| daftykins | Krai: what are you trying to install? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mlissner | terminhell: I do have a setting called "Init Display First" which can be set to either 'pci' or 'pci express card'. No idea what it means though. | 00:00 |
| terminhell | mlissner: sounds like a hardware prob for sure if its black from the moment you hit the power button | 00:00 |
| koshari | Krai actually thats a hidden file called .linux | 00:00 |
| terminhell | mlissner: thats what you need to do... | 00:00 |
| Krai | http://beta.eset.com/linux | 00:00 |
| daftykins | mlissner: that's a BIOS entry to choose a primary graphics card to be either PCI-Express or normal PCI | 00:00 |
| crazyeric | how do i find the desktop in the file system, i booted from the install disc and go the live session user and am trying to back some things up so i can do a fresh install | 00:00 |
| terminhell | mlissner: set it to pci express card | 00:00 |
| Krai | you can c file in that link | 00:00 |
| daftykins | crazyeric: ~/Desktop | 00:00 |
| crazyeric | nevermind | 00:00 |
| crazyeric | fiound it... | 00:00 |

| Krai | but the file can be downloaded is .linux | 00:01 |
| === machine is now known as mode | ||
| Krai | have you any opinion about it ? | 00:01 |
| terminhell | zvacet: ive used it a little in the past | 00:01 |
| terminhell | Krai: a .linux file? sounds fishy | 00:02 |
| Krai | http://beta.eset.com/linux | 00:02 |
| daftykins | Krai: no .deb download or repo to add? | 00:02 |
| zvacet | do you remember how to manage network and users & groups | 00:02 |
| Krai | no daftykins | 00:02 |
| fixer_33 | hi everyone | 00:02 |
| Krai | you can see in that link wha i am talking about | 00:02 |
| capron | Kardos, Is thee no good open antivir too use ? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | Krai: "chmod +x" it then "./file.linux" | 00:02 |
| terminhell | zvacet: its just a de. you still gotta load up on apps for that stuff. natively it doesnt ship with such apps | 00:03 |
| overmacht | Krai; ubuntu is safe forever, no need AV anymore. | 00:03 |

| goddard | geirha ok now I get operation not supported | 00:03 |
| acovrig | is there a cmd that lets me ssh as user1, and see what the title of the topmost window (on :0.0) of user2 is? | 00:03 |
| Krai | main purpose of tryin to install for me just learn this | 00:03 |
| zvacet | I tried to set network with pppoeconf and it failed | 00:04 |
| mlissner | terminhell: I put in that setting, then put in the card, but I still can't get anything to come up on the display. | 00:04 |
| fixer_33 | i've got a really big problem with mdb2 library because when I use query method to make query to database i see that this method is undefined | 00:04 |
| Krai | daftykins: then like a bin file ? | 00:04 |
| fixer_33 | i need help | 00:04 |
| daftykins | Krai: might be ja | 00:04 |
| terminhell | Krai: ive never heard of a .linux file. im not sure how to install it. | 00:04 |
| daftykins | Krai: or a script | 00:04 |
| terminhell | mlissner: your not putting the card in with the power on right? | 00:04 |
| Krai | i am trying bb | 00:04 |
| mlissner | terminhell: Right-o | 00:04 |
| geirha | goddard: That's a common warning when copying to windows filesystems. Windows filesystems doesn't support the linux-permission scheme, so you get operation not supported when trying to set permissions on the moved files. | 00:05 |
| terminhell | was that a yes or no? lol | 00:05 |
| mlissner | terminhell: that's a correct - I'm powering off before adding/removing any hardware. | 00:05 |
| Krai | daftykins: it works | 00:05 |
| goddard | geirha so what do I do it doesn't appear to work | 00:05 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 00:06 |
| Krai | it has a gui like a bin file | 00:06 |
| daftykins | :) cool | 00:06 |
| geirha | goddard: The files aren't moved? | 00:06 |
| === penguinfan is now known as c0ntract0r | ||
| Krai | this commands started its installation gui | 00:06 |
| goddard | geirha oh sorry they are | 00:06 |
| Krai | then we learn a .linux file same with a bin file :)) | 00:06 |
| terminhell | mlissner: does that card require power? newer cards actualy require power from the powersupply, plugged directly onto it | 00:06 |
| overmacht | Krai; has been reading manual? look http://download.eset.com/manuals/ESET_EAVLIN_4_UserGuide_ENU.pdf | 00:06 |
| geirha | goddard: It's safe to ignore those warnings. mv is just trying to make the destination files have the same permissions as the source files. | 00:06 |

| divXjunky | Hi all. I am on ubuntu 9.10, and when I tried to update with the update manager, I got an dpkg error when it was reading the database. I tried "dpkg --configure -a" to fix it, however, a second update attempt also failed. Anybody around who knows what this problem might be? thanx!! | 00:08 |
| goddard | geirha what if I want to automate this process and have apache run this how would I set it up | 00:08 |
| acovrig | is there a cmd that lets me ssh as user1, and see what the title of the topmost window (on :0.0) of user2 is? | 00:08 |
| Krai | overmacht: no | 00:09 |
| Krai | i wil read. is there anything need to know ? | 00:09 |
| geirha | goddard: You want apache to move files to your windows machine? Also mount the windows share? | 00:09 |
| pino | apt | 00:09 |
| pino | sudo | 00:09 |
| capron | divXjunky, Do you get the same problem using apt-get ? | 00:09 |
| pino | sudo su | 00:09 |
| Krai | we found installation commands with the help of daftykins | 00:09 |
| goddard | geirha the share is already mounted | 00:09 |
| divXjunky | capron, Yes I had the same results with apt-get | 00:10 |
| goddard | geirha I just have it run a command and change the file permissions for the source folder to www-data | 00:10 |

| geirha | goddard: By apache though, you mean a php-script? and you trigger the move from a web page? | 00:11 |
| goddard | geirha yes | 00:11 |
| terminhell | mlissner: silly question, but you do have the monitor securly plugged in to the card, not the onboard | 00:12 |
| B3rz3rk3r | q0k, you dont seem to understand, ask a question to do with the problem that you are having.. not a general one. That way if anytone knows the answer to your problem they will reply.. understand? | 00:12 |

| geirha | goddard: Perhaps you're not quoting right? | 00:13 |
| mlissner | terminhell: tried both though...neither works when the nvidia card is plugged in. | 00:13 |
| goddard | geirha maybe i will check again | 00:13 |

| === c0ntract0r is now known as r0b0tchicken | ||

| LetsGo67 | I am tired of using Windows 7, but I am tired on my fan *not* turning on in Ubuntu! When will this be fixed? Acer Aspire 5315 which worked in 9.04. | 00:45 |
| Out_Cold | LetsGo67, is there a bug for it? | 00:45 |
| grendal_prime | VCoolio: na basicaly i need to upgrade to 8.10 to get what i need | 00:46 |
| terminhell | philipwnz: only thing i can think of is delete one of them and then update the one left | 00:46 |
| grendal_prime | thanks guys | 00:46 |
| Dabian | Is UBUNTU unable to show encrypted DVD's? | 00:46 |
| LetsGo67 | No clue. Out_Cold. I assume yes. Regardless, it doth frustrateth me. | 00:46 |
| Dabian | ~? dvd | 00:46 |
| Out_Cold | Dabian, some dvds just dont work | 00:46 |
| philipwnz | can I just make only the ubuntu grub bootable, so when i boot the pc it will run the grub installed in ubuntu which will let me chose to start ubuntu | 00:46 |
| Out_Cold | LetsGo67, search for the bug, report your system and add your input | 00:47 |
| Trek | Dabian, you'll need some packages in the Medibuntu repos | 00:47 |

| terminhell | philipwnz: yes. remove the one from the othe os | 00:47 |
| Out_Cold | aam_, i tried it on my netbook and it failed for X | 00:47 |
| aam_ | interesting | 00:48 |
| kuna236 | Dabian: run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 00:48 |
| goddard | geirha will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB | 00:48 |
| goddard | will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB | 00:48 |
| Dabian | kuna236: That was in the guide, so I already did that. | 00:48 |
| kuna236 | Dabian: oh, sorry | 00:48 |
| LetsGo67 | OH AND what should I do to stop hackers on a server? | 00:48 |
| Dabian | kuna236: No, thanks for the idea. :) | 00:49 |
| capron | philipwnz, yes you can but grub2 used is not that easy too config if it dont work right from start | 00:49 |
| Dabian | kuna236: I bet it would have fixed the problem in more than 80% of the cases. :) | 00:49 |

| Trek | sorry, raden_work | 00:50 |
| Dabian | Out_Cold: Are you saying that Ubuntu is unable to play certain DVD's, so I have to go to my parents place or somewhere else to watch it? | 00:50 |
| Out_Cold | raden_work, i showed you how to.. but enabling root log in is 'not recommended' | 00:50 |
| kuna236 | Dabian: blashphemy! | 00:50 |
| kuna236 | haha | 00:51 |
| Trek | raden_work, we won't help you access root. most things that root can do can be done under "sudo" | 00:51 |

| raden_work | Trek, wow thanks for the help | 00:51 |
| Dabian | raden_work: Its for your own good. | 00:51 |
| Out_Cold | Dabian, i have experienced it with some encrypted ones.... maybe there is a fix? | 00:51 |
| raden_work | uhuh sure... stupid !!! | 00:51 |

| trism | philipwnz: according to the grub2 article on the gentoo wiki, you should just be able to add an entry in the debian grub2 to /boot/grub/core.img of ubuntu's grub, and it will load ubuntu's grub when you select it | 00:53 |
| Trek | raden_work, you can install multiple packages at once in one command... | 00:53 |

| jrib | raden_work: or if you want some sort of root shell, read the link ubottu is about to send you about « sudo -i » | 00:54 |
| Out_Cold | Trek, :p | 00:54 |

| ubottu | raden_work, please see my private message | 00:54 |

| Dabian | I think raden_work prefers to work with a root shell, nothing we can do. :)) | 00:54 |
| Trek | i mean, sure I have a root login on my comp, but thats because I needed it to install the server software through the GUI (I don't really like CLI :P) | 00:55 |

| narendra | Anybody here to reveiw this article on zipping .deb files for custom installation http://lug-iitd.posterous.com/project-deb-bundle-input-needed-zeroth-versio | 00:56 |

| Flashlite | I'm gonna have dual boot soon | 00:56 |
| terminhell | i forget ubuntu makes root login pretty hard to do | 00:57 |
| Flashlite | I had no Computer for 7 months erg | 00:57 |
| jrib | Trek: you don't *need* a root password set | 00:57 |
| Out_Cold | terminhell, it because it's so easy for noobs to use root to break their sys | 00:57 |
| Out_Cold | and ubuntu is noob #1 choice of OS | 00:58 |

| milktash | thanks | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: yes | 01:52 |
| renegaid | what program? | 01:52 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: as long as you got enough RAM and such | 01:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | renegaid, VirtualBox is popular | 01:53 |
| renegaid | I have too much ram | 01:53 |
| daftykins | renegaid: virtualbox / vmware / etc | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: Virtualbox is good, get it from website/webserver if want USB support, otherwise the open source version in repo is fine | 01:53 |
| renegaid | vmware is free for linux? | 01:53 |
| milktash | so if I remove network-manager to install wicd will I maintain my current connection? | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: Virtualbox has two versions both are free as in price | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | !virtualbox | renegaid | 01:53 |
| ubottu | renegaid: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 01:53 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: VMware player and server are free as in price, the other versions are paid for | 01:54 |
| Nighthawk82 | now using mythbuntu is tehre anyway to have it run smoother with the channels using Notebook for it | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | renegaid: that factoid should get changed a bit really, and by non-free they mean as in software freedom | 01:54 |
| sebsebseb | !freedom | renegaid | 01:54 |
| ubottu | renegaid: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 01:54 |

| crazyeric | does anyone know how to reroute the sound from the phono plug to HDMI, it works in xbmc but all other apps the sound comes out of the phono jack | 02:02 |

| melow01 | sebsebseb, histo oh ok | 02:03 |
| histo | melow01: intel based chipsets are mostly built right in to kernel. Broadcomm chipsets are a pita because you need the firmware but its easy to install with restricted drivers manager. | 02:03 |

| melow01 | histo, yeah, I remember finding that link a month or so ago and doing some troubleshooting but still couldn't get UNR running from USB | 02:11 |
| melow01 | histo, one solution was to physically remove the Wifi card from the machine and then UNR would boot | 02:12 |

| Gnea | bullgard: you might need to use losetup | 02:33 |
| Gnea | bullgard: or try without the -t squashfs option | 02:34 |
| chelz | brandon_oma_692: did you install from the 9.10 repos? | 02:34 |
| zetheroo | I just had to ask about this ... if there is a patch for the kernel which enables some critical function which the generic kernel does not, why would this patch be incorporated into the actual kernel so that the fix is available without the need for a third party source and additional updates etc !? | 02:34 |
| zetheroo | sorry .. I mean to say "why would this patch NOT be incorporated...." | 02:35 |
| brandon_oma_692 | in terminal sudo apt-get install supertux i think is how i got it not really sure | 02:35 |
| chelz | zetheroo: reasons for patches not getting included and getting cluded into the linux kernel are handled totally on a case-by-case basis | 02:35 |
| zetheroo | chelz: that is informative but not really helpful | 02:36 |
| bullgard | Gnea: I am not familiar with 'losetup'. Do you mean this: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html? | 02:36 |

| chelz | zetheroo: you might have better luck referring to a specific instance of patches not getting accepted. the kernelnewbies website has a ton of info around all of this | 02:37 |
| zetheroo | chelz: what must one do to get the patch incorporated into the kernel? | 02:37 |

| chelz | zetheroo: http://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge | 02:38 |
| Gnea | bullgard: kind of, but without the encryption part | 02:38 |
| zetheroo | chelz: so there is nothing "automatic" about the process? | 02:39 |

| chelz | brandon_oma_692: run "supertux" from the commandline and please pastebin the output | 02:39 |
| chelz | zetheroo: no, software development is usually all quite manual. especially when changing really established projects. | 02:40 |
| zetheroo | chelz: I had been thinking that launchpad was somehow a breeding ground for bug fixes and such which were then sorted though and submitted to the kernel devs | 02:40 |
| keith- | so i have sun-java6-jdk and it seems eclipse just installed openjdk do those two not conflict at all? | 02:40 |
| zetheroo | chelz: or if not to the kernel devs then to which ever developers were in charge of that area | 02:40 |

| r0b0tchicken | Shazam do you know the name of the program you are trying to kill? will killall nameofprogram not work? | 03:14 |
| chelz | Talon_: probably not a good idea to remove core system parts | 03:15 |
| rd1381 | but with same bash i can use it with apt-get | 03:15 |
| Talon_ | chelz: ok, well i'm happy with the current solution then, so far nothing's asked me for a password | 03:15 |

| j0hndoe | question about docks for ubuntu. im lookin for one that works w/o a composite manager like compiz. i have to disable compiz so i can remote into 9.10 (known bug). so i have to disable it fairly often. i know docky requies this. i think awn does as well. so there are the 2 major/good docks. anyone recommend anything else? | 03:30 |
| auril | I'm in the ubuntu recovery shell, and I accidentally exited the 'gui' program (it has options to 'fix x server', 'run dpkg' etc) - how do I get back to the gui screen? | 03:30 |
| r0b0tchicken | rd1381...lol if you are comfy with it, you can go to the GRUB menu (i take it you are on 9.10) and get into the recovery terminal...and set the passwords for root there just like you forgot the password. I have a link here close that will give you the steps if you'd like.... | 03:30 |
| chelz | rd1381: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword | 03:31 |

| r0b0tchicken | rd1381, if that doesn't work from grub, something else is srsly wrong..... | 03:33 |
| j0hndoe | oh well, was hoping some would know of one off the top of their head. i'll try awn w/ metacity composite manger, maybe it'll work *shrug* | 03:33 |

| wooby | chelz: thank you, however i am looking for a .img and not a .iso i believe... i'm trying to write the installer image to a USB stick, not a CD | 03:36 |
| chelz | rd1381: because the account has been enabled somehow. to disable it running "sudo passwd -l root" from the recovery mode will fix it | 03:37 |
| auril | wooby, that can be done with a .iso | 03:37 |
| chelz | wooby: download Unetbootin | 03:37 |

| macman_ | guys question .. im on ubuntu and my audio isn't working .. i just removed pulse audio and alasmixer is fine .. should i reboot ? | 03:47 |
| rd1381 | i long for opensuse but it didnt have the repos of ubuntu but now i think i switch back | 03:47 |
| bastid_raZor | rd1381: you created the problem by enabling root. | 03:48 |
| rd1381 | the funny thing is i can install apps with apt-ht and synaptic but dpkg says i must be superuser | 03:48 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | bastid_raZor, I dont need to know any of that I need to know how to add users and administrators to a folder so when I right click I can set permissions on that folder | 03:48 |
| Gryllida | I don't think it would be good to post my question again, but did anybody just see it? | 03:48 |
| bastid_raZor | rd1381: then use sudo for root permissions | 03:49 |
| bastid_raZor | !sudo | rd1381 | 03:49 |
| ubottu | rd1381: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) 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) | 03:49 |
| rd1381 | <bastid_raZor> wont work on dpkg | 03:49 |
| jack5463 | after i install ubuntu 9.1 should i update it? | 03:49 |
| r0b0tchicken | bastid_raZor, please explain your reasoning behind that? the FIRST thing i did with ubuntu was set a root password, so at least there was one there... are you just saying "for him" that is a bad idea, or for everyone? | 03:49 |
| bastid_raZor | !root | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:49 |
| r0b0tchicken | jack5463, at least change it to security updates and get those... | 03:49 |
| chelz | rd1381: try to do something with sudo and pastebin all of your terminal after you do it | 03:49 |
| rd1381 | sure | 03:49 |
| rd1381 | what you need? | 03:49 |
| mobius2 | robotchicken I think he simply meant that it's best to leave the default hash password intact for the root account, as it's more secure.... | 03:50 |
| rd1381 | \is ls enough? | 03:50 |
| bastid_raZor | setting a root password is not supported by #ubuntu and by doing so you negate support here. | 03:50 |
| roboboy | Anyone have a guide, or some suggestions for how to increase resolution or enable 3D acceleration for an Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 900? | 03:50 |
| chelz | rd1381: do sudo passwd -l root | 03:50 |
| roboboy | right now ubuntu is limiting me to 800x600 | 03:50 |
| jack5463 | r0b0tchicken, what are the security problems with ubuntu? | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | roboboy: thers some forum threads and wiki pages on Intel video chipsets. | 03:50 |
| rd1381 | sudo passwd -l root | 03:50 |
| rd1381 | [sudo] password for rd-admin: | 03:50 |
| rd1381 | passwd: Permission denied. | 03:50 |
| bastid_raZor | U-b-u-n-t-u: chown is the correct way, but you need a valid user:group | 03:50 |
| macman_ | what is that website that has all the compatble computers ? | 03:51 |
| macman_ | it hink its a wiki | 03:51 |
| bastid_raZor | rd1381: sudo will ask for your password.. the admin user | 03:51 |
| chelz | !supportroot | r0b0tchicken | 03:51 |
| ubottu | r0b0tchicken: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 03:51 |
| r0b0tchicken | jack5463, not so much "sec problems" ,but every now and again they will find a "Possible vulnerability", and my advice is at the very least, enable "security updates only", and install them | 03:51 |
| rd1381 | <bastid_raZo yes | 03:51 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | roboboy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/369951/ I had to add this to my xconfig | 03:54 |

| stevenfgsdfg | It does not | 03:54 |
| chelz | rd1381: what's the purpose of the rd-admin user? | 03:54 |
| stevenfgsdfg | Does not come installed with Xubuntu from what I can tell :( | 03:54 |
| rd1381 | <chelz> for fun | 03:54 |
| xangua | stevenfgsdfg: no, ubuntu-one for ubuntu at the moment, i don't know if ohter derivates like mint already have it | 03:55 |

| blankthemuffin | Hey I'm wondering if anybody knows a good app to create a video out of a image slideshow. It only has to be simple but I've tried Imagination and Videoporama and neither work. (The former crops all my images and the latter does not export, preview, anything) | 03:56 |
| rd1381 | but still no luck | 03:56 |
| chelz | rd1381: just for fun, try changing "runas_default=rd-admin" to "runas_default=root" or remove it | 03:56 |
| rd1381 | ok | 03:56 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | bastid_raZor, any time I right click any folder I can set admin and users privileges so why would I need to add user administrator and users? | 03:56 |
| rd1381 | sure | 03:56 |
| bastid_raZor | rd1381: using sudo you would need to be the user with admin in their group. | 03:56 |
| rd1381 | <bastid_raZor both re admin dude | 03:56 |
| chelz | rd1381: then try that "sudo passwd -l root" | 03:56 |
| roboboy | U-b-u-n-t-u: thanks :) | 03:56 |
| rd1381 | <chelz> sure | 03:56 |
| jack5463 | is Ubuntu 9.04 more stable than 9.10? I'm spending a lot of time here trying to fix problems with my 9.10 | 03:56 |
| Freeaqingme | jack5463, I had the same feeling indeed | 03:57 |
| Dr_Willis | jack5463: ive had very few problems with 9.10 | 03:57 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | roboboy, np | 03:57 |
| _Tristan | just installed 9.10 and wireless networks don't show up | 03:57 |
| chelz | _Tristan: i know those as "upgrading pains". just things to be fixed and forgotten. | 03:57 |
| bastid_raZor | U-b-u-n-t-u: right clicking and using chown are not the exact same. using chown you need an actual user or group that exists | 03:57 |
| speedxxxcore | I need an app that sees disk I/O in realtime? any ideas? | 03:58 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | roboboy, many people were trying to tell me it was a driver and its just a xconf setting | 03:58 |
| _Tristan | chelz: I didn't upgrade, it was a clean install | 03:58 |
| jack5463 | Dr_Willis, 9.04 has more problems than 9.10? | 03:58 |
| chelz | _Tristan: metaphorical update then ;) | 03:58 |
| Inpetto | Hi all, how can I flush all at localhost on port 11211 if Im connected via ssh? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | jack5463: cant say i noticed many issues in 9,.04 either | 03:58 |
| _Tristan | chelz: I suppose. Any idea how to fx it? | 03:58 |
| _Tristan | fix* | 03:58 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | bastid_raZor, the point of me saying that I can right click on other folders and see users and admins wasnt to say that was equal to chown but to say I should be able to add admins and users to a folder then set permissions | 03:58 |
| rd1381 | :)) | 03:59 |
| rd1381 | it gets worse by second | 03:59 |

| chelz | rd1381: edit it from recovery mode | 03:59 |
| rd1381 | sigh | 04:00 |
| chelz | rd1381: and don't use "sudo" while in recovery mode | 04:00 |
| rd1381 | never mind | 04:00 |
| bastid_raZor | U-b-u-n-t-u: understood. using chown requires using an actual user .. if user fred does not exist then you can not chown fred file .. | 04:00 |
| jack5463 | Dr_Willis, I'm using ubuntu 9.10 from a usb. I have sound. My sound control icon disappeared from panel. When i try to access "sound" from System>Preferences>Sound... I get a window that says "waiting for sound system to respond" How do i repair it? | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jack5463: i found them both stable. I dont recall any issues i had with either one.. The UNR for 9.10 does work better on my AAO howeverf | 04:00 |
| rd1381 | thanks for help | 04:00 |
| rd1381 | i guess i go back to dear suse | 04:00 |
| chelz | rd1381: don't break your system next time :P | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | jack5463: sounds liek pulse audio died perhaps.. restart pulse audio. Ive never had souind issues | 04:00 |
| rd1381 | <chelz> ubuntu is fagile not me | 04:00 |
| bastid_raZor | rd1381: doing unsupported things is the issue. don't be a rebel | 04:01 |
| rd1381 | <chelz> what is a linux if u cant play with it | 04:01 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | bastid_raZor, I am not trying to add a user but the option administrator and users so I can set the permissions | 04:01 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | =_= | 04:01 |
| chelz | rd1381: part of playing with something is dealing with it when it breaks. like now. you don't seem to be up for what it takes to fix it though | 04:01 |
| rd1381 | i played suse ragged but always could get back to step one | 04:01 |

| U-b-u-n-t-u | bastid_raZor, I assume the command line is the same in 9.10 | 04:02 |

| sahal | sebsebseb: so what should i do to make it start faster? or even troubleshoot what the problem is? | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: maybe another log in screen will help, or an upgrade to at least 8.10. Of course if you upgrade to at least 8.10 you can't then directly upgrade to 10.04. However people who directly upgrade from 8.04 probably won't get Grub 2 on upgrade and Ext4 is unlikely to get on upgrade. Those aren't really needed those. | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: though | 04:11 |
| zurdo12 | xangua pero lo busco en los server y no aparece nada con .es | 04:11 |

| sebsebseb | sahal: there's KDM and XDM as well, KDM being the KDE one, which means it will want to put on quite a lot more KDE stuff, if you haven't already got KDE stuff on there | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: you could try re installing gdm also | 04:12 |
| sahal | sebsebseb: the thing is gdm starts fine... its only after i try to login does the computer really lag | 04:13 |
| sahal | is that still a gdm problem? | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: maybe | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: ,but it's probably something else actsaulley | 04:13 |

| d6chung | Does "Modules linked in" in dmesg list the drivers that are loaded? | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: however I suppouse try another log in screen, and if get with that as well, there's your answer | 04:13 |
| lanzelloth | how can I configure wireless network connections manually? | 04:14 |
| nytek_ | lanzelloth: with iwconfig | 04:14 |
| sebsebseb | sahal: have you got data backed up and such? you could try upgrading to 8.10, then just clean install when 10.04 comes out? | 04:14 |
| lanzelloth | does the nm-applet use the same settings or whatever is set by iwconfig? | 04:15 |
| bastid_raZor | lanzelloth: right click the nm-applet in the toolbar and edit connections .. or left click and connecdt to hidden network .. that will allow you to set each setting required | 04:15 |
| lanzelloth | bastid_raZor i tried that | 04:16 |
| lanzelloth | bastid_raZor the result is multiple connection profiles to the same network | 04:17 |

| bastid_raZor | lanzelloth: i've changed my wireless encryption recently and had no issues.. unsure why it wouldn't work for you. i deleted the previous setting for mine and did a connect to hidden network .. since i had hid the SSID and change from wep to wpa/tsk | 04:19 |
| lanzelloth | bastid_raZor i'd rather learn about the foolproof way with the command line | 04:20 |
| lanzelloth | bastid_raZor i'm reading a bunch of tutorials online about it and they all want me to run a bunch of commands without explaining them | 04:21 |
| bastid_raZor | lanzelloth: iwconfig is the way although i do not have much experience.. good luck | 04:21 |
| unixalot | lanzelloth: whatcha doin with iwconfig?? | 04:21 |
| lanzelloth | unixalot trying to set up a wireless connection "profile" | 04:23 |
| lanzelloth | the nm-applet does use the same setting files/whatever as the iwconfig right? it's just a "nicer" gui alternative of dealing with iwconfig from the terminal | 04:23 |
| unixalot | lanzelloth: thats a fact | 04:24 |
| lanzelloth | unixalot so if I configured it properly then the nm-applet will just autoconnect the next time I log in right? | 04:24 |
| unixalot | No you have to set the nm-applet to the settings then it will save to your keyring i think | 04:25 |
| lanzelloth | i don't know what the gnome keyring is | 04:25 |
| thechris | I need help getting dual-boot to work. | 04:25 |
| lanzelloth | It's a gnome thing, yes? | 04:25 |
| unixalot | It saves all these settings that are required by root | 04:26 |

| thechris | sahal: how did you get it to boot into windows? | 04:28 |
| lanzelloth | unixalot hmm ok | 04:28 |
| sahal | ubuntu detected it and put it in my menu.lst | 04:28 |
| sahal | i'm sure you can do the same manually | 04:28 |
| bastid_raZor | !fixgrub | thechris you might need this. | 04:28 |
| ubottu | thechris you might need this.: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| lanzelloth | sahal oh, I thought you were having problem with something | 04:30 |
| sahal | lanzelloth: well i am but its not related to grub | 04:30 |

| thechris | resno: winxp currently hangs before booting. ubuntu works. | 04:39 |
| unixalot | resno: I dont undersand? | 04:39 |
| unixalot | resno: fixing grub is just mounting your boot partition from a live cd and running a few terminal commands | 04:39 |
| charles__ | hmmm.... " & disown -a" doesn't seem to work. it takes me back to a prompt, but then i start getting messages | 04:40 |
| resno | unixalot: currently linux has the full disk, do i need to force linux into a small partition first? | 04:40 |
| unixalot | You need to set your partiton table to allow enough room for your windows install | 04:40 |
| resno | unixalot: and gparted is what i should use? | 04:40 |
| unixalot | You might have to use gparted and resize your ext3 | 04:40 |

| gtr | how do make Xchat only accessible on the Admin account? | 04:45 |

| thechris | DSpair: my plan is to get winxp bootable, and then try putting grub back on | 05:00 |
| edbian | thechris, fixing the mbr will put the windows boot loader there. The windows boot loader will not boot linux for you | 05:00 |
| DSpair | thechris: GRUB does work, it's just a matter of configuring it properly. | 05:00 |
| thechris | edbian: and grub won't allow winxp to boot _at all_ right not. | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | thechris: theres some boot/rescue live cd's that might have tools to do that (repair the windows bootloader) but i alsays use a windows cd. | 05:00 |
| Dr_Willis | thechris: so no os's are working with grub. | 05:01 |
| thechris | Dr_Willis: after moving to grub, winxp is listed but no longer boots. it hangs before the splash screen | 05:01 |

| thechris | DSpair: yes | 05:01 |
| wrapster | how can i know the transfer rate from the usb device? using the terminal? | 05:01 |
| DSpair | thechris: OK then, you can reconfigure GRUB from Linux and get it to allow booting into Windows XP. Here's a good link:http://devhood.com/Tutorials/tutorial_details.aspx?tutorial_id=405 | 05:02 |
| thechris | DSpair: and grub attempts to allow winxp to boot. but I get a black screen before the normal winxp splash | 05:02 |
| nick125 | Anyone here know of a PPA that has a newer version of Pulseaudio that doesn't conflict with the ubuntu-desktop package? | 05:02 |
| tbrock | do the permissions for samba gues shares need to be set to samba | 05:02 |
| aurilliance | call me out of date, but I have ubuntu 6 running on a machine. Is it possible to jump all the in-between revisions, and simply upgrade straight to 9 ? | 05:02 |
| unixalot | thechris: you have to fix your grub | 05:03 |
| tbrock | err the group rather | 05:03 |
| kinja-sheep | nick125: ubuntu-desktop package can be removed. | 05:03 |
| nick125 | aurilliance: Likely not, no. | 05:03 |
| thechris | unixalot: how?! | 05:03 |
| edbian | aurilliance, Using the CD but it is difficult to keep your files (unless you have a seperate home partition!) | 05:03 |
| unixalot | thechris: are you using karmic like grub2 | 05:03 |
| aurilliance | ok | 05:03 |
| aurilliance | thanks both | 05:03 |
| thechris | unixalot: yep | 05:03 |
| nick125 | kinja-sheep: Well, the package in the ubuntu-audio PPA wants to remove a few other packages as well...I'm not sure if it's because those packages are superseded or what. | 05:03 |
| unixalot | thechris: gotta run update-grub from terminal | 05:03 |
| unixalot | thechris: it should probe for other os | 05:03 |
| thechris | unixalot: that's not my problem -- windows is listed | 05:04 |
| thechris | unixalot: windows just doesn't boot | 05:04 |
| kinja-sheep | nick125: What few other packages? | 05:04 |
| archboxman | hold on a min unixalot thechris are you still able to boot windows xp from gurb??? | 05:04 |
| nick125 | kinja-sheep: I forgot, but let me check. | 05:04 |
| DSpair | thechris: update-grub will change some options about how the GRUB bootloader kickstarts Windows. | 05:04 |
| koshari | anyone know why ekee segfaults on karmic | 05:04 |
| kinja-sheep | nick125: I don't have ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-standard installed. :D | 05:04 |
| unixalot | archboxman: hangs b4 splash his xp does | 05:05 |
| thechris | archboxman: not quite, grub lists winxp. but it hangs | 05:05 |
| archboxman | thechris: hangs for how long???? | 05:05 |
| thechris | archboxman: until i reboot | 05:05 |
| lanzelloth | wicd > network-manager | 05:05 |
| nick125 | kinja-sheep: libcanberra-pulse, padevchooser, paprefs, pulseaudio-dbg, pulseaudio-esound-compat, puloseaudio-esound-compat-dbg, pulseaudio-module-bluebooth...ubuntu-desktop | 05:05 |
| archboxman | thechris: edit grub... something is not right | 05:06 |
| thechris | DSpair: so what is the difference between update-grub, and update-grub2 | 05:06 |
| tbrock | you guys have any ideas | 05:06 |
| unixalot | thechris: probably have to edit your grub.cfg | 05:06 |
| tbrock | i think it's a permissions issue | 05:06 |
| unixalot | thechris: the entrie for your windows | 05:06 |
| tbrock | i'm trying to setup a folder as a guest ok share using samba | 05:06 |
| tbrock | i can see the sahre | 05:06 |
| thechris | unixalot: what do I change it to? | 05:07 |
| tbrock | and browse some of the folders | 05:07 |
| === blocket is now known as blocky | ||
| unixalot | thechris: paste me your entrie in pastie | 05:07 |
| tbrock | but for some reason can't go as deep as I want due to an error | 05:07 |
| kinja-sheep | nick125: Hmm. Those are PulseAudio-related packages. If you were to use a different package, you could install those said packages again and see if that works. | 05:07 |
| archboxman | !pastebin | 05:07 |

| thechris | unixalot: http://pastie.org/812107 | 05:08 |
| nick125 | kinja-sheep: Hm. Apparently, Synaptic is a bit...odd. It turns out that the PPA provides those packages, but it doesn't want to use them. | 05:08 |
| thechris | maybe I should try using my previous grub | 05:09 |

| ubottu | catzz, please see my private message | 05:10 |
| nick125 | kinja-sheep: This is strange. Let me try aptitude instead | 05:10 |
| kinja-sheep | nick125: I'm not a big fan of Synaptic -- Try the terminal. Sometimes PPA have more than just one package. | 05:10 |
| unixalot | thechris: wait | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: thers several themes and theme parts in the repos. and the tool 'gnome-art' and 'gnome-artng' also make it easy to install dozens of themes and theme parts | 05:10 |
| unixalot | whats the command to display partition table | 05:11 |
| unixalot | fstab? | 05:11 |
| catzz | Dr_Willis: i found emerald theme | 05:11 |
| thechris | fdisk -l | 05:11 |
| catzz | how to set it? | 05:11 |
| unixalot | pastie me that | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: emerals id basically dead.. i would not bother using Emerald | 05:11 |
| Nyx1 | nyx@Cassandra:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 05:11 |

| [BT]Brendan | The Mic line in on laptop doesn't work on Ubuntu. How can I go about troubleshooting this? | 05:11 |
| unixalot | catzz: you gotta do it threw emerald | 05:11 |
| catzz | well which should i use? | 05:11 |
| Nyx1 | I've been getting this error whenever I try to use my wifi card | 05:12 |
| thechris | unixalot: http://pastie.org/812111 | 05:12 |
| Nyx1 | er, wireless card | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: use the normal gnome themes. and the tools i mentioned | 05:12 |
| * unixalot is using emerald | 05:12 | |
| catzz | well how? :D | 05:12 |
| Dr_Willis | !changethemes | catzz | 05:12 |

| catzz | well can i use Compiz? | 05:13 |
| Nyx1 | anyone feel up to helping me fix a wireless card problem? | 05:13 |
| unixalot | thechris: needs help fixing his menuentry for xp with grub2 anyone got any ideas | 05:13 |
| catzz | if emerald is dead :D | 05:14 |
| mobius2 | ubuntu update manager put a very nice video driver on my computer, and now I've broken it. I can't seem to figure out how to put things back how they were. Would it be possible to reinstall the correct driver if I had it on a different hard drive? | 05:14 |
| unixalot | catzz: emerald not dead | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: you most likely are using compiz allready.. and compiz will use the normal gnome themes | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !emerald | 05:14 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 05:14 |
| thechris | unixalot: it might be that the fbsd install messed up something. | 05:14 |
| catzz | o ok | 05:14 |
| thechris | in the past I think I was able to get win32 to boot with fdisk /mbr | 05:14 |
| scottj | !beryl | 05:15 |
| ubottu | Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 05:15 |
| archboxman | thechris: were is the grub file???? | 05:15 |
| unixalot | thechris: yeah mang like, i've never seen the drivemap -s (hd0) ${root} command in a menuentry | 05:15 |
| Xpistos | is anyone else haveing trouble with chromium closing after it launches? Started right after an update. | 05:15 |
| archboxman | thechris: want to see it nothing else | 05:16 |
| Xpistos | chrome is fine, but chromium - not so much | 05:16 |
| archboxman | thechris: I don't want df want menu.lst file nothing else | 05:16 |
| thechris | unixalot: that's the default. trying an old "root (hd0,1); chainloader +1; boot" from the grub cli doesn't work either | 05:16 |
| unixalot | archboxman: he has grub2 he has no menu.lst | 05:16 |
| thechris | and rootnoverify is gone | 05:16 |
| Nyx1 | Xpistos: I haven't been having that issue, 32 or 64 bit? | 05:17 |
| thechris | archboxman: menu.lst no longer exists in grub2 | 05:17 |
| archboxman | unixalot: let me look around be back in a quick second | 05:17 |
| koshari | anyone know why ekee segfaults, on ubuntu karmic with pastebin.com/m70fabd3f ? | 05:17 |
| Xpistos | Nyx1: 32 | 05:17 |
| Xpistos | I just did an update and reboot and now chromium is acting up | 05:17 |
| unixalot | archboxman: http://pastie.org/812107 | 05:17 |
| scunizi | unixalot: archboxman even with grub2 he *does* have a menu.lst but it's dynamically written after each reboot.. | 05:17 |
| rap424 | Can anyone help me with vsftpd giving me a broken pipe error? It only gives this when I am trying to upload files over TLS, but with regular FTP I can download and upload. I have checked my configuration files and nothing has changed | 05:17 |
| ekim | If I want to add a data drive to my linux box, do I need to format it as ext3? Also, when I plugged it in will it get recognized before format? | 05:17 |
| rap424 | It used to work fine a couple days ago | 05:17 |
| unixalot | scunizi: http://pastie.org/812111 | 05:17 |
| unixalot | scunizi: http://pastie.org/812107 | 05:17 |
| Nyx1 | Xpistos: Strange, I can't say I've been having that problem | 05:18 |
| Xpistos | ekim: I like your nick | 05:18 |
| ekim | Xpistos, thanks! | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ekim: it will get 'seen/recognized' so you can then partion/format it as needed. | 05:18 |
| Xpistos | ekim: It is almost my last name. | 05:18 |
| Xpistos | just at ogloy on the end | 05:18 |
| Xpistos | lol | 05:18 |
| Dr_Willis | ekim: then you will want to add a proper entry to the /etc/fstab | 05:18 |
| Xpistos | Nyx1: It just started, it is kind of like what f-spot has been doing if you have the wrong theme engine | 05:19 |
| ekim | Xpistos, well if it is almost, then at least I cant get sued. ;D | 05:19 |
| unixalot | thechris: SHould you hd be (hd0,0) | 05:19 |
| unixalot | or (hd1,0) | 05:19 |
| unixalot | instead of w.e it is | 05:19 |
| Xpistos | ekim: Just don't try and trademark it and we'll be alright. ha! | 05:19 |
| thechris | unixalot: not in grub2, they changed partitions to 1 indexed | 05:20 |
| Nyx1 | Xpistos: Hm, that is weird. Did you do a system update, or update chromium, or both? | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | yea grub2 changed how partions start. (i recall) i never can rember the details.. | 05:20 |
| unixalot | thechris: lmao wow, see im still using jaunty cause i hate grub2 cus you cant just edit menu.lst and fix it | 05:20 |
| steven_ | exit | 05:20 |
| thechris | unixalot: I had tried (hd0,0) from the grub cli and was informed of this. | 05:20 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, not sure what you mean by proper or /etc/fstab....kinda new at this. | 05:20 |
| Xpistos | Well i got a system update notification and nothing looked strange so i did it and then it asked for a reboot | 05:20 |
| unixalot | thechris: yes makes sense they improved something | 05:20 |
| Xpistos | then bam | 05:20 |
| ekim | Xpistos, LOL | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | ekim | 05:20 |
| ubottu | ekim: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:20 |
| scunizi | unixalot: I just came in so I'm not aware of what the problem is.. look like you might have some partitioning issues with the fdisk -l listing.. Your boot partition appears to be sda2 which would be (hd 0,1) | 05:20 |
| unixalot | No he is trying to get his xp to boot | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | with grub2 sda2 = hd0,2 I thought, | 05:21 |
| unixalot | scunizi: his xp wont boot its on sda1 | 05:21 |
| Nyx1 | Xpistos: I can't say I know what's wrong. sorry | 05:21 |
| scunizi | Dr_Willis: grub always starts counting at 0 | 05:21 |
| Xpistos | Nyx1: the only reason I know is becuse I am configuring a server and a vnc | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | scunizi: grub2 changes the # of the partions starting. | 05:21 |
| unixalot | scunizi: even grub2?? | 05:21 |
| Xpistos | Nyx1: No big just seeing if anyone knew anything. thanks for responding btw | 05:22 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, thanks for the link. Will I have to use Putty or something like that to access it from a windows pc? | 05:22 |
| thechris | i'm pretty sure its easier to find a way to run dos's fdisk /mbr, and then fix grub afterwards. | 05:22 |
| Nyx1 | Xpistos: No problem, i have found it difficult sometimes to get people to respond | 05:22 |
| scunizi | unixalot: Dr_Willis grub2 is still a little bit of a mystery to me.. grub 1 started counting at 0.. not sure what grub2 starts counting at.. | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ekim: to access what? fstab is a config file you edit however you want. | 05:22 |
| Dr_Willis | scunizi: thats one BIG change in grub2 that confuses people. thats why i mentioned it. :) | 05:22 |
| unixalot | thechris: grub2 starts counting at whatever the partition is or something | 05:22 |
| archboxman | thechris: did you do update-grub2 in the command line | 05:22 |
| thechris | scunizi: for whatever reason, partitions are 1 indexed while devices are still 0 indexed) | 05:23 |
| scunizi | Dr_Willis: ah.. :) | 05:23 |
| thechris | archboxman: yes | 05:23 |
| unixalot | archboxman: yea i told him to, does he have to sudo that command?? | 05:23 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, to access the h/d once I put my data on it. I will need to access files from a windows pc also. | 05:23 |
| scunizi | thechris: nothing like a little confusion between releases. | 05:23 |
| thechris | unixalot: i would assume. | 05:23 |
| unixalot | thechris: you did sudo it lol eh? | 05:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ekim: then you will want to make a samba share, or use winscp to access it | 05:23 |
| iiz | Hello. I have a question about sata drives. I have 5 drives plugged into my motherboard sata ports. 4 of them show up as /dev/sd* the 5th drive shows up as /dev/hdd. I also have 1 old pata drive for boot. Is it a bad thing that one sata drive is showing up as an hd*? | 05:24 |
| thechris | unixalot: I assumed i would have to | 05:24 |
| Dr_Willis | iiz: sounds like a quirk in the bios. | 05:24 |
| archboxman | thechris: run this command? apt-get install os-prober auto update for grub2 | 05:25 |
| iiz | Dr_willis thanks will check the settings. | 05:25 |
| unixalot | thechris: I know the boot flag on sda2 shouldnt matter to grub | 05:25 |
| unixalot | archboxman: hows archbox treatin yeah? | 05:25 |
| Dr_Willis | iiz: i doubt if it hurts anything. | 05:25 |
| Nyx1 | I have this wireless card: 00:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) that has been giving me trouble. When I try to pull it up with ifconfig, I get this error : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132 . I have tried reinstalling the driver, compiling the driver, and using the ndiswrapper driver. Any suggestions or bright ideas? I would really like to get the wireless to work. It randomly worked | 05:26 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, okay, I will check that out too. Thx. | 05:26 |
| archboxman | unixalot: work great lot of confige files... some software not quite uptodate and others ahead of the curve ... just waiting for archlinux to make google-gadgets available... | 05:26 |
| unixalot | archboxman: yeah im still using 9.04, am tempted to install debain but some guys just realeased alpha drivers for osx so i might try that out | 05:27 |
| unixalot | archboxman: for my wireless card | 05:27 |
| unixalot | archboxman: osx was installed but what good is it without wirelss lol.. so i might try again with this new driver, only supports unencrypted networks atm | 05:28 |
| chelz | Nyx1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide | 05:28 |
| archboxman | unixalot: it seems like archlinux keeps abreast of all cutting edge software... didn't even know firefox had a new release.. | 05:28 |
| Nyx1 | chelz: thanks | 05:28 |
| chelz | iiz: not at all, that's fine | 05:29 |
| unixalot | archboxman: i only use firefox for the downthemall plugin cus i got rapidshare premmy | 05:29 |
| semitones | adventures in lubuntu -- I've accidentally removed the logoff icon from the panel -- and there appears to be no option to put it back! argh | 05:29 |
| chelz | unixalot: check out JDownloader | 05:29 |
| unixalot | chelz: downthemall is about ten time better | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | semitones: see #lubuntu :) | 05:29 |
| unixalot | chelz: imo | 05:29 |
| chelz | semitones: right click "add to panel"? | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu uses the lxpanel i think | 05:30 |
| chelz | unixalot: ah, loading up firefox is quite a lot compared to jD, for me at least | 05:30 |
| archboxman | unixalot: still waiting to see what becomes of apt-fast in ubuntu or debian?? | 05:30 |
| semitones | Dr_Willis: i'm already there :) thought there might be insight to gain by coming here too | 05:30 |
| unixalot | chelz: I dont like how its java.. and the ease of use of downthemall built into firefox is a convenience for me | 05:30 |
| chelz | oh lubuntu is a thing, i thought people were just calling ubuntu lubuntu | 05:30 |
| chelz | unixalot: ah that's fine. as long as you've tried it. i personally really like it | 05:30 |
| Gryllida | Hi. | 05:30 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis, I'm not up on the latest hardware, so forgive me... If I want to build a PC for Ubuntu that incorporates a SATA RAID controller, should that be an issue on install? | 05:30 |
| unixalot | chelz: my experience with it was constant freezingall the time | 05:31 |
| unixalot | chelz: besides the fact its ugly | 05:31 |
| chelz | archboxman: ubuntuzilla is what i use to keep current with firefox on ubuntu | 05:31 |
| semitones | chelz: that's what I'm trying, but "logoff button" doesn't seem to be an option unfortunately | 05:31 |
| scunizi | archboxman: there's also a daily PPA for FF.. | 05:31 |
| chelz | scunizi: that's a dev thing though, not really stable releases | 05:31 |
| xangua | scunizi: better try 'firefox-stable ppa' | 05:32 |
| unixalot | I dont dig daily builds, too many bugs | 05:32 |
| scunizi | chelz: true.. but it works for me.. :).. I haven't had any issues with it. | 05:32 |
| unixalot | scunizi: i'd rather use a nightly build than a daily lol | 05:32 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, sorry for another dumb question but what do I call that data drive? | 05:33 |
| catzz | Hello i have driver for scaner Canon Pixma mp 270 on disc! But it is for windows can i some how install it on ubuntu? | 05:33 |
| Gryllida | I know Ubuntu 10.4 will come on April 29th. It is going to be Long-Term-Support. Should I wait for it? Or should I install 9.10 Short-Term-Support and than update to 10.4 L-T-S later? When updating, will I have to install my favorite applications (LyX, for example) from scratch? | 05:33 |
| xangua | Gryllida: if you use hardy, better wait | 05:34 |
| chelz | catzz: ubuntu and other linux distros only really use windows wireless drivers, otherwise all drivers are specific to linux | 05:34 |
| catzz | so i can just install from CD? | 05:34 |
| iiz | chelz thanks i wasn't sure it cought me off guard when i saw it :) | 05:34 |
| chelz | Gryllida: LTS to LTS is probably better | 05:34 |
| archboxman | chelz: not really looking to keep track of software updates... I do trends analysis not software analysis... I track CES 2010 and xbox, ps3, electronics, 3d lcd, usb 3.0 and other data.... | 05:35 |
| Dr_Willis | ekim: Mount it whever you want under whatever name you want.. ie: /media/VacationPics | 05:35 |
| unixalot | w00t ps3 | 05:35 |
| ekim | Dr_Willis, okay...I think I got it. | 05:35 |
| _schism_ | evening all | 05:35 |
| chelz | archboxman: then just use what ubuntu provides :) | 05:35 |
| catzz | so i can just install from CD? | 05:35 |
| catzz | drivers | 05:36 |
| unixalot | !emerald | 05:36 |
| ubottu | emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: the drives may allready be in the repos | 05:36 |
| chelz | catzz: no, ubuntu will probably already have the drivers. try plugging in the device and using a photo manager application with it. | 05:36 |
| archboxman | chelz: forget ubuntu its to bloated I use archlinux :) | 05:36 |
| chelz | archboxman: you're in the wrong channel then, and that's offtopic :P | 05:36 |
| _schism_ | anyone know of a way to get 7 to read a ubuntu 9.10 partition? Google has had me install more stuff that has screwd up 7 and makes me happier than ever I dont have to use it much but..... | 05:36 |
| unixalot | Funny cause i use emerald and like it, a lot more then the compiz window decorator | 05:36 |
| catzz | there are only PIXMA MP220 i have PIXMA MP 270 | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I wonder if emerald is even in the next release repos. | 05:37 |
| unixalot | Lol, probly not.. | 05:37 |
| chelz | _schism_: there is an ext2 driver for windows but support for non-ubuntu stuff is not provided here. try #windows | 05:37 |
| archboxman | chelz: software usually just gets the idea of pimp my software and add-on crazy... look at googles chormium... | 05:37 |
| macman_ | how do you change the filename / label of an iso ? | 05:37 |

| unixalot | Dr_Willis: i recently found this site, you select your ubuntu version, then select all the app's you want and ti creates customized sources.list | 05:37 |
| _schism_ | chelz thank you sir just trying to get back over to ubuntu as fast as possible and need a file off my ~ | 05:38 |
| Gryllida | " <xangua>Gryllida: if you use hardy, better wait" I 'm not using Linux yet, I'm going to install it - just I don't know whether now or in May and what version | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | unixalot: the ubuntu-tweak tool does a similer thing | 05:38 |
| scunizi | macman_: right mouse click and "rename" | 05:38 |
| _schism_ | semitones thank you sir I will look at it and see what happens | 05:38 |
| unixalot | unixalot: im using jaunty, my ubuntu tweak is not pro like in karmic | 05:38 |
| semitones | _schism_: that driver will help you if you have an ext ubuntu partition | 05:38 |
| Gryllida | "xangua: Gryllida: if you use hardy, better wait LTS to LTS is probably better" I 'm not using Linux yet, I'm going to install it - just I don't know whether now or in May and what version. What suggestions do you have? | 05:39 |
| chelz | Gryllida: you could look into the differences between LTS and non-LTS releases and decide based on that. for most people, normal releases are fine though. | 05:39 |
| _schism_ | semitones: yep it is on the same hard drive just a different partition | 05:39 |
| Gryllida | " differences between LTS and non-LTS releases " - where can I find them | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !lts | 05:39 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 05:39 |
| xangua | Gryllida: if you like it then install karmic koala, there are still 3 more months left to lucid lynx | 05:39 |
| chelz | Gryllida: at least you could setup a dual-boot and if it doesn't work then wait for the next LTS | 05:40 |
| chelz | Gryllida: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 05:40 |
| scunizi | Gryllida: you got the link for LTS.. the releases in between can be great or problemmatic.. | 05:40 |
| catzz | What should i do if ubuntu has only PIXMA MP 220 driver when i have printer PIXMA MP270 | 05:40 |
| Gryllida | Great or problematic? These are antonyms. | 05:41 |
| scunizi | Gryllida: yep... just depends.. in-between LTS releases you can expect to experience the growing pains of new features, technologies, etc.. | 05:42 |
| r0b0tchicken | On a P4 2.66ghz, with 1gb of ram, (karmic), I am currently running pidgin with a yahoo accnt and irc , listening to an mp3 off a usb hd in totem, and i have a conky script monitoring things. I have 65mb of ram free. Is that normal? top ram usage is pidgin at 5.87% which is about 58mb. | 05:42 |
| catzz | What should i do if ubuntu has only PIXMA MP 220 driver when i have printer PIXMA MP270? | 05:42 |
| chelz | r0b0tchicken: do you have a functioning swap partition? | 05:42 |
| scottj | what's the diff between aptitude and apt-get? is aptitude just a combination of apt-get and soem features from dpkg? | 05:42 |
| blakkheim | r0b0tchicken: free -m | grep buffers | 05:43 |
| scottj | !aptitude | 05:43 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 05:43 |
| Gryllida | catzz: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010753.asp | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: theck the cups.org and guttenprint sites to see what drivers the thing needs/uses.. I for one am never going to buy canon again they dont support linux very well | 05:43 |
| xangua | r0b0tchicken: that's not normal indeed :S | 05:43 |
| r0b0tchicken | blakkheim, used 324 free 677 | 05:43 |
| blakkheim | you have 677mb of free ram then | 05:43 |
| blakkheim | ;\ | 05:44 |
| ouyes | r0b0tchicken, i suggest you turn to xubuntu, it is faster tham gnome, | 05:44 |
| blakkheim | ouyes: barely | 05:44 |
| chelz | catzz: scanning drivers are supposedly included with scanning software scangearmp | 05:44 |
| Gryllida | catzz: here it is: MP270_debian_driver_pack.tar http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0037268.asp?model= | 05:44 |
| r0b0tchicken | blakkheim, thank you for the education, i was relying too much on a conky script... :P | 05:44 |
| ouyes | r0b0tchicken, you have a p4 506 cpu right? | 05:44 |
| r0b0tchicken | ouyes what do you mean 506? | 05:44 |
| catzz | Niiiice!!!! Thanks a lot guys! | 05:44 |
| catzz | :) | 05:44 |
| ouyes | blakkheim, what you mean barely? | 05:44 |
| semitones | ouyes: I was just disillusioned recently -- they're very similar in terms of performance. lxde, on the other hand, is faster, albeit not as pretty | 05:44 |
| Gryllida | catzz, thanks to me or to whom? | 05:44 |
| blakkheim | ouyes: xubuntu is also very bloated | 05:45 |
| timboy | is there a channel for intel macs running ubuntu? | 05:45 |
| unixalot | semitones: lxde is so ug, stick with gnome | 05:45 |
| catzz | for you specialy! | 05:45 |
| ouyes | r0b0tchicken, your cpu type is p4 506, 2.66GHz | 05:45 |
| catzz | really helped! :) | 05:45 |
| r0b0tchicken | ouyes , correct | 05:45 |
| semitones | ouyes: blakkheim: it didn't always use to be this way. xubuntu was once lightweight | 05:45 |
| r0b0tchicken | but when i ran free/m it said free 56mb, thats what freaked me out | 05:46 |
| semitones | unixalot: but gnome makes firefox go sooo sloooow | 05:46 |
| _schism_ | lxde is real light and runs very well | 05:46 |
| unixalot | semitones: use chrome | 05:46 |
| xangua | semitones: xubuntu is light, yo ujsut have to desactivate gnome and kde services ;) | 05:46 |
| semitones | unixalot: I use chrome. same problem | 05:46 |
| r0b0tchicken | i have experienced hard locks in 9.04 and 9.10, when i was doing hardly anything at all, just a few things open. i guess i should mention i have a geforce 6200 as well | 05:46 |
| chelz | Gryllida: when 10.04 gets released, upgrading from 8.04 will be similar to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#Upgrade%20from%206.06%20LTS%20to%208.04%20LTS | 05:47 |
| ouyes | semitones, blakkheim r0b0tchicken i have been using gnome xfce, i feel xfce is faster than gnome,but gnome is more beautiful | 05:47 |
| semitones | xangua: thanks for the tip :) services such as what? | 05:47 |
| blakkheim | xangua: "light" is subjective, i believe xubuntu is not light at all | 05:47 |
| merma | gnome > xfce | 05:47 |
| scunizi | ouyes: check out kde 4.3 / 4.3 | 05:47 |
| scunizi | 4.4 | 05:47 |
| unixalot | gnome is as light as i'll go | 05:47 |
| merma | gnome > kde | 05:47 |
| unixalot | I dont care if its 'slow' | 05:47 |
| joe75 | gnome ftw | 05:47 |
| chelz | r0b0tchicken: do you have a functioning swap partition? | 05:47 |
| unixalot | ITs fast enuff for me | 05:47 |
| semitones | ouyes: I also use xfce, and it defintely is faster, just not xubuntu in general is faster than ubuntu | 05:47 |
| xangua | semitones: don't remember, but there was an option to desactivate them and #wow, my used ram turned half | 05:47 |
| unixalot | and 10x better than kde | 05:47 |
| r0b0tchicken | chelz i have a swap of ~600mb, but i have it monitored in a conky script and usage always = 0 | 05:48 |
| ouyes | scunizi, why, gnome is slow to me, why try kde? | 05:48 |
| semitones | xangua: awesome! If you could find where it is I'd really like to do that | 05:48 |
| merma | im considering switching to a tiling wm | 05:48 |
| merma | or integrating a tiling wm in gnome | 05:48 |
| xangua | semitones: a long time i don't use xfce :S | 05:48 |
| semitones | :) | 05:48 |
| edomeda | hey guys, can someone please help me out with compiz setting. I'm trying to set it where I can rotate the desktop cube (viewports) by using the scroll wheel on a empty desktop space ONLY. I can get it to rotate all the time (even on open windows) via rotate cube bindings, but I want only when scroll wheel is used on empty desktop... any help? | 05:48 |
| scunizi | ouyes: if gnome is slow then kde will be close.. crunchbang will be faster by far. better then xubuntu xfce | 05:48 |
| psycho_oreos | semitones, you can get xubuntu or xubuntu-desktop | 05:48 |
| ouyes | semitones, yes the case is not in general, but in 9.10 it is | 05:48 |
| timboy | have a macbook pro 5,5 and brightness won't go down... :( | 05:48 |
| psycho_oreos | !xubuntu | 05:48 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 05:48 |
| titan_ark | unixalot: why do you feel they are better than kde? | 05:49 |
| merma | gnome can do the same job without the bloat | 05:49 |
| merma | and i hate the kde peanut | 05:49 |
| unixalot | kde is ugly | 05:49 |
| unixalot | gnome is so slick imo | 05:49 |
| merma | indeed | 05:49 |
| unixalot | so simple.. | 05:49 |
| chelz | edomeda: if that isn't supported by compiz natively, it would be hard to do | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | C64 Geos was Slicker then | 05:49 |
| tsimpson | !ot | 05:49 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:49 |
| unixalot | what more could anyone want | 05:49 |
| chelz | edomeda: you could try asking the compiz people | 05:49 |
| semitones | unixalot: you seem to have a very specific criteria for beauty :P | 05:49 |
| unixalot | why change a good thing like xfce, i know why people use it for speed reasons | 05:50 |
| edomeda | chelz, um, yeah, I've done it in previous releases. Something in 9.10 changed | 05:50 |
| titan_ark | unixalot: i seem to like the kde interface, but i have to admit the gnome and xfce interfaces are easier to use. and this is the opinion of a n00b | 05:50 |
| unixalot | Lol.. | 05:50 |
| merma | kde has a nice theme ...... but their UI layout is horrible | 05:50 |
| semitones | unixalot: but I agree, kde doesn't look very pretty imo | 05:50 |
| chelz | edomeda: are you using the compiz settings tool? | 05:50 |
| unixalot | titan_ark: I just like the looks / simplicity of gnome in general | 05:50 |
| edomeda | chelz, yes (not the simple one though) | 05:50 |
| unixalot | semitones: and gnome-do, not that you cant run it in kde | 05:50 |
| archboxman | edomeda: what are you talking about do in compiz that has changed??? | 05:50 |
| merma | and kde is fille with warning messages everywhere | 05:50 |
| xangua | !ot | 05:51 |
| xangua | go to the offtopic channel people | 05:51 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:51 |
| edomeda | archboxman, not sure what you said | 05:51 |
| ouyes | scunizi, i have never tried kde but iwill one day when i get a faster cpu, now my cpu is p7370 2.0GHz, it is slow to running mutil tasks in one time in ubuntu(gnome) | 05:51 |
| r0b0tchicken | blakkheim, so why does free /m show only ~50mb of ram free, but the command you gave me show 624? | 05:51 |
| archboxman | edomeda: what has changed in your compiz???? | 05:51 |
| blakkheim | r0b0tchicken: dunno | 05:51 |
| titan_ark | unixalot: :) | 05:51 |
| titan_ark | xangua: i apologize | 05:52 |
| unixalot | ouyes: turn off compiz? | 05:52 |
| edomeda | archboxman, the ability to rotate the cube (viewports) by using the scroll wheel on mouse up/down on the empty desktop | 05:52 |
| unixalot | *me only uses compiz for wobbly windowzzz | 05:52 |
| * unixalot epic fail | 05:52 | |
| joe75 | :P | 05:52 |
| chelz | edomeda: it could be a change due to a newer version of compiz | 05:52 |
| scunizi | ouyes: you like what you like and trying the one's that interest you is the only way to find what pleases you best.. it's all about what *you* like | 05:52 |
| ouyes | unimatrix, i do not know if i have turned on compiz, but i have set the visual effect to medium | 05:53 |
| merma | im so excited to see how people in ubuntu will react to the gnome shell | 05:53 |
| archboxman | edomeda: you didn't set up compiz cube right was do you have turned on?? | 05:53 |
| unixalot | ouyes: if you have a crappy processor turn it rite off | 05:53 |
| === brianherman_ is now known as brianherman | ||
| unixalot | ouyes: like visual effects to none | 05:53 |
| r0b0tchicken | for example, right now i only have conky and pigin opened, and free shows 1026484 total, 950100 used, 76384 free, 0 shared, 255052 buffers, and 382576 cached, and swap shows 610428 total, 0 used, 610428 free. im just wondering if there is something i can ~fix? | 05:54 |
| timboy | is there a channel for intel macs running ubuntu? | 05:54 |
| unixalot | timboy: teh hardware is the same? | 05:54 |
| semitones | timboy: that would probably be here | 05:54 |
| === unionizer is now known as Ubee | ||
| edomeda | archboxman, yes, and I can rotate with ctl-alt-mouse1 as before. Also ctl-alt-left_arrow and right_arrow works. Just the mouse rotate on desktop stopped working in 9.10 | 05:54 |
| timboy | can't get my brighness to adjust unixalot semitones | 05:54 |
| unixalot | does anyone have any leet scripts they'd like to share with me | 05:55 |
| Josh90 | I think this may be weird but I still learning. I made another user on my account log in to it and tried using sudo nautilus of course it would let me. But it said that someone will be notified just wondering how do I get notified | 05:55 |
| archboxman | edomeda: hold on | 05:55 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: linux manages memory differently.. just because it looks like it's eating your ram don't worry about it. | 05:55 |
| chelz | timboy: what hardware? | 05:55 |
| Ubee | Good evening everyone. | 05:55 |
| xangua | timboy: are you using karmic¿ | 05:55 |
| semitones | timboy: using the function keys for brightness? | 05:55 |
| timboy | using karmic macbook pro 5,5 | 05:55 |
| edomeda | archboxman, I'm sure it's a plugin setting, but I cannot find it for the life of me. | 05:55 |
| unixalot | xangua: do your function keys work ?? | 05:55 |
| timboy | semitones, tried function keys and the brightness applet | 05:55 |
| unixalot | timboy: do your function keys work?? | 05:55 |
| r0b0tchicken | scunizi, you have me pegged i was thinking "geez whats wrong here??", but i am trying to troubleshoot random hard-locks also. | 05:56 |
| timboy | unixalot, yes | 05:56 |
| semitones | unixalot: I just asked him that :) | 05:56 |
| xangua | unixalot: mime yes, but i don't use a macbook | 05:56 |
| Ubee | Does anyone know how I can download google repositories? | 05:56 |
| nick125 | What the heck. Any ideas why aptitude is trying to pull in a bunch of old kernels? | 05:56 |
| semitones | hmm, does anybody else know if macbook pros have a problem with brightness on ubuntu? | 05:56 |
| timboy | all function keys work even KB backlight dims fine | 05:56 |
| maco | nick125: you could ask it | 05:56 |
| maco | nick125: aptitude why <package name> | 05:56 |
| unixalot | timboy: so the fn key for turning display brightness up fails? | 05:56 |
| archboxman | edomeda: go into ccsm go to cub look at the tab for bindings and rotote cub... | 05:56 |
| nick125 | maco: I'm in the (n)curses UI | 05:57 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: that's an entirely different issue.. you might have to check your logs to figure that one out.. /var/logs for the list of different one.. which one to look at ? there I'd be lost | 05:57 |
| timboy | unixalot, the gui meter changes VERY SLOWLY but brightness never increases or decreases | 05:57 |
| archboxman | edomeda: ccsm > rotatoe cube > tab bindings > rotate cube | 05:57 |
| r0b0tchicken | scunizi, thank you for the pointers, all help appreciated | 05:57 |
| unixalot | timboy: and you tried your power management options? | 05:57 |
| timboy | unixalot, no | 05:57 |
| neex | can anyone help me discover why my linux machine is doing dozens of dns requests a second? | 05:58 |
| maco | nick125: ok | 05:58 |
| maco | nick125: umm.... | 05:58 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: you running gnome? what kind of video card? | 05:58 |
| chelz | timboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-3/Karmic#Keyboard | 05:58 |
| unixalot | timboy: system >> prefrences >> power management | 05:58 |
| r0b0tchicken | scunizi yes, geforce 6200 agp | 05:58 |
| chelz | timboy: or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro6-1/Karmic#Keyboard | 05:58 |
| edomeda | archboxman, tried that one, it always rotates the cube (even if an app is in the foreground) Before, it only would rotate when you used it on the desktop. Just like window maker and many other WMs do. | 05:58 |
| nick125 | Ugh. This is going badly. If I try to remove that particular version of linux-image, it tries to remove the headers, which tries to remove libc and coreutils | 05:59 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: and did you activate the driver in System>admin>hardware drivers? | 05:59 |
| r0b0tchicken | scunzi, yes | 05:59 |
| maco | nick125: i dont think you can use "why" in the tui | 05:59 |
| ouyes | unixalot, you chose gnome because you want its beauty, then for a better performance you disable something beautiful, then why not turn to xfce, it is another kind of beauty but a good performance, sometimes we just can not simply comprimise | 05:59 |
| r0b0tchicken | and i have compiz set to "none" | 05:59 |
| chelz | timboy: kind of outdated but might work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Jaunty#Keyboard | 05:59 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: the 173's or 185 driver | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | i find xfce lacking in features i want/need | 05:59 |
| timboy | chelz, been there nothing says anything about screen brightness adjustment not working... | 05:59 |
| r0b0tchicken | 185 but i will double-check | 05:59 |
| archboxman | edomeda: intiate shoud show ctrl+alt+button1 for mouse yes no ??? | 05:59 |
| timboy | unixalot, what do I do in power management gui? | 06:00 |
| unixalot | ouyes: my comp runs fine with visual effects cranked full.. my laptop, im suggesting for you who has trouble multi tasking to turn visual effects off | 06:00 |
| r0b0tchicken | yes scunizi 185 | 06:00 |
| unixalot | timboy: there is probably a settings for backlit | 06:00 |
| chelz | timboy: the section i linked you to on all pages is " Keyboard functions (Brightness,volume,...) ". those steps need to be done to make brightness work. | 06:00 |
| scunizi | r0b0tchicken: try switching to the other one and see what happens.. | 06:00 |
| timboy | chelz, fn keys work fine | 06:00 |
| echosystm | anyone know how i can get 3 monitors in linux? | 06:00 |
| edomeda | archboxman, yes, it is. That is a different rotate as well. That is for using the cube with ctl-alt-button1 and drag left/right. This was a simple scroll wheel to empty desktop that caused the same effect as ctl-alt-left arrow or ctl-alt-right arrow | 06:01 |
| unixalot | echosystm: plug them in and go to the display panel | 06:01 |
| echosystm | its not that easy | 06:01 |
| r0b0tchicken | ok. it was locking up for seemingly no reason, at random times, i just disabled compiz yesterday, didn't even know i had it on, only had the wobbly windows enabled, but it has not locked up since then, next time it locks i will downgrade the driver, i couldn't even play 3d chess without hard-lock | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: with a nvidia card that has 3 conections it is... | 06:01 |
| timboy | unixalot, think it's video driver issue? should I try different video driver? | 06:01 |
| scottbot | Edit your Xorg.conf | 06:01 |
| unixalot | echosystm: my question to you is, do you really need 3 diplays? | 06:01 |
| echosystm | what nvidia card has 3 connections? | 06:01 |
| echosystm | yes | 06:02 |
| unixalot | timboy: What is your gfx card integrated?? | 06:02 |
| catzz | Hello! Where to get emerald theme editor? | 06:02 |
| r0b0tchicken | my 6200 has 3, two monitor outs and a component/svideo out | 06:02 |
| catzz | what command? | 06:02 |
| catzz | sudo -apt get.. | 06:02 |
| timboy | echosystm, ati cards have up to 4 outputs | 06:02 |
| r0b0tchicken | also, if you have an onboard vid out that one would work as well | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres also usb vga out adaptors | 06:02 |
| joe75 | echosystm: every nv card :P | 06:02 |
| echosystm | svideo isnt going to be very useful for a monitor | 06:02 |

| unixalot | nyaa_: depends how big the iso is really?? | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: where you select themes for emerald.. in the icons/menus somewhere. | 06:03 |
| catzz | i have no! | 06:03 |
| echosystm | anyway | 06:03 |
| r0b0tchicken | joe75 hehe, i use component out actually, but didnt wanna get into all that lol | 06:03 |
| chelz | nyaa_: it should work if the iso is good | 06:03 |
| catzz | maybe some command in terminal? | 06:03 |
| nyaa_ | unixalot it's 600 megs or so, it just hangs at "preparing to write" | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: check package manager or icons again. | 06:03 |
| chelz | !emerald | catzz | 06:04 |
| ubottu | catzz: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: install/use Fusion-icon tool also. it makes things easier | 06:04 |
| bazhang | catzz, emerald is no longer supported nor developed | 06:04 |
| catzz | can i download it? | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | the same tool you use to install emerald themes - is the tool you can use to make new themes | 06:04 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: you said brasero rite? | 06:04 |
| hookworm24 | just downloaded an application, when i open it i get an error message saying there is no application installed for executable files. what program do i need to make this work? | 06:04 |
| archboxman | edomeda: figured out how to put it back | 06:04 |
| nyaa_ | unixalot yup | 06:04 |
| catzz | ok how to install Fusion? | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: learn to use teh package manager.. search for 'fusion-icon' install it | 06:05 |
| drhe|skt | how do you change the universal time zone in ubuntu in command prompt? | 06:05 |
| nyaa_ | unixalot I don't know how else to do an image to install ubuntu on the other pc | 06:05 |
| Dr_Willis | catzz: then run it | 06:05 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: it shouldnt have a problem burning iso's to a disc | 06:05 |
| archboxman | edomeda: easy solution | 06:05 |
| edomeda | archboxman, you did? I've been searching for hours now. :) | 06:05 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: make sure the burn speed is set low? | 06:05 |
| archboxman | edomeda: I don't search I play :) | 06:05 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: hopefully its a clean disc | 06:05 |
| echosystm | xrandr only supports single gpu, ati dont have eyefinity for linux yet, and im pretty sure there arent any nivida cards with 2xDVI + 1xHDMI | 06:05 |
| drhe|skt | oh never mind. im sure you are not supposed to change universal time zone time. | 06:06 |
| DrManhattan | I wish I could run all 3 video sources at one on nvidia | 06:06 |
| timboy | echosystm, what is eyefinity? | 06:06 |
| DrManhattan | thats a real bummer | 06:06 |
| archboxman | edomeda: first off you want to use the scroll well and ctl+alt correct to rotate the screen around left and right?? yes/no | 06:06 |
| archboxman | well=whell | 06:06 |
| archboxman | well=wheel | 06:06 |
| echosystm | google it timboy | 06:06 |
| echosystm | so, basically is it correct to say that if you want 3 monitors on linux, you have to use xinerama? | 06:07 |
| edomeda | archboxman, I just want the old method of switch viewports, using the scroll wheel on any empty desktop space. Rotate cube works but I don't want it to rotate the cube if I'm trying scroll a webpage in firefox for example. | 06:07 |
| timboy | echosystm, have to wait another 3 minutes until flash is installed before my gay browser will start working again... | 06:07 |
| chelz | drhe|skt: man date | 06:07 |
| archboxman | edomeda: ok got u | 06:07 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: or twinview if you want a wide desktoo | 06:08 |
| rosco | i need help getting DSL on an old laptop. i booted DSL form a bootfloppy and redirected to a usb flash drive ... it is asking for KNopppix. but i have xp. aaand, i'll have to put knoppix in c:/. goal: XP off machine and xubuntu running next week | 06:08 |
| Bravewolf | I've put some new latex packages in ~/texmf. The problem is that the latex compiler doesn't see them. What have I to do? thanks | 06:08 |
| echosystm | Dr_Willis, read my last comment - i cant find any nvidia cards that have 3 outputs | 06:08 |
| chelz | timboy: interesting slur choice for a mac user | 06:08 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: how long has it been doing this like, everytime, possibly is the iso?? have check the hash | 06:08 |
| Dr_Willis | echosystm: check the hardware/catalogs.. several peole in here said they had them. | 06:09 |
| timboy | not a mac user. per say.. I use linux on an apple laptop | 06:09 |
| Josh901 | I made another user on my account log in to it and tried using sudo nautilus of course it would let me. But it said that someone will be notified just wondering how do I get notified | 06:09 |
| nyaa_ | unixalot every time I try, even if the iso is somehow downloaded wrong, it should still try to burn it to the disk right? | 06:09 |
| timboy | not my fault if no pc manufacturer has hardware this nice... | 06:09 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: yeah it should burn anything that is formated as .iso | 06:09 |
| echosystm | Dr_Willis: several people had no idea what they were talking about :P | 06:09 |

| nyaa_ | unixalot then it's some issue with my burner or brasero or something, heh. | 06:10 |
| echosystm | timboy, using linux on a macbook is a bad idea | 06:10 |
| timboy | lol ok echosystm | 06:10 |
| scunizi | courpse: you must be on windows.. there.s no "registry" in linux perse | 06:10 |
| proxy332619 | hack bank site | 06:11 |
| courpse | scunizi, I'm well aware on on ubuntu thanks... | 06:11 |
| unixalot | nyaa_: yeah it could have problems with your burner,, kinda weird tho | 06:11 |
| timboy | echosystm, sucks for me because I don't own mac os nor will I ever | 06:11 |
| unixalot | does it recognize a disc when you put it in nyaa_ | 06:11 |
| echosystm | well, just for your information, running linux on a macbook can kill it | 06:11 |
| joe75 | lol | 06:11 |
| unixalot | who buys a macbook? | 06:11 |
| joe75 | how so? | 06:11 |
| nyaa_ | unixalot yeah it recognizes that it's a blank disc | 06:11 |
| chelz | neex: monitor netstat and see what's doing it | 06:11 |
| chelz | scunizi: there is the gnome registry thing | 06:12 |
| archboxman | edomeda: I personelly dont like that it gets my window stuck... not a good feature for me... :( | 06:12 |

| echosystm | no its not joe75 | 06:12 |
| gtr | Hello . How do i give all users access to xchat ? | 06:12 |
| courpse | chelz, So you think reinstalling gnome might be a go? | 06:12 |
| joe75 | sure it is | 06:12 |
| echosystm | if you know anything about macs, you would know theyre not | 06:12 |
| scunizi | chelz: sort of.. it's not a registry in the windows sense. | 06:12 |
| zetheroo | unixalot: who buys a macbook? what kinda Q is that? | 06:12 |

| timboy | echosystm, linux can kill any system. Had a t61 that it killed wireless broadcom card on... | 06:12 |
| echosystm | its not standard pc hardware, go ask in #apple | 06:12 |
| chelz | courpse: sudo apt-get remove frei0r-plugins | 06:12 |
| unixalot | zetheroo: who spends 2 grand for a laptop with shitty hardware | 06:12 |
| joe75 | im on osx right now | 06:13 |
| edomeda | archboxman, not it. That still rotates the cube even if I'm not on an empty desktop space. So if you try that inside firefox, it'd rotate your cube. | 06:13 |
| chelz | courpse: that might fix it | 06:13 |
| Flannel | proxy332619: Because that's offtopic, stupid, *and* illegal. Go away. | 06:13 |

| chelz | rosco: if you want DSL then go to their IRC channel. this channel if for ubuntu | 06:14 |
| proxy332619 | where from,u? | 06:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Rockj: try the DSL forums/homepage/channel? | 06:14 |

| echosystm | linux has no support for SMC joe75 | 06:14 |
| zetheroo | unixalot: agreed ... Apple over-charge ... but their hardware is not "sh*ty" ... and the OS is no where near as bad as Winowz | 06:14 |

| rick_ | i used to be able to play avi files flawlessly on my laptop but once i installed and uninstall openshot for some reason the audio is choppy now. any ideas anyone? | 06:15 |
| Flannel | philien: Which flyers? | 06:15 |
| unixalot | zetheroo: why would you buy a mac when you can buy a laptop with a 260m in it for less | 06:15 |
| ouyes | unixalot, why never, it is good but not well supported by ubuntu | 06:15 |
| zetheroo | echosystm: where did you get that information from? | 06:15 |
| chelz | rosco: you could try (x)ubuntu. or puppy linux. | 06:15 |
| joe75 | you are carzy, echosystm | 06:15 |
| courpse | chelz, Aight, it removed, but my problem still stays. | 06:15 |

| zetheroo | unixalot: that is not really the point... you are generalising about their hardware being crap ... | 06:16 |
| unixalot | ouyes: I'd rather buy a sweet acer notebook or a sager if you ask me, 10x better hardware and just as expensive | 06:16 |
| echosystm | most mac users dont know these things though, because they are blind fanboys | 06:16 |

| archboxman | edomeda: I going to turn off that feature sorry like tab windows better | 06:21 |
| Guest1436 | who r u to say that? | 06:22 |

| mystica555 | try what particularly? | 06:22 |
| chelz | mystica555: the thing you do on gentoo | 06:22 |
| mystica555 | eselect is a gentoo script that changes a number of different systems | 06:22 |
| unixalot | sup | 06:22 |
| mystica555 | ubuntu doesn't have it :\ | 06:23 |
| chelz | courpse: i've seen that same issue earlier today but the person never responded after i told them about the libvisual-0.4-plugins thing | 06:23 |
| * unixalot will brb | 06:23 | |
| courpse | :/ | 06:23 |
| bazhang | mystica555, use the package manager synaptic or apt-get / aptitude | 06:23 |
| obiwan_ | guys i'm trying to do something like this to remove the first two words of a list of files with those words in their name. mv $(ls -1) $(ls -1 | sed 's/\(The\ Words\)\(.*\)/\2/') but it doesn't work. I want to do my own script exactly with thiose kind of commands, could anybody help me out? thanks :) | 06:23 |
| mystica555 | bazhang, but is it literally uninstall the packages and install the others? | 06:24 |
| mystica555 | or can they both exist at the same point, but somehow the symlinks be managed by a utility? | 06:24 |
| bazhang | mystica555, certainly is | 06:24 |
| mystica555 | (to the opengl module) | 06:24 |
| maco | obiwan_: have you heard about the "rename" command? | 06:24 |
| chelz | courpse: try purging gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad | 06:24 |
| unixalot | obiwan_: i got a easy solution for you | 06:25 |
| mystica555 | i was under the impression that ubuntu was "automagic" to the point where it would notice that the video drivers changed, and then have the opengl modules change too.. | 06:25 |
| obiwan_ | yeah maco, but i said i want to use my own script | 06:25 |
| courpse | chelz, Cant find package. | 06:25 |
| maco | obiwan_: you could make it a very short script ;) | 06:25 |
| mystica555 | or at least, install the new intel driver, and it would realize that the mesa-glx needed to be switched to vs the nvidia-glx | 06:25 |
| unixalot | obiwan_: synaptic, look up a program called bulk rename, uses search and replace, its a gui | 06:25 |
| obiwan_ | so using a program/command is not in my plans :P | 06:25 |
| bazhang | mystica555, some human interaction is needed via the package manager | 06:26 |
| archboxman | courpse: apt-cache search file name | 06:26 |
| chelz | courpse: search for "gstreamer bad" in synaptic | 06:26 |
| obiwan_ | but unixalot i want to use the commands i'm currently using | 06:26 |

| archboxman | courpse: search partial name not the full name | 06:27 |
| edomeda | sounds like obiwan_ is doing a homework assignment | 06:27 |
| obiwan_ | haha thankz chelz i dunno why but i always end up there xDDD ok seeya later thanks u and thanks unixalot and thanks maco | 06:28 |
| archboxman | courpse: what program uses this packages wasn't reading along | 06:28 |
| courpse | i searched 'gstreamer bad', and there was n *-bad packages selected/installed. | 06:28 |
| courpse | Um, sorry? | 06:28 |
| archboxman | courpse: hold on | 06:28 |
| chelz | courpse: ah alright | 06:28 |
| nat2610_ | what package should I install to have the man pages for development ... (like man malloc) | 06:29 |

| Baloo1 | hello | 06:30 |
| thechris | Does anyone know how to get fdisk /mbr to work from linux? | 06:30 |
| chelz | !hi | Baloo1 | 06:30 |
| ubottu | Baloo1: 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! | 06:30 |
| chelz | thechris: linux does things differently. try "fdisk -l" | 06:31 |
| tucemiux | thechris, fdisk is only for windows partitions, what is the real question/problem | 06:31 |
| courpse | chelz, http://paste.ubuntu.com/370010/ | 06:31 |
| archboxman | courpse: this is all the packages I find on gstreamer... http://pastebin.com/m3e37186a | 06:31 |
| thechris | tucemiux: windows itself won't boot. | 06:31 |
| tucemiux | thechris, that one didnt sound all correctly LoL | 06:31 |
| Baloo1 | does anyone have ps3 ubuntu experience | 06:32 |
| archboxman | courpse: your not root | 06:32 |
| tucemiux | thechris, ok so what is the problem | 06:32 |
| courpse | I know im not root... | 06:32 |
| thechris | tucemiux: the solution listed for windows is to run fdisk /mbr to fix this issue | 06:32 |
| courpse | Why would i run a audio program as root? | 06:32 |
| tucemiux | thechris, ok and? | 06:32 |
| thechris | tucemiux: windows does not boot, but hangs before the splash screen | 06:32 |
| chelz | courpse: sudo rm /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfrei0r.so | 06:32 |
| chelz | thechris: what happened before windows started not being able to boot? | 06:33 |
| courpse | chelz, No such file or directory. | 06:33 |
| tucemiux | thechris, what does this have to do with ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| archboxman | courpse: editing your file system a user can't do that... | 06:33 |
| thechris | tucemiux: chelz i installed linux | 06:33 |
| fornix | thechris, i think u want to fix the boot sector. if you run fdisk /mbr from recovery console, grub would be overwritten @ mbr. | 06:33 |
| archboxman | courpse: su or sudo | 06:33 |
| courpse | archboxman, To do what? run audio app? | 06:33 |
| chelz | thechris: so you select windows from grub, then what happens? | 06:34 |
| Baloo1 | im having a problem with my windows | 06:34 |
| archboxman | reinstall the audio app | 06:34 |
| tucemiux | thechris, so basically you have a dual boot set up then? | 06:34 |
| booksbuggy | can someone give me a list of what files are suppose to be in etc/modprobe.d? | 06:34 |
| chelz | courpse: eh, well try installing frei0r-plugins then removing it completely / purging it | 06:34 |
| thechris | fornix: its easier to get grub to work than windows's bootloader | 06:34 |
| thechris | tucemiux: well, almost a dual boot. linux or hang at the moment... | 06:34 |
| archboxman | courpse: what file are you trying to use??? | 06:34 |
| chelz | booksbuggy: you can boot a livecd and get a list that way | 06:34 |
| ian_ | hello all. so...i've searched quite a bit but can find no solution for why flash (games in particular) runs so slowly on ubuntu. | 06:35 |
| fornix | thechris, how did u mess up windows partition boot sector? or are u sure ur windows partition boot sector is corrupted? | 06:35 |
| booksbuggy | okey dokey then nevermind :CP | 06:35 |
| Baloo1 | they are to big and wont scale down to a manageable size | 06:35 |
| thechris | chelz: the screen displays a blinking _. it does not boot | 06:35 |
| chelz | archboxman: he's getting a "Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal" error. which i've tracked to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/459940 | 06:35 |
| archboxman | purge and reinstall | 06:35 |
| booksbuggy | i think my accidental upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 caused the files in modprobe.d to be distributed to different places :CP | 06:35 |
| thechris | fornix: this is from googling "windows won't boot" or something similar | 06:35 |
| tucemiux | thechris, can you just describe what your installations please, not suppositions here | 06:35 |
| chelz | ian_: flash has issues sometimes | 06:35 |
| ekim | Is it possible to use a zune with Ubuntu? If so, what app do I use? | 06:36 |
| booksbuggy | now sound doesn't work | 06:36 |
| chelz | booksbuggy: make sure you have the latest updates installed. ubuntu should be able to fix itself | 06:36 |
| fornix | thechris, u probably only need to make some changes in grub config | 06:36 |
| tucemiux | ekim, a zune is like an ipod? | 06:36 |
| Josh901 | adding a user to the /ect/sudoers | 06:36 |
| booksbuggy | chelz, i tried updating everything | 06:36 |
| Killa1 | Quick question: Will moving my Windows partition (Moving within the same disk - Just so I can combine empty space) cause it to be unbootable or otherwise damaged? | 06:36 |
| ekim | to sync/add/remove songs. | 06:36 |
| knoppix | hi | 06:36 |
| thechris | tucemiux: i have a working 9.10 ubuntu install. there is a freebsd partition that isn't used or listed. winxp is listed, but will not boot | 06:36 |
| ian_ | chelz, seems to be the case. flash works fine on my windows partition (dual boot). but gets very laggy on ubuntu. turning off hardware accel helps a little but only for a moment | 06:36 |
| chelz | ekim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=492816 | 06:36 |
| ekim | tucemiux, yes, but it is a Microsoft thing. | 06:36 |
| booksbuggy | chelz, except autoremoving the files they are telling me to delete | 06:36 |
| nyaa_ | omg omg I figured it out | 06:36 |
| Josh901 | v | 06:37 |
| tucemiux | ekim, try amarok | 06:37 |
| thechris | fornix: i've already tried the update-grub/2 | 06:37 |
| nyaa_ | it had the old dvd that I burned before that also mounted, I had to unmount that so it could burn the cd | 06:37 |
| archboxman | thechris: you still working with that grub2 editor??? | 06:37 |
| * fornix never understood grub2, and still uses old grub :P | 06:37 | |
| chelz | thechris: you're sure the windows is listed properly in grub.cfg? | 06:37 |
| thechris | archboxman: well, i tried to find a winxp mbr, and that didn't work. the ubuntu cd takes a very long time to boot... | 06:37 |
| tucemiux | thechris, ok here goes the same question again, this time from me, apparently grub boots up fine, then you select windows, what happens after you select windows? | 06:38 |
| ekim | chelz, thanks for the link. | 06:38 |
| booksbuggy | thechris, sometimes the thing might be just one character difference | 06:38 |
| ekim | tucemiux, I will check amarok out...thanks, | 06:38 |
| thechris | tucemiux: essentially nothing. the screen goes black except for the "_" | 06:38 |
| Baloo1 | do ne 1 know wat im talking about | 06:38 |
| nat2610_ | what package should I install to have the man pages for development ... (like man malloc) | 06:38 |
| Josh901 | adding a user to the /ect/sudoers | 06:38 |
| tucemiux | thechris, did you configuration work at some point? | 06:38 |
| Flannel | Josh901: Easier to just add them to the 'admin' group | 06:38 |
| thechris | chelz: grub.cfg is autogenerated but update-grub/2 | 06:38 |
| Baloo1 | or not...... | 06:39 |
| thechris | tucemiux: previously, win32 worked. eventually I installed other OS's. | 06:39 |
| archboxman | thechris: curious to now if that bsd is conflicting with grub2... seems weird it wont recongize the partition | 06:39 |
| thechris | archboxman: well, I'm just not sure if grub2 knows what to do with it. | 06:40 |
| tucemiux | thechris, if you need help please stop withhold information, my question is if your configuration worked at some point, meaning if what you have right now used to work at some point | 06:40 |
| thechris | tucemiux: windows worked at some point | 06:40 |
| tucemiux | thechris, better yet---describe what you used to have when your configuration worked | 06:41 |
| thechris | tucemiux: after installing ubuntu, it didn't boot | 06:41 |
| Josh901 | Flannel: In the permisson's | 06:41 |
| thechris | tucemiux: i think it worked with gentoo. gentoo no longer exists though | 06:41 |
| chelz | thechris: verify the grub.cfg yourself, or you could pastebin it | 06:41 |
| Flannel | Josh901: Users and groups, yeah. Or you can just do this: `sudo adduser username admin` (where username is the user you want to give sudo access to) | 06:41 |
| ekim | chelz, that link didnt say if anyone got it working, only others have the same issue. | 06:42 |
| tucemiux | thechris, did it work with bsd? | 06:42 |
| thechris | chelz: it seems pretty basic. it does the root - map - chainload. | 06:42 |
| Josh901 | Flannel: Thanks heaps. | 06:42 |
| Killa1 | Anyone here familiar with Gparted or similar? More in relation to working with (working) Windows partitions? | 06:42 |
| thechris | tucemiux: nothing works with bsd | 06:42 |
| tucemiux | troll alert | 06:42 |
| chelz | ekim: people seem to be using virtualbox to work with zunes | 06:42 |
| archboxman | thechris: read this on grub2 and bsd http://forums.pcbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14668&start=0 | 06:43 |
| thechris | tucemiux: i essentially used BSD for all of 5 minutes because it didn't have networking support | 06:43 |
| chelz | !ask | Killa1 | 06:43 |
| ubottu | Killa1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 06:43 |
| tucemiux | ekim, amarok didnt work? try rhythmbox | 06:43 |
| thechris | archboxman: i guess thanks. but until freebsd supports my NIC, i really don't ever use it. | 06:43 |
| Killa1 | Alright - I'm curious as to if trying to move my working Windows partition will damage it in some way (Moving within the same disk) | 06:44 |
| Phosis | Does anyone know of any good HTTP video streams for music videos that I can use with Mplayer, or is most of this web based now? | 06:44 |
| chelz | thechris: pastebin "fdisk -l" output and your grub.cfg | 06:44 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, dont move your windows partition | 06:44 |
| helpme | im running an nvidia geforce 210, and 2 seperate LCDs are flashing black for several seconds on occasion in both the VGA and DVI port, while my CRT does not flash at all in either port, can someone help me get rid of the flashing on the LCDs??? | 06:44 |
| dax2112rush | Hi, I need to fsck a raid (root)partition. May I just boot with a live cd and fsck one of the 2 partitions, or will that mess everything up? | 06:44 |
| courpse | chelz, No change. | 06:44 |
| Killa1 | Alright, thanks. | 06:44 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, what are you trying to do?? | 06:45 |
| MHz128 | hiya | 06:45 |
| chelz | courpse: do you have that issue with other programs besides rhythmbox? | 06:45 |
| MHz128 | what is the gui app for mounting iso's with kde? or gnome... | 06:45 |
| Phosis | Does anyone use HTTP video streams through Mplayer, or is it all web based now? | 06:45 |
| tucemiux | !hello| MHz128 | 06:45 |
| ubottu | MHz128: 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! | 06:45 |
| chelz | helpme: do you have drivers installed? | 06:45 |
| courpse | yeah. movie player too. | 06:45 |
| archboxman | thechris: there go ran into the same problem, it took some fiddling with the new grub configuration files (in /etc/grub.d/ now instead of menu.lst). I have PCBSD installed in a second drive in my system. Following the pointers in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2, I created the file 50_pcbsd in the directory /etc/grub.d/ and ran update-grub. The contents of the file are: | 06:45 |
| chelz | courpse: does the output of it on the terminal say anything more? | 06:45 |
| courpse | chelz, Newp :/ | 06:46 |
| helpme | chelz: yes i do. ive treid many different drivers, actually. | 06:46 |
| thechris | chelz: http://pastie.org/812145 | 06:46 |
| courpse | ohh, vlc says 'Bus error'. | 06:46 |
| chelz | helpme: sounds like a driver issue. try the nvidia linux forums: http://www.google.com/search?q=nvidia+linux+forums | 06:46 |
| Phosis | Is video streaming all browser based, or can you still get HTTP streams through Mplayer? | 06:46 |
| thechris | archboxman: This seems to be in relation to the FBSD not being listed. I most likely will never use that FBSD install ever again. Right now, i'm trying to get windows to boot | 06:47 |
| helpme | chelz: even though the CRT works in both ports perfectly? | 06:47 |
| sddser | Hi since i upgraded to ubuntu 9.10 my sansa disk not recognize i removed rhythmbox lsusb output: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0781:7432 SanDisk Corp. Sansa Clip (mtp) - (not recognize in /media) | 06:47 |
| sahal | i figured out the problem | 06:47 |
| Killa1 | Tucemiux: I'm trying to combine free space that was made when I partitioned my disks incorrectly | 06:47 |
| sahal | scim is making gnome start slow | 06:47 |
| chelz | helpme: you could try searching the ubuntu wiki for nvidia troubleshooting info | 06:48 |
| helpme | chelz: ive actually been searching everywhere and asking in multiple irc chats since january 30th, but i can find no help :( | 06:48 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, yes, you can combine space, just back up your data just in case however remember that space needs to be next to each other in order | 06:49 |
| === raven_ is now known as _raven_feelsalon | ||
| tucemiux | in order for you to combine it | 06:49 |
| sddser | ok problem solved moved to MSC mode, thanks | 06:49 |
| === _raven_feelsalon is now known as _ravenfeelsalone | ||
| chelz | helpme: could try posting on the nvidia forums | 06:49 |
| helpme | chelz: ok | 06:50 |
| stevenfgsdfg | What is best? Iptables, ufw or firestarter? | 06:50 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: Yea, that's the problem: the space isn't continuous - There's a 60gig Windows partition in there I was hoping to move to the right or left, but last time I attempted to do something to a Windows partition | 06:50 |
| michaeldouglas30 | Iptables | 06:50 |
| chelz | courpse: try installing songbird and seeing if it works. if it doesn't work, try pastebinning the output | 06:50 |
| Killa1 | It went 'spode on me :[ | 06:50 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: ufw and firestarter are just frontends to iptables | 06:50 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: firestarter is unmaintained, though | 06:50 |
| chelz | stevenfgsdfg: if all you need is IPv4, firestarter worked pretty well | 06:50 |
| stevenfgsdfg | I have ipv6 blacklisted | 06:50 |
| michaeldouglas30 | ipcop running on a second box | 06:50 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: ufw is a command line wrapper for iptables. gufw is a gui one being recommended to replace firestarter due to aforementioned unmaintained status | 06:51 |
| Josh901 | Is there a program where i can back up my whole os. | 06:51 |
| === _ravenfeelsalone is now known as _raven | ||
| courpse | chelz, is song bird in the repos? | 06:51 |
| titan_ark | anything i can do to make my fonts look better and smoother in openoffice and okular? | 06:51 |
| chelz | MHz128: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/mount-and-unmount-isomdfnrg-images-using-acetoneiso-gui-tool.html | 06:51 |
| stevenfgsdfg | It irritates me that I will sudo ufw default deny, sudo ufw enable, and then when I run firestarter and type sudo ufw status it will say inactive. | 06:51 |
| MHz128 | chelz, wicked! thank you | 06:52 |
| tucemiux | Josh901, you want to create an image of your hard drive, similar to window's ghost application, for ubuntu you can use partimage | 06:52 |
| chelz | titan_ark: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts | 06:52 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, you know how to use paste bin? | 06:52 |
| stevenfgsdfg | Why does firestarter turn off my iptables? ufw says inactive after I start it | 06:52 |
| thechris | so, this comes back to my original question -- is there a way to do a dos-style fdisk /mbr in linux? | 06:53 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: I used it a while ago, but it's been ages | 06:53 |
| titan_ark | chelz: okay i am there. what should i change/ | 06:53 |
| Josh901 | tucemiux: Thanks | 06:53 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: firestarter probably resets it to its default blacklist mode | 06:53 |
| tucemiux | !paste > Killa1 | 06:53 |
| ubottu | Killa1, please see my private message | 06:53 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: you shouldnt mix firestarter and ufw though | 06:53 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: theyll be saving conflicting configs to different files and you wont know which will go into effect | 06:53 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, use paste bin to output the result of this command: "sudo fdisk -l" | 06:54 |
| maco | stevenfgsdfg: if you want a gui and command line way, ufw and gufw should work fine together | 06:54 |
| chelz | titan_ark: http://www.killertechtips.com/2008/04/10/how-to-turn-on-cleartype-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 06:54 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370018/ | 06:55 |
| titan_ark | chelz: cool thx a bunch. shall do that | 06:55 |
| chelz | thechris: fdisk mbr installs the NT bootloader, we use grub so | 06:55 |
| stevenfgsdfg | Do I have to do anything special to get it to save the configuration like iptables update or iptables restore or anything like that? | 06:56 |
| thechris | chelz: either grub doesn't work, or grub does work and the NT bootloader doesn't work. | 06:56 |
| ekim | I have rhythmbox opened but cant get zune music to load in the program. what am I missing? | 06:56 |
| thechris | chelz: grub isn't hard to install from linux | 06:56 |
| chelz | thechris: you could try uninstalling grub 2 and installing the older grub | 06:57 |
| chelz | thechris: you could boot a windows install disc and do a 'repair install', then reinstall grub2 | 06:57 |
| === james is now known as Guest65700 | ||
| chelz | thechris: i'm pretty sure grub is wrong is that it has hd(0,1) while windows is on hd(0,0) | 06:58 |
| thechris | chelz: grub2 changed partitions to 1 indexed. | 06:59 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, you have windows 98? | 06:59 |
| thechris | chelz: I just don't want to have to search my house for my winxp cd. | 06:59 |
| courpse | chelz, Sorry, back. | 06:59 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: I have an old install disk around here somewhere, but it's not on the machine. It's a pre-SP1 disk install of Windows | 06:59 |
| courpse | Installing songbird now. | 06:59 |
| Killa1 | XP that's on the machine now | 07:00 |
| chelz | stevenfgsdfg: i've been using vuurmuur | 07:00 |
| stevenfgsdfg | What is that? | 07:00 |
| stevenfgsdfg | !vuurmurr | 07:00 |
| chelz | stevenfgsdfg: it's easy. also i hear apf-firewall is good | 07:00 |
| chelz | stevenfgsdfg: learning iptables itself is a good thing though | 07:00 |
| chelz | thechris: well could try older grub then | 07:01 |
| stevenfgsdfg | Yeah, my friend just told me a real man uses iptables | 07:01 |
| stevenfgsdfg | grrr | 07:01 |
| stevenfgsdfg | I'm just going to go with ufw as a kind of bandaid I think until I learn iptables | 07:02 |
| courpse | Im getting this alot too, http://pastebin.com/m5abaceab when trying to apt-get install something. | 07:02 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, so you have an extended partition at the beginning of your hard drive that is not being used??? | 07:03 |
| amigojapan | in this:sudo useradd hhhhhh -m --skel /var/www/basicframework/nonphpstuff/vncuserskel howcome it doesnt change the ownership of the new directories made from the new skeleton to the new user hhhhhh? | 07:04 |
| chelz | courpse: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv/+bug/459940 | 07:04 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: Not that I know of. I have an extended partition that has an old Ubuntu partition I screwed up, then the Windows, then a 10gig (personal) share), then ~20gigs of free space I want to combine with my old Ubuntu parition. | 07:04 |
| archboxman | thechris: why did you use a custom example for the bootloader???? | 07:04 |
| ACE | . | 07:04 |
| thechris | archboxman: i didn't. thats what grub2 chooses | 07:05 |
| ekim | Rythmbox doesnt seem to like zune's wma music files. How can i get them to play? | 07:05 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, install gparted so you can see what you have graphically, "sudo apt-get install gparted" | 07:05 |
| rosco | i need general guidance. eventually, i will have xubuntu installed. issues in doing that though. do i want to initally dual boot, make sure linux is up and running. then delete XP partition. do i partition drive before installing linux? | 07:05 |
| chelz | courpse: settings > repositories > authentication > restore desault keys | 07:05 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: I already have it installed, would you like a screenshot? I even have it already up. | 07:05 |
| chelz | courpse: then sudo apt-get clean | 07:05 |

| archboxman | thechris: this is a spot match for the way your grub.cfg file appears instead of just the makeactive??? why is this??? | 07:07 |
| Killa1 | tucemiux: http://imagebin.org/83599 | 07:07 |
| thechris | archboxman: i've found ms-sys which used to be a ubuntu package. seems it has some bugs | 07:08 |
| chelz | Killa1: are you using wubi? | 07:08 |
| archboxman | thechris: why is it every article I have read calls for makeactive and this setup and yours call for remove all of 30 os probe and goes into deleting files... also by deleting the os probe it now can't detect the drive... | 07:08 |
| Killa1 | Chelz: No, I'm on a livecd atm. | 07:09 |
| Killa1 | Chelz: 9.10, to be exact | 07:09 |
| chelz | Killa1: oh. just use gparted to move stuff around then | 07:09 |
| courpse | chelz, Ta. | 07:09 |
| chelz | courpse: ? | 07:09 |
| thechris | archboxman: i haven't seen the "makeactive" listed. | 07:09 |
| Killa1 | Chelz: That won't screw up the Windows partition? | 07:09 |
| courpse | Thanks for the repo fix,. | 07:09 |
| chelz | Killa1: i know it won't if you're using grub, not sure about default windows. might need to do a fixmbr thing | 07:10 |

| archboxman | thechris: going on further I read in a linux mint article by editing you grub2 file which is not recommended for because you have a OS probe tool attached to grub2 which does a autosearch... | 07:11 |
| stevenfgsdfg | How do I run vuurmuur from command line? lol | 07:11 |
| tucemiux | Killa1, do you have a windows CD? your installation is a cluster mess up, I would just reinstall, since you have more thane enough space, just create a backup of your windows partition if you dont have the windows CD | 07:11 |
| thechris | archboxman: i haven't edited my grub.cfg | 07:11 |

| thechris | archboxman: there are no uncommented lines in that section. | 07:15 |
| archboxman | thechris: this is odd??? remove the line for drive map and makeactive | 07:15 |

| chelz | thechris: optionally, the latest vmware supports up to dx9 for any effects | 07:21 |
| thechris | archboxman: well, ubuntu is pretty big on needless breaking things. | 07:22 |

| res | hey how do i install antivirus for firefoxs | 07:23 |
| some_dude | can someone help me understand how tinyproxy catches my outgoing web requests ? | 07:23 |
| thechris | archboxman: no argument here -- I'm not the one who made it the default for 9.10 | 07:24 |
| archboxman | thechris: why did your ubuntu pick grub2 | 07:24 |
| thechris | archboxman: its the default for new installs of 9.10, while updates do not switch at this time. | 07:24 |
| tucemiux | archboxman, thechris is trolling | 07:25 |
| archboxman | thechris: would go to 9.04 and upgrade to 9.10.... ubuntu is introducing a lot of new packages to include upstart and udev | 07:25 |
| chelz | thechris: switching to older grub is trivial. seriously. chill brah. | 07:25 |
| res | i want to secure firefoxs with a nod32 or norton, how do i do this or maybe linux anti virus | 07:25 |
| chelz | res: clam-av is the antivirus for linux | 07:25 |
| Yggdrasil | how can i make the password not required when my system sleeps ? | 07:25 |
| tucemiux | res, did you just say "norton"?!? for linux? | 07:26 |
| res | chelz: ok but how do i tell aptitude to scan packages for antivirus for example | 07:26 |
| chelz | Yggdrasil: that's a screensaver thing | 07:26 |
| zmanning | ZykoticK9, you sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar. thanks for the snippet! | 07:26 |
| Yggdrasil | mhmm thanks. | 07:26 |
| thechris | tucemiux: no, its just something that always annoys me with ubuntu. every new version has to change as many things as possible. it makes any old documentation unreliable. | 07:26 |
| zmanning | ZykoticK9, looks like its working fine now | 07:26 |
| res | chelz: with clamav or norton in whine | 07:26 |
| tVfReAkS | hi, i'm on vista and would like to make my usb bootable or enable boot flags. is there an app for windows to do this? | 07:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | zmanning, glad to help :) | 07:26 |
| chelz | res: custom script for clam-av of somekind | 07:26 |
| archboxman | tucemiux: I'm not bashing ubunut I understand its point, but I don't understand why they couldn't wait other release??? I love ubuntu ,but this makes it hard on all users :( | 07:26 |
| Yggdrasil | also if i set sleep on screen close and works but i cant get it to just sleep when on battery after 15 minutes idle | 07:26 |
| chelz | tVfReAkS: unetbootin | 07:27 |
| Yggdrasil | anyway thanks | 07:27 |
| tucemiux | res, the antivirus is for windows files, not linux packages | 07:27 |
| chelz | archboxman: it works for most users. we're still not sure the problem here is grub2 | 07:27 |
| tVfReAkS | i tried it. i think i need to make the usb stick bootable or enable boot flags. i used gparted before. but have no way of doing this | 07:27 |
| tVfReAkS | thanks chelz | 07:27 |
| tucemiux | archboxman, i meant to say that thechris is trolling, not you | 07:28 |
| res | tucemiux: i run whine and i rather not run risks | 07:28 |
| tVfReAkS | i need to enable the boot flags or put a checkmark in it | 07:28 |
| res | tucemiux: so i want to check every file even if it claims to be linux.exe | 07:28 |
| theshadow | Today when I booted my laptop my wireless wasn't enabled I can't figure out why, the Broadcom STA driver is enabled and active, it detects the card but I can't figure out why I can't enable my wireless. Please, can anyone help? | 07:28 |
| archboxman | chelz: I agree ,but why no option at boot time to ask for grub or grub2 or to state upstart or hal or udev | 07:28 |
| tucemiux | res, if you dont want to run risks then dont use wine and dont use windows, only ubuntu | 07:28 |
| res | tucemiux: i cant make norton do this in ubuntu 9.10, it doesnt do it when aptitude installs | 07:28 |
| res | tucemiux: i cant because of my job, i must use windows programs | 07:29 |
| roboboy | okay how can I permanently kill the X server so it doesn't restart so I can run Xorg -configure? | 07:29 |
| chelz | res: there's a linux version of avg. it's proprietary though | 07:29 |
| archboxman | roboboy: what I could edit it in terminal??? lol | 07:29 |
| chelz | roboboy: ctrl+alt+f1 a few times then login and do "sudo killall xorg" | 07:30 |
| roboboy | its not there :p | 07:30 |
| roboboy | kk thanks | 07:30 |
| tucemiux | res, youre not getting the point here, the antivirus is for windows, anything that runs on windows and that is meant for windows | 07:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | roboboy, from a console (ctrl-alt-F1) "sudo services gdm stop" | 07:30 |
| chelz | that sounds better | 07:30 |
| res | tucemiux: which is why i run in on whine | 07:30 |
| cvd | ubuntu dont delete old kernels? now i have 3 different kernels updates, how can i remove the old kernel? | 07:30 |

| res | whats wrong with running norton on whine | 07:31 |
| tucemiux | res, this means that you dont have to worry on linux, it's very difficult for linux to get infected by a virus meant for linux, it will be almost impossible for linux to be affected by a virus meant for windows | 07:31 |

| ventz | if i do apt-get dist-upgrade on ubuntu server, will it upgrade me from 8.04 to 8.10? (i don't want that, but there are packages which have been kept back) | 07:34 |

| bazhang | ventz, no the dist-upgrade won't switch version | 07:35 |
| bazhang | !dist-upgrade | 07:35 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper release upgrade methods. | 07:35 |
| tucemiux | res, no system is 100%, you want a system to be perfect, that is not realistic, anything that connects to the internet is vulnerable | 07:35 |
| rosco | bazhang: yo | 07:35 |
| cvd | chelz, nice | 07:35 |
| ventz | bazhang: what is hte difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade, and why do like 30% of the sites online claim that dist-upgrade will upgrade the actual OS version #? | 07:36 |
| ventz | (or is it, that on server this does not apply) | 07:36 |
| archboxman | !apt-get | 07:36 |
| ubottu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 07:36 |

| blankthemuffin | res, anti-virus is not really required at all on linux. | 07:38 |
| courpse | chelz, Im thinking this might be worth reinstalling ubuntu, a few things are f00bar3d, :/ | 07:38 |
| res | blankthemuffin: but if anti virus checked for kernel stuff then it wouldnt happen... | 07:38 |
| res | blankthemuffin: thats what im trying to do with norton 2004 trial version | 07:38 |
| ventz | archboxman: so it says that it can do distribution upgrades... | 07:39 |
| archboxman | ventz: yes, just good over all chart for you to read.. | 07:39 |
| ventz | but how can you prevent it from running a distribution upgrade? | 07:39 |
| ventz | i just want to get the new kernel and the new dns binary | 07:40 |
| blankthemuffin | Uh res that's not going to work at all. | 07:40 |
| archboxman | ventz: if your think of updating to 9.10 I would wait there are becoming issues | 07:40 |
| k0d3g3ar | res: what makes you think that the anti-virus programs are any good anyway? I mean a good virus will have a day or so to go rogue before it is noticed by AV companies | 07:40 |
| tico | HELLO,,,,,,,,,,,,,, | 07:40 |
| ventz | archboxman: i am trying to avoid upgrading away from 8.04 | 07:41 |
| res | k0d3g3ar: wait but that applies to anything, if theres an obscure exploit in the kernel then it takes time to identify and patch | 07:41 |
| res | k0d3g3ar: sometimes even 8 years | 07:41 |
| tico | some one know a programs such as radmin(RDM) to connect ubuntu and windows??? | 07:41 |
| ventz | since a lot of the custom software I have is not officially supported under anything other than the LTS (8.04) server, and if i call support they will not support it | 07:41 |
| k0d3g3ar | res: exactly. My point is you don't want to use an OS that is a likely target for this stuff | 07:41 |
| blankthemuffin | res, this is because security is tighter through both technical and social means. Technical in that things are run as your user, reducing effect on the system, social in that typically one does not download third party software from un-trusted sources, it generally comes from the system packages which are secure. As for norton, it, and all windows anti-virus software is going to be completely worthless in linux. | 07:42 |
| sprung | Hi, I am trying to get ahead of the curve at work, I am looking for something to study SPECIFICALLY regarding crash analysis | 07:42 |
| k0d3g3ar | res: and also you want an OS that was designed to protect the kernel by decent user level security accounts as standard | 07:42 |
| k0d3g3ar | res: 90% of all viruses are introduced by users - not by some random net exploit | 07:43 |
| archboxman | ventz: really like 8.10 and 9.04 support is a good thing , but how far your going with programing is what you need to ask yourself??? | 07:43 |
| sprung | k0d3g3ar, that statistic is totally made up but sounds right | 07:43 |
| k0d3g3ar | spung: and your point is? | 07:43 |
| tico | some one know a programs such as radmin(RDM) to connect ubuntu and windows??? | 07:43 |

| archboxman | sprung: I would say that statistic is about 90% right just the user making this virus lives in india, pakastain and remote places :) | 07:44 |
| sprung | i need to get better at this. i take too long figuring out what made the servers crash | 07:45 |

| k0d3g3ar | so anyone have a recommendation for a good, schedulable disk image backup system for Ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| marian | It keeps telling me that it can't access my cd burner because it can't communicate with it exclusively. I have the log but it is pretty large. I can't unmount or eject the cdrom either. | 07:48 |

| k0d3g3ar | bazhang: but rsync doesn't do disk image level backups does it? | 07:49 |
| sprung | marian, use pastebin as shown above to show us the logs | 07:49 |
| marian | Will do | 07:49 |
| Dr_Willis | xTheGoat121x: any errors would get printed to the terminal normally, | 07:50 |
| marian | http://paste.ubuntu.com/370042/ | 07:50 |
| sprung | marian, ok, i'm looking. | 07:50 |
| marian | ty | 07:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | Dr_Willis, I got it figured out -- I already had an instance of Fx running, so I closed it and restarted from the terminal | 07:51 |
| blankthemuffin | also note res, that particular exploit never affected Ubuntu 8.04+ and still relies on the attacker getting the code to your system, which is where the security of using distro packages comes in. | 07:52 |

| k0d3g3ar | chelz: gracias | 07:53 |
| Liquid-Silence | what happend to the nautilussvn package? | 07:53 |
| chelz | marian: do you have any other applications open that work with the drive? | 07:53 |
| sprung | chelz, yes, she probably does that's what this is going to prove | 07:54 |
| ventz | I am still confused about this. Everything claims that dist-upgrade actually *upgrades* distributions... | 07:54 |
| ventz | can someone please clear this up for me | 07:54 |
| sprung | ventz, nah, dist-upgrade does kernel updates | 07:54 |
| chelz | Liquid-Silence: http://code.google.com/p/nautilussvn/wiki/Installation | 07:54 |
| sprung | ventz, and other updates closely related to the kernel version | 07:55 |
| ventz | sprung: and if i do want to upgrade the distribution (not that i do), how do i go about that? | 07:55 |
| maco | ventz: apt-get dist-upgrade differs from apt-get upgrade in that it will remove obsolete packages and add new dependencies, while apt-get update will not. this is necessary when upgrading from one distro release to another, but it is not the *only* time it is necessary. thus, in aptitude, dist-upgrade has been renamed to full-upgrade | 07:55 |
| sprung | ventz, that's a whole other can of worms | 07:55 |
| chelz | k0d3g3ar: there are also things like rsnapshot | 07:55 |

| sprung | ^^^ | 07:55 |
| sprung | ventz, everything you need should be there | 07:55 |
| sprung | --------^ | 07:55 |
| maco | ventz: apt-get dist-upgrade will only change you from one release to another if you've modified /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a newer release, but this method of upgrading is not recommended | 07:55 |
| maco | ventz: the recommended way to change distro releases is "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 07:56 |
| maco | ventz: that clear things up? | 07:56 |
| ventz | maco: yes! perfect. thank you | 07:56 |
| sprung | maco: see i wouldn't have told him that option so he doesn't even try it | 07:56 |
| ventz | i am coming from the openbsd world, and this is very different :) | 07:56 |
| marian | sprung: ok, did that. should i try Gnomebaker again to burn a cd? | 07:56 |
| sprung | marian, Yes. | 07:56 |
| ventz | sprung: thanks for urls too | 07:56 |
| Liquid-Silence | hmmm | 07:56 |
| maco | sprung: well if ventz wants to know why "dist-upgrade" is used to refer to changing releases, i think its necessary to explain that itll *only* act in that manor if other steps are followed first | 07:56 |
| maco | s/manor/manner/ | 07:57 |
| marian | sprung: didn't work | 07:57 |
| sprung | marian, ok hold on a sec | 07:57 |
| marian | chelz: that's what I'm trying to figure out | 07:57 |
| sprung | marian, if you do a ps ax|grep kio_audiocd does it find anything besides grep kio_audiocd | 07:58 |
| TLUL | Is it normal for Ubuntu to keep old versions of the kernel in the boot list after an upgrade through the update manager? | 07:58 |
| TLUL | (Though still adding the new kernel) | 07:58 |
| chelz | marian: pastebin the out put of: lsof /dev/scd1 | 07:58 |
| sprung | that too | 07:59 |
| === ersoy is now known as hersoy | ||
| Myrtti | TLUL: yes. handy if the nnew one doesn't work | 07:59 |
| marian | sprung: did ps ax|grep kio audiocd and got no such file or directory | 07:59 |
| sprung | marian, chelz is on the right track | 08:00 |
| sprung | chelz, i didn't know you could do that with devices | 08:00 |
| TLUL | Myrtti: Indeed it is. Karmic's latest kernel only boots up right about 50% of the time. | 08:00 |
| TLUL | Myrtti: And this behaviour persisted through a reformat/reinstall. | 08:00 |
| chelz | sprung: you might not be able to | 08:00 |
| chelz | i'm not sure | 08:00 |
| Myrtti | TLUL: you need to specifically remove the old after you've deccided the new wks sufficiently | 08:01 |
| marian | I typed lsof /dev/scd1 and there was no output | 08:01 |
| === Raliuga_ is now known as Raliuga | ||
| Myrtti | works, even | 08:01 |
| sprung | marian, do a ps ax and pastebin it | 08:01 |
| TLUL | Myrtti: I'd rather not remove it, since I never know when I might need to boot up quickly. | 08:01 |
| theadmin | what is an .uni file and how can that be opened? | 08:02 |
| TLUL | Any idea why the new kernel sometimes fails a second or two into booting? | 08:02 |
| marian | http://paste.ubuntu.com/370056/ | 08:02 |
| Liquid-Silence | has anyone gotten nautilus to open files in a terminal with vim? | 08:02 |
| theadmin | Liquid-Silence: Just make it open the file with "gnome-terminal vim" | 08:02 |
| sprung | marian, on an unrelated note you probably don't need to be running avahi-daemon | 08:03 |
| theadmin | Liquid-Silence: Hm. That doesn't seem to work. | 08:04 |
| marian | sprung: Windevice? | 08:04 |
| marian | winedevice? | 08:04 |
| Liquid-Silence | all good bro | 08:04 |
| Liquid-Silence | :) | 08:04 |
| Liquid-Silence | not just to make my fonts nice | 08:04 |
| Liquid-Silence | :d | 08:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | Liquid-Silence, i think it's "gnome-terminal -e vim" | 08:04 |
| sprung | marian, we're going to start eliminating some possibilities here | 08:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | Liquid-Silence, ahhh, but it doesn't bring the file in -- i see the problem now | 08:05 |
| sprung | marian, kill -9 3045 | 08:05 |
| marian | sprung: did you notice winedevice? i'm pretty sure that is the second cd in my computer | 08:05 |
| marian | ok | 08:05 |
| sprung | marian, we'll try that next | 08:05 |
| sprung | OH | 08:06 |
| sprung | lol | 08:06 |
| marian | sprung: ok, killed it. try GnomeBaker again? | 08:06 |
| sprung | marian, i see what the problem is | 08:06 |
| sprung | 3703 ? Ssl 0:00 E:\Setup.exe | 08:06 |
| marian | kewl | 08:06 |
| sprung | you're running something with Wine using your cdrom | 08:07 |
| sprung | close everything that is using wine please | 08:07 |
| sprung | there's a setup program of some sort running right now and it's monopolizing your cdrom drive no wonder you can't burn | 08:07 |
| marian | sprung: right, but i want to keep that program open because the cd i am burning is for taht wine program. close it anyway? won't put me back more than 5 or ten minutes | 08:08 |
| Josh90 | Locking an account via the command line | 08:09 |
| sprung | marian, I am not understanding you. The CD you are burning is for "that wine program". okay, why are you running it right now? Just burn it and run it when you're done | 08:09 |
| TLUL | marian: If you wan't to burn a disc, you'll need to stop all other programs from accessing the drive. | 08:09 |
| sprung | exactly | 08:09 |
| marian | ok, killing everything with wine | 08:09 |
| === mowetteKEKETTE`B is now known as Mowee | ||
| peterseb | which is good - wine or virtual box | 08:10 |
| sprung | marian, you will find that although Wine has made wonderful leaps and bounds, and much pats on the back to them, it's still buggy as hell | 08:10 |
| sprung | if something's wrong always kill wine first | 08:10 |
| TLUL | "Make me a sandwich." "What? Make it yourself!" "sudo make me a sandwich." "Okay." | 08:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | peterseb, those are two totally different thing! apples & oranges | 08:10 |
| theadmin | peterseb: Let's see. Box lets you run Windows inside Linux, eating a lot of memory. WINE runs apps directly from Linux, BUT is buggy | 08:11 |
| TLUL | peterseb: It depends what you want to use the programs for. | 08:11 |
| sprung | marian, and you almost certainly don't need avahi-daemon running, and it's a potential security vulnerability. | 08:11 |
| sprung | i tell everybody that though | 08:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | Josh90, to lock an account (disable it) "sudo passwd $USERNAME -l" use "-u" to unlock | 08:12 |
| titan_ark | my fonts have gone from bad to worse | 08:12 |
| titan_ark | :( | 08:12 |
| sprung | marian, how's it coming | 08:12 |
| TLUL | sprung: What does avahi-daemon do? | 08:12 |
| === choonming_ is now known as choonming | ||
| sprung | it's the open source version of the Bonjour service for windows | 08:13 |
| marian | Ok, that was it. I was in the middle of install something from a different cdrom, and the program is burning fine now. Thank you. | 08:13 |
| Josh90 | ZykoticK9: Thanks | 08:13 |
| TLUL | sprung: Isn't support through that provided by Pidgin? | 08:13 |
| sprung | it's an Apple network auto-config service | 08:13 |
| sprung | zeroconfig shit | 08:13 |
| Talon_ | how do I clean my grub list? everytime I get a kernel update, i get a new addition to my grub for the new kernel, i got like 6 choices for ubuntu now in grub | 08:13 |
| marian | sprung: how do i prevent that program from loading? | 08:13 |
| sprung | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29 | 08:14 |
| TLUL | Talon_: You will have to edit the list manually (I was just asking about this). | 08:14 |
| chelz | Josh90: actually passwd -l #username | 08:14 |
| chelz | TLUL: sudo apt-get install computer-janitor | 08:14 |
| chelz | Talon_: sudo apt-get install computer-janitor | 08:14 |
| theadmin | chelz: What does it have to do with janitors? | 08:14 |
| TLUL | Talon_: Though sometimes an old kernel listing is useful in case the current one is buggy. I've been having problems with version... um... 17, is it? | 08:14 |
| chelz | TLUL: when you remove the kernel packages, with a tool like computer-janitor, it will remove it from the grub list | 08:14 |
| Myrtti | TLUL, Talon_ just uninstall the unused kernel images with synaptic | 08:14 |
| chelz | the: when you remove the kernel packages, with a tool like computer-janitor, it will remove it from the grub list | 08:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Josh90, chelz is correct | 08:14 |
| chelz | theadmin: when you remove the kernel packages, with a tool like computer-janitor, it will remove it from the grub list | 08:15 |
| sprung | sudo update-rc.d -f avahi-daeomn remove should do it | 08:15 |
| TLUL | chelz: I don't wan't to remove them. | 08:15 |
| theadmin | chelz: When I remove the kernel packages, it reconfigures GRUB automatically. Don't know about GRUB2 though | 08:15 |
| chelz | TLUL: so you do but you don't? make up your mind :P | 08:15 |
| sprung | sudo update-rc.d -f avahi-daemon remove should do it | 08:15 |
| Josh90 | chelz , ZykoticK9 Thanks | 08:15 |
| TLUL | chelz: I never said I wanted to remove them. | 08:15 |
| sprung | i misspelled | 08:15 |
| fawaz | I'm installing cuda and i keep getting the following errors http://pastebin.com/d506d0952 Please help :) | 08:15 |
| chilicuil | hi, in ubuntu there is an option super useful to share whole folders by clicking with the secundary boton -> properties -> share and I wonder what could be the translation in the console?, I've looked at /etc/samba/smb.conf but there are no changes | 08:15 |
| theadmin | TLUL, so you want to remove them only from menu? | 08:15 |
| TLUL | theadmin: No, I don't want to remove anything. Talon wanted to remove them. | 08:16 |
| chelz | TLUL: if they're out of your grub list you're not using them. but anyway, if you *really* want to keep them but not have them in your grub list, then i take it that user would be okay editing stuff manually. but for a normal user that's not necessary | 08:16 |
| Liquid-Silence | hmm | 08:16 |
| sprung | chilicuil, what is your native language? | 08:16 |
| Liquid-Silence | what happend to the ms core font package? | 08:16 |
| nomnex | xchat: how to I hide messages x has joined #channel / x has left #channel? | 08:16 |

| Talon_ | computer janitor was already installed in my version of ubuntu, guess i have to do it thru synaptic | 08:17 |
| chilicuil | sure, sprung | 08:17 |
| Talon_ | it says theres nothing to clean up lol | 08:17 |
| sprung | chilicuil, de nada | 08:17 |
| chilicuil | it happens that in ubuntu-es everyone is sleeping, thx for the help chelz | 08:18 |
| chelz | Talon_: search for "linux-image" in synaptic and remove the kernels you're *sure* you're not using | 08:18 |
| nomnex | xchat: Hide/join part messages. got it now! | 08:18 |
| chelz | chilicuil: that link should work | 08:18 |
| sprung | chilicuil, oh okay well i thought it might help | 08:18 |
| Liquid-Silence | hmmm code fonts are gone :( | 08:19 |
| ouyes | chelz, after update, i have an old kernel, how to remove it? | 08:19 |
| chelz | Liquid-Silence: it's now ttf-mscorefonts-installer | 08:19 |
| Talon_ | ok well i just updated n restarted to 2.6.31-19-generic so anything lower than that i can remove eh? should i keep at least one for a backup? | 08:19 |
| rosco | ? i'm partitioning HD of old laptop 32GB, but registers only 27GB. windoze will only be on it until i can fully install xubuntu next friday (need more ram). instead of recommended 20GB to M$ and 10GB to unused FAT for linux and eventually xubuntu, can i go 15/15? | 08:19 |
| chelz | ouyes: search for it in synaptic. it'll be called "linux-image" something | 08:19 |
| sprung | by the way, ext4 ate my %$#%^$ desktop | 08:19 |
| sprung | i am never using ext4 again | 08:19 |
| sprung | i am so mad | 08:19 |
| chelz | Talon_: keeping one sounds good yeah | 08:19 |
| chelz | sprung: what happened? | 08:19 |
| rosco | that question is on top | 08:20 |
| rosco | on topic | 08:20 |
| sprung | ext4 has a glitch that hates 0 kb files | 08:20 |
| chelz | sprung: is there a bug reported for it? | 08:20 |
| sprung | it's "supposedly" fixed | 08:20 |
| sprung | but in the meantime linux ate my desktop. | 08:20 |
| sweb | hi | 08:20 |
| chelz | rosco: yes, at least 8GB is necessary | 08:20 |
| rosco | using gparted, can i go 15/15 GB to M$ and linux??? | 08:20 |
| sprung | it's using encryptfs | 08:20 |
| sweb | i ahve a problem ... mynumkeys work as a mouse arrow control ... | 08:20 |
| rosco | 8G for what, chelz | 08:20 |
| chelz | sprung: you should backup generally, but yeah eating your desktop is bad times | 08:21 |
| sprung | so file recovery is basically a lost cause | 08:21 |
| chelz | rosco: for ubuntu | 08:21 |
| chelz | rosco: 8GB or more | 08:21 |
| DVS01 | rosco: yes | 08:21 |
| sprung | chelz, just don't. | 08:21 |
| sprung | chelz, don't. | 08:21 |
| buckfast | Does ubuntu use ntfs-3g by default for ntfs partitions? | 08:21 |
| sprung | chelz, because you saying that makes me feel homicidal. | 08:21 |
| chelz | buckfast: yes | 08:21 |
| DVS01 | you can actually give the entire drive to windows and then have ubuntu boot up from a disk image thats stored on your windows filesystem | 08:21 |
| sweb | my numkeys work as a mouse arrow control ... help me ... | 08:21 |
| chilicuil | chelz, yes it explains how to add directories but my question was, what files does ubuntu change to share folders while setting them up in the X system?, coz I've shared some of them in that way and I don't see them in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file | 08:21 |
| chelz | sprung: eh.. if you don't then it'll happen again. just a matter of time. unless you want it to happen again. | 08:21 |
| rosco | oh, i saw ten. my question is taht i only have 27GB to work with. the website says minimum 20GB for M$ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoResizeWindowsPartitions | 08:22 |
| sweb | :-( | 08:22 |
| DVS01 | thats actually pretty convenient for people who already have their partitions set up for windows | 08:22 |
| sprung | chelz, didn't i just suggest you not do what you are doing right now? | 08:22 |
| chelz | !hate | sprung | 08:22 |
| ubottu | sprung: hate is a thing we don't encourage - why waste your energy | 08:22 |
| buckfast | chelz: I'd like to have a partition that I can make changes to in both, linux and windows, is it safe to write to ntfs partitions under linux? | 08:22 |
| rosco | chelz: adn DVS01 i'd like to give M$ say, 15GB instead of 20GB. | 08:22 |
| chelz | rosco: what version of windows? | 08:22 |
| chelz | buckfast: yes | 08:22 |
| sprung | "you know, if you had paid your car insurance on time, you wouldn't be owing the guy with the BMW 10 grand" | 08:22 |
| theadmin | sweb: I believe you can fix it in System - Preferences - Mouse | 08:22 |
| sprung | thanks. | 08:22 |
| Talon_ | ok now what if i want to remove some of those other entries from grub, like memtest | 08:23 |
| sprung | real helpful after the fact. | 08:23 |
| rosco | XP | 08:23 |
| sprung | just rub it in a little more | 08:23 |
| rosco | chelz: ^ | 08:23 |
| chelz | sprung: not trying to be helpful about what happened in the past, trying to be helpful about what might happen in the future | 08:23 |
| theadmin | sweb: Oops. System - Preferences - Keyboard - Mouse keys | 08:23 |
| sweb | theadmin: my keyboard numkeys work as a mouse controller ... where is config ? | 08:23 |
| chelz | Talon_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring%20GRUB%202 | 08:24 |

| chelz | sprung: sounds like an LTS is more your style | 08:26 |
| sprung | i'm fortunate that I just use my desktop for my shows i download from usenet | 08:26 |
| chelz | rosco: let the ubuntu installer do the partitioning | 08:26 |
| sprung | if i had something more important on there i would be tracking down ext4 developers and assassinating them | 08:26 |
| rosco | Does anyone know, say, DVS01 if i can give win XP only 15GB instead of recommended 20GB. office is gone | 08:26 |
| [BT]Brendan | Thanks chelz, I'll have a read and see how I go. | 08:26 |
| TLUL | buckfast: yes, linux can understand ntfs partitions. My Windows install can't seem to understand any Linux filesystems though. | 08:26 |

| TLUL | Oops | 08:27 |

| theadmin | Josh90: Sure thing, you can do this. | 08:27 |
| sprung | bazhang, the assassination part was a joke, but seriously why is ext4 included in ubuntu if it is fatally buggy like that | 08:27 |

| mneptok | sprung: what version of Ubuntu were you using? | 08:29 |
| chelz | geekyogi: booting to it doesn't work? sounds like you might have a bad disc. try burning another or use unetbootin to put ubuntu on a usb flashdrive | 08:30 |
| sprung | mneptok, most current, very fresh install actually i reinstalled not a month ago | 08:30 |
| Josh90 | theadmin: I not sure how too. | 08:30 |
| buckfast | chelz: lol, that's true | 08:30 |
| geekyogi | clelz I've tried 3 distros.. fedora, redhat, ubuntu.. | 08:30 |
| sprung | mneptok, i do a lot of usenet downloading and that can often involve files with 0 byte value when they are assembling. | 08:31 |
| sprung | mneptok, there's some sort of but with ext4 that flips out with 0 byte files | 08:31 |
| chelz | geekyogi: do you get the same or similar messages when you try to boot them? | 08:31 |
| sprung | and suddenly POOF no more desktop files | 08:31 |
| geekyogi | never | 08:31 |
| geekyogi | chelz : never.. I had these kinda messages | 08:32 |
| sprung | and even better, i'm using encryptfs on my home dir so they're not only missing but totally unrecoverable | 08:32 |
| chelz | geekyogi: to fix grub you need to get into a live environment of some kind. ideally ubuntu karmic | 08:32 |
| sprung | but hey this is offtopic i have to stop mneptok you really shouldn't have asked me that question because i got started again | 08:32 |
| theadmin | Josh90: Open a terminal, enter this: "sudo usermod -p newpassword username" | 08:32 |
| geekyogi | any other method to fix grub..??? without live cd | 08:33 |
| theadmin | geekyogi: Well, LiveUSB maybe | 08:33 |
| mneptok | sprung: your current discussion is not, as it relates to support and information about the issue you are having. discussing assassinations is not on-topic. | 08:33 |
| geekyogi | will try tat.. | 08:33 |
| sprung | mneptok, well that's because some people have no sense of obviously i'm kidding | 08:33 |
| spekko | geekyogi, whats your problem exactly? | 08:34 |
| mneptok | sprung: the only 0-byte file issue i know of with ext4 is the filesystem replacing files with 0-byte version after a crash. and that was patched by Ted Ts'o last spring. | 08:34 |
| mneptok | sprung: kidding or not, it has not relation to Ubuntu support. | 08:34 |
| mneptok | s/not/no/ | 08:34 |
| sprung | mneptok, that's almost what happened | 08:34 |
| sprung | mneptok, i think what happened is it affected my entire /home/sprung/Desktop directory at once | 08:35 |

| sprung | mneptok, they're huge bureaucrats | 08:36 |
| sprung | watch it happen. | 08:36 |
| mneptok | sprung: this bit is off-topic. please let's get back to the issue. | 08:37 |
| DVS01 | eh.. what happened? | 08:37 |
| chelz | geekyogi: http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala | 08:37 |
| sprung | mneptok, so all my files vanished off the face of the earth during a processing of a usenet download | 08:37 |
| sprung | on the Desktop anyway | 08:37 |
| mneptok | sprung: FWIW, i use ext4 extensively in production and i have yet to see an issue like this (knock wood). so i would not rule out the possibility of hardware failure. it may your drive is actually heading south. | 08:38 |
| sprung | i use hellanzb, which watches the Desktop folder for .nzb files i download and grabs them and processes them, then outputs them back to the desktop | 08:38 |
| TLUL | sprung: I have had no issues with ext4. | 08:38 |
| sprung | well, what i do is pretty intensive | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres been some people with ext4 issues.. so its been known tohappen. | 08:38 |
| sprung | i get all kinds of corrupt files to process from usenet | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Use ext3 if you perfer I guess. | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | sprung: ive not heard of that issue. | 08:39 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz , could this be any hardware problem.?? | 08:39 |
| sprung | well usenet downloads will definitely put any filesystem through the ringer as far as whether it's stable or not | 08:39 |
| DVS01 | sprung: could it be the downloaded files themselves? | 08:39 |
| sprung | you get corrupt downloads that must be repaired with .par files | 08:39 |
| DVS01 | sprung: do your downloads come with PAR volumes? | 08:39 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: are you sure when you boot an ubuntu livecd you select "try ubuntu"? | 08:39 |
| sprung | DVS01, oh absolutely | 08:39 |
| DVS01 | ok good | 08:40 |
| DVS01 | i love par | 08:40 |
| sprung | DVS01, usenet is a dirty dirty file corruption hellhole | 08:40 |
| sprung | that is a known thing | 08:40 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz I tried both 'try' and install | 08:40 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz same error | 08:40 |
| sprung | DVS01, it is so bad that there is a system with each download of including .par files to repair corrupted files | 08:40 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: is there a way for you to take a picture of the error and upload the picture? | 08:40 |
| mneptok | sprung: have you spent time on Launchpad looking for other people with the same symptom you experienced? using Karmic? with current kernels? | 08:40 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz I'll do tat | 08:41 |
| sprung | mneptok, all my stuff was current at the time | 08:41 |
| sprung | mneptok, i update immediately, and this OS was a fresh install not a month ago. | 08:41 |
| sprung | with Karmic. | 08:41 |
| === golddragon24_ is now known as golddragon24 | ||
| sprung | and yes, i have seen some similar problems | 08:41 |
| mneptok | sprung: right, so before you blame the filesystem itself, do you have any evidence other than your anecdotal experience, that this issue is actually a filesystem issue? | 08:41 |
| sprung | and i also see in the kernel changelog there's a LOT of bugfixes with cryptfs on ext4 | 08:42 |
| mneptok | sprung: dm-crypt / LVM? | 08:42 |
| sprung | mneptok, huh, good question how do i check | 08:43 |

| Ragelor | hi, is there someone who can help me to get pulseaudio working??? | 08:44 |

| === raven is now known as _raven | ||
| TLUL | So what exactly is sprung's issue with his filesystem? | 08:44 |
| mneptok | sprung: yes, the home encryption uses ecryptfs. i use dm-crypt to encrypt entire partitions instead. which has worked very well with ext4. | 08:44 |
| sprung | TLUL, oh nothing, just everything on my desktop vanished without a trace for no reason at all and no logs | 08:44 |
| chelz | Ragelor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 08:45 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : gimme 5 min.. where should I upload? | 08:45 |
| sprung | TLUL, no big deal or anything i mean heck, who needs files on their desktops | 08:45 |
| chelz | !pastebin | geekyogi1 | 08:45 |
| ubottu | geekyogi1: 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. | 08:45 |
| mneptok | sprung: you are wandering back off-topic. | 08:45 |
| theadmin | I never keep anything on desktop :D But I did have random file dissapearing back in Jaunty | 08:45 |
| sprung | mneptok, right so i'm using encryptfs | 08:45 |
| sprung | the problem may actually be fixed now | 08:46 |
| sprung | i just updated the kernel | 08:46 |
| sprung | but it doesn't fix the files, which thanks guys for rubbing in "you know, if you had backed up you would still have your files" | 08:46 |
| Ragelor | chelz: the article is about alsa ... alsa is working - but i cant start pulseaudio ... | 08:46 |
| mneptok | sprung: the kernel release in the past 24h was for a CVE, not ext4 issues, AFAIK. | 08:46 |
| sprung | actually there were quite a few encryptfs issues on the changelog, i just read it | 08:47 |
| mneptok | sprung: right you are if you say so. | 08:47 |
| [BT]Brendan | chelz, I went through the instructions with no success. | 08:47 |
| sprung | so basically where you are stuck on mneptok is whether i should blame ext4 or encryptfs. | 08:47 |
| mneptok | sprung: and the "rubbing it in" part is off-topic. please stay on-topic and only relay that information that will help you get support. ranting does not. | 08:48 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: do you have pluggings installed??? | 08:48 |
| RedBand | In Baobab, it shows "Total filesystem capacity. 362.6 GB (used: 338.6 GB available: 24.0 GB). Yet for my home folder, it says 100% Usage. In both nautilus and Thunar, it says I have 3.7 GB free. Any ideas on why both file managers aren't recognizing my freespace? Also, I just fixed a problem where I couldn't log in because of the free space. | 08:48 |
| mneptok | sprung: or the app you were using. or faulty hardware. | 08:48 |
| sprung | mneptok, you're kind of leading me with a carrot with this conversation quite frankly | 08:48 |
| mneptok | sprung: how so? | 08:49 |
| Ragelor | archboxman: i installed nearly everything with pulse, except the debugging-packages | 08:49 |
| mneptok | sprung: if anything, i'm trying to lead you to accepting that immediately balming the filesystem may be premature. | 08:49 |
| sprung | mneptok, well, you want to know what happened yet you are challenging me | 08:49 |
| Ragelor | at least ps -A|grep pulse doesnt show me pulse to be working ... | 08:49 |
| theadmin | RedBand: Sounds like some fs problem to me | 08:49 |
| mneptok | *blaming | 08:49 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: system > preference > volume control no luck on getting audio settings??? | 08:50 |

| mneptok | sprung: i am not challenging the fact you say files disappeared. i'm challenging that you *know* it was a bug in ext4 that caused it. | 08:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !undelete | daho | 08:50 |
| ubottu | daho: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 08:50 |

| RedBand | theadmin, does that have to do with fstab or kernel updates? | 08:51 |
| Ragelor | archboxman: can use audio through alsa - but i need 2 soundcards next weekend - so i want to use pulse ... | 08:51 |
| theadmin | RedBand: Neh neither don't seem the problem. Hard shutdowns/reboots may be | 08:52 |
| soreau | swiftarrow: Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz &' from your terminal to pastebin.com? | 08:52 |
| chelz | daho: turning off the affected computer as quickly as possible is generally a good idea | 08:52 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, just a minute | 08:52 |
| quick_lappy | Anybody able to answer my question above? How do I switch my screen color from 32 bit to 16 bit in ubuntu 9.10? | 08:52 |

| mneptok | sprung: then you should /part the channel | 08:53 |

| Gryllida | Hi. Suppose I've installed a STS version of Ubuntu and did some things (for example, installed LyX and changed wallpaper).

| RedBand | yea, it's running for me. I'll reboot and let it run (i've been cancelling it out all day). | 08:55 |
| mneptok | Gryllida: an upgrade will preserve apps and settings. | 08:56 |

| soreau | swiftarrow: I have heard of people having the same problem with that intel gpu. Something is wrong with the drivers in karmic and it is blacklisted, probably for this reason | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Gryllida: Updates shouldent be affecting the users settings | 08:56 |

| mneptok | Gryllida: i'm sure Google can tell you. i know from experience. | 08:57 |

| chelz | geekyogi1: have you tried with a liveusb? | 08:57 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, is it a driver problem, or is it a compiz problem. I'm using the 2.4 intel driver to get rid of X freezing. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Gryllida: i dont recall ever seeing a apt package ive instgalled that ever messed with the users /home/user/WHATEVER files. | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Gryllida: thats part of how the apt system works. | 08:58 |
| soreau | swiftarrow: It is a problem with the intel driver. Compiz is fine. | 08:58 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, It's my mom's laptop, she'll scream if I re-install the os one.more.time. :) | 08:58 |

| swiftarrow | soreau, is it possible to use the 8.04 intel driver in 9.10? | 08:59 |
| igie | hi, i just restarted 9.10 and now i cannot mount my internal HD, anyone know why? or how to fix? | 08:59 |

| DexterLB | hi | 08:59 |
| DexterLB | I can't remove/install/do any dpkg operations with package mpd because of the following error: /etc/mpd.conf must have pid_file set; cannot stop daemon. | 08:59 |
| DexterLB | I want to purge mpd. what should I do? | 08:59 |
| DexterLB | (I have accidently removed mpd.conf ) | 09:00 |
| Ragelor | archman: i used the german ubuntu-wiki but i try your link! | 09:00 |
| ManuLau | i have a comp. with 4gb ram dual core 2 cpu and Nvidia 8600M GT comp... would it be best to install karmic 64 bit or 32 bit on this laptop? | 09:00 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, ok, thanks for your help. If you can think of anything more, there's a thread going on about this over here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309667&page=2 | 09:00 |
| soreau | swiftarrow: The other thing you can try is upgrading to the latest intel driver user space components, to see if it helps. Maybe you can look into the xorg-edgers repo, though I don't know if it offers intel components | 09:00 |
| bazhang | ManuLau, up to you; if karmic and you wish 32 bit then install linux-generic-pae to access all of the 4GB | 09:01 |
| chelz | DexterLB: try "sudo touch /etc/mpd.conf" | 09:01 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, I was looking at that, but am a little apprehensive. I'll give it a shot though... | 09:01 |
| chelz | DexterLB: also "sudo killall mpd" | 09:01 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, any idea why X just restarts instead of freezing or something? is it some new failsafe? | 09:01 |
| chelz | ManuLau: depends on what you plan to be doing. most users run fine with 32bit. | 09:01 |
| soreau | swiftarrow: It probably wont do any more harm than good.. if you do try latest user space components, it might be a good idea to couple it with a latest kernel possibly from ppa repo | 09:02 |
| ManuLau | bazhang, kk i stick to 32 bit | 09:02 |
| DexterLB | chelz: don't work | 09:02 |
| DexterLB | but I created a mpd.conf with mpd on another PC and copied it to that | 09:02 |
| DexterLB | and it worked | 09:02 |
| DexterLB | mpd purged | 09:02 |
| DexterLB | :) | 09:02 |

| chelz | igie: is it another hdd? | 09:03 |
| igie | chelz: yes, two of them actually | 09:03 |
| swiftarrow | soreau, also, since the functionality has dissapeared with the upgrade to 9.10, would it come back? wouldn't my hardware, once abandoned, be left forever? | 09:03 |
| chelz | igie: http://tombott.com/Automatically_Mount_Additional_HD_in_Ubuntu_8.10_and_Ubuntu_9.04 - read carefully | 09:03 |

| ManuLau | Then i have another issue i want to be able to use my UPEK touchdriver but all time i cant get it to work... i been messing with Thinkfinger cause most of the compal barebones use same components as Lenovo. | 09:04 |
| igie | Chelz: ok, i'll give it a shot | 09:04 |
| igie | thanks | 09:04 |
| soreau | swiftarrow: I cannot say. You could ask in #intel-gfx for more info. That guide looks decent, but it is designed for 9.04 | 09:05 |
| Ragelor | archboxman: thx, the deamon seems to be running ... may i restart my session to give amarok a new try ;-) | 09:05 |

| Dr_Willis | shawnboy: btween 2 linux boxs? | 09:17 |
| Gryllida | Was there any negative experience / file damage when you updated to a newer version of Ubuntu? Or is updating Ubuntu as simple as updating Mozilla Firefox? | 09:17 |
| chelz | shawnboy: as long as you put your pubkey in the authorized files, it should work | 09:17 |
| shawnboy | client is karmic. server is freenas box downstairs. | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Gryllida: there shouldent be any negative issues | 09:17 |
| Dr_Willis | Gryllida: in theory, | 09:17 |
| swiftarrow | chelz, ok, I'll trust that. does 845G qualify as an i85xx chipset? | 09:17 |
| bjorn | Is it possible to have the keyring unlocked by default? | 09:18 |
| shawnboy | I put id_rsa.pub in authorized_keys list on freenas box. I ssh from karmic and it still prompts for password. | 09:18 |

| jeeez | hi, i just did the automatic update thing. i think it screwed the my nvidia drivers and my system wont boot into GUI. using finch, so kinda SOS! any help? | 09:21 |
| shawnboy | I just gave it a quick glance. It looks a lot like info in other tutorials I've gone through. If I used a passphrase to protect my rsa key, does that mean I'll be prompted for THAT when I ssh into server? | 09:21 |
| Kerio | Im trying to set a system which i intend to use as a server, 400w PSU, ati 3870 intel dual core and a p45 gigabyte chipset. Everything spins in the box but i dont get a picture. Totally black screen. I have tried the 3870 gfx in another box - and it is working. Is it that the 3870 cant start with 400w psu or is the motherboard broken? any ideas? | 09:21 |
| spekko | chelz, ty :) solved it. i had this problem "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1264151&highlight=grub+invalid+signature&page=2" | 09:21 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: did it fix your system | 09:21 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : usb had same error | 09:21 |
| Ragelor | archboxman, i think its running - ... at least amarok plays through pulse to my onboard card | 09:22 |
| Ragelor | archboxman, i am just looking, where my usb-device is :/ | 09:22 |
| chelz | igie: ah. that could be due to all kinds of issues. have you tried restarting? | 09:22 |
| jeeez | anyone? :( | 09:22 |
| chelz | igie: or checking the usb drives? | 09:23 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: no one tells you that xubuntu is not as full featured of a desktop as gnome or kde are... | 09:23 |
| igie | chelz: yes i've tried restarting after i followed the instructions on the page you gave me I restarted | 09:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm lighter normally means 'less features' to me | 09:23 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : windows install also failed | 09:23 |
| chelz | jeeez: try reinstalling the nvidia drivers | 09:23 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: no one tells you that xubuntu is not as full featured of a desktop as gnome or kde are... | 09:23 |
| Ragelor | archboxman, just read the german wiki ... and there stands, that pulse works out of the box with all desktops (kde,xfce, gnome) since hardy ... | 09:24 |
| jeeez | chelz: i'm not able to access the drives that have the drivers. it says access denied, even when i tried sudo cd | 09:24 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: have you ever gotten an OS to work on the thing? | 09:24 |
| igie | chelz: Its weird, It was working fine, i restarted and then nothing was working anymore... No clue why.... at least the hard drive show up now.. But when I plug in a USB.. nothing happens | 09:24 |
| chelz | jeeez: boot into recovery mode and try stuff | 09:24 |
| jeeez | chelz: oh yeah! never struck me. :| thanks! | 09:24 |
| chelz | igie: could try restarting again | 09:25 |
| archboxman | Ragelor: I've used it still needs some tweeks to work :) ubuntu hypes up to much stuff even with this release of ubuntu 9.10 to much hype | 09:25 |
| igie | chelz: i guess it can't hurt... brb | 09:25 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : lol. yeah.. it has been working well for 3 yrs since today.! :P I never touched the grub files.. so I think its not able to read the hard. disks.. | 09:26 |

| chelz | geekyogi1: booting to a livecd should have nothing to do with the status of hard disks | 09:26 |
| Ragelor | archboxman, thx :) ... i will give my usb-card a try ... bye | 09:26 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : ah.. den der is something else wrong.. perhaps RAM..?? | 09:27 |
| chelz | Kerio: should talk to your motherboard people | 09:27 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: well things boot but i have never seen that error before | 09:27 |
| shawnboy | hmmm. ok. I just tried something from that page: ssh -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey and got "Permission Denied (publickey,password)" | 09:27 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : Hmm..now its time for Dell support. :P | 09:27 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: it always says "/caspeb/initrd.lz"? even with the usb? | 09:27 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz : yeah | 09:28 |
| shawnboy | guess I have something not so simple wrong. Guess I'll have to keep poking around at it. maybe I need a chmod. | 09:28 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: google has absolutely no results for that. have you tried verifying the md5sums of the disc images you have? | 09:28 |
| archboxman | Kerio: you sure the ram is setted correctly and har drive is put in the right connection there are lost of variables to consider when building your own system...That is why I double check all my steps... | 09:29 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: you could also try pointing a torrent at the isos you have to check them and repair them if necessary | 09:29 |
| faultyground | Hey, is there by chance a termincal command o check cpu temp? | 09:29 |

| geekyogi1 | chelz : I've tried more than 7 linux distros.. | 09:29 |
| chelz | shawnboy: try to connect like you do with putty only have ssh with "-vvv" and pastebin it | 09:29 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: verified the sums of all of them? | 09:29 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| archboxman | Kerio: you sure the video card is setted correctly | 09:30 |
| archboxman | Kerio: this is why I double check every thing before through the power on.... | 09:30 |
| Kerio | only one harddrive connected, sata as well as power, have tried switching around the ram slots. But the bios should still start dont you think? | 09:30 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz: all ubuntu machine show the same error.. other distros don't show a thing.. dey just reboot.. yeah all are verified.. | 09:30 |
| chelz | Kerio: does it beep at all? | 09:30 |
| Kerio | even if a ram would be faulty | 09:30 |
| shawnboy | chelz: I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what u mean about -vvv and pastebin. Also, putty is on XP, I'm in karmic now (no Putty). | 09:30 |
| Kerio | i havent connected any speaker | 09:30 |
| Kerio | (dont have on) | 09:31 |
| Kerio | one* | 09:31 |
| chelz | shawnboy: do "ssh -vvv" and whatever else you do, and pastebin its output | 09:31 |
| chelz | Kerio: mobos beep using the pcspeaker if stuff is wrong | 09:31 |
| chelz | ie you don't need speakers | 09:31 |
| archboxman | Kerio: the cmos should have ran up and you should be able to press f1 , f2 or f10 to enter your bios??? | 09:31 |
| Kerio | i got a theory that pherhaps because it is a big fat gfx (ati 3870) and only i 400w psu, but it should still be able to show a picture right? | 09:32 |
| buckfast | For some reason I can't access the apcupsd CGI interface. page not found. What could be the problem | 09:33 |
| Kerio | i have veryfied that the gfx is working in another machine | 09:33 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: what distros have you tried with unetbootin? | 09:33 |
| rosco | bazhang: would asking questions as how to get lubuntu onto the laptop be on-topic? | 09:33 |
| shawnboy | chelz: oh my gosh! ok. but before I do that... an easy question that I wondered may be cause of this.. if my username on karmic is diff than username I'm loggin into SSH server with, does that matter when it comes to using the key? | 09:33 |
| igie | chelz: restarted to no avail... still not recognizing usb drives, any more nifty links? ;) | 09:33 |
| chelz | shawnboy: yes. you need to do "ssh -l username" | 09:33 |
| shawnboy | (oh my gosh because the huge output. guess -vvv means super verbose) | 09:33 |
| [BT]Brendan | chelz, sorry to keep bugging the instructions were basically the same as the other ones and don't seem to work at all for me. | 09:34 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz: ubuntu 9.10 | 09:34 |
| shawnboy | yep, was always doing that. just wanted to make sure. | 09:34 |
| swiftarrow | Hi, how do I create an xorg.conf file in ubuntu 9.10? | 09:34 |
| archboxman | Kerio: not even close the 3870 only requires a 400 watt psu | 09:35 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: and you got the exact same message? | 09:36 |
| chelz | igie: do you get any dmesg output when you plug in a usb device? | 09:36 |
| Kerio | "450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express® power connector" | 09:36 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz: yup | 09:36 |
| chelz | [BT]Brendan: np. i haven't had that issue so my best guess would be to poke around the ubuntu sound troubleshooting article | 09:36 |
| Kerio | but it shouldn't fail getting bios on screen cause of 50w? | 09:36 |
| Kerio | or what do you think? | 09:37 |
| chelz | geekyogi1: try this: http://boot.kernel.org and try ubuntu | 09:37 |
| igie | chelz: i'm not sure what a dmesg is, but nothing happens when i plug them in. (tried more than one, more than once) | 09:37 |
| geekyogi1 | chelz: k. | 09:37 |
| igie | chelz: nothing shows up in places either | 09:37 |
| archboxman | Kerio: got that 450 watts is what they say if you use a lot of usbs or have a lot of pci cards... :) | 09:37 |
| Kerio | allright, så prolly broken motherboard then? :) | 09:38 |
| chelz | igie: in a terminal do "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then plug in a usb device and see if any new messages pop up. if they do, pastebin it | 09:38 |
| shawnboy | chelz: output is at... http://pastebin.com/d4fac27f0 | 09:38 |
| archboxman | Kerio: unplug cd rom or dvd player and run up the system will cause less drain on computer power | 09:38 |
| chelz | Kerio: try another gfx card | 09:38 |
| iflema | swiftarrow look at the Xorg ma page ' man Xorg ' the -configure option is the one...... | 09:38 |
| Kerio | dont have any other :( | 09:39 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, good point. | 09:39 |
| meowbuntu | hi is a usb live install good to use for my main os | 09:39 |
| archboxman | Kerio: unplug the cd rom and dvd rom it will cause less of a drain on power and then test the system | 09:39 |
| chelz | shawnboy: then it quits? | 09:40 |
| Kerio | but im gonna try without cdrom and hdd | 09:40 |
| swiftarrow | running Xorg -configure gives fatal error: server is already running | 09:40 |
| shawnboy | then it prompts me for password | 09:40 |
| chelz | swiftarrow: from a console (ctrl-alt-F1) "sudo services gdm stop" | 09:40 |
| archboxman | Kerio: NO leave that hard drive alone | 09:40 |
| shawnboy | chelz: this is output from doing $ssh -l shawnboy 192... | 09:40 |

| chelz | shawnboy: did you add your generated pubkey to authorized_keys ? | 09:41 |
| igie | chelz: here's what comes up --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/370114/ | 09:41 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, hmm.. | 09:41 |
| shawnboy | yep. scp'd it to freenas, then did cat id_rsa.pub >> /path/to/authorized_keys | 09:41 |
| iflema | swiftarrow do some googling | 09:42 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, that hotkey caused me to lose the screen :( | 09:42 |
| shawnboy | chelz: then I did cat authorized_keys and it was there. | 09:42 |
| Kerio | archboxman: why? worst case scenario? :) | 09:42 |
| iflema | swiftarrow hold ALT and press the left arrow a few times | 09:42 |
| shawnboy | chelz: ya think rsa is confusing it? I think dsa is default in freenas. | 09:42 |
| chelz | shawnboy: sure, gen a dsa | 09:43 |
| archboxman | Kerio: don't play with it I never remove a hard drive and rebuilt over 1000 systems no need... were not after this much power.... | 09:43 |
| chelz | igie: so what happened before this started happening? | 09:43 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, I finally got tty5... what does the alt+left arrow do? | 09:44 |
| chelz | shawnboy: did you take the .pub out of your ~/.ssh also? | 09:44 |
| shawnboy | chelz: but, i remember when i used to do it from Putty on XP it did work with RSA. Hmmm. I may reboot into XP and try just to test that THAT still works, then come back here. | 09:44 |
| shawnboy | chelz: uh... no i don't think i removed the .pub | 09:44 |
| igie | chelz: I was playing around adding users and changing preferences of users and trying out chown commands, but not sure what I did wrong... I tried to undo everything i did, but nothing gets it back to how it was. | 09:44 |
| iflema | if you pressed alt+ctrl+F2..... then holding alt + left arrow 3 times will get screen back | 09:45 |
| chelz | shawnboy: move it somwhere besides ~/.ssh and try again | 09:45 |
| chelz | swiftarrow: press ctrl+alt+f7 | 09:45 |
| shawnboy | chelz: k | 09:45 |
| Tyiuo | Hello guys, ubuntu noob here, can someone how to do a *safe* upgrade to php 5.3.1 using apt, if Im currently running PHP Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5.10 ? | 09:46 |
| chelz | igie: did you change any prefs of /media or anything inside it? | 09:46 |
| Tyiuo | on ubuntu hardy( | 09:46 |
| chelz | igie: also what's the output of "groups youruser" | 09:46 |
| igie | chelz: yes, i changed tons in /media | 09:46 |
| archboxman | Kerio: what the outcome???? | 09:46 |
| shawnboy | chelz: U DUH GURU. that worked. possible to tell me short answer as to why that fixed it? and THANKS. I never would've figured that out in a million. | 09:47 |
| swiftarrow | chelz, cntr+alt+f7 doesn't work properly. It's ok, i'm goign to hard power cycle. It finally generated the xorg after stopping gdm | 09:47 |
| chelz | Tyiuo: are you sure you need php 5.3.x? | 09:47 |
| swiftarrow | now running startx give blank screen. | 09:47 |
| chelz | swiftarrow: f7 is your desktop, if gdm is running | 09:47 |
| igie | chelz: how do i determine "what's the output of "groups youruser"" ? sorry i'm still very green and learning along the way | 09:47 |
| shawnboy | chelz: poop. got me one step closer. | 09:47 |
| swiftarrow | chelz, yes, thanks | 09:47 |
| Tyiuo | chelz, yes unfortunately this bug http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=46578 is ruining me and is only fixed in 5.3.x | 09:47 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, thanks | 09:48 |
| chelz | shawnboy: oh i just remember that from some guides. strange that the guide i linked didn't mention that, it should have | 09:48 |
| chelz | shawnboy: eh | 09:48 |

| shawnboy | chelz: prompts me for PASSPHRASE now, which makes sense (not password) but then for some reason doesn't work. i'll look at it more closely to see if I can get a clue. | 09:48 |
| chelz | Tyiuo: one way to install later packages is to do apt-pinning, only it does get pretty risky. | 09:48 |
| iflema | swiftarrow is that sarcasm? xorg.conf.new should be in ya home directory.... | 09:49 |
| chelz | shawnboy: passphrase sounds like the key you made has a passphrase | 09:49 |
| BeeStone | hi | 09:49 |
| Tyiuo | chelz thanks, as I said Im a noob at all of this, but its not common for people to upgrade to latest versions of php? What is the normal recourse? | 09:49 |
| swiftarrow | iflema, no, not sarcasm. Yes, it finally generated, and it's in my home dir. thanks, sincerely | 09:49 |
| iflema | kk | 09:49 |
| Tyiuo | (ie if its risky, its probably something I shouldnt do) | 09:49 |
| esicam | How to join two partitions? | 09:50 |
| chelz | Tyiuo: people normally just take the version their OS is offering. then wait for a later version in a later release of the distro. but sometimes people do need later versions of packages and apt-pinning is one way to get them. here: http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html | 09:50 |
| igie | chelz: I changed my "user privileges to include "FUSE" and VirtualBox. But I undid all of those changes after i messed things up. | 09:50 |
| BeeStone | Have you guys tested Radeon HD3xxx -series GPUs with that non-opensource (i'm not sure what it is in english..) GPU driver in Ubuntu 9.10? | 09:51 |
| shawnboy | chelz: I searched that page for all ".pub" references and it doesn't mention removing the id_rsa.pub from the orig dir. that would be helpful in docs. thanks again. I'll see if I can't figure out what's holding me up now. | 09:51 |
| chelz | esicam: no way. you can grow/shrink them and copy the contents of one into another then delete the smaller one | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | esicam: one way.. shrink one.. enlarge other.. copy stuff over... repeate as needed. | 09:51 |
| Dr_Willis | esicam: i dident say it was a good way. :) | 09:51 |

| Tyiuo | chelz oh I see that makes sense, so ubuntu hardy is not offering php 5.3 yet, do things normally take a long time? Thanks for the pinning link Ill look into it :) | 09:52 |

| infid | heh | 09:56 |
| BeeStone | daemonvs with wine i think yes | 09:56 |
| BeeStone | but rythmbox should do the trick | 09:56 |
| shawnboy | chelz: Oops, actually that page does list "rm id_rsa.pub" after uploading it to server,but it doesn't explain why and I figre I may need to use it on another server, so I kept it where it was. | 09:56 |
| chelz | igie: you can try looking through your ~/.bash_history to see if you didn't anything that you didn't revert | 09:56 |
| Dr_Willis | !itunes | 09:56 |
| ubottu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 09:56 |

| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| chelz | shawnboy: did you generate a dsa? | 09:58 |

| ezrafree | hello | 10:09 |
| Owner | I have created an exception in PAM, so a single user can log-in without entering a pwd. If the user now logs out, or the session dies (and gets restarted), the "login screen" (DisplayManager) shows. All the user then needs to do, is click his name (the only one in the list) and his session authenticates correctly. Can I skip the "login screen" completely, instead? | 10:09 |
| ezrafree | can anyone tell me (or point me to an article online that tells me) how to get rid of the older kernels i'm given the option to boot into in grub? | 10:09 |

| hyperstream | Dantonic, just googling around on the topic, I had a similar situation here; try right-clicking on a text file in Nautilus and choose "Properties" and changing the default preferred program there. That's what finally worked in my case. (different application, perhaps same process?) | 10:47 |
| Dantonic | hyperstream, ok let me try thanks | 10:48 |
| chelz | freeride: do these: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Dual-booting | 10:48 |
| charles__ | should i use "gksudo gedit" or will just "sudo gedit" suffice? | 10:48 |
| eviltoaster | hi, i added an nfs share to my fstab but it does not mount at bootup.. if i do mount -a everything works :S | 10:49 |
| rww | ubottu: gksudo | charles__ | 10:49 |
| ubottu | charles__: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 10:49 |
| chelz | miha: worth a shot | 10:49 |
| fornix | charles__, both work. thats what i observed | 10:49 |
| rww | charles__: in other words, use gksudo :) | 10:49 |
| fornix | gksudo just gives u a graphical password menu. sudo will giv u a prompt command. i think thats the only difference. i may be wrong | 10:49 |
| rww | fornix: there's a link in the ubottu factoid above with more information. | 10:50 |
| charles__ | fair enough, it's a habit i had been in, i was just wondering if i was indulging in overkill or not :D | 10:50 |
| chelz | fornix: there's a bit more to it than that | 10:50 |
| Isy | hello! | 10:50 |
| chelz | charles__: better safe than sorry | 10:50 |
| chelz | !hi | Isy | 10:50 |
| ubottu | Isy: 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! | 10:50 |
| fornix | rww, yes.. looking at it. i myself never used gksudo :P | 10:50 |
| Dantonic | hyperstream, I tried, but there's no setting in there for sound juicer. I hit the reset button nevertheless for the open with setting... it still opens with sound juicer... | 10:51 |
| chelz | eviltoaster: http://tombott.com/Automatically_Mount_Additional_HD_in_Ubuntu_8.10_and_Ubuntu_9.04 - read carefully | 10:51 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1218026.html | 10:51 |
| rww | Dantonic: Open a file browser (nautilus), then do edit -> preferences -> media, see if it's on there. | 10:52 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, teaches you how to set it as a preferred default app, | 10:52 |
| eviltoaster | chelz, thanks | 10:52 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, err hold on | 10:52 |
| hyperstream | yes | 10:52 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, second post. | 10:53 |
| Dantonic | ok thanks a lot hyperstream yes there's the setting I see it!! | 10:53 |
| nozes | yes | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | why is it that even when i share a folder on the network I cannot see it on other computers? | 10:53 |
| alabd | hello , is there any driver for this dail up modem > Creative Modem Blaster V.90 PCI DI5655 | 10:53 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, nps, thank google :D | 10:53 |
| boss_mc | zetheroo: are all the computers in the same workgroup? | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | using Ubuntu for over 4 years and still cannot get this sharing thing working properly | 10:53 |
| zetheroo | boss_mc: how would I check that? | 10:53 |
| Dantonic | hyperstream, just out of curiosity, what did you type in google to find that? cause I searched as well | 10:54 |
| Dantonic | rww, also thanks | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: try entering the ip of the server instead of the host/machine name.. also try entering the full path to the share. | 10:54 |
| chelz | !smb | zetheroo | 10:54 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 10:54 |
| boss_mc | zetheroo: on windows right click on 'My Computer' and hit properties, on linux check /etc/samba/smb.conf | 10:54 |
| hyperstream | http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sound+juicer+ubuntu+default+application | 10:54 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: ive had some issues where i had to edit teh hosts file to get the names/ips right | 10:54 |
| Dantonic | ah hehe cool... thanks again hyperstream | 10:55 |
| zetheroo | so all in all sharing data over network is not fluid in Ubuntu ... right!? | 10:55 |
| ae86-drifter_ | wats a good kernel for use with a server that constantly running | 10:55 |
| chelz | zetheroo: should work fine. just doing stuff through properties | 10:55 |
| hyperstream | Dantonic, nps man :) | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | i should be able to right-click a folder and share it ... period ... but it does not work like that it seems | 10:56 |
| chelz | ae86-drifter_: default ubuntu server kernel should do fine | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | chelz: been through that hundreds of times ... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't | 10:56 |
| chelz | zetheroo: well troubleshoot if you care to find out why | 10:56 |
| jefimenko | my sound works with alsa (i.e. when i use aplay or "mplayer -ao alsa"), but i don't hear anything through pulse. any ideas? | 10:56 |
| zetheroo | extremely hit and miss | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: if your workgroups are not the same it can cause issues.. windows firewall can cause issues | 10:56 |
| ae86-drifter_ | chelz, tht wat im usin | 10:56 |
| hyperstream | !pulse | jefimenko | 10:56 |
| ubottu | jefimenko: PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: ive also nioticved that windows is a bit weird about seeing shares/machines with my newest router. Not sure what the deal is with it. | 10:57 |
| chelz | !LTS ae86-drifter_ | 10:57 |
| chelz | !LTS | ae86-drifter_ | 10:57 |
| ubottu | ae86-drifter_: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 10:57 |
| freeride | chelz doesn't work. win7 is in the boot menu but doesn't boot. I had a problem while installing windows partion was for example on hd0 but then in ubuntu it became hd1. It's easy to fix in grub but not in grub2. so that's the problem | 10:57 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: but this is not even with Windows machines ... even with other Ubuntu machines its super erratic | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: sometimes the xp and Vista box see each other (wired) and some times they dont | 10:57 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, i was the same as you until last week, i have the perfect guide bookmarked | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: so ive found shareing with windows just as eratic | 10:57 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, give me a sec mate | 10:57 |
| chelz | freeride: you did osprobe? | 10:57 |
| zetheroo | hyperstream: ok | 10:57 |
| ae86-drifter_ | im usin 9.10 server edition | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: i went throgh each box and made sure their hosts/ips were right.. and set teh router to reserve the ips for the righ machines. (or set them to be static) and ive not had much problems sence | 10:58 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis; I understand if maybe from Linux to Windows it can be a bit iffy ... but Linux to Linux? ... that should be a sinch | 10:58 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 | 10:58 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: you would think windows to windows would work also wouldent you.. but again.. my HOSTS/IP#'s seem to been the main issue for all the m achines | 10:58 |
| freeride | chelz i did | 10:58 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, thats for linux - windows ;/ | 10:58 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, works similar for ubuntu to ubuntu tho | 10:59 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: yeah ... that is not at all a user-friendly thing to have to tell people that they have to do to share data on the network | 10:59 |
| chelz | freeride: and ubuntu works fine? | 10:59 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, i set my main pc up(its dynamic but i still did the wins thing sorted it all out for me) | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: ive had to fight with windows only networks as well. | 10:59 |
| zetheroo | hyperstream: ok thanks | 10:59 |
| jefimenko | hyperstream: thanks, but i know what pulseaudio is an i have been searching and working on this for a few days to no avail :( | 10:59 |
| freeride | chelz oh yeah, ubuntu works, did you mean why do i want win7? :D | 10:59 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: I know ... but I have never had to do static IP addressing with Windows XP for instance ... | 11:00 |
| chelz | freeride: no, just curious that grub2 doesn't work just for 7 | 11:00 |
| hyperstream | jefimenko, pastebin your asound.rc please | 11:00 |
| hyperstream | jefimenko, asound.conf * | 11:00 |
| freeride | chelz but grub worked great, should i downgrade grub? | 11:00 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: becasue with windows theres some service thats supposed to let windows machines see the network and map hostname->ip properly. (wins server i think) that gets confused.. and the whole network gets confused | 11:01 |
| atlef_ | freeride: have you tried sudo update-grub | 11:01 |
| chelz | freeride: it looks like it's pointing to the right place if 7 is on sda. i guess you could try downgrading | 11:01 |
| freeride | atlef_ i did | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: then you get into multi-wins servers on thelan fighting.. :) | 11:01 |
| jefimenko | hyperstream: ~/.asoundrc ? | 11:01 |
| Isy | hello, I have a question to ubuntu can someone help me ? | 11:01 |
| atlef_ | ok | 11:01 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: true | 11:01 |
| Isy | my laptop has Vista and a virus which I didnt got deleted | 11:01 |
| miha | chelz i found something that might be useful http://www.x.org/wiki/FAQVideoModes#ObtainingmodelinesfromWindowsprogramPowerStrip if someone would update the ubuntu wiki you gave me for desktop position | 11:01 |
| Isy | so I want to take ubuntu as full system | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: samba is not a 'trivial' thing. :) as much as people want to belive it is... | 11:01 |
| hyperstream | jefimenko, well that site takes you through the procedure or setting it up ? | 11:01 |
| Isy | is that possible ? | 11:01 |
| freeride | chelz how to change sda to sdb in grub2? | 11:01 |
| atlef_ | freeride: there is also some info here: | 11:01 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: I just thought Linux would have the server/network thing down a bit better than Windoz | 11:01 |
| Isy | deleting vista and let the laptop run with only ubuntu | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: for linux to linux - use NFS it will be MUCH faster | 11:02 |
| atlef_ | freeride: there is also some info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 11:02 |
| freeride | atlef_ where? | 11:02 |
| freeride | )) | 11:02 |
| === atlef_ is now known as atlef | ||
| zetheroo | well my workgroup is "WORKGROUP" so that is not the issue | 11:02 |
| Isy | ... someone read my issue ? | 11:02 |
| freeride | atlef_ my english is too bad for this :) | 11:02 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: NFS? ... is that a whole 'nother thing to configure in text files etc? | 11:02 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: also check out the smbtree and findsmb commands and some of the 'using samba book' to see other trouble shooting commands | 11:03 |
| Isy | someone from Germany here too ? | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !nfs | 11:03 |

| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: i can get a nfs server setup in about 5 min. :) and the speed.. well i wont say its 2x as fast as samba.. but it IS faster | 11:03 |
| k3rl0u4rn | I do have read errors on the first one, 11 blocks were partially written | 11:03 |

| k3rl0u4rn | also, is it safe to clone a disk which contains a swap partition used by the live cd ? | 11:03 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: this is interesting ... by default the WINS Support is disabled in smb.conf | 11:03 |
| atlef | freeride: sorry to hear that. wait and repeat the question | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: as it should be i imagine, | 11:04 |

| erUSUL | enterneo: install sun-java6-jdk | 11:04 |
| chelz | freeride: only have: set root=(hd0,2) | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: i enabled it on ONE linux box.. and it seemed to have helped.. but i also edited all my hosts file | 11:04 |
| chelz | k3rl0u4rn: best to disable that swap | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: so in theory there no wins being used | 11:04 |
| enterneo | erUSUL, quick question, why does not JDK come up on software center, when I try to search from there? | 11:04 |
| iflema | zetheroo NFS is native to linux samba not. | 11:04 |

| hyperstream | zetheroo, as i said i have samba setup on all my linux/windows boxes, they all share with each other, including the printer :) | 11:06 |
| erUSUL | !specs | meowbuntu | 11:06 |
| ubottu | meowbuntu: Hardware requirements to install, boot and comfortably use Ubuntu are listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements - For a !flavor with lower requirements, see !Xubuntu | 11:06 |
| hyperstream | linux boxes*, windows is using its own sharing stuff | 11:06 |
| erUSUL | !minimal | meowbuntu | 11:06 |
| ubottu | meowbuntu: 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 | 11:06 |
| zetheroo | hyperstream: and you did what was in that link you sent me? | 11:06 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, yep | 11:06 |
| mawst | Where's grub.conf? heh | 11:06 |
| jack5463 | zzzzzzzz In Places I have folders "version="1.0"?>". When i attempt to open it i get an error message stating "could not locate '<?xml'". where did this come from? How do i correct the it? | 11:07 |
| zetheroo | hyperstream: does that have to be done on all Linux machines? | 11:07 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, setup one box as the wins server, and the rest up as clients | 11:07 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | mawst | 11:07 |

| hyperstream | zetheroo, samba has to be install on all machines yes (to share from each machine) | 11:07 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: ive also found that on the network when i do connect to a share. i always bookmark the thing (under windows or linux) and it seems to rember it when i go back to the bookmark even if the share browser feature dosent see it. (under windows or linux) go figure... | 11:07 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, doesnt that that long to do tho :) | 11:07 |
| chelz | hyperstream: did you find that guide? | 11:07 |
| meowbuntu | !alternate cd | 11:08 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 11:08 |
| hyperstream | chelz, yes, via google last week | 11:08 |

| erUSUL | alabd: to scan nets use nmap | 11:14 |
| ikonia | erUSUL: write a shell script and link to that | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | eino: make a script that runs the programs make a shortcut to the script | 11:15 |
| BlueEagle | erusul: You would have to create a shortcut to a shell script that runs the two programs either simultaneously or one after another. | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | ikonia: ty ;) | 11:15 |
| zetheroo | hyperstream: what really bothers me about this stuff is that I can recall having samba working over the network with Windows and Linux machines and never doing any of this config stuff .... so I don't understand how it can sometimes work great and other times just go nowhere ... if this configuration is really needed for it to work then without the configuration it should not work across the board .. right!? Makes no sense that it would work and then not .. | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | BlueEagle: ty too lol | 11:15 |
| BlueEagle | erusul: Happy tab-complete day. ;) | 11:15 |

| ikonia | zetheroo: what's the issue ? | 11:16 |
| hyperstream | zetheroo, not sure mate, i had a hell of a past few years trying to get it functioning, and many hours googling recently. | 11:16 |
| hyperstream | afk guys | 11:16 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: just trying to figure out why Samba is so erratic :) | 11:16 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: in what way ? | 11:17 |
| mika__ | Hi, I came from the gentoo world... now I'm playing with (k)ubuntu, but I've a question for you. Why the shell colors are so inexistent? I mean, it's all white, is there a way to config it with a nicer way or should I copy the gentoo dir colors file? | 11:17 |
| chelz | zetheroo: samba is all about working on reversing a black box. you'll never have trouble with samba between two linux computers, it's always an issue with a non-samba system. usually windows. | 11:17 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: well just trying to do a simple folder share | 11:17 |
| ikonia | mika__: the shell uses colour, try ls --color | 11:17 |
| rubymonk | Hello everyone, When my daugther messed with my computer, she seem to have disabled the applications at startup (nm-applet for example...) Any help to re-enable it please? | 11:17 |
| chelz | mika__: that's from gentoo's .bashrc | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | mika__: you mean the colors for the ls command? or what exactly? | 11:17 |
| zetheroo | chelz: nope .. that is my point ... i have the same issues with Linux machines | 11:17 |
| chelz | gentoo's shell looks like this: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dberkholz/terminal.png | 11:18 |
| BlueEagle | zetheroo: I wouldn't be suprised if historically the default config has been something that works but, due to security conciderations, this has been changed. The way it is now you need to know what you are doing when setting up a network service. That is a good thing. | 11:18 |
| chelz | zetheroo: eh try NFS then | 11:18 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: I've always found samba very solid, I'm surprised you're struggling. I find ubuntu's config tools very flakey, and don't use them, but directly controlling the samba.conf works fine normally | 11:18 |
| rubymonk | Sounds like no applications defined in gnome-applications-properties is starting up | 11:18 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: I suppose one has to know how to control smb.conf | 11:19 |
| zetheroo | ikonia: I just got gadmin-samba ... trying it out now | 11:19 |
| ikonia | zetheroo: yeah, if you can work with that, I promise no problems, the ubuntu tools.....for me are not worth it | 11:19 |
| alabd | erUSUL: thanks How to scan a rang of ip to see which one is live with nmap | 11:19 |
| ikonia | alabd: how big a range | 11:20 |
| Owner | is there no way to configure AllowLogoutActions in the latest gdm? what?! | 11:20 |
| alabd | ikonia: 0-255 | 11:20 |
| Owner | ... amongst others ! | 11:20 |
| erUSUL | alabd: install zenmap (a nmap gui) should be easier | 11:20 |
| BlueEagle | rubymonk: Now you know why she should have her own non-sudo-enabled-account on your computer. ;) | 11:20 |
| ikonia | alabd: depends what you define by active, services and firewalls will make that tricky to be for certain | 11:20 |
| chelz | alabd: http://nmap.org/book/toc.html | 11:21 |
| Dr_Willis | With samba - it PAYS to read teh using samba book and other books on the topic. thers some nifty tools that are easially overlooked. | 11:21 |
| alabd | chelz: ikonia erUSUL do you know command line ? | 11:21 |
| rubymonk | BlueEagle: Well, she certainly used some keyboard shortcut... I dunno, she's 2 years and half... | 11:21 |
| chelz | alabd: you need to read to learn command line | 11:21 |
| alabd | chelz: yes humble can read and can ask | 11:22 |

| mika__ | I've another question for you. I'm looking at the server edition. Is there something like landscape, but free? (as I'm setting up my home server for some try I cannot afford to pay for it :( ) | 11:26 |

| geekyogi | chelz: tat RAM slot had the problem... | 11:28 |
| mika__ | erUSUL: I don't know, probably because having a web interface is faster than checking all the stuff directly from the shell :) | 11:28 |
| chelz | geekyogi: ehh sure it's the slot? not the stick? you could try swapping the ram | 11:28 |

| geekyogi | chelz:tried tat.. it's the slot.. | 11:29 |
| Seveas | mika__, ah, if you want 'just a webinterface', erUSUL gave the correct answer :) | 11:29 |
| chelz | geekyogi: ah alright. does it work in another slot? | 11:29 |
| mika__ | erUSUL: nice.. :) | 11:29 |

| stib | hello all. How do I get my machine name to appear on the lan (with windows and mac machines as well). I've set netbios name in my smb.conf, but I still can't see the machine when I try to ssh or ping it by name, only by its IP address. I can access shares and they appear in the mac OS machines with the machine name, but trying to type in a samba address of the form smb://user@machinename.local fai | 13:14 |
| stib | ls, so I have to use the numeric IP | 13:14 |
| th0r | stib, in order for others to be able to use your computer name as you describe, it will have to be entered in the hosts file for each computer, unless you have dns on your network. | 13:15 |
| epinky | asmob: you want to boot in text mode? | 13:16 |
| _pr0t0type_ | I've noticed in Ubuntu when packages are installed there is always a "trigger" thingy. Can anyone explain what this is in the context of Ubuntu? | 13:16 |
| stib | hmm. Was working before with gnome, and now it's not with a xubuntu install. I'm thinking my router does the DNS | 13:16 |

| kristian_ | xubuntu uses the Xfce environment | 13:21 |
| cycrosism | ikr | 13:21 |
| POC|Farmer | hi, i updated from 8.10 to 9.04 and after the required restart (evrything until this worked) cant boot anymore. i get from "reading files needed to boot" to "loading hardware drivers". the last wont complete, i waited for 15 minutes. after that i tried different kernels in grub, 2.6.28/27/24 has the same problem... | 13:21 |
| gregor_ | xubuntu uses a mix between gnome and xfce | 13:21 |
| kristian_ | anyone got a suggestion about the cd command? | 13:21 |
| iflema | !ask | atlef | 13:22 |
| ubottu | atlef: 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. :-) | 13:22 |
| riot_le | i have here a client and wants to create the pbuilder enviroment but i get a debootstrap error, i did'nt found anything to that issue | 13:22 |
| kristian_ | xubunut is resource-saving and therefore better for slower devices | 13:22 |
| th0r | kristian_, is this a new dir or have you used it before? | 13:22 |
| luist | how do i check the space occupied in my partition? | 13:22 |
| rosco | ? i'm editing a grub file from grub4dos. there is an internal folder, "grub." it has four files. Makefile.am, Makefile.in, main.c and asmstub.c. should i move those four files inside c:/grub4dos/grub? i'll rename the folder c:/grub. wouldn't want c:/grub/grub | 13:22 |
| valentinex | nobody answering me in xubuntu channel, so how do you do to select your new installed PCI sound card as default sound device in ubuntu? | 13:23 |
| epinky | luist: "df -h" | 13:23 |
| kristian_ | it's a dir inside my /home directory | 13:23 |
| luist | thanks | 13:23 |

| kristian_ | @valentinex - do you see the loudspeaker symbol in the taskbar? | 13:24 |

| epinky | qtk: sudo touch /var/www/yournewfile | 13:25 |
| qtk | thx ;] | 13:25 |
| rosco | anyone: question; when creating c:/grub, do i leave the folder c:/grub/grub? or move its contents to c:/grub? | 13:25 |
| kristian_ | used the su command and it gives me an authentification error. | 13:26 |
| cycrosism | kristian_: cool | 13:27 |
| asmob | epinky, how now i can check if it works..? | 13:27 |
| epinky | asmob: what driver is it? | 13:28 |

| pokoko222 | how to open port 5900 in ubuntu | 13:30 |
| qtk | 've created a file in / var / www but I can't edit, why ?:< | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pokoko222: ports are not closed by default. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | pokoko222: unkless you installed some firewall/rules | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | 13:30 |
| asmob | epinky, video | 13:30 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 13:30 |
| rosco | anyone: question; when creating c:/grub, do i leave the folder c:/grub/grub? or move its contents to c:/grub? | 13:30 |
| pokoko222 | Dr_Willis well i would rather check manually, how? | 13:30 |
| kristian_ | cycrosism sudo doesn't work either. | 13:30 |
| zilkomaa | Is there a way to speed up my 64bit ubuntu 9.10, take all advantage of my processor and ubuntu | 13:30 |
| cycrosism | kristian_: sudo passwd ? | 13:31 |
| cycrosism | (without the ?) | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | pokoko222: thers some commands.. you could do 'sudo iptables -L ' and see if theres any rules | 13:31 |
| epinky | asmob: don't know if you're using propietary or open source, ATI or NVIDIA but "lshw" or "lsmod" should show som details, alse check on system -> hardware drivers | 13:31 |
| kristian_ | password worked, but the command had no effect at all. | 13:31 |
| Dr_Willis | pokoko222: but there are no default rules.. no ports are 'closed' by default. of course if a service is not running on a port.. its not technically open. | 13:31 |
| qtk | Can even create a new file in the directory immediately containing ? | 13:32 |
| qtk | Sorry for bad english ;/ | 13:32 |
| cycrosism | its not closed its not open | 13:32 |
| asmob | epinky, i run Nvidi from thei homepage 190 and at hardware drivers still show 185 recomended... | 13:32 |
| rosco | okay, i've another question: i was told about an fstab file. where is it? part of grub files? | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | rosco /etc/fstab | 13:32 |
| pokoko222 | Dr_Willis yes they are closed all from installation | 13:32 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | rosco | 13:32 |
| ubottu | rosco: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 13:32 |
| Seveas | rosco, it lives in /etc/ and is not used by grub | 13:32 |
| dailystruggle | does anyone know why hulu won't stream in firefox?? | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | pokoko222: your defintion of the term closed is not what most linux users use. If you run ssh it uses port 22.. without ssh port 22 is techincally 'open' for use by anything wanting to use it.. but its not blocked. so its not closed. | 13:33 |
| qtk | Can even create a new file in the directory immediately containing ? | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dailystruggle: its worked here in the past. the Huludesktop tool also worked.. but was always sluggish | 13:33 |
| Dr_Willis | dailystruggle: not tried it lately | 13:34 |
| epinky | asmob: then I think it's propietary, you've got to activate them | 13:34 |

| richthegeek | kristian_: yes, the > pumps it into FILE3 | 13:50 |
| alankila | richthegeek: won't work, the package name is wrong & that will only uninstall the metapackage, while the problem is with the actual packages that supply the files. | 13:50 |
| richthegeek | marlen: sorry, that was a terminal command. Press Alt+F2 and paste into there. Press "run as root" or "run as sudo" and run the command. | 13:50 |
| richthegeek | marlen: hold that thought | 13:50 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - what's the difference between the cat and the paste command? | 13:51 |

| opakavic | richthegeek: It checked and given me some hexadecimal values | 13:56 |
| norbi905 | Hello, I have installed World of Warcraft through wine. When I want to start the game, or even switch to that folder it gives me permission denied. If I do chmod 777 on the directory it works and I can launch the application. But everytime I restart the computer the changes revert back and I have to do it again. Is there a way around this? I though chmod would keep the settings until changed? | 13:56 |
| marlen | no, I have vista and installed xubuntu. I liked, but I need more space in it | 13:56 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: yes, it gave a 32 bit long hex code, it's the md5 hash | 13:56 |
| richthegeek | compare it to the md5 hash that is listed on the download page | 13:57 |
| weechat_user | hi | 13:57 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - my goal is to use the .jpg and hide the .pdf in it. | 13:57 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: okay, sure i'll check | 13:57 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: not possible. | 13:57 |
| xiong | norbi905, Normally, chmod is a permanent change. The question is, What is changing it back? | 13:57 |
| weechat_user | ... | 13:57 |
| kemmotar | marlen: load from Live CD and start new installation on partition where you have xubuntu... | 13:58 |
| richthegeek | xiong. norbi905: remember what it was, chmod again. | 13:58 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - ok, where should I post my goals to make it possible in the future? | 13:58 |
| AntiProxy | i'm on Ubuntu 9.10, with a RAID1 built of two 320GB SATA Drives (both are 10 days old).. yesterday Palimpsest Disk Utility popped up saying one of the "DISK HAS MANY BAD SECTORS", i googled it and found many reports of the utlitity reporting such false alarms, however smartctl clearly reports the same with "Current_Pending_Sector" of 112 :\ i ran a full surface scan using the DOS CD from Western Digital.. and that reported the disc to have 0 errors!! i dow | 13:59 |
| AntiProxy | nloaded hdrecover and ran it.. couple hours later, it finished saying 0 bad sectors found.. | 13:59 |
| AntiProxy | what gives? :( | 13:59 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: please help me, they not listed !, i downloaded hardy | 13:59 |
| norbi905 | richthegeek, xiong: What could be changing the permission back? I am not sure. It's not a problem really, just a bit annoying. And I would like to know a work around even for just an educational purposes. | 13:59 |
| marlen | ok, thanks a lot and sorry for my english. | 13:59 |
| xiong | richthegeek, Sorry; I can't figure out what you mean. | 13:59 |
| Xanova | Hi folks ! | 13:59 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: what you want to do is impossible due to the file format of JPEG and PDF - the pdf code after the jpeg code will attempt to interpreted by the viewer. | 13:59 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: which distro exactly. 9.10 32 bit? | 14:00 |
| xiong | norbi905, What happens when you chmod and change the owner to root? | 14:00 |
| geirha | norbi905: I've noticed that. The wow-folder gets weird permissions after a new wow-update. | 14:00 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: its, ubuntu-8.04.4-desktop-i386.iso, x86 | 14:00 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: 32bit | 14:00 |
| xiong | norbi905, Or create a dummy user and change owner to that? | 14:00 |
| ubuntu | hii i want to install ubuntu on mac. boot camp be not able to split hdd. if i slip hdd by partition magic. is that risky to lose my data? | 14:00 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: any particular reason you are using such an old distro? | 14:00 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - it's possible under windows - so there must be a way to work it out. | 14:01 |
| richthegeek | ubuntu: split using gparted in the live CD. And yes, there is always a chance so backup EVERYTHING | 14:01 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: i like the way they made it, i need it for stability | 14:01 |
| norbi905 | xiong, geirha: when I do chmod 777 that gives permission to all does it not? And this does not only happen after an update, this is everytime I restart the system. | 14:01 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: i wan it for my another system.. | 14:01 |
| zilkomaa | Do i need install firewall in ubuntu ? | 14:01 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: That is done with propietary software that modifies the interpreters for those files. If you want to hide a PDF prepend the name with . | 14:01 |
| geirha | norbi905: I've only encountered it after a wow-update. | 14:02 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: fair enough. Not sure if there are still md5sums for something that old. Give me a minute | 14:02 |
| Xanova | I kinda need your help. It seems that my network card (who used to work perfectly on windows, both ethernet and wifi) can't detect any wireless network. I'm connected with my eth, but i don't have any wlan option. | 14:02 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: okay.. | 14:02 |
| Bilaw | opakavic: more info on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 14:02 |
| ubuntu | richthegeek : thanks. | 14:02 |
| xiong | norbi905, chmod 777 gives permission; chown changes who can give (or withhold) that permission. If something is changing permissions on X, then it (may be) the owner of X. | 14:03 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: 4f41e03d250b2f2b1cd3015c8df4af7c | 14:03 |

| richthegeek | fireball_: plug in speakers? | 14:04 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: yes, both are same | 14:04 |
| fireball_ | yeah, no sound to mixer, in the middle of a gig, please advise | 14:04 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: then the ISOs are valid | 14:04 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: what was your original question? | 14:04 |
| Seppoz | hio, how do i update an application in ubutu? and whats latest version of qt creator in ubuntu repos | 14:04 |
| Xanova | Hi there :) I got a wifi problem that i can't fix. My card is recognized by Ubuntu. It's a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) but i can't use the wireless option (no wlan0 option) | 14:04 |
| zilkomaa | How to check alsadriver version? | 14:05 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: but why its not booting, from pendrive | 14:05 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: open a terminal and enter "alsamixer" | 14:05 |
| Liquid-Silence | :d | 14:05 |
| norbi905 | xiong: after doing ls -l the World of Warcraft folder shows the owner as being me | 14:05 |
| Liquid-Silence | ok updates done | 14:05 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: turn everything up to eleven | 14:05 |
| syrius | is grsecurity no config needed in ubuntu? | 14:05 |
| richthegeek | opakavic: how old is your machine? | 14:05 |
| Liquid-Silence | isnt there a free thing like WoW called Eve Online? | 14:05 |
| norbi905 | xiong: I just exited the game, and now I can't access the folder again. Permission denied. I now have to again chmod 777 to access it. Really weird. | 14:05 |

| opakavic | i'm having a option at my boot option, its a IBM machine P4 intel x86 | 14:06 |
| xiong | norbi905, Who did you chown to? | 14:06 |
| mikey_ | And I think EVE has a monthly subscription now anyway | 14:06 |
| Liquid-Silence | mikey_: I am sure there was something like WoW that was free | 14:06 |

| kristian_ | @richthegeek- "If you want to hide a PDF prepend the name with." Cannot process your command. | 14:06 |
| luky_luky | asdasd | 14:06 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: rename "some.pdf" to ".some.pdf" | 14:07 |
| Liquid-Silence | mikey_: with a native client for unix | 14:07 |
| mikey_ | Hmm, I think there is aswell... I'm sure I've played it actually | 14:07 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: suddenly, it is hidden. *gone* in a puff of smoke | 14:07 |
| norbi905 | xiong: I did not chown to anyone, I installed it by default under norbi, which is the user. And when doing ls -l it shows that it is in fact owned by norbi. Could have I installed it under root, and maybe root is changing back the permission ? | 14:07 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: and yet it is still there. Amazing. | 14:07 |

| richthegeek | opakavic: assuming you used the USB Startup Disk Creator rather than just extracting to the USB stick or whatever | 14:08 |
| opakavic | richthegeek: lemme check that agian, with ubuntu forum help | 14:08 |

| Seppoz | ty | 14:08 |
| mikey_ | I didn't realise Eve has a native Linux client | 14:08 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - copy that. still the same result. | 14:08 |
| mikey_ | Oh, there isn't haha | 14:09 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: entirely different result. What you want cannot be done. I cannot help you with this anymore than i can build a perpetual motion mahine | 14:09 |
| Xanova | Please help me i don' know what else to do i've tried everyhing i could see on the internet... | 14:09 |
| richthegeek | Xanova: update your system? | 14:09 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - copy that. thank you for your help. | 14:09 |

| opakavic | where is rumpsy? | 14:09 |
| Xanova | date* | 14:09 |
| opakavic | i'm looking for him | 14:09 |
| richthegeek | Xanova: try a different wireless dongle? | 14:10 |
| xiong | norbi905, I'm suggesting that you chown the folder to somebody else -- root, a dummy user, anybody but you. *Something* is chmod the folder to another permissions mask (What, by the way?) I'm guessing, randomly, that this Someone is you -- or rather, some process running under your UID. Therefore, if you chown the folder to another user, it's possible that the Someone-as-you will not be able to chmod it 'back'. | 14:10 |
| Xanova | I insalled ubuntu like a week ago | 14:10 |
| richthegeek | Xanova: yes, but the ISO will have been created at launch time back in October | 14:10 |
| opakavic | rumpsy here? | 14:10 |
| Xanova | ritchthegeek: Live what ? | 14:10 |
| Xanova | like* | 14:10 |
| richthegeek | Xanova: search on amazon for "linux wireless dongle" or similar | 14:11 |
| xiong | norbi905, This is a pretty random approach; I don't pretend it's authoritative; I don't guarantee it will work. Rather, it's a test. | 14:11 |
| Xanova | k | 14:11 |
| kristian_ | any possibility to use the windows cmd under ubuntu? | 14:11 |
| fireball_ | richthegeek: how do i turn on headphone please? | 14:11 |
| xiong | kristian_, *Which* Windows command? | 14:11 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: the command prompt? Linux has a much more capable thing called the "terminal" | 14:11 |
| norbi905 | xiong: I have chown the directory to root. Now I can access it without having to chmod. | 14:12 |
| Liquid-Silence | bbiab | 14:12 |
| Liquid-Silence | rugby time | 14:12 |
| Liquid-Silence | :) | 14:12 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: turn every slider up to 11 | 14:12 |
| LetsGo67 | My LAN-hosted HTTP server is slow! How do I speed it up, please? | 14:12 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: and by 11 I mean 100 | 14:12 |
| norbi905 | xiong: Will have to restart the computer to see if the changes still be in place. Be back in a few :) | 14:12 |
| xiong | norbi905, I'd suggest you chmod 777 the folder, then see if the problem still exists. | 14:12 |
| fireball_ | richthegeek: headphone muted, not sure what changes that | 14:12 |
| xiong | norbi905, I still want to know what *other* permissions get 'reset' on you. | 14:12 |
| norbi905 | xiong: You mean chmod it now as it belongs to root, and then change the ownership back to user norbi? | 14:12 |
| Xanova | Well I guess my card is not supported by Linux >.<. The only option is to buy a new wireless dongle... | 14:13 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: if the sliders are at 100 it's not muted. Try different ports | 14:13 |
| Asmob | h can somone say what java i must use? now i have 2 OpenJDK and Sun Java, whitch of them runs better..? | 14:13 |
| richthegeek | Xanova: it probably is. Try pluggin in the computer via a cable, running an update, and trying the dongle again | 14:13 |
| fireball_ | richthegeek: it WAS working fine, after a reboot, not. . . | 14:13 |
| xiong | norbi905, Please don't confuse chmod and chown. I suggest you chown to root; chmod 777. This will allow anybody to do anything with that folder (theoretically unwise) but only root to change that allowance. | 14:13 |
| richthegeek | fireball_: oddness. Not sure tbh, audio isn't my thing. | 14:14 |
| kristian_ | @richthegeek - i know - but my problem is solvable with the windows command prompt | 14:14 |
| richthegeek | kristian_: what command are you running in cmd? | 14:14 |
| Seppoz | so it doesnt list qt in the update manager.. any idea? | 14:14 |
| xiong | kristian_, XY problem. | 14:14 |
| Xanova | richthegeek: The thing is I don't have any dongle it's a wireless card in my mother card. (Please excuse my bad english, I'm européan) | 14:15 |
| Xanova | european* | 14:15 |

| elpargo | actionParsnip: umm that's an external package, any advantages over dpkg -S ? | 14:37 |
| arcsky | anyone know a good blog about ubuntu ? | 14:38 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: Ubuntu is made of external packages by design | 14:38 |

| xiong | norbi905, I'm not an expert and whatever I say is pure conjecture. OTOH, I guessed right, so perhaps I'm on a streak. | 14:38 |
| ubuntu | this is insane. no one for my lost cause? | 14:38 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: your wifi is not on or not detected | 14:38 |

| ubottu | actionParsnip: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:39 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: is it a usb wifi or an internal device? | 14:39 |
| Asmob | petsounds, i have Sun Java vorking | 14:39 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : Well it's no deteced cause i never shut it down. btw, my wifi is in my mothercard | 14:39 |
| actionParsnip | arcsky: i am supporting ubuntu which is what the cannel is for, therefore I am not offtopic at all | 14:39 |
| norbi905 | xiong: Good for you, thanks again :) | 14:39 |
| arcsky | actionParsnip: i see | 14:39 |
| elpargo | llutz: ahh that's handy, btw for some reason colloquy can't autocomplete your username :p | 14:39 |
| xiong | norbi905, My thinking is that some process running under your UID (very likely WoW itself) is doing the unfavorable chmod. Why, I can't imagine. It's a commercial game, so any weirdness is possible. | 14:39 |
| u007-1 | hi... anyone uses xdelta to make binary diff? | 14:39 |
| elpargo | actionParsnip: huh? what do you mean by that. | 14:40 |
| xiong | norbi905, Thank you for allowing me to help. | 14:40 |
| actionParsnip | arcsky: questions regarding ubuntu blogs are offtopic here as they are not support requests for the OS, hence why i fired the factoid | 14:40 |
| scunizi | arcsky: #ubuntu-offtopic is for all conversation other than support | 14:40 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: canonical do not make firefox (for example) but it is part of a standard ubuntu install | 14:40 |

| elpargo | actionParsnip: dude seriously... | 14:41 |
| Illuna | llutz, used to it :} | 14:41 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: so an "external package" doesn't exist | 14:41 |
| elpargo | actionParsnip: since you are taking it literally. It's a package that is not part of the stock install. | 14:41 |
| elpargo | actionParsnip: sorry but that is stupid. | 14:42 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: that is moot, you can add and remove packages from the default as you wish | 14:42 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : What would you advice me to do as Ubuntu recognises my network card (on which my wireless is supposed to be) ? | 14:42 |
| ubuntu | anyone for wubi help???? | 14:42 |
| elpargo | actionParsnip: an external package is anything that is not in the official ubuntu installers. | 14:42 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: just because its not in a stock install doesn't devalue it any | 14:42 |
| actionParsnip | !info apt-file | elpargo | 14:42 |
| ubottu | elpargo: apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.2.2 (karmic), package size 25 kB, installed size 172 kB | 14:42 |
| ubuntu | very urgent for recovery!! | 14:42 |
| zagrev | umm..why does enabling the "extra" effects in compiz slow down video playback in mplayer? :( | 14:42 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: its on the repos | 14:42 |

| Xanova | elpargo: YOu don't undersand that Ubuntu is MADE of packages from internet. Even packages in the Live CD for example are from inernet... | 14:43 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: you can automate installs across multiple systems | 14:43 |
| elpargo | actionParsnip: anyway, you are taking me too literal. Congrats. | 14:43 |
| otoman | Zdravíčko. Na linuxos.sk jsem našel docela hezká trička s logem ubuntu. http://www.linuxos.sk/eshop/kategoria/59/index.html | 14:43 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: its not its a reasonable evaluation | 14:43 |
| elpargo | *sigh* don't drag me into a stupid argument. | 14:43 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: the apt-file package will help tell you what file is in what package if you search it | 14:43 |
| elpargo | ok let try to close this once and for all. | 14:44 |
| actionParsnip | elpargo: thats what you wanted in your initial question so is a solution | 14:44 |
| actionParsnip | ok | 14:44 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : About my wifi | 14:44 |
| elpargo | since it's not part of the default install I need to install it I'll like to avoid doing that on my servers. | 14:44 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: is there a killswitch to turn the wifi on? | 14:44 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : What would you advice me to do as Ubuntu recognises my network card (on which my wireless is supposed to be) ? | 14:44 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : I don't think so | 14:44 |
| elpargo | and please don't assume everyone is stupid and try to explain them what a package is. I have written packages myself. | 14:45 |
| Xanova | actionParsnip : I never touched it and it worked perfectly under windows | 14:45 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: you should check, also make sure the device is enabled in bios | 14:45 |
| jazz | is there a bug with connecting to the internet wirelessly and volume being muted? | 14:45 |
| Xanova | oK I'll check the bios | 14:45 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: you should reboot then and run: dmesg | less and read the output | 14:45 |

| igama | CAPcap, its basicly always : wine name.exe | 15:03 |
| candy_ | i cannot acces to internet through my wireless service in my laptop but i can see the network... help | 15:03 |

| kaddi_ | I have a very weird "bug" when my laptop looses power: The grub menu entries for ubuntu get rewritten from "root (hd0,6)" "kernel ... root=/dev/sda7" to "root (hd0,5)" "kernel .... root=/dev/sda8". Any idea what might be causing this? Anyone experience that as well? | 15:08 |
| suman | candy_, there are some time when you lose connection to internet as your ISP has some outage or something but you still connect your computer to your router which is wireless only. | 15:08 |
| suman | candy_, ok | 15:08 |
| candy_ | suman, if u r getting this message then i m through ethernet now | 15:08 |
| Slart | guest1: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com .. you'll see a big text box.. open the file you want to pastebin in the regular text editor, select all text and copy it.. paste it into the webpage.. then press "submit" or "ok" (I can't remember which) and tell us the new url | 15:09 |

| actionParsnip | Xanova: you may need to disable acpi for example | 15:10 |
| actionParsnip | !sound | valentinex | 15:10 |
| ubottu | valentinex: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:10 |

| Slart | actionParsnip: escape the dot as well? or that was just being pedantic? =) | 15:12 |
| kaddi_ | jazz: I'm pretty sure it's grub since I can edit the menu list from the booted grub menu with the old commands. | 15:13 |

| jazz | what do i have to install for the volume icon to be double clickable? | 15:16 |
| Slart | guest1: EDID is a way for the graphics card to talk to the screen.. that way it knows what the screen can do and which resolutions it can show.. sometimes this doesn't work and then it uses some safe default values.. in this case 640x480 | 15:16 |
| actionParsnip | Xanova: ok so the wifi is on a pci card? | 15:16 |
| Slart | actionParsnip: yup | 15:16 |

| tarzeau | Threetimes: that's not answering my question. what software do you run on the server? | 16:09 |
| Pe1o | kalle, I mean group access to the share folder in the folder properties, guest is when you login as guess from gdm, that is something else, you might want to make a new user with the name from the remote machine and give it access to the share folder that might also work | 16:09 |
| krysis | for me windows commits blue screen suicide if i don't use it for a long time with ubuntu side by side :/ | 16:09 |

| dirk__ | gday, is there a way to go directly to a (unique named)folder without typing the whole path? | 16:21 |
| actionParsnip | rcmaehl: or you can use supergrub | 16:21 |

| cmp | archboxman... my problem is - now i use 9.4 and i work with my wireless device fine - but i need to upgrade to 9.10 , and when i upgrade to 9.10 my wireless is not recognized at all - now i use the wireless as the only connection to communicate here and i dont have cabled connection in case if i missed the driver for my wireless - can you help me step by step and i will write it down here in text file so i can learn how to fix the problem | 16:22 |
| Screamo_Smurf | suman i get nautilus-share is already the newest version. | 16:22 |
| actionParsnip | dirk__: you could create an alias for the long command then you can fire it when needed | 16:22 |
| Xanova | Screamo_Smurf: Nope, the grub won't load with my USB HDD unplugged | 16:22 |
| Screamo_Smurf | ok well with it pluged in | 16:22 |
| dirk__ | thx for the sugestion but i have loads of them and wanned a way to not have to create aliases for all of them | 16:23 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/back-in-time-a-simple-backup-tool-for-ubuntu.html | 16:23 |
| Xanova | Yep it will, but when i choose windows, it can't launch: very brief bluescreen (i cant even read what it says) then my machine reboots | 16:23 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, I know how to use it, but there seems to be something odd going on when I use it over CIFS. | 16:23 |
| Screamo_Smurf | definatly sounds like grub ate your windows bootloader | 16:24 |
| olskolirc | where is the repository for kubuntu? | 16:24 |
| actionParsnip | dirk__: could create a script which takes a number as an arg and goes to the right folder | 16:24 |
| Xanova | ... or microsoft is punishing me for using a Linus OS :D | 16:24 |
| olskolirc | never mind | 16:24 |
| Screamo_Smurf | eh | 16:24 |
| Xanova | Kinda sounds bad :\ | 16:24 |

| actionParsnip | terminhell: http://www.trichotomy.ca/ayplabtu.html ;) | 16:26 |
| archboxman | cmp:now I remember | 16:26 |

| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, I select my home folder to be backed up. I have a CIFS share on a remote machine as the destination for the snapshots. After creating the initial backup, it seems to copy all of the files over again, even if they already exist in the previous snapshot. When I browse the CIFS share, I find that each snapshot directory is just as large as each other. (500 MB, 500 MB, 500 MB, etc.) However, the parent folder reads only 500 MB i | 16:28 |
| fromWinToLin | n size. However, the CIFS filesystem reports its available space decreasing significantly with each snapshot I create, even if the only chage was a few extra MB of files... | 16:28 |
| Xanova | terminhell: eh eh eh... IDK where the hell did i put my windows CD. I'm not even sure I still have it as y computer is 5-6years old... | 16:28 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, when I do "ls -l" in the snapshot folders, I do not see evidence of hard links. | 16:28 |
| Screamo_Smurf | Xanova you just might be cursed :S | 16:29 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: is the share mounted? | 16:29 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, yes. | 16:29 |
| cmp | all what iam worry now is - i want to upgrade but iam affraid that it will not work with 9,10 ... again i dont know have any cable connection to get you if i lose the wireless driver archboxman. | 16:29 |
| thisdotpheonix | hello, do any one know the widgets for ubuntu | 16:29 |
| thisdotpheonix | hello | 16:29 |
| Screamo_Smurf | if you repair your windows bootloader it will kill grub | 16:29 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, CIFS does support hard links, last I checked. | 16:29 |
| terminhell | Xanova: yikes, g/l thats the only legal way i know how to do it. (only way i know how actually) | 16:29 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, plus, BackInTime is meant to be used on CIFS / NFS. | 16:30 |

| pim | hello. I have 2 soundcards and I want to setup one for recording and the other for playing. I go in systel => preferences => sound and select what I want. But for some reason, these settings change after suspend or reboot. How can I make my setup perm ? | 16:30 |
| Screamo_Smurf | Xanova im gueesing you could borrow or d/l one and just use it to restore the bootloader, i dont see how that would be illegal | 16:30 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: not something ive used bro, i use rsync | 16:30 |
| archboxman | cmp: is it connecting??? | 16:31 |
| dicap | What is rsync | 16:31 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, BackInTime uses rsync and diff under the GUI. | 16:31 |
| actionParsnip | !rsync | 16:31 |
| ubottu | rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 16:31 |
| bobbytek | "\e[5~": history-search-backward doesn't seem to work for me in /etc/inputrc | 16:31 |
| Screamo_Smurf | but that still brings us back to the fact that if you do that you wont be able to boot into ubuntu anymore | 16:31 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: why is a gui needed? | 16:31 |
| === homer is now known as Guest90011 | ||
| cmp | archboxman, it tells me : PING tx (92.242.144.5) 56(124) bytes of data. | 16:31 |
| bobbytek | is that the pgup next to the home key? | 16:31 |
| bobbytek | it just prints a ~ | 16:31 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, it's a very well laid out GUI for browsing through snapshots. | 16:31 |
| archboxman | yes because its connected are you using cable write now to chat??? | 16:32 |
| terminhell | sorry Screamo_Smurf what was the original prob, i only seen a partial of it i guess | 16:32 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: well its giving you some crazy issues so is over complicating stuff | 16:32 |
| Xanova | Yeah i'll borrow a CD to someone. After all, i LEGALLY bought windows with my computer... | 16:32 |

| bhuvi | when i disble bluetooth or wifi by pressing Fn+F5 in my lenovo notebook while using vista ,after rebooting into ubuntu i cannot enable them is there any way to enable it back? | 16:33 |
| Screamo_Smurf | he had winxp install on internal hdd, then install ubuntu on an external hdd, but grub is on the internal hdd and ate the windows mbr | 16:33 |
| bhuvi | when i disable bluetooth or wifi by pressing Fn+F5 in my lenovo notebook while using vista ,after rebooting into ubuntu i cannot enable them is there any way to enable it back? | 16:33 |
| cmp | archboxman. what does it mean ? | 16:33 |
| terminhell | Screamo_Smurf: so he just has to manually edit grub to point specifically to xp | 16:33 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, the thing is, I'm not sure if it's the application itself, or the way rsync / diff works over CIFS. | 16:33 |
| archboxman | cmp: are you using wifi or eth0 right now??? | 16:33 |
| chakrit | I just can't get the enhanced desktop zoom in csm to work, however I can do the Win+Mouse drag to move windows ... I'm on asus eee any ideas? | 16:33 |

| archboxman | I don't have my netbook anymore and they changed the interface can you still get to the desktop?? | 16:36 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: the access is managed by the kernel using the mount options used, the files should be seen etc. maybe its a glitch in the gui app. Have you tried with ordinary rsync to test if the app you are using ahs issues or not | 16:36 |
| cmp | do you want to check again what iam using now archboxman... this will make it more clear ... just tell me how to make it | 16:36 |

| Screamo_Smurf | bhuvi have you tried googling it? | 16:37 |
| actionParsnip | !anyone | Fallobst | 16:37 |
| ubottu | Fallobst: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:37 |
| nodrogkooc | Posted details on http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3ebe1b94a5729d0cd69d6a5efafd9a7927071b55 | 16:37 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, actually, maybe on second thought, I'm not understanding hard-links properly. | 16:37 |
| archboxman | cmp I don't have my netbook anymore and they changed the interface can you still get to the desktop?? | 16:37 |
| actionParsnip | qshan: not by default, you could remaster the ISO to make it enable at boot | 16:37 |
| qshan | actionParsnip: thanks, good idea | 16:37 |

| AngelwingedDevil | :D* | 16:38 |
| qshan | archboxman: where does one go to figure out how to do something like that? | 16:38 |
| fromWinToLin | actionParsnip, I am confused why the available space on the CIFS file system would decrease if hard-links are being created. (If a 500 MB file has another hard link created, the remaining space on the CIFS file system should not decrease by another 500 MB.) | 16:38 |

| milesc | hi, last night i used mkfs.ext3 on a new drive that had never been used before. I did not create any partitions and instead just formatted the entire device to ext3. What are the ramification of doing so, and if you're able to, why do the tutorials always say to make a partition? | 16:39 |
| Screamo_Smurf | AngelwingedDevil in system> preferences> keyboards shortcuts i think | 16:39 |
| e01 | i see that my cpu is avg 40% load, is it normal in ubuntu | 16:39 |
| actionParsnip | fromWinToLin: the hard link will appear as the same file so will appear to take the extra space (afaik) | 16:39 |
| archboxman | qshan: she needs go to ubuntu remix channel if they have one here in irc | 16:39 |
| cmp | archboxman. i know iam asking here too much and i might disturb you or others - but i really need to fix all this - i need to study and work -and iam poor girl in this system - but i need it very much | 16:39 |

| ubottu | Serraphyn: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 17:11 |
| Ganymede | Serraphyn, in your webserver config, you didn't ask it to process .php files with PHP, so it think it's just a standard file | 17:11 |

| iceroot | Phosis: also "ls" is ignoring hidden-files by default | 17:24 |

| kalbo^ | i got this error while booting up my ubuntu "mount of filesystem failed", what kind of error is this? need some help guys | 17:24 |
| iceroot | Phosis: to see hidden-files you have to use "ls -all" | 17:24 |
| peet | I only get a "grub rescue" menu | 17:24 |
| Screamo_Smurf | untill you have access to another source of internet | 17:24 |

| ipatrol_ | someone, anyone: why isn't my WEP key working | 18:13 |
| ardchoille | Ignore the trolls, folks | 18:13 |
| viajante | [V13]Axel, why? | 18:14 |
| [V13]Axel | viajante: It uses GRUB2, which uses a different configuration file. You have to edit files that the command 'update-grub' reads from. | 18:14 |
| archboxman | ipatrol_: how did you setup this wep?? | 18:14 |
| NetScr1be | ardchoille I just told off for saying essentially the same thing | 18:14 |
| [V13]Axel | viajante: Do some research on Wikipedia about GRUB2, it'll tell how to change things safely. | 18:14 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | viajante | 18:15 |
| ubottu | viajante: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 18:15 |

| [V13]Axel | Hey guys, quick question. How do I remove unneeded kernel images that show up in GRUB? I know how to remove their GRUB entries, but what's the command to remove the actual kernel image files? | 18:15 |
| [V13]Axel | This is in Jaunty. | 18:15 |
| m4tic | viajante: what are you trying to change in grub? | 18:15 |
| Blubbi | sudo apt-get remove linux-image-"versionyoudontneed" | 18:15 |
| NetScr1be | axel I may have the same issue | 18:15 |
| viajante | [V13]Axel, does the last kernel update grub configuration? | 18:16 |
| Blubbi | <[V13]Axel> | 18:16 |
| [V13]Axel | What do you mean, viajante? | 18:16 |
| NetScr1be | Blubbi does that remove the folders in usr/src? | 18:16 |
| arand | [V13]Axel: Also remove the two -headers packages related to that specific version.. | 18:16 |
| bad_alloc | (repost) i have an issue with the Qtcreator 1.3.1 under ubuntu 8.10: since i hab to install from the .bin file i have no integrated API reference. how do i add it now? | 18:16 |
| [V13]Axel | Thanks, Blubbi. | 18:16 |
| archboxman | v1tal3: terminal locate grub should be menu.lst | 18:16 |
| [V13]Axel | And arand. | 18:16 |

| Liquid-Silence | ipatrol_: whats the issue buddy | 18:18 |
| ipatrol_ | My wifi won't connect | 18:18 |
| archboxman | viajante: just what??? | 18:18 |
| NetScr1be | ipatrol WEP is compromised use WPA PSK | 18:18 |
| ipatrol_ | NetScr1be: Right now I don't *** care | 18:18 |
| [V13]Axel | ipatrol_: What do you mean, it won't connect? | 18:18 |
| viajante | archboxman, I have grub prompt, do I just give that command? | 18:18 |
| ipatrol_ | I can't get any acess to the wi-fi network | 18:18 |
| ipatrol_ | But the newtork manger is working with my wifi card | 18:19 |
| ChrisTX | NetScr1be, WPA PSK isn't safe either, it uses TKIP as well lol | 18:19 |
| Liquid-Silence | ipatrol_: does it actually detect the network | 18:19 |
| NetScr1be | ipatrol was the router reset? (back to default) | 18:19 |
| ardchoille | ipatrol_: We need mor einfo. Please specify what you have done, what you have tried and any errors | 18:19 |
| bad_alloc | ipatrol_: what kind of an AP/ what distri are you using, what is your config now? | 18:19 |
| ipatrol_ | Liquid-Silence: yes | 18:19 |
| archboxman | viajante: need text editor use gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst to edit grub | 18:19 |
| ipatrol_ | bad_alloc: 9.10 | 18:19 |
| [V13]Axel | ipatrol_: Use the command "iwconfig" and tell what the output is. | 18:19 |
| viajante | ipatrol you probably have broadcom wirelless, try the proprietary STA driver | 18:19 |
| ivansmo | ipatrol_ I have problem with wifi, I resolved in that way that I connect with wired network and XUBUNTU has downloaded drivers, Yust turn them ON and then if You need setup IP address | 18:19 |
| ipatrol_ | [V13]Axel: I can't copypaste | 18:20 |
| viajante | archboxman, I cant acess text editor, just grub prompt | 18:20 |

| ipatrol_ | two different computers | 18:20 |
| bad_alloc | nopaste.biz | 18:20 |
| [V13]Axel | Use the link from earlier, I think it was copy.ubuntu.com or something. | 18:20 |

| bad_alloc | [unanswered] i have an issue with the Qtcreator 1.3.1 under ubuntu 8.10: since i hab to install from the .bin file i have no integrated API reference. how do i add it now? | 18:20 |
| NetScr1be | I tried using http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and got nowhere | 18:20 |
| archboxman | viajante: su or sudo to run command | 18:20 |
| [V13]Axel | Then tell me if it shows a wireless card enabled. | 18:20 |
| ipatrol_ | It does | 18:20 |
| Nahsei | hi again... i think i have kind of a conflict... when i try to open the sound preferences either it doesn't open or it says that doesn't respond | 18:20 |
| archboxman | viajante: do a locate menu.lst to make sure it finds the file... | 18:21 |
| ipatrol_ | [V13]Axel: I see my network SSID in the GUI | 18:21 |
| [V13]Axel | When you click your network configuration icon on the notification area, does it show a list of wireless networks? | 18:21 |
| ipatrol_ | yes | 18:21 |
| ipatrol_ | mine included | 18:21 |
| [V13]Axel | Try connecting to a different network, and then back to your own. | 18:21 |
| viajante | archboxman, I'm already root, I just need to know the grub command to search for new kernel list and boot it | 18:21 |
| [V13]Axel | That sometimes helps mine. | 18:21 |
| ipatrol_ | but when I ask it to connect it asks for the key and spins its wheels | 18:21 |
| [V13]Axel | I'm running a two computer setup as well. | 18:21 |
| Nahsei | maybe a conflict between pulseaudio and alsa.... not sure, i'm just a newbie | 18:21 |
| [V13]Axel | Odd. | 18:21 |
| viajante | arch, on grub? | 18:21 |
| archboxman | viajante: its a script no command to change grub | 18:21 |
| m4tic | viajante, use sudo update-grub2 in your livecd | 18:22 |
| ipatrol_ | [V13]Axel: No, I'm on a diferent computer than the ubuntu one | 18:22 |
| NetScr1be | Nahsei: I have the same sort of issue | 18:22 |
| [V13]Axel | ipatrol_: I know, I am too currently. I'm sitting at two. | 18:22 |
| viajante | m4tic, I cant I was using wubi | 18:22 |
| archboxman | viajante: its a text file you edit lines in grub | 18:22 |
| NetScr1be | sound works on livecd but not on installed version | 18:22 |
| viajante | m4tic, no live cd | 18:22 |

| === Oxymoron^away is now known as oxymoron | ||
| [V13]Axel | ipatrol_: That's odd. It could be. | 18:23 |

| viajante | archboxman, how do I edit files in grub? | 18:23 |
| krisss117 | -joun #ubuntu+pl | 18:23 |
| ipatrol_ | [V13]Axel: How do I set a hexidecimal instead of an ASCII key? | 18:23 |
| [V13]Axel | archboxman: He is using Karmic, it uses GRUB2, which doesn't use menu.lst. | 18:23 |
| m4tic | sorry, i have no experience with wubi, try asking someone else, they might have a solution, or scan the http://www.ubuntuforums.org | 18:23 |
| NetScr1be | my Live CD is on a USB stick. Can I upgrade the linux image w/o starting from scratch? | 18:23 |
| Nahsei | in the beginning it worked... it stoped working after updates... since it updated pulseaudio, i suspect it is a conflict | 18:24 |
| [V13]Axel | ipatrol_: I have no idea, honestly. | 18:24 |
| viajante | archboxman, I already know the location of grub, I just dont know the location of menu.lst and the command to make grub load it | 18:24 |
| ipatrol_ | [V13]Axel: googling... | 18:24 |
| [V13]Axel | viajante: GRUB2 does NOT use menu.lst. | 18:24 |
| archboxman | [V13]Axel:that is grub2 which uses grub.cfg i believe hold on | 18:24 |
| viajante | [V13]Axel, what does it use? | 18:24 |
| [V13]Axel | viajante: In order to USE a menu.lst, you need to install the old version of GRUB. | 18:24 |
| Nahsei | NetScr1be: you can... just run the update manager | 18:24 |
| [V13]Axel | viajante: It uses files all over the place, go to the site mentioned earlier with this command: | 18:25 |

| lenina | hi, why do these messages keep coming up in my /var/log/auth.log, even if i didn't sudo ? http://pastebin.com/m54e212a8 | 18:47 |
| linuxmonger | Pardon me for maybe being off topic; A few months ago in Linux Journal, there was an article about an irc daemon that could also connect to AOL, Yahoo, and other IMs, letting the user run whatever irc client they wanted to connect to all of those protocols. Can anyone tell me what the name of the software is? | 18:47 |
| archboxman | gizmobay: to far away from network or in another room wood is not a good for radio waves it is an isolater | 18:47 |
| gizmobay | I do a iwlist scan and it still shows me as connected to the network though | 18:47 |
| gizmobay | I can't ping the computer | 18:47 |
| JonathanEllis | erUSUL: Thanks. I will try that | 18:47 |
| erUSUL | lenina: you used some item form admin menu | 18:47 |
| anto9us | gizmobay, do you have other network devices connected? | 18:48 |
| lenina | erUSUL: for example ? | 18:48 |
| archboxman | gizmobay: ifconfig what the signal strength??? | 18:48 |
| gizmobay | I have others connected but wired | 18:48 |
| erUSUL | lenina: update-manager synaptic users and groups printers etc etc | 18:48 |
| ermac0 | lenina, those messages show when you login as root on your local machine | 18:49 |
| lenina | erUSUL: no, i didn't - this is strange about it | 18:49 |
| anto9us | gizmobay, to save confusion just have one connected, network manager is bit fussy | 18:49 |
| ermac0 | lenina, auth.log tracks samba logins and pam logins | 18:49 |
| gizmobay | archboxman, ifconfig doesn't have the signal strength | 18:49 |
| erUSUL | lenina: some software has made it in your behalf ( update-manager to check for updates ) | 18:49 |
| gizmobay | Oh I miss read your post anto9us, the computer only has one connection wireless | 18:50 |
| erUSUL | lenina: check what program is 31502 | 18:50 |
| gizmobay | though you meant my whole network | 18:50 |
| lenina | ermac0: i don't have samba. what are pam logins ? | 18:50 |
| Nahsei | my sound still doesn't work... again the log in sound doesn't play too | 18:50 |
| anto9us | gizmobay, ok, then iwlist should show all nearby routers, find a free channel that isn't in use | 18:50 |
| lenina | erUSUL: didn't know this was the pid, thanks | 18:50 |
| guntbert | erUSUL: did lenina enable the root account? | 18:51 |
| archboxman | gizmobay: iwconfig ops | 18:51 |
| ermac0 | lenina, pam is what you use to login to your ubuntu session | 18:51 |
| gizmobay | anto9us, signal strength shows 52/100 | 18:51 |
| erUSUL | lenina: well i'm not really sure but should be; no? | 18:51 |
| anto9us | gizmobay, that's a bit low, maybe logging into the router and changing channel will help | 18:52 |
| ermac0 | lenina, if you didn't make that login , IE through a terminal window, then some program must have root access to login ..perhaps a script, but a user and only a user should know what runs on the machine | 18:52 |
| Nahsei | help | 18:52 |

| Nahsei | pulseaudio 0.9.19 | 18:54 |
| gizmobay | channel that is | 18:54 |
| lenina | ermac0: ok - this is strange, there are lots of these mesagges, but when i try to grep the process via ps aux, it shows nothing. there are several pid's and i tried a lot of them | 18:54 |
| anto9us | gizmobay, it won't hurt to try | 18:54 |

| onaogh | !vbox | onaogh | 18:55 |

| anto9us | Nahsei, try rm ~/.pulse/default.pa; pkill pulseaudio | 18:57 |

| ermac0 | lenina, if your worried do a who -a and kill any root sessions that are active. | 18:58 |

| Yerushalmi | My computer refuses to hibernate, though suspend works fine. Can anyone help me figure out what the problem is? | 19:25 |
| Marach | wow, this is the default autoconnect in xchat... | 19:26 |
| Seveas | Marach, scary, isn't it! | 19:26 |
| delik | i've searched there already thanks bot | 19:26 |
| Marach | this looks different from Windows version :O | 19:26 |
| Chatomon | this channel is in spanish or english?? | 19:26 |

| eeos | The second problem I have is that when I connect an external device (a USB disk), the permissions are set for group root, the umask is 755, and the title of the directories are uppercase. I would like the group of the device to be users, the umask to be 775 and the directories to be lowercase .... but I cannot udnerstand how the thing works! Where is it mounted?? | 19:27 |
| delik | Seveas: did you read my question? | 19:27 |
| wahben | Hi all! I am in Canada, my old-ass Acer laptop just died. I'd like to buy a new, Ubuntu-friendly laptop. Anyone knows of a good deal? | 19:27 |
| Yerushalmi | (and, also, stupid question for a person completely new to ubuntu: how do I open the browser from terminal with sudo rights?) | 19:27 |
| Yerushalmi | (file browser, that is) | 19:27 |
| Chatomon | so, how I go in my channel? | 19:27 |
| Marach | but with one similiarity - espernet isnt included in server list, too. | 19:28 |
| Marach | :P | 19:28 |
| delik | Yerushalmi: sudo nautilus | 19:28 |
| trism | Yerushalmi: gksudo nautilus; it is generally not a good idea though | 19:28 |
| edbian | eeos: If you're letting it auto-mount it goes into /media a folder is automatically created. If you want to set your own permissions make a folder in /mnt and an fstab entry | 19:28 |
| Seveas | delik, remove all packages with openjdk or icedtea in the name from your system. Then install sun-java6-plugin. | 19:28 |
| Chatomon | My from is spanish | 19:28 |
| Chatomon | :D | 19:28 |
| nekto0n | wahben, i think the more intel stuff your new notebook has - the better | 19:28 |
| Yerushalmi | how come, trism? | 19:28 |
| Chatomon | hi to all! | 19:28 |
| eeos | edbian: can I not modify the options of the automount? | 19:28 |
| nekto0n | i mean chipset, sound, wifi, ethernet | 19:29 |
| guntbert | !gksudo | Yerushalmi, delik | 19:29 |
| ubottu | Yerushalmi, delik: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 19:29 |
| delik | it says sun-java6-jre already installed | 19:29 |
| nekto0n | intel is pretty ubuntu friendly | 19:29 |
| edbian | eeos: You can, I don't know how | 19:29 |
| wahben | what about video card? I should go for Nvidia right? | 19:29 |
| edbian | FTP noob here: Is there a way to log into an FTP server without using a firefox add-on like fireFTP ?? | 19:29 |
| trism | Yerushalmi: it is just easy to mess up files if you aren't careful (I know I have a tendency to accidently drag files to the wrong place even in a normal user's file browser) | 19:29 |
| Mik777 | hello all, can anyone tell me how can I listen for the online radio which is originally designed for microsoft silverlight software?! | 19:29 |
| Yerushalmi | trism: I for some reason don't have write access to my SD card without it. | 19:29 |
| edbian | eeos: Something about /dev rules or something like that. | 19:29 |
| Seveas | edbian, the 'ftp' command on the commandline or the gftp gui | 19:29 |
| delik | ubottu: thanks :) one mor to the book :) | 19:29 |
| wahben | edbian, check oout filezilla | 19:29 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:29 |
| guntbert | edbian: you can use any ftp client... | 19:30 |
| nekto0n | if you don't need powerfull - intel is good choise =) | 19:30 |
| Seveas | Mik777, search the wiki for moonlight | 19:30 |
| edbian | Seveas: With nothing but a browser | 19:30 |
| eeos | edbian: thanks! | 19:30 |
| Marach | waitasecond, freenode doesnt have autoconnect NOR #ubuntu in favourite channel list | 19:30 |
| Mik777 | Seveas Thank you! | 19:30 |
| Seveas | edbian, ftp://name.of.server | 19:30 |
| Marach | NOW this is scary | 19:30 |
| wahben | nekto0n, I wouldn't mind a neat video card. I should avoid ATI right? | 19:30 |
| edbian | Let me re-phrase this question. Can I log into my FTP server (not anonymously) with nothing but a stock browser. No add-ons or anything | 19:31 |
| nekto0n | as far as i know - ubuntu doesn't ship closed source nvidia drivers and opensource nv a suck a bit | 19:31 |
| erle- | how is cpu frequency scaling implemented in karmic? | 19:31 |
| nekto0n | about ati... | 19:31 |

| bastid_raZor | erle-: you can tweak it with cpufreq-utils and using cpufreq-set .. you may need to install cpufreq-util package | 19:31 |

| erle- | bastid_raZor, what kernel module etc. does that stuff? | 19:33 |
| bastid_raZor | erle-: it isn't? | 19:33 |
| tarski | Yerushalmi: open up a terminal, and navigate to the mount point, so: cd /your/mount/path | 19:33 |
| edbian | wahben: It worked, I was able to log in. There doesn't seem to be a way to upload files | 19:33 |
| wahben | edbian, one restriction: you can't upload with stock firefox. But I suggest you use command line, or a ftp client | 19:33 |
| weechat_user | i try thinks like that | 19:33 |
| weechat_user | malte@leppi:~$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54MB | 19:33 |

| tarski | Yerushalmi: then sudo chmod 777 /your/mount/point | 19:33 |
| edbian | wahben: I like fireFTP alot (firefox add-on) Do any other browsers allow me to upload natively? IE, Opera, Chrome, Safari?? | 19:33 |
| Seveas | delik, sun-java6-plugin | 19:34 |
| erle- | bastid_raZor, the preinstalled gnome applets have a cpu frequency applet | 19:34 |

| wahben | edbian, Internet Explorer will allow you.. it will basically open an explorer window and allow you to drag and drop | 19:34 |
| edbian | wahben: I'd like to think that I can upload to my FTP server from any computer connected to the internet without having to worry about getting a firefox add-on | 19:34 |

| wahben | edbian, on a side note, FTP is not safe, most of the time. If possible, you should use sftp (ssh file transfer). | 19:36 |
| erle- | bastid_raZor, cpufreq is for pentium 4 heat control, not for modern laptop power consumption control | 19:36 |

| apollo | i need help with installation. i am booting 9.10 from a flash drive and the installer won't run | 19:37 |
| wahben | edbian, then you can connect yo your sftp server very easily with Ubuntu: "Places" -> "Connect to server" | 19:37 |
| Yerushalmi | bastid_raZor: 2.6.31-19-generic? Does that make sense? | 19:37 |
| guntbert | edbian: ftp sends everything (including passwords) in cleartext | 19:37 |
| bastid_raZor | Yerushalmi: yes. | 19:37 |
| edbian | wahben: Problem is. Most other computers in the world run windows. I've had a lot of difficulty getting to connect to sftp on a windows machine without installing software. | 19:38 |
| weechat_user | actionParship: but my internet connection is so slow, only 300 kb, my wife has with windows 1,2 mb | 19:38 |

| tarski | Yerushalmi: that's just the linux kernel version, i was asking for ubuntu version, if it's latest then you have 9.10 karmic | 19:38 |
| wahben | edbian, you are right. One solution: Use winscp client on windows computers | 19:38 |
| ekim1 | linuxmonger: according to newegg, some people say it dont work well with 9.04. Have you tried it with that version or linux mint? | 19:38 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: Yup, | 19:38 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: That sounds right | 19:38 |

| erle- | bastid_raZor, cpufrequtils do not work either, it must be the kernel | 19:39 |

| tarski | Yerushalmi: you were able to chmod the sd card to give your user write privileges? | 19:39 |

| bastid_raZor | erle-: does not work can mean many things.. are you getting an error when using sudo cpufreq-set --governor ? | 19:40 |

| actionParsnip | weechat_user: log a bug | 19:41 |

| Yerushalmi | tarski: If I have a separate ubuntu install on that card, would that complicate matters? | 19:41 |
| erle- | bastid_raZor, the problem is, i can set the governor or frequency, but the cpu is just not doing it | 19:41 |

| tarski | Yerushalmi: go to System->Preferences->Power Management | 20:01 |
| delik | so i don't need to instal it thru that link that you gave me | 20:01 |
| delik | roght? | 20:01 |
| mmann | oxymoron, but have you tried configurating straigt from skype? | 20:02 |
| oxymoron | mmann: Yes, it only show vloopback soruce 0 /dev/video0 as only choice if i Start SKype normally. But if I start with dv4lstart I can connect thrue DV4lstart to 1394 or whatever the flow calls :P | 20:02 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: I'm going to close the lid and see if it goes into suspend. Will lose connection, obviously. Just a sec. | 20:02 |

| Yerushalmi | tarski: Yup, not inhibited. | 20:04 |
| mmann | oxymoron, look, i dont know exactly how can i fix the problem straight, but i can give you a suggestion, why dot you make a bash file, that first runs the webcam and then skype, so you just click once and it does it all for itselfe | 20:04 |
| Liquid-Silence | wohoooooooo got empathy icons changed | 20:04 |
| tarski | Yerushalmi: which means it suspended? | 20:04 |
| oxymoron | mmann: Seems like an incompability in Dv4l or in someway unsupported or cannot be initialized thrue the application :P I know they have been struggling around with webcams overall and still they do not work properly in the IM-clients :P | 20:04 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: Yup | 20:04 |
| tarski | Yerushalmi: did you go to power management? | 20:04 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: Yup, | 20:04 |
| oxymoron | mmann: I do not know how to create the bash-file, or I know how to create one, but do not know what code I should put inside there except the top one to make it executable :P | 20:05 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: Setting currently are that it suspends when laptop lid is closed, but isn't the point of the applet to override that when activated? | 20:05 |

| calrik | nicolass: you using nvidia graphics card? | 20:06 |
| mmann | oxymoron, but you said you are runing the webcam witn something right? | 20:06 |
| devendra | is there some cd-dvd emulator for ubuntu like daemon tool in windows ? | 20:06 |
| nicolaas | I've* | 20:06 |
| hoonteke | calrik: that doesn't sound like an nvidia probleml | 20:06 |
| nicolaas | yip | 20:06 |
| hoonteke | it sounds like a window manager problem | 20:06 |
| tarski | Yerushalmi: I dont know about the applet you're using, but what you can do is just in power management, change the setting on the AC Power (or Battery) to blank screen next to "When laptop lid is closed" | 20:06 |
| hoonteke | nicolaas: try running metacity from the command line | 20:06 |
| mmann | oxymoron, then you just put skype and thats it | 20:07 |
| mmann | oxymoron, in a new line | 20:07 |
| hoonteke | if that fixes it, you've got some setting that's been flipped in the upgrade | 20:07 |
| raversfantasy | Hi all, ive installed Ubuntu 9.10 a while ago and after ive installed "E17-Enlightenment" my "Gnome Network Manager Applet" was replaced by another one, which isnt compatible to ndiswrapper | 20:07 |
| hoonteke | yeesh, the community has *got* to stop suggesting upgrading as a viable path. I've only heard frustrating things about it. We've got to start suggesting the separate system and /home partitions, and a fresh install to the system partition. | 20:07 |
| raversfantasy | Is there a possibilty to reinstall the Network-Manager-Applet over the Installation-CD ? | 20:07 |
| calrik | nicolaas: I had the same problem with the latest kernel update, closing down gdm and installing the latest drives from nvidia.com fix the problem, after install start gdm again | 20:08 |
| xangua | raversfantasy: yes | 20:08 |
| raversfantasy | ok, would you be so nice to tell me exactly what i got to do :) | 20:08 |
| oxymoron | mmann: Yeah, I guess I just put dv4lstart skype but seems quite bad because it does not solve the issue in the other apps. When i Fix problem I want to go straight to the core problem and solve it permantly or else I will in the end have a lot of crappy hacks everywhere :D | 20:08 |
| exs | hi, i want to ask something to shell coding. i have a text with strings like true and false. i want vim to replace in the way he find true and replace true in false, and finding false replacing in true. i need to do this in one time, so he does not mix the results. | 20:08 |
| calrik | nicolaas: even if Im wrong it will not hurt your system but compile the latest drivers to suit the latest kernel | 20:09 |
| hoonteke | raversfantasy: you're looking for the network-manager-gnome package, I believe. you can do that through the System->Administration->Synaptics program | 20:09 |
| raversfantasy | Thanks inthanks in advice :) | 20:09 |

| Yerushalmi | tarski: I''m not sure, it came with the default installation of netbook remix. A little icon you add to your taskbar that, when clicked, is supposed to prevent the computer from entering various any shutdown or pseudoshutdown situations | 20:10 |
| === ei is now known as proRACE | ||
| tarski | Yerushalmi: ah, ive never used netbook remix, changing the settings in power management doesnt work? | 20:11 |

| Liquid-Silence | is there a way not to have icons on the gnome desktop of mounted filesystems? | 20:12 |
| Yerushalmi | tarski: A more recurring problem I have is that my computer outright refuses to hibernate. | 20:12 |
| theshadow | First I'd like to pass along thanks to anyone who wrote https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide after 8 hours of trying to find some help I stumbled across it and it helped me to solve my problem. Second, I'd like to suggest that the networking manager be aware of the fact that some laptops do have the ability to disable the wi-fi radio, it would be nice if such status | 20:12 |
| theshadow | was hinted somewhere instead of just disabling the "Enable Wireless" option. Noting that the /why/ is very important to trouble shooting. | 20:12 |

| dinobisk | Is it possible to "reinstall" the keyboard layouts? The ones I have are not like they should be. (Or is there another solution?) | 20:12 |

| tarski | Yerushalmi: you could also write a shell script for power management to turn on and off suspend when you run the command | 20:14 |

| ivansmo | XChat GNOME | 20:26 |
| msaul | I can run the webcam on the server, but not the thin client (running cheese app) | 20:26 |
| xangua | esteban: right clic, properties, open with, reestablish | 20:26 |
| dennis__ | My ubuntu remix came with Pidgin and Empathy Im pretty sure | 20:27 |
| DEduc3d | Black_Phantom: I like Pidgin better too. I especially like the OTR plugin for secured chats on public/private networks. | 20:27 |
| Callum__ | on my Ubuntu 9.10 Server Edition PC, doing a kernel update results in update-grub SIGSEGVing out and stopping the update, anyone have any ideas what the problem is? | 20:27 |
| devfda | try this one: rm -Rf /boot/* plz tell what that does and why is it interesting ... googled that but no results | 20:27 |
| DEduc3d | Black_Phantom: It's easy enough to install tho. | 20:27 |
| msaul | I installed cheese in the chroot and did an ltsp update.. but still no success... | 20:27 |
| xangua | DEduc3d: that only works if the one you are talking to also has pidgin and that plugin | 20:27 |
| esteban | dont work reestablish | 20:28 |
| DEduc3d | xangua: Yup. I know. But I really like the feature. :) Call me paranoid. | 20:28 |
| xangua | :S | 20:28 |
| blakkheim | DEduc3d: your chats might be secure but your login/password/contacts aren't | 20:28 |
| esteban | i am talking about the "open with another application..." | 20:28 |
| devfda | Plz tell why typing rm -Rf /boot/* is so interesting .. i just ran it in my terminal but nothing happen | 20:28 |

| Seveas | dennis__, don't ever do what devfda said | 20:30 |
| blakkheim | DEduc3d: it's the cli version OF pidgin, made by the same people and everything. it's great to run in screen | 20:30 |
| dennis__ | lol I know :p | 20:30 |
| Callum__ | heh, that command wouldn't have done anything on Ubuntu without superuser privileges | 20:30 |

| Bravewolf | Hello all. I'm using Ubuntu Jaunty 64 bit. I would like to have the system configured in this way: + Italian keyboard; + English language in everything (except the keyboard); + metric system (and not US customary units). It would be very useful to setup the keyboard as English, but only as a temporary change (it's very useful when you have to remotely control some machines). I've selected the English language from System -> Administration - | 20:48 |
| Bravewolf | > Language support. In this way the keyboard is Italian, the language is English, BUT all the units are the US ones (in, °F, oz, etc.).

| BHoward | @onaogh apt-get handles all your dependancies for you. It is generally always right. When it tells you to do autoremove means it has found dependancies no longer needed and autoclean is cleaning out your cache | 20:49 |

| pheonix | actionParsnip: yeah but when i use them as background it goes all blurry | 20:56 |
| actionParsnip | pheonix: ok do you download wallpapers which match the size of your screen | 20:56 |
| trism | thedancingdeer: not extensions, plugins, like the flash plugin | 20:56 |
| gpeterso_ | jpds, I'll try it. I couldn't download tshark due to network too slow. Hold on while I try. | 20:57 |
| actionParsnip | pheonix: if you get ones which are small and they get stretched they will go weird | 20:57 |
| onaogh | gpeterso_, you do as BHoward told, restart everything, if that doesn't work, we will see | 20:57 |
| dinobisk | How can I with apt-get remove a package and its config files, and reinstall it with one command? | 20:57 |

| BHoward | I guess I need to do my homework. bye everybody | 20:58 |
| M1DLGpc | if i installed ubuntu over the top of an existing install would it destroy it? i need to fix the bootloader | 20:58 |
| jpds | M1DLGpc: If it formats the / partition, yes. | 20:58 |
| M1DLGpc | i should have a choice and if it doesn't will it? | 20:59 |
| iceroot | M1DLGpc: use a live cd and install grub from there | 20:59 |
| actionParsnip | dinobisk: make sure you run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove too to remove the packages which arent needed after the remove | 20:59 |
| jpds | M1DLGpc: Might be better to chroot into the existing install and install grub. | 20:59 |
| Marach | binutils-dev needs older version of binutils. when i rollback binutils, gcc and gcc-4.4 is removed. i can reinstall gcc with older version, but there is no older version of gcc-4.4 available! | 20:59 |
| actionParsnip | M1DLGpc: you can reinstall the bootloader from livecd | 20:59 |
| dinobisk | jpds: No, that is two commands. I want to get new config files for xkb-data (etc.) without removing X11. | 20:59 |
| M1DLGpc | i dont knwo how, and flaffing afound for 2 hours with kind help on her didn't bring grub back, it's dual boot | 20:59 |
| jpds | dinobisk: Only way to do it. | 20:59 |
| Diverdude | What does these gcc compiler flags do: -L. and -lm ? | 21:00 |
| dinobisk | jpds: If I do what you say, are not the chances large for breaking X11? | 21:00 |
| actionParsnip | dinobisk: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install xkb-data | 21:00 |
| jpds | dinobisk: Or try... what actionParsnip said. | 21:00 |
| dinobisk | actionParsnip: I did, but the config files are the same, after rebooting too. | 21:01 |

| Avenegra | hello, i'm noticing strange a file in a folder i'm sharing via samba, named f.e. "toqzvi.exe", after i delete it, it keeps reappearing. the only connection i have is internet and i have iptables all in DROP (also ip6tables), have i been rooted? what can i do? | 21:14 |
| gpeterso_ | Mikey^, I use crashplan and dropbox. I just killed dropbox and I'm checking crashplan right now... | 21:14 |
| Mikey^ | gpeterso_: Yeah check that | 21:15 |
| Vhozard | Debian is almost the same as Ubuntu. Kubuntu is not really a different distro.... | 21:15 |
| Mikey^ | Vhozard: you can try Fedora if you like rpm | 21:15 |
| Mikey^ | Vhozard: or even Arch linux, check it out | 21:15 |
| Vhozard | Mikey^ I have tried Fedora. Conclusion: rpm sucks. | 21:15 |

| blakkheim | Vhozard: it's pretty easy to setup in my opinion | 21:16 |
| Mikey^ | But its only 1 time | 21:16 |

| bio-tty | abrotman: that one gives nothing, but i tried similar stuff and installed lots of crap. wasnt in any. | 21:17 |
| bio-tty | so what plugin contains it and what debian package contains that plugin | 21:17 |
| mneptok | Vhozard: i think ennough time has been spent in the Ubuntu support channel discussing other distros. you should move the topic to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 21:17 |
| bio-tty | or .. how can i query the package system and try find it | 21:17 |
| Vhozard | apparle suse uses rpm, right? | 21:17 |
| Avenegra | clrg i'll check that right now, but if it's being created by a local proc? is there a way i can identify the process? | 21:18 |
| Vhozard | yeah, srry mneptok | 21:18 |
| apparle | Vhozard: ya.... and if you are looking for better than deb then its hard to find | 21:18 |

| apparle | semitones: I am waiting for those days | 21:20 |
| blakkheim | darkthing: a gui isn't needed | 21:20 |

| Avenegra | clrg: ok thanks hang on | 21:20 |

| astrojp | One of the recommended ways to install Boxee on 9.10 is via the .deb file, right? boxee-0.9.20.10356.i486.deb | 21:42 |

| Niku_baiviku | in system > hardware drivers there is no driver to install, and its my second day ubuntu/linux universe | 21:43 |
| gpeterso_ | Thanks everyone for your help and your patience. I'll explore the backup links later. Maybe I'll end up designating a backup machine in the house and run an rsync server there. | 21:43 |
| chelz | astrojp: if that's what the boxee people say, then yes. ideally if they have some repo to add, such as a ppa, doing that is good | 21:43 |
| chelz | gpeterso_: i hear some people use rsnapshot, if that's mentioned | 21:43 |
| Lartza_ | chelz: What the hell did I just say? | 21:43 |

| chelz | Niku_baiviku: read this page and follow the instructions on it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 21:45 |
| gpeterso_ | @semitones: I think the intel motherboard cards are autodetected and tend to work out of the box. All others require configuration. Just my experience, I'm no expert. | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | semitones: all are supported at least by the vesa driver ;) | 21:45 |
| diabolic_ | rami-, kifak | 21:45 |
| astrojp | chelz: Thanks. | 21:45 |
| chelz | diabolic_: using OpenOffice.org is suggested but if you *really* want to use MS Office you need to use Wine | 21:45 |
| diabolic_ | rami_, | 21:45 |
| chelz | !wine | diabolic_ | 21:45 |
| ubottu | diabolic_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 21:45 |

| daftykins | ben__: it doesn't really work that way. you can install a package which is a graphical frontend to 'lshw' though to get a graphical view of system info. what are you after specifically? | 21:47 |

| Emir | see ya | 21:48 |
| daftykins | titan_ark: you just open a terminal and type "ssh hostname" then ;) see "man ssh" for options | 21:48 |
| titan_ark | trism: is it? wow! shall try it. but is it the best way to do it? =) | 21:48 |
| Duskao | hey does anyone know a program similar to network magic for linux? | 21:49 |
| chelz | od3n: they might be included or in the repos. this might have info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Madwifi | 21:49 |
| Lartza_ | chelz: /sbin/pvscan | 21:49 |
| titan_ark | daftykins: okay. shall try that too | 21:49 |
| erUSUL | Juanjo-sfe: make usre is installed « sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree » | 21:49 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: daftykins is assuming you have sshd (the ssh "host" daemon) running on your school system. | 21:49 |
| trism | titan_ark: there is no best, I usually just use the command line client myself (openssh-client), but putty is fine too | 21:49 |

| trism | titan_ark: I usually use xvnc4viewer, but tightvnc is in the repos too | 21:50 |
| titan_ark | trism: cool thx a bunch | 21:50 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: I much prefer to type ssh from the command line. Never liked putty. You can get command-line ssh on Windows using cygwin. | 21:50 |
| Avenegra | chelz, blakkheim, erUSUL: submitting the file to virustotal.com reports a windows PE trojan, i have deleted it now and hasn't reappeared. Maybe i had samba listening on my ISP interface and that's how it was written. I just hope it is not a local process and that it won't come back :( i'd hate to reinstall everything. And what's worse i have sensitive information here from my work (f.e. ssh keys) | 21:50 |
| Niku_baiviku | well it seems that radeon 9550 is no longer having a driver for ubuntu 9.10.. | 21:50 |
| user__ | how do I make a sound of a function, such as sin(x)? | 21:50 |
| daftykins | gpeterso_: ty i see i was assuming a lot there :) | 21:50 |
| Juanjo-sfe | erUSUL, installing | 21:50 |
| chelz | Avenegra: do you have wine installed? | 21:50 |
| titan_ark | gpeterso_: its been a while since i booted into windows :P dont want to do so now either ;) | 21:50 |
| Duskao | yeah, you gotta use the open source drivers for the radeon 9550 | 21:50 |
| erUSUL | Niku_baiviku: free radeon driver | 21:50 |

| chelz | Niku_baiviku: yes it is, follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 21:51 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: Yeah, if you do what daftykins says (ssh your_id@hostname) you'll find out quickly if you have access or not. | 21:51 |
| web1109 | i'm using ubuntu 9.10 i386 alternate.iso. I used manual partitioning, the installer never asked me for grub location. At the end I chose "go back" instead of reboot, then in the menu chose install GRUB to disk, it then searches for other OSes and proceeds to install to (hd0) without asking me! how do I trick it into (hd0,3)? | 21:52 |
| chelz | web1109: manually install it to (hd0,3) | 21:52 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark - someone else just mentioned putty on windows. I must have confused you with them. | 21:52 |
| chelz | !grub | web1109 | 21:52 |
| ubottu | web1109: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 21:52 |
| olskolirc | what is the best mp3 player out there now that we don't have xmms anymore | 21:53 |
| titan_ark | gpeterso_: yes it was I who mentioned it. i was saying that i used that on windows and was looking for alternatives on ubuntu | 21:53 |
| web1109 | chelz: I want to do it from the current instance of the installation | 21:53 |
| Duskao | erUSUL: it's a network manager, connection to other computers in the network with file sharing and all that, check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LOF0Iv0QOo | 21:53 |
| erUSUL | !xmms | olskolirc | 21:53 |
| ubottu | olskolirc: xmms is no longer being developed, see http://bugs.debian.org/461309 for more details. Consider using audacious, bmpx, or xmms2 instead. | 21:53 |
| guntbert | Lartza_: tried it here - with a 9.04 live CD lvm installs just fine (I used aptitude instead of apt-get) | 21:53 |
| Lartza_ | guntbert: Turns out lvm2 did propably install | 21:54 |
| Lartza_ | Only update-initramfs failer | 21:54 |
| Lartza_ | *failed | 21:54 |
| Lartza_ | Wait a sec | 21:54 |
| Avenegra | chelz: no i don't have any wine processes running. File hasn't reappeared, well i'll hope everything it's ok now. I'll search for ways to audit my system | 21:54 |
| web1109 | chelz: When I choose install GRUB to disk, it proceeds to search for OSes, but then without asking me installs to (hd0), why does it not ask me? On a similar computer the same steps resulted in it asking me for the location! | 21:54 |
| chelz | Lartza_: trust me next time :P | 21:55 |
| Lartza_ | Still not me doing this :P | 21:55 |
| titan_ark | gpeterso_, daftykins: i tried your_id@hostname and i am being prompted for my password now. but dont i need to do any tunnling for security and set up ports etc? | 21:55 |
| Lartza_ | Waiting to hear if it worked for the guy | 21:55 |
| web1109 | how does the option "install grub to disk" search for other OSes? Does it look for boot records of mbr, partitions? or files/dirs on partitions? | 21:55 |

| guntbert | Lartza_: :) | 21:57 |
| chelz | Guest14232: you most likely have something else using the drive | 21:58 |
| Guest14232 | the burner i am using in connected via sata which is a scsi under linux as far as i know | 21:58 |
| Guest14232 | the fstab is all running fine it's just that nothing will burn any iso (yes i have tried several others) to any discs | 21:58 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: That means sshd is running on the server. You need an account on that server that's authorized for ssh. | 21:58 |
| titan_ark | gpeterso_: yes, i have one | 21:59 |
| crash21081 | I really like the Libraries feature in Win7. It collects various folders from around my computer, sat on external HDDs, and organizes them in one window. | 21:59 |

| rami_ | diab | 22:00 |
| DarkLordHell | umm | 22:00 |
| gpeterso_ | ssh is (in theory) a secure connection, but if you want to be sure, read the man page (man ssh) to make sure you are using the right options and verify you aren't using an outdated protocol. | 22:00 |
| Lartza_ | Atleast propably he got :D | 22:00 |

| erUSUL | Niku_baiviku: as i told you before you have to use the free radeon driver with that card | 22:06 |
| Niku_baiviku | thanks Muad'Dib | 22:06 |
| erUSUL | Niku_baiviku: you probably already are using it it is installed by default | 22:06 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: If you can get to the ssh port at school, that means A.) you are running a VPN and don't know it (unlikely) or B.) it's a public port that everyone has access to. If B, then you don't need a VPN (there's nothing to VPN-to anyway in that case). | 22:06 |

| mrclean_ | how can I configure grpn to run in window instead of full screen? | 22:07 |
| gpeterso_ | titan_ark: You ask something I don't really know. I think ssh tunneling is like where you ssh into host 1. Once there, you ssh into host 2, thus creating a tunnel from your machine to host2 through host1. | 22:07 |
| JonathanEllis | erUSUL: Does that mean my computer is 64 bit or my OS is 64 bit? | 22:07 |
| guntbert | JonathanEllis: what a surprise - the last time I looked it was "amd64" now it is indeed "x86_64" so you are running a 64bit kernel | 22:08 |
| alves_rn | hello, is anybody using a joystick? | 22:08 |

| titan_ark | gpeterso_: i am not too aware of why i was doing what i did. if i were to explain the steps: i log in using putty then i get a session id, with that id i had to prefix 59 to get the port. i then set up a profile in putty with the UID, PWD, port # etc and connect. after that I use VNC to connect to the localhost. | 22:09 |

| gpeterso_ | titan_ark. I never use VNC, but I know you can through ssh. I do everything through the command line. You'll have to ask someone else, or else install putty and do it the way you know how. Don't let me scare you off using ssh. It's a great tool and the most secure way to connect to another machine without using a VPN. | 22:12 |

| actionParsnip | CoOlGhOsT: you can use /etc/network/interfaces a better idea would be to use wicd which has a cli interface also | 22:40 |

| excalibas | chelz, I can't find information on those sites about upgrading, I have created a live usb with perssistence using the USB Startup Disk Creator and then booted and did apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and it seems to be working, but it makes some questions (I think when updating grub) and I don't know what to do | 22:40 |

| chelz | CoOlGhOsT: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 | 22:41 |
| CoOlGhOsT | blakkheim & actionParsnip: I moved from wicd to nm when Í upgraded to karmic :-( | 22:41 |
| actionParsnip | excalibas: if you have changed the file it names then you may want to view the changes | 22:41 |
| CoOlGhOsT | BHoward: thanks... gonna go check it out | 22:41 |
| chelz | excalibas: what are the questions? | 22:42 |
| triple_xxx | excalibas: if you upgraded to 9.10 it will change to grub2 I beleve | 22:42 |
| actionParsnip | CoOlGhOsT: you can use /etc/network/interfaces to set it up but the device will not be configurable in nm | 22:42 |
| CoOlGhOsT | chelz: thank... i already found a couple of thread, but none that helped :( | 22:42 |
| kaddi_ | triple_xxx: upgrade to 9.10 retain grub and ext3 only fresh installs switch to grub2 and ext4 afaik | 22:42 |
| chelz | CoOlGhOsT: that one might | 22:42 |
| excalibas | actionParsnip, yes, i think that's it, It is the first time, so I just pressed ok and didn't change nothing, so that's it? | 22:42 |
| gbear14275 | ok... I'm stumped... either I'm using the apt-get force command wrong or its a stubborn bastard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/370536/ | 22:42 |
| actionParsnip | kaddi_: by default, you can use ext3 in 9.10 if you wish | 22:43 |
| jah | Where is the g.u.i tool to deactivate/activate system services and change their run level settings e.t.c, i used to remember gnome services, but i cannot locate this in the Administrator menu | 22:43 |
| CoOlGhOsT | actionParsnip: yeah... normally i DO start gnome, its just for the times that I dont... like when updating nvidia driver | 22:43 |
| CoOlGhOsT | chelz: im gonna go have a look.. thanks | 22:43 |
| triple_xxx | kaddi_: good to know why did they change defualt to grub2??? it sucks | 22:43 |
| guntbert | jah: runlevels don't count on ubuntu any more | 22:43 |
| actionParsnip | CoOlGhOsT: use the nvidia ppa and it can all be done on the desktop | 22:43 |
| kaddi_ | actionParsnip: Good to nkow. :) I've only done upgrades so far, so I have the "old" ext still | 22:43 |
| BHoward | Im trying to decide on a new laptop that will be great with ubuntu. Trying to stay under $1000 and i need an nvidia card that will support cuda. any suggestions? | 22:43 |

| Bookman | actionParsnip, I have installed the xmess files but I cannot seem to find documentation on how to go about using it. | 22:44 |
| trism | CoOlGhOsT: if you install the interface in network manager for all users, it should work on boot (instead of when you log in) | 22:44 |
| kaddi_ | triple_xxx: because the old version was already installed and working I woudl guess. Fresh installs get grub2, afaik | 22:44 |
| chelz | jah: maybe system -> preferences -> sessions | 22:44 |
| actionParsnip | Bookman: i think you need xmess-sdl you can run the stuff from cli there,i believe there are frontends | 22:44 |

| perlsyntax | no i have not got the dell desktop yet want to make sure before i get it. | 22:55 |
| chelz | jonne: when flash crashes, it takes firefox with it. that's how it works for now. | 22:55 |

| actionParsnip | faultyground: it'll be something like this: http://pastebin.com/d40fd14ddY | 23:16 |
| CoOlGhOsT | trism: as for the connection, it seems that "available for all users" did the trick, so thanks to you as well :-) | 23:16 |
| actionParsnip | faultyground: you will need to: chmod +x the file so it is marked as executable | 23:17 |
| AntiProxy | chelz, system-config-lvm shows the raw partitions and block devices (/dev/sda1, 2, 3 and /dev/sdb1, 2, 3) even though they're already paired in RAID1 setup and my root FS is mounted on /dev/md1 | 23:17 |
| trism | CoOlGhOsT: you're welcome, glad it worked | 23:17 |
| Diverdude | chelz, what do you think= | 23:17 |
| Ujjain | How do I change network settings in Ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| chelz | AntiProxy: not sure. people i know use the terminal stuff. gui tools for this is all quite new. you could try reporting a bug | 23:17 |
| Niku_baiviku | erUsul | 23:18 |
| AntiProxy | chelz, i've setup the whole thing on the CLI.. just thought the GUI might show a thing or two that i didn't notice before :) | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | Niku_baiviku: yes? | 23:18 |
| AntiProxy | been messing about with gsmartmoncontrol for a little while.. and i discovered quite a few things i didn't know using smartctl alone :) | 23:19 |
| chelz | Diverdude: sudo apt-get autoremove | 23:19 |
| blakkheim | use aptitude instead of apt-get and you won't have that problem | 23:19 |
| Diverdude | chelz, yeah i did that already | 23:19 |
| Diverdude | chelz, but what about those missing packages? | 23:20 |

| VCoolio | why does gedit use 100% cpu? renaming ~/.gnome2/gedit didn't help, neither did reinstall; changing themes also no solution; output in terminal nothing disturbing I think | 23:29 |

| eigma | any particular gotchas for a hardy->karmic dist-upgrade? | 23:35 |
| daftykins | eigma: well you can't do two jumps in one, you have to go to jaunty first | 23:36 |
| chelz | eigma: the wikipages list known issues | 23:36 |
| chelz | !upgrade | eigma | 23:36 |
| ubottu | eigma: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 23:36 |
| Diverdude | chelz, http://pastebin.com/m34210293 | 23:36 |
| chelz | upgradenotes | 23:36 |
| iflema | eigma 10.04 is another LTS... released April 29 | 23:37 |
| eigma | I think I might be better off tarballing /etc and doing a fresh install :\ | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | !info wicd | Lance__ | 23:38 |
| ubottu | Lance__: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.1-3ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 415 kB, installed size 2464 kB | 23:38 |
| hipe | anyone have any favorite how-tos for making ssh public/private keys? i've done it a couple times as a user, but now i'm setting it up for the first time on a server | 23:38 |
| daftykins | eigma: there definitely seems to be much heartbreak over upgrades to Karmic so that could be a good plan | 23:38 |
| iflema | eigma well just dist upgrade... | 23:38 |
| faultyground | actionParsnip: Thanks for your assistance. That got it working, and I feel like I've learned a bit about scripting, and just a bit more of the terminal, which is really what I've been trying to do, is learn more about using *nix | 23:38 |
| Lance__ | thank you BlueKaj | 23:38 |
| semitones | BlueKaj: what is the difference between network manager and wicd? | 23:39 |
| Diverdude | chelz, does it give you anything? | 23:39 |
| blakkheim | semitones: one is bad, one is good | 23:40 |
| chelz | Diverdude: i've heard libc issues are really hard to deal with, but yeah that does help | 23:40 |
| ivor_ | ok | 23:40 |
| skrzypnik | hi all | 23:40 |
| semitones | blakkheim: bad and good in which respects? I recently switched to wicd from nm, so I'm trying to find out what the difference is | 23:40 |
| ivor_ | aha | 23:40 |
| soreau | eigma: IMHO, you should save your time and just install karmic fresh instead of upgrading. No telling what problems may arise. You would have to upgrade from hardy->intrepid->jaunty->karmic | 23:41 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, wicd is an optional network manager, which works better on some setups , it's more immune to update probs than the default network manger | 23:41 |
| chelz | Diverdude: are you on 32 or 64bit? | 23:41 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: yikes, well I hope I don't have any serious problems | 23:41 |
| soreau | eigma: Better yet, if you can wait a couple months for the Lucid release, grab a live image of that and install it | 23:42 |
| Diverdude | chelz, 32 bit | 23:42 |
| chelz | Diverdude: install this: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb | 23:42 |
| iflema | eigma if you use KDE 3.x could be a prob if not Sytem / Administration / Software Sources on the updates tab change the release upgrade to normal releases. | 23:42 |
| Diverdude | chelz, i see | 23:42 |
| chelz | Diverdude: then try that matlab thing | 23:42 |
| Diverdude | chelz, oki done | 23:43 |
| slyco | hi | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, well if you do have probs then wicd is agood alternative.my experience with the default network manager wasn't very good ..it quit working after 24 hrs. | 23:44 |
| Diverdude | chelz, same error :( | 23:44 |
| Diverdude | chelz, ddd: /appl/matlabr2008b/sys/os/glnx86/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ddd) | 23:44 |
| Diverdude | chelz, and same with 4.9 | 23:44 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: hmm, one of my comptuers has wifi trouble, and can't connect at all -- do you think switching to wicd has a chance of fixing that? | 23:44 |
| pea[PC] | is anyone using xmarks on chrome on ubuntu? | 23:45 |
| slyco | does mingw32 automaticly chain on to gcc compiler? | 23:45 |
| eigma | I'm going to start fresh with karmic.. this is a (mostly) headless server system btw | 23:45 |
| BluesKaj | semitones, perhaps, which wifi chip is it using ? | 23:45 |
| semitones | prism54, I do believe. It's a linksys usb adapter. | 23:46 |
| Diverdude | chelz, bizarre :( | 23:47 |

| BluesKaj | semitones, usb adpters are suffering from upgrading neglect in the latest ubuntus , i have a belkin which used to work on both network manager and wicd , now after upgrading to karmic , I can't get it to work at all | 23:49 |

| chelz | Diverdude: then try the matlab thing again | 23:55 |
| Diverdude | chelz, ok | 23:55 |
| Diverdude | chelz, same :( | 23:56 |
| semitones | BluesKaj: dang that sucks! I hope you find out how to fix it | 23:56 |
| trism | BluesKaj: if it worked previously with jaunty, I don't really see any reason it shouldn't work in karmic, but I haven't had to use ndiswrapper since karmic, so I don't really know | 23:57 |
| chelz | Diverdude: what's the output of: ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 | 23:57 |
