| airtonix | how do i find out what dbus path ubuntu maps the laptop lid to (i assume it will be different for different makes and models of latops), currently on my machine the laptop lid button maps to the dbus path of : /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_4 | 00:01 |

| Wubuntu | I have a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 video card that gives me screen resolution problems with Ubuntu 9.10. Can anyone please off me any assistance with this problem? | 00:01 |
| brjann | sensae: you should be able to use sudo gdm stop | 00:02 |
| garhol | wubuntu: i'm on the 440mx. what problems you having? | 00:02 |
| Wubuntu | even with the proprietary driver,...i have to change screen resolution each time i reboot | 00:02 |
| sensae | brjann: Nope | 00:02 |
| Elrox | Loren_Semple, yes? | 00:03 |
| brjann | sensae: oh, damn, my fault. i meant sudo service gdm stop | 00:03 |
| Loren_Semple | Elrox: I just got back, wondering if that problem got solved where Ubuntu fails to load (see the splash, but after splash computer stops loading screen goes blank and can't do ctrl alt f1) ?? | 00:03 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: I had this problem before. I fixed it by running the proprietary app with gksudo and then saving the settings. it's a permissions thing if i remember | 00:03 |
| === madmax is now known as Guest22138 | ||
| Elrox | Loren_Semple, all i have found is to try sudo update-grub | 00:05 |
| Wubuntu | how do i get this proprietary app? | 00:05 |

| scivi | wubuntu use synapic package manager to install nvidia-settings | 00:05 |
| shannonbrimer | that was odd | 00:06 |
| Wubuntu | i already have the nvidia-settings manager | 00:06 |
| Wubuntu | this card doesn't seem to save the resolution to Xorg | 00:06 |
| scivi | k run it in root mode | 00:06 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: once you are using the proprietoty driver then nvidia-settings should be available | 00:06 |
| iceroot | Wubuntu: that is not part of the card | 00:06 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: that's correct. that's where it was going wrong with me | 00:06 |
| iceroot | Wubuntu: also, on karmic there is not xorg.conf | 00:07 |
| Wubuntu | X11? | 00:07 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: xorg got removed in 9.10 so there was a bit of a workaround to get nvidia-settings to create the corret file | 00:07 |
| lantizia | Hey how do I swap between NTSC/PAL for TV Out? (no theres no proprietary drivers) | 00:08 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: like iceroot said :) | 00:08 |
| DBeets | what replaced xorg.conf? | 00:08 |
| JrodDCx | lantizia: let me guess a ATI card ? | 00:08 |
| lantizia | It detects my TV and I see it in System | Preferences | Display | 00:08 |
| lantizia | JrodDCx, no Intel | 00:08 |
| lantizia | It even sends output to my TV and the Fn+CRT/LCD button works | 00:09 |
| lantizia | But it's sending NTSC instead of PAL | 00:09 |
| brjann | Wubuntu: I don't know if this is your problem, but another user was having similar issues the other day. someone in #gnome told him to mv ~/.configure/monitors.xml ~/.configure/monitors.xml.bak and restart gnome | 00:09 |
| bitfox | hi | 00:10 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: create a blank xorg.conf then the settings can be written in there by the nvidia app. | 00:10 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: there isn't one as default but when there is one it gets read (if i am reading back correctly) | 00:10 |
| lantizia | Is there meant to be a built in option for configuring TV Out? | 00:10 |
| Loren_Semple | Elrox: fixed | 00:11 |
| Loren_Semple | for some reason | 00:11 |

| jcrump40 | Enter text here...anyone here have issues accepting user license when installing world of warcraft? | 00:13 |
| faileas | hmm. if karmic has upstart, why dosen't it have an init dir, and scripts there? | 00:13 |
| bitfox | @garhol: i had a similar problem last week... but xorg.conf file cannot be write by local user... You must be root in order to do that operation | 00:13 |
| bitfox | @garhol: sudo nvidia-settings | 00:14 |
| bitfox | @garhol: ok? | 00:14 |
| cyberbluntz | jcrump40, your going to have to check the technical support at www.worldofwarcraft.com | 00:14 |
| Wubuntu | Karmic 9.10 doesn't use "xorg",...or doesn't have a xorg.config file after installation? | 00:14 |
| bitfox | I have a little problem with notifications icon in karmic | 00:15 |
| Typos_King | Wubuntu: no but you can give it one | 00:15 |
| jcrump40 | thanks for the information | 00:15 |

| JrodDCx | brjann: you love making the bot talk huh ? hahah its fun! | 00:19 |
| bitfox | @Wubuntu: After, I launched my nvidia-settings through sudo, after I selected various options I saved and the nvidia tool create all stuff in xorg.conf | 00:19 |
| compuman | !host | 00:19 |
| bitfox | @Wubuntu: ok? | 00:19 |
| brjann | JrodDCx: no sense in repeating myself, that's what it's for :) | 00:20 |
| Random832 | is there a list of all the things ubottu knows? | 00:20 |
| Elrox | Loren_Semple, i found that updating grub does fix the issue, but does not explain how it got foobar'd in the first place... that would be great info | 00:20 |
| brjann | Random832: yes, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | 00:20 |
| Flynsarmy | Is it possible to see what's inside a .tar.gz file from the terminal window? | 00:20 |
| cyberbluntz | I thought the term was fubar | 00:20 |
| brjann | Flynsarmy: yes, try tar lf <filename> | 00:21 |
| cyberbluntz | effed up beyond all recognition | 00:21 |
| garhol | bitfox: sorry, missed that message. yeah, sudo nvidia-settings once the blank xorg is there and it should drop in the correct info | 00:22 |
| Flynsarmy | brjann, tar: Semantics of -l option will change in the future releases. Please use --one-file-system option instead. You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options | 00:22 |
| cyberbluntz | umm no | 00:22 |
| iceroot | !gksudo | 00:22 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 00:22 |
| cyberbluntz | gksudo * | 00:22 |
| eXe__^ | whats the first 5 steps to install ubuntu in textmode? | 00:22 |
| Wubuntu | does it make a difference whether you open the nvidia settings manager through terminal(sud) or opening the program through system, etc? | 00:22 |
| bitfox | why does notifications pop-up appear under the right corner under the watch with any blank space? | 00:22 |

| adamf | hey, everyone. been a while since i last used ubuntu. i'm thinking about putting it on my old laptop (hp pavillion with an ati video card), dual booted with windows 7. is this pretty easy to do? | 00:25 |
| arf` | here the problem: with xubuntu hardy on a dell laptop with fglrx driver and 2.6.32 kernel, the monitor's power saving doesn't work anymore after a while | 00:25 |
| cyberbluntz | I dont think there is supposed to be a difference between running the gksudo at the terminal or running the xserver? | 00:25 |
| brjann | bitfox, Wubuntu: if you're launching a graphical program, you should really use gksu | 00:26 |
| garhol | Wubuntu: as bitfox says. i don't rightly remember how i got mine to stay there but I think I used gksudo the first time. | 00:26 |
| GeekSquid | cyberbluntz: there is ... read the psychocats link I gave you | 00:26 |
| bitfox | @Wubuntu: I tried to launch it as normal user from system panel-> admin... but nvidia-setting was not able to save configuration in xorg.conf | 00:26 |

| Wubuntu | thanks to all of you for your help | 00:32 |
| Typos_King | danny_ if you're just looking for a quickie.... try maybe 'qps' is a visual process manager, and you can sort by clicking on the provided colunmn tab | 00:32 |
| sensae | Looks like the superblock for the partition is gone - how do I repair the superblock without losing the partition? | 00:32 |
| JrodDCx | parolang: 9.10 is a bit diffrent then debian stable i think | 00:32 |

| mylisto2 | maybe? | 00:41 |

| dexley | :( | 00:45 |
| mylisto2 | jengleur: just stay in this channel, I'm sure someone can help you | 00:46 |
| brjann | hipitihop: if your router doesn't forward your ssh port, ssh isn't accessible from outside your LAN | 00:46 |
| NewWorld | dexley: Try to play an ogg video file, they are natively supported. See if it works; that will give us some useful info to work on. | 00:46 |
| archboxman | Jeangleur: that may not work in this kernel version when it says floating point fails ... it will not install because it was not meant for this kernel.. | 00:46 |

| shadows090 | is anyone familiar with java? I'm trying to run a very simple "hello world" and am getting a weird error | 00:46 |
| hipitihop | brjann, indeed.... any other precautions I should take since those ports are technically open ? | 00:46 |
| Jeangleur | archboxman: so what can I do? | 00:47 |
| NewWorld | shadows090: ubuntu related? | 00:47 |

| zenwryly | err | 00:48 |
| zenwryly | Is there a way to configure karmic to keep building packages for Python 2.4? | 00:49 |
| brjann | hipitihop: if your voip application is running, those ports will connect to it. if the voip application isn't running, those ports will appear closed. so you should be fine | 00:49 |
| NewWorld | danny_: the command ps can sort by CPU usage | 00:49 |
| archboxman | Jeangleur: most of the logistic Camereas need the drive compiled they don't make a debian driver.... | 00:49 |

| Jeangleur | archboxman: how can I compile it? | 00:50 |
| hipitihop | brjann, thanks.... so really the only thing I should consider is I am also running a wireless network here and booth wired machines and wirless machines are on same network (arguably should have seperate but a bit hard at the moment) , so I should probably restrict which machines are allowed to log into others | 00:50 |
| archboxman | Jeangleur: yes you need to try to backport the camera.... | 00:51 |
| Jeangleur | archboxman: how is that? | 00:51 |
| shadows090 | NewWorld, the confusion is that i cannot run it when i'm in the directory. only when i'm in another directory. | 00:51 |

| brjann | hipitihop: you could lock ssh down further if you wanted to. you might take a look at tcpwrappers: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/09/02/network-security-with-tcpwrappers-hostsallow-and-hostsdeny/ | 00:52 |
| NewWorld | dexley: Is there anything you changed recently that you think could have affected this? | 00:53 |
| shadows090 | manas: you could run reinstall via synaptics packet manager under system. i know it sounds like an extra step but it works for me | 00:53 |
| Jeangleur | archboxman:hey, I am on this since ten hours (no kidding) of course it does find it | 00:53 |

| LavaEagle | shadows090: this script only applies to Ubuntu 6.06 x86 32 bit platforms. | 01:21 |
| Dr_Willis | LavaEagle: if its a 32bit program.. then you are stuck. | 01:21 |
| LavaEagle | that means it's my script right? | 01:22 |
| ARC0112358 | All I am trying to do is auitomate unison or something and want to avoid passwords | 01:22 |
| NitaiPal | LavaEagle, is that enough to install a new version of ubutnutu 32 bit with no problems | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | LavaEagle: the installer works only on 32bit sustems it seems | 01:22 |
| histo | ARC0112358: that page should explain from ubottu | 01:22 |
| aKoN-MaN | rootfs 5.0G 5.0G 0 100% / | 01:22 |
| aKoN-MaN | how do i fix this? | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Many programs have 32 and 64bit versions these days | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: you can use ia32libs but you will need to manually put 32bit libs in the lib32 folder | 01:22 |
| NewWorld | dexley: I don't see how :/ You still can't use the other playback engines :( | 01:22 |
| mattgyver | !lucid | 01:22 |
| ubottu | Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 01:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: sudo apt-get clean | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | aKoN-MaN: Delete stuff you dont need. 5gb for / is rather small. | 01:23 |
| histo | ARC0112358: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys | 01:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: uninstall unnecessary kernels too | 01:23 |
| LavaEagle | NitaiPal: Yeah that will be fien | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | aKoN-MaN: 'sudo apt-get autoremove ' may free up some space also | 01:23 |
| LavaEagle | as a temp install | 01:23 |
| dexley | NewWorld:but for now i can use caffeine to watch my movie! i will try to fixe the other engines next time or re-install them again! | 01:23 |
| aKoN-MaN | 0 removed lol | 01:24 |
| tarehart | hey, I've got a jitter problem with my touchpad | 01:24 |
| dexley | Kaffeine* | 01:24 |
| arand | aKoN-MaN: also uninstalling old kernels (make sure they're not the one's in use!) might free some space. | 01:24 |
| m0in | histo: look at the pm i send you | 01:24 |
| tarehart | can anybody help me out? | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man; once you get some free space install bleachbit | 01:24 |
| LavaEagle | !help | tarehart | 01:24 |
| ubottu | tarehart: 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. :-) | 01:24 |
| ARC0112358 | thanks | 01:24 |
| aKoN-MaN | what will that do? | 01:24 |
| LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: if you can reference a tutorial that would be nice, but I am googling that right now | 01:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: bleachbit can free space from caches and temp files | 01:24 |
| n4cht | can i ask you guys a question? | 01:25 |
| * n4cht grins. | 01:25 | |
| m0in | histo: i am looking for a theme-like customization | 01:25 |
| shadows090 | lol | 01:25 |
| LavaEagle | Hahah | 01:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: tutorial for what? | 01:25 |
| xguru | n4cht: just ask | 01:25 |
| NitaiPal | LavaEagle, the main reason i'm doing this is because my cpu Fan is too loud | 01:25 |
| LavaEagle | Installing the 32lib | 01:25 |
| m0in | histo: or revert it to orig. screen | 01:25 |
| histo | m0in: yeah thats in there. | 01:25 |
| aKoN-MaN | sweet | 01:25 |
| aKoN-MaN | ty | 01:25 |
| LavaEagle | NitaiPal: what about the other problems you were experiencing? i was recently on it that very OS and didn't have any trouble | 01:26 |
| NitaiPal | LavaEagle, i have a inspiron 530 | 01:26 |
| n4cht | i'm getting a new cpu fan/heatsink combo that looks like a wicked turbine, once i buy my danger den torture bench. | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: you will install the app. When it moans about deps you will need to download the 32bit deb, extract it, then place the .so file in /usr/lib32 | 01:26 |
| histo | m0in: you can get new themes from gnome-look.org as well | 01:26 |
| NitaiPal | LavaEagle, youtube works on and off and i have to somestimes switch between browsers and stuff | 01:26 |
| garhol | tarehart: what is the problem with jitter? | 01:26 |
| m0in | histo: thanks, i will look | 01:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: uname -a ,will show the running kernel | 01:26 |
| Dr_Willis | m0in: for the gdm in 9.10 theres a tool called Epidermis that can install alternative themes for it. Also some tools I got listed at http://delicious.com/dr_willis/gdm2 (i think) | 01:26 |
| Red_HamsterX | n4cht, Zalmans are nice, but what's that got to do with Ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| newclimb | there is anyway to work with touchscreen in a laptop toshiba running ubuntu | 01:27 |
| tarehart | the cursor shakes a few pixels back and forth when my finger is still | 01:27 |
| === AllHail is now known as AllHailTheGeek | ||
| n4cht | Red_HamsterX: NitaiPal was talking about having a cpu fan that's too loud. | 01:27 |
| histo | LavaEagle: NitaiPal they have 64bit flash now if thats what you guys are talking about. | 01:27 |
| Dr_Willis | newclimb: ive seen linux laptops with touchscreens befor. But never owned one. | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: dpkg -l | grep linux-image ,will list the installed kernels. Remove the ones that AREN'T the one you are running | 01:27 |
| LavaEagle | NitaiPal: histo is right | 01:27 |
| histo | newclimb: shouldn't matter what type of computer the touchscreen is on | 01:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove ,to remove the modules and fluff | 01:28 |
| tarehart | I found a website that suggested that the driver might not be averaging the input like it should | 01:28 |
| n4cht | Red_HamsterX: also... i didn't realize this isn't OT... lol. new irssi theme and i forgot to add channel name to statusbar. | 01:28 |
| LavaEagle | NitaiPal: but if your cpu is unable to handle the OS definately drop down and you have a far better time. | 01:28 |
| histo | LavaEagle: NitaiPal I've run 64bit for a long time everything works in it that I've ever used. | 01:28 |
| n4cht | i thought there was an awful lot of unfamiliar nicks. lol | 01:28 |
| newclimb | histo: toshiba satelite u505 | 01:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Akon-man: you can also use deborphan to remove orphaned packages to gain more space | 01:28 |
| histo | NitaiPal: What are you trying to do? | 01:28 |
| LavaEagle | histo: He is on an Inprion 540 | 01:28 |
| aKoN-MaN | ok will give will try it out tyvm | 01:28 |
| histo | LavaEagle: and what was the question? | 01:28 |
| Scunizi | I have a xbox 360 dvd in my drive.. and can't mount it even with sudo mount /dev/dvdrw /media/cdrom0 .. How do I do this? | 01:29 |
| histo | newclimb: let me check something | 01:29 |
| garhol | tarehart: weird. no movement when your not holding a finger on the pad? | 01:29 |
| tarehart | garhol: that's correct | 01:29 |
| LavaEagle | histo: He wants to go from 64 bit Karmic to 32bitKarmic and backup 50 gigs with out an external drive | 01:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Should have a backup anyway | 01:30 |
| histo | NitaiPal: I would create a seperate home partition. Like I explained. Why would you switch from 64bit to 32bit? | 01:30 |
| ActionParsnip | No backup == data is disposable | 01:30 |
| tarehart | garhol: and it was fine on 8.04 and windows 7 | 01:30 |
| NitaiPal | histo, im kinda fed up with 64 bit, about havin to do extra and not having everything working right away... n my CPU fan is always whirring ... even tho my system is pretty new and decent ... Dell inspiron 530 ... so im trynna sorta "downgrade" to 32 bit so as to not have to worry about things not working and stuff | 01:30 |
| histo | newclimb: should be recognized by usbtouchscreen at the kernel level | 01:30 |
| newclimb | histo: how can i do that? | 01:31 |
| LavaEagle | I feel dumb i thought that was an intel processor for some reason | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive cant think of any issues ive had with 64bit on my 3 mahines ive been using it on for the last 2+ yers | 01:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: check acpi settings etc. 100% works here for 64bit | 01:31 |
| claptrap | Dr_Willis: Same. | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | ive had MUCH more issues with 'brand new just came out' laptops .. :) | 01:31 |
| claptrap | Only problem I ever had was 64-bit Flashplayer. | 01:31 |
| garhol | tarehart: thinking, the synaptics touchpad stuff was listed in xorg.conf before but that is gone in 9.10 gimme a mo to look about | 01:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: tried the 64bit native flash? | 01:32 |
| histo | NitaiPal: your not really downgrading | 01:32 |
| Dr_Willis | linux disrtos seem to take a few months to catch up to the new things in new laptops | 01:32 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Yeah, that's the one that gave me problems. | 01:32 |
| tarehart | garhol: ok, thanks | 01:32 |
| histo | newclimb: let me do some more reading hold up | 01:32 |
| garhol | tarehart: out of interest, what make of system is it? | 01:32 |
| newclimb | histo: all right thanks | 01:32 |
| tarehart | asus | 01:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: strange works great here. Different systems I guess | 01:33 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Well, it works as far as Flash games themselves are concerned. The issues were with a specific site (Kongregate.com) | 01:33 |
| histo | newclimb: its a built in touchscreen? | 01:33 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: It uses a seperate domain server for Chat and website achivements, and for whatever reason, 64 bit flash didn't like to communicate with the java applets. | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: I play cyclomaniac on there. I use flashblock in chromium daily and block all flash except the game | 01:34 |
| histo | newclimb: I see there are fan issues with your laptop in ubuntu | 01:34 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Really now. | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: totally | 01:34 |
| histo | newclimb: but i'm not seeing anything regarding a touchscreen on that model | 01:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: also 64bit java using the file at www.java.com | 01:35 |
| NitaiPal | histo, what are the major differences between 64 bit and 32 bit anywyas | 01:35 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: That's... interesting. :E I tried Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Seamonkey to no avail. | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: nspluginwrapper sucks for me | 01:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: I use chromium from the daily build ppa | 01:35 |
| histo | !64bit | NitaiPal | 01:35 |
| ubottu | NitaiPal: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 01:35 |
| NewWorld | NitaiPal: Compatibility. Some things don't work on 64 bit that do on 32 bit. 32bit is more compatible and better supported. | 01:35 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: D'you think I need 64 bit on both sides for it to work correctly, then? | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I can only think of One app thats not on 64bit thats on 32. that i would use. :) | 01:36 |
| syn-ack | claptrap: nope | 01:36 |
| NitaiPal | so why 64 bit NewWorld ? no reason to right? | 01:36 |
| garhol | tarehart: sudo apt-get install gsynaptics then turn down the minspead in there to slow. that should fix it | 01:36 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Also, are youh having issues with flickering? | 01:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: nspluginwrapper should handle it | 01:36 |
| Dr_Willis | 64bit is faster in a great many tasks. and improveing all the time | 01:37 |
| garhol | tarehart: sorry, should be minspeed | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: not here | 01:37 |
| NewWorld | NitaiPal: Some argue it's faster at certain tasks, like the professional kind - video editing, number crunching,etc. | 01:37 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: You on Karmic? | 01:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: lucid a3 but was identical in karmic | 01:37 |
| Dr_Willis | Given the CPU load just to play back some videos with some codecs.. its getting more and more noticeable | 01:37 |
| tarehart | garhol: that worked, thanks! | 01:37 |
| NitaiPal | NewWorld, nothing to do with better graphics and such right? | 01:37 |
| syn-ack | NewWorld: that's because under the right circumstances is is faster | 01:37 |
| devdz | hello im new with linux.. which commands to use to know which computers are interacting with any wireless | 01:37 |
| GoSox | i'm using KDE, how can i find out how much RAM a system has installed? | 01:37 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Well, my bit of Googling has said it's been fixed in Lucid. I'm not comfortable enough to touch an alpha, though. :< | 01:38 |
| LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: I'm not even able to install it so it can wine about reps. If I found the source and compiled it? | 01:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Devdz: your router will tell you | 01:38 |
| garhol | tarehart: splendid :) have fun | 01:38 |
| NewWorld | NitaiPal: I'm not sure about that sorry. | 01:38 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: the main reason you'd want to use 64 bit over 32 imo is because it natively handles more than 4 gigs of ram | 01:38 |
| tarehart | and wow, xorg.conf is really minimal these days | 01:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tarehart: some of my systems have no xorg.conf | 01:38 |
| syn-ack | tarehart: Dbus FTW | 01:38 |
| garhol | tarehart: yup, been a few people on tonight with nvidia issues andthe lack of xorg has thrown them a bit | 01:39 |
| syn-ack | yeah, my systems don't have configs either | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | lavaeagle: you will need to force install it. If you have ia32-libs installed it will run | 01:39 |
| Dr_Willis | NitaiPal: theres benchmarks on 64 vs 32 - dpending on what you do - you may want 64. I use 64 on all my machines | 01:39 |
| administrator_ | help | 01:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: is there not a ppa with a 64bit build? | 01:39 |
| NitaiPal | Dr_Willis, i just do simple browsing and watching movies and such ... which is better for me? | 01:40 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: in your case probably 32 bit | 01:40 |
| NewWorld | NitaiPal: I'd say definetly 32bit, don't hassle yourself with 64 | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | NitaiPal: some video codecs these days can really suck down the cpu. | 01:40 |
| NitaiPal | Dr_Willis, so 32 bit wud b better for my CPU? | 01:40 |
| Dr_Willis | NitaiPal: if you got more then 4 gb ram - GO 64 - if You do video reencoding go 64.. | 01:40 |
| syn-ack | exactly | 01:41 |
| LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: No this seems to be 32bit only | 01:41 |
| Dr_Willis | If you got a low end cpu/system that can do 64 and watch HD movies.. well it may be a benifit also | 01:41 |
| syn-ack | oh yeah | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: you can use pae in 32bit if you have more than 4gb ram | 01:41 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip: pae sucks, compared to native handling | 01:41 |
| syn-ack | seriously | 01:41 |
| devdz | okay what are the main commands to communicate with a router please i mean to know what the router is doing in a moment | 01:41 |
| NitaiPal | ActionParsnip, whats pae? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: have you checked the ppa seach? | 01:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: it breaks the ram up to allow the kernel to access more ram | 01:42 |
| LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: how would I go about doing that? Software/Synaptic ? | 01:42 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip: Honestly dude, imo its merely an ugly hack | 01:42 |
| LavaEagle | manager* | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !pae | nitaipal | 01:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Syn-ack: it works though | 01:42 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip: if you have the resources to do native 64 bit addressing it's better to just do that instead of using a hack | 01:43 |
| syn-ack | again, imo | 01:43 |
| claptrap | This is why I lurk in here. | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Syn-ack: true but if 32bit is advantageous to the user otherwise then pae is fine | 01:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Imho | 01:44 |
| syn-ack | yeah | 01:44 |
| NitaiPal | is there a command to find out all the specs of my comp | 01:44 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 01:44 |
| histo | NitaiPal: lshw | 01:44 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: lshw, lspci etc | 01:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: lspci; cat /proc/cpuinfo | tail -n 20 | grep model | 01:45 |
| ActionParsnip | nitaipal: works for single core :) | 01:45 |
| LavaEagle | How do I install ia32-libs on i686? | 01:46 |
| histo | LavaEagle: you don't have to | 01:46 |
| histo | LavaEagle: and i don't think its availbilbe | 01:46 |
| NitaiPal | whats a command that will tell me my harddrive size ram and such | 01:46 |
| syn-ack | its not | 01:46 |

| Puffin | xx1234 was a short visitor! | 01:51 |
| NitaiPal | heres my specs, please tell me which would be better for me 64 bit or 32 bit ... i only do some minimal computer stuff ... watch movies, browsing, youtube ... i want the least hassle free and compatible computer so i can easily do things ... ALSO its important for me to have a quiet cpu fan cuz my one is extra loud on this 64bit system | 01:51 |

| ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: its not an official canonical release so is not officially supported in the official channel | 01:53 |
| Dr_Willis | LavaEagle: just beause its ubuntu 'based' dosent mean we have the manpower tu support it. expecially when the variants got their own support channels | 01:53 |
| adrian26 | I've a problem, when I open the program I've an error | 01:53 |

| NitaiPal | heres my specs, please tell me which would be better for me 64 bit or 32 bit ... i only do some minimal computer stuff ... watch movies, browsing, youtube ... i want the least hassle free and compatible computer so i can easily do things ... ALSO its important for me to have a quiet cpu fan cuz my one is extra loud on this 64bit system heres my specs and such http://pastebin.com/01AK2nrd | 01:57 |
| Puffin | NitaiPal, 32 bit | 01:57 |

| adrian26 | Have problems with my tv card | 01:57 |
| syn-ack | Dr_Willis: sadly enough. :/ | 01:57 |
| Dr_Willis | NitaiPal: if you got more then 4 gb ram - go 64 - otherwise if you dont do much. go 32 if you want. I always go 64 and rarely have any issues | 01:58 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: that's really not a bad system | 01:58 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont see how 'fan speed' is going to be related to the 64/32 bits | 01:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: i'd go 32bit. If all you want is web and chat. 64bit will allow you easier expansion | 01:58 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: I agree with everything Willis just told you | 01:58 |
| syn-ack | and ActionParsnip for that matter | 01:58 |

| ActionParsnip | Kerebrus: hostname | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kerebrus: you mean for the samba shares? | 02:00 |
| kerebrus | yes for samba shares | 02:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: I always use amd as coolnquiet is great in the kernel :) | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kerebrus: its the hostname. unless you chnge it in the smb.conf | 02:00 |
| Dr_Willis | kerebrus: try out the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands | 02:00 |
| syn-ack | God I love Pandora | 02:01 |
| Dr_Willis | kerebrus: also depending on the network setup you might NOT beable to access the machine via name. it may need ip#'s | 02:01 |
| NitaiPal | ActionParsnip, can u explain what u just said ... 64 bit is better for my cpu fan? | 02:01 |
| syn-ack | NitaiPal: irrelevant | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: the number of bits is moot. You need to find guides relating to your system model to see if anyone has found a way to control the fan speed | 02:02 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip: it most certainly does. | 02:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Syn-ack: how so? | 02:03 |
| Dr_Willis | If the fan is not spported in teh bios/kernel - then the 64/32 dont matter at all. | 02:03 |
| syn-ack | it's more than likely as simple as redirecting something to /proc even | 02:03 |
| syn-ack | ActionParsnip: I was referring to fan control | 02:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Syn-ack: yes but 32bit/64bit doesn't matter which is what I'm getting at | 02:03 |
| syn-ack | And I agreed | 02:03 |

| lozano | bye fuckerz | 02:31 |
| stooj | I've been given a machine, but Ubuntu doesn't recognise the ethernet card. It doesn't show up in lspci either. Can anyone tell me what my next step is? (Short of buying a new NIC)? | 02:31 |
| brjann | !es | sergio | 02:31 |
| ubottu | sergio: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 02:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Cyberbluntz: its used to call ops if someone is trolling | 02:33 |
| dsnyders | cyberbluntz, IRC channels have people monitoring the chat to make sure people are not spamming, or cursing, or acting against the rules. When these people are away, they can be summoned. | 02:33 |
| histo | ricree: It may be a dependancy issue that is causing the bug | 02:33 |
| stooj | blakkheim: Might end up doing so. It is a work machine, so this is just temporary. | 02:34 |

| histo | ricree: what program is it? | 02:34 |

| veebull | I can see it, but I can't get to it. | 02:34 |
| histo | veebull: permissions? | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Riceree: i'd say so. You could download the deb from a ppa with an older version. Uninstall the current then install using the deb then pin the version so it doesn't get upgraded | 02:35 |
| tzeentch | histo : folder is 755, .gconf is 700. Should it be otherwise? | 02:35 |

| BayArea | would anyone be willing to help a newb understand why the Intel PRO1000 card shows up on lspci, but cant connect to the internet? | 02:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: true depends what's installed. Can you advise the guy/gal | 02:36 |
| brjann | tzeentch: my .gconf directory is 700, and gnome is working correctly for me | 02:36 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: what does lsmod tell you? | 02:36 |
| BayArea | syn: let me take a look | 02:36 |
| Blue1 | ActionParsnip: i can try...I just got here so someone fill me in a bit please? | 02:36 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: you should see the iw2000 driver installed into the kernel | 02:36 |
| syn-ack | I think it's the iw2000 | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bayarea: if you set an ip and gateway and dns servers does it work? | 02:36 |
| histo | tzeentch: .gconf should be 700 thats not it then | 02:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue1: user wants an older version than is availa ble on the repos | 02:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Tzeentch: check you are the owner too | 02:37 |
| magn3ts | This is ridiculous. I disable my touchpad in gsynaptics and Ubuntu turns it back on 30 seconds later. Ubuntu can't remember my X11 cursor for more than 30 minutes, god forbid I reboot. | 02:37 |
| Blue1 | ActionParsnip: example of backporting: http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=152 | 02:38 |
| BayArea | syn-ack: lsmod "e1000 119264 0" | 02:38 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: ah yeah, good good | 02:38 |
| tzeentch | ActionParsnip : Yep, I am. | 02:38 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: refer to what ActionParsnip said | 02:38 |
| Nolan2 | Hey, I just installed ubuntu, but now my windows isn't loading, I think it may have something to do with GRUB, but I'm not sure... Any suggestions? | 02:38 |
| histo | tzeentch: ActionParsnip thats wierd | 02:38 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | nolann2 | 02:38 |
| ubottu | nolann2: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: synaptics drivers and X have been 'a work in progress' for a while. Im suprised that gsynaptics even works. | 02:39 |
| stooj | OK. Will let you know, ActionParsnip | 02:39 |
| stooj | Cheers | 02:39 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, gsynaptics has been around for years though. I remember it being around in 8.04 | 02:39 |
| magn3ts | >_< | 02:39 |
| syn-ack | magn3ts: there have been a lot of subsystem changes since then its really been hit and miss | 02:39 |
| BayArea | syn-ack: ok. i'm not sure what those value are. this is going directly to my cable modem (via DHCP from comcast) | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: yes.. and X has been dojng a lot of Input devices changes in the last year or so. that required the gsynaptics tools and other similer tools to do things differntly | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: did you cycle the modem? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: i recall some docs/articals on it at the gsynaptics homepage | 02:40 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | Any idea on how to change the port number in 9.10 ? | 02:40 |
| cyberbluntz | ffs | 02:40 |
| BayArea | syn-ack: works fine when I plug the cable into my mac (this computer) | 02:40 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | for remote desktop** | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: it could be that the modem is still learned to the old MAC | 02:40 |
| tzeentch | histo : Yes it is. Could it be because I screwed up /etc/gdm/Init/Default ? | 02:40 |
| magn3ts | Gah, someday when I'm not writing this J2EE crap I'm going to patch gnome-mouse-preferences so that it has the options that gsynpatics has | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | BayArea: thats why, plug it into the other computer and cycle the modem | 02:40 |
| histo | tzeentch: the other directory to check is .gnome | 02:41 |
| BayArea | syn-ack: ok, gunna log me off then. thanks for your help, mate! you too ActionParsnip | 02:41 |
| histo | tzeentch: you can try using gnome-session-save to save settings | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: i was thiniing at one time gsynaptics was going to be discontinued. i think some variants on it have died off. But i dont use it any more sohavent paied attention to it | 02:41 |
| histo | tzeentch: perhaps its a problem with that being called | 02:42 |
| tzeentch | histo : I don't have a .gnome. I got a .gnome2 and a .gnome2_private which are 700 and which I own. | 02:42 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, thats a shame. 9.10 has been very disappointing in a lot of ways. as I mentioned, X11 refuses to use my cursor theme, I can't even make it show up in gnome-appearance-preferences. I can't configure GDM, there are less screensavers that I still can not configure, etc. very frustrating. | 02:42 |
| histo | tzeentch: try changing settings and running gnome-session-save in terminal then log out and back in see if that works | 02:42 |
| syn-ack | magn3ts: all politics aside, I wasnt impressed with 9.10. 10.04 will be different story though | 02:43 |
| histo | tzeentch: actually disregard that | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: dont blame 9.10 for changes made by the X devs - and the gnome devs.. screensavers have been a point of argument for ages. again thats GNOME devs stuff.. | 02:43 |
| Evet | i have deleted /etc/apache2 folder, now apache2 package cannot be installed properly. how to solve this? | 02:43 |

| Nolan2 | :/ That link didn't really help me. | 02:44 |

| Unstable | Hey guys, perl question here, if im not in the right place just point me the way, but when i try to install a package to perl from CPAN it said "returned status 512, wont make" any suggestions? | 02:44 |
| histo | Unstable: I would ask the packager | 02:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Unstable: or #perl | 02:45 |
| magn3ts | syn-ack, Dr_Willis, you're right. I say 9.10 and I know that a lot of that has to do with GNOME. Ugh. I just can't stand QT and the same problems I have with how GNOME is configured are the problems I have with KDE | 02:45 |
| magn3ts | Oh well. | 02:45 |
| histo | tzeentch: there is #gnome also | 02:45 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: wait for gnome-3 people will go berzerke | 02:45 |
| Unstable | The packager? | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: when is it due? | 02:46 |
| Unstable | And thanks for direction to #perl | 02:46 |
| histo | Dr_Willis: Are they going to do the panels thing? | 02:46 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, I still want to see a new DE rise up that integrates well with compiz by default, etc. | 02:46 |
| histo | Dr_Willis: that will really freak people out | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ActionParsnip: gnome-3 is still in the whiteboard stage. :) | 02:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: nice | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: compiz will be dead in a few years i imagine. | 02:46 |
| histo | Gnome doesn't change very much | 02:46 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, uh why do you say that? | 02:46 |
| histo | X will obsorb compiz | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: with some hope :) | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | magn3ts: the fetures it does are gettting assemliated | 02:47 |
| tzeentch | histo : One example is the System->preferences->apperance->Visual Effects I got to re-enable it every time I log on. | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Emerald is allready basicaly dead | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, into...? the DE itself? Quite frankly, I don't want ot see the flexibilty I have with compiz gnome-ified. | 02:47 |
| syn-ack | yeah | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tzeentch: i always use the fusion-icon tool - it seems to smooth out some quiks like that | 02:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Tzeentch: add the command in startup items | 02:47 |
| histo | magn3ts: you will always have flexibility in linux even if its inegrated | 02:47 |
| magn3ts | tzeentch, I will second what Dr_Willis just said. | 02:48 |
| Nolan2 | So, can anyone help...? | 02:48 |
| histo | magn3ts: thats one of the problems there are 99 ways to do one given task | 02:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Nolan2: sup | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | histo, yeah but I know that the simple but powerful GUI for compiz now would be obliterated if put into GNOME core | 02:48 |
| magn3ts | :[ | 02:48 |
| * ActionParsnip prefers openbox to compiz | 02:49 | |
| Dr_Willis | Simple GUI for compiz? what one are you refering to? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 02:49 |
| syn-ack | magn3ts: I'm one of the anti-gnome-3ers out there and I'm already migrating all my systems over to XFCE | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres the idiot-friendly one and the nightmarish one... | 02:49 |
| Nolan2 | Oh, that link you gave me up there didn't really help ActionParsnip. | 02:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Nolan2: what is your issue? | 02:49 |
| magn3ts | Dr_Willis, well maybe simple wasn't the right word, but coherent at least. I think its pretty standard how things are done but its still very very configurable | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | I think compiz needs a tool to print out all the keybindings that are in USE for a given setup. :) | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | but theres only like 4 features i use in compiz | 02:50 |
| parolang | syn-ack: stumpwm :) | 02:51 |
| claybustr | How can I reset my alsa configs to an out of the box ubuntu clean install config? | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Flwm! | 02:51 |
| syn-ack | parolang: I'm partial to GTk | 02:51 |
| syn-ack | :p | 02:51 |
| Nolan3 | crap. lol | 02:51 |
| Nolan3 | As I was saying.. | 02:51 |
| === techhelper1 is now known as Craighton | ||
| soreau | Dr_Willis: With ccsm's advanced search feature, you can press a keybinding and see if it's assigned to any plugin | 02:51 |

| Nolan3 | [21:50] <Nolan2> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and when I try to dual boot into windows, it doesn't do anything. | 02:51 |
| Nolan3 | [21:50] <Nolan2> It just displays a blinking - | 02:51 |
| parolang | syn-ack: GTK is a widget toolkit. Stumpwm is a window manager. You can (and do) use both :) | 02:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Claybustr: rename or delete the .gnome .gnome2 etc folders in $HOME. You will need to do the same to $HOME/.config | 02:52 |
| syn-ack | parolang: I'm aware of that. but I like the integration of which is provided in Gnome and XFCE. ;) | 02:52 |

| SaratogaCx | Hi, I have a problem with Wireless.. My machine used to work and at some point it stopped getting a dhcp address from my router. I can see my router other computers can connect to it (android phone, windows pc etc.) w/out issue but dhclient commands try and fail. Any ideas where I can start looking to fix this? | 02:52 |
| Nolan3 | did ya see that ActionParsnip? | 02:52 |
| parolang | syn-ack: kay :) | 02:52 |
| claybustr | will that also get rid of the stuck phantom gnome-display-properties in the notification area? | 02:53 |
| syn-ack | parolang: imo it give a much more integrated look over running something like OpenBox then gtk apps on top, etc | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Nolan3: rename xorg.conf if you have one. Also run: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:53 |
| cyberbluntz | try booting to your windows recovery console and fixmbr | 02:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Nolan3: use root recovery console | 02:53 |
| parolang | Anyway, what I came here to ask is...I set the option to decrypt my home partition when I log in on the install. This won't give me any problems, will it? What is the program it uses for encryption? | 02:53 |
| Nolan3 | Uhh.. Where is that? | 02:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Nolan3: hold shift at boot, you will see grub menu. Choose the recovery mode then root | 02:54 |
| parolang | syn-ack: What window manager do you run with xfce? | 02:54 |
| cyberbluntz | actually, just say screw windows and just use linux | 02:54 |
| cyberbluntz | :D | 02:55 |
| syn-ack | parolang: compiz or xfwm | 02:55 |
| Nolan3 | >.> I've never heard that one before cyb3r3li0g | 02:55 |
| parolang | syn-ack: Oh...didn't know about xfwm. | 02:55 |
| parolang | syn-ack: I stay away from compiz :) | 02:55 |
| stooj | ActionParsnip: Bah. It was disabled - someone else in the office disabled it when trying to fix windows. Thanks for the help anyway :) | 02:55 |
| syn-ack | xfwm is the default window manager for XFCE | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Parolang: me too | 02:55 |
| Nolan3 | okay, I'll try that now ActionParsnip. | 02:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Stooj: d'oh | 02:55 |

| histo | magn3ts: you don't need compiz for mutiple workspaces | 02:57 |
| magn3ts | plus I really love expo and scale, way better and faster than alt+tab (though alt-tabbing is even better in compiz) | 02:57 |

| ubottu | harisund: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 03:00 |

| cyberbluntz | Mulevad: Click system / administration / hardware drivers | 03:13 |
| Mulevad | I was hoping this would be easier... Thanks ubottu. I've tried system administration->etc. 800x600 is the best option | 03:13 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | Nolan3 | 03:14 |
| ubottu | Nolan3: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 03:14 |

| GeekSquid | !hi | surjya yxmn2 | 03:14 |
| ubottu | surjya yxmn2: 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! | 03:14 |
| surjya | i am running ubuntu netbook remix from usb on my netbook | 03:14 |
| Nolan3 | :( | 03:14 |
| Nolan3 | Damn | 03:14 |
| ssmy | Mulevad: the problem is that your card is so old support is going away. Should work with some experimentation though. | 03:14 |
| surjya | but the touchscreen not working | 03:14 |
| surjya | can anybody help | 03:14 |
| kinja-sheep | I'm forgetting how to outpipe the list of files into gedit or such. What was it again? :\ | 03:14 |
| ssmy | surjya: touchscreen? what make/model is it? | 03:15 |
| GeekSquid | surjya: which netbook? | 03:15 |
| surjya | ASUS EeePC T91 | 03:15 |
| surjya | with intel atom processor | 03:15 |
| parolang | Ah...HD crash :( | 03:15 |
| surjya | HD crash? | 03:16 |
| parolang | yep | 03:16 |
| parolang | It was an old HD :) | 03:16 |
| fenix | yes | 03:16 |
| surjya | what is HD? | 03:16 |
| parolang | hard disk | 03:16 |
| surjya | i m running from USB drive | 03:16 |
| kinja-sheep | High Definition! | 03:16 |
| surjya | not installed till now | 03:16 |
| surjya | on my HD | 03:17 |
| fivetwentysix | My lan just stopped working. It just keeps trying to connect to the internet but does nothing. | 03:17 |
| parolang | surge_: It's better running native :) | 03:17 |
| fivetwentysix | What log should i look at to get more information? | 03:17 |
| yxmn2 | surjya, Hand Dilation | 03:17 |
| surjya | enough for HD | 03:17 |
| Mulevad | Sorry I think I closed some conversations. I didn't realize. | 03:17 |
| ssmy | surjya: would appear to be answered here http://setupguides.blogspot.com/2009/11/touchscreen.html | 03:17 |
| surjya | is there any IRC channel? | 03:18 |
| surjya | for UNR? | 03:18 |
| ssmy | surjya: mostly just here, UNR is really just ubuntu with a slightly different setup | 03:18 |
| surjya | but if its netbook version there should be touchscreen driver | 03:19 |
| brjann | kinja-sheep: gedit can't actually read from pipes anymore | 03:19 |
| Lenin_Cat | uh-oh | 03:20 |
| surjya | how somebody can imagine netbooks without touchscreen? | 03:20 |
| Lenin_Cat | s | 03:20 |
| fivetwentysix | My internet stopped working, it's connected through a wire to a router, nothing has changed since yesterday as far as I know, it just doesn't work anymore. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue? | 03:20 |
| Lenin_Cat | sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working | 03:20 |
| kinja-sheep | brjann: Just tried it. It worked. I remember it now though. :) | 03:21 |
| brjann | kinja-sheep: really? what did you do? there's a long-standing bug in launchpad re: gedit's inability to read from pipes | 03:21 |
| Nolan3 | Hey, I just installed Ubuntu, but now it's not letting be boot into windows. It shows the Windows selection, but when I try to select it it just Gives me a blinking _ | 03:22 |
| Nolan3 | And suggestions? | 03:22 |
| Nolan3 | Any* | 03:22 |
| kinja-sheep | brjann: grep or whatever (to get a list of files) | xargs gedit | 03:22 |
| dsnyders | Hi all, is there a grep expression for excluding lines? | 03:22 |
| === Nolan3 is now known as Nolan2 | ||
| brjann | kinja-sheep: oh, you just wanted to open the files? i'm sorry, i thought you wanted to edit the list itself :) | 03:23 |
| === sshc_ is now known as sshc | ||
| Lenin_Cat | sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working, something is failing to configure | 03:23 |
| jburges | Nolan2: odd, I've never had any problems, how did you install it? livecd or wubi? | 03:23 |
| Nolan2 | Livecd. | 03:23 |
| brjann | dsnyders: grep -v 'pattern' will exclude all lines matching pattern | 03:23 |
| Nolan2 | John you ass. -.- | 03:23 |
| Nolan2 | >.> | 03:23 |
| dsnyders | brjann, Thanks. | 03:23 |
| tomatoes7__ | hallelujah i'm a bum | 03:24 |

| airtonix | trying to run this python script for notification daemon, ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=summary-body.py ) but it gives me an error that : http://pastebin.com/7TcEzThp | 03:25 |
| GeekSquid | surjya: it will be available in synaptic package manager | 03:25 |
| surjya | ok | 03:25 |
| surjya | let me check | 03:25 |
| Lenin_Cat | sudo dpkg --configure -a isnt working, something is failing to configure | 03:26 |
| alex702 | where is xorg.conf in ubuntu 10.4? | 03:26 |
| GeekSquid | Lenin_Cat: it is sudo dpkg-reconfigure | 03:26 |
| GeekSquid | !lucid | alex702 | 03:26 |
| kinja-sheep | alex702: #ubuntu+1 | 03:26 |
| ubottu | alex702: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 03:26 |
| Nolan2 | So, can anyone help me out? | 03:26 |
| Lenin_Cat | GeekSquid, /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: pgf is broken or not fully installed | 03:27 |
| alex702 | where can i find xorg.conf ? | 03:27 |

| kinja-sheep | alex702: /join #ubuntu+1 | 03:27 |
| alex702 | thanks guys but i couldnt find it in 9.10 either | 03:28 |
| fivetwentysix | My internet stopped working, it's connected through a wire to a router, nothing has changed since yesterday as far as I know, it just doesn't work as of today. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue? Connecting through a ethernet controller. Running Karmic (9.10) | 03:28 |
| Lenin_Cat | why do users use unstable verisons of ubuntu as stable ones | 03:28 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: I'm assuming you've verified that it's not your ISP? :) | 03:28 |
| GeekSquid | alex702: it isn't there XrandR takes care of everything in most cases ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorg.conf | 03:29 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Yes, I'm connected to the same router on a mac book pro. | 03:29 |
| kinja-sheep | Lenin_Cat: Because stable machines freed up 90% of their times and they wish to avoid doing something productive. | 03:29 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: However I'm through wireless. I will test now to see if it works with a wire. | 03:29 |
| pheonix | what does shift control alt f4 do? | 03:29 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: good idea | 03:29 |
| Nolan2 | !VMWare | 03:29 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 03:29 |
| Nolan2 | !VirtualBox | 03:29 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 03:29 |
| john | Hi group I got the montor working just fine I just updated to 9.10 but how does one load up drivers for a web Cam | 03:29 |
| Mulevad | What does ActionParsnip mean by !ati | mulevad | 03:29 |
| Nolan2 | !free | 03:30 |
| ubottu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 03:30 |
| kinja-sheep | Mulevad: ActionParsnip provide you information about !ati (for ubottu). | 03:30 |
| kinja-sheep | !ati | Mulevad | 03:30 |

| richlyn | installed tor and enabled ...got error "proxy server refusing connections" | 03:30 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: sorry accidently tripped my wire | 03:31 |
| GeekSquid | pheonix: not mapped to anything but because Ctrl-Alt-F4 will drop you to a virtual terminal scaf4 will do the same thing .... normally you wouldn't map all 3 modifier keys | 03:31 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: everything works | 03:31 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: nothing wrong with the router | 03:31 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix_: great, glad to hear it :) | 03:31 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: So what's wrong with ubuntu? | 03:31 |
| binMonkey | hi, guys. google chrome unstable and beta have been stallling on me the last couple of days. i finally looked at htop and realized that old sessions hadn't closed. could that be the reason new sessions are stalling? chrome is installed in /opt if it makes any difference. | 03:31 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: The network manager icon just keeps spinning but does nothing, can even go on for hours. | 03:32 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix_: does that machine just have one network card? | 03:32 |
| Mulevad | thanks ubottu - I'm off to binarydriverhowto land... | 03:32 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: yes. | 03:33 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix_: okay. are you familiar with the command line? | 03:33 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: Where is the log file for network activity located? | 03:33 |
| fivetwentysix_ | brjann: Sort-of. | 03:33 |

| Hennkis | i have problems with network | 03:34 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: there isn't a log file for networking exactly; most of the messages would end up in syslog | 03:34 |
| Hennkis | it doesnt work | 03:34 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: /var/log/syslog i mean | 03:34 |
| Gamrok | guys what is the xforcevesa command | 03:34 |
| GeekSquid | !work | Hennkis | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Hennkis: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 03:34 |
| Hennkis | i cant connect my laptop to internet | 03:34 |
| surjya | i checked for this "xserver-xorg-input-evtouch" . its not there | 03:34 |
| Hennkis | i have static | 03:34 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: open up a terminal window and ifconfig | 03:35 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: yeah i know | 03:35 |
| GeekSquid | !enter | Hennkis | 03:35 |
| ubottu | Hennkis: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:35 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: okay | 03:35 |
| Hennkis | but i cant open any page from internet | 03:35 |
| Hennkis | ok | 03:35 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: returns two controllers, eth0 + lo | 03:35 |
| Hennkis | sorry | 03:35 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: would you mind pastebinning the output of ifconfig for me? | 03:35 |
| GeekSquid | Hennkis: if you set a static IP you need to provide a DNS server or you won't have internet ... | 03:35 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: how I don't have network access lol | 03:35 |
| rinah | hi............... | 03:36 |

| rinah | how are you? | 03:36 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: err key points, eth0 says UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST | 03:36 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: okay, does eth0 have anything listed next to inet addr: ? | 03:36 |
| Hennkis | dns?? i am new on this, letme see | 03:36 |
| GeekSquid | !chat | rinah | 03:36 |
| ubottu | rinah: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others. See also !Kopete | 03:36 |

| ubottu | rinah: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org | 03:36 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: yeah it says inet6 addr: fe80::211... Spoke:Link | 03:37 |
| rinah | from where you? | 03:37 |
| Gamrok | guys what is the xforcevesa command | 03:37 |
| fivetwentysix | err Scope* | 03:37 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: okay, so just an inet6 address? nothing with just inet? | 03:37 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Also there a /64 at the end just before Scope, but this machine is i386 | 03:37 |
| GeekSquid | rinah: this is not a chat channel this is a support channel, not for idle chat, please find another, more appropriate channel | 03:38 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: that's fine, that /64 is just a subnet mask, not related to your CPU | 03:38 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: nothing with inet, this is probably because it's not connected to the network, it's trying to connect but does nothing. | 03:38 |
| rinah | where you now geeksquid? | 03:38 |
| Stik | lol | 03:38 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: right, that's what I wanted to verify. | 03:39 |
| GeekSquid | !troll | rinah | 03:39 |
| ubottu | rinah: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 03:39 |
| GeekSquid | you have been warned | 03:39 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: I'm looking at the syslog, it says something like Stage 4 of 5 (IP6 configure Get) but i noticed there's no stage 5 | 03:39 |
| rinah | what is your nationality? | 03:39 |
| Madpilot | rinah, if you just want to chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:39 |

| brjann | fivetwentysix: and it's listing eth0 in the Stage messages, yes? | 03:40 |
| rinah | how? i dont know yet, its my 1st time. | 03:40 |
| GeekSquid | !guidelines | rinah | 03:41 |
| ubottu | rinah: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 03:41 |
| Madpilot | GeekSquid, it's OK | 03:41 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: yeah, and states it's complete. but doesn't start stage 5 of 5. I'm guessing there's no stage 5 of 5 because I searched my whole log for it to find nothing. | 03:41 |
| crankharder | what's the cmd to see the current version of ubuntu i have installed? | 03:41 |
| Madpilot | rinah, type "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" without the " around it | 03:41 |
| Madpilot | crankharder, "lsb_release -a" in terminal | 03:41 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: yes, stage 5 is finalizing the network connection, which clearly isn't happening | 03:41 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Well it should display like on yesterdays log because it was working yesterday. | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | GeekSquid: you may want to take a look at the guidelines also and the !coc. I am sure that it says something about not calling people idiots | 03:42 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: yesterday's log has probably been rotated; those are the .1, .2.gz, ... etc files | 03:42 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Was there any new updates that have occurred like a kernel update in the past few days, perhaps the user updated the machine and something broke. | 03:42 |
| === tek__ is now known as cyberbluntz | ||
| brjann | fivetwentysix: no, i don't recall anything in the last few days besides a sudo security update | 03:43 |
| aggro | I'm wondering if someone can shed some light on why I can't boot into my usb installer. I did it yesterday, but instead of booting to usb, I guess it couldn't find it and went to network install and errored out. I got a proper usb stick today (was using an sd card with adapter yesterday) and now it says boot loader not found | 03:43 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: try this: sudo service network-manager stop | 03:43 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: then sudo service networking restart | 03:44 |
| Arsin | Hey I forgot how to install a program using the "Make" feature can anyone guide me? | 03:44 |
| crankharder | where does upstart keep its job definitions in 9.10? | 03:44 |
| GeekSquid | Arsin: what are you trying to install? | 03:45 |
| crankharder | i *think* they were kept in /etc/event.d in 8.10, but that's changed... maybe? | 03:45 |
| Arsin | GeekSquid: Avira | 03:45 |
| brjann | !checkinstall | Arsin | 03:45 |
| ubottu | Arsin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 03:45 |
| oso3000 | i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ?? | 03:46 |
| Arsin | make: *** [avira-guard-applet] Error 1-- is what I get when I "sudo make install" | 03:46 |
| DaZ | Arsin: lack of permissions maybe? | 03:47 |
| DaZ | aw, nevermind | 03:47 |
| Arsin | There is a "make" file in there | 03:47 |
| Kamokow | Should I use FAT32 on a 1TB external drive, or should i use NTFS. I was thinking FAT32 is more compatable, but also NTFS has better support for larger drives :-/ | 03:47 |
| Arsin | I did, make clean, make, make install | 03:47 |
| oso3000 | Kamokow, ntfs works great with the new driver | 03:48 |
| oso3000 | i installed wine, then winetricks... now all my firefox fonts are broken, they look awful... i tried uninstalling "ms core fonts", but they're still broken... what should i do ?? | 03:48 |
| Arsin | Oh I;m getting that error when I run "make" | 03:48 |
| Kamokow | oso3000: Okay, thanks, I just have had problems with NTFS before, thought I would ask what anyone else thought. | 03:48 |
| hvtuananh | ntfs is working fine now :) | 03:48 |
| brjann | Arsin: sounds like a compilation problem, which is really beyond the scope of #ubuntu support | 03:49 |
| thecarlhall | I have something that is hanging my machine at shutdown. Is there a way on restart to get the contents shown in the shutdown console? | 03:49 |
| r3dp0int | #list | 03:49 |
| GeekSquid | Arsin: I am not sure what you would need that for, linux is pretty virus free, I don't know why anyone would pay for virus software for linux... nextly, what brjann just said is true | 03:49 |
| hvtuananh | i don't use fat/fat32 anymore (except my thumb drv) | 03:49 |

| fivetwentysix | brjann: everything after my last message i didn't see. | 03:50 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: okay. try sudo service network-manager stop and then sudo service networking restart | 03:50 |
| Arsin | GeekSquid: Ya I never have used an anti-virus but a torrent I DL'ed according to the tracker message says "Its a virus" but the file works fine so I'd like to figure out what's going on with that. | 03:50 |
| airtonix | i'm getting an error of : "org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files" when i try to use that dbus service via python to print notifications to the screen... i have notification-daemon installed... | 03:51 |

| brjann | fivetwentysix: sudo service --status-all 2>&1 | grep -i network | 03:56 |

| Jordan_U | aggro, How did you try to get the Ubuntu installer onto the usb stick? "bootmgr missing" is a windows error so I don't understand what that has to do with installing Ubuntu from a flash drive. | 03:57 |

| brjann | fivetwentysix: no, network-manager isn't required for networking | 03:59 |
| aggro | Jordan_U, yes, not only have I changed BIOS setting to looks for bootable USB sticks, I am also manually selecting that particular media to boot from using the "boot manager" (mac os term) | 04:00 |

| pangolin_rollin | testing.. anyone see this message? | 04:38 |
| Jon- | mbrigdan: VLC is my favourite, but it lacks some big library + music killer support. Sort of a "just works" media player that has slowly added on features like that. | 04:38 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: done | 04:38 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: okay. 802.1x security unchecked | 04:38 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: IPv4 settings | 04:38 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: method: automatic | 04:39 |
| mbrigdan | Jon-, VLC is one of my favourite media players too (all my video), but it doesn't have anything in terms of managing my music library, or transferring songs to devices | 04:39 |
| RfooTfoo | can someone help me locate my .htaccess file that is active? I need to change the password and I cant locate it! lol | 04:39 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: I'd start by backing up everything ... .. Is this a LTS version? | 04:39 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: i thought we want to set an ip? | 04:39 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: the OS actually came with a custom kernel. i didn't realize this until i noticed that openvpn wouldn't load any kernel modules. I changed the kernel to the LTS. Basically, this was my first time using Ubuntu so everything on here isn't quite right. Now that I kind of know my way around, Yes, it is an LTS version | 04:39 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: we can, after we've verified the settings and tried dhcp again | 04:39 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: Also, everything has already been backed up. | 04:39 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: still doent work | 04:39 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: we're not there yet :) | 04:39 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: go back into editing that connection, on the ipv4 tab | 04:40 |
| mbrigdan | slimjimflim, both of those are nice, but not quite what I'm going for. I'm looking for more an iTunes replacement, which Amarok 1.4 did quite well | 04:40 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: and? | 04:40 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: click the routes button at the bottom and ensure that it's empty and the two boxes are unchecked | 04:40 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: yup | 04:41 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: okay, onto the ipv6 tab. should be method: ignore | 04:41 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: I'd wait until the middle of April ... the next LTS is coming out ... everything would be updated, .. then you'd prolly have some fixing to do, but it would be a far cry from a in place reinstallation | 04:41 |
| harisund | I have installed karmic-server, and I have setup my eth0 to be static. Yet, in my /var/log/syslog I keep seeing messages CONSTANTLY of eth1 trying to acquire an IP through DHCP from my router (and acquiring too) .. Why does it happen? | 04:41 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: yup | 04:41 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: alright, click apply. | 04:42 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: Alright, that sounds fine. However, when I upgrade this coming april, wouldn't I still need to ... 'wipe everything down'? (remove everything & start over)? | 04:42 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: still not working | 04:42 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: bummer. alright, static ip then | 04:42 |

| brjann | fivetwentysix: back to the ipv4 tab | 04:42 |
| Iron_Man | i need some assistance | 04:42 |
| Iron_Man | linux newbie | 04:42 |
| arand | !ask | Iron_Man | 04:43 |
| ubottu | Iron_Man: 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. :-) | 04:43 |
| Iron_Man | my laptop battery is not charging for some reason | 04:43 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: method: manual. click add, insert an address like 192.168.1.222, netmask 255.255.255.0, and gateway 192.168.1.1 (i'm assuming that's your router's IP) | 04:43 |
| Iron_Man | i found a package on that will help me make it work again | 04:44 |
| thesoprano08 | #ubuntu-pa | 04:44 |
| jmq | noob question. How would I download a zip file from some url in the console? | 04:44 |
| Iron_Man | but the file is on .ISO | 04:44 |
| Iron_Man | how do i use an .ISO file | 04:44 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: for DNS, if your router can act as a DNS server, put its ip; otherwise, you can use google's public DNS service: 8.8.8.8 | 04:44 |
| arand | jmq: wget is one option | 04:44 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: if you upgrade from LTS 8.04 to LTS 10.04, just about every file on the server is going to be replaced, except for your data, essentially cleaning it too, I;d change some passwords, clean up some SQL tables and get the latest DNS data, but other than that, I think you'd be good to go | 04:44 |
| Iron_Man | arand | 04:44 |
| dsnyders | Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? | 04:45 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: so when i upgrade to the next LTS, what would happen to the config files? | 04:45 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| fivetwentysix | brjann: google has a dns service? | 04:45 |
| arand | Iron_Man: you should be able to right-click, open with, archive mounter. | 04:45 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: yep, since december | 04:45 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: wow, is it me or does it even perform faster than my isp's dns server | 04:46 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: search domains you can leave blank | 04:46 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: itworks btw | 04:46 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: probably not you, ISP DNSes are notoriously bad ;) | 04:46 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: great! i have no idea what's wrong with DHCP unfortunately | 04:46 |
| islington | where does amarok save its podcasts? | 04:47 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: that is what you have to make sure to backup .. some would be replaced, others appended, but you would still have a working environment from which to reconfigure everything | 04:47 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: but if you're happy with static, i'm happy | 04:47 |
| Iron_Man | arand, i will try it now, hold on a sec | 04:47 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: i'd actually want ALL my config files deleted, if possible. that's essentially what i'm going for here :) | 04:47 |
| NotTooSmart | ls -lh /crypt/files; read sent over ssh returns: 192.168.1.3: command not found, any ideas. I was told ; read stops the window from closing so the command shold stat the dir but it doesn't | 04:47 |
| pangolin_rollin | gps shows device input under # cat /dev/ttyUSB0 but doesn't show up when running gpsdrive?? reasons? | 04:48 |
| Iron_Man | Arand, i did it , but how do i use it now | 04:48 |
| arand | Iron_Man: what are the contents of it? | 04:48 |
| Jon- | Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ I've been helping a lot of people on here while waiting haha | 04:49 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: it's possible someone in #gnome could help you troubleshoot networkmanager specifically, since it's a gnome project now, if you're interested | 04:49 |
| Iron_Man | it has a bunch of folders | 04:49 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: define config files ... /etc/resolv.conf is a config file, but you'd never want to change it - if you did you would loose networking, same for /etc/network/interfaces ... get my point ... | 04:49 |
| Iron_Man | either way it seems that would not fix my issue | 04:49 |
| Iron_Man | arand, | 04:50 |
| Iron_Man | my battery keeps showing a message that is discharging | 04:50 |
| Iron_Man | but i just bought that battery like a month ago | 04:50 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: oh yeah, haha, sorry. i meant application config files - as in httpd.conf, or php.ini, etc, etc | 04:50 |
| Iron_Man | and i was looking for an application that will allow me to test my battery | 04:51 |

| brjann | fivetwentysix: and you can't reorder the boot devices in the BIOS setup? | 04:55 |
| arand | Iron_Man: If you simply run "gnome-power-statistics" from the alt+F2 prompt you should et some battery info, provided they are detected correctly | 04:55 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: There is no bios setup | 04:55 |
| gilbertthebrain | Could someone tell me if Ubuntu is DEB or rpm based? | 04:56 |
| MrPockets | man | 04:56 |
| MrPockets | my nutty install went and changed a buncha stuff to crazy language in a crazy font | 04:56 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: for httpd.conf blanking it would be fine, whereas deleting it would be a bad idea, as for php.ini it will be replaced by the next version of php4 or 5 ... apache is a server .. php is a set of libraries that allow for parsing of php data, I don't consider them applications, I consider the webapps that exist within the webroot the application and the infrastructure that allows that to be served is the LAMP stack ... follow? | 04:56 |
| Jon- | fivetwentysix: There is... no.. BIOS setup? | 04:57 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: really? i've never seen a dell that didn't have a BIOS setup you could get to by wailing on F2 while the logo was onscreen | 04:57 |
| airtonix | gilbertthebrain, ubuntu is based on debian... | 04:57 |
| rww | gilbertthebrain: deb | 04:57 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: similarly i've always been able to get to a boot options prompt by hitting F11 | 04:58 |
| gilbertthebrain | thanks | 04:58 |
| ryanrhee90 | hrm. okay. well web apps are independent, i can just remove their directory. I'm talking more like ... apache itself, for example. i'd rather just delete any trace of apache2 on my machine and re-install it using apt-get, cuz i'm almost certain i've hacked it to the point of no return. same with ... mysql. or... shorewall, bind9, etc etc | 04:58 |
| DarkSpirit | Hey | 04:58 |
| sloopy | where is the /etc/rc.d dir hidden in 9.10? | 04:58 |
| DarkSpirit | Which are the big Linux Oses? | 04:58 |
| DarkSpirit | OSes? | 04:58 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Well either it doesn't recognize my keyboard early enough for me to go into the bios menu or it just doesn't have one; I've tried rebooting hundreds of times. | 04:58 |
| * pangolin_rollin waves | 04:59 | |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: razer arctosa keyboard | 04:59 |
| brjann | DarkSpirit: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major | 04:59 |
| DarkSpirit | thanks | 04:59 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, /etc/rc* | 04:59 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: not familiar with it. i'd say you'd probably be better off finding a cheap keyboard to let you into the boot menu than trying to jack with your boot record so you can install linux :) however, you could also try wubi and install from windows | 05:00 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, yes the 0-6 dir's are there but no rc.d | 05:00 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: hrm... for example, i'm guessing that "apt-get remove apache2" won't delete httpd.conf. if i do apt-get install apache2 after removing, i'm guessing that the configuration files will still be there. true? | 05:00 |
| brjann | !wubi | fivetwentysix | 05:00 |
| ubottu | fivetwentysix: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 05:00 |
| pangolin_rollin | anyone have an extensive knowledge of either GPS or fingerprint readers? i need help with both | 05:00 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, there is no rc.d | 05:00 |
| pangolin_rollin | ! | 05:00 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, so where to put stuff that usually goes in it? | 05:01 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: I don't want to install something where it doesn't give me full hardware support | 05:01 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: i rather just install it on a VM | 05:01 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: if that's the case | 05:01 |
| Jon- | ubottu: You guys still recommend Wubi? I remember like 3-4 months ago I was a Ubuntu green dude, installed with Wubi, worked great, week later, GRUB update, boot loader was SCREWED. What an oversight =/ | 05:01 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 05:01 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, It's been a while. What normally goes in rc.d | 05:02 |
| fivetwentysix | lol @ ubottu | 05:02 |
| Jon- | Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ Please, someone at least tell me it's only a compatibility issue so I can frown and move on haha | 05:02 |
| fivetwentysix | !lol | fivetwentysix | 05:02 |
| ubottu | fivetwentysix, please see my private message | 05:02 |
| Jon- | I like talking to bots | 05:02 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, yeah its been years since i have had to update my router... i dont play with the low level stuff anymore :'( | 05:02 |
| GeekSquid | ryanrhee90: I don't believe in no return .. but anyway .. if you wanted to truly get rid of the lamp stack (for instance) sudo tasksel remove --purge lamp-server would really get rid of everything, then i'd be just a matter of reinstalling the lamp stack, ... your example is ok, however it doesn't get rid of the configs unless you do sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2 ... follow? | 05:02 |
| duncanidaho1 | Why does DESKTOP DRAPES not startup when my computer restarts? It is listed in my startup applications. It is also set to do so in its preferences. | 05:02 |
| ryanrhee90 | GeekSquid: Purge! okay. i'll do that. thanks! :) | 05:03 |
| arand | Jon-: I have never used wubi nor do I think much of it, I would say if you have a choice, go with a dualboot instead. | 05:03 |
| Jon- | arand: After GRUB blew up on me I dual-booted. Seriously though, if Ubuntu is supposed to work for my Grandma and a simple recommended update blows up Wubi because of some mix up with GRUB... well, that just sucks. | 05:04 |
| seanbrystone | good luck finding the perfect OS | 05:05 |
| GeekSquid | Jon-: type /msg ubottu !gender ... you might get a kick out of that ... also http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi is ubottu's database for your enjoyment | 05:05 |
| arand | Jon-: Bugs always suck, but there is little avoiding the neither, such is life. | 05:05 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, I think the stuff goes in the various rc*.d folders, and possibly the /etc/event.d folder. | 05:05 |
| fivetwentysix | brjann: Can I install wubi and make it use a whole harddrive to itself to increase performance? | 05:05 |
| linucks | Hi there, I am confused over this new grub.cnf, I need to add a kernel option however there seems to be no menu.lst file and the grub.cnf is only script. Can anyone help? | 05:05 |
| Jon- | arand: True, but when was the last time a Microsoft patches caused BSODs? Last patch date, yes, but that was from a rootkit not letting it modify a file, haha ^_^ | 05:06 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, only symlinks go into rc*.d | 05:06 |
| arand | linucks: editing is done in /etc/default/grub | 05:06 |
| brjann | fivetwentysix: apparently yes, via LVPM. I've never used wubi or LVPM, though :) http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 05:06 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, so where do the symlinks point? | 05:06 |
| Jon- | arand: My point is Ubuntu really needs more stability before it's ready for the average user IMO, I'm not bashing, just saying, it's a power-user OS | 05:06 |
| Jon- | Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ Please, someone at least tell me it's only a compatibility issue so I can frown and move on haha | 05:07 |
| arand | linucks: use "sudo update-grub" to propagate the to the actual grub.cfg | 05:07 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, to files in /etc/init.d | 05:07 |
| linucks | arand: ok, where in /etc/default/grub do I add a kernel option? I am new to grub2 | 05:07 |
| fivetwentysix | Does wubi work on Win 7 64bit ? | 05:07 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, which are where the actual startup control scripts reside | 05:07 |
| Jon- | fivetwentysix: It worked with RC1 for me, so I assume it will for you as well. I'd really recommend dual-boot though. | 05:08 |
| jrtayloriv | Why would I use Ubuntu firefox addons rather than just installing them directly through firefox? | 05:08 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, so I guess that's where your /etc/rc.d files are too. | 05:08 |
| linucks | arand: would it happen to be GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""? | 05:08 |
| Jon- | jrtayloriv: I think they are the same thing. | 05:08 |
| axisys | how do I setup a user with autologin ? put ubuntu on my gf's laptop .. she prefers not to enter passwd during login.. it is secure.. no open port except ssh w/ limit and there is no inbound route to my home | 05:08 |
| arand | linucks: kernel option? like "acpi=off" or "vga=868"? In that case it is at the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line (where there is already the quiet and splash options) | 05:09 |
| jrtayloriv | Jon- Why does Ubuntu team maintain these packages then? Surely they wouldn't create a package for no reason .... | 05:09 |
| Jon- | axisys: System -> Administration -> Login screen [in there] | 05:09 |
| fivetwentysix | Jon-: I'm having trouble booting from cd | 05:09 |
| linucks | arand: i8042.nomux=1 | 05:09 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, nope, rc.d was for scripts for simple tasks that were started/stopped/etc by the scripts in /etc/init.d | 05:09 |
| Jon- | fivetwentysix: You the BIOS guy? Tap F2 when computer powers on set CD to boot before hard-drive in boot order | 05:09 |
| Jon- | Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ Please, someone at least tell me it's only a compatibility issue so I can frown and move on haha | 05:10 |
| arand | linucks: that would go in there yes (what I mentioned) | 05:10 |
| fivetwentysix | Jon-: That's the whole problem | 05:10 |
| linucks | arand: ok thanks :) | 05:10 |
| Jon- | jrtayloriv: I've used Ubuntu for 1 month. Don't ask me. :P | 05:10 |

| hamza | no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility. now im just wondering if it's hopeless and i have to reinstall... | 05:11 |
| arand | fivetwentysix: Depending on system everything from Del, F1-F2, F10-F12 is possible ways to get into bios | 05:11 |
| Jon- | fivetwentysix: BIOS setup is usually F1, F2 or DEL. I usually tap all three in rapid succession until it pops up. | 05:11 |
| fivetwentysix | Jon-: ill try when i gethome | 05:11 |
| sloopy | Jon-, looks like you are probly sharing it as a raw device and ubuntu is sending PS pages to it... | 05:12 |
| seanbrystone | isnt F10 the bios on the newer HP's? | 05:12 |
| sloopy | Jon-, on the win2k machine look at the raw file in the spool and see if it has a PS header or binary data... | 05:12 |
| rww | I tend to just bash function keys randomly until the setup screen appears. | 05:13 |
| ja660k | is there a win95 emulator like dosbox? | 05:13 |
| ardchoille | rww: hehe | 05:13 |
| Wubuntu | i'm using Karmic Koala 9.10, and have a Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera that i can't seem to get to operate. Can anyone assist me with this problem? | 05:13 |
| Jon- | sloopy: I can access the drive remotely from here, what path is the spool in generally? | 05:13 |
| arand | jrtayloriv: Using the ubuntu firefox addons makes them use the package management system, and hence will be easier to manage (depending on your preference) | 05:13 |
| arand | !wine | ja660k | 05:13 |
| ubottu | ja660k: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 05:13 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, on my fedora box, rc.d contains init.d and the various rc*.d folders. On my ubuntu those are all in /etc directly. | 05:13 |
| sloopy | Jon-, i dont know for win2k, on win xp it is... uh give me a sec | 05:13 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, what exactly are you after? | 05:14 |
| axisys | how do I disable `laptop mode' .. it is keep going to suspend mode if the lid is down | 05:14 |
| axisys | got it! power management | 05:14 |
| Jon- | axisys: You can access power options from System -> Preferences -> Power Management. Change the settings and click the make default [or whatever it is] button | 05:14 |

| sensae | I'm having problems with mdadm and RAID - it seems like it won't write a superblock to my raid devices | 05:15 |
| GeekSquid | sloopy: you are so much better off using iptables or ufw, firestarter is a memory/cpu hog | 05:16 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, and i am used to sysv init, as it was in the past (i used to use FC back in the day...) | 05:16 |

| sloopy | Jon-, i dont rem which, use a good text editor and open one and see if there is a PS header in it... | 05:18 |
| MrPockets | all system fonts are fine.. | 05:18 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest58560 | ||
| b2p1mp | im on 910 ubuntu | 05:18 |
| Jon- | sloopy vim to the rescue one sec | 05:19 |
| sloopy | Jon-, best thing since sliced bread ;') | 05:19 |
| b2p1mp | cant seem to reach the printer attached to lpt1 on my windows machine | 05:19 |
| Guest58560 | hello all can i ask a question | 05:19 |
| sloopy | Guest58560, you just did... | 05:19 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, judging from the readme in /etc/init.d, you should put it in /etc/init.d and then run update-rc.d | 05:19 |
| Guest58560 | fair enough... | 05:19 |
| brjann | !ask | Guest58560 | 05:19 |
| ubottu | Guest58560: 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. :-) | 05:19 |
| Jon- | spool Hmm, just seems like binaries to me, gedit can't find proper encoding and VIM displays garbage or nothing | 05:20 |
| alcala | can anybody help me to decide on what webcam I can buy that is compatible with a messenger in ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| dsnyders | Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? | 05:20 |
| Guest58560 | ok..so just installed ubuntu had free space of 10gb on drive formated it as Fat to store music..rebooted drive not seen data ?gone? | 05:20 |
| dsnyders | Guest58560, Is the drive mounted? | 05:21 |
| brjann | alcala: here's a list of webcams that the Free Software Foundation likes: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/cameras | 05:21 |
| Jon- | sloopy Hmm, just seems like binaries to me, gedit can't find proper encoding and VIM displays garbage or nothing [I called you "spool". Ironic fail.] | 05:21 |
| Guest58560 | and partitions are not mounted automatically which is odd to me | 05:21 |
| GeekSquid | alcala: look here http://www.murrayc.com/blog/permalink/2008/03/28/webcams-that-just-work-with-ubuntu/ | 05:21 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, no, that isnt the right place for the script... init.d is where the script with the info for update-rc needs is stored... | 05:21 |
| alcala | brjann thanks | 05:21 |
| DanaG | hmm, is it a known issue that the PowerPC LiveCD is 705 megabytes, and thus too big to fit on a CD? | 05:22 |
| brjann | alcala: take a look at the link GeekSquid said too :) | 05:22 |
| alcala | geeksquid thanks | 05:22 |
| AgentGreen | hi everyone | 05:22 |
| sloopy | Jon-, yeah then win2k is probly sharing it as a raw specific printer as opposed to a generic PS printer... | 05:22 |
| cyberbluntz | OK, so I'm trying to play this dvd I picked up from the redbox, when I put it it it comes up with an autolauncher, and asks me what to do . I select the movie player, and when It attempts to launch it gives and error "no URI handler implemented for "dvd"." | 05:22 |
| AgentGreen | anyone not to busy or frustrated to help A Ubuntu desktop installation problem ? | 05:23 |
| GeekSquid | DanaG: please ask that question in #ubuntu-powerpc | 05:23 |
| Jon- | sloopy: AKA, Windows-share only? [as the driver is transmitted to the box when it tries to access it]? | 05:23 |
| Jon- | sloopy: It works with zero-config for XP and 7 | 05:24 |
| sloopy | Jon-, yeah that sounds about right... i am not really sure, as i have been linux (and unix) prodominate for ~15 years... | 05:24 |
| sloopy | Jon-, and i have seen this issue with samba... i know how to fix it in samba but not windows | 05:24 |
| Jon- | sloopy: I'm 20... you make me feel young ^_^. Out of curiosity what's the samba fix? | 05:25 |
| jmfedlp | #ubuntu-es | 05:25 |
| AgentGreen | I get a blank screen after ubuntu bootloader? lets me select | 05:25 |
| sensae | I'm trying to start my raid array with mdadm and I get device or resource busy | 05:25 |
| sloopy | Jon-, samba is the app that runs on linux (and other os's) for sharing things in the MS way... | 05:25 |
| sensae | lsof shows nothing using either drives / partitions | 05:25 |
| Jon- | sloopy: Oh. I thought it was the name for the actual protocol used by Windows, nevermind. I see the difference now | 05:26 |
| sloopy | Jon-, the protocol is called 'smb' | 05:26 |
| pangolin_rollin | hello? testing connection please respond back? | 05:26 |
| AgentGreen | hello | 05:26 |
| GeekSquid | pangolin_rollin: working | 05:27 |
| pangolin_rollin | Geeksquid: thank you | 05:27 |
| Jon- | sloopy: Yep. I should have known that. I'm very solid on Windows boxes, only have about a month of ubuntu under my belt now. Thanks for the help, I guess I am screwed =/ | 05:27 |
| rothsdad | 、 | 05:27 |
| sloopy | Jon-, problem is fixable, i just dont know how... | 05:28 |
| sloopy | Jon-, besides isnt win2k EOL? | 05:28 |
| AgentGreen | awww bummer all the documentation and searching with no luck | 05:29 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: Laptop? | 05:29 |
| hamza | noone knows why i cant mount any of my drives? | 05:29 |
| AgentGreen | no netbook installled awsome it loaded so well on my eeepc I decided to install on my desktop also not the remix ofcourse but the new 9.10 | 05:30 |
| Jon- | sloopy: Win2k is in "extended" support, no new features are planned but security patches and vulnerabilities are still addressed.. those are dropped in like 2012? | 05:30 |
| AgentGreen | and i just get a blank screeen and my refresh rate or resolution in my card | 05:30 |
| AgentGreen | goes nuts | 05:31 |
| sloopy | Jon-, ahhh, i just know someone who was telling me 2003 server is going to be EOL this year, so i figured 2k was well past EOL | 05:31 |
| Jon- | sloopy It's quite an old PC, it really wouldn't run XP without an upgrade. It has the printer attached just out of convinence, no room by the XP box [my main box, this is a laptop] | 05:31 |
| alcala | WEBCAM configuring is hard? I mean u should pick a compatible one, configure it, and see if u have luck making it work! | 05:31 |
| theadmin | What does TTY stand for, actually? | 05:31 |
| sloopy | theadmin, TeleTYpe | 05:32 |
| jazusa03 | compiz has broken, when i load it, all the windows go blank i tried to run it in the console but couldnt read an error message | 05:32 |
| theadmin | sloopy: :/ | 05:32 |
| mengu | hi. when i try to play some mp3s i get this error: "GstMPEGAudioParse: No valid frames found before end of stream" why is that? they were working great on win? | 05:32 |
| chd | how do I mount iso's with ubuntu | 05:32 |
| issaec | hola | 05:32 |
| axisys | chd: sudo mount -o loop file.iso /mnt | 05:33 |
| sloopy | ubottu, iso | chd | 05:33 |
| ubottu | chd: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:33 |
| AgentGreen | no idea's anyone ? | 05:33 |
| issaec | which is the room of Ubuntu in spanish¿? | 05:34 |
| issaec | xD | 05:34 |
| Jon- | sloopy Oh crappp Windows 2000 extended support ends 13/07/2010. I guess I am hounding my parents to upgrade then, that's sort of critical and I refuse to have an easily compromised box on the network | 05:34 |
| brjann | !es | issaec | 05:34 |

| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: there are a number of considerations... it is probably your video card ... at boot loader screen . press ESC after post ... go to recovery mode and run the xfix then reboot and see if that helped | 05:34 |
| sloopy | Jon-, replace 2k with ubuntu | 05:34 |
| AgentGreen | thank you very much geek squid | 05:34 |
| Johny | HELLPPP!!!! | 05:34 |
| AgentGreen | this is from cd boot ? | 05:35 |
| Jon- | sloopy: It's my moms computer | 05:35 |
| sloopy | Jon-, mom can learn ubuntu... | 05:35 |
| Johny | i uninstalled ubuntu but i cant seem to uninstall GRUB Loader | 05:35 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: fresh start ... when you get to Loading Grub .. Press esc ... go to the recovery cosole and run the xfix | 05:35 |
| Johny | i cant boot to my XP machine :( | 05:35 |
| Jon- | sloopy: I've had ubuntu for a month and the only reason I didn't say screw it and go back to windows is because I had the perseverance and was good with PCs. I've had issues... I'll consider it. | 05:35 |
| AgentGreen | all i have is cd | 05:36 |
| AgentGreen | k it switch into text mod | 05:36 |
| AgentGreen | im at boot : | 05:36 |
| sensae | Can anyone explain this to me? My mdadm raid automatically builds on boot, on /dev/md_d0, and I have it in fstab. When my system boots it hangs complaining /home won't mount (the raid), but all I have to do is drop to recovery console, type 'mount -a' and hit ctrl D to continue booting, and it works | 05:36 |
| sloopy | Jon-, just remember you didnt learn windows in a month, so dont expect to learn ubuntu in a month ;') | 05:36 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: press esc to get to the grub screen ... go to recovery .. are we getting there | 05:36 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, scripts go into /etc/init.d according to this: http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/ and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368717 | 05:36 |
| AgentGreen | trying i think I did it too early | 05:36 |
| Johny | any of you guys here know how to remove grub loader? | 05:37 |
| AgentGreen | just went to a boot: promp | 05:37 |
| ChogyDan | sensae: it might be an ordering thing. It is trying to boot before the raid comes online | 05:37 |
| Johny | GRUB | 05:37 |
| ChogyDan | sensae: don't know anything about fixing that though... | 05:37 |
| rww | Johny: what are you trying to replace it with? Windows' boot loader? | 05:37 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, yes, startup scripts belong in init.d but this isnt the startup script... | 05:37 |
| Johny | yeah i want to restore it to the original | 05:37 |
| AgentGreen | if I press esc from boot loader of cd | 05:37 |
| sensae | ChogyDan: Well that's lame :/ | 05:37 |
| AgentGreen | I go to a BOOT: prompt | 05:37 |
| NimbleRabit | I'm trying to do a cp command, and I know for 100% sure the file exists, but it's telling me cannot stat FILE: No such file or directory. Here's the command sudo cp "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CoreAVC Pro/CoreAVCDecoder.ax" /usr/share/dshowserver/ what am I doing wrong here? | 05:37 |
| AgentGreen | I did it post clicking live | 05:37 |
| rww | Johny: Which version of Windows? | 05:37 |
| Jon- | sloopy: I just meant shit like having GRUB die on a boot... "Learning Windows" is very false, it's more like "learning how to not install junky programs and avoid malware" Windows is quite stable, hard to screwup, low crash rate, no compatibility issues, updates don't break things. Ubuntu, so far for me, not quite there yet. I don't know if I want to subject my mom to that | 05:37 |
| Johny | i have windows XP | 05:38 |
| AgentGreen | got it posting all info | 05:38 |
| AgentGreen | from loading | 05:38 |
| rww | Johny: http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/292614-how-to-get-back-your-windows-xp-bootloader/ | 05:38 |
| AgentGreen | so i guess it's gona load me into a prompt ? | 05:38 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: not the CD ... try without CD ... boot normally .. when you get past the bios screen press ESC | 05:38 |
| Johny | ahhhh i already did that | 05:38 |
| AgentGreen | not installed there's only ubuntu 8.10 fastrack 4 and windows xp | 05:39 |
| Johny | still doing GRUB Loading but it actually wont even go to the menu | 05:39 |
| AgentGreen | backtrack4 I mean | 05:39 |
| sloopy | Jon-, yeah my wife was a windows person, made her use linux, until she got her new laptop, tried vista, didnt care much for it, went to 7, and is serioulsy considering going back to linux... | 05:39 |
| genii | Johny: For grub2 hold the shift key down and not the esc key | 05:39 |
| Johny | it would just stay GRUB loading | 05:40 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: what do you mean not installed ... what did it do? | 05:40 |
| Jon- | sloopy: Hmm, really? Personally I love 7, but I take computer science so some experiance in UNIX/Linux would be nice. That's why I forced myself to switch for a bit. | 05:40 |
| GeekSquid | genii: that's new .. good to know | 05:40 |
| Jon- | sloopy: I didn't care for Vista at all, it was rushed and just wasn't very good | 05:40 |
| AgentGreen | I place cd in drive | 05:40 |
| AgentGreen | I get too the boot loader menu | 05:41 |
| AgentGreen | I got to install ubuntu | 05:41 |
| AgentGreen | shows me circle logo | 05:41 |
| Johny | nope holding down shift doesnt help | 05:41 |
| AgentGreen | shows me text | 05:41 |
| AgentGreen | then My screen goes out of rang | 05:41 |
| sloopy | Jon-, yeah i have opinions on both but they would be OT here and discussing here is against the TOS for the channel... | 05:41 |
| AgentGreen | it's an intel celery 2.0ghz with a nvidia gfx 7600 gt | 05:42 |
| Jon- | sloopy: Whoops. I won't then, thanks =) | 05:42 |
| sloopy | Jon-, np, suprised something hasnt been ssaid already... | 05:42 |

| dsnyders | sloopy, [shrug] but if you've got it working, you've got it working. | 05:44 |
| hipitihop | what is the correct way to check what timzone I have set from the command line ? | 05:44 |
| lazarus_lupine | anyone know how to completely remove plymouth? Still getting a mountall error message on startup. Using an ssd so i don't need a splash screen. | 05:44 |
| alcala | is there any software like MAIL CHIMP for ubuntu?? | 05:44 |
| arand | Johny: You have an xp CD? | 05:44 |
| Johny | yeah but i did all that fixboot and fixmdr thing | 05:45 |
| brjann | hipitihop: date | 05:45 |
| Johny | and GRUB is still there | 05:45 |
| brjann | hipitihop: that will show the current time in what the system thinks is your local timezone | 05:45 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, yeah that would be an LSB approved method to doing it... | 05:45 |
| hipitihop | brjann, says EST whereas I am GMT+10:00 | 05:45 |
| arand | Johny: That shouldn't be the case... You only have one harddisk? | 05:46 |
| Johny | well when i instlaled ubuntu i had 2 | 05:46 |
| Johny | 1 for xp and 1 for ubuntu | 05:46 |
| hipitihop | brjann, although date and time correct, hence I suspect I never set my timzone properly and just set date/time | 05:46 |
| Johny | and i just removed the ubuntu hardrive cuz i thought it might help remove the GRUB loading thing | 05:47 |
| Johny | but it didnt | 05:47 |
| brjann | hipitihop: this should help :) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime | 05:47 |
| Johny | i already uninstalled ubuntu but now i cant boot to xp cuz GRUB would get stuck loading | 05:47 |
| Johny | cant even get to the GRUB menu | 05:47 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, but either way thanks for the help... | 05:49 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, glad to almost help :-) | 05:49 |
| Johny | WOAH!!!! its fixed | 05:50 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, been using linux for a long time? | 05:50 |
| rshakin | hey ppl; | 05:50 |
| AgentGreen | hi | 05:50 |
| bullgard | pavucontrol) shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? | 05:50 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, at least five years, probably more. | 05:50 |
| hipitihop | brjann, strnage I followed dpkg-reconfigure tzdata and it showed the correct settings and shows current local timezone correctly but in local time it shows EST | 05:50 |
| Wubuntu | are there specific XChat rooms for webcam issues? | 05:51 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, ahh ok... | 05:51 |
| rzx237 | Johny: how? | 05:51 |
| brjann | hipitihop: that's weird. if you click on the clock in your panel, does it show your location correctly? | 05:51 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: I would reccommend downloading either ubuntu 9.04 or 9.10 and install that over the install you have .. I believe you will have better luck | 05:51 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, ubuntu sets a lot of stuff on its ear, though. | 05:51 |
| AgentGreen | i have 9.10 on a cd | 05:51 |
| AgentGreen | but wont install | 05:52 |
| Johny | i dont know it just booted agian. i think it was the hardrive that i removed | 05:52 |
| AgentGreen | fails before install screen boot loader works fine | 05:52 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: have you checkd the disk for integrity? | 05:52 |
| AgentGreen | will do but i suspect it'll be fine | 05:52 |
| Blue1 | rzx237: yes but you have to set that | 05:53 |
| AgentGreen | backtrack 4 installed and ran live from cd wich is on ubuntu 8.10 i believe | 05:53 |
| Jon- | Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ [now with updated info if you took a look before] | 05:53 |
| AgentGreen | so i don't see why this installation of ubuntu 9.10 would be problematic | 05:53 |
| dsnyders | So I gather nobody has gotten kpovmodeler to work? | 05:53 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, just different methods of doing the same thing, try running a *BSD and compare, and you will see how ubuntu and fedora have similarities in different spots with them... | 05:53 |
| hipitihop | brjann, I'm checking the machine remotely via ssh so not simple to bring that up | 05:54 |
| soudesuka | I installed ubuntu using wubi and then tried to move the install using LVPM, but for some reason, ubuntu does not show up in the grub menu. I get an UnknownOS which points to my Windows Bootloader and then the actual Windows Bootloader. The ubuntu install is still associated with the windows bootloader. any suggestions? | 05:54 |
| Skeet | hello guys | 05:54 |
| brjann | hipitihop: ah, i see. sorry, i actually have to do something else for a little bit :( good luck, though! | 05:54 |
| BankHead | Jru. | 05:54 |
| BankHead | Hey.* | 05:54 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, true. It's getting to know the variations and what goes where, especially between distro upgrades, that keeps you on your toes | 05:55 |
| Jon- | souldesuka You could always boot into a Win recovery CD and have it remake the bootloader, then see if you can get GRUB to load Ubuntu? | 05:55 |
| Blue1 | soudesuka: becuase wubi runs as a task under windows | 05:55 |
| soudesuka | Blue1: LVPM is supposed to move Ubuntu to its own seperate partition | 05:55 |
| claws | this is my 6'th day on linux and.. boy... I LOVE THIS ! | 05:55 |
| AgentGreen | claws well done | 05:56 |
| Blue1 | soudesuka: i've not had good luck with that - - but YMMV (your mileage may vary) | 05:56 |
| AgentGreen | Im loving the ubuntu remix | 05:56 |
| sloopy | claws, congrats | 05:56 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, for example, they've changed the xwindows reset from CTRL-ALT-Backspace to ALT-Printscreen-K | 05:56 |
| soudesuka | Jon: the reason I did this was because my laptops disc drive is not working... i cant install any thing from a disc | 05:56 |
| AgentGreen | just not so happy with installer on ubuntu 9.10 desktop | 05:56 |
| Skeet | claws, gj! | 05:57 |
| Jon- | soudesuka: The only way I know how to boot from USB .iso is with GRUB and it's a bit tricky. | 05:57 |
| Jon- | soudesuka: But probably easier than trying to port a Wubi install | 05:57 |
| AgentGreen | unetboot | 05:57 |
| AgentGreen | works great for usb.iso boot | 05:57 |
| soudesuka | Jon-: not sure I can boot from USB. I'm probably just gonna stick with this the way it is unfortunately... | 05:57 |
| AgentGreen | it comes in a great linux and windows version | 05:57 |
| mkquist | hey all, i dont remember, how to get fsck to run on the filesystem on reboot... any help? | 05:57 |

| BankHead | Is it easier to install ubuntu on a secondary drive? | 05:58 |
| AgentGreen | GeekSquid as quessed checking intregrity Check Finished: no errors found | 05:58 |

| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: backtrack is a dirivitave version that doesn't use the nvidia drivers, I had had problems with 8.10 with nvidia .. I know 8.04 works with nvidia, as does 9.04 .. 8.10 is almost to end of life, where as 8.04 still has a year of support, I digress, but really I'd keep trying ... I have one other option ... in your out of sync press CTRL-ALT-F1 to see if you get into a terminal ... if so login and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 05:59 |
| Blue1 | de nada | 05:59 |
| hipitihop | brjann, np, thanks for assist | 05:59 |
| Jon- | soudesuka: At least take a look at http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=23052 and see if you are successful. If your laptop can boot from USB, this is your best option | 05:59 |
| sloopy | claws, cant know what good is unless you know what bad is... think of those years as a learning exp... | 05:59 |
| * Blue1 wishes he knew more spanish | 05:59 | |
| dsnyders | sloopy, when you have handicap assist on and hold alt it toggles on. If you then press ctrl-backspace to delete a word, you restart X with no opportunity to save your work. | 05:59 |
| knoppies | claws: Linux is free, but only to those who consider their time worthless. | 06:00 |
| AgentGreen | whn it's out of sink I can't ctrl alt f1 to get a terminal | 06:00 |
| AgentGreen | but il try again to make sure | 06:00 |
| ssmy | what is the easiest way to make one of my keys do what another would? at some point ubuntu decided that my right alt key isn't an alt key, and I want it to be. | 06:00 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, apparently it was happening quite a bit. | 06:00 |
| Jon- | Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ [now with updated info if you took a look before] | 06:00 |
| knoppies | claws, welcome though, you will learn that computers as you knew it, are much more powerful than you were aware. | 06:00 |
| claws | sloppy: i see that now :) | 06:00 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, that that soounds like a party in a keystroke :') | 06:00 |
| rikoy | halllooww | 06:00 |
| Blue1 | Jon-: I ran into a similar problem with my hp printer - turned out the printer psc 1310 is NOT a network printer | 06:01 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, I think there are other ALT-Printscreen keystrokes beyond Alt-Printscreen-K to kill x. | 06:01 |
| claws | knoppies: i am already beginning to notice :) | 06:02 |
| mkquist | hey all, i dont remember, how to get fsck to run on the filesystem on reboot... any help? | 06:02 |
| AgentGreen | no luck Geek Squid | 06:02 |
| AgentGreen | :( | 06:02 |
| === tek is now known as Guest3714 | ||
| Jon- | Blue1: I don't imagine it is... I have it hooked up to a Windows PC via USB, the printer shared using Windows 2000 smb. Windows XP and Windows 7 connect and use it fine once pointed in the right direction and given authentication, Ubuntu fails. Any ideas? | 06:02 |
| Skeet | claws, what took you so long? :) | 06:02 |
| * AgentGreen cries | 06:02 | |
| sloopy | dsnyders, yeah back in the mid 90's i used to have a shell running off the serial port on my 68k mac incase the console got too screwed, i could use a terminal to fix it... those were the days /nostalgia | 06:03 |
| Jon- | Blue1: I can use samba to access the drive shares and to see the printer, only when I go to print the printer "rejects" it [spins up like it is preparing to print, and then just stops] | 06:03 |
| claws | skeet: i hate my self for that :P | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | Jon-: private message ok? | 06:04 |
| Skeet | claws, i feel ya pain! | 06:04 |
| claws | skeet: i got a lot of reading left though :) | 06:05 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, I just found a list. The keystroke is called a Magic Sysrq. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 06:05 |
| Skeet | same here claws!! | 06:06 |
| theadmin | Help, i added "alias apache='sudo /home/r00t/httpd/bin/apachectl'", to .bashrc, yet whenever i try "apachestart" it seems to skip the sudo part | 06:07 |
| theadmin | "apache start", i mean | 06:07 |
| hamza | no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility. now im just wondering if it's hopeless and i have to reinstall... | 06:07 |
| GeekSquid | ssmy: your right alt is technically AltGr in ubuntu ... you will need to learn to use xmodmap to remap those keys ... see here http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/xmodmap.1.html | 06:07 |
| dsnyders | Well, goodnight all! | 06:08 |
| Trizicus | In chrome and firefox on every SSL/HTTPS site I go to I always get an untrusted connection warning and I need to manually add the certificate. Does anyone have info about this? | 06:08 |
| sloopy | dsnyders, but that hasnt been enabled on standard kernels for years IIRC | 06:08 |
| AgentGreen | lol my screen saver was kicking in on remix | 06:08 |
| AgentGreen | and I thought I was blacking out or going blind lol | 06:08 |
| GeekSquid | Trizicus: is your time/date/year set correctly? just a thought | 06:08 |

| Jedimestari | acala download thunderbird, ti is better | 06:10 |
| ssmy | GeekSquid: well, it's showing as ISO_Level3_Shift in xev. I was wondering if there was anything newer than xmodmap. guess not. | 06:10 |
| GeekSquid | Trizicus: ask globally , not my bag | 06:11 |
| bullgard | pavucontrol) shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? | 06:11 |
| AgentGreen | geek squid is there anyone i can call tommorow ? | 06:11 |
| dsnyders | sloopy, odd. Perhaps it's only alt-sysrq-k being implemented. | 06:11 |
| bikcmp | Hello, I'm trying to run psybnc, but it says it can't create a listening port. | 06:12 |
| bikcmp | i'm not running as root. | 06:12 |
| bikcmp | what could be the problem? | 06:12 |
| GeekSquid | ssmy: you could use system>preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts and remap the keys you need to make whatever function you need | 06:12 |
| theadmin | Okay, help me out here. I have a script to start the Apache daemon in /etc/init.d, yet it ain't started now (just booted) | 06:13 |
| GeekSquid | AgentGreen: see my pm | 06:13 |
| ssmy | GeekSquid: that doesn't remap a key though, just assign it to a command. | 06:13 |
| AgentGreen | thanks man i see your really busy and I really apreciate it | 06:14 |

| ubuntu | in fact i re-installed grub, on that old paartition, but unfortunately its missing my most important paritions | 06:18 |
| sloopy | theadmin, you need more in the script in init.d, look in the other scripts for examples... | 06:19 |
| ubuntu | that is the options at start up are incomplete | 06:19 |
| mattgyver | anybody know how to prevent wine apps from starting up in the "wine system tray" and just appear in panel? | 06:19 |

| rastasean | as far as vsftpd | 06:23 |
| rastasean | i have even rebooted the machine | 06:24 |
| RPG-Master | So, any help with my predicament? | 06:25 |
| sloopy | RPG-Master, delete everything in there? | 06:25 |
| RPG-Master | sloopy, No, I have gigs of videos, images, and other random stuff strewn across those folders :( | 06:26 |
| Jon- | Printer issue : http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ I've been working at this for a long time guys, please someone give me some assistance =/ | 06:26 |
| sloopy | RPG-Master, they shouldnt be in lost+found... but use the shell to sort/move it... | 06:27 |
| RPG-Master | sloopy, Well, they got moved there after I screwed up and did a fsck | 06:28 |
| RPG-Master | :( | 06:28 |
| becker_11 | this might be a silly question but is a ssh signing key different to a gnupg signing key | 06:28 |
| rww | becker_11: yes | 06:28 |
| becker_11 | rww: that explains my frustration with uploading my key to github | 06:28 |
| sloopy | RPG-Master, honestly if fsck put them there then they are likely to be corrupted... | 06:28 |
| rww | becker_11: which one do you want to make? I can link you to guides for either... | 06:29 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, im not too sure, did you install it from apt? | 06:29 |
| RPG-Master | sloopy, I thought so too, until I found a few folder completely in tact. | 06:29 |
| becker_11 | rww: I need a ssh signing key for github the other key/s I've already got | 06:29 |
| BankHead | Visit -->> #GeneralDiscussion <<-- for fun talk, off topic and more :D | 06:29 |

| rastasean | matt, yes. i've never had a problem turning it on. so this is odd | 06:29 |
| rww | BankHead: Don't advertise channels in here, please. | 06:29 |

| mattgyver | rastasean, yea i never had that problem before with it. I did some searching but im not finding anything like your problem, just config problems | 06:30 |

| rastasean | matt, do i have the start command correct | 06:31 |
| mattgyver | yeah | 06:31 |

| BankHead | Sorry dude | 06:35 |
| Madpilot | BankHead, why did you start in the first place? Unsolicited PMs - not cool. Unsolicited invites - also not cool. Do not use #ubuntu for that sort of thing, please. | 06:35 |
| BankHead | Alright. Sorry. | 06:35 |
| becker_11 | rww: created the key thanks the guide was simple | 06:35 |
| rww | becker_11: awesome :) | 06:36 |
| patrick | what's the preferred method for scheduling a shutdown: "shutdown," "poweroff" or something else? | 06:36 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest78063 | ||
| === Guest78063 is now known as patrick_____ | ||
| RPG-Master | Anymore advice? | 06:36 |
| === Nightwolf42 is now known as Nightwolf | ||
| sloopy | RPG-Master, yeah, get a large cup of coffee ;') | 06:37 |
| becker_11 | patrick_____: I thought the syntax was sudo shutdown -(n) insert whatever time you need there | 06:37 |
| rastasean | does anyone know a program that can monitor all network traffic...not just on the machine program is installed on | 06:37 |
| patrick_____ | becker_11, it is :) I'm just wondering if there's a "nicer" way of doing it (as in, I don't know if the shutdown command does everything that clicking "shutdown" on the gui does) | 06:38 |
| sloopy | rastasean, wireshark | 06:38 |
| brimmin | rastasean: ettercap if MITM is needed | 06:38 |
| dj_segfault1 | rastasean: Wireshark can put the network card in promiscuous mode and do that. | 06:38 |
| rastasean | thanks guys! | 06:39 |
| rastasean | what is MITM? | 06:39 |
| becker_11 | patrick_____: I was just thinking there might be a cron job way to do it say if you needed shutdown at the same time everyday but someelse would have to help with that so far I haven't used cron | 06:39 |
| RPG-Master | slowz,... :( | 06:39 |
| brimmin | man in the middle | 06:39 |
| RPG-Master | poop | 06:39 |
| becker_11 | patrick_____: it probablly does more cause we all know the comamndline rules! :-) | 06:39 |
| dandaman | so i have windows 7 release candidate on my computer(with ubuntu installed from wubi). the release candidate is expiring toinght so if i install a new version of windows 7 will it mess up my linux install? | 06:39 |
| blakkheim | dandaman: yes | 06:40 |
| blakkheim | dandaman: next time don't use wubi | 06:40 |
| Rebelstar | i have ubutnu 9.10.. I just tried to install compizconfig and after checking desktop effects option,, system hangs..even after restart in recovery mode system hangs with startup screen..what can i do..pls help | 06:40 |
| dandaman | blakkheim: so im going to lose everything? | 06:40 |
| patrick_____ | becker_11, hehe, thanks -- although there's another commandline program I know *not* to use called "halt" :P | 06:40 |
| arand | RPG-Master: DO you have any idea as to the cause? I had the whole root fs dumped into lost+found once and I suspect a couple of powerlosses on ext4 might be the cause... | 06:40 |
| blakkheim | dandaman: yeah | 06:40 |
| dandaman | blakkheim: DAMNIT | 06:40 |
| dandaman | blakkheim: maybe just install the new windows on another partition? | 06:40 |
| blakkheim | dandaman: if you would have done a real installation on a partition you wouldn't | 06:40 |
| becker_11 | patrick_____: shame though - less typing | 06:41 |
| RPG-Master | arand, yep power loss :( | 06:41 |
| RPG-Master | arand, Though this is an external HDD | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | dandaman, You can save / transfer your Ubuntu install / data | 06:41 |
| dandaman | Jordan_U: can you talk me through how to do that? | 06:41 |
| bullgard | pavucontrol shows in tabs »Output Devices« and »Input Devices« in in the first line »Internal_Audio_Analog_Stereo«. What does that mean? | 06:41 |
| dj_segfault1 | dandaman: Can you start up Ubuntu and copy the important stuff ov er to external USB drive | 06:41 |
| Blue1 | can a printer using hplip be networked (using samba) between linux and windows? | 06:41 |
| becker_11 | so people is there a way to use cron to schedule shutdown of a linux box at the same time everynight ?? | 06:42 |
| dandaman | dj_segfault1: yeah | 06:42 |
| arand | RPG-Master: Is this on karmic? (Mine happened on jaunty..) | 06:42 |
| Jordan_U | dandaman, I've never used wubi myself but I think so. Do you just want the data or the whole install? | 06:42 |
| dandaman | dj_segfault1: but i dont want to lose all of my installs and settings | 06:42 |
| RPG-Master | arand, Karmic | 06:42 |
| dandaman | like i have some programs installed that i dont want to lose :\ | 06:42 |
| Jon- | Last call before I go to bed: hplip + samba w/ HP F4180 driver + printer connected USB to windows 2000 + HP F4180 printer = only spins up and does not print. What is the issue? | 06:42 |
| dj_segfault1 | becker_11: I haven't tried shutting down from cron, but I can't think why it wouldn't work. | 06:42 |
| RPG-Master | arand: WAIT! I did this screw up through a Parted Magic CD | 06:43 |
| RPG-Master | But I fixing it through my Karmic laptop | 06:43 |
| RPG-Master | *I'm | 06:43 |
| patrick_____ | I'm just going to do sudo shutdown -- that's probably good enough :) | 06:43 |
| muaddib | I was wondering if I could ask a mod_rewrite question | 06:43 |
| becker_11 | dj_segfault1: yeah I've never used cron myself but thought it might provide the answer for patrick_____ | 06:43 |
| muaddib | RewriteRule ^/something$ http://hostname:8080/something/$1 [P] | 06:43 |
| dj_segfault1 | dandaman: There's a web page that describes how to generate a list of all installed programs and then another command to reinstall them on another machine from that list. I don't remember where it is but maybe someone else does | 06:43 |
| muaddib | I am trying to set the above and it doesn't seem to be taking, but I am not sure what I am missing | 06:43 |
| Jordan_U | !clone | dandaman | 06:43 |
| ubottu | dandaman: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 06:43 |
| patrick_____ | muaddib, your name sounds familiar -- is that from Dune? | 06:44 |
| dj_segfault1 | Jordan_U: Thanks | 06:44 |
| dandaman | awesome, thanks | 06:44 |
| muaddib | patrick______ yes | 06:44 |
| Jordan_U | dj_segfault1, You're welcome. | 06:44 |
| RPG-Master | arand, So how did you handle it? | 06:44 |
| * becker_11 on windows I hated doing updates from the MS update site, on linux I get sad when I run apt-get update, apt-get upgrade and there's nothing to install lol | 06:44 | |
| dj_segfault1 | patrick_____: If you put it in root's crontab then you don't need the sudo part. | 06:44 |
| patrick_____ | dj_segfault1, cool, thanks for the tip! | 06:45 |
| mattgyver | dandaman, the other thing you can do is copy your /home directory to usb, most of your application settings are within that folder. | 06:45 |
| Rebelstar | can anybody pls help me out? | 06:45 |
| dj_segfault1 | patrick_____: What time do you want to shut down the box | 06:45 |
| lindzeyn | Quick question. When I boot up, my desktop environment won't load, that is, the desktop icons do not appear and I cannot right click on the Desktop to get the usual gnome display options | 06:45 |
| becker_11 | Rebelstar: don't ask to ask just ask your question | 06:45 |
| mattgyver | like for pidgin all your config settings etc is in /home/.purple | 06:45 |
| Rebelstar | becker_11:sorry i have been asking ? :)..anyway here is it ----------- i have ubutnu 9.10.. I just tried to install compizconfig and after checking desktop effects option,, system hangs..even after restart in recovery mode system hangs with startup screen..what can i do..pls help | 06:46 |
| patrick_____ | dj_segfault1, I don't want it to shutdown at a fixed time every day, just in about 45 minutes from now. So I'm going to do sudo shutdown +45. I thought there might be a "nicer" way to do it though, that's why I asked here :) | 06:46 |
| lindzeyn | Everything else is fine | 06:46 |
| arand | RPG-Master: Hmm, was so heavily corrupted and disorganised so not much to do really, I was able to run photorec, which extraced some files, but it was still a huge mess which I wasn't able to extract much from, luckily I had no really important data stored on there.. | 06:46 |
| Jordan_U | dandaman, You can convert your Wubi install to a "real" install on its own partition ( I know that it's also possible to transfer a wubi install from one windows install to another but I can't give you a guide for that at the moment ) | 06:46 |
| Itadakimasu | im confused... Ubuntu has System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager and then, Applicatioins -> Ubuntu Software Center whats the difference, just personal preference? | 06:47 |
| becker_11 | Rebelstar: that ones above me I'm sorry I haven't used compiz ... can you get to a shell at all? | 06:47 |
| RPG-Master | arand, I guess I'm just going to trudge through the mess then :/ | 06:47 |
| Jon- | Last call before I go to bed [for real this time haha]: hplip + samba w/ HP F4180 driver + printer connected USB to windows 2000 + HP F4180 printer = only spins up and does not print. What is the issue? | 06:47 |
| Jon- | The driver is the f4100 series driver*** | 06:47 |
| dj_segfault1 | patrick_____: Ah sorry I misunderstood. There's also the "at" command to run things in the future, but that probably would have the same effect. | 06:47 |
| Rebelstar | backer_11: in recovery mode i can but i do not know the right commands to solve | 06:47 |
| rww | Itadakimasu: Pretty much. Software Center is newer and more focused towards new users. | 06:47 |
| becker_11 | Itadakimasu: ma and pa will find software center easier snyaptic is more fiddly | 06:47 |
| patrick_____ | dj_segfault1, probably, unless there were a way to call the "shutdown" gui button. Thanks by the way, I'd never heard of "at" | 06:48 |
| Itadakimasu | alright thank you =o) | 06:48 |
| cyberbluntz | I'm trying to get my totem dvd player to work. It says it does not have the appropriate plugins. so i fallow instructions here http://projects.gnome.org/totem/#codecs. and when i get to the gst-plugins-base in the terminal it says package not found | 06:48 |
| fudgey_muffins | anyone recognize this? http://dwarfurl.com/15bac | 06:48 |
| fudgey_muffins | it started popping up all of a sudden | 06:48 |

| becker_11 | Rebelstar: well your on a computer now talking to me so search for the compiz config file in google and when you find it hopefully it will give you the path to the file then just cd to that folder and do nano <nameoffilehere> | 06:49 |

| burkey | running ubuntu 9.10 laptop froze and when i rebooted my tomboy notes are missing. But I can create new tomboy notes | 06:52 |
| azi_ | each time i try to open a media file, totem stops doing what it is currently doing and plays the new media. is there any way I could configure ubutnu to simply start another totem process? | 06:54 |
| dj_segfault1 | azi_: Why not call mplayer directly? Or gmplayer | 06:54 |
| lindzeyn | Quick question. When I boot up, my desktop environment won't load, that is, the desktop icons do not appear and I cannot right click on the Desktop to get the usual gnome display options | 06:54 |
| azi_ | from terminal? | 06:54 |
| rastasean | i am looking for software to control a windows machine on home xp from ubuntu 9.10. any ideas? | 06:54 |
| azi_ | dj_segfault1: i use totem as my default media player for whatever that may be | 06:54 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, you could just use VNC | 06:55 |
| dj_segfault1 | azi_: Yes. Well if totem isn't working the way you want it to, use something that will ;) | 06:55 |
| rastasean | matt, unless i am configuring something wrong, vnc has not worked | 06:55 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, whats happening? (it can be a pain in the butt the first few times to setup) | 06:55 |
| dj_segfault1 | lindzeyn: I would rename (NOT delete) the .gnome, .gnome2, etc directories in your home directory and restart. A config must be broken. | 06:56 |
| cyberbluntz | I guess Ill have to try a diff player | 06:56 |
| rastasean | matt, well which app should i try out? i have tried terminal server client, remote desktop, remote desktop view, krfb, gnome-rpd | 06:56 |
| lindzeyn | dj_segfault1: just rename them to something arbitrary | 06:56 |
| lindzeyn | ? | 06:56 |
| dj_segfault1 | azi_: That's why we have 20 programs that can do the same thing under Linux. Everyone wants something different. | 06:57 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, the best client in my opinion is remmia but you need to make sure the machine you want to connect to is running a configured VNC server | 06:57 |
| dj_segfault1 | lindzeyn: Yes, or move them to another directory temporarily. Either way | 06:57 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, UltraVNC is a great one for windows, pretty easy to setup | 06:57 |
| rastasean | matt, i install ultravnc on windows to be able to control from linux? | 06:58 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, you install UltraVNC as a system service (best way), setup port forwards in your router, and then connect from tsclient or whatever VNC client you wish | 06:58 |
| dj_segfault1 | lindzeyn: For instance, I wrote my own script that looks for all the files in the current directory, randomizes the order, then passes them to mplayer in full screen and OSD start/end times. Because that's what I wanted and I could do it. | 06:58 |
| === becker_11_away is now known as becker_11 | ||
| mattgyver | rastasean, generally the port forwarding is the hardest part :X | 06:59 |
| rastasean | matt, lovely. :) | 06:59 |
| becker_11 | rww: I've entered the pub key into the form on github but it's still processing after about 3 minutes surely it should have gone through or rejected by now? | 07:00 |
| dj_segfault1 | rastasean: Sorry I missed the beginning of your thread, but based on what mattgyver just said, would ssh -X work for you (ssh with automatic port forwarding) | 07:00 |
| rastasean | dj_ could you tell me about ssh-x | 07:01 |
| rww | becker_11: no idea. I've never used github :( | 07:01 |

| mawst | THat can't be right can it? | 07:05 |
| dj_segfault1 | rastasean: ssh to the machine you want to run a program on with the -X parameter, and it automatically forwards the X ports for you. Your X client has to have authentication turned of with "xhost +" so the apps can connect, but then it just plain works. From that ssh shell, you can run Firefox or whatever on the machine you sshed to and it shows up on your computer. | 07:05 |
| === _jastor_ is now known as jastor | ||
| rastasean | dj_excellent! but ssh isn't even enabled on the windows | 07:06 |
| dj_segfault1 | rastasean: Make sure sshd is set up for it: If the ForwardX11 variable is set to “yes” (or see the description of the -X, -x, and -Y options above) and the user is using X11 (the DISPLAY environment variable | 07:06 |
| dj_segfault1 | is set), the connection to the X11 display is automatically forwarded to the remote side in such a way that any X11 programs started from the shell (or command) will | 07:06 |
| dj_segfault1 | go through the encrypted channel, and the connection to the real X server will be made from the local machine. The user should not manually set DISPLAY. Forwarding | 07:06 |
| dj_segfault1 | of X11 connections can be configured on the command line or in configuration files | 07:06 |

| rastasean | rdp/vnc | 07:13 |
| dj_segfault1 | sensae: Yes, that's what I use for my classic 120GB. real syncing, cover art, podcasts, and if you update track information it actually updates the ID3v2 tags in the mp3 files. | 07:13 |

| dj_segfault1 | rastasean: and what isn't working about rdesktop, which is designed to do that? | 07:13 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, i just thought about something. yeah just use RDP to connect to windows it will be wayyyy faster than VNC | 07:13 |
| rastasean | maybe the service is not open on windows but it never connects | 07:14 |

| cyberbluntz | I typed sudo as u can see above | 07:17 |
| rastasean | tsclient is terminal server client, right? | 07:17 |
| mattgyver | rastasean, yea | 07:18 |

| Boots32M | brb | 07:52 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: how your ISP connect you to the internet? static IP? PPPOE? | 07:52 |
| zebastian | DelphiWorld: how do i find this out? | 07:53 |
| zebastian | i am on a cable connection | 07:53 |
| unop | texomobile, upstart replaces sysvinit on ubuntu. | 07:53 |
| unop | !upstart | 07:53 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 07:53 |
| texomobile | super thanks unop found it was looking for a .lst file | 07:53 |
| Whit2spring | flaarg, thx for fast answer | 07:53 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: you use ubuntu? | 07:53 |
| zebastian | yes, i use ubuntu hardy | 07:54 |
| unop | claws_, maybe not a real background but you could set any window on the 'desktop' layer tho. | 07:54 |
| Boots32M | indus, I got a response that says it can't find it, but did point me back to lsusb | 07:54 |
| zebastian | by the way more specifically i have a WRT54G2 V1 router | 07:54 |
| indus | Boots32M, lsusb is a command in the terminal , just type it | 07:54 |
| indus | Boots32M, iam not sure what you mean it cant find it | 07:54 |
| texomobile | unop , I read that about upstart is there a config file for that somewhere? I want to boot into text mode and just run startx when I need it | 07:54 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: reset the router to default config | 07:54 |
| Boots32M | I typed two l's | 07:54 |
| Boots32M | instead of one | 07:55 |
| zebastian | DelphiWorld: how do i do that from ubuntu? you see i set up the router when it had windows | 07:55 |
| Boots32M | I'll paste it again:) | 07:55 |
| zebastian | with the cd | 07:55 |
| Boots32M | brb | 07:55 |
| zebastian | i threw that away when i switched to ubuntu | 07:55 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: and go to your ubuntu shell and type: ifconfig and check your ethernet nic ip | 07:55 |
| unop | texomobile, just disable your display manager from starting up .. simple :) | 07:55 |
| unop | !boot | texomobile | 07:55 |
| ubottu | texomobile: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 07:55 |

| Boots32M | indus, there you go:) http://pastebin.com/ubGBQtgB | 07:56 |
| zebastian | DelphiWorld: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386150/ | 07:56 |
| unop | texomobile, i.e. on debian/ubuntu - all runlevels are the same. there isn't a dedicated graphical runlevel. | 07:56 |
| flaarg | well run level 1 and 0 are kinda different | 07:57 |
| Boots32M | indus, the before and after look the same | 07:57 |
| unop | well yea, runlevels 0, 1 and 6 are different - but 2-5 are the same | 07:57 |
| zebastian | DelphiWorld: by the way i did see this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1230662 and of course thats impossible as i dont have a windows computer anymore, i am a happy ubuntu user | 07:57 |
| Boots32M | I need something that can give my usb system a jolt:) | 07:58 |
| indus | Boots32M, tell me what company drive is this? | 07:58 |
| texomobile | Great thanks again, for you quick help! now if I could only get nvidia to suport my dual monitor setup (one portrait one landscape) I would be cooking!! | 07:58 |
| Boots32M | cruzer | 07:58 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: i think your ip is public, wait | 07:58 |
| indus | Boots32M, works in windows?seems like a pen driver problem? | 07:58 |
| indus | pen drive problem i mean | 07:58 |

| Boots32M | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1384743 | 07:59 |
| claws_ | unop: not sure what you mean | 07:59 |
| Boots32M | In windows works all the time | 07:59 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: have you configured your ip in the router or no? | 07:59 |
| DelphiWorld | zebastian: and your ip is static or dynamic? | 08:00 |
| Boots32M | Its just that after I startup windows I don't want to go back to ubuntu because after I shut windows down hadies freezes over.... | 08:00 |
| indus | Boots32M, thats a webcam thread isnt it | 08:01 |
| zebastian | DelphiWorld: i dont know if my ip is static or dynamic, i pay the cable company as far that goes,,,never had to deal with htis before, pardon my ignorance, and i had configured the router on the same computer, but with windows and a gui install cd | 08:01 |
| Boots32M | For my computer the internal webcam is on the usb system | 08:01 |
| Boots32M | I figured that out when I did the lsusb thing | 08:01 |
| Boots32M | so its a usb problem still | 08:01 |
| indus | Boots32M, seems like a faulty usb connector on the motherboard? | 08:02 |
| indus | Boots32M, the usb headers which connect to the ports i mean | 08:02 |
| indus | Boots32M, cant really tell without looking at teh motherboard | 08:02 |
| unop | claws_, an X window can be set on a particular layer i.e. normal, top, below, desktop, dock, etc. read up on wmctrl (1) and window layers. | 08:02 |
| Boots32M | indus, is the usb system a token ring type deal? | 08:02 |
| indus | Boots32M, token ring? wjhats taht | 08:03 |
| DeltaLima28 | token ring has to deal with networking | 08:03 |
| Boots32M | Well the word serial part implies it, but I wonder if thats it | 08:03 |
| zebastian | help anyone? | 08:04 |
| Boots32M | token ring networks are done in a serial fashion so if you break the line at any point on the network everything stops | 08:04 |
| claws_ | unop: thank you.. im on it :) | 08:04 |
| Boots32M | old old unix system I worked with a while back | 08:04 |
| Boots32M | the only thing I remember from those times is that there's a difference between ls and dir | 08:05 |
| chonkas | can ne one help me? | 08:06 |
| Boots32M | I was just wondering if usb connectors were all serial not unto the motherboard but with respect to each other.. | 08:06 |
| zebastian | help, my internet connection seems to work fine when i plug the cable directly to my laptop but if i try to use the linksys cisco router both the wired and wireless connection dont seem to work, even when i login succesfully i cant seem to get any good connection and wicd displays it as 100% connected | 08:06 |

| inja | ok | 08:07 |
| natethegreat1419 | Hello you all | 08:07 |
| inja | still here | 08:07 |
| X-Frog | where can find whats new in the next release 10.04 | 08:08 |
| Pirate | hi | 08:08 |
| Pirate | anyone feeling chatty? | 08:08 |
| Boots32M | Zebastian, your problem can probably be fixed by turning off your cable modem , and router, wating ten seconds then turning on cable modem, wait 30sec, then turn on your router. | 08:08 |
| natethegreat1419 | Who is interested in how 10.4 will turn out? | 08:08 |
| Madpilot | X-Frog, join #ubuntu+1 for 10.04 news & chat | 08:08 |
| Flannel | X-Frog: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha3 | 08:08 |
| Pirate | 10.4 what's so special about that one? | 08:08 |
| zebastian | Boots32M: for how long will you be on? | 08:09 |
| zebastian | i already tried that a couple times | 08:09 |
| natethegreat1419 | It is long term | 08:09 |
| Boots32M | wow its already 309 here... I'll be on for 45 minutes | 08:09 |
| X-Frog | Madpilot, ty | 08:09 |
| X-Frog | Flannel, ty | 08:09 |
| solid_liquid | I have to say, the daily build of ubuntu 10.04 is surprisingly stable | 08:09 |
| zebastian | Boots32M: ill try and do waht you tell me and come back | 08:10 |
| Anvoid | uptime gives me 5 users. how do i log off the other tty1,2,...? | 08:10 |
| syva | hey guys, i have a problem using the livecd. After a random amount of time my monitor goes blank, the button flashes, as if it as lost signal to the video card. Although I can tell the live cd hasnt crashed or anything. Any ideas? | 08:10 |
| natethegreat1419 | I hope that they dont change how 10.4 looks compared to the others | 08:10 |
| Boots32M | good luck... if that doesn't work download the manual and look at the troubleshooting section:) | 08:10 |
| syva | sometimes it will happen after 20 seconds of using the live cd,sometimes after 4 minutes | 08:10 |
| natethegreat1419 | Like with 8.04 it had a bunch of issues especially with pulse | 08:10 |
| evilGUI | I'm having a problem when I drag a file to the desktop or another folder it disappears, I have to use f5 to do a refresh to be able to see it. Any idea on what's going on here? I've already trashed my gnome config files and the Nautilus ones. | 08:11 |
| Boots32M | zeb you gotta restart your computer too in the whole process | 08:11 |
| solid_liquid | natethegreat1419, it looks very similar | 08:11 |
| natethegreat1419 | Does it? | 08:11 |
| solid_liquid | natethegreat1419, I've been running it since Friday because it's the only distro that works with the gpu integrated into the core i5 processor on my new laptop | 08:12 |
| natethegreat1419 | Nice.... I would like to have a better processor in the computers I use | 08:12 |
| solid_liquid | yeah, it's SWEET | 08:12 |
| solid_liquid | everything responds almost instantly | 08:12 |
| solid_liquid | there's really no lag in the desktop experience | 08:13 |
| natethegreat1419 | I bet it does. That would be perfect for me usin AVIdemux and such | 08:13 |
| solid_liquid | yeah, transcoding video is definitely faster | 08:13 |
| solid_liquid | I've already tried some | 08:14 |
| natethegreat1419 | I bet it is | 08:14 |
| chu_ | Hey guys, anyone know how to change the default login status with Pidgin? I'd like to login by default to invisible (MSN) if possible... | 08:14 |
| natethegreat1419 | LOL | 08:14 |
| klxklx | will ubuntu 10.04 upgrade when gnome 3.0 realease? | 08:14 |
| solid_liquid | chu_, you're still using pidgin? | 08:14 |
| solid_liquid | 10.04 won't have gnome 3.0 | 08:14 |
| chu_ | Yes, yes I am solid_liquid | 08:14 |
| zebastian_ | Boots32M: seemed to work, now how would i go about opening the connection | 08:15 |
| solid_liquid | chu_, have you tried Epiphany yet? | 08:15 |
| zebastian_ | so that i dont have to type a password anymore | 08:15 |
| solid_liquid | chu_, it's the new default IM client for 10.04 | 08:15 |
| chu_ | solid_liquid: briefly, but I wasn't a fan. | 08:15 |
| chu_ | Yeah, it was default for karmic too | 08:15 |
| solid_liquid | hmm | 08:15 |
| sash_ | solid_liquid: for 9.10 you mean | 08:15 |
| Boots32M | Well you can use mac address security... | 08:15 |
| Boots32M | do you know how to do that? | 08:15 |
| solid_liquid | sash_, I never used 9.10. I like LTS releases, so I'm still running 8.04 on my desktop | 08:15 |
| natethegreat1419 | You probably mean empathy LOL | 08:16 |
| solid_liquid | lol okay yeah | 08:16 |
| klxklx | will ubuntu 10.04 upgrade when gnome 3.0 realease? | 08:16 |
| sash_ | and this ;) | 08:16 |
| chu_ | Oh well, I understood what he meant. | 08:16 |
| solid_liquid | like I said, I just installed this version on Friday | 08:16 |
| solid_liquid | klxklx, no | 08:16 |
| Flannel | klxklx: No, 10.04 won't have gnome 3 | 08:16 |
| Paddy_NI | klxklx: Highly unlikely | 08:16 |
| natethegreat1419 | I am talking to someone that has a 5.04 machine still running | 08:17 |
| chu_ | Actually, empathy is still installed, I'll have a look at it. | 08:17 |
| Boots32M | zebastian_, are you using your hard line or wireless from your cisco router? | 08:17 |
| titan_ark | Hey! I am in a bit of a trouble. I changed some code in 2 files and saved em by the old name! Is there a way to recover the old files? I edited them in gedit =( | 08:17 |
| chu_ | How do I change anything with Empathy? | 08:18 |
| zebastian_ | Boots32M: what you recommended worked, i am on the wireless from the cisco router | 08:18 |
| Boots32M | ok well you need to log into your router and either make yours an open connection, or use mac address security in order to not use a password anymore... | 08:19 |
| natethegreat1419 | titan-ark look for a back-up file looking for a ~ in the name | 08:19 |
| zebastian_ | Boots32M: how do i log into my router from ubuntu? i am sorry for my ignorance but when i installed the thing i was on windows and it was pretty much click on a gui cd-rom | 08:20 |
| chu_ | Wow, invisible buttons ftw! | 08:20 |
| titan_ark | natethegreat1419, i do see 2 files with the same name with a trailing ~, how do i recover them? | 08:20 |
| Boots32M | I don't think you can log on from ubuntu.. wait lemme check real quick | 08:20 |
| solid_liquid | heh | 08:20 |
| solid_liquid | zebastian_, use your web browser to surf to 192.168.1.1 | 08:21 |
| natethegreat1419 | Open them back up like that | 08:21 |
| solid_liquid | zebastian_, or perhaps 192.168.2.1 | 08:21 |
| titan_ark | zebastian_, what exactly are you trying to do? just get into its default IP depending on the brand | 08:21 |
| solid_liquid | zebastian_, look at your computer's IP address to determine what the second to last digit is | 08:21 |
| hexdump | Hi all I have a continual problem with installing java. | 08:22 |
| titan_ark | natethegreat1419, i am a noob in linux, could you tell me how exactly? I do not want to damage it trying to open without doing it right, | 08:22 |
| jastor | someone that knows if theres a taskbar/desktop widget or something that enables/disables X systems default system quickkeys? dont like the whole "take precedence over quickkeys you intend to send to the terminal window, so theyre sent to Gnome/KDE instead" | 08:22 |
| Boots32M | Well I can't log on to mine from ubuntu... but maybe thats because I'm wireless.. I would probably have to hardwire my computer into the cicso router to log into it... | 08:22 |
| hexdump | getting the exec 48 java not found | 08:22 |
| hexdump | and java problems with azureus | 08:22 |
| nomad77 | zebastian_: try firefox,url http://192.168.1.1/ skip userfield, password field default admin iirc | 08:22 |
| natethegreat1419 | copy and paste to another location and then opening it there so you dont mess with another file | 08:23 |
| titan_ark | natethegreat1419, cool will try iy | 08:23 |
| natethegreat1419 | let me know if it works | 08:23 |
| solid_liquid | nomad77, that's actually very much dependent on the brand of router, and in some cases, the specific model from that brand | 08:23 |
| allen | hi | 08:23 |
| allen | again | 08:23 |
| allen | :D | 08:23 |
| hexdump | is there a way to totally remove java from my machine? | 08:23 |
| thianpa | Dont know if this is the right place. Anyone knows where i can fin rar archiver GUI ? | 08:24 |
| nomad77 | solid_liquid: i have linksys also. but figured it might be same | 08:24 |
| jastor | seems an old bug is back btw :P ... did some updating earlier and: mplayer: undefined symbol: codec_wav_tabs | 08:24 |
| solid_liquid | nomad77, it varies a lot, even from one linksys to another | 08:24 |
| Boots32M | I got a motorola guess what the default password is:) | 08:24 |
| nomad77 | solid_liquid: noted but he didn't check linksys site/manual,etc. | 08:25 |
| hexdump | try this http://www.routerpasswords.com/ | 08:25 |

| Boots32M | they actually do | 08:25 |
| allen | are they any good? | 08:26 |
| solid_liquid | yeah, and they make cablemodems too | 08:26 |
| hexdump | don't they make cable modems too | 08:26 |
| hexdump | ha | 08:26 |
| solid_liquid | my motorola cablemodem is rocks solid :D | 08:26 |
| Boots32M | is there an echo in here | 08:26 |

| FloodBot2 | Boots32M: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:26 |
| allen | I've always thought that motorolla was a cellphone-only company because I've only heard of motorolla cellphones and nothing else | 08:26 |
| hexdump | echo off | 08:26 |
| solid_liquid | Boots32M, in her... ? I don't think I'll go there ;) | 08:26 |
| Boots32M | :) | 08:26 |
| solid_liquid | allen, did you not know that they're more of a chipmaker than anything else? | 08:27 |
| hexdump | but hey does anyone know how to fix my little java prob? | 08:27 |
| opossum_oisif | hi, what is the equivalent of tracker (file indexing) for karmic? | 08:27 |
| solid_liquid | although they created the "Freescale Semiconductor" name now for their chip making child company | 08:27 |
| allen | hexdump can't you just add/remove java? I'm an ubunut noob so I'm just guessing | 08:28 |
| titan_ark | natethegreat1419, it worked! thanks a bunch! | 08:28 |
| hexdump | allen: nope tried it | 08:28 |
| natethegreat1419 | Awesome I will tell the person that gave me the answer that is worked glad to hear | 08:28 |
| hexdump | uninstalled it, removed directories installed java5 then updated to 6 to try to get it work and nothing | 08:28 |
| hexdump | It must be a problem with the path | 08:28 |
| Boots32M | you know there's a calculator out there that I got recently that installs java so it can run on that.. even gave the java its own icon... | 08:29 |
| hexdump | what about environmental variables? | 08:29 |
| solid_liquid | allen, too many things depend on java I think | 08:29 |
| titan_ark | natethegreat1419, :) thank you and your friend! saved my old code and all info! I wouldve been in deep sh** | 08:29 |
| tomatoes7__ | anyone know a chat channel for electronic frontier foundation? (off hand) | 08:29 |

| opossum_oisif | why does tracker not supported anymore? | 08:32 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, yeah, use the 'date' command | 08:33 |
| hexdump | I'm installing the damn thing again. trial and error I guess. | 08:33 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, look at the manpage for it to see how to format the output from it the way you want | 08:33 |

| hexdump | well I cchanged the install path from /usr/local to /usr/java hopefully that does it | 08:40 |
| sercik | the installer don't see my partitions on disk | 08:40 |
| sercik | gparted detects correctly | 08:40 |
| sercik | someone can help? | 08:40 |
| sercik | maybe is there another way to install? | 08:41 |
| 20QAABM2D | wat | 08:41 |
| hexdump | if somebody knows the answer they will blurt it out | 08:41 |
| ddavids | i just pasted something using the pastebin but im not sure if anybody sees it here? | 08:41 |
| Pierreb | you have to paste the url here | 08:41 |
| rww | allen: hold down Alt and press the number corresponding to the window, or press Escape then press the button. E.g., Alt-4 switches to window 4. | 08:42 |
| rww | allen: and act stands for active :) | 08:42 |

| solid_liquid | titan_ark, save that list and work your way through it | 08:44 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, :) sure thanks | 08:44 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, I've written an article on scp and one on ls here: http://solid.linux-coders.org/ | 08:44 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, you really should read the one on 'ls' at least; it shows how much more sophisticated ls is than dir | 08:44 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, and provides some very useful insight I think into using the shell period | 08:45 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, damn the # of languages i need to know! c c++ java assembly vhdl verilog perl and now unix too :D | 08:45 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, hmmm i sure will | 08:45 |
| inja | what program do i need to add to have a sidebar? | 08:45 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, btw i am part of a LUG at my school, do check lug-sjsu.org and give your comments. we would like to learn more and educate many more about Linux and FOSS | 08:47 |
| ddavids | pls i need help http://paste.ubuntu.com/386172/ | 08:47 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, you'll find it's fairly easy to pick up. Linux is based on Unix, and Unix was written by the same guys who wrote C, so it's actually very similar | 08:48 |
| Gheddy_Zarc | hey is it possible if Im loading a package by hand like 40 or 50 files in bits, that I may have to reload one file more than once ? Im trying to load a heap of .debs according to dependencies and synaptic wont find the CD drive as a repo eh | 08:48 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, k, going there | 08:48 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, cool, okay | 08:48 |
| hexdump | whoo hoo!! just figured out an easy fix for the java not found problem | 08:50 |
| hexdump | heh heh it was just calling the wrong directory by default | 08:51 |
| sercik | thank you for help :( | 08:51 |
| sercik | i solved myself giving dmraid -ay before starts ubiauity | 08:51 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, oh, you may also want to look through the scripts section. Several scripts I wrote plus a couple dozen contributed by others are up there. The bash scripts can teach you some nice tricks for using the shell | 08:52 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, surely will have bookmarked and will go through it in time. too much to digest for a n00b at a time | 08:53 |
| solid_liquid | heh :) | 08:53 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, unfortunately I haven't taken the time to write all the articles I wanted to write, just a couple, but hopefully there's enough useful info there to help you out | 08:54 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, :) | 08:54 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, in the "What's this Linux thing" part you might also want to mention all the cellphones out there running Linux (apparently it's most of them now) | 08:55 |

| hexdump | is it in /etc/init.d/skeleton or something? | 08:57 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, sure, thanks will tell my buddy to add it | 08:57 |
| solid_liquid | titan_ark, np | 08:58 |
| kaytortuga | Help. I have a desktop that use to boot just fine. And now after a reboot it says it waits for root file system, then can't find the disk. | 08:58 |
| kaytortuga | I'm dropped into a busybox shell | 08:58 |
| kaytortuga | but I have no editor... | 08:58 |
| kaytortuga | I think the uuid of the disk changed. | 08:58 |
| kaytortuga | so that now in /boot/grub/menu.lst the uuid is wrong | 08:59 |
| kaytortuga | how do I change the root file system mapping to point to the /dev/sda2 | 08:59 |
| kaytortuga | rather than the uuid? | 08:59 |
| frankS2 | is there any way to display what files a deb package installed? | 09:00 |
| titan_ark | solid_liquid, ttyl assignments to do before i crash and an early monday! thx once a gain | 09:00 |
| yeiks | I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it b4 bt wld like to kno au good it is | 09:01 |
| crawler | frankS2: when you open the .deb in gdebi it tells you what files are included | 09:01 |
| arand | kaytortuga: use a liveCD to chroot and "update-grub" | 09:02 |
| arand | kaytortuga: or actually probably grub-install is what you want.. | 09:03 |
| yofel | frankS2: 'dpkg -L <packagename>' | 09:03 |
| yofel | frankS2: in a terminal | 09:03 |
| TecR0c | how do you check what is your default shell? | 09:03 |
| TecR0c | in the terminal | 09:03 |
| solid_liquid | TecR0c, cat /etc/passwd | grep yourusername | 09:03 |
| ardchoille | Technoviking: echo $SHELL | 09:04 |
| jalal | hi | 09:04 |
| TecR0c | thanks ard | 09:04 |
| ardchoille | yw | 09:04 |
| solid_liquid | ardchoille, not necessarily | 09:04 |
| solid_liquid | TecR0c, /etc/passwd is where the default shell is set, so it's where you should check | 09:04 |
| solid_liquid | TecR0c, and if you want to change it, you change that file | 09:04 |
| TecR0c | ok thanks | 09:05 |
| ardchoille | Technoviking: the SHELL variable holds your current shell, so echo $SHELL will suffice | 09:05 |
| solid_liquid | TecR0c, np | 09:05 |
| solid_liquid | ardchoille, unless you've run a different shell | 09:05 |
| yeiks | I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it before bt wld like to kno au good it is | 09:05 |
| TecR0c | so its /bin/csh thanks | 09:05 |
| ardchoille | solid_liq: cat /etc/passwd | grep yourusername returns nothing here | 09:05 |
| TecR0c | ard you have to be root | 09:06 |
| sash_ | useless use of cat | 09:06 |
| ardchoille | TecR0c: shouldn't ne4ed root for that | 09:06 |
| sash_ | grep yourname /etc/passwd | 09:06 |
| solid_liquid | TecR0c, oh yeah, because it takes root privs to work with that file. I forgot about that heh | 09:06 |
| solid_liquid | sash_, yeah, I said that ;) | 09:06 |
| rww | /etc/passwd doesn't require root privileges to read. | 09:07 |
| ardchoille | rww: correct | 09:07 |
| sash_ | nope, its readable for everyone | 09:07 |
| sash_ | exactly | 09:07 |
| solid_liquid | ardchoille, it's perms aren't necessarily the default perms of Ubuntu... it sounds like he's not working with ubuntu | 09:07 |
| ardchoille | TecR0c: which versionof ubuntu are you using? | 09:07 |
| solid_liquid | if csh is the default shell, it sounds more like he's on Unix | 09:07 |
| TecR0c | ard actually im using freebsd | 09:08 |
| TecR0c | but i knew the concept would be the same | 09:08 |
| TecR0c | =] | 09:08 |
| solid_liquid | yep, Unix ;) | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | TecR0c: then you shouldn't be inhere asking bsd support | 09:08 |
| ardchoille | solid_liq: good call | 09:08 |
| hexdump | where do I place my program to launch on startup? | 09:08 |
| solid_liquid | I've only ever seen csh as a default shell on unix boxes | 09:08 |
| hexdump | not boot but login | 09:08 |
| TecR0c | i can leave if u wish | 09:08 |
| solid_liquid | hexdump, to your desktop? | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | hexdump: System > Preferences > Startup applications | 09:09 |
| demonspork | hexdump, System>Preferences>Startup Applications | 09:09 |
| demonspork | oh | 09:09 |
| demonspork | nice | 09:09 |
| demonspork | lol | 09:09 |
| solid_liquid | good, I didn't have to type all that :) | 09:09 |
| FloodBot2 | demonspork: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | TecR0c: just know that this channel is for ubuntu support only | 09:09 |
| solid_liquid | that's why I stalled ;) | 09:09 |
| hnsr | guys, something weird just happened | 09:09 |
| ardchoille | solid_liquid: hehe | 09:09 |
| demonspork | hnsr, I know, I tried to watch that big fight up in canada, but for some reason a hockey game happened instead | 09:10 |
| hnsr | i have ubuntu on my laptop, and I use ssh key auth for everything, but suddenly my private keyfile on my laptop had all permission bits set (777,rwxrwxrwx) | 09:10 |
| hnsr | demonspork, :p | 09:10 |
| hexdump | I'm using Xubuntu is there a way to access it through the shell? | 09:10 |
| hnsr | ssh complained loudly, thankfully | 09:10 |
| hnsr | but I wonder how the heck it even got that way | 09:10 |
| ardchoille | hexdump: you need to ask in #xubuntu | 09:10 |
| yeiks | I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v neva used it b4 bt wld like to kno au good it is | 09:11 |
| solid_liquid | hnsr, that's very hard to diagnose unless you can go through everything you did between when you know it wasn't that way and when it was | 09:11 |
| Myrtti | hexdump: it's different in xubuntu | 09:11 |
| solid_liquid | hnsr, which... is still a lot of work | 09:11 |
| hexdump | ah okie thanks though now I know for ubuntu. thanks for the help | 09:11 |
| Myrtti | hexdump: applications - settings - sessions and startup | 09:11 |
| sash_ | hnsr: grep chmod ~/.bash_history | 09:11 |
| hnsr | solid_liquid, hmm, yeah I suppose you're right, it mustve happened in the last hour though since I sshed to my server not too long ago without problems | 09:12 |
| hnsr | I do remember one thing, I did 'sudo apt-get install traceroute', and then I got some kind of popup about an authentication issue with updating the apt package lists, or something along those lines | 09:12 |
| yeiks | nobody seems to want to answer my question | 09:12 |
| solid_liquid | hnsr, hmm | 09:13 |
| hnsr | I then clicked uhm.. something, i think it had a button saying 'check' and it asked my user password (i.e. like when you need to reaise priveleges for updating software), and then I just let it do its thing | 09:13 |
| hnsr | though I'm not sure what it was actually doing, as I was in a hurry to get on with debugging my network :/ | 09:14 |
| solid_liquid | yeiks, this isn't a "texting channel"... you might try typing like a normal human being ;) | 09:14 |
| ardchoille | sash_: actually I think "history | grep foo" would be better in case something has yet to be written to ~/.bash_history | 09:15 |
| hexdump | thanks now I have to fix the ps3 media server java not found again pfff figures. figure one thing out another thing fails. | 09:15 |
| sash_ | ardchoille: yep | 09:15 |
| solid_liquid | hexdump, heh | 09:15 |
| hnsr | anyay, paranoid mode is now set to 'off' and I'll just assume this was something innocent, just wanted to bring it up here incase someone else got something like this :p | 09:16 |
| solid_liquid | hnsr, I think it was unique to you. I use ssh all the time, and haven't seen that problem | 09:18 |
| hnsr | solid_liquid, yeah, it's just weird since it mustve been some other tool/app/thing that changed the permissions on my key, and I guess it would be interesting to find out what and why, sadly my bash_history file doesn't reveal anything :/ | 09:19 |
| solid_liquid | hnsr, yep. That's about the only thing I'd really like to see changed about how shells in Linux work, but it's so difficult to come up with an elegant way to have separate history files for different terminals without having a massive blowup in the number of files saved for that purpose | 09:21 |
| inja | can i run xfire on ubuntu? | 09:21 |

| solid_liquid | Quan-Time, and all the native ftp programs? or just haven't found ones you like yet? | 09:25 |

| ardchoille | ddavids: but update-manager -d = Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible | 09:26 |

| solid_liquid | I think Lucid is a very good name for 10.04 I have to say | 09:31 |

| others | hey can anybody help me with this...i recently installed kubuntu but i couldn't login to my account . | 09:36 |
| solid_liquid | Guest94909, that's just because Linux is unfamiliar to you right now. You still need to learn the names of the programs we use in Linux, and learn your way around. It's kinda like moving into a new house. You'll bump into a few walls in the dark at night, but you'll adjust soon enough | 09:36 |
| ardchoille | others: you need to ask in #kubuntu | 09:36 |
| Guest94909 | well its getting easyer, i like alot of things just ease of use is fun | 09:36 |

| Zus | arand, are they specifically personal pgp keys or would a "specific" team have one how do they work? | 09:48 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: done | 09:50 |

| ddavids | ardchoille: there's no file to save... | 09:52 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: sudo apt-get update | 09:53 |
| solid_liquid | ddavids, ignore that saving part ;) | 09:53 |
| ddavids | it was a silent action | 09:53 |
| ardchoille | yeah, that's an old habit of mine | 09:53 |

| Nuf881 | I have this strange problem where my wireless won't connect to any open networks, only encrypted ones. Any hints? | 09:55 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, that's actually easiest to do on Fedora... you might want to try that first to see how it works in Fedora (or CentOS) to get your starting point | 09:55 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: ok - http://paste.ubuntu.com/386203/ | 09:55 |
| arand | Zus: Not completely sure, but I think everyone has a personal key, and if say, a team creates a ppa which has another associated key, the LP system will automatically accept all team-members' keys and re-sign with the ppa-key when any one of the mebers upload to the PPA (not sure, but I think that's how it works..) | 09:56 |
| adri_ | Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 9.19 on a laptop (Asus M70sa) and the screen is extremely dim. Power management options have no effect. I tried to manually edit /sys/class/acpi_video0/brightness but it did not work. | 09:57 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: Is this from a new install or an upgrade from a previous release? | 09:57 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: would Fedora work on a P2 with 128MB Ram ? I was thinking about Xubuntu | 09:57 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, uh... an older version would for sure. I'm not sure about the current ones | 09:58 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: it's a new install but i gave it out to a friend and i guess he must have tampered wt it... | 09:58 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: that's the challenge, if this works they might install Linux on alot of workstations instead of their Windows or OpenSolaris (which doesn't work on the domain for now) | 09:58 |
| Zus | arand, thanks... | 09:58 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: Can you run this command for me please: lsb_release -r | 09:58 |
| hatten_ | test, anybody sees this? | 09:59 |
| ardchoille | yes | 09:59 |
| crawler | adri_: try this command: echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ls_switch | 09:59 |
| Callum__ | hatten_: coming through fine =) | 09:59 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, it'll work. I was just talking to a friend of mine who works for Wolfram (makers of Mathematica) yesterday, and he told me they're all Linux there and use Fedora because it's the easiest to get working on the domain | 09:59 |

| Arma_ | PingFloyd: I was considering it too, solid_liquid yes it is lxde GUI | 10:01 |
| hatten_ | Nobody knows how to connect to the internet through the cli here? | 10:01 |

| hatten_ | wires | 10:01 |
| hexdump | ah ha! I finally fixed everything! | 10:01 |
| PingFloyd | solid_liquid: it uses lxde for the desktop environment | 10:01 |
| psycho_oreos | I don't think lubuntu is out yet, although its available as a virtual package in the repo but it won't be out till lucid is officially out I think | 10:01 |
| hatten_ | faileas: wires | 10:01 |
| hexdump | just had to get that out sorry | 10:01 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: ok, what is happening is that you are getting a GPG error on a repo that was installed when you installed the system. Someone somehow mucked something up. I'd get hold of that friend and ask him what he did. | 10:01 |
| djoef | Hi, a few days ago, I upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10. Suddenly I get this warning at startup, saying my hard disk has a big amount of bad sectors. By reading some forums the best thing to do seemed to download the diagnostics software from the hardware supplier (samsung in my case) which just completed a full test with no errors. | 10:01 |
| crawler | adri_: not that i know of. you'll have to run that every boot, i believe. should be easy enough though | 10:02 |
| solid_liquid | hatten_, just connect to the network with internet access | 10:02 |
| djoef | What should I believe, and If its samsungs tool, how to remove the error in ubuntu ? | 10:02 |
| solid_liquid | PingFloyd, hmm, I didn't know that flavor existed | 10:02 |
| faileas | hatten : ifconfig and pastebin what's there. If you need a browser... w3m is the 'easy' one. lynx is more popular tho | 10:02 |
| adri_ | crawler, ok I'll just put something in init.d. | 10:02 |
| PingFloyd | solid_liquid: I think it is still just a virtual package right now | 10:02 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: would you like me to walk you through returning your sources.list to the original? | 10:02 |
| Arma_ | djoef: it might be either logical or physical you should know which first | 10:02 |
| faileas | djoef: tried running fsck? | 10:02 |
| crawler | adri_: ok, good luck xD | 10:02 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: yes pls... | 10:02 |
| PingFloyd | solid_liquid: the plan is to make it a distro though | 10:02 |
| rww | a preliminary version of lubuntu is in Ubuntu 9.10's metaverse repository | 10:02 |
| solid_liquid | faileas, I think links is much better than lynx. lynx is ancient and crusty | 10:02 |
| faileas | lol | 10:03 |
| solid_liquid | PingFloyd, I've never even tried lxde | 10:03 |
| djoef | faileas, I didn't because I did the samsungs diagnostic test. I don't want to remap things and mess my drive up, if its not necessary ;) | 10:03 |
| faileas | solid_liquid: i prefer w3m | 10:03 |
| faileas | ;p | 10:03 |
| solid_liquid | faileas, I like w3m too | 10:03 |
| === Termana_n810 is now known as Guest38942 | ||
| PingFloyd | I used to run lxde on debian on my old PII, it ran pretty nicely | 10:03 |
| djoef | Arma_, how should I check for this ? | 10:03 |
| Arma_ | PingFloyd: or I can just install Xubuntu and then install LXDE nothing will change, that's not the problem I have, the main problem is making a Linux OS work on a P2 and hook it up to a windows domain controller | 10:03 |
| hatten_ | solid_liquid: faileas w8 a second, booting | 10:03 |
| faileas | djoef: if its a FS issue... you'd prolly not have it caufht by said tool | 10:03 |
| PingFloyd | Arma_: yeah, that is probably your best route | 10:04 |
| Arma_ | djoef: <faileas> djoef: tried running fsck? | 10:04 |
| djoef | faileas, FS ? | 10:04 |

| psycho_oreos | djoef, filesystem | 10:04 |
| Arma_ | and I would prefer Ubuntu over Fedora | 10:04 |
| djoef | psycho_oreos, thank you :) | 10:04 |
| faileas | what psycho_oreos said | 10:04 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: open a terminal and do: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.backup /etc/apt/sources.list | 10:04 |
| andrew__ | ZOMG FEDORA HATS | 10:04 |
| Arma_ | but if there is no way to do but on Fedora then Fedora it is I guess | 10:04 |
| psycho_oreos | djoef, np | 10:04 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, it can be done on Ubuntu too, it's just more work | 10:05 |
| p1oooop1 | hey guys | 10:05 |
| adri_ | Is there a way to track changes to the Ubuntu system and store them somewhere? I'm about to add a script to init.d. If I ever re-install Ubuntu I will have to search for the fix again and install the script again. Is there a tool that automates this? | 10:05 |

| Arma_ | solid_liquid: work is no problem I have 4 months to finish this project | 10:05 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: done | 10:05 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, Fedora was made to do that easily. You'll probably just need to write a script or something for Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is obviously a much nicer choice for a desktop distro | 10:05 |
| faileas | adri_: not as far as i know. that's one reason i document my changes in a wiki ;p | 10:06 |
| djoef | faileas, Arma_ , So even with the samsung diagnostic tool saying there is no error, you would recommend me to check with fsck right ? | 10:06 |
| hatten_ | faileas: yeah, ifconfig says no ip, only inet addr and mask, and some other stuff | 10:06 |
| ardchoille | ddavids: I'm sorry I wasn't able to fix this problem for you, but keep asking in here and someone should be able to help | 10:06 |

| p1oooop1 | perhaps my ALSA drivers aren;t working right? | 10:07 |
| faileas | hatten_: it should be eth0 or eth1 - ifconfig should have output it | 10:07 |
| mjrosenb | because apt/synaptic does not seem to have anything for 3.6.31.* | 10:07 |

| hatten_ | faileas: in ifconfig? linnk encap, inet addr, mask, rx/tx packets, mtu, metric, rx/tx bytes | 10:09 |
| p1oooop1 | solid_liquid: I agree, wouldn't it really make a difference? | 10:09 |
| ddavids | ardchoille: i guessed as much | 10:09 |
| faileas | hatten_: all the way left | 10:09 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: yup, and LDAP does not help cause I wont have a linux server, they have a windows server | 10:09 |

| ardchoille | ddavids: I'm sure it is, I just don't know how | 10:10 |
| mjrosenb | rww: sweet. | 10:10 |
| faileas | hatten_: look for lines starting with *-network | 10:10 |
| Arma_ | and it would also be more professional if I make a workstation that can download updates and stuff and give them to the clients instead of each one downloading it alone and installing apart which will save bandwidth | 10:10 |
| ddavids | nay body help, someone has messed up wt my keyrings (it seems) and now i cant update wtout errors. | 10:10 |
| p1oooop1 | p1oooop get off... :P | 10:10 |

| ikonia | p1oooop1: this is a support channel, try to keep to that topic, it's support for ubuntu only | 10:11 |
| hatten_ | faileas: eth5 O_o | 10:11 |
| faileas | hatten_: ah hah! STAGE 3! | 10:11 |
| rww | mjrosenb: from the look of it, free modules are in the regular linux-image packages, non-free ones are in linux-restricted-modules-versionnumber-architecture | 10:11 |
| hatten_ | faileas: that's its logical nome | 10:11 |
| hatten_ | faileas: name | 10:11 |
| rww | mjrosenb: so if you're using the generic kernel, you'd want the linux-image-generic and linux-restricted-modules-generic metapackages installed, which will pull in the right version packages. | 10:12 |
| faileas | hatten_: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces | 10:12 |
| ardchoille | I would like one of those "Ubuntu will be release in x days" graphic for my website. Where would I get one? | 10:12 |

| Arma_ | solid_liquid, PingFloyd I have a question, would it be better to make a local Ubuntu server which Ubuntu clients will connect to and itself will connect to the Windows server or would it be better to make all clients directly connected to the windows server ? | 10:13 |
| hatten_ | faileas: i know, im only noob to ubuntu, one year user of arch | 10:13 |
| faileas | change any instance of "eth0" under primary network interface to eth5 | 10:13 |
| mjrosenb | rww: should the tp_smapi (or whatever smapi is called these days) be in there? | 10:13 |
| hatten_ | faileas: okay, i got it, there are two rows | 10:13 |
| hatten_ | faileas: 'auto lo' and 'iface lo inet loopback' | 10:13 |
| faileas | ... wait... what? | 10:13 |
| faileas | ok | 10:13 |
| hatten_ | faileas: that's what inside the interfaces file | 10:13 |
| viliny_ | Anyone know whats up with playdeb being down? | 10:14 |
| Kamokow | ardchoille: As far as I know, most people who have those have made their own PHP scripts that generate the images. (I might be wrong though) | 10:14 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, what you're talking about sounds like a suse server | 10:14 |
| faileas | add two lines "auto eth5" and "iface eth5 inet dhcp" | 10:14 |
| joaopinto | viliny, the main server failed, we are working on it | 10:14 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: suse ? | 10:14 |
| faileas | hatten_: that should fix it. all you need to do is restart your networky stuff, and you'll be goof | 10:15 |
| p1oooop1 | Kamokow: you are right, using GD | 10:15 |
| ardchoille | Kamokow: That's what I was thinking too but thought I'd ask | 10:15 |
| p1oooop1 | Kamokow: google it ;) | 10:15 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, Novell made sure suse servers integrate seamlessly with windows networks, which is why m$ sells support contracts for suse linux | 10:15 |
| p1oooop1 | ardchoille: google GD, it can use PHP but PHP is not necessarry for it to work | 10:15 |
| hatten_ | faileas: yay, one ifup later and I'm connected. Thanks a lot! | 10:16 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: so I have to install suse ? :( | 10:16 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, heh not necessarily | 10:16 |
| faileas | hatten_: np. i had a similar issue with a VM a few days back ;p | 10:16 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, it's just the easiest solution | 10:16 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: or maybe opensuse :/ I would like it to be open source | 10:16 |
| ardchoille | Kamokow: fouhnd it! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown | 10:16 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, suse is opensource, just charged for | 10:16 |
| p1oooop1 | ardchoille: the problem is that you don't just tell it "make image real nice" you need to tell it to do every step of making such image | 10:16 |

| mjrosenb | rww: also, the latest linux-restricted-modules-generic seems to be for 2.6.28-17.22 | 10:17 |
| p1oooop1 | what was that? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | zagabar: please control your language | 10:17 |
| Arma_ | I don't care for the easiet solution, I want it to work in 3 months, I think that's more then enough to pull it through wouldn't it ? and I know that suse and opensuse are the same that's why I said opensuse | 10:17 |
| faileas | ikonia: i think you mean zupper? who just did a driveby ;p | 10:17 |
| ikonia | ughhh, tab lag | 10:18 |
| ikonia | zagabar: sorry , misstab/lag | 10:18 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, my point was this: start with the easiest to see how they made it work so well, and then figure out how to make whatever distro you want do it equally well | 10:18 |
| rww | mjrosenb: hmm, that's odd. They must have changed it in Karmic and I never noticed :\ | 10:18 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: has it been done before ? | 10:18 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, has what? | 10:19 |
| Arma_ | if it has then I will find it online and make it through | 10:19 |
| mjrosenb | rww: isn't progress great? | 10:19 |
| Arma_ | I hate to see windows everywhere, it is slooooooow and unstable and I HATE IT | 10:19 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, dunno if you'll find that or not | 10:19 |
| Arma_ | I want My unversity to have a taste of linux | 10:19 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, you're preaching to the choir | 10:19 |
| Arma_ | cause once you go linux you never go back | 10:19 |
| ikonia | Arma_: ok - what do you actually need support with ? | 10:19 |
| solid_liquid | yep | 10:20 |
| Arma_ | solid_liquid: actually I'm working on it not just preaching | 10:20 |
| solid_liquid | Arma_, lol like all of us | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Arma_: Microsfot windows is acceptable for some people so please stop ranting about it, this is a support channel, do you need support with Ubuntu ? | 10:20 |
| p1oooop1 | Arma_: LMAO, you think... the only reason, IMHO that windows is so popular is because it's "easy" to use | 10:20 |
| Arma_ | I've been working for 3 semesters now on this project and finally I got computers with P2 to work on | 10:20 |
| Arma_ | p1oooop1: IT IS NOT EASY TO USE | 10:20 |
| p1oooop1 | Arma_: you ever think of making a kerrighed cluster? | 10:20 |
| ikonia | Arma_: stop now | 10:20 |
| Arma_ | I find linux easier to manipulate :/ | 10:20 |
| Arma_ | but that's just me | 10:21 |
| Arma_ | ikonia, I got these P2 to install linux on them and hook em up to a windows domain controller | 10:21 |
| p1oooop1 | oops, wrong channel... sorry ikonia | 10:21 |
| === Guest38942 is now known as Termana_n810 | ||
| solid_liquid | p1oooop1, no, it's what comes with computers, so it's what people already know, it was the cheapest solution 30 years ago so lots of custom apps have been written for it, and it has vendor lock in | 10:21 |
| ikonia | Arma_: ok - so you need support with that ? | 10:21 |
| Arma_ | and I chose the very first Linux OS I ever used and learned on to impliment the project | 10:21 |
| airtonix | !ot | 10:21 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 10:21 |
| Arma_ | I would like some help with that why not | 10:22 |
| rww | mjrosenb: indeed. alright, I don't have anything smapi related under /lib/modules in Karmic with linux-image-generic, so it ain't in that package... | 10:22 |
| ikonia | Arma_: ok - what part are you stuck with | 10:22 |
| p1oooop1 | actually, I was looking for some help with my sound recording | 10:22 |
| Arma_ | I didn;t start the project yet, I got the computers today, soo I'm doing research | 10:22 |
| rww | ooo, that looks useful | 10:22 |
| p1oooop1 | i cannot record sound for whatever reason... ALSA not working right? | 10:22 |
| rww | !info tp-smapi-source | mjrosenb | 10:22 |

| mjrosenb | rww: strange. why did it go from being available as a binary to source only? | 10:25 |
| zetheroo | talk about a nightmare ... Network Proxy in Ubuntu :P | 10:25 |
| Fra88 | server irc.tin.it | 10:25 |
| hatten_ | hey, when I execute 'crontab -e' it says '/var/spool/cron' is not a directory, bailing out. But as root I can see that the directory is there. | 10:25 |
| rww | mjrosenb: I've noticed that trend with a couple of other packages too. There's probably a good reason for it, but I have no idea what it is. | 10:26 |
| zetheroo | anyone have success getting network proxying to work in Ubuntu? | 10:26 |
| Arma_ | thanks a lot guys | 10:26 |
| Arma_ | later | 10:26 |
| mjrosenb | hatten_: do you have read access to the directory and its parent? | 10:26 |
| rww | mjrosenb: the folks in #ubuntu-kernel may know, if you're interested in finding out why | 10:26 |
| hatten_ | mjrosenb: nopes, not as user | 10:27 |
| hatten_ | mjrosenb: how should i chmod it | 10:27 |
| zetheroo | I tried to get it working and then reverted to the default settings and now Synaptic is no longer working .. cannot update the system ... not even through the terminal ... | 10:27 |
| hatten_ | mjrosenb: right now it's drwxr-xr-x and owned by root | 10:27 |

| AndyGraybeal | i'm in ubuntu 8.10. i've edited ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs ; the Documents section i've pointed to another folder, set the correct permissions, but when i go to Documents.. it still wants to go to /home/username/Documents .. any ideas? | 10:30 |
| p1oooop | AndyGraybeal: ever think of doing a symlink instead? | 10:31 |
| zetheroo | can anyone see my text? | 10:32 |
| p1oooop | zetheroo: naw, it's just all the many people signing on and off | 10:32 |
| p1oooop | :) | 10:32 |
| zetheroo | oh good - ha | 10:32 |
| zetheroo | it's pretty dead in here | 10:33 |
| p1oooop | i think everyone's just on break | 10:33 |
| zetheroo | usually it's hard to keep up with all that is going on | 10:33 |
| p1oooop | wait a few seconds | 10:33 |
| zetheroo | :) | 10:33 |
| zetheroo | like a synced Ubuntu break? :P | 10:33 |
| zetheroo | ha | 10:33 |
| sunson | what's the fastest way to create a snapshot of my running system onto a usb flash drive? | 10:34 |
| zetheroo | sunson: fastest or simplest? | 10:34 |
| zetheroo | :P | 10:34 |
| llutz | sunson: sudo rsync -aux / /media/stick | 10:34 |
| sunson | zetheroo: simplest | 10:34 |
| llutz | sunson: needs unix-fs on stick | 10:34 |
| sunson | llutz: but that ain't workie boss | 10:34 |
| llutz | sunson: works | 10:35 |
| sunson | llutz: I want it to be similar. not identical. it should be an instance of its own. i want it to use its own disk. | 10:35 |
| zetheroo | what works for one may not work for another ... :) | 10:35 |
| llutz | sunson: thats something different | 10:35 |
| zetheroo | sunson: like remaster? | 10:35 |
| p1oooop | there we go, I just had to enable a few plugins | 10:36 |
| sunson | llutz: probably :) | 10:36 |
| llutz | sunson: be more specific next time | 10:36 |
| sunson | llutz: it must boot and work as it works right now | 10:36 |
| zetheroo | sunson: so you want Ubuntu to run off of a USB Hard drive? | 10:37 |
| sunson | zetheroo: kinda like a snapshot "backup" | 10:37 |
| AndyGraybeal | plooop yes ... i have been recently | 10:37 |
| sunson | zetheroo: if shit happens, i can boot off the drive | 10:37 |
| sunson | zetheroo: periodically, repeat the process | 10:37 |
| rww | ubottu: language | sunson | 10:37 |
| ubottu | sunson: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:37 |
| zetheroo | sunson: yeah .. I get what you mean ... like Ghosting | 10:37 |
| AndyGraybeal | p1oooop: sounds like a kludge though since this config file isn't working :( | 10:37 |
| sunson | zetheroo: right | 10:37 |
| zetheroo | sunson: nice thought ... | 10:38 |
| zetheroo | ;) | 10:38 |
| zetheroo | !rsync | 10:38 |

| ecolitan | when i run mount I see: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro), i have rebooted with fsck on bootup which completed ok, but it still shows like that | 10:39 |
| AndyGraybeal | brb | 10:39 |
| zetheroo | erUSUL: thanks :) | 10:39 |
| llutz | ecolitan: whats wrong with it? | 10:39 |
| ecolitan | is there a problem with this parition? | 10:39 |
| ecolitan | no problem i can detect | 10:39 |
| llutz | ecolitan: did you get any errors/warnings? | 10:40 |
| sunson | zetheroo: yeah... | 10:40 |
| sunson | zetheroo: apt-cache searching... :) | 10:40 |
| ecolitan | llutz; not that I can see | 10:40 |
| llutz | ecolitan: that line from "mount" just shows given mount-options | 10:40 |
| ecolitan | and not in dmesg | 10:40 |
| zetheroo | sunson: no, I mean are you looking at what was being mentioned here ... rsync and !remaster | 10:40 |
| ecolitan | just want to be safe | 10:41 |
| llutz | ecolitan: (rw,errors=remount-ro) = "/ is mounted rw, but would be remounted ro in case of errors" | 10:41 |
| zetheroo | sunson !remaster | 10:41 |
| ecolitan | llutz: thats good news | 10:41 |
| zetheroo | hmm | 10:41 |
| zetheroo | why is that not working ... | 10:41 |

| zetheroo | how do you fully remove the network proxy settings ...? | 10:43 |
| andrei112 | hi all | 10:43 |
| AndyGraybeal | p1oooop: okay, still didn't work; any other ideas? i'm gonna rm -rf /home/username/Documents and then ln -s. | 10:43 |
| zetheroo | I tried to get the system to connect to the Internet through Network Proxy and it was not working so I reverted back to the default settings and now I cannot install or upgrade anything | 10:43 |
| zetheroo | for some reason the proxy settings are stuck in the system somewhere | 10:44 |
| llutz | zetheroo: grep -i proxy /etc/apt | 10:44 |
| p1oooop | AndyGraybeal: I'd backup before I do that though | 10:44 |
| zetheroo | Synaptic says : Could not resolve 'proxy' | 10:44 |
| llutz | zetheroo: rgrep -i proxy /etc/apt/* | 10:44 |
| AndyGraybeal | p1oooop: ther's nothing there | 10:44 |
| p1oooop | and remember to set the owner of the directory | 10:44 |
| AndyGraybeal | aah so the owner, tell me | 10:44 |
| zetheroo | llutz: the second one? | 10:44 |
| llutz | zetheroo: yes, sry | 10:45 |
| AndyGraybeal | p1oooop: i have the group set properly | 10:45 |
| p1oooop | AndyGraybeal: works. | 10:45 |
| dole | does anypne know if i can burn an iso image with the cdburn utility from the ubuntu live? | 10:45 |
| AndyGraybeal | p1oooop: you mean just having the group works ? (i'm sorry) | 10:45 |
| rww | dole: Brasero? Yes, it can burn iso files. | 10:45 |
| AndyGraybeal | because that's all i thought i needed was the group to be correct -- it's actually a shared Documents folder between two users. | 10:46 |
| p1oooop | AndyGraybeal: I would assume... I don't mess with permissions much... | 10:46 |
| AndyGraybeal | k thank you | 10:46 |
| zetheroo | llutz: ok I did that and then sudo apt-get update and it's still not working ... Could not resolve proxy | 10:46 |
| llutz | zetheroo: was there any output? that cmd won't fix anything | 10:46 |
| p1oooop | AndyGraybeal: if it doesn't go ahead and set owner | 10:46 |
| AndyGraybeal | ya, i'll try owner now | 10:46 |
| AndyGraybeal | thanks | 10:46 |
| zetheroo | llutz: no output | 10:46 |

| abhi_nav | dole: creat bootable usb from that live cd. boot from that usb and then write cd | 11:07 |
| rww | dole: You don't. You need to either 1) have two CD drives or 2) make a LiveUSB stick and boot from it. | 11:07 |
| dole | abhi_nav: it says that cdrom is busy and can't be unmounted | 11:07 |

| psycho_oreos | mount | 11:26 |
| raddy | Our guys installed CentOS 5.4 after installing ubuntu 9.1x | 11:26 |
| raddy | Because it uses ext4, grub and centos didn't detect that. | 11:26 |
| raddy | I am finding very difficult to resolve the issue. | 11:26 |
| safatb | ok byee | 11:27 |
| raddy | Grub was able to mount the drive. | 11:27 |
| psycho_oreos | raddy, you should have installed centos first before ubuntu | 11:27 |
| faileas | raddy: centos tends to have slightly older stuff. i thought ext4 was backwards compatable, though. maybe reinstall grub2 the way you would should grub be overwritten by windows? | 11:27 |
| * faileas wonders why someone would dualboot server OSes | 11:27 | |
| raddy | But it says invalid folder when pointing the kernel image. | 11:28 |

| archboxman | what its all linux there might be few different sets that all... Linux is linux.. Have to say ubuntu is leading the way, bit different... :) | 12:29 |
| archboxman | If you understand how to use cli then your 95% good to go in linux ... | 12:31 |
| indus | so do any one of you here use a firewall? | 12:31 |
| iceroot | archboxman: linux is a kernel and not bash | 12:31 |
| iceroot | !anyone | indus | 12:31 |
| ubottu | indus: 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? | 12:31 |
| indus | iceroot, ? | 12:31 |
| archboxman | iceroot: well thats odd I thought it was an OS??? | 12:32 |
| indus | so question is, how is my system protected from the crazyh internet world | 12:32 |
| becker_11 | iceroot: gave it a shot but too many things were dependent and not going to be installed it said so I had to go for the ubuntu-desktop | 12:32 |
| iceroot | indus: with up to date packages | 12:33 |
| iceroot | indus: ports are only opened if a program is started | 12:33 |
| indus | iceroot, that doesnt hide your ip | 12:33 |
| becker_11 | archboxman: linux is the kernel developed by linux torvalds Gnu/Linux is the operating system | 12:33 |
| indus | are you telling me, a person cant enter my system if a program is not running? sorry i find it hard to believe | 12:33 |
| ndlovu | if I'm in /home/user, and I want to tar folder myfiles, how would I tell it to only preserve the myfiles directory in the tar archive? | 12:34 |
| becker_11 | archboxman: gnu.org | 12:34 |
| faileas | indus: unless you're running servers, it isn't entirely necessary. ubuntu does come with ufw, though, should you need an easy way to set up a firewall | 12:34 |
| archboxman | becker_11: funny I thought the idea was freedom to use programs..... | 12:34 |
| Kenjiro | good morning | 12:34 |
| iceroot | indus: if you think a firewall is for hiding an ip you are very very wrong | 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | indus, I always have a firewall in place simply because a port scanner would get a reply from the system otherwise, even if there are no open ports | 12:34 |
| becker_11 | archboxman: in regards to what sorry | 12:34 |
| iceroot | indus: maybe read something about networking | 12:34 |
| archboxman | Seeing how that was the main compliant ... why isn't it free | 12:34 |
| ndlovu | tar -c --strip-components 2 /home/user/myfiles ? | 12:34 |
| DaemonFC | I don't want them knowing my system is there, a firewall stops my machine from replying | 12:35 |
| Kenjiro | guys, I am fairly new to Ubuntu. I would like to know where I can check the './configure' options I need to compile openldap (an old version) so it will be in conformity with ubuntu standards | 12:35 |
| becker_11 | indus: that would be a proxy more so than a firewall | 12:35 |
| indus | so a firewall doesnt hide an ip? what exactly does it do then | 12:35 |
| motaka2 | where can i find repositories concerning php5.3 for ubuntu 8.3 | 12:35 |
| iceroot | indus: controlling the traffic | 12:35 |
| indus | iceroot, iam pretty much wrong yes thats why i ask here | 12:35 |
| iceroot | indus: man iptable | 12:35 |
| DaemonFC | the fact that the system replies "port is closed" is already far too much, because now they know there is a system there | 12:35 |
| becker_11 | indus: stops packets from entering your system while letting allowed packets in and out | 12:35 |
| iceroot | indus: there you will find what a firewall is/can do | 12:36 |
| DaemonFC | firewall is not going to hurt anything, I just turn it on and set it to deny unsolicited traffic | 12:36 |
| indus | well, most tutorials say no need of it in ubuntu but .. | 12:36 |
| archboxman | iceroot: security is the idea of combining standards to make your computer safe from the router down to the computer... | 12:36 |
| iceroot | indus: you dont need a firewall | 12:36 |
| indus | someone here can send a port scan request | 12:36 |
| becker_11 | DaemonFC: that's it start firewall create first rule block all inbound :-) | 12:37 |
| iceroot | indus: ip? | 12:37 |
| Wubuntu | Is there a suitable driver for my webcam (Microdia webcam:Vender ID 0c45:600d Microdia TwinkleCam USB camera)? | 12:37 |
| DaemonFC | indus, I respectfully disagree with those tutorials then | 12:37 |
| indus | and what if firefox is running, wouldnt the scanner know that port 80 is open | 12:37 |
| iceroot | indus: firefox is not a webserver so why should port 80 be opened? | 12:37 |
| l3ns | i just downloaded tcptrack. but it only tracks traffic in this machine only. not on every machine that is connected to this network.. is there other tools available in ubuntu that does this? | 12:37 |
| iceroot | indus: please read some network-basics | 12:37 |
| becker_11 | indus: www.grc.com go check out sheilds up it's a port tester and very very good at explaining what you are looking for | 12:38 |
| indus | iceroot, i thojught a web browser listen s on port 80 | 12:38 |
| iceroot | indus: and why should firefox open port 80 on your client? | 12:38 |
| becker_11 | indus: grc.com also has forums I learnt an incredible amount from that site and forum | 12:39 |
| archboxman | indus: remember the more security you put up... the different the effect will be... | 12:39 |
| rww | indus: Web *servers* listen on port 80. Web *browsers* don't. | 12:39 |
| indus | rww, hello , thanks | 12:39 |
| DaemonFC | indus, sudo ufw enable && sudo ufw default deny and never worry about it again, good for most desktop users | 12:39 |
| iceroot | indus: again, you dont need a firewall on your system | 12:39 |
| indus | rww, so i ask again, when firefox is running, it doesnt open port 80?i saw that in preferences too | 12:39 |
| iceroot | indus: nmap -p 80 localhost while firefox is running | 12:40 |
| DaemonFC | iceroot, If it won't hurt anything but it will stop port scanners from knowing there is a machine at that address, where is the harm? | 12:40 |
| becker_11 | indus: it uses port 80 to get http traffic but it doesn't open it or listen on it | 12:40 |
| iceroot | DaemonFC: a virusscanner on linux can make your system also safer.... | 12:40 |

| becker_11 | indus: a browser also uses port 443 and possibly 21 | 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | iceroot, I wouldn't go as far as a virus scanner until there actually are viruses out there, but iptables settings don't slow a PC down | 12:41 |
| DaemonFC | or get confused and delete pieces of the OS :) | 12:41 |
| archboxman | indus: this is a subject that takes you to learn your system... There is no way for anyone in here to say a piece of hardware is not opening a port you need to look at your system... | 12:41 |
| rww | "sudo ufw enable" and you're done :) | 12:41 |

| ndlovu | is there not some way to tell tar to ignore all directories above the current directory? | 12:42 |
| indus | it is? | 12:42 |
| DaemonFC | iceroot, There's some reason to turn it on, it provides some protection at no overhead and very low risk of interfering with anything legit | 12:43 |
| iceroot | indus: of course | 12:43 |

| motaka2 | can anyone help me figuring out for having native ttf configured on my php what should package should i download ? | 12:43 |
| abhi_nav_ | whats the exact purpose and target audience of xfce? | 12:44 |
| DaemonFC | abhi_nav_, Stripped down desktop for old PCs mainly I believe is the target audience | 12:44 |
| archboxman | indus: I told you already hardware is different and everyones setup is different .... You need to look up basic setups... I could buy a Cisco router that has firewall, Webserver and a server built in one does this make it good perhaps ,but it is all how you use security... | 12:44 |
| becker_11 | abhi_nav_: xfce is for systems that are slightly older than the latest and greatest and for users that don't want alot of overhead on their systems | 12:44 |
| indus | because, i remember using zonealarm in windows, so was wondering about ubuntu | 12:45 |
| becker_11 | abhi_nav_: I like xfce because it is lighter than gnome and runs faster on my system | 12:45 |
| abhi_nav_ | DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok should i install it on my ubuntu to get more speed and performance? I now have gnome | 12:45 |
| indus | and zonealarm keeps saying this attempt blvocked etc even though i dont run anhy web servers | 12:45 |
| iceroot | indus: for what you need a firewall? | 12:45 |
| DaemonFC | indus, Totally different thing. ufw is just a way to set iptables, which is built into the kernel. | 12:45 |
| Kenjiro | I would like to know where I can check the './configure' options I need to compile openldap-2.3.30 (an old version) so it will be in conformity with ubuntu standards | 12:46 |
| iceroot | indus: sorry but you even dont know what firefox is doing when surfing | 12:46 |
| becker_11 | abhi_nav_: sure | 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | Zonealarm is an entire filtering engine full of bloat sitting in userspece and tapped into your TCP/IP stack | 12:46 |
| abhi_nav_ | DaemonFC: & becker_11: ok thnx | 12:46 |
| indus | iceroot, thats what iam asking whether i need it or not, iam not running anything | 12:46 |
| indus | iceroot, i dont like your tone btw | 12:46 |
| DaemonFC | indus, Zonealarm is a resource sapper like most Windows security software, ufw jsut writes iptables settings and has almost no overhead | 12:47 |

| iceroot | indus: maybe you want something like a router/nat | 12:47 |
| indus | iceroot, i have a router given by my isp, which has firewall enabled in it anyways | 12:48 |
| viliny_ | indus, not beating around the bush - firestarter seems like the program you want | 12:48 |
| archboxman | indus: just keep in mind this can be complex... you need to take inventory of all the hardware and its abilities, but you need to start at basics of security... | 12:48 |
| indus | iceroot, anyway thanks , ill read more about this somewhere else | 12:48 |
| DaemonFC | on Windows machines, I just leave the built in "firewall" going because third party software makes the system die a slow and horrible death, but everything in Linux is just a pretty iptables frontend | 12:48 |
| iceroot | indus: ok | 12:48 |

| DaemonFC | becker_11, Better than nothing. I've yet to see evidence that Zonealarm does better. :) | 12:49 |
| indus | i wanted someone to acess a location on my system | 12:49 |
| abhi_nav_ | !desktop | 12:49 |
| ubottu | A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 12:49 |
| iceroot | indus: what security you want from a firewall when using apache? blocking port 80? | 12:49 |
| becker_11 | DaemonFC: I always used kerio I got to write each and every rule and inspect all the logs | 12:50 |
| indus | never mind | 12:50 |
| indus | ill read more | 12:50 |
| iceroot | indus: then why using apache? | 12:50 |
| becker_11 | DaemonFC: and it was free | 12:50 |
| indus | iceroot,its a web server no?so i setup it on my system\ | 12:50 |
| iceroot | indus: only for lan or also for wan? | 12:50 |
| ja2 | Hi, A question about the Evolution email client. I wonder how to run/apply the filter rules on my Inbox? Making filter is no problem. But I got 1700 msgs that I want to sort into different folders. | 12:50 |
| DaemonFC | becker_11, You have to watch out with free firewalls on Windows cause some of them will break things to where you need to re-install Windows. Comodo likes to do that. Poor Windows users. | 12:50 |
| indus | iceroot, then i setup a static ip and gave ip address to my friend who could access my system | 12:50 |
| becker_11 | indus: I can connect to your system using SSH over port 22 I don't need apache | 12:50 |
| indus | hmm | 12:51 |
| becker_11 | DaemonFC: yeah I am happy to have left that behind | 12:51 |
| iceroot | indus: and then? | 12:51 |
| indus | iceroot, so was like a web address so type url and reach my system | 12:51 |
| indus | iceroot, that dyndns thing | 12:51 |
| indus | just for fun i did it | 12:51 |
| becker_11 | indus: sounds like SSH to me | 12:51 |
| iceroot | indus: and only your friend should reach apache? | 12:51 |
| indus | iceroot, no anyone | 12:51 |
| iceroot | indus: then why need a firewall???? | 12:52 |
| indus | iceroot, :) | 12:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | assume a condition where, anyhow my host ubuntu is unable to connect to internet by any menas. then will my clean installation of guest ubuntu on vm wll connect to internet? (assume that no hardware prob. every hardware is in ok condition) | 12:52 |
| iceroot | indus: to block port 80 to the world? | 12:52 |
| becker_11 | indus I was chatting in irc from my g/f house using ssh to reach my machine and run the irc program on it | 12:52 |
| DaemonFC | indus, Security software with no overhead that doesn't kill anything is always welcome, to me | 12:52 |
| indus | iceroot, ok ill rephrase my questions tomorrow | 12:52 |
| iceroot | indus: ok | 12:52 |
| indus | iceroot, thanks | 12:52 |
| Pici | indus: Unlike Windows computers, linux/Ubuntu does not have any ports open by default that you need to block outsiders from connecting to, thus no need for firewall rules. | 12:52 |
| becker_11 | iceroot: maybe he is scared all the other ports he hasn't opened need a firewall | 12:52 |
| indus | iceroot, but like you and many mentioned, having a static ip warrants a firewall?or setting up a web server warrants one? | 12:53 |
| DaemonFC | indus, and I really don't care if the attacker is "theoretical" because if there's one out there, I'd rather not be the one pwned | 12:53 |
| * abhi_nav_ waiting for response | 12:53 | |

| iceroot | becker_11: i would be more scared about bad ssh passwords instead of other ports | 12:53 |
| rww | abhi_nav_: no, it won't | 12:53 |
| * abhi_nav_ .... | 12:53 | |
| iceroot | becker_11: or a bad apache-conf with the php-mail-function | 12:54 |
| abhi_nav_ | rww: & indus: ok thnx | 12:54 |
| rww | abhi_nav_: VM guests rely on the host for an internet connection. | 12:54 |
| becker_11 | iceroot: yeah true I strengthened mine when I installed ssh it's now 15 chars, symbols etc very strong | 12:54 |
| abhi_nav_ | rww: hmmm | 12:54 |
| DaemonFC | Personally I'm glad Ubuntu went with AppArmor and not SELinux (Though Tomoyo is nice too), as SELinux even with targeted likes to kill random things including the networkmanager applet, Windows programs in Wine, etc. | 12:54 |
| archboxman | indus: your getting confused... first off If you run a web server it is usually a seperate computer only with content driven for internet ... Your home computer seeing files is driven for accessing data on that computer ... No need to run apache to see home computer files... web server is for hosting websites... yes can a webserver give you access to computer files ... what your doing is a bag opening up a bag of tricks... not set | 12:54 |
| alid | How can I restart sound? | 12:54 |
| becker_11 | iceroot: it must be good I hate typing it | 12:54 |
| DaemonFC | AppArmor is very unobtrusive and easy to use | 12:55 |
| indus | i know archboxman | 12:55 |
| indus | archboxman, experimenting | 12:55 |
| DaemonFC | SELinux also likes to eat Tomboy sometimes :) | 12:55 |
| becker_11 | indus: find a forum and read up before you go installing stuff | 12:55 |
| archboxman | well I suggest you understand coperate setups of server and client computer... | 12:56 |
| DaemonFC | I'd call SELinux the kite eating tree of the Linux world | 12:56 |
| becker_11 | indus: try grc.com, computercops, majorgeeks etc all excellent forumns | 12:56 |
| indus | ok thanks | 12:56 |
| indus | but no problem, my system is useless data anyway | 12:56 |
| becker_11 | anyway I need to reboot | 12:56 |
| indus | so a firewall blocks acess to ports in the system is that correct? or iam still wrong | 12:57 |
| indus | unauthorised i mean | 12:57 |
| DaemonFC | indus, blocks unsolicited inbound traffic, yes | 12:57 |
| indus | aauuhmmm kk | 12:58 |
| archboxman | indus: my home systems are.... just that useless.. mine is for entertianment not selling products or giving advice.... Gaming and Watching movies and pay bills... | 12:58 |
| Zus | is anyone having issue with volume in firefox on youtube? dont hear anything...(my rythmbox and system does fine) | 12:58 |
| DaemonFC | indus, Most routers have an iptables firewall loaded and running anyway, but you can turn ufw one, it won't harm anything | 12:58 |
| archboxman | Zus: everything is fine sound works great | 12:58 |
| abhi_nav_ | how to change ubuntu splash screen? (i mean that screen when we start computer and ubuntu is writter and under the work ubuntu one one go on increasing.....) Note: dont laugh | 12:59 |

| indus | but bad news is firefox wont play youtube html 5 most videos | 13:34 |
| iceroot | indus: gnash | 13:34 |
| archboxman | indus: the internet is using flash for some effect or media content ... You would have to change every server out there to use a new format... unless this is for personel use... | 13:34 |
| iceroot | indus: working on youtube | 13:34 |
| johnm | rename u904 purple_fb | 13:35 |

| indus | aah wmv i guess | 13:35 |

| faileas | indus: it breaks down to 'do i want my users to have to install a plugin or not' | 13:36 |
| nibbler | napster, its easy, just type dmesg | 13:36 |
| iceroot | napster: what is the problem with dmesg? | 13:36 |
| archboxman | napster: ??? what | 13:36 |
| indus | napster, also to check last few messages , type dmesg | tail | 13:36 |
| napster | nibbler, I mean, can I use dmesg to wait for me to plugin a device? | 13:36 |

| archboxman | goldensun: good question ... I would reinstall the OS this makes no sense why restarting the x server works... | 14:06 |
| goldensun | maybe if I add "killall Xorg" on the /etc/rc.local, it will work | 14:06 |
| goldensun | but isn't that too durty? | 14:06 |
| archboxman | goldensun: I would say this is an install issue not a problem with suspending operations... that would be like saying the kernel is loading the xorg file before its time so it errors out... | 14:07 |

| leifmadsen | I'm using Gnome on 9.10, and I've now got dual-monitors setup via nvidia control panel. The one monitor is larger than the other (15" vs. 24") and I've noticed the mouse moves a lot faster up-down than it does left-right. Anyone know where I can go to tweak that so I can get a more consistent movement in all directions? | 14:43 |

| FuzziBear | if i am using dd to image my hdd (sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=./image.img bs=1k) and it crashes for some reason (lets not go into why, but it was something stupid i did <_<) am i able to just skip the blocks that it has copied (ie file size / 1024, since bs=1k) and it will work nicely, or will that result in a corrupt image?... alternately, would i have to hash the last block, compare it to what it should be on the hdd to make sure it copied | 15:36 |
| FuzziBear | correctly and wasnt corrupt, if it was okay copy from there on, but if it wasnt, hash 2nd last block to check it and recopy last if it wasnt okay (etc until you get a matching block) | 15:36 |
| mgolisch | futurama140: like ./file.run | 15:36 |

I click okay, the screen flickers and it goes to a black screen with a dialog with options for either running in low graphics m | 16:23 |
| paraplegicpanda | ode for a session, reconfigure display settings, or drop to a console. The first two options just bring me back to the same black screen with the dialog, so I drop to a console. I can login at the terminal and then run startx and it'll load gdm, but obviously I don't want to have to go through this everytime I reboot my pc, which is often. If I can drop back to xsplash that would be fine, I just need to get my graphical | 16:23 |

| richthegeek | hi, does anyone have any experience getting grub-reboot working under 9.10 (grub2)? | 16:45 |
| Myrtti | !webmin | Allmighty | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Allmighty: 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. | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj | richthegeek, sudo update-grub2 | 16:46 |
| dimuls | MjCb, do you now me? | 16:46 |
| connectc | would i get attention if i showed my boobs??? :-) I guess nobody has an answer... where is the best place to go to get answers on failed dual boot installation | 16:46 |

| Myrtti | dimuls: he's gone | 16:46 |
| Allmighty | ubottu then why is gameserver not working too? | 16:47 |
| richthegeek | BluesKaj** different use, grub-reboot is for one-boot changes to the default | 16:47 |

| Allmighty | ok | 16:48 |
| Allmighty | :( | 16:48 |
| BluesKaj | richthegeek, you still need to update-grub to rewrite your changes to the cfg file | 16:48 |
| usr13 | ryan_: Maybe... ask and see | 16:48 |
| orson | drizzt_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales | 16:48 |
| stdisease | SealedWithAKiss, add this to your 40_custom and update-grub2, should work: http://pastebin.com/peA89zMC | 16:48 |

| GeekSquid | ryan_: have you tried cycling the hardware power to the wireless card ... usually a combination of Fn+ a Fkey or a dedicated switch on the laptop, might help | 16:51 |

| ryan_ | GeekSquid: How do i add a repository? | 17:01 |
| GeekSquid | dimuls: probably not, but I will tell you that HAL is probably broken in 9.10 on your system and broke when you upgraded, sometimes upgrading is not the best choice as it tends to break things, you could try to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure hal' .. no promises weather it will work | 17:01 |
| solid_liquid | ryan_, vim /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:02 |

| DemoOn | Mount of filesystem failed. A maintanace shell will now be started. Controol -D will terminate this and re-retry root@blablabla, what should i do? | 17:04 |
| stdisease | yehia, use the firefox plugin or install 'clive' | 17:04 |
| solid_liquid | yep | 17:04 |
| Flare-Laptop | yehia: clive or youtube-dl | 17:04 |
| solid_liquid | drizzt_, many (if not most) youtube videos are not copyrighted | 17:04 |
| OerHeks | yehia watch the youtube movie, keep the page open, then grab it from /tmp/ | 17:05 |
| solid_liquid | OerHeks, that's always been my favorite way :) | 17:05 |
| mplabs | nibbler, thank you ! | 17:05 |
| yehia | Thanks alot Flare-Laptop, stdisease , GeekSquid. | 17:05 |
| DemoOn | any help? | 17:05 |
| Flare-Laptop | yehia: Np | 17:05 |
| OerHeks | me 2 solid_liquid :-d | 17:06 |
| yehia | OerHeks, i did but i couldnt find the file | 17:06 |
| Flare-Laptop | DemoOn: run fsck | 17:06 |
| jevidl | yehia: if you are using firefox, check out the Download Helper extension | 17:07 |
| OerHeks | yehia, watch it 'till the end ! leave the browser open, if you close the browser, the /tmp/ will be deleted. | 17:07 |
| solid_liquid | yehia, do this in /tmp: for F in *; do file "$F" | grep -i flash; done | 17:07 |
| jevidl | yehia: sorry, DownloadHelper | 17:07 |
| solid_liquid | yehia, that'll tell you the file that has the flash video in it | 17:07 |
| solid_liquid | OerHeks, no, better trick: create a hardlink when you find it, so it won't get deleted | 17:08 |
| researcher1 | is there a way to know the ratings of software before I choose to install it in Ubuntu? I want to install the best of all in every class lets say Education,Science etc.... | 17:08 |
| solid_liquid | that reminds me... I meant to write a program to automatically collect flash videos in there, but forgot all about it | 17:09 |
| PyjamaSpank | researcher1: good question, i think it's coming back in the next upgrade | 17:09 |
| solid_liquid | of course, youtube is switching to html5 video now though | 17:09 |
| yehia | OerHeks, yes of course i do exactly as you said ... but still i cant find the file | 17:09 |
| OerHeks | solid_liquid, how about the fash cookies ? some are 100 kb, others 50 kb, takes a lot of space :( | 17:09 |

| solid_liquid | OerHeks, I was going to design it so that it only collected flash videos specifically, and to have a configurable amount of time to keep the files before deleting them (so the user could see what videos had been collected and choose which ones to keep within that timeframe of, say, 1 day) | 17:11 |

| solid_liquid | drizzt_, try setting a different font for your console | 17:16 |
| orson | cafuego: centos is next door, this is ubuntu | 17:16 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: sounds like you want a proxy.. you'll probably have to pay for one of those.. or suffer very bad performance | 17:16 |
| Pici | Curly_Q: Perhaps you ashould ask in #centos, not #ubuntu | 17:16 |
| solid_liquid | candy: why are you asking that here? | 17:16 |

| obiwan_ | please, i need some way to join my wlan | 17:17 |
| solid_liquid | drizzt_, no... a little more complicated than that. it's another kernel config ;) | 17:17 |
| stdisease | Curly_Q, no | 17:17 |
| orson | Curly_Q: only root can use apt-get | 17:17 |

| stdisease | Curly_Q, if you used it with sudo that's same as root | 17:18 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: from the ghostsurf website it only seems that it does some plain web filtering.. removing ads and adding some virus protection.. try firefox with adblock .. that should give you about the same functionality | 17:18 |
| Curly_Q | So I need to establish an: sudo passwd root first? | 17:18 |

| orson | Curly_Q: no," sudo apt-get ...." | 17:18 |
| Slart | !best | look | 17:18 |
| ubottu | look: 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. | 17:18 |
| Curly_Q | I get it. | 17:18 |
| stdisease | Curly_Q, if you wanto to log directly as root yes, otherwise just sudo | 17:18 |
| WizardOfOz | slart: nop it allows Encryption the data you're sending becomes anonymous | 17:18 |
| Curly_Q | Therefore, sudo is a shortcut to root access. | 17:18 |
| solid_liquid | drizzt_, you're just asking about uncommonly changed things today, which is why there aren't easy tools made for them | 17:18 |
| timyeung | WizardOfOz, google proxy ubuntu see what pulls up | 17:19 |
| orson | Curly_Q: "man sudo" | 17:19 |
| obiwan_ | please, any idea what could i try? neither networkmanager nor wicd work with my access point | 17:19 |
| WizardOfOz | timyeung nop | 17:19 |
| obiwan_ | it works when i use wep, but it won't when i disable ciper | 17:19 |
| dandalion | I have a mobile device that i plug in, I put all my carriers info in the network connections under wireless broadband (like my laptops) | 17:19 |
| Curly_Q | What a change from the old Red Hat. | 17:19 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: then you're back at a proxy.. afaik that's the only way to become even slightly anonymous.. (and I'm not sure you're truly anon even using a proxy) | 17:19 |
| orson | Curly_Q: no change at all, redhat has sudo too | 17:19 |
| Pici | !sudo | Curly_Q | 17:19 |
| ubottu | Curly_Q: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 17:19 |

| solid_liquid | dandalion, I've never touched one of those devices, so I have no idea, sorry | 17:20 |
| timyeung | dandalion, is wireless not working on your laptop? | 17:20 |
| Trinity33 | <drizzt_> there is no option uncheck launch in terminal in 9.10 when u create launcher there u got options type: application or terminal or location. name. and command: path to the script which suppose start application so when normally i type in a shell the name of this app it start. but hwne use launcher it start and close in 1 sec | 17:20 |
| dandalion | It works on my laptop i can not get it to work on my desktop | 17:21 |

| kenshin | hi all | 17:21 |
| dandalion | yes | 17:22 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: that's true.. but being anonymous isn't the same as "my isp doesn't know what I'm doing on the net" | 17:22 |
| kenshin | how do i fix syslog.conf? | 17:22 |
| WizardOfOz | True | 17:22 |

| solid_liquid | dandalion, is it the same exact kind of card in both? | 17:22 |
| Curly_Q | I found another interesting one called edubuntu. Looks pretty cool for kids and instructors. | 17:22 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: according to their site "your surfing is router through private anonymous hubs".. that sounds like proxies to me.. and those usually cost money | 17:23 |
| Trinity33 | so cos my app is cd /mmm/mmmm/mmmm/mmmm then name.py -th and it start i wanted put a command and use launcher to start it instad type in shell ful path to this app | 17:23 |
| stdisease | mmm: no such file or directory | 17:23 |

| solid_liquid | dandalion, maybe you forgot a step you used on the laptop? | 17:23 |
| stdisease | kenshin, does it give an error concerning any specific line? | 17:24 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz, overmind: last time I tried Tor it was unbearably slow.. might have become better now though | 17:24 |
| timyeung | dandalion, you should see your network card in there. click on it and click activate. you should have your wireless card plugged in, and you should be hardwired into your network | 17:24 |
| solid_liquid | Slart, WizardOfOz : I highly recommend a cloak | 17:24 |
| kenshin | stdisease, no | 17:24 |
| kenshin | i am trying module programming | 17:24 |
| stdisease | kenshin, how did you know it's broken then? | 17:24 |
| WizardOfOz | meh | 17:24 |
| overmind | Slart: It works fine for me | 17:25 |
| kenshin | someone in #kernelnewbies told me | 17:25 |

| overmind | Slart: Speed depends of day, weekends, obviusly, works very fast, today... not too speed as yesteday :P | 17:25 |
| stdisease | kenshin, when you said you wanted to fix it I assumed it's broken somehow. Ok.. | 17:25 |
| kenshin | but i can see them after dmesg | 17:25 |
| dandalion | ok I will give that a try | 17:25 |
| WizardOfOz | Something similar to ghostsurf :( | 17:26 |
| dandalion | thanks | 17:26 |
| kenshin | stdisease, the guy was sure it is broken.. | 17:26 |
| Slart | overmind: nice to know things have picked up... | 17:26 |
| WizardOfOz | I paid 20 dollars for GhostSurf | 17:26 |
| obiwan_ | please guys, i need to join my passwordless router. neither networkmanager nor wicd can . could anybody guide me ? | 17:26 |

| stdisease | kenshin, no that I can tell, except if there's a specific behavior you want to configure | 17:27 |
| The_ManU_212 | is osd-notify also available for other linux distributions? | 17:27 |

| The_ManU_212 | i like its appereance | 17:27 |
| kenshin | stdisease, why wudnt my module log messages then? | 17:27 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: I'm not sure how reliable this site is.. or the info they supply.. it might be a good place to start looking though http://proxy.org/ | 17:27 |
| Maletor | Can I set up my RAID 5 through my BIOS or must I use mdadm? | 17:27 |
| solid_liquid | The_ManU_212, yep | 17:28 |
| kenshin | stdisease, anything u may know about it? | 17:28 |
| timyeung | wickire2, try this : click system>administration>hardware drivers. see if it is in there and if it is click activate | 17:28 |
| stdisease | kenshin, do any of the message you're looking for show up in /var/log/kern.log ? | 17:28 |
| solid_liquid | The_ManU_212, it's a freedesktop.org standard | 17:28 |
| Maletor | How do I scp through a firewall (which I have access to) to my computer? | 17:28 |
| kenshin | umm | 17:28 |
| kenshin | dint chk tht | 17:28 |
| WizardOfOz | slart: those are blocked by Chinese and Iranian Government | 17:28 |
| Flare-Laptop | Maletor: Portforward them first. | 17:28 |
| solid_liquid | Maletor, unblock (and forward if needed) port 22 | 17:29 |
| Maletor | Flare-Laptop: I'd rather not port forward... maybe tunnel? | 17:29 |
| wickire2 | timyeung: Sorry. This was a server install. So no X server. I need to do it through the command line | 17:29 |
| kenshin | stdisease, oh yes | 17:29 |
| kenshin | they do | 17:29 |
| drizzt_ | is there some console text editor which can use shift+keys to select text? | 17:29 |
| kenshin | i can see them | 17:29 |
| timyeung | wickire2, ooo sorry I can't help | 17:29 |
| Flare-Laptop | Maletor: You can try | 17:29 |
| Slart | WizardOfOz: the site http://proxy.org is blocked? or the sites that are listed on it? | 17:29 |
| stdisease | WizardOfOz, 'apt-get get install tor' they probably aren't blocking that one ;-) | 17:29 |
| kenshin | all the messages... | 17:29 |
| Maletor | Flare-Laptop: how would i do it? | 17:29 |
| wickire2 | timyeung: No promblem. Thanks for trying | 17:29 |
| The_ManU_212 | solid_liquid: where can i download the source? and i ehard dke is not based on these freedesktop standards? | 17:30 |
| stdisease | kenshin, good. problem solved then, I take it? | 17:30 |
| WizardOfOz | stdisease: No I mean proxy.org the proxies there are blocked | 17:30 |
| alabd | hello , How to install this ? http://nohands.sf.net/ ? | 17:30 |
| WizardOfOz | No good. | 17:30 |

| Slart | WizardOfOz: go with Tor then.. they'll have a hard time blocking that | 17:30 |
| WizardOfOz | Okay cheers | 17:30 |
| kenshin | stdisease, lemme ask the #kernelnewbies guys if this is ok... :P | 17:30 |
| stdisease | kenshin, show them your syslog.conf if it helps | 17:31 |
| solid_liquid | wickire2, lspci to find out what type of NIC it is, then google for it to see what .ko kernel module is needed, then use lsmod and modprobe to make sure it's loaded and in use | 17:31 |
| solid_liquid | wickire2, you may need to download another driver for it | 17:31 |
| kenshin | stdisease, ok | 17:31 |
| solid_liquid | The_ManU_212, google for the project homepage | 17:31 |
| timyeung | alabd, try sudo apt-get install libhfp hfpd hfconsole | 17:32 |

| rob0917 | good | 17:33 |
| alabd | timyeung: also two other | 17:33 |
| timyeung | alabd, you might need to add the repository for it | 17:33 |
| orson | rob0917: google for "gnome-look malware screensaver" and decide | 17:33 |
| alabd | maybe but which ? timyeung | 17:33 |
| drizzt_ | rob0917, you will be constantly attacked only if hosting webserver | 17:33 |

| Dan_E | anyone know why i cant see my win drive in file manager ubuntu 9.10 I installed ubuntu with Wubi from inside win blows, is that why? | 17:35 |
| b2p1mp | I tried for a few hours lastnight to get the video driver installed on ubuntu 910 ... on an ispiron 8000 Dell laptop( ati 128mb mobility m4 rage) The current driver works but video/youtube runs slow. I think I am using a generic video driver...that isnt accelerated. Any ideas? I will keep on googling too. Seems this card has many issues with people. | 17:35 |

| Samual | Hey for some reason when I try to open an iso file in Ubuntu which I know works (I used it in a VM) I don't see the contents of the iso | 17:36 |
| Samual | I just see a readme.txt file | 17:36 |
| researcher1 | is there a software repository for Ubuntu which also explain what this program is all about? | 17:36 |
| b2p1mp | Aslo, some info, during installation i had to choose safe graphics Mode or the screen was layered in 3 and cutting some parts off. | 17:36 |
| Samual | The image itself is 3.7gb, so I know the data is there | 17:36 |
| Samual | Is there a reason I can't extract it? | 17:37 |
| asd__ | anyone, after updating, after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? | 17:37 |
| dumdumz | Samual, an iso is an image file not an archive | 17:37 |
| orson | Samual: how did you mount it? | 17:37 |
| Samual | I know, but e.g. 7zip can read those normally (Or winrar) | 17:37 |
| solid_liquid | researcher1, run aptitude, by itself, from the command line. it'll show you long descriptions for each package | 17:37 |
| b2p1mp | dumdumz: iso can be opened with winrar and other archivers though | 17:38 |
| Samual | And I didn't mount it, I couldn't get it to mount with the mount command | 17:38 |
| timyeung | alabd, oh I see... you have to build from source code. do you know how to do that? | 17:38 |
| monub | anybody know if the security issues about acrobat extend to linux version of reader? | 17:38 |
| solid_liquid | Samual, how are you opening it? | 17:38 |
| stdisease | Samual, use 'mount -o loop' with the command | 17:38 |
| genii | !iso | 17:38 |
| ubottu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 17:38 |
| solid_liquid | Samual, you neet to use the -o loop flag to mount | 17:38 |
| genii | If udf use -t udf | 17:38 |
| Samual | stdisease, I tried that, it complains that it can't find the iso in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 17:38 |
| savid | Does anyone know of a good database GUI client for ubuntu, preferably one that works with multiple types of databases? | 17:38 |
| Samual | I know | 17:38 |
| alabd | timyeung: should try | 17:38 |
| Samual | Oh I see | 17:39 |
| Samual | I forgot the mountpoint >.> hah | 17:39 |
| Samual | One sec. | 17:39 |
| solid_liquid | Samual, mount -o loop myfile.iso mymountdir/ | 17:39 |
| Samual | K that worked. | 17:39 |
| Samual | Thanks. | 17:39 |
| ssn | hi guys | 17:39 |
| kenshin | stdisease, he said it shud be normal | 17:39 |
| kenshin | if the kern.log shows all the messages that dmesg does, it shud be fine | 17:40 |
| ssn | do you know how to remove a certain line from a text document / script without using an editor? i can pick the line with grep, but i dont know how to remove it | 17:40 |
| kenshin | stdisease, thanks | 17:40 |
| stdisease | kenshin, y/w | 17:40 |
| solid_liquid | savid, the one from openoffice is supposedly good | 17:40 |
| orson | ssn: use grep -v > newfile | 17:40 |
| jelly-bean | how can i setup one user that all new users will clone settings from? (e.g. the hidden $HOME config directories like .purple for pidgin, .mozilla for firefox, xwindows/gnome/xfce/kde settings, etc.) | 17:41 |
| savid | solid_liquid, oh, I didn't know it had one? | 17:41 |
| jelly-bean | OR how can i clone an existing user when creating a new one? | 17:41 |
| stdisease | monub, I use(d) adobe reader linux version with no security issues (but I had no issues with windows version so..) | 17:42 |
| ssn | orson: is there a more elegant solution? | 17:42 |
| solid_liquid | savid, yep | 17:42 |
| solid_liquid | "Well, this is a welcome surprise for those of us waiting for Ubuntu 10.04, the Lucid Lynx. Several users are reporting that their iPod Touches and iPhones (including the 3GS) work in alpha 3 - without tweaking, without jailbreaking, without patching - with Nautilus and Rythmbox." | 17:42 |
| solid_liquid | cool :) | 17:42 |
| Pici | jelly-bean: /etc/skel/ is copied to new user's home directories when they are created. | 17:42 |
| ssn | because i would want to replace the file | 17:42 |
| ssn | the exact same file | 17:42 |
| orson | jelly-bean: copy whatever you need to /etc/skel | 17:42 |
| ssn | if i do it with grep -v, then it would append it | 17:42 |
| jelly-bean | thx Pici, orson | 17:43 |
| dimuls | anyone, after updating, after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? | 17:43 |
| orson | ssn:then use sed, perl, awk | 17:43 |
| === niko is now known as Guest79188 | ||
| === nik0 is now known as niko | ||
| ssn | orson: because i dont know how, im asking here ;) | 17:43 |
| Pici | ssn: sed with the -i arugment can modifiy the initial file. Something like: sed -i s/^*.donotwant.*$// thefile would work | 17:44 |
| ssn | i know that it is somehow possible with these commands | 17:44 |
| ssn | Pici: thx | 17:44 |
| Pici | ssn: You can test using the command without the -i arugment and it will print the modifcation to stdout. Just put -i in when you want it to make the changes. | 17:44 |
| solid_liquid | jelly-bean, you put all the conf files in /etc/profile.d/ | 17:44 |
| dandalion | no luck | 17:45 |
| ssn | Pici: it does not work | 17:45 |
| dandalion | when I did the driver check it didnt register it and said no drivers found | 17:45 |
| timyeung | alabd, goto this site and read the documentation http://nohands.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nohands/trunk/ | 17:45 |
| solid_liquid | jelly-bean, er sorry, in /etc/skel | 17:46 |
| solid_liquid | oh, someone answered already heh | 17:46 |
| dimuls | GeekSquid, it didnt help. still after booting xfce power manager error: "hal deamon is not running". how can i make xfce power manager boot after hal deamon? | 17:46 |

| Azelphur | Juliata: no. | 18:11 |
| Infinito | KaffeeJunky123, then browse to app->nautilus->desktop | 18:11 |
| solid_liquid | Juliata, yes, but I'm not sure how | 18:11 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | Infinito: merci beaucoup :D | 18:12 |
| Azelphur | Juliata: if they are embedded into the video, the text has replaced the video that was there | 18:12 |
| solid_liquid | Juliata, mencoder should be able to do it though | 18:12 |
| Infinito | there's a option "trash_icon_visible" KaffeeJunky123 | 18:12 |
| Infinito | KaffeeJunky123, no problem. | 18:12 |

| jp-- | what should I do? | 18:13 |
| carmentina | yes | 18:13 |
| LjL | Azelphur: doesn't mean it can't be interpolated, i guess | 18:13 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | Infinito: so it should appear right away? | 18:13 |
| solid_liquid | Juliata, unless the subtitles can't be turned off in the player, which means they're actually part of the image stream of the video rather than being stored as text | 18:13 |
| LjL | carmentina: do you have an ubuntu support question? | 18:13 |

| Maletor | Will it be easy to grow to 4 drives after I set up the 3 and it is working? | 18:25 |

| spinner | m | 18:26 |
| solid_liquid | Maletor, if there's a bios utility for it, it may be HW raid | 18:26 |

| orson | Maletor: very likely fakeraid | 18:27 |

| solid_liquid | coldfire, yeah, ~/.bashrc | 18:35 |
| coldfire | solid_liquid: Thanks! | 18:35 |
| cellofellow | wathek: yeah, and you can do that with kvm. Most VPSs you can buy use OpenVZ (or its commercial brother Virtuozzo) or they use Xen. But, I've seen a few with KVM, nothing wrong with KVM. | 18:35 |
| solid_liquid | coldfire, np | 18:35 |
| orson | coldfire: use ~/.profile | 18:36 |
| wathek | cellofellow, really I dunno what to use so if you say that kvm is a good alternative it's OK | 18:36 |
| wathek | :D | 18:36 |
| cellofellow | wathek: with libvirt and virt-manager, setting up a VM server with KVM is really easy. It's the official Ubuntu supported method for virtualization. | 18:36 |

However, I recently did a fresh reinstall of 9.10 and now my printer dose not print, It shows in the dialouges and even starts a print job, and then says "completed" but my printer sits there like a rock. So my first question is "How much of a 'campaign contribution' did canoical receive from canon to mak | 19:22 |
| pfifo | e them agree to remove support for HP products" and will the official slogan be changed to "Ubuntu: It Just Works (unless HP make it)" | 19:22 |

| `mOOse` | Zeo - for irc try mibbit.com | 19:22 |

| frostburn | Maletor, define crumble | 19:34 |
| Elijah1 | Say I have Ubuntu laptop and Ubuntu tower, I want Dropbox to sync them so they are using the same identical Pidgin, settings and all. | 19:34 |
| Maletor | frostburn, very poor performance | 19:34 |
| frostburn | Elijah1, yep i used to do that, but stopped because of log sizes on my netbook | 19:35 |
| Maletor | adobe is still diong beta for 64 bit | 19:35 |
| Maletor | it's kind of pathetic about that company | 19:35 |
| frostburn | Maletor, because flash for 64bit is not mature | 19:35 |

| frostburn | Elijah1, yes they are in regards to a /home directory can usually be used by any other linux distro without too much issue | 19:37 |
| cellofellow | Elijah1: not necessarily. Some put there settings in gconf which isn't really "portable" from one system to another. Ubuntu seems to be promoting CouchDB which will allow data to be easily replicated between machines directly or via Ubuntu One. | 19:38 |
| Elijah1 | guntbert: Meaning, I could run it off a flash drive if I just copied its folder? Windows programs are not like that, usually. | 19:38 |
| orson | Elijah1: if they were statically linked, yes | 19:38 |
| niko-mojo | This doesn;t seem to get my internal speaker working ... hmm sudo modprobe pcspkr | 19:38 |

| guntbert | Elijah1: neither are most linux apps - they use shared libraries and if those are missing .... | 19:38 |
| frostburn | Elijah1, yes that would work, although you'd need to specify where to read the settings from when starting pidgin -cCONF_DIR | 19:38 |

| robinking623 | orson: but i can not use my pcmcia card | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | niko-mojo, Does your computer have a hardware beep? Many computers don't ( in 9.10 the hardware beep is disabled but gnome-terminal uses the system alert sound instead ) | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | niko-mojo, So in 9.04, IIRC, if you don't have a hardware beep you won't hear anything from echo -e '\a' | 19:45 |
| serverduck | Hey I have a t4300 intel processor, I think it's 64 bit. If I install ubuntu 64 bit version will 32 bit aplications work fine? Is the 64 version of ubuntu stable? Advantages of installing 64 bit versions? Or should I get the 32? Thanks! | 19:45 |
| Grey_Loki | frostburn: pidgin tells me that my connection was refused | 19:45 |
| niko-mojo | Jordan_U how can I tell if I have a hardware beep ? | 19:45 |
| Jordan_U | niko-mojo, One way you can test if you have hardware beep is by installing the "beep" package and running "beep" | 19:45 |
| Grey_Loki | frostburn: slight update, seems that web-messenger does work, but i'd much rather have a decent client running :D | 19:46 |

| frostburn | Grey_Loki, check with #pidgin with your error message | 19:56 |
| frostburn | Grey_Loki, are you at work? do they block that port? | 19:56 |
| robinking623 | orson: that it the name of pcmcia card controller not the card | 19:56 |

| orson | robinking623: sure | 19:56 |

| histo | malifal: mount it and chroot to it then you can update from there | 20:16 |
| malifal | histo, besides grub for centos is on /dev/sda3 and not the mbr | 20:16 |
| histo | malifal: what /boot do you want to use? ubuntus or centos? | 20:16 |
| Pinky__ | no it just says no wireless extensions | 20:16 |

| malifal | histo, centos is not there, maybe a bug in grub | 20:19 |

| nibbler | combunio, better try to understand it, so you dont have to remember anything...... | 20:47 |
| histo | gimbal: but I just keep a seperate /home partition and reinstall some times. | 20:47 |
| combunio | nibbler: YEAP, that's what i've been looking for, thanks a lot :D | 20:47 |
| gimbal | histo: niiice. ok | 20:47 |
| acovrig | how do I view display :0.0 via ssh under 9.0.4 (JAUNTY) | 20:47 |
| Stargaze | same here histo | 20:47 |
| histo | gimbal: i've also used the dist-upgrade in the past. | 20:47 |
| Malkavian | albacker: have you tried to make louder? | 20:47 |
| histo | acovrig: what are you trying to do exactly? | 20:47 |
| combunio | nibbler: i dont think i'm gonna remember that ;p too difficult :D | 20:47 |
| Nolan2 | The Windows Boot files are still there, and the OS is too. | 20:47 |
| albacker | Malkavian, to make louder? what do you mean. i have shouted to the mic and i cant hear anything.. only if i really shout hard!!! but that's not a solution and the volumes are max. | 20:48 |
| histo | !who | Nolan2 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Nolan2: 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 :) | 20:48 |
| acovrig | histro, view/control display :0.0 via ssh remotely (I can't forward vnc) :( | 20:48 |
| combunio | nibbler: you saved my time, thx A LOT once again ;) | 20:48 |
| combunio | cya all | 20:48 |
| Nolan2 | Sorry about that histo. | 20:48 |
| Nolan2 | That was to Olu. | 20:48 |
| Olu | one way to make louder is right clicking and adjusting 'sound preferences' | 20:48 |
| histo | acovrig: I don't think you are going to be able to with out vnc or some other solution. You can do X forwarding but that won't be the whole session. | 20:48 |
| Olu | ubottu is a program i think | 20:49 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:49 |
| histo | acovrig: you can run vnc over ssh | 20:49 |
| ayush_aggrwl | does installing more and more packages in ubuntu makes it slow?... like installing more and more softwares in windows makes windows slow? | 20:49 |
| acovrig | histo, how | 20:49 |
| Pici | !bot | Olu :) | 20:49 |
| ubottu | Olu :): Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots | 20:49 |
| mjs7231 | OK, so now I'm having issues with Seahorse. When I try to import my key into Seahorse, it says its an invalid file.. but it works perfectly fine if I use ssh-add. | 20:49 |
| mjs7231 | its an RSA PRIVATE KEY | 20:50 |

| Curly_Q | Nolan2 are you trying to remove Windows to install Linux? | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | ayush_aggrwl: no | 20:50 |
| acovrig | how do I encrypt my ssh connections, how do I know if they are? | 20:50 |
| histo | acovrig: they are | 20:50 |
| Nolan2 | Nope Curly_Q, I'm just trying to dual boot into Windows lol. | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | acovrig: ssh is encrypted by definition | 20:50 |
| histo | acovrig: trying to find the vnc over ssh tutorial for you | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | !vnc | 20:51 |
| ubottu | 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 | 20:51 |
| nibbler | acovrig, sniff the traffic, you wont see anthing. do the same with telnet | 20:51 |
| Nolan2 | If I wanted to remove windows that would be easy, Curly_Q | 20:51 |
| acovrig | histo, tnks | 20:51 |
| Curly_Q | Nolan2 do you have two logical partitions on the Hard Drive? | 20:51 |
| acovrig | nibbler, do u know what airsnort is? | 20:51 |
| Nolan2 | Yes. | 20:51 |
| ryan_ | I needz halp! | 20:51 |
| nibbler | acovrig, sure | 20:51 |
| Crimius | ayush_aggrwl: are they .deb | 20:51 |
| histo | acovrig: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC The port forwarding section explains it | 20:51 |
| guntbert | ryan_: talk english please | 20:51 |
| mjs7231 | bullgard, is that for my issue? | 20:51 |
| kerebrus | Anyone here good with mplayer? | 20:51 |
| ryan_ | How can I make a bootable USB for a distro other than ubuntu, such as WindowsXP? | 20:51 |
| Curly_Q | Have you done an fdisk/mbr on the windows portion before installing Windows? | 20:52 |
| ayush_aggrwl | Crimius: yes ..they are | 20:52 |
| nibbler | ryan_, good luck :p | 20:52 |
| xangua | ryan_: windows xp is not a distro :S | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | Nolan2: i would try this, resotre windows bootloader. (you need a windows installcd ask in ##windows) if windows boots ok after that. reinstall grub following instructions in !grub2. hope for the best | 20:52 |
| Malkavian | albacker: have you tried the Karmic live cd? | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | 20:52 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 20:52 |
| histo | acovrig: basically ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 acovrig@remote.server.address | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | ryan_: unetbootin | 20:52 |
| jadakren | xangua, welll technically.... | 20:52 |
| Curly_Q | fdisk/MBR also removes any Linux Loader. | 20:52 |
| ryan_ | nibbler: fine, OS. You guys know what I mean -.- | 20:52 |
| Nolan2 | Curly_Q: Nope. | 20:52 |
| bullgard | mjs7231: No. Please excuse me. | 20:52 |
| histo | acovrig: then use a vnclient and point it at localhost:5900 to view it | 20:52 |
| === GhostEyes is now known as RainbowEyes | ||
| Crimius | ayush_aggrwl: sorry, my client wasn't scrowling, did somebody solve your issue with it already? | 20:53 |
| Nolan2 | Okar erUSUL, I'll try that. | 20:53 |
| ayush_aggrwl | no | 20:53 |
| mjs7231 | bullgard, lol np, its just a similar issue I suppose. :) | 20:53 |
| McAwesome | hey | 20:53 |
| nibbler | ryan_, this is ubuntu support... | 20:53 |
| Stargaze | peentelefoon: nederlands? | 20:53 |
| Nolan2 | Then I'll probably use Wubi to install Ubuntu, rather than the LiveCD. | 20:53 |
| Curly_Q | A blinking cursor just means no formatting or OS. | 20:53 |
| McAwesome | for the show desktop plugin in ccsm, i don't see any option to activate | 20:53 |
| ayush_aggrwl | crimus: no | 20:53 |
| ryan_ | nibbler: it is, i'm trying to do this INSIDE of ubuntu. | 20:53 |
| jadakren | Nolan2, wubi only brings pain | 20:53 |
| peentelefoon | yep | 20:54 |
| snb | hi guys | 20:54 |
| Stargaze | vl of nl? | 20:54 |
| snb | i have a question | 20:54 |
| Nolan2 | Curly_Q, Idk... | 20:54 |
| Nolan2 | jadakren, why so? | 20:54 |
| peentelefoon | r'dam | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | !ask | snb | 20:54 |
| ubottu | snb: 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. :-) | 20:54 |
| gimbal | alright maybe I can answer this on my own, but I wouldn't mind a live answer if available: If I install Ubuntu onto a disk having two partitions only (one swap, one regular filesystem) and the regular-fs part has my home dir on it, can I install Ubuntu onto that partition without wiping out Home? | 20:54 |
| Stargaze | ryan_: windows cannot be made bootable from USB | 20:54 |
| guntbert | !ot | Stargaze | 20:54 |
| ubottu | Stargaze: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 20:54 |
| jadakren | McAwesome, open the general tab of the ccsm instead | 20:54 |
| erUSUL | gimbal: no | 20:55 |
| snb | how can i add additional language in the language bar of ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| gimbal | erUSUL: got it; figures as much heh | 20:55 |
| ryan_ | Stargaze: Um, yes it can. I've done it before. Just not inside Ubuntu. | 20:55 |

| TLF | I've lost my configure sound icon on gnome, how can I reenable it? | 20:55 |
| nibbler | ryan_, thats about as close as having a windows-cd on a reformatted ubuntu-cd to me :) | 20:55 |
| gimbal | oh but if I sprinkle pixie-dust on the CD first?? (j/k heh) | 20:55 |
| snb | i'll give a try thanks erUSUL | 20:55 |
| Olu | use gparted and make 8GB seperate first | 20:56 |
| jadakren | Nolan2, because the filesystem health of a wubi install relies on the healthly defragmentation levels of a ntfs partition ... (since the wubi partition is nought but a file on a ntfs drive) | 20:56 |
| Crimius | ayush_aggrwl: you should be able to just dbl click it, if not then run sudo dpkg -i [package_name] | 20:56 |
| jcole | is there a way to get gnome remote desktop (vino) with the java viewer? i can do it in tightvncviewer and x11vnc... perhaps there is a vino+x11vnc trick/hackaround to get the java viewer in vino? | 20:56 |
| Curly_Q | Stargaze, you can boot Windows from a USB: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html | 20:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | How long has "Connect to Server" had support for ssh? Why didn't someone tell me about this awesome feature? :) | 20:56 |
| Nolan2 | I see. | 20:56 |
| jcole | most windows and mac users dont have vncviewer install, but they usually have java installed | 20:56 |
| Nolan2 | well, I'm going to try what you said erUSUL | 20:56 |
| gimbal | ZykoticK9: because it got lost among the gogoplex other new features available among all open source apps? :) | 20:57 |
| McAwesome | jadakren, ah, i see, thanks | 20:57 |
| erUSUL | Nolan2: good luck | 20:57 |
| histo | jcole: well the java viewer should work with vino | 20:57 |
| jadakren | McAwesome, compizconfig-settings-manager > general > [key bindings] \/ Show Desktop << is this option set to a key binding ? | 20:57 |
| histo | jcole: i thought vino was just another vnc server | 20:57 |
| TLF | I've lost my configure sound icon on gnome, how can I reenable it? | 20:57 |
| Nolan2 | erUSUL, thanks :) | 20:57 |

But no matter what I do to set it up, apache returns permission denied when trying to access that directory.

| CRACKBOY | Ok man | 21:10 |
| tiki | jadakren: skype would only let me use the default sound output. I could not set it to output through my headset instead of my speakers. Someone on this IRC suggested that I remove pulseaudio, and it fixed that problem. (It used to only say "PulseAudio Server (local)" and now it lists all of my audio hardware. | 21:10 |
| CRACKBOY | is this Ubuntu salen? | 21:10 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: ubuntu support only | 21:10 |
| CRACKBOY | ah right :) | 21:11 |
| CRACKBOY | sorry | 21:11 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 what is the command for running in x11 and gl as vo outputs | 21:11 |
| jadakren | tiki, doesn't pulseaudio control where the sound goes ? | 21:11 |
| CRACKBOY | Ok how i can get the newest Source list of Apt-get ? | 21:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, "mplayer -vo x11 $file" and -"vo gl" | 21:11 |
| tiki | jadakren: It does, but skype could only let it take the default output | 21:11 |
| CRACKBOY | i find always the old version of softwares with mine | 21:11 |

| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 Running both ways still gives same error as before: Cannot find codec for audio format 0x50. | 21:13 |

| jadakren | !pm > tiki | 21:14 |
| ubottu | tiki, please see my private message | 21:14 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: really, I thought you where running the backtrack livecd ? | 21:14 |
| guntbert | Olu: this channel is for ubuntu support and *very* busy - just for learning irc try /join #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:14 |
| obiwan_ | guys, i disabled iptables, enabled ALL:ALL in my hosts.allow, set forwarding in my router to my wlan ip, what else may be collapsing ssh incoming connections? i get timed out always | 21:15 |
| CRACKBOY | yes i've 2 pc | 21:15 |
| jadakren | tiki, you should turn off join/part messages for this channel | 21:15 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 http://pastebin.com/JnjFqvR9 | 21:15 |
| CRACKBOY | i swear that with lsb it come 8.10 | 21:15 |
| CRACKBOY | so | 21:15 |
| nibbler | obiwan: tcpdump the connection to debug | 21:15 |
| tiki | jadakren: sorry about that pm, i'm new to this channel. And I'll try it out to see if it works | 21:15 |
| Stargaze | Olu: for beginners there's ubuntuclips.org | 21:15 |
| nolan | any advice on how to create an ubuntu derivative? | 21:15 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: if you go to system -> administration -> synaptic, when that application opens it will update your sources info to current | 21:15 |
| ikonia | nolan: not supported here | 21:16 |
| guntbert | !ot | nolan | 21:16 |
| ubottu | nolan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:16 |
| nolan | oh ok thanks | 21:16 |
| jadakren | tiki, padsp is like aoss but for pulseaudio instead. | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | i make apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:16 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: why ? | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | but when i download amsn i found the version is 0.97 | 21:16 |
| tiki | jadakren: whats aoss? I'm completely lost. | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | and the last in the website is 0.98 | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | to update | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | the source | 21:16 |
| CRACKBOY | ? | 21:16 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: that will be the latest version in the ubuntu 8.10 repo | 21:16 |
| rob0917 | How long could you potentially use an ubuntu edition even after the update time period was exhausted ? | 21:17 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: don't build from source unless you %100 know what you're doing and how to manage custom packages/application | 21:17 |
| CRACKBOY | but amsn is not the newest | 21:17 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: you're using an old version of ubuntu | 21:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, try throwing "-alang en" and test | 21:17 |
| CRACKBOY | oh really !!! | 21:17 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: 8.10 is October 2008 release | 21:17 |
| jadakren | tiki, some apps will only use one particular sound server, wine for example used to only want to use OSS, so to get wine apps to work with ALSA you had to wrap them with aoss.... | 21:17 |
| obiwan_ | thanx nibbler | 21:17 |
| marek__ | hey guys. i asked already and tried a lot of things...but did anybody successfully install looking glass on karmic? | 21:17 |
| Stargaze | marek i tried it too and it didn't work | 21:18 |
| CRACKBOY | how i can update it ? | 21:18 |
| jadakren | tiki, same concept here with padsp and pulseaudio | 21:18 |

| CRACKBOY | oké ! | 21:18 |
| marek__ | Stargaze: did you have problems with the repos and then the post-installation script? | 21:18 |
| Stavros | hello | 21:18 |
| jadakren | tiki, but i don't have the problem you're having since my laptop just turns speakers off when i plug in headphones | 21:18 |
| Stargaze | don't remember marek_ | 21:19 |
| Stavros | i would like to compile a program that's available as a package, and i'd like the program to overwrite that package, how can i do this? | 21:19 |
| nibbler | Stavros, start by uninstalling the program | 21:19 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 now im not having this problem for all iso vids just 2 | 21:19 |
| Stavros | nibbler: what will that accomplish? | 21:19 |
| tiki | jadakren: I read the padsp page, and it seems easy enough to use. I sort of understand how it works. I'm goign to install it now and report how it works out. | 21:19 |
| ikonia | Saikor: compile the prorgram with the same parameters as the package and install it | 21:20 |
| CRACKBOY | think you ikonia very very much !!! i found the tool of upgrade!!!!!! | 21:20 |
| Stavros | ikonia: is there an easy way to learn the parameters, though? | 21:20 |
| Stavros | ikonia: like, which directory it goes in, etc | 21:20 |

| nibbler | Stavros, it will stop avoid having consuing installations next to each other. check checkinstall for the rest | 21:20 |
| Stavros | prefix | 21:20 |
| Olu | can i join a loco team if the state is close with mine own? | 21:20 |
| Stavros | nibbler: they won't be next to each other, they'll be on top of each other | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Stavros: not really, you have to unpackage it and look at the options | 21:20 |
| Stavros | i.e. i'll only have the second one | 21:20 |
| Stavros | ikonia: hmm, i see | 21:20 |
| jadakren | tiki, be aware that its a part of pulseaudio, so installing it will bring pulseaudio back. | 21:20 |
| Stavros | ikonia: is there an easy way to do that? | 21:20 |
| obiwan_ | nibbler: man tcpdump is really large, what exactly should i use? | 21:20 |
| ikonia | Olu: you sure can | 21:20 |
| tiki | jadakren: ^_^ got it! | 21:21 |
| CRACKBOY | Ikonia when i update kde to 4 in start window i make the root password he said "root login not allowed" why? | 21:21 |
| CRACKBOY | so i | 21:21 |
| CRACKBOY | login with console | 21:21 |
| CRACKBOY | !!! | 21:21 |
| nibbler | obiwan_, well, if you dont have any other ssh connection from/to this box, use tcpdump port ssh | 21:21 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: ou're not allowed to login as root on ubuntu | 21:21 |
| guntbert | !enter | CRACKBOY | 21:21 |
| ubottu | CRACKBOY: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:21 |
| CRACKBOY | hah ok | 21:22 |
| CRACKBOY | sorry | 21:22 |
| CRACKBOY | so i understand that i should make another account ? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: yes, your usr account | 21:22 |
| CRACKBOY | can't login with root ? | 21:22 |
| nibbler | !root | CRACKBOY | 21:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, do you know is it AAC audio? you might be able to check in VLC somehow (do you have it installed? i don't use it so not really an expert in vlc, but saw something mentioned about file properties) | 21:22 |
| ubottu | CRACKBOY: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:22 |
| pawleeq | hello | 21:23 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 i have vlc installed but it does not play the audio on that file either | 21:23 |
| CRACKBOY | i need the access, yes but im tired with tayping sudo sudo sudo !!!!! can i make crackboy account with root power? | 21:23 |
| Geine | hi there | 21:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, but can it tell us the audio format? | 21:23 |
| Geine | what is the best way to copy lot of files over network? | 21:23 |
| Stavros | CRACKBOY: sudo bash | 21:23 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: also look at sudo -i | 21:23 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: if you have to ask - you shouldn't as it's dangerous | 21:23 |
| ikonia | Stavros: no, launching a shell like that is not recommended | 21:24 |
| obiwan_ | nibbler: i get 0 pckets to all (captures, droped by the kernel and received by filter) | 21:24 |
| Stavros | ikonia: oh hmm, why not? | 21:24 |
| jaypur_pc | can someone help me to set a counter-strike 1.6 server on linux??? | 21:24 |
| CRACKBOY | okey, i should left because i feel you be angry lol,^^ thx as always and can i found you here everytimes? | 21:24 |
| nibbler | obiwan_, so the packets dont make it to the box | 21:24 |
| ikonia | !root | Stavros | 21:24 |
| ubottu | Stavros: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 21:24 |
| ikonia | !sudo | Stavros | 21:25 |
| ubottu | Stavros: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 21:25 |
| CRACKBOY | ikonia how old are you ? | 21:25 |
| ikonia | CRACKBOY: what does that matter ? | 21:25 |
| jasunto | how come if i redirect like so, it leave an empty file "sort filename > filename" | 21:25 |
| Stargaze | !cli | 21:25 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 mpga | 21:25 |
| 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 or type in it: man intro | 21:25 |
| Geine | need help, I have 70GB I need to copy it from one pc to another for back, what is the best and fastest command I can use? | 21:25 |
| jaypur_pc | lol got it | 21:25 |
| abstrakt | how can i add to or edit /etc/hosts via bash scripting? | 21:25 |
| CRACKBOY | cp -f geine | 21:25 |
| Stavros | ikonia: hmm, sudo -s is even better | 21:25 |
| KB1JWQ | abstrakt: sudo, and a text editor | 21:25 |
| jasunto | how come if i redirect like so, it leave an empty file "sort filename > filename" | 21:25 |
| ikonia | Stavros: yes, that can work well too | 21:25 |
| abstrakt | sudo echo "foo" >> /etc/hosts gives permission denied | 21:25 |
| ikonia | Geine: network will determaine your speed, not command | 21:25 |
| KB1JWQ | abstrakt: sudo won't work on echo. | 21:26 |
| abstrakt | KB1JWQ, uhhh, via shell scripting? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | jasunto: it's returning no results | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: echo "new line to add" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts | 21:26 |
| Geine | CRACKBOY, or rsync ? | 21:26 |
| abstrakt | hmm | 21:26 |
| abstrakt | erUSUL, ok what's tee? | 21:26 |
| KB1JWQ | abstrakt: If you want to use echo, you'll have to pipe via tee | 21:26 |
| abstrakt | k | 21:26 |
| jasunto | if i do sort filename it does on screen | 21:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | kerebrus, dude i have no idea then? sorry man. best of luck, hope you find someone with an answer. | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: or sudo sh -c 'echo "foo" >> /etc/hosts' | 21:26 |
| KB1JWQ | abstrakt: man tee | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | abstrakt: man tee | 21:26 |
| Stavros | ikonia: hmm, actually sudo -s is the same as sudo bash | 21:26 |
| kerebrus | ZykoticK9 well thanks anyways | 21:26 |
| Stavros | the home folder is the user's home, which can overwrite files | 21:26 |
| abstrakt | i was doing cat /etc/hosts | sed -e "s/..../...../" > /etc/hosts | 21:26 |
| Stavros | so it's not very nice indeed | 21:27 |
| abstrakt | yeah or you could just tell me the gist | 21:27 |
| abstrakt | but whatever, i'll man tee | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | jasunto: sort filename > filename.tmp && mv filename.tmp filename | 21:27 |
| jasunto | i sort filename and get what i want on screen, the sort filename > filename and i get empty file | 21:27 |
| jasunto | ill try thanks | 21:27 |
| DasEi | why can't I modprobe compat-ioctl32 ? it's in the kernel ( well, should be, as the bot says) | 21:27 |
| nibbler | jasunto, you cannto use same file for in+output | 21:28 |
| Stavros | ikonia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6188826&postcount=4 apparently, sudo -i is the recommended mode, thanks for that | 21:28 |
| erUSUL | DasEi: what are you trying to do ? | 21:28 |
| Gangrel | any idea where i can find audacious 2.2 in deb package? | 21:28 |

| tiki | jadakren: alright, I'll look it up | 21:33 |

| erUSUL | !rootshell | weaselkeeper | 21:33 |
| ubottu | weaselkeeper: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 21:33 |
| jadakren | tiki, good start would be to search for pulseaudio and the type of soundcard you have | 21:33 |

| scootsm | Hi, I have two quirks with gnome and then the setup is perfect... I want to launch gnome-panel in an X tunnel and have it also launch the gnome-wm (I think?) as part of the startup.. How would I best do that? Also, when it prompts for my password to launch something, it tries to fade out everything else... is there an easy way to turn that off? | 21:48 |
| Slart | abstrakt: open terminal, run gconf-editor, go to Apps, nautilus, desktop.. uncheck "volumes visible" | 21:48 |
| dj_baggio | hmm....but should be something what can summarize download/upload for each other ip, yes? | 21:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | scootsm, that is a bad idea if i understand what your trying to do | 21:48 |

| CamFox | nullp0inter: Are you connecting to the share from a windows machine? | 22:03 |
| nullp0inter | no, ubuntu 8.04 | 22:04 |

| Gene1 | does anyone here have any familiarity with usb midi and ubuntu 9.10? | 22:04 |
| CamFox | Oh, you can probably put in the name of the server, i.e. the name after the @ symbol at your command prompt. | 22:04 |
| CamFox | nullp0inter: ignore that, then. | 22:05 |
| CamFox | Use the name of your windows 7 box, ask me if you don't know how to find this... | 22:05 |
| DasEi | tiki: if you start skype, log in, then richt-click the icon in top-bar > options | 22:05 |

| m_fulder | dimuls, where do I put my path in the file? before exit 0 = | 22:07 |

| hystreni | i cant find really how to install msttcorefonts in wine, i guess im retarded | 22:08 |
| CamFox | nullp0inter: no, when you set up the share on WIndows 7 you would have given the share a name. Use this. You can find it by right clicking on the shared folder and selecting 'share' or whatever | 22:08 |
| Gene1 | baatti, you could also download 'gparted' and try that | 22:08 |
| CamFox | nullp0inter: I don't have a windows 7 box so can't say exactly | 22:08 |

| Curly_Q | Nolan2 Sorry for not following completely what you were doing. However, I do know that there might be a CMOS setup problem. What is happening now with your installation? | 22:20 |
| tiki | DasEi: sorry, I had to restart X, so i didnt see the message. My original problem was with Skype only listing "PulseAudio server (local) as a sound device. I solved this problem originally by removing pulseaudio, so that skype could default to Alsa. By doing this, however, I disabled most of my sound preferences and removed the functionality of my keyboard volume keys. This was something I needed, and I could not afford to lose, so I r | 22:20 |
| tiki | einstalled Skype. I was then presented with the same problem I had at the beggining. After tryong an oss wrapper and padfs without avail, I was about to give up. That's when I came across this very issue in a skype forum. The solution was simple: Make skype start a call and at that moment switch the output prefences for the skype plugin while it is still active in the pulseaudio settings. This solved all of my problems... | 22:20 |
| frostburn | zapper_, where are you moving the files to/from you might have a bad switch and it's eating all the processing power | 22:20 |
| nullp0inter | CamFox: i just typed it in wrogn the first time sorry | 22:20 |

| nullp0inter | CamFox: the underscore is right in network_share however | 22:21 |

| Jordan_U | Nolan2, That's probably a problem on Windows' end rather than grub's. | 22:22 |
| zapper_ | so you think is an issue with the router? How can i solve it? | 22:23 |
| frostburn | zapper_, yeah, you're hosing your upload so all other traffic cannot reliably do handshakes | 22:23 |
| nullp0inter | CamFox: doesnt work | 22:23 |
| Nolan2 | Jordan_U, I was afraid of that. But all of the files are still there.... | 22:23 |
| Curly_Q | Nolan2 try this. If you have a Windows 98 boot disk with SMART on it, do an fdisk and check if there is stuff on your partitions.

| nullp0inter | CamFox: i just opened up netoworks, and clicked on 'Windows Network' it then dispayed 'WORKGROUP' clicked on that, it says 'Opening WORKGROUP' then fails | 22:25 |

| oskar- | Nolan2: then the mbr is ok. maybe the grub boot entry for windows wrong, or the boot sector for the windows partition. have you tried auto-creating a new grub config? | 22:31 |
| zcat[1] | Nolan2: you probably only need to boot the windows cd, get to recovery console and run fixmbr (and perhaps fixboot) but if you're not 100% sure take a backup first too. | 22:31 |
| Curly_Q | Nolan2, the next thing to do is to copy that data, however, you may still run into a problem. The type of file system that is looking at that data may convert it while copying. Use the NTFS Windows to copy that data unless Ubuntu has a perfect replication of that data. Then burn it on a CD or copy it to another drive. | 22:31 |
| oskar- | zcat[1]: fixboot, not fixmbr. the latter would overwrite the working grub | 22:32 |
| geniv | FloodBot2: help | 22:32 |
| Curly_Q | Use a bootable CD for that. | 22:33 |
| Curly_Q | Then copy all of your stuff to a memory stick. | 22:33 |
| zcat[1] | oskar-: yeah but it's easily repaired ;) | 22:33 |
| Curly_Q | Fixboot does not always work. | 22:33 |
| zcat[1] | I'm never sure what command fixes what part of the boot sequence ;) | 22:34 |
| oskar- | Curly_Q: but fixmbr will repair nothing and destroy grub in this case | 22:34 |

| Nolan2 | oskar-, how do I go about recreating a new grub config? | 22:35 |
| Curly_Q | Oskar this is why I suggested to not write to the disk. Use either slaving that drive and recovering that data or just use a bootable disk such as bart's Boot Disk or any Linux bootable disk. | 22:35 |
| supremearyal | shazbotmcnasty, scp | 22:35 |

| Curly_Q | Oskar, I will explain the incredible advantage of using it. Let us suppose you install Xubuntu or Linux Red Hat9 or Windows XP or anything for that matter. Acronis will copy it exactly and you do not ever have to re-install the OS or kernel ever. It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to fully copy your disk to not only another disk but your original disk. | 22:51 |

| blakkheim | MasterShrek: a virus on ubuntu? | 23:17 |
| ugliefrog | is there a reason gparted wont format to ntfs | 23:17 |
| adambuntu | kisuke, install windows 7 on the first partition of the drive, then put ubuntu on the next. | 23:17 |
| MasterShrek | blakkheim, no a virus in firefox | 23:17 |
| blakkheim | ugliefrog: install ntfsprogs | 23:17 |
| blakkheim | MasterShrek: explain | 23:17 |
| MasterShrek | blakkheim, but yes, on ubuntu | 23:17 |
| Younder | blakkheim, last I heard there were 50 or so in the wild | 23:17 |
| karpus | adambuntu: but I disabled ufw, the firewall that came with ubuntu, and I'm not connected to a router or any other device with NAT functionality, so the port should be open | 23:18 |
| MasterShrek | blakkheim, its hijackin her browser, wont spread through the system or anything, and even if it did the worst that would happen is it would screw up the user, but her browser cache needs to be cleared | 23:18 |
| MasterShrek | and i forgot to set up ssh on her new machine, so i gotta go forward a port lol | 23:18 |
| VCoolio | Barridus: actually check nautilus > edit > preferences > behavior tab first; easier if it works | 23:18 |
| kisuke | adambuntu: with an OEM install? | 23:18 |

| studentz | Please Help me out. After nvidia card upgrade I have a green screen. I can only access to terminal in recovery mode. | 23:19 |
| MasterShrek | studentz, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new i think should do it | 23:20 |
| adambuntu | kisuke, no. you will have to resize the partition with the os disk. | 23:20 |
| Younder | MasterShrek, If you want to be sure you can run SNORT. a net filter the flags suspicious activity | 23:20 |
| adambuntu | karpus, did you open port 2222 | 23:20 |
| MasterShrek | Younder, never heard of it, ill have to give it a try | 23:20 |
| kisuke | adambuntu: read: bo buy anew licence for win 7, partition the drive, etc... | 23:20 |
| Barridus | VCoolio, i checked that already actually already. media_automount and media_automount_open are checked. seems to mount when the laptop is on and you plug it in, but it's connected to a hub and is always on anyways so unplug/replug is somewhat of a hassle. | 23:21 |
| karpus | adambuntu: yes, since I inactivated ufw, all ports are free | 23:21 |
| studentz | MasterShreck I'm sorry I mean after driver upgrade. I start x from terminal and I have this error "mistmatch kernel 195.30 nvidia driver 195.36.08 " | 23:21 |
| adambuntu | kisuke, no. put the os disk from the machine in, which you should be able to create with the os that is installed, then startup the machine, resize the disk, then install it. the other option, is go get a system disk to resize the partion like gparted, use it to resize the partition, then reinstall the oem software/os on the first drive | 23:22 |
| adambuntu | karpus, check this, see if there is something you missed. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/openssh-server.html | 23:22 |
| VCoolio | Barridus: I see, then try fstab. You know how that works? | 23:22 |
| adambuntu | dinner guys, brb | 23:22 |
| Barridus | sort of. | 23:22 |
| Barridus | VCoolio, never done usb devices with it. | 23:23 |
| MasterShrek | studentz, sounds like a broken install of the driver, try removing it maybe. how did you install it? | 23:23 |
| actionParsnip | yo yo yo | 23:23 |
| MasterShrek | !fstab > Barridus | 23:23 |
| ubottu | Barridus, please see my private message | 23:23 |
| VCoolio | Barridus: trick is to find the right /dev/??, get it mounted by pluggins it in the 'hassle' way and then do 'mount' in a terminal to check mounts | 23:23 |
| kisuke | adambuntu: ok thanks | 23:24 |
| studentz | MasterShreck: Yes I agree, How I can uninstall the driver or revert to a previous state? | 23:24 |
| MasterShrek | studentz, it depends on how you installed it, i would guess through the hardware update thing, i would try: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-glx-new | 23:25 |
| actionParsnip | studentz: dpkg -l | grep nvida will show the installed nvidia stuffs | 23:25 |
| MasterShrek | studentz, if at all possible, try the driver straight from nvidia, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html | 23:26 |
| actionParsnip | MasterShrek: studentz : or add the nvidia pp ad use that (easier) | 23:26 |
| studentz | MasterShreck: I tried dpk-reconfigure xserver-xorg But I did not work, I will try Thanks | 23:26 |
| actionParsnip | ppa and* | 23:26 |
| MasterShrek | actionParsnip, i was unaware that existed, ill have to keep it in mind. | 23:27 |
| actionParsnip | studentz: if you remove all nvida packages you will revert to the opensource nv driver | 23:27 |
