when i choose a new theme | 04:22 |
| AMAM | this is the output of zgrep -i mtrr /proc/config.gz : | 04:22 |
| AMAM | CONFIG_MTRR=y | 04:22 |
| AMAM | CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER=y | 04:22 |
| AMAM | CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=0 | 04:22 |
| AMAM | CONFIG_MTRR_SANITIZER_SPARE_REG_NR_DEFAULT=1 | 04:22 |
| FloodBot1 | AMAM: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:22 |
| ardchoille | jguzikowski: you need to ask in #xubuntu, this isn't the palce for xfce questions | 04:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | dmsuperman: Izinucs: sounds good, but can you be more specific? I'm not sure which options you mean. | 04:23 |
| jguzikowski | bah, no one answers there, was hoping i could get someone here, alright thanks anyway | 04:23 |
| Izinucs | TheMusicGuy: in System>Admin>Nvidia Settings .. if it's not there then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 04:23 |
| rich97 | How might I move the contents of a folder including hidden files and folders into the current directory using terminal. I've tried "mv folder/* ." but that does not move the hidden folders.// | 04:24 |
| AMAM | rich97: mv -r dir newdir | 04:24 |
| AMAM | the "-r" option | 04:24 |
| TheMusicGuy | Izinucs: I don't see anything in nvidia-settings about full screen. | 04:25 |
| AMAM | looks like, I won't get any answer for my question here | 04:26 |
| Quirkly | alright, so that was hilarious | 04:26 |
| rich97 | AMAM: mv: invalid option -- 'r' | 04:26 |
| lacita | anyone know how to format a Dell Utility partition on a drive with a gpt partition table type? | 04:26 |
| Quirkly | AMAM what you trying to do | 04:26 |
| AMAM | sorry I'm stupid | 04:26 |
| AMAM | that's only for rm not mv | 04:26 |
| Izinucs | TheMusicGuy: It's been a couple of years since I looked at nvidia-settings.. sorry I don't know how to guide you here. | 04:26 |
| TheMusicGuy | Izinucs: Hm, I see. Do you know if it has anything to do with "metamodes"? | 04:27 |
| rich97 | My problem isn't it's not moving the folders it's that it's not moving folders and files with the '.' prefix. | 04:27 |
| think43 | You know how when you move your mouse to the corner of the screen and all the windows arrange them selves neatly for you to select one, What is that called? And how do you enable it? | 04:28 |
| Fauntix | can I get a one-on-one 9.1 help please | 04:28 |
| AMAM | have u tried mv dir/.* | 04:28 |
| mrpink57 | think43: are you talking about the box with the squares | 04:28 |
| ardchoille | mv dir . will do it | 04:28 |
| ardchoille | does it fine here | 04:28 |
| think43 | mrpink57, no, I mean, that mac osx type feature. You move you mouse to the top left corner, and all the windows arrange neatly on the screen, to see all the windows you have open | 04:29 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: did you get your box to boot to console? | 04:29 |
| mrpink57 | think43: I think that is a comopiz type feature | 04:29 |
| Izinucs | TheMusicGuy: possibly.. there's a couple of things going on.. one is the size of "x" which could be a measurement of both monitors resolutions combined.. that's how it stretches across both.. then there's the limitation of the actual size of each monitor.. google for help with "xrandr" and "xrandr dual monitor ubuntu" that might shed some light on the situation | 04:29 |
| ardchoille | think43: you can use gnome-shell for that or compiz has a feature that does that | 04:29 |
| ben_ | bazhang, does xbmc support blu ray? | 04:30 |
| Quirkly | arghh2d2, yea, obliterated gdm | 04:30 |
| Quirkly | although in retrospect, xubuntu-desktop was all that needed to go | 04:30 |
| scone | hello. I have the most bizzare issue: I don't know what you'd call it but during startup and shut down of both the livecd and an install on the HP workstation I'm using, the system will hang until I press a key or move the mouse | 04:30 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: you still have networking? | 04:30 |
| Quirkly | HOWEVER, arghh2d2 my suspicious about the wireless were confirmed | 04:30 |
| Quirkly | no, didn't | 04:30 |
| TheMusicGuy | Izinucs: Okay, I'll try that. Thank you. | 04:30 |
| AMAM | think43: here on my OpenSUSE, it's called "Scale: initiate window picker" | 04:30 |
| think43 | Ubuntu 9.10 has composing including, you don't have to go install compiz yourself. But I don't know how to change the settings | 04:30 |
| Quirkly | got on from other computer, then forgot to just manually run startx, which then kicked the wireless in right away | 04:30 |
| think43 | AMAM, yep, that what I wanted, thanks | 04:31 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: you could switch to netcfg or wicd instead of network manager | 04:31 |
| Quirkly | so yeah, now just reading how to connect to wireless via commandline | 04:31 |
| Quirkly | ???? k, you just about lost me there, lol | 04:31 |
| Quirkly | but umm....yeah lemme check stuffs out | 04:31 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: netcfg is for wireless wpa connections from command line...wicd has an ncurses interface | 04:32 |
| Quirkly | I can handle ncurses interface, installing now | 04:32 |
| arghh2d2 | wicd has regular gui too | 04:32 |
| ben_ | anyone here know if xbmc supports blu ray? | 04:32 |
| Fauntix | Please help me. When I start up I get this: "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda1: clean 148406/3596288 files, 848523/14374150 blocks" what does that mean and how do i fix it | 04:32 |
| bazhang | http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=XBMC_for_Linux_specific_FAQ#Does_XBMC_for_Linux_support_Blu-ray_or_HD_DVD_playback_with_or_without_menus.3F ben_ seems no | 04:32 |
| james_ | how do you add a user to a system so that they have read write access to the smaba share but nothing else? | 04:33 |
| ben_ | thank you again | 04:33 |
| rich97 | ardchoille: If I simply do "mv dir ." then it complains the dir is the same as ./dir. The problem isn't with moving the files it's that the * wildcard ignores hidden files. I'm trying to do this: "mv dir/* ." | 04:33 |
| kcowolf | I've tried both Vino and x11vnc with an SSH tunnel; as soon as I try to connect to the port the connection gets closed. I can SSH into my box with no problems. Anyone have any ideas how I could track down the problem? | 04:33 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: you'll need to get wicd to run in your /etc/rc.whatever folder maybe...like i said, i'm not on ubuntu right now, i'm just giving you clues | 04:34 |
| ardchoille | rich97: are you trying to do something weird like move a dir within itself? | 04:34 |
| think43 | Looks like you have install the compiz-config-manager, and then configure it | 04:34 |
| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: runlevel three is multiuser command line | 04:34 |
| googol | what is the command to fix a ntfs filesystem | 04:34 |
| ardchoille | rich97: what is the path to "dir" and the path to "."? | 04:34 |
| mrpink57 | think43: that's a pretty easy config a lot of it is preset for ubuntu anyways | 04:35 |
| Fauntix | Please help me. When I start up I get this: "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda1: clean 148406/3596288 files, 848523/14374150 blocks" what does that mean and how do i fix it | 04:35 |
| rich97 | ardchoille: No, I'm trying to move all of the contents of ./dir into . | 04:35 |
| lacita | Fauntix: it's a disk check utility. | 04:35 |
| papshmear | Fauntix, nothing's wrong | 04:36 |
| Fauntix | @lacita: ok how do i fix it | 04:36 |
| mrpink57 | its just a disk check my startup always does a fsck.jfs | 04:36 |
| think43 | mrpink57, yeah true | 04:36 |
| Fauntix | but mine freezes and doesnt move | 04:36 |
| papshmear | Fauntix, unless it says disk error don't worry about it | 04:36 |
| ardchoille | rich97: mv ./dir/* . | 04:36 |
| lacita | Fauntix: I don't think you do... It may signal a potential corruption in youre hard drive... | 04:36 |
| Fauntix | ??? | 04:37 |
| rich97 | ardchoille: Yeah, that's what I was doing. But it dosn't move .git or .gitignore | 04:37 |
| rich97 | Only folders without the . prefix | 04:37 |
| onetinsoldier | rich97 and ardchoille: how about mv ./dir/*.* . | 04:38 |
| maverick | how to write this kind of syntax correctly "sudo ( echo abc > /etc/resolve.conf ), show error around ( | 04:38 |
| Fauntix | @lacita: So what do i do get it into m computer and have it boot correctly | 04:39 |
| lacita | Fauntix: You can boot, right? | 04:39 |
| snayth | What command would I run to tell how much ram my computer has? | 04:39 |
| LuksPartition | snayth: free -m | 04:40 |
| ima | alright, got a problem on ubuntu 9.10, everytime I log in I get a black screen for a little while and then I get back to the Login screen. | 04:40 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: have you tried cp -r this will create the new dir if needed I do not know if it takes hidden files though | 04:40 |
| rich97 | onetinsoldier: Thanks, I've tried that too but I get "no such file or folder" | 04:40 |
| maverick | Snayth, free | 04:40 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: I can give it a go | 04:40 |
| lacita | snayth: sudo ck-RAM upmaass | 04:40 |

| arghh2d2 | Quirkly: irssi ftw! | 04:51 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-do-i-move-hidden-files-188367 It appears the only way is to tar and extract again. | 04:51 |
| Quirkly | arghh2d2 that's the one I might've been looking for | 04:51 |
| nytek_ | Quirkly: irssi | 04:51 |
| Quirkly | awesome | 04:51 |
| Quirkly | thanks :) | 04:51 |
| Random832 | Quirkly; irssi, bitchx, epic4, xchat-text | 04:51 |
| Quirkly | also arghh2d2 the wicd thing is what did the trick | 04:51 |
| Random832 | is xchat-text even around anymore? | 04:51 |
| nytek_ | Quirkly: irssi is definitely my favorite, cli irc | 04:51 |
| arghh2d2 | irssi is bitchx all grown up | 04:52 |
| Flannel | mrpink57, rich97: cp -r .[^.]* should work | 04:52 |
| Quirkly | irssi will be, once I get my music going | 04:52 |
| Quirkly | priorities you know | 04:52 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: it kind of makes sense since they're hidden but rather annoying | 04:52 |
| jimisrvrox | My wireless problem: http://i.imgur.com/qNW1r.png | 04:52 |
| arghh2d2 | mpd+ncmpcpp! | 04:52 |

| arghh2d2 | i'm all about cli apps | 04:52 |
| Linux-CLI | I'm trying to install a .deb package, however it told me that I already had a package in use (because I pressed Ctrl+C on "sudo apt-get install patch"). So I gave up & just rebooted. Still getting the error when trying to install the .deb package, any ideas? | 04:52 |
| Baloo1 | does anyone have a clue wat im talking about | 04:53 |
| Quirkly | HOLY DAMN FLASHY STUFF | 04:54 |

| jimisrvrox | this damn rt2500 has been a problem for me ever since 8.04! | 04:56 |
| arghh2d2 | jimisrvrox: do you have the ethernet plugged in? | 04:56 |
| collabra | gdebi package | 04:56 |

| jimisrvrox | yeah right now | 04:56 |
| b0x_ | hi, would anyone be able to help me setting up the qtorrent webui? | 04:56 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: I would but I'm trying to make an install readme, git clone clones the folders into a subdirectory with the name of the repository. I'm trying to come up with a single comment that will clone and then take all of the files out of the git created subdirectory and place them in the current directory. | 04:56 |
| jimisrvrox | well to me that stuff is wingdings | 04:56 |
| collabra | Linux-CLI: gdebi package | 04:56 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 04:56 |
| arghh2d2 | jimisrvrox: rt2500 is supposed to have builtin support but it used to be used with ndiswrapper and i'm sure you could still use that | 04:57 |
| collabra | it'll install any .deb package well | 04:57 |
| jimisrvrox | yeah supposed to but meh..not a big fan of ndis.. | 04:57 |
| Baloo1 | does any one here have experience with ubuntu on a ps3 | 04:57 |
| jimisrvrox | arghh2d2: mind if I pm? | 04:57 |
| arghh2d2 | jimisrvrox: n/p | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | lacita: I told you in the other channel I am not interested in helping you. do not msg me again. thank you | 04:57 |
| meepmoop | Baloo: what you trying to do just stream media? | 04:57 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Does anybody know how to set up a network bridge? | 04:58 |

| zy3g0 | hi | 04:58 |
| ima | x starts up fine | 04:59 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: I asked in the Gentoo IRC and they said all files under the mv command should move hidden also. Do you lack permissions? | 04:59 |
| NoTownKasper | Question: Installed Vega Strike, it runs just fine if I execute the binary from within it's folder (So I assume the problem isn't with the program itself), but if I set up a gnome link, even directly to that same binary, it fails to load...any ideas on how to fix it? | 04:59 |
| meepmoop | Baloo1:what are you trying to do with your ps3? | 04:59 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: Nope it's in my home directory. ~/Webroot to be precise | 04:59 |
| lacita | gvj: you're back. | 04:59 |
| ima | mrpink57, arghh2d2, whichever one of you it was, x starts up fine. | 04:59 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Anybody? Network bridge? Help? | 05:00 |
| transonic | hey guys..can anyone suggest some lightweight browser | 05:00 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | transonic: You mean you don't like Firefox? Heretic. :p | 05:00 |
| Quirkly | NoTownKasper: perhaps it only likes running from within it's own folder...possibly make a script to cd to that folder, and then run it? | 05:00 |
| cfedde | there are none. Chrome is pretty fast. | 05:00 |
| Baloo1 | yeah maybe play some emus and type papers wen i need too im on an sdtv | 05:00 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | transonic: There's Epiphany. | 05:00 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: is the hold folder chmod 777? | 05:00 |
| gvj | @lacita ya i am back | 05:00 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | transonic: Don't know much about it, though. | 05:00 |
| mrpink57 | whole | 05:00 |
| lacita | gvj: any luck | 05:00 |
| lacita | ? | 05:00 |
| NoTownKasper | Quirkly: That would be a little out of my league without a walkthrough...know of one? | 05:00 |
| catorceavo | why did my sound suddenly stop working! | 05:00 |
| transonic | Thatguyoverthere: hmm..will try it | 05:01 |
| meepmoop | Baloo1:I don't really know more than how to just stream media movies/music if that's what you're looking to do I would suggest Ushare | 05:01 |
| Quirkly | NoTownKasper: a script would be a text file, .sh, with a couple commands, cd /path/to/file and then ./filename to run it | 05:01 |
| Quirkly | don't know any walkthroughs offhand, but the last step after saving that file, would be to chmod +x | 05:01 |
| Quirkly | to make it run | 05:01 |
| abhijit | how to add extra places menu in 'Places'? | 05:01 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: No a couple of the files in .git folder only have read permissions but it should still be able to copy should it not? | 05:01 |
| Baloo1 | wats ushare | 05:01 |
| NoTownKasper | Hrm, worth a try, I'll give it a whirl. | 05:01 |
| Quirkly | then umm, yeah, just run it I guess......I'm just guessing not sure if that's the problem or not | 05:01 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Does anybody know how to set up a network bridge? Come on! | 05:02 |
| Quirkly | it's the first thing I'd try, given what you said about the situation, that's all | 05:02 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: Also it is able to copy if I don't use your cp command. Otherwise it gives me a permission error. | 05:02 |
| meepmoop | Baloo1:it's software used to stream media from your pc to your ps3 | 05:02 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: well I think you are going to need full permission to move unless you put a sudo ahead of it. However that will give full permission to root once moved not the user. | 05:02 |
| vi2 | ... | 05:04 |
| NoTownKasper | Quirkly: just to make sure I have syntax correct, (1st line) cd ~/vegastrike-0.5.0/bin/ (2nd line) ./vegastrike-32 | 05:04 |
| Fancycakes | Hey guys, I have some TOR questions. | 05:05 |
| MTecknology | I have a wireless usb dongle right now - lsusb detects it but I have no idea how to use it as a wireless device; any ideas? | 05:05 |
| Quirkly | yeah NoTownKasper that should work, if you want, test it in a terminal window first | 05:05 |
| Quirkly | I find it easier to edit/change file modes via terminal anyways, but that's just me | 05:05 |
| Fancycakes | I found a thread (rather dated) and followed its instructions to use TOR with privoxy and Firefox. | 05:05 |

| Fancycakes | But how do I know when TOR is working? | 05:05 |
| Baloo1 | ok cool my issue is tho that my windows cut off and i cant resize them so i can manage them im on JJ | 05:06 |
| think43 | ok, ubuntu is really awesome | 05:06 |
| NoTownKasper | Fancycakes: Find one of the dozen or so different "What is my IP" types of websites and check to see if your IP is being masked. | 05:06 |
| think43 | They got the latest and configured up good | 05:06 |
| ima | arghh2d2, x runs | 05:06 |
| arghh2d2 | transonic: midori, netsurf, surf | 05:07 |
| mrpink57 | Fancycakes: I do not know what TOR is but I assume it is a process you can just type top in CLI and see all processes | 05:07 |
| ThatGuyOverThere | Okay, does anybody know anything about Firestarter? I'm trying to use it for internet connection sharing. | 05:07 |
| kbrosnan | Fancycakes: http://check.torproject.org/ or https://check.torproject.org/ | 05:07 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: X runs from startx? | 05:07 |
| ima | yes | 05:07 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: I just checked you need at least write permissions | 05:07 |
| collabra | mrpink57: TOR encrypts your internet transmission | 05:07 |
| Quirkly | so, is learning emacs a worthy endeavour, or asking for a headache? | 05:08 |
| Linux-CLI | I'm trying to install a .deb package, however it told me that I already had a package in use (because I pressed Ctrl+C on "sudo apt-get install patch"). So I gave up & just rebooted. Still getting the error when trying to install the .deb package, any ideas? | 05:09 |
| MrObvious | Hello. I need help with my printer. Basically it has something stuck in it's memory I think and it's stuck trying to print a document but nothing else will come out. It works fine with my Vista laptop though. | 05:09 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: hmmm, I might give up on this one then, they'll just have to move it with the file browser. | 05:09 |
| mrpink57 | Quirkly: at being 83mb it's too big of an install for me :) | 05:09 |
| MrObvious | It is a HP Deskjet 3940. | 05:09 |
| NoTownKasper | mrpink57: TOR is an Onion Router network, (Proxy chain) to try and browse anonymously, bypass IP blocks/country blocks and other situations where one would want to hide/mask/change their IP address. :P | 05:09 |
| ima | arghh2d2, I did create a symlink to libstdc++.so.6 called libstdc++.so.5, since 5 isn't in karmic. Don't know if that could have done it. | 05:09 |
| Quirkly | lol mrpink57 fair enough, just gotta say, it used to overwhelm me, but after reading a tutorial, I can see the power it possesses | 05:10 |
| mrpink57 | rich97: you could also chmod 755 which gives full rights to owner but only read execute to group | 05:10 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: then your gdm might be messed up...try loggin in as another user with the graphical login screen or while your in gui right now, check gdm settings | 05:10 |
| collabra | Linux-CLI: have you tried the gdebi package? | 05:10 |

| ima | arghh2d2, hmm my user should be the only one, except for root | 05:11 |
| catorceavo | some update must have done it. there is no more start-up sound or i cant play music or internet video sound | 05:11 |
| mrpink57 | jokehead: a netbook with linux installed I suppose | 05:11 |
| === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch | ||
| arghh2d2 | ima: just check your graphical login settings utility then | 05:12 |
| jokehead | mrpink57, I don't want a netbook | 05:12 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: idontknow, maybe you recently made some changes | 05:12 |
| mrpink57 | jokehead: you can find the adds online here and there for computers bought with ubuntu installed | 05:12 |
| gvj | @Mrobvious right click the printer configuration---->printer-----printer queue----then cancel thats it. ur memory is cleaned. i hope ur in ubuntu OS. | 05:12 |

| think43 | ardchoille, thanks | 05:14 |
| ardchoille | yw | 05:14 |
| MrObvious | gvj: Yeah I am. | 05:14 |

| jokehead | mrpink57, where have you seen the desktop? | 05:14 |
| ardchoille | jokehead: have you tried system76 or zareason? | 05:14 |
| gvj | so do wat i told man. | 05:14 |
| ima | arghh2d2, maybe I don't quite know what xstart is supposed to do, I didn't get gnome up, I only got my cursor and a black background. I assumed that was supposed to happen. | 05:14 |

| meepmoop | anyone here have any opinions on ubuntu studio I'm thinking about making a switch on another comp that I use strictly for recording | 05:15 |
| rich97 | mrpink57: I might just remove them all together now I think about it, if they want to keep the git files they can use the file browser to move them, if they just want to install it (plugin for CakePHP) then they don't need the .git files. | 05:15 |
| mrpink57 | jokehead: a site I frequent know as www.overclock.net has them in their add banners. but I did confirm Dell does Ubuntu setups | 05:15 |
| jokehead | ardchoille, thanks no I havent, have any more names to give me? | 05:15 |
| ardchoille | jokehead: http://system76.com/ or http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php | 05:15 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: you're in console and you typed startx and gnome didnt come up...you were supposed to take note of any error messages | 05:15 |
| ardchoille | jokehead: they both specialize in Linux desktops and laptops | 05:15 |
| ima | arghh2d2, I wasn't able to see any error messages because it was in fullscreen mode, how do I get back to my command line? I haven't used linux for ages. | 05:16 |

| arghh2d2 | ima: you're in a gui now? yes no? | 05:17 |
| mrpink57 | kheera: you need to configure your xorg to use the driver | 05:17 |
| ima | arghh2d2, dual boot, could get out my laptop whilst doing this though | 05:17 |
| jimisrvrox | having wireless problems would appreciate some help: http://i.imgur.com/qNW1r.png | 05:18 |
| jokehead | thanks folks | 05:18 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: i'm confused...the troublesome ubuntu...boots up to a black screen with a command prompt ima@ubuntu$ ? | 05:18 |
| kheera | mrpink57: thanks... xorg.conf says nothing about the mouse. am I in the right place even? | 05:18 |
| arghh2d2 | for example? | 05:19 |
| gvj | anyone going for RHCE exam....? | 05:19 |
| mrpink57 | kheera: you need to create the area. as far as that goes you would have to wiki it that's your best bet. I have HAL configure all of my peripherials plus I do not use Ubuntu | 05:19 |
| lacita | anyone know how to format a Dell Utility partition on a drive with a gpt partition table type? | 05:19 |
| catorceavo | why would the mute state be saved in between restarts? dumb ubuntu | 05:19 |
| kheera | thanks mrpink57 | 05:19 |
| ima | arghh2d2, I am able to get to the graphical Login screen, but whenever I put in my password I get a black screen for a few seconds then get returned to the login screen, logging in through the command prompt works fine though. | 05:20 |
| kheera | mrpink57: something like this probably? http://array.org/ubuntu/elantech.html | 05:20 |
| Izinucs | lacita: you want to get rid of the partition? | 05:20 |
| eduhat | is there any way i could install ubuntu 9.10 without all the extra packages? i like how everything looks and runs, just dont want all the extra stuff. | 05:21 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: Ok, so logging in through the command prompt..then your still left at a black screen with white letters? | 05:21 |
| uorygl | Ello. I'm trying to set up Ubuntu to act as a router. I've created a wireless network, but computers that connect to it aren't receiving IP addresses. Under the network's IPv4 settings, I have the Method set to "Shared to other computers"; is this what I want? | 05:21 |
| ima | arghh2d2, yes | 05:21 |
| Izinucs | eduhat: search for ubuntu minimal .. after install add what you want | 05:21 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: and then you type startx and what happens? | 05:21 |
| Shwack | Will CUPS ever print as well as Windows? | 05:21 |
| lacita | Izinucs: No, I already have it partitioned, I just need to format it to "Dell Utility" without messing up the gpt partition table. | 05:21 |
| eduhat | Izinucs: thanks. will it still look as beautiful as the livecd/install version? | 05:21 |
| Izinucs | Shwack: depends on your printer | 05:21 |
| Izinucs | lacita: you should be able to use gparted | 05:22 |
| mrpink57 | kheera: similar Elantech is a different type of mouse just make sure you setup the correct one. | 05:22 |
| Izinucs | eduhat: I don't know .. never used it. | 05:22 |
| ima | arghh2d2, it initializes and I get a fullscreen x session with only my cursor. | 05:22 |
| Shwack | Izinucs: Thanks. Brother MFC-7820N followed full Brother installation instructions. dpkg -l | grep Brother returns all the correct drivers - printing is still slow as watching paint dry in water. | 05:22 |
| mrpink57 | kheera: since I do not know can you configure HAL in Ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| Izinucs | eduhat: or install server then add whatever desktop manager you want | 05:22 |
| lacita | Izinucs: No "Dell Utility" support in gparted. fdisk can do it, but it doesn't support gpt. | 05:22 |
| Izinucs | Shwack: you might have done something wrong or not finished yet.. my brother mfc-7440n works fine.. with the exception of fax.. I haven't been able to get that to work yet | 05:23 |
| arghh2d2 | ima: ok, run ls -a ~/ and look for .xinitrc | 05:23 |
| kheera | mrpink57: i don't know anything about hal. i believe my laptop has the elanatech touchpad../. | 05:24 |
| mrpink57 | arghh2d2: .xinitrc is in root | 05:24 |
| Shwack | Izinucs: I dunno... I have installed every deb package twice | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | mrpink57: you should only mess with ~/.xinitrc ... | 05:24 |
| MTecknology | mrpink57: you also should never have to mess with hal | 05:25 |
| ima | arghh2d2, alright, let me get my laptop out so I can do it and be on here at the same time. | 05:25 |
| arghh2d2 | mrpink57: i need to get a virtualbox ubuntu going...its crazy... .xinitrc should be in the users home director, its like ubuntu tries to keep users away from the command line | 05:25 |
| snydermahler_ | I'm new to Ubuntu | 05:25 |
| gvj | which is the best free virtual machine management software for using in ubuntu. vmware, virtualbox, Qemu | 05:26 |
| mrpink57 | arghh2d2: im a jerk no its not its in /etc/skel/.xinitrc | 05:26 |
| Izinucs | Shwack: check this link and look for Scunizi's post.. there's an attachment.. I wrote it.. :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1362294 | 05:26 |
| ima | arghh2d2, alright, give me a few secs. | 05:26 |
| mrpink57 | arghh2d2: unless you manually copied it over it should be in that dir | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | arghh2d2: it's not there by default because it's not needed by default - if you need it you can easily create it | 05:27 |
| arghh2d2 | MTecknology: i know | 05:27 |
| MTecknology | arghh2d2: what's the issue then? | 05:27 |

I check my user permissions and apparently I don't have access to modify the networkmanager. Is that the problem? | 06:16 |
| rip | no I heard that you can hook up the cable line into a linux box and then change the address on the other nic to give a computer access to the internet using ip sub default and dns. That is not from the isp but from your linux box | 06:16 |
| rahduke | can anyone tell me of an easy way to share my samba media folders outside my network? I'm begining to think its not possible | 06:16 |
| ima | arghh2d2, didn't work | 06:16 |
| mvsn | is there an easy way to completely remove all FTP related apps/settings? | 06:17 |
| gdb | rip: I don't understand what you're trying to say. Your Internet traffic still has to pass through your ISP, and your ISP is the one blocking you from certain applications. What impact will changing your operating system have on what they're choosing to filter? | 06:17 |
| Izinucs | rip: even with a different DNS you're isp will still know what you're doing unless you use an encrypted tunnel to an outside proxy.. then you *might* have a chance of disguising what you're streaming | 06:17 |

| hyperstream | xixo1983, sudo apt-get remove zend | 06:18 |
| hyperstream | rip, doesnt work like that lol | 06:19 |
| rip | lol crap | 06:19 |
| xixo1983 | i use the zend.bin file | 06:19 |
| gdb | rip: That won't work. It worked before because the proxy you were using is on the other side of your ISP. If you put a proxy server on your local machine, it's on YOUR side of your ISP and your traffic will remain blocked. | 06:19 |
| ima | Izinucs, bah, it upgraded an few packages, but I still can't log in through the graphical login | 06:19 |
| hiexpo | busy night | 06:19 |
| xixo1983 | during installation | 06:19 |
| Izinucs | ima: you might also try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and let the system replace what might be missing.. | 06:19 |
| xixo1983 | it is also not showing add/remove | 06:19 |
| gdb | xixo1983: Then it's not under package management and you will have to remove it by hand. | 06:19 |
| hyperstream | rip, its slow because its a crap proxy, you browser works like this Browser>ISP>Proxy>Site then returns the info in that order. | 06:20 |
| ima | Izinucs, alright, and if that fails, what is the command to make it replace it completely? | 06:20 |
| Izinucs | xixo1983: that's because it was a .bin file that wasn't in the repositories.. so apt-get doesn't track it.. | 06:20 |
| rip | i see | 06:20 |

| prettyplmm | what's the difference between "route" and "ip route" | 06:21 |
| gdb | xixo1983: We understand that. Your software (in this case Zend Studio) is not being managed by the system. You can't use the system's package management to remove it. You will have to figure out where it is installed and remove it by hand (ie; with rm -rf). | 06:21 |
| ima | Izinucs, yes, but often it says the package is already installed, so to reinstall a package I uninstall then reinstall? | 06:21 |
| rip | so I cant hide fromo my isp | 06:22 |
| gdb | ima: You can reinstall software without first removing it. | 06:22 |
| xixo1983 | /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-7.0.0 | 06:22 |
| gdb | ima: aptitude reinstall <package_name> | 06:22 |
| Izinucs | ima: no.. ubuntu-desktop will pull what it needs.. give it a shot and see. | 06:22 |
| gdb | xixo1983: Then removing it is simple. $ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/Zend | 06:22 |
| ima | gdb, thank you | 06:22 |
| ima | Izinucs, yeah I'll try it, be back in a bit | 06:22 |
| gdb | ima: Sure thing. I'm not sure if apt-get has reinstall as an option, but aptitude certainly does. | 06:22 |
| iceroot | xixo1983: if i am correct you can disable zend in php.ini | 06:23 |
| Izinucs | ima: you can also apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop | 06:23 |
| prettyplmm | what's the difference between "route" and "ip route" | 06:23 |
| gdb | prettyplmm: In what context? | 06:23 |
| tyler_d | one has an "ip " in front prettyplmm | 06:23 |
| rip | it that was true than how do hackers hide from there isp? Use a slow proxy address | 06:23 |
| iceroot | prettyplmm: man route man ip | 06:23 |
| hyperstream | rip, works kinda like this Application>ISP> there is where the isp blocks the PORT its using, how ever you can use a proxy to generally bypass website filter(80) by connection to the proxy(its not black listed) then use the proxy to get the content and send it back through the chain | 06:23 |
| hyperstream | rip, they dont | 06:24 |
| hyperstream | rip they have to connect to it to use it lol | 06:24 |
| xixo1983 | if i am correct you can disable zend in php.ini ? | 06:24 |
| iceroot | xixo1983: yes | 06:24 |
| prettyplmm | explain more please? | 06:24 |
| xixo1983 | then what will happend | 06:24 |
| iceroot | xixo1983: /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | 06:24 |
| xixo1983 | i will disable | 06:25 |
| iceroot | xixo1983: its not being used then | 06:25 |
| gdb | prettyplmm: You've not given enough information to give you a complete answer. For most intents and purposes, "route" and "ip route" mean the same thing. Like "car" and "automobile". What context are you referring to? | 06:25 |
| xixo1983 | whether i should use rm -rf /usr/local/Zend | 06:25 |
| prettyplmm | gdb: are they all using the kernel to process? i'm new to routing | 06:26 |
| hyperstream | xixo1983, and remove it from PHP, or your apache server might not start. | 06:26 |
| hyperstream | PHP = apache/php | 06:26 |

| maco | jguzikowski: Enlightenment 17 seems it will be a full DE when its done, while 16 and older were just window managers | 06:44 |
| jguzikowski | ohh really? i loved e16 now that im thinking about it | 06:44 |
| Broken | hello all | 06:45 |
| maco | jguzikowski: yeah when i tried e17 in 2007, they had a file manager and a music player and a few other things they were working on | 06:45 |
| jguzikowski | maco, thats awesome..any idea when that'll be available? | 06:45 |
| === user is now known as Guest10326 | ||
| maco | jguzikowski: e17 has been in development for 7 years right now i think. i think its also still considered alpha (because its not feature complete... those apps arent done. not because of stability...its rock solid) | 06:46 |
| jguzikowski | wow..alphas available i assume? i may wanna try this out | 06:47 |
| maco | jguzikowski: yep yep. i built it from source on debian etch in 2007, but i imagine there are debs now. there were debs in sid at the time... | 06:47 |

| Caligan | Can anyone recommend a good place to start for figuring out how to get an Ubuntu box set up to send mail? I've got one configured that seemed to echo the proper responses, but the webpage I have hosted on it isn't sending anything out, and the nail command I used in an attempt to test it didn't succeed. I'm so far unfamiliar with mail servers that I'm at the floundering point. | 06:49 |

| aporetic | hey guys, i have what's probably a dumb question here -- is it possible to get an ubuntu install minus all the silly gnome/kde cruft? basically i just want the newer packages etc. | 06:52 |
| maco | !minimal | aporetic | 06:53 |
| ubottu | aporetic: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 06:53 |
| pwnedulongtime | aporetic, xubuntu ...gnome and kde is silly? | 06:53 |
| maco | aporetic: just dont choose a -desktop task when doing the install | 06:53 |
| maco | pwnedulongtime: i think the idea is a command line only system | 06:53 |
| pwnedulongtime | oh | 06:53 |
| aporetic | pwnedulongtime: haha, i want to use awesome as my wm but debian's version is well over a year old | 06:53 |

| MTec007 | ndiswrapper -l says ssb is alternate driver but its blacklisted. says bcmwl5 is the driver and hardware is present. ubuntu network mgr says no network devices available. blacklisted ssb bcm43xx b43legacy. am i missing something, something i forgot to do? | 07:09 |
| kinja-sheep | indus: No. Infect them! Infect them all you can! It is not your fault for their Windows silliness. :) | 07:09 |
| jaysern | maybe a dumb question, by why does my python script fail to continue executing after I logout from SSH even with I push it into background with & ? | 07:10 |
| mtx_init | There is absolutely nothing stopping Linux from being infected with a virus. Its a common misconception. | 07:10 |
| indus | kinja-sheep, no i wont :) | 07:10 |
| mtx_init | jaysern: because the python script is a fork of your shell | 07:10 |
| indus | jasmin_1, hello | 07:11 |
| MTec007 | jaysern not sure but some times using nohup yourcommandhere & will let it continue to run | 07:11 |
| indus | jasmin_1, you try follow that bug report, should help you | 07:11 |
| jaysern | so my SSH session forks .. another shell that runs my python script? | 07:11 |

| jaysern | hmm.. but using screen, that's a work-around ;) avoiding the problem | 07:12 |
| jaysern | surely people have written background scripts in .py before | 07:12 |
| haffe | I am not that familiar with it, but don't you need to run it with bg ? | 07:13 |
| mtx_init | jaysern: when you ssh into another computer, it is a fork of the sshd daemon, which execs a shell in your name. When you log out abruptly your child process is left as a zombie and picked up by the ancestor of your parent, which then exit's you or kills your process. | 07:13 |

| mtx_init | if your computer cannot boot from a usb flash drive, then it does not have the internal instructions to bootstrap to that device. You will likely have to use a 3rd item like a cd boot loader or a hard drive and chain it to the usb drive | 07:20 |
| MTec007 | Rowan hit F12 when your BIOS screen pops up? | 07:20 |

| Rowan | Little meaning 13. | 07:31 |

| hyperstream | Rowan, whats the issue? | 07:32 |
| Rowan | Netbook is being a PITA with trying to install. | 07:32 |
| Rowan | hyperstream: The first ISO I used with UNetbootin threw me into a terminal mode (ash) and I couldn't get anywhere from there. | 07:32 |
| Xeddy | jj3124: Just FYI it's not such a good idea to install one OS on top of the other or like reinstall the OS.. it's always a better option to just backup your personal data and format/delete the partitions. | 07:32 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, whats wrong with the normal live cd ? | 07:33 |

| Rowan | I'm trying to install Ubuntu because Win7Starter is crippleware and nearly useless, and I don't want to give it my money to make it not useless. | 07:34 |
| tomatoes7 | something like that | 07:34 |
| mehheh | petsounds: i have finished teh tutoral it seemed to work i now am going to try booting my hdd | 07:34 |
| mehheh | petsounds: thanks for help | 07:34 |

| hyperstream | Rowan, ahh | 07:35 |
| Rowan | New ISO is only at 76% right now downloading, so I have a bit of time before I get to try again, but with that happening, I've been getting frustrated. | 07:35 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, no bios support? | 07:35 |
| Josh90 | lot's of work | 07:35 |
| Rowan | there must be /some/ bios support. unetbootin /ran/. | 07:35 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, does your bios support booting from a USB device? | 07:35 |
| Rowan | hyperstream: if those had helped, I wouldn't be here. | 07:35 |
| Rowan | I'm not /sure/. | 07:35 |
| Josh90 | Sorry | 07:35 |
| MTec007 | Rowan: the only thing i can come up with is this, and i know its not helping you much: "Reboot your Aspire One with the USB stick in one of its USB sockets. When you see the BIOS screen, hit F12 to select the USB stick as the boot device. This will cause the Aspire One to boot the Debian installer from the USB stick." | 07:35 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, hard to mind read if your've seen those sites, sorry. | 07:36 |
| Rowan | MTec007: That general principle should help, I think. | 07:36 |
| jj3124 | Xeddy, got that su working now | 07:36 |

| jj3124 | Xeddy, k, did that | 07:37 |
| Xeddy | !password | Josh90 | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Josh90: 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.

| Xeddy | jj3124: That should do the trick, now try installing the theme | 07:38 |
| Rowan | Right. | 07:38 |
| jj3124 | Xeddy, sigh..still saying the same insufficient permissions | 07:38 |
| Rowan | I'm waiting for the ISO to download and burn now. And then I'm going to go grab my macbook so that I can stay on IRC while I do this. | 07:39 |
| Rowan | also, would removing the wireless adapter for my mouse have any effect? | 07:39 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, does it have some kind of model number? | 07:39 |
| jj3124 | Xeddy, if I browse over to where .themes is theres a big lock on it | 07:39 |
| Josh90 | No trying to put something in the file system and it says i do not have permission. Even tho i have the administrator | 07:39 |
| MTec007 | Rowan couldnt hurt to remove it | 07:39 |
| hyperstream | !sudo | Josh90 | 07:39 |
| ubottu | Josh90: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 07:39 |
| Xeddy | jj3124: it still probably has the old permissions from your previous install... I'd recommend googling for how to reset folder permissions or something like that | 07:40 |
| jj3124 | Xeddy, okay, t hanks for all your help | 07:40 |
| Xeddy | jj3124: Np, good luck with the googling :) | 07:40 |
| Rowan | hyperstream, I'm not actually sure. | 07:40 |
| Josh90 | hyperstream. Thanks. | 07:40 |
| Josh90 | Still learning | 07:40 |
| Rowan | the model number is letters and numbers that don't stick well in my head. | 07:40 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, on the bottom i think (on a sticker perhaps) | 07:40 |
| jj3124 | Think I might just do a compeltely fresh intstall of ubuntu on the hard drive | 07:41 |
| Rowan | Right, k. (I'm on my netbook right now, which isn't making any of this easier, mind you.) | 07:41 |
| hyperstream | Rowan, have you seen this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L <-- im guessing you have | 07:41 |

| indus | mtx_init, Xeddy yes i believe sudo wont work, visudo also seems not to work in ubuntu | 07:45 |
| Xeddy | indus: I'm not sure... btw, I think it's better you use visudo | 07:45 |

| Geekpirat | Hey guys. I made a litte update script via bin/bash. It keeps me asking "do you want to install this and that [y/n]". How can I disable that to get rid of the user interaktion | 07:54 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: pastebinning the script might help | 07:56 |
| ardchoille | !paste | 07:56 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 07:56 |
| Rowan | alright, reboot and install time. | 07:56 |
| Geekpirat | thank you | 07:56 |
| Geekpirat | will try that | 07:56 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: But, if your script is calling some apt-get function, you may not want to disable that as it might be the system keeping your packages managed properly | 07:58 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: I only used some apt-get install, update and upgrade functions | 07:59 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: I wonder how this could be bad...as I will answer them with "yes" anyways... | 08:00 |
| ardchoille | geekbuntu: right, and I'll bet the user interaction is apt-getdoing its job | 08:00 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: why not use a bash alias instead of a script? | 08:01 |
| mrb427 | can anyone help me fix this line of script? for k in $(ls *.cropped.png); do octave -q --eval 'gen_pers_stats("$k")'; done | 08:01 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: this is what I use: alias updateall='aptud && aptug && echo "Update complete"' | 08:02 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: Because I used different stuff in the script. Downloading Opera from the website via wget and in the future it should configure the DNS entries (uning opendns) and stuff like that | 08:02 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: Ah, nice | 08:02 |
| Myrtti | Geekpirat: the most disasterous scripts seen on this channel have "assumed yes" | 08:03 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: it's not good to allow a script to assume yes, better to watch things | 08:03 |
| Akos | good morning | 08:03 |
| ardchoille | That's why I use a bash alias and not a script | 08:03 |
| JumboJellyfish | http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=paolo# | 08:04 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: I understand it is a bit dangerous. But I will try the script first in a VM many times before using it. | 08:04 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: why not: for k in *.cropped.png; ? | 08:05 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: Even if the script makes damages its not THAT problematic. because its a script only run once after a clean reinstall of ubuntu. | 08:05 |
| ardchoille | geekbuntu: That'sthe same thing I heard from the developer of Automatix | 08:06 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: It should only do the stuff I will do anyway on my laptop autonaticly | 08:06 |
| ardchoille | Geekpirat: Ok, it's your system | 08:06 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: you don't need the "ls" bit because the loop will loop through each file ending in .cropped.png anyway | 08:07 |
| Geekpirat | ardchoille: In fact, I ruin my system nearly once a month ^^ so, why not ruin it twice... | 08:07 |
| mrb427 | ardchoille: yeah, but then i still have the problem that k is in double quotes at the end of the line, so it puts in the char k and not the variable k | 08:08 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: use $k to specify the variable k | 08:08 |
| ardchoille | "k" will yield a "k" | 08:08 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: example: for k in *.cropped.png; do echo $k; done | 08:09 |
| mrb427 | ardchoille: i still seem to have the same problem : / | 08:09 |
| mrb427 | ardchoille: yeah but the problem is that the $k is in double quotes in my script | 08:11 |

| tomatoes7 | it must be stuck in an infinite loop | 08:12 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: example: for k in *.cropped.png; do echo "$k"; done | 08:12 |
| tomatoes7 | can you run osx on a pc? | 08:13 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: your problem is this: $(ls *.cropped.png) | 08:13 |
| tico | tomatoes7 yes | 08:13 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: use for k in *.cropped.png; instead | 08:13 |
| mrb427 | ardchoille: yeah i tried changing it to for k in *.cropped.png and i still get the same error | 08:13 |
| tico | i can explain how to | 08:13 |
| tomatoes7 | cool...now i don't have to buy a mac | 08:13 |
| ttyX | tomatoes7: yes you can | 08:13 |

| ardchoille | [00:13] <tomatoes7> can you run osx on a pc? | 08:14 |
| tomatoes7 | tell tico | 08:15 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: I'm telling you the for k in *.cropped.png is not the problem in your code, the problem lies elsewhere | 08:15 |
| tomatoes7 | i'm not trying to put osx on a pc | 08:15 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: are you sure this bit works? octave -q --eval 'gen_pers_stats("$k")' | 08:15 |
| daemonvs | should i set up LVM during the installation of ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| nsgn | howdy. i need to trigger a script from evolution's filter rules. the "run program" filter action being set to a script with execute permissions does nothing. what gives? | 08:16 |
| mrb427 | ardchoille: it works when i run it just in the command line, with a string in stead of $k | 08:16 |
| ardchoille | mrb427: That means nothing, many times a command line code will not successfully execute in a script | 08:16 |

| asdff | gnome-system-monitor | 08:38 |
| home | ziroday, http://pastebin.com/f467a2639 | 08:38 |
| ziroday | home: okay, try change the line Driver "fglrx" to Driver "ati" for now | 08:39 |
| nowonmai | asdff: and it has no name? | 08:39 |
| GobLoCk | im a new in ubuntu | 08:39 |
| asdff | nowonmai: Indeed. it is also using 'N/A' memory | 08:39 |
| asdff | nowonmai: sometimes it dissapears and comes back, also killing it just restarts the ID number | 08:40 |
| nowonmai | asdff: that *is* odd. Its PID changes or remains the same? | 08:40 |
| asdff | nowonmai: ? It is constantly changing. It gradually increases its number. | 08:40 |
| Slart | asdff: add some columns to the system monitor.. see what other information you can find about it | 08:40 |
| asdff | kk brb | 08:41 |
| home | ziroday, okay. | 08:41 |
| nowonmai | asdff: add the 'command line' column to the process view | 08:42 |
| asdff | nowonmai: it's very hard to view one thing with all the columns, it constantly moves processes up and down :S | 08:42 |
| home | ziroday, doesn't that just change it back to the open source driver? | 08:42 |
| nowonmai | asdff: it's probably sorted by activity... change the sorting to name or something else that's static | 08:43 |

| Kartagis | home, indeed, but how can I solve it? | 08:47 |

| ziroday | home: hehe, nope | 08:55 |
| Slart | Metzgerr: is this an ubuntu issue? what is a "Minority indicator code"? | 08:56 |
| Flannel | theadmin: The colon is the separator (echo $PATH to see the rest). That's for this session only. Add it to your profile/bash_profile for permanence | 08:56 |
| theadmin | Flannel: I added "PATH="$HOME/Programs/apachehttpd:$PATH"" to my .profile, yet "echo $PATH" does not show the directory specified. | 08:57 |

| theadmin | Flannel: o_O | 08:58 |
| Metzgerr | Slart, no its offtopic, not ubuntu related ;) | 08:59 |
| joshhunt | royrussell: Yeah, i tried using ffmpeg, but it complained about codec support or something like that. I can only use command line apps | 08:59 |
| Slart | Metzgerr: then perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better place to ask.. we try to keep this channel for ubuntu support only | 08:59 |
| Flannel | theadmin: You changed a file that gets read whenever you log in. Changing it won't affect your current session (because it only is read when you start up, not constantly). Make sense? | 08:59 |
| Metzgerr | ok, sorry | 08:59 |
| royrussell | joshhunt do you have the stripped ubuntu ffmpeg, or the unstripped one? | 08:59 |
| theadmin | Flannel: Yeah. Just never heard of "source" | 09:00 |

| Slart | pweezy: you mean the "cannot login as root to gnome"-setting? | 09:34 |
| arand | indus: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is the equivalence, but you shouldn't edit that... atm the creation of the lists are all baked into the helper scripts | 09:34 |

| arand | indus: So there is no proper equivalence, no. | 09:35 |

| Pixar2 | Hey, any idea how to backup the Ktorrent seeding torrents before a clean Ubuntu reinstall? I really don't want to reseed manually over 100 torrents. | 09:43 |
| theadmin | Pixar2: I believe it should be in it's config directory. | 09:43 |
| home | indus, do you know how to compile the quake 3 source? | 09:43 |
| theadmin | Pixar2: ~/.ktorrent maybe... or ~/.kde/ktorrent or something similar | 09:43 |
| nagarjuna_ | how to install latex in ubuntu | 09:44 |
| Pixar2 | I checked it's main folder and it's nothing related to my seeding torrents over there | 09:44 |

| gh0st | Hello, is it possible to install/run/maintain Vuze in a CLI Environment? im looking to have my ubuntu server to have a torrent client that is capable of remote management and possibly a built in tracker. any ideas? | 09:46 |
| nagarjuna_ | how to configure static network in ubuntu | 09:46 |
| theadmin | gh0st: AFAIR, Transmission has a CLI interface AND is capable of remotely controlling | 09:46 |
| theadmin | nagarjuna_: As for LaTeX, try the texmaker package. A good frontend. | 09:48 |
| gh0st | :theadmin i found transmission to be quite slow and doesnt offer much in the way of a webui, also no embedded tracker(embedded tracker isnt make or break, just a nice bonus) but main detterent, it downloads WAY to slow, one of the worst clients ive ever experimented with | 09:49 |

| ikonia | chilli0: do you want clients to bond to AD, or do you want a linux AD server ? | 10:08 |
| chilli0 | ikonia, Clients will be linux, so a linux main server. | 10:09 |
| chilli0 | ikonia, ubuntu clients and probley debian serever. | 10:09 |
| === eghm_ is now known as eghm | ||

| knxville | mind-gi, if its every 5 minutes, it's because your screensaver is dimming every 5 minutes.. as obaid said, its screensaver or powersaver | 10:38 |

| obaid | i dont know about KDE, never used it turtle^s0up | 10:44 |
| obaid | ChaosR, daemons would log errors, can you check them | 10:45 |
| turtle^s0up | obaid: thanks for the hint | 10:45 |
| ChaosR | obaid: checking every log from every started program is a bit extensive | 10:45 |
| ChaosR | obaid: the scripts are simply never run | 10:45 |
| ChaosR | obaid: somewhere the boot process goes like meh and stops running, and trows in my kde-login | 10:46 |
| obaid | ChaosR, if you have added some services to start on boot, you should use update-rc.d | 10:46 |
| ChaosR | obaid: rc.local seems pretty default to me, plus stuff was working a week ago | 10:47 |
| obaid | ChaosR, checking your logs are the only way to see what is the problem | 10:47 |
| ChaosR | obaid: where are the boot logs, I can't seem to remember where they are | 10:48 |
| obaid | /var/log | 10:48 |

| djdarkman | I had to upgrade alsa, cause the newest version has a bugfix that I need badly | 10:54 |
| obaid | jokehead, it takes time, in milliseconds, that wouldn't matter | 10:55 |
| V1k1n9 | obaid: Yeah thx, but that doesn't work :) | 10:55 |

| barf | I am about to make an upgrade from 6.10 LTS | 10:56 |
| Sano_ | Are general computer questions allowed here? Such as networking related? | 10:56 |
| barf | Which version to go for? | 10:56 |
| obaid | V1k1n9, you are incrementing the array number, num[i] would be pointing to 2 if + 1, initial value 1 | 10:56 |
| barf | Lucid Lynx? | 10:56 |
| llutz | barf: wait a while, upgrade to 10.04 | 10:57 |
| barf | Any ETA? | 10:57 |
| obaid | V1k1n9, at least it is like that in cpp | 10:57 |
| llutz | barf: 10.04 | 10:57 |
| barf | August? | 10:57 |
| barf | May? | 10:57 |
| llutz | 2010 april | 10:57 |
| Myrtti | !lucid | 10:57 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 10:57 |
| barf | :-) | 10:57 |
| barf | T | 10:57 |
| barf | Thanks | 10:57 |
| Myrtti | barf: the version number tells the release time | 10:58 |
| barf | Ahh | 10:58 |
| freakynl | hi, is it possible to get ubuntu server on stick w/o burning iso? Now I normally put the installer with unetbootin on stick and use that to install to another stick, not very efficient :) | 10:58 |
| barf | 6.10 LTS has been solid as a rock | 10:58 |
| barf | However now some of the stuff is too dated | 10:58 |
| Myrtti | barf: there is no such version... | 10:58 |
| barf | Is there an adviced maintenance plan? | 10:58 |
| barf | 6.04 then? | 10:58 |
| freakynl | go to 8.04 lts? | 10:59 |
| barf | $ cat /etc/issue | 10:59 |
| barf | Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS \n \l | 10:59 |
| llutz | barf: since when did 6.10 get no security updates anymore? not recommended to run that outdated stuff | 10:59 |
| freakynl | or wait for 10.4... not sure if it's going to be lts, but since 8.04 is lts i would presume so | 10:59 |
| barf | I am waiting for 10.4 then | 10:59 |
| arand | 10.04 will be LTS | 10:59 |
| barf | Then I will switch HW at the same time :-) | 11:00 |
| barf | Are there maintenance plans? | 11:00 |

| ChaosR | so, can anyone help me with my weird boot problem? | 11:04 |
| barf | Tell us about your weird boot problem | 11:05 |
| barf | And somebody might answer, if they know or feel like it | 11:05 |
| ChaosR | several scripts in rc*.d aren't executed, at all (including, but probably not limited to rc.local, lighttpd and cherokee) | 11:06 |
| Ferreira | anybody here use backtrack 4 | 11:06 |
| ChaosR | no logs whatsoever on what happens | 11:06 |
| ripon | why? | 11:06 |
| bazhang | Ferreira, that is not supported here | 11:06 |
| bazhang | !derivatives | Ferreira | 11:07 |
| ubottu | Ferreira: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 11:07 |
| bazhang | Ferreira, /join #backtrack-linux | 11:07 |
| Ferreira | ok thanks | 11:07 |
| djdarkman | how do I fetch a source package? | 11:07 |
| ChaosR | although kdm starts normally | 11:07 |
| ChaosR | but that isn't a rc*.d script | 11:07 |
| barf | ChaosR: Try a different kernel? | 11:07 |
| ChaosR | barf: do you really think a kernel could cause such a problem? | 11:08 |
| barf | if there are no logs, yes | 11:08 |
| ChaosR | seems, odd, but worth trying | 11:08 |
| ChaosR | brb | 11:08 |
| barf | BTW boot problems from my perspective is in BIOS or EFI... but then again rc is run at system launch | 11:09 |
| linkiduu | Hi..is there any .chm reader for ubuntu ? | 11:10 |
| bazhang | linkiduu, there are several chmsee and others | 11:10 |
| freakynl | xchm gnu-chm or g-chm, kchm... apt-cache search chm | 11:10 |
| indus | hi | 11:11 |
| bazhang | linkiduu, gnochm as well | 11:11 |
| ripon | yea | 11:11 |
| freakynl | and one seems to come with wine... but it sucks here (i'm on gentoo tho'). searching crashes it | 11:11 |
| barf | Will mondrian be part of Lucid Lynx? | 11:11 |
| linkiduu | thanks..I am installing gnochm | 11:11 |
| barf | Anyone know if there is a window manager that uses SVG as standard graphics? | 11:12 |
| jussi01 | djdarkman: not sure if someone answered you, but apt-get source <packagename> | 11:12 |

| tom_ | test | 11:16 |
| indus | !test | 11:16 |
| ubottu | hrm? | 11:16 |
| indus | !test | 11:17 |
| Explore3 | anyone here? | 11:17 |
| tom_ | Sorry for spamming. Having IRC troubles on another channel | 11:17 |
| freakynl | some times | 11:17 |
| Dantonic | I'm having issues ripping CDs to flac. The file size of the flac rips is way too big, bigger than the wav counterpart. I've tried using both sound juicer and Rubyripper. Any idea what's going on? | 11:17 |
| tom_ | Dantonic: Bigger FLACs than WAVs makes no sense | 11:18 |
| freakynl | Dantonic: no... but i would guess something is upsampling it (ie from 16kHz to 24 or from 44.1 to 48 etc) | 11:18 |
| Dantonic | I though it just had to do with sound juicer at first, but I just tried with rubyripper and I have the same problem :( | 11:19 |
| ChaosR | ok, this is amazing, the boot process doesn't even get to the login screen, only kdm works (not tty1-6), and only the current kernel is willing to boot, no other | 11:19 |
| Dantonic | freakynl, what's the regular sample rate of a CD? | 11:21 |
| freakynl | 44.1 / 16 | 11:22 |
| Dantonic | freakynl, do you use any particular software? | 11:23 |
| Dantonic | do you rip to flac? | 11:23 |
| freakynl | Dantonic: no i rip to ogg or acc. usually use grip | 11:25 |
| freakynl | personally, after 192k ogg (with aotuv extentions) any higher doesn't do anything for me. perhaps with classical music but i don't listen to it | 11:25 |
| ChaosR | ok, can anybody help me with this odd boot problem: No /etc/rc*.d/ script gets executed, tty1-6 don't get to the login screen, kdm does get started, only the current kernel works | 11:25 |
| Dantonic | freakynl, here's a "settings" line from sound juicer: "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! flacenc name=enc" is it supposed to have 2 channels? | 11:26 |
| freakynl | Dantonic: yea left and right would be nice :) | 11:26 |
| Dantonic | ok :P | 11:26 |
| ChaosR | oh, and the last line on the onscreen bootlog is ureadahead-other terminated with status 4 | 11:26 |
| indus | ChaosR, what version of ubuntu is this | 11:27 |
| ChaosR | karmic | 11:27 |
| indus | ChaosR, happened since when | 11:27 |
| ChaosR | about 1 week ago, I noticed cherokee didn't get started | 11:27 |
| freakynl | ChaosR: hmm might be that the init script crashes/stops because of that error | 11:27 |
| indus | !info cherokee | 11:27 |
| ubottu | cherokee (source: cherokee): Very fast, flexible and easy to configure web server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.99.19-1build1 (karmic), package size 176 kB, installed size 640 kB | 11:27 |
| crow_ | I installed googleearth using synaptic, but it's not in the menu. What do I do? | 11:28 |
| ChaosR | so what I did is switch to lighttpd, same problem | 11:28 |
| indus | ChaosR, only the current kernel ? what do you mean | 11:28 |
| ChaosR | when I pick any other kernel | 11:28 |
| ChaosR | it boots | 11:28 |
| indus | ChaosR, looks like an update screwed up your thing | 11:29 |
| ChaosR | but gets stuck on a black screen with 1 _ | 11:29 |
| indus | ChaosR, a display update probably | 11:29 |
| ChaosR | even when I remove splash and quiet | 11:29 |
| ChaosR | indus: possible, but how does that explain the rc*.d scripts not starting | 11:30 |
| === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa | ||
| indus | ChaosR,or maybe an initramfs update | 11:30 |
| indus | ChaosR, try running sudo update initramfs | 11:30 |
| Ujjain | How do I see if I'm running Debian or Ubuntu? | 11:30 |
| indus | ChaosR, update-initramfs | 11:30 |
| indus | ChaosR, maybe that helps i dont know about startup scripts | 11:31 |
| Ujjain | What does this mean? hdparm -tT /dev/md0: read(2097152) returned 24576 bytes, Timing buffered disk reads: , read() failed: Input/output error | 11:32 |
| ChaosR | Ujjain: lsb_release -i | 11:32 |
| Ujjain | Ubuntu. | 11:32 |
| Ujjain | I think one of my disk drives or the raid controller is broken. | 11:32 |
| ChaosR | indus: how would I go about fixing this, if this doesn't work, reinstall? | 11:32 |
| Ujjain | wow, even 'ls' says: ls: reading directory .: Input/output error :| | 11:33 |
| indus | ChaosR, did you try the command i said | 11:33 |
| ChaosR | indus: yes, and I will reboot in a sec | 11:33 |
| indus | ChaosR, i suggest running an update from the console if you get to one | 11:33 |
| arand | Ujjain: It may just be a specific folder being corrupt? | 11:33 |
| ChaosR | indus: getting to a console is easy, kdm still boots on my topmost kernel (seen from grub) | 11:33 |
| ChaosR | from kdm I can login, and open konsole | 11:34 |
| indus | ChaosR, yu probably did a partial uprade? and gort messed up | 11:34 |
| ChaosR | anyways, I'm going to see if this works, and if not, reinstally time | 11:34 |
| indus | ChaosR, yeah i guess | 11:35 |
| ChaosR | I guess I should stop hacking my ubuntu as much as I do, it tends to break (though usually in a fixable fashion) | 11:35 |
| Ujjain | md0, is software raid, right? | 11:35 |
| indus | ChaosR, good luck | 11:35 |
| ChaosR | thanks | 11:35 |
| indus | ChaosR, what hacking did you do really | 11:35 |
| ChaosR | indus: custom kernel, load of backport repositories | 11:36 |
| indus | ChaosR,ok then my advice is null and void | 11:36 |
| dreki | whats the best way to mount an iso? | 11:36 |
| ChaosR | though, still shouldn't break as badly as it has | 11:36 |
| indus | ChaosR, whya custom kernel? whats special | 11:37 |
| ChaosR | indus: brain fuck scheduler, preempt, 1000hz ticks, no dynamic ticks | 11:37 |
| ChaosR | besides that stock ubuntu kernel | 11:37 |
| indus | ChaosR, brain what?is that the name of smething? | 11:37 |
| indus | ChaosR, nvm that, what is 1000 ticks | 11:38 |
| ChaosR | indus: hehe, read on kernel material, basically all I did was make the desktop more responsive, nothing special | 11:38 |
| nowonmai | dreki: mount xxxx.iso /mnt -o loop -t iso9660 | 11:39 |
| ChaosR | its more tweaking than hacking what I did | 11:39 |
| crowx | how do I install googleearth? | 11:39 |
| ChaosR | indus: I was planning on opening a special desktop-kernel repository | 11:39 |
| ChaosR | anyways, rebooty time now, brb | 11:40 |

| hyperstream | ociugi, man smbpasswd | 11:46 |
| hyperstream | BeGuy1, CTRL + C i think does the trick | 11:46 |
| BeGuy1 | hyperstream is there other way | 11:46 |
| ociugi | <hyperstream> i found it but i can't add the user | 11:47 |
| hyperstream | BeGuy1, is it in the man pages at all ? | 11:47 |
| hyperstream | BeGuy1, one sec | 11:47 |
| hyperstream | BeGuy1, its in the man file, says hit q | 11:47 |
| ociugi | but this time i've tried smbpasswd -a -m compname | 11:47 |
| ociugi | it works | 11:48 |
| hyperstream | ociugi, its not the computer name- its the account on the windows box | 11:48 |
| ociugi | <hyperstream> ok | 11:48 |
| hyperstream | ociugi, you may have to add the username to the user accounts in xp, im not too sure | 11:49 |
| collabra | ociugi: it's not the account on the windows box,... it's the usershare on the linux box | 11:49 |
| collabra | ociugi: don't forget to edit the config file in /etc/samba | 11:51 |
| ociugi | <collabra> yes, my problem is i can't print my document. i assume that the samba did not recognised the user | 11:51 |
| terminhell | ello ello | 11:52 |
| collabra | ociugi: you're probably right,.. but don't forget to edit the config file in /etc/samba to allow for your printer to be shared,... it's not shared by default | 11:52 |
| ociugi | <collabra> actually i am the one connecting to winXP printer server | 11:53 |
| collabra | ociugi: i see,.. then it should work | 11:54 |
| ociugi | <collabra> once i print my document the printer keeps asking me the username and password | 11:54 |
| collabra | ociugi: does it allow you to print? | 11:55 |

| Akos | plustax: I believe it's in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox it should be a .xml file | 11:58 |
| Akos | plustax: unfortunately I can't check that now, I'm not in front of an ubuntu machine | 11:59 |
| collabra | ociugi: under xp,...there is a way to turn off or on encryption for authentication,...i think it's turned off by default,... your linux client is probably using encryption,... or the other way around,... check your xp system for the type of authentication | 11:59 |
| terminhell | i might be able too | 11:59 |
| ociugi | <collabra> ok tnx | 11:59 |

| shreymech | how to control the audio of different applications in ubuntu just like vista.. plzzz help me | 12:03 |
| Akos | shreymech: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 12:03 |
| docmax | hello, what is the difference btw. manual and non-manual installations in synaptic? | 12:03 |
| shreymech | Akos: i m using 8.10 | 12:04 |
| terminhell | Akos: sorry, in the middle of recompiling kernel :p slowing me down | 12:04 |
| rww | docmax: automatically-installed (non-manual) packages are marked for automatic removal when nothing depends on them. | 12:04 |

| Buxnaman | i cant install .run file error = Verifying archive integrity...tail: cannot open `+6' for reading: No such file or directory | 12:05 |
| shreymech | Akos: but i don't think that this thing is available in newer versions.. my friends r using 9.10 | 12:05 |
| Akos | shreymech: I believe ubuntu 8.10 doesn't have that feature, you'd be requiered to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 | 12:05 |
| rww | docmax: the idea is that if you install a package that depends on a bunch of other packages, the one you actually want is marked as manually installed, the depends are marked automatic, and then they all go away tidily if you decide to remove the package you originally installed. | 12:06 |
| shreymech | Akos: but i don't think that this thing is available in newer versions.. my friends r using 9.10 | 12:06 |
| Akos | shreymech: no need to re-post, I can see your lines (: In the latest version of ubuntu, Ubuntu 9.10, this feature is available under the Sounds options | 12:06 |
| rww | shreymech: in 9.10, right-click the volume control applet, click Sound Preferences, click the Applications tab. Akos and shreymech are correct, it's a new feature. | 12:06 |
| rww | shreymech: wait, I fail at reading. Akos is correct ** | 12:07 |

| shreymech | :( | 12:09 |
| rww | shreymech: Nope. 9.10 uses a newer version of Pulseaudio that supports it; 8.10 doesn't have that version, since major package updates don't happen after release. | 12:09 |
| rww | shreymech: well, you'll have to upgrade at some point. 8.10 is only supported until April... | 12:10 |

| collabra | jingfeng: add friends to what program? | 12:15 |

| duncan-nz | terminhell, if you can use cli why use anything else? ;-) | 12:16 |
| actionparsnip | Csaba: its a terminal command | 12:17 |

| Pici | erikvold: If you need to use sudo for long periods of time, use sudo -i, and you'll get a root prompt. | 13:03 |
| erikvold | and git clone | 13:03 |
| Pici | erikvold: So, run its installer (or whatever) with sudo. | 13:04 |
| Johnny1 | Whenever I plug in one of my usb devices, It doesn't show up. Please help me! | 13:04 |
| erikvold | when I sudo tho I think that the root's rsa key is being used which is missing it up | 13:04 |
| xover | Quan-Time: cheers | 13:04 |
| erikvold | because the root's home directory is used instead of my user's | 13:04 |
| Pici | erikvold: sudo -i will use root's environment | 13:05 |
| Pici | erikvold: sudo -s will use your user's environment | 13:05 |
| archboxman | erikvold: you could add your self to the root group... | 13:05 |
| archboxman | erikvold: or us su instead of sudo | 13:06 |

| indus | Ayla, only mouse doesnt work or system freezes? | 13:39 |
| Ayla | archboxman: and the mouse works perfectly | 13:39 |
| indus | Ayla, always when you plug in something , do a dmesg | tail | 13:39 |
| rev087 | Both my Ctrl keys are not working in Ubuntu Karmic, has anyone experienced that before? | 13:39 |
| nOStahl | there we go ty guys | 13:39 |

| Ayla | indus: it won't be recognized, ie. dmesg tells absolutely nothing when I plug something on USB | 13:40 |
| indus | Ayla, what device u plug? can you do it now and check dmesg | 13:40 |
| Ayla | archboxman: no | 13:40 |

| Geekpirat | ikonia: I tried this. Someway wrong I guess. I will try it once more. Thx | 13:52 |
| indus | Ayla, i have some advice now, go to #ubuntu-bugs and someone will help out , but first please please file a lauchpad bug or subscribe to existing one | 13:53 |
| Geekpirat | th0r: Thx. Will try that too. | 13:53 |
| indus | Ayla, file with ubuntu-bug -p linux | 13:53 |
| Ayla | indus: I'm not sure my mouse have a FTDI chip | 13:53 |
| th0r | Geekpirat, even when I configure cron manually I use a text file and then load it with crontab....easier to maintain | 13:53 |
| Ayla | indus: I tried a lsusb, and a new zombie is born x_x | 13:53 |
| ascheel | problem regarding mouse-clicking in Karmic 9.10, multiple PCs. My laptop was an upgrade 9.04 to 9.10. My desktop was a fresh 9.10 installation. Both PCs, I frequently have a problem where my clicks register in the wrong window. If I try and resize, maximize, minimize, close, or drag the title bar, another window (usually the one I was just previously using) is affected instead and sometimes moves to the location of my mouse. Anybody else seen t | 13:54 |
| aaronfc | Hello! :) I boutght a new Hard Disk (SATA). I installed it and I checked reading velocity with "hdparm -t /dev/sdb" ... It shows 82Mb/s ... ¿Is it normal ? :S !! :) Thanks in advance | 13:54 |
| indus | Ayla, forget the mouse,you will find some really good folks at that channel , i solved my problem in 1 day after asking here for a year :) | 13:54 |
| indus | i mean tech guys | 13:54 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: what speed is the drive? | 13:54 |
| ikonia | aaronfc: depends on the hardware support and the drives abilities | 13:54 |
| indus | Ayla, sorry channel is #ubuntu-kernel | 13:54 |
| indus | Ayla, not bugs | 13:54 |
| Ayla | indus: okay got it | 13:54 |
| Geekpirat | th0r: Where can I find a reference to let crontab load the text file. Did I overlooked it in the man pages?! | 13:55 |
| aaronfc | how can I know this info ? | 13:55 |
| indus | Ayla, because they are working on the kernel , they can sure help just be polite :) | 13:55 |

| aaronfc | I feel its slowl as the old one I have, and I think both should be faster | 13:56 |

| aaronfc | I feel Ubuntu 9.10 slow and I think it might be something wrong with hd | 13:57 |
| ikonia | aaronfc: I doubt that very much unless you are doing heavy reads and writes | 13:57 |
| M3TVF | anyone recommend a Software Defined Radio program for Ubuntu | 13:57 |
| ikonia | aaronfc: what makes you think it's the hard disk ? | 13:57 |
| indus | Ayla, i told you , file bug report first | 13:57 |
| Ayla | indus: yep | 13:58 |
| ascheel | M3TVF: software defined radio station? Try Amarok. It can play last.fm and a few others | 13:58 |
| aaronfc | *-) ... it's a feeling :P | 13:58 |
| indus | Ayla, and good luck :) | 13:58 |
| M3TVF | many thanks asheel | 13:58 |
| ikonia | aaronfc: a feeling is not an aceptable debugging method | 13:58 |
| aaronfc | I googled a while and I see people getting 1000-3000Mb/s of reading, and I get only 80MB... I think it is problematic | 13:58 |

| archboxman | M3TVF: are you a Ham Radio Operator??? | 14:00 |

| JavaOops | ascheel been doint irc of years and run a server inside my company | 14:00 |
| M3TVF | Yes I am | 14:00 |
| aaronfc | I used "hdparm -t /dev/sdb" | 14:01 |
| archboxman | M3TVF: Thank you for all your hard work Use to be a telecommincations Specialist in the US Coast Guard and we would connect to Ham Operators to call home for christmas thank yuo for offering a great service :) | 14:01 |
| M3TVF | No probs, you are very welcome | 14:02 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: I'm getting 123 MB/sec. Your 80 is a tiny bit slower, but it's not a catastrophy. Any number of factors can be that determining factor | 14:02 |
| aaronfc | ok, then I suppose is normal :) | 14:02 |
| aaronfc | thanks you both (ascheel and ikonia) :) | 14:02 |
| aaronfc | ikonia++ | 14:02 |
| ascheel | on my other desktop, I'm getting 61.11 MB/sec. That actually DOES bother me especially since they're identical hard drives. :) | 14:03 |
| aaronfc | ok, ok :) I'm now more relaxed :P | 14:03 |

| eddym | hi guys trying to use a printer | 14:04 |
| archboxman | got to run have fun :) | 14:04 |
| eddym | on a windows xp how can i do this? | 14:04 |
| M3TVF | 73's | 14:04 |
| aaronfc | can you help me a little more ? :P I dont know how to organise my space in partitions | 14:04 |
| eddym | on the printers tab there is nothing there | 14:04 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: what do you mean? | 14:04 |
| valie | ??? | 14:05 |
| aaronfc | I mean, if I make partition for / and /home in different hard disks, it will be slower than if I make both in the same hard disk ? | 14:05 |
| ascheel | eddym: this isn't the windows chat, sorry. | 14:05 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: no they wont' be slower. If anything, it'll be faster. | 14:05 |
| aaronfc | I have an old 200Gb and a new 500Gb, and I don't know how to organise data (I've WinXP and Ubuntu) | 14:05 |
| === andyeb--away is now known as andyeb-- | ||
| aaronfc | faster if I put it in different ? | 14:05 |
| M3TVF | Easy, dump the XP | 14:06 |
| aaronfc | jajaja | 14:06 |
| eddym | let me rephrase what i said ... im using my ubuntu laptop and my other computer is windows xp with a printer (shared printer) how can i use my ubuntu laptop to print | 14:06 |
| acura | Old data goes to old disk and new data goes to new disk ;) | 14:06 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: yes provided the data you use is on another drive and the primary OS is on the first one. | 14:06 |
| eddym | acura are phat cards | 14:06 |
| ascheel | eddym: go to printers, click add a printer, see if it recognizes your printer right off the bat | 14:06 |
| eddym | ascheel, says no | 14:07 |
| aaronfc | ok, then what its better is that I make SO partitions (for windowsXP and ubuntu in first drive) and other data (like /home) in the second one :) ... ¿ what about swap ? | 14:07 |
| aaronfc | (sorry my bad english, im spanish :$) | 14:07 |
| ascheel | eddym: that was one of the biggest things that impressed me with Ubuntu. At work, I immediately list about 20 printers to choose from. Won't find that in Windows. | 14:07 |
| eddym | ascheel, maybe i need to reboot the pc and laptop | 14:08 |
| rev087 | Both my Ctrl keys are not working in Ubuntu Karmic, has anyone ever experienced that issue? | 14:08 |
| ascheel | eddym: this is linux. You don't need to reboot. | 14:08 |
| ascheel | eddym: sorry, I don't know how to access the printer over a Windows share, never done it. I'm sure it's easily done, I just don't know how | 14:08 |
| rev087 | I've used the keyboard layout options to use Caps Lock as a Ctrl...but it is annoying nonetheless | 14:08 |
| aaronfc | ascheel: did you read me ? :) | 14:09 |
| ascheel | eddym: go into the printer set up, add a printer, then at the bottom choose "Windows printer via SAMBA" | 14:09 |
| ascheel | aaronfc: no I didn't. what did you say? | 14:09 |
| aaronfc | ascheel: ok, then what its better is that I make SO partitions (for windowsXP and ubuntu in first drive) and other data (like /home) in the second one :) ... ¿ what about swap ? (Sorry my bad english im spanish) | 14:09 |

| sirMajid | salvachn, and kdevelop keeps on saying: "Config:: Impossible to open the file [./cmp.conf]" | 14:17 |

| salvachn | sirMajid: I'll boot kde n give it a try | 14:18 |
| salvachn | change permissions maybe? | 14:18 |
| sirMajid | salvachn, I have set the permission to 777, still no luck | 14:18 |

| haseebh2O | meh even i needed help | 14:23 |
| haseebh2O | no reply yet :( | 14:23 |
| sebsebseb | haseebh2O: with what? | 14:24 |
| JavaOops | Adnan what is your question? | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | im getting lags on ubuntu remix | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | sebsebseb: | 14:24 |
| Adnan | OK ...... i am not able to ping or browse my network via Name when i assign Manual IP to my network card (eth0) while on DHCP it is working fine. i added DNS address in /etc/resolv.conf file also but not working..please help me | 14:24 |
| sebsebseb | haseebh2O: when? | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | i have 512mb graphics and 4gb ram | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | from the beginning | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | everything works | 14:24 |
| haseebh2O | except those lags | 14:25 |
| Akos | uh LOL | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: and you installed the proper drivers for your video card? | 14:25 |
| haseebh2O | thats what i cant find | 14:25 |
| haseebh2O | its nvidia 9600M GT | 14:25 |
| Adnan | someone please respond to my answer | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | Adnan: i always edit my /etc/hosts to have teh proper name/ip mapping. saves a lot of hassles. | 14:25 |
| haseebh2O | i went to ubuntu software update typed nvidia and it told me to insert my ubuntu cd | 14:25 |
| haseebh2O | when i tried downloading the drivers | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: use the hardware-driver tool from the menus? | 14:26 |
| Izinucs | Adnan: I had this issue the other day.. when using network manager to change from dhcp to static I wouldn't be connected and couldn't ping.. I found I had to reboot, then switching from dhcp to static would actually work | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: also use synaptic to remove the cdrom as a 'source' | 14:26 |
| Adnan | i tried reboot many times | 14:26 |
| Izinucs | Adnan: ifup & ifdown didn't help .. sudo services networking restart didn't help.. rebooting helped | 14:26 |
| haseebh2O | Dr_Willis: let me see | 14:27 |
| YezYez | I have a Ubuntu Server 9.10 box with 2 NIC and I would like to make it a basic router, can anyone point me to a good guide? | 14:27 |
| Adnan | already reboot system many times | 14:27 |
| haseebh2O | Dr_Willis: i got 2 updates | 14:27 |
| Dr_Willis | !ics | YezYez | 14:27 |
| haseebh2O | from nvidia | 14:27 |
| ubottu | YezYez: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 14:27 |
| Izinucs | Adnan: then something else is going on.. sorry I thought my suggestion would help | 14:27 |
| haseebh2O | one 175 and other 186 | 14:27 |
| haseebh2O | which one should i be downloading ? | 14:28 |
| Izinucs | !ics | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: the hardware driver tool lets you activate the specic drivers for a given card. It depends on your card. | 14:28 |
| JavaOops | Adnan: did you use the gui to change that from DHCP to static? Myabe you edited something incorrectly. | 14:28 |
| Adnan | hmmm nops thanks for ur time to help me | 14:28 |
| YezYez | Dr_Willis: i have tried that guide...it works fine but only for *one* pc! I would like to share internet with multiple pc's | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: try the one that says reccmended.. or try the newest.. | 14:28 |
| haseebh2O | aaah | 14:28 |
| haseebh2O | k | 14:28 |
| Adnan | first i tried GUI | 14:28 |
| Dr_Willis | YezYez: check out the ip-masquerading howto. | 14:28 |
| jv__ | y a t'il des francais dans la salle svp | 14:28 |
| YezYez | ok ty Dr_Willis | 14:28 |
| mguy | YezYez: Check the configuration of the PC, it should work for 100 | 14:28 |
| haseebh2O | Dr_Willis: how can i remove cd from the source in synaptic manager ? | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | mguy: thats what i was thinking also... but ive not done ics in ages | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | YezYez: the guide should work with as many pc's as there are in the lan | 14:29 |
| YezYez | mguy: the configuration is fine i think...al i have to do is enter the ubuntu box' ip as default gateway in the other pc's? | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | haseebh2O: using the repository manager feature. or it has its own icon in the admin menu | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | !repo | haseebh2O | 14:29 |
| ubottu | haseebh2O: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 14:29 |
| Adnan | now i m doing it by confiugure of /etc/network/interfaces file | 14:29 |
| mguy | YezYez: If you're using DHCP (And it's properly configured) you will save yourself a lot of work | 14:30 |
| Toneloc | . | 14:30 |
| ehlim | 小强 | 14:30 |
| YezYez | mguy: i cannot use dhcp, because the other pc's are servers that reside on static ip's | 14:30 |
| haseebh2O | ok im downloading | 14:30 |
| haseebh2O | lets see | 14:30 |
| Toneloc | how small can the latest ubuntu be trimmed to? | 14:30 |
| erUSUL | YezYez: yes and fill the dns servers if needed | 14:30 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | 14:30 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 14:30 |
| YezYez | erUSUL: yeah...all i did was enter those 3 lines in iptables, enabled kernel forwarding and configured 1 client and it worked. Soon as the 2nd client got configured there was no ICS anymore... | 14:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Toneloc: i recall some 200mb micro gui edition.. but i dont recall if that was the cd image suize.. or the installed size. | 14:31 |
| genii | !hk | ehlim | 14:31 |
| ubottu | ehlim: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 14:31 |
| mguy | Toneloc: How small are you trying to make it? | 14:32 |
| luisgmarine | I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed but I still can't seem to stream windows video 9 videos, any suggestions? | 14:32 |
| zicada | any known issue lately with slow host resolution ? | 14:32 |
| Toneloc | thank you ubottu , good bot! | 14:32 |
| zicada | its not the network, as windowsboxes are as fast as usual | 14:32 |
| Toneloc | As minimal as possible | 14:33 |
| zicada | on karmic, it seems hosts arent cached | 14:33 |
| zicada | theyre looked up each time a host is accessed | 14:33 |
| mguy | Toneloc: Can you be more specific? If you're going for ultra- small, you might want to look at another distribution | 14:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Toneloc: tiny core linux = 10mb+ whatever you add... :) | 14:33 |
| Toneloc | yes, i will go with DSL | 14:34 |
| Toneloc | Dr_Willis- is that GUI? | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Toneloc: DSL from what ive heard hasent got much development going on with it any more | 14:34 |
| Toneloc | surely not | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Toneloc: yes. it has X in the 10mb | 14:34 |
| Toneloc | cool :) | 14:34 |
| Toneloc | driver support? | 14:34 |
| Dr_Willis | It has drivers.. yes... | 14:35 |

| unimatrix9 | hi there | 14:36 |
| unimatrix9 | is it normal for the sudo su command to give full root acces without asking for the root password? | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: i use 'devede' to genreate a 'dvd iso' with menus - i then burn | 14:36 |
| unimatrix9 | i hope not... | 14:36 |
| unimatrix9 | :) | 14:36 |
| ascheel | unimatrix9: yes if you've just used sudo and entered the password just a short time ago | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | unimatrix9: its best to use sudo -s, not sudo su for JUST that reason | 14:36 |
| unimatrix9 | ah okey | 14:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | 14:36 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 14:36 |
| unimatrix9 | pff | 14:36 |
| Myrtti | unimatrix9: sudo caches the permission for a while. Using sudo su isn't advicable anyway. | 14:37 |
| unimatrix9 | got a bit scared | 14:37 |
| unimatrix9 | hehe | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | sudo has a few min 'grace' period where it disent ask for the password. | 14:37 |
| mguy | Does it make ALL of a users sessions root or just that one | 14:37 |
| Izinucs | Dr_Willis: thanks.. but will it take the already created file and burn it to dvd? | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | mguy: sudo just does it for the current command... | 14:38 |
| ascheel | mguy: only the current terminal session | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Izinucs: you have to have the video files in the proper 'dvd' format for a dvd player to play them.. Devede does that.. and gerneates a dvd ISO file for you to burn along with a dvd menu | 14:38 |
| collabra | just that one user account, though,... right? Other users have to be set up to use sudo? | 14:39 |
| ascheel | collabra: correct | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | collabra: by default just the initial user has sudo rights | 14:40 |
| unimatrix9 | i was learning the ubuntu certified stuff, from linux professional instutite , they have some standard things, and this was one assignment, the strange thing is afcause, we would do it different , as you suggested, maybe using gksu or something like that | 14:40 |
| ascheel | collabra: and only until you close that terminal | 14:40 |
| collabra | ah | 14:40 |
| ascheel | or the grace period lapses | 14:40 |

I try loading up the normal.mod or linux.mod as directed in the ubnutu grub guide but I get the following "error : the symbol 'grub_term_outputs' disabled not found". Any idea how to solve this? | 14:46 |

| gdoteof1 | I have a brand new x86 9.10 desktop install on an old dell laptop (inspiron 1300). The wireless networking doesn't seem to be quite right, it isn't detecting the wireless networks around. Any ideas? | 14:47 |
| Salz` | mguy: after chosing the timezone, i should normaly choose the harddrive to install on. But the installer shows me only an empty list | 14:47 |

| mtux | Hi, Is there any PPA that include Qt 4.6.X for Januty!? | 15:05 |

| mguy | gdoteof1: You may want to search for a newer document, or jsut bite the bullet and buy a new card/usb adapter for wifi | 15:05 |
| Salz` | Shows me the hdd, i created the partition. Rebooted | 15:05 |
| Salz` | restarted the installer | 15:05 |
| mguy | If gparted sees it, your livecd should | 15:05 |

| collabra | brad[]: you get that? | 15:07 |
| mguy | Salz`: Try removing all the partitions, leave the disk empty and then reboot | 15:07 |
| Salz` | mguy: that was the initial configuration | 15:08 |
| mguy | Oh I thought you said it was ext3 | 15:08 |

| MTec007 | mguy: ndiswrapper is all i have to use, my wifi card is pre 2005 and no support without windows drivers.. this is actually the reason im here.... ndiswrapper -l says ssb is alternate driver but its blacklisted. says bcmwl5 is the driver and hardware is present. ubuntu network mgr says no network devices available. blacklisted ssb bcm43xx b43legacy. am i missing something, something i forgot to do? | 15:09 |

| Salz` | toastedmilk: just ubiquity (the live installer) is unable to see | 15:30 |
| toastedmilk | Salz`: eww. yeah, that's over my head | 15:30 |
| xfact | coz_: First I removed the default (185) driver completely including nvidia x server control panel, then I tried to install the downloaded 190.53 version, but after successfully installing when I rebooted, the login screen disappeared and in there the console screen carsur was blinking.... | 15:31 |
| dinobisk | Trek: I know (and I meant Lucid Lynx, not the web browser); I downloaded the nightly build. But was I right in what I was asking? | 15:31 |

| Liquid-Silence | how can I see if my mic is working in ubuntu | 15:31 |
| coz_ | xfact, well first you need to uninstall the current driver via /system/administration/hardware driver ...nothing else needs to be uninstalled | 15:31 |
| Pici | dinobisk: Trek was trying to tell you that Lucid questions belong in #ubuntu+1 | 15:31 |
| Trek | Dinobisk: I fixed my mistake. Regardless, we don't do Lynx support questions, and they should be directed at @ubuntu+1 | 15:31 |
| Trek | #ubuntu+1 * | 15:32 |
| toastedmilk | Liquid-Silence: um..record something? | 15:32 |
| coz_ | xfact, then you want to drop to text console and do the commands I gave before | 15:32 |
| Trek | thanks, Pici | 15:32 |
| collabra | Salz: you mentioned booting from a usb?,... i use a utility called plop that allows me to boot to any device that's connected,...for what it's worth,... http://www.plop.at/ | 15:32 |
| dinobisk | Oh, sorry. | 15:32 |
| llutz | Lungan_: sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser | 15:32 |

| toastedmilk | Liquid-Silence: also, if you have pulseauido, you should be able to see it in the volume control menu | 15:32 |
| toastedmilk | Liquid-Silence: pulse audio, that is. | 15:32 |
| mguy | salz: I still say try a previous version, or something else like Fedora | 15:32 |
| Salz` | mguy: seems to be the only solution, if it works | 15:33 |
| Salz` | mguy: thanks for your time | 15:33 |
| coz_ | be back in a bit | 15:33 |

| mr_steve | Suva, agreed, and I for one use remote X sessions on occasion, which is no longer configurable through the GUI | 16:06 |
| maco | Suva: and i guess someone thought the new theme looked good... | 16:06 |
| pog | mr_steve: I know that fur thunar something is in developpent, so I might not be so easy just to start a service vor outside of gnome. | 16:06 |

| coz_ | Fauntix, ?? did it fix the broken packages | 16:09 |
| sebsebseb | Suva: no KDM and XDM are both in the repo, so you can just install, tell it to use one of them, and that's that. The old GDM is also in the repo, but from what I read it seems it's not as simple as just installing it and using it. Slim is meant to be pretty good as well, but that's not in the repo. | 16:09 |
| hexa- | is there any graphics driver related channel, because i am having issues with 32 bit mesa libs missing on 64 bit ubuntu with radeon driver. | 16:09 |
| Fauntix | @coz_: hold please | 16:10 |

| mr_steve | Aha, thanks Trek | 16:11 |
| sebsebseb | Suva: as far as I know yes, but I am happy enough with the default theme, It's the KDE one by the way, so if you haven't put KDE stuff on before, it will want to install quite a bit. | 16:11 |
| thedancingdeer | how do i do quick drag and drop on any window from gnome-panel. it takes a second's lag before opening the second window! | 16:12 |

| danbhfive | CAPcap: oh yeah, maybe try !usplash or !xsplash, but in a pm to ubottu | 17:27 |
| verb3k | danbhfive, any idea? | 17:27 |
| danbhfive | verb3k: patch -p1 --dry-run < file the --dry-run will do it without any changes. Just try and see if it works | 17:28 |
| CAPcap | danbhfive, i know how to get rid of lxde and kde, if install xfce (xubuntu) do you know how to get rid of that? | 17:28 |

| ubottu | ugur: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. | 17:37 |

| `mOOse` | then when I go to the boot screen I see 2 entries for the win7 partition, and neither of them work - It's like grub doesn't recognise the xp partition at all | 17:47 |

| arooni-mobile | SpaceGhostC2C, whats a wubi install | 17:53 |
| erUSUL | Der: not true; that's maybe what you do. but it is not what everybody does | 17:53 |
| `mOOse` | SpaceGhostC2C, I just scanned the grub directory and there is no menu.lst in there | 17:53 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, if so then why cant a simple reconfiguring a sound card fix a problem | 17:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | arooni-mobile, did you possibly install ubuntu inside windows? | 17:53 |
| Der | erUSUL, if so then why cant a simple reconfiguring a sound card fix a problem | 17:53 |

| === DaZ_ is now known as Guest77488 | ||
| vikashagrawal199 | grub2 has menu.cfg | 17:53 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, because the configuration isn't created in dpkg. That's for your system. What is the real problem mate? | 17:54 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, they are right. Locate menu.cfg and back it up. | 17:54 |
| vikashagrawal199 | so if u want youcan copy the text inside it and create a new doc with same name and edit the file | 17:54 |
| `mOOse` | yes, menu.cfg (which is overwritten by grub and they warn you that any changes you make to it will be overwritten by grub) | 17:54 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, i cant hear any sound any more, but on a live system, i can, so i guess theres a problem on my BoX | 17:54 |
| `mOOse` | ok | 17:54 |
| erUSUL | vikashagrawal199: `mOOse` is grub.cfg but that's a generated file not to be edited. | 17:55 |

| `mOOse` | ok erUSUL thanks | 17:55 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, erUSUL is a pro, you'd to yourself a favor to listen to his sage wisdom :) | 17:56 |

| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, do i need a reboot after purge | 18:00 |
| `mOOse` | SpaceGhostC2C, for this exercise I was going to backup grub.d | 18:00 |
| Trek | Der, you shouldn't need to reboot after purging a package | 18:00 |

| Trek | Der, at least I don't think so | 18:00 |
| vikashagrawal199 | erusul | 18:01 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, i purged now intall again i guess, any reboot needed? | 18:01 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, you should never have to reboot for installing or removing a package. | 18:01 |
| vikashagrawal199 | u can edit it to change boot loading time | 18:01 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, ok then i guess am done but still no sound | 18:01 |
| Trek | Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload | 18:01 |
| Trek | Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload after reinstal * | 18:02 |
| Der | Trek, will do, and come back, brb | 18:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Trek, does he actually need the reboot though? Can't he simply reload gdm and modprobe? | 18:02 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, you can try this. (one sec) | 18:02 |

| `mOOse` | erUSUL, do you think you can help me sort out this grub problem? | 18:04 |
| Trek | SpaceGhostC2C & Der: Is it at all possible we're looking at hardware issues instead of driver issues? | 18:04 |
| `mOOse` | I'd really appreciate it! | 18:04 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Trek, not if the livecd has sound through the sound card and his install doesn't. | 18:05 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i mentioned it was working b4, and it works with windows and ubuntu live cd | 18:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, I'd personally ask erUSUL he's a genius. | 18:05 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i guess that rukes out h/w problems | 18:05 |
| blip- | hi all, i'm upgrading the version of Ubuntu and wanted to delete(rename) all dot directories to start fresh. What's a quick way to loop through all directories beggining with . and renaming them by adding a suffix ? (Bash) thanks | 18:05 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, I still use grub-legacy. | 18:05 |
| `mOOse` | hehe - I think I just did :-) | 18:05 |
| Trek | interesting, never seen that happen, Der & SpaceGhostC2C. It does rule out hardware issues. | 18:06 |
| `mOOse` | this is 1.97 beta4 | 18:06 |
| Santiago | ok, I have a removable disk of about 250Gb, and I've just formatted it in Ext2 format. with Gparted, now the problem is that I'm not able to copy anything into it. Even create a folder is impossible and I don't know the reason | 18:06 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: we confirmed the correct drivers were installed by the livecd? | 18:06 |
| `mOOse` | which is what came with xubuntu | 18:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, that's grub2. | 18:06 |
| `mOOse` | yes | 18:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Trek, they had worked prior to some program he installed, but didn't like and removed. | 18:06 |
| `mOOse` | grub2 | 18:06 |
| frederic185 | Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment? | 18:06 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i didnt quite get ur last Qn | 18:06 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: cp -v file /your/disk | 18:06 |
| `mOOse` | (which has put 2 out now) | 18:06 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, we haven't asked any, we're helping eachother troubleshoot. | 18:07 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, oh ok =P | 18:07 |
| Santiago | blakkheim, I don't understand, you mean use the terminal? | 18:07 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: yes | 18:07 |
| `mOOse` | I'm guessing erUSUL is busy hehe | 18:07 |
| * `mOOse` sighs | 18:07 | |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, he'll be back, he always comes back. That's why we love him :) | 18:08 |
| underdog5004 | I may have fixed the problem. Apparently, cron needs cron.deny in /etc to be empty for everyone to use crontab, but ubuntu doesn't come with any cron.deny file, so it restricts cron use to just root. Not ideal :/ | 18:08 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: have we confirmed that the program he installed didn't mess with which drivers are loaded? this happened to be on several occasiopns, different programs, different system configs, but same basic concept | 18:08 |
| Trek | wow, I can't type... | 18:08 |
| `mOOse` | :))) | 18:08 |
| pweezy | blip-: you'd prob be better off just doing `mkdir blah && mv .* blah/` | 18:08 |
| Santiago | blakkheim, what does it mean? the option -v on the comand cp? | 18:08 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: yes | 18:08 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Trek, He also tried a dpkg-reconfigure on the sucker too. | 18:08 |
| Santiago | because I think it's a permission problem | 18:09 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, thats why my basic qn from the beginning was, how can i reconfigure my sound card, like the drivers, and configs... | 18:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | pweezy, I don't think that's what he needs. He needs to use a combination of globbing and find and rm. | 18:09 |
| nikki_ | hi | 18:09 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: interesting that after a dpkg-reconfigure and purge/reinstall the issue remains... | 18:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, we're trying to figure those things out. Give us another second | 18:09 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !hi | nikki_ | 18:10 |
| ubottu | nikki_: 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! | 18:10 |
| blip- | pweezy: oh right that's much easier :) Do I need to close down all my programs first ? I see things like .qt .mozilla etc.. | 18:10 |
| frederic185 | Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment? | 18:10 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: sorry I send to both, I use the previous-message keymapping on my IRC client | 18:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | blip-, you want to remove all your user settings? | 18:10 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Trek, that's fine with me. | 18:10 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, like when ubuntu 1st installed, how did it configure my sound card, cant i do that proccess again? | 18:11 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: Short of a repair install, i'm not sure if there's a way to get rid of this error... | 18:11 |
| Trek | Der && SpaceGhostC2C: but I don't normally recommend such an attempt, as you lose your data... | 18:11 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, there is a possibility, if you can find the alsa config files, that you can copy them to your hard disk from the livecd. Boot from the livecd. | 18:11 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, ah no pliz, i use this system 4 my develoment work | 18:11 |
| Trek | Der, read spaceghost's message | 18:12 |
| frederic185 | Can someone help me with my network manager problem sometimes when I restart and it connects via my wireless modem when i go to use firefox it says not connected | 18:12 |
| `mOOse` | SpaceGhostC2C, hehe - well that tutorial on the command to back up a dir doesn't work :-) | 18:12 |
| `mOOse` | tar -cvf backup.tar somefolder/ <--- no go | 18:12 |
| mguy | frederic185: Instead of repeating here, try posting on ubuntuforums.org | 18:12 |
| jellow | frederic185: Can you ping google from terminal , "ping www.google.com"? | 18:12 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, my thought is to boot from the livecd, locate all sound related configs and copy them to your hard drive in the proper locations. Backup the files before you move any new ones on. | 18:12 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | `mOOse`, what command did you use exactly? | 18:13 |
| `mOOse` | sudo tar -cvf grub.d_bak.tar grub.d/ <--- that was mine | 18:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | frederic185, you don't have to go anywhere else. | 18:13 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, sounds great but there must be manyy files in many places =S | 18:13 |
| Santiago | blakkheim, doing an example, if I do this: cp -v /home/santiago/blabla.pdf /dev/sdc1 . it's ok? | 18:13 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 18:13 |
| frederic185 | jellow: i can do it now but before I wasn't able to, i was relying on luck by continuously restarting the computer until it eventually worked | 18:13 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: no, you want to copy to the mountpoint, not the raw device | 18:13 |
| underdog5004 | nope, haven't fixed the problem :( | 18:13 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | frederic185, it's possible that your router or gateway isn't connected to the internet. Not sure. | 18:13 |
| blip- | SpaceGhostC2C: hmm maybe not all but i'll be doing an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and thought it was a safe move | 18:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, morning fella. | 18:14 |
| frederic185 | SpaceGhostC2C: it's a 3g wireless modem | 18:14 |
| armence | hello all, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy using netboot on my laptop and the update manager is telling me I am up to date which is obviously a lie... How can I fix that? | 18:14 |
| blip- | SpaceGhostC2C: I mean a good idea to delete them and recreate | 18:14 |
| `mOOse` | oooo!!! I was IN the dir - I had to back out one dir to /etc/ | 18:14 |
| `mOOse` | doh | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C, 6:15pm morning ;) | 18:14 |
| blakkheim | armence: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade | 18:14 |
| Santiago | blakkheim, I don't understand | 18:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | blip-, everything should be good from the upgrade, no need to remove any home folder files. | 18:14 |
| jellow | frederic185: Not a fix but next time try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 18:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, that's what I meant. | 18:14 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: /dev/sdc is the actual device, you need to mount it to your filesystem before you can copy stuff to it | 18:14 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, do yo know much about sound drivers and configs of the like and such? | 18:15 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test | 18:15 |
| frederic185 | jellow: thanks i'll write it down | 18:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | blakkheim, you actually need to mount the partition, not the whole device :) | 18:15 |
| pweezy | does anyone know why fglrx would give me a flashing tty7 instead of launching X on startup? | 18:15 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, there must be many files in many places =S how do i find them all? | 18:15 |
| blakkheim | SpaceGhostC2C: see my previous message | 18:15 |
| blip- | SpaceGhostC2C: ah ok. I guess i'll just go ahead and upgrade | 18:15 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, not quite sure mate. | 18:15 |
| blip- | thanks SpaceGhostC2C | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C, zero. I have never had to mess with sound. always worked 100% OOTB | 18:15 |
| TomV_415 | I've lost many hours trying to upgrade my dual boot laptop to a larger hard drive -- I think I'm close to getting it working, but I could use some help. I've detailed the situation in the following pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0 | 18:15 |
| armence | Also, I am on a relatively old laptop using GNOME... I heard XFCE is more lightweight... Should I expect a significant performance improvement if I switched? Would I loose much functionality? | 18:16 |
| Santiago | so blakkheim , it's /media/disk | 18:16 |
| Santiago | ? | 18:16 |
| TomV_415 | any help would be much appreciated | 18:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | blakkheim, I see now. | 18:16 |
| mguy | armence: No, and no | 18:16 |
| blakkheim | Santiago: that is a valid mount point, yes | 18:16 |
| Arabus | hey, I want to install a bootable ubuntu live image on a harddrive so i can then attach the harddrive to a different computer - is there a way to do that and if, how? | 18:16 |
| Der | hmmn, still leaves my conclusio ryt about ubuntu, i hate this situation...=[ | 18:16 |
| vikashagrawal199 | what is wireshark???? | 18:16 |
| armence | mguy: thanks | 18:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, we're in the same boat. | 18:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | !wireshark | 18:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ubottu has no idea, just like me. | 18:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Santiago,to write to a partition you must first mount it, you cannot put data onto raw partitions like /dev/sdc1 etc etc | 18:16 |
| pweezy | wireshark is a wireless sniffing app | 18:16 |
| pweezy | erm s/wireless/network | 18:16 |
| jellow | frederic185: Make sure it not problems with your I.S.P , You said was only wifi which had problems? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C,I don't buy creative garbage, zero issues :D | 18:16 |
| mguy | Arabus: You can do it with a USB stick it should be the same for a USB hard drive. You will want to create a persistant file that you can save your data in | 18:16 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, you can too, it's just not a safe practice :) | 18:17 |
| blakkheim | !info wireshark > vikashagrawal199 | 18:17 |
| mguy | armence: How old is your laptop? | 18:17 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, good point. | 18:17 |
| blakkheim | guess that doesn't work | 18:17 |
| === eaglewatch is now known as EagleWatch | ||
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C,i prefer to advise users on safe practices ;) | 18:17 |
| mguy | armence: Better question what CPU, MHz, RAM, and graphics card | 18:17 |
| frederic185 | jellow: no it's not a problem with the isp or the modem it's a problem with ubuntu not seeing the internet connection on the modem | 18:17 |
| Arabus | mguy problem is following, i can not boot from usb - the computer will only boot from its hard drive - so i have to use the hard drive as boot device | 18:17 |
| Santiago | yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted | 18:17 |
| terkel | Hmm.. how do I fix this error? http://paste-it.net/private/d4cc0b2/ <- raiddevice 1 is removed? :s | 18:18 |
| Der | what do i do my audio is totally messed up, i need it to work again..... | 18:18 |
| Der | ? | 18:18 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I guess that's sound advice :) | 18:18 |
| frederic185 | jellow: i just don't know how to say hey here is my internet connection ubuntu use it | 18:18 |

| vikashagrawal199 | plz blakkhein info on wireshark | 18:18 |
| ActionParsnip | frederic185, route is useful, not sure on the syntax though | 18:18 |
| bastidrazor | phoenixz: checkinstall | 18:18 |

| frederic185 | ActionParsnip: should I look at the man pages for it next time it happens perhaps? | 18:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | vikashagrawal199, you can, however try a reverse ssh tunnel. | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | armence, sudo lshw -C display will tell you | 18:19 |
| Der | SpaceGhostC2C, my opinion ubuntu as desktop shudnt exist, as a server is amazing but thats IT | 18:19 |
| bodacydo | Is anyone from India? I need help to understand a sentence. Please help. :) | 18:19 |
| haxori | witam | 18:19 |
| mguy | armence: Probably intel graphics. That shouldn't be too bad of a setup. They do make smaller and lighter linux distributions. What functionality do you require? | 18:19 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, thank goodness you're not the SADFL then, huh? | 18:19 |
| blakkheim | Der: just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it shouldn't exist | 18:20 |
| cartagena34 | alguien de españa | 18:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | bodacydo, you can pm me. I have a friend who can translate. | 18:20 |
| blakkheim | !es | cartagena34 | 18:20 |
| Arabus | mguy actually I do not know - but I would have to boot up to grub then i.e. at leas have grub installed on the hard drive | 18:20 |
| ubottu | cartagena34: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 18:20 |
| armence | mguy: Mostly, I do development and I like having workspaces and otherwise, just watching movies, listening to music, standard office stuff | 18:20 |
| vikashagrawal199 | spaceghost i have heard if i do anything with ssh and go wrong i will land in deep trouble | 18:20 |
| cartagena34 | oks | 18:20 |
| TomV_415 | Der:What desktop do you prefer then? | 18:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | vikashagrawal199, who from? Who said this? | 18:20 |
| armence | mguy It's a 33Mhz Intel Graphics card | 18:20 |
| Der | blakkheim, well iits not my only opinion, no one i've seen ever using ubuntu, that cud have a problem solved without reinstalling, even ppl, who buy support | 18:20 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | TomV_415, I prefer LXDE myself :) | 18:21 |
| mguy | You could try it, I have it running on a Pentium III 1GHz, it's a little pokey but it's better than GNOME. You might want to try Fluxbox or like I said something like ArchLinux or DSL | 18:21 |
| vikashagrawal199 | my friends there is some sh key like dat | 18:21 |
| armence | mguy: oh... OK, thanks | 18:21 |
| vikashagrawal199 | main hun india se | 18:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, well, I've not reinstalled ubuntu in about 3 years, same time as my lfs distro. I've fixed every error that comes my way. | 18:21 |
| blakkheim | Der: cool story bro | 18:21 |
| haxori | i need help | 18:21 |
| haxori | diod cam | 18:21 |
| vikashagrawal199 | puchlo agar kuch puchna hai | 18:21 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | vikashagrawal199, as long as you have the sshclient on the server you can do it. | 18:21 |
| Santiago | ActionParsnip, yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted | 18:22 |
| vikashagrawal199 | how????????? | 18:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | blakkheim, that wasn't very nice, bro. | 18:22 |
| vikashagrawal199 | please help | 18:22 |
| `mOOse` | I have gotten driven-by | 18:22 |
| TomV_415 | I'm dealing with a bit of a night mare, trying to get linux to boot on my new drive. | 18:22 |
| vikashagrawal199 | ??? | 18:22 |
| Der | TomV_415, i think macs just deserve to dominate the market | 18:22 |
| blakkheim | !please | vikashagrawal199 | 18:22 |
| ubottu | vikashagrawal199: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Santiago, use beter mount options in fstab or command line when you mount it. I'm guessing its an ntfs partition | 18:22 |
| armence | OK, back to my original problem, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and it is lying telling me it's up to date, aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade just repeated the lie... | 18:22 |
| Der | TomV_415, windows = garbage, ubuntu needs work | 18:22 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | vikashagrawal199, does the server have an ssh client on it? | 18:22 |
| blakkheim | armence: you are up to date then | 18:23 |
| TomV_415 | Der: Yes, Macs are good. I have been using ubuntu day to day for 6 months now, and love it. | 18:23 |
| Shogoot | So yeah. Remote desktop is ok. but im looking for a way to connect to my home computer remotely and without any more burocrasy access its harddrives and what not. What does application are im looking for? | 18:23 |
| vikashagrawal199 | i am new to irc so couldnt follow | 18:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Der, wouldn't you argue that all need work? Also offtopic mates. | 18:23 |
| bodacydo | SpaceGhostC2C, thanks, I pm'd you. | 18:23 |
| Santiago | ActionParsnip, mmm but it have an unique partition in ext2, I've just done it with gparted | 18:23 |
| armence | blakkheim: But I'm obviously not, the look and feel is clearly not Ubuntu 9.10 | 18:23 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | vikashagrawal199, you need ssh client on server. | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Shogoot, for remote file access use ssh | 18:23 |
| blakkheim | armence: oh you want to upgrade your ubuntu version? | 18:23 |
| Izinucs | armence: not sure I understand you.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. and that last bit *will not* take you to the next release.. | 18:23 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip im gonna look ssh up | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Santiago, then add an entry in fstab so users have full access to it | 18:23 |
| Der | TomV_415, am talking only desktops not servers, and yes SpaceGhostC2C i guess they all need work, but macs need the least most | 18:24 |
| vikashagrawal199 | i it in my systes ir synaptic | 18:24 |
| jellow | frederic185: Run sudo lshw -C network | 18:24 |
| Shogoot | ActionParsnip any guide you already know of you can trow at me? | 18:24 |
| armence | blakkheim: Well, yes... I assume that the new version has some benefits | 18:24 |
| jellow | frederic185: and post output to pastebin | 18:24 |
| sipior | Der: this is a support channel. time to move on. | 18:24 |
| jackhorner | Hi all, ive tried to upgrade a server to lucid today and, well, ive big troubles (i was expecting them), biggest one is mountall not working because its not able to contact udev via socked. Udevd is not running if i try to start it by hand it says "error initializing netlink socket" | 18:24 |
| jackhorner | Any idea? | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Shogoot, it uses encryption, you can also launch x based apps over it too to have the app running on the server but displayed on the client, no need for remote desktop then :) | 18:24 |
| pdg1 | so here's a funky issue. I had Ubuntu. everything worked good but it was running too slowly. changed to Xubuntu with xfce. my SATA hdd has disappeared. what has happened? | 18:24 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Hey, we need to get on topic. If you all want to chat about best OS, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Shogoot, run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server and you will have all you need | 18:25 |
| Der | sipior, well support me then....soundcard dosent work anymore, can you help me | 18:25 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | I'd love to chat about it there. | 18:25 |
| Izinucs | pdg1: you mean the icon on the desktop? | 18:25 |
| sipior | Der: only if you plan on being more specific. | 18:25 |
| Shogoot | thanks ActionParsnip. | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pdg1, run: mount it will tell you what is mounted where | 18:25 |
| pdg1 | Izinucs, no. the drive can't even be found by gparted. I didn't touch any of the hardware when i reinstalled it | 18:25 |
| Santiago | ok i will try ActionParsnip , just a question.. I want to use this disk to do backups so if I need to do this work with fstab on all my systems it's not so convenient, do you suggest me to use another file system like fat32? is this a thing tha happened with ext2? | 18:25 |
| armence | Izinucs: Yes, that is correct | 18:25 |
| Der | sipior, after i installed userful multiplier [hated it] uninstalled it, i dont hear audio any more | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | pdg1, if its not mounted, mount it | 18:25 |
| armence | Izinucs: Is it not supposed to do so? | 18:26 |
| pdg1 | is it pastbinit that i can apt-get? | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Santiago, fat32 isnt robust to random power offs, ntfs is much sturdier | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !info pastebinit | pdg1 | 18:26 |
| ubottu | pdg1: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.2-1 (karmic), package size 22 kB, installed size 344 kB | 18:26 |
| Der | sipior, it would be great if i can fully reconfigure every sound h/w aspect, while am running my desktop, instead of making a new install | 18:26 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, but it also has read write across all major platforms, amirite? | 18:26 |
| sipior | Der: what sort of card? also, have you contacted the makers of the software that you installed? | 18:27 |
| armence | blakkheim: How can I go to the next release? Well, the latest release actually? | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C,yes but so can ntfs as well as ext2/3/4 | 18:27 |
| Santiago | ActionParsnip, but ntfs is proprietary.. and I use only GNU/Linux systems, ubuntu jaunty, and ArchLinux | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Santiago,then use ext4 or ext2 if its a flash based storage | 18:27 |
| === ares_ is now known as Guest81642 | ||
| === EagleWatch is now known as eaglewatch | ||
| Der | sipior, i didnt contact them, its a problem on ubuntu, my system, i just need audio, reconfigured figured this is the ""ryt place"" | 18:27 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, wait, native support for ext fs's? | 18:27 |
| blakkheim | armence: if you're on 8.04 it would be faster just to reinstall with the latest, you can't skip versions. OR you can wait until lucid comes out in april and update directory to it | 18:28 |
| Izinucs | armence: you mean take you to the next release by using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? no.. it won't take you to the next release.. if you want to do that go to System>Admin>Upgrade manager and in there you'll see a button to upgrade to the next release.. however if you're on 8.04 you may want to wait until April of this year when 10.04 is released.. You'll be able to upgrade directly to that instead of one release at a time. | 18:28 |
| sipior | Der: and did sound work after you installed multiplier? | 18:28 |
| pdg1 | ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f45bf3a0 | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | SpaceGhostC2C, sure, you just need better options when its mounted | 18:28 |
| Santiago | ok thanks for the advice ActionParsnip | 18:28 |
| Der | sipior, yes it worked, but after i rebooted, it stopped | 18:28 |
| sipior | Der: "userful multiplier" is not a supported ubuntu package, to my knowledge. again, what type of card? | 18:28 |
| zak | i have a 250GB HDD, and i am going to replace by a 750 GB HDD , shall i made some change in fstab ?howt o mount it ? | 18:29 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | ActionParsnip, I was talking cross-platform. If I work in a mac/windows/linux environment where I can't tweak much, wouldn't fat32 be the best choice? possibly ntfs. | 18:29 |

| ZykoticK9 | jackhorner, you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 - on my desktop Lucid I certainly have "udevd --daemon" running, my quick search of Launchpad didn't turn anything up for you (i might have missed something though). FYI Lucid Alpha2 probably only suitable for testing on a server right now. Best of luck. | 18:32 |

| aaronfc | SpaceGhostC2C, yes since I installed this new version. But WinXP and old Kubuntu and ubuntu versions, worked well. Now when I open for example 2 folders, it takes a while to open them :S | 18:45 |
| `mOOse` | erUSUL, I have XP on C: and Win7 on G: and Xubuntu on a flashdrive usb....when I was installing Xubuntu Grub2 complained that I was trying to install the bootloader to a directory and not an MBR....but it did it.

| ubottu | Anarchy7: 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 | 20:48 |

| buckfast | danbhfive: sure is, when i check windows 7 in boot loader menu, it doesnt boot either | 21:12 |

| hyperstream | cllaudyu, the cd is corrupt most likely, from burning at a speed too fast (auto) | 21:13 |
| cllaudyu | il try burning a slower speed | 21:13 |
| knxville | cllaudyu, well.. the fast burning process might have ruined some data on the disc.. reburn it at slow speed ;) | 21:13 |

| CyberaX2195 | it depends if u like torrents or not, i personally don't | 21:26 |
| jamesd2 | swapfiles are more complicated to implement, because the kernel has to read/write the file within a filesystem instead of using a raw partition | 21:26 |

| jrib | ivan__: you don't install tar.gz on ubuntu | 21:34 |

| morphix | mamooli: gftp is nice | 21:44 |
| m0ar | Where is the standard backgrounds stored? | 21:44 |
| marcy | ivan__ it says "read me", would be impolite to it, if you didn't ;) | 21:44 |
| LasBuntu | Which is the best CD image filetype for ubuntu, ccd/mds/cue? | 21:45 |
| morphix | m0ar: /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 21:45 |

| ivan__ | Im just reading INSTALL file and it says how to compile now I will try to do it by my own | 21:45 |
| ivan__ | :D | 21:45 |
| morphix | m0ar: but if you just want to set a custom background, you put it anywhere and right click desktop then 'change background' | 21:45 |
| marcy | ivan__ fine :) | 21:46 |
| m0ar | morphix: Yeah, I know that. Tho, something randomly placed the standard background and I'm unable to change it. Any ideas? | 21:46 |

| ash__ | hey, trying to mount a micro sdcard (fat32 formatted) via a usb adapter. It's mounting read only. Is there any way to get it to mount RW ever time I plug it in? Thanks | 21:47 |
| hyperstream | !mount | ash__ | 21:47 |
| ubottu | ash__: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 21:47 |
| goose | hyperstream: very little. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like watchdog restarts the whole system, if your program goes down. I'd prefer to avoid that. Some people have also mentioned cron, but imo, that'd be bad on the processor to set a cron job for every minute to relaunch the PID | 21:48 |

| rahduke | quick question, i build a mini htpc for a buddy. he hooked it up in his house, everything works great... however every time he starts the box it asks for his keyring password before connecting to wifi. How can I set it so it never prompts for a keyring when connecting to wifi?? | 21:54 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, i dont think you cant, its apart of ubuntu's security | 21:55 |
| mEck0 | Hi! I have problems with a Asus EEE901 that can't find and connect a hidden wpa2 encrypted WLAN. Have googled a bit and found that many of these netbooks with the rt2860sta chip has this problem. Someone who has a solution? | 21:55 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: i believe there should be a checkbox in that popup to ask you to automatically log in the keychain on startup | 21:55 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: i see one on my machine with 9.10 when i start it up | 21:55 |
| jrib | goose: anyway that's what I do when I listen to a radio station with mplayer that likes to disconnect me randomly. When one mplayer process exits (because I got disconnected) the loop progresses and then starts a new mplayer | 21:55 |
| rahduke | i can't tell cuz im not there, but i know my computer doesnt ask for the keyring... and when the box was running in my house it never asked for the keyring | 21:55 |
| hyperstream | mEck0, unhide the hidden router, if its wpa2 encrypted and its a strong password, no one is getting into it. | 21:56 |
| goose | jrib: could you pastebin your script for me to look at? I've never written bash before, so this is an adventure for me | 21:56 |
| jrib | goose: that's it: while true; do COMMAND; done | 21:56 |
| marcy | ivan__ sudo apt-get install intltool | 21:56 |
| goose | jrib: then run it on cron, screen, or...? | 21:56 |
| hyperstream | rahduke, all my boxes that run wifi ask for it, how ever my ethernet connected boxes do not | 21:57 |
| jrib | goose: wherever you want. Do you understand why it works? | 21:57 |
| rahduke | for whatever reason on my desktop i have an option in preferences for Encryption and Keyrings and I can set it to never prompt me, but on the install i put on his box there is no such option in preferences ( i think the encryption and keyring package was grandfatherd in when i upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10) | 21:57 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: you can look at keyring settings by going to Applications > Accessories > Passwords and Encryption keys | 21:57 |
| goose | jrib: it's an infinite loop, from what I can see. I don't see how it finds out whether or not the program is running or not, but I can kinda see it's "structure" | 21:57 |
| mEck0 | hyperstream: I haven't tried that, but I've read that this problem is driver-related, so I'm not sure if that would solve it. But sure it would be interesting to try | 21:58 |
| m0ar | morphix: Wtf. Gconf tells me that icons are still deactivated, but somehow they are visible | 21:58 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: ah, mistype, didn't see your response | 21:58 |
| rahduke | adalgiso: do u know what package that is? because its not installed by default on his box | 21:58 |
| jrib | goose: try putting a command in there, like mplayer somefile | 21:58 |
| goose | jrib: I should mention though, this program forks itself into the background after launching, which is why I'm worried about it re-launching itself | 21:58 |
| jrib | goose: ah, then this method won't work | 21:58 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: looks like seahorse 2.28.1 | 21:58 |
| goose | ok, so I'm back to a bash script | 21:58 |
| rahduke | adalgiso: thats what the package is called? | 21:58 |
| hyperstream | mEck0, yeah worth a quick shot, to see if its the hidden aspect or something else, i actually set my encryption(s) to wpa to stop annoying no DHCP from the router | 21:59 |
| goose | thanks jrib. I'm gonna read up on bash a little bit, then see what horrible code I can't hack up | 21:59 |
| adalgiso | rahduke: yeah, seahorse is the package, version 2.28.1 is what I have on a fresh 9.10 install | 21:59 |
| mEck0 | hyperstream: okay, thx | 21:59 |

| kaktuskatta | Hi! I'm in need of some help regarding knetworkmanager! I want to be able to log in automaticly to my wifi-network, but in order to do so I have to disable or skip the password request from kwalletmanager some how. Does anyone have a clue? All the forum threads out there seems to be outdated. I'm on Kubuntu Jaunty 64x | 22:25 |
| Zeelot2k | blakkheim: I have no idea what 'check it' means | 22:25 |
| kaktuskatta | I already posted this on #kubuntu, but no response at all | 22:26 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: to use on ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| skynet|PC | yes | 22:26 |
| blakkheim | _Tristan: what you're trying to do (as i understand it) is way more work than it's worth. just redownload them. the files in the packages you installed are scattered all over your filesystem | 22:26 |
| blakkheim | Zeelot2k: open a terminal and run alsamixer | 22:26 |
| unixalot | Currently I have, 2 scripts one for awn and one for gnome-do then in rc.local i have like, sleep 20 /usr/local/bin/awn and /gnomedo | 22:26 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: mirc does not have a linux version. | 22:26 |
| unixalot | which are the scripts | 22:26 |
| skynet|PC | is there any other irc clients i can use? | 22:26 |
| sbela | hi | 22:26 |
| jrib | unixalot: umm, why? | 22:26 |
| Zeelot2k | blakkheim: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory | 22:26 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: you can install Xchat from Synaptic package manager | 22:26 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, just copy contents of /var/cache/apt/archive to somewhere safe | 22:26 |
| unixalot | The problem comes when I run rc.local only gnomedo is launched | 22:26 |
| skynet|PC | i have it alreadt but i want to host bots | 22:26 |
| kaktuskatta | I'd appreciate any ideas that might get me closer to a solution | 22:27 |
| jrib | unixalot: why are you doing this? What do you want to accomplish? | 22:27 |
| unixalot | Because its a hell of a lot faster to boot... with these programs on a sleep | 22:27 |
| lo-ryan | kaktuskatta: for gnome I use wicd to do that, I'm not sure if it'll work on kubuntu | 22:27 |
| unixalot | Reduce's I/O on the pipeline | 22:27 |
| unixalot | basically | 22:27 |
| _Tristan | airtonix: what will that do? | 22:27 |
| jrib | unixalot: you aren't making sense. Do you just want these things to run when your user logs in? | 22:27 |
| m0ar | Can I deactivate titlebars for the terminal? | 22:27 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, give you copies of the deb files you installed with apt-get | 22:27 |
| grobda24 | Any idea why my Vino vnc server would not send back screen updates on a machine of mine ? On another machine of same Ubuntu version it works fine. | 22:27 |
| unixalot | Yes, run when I log in but sleep 20 | 22:27 |
| kaktuskatta | lo-ryan: I'm able to install that program anyway, but is this the only way to bypass the kwalletmanager? | 22:27 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: what kind of bots? | 22:27 |
| jrib | !startup | unixalot | 22:27 |
| ubottu | unixalot: 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 | 22:27 |
| _Tristan | airtonix: so when I do apt-get install something, it won't download it but instead get it from there? | 22:27 |
| jrib | unixalot: don't use rc.local for that | 22:28 |

| unixalot | can you add sleep command in startup applications? withthe command | 22:28 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: search for supybot or eggdrop in Synaptic | 22:28 |
| skynet|PC | oki | 22:28 |
| skynet|PC | thanks idleone | 22:28 |
| lo-ryan | kaktuskatta: I'm not completely sure but when I was doing it in ubuntu gnome, it was the only way for me that I found | 22:28 |
| jrib | unixalot: create a short bash script and put the sleep in there | 22:28 |
| unixalot | I've used rc.local to call scripts before... | 22:28 |
| sbela | is anyone who have this kind of setup ? | 22:28 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, correct, when you are sitting at your new desktop after fresh install, you can simply run dpkg -i ./*.deb in the directory where you copied them to | 22:28 |
| IdleOne | skynet|PC: sure thing | 22:28 |
| jrib | unixalot: that stuff is getting run as root | 22:29 |
| unixalot | Obviously I have 2 short bash scripts with sleep commands in them but how do I call them during boot | 22:29 |
| _Tristan | airtonix: will this also get the deb files for synaptic/ubuntu software center? | 22:29 |
| unixalot | Just threw startup applications?? | 22:29 |
| JoeSomebody | jrib, cant tellyou errror exactly, something about fstab, and swap | 22:29 |
| jrib | unixalot: did you see what ubottu said? | 22:29 |
| unixalot | No.. sorry | 22:29 |
| jrib | !startup > unixalot | 22:29 |
| ubottu | unixalot, please see my private message | 22:29 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, if it requires extra files not already in that list of deb files you backed up , yes | 22:29 |
| JoeSomebody | /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 22:29 |
| _Tristan | ok | 22:30 |

| jrib | unixalot: yes | 22:30 |
| unixalot | !startup | 22:30 |
| 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 | 22:30 |
| unixalot | I'll try to add the scripts to the startup applications menu, never thot of that :P | 22:31 |
| airtonix | _Tristan, yes. unless you used checkinstall or someother deb creation step instead of 'make install' | 22:31 |
| _Tristan | ok | 22:31 |

| sahil | henri:or you can use a virtual windows install | 22:46 |
| corranh | So, I updated from 9.04 to 9.10 last night and now I have no sound, and neither my touchpad nor keyboard work consistantly (they both work on the login screen, the keyboard will work if I use kernel 28-17 insteead of 31-17) Anyone know how to get those things working again? | 22:46 |
| * unixalot will be back | 22:46 | |

| ikonia | robert2: if you ask a question and someone can help, they will | 22:46 |
| henri | well i was reading some forums on getting my internal mic working and it told me i have to recompile my kernel what does that mean and is it easy to do | 22:46 |

| sahil | henri:its not very difficult to do, but ditto to what ikonia said | 22:46 |
| henri | it was with the dell mini 10v | 22:47 |
| JoeSomebody | why cant you read my files and verify the problem that way? is not everythig logged? | 22:47 |
| ikonia | henri: please show me the forum post | 22:47 |

| JoeSomebody | ok ok | 22:48 |
| _Tristan | would it be possible/easy-ish to install ubuntu on a new partition, copy as much as possible from the old partition, and then delete the old partition, expanding the new one to take up the whole drive? | 22:48 |
| Guest17756 | Hello , i can not access my printers connected to a linux machine from Windows machines in the same LAN , how can i do it ? | 22:48 |
| unixalot | Tristan just copy your /home/ folder its a lot easier | 22:48 |
| arand | Dekkzter: It does seem to be non-trivial, from what I can google... There is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360445 But I have no idea of the usefulness/safety of those instructions.. | 22:48 |
| ikonia | henri: what version of ubuntu are you using | 22:49 |
| robert2 | appreciate all the help foks | 22:49 |
| _Tristan | unixalot: my /home/ folder doesn't have a lot of important things | 22:49 |
| unixalot | _Tristan: most of your things will be in your /home folder, this makes what you are trying to do very simple | 22:49 |
| Dekkzter | arand: ok... ill check it | 22:49 |
| robert2 | folks* | 22:49 |
| henri | 9.04 | 22:49 |
| leoxero | x | 22:49 |
| ikonia | henri: the 9.10 release appears to have that fixed, it maybe better to update to the current release | 22:49 |
| unixalot | _Tristan: Once you install ubuntu on your other partition you can just copy everything rite over then. | 22:49 |
| Guest17756 | Hello , i can not access my printers connected to a linux machine from Windows machines in the same LAN , how can i do it ? | 22:50 |

| henri | klappi try restarting | 22:53 |
| JoeSomebody | jrib, well thaat was a waste of time | 22:53 |
| ikonia | klappi: ignore that | 22:53 |

| ikonia | henri: stop giving false information - now | 22:53 |
| unixalot | henri: lol | 22:53 |
| klappi | ikonia: but totem seems to be the app used for html5 video tag so i cant watch videos embeded in websites | 22:53 |
| jrib | JoeSomebody: what was? | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | stiill give same error about fstab and swap and a bunch of cryptic stuff | 22:54 |

| klappi | henri: does not work ^^ | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | UUID and some weird stuff | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | yes | 22:54 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: ok - so show me the error | 22:54 |
| jrib | JoeSomebody: I didn't tell you to do anything. Paraphrasing errors makes it hard for us to help you. | 22:54 |
| JoeSomebody | and how can i show you? | 22:54 |
| Bauldrick | cant get my webcam working in cheese | 22:54 |

| JoeSomebody | its a boot error, how can i show you that? | 22:55 |
| klappi | sorry gives me sound | 22:55 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: you need to make a note of it and shows us | 22:55 |
| jrib | JoeSomebody: write it down and type it up or take a picture... | 22:55 |
| jrib | anyway my guess is you just need to comment the cdrom line to get it to boot, then figure out where your cdrom went later | 22:55 |
| snayth | Is there another good app besides "gedit" that that you could use to open various .txt files in separate windows ? ? Any suggestions ? ? | 22:56 |
| blakkheim | snayth: vi | 22:56 |
| unixalot | snayth: nano | 22:56 |
| Salz` | hi all | 22:56 |
| unixalot | blakkheim: hey can you give me ten second tutorial on vi | 22:56 |
| unixalot | blakkheim: do you use vi or vim? | 22:56 |
| jrib | snayth: what don't you like about gedit? | 22:56 |
| m0ar | VIM* | 22:56 |
| snayth | blakkheim: Thank you ! | 22:56 |
| JoeSomebody | i think i cloned the drive WITH NO RESIZING and just expected everything to be ok like IT SAYS in my acronis true image manual | 22:56 |
| sahil | so when booting with a pci graphics card and it dropping you to busybox, what can i do/ | 22:56 |

| blakkheim | unixalot: no, both | 22:57 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: that won't work | 22:57 |
| snayth | unixalot: Thank you ! | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | and then i changed burner | 22:57 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: moving it to a new drive via a clone won't work due to device id's | 22:57 |
| jrib | JoeSomebody: now you are saying you did more than just swap a cdrom... | 22:57 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: the burner is nothing to do with it | 22:57 |
| m0ar | unixalot: http://www.vi-improved.org/tutorial.php | 22:57 |
| m0ar | unixalot: Yes, it's worth it | 22:57 |
| * jrib hands off to ikonia | 22:57 | |
| henri | Why not just use linux mint? | 22:57 |
| Salz` | Small problem. Creating new SSH-session ends up in "Server refused to allocate pty" | 22:57 |
| unixalot | m0ar: deadly, thanks. | 22:57 |
| jrib | henri: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | at first i said I could not remember, i got too many machines | 22:57 |
| m0ar | unixalot: That tutorial is AWESOMEEEE tbfh :) | 22:57 |
| Salz` | any suggestions, forms and bugtracker hasnt working solution | 22:57 |
| JoeSomebody | apparently i did :) DOH | 22:58 |
| ikonia | henri: what has mint got to do with it | 22:58 |
| snayth | jrib: Basically I can't see where I can open different separate windows of .txt files to compare notes etc. | 22:58 |
| unixalot | m0ar: Yeah well i tried vim a year or 2 ago and it just made me mad lol.. ill give it a go | 22:58 |
| m0ar | unixalot: Also, try the command vimtutor in you terminal | 22:58 |
| JoeSomebody | so now what ? am i toast? | 22:58 |
| henri | isnt mint just ubuntu + better ready to go package | 22:58 |
| ikonia | henri: no | 22:58 |
| henri | how so | 22:58 |
| ikonia | henri: as I said early please don't make wrong suggestions | 22:58 |
| Salz` | btw, this happens after upgrading 8.04 to 8.10 | 22:58 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: ok - it depends on what's on your machine | 22:58 |
| Chlorus | I think Linux from Scratch would be the answer | 22:58 |
| snayth | jrib: Other then that I don't have a problem with it - it works fine. | 22:58 |
| jrib | snayth: ah, instead of tabs? I think there is an option in the File menu, or you can check « man gedit » (I know there is an option, but I don't know it and I don't have gedit installed | 22:58 |
| JoeSomebody | ikonia, xp and karmic | 22:59 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: how important is your install, and how much time is do you want to spend | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Chlorus: please don't make pointless suggestions | 22:59 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: - ~I mean just your linux install, how important is that to you currently | 22:59 |
| unixalot | m0ar: yeah well i have to install vim furst lol.. | 22:59 |
| JoeSomebody | well its important in that i cant put it back without you smart folks | 22:59 |
| jrib | henri: this question is meant for ubuntu support only, if you want to discuss other thingns like how ubuntu compares to mint, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 22:59 |
| unixalot | ikonia: have you used debain or opensuse?? | 22:59 |
| m0ar | unixalot: Yarr | 22:59 |
| klappi | ikonia: i solved my problem by installing mozilla-mplayer :-) | 22:59 |
| henri | Well can someone please explain why i would choose to install ubuntu over a more refined distro like mint? | 22:59 |
| JoeSomebody | it took a few people to get me where i am | 23:00 |
| m0ar | unixalot: Are you new to ubuntu/linu? | 23:00 |
| ikonia | unixalot: why ? | 23:00 |
| jrib | henri: try both and use what you prefer. | 23:00 |
| ikonia | henri: read up on it, see what works foryou | 23:00 |
| ikonia | klappi: well done | 23:00 |
| henri | oh | 23:00 |
| unixalot | klappi: rhythmbox / banshee is tight for music | 23:00 |
| snayth | jrib: When I right click on a text file in does not show any other way to ope another different one. | 23:00 |
| unixalot | ikonia: just wondering if you tried the new opensuse | 23:00 |
| JoeSomebody | i remember some of it like installing programs and setting up samba | 23:00 |
| snayth | *ope | 23:00 |
| jrib | snayth: no right click. Try the File menu in gedit | 23:00 |
| henri | how do you sync a microsoft zune with ubuntu or is that impossible | 23:00 |
| unixalot | m0ar: naaat really | 23:00 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: ok, the reasons I'm asking is, a.) as you're new to linux fixing it will be a long and hard to explain situation, b.) reinstalling will be quicker, but you will lose your data | 23:00 |
| snayth | *open | 23:00 |
| m0ar | unixalot: Okay | 23:00 |
| unixalot | henri: your just full of microsoft | 23:00 |
| JoeSomebody | but i know i dont know everything that was done to this, to redo | 23:00 |
| henri | well | 23:00 |
| henri | u can do ipods on ubuntu | 23:01 |
| henri | why not zunes | 23:01 |
| charles__ | so, i know how to redude the size of fonts for the gnome desktop, but how do i reduce the size of icons? everything on the gnome desktop just looks so clinky and big | 23:01 |
| ikonia | unixalot: yes, but that's not for this topic | 23:01 |
| ikonia | henri: you can | 23:01 |
| unixalot | henri: doesnt zunes sync threw wifi?? | 23:01 |
| m0ar | henri: Mint is Ubuntu with an extra repo. | 23:01 |
| JoeSomebody | well no user data, just packages and configs | 23:01 |
| charles__ | *clunky | 23:01 |
| klappi | henri: because this is the ubuntu channel? | 23:01 |
| henri | how do i synch zune with ubuntu | 23:01 |
| JoeSomebody | less than 20 packages | 23:01 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: in that case it may be quicker to do a new install | 23:01 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: then we can help you re-configure quick | 23:01 |
| unixalot | henri: probably have to emulate the zune software is my guess | 23:01 |
| snayth | jrib: I like a more straight forward approach to open it then having to use 2/3 steps to just open different text files. | 23:02 |
| unixalot | henri: I would be more helpfull if i had a zune but.. ima ipod guy.. well not really just got it for xmas | 23:02 |
| unixalot | snayth: try the cat command for a txt | 23:02 |
| henri | is the proper name gnu/linux or just linux i dont get it | 23:02 |
| JoeSomebody | ikonia, it is too small anyway, i will make bigger partitions, manually, can you suggest sizes and layout for a big hard disk and 2 gb ram? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | henri: that's offtopic for this channel, check the internet for the linux story | 23:02 |
| morph_ | hello | 23:03 |
| unixalot | snayth: or just cat something, it basically displays the contents of a file | 23:03 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: sounds like a good idea to make the most of a re-install | 23:03 |
| henri | h ow do i install ice weasle on ubuntu | 23:03 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: file system really doesn't matter to your ram | 23:03 |
| JoeSomebody | like 20gb root, 2gb swap, 40 gb rest, i am sure that is wrong tho | 23:03 |
| klappi | henri: linux is the kernel linux/gnu the os | 23:03 |
| morph_ | how can i bind a key for keys return? | 23:03 |
| ikonia | henri: same as every other package you've asked about | 23:03 |
| henri | which is | 23:03 |
| unixalot | JoeSomebody: you definitly wont need 2 gigs of swap | 23:03 |
| jrib | snayth: the option you want to pass is apparently --new-window if you want a way to do it with a command: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man1/gedit.1.html . You can create a new Open With option that includes the --new-window if you go to right click -> properties | 23:03 |
| ikonia | henri: use the package manager | 23:03 |
| henri | whats that | 23:03 |
| ikonia | henri: the one you told someone to use earlier - apt-get remember | 23:03 |
| tomatoes7 | anyone listen to good music? | 23:03 |
| ikonia | henri: or synaptic, or software center | 23:03 |
| henri | ok | 23:04 |
| henri | tomatoes i do | 23:04 |
| ikonia | tomatoes7: is this related to ubuntu ? | 23:04 |
| morph_ | i need to configure a key of remote control for bind key enter | 23:04 |
| grobda24 | Has nayone any idea why Vino would not send screen changes to one machine, but it does the other way around. Vino and Ubuntu versions, plus Vino settings are identical according to GConf Editor. | 23:04 |
| === umut is now known as Bethiro | ||
| toastedmilk | henri: lol. or openoffice.org? | 23:04 |
| JoeSomebody | should i let it do an auto thing or manually assign partitions? | 23:04 |
| toastedmilk | I'm getting fglrxinfo and glxinfo errors with Radeon X1900, amd64, nothing in the forums seems to be working, how can I fix this? | 23:04 |
| henri | why doesnt ubuntu come with sample music and pictures like windows and apple/osx (as opposed to linux/gnu lol :) ) do? | 23:04 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: the auto layout will probably be fine unless you want something specific | 23:04 |
| ikonia | henri: it's not windows | 23:04 |
| Chlorus | Yeah, its not functional | 23:05 |
| === the[V]oid_ is now known as the[V]oid | ||
| JoeSomebody | ikonia, layout makes no difference for a newbie? | 23:05 |
| unixalot | henri: dont ask questions, thats just how it is.. | 23:05 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: not really, unless you need something different | 23:05 |
| zvacet | JoeSomebody: if you want separate home partition use manual way | 23:05 |
| infid | does open office work in OS X? | 23:05 |
| trism | grobda24: is compiz enabled on one machine but not the other? | 23:05 |
| VinceD | No, it's not Windows, because Windows doesn't come with an application which is broken by default "Computer Janitor" which removed third party packages because it can't check if "Unsupported" packages are installed by the user or not. :) | 23:05 |
| titof | hello | 23:06 |
| jrib | infid: not really on-topic. It does, but try the openoffice or osx channel instead | 23:06 |
| JoeSomebody | see i dont know pros and cons, so maybe manual just because of that | 23:06 |
| unixalot | infid: open office works in osx, linux, windows | 23:06 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: or trust the auto | 23:06 |
| JoeSomebody | so even in auto, just point it to an empty unallocated part of drive? | 23:07 |
| Chlorus | unless, of course, you need functionality more advanced than a damn text editor, at which point OO falls flat on its ass | 23:07 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: yup | 23:07 |
| JoeSomebody | and it will use all of that part? | 23:07 |
| ikonia | JoeSomebody: it will carve it up as it see's best | 23:07 |
| trism | grobda24: if so I find that I need to disable compiz on the machine I am connecting to for VNC to work properly | 23:07 |
| zvacet | JoeSomebody: separate home will let you reinstall,fresh install without losing your setting and data | 23:07 |

| jolaren | I have two hdd's in my server. One 40 gb s-ata and one 1tb sata.. Would 40gb be enough for my root directory? | 23:10 |
| VinceD | jolaren: Yes it should be. | 23:10 |
| IdleOne | twig11: ikonia has a short trigger finger | 23:10 |
| jrib | jolaren: 40gb is overkill | 23:10 |
| jolaren | VinceD; It should right? I mean leapin out of room on your "/" is a pain | 23:10 |
| Chlorus | just use computer janitor afterwards to be on the safe side of free space | 23:10 |

| ikonia | Chlorus: you are henri - stop it now, | 23:11 |
| JoeSomebody | i really didnt expect it to last, as it was mt first linux, it was dual boot with xp on a 40 gb LOL , then cloned to a 500 without resize, (was supposed to be do-able for linux that way) so i guess maybe i'll do it better this time | 23:11 |
| grobda24 | trism, Jeez, that was it :D | 23:11 |

| ardchoille | I've not done much work with fonts, how do I install this? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Artwiz+Snap+font+with+iso8859-2+chars?content=91519 | 23:13 |
| NET||abuse | I got a replacement card from dell, swapped them out and still no joy. | 23:13 |
| Finiki | unixalot: trying but nothing find | 23:13 |
| unixalot | Finiki: I know i have to auto adjust mine.. | 23:13 |
| twig11 | Why would my sound be bad, with all kinds of static, out the rear audio output jack, while it's fine out the front-panel headphone jack? | 23:13 |
| charlie__ | im stuck cant find my downloads | 23:13 |
| JoeSomebody | so that is a big compliment to you guys, i never thought i would accomplish a finished (more or less) install, expected problems , re-doing it many times | 23:13 |
| IdleOne | NET||abuse: have you looked at the wifi wiki yet? | 23:14 |
| JoeSomebody | and now i am going to kill it :) | 23:14 |
| JoeSomebody | see you in a while :) | 23:14 |
| unixalot | Finiki: no auto adjust? | 23:14 |
| NET||abuse | I've also tried uninstalling bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases | 23:14 |
| charlie__ | where do i find my downloads | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | charlie__: possible your desktop? | 23:15 |
| charlie__ | no | 23:15 |
| Finiki | unixalot: no, tv can not tune out the imagetq | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | charlie__: ~/Downloads ? | 23:15 |
| Finiki | i try use xvidtune but it nothing change | 23:15 |
| unixalot | Does your computer have a hdmi on it? | 23:16 |
| charlie__ | no | 23:16 |
| unixalot | Finiki: Or like a vga | 23:16 |
| JoeSomebody | how can i save my xchat everything? | 23:16 |
| Finiki | unixalot: hmi - hdmi | 23:16 |
| JoeSomebody | just copy it off? | 23:16 |
| Finiki | unixalot: hdmi - hdmi | 23:17 |
| NET||abuse | IdleOne, my wifi card has been working under ubuntu for almost 1.5 years of use before this stopped working | 23:17 |
| unixalot | So your laptop/desktop has a hdmi plug on it?? not your tv | 23:17 |
| JoeSomebody | i did a lot of customizing in xchat, i would like to keep it | 23:17 |
| charlie__ | where do i locate downloaded files | 23:17 |
| unixalot | charlie__: terminal command, locate <name of file? | 23:18 |
| pingfloyd | JoeSomebody: there should be some config file(s) for it in your home dir | 23:18 |
| IdleOne | NET||abuse: b43-fwcutter should cover your card | 23:18 |
| charlie__ | i tried that | 23:18 |
| unixalot | charlie__: sudo updatedb | 23:18 |
| pingfloyd | JoeSomebody: not on linux right now, but maybe ~/.xchat | 23:18 |
| JrodDCX | ok | 23:18 |
| charlie__ | no luck | 23:18 |
| JoeSomebody | someone did a !clone joesomebody thing before, can we do that ourselves? or is that for ops ? | 23:19 |
| NET||abuse | IdleOne, I really donj't know how the wifi card got knocked out. | 23:19 |
| Finiki | unixalot: yes, i use cord hdmi - hdmi without adapters | 23:19 |
| pingfloyd | charlie__: what did you download them with? | 23:19 |
| trism | charlie__: did you download it with firefox? if so, open Tools/Downloads, find the download in the list, right click and select open containing folder | 23:19 |
| * JoeSomebody needs to clone himself | 23:19 | |
| IdleOne | NET||abuse: not sure either to tell you the truth but see if that package helps any. you probably will need to reboot after installing | 23:19 |
| IdleOne | !clone | JoeSomebody | 23:19 |
| ubottu | JoeSomebody: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 23:19 |
| kermit | how can i see what package a file is from? | 23:20 |
| JoeSomebody | thanks :) | 23:20 |
| charlie__ | i downloaded limewire online it was in debs i think and it finished compressed now i cant find it | 23:20 |
| IdleOne | JoeSomebody: you can also use /msg ubottu !clone | 23:20 |
| JoeSomebody | good to know | 23:20 |
| infid | how do you see hidden files in nautilus? | 23:20 |
| IdleOne | infid: ctrl+h | 23:20 |

| ardchoille | kermit: dpkg -S file | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | kermit: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 23:21 |
| IdleOne | infid: yes in the view menu you can click on show hidden files | 23:21 |
| unixalot | Finiki: yeah i dono man, sorry Mine is like, you cant see the menu's then you hit auto adjust on the tv and it fix's it | 23:21 |
| kermit | ardchoille, erUSUL: ty | 23:21 |

| erUSUL | vadimanri: soreau has the ansewr... i did not known Xinerama disables composite | 23:50 |
| soreau | erUSUL: on nvidia, yes it does | 23:50 |
| Alumin | I tried checking /etc/inittab for the default runlevel, but there's no inittab...I guess that's because Ubuntu uses upstart now? | 23:51 |
| geo | vadmanri: Did u install proper drivers for nvidia? I had a nvidia b4 and it worked like a beauty | 23:51 |
| erUSUL | Alumin: sudo service --status-all | 23:51 |
| Yionel | IdleOne, I have installed xfce, but I have always menu of Ubuntu Netbook Remix in the middle :/ | 23:51 |
| geo | erUSUL do u know how i can change it too use intel drivers? | 23:51 |
| vadimanri | Soreau: Nvidia settings only applies Xinerama | 23:51 |
| Alumin | erUSUL: hmm...what if that's not installed? | 23:51 |
| erUSUL | geo: really dunno the system should be using the intel driver ... you can try to force its use using a xorg.conf ... | 23:51 |
| soreau | vadimanri: I don't know how nvidia works, I don't use it. I just know you need to use twinview | 23:52 |

| usuario_ | adiosss | 23:52 |
| unixalot | geo: if your using intel drivers i recommend 2.4 because it has better performace in linux than the new ones | 23:52 |
| erUSUL | !es | usuario_ | 23:52 |
| ubottu | usuario_: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. | 23:52 |
| Alumin | erUSUL: well, true, but...I'm a support tech and installing a new package every time I log in to a new server may not be an option | 23:52 |
| djnomad | sad thing is I am developer at a website ..poor site lol | 23:52 |
| snayth | jrib: Hi - Hey I forgot to say thanks earlier for offering suggestions for my help with opening multiple .txt files - By the way I came across "Leafpad" which is doing exactly what I needed and it's in Synaptic - Again Thank You! | 23:52 |
| vadimanri | soreau: it's odd because the option they have in Nvidia settings only applies Xinerama | 23:53 |
| geo | unixalot: Well right now i'm apparently using VESA, i need to know how to change to the intel ones that installed during updates | 23:53 |
| soreau | vadimanri: Did you look in xorg.conf? | 23:53 |
| ballong | running 9.10, ssh to the maching works fine. however i can´t connect to the server with winscp or nomachine client, any theories? same userprefs. | 23:53 |
| break_ | hey. what cmdline command will print only a certain line (say, line number 3) of a file (or stdin)? | 23:53 |
| vadimanri | geo: do you have any idea how I should be setting this up? | 23:53 |
| unixalot | geo: yes dont use vesa drivers they are terribel, its stupid how it updates to crappy drivers | 23:53 |
| unixalot | geo: you have to add intel 2.4 drivers to your repo | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | Alumin: then i dunno; ask in #ubuntu-server | 23:53 |
| geo | unixalot: no, imean when i updated it had intel-gfx-drivers or something of that nature in them. But for some reason i'm using VESA | 23:54 |
| Alumin | cool, thanks | 23:54 |

| unixalot | geo: Yeah i dont knw what versoin of linux/ubuntu your using so.. | 23:55 |
| geo | unixalot: Ubuntu 9.10 | 23:55 |
| MenZa | I didn't think so. I'm getting "Access denied" when logging in through ssh, but it works fine locally. /etc/hosts.(deny|allow) don't exist, either, so it shouldn't be blocked | 23:55 |
