| Dravekx | jrib, so technically, I want ownership of /var/www, but I can leave the group as root, correct? that way I can 644 everything and still edit/upload files? | 00:05 |
|---|
| asger | darolu, yeah, that's the one you linked. I already got scale, but then i guess i need to configure it in some special way, right | 00:07 |

| Dravekx | that sounds right | 00:08 |
|---|

| rolandixor | I use both | 00:41 |

| Jordan_U | nixjr, You can set "swappiness" to zero and it will only use it when it's absolutely needed. | 00:54 |
|---|
| enkidu | you can run 'sudo swapoff -a' if you think, that it slows your system, but it is non-recommended | 00:55 |

| Dr_Willis | ive rarely seen linux swap unless memory is used up.. windows on the other hand.. uses swap even whenyou got 5+gb.... | 00:55 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | dsnyders: metacity --replace is one way | 00:56 |
|---|
| blakkheim | SadPanda: i just commented out the cdrom line and took out three unneeded lines at the bottom | 00:56 |

| enkidu | Jordan_U, swappiness is usable, if you have tmpfs ramdisk | 00:56 |

| rolandixor | dsnyders: simply run metacity --replace | 00:56 |

| rolandixor | if you are on GNOME that is | 00:57 |

| rolandixor | or you can use the appearance settings | 00:57 |

| Typos_King | datta: means, aptitude/synaptics/adept/else are just front-end for dpkg, and dpkg uses a lock file and only 1 frontend can use it at any given time | 01:09 |

| enkidu | phoenix91290, I wont recommend any, I learned linux by trial-and-errors | 01:10 |

|---|
| === docmax01 is now known as docmax |
| Nitsuga | Kugelschreiber, use a live-cd or avoid copying the contents of /proc, /sys and /dev | 01:11 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Kugelschreiber: theres numerous ways to do that. But some may need extra tweaking | 01:11 |
|---|
| Typos_King | Kugelschreiber: dd it | | 01:11 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | !clone | 01:11 |
|---|
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 01:11 |

|---|
| Typos_King | enkidu: isn't it? ..... maybe I missed his purpose | 01:13 |
|---|
| enkidu | just dont copy /proc /sys and /dev | 01:14 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Special system dirs can cause issues like enkidu says. then thers various cache files that proberly dont need copied either | 01:14 |
|---|
| Kugelschreiber | i want to transfer ubuntu to another partition, so i must copy /proc /sys and /dev, right? | 01:14 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Kugelschreiber: those are special dirs handled in spefial ways | 01:14 |
|---|
| enkidu | cache files can be copied, its just bloating process | 01:14 |

| datta | any help with that? please anyone with the error: This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first. | 01:15 |

|---|
| Typos_King | datta: check your processes, more likely there's anotehr frontend using the same app, and the lock file won't allow two | 01:16 |

| Dr_Willis | yep thers simple with dd.. and tweaks.. or using more powerfiull tools... | 01:16 |

|---|
| Kugelschreiber | enkidu, my new partition has the same filesystem than my partition in which ubuntu is installed | 01:17 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | partimage or fsarchiver are also decent tools to use from what i hear. I rarely 'clone' a installed system to a different hd. | 01:17 |

|---|
| enkidu | Kugelschreiber: now you say that? | 01:17 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: .... ah..... can't say.... offhand what I can think of, is some apt-get frontend.... try installing 'qps' which is a visual process manager, and shows more than 'top' does | 01:17 |
|---|
| enkidu | you can safely dump image between disks | 01:17 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | You can clone at the 'filesystem' level. or at the 'drive image' level :) each has pros and cons | 01:17 |

| richard123 | Typos_king: where do I find the file- what is the main directory I look for? Thank you. | 01:28 |
|---|
| blakkheim | SomeKittens: just ask your question | 01:28 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: any suggestion would be helpful and thank you for helping me this much | 01:28 |

| Earthen | Nitsuga, running karmic 9.10 | 01:28 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, so it is installed on ins own partition | 01:28 |
|---|
| Typos_King | richard123: you can try checking /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file | 01:28 |
|---|
| racerd | what is a good ftp client to use? | 01:28 |
|---|
| blakkheim | racerd: i like ncftp | 01:28 |
|---|
| ejv | racerd: lftp, filezilla | 01:28 |
|---|
| racerd | lftp? | 01:28 |
|---|
| datta | racerd, you could use filezilla | 01:28 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, use a live-cd to see if that partition is mountable and exists | 01:28 |
|---|
| metricpiano | racerd: you can ftp with file browser... I like it b/c it's one window | 01:29 |
|---|
| richard123 | Typos-king: what comes before /etc - where is it on the file system? | 01:29 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, yes and it and duel boot with windows and windows run's fine so the hard drive is good | 01:29 |
|---|
| purpzey | Is it bad to transfer several gigs worth of files using an NSF mount, from one machine to another locally? | 01:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | if it does, only he has to do is to fix the bootloader | 01:29 |
|---|
| datta | racerd, try any firefox ftp client | 01:29 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: close synaptic completely :), close your terminal, and retry on either | 01:29 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, did that the partiton is there and mountable | 01:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | purpzey, I do that everytime | 01:29 |
|---|
| ejv | in the words of stanley from the office... "did i stutter?!" | 01:29 |
|---|
| ejv | xD | 01:29 |
|---|
| blakkheim | ... | 01:29 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: they are both closed completely | 01:29 |
|---|
| Rocafort8 | every time i try to open GNU Solfege it throws me "No module named _solfege_c_midi" | 01:29 |
|---|
| Typos_King | richard123: nothing hehehe, is just / :) is the root folder, or in win32 speak, is C:\ | 01:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, do you know which is its device name (/dev/xxx) | 01:30 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, from what we gathered it seems like grub cannot find the UUID | 01:30 |
|---|
| purpzey | Nitsuga: It'll be tremendously slow though, right, I mean, no matter how I transfer it? | 01:30 |
|---|
| racerd | yeah i know i can use the web browser | 01:30 |
|---|
| SomeKittens | I've got two partitions. Installed 9.04 on one, worked fine until I installed XP on another, now I can't boot to Ubuntu. I've tried Super Grub Disk, Auto Super Grub Disk, and booting several variations off of several different USB sticks. I still have not been able to install GRUB. | 01:30 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: i think i should restart to fix this, okay will come back soon | 01:30 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, /dev/sda6/ | 01:30 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: try rerunning the lsof command, to see if it's still in use | 01:30 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | purpzey, it depends of your connection | 01:30 |
|---|
| racerd | but sometimes i have problems with downloading from my coworker's ftp files | 01:30 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: don't forget to install 'qps' hehe | 01:30 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | purpzey, if you have a Gigabit LAN it will be as fast as the hard drive | 01:30 |
|---|
| enkidu | SomeKittens: use livecd, chroot to your Ubuntu drive, run grub | 01:31 |
|---|
| purpzey | Nitsuga: I see. That depends on my router model? | 01:31 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, guess that's no Ubuntu repair system button in the Live cd is ther LOL | 01:31 |
|---|
| SomeKittens | I've used liveUSB (don't have any cd's handy) | 01:31 |
|---|
| enkidu | SomeKittens: doesnt matter | 01:31 |
|---|
| blakkheim | Earthen: linux is kind of a "repair it yourself" operating system :) | 01:31 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, tell him to press the "e" key in the bootloader | 01:32 |
|---|
| richard123 | Typos_king: Ok, got it, there are a number of blacklist files - which one? | 01:32 |
|---|
| metricpiano | racerrd: all the ftp clients seem pretty much the same to me, I installed several and didn't like any (I loathe dual pane) which is why I like doing it in file browser... but it's a matter of opinion, most of them (I think) should work fine | 01:32 |
|---|
| Typos_King | richard123: the 'blacklist' one :) | 01:32 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | remove de search line and change root=UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to root=/dev/sda6 | 01:32 |
|---|
| === milkshakes is now known as Infamy |
| Nitsuga | then press ctrl-X and it whould boot correctly | 01:32 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: well still the problem persists | 01:33 |
|---|
| SomeKittens | no GUI, just limited terminal. 9.04, 9.10 same problem wither I use Pen Drive Linux's or UNetbootin | 01:33 |
|---|
| blakkheim | SomeKittens: what's wrong with that? | 01:33 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | purpzey, your router and your ethernet card | 01:33 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: did you relog back in or rebooted? | 01:33 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, tried that and I tried changed "root=/dev/sda6" but no work | 01:33 |
|---|
| richard123 | Typos_king: there are 5 blacklist- files? | 01:33 |
|---|
| purpzey | Nitsuga: Ah I see. Should avoid using nautilis to transfer the files..e.g. should I use cp from CLI? or it doesn't matter? | 01:33 |
|---|
| SomeKittens | I have no clue what to do from there... The Wiki didn't help | 01:33 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, did you remove the "search" line? | 01:33 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: rebooted and logged back in | 01:33 |
|---|
| Typos_King | richard123: yes, and there's 1 blacklist one | 01:33 |
|---|
| Kugelschreiber | all i have to do in etc/fstab is changing uuid=oldpartition to uuid=newpartition right? (want 2 "transfer" ubuntu to another partition, see above) | 01:34 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | purpzey, it doesn't matter | 01:34 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, no i didn't | 01:34 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: weird problem i would say which i had never faced | 01:34 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | just copy like if it was any file | 01:34 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: same trouble... with the lock? | 01:34 |
|---|
| purpzey | Nitsuga: Ok, thanks. | 01:34 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: yes | 01:34 |

| tzanger | Good evening. I'm having a hell of a time getting gpg-agent to pop up the gui program. I have removed use-ssh-agent from Xsession.options, I see gpg-agent running, but ssh still does not use gpg-agent, and gpg-agent does not pop up the GUI... | 01:34 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, I'll give it a shot and see what happends | 01:35 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: i think i should write it up in ubuntuforums so that there are more people to help me | 01:35 |
|---|
| tzanger | Google is just telling me to make sure ~/.gnupg/ has the appropriate files (it does) and with the right settings (they do) | 01:35 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Earthen, also change the "set root=" line to set root=(hd0,6) | 01:35 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: though you tried i think u did everything that you could have done | 01:35 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: and sudo apt-get update; gives you the same error? | 01:35 |
|---|
| tzanger | I think I'm missing one crucial step to tie ssh and gnupg together | 01:35 |
|---|
| richard123 | Typos_king: can I send you the contents for you to help me? | 01:36 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: .... if you can... maybe try a -> sudo apt-get -f install | 01:36 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 01:36 |
|---|
| Typos_King | assuming it was a bad install or some versioning conflict | 01:36 |
|---|
| datta | this is the error for sudo apt-get update | 01:36 |
|---|
| datta | Typos_King: same for -f install | 01:37 |
|---|
| Typos_King | datta: then try a -> sudo dpkg -a, or --pending | 01:38 |
|---|
| Earthen | Nitsuga, root=(hd0,6) is there by dafault | 01:38 |

| Dr_Willis | jeeez: unless you got autologin set in gdm | 01:41 |

| Nitsuga | Earthen, you can do that or you can try to recover your system | 01:41 |

| enkidu | jeeez: restart xdm / kdm / gdm | 01:41 |

| richard123 | enkidu: please write me the full command please? | 01:50 |
|---|
| normand | in firefox ? | 01:50 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: use synaptic | 01:50 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | glx gears works as a blunt test...however if i try to run nexuiz - ubuntu crashes. if i try running the GL screen savers = they dont work either. | 01:50 |
|---|
| Guest17134 | packrat_mobile: are the drivers your using the proprietary ones from ATI? | 01:51 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: just type in 'search' box 'nvidia', find nvidia-kernel and choose 'reinstall' | 01:51 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | xubu: are you just running it by itself? or are you dual booting? (just curious i have ag4 700 here) | 01:51 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | normand: in the package manager tools.. firefox has nothng to do with it | 01:51 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | Guest17134: no i am not. | 01:51 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | normand: run synaptic, look for ubuntu-restricted-extras or 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' | 01:52 |

|---|
| Guest17134 | Try downloading the drivers from ATI. I have a 4850, and they work great. | 01:52 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | Guest17134: I tried installing those. no dice. i even downloaded the most recent version, and an older version. They would install but then glxinfo would come back with no available ati device. | 01:52 |
|---|
| waterfoul | init 1 i guess it is called recovery mode in grub | 01:52 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: is it nvidia-kernel-commom? only this one? | 01:52 |
|---|
| waterfoul | and i got the same error | 01:52 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | Guest17134: Reboot would put me back into low rez mode. | 01:53 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | all of this really started cuz i was screwing around trying to get a dual monitor setup working, wound up almost hosing the whole config... | 01:53 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: probably it is this one | 01:54 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | packrat_mobile: you could just move/remove the xorg.conf file and restart X - it might figure it out. | 01:54 |

| === voidprayer-ns is now known as voidprayer |
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: its not as themeable as in the old ubuntu. Thers somne tools to do minor tweaking and changes.. but not a lot. | 02:12 |
|---|
| blakkheim | packrat_mobile: ati is the enemy of your freedom | 02:12 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: I restarted but it did not help. This may seem stupid but I did something in a terminal earlier before the problem started todo with 'tty2' - is that a hint? | 02:13 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | /msg blakkheim care to explain that one? i like AMD... | 02:13 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | jman888: many of those services/tools only support windows and have such DRM featues that they cant work in linux/wine/virtualbox | 02:13 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu;[I was trying to get help with a nvidia graphics card] | 02:13 |
|---|
| ryan___ | packrat_mobile: They don't give out their drivers as open source =P | 02:13 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | ooo | 02:13 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | its only recently that ATI and AMD merged.. :) | 02:14 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | and nvidia does? | 02:14 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | very true doc. | 02:14 |
|---|
| racarter | is pidgin now empathy? | 02:14 |
|---|
| jman888 | Dr_Willis, Yeah i figure that, oh well guess i will just have to periodically boot to windows | 02:14 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: I'm going nuts... I'm new with Ubuntu.. I just started 2 days ago... I use Compiz + Emerarld engine, but I don't have a clue how to install a GTK based screensaver... is it possible with a setup like mine? | 02:14 |
|---|
| blakkheim | racarter: they are two different projects entirely | 02:14 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Nvidia has had better linux support from what ive seen over the last few years. | 02:14 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | ATI/AMd makes promises.. then they dont seem to follow through | 02:14 |
|---|
| andrewa | i dont like my ati x1250 card. | 02:14 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: try 'modprobe nvidia' ? | 02:14 |
|---|
| Pattrick | so guys, any clue as to why my screen resolution cannot be selected? | 02:15 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: i wouldent worry about a screensaver.. and emerald is basicallyt a dead project... | 02:15 |
|---|
| racarter | blakkheim, why did ubuntu switch to empathy? | 02:15 |
|---|
| archboxman | Dr_Willis: ATI is catching up... | 02:15 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: theres the xscreensver packages if you want more screensavers | 02:15 |
|---|
| soreau | madjoe: I don't think there is such thing as a 'gtk based' screensaver. You probably just want to install something like xscreensaver | 02:15 |
|---|
| blakkheim | racarter: dunno | 02:15 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | archboxman: i hear that claim every so often.. but im not buying ati any time in the foreseeable futre | 02:15 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: FATAL: Module nvidia not found | 02:15 |
|---|
| racarter | to be honest, empathy doesn't seem much different than pidgin | 02:15 |
|---|
| blakkheim | racarter: bad choice imo, but i don't use ubuntu so it doesn't affect me | 02:16 |
|---|
| Pattrick | hey, fixed it, I think | 02:16 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | so why would something like gears work...but not gl matrix...even the compiz stuff is working much better now. | 02:16 |
|---|
| andrewa | so, ya, i recently switched from vista, to ubuntu, and am kinda confused on some things | 02:16 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: I just found one that is cool, made all steps to install it, but it won't show up... instead Ubuntu shows the default one... even if I change "default" to "nsa" | 02:16 |
|---|
| adam | i have installed the HPLip how do i get itto install the printer | 02:16 |
|---|
| racarter | sorry to repeat but, did ubuntu do something different with fonts in 9.10? | 02:16 |
|---|
| racarter | it looks much improved to me, but I'm not sure if it is something I did or if I'm just crazy | 02:16 |
|---|
| soreau | packrat_mobile: gl matrix? | 02:16 |
|---|
| skraps | anyone had problems with apache not running php scripts but spitting them out for download? | 02:16 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: ok, so automagic installer didn helped | 02:16 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: its possible its a 'xscreensaver' screensaver not a gnome screensaver.. Theres been fighting over the last few years over how to 'properly' do screensavers | 02:17 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | soreau: the screensaver GLMatrix. | 02:17 |

|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: sorry - please explain? | 02:17 |
|---|
| racarter | is ubuntu using truetype fonts by default now? | 02:17 |
|---|
| soreau | packrat_mobile: What is not working about it? | 02:17 |
|---|
| madjoe | soreau + Dr_Willis: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/NSA++GNOME+Lock+Screen?content=89014 | 02:17 |
|---|
| archboxman | Dr_Willis: Hey well everyone has there opnion, gamers fight about which is better for games ati and nvidia and it really boils down to who supports the card or what game writes it for that card | 02:17 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | racarter: yes. should be enabled. | 02:17 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | racarter, always used OpenType | 02:17 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: I've made all steps described.. no luck. | 02:17 |
|---|
| Pattrick | okay, kinda fixed it | 02:17 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | (which is way better than TrueType) | 02:17 |
|---|
| racarter | well, whatever is going on I think the fonts looks great in 9.10 | 02:18 |
|---|
| Pattrick | now, theres no easy way for me to bring my 45g music collection to ubuntu from Vista, is there? | 02:18 |
|---|
| racarter | wish I knew what exactly changed... | 02:18 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | Soreau: it engages but nothing shows up on the screen. | 02:18 |
|---|
| Aug | Hi all | 02:18 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | racarter, maybe they changed the default antialias settings | 02:18 |
|---|
| soreau | madjoe: It even gives you instruction on how to install that.. | 02:18 |
|---|
| jimi_ | Question, why does gdialog --title 'I love' --msgbox "Anthony & Joseph" 5 20 output "all updates complete" but if I remove the & and type 'and' it works ? | 02:18 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | there are in the appareance properties | 02:18 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | soreau: i checked the bug reports but thats not what is happening with mine. | 02:18 |
|---|
| soreau | packrat_mobile: That's strange.. | 02:18 |
|---|
| madjoe | soreau: I know.. I did all the steps with no luck | 02:18 |
|---|
| madjoe | soreau: I did all the steps with no "human" errors | 02:19 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: could be its out of date with changes in the screensaver.. it seems to be a THEME for a screensaver.. | 02:19 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: I have an instruction to run nvidia-xconfig as root - what should I do? | 02:19 |
|---|
| blakkheim | jimi_: you might want to learn some bash basics | 02:19 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | jimi_, bash is substituting the ampersand. Just use '' instead of "" | 02:19 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | soreau: quite. and i started over and worked through that little tutorial thing. and got to where i am now, after trying several different approaches. | 02:19 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: it will change nothing | 02:19 |
|---|
| jimi_ | Nitsuga, what is it substituting the text from? | 02:19 |
|---|
| adam | thanks | 02:19 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: what do you suggest please? | 02:20 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: ls /usr/src/linux-`uname -r` | 02:20 |
|---|
| jimi_ | Nitsuga, changing to single quotes didn't make a difference | 02:20 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: ok, since I've downloaded two screensavers, can you suggest some other page to change my ubuntu installation except that page? | 02:20 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | jimi_, the & is for backgrounding processes | 02:20 |
|---|
| soreau | madjoe: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, thoguh I haven't tried it | 02:20 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: change what aspect? | 02:20 |
|---|
| === FeiRuoWa is now known as zz_FeiRuoWa |
| soreau | packrat_mobile: Which driver do you use? | 02:20 |

|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: ls: cannot access /usr/src/linux-2.6.31-16-server: No such file or directory | 02:20 |

| packrat_mobile | soreau: "radeon" | 02:20 |
|---|
| packrat_mobile | soreau: the open source variety. | 02:21 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: thers 10000's of themes out there and theme parts. and tools to allow easy downloading of them gnome-art, gnome-artng and others. | 02:21 |
|---|
| racarter | I am IM'ing myself side by side in empathy and pidgin and I cannot figure out what the difference is... | 02:21 |
|---|
| madjoe | soreau: can you try it if you have ubuntu 9.10, please? | 02:21 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: apt-get install linux-headers | 02:21 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: login screen -> play with the files in xsplash if you want or check out the gdm2 config tools that exist. (not many iof them) | 02:21 |
|---|
| Pattrick | okay guys | 02:21 |
|---|
| racarter | what is this growl-like thing happening in ubuntu? | 02:21 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: so there's nothing wrong with that link.. you can recommend it? | 02:21 |
|---|
| Pattrick | I kinda like this | 02:21 |
|---|
| racarter | i like it | 02:21 |
|---|
| Pattrick | but | 02:21 |
|---|
| KiRiLoS | I gave a static ip to my system by changing /etc/network/interfaces.Everything works great but knetworkmanager shows that i'm not connected and connection name changed | 02:21 |

|---|
| soreau | packrat_mobile: I use the same one and it worksforme here on my gentoo installation.. | 02:22 |
|---|
| trism | racarter: it is notify-osd | 02:22 |
|---|
| enkidu | KiRiLoS: knetworkmanager is buggy | 02:22 |
|---|
| archboxman | Pattrick: burn to dvd or use external means to transfer | 02:22 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: what link? that screensaver theme link? its just gnome-look.org - I rarely use the site. I use tools that GET files from the site or from the gnomeart sites | 02:22 |
|---|
| enkidu | brb, need to check sth | 02:22 |
|---|
| KiRiLoS | enkidu, you think that's the case? | 02:22 |
|---|
| racarter | looking like empathy is the only thing that works with this notify-osd | 02:22 |
|---|
| racarter | looks like i'll be using empathy | 02:22 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: gnome-look.org | 02:22 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: it returned a list, OK, next step? | 02:22 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, you can acces to it directly | 02:23 |
|---|
| soreau | madjoe: I can't try it right now, but maybe later | 02:23 |
|---|
| racarter | trism: do you know how to configure notify-osd? it opens at the top of my screen which i don't want | 02:23 |
|---|
| trism | racarter: pidgin works too, as to many other apps | 02:23 |
|---|
| archboxman | Pattrick: same computer or differnet computer??? | 02:23 |
|---|
| madjoe | soreau: thanx | 02:23 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: its just a collection of stuff people submit. Thers dozens of theme ppa repos and themes in the default package listings you can also use | 02:23 |
|---|
| skraps | when i try to run my php script by browsing to the apacheserver it only lets me download instead of view the file in the browser | 02:23 |
|---|
| racarter | oh dear, then maybe back to pidgin for me? | 02:23 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: sorry, I misstyped | 02:23 |
|---|
| hiexpo | helllo all | 02:23 |
|---|
| Pattrick | archboxman | 02:23 |
|---|
| trism | racarter: it is not configurable unfortunately, without editing the source | 02:23 |
|---|
| Pattrick | same computer | 02:23 |
|---|
| enkidu | richard123: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 02:23 |
|---|
| racarter | trism: that is unfortunate | 02:23 |
|---|
| Pattrick | and I hate to be a bother | 02:23 |
|---|
| trism | racarter: hopefully they will add configuration options in the future | 02:23 |
|---|
| Pattrick | but I can't notice when someone is talkign to me | 02:23 |
|---|
| Pattrick | since I'm not on mIRC | 02:23 |

| madjoe | Dr_Willis: what would you suggest as a replacement to emerald? GTK? | 02:24 |
|---|
| tzanger | I'd like to add the dontzap parameter to xorg.conf, but 9.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf... how does one go about doing this? | 02:24 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: i just use compiz and the gnome window decorations | 02:25 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: if user name is taraduffy: is correct line: apt-get install linux-headers-taraduffy-r ? | 02:25 |

| Nitsuga | Pattrick, go to places, click computer, find your Vista partitoin, double click it and type your passwd | 02:25 |

|---|
| Nitsuga | *partition | 02:25 |
|---|
| hiexpo | i think thgat was pretty clearly spoken in english | 02:25 |
|---|
| Pattrick | My vista partition | 02:25 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: thers only 3 decorators one could use.. and emerald is dieing off.. so that leaves KDE's and the Gnome/gtks decorators | 02:25 |
|---|
| archboxman | Pattrick: yes your vista partition | 02:25 |
|---|
| morphix | emerald dieing off? | 02:25 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | !emerald | 02:26 |
|---|
| morphix | as per what evidence? | 02:26 |
|---|
| 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. | 02:26 |

|---|
| Pattrick | I see 250 GB Hard Disk: Recovery / CD/DVD Drive / Generic Multi-Card / Palm Pre / Filesystem | 02:26 |
|---|
| hiexpo | archboxman, - will you hold my hand lol | 02:26 |
|---|
| morphix | its still used mostly where compiz is used. | 02:26 |
|---|
| richard123 | enkidu: this started after i think I activated tty2 in a terminal | 02:26 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: if I'd like to make my windows transparent (change the opacity), what should I do? | 02:26 |
|---|
| archboxman | Pattrick: my windows xp partition is in there I just don't use xp anymore... | 02:26 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: compiz can do that | 02:26 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | last i checked the Emerald theme repos were down.. i havent tried it lately. Gave up on emerald. | 02:27 |
|---|
| Pattrick | There is no icon in my Computer folder named Vista Partition, though | 02:27 |
|---|
| Pattrick | would it be because I'm on wubi? | 02:27 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | morphix: im not sure that emerald can be used with anything OTHER then compiz. :) | 02:27 |
|---|
| od3n_ | how do you delete stuff from a thumb drive | 02:27 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, ohh you are in wubi | 02:27 |
|---|
| soreau | Dr_Willis: Hint: /msg FusioBot emerald-themes | 02:27 |
|---|
| Pattrick | is that why? | 02:27 |
|---|
| hiexpo | omg | 02:28 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | od3n_: i normally use the file manager, delete - then empty trash | 02:28 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | go to Filesystem -> host | 02:28 |
|---|
| od3n_ | there is a trash folder that never seems to empty | 02:28 |
|---|
| racarter | what is the correct way to install flash on ubuntu? | 02:28 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: too bad.. I just found one cool theme (crystal) with Emerald... I don't want to let it go that easily :) lol | 02:28 |
|---|
| racarter | i don't seem to have it by default | 02:28 |
|---|
| rolsworth | kdenlive crashes a lot | 02:28 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | od3n_: in theory its supposed to ask to empty the trash on unmount | 02:28 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, go to filesystem -> host | 02:28 |
|---|
| funkycat90210 | crap i just did rm -rf ~/.gnote, how do i undo this? | 02:28 |
|---|
| Pattrick | Nitsuga <3 | 02:28 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | funkycat90210, you can't | 02:28 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | racarter: i install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package and it pulls in flash and some fonts and other stuff | 02:28 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | !flash | racarter | 02:28 |
|---|
| ubottu | racarter: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 02:28 |
|---|
| funkycat90210 | Nitsuga, uhg | 02:28 |
|---|
| hiexpo | Dr_Willis, it does | 02:28 |
|---|
| od3n_ | yeah ist not doing that | 02:29 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | The 'clean trash on unmount' is a relatively new feature. :) | 02:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | funkycat90210, next time be careful with the -r flag | 02:29 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | od3n_: wht ubuntu version you using? | 02:29 |
|---|
| od3n_ | 910 | 02:29 |
|---|
| optimad | Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode??? | 02:29 |
|---|
| racarter | i can't wait till flash goes away | 02:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | funkycat90210, I avoid most of my misdelets adding in /etc/bashrc an alias to rm -I (add at the end alias rm=rm -I | 02:29 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | that way it will ask you befor deleting more than 3 files | 02:30 |
|---|
| racarter | if they figure out a format for HTML 5 videos hopefully flash is over... | 02:30 |
|---|
| racarter | maybe? | 02:30 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, in linux there is a magic think called symlinks | 02:30 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | they're like window's shortcuts | 02:30 |
|---|
| richard123 | can anyone help me disable/stop tty2 - I think it is stopping my nvidia graphics card? | 02:30 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | racarter: i thinkright now its a matter of figureing out how to put ADs and other annoyances in html5 videos.. :) | 02:30 |
|---|
| funkycat90210 | Nitsuga, still woulda happened, i thought i was on the right machine | 02:30 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | only that, to any application, it is the destination folder | 02:31 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | racarter: youtube has limited html5 support now :) its in testing | 02:31 |
|---|
| od3n_ | yeah is acting all weird | 02:31 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | richard123, sudo stop tty2 | 02:31 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, with symlinks you can link your Vista MUsic folder to the music folder in your Ubuntu's home | 02:31 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: yes, Compiz has a feature to select certain (all) windows to make them transparent... cool! | 02:31 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: and 10000+ other useless features as well | 02:32 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | Pattrick, and when you go to home -> music you'll se your music | 02:32 |
|---|
| richard123 | nitsuuga: can you help me work out why the nvidia card since then does not work? | 02:32 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: since I'm a brand new n00b at this, I'll just try them all! :) | 02:32 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | richard123, did you install the restricted driver? | 02:32 |
|---|
| optimad | Hey guys, how can i mount my raid 0 harddrives in ubuntu live cd mode??? | 02:33 |
|---|
| richard123 | nitsuga: I am not a techie - please explain? | 02:33 |
|---|
| richard123 | Nitsuga: I did install something. | 02:33 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | richard123, go to System -> administration -> hardware drivers | 02:34 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: hypothetically - if I don't have issues with my setup: Compiz + Emerald, would you advise me to get rid of Emerald anyway? | 02:34 |
|---|
| richard123 | Nitsuga: I follow, will report in a minute. . .thanks | 02:35 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | richard123, is "nvidia" in that list? | 02:35 |
|---|
| git__ | hi | 02:35 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | if it is, just choose the lastest version (I think that 186) and activate it | 02:35 |
|---|
| richard123 | nitsuga: yes, but not activated: I am downloading: it somehow must have got uninstalled! | 02:35 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | richard123, it's not activated by default | 02:36 |
|---|
| git__ | while building a .deb package using command: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot | 02:36 |
|---|
| === anthony is now known as anto9us |
| git__ | how do I recover from a half finish compilation? | 02:36 |
|---|
| richard123 | Nitsuga: I had previously activated it, but then I installed something - I think tty2 - and then the problem started. | 02:36 |
|---|
| flaco_ | hi all..... my cron jobs are not running... my username is in /etc/cron.allow.... I'm missing something? | 02:36 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: if it works.. use what you want. i wouldent spend to much time learning emerald or fighting it. Im not even sure if its in the next release or not | 02:39 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: i perfer the gnome-gtk/metacity window decorations so i dont use emerald - i rarely use compiz | 02:40 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: good point... but what's there to learn? | 02:40 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | madjoe: make your own emerald themes if you want. Ther used to be a feature in emerald where it had a repo of dozens of themes.. but its gone. Now you have to look/make your own | 02:40 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | Emerald is still in the next release. :) it seems. | 02:40 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: yaaay! :) hehe | 02:41 |
|---|
| hiexpo | Dr_Willis, do you like emerald over compiz? | 02:41 |
|---|
| madjoe | Dr_Willis: ok, but other than making my own theme.. there shouldn't be anything else that should force me to uninstall emerald.. the main reason is I won't be able to use it in Ubuntu 9.30, let's say... :) isn't it? | 02:42 |
|---|
| olabaz | hey, I made a hello world program in cpp and I have the compiled file, how do I run it from the terminal? | 02:43 |
|---|
| Nitsuga | madoje, The year donesn't have 30 months :P | 02:43 |
|---|
| hiexpo | lol | 02:44 |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | hiexpo: emerald works WITH compiz. its not one or the other. | 02:44 |
|---|
| madjoe | Nitsuga: it does on MY planet! :) | 02:44 |
|---|
| madjoe | lol | 02:44 |

|---|
| Ken222 | hey guys.. I'm having an issue with installing Ubuntu on my macbook .. the disc freezes and just stops running/spinning as soon as I press an option | 02:45 |

Right now, and if this is wrong, forgive my ignorance, but it is hiding a little bit from the internet due to my router. I have it open to vnc, smb, CUPS, ssh, there's a daap share, and MPD is on there. Is there anything I should do or should watch out for in order to make sure my computer is secure? | 03:06 |

| maxxist | I need a quick hand. is there a terminal command I can use to redetect a network card under ubuntu server? I just moved a VM under virtualbox from one machine to another. the settings are the same for the network device under virtualbox. but the ubuntu server vm wont detect the device. | 03:50 |
|---|
| cruncher | i'm on an eee pc 1000he using a wlan connection and I'm finding download speeds to be very slow and inconsistent. I have a feeling that its caused by inadequate drivers but im not sure. does anyone have any insight? | 03:50 |
|---|
| blakkheim | cruncher: try madwifi instead of ath5k/ath9k | 03:51 |
|---|
| scunizi | maxxist: what's the host system.. in the ubuntu server vm you could try ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 .. if eth0 is the name of the card in the vm. | 03:51 |
|---|
| scunizi | maxxist: also sudo service networking restart | 03:52 |

| racarter | gah! I can't change my pointer | 03:52 |
|---|
| maxxist | scunizi, i have tried a /etc/init.d/network restart it gives me a no such device error. | 03:52 |
|---|
| racarter | in gnome I went into Appearances but the pointer stays the same... | 03:52 |
|---|
| esteban | q | 03:52 |
|---|
| scunizi | maxxist: yes.. that would have been on 8.10.. try that last command I gave you | 03:53 |
|---|
| racarter | can anyone help me with this strange problem? | 03:53 |
|---|
| Berto | hi - If I'm in display 0, how can i open a command to display 1? | 03:53 |

| sslaccessrocks | anyone know why atheros drivers are not supported in ubuntu server 9.04/9.10 but supported in ubuntu 9.04/9.10 or which package to install in ubuntu server 9.10 to get atheros working? | 03:53 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | racarter, in order for the pointer change to take effect I have to disable Compiz and just use Metacity | 03:54 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: because most servers don't use wifi.. | 03:54 |
|---|
| * xfact !Gratitude: When you are having appropriate answer of your questions, then do not forget to thank the answerer :) | 03:54 |
| maxxist | scunizi, same error. "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device" | 03:54 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | blankkheim: which package do I install to get it working? | 03:54 |
|---|
| scunizi | sslaccessrocks: wireless drivers are typically installed in server.. however I think if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras you'll have the atheros drivers.. | 03:54 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: it's a kernel module, the server edition is tuned for server use, thats why they aren't there | 03:54 |
|---|
| racarter | ZykoticK9... i will die without compiz | 03:54 |
|---|
| racarter | literally I will drop dead | 03:55 |
|---|
| blakkheim | scunizi: URE has nothing to do with it | 03:55 |
|---|
| racarter | ZykoticK9, do you mean disable it and then reenable it? | 03:55 |
|---|
| maxxist | scunizi, i have double checked the settings for the VM under virtualbox. everything is identical under both systems. | 03:55 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: you will have to compile and manually load the module | 03:55 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | scunizi: the server does not have internet, can i download an ubuntu-alternate of the same version and use that in the sources.list to download a package --which package? | 03:55 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | racarter, once i re-enable compiz - pointer change disappears | 03:55 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: it's not a package | 03:55 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | blakkheim: can i use an ubuntu-alternate to download the new kernel then? | 03:56 |
|---|
| scunizi | blakkheim: do the question remains .. what package to install for wireless on server.. despite that it isn't typically done. | 03:56 |
|---|
| blakkheim | scunizi: i just answered that | 03:56 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: you might as well just install the regular edition instead of server if you're going to replace the kernel | 03:56 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | blakkheim: can't do that, not enough min specs on hardware | 03:57 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | racarter, don't see anything in ccsm about pointer theme? sorry man, best of luck. | 03:57 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: the mini iso then? | 03:57 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | blakkheim: no internet if it doesn't have drivers? | 03:57 |
|---|
| blakkheim | sslaccessrocks: you can't wire it just for the installation? | 03:57 |

| blakkheim | cruncher & sslaccessrocks: i don't have any doc links for it | 03:59 |
|---|
| albech | bugaloo, there is some vaio kernel module that should enable them, but sony isnt very informative about their hardware, so writing stuff for it seems to be a pain | 03:59 |
|---|
| bugaloo | just a few keys doesn't, but on vaio nothing works, not even sound volume | 03:59 |
|---|
| bugaloo | albech, i see | 03:59 |
|---|
| scunizi | sslaccessrocks: I find that linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-server is what you need.. replace the module number with the current kernel or search apt-get, aptitude etc.. for it.. I found the info here.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764025 .. check out packages.ubuntu.com from another machine to download | 03:59 |

| sslaccessrocks | scunizi: things like that (linux-restricted-modules-server package) is why i use ubuntu :) thanks i'll give that a shot first | 04:01 |

|---|
| darolu | ZykoticK9: thanks, I'll try it. | 04:19 |
|---|
| scunizi | darolu: xrandr will dynamically generate the appropriate settings.. the biggest question is weather or not ATI has depreciated your card in their latest drivers that are compatible with the latest X.org.. check their site first before you spinn your wheels.. look for the driver and if they mention an older driver to use they will typically say it's not compatible with the current Xorg | 04:19 |
|---|
| darolu | scunizi: already checked, my card is no longer supported in Linux, the "legacy driver" doesn't work with my current kernel (2.6.31) | 04:20 |
|---|
| scunizi | darolu: then you're stuck.. time to get a new card that is compatible or wait for the ATI drivers to catch up | 04:20 |

| scunizi | leohartx: boot into the recovery kernel and you'll see a menu. there's an option to reset the video defaults.. or rediscover | 04:42 |

| dsnyders | ZykoticK9, I found out why they changed the xserver restart keyboard shortcut. | 04:45 |
|---|
| === ring1 is now known as ring0 |
| dsnyders | If you have the handicapped accessibility functions active and you press Ctrl and then release it, and a bit later, you press Alt-Bksp (the shortcut to delete a whole word), then Boom! Bye-bye X-session | 04:46 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | dsnyders, makes sense. Thanks for the info :) | 04:47 |
|---|
| dsnyders | ZykoticK9, Yeah, it does make sense. Now, to memorize the new shortcut. Alt-sysreq-k, Alt-sysreq-k, Alt-sysreq-k... | 04:49 |
|---|
| leohartx | scunizi: there's no menu item you mentioned | 04:49 |

| jumbers | If I backup /, will dropping that onto a freshly formatted partition then function exactly as if it weren't touched? | 04:51 |
|---|
| alankila | jumbers: pretty much, provided you can whip up bootloader for it too | 04:51 |
|---|
| dsnyders | jumbers, It should, if you mount the new partition as / | 04:51 |

| i3inary | can someone help me figure out how to move an ubuntu 9.10 installation to a virtual machine? basically it would be like restoring a configuration to new hardware. can someone help point me in the right direction? | 04:58 |
|---|
| HeadCreeps | the right direction would be south of my pants button | 04:59 |
|---|
| i3inary | you have a button on your foot? | 04:59 |
|---|
| INarsty | lol | 05:00 |
|---|
| i3inary | could you press it and restore my backup for me then...? | 05:00 |
|---|
| HeadCreeps | do you get it, because you decided that you couldnt say anything funny in return, you would take it to the most dramatic extreme and say my foot. | 05:00 |

| ZykoticK9 | HeadCreeps, do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 05:01 |
|---|
| HeadCreeps | yes Redman | 05:01 |

| HeadCreeps | I do | 05:01 |
|---|
| === guest0834987764 is now known as ssmit |
| HeadCreeps | no its a tad bigger than a button | 05:01 |
|---|
| B|aSS | <HeadCreeps> the right direction would be south of my pants button | 05:02 |
|---|
| i3inary | so is this the place for dick and fart jokes? | 05:02 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: install Ubuntu on VM, then extract the backup there. | 05:02 |
|---|
| HeadCreeps | do you feel e-portant because your name is in red, just wondering | 05:02 |
|---|
| B|aSS | <HeadCreeps> when I OBVIOUSLY meant, my penis. | 05:02 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | i3inary, NO! | 05:02 |
|---|
| mrb427 | for embedded applications is it better to use static or dynamic variables | 05:02 |
|---|
| i3inary | ZykoticK9, thank you just wondering. | 05:02 |
|---|
| gabriel | joining | 05:02 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, ok i have the vm set up with ubuntu now...so i can just "sudo cp -R /backup/* /" and im done? | 05:03 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: i would suggest doing that in single user mode. | 05:04 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: yes that would be it, if its a complete backup. | 05:04 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: | 05:04 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: use sudo cp -ax /backup/* / | 05:04 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, so i dont have to worry about excluding any files that would mess up the drivers on the new installation? | 05:05 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: new installation would be pretty much overwriten with your backup. | 05:05 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: but that is what you want? And by the way what drivers do you use on VM? | 05:06 |
|---|
| === zach is now known as Guest7428 |
| Guest7428 | zac | 05:06 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, right i understand that the new install is getting overwritten...im just wondering how it will boot if it gets a bunch of incompatible drivers in its configuration files | 05:07 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: your new install is Virtual Machine? | 05:07 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, correct but it has drivers they are just for simulated hardware no? | 05:08 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: from my experience (VMWare) you have now worries about drivers when it comes to virtual machine. | 05:08 |
|---|
| chetnick | no worries* | 05:08 |
|---|
| chetnick | so you should be fine. | 05:09 |
|---|
| aah | anyone know of a way to get vino to give me logs of connection attempts and issues? trying to diagnose a problem getting from home to work over vpn, and .. connection is established, but no windows locally | 05:09 |
|---|
| gabriel | just a ? can i use linksys external WUSB54GSC with ubuntu 9.10? | 05:09 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, alright. ok so you are saying if i boot a linux install and the configuration files are not compatible with the hardware it will just not use them? | 05:09 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: what i'm saying is VM does not have hardware, drivers used in Ubuntu cannot be used on virtual machine. | 05:10 |
|---|
| chetnick | VM takes care of that. It's a virtual hardware only existent in VM | 05:11 |

| tristanbob | Anyone seeing 100% CPU when flash video playing? I've searched the forums but only found old results. This happens on firefox, chromium, and opera. | 05:12 |
|---|
| lane_ | so ive got a question....is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys?? | 05:12 |
|---|
| bmatthew | tristanbob: get used to it | 05:12 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | I can't login to kubuntu! Every time it kicks me back to the login screen :( | 05:12 |
|---|
| chetnick | tristanbob: not a good sign, i dont have that issue. | 05:12 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ;@ | 05:12 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | This was after my first update | 05:12 |
|---|
| tristanbob | bmatthew, this has only started in the past month for me. | 05:12 |
|---|
| bmatthew | tristanbob: oh, well that's something else then. i just was going to mention that flash is an absolute piece of shit | 05:13 |
|---|
| chetnick | RPG_Master: i had that issue with kdm 4.3, i resolved it by installing gdm, and using that to login. | 05:13 |
|---|
| tristanbob | chetnick, thanks for the feedback. | 05:13 |
|---|
| tristanbob | bmatthew, I wanted to find out if it is a known bug, with a solution. | 05:13 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | chetnick: :P That could work. | 05:13 |
|---|
| i3inary | chetnick, ok im giving it a try ill just revert to the snapshot if it doesnt work...which is the main reason i am moving the physical box to the virtual machine in the first place | 05:13 |
|---|
| chetnick | RPG_Master: this issue was on gentoo, and i had kde and gentoo installed on system. | 05:13 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | chetnick: Any other solutions? | 05:13 |
|---|
| klappi | RPG_Master: i also had to install gdm | 05:13 |
|---|
| lane_ | is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys?? anyone at all? | 05:14 |
|---|
| chetnick | i3inary: you can always come back to most recent snapshot, but i'm 99% sure you'll be fine. | 05:14 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | How old is this bug? | 05:14 |
|---|
| bmatthew | lane_: ive done it before | 05:14 |
|---|
| lane_ | well see heres my problem, my g and h buttons dont work on my laptop | 05:15 |
|---|
| chetnick | RPG_Master: i'm not using KDE, so i cant really help you any further with this issue. You might want to ask somewhere where people are actually using KDE, maybe #KDE, you can always get some good help on #Gentoo as well. | 05:15 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | chetnick: Thanks, I'll check out #KDE :) | 05:16 |
|---|
| chetnick | anytime | 05:16 |
|---|
| klappi | RPG_Master: i think aprox 2 month | 05:16 |
|---|
| klappi | RPG_Master: but i didnt try to change back i like gdm | 05:16 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | klappi: OK, needs to be fix though :( | 05:16 |

|---|
| GungaDin | hi | 05:16 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | RPG_Master, you might want to try #kubuntu prior to #kde | 05:17 |
|---|
| GungaDin | Does Ubuntu come with SElinux? | 05:17 |
|---|
| lane_ | with windows i just used a program called autohotkey but i cannnot find an equivelant, with that i wrote a script making shift 6 and 7 being g and \h | 05:17 |
|---|
| klappi | RPG_Master: ubuntu is optimized for gdm anyways it starts earlier in the boot process | 05:17 |
|---|
| chetnick | GungaDin: I dont think so. | 05:17 |
|---|
| [deXter] | RPG_Master: boot into runlevel 3 and do a repo refresh followed by an update | 05:17 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | klappi: Even if you're using Kubuntu? | 05:17 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | [deXter]: Wo, wait, what do I do now? | 05:18 |
|---|
| klappi | RPG_Master: kdm starts at the very end and gdm earlier, yes | 05:18 |

|---|
| lane_ | lol same question, my guy who was gonna help me just left. is anyone good here with creating hotkeys/remapping keys?? | 05:20 |
|---|
| [deXter] | git__: Because ReiserFS is as dead as Nina Reiser? | 05:20 |

| ZykoticK9 | !runlevels > RPG_Master | 05:20 |
|---|
| ubottu | RPG_Master, please see my private message | 05:20 |
|---|
| mezquitale | git__, you can use reiserfs if you want | 05:20 |
|---|
| git__ | reiserfs is so much more stable than ext4 many times OVER | 05:20 |
|---|
| klappi | [deXter]: mean | 05:20 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | RPG_Master, from ubottu's message you can see runlevel 3 isn't going to help you | 05:20 |
|---|
| git__ | i've committed over 250GB on ext4, it crashes on me every 2 or 3 days so far | 05:21 |
|---|
| lane_ | nobody...? | 05:21 |
|---|
| mezquitale | git__, if you want you can reinstall and format your hard drive with reiserfs | 05:21 |
|---|
| chetnick | git__: swithc to ext3 | 05:21 |
|---|
| mezquitale | git__, i | 05:21 |
|---|
| RPG_Master | ZykoticK9: Good ol' ubottu :P | 05:22 |
|---|
| jazz | ? is this working? | 05:22 |
|---|
| mezquitale | git__, you can also try ext3 or reformat your hard drive to reiserfs | 05:22 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | lane_, can you set them using System / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts ? | 05:22 |
|---|
| rww | jazz: yep! | 05:22 |
|---|
| jazz | thanks rww, trying to sus out connection problem here | 05:23 |
|---|
| chetnick | git__: yeah, i heard people having issues with ext4 ... that is why its not recomended for production env. | 05:23 |
|---|
| lane_ | zykotick9: well i tried, but my goal here is to make shift 6 and 7 be g and h | 05:23 |
|---|
| lane_ | and so far im unsuccessful | 05:24 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | lane_, won't that mess up ^ and & ? | 05:24 |
|---|
| chetnick | i still stick to 9.04, i installed 9.10 on laptop, and i am not happy at all. 9.04 over 8.10 was way big progress than 9.10 over 9.04. If there were progress at all, maybe it was more of a regress. | 05:25 |
|---|
| lane_ | yeah thats wat im hoping, ghave you ever heard of autohotkey | 05:25 |
|---|
| transom324 | finally got mplayer & vlc to play DVDs. thx | 05:25 |

| Fudge | think my lan connection is realtech, what would the device be called on ubuntu, on olso it was rge0. i cant check ifconfig because i have no sound and can not use orca. i am blind. so need ssh to fix sound | 05:26 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | lane_, sorry man I've never tried to re-map "actual" keys before, just multimedia/special keys -- best of luck | 05:27 |
|---|
| ardchoille | infid: chaging files in /usr/share without the need for sudo can make a user lax and not think about possibly trashing something. Requiring sudo makes the user think before editing | 05:27 |
|---|
| lane_ | alright well thanks anyways | 05:27 |
|---|
| ardchoille | infid: and you don't want just anyone changing things in there because those files are system-wide | 05:27 |
|---|
| jazz | does any one have an icon or know if i can even use a "%" for net status instead of these at&T looking bars? | 05:28 |
|---|
| git__ | chetnick, i was happy with 8.04 ... 9.10 seems to crash more often for me | 05:29 |

|---|

|---|
| git__ | 10.04 = 2010, april | 05:29 |

| ardchoille | infid: well, that might be ok, but just remember you're changing system-wide files | 05:29 |
|---|
| jazz | i see two bars but when i hover over it it's either 37% or 48% still anythoing under 51% dont help me | 05:30 |

| jngdwe | unles you mean the open source drivers | 05:42 |
|---|
| [deXter] | HazRPG: Dia is pretty good | 05:42 |

|---|
| sslaccessrocks | kesherwani: you might want to try to login to grub using an older kernel (not the top default option); if you get in, try system -> admin -> gparted to repartition your swap (what is the device in question, swap or your OS partition)? | 05:43 |
|---|
| [deXter] | git__: Yea | 05:43 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: I've got Dia, it's a pretty good all-round diagram tool. I just want something that I can enter data into and it'll automatically fill the lines for the structure | 05:43 |
|---|
| dsnyders | kesherwani, check your /etc/fstab | 05:43 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: but if there's nothing better, then I'll just stick with that | 05:44 |
|---|
| dsnyders | I really hate that there is no way of getting a list of directories. | 05:44 |

| needshelp | jng the website I sent you has a step by step way to do just that. | 05:45 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: you mean other than ls? | 05:45 |
|---|
| dsnyders | ls lists files. It doesn't list directories. | 05:45 |
|---|
| HazRPG | ls -all | 05:45 |
|---|
| jngdwe | I don't need a tutorial on how to install it. The driver installs fine in multiple methods | 05:45 |

| hamnegga | Is it possible to use an md5sum as a universal type of bit code to generate an iso without downloading the actual file - for instance the md5 would be an instruction set so that if you used that, it would automaticaly create the same image? | 05:45 |
|---|
| [deXter] | HazRPG: You can dry the Draw program in the OpenOffice suite or Kivio, although I've used neither.. | 05:45 |
|---|
| jngdwe | did the site include a fix for the black screen at boot? | 05:45 |
|---|
| jngdwe | As in right after the ubuntu loading screen | 05:45 |
|---|
| dsnyders | HazRPG, No. Only directories. Like dir /a:d in DOS | 05:45 |
|---|
| needshelp | jng yes. it tells you to hold down alt and some other key and hit a series of keys | 05:46 |
|---|
| jngdwe | Believe me, i | 05:46 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | hamnegga, no -- md5 sums are tiny | 05:46 |
|---|
| jngdwe | Believe me ive tried* | 05:46 |
|---|
| needshelp | 3. Just in case Write down or remember this series of Alt+PrntScr key combinations, just in case your screen should go black and Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work. Alt+PrntScr+r, Alt+PrntScr+s, Alt+PrntScr+e, Alt+PrntScr+i, Alt+PrntScr+n, Alt+PrntScr+u, Alt+PrntScr+b These keypresses will reboot the system safely. To remember the keypresses, remember this nonsensical phrase: "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Never Utterly B | 05:46 |
|---|
| jngdwe | wait, prntScr? | 05:47 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: ls --help | 05:47 |
|---|
| chetnick | WTF? | 05:47 |
|---|
| hamnegga | well, I don't see why something similar could be used, since it's all binary in the end and use some type of encryption and key. | 05:47 |
|---|
| jngdwe | Can you tell me in general what they do? | 05:47 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: if you use ls -d, it shows directorys | 05:47 |
|---|
| jngdwe | Ive been with Ubuntu for a few years, but i dont know a whole lot in terms of key presses | 05:48 |
|---|
| rww | hamnegga: no. There are lots (I think infinite) of different files that map to the same MD5 hash. The whole concept of hashing a file involves ending up with something that has less information than the original file, so you can't go backwards. | 05:48 |
|---|
| dsnyders | HazRPG, No, it doesn't. It lists the files in the directories. | 05:48 |
|---|
| c_nick | Hi does anyone know of the IRC Room of google chrome browser | 05:48 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | dsnyders, ls -- shows both files & directories, not sure why you think it doesn't | 05:49 |
|---|
| dsnyders | ZykoticK9, Exactly, it shows both. I want only the directories. | 05:49 |

|---|
| kesherwani | sslaccessrocks : its saying check root =bootarg cat /proc/cmdline or missing modules , devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev | 05:51 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: Draw program did you say earlier? or Kivio? | 05:51 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: might try those, thanks | 05:51 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | dsnyders, "ls -d */" should work | 05:52 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/10/19/list-only-the-directories/ | 05:52 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: it shows you how to list only directories using ls | 05:53 |
|---|
| jozey | elloowwwwwww | 05:54 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | HazRPG, did you try ls -l | grep “^d” -- on my system that didn't work | 05:54 |
|---|
| HazRPG | did you copy and paste it? | 05:56 |
|---|
| HazRPG | because it's using a different type of quotation mark then the one printable from the keyboard | 05:56 |
|---|
| HazRPG | type it manually | 05:56 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | anom01y, if you want TV Out i'd go with Nvidia (mind you I'd always go for Nvidia) | 05:56 |
|---|
| anom01y | yeah thats what Im using now | 05:57 |
|---|
| anom01y | ZykoticK9, only problem is that the stupid card has no heat sink | 05:57 |
|---|
| HazRPG | ZykoticK9: try typing it in manually, because copying and pasting it won't work: ls -l | grep "^d" | 05:57 |
|---|
| anom01y | well it does but it has no fan | 05:57 |
|---|
| dsnyders | HazRPG, Read the page you linked to and you'll see all the hoops you need to jump through just to get a simple list of directories. | 05:57 |
|---|
| HazRPG | ZykoticK9: if you copy and paste that, it'll work | 05:57 |
|---|

|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: make a bash script to make it easier if you must | 05:58 |
|---|
| rolsworth | in windows when playing HD flash I use about 1% cpu but in Ubuntu it uses over 50%. doesn't gpu acceleration work? | 05:58 |
|---|
| HazRPG | dsnyders: although I never have a problem using ls by itself, it still lists all the directories, granted along with all the files too, but it still gets the job done | 05:59 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | HazRPG, still think the "ls -d */" is much prettier without the long stuff there | 05:59 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | whats the best compression, like .7z? I need like really good compression, i dont care how long it takes to compress really | 06:00 |

| [deXter] | rolsworth: Did you install the restricted graphic card drivers? | 06:00 |
|---|
| rolsworth | yep | 06:00 |
|---|
| rolsworth | made nop difference | 06:01 |
|---|
| rolsworth | doesn't seem to have gpu acceleration | 06:01 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | rolsworth, i believe only Nvidia+vdpau give video acceleration - and i don't think it working in any browsers (might be wrong) | 06:01 |
|---|
| rolsworth | on windows it works | 06:02 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | rolsworth, then i guess windows is better... lol | 06:02 |
|---|
| HazRPG | rolsworth: tried messing with the settings in the NVIDIA X Server Settings application? | 06:02 |
|---|
| [deXter] | Anyways, it's high time we ditch Flash. | 06:03 |

| rolsworth | no | 06:03 |

|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: lol for what? | 06:03 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: what would you replace it with? | 06:03 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | html5! | 06:03 |
|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: although I kind of agree, we do need to have a similar open-source version of flash | 06:03 |
|---|
| rolsworth | flash isn't going any where any time soon | 06:03 |

|---|
| HazRPG | [deXter]: but other than that... | 06:06 |
|---|
| [deXter] | HazRPG: CSS. | 06:10 |
|---|
| rolsworth | the html5 on youtube much slower than flash | 06:11 |

|---|
| _deXter_ | rolsworth: It's just in a testing phase, besides it depends on a lot of factors like the browser you're using.. | 06:11 |

| Brian2898 | Do Dell Ubuntu laptops work when you upgrade to 9.10? | 06:13 |
|---|
| Brian2898 | As in the proprietary drivers | 06:14 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | Brian2898: which driver failed for you? most should transition quietly | 06:14 |
|---|
| Brian2898 | None have failed, I am thinking about buying dell ubuntu laptop, but I see they are imaged with old version of ubuntu | 06:15 |
|---|
| rolsworth | why would you buy an ubuntu laptop | 06:15 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | Brian2898: Dell sells laptops with ubuntu on them, i would look at those for those should easily allow upgrades | 06:15 |
|---|
| rolsworth | not like there is a price difference | 06:15 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | rolsworth: yeah, that bothered me, that they didn't reduce the cost of windows in ubuntu laptops | 06:16 |
|---|
| rolsworth | waste of money | 06:16 |
|---|
| rolsworth | better to get that windows license. you might need it one day | 06:16 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | they still charge users the price of windows on their laptops and give them ubuntu | 06:16 |
|---|
| Brian2898 | They do reduce the cost of the laptop... | 06:16 |
|---|
| rolsworth | nope the price is basically the same | 06:17 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | Brian2898: must be a change, last i checked their desktops (which they don't sell with ubuntu) didn't have a cost reduction | 06:17 |

| gsgleason | torasuku: do you have desktop effects enabled? | 06:22 |
|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, yes. | 06:22 |
|---|
| [1]spike | if i want to open a file called sources.list from linux CLI what command do i use? im in the directory | 06:22 |
|---|
| gsgleason | torasuku: install compizconfig-settings-manager and use if to customize everything. it must be in there somewhere. | 06:23 |
|---|
| gsgleason | torasuku: I don't know for a fact, but I would think it would be there if anywhere. | 06:23 |
|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, I have it installed, I've been looking through it and I don't see it. I remember seeing some gconf command on shiki-colors old Gnome-Look page, but it's not there anymore :\ | 06:23 |
|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, it's something with Metacity, rather than Compiz, if I remember correctly. | 06:23 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | spike: sudo nano sources.list | 06:24 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | then ctrl+o to save and ctrl+x to close without saving | 06:24 |
|---|
| gsgleason | torasuku: if you disable desktop effects, does it still fade? | 06:24 |
|---|
| neil_d | what does the /boot/xen-3.3 binary do? | 06:24 |
|---|
| gsgleason | spike, use any text editor. there are many for terminal use. I like vim which is vi plus more features. a lot like emacs and some nano. | 06:25 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | spike: be sure to backup your sources.list first (sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup | 06:25 |
|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, no, it doesn't fade then. | 06:25 |
|---|
| [1]spike | thanks but i already broke it lol | 06:26 |
|---|
| [1]spike | sources.list didnt like me typing edit sources.list | 06:26 |
|---|
| gsgleason | neil, what package does it belong to? apt-file search filename | 06:26 |

| gsgleason | man edit | 06:26 |

|---|
| sslaccessrocks | neptunepink: maybe try http://packages.ubuntu.com | 06:27 |
|---|
| [1]spike | but it was after i tried my msdos command | 06:27 |
|---|
| gsgleason | [1]spike: that is a swap file usually. | 06:27 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | neptunepink: or you could "apt-cache search libncursesw" in terminal | 06:27 |
|---|
| [1]spike | ok ill copy the sources.list from my fresh VM | 06:27 |

| Mixxit | i am having some problems where my 3g dongle internet is really slow and my network adapter also wont pick up an ip address | 06:27 |

| sslaccessrocks | mixxit: its a temporary solution i know, haven't experienced 3g yet | 06:28 |
|---|
| Mixxit | that's for my network card problem right not my 3g problem? | 06:28 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | Im trying to Dual boot win7 and ubuntu, installed win first and then ubuntu, same disk different partitions. Shouldnt GRUB overwrite the windows bootloader? | 06:28 |
|---|
| Mixxit | my 3g problem looks like its at gprs or something | 06:29 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | mixxit: it works on any network card, it renews the ip address | 06:29 |
|---|
| Mixxit | its really really slow | 06:29 |
|---|
| Mixxit | like 1997 | 06:29 |
|---|
| coldfire2122 | the_jackdaw yes | 06:29 |
|---|
| Mixxit | i get an ip for my 3g just not my lan | 06:29 |
|---|
| Mixxit | but i will give that a go thanks | 06:29 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | Then why does it not do that, GRUB does not start at all, windows starts instead | 06:29 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | mixxit: that should renew the ip for both connections | 06:29 |
|---|
| gsgleason | torasuku: wouldnt' that mean it's something with compiz then? | 06:30 |
|---|
| mlemos | can anybody tell me if Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64 image work as 64 bit in a machine with Intel Core 2 Duo? | 06:30 |
|---|
| Mixxit | ok | 06:30 |
|---|
| Mixxit | what about the 3g connection speed? | 06:30 |
|---|
| gsgleason | the_jackdaw: it will if you tell it do install a boot loader. when it does, it offers a choice as to the device. | 06:30 |
|---|
| coldfire2122 | the_jackdaw: it should automatically replace the windows bootloader when you install it. | 06:30 |
|---|
| commander_ | is sunbird equivalent to Google Calendar? | 06:30 |

|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, I suppose, I just seem to recall the old "gconf" line that I saw had to do with metacity :\ | 06:30 |
|---|
| gsgleason | mlemos: yes. | 06:31 |
|---|
| gsgleason | commander_: no | 06:31 |
|---|
| gsgleason | torasuku: gconf-editor | 06:31 |
|---|
| commander_ | oh ok.it's just a stand alone | 06:31 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | mixxit: i don't know much about 3g from experience, maybe try increasing your signal strength by repositioning? | 06:31 |
|---|
| gsgleason | look in apps->metacity perhaps | 06:31 |
|---|
| Mixxit | ah no it connects at 3.2mb a sec on windows its just something that seems to be happening in ubuntu | 06:31 |
|---|
| torasuku | gsgleason, it was a whole line that you put into the terminal and it turned the opacity changing behaviour off. | 06:32 |
|---|
| mlemos | gsgleason, thanks. Installing now! ;-) | 06:32 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | gsgleason: Yea i saw that, but it still didnt work, have tried with 2 different distros, no grub when windows is installed. | 06:32 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | mixxit: you could always try the bleeding edge 10.04, but i of course cannot recommend that for a stable operating system | 06:32 |

| _deXter_ | seanbrystone: .7z then | 06:36 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | how? | 06:36 |
|---|
| Mixxit | thanks | 06:36 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | whats the package to download for .7z? | 06:36 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | p7zip | 06:36 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | ok thx guys | 06:36 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | seanbrystone: or peazip for a better GUI | 06:37 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | I normally just bzip with tar :p | 06:37 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | cant find peazip | 06:37 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | PinkFloyd, how would i do bzip with tar? | 06:37 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | seanbrystone: you might have to google it and download it (its easier for beginners that use GUIs) | 06:38 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | tar cvjf directory tarball.tar.bz2 | 06:38 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | on command line | 06:39 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | PinkFloyd: wow, didn't know you could bz2 from the program tar :) | 06:39 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | ofc :p | 06:39 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | PinkFloyd: always used bunzip | 06:39 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | The j switch specifies bz2 | 06:39 |
|---|
| Quoexl | could someone walk me through rsyncing a windows share on a ubuntu box? | 06:40 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | change the c switch to an x switch and it'll decompress it :p | 06:40 |
|---|
| ardchoille | PinkFloyd: isn't it "tar cvjf tarball.tar.bz2 directory" ? | 06:40 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | !rsync | Quoexl | 06:40 |
|---|
| ubottu | Quoexl: rsync is a fast remote file copy and synchronization program - For more see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync | 06:40 |
|---|
| PinkFloyd | It's been a while since I used it ardchoille, so possibly | 06:40 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ardchoille: yes | 06:40 |
|---|
| ardchoille | ah, ok | 06:40 |
|---|
| Quoexl | I get that but I dont understand the stuff on that site | 06:41 |
|---|
| Quoexl | mainly I want to put it in a cron | 06:41 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | rsync service running on windows ? or ssh? | 06:41 |
|---|
| Quoexl | rsync running on the linux box windows using a share, smbmounting it | 06:42 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you need a way for rsync to access windows | 06:42 |
|---|
| gregg | I've got some samba cifs mount problems at boot, and at shutdown as well - any takers? :) | 06:42 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | either ssh or rsync protocol itself | 06:42 |
|---|
| Quoexl | no I got the drive smbmounted | 06:42 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ok so you want to rsync the mount to to something local? | 06:43 |
|---|
| Quoexl | to /home/quoexl/windows | 06:43 |
|---|
| Quoexl | no I want it to do rsync -r /home/quoexl/windows /backup/windows in a cron | 06:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | exactly | 06:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you want sync the mount to something local | 06:44 |
|---|
| Quoexl | here is the script I have so far | 06:44 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | use that line in cron... i dont see an issue with it... | 06:44 |
|---|
| === administrator is now known as Guest76628 |
| Quoexl | will the smbmount work in there too? | 06:44 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | why not? given the network is up and mount is persistent ,, and mounted... | 06:44 |
|---|
| Quoexl | woot, thanks | 06:45 |
|---|
| gregg | I've got a bunch of samba shares in fstab - only SOME of them actually mount at startup, but a sudo mount -a works no probs - i connect via wireless | 06:45 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, what kind of problems? | 06:45 |
|---|
| gregg | that's the startup problem | 06:45 |
|---|
| gregg | we'll take the shutdown problem after ;) | 06:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: are all the shares on the same boxes? | 06:45 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, ubuntu version? | 06:45 |
|---|
| gregg | yep | 06:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | hmm | 06:45 |
|---|
| gregg | h0rnman: kubuntu karmic | 06:45 |
|---|
| Quoexl | you could write an init.d script that smbmounts those | 06:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | why? | 06:46 |
|---|
| gregg | i just don't understand why SOME mount no prob | 06:46 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, I'm wrestling with this one too | 06:46 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | maybe mount options? | 06:46 |
|---|
| Quoexl | sheist occurs? | 06:46 |
|---|
| gregg | my line in fstab: //192.168.1.100/films\040test /home/gregg/Videos/filmstest smbfs credentials=/home/gregg/.smbcredentials,uid=1000 | 06:46 |
|---|
| Guest76628 | i cant setteing desktop | 06:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Greyhound-: | 06:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | that credentials line... | 06:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i believe is buggy | 06:47 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | can i reinstall GRUB somehow? | 06:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i tried using it for a client,, and use a hidden file like so.... | 06:47 |
|---|
| gregg | hmm ok - workaround? | 06:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | didn't work,, til i specified user,password way | 06:47 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, try \\192.168.1.100\films\ test /home/gregg/VIdeos/filmtest cifs credentials.....blah blah | 06:47 |
|---|
| Quoexl | what is grub doing to you jack? | 06:47 |
|---|
| h0rnman | smbfs is old, buggy, and going away at some point AFAIK | 06:48 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | that was on red hat though,, but that was my work around,,, | 06:48 |
|---|
| gregg | ok i'll try the cifs thing we'll see if that works | 06:48 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | instead of the creds file,, i had to specify explicitly in the fstab user=,password.... | 06:48 |
|---|
| gregg | now the shutdown problem ;o) | 06:48 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | heh k... | 06:48 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | Quoexl, it is not starting, im trying to dualboot with win7.. and when i installed ubuntu and restarted,, grub did not start, just went into windows | 06:48 |
|---|
| h0rnman | remove the uid section at the end as well | 06:48 |
|---|
| gregg | I hang at shutdown - CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 blabla | 06:48 |
|---|
| Guest76628 | i cant mirror my desk top then it's icon is very large please tell me how to slove this problem | 06:48 |
|---|
| Quoexl | sorry, outta my league | 06:49 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | :P | 06:49 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | i tried, tar cvjf tarball.tar.bz2 filenamegoeshere no luck | 06:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg sounds like you possibly have a network issue? | 06:49 |
|---|
| Quoexl | are you on 2 drives? did it write to the wrong mbr? | 06:49 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | seanbrystone: i would stick with peazip then after installing 7zip | 06:50 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | well, i have tried both with 2 disks,, and 1 disk 2 partitions | 06:50 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: from what I can read in the forums it's a "normal" problem - there are about 50000 ways to fix it though | 06:50 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | possibly options in samba.conf | 06:50 |
|---|
| the_jackdaw | usually ubuntu should overwrite the windows bootloader | 06:50 |
|---|
| seanbrystone | sslaccessrocks, yeah im using Nautilus , but was kinda hoping to do it CLI way :D | 06:51 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | anyone know how to use apturl? | 06:51 |
|---|
| archboxman | well figured out what they did to fix all those wifi card issues with Atheros wifi cards.. changed the module to ath9k from ath5k it was a backport driver | 06:51 |
|---|
| Guest76628 | helloow i cant understand what's your tallking | 06:51 |
|---|
| Mixxit | xD | 06:52 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, try: ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc.0/K14umountnfs.sh <-- I think this is correct syntax :) | 06:52 |
|---|
| gregg | ok - thanks h0rnman | 06:52 |
|---|
| h0rnman | np...also add it to /etc/rc.6/ | 06:52 |
|---|
| h0rnman | so you catch reboot | 06:53 |
|---|
| gregg | h0rnman: no such file or directory | 06:53 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | i am trying to download adobe flash through apturl (10.01) (i know ubuntu+1 exists), anyone know how to work apturl? | 06:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i guess you just make one gregg | 06:53 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, no...it should be there | 06:53 |
|---|
| Myrtti | !upstart | 06:53 |
|---|
| archboxman | If anyone wants to read this about Atheros wifi cards: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309605&highlight=backports+for+wifi | 06:53 |
|---|
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 06:54 |
|---|
| gregg | then why the error? ;) should i sudo the command? | 06:54 |
|---|
| h0rnman | gregg, yes...sorry, I didn't specify | 06:54 |
|---|
| gregg | oki | 06:54 |
|---|
| gregg | h0rnman: same error | 06:54 |
|---|
| Quoexl | question, is anything run out of init.d inherently run as sudo? | 06:54 |
|---|
| Myrtti | h0rnman, gregg: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html | 06:54 |
|---|
| archboxman | problem is upstart is using grub2 and having problems | 06:54 |
|---|
| Steil_ | hey | 06:55 |
|---|
| Steil_ | is there a way to change my ident reply? | 06:56 |
|---|
| Callum__ | Quoexl: all the init scripts run as root (not sudo, sudo is just a command to temporarily elevate you to superuser privileges) | 06:56 |
|---|
| h0rnman | yeah, I suppose you can do it that way too :) | 06:56 |
|---|
| Callum__ | oh, he's gone... | 06:57 |
|---|
| gregg | going to reboot see if my changes helped - brb ;) | 06:57 |

| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: i was going to try them soon, i just put them up as a mirror yesterday | 07:05 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: yep | 07:05 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | it works but just not finidng the disk that it is on | 07:05 |

|---|
| yoavsbg17 | sslaccessrocks: ? | 07:06 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | yoavsbg17: the quickest solution would be to install seamonkey (sudo apt-get install seamonkey), but it sounds like you are trying to open a binary file with firefox (which no internet browser supports) | 07:06 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok i'll try... | 07:06 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | cool | 07:07 |

| ^sn00per^ | sslaccessrocks: whats the default grub parameter on ubuntu ? | 07:08 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: thats what you would need for the script to execute on shutdown && reboot | 07:09 |

| sslaccessrocks | yoavsbg17: you could try a firefox addon, call user-agent and change it to "appear" like internet explorer | 07:09 |

| SolarisBoy | gregg: like possibly mount for music player or something that may hold onto a file? | 07:10 |

| gregg | SolarisBoy: nope - I just shutdown without having done anything but looking at the files (not opening), same hang | 07:10 |

| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: you may also want to try a linux floppy to recover your files | 07:11 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | the viao is powering the hard drive just fine but bios does not support usb booting | 07:11 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: no, i mean it will detect the hard-drive as a thumb-drive after buying that, and it can boot from a live cd or linux floppy (that doesn't redirect floppy2usb) | 07:12 |

| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: no, it sees whatever the bios sees | 07:16 |

| archboxman | jungleberrykid: you may need to use a livecd if your system keeps freezing | 07:16 |

| yoavsbg17 | sorry i even don't know what is it .. | 07:16 |

| gregg | SolarisBoy: i'll get there ;) | 07:16 |

| SolarisBoy | sorry.. typed enter to early =) | 07:17 |

| sslaccessrocks | yoavsbg17: open firefox, tools, addons, search user-agent, download plugin, restart firefox, tools, user-agent, choose internet explorer, and it will fake internet explorer to websites | 07:17 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: what is the complete message dmesg that you see? | 07:17 |
|---|
| klappi | jungleberrykid: what kind of box is it an old one? | 07:17 |
|---|
| archboxman | jungleberrykid: did you hook up a extrenal drive to this laptop??? | 07:17 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | I can mount my karmic boot partition and everything is there - nothing is missing or corrupt | 07:17 |
|---|
| ultraz | how can i make 9.10 boot verbose/console. This grub2 is driving me crazy. | 07:17 |

| TLUL | What sort of logs are created at bootup that I could use to figure out why it's not always working? | 07:18 |

| SolarisBoy | ok | 07:18 |

| emghazal | When I boot the computer, I get "The application 'NetworkManager Applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked", and I have to enter the keyring password to access the wireless network.

| sslaccessrocks | emghazal: system -> preference -> encryption and keyrings (check there) | 07:19 |
|---|
| TLUL | SolarisBoy: So how do I view them? | 07:19 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | TLUL: the commands less, cat, tail usually | 07:19 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | TLUL: they are text files | 07:19 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: it's HUGE - hope you're patient lol | 07:19 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | how do I determine what may be hanging my boot? | 07:19 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: use grep | 07:19 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ? | 07:19 |
|---|
| TLUL | SolarisBoy: Where are the files located? | 07:20 |
|---|
| klappi | jungleberrykid: dmes on console right after boot | 07:20 |
|---|
| klappi | jungleberrykid: dmesg sorry | 07:20 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: grep -C10 'CIFS VFS' /var/log/messages .. would show 10 lines above and below each occurence of that regex.... | 07:20 |
|---|
| archboxman | jungleberrykid: what was the last thing you installed or played with??? | 07:20 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | use grep to slim out the output of everything else to see whats relevant.... | 07:20 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | TLUL: to search for files in command line: find / -name searchterm where "/" is the location, which can be changed to say /home | 07:20 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | klappi: yes, that's exactly what I've done, dmesg and everything looks good - no errors, no warnings, it hangs straight after the AppArmor scripts complete... | 07:20 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | TLUL: logs go under /var/log/ | 07:21 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: nothing | 07:21 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: that command shows nothing at all | 07:21 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: possibly in a different log | 07:21 |

|---|
| navetz | but works properly if I just run it | 07:28 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: not resolving the issue just proving the idea jungleberrykid loading scripts may have lead to gnome failing all at one time | 07:28 |
|---|
| git__ | navetz, gotta make sure it's executable | 07:28 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: yes something other than amarok is holding it open... you may need to create some sort of script to kill the smb mounts and whatever processes/handles it is... better yet | 07:28 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: try lsof, or fuser to see all whats holding the drive... | 07:28 |
|---|
| git__ | navetz, chmod u+x /home/name/script | 07:28 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | yoavsbg17: do you know how to read arabic, if you do, the arabic ubuntu help channel would be a better place to ask | 07:28 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: i see | 07:28 |

|---|
| yoavsbg17 | sorry .. i don't | 07:29 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: you need an argument | 07:29 |
|---|
| navetz | git__: it is executable, it works fine on its own, just not in crontab | 07:29 |
|---|
| yoavsbg17 | but i'll try the hebrew one | 07:29 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: never the idea of moving that fast with either hard ware or software cause a hiccup... | 07:29 |
|---|
| ddavids | pls how do i limit sound to the headphones when connected? | 07:29 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | qUaNtiC_: try the command in terminal: apt-cache search integrity | 07:29 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: like? | 07:29 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | archboxman: what does fluxbox replace? what does gnome normally use? | 07:29 |

| yoavsbg17 | anyway thanks ! | 07:29 |

|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: jungleberrykid is this a new install? | 07:30 |
|---|
| archboxman | jungleberrykid: it uses different software towards that of gnome ... gnome includes its own library of tools ... and fluxbox or other windows managers use there own tools | 07:30 |

| SolarisBoy | archboxman: jungleberrykid are you able to get to recovery/single user mode? | 07:31 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: nothinb | 07:31 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: nothing* | 07:31 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: ok | 07:31 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: this is not a new install, I had it working perfectly except that I could not get any tty consoles.... I uninstalled gdm and then ran into this problem... | 07:31 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | sslaccessrocks: someone just told me to update my firmware i just gave the spec to where this dang viao is not usb bootable | 07:31 |

| archboxman | SolarisBoy: no need to talk to me just jungleberrykid .... | 07:31 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ok | 07:31 |

| mukiex_ | is fstab still the "proper" way to permanently mount Samba shares? | 07:31 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: did that fix it? | 07:32 |
|---|
| navetz | git__: alright cool, what does 2>&1 mean? I've seen it before but forgot | 07:32 |
|---|
| mukiex_ | Just in case there's a better way to do it nowadays, I haven't used Linux in ages. | 07:32 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | no | 07:32 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | hmm have you tried reinstalling gdm? | 07:32 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I am not able to get into single user/recovery mode - it hangs in the same place..... if I add 'rw init=/bin/bash' to my boot then I can get root access at the command prompt.... | 07:32 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: I watch from the cheep sets and file in the blanks... | 07:32 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: =) | 07:32 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | sslaccessrocks: no not really the netbook i have is viao pcg u101 which they do not have updates for firmware.. | 07:33 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | and its not usb bootable .. | 07:33 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: try that and to start networking and try to install gdm again,, | 07:33 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: arm architecture? | 07:33 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I have also usccessfully booted to LiveCD, mounted the partition, run fsck on partition - files are all fine, can even mount to the partition - everything is there.... | 07:33 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | is all i can think,, im not good with X/gui related stuff | 07:33 |
|---|
| gregg | maybe permanent mount of my samba shares using fstab is the problem??? | 07:33 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: interesting | 07:33 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | !arm | ^sn00per^ | 07:33 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: or the options used... | 07:33 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: the thing may be wireless... | 07:34 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | no its ont a arm archieture | 07:34 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | !armel | ^sn00per^ | 07:34 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: have booted to root command prompt, have re-installed gdm, have re-installed ubuntu-desktop, have re-install xserver-xorg... | 07:34 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | !arm | 07:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: ok | 07:34 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: that's what i was thinking - maybe i should be mounting AFTER fstab is loaded? like rc.0 or something?? | 07:34 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: ok, thought u might want to check that before going further, i have to head out, if i find anything, i'll add to that auburn site | 07:34 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: when I run 'startx' from root prompt it displays some messages which are too quick for me to read and then I get a blank screen - no X.... | 07:34 |
|---|
| archboxman | jungleberrykid: that is what I don't understand that is how I make mistakes in computer builds is moving to fast | 07:34 |
|---|
| git__ | navetz, redirect standard error (STDERR) to STDOUT which is the file.log | 07:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: i think thats a viable option,, wireless is up/downy by design,, you may not notice it but it can affect services... | 07:35 |
|---|
| ^sn00per^ | thanks sslaccessrocks | 07:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: it may be best to just mount samba manually | 07:35 |
|---|
| sslaccessrocks | ^sn00per^: np, good day | 07:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: those messages are in a log file | 07:35 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | archboxman & SolarisBoy: how do I run 'startx' in verbose mode or debug mode? :) | 07:36 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: that has to do with your wireless card and range | 07:36 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: those messages are in X11 logs | 07:36 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: what do you mean exactly? | 07:36 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: ok, I will search for that.... brb | 07:36 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ok | 07:36 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: /var/log/ is the location | 07:36 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: lspci -nnk give me wireless card and module there are some cards known to drop signal... | 07:37 |

|---|
| Moat | I have a source code in perl | 07:37 |
|---|
| Moat | and I wanna know how 2 run it | 07:37 |
|---|
| git__ | navetz, do u know why people do that? One reason is because cron email STDERR, that statement redirect STDERR to a log file instead | 07:37 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: couple ways | 07:38 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: make it executable with chmod +x | 07:38 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: the output is big - what am i looking for exactly? | 07:38 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: or run it like /usr/bin/perl <script>... | 07:38 |
|---|
| navetz | git__: ahh thank you :) | 07:38 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I only see 'Xorg.0.log' and 'Xorg.0.log.old' in that folder and both are completely empty.... :( | 07:38 |

|---|
| gregg | archboxman: Kernel driver in use: wl | 07:39 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: need wifi card info ok lets look up module | 07:39 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: Kernel modules: wl, ssb | 07:39 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarBoy: I can try the startx again but it will just hang, when I reboot the logs are empty.... | 07:39 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ok | 07:39 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: thats fine want to see if people are report drops and gains with wifi card | 07:39 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | is there any way to run startx in verbose mode or debug mode?? | 07:40 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | do startx and redirect standard error to a file that will persist after reboot... | 07:40 |
|---|
| ddavids | pls how do i limit sound to the headphones when connected? | 07:40 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: ok | 07:40 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | something under your home maybe? | 07:40 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: that is an excellent idea! how would I redirect the output? | 07:40 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | using > and to do standard error and all to that file.. >& | 07:41 |
|---|
| === linucks is now known as linucks[afk] |
| archboxman | gregg: found it... that wireless card has issues | 07:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | so i think startx >& /home/${USER}/xerrors.log would suffice jungleberrykid | 07:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you can test it with a command that doesn't crash the box first =) | 07:43 |
|---|
| Lostinspace_46 | Some pkg questions. First, what is the difference between pkgA gotten from ubuntu repos, and pkgA gotten from a websight? | 07:43 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: thank you so much, I will give it a try and let you know.... brb | 07:43 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: ok... so how can i solve the samba mounting problem? | 07:43 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: found people using both the module and nsdiwrapper for that card is causing problems with connecitons not samba | 07:44 |
|---|
| gregg | my connection seems fine - even samba when i acually get it mounted | 07:44 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | hmm but those errors are indicative of samba executing commands when it shouldn't... | 07:44 |

| SolarisBoy | usually that happends when file handles are still open on mounted shares at shutdown.. | 07:44 |
|---|
| Gryphon9 | Ah can any one help me? im having a problem getting Gnome Do to work, i've installed it but i just can't get it to become the toolbar??? | 07:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | if it was a connection issue of dropping,, he would like have STALE file handle issues in logs | 07:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | s/like/likely/ | 07:45 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: question is how far are you from this router and computer | 07:45 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: thats should be noted,, however the nature of wireless as stated is up/downy.. there is much overhead involved... | 07:46 |
|---|
| marek_ | hi, can you help me with apache2 installation? | 07:46 |
|---|
| gregg | going to reboot - brb | 07:46 |
|---|
| marek_ | how can i allow other computers from my network to access for my local server? | 07:46 |
|---|
| marek_ | i can see it from localhost | 07:46 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: there is something known as refraction in wireless terms which means if two signals are sent to the same wifi card in will either bost the signal or degrade the wifi signal | 07:47 |
|---|
| Moat | I want to run the source code of perl script...how? | 07:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | overhead that can affect services but not be noticeable to gregg as hes surfing the web or whatever... which is why people would generally not perist network shares on wireless networks... | 07:47 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: what with jungleberrykid ??? | 07:47 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | he can find simply if his connections are dropping alot by doing netstat -s | 07:48 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: is going to redirect errors to a log and come back | 07:48 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i mean archboxman ^ | 07:48 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | archboxman: I've just run startx and redirected standard output like SolarisBoy suggested - it hangs and I am rebooting right now.... | 07:48 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: smart move | 07:48 |
|---|
| Moat | I want to run the source code of perl script...how? | 07:48 |
|---|
| Gryphon9 | Ah can any one help me? im having a problem getting Gnome Do to work, i've installed it but i just can't get it to become the toolbar???:( | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: as stated make the file executable or... | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | use path to perl and the file | 07:49 |
|---|
| Moat | how? | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: chmod +x <file> | 07:49 |
|---|
| Moat | ...rite, I'll PM you. | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: or /usr/bin/perl <file> | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: no need thats whats needed | 07:49 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: log file xerrors.log is empty.... :( | 07:49 |
|---|
| Moat | hmm | 07:49 |
|---|
| Moat | the file is on my desktop and I named it "Wordly" so whats the command? | 07:49 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: maybe the redirect line is wrong =) give me a second.. | 07:49 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: kk | 07:50 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | thats why i asked you to test on a another command first.. i forget all the redirect ins/outs i usually just google it | 07:50 |
|---|
| Lostinspace_46 | Some pkg questions. First, what is the difference between pkgA gotten from ubuntu repos, and pkgA gotten from a websight? | 07:50 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: ok, I will google it now... | 07:50 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: http://www.mathinfo.u-picardie.fr/asch/f/MeCS/courseware/users/help/general/unix/redirection.html | 07:50 |
|---|
| gregg | ok - getting more and more frustrated - how can i mount my samba shares automatically AFTER my wireless connects? - i'm still only getting 4 out of 7 shares mounting no matter what I put in fstab | 07:50 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: you can use a sleep period in a start script... | 07:51 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: how's that? | 07:51 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: how far are you from this box.. you need to get closer and elminate problems... | 07:52 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: sleep <until network is ready>; mount <samba share>; mount <samba share>; mount <samba share>; mount <samba share> | 07:52 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I've bookmarked this site, thank you - it's an excellent reference! :) | 07:52 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: I'm about 5 meters from the box | 07:52 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: =) np | 07:52 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: sam room?? | 07:52 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: archboxman that is not always the issue.. | 07:52 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok sorry - you're over my head =) | 07:52 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | as stated... wireless is up/downy | 07:52 |
|---|
| gregg | i know nothing about start scripts | 07:52 |
|---|
| Moat | SolarisBoy, can you answer me? | 07:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: i really think all hoopla is because the shares are probably holding large files and some dont all get mounted at boot in the alloted time before they time out... | 07:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: what did you ask? | 07:53 |
|---|
| gregg | issue is: at boot only 4 out of 7 samba shares mount from fstab - it's always the same 4 - mount -a works after my network comes up, so it MUST be a timing thing, right? | 07:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: ask here | 07:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: no | 07:53 |
|---|
| Moat | the file is on my desktop and I named it "Wordly" so whats the command? I want to run a perl script | 07:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: sounds like a network thing again | 07:54 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I've tested it with ls command and it works - output is successfully written to the file.... I'll give it another try now with startx.... :) | 07:54 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: chmod +x Wordly and then ./Wordly | 07:54 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: k | 07:54 |
|---|
| ddavids | pls how do i limit sound to the headphones when connected? | 07:54 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: the shares are holding large files - how to enlarge the timeout then? | 07:54 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: that is why I want you to elimanate the distance between computers and walls interfering with signal path | 07:55 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: we may need to investigate mount options in samba,, or a nasty dirty way to mount with a script that sleeps until a period time and then mounts all samba,, | 07:55 |
|---|
| alazyworkaholic | I am stuck in low-graphics mode. I had fglrx, removed it, & (I think) I installed the xorg-edgers drivers only ppa for the open source driver, but it didn't work. I need a bit of help. | 07:55 |
|---|
| Ari_Lazarus | Hi guys. What does it mean why I use wine on an .exe in terminal and get no response? Is there a particular setting I can try? | 07:55 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | wireless switches algorithms/frequncies constantly,, you can be right in the room of the device or not.. wireless is just not the proper transport for certain things,, | 07:56 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: well wired isn't an option unfortunately | 07:56 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: It worked!! :) | 07:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: sweet | 07:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: ok | 07:57 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: I have output in the file now.. :) | 07:57 |
|---|
| Moat | SolarisBoy | 07:57 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: I agree that is the method of closing the gap in his approach to see a steady signal .. | 07:57 |
|---|
| Moat | I'm still having the same problem | 07:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: so we need to look at the optiions of moving the smbmounts from fstab and not having them persistent | 07:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: whats the issue now? | 07:57 |
|---|
| neil_d | I can't get my sound card to work! its an "ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)" anyone know what module should be loaded for this sound card? | 07:57 |
|---|
| Moat | chmod: cannot access `Wordly': No such file or directory | 07:57 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: aaaaaaah.... I think we're getting somewhere now... :) | 07:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: you need to be on the desktop | 07:57 |
|---|
| Lostinspace_46 | Ari_Lazarus, It is easiest to right click the .EXE icon and pice open with wine | 07:58 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: cd to where the file is and try again | 07:58 |
|---|
| Moat | it's on my desktop so "cd~"? | 07:58 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | no | 07:58 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok - where can we put them if not fstab? | 07:58 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | thats home desktop is ~/Desktop | 07:58 |
|---|
| Kovra | I have upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, my system is almost unusable at the moment. Xorg is using a massive amount of CPU cycles. | 07:58 |
|---|
| Ari_Lazarus | Lostinspace_46: That's what I did initially, I used the terminal when it seemed to do nothing. | 07:58 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: no where or a start script | 07:58 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: Backtrace: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: dl_open_worker: Assertion '_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! | 07:59 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok - so I need to learn about start scripts ;) | 07:59 |
|---|
| Moat | still having issues SolarisBO | 07:59 |
|---|
| jazz | does anyone use pidgin! | 07:59 |
|---|
| Lostinspace_46 | Ari_Lazarus, Hmm, don't know, never had it happen to me | 07:59 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: i suggest you make a script that contains the lines to mount them all as 1 part.. then either add that sript to startup with a sleep value or just call that script when you are sure your network is ready | 07:59 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: what is a dl-open?? will look at google | 08:00 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Ari_Lazarus, what are you trying to run? | 08:00 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: thats an error =) | 08:00 |
|---|
| Tmj31 | yo | 08:00 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: again, I need to learn about start scripts - you're speaking chinese to me ;) | 08:00 |
|---|
| Tmj31 | any good places to talk computers | 08:00 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | those are functions in an application jungleberrykid | 08:00 |
|---|
| Ari_Lazarus | ZykoticK9: Quest for Glory IV, but I just realized I might have needed Dosbox instead of WINE :O | 08:00 |
|---|
| Moat | SolarisBoy, the file is on my desktop | 08:00 |
|---|
| rww | ubottu: anyone | jazz | 08:00 |
|---|
| ubottu | jazz: 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? | 08:01 |
|---|
| Moat | and I'm not getting anything | 08:01 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: you simply move the lines like "mount" into a file | 08:01 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: cd ~/Desktop | 08:01 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SolarisBoy: ok, I will need to google it - means nothing to me... lol | 08:01 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: its a xorg problem | 08:01 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: i got that far - it's auto-running that script at a certain point in time that gets me | 08:01 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: here is the link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/128891 | 08:01 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: ahh ,, i see =) | 08:01 |
|---|
| Tmj31 | can anyone see my msg | 08:01 |
|---|
| archboxman | Tmj31: yes | 08:01 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Ari_Lazarus, well there doesn't appear to be a WineHQ entry for it? Personally, I've never heard of the series. Best of luck. | 08:02 |
|---|
| archboxman | Tmj31: you registered a nic | 08:02 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat if the file is on your desktop just cd there your desktop is under your home afaik | 08:02 |
|---|
| Viking667 | morning/afternoon/evening, all. | 08:02 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | hi Viking667 | 08:02 |
|---|
| Ari_Lazarus | ZykoticK9: Don't worry about it. It was one of the more popular adventure point-and-clicks back in the early 90s, along with Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, and Monkey Island. :) | 08:03 |
|---|
| archboxman | jungleberrykid: did you upgrade ubuntu before the xorg file | 08:03 |
|---|
| jazz | 1 is there a pidgin channel 2 why does the ruttin facebook pluggin always disconnects | 08:03 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Anyone here gone and compiled a kernel for 9.10? I'm having occasional memory allocation issues with 3D programs. | 08:03 |
|---|
| Moat | SolarisBoy, the file is "Wordly" and it's on my desktop, What is the command? | 08:03 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Ari_Lazarus, try in DosBox then < DB is pretty good | 08:03 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | brb | 08:03 |
|---|
| Ari_Lazarus | Yup, installing now. | 08:03 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: Moat... 1. cd to the desktop.. step 2. chmod +x the file,, if it isn't owned by you use sudo | 08:04 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | thats it | 08:04 |
|---|
| Viking667 | (as long as the user's in the sudoer's file" | 08:04 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: and how to make it run at boot? | 08:04 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | then run ./<file> | 08:04 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg add it to startup services ,, thats in the gui | 08:04 |
|---|
| rww | jazz: 1) yes, /join #pidgin 2) Facebook can do Jabber now, try that instead of the plugin. I believe there are instructions if you click "Pidgin" in the center-bottom of http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php | 08:04 |
|---|
| Moat | sudo: +x: command not found | 08:04 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: your taking on a lot | 08:04 |
|---|
| Moat | Really, this is becoming pathetic. | 08:05 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: not sudo +x chmod +x | 08:05 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: umm, i'm in kubuntu... | 08:05 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | sudo chmod +x <file> | 08:05 |
|---|
| Viking667 | yeah, you gotta be explicit with your commands. | 08:05 |
|---|
| Moat | chmod: cannot access `Wordly': No such file or directory | 08:05 |
|---|
| Moat | Honestly... | 08:05 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | sorry im not used to end users... | 08:05 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Moat: hm. Where's "Worldly" then? | 08:05 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: is that user added to the sudo user group?? | 08:05 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | heh | 08:05 |
|---|
| Moat | "Wordly" is on my desktop | 08:05 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: what user? | 08:05 |
|---|
| Moat | and it's a perl source code, it's saved as a text document | 08:06 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Worldy simply cd /home/user/desktop | 08:06 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Moat: thats' why you do what SolarisBoy suggested: | 08:06 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | where user is you user name | 08:06 |
|---|
| ddavids | Two newly installed karmic systems, one setup as a print server, the other as a print client. However, I cannot see any of the server's printers from the client. | 08:06 |
|---|
| Moat | What he said failed | 08:06 |
|---|
| Moat | so THERE. | 08:06 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: do u use the right password for sudo?? | 08:06 |
|---|
| Viking667 | i.e. for me: $ cd $HOME/Desktop | 08:06 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | failed where? | 08:06 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: yes | 08:06 |
|---|
| Viking667 | ls Worldly | 08:06 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: where are you going with this? | 08:06 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | lol ::face palms:: | 08:06 |
|---|
| Viking667 | SolarisBoy: lol. | 08:06 |

| Viking667 | He's not stupid, trust me. | 08:07 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i know...... | 08:07 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | .. | 08:07 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: move that file from desktop to home folder and follow commands | 08:07 |
|---|
| rww | Moat: chmod +x ~/Desktop/Wordly | 08:07 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | rww: nice one | 08:07 |

| Viking667 | f#f#f#f# | 08:07 |
|---|
| Moat | nothing happened | 08:08 |
|---|
| ddavids | Two newly installed karmic systems, one setup as a print server, the other as a print client. However, I cannot see any of the server's printers from the client. | 08:08 |
|---|
| archboxman | lmao | 08:08 |
|---|
| Moat | why am i not suprised. | 08:08 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | lol Moat nothing will | 08:08 |
|---|
| Moat | ....e-e | 08:08 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | just do chmod -v +x if you want to see something | 08:08 |
|---|
| iwanraga | halooo | 08:08 |
|---|
| ddavids | Two newly installed karmic systems, one setup as a print server, the other as a print client. However, I cannot see any of the server's printers from the client. pls, can anybody help? | 08:08 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Moat: now, go run the program: ~/Desktop/Worldly | 08:08 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: you need to then run the script... Moat you not payinh attn.. i told you two ways... | 08:08 |
|---|
| rww | Moat: yes, that makes it executable. You'd then run it with "~/Desktop/Wordly" or "perl ~/Desktop/Wordly" | 08:08 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | 1. make the file executable,, 2. execute under perl directly... | 08:09 |
|---|
| Moat | k.. | 08:09 |
|---|
| rww | jazz: I don't know, unfortunately. The people in #ubuntu-offtopic might. | 08:09 |
|---|
| Viking667 | those are alternatives, by the way | 08:09 |
|---|
| Cappy | anyone alive here? | 08:09 |

| alazyworkaholic | I am stuck in low-graphics mode. I had fglrx, removed it, & (I think) I installed the xorg-edgers drivers only ppa for the open source driver, but it didn't work. I need a bit of help. | 08:11 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: good - getting there, writing my script | 08:11 |
|---|
| alphacharlie_ | i installed gtk+-2.19.but when i'm giving the command pkg-config --modversion gtk+.it's showing 1.2.10.shouldn't that be 2.19.0? | 08:11 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: nice =) | 08:11 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | make sure to put the shabang on top | 08:12 |
|---|
| gregg | shabang? | 08:12 |
|---|
| Viking667 | #!/.... | 08:12 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: thats the reply we want to here ... don't leave us in the dark | 08:12 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | #!/bin/bash | 08:12 |
|---|
| Viking667 | ^^^ example | 08:12 |
|---|
| Moat | it worked | 08:12 |
|---|
| Moat | hurrah | 08:12 |
|---|
| Viking667 | #!/usr/bin/perl << is another example | 08:13 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | \0/ | 08:13 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Good. Give yourself a pat on the back | 08:13 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | nice work Moat | 08:13 |
|---|
| Moat | yaay | 08:13 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | woot | 08:13 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: and Viking667 you cleanded up this mess | 08:13 |
|---|
| user01_ | can anyone help me making my home server? | 08:13 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: =) | 08:13 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | user01_: home server? that does what? | 08:14 |
|---|
| Moat | Is there an easier way to run perl scripts? | 08:14 |
|---|
| user01_ | that host my website via ISP | 08:14 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: easier? | 08:14 |
|---|
| q0_0p | anyone here able to get gnome-do working with openbox? | 08:14 |
|---|
| user01_ | how | 08:14 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: yes /usr/bin/perl <script> | 08:14 |
|---|
| Moat | like a way to make the file auto-execute | 08:14 |
|---|
| Moat | like a program | 08:14 |
|---|
| Moat | or etc. | 08:14 |
|---|
| Viking667 | uh, no. | 08:14 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ummm | 08:14 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: not open box | 08:14 |
|---|
| Viking667 | That's a really bad idea | 08:14 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | what does it do? | 08:15 |
|---|
| archboxman | I dont think gnome do runs in openbox give me a second | 08:15 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you can put it in cron... | 08:15 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Moat: If you want to execute the program, then have it execute by hand. Having it execute automatically should only be done when you trust the (1) author, (2) program, and (3) users on that computer. | 08:15 |
|---|
| Moat | I made it | 08:16 |
|---|
| Moat | lol | 08:16 |
|---|
| Viking667 | oh, and (4) you know what the *@)( the program does. | 08:16 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: what does it do? | 08:16 |
|---|
| Moat | Uh, thats personal >.> | 08:16 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: you need to run when automatically? at boot up? | 08:16 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Fine. Run it on your own computers then, and don't kick it off automatically. | 08:16 |
|---|
| Moat | no, just have it auto run when i want | 08:16 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | umm... | 08:17 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you need to run it manually then... | 08:17 |

| archboxman | q0_0p: this is all I could find http://www.everyjoe.com/newlinuxuser/openbox-gnome-panel/ | 08:17 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, its all good thx for helpin me out | 08:17 |
|---|
| Jamesofur | hey, I feel like this should be a relatively easy thing but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I have no sound in my browsers with flash (youtube etc) video yes but no sound. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash from multiple sources to no luck :( even get an error when I try to install it from adobe's website. Just reinstalled from the package manager and still no sound | 08:17 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: sorry I use fluxbox | 08:17 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | q0_0p, if you want gnome-do docky, pretty sure that requires a WM with compositing does OpenBox have that? | 08:18 |
|---|
| q0_0p | ZykoticK9, u can use compositing with xcompmgr | 08:18 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Moat: if you get a better idea of when you want it to run put it in cron,, given it doesn't break things... | 08:18 |
|---|
| Viking667 | Moat: when you want== cron. | 08:18 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | q0_0p, well, don't see why it wouldn't work then? does it drag in lots of Gnome for dependencies? | 08:19 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i kind of like fluxbox how it's easy to create keybindings | 08:19 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i think he means when i want like randomly... | 08:19 |
|---|
| Moat | k.. | 08:19 |
|---|
| q0_0p | ZykoticK9, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=320854 | 08:19 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | but if you know the times... then yes cron... | 08:19 |
|---|
| q0_0p | ZykoticK9, yes it drags a lot of gnome dependencies | 08:19 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: keybindings are not a big deal , but they have there problems like most windows managers | 08:19 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i dont like openbox keybindings | 08:20 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, but i like how it looks though | 08:20 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, have u tried lxde? | 08:20 |
|---|
| Fill23 | where to look if i can't find specific resolution? | 08:20 |
|---|
| Fill23 | for monitor | 08:20 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: yes its a mess... some of the cpu is eaten up | 08:21 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, how so? | 08:21 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i like everythign except for its keybindings >_< | 08:21 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: network manager eats a lot of the cpu... | 08:21 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, u dont have to use nm-applet | 08:21 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, u can use wicd or just bash ^^ | 08:22 |
|---|
| alphacharlie_ | i installed gtk+-2.19.but when i'm giving the command pkg-config --modversion gtk+.it's showing 1.2.10.shouldn't that be 2.19.0? | 08:22 |
|---|
| gregg | in my script I have a samba share with a space in it - how do I do the space? I have films\040test - is that wrong? | 08:22 |
|---|
| gregg | the share is films test | 08:22 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, u can have network manager working in fluxbox if u wanted to also | 08:22 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: not sure there ,but that stupid network manager and running it in ubuntu is a bad case | 08:22 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | grep you can put that in quotes i believe | 08:22 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i'd get rid of it | 08:22 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i never liked nm-applet | 08:23 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | gregg, try\ with\ just\ the\ backslash | 08:23 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | lol i keep calling you grep by accident.. | 08:23 |

|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, ah | 08:23 |
|---|
| gregg | ZykoticK9: that worked thaanks | 08:23 |

| SolarisBoy | s/o/i | 08:24 |
|---|
| Kovra | I have upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and my system has become unbarably slow | 08:24 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: makes life easy running a bsd / slackware install | 08:24 |
|---|
| Viking667 | yeah. I don't like it either. | 08:24 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok - now I have the script and it works - do I have to do a sudo ./samba EVERY time i boot? | 08:24 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg no | 08:24 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: then you should know we can seperate the network manager to background services | 08:24 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: add a sleep line to the top,, and add it to start up services.. | 08:24 |
|---|
| coldfire2122 | what is the best way to back up ubuntu. like a image of the / partition? | 08:24 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | put it somewhere it will stay.. | 08:24 |
|---|
| Viking667 | quick question: how do I update the apt database? | 08:24 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: sleep line? | 08:24 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, yeah in rc.conf | 08:25 |
|---|
| iceroot | Viking667: sudo apt-get update | 08:25 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | Viking667, "sudo apt-get update" ? | 08:25 |
|---|
| Viking667 | that'll do. Thank you. | 08:25 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: sleep 30 <--is dont do anything for 30 seconds... find a reasonable time that you think your network is settled by... | 08:25 |
|---|
| iceroot | !backup | coldfire2122 | 08:25 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: I can get fluxbox up in around 2 seconds after boot up | 08:25 |

| q0_0p | archboxman, i believe it | 08:25 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: from the time i login or when? | 08:25 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | put it on top of everything other line in the script (exception of shabang line) and add it to start up | 08:25 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, same with lxde | 08:25 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: login | 08:25 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: what is your aim with openbox or lxde | 08:26 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, nothing i guess | 08:26 |
|---|
| coldfire2122 | thanks | 08:26 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i just like how it looks compared to fluxbox | 08:26 |

| Claviceps | XBOX720 | 08:26 |

| q0_0p | archboxman, but i like flubox's how it's easier | 08:26 |
|---|
| Viking667 | sheesh. 86 packages to upgrade. | 08:26 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok and how do i add th script to startup? | 08:27 |

| archboxman | q0_0p: it makes life a bit easier with menu and functions ,but the keybindings are issues based on menu script | 08:27 |

| Fill23 | hey guys, what IM client do you use for icq & jabber? | 08:27 |
|---|
| git__ | qemu rules the world | 08:27 |

| SolarisBoy | in your case likely best to just go to start menu -> preferences -> sessions -> startup tab | 08:27 |
|---|
| Claviceps | NO | 08:27 |
|---|
| Viking667 | bitlbee/irssi | 08:27 |

| ZykoticK9 | git__, if you CPU supports virtualization try KVM | 08:28 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: i'm in kubuntu, that's probably different... | 08:28 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Viking667: that never worked for me | 08:28 |

| Flannel | Claviceps: Howdy. This channel is for Ubuntu support, is there something we can help you with? | 08:28 |

| xxthink | How to get vmlinux files of ubuntu 9.04 | 08:28 |

| gregg | SolarisBoy: system settings / autostart? | 08:28 |
|---|
| steven__ | hello,all | 08:28 |
|---|
| xxthink | I can only find vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic on /boot | 08:28 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Viking667: we use jabber at work now,, we use to use irc,, now im forced to use pidgin... =( | 08:28 |
|---|
| Viking667 | SolarisBoy: if you have a console/xterm/aterm/add-your-own-term then run irssi and bitlbee | 08:29 |
|---|
| Viking667 | should be fine for jabber. | 08:29 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: if I made a script to unmount all my samba shares at shutdown, you think it MIGHT solve my difs vfs: No response problems?? | 08:29 |
|---|
| * archboxman got to run SolarisBoy and Viking667 have fun to much right now.... :) | 08:29 |
| SolarisBoy | i get the bittlbee working all but one thing,, i get these automated pings when i have tickets which are violating SLA,, and i have to answer yes/no,,, the thing about it is when i answer it doesn't see it,, this destroys my metrics,, so | 08:29 |
|---|
| Viking667 | ... just means you'll end up setting up another server on 6667 but that can be tweaked too | 08:30 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i have to stick pidgin | 08:30 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: certainly | 08:30 |
|---|
| gregg | cool enough | 08:30 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: i was going to mention this | 08:30 |
|---|
| Viking667 | automated pings? What're those? | 08:30 |
|---|
| Viking667 | and "tickets"? | 08:30 |
|---|
| gregg | cool i'll try it out | 08:30 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | Viking667: an application that uses jabber protocols to message me on jabber... | 08:30 |
|---|
| xxthink | How to get vmlinux files of ubuntu 9.04 | 08:30 |
|---|
| xxthink | I can only find vmlinuz-2.6.28-13-generic on /boot | 08:30 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | tickets.. "client case/work" | 08:30 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: dont use that i hav it set up for archlinux using dbus.... hmmm not sure if irssi can use dbus the same | 08:31 |
|---|
| neil_d | I can't get my sound card to work! its an "ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)" how can I fix this? do I need to remove pulseaudio? | 08:31 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | we usually call messaging someone pinging them | 08:31 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | archboxman: use what ? | 08:31 |
|---|
| Flannel | xxthink: 2.6.28 is 9.04 | 08:31 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: arch linux not ubuntu that is a difference in systems for irssi and notify and ping.... | 08:32 |
|---|
| rww | xxthink: vmlinuz files are just compressed vmlinux files. What do you need them for? | 08:32 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | oh right,, i dont know if it does,, i know pidgin can... | 08:32 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | well other systems use other messaging systems than dbus right? | 08:33 |
|---|
| jjulian | hi im having some problems with the grep programm in ubuntu: i call it like this: grep '^.*(SEPERATED1|SEPERATED2|SEPERATED3|SEPERATED4){1}.*(ANDTHIS){1}.*$' my.csv and it just gives me every line. but i want only lines with the SPERATED1-4 (one of them) and with "ANDTHIS" how comes that it just matches every line? | 08:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | so irssi on those systems would likely use whatever they use for notice | 08:34 |
|---|
| paulhomebus | hey guys what the best solution to some of my kernel headers not workin? | 08:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jjulian: that means the patter isn't right | 08:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jjulian: actually you need to try -P | 08:34 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: Debian combines both xorg and dbus that is why boot times are so high... messaging is handled by notify and upstart with grub2 is in place my arch linux gives us the option of installs | 08:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | and use double qoutes | 08:34 |
|---|
| jjulian | ive some tools like regexbuddy it seems to work good there | 08:34 |
|---|
| Kovra | I am using an intel based graphics card mysystem has become unusably slow after upgrading to 9.10 anyone know a solution? | 08:34 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jjulian: that grep is not using that type of regex unless you tell it | 08:34 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: gonna test it - brb ;) | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: K | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: .. | 08:35 |
|---|
| jjulian | SolarisBoy: which regex is grep using? | 08:35 |
|---|
| gregg | poop already | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | not that type.. if you want to use that.... | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | use grep -P | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | or egrep | 08:35 |
|---|
| xxthink | rww: I want to use oprofile on ubuntu | 08:35 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: i tried the samba stop script - i get error after error that the device or ressource is busy | 08:35 |

| boxlover | Hi - I'm having a problem with UNR 9.10 - I've created a bootable USB, but part way through boot it hangs and says "Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow". I found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1306277.html - which says that disabling persistent storage will fix the problem - It does, but now I don't have any storage. How can I get UNR to boot *with* my persistent storage on the USB? | 08:35 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg this is why i just called your name.. | 08:36 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: but i don't know what it's busy WITH | 08:36 |
|---|
| boxlover | (Bootable USB was created with the Windows usb-creator.exe on the UNR 9.10 CD) | 08:36 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | you need to force umount,, and you need to cd out of all those directories if you are in them... | 08:36 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, u can get 3d desktop working with fluxbox? | 08:36 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | so in your script,, ensure that is the case.. | 08:36 |
|---|
| Flannel | jjulian: just a little note on the regexp, {1} is redundant, and you could do seperated(1|2|3|4) as well (although I suspect that bit may have been placeholders for other stuff) | 08:36 |
|---|
| xxthink | rww : do you know how to get it? | 08:36 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: i was using Krusader - i've exited it - the mounts aren't open anywhere else | 08:36 |
|---|
| gregg | I suddenly think Krusader is my problem | 08:37 |

| thevor | Hey I am having problems with Avant Windows Manager (AWN), and was looking for help. Basically I am having problems with themes. Whenever I download them and try to load them through awn, it says "invalid file format". Every tutorial I have read online says that it needs to be tar.gz, and all the theme packages I have are tar.gz. Does anyone have any ideas about this? | 08:37 |
|---|
| jjulian | Flannel: right. its a bit more complicated so i just skipped that out :D | 08:37 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: k.. and force umount,, the issue you are getting they are busy when you umount normally,, is same issue you get when you reboot... | 08:37 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: yep - how do i force umount? | 08:37 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | so you need to kill the process holding it,, force unmount,.. | 08:37 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | -f | 08:37 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: yes 3d desk works just haven't automated the procedure | 08:37 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, i did not know u could do that with fluxbox that is cool | 08:38 |
|---|
| gregg | hmm - i need to find the process holding it then | 08:38 |
|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: yes, not sure on all the options I cloud play with in 3d desk | 08:38 |
|---|
| gregg | OMG YOU ARE KIDDING ME | 08:38 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg thats preferable because maybe you can find the _ROOT_CAUSE_ as pose to this script work around.. | 08:38 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: I found the problem and I want to say nasty words =) | 08:39 |

|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, nice | 08:39 |
|---|
| rww | xxthink: If you're not doing kernel profiling, you can apparently just use "opcontrol --no-vmlinux". If you are, I'll go check if a package somewhere has it, otherwise you'd have to recompile the kernel (which is outside of my area of expertise) | 08:39 |

| ZykoticK9 | archboxman, oh i've seen it a long time ago -- in my gentoo days :) | 08:41 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | archboxman, when i ran fluxbox | 08:41 |

| archboxman | ZykoticK9: interesting ???? never ran gentoo I know most gentoo users say arch linux is easier to install no compiling kernel | 08:42 |

| ZykoticK9 | SolarisBoy, i'm guessing it must be ##iphone | 08:42 |

| rww | Broken slash key? There's an app for that! | 08:42 |

|---|
| archboxman | q0_0p: Yes 3d desk is running not sure how to rotate in the other way I seen on youtube yet | 08:43 |
|---|
| rww | SolarisBoy: nope, it's sometimes done manually by a channel operator. It's not automatic. | 08:43 |
|---|
| q0_0p | archboxman, is it less bloated then compiz? | 08:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | rww: ooooo =) cool thanks i thought it was the server side | 08:43 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | or possibly even irrsi | 08:44 |
|---|

| archboxman | q0_0p: by far, but it does n't allow for the command over it like compiz... that is why I have to play with 3d desk and auto start before I know for sure... | 08:44 |

| SolarisBoy | obscurant1st: parted/gparted maybe? | 08:46 |

| SolarisBoy | archboxman: really? the install was breezy for me | 08:46 |

| linduxed | in firefox it works, from the commandline it doesn't | 08:50 |

| q0_0p | archboxman, what's good about slackware compared to arch? that last time i remember slackware didn't have a repos for stuff and install stuff through installpkg or was it pkginstall | 08:50 |

| git__ | snapshot on top of a filesystem unlike block size snapshot like zumastor | 08:53 |

| SolarisBoy | zfs | 08:53 |
|---|
| seon | hello, how to create a link in the main menu for a software ? | 08:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i think if you put the FS on LVM you can do snaps as well | 08:53 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | on ext3 | 08:53 |
|---|
| git__ | lvm only does whole filesystem snapshot | 08:54 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | seon, System / Preference / Main Menu | 08:54 |
|---|
| git__ | is there a delta based filesystem snapshot | 08:54 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | so looks like you dont have that option on ext3 | 08:54 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | zfs does | 08:54 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | SPECIAL THANKS to SolarisBoy and archboxman for all your help and assistance! I GREATLY appreciate it! :) | 08:54 |
|---|
| git__ | for example, i would like it to take a snapshot of a directory in an increment of one hour | 08:54 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | jungleberrykid: any time =) | 08:54 |

| gregg | SolarisBoy: yep | 08:55 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | ok | 08:56 |
|---|
| seon | nothing happen when i click on "main menu" or "edit menus" but the others are ok | 08:56 |

| SolarisBoy | did it not start or did it error out? | 08:56 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: into what ever works with the greats possible solutions... right now arch linux makes sense with linux mint on laptop for google desktop... :) | 08:56 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: it's owned by root - maybe that's the problem? | 08:56 |
|---|
| seon | strange | 08:56 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | gregg: i dont think,, you can repermission them | 08:57 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: you put the script inside of the root owner ship?? | 08:57 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | where you able to run it fine manually? | 08:57 |

|---|
| SolarisBoy | yes | 08:58 |
|---|
| archboxman | gregg: impossible because the root is not accessible | 08:58 |
|---|
| gregg | archboxman: huh? | 08:59 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | i think you may be erroring out because you would usually need to be root to mount something either or.. i failed to think about it... | 08:59 |

| cjs | I need to move an installation from a small disk to a larger one. It's a boot and LUKS crypto partition, the crypto containing an LVM with root and swap volumes. Any thoughts on how I should go about this? | 09:00 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: ok - i can change ownership, that's fine, but since the script is full of sudo commands, how do i take care of that? | 09:00 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | sudo is interactive... and if you need to type sudo to execute a command,, it likely should be run by root,, | 09:00 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | if in a script | 09:00 |
|---|
| archboxman | SolarisBoy: its funny the archlinux chatroom doesn't want the newbies to know they venture out to explore the new ideas with upstart , udev and grub2 they want to seem separate form the idea of progress | 09:00 |
|---|
| gregg | SolarisBoy: right - i need to tell the script what my sudo password is somehow right? | 09:00 |
|---|
| SolarisBoy | because the script is not open to accept your input at boot time,, its not running in a terminal either | 09:00 |

|---|
| SolarisBoy | cjs: what type of lvm stuff,, lvm on ubuntu? | 09:05 |
|---|
| jungleberrykid | I booted to LiveCD and copied the entire /etc/X11 folder over to my boot partition... it now boots to xubuntu (Xfce) which works and is fine.... | 09:05 |

| soreau | realsifo777: No, there is no proprietary intel driver. This is a known problem with karmic on some intel cards, compiz will cause a freeze. If you would like, you can try latest drivers using the xorg-edgers repo | 09:25 |

| soreau | realsifo777: You probably would want to couple the latest drivers with a latest kernel from ppa repo | 09:25 |

| archboxman | ddavids: its using the isp router for login at irc... | 09:43 |

| archboxman | ddavids: not the home terminal behind the router... | 09:43 |
|---|
| ddavids | archboxman: does tht means it doesnt really change? | 09:44 |
|---|
| filgy | ddavids: anytime your modem drops or anything you will have a new ip from your isp unless you buy a static ip | 09:44 |
|---|
| archboxman | ddavids: yes because they don't know the router only the box outside the router logining in | 09:44 |

| archboxman | perfection: yes | 09:46 |
|---|
| perfection | okay thanks, was wondering if i got to change to anotherprogram or what | 09:47 |
|---|
| filgy | perfection: i don't think the version of transmission that comes with karmic supports it however | 09:47 |
|---|
| archboxman | perfection: magnetic links are those without spy's need to make sure there is a feeder for the file you download | 09:47 |
|---|
| filgy | i could be wrong though | 09:47 |
|---|
| cjs | archboxman: I have backups out the wazoo. Most of my important data is actually in git or svn repos, anyway. | 09:48 |
|---|
| perfection | filgy: there is no support for magnetic with the 1 that comes with karmic | 09:48 |

| indus | naoshige, yes | 10:03 |

| naoshige | that's like saying yes --YES I REALLY MEAN IT i really want to have sex with you girl | 10:03 |

| naoshige | or something to that effect | 10:03 |

| archboxman | soreau: there always is because if it is a success in suse you could see it be gathered in by ubuntu on the next kernel update such as the ati driver support | 10:03 |

| rob_p | Guest60693: The ntpdate command is a one-shot deal. It doesn't use your ntp.conf file. Only your ntpd does. Therefore, you need to specify the server with which you want to sync., in the command. | 10:05 |

| Guest60693 | my server has ntp installed | 10:06 |

|---|
| Guest60693 | I created a diskless image using ubuntu wiki but time on client is wrong | 10:07 |

| rob_p | Guest60693: To check ntp, you need to configure the config file (ntp.conf) and then start the ntp service. Finally, check your logs for feedback. | 10:08 |

| ZykoticK9 | deena, I was able to successfully install Savage2 - 64bit yesterday -- don't know why you're getting that error, sorry | 10:26 |
|---|
| archboxman | alankila: its still a novell idea to drop profiles and fix cpu operations in linux server.... not a native idea to linux... its an addon | 10:27 |
|---|
| perfection | ZykoticK9: maybe 'cause he's installing on 32bit system | 10:27 |

| acron17 | hi there! when i login into gnome i cannot focus any window after the very 1st mouse click, also i cannot switch between the windows using Alt-Tab | 10:28 |

| alankila | oprofile is one of the better linux technologies. I couldn't believe it existed, was easy to use, and worked -- as far as I could tell -- perfectly. | 10:29 |
|---|
| archboxman | alankila: yes I do... written code can be changed understood... | 10:29 |
|---|
| quietone | indus: fyi. made change by right click fn.odt -> properties -> 'open with' tab. this worked for all .odt. good night. | 10:30 |

| perfection | indus: does ubuntu support hyperthreading technology as the one in the intel i5 cpu? | 10:31 |
|---|
| indus | perfection, hmm what is that in i 5 | 10:32 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | deena, are you trying to use "sh Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-x86_64.bin"? as i get the same error if i try that! "chmod +x Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-x86_64.bin" then just use "./Savage2Install-2.1.0.1-x86_64.bin" | 10:33 |
|---|
| perfection | indus: i mean the new intel cpus, they say they have hyperthreading features, etc. and i want to buy a laptop with one, so i was wondering if i cud take adventage of that technology with ubuntu | 10:33 |
|---|
| indus | perfection, i hear its being worked on, not sure if it even works properly with windows 7 yet | 10:34 |
|---|
| deena | i tried that also | 10:34 |
|---|
| indus | deena, can you tell me the output of uname -a | 10:34 |
|---|
| archboxman | alankila: you think a programmer that makes 80,000+ year has time to play with profile or adminstrator over 2000 users is going to figure out current bugs no... we delete profile and give a new profile with same use....not debug a profile .... oprofile intrudoces the same problem novell had for years.. | 10:35 |
|---|
| perfection | indus: oh, maybe i shud wait and hope the next kernel release supports that | 10:35 |

| ZykoticK9 | deena, you have 32bit not 64bit!!! | 10:35 |
|---|
| indus | perfection, let me google it, but hyperthreading is supported for some time in linux, but the new i 5 etc have some new tricks so | 10:35 |
|---|
| indus | ZykoticK9, !!!!!!! | 10:35 |
|---|
| indus | deena, so sweetheart, download the 32 bit installer :) | 10:36 |
|---|
| deena | but mine is AMD phenon processor | 10:36 |
|---|
| deena | AMD is an 64 bit only am i right | 10:36 |
|---|
| indus | deena, its not the processor, its the version of ubuntu you installed | 10:36 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | deena, but you must have installed the 32bit version of Ubuntu | 10:36 |
|---|
| alankila | archboxman: I wonder if you even know what a profiler is. | 10:36 |
|---|
| archboxman | alankila: the only reason we hang on to profiles is to notify novell of current problem in a profile for bug fixes... | 10:36 |
|---|
| indus | deena, well, you can install either a 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu on it, it supports both , its not only 64 bit | 10:37 |

|---|
| baz | start-stop-daemon: Unable to start /usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd: Exec format error (Exec format error) | 10:39 |
|---|
| baz | which is nice | 10:40 |
|---|
| indus | bullgard, but frankly even iam not sure how it works | 10:40 |
|---|
| Slart | baz: tried reinstalling the nfs server ? | 10:40 |
|---|
| archboxman | alankila: have you ever seen what a mouse driver in a novell profile can cause if it causes problems it not fun.... reinstall a mouse driver everytime they hit the same snag... no | 10:40 |
|---|
| alankila | archboxman: so that's a no. You don't know what oprofile actually does. | 10:40 |
|---|
| indus | bullgard, once i found that my network and system password were different, so i deleted the entry for network from passwords and encryptions | 10:40 |
|---|
| indus | and saved | 10:40 |
|---|

| perfection | indus: that's good news though i heard in lucid they may not use the latest kernel, i think we'll have to upgrade | 10:43 |
|---|
| archboxman | Slart: same thing this person doesn't see the overall idea novell will press in .... I see it becuase the introducing the same ideas period... | 10:43 |
|---|
| indus | perfection, i think its fixed already | 10:43 |

|---|
| indus | perfection, i think it will make its way into karmic probably | 10:44 |

| archboxman | Slart: whats next we going to see a private network protocol for devices that novell wouldn't let go of long ago with the bindings....??? | 10:45 |
|---|
| baz | Slart: Interesting. It's 0 bytes :| | 10:45 |
|---|
| alankila | Slart: we're not. I thought his oprofile was about the debian package oprofile, the cpu usage measuring device which I think is the best thing ever. And he's talking about user profiles. | 10:45 |
|---|
| perfection | indus: and i read on some blog they were saying lucid may not use the latest kernel, maybe they'll backport some module or whatever | 10:45 |
|---|
| necat_ | hello | 10:45 |
|---|
| perfection | indus: about processors that support 64bit, when you use 32bit version of OS are you under-utilizing the processor? | 10:46 |
|---|
| necat_ | Heyy hiç türk var ı burda | 10:46 |
|---|
| Slart | archboxman: I'm not claiming to know much about this.. but googling for Oprofile seems to suggest it's a profiling tools.. ie measuring performance for a process/system.. function calls..etc.. | 10:46 |
|---|
| Slart | baz: seems you've found the problem =) | 10:46 |
|---|
| baz | Slart: Seems I have - sorry, when you said "reinstalled" earlier I read it as "restarted" | 10:47 |
|---|
| archboxman | Slart: preformance where is the question ... I can measure preformance without this tool... said to say... | 10:47 |
|---|
| Slart | baz: ah.. try the --reinstall switch with apt-get.. or synaptic | 10:47 |
|---|
| baz | Slart: removed/re-installed package, seems to work now. No idea how that happened, this is on a RAID volume so that's a worry | 10:47 |

| * Q_Continuum sighs | 11:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | Q_Continuum, you won't see it in Karmic probably ever -- add the PPA (FYI it's default in Lucid) | 11:03 |
|---|
| archboxman | Slart: it ties into one there idea is to manage the server which inturn manages profiles to each invidual profile eating processorer time... which leads back to a front end novell server or example ... played with this idea at a hospital and a novel server believe version 5 ... yes this idea has great promise just not ideal for a it platform that can figure out the load based upon start time of profiles ... I don't need a program | 11:03 |
|---|
| Q_Continuum | ZykoticK9, hence the '2 months' with Lucid :-P | 11:04 |
|---|
| rww | Q_Continuum: Ubuntu's Mozilla team has a "firefox-stable" PPA that apparently has it. You'd do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable" | 11:04 |

|---|
| mysterioux | ok, explain furthr pls | 11:14 |
|---|
| alankila | mysterioux: you can answer the question two says: study FHS, and use dpkg -L <packagename> to view list of files of that package. | 11:14 |
|---|
| candyban | OerHeks, I already have it "installed" ... but it's not working properly ... for some reason it can't properly use the dsp device (even though it should go to pulse) ... I'm going to try my luck with linphone | 11:14 |
|---|
| mysterioux | ok alankila: thanks | 11:15 |
|---|
| alankila | mysterioux: the FHS explains why a particular file is in, say, /usr/bin (it's determined by its role/function), and dpkg -L answers the particulars of any package you want to know about. | 11:15 |
|---|
| Slart | mysterioux: well.. documentation goes to one place (/usr/share somewhere).. libraries to (/usr/lib/) binaries or links to them to (/usr/bin is one example).. | 11:15 |
|---|
| Slart | mysterioux: so there are files spread all over the place | 11:15 |
|---|
| ZykoticK9 | candyban, if you're getting a dsp error you can try using "padsp $program" and see if that corrects it | 11:15 |

|---|
| alankila | mysterioux: no, the packages will generally install were they will. | 11:16 |
|---|
| Slart | mysterioux: one of the advantages of using a "distro" is that it's tested with the packages.. so it's usually best to let the files go where they are intended to.. | 11:17 |
|---|
| Slart | mysterioux: but, sure, you can move things around.. expect stuff to break though | 11:17 |

| Slart | what version are you using now? | 11:19 |

| Slart | mysterioux: your machine will never just stop working because the OS is out of date.. updates will stop coming though and eventually the repositories will be moved so you will be unable to install new software unless you select new repositories to use | 11:20 |

| Slart | mysterioux: here's the same thing but with text instead of graphs https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases | 11:24 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: ok. Well, seems straightforward enough. You boot some suitable live cd like knoppix against an empty harddisk image, make filesystem on it, decompress that backup, make any missing directories like /mnt, /sys, /proc, chroot into it, then run some command like grub-install or grub-setup against the harddisk image in order to get a bootloader on it. | 11:26 |
|---|
| alankila | you may have to mount /proc and /sys manually though, and your /dev probably contains some rubbish from udev, but maybe that's not harmful. I'm not sure if /dev is completely empty these days normally, the script isn't handling /dev correctly anyway. | 11:26 |
|---|
| alankila | oh, I see the script also contains a restore method. Well, that's a nice reference for the commands to execute. | 11:27 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, so installing ubuntu on the new system then restoring files will not work properly even if i create the same user? | 11:28 |
|---|
| mysterioux | thanks Slart | 11:28 |
|---|
| mysterioux | furthermore, how do I install wine on ubuntu from the command line or from the Synatic Package? | 11:29 |
|---|
| mysterioux | and how? | 11:29 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: well, chances are that method also will work quite well. I just suggested a method that builds the linux from 0 existing install. | 11:29 |
|---|
| indus | mysterioux, sudo apt-get install wine | 11:29 |
|---|
| Slart | !wine | mysterioux | 11:29 |

| indus | mysterioux, or main menu > system >administration > synaptic package manager | 11:30 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: it's just that the linux will be running while the backup is decompressing, and that's not 100% healthy. But it might just work well enough. | 11:30 |
|---|
| indus | mysterioux, or main menu > ubuntu software center \ | 11:30 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, what if i boot into knoppix to decompress the files? | 11:31 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: then you can probably skip the bootloader installing step, but it's otherwise mostly the same. | 11:31 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: I don't like the fact that this script packed /dev into it. That should not be backuped nor restored. But it's probably harmless. | 11:32 |

|---|
| RRRRrrrraph | Hi all | 11:33 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, i will exclude it from the restore then. is that all i should worry about? will it boot up and be just as i left it before backing it up or is it going to require all kinds of configurations? | 11:34 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: well, I believe it will resume just like you left it. | 11:34 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: the state of a linux system is in its files, and the only invisible part is the bootloader stuff in boot sector and whatever embedded sectors it mentions and so on | 11:35 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, alright thats what i want to hear. thank you so much for your time and information! | 11:35 |
|---|
| alankila | the only danger as I see is with having an old install underneath which contains files that weren't part of the restore image, you'll have some sort of ugly superposition of things then. | 11:35 |

|---|
| Gamrok | how can i resett apt | 11:37 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, because im restoring to new hardware....is it nothing like windows in that respect? | 11:37 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: all that stuff is in the files you backed up. So when you boot some livecd image and restore the backup you restore those files too. All that you will not restore is the bootloader, as I already explained. | 11:37 |

|---|
| Gamrok | what should i do | 11:38 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: oh, yeah, linux system is pretty generic in that almost all hardware support linux has generally is already included. There are some exceptions to this rule, though. | 11:38 |

|---|
| rww | Gamrok: what command are you trying to do? | 11:40 |
|---|
| vices | zvacet: yep, volume control -> preferences | 11:40 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, alright then beautiful...so ill exclude /dev and try decompressing over a fresh install to go the easy way...if that doesnt work ill have to learn the boot loader stuff | 11:40 |
|---|
| vices | zvacet, it just has a "select tracks to be visible" and has only one option "master recording" | 11:40 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: still, you make a good point. Rebuilding the initramfs is a good idea, so "update-initramfs -u -k all" could be a good idea if it autodetects any support it needs to include. (Not sure if it does.) | 11:41 |
|---|
| Gamrok | rww i just try and install anything but it does'nt work and i've been doing this all my life sudo apt-get install gnome-do | 11:41 |
|---|
| zvacet | I'm not at Ubuntu right now but you should see pcm,master and so on | 11:41 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: yeah check back, tell us how it went. It may be that the boot loader parts need some updating, or maybe not. I haven't checked just how large part of initramfses are dynamically tailored to the underlying system. | 11:42 |
|---|
| rww | Gamrok: what's the output of "ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/lock"? | 11:42 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, thank i will. | 11:42 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: to ensure that boot problems don't come bite you, you can also exclude /boot from decompression | 11:42 |
|---|
| zvacet | vices: you should be able to see boxes on left side and check them and you will then have it listed | 11:42 |
|---|
| alankila | i3inary: that way you will keep whatever kernel and grub stuff the installer came up with. It should still work, hopefully. | 11:43 |
|---|
| i3inary | alankila, ok ill do that | 11:43 |

| alankila | michael__: would that be grub2? Maybe you are missing package called os-prober | 11:54 |
|---|
| alankila | michael__: installing that allow grub2 to autogenerate the entries for OSes it knows about. | 11:54 |
|---|
| michael__ | alankila, os-prober wouldn't be able to detect Vista because it needs read access to the partition. | 11:54 |
|---|
| alankila | michael__: so? Shouldn't it have one when you run it as root? | 11:55 |
