| Typos_King | alienkid10: I see... not sure.... I've booted once with a usb.... and didn't save any data...not even sure it's mean to, I know it said it can save files to the usb, but dunno on settings | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Curly_Q | Losha, If you are using a Dynamic DHCP service rather than Static, then, the IP addresses as well as the Domain names cannot be port forwarded or assigned to the server. | 00:00 |
| _2 | Losha: i'm using a gui that's not the point | 00:00 |
| alienkid10 | I need to boot from CD though | 00:00 |
| derekboy | @Pandaman: The only times I've ever seen it happen was when installing something through Software Center, synaptic, etc. | 00:00 |
| alienkid10 | can't boot USB | 00:00 |
| Losha | _2: doesn't change my answer: man ssh | 00:00 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, my prior ubuntu installation also head problems with speed when the harddisk was busy. What version of Ubuntu do you use? | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | alienkid10: boot the system from the live-cd and save the system settings in usb? well.... not sure on that, not that I've done it... so can't say | 00:01 |
| tertitten | anyone dared to update to 10.4 Alpha 3 ? :) (from 9.10) | 00:01 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: Karmic Koala. I also remember this happening much more frequently under Intrepid | 00:01 |
| wirechief | BluesKaj-Laptop: ok well catch you later on this. | 00:01 |
| Losha | Curly_Q: I'm obviously out of my depth at this point. Best of luck... | 00:01 |
| jadakren | !anyone | tertitten | 00:01 |
| Curly_Q | In other words, having a static address with Go-Daddy and having a Domain Name, then, the port forwarding would be important. | 00:01 |
| ubottu | tertitten: 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? | 00:01 |
| bazhang | tertitten, lucid discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 00:01 |
| joineric | Losha: says network is unreachable | 00:02 |
| BluesKaj-Laptop | wirechief, ok ..interesting discussion just the same ;0 | 00:02 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, not sure but i think thats just something Ubuntu has. Not sure though :x I dont have it anymore under 9.10 | 00:02 |
| _2 | Losha: ummm maybe it's something to do with ssh-agent ??? | 00:02 |
| Losha | joineric: ok, that's good, it means it's "just" a config issue, not a hardware failure.... | 00:02 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: After reinstalling it though Wubi a second time (I thought it was my unsupported video drivers) I haven't seen it, but other users on my computer have said it does while browsing the Web and not installing anything. | 00:03 |
| Curly_Q | In other words, a DNS (domain name server) would forward the IP address to the DNS server while the Linux Server will BIND it. | 00:03 |
| Losha | _2: I thought the whole point of ssh-agent was set it & forget it? | 00:03 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, hmm cant help you there other then to advice to install all update ;p | 00:03 |

| magicjoe | i need a step by step list for a newbie, or a link for a newbie, to install ubuntu on a power pc mac. i have the iso for ppc. any help? | 00:03 |
| joineric | Losha: yeah everything else is working great, this is the only problem i am having | 00:04 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, i cant help with that. But make sure you have Ubuntu updated | 00:04 |
| Losha | joineric: you need to edit /etc/network/interfaces. I will paste my config. It should be obvious what to change for your network, ok? | 00:04 |
| joineric | Losha: sounds great! | 00:04 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: Oh thanks. I have it completely updated and am running System Testing right now to see what happens without Intel Video drivers ~,~ | 00:05 |
| Typos_King | derekboy: burn the .iso to cd, try to boot with it :| | 00:05 |
| _2 | Losha: if ssh-agent is causing a pop-up window, i'll just rm /usr/bin/ssh-agent and it will be fixed. | 00:05 |
| Curly_Q | BIND is: Berkely Internet Name Domain | 00:05 |
| Typos_King | wooops | 00:05 |
| Typos_King | magicjoe: burn the .iso to cd, try to boot with it :| | 00:05 |
| Losha | joineric: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pkSZxVNX Might have to restart networking, or reboot to get the routing tables to adjust. Let me know... | 00:06 |
| Pindaman | derekboy, cant help you with videocard problems (: | 00:06 |
| derekboy | @Pindaman: Okay, I just hope the Ubuntu Generic drivers work A-Okay | 00:06 |
| joineric | Losha: alright thanks | 00:07 |

| Losha | Kismet: adding 'export VAR=value' to your .bashrc is one way.... | 00:10 |
| Kismet | Losha, thank you... do i have to add it just at the end of that file | 00:10 |
| ruthie_ | Hello. | 00:11 |

| Losha | Kismet: the end of the file is a good location usually. You may have to logout and then back in again for it to take effect, ok | 00:11 |

| bazhang | ruthie_, this is support ; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:13 |
| Losha | Kismet: type echo $CATALINA_HOME | 00:13 |
| Kismet | Losha, because it i try to install something which requires that stuff it says "nstallation requires the CATALINA_HOME environment variable to be set to the location of your Tomcat installation." | 00:13 |
| Kismet | Losha, the output is /opt/tomcat | 00:14 |
| Losha | Kismet: perfect, that should do it... | 00:14 |
| joineric | Losha: did the edit but still no luck, the only difference between our configs was numbers | 00:14 |
| Losha | joineric: can you paste the output of iconfig -a and netstat -r | 00:15 |
| Kismet | Losha, but when i try to install something which requires that.. it says that the environment variable is not set | 00:15 |
| Losha | Kismet: did you logout and back in again? | 00:15 |
| joineric | Losha: yeah give me a second | 00:15 |
| Kismet | Losha, couple of times | 00:16 |
| Losha | Kismet: are your sure the /opt/tomcat is the correct value? | 00:16 |
| Kismet | Losha, pretty sure... if i go to cd /opt/tomcat i can see my tomcat folder ( i did an ln -s | 00:17 |

| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: is this a troll? | 00:49 |
| VaffanculoNostra | (the company is in chapter 11 bankruptcy) | 00:49 |
| VaffanculoNostra | No | 00:49 |
| dsnyders | kesi, maybe you can disable it in BIOS? | 00:50 |
| VaffanculoNostra | So, saving money has come back to bite us. | 00:50 |
| songer | how i must to save a file and then open it in word offices? | 00:52 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: ok, well now you know what was wrong with that strategy. Your data may be irretrievably lost at this point... | 00:52 |
| humoi | can anyone please tell me how do you turn networking on without turning internet on? | 00:52 |
| ezhangin | hello! | 00:53 |
| Barnabas | humoi, today net = internet | 00:53 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: Yes, we have hundreds of web sites that were hosted on six virtual machines on that Emachines server. | 00:53 |
| dyek | !find SDL.h | 00:53 |
| ubottu | File SDL.h found in clanlib-doc, libplib-dev, libsdl1.2-dev, libxul-dev, pike7.6-reference (and 3 others) | 00:53 |
| Barnabas | if it is routed | 00:53 |
| ezhangin | anyone know a fair amount about audio in ubuntu? | 00:53 |
| humoi | Barnabas, I'm talking about LAN | 00:54 |
| ioudas2 | I have a ubuntu 8.04 32 bit install I have installed apache enabled mod_rewrite and installed php5. Whenever I go to the site no mod rewrite rules seem to work. Does any one have any ideas? None of my google searches seem to make rewrite work. | 00:54 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: We are in violation of our service level agreement and a bunch of clients are cancelling their contracts with us while are company is already in chapter 11. :( | 00:54 |
| raj | HELLO guys and if anyone can help PLEASE let me know.. I found a solution for my SLOW wifi speed. and everytime i go on the terminal and type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 36M" so i can get my wifi run MUCH faster at faster speeds.. but im tired of it.. how can i add the script to bootup? | 00:54 |
| Barnabas | humoi, whats the purpose? | 00:54 |
| Barnabas | to generally turn of internet access for a group of pcs | 00:55 |
| joineric | Losha: yeah i guess that i dont have the correct gateway, the other pc on my network has a default gateway of 192.168.2.1, it should be the same as that right? | 00:55 |
| Barnabas | or just for one | 00:55 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: Sorry to hear that. I think you should be looking for a new job instead of running fsck... | 00:55 |
| humoi | Barnabas, just one | 00:55 |
| bipolar | Does anyone know of a command that will set the Java license as accepted? I need to install the package in the background with no prompts. | 00:55 |
| Barnabas | humoi, manually configure the IP settings without giving a standard gateway | 00:55 |
| mangos | raj: have you tried googling for "ubuntu startup script" or something? | 00:55 |
| Barnabas | humoi, provided you are on a routed LAN | 00:56 |
| humoi | Barnabas, how do you do that? | 00:56 |
| === valadao_ is now known as valadao | ||
| Dunkirk | bipolar, I don't know the elegant answer, but you could "wrap" the install with an expect script, and have it answer the question for you. | 00:56 |
| humoi | Barnabas, yes i am | 00:56 |
| raj | HELLO guys and if anyone can help PLEASE let me know.. I found a solution for my SLOW wifi speed. and everytime i go on the terminal and type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 36M" so i can get my wifi run MUCH faster at faster speeds.. but im tired of it.. how can i add the script to bootup? its funny but that is the only way you can get Ralink to perform fast. can someone help me? to make a script to add this command and let it run everytime i boo | 00:56 |
| raj | t up? | 00:56 |
| ezhangin | alsa whhh | 00:56 |
| raj | mangos yes but this is for wireless:S | 00:56 |
| peekay | does anyone have a working link to ubuntu-restricted-extras offline installer for 9.10? I can only find working links for 9.04 | 00:57 |
| Barnabas | humoi, if you use the gnome network applet it is under the wired pane | 00:57 |
| mangos | raj: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-add-a-program-to-the-ubuntu-startup-list-after-login/ | 00:57 |
| Dunkirk | peekay, You could probably stuff it in /etc/rc.local. | 00:57 |
| ezhangin | my sound isn't working, rats | 00:57 |
| Barnabas | you probably have something called auto eth0 or something | 00:57 |
| Dunkirk | raj, Sorry, that was for you: Stuff it in /etc/rc.local. | 00:57 |
| Losha | joineric: yes, that sounds right... | 00:57 |
| raj | mangos: its not a program. i need to add it as a script with boot up.. not a program:s its a command | 00:58 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: I was looking for something more on the lines of setting the debconf setting manually. | 00:58 |
| raj | thx Drunkirk | 00:58 |
| Typos_King | raj ever checked maybe if 'rutilt' provides any performance gain for it? rutilt in the repos, is a RaLink-optimized network manager with other options | 00:58 |
| humoi | Barnabas, what should i manually configure the IP settings to? | 00:58 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: Okay thanks. | 00:59 |
| dsnyders | When I log in using KDE or XFCE, my screen is normal. When I log in using Gnome I get an error message from my monitor: Input not supported. How do I fix this? | 00:59 |
| peekay | Dunkirk, again? | 00:59 |

| raj | Typos_King: i will look into that thx | 00:59 |
| Typos_King | raj: or maybe ...... try other drivers? what ralink chipset do you have anyway? 9.1? | 00:59 |
| VaffanculoNostra | My boss has let me know that I am an idiot for letting him do this. :( | 00:59 |
| Dunkirk | peekay, Sorry, I meant that for raj. | 00:59 |
| morph_ | can someone answer a question for me | 00:59 |
| Dunkirk | bipolar, Looks like dpkg-preconfigure? | 01:00 |
| dsnyders | morph_, nobody can answer a question that has not been asked. | 01:00 |
| morph_ | ok | 01:00 |
| GeekSquid | !ask |morph_ | 01:00 |
| ubottu | morph_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 01:00 |
| morph_ | i install ubuntu | 01:00 |
| morph_ | im on an iMac OSX | 01:00 |
| koolguy | hey everyone | 01:00 |
| Barnabas | humoi, you should manually enter an ip address outside the addres scope of your dhcp server | 01:00 |
| morph_ | so im dual booting | 01:00 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: I'm not sure the opinion of a boss at a company in chapter 11 holds much weight. What's he an expert at? | 01:00 |
| morph_ | when i lselect ubuntu to go into | 01:00 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: I'll check that out. thanks! | 01:00 |
| humoi | !enter | morph_ | 01:00 |
| ubottu | morph_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:00 |
| raj | Typos_King its abelkin card with Rlink chipset not sure.. but when i type sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 36M it gives me the optimum speed i shoudl be getting. yes im using ubuntu 9.10 | 01:00 |
| morph_ | it goes to a black screen that says grub_rescue | 01:00 |
| Barnabas | so you need to figure out what the IP dhcp address config for your land is | 01:00 |
| Barnabas | LAN is | 01:00 |
| morph_ | ok let me try again | 01:00 |
| koolguy | im on a dell inspiron 1501, and need to reset my wireless on the beta of ubuntu 10.04 | 01:01 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Losha: Expert at running an ISP on $400 emachines servers, apparently. | 01:01 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Steve`_` | ||
| joineric | Losha: i edited the interfaces and rebooted and still no luck | 01:01 |
| Barnabas | humoi, that would be configured in your router | 01:01 |
| Steve`_` | man | 01:01 |
| humoi | Barnabas, a local address? | 01:01 |
| bazhang | koolguy, lucid support in #ubuntu+1 | 01:01 |
| Steve`_` | i am right on the edge of switching from windows 7 to ubuntu or possibly kubuntu | 01:01 |
| morph_ | im on an iMac running OSX, when i install ubuntu and select it to boot into it goes to a black screen and that just says "grub_rescue" | 01:01 |
| koolguy | lol ok | 01:01 |
| morph_ | that is my problem | 01:01 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: unfortunately, it seems dpkg-preconfigure still pops up the question to ask. :( | 01:01 |
| humoi | Barnabas, what do you mean that would be configured by my router? | 01:01 |
| GeekSquid | morph_: ? using bootcamp? | 01:01 |
| Barnabas | humoi, perhaps your router is able to issue a fixed ip to a single pc ever time it logs on (static ip) and restrict internet access for it | 01:02 |
| morph_ | yes | 01:02 |
| morph_ | tried just from CD too | 01:02 |
| morph_ | tried rEFit | 01:02 |
| Typos_King | raj: why don't you just add in an init.d script then, so it's done at bootup | 01:02 |
| === bonnie_away is now known as bonnie | ||
| Dunkirk | bipolar, :-( I'd like to see the answer too. | 01:02 |
| Barnabas | humoi, do you know about dhcp? | 01:02 |
| humoi | Barnabas, great but how would i do that | 01:02 |
| morph_ | no | 01:02 |
| === bonnie is now known as acovrig | ||
| Typos_King | raj: I think you can even add it to /etc/profile | 01:02 |
| humoi | Barnabas, all i know is that it automatically assigns public ips | 01:02 |
| raj | Typos_King: how do you do that? that is what im trying to do. but i never added any script at startup | 01:03 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: I can do it with a preseed, but thats during installation. :\ | 01:03 |
| Barnabas | humoi, not public ips it assigns an available IP on your subnet to a computer for a certain lease | 01:03 |
| morph_ | also these are the settings i use: sda3(partition ubuntu is installed on) i selected ext4, reformat, and mount point / on grub i select sda3 since thats what ubuntu is on Barnabas | 01:03 |
| zetheroo | a friend of mine tried to install a scanner driver and app through WINE ... this would not have worked right? I mean, is WINE capable of installing and running device drivers? | 01:03 |
| Typos_King | raj: try giving it to /etc/profile without the sudo, since that'd be a rooted process anyhow | 01:03 |
| axisys | anyone here starts vbox VM with upstart? i am looking for an example to start guest VM when host reboots | 01:03 |
| Dunkirk | raj, I still think /etc/rc.local is your answer. Whatever commands are in it are run as the last thing at startup. | 01:03 |
| donvito | !cccam | 01:04 |
| dsnyders | Typos_King, Isn't there a file in /etc/networking/scripts or something that raj can use to set the network card parameters? | 01:04 |
| morph_ | Barnabas: i also installed debian earlier with no problems | 01:04 |
| humoi | Barnabas, i apologise for my ignorance of networking but does subnet mean your lan? | 01:04 |
| humoi | Barnabas, can we pm? | 01:04 |
| Losha | VaffanculoNostra: not quite an expert apparently. But back to topic, one of the recovery tools *might* work, I've had good luck using EASUS to recover files from an ext3 disk when nothing else would work (though it's a bit weird cos you have to run it from windows). Otherwise, you just have to let the fsck run to completion and hope the result is readable, and there's no guarantee that it will be... | 01:04 |
| Barnabas | yes the network you have in your home on the inside of your router | 01:04 |
| raj | Dunkirk: i will try both and see which one will start up after reboot :) | 01:04 |
| morph_ | Barnabas: did u see what i said | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | dsnyders.... think so | 01:05 |
| morph_ | about how i set it up | 01:05 |
| Barnabas | humoi, do you have access to your router config | 01:05 |
| humoi | Barnabas, yes. | 01:05 |
| Losha | joineric: sorry, I'm kinda tired and need a break. You must be pretty close though... | 01:05 |
| niblz | best virtualization for 64bit guest os quad core cpu | 01:05 |
| Dunkirk | dsnyders, That sounds more elegant... | 01:05 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: got it. | 01:06 |
| bipolar | Dunkirk: echo "sun-java6-bin shared/accepted-sun-dlj-v1-1 select true" | sudo debconf-set-selections | 01:06 |
| Dunkirk | niblz, KVM is fastest, esp if your Linux on Linux. | 01:06 |
| raj | dsnyders: i will open it with gedit and see if i can edit anything | 01:06 |
| Dunkirk | bipolar, Awesome! Thanks! | 01:06 |
| GeekSquid | nibiz: running a 64bit ubuntu host? | 01:06 |
| Barnabas | humoi, I think the easiest would be to make a static IP assignment to the pc in question and restrict ip access in the router | 01:06 |
| morph_ | Barnabas: pm? | 01:06 |
| humoi | Barnabas, what ip should i assign it? | 01:07 |
| jadakren | Barnabas, last modem router i had wasnt that good and didn't allow for assigning an ip to a machine per mac address which is waht you really need to prevent someone getting around access restrictions based on ip address | 01:07 |
| Barnabas | ip access = internet access | 01:07 |
| humoi | Barnabas, what ip should i assign it? | 01:07 |
| dsnyders | Dunkirk, Typos_King, raj, Unfortunately I don't remember enough about it to be able to help directly. I remember editing those on one of my machines for my wired lan long ago though. | 01:07 |
| Barnabas | jadakren, yes | 01:07 |
| Barnabas | agree | 01:07 |
| Barnabas | modern routers can do that | 01:07 |
| joineric | Losha: yeah i appreciate it, i need a break myself, im to the point where i think its something simple and when i find it im going to have one of "those" moments, thanks for your help | 01:07 |
| dsnyders | I don't know if they have settings for wireless stuff stored there. | 01:07 |
| Dunkirk | jadakren, MAC addresses can be spoofed. | 01:08 |
| humoi | !who | Barnabas | 01:08 |
| ubottu | Barnabas: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 01:08 |
| jadakren | Barnabas, one would assume so but this however was a modern router and could not. | 01:08 |
| jadakren | Dunkirk, true, but a good router can see through that. | 01:08 |
| raj | dsnyders, i will take a look :) i wont touch anything i dont understand :) | 01:08 |
| ioudas2 | I have a ubuntu 8.04 32 bit install I have installed apache enabled mod_rewrite and installed php5. Whenever I go to the site no mod rewrite rules seem to work. Does any one have any ideas? None of my google searches seem to make rewrite work. | 01:08 |
| morph_ | this channel seems to busy to get help | 01:08 |
| Dunkirk | jadakren, Does "good" = "not bought at a local store for less than $3000?" | 01:08 |
| morph_ | is there a help channel | 01:08 |
| dsnyders | raj, solid plan. A bit of googling might help as well. | 01:09 |
| VaffanculoNostra | Well, the boss has screwed everything up by running the recovery CD from Emachines on the server. | 01:09 |
| VaffanculoNostra | It's reimaging the drive, so all bets are off :( | 01:09 |
| GeekSquid | loudas2: are you using mpm-prefork? and shohusin patch? | 01:09 |
| humoi | Barnabas, can you please help me | 01:09 |
| jp-- | hi guys | 01:09 |
| humoi | can anyone please tell me how do you turn networking on without turning internet on? | 01:10 |

| morph_ | im still waiting for Barnabas too humoi | 01:10 |
| jp-- | there's no much info on internet | 01:10 |
| jp-- | 3 google pages | 01:10 |
| jp-- | and all unressolved | 01:10 |
| zetheroo | is WINE capable of installing and running device drivers? | 01:10 |
| Dunkirk | ioudas2, Look at a2enmod, I think. | 01:10 |
| dsnyders | humoi, what are you using on your network, ipx? LAT? | 01:10 |
| humoi | dsnyders, a router. | 01:11 |
| GeekSquid | humoi: assign a static IP address, and do not put in a gateway... you will have networking from IP to IP or Host to Host on your network but you will not have access to the internet | 01:11 |
| humoi | GeekSquid, ok thanks a lot. what static ip should i assign it? | 01:12 |
| dsnyders | humoi, what are you trying to accomplish? | 01:12 |
| Barnabas | morph, I do not pretend to have an answer for your problem | 01:12 |
| jp-- | THANKS | 01:12 |
| jp-- | :) | 01:12 |
| morph_ | i just need help | 01:12 |
| GeekSquid | humoi: either 192.168.1.xxx or 10.0.1.xxx the second one for airport only | 01:12 |
| morph_ | i installed ubuntu before just fine | 01:13 |
| humoi | GeekSquid, ok thanks | 01:13 |
| morph_ | directed to you Barnabas | 01:13 |
| john | hello group first time here just loaded yup ubuntu and love it | 01:13 |
| Joeseph | Hi. I'm trying to boot into Ubuntu on a Toshiba satellite s1135-s135. After selecing "Try ubuntu without any changes...", it goes to a blank screen with a black cursor, and nothing happens. Any ideas? | 01:13 |
| john | I need help in drivers for my vid card | 01:13 |
| niblz | Dunkirk: win7 64 bit | 01:14 |
| humoi | GeekSquid, do you assign a net mask? | 01:14 |
| Dunkirk | Joeseph, Do you have a second monitor hooked up? | 01:14 |
| Joeseph | Dunkirk: No. | 01:14 |
| GeekSquid | humoi: 255.255.255.0 | 01:14 |
| Typos_King | Joeseph: try pressing F6 for boot options, and check acpi=off noapic | 01:14 |
| dsnyders | humoi, you could use 172.16.x.y to 172.31.x.y as well. | 01:14 |
| Barnabas | morph_ the disk is not enough in grub, you should also consider the partition you wish to boot from | 01:15 |
| Barnabas | and that partition should have a boot sector | 01:15 |
| morph_ | hat do u mean? | 01:15 |
| morph_ | i used bootcamp | 01:15 |
| Dunkirk | humoi, Careful... you have to get the mask right for that to work... | 01:15 |
| pedrohoffmann | volume doesn't implement mount ? trying to mount with gvfs | 01:15 |
| morph_ | 17GB | 01:15 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: What will that do? I'm rebooting now and will give it a try. | 01:15 |
| morph_ | Barnabas: is that not enough space or somethjing | 01:16 |
| Dunkirk | Joeseph, Your LCD isn't being detected correctly. He's suggesting turning off the stuff that guesses at it wrongly. | 01:16 |
| sirninja | Is there a program that's good for organizing tv shows on ubuntu? (Something similar to music brainz picard but for tv shows)? | 01:16 |
| Typos_King | Joeseph: will bypass the acpi module which might have a hardware compatibility issue | 01:16 |
| morph_ | im kinda new to that stufff i duno what a boot sector is | 01:16 |
| john | group when you have time I too can use some help ok I will wait | 01:16 |
| Barnabas | morph, could you post your disk config on pastebin? | 01:17 |
| morph_ | can u walk me through it? | 01:17 |
| morph_ | i deleted the partition btw already | 01:17 |
| Dunkirk | morph_, Your BIOS hands off the booting to the hard drives Master Boot Record (MBR), that, in turn, hands off to the partition's Boot Sector. | 01:17 |
| morph_ | i dont have BIOS | 01:17 |
| Barnabas | morph if you deleted the partion you probably cannot boot of it | 01:17 |
| morph_ | rEFit changes the MBR to a copy of GFT | 01:18 |
| Barnabas | morph all pcs have a BIOS | 01:18 |
| Dunkirk | morph_, Well, basecamp better provide it, or you're not going to get Ubuntu booted. | 01:18 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: It seems to be working... Thanks, I'll probably be asking a few more questions. | 01:18 |
| morph_ | basecamp Dunkirk ? | 01:18 |
| Dunkirk | morph_, I thought you were the guy on the iMac... | 01:18 |
| sirninja | He probably meant bootcamp, not basecamp | 01:19 |
| Dunkirk | sirninja, OOps. Indeed. | 01:19 |
| Barnabas | aww a mac | 01:19 |
| Barnabas | well still | 01:19 |
| morph_ | yea | 01:19 |
| morph_ | i used bootcamp | 01:19 |
| Barnabas | if the partition is deleted there will be no booting | 01:19 |
| morph_ | i have no problem making a new partition | 01:19 |
| morph_ | and reinstalling | 01:19 |
| morph_ | as long as i can get it loading | 01:19 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: Ok. There's a wubi install already on the disk. How can I boot that version with those options? | 01:19 |
| sirninja | Does anybody know a program like music brainz picard but for TV shows? | 01:20 |
| morph_ | Barnabas: http://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html | 01:20 |

| dsnyders | When I log in using KDE or XFCE, my screen is normal. When I log in using Gnome I get an error message from my monitor: Input not supported. How do I fix this? | 01:20 |
| Barnabas | morph, you need to ask someone else about the mac bios emulator thinge | 01:20 |

| Dunkirk | dsnyders, Does this sound right? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=420677 | 01:23 |
| IceDane | Also, can someone tell me what's going on with the sounds when tab-completing stuff in a terminal? It's not the beep, as it's muted | 01:24 |
| antonio_ | tanks | 01:24 |
| ocesno | no support for 054c:00c0 Sony Corp. Handycam DCR-30 :( my minidv for webcam | 01:25 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, You're talking about the "bell"? | 01:25 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: It could be that, yes | 01:25 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: Yes. There is an install on there that was installed via Wubi. However, it does not boot... It boots into Windows instead. I was wondering if there was a way to configure that system with those properties you told me earlier. | 01:25 |
| IceDane | Is there a process running that does it? Cause it's actually locking my sound up if it sounds and tries to play a song.. | 01:26 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, It's still a "bell", even if it's muted. Under some sessions it can flash the screen. You may want to set the bell-style to none in xinputrc. Or something. I always have to google that. | 01:26 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, What's your sound card? | 01:26 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: Some realtek(alc268), using hda intel drivers | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | Joeseph: .....iirc a wubi installs on a fat32 partition.... not sure how that works.... you mean... you lost grub that was loading the win32 and the wubi installs? | 01:27 |
| donvito | were can i get cccam for ubuntu 9.10 | 01:27 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, Maybe there's a way to "dpkg-reconfigure" some alsa / pulseaudio stuff that will take advantage of the fact that you upgraded? I'm guessing. | 01:28 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: When the windows boot menu comes up, it shows Ubuntu and windows, but Ubuntu just stalls first, then boots into Windows. | 01:28 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: I reinstalled completely | 01:28 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, That answers that. :-/ | 01:28 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: Which is why I'm pretty baffled. I'm still getting strange 'sound takeovers' | 01:29 |
| IceDane | I assumed pulseaudio would have taken care of all this stuff | 01:29 |
| IceDane | But it seems every program that uses sound takes complete control of it for the duration, and some time after depending on how long it takes to release resources | 01:29 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, Yeah, but not everything's been converted to use it yet. :-( | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | Joeseph is the wubi install on a different partition than the win32? | 01:29 |
| IceDane | perhaps not | 01:29 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: how do I know if I'm even using it? | 01:29 |
| niko-mojo | Hi room, Anyone know how to get this command working echo -e '\a' , its supposed to produce a beep but does nothing :-( | 01:30 |
| IceDane | I mean, in alsamixer, or anywhere else, I see nothing about it | 01:30 |
| niko-mojo | Using 9.04 gnome | 01:30 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: No. It's on the same partition. There's nothing on it, so I could just get rid of it If I need to. | 01:30 |
| IceDane | I don't understand it all to owell | 01:30 |
| dsnyders | Dunkirk, I'm not sure. I don't see how an xorg setting would affect gnome but not kde. | 01:30 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, Good question. I'm a recent convert from Gentoo, and, there, I used to just eliminate pulseaudio from my system entirely. | 01:30 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: Yeah.. That's what I tried to do last time, before reisntalling completely | 01:31 |
| jnarowski | Hey all | 01:31 |
| IceDane | I started by thinking "Okay, the reason sound is so strange is because some stuff is using pulseaudio and some is using alsa directly, or because pulseaudio isn't there completely" or some such, it wasn't really empirically supported | 01:31 |
| IceDane | So I tried setting up pulseaudio completely, that broke everything | 01:31 |
| jnarowski | I am about to setup a ROR web server and I am wondering what is the best Ubuntu distro for that | 01:31 |
| IceDane | I tried reverting my steps, it broke even more stuff | 01:32 |
| IceDane | I tried removing pulseaudio entirely, and it broke sound to smithereens | 01:32 |
| unop | niko-mojo, 1. your terminal has to support this action. 2. you might need to enable the bell in the terminal's settings. 3. you might need to load the 'pcspkr' kernel module (sudo modprobe pcspkr). | 01:32 |
| Joeseph | Typos_King: Actually, I think The Wubi has been uninstalled... I'll play around with it a little longer. Thanks for the help. | 01:32 |
| jnarowski | does anybody have any suggestions? I am not really clear on the differences | 01:33 |
| john | Hi again | 01:33 |
| sirninja | Does anybody know a program to help organize tv shows? | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | Joeseph: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Cannot boot into Ubuntu <--- in case that helps | 01:33 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: So, I don't think removing pulseaudio will be such a good idea.. I just tried playing sound through pulseaudio in VLC, and it's lagging to utter s**t. | 01:33 |
| ectropy | How do open a new konsole with read/write access? | 01:33 |
| Dunkirk | jnarowski, I saw that there was a whole Ubuntu sub-variant just for RoR applications. I don't remember the name, tho. | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | ectropy a console with r/w ? heheh,isn't it so by default? :) | 01:34 |
| niko-mojo | @unop did both of those things - still nothing | 01:34 |
| jnarowski | I am using slicehost and have the option of 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 | 01:34 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, What desktop environment do you run? | 01:34 |
| unop | niko-mojo, i mentioned 3 things tho :) | 01:34 |
| magn3ts | Ubuntu keeps regressing and using an old X11 pointer, also a particular X11 mouse theme fails to show up in the mouse point selection dialog and I can only apply it by deleting it from ~/.icons and reinstalling it (I must select "Use this theme" otherwise I have to restart since I can't select it) | 01:34 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: Fluxbox - think it might affect it? | 01:34 |
| jnarowski | harty intrepid jaunty and karmic | 01:35 |
| Chaiwalla | hello people | 01:35 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, Well, I was just going to say that, if you were running Gnome, I'd go for installing MORE gstreamer stuff, not taking stuff out. | 01:35 |
| niko-mojo | @unop so you did, how do I know if its supported | 01:35 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, But I'm not sure if Flux is as "plugged" into gstreamer as Gnome. | 01:35 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: God this seems strange, all of it, heh.. | 01:35 |
| ectropy | not when konsole --noclose --real-transparency -e "scrpt_that_uses_read_and_write" , Typos_King | 01:36 |
| Dunkirk | IceDane, I agree. I've been through many of these types of switchovers in Linux land over the years. It sucks if you get caught out. | 01:36 |
| IceDane | Dunkirk: I'll just ask on ubuntuforums or something - thanks for the help. | 01:37 |
| Dunkirk | magn3ts, You might try something about "update-alternatives" and x-cursor-theme. | 01:38 |
| Typos_King | ectropy: you get the r/w access of whatever runlevel you're on, as far as running konsole, you can just run 'konsole' and that'd work fine for either on the current runlevel | 01:38 |
| * Typos_King dashes | 01:38 | |
| magn3ts | Dunkirk, weird, "update-alternatives --config x-cursor-theme" doesn't list themes I've installed into ~ | 01:39 |
| magn3ts | Dunkirk, I could try instaling them manually | 01:39 |
| Dunkirk | magn3ts, Oh, yeah, that only controls the system-wide stuff. Have you installed the local stuff trhough the gnome panel for themes? | 01:39 |
| magn3ts | Dunkirk, yes. | 01:39 |
| Dunkirk | magn3ts, I'm guessing that the two control schemes are conflicting. Ubuntu being helpful and all. | 01:40 |

| Dunkirk | niblz, You'll be wanting libvirt and VIRT-MANAGER. It's the bomb. | 01:41 |
| magn3ts | Dunkirk, this has to be a gnome bug or something. Even after installing to /usr/local/icons it doesn't work | 01:41 |
| niko-mojo | Has anyone got the terminal bell working in 9.04 ? | 01:41 |
| magn3ts | Dunkirk, Other mouse themes work fine when installing through gnome-appearance | 01:41 |
| Dunkirk | magn3ts, I'd buy that. _-/ | 01:41 |
| niblz | Dunkirk: is that part of kvm | 01:42 |
| GeekSquid | magn3ts: you might try running gconf-editor go a little deeper into your settings, it may take a little while to find where the conflict is | 01:42 |
| Dunkirk | niblz, No. It's a GUI management util that runs on your desktop that can (over SSH, for instance) talk to the libvirt daemon, and start, stop, even migrate VM's on the host. | 01:43 |
| magn3ts | Its not a conflict though, its just a problem of gnome-appearance not recognizing it as a valid theme. That and I have no idea why I can use chromium for an hour with the correct iamges displayed, but when I leave and come back, when I'm in hte browser pane it switches back to the default icons | 01:43 |
| Whille | \o/ | 01:43 |
| Tiniar_Mortas | oO | 01:43 |
| Dunkirk | niblz, You have to install it separately, but, again, on your management machine. It's a GUI, and you may not have X installed on your server. But it could all be the same machine. | 01:44 |

I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft, but after copying the install over and trying to run it, I got a ton of errors in the terminal. After that, I removed the openGL line as suggested in the troubleshooting page, but now I get an error from WoW. However, I'm stuck - can't use the repair utility and the installer won't work (I don't have CDs). | 02:28 |
| message144 | GeekSquid, ok | 02:28 |
| message144 | GeekSquid, thanks for your help | 02:28 |
| Siph0n | Jordan_U, because this isnt an install? my username is ubuntu.... my / only has 3MB left... the /cdrom (my flash drive) has 14GB left | 02:28 |
| dsnyders | Bllasae, That was mean... I like it. | 02:28 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: I'd take asterisk out of init.d ... run it in a terminal so you can watch what is going on... you might find out why it is crunching your CPU | 02:29 |
| Bllasae | dsnyders: thanks :P | 02:29 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, understand your point, but the current ubuntu version is also broken ... is there an earlier liek 1.6.1 verison I can install ? | 02:29 |
| Jordan_U | Siph0n, I mean, you don't have a hard drive / flash drive / blank CD to install to? | 02:30 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, is the correct way, jsut to remove asterisk file from the /etc/init.d directory ? | 02:30 |
| Siph0n | Jordan_U, hard drive I cant use... its my works hard drive lol | 02:31 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: second question yes... lemme find the earlier version | 02:31 |
| Siph0n | rather use a flash drive lol | 02:31 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, thanks, and since I installed curretn version form source, I guess I need to know how to downgrade to what you find | 02:32 |

| Jordan_U | hipitihop, However you install make sure that you tell the installer to install grub to the flash drive ( it installs to the first hard drive by default ) | 02:34 |
| greezmunkey | acovrig, did you get an answer to your gmail question? | 02:34 |
| jpitts | I am attempting to install Desktop 9.1 onto a system with an Asus | 02:34 |
| jpitts | A8n-SLI motherboard, and 4 disks on the SATA bus. 2 of those disks | 02:34 |
| jpitts | are members of a mirror set. I have tried both using the advanced | 02:34 |
| jpitts | partitioning screen and the default wide and use entire disk methods | 02:34 |
| FloodBot3 | jpitts: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:34 |
| jpitts | to install the OS to one of the disks that is not part of the mirror, | 02:34 |
| jpitts | and which is configured in the BIOS to be primary in the boot | 02:34 |
| dsnyders | When I log in using KDE or XFCE, my screen is normal. When I log in using Gnome I get an error message from my monitor: Input not supported. How do I fix this? | 02:34 |
| jpitts | sorry about that. copy and past grossness. | 02:34 |
| acovrig | greezmunkey, no; u got an answer? | 02:34 |
| Jordan_U | dsnyders, Log into a failsafe gnome session and change the default resolution to something your monitor supports | 02:35 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: I assume /usr/local/ or ~/asterisk/ is where you compiled from ... so safe to delete or rename... init.d/asterisk calls it so the new version called by the installed version would call the right binary | 02:35 |
| dsnyders | Jordan_U, It happens with failsafe gnome as well. | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | dsnyders, Or it can probably be changed in gconf-editor | 02:35 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: what version of ubuntu? | 02:35 |
| Andys^ | Hi, how do you tell ubuntu not to try and "upgrade" your linux kernel automatically when it does all its updates? I am running an experimental kernel and don't want it to be overwritten | 02:35 |
| dsnyders | Jordan_U, I'll take a look at gconf-editor | 02:36 |
| ZauberExonar | Hey, a friend of mine has lost one of the task bars in GNOME, and she thinks it happened because she pressed the wrong button. Any idea on how to fix it? | 02:36 |
| grendal_prime | hey my mother got a new iphone but she only has an ubuntu 804 laptop. She needs to sync it and update the os..is this possible? | 02:36 |
| iceroot | Andys^: the kernel is not overwritten | 02:36 |
| jpitts | was my question truncated? do i need to re-post it? | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | !reset-panel | ZauberExonar | 02:36 |
| ZauberExonar | Jordan_U: how do you do that? | 02:36 |
| GeekSquid | grendal_prime: you will need jailbreak your iphone for ubuntu to access it | 02:36 |
| Andys^ | iceroot: I saw it trying to do download and install a new kernel when running Update Manager | 02:36 |
| iceroot | Andys^: all kernels goes to /boot | 02:36 |
| Flannel | Jordan_U: In the future, don't use so many lines. It makes it difficult to read | 02:37 |
| iceroot | Andys^: yes, and the old kernels are still there | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | !resetpanel | ZauberExonar | 02:37 |
| ubottu | ZauberExonar: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 02:37 |
| Flannel | jpitts: In the future, don't use so many lines. It makes it difficult to read | 02:37 |
| ubuntu | !shell | 02:37 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 02:37 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, untared to home, so yes ~/asterisk-1.6.2.4 | 02:37 |
| ZauberExonar | ubottu: and if she can't reach a terminal? | 02:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:37 |
| Andys^ | iceroot: so you reckon its OK to let it go? if it boots the old kernel my PC will become unusable :( (lack of hardware support) | 02:37 |
| ubuntu | !shellme | 02:37 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, karmic | 02:37 |
| ZauberExonar | ubottu: I think she lost the bar with the applications menu | 02:37 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:37 |
| iceroot | Andys^: then choose in grub which kernel to boot | 02:37 |
| jpitts | Flannel: apologies. | 02:37 |
| Flannel | jpitts: No worries, just trying to help you get help :) | 02:38 |
| iceroot | Andys^: they are all in /boot have a look there | 02:38 |
| greezmunkey | acovrig, well I know the Gmail uses pop to recieve, so pop.gmail.com to get your mail; And it uses smtp for you to send, so smtp.gmail.com. Use ssl and you should be good! :) good luck. | 02:38 |
| ubuntu | reboot | 02:38 |
| Andys^ | ok.. will grub boot the newest by default? | 02:38 |
| Flannel | Andys^: Yes | 02:38 |
| anandre | Installing Ubuntu on a Windows machine so it can dual-boot seems to be pretty easy. How hard is it to install Windows on an Ubuntu machine and have it dual-boot? | 02:38 |
| iceroot | Andys^: yes unless you change the config | 02:38 |
| Andys^ | cool | 02:38 |
| Andys^ | thanks | 02:38 |

| netherwolfe | if you install windows on an ubuntu machine you'll have to reinstall grub to get it to work | 02:39 |
| hipitihop | anandre, if you have enough memory I'd suggest installing ubuntu and running windoze inside virtualbox | 02:39 |
| netherwolfe | windows will setup up it's own master boot record | 02:39 |
| greezmunkey | acovrig, I think there are pleanty of examples of scripting mail format out there, you should be able to kype one and modify it for your use. | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | anandre, Basically you need to resize the Ubuntu install with a linux LiveCD, then install windows, then re-install grub since windows will clobber it. | 02:39 |
| dmaxx | how can i find out if a 3th party is monitoring the net connection(like ftp/IM/web and all that goes trough the net) | 02:39 |
| anandre | So basically I'm better off installing Windows and then re-installing Ubuntu? | 02:39 |
| blakkheim | dmaxx: are you on your own home connection? | 02:39 |
| dmaxx | yeah | 02:40 |
| anandre | hipitihop: what kind of memory? RAM? | 02:40 |
| iceroot | are there big difference between vanilla-kernel and the ubuntu-one? (of course same kernel-version) | 02:40 |
| acovrig | I thought so too, but couldn't find one that worked with the secutiry :( | 02:40 |
| blakkheim | dmaxx: then probably no one is. why do you think someone is? | 02:40 |
| hipitihop | anandre, yes .. e.g. if you want to give windows 1gb and leave another for ubuntu | 02:40 |
| anandre | Well, I have 8gb of RAM, so I think that'd be enough heh. | 02:40 |
| waltercool | is lucid stable? | 02:41 |
| blakkheim | no | 02:41 |
| iceroot | waltercool: no | 02:41 |
| candy | cyberink power dvd for ubuntu 9.10... link to download plz | 02:41 |
| hipitihop | anandre, I'm sorry for jumping in and sending you off on a tangent ... I'm not even sure for what you want to use windows, is it for gaming ? | 02:41 |
| coz_ | waltercool, definitly not...I have it installed on another system | 02:41 |
| dmaxx | blakkheim let just say that i suspect some goverment people is on it xD | 02:41 |
| Lachance | waltercool, not for a while longer. Would you like a copy of the release schedule? | 02:41 |
| axisys | i installed apt-get install rubygems1.8 .. but it does not find gems | 02:41 |
| coz_ | waltercool, although it's not bad | 02:41 |
| iceroot | candy: google lindvd that is the ubuntu-version | 02:41 |
| anandre | hipitihop: yes. I can repost my initial problem if you want. | 02:41 |
| coz_ | waltercool, there are issues | 02:41 |
| iceroot | candy: but you can just install libdvdcss2 | 02:41 |
| blakkheim | dmaxx: then they probably are. tunnel all your traffic through ssh to a remote system that you believe to be unmonitored | 02:41 |
| Lachance | waltercool, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 02:41 |
| GeekSquid | anandre: you don't need dual boot ... you could run 3 copies of windows 7 within ubuntu simultainously without slowing down... virtual of course | 02:42 |
| acovrig | I tried fetchmail and getmail, and it didn't work | 02:42 |
| waltercool | coz_, I like testing things... but i dont like when a system is fully crashed | 02:42 |
| coz_ | candy in terminal * | 02:42 |
| coz_ | sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 02:42 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, so this is a testing/later version of the nromal repository version ? | 02:42 |
| iceroot | waltercool: unstable does not mean its crashing all the time | 02:42 |
| waltercool | Lachance, Is 'useable'? | 02:42 |
| candy | ?? | 02:42 |
| waltercool | iceroot, My last time with lucid was terrible | 02:42 |
| kaz00 | anyone have any experience using ndiswrapper for windows USB drivers... this is not for wifi access, but usb drive access | 02:42 |
| iceroot | waltercool: please use ubuntu+1 for 10.04 | 02:42 |
| acovrig | greezmunkey, I want to send a sms to an email address (gmail is what I'm using) and have my computer filter my messages and execute the mesage body | 02:42 |
| anandre | So now to find out about this virtual box business. | 02:43 |
| dmaxx | ok^^ but blakkheim do it exsist a software that can see if u connection get picket up??(i know about wireshark buuut) | 02:43 |
| iceroot | waltercool: /join #ubuntu+1 | 02:43 |
| coz_ | waltercool, well it isnt crashing but it is in alpha state right now..so anything can happen from now till the end of April | 02:43 |
| Lachance | waltercool, Lucid is usable, of course. =) But unless you're quite Linux-savvy you might end up with considerably less hair than you started with. | 02:43 |
| waltercool | iceroot, ok | 02:43 |
| Dill | does anyone out there know how to install the Remote Desktop app for the NBR? | 02:43 |
| avemaria | i want to password protect certain applications how to do that | 02:43 |
| blakkheim | dmaxx: if someone is monitoring you (your isp for example) there won't be any clear way for you to notice (thats the point) | 02:43 |
| axisys | i should have looks for gem instead of gems .. found it | 02:43 |
| dmaxx | oh okey | 02:43 |
| dawning | I need to capture an image from a v4l device and dump it in to a file, so like "program_name /dev/video0 -output=filename.png" - know of anything like this? | 02:43 |
| blakkheim | dmaxx: basically, encrypt everything | 02:44 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: 1:1.6.2.0~rc2-0ubuntu1.1 is the latest in repo... the testing probably has a little more work done to it | 02:44 |
| dmaxx | ok | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | avemaria, What applications and why? | 02:44 |
| jpitts | dmaxx: there is no inherent 'trace' left when someone monitors a tcp/ip stream | 02:44 |
| waltercool | Lachance, Uhmm... i just want use a system without crashes like my last time with lucid (X crash) | 02:44 |
| anandre | GeekSquid, which virtual box app should I get? virtualbox-ose? | 02:44 |
| coz_ | avemaria, I know you can password protect files and directories and databases... which applications do you want password protection for? | 02:44 |
| greezmunkey | acovrig, well I gave you what you need to send out to gmail, the rest is up to you! Sorry I can't be of any further help! | 02:44 |
| GeekSquid | anandre: I use the closed source version ... but either will work | 02:44 |
| avemaria | jordan: its accounting application and i dont want anybody to use that application even if they have the laptop | 02:44 |
| Lachance | waltercool, Then use Karmic Koala, which is our current stable Ubuntu release. | 02:44 |
| dmaxx | put is't it possib 2 send a "tracker" 2 see where connections goes?? | 02:45 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, so just following normal ppa and then apt install will replace what I have or do I need more involved downgrade/removal ? | 02:45 |
| acovrig | greezmunkey, thanks | 02:45 |
| avemaria | Jordan: sometimes frnds use the laptop so i need to paswd. protect it thats all | 02:45 |
| anandre | GeekSquid, I just did a search in the package manager for virtual box. I'm none too savvy with Ubuntu, but I got fed up with Windows crashing. | 02:45 |
| iceroot | avemaria: not possible | 02:45 |
| jpitts | dmaxx: what might such a tracker do? | 02:45 |
| Jordan_U | avemaria, If it's really the data rather than the application you care about look into the guest session feature | 02:45 |
| iceroot | avemaria: not possible to protect applications you installed with apt-get | 02:45 |
| waltercool | Lachance, Yes, im using karmic, but i wanna use some apps of gnome 2.30 | 02:45 |
| coz_ | avemaria, run the application under another user name | 02:45 |
| GeekSquid | anandre: yeah.. install it and run ... and you will be able to setup a win guest | 02:45 |
| coz_ | avemaria, tell no one about that user :) | 02:46 |
| avemaria | you mean to say change the permissions | 02:46 |
| Jordan_U | iceroot, That's not quite true, there is just no standard way. | 02:46 |
| anandre | GeekSquid, do I need a copy of Windows to install for virtualbox to use or does it create one? | 02:46 |
| dmaxx | jpitts just 2 confirm if it's other people that sould or not | 02:46 |
| avemaria | if yes, then if change its grp and owner to root then is should ask for password? | 02:46 |
| coz_ | avemaria, create another user account ...install the applicatoin on that... i doubt its database will be accessible from the previous user account or at least shouldnt be | 02:46 |
| avemaria | okay | 02:47 |
| sha0 | ubottu: Files in package | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 02:47 |
| avemaria | coz:thanks | 02:47 |
| GeekSquid | anandre: you will need a copy of windows and a COA ... just like installing windows, just in a virtual harddrive | 02:47 |
| anandre | GeekSquid, COA? | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | avemaria, Do you really care about the application or is it just the *data* that that application can access? | 02:47 |
| coz_ | avemaria, let me know if that works for you | 02:47 |
| sha0 | Good day. I installed gsnes9x but have no idea what the binary is... How do I see which files were installed, if you please? | 02:47 |
| dawning | How can I grab a snapshot from my webcam from the command line (it's a v4l device, I'd like a png)?? | 02:48 |
| GeekSquid | anandre: Certificate of authenticity... the codes that come with windows that allow you to install | 02:48 |
| trism | sha0: dpkg -L gsnes9x; will list all the files installed | 02:48 |
| avemaria | sure, but how do i migrate the existing data | 02:48 |
| sha0 | trism: dpkg. Thanks so much! | 02:48 |
| candy | iceroot, is it available in syanptic manager? | 02:48 |
| Jordan_U | avemaria, Do you really care about the application or is it just the *data* that that application can access? ( please answer this question, because it it's the data then there is a very easy and complete solution built into Ubuntu ) | 02:49 |
| coz_ | dawning, you could in install streamer and then the command should be streamer -f jpeg -o /path/to/image.jpeg | 02:49 |
| sha0 | trism: Wouldn't you know it's "GSnes9x". Thanks again. | 02:49 |
| hipitihop | anandre, any specific games you are trying to run on windows ?, because fair few can be run with WINE but if you have already eliminated that then I'm not sure running in a VM will help you much for gaming | 02:49 |
| dawning | coz_: Cool, thanks, I'll take a look | 02:49 |
| * sha0 smacks his forehead and bids all a farewell. | 02:49 | |
| jpitts | dmaxx: all your computer knows about your network traffic is what your gateway ( probably your router ) tells is. and all it knows is what your ISP tells it. and so on. any party in the middle could play any game they wanted to, and you would have no way of knowing. UNLESS you are using a secure protocol. | 02:49 |
| coz_ | dawning, and changer the format to .png but I have not tested that part | 02:49 |
| anandre | hipitihop, WoW specifically. | 02:49 |
| coz_ | dawning, just found this http://ubuntu.online02.com/node/25 | 02:50 |
| dmaxx | ok | 02:50 |
| kaji | evening folks! | 02:50 |
| anandre | I know it can be run in Wine because there's plenty of sites with instructions on how to do it, but I'm encountering errors trying to do it. | 02:50 |
| GeekSquid | kaji: hello friend | 02:50 |
| computer_ | how do i play m3u files? | 02:51 |
| avemaria | Jordan: its both the things data as well as application, when i think of this solution i.e create a new user i might not access all the other applications that i have installed within the existing user | 02:51 |

| daarthweezer6 | can someon help me with installing oblivion on ubuntu 9.10? I tried to install it via pol and it takes me to the play menu and when i hit play it shuts down | 02:52 |
| Nikyo | Has anyone seen or know of a problem with Ubuntu 9.10, where when you close a laptop, the laptop does not go into sleep or hibernate mode, just locks up with a black screen,please. | 02:52 |
| kaji | Got two issues I was hoping to get help with, one is getting the screen rotation to work with my lifebook p1510d, i found a post about it, but some of the files needed for it are gone. The second...and it's kinda crazy, but is there a way to get the fingerprint sensor working for login? (totallysuperflous, but fun) | 02:52 |
| coz_ | computer_, sudo apt-get install ubuntu -restrected-extras | 02:52 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, now, I think you missed a response for me :-) do I need to downgrade/remove before trying this testing ppa version ? | 02:52 |
| grendal_prime | anyone on the iphone ubuntu problem? | 02:52 |
| computer_ | did that already | 02:52 |
| anandre | hipitihop, here's a rather silly question. I installed Wine before realizing I should get Wine1.2. How do I check which I'm using (did Wine1.2 overwrite Wine)? | 02:53 |
| coz_ | computer_, but an m3u is just actually a playlist i believe | 02:53 |
| dawning | coz_: Cool, looks good.. Seems I'm having an annoying little apt problem I'll have to deal with in order to install that... | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | anandre: wine --version | 02:53 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: remove any installed version, remove /etc/init.d/asterisk ... then install the ppa version | 02:53 |

| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam__ | ||
| hipitihop | anandre, I uess that dpeends on how you installed. normaly you should be installing evrything via synaptic and it gets taken care of | 02:53 |
| coz_ | Ganymede, is this an upgraded system or a clean install? | 02:54 |
| coz_ | Ganymede, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 02:54 |
| Ganymede | coz_, upgraded system, from 9.04...back then my geforce 3 worked fine | 02:54 |
| anandre | hipitihop, I did it via sudo apt-get I think. Willis' command returned wine-1.1.31, which I would assume is not wine1.2? | 02:54 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, that takes care of init.d but whatabout all the guff the 'make' and make install does | 02:54 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, will teh ppa install version just sort that out ? or is there a correct way to remove an instlalation that was done from a source compile/install | 02:55 |
| Ganymede | coz_, actually, i'm not in front of this computer right now, i'm now deciding whether to buy an FX series card just for driver support, but i'm sure it was an NV20 | 02:55 |
| coz_ | Ganymede, ok and you installed from hardware drivers? | 02:55 |
| daarthweezer6 | if someone could help me with oblivion that would be great because I am fairly new to linux and am not quite sure how to do all the tweeking with the software yet | 02:55 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: that all happens within the working directory i.e. ~/asterisk1.6.xxxxx doesn't change anything outside of that directory | 02:55 |
| seanbrystone | im trying to copy my public key to my laptop, im able to copy it to my desktop, getting error: ERROR: NO identities found, what am i doing wrong? | 02:55 |
| hipitihop | anandre, apt-get is what synaptice uses underneath anyway so you would only have one version | 02:55 |
| anandre | hipitihop, never mind. Package manager says it's wine1.2 | 02:55 |
| Ganymede | coz_, yes, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96 or something...the automatic hardware detection thing did not suggest the driver for me | 02:56 |
| Ganymede | coz_, i assume it did not suggest the restricted driver because it knew 96 series did not work on ubuntu 9.10 | 02:56 |
| coz_ | Ganymede, ok you may want to go to either #ubuntu-x or #nvidia channels .... I dont have a card like that to test here | 02:56 |
| Ganymede | coz_, okay, thanks | 02:56 |
| jpitts | long install question (repeat) http://paste.ubuntu.com/384822/ | 02:56 |
| hipitihop | anandre, ok then you should be right to go | 02:56 |
| anandre | hipitihop, the Wowwiki link you gave me is more or less a link I posted earlier (which I was following). WoW still refuses to work for me though. :s | 02:57 |
| daarthweezer6 | actually be back soon finishing a movie. my email is ezrafink@freegeek.org if someone can email me the instructions | 02:57 |
| anandre | It boots up, goes to a black screen, and comes back with a whole bunch of stuff in the terminal and my screen resolution is now 800x600 instead of its normal value. | 02:57 |
| coz_ | jpitts, out of my experience with that one ...sorry | 02:57 |
| daarthweezer6 | thank you in advance :) | 02:57 |
| GeekSquid | jpitts: use LVM ... Logical Volume Managment ... it is a true raid0 .. so ubuntu needs to see it as that | 02:57 |

| GeekSquid | Roasted: what version of ubuntu? | 02:58 |
| Roasted | 9.10 | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: emerald is a dieing off project. - You basically download themes now from different sites. the 'repos' for the themes in the theme manager has been down for some time | 02:58 |
| coz_ | daarthweezer, did you look here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/oblivion:linux | 02:58 |
| xangua | Roasted: emerald --replace | 02:58 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, oh really? I wanst aware of that. | 02:59 |
| coz_ | from alt+F2 ^^ | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !emerald | 02:59 |
| 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. | 02:59 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, are the themes you get from gnome look and whatnot kind of taking over? | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: if it works for you use it if you want. But dont be suprised if more and more issues arise | 02:59 |
| seanbrystone | im trying to copy my public key to my laptop, im able to copy it to my desktop, getting error: ERROR: NO identities found, what am i doing wrong? | 02:59 |

| Dr_Willis | Roasted: emerald themes are not the same as gnome/metacity themes. | 02:59 |
| kaz00 | kaz | 03:00 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, is there a significant difference? | 03:00 |
| jpitts | GeekSquid: i am not sure it really is a true hardware raid after reading some things - i get the impression it is some weird driver-assisted 'thing'. in any case, it is a large, NTFS-formatted media storage volume, and i am unwilling to break the mirror. i am quite nervous about LVM. | 03:00 |
| coz_ | Roasted, right now there are only 2 supported window decorations supported by compiz gtk-window-decorator and kde4-window-decorator | 03:00 |
| hipitihop | anandre, ah sorry about that... there was some python script stuff about that automated a lot of this stuff, can't remeber the name of that now | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: the 2 progrms are differnt. some themes may look similer.. but its like asking how kde and gnome themes are related. :) | 03:00 |
| kaji | I need help getting the screen rotation to work with my lifebook p1510d, i found a post about it, but some of the files needed for it are gone, and I'm nowhere near special enough to figure these things out without somehelp from a G33|< | 03:01 |
| floodpanic | hey guys | 03:01 |
| floodpanic | hoe everything is good | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: emerald has its own themeing engine. Both emerald and the gtk decorator work with compiz to give windows their deorations. | 03:01 |

| Guest79539 | question about running boxee in 9.10 after memory upgrade to 1gb on dell inspiron 1150 | 03:01 |
| Rallaster | Good evening all | 03:01 |
| floodpanic | i have to say that XCHAT on ubuntu is not as comfortable as mirc | 03:01 |
| Guest79539 | boxee crashes now! | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | floodpanic: thers xchat, and xchat-gnome. most people perfer xchat. | 03:02 |
| Tempan | floodpanic, I disagree. | 03:02 |
| kaji | floodpanic: try konversation | 03:02 |
| blakkheim | floodpanic: use irssi | 03:02 |
| Tempan | ^ | 03:02 |
| user442 | actually irssi is not bad | 03:02 |
| floodpanic | i'm a newbie | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Thers also 20+ IRC clients you can choose from. | 03:02 |
| user442 | although it's a text client | 03:02 |
| floodpanic | i can get a proper channells list | 03:02 |
| seanbrystone | floodpanic, you might wanna change your name, i had to hit tab 4 times to do your name, but anyways once you get used to xchat you wont go to anything else :) | 03:02 |
| Rallaster | I use Pidgin for my IRC client, and I like it | 03:02 |
| coz_ | floodpanic, I prefer xchat | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | floodpanic: on this network getting a channel list often floods the client off the network. | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !channels | 03:02 |
| ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 03:02 |
| floodpanic | hahahahaha | 03:02 |
| floodpanic | ok i'm sure i will be fine in a while | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Its been years since ive ever tried to get a channel list on any cient.. on any irc server | 03:03 |
| floodpanic | i'm not used to irc, last time i opened it was bout 6 years ago | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | and ive been ircing since the 1980's or so. | 03:03 |
| Tempan | bbc ftw | 03:04 |
| user442 | was irc even around in the 80s? | 03:04 |
| coz_ | Dr_Willis, wow got me beat by a few years :) | 03:04 |
| jpitts | yes. | 03:04 |
| seanbrystone | what were you using a 300 baud modem? | 03:04 |
| === Guest79539 is now known as jdal | ||
| floodpanic | Dr_Willis: how can i get a list of channels? | 03:04 |
| dawning | coz_: Well, that works, but it captures the videos from the cameras in video mode, not photo mode - restricting the resolution.. Also, no png support. | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | user442: yes. I recall compiling 'irc' (not ircii) from source | 03:04 |
| user442 | the first time i logged on was in 95. but i haven't used it much for years | 03:04 |
| user442 | wow | 03:04 |
| dawning | coz_: Still, it's a step in the right direction | 03:04 |
| coz_ | dawning, mm ok then google ubuntu capture web cam image see what comes up | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | floodpanic: no idea. I never wanted a full list of 80% useless channels with lots of !!!!'s in the names to try to get them to move to the top of the list | 03:05 |
| jontravolta | making love | 03:05 |
| Tempan | can you pipe tar through ssh? | 03:05 |
| floodpanic | Dr_Willis: ok i start having a clue of the way it works | 03:05 |

| jdal | can someone help me: running Karmic on dell inspiron 1150 (pentium 4), upgraded mem to 1 gb recently and now boxee crashes on me! running dual boot on separate partitions and can't pass direct3d test on windows side either. help! | 03:06 |
| coz_ | floodpanic, on xchat hit Serve menu "List of channels" | 03:06 |

| Tempan | tar zcvf - file.f | ssh user@server "cat > tarfile.tar.gz" ? | 03:06 |
| Rallaster | Ok, I've been looking for help on this, but in Karmic in system monitor, all of my processes say 'poll_schedule_timeout' or 'futex_wait_queue_me' and my CPU maxes out for no apparent reason for a few seconds and Ubuntu locks up for a few seconds | 03:06 |
| coz_ | dawning, no problem good luck with this... right now my web cam doesnt work or I would help further | 03:06 |
| airtonix | Tempan, you would setup a ssh tunnel i imagine instead | 03:07 |

| nimblerabit | Anybody know if there are special steps to take in order to get sound to work through a spdif cable? | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | floodpanic: ask ubuntu support related quetions here. Other general linux/chitchat questions in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:07 |
| jpitts | Tempan: although if its just one file....scp'd be easier | 03:07 |
| * Tempan claps for brendon | 03:07 | |
| Tempan | it's an entire disk | 03:07 |
| brendon | Tempan, it just feels good when something actually works | 03:08 |
| Tempan | nimblerabit, I've tried but given up, more pressing projects. =/ | 03:08 |
| Tempan | that it does brendon | 03:08 |

| brendon | goodnight all.. its been a good day | 03:09 |

| jpitts | Tempan: thats better than 7! | 03:09 |
| Tempan | =) | 03:10 |
| jpitts | :D | 03:10 |
| nimblerabit | Tempan, ouch it's that difficult? | 03:10 |
| Rallaster | Is 'poll_schedule_timeout' even something I should be worrying about? | 03:10 |
| Tempan | nimblerabit, it was a brand new chipset. | 03:10 |
| nimblerabit | darn I don't really have any other option for my sound =/ | 03:10 |
| Tempan | there are prolly better drivers out now, it's been about a year. | 03:11 |
| nimblerabit | alright I'll keep looking around | 03:11 |
| airtonix | does ubuntu update a particular file when the laptop lid closes ? | 03:11 |
| jpitts | GeekSquid: well. plan b. install Win7 long enough to retrieve data off the mirror. disable RAID, reinstall ubuntu and use mdraid. | 03:12 |
| seanbrystone | having SSH prob, im trying to copy my public key to my laptop, im able to copy it to my desktop, getting error: ERROR: NO identities found, what am i doing wrong? | 03:12 |
| hipitihop | anandre, let me know if you have success with it, I'd be interested for me too | 03:12 |
| Tempan | airtonix, there's a lid event in acpi | 03:13 |
| airtonix | Tempan, might have my answer here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1076486 | 03:13 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: are you using ssh-copy-id ? | 03:13 |
| seanbrystone | airtonix, i think a program like iwatch would detect any file changes | 03:13 |
| seanbrystone | jpitts, yeah | 03:13 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: you are invokign it from your desktop? | 03:14 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, ok only just gettin back to my issue ;-) I've backud up my diaplan and sip.conf ... I have also stopped the asterisk process so is removing /etc/init.d/asterisk enough ot will I also need to reboot ? | 03:14 |
| anandre | hipitihop, I'm looking into the virtualbox right now. I've yet to find more info on Wine beyond a lot of the same pages seeming to have the same info. | 03:14 |
| seanbrystone | jpitts, yep | 03:14 |
| anandre | But I'll let you know how it turns out. | 03:14 |
| hipitihop | anandre, ok virtualbox will work guaranteed assuming you have your original disks and license to activate... the only thing I'm not 100% certain of is you require power graphics drivers or performance critical | 03:15 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: and your public key file is in .ssh/ ? | 03:15 |
| seanbrystone | yea | 03:15 |
| anandre | hipitihop, do I absolutely need the original disks or will an ISO work? | 03:16 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: what does ls -l <path/to/keyfile> tell you? | 03:16 |
| hipitihop | anandre, I use vb in my everyday paid software development which I have no choice but to run on windows, so I know vb works and is stbale, but I also don't try and run grphic intensive games. | 03:16 |
| Tempan | anandre, yes, an ISO will work. if you have legal keys | 03:17 |
| anandre | Tempan, I have keys, just no discs laying around. Been moving a lot lately. | 03:17 |
| seanbrystone | jpitts, it lists all my keys | 03:17 |
| Tempan | hipitihop, I dont think virtualbox does any 3d graphics acceleration. | 03:17 |
| faileas | virtualbox has graphics accelration actually | 03:18 |
| hipitihop | anandre, I've never tried installing widows off iso but I don't think there is any copy-protection and the like so should work | 03:18 |
| rifter | anandre, are you talking about windows disks? | 03:18 |
| Tempan | been a while since I've used it. | 03:18 |
| === EntityReborn is now known as AllHailTheGoat | ||
| jpitts | seanbrystone: i am specifically interested in the mode bits set on your key file. | 03:18 |
| anandre | rifter, yea. | 03:18 |
| faileas | and yeah, you can install it off an ISO, if its a VM | 03:18 |
| root51 | hello guys | 03:18 |
| Tempan | anandre, you can mount an ISO as a cd/dvd in virtualbox | 03:18 |
| rifter | anandre, on those the only thing you have to make sure is it's the exact same versionincluding sp in order for windows to acknowledge it if you are using it to install stuff to an existing windows install | 03:19 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: for example, for me, ls -l .ssh/id_dsa.pub returns -rw-r--r-- 1 jpitts staff 625 Oct 29 08:34 .ssh/id_dsa.pub | 03:19 |
| seanbrystone | jpitts, i think its working now | 03:19 |
| airtonix | if i put "/home/$USER/bin/lid_event" (without quotes) in /etc/acpi/lid.sh, will $USER equate to the user on the dekstop or root ? if not my username then how can i make it equal my username ? | 03:19 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: oh. cool. what did you change? | 03:19 |
| hipitihop | Tempan, http://blogs.sun.com/fatbloke/entry/3d_graphics_acceleration_with_virtualbox | 03:19 |
| user442 | virtualbox works well | 03:19 |
| seanbrystone | jpitts, was using wrong file name hehe | 03:20 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: :D | 03:20 |
| rifter | Tempan, yeah iso mounted using daemontools or similar will act like a cd | 03:20 |
| jpitts | seanbrystone: happens to all of us. | 03:20 |
| hipitihop | I think virtualbox is the best os vm out there at the moment... lets hope Oracle doesn't screw it up | 03:21 |
| faileas | hipitihop: its significantly FOSS. hopefully at worst, they can fork | 03:22 |
| hipitihop | Tempan, wouldn't you need to mount the iso in linux ? to do the install ? | 03:22 |
| sec0nd | I have three linux distros tripple boot. I'm using grub2. I need a way to manage all of the kernels and initrds. They will periodically change when updated and 2 of the distros are on an encrypted lvm2 luks partition. Every distro has it's own /etc/grub.d/ folder and each of them needs the 40_custom entry to add the encrypted lvm2 distros. Is there a better way to manage this? | 03:22 |
| Tempan | hipitihop, just point the VM to the ISO and have it mount it | 03:23 |
| hipitihop | Tempan, that's what I would have thought, no need for daemontools which is a windoze iso mounter afaik | 03:23 |
| faileas | linux has loopmount anyway | 03:24 |
| humoi | im trying to copy something from ubuntu to windows but it keeps saying i dont have permission. I setup the folder to be shared with all permissions though. :/ | 03:24 |
| hipitihop | faileas, indeed, all that stuff is just out of the box | 03:24 |
| faileas | which is a NATIVE way to mount isos. none of that slightly dodgy third party app stuff ;p | 03:24 |
| zicada | sec0nd: the numbers, f.example 40, refer to priority | 03:24 |
| zicada | sec0nd: so one way (of many) would be to control them by pri | 03:24 |
| jpitts | daemontools is an iso mounter AND a security dodge | 03:25 |
| zicada | another, more logical, would be to get more workstations | 03:25 |
| faileas | hipitihop: the only thing i 'hate' about linux is how scattered some resources are. But that encourages me to explore ;p | 03:25 |
| zicada | or cut down on the amt of usable distros | 03:25 |
| Viking667 | Hi. How do I _make_ pulseaudio not start up without removing it off the hard drive altogether? | 03:25 |
| humoi | hello? | 03:25 |

| Tempan | Firefox seams to lock up my audio, when I load firefox w/o VLC playing sound my audio will just go dead until I logout. anyone have any ideas of what to check? | 03:27 |
| hipitihop | faileas, I understand your point but I don't truly understand the fs and it's general architecture (even though running it on some imbeded devices and all over the house) so I do not feel qualified to criticise it at this point | 03:27 |
| humoi | come on | 03:27 |

| coz_ | humoi, hey guy is there an issue with ubuntu? | 03:27 |
| humoi | yes | 03:27 |
| han_ | hello, is there anyway i can show all mouse button events? .. my mouse buttons are not working properly, so i would like to see what it sends (im on xubuntu 9.10) | 03:28 |
| humoi | from windows it is telling me that i dont have permissions to copy an ubuntu share | 03:28 |
| Tempan | humoi chmod | 03:28 |

| humoi | chmod what? | 03:28 |
| kaoala | why my firefox iis dosn't work to playing flash player? | 03:29 |
| zicada | sec0nd: the lower number takes prescendence | 03:29 |
| Viking667 | coz_: well, pulseaudio doesn't show up in that "Startup Applications", and when I try turning it off as a service, it says it's running as per-user. | 03:29 |
| root51 | what i can to display my slave drive in ubuntu karmic | 03:29 |
| sec0nd | zicada: thats not the problem. I have a /etc/grub.d for each distro and each one updateds the /boot partition seperatly replacing entries etc when the kernel or initrd is upgraded | 03:29 |
| humoi | Tempan, chmod what ? | 03:29 |
| coz_ | Viking667, ok the other way is to install sysv-rc-conf | 03:30 |
| coz_ | Viking667, sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf | 03:30 |
| Viking667 | and what would that do? | 03:30 |
| humoi | chmod: missing operand | 03:30 |
| Tempan | humoi, check the file permissions to make sure you have r access | 03:30 |
| coz_ | Viking667, then open a terminal and type sudo sysv-rc-conf | 03:30 |
| humoi | Tempan, i do | 03:30 |
| humoi | but what's r access? | 03:30 |
| coz_ | Viking667, then use the arrows to maneuver through until you find pulseaudio then hit the space bar to x that | 03:30 |
| root51 | in my past configuration my slave drive is display | 03:30 |
| coz_ | Viking667, then close out of the terminal and restart | 03:30 |
| Tempan | humoi, chmod 755 file | 03:31 |
| root51 | my slave drive is partition by ntfs | 03:31 |
| humoi | Tempan, what does that do? | 03:31 |
| Viking667 | coz_: could I simply rename the file in /etc/init/pulseaudio instead? | 03:31 |
| === kaolbrec is now known as kaolbrec|sleep | ||
| Viking667 | nope, guess that won't work. | 03:31 |
| Tempan | it changes the file permissions to allow the owner full acces, group and others read and execute premissions | 03:31 |
| coz_ | Viking667, in karmic pulseaudio is more intricatly twined with gnome so my guess is you may have issues but you can stop the service with sysv-rc-conf | 03:31 |
| coz_ | Viking667, I dont know what the results will be though | 03:32 |
| han_ | bump: is there anyway i can show (or log) all mouse button events? .. my mouse buttons are not working properly, so i would like to see what it sends (im on xubuntu 9.10) | 03:32 |
| humoi | what do i put in place of "file"? | 03:32 |
| humoi | Tempan, p | 03:32 |
| Tempan | humoi the name of the file | 03:32 |
| humoi | Tempan, there are thousands of files | 03:32 |
| Tempan | humoi chmod 755 myFile | 03:33 |
| Viking667 | The results were: PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions | 03:33 |
| coz_ | Viking667, however you can restart it under sysv-rc-conf again if there are too many iussues | 03:33 |
| dj_segfault | My understanding is that you can't really not use pulseaudio because of a change in the kernel that makes it impossible to access sound from more than one process at a time. Personally I would like to take pulseaudio out back and shoot it. | 03:33 |
| Viking667 | dj_segfault: I want to do worse than that. | 03:33 |
| Tempan | humoi chmod -R 755 /path/to/directory/ | 03:33 |

| root51 | any possible options? | 03:34 |
| donvito | were can i get cccam for ubuntu 9.10 | 03:34 |
| Viking667 | when it DOES work, it works fine. But when it goes off into lala land, I want to shoot it, because then it locks up the CPU and sends the load high. | 03:34 |
| donvito | were can i get cccam for ubuntu 9.10 | 03:34 |
| dj_segfault | Viking667: See http://www.thekramers.net/wordpress/index.php/20100223/linux-failures/ for my feelings about pulseaudio | 03:34 |
| Viking667 | anyhow, it sounds like i need to reboot this puppi. Darn. | 03:34 |
| soldado_ | hola | 03:34 |
| root51 | please help to fix my problem | 03:34 |
| Tempan | donvito, dont ask here. | 03:34 |

| manas | Can anyone help me use unicode | 03:37 |
| dj_segfault | Guest98129: Because they're both trying to access the same database of installed apps. | 03:37 |
| dsnyders | Guest98129, Update and apt-get both access the installed software database. One would corrupt the other. | 03:37 |
| Guest98129 | big deal? | 03:37 |
| JDShewey | I have a macbook 2,1 and my touchpad is not working after upgrading to 9.10. Does anyone know what might cause this? | 03:38 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: Then please explain | 03:38 |
| Tempan | Guest98129, yes, big deal. | 03:38 |
| Tempan | Guest98129, no point in running two update managers concurrently. | 03:38 |
| Viking667 | dj_segfault: yeah, but it doesn't reset the running program so that it points to the new running pulseaudio. Not fair. | 03:38 |
| Viking667 | dj_segfault: anyhow, I suspect I'd better reboot to take my stuff good. | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, If removing pulseaudio does cause problems it's not a kernel change that has done it. Current alsa can still handle multiple sound sources just fine. | 03:39 |
| root51 | what i can do to display my slave drive (ntfs)? | 03:39 |
| dj_segfault | JDShewey: Does any mouse work? | 03:39 |
| root51 | please help to solve this problem? | 03:39 |
| root51 | can u figured out | 03:39 |
| Guest98129 | well why cant I utilize my graphics card? when I check the drivers in the system menu, it tells me there arent any proprietary drivers | 03:39 |
| JDShewey | yes. USB mouse works. | 03:39 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: Then what the hell do we need that POS pulseaudio for then? | 03:39 |
| Tempan | root51, http://www.linux-faqs.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?p=1285 | 03:40 |
| dj_segfault | Guest98129: How old is your card? | 03:40 |
| Guest98129 | 9800m gts :o | 03:40 |
| coz_ | Guest98129, and nothing shows up in system/adminstration/hardware drivers? | 03:41 |
| Guest98129 | no sir | 03:41 |

| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, The ability to run applications that have different latency requirements without having them all have to use the least common denominator as a buffer size using more battery. Output hot plugging / redirection, network sound. Per application volume control... | 03:41 |
| coz_ | Guest9062, mm you could manually install but if you are not experienced with that it can be a bit of a bump to get through | 03:42 |
| JDShewey | dj_segfault: yes, USB mouse works | 03:42 |
| Guest98129 | Hmm, detected this time. | 03:42 |
| coz_ | Guest9062, and since it is not showing up in hardware drivers it may be something wrong on that end with install or hardware....is the power cable plugged into the card? | 03:42 |
| dj_segfault | Guest98129: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_185.18.36.html says your card is supported | 03:42 |

| brez | Hey Guys, for some reason, after installing 9.10 I'm unable to connect to the internet via ipv6, only ipv6. | 03:44 |
| brez | any ideas what would be causing this? | 03:44 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I've never heard of any of those abilities being attributed to PA. In fact, I've never seen any GUI for PA to do things like volume controls for individual apps. | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, Open up System > Preferences > Sound in karmic right now if you are using pulseaudio | 03:44 |
| Guest98129 | How can I connect to an ssh server through ubuntu? Currently I'm using windows7 with puTTy/cygwin. I would like to use this os also. | 03:45 |
| dj_segfault | JDShewey: What driver was your trackpad using? synaptic? psmouse? | 03:45 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, The per application volume control is in the "applications" tab. | 03:45 |
| jpitts | ssh | 03:45 |

| Tempan | Guest98129, from command line ssh user@server | 03:45 |
| hipitihop | brez, maybe unrelated but I found after installing wicd, all wifi and cabled connection quirks disappeared. | 03:45 |
| faileas | Guest98129: oh, easy, ssh is the commad. there's a load of optios | 03:45 |
| Guest98129 | :D | 03:46 |
| Guest98129 | man ssh then | 03:46 |
| faileas | just ssh | 03:46 |
| faileas | it'll spit out the basics | 03:46 |
| dsnyders | When I log in using KDE or XFCE, my screen is normal. When I log in using Gnome I get an error message from my monitor: Input not supported. Someone suggested using gconf-editor, but I'm unclear as to what to look for. The resolution is set properly in /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0 | 03:46 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: OK I admit I never saw that before, but there's only one app there. alsa plugin firefox. How does one add applications? | 03:46 |
| coz_ | Guest9062, did you want to try the nvidia manual install? | 03:46 |
| root51 | not effect | 03:46 |
| hipitihop | what is the correct way to add ppa's in Karmic ? | 03:47 |
| faileas | Guest98129: there's also putty | 03:47 |
| Viking667 | Hm. Nope, that didn't stop the pulseaudio. | 03:47 |
| Guest98129 | What about the xserver? | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, Open another application and start playing sound | 03:47 |
| coz_ | hipitihop, system/administration/software sources | 03:47 |
| Viking667 | I'm beginning to think I'll have to remove it from the system outright. | 03:47 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: OK, will fool around with that later. Thanks for the info. I still hate it, but at least I now know it's good for something. When it works. | 03:47 |
| hipitihop | coz_, thanks but there is a command line way of doing things. | 03:47 |
| Viking667 | so _something_ forces pulseaudio to start up... but what? | 03:48 |

| jrib | hipitihop: there's nothing different about how you add ppa's from previous releases. You're probably thinking of some convenience script like add-apt-repository though | 03:50 |
| faileas | Guest98129: ssh -cx i think. | 03:50 |
| coz_ | hipitihop, how about sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily for example | 03:50 |
| ian_ | ok, well I'm using an FX 5600, and I've installed the drivers for it, but the highest resolution I can get is 640x480, without the driver I can get 800x600, which is bizare | 03:50 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, No, let me get a link from the creator of pulseaudio that explains the details of that latency bit better. | 03:50 |

| humoi | what is shell | 03:55 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: Thanks. I'll read through those tomorrow and mention them in my post. Feel free to comment on the post yourself, though. I'm not a hater, I just never met anyone who didn't have problems with pulseaudio. | 03:55 |
| zicada | yeah its obviously a real person wondering about ubuntu issues dsnyders | 03:55 |
| zicada | *sigh* | 03:55 |
| dsnyders | humoi, a shell is a program that allows a user to enter commands. There are many shells available in linux. | 03:55 |
| zicada | he just mistakenly did that | 03:55 |
| Guest98129 | shell protect the kernal from you :D | 03:56 |
| kevcox1 | I have a very simple newbie network question.... | 03:56 |
| zicada | kevcox1: just ask the question | 03:56 |
| kevcox1 | I just setup a new box with Ubuntu Server, Shorewall and webmin. It is connected to the open Internet and only computers on the same subnet of the ISP can access it. | 03:57 |
| kevcox1 | I know it is not Shorewall since I can clear it and get the same results. | 03:57 |
| zicada | kevcox1: not an ubuntu issue, ask the shorewall people | 03:58 |
| blakkheim | !webmin | kevcox1 | 03:58 |
| ubottu | kevcox1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 03:58 |
| dsnyders | kevcox1, can the new box access the internet? | 03:58 |
| acovrig | how do I get a 'Pipe to Program' from evolution to *.bash variable? | 03:58 |
| kevcox1 | Yes, the new box can access the Internet | 03:58 |
| zicada | kevcox1: ask shorewall people | 03:59 |
| dsnyders | kevcox1, sound's like everything is set up properly then. | 03:59 |
| kevcox1 | Since I can clear Shorewall it is not a shorewall issue | 03:59 |
| zicada | hehe | 03:59 |
| jrib | acovrig: you should probably rephrase your question, because it doesn't make much sense to me | 03:59 |
| kevcox1 | I stand corrected...I cannot ping google.com | 03:59 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, You're welcome. This post is probably good to read before you write a blog post similar to the one he refutes :) http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/jeffrey-stedfast.html | 03:59 |
| dsnyders | kevcox1, what is the actual problem? | 04:00 |
| kevcox1 | dsnyders: I cannot ping the internet | 04:00 |
| [Adam|Linux] | How would I find the C:/ folder that wine uses? | 04:00 |
| zicada | dsnyders: not related to ubuntu | 04:00 |
| kevcox1 | I have the box on the open Internet | 04:00 |
| bcgrown-afk | anyone know how to make alsa+ladspa plugins work? i'm on mythbuntu so it's alsa only, no pusleaudio | 04:00 |
| GeekSquid | kevcox1: can you ping 66.18.141.211? | 04:01 |
| acovrig | jrib, how do I compose my bash script to work with Evolution's Pipe to Program message filter | 04:01 |
| dj_segfault | Jordan_U: Is that dude on the pulse project? | 04:01 |
| bcgrown-afk | [Adam|Linux]: it's probably at ~/.wine/drive_c | 04:01 |
| kevcox1 | Only computers on the same Subnet of the ISP it is connected to can access it via SSH, Webmin, etc. with Shorewall up or down. | 04:01 |
| jrib | acovrig: I don't use evolution but I am guessing that you would just read from stdin in your script | 04:01 |
| zicada | kevcox1: did you see what i was saying earlier ? | 04:01 |
| acovrig | by using var=`cat`? | 04:02 |
| dsnyders | kevcox1, that's how most people set things up. What's the actual problem? | 04:02 |
| zicada | kevcox1: when i said to you that its not an ubuntu issue | 04:02 |
| [Adam|Linux] | but the question is then, where would ~/.wine reside? | 04:02 |
| kevcox1 | Yes, I can ping IPs but not DNS names so I need to fix my resolve file | 04:02 |
| === bcgrown-afk is now known as bcgrown | ||
| bcgrown | [Adam|Linux]: ~ is shorthand for your home directory | 04:02 |
| zicada | kevcox1: you have a routing issue, if you need to run shorewall, you go ask the shorewall people | 04:02 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault, He is *the* pulseaudio developer. I don't think there are any other major contributors ( though I may be wrong ) | 04:02 |
| bcgrown | [Adam|Linux]: it will be autocompleted by bash. so /home/adamlinux/.wine/drive_c | 04:03 |
| morph_ | hello can someone explain this to me: http://github.com/entrope/linux-magicmouse/blob/master/INSTALL | 04:03 |
| kevcox1 | When you CLEAR shorewall it takes their app out of the picture so it is not Shorewall | 04:03 |

| zicada | hes on the wrong channel | 04:04 |
| zicada | and doesnt read msgs | 04:04 |
| dsnyders | [Adam|Linux], a leading . on a file or folder hides it. do an ls -a | 04:04 |

| === mun__ is now known as mun | ||
| acovrig | [Adam|Linux] - everything that starts with a . is hidden, use the terminal& type ls -a | 04:04 |
| zicada | morph_: not an ubuntu issue, as the magicmouse people | 04:04 |
| morph_ | no | 04:04 |
| morph_ | its an ubuntu plugin | 04:04 |

| [Adam|Linux] | That's easier for me, thanks :) | 04:05 |
| Luke_ | how do i copy a Ubuntu install from an external drive to my internal boot disk? | 04:05 |
| zicada | raaaaaaaaaaage | 04:05 |
| zicada | i cant take this anymore | 04:05 |
| dj_segfault | Luke_: I don't think you can't just copy an install over. | 04:05 |
| Luke_ | well i open for discussion! | 04:06 |
| morph_ | how do i apply pathes and rebuild the kernal | 04:06 |
| GeekSquid | Luke_: I know I have done it, I just don't remember the steps | 04:06 |
| coz_ | morph_, try here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 04:07 |
| Luke_ | well do you have a suggestion? | 04:07 |
| hipitihop | Luke I have moved entire partitions using gparted | 04:07 |
| yxmn2 | Luke_, set it on fire | 04:07 |
| dj_segfault | hipitihop: From one drive to another? | 04:07 |
| Luke_ | How do i go about that? | 04:08 |
| dsnyders | When I log in using KDE or XFCE, my screen is normal. When I log in using Gnome I get an error message from my monitor: Input not supported. Someone suggested using gconf-editor, but I'm unclear as to what to look for. The resolution is set properly in /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0 | 04:08 |
| GeekSquid | Luke_: start by booting with a live disk .. you cannot copy an entire partition while it is mounted.. use gparted ... in gparted you can right click on a partition and copy it to another | 04:08 |
| Luke_ | ok thanks I'll try that | 04:08 |
| hipitihop | dj_segfault, yes... I actually had a install on a flash drive but ran out of space, so I copied the partition and even resized when I copied it back to a larger flash drive | 04:09 |
| dj_segfault | hipitihop: Even if the drives are different sizes? | 04:09 |
| hipitihop | dj_segfault, the fact that it was from and to another flash driv eI think is not relevant | 04:09 |
| necroforest | Anyone here familiar with PostgreSQL on Ubuntu? I just installed it from APT and get the following error when doing creatdb: reatedb: could not connect to database postgres: FATAL: Ident authentication failed | 04:09 |
| dsnyders | Luke_, be aware that the references in certain files like /etc/fstab won't match the new location if you simply copy. | 04:09 |
| Viking667 | YAY!!!! | 04:09 |
| quietone | anyone able to help me get my internal mic usable. I set everything I can find to max and still have to shout to hear a whisper but works fine in Vista. | 04:10 |
| GeekSquid | dsnyders: luke_ left .. he had to reboot into live CD | 04:10 |
| Guest98129 | Whats .ICEauthority ? | 04:10 |
| Viking667 | $ cp /etc/pulse/client.conf ~/.pulse/; vim ~/.pulse/client.conf; edit autospawn line, set to no. No more pulseaudio. YAY! | 04:10 |
| dsnyders | GeekSquid, Yeah, I saw that just after I posted | 04:10 |
| hipitihop | dj_segfault, yes, as I said, I also managed to extend the partition after I copied it back or at the same time, can't remember details... but do take note dsnyders said | 04:11 |
| dj_segfault | hipitihop: Sweet. | 04:11 |
| Viking667 | dj_segfault: finally did it. Sheesh. | 04:11 |
| GeekSquid | dsnyders: perhaps it is the refresh rate that is being sent to the moniter ... that is often a cause | 04:12 |
| * dj_segfault sends Viking667 a beer | 04:12 | |
| morph_ | guys | 04:12 |
| quietone | Viking667: what is the advantage of no pulse audio? | 04:12 |
| morph_ | why u use patch -p1 > name.patch | 04:12 |
| morph_ | then it asks | 04:12 |
| GeekSquid | quietone: pulseaudio has problems with some cards .. on cards that have trouble falling back to ALSA often cures problems | 04:13 |
| hipitihop | dj_segfault, and even if you have problems initialy to boot it, you should be able to mount it, correct references etc and away you go.... anway way simple for me, but then I did not move locations, usb flash drive to another usb flash drive in same spot | 04:13 |
| dsnyders | GeekSquid, I kind of suspect a driver mismatch somewhere along the line. I started with the nvidia driver and switched unsuccessfully to nv. Then had all sorts of problems. I've switch back to nvidia. Everything works except gnome. | 04:13 |
| dj_segfault | hipitihop: Yeah, I didn't think you can do that. It should be easy enough to fix fstab, but what about /dev? | 04:13 |
| quietone | GeekSquid: thank you. Guess that is not me as all is well except internal mic. | 04:14 |
| morph_ | ok guys | 04:14 |
| morph_ | im getting | 04:14 |
| Viking667 | quietone: don't know yet. I'm hoping that several programs will now work without massive stuttering of audio. | 04:14 |
| morph_ | Hunk #1 Failed at 280. | 04:14 |
| morph_ | Hunk #2 Failed at 792. | 04:14 |
| Viking667 | They don't always stutter, but when they do, the load goes up on CPU. Not nice when I haven't got much CPU to begin with. | 04:14 |

| morph_ | im using patch -p1 > file.patch | 04:15 |
| hipitihop | dj_segfault, sorry no expert, just letting you know what worked for me, maybe someone else knows more can chime in ... if you are staing on the same machine would /dev change ? | 04:15 |

| morph_ | im in the folder with the pathes | 04:16 |
| morph_ | what do i type to apply them | 04:16 |
| alankila | never mind. I just think you typoed the command here. Anyway, the errors you got from patch indicate that the patch is not compatible with the source version, I guess. | 04:16 |

| dj_segfault | kevcox1: OK, but just because the program removes its functionality doesn't mean its leaving things in a sane state. | 04:18 |
| jasmuz | Does anyone know how to make Amarok 2.x handle ipods? | 04:18 |
| kevcox1 | According to the documentation and the support team that is how you tell if shorewall is the issue | 04:18 |
| gdiz | jasmuz, what kind of ipod? | 04:19 |
| Guest98129 | Does anyone know What is the .ICEauthority and why can I see it in the terminal window with -a but dont see it in nautilus with ctrl+h? | 04:19 |
| dj_segfault | kevcox1: Have you tried shutting shorewall off and using a different firewall tool, like firestarter? | 04:19 |
| layla | no sound ... help !! | 04:19 |
| hipitihop | jasmuz, not specifically amarok but check this http://maketecheasier.com/sync-iphone-with-rhythmbox/2010/02/13 | 04:19 |
| alankila | morph_: well, I'm kinda busy cooking here... But I can only say that this particular patch did not identify the requisite source lines in the source and that is why applying the modifications failed. Perhaps you could download 2.6.33 kernel from ppa, in case it has the hooks? | 04:19 |
| jasmuz | gdiz, Ipod Video.. Amarok 1.4 does fairly good at it, this new amarok has me baffled | 04:19 |
| dj_segfault | Guest98129: Someone already answered your question. Stop asking it. | 04:20 |
| kevcox1 | No, I have not... | 04:20 |
| jasmuz | hipitihop, i personally hate rhythmbox | 04:20 |
| kevcox1 | I still think it is a network issue.... | 04:20 |
| Viking667 | quietone: oooo yeah. I sure hope so. I want to use ALSA, rather than being forced to route through pulseaudio. | 04:20 |
| dsnyders | kevcox1, copy your iptables -L to pastebin please | 04:20 |
| morph_ | how do i do that alankila sorry im new to linux | 04:20 |
| mattgyver | does anyone know how to prevent wine applications from loading in the Wine System Tray, and appear in the gnome panel instead? | 04:20 |
| gdiz | jasmuz, sorry, I'm not so familiar with that | 04:21 |
| hipitihop | jasmuz, I also think Amarok is better but that's not the point of the link as afaik the fuse related stuff is what would be required even fro amarok to hava a chance | 04:21 |
| jasmuz | gdiz, thanks anyways. | 04:21 |
| manas | what is the chat room for google summer of code | 04:22 |
| jasmuz | hipitihop, its just easier reverting to Amarok 1.4 | 04:22 |
| hipitihop | jasmuz, does it support current gen2 & 3 ipdos ? | 04:22 |
| andrew_46 | manas: http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_IRC | 04:23 |
| jasmuz | hipitihop, yes it does. | 04:23 |
| hipitihop | jasmuz, touch specifically ? what about 3gs iphone ? | 04:23 |
| jasmuz | Take care all, im off to reverting | 04:23 |
| quietone | Viking667: I guess I route through pulseaudio - could that be messy up my internal mic? | 04:23 |
| jasmuz | hipitihop, 3gs iphone, i have no clue, but surely it can be done. | 04:23 |

| AdamMiner | I lost the Bluetooth icon from my tray, how do I get it back? | 04:24 |
| alankila | morph_: not so fast. You should first try to identify if 2.6.33 contains the stuff you want first. Otherwise, there's no point necessarily to update to it. | 04:24 |
| mezquitale | quietone, we can talk about it in #ubuntustudio if you want | 04:24 |

| hipitihop | GeekSquid, sorry, I see it will install those anyway | 04:29 |

| GeekSquid | hipitihop: sounds good.. even better if you can make a call and not have your CPU Crunching | 04:30 |
| alankila | morph_: why not. | 04:31 |
| greezmunkey | _DM_, in Administration/Remote Desktop/Preferences what is checked? | 04:31 |
| mezquitale | JumboJellyfish, upgrade means exactly what it means, you are upgrading -- you have to upgrade to 8.10, 9.04 then to 9.10, you cant skip versions | 04:32 |
| switch10_ | I am having some issues with rsync. I posted the detailed problems I am having on the Ubuntu forums, here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8888871#post8888871 | 04:32 |

| JumboJellyfish | mezquitale, the upgrade gui tool tells me it is updating to karmic koala, i just dont want kde4 | 04:32 |
| blakkheim | Boris: ifconfig | 04:32 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, I know that is just the baseline but I'll be a happy camper if that is the result | 04:32 |
| stiv2k | anyone?? | 04:32 |
| GeekSquid | JumboJellyfish: you cannot upgrade directly from Hardy to Karmic ... but here is the ppa for kde 3.5 compiled for karmic https://launchpad.net/~kde3-maintainers/+archive/ppa | 04:33 |
| _DM_ | http://save.wmcc.su/uploads/1267032743_Screenshot.png | 04:33 |

| Boris | thanks blakkheim | 04:33 |
| JumboJellyfish | thanks GeekSquid | 04:33 |
| mezquitale | JumboJellyfish, I dont know what kubuntu uses but find out, if 9.10 uses kde4 you will effectively upgrade to kde4, it will be a big pain upgrading from 8.10 to 9.10, I would just download the ISO and reinstall a clean version, just beware 9.10 uses grub2 and ext4 | 04:34 |

| jmp_ | Guest9062, yeah by unziping it ur zip a soft and go and launch the .exe | 04:57 |
| omicr0n | Guest98129: you can look for Gmount-ISO in the Ubuntu Software Center | 04:57 |

| Bookman | switch10_, any 3D game at all | 05:01 |

| dsnyders | brjann, turns out that my gnome is corrupted. KDE and XFCE work just fine, but when I use Gnome, it switches to a resolution my monitor can't handle. | 05:01 |
| teratorn | jmp_: for Python WingIDE is pretty excellent, also | 05:01 |
| Losha | switch10_: been there. You know what, make a backup before you start messing with the names.... | 05:01 |

| brjann | dsnyders, ew, good luck. just as much fun as windows regedit :) | 05:02 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, I worked on vim but I think it is quite tough to compile a multi files project , u have to make ur own make file | 05:02 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, how do u proceed | 05:02 |
| josephg | brjann: sorry, the /etc/wgetrc must have been purged, when i got rid of wget a few weeks ago, after i found axel. | 05:02 |
| teratorn | i just wish someone would fully integrate VIM inside of an IDE... every vi/vim emulation that I've tried (e.g. ViEmu under Visual Studio) leaves way too much to be desired.. it frustrates me to no end having to work with a half-assed vi-emulation (but its better than nothing ;) | 05:02 |
| brjann | josephg, no problem :) | 05:03 |
| teratorn | jmp_: yes, if you're writing C or C++ you should have a Makefile | 05:03 |
| teratorn | jmp_: they are not hard to create... | 05:03 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Yes. So it seems. Fortunately there isn't a lot of cryptic hex values running all through it. | 05:03 |
| greezmunkey | I want to install emacs, but there are a lot of choices. For a rank beginner which should I choose? I'm thinking emacs22-gtk (9.10, gnome) | 05:03 |
| brjann | dsnyders, you know, if that's the case... one thing you might try doing just for kicks is creating a brand new user and trying to log into gnome | 05:03 |
| josephg | but, i still don't remember using --no-clobber, till a few weeks ago. but as you say, there really is not reason not to make it the default. | 05:04 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, not hard but quite long | 05:04 |
| brjann | dsnyders, if for whatever reason *your* gnome settings are borked, the ones installed from the skeleton shouldn't be. | 05:04 |
| dsnyders | brjann, there's an idea. I was considering doing an uninstall/reinstall of gnome, but your idea is somewhat less drastic. | 05:04 |
| Guest98129 | ok, now I have just completed updating ubuntu. Its asking me what I would like to do about the grub. I had a problem before where the grub completely screwed up and I had to reinstall the original version of ubuntu from a cdrom to get the grub working again. so what do I pick here? | 05:04 |
| devendra | there is no bash_profile in ubuntu to set environmental variables permanently. | 05:05 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, so no need of a make file on python | 05:05 |
| teratorn | jmp_: nope | 05:05 |
| brjann | dsnyders, and a reinstall probably wouldn't help you since it wouldn't touch settings in your home directory | 05:05 |
| alcala | how do I backup all software dependecies ?? | 05:05 |
| josephg | Guest98129: if all you need is to read some files from the .iso or to boot it, you don't need any other additional software. | 05:05 |
| airtonix | does ubuntu fast user switcher create a file somewhere to indicate which one of the logged in users is the currently active session ? | 05:05 |
| teratorn | jmp_: you will create a python "package" (a dir containing an initially empty __init__.py file) for your app | 05:06 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Hmmm.... maybe I can just remove the gnome settings in my home directory and let gnome re-create them. | 05:06 |
| Guest98129 | Its this Debcong, I can keep the local verssion currently installed, or install the package maintainers version, amongst other options. | 05:06 |
| teratorn | jmp_: then, as a sibling to the package dir you have a 'bin' folder with an executable "script", "myapplication" | 05:06 |
| brjann | dsnyders, you could do that, and I've done it before too. but remember that application settings get stored in there too. I'd try the new user approach just to see if there's any benefit in doing that | 05:07 |
| Guest98129 | I am triple booting if that means anything to this | 05:07 |
| greezmunkey | Yikes! 65.6 MB to install emacs! It better be good :) | 05:07 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, thanks a lot | 05:07 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Wise as always. | 05:08 |
| teratorn | inside the myapplication file you do a standard shebang line "#!/usr/bin/python2.6" (or so), then you do something like "from mypackage import main; main.run()" | 05:08 |
| brjann | greezmunkey, yes, emacs is... comprehensive. :) | 05:08 |
| === linkiduu is now known as linkiduuyy | ||
| greezmunkey | :] | 05:08 |
| jmp_ | teratorn, I think I have so much neglect python , I'l go for it | 05:08 |
| teratorn | jmp_: so inside "mypackage" you have a "main.py" "module", which contains a function called "run" which is your "entry point" | 05:08 |
| teratorn | jmp_: check out the tutorial/book "how to think like a computer scientist, learning with python" | 05:09 |
| JrodDCx | The Python Channel can help you better | 05:09 |
| teratorn | yeah, go there :) | 05:10 |
| talanded | How do you turn on wireless nick, I think I turned it off a while ago...it is off now, thats for sure, and I can't figure out how to turn it ON? | 05:10 |
| chetnick | greezmunkey: better get ready to worm up your chair if you wanna learn how to use emacs. By the way its great. | 05:10 |
| jesse | okay | 05:10 |
| dsnyders | jmp_, google for some python tutorial sites as well. | 05:10 |

| jpitts | JrodDCx: I did. I think it is turning into a bug report. | 05:13 |
| JrodDCx | We should have Easy Editor from BSD | 05:13 |
| greezmunkey | chetnick, yeah! figured out spell check, it's a start (I know...off topic) :) | 05:13 |
| JrodDCx | ok you can check the emacs launch pad to report issues :) | 05:14 |
| jpitts | it isnt an emacs bug. | 05:14 |
| JrodDCx | is it a Ubuntu one ? | 05:15 |
| JrodDCx | or no bug at all? | 05:15 |
| jpitts | yes. ubuntu. installer should not write to block devices in a suprising way | 05:15 |

| hipitihop | GeekSquid, excellent news, thanks.. I just wonder now why on that PPA link it says (new version available) which I assume the normal one in the repository | 05:36 |
| t3rm1n4l | please see the nfs install error | 05:36 |
| Dr_Willis | psilikon: Hmm. the mplayer i got from medibuntu I think had vdpau as an option. | 05:36 |
| JrodDCx | OK , i didnt know what he was trying to do issuing random commands , carry on | 05:36 |
| blakkheim | t3rm1n4l: use aptitude instead of apt-get | 05:36 |
| psilikon | Dr_Willis, oh really :) | 05:36 |
| IdleOne | t3rm1n4l: configure nfs-common | 05:37 |
| becker_11 | Dr_Willis: I get a Device partition expected, not making filesystem on entire device /dev/sdc (use -I to override) error | 05:37 |
| Dr_Willis | psilikon: i may be wrong. I cant double check right now. testing 10.04 on th nebook Im sure it DID have it in there.. lets see | 05:37 |
| t3rm1n4l | tried all that | 05:37 |
| t3rm1n4l | now way | 05:37 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: technically the ppa is an older version ... but it is a working version ... Do you Care? | 05:37 |
| sircrazy | is 10.04 using usplash and grub2, like 9.10? | 05:38 |
| t3rm1n4l | it says dependecny problems - leaving unconfigugred | 05:38 |
| brjann | becker_11, you need to specify the partition, e.g. /dev/sdc# where # is a number | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | psilikon: VDPAU is a option in player on 10.04 :) | 05:38 |
| psilikon | That would explain why the "building from svn" are all dated a year ago | 05:38 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: don't answer that, it was a stupid question | 05:38 |
| sircrazy | er xsplash* | 05:38 |
| JrodDCx | Dr_Willis: Do yourself a favor and use VLC its better then Mplayer now . | 05:38 |
| becker_11 | brjann: aaahhh I see thanks | 05:38 |
| rww | sircrazy: 10.04 uses grub2, and uses plymouth instead of *splash | 05:38 |
| blakkheim | JrodDCx: i strongly disagree | 05:38 |
| rww | sircrazy: questions and discussion of it belong in #ubuntu+1, by the way :) | 05:38 |
| sircrazy | rww, ty | 05:38 |
| Dr_Willis | JrodDCx: i use whatever i feel like at the time. had a few issues with vlc with some videos that mplayer handled file.. and visa-versa aslso | 05:39 |

| t3rm1n4l | please help | 05:39 |

| Dr_Willis | becker_11: do a sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda and see what partitons exist | 05:39 |
| brjann | becker_11, without knowing the layout of your disks i'm uncomfortable telling you which partition to format ;) | 05:39 |
| JrodDCx | airtonix: Use the command : dmesg | 05:39 |
| psilikon | I was using VLC but even with my i7 1080p playback was using 40% cpu! | 05:39 |
| jure | is there any linux-native utility which successfully decodes WMA *3* ? | 05:39 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, I understand you point though, it is the first version which both works and can make inbound/outbound calls... but since I did fiddle with teh sip.conf and dialplan to get it running properly with the latest 1.6.2.4 which I had compiled... I'm now left wondering if infact the rc2 would now work anyway | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | t3rm1n4l: all i really did was follow the !nfs wiki page. took me just a few min. You may need to update/upgrade and try installing it again | 05:40 |
| t3rm1n4l | i looked at it | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | psilikon: yep thats the issues i had with hidef videos | 05:40 |
| t3rm1n4l | no use | 05:40 |
| blakkheim | psilikon: mplayer doesn't have that problem. vlc only uses one cpu core ;( | 05:40 |
| becker_11 | brjann: yeah no drama I'm looking into it now | 05:40 |
| psilikon | blakkheim, but does mplayer take advantage of vdpau? I want my GPU to do all the work | 05:41 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, but I'm best to send time learning asterisk and its features rather then woeeing | 05:41 |
| blakkheim | psilikon: yes | 05:41 |
| al_ | why does this crontab file start every line with 0 ? http://pastebin.com/4jCsVGUS | 05:41 |
| JrodDCx | Are you on the latest release of VLC? because on my amd 64 it works fine... both cpus and gpu | 05:41 |
| al_ | its not ubuntu based btw | 05:41 |
| dj_segfault | grkblood13: go to medibuntu.org | 05:41 |
| becker_11 | brjann: just by the by I would love a convert tool that takes ntfs and converts to ext3 for my terrabyte external | 05:41 |
| ardchoille | al_: because allof those commands start at the top of the hour | 05:42 |
| becker_11 | brjann: without data loss | 05:42 |
| psilikon | blakkheim, does mplayer do that out of the box? Do I need to compile from source? | 05:42 |
| brjann | becker_11, I doubt anything exists that converts ntfs to ext3 in-place | 05:42 |
| blakkheim | psilikon: compile from source for multithreaded decoding | 05:42 |
| psilikon | hipitihop, you learning asterisk? | 05:42 |
| becker_11 | brjann: yeah I'm pretty sure it doesn't I've looked before | 05:43 |
| blakkheim | psilikon: but vdpau is a built in option in newer builds (dont know about ubuntu's since i dont use it) | 05:43 |

| becker_11 | bb | 05:44 |
| becker_11 | brb | 05:44 |
| brjann | becker_11, depending on how much free space you have on the disk, you may be able to use gparted to shrink the ntfs partition, create an ext3 partition in the free space, and then move stuff over | 05:44 |
| al_ | dj_segfault: hmm It didnt quote paste the whole file, look at http://pastebin.com/Gx7PSNSc | 05:45 |

| philippe | Hi everyone, I'm about to try Fedora 12 on my desktop and i'd like to know if I should use the 32 or 64 bits version. My processor is Core 2 Duo Dual Core (x86-64). | 05:46 |
| Jordan_U | philippe, This is #ubuntu. | 05:46 |
| ardchoille | Friend of mine has dual-boot Ubuntu and Fedora. She wants to know if she canuse one of the fedora apps in ubuntu (apps spanning partitions?) | 05:46 |
| al_ | ardchoille: so there are jobs running every day at 7pm and 3am and 4am? | 05:47 |
| rww | philippe: ask in #fedora :) | 05:47 |
| dj_segfault | ardchoille: I doubt it. Probably different kernel versions | 05:47 |
| === capn_crunch is now known as RabidLockerGnome | ||
| psilikon | hipitihop, i love asterisk. Have you checked out TFOT 2nd edition. I found it used on amazon about 5 months ago for ~ $5. Helped out a lot! | 05:47 |
| rww | philippe: if they're anything like us, though, you can use either. | 05:47 |
| ardchoille | al_: yes, and all at the top of the hour | 05:47 |
| brjann | ardchoille, probably not. installed libraries needed for dependencies, etc may be different | 05:47 |
| becker_11 | ok back | 05:47 |
| ardchoille | brjann: Ah, very good point | 05:47 |
| becker_11 | That was weird my 1gb usb stick had 4 partitions on it | 05:47 |
| al_ | ardchoille: actually the 1,2,3,4,5,6 is in the dow colum? so they are only run once each week on seperate days by the look? | 05:48 |
| dj_segfault | al_: correct | 05:48 |
| ardchoille | al_: actually the last 6 lines start the commands on different days of the week | 05:48 |
| al_ | dj_segfault: ta | 05:48 |
| psilikon | hipitihop, do you have a spare box to use as a pbx? | 05:49 |
| philippe | rww: noones answer in #fedora-unregistered | 05:49 |
| ardchoille | philippe: are you running fedora? | 05:49 |
| philippe | no im on Linux mint right now | 05:49 |

| ardchoille | phil_: just fyi, we can't suppoort mint here either | 05:49 |
| rww | philippe: (the #fedora-unregistered topic and entry message also have those links) | 05:50 |
| hipitihop | psilikon, yes I started to read the online version ... and I have a home theater pc it's an ION Atom 330 , i.e. dual core running mythtv (also awesome).. but mainly sitting idle, so I have asterisk isntalled ther | 05:50 |
| psilikon | hipitihop, nice. Chapter 5 of tfot... then I was set. I have since built a few pbxes. One I used for a local business and earned some decent money. Check out pbx in a flash also. | 05:52 |
| hipitihop | psilikon, cool.. we should probably go via pm rather then create more noise here | 05:53 |

| AMAG | Hi, I'm having a rough time with my PCs today. I had to sacrifice my desktop machine, which was setup for my 30" monitor, so I could have a functioning power supply for my server and database. | 05:59 |
| blakkheim | morph_: now run: dpkg -S gmail-notify | grep bin | 05:59 |
| Vendetta | officially tomorrow | 06:00 |
| morph_ | whats that do? | 06:00 |
| becker_11 | AMAG: that sux | 06:00 |
| domo | should /etc/hostname be www.foo.com or www ? | 06:00 |
| blakkheim | morph_: searches the files in the package for the binary name (what you will put in your startup item) | 06:00 |
| Vendetta | actually, now its officially today | 06:00 |
| AMAG | It's been about 3 years since I setup the desktop and I can't remember the steps I went through to get the 30" screen working. My question is basically, will it be easier to repeat those steps again on my old 6.10 installation, or should I go ahead and upgrade to the latest ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| morph_ | morph@morph-ubuntu:~$ dpkg -S gmail-notify | grep bin | 06:01 |
| morph_ | gmail-notify: /usr/bin/gmail-notify | 06:01 |
| morph_ | morph@morph-ubuntu:~$ | 06:01 |
| blakkheim | morph_: i'm 99% sure you just need to use "/usr/bin/gmail-notify" | 06:01 |
| blakkheim | morph_: yeah | 06:01 |
| becker_11 | AMAG: 6.10 isn't supported any longer AFAIK so upgrading would be your best bet | 06:01 |
| Andys^ | AMAG: if its a recent-ish nvidia card, chances are strong it'll just Work | 06:01 |
| MilitantPotato | AMAG: upgrading has lots of advantages, aside from likely being easier (provided you have a seperate /home at the least) | 06:01 |
| AMAG | becker_11:I am pretty glad the server was not fried, because the power supply started smoking, and then sparks started shooting out of it inside of the case. So if I just lose a few hours and a $100 new PSU I will be happy. :) | 06:01 |
| blakkheim | morph_: just put "gmail-notify" in the "command" section of the startup item and it should work | 06:01 |
| morph_ | thanks man | 06:01 |
| morph_ | i dont put /usr/bin/gmail-notify ? | 06:01 |
| becker_11 | AMAG: I hear you on that one | 06:02 |
| morph_ | or will either work | 06:02 |
| Vendetta | MilitantPotato...I like that one haha | 06:02 |
| blakkheim | morph_: /usr/bin is in your $PATH so it's not needed in this case | 06:02 |

| AMAG | Andys^:I tried, it didn't "just work," when I got the other machine it took me a few hours to figure out how to set it up. I assume the new 9.10 is probably way easier to do it on than 6.10 though, or maybe that's what you mean, that it'll "just work" on 9.10? | 06:02 |

| blakkheim | morph_: i have no experience with apple-specific hardware, sorry | 06:03 |

| morph_ | blakkheim, http://github.com/entrope/linux-magicmouse | 06:04 |
| becker_11 | brjann: it was mounting to /media/NARELLE before I fdisked and wiped it | 06:04 |
| brjann | becker_11, did it only have one partition before too? | 06:05 |

| infid | dj_segfault: didnt fix it | 06:08 |
| brjann | becker_11, okay, so you deleted all the partitions, created a new one spanning the whole drive of type 'c'? | 06:08 |
| AMAG | This image will have a "livecd" environment built-in as well as the installer, right? ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 06:09 |
| MilitantPotato | AMAG: Yep. | 06:09 |
| dj_segfault | infid: What terminal program are you using? gnome-terminal? | 06:09 |
| MilitantPotato | AMAG: more then 3gb of ram on your machine? | 06:09 |
| brjann | becker_11, partition type c is "W95 FAT32 (LBA)" | 06:09 |
| dsnyders | grkblood13, mplayer -v | 06:09 |
| becker_11 | brjann: not to used to fdisk but I created a new partition of type primary and used suod mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 | 06:09 |
| infid | dj_segfault: tilda right now. let me see if it does it in gnome-term | 06:09 |
| AMAG | The one thing I remember from 3 years ago, booting up in the live environment, customizing X a little, and then realizing that I did not complete the installation. :D | 06:09 |
| brjann | becker_11, but did you change the partition type? | 06:10 |
| AMAG | No, 2G of memory | 06:10 |
| infid | dj_segfault: does it in gnome-terminal too | 06:10 |
| becker_11 | brjann: don't think so | 06:10 |

| dsnyders | grkblood13, It should be one of the first lines | 06:10 |
| brjann | becker_11, this drive is currently /dev/sdc, right? | 06:10 |
| MilitantPotato | AMAG: 64bit is a pain if it's not needed (less than 3.2gb of memory) | 06:11 |
| infid | dj_segfault: and i'm using teh same bashrc i am using on 2 other ubuntu systems. the only difference with this one is it's a netbook | 06:11 |

| MilitantPotato | AMAG: Ah, nevermind. Yea, mainly for flash, 64bit has other issues, but they tend to be pretty specific | 06:12 |
| dj_segfault | infid: I'm guessing it's not reporting the actual terminal geometry right due to the screen. Not sure. Try maximizing the terminal window and see if it does the same thing. | 06:12 |
| AMAG | I guess I'll burn both CDs just in case | 06:12 |
| infid | dj_segfault: they are maximized | 06:12 |

| brjann | becker_11, oh, sorry. type t<enter> c<enter> and check again | 06:14 |

| brjann | becker_11, once you're back at the prompt (assuming no errors from fdisk) go ahead and mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 again | 06:16 |

| brjann | Guest96272, you don't strictly *need* to, especially if you're behind a hardware firewall like a wifi access point or cable router. | 06:26 |
| zubin71 | hi is "ubottu" opensource? | 06:26 |
| leopard | zubin71: yes | 06:27 |
| Guest96272 | ty brjann :) | 06:27 |
| brjann | Guest96272, but! If it makes you feel safer, there are a few AV clients in the Ubuntu Software Manager in the Applications menu | 06:27 |
| meway | MilitantPotato: ah well.. is there a program besides the one that ubuntu comes with thats opensource/free that will allow me to put it on a flash drive from windows? | 06:27 |
| zubin71 | leopard: cool... could you point me to its source? | 06:27 |
| Guest96272 | nice ty | 06:28 |
| brjann | Guest96272, the one that's just called "Virus Scanner" is clamav, and would probably do just fine. | 06:28 |

| xorwhy | ath9k behaves poorly because compat-wireless needs to be updated to the latest stable version. is there a deb for that? | 06:30 |
| zubin71 | earlyy: well, what are you interested in doing? | 06:30 |
| MilitantPotato | meway: there's a free ISO mounting program for windows | 06:30 |
| blakkheim | xorwhy: use madwifi :) | 06:30 |
| xorwhy | lol, blacklisted, for a good reason | 06:30 |
| MilitantPotato | meway: that'd let you run the USB creator from the file you downloaded. | 06:30 |
| brjann | Guest96272, does that help? :) | 06:30 |
| zubin71 | leopard: ok; will check it out if its got the source ; i`d like to try and write a bot too ;) | 06:30 |
| zubin71 | leopard: just for fun.... :) | 06:30 |

| earlyy | i guess the best way would be to set up apache and stuff? | 06:31 |
| meway | MilitantPotato: thats ok the first try was that I downloaded the default instead of paying attention that it was default 64x | 06:32 |
| meway | MilitantPotato: I am working with an old 32x | 06:32 |
| zubin71 | earlyy: well if you are interested in trying to set up a server then you could do that of course. ubuntus a fully fledged OS; you could do lots of things | 06:32 |

| leopard | That taught me alot | 06:33 |

| Dr_Willis | or just go read the docs for the other disrtos... - but use ubuntu | 06:34 |

| meway | MilitantPotato: Does it work like the tirminal in desktop version? | 06:34 |
| leopard | Otherwise, if you're looking for more exposure under the hood, Arch :) | 06:34 |
| zubin71 | earlyy: almost any search with the keywords "howto" and "ubuntu" gets you ubuntu community documentation; its pretty good if you get stuck smwhere. | 06:35 |
| leopard | Persoanlly, I like the BSD style init over the System V | 06:35 |
| blakkheim | leopard: arch is still pretty hand-holding, i would recommend gentoo for learning | 06:35 |
| MilitantPotato | meway: No idea, haven't messed with it, I'm guessing it's just ubuntu sans a desktop environment bundled with the common server apps. | 06:35 |
| earlyy | ok | 06:36 |
| meway | MilitantPotato: server have desktop environment? 0_0 | 06:36 |

It works alright but I have a few programs (emulators mostly) that experiance about a second or two lag time between what I see on the screen and what I hear. (The Audio and Video isn't synced) is there any help for that or a way to bypass pulse audio for these apps? | 06:50 |
| leopard | brjann: I like where it says "sanity checks" lol. Thanks for the info/link/man page. | 06:50 |
| ultraparadigm | Thanks GeekSquid. I am trying to see if I can run compiz, or get it to start | 06:50 |
| brjann | leopard, no problem :) | 06:50 |
| greezmunkey | Yikes! I was playing with gDesklets, now I have one "stuck" to my mouse cursor. It launched a password box, AND the app, now I can't type the pword, or drop the thing on the desktop! Can I break out, or do I have to kill? | 06:51 |
| abhi_nav | psycho_oreos: thnx for you and all others for helping me. | 06:51 |
| Guest96272 | Is packet socket support automatically enabled in this distro? | 06:51 |
| GeekSquid | vince: define emulators .. .. audio is often slow getting to the front end when emulating something | 06:51 |
| psycho_oreos | abhi_nav, hm ok | 06:51 |
| vince | GeekSquid : At the moment my problem is with Gens/GS | 06:51 |
| vince | Though SNES9X and a few other programs have experianced this behavior as well | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest96272: 'packet support' meaning? | 06:52 |
| Guest96272 | On Linux, you need to have "packet socket" support enabled in your kernel; see the "Packet socket" item in the Linux "Configure.help" file. Your distribution might enable this by default in the kernel. | 06:52 |
| alana09 | alana | 06:52 |
| vince | It worked fine under ALSA in older versions of Ubuntu so as best I can guess the issue is with pulseaudio | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest96272: that term means very little to me. what doc/guide is even saying that? | 06:52 |

| leopard | abhi_nav: Well whats you priorities? | 06:55 |
| vince | GeekSquid: Ok, The problem I have with that is that Pulseaudio mostly works under this system right now. I had pulseaudio under 9.04 as well however it was much buggier. When i tired to remove it I remember it basicly removed a ton of stuff that made the cure worse than the disease. I would like to keep pulseaudio in place and just bypass it for these particular apps if possible | 06:55 |
| mgmuscari | vince: what's your PA problem? | 06:56 |
| GeekSquid | Guest96272: wireshark needs permissions to access the eth0 or wlan0 ... I have never been able to run wireshark as anything but sudo (I know it isn't reccommended) yet somehow it works | 06:56 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Are you a Desktop End-User, server administrator, or plain super user? Maybe a purist or a Windows convert? | 06:56 |

| ultraparadigm | isn't it alt-f2? | 06:56 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: yes | 06:56 |
| nathbfreak | How can I take an empty partition and use it for save space for my Ubuntu Partition? | 06:56 |
| vince | mgmuscari : Short version is certian apps have Audio/Video sync issues with it. Mostly emulators. | 06:56 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I am comp engg student(i.e. lots of programming and comp industry related work e.g. security etc) and I am desktop-end user | 06:56 |
| ultraparadigm | darn, ok so that just one more thing that doesn work :-( | 06:57 |
| psycho_oreos | or you can add an applet to start a command | 06:57 |
| Cozi | abhi_nav what's your current OS | 06:57 |
| abhi_nav | ultraparadigm: yes alt+f2 then type command and selet run from terminal | 06:57 |
| greezmunkey | ultraparadigm, Alt+F2 | 06:57 |
| GeekSquid | Cozi: List view vs. Compact view vs. Icon View ... Upper right hand corner | 06:57 |
| abhi_nav | Cozi: Ubuntu 9.04 | 06:57 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Do you have a GUI preference? | 06:57 |
| vince | Of course If I could tweek the app or Pulseaudio to remove the lag, that would be ideal | 06:57 |
| ultraparadigm | yeah, my shortcut keys aren't responding either | 06:57 |
| mgmuscari | vince: yeah, i could see that happening... the problem is i think that alsa is not controlling the audio device, pulseaudio is | 06:57 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I like gnome (I dont like kde) | 06:58 |
| mgmuscari | vince: i don't think you're going to be able to change that, but you can try using some of the different plugins for PA | 06:58 |
| mgmuscari | vince: i usually have good luck with the PA alsa plugin | 06:58 |

| vince | GeekSquid : Is there anyway to temporarily shut Pulse down and default back to Alsa without removing it compleatly | 06:59 |
| vince | A shell script or command? | 07:00 |
| mgmuscari | vince: i know the feeling... i've often had trouble getting it to play nice with MPD | 07:00 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: It uses the GNOME by default as well | 07:00 |
| GeekSquid | Cozi: List View shows columns | 07:00 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I want recently thinking about opensuse. linux.com says its best for laptop | 07:00 |
| Cozi | oh, k | 07:00 |
| fizk_ | Hey guys, I'm trying to setuid root my script, but running `whoami` inside the script says it's still the current user | 07:00 |
| fizk_ | is that right? | 07:00 |
| greezmunkey | Heh, gDesklets - there's a waste of time! | 07:00 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: 1) your first query had a typo in it and was pretty ambiguous, 2) ask your question, don't ask to ask :) | 07:00 |
| fizk_ | -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root | 07:00 |
| morph_ | what mgmuscari ? | 07:00 |
| mgmuscari | vince: err... you could try pulseaudio -k i think to kill the PA server | 07:01 |
| vince | mgmuscari : So were do I start. I did not know that pulse audio had plugins, Where do I get them, How would I install them and how do they work with the problumatic programs? Do you know a good guide I can look up? Checking google myself now but if you already know something i'd apprciate the benfit of your experiance. | 07:01 |
| vince | No use reinventing the wheel | 07:01 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: you asked and then asked again in all caps - what issue are you having? | 07:01 |
| morph_ | magic mouse on ubuntu | 07:01 |
| ultraparadigm | GeekSquid, What is ccsm? | 07:01 |
| mgmuscari | vince: i know there's an alsa plugin for pulseaudio that alsa-friendly programs can usually make good use of | 07:01 |

| leopard | abhi_nav: openSUSE uses the Linux kernel. It may have some extended proprietary drivers, but still has what you will need. Linux Mint has been said to incluse some proprietary drivers in there distro. Its up to you, though. | 07:02 |

| mgmuscari | morph_: http://game-sat.com/~brian/Howtos/AppleMightyMouse.htm | 07:02 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I am confused between opensuse ubuntu and fedora | 07:03 |
| mgmuscari | earlyy: it probably depends on how many packages you plan to use | 07:03 |

| mgmuscari | earlyy: i think it's safe to say you won't be using compiz and you might want to use alsa or something instead of pulseaudio with that hardware | 07:04 |
| earlyy | just want it for a really basic setup and webserver | 07:04 |
| earlyy | and fileserver at home | 07:04 |

| e3a15 | Hi | 07:04 |
| morph_ | hrm | 07:04 |
| mgmuscari | magic mouse is the multitouch thing? i'm gonna guess there aren't really any drivers for it | 07:05 |

| sate | Hello I found this theme here http://nale12.deviantart.com/art/Silent-Night-II-144768753 , but the archize is zip, so how do i make this theme work mgmuscari | 07:05 |
| morph_ | can i have wine on OSX | 07:05 |
| morph_ | and install deluge | 07:05 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I fount ubuntu community the best community and forums | 07:05 |
| leopard | Well, openSUSE is one I never tried, but I believe they use .rpms, as does Fedora. Ubuntu uses .debs. They all have different package managers and GUI applications. .debs are considered the most widely used. | 07:05 |
| mgmuscari | sate: extract it somewhere and then see about importing the included files into whatever window decorator you use | 07:06 |
| Industrial | Where does ubuntu save its grub menu.lst | 07:06 |
| Industrial | I do not see it in /boot/grub | 07:06 |
| petsounds | sate, extract it and you'll find .tar.gz file | 07:06 |
| GeekSquid | Cozi: nautilus does not have that function ... if you like dolphin .. you can install it and it will run within gnome 'sudo apt-get install dolphin' | 07:06 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: if you're using linux you can probably install wine... i don't see why not... | 07:06 |
| dylan_of_darknes | oh wow only ~4weeks till 10.4 | 07:06 |
| arand | Industrial: you using grub2? | 07:06 |
| morph_ | im on mac osx right now | 07:06 |
| morph_ | dual booting | 07:06 |
| mgmuscari | dylan_of_darknes: meh i just got my 9.10 working satisfactorily :/ | 07:06 |
| quickard | can I permanently install ubuntu alongside of windows on the same hard disk? | 07:06 |
| Myrtti | dylan_of_darknes: more like 7-8 | 07:06 |
| mgmuscari | quickard: yes | 07:07 |
| Cozi | Thanks GeekS | 07:07 |
| morph_ | 9.10 isnt out yet is it | 07:07 |
| faileas | quickard: yes. just resize and install. | 07:07 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: If you searched in Google How to fix X program or X driver in Linux, you will see Ubuntu commands and intention in the majority of the articles. | 07:07 |
| faileas | morph_: its the current release version, so yes, its out | 07:07 |
| Industrial | arand: yes | 07:07 |
| GeekSquid | !karmic | morph_ | 07:07 |
| ubottu | morph_: Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 | 07:07 |
| quickard | without loosing data on my current partitions? | 07:07 |
| dylan_of_darknes | same i only just got on 9.10 yday | 07:07 |
| morph_ | thought u said 10.04 | 07:08 |
| mgmuscari | quickard: yes, but be careful about resizing NTFS partitions | 07:08 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: yah thats right! and thats why I am still here :) :) :) | 07:08 |
| arand | Industrial: then there is no menu.lst | 07:08 |
| arand | !grub2 > Industrial | 07:08 |
| ubottu | Industrial, please see my private message | 07:08 |
| GeekSquid | morph_ 04 being april 10 being 2010 | 07:08 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Most linux distributions that have a decent following and are actively maintained will have a good community. | 07:08 |
| MilitantPotato | quickard: if you do manual partitioning, yes, but don't resize a partition without backing up the data. | 07:09 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: hmm yes | 07:09 |
| quickard | is there a specific tool I should use, or just use ubuntu | 07:09 |
| Guest96272 | whats the terminal command to set dumpcap to run as root? | 07:09 |
| arand | Industrial: You edit /etc/default/grub which propagates to /boot/grub/grub.cfg which is the new equivalent of menu.lst | 07:09 |
| MilitantPotato | quickard: do you need to do any resizing? | 07:09 |
| sate | petsounds: I found the TZ file , but when I try to move the file to appearence, it won't work | 07:09 |
| GeekSquid | Guest96272: sudo dumpcap | 07:09 |
| ultraparadigm | Ok I was able to start compiz and now everything is back to normal, except that compiz isn't starting by itself. Anyone know what might be causing that? | 07:09 |
| MilitantPotato | ultraparadigm: I use fusion-icon for that | 07:09 |
| arand | Industrial: propagation is done when running "grub-update".. | 07:09 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: metacity is probably set as your default window manager | 07:09 |
| earlyy | lol | 07:10 |
| ultraparadigm | I use Avant | 07:10 |
| earlyy | this old pc has windows ME on it | 07:10 |
| earlyy | poor souls | 07:10 |
| quickard | currently I have ubuntu running in demo mode. the installer keeps asking me to partition the drive to do a full install | 07:10 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: if you're referring to AWN, that's a dock program, not your window manager | 07:10 |
| === lovyyy is now known as f33 | ||
| petsounds | sate, what error did you get? | 07:10 |
| sate | petsounds: Could you download that theme, and walk me step by step m8? | 07:10 |
| MilitantPotato | quickard: unless you have an empty partition set aside, you can't do a true install. You can try an install via Wubi in windows, though. That doesn't require re-partitioning. | 07:11 |
| GeekSquid | ultraparadigm: Preferences>Appearence> Visual Effects Tab .. should be set to something other than none | 07:11 |
| petsounds | sate, i have that themes installed :) | 07:11 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Are you looking for a simple distro, or one that sees its users as they "know what they are doing"? | 07:11 |
| mgmuscari | quickard: you need to resize your windows partition to make room for linux on the drive. windows vista and windows 7 can both resize the partitions that they are sitting on, i believe | 07:11 |
| sate | petsounds: How did you do it? | 07:11 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: simple one | 07:11 |
| ultraparadigm | oh, I thought so to, but when it's not running I can't move or rezise my windows. And it's called Avant Window Manager. But it could be the Compiz that was actually controling the window behavior | 07:11 |
| ultraparadigm | You know that makes more sence | 07:11 |
| sate | petsounds: Normally it comes as gz file or w.e, and i drag to themes and it installs, but this is a zip file | 07:11 |
| mgmuscari | it's Avant Window Navigator - i am using it too :) | 07:12 |
| morph_ | if i could get my mouse working on ubuntu | 07:12 |
| morph_ | id use it 99% of the time | 07:12 |
| petsounds | sate, extract the zip | 07:12 |
| danx | ultraparadigm: what happens if you run "metacity &" | 07:12 |
| sate | petsounds: than what? | 07:12 |
| booh- | Grrrrrrrr I don't want to automount of my USB drive!!! How to disable it? I tried some tricks on google without any success... my usb drive always automount. | 07:12 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: add a startup program launcher for compiz --replace | 07:12 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: from a terminal you can run the following when you want to start compiz manually: nohup compiz --replace & | 07:13 |
| ultraparadigm | I don't think I have metacity, but I will tyr | 07:13 |
| mgmuscari | booh-: i think this is a setting you can change in Nautilus | 07:13 |
| petsounds | sate, navigate to system?preferences>appearance and install the one with .tar.gz format | 07:13 |
| === Pak_Avatar is now known as Pak | ||
| danx | morph_: your mouse doesn't work? at all? | 07:13 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Ubuntu, Fedora, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS and Linux Mint all focus primarily on ease of use. They will have what you need. PCLinuxOS, if I remember right, packages many proprietary and popular codecs; like mp3s, in their distro | 07:13 |
| === Pak is now known as Paklight | ||
| abhi_nav | leopard: yah | 07:13 |
| mgmuscari | danx: morph_ is using an apple magic mouse... it's a bluetooth mouse with multitouch surface on top | 07:14 |
| morph_ | cant scroll up/down or left/rogjt danx | 07:14 |
| danx | ultraparadigm: metacity is the default windows manager in Ubuntu, avant is a dock only, compiz is a compositing app | 07:14 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: i really doubt you're going to get that multitouch working for it unless you write a driver | 07:14 |
| morph_ | i honestly prefer ubutu over osx | 07:14 |
| morph_ | but i want my damn mouse | 07:14 |
| sate | Ah that did the trick thanks petsounds | 07:14 |
| morph_ | i cant even write html | 07:14 |
| danx | Lucky morph_, that mouse is awesome | 07:14 |
| petsounds | sate, have fun :) | 07:14 |
| morph_ | yea it is | 07:14 |
| GeekSquid | morph_: than run OSX and run ubuntu in parallels | 07:15 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: To note: in the Ubuntu Software Center; a GUI Add/Remove-style, 'free store', has an extensive section focused on programming. | 07:15 |
| morph_ | no | 07:15 |
| morph_ | more laggy | 07:15 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: you can virtualize ubuntu inside osx without a lot of slowdown | 07:15 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: hmm thnx | 07:15 |
| morph_ | i already got it installed | 07:15 |
| morph_ | if i have to | 07:15 |
| morph_ | ill buy a usb mouse | 07:15 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: No problem. :) | 07:15 |
| morph_ | to use for ubuntu | 07:15 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: there's a guy who works in computing services in my department who runs XP, OSX, and Linux all virtualized together at once | 07:16 |
| quickard | if I install ubuntu via Wubi I read somewhere that I would not have network support, is this true? | 07:16 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: :) | 07:16 |
| morph_ | mgmuscari: whats the program called that starts with a V | 07:16 |
| mgmuscari | quickard: why should that be? | 07:16 |
| morph_ | not VM ware | 07:16 |
| greezmunkey | quickard> not true. | 07:16 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: VirtualBox? | 07:16 |
| GeekSquid | morph_: after looking around 2.6.34 is the first kernel to support the mouse ... wait for the next release or next next release ... | 07:16 |
| netherwolfe | virtualbox? | 07:16 |
| trudelph | voice | 07:16 |
| MilitantPotato | quickard: I don't believe that's correct. The install takes 5 mins, give it a try | 07:16 |
| quickard | thanks guys | 07:16 |
| morph_ | hard to keep up with GeekSquid | 07:16 |
| morph_ | im not to active | 07:17 |
| mgmuscari | morph_: you could always try building your own kernel... but if you're not much of a hacker i wouldn't recommend it | 07:17 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Oops, i forgot to mention; most distro, including Ubuntu, have a LiveCD you can try out without making any changes to the computer. This may aide you in your decision process. | 07:17 |
| greezmunkey | mgmuscari, what's the worst that could happen? | 07:17 |
| h0rnman | good morning,afternoon,evening all | 07:18 |
| mgmuscari | greezmunkey: he could totally bork his ubuntu installation | 07:18 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: i have all major linux live cd. but still cannt make decision. | 07:18 |
| ultraparadigm | mgmuscari, metacity & resulted in: Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager. | 07:18 |
| danx | !hi | h0rnman | 07:18 |
| ubottu | h0rnman: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 07:18 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: yes, you always need to specify --replace to kill the currently running window manager | 07:18 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: I dont want to leave ubuntu community support, but when i read about other distro features I want them also | 07:18 |
| morph_ | see u guys later | 07:19 |
| GeekSquid | ultraparadigm: use metacity --replace & | 07:19 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: whats holding you back? which features, exactly? | 07:19 |
| ultraparadigm | But that means it's not running right? | 07:19 |
| hipitihop | so is there a reverse to this script ? "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily" | 07:19 |
| ultraparadigm | ok, I'll try that | 07:19 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: nohup metacity --replace & | 07:19 |
| mgmuscari | the nohup will keep the process from dying when your bash session exits | 07:19 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: ubuntu is simple to use, problem solved quickly and easly this is the main thing i came to ubuntu (ubuntu cd was shipped to my home ) | 07:19 |
| GeekSquid | mgmuscari: ty for the nohup, ... disown works too | 07:20 |
| ultraparadigm | ok that changed my windows | 07:20 |
| ultraparadigm | and no more compoziting | 07:20 |
| h0rnman | this is going to sound like a rookie question, but can anyone tell me how to find the device to pass to umount a MTP device? | 07:20 |
| === tek is now known as Guest37204 | ||
| danx | h0rman: you can see all mounted devices with "mount" | 07:20 |
| mgmuscari | ultraparadigm: nohup compiz --replace & | 07:21 |
| greezmunkey | MTP? | 07:21 |
| mgmuscari | that will do the same thing | 07:21 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: So is Ubuntu particularly lacking something that you need? | 07:21 |
| quickard | ok, I probably sound retarded but, I origonaly downloaded the ubuntu iso, burned it to cd. then ran it from windows. Im pretty sure now that wubi did the original install. when restarting my computer I get a boot prompt asking me what os to load, I choose ubuntu in normal mode and I get an error message asking me to partition the drive. the only way I am able to run ubuntu is in demo mode. | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | i just do 'compiz --replace &' then the 'exit' command | 07:22 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: No. | 07:22 |
| ultraparadigm | ok everything is all wierd | 07:22 |
| === Matty1452 is now known as UtahKid | ||
| earlyy | hey guys anyone know how ill go about running my mac and my other two comps through one screen? | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | quickard: you sure its not booting FROM the cd? | 07:22 |
| mgmuscari | Dr_Willis: if you exit your shell after starting a child process, then the child process will die too | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | mgmuscari: ive found that to not be the case with many programs. | 07:23 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Linux is not a forced thing. If you don't like it, you don't have to have it. Say, I tried KDE and hated it, but I didn't want GNOME either...all you have to do is add another desktop environment! All you need to do is tell Linux to pick 'that one' and go for it. This is the beauty of Linux. | 07:23 |
| Dr_Willis | they may ne spawning or somthing else.. but ive rarely seen that happen | 07:23 |
| quickard | it very well could be, it was running fine in normal mode when the cd was left in the drive | 07:23 |
| mgmuscari | Dr_Willis: it depends on whether the program "daemonizes" itself or whatever | 07:23 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: do you want to do remote desktop | 07:23 |
| Oasa | i would like to get help about the album art and rhythmbox | 07:23 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: or maybe you want to run a virtual machine? | 07:23 |
| Oasa | my album art stays constant. | 07:23 |
| earlyy | no no | 07:23 |
| Oasa | it shows only the folder.jpg | 07:24 |
| Oasa | But the same files in windows media player i get it right | 07:24 |
| Oasa | any idea? | 07:24 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: yes but somewhere in disadvantages of linux i read that (on wiki think) lots of distro is major disadvantage | 07:24 |
| ultraparadigm | ok so that brings my compiz back :-) and then I can close the consol | 07:24 |
| skippuff54 | early: describe more what u wanna do? | 07:24 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: The fact that there are so many? Or each one has pro/cons? | 07:24 |
| hipitihop | what files are modified/created when I do "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily" ? I want to remove a PPA | 07:25 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: the fact that there are so many | 07:25 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: /etc/apt/sources.list | 07:25 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Only from a competition standpoint. GNU and Linux don't care for competition. So, its not a disadvantage really. | 07:26 |
| Oasa | Please help me, i would like to get the correct album art. All the albums are loaded in Windows Media Player. In rythmbox I see only the folder.jpg file as album art for every file.. I am using Ubuntu Hardy. | 07:26 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, that's what I thought but can't see it there, must be odl age ... I added ppa:ubuntu-voip/asterisk-1.6-testing | 07:26 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: or look in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 07:26 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: hmm | 07:27 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: have you tried amarok as an alternative to rhythmbox? | 07:27 |
| danx | Oasa: Rhythmbox looks for "cover.jpg" in the album's directory | 07:27 |
| earlyy | no virutal machines i have two computers here that i want to set up | 07:27 |
| earlyy | with a single screen | 07:27 |
| earlyy | reduce clutter and keyboards and shit | 07:27 |
| danx | not sure if cover.png works | 07:27 |
| GeekSquid | earlyy: couple of options ... use a KVM switch ... or remotely login into those boxes with the first computer | 07:28 |
| Oasa | danx. That means i have to put each album in different folder | 07:28 |
| hipitihop | GeekSquid, indeed .list.d had it, thanks | 07:28 |
| GeekSquid | hipitihop: no problem | 07:28 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: so you want to use one monitor, keyboard etc? and just to be clear you do have GUI on both right? | 07:28 |
| skippuff54 | also are they both running ubuntu? or different OSes | 07:28 |
| Guest37204 | can I connect to here through ssh? | 07:28 |
| danx | Oasa: yeah, don't you have them that way? | 07:28 |
| GeekSquid | Guest37204: no, ssh and irc are two hugely different protocalls | 07:29 |
| Oasa | no danx. | 07:29 |
| earlyy | sure | 07:29 |

| Guest37204 | my port scan shows a port 22 ssh at this ip | 07:31 |
| greezmunkey | earlyy, I'd do a combo of KVM and remote connections, check this: http://www.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?Section_Id=206977 | 07:31 |
| Teffers | hi all havign soem sligh issues with my ubuntu 9.10 | 07:32 |

| Guest88093 | how can i remote login to windows machine from a linux machine | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey | earlyy, I used one of these KVMs today, they are nice. | 07:32 |
| === sacho_ is now known as Sacho | ||
| Oasa | skippuff54 aramok is the package name ? | 07:32 |
| Oasa | skippuff54 : I will give it a try give me. | 07:32 |
| Guest37204 | you guys see it? | 07:32 |
| Guest88093 | how can i remote login to windows machine from a linux machine | 07:32 |
| JumboJellyfish | Oasa, amarok | 07:32 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: i dunno what exactly KVM is but it does seem like u would need some kinda hardware interface | 07:33 |
| leopard | Guest88093: Install openSSH on the Windows machine and SSH into it. | 07:33 |
| Oasa | is ryhtmbox the default player in 9.10 too ? | 07:33 |
| greezmunkey | earlyy, on the link, I am referring to the "soho" | 07:33 |
| leopard | Oasa: Yes. | 07:33 |
| Guest37204 | telnet even lolz | 07:33 |
| Guest88093 | leopard: how can i login through open ports | 07:34 |
| GeekSquid | Guest37204: only one of many irc servers, and while you may be able to try to connect via ssh to the server, it won't let you in .. because there is an encrypted keyfile for logging into that server. which you don't have ... and besides you wouldn't be logging on to the irc server, just the bash prompt of the server ... It will never work though ... you are not a freenode operator or administrator.. they are the only ones who can login to the freenode | 07:34 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: rhythmbox is default for the GNOME desktop in ubuntu, amarok is a KDE app but it still works awesome in GNOME | 07:34 |
| Oasa | okay skippuff54. | 07:35 |
| Teffers | i seem to suddenly hti a wall while tryign to connect to wifi accses point and when i try to now connect with my mobile brioadband dongle that connects but then has issues with i cann only connect vir ip adress which seems to make me think dhcp issues but i uninstaqll and did a fressh install and still seem to be gettign the same issues could dns issues cause dhcp to time out and deauth from my router and obviously dns issues are | 07:35 |
| Guest88093 | Oasa: try Songbird | 07:35 |
| Teffers | it is also doign this on a fresh install | 07:35 |
| Guest37204 | ok | 07:35 |
| Guest37204 | ty | 07:35 |
| === Guest88093 is now known as ranjan | ||
| leopard | Guest88093: If the telnet into the open port; I believe there is a specific default one but I usually SSH into my machines. | 07:35 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: i'm not trying to sell you on amarok, but it sounds like you want something a little more feature rich....you can get it from synaptic and run it, run rhythmbox and just see what fits your needs better | 07:35 |
| dooglus | hi people. what's the recommended replacement for microsoft's office 'publisher' program? I have some .pub files I need to open | 07:35 |
| Oasa | i have started installing skippuff54 | 07:36 |
| danx | Oasa: do you have ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers directory? | 07:36 |
| Oasa | hope its stable in gnome | 07:36 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: word, tell us what you think | 07:36 |
| Oasa | let me check danx | 07:36 |
| h0rnman | greezmunkey, sorry, had a minor emergency...MTP is media transfer protocol. It is used by MP3 players and some digital cameras | 07:36 |
| ranjan | leopard: but i dont think we can do much controls like a linux box in windows | 07:36 |
| skippuff54 | yeah it is by 9.10 | 07:36 |
| Oasa | i use hardy | 07:36 |
| hipitihop | Oasa, last time I checked there wasn't one but that was a while back to I would be interested to see if someone has an answer | 07:36 |
| Oasa | waiting for lynx | 07:36 |
| skippuff54 | as long as you have plenty of RAM | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | h0rnman, no worries, I looked it up :) | 07:37 |
| Oasa | yes danx i have that directory | 07:37 |
| Oasa | i have only 1 gb | 07:37 |
| Teffers | can anyone help me wiht my issue | 07:37 |
| Oasa | danx i have that folder but there is nothing in it | 07:37 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: you think you"ll spring for the KVM or you still want a software-only aka free solution | 07:38 |
| leopard | Guest88093: What do you mean? When you remote login to the machine; that is precisely what you are doing. If you coming from a Linux Box, and you connect to a Windows host, your going to get a CMD prompt. | 07:38 |
| leopard | That was @ ranjan, sorry | 07:38 |
| h0rnman | so, that being said, does anyone know how you could find the name to pass to umount of a MTP device that does not show up in mtab? | 07:38 |
| ranjan | leopard: i mean that we cant control as windows box by command as flexibly as a linux box | 07:38 |
| danx | Oasa: for what I've read, ther is a plug in that gets you the album art, it works with files in that directory and an XML in ~/gnome2/rhythmbox (rhythmdb.xml) | 07:39 |
| greezmunkey | h0rnman, there is a bunch of info on Ubuntu and MTP, there for the googlin' | 07:39 |
| leopard | ranjan: That is true. Its still possible though. | 07:39 |
| leopard | abhi_nav: Have you progressed in your decision? | 07:39 |
| ranjan | leopard: can i display messages boxes in the windows box through command line like we have zenity in linux | 07:40 |
| abhi_nav | leopard: not actually. for the time being happy with ubuntu | 07:40 |
| earlyy | skippuff54 sure shoot...ive worked with virtual machines a small bit before...its just most of my hardware it oudated and single core processors so i want this switch to link everything up | 07:40 |
| earlyy | mainly my PC and MAC | 07:40 |
| m_anish | Hi, is there a python application in ubuntu for plotting real-time star-charts? | 07:40 |
| Oasa | danx where do i get that plugin ? | 07:40 |
| h0rnman | greezmunkey, yeah, but all of it seems to deal with Mounting, not unmounting :) | 07:40 |
| danx | Oasa: you probably have it already | 07:41 |
| ranjan | leopard: ok i found out the windows version of zenity...thanks | 07:41 |
| leopard | ranjan: no problem | 07:41 |
| greezmunkey | g'night | 07:41 |
| Oasa | yeah coverart plugin | 07:41 |
| Oasa | but i have enabled it | 07:41 |
| wrapster | which is the toolkit that will list various processor info ? | 07:42 |
| danx | Oasa: if you don't have it -> (the last one) http://live.gnome.org/RhythmboxPlugins/ThirdParty | 07:42 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: just curious what you are leanin towards | 07:42 |
| Leela | hi there. does anyone know a helpchannel for Linux Mint? | 07:42 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: you might wanna check youtube actually for videos of virtual machine applications, maybe you will get some ideas | 07:42 |
| skippuff54 | if you can see them in motion | 07:42 |
| Oasa | danx. I have enabled that plugin already. | 07:43 |
| danx | Oasa: it's a different one, this one is "album art search" | 07:43 |
| Oasa | skippuff54 : amarok is done. let me see if it shows. Its building database | 07:43 |
| skippuff54 | earlyy: again just curious, what do you need each OS for? | 07:44 |
| Oasa | danx. okay | 07:44 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: cool, let us know what you think. for album art, you may need to organize the collection first, and then right-click and ask it fetch the artwork | 07:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Leela: the mint homepage tells where their channel is. | 07:44 |
| Oasa | danx : The plugin looks cool | 07:45 |
| Oasa | danx : let me see if it works | 07:45 |
| Leela | ok thanks Dr_Willis | 07:45 |

| Oasa | danx : there is no readme file. | 07:47 |
| Oasa | danx. I did extract it | 07:48 |
| nomad77 | Leela: the link i posted,go to bottom of page says the irc network; its not here on freenode | 07:48 |
| Oasa | danx : There is 1 py thon script | 07:48 |
| danx | Leela: that's what linuxmint website said... sorry it's empty :( | 07:48 |

| m_anish | Hi, is there a python application in ubuntu for plotting real-time star-charts? | 07:49 |
| danx | Oasa: you problably just need to copy it all to rhythmbox plugins folder then | 07:49 |
| Leela | different server | 07:49 |
| nomad77 | Leela: xchat does multiple servers,konversation etc.. | 07:50 |
| Leela | i know nomad77 :) | 07:50 |
| ttyX | what package does ubuntu use to read the deb packages using archiver? | 07:50 |
| Oasa | skippuff54 : is there a way by which aramok looks like Rhythmbox I mean the Collection to appear the entire screen ?? | 07:51 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: yeah a couple of things - you should be able to close the playlist window so that the collection window there on the left opens across the screen | 07:52 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: another suggestion would be to organize your collection so that amarok understands artist/album info a little better, then it cleans up that collection window on the left nicely | 07:53 |
| listedaswanted | Hi guys I was wondering what type of filesystem ubuntu uses? | 07:53 |
| skippuff54 | oasa: that will let you search your music and all kinds of stuff | 07:53 |
| ttyX | listedaswanted: by default ext4 | 07:54 |
| listedaswanted | what is the difference between ext4 and say NTFS? | 07:54 |
| leopard | Did you guys know that you can press Alt+F2 and type in 'free the fish' (without the quotes), hit enter and get a virtual fish on your screen? Its funny, I have had it going for a while now, its cool but getting annoying, lol. | 07:56 |

| Oasa | danx: pywebkitgtk and mako template both i cant find in repo :S | 07:59 |
| hipitihop | this may be really newbie question, but how does one delete an entire directory and files recursively from the command line | 07:59 |
| danx | Oasa: what is asking for pywebkitgtk? you can search with "apt-cache search <yourkeywords>" in command line. | 08:00 |

| phaidonx1 | Hi. I am trying to install a wireless card (Intel 2200BG, mini-pci) on my small computer. it seems like the ipw2200 properly loads and the wireless card is detected (it shows up in iwconfig), however, it says next to it "unassociated" . is that normal? I can't get it to connect to anything of course .... | 08:21 |
| phaidonx1 | (btw, I have a minimal install, so I only have access to a shell) | 08:21 |
| psycho_oreos | phaidonx1, I think unassociated is how it'll normally set itself as | 08:23 |
| psycho_oreos | you should be able to associate it to an AP | 08:24 |
| phaidonx1 | I am trying to set up an adhoc network actually. on my computer it says IEEE 802.11abgn, but on the other one it stays unassociated even if I set the mode to ad-hoc and set the ESSID | 08:25 |

| phaidonx1 | btw, it also says Cell: Not-Associated | 08:27 |
| psycho_oreos | not that I've experience in setting up ad-hoc, but you might need to specify key, if any and try obtaining IP address, usually dmesg would provide more useful info | 08:28 |

| rabbit1 | ultraparadigm: my phpinfo file is in www<- var <- / | 08:51 |

| ultraparadigm | then you want chmod 722 /var/www | 08:53 |
| llutz | ultraparadigm: read "man chmod" why he won't | 08:53 |

| chiiiiiz | Is it possible to remove applications that are bundled? For instance, if I want to remove ffado with synaptic, it will ask me top remove the whole ubuntustudio-audio package... but I do not simpply need this ffado thing... Is there a way to do it without removing the whole ubuntustudio-audio metapackage? | 09:00 |
| llutz | !webmin | rabbit1 | 09:00 |
| ubottu | rabbit1: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 09:00 |
| ultraparadigm | pay hudress of $$$ and still have spyware, and still have complicated configureations. Mac everything just works. Another 10 years even Linux will be easier than windows | 09:00 |

| rabbit1 | skippuff54: ebox looks good, shld try it | 09:03 |
| ultraparadigm | Anyone here get hulu to work in firefox? | 09:03 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1 that is cool i understand, what are you goin for exactly? and i will take ebox for a test drive | 09:03 |
| ultraparadigm | I can't get it to work, it says that the video couldn't connect, but it works in it's own client. | 09:03 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: thx | 09:03 |
| Guest55708 | get the hulu desktop for ubuntu its cool | 09:03 |
| skippuff54 | ultraparadigm: you mean hulu the tv site? | 09:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ultraparadigm: I got Huludesktop player working.. it worked.. and so did the site for me | 09:04 |
| Guest55708 | yes | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Hulu can be flakey | 09:04 |
| Guest55708 | get the xbmc | 09:04 |
| ultraparadigm | Yeah it rocks, I DLed it yesterday. But wondering why it wouldn't work in firefox and if I was the only one. and wondering if it's a flash issue | 09:04 |
| ultraparadigm | ok thanks Dr_Willis | 09:04 |
| jdv | when you "test" the audio input in gstreamer, would you expect to normally be able to hear your voice through the speakers during the test? | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | ultraparadigm: 90% of the time - its always a flash issue.. or a issue with how the site is using flash | 09:04 |
| rabbit1 | skippuff54: just trying to build a site, and i develop it in my own place and pace, so security is not a concern, also its not deployed here in my place. | 09:04 |
| Guest55708 | flash in ubuntu has a lot of bugs | 09:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest55708: 'flash has a lot of bugs' | 09:05 |
| kotsifas | i have some issues with my mouse | 09:05 |
| llutz | flash is a bug | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | and sites using it poorly is a bigger bug. | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Guest55708: no - flash on linux is not %100 stable, it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 09:05 |
| skippuff54 | ultraparadigm: i can play video from the hulu web site, i dunno about the desktop player | 09:05 |
| rabbit1 | is this Dr_Willis is same working with Google? | 09:05 |
| listedaswanted | Which Windows file system is more likely to be used in an enterprise-level environment? | 09:05 |
| kotsifas | hello | 09:05 |
| ikonia | listedaswanted: ask in ##windows | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: huh? | 09:05 |
| Guest55708 | because on windows it works fine | 09:05 |
| kotsifas | i hahve installed 9.10 | 09:05 |
| ultraparadigm | Dr_Willis, funny thing is that the program when I installed it asked me where my flash was, and I pointed it to the same flash .so that firefox uses, and it works in the client, just not in firefox. | 09:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest55708: becuase flash devs test it more on windows.so they fix the bugs there. | 09:05 |
| faileas | listedaswanted: that's really a windows question. chances are whatever it is, ubuntu should be able to handle it ;p | 09:05 |
| overmind | Guest55708: Flash works fine for me | 09:06 |
| Guest55708 | whats i386 erro mean | 09:06 |
| listedaswanted | lol | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive had flash work fine.. then a site updates/changes stuff.. and flashbreaks on that site only... | 09:06 |
| Quan-Time | listedaswanted: the built in file explorer im guessing. BUT ive seen "directory opus" used in some situations. | 09:06 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: whr u work ? | 09:06 |

| ultraparadigm | Guest55708, is your computer 32 bit or 64bit? | 09:06 |
| Dr_Willis | rabbit1: i work for Chrysler. | 09:06 |
| Guest55708 | 32 | 09:06 |
| ultraparadigm | ok, then I dunno | 09:06 |
| rabbit1 | skippuff54: so,... wht do u suggest now then? | 09:07 |
| rabbit1 | skippuff54: should i goahead with the /var/www folder only ? | 09:07 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1 what is your hangup again? | 09:07 |
| Quan-Time | Guest55708: flash in ubuntu works fine, IF you set it up properly.. | 09:07 |
| ultraparadigm | but probably means that the program has an issue with your processor, or conflicting with the type | 09:07 |
| rabbit1 | Dr_Willis: as wht ? if i can know | 09:07 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1, you are trying to configure apache-php right? | 09:07 |
| Quan-Time | and by properly i mean,, dont mess with settings.. just install the SUN package to latest version, and for browser (firefox) it should be sorted. | 09:07 |
| rabbit1 | i never found a player like winamp for linux. may b i dono. any suggestion? | 09:08 |
| === erez is now known as Infin1ty | ||

| skippuff54 | rabbit1 ok i guess im confused, are you still havin an issue? also did you try xmms | 09:09 |
| jdv | When I unmute my mic in sound, it doesnt save the unmuted state, so it auto mutes as soon as I leave | 09:09 |

| llutz | litropy:sorry $ head -1 $(ls -1t) | 09:11 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: yeah man /var/www should suit you as a top level folder for storing all your sites and their related directories. i would keep data sources somewhere else | 09:11 |
| ultraparadigm | Anyone know the command for Nautilus? | 09:11 |
| ikonia | it's nautilus - that's the command | 09:11 |

| alzamabar | Hi is it possible to use a unix shortcut to edit the last output from a command? E.g. I just ran a grep which came back with a single result. Next I'd like to vi the file expressed by that result, but without having to type the full file name. I though there was something like vim $! or !vim or something similar... | 09:12 |
| === tek is now known as Guest45241 | ||
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: i figured you would complete your due diligence before installing anything. but i think you would be safe to use audacious | 09:12 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: set -o vim | 09:12 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: then use the vim editor / nagivation keys to nagivate around the command | 09:13 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: or - just push the up arrow in bash and edit the command | 09:13 |
| rabbit1 | xmms2 better than amarok ? | 09:13 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: ive used amarok | 09:13 |
| skippuff54 | amarok is resource heavy | 09:13 |
| Guest45241 | whats it mean You failed to identify in time | 09:13 |
| skippuff54 | if you have the RAM it is awesome but if you want somethin lightweight you should look elsewhere | 09:13 |
| hapik | hi, short question from unexpirienced linux user: how to mount a disk with user privialges with mount command? sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/xyz makes it read-only (don't need mount it from /etc/fstab) | 09:13 |
| alzamabar | ikonia, if I press the up arrow I get my grep command, not the result | 09:13 |
| rabbit1 | skippuff54: amarok is heavy and not as winamp, winamp is the best windows application ever | 09:14 |

| Guest55708 | how long have you been using ubuntu | 09:14 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: i agree, i think audacious is the supported incarnation of the xmms project | 09:14 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: yes, you can't get the results output back | 09:15 |
| alzamabar | ikonia: This came back with /home/user/foo/bar/log.txt | 09:15 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: I understand | 09:15 |
| alzamabar | ikonia: Then I would like a shortcut to edit /home/user/foo/bar/log.txt instead of typing vim /home/... I'd like something like !vim | 09:15 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: leavin winamp behind was like movin outta town and sayin farewell to an old friend | 09:15 |
| ikonia | alzamabar: you're not going to get that | 09:15 |
| rabbit1 | skippuff54: biggest prob is of the codecs, hope xmms2 wont have that prob | 09:15 |
| skippuff54 | rabbit1: you might also like gxine | 09:16 |
| alzamabar | ikonia: An alternative would be to pass it to xargs, but then I don't know if the grep returned anything at all | 09:16 |

| llutz | alzamabar: and make sure, apache listens not only at 127.0.0.1 too | 10:21 |
| BladeNBrocade | mneptok: correct but having that in localhost wont allow apache to listen on outside interface... | 10:21 |

| jakiw | I get an Error each Time I try to install something with apt-get | 10:22 |

| iceroot | spokes: there are two lines starting with # and containing something like deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner | 10:22 |

| iceroot | spokes: remove the # in the two lines and save the file | 10:23 |
| BladeNBrocade | or optionally setup local dns | 10:23 |
| alzamabar | llutz: Now my machine name resolves to 192.168.0.3 | 10:23 |
| iceroot | spokes: then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread | 10:23 |
| BladeNBrocade | alzamabar: correct but thats locally and to apache... | 10:23 |
| rww | jakiw: What's the error message? | 10:23 |
| llutz | alzamabar: you have to do that on each machine inside your network, if you don't have a dns-server | 10:23 |
| BladeNBrocade | so now try to access the ip from remote.. not the hostname | 10:23 |
| BladeNBrocade | and apache will answer because if ServerName is hostname and hostname --> ip apache is listening on ip and not loopback anymore | 10:24 |
| jakiw | rww E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) And Synpatic says 56 packages are broken because the depency isnt right | 10:24 |
| BladeNBrocade | but you still need to modify hosts file on remote servers to access by ip | 10:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !info warzone2100-video | 10:24 |
| BladeNBrocade | hostname rather | 10:24 |

| === toto is now known as Guest89261 | ||
| exploit | hello | 10:41 |
| iceroot | spokes: sorry, it was su - username instead of su username | 10:41 |
| rww | jakiw: correct. Run `echo '#!/bin/sh' > sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/irssi.postrm` . That should fix up that file. Once you do that, try `sudo apt-get -f install` again and pastebin its output again. | 10:41 |
| Ek|mu5 | has anyone got word on the xorg/gnome-power-manager bug that blanks the screen at random? | 10:42 |
| iceroot | spokes: with chmod but normally there is a reason why a file is readonly | 10:42 |
| rww | jakiw: (my apologies for the odd commands I'm having you run. This issue is a little complicated.) | 10:42 |
| jakiw | rww Can u again post the exact Command I should use now? | 10:42 |
| jakiw | rww Have I to do it with the ''? | 10:42 |
| rww | jakiw: echo '#!/bin/sh' > sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/irssi.postrm | 10:42 |
| Ek|mu5 | It also affects gnome-network-manager which assumes that the computer has gone to sleep and disconnects WiFi connections at random | 10:42 |
| jakiw | rww as root? | 10:43 |
| jakiw | rww oh | 10:43 |
| jakiw | rww it is as root | 10:43 |
| rww | indeed | 10:43 |
| holmser | how can I restart an x session? ctrl alt backspace isn't working | 10:43 |
| exploit | some one know what is the back track linux IRC adress? | 10:43 |
| spokes | iceroot: The file says it is writeable, but when I access in VI it states it is a readonly file. this file is an install script, but it is failing when running and I'm trying to figure out why it is failing | 10:43 |
| iceroot | holmser: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 10:43 |

| bazhang | exploit, yes | 10:44 |
| jakiw | rww still gives the same error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384997/ | 10:44 |
| iceroot | spokes: why need write-access to an install-script? | 10:44 |
| bazhang | exploit, also on freenode servers, if that is what you mean | 10:44 |
| jakiw | rww the other command u gave me doesnt give any output | 10:44 |
| spokes | iceroot: I want to place some echo statements in the script to see the settings of some of the variables and try to determine the reason for the failure | 10:45 |
| jakiw | rww I dont know if it is important, but do u see that it has problems removing irssi? (Its written on german) | 10:45 |
| jakiw | rww Can I somehow change it to english, so u can read it better? | 10:46 |
| iceroot | spokes: can you post the output of ls -l /path/to/your/file | 10:46 |
| rww | jakiw: yeah, it's the same error message. What's happening is that it's trying to remove irssi, but can't run the post-removal script for some reason. Since it's in the middle of doing that, it doesn't want to do anything else at the same time. | 10:46 |
| rww | so debconf and probably other things won't install. | 10:47 |
| oskar- | jakiw: change the ">" to a "|" in the command | 10:47 |

| Josh90 | jakiw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/384999/ | 10:48 |

| iceroot | neil_d: hm, ok. i am just using vlc and dont have such problems with it | 10:52 |
| spokes | BladeNBrocade: Interesting. When I execute bash -x ./runInstaller then the install script works | 10:53 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, in a terminal try "mplayer -vo x11 $FILENAME" then "mplayer -vo gl $FILENAME" and see if one works (it should) | 10:53 |
| BladeNBrocade | spokes: possibly its that your calling bash directly | 10:55 |
| neil_d | ZykoticK9: the "-vo x11" seems to work good! the "-vo gl" flickers very badly | 10:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, does x11 have fullscreen video though? | 10:57 |
| spokes | BladeNBrocade: I thought that when I'm in terminal that the default shell is bash | 10:57 |

| jaims | anyone from chile? there was a huge earth quake over there right about now | 10:58 |
| BladeNBrocade | spokes: grep $user /etc/passwd | 10:58 |
| BladeNBrocade | and thats your default shell | 10:58 |
| neil_d | ZykoticK9: not really.. it goes full screen but only puts the picture in the middle with a lot of black around it. | 10:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, are you using an mplayer frontend of some sort? if so, there should be some way to set the default vo device. | 10:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, try ..."-vo gl2" and see if it works | 10:59 |
| BladeNBrocade | there may also be something wrong with the #! line in the script and its calling the command interpreter,, that apparently calling it directly may remediate? | 10:59 |

| llcoolhodge | http://i50.tinypic.com/301olso.png | 11:01 |
| rww | jakiw: Anyways. We figured out why that first echo command I gave you didn't work. If you haven't already, run this corrected one: | 11:02 |
| jakiw | rww Ye, that time it was a very strange crash. The screen froze and the Caps Lock blinked | 11:02 |
| rww | jakiw: echo '#!/bin/sh' | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/irssi.postrm | 11:02 |
| harisund | Can someone tell me why my apt-get hangs at 99% [Waiting for headers] on one of my machines but works fine on other machines on the same LAN? | 11:02 |

| jakiw | rww Output is: #!/bin/sh What shall I do now? | 11:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | neil_d, well check in the options for vo or Video Out -- to see a list of all possible vo devices you can use "mplayer -vo help" and it will list a bunch more options, you can try experimenting and see which one works best for you. I gotta go, so best of luck. | 11:04 |

| dr-nicto | Question: How do I enter WINEDEBUG=-all into wine? | 11:07 |

| pw-toxic_ | hi | 11:09 |
| meco | rww: I added the HArdy Partner repository to Synaptic, but it still can't find Opera | 11:09 |
| rww | jakiw: no problem. You might want to check that you have the "ubuntu-standard" and "ubuntu-minimal" packages install. They install other packages (like debconf) that you really should have installed, and since debconf wasn't installed for some reason, it'd be worth checking. | 11:09 |
| pw-toxic_ | i'd like to install ubuntu via network.. can someone tell me how or give a good link with a howto? | 11:09 |
| dr-nicto | Question: How do I enter WINEDEBUG=-all into my dragon age origions game or wine ? | 11:09 |
| jakiw | rww So they are like alternatives to debconf? | 11:10 |
| rww | jakiw: I'll rephrasee: ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal install basic system utilities (debconf is a basic system utility) that you should have installed. | 11:11 |
| rww | rephrase **] | 11:11 |
| jakiw | rww ok, they already are installed! | 11:12 |

| red | fedora_newb: I use Geany (better than Bluefish imho, not too bloated) | 11:15 |
| meco | rww: It's ok now. | 11:15 |
| red | what it does is hilights programming tags atleast | 11:15 |

| fedora_newb | red, i was using gedit, but read somewhere that bluefish the the tag highlighting, but it doesnt | 11:15 |
| meco | rww: It worked after I had added that deb line to the file you told me | 11:15 |
| red | give a go for geany | 11:15 |
| red | absolutely the best replacement for notepad++ i've found | 11:16 |
| fedora_newb | red, does it do tag highlighting or is there a plugin for it? | 11:16 |

| rww | iAmerikan: no, it isn't ready yet | 11:24 |
| iAmerikan | How long should I wait? | 11:24 |
| rww | m0ar: in practise, I've noticed that update-manager also reinstalls ubuntu-desktop and any recommends of it when you use it. | 11:24 |
| rww | iAmerikan: until it's released at the end of April | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: check the script out and the progrema homepage/forums there maybe some option you need to use. | 11:24 |
| spokes | Dr_Willis: the installer uses Java to execute the installation | 11:24 |
| m0ar | rww: Oh, since I use the Lucid alpha, dist-upgrade is fine? | 11:24 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: so basically its installing premade binaries some where. | 11:25 |
| red | oh and fedora_newb, you could always use the [-] on the left side to minimize the div | 11:25 |
| red | fedora_newb: that way you would see matching tag easily :) | 11:25 |
| iAmerikan | rww: I wouldn't have asked or anything, it's just the first time I've seen it in the upgrade mgr | 11:25 |
| lorenzo_ | #ubuntu-it | 11:25 |
| rww | m0ar: If you're already on Lucid, you don't need to dist-upgrade at all. The "alpha" and "beta" milestones are identical to what you have with normal updates. | 11:25 |
| fedora_newb | red, still want the tag highlight :P | 11:25 |
| rww | iAmerikan: yeah, -d will prompt you to install development releases. You shouldn't do this, because they aren't supported and are broken. | 11:25 |
| red | me too :) | 11:26 |
| rww | m0ar: in future, by the way, Lucid questions go in #ubuntu+1. | 11:26 |
| m0ar | rww: I upgraded to lucid a while ago, did my last apt-get upgrade a few days ago. Now, dist-upgrade installed 250MB's for me | 11:26 |
| m0ar | rww: Yeah, sure | 11:26 |
| spokes | Dr_Willis: That is correct | 11:26 |
| m0ar | rww: So it does update and install apckages | 11:26 |
| iAmerikan | rww: thanks | 11:26 |
| spokes | Dr_Willis: I specify the directory and it creates the directory and then begins the installation | 11:26 |
| rww | m0ar: I imagine the difference in this case is that it's installing extra recommends from ubuntu-desktop or something like that. | 11:26 |
| m0ar | rww: What's that? :c | 11:26 |
| Moral_ | um | 11:27 |
| Moral_ | I accidentally removed the toolbar | 11:27 |
| Moral_ | from my terminal how do I get it back, lol. | 11:27 |
| spokes | Dr_Willis: I guess I could create the directory ahead of time, but I would like to be able to specify the directory and then the installation create the directories | 11:27 |
| rww | m0ar: ask in #ubuntu+1, I'm about to go to sleep :\ | 11:28 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: seems loke an odd bug if it cant write to its own dirrectories its made. | 11:28 |

| Dr_Willis | {C}ronos: you are not beinv very clear.. one runs.. asks for some input.. then goes on... | 11:31 |

| spokes | Dr_Willis: How do I set the user to have directory creation permissions? | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: seems weird, You could run th installer with sudo I guess.. but that sounds like a nasty way to do it | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: if its in their home dir. they allready do. | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | spokes: any system dirs.. they do not | 11:32 |
| spokes | Dr_Willis: it is not in the home directory. Can I change so it has permissions to create outside of its home directory | 11:33 |

| TSK | Greetings. I have a question about memory usage. If I had 4 gig when I installed and had to remove 2 gig of it later due to memory gone bad, leaving me with only 2 gig now, could/would that affect (in a negative way) how efficiently my system uses the 2 gig of memory I have left? | 11:38 |
| edeca | TSK: You'll just have less memory | 11:39 |
| edeca | TSK: Do you have swap? | 11:39 |
| soicon | TSK: the system memory no longer operates in dual channel mode , maybe slower | 11:40 |
| TSK | edeca: Yes indeed, I do have swap. However, it appears as if my system is running out of memory entirely to easily (causing it to have to swap much harder than seems reasonable for having 2 gig of RAM on a Linux box). | 11:40 |
| TSK | *too easily | 11:41 |
| edeca | TSK: What is on it? A server? A full WM environment? | 11:41 |
| Josh90 | Could anyone help me get this working. http://paste.ubuntu.com/385018/ | 11:41 |

| TSK | edeca: Desktop machine | 11:41 |
| Josh90 | Pleas? | 11:41 |
| edeca | TSK: What does swapon -s show? | 11:41 |
| edeca | TSK: Or run something like htop and check the swap | 11:41 |
| TSK | 2 gig SHOULD still be more than enough for a Linux desktop to perform well. That's why it seems odd. | 11:41 |
| mneptok | TSK: free -m | 11:42 |
| edeca | Josh90: You haven't said what is broken | 11:42 |
| TSK | Well, right this moment, it's using 630.8 meg of swap. | 11:42 |
| soicon | TSK: do you run Virtual machine ? | 11:42 |
| TSK | soicon: Not at the moment, no. | 11:42 |

| edeca | Josh90: ./Script | 11:43 |

| web5|org|ua | HOW to access through samba via network mounted ntfs partition on linux server ? | 11:44 |
| TSK | edeca: Well, it's a bit more'n $10 to grab another 2 gig of RAM to replace what was lost, but aye. It's looking as though I'm likely going to have to grab more RAM, as it was generally almost NEVER touching swap at all when I had 4Gig, even when I did run VMs. :) | 11:44 |
| edeca | web5|org|ua: Which bit are you having trouble with? You need to edit the samba config to allow access to it | 11:44 |
| edeca | TSK: Yea, I only have 2GB in my work desktop and it's quite usable even with a VM | 11:45 |

| web5|org|ua | edeca: mounted partition in /media have rwx------ permission and i can only see the name, can't browse | 11:46 |

| gordonjcp | OerHeks: I have unetbootin, I have the iso, I ran unetbootin, the disk is *not bootable* | 12:21 |
| frankS2 | Kentrel: cat /var/log/messages.* | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | frankS2: computer shops | 12:21 |
| OerHeks | a .iso file is an 1:1 copy of a completed cd, unetbootin can handle the format | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | OerHeks: or rather, it boots, but hangs immediately with a black screen | 12:21 |
| Kentrel | frank, that file ends with a lot of binary data | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | OerHeks: I know what an .iso is | 12:22 |

| WOLF85 | i would like to know, how can i install | 12:52 |
| WOLF85 | amsn in xubuntu tst version | 12:53 |
| WOLF85 | last | 12:53 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, did you do apt-cache search amsn? | 12:53 |
| gnomemercy | Nic it looks like you need to fix the problem inside your yahoo account settings, I would check that first | 12:53 |
| WOLF85 | i'm a novice please can you tell me the step that i have to do? | 12:53 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, First you do an apt-cache search amsn | 12:54 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, that will help you find the package name | 12:54 |
| WOLF85 | i tell you more | 12:54 |
| WOLF85 | i went in the site of amsn | 12:54 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, then when you find the package name you want, you do an apt-get get install ${packagename}, where ${packagename} is the package name you found in apt-cache | 12:54 |
| WOLF85 | package but i can't find the right version | 12:54 |
| === andrew_ is now known as Guest81853 | ||

| WOLF85 | i know.. | 12:56 |
| WOLF85 | thank you guys | 12:56 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, If you know, why are you looking on the amsn website? | 12:56 |
| * dlynes shakes his head. | 12:56 | |
| WOLF85 | because | 12:56 |
| WOLF85 | i'm a noob with xubuntu | 12:57 |
| WOLF85 | and i would like to know | 12:57 |
| dlynes | apt-get/apt-cache is pretty much all you need to know | 12:57 |
| WOLF85 | the step that i have to do with my wondow shell | 12:57 |
| dlynes | And I think ubuntu also has synaptic package manager | 12:57 |
| dlynes | WOLF85, synaptic should completely free you from using apt-get/apt-cache, if you're not trying to do anything out of the ordinary | 12:58 |
| WOLF85 | so i open a shell and i wrote apt/get | 12:58 |
| WOLF85 | and then? | 12:58 |

| jbee | bekks: danke! | 12:59 |
| dlynes | Or, at least I'm assuming it's the same package name on ubuntu (I'm on debian at the moment...I only use ubuntu at work) | 13:00 |

| littlegirl | dlynes: Any time! Did you try it and like it? | 13:22 |

| dlynes | littlegirl, from those links, I think what I'm going to do, is use my existing pxe boot installer, and do preseeding | 13:23 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Were either of those able to do it? | 13:23 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Wow, you just totally lost me. (: | 13:24 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: What's preseeding? | 13:24 |
| surjya | hi geeks ... a very simple question i hav | 13:24 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, Check your ubuntu installer cd (as long as you're not using the network installer)...you'll see a directory on there called 'preseed' | 13:24 |
| surjya | Now i am installing iw for my wireless card | 13:25 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Interesting. (: | 13:25 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, yeah..it's an alternative to doing quikstart | 13:25 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: And you can customize that? | 13:25 |
| WizardOfOz | Hello, I have downloaded and install VirtualBox on Ubuntu REmix, now how do I erm install XP on it ? | 13:25 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, it's a little more involved, but it's way more customizable than quikstart | 13:25 |
| surjya | while doing "make" it tells to set environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH for libnl | 13:26 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: But at least you'll be able to create the installer you want, right? | 13:26 |
| surjya | I dont know how to do it | 13:26 |
| surjya | can anybody pleasee help | 13:26 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, and so i can make two preseeds...one for my master nodes, and one for my slave nodes | 13:26 |

| === arkangelp is now known as fremapesua | ||
| littlegirl | dlynes: Yeah, I'm just figuring if you need to do it more than once, you might want to turn the steps into an interactive script, at least. | 13:28 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, Only need to do it once, so that some other low paid people can do all the drudge work | 13:28 |

| dlynes | littlegirl, It goes through and installs all my packages that I need, nvidia opengl drivers, drbl, ... | 13:29 |

| littlegirl | dlynes: I've noticed that as well. My son installed Karmic and now our NFS is all messed up (and so is his networking, darn it). | 13:33 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, the problem is that the nfs daemons don't load in the right order, and I don't have the time, or the inclination to figure out what's loading in what order, because Jaunty seems to work | 13:34 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, We were getting about 4 out of 7 nfs mounts mounting over a pxe boot | 13:35 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: In mine, if I click on Settings and then CD/DVD-ROM, I can point VirtualBox at an ISO. Is that how yours is set up? | 13:35 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: I wonder why it's doing that. It's crashing our file managers when it mounts and unmounts, and it's mounting and unmounting randomly throughout the day. Very odd. | 13:35 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, ah...I wasn't having problems with it mounting and unmounting | 13:36 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: I suspected it had to do with networking, but from what you're saying, the problem goes even deeper. | 13:36 |
| nikhilinux | i have an external hard disk. I have to mount it all the time and it asks for root password. How do i bypass this? I have installed 9.10 on my desktop | 13:36 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, however, once i realized it wasn't mounting certain volumes, i rebooted, hoping for a different scenario on rboot | 13:36 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, sometimes it would mount all volumes, sometimes it wouldn't | 13:37 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Our problem is that my son's Karmic will not under *any* circumstances allow him to have a static IP (he's tried everything), and without a static IP, NFS can't connect if the wrong IP is used. ): | 13:37 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, but it sounds like your problem is probably a networking issue | 13:37 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, karmic works fine with a static ip | 13:37 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: You'd think once it connected, it would stay that way, but the moment DHCP comes in and changes his IP (which is odd to begin with, once he's connected!), we lose our connection. (: | 13:37 |
| rabbit1 | installed apache2-doc, how to read it? | 13:37 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: I wish we could figure out how to do it. We had no problem setting up static IPs in Hardy, and I'm still using Hardy, so I'm the only one with a static IP in the house. (: | 13:38 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, apt-get remove network-manager, edit /etc/network/interfaces, then do /etc/init.d/networking restart | 13:38 |
| nikhilinux | i have an external hard disk. I have to mount it all the time and it asks for root password. How do i bypass this? I have installed 9.10 on my desktop | 13:38 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, I don't know if our group was having problems with static ips previously, or not | 13:38 |
| pepee | hi | 13:39 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, I just know part of our documented install was to get rid of network-manager | 13:39 |
| pepee | i'm trying to use the compat-wireless drivers | 13:39 |
| nikhilinux | i have an external hard disk. I have to mount it all the time and it asks for root password. How do i bypass this? I have installed 9.10 on my desktop | 13:39 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, someone else documented the install; I'm tasked with automating it, and making the process repeatable | 13:39 |
| pepee | but when I load the modules, I get "unknown symbol..." | 13:39 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Yeah, he tried that. He also tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces. No go. ): | 13:39 |
| WizardOfOz | littlegirl yes | 13:39 |
| WizardOfOz | Crashed Ubuntu now | 13:39 |
| WizardOfOz | meh | 13:39 |
| dlynes | nikhilinux, create an entry in your /etc/fstab file | 13:40 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: If you point it at the ISO, does that work? | 13:40 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: As long as you have all the steps, your task won't be too bad, then. (: | 13:40 |
| nikhilinux | i have an external hard disk. I have to mount it all the time and it asks for root password. How do i bypass this? I have installed 9.10 on my desktop | 13:41 |

| dlynes | Highpriest, Try using pastebin (http://pastebin.ca/) | 13:42 |
| WizardOfOz | LittleGirl okay lemme install virtualbox again | 13:43 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, yeah...drbl doesn't install the same way every time, though, so that makes it a bit of a pain | 13:43 |

| dlynes | littlegirl, drbl is like uck for pxeboot | 13:44 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: For all I know, Windows has some sort of protection in it that won't let it be installed from an ISO. Anybody else know? | 13:44 |
| llutz | rabbit1: read apache2-documentation /document-root | 13:44 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: What is drbl, and is there a way to force it to install the same way? | 13:44 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: thx | 13:45 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Never mind, you answered my question already. (: | 13:45 |
| aitiba | join #cakephp-es | 13:45 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: How come it doesn't install the same way every time? | 13:45 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, cause it's crappily written software :) | 13:45 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, drbl.sf.net | 13:45 |
| === said is now known as Linuxx | ||
| dlynes | littlegirl, but, then again | 13:45 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, it does a lot of stuff | 13:46 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: whr is that? | 13:46 |
| llutz | rabbit1: apache.org | 13:46 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Ooooh, I've never tried anything like that before. Remote booting is a new concept for me. (: | 13:46 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, but your son's booting all of his drives from nfs, right? | 13:46 |
| tiemonster | I'm trying to install mongodb, but can't figure out how to install the GPG key. I saved the sig as a .gpg, and tried to import in Software Sources, but got the error message: "The selected file may not be a GPG key file or may be corrupted." | 13:46 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, pxeboot allows you to have all the software installed on the server, and have absolutely no hard drive on the clients | 13:47 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: We both boot our computers manually and have NFS set to automatically detect each other's computers and mount. Whoever boots last is automatically mounted. (: | 13:47 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Oh, now that is an *interesting* setup! | 13:47 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: So the clients access the server and that's it. The server does all the work, right? | 13:48 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, we do it, because we're running a parallel processing cluster, so the master node is the only one with a hard drive | 13:48 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: i did install apache2-doc from Synaptic Manager, how to read that now? | 13:48 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, and that's why i'm running an extremely stripped down version of ubuntu | 13:48 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Ah, in our case we have two fully working self-contained computers that just so happen to be able to visit each other. (: | 13:48 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, I don't even run a window manager | 13:48 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, just a multitabbed instance of mrxvt | 13:49 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Ah, then you're the perfect candidate for a roll-your-own script. (: | 13:49 |
| llutz | rabbit1: get path with "dpkg -L apache2-doc", browse there, read | 13:49 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, because our application is using opengl, I still need X11, unfortunately | 13:49 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: thx dude | 13:49 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Does your server handle the load of multiple clients okay? | 13:49 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: kindly suggest me any document, for self help, on most of the linux works, where new user may require | 13:50 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, yes, but all the clients talk to each other as well | 13:50 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, one master node, and 8 slave nodes | 13:50 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Interesting. I've never played with such a setup. (: | 13:50 |
| llutz | rabbit1: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ | 13:51 |
| dlynes | littlegirl, try hanging out in #hpc sometime if you want to learn more about parallel computing, using linux | 13:51 |
| WizardOfOz | forget it | 13:51 |
| WizardOfOz | i need to cool down | 13:51 |
| WizardOfOz | I 'll try later | 13:51 |
| littlegirl | dlynes: Will do. (: | 13:51 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: What happened? | 13:51 |
| WizardOfOz | crashed ubuntu again and again and again...... | 13:52 |
| dlynes | WizardOfOz, beautiful | 13:52 |

| sander | any1 knows where i can change the 15 minuts of the sudo command (so i can set it to 1 hour or something?) | 13:53 |
| rabbit1 | llutz: thx, i meant for linux, like, commonly used commands, some good book, which will avoid me from getting in here and bugging you all guys ;) | 13:53 |

| llutz | rabbit1: ^ | 13:54 |
| dlynes | rabbit1,, Linux in a nutshell: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ | 13:54 |
| dlynes | llutz, sorry | 13:54 |
| littlegirl | sander: You must edit the /etc/sudoers file with the visudo command. See man visudo and see passwd_timeout in man sudoers for more information. | 13:54 |
| llutz | nm | 13:54 |
| dlynes | nm? | 13:54 |
| omac | good news: I got my fan back under control. I did the tweak for 1) /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to have blacklist k8temp 2)/boot/grub/menu/menu.lst to have acpi=lax, 3)update-grub, then rebooted and that fixed it. It allowed the it87 chipset to coexist with the acpi in order to control the fan. | 13:54 |
| edeca | dlynes: Nevermind | 13:55 |
| dlynes | edeca, ah...just usually see it abbreviated as nvm | 13:55 |
| rabbit1 | thx dlynes and llutz | 13:55 |
| edeca | :) | 13:55 |
| llutz | dlynes: never mind | 13:55 |
| sander | @littlegirl thnx have an look to it...thnx ! | 13:55 |
| littlegirl | sander: Sure, and good luck with it. For a quick fix, you can type sudo -k to reset the timer manually at any time. (: | 13:56 |
| benchen70 | quit | 13:56 |
| benchen70 | ex-chat | 13:56 |
| sander | :) nice. | 13:56 |
| littlegirl | I'm of the opinion that there shouldn't be a sudo timer by default, and that the timer should only be an option, but that's just me. (: | 13:57 |
| edeca | littlegirl: I leave a screen session always open on my server and just reattach to it, I definitely like the timer | 13:57 |
| pw-toxic | hi, if i type in "apt-get install mysql-server" he tells me, that he cant find this package | 13:58 |
| pw-toxic | or gnome-do oder any other package | 13:58 |
| pw-toxic | where could be the problem? | 13:58 |
| littlegirl | edeca: The way I look at it, sudo is for security, and the moment we go around the security by leaving things wide open for X amount of time, we're no longer secure. That should be a choice and not default. (: | 13:58 |
| edeca | pw-toxic: Try mysql-server-5.0 ? | 13:58 |
| edeca | littlegirl: Ah, _now_ I see your point. You want a password every time? | 13:58 |
| littlegirl | edeca: Yep! | 13:58 |
| edeca | pw-toxic: Oh, wait, I see. | 13:58 |
| edeca | littlegirl: Fair enough. But odd nickname ;) | 13:58 |
| littlegirl | edeca: Yeah, sorry about that. I dated a trucker years ago and he gave it to me as a CB handle, and I just kept it for computers. (: | 13:59 |
| llutz | littlegirl: that would force 98% of the new users to create root-passwd and work 99% the time as root :( | 13:59 |
| pw-toxic | edeca, i have just installed ubuntu inside of windows | 13:59 |
| edeca | Wow, CB. | 13:59 |
| edeca | I'm not sure I'm old enough to remember that ;) | 13:59 |
| llutz | littlegirl: they already cry with timer "it's so annoying to enter passwds all the time, blabla" | 14:00 |
| littlegirl | llutz: True, but that's sad. Having a timer, and controlling the length of the timer is all possible. Circumventing the timer and password are all possible, too, so everyone can be happy. I'm just of the opinion that the security is a good thing and I'd rather see that be the default. (: | 14:00 |
| Emiliano | hola | 14:00 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Guest89519 | ||
| llutz | littlegirl: always the same story, security vs comfort | 14:01 |
| littlegirl | llutz: Luckily there are ways they can make their computers less secure, so at least everyone can set themselves up the way they like. (: | 14:01 |

| bobbob1016 | I had beagle running, but it doesn't seem to want to index everything, even though I configured it to index everything. I tried Tracker but I can't seem to get the indexer started. I'd prefer not to use google-desktop, any other indexers? | 14:19 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: Glad to hear it! (Sorry, I was away from keys.) So what was it? | 14:21 |
| WizardOfOz | littlegirl: Bug. | 14:22 |
| pw-toxic | is there are english version of http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ | 14:22 |
| WizardOfOz | Had re-write the kernel for it. | 14:22 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: Sheesh. | 14:22 |
| WizardOfOz | yep | 14:22 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: So did your install go okay? | 14:22 |
| umang | coz_, I don't that's what I'm looking for. Basically, I want to convert a date that I input (with an input timezone) and get it in the output timezone, (There flags will be passed to the command). Essentially for things like Ubuntu Classroom. It says 1700 UTC, I want to know when it is for me. And if someone asks me for a time, I want to be able to convert my local time to theirs. | 14:22 |
| ool | bazhang: found the .Trash file but cant delete it tried the command line too!! you think formating it may work? | 14:23 |
| coz_ | pw-toxic, go to google translate put that url in there and convert | 14:23 |
| spaceman | ool have you got the privileges to do so, try doing it in root. (Terminal > sudo nautilus) | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | pw-toxic: wiki.ubuntu.com help.ubuntu.com ? | 14:23 |
| pw-toxic | erUSUL, thanks | 14:23 |
| anto9us | umang: I believe the built in date command should do it with the %z or %Z option | 14:23 |
| coz_ | umang, mmm let me check hold on | 14:23 |
| WizardOfOz | littlegirl : Configuring the External HDD, but so far looks good ! | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | umang: there are webpages that do just that ... | 14:23 |
| ool | spaceman i tried the command rm -r .trash as root | 14:23 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: I'm so glad it's working out for you! | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | umang: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ | 14:24 |
| umang | erUSUL, Yes. I want the webpage functionality from a CLI tool. It's too much to go to a website... :P | 14:24 |
| WizardOfOz | littlegirl: Thanks for the support *hugs tightly* | 14:25 |
| umang | anto9us, I'm looking at that right now. Just a sec | 14:25 |
| littlegirl | WizardOfOz: Any time. I wish I could have done more. (: | 14:26 |

| coz_ | umang, mm this is proving a bit tuff... I know you can convert UTC to local time and date | 14:27 |
| coz_ | umang, there is most likely already something for what you want to do I just cant find one ...yet | 14:28 |
| anto9us | coz_: I've pointed umang at the date command with %z or %Z option | 14:28 |
| coz_ | anto9us, ah ok cool I was looking elsewhere let me scrollback :) | 14:29 |
| umang | anto9us, No. Although it lets me format the string, it doesn't let me convert the timezone. OK. anto9us, erUSUL and coz_ I want to do this: foobar --input-time "Feb 27, 2010 1500" --input-TZ IST --output-TZ UTC | 14:29 |

| anto9us | umang: it should let you speficy timezone for a given date, it's a formatting option. | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | umang: TZ=UTC date -d "Feb 27, 2010 1500 IST" | 14:32 |
| anto9us | even specify it too.. :) | 14:32 |
| umang | erUSUL, That's it! Awesome! Thanks. :) | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | umang: no problem. just googled it XXDD | 14:33 |

| jmburgess | Hi | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | trinity: you should accept kernel updates via security repos | 14:34 |
| coz_ | umang, you might want to check with perl commands for this as well | 14:34 |
| trinity | my question is should i update my kernel? | 14:34 |
| zicho | my xorg is running on like 60% CPU power... is this normal or is it something i can do something about, because its slowing my computer down quite a lot | 14:34 |
| trinity | if so then i would like to know why? | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | trinity: if it is a security upgrade yes | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | trinity: becouse it fixes a security bug | 14:35 |
| umang | coz_, perl? Got it directly from the CLI thanks to erUSUL. :) | 14:35 |
| trinity | i have 2.6.31.4 synaptic offer to me 2.6.31.20 should i upgrade it? | 14:35 |
| ool | ok just formatted the usb drive to ext3 and just lost a GB of memory lol ! | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | trinity: for the third time; yes | 14:35 |

| kenpark | I installed ampache - but the version in the repo is older than then one that is available from the ampache originally - is there a way to get the upgraded version from the repo? | 14:36 |
| coz_ | umang, for sure... I know that you can do some time conversions with perl though ...let me see if i can find a man page or something | 14:36 |
| erUSUL | !latst | kenpark | 14:36 |
| trinity | <erUSUL> tnx for the answer could u tell me why i should upgrade? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | !latest | kenpark | 14:37 |
| ubottu | kenpark: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 14:37 |
| trinity | it will work better? | 14:37 |

| bazhang | trinity, for security | 14:37 |
| trinity | just for security? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | what else? | 14:37 |
| umang | coz_, I've not written in perl, so I wouldn't know. But the date libraries in most languages can do this pretty easily... | 14:37 |
| bazhang | trinity, what benefit were you looking for? | 14:37 |
| trinity | i dont know thought maybe for better drivers support or my karmic will work better | 14:37 |
| kenpark | erUSUL: I should have mentioned: the current version also doesn't work because of an incompatibilty with an other package. | 14:38 |
| coz_ | umang, ok cool... I will stop searching :) | 14:38 |
| WizardOfOz | littlegirl do you go to Ubuntu Conventions ? | 14:38 |
| umang | coz_, :) | 14:38 |

| ActionParsnip | Helsinkiii: you may need to formulate an xorg.conf file to get things nice | 15:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Helsinkiii: the bug has a section of the file which you cna copy to get things nice | 15:28 |
| Helsinkiii | ActionParsnip: ill bookmark the page, but right now everything is working great. i've learnt that i only get problems when i try messing around with stuff most of the time | 15:29 |
| Helsinkiii | i'll keep it as is for now lol | 15:29 |
| duffydack | ActionParsnip, Helsinkiii there is a ppa for X updates, tried that maybe? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates | 15:29 |

| TLF | I am using gnome and I had in my desktop 2 icons with URL: $HOME and system:/ but I cannot access them anymore it seems system:/ it's replaced by Computer:/// right? | 15:29 |

| PianoPete | /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 16:18 |
| soicon | balsat: use for ..;do | 16:18 |
| balsat | s/giles/files | 16:18 |
| psycho_oreos | balsat, you could make a simple `for' loop.. i.e.: for $i in `ls -1 *.deb; do dpkg-deb -x $i /tmp/extract ; done' | 16:18 |
| miner | PianoPete: thanks. I'll take a look | 16:18 |
| balsat | thanks | 16:18 |
| PianoPete | miner: so back up /etc/apt (not just the sources.list). If I were you I'd copy to a tmp directory on the new machine and do a diff. | 16:18 |
| pratik_narain | can anyone please help me configure 3g usb modem in ubuntu 9.10. There is no particular info in forums about my model and all the other solutions don't work for me and network manager is definitely not recognizing it. | 16:18 |
| miner | PianoPete: That sounds like a good plan, thanks! | 16:19 |
| overmind | pratik_narain: Most of this modems haven't got drivers for linux, so surelly you'll need to contact to your ISP | 16:19 |
| hardikar | Please someone help me I can't read DVDs in ubuntu 9.10.....It's urgent | 16:20 |
| soicon | zx: did you try using xrandr http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html | 16:20 |

| xangua | !medibuntu | hardikar | 16:21 |
| ubottu | hardikar: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 16:21 |
| soicon | hardikar: how about the CD ? | 16:21 |
| psycho_oreos | probably because of unsupported chipset | 16:21 |
| GeekSquid | blakkheim: I didn't say that... but a ubuntu/linux noob should be learning basic commands, regex, how to use apt etc, prior to compiling anything, .. obviously this wasn't the case ... but I try to use the path of least difficulty, and I am here to help people who are having a difficult time, and if I can I try to keep them from having a difficult time | 16:22 |
| hardikar | soicom: cds work properly | 16:22 |
| blakkheim | GeekSquid: "Unless you are an advanced programmer I wouldn't reccommend trying to compile from source" were your exact words. | 16:22 |
| jorik_ | i installed 9.10 last night on a pc i built, i had restarted it for updates and such but this morning when i turned it on my mouse is invisible | 16:23 |
| gregl | hardikar, are you talking about movie dvd? you are kind of vague.. | 16:23 |
| blakkheim | GeekSquid: compiling is a part of using linux. ubuntu tries to hide this kind of thing. | 16:23 |
| dsnyders | HI all. Is there a keyboard shortcut to log out in gnome? | 16:23 |
| hardikar | it is a data DVD I can read in windows but not in ubuntu (actually no DVD works) | 16:23 |
| soicon | hardikar : did you try mounting it manually? | 16:24 |
| CkhiKuzad | would it be possible to seperately install ubuntu 9.10 while in 9.04, without updating, or using a live[Device] or using wubi | 16:24 |
| GeekSquid | blakkheim: now you are making it difficult, either help or don't ... I was actually trying to help with a 3G modem ... but by all means .. if you want to compile there is #gcc or #C++ | 16:24 |
| hardikar | soicon yes but it says it is already mounted at /media/cdrom | 16:25 |
| GeekSquid | pratik_narain: have you tried creating a wvdial.conf and using wvdial? | 16:25 |
| PianoPete | dsnyders: CTRL-ALT-BAckspace | 16:25 |
| zx | soicon i try it now | 16:25 |
| GeekSquid | PianoPete: that doesn't work anymore ... Ctrl-Alt-SysRq-K | 16:25 |
| PianoPete | dsnyders: (well- restarts gnome/Xand dumps ou back at gdm) | 16:25 |
| dsnyders | PianoPete, That's the old keystroke sequence for killing x | 16:25 |
| soicon | hardikar : #umount /media/cdrom and mount it again | 16:25 |
| PianoPete | GeekSquid: really ? Crikey - when did that change ? | 16:26 |
| CkhiKuzad | dsnyders i kill X a lot, then | 16:26 |
| GeekSquid | PianoPete: Jaunty or Intrepid... I forget | 16:26 |
| PianoPete | <blush> | 16:26 |
| GeekSquid | PianoPete: I love LTS ... Tee Hee | 16:26 |
| PianoPete | GeekSquid: :-) | 16:27 |
| hardikar | ok I remounted the cdrom but now it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, | 16:27 |
| hardikar | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 16:27 |
| hardikar | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 16:27 |
| hardikar | dmesg | tail or so | 16:27 |

| hardikar | oops | 16:27 |
| CkhiKuzad | would it be possible to seperately install ubuntu 9.10 while in 9.04, without updating, or using a live[Device] or using wubi like i asked (dont !patience me, i know) | 16:27 |
| Mene-Mene | I've never used Lua before in my life. I'm attempting to do a basic embedding of Lua into C++. I've install 5.1 through synaptic, both the dev and the other library. I can run the script just fine if I run it directly from Lua. But when I run my C++ code, it fails to work saying that lua.h does not exist. (Alongside all the other libraries. I would think that with "" surrounding the include it would need to be within the | 16:27 |

| GeekSquid | !chroot | CkhiKuzad | 16:27 |
| ubottu | CkhiKuzad: chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot) | 16:27 |
| dsnyders | PianoPete, It was changed because if you have the handicap accessibilites enabled and hold down ctrl for a few seconds it toggles to on. Then when you press alt-backspace to delete a word... BOOM! X resets, you have to chance to save any work. | 16:28 |
| CkhiKuzad | GeekSquid, it would help to know HOW to get the files there. i know how to use chroot | 16:28 |
| pratik_narain | GeekSquid: yes. the actual problem is that when I try to connect using sudo wvdial, the modem device isbeing unmounted and the storage mode is selected again. | 16:29 |
| GeekSquid | CkhiKuzad: the other option would be to run a VM of 9.10 within 9.04 | 16:29 |
| soicon | hardikar: mount -t iso9660 -o loop | 16:29 |
| GeekSquid | pratik_narain: are you using /dev/ttyUSB0? | 16:29 |
| CkhiKuzad | bleh, impossible unless i figure out how to run 9.10 in command line mode, and install it in command line mode | 16:29 |
| GeekSquid | CkhiKuzad: uh, use the alternate installer disk... CLI /non-gui installer , use the server disk to be CLI only | 16:30 |
| hardikar | soicon: It gives me syntax error | 16:31 |
| qweqwe | . | 16:31 |

| Voziv_ | Does anyone here know if the playback of MKV files on ubuntu using a PS3 works well? | 16:35 |
| PianoPete | jorik_: I have seen this after using xrandr with an ext monitor. try going to a VT console and then back to VT7 (or wherever yourX displa is) | 16:35 |

| meco | I', watching videos that are flash-driven, sure | 16:37 |
| blakkheim | meco: then that's why | 16:37 |
| PianoPete | meco: assume firefox ? if so, install one of the flash blockers which mean you have to agree to run flash for that particular site/page | 16:37 |
| soicon | devendra: man top , before using it :P | 16:37 |
| meco | Except all the fun content IS flas-driven.... | 16:38 |
| devendra | blakkheim, is this the name of the tool ? | 16:38 |
| devendra | ok | 16:38 |
| qweqwe | blakkheim: i checked the site and couldn't see the dependence list | 16:38 |
| qweqwe | can i check it some how from my pc ? | 16:38 |
| soicon | meco: browser + flash = crash:D | 16:38 |
| blakkheim | devendra: yes, run it from terminal | 16:38 |
| blakkheim | qweqwe: no | 16:39 |
| Threetimes | Voziv_: MKV is just a container format, the actual codecs and bitrates determine if you video's are playable on a PS3. | 16:39 |
| meco | soicon: That basically sucks.. | 16:39 |
| devendra | blakkheim, ok | 16:39 |
| orson | qweqwe:there was no README/INSTALL inside that tar.gz? | 16:39 |
| Threetimes | meco: look at http://youtube.com/html5 | 16:39 |

| meco | Threetimes: oki! | 16:40 |
| brian_ | hi all | 16:40 |
| Voziv_ | Threetimes: Sorry, what I'm meaning is if it's possible to playback HD movie formats on the PS3 using ubuntu. I know they don't have direct hardware access to the graphics on the ps3, so I'm just not sure if the available resources can do it | 16:41 |
| Threetimes | apparle: gtk2 or qt4. don't use qt3 | 16:41 |
| zuz | does QT apps install anything that slows performanceon ubuntu? or its just compatible? I kinda want to use Amarok on ubuntu | 16:41 |
| olskolirc | what was the command to update menus please? I forgot | 16:41 |
| blakkheim | zuz: aptitude -R install amarok | 16:42 |
| qweqwe | orson: there is but no information about dependency there | 16:42 |
| blakkheim | zuz: that will install only what is needed to use amarok | 16:42 |
| dsnyders | Is there a command to reset compiz to defaults? | 16:42 |
| apparle | Threetimes: Not using QT3 is obvious..... but do QT apps look good in GNOME | 16:42 |
| Threetimes | Voziv_: i guess the PS3's CPU is kinda fast enough for whatever works on a simple C2D... | 16:42 |
| blakkheim | apparle: no | 16:42 |
| orson | qweqwe: then check the given errors and find out what went wrong | 16:42 |
| PianoPete | meco:using one of the flash blockers like flashblock it gives ou a button so you only activate the flash you are interested in - ads etc don't swamp your cpu. | 16:42 |
| On` | hi all | 16:42 |
| Threetimes | apparle: qt4 apps look just like gtk2 apps | 16:42 |
| bdnuggin | hi all, quick question | 16:42 |
| apparle | blakkheim: why | 16:42 |
| bdnuggin | installed thunderbird on 64 bit | 16:42 |
| bdnuggin | only can run it by going to the lib directory and running ./thunderbird | 16:43 |
| zuz | blakkheim: do you know where i can get readings about how that works? like something good about QT compatibility on GNOME | 16:43 |
| blakkheim | apparle: writing something in qt just isn't going to perfectly "fit in" with a gtk environment, in regards to appearance | 16:43 |
| bdnuggin | how do i put in a link to this? | 16:43 |
| blakkheim | zuz: qt apps work in gnome, but require more dependencies to be installed | 16:43 |
| blakkheim | bdnuggin: ln -s | 16:43 |
| blakkheim | bdnuggin: or write a bash script | 16:44 |
| bdnuggin | that's what i was looking for.... | 16:44 |
| apparle | blakkheim: vice versa for GTK in kubuntu.... | 16:44 |
| zx | soicon : tried xrandr..problem again output here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/385166/ | 16:44 |
| blakkheim | apparle: yes | 16:44 |
| * n4cht finds that the easiest way to get qt apps to work perfectly in gnome is to install kde. | 16:44 | |
| bdnuggin | so ln -s ./thunderbird? | 16:44 |
| bdnuggin | used that command before but not too familiar | 16:44 |
| zuz | blakkheim: ok so its getting clearer, now does these dependencies slows down performance? | 16:44 |
| blakkheim | bdnuggin: man ln | 16:44 |
| apparle | Thats why I asked is there any GUI which is good for both | 16:44 |
| orson | n4cht: qt != kde, kde just bases on qt | 16:44 |
| blakkheim | zuz: it takes up disk space and qt apps generally take longer to open | 16:44 |
| bdnuggin | got it, will try messing with that | 16:44 |
| apparle | orson: but qt is very much at home in KDE | 16:44 |
| pratik_narain | GeekSquid: sorry for being late. but it is actually /dev/ttyUSB1 | 16:44 |
| orson | apparle: qt != kde, kde bases on qt | 16:45 |
| Threetimes | apparle: yes, both look good on both platforms. wxwindows will even look good in windows and mac. I believe it uses gtk on linux | 16:45 |
| n4cht | not to actually use kde, that is.. but to have all of the dependencies for qt apps. sometimes when running a qt app in gnome, you might have missed a dependency or two if you don't install kde, and it could end up causing the app to not function as intended. | 16:45 |
| orson | n4cht: if you install qt-apps from repos and deps are missing, the package is broken | 16:46 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! Is there a command for resetting compiz to defaults? | 16:46 |

| jege | alguien sabe hablar espanol? | 16:48 |
| n4cht | orson: true.. and in that case a bugreport should be filed... but i'm just sayin', i find it best to just install kde. it only takes a couple minutes and isn't bloaty. (also, i don't install -every- app through the repos. i'm not afraid to compile an app from source if it's not on the repos, or a newer version is out with a feature that i need) | 16:48 |

| orson | n4cht: it still makes no sense to install "kde" (libs and whatever) if you run qt-apps, which depend on libqt. sure it will pull most of the qt-stuff too, but also a lot of stuff you really don't need. and for security reasons, you shouldn't install unneeded code | 16:53 |

| jemt | So I would very much like the great looking Software Center to be working :) | 17:06 |
| dsnyders | Threetimes, you now have fifteen minutes to reach minimum safe distance. | 17:06 |
| blakkheim | jemt: what's wrong with using debian? | 17:06 |
| splig | blakkheim, i cannot, its a db server. i dont want users see this machine | 17:06 |
| xmatt1 | jemt: did you run apt-get update | 17:07 |
| jemt | blakkheim: Nothing, Ubuntu just comes with a very easy installer, which allows for ordinary people to re-install their computer. | 17:07 |
| xmatt1 | then software center should work fine | 17:07 |
| Threetimes | dsnyders: Canada is quite far... I'll probably survive over here. | 17:07 |
| ahmed | hi gyes | 17:07 |
| jemt | xmatt1: Yes, but ordinary users don't know that | 17:07 |
| ahmed | gus* | 17:07 |
| blakkheim | jemt: the debian installer is pretty easy too | 17:07 |
| === ahmed is now known as Guest55272 | ||
| PianoPete | splig: so if it's a db server someone must want to see it ? | 17:07 |
| PianoPete | splig: otherwise what about a subnet ? | 17:07 |
| dsnyders | Threetimes, I live in the great white north as well. Scarborough, Ontario to be specific | 17:08 |
| Datz | PianoPete: ok, well I restarted firefox, that seemed to fix it. | 17:08 |
| splig | they connect through an aplication with IP. but i dont want that they see it on "network pcs" | 17:08 |
| Threetimes | dsnyders: I figured (/whois dsnyders and http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_ip?ips=76-10-173-51.dsl.teksavvy.com) :D | 17:08 |
| splig | subnet?? | 17:08 |
| jemt | A simple question: It is really the intention that the user needs to run Aptitude Update from a console, before using the Software Center ? I find it hard to believe that | 17:09 |
| nibbler | jemt, i thought softwraecenter works outof the box.... | 17:10 |
| nibbler | jemt: for me it did | 17:10 |
| jemt | nibbler: Okay. Probably just a bug then. Thank you | 17:10 |
| PianoPete | splig: networking not my strong point :-( but set up a subnet to stick your database on and then set up firewall rules to stop machines on your min network seeing anythin on the subnet. then open up a hole for your machine hich needs access. | 17:11 |
| dsnyders | Threetimes, Cool. I'll be sure and jot down my lat/long for my sundial project. | 17:11 |
| meco | Now I've installed flashblock but Firefox still uses 94% of the CPU! | 17:11 |
| Datz | meco: what cpu? | 17:11 |
| xangua | meco: maybe too many addons | 17:11 |
| blakkheim | meco: if you are viewing flash it will use a lot of cpu | 17:11 |
| shoir | irc://irc.bigdogworld.net/bigdogmusic | 17:11 |
| tp43 | firefox is heavy | 17:11 |
| meco | I'm not viewing flash | 17:12 |
| splig | PianoPete, ok! i will have a look | 17:12 |
| splig | thanks | 17:12 |
| meco | Datz: An old P4 | 17:12 |
| meco | 2GHz | 17:12 |
| === root is now known as Guest10810 | ||
| Datz | meco: yea, that is about right for cpu usage with flash I think | 17:12 |
| meco | xangua: I've just reinstalled 8.04 today, so there aren't many addons either | 17:12 |
| tp43 | meco, do killall firefox and then restart it | 17:12 |
| Threetimes | meco: opera is light and fast, especially the 10.50 alphas. but 2GHz should be plenty for any webbrowser. I ran them on a P3 600MHz. | 17:13 |
| meco | Datz: But I'm not using flash right now | 17:13 |
| Datz | oh, well do what tp43 says | 17:13 |
| acicula | flash shows up as a separate process | 17:13 |
| PianoPete | splig: sorry can't help with more detail - I'm not a networking chap. | 17:13 |
| meco | ok | 17:13 |
| blakkheim | Threetimes: opera is also proprietary | 17:13 |
| acicula | firefox can be a bit of a resource hogg though | 17:14 |
| glaucous | Hello. I'm having problems with /etc/rc.local, I want to run a few scripts as sudo. But apparently many people have problems with 9.10 and /etc/rc.local, including me. | 17:14 |
| splig | PianoPete, don't worry. it's enough to start to figure out... | 17:14 |
| splig | anyway, i know in windows there is an option in the regedit to hide them. i was wondering if in linux there was something similar | 17:14 |
| Threetimes | blakkheim: yes, but that's not a problem for me. But you shouldn't preinstall it on commercial computers... unles you ask them :D | 17:14 |
| PianoPete | splig: also another thing you could try - use the firewall on he db laptop to stop all traffic except the database port. | 17:14 |
| jrib | glaucous: you should be more specific about what you are doing. It doesn't really make sense | 17:15 |
| acicula | glaucous: rc.local is run as root afaik? | 17:15 |
| splig | that sounds easier... but i don't know which port use windows to identify all the network hosts | 17:15 |
| acicula | well its run with the permissions of the startup service anyway, which probably is root | 17:15 |
| splig | probably one in particular, so i will try to block all of them except the db one | 17:15 |
| PianoPete | splig: google :-) | 17:16 |
| * PianoPete doesn't know either | 17:16 | |
| acicula | splig: what are you trying to do? | 17:16 |
| glaucous | Sorry, the problem is that the scripts do not run at boot. /etc/rc.local doesn't execute | 17:16 |
| orson | splig: that's nmdb, if you don't run samba, you won't be shown in win-networkenvironment | 17:16 |
| jrib | glaucous: be specific... | 17:16 |
| orson | nmbd | 17:16 |
| PianoPete | orson: but assume ping etc would work unless firewalled off ? | 17:17 |
| splig | orson, ok. and i guess withou samba the clients will be able to connect to db, will not they? | 17:17 |
| acicula | splig: maybe you have to tell upstart explicitly to start the rc.local at boot | 17:17 |
| glaucous | I've added lm-sensors script (fancontrol &) in the /etc/rc.local file. This should then be run at boot as sudo. But it doesn't start. | 17:17 |
| Fill23 | how can i see logs from system startup? | 17:17 |
| orson | splig: i don't know your network-setup | 17:17 |
| meco | I have Opera 10.10. Should I upgrade to 10.50 alpha for improved performance with flash, really? | 17:17 |
| PianoPete | splig: I'm confused - if your clients need to see the db server, you can't hide it. Do you mean you want to restrict access to the server ? | 17:18 |
| acicula | Fill23: syslog ? | 17:18 |
| Fill23 | this is command? | 17:18 |
| acicula | its a file, ubuntu logs into the /var/log directory, one of which is syslog (system log) | 17:18 |
| splig | i don't want clients see the server on net, i mean the icon when they go to "lan sites" | 17:18 |
| orson | PianoPete: you cannot really hide a host connected to the net, you only can make it difficult for others to see you | 17:19 |
| splig | but i want they can connect | 17:19 |
| Fill23 | ok, will look into it now | 17:19 |
| acicula | you want to hide your shares from being discoverable but still browsable then? | 17:19 |
| splig | ok, i just will block all ports except dabatase one | 17:19 |
| paradoxuncreated | http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24402 | 17:19 |
| splig | that's it | 17:19 |
| orson | splig: man iptables | 17:19 |
| meco | What are the pros and cons of Ubuntu compared with other distros? | 17:19 |
| jrib | glaucous: you should pastebin your /etc/rc.local and why you believe it does not run things there. Also, I would recommend just stealing /etc/init.d/fancontrol from the lucid package and using that instead (I'm guessing you built fancontrol yourself) | 17:19 |
| obiwan_ | hi all guys, i need to disable networkmanager. I killed it but it respawns. I think some daemon is spawning it over and over. It isn't in my init.d so i'm wondering how to kill it | 17:19 |
| dsnyders | meco, well one pro is a very active irc chat | 17:20 |
| PianoPete | splig: you may be able to do what you want just by stopping services such as sambe then. You may not need firewall rules. | 17:20 |
| obiwan_ | meco: ease of use, lots of support | 17:20 |
| splig | orson, i'm reading it! thanks!! i will try it | 17:20 |
| jrib | meco: try it and see if it works for you | 17:20 |
| meco | Well, I'm using Ubuntu. | 17:20 |
| obiwan_ | then learn it in deep | 17:20 |
| obiwan_ | and then you can try other distros | 17:21 |
| splig | PianoPete, without samba they will be able to connect to db and not seeing the server on "lan sites"? | 17:21 |
| obiwan_ | many experts keep using ubuntu though, and that's a good sign | 17:21 |
| splig | ? | 17:21 |
| jrib | meco: setup vbox and install all the distros you want to compare them | 17:21 |
| orson | splig: what db? | 17:21 |
| splig | postresql | 17:21 |
| meco | jrib: Not on the 10GB I have available | 17:21 |
| jrib | meco: meh, hard drives are cheap | 17:21 |
| orson | splig: it not accessed thought samba, i thin | 17:22 |
| splig | ok perfect so!! | 17:22 |
| glaucous | jrib, yes I compiled it myself. The problem is that I have another program I have to run as well at boot. That's why I might as well use "fancontrol" in rc.local. | 17:22 |
| splig | thanks a lot everyone | 17:22 |
| glaucous | jrib, I'll be right back. | 17:22 |
| rhiino | ciao | 17:23 |

| Curly_Q | The real reason why I came here is that I just re-installed Ubuntu i386 server and it wants a password in which I set but I am afraid that I will muck it up. | 17:39 |

| GeekSquid | dsnyders: you need to run that command from a terminal within X in order to make that work | 17:40 |
| meco | Guest00001: WELL, THE EASIEST WAY TO SHUT IT DOWN IS TO PULL OUT THE POWER CORD,,,, | 17:40 |
| blakkheim | Guest00001 going on ignore | 17:40 |
| Curly_Q | I set a user password but I want root acces in this case to do my work there. | 17:40 |
| dsnyders | Guest00001, take off your caps lock. | 17:40 |
| harisund | Occasionally when I reboot my computer "ubuntu-server-9.10" it show the grub menu with list of kernels and no timer !!! This is really really irritating since then I have to physically go to the computer to choose the kernel :( Why does this keep happening? | 17:40 |
| candy | soicon, no i havenot | 17:40 |

| ubottu | Guest00001: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 17:40 |
| candy | wirechief, its a good install i guess | 17:40 |
| tiemonster | harisund: delete old kernels | 17:40 |
| wirechief | soicon candy has intel so no proprietary is invovled | 17:40 |
| orson | Curly_Q: man sudo (-i / -s) | 17:40 |

| dsnyders | Guest00001, writing in all caps is considered rude | 17:40 |
| soicon | oh oh, i see | 17:40 |
| PianoPete | Curly_Q: are you saying that sudo su doesn't wok ? | 17:41 |
| harisund | tiemonster: doesn't really help -- it shows my current kernel and the recovery opton and is stuck there anyway. The point is, there's no count down timer | 17:41 |
| marc__ | I have a computer with Ubuntu 9.10 (server), it runs without a screen ans I connect to it using SSH. but I would like to give access to someone who is using Windows and doesn't know anything about CLI... is it possible for him to connect to the server and have a graphical login that would load gnome once he's logged in? (and unload gnome once logged out) | 17:41 |
| Curly_Q | Orson, I am not sure the installation installed the man pages. | 17:41 |
| wirechief | candy well guessing would help, you need to make sure the media is good, drop outs occur and wierd results happen | 17:41 |
| orson | Curly_Q: it has | 17:41 |
| wirechief | candy woundnt | 17:41 |
| wirechief | candy dam i cant type today | 17:41 |
| GeekSquid | marc__: giving access to what? | 17:42 |
| Curly_Q | Should I input: sudo su <password> or sudo su <host name>? | 17:42 |
| wirechief | candy running the integrity test is really easy if you still have the media, if not well then you are back to guessing. | 17:42 |
| marc__ | GeekSquid, to a basic gnome install | 17:42 |
| candy | wirechief, woundnt? | 17:42 |
| wirechief | candy wouldn't | 17:43 |
| trism | meco: don't get the new one if you want better flash performance, the alpha page says it still has bugs with flash | 17:43 |
| soicon | Curly_Q: man sudo | 17:43 |
| dsnyders | GeekSquid, I don't think it would matter where I issued the command to delete the monitors.xml file, or if I used a command at all. The important thing is that it had the wrong resolution in it, and by deleting it, gnome was able to re-create it with the right settings. | 17:43 |
| tiemonster | harisund: you'll get your timer back if you delete old kernels | 17:43 |
| heroin | Can anyone help me connect to my windows computer shares? | 17:43 |
| ardchoille | Curly_Q: you shouldn't be using sudo su at all, use sudo -i instead. you were told that yesterday | 17:43 |
| PianoPete | Curly_Q: sudo su | 17:43 |
| linxeh | Curly_Q: if you want a root shell, use sudo -i. sudo su is silly | 17:43 |
| dooglus | hi people. what's the recommended replacement for microsoft's office 'publisher' program? I have some .pub files I need to open | 17:44 |
| PianoPete | Curly_Q: which will prompt for YOUR paswd | 17:44 |
| Curly_Q | Soicon I cannot do a Man Page for Sudo unless I have the password in console. | 17:44 |
| candy | wirechief, i do have that installation cd | 17:44 |
| ardchoille | PianoPete: please recommend sudo -i instead | 17:44 |
| meco | trism: Appreciate that, 'cause that's what I was after | 17:44 |
| GeekSquid | marc__: gnome is not part of a server install ... you would need to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (installs gnome) kinda negates the idea of having a server | 17:44 |
| wirechief | candy just reboot into it and select to test the media | 17:44 |
| greezmunkey | marc__, check here: http://slashdot.org/articles/00/12/09/0341259.shtml | 17:44 |
| linxeh | Curly_Q: eh? man sudo | 17:44 |
| GeekSquid | dsnyders: sorry I was way behind on that conv... you are right | 17:44 |
| candy | wirechief, okei ll give a try | 17:44 |
| Curly_Q | I did that Linxeh. It is a fresh install. | 17:45 |
| linxeh | Curly_Q: and what happened ? | 17:45 |
| wirechief | candy if it tests ok then your not wasteing time chasing a issue thats not resolvable without reburning the .iso and making sure its good. | 17:45 |

| wirechief | candy ok | 17:51 |
| noteventime | The only interesting message from dmesg is "ERROR!!! RTMPCancelTimer failed" | 17:51 |
| yaaar | i'm having a weird issue trying to install joomla in an apache vhost on 8.04LTS Server. specifically, when i go to the URL (to start the installation) my browser wants to download the PHTML file...which is to say apache isn't interpreting the php. normally i'd say that meant i didn't have php enabled...but if i slap together a quick info.php file (with phpinfo() in the body) it works fine | 17:51 |
| noteventime | "Timer isn't initialised" | 17:51 |
| Curly_Q | Orson is there a KDE GUI for this and how to install it? | 17:51 |
| usbhelp | quidnunc: sry, i wanted to type it in two lines :S | 17:51 |
| GeekSquid | marc__: Install vncserver ... and use realvnc or ultravnc on the winbox | 17:51 |
| yaaar | anybody know why it wouldn't interpret the index.php file when it has no problem interpreting my info.php file? | 17:51 |
| orson | Curly_Q: on a server? you're joking | 17:51 |
| ikonia | yaaar: not got allowIndexes enabled ? | 17:52 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Look in /var/log/dmesg for indications of what went wrong. | 17:52 |
| Curly_Q | Why is it a joke? It was a question. I am a veteran of Windows Servers and all is GUI. | 17:52 |
| usbhelp | what kind of lines should i look up for? | 17:52 |
| * usbhelp is looking right now | 17:52 | |
| obiwan_ | PianoPete: hey guy i'm on tests, i just forgot to thank you. go back testing seeya later | 17:52 |
| soicon | Curly_Q: GUI eat alots | 17:52 |
| orson | Curly_Q: this is not windows | 17:52 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Try usb | 17:52 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Or manufacturer name | 17:52 |
| Curly_Q | That is not my point. I just use GUI for convenience and after I shut it off. | 17:52 |
| yaaar | ikonia: oh, that's the other weird part. i made annother vhost and put the info.php file in there as index.php and that works | 17:53 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: you can install the kde desktop by installing the kubuntu0-desktop package | 17:53 |
| ikonia | yaaar: probably not got allowIndexs on that vhost | 17:53 |
| blakkheim | gui on a server, wow | 17:53 |
| ikonia | Curly_Q: sorry - the "kubuntu-desktop" package | 17:53 |
| GeekSquid | yaaar: install apache2-mpm-prefork | 17:53 |
| soicon | hix, Curly_Q: why not use some lightweight desktop envir | 17:53 |
| teffers_ | hey guys coudl ifconfig haveing my wirless card set to inet6 be the cause of my problems | 17:54 |
| Curly_Q | I have tried the Kubuntu package and it did not install correctly. | 17:54 |
| soicon | Curly_Q: xfce ? | 17:54 |
| ikonia | teffers_: no | 17:54 |
| teffers_ | cos the router isnt an ipv6 router | 17:54 |
| macman_ | when i do a dvdauthor -o dvd -x dvd.xml i get a seg fault | 17:54 |
| macman_ | any ideas on how to fix ? | 17:54 |
| teffers_ | that wat on earth is the issue | 17:54 |
| orson | Curly_Q: and btw, a GUI wouldn't make server-administration easier | 17:54 |
| marc__ | GeekSquid, I tried vncserver in a VM to test it out, but all the 'howto' I found make vncserver load gnome automatically on boot (adding "gnome-session &" in the xstartup file), but I don't want to have gnome loaded all the time, I would only want a GUI login window or something... | 17:54 |
| Guest643 | Hello there! Is there anyone who could help me configure my wlan interface from terminal? The Wlan chip works great under gnome/kde but I would like to bring it up through terminal. Do I need to add parameters to /etc/networks/interfaces or can I simply type iwconfig / iwpriv something to bring it up? My WLAN connection is using WPA2-PSK with a shared key | 17:54 |
| candy | wirechief, it says no error found | 17:54 |
| teffers_ | ikonia, any ideas what my issue is | 17:55 |
| === Guest643 is now known as Tharok | ||
| ikonia | Guest643: you cdan use the interfaces file or the iwconfig command | 17:55 |
| usbhelp | um.. what's ECC? it says near the usb lines that the module is not going to be loaded :S | 17:55 |
| ikonia | teffers_: I've not read what your problem is | 17:55 |
| yaaar | GeekSquid: seems like that's already installed | 17:55 |
| noteventime | Tharok: I think there's a CLI for network manager | 17:55 |
| ikonia | usbhelp: EEC is a memory type | 17:55 |
| Tharok | Oh there is? | 17:55 |
| Curly_Q | My main goal here is to create a streamline video server. | 17:55 |
| yaaar | ikonia: the two vhosts are identical | 17:55 |
| wirechief | candy ok thats good now we gotta find the issue. check error messages with tail /var/log/messages | 17:55 |
| ikonia | yaaar: look at the "options" section in the apache config, make sure AllowIndexes is enabled for that vhosts file location | 17:56 |
| UseLinux | is ubuntu stable enough to run on an embedded robot controller? | 17:56 |
| usbhelp | :( i can't find anything.. all it says about usbs is that it registered new interfaces | 17:56 |
| ikonia | usbhelp: depends on the support for the hardware | 17:56 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Try searching google for the relevant parts of the error message | 17:56 |
| ikonia | oops | 17:56 |
| usbhelp | but i can't find any error message.. | 17:56 |
| ikonia | UseLinux: depends on the hardware compatability/support on your robot for linux | 17:56 |
| candy | wirechief, wait i m getting into live session and checking if touchpad works there then ll do what u tell | 17:57 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Paste the relevant portions at a pastebin so someone else can look at it. | 17:57 |
| quidnunc | !paste | usbhelp | 17:57 |

| yaaar | ikonia: 'grep -Ri allowindexes /etc/apache2/' doesn't give me any output | 17:57 |
| Curly_Q | Streaming video for demonstration purposes. | 17:57 |
| apparle | Hey anyone can suggest me a shell provider with port forwarding permitted and is FREE | 17:57 |
| bazhang | apparle, that is offtopic here | 17:57 |
| GeekSquid | UseLinux: stable yes, too big for a robot, I would think | 17:57 |
| ikonia | apparle: please don't ask in here - this is ubuntu support | 17:57 |
| ikonia | yaaar: maybe enabled by default | 17:58 |
| Curly_Q | Also for multicasting. | 17:58 |
| arand | Curly_Q: in what way did kubuntu-desktop not install correctly? | 17:58 |
| yaaar | ikonia: perhaps. but the point is if that directive doesn't show up anywhere in my config, then it's certainly not set differently for the two vhosts. | 17:58 |
| usbhelp | i don't think there's any errors in dmesg.. there are two parts that mentions usb: one saying it registered the interface (i think that's a boot message) and the other saying it chose the profile | 17:58 |
| ikonia | yaaar: I take that point | 17:58 |
| Curly_Q | Arand, I got a screen with a dot in the middle. That was it. | 17:58 |
| UseLinux | GeekSquad: what about debian? | 17:58 |
| wirechief | candy check your touchpad while in the live session | 17:59 |
| quidnunc | usbhelp: Try /var/log/messages | 17:59 |
| usbhelp | the system just freezes when i insert it.. i even tried to disable automount | 17:59 |
| apparle | ikonia: bazhang I know but I can't find one.... so I thought if someone is know he might help | 17:59 |
| ikonia | UseLinux: same situation as ubuntu - if the hardware is supported it's fine | 17:59 |
| ikonia | apparle: not in here they can't | 17:59 |
| teffers_ | wlan issues after yet another fresh install for people who aint in the know i seem to be having problems were my wireless is refusing to dhcp router correctly and in turn timing out and deauthing i say another fersh install cos this is the 3 in 2 days trying to get it to work yet it worked fine 3 days ago in my original install Heres a dmesg paste http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Cnc4musi <<< ikonia | 17:59 |
| bazhang | apparle, does not matter, dont ask here | 17:59 |
| candy | wirechief, i checked it didnt worked.. wait i m loggin now. | 17:59 |
| GeekSquid | yaaar: grep is case sensitive ... AllowIndexes is hugely different to allowindexes | 17:59 |
| ikonia | GeekSquid: he did -i | 17:59 |
| yaaar | GeekSquid: i used the 'i' flag | 17:59 |
| apparle | bazhang: ikonia ok sorry | 17:59 |
| GeekSquid | whoops did not see that | 18:00 |
| bobbytek2 | is it wrong to manually place installations in /usr/shared without using a package manager? | 18:00 |
| Tharok | Hmm the Network Manager CLI has to be installed through apt I guess? | 18:00 |
| bobbytek2 | I'm wondering what the best way to install groovy is | 18:00 |
| marc__ | GeekSquid, so, no idea? (I'm all out myself :P) | 18:00 |
| linxeh | bazhang: | 18:00 |
| ikonia | bobbytek2: it's very messy and non-statndard | 18:00 |
| linxeh | bobbytek2: use /usr/local if you must | 18:01 |
| bobbytek2 | linxeh: what about /opt/groovy? | 18:01 |
| bobbytek2 | vs /usr/local/groovy | 18:01 |
| teffers_ | any ideas ikonia | 18:01 |
| switchgirl | hi what is AT SPI REGISTRY WRAPPER? it's in my startup applications can i disable it? | 18:01 |
| arand | Curly_Q: So possibly video drivers issue... If you are going to use kde anyways it might actually be easier to install kubuntu from the start..? | 18:01 |
| linxeh | bobbytek2: or /opt/groovy yeah - /usr/local and /opt are where this kind of thing normally goes. | 18:01 |
| linxeh | bobbytek2: at work we used to have /usr/local/packages/groovy etc | 18:01 |
| quidnunc | bobbytek2: Why can't you use the groovy package? | 18:02 |
| NCS_One | blakkheim: instaled it, restarted and it still doesn't work. Have to change something on mplayer preferences ? | 18:02 |
| bobbytek2 | quidnunc: it's 1.6.3 | 18:02 |
| bobbytek2 | I need 1.7 | 18:02 |
| natrixnatrix89 | !ftpd | 18:02 |
| ubottu | FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP | 18:02 |
| Curly_Q | Arand, I also tried to install Ubuntu Desktop on the same computer and I got a screen which looked like a desert. No icons. However, when I tried Ubuntu on another computer it worked but the screen aspect ratio was off and the icons were out of range. | 18:02 |
| bobbytek2 | so when should I place things in opt vs usr/local? | 18:02 |
| bobbytek2 | me = newbie | 18:03 |
| candy | wirechief, u der? i got into var/log what to do now? | 18:03 |
| teffers_ | any ideas ik | 18:03 |
| usbhelp | um.. can i paste here one line of /var/log/messages? | 18:03 |
| teffers_ | ikonia, * | 18:03 |
| teffers_ | sorry i timed out | 18:03 |
| usbhelp | bah, i'll just paste it in pastebin | 18:03 |
| linxeh | bobbytek2: there is no rule really; /opt is where things usually got placed on other Unix operating systems a long time ago | 18:03 |
| Imaginativeone | can I reinstall ubuntu without destroying the contents of my hd? | 18:03 |
| UseLinux | what does foo mean | 18:03 |
| Imaginativeone | or... | 18:03 |
| bobbytek2 | i see | 18:03 |
| linxeh | UseLinux: its just an example word | 18:03 |
| bobbytek2 | so /opt is more legacy then | 18:03 |
| Imaginativeone | what's the best way to rescue my system? | 18:03 |
| UseLinux | okay | 18:04 |
| linxeh | UseLinux: replace foo with something, maybe a filename etc | 18:04 |
| quidnunc | UseLinux: See the wikipedia entry | 18:04 |
| bazhang | Imaginativeone, do you have a separate home partition | 18:04 |

| quidnunc | usbhelp: Can you paste the log entry that corresponds to you inserting after bootup, after login? Notice that there seem to be many irrelevant entries in the log you posted, all occurring the same time which makes it difficult to isolate the cause of the problem. | 18:11 |

| sman | ciao a tutti | 18:35 |
| yaaar | heroin: the only reason i did that was for testing, because i created a new vhost and it didn't work. so i nuked it and started by copying one i knew worked | 18:35 |
| asha | wirechief-live, yes the same.. i did it again and got the same | 18:35 |
| macman_ | question im doing a growisofs -dvd-compact -speed=2 -Z /dev/sr0=file.iso .. and i get an error that genisoimage can't use = commands | 18:36 |
| Curly_Q | Greezmunkey your right. I was there when all of this happened. I used to program in BASIC and COBOL and all of that stuff. It is old hat. | 18:36 |
| heroin | yaaar: just read the vhost apache documentation its quite simple once you understand it | 18:36 |
| orson | LincoN^: write your python-code in an editor you like, save it and run with "python yourfile.py" | 18:36 |
| meway | heroin let me check the exact error so I am not just comeing to some conclusion :/ | 18:36 |
| LincoN^ | like Gedit? | 18:36 |
| heroin | macman_: use a space instead of that = ? | 18:36 |

| LincoN^ | ok | 18:37 |
| meway | heroin I did | 18:37 |
| cynicaloptimist | but the screen, mouse keyboard, all useless, computer appears to have totally frozen | 18:37 |

| usbhelp | quidnunc, bazhang, do you guys have any idea of where else i can look for info | 18:37 |
| usbhelp | ? | 18:37 |
| yaaar | heroin: i'm not stupid. the vhost is setup just fine. for some reason apache won't interpret the index.php file in this one vhost. the DirectoryIndex is there, the AddType is there, and this vhost is *identical* to the other one that works except for the ServerName, IP, and DocumentRoot | 18:37 |
| meway | heroin: but its the exact same spot both disks :./ | 18:37 |
| heroin | cynicaloptimist: idk, but you can restart the computer with sudo restart or sudo poweroff | 18:37 |

| yaaar | heroin: also, if i go to http://hostname/index.php it works. but just http://hostname/ doesn't. and only for that one vhost. both vhosts only have lines: ServerName and DocumentRoot | 18:39 |

| bcj | The machine then locks up. | 18:45 |
| orson | LincoN^: if you aren't actually in the directory, the file is in, you have to provide the path: python /path/to/python.py | 18:45 |
| bcj | Any ideas? | 18:45 |
| GeekSquid | Cool_C: ubuntu stores the hash, not the cleartext, so unfortunatly no, ... if the password is a dictionary word (probably not - as any good IT person would use a combination of letters and numbers ) you could run the hash through a dcrypt program against a large database of words... again probably wouldn't work but you could try | 18:45 |

| LincoN^ | ok ty for helping, i will continue trying :) | 18:48 |
| cynicaloptimist | Cool_C: oh-gosh. There's a lot of processes to look at on a tinny screen. I take it i should actually see something called 'X-server' or 'foo/bar/X-server'? | 18:48 |

| LincoN^ | ok, sry :) | 18:50 |
| Cool_C | cynicaloptimist: yeah, look for X and kill it, you may have to kill gnome and some other things as well though... may be easier to simply restart thee computer | 18:50 |
| sunson | Cool_C: if X server is dead, all clients will die too. | 18:51 |
| orson | sunson: what about external 1.8" hdd? | 18:51 |
| Cool_C | well. got to go... bye | 18:52 |
| cynicaloptimist | Cool_C: I'm happy doing that, but it'll be great to have some experience doing it this way. I feel a bit dumb, but I can't see a process call 'X' or 'X-server' in the list | 18:52 |

| Slix | Correct. | 18:56 |
| mkquist__ | Slix: sounds like you need to reinstall then... | 18:57 |
| guntbert | cynicaloptimist: try, but probably you will need sudo kill -9 900 (that means "kill really and for good") | 18:57 |

| wirechief-live | Datz_: well your only going to be able to use it with root permissions | 19:00 |
| wirechief-live | Datz_: well your only going to be able to use it with root ownership | 19:00 |
| Datz_ | wirechief-live: might it be a problem because the disk is automounted? | 19:01 |
| Datz_ | what if I mount it manually? | 19:01 |
| wirechief-live | Datz_: only root can change files on ntfs | 19:01 |
| Datz_ | wirechief-live: it doesn't change with something like "sudo chmod -R 755 /path/here" | 19:02 |
| cynicaloptimist | guntbert: woot! progress! the screen wennt black. And is still unresponsive. Keyboard is still useless | 19:02 |
| wirechief-live | Datz_: right, it wont change | 19:02 |
| Datz_ | but I run the command as root. | 19:02 |
| wirechief-live | Datz_: not sure the reasoning for that but ive never had luck | 19:03 |
| Datz_ | humm | 19:03 |
| LincoN^ | Gotta love ubuntu <3 :) | 19:03 |
| orson | Datz_: ntfs is a non-unix filesystem where unix-permissions won't work | 19:03 |
| mkquist__ | Slix: you could use the live cd to fix grub so that you could boot to windows | 19:03 |
| Datz_ | I see | 19:03 |
| wirechief-live | Datz_: thats a good reason | 19:03 |
| guntbert | cynicaloptimist: try alt+left - or alt+F2 - or ctrl+alt+F2 | 19:03 |
| kla | wirechief, Datz_ : if you mount the fs as ntfs-3g with options 'defaults' you should be able to change the files as regular user. I know I can. | 19:03 |
| Slix | Alright. How should I fix grub? | 19:03 |
| orson | !ntfs-3g | Datz_ | 19:04 |
| ubottu | Datz_: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 19:04 |

| norbi905 | Hello. I'm trying to watch trailers off of apple trailers. Using Ubuntu 9.10, when I clicked on HD trailer it used to open Movie Player and play the hd video. Now when it opens Movie player, nothing shows. When I click on non hd version of the player it tries to open quick time but shows that it's not installed. This is through Firefox. Is there some plugin for quicktime? Or an answer to as why the HD tra | 19:12 |

| narcoclepsy | keith_: ok thanks for the correction :-) i am working from memory and use many systems i am sure i got confused. | 19:15 |
| Datz | looks like the problem was automounting the NTFS drive. When I manually mounted it, the symbolic link through apaceh2 to the drive worked | 19:15 |
| narcoclepsy | nimrod10: chile | 19:15 |
| kla | narcoclepsy, ext4 was/is very stable during the time I used it, no data corruption, fast error recoveries, reasonably fast operation, no complaints. | 19:15 |
| narcoclepsy | excellent. | 19:15 |

| mawst | ZykoticK9, heh it's an interesting problem. ioquake gives me sound but puts my monitor out of scan range by default... so I use the point release.... I had to install a libsdl for pulse I think | 19:39 |
| guntbert | a|3x: please stop that ranting - all that happened was you made an error by filling up your disk | 19:39 |
| zanberdo | kla no, I have mounted and unmounted it cleanly on another similarly configured machine (had considered that first off) | 19:39 |
| a|3x | guntbert, wirechief: well, actually, the script records video and it was unable to mount remote smb share so it saved everything to the disk until it filled up | 19:40 |

| eremite | For some strange reason Ubuntu thought I wanted to change my mail program from Thunderbird to Thunderbrid 3 and it looks like crap. The text is all white on a white background and it's hardly useable. How do I fix this major mistake? I didnt want Ubuntu to mess up my mail app, which should work fine since I havent doen any tweaking to this system except for updates. | 19:47 |

| dante123 | hi all, trying to print from windowsxp to ubuntu 9.10 computer with Brother HL-2140 usb printer. I can see the computer but printer does not show up (although it does for another ubuntu pc and is published on network) Any ideas | 19:49 |
| ashwini | i cant get you. what do you mean by where you want? | 19:49 |
| ikonia | eremite: so as you can see 2.0.0.23 is the latest version from ubuntu - not 3, so I doubt it's came from an ubuntu repo | 19:50 |
| ikonia | ashwini: you can set it to where you want | 19:50 |
| teffers | wirechief, i get full acociation mac adress essid key channel the works everything is as it shoudl be | 19:50 |
| Nebula | i am trying to install via drivers i have made them yet i get errors when running ./vinstall_ubuntu | 19:50 |
| sysdoc | eremite, just throw a different theme into thunderbird | 19:50 |
| kla | dante123, you may have to configure CUPS to exports its printers via the SMB protocol | 19:50 |
| dante123 | could it be usb permissions thing.... | 19:50 |
| zanberdo | so i'm thinking maybe I should reload usb_storage module, however, when I attempt to rmmod usb_storage I get "ERROR: Module usb_storage is in use". I can verify i have no usb devices attached, so I attempt to force it with rmmod -f usb_storage and get "ERROR: Removing 'usb_storage': Resource temporarily unavailable" | 19:50 |
| eremite | ikonia, listen mate. Listen again, for the second time. I INSTALLED FROM THE UPDATE MANAGER and I dont care if you believe me or not. I know what I did. | 19:50 |
| xor | Hi there. | 19:50 |
| ashwini | u mean to say i can myself set the classpath for java? | 19:50 |
| dante123 | kla, how do I do that? | 19:50 |
| zanberdo | how can I determine what resource is holding onto usb_storage? | 19:51 |
| ikonia | eremite: that can't be - unless you have non-standard repo's in. Can you pastebin your sources.list please. | 19:51 |
| xor | I want to make some xrandr changes permanent, I know about .xprofile, /etc/gdm/Init/Default, about xorg.conf, and .bashrc, but none of there ways fix the resolution before the splash screen comes up. | 19:51 |
| teffers | wirechief, and it nto only kmy router ti does it on all 3 of my naihgborugh which i kdinalyt asked if i could use to test the errors and my firends | 19:51 |
| Seanehawk | Can't boot up, says Syntax error, beeps, and goes to a command screen. | 19:51 |
| teffers | kindly* | 19:51 |
| guntbert | !attitude | eremite don't "mate" us please | 19:51 |
| ubottu | eremite don't "mate" us please: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 19:51 |
| xor | And I've read the changes to GDM should have been active by the time the splash screen comes up, but they just don't. | 19:51 |
| kla | !printer | dante123 see that last link | 19:51 |
| ubottu | dante123 see that last link: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 19:51 |
| dante123 | is there a way to get into cups from browser? (localhost something) | 19:51 |
| ashwini | and not like in windows as we used to create the variable there and set the the path of the bin... | 19:51 |
| kla | dante123, http://localhost:631 | 19:51 |
| ikonia | dante123: cups is configured through a web interfaces, I think the port is 630 | 19:51 |
| ikonia | ahhh 631 as kla said | 19:52 |
| dante123 | i have the printer working....from the host and another ubuntu pc. | 19:52 |
| wirechief | teffers do you have a ip with ifconfig ? | 19:52 |
| eremite | guntbert, what the hell is wrong with calling someone mate? Are you thick? Do you even know what the word means? | 19:52 |
| ikonia | eremite: lets stay on track - can you pastebin your sources.list file so if we can work out where this update came from | 19:52 |
| teffers | no ti dosent gateghr it read the paste bin is hopwed | 19:53 |
| kla | dante123, probably because CUPS has its own protocol, the other unix has no problem with it | 19:53 |
| teffers | it shows it nto pullign the ips | 19:53 |

| kla | !grub | dandaman Seanehawk | 19:57 |
| Seanehawk | IdleOne: Thanks, I'll try that | 19:57 |
| ubottu | dandaman Seanehawk: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 19:57 |

| ehnde | is there a channel for netbook remix? | 19:58 |
| kla | dandaman, Seanehawk : that's probably a broken grub.cfg file, if you can pastebin the contents of that file.. | 19:58 |

| dzwiecu | hello | 19:58 |
| zanberdo | is there a way to determine what is using a module? in my case usb_storage, which is preventing me from rmmod'ing it? | 19:58 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: lsmod shows it | 19:58 |
| pratik_narain | GeekSquid: ya sure. http://pastebin.com/hYYAS5s6 | 19:58 |
| Nebula | i am not sure where the files have gone but the make and makeinstall succeded | 19:58 |
| Seanehawk | kla: Where is it located and what program is needed to view Ubuntu files on Windows? | 19:59 |
| ikonia | zanberdo: do you have a usb enabled Pc ? | 19:59 |
| psycho_oreos | and modinfo <modulename> | 19:59 |
| teffers | wirechief, Read http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/XprHaGyq | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: try « sudo modprobe -r usb_storage » | 19:59 |
| teffers | you mgith then udnerstand the situation abit more | 19:59 |
| seanbrystone | what package do i need for a GUI VIM, I still want to keep the CLI version though | 19:59 |
| wirechief | teffers you need to see some thing like this in the results of ifconfig: inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 19:59 |
| psycho_oreos | Seanehawk, dualboot or wubi? | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | seanbrystone: gvim ? | 19:59 |
| Seanehawk | psycho_oreos: Wubi | 19:59 |
| psycho_oreos | Seanehawk, ahh not sure if its wubi then | 19:59 |
| seanbrystone | erUSUL, ok i tried vim-gnome, ill give that a try :D | 19:59 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL: lsmod shows that usb_storage is indeed resident. however, it's not clear to me what resource is using it. ikonia: yes erUSUL will try now | 20:00 |
| teffers | wirechief, i wotn get those resulkts | 20:00 |
| teffers | if | 20:00 |
| ujjain | Why does Ubuntu have a grub.cfg and not bootmenu.lst? | 20:00 |
| teffers | DHCP dosent pull ips fromt he router | 20:00 |
| dandaman | i used wubi to install also | 20:00 |
| kla | Seanehawk, the file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg and I don't think it's viewable on windows :( - but if you know a bit about GRUB commands you can load the system manually even without the menu | 20:00 |
| psycho_oreos | zanberdo, there's modinfo as well | 20:00 |
| teffers | whitch it isnt cos erm dhcp seem to be timign out | 20:00 |
| wirechief | teffers your killswitch is enabled you wont get anything till its enabled | 20:00 |
| zanberdo | psycho_oreos, thanks. let me see what that tells me | 20:00 |
| kla | ujjain, probably because it's using GRUB2, not the old .97 | 20:00 |
| dandaman | kla: how do you load it without the grub menu? | 20:00 |
| IdleOne | ujjain: because it uses grub2 as of 9.10 release | 20:00 |
| teffers | it is enable | 20:00 |
| teffers | else iw ouldent be able toi scan | 20:00 |
| tharok | ujjain due to grub2 | 20:00 |

| Seanehawk | I'll try to pastebin it | 20:00 |
| teffers | youd acctually see this | 20:01 |
| Seanehawk | Be back in a few. | 20:01 |
| dante123 | kla, one of those links has a pretty good how-to.....thanks! :-) | 20:01 |
| ujjain | kla; IdleOne; tharok: Thanks! | 20:01 |

| zanberdo | psycho_oreos, sadly though that provides a heck of a lot of info, it doesn't tell me what I'm looking for (I don't think) | 20:01 |
| dante123 | hi all, is there a GUI way to edit startup OS menu....for grub2 | 20:01 |
| kla | dante123, you're welcome. hope it works :-) | 20:01 |

| ikonia | TheStreetRacer: xorg has some touch screen support, it depends on your screen | 20:02 |

| zanberdo | erUSUL: $ lsmod |grep usb_storage usb_storage 99648 1 | 20:02 |
| TheStreetRacer | ok tanks | 20:02 |
| seanbrystone | erUSUL, I had to install vim-gnome, it said gvim is a virtual package provided by vim-gtk and vim-gnome :) | 20:02 |
| kla | !grub > dandaman | 20:02 |
| ubottu | dandaman, please see my private message | 20:02 |
| TheStreetRacer | my pc is HP iq512 | 20:02 |
| zanberdo | psycho_oreos, $ modinfo usb_storage ... depends: <blank> | 20:02 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: it does not depend on any other module. something else is preventing the rrmmod | 20:02 |
| dante123 | <p1oooop> i thought grub2 works differently and you cant just edit a file... | 20:02 |
| p1oooop | dante123: there is a command to make it autoupdate; however, I think the file is set as read-only | 20:02 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, aye, that's what it appears | 20:02 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, I guess the question is: what | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: maybe you have some usb disk mounted? or flash drive? | 20:03 |
| dante123 | i knew how to do it with the old grub....but this new one confuses me | 20:03 |
| Nebula | brb | 20:03 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, nope, nothing attached to USB atm | 20:03 |
| p1oooop | dante123: I would suggest making a "backup copy" of grub.cfg and then deleting it | 20:03 |
| pratik_narain | GeekSquid: are you there | 20:03 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: modprobe -r does not work either? | 20:03 |
| p1oooop | dante123: it being the original file | 20:03 |
| infid | thanks ZykoticK9 | 20:03 |
| wirechief | teffers if you had wicd you could set a static ip, i am not sure about network-manager being able to do that. apt-get install wicd if you can. | 20:03 |
| teffers | sorry im gettign irate with you wirechief but you dotn seem to be readign the paste bin | 20:03 |
| GeekSquid | pratik_narain: please be patient ... look at this ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/385291/ | 20:04 |

| bikcmp | How do I remove a shared network folder? | 20:05 |
| raipens | Anyone knows easy way to get rid of that amd unsupported hardware watermark | 20:05 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: :/. something i do not get... your lsmod shows usb_storage as used by one module (the 1 after the size) but does not show which module it is | 20:05 |
| bikcmp | under places, I want to remove it. | 20:05 |
| teffers | but that menas myt wirelss is turned on | 20:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, glad to help | 20:05 |
| teffers | cos other wise if it was off i would not be able to get as far as acosciatioon would i | 20:05 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, now you see my confusion... :) | 20:05 |
| pratik_narain | GeekSquid: My modem is micromax mmx372g 3g usb modem. i'm using it in India with a BSNL 3G SIM card | 20:05 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, that and I can't force it to remove | 20:05 |
| IdleOne | bikcmp: right click the folder and go into properties > Sharing | 20:06 |
| bikcmp | IdleOne: It won't let me right click it. | 20:06 |
| bikcmp | just disappears. | 20:06 |
| Seanehawk | What program can I use to view Ubuntu files via Windows? | 20:06 |
| IdleOne | bikcmp: not from the menu but from within nautilus | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: well removing a module is major surgery as far as the kernel is concerned ;) it only does it when it is really safe | 20:06 |
| p1oooop | dante123: so, a recap of everything I just said... 1: find the grub.cfg file 2: make a copy of the file 3: delete the original 4: run "sudo grub-mkconfig" | 20:06 |
| zanberdo | I hate to concede that I may have to reboot, but I think it's time. This time I won't attempt to plug in any usb devices and see if I can at least remove/reinstall the module... (note: i have attempted rebooting to "resolve" the problem already to no avail) | 20:06 |
| erUSUL | !ext3 | 20:06 |
| ubottu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 20:06 |
| wiesshund | Seanehawk, you mean like SAMBA file sharing? | 20:07 |
| kla | Seanehawk, if the filesystem you installed with is ext4 you will NOT be able to view using Windows | 20:07 |
| pratik_narain | !3g | 20:07 |
| yilia85 | vhhv | 20:07 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: why do you need to remove the module? | 20:07 |
| piero | Hi! I have some broken packets in my dump file (wireshark says there's a cut in the middle of some packets). Can I fix it? (I can't merge those files until I don't fix this problem). Thanks | 20:07 |
| yilia85 | iy | 20:07 |
| p1oooop | dante123: and of course, if it doesn't work, restore the original from the backup | 20:07 |
| kla | p1oooop, what's the purpose of #4 ? | 20:07 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, I don't, per se. However, since I am unable to mount the USB device I had thought I might next attempt to remove and reinstall the module to assess whether or not this has an impact. | 20:07 |

| zanberdo | erUSUL, if you'd like, I'm happy to restate my original problem, which is simply that my ipod is not mounting... | 20:09 |
| dante123 | I simply want to put the Windows at the top (loads first by default) and linux after that | 20:09 |
| p1oooop | dante123: well, someone decided to make the file "read-only" so you can't save :P | 20:09 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, by this I mean I'm happy to provide whatever details you'd like :) | 20:09 |
| Seanehawk | Ext2 viewer not working. | 20:09 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, always happy to help get help! :) | 20:09 |
| Seanehawk | Can't pastebin grub.cfg | 20:09 |
| dante123 | <p1oooop> so basically you cannot change boot order (at least not as easily as in old grub)??? | 20:09 |
| {C}ronos | can anyone tell me how to mount a device after umount through terminal? | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: trigger the factoid is probably all i can do. i've never owned an ipod | 20:10 |
| p1oooop | dante123: well, not easily | 20:10 |
| matt_f | is it possible to route rendered graphics over a network? (so basically have one box running an openGL application, but rather than outputting to the screen, it sends the display scenes over the network) | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: but many ipods can not be mounted as usb_storage | 20:10 |
| p1oooop | dante123: you can still copy the file and delete the file | 20:10 |
| dante123 | what was the thinking behind that.... | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | !ipod | 20:10 |
| ubottu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 20:10 |
| {C}ronos | without unpluging and repluging | 20:10 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, thanks. however, this particular ipod has been used on this machine for the last 8 months up until just yesterday, so I know it can mount it. | 20:10 |
| IdleOne | bikcmp: click on Places > Home folder and navigate to the folder you want to stop sharing | 20:10 |
| kla | dante123, you can edit '/etc/default/grub' and set GRUB_DEFAULT= line and then issue 'sudo update-grub2' to regenerate your grub.cfg | 20:10 |
| dante123 | <p1oooop> the only thing I want to change is boot order....but doing what you suggest isn't going to do what I need is it? | 20:10 |
| p1oooop | dante123: so, make a "backup copy", then make a blank file of the same name "grub.cfg" | 20:11 |
| Nebula | ok guys i put together a much better detailed description of my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/385294/ please help | 20:11 |
| dandaman | none of the info on the grubhowto page is helping me boot into unr | 20:11 |
| guntbert | {C}ronos: what kind of device? usb? | 20:11 |
| p1oooop | dante123: then from there, copy your original file into the new one | 20:11 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, and in this case I think (stress think) it's more to do with the automounter than with the ipod, as I've verified this ipod can be mounted on other machines of similar configuration and on this same machine under windows. | 20:11 |
| {C}ronos | yes a usb | 20:11 |
| bikcmp | IdleOne: I think you mis-understood, I ment I did places>connect to server | 20:11 |
| zanberdo | erUSUL, so I'm thinking it's something to do with my install being broken somewhere, and it had to have happened recently. | 20:12 |
| dante123 | kla, but when you regenerate the grub.cfg won't it just give you the same thing....ubuntu first...windows last??? | 20:12 |
| p1oooop | dante123: well, we need to make the file writable in order to change boot order | 20:12 |
| erUSUL | zanberdo: weird; but i do not have any insight in the issue sorry | 20:12 |
| guntbert | {C}ronos: then I don't think its possible | 20:12 |

I've checked dmesg and I see an error "device-mapper: multipath: Failing path 8:16.", so I've run multipath -v 2 -l and get 2000a27001921f121dm-3 Apple ,iPod [size=1.9G][features=0][hwhandler=0]\_ round-robin 0 [prio=0][enabled] \_ 2:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 [failed][undef] | 20:50 |

| john__ | not sure here so here I go | 20:56 |
| MatBoy | mhh, weird, modem not seen at all | 20:56 |
| john__ | I have set up an older computer with xubuntu (ubuntu 8.04 hardy) from a disk I created from a down load about a year or so ago. After the install was complete I put in a wireless card (dwl-g510 with the Atheros chip set) To my supprise when I booted back up the system showed it was now using a proprietary driver. I then configured my wirless conection and wala internet, I was stocked I did not have to rack my brain figuring this out. | 20:56 |
| john__ | Then I decided to do the updates that the system said were available and it ended up happening in 3 diffrent partial updates untill the last one was done. All this was done with the wireless adapter as I had unpluged the land line. | 20:56 |
| john__ | I then installed the updates and wala the wireless was no where to be found. | 20:56 |
| john__ | I have checked to make sure the system reconizes the card and it does however there is no drive. I have tried to download drivers from many source and have instaled the wireless configuration gui to no avail. Every download it either says not a valid driver file or after it is installed it says it is invalid. | 20:56 |
| erUSUL | user__: usually dropping the tar.gz of the theme into the System>preferences>appearance window do the trick | 20:56 |

| heroin_ | wiesshund: system > administration > system monitor | 21:19 |
| lfaraone | jevidl: yes, I told it to do a quick init. | 21:19 |
| heroin_ | have a look at what part of your system spikes when you launch something | 21:19 |
| lfaraone | jevidl: should I have set it to 'build' or 'clean' instead when creating the array? | 21:19 |
| heroin_ | wiesshund: i have 2GB of ram and that is more then plenty | 21:19 |
| qweqwe | erUSUL: one more question how do you write the Makefiles to the kernel modules ? you use kbuild ? | 21:20 |
| stefg | lfaraone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvell_Technology_Group_chipsets might help | 21:20 |
| jevidl | lfaraone: ok. I've not used the adaptec cards in a while, but I would try using build instead, and see if that helps. | 21:20 |
| erUSUL | qweqwe: i'm not kernel hacker myself. but you have oplenty of kernel makefiles to look at ;) | 21:20 |
| lfaraone | jevidl: hm. it warns that "build" may take several hours. | 21:20 |
| jevidl | lfaraone: I've definitely installed ubuntu on hardware raid before with no issue. How big is your RAID array going to be? | 21:20 |
| lfaraone | jevidl: 250GB. | 21:21 |
| knasto | Can someone please walk me through connecting to a WPA wireless network through the terminal? | 21:21 |
| wiesshund | heroin_, ok tried that, guess its just cpu spiking. launched firefox and it hit 100% for a second | 21:21 |
| jevidl | lfaraone: I doubt it will take several hours. how many discs involved? 2? 3? What raid level? | 21:21 |
| qweqwe | erUSUL:I saw that they write it using kbuild but i had problem installing it because of the dependency there | 21:21 |
| erUSUL | lfaraone: for what i gather in internet. this is a fakeraid card. in linux you can use sata_mv to run the card and use linux software raid | 21:21 |
| lfaraone | jevidl: 2, level 1 | 21:22 |
| wiesshund | heroin_, guess i shouldnt complain, its an old newcastle athlon64 2.2ghz | 21:22 |
| bjhaid | i installed some applications for playing mp3 and mpeg and I cannot locate them, can anyone help on this? | 21:22 |
| heroin_ | wiesshund: urm.. wiesshund that should be plenty fast | 21:22 |
| heroin_ | wiesshund: perhaps you want to switch over to a faster windows manager then gnome, have a look at xubuntu or xfce if you really have speed issues | 21:23 |
| jevidl | lfaraone: yeah, I wouldn't expect to wait hours for that. You may want to do some investigating to see if this is true hardware raid or "fake raid". If it is just fake raid, you may be better off just using software raid, especially if this is a server that you don't expect to have lots of disk i/o | 21:23 |

| CAPcap | How do I run a defrag on my HDD? | 21:24 |
| erUSUL | !defrag | 21:24 |
| ubottu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 21:24 |
| GeekSquid | pratik_narain: hey, you're back ... see what I posted on your ubuntuforums page | 21:24 |
| jevidl | lfaraone: typically, your biggest trade off using software raid involves higher CPU usage vs hardware raid. The nice thing is that mdadm works well and *any* linux install with support for mdadm will be able to use that array, if say, one of your servers dies and you need to recover data | 21:25 |

| liam_ | i have connected to an https server in ubuntu 9.10 but whenever i try to copy files over to my computer rather than copying them it just makes an html document. any ideas as to how to stop this from happening? | 21:36 |
| minderaser | I've just finished installing b43-cutter in an attempt to get my Broadcom bcm4312 wireless working on a Dell Vostro v13 under 9.10. After a reboot I see the b43 activated under Hardware Drivers but nothing in ifconfig. What should I do to get this working? | 21:36 |
| clary | hola | 21:36 |
| clary | holaaaaaaaaaaa | 21:36 |
| clary | soy clara | 21:37 |
| minderaser | erUSUL: see above | 21:37 |
| clary | Im spain | 21:37 |
| knasto | gustin, basically i was screwing around synaptic and accidently removed some gnome dependencies or something(i think). So im trying to reinstall gnome through the terminal, but first I need internet. | 21:37 |
| gustin | knasto: do you know what kind of wifi adaptor it is? | 21:37 |
| Cappy | minderaser, try 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' see if its in ifconfig. | 21:37 |
| gustin | knasto: ah, so wifi worked but you used the network manager when you gnome working? | 21:38 |
| knasto | gustin, yea it worked perfectly fine. no problems. Im in the recovery mode now. | 21:38 |
| Xiphos | I keep getting the Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! error on boot of my Fiesty installation, dual-booting with windows XP. The recovery console highlights the error as : kmap atomic +0x5c/0xz0 SS:ESP 0068df905df8 | 21:38 |
| Xiphos | Any clues?? | 21:39 |
| gustin | knasto: type the following: "sudo iwconfig" | 21:39 |
| Roasted | I dont know how, but my login screen changed. How can I change it back? | 21:39 |
| minderaser | Cappy: wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags, no such device | 21:39 |
| gustin | knasto: does it list a wireless device? | 21:39 |
| knasto | gustin, yes it lists my unsecured network | 21:39 |
| knasto | under wlan0 | 21:39 |
| wiesshund | What exactly does PM mean by this msg? balazar3-3d: | 21:40 |
| wiesshund | Depends: python-soya but it is not going to be installed. is soya not compat with this ubuntu release? | 21:40 |
| gustin | knasto: do you see a MAC address after access point? | 21:40 |
| Xiphos | I keep getting the Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! error on boot of my Fiesty installation, dual-booting with windows XP. The recovery console highlights the error as : kmap atomic +0x5c/0xz0 SS:ESP 0068df905df8 | 21:41 |
| knasto | gustin, it says "Access Point: Not-Associated" | 21:41 |
| heroin_ | someone needs to help me, gnome seems to have a bigger screen then where my bars are, for example, my wallpapers strestch to big :| someone hlpe please | 21:41 |
| gustin | knasto: ok that is why you are not getting an IP via DHCP | 21:41 |
| knasto | gustin, ok so how do I connect to it now? | 21:42 |
| gustin | knasto: type "sudo ip link set wlan0 up" | 21:42 |
| knasto | gustin, ok | 21:42 |
| Cappy | minderaser, sorry im no expert, that was my only suggestion. try googling "wifi command line ubuntu" between that search and the folks here, i got it working on my machine | 21:42 |
| gustin | knasto: then type "sudo iwconfig wlan0 <your essid>" | 21:42 |
| minderaser | Cappy: what type of machine? | 21:42 |
| Xiphos | I keep getting the Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! error on boot of my Fiesty installation, dual-booting with windows XP. The recovery console highlights the error as : kmap atomic +0x5c/0xz0 SS:ESP 0068df905df8 | 21:42 |
| gustin | knasto: then check iwconfig by itself to see if there is a mac address instead of the not associated message | 21:42 |
| wiesshund | heroin_, virtual desktop rez maybe? is the rez your desktop is set to bigger than what your monitors naitive rez is? | 21:42 |
| Cappy | minderaser, desktop machine with wifi card in it, with ubuntu-server installed on it. | 21:43 |
| zongo | hey guys, anyone sharing stuff with a Mac and linux ? | 21:43 |
| Roasted | QUESTION - My login screen is... weird. I never changed it, so I assume it changed with a theme I installed. Well, I want to get it back to default. How can I do that? | 21:43 |
| gustin | zongo: I did with samba | 21:44 |
| gustin | zongo: also fat formatted usb keys seems to wrk well also | 21:44 |
| knasto | gustin, are you sure that command is right. I'm getting "iwconfig: unknown command Koala" (Koala is my essid) | 21:44 |
| zongo | i have this external drive formatted in hfs + non journaled | 21:45 |
| gustin | knasto: sorry, it should be "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Koala" | 21:45 |
| MatBoy | can I check if a modem is still supported by Ubuntu / | 21:45 |
| MatBoy | ? | 21:45 |
| zongo | when i create a folder in this external drive with a mac, I get permissions issues | 21:45 |
| zongo | on my linux box | 21:45 |
| zongo | running ubuntu 9.10 | 21:45 |
| knasto | gustin, now that command worked, but when I run iwconfig, there is still no MAC address | 21:46 |
| gustin | zongo: I have no real experience with hfs, I avoid it when I can | 21:46 |
| zongo | the folder is read-only | 21:46 |
| Cappy | zongo, i've always foud it best to have all my external drives/flash keys formatted with fat32 when using multiple os's | 21:46 |
| gustin | knasto: does dmesg say anything? | 21:46 |
| sami_ubi | hello | 21:46 |
| zongo | ok - but how do you format a 1TB in FAT32 ? | 21:47 |
| gustin | Cappy: NTFS also works well. I use ext3 on my usb hard drives that I use exclusevly with Linux | 21:47 |
| Xiphos | quit | 21:47 |
| gustin | zongo: with a couple of partitions | 21:47 |
| knasto | gustin, I'm going to type the iw config into pastbin really quick. Maybe you can help me better that way. | 21:47 |
| sami_ubi | may I ask, that how can I share my downloaded update files with the other lan ubuntues? | 21:47 |
| zongo | not mentionning the limitations of fat 32 | 21:47 |
| Cappy | zongo, HP make a nifty utility that will let you format a 1tb as fat 32. not sure about doing it under anything but windows though | 21:47 |
| sami_ubi | (so I want to download once) | 21:48 |
| gustin | zongo: Apple is the worst when it comes to playing nice with others. What you may want to try is changing the folder permissions on your mac to allow all users access | 21:48 |
| levu | which package do i need for the manpages of write(2) etc.? | 21:48 |
| zongo | gustin: i have done that | 21:48 |
| zongo | even ignoring all the permissions | 21:48 |
| Jabberjaw | zongo: true fat32 has limitations but the best bet when data has to accessed from diferent OS: fat32 is max 32GB | 21:49 |
| zongo | but to no avail | 21:49 |
| trism | levu: it is probably in manpages-dev | 21:49 |
| sami_ubi | may I ask, that how can I share my downloaded update files with the other lan ubuntues? | 21:49 |
| levu | trism: thx | 21:49 |
| sami_ubi | (so I want to download once) | 21:49 |
| gustin | zongo: then perhaps there is a hint in the logs? /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages on your Linux box | 21:49 |
| blakkheim | sami_ubi: there are many ways | 21:49 |
| kurti_ | I configured a software raid5 array, formatted with ext4, and it is recovering. will the recovering process continue after I reboot my pc? | 21:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 21:49 |
| Jabberjaw | but any other windows then 200 can go to 127GB | 21:49 |
| sami_ubi | blakkheim | 21:49 |
| ChogyDan | sami_ubi: you can either just copy the deb files to the right folders yourself, or use something like apt-cacher/apt-mirror/apt-proxy. I forget which is real and which is the easy one to use | 21:49 |
| levu | trism: yes, it is :) | 21:49 |
| blakkheim | sami_ubi: ftp, http, ssh, samba, nfs.. | 21:49 |
| Cappy | Jabberjaw, i have a number for 500gb external drives i use as storage for media devices on my tv that are formatted fat32 | 21:49 |
| zongo | gustin: i know the issue | 21:50 |
| brjann | kurti_: yep | 21:50 |
| gustin | fat32 is still too limited, you can't have files larger than 2 GiB | 21:50 |
| zongo | but cant solve it | 21:50 |
| blakkheim | gustin: 4GB | 21:50 |
| gustin | zongo: what is the issue | 21:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Gustin: its also not very robust | 21:50 |
| flea | kurti_, shutdown -F to force fsck on next boot | 21:50 |
| gustin | blakkheim: not all OSs will work | 21:50 |
| sami_ubi | blakkheim i want to make it easy, and not use ports, because i cant access to my switch, so i think NO http | 21:50 |
| zongo | I get :" you are not the owner of the folder" | 21:50 |
| sami_ubi | ChogyDan there is some errors when i import the files | 21:51 |
| sami_ubi | *are | 21:51 |
| zongo | user UID 501 and 99 are most of the time: "unknown users" | 21:51 |
| Jabberjaw | Cappy: I access 1GB with a simple microcontroller (atmel atmege 128) : accessing bhuge volumes is a matter of...software | 21:51 |
| gustin | blakkheim: what I meant to say was that the 4 Gib limit is what it is supposed to be, but in the real world 2 Gib is often when the OS fails | 21:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Zongo: if you are mounting a partition then try setting the uid in the options | 21:51 |
| zongo | when i :ls -la: on that folder, I have all the permissions in the worlf | 21:51 |
| gustin | ActionParsnip: I am not a fan of fat, | 21:52 |
| ivansmo | hi guys, when I connect on FTP with filezilla and want to download 2 or more files at once it says maximum connectiod reached and it only downloads one file at the time ?? | 21:52 |
| zongo | ActionParsnip: i have done that as well | 21:52 |
| brjann | ivansmo: that means the FTP server you're connected to is limiting you to 1 connection. | 21:52 |
| brjann | ivansmo: nothing you can do about it, really. | 21:52 |
| gustin | ivansmo: that either you need to change your ftp server config or the option in filezilla | 21:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Ivansmo: possibly in the options. Gftp is more efficient | 21:53 |
| zongo | on all the foldersl, I have read, write and x rights | 21:53 |
| infid | i'm trying to play dvds but its not working. ubuntu says libdvdread4 is already installed and it's saying that libdvdcss2 is not a package but referend to by another package. what should i do? | 21:53 |
| sami_ubi | blakkheim, any ideas ? | 21:53 |
| zongo | but when I try to move a file in it in or out | 21:53 |
| blakkheim | sami_ubi: i gave you plenty of ideas | 21:53 |
| gustin | zongo: can you change the groupid to a number that matches your user in Ubuntu? | 21:53 |
| ivansmo | brjann I connect on that FTP server with filezilla on Windows and I can download more then one file, I try to find on filezilla that option but I cant see that | 21:53 |
| zongo | I get : read-only permissions and you are not the owner | 21:54 |
| gustin | zongo: you have to do that from the MAC command line' | 21:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Zongo: what command are you using to mount? | 21:54 |
| sami_ubi | blakkheim: yeah, but what can i do now, for exampe: i want to use the original package manager, only i want to set my lan "server" :) but how ?? | 21:54 |
| === kgs_ is now known as kgs | ||
| apanappe | Is it here i can get some help with my Ubuntu? | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Ivansmo: click around the options. Maybe there is a conf file setting the limit. Is there a bug logged for it? | 21:55 |
| brjann | ivansmo: I suppose the FTP server could also be too busy right now to allow you more than one connection. | 21:55 |
| brjann | !hi | apanappe | 21:55 |
| ubottu | apanappe: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 21:55 |
| gustin | zongo: ActionParsnip just triggered a memory, I had to mount the hfs FS from the command line using sudo, the built in automagic way did not work for me | 21:55 |
| wiesshund | anyone here do multitrack recording? and if so can you suggest something other than running the windows based apps through wine, which is not working so well for a recording environment | 21:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Gustin: I don't use automount. It gets in the way | 21:55 |
| apeiros_ | hi there. I'm trying to run a `sudo do-release-upgrade` and get the following error: http://pastie.org/846107 (W:Failed to fetch ...) | 21:55 |
| Moral_ | li==================== | 21:55 |
| knasto | Gustin, ok I did typed it in: here it is http://pastebin.com/CP0xG8CX | 21:56 |
| Jabberjaw | wiesshund: try ardour | 21:56 |
| apeiros_ | any hints on what I should do or where I should look in order to resolve the issue? | 21:56 |
| zongo | " /dev/sdb3/ /media hfsplus user, auto, uid=1000, gid=1000 0 0" | 21:56 |
| apeiros_ | the outgoing network connection seems to work just fine (I can wget other stuff just fine) | 21:56 |
| zongo | well the disk is actually mounting ok | 21:56 |
| zongo | I can read with any issue at all | 21:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Apeiros_: try a different server | 21:56 |
| gustin | wiesshund: I do multitrack, ardour and jackd is what I use. | 21:56 |
| ivansmo | I cant see any bug , here is what filezilla says :) Response:530 Sorry, the maximum number of clients (2) from your host are already connected. | 21:57 |
| ivansmo | Error:Could not connect to server | 21:57 |
| apeiros_ | ActionParsnip: excuse my noobness, how do I do that? | 21:57 |
| apeiros_ | also, what server should I try? | 21:57 |
| guntbert | apanappe: what is your problem? | 21:57 |
| sami_ubi | blakkheim or can i config the sources.list ? or what ? | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Zongo: add rw to the options. Otherwise looks great | 21:57 |
| seanbrystone | whats a really good video editor? Specifically one that can edit Sony Handycam's HVCHD format? | 21:57 |
| apanappe | I would like to try out and use the text mode if its the name off it, any way just wondering if theres any walktroughs or something about it? | 21:57 |
| gustin | knasto: ok, we can try to force the BSSID (the MAC address of your AP | 21:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Apeiros_: in admin>software sources | 21:58 |
| zongo | but if the disk is mounting ok, would still think that i would need to edit fstab ? | 21:58 |
| apeiros_ | ActionParsnip: oh, server system. cli only | 21:58 |
| guntbert | !cli | apanappe like that? | 21:58 |
| ubottu | apanappe like that?: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 21:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Seanbrystone: kino is one option | 21:58 |
| apeiros_ | ActionParsnip: I assume it'd be some config file? | 21:58 |
| gustin | knasto: I need to get the MAC address of the router, I need the internal one, the one that you connect to | 21:58 |
| seanbrystone | ActionParsnip, does it edit HVDHC format? | 21:58 |
| gustin | knasto: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning" | 21:58 |
| * apeiros_ looks through /etc/update-manager | 21:58 | |
| ActionParsnip | Apeiros_: then change the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list to point to a different server | 21:58 |
| brjann | ivansmo: Right, that's what I'm saying. The server itself is preventing you from opening more connections. filezilla is trying, but the server's not allowing it. | 21:59 |
| apeiros_ | ActionParsnip: ok. got a suggestion for one that works? | 21:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Seanbrystone: not sure. Its free to try though | 21:59 |
| knasto | gustin, you mean the thing thats written on the back of the physical router? | 21:59 |
| seanbrystone | ActionParsnip, ok ty | 21:59 |
| ivansmo | brjann Thanks, I will download one by one :) | 21:59 |

| gustin | knasto: look at the iwlist output again, do you see the ENcryption key as on or off? | 22:07 |
| sami_ubi | no.. | 22:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Mfen: have you installed the nvidia driver with: gksudo jockey-gtk | 22:07 |
| sami_ubi | the command is right | 22:07 |
| gajan | brjann : so is there any way i can listen to the messages sent to a website ? | 22:07 |

| knasto | Typos_king, basically I screwed up my gnome dependencies or something in synaptic. So gustin is helping connect to the internet through the terminal in the recovery mode so I can reinstall gnome. | 22:12 |

| ActionParsnip | Mikeneedshelp: is the version which fixes it on the repos? | 22:14 |

| ActionParsnip | Koe: I use the guide on pendrivelinux to use windows | 22:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | esay, if you mean "no sound" it is/was VERY common - see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems/KarmicCaveats | 22:17 |
| lucas_ | brjann, i know but -intel-2.7 works so much better than 2.9... | 22:18 |

| Otousan | Karmic does not see my Dell 2130Cn Printer. I have logged the USB ports and is shows up when disconnected and reconnected. Have tried CUPS and can manually add it using the URI from Juanty but does not print. Anybody got something that might fix this? | 22:18 |
| dsdaniel | ronaldo | 22:18 |
| brjann | lucas_: ah, okay. sorry, I don't know any more than that :) | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: when its connected run: lsusb | 22:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: you'll probably find its a rebadged lexmark | 22:19 |
| knasto | Typos_King: what you suggested involved running sudo dhclient wlan0 which still didnt work. as it says "No DHCPOFFERS received" | 22:19 |
| dsdaniel | migrei do windows pra o linux (biglinux) muito bom!! | 22:19 |
| knasto | gustin: ok let me try stopping the network manager | 22:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: one line will identify the printer, websearch for the 8 character hex id to find guides | 22:19 |
| Typos_King | dsdaniel: da wha!? | 22:19 |
| === Myszka is now known as rapcore | ||
| Otousan | Does not show up at all | 22:20 |
| knasto | gustin, I am getting the message "network-manager stop/waitering" | 22:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: is it connected to a usb hub or direct to the pc. Use my nick too so your text highlights | 22:20 |
| gustin | knasto: good news and bad news. THe bad news is that I have to go soon. The good news is that what you want to do is more than doable. | 22:21 |
| Typos_King | knasto: also mentions checking if there's an old pid process to be killed before retrying | 22:21 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip: connected to usb | 22:22 |
| nXhQXv2W | in brasero It says "There is no recordable disk inserted." Ive got my blank DVD-R in there. | 22:22 |
| gustin | knasto: so, I am guessing that this is a laptop? Do you have any kind of wifi indicator light? | 22:22 |
| infid | i'm trying to play dvds but its not working. ubuntu says libdvdread4 is already installed and it's saying that libdvdcss2 is not a package but referend to by another package. what should i do? | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: are you using a usb hub though? | 22:22 |
| knasto | gustin, it is a laptop and the wirless indifcator light is on | 22:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Infid: add the medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 | 22:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | infid, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback | 22:23 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>connected to USB | 22:23 |
| gustin | knasto: ok that is good. does "iwconfig" by itself still show you as not-associated? | 22:23 |
| knasto | gustin, yes | 22:23 |
| gustin | knasto: what version of ubuntu? 9.10? | 22:24 |
| sarah93 | wow you should check this http://bit.ly/bFi9I4 | 22:24 |
| j0nr | even when turning off password protection on printer sharing on win7 machine, ubuntu keeps prompting for user/pass to print to the network printer attached to the win7 machine | 22:24 |
| quidnunc | Where can I find the post-install script of a package? | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: that doesn't answer. Using a usb hub and connecting directly to the system (no hub) are BOTH "connected to usb" | 22:24 |
| knasto | gustin, I can't believe you choose to do this everytime instead of just using the gui for it | 22:24 |
| quidnunc | (a package I just installed) | 22:24 |
| knasto | gustin, yes its 9.10 | 22:24 |
| gajan | brjann: am using a ppp0 interface, hence no mac address to specify.. does wireshark work only with eth ? | 22:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: are you using a hub? | 22:25 |
| knasto | gustin, its 9.10 64bit and the router is a netgear router | 22:25 |
| gustin | knasto: it was only 3 commands once I figured it out, and nm was very flakey to start. TO be fair I created scripts for all the networks I wanted to connect to | 22:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: sudo lshw | less ,may show the printer | 22:25 |
| knasto | gustin, any more ideas? | 22:25 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>Not that I know, printer is directly connected to machine. Sorry, | 22:26 |
| mre__ | I can't pick up a usb , in dmesg i get [34023.376920] FAT: bread failed in fat_clusters_flush? | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Knasto: tried wicd ? | 22:26 |
| gustin | knasto: the hardest part was figuring out WPA from the CLI. The upside is that I now know the wifi stack almost as well as the audio one | 22:26 |
| tliebeck | Why does update manager update google-chrome?....I didn't add a repo for it, but installed it as a .deb myself. | 22:26 |
| brjann | tliebeck: if i remember correctly, the chrome .deb actually installs a repository for itself | 22:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | tliebeck, Google Chrome adds a google repo | 22:26 |
| MFen | ActionParsnip: ok! where do i set monitor refresh rate? | 22:26 |
| knasto | ActionParsnip, no, How do I try it? | 22:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: cool. Try lshw. It may show what's what. Have you checked the dell site for drivers for linux | 22:26 |
| gajan | brjann: am using a ppp0 interface, hence no mac address to specify.. does wireshark work only with eth ? | 22:27 |
| gustin | knasto: ok, sometimes the wifi driver gets "stuck" for lack of a better term. We are going to remove the module and then reinsert it | 22:27 |
| gustin | knasto: lsmod |grep 80211 | 22:27 |
| tliebeck | cool, thanks, appreciate the info. | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Mfen: you can add boot options to set stuff | 22:27 |
| gustin | knasto: you need network access to apt-get it | 22:27 |
| brjann | gajan: I have no idea, sorry :) I only know of wireshark, not much about using it. | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Knasto: used wired lan or your install cd | 22:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Mfen: or try using the safe vga bootoption | 22:28 |
| gajan | brjann: no problem.. thank u | 22:28 |
| gustin | gajan: wireshark should work with any interface, just like tcpdump | 22:28 |
| knasto | ActionParsnip, the whole point of this is so I can reintall gnome through the terminal because I screwed it a dependency | 22:28 |
| tliebeck | and yep, there is most definitely a repo there :) | 22:28 |
| knasto | lol | 22:28 |
| gustin | gajan: you will need root privs, so either start wireshark with sudo or click on the menu option that says root | 22:28 |

| gustin | knasto: you are using the same driver as my laptop, this happens regularly to me, | 22:37 |
| jub369 | alls i know is that i goto country to country and i would love to use the libary pc to connect home lol | 22:37 |
| gustin | knasto: sudo rmmod iwlagn && sudo modprobe iwlagn | 22:37 |
| knasto | wait, gustin it works now | 22:37 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>lshw does not list a printer... | 22:37 |
| gustin | knasto: really? | 22:37 |
| knasto | gustin, i dont know if it was the grepping or the b and g thing | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Jub369: you can use ssh and use x forwarding | 22:37 |
| knasto | gustin, like it diplays a access point | 22:37 |
| gustin | knasto: grep makes no changes, it only searches | 22:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: weird | 22:37 |
| gustin | knasto: ok, almost there | 22:38 |
| kla | jub369, depends on your usage, but 'ssh -X user@home' should do it | 22:38 |
| gustin | knasto: make sure there are no dhcpclients running "sudo ps axf |grep dhclient3" | 22:38 |
| knasto | gustin, so how do I actually connect now | 22:38 |
| knasto | ? | 22:38 |
| A1 | My graphic card isnt working as it should, it worked fine earlier to day. I cant activate the drivers it seems | 22:38 |
| Lantizia | is there a due date set (in april I guess) for 10.04 ? | 22:38 |
| jub369 | i lost whats easyiest to install | 22:38 |
| jub369 | and run | 22:38 |
| gustin | knasto: actually "sudo killall dhclient3" works well | 22:38 |
| jevidl | jub369: You can try X forwarding, but if you are doing this over the internet you will probably want to look at NoX. It will require software that's not built in but it will probably give you better performance over slow links | 22:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lantizia, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 22:39 |
| gustin | knasto: then type "sudo dhclient wlan0" | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Jub369: you'll get a secure connection and can launch your gui apps and they will display on the local pc but be running on the server. You will need xming and putty | 22:39 |
| kla | jub369, or if you need to just transfer files, try sshfs for example | 22:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lantizia, 61 days from today | 22:39 |
| gustin | for just file transfer, winscp work well over ssh | 22:39 |
| jub369 | i need to control | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Jub369: what's easy for one is hard for others and vice versa | 22:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | jub369 | 22:39 |
| ubottu | jub369: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:39 |
| knasto | gustin, it says dhclient3: no process found | 22:40 |
| gustin | jub369: nomachine.com is where you can download NX from, it is free as in beer | 22:40 |
| Lantizia | ZykoticK9, given it's an LTS release... is it more likely to be a stabilised 9.10 than something "cutting edge" | 22:40 |
| gustin | knasto: ok good, then type "sudo dhclient3 wlan0" | 22:40 |
| jub369 | ok thanks | 22:40 |
| === Guest69355 is now known as MJ94 | ||
| ZykoticK9 | Lantizia, #ubuntu+1 is channel for Lucid discussions. I personally view 9.10 as the pre-beta for 10.04 | 22:40 |
| jub369 | is nomachine for linux or windows | 22:41 |
| knasto | gustin, yes it works | 22:41 |
| gustin | knasto: awesome | 22:41 |
| Lantizia | jub369, the server is for unix | 22:41 |

| Otousan | ActionParsnip>usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 7 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x413C pid 0x5514 was the response when I logged the usb ports and disconnected and reconnected the print using tail -f /var/log/messages | 22:41 |
| jub369 | is this same as debian | 22:41 |
| gustin | knasto: it takes a while the first time you do it, but once you figure it all out it much easier and faster than what happened to us today | 22:41 |
| jub369 | cause i use to debian | 22:41 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| knasto | gustin, ok thanks so now i can run something like sudo apt-get install gnome rigtht? | 22:41 |
| Lantizia | jub369, the client is for practically anything | 22:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: websearch that see what you find | 22:42 |
| gustin | knasto: though now that network manager does not suck so much, I just use 90% of the time now | 22:42 |
| kla | Lantizia, this belongs in lucid chan, but a lot of packages have been updated recently, infrastructure and user visiable changes | 22:42 |
| jub369 | ok thanks | 22:42 |
| gustin | knasto: yes, "sudo aptitude update" first | 22:42 |
| gustin | knasto: you probably want "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop" | 22:42 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>been there for two days and found nothing that has worked. | 22:42 |
| Lantizia | kla, I've been considering if I should use 9.10, 8.04 (for stability) or wait for 10.04 | 22:43 |
| duffydack | Lantizia, you might as well wait, now its this close | 22:43 |
| Lantizia | duffydack, and just upgrade from 9.10? | 22:43 |
| gustin | Lantizia: 8.04 is getting a little too old. The driver support is no where near as good as 9.10 | 22:43 |
| kla | Lantizia, I'd say wait as well | 22:43 |
| knasto | gustin, aptget isnt working becaue of dependenices so i used aptitude | 22:43 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>thanks for your interest in helping me. | 22:44 |
| === katie11 is now known as Caitlyn | ||
| gustin | knasto: I use aptitude out of preference. A friend of mine converted me years ago, I don't even think about anymore | 22:44 |
| knasto | gustin, i hope i wont lose any data doing this | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: not sure then. Maybe you'll find guides using the printer model. | 22:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: I buy hp. Hp loves linux :) | 22:44 |
| knasto | gustin, becuase it removed all my gnome panels and gnome programs and reinstall them | 22:45 |
| gustin | knasto: no user data. Even if your machine no longer boots, the data should be safe as long as the hard drive is not physically dying or you have not overwritten the data | 22:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Knasto: make sure your backups are recent then :) | 22:45 |
| kla | Otousan, I will NEVER buy Canon again. | 22:45 |
| MatBoy | ahh ! stupid rs232 modem ! | 22:45 |
| MatBoy | Canon is good | 22:45 |
| gustin | knasto: most of the variables are stored in your home directory, and those get left behind unless you use the purge option | 22:45 |
| kla | MatBoy, not their driver.. | 22:46 |
| knasto | gustin, actionparsnip, done thanks for the help guys. im going to try restarting now and hopefull itll work | 22:46 |
| MatBoy | kla: automaticly recognized here and working damn well | 22:46 |
| gustin | knasto: your user data (like documents, photos etc) do not get deleted, even with the purge option | 22:46 |
| gustin | knasto: best of luck | 22:46 |
| LincoN^ | gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file | 22:46 |
| LincoN^ | tar: Child returned status 1 | 22:46 |
| LincoN^ | tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors | 22:46 |
| LincoN^ | ? why does it say so (sorry for the "enters") | 22:46 |
| FloodBot2 | LincoN^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:47 |
| kla | MatBoy, it recognizes and works all right, their proprietary driver for my printer is worthless though, there's the $$ option with TurboPrint or I'm just stuck with Gutenprint and whatever | 22:47 |
| MatBoy | this is stupid, I can't get a dynalink modem to work which always did before | 22:47 |
| gustin | LincoN^: it looks like the file is corrupt | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: is that during extraction? | 22:47 |
| knasto | gustin, its a miracle. it works now. ive been using windows 7 for over a month! im back to ubuntu finally | 22:47 |
| LincoN^ | yeah | 22:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Matbay: run lsusb;lspci ,and websearch the line identifying the device | 22:48 |
| gustin | knasto: I have both at home. Windows 7 just plays games, and runs nxclient and putty :) | 22:48 |
| LincoN^ | ActionParsnip, yes it is under extraction | 22:48 |
| MatBoy | I wonder why there are so less docs about dynalink and rs232 | 22:48 |
| gustin | knasto: probably cheaper if I just bought a playstation or xbox | 22:48 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip> tried that too...Have HP on another machine. What is wierd is that Jaunty(9.04) cups sees the printer and installs it fine, however I lost internet, so reloaded karmic. | 22:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: then looks like its corrupt. Have you veried the data? | 22:48 |
| comutamike | hi - I'm trying to package some files. I've got a .changes.sources file, but I don't know how to actually build the deb file - Anyone got any ideas? | 22:48 |
| kla | comutamike, quick and dirty: dpkg-deb -b | 22:49 |
| knasto | gustin, i am dual booting both too. but i rarely use windows7 | 22:49 |
| LincoN^ | ActionParsnip, veried? | 22:49 |
| gustin | knasto: well I have to leave now, glad we got it working | 22:49 |
| OerHeks | !build | 22:49 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Otousan: try booting to live jaunty cd and setuop the printer in the live environment. Then see what needs doing in karmic | 22:49 |
| comutamike | kla : Cool - I'll give it a try | 22:49 |
| gustin | knasto: I don't really believe in dual booting, which is why I have seperate machines | 22:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: md5 test if a hash is available | 22:49 |
| arand | comutamike: have you used "debuild -S" ? | 22:49 |
| tdg911 | anyone here can lend a hand with locale settings? im running server 9.10 x86 | 22:49 |
| LincoN^ | ActionParsnip, i just started using ubuntu, but what do you mean with md5 test? | 22:50 |
| arand | !md5 | LincoN^ | 22:50 |
| gustin | knasto: since all I do is play time wasting games, I am considering ditching win7. I have to support windows at work but I don't need it personally anymoe | 22:50 |
| ubottu | LincoN^: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:50 |
| knasto | gustin, lol i see. anyway, the reason it took so long to find the problem is that i thought it was a xorg issue (because the screen kept flickering really weird) but then i realized it was because i "completely removed' a bunch of stuff like evolution etc | 22:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | My Dell Mini 10v netbook headphone jack works perfectly under 8.04.4 LTS, but the onboard speakers do not. Any logic in that? | 22:50 |
| gustin | knasto: I even gave my copy of cubase to a friend now that I do everything I want under linux | 22:50 |
| Otousan | ActionParsnip>thank you, again. bye | 22:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: you can calculate a code based on the data and compare it to the md5 hash on the site you downloaded from | 22:51 |
| knasto | gustin, why dont you believe in dual booting? | 22:51 |
| nXhQXv2W | How do i force a blank dvd to showup in burning software? | 22:51 |
| gustin | knasto: I have borked my machine so many times over the years... I still screw up | 22:51 |
| LincoN^ | so i check if there has been any errors while DLing or what? | 22:51 |
| knasto | gusitn, good point | 22:51 |
| knasto | gustin, well anyway i have to go now. thanks for the help again | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: if there's one on the site, use it. If not then redownload the data | 22:52 |
| gustin | knasto: with virtualbox/xen/vmware etc. on the rare occasions that I need two OSs on a single piece of hardware, virtualization works for me | 22:52 |
| arand | LincoN^: yes, to check the file you have is exatcly that which the server has | 22:52 |
| LincoN^ | it is 0 byte file so it must be corrupt | 22:52 |
| gustin | knasto: most of the time dual boot wastes more time than it saves, | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: sounds it | 22:52 |
| gustin | knasto: again this is for me. I am not suggesting that everone abandon it, it is just not useful to me | 22:52 |
| LincoN^ | it was just a python script so it doesnt really matter but i just wanna check so i know :) | 22:53 |
| s4z3n | whats a good way to get rid of the netbook launcher | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Lincon^: this is why data checks are good. For iso downloads too | 22:53 |

| jwage | I am getting this error when restarting apache: "Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe. You need to recompile PHP.". I don't want to need apache to be running a threaded MPM. How can I remove this or disable it? | 22:54 |
| gnugi | how do I kno which are gnome? | 22:54 |
| arand | LincoN^: follow the !md5 factoid link for how-to. | 22:54 |
| kla | scott_ino2, I think the uninstaller is somewhere under /opt/amd or /etc/amd or /etc/ati or something like that, it's called fglrx-uninstall if memory serves right | 22:54 |
| gnugi | What about deletin them? | 22:54 |
| infid | if i want launch a gui app once every 30 minutes is cron the best tool for the job? | 22:54 |
| red | jwage: you dont want to run php at all? | 22:54 |

| ubottu | scott_ino2: perhaps this would help: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:55 |
| jwage | no, I don't care that apache is threaded | 22:55 |
| tdg911 | I have a shell script that I am pulling out the byte size to compare against a set variable. when running via cl the script works fine but when running from cron its printing the 4th column instead of the 5th column.

| Pirate_Hunter | My TP-Link 300Mbps wireless pci adapter (TL-WN951N) doesn't give me 100% signal, it is mostly at 60-70% signal which I find weird since the rooter is in the same room. Also it often drops to 38% signal which should never happen. Can anyone tell me if I have to load any specific drivers for it to work properly? | 22:55 |
| scott_ino2 | kla, ok sounds good i'll check it out... | 22:55 |
| ubottu | Infid: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 22:55 |
| scott_ino2 | kla, and see if it's in there... | 22:55 |
| jwage | red: I did something that changed this and now I am getting this error. I just want to disable or uninstall it | 22:55 |
| infid | ActionParsnip: well by 'best' i mean the right tool for the job, no where near trying to start a 'best' war | 22:55 |
| red | reinstall apache and php? | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnugi: stuff like .gnome2 .gnome etc etc | 22:55 |
| brjann | Pirate_Hunter: it's more likely that the channel your wifi network uses is noisy. maybe other wireless networks near you are on the same channel? | 22:56 |
| jwage | red: it says "Apache is running a threaded MPM" I am not sure how to make apache not to run a threaded MPM | 22:56 |
| red | can't help you sorry :/ | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Infid: cron is one option for the job | 22:56 |
| knasto | gustin, yea im going to try virtualbox. im just not sure how well itll run on my laptop | 22:56 |
| === guilherme is now known as Guest32582 | ||
| Pirate_Hunter | brjann, in the home that is the only wifi and I dont think the neighbours would cause that much noise considering the poor signal they have from me | 22:57 |
| === Guest32582 is now known as Guilherme_BRA | ||
| Pirate_Hunter | brjann, however, how can I improve the signal? | 22:57 |
| infid | ActionParsnip: i know it's an option but it is even even a decent option? i know cron can't even run gui apps without forcing it to use the DISPLAY variable. and what other options in linux are there? | 22:57 |
| knasto | knasto, i bet probably xp would run better in virtualbox than 7 | 22:58 |
| knasto | gustin, i bet probably xp would run better in virtualbox than 7 | 22:58 |
| brjann | Pirate_Hunter: through the access point's administration interface, you should be able to choose a different channel. | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Infid: at is another option but could get messy. Hunt around. I'd use cron personally but there is no best | 22:58 |
| nXhQXv2W | Oh im a dummy... No DVD burning for me. Its a CD burner DVD reader combo | 22:59 |

| syn-ack | duncanidaho1: it's a configurable firewall. | 23:01 |
| syn-ack | duncanidaho1: rather, install gufw | 23:02 |
| brjann | Pirate_Hunter: beware that when you change the channel, your AP will probably have to reboot and you'll lose connectivity for a few moments. | 23:02 |
| duncanidaho1 | ok I have that and the gui to use it | 23:02 |
| syn-ack | duncanidaho1: read the documentation and enjoy | 23:02 |

| duncanidaho1 | alirght. Thanks | 23:03 |
| brjann | Pirate_Hunter: good luck :) | 23:03 |

| kla | garic, yes you can define a port to use in the list on top | 23:12 |
| JoelJ | I have a Karmic host, and when I have VirtualBox running in seamless mode, I don't get any notifications from pidgin, rhythmbox, etc | 23:12 |

| seyacat | How can i install ubuntu from mi current ubuntu. But other partition or hard drive | 23:12 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: If I do gnome-mount -vbd /dev/sdc1 it mounts fine | 23:12 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: it's just not mounting automatically when the key is plugged in | 23:12 |
| kla | mpower, '/join #radeonhd' is the command you're looking for | 23:12 |
| gnugi | I deleted gnome files and here is how my desktop looks now http://i48.tinypic.com/2aiiydx.png | 23:12 |
| Typos_King | seyacat: you mean, you want to 'migrate' your ubuntu installation to another hardware? | 23:13 |
| mpower | #quit | 23:13 |
| gnugi | I want gnome back | 23:13 |
| seyacat | No same distribution. Only new install | 23:13 |
| Typos_King | rmatte:..... ahe.... that's done with a running deamon in gnome..... can't recall the service, I gather is not running in your system right now | 23:14 |
| rmatte | seyacat: obviously just run the installer and select that drive as the installation destination | 23:14 |
| garic | kla, sorry im actually using gnome-xchat not the other one. | 23:14 |
| Typos_King | rmatte: check your bootup services | 23:14 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: you mean hal and udev? | 23:14 |
| seyacat | Yes . What is the istalator package please | 23:14 |
| kla | garic, ah | 23:14 |
| garic | my bad should be more clear, sorry | 23:14 |
| Typos_King | rmatte: might be hal in combination with other | 23:14 |
| kla | seyacat, maybe the package 'ubiquity' is what you're looking for. Can't be certain | 23:15 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: hal is running, udev is running | 23:15 |
| seyacat | Ubiquity ty so much | 23:15 |

| kla | Steppzor, maybe this is what you're looking for, http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Wubi_9.10 | 23:19 |

| duncanidaho1 | in ufw what is the difference between reject and deny? | 23:19 |
| rmatte | sativa: tabs and windows are just visual organizers, it's not going to change the amount of memory that your apps are using | 23:19 |
| redIago | @garic at the first window you see when starting xchat it will show you a window with a list of servers click on the one you want and click edit | 23:19 |
| redIago | you will see port options | 23:19 |
| sativa | What happens if you go over your limit on memory? | 23:20 |
| Steppzor | thanx kla.. i'll try that | 23:20 |
| redIago | @garic or you can go to file > network list and do the same thing | 23:20 |
| gaston_ | lorena | 23:20 |
| rmatte | sativa: it starts to use swap space and your system slows down | 23:20 |
| rmatte | sativa: if all memory and swap gets eaten up, the system will eventually crash | 23:20 |
| garic | redIago, on file i have connect..., file transfers and quit | 23:21 |
| sativa | rmatte does this have any permident affect on the computer? | 23:21 |
| redIago | for xchat? | 23:21 |
| rmatte | sativa: no, it's impossible for software to damage hardware components these days | 23:21 |
| riwa | How would I reverse all my drivers to default? Can I somehow insert the disk and "only install graphics drivers" without modifiying the rest of the system? | 23:21 |
| redIago | ah sorry, click xchat > network list | 23:21 |
| garic | redIago, I have checked edit-> preferences -> network -> chose entwork -> edit and there was no port option. | 23:21 |
| rmatte | sativa: you may end up with some filesystem corruption if a crash occurs, but generally that can be corrected with fsck | 23:22 |
| garic | redIago, nope im using xchat-gnome not xchat | 23:22 |
| sativa | rmatte thanks | 23:22 |
| redIago | ah my bad | 23:22 |
| rmatte | sativa: np | 23:22 |
| redIago | anyone know how to get an intel hda sound card to work on ubuntu? | 23:23 |
| rmatte | so no one has any idea why I can go a gnome-mount -vbd /dev/sdc1 and see my usb key in nautilus, hal and udev are running, gnome-volume-manager is installed, automount is enabled in nautilus, but my automount is not working...? | 23:23 |
| kla | !sound | redIago | 23:23 |
| ubottu | redIago: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:23 |

| garic | ok i found answer to my question had to use example.com/6697 instead of example.com:6697 | 23:25 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: already tried that package and according to the package's home page, it doesn't do anything UI related | 23:25 |
| rmatte | but even with the package installed it didn't automount my drive | 23:26 |
| pfred1 | does anyone know how I can fix this? libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed | 23:26 |

| rmatte | jumar: I installed pmount | 23:27 |
| Typos_King | rmatte: what about gnome-volume-manager package? | 23:27 |
| jumar | pmount mounts really problematic fat32 and ntfs keys too, udf systems that xubuntu doesnt handle right via thunar, might work with nautilus too | 23:27 |
| seanbrystone | trism, ok many thanks, some reason sudo apt-get install deskbar(Tab) (Tab) (tab) didnt show "deskbar-applet" or "deskbar" | 23:27 |

| hiexpo | hello all | 23:28 |
| garic | ah ok thx kla | 23:28 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: gnome-volume-manager is installed, I stated that previously, didn't help at all | 23:28 |
| Typos_King | rmatte or gnome-mount assuming something might be off with it | 23:28 |
| pfred1 | kla hey they were handy! | 23:28 |
| rmatte | gnome-mount works | 23:28 |
| rmatte | it just doesn't work automatically | 23:28 |
| rmatte | when I plug the drive in it used to automount in 9.04 | 23:28 |
| rmatte | since the upgrade to 9.10 it's been messed up | 23:28 |
| jumar | rmatte: that too happens with me with dvds and usbs, but pfred suggestion is good | 23:29 |
| Typos_King | rmatte: ohhh.... it does mount on GUI, you just want it automounted from bootup | 23:29 |
| kla | pfred1, no shame in that. I have aliases for configure commands.. | 23:29 |
| pfred1 | kla I'm getting hosed getting my system up to building a package right now | 23:29 |
| rmatte | Typos_King: no, it ONLY mounts on UI if I manually run gnome-mount | 23:29 |

| donvito | what about the webcam??? | 23:39 |
| Typos_King | pfred1 sounds the package you're installing needs older version than the one you already have installed.... meaning adding it will just create a lib conflict, if it does at all | 23:39 |

| rmatte | also, if I run gnome-volume-properties there is no storage tab, when there should be | 23:45 |
| jumar | pfred1 and rmatte: i got no more ideas, maybe udev rules are the problem, but it seems that a lot of people have this issue in karmic | 23:45 |
| kla | bun_bun, right, run that from a terminal | 23:45 |
| bun_bun | running now. stand by | 23:45 |
| nitrate_ | Hi, Just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. No audio anymore. Any hints to get it working? (system->pref->sound has a empty hardware/device list) | 23:45 |
| Gnosiz | hey, does Ubuntu Netbook Remix work on Asus Eee 4g ? | 23:45 |
| rmatte | jumar: well, I hope that it's fixed in the next version, it's quite frustrating | 23:45 |
| Gnosiz | I've seen mixed answers. | 23:45 |
| kla | !sound | nitrate_ | 23:46 |
| ubottu | nitrate_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 23:46 |
| nich0s | Question: Is there a channel dedicated to answering questions about getting DHCP to work properly for a total n00b to the subject? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | nich0s: no | 23:46 |
| nich0s | ikonia, Shall I just ask them here then or should I take my questions to tubes? | 23:46 |
| ikonia | nich0s: are you using ubuntu ? | 23:46 |
| nich0s | ikonia, Yes | 23:47 |
| jumar | rmatte: if its a clean install then you should try to install jaunty | 23:47 |
| ikonia | nich0s: then, you're in Ubuntu support, so ask | 23:47 |
| bun_bun | after I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc it's asking me now for a "Linux command line" | 23:47 |
| bun_bun | what do I type there? | 23:47 |
| nitrate_ | thanks kla, I shall have a look at it now. | 23:47 |
| Typos_King | heheh | 23:47 |
| Steppzor | I installed my nvidia graphic drivers and rebooted. but not the screen is black.. what to do? | 23:47 |
| jumar | lucid is coming in april or june, so jaunty is an option | 23:47 |
| jumar | still | 23:48 |
| Typos_King | bun_bun try kla's spot first, since that's a big more global of a change <---- if that's no there, you can always use /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 23:48 |
| pfred1 | how in the heck can a distribution have one of the most important libraries in it screwed up as colossally as this? | 23:48 |
| bun_bun | kla: did I need to change something in /etc/ before the dpkg command? | 23:48 |
| ralf_ | hi all, just finishing off ubuntu for a 78 year old with eldy software but i have one problem | 23:48 |
| Typos_King | pfred1: what do you mean? it was already installed? | 23:48 |
| pfred1 | Typos_King no it isn't | 23:48 |
| kla | bun_bun, nope no changing anything, put the options on the second prompt no the first | 23:49 |
| pfred1 | Typos_King Package `libgtk2.0-dev' is not installed and no info is available. | 23:49 |
| rmatte | right, so my gnome-volume-manager executable is actually missing, I tried removing and reinstall it from aptitude but same results, that's probably my issue | 23:49 |
| Typos_King | pfred1: have you done.... a sudo apt-get update? | 23:49 |
| donvito | with what kind of messenger can i spoke with webcam and voice i mean MSN ONE | 23:49 |
| kla | bun_bun, leave first dialog as is, click next, enter options, click next, select drive(s), click ok.. wait.. reboot. done | 23:49 |
| pfred1 | Typos_King and it can't install because the stupid package manager is getting confused with the library name suffix! | 23:49 |
| jumar | pfred1: there are always issues like that, i smashed my head to the wall with hardy and that was an lts, nearly killed my laptop, but intrepid solved a lot of things, then jaunty, so what i do now if i can solve something in a week in my spare time, i wait | 23:49 |
| bun_bun | kk | 23:49 |
| kla | pfred1, and the packagers insists on a '=' version check.. | 23:50 |
| pfred1 | Typos_King been there done that | 23:50 |
| Crewsr3 | does it matter if the output on a check sum has capital letters or lower case letters. I have two checks sums and they match accept one has the letters capitalized and the other does not. Does this matter | 23:50 |
| ralf_ | how an earth do i create a quit button on desktop instead of menu then quit? | 23:50 |
| Ryan1 | Crewsr3: No | 23:50 |
| Crewsr3 | Ryan1, so I can safely say they match? | 23:50 |
| Ryan1 | Crewsr3: Yes | 23:50 |
| Crewsr3 | Ryan1, thanks! | 23:50 |
| Typos_King | ralf_ isn't the distribution already mapping the Power button on the computer for 'poweroff'? | 23:51 |
| actionParsnip | yo yo yo | 23:51 |

| Fade | is there a powerpc specific ubuntu channel on freenode? | 23:54 |
| jumar | it's a simple launcher, try to create one on the desktop or panel | 23:55 |
| bun_bun | ralf_ the older version was fine. I thought they were good but we just bought a brand new L505 and it's garbage IMO | 23:55 |
| ralf_ | jumar i suppose i could show him but i really want to get rid off all menu panels | 23:55 |
| kla | Fade, #ubuntu-ppc | 23:55 |

| ikonia | wizard00: that is a dead (end of life version) | 23:57 |
| ikonia | !eol | wizard00 | 23:57 |
| ubottu | wizard00: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 23:57 |
| jumar | ralf_ im on xfce right now, but it must be a gnome-session command with flags, so the launcher you create got to have that command and any icon you like | 23:58 |
| ralf_ | he had windows pc in house and not been used for 2 years how ever if i just have simple icons on desktop and get rid of menu panels and the like he would use it more | 23:58 |
| Typos_King | donvito: msn.... they do video..... didn'tknow nor do I use them anyhow... .... can't say | 23:58 |
| jumar | ralf_ or an extra command, right now i cant test it | 23:58 |
| pfred1 | wizard00 thats OK I have Ubuntu 9.10 and i can't seem to install the libgtk2.0-dev package myself! | 23:58 |
| wizard00 | is 5.10 a EOL version?? | 23:58 |
| wizard00 | ubuntu | 23:59 |
| ikonia | pfred1: whats the problem installing it | 23:59 |
| jpds | wizard00: Yes. | 23:59 |
| ralf_ | jumar ho do i do that? | 23:59 |
| ikonia | wizard00: yes, 8.04 is the latest current | 23:59 |
| pfred1 | ikonia Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (=2.18.3-1) but 2.18.3-1ubuntu2 is to be installed | 23:59 |
| ikonia | wizard00: as in the earliest available | 23:59 |
| kla | wizard00, I'd say so, it's been 5 years | 23:59 |
| ikonia | pfred1: why is that a problem? | 23:59 |
| pfred1 | ikonia bwcause it won't install | 23:59 |
| Typos_King | pfred1 there's a way to 'force' it in dpkg, and if you succeed most likely it'll just create conflicts | 23:59 |
| wizard00 | ok. so to install software i need to get a newer release (8.04 in particular?) | 23:59 |
| cfedde | http://www.ubuntu.com/products/ubuntu/release-cycle%20 | 23:59 |
| jumar | please someone help us with gnome-session logout-shutdown from command line, so ralf_ will be abel to create a launcher ont the desktop | 23:59 |
