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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
rampage73 | ok anyone got an eee pc t91mt ? wondering if there is working mt driver and where ? | 01:46 |
histo | NitaiPal: lshw | 01:46 |
rampage73 | sorry touch screen | 01:46 |
vox | NitaiPal: sudo lshw |more | 01:46 |
ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: i686 is 32bit | 01:46 |
LavaEagle | My bad | 01:47 |
LavaEagle | wrong numbers | 01:47 |

syn-ack | thats what it would look like LavaEagle | 01:49 |
ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: like syn-ack says | 01:49 |
LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: But then why would it not let me install a 32bit app? | 01:49 |

adrian26 | Hi, somebody know how to install tv cards in ubuntu | 01:51 |
ActionParsnip | !mint | lavaeagle | 01:51 |
ubottu | lavaeagle: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 01:51 |
ActionParsnip | Lavaeagle: mint isn't supported here | 01:51 |
Dr_Willis | adrian26: for mine.. I just plug it in.. and install/run whtever tool i want to use it | 01:51 |
Puffin | da da da | 01:51 |
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 |
Puffin | 32 bit is winnar | 01:52 |
ActionParsnip | Nitaipal: how much ram is in the system? | 01:52 |

LavaEagle | ActionParsnip: Even though it's Ubuntu based? | 01:52 |
ActionParsnip | !virtual | devdz | 01:52 |
ubottu | devdz: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 01:52 |
NitaiPal | http://pastebin.com/01AK2nrd | 01:52 |
NitaiPal | that's my lshw http://pastebin.com/01AK2nrd | 01:52 |
syn-ack | LavaEagle: just because it's based on ubuntu does NOT make it anymore ubuntu than ubuntu is Debian | 01:53 |
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 |
LavaEagle | Ahh sorry about that | 01:53 |
adrian26 | can't open /dev/video0 | 01:54 |
ActionParsnip | lavaeagle: there are tonnes of ubuntu based systems which are equally not supported | 01:54 |
Dr_Willis | Equal Opurtinity Unsupported. :) | 01:54 |
syn-ack | exactly | 01:54 |
rats | LavaEagle: the folka at irc.spotchat.org #linuxmint-help will be more than delighted to help | 01:54 |

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 |

kerebrus | How do I find out the network name of my computer? | 01:59 |
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 |

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: you can try the older packge if you want but I would build from source. | 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 | !fsck | harisund | 03:00 |
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 |

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 |

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 |

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: 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
* pangolin_rollin Waves hello | 04:51 |
DJ | hey yall | 04:51 |
dsnyders | Has anybody gotten kpovmodeler working in 9.04? | 04:52 |
fivetwentysix | brjann: that's okay, thank you so much | 04:52 |
brjann | fivetwentysix: you're welcome :) | 04:52 |
Jon- | Printer issue, please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/386073/ | 04:53 |
pangolin_rollin | anyone have gps experience? | 04:53 |
fivetwentysix | brjann: Hey would you know how to overwrite the boot loader for my pc at home, I want to install linux on it since i got 3 harddrives, 2 of which are empty, however it's a dell xps 9000 and I cant seem to be able to boot from cd :-( | 04:54 |

=== mod is now known as Guest58151 |
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 |
Ghost1227 | much as i hate to admit it, i need help... i haven't configured X in ages but i now find myself needing to use an ubuntu box that is forcing 800x600 resolution on an i915 | 05:10 |
axisys | Jon-: thanks | 05:11 |
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 |
axisys | Jon-: thanks | 05:14 |
Jon- | haha | 05:15 |
sloopy | dsnyders, i upgraded my router machine from 8.04 to 9.10, i tried firestarter for the FW but it is sucking up 100% cpu on one of the cores... | 05:15 |
jrtayloriv | arand, Thanks | 05:15 |
sloopy | dsnyders, so i am going back to just using a iptables script i made... | 05:15 |
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 |
dsnyders | sloopy, so you want to know where to put the iptables script? | 05:16 |
sloopy | GeekSquid, yeah i said that ;') | 05:16 |
alcala | Hello!! =) | 05:16 |
sloopy | dsnyders, yeah i just made a rc.d dir in /etc | 05:16 |

Jon- | sloopy I found C:\WINNT\system32\spool\PRINTERS it contains .SHD and .SPL files. What would you like me to check? | 05:17 |
MrPockets | what the HECK would make the menu font in certain applications different? | 05:17 |
GeekSquid | MrPockets: like what application? | 05:17 |
alcala | does anybody has any experience on configuring WEBCAM on any msn client?? | 05:18 |
MrPockets | the file menus in OpenOffice Writer, and all the font in VirtualBox | 05:18 |
MrPockets | but like, Evolituon, FF, xChat, all gine | 05:18 |
MrPockets | fine* | 05:18 |
b2p1mp | im such a noob, my win7 desktop had the printer attached windows shared(LPT1), on my laptop i goto printers, add under Network choose Windows Samba then input the info to locate the printer.... i cant seem to locate it though. | 05:18 |
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

=== 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 |

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 |

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 |

mattgyver | rastasean, it almost sounds as if its running as root and your trying to restart it as a normal user | 06:20 |
djo | french | 06:20 |
rastasean | <mattgyver> I do sudo, tho | 06:20 |

Jon- | Can a non-network printer that does work over smb work on ubuntu over samba, or am I wasting my time? | 06:20 |
sloopy | theadmin, i dont have time to explain... i need to go to bed... go into /etc/rc2.d and do a ls -l | 06:21 |
rastasean | <mattgyver> i type sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start | 06:21 |
rastasean | it mentions some running process that seems to be locked up | 06:21 |
mattgyver | yeah, you could try a sudo killall vsftpd and then try running it again | 06:21 |
RPG-Master | OK, need help sorting through a FRIGGIN' huge lost+found folder. Nautilus can't handle all the stupid empty folders and blank inode files | 06:22 |
rastasean | matt, still denies me :( | 06:22 |
BankHead | Visit #GeneralDiscussion for offtopic chat | 06:22 |
rastasean | matt, pgrep doesn't show anything running | 06:23 |
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 |
RPG-Master | But there are MANY randomly named folders in there :/ | 06:29 |
sloopy | RPG-Master, use the shell to start divide and conquer... | 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 |
BankHead | Sorry | 06:30 |
becker_11 | haha I thought he was a bot and someone got introuble for off topic lol | 06:30 |
rww | becker_11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys#Generating%20RSA%20Keys | 06:30 |
becker_11 | rww thanks | 06:30 |
RPG-Master | sloopy, What commands should I use? I'd like to find files by type (flac, mkv, jpg, etc.) | 06:30 |
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 |
rww | becker_11: no problem. Let me know if that link isn't clear :) | 06:31 |

ubottu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 06:31 |
becker_11 | rww: will do - brb | 06:31 |
rastasean | matt, yeah i was thinking the same | 06:31 |
rastasean | matt, do i have the start command correct | 06:31 |
mattgyver | yeah | 06:31 |
sloopy | RPG-Master, not easy to do... the command 'file' should tell you what type a specific file is... | 06:32 |
Rebelstar | Hello, 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 | 06:32 |
NoraZoe | i want to change the theme and log in screen but i cant seem to figure out how | 06:32 |
NoraZoe | can anyone help | 06:32 |
Jon- | Does printing of a Windows printer over samba work or not? I need to know if I am just wasting my time.. See: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386105/ | 06:33 |
rastasean | MATT | 06:33 |
sloopy | OP bankhead is sending random invites to another channel... | 06:33 |
rastasean | I think I have have solved it | 06:33 |
BankHead | O_o? | 06:33 |
mattgyver | rastasean, what was wrong? | 06:33 |
rastasean | i deleted the vsftpd.pid file | 06:34 |
Madpilot | sloopy, BankHead - ? | 06:34 |
NoraZoe | can anyone help me please i cant figure out why i cant add any new themes | 06:34 |
sloopy | yes | 06:34 |
mattgyver | rastasean, ahh, so its working now | 06:34 |
BankHead | Wtf? | 06:34 |
BankHead | I stopped 5min ago | 06:34 |
rastasean | matt, sudo rm - /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd.pid | 06:34 |
rastasean | yes, looks like it started | 06:34 |
mattgyver | cool | 06:34 |
sloopy | i got an invite at 1:31 and 1:33 (local time) | 06:35 |
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 |
dj_segfault1 | Itadakimasu: Software Center is dumbed down and only includes the common stuff. So both do the same thing but Software Center gives you fewer choices. | 06:48 |
rww | cyberbluntz: assuming that you're trying to play DVDs on it (it's a general movie player...), https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | 06:49 |
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 |
becker_11 | Rebelstar: and edit the file in nano | 06:49 |
arand | RPG-Master: photorec may or may not recover/reorganise better, and you can also choose to recover by filetype, which might be useful for organization, it's part of the "testdisk" package if you're interested | 06:49 |
Rebelstar | backer_11:ok thanks i l try it out | 06:50 |
rww | fudgey_muffins: That link is inappropriate for Ubuntu channels. Please don't paste it here. | 06:50 |
cyberbluntz | ive installed the libdvdcss2 already | 06:50 |
Jordan_U | dandaman, For moving to an Ubuntu install on its own partition: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html | 06:50 |
julius632 | hi i was installed anon-proxy in ubuntu 9.10 ,but i can't connect with other server alone one.HELP | 06:50 |
RPG-Master | arand, I know about photorec... but it don't recognize some files I had :( | 06:50 |
dj_segfault1 | patrick_____: "at" is designed to do things in the future, like "echo 'shutdown -h now' | at now + 45 minutes | 06:50 |
muaddib | anyone familiar with mod_rewrite proxy | 06:50 |
becker_11 | Rebelstar: it's most likely in a folder like ~/.compiz in your home folder but that's just an assumtion you will need to check with a ls-a first | 06:51 |

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 |
becker_11 | rww: okay guess I'll just leave it running then | 07:01 |

mawst | mount-ntfs-3g or whatever eats up to 12% cpu | 07:05 |
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 |
FloodBot2 | dj_segfault1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:06 |
dj_segfault1 | Oops sorry about the flood. Didn't see the linefeeds | 07:07 |
dj_segfault1 | Ouch. Am I back on? rastasean can you see this? | 07:07 |

flsie56 | hello | 07:09 |
dj_segfault1 | rastasean: (I've been a bad boy!) Oh so you want to access a Windows machine. I guess you could still do it if you ran something like cygwin, but it's probably not your best option. | 07:09 |
rastasean | dj, yeah, i found this cygwin but enableing ssh/telnet on windows seems like a pain | 07:10 |
sensae | All my music has cover art embedded in the id3 tag. Is there a way for me to set up exaile or rhythmbox to automatically load this art? | 07:10 |

dj_segfault1 | sensae: I know banshee does that really well. Not sure about rhythmbox. | 07:11 |

mawst | This is a little out there, but has anyone used ntfs-resize to shrink an ntfs partition, make an ext4 partition in the remaining space, and slowly move the files from the ntfs to the ext4 and repeating the process to in effect convert to ext4? :D | 07:12 |
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 |
mawst | Can ext4 be resized without data loss? | 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 |
mattgyver | rastasean, what version of windows is it? | 07:14 |
rastasean | xp home | 07:14 |
dj_segfault1 | mawst: What release of Ubuntu? Even 9.04 had dodgy ext4 support | 07:14 |
mattgyver | rastasean, its not enabled by design.. ahem.. it can be done though. | 07:14 |

rastasean | right-click my computer > remote desktop. check mark is checked | 07:15 |
mattgyver | rastasean, fireup tsclient and then use the RDP protocol to connect, might require a forward in your router to point to that machine, i think its 3389 | 07:16 |
cyberbluntz | OK so I still cant get a dvd player to work, I tried all the steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting including the chmod 660, which gave me an error: tek@tek:~$ sudo chmod 660 /dev/sr0; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0 | 07:16 |
cyberbluntz | chgrp: changing group of `/dev/sr0': Operation not permitted | 07:16 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: Did you run chgrp as you, or using sudo, or as root? You probably can't do it with just your login. | 07:16 |
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 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: Nope. That command will use sudo for the chmod, but not the chgrp. Put sudo before chgrp too | 07:18 |
dj_segfault1 | rastasean: Yes. | 07:18 |

paddymelon | hey, is it possible to convert my Java program (.jar) to a binary (.bin)? | 07:19 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: If you put quotes around the two commands I think sudo would have handled them both | 07:19 |
dj_segfault1 | paddymelon: I think there are commercial programs to do that, but what exactly are you hoping to accomplish? | 07:19 |

hungnv | is there available driver for Xerox document center 286 on ubuntu 9.04? please give me solution | 07:20 |
paddymelon | dj_segfault1, I have a shell that doesn't support Java but, does support .bin, since I'm a Java programmer, thought converting to a bin would be good? | 07:20 |
hungnv | thankl | 07:20 |
dj_segfault1 | paddymelon: what most people do is make a one-line shell script that calls it. Or use Java Web Start. | 07:21 |
cyberbluntz | sudo "chmod 660 /dev/sr0"; "chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0" | 07:22 |
cyberbluntz | ? | 07:22 |
dj_segfault1 | paddymelon: What you you mean by a .bin | 07:22 |
paddymelon | dj_segfault1, but Java is not installed, this is a server | 07:22 |
cyberbluntz | kind of like xhtml | 07:22 |
paddymelon | dj_segfault1 a binary file, eg. that in /usr/bin | 07:22 |
dj_segfault1 | paddymelon: That will never work. You have to install java. | 07:22 |
paddymelon | dj_segfault1, OK | 07:22 |
cyberbluntz | nah, doesnt work | 07:22 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: sudo "chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0" | 07:23 |
dj_segfault1 | paddymelon: You can install it anywhere, including your home directory if you don't have root, but at least the runtime (JRE) has to be on there. | 07:23 |
cyberbluntz | sudo: chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0: command not found | 07:24 |
dj_segfault1 | What program do you you to produce web-based apache stats (visitors, popular pages, etc)? I've tried for about two hours to get awstats working | 07:24 |
cyberbluntz | nvm | 07:25 |
s7 | hello, can someone help with this: fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. | 07:25 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: Ah, right. You'll have to sudo: chmod 660 /dev/sr0 ; sudo chgrp cdrom /dev/sr0 | 07:25 |
cyberbluntz | chmod: changing permissions of `/dev/sr0': Operation not permitted | 07:26 |
cyberbluntz | is the some variable i need to change in the command? | 07:26 |
darolu | cyberbluntz: the dev list is filled everytime you boot, it is futile to change permissions that way; you should edit your fstab file | 07:27 |

paddymelon | dj_sefault1, Just got told by admins that, uses too many resources... | 07:27 |
dj_segfault1 | cyberbluntz: Ferreal? You put in the sudo twice like that and it didn't work? Maybe because it's a device special file instead of a real file you can't do that. | 07:27 |
cyberbluntz | plz refer to this page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Troubleshooting | 07:27 |
paddymelon | so, a .bin would be nice | 07:27 |

federman | anyone know why the install disk for 9.10 would cause a gpu crash or how to get around it? | 07:29 |
Pizik | Boots32M: I don't know why you would need Dolphin to mount a USB disk | 07:29 |
Boots32M | <<<<noob | 07:29 |
indus | federman, which gpu are you using | 07:30 |
Boots32M | I don't know either:) | 07:30 |
dj_segfault1 | vizru: did someone help you yet? | 07:30 |
indus | sensae, rhythmbox also does, and so does banshee yes | 07:30 |
Boots32M | thats what it said in forums, I just want my usb to mount | 07:30 |
Pizik | Boots32M: I am also pretty much a noob, but stick your USB drive in, open a terminal and type lsusb and see if you see it listed | 07:30 |
federman | well i assume that's what it is. i get a horizontal bar that looks liek noise after selecting any option from the install cd | 07:30 |
vizru | dj_segfault1: no, I'm wondering if I can put my windows partition in an extended partition without breaking it | 07:30 |
federman | and ive tried several cds, so it isnt the particular disk | 07:30 |
indus | Boots32M, a usb hard disk? unplug it, then plug it in again and in a terminal type dmesg | tail | 07:31 |
dj_segfault1 | Boots32M: Unplug it, and in a terminal type "tail -f /var/log/messages". Then plug it in and pastebin what's in that terminal. | 07:31 |
vizru | dj_segfault1: will it still boot, normally? | 07:31 |
Boots32M | Pizik, Did that and it didn't register as there. then I turned udev on and off and that didnt' work | 07:31 |
Pizik | Boots32M: then do as indus said ;o) | 07:31 |

dj_segfault1 | vizru: I'm pretty sure anything but boot can be in an extended partition these days. That not used to ne the case, so if this is an older machine or distro, be careful. | 07:32 |
indus | bullgard, well, remove it from the /etc/default/grub file | 07:32 |

Pizik | dj_segfault1: asking me or telling me? ;o) | 07:33 |
dj_segfault1 | vizru: Boot, not root. Not necessarily the same thing. but probably the same thing in your case. | 07:34 |
vizru | dj_segfault1: if it doesn't have the boot flag, can it still be boot? Sorry for so many questions | 07:34 |
pangolin_rollin | quit nooo help | 07:34 |
dj_segfault1 | Pizik: The description in Synaptic says "pidgin-libnotify is a Pidgin plugin which displays notification bubbles in Pidgin using libnotify and notification-daemon." which sounds like what you want | 07:35 |

indus | cyberbluntz, use vlc to play it or mplayer | 07:35 |
vizru | dj_segfault1: Thank you for the help | 07:35 |
Pizik | dj_segfault1: Maybe I did not explain myself well. In 8.10 I had a menu on the lower bar that had options for setting my status for Pidgin, that is what I want. | 07:35 |
cyberbluntz | Ive tried real player already | 07:36 |
bullgard | indus: Do you mean to remove the two boot parameters only or do you mean to remove the whole line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"? | 07:37 |
mattgyver | Pizik, i thought that was at the top now, where your user name is shown in 9.10 | 07:37 |

zebastian | i have a wireless-G WRT54G2 V1 router | 08:06 |
zebastian | by cisco | 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 | router:) | 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 |
solid_liquid | *rock | 08:26 |
Boots32M | in her | 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 |

tomatoes7__ | sorry, i'll stop being trollish | 08:32 |
titan_ark | is there a way I can append the system date in a txt file via terminal? i would then like to add it in a cronjob | 08:32 |
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 |
titan_ark | solid_liquid, just "date >> <path>" | 08:33 |
titan_ark | solid_liquid, ah okay | 08:33 |
solid_liquid | titan_ark, yeah, but you might want to format it | 08:33 |
titan_ark | solid_liquid, hmm yeah thanks :) i want to append the date to the log file everytime i do a backup via a cronjob | 08:34 |
allen | hey I think I'm doing this wrong but I can't get the msg command to work. is it like so? /msg username message ? | 08:35 |
natethegreat1419 | I just click on their name LOL | 08:35 |
allen | what client do you use? | 08:36 |
solid_liquid | titan_ark, there's a command to do just about everything in Linux ;) | 08:36 |

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 |

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 | xfire? | 09:21 |
inja | rgr | 09:21 |

=== david is now known as Guest94909 |
Quan-Time | inja: wine is installed ? it basically enables you to double click ".exe" files and the execute much the same way windows would hdandle it | 09:23 |
Quan-Time | inja: i use wine for utorrent and a ftp program.. plus "steam" and a few other tid bits | 09:23 |
ddavids | pls what does this do | 09:24 |
Guest94909 | Where can i ask help questions? | 09:24 |
ardchoille | right here | 09:24 |
solid_liquid | Quan-Time, you don't like the native torrent software? | 09:25 |
ddavids | pls what does this command do - 'update manager -d'? | 09:25 |
solid_liquid | Quan-Time, and all the native ftp programs? or just haven't found ones you like yet? | 09:25 |
Quan-Time | solid_liquid: nope. i like the simplicity of utorrent,, AND since i already have wine for other stuff, and utorrent is like 250k... | 09:25 |
Guest94909 | WEll my sound was very very choppy after instal then I installed flah and sound is gone. for all programs | 09:25 |
Guest94909 | flash* | 09:25 |
yeiks | solid_liquid be polite | 09:26 |
ardchoille | ddavids: that particular command does nothing | 09:26 |
Quan-Time | solid_liquid: the FTP program i use, im just used to... i used to LOVE filezilla, but since it turns out the devs are douchebags, ive abandoned it and put my money else where | 09:26 |
ardchoille | ddavids: but update-manager -d = Check if upgrading to the latest devel release is possible | 09:26 |
yeiks | I came across bitrock installbuilder i'v never used it before but would like to know how good it is | 09:26 |
solid_liquid | yeiks, what do you mean? | 09:27 |
solid_liquid | lol | 09:27 |
solid_liquid | Quan-Time, I was just commenting about someone using Filezilla in ##linux a little while ago lol | 09:28 |

ddavids | no, im on karmic and i know lucid is still due for april... i guess someone was on my system and type some code that caused the error... | 09:30 |
ddavids | id like to revert back... | 09:31 |
solid_liquid | I think Lucid is a very good name for 10.04 I have to say | 09:31 |
ardchoille | ddavids: what command did you run to get that error? | 09:31 |
Guest94909 | Ok, just useing motherboard, GB MA790X-UD4P for sound issue, its usb | 09:31 |
solid_liquid | they're really doing a good job with it | 09:31 |
ddavids | 'sudo apt-get update' | 09:31 |
Guest94909 | SOrry it keeps changing my name automaticly | 09:32 |
ardchoille | yeah. LTS releases have always been awesome | 09:32 |
solid_liquid | Guest94909, what does lspci show? | 09:32 |
ardchoille | ddavids: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file so I can make sure it's ok? | 09:32 |

solid_liquid | ardchoille, more than that though. They've just really streamlined everything nicely. I'm running it on my laptop, but I run 8.04LTS on my desktop because I love LTS releases period. But it's just really showing a lot of nice polish (Lucid) | 09:33 |
ardchoille | solid_liq: yeah, I can't wait to try it out | 09:33 |
Guest94909 | sorry new to ubuntu. and linix all my background is in pc from termianal? | 09:33 |

Guest94909 | work doing php mysql .net java stuff but all on pc for 15 years now so this is all new | 09:35 |
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 |
solid_liquid | Guest94909, being a programmer, you'll really love the shell... it's awesome :) | 09:37 |
ddavids | ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu.com/386195 | 09:37 |
Guest94909 | and monitor is 42in and it keeps thinking thats its a 7 in | 09:37 |
solid_liquid | Guest94909, you'll want to learn how to get a color prompt string first thing | 09:37 |

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 |

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 |

faileas | hatten_: wires or wireless? | 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 |

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 |
Arma_ | PingFloyd: but hooking it up to a windows domain should be a challenge | 10:04 |
minus007 | How to install Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu 9.04? | 10:04 |
faileas | hatten: i'm an idiot for telling you to pastebin fsck. but ifconfig should show a ip addie that's valid, hopefully. else we'd have to go to strp 2 | 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 |

minus007 | ok | 10:07 |
p1oooop1 | anyone know how to record using pulse? for whatever reason, it isn't working :P | 10:07 |
Arma_ | solid_liquid: I am a part of Ubuntu-lb so I'm working alone on this project, true, but this is one for the team ;) | 10:07 |
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 |
rww | minus007: Firefox 3.6 is not officially supported on Ubuntu 9.04. For an unsupported PPA version, see https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 10:07 |
p1oooop1 | intel ICH-7? | 10:07 |
scruffymogwai | Is FF 3.6 available thru a PPA? | 10:07 |
ardchoille | ddavids: fwiw, you shouldn't be getting that error unless he messed with your keyrings | 10:07 |
faileas | hatten_: if neither are up, we will need to find it from lshw | 10:07 |
minus007 | Thanks rww | 10:07 |
scruffymogwai | nevermind | 10:07 |
djoef | faileas, Arma_, should I do this starting from a live CD and run the full test ? (secondary question, will this be able to "repair" my disk (or at least avoid further errors by ignoring those blocks)) | 10:08 |
brt_ | Hi everyone! My drive sda is divided into 3 partitions: boot, swap, and data. I corrupted files on the boot partition. Can I fix it without affecting the data partition? | 10:08 |
hatten_ | faileas: neither are up | 10:08 |
solid_liquid | Arma_, it would be great to see Ubuntu have a large installbase at a University | 10:08 |
faileas | djoef: yes | 10:08 |
faileas | hatten_: what do you have? | 10:08 |
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 |
hatten_ | faileas: aha, lo | 10:09 |
hatten_ | faileas: only | 10:09 |
p1oooop1 | solid_liquid: hundreds more people in here asking for help :D | 10:09 |
djoef | faileas, Arma_ , thanks ! | 10:09 |
rww | mjrosenb: yes. That package was only published for hardy; I'm looking to see where that functionality is now located. | 10:09 |
ddavids | but isnt it possible to revert such, to an earlier time? just thinking... | 10:09 |
faileas | hatten_: ahh. ok. TIME FOR STAGE TWO! STRIKE! | 10:09 |
p1oooop1 | (kidding) | 10:09 |
solid_liquid | p1oooop, heh | 10:09 |
faileas | hatten_: sudo lshw | less | 10:10 |
hatten_ | faileas: fight! | 10:10 |
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 |
p1oooop1 | hold on, imma go get p1oooop | 10:11 |
hatten_ | faileas: faileas found it, *-network DISABLED | 10:11 |
ikonia | p1oooop1: please stop | 10:11 |
faileas | hatten_: is there a eth something there? | 10:11 |
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 |
hatten_ | faileas: nano? bah, vim all the way | 10:12 |

p1oooop1 | p1oooop ? | 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 |
rww | mjrosenb: I'm looking, but my computer's being slow | 10:16 |
Kamokow | ardchoille: I also just found it and was going to send. I guess thats not a problem now. Gratz. | 10:16 |
zupper | zon.net | 10:17 |
zupper | shit : | 10:17 |
zupper | :D | 10:17 |
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 |

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 | llutz: ah ok ... I see | 10:42 |
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 |

dole | if i'm running the live ubuntu version from a cd, how csan i eject the cd in order to burn something on a blank cd? | 11:06 |
abhi_nav | sudo eject | 11:06 |
rww | AndyGraybeal: Probably a good idea :). Just so you know, though, 8.10 is only supported until this April, so I'd recommend upgrading before then. | 11:06 |

adri_ | I cannot enable basic desktop effects in Ubuntu. It searches for available drivers for a while and then fails. I did install the proprietary FGLRX drivers, but Ubuntu says they are "enabled but not in use" -- I have an ATI mobility radeon 3650. | 11:07 |
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 |
abhi_nav | dole: creat bootable usb from that live cd. boot from that usb and then write cd | 11:08 |
pjmtlg | adri : you tried aticonfig __initial -f ? | 11:08 |
dole | aha, ty guys :) | 11:08 |
pjmtlg | --initial | 11:08 |
zetheroo | llutz: still has not found anything | 11:08 |
rww | The LiveCD contains a program for making LiveUSBs, and you can make a LiveUSB from the currently-running CD I believe, so that's nice and easy. | 11:08 |

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 |

A program can have several dependencies. And when I compile from souce, configure.sh halts at each dependency. Why doesn't the dependent library get installed automatically? | 11:56 |
meco | ubuntu: Can you click the Firefox icon? | 11:56 |
Guest27404 | and then? | 11:56 |
myrtti | minus007: how would it know what dependencies it's lacking, if you're compiling from source? | 11:56 |
myrtti | Guest27404: search for it, install | 11:56 |
minus007 | It shows the dependent library | 11:56 |
minus007 | And I have to download the source and install that library | 11:57 |
Guest27404 | the system are refreshing the screen with an update | 11:57 |

indus | dheeraj, in ubuntu? no i have a router with hardwrae firewall isnt that enough | 12:25 |
indus | dheeraj, i mean the isp one | 12:25 |
dheeraj | indus,in ubuntu..any software firewall installed? | 12:25 |
dheeraj | indus,i guess u use windows....am i right? | 12:26 |
Draggin | Good afternoon... Can anyone point me in the right direction... How do I install certain applications only for certain users on a multi-user Ubuntu system? | 12:27 |
becker_11 | I have a ubuntu karmic with everything gnome uninstalled and xfce desktop added is there a way to install gnome without getting every app thats included?? | 12:28 |
indus | dheeraj, no i use ubuntu | 12:28 |
indus | thats why iam here | 12:28 |
iceroot | becker_11: sudo apt-get install gnome | 12:29 |
iceroot | becker_11: instead of ubuntu-desktop | 12:29 |
becker_11 | iceroot: thankyou | 12:29 |
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 |
rww | DaemonFC: deny is the ufw default now, so it's even easier than that :) | 12:40 |
=== ae86-drifter1 is now known as ae86-drifter |
indus | becker_11, could you tell me a little what means to get http traffic | 12:41 |
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 |
DaemonFC | virus scanners do that to Windows users in a comedy of errors :) | 12:41 |
vasan | iflema: 160 GB harddrive one year old | 12:41 |
iceroot | DaemonFC: but there is no reason for a firewall | 12:42 |
iceroot | DaemonFC: unless you want some routing | 12:42 |
indus | well,in my router my firewall is enabled. what is that for? | 12:42 |
adri_ | I cannot use alt to type additional characters on Ubuntu 9.10. I checked xev and I don't get a KeyPress/KeyRelease event when I press any of the alt keys, only a KeyMapNotify. | 12:42 |
iceroot | indus: its getting offtopic | 12:42 |
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 |
DaemonFC | That's kind of how I view it | 12:43 |
Zus | is anyone having issue with volume in firefox on youtube? dont hear anything...(my rythmbox and system does fine) | 12:43 |

abhi_nav_ | !xfce | 12:43 |
ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 12:43 |
vasan | I got grub 5 error... how to solve this??? | 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 |
Stargaze | folx my gpg --clearsign won't work | 12:47 |
Stargaze | hints & tips pls? :) | 12:47 |
archboxman | iceroot: that was not nice give him a break :) | 12:47 |
iceroot | indus: you dont need a firewall on a linux-desktop-pc maybe you need a firewall if you are using vpn at home to your company and want protect others from the lan to go through the vpn tunnel | 12:47 |
morena | Olaa | 12:47 |
indus | anyways, i dont have any more questions, ill google it | 12:47 |
morena | alguieen k able español? | 12:47 |
rww | ubottu: es | morena | 12:47 |
ubottu | morena: 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. | 12:47 |
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) | 12:47 |
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 s |
