| trism | jepster: ahh, it appears vim doesn't actually look in /etc/vim, it looks in $VIM for $VIM/vimrc, which here is a symbolic link to /etc/vim/vimrc, you should go into vim and do :echo $VIM to find out where that is and check there (here it is /usr/share/vim) | 00:00 |

| JediMaster_ | ok, got a weird one, webserver running 9.10, LAMP, was working perfectly until an hour ago and then the sites just die. Nothing that appears relevant in log files, load is 0.00, 99.5% idle cpu, 0% CPU I/O wait, can log in to ssh and it's responsive, can log in via ssh to mysql no problem, but none of the sites respond, apache is running and the log files show hits coming in but VERY slowly (1 hit per 3-4 seconds, rather than the usual | 00:06 |

| hystreni | iu guess im retarded... is the command to start a program with wine "wine runes of magic.exe"? | 00:10 |
| Pici | hystreni: wine "runes of magic.exe" | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: if it has spaces you will need to escape them | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: or use "s like Pici says | 00:10 |
| hystreni | Pici, ah | 00:10 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: wine runes\ of\ magic.exe | 00:10 |
| icylicious | ActionParsnip: no idea how to do that, i'm completly new to ubuntu :p | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: remember that linux is case sensitive and then you will need to have the terminal in the same directory as the exe | 00:11 |
| unop | icylicious, tab can complete the filename correctly for you. wine rune<TAB> | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | icylicious: linux needs either method to handle the spaces | 00:11 |
| tehbaut | how can I get a list of all users and groups in the system? | 00:12 |
| dinosaurvskitten | I have a pdf with incredibly terrible, grainy fonts, yet when I select text in evince, I can see decent fonts (example: http://imagebin.org/88261). Is there a way to make evince simply render the whole thing in decent fonts instead of having to manually select the text? (or is there maybe a better pdf reader out there?) | 00:12 |
| Pici | tehbaut: cat /etc/passwd and cat /etc/group | 00:12 |
| icylicious | can't i just change the format of my HDD to NTFS for example without formating it? | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | dinosaurvskitten: you could install the adobe reader | 00:12 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, : wine "Runes\of\Magic.exe" ? | 00:12 |
| Pici | icylicious: No.. thats the defintion of formatting it. | 00:12 |
| unop | tehbaut, awk -F: '{print $1}' /etc/{passwd,group} | 00:13 |
| icylicious | hm :( | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: you still need the spaces, use tabs like unop sas and it will handle them for you | 00:13 |

| dinosaurvskitten | ActionParsnip, I'll give it a shot, thanks. Now to wait for the 65M installer to download... | 00:13 |
| icylicious | ow okay | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | icylicious: to change the format you will need to format, copy the data off, format then put the data back on | 00:13 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, erhmm.. what? | 00:14 |
| icylicious | ActionParsnip: but i'm not able to see all datas (unknown or not used system), so i can't save them but i need to save them before i format it. | 00:14 |
| hystreni | if the exe file is named Runes of Magic.exe in a folder... what should i write? | 00:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | hystreni, try using: wine Rune<PRESS TAB KEY> | 00:15 |
| unop | !tab | hystreni | 00:15 |
| ubottu | hystreni: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:15 |
| hystreni | ZykoticK9, nothing happens.... | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: the tab key can be used to autocomplete file names for you | 00:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | hystreni, are you in the directory with the Rune.exe file? | 00:15 |
| anto9us | /filter add irc_smart * irc_smart_filter * | 00:15 |
| hystreni | ZykoticK9, AH! | 00:16 |
| hystreni | ZykoticK9, maybe that would help | 00:16 |
| JediMaster | Edgan, thanks, the first produces 329 lines (With apache2 instead of http), 355 for the second | 00:16 |
| ActionParsnip | icylicious: you should have a backup if your data is important, you can format then restore to the partition | 00:16 |
| meowbuntu | hi i'm looking for a good audo cd extractor for ubuntu. any ideas | 00:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | meowbuntu, abcde is an excellent command line cd ripper (used to use Grip for GUI but that's unmaintained and not recommended anymore) | 00:17 |
| JediMaster | Edgan, it's wierd it's like it's hitting maxclients but normally if that happens the load is through the roof, and it's 0.00 | 00:18 |
| dinosaurvskitten | ActionParsnip, acroread still renders with the seemingly-rasterized-scanned fonts | 00:18 |
| icylicious | ActionParsnip: ye my fault, but i didn't do any backup before. i was running win vista before and had all accesses, then i installed ubuntu and also was able to see my HDD, but after another windows installer i'm not able to open my HDD at windows and/or ubuntu. isn't there any software or possibility to save my datas? | 00:18 |
| hystreni | ZykoticK9, hmm i write "cd /home/hystreni/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/" it dont find the directory but it finds "cd /home/hystreni/.wine/dosdevices/c:/" | 00:19 |
| icylicious | (windows doesn't see the HDD too) | 00:19 |
| Pici | hystreni: it should be: /home/hystreni/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ | 00:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | hystreni, you should try to use the TAB key -- /Program Files would become /Program\ Files | 00:19 |

| boondoklife | ownlife_: btw ushare and samba are applications that you install in ubuntu and other nix distros | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | ownlife_: if ps3 can access windows file sares then it will work | 00:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: sweet deal | 00:55 |
| Ritlee | ownlife, i think evolution will connect to exchange | 00:56 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: Just make sure you know what protocols the devices can access. upnp and windows shares are different. | 00:56 |
| odie5533 | how do I set my cdrom to always mount to /media/cdrom0 instead of /media/name_of_cdrom | 00:56 |
| ActionParsnip | odie5533: it should mount as /media/cdrom0 due to /etc/fstab defining it | 00:57 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: but samba will get you going in the right direction with windows shares. Just right click the folder you want to share and check out the sharing options section. | 00:57 |
| meowbuntu | does ubuntu have Microsoft Exchange Support | 00:57 |
| odie5533 | ActionParsnip: it's not listed in fstab | 00:57 |
| destroth | lol | 00:57 |
| ActionParsnip | meowbuntu: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/10/24/use-evolution-with-microsoft-exchange-ubuntu-606-610/ | 00:57 |
| Ljorring | is there a painless way to upgr to 9.10 from 8.10? | 00:57 |
| Ljorring | ubuntu* | 00:57 |
| Gaming4JC | wow... at least the encoding is insaneeelyy fast on a core i7... just that laggieness during record. | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | odie5533: you should have a line like: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 | 00:58 |
| ActionParsnip | odie5533: if not, add it | 00:58 |
| hyperstream | Pici, if ive just added the MS PPTP package, how would i go about making it appear in the 'Add' options for VPN ? (ive tried restarting network-manager | 00:58 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Then I don't need to install Ubuntu server or like, just run these apps as needed. | 00:58 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, apt-get says the updates are gonna take about 20minutes. do i need to follow up with any other commands afterwards ? | 00:59 |
| talkhouli | guys, I need help with this error: dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134. | 00:59 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: you dont have to use ubuntu server, you can do what you want just fine with the desktop edition. | 00:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: look at what its installing, you will see the python version | 00:59 |
| hyperstream | Pici, i think im better off trying a reboot, talk soon | 00:59 |
| jrib | talkhouli: you need to give more context | 00:59 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: I love linux. Thanks good sir | 00:59 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, alrighty-then right now its doing system updates too. gimp etc, etc etc | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: do you use gimp? | 01:00 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: yes sir, I love it myself. Everything in my house is running some nix variant. | 01:00 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, not daily but yes i do | 01:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: ok cool, keep it. if you remove unneeded apps you will reduce the downloads for updates | 01:01 |
| talkhouli | jrib, I was trying to install a package using apt-get but the installation failed and asked me to issue: dpkg --configure -a. I tried it and got : dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 134. | 01:01 |
| ownlife_ | I'll be back to bother you some more when this doesn't work right away ;D | 01:01 |
| jrib | talkhouli: pastebin the command you ran and the full output | 01:01 |
| talkhouli | !paste | 01:01 |

| ownlife_ | boondoklife: | 01:01 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: really it should, but just check out the forums. There are numerous guides there to help ya with samba | 01:02 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Bah, here is the last bit. Is there a repo or deb for ushare? | 01:02 |
| Pici | !info ushare | ownlife_ | 01:03 |
| ubottu | ownlife_: ushare (source: ushare): lightweight UPnP A/V Media Server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1a-0ubuntu4 (karmic), package size 52 kB, installed size 236 kB | 01:03 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: I practically live in the forums | 01:03 |
| ownlife_ | Amazing | 01:03 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: they are a great source | 01:03 |
| talkhouli | jrib, here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/392161/ | 01:03 |
| odie5533 | ActionParsnip: adding the line to fstab fixed it. Thanks! | 01:04 |
| diogo_sm | hi | 01:05 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: I should be able to download this from repo, ya? | 01:05 |
| ActionParsnip | odie5533: suprised you not got it man, glad you got the gold | 01:05 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: yup | 01:05 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Getting the package is not found error, but it might be because I've trashed this install tinkering with everything there is to offer :D | 01:06 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: are you running 9.10? | 01:07 |
| RyR88 | how does one install a new login screen for 9.10? | 01:07 |
| Ritlee | is there a copy command or option that will show the progress... ie 45% done? | 01:07 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Karmic! | 01:07 |
| Pici | ownlife_: ushare 1.1a-0ubuntu4 is in karmic | 01:07 |
| coz_ | ownlife, tinkering with everything offered on ubuntu should not trash a system..otherwise there are major bugs :) | 01:08 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: hmm that is odd it says it should be there. | 01:08 |
| Pici | ownlife_: make sure that you have the universe repository enabled. | 01:08 |
| RyR88 | I found a tar.gz of a login screen I'd like to use but I don't know how to install it, anyone know how? | 01:08 |
| coz_ | ooo he left! hope that was part of the trashing of the system? | 01:09 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: you might try it via commandline "sudo apt-get install ushare" | 01:09 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: That's how I do it | 01:09 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, i ran the update and it installed py 2.6. i'm trying to install this prgram called epidermis. its a ubuntu deb package. but it says it still has a python dependency | 01:09 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Everything is being weird, I can't even connect using xchat. I'm in irssi | 01:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: try: sudo apt-get -f install | 01:10 |
| coz_ | ownlife_, what were you doing just before the system became weird? | 01:10 |
| nixjr | i have a problem with transfering to/from usb. the longer the transfer goes on for, the slower it gets, right down to <1mb/s, also my cpu usage jumps to 100% | 01:10 |
| coz_ | nixjr, which media are you using in usb? | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: try adding an epidermis ppa instead | 01:11 |
| maxjezy | nixjr, got the same problem here | 01:11 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: Things started getting weird I think when I started poking around with emerald and installing themes. I can't exec programs from the terminal without them being dependent on the terminal I used | 01:11 |
| boondoklife | ownlife_: that is very odd, lemme reboot and grap my lappy that has karmic on it. brb | 01:11 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, and how would i go about doing that ? | 01:11 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, i'm at the cli now | 01:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Baba_B00ie: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 01:12 |
| nixjr | coz_, happens with both my corsiar usb stick, and a westerndigital external drive | 01:12 |
| jrib | talkhouli: next question is, do you have no idea why? No new/unofficial repositories? No manually installed debs? | 01:12 |
| Gaming4JC | Hmm is there a way to launch individual programs in their own cpu thread on ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| Gaming4JC | i.e. manually set affinity so I can give one program full power | 01:12 |
| nixjr | maxjezy, i dont suppose youve managed to solve it? | 01:12 |
| coz_ | nixjr, how large of file transfers are we talking about here...not that that should make a difference but may be able to test it here | 01:13 |
| talkhouli | jrib, I remember installing gstreamer manually. | 01:13 |
| maxjezy | nixjr, no i don't | 01:13 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, thank you yet again. i'm following directions now | 01:13 |
| ownlife_ | boondoklife: My wireless connection started going quirky too, the quick launch icon is gone and it sporatically makes me punch in my connection keyring thing. Sometimes can't connect after - have to restart | 01:13 |
| nixjr | coz_, transfers of a couple hundred mb usualy complete within a few sec, but anyhting bigger and the slowdowns get noticable | 01:13 |
| === diogo_sm is now known as diogo_sm_ | ||
| coz_ | nixjr, mmm let me see if I have something here that large to test with ...give me 5 | 01:14 |
| maxjezy | coz_, when i transfer files 500mb + the first 100mb go in a sec, rest go in a few minutes | 01:14 |
| maxjezy | 1-2-3 minuters | 01:14 |
| nixjr | coz_, if instead of transfering many files totaling say 10gb, i break it into 10x1gb parts, it will complete a lot faster | 01:15 |
| Baba_B00ie | ActionParsnip, if i get an error "deb" not found. what apt package would have that | 01:15 |
| === cece is now known as qqqqqq | ||
| nixjr | coz_, when transfering very large ammounts, the cpu can stay at high usage for several mins after the xfer is complete | 01:15 |
| coz_ | nixjr, mm ok let me transfer a few movies onto ubuntu then off again | 01:16 |
| rexha | i just installed xubuntu-alternate-cd but after i installed it is just in console ??? | 01:16 |
| === ownlife_ is now known as ownlife_bio_brbp | ||
| maxjezy | coz_, nixjr, if you find solution, plz highlight or PM me the solution, i'm away for some nudles | 01:17 |
| Baba_B00ie | what apt package would i need if a program requires the deb command | 01:17 |
| coz_ | maxjezy, well let me see if I get any lagging first | 01:17 |
| nixjr | maxjezy, ill write down your name so i dont forget | 01:17 |
| maxjezy | brb! | 01:18 |
| rexha | i just installed xubuntu-alternate-cd but after i installed it is just in console ??? | 01:18 |
| coz_ | nixjr, ok I am transferring 4 gigs of video files onto ubuntu from usb external drive | 01:18 |
| larsbars | can somebody tell me how to make the empathy contact list appear without going to the applications menu? | 01:18 |
| coz_ | nixjr, I see no slowing down at all so far | 01:18 |
| rexha | i just installed xubuntu-alternate-cd but after i installed it is just in console ??? | 01:19 |
| nixjr | coz_, usualy the slowdowns are fast at first, then get less, so it never reaches 0 | 01:19 |
| rexha | please help me | 01:19 |
| coz_ | rexha, not sure unless you accidentally burned the server c... in the cli sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 01:19 |
| myownserver | Does anyone here know of a good tool to use to simply track/log server bandwidth traffic? | 01:20 |
| jastor | myownserver: vnstat | 01:20 |
| imperfect- | Anyone know why the heck my sound randomly doesn't work? | 01:20 |
| coz_ | nixjr, ok no slowing down at all and cpu dropped back to normal when finished | 01:20 |
| imperfect- | Startup sounds play but r-box won't play songs | 01:20 |
| imperfect- | it's annoying | 01:20 |
| rexha | coz_ im sure that I installed xubuntu alternate i386 | 01:20 |
| myownserver | jastor, Thanks, How do I keep track of it, such as the sum? | 01:20 |
| coz_ | rexha, ok I believe you did.... however. did the command sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart spit anything out | 01:21 |
| koleppa | Good evening/morning/day everyone. I need help. I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my iMac. All goes okay until it tries to partition the HD and then it freezes at 33%. Any ideas? | 01:21 |
| nixjr | coz_, my cpu gets so high that i cant even scroll in the file browser without it freezing, top ofter shows loads of 10+ | 01:21 |
| koleppa | Please. | 01:21 |
| jastor | myownserver: vnstat -days / -months / -weeks etc | 01:21 |
| coz_ | nixjr, then something must be up on that end.... not sure what tinkering you may have done :) | 01:22 |
| myownserver | jastor, Thank you very much! | 01:22 |
| jastor | myownserver: well just the first letter :) | 01:22 |
| nixjr | coz_, assuming the bottleneck with my external drive is the usb interface, what sort of speed "should" i be seeing? i know what im getting is far from normal, but im not entrierly sure what normal would be | 01:22 |
| koleppa | Is there a way that I can totally wipe the HD clean and prevent the installer from doing this? | 01:22 |
| coz_ | nixjr, well usb has a set speed i believe at about 25 mgs a minute ...something like that .. i dont have specs in front of me... regardless of the hardware you have you cannot exceed the speed of usb limiations | 01:23 |
| nixjr | coz_, the last thing i transfered was ~6gb and was going at about 4mb/s | 01:23 |
| alexlea | koleppa: i have a mac, i can help | 01:23 |
| koleppa | Alexlea, that would be great. | 01:23 |
| coz_ | nixjr, that was suppose to be 25 megs a second i believe | 01:23 |
| jastor | koleppa: thoose 33% .. it wouldnt happen thats the actuall writing the ext4 stuff? | 01:23 |
| coz_ | nixjr, but that is as fast as it gets | 01:24 |
| myownserver | jastor, I gotcha. I was looking at bwm-ng and while it does offer output to file, it doesn't keep an on-going sum of the bandwidth usage, which is more what I"m looking for. | 01:24 |
| === ownlife_bio_brbp is now known as ownlife | ||
| ddelony | koleppa: Me too, though I haven't actually tried to install Ubuntu on it. | 01:24 |
| alexlea | koleppa: pm me, and explan the problem...its so busy in here, taht it's hard to read...pretty much you said somehting about freezing | 01:24 |
| jastor | koleppa: which can take a while depending on disk size | 01:24 |
| coz_ | nixjr, regardless of how fast the drives or cpu are you cant exceed that speed...which isnt the issue for you...the issue is the speed of transfer drops dramatically | 01:24 |
| ddelony | koleppa: Are you sure it's actually freezing? | 01:24 |
| jastor | koleppa: on my 320GB disk .. it stops for a moment at around 25% while it does the ext4 stuff ;) .. but it doesnt freeze | 01:25 |
| jastor | moment .. couple of minutes that is | 01:25 |
| ownlife | boondoklife: I am back sir, if you're still looking into these weird happenings | 01:25 |
| nixjr | coz_, slightly different question, my particualr drive also has an esata connector, which i dont have a cable for, if usb is slow, would esata also be slow? and how well is it supported in ubuntu? | 01:25 |
| ddelony | koleppa: In any case, I think you might damage your hard drive if you turned off or rebooted your computer in the middle of repartitioning. | 01:26 |
| jastor | nixjr: usb != esata .. so esata should be faster | 01:26 |
| tp43__ | I can't seek in ogv video I created using my webcam and cheese | 01:26 |
| tp43__ | Is there a ogv player or converter... | 01:26 |
| AliceMargatroid | “Yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation” yields falsehood when preceded by its quotation. | 01:26 |
| coz_ | nixjr, I believe e-sata is supported | 01:27 |
| jastor | ok .. "faster" can be discussed ... FW400 which is "slower" than usbs 480Mb/s .. is still faster due to it can keep a more steady speed compared ot usb boing up and down all the tiem ;) | 01:27 |
| RyR88 | Has anyone changed a login screen in Ubuntu 9.10? If so, how did you do it? | 01:27 |
| coz_ | nixjr, but as to the speeds of that bus I dont know... generally you can get an e-sata drive with usb connection but then you get usb2 speeds | 01:27 |
| Nooneshere | Hi, i will be quick today. How long should it take to recompress a 36gb tar.7z archieve? Its been going at it for a while? | 01:28 |
| nixjr | coz_, im worried that if i go out and buy an esata cable, that itll have the same slowdown issues | 01:28 |
| coz_ | nixjr, so your e-sata drive should just work | 01:28 |
| jrib | Nooneshere: "a while" sounds about right, a long while | 01:29 |
| coz_ | nixjr, if that's the case then your system is a bit kerploinked | 01:29 |
| coz_ | :) | 01:29 |
| ppaulhus | Hi. I had to remove my nvidia graphics card from my ubuntu 9.10 box and now im just down to my onboard intel graphics. my xconfiguration seems to be wrong now so i get a black screen. What does a config for intel look like usually? | 01:29 |
| coz_ | nixjr, was this a clean install or an upgrade to the current version? | 01:29 |
| Nooneshere | Jrib its been about an hour now. I did a smaller 9 gig eariler, and only took about 10 minutes to recompress. | 01:30 |
| jrib | ppaulhus: just rename/delete your existing /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:30 |
| jrib | Nooneshere: well see how big the file currently is | 01:30 |
| coz_ | ppaulhus, did you try a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserve-xorg ? not sure if that will work | 01:30 |
| rexha | Why when i want to install xubuntu the computer restarts ? | 01:30 |
| coz_ | ppaulhus, sorry dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 01:31 |
| ppaulhus | i'll try the xorg.conf trick first, then dpkg | 01:31 |
| ownlife | boondoklife: I'm still around if you're still investigating | 01:31 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: whats the content anyway? | 01:31 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: you say the .tar.7z is 36gb .. if its text it can be quite alot :P ... last months apache logs 70MB tar.gz took like 1.1GB ;) | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | rexha: what do you mean? | 01:32 |
| jastor | or if it was tar.bz2 .. dont remember .. i think it was 70MB -> 1.1GB anyway | 01:33 |
| hystreni | hello, can u ake a gedit file so it opens as a terminal command?= | 01:33 |
| boondoklife | ownlife: yea i had a problem with lucid but im on my karmic box now | 01:33 |
| jrib | jastor: that's really really really weird | 01:33 |
| Nooneshere | Jrib i cannot find it. It hasn't appeared in home yet. So i assume its in the temp somewhere. Jastor, i wipe my computer every 6 months. So this would be all my high def pictures and text and php etc. | 01:33 |
| frago | hi | 01:33 |
| nixjr | coz_, it was 9.04 upgraded to 9.10 | 01:33 |
| rexha | Typos_King i put my cd and then it boots and loads then i hit enter to the Install Xubuntu after 2 seconds it restarts | 01:33 |
| jastor | jrib: = | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | allo | 01:33 |
| jastor | jrib: ? what is? | 01:33 |
| boondoklife | ownlife: so did you make any headway? it is showing up in the repo's for me and through apt-get | 01:33 |
| frago | can someone hell me i'm using irssi, is xchat the same as this? | 01:34 |
| frago | or is xchat graphical based? | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | rexha: retry, but before hitting, 'enter' to install, press F6 and turn on acpi=off and noapic, then press enter | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | frago I prefer xchat myself | 01:34 |
| ownlife | boondoklife: sudo apt-get install ushare yields a missing package. Come to think of it this isn't the first time I've had an issue with an error like this | 01:34 |
| Nooneshere | frago xchat has a UI. I am using it right now. Its nice. | 01:34 |
| nixjr | frago, xchat is graphical | 01:34 |
| myownserver | How do I create a link to another location in Ubuntu, such as a shortcut? | 01:34 |
| jrib | jastor: your arrow suggested you compressed 70MiB into a 1.1 GiB file :) | 01:35 |
| frago | is there a web interface for irssi? | 01:35 |
| frago | or xchat? | 01:35 |
| |sanchez| | how do i increase amount of workspaces i have? using gnome, with compiz on 9.10 x64 | 01:35 |
| |sanchez| | frago mibbit | 01:35 |
| Typos_King | myownserver: ln -s /path/ACTUALLOCATION mylinkhere | 01:35 |
| |sanchez| | has web IRC | 01:35 |
| Nooneshere | Frago what do you mean web interface? | 01:35 |
| jastor | jrib: ah .. typo of me then ;) | 01:35 |
| rexha | Typos_King: I will try that. Thank you. | 01:35 |
| hystreni | can u make a textfile to a command file?= with writing "cd /home/user/..." | 01:35 |
| myownserver | Typos_King, Thank you sir. | 01:35 |
| jastor | jrib: ok .. wasnt a typo .. meant 70MB tar.gz -> 1.1GB .log ;) | 01:35 |
| jastor | ok .. was just .gz .. not .tar.gz | 01:36 |
| frago | Typos_King: i mean is there a way i can keep irssi running in background, but chat using my browser? | 01:36 |
| jrib | Nooneshere: what do you mean by "recompress"? | 01:36 |
| boondoklife | ownlife: how long ago did this start and was it after you installed a particular package? | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | frago: sure | 01:37 |
| nixjr | |sanchez|, i do it by right clicking the workspaces planel applet, and selecting preferences | 01:37 |
| Nooneshere | Jrib its the stage it is at. At first its adding files, etc then it says "Recompressing archive" | 01:37 |
| frago | |sanchez|: i mean one that keeps state if i close browser | 01:37 |
| frago | and comes from my ip | 01:37 |
| Typos_King | frago: both sessions do not interfere with one another... sooo | 01:37 |
| frago | just a web interface or irssi | 01:37 |
| HotCarrot | exit | 01:37 |
| HotCarrot | oops | 01:38 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 01:38 |
| aouldr78 | hi everyone | 01:38 |
| jrib | Nooneshere: I see, so you had some .7z archive, then you added files to it? | 01:38 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: the compressed file with all teh stuff is going to be around 36GB? | 01:38 |
| rexha | Typos_King: i tried noasci and asci=off but still not working, it reboots | 01:38 |
| aouldr78 | how to play CD with .TRS extension | 01:38 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: since you apparently ahve somewhere to put this 36GB file .. why dont you just ekeep the stuff on that paritition/drive at all time? without having to move / compress files | 01:39 |
| ownlife | boondoklife: I think it was mediatomb, that's when I first noticed it. See if you can't find mediatomb? | 01:39 |
| Typos_King | rexha: check the cd for errors, or reburn the .iso if you have it, seems to be a media error | 01:39 |
| dtcrshr | hello fellas, my webcam works fine in cheese, but im upside down | 01:40 |
| Nooneshere | Jastor that is my intent, but i filled up that parition. Also it is always nice to have a backup. | 01:40 |
| dtcrshr | how do i fix this? | 01:40 |
| talkhouli | jrib, no idea? | 01:40 |
| boondoklife | ownlife: yea i have it in mine... hmm well this is a little beyond me. Maybe you somehow tweaked your sources or something. | 01:40 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: ok :) | 01:40 |
| MadModelRRer | hey all | 01:40 |
| Typos_King | aouldr78: not acquainted myself with .trs cds :{ first time I ever heard of them | 01:40 |
| jrib | talkhouli: add set -x to the .postinst script and rerun the command | 01:40 |

| Nooneshere | Jrib, no i am making a new archive, and its just been stuck there. Hasn't finished just yet. | 01:40 |
| rexha | Typos_King: I have 3 cds and they all worked in other computers | 01:40 |
| aouldr78 | it is good iso image but it is from Rosetta Stone language | 01:40 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: ... not saying that this is any better ... but what about creating a virtual volume and put everything on? (ie: truecrypt .tc container, but there probably are other programs to).. should be slightly faster than compressing | 01:41 |
| MadModelRRer | does anyone have exp converting a .iso file to a .img file in Terminal on a Mac? | 01:41 |
| rexha | Typos_King: I just could install the command-line version | 01:41 |

| sinewine | I forgot how much fun it is | 01:42 |
| jrib | Nooneshere: hmm, I don't use .7z. Mostly .bz2 or .gz. Those seem to work fine with huge files like that and I can check the file's size as it progresses so I know it's still working | 01:42 |
| talkhouli | jrib, where can I find the script? | 01:42 |
| dtcrshr | nixjr, and skype? | 01:42 |
| jrib | talkhouli: /var/lib/dpkg/info/PACKAG_NAME.postinst | 01:42 |
| nixjr | dtcrshr, not sure about that | 01:42 |
| sinewine | what about skype ? | 01:42 |
| Nooneshere | Jastor, i need to move it from partition a to c though. Thats my issue | 01:42 |
| jrib | talkhouli: I think it was the .postinst anyway, check your error | 01:43 |
| Nooneshere | Jrib, i will note that for the last archive i need to do. | 01:43 |
| hystreni | how do i make a "cd /home/" command through a text file | 01:43 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: yes i was more thinking of "later" :) when youre done | 01:43 |
| dtcrshr | nixjr, any other software for webchat with the webcam? | 01:43 |
| nixjr | sinewine, i guess some people find it fun, persoanlly ive been using ubuntu a couple weeks and so far everfything takes me longer to acomplish then it did on windows, frustrating is how id describe it | 01:43 |
| progesterone | Question: I can't open joomla.org on both Firefox and Opera. The page loading is too slow and only HTML file is loaded. The site is ok on Window. How can I diagnose it? | 01:43 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: so you have all the files in one container at Xgb .. which you mount to random directory when you want to access the files in it .. so just one large file .. instead of many small files taking about the same amount of space | 01:44 |
| sinewine | well I have flirted with it many times in the past but i think i will fully migrate now | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | rexha: .. how about trying to use the usb startup disk? boot with the cd on another machine that boots it, and usually, in the Menus there's a section for 'make usb startup disk', which just makes a live-usb bootable for install | 01:44 |
| AliceMargatroid | progesterone, do images work on other sites? | 01:44 |

| Tironn | nixjr: everyone has their issues but with time all will be well | 01:44 |
| talkhouli | jrib, still not working | 01:44 |
| rexha | Typos_King: The USB boot isn't an option for me | 01:44 |
| Nooneshere | Jastor, i use most of these files or view them, would that slow them down at all? | 01:45 |
| jrib | talkhouli: of course, but with set -x you should be getting more info | 01:45 |
| progesterone | nixjr Yeah. I can also open on Window. | 01:45 |
| progesterone | nixjr It's weired. | 01:45 |
| Typos_King | rexha: you mean you're trying to install 9.1 on an 'older' machine? | 01:45 |
| jastor | Nooneshere: its slower than having the files on the real filesystem .. but faster than having to compress/expand | 01:45 |

| jrib | talkhouli: ok, but it seems libc6 is the issue from your error, not empathy. Also you need to add the set -x at the top of the file for it to do anything (right under the shebang) | 01:53 |

| magn3ts_ | jrib, more likely that I clicked it in my task launcher 5 times getting pissed off that it wouldn't open | 01:59 |

| magn3ts_ | jrib, because it won't open, and when I run it from the cmd line nothing happens and I can't CTRL+C | 01:59 |

| jrib | magn3ts_: I'm in the same boat as you, using nvidia-setting to enable an additional display, but I've been meaning to try a command-line program that let's one do so. That might be something worthwhile for you to look at. I forget the name atm though | 02:03 |
| enav | o sorry | 02:03 |
| enav | after i ran it: sudo update-grub2 it thrown an error: grub-probe: error: Cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1. Check your device.map. | 02:03 |
| magn3ts_ | jrib, its uh called ... disper but it doesn't work with MBP's at the moment | 02:03 |
| jrib | magn3ts_: ah, yeah that's it | 02:03 |
| enav | i tryed to update my grub because my Windows partition do not works | 02:04 |
| jrib | magn3ts_: does gksudo affect your ability to start nvidia-settings? | 02:04 |
| magn3ts_ | jrib, >_> weird. it works when I run it with gksudo | 02:04 |
| enav | gksudo is to setup nvidia drivers with graphic interface | 02:05 |
| racerd | was there a new update for nvidia drivers? | 02:05 |
| Typos_King | .. h..mmmmm | 02:05 |
| jrib | magn3ts_: see if strace turns up anything interesting when you run it as your user | 02:05 |
| magn3ts_ | jrib, ahahaha its stating a sshfs mounted folder and borking | 02:05 |
| enav | i cheked out those forum but cant find the solution for that drive.map issue | 02:05 |
| Typos_King | enav: how many partitions does it show under -> sudo fdisk -l; | 02:05 |
| SamuelPeterson | Would anyone happen to know what configuration file the boot procedure starts xorg? I would prefer to set my OS to load up to a CLI so I can just type startx in myself or whatever. | 02:06 |

| invisime | so I accidentally toasted /var/lib on my server box. I have a bunch of stuff configured on it that I don't want to lose. I have enough space on my external to copy everything that's not toasted over prior to a reinstall. how should I proceed to minimize pain and effort? it would also help if I could minimize wailing of gnashing of teeth, but at this point I'm flexible. | 02:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kutakizukari, actually it will be "bz<TABKEY><TABKEY>" and see if bzflag is listed | 02:19 |
| symptom | ubuntu232, did you try to install grub and not grub2? | 02:19 |
| jrib | talkhouli: good, run « sudo ldconfig » in a shell, what happens? | 02:19 |
| DasEi | ronnie: got a link of that model ? | 02:19 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, it says Segmentation fault when I type bzflag | 02:19 |
| ubuntu232 | symptom, i am sure its grub | 02:20 |
| ubuntu232 | 2 | 02:20 |
| symptom | ubuntu232, you currently have grub2 and it is not working, correct? | 02:20 |
| ieynr | is there a way to set vncviewer to just lock into a portion of the remote xserver? i'm thinking that might be a suitable way to set up a massive Xvnc process with many machines targeting it, but each a different portion of the viewing area | 02:20 |
| ubuntu232 | correct | 02:20 |
| DavidJHeinrich | hi all, I'm getting the following error when trying to play avi files (or any video files) using the default GNOME player, Totem (but not when I use GNOME mplayer)...what's going on? "The playback of this movie require a AC-3 decoder plugin which is not installed" | 02:20 |
| symptom | ubuntu232, did you atleast TRY grub | 02:20 |
| talkhouli | jrib, it gives "Aborted" only. | 02:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kutakizukari, that's unfortunately NOT a helpful error (just says BIG problem) | 02:20 |
| invisime | DavidJHeinrich: the answer is to install vlc. | 02:20 |
| ^paradox^ | is there a channel on freenode specific to scanning and working with images in ubuntu? | 02:20 |
| jrib | talkhouli: pass --verbose | 02:20 |
| DavidJHeinrich | invisime: what's vlc? | 02:20 |
| ieynr | videolan.org is for vlc | 02:21 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, bzflag is listed | 02:21 |
| invisime | DavidJHeinrich: it's a better media player than totem. because it will play damn near anything. | 02:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kutakizukari, i thought went you typed bzflag it said SegFault? | 02:21 |
| DasEi | DavidJHeinrich: video lan client, see : | 02:21 |

| DasEi | ronnie: second, looking up | 02:21 |
| talkhouli | jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/392193/ | 02:21 |

| simpietro | 02:22 | |
| invisime | DavidJHeinrich: sure you can. | 02:22 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, only when I type bz then hit the tab key it is listed after that when I type bzflag it says SegFault. | 02:22 |
| invisime | anyone want to advise me on how best to proceed with rescuing the system on which I accidentally deleted /var/lib ? | 02:23 |
| jrib | talkhouli: you should google with me now on why ldconfig returns Aborted as I don't know offhand | 02:23 |
| invisime | I was thinking just copy the whole file system over to an external, reinstall the OS, and copy back all the bits I have. | 02:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kutakizukari, ok that's what i thought you meant -- segfault is a "big" problem, but doesn't give any hint as to what is wrong - sorry i can't help with that | 02:23 |
| invisime | would that have last detrimental effects? | 02:23 |
| DavidJHeinrich | invisime: ok, when I right click on an .avi file, I see "Dragon Player, GNOME Mplayer, Mplayer Movie Player, VLC Player" | 02:23 |
| daleharvey | having problems installing nginx on a clean install of ubuntu | 02:23 |

| progesterone | Question: What does sda mean in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 ? | 02:24 |
| daleharvey | summary is that I get E: Package nginx has no installation candidate , common problem? | 02:24 |

| ronnie | Yes I believe so | 02:24 |
| rastasean | I just had to re-image my ubuntu computer and now my monitor does not properly display on the entire screen even though the resolution is correct. | 02:25 |

| rastasean | monitor is hanns*g 23" LCD | 02:25 |
| DavidJHeinrich | invisime: so if I search for totem under installed packages, I can safely remove all packages with totem in them (totem, totem-plugins, totem-common, totem-mozilla, libtotem-plparser12, totem-gstreamer)? | 02:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, sda - the a means DRIVE the numbers after are the partitions | 02:25 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288159 but when I try to download it 404 error. | 02:25 |
| Kutakizukari | w | 02:25 |
| invisime | DavidJHeinrich: those all look totem-related, yes. | 02:25 |
| rastasean | i installed the drivers for monitor but still nothing. second monitor has no issues | 02:26 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, what is the package and where can I get it? | 02:26 |
| DavidJHeinrich | invisime: shoot, if I selected remove all, for one of those packages, removing it will also require removing Brasario (the GNOME default CD/DVD burning program) | 02:26 |
| DasEi | ronnie: if you launch alsamixergui, is your sound-chip shown ? | 02:26 |
| progesterone | DasEi ZykoticK9 Why do they use 'sd' in stead of 'hdd' or something for harddisk? What does 'sda' stand for? | 02:26 |
| invisime | DavidJHeinrich: try just removing totem itself. | 02:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | Kutakizukari, that's from 2006 - kinda old post. I have no idea man. Good luck | 02:26 |
| ronnie | nope | 02:26 |
| ronnie | not installed | 02:27 |
| rastasean | rastasean, i resolved my own issue! | 02:27 |
| DavidJHeinrich | invisime: ok, it looks like libtotem-plparser12 is what brasario needs...strange | 02:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, sd is scsi -- hd is ide (and most ide is scsi emulation now) | 02:27 |
| Kutakizukari | ZykoticK9, thank you for the help. | 02:27 |
| DasEi | progesterone: these are just identifiers, hd (0,0) is same then sda1 | 02:27 |

| talkhouli | jrib, ok, thanks a lot of the help. I will deal with this later, I have to go now. Thanks again. | 02:28 |
| jrib | talkhouli: found some tweet that said fsck fixed it. Have you done a hard shutdown recently? | 02:28 |
| jrib | talkhouli: ok, good luck | 02:28 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui | 02:28 |
| sine | I have some archived rars.... whats the easiest option for opening them | 02:29 |
| DasEi | ronnie: alsamixergui | 02:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine, why would Ubuntu come default with a proprietary compression format? "sudo apt-get install unrar" | 02:29 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 DasEi Thanks | 02:29 |
| talkhouli | jrib, no hard shutdowns | 02:29 |
| ronnie | DasEi I think the problem is bigger than that - | 02:29 |

| talkhouli | jrib, I will see if it works. Thanks. | 02:30 |
| cboyer1951 | i've read plenty of documentation and it's either too generic, doesn't address my question, or it's jumping into scripting and programming, so beyond me, laughs.. .newbie here | 02:31 |
| DasEi | ronnie: if you like to dig yourself : | 02:31 |
| DasEi | !sound | 02:31 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 02:31 |

| DasEi | Radar: you won't thats windows | 02:33 |
| Radar | DasEi: Yeah, but I'm looking for an ubuntu way of doing it. | 02:33 |
| Radar | Basically I have a VM that I want to use automated testing to test against. | 02:33 |
| ^paradox^ | if no one in here can help me with xsane can you at least point me to channel on freenode where i could possibly get help with scanning text documents and settings? | 02:33 |
| DasEi | ronnie: so chip isn't detected, try to compile latest als then.. | 02:33 |
| cboyer1951 | 1. how do i tell if my ubuntu unetlogin loader thing installed ubuntu on my 2nd hard drive, or if it's just a virtual install, then how can i make it a solid physical install, so that when i make changes, they stick ? | 02:34 |
| ronnie | DasEi How? | 02:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | Radar, what virtualization software are you using? VirtualBox has a "snapshot" feature, similar to restore points i believe. | 02:34 |
| git__ | ZykoticK9, i use kvm | 02:35 |
| DasEi | ronnie: cd /usr/src | 02:35 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 02:35 |
| Radar | ZykoticK9: mmm but I need it to be automated. Using VMWare Fusion and Mac OS X, asking in the ubuntu channel because it's an ubuntu VM. | 02:35 |
| Radar | I could automate it using Automator on OS X I realised. | 02:35 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 02:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | Radar, sorry no Restore Points system built into Ubuntu I'm affraid (or not really), best of luck man. | 02:36 |
| Radar | Thank you :) Bye! | 02:36 |

| DasEi | (coomand, not a link to click) | 02:36 |
| git__ | zkyotick9, your best bet for restore point is using a snapshot filesystem | 02:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | git__, it's Radar that's asking | 02:37 |
| git__ | ohs | 02:37 |
| DasEi | ronnie: down ? | 02:37 |

| blakkheim | ATI: don't buy from ati, enemy of your freedom | 02:41 |
| hunt | Hi, I wonder wether I can install kubuntu from my existing ubuntu partition, I would install it on another partition as standalone os, can I run the installer from the .iso somehow in order to do this? | 02:41 |
| Baba_B00ie | can you upgrade 804 straight to 904 without a clean install? or do you have to install 810 in between them ? | 02:41 |
| cboyer1951 | so, there's an icon on my desktop 'injstall Ubuntu 9.10' should I launch that | 02:41 |
| cboyer1951 | ? | 02:41 |
| ATI | well this laptop was a really good price | 02:41 |
| ATI | intel i5 core | 02:41 |
| blakkheim | ATI: ati has terrible linux support | 02:42 |
| ronnie | DasEi im downloading it again | 02:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | hunt, if you already have ubuntu installed, just "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" then choose which to use at GDM login | 02:42 |
| ATI | yes i kinda know that | 02:42 |
| oxez | blakkheim: That becomes less and less true ;P | 02:42 |
| cboyer1951 | thank you blakhheim | 02:42 |
| ATI | but i was on here this morning | 02:42 |
| DasEi | ronnie:I tried just myself , seems it's broken | 02:42 |
| haru | exit | 02:43 |
| ATI | and everyone told me to use the ubuntu software driver | 02:43 |
| hunt | zykoticK9, yes I know about the possibility, but I dont like that, it feels kind of unclean to me... | 02:43 |
| ATI | i just did that and still nothing | 02:43 |
| DasEi | ronnie : sudo rm alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4* | 02:43 |
| cboyer1951 | ok, question please? i have three partitions where i'm about to install; 30GB, 70GB, 216GB, which should I install the / to... or whatever it asks during install? | 02:43 |
| ronnie | DasEi done | 02:44 |
| DasEi | ronnie sudo wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2 | 02:44 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo tar -xjf alsa* | 02:45 |
| DasEi | ronnie: cd alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 | 02:46 |
| ATI | is there anyone here that can help troublr shoot this issues as to why the driver is not working ? | 02:46 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo ./configure | 02:46 |
| === kkojiban2 is now known as haru | ||
| ardchoille | DasEi: we shouldn't be using sudo to download or ./configure software | 02:48 |
| DasEi | ATI: I don't know for this particular card, but the ati propitarys don't work any more in X since hardy, best approach is currently the open radeon hd driver. there are some things going on, lucid shall improve it | 02:48 |
| [V13]Axel | Friend of mine was using CompizConfig Settings Manager. His laptop went into hibernate, due to a half-dead battery, and when he plugged it up, and brought it back to full working order, he had an odd window decoration border. Anyone know a fix? I've tried a few things already. | 02:49 |
| ronnie | tar: alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2: Not found in archive | 02:49 |
| DasEi | ronnie: in the configure ? | 02:49 |
| chocamo | wpa_supplicant connects but i receive no dhcpoffers. Whats the first thing I should do? | 02:49 |
| ronnie | DasEi no in the first 2 | 02:49 |
| cboyer1951 | anyone able to private chat window me please? i'm trying to install from my 'live' install, and on the partition table, should i choose 'erase and use entire disk?' as it is it shows i already have: /dev/sda1 28.0GB, Ubuntu 9.10 /dev/sda7 65.2 GB, swap /dev/sda5 3.7 GB, /dev/sda6 101.0 GB and Ubuntu 9.10 100.2 GB, I'm confused as to what to do? | 02:50 |
| ardchoille | ronnie: try without sudo, don't use sudo unless absolutelynecessary and it's not necessary for downloading, configuring or compiling | 02:50 |
| ronnie | tar: alsa: Cannot read: Is a directory | 02:50 |
| DasEi | ronnie: you did the wget , and it didn't unpack ? | 02:50 |
| ronnie | DasEi yes | 02:51 |
| blakkheim | !pm | cboyer1951 | 02:51 |
| ubottu | cboyer1951: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 02:51 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: we are in /usr/src | 02:51 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: and that is not a good idea. best to download as user, configure as user, compile as user and then use sudo to make install | 02:52 |
| ardchoille | Probably why things aren't working | 02:52 |
| cboyer1951 | ok, i'm insulted, you used the bot to tell me that you can not private message me... ok, sorry, i didn't know the etiquette here, now I do... how do I ask my question nicely then, without being bothersome to the rest of the channel? | 02:52 |
| DasEi | ronnie: check for typos then, cmd's are case sensitive, you can copy from messenger to terminal | 02:52 |
| Fudge | is ther e a powerpc edition of ubuntu? | 02:52 |
| ronnie | I copy pasted | 02:52 |
| [V13]Axel | Fudge: Yes, check the "Other versions" part of the Ubuntu site. If you'd like, I can give you a direct link to the selection page? | 02:52 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: so software is spread randomly ? | 02:52 |
| Fudge | please | 02:52 |
| faron | alright,I'm lost I've looked at xubuntu doc to figure this out but Ijust can't........I have installed Firefox3.6 to my desaktop but,now I'm at a loss as to what to do now | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: and that is not a good idea. best to download as user, configure as user, compile as user and then use sudo to make install | 02:53 |
| blakkheim | !ppc > Fudge | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Fudge, please see my private message | 02:53 |
| Fudge | thank you | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: software is to be compiled as normal user in a user folder, then installed using sudo. | 02:53 |
| ^paradox^ | ive been in here over a half hour now. im not trying to be pushy. i need help with xsane image scanner. im going to scan text documents. i need help with because xsane is foreign to me | 02:54 |
| zebastian | is there a version of ubuntu with a desktop environment with a ZUI? | 02:54 |
| blakkheim | dare i ask what a ZUI is | 02:54 |
| zebastian | I want to be able to use a ZUI but I love my ubuntu | 02:54 |
| zebastian | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooming_user_interface | 02:54 |
| Fudge | thank you | 02:54 |
| blakkheim | zebastian: would the zoom plugin of compiz work? | 02:55 |
| cboyer1951 | i spent all afternoon in here earlier today, nobody was able to tell me that the live install was only virtual. ok, now I've got that bit of information. Now I'm trying to make a physical install. anyone able to help please? I am at the partition page, do I 1. use entire 300 GB drive space, or install them side by side? as it is it shows i already have: /dev/sda1 28.0GB, Ubuntu 9.10 /dev/sda7 65.2 GB, swap /dev/sda5 3.7 GB, /dev/sda6 101.0 GB and Ubuntu 9. | 02:55 |
| [V13]Axel | zebastian: There is a Compiz effect, called Enhanced Desktop Zoom that allows you to hold the Super(windows) key, and scroll in, zooming in a lot. As you move the mouse, it moves the zoomed area around the screen at will. | 02:55 |
| DasEi | ronnie: does ls show the file ? | 02:55 |
| zebastian | hmmm | 02:56 |
| zebastian | i am not sure if this is what i want but | 02:56 |
| zebastian | how do i get this plugin | 02:56 |
| blakkheim | zebastian: install compizconfig-settings-manager and run ccsm | 02:56 |
| ronnie | DasEi alsa-driver-1.0.22.1.tar.bz2 | 02:56 |
| progesterone | Question: I've changed DNS address. Do I need to reboot? | 02:56 |
| CodyLane | http://imgnow.info/DSC-1268189453.jpg do my tits look big? | 02:57 |
| zebastian | blackhome: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager ? | 02:57 |
| [V13]Axel | zebastion: In Ubuntu, you have to have Compiz Effects enabled, or at least the restricted drivers installed, and do the above command^ "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager". Then, find it in System>Preferences. | 02:57 |
| cboyer1951 | so? | 02:57 |
| cboyer1951 | is there a more helpful ubuntu installation room on irc? | 02:57 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: I still don't understand your advice, I used to put software there, and then have to mention folders permission | 02:57 |
| [V13]Axel | cboyer1951: What's the problem you're encountering? | 02:58 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo tar -xjf alsa* | 02:58 |
| ^paradox^ | i wish someone would ask me that question | 02:58 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: you had him downloading a package with sudo, that is bad security practice. we download, comfigure and compile as normal user, not sudo. sudo should not be used unless absolutely necessary | 02:58 |
| [V13]Axel | ^paradox^: What question? What your problem is? | 02:59 |
| cboyer1951 | Axel, ok: i'm willing to be grateful, if i can get some help, thanks... i'm trying to install from my 'live' install, and on the partition table, should i choose 'erase and use entire disk?' as it is it shows i already have: /dev/sda1 28.0GB, Ubuntu 9.10 /dev/sda7 65.2 GB, swap /dev/sda5 3.7 GB, /dev/sda6 101.0 GB and Ubuntu 9.10 100.2 GB, I'm confused as to what to do? | 02:59 |
| ronnie | DasEi okay got it , its configuring | 02:59 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: the reason you have perms problems is beacuse you haven't learned proper permissions habits | 02:59 |
| zebastian | Axel: how do i check if i have compiz effects enabled? | 02:59 |
| ^paradox^ | ive asked upwards of five times | 02:59 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: k, for downloading, a step more then | 02:59 |
| hunt | cboyer1951: depends on what you want | 02:59 |
| ATI | so i guess no one here wants to help with an ati driver ? | 02:59 |
| ronnie | DasEi Now what - did the ./configure | 02:59 |
| [V13]Axel | cboyer1951: It depends. Are you wanting to erase all other installations of any operating systems? | 02:59 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: That means that you have at some point installed Ubuntu on that computer already. | 02:59 |
| DasEi | ronnie: should still run | 02:59 |
| cboyer1951 | ok, yes, I installed ubuntu from live, and it asked me to install and I chose drives, yes... did that this morning | 03:00 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: if he has used sudo to ./configure or make, then he's going to have problems. | 03:00 |
| techzg | I get output as 'Segmentation Fault'. Any help? | 03:00 |
| ronnie | yeah i got it unpacked - changed directories - configured | 03:00 |
| techzg | I'm using gcc compiler. | 03:00 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Ok, and what was/is wrong with that install? | 03:00 |
| zebastian | [V13]Axel: how do i check if i have compiz going? | 03:00 |
| cboyer1951 | but when i boot into the system, and as that user i make changes, like add Pidgin, after i shutdown and then boot into the ubuntu again, nothing is saved... so i was told that might mean i'm only live | 03:01 |
| hunt | cboyer1951: well its your decision now if you want to have several installations or just one | 03:01 |
| [V13]Axel | zebastian: Right-click your desktop, and to the effects tab, see which one is selected. | 03:01 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Did you eject the LiveCD before rebooting? | 03:01 |
| ^paradox^ | [V13]Axel: i need help with xsane image scanner. im about to scan text documents. i dont this much and xsane is quite foreign to me. i just need some advice on what settings to use | 03:01 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: so you want me to own that subdir to regar user then ? k.. | 03:01 |
| cboyer1951 | well, i want just one installation, and to adjust the user space so that i can install Ardour and all of the audio plugins | 03:01 |
| cboyer1951 | the live is livebootin, not a cd | 03:01 |
| DasEi | ronnie: cd .. | 03:02 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: no, I feel that you need to go back and learn the proper way to handle Linux permissions before giving bad advice in this channel. | 03:02 |
| jazzy1 | hi | 03:02 |
| [V13]Axel | ^paradox^:My apologies, but I don't use a scanner much, so I can't see myself as being effective in answering that question. | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Did you remove the flash drive that you installed from before rebooting? | 03:02 |
| ronnie | DasEi okay | 03:02 |
| jazzy1 | for some reason i cant mount my NTFS drive in ubuntu | 03:02 |
| zebastian | [V13]Axel: how do i check if compiz is running at all? i have awn dock working, so compiz must be running right? | 03:02 |
| === sadasdas is now known as rakia | ||
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo chown -R /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 | 03:02 |
| cboyer1951 | Jordan_U, no flash drive, i just loaded it from bootinetd, (whatever that is called) and an iso on my C drive | 03:03 |
| DasEi | second.. | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: that command will fail | 03:03 |
| Terminus | hey, has anybody here had trouble with thunderbird connecting to a mail server with the hostname mail.example.local? it won't connect but connecting to mail.example.com works fine. connecting to mail.example.local using thunderbird works on other OS, just not ubuntu. | 03:03 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: unetbootin? | 03:03 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: yes, you distract me, i saw it | 03:03 |
| ^paradox^ | [V13]Axel: its ok. but no one has even offered to tell me when i asked if theres a channel on freenode more specific to this | 03:03 |
| [V13]Axel | zebastian: I'm not sure, but if you enable effects in the preferences box that comes up when right-clicking the desktop, and clicking Change Desktop Background, and the windows wobble, you're using compiz. | 03:03 |
| linjq66 | hi | 03:03 |
| Terminus | running karmic here btw. | 03:03 |
| [V13]Axel | ^paradox^ There isn't that I am aware of. Sorry. | 03:03 |
| DasEi | ronnie: sudo chown -R $User /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 | 03:03 |
| ronnie | command failed | 03:04 |
| cboyer1951 | Jordan_U, yes unetbootin... I loaded with that in the C drive with ubuntu9.10.i386.iso | 03:04 |
| ^paradox^ | are there any channels anywhere on irc where i might get help with this? | 03:04 |
| [V13]Axel | Well, all, I must go. I'll be on in the morning and tomorrow afternoon. Goodnight. | 03:05 |
| DasEi | cd alsa-driver-1.0.22.1 | 03:05 |
| ardchoille | DasEi: that is bad advice. he needs to be compiling the software in his $HOME as user | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Ok, do you have more than one drive in the computer? | 03:05 |
| zebastian | [V13]Axel: ok, which one of the bullets do i check, simple, or extra effects? and after that on ccsm which effect do i look for | 03:05 |
| jazzy1 | whats a shortcut to open the console/konsole | 03:05 |
| DasEi | ardchoille: k, I'm up to leave that to you then ? | 03:05 |
| ronnie | DasEi No good | 03:05 |
| zebastian | blakkheim: ok i have compiz effects checked now, which was the effect you told me to use | 03:05 |

| ZykoticK9 | jazzy1, does alt+t work in KDE? (it works in Gnome) | 03:06 |
| cboyer1951 | Jordan_U, yes, the 2nd drive is 300 GB and I think that is what this is referring to? : /dev/sda1 28.0GB, Ubuntu 9.10 /dev/sda7 65.2 GB, swap /dev/sda5 3.7 GB, /dev/sda6 101.0 GB and Ubuntu 9.10 100.2 GB,, because my C: drive is only 150GB | 03:06 |
| Terminus | jazzy1: i just hit alt-f2 and type gnome-terminal. not much of a shortcut i guess. | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | crypt-0: Out of curiosity, do you really have a floppy drive? What do you use it for? | 03:06 |
| mdg2 | hello! Is is possible to make a home lan intercom setup? | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | Terminus, alt+t is faster ;) | 03:06 |
| Terminus | mdg2: you mean with hardware phones? | 03:07 |
| millhouse513 | Jordan_U: I would think you'd still need a floppy drive largely for firmware updates | 03:07 |
| mdg2 | Terminus, I was thinking just microphones... | 03:07 |
| Terminus | ZykoticK9: doesn't work here. =P | 03:07 |
| hunt | cboyer1951: I think you did something weird virtual here, you used unetbootin to install it, you didnt use any extra hardware like a usbstick or a cd? | 03:07 |
| crypt-0 | Jordan_U, yes i do. | 03:08 |
| Terminus | mdg2: in any case, you're probably looking for a voip system and that means asterisk or sipx. | 03:08 |
| cboyer1951 | hunt, correct, just unetbootin and the iso from the C: drive, however I 'did' previous to that have a ubuntu wubi install on my drive, but I changed partitions in windows and screwed it up... did that do it? | 03:08 |
| mdg2 | Terminus, I was just thinking like pidgin actually... | 03:08 |
| ronnie | DasEi ??? | 03:08 |
| crypt-0 | Jordan_U, i backup config files. | 03:08 |
| Terminus | mdg2: well, you can also just install skype on each computer and have them call each other. =) | 03:09 |
| ronnie | ardchoille can you help me? | 03:09 |
| hunt | cboyer1951: I dont think you can really install ubuntu that way, I'll take a quick look at unetbootin | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | millhouse513: http://flashrom.org/Flashrom | 03:09 |
| mdg2 | Terminus, these are a bit older computers - not sure they can handle skype | 03:09 |
| ryanakca | Do I need to have my swap on (listed in /etc/fstab) for suspend to work? | 03:10 |
| ardchoille | !sound | ronnie have you looked over any of this documentation yet? | 03:10 |
| ubottu | ronnie have you looked over any of this documentation yet?: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 03:10 |
| cboyer1951 | so, ok that probably screwed up the installation, then on this 2nd hard drive, during this installation i'm doing now... should i just choose 'use entire disk' it will reformat everything, but that's ok, i want it all to go to ubuntu | 03:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | Terminus, you're right! Just tried in Karmic, and failed. Sorry man. | 03:10 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Ok, you probably wont boot into the "real" Ubuntu install untill you change the boot order in your BIOS | 03:10 |
| ronnie | ardchoille I have read everything I can find - what I do understand doesnt work | 03:10 |
| crypt-0 | Jordan_U, looks like a hardware problem right? If the drive is dead ill just buy some cd-r s instead. | 03:10 |
| Terminus | mdg2: you might want to check getting a bunch of free sip addresses and using ekiga for that too. | 03:10 |
| mdg2 | Terminus, is ekiga fairly easy to use? | 03:11 |
| zebastian | blakkheim: got kicked out | 03:11 |
| cboyer1951 | Jordan_U, you mean choose to boot from the 300 GB drive in bios? instead of the 150 GB one that it's booting form now? which is dual boot Vista/Ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| Terminus | ZykoticK9: hehe. i just put it on a panel so that i can just click on it. =) | 03:11 |
| zebastian | blakkheim: what was it the plugin you mentioned that will help me enable a ZUI like environment | 03:11 |
| ardchoille | ronnie: ok, but I need to mention that it is bad security practice to beusing a downloader, ie wget, with sudo. and you should download sources to a directory in your home folder, configure and compile it as normal user, thenuse sudo to make install | 03:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | Terminus, ya, that one of the first things i do on a fresh install | 03:12 |
| PyjamaSpank | I'm trying to format a USB stick for use in XP. I'm using right click from the desktop then format to FAT. When I stick it in XP it says the disk isn't formatted. | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | crypt-0: I don't know, it might be that you need special parameters for mkfs for such a small file system. | 03:12 |
| Terminus | mdg2: i guess... dial a number or type an address. if you don't run your own sip server though, you won't have any intercom when the net connection is down. | 03:12 |
| ardchoille | ronnie: I don't use sound, I just wnated to make sure that you used sudo wisely | 03:12 |
| hunt | cboyer1951: on startup, do you get a screen where you can select your operating system? | 03:12 |
| mdg2 | PyjamaSpank, did you "apply" the formatting | 03:12 |
| ronnie | ardchoille I will never use sudo again if you can get me some sound | 03:13 |
| cboyer1951 | hunt: yes, Vista, Ubuntu, Ubuntu, UbuntuNetlogin | 03:13 |
| rastasean | where can i get compiz? | 03:13 |
| Terminus | ronnie: are you on karmic? | 03:13 |
| cboyer1951 | I use UbuntuNetlogin, i think that is what it says... I'll go into vistatweak and remove the other two entries | 03:13 |
| mdg2 | Terminus, sip server.... | 03:13 |
| ronnie | Terminus I dont think so | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: Yes. | 03:13 |
| cboyer1951 | those other two are from wubi, screwed up installs | 03:13 |
| ronnie | Terminus not sure what that is | 03:14 |
| cboyer1951 | Jordan_U,thanks, but that won't screw up Vista install, right? | 03:14 |
| Terminus | ronnie: ubuntu 9.10 == karmic koala. | 03:14 |
| PyjamaSpank | mdg2: when I format the disk, it pops up with two similar windows (error?) showing the disk is empty | 03:14 |
| ardchoille | ronnie: open a terminal and run: lsb_release -a | grep -i Codename | 03:14 |
| mdg2 | PyjamaSpank, are you using Gparted or something else? | 03:14 |
| ATI | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/392232/ | 03:14 |
| ardchoille | Terminus: Can you help ronnie get his sound working? | 03:14 |
| PyjamaSpank | mdg2: must I "safely remove" ? | 03:14 |
| ronnie | Terminus its a new install so if that the newest download than yes | 03:14 |
| patrickh | hi, does anyone know how i change the primary monitor in a dual monitor setup on ubuntu 9.10? | 03:15 |
| PyjamaSpank | mdg2: in the past I used Gparted to format | 03:15 |
| zebastian | is there an ubuntu with a zooming user interface? | 03:15 |
| Terminus | ronnie: what did the command that ardchoille pasted say? | 03:15 |
| ronnie | KARMIC it is!! | 03:15 |
| ronnie | Terminus karmic | 03:15 |
| Jordan_U | cboyer1951: You should be able to choose to boot vista from grub ( a boot menu should allow the option of booting windows or Ubuntu ). If not then in the worst case you just have to restore the boot order. Most BIOSs also have an option to temporarily boot a different drive. | 03:15 |
| Terminus | ronnie: if you're on karmic, instead of building alsa, you might want to try installing linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic first, if you haven't tried that already. | 03:15 |

| michael___ | hi all, this is my first time on here but i need some help, i have gone into compizconfig and cube caps and given myself a top image for the cube, but it cuts off at the edges, is there any way to get it fully on there, even if it means stretching/scewing it? | 03:18 |
| ronnie | Terminus yes - it doesnt show my soundcard in the audio hardware -- could that be a problem? | 03:19 |

| Souljah_ | major_redhat: you go to the manufacturer homepage of yourr mainboard and look it up? | 03:31 |
| major_redhat | Souljah_: i was hoping that an lspci output would help | 03:31 |
| Souljah_ | umm... | 03:31 |
| major_redhat | Souljah_: but that works too i guess | 03:31 |
| Souljah_ | that would be exacter, but not sure bout lspci for that... | 03:32 |
| Souljah_ | but lspci shows u only whats ON the mainbord | 03:33 |
| Souljah_ | like lsusb, just whats on usb | 03:33 |
| Souljah_ | so i would suggest lshw | 03:33 |
| major_redhat | lshw would report what back to me? | 03:33 |
| squidly | major_redhat: nope | 03:33 |

| squidly | ok.. this is wierd one user can login with gdm just fine.. but another user can not.. they just keep getting bounced back to the login scren | 03:37 |
| squidly | anyone know how to fix that? | 03:37 |

| ss23 | Can I get the php embed sapi with aptitude? | 03:45 |

| hekin | question, can i run multiple distros on one box? | 03:46 |
| cboyer1951 | if I, as user, begin installing audio software, Ardour, Rosegarden, etc... will I run out of room on my initial drive space, as the default in ubuntu? or should I be looking to A) install programs from somewhere else? (admin), or (root, or B) increase my drive space for this user? | 03:46 |
| meowbuntu | mp3 takes longer to extract | 03:46 |
| Souljah_ | hekin: yes | 03:46 |
| hekin | I googled around, they are all old and timed out | 03:46 |
| hekin | Souljah_: is there any good links you can provide? thanks | 03:47 |
| brjann | meowbuntu: mp3s are compressed, wavs are not. you trade disk space for processing overhead. | 03:47 |
| meowbuntu | what about mp3 and ogg | 03:47 |
| ss23 | IT's not just that they're compressed, they're missing data from the .wav | 03:47 |
| Souljah_ | you want to run that at the same time or with kind of multi-boot? | 03:47 |
| ss23 | An example of just a "compressed" wav would be FLAC | 03:47 |
| hekin | Souljah_: multiboot | 03:47 |
| cboyer1951 | also, oggis the smallest in size, isn't it? | 03:47 |
| cboyer1951 | ogg, geeze | 03:48 |
| ss23 | cboyer1951: I've never compared, but all the cool kids use FLAC ;) | 03:48 |

| meowbuntu | ss23, i am wantoing to transfer to my mp3 player i wish it could use ogg files or flac for that mater | 03:48 |

| obiwan_ | i'm wondering, is there any browser which lets you save sessions natively besides opera? | 03:52 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: that really depends on how you've got your drive set up, and how big it is. | 03:52 |
| hekin | anyone here has ever been annoyed by the huge fan noise before? | 03:52 |
| celthunder | obiwan firefox, chrome both do that | 03:52 |
| Soul_Sample | iceroot: thanks, but no, it's not working :S | 03:52 |
| cboyer1951 | brjann: thanks... i've got a 300 GB 2nd drive just installed ubuntu onto, gave it the whole drive | 03:52 |
| obiwan_ | celthunder: firefox doesn't do that. firefox saves session, not sessionS | 03:53 |
| Soul_Sample | iceroot: i found it, it's buffer instead of window lol | 03:53 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: then / and /home are on the same ~300 GB partition, so it doesn't matter if you're installing them for your user into /home/username or as root | 03:54 |
| cboyer1951 | what's a software that shows a graphical use of the mount points? i'll load that and let you know, brjann | 03:54 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer | 03:54 |
| iceroot | Soul_Sample: ah ok ;) | 03:54 |
| celthunder | obiwan hmm not sure then :( | 03:54 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: but if you let ubuntu take the whole drive, you should only have one mount point at / | 03:55 |
| cboyer1951 | brjann; so / and /home, ok, nodidng... running Disk Usage Analyser on filesystem, really cool! :) | 03:55 |
| cboyer1951 | uh, oh... / reports 100%, usr 80.6 % /var 12.7 % | 03:56 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: that doesn't mean % full, just % of total | 03:56 |
| cboyer1951 | can i check the mount point with that utility also? or another one? | 03:57 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: which mount point? | 03:57 |
| cboyer1951 | hope i'm asking intellingent questions... | 03:57 |
| cboyer1951 | well, you said just / should be mounted, not / and /home i took it to mean? | 03:57 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: nono. what I'm saying is that your /home directory is on the same partition as every other directory, so you'd be using the same space whether you installed as your user or as root | 03:58 |
| cboyer1951 | well, ok, now i'm scanning 'home' and it shows that my download and desktop and music are only going to be 4.0 kb | 03:58 |
| cboyer1951 | ok, i understand you brjann | 03:58 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: sometimes / and /home are on different partitions, or different drives, and then what i said above are not necessarily the case | 03:59 |
| cboyer1951 | thank you | 03:59 |
| cboyer1951 | so all is ok, but when I install Ardour for instance, as i just did, which directory did that go to, as default | 03:59 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: sure thing. the only other thing i'd recommend is that, if you're installing programs that exist in the ubuntu repositories, use the ones in the ubuntu repositories and install using apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic | 03:59 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: depends, how did you install it? | 03:59 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: (installing with the ubuntu software center is fine, too) | 04:00 |
| cboyer1951 | ahhh, good info, thanks brjann: i installed from my login cboyer1951, that i created at the installation process time, and i used Ubuntu Software Package | 04:00 |
| cboyer1951 | i've used synaptic, ok | 04:01 |
| cboyer1951 | in the past I've used synaptic, so Ubuntu Software install is oktoo ? | 04:01 |
| brjann | cboyer1951: okay, good, that's how you should install things :) when you install using any of those tools, the files are scattered in a few different places, depending on what they are. user binaries go to /usr/bin, libraries to /usr/lib, some extra stuff to /usr/share, ... | 04:01 |
| cboyer1951 | brjann: thank you a lot! I'm going to go now, and I'll look over the logs of this conversation too! | 04:02 |
| cboyer1951 | brjann I appreciate it, good bye! :) | 04:02 |

| sekyourbox | Zenker no | 04:32 |
| benwk | I've got quite a nasty situation. I was trying to install Ubuntu on a system that already had windows 7 on it. I was trying to do manual partitioning and it kept giving me errors when I tried to install grub. Later it suddenly sowed me that the space on my hard drive that I wanted to install Ubuntu to was "unusable". I erased the data on the /boot partition and tried to install again. Now I can't get into any operating system becaus | 04:32 |
| benwk | And for some reason no live CDs will work. Neither will the windows install CD. Everything was working fine until I tried installing this on top of windows with special partitioning. | 04:32 |
| Zenker | rofl, ty | 04:32 |
| Zenker | did anyone see my questions earlier? | 04:33 |
| AK|laptop | xangua: They're not going to include Docky anymore? o.o | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | AK|laptop, do you have Do starting from "startup applications" or some other means? FYI the compiz thing doesn't make much sense as if compiz isn't running you'd just get the regular Gnome-Do (without docky). | 04:33 |
| xangua | AK|laptop: no, now docky is a separate and independent app | 04:33 |
| AK|laptop | ZykoticK9: Yep, I have an entry for it. | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | AK|laptop, don't worry there is already a new separate docky install in Lucid - it's even better then the gnomedo one ;) | 04:34 |
| Zenker | ill just ask again :) i am using windows vista 32bit, can i install ubuntu 64 bit, my sys does support 64 bit | 04:34 |
| AK|laptop | xangua: Ah, good. I thought for a moment that you were saying it was going to disappear entirely. Docky is way too useful for that. | 04:34 |
| Zenker | with windows , i want to install with windows, forgot that part | 04:34 |

| ubottu | zenker, please see my private message | 04:34 |
| benwk | Can anyone help? | 04:34 |
| erichammond | solution: At the end of .xsession loop until background process is no longer detectable with ps | grep | 04:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zenker, if you have a 64bit CPU you are free to install a 64bit Ubuntu | 04:35 |

| xim_ | is there any network diagnostic that will run for a few days periodically pinging stuff and give you statistics on how often your network connection is up or down? | 04:37 |
| benwk | Can anyone help? | 04:37 |
| AK|laptop | benwk: Is the Windows 7 partition expendable? | 04:37 |
| benwk | AK|laptop: expendible? | 04:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zenker, no you need a new cd/dvd - unless its a re-writable and you blank it first | 04:38 |
| AK|laptop | benwk: Can you afford to lose it? | 04:38 |
| benwk | no | 04:38 |

| brjann | xim_: there's a link to the complete script (with email alerts, apparently) after the big code block. then they go on to turning it into a cron job | 04:41 |
| benwk | are there no volunteers here? | 04:41 |
| xangua | AK|laptop: if by default you men pre-installed, no...but it will be in the repository | 04:42 |
| AK|laptop | Gotcha. | 04:42 |
| xim_ | brjann, yeah totally, thanks thats pretty much just what i was looking for | 04:42 |
| Zenker | i let ubuntu update earlier, and when it restarted ubuntu did not start up, it got to the grub and left me staring at the grub command line, does anyone know why/which update caused this so i can prevent it when i reinstall? | 04:42 |

| AK|laptop | benwk: There are plenty of volunteers, but it just might be that nobody in here atm knows a solution. Patience is the best option. | 04:42 |
| mnaines | AK|laptop, what would happen if I told Synaptic to install everything? | 04:43 |
| AK|laptop | mnaines: You mean... to install every package in the repositories? o.o | 04:43 |

| k4rt33k | hey, while converting from pdf to text with hindi characters, the characters are distorted though i have hindifonts installed. Any suggestions? | 04:43 |
| AK|laptop | I... would imagine it would just take forever downloading everything, then take an additional forever to install it all. | 04:44 |
| mnaines | AK|laptop, Ubuntu Ultimate Edition is pre-loaded that way, but it also has Ultimatix...I'm wondering if I can do that myself and disregard Ultimatix | 04:44 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 04:44 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: hi its me dualboot from earlier. how are you? | 04:44 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: yah m fine. have you solved that problem? | 04:45 |
| benwk | no | 04:45 |
| abhi_nav | :-( | 04:45 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: what goes wrong? | 04:45 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: it has gotten worse now | 04:46 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: have you asked here in channel? provide appropriate details and ask here | 04:46 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: I cant seem to use any liveCDs or install CDs, except the alternate install CD, which wont let me install because installing grub wont work | 04:46 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: I've asked many times | 04:47 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: see, i dont know about what is install cd, but in this case you have to use LiveCD, means you can directly boot into ubuntu from that cd. | 04:47 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: Do you have livecd or not? | 04:47 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: i do have the liveCD. no live CDs will load | 04:48 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: make sure your bios is enabled to boot from cd | 04:48 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: i chose the cd to boot | 04:49 |
| benwk | in the bios | 04:49 |
| benwk | its not working | 04:49 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: hmm :-( then. its seem to be difficult. what is permannt nick here? If I found something i wll memo you on that nick | 04:50 |
| Zenker | anyone please,,, when ubuntu updated earlier, and when it restarted ubuntu did not start up, it got to the grub and left me staring at the grub command line, does anyone know why/which update caused this so i can prevent it when i reinstall? | 04:50 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: I don't have a permanent nick yet. | 04:50 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: do you have or can you make available any other distro livecd? | 04:50 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: even my windows install cd wont work | 04:51 |
| AK|laptop | Hard to imagine a problem that would bork a computer to the point that a live CD wouldn't work. | 04:51 |
| AK|laptop | Especially on a mere software level. | 04:51 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: I think better check with your hdd health | 04:51 |
| benwk | my hdd was working fine until now | 04:52 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: hmm | 04:52 |
| Zenker | does the drive show any unusual lights, like a blinking light or a red light, or, no lights at all, does it spin up to read when u insert the disk? | 04:52 |
| === wiretapped is now known as SuperTapped | ||
| benwk | this computer has no hdd lights | 04:53 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: do you have or can you make available any other distro livecd? | 04:53 |
| Zenker | how old is it? | 04:53 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: I've tried ubuntu 32 bit and ubuntu 64 bit | 04:54 |
| Zenker | (in other words, can you at least tell if the drive is functioning?) | 04:54 |
| benwk | Zenker: practically brand new | 04:54 |
| obiwan_ | guys what's the name of the channel for common talk? i think it starts with d but don't remember | 04:55 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: what I am suggesting is, have a another distro working LiveCD and check if that works or not. (not ubuntu 32-64) other distro means, fedora, madriva, linuxmint etc etc etc | 04:55 |
| benwk | abhi_nav: ok. will you be here for a while? | 04:55 |
| Kasm279 | i cant get my windows hard drive to mount (NFS, windows XP) When i click on it in dolphin, it just hops back to whatever folder i was already in. I'm running Kubuntu on my second hard drive and windows on the first | 04:56 |
| Kasm279 | any ideas on getting it to mount? | 04:56 |

| obiwan_ | meoiswa: file | 05:00 |

| meoiswa | was what i was lacking in knowledge | 05:01 |

| hunt | Hi, is it possible to "install" a live-cd to a partition using unetbootin and then boot this partition and really install the os? or is there a simpler way for this | 05:02 |
| abhi_nav | benwk: what happend? | 05:03 |
| meoiswa | @hunt: that could work, you might want to try Wubi too, not the real deal, but it might work for you | 05:03 |
| meoiswa | now, how do i link the result of grep with mv? | 05:04 |
| meoiswa | F7B0A2FDd01: audio/mpeg <- thats one of the lines that appear in the console if i do "file --mime-type * | grep -i audio" | 05:04 |
| Kasm279 | xangua: blargh, when i closed that tab in terminal i lost window management | 05:04 |
| Kasm279 | netsplit! | 05:04 |
| meoiswa | @Kasm: you could use a batch, that worked for me for keeping a dedicated quake server alive when SSHing and then closing the terminal on a remote server | 05:05 |
| ardchoille | meoiswa: for i in *.mp3; do mv $i /new/path; done ? | 05:06 |
| Zenker | someone please,,earlier today i let ubuntu 9.10 installed w vista update and after the restart it did not start ubuntu, instead it only went to the grub command line, does ANYONE know which update might have caused this so i can prevent it when i reinstall? | 05:06 |
| meoiswa | @ard: Thanks for helping but the files do not have file extension | 05:06 |
| Kasm279 | Zenker: get the supergrubdisk | 05:06 |
| meoiswa | @ard: they are all like this: F7B0A2FDd01 | 05:06 |
| brjann | meoiswa: umm.. try file --mime-type * | grep -i audio | cut -d':' -f1 | xargs -I{} mv {} /path/to/whatever | 05:06 |
| meoiswa | @Zenker: did you use Wubi? | 05:06 |
| Zenker | yes | 05:07 |
| meoiswa | if so find the patched wubi file and place it in THE ROOT OF YOUR C DRIVE | 05:07 |
| meoiswa | in windows | 05:07 |
| meoiswa | the patched file can be found in the bug reports | 05:07 |

| Zenker | i have already uninstalled it, i wanted 2 try the 64 bit anyhow. was it a grub update that caused this? | 05:08 |
| Elrox | um... why we even dicussing "wubi",,, that is the worst thing you can do... | 05:08 |
| Kasm279 | Elrox: because someone asked for help with it? | 05:09 |
| Zenker | after i crash n burn a few times i will be partitioning (however u spell it :) but i have a lot 2 learn, A LOT if u cant tell rofl | 05:09 |
| meoiswa | @Zenker: yes, all you need to do is replace the grub file in your C drive with the patched one | 05:09 |
| meoiswa | @Elrox: only wubi allowed me to install ubuntu, all other attempts ended in Grub install error | 05:09 |
| Elrox | Kasm279, but its not supported,, | 05:10 |
| Kasm279 | and? | 05:10 |
| Kasm279 | officially | 05:10 |
| Kasm279 | this is the comunity | 05:10 |
| meoiswa | @Elrox: not supported odesnt mean we, the users, cant help each other | 05:10 |
| Kasm279 | community* | 05:10 |
| ardchoille | Elrox: I believe wubi is supported as it's an offficial type of install | 05:10 |
| meoiswa | @Elrox: and that is the meaning of Ubuntu, from people, for people | 05:10 |
| meoiswa | @Zenker: i will upload the patched grub file and upload it to mediafire, please stand by | 05:11 |
| Zenker | ok thank you | 05:11 |

| benwk | abhi_nav: hi | 05:11 |

| meoiswa | actually i misplaced RM with MV so my files, the music ones, got deleted, which proves it works | 05:14 |

| meoiswa | true that, elrox | 05:17 |
| meoiswa | but for some people wubi is the best choise | 05:17 |

| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: thanks, I just found this actually: http://www.chrisamiller.com/blog/2008/05/11/rotating-one-monitor-with-ubuntu/ | 05:30 |
| Zenker | ahh. ok, do i guess i need to do this after i let the new installation install and update? | 05:30 |
| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: but my xorg.conf has hardly anything in it! when i try save using the nvidia-settings tool, it says that it can't parse my xorg.conf file | 05:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | jefimenko, looks familiar | 05:31 |
| meoiswa | Im impressed by the ammount of software that runs perfectly in wine and fails to run in crossover mac ^^ | 05:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | jefimenko, you need to remove your current xorg and run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" first | 05:31 |
| meoiswa | yes Zenker, after you install via wubi and update GRUB to 2.0 | 05:31 |
| Zenker | kk ty again, i wish i knew as much as you do, where do i need to start LMAO | 05:32 |
| meoiswa | install your distribution with Wubi | 05:32 |
| jefimenko | does anyone know why the default xorg.conf is so bare? | 05:32 |
| meoiswa | run all the updates, and reboot | 05:32 |
| meoiswa | you will fall in the empty grub recovery menu | 05:32 |
| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: i won't mess anything up by doing this? | 05:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | jefimenko, by default there is no xorg.conf | 05:32 |
| meoiswa | reboot into windows, and place the file i gave you right on the C drive, then reboot | 05:33 |
| meoiswa | boot with linux, and your grub menu should have your kernels listed once more, ^^ | 05:33 |
| Zenker | kk, i understand :) | 05:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | jefimenko, don't delete your current xorg just move it to xorg.conf.disabled | 05:33 |
| neen | hi guys, i'm setting up some stuff for backups on my server. i want to pipe the output of mysqldump into tar...i googled it and can't seem to find any information on this, anyone here know how to do it? :D | 05:33 |
| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: just did that | 05:33 |
| meoiswa | I spent 2 full days to find out that the patch (i had found at the 2nd google search) had been placed in the wrong folder | 05:34 |
| ss23 | Can I get the PHP embed sapi through aptitude? | 05:34 |
| meoiswa | 2 full days going trhu documentation and bugs report to end up finding that i had applied the patch incorrectly | 05:34 |
| sibble | im trying /quit | 05:35 |
| sibble | err :) | 05:35 |
| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: nvidia-xconfig added stuff for InputDevices for keyboard and mouse, etc. | 05:35 |
| Elrox | bazhang, i am sorry, i was asking a secondary support question of someone offering help here,,, i will refrain to PM or other .. | 05:35 |
| jefimenko | ZykoticK9: should i remove those sections or leave them? | 05:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | jefimenko, just edit what you need to and leave the rest | 05:35 |

| Kasm279 | nes you can MoMo | 05:46 |
| Kasm279 | yes* | 05:46 |
| MoMo | =D | 05:46 |
| Kasm279 | i know you can run thin clients with ubuntu server | 05:46 |
| Kasm279 | basically the same :) | 05:46 |
| bettsp | Does anyone have trouble with Remote Desktop (VNC) on Karmic hanging? | 05:47 |
| MoMo | well the end goal is a cluster -- i just want the advantage of no hard drives on the nodes | 05:47 |
| EruditeHermit | hello, can anyone point me to instructions for the currently accepted method of building Ubuntu kernels from git repositories ? | 05:47 |
| bettsp | I connect via Mac's Screen Sharing, and all I get is my Desktop background | 05:47 |
| Kasm279 | bettsp: try it with Chicken of the VNC | 05:47 |
| Kasm279 | on the Mac | 05:47 |
| bettsp | Kasm279: I tried that, it didn't help any (super slow, basically unusable) | 05:48 |
| Kasm279 | hm | 05:48 |
| Kasm279 | bettsp: i havent gone mac>linux | 05:49 |
| Kasm279 | ive gon the other way, but not back, and im only on Jaunty | 05:49 |
| bettsp | Kasm279: It *used* to work perfectly though, it's not like it never worked - just one day, it started sticking all the time | 05:49 |
| Kasm279 | network congestion? | 05:49 |
| Kasm279 | also, try turning the VNC server off and back on | 05:49 |
| bettsp | Kasm279: Nope, the mouse cursor follows around - I also tried killing VNC server too | 05:50 |
| Kasm279 | hm | 05:50 |
| bettsp | Any experience with NX? Is it any better? It's far less integrated and "easy", so I was trying to stick with VNC | 05:50 |
| Kasm279 | bettsp: have you tried the other way or VNC'ed to the linux box with another comp? | 05:50 |
| Kasm279 | or VNC'ing to another comp with the Mac? | 05:51 |
| bettsp | Kasm279: Haven't tried with another PC -> Ubuntu - I can VNC to other Macs but that doesn't tell me much | 05:51 |
| bettsp | Could having Desktop Effects (Compiz) enabled have anything to do with it? | 05:53 |
| Kasm279 | probably not | 05:54 |
| Kasm279 | bettsp: i cant help with screen sharing from the Mac | 05:54 |
| Kasm279 | my Mac runs Tiger | 05:54 |
| Kasm279 | runs quite well on 400MHz | 05:54 |
| orb01 | Hey, I installed TeamSpeak from their website and I want to create a shortcut for my KDE menu. It works when I run the command (cd /home/orb-01/.Programs/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64 && ./ts3client_runscript.sh) from the command line, but when I add this command to the shortcut command, it doesn't work. Anyone an idea what to do? | 05:55 |
| bettsp | Kasm279: Ah, that was it! Desktop Effects + Screen sharing = Borked | 05:55 |
| bettsp | Disable Desktop Effects and it works again | 05:55 |
| Kasm279 | well i fixed my drive mounting problem | 05:56 |
| Kasm279 | its because i hibernated the windows bit instead of shutting it down | 05:56 |
| blakkheim | orb01: put that in a bash script and point your menu to the script | 05:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | orb01, the ./ts3client_runscript.sh might be the problem, try using the full path instead | 05:56 |
| dooglus | I installed ubuntu on this laptop about a week ago, and since then the laptop has been completely locking up about 6 or 7 times a day. It's much less stable than with windows before. Any ideas what to try? | 05:56 |
| Kasm279 | dooglus: hardware? | 05:56 |
| xangua | !details | dooglus | 05:57 |
| ubottu | dooglus: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 05:57 |
| orb01 | blakkheim, I tried that as well. | 05:57 |
| orb01 | ZykoticK9, I tried that too. | 05:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | orb01, any reason you didn't just use the teamspeak-client from the repo? | 05:58 |
| dooglus | Kasm279: maybe hardware. I don't know how to tell. here's a paste of kern.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/392295/ | 05:59 |
| Kasm279 | dooglus: i mean WHAT hardware does the laptop have? | 05:59 |
| orb01 | ZykoticK9, well the reason is I'm using Mandriva :P. | 05:59 |
| dooglus | xangua: I'm running ubuntu, current version. when I try to do anything I get the following: complete lockup. I expected it to do what I asked. | 05:59 |
| Kasm279 | aack, that crash log isnt as easy to read as one from OSX | 06:00 |
| bazhang | orb01, why would you ask here rather than #mandriva ? | 06:00 |
| dooglus | Kasm279: here's lspci and lsusb output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/392298/ | 06:01 |
| orb01 | bazhang, better support. | 06:01 |
| bazhang | orb01, mandriva is not supported here | 06:01 |
| Kasm279 | dooglus: nice hardware | 06:02 |
| Kasm279 | AMD ftw | 06:02 |
| dooglus | Kasm279: it's not mine. I'd just like to get it working reliably before its owner switches back to Windows. we're meant to have stability as a 'selling point', so these regular lock-ups aren't acceptable | 06:03 |
| Kasm279 | hm | 06:04 |
| Kasm279 | i dunno, i never have lock up broblems | 06:04 |
| Kasm279 | try searching for the error codes in the panic log | 06:04 |
| Kasm279 | (thats whats happening, a kernel panic) | 06:04 |
| Kasm279 | does anyone know how to mount a drive thats not in /etc/fstab/ or/etc/mtab/ ? | 06:05 |
| sibble | what's it formatted as? | 06:05 |
| Kasm279 | sibble: NTFS | 06:05 |
| Kasm279 | i need to mount it as read only because its hibernated | 06:05 |
| Zenker | i just noticed something with this dl, the file name is ubuntu-9.10-amd64.iso, . does this mean that its for an AMD processor cuz i have a intel core duo | 06:07 |
| Kasm279 | Zenker: it doesnt matter | 06:07 |
| Zenker | PHEW, tg and thank you | 06:07 |
| Kasm279 | also, i figured out what was wrong with the hard drive and why it wouldnt mount | 06:07 |
| dooglus | Zenker: it's for yours too | 06:07 |
| blakkheim | Zenker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 | 06:07 |
| Kasm279 | Zenker: i have the drive hibernated | 06:07 |
| sibble | Kasm279: have you tried the remove_hiberfile option? | 06:08 |
| dooglus | Kasm279: I see 'ntos' in the kern.log - that's an ndiswrapper thing, which I'm using | 06:08 |
| Kasm279 | sibble: i would prefer not to do that | 06:09 |
| Kasm279 | i dont need to write to it, just copy music over from the windows drive | 06:09 |

| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 06:10 |
| Kasm279 | because its faster to hibernate to swap OSes then to shut down | 06:10 |
| Kasm279 | and i dont want to reboot just to access the drive | 06:11 |
| Kasm279 | the main problem is /dev/sda1/ (the drive) isnt in /etc/fstab | 06:11 |
| sibble | you wouldn't happen to have any RAID settings in your BIOS? probably unrelated | 06:12 |
| Kasm279 | no | 06:12 |
| dsnyders | Kasm279, Is there a problem with putting /dev/sda1 into fstab? | 06:12 |
| Zenker | ahhh, i see, the intel's 64 bit archicet is borrowed from the amd's design | 06:13 |
| Kasm279 | dsnyders: i dunno how | 06:13 |
| amol112 | hi i want to download kernel 2.6.24.3 SMP mod_unload 586 .can anyone tell me direct link for download this version linux-image | 06:13 |

| bettsp | kasm279: Btw, you *really* shouldn't mount a NTFS volume as read-write when it's hibernated - recipe for file corruption | 06:19 |
| Kasm279 | bettsp: im trying to mount it as read only | 06:19 |
| bettsp | Just as a reminder :) | 06:19 |
| Kasm279 | thanks bettsp for the command | 06:20 |
| Kasm279 | it refused at first until iadded the -r command | 06:20 |
| brjann | Kasm279, bettsp: i would recommend the ntfs-3g option, as the in-kernel ntfs module is old and nigh-unsupported at this point | 06:21 |

| Kasm279 | i didnt know i had that much xD | 06:22 |
| Kasm279 | also, i cant get temp readings from anything | 06:23 |
| Kasm279 | not even SMART | 06:23 |
| Kasm279 | also, is there a way to start a command in a terminal and keep it open when you exit terminal? | 06:24 |
| brjann | Kasm279: screen would be the best way | 06:24 |
| Kasm279 | brjann: right now kwin is down | 06:24 |
| testpage | for tightvncserver what do i have to edit in the .vnc/xstartup so gnome shows by default? | 06:25 |

| brjann | Kasm279: i have no idea what kwin is :) | 06:25 |
| Jordan_U | Kasm279: command & disown | 06:25 |
| Kasm279 | brjann: whatever the window manager in GNOME is | 06:25 |
| Kasm279 | basically like that but for KDE | 06:25 |
| brjann | Jordan_U: that won't keep it open if the terminal exits | 06:25 |
| brjann | Jordan_U: oh! yes it will, my bad | 06:25 |
| * brjann sheepish | 06:26 | |
| Kasm279 | Jordan_U: i cant get to terminal though | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | Kasm279: Can you get to another tty with ctrl+alt+f1? ( ctrl+alt+f7 to get back into X ) | 06:27 |
| Kasm279 | yeah | 06:27 |
| Kasm279 | but starting kwin there wont work | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | Kasm279: If you can, you can start kwin with "DISPLAY=:0.0 kwin & disown" | 06:27 |
| testpage | anyone happen to know | 06:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | testpage, I'd guess "gnome-session" but don't know for sure | 06:28 |
| Kasm279 | Jordan_U: says cannot connect to X | 06:29 |
| testpage | ya tried that | 06:29 |
| testpage | keeps going to x | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | Kasm279: Did you run the exact command I gave? | 06:29 |
| Kasm279 | does it need DISPLAY in caps? | 06:29 |
| Jordan_U | Kasm279: Yes | 06:30 |
| Kasm279 | ok | 06:30 |
| Kasm279 | kwin is going again | 06:30 |
| Kasm279 | thanks Jordan_U | 06:30 |

| xTheGoat121x | Does anyone in here know how to interpret backtraces? | 06:33 |
| yo_rmn | hello anuone installed 8.10 in a compaq f700? | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | !anyone | xTheGoat121x | 06:33 |
| ubottu | xTheGoat121x: 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? | 06:33 |
| Miracle | hi people, I want to learn how to use mysql and practice commands but I have no data. any suggestion on a source of data to get me started? | 06:33 |
| testpage | hrm | 06:33 |
| Tironn | xTheGoat121x: in python | 06:33 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tironn, hmmm... okay | 06:34 |
| TxMatt | 06:34 | |
| Jordan_U | yo_rmn: Why 8.10 rather than 9.10? | 06:34 |
| Miracle | TxMatt google for what? | 06:34 |
| xTheGoat121x | Jordan_U, actually that was my question -- interpreting a backtrace is precisely what I need | 06:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | !google > TxMatt | 06:34 |
| ubottu | TxMatt, please see my private message | 06:34 |
| Tironn | xTheGoat121x: I meant are you reffering to backtraces in python | 06:34 |
| yo_rmn | cause its... I dont hav a live cd for it right now, will it be better 9.10 right? and... no CD drive also | 06:34 |
| testpage | Please set correct fontPath in the tightvncserver script. | 06:34 |
| testpage | is what im getting | 06:34 |
| yo_rmn | I will dl 9.10 now | 06:35 |
| zcat[1] | window min/max/close buttons have somehow ended up on the left side of the window. can't find anything under Appearance, changing themes doesn't help. Any suggestions?! | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | zcat[1], are you using Lucid? | 06:35 |
| zcat[1] | Ummm.. yeah | 06:35 |
| xTheGoat121x | Tironn, honestly unsure. I'm looking for someone to interpret a crash I'm having with Pidgin, but all the people in #pidgin seem to be asleep or busy | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | zcat[1], use #ubuntu+1 for support then, but see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side for fix | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | xTheGoat121x: Then you should either pastebin the backtrace in question or ask for a tutorial on learning to interpret backtraces. http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 06:36 |
| xTheGoat121x | http://pastebin.com/7LwatLmE | 06:36 |
| zcat[1] | sweet, thanks! | 06:36 |
| Tironn | zcat[1]: I had this happen. I had somehow changed themes entirely | 06:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | zcat[1], FYI the default them doesn't adjust buttons well | 06:37 |
| Jordan_U | xTheGoat121x: Does this happen imediately every time pidgin starts? | 06:37 |
| testpage | hrm | 06:37 |
| zcat[1] | would it be easier to just install emerald? was thinking about doing that anyway | 06:38 |
| Jordan_U | !emerald | zcat[1] | 06:38 |
| ubottu | zcat[1]: emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | zcat[1], emerald is no longer supported - you should avoid it if you can. Not sure what would happen if you use emerald | 06:38 |
| yo_rmn | please tellme... is there anything I need to know before installing 9.10 in compaq f700 from usb? | 06:38 |
| xTheGoat121x | Jordan_U, no. I'll have a window with several tabs, receive another IM that will randomly open in another window. I'll combine the windows to have a group of tabs, and the next IM I receive will crash Pidgin | 06:38 |
| zcat[1] | but I like emerald :( | 06:39 |
| dsnyders | yo_rmn, kpovmodeler will no longer work in 9.10 | 06:39 |
| xTheGoat121x | Jordan_U, I gather that the program is trying to refer the new IM to a window that no longer exists | 06:39 |
| yo_rmn | kpovmodeler? IDK, it has xp now | 06:39 |
| zcat[1] | sigh, lucid may be the ubuntu release that finally pushes me back to debian :( | 06:39 |
| ShibariMstr | can anyone help me with my dvd-r | 06:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | zcat[1], this is NOT the channel for discussing Lucid, please use #ubuntu+1 | 06:40 |
| ShibariMstr | I have nero9 and am trying to make it a bootable dvd from an iso but nothing is showing up? | 06:40 |
| k4rt33k | Hey, I have a pdf with a hindi font and when I convert it to text how to generate unicode encoded text? | 06:41 |
| booboo | ShibariMstr, run nero to burn the iso it will already be bootable | 06:41 |
| dsnyders | yo_rmn, kpovmodeler is a program for creating 3d graphics. Apparently, it is no longer maintained, and has been removed from the repositories. I have know idea whether this is important for you or not. | 06:42 |
| testpage | ok having issues with tightvncserver | 06:42 |
| yo_rmn | is not, thankyou | 06:42 |
| testpage | if anyone knows it please give me a hand | 06:42 |
| Miracle | you know I'm a newb to ubuntu and have asked many question but have not receive 1 answer yet. id there a beginners channel? | 06:43 |
| ShibariMstr | what about the simulation box in the burn tab? | 06:43 |

| WinterSky | I tried installing splashy. So I stopped trying and now I can't install anything else. http://pastebin.com/rMPhdkeV | 06:46 |
| Losha | Miracle: there's usually a reason questions go unanswered e.g. no-one knows the answer, or crucial details are missing. What kind of things have you been asking? | 06:46 |
| Muscovy | WinterSky: Try running apt-get -f install. | 06:47 |

| ShibariMstr | testpage does it give you the error bitmap module not found? | 06:48 |
| testpage | no but i will get you the exact error | 06:48 |
| testpage | also i try tightvncserver -kill:1 but its not killing it | 06:49 |
| testpage | is there a way to restart the whole service and all connections? | 06:49 |
| Muscovy | I think it's --kill (two dashes)? | 06:49 |
| ShibariMstr | you need the process number then the command sudo kill process# | 06:49 |
| testpage | http://pastebin.com/nxLdc5a3 <-- is my xstart config | 06:50 |
| Muscovy | Or you could killall. | 06:50 |
| abrahadabra | e.g. killall firefox | 06:50 |
| testpage | Unrecognized option: --kill:1 | 06:50 |

| UnclaimedBaggage | Hi folks - I've just changed the CHGRP settings on my main user account, and now get a "[xyz] is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported" message. Do I have any chance of getting out of this, or is it full reinstall? | 06:53 |
| ShibariMstr | testpage try editing the script | 06:53 |
| testpage | to what? | 06:53 |
| testpage | that is edited | 06:54 |
| testpage | editing the script isnt really telling me anything, :) | 06:54 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: chgrp is for changing group ownership of files, not users | 06:54 |
| ShibariMstr | Please set correct fontPath in the tightvncserver script | 06:54 |
| ShibariMstr | I think not | 06:54 |
| testpage | which would be? | 06:54 |
| testpage | its a fresh install | 06:54 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: so I guess my question is, what did you actually do? :) | 06:55 |
| ShibariMstr | try ./configure tightvncserver | 06:55 |
| Losha | testpage: first, find your fonts. Look in /usr/share/fonts and /etc/X11/fonts. Are they there? | 06:55 |
| testpage | losha, ill look 1 sec | 06:55 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | *grin* Cheers brjann...my bad. I mean I changed the group to which my main login account is set. Set up a new group, added my main account to it...and now it seems to have lost sudo privileges | 06:56 |
| testpage | have 2 directories in /usr/share/fonts truetype and X11 | 06:56 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: are you still a member of the admin group? | 06:56 |
| ShibariMstr | try the X11 | 06:57 |
| testpage | and 1 directory in /etc/X11/fonts misc | 06:57 |
| testpage | where shibari | 06:57 |
| testpage | heh please be more detailed | 06:57 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: not sure how to check that. | 06:57 |
| testpage | i pastebin'd for a reason | 06:57 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: type groups | 06:57 |
| Losha | testpage: ok, try editing /usr/bin/tightvncserver (make a backup copy first) around line 54 | 06:57 |
| testpage | ok | 06:58 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: "john web" ...with "web" being the dodgy group I set up to experiment with | 06:58 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: that's all? | 06:58 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: that's all | 06:58 |
| Losha | testpage: where it says fontPath, uncomment the line and put your two font directories in it, separated by a comma. | 06:58 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: ah, you have committed the cardinal sin of the usermod command, forgot to use the append flag ;) | 06:58 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: what's happened is you've replaced all the groups your user *should* be a member of, not just added to them | 06:59 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: *bangs head on wall* Damn. I have a root account, but by the looks of things that's disabled in Ubuntu by default(?) Any way to get out of this or am I doomed? | 06:59 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: no, you should be able to get into the recovery console. one moment, phone call :) | 07:00 |
| abrahadabra | Unreclaimed >> do u use sudo? | 07:01 |

| prodigel | hi all. How can I find out what font xterm uses? I want to apply the same font to gnome-terminal and I can't find it | 07:02 |

| ZykoticK9 | UnclaimedBaggage, are you using Karmic? | 07:05 |

| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: Have GNOME as well. | 07:06 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | ZykoticK9: Karmic it is. | 07:06 |
| awaad | Any one can help ? | 07:07 |
| prodigel | testpage, good luck on your quest. It's simpler for me to just dump gnome-terminal | 07:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | UnclaimedBaggage, worst comes to worst, check the !grub2 factoid and the parts about chrooting your system, then you could re-add yourself to the admin group. Hopefully it won't come to that, but keep it in mind (reinstall NOT required) | 07:07 |
| testpage | im just going through this tutorial prodigel | 07:07 |

| enli | is there an app which shows files being accessed like "System monitor" shows current processes.. | 07:15 |
| enli | ( i dont remember exactly as havnt used windows for a long time) i guess there is similar function in vista task manager where you can see the file i/o and stats and the processes.. is there something similar for linux? | 07:15 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: essentially, what you're going to do is as follows: get into the grub menu, highlight your current kernel, and hit 'e' to edit the boot options. add single at the end, then hit CTRL-X too boot. that *should* start booting the system, then drop you to a root prompt before all the services start | 07:15 |
| Zenker | abrahadabra? | 07:15 |
| malifal | enli: lsof or iotop | 07:16 |
| malifal | enli: i think :/ | 07:16 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: once you're at the root prompt, type adduser <youruser> admin and then reboot | 07:17 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: clear on all of that? | 07:18 |
| enli | malifal: iotop that is, thanks : ) | 07:18 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: Many thanks. Will do. (Subnote: The help in this IRC channel just reminded me why I use Ubuntu ;-) ) | 07:18 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: wait until after it works to say that or you'll jinx us ;) | 07:18 |
| UnclaimedBaggage | brjann: I think so. And yeah *laughs* - good point. (Hopefully) back in 10. ;-) | 07:19 |
| brjann | UnclaimedBaggage: if all goes well, you should be able to sudo again once you've rebooted. however, some things might not work properly, since you'll be missing other groups you should be in. come back and we'll sort you out | 07:19 |

| solow | I'm having some issues | 08:03 |
| solow | I just rebooted my laptop after installing updates on ubuntu, and my wireless stopped working. | 08:03 |
| testpage | how do i add a user? | 08:04 |
| DaZ | testpage: adduser? :f | 08:05 |
| testpage | daz thanks | 08:06 |
| solow | you know what | 08:06 |
| fohos | hello | 08:07 |
| solow | i'll drop ubuntu for now. Perhaps I'll go back and use it again if people fix the wireless annoyance, and there's adobe support. | 08:07 |
| fohos | is there anyone here familiar with remailers | 08:07 |
| cmang | i wish adobe would support linux. that'd be great. | 08:07 |
| fohos | just f*ch adobe | 08:08 |
| fohos | is there anyone familiar with mixmaster? | 08:09 |
| solow | fohos, Don't be like that. Adobe is great. The best out there. And I really need it. virtualbox did it for me, but with my internet gone, it sucks. | 08:09 |
| testpage | finally | 08:10 |
| testpage | in | 08:10 |

| solow | fohos, How's that/ | 08:11 |
| mawst | Where can I keep up with new packages being added to the ubuntu repo? | 08:11 |
| fohos | just because corporations have a corporate agenda to use some OS and applications taht does not make neither the OS nor the application the best out there | 08:11 |
| solow | fohos, Stop being such an anarchist. Adobe is the best software out there with photoshop, flash, illustrator, aftereffects. I dont know about the rest. | 08:12 |
| testpage | acrobat | 08:13 |

| harisund | brjann: I will if you could tell me if you found anything interesting :P | 08:21 |

| WinterSky | Does anyone know of an app that I can use to detect and remove duplicate files? Currently I use fdupes to make a list and remove them by hand. | 08:25 |
| monokrome | Hey. Does anyone know how to change Ubuntu's install of Apache2 to run Apache as root instead of www-data? | 08:25 |
| Flannel | monokrome: Why do you want to do that? | 08:25 |
| solow | I want my wireless back :( | 08:26 |
| monokrome | Flannel: Apache's WSGI library can't run it's processes as a separate user than www-data because only root can do that | 08:26 |
| brjann | WinterSky: how does fdupes work? depending on the format of the list, you can probably use the program xargs to remove the files in the list in one swipe | 08:26 |
| serbz | Hey, stupid question... without having ubuntu installed how can I check what's the latest version of a certain package? EG PHP? | 08:26 |
| jussi01 | serbz: included in ubuntu? | 08:27 |
| digitalfiz | monokrome, i believe you can set the user it runs as in the conf | 08:27 |
| brjann | serbz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ | 08:27 |
| monokrome | digitalfiz: thank you :) | 08:27 |
| Flannel | monokrome: Really? It forces you to run apache as root? That's a horrible set up. | 08:27 |
| serbz | brjann: I search for PHP there | 08:27 |
| monokrome | Flannel: Only root can spawn processes as other users afaik | 08:27 |
| serbz | and it gives me a binch of stuff? | 08:27 |
| serbz | but I cant see which exact version of PHP it has, or I cant interpretit | 08:28 |
| serbz | ? | 08:28 |
| digitalfiz | hmm i wonder if thats why suphp wasnt working for me. cuz apache wasnt ran as root | 08:28 |
| WinterSky | brjann fdupes creates a list with 1 file name on each line. So it takes 2 lines and lists both the file names with the same hash. | 08:28 |
| solow | k | 08:28 |
| solow | dont help me :( | 08:28 |
| gui1 | hi, I was wondering how to configure network connection with DHCP manual address | 08:28 |
| hachouri | hello, is it possible to setup cups print server which brodcast some specific printer to each subnet, for example pritnter1 and printer2 for subnet 192.168.0.0/24, printer3 and printer4 for 192.168.1.0/24 | 08:28 |
| monokrome | digitalfiz: Sounds like a good reason. | 08:29 |
| monokrome | Do you know what config it would be in? :/ | 08:29 |
| brjann | WinterSky: would you mind pastebinning a few lines? i might be able to whip up a command for you | 08:29 |
| Flannel | monokrome: You want to edit /etc/apache2/envvars | 08:29 |
| serbz | jussi01: Nah I meant any packages | 08:29 |
| monokrome | oh ok thank you | 08:29 |
| digitalfiz | httpd.conf | 08:29 |
| Flannel | monokrome: but, running apache as root is a pretty significant security risk. | 08:29 |
| Flannel | digitalfiz: Nah, it's moved to /etc/apache2/envvars | 08:30 |
| digitalfiz | ah ok | 08:30 |
| azareth | how can I extend the size of ubuntu live drive? | 08:30 |
| monokrome | Flannel: Yea, but is there a way to set permissions so that www-data can spawn processes as other users? | 08:30 |
| malifal | azareth: temporary solution, clear the deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives, long solution, create a new partition or use clonezilla or gparted to increase it | 08:30 |
| digitalfiz | might be able to put www-data in the wheel group? | 08:31 |
| Sacho | serbz: karmic (php): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage) | 08:31 |
| Sacho | 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.4 [security]: all | 08:31 |
| Flannel | monokrome: I believe there is, yes. But I'd have to look into what you were doing/etc | 08:31 |
| gui1 | how to configure DHCP with manual address | 08:31 |
| azareth | 10x malifal | 08:31 |
| Flannel | monokrome: I'm not familiar with WSGI at all | 08:31 |
| zombie_ | any c++ programmers in here? | 08:31 |
| monokrome | Flannel: I run a webserver with applications using Postgres, and Postgres is using ident authentication | 08:32 |
| monokrome | zombie_: Yea, but there's more in the C++ channel | 08:32 |
| zombie_ | monokrome: they seem to be not answering | 08:32 |
| monokrome | zombie_: You can PM me, but I can't guarantee a decent response :) | 08:33 |
| WinterSky | brjann Here it is: http://pastebin.com/FgjmJwLY | 08:33 |
| serbz | Guys, without installing Ubuntu can you please tell me how I can check the latest version of a certain package, for example PHP. I search here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=php&searchon=names&suite=karmic§ion=all but it has a bunch of stuff with different version numbers... where is the actual PHP? | 08:33 |
| monokrome | Flannel, digitalfiz: I'll try to use wheel and see how that works. Thank you for both of your input on this. | 08:33 |
| WinterSky | zombie_ you needed a C++ programmer? | 08:33 |
| Sacho | serbz: apt-cache search ^php5$ --names-only --full | 08:34 |
| Sacho | none of those packages are php itself | 08:34 |
| Nielsen | 5.2.6.dfsg.1-3ubuntu4.5 | 08:35 |
| Nielsen | any idea when php 5.3 will be available? | 08:35 |
| brjann | WinterSky: wow, pastebin is *crawling*. i'll get back to you when it finally loads | 08:35 |
| Nielsen | i could use array_replace() ;) | 08:35 |
| WinterSky | brjann No problem. | 08:35 |

| serbz | Sacho: I dont have ubuntu installed | 08:36 |
| zombie_ | WinterSky: suppose you have a constructor that looks like this: VM(const vector<Instruction>& instrList) : _instrList(instrList){} | 08:36 |
| serbz | how do I check via the site? | 08:36 |
| Sacho | search for php5 | 08:36 |
| kmahl | i am trying too read up on some bash, but i am stuck on something in the tekst? I dont understand what exactly he is reffering too in the tekst? check out http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_03_08.html and tell me what he means with 3.1.2 creating what files? | 08:37 |
| serbz | ok found it I think | 08:37 |
| serbz | 5.2.10.dfsg.1-2ubuntu6.4 | 08:37 |
| serbz | thanks | 08:37 |
| zombie_ | WinterSky: and _instrList is declared in the private code.... what does ": _instrList(instrList)" do? | 08:37 |
| unop | kmahl, that's a question for #bash really. | 08:37 |
| brjann | WinterSky: okay, so like you said, each pair of lines is the same file? what does it do if you have three copies of the same file? | 08:37 |

| === kkojiban1 is now known as haru | ||
| abhi_nav_ | AzikaCorp: i want something student level | 08:40 |
| Nielsen | hachouri, i tried once, a few years ago. Back then, i could only get it to broadcast all printers to both subnets. | 08:40 |
| AzikaCorp | abhi_nav_: you mean for beginners ? | 08:41 |
| abhi_nav_ | AzikaCorp: graphics programming menas draw circle, using xyz algo, draw arc etc etc 2d /3d transformation etc | 08:41 |
| AzikaCorp | abhi_nav_: alright | 08:41 |
| abhi_nav_ | AzikaCorp hmm | 08:41 |
| hachouri | Nielsen, do you think that this possible now with new version? | 08:41 |
| serbz | Why do I have to search for Python2.6 to find that package rather than Python2 But Python3 works for Python3.1 ? | 08:42 |
| monokrome | Flannel: addgroup: The group `wheel' does not exist. | 08:42 |
| Nielsen | hachouri, i never tried. | 08:42 |
| theadmin | Say, it seems to me that the wallpaper is a separate app, it sometimes takes a while to load. What is it called? | 08:42 |
| monokrome | I think that's a Gentoo thing? | 08:42 |
| WinterSky | zombie_ I'll ask my programmer friend | 08:42 |
| WinterSky | brjann I'm not sure but I'll try | 08:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | monokrome, wheel is like admin in ubuntu terms (able to change to root) | 08:43 |
| monokrome | WinterSky: We already figured it out. It's a copy constructor. | 08:43 |
| monokrome | ZykoticK9: Flannel told me to add www-data to the wheel group | 08:43 |
| brjann | WinterSky: okay. it's fairly simple to write something that will just delete every other file listed, but I want to make sure that won't have any strange side effects :) | 08:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | monokrome, well Flannel is certainly more knowledgeable then I am, but i have no wheel group on my system | 08:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Are there any apps in the repos that can use a webcam to control the mouse? | 08:44 |
| theadmin | Same as ZykoticK9 | 08:44 |
| monokrome | hmm | 08:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | monokrome, i do remember wheel from my gentoo days though | 08:45 |
| brjann | monokrome, ZykoticK9: i think the admin group on ubuntu is equivalent | 08:45 |
| WinterSky | monokrome: ok | 08:45 |
| serbz | is there any problem with manually installing packages rather than what's in the repos? | 08:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | brjann, i'd imagine so | 08:45 |
| theadmin | serbz: Usually not. | 08:46 |
| WinterSky | brjann I tried making blank text files then 2 files with that had the number 1 inside so they'd have a different MD5. I found that it creates a blank line in between groups of files. | 08:46 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | serbz: I install stuff like Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Flash. As long as its from a trusted source. | 08:46 |
| brjann | WinterSky: ooh, that makes it tougher :) just a moment | 08:47 |
| awaad | What is the name of a program for ubuntu which is such as front page in windows ? | 08:48 |
| Jordan_U | ZykoticK9: monokrome: brjann: Traditionally only users in the "wheel" group could use su, admin is the same concept for sudo. | 08:48 |
| monokrome | Jordan_U: Do you know if the admin group would allow apache running as "www-data" to run processes as other users? | 08:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | !html > awaad | 08:48 |
| ubottu | awaad, please see my private message | 08:48 |

| anyone | I LOVE UBUNTU ^_^ | 08:50 |
| brjann | WinterSky: hm. i can't think of a way to do this in just a few lines, which would mean i'd hesitate to let someone else run it on data they care about :( sorry | 08:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | awaad: http://www.linuxalt.com/ | 08:50 |
| theadmin | anyone: Thanks! That's always awesome to hear, however it's a bit offtopic | 08:50 |
| Jordan_U | monokrome: Flannel was probably correct about "wheel" being the correct group as I expect apache uses su to run processes as another user. | 08:50 |
| WinterSky | brjann No problem. :) | 08:50 |
| fvr | lifa | 08:50 |
| awaad | ZykoticK9, theadmin : Which one of these is the best KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem | 08:50 |
| monokrome | Jordan_U: So, admin will work in Ubuntu? My only other options is running it as root :/ | 08:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | awaad, i wouldn't know - don't do web development | 08:51 |
| theadmin | awaad: I tried Kompozer, it is nice, never tried Amaya nor Iceape | 08:51 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | theadmin: Thank you for reminding him that we are not allowed to like Ubuntu. Good job. | 08:51 |

| theadmin | Say, it seems to me that the wallpaper is a separate app, it sometimes takes a while to load. What is it called? | 08:52 |
| abhi_nav_ | malifal: college purpose. study purpose. draw cirlce/arc etc using dda algorighm etc. line/polygon clipping etc 2d,3d transformation etc i used turbo c in win | 08:53 |
| malifal | abhi_nav_: and it has to be on linux? | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | hmm, info su has a very interesting paragraph about the wheel group. I'm not sure I agree with RMS on this one. | 08:56 |
| malifal | abhi_nav_: look for the books linux 3d graphics programming, it explains X and opengl rendering | 08:56 |
| abhi_nav_ | malifal: no. i told you that when in pas i used windows i used turbo c. but now i use only ubuntu. so question is how to graphics program in c c++ in linux | 08:56 |
| abhi_nav_ | malifal: i have to buy them? | 08:57 |
| Jordan_U | abhi_nav_: Look into gtk or qt for 2D and OpenGL for 3D | 08:57 |

| corey | can anyone help me with this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1385453 | 09:30 |
| Jordan_U | monokrome: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/suexec.html There may be other considerations beyond those in that documentation but you should probably have read that before going further. | 09:30 |
| fohos | which is the user comfiguration file for bash shell? | 09:30 |
| brjann | monokrome: a brief read-through of the mod_wsgi docs indicates that it has two modes of operation: the default 'embedded' mode, and the 'daemon' mode, which sounds like it might do what you want | 09:31 |
| === corey is now known as HangukMiguk | ||
| brjann | monokrome: quoting: Daemon processes may if required also be run as a distinct user ensuring that WSGI applications cannot interfere with each other or access information they shouldn't be able to. | 09:31 |
| malifal | testpage: i don't know what you're getting at, but look for webmin for a good all 'round administration application | 09:31 |
| Jordan_U | monokrome: And defer to someone with actual experience with this over my advice :) | 09:31 |
| monokrome | brjann: I already run it in daemon mode | 09:32 |
| Myrtti | !webmin | malifal, testpage | 09:32 |
| ubottu | malifal, testpage: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 09:32 |
| monokrome | Jordan_U: suexec doesn't help, and I already know how to keep this perfectly secure | 09:32 |
| monokrome | brjann: I think I know what I need to do, so don't worry about it. Thanks though. | 09:33 |
| malifal | Myrtti: sorry but ebox is crap | 09:33 |
| theadmin | What on earth are those? | 09:33 |
| malifal | Myrtti: i use webmin without a hitch | 09:34 |
| Jordan_U | monokrome: Sorry, ignore me then. | 09:34 |
| Myrtti | malifal: Ubuntu and Debian people seem to think webmin is even more so. *shrug* | 09:34 |
| brjann | monokrome: no problem, sorry I couldn't help more | 09:34 |
| Aciid | webmin is bloater than my mom | 09:34 |
| monokrome | Jordan_U: Sorry, Jordan_U. I'm not meaning to ignore you. I was just asking about the www-data issue earlier, not how to keep the application secure. | 09:34 |

| ubottu | 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. :-) | 10:29 |
| brjann | monokrome: i believe you can do it through System > Administration > Users and Groups. failing that, usermod -u <new uid> <username>. in either case, you'll have to fix ownership of any files outside their home directory | 10:29 |
| vonderer | when I'm using MPD to play music, nothing else can access ALSA, is there any way besides using PulseAudio to fix it? | 10:29 |
| brjann | monokrome: but it should automatically update ownership of files contained in their home directory. | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | craig: you could post on the page where the installer comes from to see if folks reply: http://tih.dynalias.net/python/scalix_installer not something i've ever used personally but maybe others have | 10:30 |

| TurekPolski | And what is funny... I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed. Then I got rid of it (I have Intel 915 Graphics so it sucks) | 10:32 |
| === mks1 is now known as SchneeSchwarz | ||
| TurekPolski | Then I had 8.10 installed | 10:32 |
| TurekPolski | And after I got rid of it too once (I don't renember why I did that) | 10:32 |
| TurekPolski | I couldn't install it any time again | 10:33 |
| TurekPolski | It did the whole instalation process, yet the GRUB didn't load | 10:33 |

| TurekPolski | I know | 10:35 |
| TurekPolski | but you don't understand | 10:35 |
| TurekPolski | The installer should enable me to format/change partitions | 10:35 |
| TurekPolski | but it doesn't see the HDD AT ALL | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | TurekPolski: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? Did you verify the CD once initially booted to? | 10:35 |
| meowbuntu | TurekPolski, what installer | 10:35 |
| TurekPolski | MD5 verified | 10:35 |

| TurekPolski | Nope. I'm now in XP :-( | 10:36 |

| TurekPolski | yep | 10:36 |
| TurekPolski | the CD is fine | 10:36 |
| TurekPolski | I've chcecked it a couple of times | 10:36 |
| ActionParsnip | TurekPolski: you can update the live system if you have enough ram (more than 1Gb is enough) and may help the installer | 10:36 |

| TurekPolski | ? | 10:39 |
| ActionParsnip | TurekPolski: try some boot options using the factoid ubottu gave | 10:39 |
| veggteppe | TurekPolski: Try a alternative cd. Maybe that finds the hdd. | 10:39 |
| TurekPolski | @veggteppe: nope | 10:39 |

| ActionParsnip | !webmin | malifal | 10:46 |
| ubottu | malifal: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 10:46 |

| henux | how to find out to which pkg some file belongs to? | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | henux: use apt-file it'll take a while but you willfind it | 10:47 |

| catphish | has the openvz kernel been dropped from 9.10? | 10:48 |
| ardchoille | ActionParsnip: that is a lot of work when "dpkg -S file" works fine | 10:48 |
| ardchoille | just my opinion | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ardchoille: strange how it does what apt-file does, but fast.... | 10:49 |
| ardchoille | yeah | 10:49 |
| ardchoille | ActionParsnip: I bet apt-file simply calls a "dpkg -S file" :) | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | ardchoille: but the upgrade bit finds all files from all available repos, i guess its like updating the locate db | 10:50 |

| obscurant1st | ActionParsnip, it is 32 bit, is there anyway i can change mine to 64 bit withouht re installing the whole os? | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mengu: mplayer is the daddy :) | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: no, you must reinstall the 64bit OS | 11:06 |
| mengu | ActionParsnip: but others still cannot play those mp3s :P | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | mengu: theres a bug I gave, otherwise not sure | 11:07 |
| obscurant1st | ActionParsnip, oh, i see. So installing the 64 bit kernel wont work, thanks gor i asked here, i was about to do something stupid. | 11:07 |
| obscurant1st | haha | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: how much ram do you have? | 11:08 |
| obscurant1st | ActionParsnip, 2 GB, Why? | 11:08 |
| TxPitou | mengu: once you get the restricted and the gstreamers, you whould be able to play them mp3's on any app, what I did.. butg or not, then again I am using 9.10 | 11:08 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: then 32bit is fine, it can reference your ram without issue, if you had >3Gb ram then you'd need 64bit (or PAE kernel) | 11:08 |
| obscurant1st | ActionParsnip, no i thought 64bit OS could speed up my system a lil bit. :O | 11:09 |
| TxPitou | obscurant1st: right now, with 2gb of ram you would see no different in opetations, and only issues in drivers (trust me).. keep 32 for now | 11:09 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: only if you do a lot of data transforms (like audio encoding etc) | 11:09 |

| TxPitou | nyaa: tries nice --help ? | 11:11 |
| nyaa | thanks | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nyaa: nice values give priority, 20 is hardly any cpu attention, -20 is full cpu (don't use this as it makes the OS itself starve of cpu) | 11:11 |
| obscurant1st | actually i hv installed this cairo dock, when i use lots of application, the effects of this dock is slowing down, thats why i considered 64 bit | 11:11 |
| ruien | nyaa: unless i am mistaken, i am pretty sure the -n is the standard input parameter for nice. I.E. nice -n 5 would make your process nicer (and -8 would make it less nice). I don't think i have ever used nice *without* -n | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nyaa: if you set a lower nice value the app will get more cpu priority and run better, the default nice value is 0 | 11:11 |

| naxa | hi! I have a general terminology question. Does "path" (of a file), by meaning, include the filename itself, or just the way "towards" it? eg. the "path" of /etc/hosts is "/etc/" or "/etc/hosts"? | 11:17 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: your router will have 2 IPs, the internal and the external. If you are outside the LAN you will connect to the external and the port forwarding will happen | 11:17 |
| TxPitou | naxa: path is /etc/ | 11:18 |
| ardchoille | naxa: path = /path/file | 11:18 |
| Raydiation | ActionParsnip: hm how do i do it exactly with nmap? | 11:18 |
| TxPitou | naxa: path is /etc/nameoffile (damn keyboard!) | 11:18 |
| naxa | TxPitou: I see! great, thanks. How do you call "/path/file", has it a name? like "full path" or something... | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: i suggest you set the system to a static IP too so that when its dhcp lease expires it does not get a different IP and make the port forward fail | 11:18 |
| malifal | ruien: make sure that the nat'ing is correct and the port for ssh is not blocked by the firewall | 11:18 |
| ruien | ActionParsnip: that's not what I mean. I mean, for example, www.whatismyip.org shows 200.x.x.x, and the router's own external IP address is 125.x.x.x. Its internal address is 192.x.x.x | 11:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Raydiation: http://nmap.org/book/man-host-discovery.html | 11:19 |
| ardchoille | naxa: "full path" and "path" are the same thing | 11:19 |
| naxa | ardchoille: I see. so path is "/etc/" only... is there a name for "/path/filename"? | 11:19 |
| ardchoille | naxa: no, path is /etc/filename | 11:20 |
| TxPitou | naxa: nope, same thing, sorry I cause a confusion with my 'not awake and need more coffee' issue | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: i have you as 202.108.18.198 | 11:20 |
| ardchoille | naxa: just "/etc" alone is a parent directory | 11:20 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: try www.ipchicken.com | 11:20 |
| naxa | oh ok. :D so path is "/path/filename" and not just "path" | 11:20 |

| MyServices | http://www.MyTrafficToday.com -> Get traffic to your website or make money ! SURF FOR MONEY RIGHT NOW | 11:21 |
| naxa | i mean "/path/" | 11:21 |
| TxPitou | naxa: right | 11:21 |
| FloodBot2 | MyServices: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:21 |
| malifal | ruien: also if you are inside the LAN you might not be able to connect back to your LAN using the public IP | 11:21 |
| naxa | TxPitou: no problem about coffee | 11:21 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: are you using a proxy of some sort? | 11:21 |
| ardchoille | Thank you jrib | 11:21 |
| TxPitou | ruien: and on DSL, chances are, the ISP is Nat filtering your Ip address anyways and setting up a server will always fail. | 11:21 |
| ruien | ActionParsnip: my router's IP address is *really* 118.198.214.191, and I am testing from an external server. I am not using any proxy on purpose, but I am suspecting my ISP seems to have one (?) is that possible (?) | 11:22 |
| TxPitou | Morning jrib | 11:22 |
| naxa | TxPitou, ardchoille: now I want to say "path or filename or infix_of_filename". is it enough to say "path or infix_of_filename" or I should add filename to the list? | 11:22 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: possible, i'd call them, strange about the ip mix though. You could get a name at www.no-ip.com to resolve the real IP to your own registered name | 11:23 |
| ruien | TxPitou: that seems to be the case.. but i just don't understand why setting up a server and then aiming directly at my router's IP address isn't working. Ubuntu gets the request, but the packets are corrupted. | 11:23 |
| naxa | TxPitou, ardchoille : i mean i want to name a variable to be human readable and I'm not affraid of using mile_long_variable_names | 11:23 |
| TxPitou | CHUCKLES, I recall when I tried to set a server on "satellite internet" , isp uses 2 nats... bleh... | 11:23 |
| ardchoille | naxa: you lost me at "now I want" | 11:24 |
| naxa | ardchoille: sorry I only tried to describe the situation | 11:24 |
| Oli`` | ruien: it's totally possible they're using a transparent proxy (one that doesn't tell servers where it's forwarding the content on to). In that case whatsmyip wouldn't be able to tell your real IP. I've got to say though, it's pretty rare because it does have the tendency to confuse and annoy users | 11:24 |
| naxa | ardchoille: it's not that I want anything from anybody... :D | 11:24 |
| ruien | well, i'm in China. That might matter (?) | 11:24 |
| TxPitou | ruien: your ISP Ip is one thing, your inetrnal Ip is another, when you request the query to your serve as a PUBLIC Ip, it goes out to ISp Nat blocks the request and your left dead in the water necause teh ISp doesnt want you running a pubic server on their lines because of traffic | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: i'm not getting connection on either IP unless you are using different port | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: or your port forwarding is bad | 11:25 |
| Oli`` | ruien: Ah. Yes. Blimey... They could be proxying your traffic several times over to make sure you're not looking at something "illegal" | 11:25 |
| ruien | ActionParsnip: i have forwarded 2222 to ubuntu_server:22 | 11:25 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: let me test | 11:25 |
| marvelousbob | Hi, i've got a hp 8550 networked printer in the office, using the hplip drivers; If I use the lpr command to print from the command line the printer works fine, if I print from inside almost any other program through a gui I get a critical error that requires a power cycle. | 11:26 |
| naxa | ardchoille: I tried to mean "when I'm trying to give a variable a descriptful name, does 'path_or_filename_or_InfixOfFilename' equal in meaning with 'path_or_InfixOfFilename' or they have different meaning" :) | 11:26 |
| TxPitou | naxa: sorry cannot help, dont program myself | 11:26 |
| marvelousbob | Does anyone have any experience dealing with this kind of odd error? | 11:26 |
| malifal | ruien: check with canyouseeme.org to see if it says the port is open | 11:26 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: and what is the error message ? | 11:27 |
| ruien | ok | 11:27 |
| naxa | TxPitou: OK thanks for the previous help! :) | 11:27 |
| fal | to get a luks partition mounted at boot, is there anything more to do than: http://dpaste.com/170355/ ? | 11:27 |
| obscurant1st | actually my panel used to display the sound icon, wicd sytem tray blutooth icon etc, but these are not there, the rest is there, how can i brong them back | 11:27 |
| obscurant1st | :o | 11:27 |
| nyaa | out of curiosity where can I find additional commands like nice that I can use to tweak apps so I can give games better fps than windows? | 11:27 |
| naxa | TxPitou: however I am only trying to ask if the two thing has the same meaning or not | 11:27 |

| petsounds-eee | hi all. after using computer janitor i'm no longer able to boot my pc again. kernel error or sth. do i need to reinstall? | 11:27 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, 49.81 (something) CYCLE POWER | 11:27 |
| TxPitou | naxa: unknown again I know nothing about programing/scripting | 11:27 |
| naxa | TxPitou: I mean if the have the same meaning outside programming, than it's ok :) | 11:27 |
| naxa | TxPitou: but never mind | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: no luck on :2222 man | 11:28 |
| ruien | malifal: canyouseeme.org can't see me, because they're automatically detecting my IP address and not using my router's IP addres. If I use "nmap" to scan my IP address from an external server, however, the SSH port *is* open. | 11:28 |
| naxa | TxPitou: just chatting :) | 11:28 |
| aperson | When I disable my proxy settings via gnome-network-properties, it does not unset $http_proxy . How can I go about fixing this? I've exported it, but that only works in my current terminal | 11:28 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, more precisely 49.481e ERROR CYCLE POWER | 11:28 |
| Oli`` | ruien: I can connect on port 2222 but nothing happens when I'm connected | 11:28 |
| ruien | ActionParsnip: alright then; thanks looking at it though. | 11:28 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: you tried using cups ? | 11:28 |
| ruien | Oli``: right, *exactly*!! | 11:29 |
| ruien | you can connect (you don't get a connection refused). And my ubuntu server GETS the request (i get an error in /etc/ssh/auth.log), but the packets are corrupted | 11:29 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, using cups? I know that's the printing daemon for unix - I figured I was using it | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | ruien: np man, i'd contact your provider and/or try the no-ip / dydns thing | 11:29 |
| Oli`` | ruien: you're sure you're forwarding correctly? | 11:29 |
| malifal | ruien: also try running ssh on port 80 or 443 because the ports might be blocked on the other side, i.e especially if you're connecting from work | 11:30 |
| naxa | so, does the phrase "(please tell me the) path or filename" has the same meaning as the phrase "(please tell me the)path"? :) | 11:30 |
| TxPitou | obscurant1st: goto application /any menu / program you want to see in toolbar, rigth click, add this to launcher panel | 11:30 |
| switchgirl | i have a d-link DIR-615 and a buffalo ghr-6125 and wish to use them to set up a wireless bridge, is this possible? | 11:30 |
| naxa | he-he | 11:30 |
| ruien | Oli``: positive. and I tried two different routers, and on many ports.. even with telnet + netcat -l | 11:30 |
| Oli`` | ruien: I don't think no-ip/dyndns is going to help at all. Your address is fine and that's all they deal with. | 11:30 |
| obscurant1st | yeah i saw it, actually now it is displaying as a different tray like this http://tinypic.com/r/25p6z2e/5 see the top left side | 11:31 |
| TxPitou | naxa: tell me path or filename is 2 things, /this-is-the-path/so-is-this/filename get it ? | 11:31 |
| Oli`` | ruien: have you tried a higher port like 39713 (just a random example) | 11:31 |
| obscurant1st | TxPitou, see the picture pls | 11:31 |
| ruien | Oli``: not that high, but i did try 8080 | 11:31 |

| Mkools | Hello, My update manger shows some updates which it says that they are not safe to download may cause problems after installing what's the problem? | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | aperson: nice :) | 11:32 |
| aperson | Mkools, you don't have the keys for those repositories | 11:32 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: in a firefox or browser of your choice : http://localhost:631 , can you look at your printer configurations from this screen ? | 11:32 |
| naxa | TxPitou: I think I'll be okay. thank you! :) i was wondernig if the term "path" includes both e.g. /path/filename and filename (meaning ./filename) | 11:32 |
| Oli`` | ruien: try a bit higher then and let me know the port... Some ISPs do block incoming connections on lower known service ports to stop people hosting things | 11:32 |
| obscurant1st | Mkools, i am also having that problem, not sure if its problem though | 11:32 |
| Mkools | aperson: how to get those | 11:32 |
| Mkools | keys | 11:32 |
| ruien | Oli``: if you have a minute, try this: telnet 118.198.214.191 8080 I just ran " netcat -l -p 8080 " | 11:33 |
| aperson | Mkools, first, you need to determine which repositories you donn't have the keys for. Can you open up a terminal and do a 'sudo apt-get update' ? | 11:33 |
| gnaruag | as broadcom made B43 wireless drivers open source , Is there any way to check if that drivers are working , Right now I am not having any wifi connection over here , more over the Wifi LED is not lit so please suggest me what I can do now | 11:33 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, I see the configuration screens etc but no printer in there | 11:33 |
| Mkools | wait for minute | 11:33 |
| aperson | Mkools, also, have you added any repositories? | 11:33 |
| ruien | Oli``: i got your "HELO", but then you got disconnected, right? | 11:33 |
| obscurant1st | some pls take a look at this pic, and tell me how to fix that? http://tinypic.com/r/25p6z2e/5 see the top left | 11:33 |
| Mkools | Yeah I added one of launchpad | 11:34 |
| Oli`` | ruien: I disconnected but yes, I wrote HELO | 11:34 |
| TxPitou | obscurant1st: you move the "speaker and other icons block" move it back to your toolbar | 11:34 |
| obscurant1st | i cant even moov that from there | 11:34 |
| naxa | TxPitou: I should go now. thank you again, sorry for the numerous dumb questions. :) | 11:34 |
| naxa | bye | 11:34 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, I'm adding a printer through that screen - should it appear as normal in the printers app? | 11:34 |
| obscurant1st | TxPitou, actually i am not ale to move it from there | 11:34 |
| ruien | Oli``: right, any incoming connection gets disconnected after the first line, so SSH never has a chance; it gets owned right away | 11:34 |
| ruien | Oli``: i really think it's my ISP | 11:34 |
| Oli`` | yes it could be | 11:35 |
| jkprg | Hi. How to precisely limit outgoing bandwidth per dest. IP? | 11:35 |
| morpheuss | Hello guys | 11:35 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: http://www.cups.org/ is your friend, its easy to use and should help you figure what the printer is doing once you have it configured | 11:35 |
| aperson | Mkools, please direct your replies if you can, it makes it easier to help you | 11:35 |
| Mkools | Aperson: what do you mean by that | 11:35 |
| jkprg | It looks to me it's not possible in Linux, is it? | 11:36 |
| aperson | Mkools, you just did what I asked :) | 11:36 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: and yes once you have it configured the gui apps shoudl "display the printer" as available | 11:36 |
| Oli`` | ruien: if you have (or get) another server you *could* ssh to it from your box there, tunnelling a port back to your computer (over the SSH connection) and then connect through the external machine... It's a bit of a faff but it wouldn't be too expensive to hire a shell on another machine | 11:36 |
| Mkools | Actually I have added repository of launchpad | 11:36 |
| telmich | jkprg: have a look at traffic control (tc), which makes exactly that possible | 11:36 |
| morpheuss | im using this tutorial to encrypt my hdd http://main.uab.edu/Sites/it/faqs/63837/ | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | guys, is this ok to remove: http://pastebin.com/RX9vRFg3 263MB for some docs I never read seems quite massive. Just after verification | 11:37 |
| morpheuss | but i want to manually encrypt /home partition | 11:37 |
| aperson | !who > Mkools | 11:37 |
| ubottu | Mkools, please see my private message | 11:37 |
| Oli`` | ruien: it's actually how I connect to my home server. Rather than having incoming connections here, I use my webserver to proxy any connections | 11:37 |
| jkprg | telmich: I did but but no luck for per IP classification. | 11:37 |
| TxPitou | ActionParsnip: yoou have the ubuntu guide in ALL languages.. hehe | 11:37 |
| aperson | Mkools, what repository did you add, and how did you add it | 11:37 |
| obscurant1st | TxPitou, is there any wat i can move it back, actually when i try to drag it its not happening, i tried it, and when i try it either of the window will pop up, like sound, bluetooth, etc | 11:37 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, thanks but that's made no difference - do you know if there's a way of getting a list of options applied from the gui print dialogs? As I said earlier, printing using lpr from the cli works fine - it's only gui apps that kill it. | 11:37 |
| ruien | Oli``: Reverse tunnel? That's how I do it right now........ :( | 11:38 |
| ActionParsnip | TxPitou: so can i ditch this stuff? | 11:38 |
| obscurant1st | i cant find an empty space to click and drag it | 11:38 |
| obscurant1st | :( | 11:38 |
| ruien | Oli``: you mean ssh -N -R2222:localhost:22 localhost, right? | 11:38 |
| jkprg | I cannot make 2^32 TC classes | 11:38 |
| Mkools | I followed instructions on: https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa | 11:38 |
| Oli`` | ruien: something like that, yeah | 11:38 |
| Mkools | I mean to say that of gie | 11:38 |
| telmich | jkprg: you can match it with some rules. have a look at the linux advanced routing howto (lartc) | 11:38 |
| Mkools | sorry git | 11:39 |
| morpheuss | im using this tutorial to encrypt my hdd http://main.uab.edu/Sites/it/faqs/63837/ | 11:39 |
| morpheuss | im using this tutorial to encrypt my hdd http://main.uab.edu/Sites/it/faqs/63837/ | 11:39 |
| morpheuss | but i want to manually encrypt /home partition | 11:39 |
| TxPitou | marvelousbob: gui uses whats configured, if your using cups then look in those web pages, maybe they do, but I never seen it | 11:39 |
| jkprg | telmich: yeah but for internet pool? It's impossible :-( That's my problem | 11:39 |
| ruien | Oli``: yep, that's what I'm doing to my webserver. I thought the problem was my crappy router, so I used that as a workaround. Then, i bought a new router. Same problem. Thx though :)! | 11:40 |
| telmich | jkprg: it's all in that manual. | 11:40 |
| aperson | Mkools, there a few ways you could have done it according to that page, how did *you* do it? and please, direct your reply to me | 11:40 |
| marvelousbob | TxPitou, thanks for taking the time to help me :), i'm digging through the cups documentation | 11:40 |
| Mkools | By using command line | 11:40 |
| aperson | Mkools, that's not specific enough | 11:40 |
| TxPitou | ActionParsnip: that decision is all your my friend, I have 1 TB of space so I dont pay much attention to "space issues" | 11:40 |
| Mkools | Wait for minute | 11:40 |
| jkprg | telmich: for up to tens of IPs (or groups) it's not problem but for every Internet IP it is. | 11:41 |
| Oli`` | TxPitou: Only 1TB? Pfft | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | TxPitou: i have about 200Gb but i just like to get the install as small as possible, its fun | 11:41 |
| telmich | jkprg: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html | 11:41 |
| jkprg | telmich: I really start to believe it's not possible :-( | 11:41 |
| TxPitou | Oli``: on a laptop to play with, my data drive is USB 1TB :) I leave nothing of relevance on laptop | 11:41 |
| obscurant1st | Mkools, by direct the reply means just add the name of the person who you are talking to at the begining of every sentance you type in here! | 11:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Oli``: all my storage combined doesnt come to 1Tb ;) | 11:41 |
| ruien | BTW, I'm not sure if anyone could use it, but i wrote a short guide to SSH tunnels, in very understandable terms. Anyone interested? | 11:42 |
| Mkools | aperson: By using instructions which heads: Adding the PPA to Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) and later | 11:42 |

| Grey_Loki | ActionParsnip: I was able to install one through the software center, however I was playing around with trying to get a few 3D apps to work within wine, thought it might be related to my driver version/installation method | 11:50 |
| Grey_Loki | I'll envyng --uninstall-all and go back to the software center one, that worked straight off the bat. | 11:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Grey_Loki: did you check the appdb? | 11:50 |

| Mkools | aperson: some related to mp3 players | 12:01 |
| aperson | theadmin, it's more likely it's ubuntu's packages for kde | 12:02 |

| TxPitou | obscurant1st: use your Iphone and send them a text picture.. | 12:13 |
| airtonix | crackguy, you need to install it from a ppa repo | 12:13 |

| Dr_Willis | Brodz9871: double check versions and the notes. | 12:31 |
| Dr_Willis | it may be 'gold' with some tweaks | 12:31 |

| sugoruyo | I have an array that was set up by a stupid NAS device which failed, and now i really need to get to my data, so i run Disk Utility | 12:38 |
| sugoruyo | and it sees one of the disks as autodetected RAID component | 12:39 |
| Kartagis | is there a problem with MSN with pidgin? I get Connection error from notification server | 12:39 |

| jiehanzheng | Hello, how to disable the Ubuntu automount func.? I want to make a removable disk automount in my VirtualBox VM. Thanks!! | 12:41 |
| Boondoklife | TxPitou: "ps -Al | grep compiz" would that not do what you want? | 12:42 |
| aperson | that or pgrep compiz | 12:42 |
| TxPitou | Boondoklife: yeah it give me nothing... | 12:42 |
| crackguy | by "apt-get remove" will the system remove all the extras downloaded and installed with the package? | 12:42 |
| Boondoklife | TxPitou: sounds like it isn't running. | 12:43 |
| TxPitou | Boondoklife: but I have it installed and I did have the wobbly /3d cube window but now seems to have stopped.. grrr | 12:43 |

| aperson | jiohdi, do you want to disable it completely? | 12:44 |
| Boondoklife | TxPitou: yea for some reason compiz must have died. just issue that command or reboot =P | 12:44 |
| jiohdi | aperson: yes | 12:44 |
| aperson | jiohdi, go to system>preferences>autostarted applications | 12:45 |
| aperson | jiohdi, err, startup applications | 12:45 |
| TxPitou | Boondoklife: thanks | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | I just set the screensver to off i think.. then theres teh powersaving settings also to change | 12:46 |
| jiohdi | aperson: the screensaver is already unchecked.... is the powersaver the one to uncheck? | 12:46 |
| aperson | Dr_Willis, gnome-screensaver doesn't handle power stuff | 12:46 |
| jiohdi | or powermanagement | 12:46 |
| tomcheng76 | Hi, can i copy word when i am inside urxvt ?? | 12:46 |
| Dr_Willis | aperson: no.. thats the job of the power saver stuff | 12:46 |
| aperson | jiohdi, no, did you restart yet? | 12:47 |
| === pts is now known as pths | ||
| Dr_Willis | tomcheng76: select, middle click - perhaps. | 12:47 |
| tomcheng76 | Dr_Willis: exactly, but it is not inside clipboard | 12:47 |
| jiohdi | aperson: no, I am on the system in question... but its perhaps powersaver related, as the screen just goes blank | 12:47 |
| aperson | jiohdi, I have mine disabled just by unchecking the screensaver from startup | 12:47 |
| jiohdi | aperson: the screensaver was already unchecked | 12:48 |
| aperson | jiohdi, yeah, that would blank your screen yet iirc | 12:48 |
| irvine | Hiyas... I just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid last night, but now it won't allow me to log on... I had it set to auto logon before, now when I click my profile and enter password it loads for a sec and goes back to the log on screen... | 12:48 |
| aperson | jiohdi, I know it was, you said that. I'm giving you an example of my situation :P | 12:48 |
| jiohdi | ok, restarting now | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | tomcheng76: the selection buffer is NOT the same as the clipboard. There are tools to sync the 2 | 12:48 |
| aperson | jiohdi, you could just kill gnome-screensaver | 12:49 |

| tomcheng76 | Dr_Willis: thanks. i will try to search the tools. | 12:52 |

| aperson | Dr_Willis, no, I didn't imagine I needed to, since you can set/change the setting without logging out | 12:56 |
| iceroot | obscurant1st: is xsaw tv also using /dev/video0? | 12:56 |
| obscurant1st | iceroot, how can i check it? | 12:57 |

| aperson | Dr_Willis, oh, yes, I have actually | 12:57 |
| Lin | try that | 12:57 |
| iceroot | obscurant1st: dont know the program, check the settings | 12:57 |
| aperson | Dr_Willis, not specifically for that reason, but I have restarted a few times since I tried disabling it via gnome-network-properties | 12:57 |

| obscurant1st | iceroot, let me check! | 12:58 |
| bazhang | irvine, #ubuntu+1 for lucid | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | aperson: other then that - ive no idea. I dont use proxys much. Ive never even noticed the http_proxy variable getting set | 12:58 |
| irvine | cheers :) | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres a reason lucid is still called a 'alpha' :) | 12:59 |
| irvine | i know ;) heheh | 12:59 |
| aperson | Dr_Willis, dang, I knew I managed to unset it once before | 12:59 |

| iceroot | obscurant1st: i huiss that program is not using /dev/video0 | 13:00 |
| aperson | malifal, that would be the afromented gnome-network-properties I said I was using :) | 13:00 |
| malifal | aperson: ok, did you click on apply system wide? | 13:00 |
| aperson | malifal, yessir | 13:01 |
| obscurant1st | iceroot, so how can i check that? can i8 use lsusb in anywaty to see it? | 13:01 |
| obscurant1st | i mean which dev it is using? | 13:01 |
| aperson | s/afformented/aforementioned/ | 13:02 |

| Stargaze | still unable to have sound output, when i play an mp4 video file, restricted area's area's are installed, though | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Stargaze: try vlc and mplayer, run player from terminal. Look for error messages/codec info messages | 13:05 |
| eraggo | Stargaze: vlc works on mp4's :) | 13:05 |
| Stargaze | not here | 13:05 |
| eraggo | duh? o.O | 13:05 |
| TxPitou | Stargaze: really? how odd, it has internal codecs... | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | a mp4 can use different codecs for audio i belive | 13:05 |
| TxPitou | Stargaze: got all teh Gstreamer packages ? | 13:06 |
| aperson | it's just a container, iirc | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | yep all these .mp4 or .divx extensions just cause more annoyances. :) | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | its all about the data and actual codecs used. | 13:06 |
| aperson | sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins? would install all of them | 13:07 |
| Stargaze | installing gstream bluez and gstream esd | 13:08 |
| TxPitou | aperson: dumb question, and probably only a matter of style, is there a difference between aptitute and apt-get ? | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to install the ubuntu-restricted extras and the w32codecs from medibintu, and mplayer and vlc, and can play most anything | 13:08 |
| TxPitou | Stargaze: Bluez ? tahts bluethooth libs | 13:08 |
| Stargaze | not better | 13:08 |
| aperson | TxPitou, aptitude is a package manager, like synaptic | 13:08 |
| malifal | add to that -ugly packages and ffmpeg | 13:08 |
| TxPitou | aperson: ok but synaptic is a gui interface that uses apt-get doesnt it ? | 13:09 |
| aperson | TxPitou, it handles apt for you | 13:10 |
| Stargaze | what gstream packages should i look for? | 13:10 |
| aperson | TxPitou, if you run just aptitude, you'll get a curses interface | 13:10 |
| bdfoster_iPhone | heyoh | 13:10 |

| nyaa | warriorforgod I used to run it before wotlk and it was incredible, but they made it less good with wotlk it seems. I was able to make it better than windows by just a smidge with basic fiddling with its nice level, and also by putting all wine and .exe processis on the mostly unused 4th core | 13:43 |

| Dr_Willis | gamesNvideos: ubuntuUltimate is not supported here.. | 13:57 |
| Dr_Willis | gamesNvideos: its just ubuntu with extra packages installed by default I belive.. not really worth messing with | 13:57 |
| digitalfiz | apelgate, even as far back as feisty it was an idea to stop that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityFeistyIdeas/Usability about halfway down the page is what im talking about. i figured there has to be some switch to enable/disable that feature | 13:57 |
| erUSUL | Dark-Sun: what is pinging? maybe the target has firewall and just drops pings that will result in timeout | 13:57 |
| gamesNvideos | is there a version of ubuntu that is best for gamers trying to save system resources and have needed emulation software at the same time? | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | gamesNvideos: best for 'gamers' is a rather vague term. I would say Not really. | 13:58 |
| digitalfiz | apelgate, i can see it as being a memory saver but its more of an annoyance for me because i open text files with info i have to copy/paste into another screen all day and it sucks having to leave it open till i paste then go back to it and close it just a productivity issue i guess | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | gamesNvideos: if you want to save ram, use a minimal window manager/desktop | 13:58 |
| Sacho | emulation software and saving system resources don't generally go hand in hand | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | gamesNvideos: but even then the memory saved will proberly be minimal. a few 100mb perhaps | 13:59 |

| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: try the latest songbird from the songbird homepage | 14:09 |
| dataHeist | TxPitou: Aren't there testing repositories or something for 9.04 with newer version of packages? | 14:09 |

| theadmin | titanioverde: Have you tried "sudo update-grub"? | 14:21 |
| dataHeist | right now, when i do a dpkg -i, i get dependency warnings, but the package is installed without configuring | 14:21 |
| titanioverde | theadmin: First news. Trying now. | 14:22 |
| dataHeist | maybe dpkg has a switch to stop from installing if dependencies aren't met? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 14:22 |
| dataHeist | man dpkg | 14:22 |
| dataHeist | :) | 14:22 |
| === otaryman is now known as jyooruje | ||
| rfajardo | dataheist, you can force it if you like | 14:22 |
| dabaR | dataHeist: I was just typing that for you | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont recall dpkg installing if deps are not met... | 14:22 |
| rfajardo | dataheist, or you can search for the missing package and install it | 14:22 |
| orson | dataHeist: "sudo aptitude -f install" to resolve dependencies | 14:22 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: it worked, the first tweak | 14:22 |
| dataHeist | don't want to force... just want to view dependencies and grab those... | 14:22 |
| bdfoster_iPhone | u | 14:22 |
| TxPitou | nomnex: 9.10 uses 2.6.31-20-generic | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: isent google handy :) | 14:22 |
| ddavids1 | but do i always have to do tht? | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Dr_Willis: you can run: sudo apt-get -f install and it will try and fx stuff ;) | 14:22 |
| rfajardo | dataHeist, try and say you don't want to install | 14:23 |
| arch0njw | dataHeist: do you have the deb? And yes there is a switch to stop install of dep debs | 14:23 |
| dataHeist | orson: I can't automatically resovle these dependencies.. they aren't in the repository | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: make a script that does the export and runs songbird | 14:23 |
| titanioverde | theadmin: I'm using Mint 8, based on Ubuntu 9.10. It has that grub.cfg file, instead of menu.lst. update-grub asks me to create menu.lst | 14:23 |
| beware | i have a feature request for ubuntu | 14:23 |
| paranoid_pedlar | alacarte saved my configuration, but it doesn't apply to the menu. Do I have to press revert? I don't think that would make sense. Any ideas? | 14:23 |
| dataHeist | But, it's a slippery slope... each dependency has even more dependencies :( | 14:23 |
| Dr_Willis | !brainstorm | 14:23 |
| ubottu | Post your ideas for Ubuntu at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com and vote for the ones you like! | 14:23 |
| theadmin | titanioverde: That's pretty strange, try "update-grub2" instead | 14:23 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, so the way to get songbird working is to intall or update gstreamer-plugins-good ? | 14:23 |
| raven | i need a replacement for CUBASE - any ideas? | 14:23 |
| ActionParsnip | raven: lmms | 14:23 |
| * dataHeist reads dpkg man page | 14:24 | |
| arch0njw | dataHeist: that is so true at times. | 14:24 |
| nomnex | TxPitou, yes, is there any change (mdoules or modules location?) I am looking in the /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic and can't find these modules | 14:24 |
| hystreni | hmm... can any1 give me a link to download mumble 1.2.2 becouse when i press find update on mumble itself i get a link to 1.1.4 | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: seems thers some gstreamer issues with songbird again.. it seems they get fixed.. then break again.. | 14:24 |
| paradoxuncreated | raven: have you tried Energy XT? | 14:24 |
| aperson | titanioverde, edit /etc/default/grub , not anything in /boot | 14:24 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, i mean you just tried latest songbird from their website? and you didnt have gstreamer-plugins-good ? | 14:24 |
| aperson | !grub2 > titanioverde | 14:24 |
| ubottu | titanioverde, please see my private message | 14:24 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: correct.. it had issues. | 14:24 |
| Jehah | Quick Q: How can I know if there is a reported problem with Ubuntu's clock? | 14:24 |
| raven | paradoxuncreated, i do not want a demo.... | 14:25 |
| bdfoster_iPhone | I installed b43legacy drivers by way of b43fwcutter, and when I did the restart it is using a driver called b43-pci-bridge and wireless isn't working | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: https://launchpad.net/~slicer/+archive/ppa | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: had to export LD_BIND_NOW=1, then ran ./songbird | 14:25 |
| rfajardo | you can also try --simulate | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: no idea what LD_BIND_NOW does | 14:25 |
| nomnex | TxPitou, I got it I guess, and yes, the path has changed since 9.04: /2.6.31-19-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.ko | 14:25 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: pls dont loose me, i dont think i follow | 14:25 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: ALT F2? | 14:25 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: follow what? | 14:25 |
| paranoid_pedlar | how do I apply the changes in alacarte? | 14:25 |
| airtonix | !info gstreamer-plugins-good | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:slicer/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:26 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: or shld i do it thru main menu? | 14:26 |
| titanioverde | theadmin: /etc/default/grub? There I go. - Oh, and I've got a separated /boot partition. This won't bring me problems, right? | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: do what exactly? | 14:26 |
| ubottu | Package gstreamer-plugins-good does not exist in karmic | 14:26 |
| theadmin | titanioverde: Should not | 14:26 |
| ddavids1 | can i add it thru the main menu? | 14:26 |
| aperson | paranoid_pedlar, it should be instant you make changes | 14:26 |
| ActionParsnip | paranoid_pedlar: tey apply on the fly as I recall, just click close after sorting your stuff, should be ok | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: add WHAT exactly? You have lost me | 14:26 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: the script pls | 14:26 |
| Dr_Willis | ddavids1: MAKE a script.. or put the export command in your .bashrc or .bash_profile perhaps | 14:27 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: can i paste it in the command thru the main menu? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: is it ok? | 14:27 |
| Jehah | Q: How can I know if there is a reported problem with Ubuntu's clock? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !bug | Jehah | 14:27 |
| ubottu | Jehah: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 14:27 |
| paranoid_pedlar | ActionParsnip, alacarte still shows them, and I rebooted just in case, but the global menu is not showing the edit | 14:27 |
| arch0njw | dataHeist: if you have the DEB file, this command will work: "dpkg --info 'DEB file name here' | grep Depends:" | 14:27 |
| CosmicRay | Does anybody know if LTS has been discontinued? the download link, as well as any info about it, seems to have been scrubbed from the website | 14:27 |
| ddavids1 | Dr_Willis: sorry but i dont knw how? | 14:27 |
| hanc | would someone mind helping me i have several questions about running ubuntu on a hp dv6-2190us, i can get 9.04 to run in virtual box, but on a full install it wont recognize the wireless card | 14:27 |

| ActionParsnip | paranoid_pedlar: lxde baby :) | 14:28 |
| arch0njw | CosmicRay: the next release will be an LTS. The current LTS is 8.04. | 14:28 |

| dataHeist | arch0njw: thanks ;) I'm chatting with the weechat folks about compiling the latest from scratch :) | 14:28 |
| theadmin | ddavids1: Then, put that file in the Songbird folder, and run it instead of songbird. It should also be executable | 14:28 |
| paranoid_pedlar | ActionParsnip, why? | 14:28 |
| robbit10 | oops | 14:28 |
| dataHeist | orson: thanks to you, as well | 14:28 |
| robbit10 | wrong channel | 14:28 |
| robbit10 | sorry people | 14:28 |
| CosmicRay | arch0njw: but why is the 8.04 LTS gone from the website? | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | paranoid_pedlar: i like its lightning quickness and no nonesense | 14:28 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, i ahve mumble 1.1.8 on ubuntu 9.10 | 14:28 |
| CosmicRay | I still have the ISO I downloaded on Jan. 26, but it's not there now | 14:28 |

| ActionParsnip | hystreni: the repo has 1.2.2 for karmic, did the command i gave not give the new version? | 14:29 |
| paranoid_pedlar | ActionParsnip, no nonsense? does that mean you have to edit configurations by file? | 14:29 |
| Jehah | Thank you ActionParsnip | 14:29 |
| sambagirlx | hey is there a way to update from hardy to the current level? | 14:30 |
| ActionParsnip | paranoid_pedlar: some but there are many guis, i just dont like this who compiz by default, bloat that comes with ubuntu so i use minimal and then install lxde, works great and keeps the system small and punchy | 14:30 |
| arch0njw | CosmicRay: it is there. On the download page, you need to click the text "Alternative download options,..." and "Download 8.04 LTS" is there. | 14:30 |
| === Guest84736 is now known as warriorforgod | ||
| CosmicRay | arch0njw: ah, I see that now. thank you. | 14:31 |
| arch0njw | sambagirlx: I suggest waiting until end-of-April and directly upgrade to 10.04. That will be an LTS-to-LTS upgrade which is typically well supported. | 14:31 |
| trijntje | sambagirlx: no, but you can upgrade from hardy ro the next version | 14:31 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, noob moment, how did you isntall gstreamer-plugins-good ? medibuntu ? | 14:32 |
| paranoid_pedlar | ActionParsnip, I hear that. I don't know why, but back in the day, compiz was snappier on my older laptop, now on my new one it's slower. I don't know why though. | 14:32 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 14:32 |
| ddavids1 | theadmin: i have checked home but there is no .sh file... i only saw a .ssh folder... | 14:32 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, "Följande paket har hållits tillbaka: | 14:32 |
| hystreni | mumble" | 14:32 |
| theadmin | ddavids1: CREATE a text file with extension .sh | 14:32 |

| ActionParsnip | hystreni: sounds like held back, am i right | 14:32 |
| Dr_Willis | airtonix: no idea really :) | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: the file extension is moot in linux | 14:33 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, oh sry... forgot to translate, but yeah | 14:33 |
| airtonix | Dr_Willis, woe is me | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: try the ppa: ppa:bojo42/ppa remove the one you just added | 14:33 |
| sambagirlx | trijntje how would i do that? | 14:33 |
| sambagirlx | without using a cd/dvd? | 14:33 |
| sambagirlx | can i online do it? | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: if the file is executable it will be treated as one, the file extension is not interpretted like it is in windows | 14:34 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, then what? | 14:34 |
| trijntje | sambagirlx: you have to wait untill april till the next version is released | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bojo42/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:34 |
| paranoid_pedlar | Is it just me, or are there to many different package managers for ubuntu. | 14:34 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: True... Hm... Wait, so it means if file is an HTML page and i make it a .jpg, it will be still threated as HTML? %) | 14:34 |
| sambagirlx | ahh | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: it gets held back as the dependancies it needs cannot be met | 14:34 |
| sambagirlx | ok | 14:34 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: sure | 14:35 |
| trijntje | sambagirlx: than you can just run the update without needing a cd | 14:35 |
| * theadmin tries | 14:35 | |
| anteaya | Is there something called a switch or switches with points the compiler at library paths to assist with debugging? | 14:35 |
| orson | theadmin: don't use "./songbird" there, as it will expect songbird in $PWD. use /path/to/songbird or just "songbird" | 14:35 |
| anteaya | s/with/which | 14:35 |
| theadmin | orson: Told him to put it in songbird dir :/ | 14:35 |
| Threetimes | Hi, I can't get a 1440*900 resolution. My card is a GF730 | 14:35 |
| hystreni | ActionParsnip, still 1.1.8... isint there an install file on some site? so i can do it manually? | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its handy for users to see file extensions but the file will still open as nomal | 14:35 |
| anteaya | I can't seem to locate anything using a search | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | hystreni: you could run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install mumble | 14:36 |
| paranoid_pedlar | songbird is overkill for me, since when did listening to music become so complicated? I prefer the old fashioned way of pressing play, then walk away. just walk away. "set it and forget it!" ;) | 14:36 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: I created an HTML page and renamed it to .jpg, it opens in eog instead of firefox | 14:36 |
| Haffe | That was before the digital music collection paradigm. | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | theadmin: in terminal it doesnt matter, its just a file | 14:37 |
| titanioverde | os-prober searches for every OS, except the current one, right? | 14:38 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Ah, yeah, indeed. | 14:38 |
| Threetimes | The card is a GF 7300GS. I use the 185 drivers, when I set it to 1440*900 my monitor says "mode not supported". I also have to choose strange refresh rates, 51Hz and 99Hz | 14:38 |
| aperson | amarok2 is great, and I'ma let you finish, but amarok 1.4.10 is the greatest audio player of all time | 14:38 |

| hystreni | back | 14:38 |
| paranoid_pedlar | lol, I delete my collection often. I'm not a collector I guess. I like the idea of fm . Choose a genre and listen. But then that slows down my connection. Canada sucks for bandwidth. | 14:38 |

| frojnd | I have logitech quick cam 9000 pro. Which is fully supported with uvcvideo module under linux. I'd like to setup broadcasting. So another person in the world can just put in her/his favourite player my IP adress and port and start streaming live video. Problem is that I don't know how to do that under VLC. I can't find any documentation. Is there any other player that can be used as a broadcast program? How can I broadcast videos under Linux? | 14:48 |

| richthegeek | takk | 16:16 |
| shaik | Hi everybody......! | 16:17 |
| obscurant1st | btw can someone pls tell me where is the cache path for apt-get installed softwares? | 16:17 |
| orson | richthegeek: or just: "sudo aptitude purge cups -s" | 16:17 |
| cisko | Thank you,,, My question is I'm running (9.10 can not find,,a sound properties dialog box to play or adjust my sound settings | 16:17 |
| Stargaze | obscurant1st: try sudo apt-cache search | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: ok can you give a pastebin of: sudo apt-get update you need to add a GPG key for some repo you have added | 16:17 |
| kinja-sheep | obscurant1st: /var/cache/apt/archives I think. | 16:17 |
| cisko | I have a live disk that showes it but my installed version does not show it? | 16:17 |
| obscurant1st | Stargaze, kinja-sheep thx | 16:17 |
| gp5st | obscurant1st: did you google it? | 16:17 |
| shaik | can anybody tell what is this "..........k...o.D..yv.{..P....D0.8" i think it looks like hexadecimal value am i right | 16:17 |
| Stargaze | idd kinja-sheep, i misread the question | 16:18 |
| obscurant1st | ActionParsnip, yeah, one sec | 16:18 |
| Pici | shaik: In what context are you seeing that? And no, its not hex. | 16:18 |
| obscurant1st | gp5st, yep and there was nothing for the default apt-get path!! | 16:18 |
| richthegeek | orson: one of the dependencies is "ubuntu-desktop"... I guess I should leave it alone | 16:18 |
| orson | richthegeek:only a meta-package | 16:18 |
| gp5st | obscurant1st: what do you mean default apt-get path? the first result tells you add the keyring | 16:19 |
| Stargaze | shaik: hex is 0123456789ABCDEF | 16:19 |
| richthegeek | orson: there are a bunch of other packages as well, and its not exactly slowing eme down | 16:19 |
| shaik | Hi Pici.... i just want to convert this information "..........k...o.D..yv.{..P....D0.8" to normal text mode... how can i. | 16:19 |
| richthegeek | orson: just occasional updates which are only CUPS (it gets updated *alot*) | 16:19 |
| Pici | shaik: I don't know what that is. Where are you seeing this information? | 16:19 |
| arti_ | what to do,in that 232 giga is my ubuntu to ,if i format that i will lose all me things from there,but gparted dosent show what is inside of mi hdd,i mean partitions that i have | 16:19 |
| gp5st | shaik: that is just random data, most likely binary. where did it come from that's your best hope for decoding it | 16:19 |
| babalu | i created a symbolic link to my program using 'ln -s ~/myprogram /usr/bin/myprogram' but i can't start /usr/bin/myprogram for some reason :/ | 16:20 |
| gp5st | shaik: it's not hexidecimal, hex only has 0-9A-F in it | 16:20 |
| obscurant1st | kinja-sheep, that folder doesnot exist | 16:20 |
| orson | richthegeek: i just checked here, but it's debian not ubuntu, removing cups wouldn't break anything serious | 16:20 |
| richthegeek | My system speakers buzz when I rotate the 3d cube... is this normal? | 16:20 |
| shaik | i got this information through ettercap, then i can edit this information to binary | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | obscurant1st: can you give the pastebin link | 16:21 |
| obscurant1st | Stargaze, that command gives me an error sayin, You must give exactly one pattern | 16:21 |

| gar_onn | I'm about to instal ubuntu but, will I be able to acces my windows from boot? | 17:07 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | philien: no dice? | 17:09 |
| gp5st | Tittu: what issue are you running into exactly | 17:10 |
| Muscovy | Tittu: Are you using multiple physical drives? | 17:10 |
| sometux | Tittu: so what is your problem? | 17:10 |
| b2p1mp | i think he just need guidance with manual partition. | 17:10 |
| malifal | sometux: there is bidi support, but results differ depending on which terminal you're using | 17:10 |
| nhak | where is the init file in ubuntu ? | 17:10 |
| nhak | /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/init.d/rc.local ? | 17:11 |
| orson | nhak: lost with upstart | 17:11 |
| sometux | malifal: gnome terminal | 17:11 |
| Tittu | gp5st: i booted from the cd and couldnt understand the advanced option so selected install on largest available disk space. It selected e drive. I selected 30 gb for ubuntu and the installation was going smoothly and then it gave an error. | 17:11 |
| orson | nhak: /etc/rc.local | 17:11 |
| malifal | sometux: i think it does, but you might need fribidi installed for it to work | 17:11 |
| Tittu | now when i launch windows back my e drive is just 5 gb in size. how do i get back the remaining spacce. I have only 1 hdd | 17:12 |
| sometux | malifal: I will check it | 17:12 |
| gp5st | Tittu: what's the error, and was that 30GB on the same disk as windows? and are the C:, D:, and E: drives different disks or logical partitions | 17:12 |
| malifal | sometux: if you're talking about arabic and joining that's a different matter | 17:12 |
| sometux | malifal: yes exactly | 17:12 |
| gp5st | Tittu: was there data on that E: drive? or was it empty space that was removed | 17:12 |
| Tittu | they are logical partitions. windows is in C: and i want to install ubuntu on D: | 17:12 |
| Tittu | all are NTFS | 17:12 |
| malifal | sometux: i don't remeber how but i did manage to get it to work somehow, sorry it was a long time ago :( | 17:13 |
| Tittu | my hard disk is empty, i just now installed windows | 17:13 |
| nhak | orson, thanks | 17:13 |
| malifal | sometux: also look into pterm and mlterm, i think they support joining | 17:14 |
| sometux | malifal: no problem, I solved the the problem on my P1 slackware, but never tried on ubnuntu | 17:14 |
| Stargaze | Tittu: you can use the LiveCD to install ubuntu on the D: partition, but it will have another name in the partition manager | 17:14 |
| Stargaze | !gparted| Tittu | 17:14 |
| ubottu | Tittu: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 17:14 |
| Tittu | stargaze: i have downloaded the live cd and was using that | 17:14 |
| gp5st | Tittu: ok, so, my best advice would be to boot onto the live cd, then use gparted system >administration iirc and use that to resize each partition that you want to the right size | 17:14 |
| pullmandave | On my system running 9.10 the hostap drivers are broken. When I load the hostap_pci module for my Prism 2.5 card the system freezes with a CPU Hung message. Anyone else see this? | 17:15 |
| Stargaze | Tittu: just click the 'install' icon on the desktop | 17:15 |
| sometux | malifal: there was a tool called bicon, which runs as daemon | 17:15 |
| gp5st | Tittu: then once they are all the right size, you can format the one you want as ext4 and then start the installation. then select that partition to install to | 17:15 |
| malifal | sometux: yeah, but i remember getting it to work without anything from arabeyes | 17:16 |
| gp5st | Stargaze: he did that but didn't do the advanced options and it resized stuff for him | 17:16 |

| Hillshum | How do I get Synaptic to not install recommended packages? | 17:16 |
| blakkheim | Hillshum: use aptitude -R instead of synaptic | 17:16 |
| Tittu | yeah! i remember, it was ext4, the remaining 30GB where ubuntu was getting installed and it said that the CD might be curropt or Hard Disk error or system might be heated | 17:16 |
| malifal | sometux: actually i was on fedora or debian at that time | 17:17 |
| malifal | sometux: most likely fedora | 17:17 |
| malifal | sometux: but it should work exactly the same on ubuntu, it's not distro specific | 17:17 |
| gp5st | Tittu: what said the cd was corrupt? | 17:18 |
| Hillshum | blakkheim: That's seems to still be installing some | 17:18 |
| Tittu | yes, it said that but it isnt like that | 17:18 |
| sometux | malifal: I will try | 17:18 |
| woRg | hi, I've a problem with intel i810 on lucid, X isn't loading nor gdm | 17:18 |
| Tittu | i downloaded the CD today and it burned fine into the disk | 17:18 |
| blakkheim | Hillshum: aptitude -R install asdf will only install the deps, no recommended packages | 17:18 |
| kinja-sheep | woRg: #ubuntu+1 | 17:19 |
| Muscovy | woRg: I've had that issue in a VM. Are you trying a physical install? | 17:19 |
| Tittu | stargaze: i visited that link. It's to replace windows. I want both, linux and windows | 17:19 |
| Ganymede | so this is an unlikely question but if i have an SSH session open from A to B. now i can't ssh into A (it's behind NAT) but i have access to B. can i somehow reverse that ssh session from A to B to get a shell and execute commands on A? these are all under the same username and i have sudo access to both machines | 17:19 |
| woRg | yes Muscovy | 17:19 |
| Hillshum | blakkheim: Hmm. Maybe dependent packages were dependent on the recommended packages I'm avoiding? | 17:19 |
| bullgard | My Chatzilla 0.9.86 "suddenly" does not wrap lines at the right-hand side of my screen. How to fix that? | 17:19 |
| gp5st | Tittu: you're in a perfect situation to experiment. try playing with the partition sizes to be what you want, then select that partition to install ubuntu to | 17:20 |
| gp5st | i have to go, ttyl | 17:20 |
| Hillshum | Ganymede: You can forward ports over SSH | 17:20 |
| woRg | thanks kinja-sheep | 17:20 |
| sometux | malifal: also what about flashplayer? | 17:20 |
| Hillshum | Ganymede: And then SSH over that forwarded port | 17:20 |
| sometux | malifal: no joining | 17:20 |
| sometux | malifal: any luck get it work for you? | 17:21 |
| Stargaze | Tittu: you only replace winows if you overwrite it's partation during, so do no overwrite windows if you want dual boot | 17:21 |
| Tittu | gp5st: there is no problem with partition size. It's something else. Ubuntu doesnt install properly. ALso, can i install ubuntu on NTFS partition ? | 17:21 |
| Ganymede | Hillshum, i'm familiar with that...but how would i do that since i can't run commands on A, the computer behind NAT, since i can't reach it. the only connection i have to it is that the ssh session shows up in "who" on B | 17:21 |
| archman | hello | 17:21 |
| Muscovy | Tittu: I really wouldn't use NTFS anywhere other than Windows. | 17:21 |
| Stargaze | Tittu: you have to format the non-windows partition to ext4 instead of NTFS | 17:22 |
| squarepe1 | hello | 17:22 |

| Tittu | stargaze: i read everything on that page. It was what i did, but instead of trying ubuntu, i selected install ubuntu, and on the second last image, where the installation progress bar is displayed, it gave error at some 44% | 17:22 |
| sometux | malifal: visit www.aljazeerasport.net | 17:22 |
| Stargaze | archman: try usb-modeswitch, you find a description in Synaptic | 17:22 |
| Hillshum | Ganymede: You might be able to get though the NAT. Are both SSH servers on port 22? | 17:22 |
| Ganymede | Hillshum, yes | 17:23 |
| Tittu | muscovy: the prob is that then windows wont read the content of ext partition | 17:23 |
| orson | Ganymede: reverse ssh portforwarding, "ssh -R 1234:localhost:22 host.domain.tld" | 17:23 |
| Stargaze | Tittu: that's because windows is old and disabled | 17:23 |
| Ganymede | orson, which ssh server would i run that on? | 17:23 |
| Muscovy | Tittu: There's individual Windows programs that you can find to do it, and Linux can still read Windows perfectly fine. | 17:23 |
| gar_onn | hey if I instal ubunutu , will I always get this?? http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa76/indyank/techbliss/install-ubuntu-windows.jpg | 17:23 |

| Muscovy | Back when I used both, I would move anything I need over while still in Linux. | 17:24 |

| Ganymede | orson, but the whole point is that i'm currently unable to run commands on A because i can't reach it through the NAT | 17:24 |
| Hillshum | Ganymede: Have you tried SSHing into A right now? | 17:24 |
| Stargaze | Take0n: try sudo apt)get autoremove | 17:24 |

| Stargaze | Take0n: try sudo apt-get autoremove | 17:24 |

| Tittu | why did it gave that error at 44% ?? | 17:25 |
| malifal | sometux: try installing the mscore fonts, it might fix it | 17:25 |
| qUaNtiC_ | hi what happens if i upgrade to karmic from intrepid? i mean is it going to automatically configure everything and just leave the all system as it is, or at least re-create it as i did it or it will change "everything" and ill have to restart setting it all over again? thanks | 17:25 |
| Muscovy | TakeOn: I've had that before. I'm pretty sure you have to edit the mnu to remove the file, because Wine doesn't remove those links itself. | 17:25 |
| Stargaze | archman: usb-modeswitch, it is in the repo's and so in Synaptic | 17:25 |
| Ganymede | Hillshum, yes, it gets "no route to host" because the NAT device is set to port forward 22 to a different machine (which is powered down) | 17:25 |
| malifal | sometux: or the kacst fonts | 17:25 |

| ga | No to ja przepraszam, jestem za stary na angielski... | 17:42 |
| archman | LOL | 17:42 |
| omeddragon1 | is that a good game | 17:42 |
| archman | slashme, never checked the site, actually ;D | 17:42 |
| Akkernight | Stargaze, there are Wine fixes, but since winetricks isn't capable of installing anything, I'm out of options | 17:42 |
| slashme | archman, I just read it: it sets up some rules, so you should be set up immediately. | 17:42 |
| archman | slashme, will do now | 17:42 |
| archman | slashme: hahaha it doesn't work, then :D:D:D | 17:43 |
| chili555 | mkey, i'm not sure i understand. do you mean can wireless be coaxed to work on your system? | 17:43 |
| slashme | archman, that's interesting. What hardware are you using? | 17:43 |
| ivano | #ubuntu-it | 17:43 |
| Stargaze | Akkernight, try Cedega or CrossOver | 17:44 |
| mkey | chili i have no wireless card...thankx to a friend???... should i just try to find another card? | 17:44 |
| slashme | archman, that website has some seemingly relevant troubleshooting info. Probably worth reading with interest. | 17:45 |
| archman | slashme, usb 2.0? | 17:45 |
| archman | slashme, playstation portable | 17:45 |
| slashme | archman, hmm, sounds like something 20000 linux geeks will have put their minds to already. | 17:45 |
| chili555 | mkey, certainly. be sure to check the forums for compatability. some work out of the box, some require just a bit of coaxing and some are very difficult | 17:46 |
| slashme | archman, usb 2.0 has been standard for a while now and runs smoothly - that's not the issue. | 17:46 |
| mkey | thankx | 17:46 |
| grendal_prime | anyone know if there is a way to connect multiple vpn connections with the net manager tool? | 17:46 |
| archman | slashme, sometimes, it works after 24 disconnections :D:D:D | 17:46 |
| archman | slashme, sometimes, after reboot | 17:46 |
| glphvgacs | is this required? /dev/sda2: LABEL="bootstrap" TYPE="hfs" | 17:46 |
| archman | slashme, sometimes, never :D | 17:47 |
| grendal_prime | it doesnt look like i can do it with that thing But i know i can do it via the cli tools. | 17:47 |
| mkey | bbak thankx chiili... | 17:47 |
| archman | slashme, sometimes, nonsense...but that's ubuntu :D | 17:47 |
| slashme | archman, tres funny... Have you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PSP | 17:47 |
| GhostFreeman | I have a question about ruby and gems on 9.04 | 17:47 |
| aar | Hi, is there a way of having a bash shell display a time stamp at the prompt by default? | 17:48 |
| archman | slashme: yep | 17:48 |
| archman | slashme: will check again | 17:48 |
| slashme | archman, allrighty. Good luck.... :-( | 17:48 |
| voicesinmyhead | hi noob to ubuntu here | 17:48 |
| Korusef | is there bug in /lib/lsb/init-functions killproc function ? (from lsb-base 4.0-0ubuntu5) | 17:48 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, welcom | 17:48 |
| voicesinmyhead | is hard disk bad sectors a bug?? | 17:48 |
| malifal | aar: check your .bashrc file | 17:48 |
| slashme | s/welcom/welcome/ | 17:48 |
| yotta911 | Hi, folks. How i change the system date and time by terminal? | 17:49 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, that depends. | 17:49 |
| voicesinmyhead | karmic kaola 9.10 | 17:49 |
| orson | aar: change PS1, \t shows time | 17:49 |
| Stargaze | !hi| voicesinmyhead | 17:49 |
| ubottu | voicesinmyhead: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 17:49 |
| voicesinmyhead | i just shifted from windows | 17:49 |
| voicesinmyhead | 2 days ago | 17:49 |
| Stargaze | !ask| voicesinmyhead | 17:49 |
| ubottu | voicesinmyhead: 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. :-) | 17:49 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, how do these bad sectors manifest themselves? | 17:50 |
| archman | slashme, thanks for helping out =) | 17:50 |
| Korusef | according to the specification, killproc is supposed to return 0 if not used with specific signal and the process not running, if I read the script correctly it does the opposite | 17:50 |
| voicesinmyhead | on installing ubuntu 9.10 it said hard disk is failing... checked forums... it said it is a bug | 17:50 |
| arti | hi again,finaly i have solved my problem | 17:50 |
| slashme | archman, np! | 17:50 |
| archman | slashme, i'll just keep on rebooting or turning the usb mode on and off :D:D:D | 17:50 |
| slashme | archman, t3h lol (this cheese is burning me). | 17:50 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, more info? | 17:50 |
| archman | :D | 17:50 |
| lifestream | Does anyone have one of those DDR dancing pad (PS1 and 2) to *PC* adapter thingies? What are they called? | 17:51 |
| chuy_max | suppose I use dd to copy an entire HDD into another HDD, is it possible to 'verify' both hard disks have the same info using diff?, or do you recommend another app? | 17:51 |
| glphvgacs | is this required on PPC970 mac? /dev/sda2: LABEL="bootstrap" TYPE="hfs" | 17:51 |
| glphvgacs | http://pastebin.com/irXXV8S3 | 17:51 |
| slashme | chuy_max, wrong question. | 17:51 |
| slashme | chuy_max, dd actually has error checking built in. | 17:51 |
| igggimin | Is it possible to connect via remote desktop to my Ubuntu box with an SSH tunnel? I have a relatively stable IP here | 17:51 |
| voicesinmyhead | the ubuntu forums said it was a bug ... but dont know how to fix it.. tried troubleshooting it.. reinstalled ubuntu at least 10 times i guess... still showing bad sectors and hard disk is failing.. so i chose to ignore it | 17:51 |
| malifal | igggimin: yes | 17:52 |
| slashme | chuy_max, in fact if you try to dd something and it doesn't work perfectly due to bad hardware or whatever, you've actually got to switch off the error checking to make dd continue. | 17:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | lifestream, just an FYI, please don't ask how i know ;) MANY of the PS2-to-USB adapters will NOT work with DDR mats, they don't accept two buttons being pressed at the same time - i was lucky enough to find one that does, but had many fails first | 17:52 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, and Windows works just fine??? | 17:52 |
| voicesinmyhead | yup | 17:52 |
| Stargaze | igggimin, type /join #ubuntu-server, people there are more skilled to give advice about SSH | 17:52 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, what hardware? | 17:52 |
| voicesinmyhead | yup windows worked fine | 17:52 |
| igggimin | Stargaze, malifal thank you | 17:53 |
| voicesinmyhead | hardware as in core2duo processor | 17:53 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, sata? What chipset? that kind of thing? | 17:53 |
| aar | malifal, orson That did the trick, thanks. | 17:53 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, did you get ubuntu installed at all? | 17:53 |
| lifestream | ZykoticK9, that really does stink! See, the thing is I have very, very little money. I was worried about getting one that doesnt work | 17:53 |
| xerox1 | what's the best way in your opinion to create backups from encrypted home partitions? | 17:54 |
| Korusef | ok problem solved with --oknodo param | 17:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | lifestream, keep the receipts :) | 17:54 |
| malifal | igggimin: create a tunnel and forward the port, 5900 or 5901, then on the other machine you connect localhost:0 or localhost:1 | 17:54 |
| dunn | Ununtu 9.10 netbook keeps shutting down the screen even though power management is set to never. Any ideas? | 17:54 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, sorry, one question at a time... did you get ubuntu installed at all, and if you did, how are the bad sectors showing up? | 17:54 |
| lifestream | ZykoticK9, Will do, thanks :P By the way, do you mind saying what yours (ddr pad converter) is? My boyfriend will be annoyed if we spend too much time at the store :P | 17:55 |
| archman | slashme !!! found a reason :( you need to turn off the "charge" option on the PSP | 17:55 |
| archman | slashme !! :) | 17:55 |
| slashme | archman, Well done!!!! | 17:55 |
| archman | thanks! | 17:56 |
| archman | "If your PSP is not automatically recognized see the Troubleshooting section at Mount/USB. This could be due to the "usb power" set to "on" over a usb port or wire that does not support usb powering. " | 17:56 |
| slashme | archman, always a pleasure. | 17:56 |
| archman | slashme, but lol, it charges anyway, just now it works :D | 17:56 |
| slashme | archman, furney and strange.... | 17:56 |
| archman | yep | 17:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | lifestream, went and grabbed it -- it has no brand or model on it at all -- just a sticker with a serial # and "made in taiwan" -- so no help at all, sorry | 17:57 |
| slashme | voicesinmyhead, you still there? | 17:57 |
| slashme | ZykoticK9, post pics lol | 17:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | slashme, lol - no camera! that's the first time anyone has "post pic" to me. lol | 17:58 |
| slashme | ZykoticK9, ;-] | 17:58 |
| flipflop_ | hiiiiiiiiiiii | 17:58 |
| slashme | !hi | 17:59 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 17:59 |
| slashme | !hi | flipflop_ | 17:59 |
| ubottu | flipflop_: please see above | 17:59 |
| jshriver | Greetings | 17:59 |
| flipflop_ | I have two laptop and one external hd with ubuntu installed | 17:59 |
| jshriver | anyone know how to specify the password for gpg in the cli? | 17:59 |
| jshriver | the man page is huge and can't find it so far | 17:59 |
| === luis__lopez is now known as luis_lopez | ||
| dunn | My screen keeps going blank when watching movies even though power management is set to never | 18:01 |
| slashme | flipflop_, felicitations on your fortuitous superfluity of hardware. | 18:01 |
| flipflop_ | the problem is that laptop1 have a intel graphic card and laptop2 have a nvidia graphic card | 18:01 |
| akshay | how to delete a folder in /usr/src | 18:01 |
| jshriver | akshay: be root and rm -rfv /usr/src/whatever | 18:02 |
| slashme | akshay, and why would you want to do that? | 18:02 |
| Pici | jshriver: Generally you don't want to do that, but you can do: gpg -d 0 < some_file_with_the_passphrase | 18:02 |
| lifestream | ZykoticK9, thanks about the info, im goinig to google a bit now that i am aware of the problems. Have a great day :) | 18:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | lifestream, just an FYI, but check out StepMania | 18:02 |
| flipflop_ | and the laptop-intel load nvidia-glx module... | 18:02 |
| akshay | how to enter in root mode in GUI mode | 18:02 |
| malifal | jshriver: you mean generate a key? gpg --gen-key | 18:02 |
| slashme | flipflop_, having one installation driving two laptops is generally not easy. | 18:02 |
| jshriver | no specify passphrase like: gpgp --inputfile blah.gpg --outputfile blah -p MyPassword | 18:03 |
| donpdonp | when i get a new email, there is a flash-notice in the upper right corner saying New Mail. If i dont see that notice, nothing else on the screen indicates a new mail is waiting. Is there something I can turn on or install to get a different kind of new email notification? | 18:03 |
| flipflop_ | slashme: how to "force that laptop-intel load intel-glx..." | 18:03 |
| jshriver | or something along those lines, my password is dynamic so writing a script that takes a couple inputs and formats the password for me and auto gpg decrypts it. | 18:03 |
| Pici | jshriver: Er, my brain had an oops its: gpg --passphrase-fd 0 < some_file_with_the_passphrase OR if your gpg version supports it you can use --pasphrase-file thefilename | 18:03 |
| akshay | thanks that worked | 18:03 |
| slashme | flipflop_, you could maybe have two xorg.conf files, one named xorg.conf.intel, and one named xorg.conf.nvidia, | 18:04 |
| donpdonp | i have "indicate new messages in the panel" turned on in evolution, but it doesnt seem to do anything | 18:04 |
| slashme | flipflop_, and then have xorg.conf be a symlink to one or the other. | 18:04 |
| Pici | jshriver: Oh. and it looks like some versions of gpg also support putting --passphrase theactualpassphrase | 18:04 |
| chuy_max | slashme, that's great | 18:04 |
| jshriver | Pici: hrm might have to do that then. Problem is my password is dynamic changes daily so I dont store it in plain text. Is there another way to specify it? | 18:04 |
| slashme | flipflop_, just change the symlink and bounce the xserver. | 18:04 |
| jshriver | ok let me try that | 18:04 |
| Pici | jshriver: That seems to be available in the version thats in Karmic. I know that on a RedHat install that I use those are not available. | 18:05 |
| slashme | chuy_max, sure is ;-) | 18:05 |
| Tittu | hello all. I tried to install ubuntu again and it gave the same error again. Error code 5:(input/output error). It says could not write to hard disk. The details contained a point, that hard disk might be old, which is true. does this mean that i cannot install ubuntu on my system ? | 18:05 |
| Esigolo | somebody can help me to solve this issue? http://pastebin.com/wnFpjdZE | 18:05 |
| jshriver | hrm gives me an error gpg: [don't know]: invalid packet (ctb=00) | 18:06 |
| jshriver | will just have to tinker around | 18:06 |
| akshay | iam not able extract the linux kernel 2.4 in /usr/src | 18:06 |
| flipflop_ | but in karmic xorg.conf... is omited??? | 18:06 |
| jshriver | akshay: what is the error | 18:06 |
| slashme | flipflop_, no problem! | 18:06 |
| slashme | flipflop_, you just make your own xorg.conf, will explain.... | 18:07 |
| orson | akshay: needs root-rights | 18:07 |
| akshay | already in root | 18:07 |
| Stargaze | Tittu, try Linux Mint, it's Ubuntu with a different interface and a lot of of diagostic tools and codecs pre-installed => http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php | 18:07 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: you could try installing on a usb. Have you tried loading a live cd and using gparted to format the drive? | 18:07 |
| Tittu | stargaze: but whats the problem with this version ? | 18:08 |
| malifal | Esigolo: what's the windows application that you're running? | 18:08 |
| slashme | flipflop_, sudo Xorg -configure will create an xorg.conf for you. | 18:08 |
| slashme | Then you save it in /etc/X11 | 18:08 |
| Tittu | spartan07: i was using a live cd and formatted the partition through it only | 18:08 |
| Stargaze | !mint| Tittu | 18:09 |
| Esigolo | calls platanus | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Tittu: 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) | 18:09 |
| malifal | Esigolo: platanus?? | 18:09 |
| Esigolo | yes | 18:09 |
| Flanker37 | i have just downloaded java but i dont know how to install it, can anyone help please | 18:09 |
| flipflop_ | slashme: yes but if I have installed nvidia-glx package then is load intel-graphic and nvidia-glx... | 18:09 |
| m3onh0x84 | hi all, when ubuntu using dhcp4 ? | 18:09 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: did the drive run an OS before you tried installing ubuntu? | 18:09 |
| Esigolo | malifal, yes | 18:09 |
| flipflop_ | I think that that is a bug but... | 18:09 |
| malifal | Esigolo: did you check with the winehq appdb if that application has any issues? | 18:09 |
| Esigolo | malifal, not yet | 18:10 |
| OerHeks | Flanker37, use Java from restricted-extra's | 18:10 |
| Tittu | ubbotu: i have the original ubuntu version which i downloaded from ubuntu's website | 18:10 |
| akshay | somebody help me to compile the kernel manually | 18:10 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: is this Ubuntu 9.10? | 18:10 |
| orson | flipflop_: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 18:10 |
| Flanker37 | is that in the software sources. sorry im a noob | 18:10 |
| slashme | flipflop_, sorry, didn't quite understand? | 18:10 |
| flipflop_ | the problem is that laptop-intel load intel-graphic module and nvidia-glx module... | 18:11 |
| Esigolo | malifal, the app is not listed on winehd appDB | 18:11 |
| Stargaze | Tittu, instead of looking for the cause of the problem, it's sometimes to try a fresh install | 18:11 |
| OerHeks | Flanker37, yes, synaptics > restricted extra's will install codecs & java | 18:11 |
| akshay | please help me compile the kernel manually | 18:11 |
| Stargaze | +better | 18:11 |
| slashme | flipflop_, and then what happens? | 18:11 |
| Flanker37 | thanks mate, will give it a try now | 18:11 |
| slashme | akshay, well, yes.... | 18:11 |
| akshay | ya ..pls | 18:12 |
| slashme | akshay, why do you want to recompile your kernel? | 18:12 |
| OerHeks | Flanker37, total download 300 mb or so | 18:12 |
| flipflop_ | don't work 3d graphic capabilities | 18:12 |
| malifal | Esigolo: your best bet is to check with the wine team channels and forums | 18:12 |
| slashme | flipflop_, that's surely not because it's trying to load two modules: the x server should detect which module to load based on your hardware. | 18:12 |
| Flanker37 | thanks OerHeks | 18:13 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: did you check the cd for defects? | 18:13 |
| Stargaze | !wine| Esigolo | 18:13 |
| ubottu | Esigolo: 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 | 18:13 |
| Yerushalmi | If I have FCE Ultra open before opening Firefox, it takes over use of my soundcard and I have no audio in (say) youtube videos, even after FCE Ultra is closed and even if I close and reopen the tab, until Firefox is shut down and reopened entirely. Anyone know how to fix this? | 18:13 |
| slashme | flipflop_, have you checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what error it gives? | 18:13 |
| Esigolo | malifal, i'm already on winehq channel wainting for help tks :) | 18:13 |
| flipflop_ | yes, that is but load "intel-graphic" and "nvidia-glx" (not "nvidia-graphic") | 18:14 |
| datz | Hi, is there documentation of when kernel updates are released? | 18:14 |
| slashme | flipflop_, sorry, again I didn't quite understand what you said ;-[ | 18:14 |
| slashme | flipflop_, what is "nvidia-graphic"? | 18:15 |
| slashme | flipflop_, nvidia-glx is the right driver for nvidia cards if I remember correctly. | 18:15 |
| Tittu | sorry i got disconnected | 18:15 |
| flipflop_ | lsmod |grep intel | 18:15 |
| flipflop_ | intel_agp 27676 2 i915 | 18:15 |
| datz | wow, dead here today | 18:15 |
| flipflop_ | that is intel-graphic module... | 18:16 |
| Tittu | the last message i read was that you asked me whether it was 9.10 ? | 18:16 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: did you check the cd for defects? | 18:16 |
| Tittu | yes it is 9.10, i downloaded it today | 18:16 |
| slashme | flipflop_, sure, and that's on the intel box, right? | 18:16 |
| Tittu | spartan07: how do i do that >? | 18:16 |
| flipflop_ | yes | 18:16 |
| nperry | !ot | datz | 18:16 |
| ubottu | datz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 18:16 |
| slashme | flipflop_, and then on the nvidia box? | 18:17 |
| sllide | anyone knows a auto-tune program for linux? | 18:17 |
| spartan07 | when you fire up the pc to install its one of the options instead of installing | 18:17 |
| flipflop_ | then, in the Xorg.0.log file "say load nvidia-glx" | 18:17 |
| datz | nperry: how is my question off topic? | 18:17 |
| spartan07 | check maybe the cd was burned incorrectly. | 18:17 |
| slashme | flipflop_, sounds right.... | 18:17 |
| Tittu | spartan07: the cd was burned successfully without any errors | 18:18 |
| nperry | datz: Didn't see the question just the "dead here" comment, my bad. | 18:18 |
| datz | Hi, is there documentation of when *ubuntu* kernel updates are released? (sorry, I meant ubuntu) | 18:18 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: did the hd have another OS that was running fine before you tried installing ubuntu? | 18:18 |
| flipflop_ | yes, all is work fine, only the graphic card is suck | 18:18 |
| datz | nperry: np. ;) | 18:18 |
| Tittu | yes, win Xp | 18:18 |
| arved | hi, i am running UNR, and i want to add a keyboard indicator applet, what is the name of the binary? | 18:19 |
| spartan07 | I would check. I get successful burns with brasero that dont work. ended up moving to K3B | 18:19 |
| obscurant1st | my webcam works with a custom settings done in gstreamer-properties but, only xawtv is able to detect my webcam, cheese and camorama does not detect it? anyone have any idea? | 18:19 |
| nperry | datz: to Answer your question. New verions of kernel will only be realesed with a new release for example lunch is sporting 2.6.32 | 18:19 |
| flipflop_ | the problem is that laptop-intel load "intel-graphic" module and that module "I think" load "nvidia-glx"... | 18:20 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: how old is the box ? | 18:20 |
| Tittu | spartan07: the message you typed before, without name, was that for me, is it an option available before installation ? | 18:20 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: yes | 18:20 |
| n-iCe | hiii how many partitions does ubuntu installs by default? | 18:20 |
| nperry | datz: Current releases will only ever have secruity fixes to the current kernel (never seen it happen before) | 18:20 |
| datz | nperry: thanks, but I mean just, kernel updates to individual releases. | 18:20 |
| orson | n-iCe: 2, swap + / | 18:20 |
| n-iCe | ok, sda1 and sd3? orson | 18:21 |
| spartan07 | its I think 3rd when it says try ubuntu without installing anything on pc | 18:21 |
| slashme | flipflop_, nah. What makes you think intel-graphic loads nvidia-glx? | 18:21 |
| flipflop_ | but if I deinstall nvidia-glx package that problem is solve... | 18:21 |
| orson | n-iCe: whatever | 18:21 |
| spartan07 | Tittu: its I think 3rd when it says try ubuntu without installing anything on pc | 18:21 |
| Yerushalmi | If I open a youtube video, Firefox takes over my sound card until it's completely shut down again (not even closing the tab helps) such that no other program can play any sounds. The same happens in reverse. How do I fix this? | 18:21 |
| Tittu | spartan07: it's about 6 yrs old. I will check the disk for errors and come back in a few minutes. Thanks a lot | 18:21 |
| flipflop_ | yes, I thionk that | 18:21 |
| n-iCe | orson: uhm, how to list all of them? df -h isn't working | 18:21 |
| orson | n-iCe: sudo fdisk -l | 18:21 |
| nperry | datz: Does that kind of answer your question? | 18:21 |
| Tittu | spartan07: but my hard disk is 4 yrs old | 18:21 |

| reddrag0n | i need a little help with my screen resolution | 18:26 |
| datz | nperry: ok thanks. I was just wondering if there was some average time between updates, and if I can skip one. It would appear that way. | 18:26 |
| flipflop_ | there exist any channel for graphic card problems? | 18:26 |
| n-iCe | orson: default partition I guess | 18:26 |
| nperry | datz: You can always skip them as for example if .21 was ready it'd include .20 plus some | 18:26 |
| Stefansteve | how do you change the buttons back to the right in 10.04? as said in http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/ | 18:26 |
| datz | nperry: or not an average time, but if I can skip one... :) I just removed the old ones, saving over 500MB space... | 18:27 |
| orson | n-iCe: let's start other way round: what do you need to know? | 18:27 |
| n-iCe | The thing is, I see my hard drive, file syste in Computer, but is asks root pass to mount, why isn't mounting it at boot? | 18:27 |
| malifal | orson: i'm jumping here, not sure what's going on with you, but that's one way of listing the mount points, the other is thru /proc i guess | 18:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | Stefansteve, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side | 18:27 |

| archman | will i need to edit the /etc/fstab if i remove one ntfs partition i have and add the space to the existing ext3 (not the system one)? | 18:29 |
| Yerushalmi | Haffe: wasn't mplayer-plugin replaced by gecko-mediaplayer? Though I tried installing that and it didn't work. Could I be missing the codecs, where do I get them? | 18:29 |
| Tittu | hello all. I checked my disk for errors and it had error in 1 file. I will have to download live cd again. Thanks spartan07 | 18:29 |

| Yerushalmi | If I open a youtube video, Firefox takes over my sound card until it's completely shut down again (not even closing the tab helps) such that no other program can play any sounds. The same happens in reverse. How do I fix this? | 18:33 |

| archman | orson, 3. adding the rest to sda1 | 18:33 |

| orson | archman: sorry cannot help, i never resized partitions in my life | 18:35 |
| Yerushalmi | Aciid: From the command I assume that means "wipe the sound card users list clean and start again"? There's no way to allow more than one thing to use it | 18:35 |

| nperry | Guest45508: First of all we need to find where the card is dropping to. | 18:56 |
| Guest45508 | nperry: i think it has to do with inactivity of the computer, cause the problem comes always after leaving it on but doing nothing on it for some time | 18:58 |
| nmvictor | telmich: thanks for that suggestion. now the reason am fussing around with apple and stuff is because some dude messed up with the mac osX 10.something by deleting the drivers in an attemt to save get some more space out of its 10GB harddisk, so having messes up, he shoved it off to me and I thought maybe ubuntu would work on it.So on booting it stops with KERNEL PANIC, Cant load drivers for power 4 .., is that the same as power pc? | 18:59 |

| snirp | Hey there, Some advise on installation needed.... | 19:11 |
| snirp | I have a HDD with a windows install, that i want to keep using | 19:11 |
| snirp | and a ubuntu install i screwed up | 19:12 |
| martinvdk | can I in any way change the colors of xclock, when it uses xrender? | 19:12 |
| snirp | Can i override the old Ubuntu install and still have choice in boot? | 19:12 |
| ian_ | Hello My printer dosnt work correctly | 19:12 |
| === artur__ is now known as Grigorij | ||
| erUSUL | snirp: override meaning what in this context? | 19:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | ElNombre, get winetricks from http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks it can install .net v1.1 v2.0 2.0sp2 or 3.0 | 19:13 |
| ElNombre | zyktoick9: thank you | 19:13 |
| snirp | erUSUL: format the current ubuntu partition | 19:13 |

| Yerushalmi | If I disable my wireless (with Fn+F2 on this laptop, but anyway) I can't reenable it. I press the button and the blue wireless indicator light turns on again but it continues to tell me "device not ready". This can only be fixed by reboot. Anyone know what to do? | 19:13 |
| snirp | erUSUL: never to use again | 19:13 |
| erUSUL | snirp: to install ubuntu again or to just have a new ntfs partition? if it is the later you will have to reinstall the windows bootloader | 19:14 |
| snirp | erUSUL: and replace with new ubunutu, but keep having GRUB offering choice | 19:14 |
| snirp | dont touch NTFS | 19:14 |
| erUSUL | snirp: you need the windows install cd boot into recovery console and run fixmbr | 19:14 |
| tjgillies | I have an acer aspire 5740 running karmic. all sound stuff works except for mic. any ideas? | 19:14 |
| snirp | It is fine (well, it remains windoiws | 19:14 |
| erUSUL | snirp: if you install ubuntu again you will install a new grub and you will get dualboot | 19:15 |
| snirp | erUSUL: so i can just run Ubuntu installer? Even at expense of unpartitioned space and still get boot choice? | 19:15 |
| damian | If a deb package requires python to be an older version than 2.6 and I have 2.5, what would be the next step from here? | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | snirp: just do the same you did in your first ubuntu install and the result will be the same | 19:16 |
| === harisund_ is now known as hsunda3 | ||
| snirp | erUSUL: the default option eats diskspace form the NTFS partion..... not good since i have a lot of unpartitioned and an nonworking ubuntu EXT4 | 19:16 |
| erUSUL | damian: install python 2.6 | 19:16 |
| Myx0x3 | why does the Gnome login screen show a lower resolution? it shows 720x400.. and my screen supports 1024x768... ive tryd to config xorg.conf, but dont find it inside /var/X11/ | 19:17 |
| damian | I have both on my comp | 19:17 |
| snirp | erUSUL: no it will eat even more from the NTFS, believe me | 19:17 |
| erUSUL | snirp: just tell the installer to use the already paritioned spce then | 19:17 |
| snirp | erUSUL, ok that is what i needed! | 19:17 |
| erUSUL | snirp: or delete the partitions and tell the installer to use the empty space | 19:18 |
| snirp | erUSUL: the mount point should be ""/"" then rtight? | 19:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myx0x3, xorg.conf is in /etc/X11/ - not /var | 19:18 |
| Friction[laptop] | can someone recommend a multi Im client that's not pidgeon, kopete, empathy or emesene? | 19:18 |
| erUSUL | snirp: yes | 19:18 |
| histo | Friction[laptop]: is there a problem with allo of those? | 19:18 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: oh im sorry.. i mean /etc/X11.. | 19:18 |
| Friction[laptop] | they all have problems | 19:18 |
| Friction[laptop] | at least for me | 19:19 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: no config file | 19:19 |
| snirp | erUSUL: optionally /home/ for unpartitioned and have it format that a swell? | 19:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myx0x3, it's not there by default -- what gfx card are you using? | 19:19 |
| histo | Friction[laptop]: you could use a windows one with wine | 19:19 |
| erUSUL | snirp: do you have/want a separated home partition ? | 19:19 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: im not realy sure! haha | 19:19 |
| K-Yo | Hello | 19:19 |
| Friction[laptop] | wine sucks | 19:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myrtti, "lspci | grep VGA" | 19:19 |
| xangua | Friction[laptop]: wich problems¿ | 19:19 |
| snirp | erUSUL, i read about it. Seems to be all the fashion | 19:19 |
| andruk | my computer went into sleep mode and now it wont come out of it - the keyboard num, caps, and scroll lock lights dont even work. how do i get my computer to wake up? | 19:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myx0x3, "lscpi | grep VGA" | 19:20 |
| damian | If you don't mind a firefox plubin, yoono lets you log into multiple IM interfaces | 19:20 |
| erUSUL | snirp: then do manual partitioning and set up the things as you want them | 19:20 |
| snirp | erUSUL, ok first time around this. | 19:20 |
| xangua | damian: now yoono is a desktop app too; they recently released a beta evrsion for linux desktop | 19:20 |
| K-Yo | I am having troubles with 7zip, I installed p7zip-full and now the archive extractor can't even open .zip files, trying to read them as 7zip :/ | 19:21 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: Radeon R350 | 19:21 |
| orson | K-Yo: install unzip | 19:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | Myx0x3, sorry i can't help with ATI - good luck | 19:21 |
| Friction[laptop] | pidgeon crashed often, kopete works but has annoying rendering issues and is butt ugly, emesene is only msn i think and empathy hid 2 of my users when i tried moving them to a new group | 19:21 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: also called Radeon 9800 Pro | 19:21 |
| xangua | K-Yo: uninstall 'p7zip-full' and install 'unzip' | 19:21 |
| seanbrystone2 | andruk, i get the same thing when trying to wake the computer up, black screen, blinking cursor, keyboard completely frozen, i think it has to do with the ATI from what ive been reading on google about it :((( | 19:21 |
| Myx0x3 | ZykoticK9: okay :/ | 19:22 |
| blakkheim | Friction[laptop]: use finch | 19:22 |

| === goose is now known as goose[ME] | ||
| K-Yo | orson, thank you, that worked to open zip files, but I can't open 7z files with the basic ubuntu extractor, I guess it's normal since p7zip is only a cli software, right? | 19:24 |
| histo | Friction[laptop]: i'm sure there are multiple solutions google may be the best resource to find them. | 19:24 |
| erUSUL | stevecrozz: some usefull error msg? | 19:24 |
| stevecrozz | erUSUL: I've checked a number of places, I can't find any useful errors, I do have an ssh connection to his machine though, so I can scour log files | 19:25 |
| orson | K-Yo: i don't know | 19:25 |
| erUSUL | stevecrozz: ~/.xsession-errors ? | 19:25 |
| xangua | K-Yo: uninstall p7zip-full and install just the normal p7zip | 19:26 |
| stevecrozz | erUSUL: the only error I see there is '.: 34: Can't open /home/roger/.profile' | 19:26 |
| justinlilly | hey folks. I'm using xrandr to correct my display resolution for awesome (windowmanager). When I do it, the "chrome" of each ui element is scaled up so things are out of proportion. Any thoughts on the cause? | 19:26 |

| andruk | seanbrystone2: why is it that whenever ubuntu gets close to a new release, all bugs start to get dismissed with "should work in lucid". why dont we investigate where these bugs are coming from and make sure that they are intentionally fixed as opposed to coincidentally "fixed"? | 19:39 |

| guntbert | andruk: this is not a developpers channel - only users | 19:40 |

| magn3ts | How can I apply audio effects to my current audio out? | 20:55 |
| Purpley | Hey, how do i install a .sh file? | 20:55 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: it's a very easy process and most of the times the commands I gave are provided too on the ppa site; if the ubuntu repos don't have a package or are outdated search on launchpad.net | 20:55 |
| guntbert | !es | iVaNcH|oX^aWaY | 20:55 |
| ubottu | iVaNcH|oX^aWaY: 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. | 20:55 |
| iceroot | Purpley: you cant install a sh-file | 20:55 |
| mhall119|work | pulse00: you will only be able to restore a dd backup on an identical harddrive | 20:55 |
| Purpley | iceroot, So i just run it with sh? | 20:56 |
| ihearvoices | hard disk is failing".......checked it on forums it says its a bug... cant find the fix though | 20:56 |
| iceroot | Purpley: but maybe you want ./yourshfile or "sh yourshfile" | 20:56 |

| Ellocomotive | Vcoolio: ok got it, ppa site... Ok, so its updating through the terminal now, does that mean its installing itself, or do i need to do something else to continue? | 20:56 |

| mhall119|work | let me find the file | 20:57 |
| Ellocomotive | mhall119Iwork: Wireless | 20:57 |
| ubuntu | black_z | 20:57 |
| mhall119|work | Ellocomotive: watch dmesg to see if it's giving an error | 20:57 |
| mhall119|work | my old Atheros card used to do that | 20:57 |
| Marc128000 | mhall119|work, Thanks for the help | 20:57 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: what was your last command? the "sudo apt-get update" only means updating the package database, it installs nothing | 20:57 |
| iceroot | Radar: dpkg -l you want maybe | 20:57 |
| alonea | so does linux still have issues with wpa2 or is it something else? I did have to ndiswrapper my wireless card. | 20:58 |
| mhall119|work | Marc128000: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 20:58 |
| mhall119|work | add the modules you don't want loaded there | 20:58 |
| Radar | iceroot: I want to replace the file that has that list, as I am manually deleting the files that are installed by packages. | 20:58 |
| Marc128000 | mhall119|work, appreciate the help! | 20:58 |

| ihearvoices | can some1 tell me a lighter gui than gnome? kde xfce or anthing more lite?? | 20:58 |
| Ellocomotive | Vcoolio: get update was my last command, sorry If you gotta break things down Barney style, I am fresh to Ubuntu | 20:58 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: Xfce is lighter than Gnome | 20:59 |
| mhall119|work | LXDE even more so | 20:59 |
| mhall119|work | but you'll lose integration and some usability | 20:59 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: xfce4 also called xubuntu-desktop | 20:59 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: you just added a new software source, that repo, so it needs to update the database; | 20:59 |
| guntbert | Radar: sounds like a bad idea to me - but maybe thats only me | 20:59 |
| erUSUL | ihearvoices: just a openbox + pacman and a light panel or dock | 20:59 |
| ihearvoices | fluxbox..is it lighter than xfce?.. if so how to install it? | 20:59 |
| iceroot | Radar: so you want to rebuild that list? | 20:59 |
| Radar | iceroot: yes | 20:59 |
| ihearvoices | what about fluxbox? | 20:59 |
| Ellocomotive | Vcoolio: I am assuming that I need to go to the package manager and refresh it? | 21:00 |
| Purpley | ihearvoices, If you cant run a DE id try DSL | 21:00 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: that's the same as 'sudo apt-get update' | 21:00 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: LXDE uses openbox, it's about as light as fluxbox | 21:00 |
| ihearvoices | what is de and what is dsl..sorry noob here | 21:00 |
| Purpley | Hey whats another pasting site besides pastebin.com | 21:00 |
| Ellocomotive | Vcoolio: ah I see, thanks for schooling me up | 21:00 |
| Radar | guntbert: it is only for the purposes of running automated tests against the box. I need to roll it back to an initial state. | 21:00 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: if you want gui, then indeed refresh / reload there and find the package | 21:00 |

| Ellocomotive | Vcoolio: it appears to be installing! Thanks for helping me and also explaining what it was we were doing! | 21:01 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: yes | 21:01 |
| gustin | ihearvoices: and what do you mean by lighter? CPU usage, memory, etc? | 21:01 |
| Radar | guntbert: it is virtualized (VMWare Fusion) but I cannot find a way to automate the rollback. | 21:01 |
| VCoolio | Ellocomotive: no problem; bookmark launchpad.net, very useful | 21:01 |

| hmw | mhall119|work: aaah. thx | 21:03 |

| mgolisch | Radar: /Library/Application Support/Vmware Fusion/vmrun or something | 21:04 |
| Gieke | /boot/grub/menu.lst seems empty | 21:04 |

| mgolisch | Radar: no idea why they hide it | 21:04 |

| Gieke | hm | 21:04 |
| gustin | phajas: edit the /etc/network/interfaces file for static IP | 21:04 |
| Gieke | let's see | 21:04 |
| iceroot | Gieke: if you are on a fresh installed 9.10 there is no menu.lst because it is using grub2 | 21:04 |
| ihearvoices | if i have to choose between lxde , xfce, kde, fluxbox.. which is lighter.. if other .. plz mention | 21:04 |

| sometux | anyone on ekiga? | 21:11 |
| mhall119|work | TxPitou: yes, JLove could add an entry in /etc/fstab as well to make it automatic | 21:11 |
| Zenker | ok, ozlem just wants to remove ubuntu from this system, how do i direct him to do so? | 21:11 |
| gustin | phajas: well, that makes things more of a challenge... can you at least ping an IP? | 21:11 |
| mhall119|work | JLove: you can, but it gets pretty technical | 21:11 |
| silentx | TxPitou: Links are did .. | 21:11 |
| silentx | died .. | 21:11 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: how do i serve a php file now using apache? | 21:11 |
| phajas | gustin: I cannot ping outside of my LAN, and I'm confident this is not hardware issue, as this machine was JUST routing out before I rebooted it | 21:11 |
| heoa | What is the password if you accidentally press ^x in GNU Screen? | 21:11 |
| TxPitou | silentx: I am looking at that web page I just sent you, if it is dead on yourside then its on your side the issue | 21:12 |
| sometux | I want to test ekiga with someone | 21:12 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: putting it in the web-directory normally /var/www | 21:12 |
| ihearvoices | iceroot, so how do i get lite stuff installed on ubuntu like a lite torrent client, a lite gui, until i get my hardware checked and repaired if required?.. i mean what do i type in terminal ..? what commands? | 21:12 |
| mhall119|work | heoa: your user's password? | 21:12 |
| silentx | not the page link .. i mean the link inside it .. >> the link of the driver .. | 21:12 |
| TxPitou | mhall119|work: sorry "tab" attack :) | 21:12 |

| Madwill | i want to add another ip to eth1 what is that procedure called so i can google it | 21:12 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: /var/www/ | 21:12 |
| JLove | mhall119|work: Okay, I'll try adding it to fstab and hope it overrides whatever else is mounting it:-) thanks for your help!! | 21:12 |
| Madwill | the machine needs 2 ip for 2 services on port 80 | 21:13 |
| wren45 | hi everybody | 21:13 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: google "crunchbang linux", might be want you're looking for | 21:13 |
| gustin | phajas: to be clear, you cannot ping IPs outside your LAN? I am just checking that you were not using hostnames | 21:13 |
| TxPitou | silentx: your a lazy ass you know that : http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 | 21:13 |
| sometux | I need help to test Ekiga with someone? | 21:13 |
| heoa | mhall119|work: does not work | 21:13 |
| sometux | wren45: \o/ | 21:13 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: and then i can run it by going to localhost? | 21:13 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: correct | 21:13 |
| mhall119|work | heoa: then I don't know | 21:13 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: ok thank you | 21:13 |
| hsunda3 | arand: cat /etc/default/grub cat: /etc/default/grub: No such file or directory | 21:13 |
| silentx | i know that .. but i've download that driver before coming in here .. | 21:13 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: maybe apache needs a restart after installing php5 | 21:13 |
| TxPitou | JLove: if in fstab linux will use that config | 21:14 |
| silentx | but it cant be compiled .. | 21:14 |
| silentx | :S | 21:14 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 21:14 |
| phajas | gustin: whoops, just tried pinging an IP. That seems to work. What's the problem then, a nameserver issue? | 21:14 |
| wren45 | I need program to play dvd movies in karmic koala x64 desktop which would be the best? | 21:14 |
| gustin | phajas: use pastebin and post the output from "ip route", "sudo iptables -L", "cat /etc/resolve.conf" | 21:14 |
| TxPitou | silentx: did you check the other page I sent you ? | 21:14 |
| gustin | phajas: yes | 21:14 |
| sometux | Im for a way to test Ekiga, help pleeeeeeees! | 21:14 |
| Purpley | gustin, Any idea what might of gone wrong? | 21:14 |
| iceroot | wren45: doesnt matter but install libdvdcss2 | 21:14 |
| silentx | Yes .. 2009_0713_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.3.zip | 21:14 |

| valentin_ | Hello @ All | 21:15 |
| arand | hsunda3: Hmm, so you are using grub1? (i.e. pre-karmic/upgraded karmic) | 21:15 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: it means go to www.google.com, and search for "crunchbang linux" | 21:15 |
| TxPitou | silentx: look closely there are 2 options for the RT us card if that one doesnt work try the other one | 21:15 |
| phajas | gustin: here's the pastebin - http://pastebin.ca/1832491 | 21:15 |
| ihearvoices | mhall119|work, what is google crunchbag n how to get it wat commands? | 21:15 |
| sometux | valentin_: \o/ | 21:15 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: it means go to www.google.com, and search for "crunchbang linux" | 21:15 |
| hsunda3 | arand: I am using new karmic on x86_64 ... does 64 bit karmic use Grub 1? I don't remember deliberately downgrading | 21:15 |
| katesmith | i wanted to ask a question | 21:15 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: if i am honest, its the best way to stay with ubuntu and gnome and dont use a light desktop environment | 21:15 |
| silentx | i downloaded them both .. it gives an error when i tried to compile it .. using the instructions in Readme | 21:15 |
| mhall119|work | ihearvoices: http://crunchbanglinux.org/ | 21:16 |
| valentin_ | Is there any way to change the gnome pannel names "Applications Places System" ? | 21:16 |
| TxPitou | katesmith: ask away | 21:16 |
| Radar | iceroot & mgolisch thanks a lot for your help, that's much easier now :) | 21:16 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: because light is almost not very focused on usability | 21:16 |
| gustin | Purpley: so you are running the GMote-server.sh? Something is wrong with java. try "sudo killall java" and then try again. Java is not really my strong suit | 21:16 |
| silentx | TxPitou: one of them is the driver and the other is for the firmware of the device ,, | 21:16 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: just fix your hardware and dont use xfce4 or something else | 21:16 |
| ihearvoices | is crunchbang a gui or a os? | 21:16 |
| Purpley | gustin, Yeah me too | 21:17 |
| TxPitou | silentx: okay did youo look at the wiki for that card ? | 21:17 |
| sometux | ihearvoices: go google to find out | 21:17 |
| Matic`Makovec | Hello there. So aptitude safe-upgrade was roughly interrupted in the middle of installing software including kernel. Now the thing can not finish the upgrade. What is there for me to actually do to resolve the issue? | 21:17 |
| TxPitou | silentx: yor your like luke skywalker and using the force | 21:17 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: sudo apt-get install -f | 21:17 |
| silentx | TxPitou, in ubuntu page ? .. or in it's official site .. ? | 21:17 |
| Purpley | gustin, That didn't do anything :( | 21:17 |
| TxPitou | silentx: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Pag | 21:17 |
| sometux | Matic`Makovec: resume the installation | 21:18 |
| gustin | phajas: delete everything in /etc/resolv.conf, and stop the network manager. Why do you even have a GUI on a server? | 21:18 |
| katesmith | i cant seem to be able to made a cd , i need a password to do that, i really wanted to install ubuntu 9.10 or madriva onto the computer, is there a way i can buy a cd online that would have it on there so i can install it and its iso files, and where would i purchase it ? | 21:18 |
| hsunda3 | Hey guys does 64 bit Karmic use Grub1 instead of Grub2? | 21:18 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: how do I copy the file to /var/www. | 21:18 |
| iceroot | Matic`Makovec: sudo apt-get -f install | 21:18 |
| Matic`Makovec | sometux, dpkg --configure -a returns errors | 21:18 |
| arand | hsunda3: is it's a new install it definitely should be that file there... If you do "aptitude search grub" is "grub" installed or "grub-pc"? | 21:18 |
| gustin | Purpley: it may work after a reboot. you may need to get support from the gmote people | 21:18 |
| ihearvoices | if i switch to any older versions are they more easy on the system hardware? | 21:18 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: cp filename /var/www/ | 21:18 |
| silentx | TxPitou: i'll start every thing from the begging | 21:18 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: thanks | 21:18 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: no | 21:18 |
| Matic`Makovec | iceroot, it says "you must manually run dpkg --configure -a" | 21:18 |
| phajas | gustin: Didn't have a server disk during install. I had to instruct someone over Skype to install the server while I was away at school. I have gnome uninstalled. How do I stop network manager? | 21:18 |
| katesmith | is there a way that i can buy a ready made cd for unbuntu 9.10 or mandriva ? | 21:18 |
| hsunda3 | arand: grub-pc :) and I see a /boot/grub/menu.lst .. Could something I installed downgraded grb without my knowing? Both my 64 bit machines are showing grub 1 | 21:18 |
| iceroot | Matic`Makovec: then run that | 21:19 |
| ihearvoices | iceroot, thanx | 21:19 |
| Purpley | gustin, Alright thanks for trying | 21:19 |
| Matic`Makovec | iceroot, <Matic`Makovec> sometux, dpkg --configure -a returns errors | 21:19 |
| gustin | phajas: the /etc/resolv.conf has syntax like this: "nameserver 8.8.8.8" for each nameserver line | 21:19 |
| iceroot | ihearvoices: please fix your hardware. your pc will crash doesnt matter if you use gnome, kde, xfce4 or something else | 21:19 |
| gustin | phajas: it depends on the version of Ubuntu | 21:19 |
| phajas | gustin: Doh. Should I change it to match that format, then reboot? | 21:19 |
| TxPitou | katesmith: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 | 21:19 |

| phajas | gustin: I am unsure of the version on this computer | 21:19 |
| arand | hsunda3: Yea that appears as though you have grub1 setup, but the utility packages are for grub2... | 21:20 |
| katesmith | okay thankyou so much | 21:20 |
| gustin | phajas: newer Ubuntus are "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop" or "sudo service network-manager stop" | 21:20 |
| iceroot | ikonia: if you call for e.g. firefox it doenst matter if you use gnome, kde or something else if your fan is broken | 21:20 |
| gustin | phajas: no need to reboot | 21:20 |
| iceroot | ikonia: sorry wrong nick | 21:20 |
| gustin | phajas: if you reboot network manager is going to get in the way again | 21:20 |
| arand | hsunda3: And you do not have /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? | 21:20 |
| gustin | phajas: personally I uninstall network manager from anything that resembles a server | 21:20 |
| sometux | Matic`Makovec: run aptitude safe-upgrade | 21:21 |
| phajas | gustin: I can't access neither of those. Should I change /etc/resolv.conf to use nameserver 8.8.8.8 syntax? | 21:21 |
| jumbers | I hate how the Close, Minimize, and Maximize buttons have moved over to the left side in Lucid. How can I move them back? | 21:21 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: I currently have index.html in my /var/www folder. I cannot see my .php file when i go to localhost, all i see is the index.html file | 21:21 |
| hsunda3 | arand: Not on my 64 bit machines, no. It seems to be grub1 with /boot/grub/menu.lst .. I have no idea how !! (And it's not an upgrade, I had Windows on it earlier, if that counts as an upgrade :P) | 21:21 |
| Matic`Makovec | sometux, this is just doing cycles. It fails, as said. | 21:21 |
| Matic`Makovec | The interrupt screwed up stuff badly | 21:21 |
| TxPitou | !lucid | jumbers | 21:21 |
| ubottu | jumbers: Lucid Lynx is the codename for Ubuntu 10.04, due April 29th, 2010 - Lucid is NOT released and is NOT stable - Discussion and support only in #ubuntu+1 | 21:21 |
| iceroot | Matic`Makovec: http://localhost/yourfile.php | 21:21 |
| gustin | phajas: which version of ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| iceroot | Marchingknight11: http://localhost/yourfile.php | 21:21 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: thanks | 21:21 |
| iceroot | Matic`Makovec: wrong nick... | 21:21 |
| trelayne | hi all I installed Sun Java, then OpenJDK java. Now Java web start using the openjdk one instead of the Sun Java one. Is there a way to fix this without altogether removing OpenJDK? | 21:21 |
| Matic`Makovec | :) | 21:22 |
| phajas | gustin: I am unsure. Somewhere between 7.10 and 8.10. I know, that's really vague. | 21:22 |
| TxPitou | iceroot: your on a roll on tab attack s:) | 21:22 |
| sometux | Matic`Makovec: run aptitude full-upgrade | 21:22 |
| Dynetrekk | hi. I have remote access to someone's (non-computer-literate person) xubuntu machine. he claims the machine blacks out immediately after graphical login. does anyone have a clue what the problem might be? | 21:22 |
| Matic`Makovec | sometux, I can try that, indeed. | 21:22 |
| gustin | phajas: "cat /etc/issues" | 21:22 |
| mhall119|work | trelayne: update-alternatives will let you change which java is used by default | 21:22 |
| Marchingknight11 | iceroot: thanks, it works now | 21:22 |
| mhall119|work | trelayne: there used to be a "galternatives" packages that provided a gui | 21:22 |
| gustin | phajas: erm "cat /etc/issue" | 21:22 |
| phajas | gustin: Looks like 8.10 | 21:22 |
| Snoopy1 | so is it posible to backup Ubuntu? | 21:22 |
| iceroot | trelayne: update-alternatives --config java | 21:22 |
| phajas | gustin: Also, weird characters in my ssh session: "Ubuntu 8.10 çn çl" | 21:23 |
| TxPitou | Dynetrekk: ... linux prefers people that have no idea to notbeable to mess things up, see how inteligent linux is ! (JOKE) | 21:23 |
| gustin | Snoopy1: there are hundreds of ways of backing up Ubuntu | 21:23 |
| trelayne | thank you mhall119|work iceroot :-) | 21:23 |
| mhall119|work | iceroot: it's probably javaws | 21:23 |
| iceroot | TxPitou: just bad luck, because my client is using the last nick which is saying something and i only write the first character always | 21:23 |
| Dynetrekk | TxPitou: get the joke. but I was hoping for something more helpful :) | 21:23 |
| iceroot | mhall119|work: is it? hm, ok | 21:23 |
| sometux | Snoopy1: try BackupPC | 21:23 |
| gustin | phajas: probably a locale thing, from your pastebin it did not look like you were using the english version | 21:23 |
| mhall119|work | iceroot: trelayne: javaws for java web start | 21:23 |
| TxPitou | Dynetrekk: sorry , only here for comedy relief ;) | 21:23 |
| mhall119|work | I think | 21:23 |
| arand | hsunda3: Odd, well if you do have the menu.lst you should be able to do the same there, you want to clear the quiet and splash from "# defoptions" (but leave it commented out) then run "sudo update-grub" | 21:24 |
| trelayne | yes javaws | 21:24 |
| sometux | Snoopy1: Also SystemImager | 21:24 |
| iceroot | mhall119|work: ok, i just read java jdk | 21:24 |
| Aeronius | *lurk* *lurk* | 21:24 |
| julio | hi there | 21:24 |
| phajas | gustin: I'm pretty sure I had someone choose the english language. Is there any functionality difference? Also, after changing /etc/resolv.conf (should I do that) what should I do? | 21:24 |
| gustin | phajas: do you have anything in /etc/init.d that looks like it has the word network or nm in it? | 21:24 |
| hsunda3 | arand: Yeah .. thanks :) I will do that. I am still curious how my 64 bit machnes have Grub-1 but nevertheless, thanks again | 21:24 |
| julio | where does gnome saves it's "themes" ? | 21:24 |
| julio | can anyone tell? i've installed dust and dust extras but cant remove one of them | 21:25 |
| phajas | gustin: Yep, networking and NetworkManager | 21:25 |
| gustin | phajas: no functionality difference, just keyboard layout and language, though those are two seperate things | 21:25 |
| gustin | phajas: ok, "sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop" | 21:25 |
| gustin | phajas: you may want to look for network manager in your package manager and remove it | 21:25 |
| phajas | gustin: Alright, sweet. Let me remove it too. | 21:25 |
| gustin | phajas: also, once the resolv.conf is changed, it should work | 21:26 |
| mhall119|work | why are you suggesting they remove NetworkManager? | 21:26 |
| gustin | phajas: I usually test with "host google.com" | 21:26 |
| mhall119|work | NetworkManager is a very good thing to have | 21:26 |
| arand | hsunda3: I don't know if some strange configs like raid lvm or specific bios... Might cause it to opt for grub-legacy, since grub2 doesn't support it... What you probably would want to do is to install the "grub" package (removing grub-pc) so you get the grub1 tools to work with in the install as well... | 21:26 |
| gustin | phajas: the IP I used was google's dns server. | 21:26 |
| === harisund_ is now known as harisund | ||

| mhall119|work | ah, ok | 21:27 |
| Dynetrekk | the hard-drive of my troubled computer seems to be full! http://paste.pocoo.org/show/188120/ any general advice? I thought 20GB would be plenty for the system files... | 21:27 |
| hsunda3 | arand: ah raid LVM .. there we go.. that's what caused it to intall grub1 .. my 64 bit machines have a RAID LVM partition setup | 21:27 |
| phajas | gustin: Success! Looks like we're routing out! After removing networkmanager from my package manager, is there anything else I have to do? | 21:27 |
| voicesinmyhead | iceroot, i just downloaded xfce.. during install my oc got shutdown... how do i search for the xfce file i downloaded n then install it ?? | 21:28 |
| gustin | phajas: you can put search domains in your resolv.conf. You can even go further and run a DNS server locally (this is what I do. But then I am weird that way). | 21:28 |
| gustin | phajas: if you have a static IP defined in /etc/network/interfaces then there should be nothing left you *have* to do | 21:29 |
| silentx | here is the report about the problem with the "Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501USB Wireless Adapter " http://pastebin.com/wj2caWDY | 21:29 |
| silentx | please help | 21:29 |
| gustin | phajas: I would install mtr, it is like traceroute but on steroids. It can be very handy for diagnosing network issues. | 21:30 |
| jh2os | what was wrong with the server yesterday? | 21:30 |
| iceroot | voicesinmyhead: downlaoded? | 21:30 |
| iceroot | voicesinmyhead: with apt-get? or with a browser? | 21:30 |
| phajas | gustin: How hard is it to put search domains in resolv.conf? Is it bad to access it while network-dependent services are running? I don't know if I'm up to snuff enough to run a DNS server, but if you have any wikis/tutorials to offer, I would love to see them. Also, I'll grab mtr, thanks for the heads up on that package | 21:30 |
| voicesinmyhead | iceroot, apt get | 21:30 |
| iceroot | voicesinmyhead: fix your hardware!! | 21:30 |
| iceroot | voicesinmyhead: i told you 10 times, you pc will even crash with xfce4 | 21:31 |
| __cheerios | what's the osx spotlight equivalent for ubuntu? | 21:31 |
| gustin | phajas: you can edit the resolv.conf at any time. the line should read "search domain1.tld domain2.tld domain3.tld" | 21:31 |
| === redghost is now known as ghost | ||

| === ghost is now known as redghost | ||
| iceroot | voicesinmyhead: /var/cache/apt/archives | 21:32 |
| gustin | phajas: of course replace with whatever domains you wish to have your machine try (it appends these if you just give a hostname with no domain, and then tries them in order until it gets a hit or it tries them all) | 21:32 |
| voicesinmyhead | iceroot, i used apt get.. it downloaded packages for xfce.. but it got shutdown during install... where can i find the xfce to install since it is already dwnloaded...plus... now i see two terminals under applications... one is the normal .. and the other shows terminal emulator..whats dat? | 21:32 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | What is the best way to remove all of KDE or kubuntu-desktop? I can't get to a browser at the moment. | 21:32 |

| ubottu | SpaceGhostC2C: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 21:33 |
| gustin | phajas: it depends. Most of the time some background tasks are still run. Usually for me 100% CPU means IO | 21:33 |

| voicesinmyhead | iceroot, it sasys /var/cache/apt/archives is a directory in shells.. how do i install it from shells? what commands?? | 21:33 |
| gustin | phajas: atop and htop can help here, atop can help you understand where the load is, if it isIO based, it will show that. From there systat and iotop to track down the specifics | 21:33 |
| phajas | gustin: Because I'm running a python app at 100%, and it worries me, I want it to still be responsive and everything. Also, do you mean "domain1.tld" like "google.com.tld"? | 21:34 |
| gustin | phajas: I don't think that iotop is packaged in 8.10. | 21:34 |
| gustin | phajas: no, I mean google.com | 21:34 |

| gustin | phajas: glad everything is working, I gotta head out now. Try reading up on TCP/IP (at the www.tcpipguide.com site) and read up on DNS. Most of the issues you will encounter will be helped by knowing these topics | 21:40 |

| Snoopy1 | Is it possible to burn data to a Blu-Ray disc using Ubuntu? | 21:40 |
| gustin | phajas: possibly. try using host to see if you can resolv names. mtr or traceroute to an IP is a handy way to see where the problem is | 21:41 |
| walla | MilitantPotato: should does it matter that they don't output the same resolution or whether they're mirrored or not? | 21:41 |
| phajas | gustin: Alright, sweet, I'll look into it, probably the same issue | 21:41 |
| datta | The system i use just shut down automatically and then it gave a dark black and light black screen, switched over between it until i turned it completely off and restarted it, and it works | 21:41 |
| gustin | phajas: later on you can play with iperf and hping3 and netcat. So much fun... well for some of us wnyway :) | 21:41 |

| gustin | gone for real this time | 21:46 |
| embrik | iceroot, is it possible to rip a blueray then? | 21:46 |
| mhall119|work | datta: of you can upgrade to 8.10, then 9.04, then 9.10 | 21:46 |
| datta | mhall119|work: i used to use 9.04 but it was really unstable | 21:46 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | devdz: do you know any languages? | 22:30 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | jrib: It's a mompc, trying to keep it minimal. | 22:30 |
| Bodsda | devdz: python is more freindly as a first language, but perl is much more involved and fun | 22:30 |
| jrib | SpaceGhostC2C: can't get more minimal than that! | 22:30 |
| Jordan_U | devdz: perl will corrupt you with incomprehesible power. | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | devdz: Emphasis on the "incoprehensible" :) | 22:31 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | jrib: agreed. | 22:31 |
| devdz | SpaceGhostC2C, yes i know C but im not perfect at it and i know PHP | 22:31 |

| SpaceGhostC2C | mustelo: human readable. | 22:46 |
| [V13]Axel | Grunge: You can't really scan a Windows partition for viruses from Ubuntu that I'm aware of. | 22:46 |
| chelz | SpaceGhostC2C: human readable probably would mean using a gui of some kind | 22:47 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | chelz: not at all. | 22:47 |
| mustelo | anyone about remapping ctrl+alt+f1? | 22:47 |
| mustelo | Grunge, clamav is the most common | 22:47 |
| chelz | SpaceGhostC2C: i mean in terms of tools that exist. people generally just learn what the stuff in cpuinfo means rather than finding another tool | 22:47 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | Grunge: I suggest clamav. | 22:47 |
| Grunge | clamav? | 22:47 |
| [V13]Axel | mustelo: There isn't one that I know of, but have you looked around on Google and the Ubuntu forums? | 22:48 |
| mkey | hey | 22:48 |
| chelz | Grunge: most use clamav, there is a proprietary av called avg that has a free linux version, it's not officially part of ubuntu or anything | 22:48 |
| SpaceGhostC2C | chelz: there is another tool, I've used it before. It just formats the info from /proc/cpuinfo | 22:48 |

| mustelo | Grunge, however you usually install software, search for clamav | 22:50 |
| Grunge | what about using th sudo command? | 22:50 |
| chelz | BlackDalek: you need to find the local IP of the ubuntu machine and enter that. you need to have shared folders already setup in ubuntu for that to work. you would type something like smb://192.168.1.2 | 22:50 |

| mustelo | Grunge, you probably won't need clamsmtp unless you're running a mailserver | 22:50 |

| BlackDalek | chelz - ok I know the IP, I think I was just missing the smb: part | 22:51 |
| Tru7h | BlackDalek: He's talking about local IP, not external. | 22:51 |
| chelz | BlackDalek: ah, yeah. in the connect to server i think you have to have a "smb://" or "afp://" or "ftp://" depending on the server you're trying to connect to. ubuntu uses smb. | 22:51 |

| Losha | Grunge: "Could not get lock" -- either some other program is running which uses packages, or you have a stale lockfile leftover from interrupting an earlier attempt which you'll need to remove. I'm not convinced clamav will disinfect a windows partition in all cases. You might wanna ask on #windows... | 23:10 |
| VCoolio | supermatt1000: drag and drop the .tar.gz into the appearance window? | 23:10 |
| Grunge | wow, completly forgot about avast running | 23:10 |
| BlackDalek | I can't seem to get "sudo smbpasswd -a (username)" to work.. it retruns "failed to add user (username)" | 23:11 |
| chelz | supermatt1000: What you want to do is first go to system > preferences > theme. Then open up the folder you downloaded the tar.gz theme archive to. To install the theme just drag and drop the tar.gz file from the file manager to the theme preferences window and that should install it for you. Hope that helped | 23:11 |
| BlackDalek | What am I doing wrong? Do I need to create a samba user first before I use smbpasswd? How do I do that? | 23:11 |
| supermatt1000 | VCoolio says it wont allow it i think its because its a new there | 23:11 |
| VCoolio | supermatt1000: extract it and put the folder that contains "gtk-2.0" folder and index.theme file etc in ~/.themes, that's the same | 23:12 |

| chelz | BlackDalek: ah nope. the user you want to log in as | 23:20 |
| gustin | BlackDalek: you can synchronise your regular user and password with samba, but usually they are stored seperately | 23:20 |

| jiffe1 | hmm, I just updated 9.10 and there seems to be a version mismatch between the userland and kernel module portions of drbd | 23:23 |

| underdog5004 | ok, thanks | 23:24 |
| Boondoklife | gustin: After a bit then create the account again. That is what I had to go through in the begining. But now it just works. Had to do a little monkeying with lucid to get it to work, but it is now. | 23:24 |

| IdleOne | already* | 23:32 |
| loveless | chelz: any ideas? | 23:32 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, - oh ok | 23:32 |
| chelz | loveless: yes, this should fix it: http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-setup-google-public-dns-in.html | 23:32 |
| crc32 | chelz: I used to use sysv-rc-conf back in 2007 but every thing got screwed up when ubuntu 9.10 came out. | 23:32 |
| gringochapin | Hi all. questions for those with experience running a jam. How long do they usually last? How long should they last at a minimum? | 23:33 |
| loveless | chelz: i appreciate the link, but that's nothing to do with the video D: internet works fine | 23:33 |
| chelz | loveless: oops sorry | 23:34 |

| zaizafoon | hello | 23:34 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: what state/country are you in? | 23:34 |
| scooby | whats the command to change my nick? | 23:34 |
| zaizafoon | i ned help with my mint dist. | 23:35 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: I ask because the LoCo team in your area is probably going to run one. | 23:35 |
| Coppered | before i install Ubuntu over my Vista.....should i set the BIOs of the computer to any special settings? | 23:35 |
| mneptok | !mint | zaizafoon | 23:35 |
| ubottu | zaizafoon: 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) | 23:35 |
| chelz | loveless: what is the model number and brand of your computer? | 23:35 |
| mneptok | scooby: /nick $NEWNICK | 23:35 |

| chelz | Coppered: some bioses can get to a menu to choose the boot device by pressing something like "esc". most would tell you to verify your boot priority has CD higher than your hard drive | 23:36 |
| gringochapin | Yes, they are going to run one. I'm in Iowa. I'm helping to organize it, and no one here has much experience with them. | 23:36 |
| Coppered | ok fairenough so nothing then special to do there... | 23:36 |
| Coppered | yhnx | 23:36 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: the ubuntu-qc team is doing one let me link you. | 23:36 |
| chelz | loveless: follow "Karmic (9.10) - New Method" here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo | 23:37 |

| crc32 | Is any one here even useing 9.10? I got the feeling I got suckered into downloading it. | 23:37 |
| zaizafoon | i installed linux without languag packages .... how to add my lang. package? | 23:37 |
| chelz | loveless: also besides "Enabling 1366x768 Resolution" (it is outdated), you might find this page helpful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/AO751h | 23:37 |
| Mage_Dude | crc32: Yeah. 9.10 is fine? | 23:37 |
| gringochapin | awe cool. Didn't know the QC folks were doing one. | 23:38 |
| chelz | crc32: the majority of people here are probably using it :P | 23:38 |
| generic_user | I changed my user password but now the NetworkManager Applet keeps requesting my old password whenever I connect to wifi. How do I change the password for NetworkManager Applet? Running 9.04 | 23:38 |
| faron | Hello everybody.Hopefully,all are well today.I need some help.I am currently running Xubuntu 8.04LTS & I woould like to install the new Firefox but,at this point I'm just lost as to what to do.I have downloaded the package onto my desktop & that's as far as I've gotten.Is there anybody here who can guide me from this point in the installation process ? | 23:38 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: http://ur1.ca/ohmm there are no times but the last one was from 11-5 and 11-7 | 23:38 |
| loveless | im off fellas, thanks for the help chelzz :] | 23:38 |
| chelz | generic_user: "All password management in network manager is done through gnome-keyring. So you will have to change it the System -> Admin -> Keyring Manager utility." | 23:38 |
| Desciero | How do I view my terminal log? I installed a program from the terminal, but it just exited unexpectedly mid-install. Want to see what the problem is. | 23:39 |
| crc32 | So why does it seem to be that no one knows how to enable or disable services at boot. All I'm seeing are post to the effect of "run the command service foo stop each time you boot." I'm like so theres no tools to configure this a boot up anymore? | 23:39 |
| gringochapin | IdleOne: That was the quebec. Wrong country. :) | 23:39 |
| dr-know | chelz:ok i test this and say you | 23:39 |
| dr-know | chelz:thank you | 23:39 |
| chelz | dr-know: did that work? is it working? | 23:40 |
| gringochapin | IdleOne: err that was the quebec team. I'm in Iowa. | 23:40 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: I link as an example :) but take a look here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam | 23:40 |
| dr-know | chelz:i must reboot pc | 23:40 |
| generic_user | chelz: There is nothing called Keyring Manager in my System -> Admin list | 23:40 |
| chelz | dr-know: alright. good luck. | 23:40 |
| mneptok | crc32: man update-rc.d | 23:40 |
| Desciero | Do you know where I can view my terminal log? | 23:40 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: if you scroll down some there will be more info on how to run a jam | 23:41 |
| chelz | generic_user: Applications -> Passwords and Encryption keys | 23:41 |
| gringochapin | IdleOne: Yeah, I've seen that page. But I don't see anything on there that talks about how long they usually last. | 23:41 |
| chelz | generic_user: then Edit -> Preferences -> Select "login" and click the "Change unlock password" button | 23:42 |
| gringochapin | IdleOne: Just wanted some idea of that from folks who have been to them. | 23:42 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: really I would say it is up to you and the people who attend, you don't want to go to many hours or you will burn out. I would say 5-6 hours per day would be good | 23:42 |
| Losha | crc32: because ubuntu messed about with service stuff and made a hash of it. See also bum (boot up manager)... | 23:42 |

| IdleOne | gringochapin: SEMI-PROTIP keep it fun :) | 23:43 |
| gringochapin | IdoleOne: Thanks. That's kinda' what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. We're going to only have one day, as were having a hard enough time trying a place to hold it just for one day, let alone more than that. | 23:43 |
| gringochapin | err trying to find a place. | 23:44 |
| generic_user | chelz: great, thanks for the help | 23:44 |
| professional-are | hello, my dvd drive wont open when i push the open button located at the top of m desktop, or when i push the eject button on my keyboard, help please, thankyou | 23:44 |
| gringochapin | IdoleOne: For sure. Thanks. | 23:44 |
| grkblood13 | how do i change the y axis for a chart in openoffice to go from 0-1 | 23:44 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: make sure you add your jam info to the appropriate wikis :) | 23:44 |
| Colrol | Is there a simple script/command to clean up boot items to only list the latest kernel? | 23:44 |
| gringochapin | Yeah, will do. | 23:44 |
| rafael_ | gnome-power-manager does not suspend my laptop when critical battery porcentage is reached | 23:45 |
| chelz | Colrol: i'm pretty sure you still have to manually uninstall older kernels then have grub regenerate its config | 23:45 |
| rafael_ | PowerDevil (in KDE) dies it | 23:45 |
| Colrol | chelz: alright | 23:45 |
| chelz | Colrol: uninstall with synaptic i mean. usually good to leave one or two older kernels, just in case. | 23:46 |
| coldfire | is it really benifical to create a seperate /home partition if you are using only one distro and backup periodicly to another partition? | 23:46 |
| Colrol | How about getting X to only boot to stage3? | 23:46 |
| Losha | professional-are: is it still mounted by any chance...? | 23:46 |
| Colrol | Or is it Stage1? | 23:46 |
| IdleOne | gringochapin: you could also ask for more advice/info in #ubuntu-locoteams | 23:46 |
| chelz | coldfire: no. separate home is only really used when using many different distros and switching between them regularly | 23:47 |
| chelz | Colrol: you are probably thinking of init runlevels | 23:48 |
| coldfire | chelz: it doesnt make your system more vunerable to coruption because of permissions ? | 23:48 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | coldfire: I personally have a WD MyPassport 250GB USB that I backup my Ubuntu installation with Clonezilla. And then I manually copy over my home contents regularly if i get a new DVD that i rip or a new CD that I rip etc. | 23:48 |
| chelz | coldfire: it does, but people doing that have to accept the risk | 23:48 |
| VCoolio | coldfire: it can be useful if you want to clean install new ubuntu releases without restoring your home stuff and app configurations | 23:48 |
| IdleOne | chelz: it is also used for when you want to do fresh installs of the new release and don't want to have to do backups | 23:48 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | coldfire: Ive never really used a seperate home. | 23:48 |
| crc32 | so with update-rc.d is there a way to see the status of a service without digging aropund in the /etc/rc?.d directory? | 23:49 |
| Losha | coldfire: it's handy when you upgrade, and for backups, but it's by no means essential, especially if you aren't messing around with different versions/releases/distros... | 23:49 |
| professional-are | Losha, i dont know | 23:49 |
| Gnea | okay, I tried xset s off and some sort of screensaver STILL kicks in in the middle of a fullscreen game. this is wrong. | 23:49 |
| chelz | IdleOne: how does ubuntu handle between versions with a separate home? i've been thinking about doing that but i'm really not sure how the legacy config files would work out | 23:49 |
| coldfire | Thanks all | 23:49 |
| Losha | professional-are: open a terminal and type 'sudo df -h' and see if it mentions the cdrom... | 23:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | chelz: You have to manually partition and specify that you have a seperate home partition so it knows to pick it up and use it. | 23:50 |
| professional-are | Losha, no it does not | 23:50 |
| IdleOne | chelz: I have never had any issues, your milleage may vary. I don't see why the configs would change so much from one version to next that it would break things | 23:50 |
| chelz | crc32: i'm not sure what you want to do. this is sorta related http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-disable-unwanted-services-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 23:51 |
| crc32 | seems odd. update-rc.d mangled the /etc/rc.d/ K and S scripts which is sequential and doesn't feel like the whole event driven nature of upstart | 23:51 |
| chelz | IdleOne: do you only use it for upgrades or for btween distros? | 23:51 |
| Losha | professional-are: does your drive have a pinhole in the front? | 23:51 |
| sine | what is this ubuntu one folder i see | 23:51 |
| IdleOne | chelz: I bleed ubuntu brown :) | 23:51 |
| dtcrshr | i need an alternative player to audacious, that works with jack. any clues? | 23:51 |
| sine | is it 2gb backup ? | 23:51 |
| sine | for important files | 23:51 |
| dotblank3_ | dtcrshr: Is that a sound recorder? | 23:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: Its like having a 2GB hard drive online and its free and you can use it for anything. | 23:52 |
| sine | sweet | 23:52 |
| Losha | crc32: did you see my msg about the startup stuff being a mess? | 23:52 |
| dtcrshr | dotblank, no, a sound player | 23:52 |
| chelz | IdleOne: do you ever get prompted with anything that there's a config mismatch or that older configs have to be replaced? or is it usually all automated? | 23:52 |
| professional-are | Losha, no it does not | 23:52 |
| IdleOne | sine: it is 2GB of free space you can use to backup any files you want | 23:52 |
| sine | so anything i put in that folder will get stored online | 23:52 |
| dtcrshr | dotblank3_, | 23:52 |
| crc32 | for what ever reason chell the "Services" menu item is missing from my 9.10 install. :( | 23:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: Yes | 23:52 |
| sine | and if i delete it in that folder it will delete online ? | 23:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: And can be accessed on any PC anywhere that you might be using. | 23:52 |
| Losha | professional-are: are you sure? Nearly all of them do, as an emergency release mechanism.... | 23:52 |
| awaad | Why ping is a server/client connection not a pear to pear one ? | 23:52 |
| IdleOne | chelz: nope never. I have done upgrades and fresh installs and use the same /home. no issues | 23:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: Yes it works just like a hard drive. | 23:53 |
| sine | cool | 23:53 |
| professional-are | Losha, i checked right now it doesnt | 23:53 |
| hiexpo | what is the latest kernal for 9.10 | 23:53 |
| chelz | IdleOne: huh.. what versions have you gone between? | 23:53 |
| sine | thats a nice little touch | 23:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | hiexpo: go to packages.ubuntu.com and search for linux-image in karmic | 23:53 |
| IdleOne | hiexpo: 2.6.31-20 | 23:53 |
| sine | i mean i know its not anything mindblowing but its another nice touch | 23:53 |
| professional-are | Losha, i know because my laptop had one but not this desktop | 23:53 |
| Losha | professional-are: don't know what to tell you. Every single one of mine has it. Check in #hardware ? | 23:54 |
| sine | I am effin loving this ubuntu and im glad i can finally hang my windows up in the closet | 23:54 |
| professional-are | Losha, how do i do that | 23:54 |
| Losha | professional-are: just /join #hardware and ask in that channel.... | 23:54 |
| hiexpo | IdleOne, - thanks just wanted to make sure cause i have extra repos, enabled | 23:54 |
| chelz | crc32: http://guvnr.com/pc/ubuntu-disable-services/ | 23:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: Theres a big new release coming soon too. 10.04 LTS Something to look forward to. | 23:54 |
| crc32 | Losha: Yes I did and I reached the same conclusion when I first downloaded ubuntu 9.10 but every one on this channel keeps acting like nothings wrong with it and that its really intuitive. But I'm getting the impression that 9.10 users don't manage services at all but rather let them all run. Example I want proftpd installed for when I need it but I don't want it to always start at boot for reasons that should be obvious(Security stand point). | 23:55 |
| IdleOne | chelz: I have been upgrading since 5.10 and also doing fresh installs. last 4 versions with same /home | 23:55 |
| professional-are | Losha, it says canot join its invite only | 23:55 |
| chelz | IdleOne: how do you usually handle reinstalling stuff you had installed before? | 23:55 |
| IdleOne | !clone > chelz | 23:56 |
| ubottu | chelz, please see my private message | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | profesional-are: if you're referring to some keys on the keyboard to eject the dvd/cd drive... .those are not based on mappings to the bioos, they're usually OS dependent for the key-binding/mapping, yes, I've seen them before, I know apples have one | 23:56 |
| Losha | professional-are: sigh. Well in your place, I would shutdown the machine, making sure it powers off, and hope that when you power it back up, it resets the drive and the eject button starts working... | 23:56 |
| crc32 | sysv-rc-conf doesn't seem to work on karmic. It claims the service is disable but it still starts on boot. <Rolls Eyes>. | 23:56 |
| Typos_King | I guess you can set a keybinding on it, mapped to 'eject /dev/dvd' | 23:56 |
| chelz | IdleOne: i've seen stuff like that, including stuff with dpkg -l, but it just seems like that could lead to a world of hurt with packages having different names | 23:56 |
| seanbrystone2 | Does Microsoft Office 2007 work in Wine? | 23:57 |
| dotblank3_ | seanbrystone2: yes | 23:57 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 23:57 |
| IdleOne | chelz: the package names very rarely if ever change names | 23:57 |
| chelz | crc32: you'll probably have to talk to the sysv-rc-conf people about that. you could try other tools in that guide in the meantime. | 23:57 |
| seanbrystone2 | dotblank, ok ty :) | 23:57 |
| dotblank3_ | !wine | 23:57 |
| ubottu | 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 | 23:57 |
| crc32 | update-rc.d seems to work for proftpd | 23:57 |
| chelz | IdleOne: is that clone method how you reinstall stuff? | 23:57 |
| clickme | seanbrystone yes, but i think only sp1 | 23:57 |
| IdleOne | chelz: from one distro to the next the names change but within the same distro not normally | 23:57 |
| crc32 | no to see if it works for ipp | 23:57 |
| professional-are | Losha, lol thats what i did and it didnt work, thats why its weird | 23:57 |
| professional-are | Losha, i guess il use windows to burn my isos | 23:58 |
| IdleOne | chelz: yes I have used it before. | 23:58 |
| seanbrystone2 | clickme, ok ill poke around later with it thanks :) | 23:58 |
| Losha | professional-are: what brand/model is the drive, so I can avoid it in the future? | 23:58 |
| Losha | crc32: tried 'bum'... | 23:58 |
| chelz | IdleOne: no issues? at all? | 23:58 |
| IdleOne | nope | 23:58 |
| chelz | interesting | 23:58 |
| chelz | i just might try that | 23:58 |
| professional-are | Losha, i typed sudo eject and it worked | 23:58 |
| professional-are | :] | 23:58 |
| professional-are | thanks | 23:58 |
| clickme | is this room so busy sometimes that it freezes | 23:59 |
| sine | change root password ? | 23:59 |
| chelz | !root | sine | 23:59 |
| ubottu | sine: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:59 |
| Losha | professional-are: good, still doesn't excuse having no pinhole. Cheap-ass hardware.... | 23:59 |
| IdleOne | chelz: the seperate home, for me at least, is more about not having to backup my media files when doing a fresh install. I don't really mind having to re-install apps and such if I have to | 23:59 |
| crc32 | I'm guessing this is a transitional bork that will hopefully be eliminated later on. But sooner or later better more predictable control will need to be given back to the admin. If the init.d method wasn't broke well Then don't break it. | 23:59 |
| clickme | well i get dl | 23:59 |
| sine | hahahaha | 23:59 |
| sine | matrix touche | 23:59 |
