| sine | I want to change THE password, i didnt realise i was setting the root password when the wubi installer started | 00:00 |
| chelz | IdleOne: ah, yeah that could work for me. i've held back upgrading ubuntu for a while just because things seem to be working and i don't want to go through some headache of stuff not working. | 00:00 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sine: Yeah use sudo unless you want to enable the root account login. But you dont need to do that at all. | 00:00 |
| Losha | crc32: it's not the first blunder ubuntu has made. grub2, new gdm, sound. The list goes on... | 00:01 |
| Typos_King | Losha: afaik, apple doesn't put any pinholes to any of their optical drives, external or internal, bad decision IMO, but yes, it's so | 00:01 |
| IdleOne | chelz: if you don't need to upgrade then don't :) | 00:01 |
| chelz | sine: using the command "passwd" on a terminal by itself should work | 00:01 |
| Losha | Typos_King: I can't imagine it's anything but a cost saving thing... | 00:01 |
| clickme | what client should i use [currently using empathy] | 00:01 |

| dotblank3_ | Empathy is awesome | 00:01 |
| dotblank3_ | I love it | 00:02 |
| seanbrystone2 | how do i fix suspend issues? Black screen of death + blinking cursor + keyboard totally locked up, Ubuntu 9.10 on a fairly new computer | 00:02 |
| chelz | IdleOne: welll a lot of things i've looked over wanting to do require newer stuff. i tried to install some haskell stuff recently and wound up upgrading libc and had to spend a day uninstalling and reinstalling packages until things were right again. upgrading would probably be good for me. | 00:02 |
| dotblank3_ | "Share my desktop" is the best thing since sliced bread | 00:02 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | seanbrystone2: Your not the only one who noticed that 9.10 is heavily broken. I too have noticed this. | 00:03 |
| sine | not as good as "share my wife" | 00:03 |
| Typos_King | I've used a macpro, the dvd drive was just a plain slot, not even a plate on it, just a slot on the front-side of the MB, I used an external too, usb, same it was just a square with a hole, no pinhole, no plate either, or tray, just a small rubber-like innerdoor | 00:03 |
| crc32 | Losha: Yea It felt like I was learning Linux all over again when I installed 9.10. I panicked when I saw all the ".mod" files in /boot/grub as it almost felt root kit looking at all those formiliar commands in that directory, but later assumed its supposed to be a rescue boot or something. | 00:03 |
| chelz | LinuxGuy2009: 'anecdotal evidence' is not evidence | 00:03 |
| crc32 | They are rescue binaries right and not a root kit? LOL | 00:03 |
| Desciero | hiexpo: How can I view a log of a failed terminal package install? | 00:03 |
| seanbrystone2 | no no i never said ubuntu 9.10 was heavily broken. | 00:03 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Who said anything about evidence. | 00:03 |
| Losha | crc32: my understanding is that they are modules loaded and run by grub, and it's been done to make grub2 more modular. I'm ok with that, but the scripts which run to generate grub.cfg are a holy mess... | 00:04 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | seanbrystone2: No what Im saying is that the devs knew that 9.10 would have major issues. So its not suprising at all that you have these issues. | 00:04 |
| seanbrystone2 | ah | 00:05 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | They threw in tons of new stuff for preop for LTS | 00:05 |
| seanbrystone2 | yeah, well theres that :) | 00:05 |
| crc32 | seanbrystone2: I'm not sure if its broken or not but it has plenty of suprises to make an experienced linux admin go "WTF" | 00:05 |
| sine | I ran red alert 2 in wine yesterday and the computer rebooted after wine crashed | 00:05 |
| clickme | grub2 is really a pain, even boot spash is a pain | 00:05 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Yeah I went right back to Jaunty. Very happy with that release. | 00:05 |
| sine | i didnt think linux crashed | 00:05 |
| hiexpo | Desciero, it should be in your sys log go to system/adm log file viewer | 00:05 |
| Coded1 | hello all | 00:06 |
| Typos_King | allo | 00:06 |
| Losha | crc32: seanbrystone2: well let's be fair, you don't get new features without bugs. That's why I run 8.04 LTS. | 00:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Correct. | 00:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | But 8.04 is older than dirt for me. | 00:06 |
| Losha | LinuxGuy2009: what is that, some kind of weird computer ageism? | 00:07 |
| clickme | seanbrystone linus mint is pretty good | 00:07 |

| === SScript_2 is now known as n3w4r3z[AwAy] | ||
| LinuxGuy2009 | Debian stable has newer stuff than Ubuntu LTS does currently. Thats old. | 00:07 |
| seanbrystone2 | yeah but i look at it like, you can try those other distros that have 100 users in their chat channel, 99 of them are snoozing or AFK, that's what makes Ubuntu so great , huge irc channel, huge community for helping ETC :) | 00:07 |
| clickme | seanbrystone true | 00:07 |
| jrib | !away > n3w4r3z[AwAy] | 00:08 |
| ubottu | n3w4r3z[AwAy], please see my private message | 00:08 |
| crc32 | Losha: I'm ok with grun being what ever since its low level and I don't typically screw around at that low a level but I did expect to see menu.lst at least in the grub directory where you edit the file and expect it to work. Instead you edit another file and run update-grub which to me feels like "lilo" all over again. | 00:08 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | seanbrystone2: The sad truth to that statement is partially due to Ubuntu having some many problems at times also. But not always. | 00:08 |
| Coded1 | im running 9.10 and when I copy folders (local - local or local - usb flash) my whole system crawls. Its a 2.53GHz w/512mb ram, and not usually that slow. When I run htop it shows 13% used but seems the kernel is taking the rest. any ideas? | 00:08 |
| Losha | seanbrystone2: stable, cheap, new-featured: choose any *two*.... | 00:08 |
| dtcrshr | hello, iv installed xmms2 via synaptic, but i got no links on the start menu. on terminal i call xmms2 but it gots me a comamand line | 00:08 |
| dtcrshr | how do i create a shortcut for the xmms gui | 00:08 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: did you restart your panel? | 00:09 |
| dtcrshr | how do i do that | 00:09 |
| clickme | Coded1: might be you hard drive/usb flash dying | 00:09 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, without restarting gnome | 00:09 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: either logout and back in or just send SIGHUP to gnome-panel | 00:09 |
| Coded1 | clickme, should I be getting errors in /var/log somewhere? | 00:09 |
| jebba | hey, I have a script that launches `apt-get install mysql-server` automatically when a node is created. But it prompts for what you want the root mysql password to be. I just want to leave it blank. I did -y and --force-yes. I also want to do this "headless"/automated, so I don't have to hit enter on that screen. How can this be done? I don't see an option to apt-get for non-interactive mode. | 00:10 |
| clickme | dtcrshr: u can always log off and log back in | 00:10 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Coded1: 9.04 might be better for you until 10.04 LTS comes out. 9.10 is buggy for many users. | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, i got plenty of apps opened, will i lost my job? | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | actually, im transmitting to a webcast | 00:10 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: if you logout yes, if you send SIGHUP to gnome-panel, no | 00:10 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Coded1: Many things were added in preperation for LTS. | 00:10 |
| crc32 | Losha: I'm ok with ubunu I guess for a desktop environment so long as it doesn't keep changing so fast. But in production I'm sticking with Debian or CentOS or fedora. I don't trust ubunto after 9.10 came out. | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | now that they areusing the microfone i got no problem | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | audacious is cracking, so i got xmms | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | cant reboot | 00:10 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, whats the terminal command to send it to gnome panel | 00:11 |
| Coded1 | can I down grade? | 00:11 |
| clickme | Coded1: maybe, i'm but i had those problems and usually is a bad drive, the OS drive thats | 00:11 |
| Losha | crc32: I don't even mind the update thing, but the scripts which you have to edit to make changes are impenetrable & look like they were written by an amateur... | 00:11 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Coded1: Dont think so unless you have an old system backup sitting around which I assume you dont. | 00:11 |
| clickme | Coded1: try running the live session and copy and paste to the usb flash from there and see | 00:11 |
| andrew__ | Is there any way to make the terminal only keep the result of the last command, and the command prompt? | 00:11 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: pkill -HUP gnome-panel I suppose. | 00:11 |
| Coded1 | clickme, will do | 00:11 |
| dtcrshr | thanks | 00:11 |
| clickme | Question | 00:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Coded1: Yeah I think you can change the setting in the terminal profile. | 00:12 |
| jrib | andrew__: what? | 00:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | oops sorry | 00:12 |
| andrew__ | jrib: Erm I want to keep the buffer quite clear, it just gets cluttered real easy | 00:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | andrew__: Yeah I think you can change the setting in the terminal profile. | 00:12 |
| Typos_King | andrew__ what? | 00:12 |
| Coded1 | LinuxGuy2009, thanks for the input | 00:12 |
| jrib | andrew__: you want to modify your prompt? | 00:12 |
| clickme | how come the Panels always stay on top os apps even after you auto hide them guys | 00:12 |
| dtcrshr | hm.. no xmms | 00:12 |
| dtcrshr | i must have missed something | 00:13 |
| andrew__ | Oh nevermind :p | 00:13 |
| dtcrshr | any other suggestions? i need a substitute to audacious, an mp3 player that runs with jack | 00:13 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: I didn't claim you would see a shortcut after restarting gnome-panel, just that you should to see if it shows up. Did it show up? | 00:13 |
| jrib | !who | dtcrshr | 00:13 |
| ubottu | dtcrshr: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:13 |
| crc32 | Losha: How long did you spend trying to disable the splash screen, Graphical startup and gdm. If you did disable gdm | 00:13 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: audacious works fine for me | 00:13 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: You trying to do multitrack recording? | 00:13 |
| brjann | jebba: you can try the "yes" command, which repeatedly outputs its argument (by default, 'y') followed by a newline until it's killed | 00:13 |
| dtcrshr | Typos_King, no, im broadcasting | 00:14 |
| crc32 | for me I'd raher see startup messages rather then a crawling graphical bar. | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | a live cast with both enterviews and audio | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | the mic is jsut fine | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | but audacious is cracking as hell | 00:14 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Tried ardour? | 00:14 |
| Typos_King | .... I see | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | any audio | 00:14 |
| FloodBot2 | dtcrshr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | im just looking for an anternative to use jack | 00:14 |
| Losha | crc32: I didn't. I run 8.04 LTS i.e. still running grub1. I boot into 9.10 occasionally, mainly so I can support for it here, but I do it from grub1 | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | dont xmms has a gui? | 00:14 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Cracking might be bad Jack settings. Need a higher buffer etc. More latency to compensate. | 00:14 |
| brjann | jebba: so e.g. for yes | aptitude install foo , yes would answer y<ENTER> for any prompt it encountered | 00:14 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: so.... when you broadcast using whatever server.... audacious is giving a crackling on the playbacks? | 00:14 |
| dtcrshr | im using icecast | 00:15 |
| dtcrshr | on a remote server | 00:15 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: didn't you just say you ran it on the command-line? | 00:15 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, but it dont do nothing besides the list of comands | 00:15 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: so, you are NOT broadcasting... you're just playing a stream | 00:15 |
| craigbass1976 | I want a headless router box. Is ubuntu the answer? I ran cent for a couple years and the hard drive quit, just not sure which way I want to go | 00:15 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: what exactly did you install? | 00:15 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Does audacious crackle with any other files besides the ones your recording? | 00:15 |
| WinterSky | Just wondering about Ubuntu: I was watching a video file and I moved it on accident while it was playing and it still played. Does Xine\Mplayer\Ubuntu Buffer the video or does Ubuntu let the application know where it was moved to so it can continue playing? | 00:15 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, well, the recordings are fine | 00:16 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | WinterSky: You can move the windows whereever you want. | 00:16 |
| teage | i can not remove the universal access preferences icon from my panel, i have disabled it from startup applications preferences and rebooted, still there. I have removed it from startup applications preferences, still there. can anyone help me? | 00:16 |
| dtcrshr | te problem is on the playing, im using the audacious tracks as a bg for instance | 00:16 |
| jebba | brjann: ya, well, it really just needs to hit <enter>, not say "y", as i want to leave the password blank. But that seems like quite a kludge. How is it done for cronned`apt-get dist-upgrades` on boxes? This is basically the same situation. | 00:16 |
| WinterSky | LinuxGuy2009 It wasn't a window. It was a media file. | 00:16 |
| jrib | WinterSky: file stays in memory until nothing is using it | 00:17 |
| Losha | craigbass1976: ubuntu will work for that, but it probably only makes sense if you are already familiar with it. If not, there are distros specifically designed for running as headless routers which are tailored to that function and probably will give you better performance & easier config. | 00:17 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | WinterSky: Oh you mean you moved a file out of a folder while it was playing? | 00:17 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: sooo... you're doing Tracks mixing? | 00:17 |
| WinterSky | LinuxGuy2009 Yes | 00:17 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: why ot just get Jokosher for that? | 00:17 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, xmms2 command on the terminal shows a bunch of commands, add, play but none to show me the gui | 00:17 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | WinterSky: It may have tracked the move but I sorta dought it. When the buffer ran out it would have stopped probebly. | 00:17 |
| jrib | WinterSky: a "move" operation doesn't actually move a file in memory anyway | 00:18 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: you didn't answer my qusetion | 00:18 |
| WinterSky | LinuxGuy2009 Yeah the buffer was probably full. | 00:18 |
| dtcrshr | Typos_King, well, im using a two track usb audio board, with 2 mics in it. with this i got audacious also playing a sound for bg | 00:18 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, i didnt understood your question | 00:18 |
| WinterSky | jrib: Yeah. So it probably was loaded into ram\buffered. | 00:18 |
| craigbass1976 | Losha, I'm very familiar with ubuntu; been a happy user since dapper. I've just always used centOS for servers, not ubuntu. Well, once I had a xubuntu webserver, but it was temporary | 00:18 |
| jrib | WinterSky: no, that's not what is happening | 00:18 |
| brjann | jebba: then you could use yes "" | ... , but it is a kludge, i agree. i'm not sure how the cron jobs do it, though, sorry | 00:18 |
| jrib | WinterSky: you can even delete the file if you want | 00:19 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Why are you using Jack you running multiple streams to one set of outputs or need some feature of jack that a normal playback wont do>? | 00:19 |
| jrib | WinterSky: it won't actually get deleted until nothing is using it | 00:19 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Jack is mostly used for near Zero latency for multitrack recording and stuff like that or complex routing features. | 00:19 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, im using complex routing features | 00:19 |
| dtcrshr | i need patchage, jackeq, and jackrack | 00:19 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Ardour has multiple tracks and is more than likely gonna be better for what you need. | 00:20 |
| dtcrshr | i pass the microfones over to a compressor and eq onjackrack before i get then on air | 00:20 |
| Losha | WinterSky: when you move a file (at least within the same filesystem), the filehandle the program uses to access it remains valid until the process closes the file. This is true even if you delete the file. It's just how it works... | 00:20 |
| dtcrshr | i dont need to record separated tracks LinuxGuy2009, audacious does the job with the final product | 00:20 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: what exactly did you install? | 00:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Well if audacious isnt working then its not working right? | 00:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Cant have it both ways. | 00:20 |
| Typos_King | ehhhe, it works for me :P | 00:21 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, i went to synaptic, and installed xmms2 and xmms2-plugin-jack | 00:21 |
| Losha | craigbass1976: well as I say, at a pinch, any reasonable distro will serve, but you might as well get one designed for the function. If it comes with a web configuration interface, so much the better... | 00:21 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: you need to install some sort of client for xmms2 then afaix | 00:21 |
| jrib | afaik even | 00:21 |
| Hypnoz | if an nfs mount is 755 owned by www-data:www-data, what permission would allow any user to touch any file owned by www-data:www-data? | 00:22 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, hm. so xmms is just a service? can you suggest a front end for xmms2? | 00:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Losha, ubuntu is one disc... That's one plus. :) | 00:22 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, audacious is just playng the bg, i cutted it off right now | 00:22 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: I cannot, but yes xmms2 is now client/server based | 00:22 |
| WinterSky | Losha So it just updates the file handle of the new "Location\Folder Path" even though the file hasn't moved physically on the drive. And the application uses that File Handle that points to the file on the drive? | 00:22 |
| Desciero | hiexpo: yeah but which one is it in?? | 00:22 |
| dtcrshr | so they are just talking on the microfone, no audio on bg | 00:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Hypnoz, 775 as long as the user in questio is in the www-data group | 00:22 |
| Losha | craigbass1976: the router distros are even tinier I think you'll find... | 00:22 |
| dtcrshr | jrib, well. besides audacious, is there a good gui player that talks with jack? | 00:22 |
| craigbass1976 | Hypnoz, are you trying to give yourself access (full run of the mill) to the /var/www directory? | 00:23 |
| Hypnoz | craigbass1976: its not in the group, but still can | 00:23 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: if xmms2 is one, why don't just use that? Search synaptic for a gui or read it's official site, I'm sure they will recommend one | 00:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Ardour does. Its made for Jack use. | 00:23 |
| Hypnoz | no, nfs export has this ability, but netapp share doesn't have same ability | 00:23 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, i know. we use ardour to multi track recording | 00:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: So why not use what works then? Why complicate things? | 00:23 |
| dtcrshr | but ardour is not quite simple to change mp3 tracks | 00:23 |
| jrib | dtcrshr: personally, I use mpd | 00:24 |
| craigbass1976 | Hypnoz, who owns the directory on the machine doing the sharing out? | 00:24 |
| teage | and its not listed in running processes | 00:24 |
| teage | what gives? | 00:24 |
| Hypnoz | www-data:www-data | 00:24 |
| dtcrshr | lemme put that again. Im using this computer as a radio station. i got 2 mics in, and play audio together on it. i use jack features, so i can use jackeq and jackrack to treat the microfones and to use volumes on the mics | 00:24 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Well MP3 players dont need Jack. Jack is meant for latency issues and routing. MP3 playback doesnt require any of that. | 00:24 |
| jrib | WinterSky: maybe http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-speakingunix14/ is helpful for you | 00:24 |
| dtcrshr | i just need a good decent mp3 player to do it together | 00:24 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Ardour would solve your problem. Just need to learn to use it. | 00:25 |
| Ahmuck | i've got a problem with an nvidia chipset eth incrementing eth1, eth2, etc to 128 where the mac address changes everytime | 00:25 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, i understand. but i cant choose between the mic treatment jack gives me and simple mp3 playback | 00:25 |
| Losha | WinterSky: a local 'move' doesn't actually move anything, it just changes the name entry in the directory, so the filehandle in the program still points to the same (valid) data. Even when you delete a file, the deletion is pending until all open filehandles are closed so the file will continue to play... | 00:25 |
| Typos_King | dtcrshr: there's a gxmms2 | 00:25 |
| DcMeese | How do I get an external monitor to work with an ubuntu 9.10 latitude cpx. | 00:25 |
| Ahmuck | i understand this is a result of a bad forcedeth driver | 00:25 |
| DcMeese | ? | 00:25 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: I can tell you just dont know how to operate Ardour. Its a full studio environment. | 00:26 |
| dtcrshr | Typos_King, THANKS!!! | 00:26 |
| Ahmuck | this problem has beeen around, but i'm not sure how to solve it. after reading, it keeps getting posted as "won't fix" on the ubuntu bug reporting | 00:26 |
| neen | hm. anyone know if it's possible to make a cronjob that runs every 15 min but _not_ at midnight (and by midnight i mean exactly 0, not 0:15) | 00:26 |
| Ahmuck | any reason ubuntu won't fix this bug? | 00:26 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, so i would use ardour, and put audacious as an input to a channel? | 00:26 |
| WinterSky | Losha: Yeah. That's what I meant if It sounded weird. | 00:26 |
| Losha | WinterSky: we're are in violent agreement :-) | 00:26 |
| jrib | Ahmuck: ask the person who changed it to won't fix for an explanation. | 00:26 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: No you throw audacious out the window and use Ardour. | 00:26 |
| dr-know | chelz: thank you my friend !!!!!! my problem solved.oh my god!!! thank you | 00:27 |
| WinterSky | Losha: :) | 00:27 |

| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, and how do i put multiple mp3 to play on ardour? | 00:27 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: Its a whole studio what more could you ask for? | 00:27 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, and change the order?and put other music ? | 00:27 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: You need to go read the Ardour manual and learn it. | 00:27 |
| jsec | Hi all. What's the safest ways to remove old kernels? (not just in grub, actually delete the images) | 00:28 |
| Typos_King | infecto: can you elaborate? | 00:28 |
| jrib | jsec: use a package manager | 00:28 |
| dtcrshr | i use ardour for quite some time for recording. i know it can import a single track | 00:28 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: My guess is probably just drag and drop files into whatever track you wantg to use for playback. | 00:28 |
| dtcrshr | but i just think you dont understand what i need here | 00:28 |
| infecto | Typos_King: ? | 00:28 |
| Losha | dtcrshr: I use xmms1, there's an old archive for it somewhere.... | 00:28 |
| dtcrshr | yes, but it goes on the importing proccess | 00:28 |
| dtcrshr | i need it to play right away | 00:28 |
| Typos_King | infecto: can you elaborate/expand/explain/specify? | 00:29 |
| dtcrshr | as an simple audio player | 00:29 |
| infecto | Typos_King: i burn 2 cd 64 bit | 00:29 |
| infecto | and bouth dont work | 00:29 |
| infecto | some errora that cant read from sr0 dev | 00:29 |
| infecto | but when i put cd 32 bit all gous ok | 00:29 |
| Typos_King | !notwork | 00:29 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dtcrshr: You seriously need to go read teh manual I cant do it for you. | 00:29 |
| Typos_King | ... wrong alias :{ | 00:29 |
| jsec | jrib, thx. didn't realize it'd be that simple | 00:29 |
| Hypnoz | craigbass1976: maybe the "all_squash" is doing it | 00:29 |
| dtcrshr | Typos_King, gxmms2 did the trick, thanks | 00:30 |
| dtcrshr | no cracks | 00:30 |
| Typos_King | infecto: maybe you should settle for hte 32bit one then :) | 00:30 |
| jrib | jsec: just make sure you don't remove your running kernel | 00:30 |
| happyface | is rc.local just privalaged commands that are run at startup? | 00:30 |
| dtcrshr | thanks jrib and LinuxGuy2009 | 00:30 |
| dtcrshr | sorry for the inconvenience. | 00:30 |
| zaxonspox | does anyone know PHP to work with PARADOX? | 00:30 |
| infecto | Typos_King: one then? explain please. | 00:30 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | happyface: Yes I have used rc.local and its cool for running root only commands at startup. | 00:31 |
| infecto | in bios? | 00:31 |
| happyface | thans LinuxGuy2009 | 00:31 |
| Losha | neen: it can be done, but the configuration is tedious, I think you have to list every quarter hour *except* midnight. It might be easier to run a script every 15 minutes and check inside the script for midnight and just skip that particular invocation... | 00:31 |
| craigbass1976 | Hypnoz, I'm not sure; I've only shared out my own /home/me to me on another box. On my own boxes, I usually own /var/www, so when I share out my home dir then www gets shared out as well (since I move /var/www to /home/me and then make a link in /var to /home/me/www) | 00:31 |
| infecto | i have pavilion dv9000 my bios is so poor | 00:31 |
| jsec | jrib: will do. i just have a couple custom compiled kernels as well as the generics all the way back to .16, and my grub is looking pretty bloated at this point >_< | 00:31 |
| neen | ah | 00:31 |
| dtcrshr | LinuxGuy2009, when i go to the studio ill call you again | 00:31 |
| neen | ok, i see, thanks losha :D | 00:31 |
| dtcrshr | need some tricks with the bus stuff on ardour | 00:31 |
| craigbass1976 | Hypnoz, that's my only experience with nfs. Does Openoffice still crap out with nfs, or is that fixed now? | 00:31 |
| Typos_King | infecto: ... explain? what? I dunno why it may not be working specifically for you, doesn't mean it doesn't at all, you never specified anything to begin with, 'does not work' is not really an explainful sentence on what's happening | 00:32 |
| Losha | infecto: my understanding is that hp bioses are deliberately hobbled to make support easier... | 00:32 |
| Hypnoz | craigbass1976: it was the all_squash option, which turns every user into nobody. Then anonuid and anongui are set to 33 putting them as www-data | 00:32 |
| infecto | Typos_King: i just ask, and say that dont work for me. | 00:32 |
| infecto | dont understand me wrong | 00:32 |
| infecto | i`m using linux for a long time, and dont come here to complain. | 00:33 |
| infecto | just serach answer | 00:33 |
| zaxonspox | need help with PHP & Paradox DB | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | infecto: .... well... can't say.. maybe is as Losha said, some hardware incompatibility | 00:33 |
| Losha | infecto: so what is your question? | 00:33 |
| infecto | Losha: no one :) | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 00:33 |
| infecto | i geting lucid alpha 3 and we will se :) | 00:33 |
| Typos_King | just a 'general wondering'? hehe | 00:33 |
| Losha | !lucid | infecto | 00:34 |
| ubottu | infecto: 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 | 00:34 |
| infecto | Losha: yep, i`m present on that # | 00:34 |
| infecto | and i`m sure that will have some complications. | 00:34 |
| Typos_King | zaxonspox: I know some php, no paradox.. sorry :{ | 00:34 |
| Hypnoz | 9.10 isn't even stable, i had that on my computer for 1 day before I went back to 9.04 | 00:34 |
| Losha | craigbass1976: apart from that, which was strictly speaking, a configuration issue, nfs is pretty problem free... | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | and I tried it 2 days ago | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | figuring it would be all patched up by now | 00:35 |
| Losha | Hypnoz: 9.10 was never claimed to be stable. Only the LTS releases are *supposed* to be stable you know... | 00:35 |
| hiexpo | i have had 9.10 since it was release and never had a glitch of problems other than user malfunctions | 00:35 |
| Hypnoz | happy its working better for you hiexpo | 00:36 |
| cellofellow | Losha: where'd you dream that up? | 00:36 |
| hiexpo | thanks | 00:36 |
| Hypnoz | 9.04 has my wireless working, 9.10 couldn't get it working, and I managed to crash grub2 so bad it wouldn't boot anymore | 00:37 |
| zaxonspox | Typos_King: mayby you could point me to the answer - there is px_get_value() on the php.net | 00:37 |
| CountDown | How can I tell what brand of touchpad I have? I'm using an Acer Aspire One AO532H. I don't see any sign of a Synaptics touchpad in lshal. | 00:37 |
| hiexpo | just all the right combitions i guess | 00:37 |
| Hypnoz | i am honestly scared of grub2 now | 00:37 |
| Hypnoz | it seems very unstable | 00:37 |
| Losha | cellofellow: I made it up... | 00:37 |
| craigbass1976 | I threw it (9.10) on a new acer laptop a few weeks ago and it's working ok for me so far | 00:37 |
| Losha | Hypnoz: we're all scared of grub2... | 00:37 |
| coldfire | is it mandatory to have a swap partition? I have 2 gigs of ram | 00:38 |
| CountDown | craigbass1976: Which Acer laptop? | 00:38 |
| Hypnoz | yes its mandatory | 00:38 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | coldfire: Hibernate and I think one or two other thinsg need it. | 00:38 |
| Fezzler | Ubuntu 9.10 - where do I see a log file of my startup process? I'm seeing some errors and I want to fix. Hate to have poor performance due to quirky startup. | 00:38 |
| Typos_King | zaxonspox: not sure how ... that helps though :| | 00:38 |
| Hypnoz | Fezzler: at command line type "dmesg" | 00:38 |
| hiexpo | i have found you need to have a large swap to make it run good so i gave it 5 gig and i have 2 gig ram | 00:39 |
| Hypnoz | or "tail /var/log/messages" | 00:39 |
| Losha | coldfire: depends what you mean by mandatory and on how much swap you use. If you run out of swap, programs will terminate prematurely. 2G RAM isn't much by today's standards... | 00:39 |
| craigbass1976 | CountDown, aspire 5517. They're brand new | 00:39 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: dmesg | less; | 00:39 |
| Hypnoz | hiexpo: there is really no benefit above 2gb of swap I've heard | 00:39 |
| Hypnoz | hiexpo: should read about optimal swap size | 00:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | coldfire: IMO 2GB is way more than enough for Linux. Windows is like the only thing that need 4 or 8 GB. | 00:39 |
| craigbass1976 | CountDown, wireless works on encrypted networks, which I'm not used to (although my old Dell did it too-- I just never tried after Fedora4) | 00:40 |
| CountDown | craigbass1976: Are you able to disable clicking with the touchpad? | 00:40 |
| zaxonspox | Typhos_King: if i have an array Array([name] => Kod PLU \r [type] => 4 \r [size] => 4) how to get to first field? | 00:40 |
| Losha | hiexpo: the conventional wisdom is twice the RAM for swap, until you reach 4G. But there's lots of superstition about RAM/swap sizing it's hard to know who to believe... | 00:40 |
| CountDown | craigbass1976: I'm using an Aspire One AO532H and can't figure out how to disable touchpad clicking. | 00:40 |
| hiexpo | true but i had spent a week configureing apps on this and dont want to do it again so more is ok less is back to the ole drawing board | 00:40 |
| craigbass1976 | CountDown, I haven't tried it; I've almost always got a mouse. I will try it later if you'd like. | 00:41 |
| Typos_King | CountDown: checked in 'sudo lshw' yet? | 00:41 |
| CountDown | craigbass1976: Yes, please do. | 00:41 |
| Typos_King | CountDown: you can always check the MB maker's manual you know :P | 00:41 |
| Hypnoz | CountDown: you want to disable touchpad while you're typing? | 00:41 |
| Zenitur | trying to compile KDE 4.4.1. I get this error: http://pastebin.ca/1832796 . How to fix it, does somebody know? | 00:41 |
| coldfire | thanks all | 00:41 |
| CountDown | Typos_King: Not yet. Thanks for the tip. | 00:42 |
| CountDown | Hypnoz: yes, basically. | 00:42 |
| hiexpo | i have ran 3 cad programs at once and a video and played a game and it kpt going like the energizer bunny :) | 00:42 |
| Typos_King | CountDown: many touchpads are disablable through an options in BIos, I know mine is | 00:42 |
| CountDown | Typos_King: I just want to disable using the touchpad taps as clicks. | 00:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | CountDown: 1 sec ill check on my Dell Mini for you. | 00:43 |
| Typos_King | CountDown: ... .meh... I don't use it at all, I have a 3button mouse, far better and flexible :P~ so | 00:43 |
| Coppered | what is the ubuntu equivalent of OUTLOOK? Is there a program I can dump all my Outlook emails into? | 00:43 |
| CountDown | LinuxGuy2009: Thanks. There's a lot of chatter about a bug in 9.10 regarding this feature. Good to get another data point. | 00:43 |
| campee | coppered: evolution | 00:43 |
| Coppered | Thanks Campee...is that the clear leadeR? | 00:44 |
| CountDown | Typos_King: That's a possibility. | 00:44 |
| campee | i believe so | 00:44 |
| Losha | CountDown: I had a lot of trouble with that in the past due to bugs. Might wanna google your model number and see what shows up... | 00:44 |
| Coppered | thnkx | 00:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | CountDown: In 9.04 in mouse preferences there is a check box. If 9.10 is missing this then your probably screwed. | 00:44 |
| cell | hello | 00:44 |
| Typos_King | allo cell | 00:44 |
| Losha | Coppered: make backups before you start if possible. Plenty to go wrong.... | 00:44 |
| cell | i want help with my ubuntu | 00:45 |
| cell | it is 9.04 | 00:45 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> I don't see the error I see at boot with "dmesg | less" The error is something about bad or missing undev command | 00:45 |
| CountDown | LinuxGuy2009: That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for checking. | 00:45 |
| Coppered | losha i have full backups of all my Outlook files done. | 00:45 |
| hiexpo | !ask \ cell | 00:45 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | sure | 00:45 |
| Coppered | im going to be installing ubuntu tonite then puttin gall these programs in. | 00:45 |
| Hypnoz | CountDown: try searching google for "ubuntu disable touchpad tap to click" | 00:45 |
| Losha | Coppered: excellent, Best of luck with it... | 00:45 |
| Coppered | thnks | 00:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: Whats the Q? | 00:45 |
| arrrghhh | can someone help me remove a program that was compiled instead of installed from the repo's? | 00:46 |
| cell | i am new to ubuntu but my friends say it is really good | 00:46 |
| Coppered | Does Ubuntu come with an email client preinstalled? | 00:46 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, yes, it does. | 00:46 |
| cell | but i cant seem to make anything out of it | 00:46 |
| Coppered | which is that? | 00:46 |
| cell | help me pls | 00:46 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, and there are several others to choose from in the repo's. I think gnome still uses evolution. | 00:46 |
| === zenergi is now known as zenergi_ | ||
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: Help you what? | 00:46 |
| Coppered | i need something that i can put mY OUTLOOK files into....50,000 emails, etc...address books | 00:47 |
| [V13]Axel | !ask | cell | 00:47 |
| ubottu | cell: 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. :-) | 00:47 |
| Coppered | im looking at evolution now. | 00:47 |
| Fezzler | I am still AMAZED at how well and FAST Ubuntu runs on this old AMD 266 PC with only 768meg ram. | 00:47 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: which program was it? Do you have the source? | 00:47 |
| cell | help me use the command line | 00:47 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| CountDown | Hypnoz: I've looked at all those already, but thanks for checking. | 00:47 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, i prefer thunderbird from mozilla. | 00:47 |
| Fezzler | Where can I check "undev" settings? | 00:47 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, xmlrpc-c, and yes i have the source. | 00:47 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: Do you know the basics first? | 00:47 |
| blakkheim | Fezzler: you'd be amazed even more if you ran a light distro | 00:47 |
| cell | to install uninstall and stuff pls | 00:47 |
| cell | no | 00:47 |
| Typos_King | cell check in the programs section for Evolution, is a GUI app, so | 00:47 |
| blakkheim | cell: man aptitude | 00:47 |
| cell | teach me | 00:47 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: Applications menu, Add/Remove do there to install apps./ | 00:48 |
| [V13]Axel | cell: What are you wanting to install and uninstall? | 00:48 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: so was it installed using 'make install' ? | 00:48 |
| Hypnoz | Applications at the top left -> Add/Remove | 00:48 |
| Hypnoz | you don't need to use the command line to install/uninstall | 00:48 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, correct. i compiled the advanced tree of xmlprc-c because of a bug with rtgui... | 00:48 |
| Fezzler | blakkheim>> Well, I have an old iMac G3 Bondi Blue. Wonder how it would do on that? OS X crawls on it | 00:48 |
| blakkheim | but it helps | 00:48 |
| cell | flash player | 00:48 |
| blakkheim | Fezzler: a debian netinstall or gentoo would fly on that | 00:48 |
| cell | for mozilla | 00:48 |
| arrrghhh | cell, just install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:48 |
| [V13]Axel | Just download the .deb from Adobe, and double click it. | 00:48 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: adobe.com and download flash for 8.04+ | 00:48 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: if you're lucky, you can do 'sudo make uninstall'.... | 00:48 |
| Fezzler | blakkheim>> Ubuntu fanboy | 00:49 |
| [V13]Axel | cell: Just download the .deb from Adobe, and double-click it. | 00:49 |
| seanbrystone2 | Coppered, Opera has a pretty good email client built-in, I could never get Ubuntu's email clients working with gmail's imap | 00:49 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, yea... not so lucky. i tried that. | 00:49 |
| Hypnoz | if you're running 64 bit its harder | 00:49 |
| arrrghhh | seanbrystone, even thunderbird? | 00:49 |
| m3ga | running karmic on a tablet pc. xdpyinfo says that screen is 800x600 but the aspect ratio is wrong. clues? | 00:49 |
| seanbrystone2 | thunderbird is good too | 00:49 |
| cell | i used the command line it done with download but i dont know where to og to install it | 00:49 |
| Coppered | Thank Sean....my issue is 100% outlook conversion..... | 00:49 |
| arrrghhh | seanbrystone2, why two users lol? | 00:49 |
| blakkheim | Fezzler: that's fine, but you're not experiencing the speed you could be :) | 00:49 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | thunderbird works goof for gmail | 00:49 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> Any ideas on "undev" boot error. Must be a setting. In fstab? | 00:49 |
| Coppered | I have to dump my entire past of Outlook into ....X....so looking at all options. | 00:49 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | good* | 00:49 |
| Hypnoz | Cell: from command line can you type "uname -m" and paste the output | 00:49 |
| Typos_King | cell: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree; | 00:50 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: ok, so you have to do it the hard way. Run 'make install' again, and keep a log of all the output. Then go through it, and every time it installs a file, you need to delete whatever it installed by hand. Fun, no? | 00:50 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, thunderbird is probably going to be the best-recommended client | 00:50 |
| [V13]Axel | cell: Typos_King has it correct. | 00:50 |
| Fezzler | blakkheim>> Ok, I'll bit. What distro? EZ to set up? | 00:50 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, sounds like fun! i figured it was something like that. | 00:50 |
| Hypnoz | Typos_King: does that work even with 64 bit? | 00:50 |
| cell | ok | 00:50 |
| blakkheim | Fezzler: gentoo is the ultimate speed demon, but it is not for newer users | 00:50 |
| seanbrystone2 | arrrghhh, oops :) | 00:50 |
| Coppered | thunderbird or evoltuion....but it sounds like thunderbird....does NOT have a calendar.. | 00:50 |
| Typos_King | Hypnoz is in the repos, I'd supposed so | 00:50 |
| cell | thanks typos | 00:50 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cell: Installing flash in ubuntu is no different than in Windows. Download it and double click it. | 00:50 |
| chelz | Losha: paco/gpaco or checkinstall | 00:50 |
| seanbrystone2 | forgot my other irc was on | 00:50 |
| chelz | Losha: tracks installed files with make scripts | 00:51 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, perhaps i can get around this issue... can i recompile all the packages that are having an issue with the custom version of xmlrpc-c or am i just screwed? | 00:51 |
| Fezzler | blakkheim>> WHere can I see the messages that scroll during boot up? | 00:51 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: dmesg | less; | 00:51 |
| Fezzler | blakkheim>> are they logged? | 00:51 |
| Hypnoz | Typos_King: don't think you can put a ; at the end | 00:52 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> I did that but didn't see the error message in there | 00:52 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: one way to cheat is to install a repository version on top of the compiled version, overwriting all the compiled files, then apt-get remove it. When the repo version files get removed, it should all disappear. Nasty, isn't it? | 00:52 |
| chelz | arrrghhh: recompiling apps with deb-src packages is done all the time | 00:52 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> something about bad setting in undev | 00:52 |
| Typos_King | Hypnoz: bash takes ; just fine :) hehe | 00:52 |
| devdz | in boot loader how can i delete the old generics of ubuntu and keep just the latest one ? | 00:52 |
| Hypnoz | ah | 00:52 |
| johnislost | anybody know about getting a tv tuner card to work? saa2134 and such? | 00:52 |
| chelz | Losha: that's an interesting idea | 00:52 |
| Losha | chelz: is correct, you could've used checkinstall, though it doesn't always work... | 00:53 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, hrm... you think that'll work? i think i already tried using purge with aptitude, i'm not sure about that specific xmlrpc package. | 00:53 |
| neen | hm. okay, now say i want to remove all of the files in a directory that were there before today...how can i do that? i know i can use find ./ -mtime 1 to find the ones that are 24 hours old, but some will be < 24 hours old and still from yesterday | 00:53 |
| Hypnoz | devdz: delete the lines in /etc/grub/menu.lst | 00:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | devdz: You dont need to remove kernels. | 00:53 |
| cell | it now says setting up flashplugin-nonfree | 00:53 |
| Coppered | anyone know if both Evolution and Thunderbird....synch with Blackberry/ | 00:53 |
| Coppered | ? | 00:53 |
| cell | is it done now | 00:53 |
| arrrghhh | Hypnoz, doesn't work so well with grub2... | 00:53 |
| cell | cuz my prompt is there | 00:53 |
| astronut | i have information that i think would be very helpful to a thread on ubuntuforums.org but i don't have an account and don't feel like getting one just to post - would someone mind making a follow up for me? | 00:53 |
| Hypnoz | devdz: sorry /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:53 |
| Typos_King | Hypnoz: it can do multi's in a one-liner, echo "chese"; cat myfile; dmesg; ... | 00:53 |
| arrrghhh | Hypnoz, er sorry. got that backwards. | 00:53 |
| chelz | if you don't remove the kernels, the next time grub reconfigures it'll put them back in | 00:53 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> I'm gonna reboot so I can write down the exact error. IS there a way to pause the booting so I have time to read and write it? | 00:53 |
| Typos_King | heeh | 00:54 |
| Pupuser402 | can somone help me? | 00:54 |
| chelz | removing kernels is the 'proper' way to fix grubs menu permanently | 00:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ask | 00:54 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: it works fine as long as the repo version uses the same files as the compiled version (which should be the case unless some really radical changes have been made). Has the bug gone from the repo version? Is that why you no longer want the compiled version? | 00:54 |
| Pupuser402 | ok i was going to install ubuntu on an external USB hard drive and not on my primary drive AT ALL! and when i was installing it i quadruple checked everything and when it finnished it had switched my primary drive with windows 7 to drive E; and my external USB drive to drive C: and it will not load any OS i have talked to many and they say either to format and reinstall or there is fix options for this on the windows 7 CD | 00:54 |
| Hypnoz | Typos_King: ; causes all commands to execute no matter if the one before was successful. && only keeps going if prev was successful | 00:54 |

| Krokul | wassup ppls? i have a BIG problem right now... | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler just save it to a file -> dmesg > ~/bootmsg.log; and then open ~/bootmsg.log on any text editor of your choice | 00:54 |
| Krokul | was using fedora 12 and it crapped out on me... | 00:54 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, well the compiled version seems to be segfaulting rtorrent. rtorrent works great, but segfaults as soon as a call is made. | 00:54 |
| chelz | Pupuser402: even installing on an external usb requires grub to be installed. | 00:55 |

| proman | here is a tricky one. I have been using ubuntu for a while on my netbook and used it on the laptop I had before with no problems. I have been trying to run linux on my PC. Mandriva, Suse, and ubuntu 64 bit installed ok but all had the same problem. The pc is connected to the internet with regular ethernet cable. I can open google with all their variations(gmail, etc). I can't open anything else. They cant even connect to do updates. T | 00:55 |
| proman | ried connecting to my router and get the login prompt, but would not load the page after the password. Any ideas? | 00:55 |

| chelz | proman: might be the computer's hardware. does this still happen on 9.10 livediscs? | 00:56 |

| cell | ypos thanks | 01:10 |
| cell | typos; thanks | 01:11 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: hmm. can't guarantee that works, I'm on 8.04/0.8.0/0.12.0. Do you get a backtrace? | 01:11 |
| Coppered | Next newbie question: In a Windows enviroment where its critical to have an antivirus software (AVG, Avast, etc)....will I need oen also on my Ubuntu? If so...which do you recommend. | 01:11 |
| aperson | chelz, I spoke too soon, it would seem :/ | 01:11 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, i get nothing... is there some special way to run it to get a backtrace? | 01:12 |
| Typos_King | Coppered; yes, they have different flavors though, kubuntu, xubuntu, eeebuntu... and another one | 01:12 |
| Coppered | Those are antivirus programs? | 01:12 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: cellofellow: might just be easier to use a different client: transmission, deluge, etc... | 01:12 |
| arrrghhh | cellofellow, i found deluge sucks, rtorrent runs with hardly any footprint and is ridiculously customizable. and it's working fine... xmlrpc calls to it on the other hand. | 01:12 |
| chelz | Coppered: yep, both free and proprietary | 01:12 |
| Coppered | Kubuntu is anotehr version of Ubuntu...not AV software. | 01:12 |
| cellofellow | arrrghhh: ok... | 01:12 |
| chelz | aperson: aha. one thing you might try is getting ubuntu into a mode where neither gnome or gdm are running and see if the backlight dims. i'm betting it's a driver thing. | 01:13 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: did you say you had an strace? Wanna pastebin the last page of it? | 01:13 |
| Coppered | ...getting lost here....i thought Kubuntu was form of Ubuntu......... | 01:13 |
| aperson | chelz, it's not a driver thing, I'm 100% positive on this | 01:13 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, sure! i'd love to have some help deicphering the strace. | 01:13 |
| chelz | aperson: how do you know if you haven't tested? | 01:13 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: well, no promises.... | 01:13 |
| aperson | chelz, how do you know I didn't? | 01:13 |

| Typos_King | lol | 01:14 |
| chelz | aperson: what was your test? | 01:14 |
| aperson | chelz, well, given that it doesn't do it in other distros... | 01:14 |
| Losha | Coppered: kubuntu is basically ubuntu with kde installed.... | 01:14 |
| Coppered | need some clarification here.....does Ubuntu...come preloaded with AntiVirus softwre? | 01:14 |
| chelz | aperson: you could try rebooting ubuntu into recovery mode and just waiting on the menu see if it dims, or select going into a root console | 01:14 |
| Typos_King | skraps: if you could at least spell correctly :P | 01:14 |
| Coppered | Losha..exactly. So what do i do abotu AV software? | 01:14 |
| chelz | aperson: other distros might have a different driver loaded | 01:14 |
| seanbrystone2 | !virus | Coppered | 01:14 |
| ubottu | Coppered: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 01:14 |

| Coppered | ok here we go restarting computer | 01:18 |
| Typos_King | Coppered: you can get antivirus apps for *nix as well, no OS is immune to malicous code though... I've run win32 with no antivirus 98% of the time, and barely ever gotten any.... sooooooo, they help I guess, but I do the same on *nix as well | 01:19 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: Um, it's all mixed in with the cli output. Can you re-run it with -o /tmp/trace.txt or some such? | 01:19 |
| johnislost | this is like trying to watch rugby on tv. There's a lot going on, but I have no idea what it is | 01:19 |

| NotTooSmart | My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? | 01:22 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, oh ok. i've never really used strace before. hrm... can't get it to segfault, and none of the pages are loading. | 01:22 |
| jagjr | i followed the tutorials | 01:22 |
| Coppered | nice new symbole....never seen that. | 01:22 |
| chelz | jagjr: what version of ubuntu? | 01:22 |
| jagjr | i put | 01:22 |
| jagjr | 9.10 | 01:22 |
| chelz | jagjr: do you have grub1 or grub2? | 01:22 |
| jagjr | grub 1.5 | 01:22 |
| CountDown | I just need to figure out if my touchpad is Synaptics, Elantech, ALPS, or something else. | 01:22 |
| madscientist032 | how can i tell if my motherboard uses sata 1.5 or sata 3.0 from terminal? | 01:22 |
| Coppered | this is so cool | 01:23 |
| arrrghhh | CountDown, i'd imagine dmesg would give you some info in that area... | 01:23 |
| CountDown | madscientist032: sudo lshw | 01:23 |
| Coppered | i feel like im escaping a religion | 01:23 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: try setting a static ip and rebooting it | 01:23 |
| Coppered | good by abraham! | 01:23 |
| jagjr | heres my fdisk and menu.lst | 01:23 |

| Purpley | wheres firefox installed by default?\ | 01:23 |
| Losha | johnislost: it's supposed to be a 'well-supported' chipset. What does dmesg say about it? | 01:23 |
| zetheroo | the lightning extension is not working for me in Thunderbird | 01:23 |
| arrrghhh | Purpley, "installed"? like where your firefox profile is? | 01:24 |
| serverduck | Could someone point me to how to install lamp in ubuntu 9.10? or an up to date link? | 01:24 |
| Purpley | Well I need to launch it, how do I do that? | 01:24 |
| mgaffney | Purpley, on the path | 01:24 |
| === DcMeese_ is now known as DcMeese | ||
| Purpley | mgaffney, Elaborate please | 01:24 |
| mgaffney | Purpley, did you try a firefox from the terminal? | 01:24 |
| Typos_King | Purple IIRC the latest doesn't come with an installer.... it just unzips, and it'll run from wherever you unzip it at | 01:24 |
| arrrghhh | Purpley, yea should be in /usr/bin which s/b in your PATH | 01:24 |
| zetheroo | Purpley: its not in the menu? | 01:24 |
| chelz | cell: if "uname -a" in a terminal has "_64" in it | 01:25 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: so you're saying when you run it under strace, it doesn't work? | 01:25 |
| Purpley | Sigh, Its in my menu I need to find its directory for a file | 01:25 |
| mgaffney | Purpley, you can also do a 'which firefox' from the command line which will tell you where it is | 01:25 |
| zetheroo | Purpley: Applications > Internet | 01:25 |
| Typos_King | Purple: other than that, you can just check with -> whereis firefox; | 01:25 |

| arrrghhh | Losha, well for whatever reason the php frontends i use don't load (can't connect to rtorrent) but for some reason it won't segfault. ah crap it just did! | 01:25 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: its got the correct ip... | 01:26 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, said stack dump not enabled. let me see if the strace has anything useful in it | 01:26 |
| Losha | johnislost: that's a bad sign. Are you even sure the card is good? | 01:26 |
| zetheroo | Purpley: there is also the hidden folder in the home folder which has some of Firefox config files etc | 01:26 |
| serverduck | Could someone point me to how to install lamp in ubuntu 9.10? or an up to date link? | 01:26 |
| jagjr | chelz? | 01:26 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, good god it's almost 10mb of text. do you just want the last oh megabyte or all of it?!? | 01:26 |
| Typos_King | Purple: are you looking for the configuration/profile files for the user? | 01:26 |
| Coppered | Question...i am now at the Configure Partition section of the Ubuntu install...........should I have 2 partitions....one for Ubuntu and one for the programs i later install....or just one? | 01:27 |
| cellofellow | serverduck: run "sudo aptitude", open the Tasks section, find and install LAMP. | 01:27 |
| Purpley | Typos_King, no im looking for the executable file | 01:27 |
| chelz | jagjr: try a uuid instead of root for the window 7 | 01:27 |
| serverduck | cellofellow, thank you sir! | 01:27 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: just the last page in pastebin for starters.... | 01:27 |
| jagjr | hmmm ok ill try | 01:27 |
| johnislost | losha it works great on my win2k drive. this is the only app that i can't get to work right on my new install | 01:27 |
| Coppered | need some thought here friends... | 01:27 |
| Purpley | Typos_King, Ill find it though | 01:27 |
| chelz | jagjr: "/apps/gnome-power-manager/backlight/enable" in a terminal to find uuids | 01:27 |
| chelz | erm | 01:27 |
| chelz | jagjr: "blkid -c /dev/null" | 01:28 |
| enav | i have 6 Gb of RAM, and i want the possibility to disable the Swap in order to save HDD usage... This is a good idea ??? | 01:28 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, nothing's jumping out, here it be - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/392921/ | 01:28 |
| Typos_King | serverduck: ehehe lamp? well, you already have the 'L', install Apache2 and that gives you the 'A' and 'P', install mysql and that gives the 'M' | 01:28 |
| Coppered | Question...i am now at the Configure Partition section of the Ubuntu install...........should I have 2 partitions....one for Ubuntu and one for the programs i later install....or just one? | 01:28 |
| zetheroo | enav: disable? | 01:28 |
| NotTooSmart | My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? | 01:28 |
| Losha | johnislost: start googling, card model number and/or chipset then my friend... | 01:28 |
| CountDown | arrrghhh: "dmesg | grep input" lists for Macintosh mouse button emulation and ImPS/2 generic Wheel Mouse. | 01:28 |
| jagjr | chelz : would it matter that i have two NTFS for one windows? | 01:28 |
| chelz | enav: if you ever run out of ram, programs will be killed at random. so probably not. just set a smaller swap. | 01:28 |
| zetheroo | enav: or just repartition without swap? | 01:28 |
| enav | zetheroo yes disable | 01:28 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, you may want to make a separate partition for /home, but that's all i recommend. | 01:28 |
| serverduck | Typos_King, well i don't know how to install AMP...yes i have L | 01:29 |
| enav | I never used more than 3 Gb | 01:29 |
| chelz | jagjr: no, that should not matter. you should only need to point grub at the windows partition with the system files. | 01:29 |
| Coppered | what is home? ..a long time ago...i used to run the OS in one partition.....and all installed programmes in another... | 01:29 |
| zetheroo | enav: I would not disable ... but i would give 512 MB of swap instead of 6gb :P | 01:29 |
| Coppered | it worked well...maybe that is not an issue here...and i just go for 1 | 01:29 |
| arrrghhh | CountDown, i thought it would have touchpad info also. | 01:29 |
| chelz | enav: as long as you know what you are doing, that can be done. swap is an emergency thing to have though. | 01:29 |
| jagjr | chelz : i know , but i got system reserved for win 7 ... that contains stuff.. i think the bootfiles but not sure | 01:29 |
| chelz | Coppered: just use 1 | 01:29 |
| zetheroo | enav: although I did run Ubuntu on a 2GB system with no swap at all ... | 01:30 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, making a separate partition for /home just makes it easy to upgrade | 01:30 |
| Coppered | :) | 01:30 |
| chelz | jagjr: set the uuid to one of them and try rebooting. if it doesn't work, set the uuid to the other | 01:30 |
| zetheroo | enav: I guess it depends somewhat on what your doing .. | 01:30 |
| jagjr | ok | 01:30 |
| Coppered | i will upgrade in April....is that an issue? | 01:30 |
| johnislost | losha, thanks, thats what i've been doing and am too new to know what i've found. | 01:30 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, you can wipe your main partition that has all your installs, but keep all your personal files and some configuration. | 01:30 |
| enav | maybe i need to read more about linux swap but i think is lake the page file of windows using the hard drive constantly... and decreasing its live | 01:30 |
| enav | is like* | 01:30 |
| jagjr | chelz : my uuid for the other is System Reserved would that be System_Reserved? | 01:30 |
| Coppered | for the upgrade in April..to the latest Ubuntu...if i go with just 1 partition.....any issue? | 01:30 |
| Coppered | CHelz? | 01:31 |
| CountDown | arrrghhh: "dmesg | grep touch" comes up empty and "dmesg | grep pad" only lists one line about VIA Padlock not detected. | 01:31 |
| chelz | Coppered: nope, no issues other than normal upgrading issues | 01:31 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, no you can upgrade easily, but to do a clean wipe - just makes it easier to have a separate /home. not required by any means. | 01:31 |
| Blue1 | Coppered: backup /etc/ and /home/ | 01:31 |
| Coppered | i have no idea what the home issue is | 01:31 |
| Coppered | i have no home | 01:31 |
| Coppered | so will skip that | 01:31 |
| arrrghhh | CountDown, did you look at dmesg as a whole? | 01:31 |
| Coppered | :) | 01:31 |
| FloodBot2 | Coppered: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:31 |
| MrD_ | would anyone be willing to give me help with Samba? I started by sharing a folder on my Ubuntu machine, and on this Windows 7 machine is can find the Linux computer, and it makes me log in using that user's credentials but it wont let me explore the folders | 01:31 |
| arrrghhh | Coppered, you will have a /home, trust me :D | 01:31 |
| CountDown | arrrghhh: Not yet. | 01:31 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: the only thing that looks suspicious is these: accept(5, 0xbfc437ac, [16]) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable). Accept means an incoming connection, presumably from a p2p peer. Not sure why there would be insufficient resources for it. You could spend a lot of time on this and get nowhere. Really consider using a different client.... | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | serverduck: ehehe lamp? well, you already have the 'L', install Apache2 and that gives you the 'A' and 'P', install mysql and that gives the 'M' <---- sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server-5.0 | 01:32 |
| infecto | grrrr | 01:32 |
| chelz | jagjr: when you boot do you see a grub screen? is the issue just that windows won't boot? | 01:32 |
| infecto | the lucid also dont want to start ::) | 01:32 |
| akindy | anyone using wicd? | 01:32 |
| akindy | I've got a question if so | 01:32 |
| NotTooSmart | My power went out today, when I rebooted my ubuntu machine I cannot connect to my mpd server, my samba server, or open ssh, the Ip is the same and grabbed via dhcp, any ideas? | 01:32 |
| MichRT | Hello! How is everyone? | 01:32 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, hrm that's depressing. rtorrent was working great, and i'm assuming something upgraded from the repo and broke that custom install of xmlrpc i installed. what do you recommend for cli torrent clients that have a web frontend? | 01:32 |
| serverduck | Typos_King, and php??? | 01:32 |
| infecto | thouse 64 bits version of ubuntu are strange ;) | 01:32 |
| jagjr | chelz : i see a grub screen .. i can choose to boot into linux or windows. i can boot into linux but not into windows | 01:33 |
| Losha | johnislost: well, you shouldn't be seeing i/o errors. Try googling for those along with your card/chipset | 01:33 |
| jagjr | brb trying | 01:33 |
| Blue1 | MrD_: sounds like a permissions problem you may need to set the folders in linux to sudo chmod 755 <nameofdirectorygoeshere> | 01:33 |
| MichRT | Maybe random, but I have to say: Final Fantasy XIII | 01:33 |
| MichRT | is awesome!!! | 01:33 |
| infecto | 66.243846 end-request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1433856 | 01:33 |
| MrD_ | I chmodded it to 777 | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | serverduck: Apache webserver already comes with PHP as module, don't need to add anything extra, and also has mysql modules for accessing the server | 01:33 |
| CountDown | arrrghhh: Looks like there's a psmouse, but no brand. | 01:33 |
| infecto | thats my error | 01:33 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: do you know exactly when it broke? If so, you can check the package log in /var/log/dpkg.log for a likely suspect... | 01:33 |
| infecto | 66.24897 Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 179232. | 01:33 |
| jebba | brjann: export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive | 01:34 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: I use rtorrent :-) | 01:34 |
| Typos_King | serverduck: thus it gives you the 'a' and 'p' | 01:34 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, not the exact time, but i know the day. and damnit i LOVE rtorrent. i don't want to use another client. | 01:34 |
| brjann | jebba: aha, good to know :) thanks | 01:34 |
| MrD_ | it asks me for credientials again, but when i put in the same ones that let me access the computer in the first place it doenst work | 01:34 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: are all those servers separate machines? or where are they all running? | 01:34 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: one machine | 01:34 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: what os are you using to try to connect to it? | 01:34 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: check the logs and see what was installed on that day. You may be able to back something out and win.... | 01:35 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: um, im doing it locally | 01:35 |
| serverduck | Typos_King, thank you...long live the king! :) | 01:35 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, ...ok i'll see... | 01:35 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: and on winxp and its just not working | 01:35 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> Okay. The boot error is something about a faulty rule in udev? | 01:35 |
| Typos_King | serverduck: <voice type="elvis"> thank you, thank you very much </voice> | 01:35 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: I have one machine that runs mpd, samba and openssh, its ubuntu 9.10 | 01:35 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> Anything to be concerned about? | 01:35 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: is this the first time you've had issues after rebooting? have you tried rebooting once? | 01:36 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: yea never had problems before today | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: try pasting it on a pastebin..... like say.. paste at pastie.org for us to see | 01:36 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: how are you verifying what IP ubuntu has? | 01:36 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: I can ping out from the server to google etc and ifconfig -a shows it as being the right ip | 01:36 |
| chelz | ah | 01:36 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, hrm... i don't see anything really. what else could've broken xmlrpc? | 01:36 |
| serverduck | Typos_King, :))) ahahhahahahha you made my day! | 01:36 |
| __mikem | does anyone know if its possible to get the new gdm and gtk themes for lucid in the the current release? | 01:36 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: idk whats going on | 01:37 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: have you tried restarting the server? | 01:37 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> I know how to do that. Where do I find the boot log? dmesg ain't it | 01:37 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: twice | 01:37 |
| Losha | NotTooSmart: start at the beginning. Can you ping the server? | 01:37 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: hmm, pinging does not seem to work atm.. | 01:37 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: do you have any other computers running ubuntu besides the server you can use? | 01:37 |
| NotTooSmart | chelz: umm, nope... | 01:38 |
| jagjr | ok it didnt work | 01:38 |
| jagjr | for the uuid | 01:38 |
| Losha | NotTooSmart: do you have console access to the server? | 01:38 |
| Coppered | Request: is there a page that clearly tells me what a Encrypted Home Folder is? I selected it to use the same password as my log in id. | 01:38 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: yea | 01:38 |
| __mikem | 7 | 01:38 |
| __mikem | oops | 01:38 |
| Coppered | I will have a folder that is encrypted in case of loss? | 01:38 |
| Losha | NotTooSmart: then login to the server & see if you can ping out... | 01:38 |
| chelz | Coppered: if it's a laptop, you definitely should | 01:38 |
| Coppered | it is a lap top. | 01:39 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: yea I can | 01:39 |
| Coppered | can i change the password later on that encrypted home folder? | 01:39 |
| cell | typos;the skype says error;wrong architecture 'amd64' | 01:39 |
| chelz | Coppered: it uses your main password, there's no difference in using ubuntu with it and without it for normal usage | 01:39 |
| chelz | cell: get the non64bit then | 01:39 |
| Coppered | can i change the password later if like? | 01:40 |
| chelz | Coppered: yes | 01:40 |
| Losha | NotTooSmart: that's good, it probably means your nic wasn't damaged by the power outage. Run 'ifconfig -a' and check the ip address... | 01:40 |
| cell | chelz;ok | 01:40 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: ok hold on | 01:40 |
| hmw | can i make Totem not use Overlay? I would like to see the videos transformed properly on the Compiz Cube | 01:40 |
| Coppered | so the home folder is where i store all my personal files? | 01:40 |
| chelz | NotTooSmart: home servers should have static IPs set, for the record avoids issues down the line. | 01:41 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: dmesg IS the boot log usually | 01:41 |
| cell | chelz; do you know how to set the vpn??? | 01:41 |
| chelz | Coppered: yes. stuff like media, email, browsing history, etc | 01:41 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: it says its 192.168.1.3 which is what I want | 01:41 |
| Fezzler | Typos_King>> I'll look again. Any way to run dmesg and only have it return instances of udev? | 01:41 |
| Coppered | killer...it will some how have all my email there too.....this is all done automatically? | 01:41 |
| chelz | cell: what kind of vpn? | 01:41 |
| cell | chelz; do you know how to set the vpn??? | 01:41 |
| Coppered | chelz u recommend evolution for email client right? | 01:42 |
| Losha | NotTooSmart: were you running any kind of firewall on the server? | 01:42 |
| cell | ip | 01:42 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: ... or check also at /var/log/message and /var/log/system | 01:42 |
| Purpley | Hey guys if I say a command like sudo /usr/bin/firefox will it launch firefox? | 01:42 |
| cell | chelz; ip | 01:42 |
| chelz | Coppered: yes, that should work fine. some people like Thunderbird since it's crossplatform | 01:42 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: no | 01:42 |
| Snoopy1 | so is it possible to get ubuntu on a hp pocket pc? | 01:42 |
| chelz | cell: pptp? | 01:42 |
| astronut | i have information that is a much more elegant solution for a thread on ubuntuforums.org but i don't have an account and don't feel like getting one just to post - would someone mind making a follow up for me? if so, PM me | 01:42 |
| Losha | Purpley: yes, though running firefox as root is considered to be borderline suicidal... | 01:42 |
| Typos_King | Fezzler: ... or check also at /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog rather | 01:42 |
| cell | chelz;how to change my ip | 01:42 |
| Purpley | Losha, Don't I need sudo to enter /usr/bin and launch something? | 01:43 |
| __mikem | does anyone know if I can get the new radiance and ambience gtk themes in karmic | 01:43 |
| cell | chelz how do i do that ?? | 01:43 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, yea, i have a gap from 3/4 to 3/9 for that dpkg log... what else would cause rtorrent to segfault from xmlrpc calls? i didn't update any configs... or really change anything. this box just sits there chuggin, and i pretty much just update it now and then! | 01:43 |
| chelz | cell: you have to get a vpn provider, like you have an internet provider (isp). make sure you pick one that supports linux and they will tell you how to use their vpn. | 01:43 |
| chelz | cell: you can use Tor as a free vpn, but it is very slow | 01:43 |
| chelz | astronut: the sooner you get an account, the sooner you can start participating more deeply | 01:44 |
| Losha | Purpley: only for certain apps, usually those which do system maintenance. For firefox, definitely *not*... | 01:44 |
| cell | chelz; can it change my ip ?? tor? | 01:44 |
| chelz | cell: yes it can | 01:44 |

| cell | chelz;ok then help me with that | 01:45 |
| Losha | arrrghhh: sorry, I'm kinda out of ideas.... | 01:45 |
| NotTooSmart | Losha: I lied! looks like transmission-daemon has one built in and it was screwing me up some how. thanks man | 01:45 |

| Losha | arrrghhh: when all else fails.... | 01:45 |
| arrrghhh | Losha, what about recompiling around it? i don't mind recompiling libtorrent, rtorrent, etc... i just ran into an issue when i tried compiling the rtorrent source. | 01:46 |
| Coppered | Randome question...is anyone here in Berkeley California? | 01:46 |
| Purpley | How do I create a proper symlink again? whats the syntax? | 01:46 |

| Typos_King | Purpley: ln -s ACTUALPATH SYMLINKNAME | 01:47 |
| astronut | Purpley: ln -s <target> [<link>] | 01:47 |

| Chaosmeika | chelz: How do I go about doing that? Novice linux user. | 01:56 |
| switch10_ | Some_Person: I have a root account as well | 01:56 |
| Losha | switch10_: which user did you login as? | 01:56 |
| scott_ino2 | Typos_King, yeah this is an embedded linux system so can't do much on it commands are limited | 01:56 |
| Typos_King | switch10: cd ~; :) | 01:56 |
| Rave1 | Some_Person, just remember all the same rules for any flashdrive apply | 01:56 |
| switch10_ | Losha: my user name | 01:56 |
| Some_Person | Rave1: "rules"? | 01:56 |
| Losha | switch10_: what happens if you type cd ~username like Typos_King said? | 01:57 |
| switch10_ | in User settings, my home directory is mounted properly. I don't understand why this has happened | 01:57 |
| chelz | Chaosmeika: ah i'm not experienced with grub2, but on grub1 when you are in the grub menu, highlight the ubuntu line you want to boot, press "e", then go to the line starting with "kernel" and put that at the end | 01:58 |

| switch10_ | sebi_`: /home/dave | 01:58 |
| sebi_` | switch10_: well, cd ~ then | 01:59 |
| Some_Person | Rave1: I don't need swap (my HD can deal with that). Why ext2 over 3/4 though? | 01:59 |
| switch10_ | My home is on its own partition if that helps at all | 01:59 |
| sebi_` | switch10_: you most likely opened a root terminal in nautilus | 01:59 |
| claws | hmw, hmm..i did that but it comes of a bunch of things i dont have qlue about | 01:59 |
| Rave1 | Some_Person, something about journaling if I remember correctly | 02:00 |
| klam7 | hey guys, is there a way to add multiple virtual ips in ubuntu instead of adding them one by one? | 02:00 |
| switch10_ | sebi_`: when I go to apps>accesories>terminal it works correctly | 02:00 |
| Some_Person | Rave1: Well, ext2 has no journaling, while ext3 and ext4 do | 02:00 |

| coordinador | i have a problem | 02:00 |
| sebi_` | switch10_: obviously | 02:00 |
| jefimenko | ubuntu provides a way to change the subpixel order in the System -> Preferences -> Appearance menu, in the Fonts tab and in the Details button. I have two monitors and each uses a different subpixel order, so fonts render ugly on one vs. the other. Does anyone know if it's possible to set different subpixel order on each monitor? | 02:00 |
| Rave1 | Some_Person, that is the point | 02:00 |
| coordinador | where is the ubuntu.restricted-modules package in karmic??? | 02:00 |
| coordinador | i mean linux-restricted-modules | 02:01 |
| switch10_ | sebi_`: How do I make a keyboard short cut to open a terminal then? | 02:01 |
| sebi_` | switch10_: install nautilus-actions, it will install shortcuts for opening a terminal | 02:01 |
| Some_Person | Rave1: Can the same ubuntu installation (on an SD) be used on 2 computers (I don't actually need to be able to do this, though it would be handy)? | 02:01 |
| * Typos_King dashes | 02:01 | |
| claws | hmw, yes | 02:01 |
| Rave1 | Some_Person, I am not sure with ubuntu never used it that way | 02:02 |
| claws | hmw, failed to initialize the device | 02:02 |
| switch10_ | sebi_`: I/ve always had gnome-terminal linked to a keyboard shortcut and it worked fine before. | 02:02 |

| b_a_r7 | eny 1 know of a freebsd irc server port | 02:06 |
| guitarman888 | ok jsec | 02:06 |
| hmw | claws: it probably is already working. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 02:06 |
| chelz | jsec: ubuntu picks a version of most packages to support, then that version doesn't change, ubuntu just releases security fixes but no new features | 02:07 |
| klam7 | chelz, i know how to add them one by one, but like in freebsd, theres a way to add a whole ip block or a range of ips | 02:07 |

| arrrghhh | Coppered, ubuntu comes pre-loaded with repo's. it's where you get all your updates - but unlike windows which just updates windows, ubuntu (and linux) updates all come thru the repo's - so all packages you have installed and the OS get updated. | 02:09 |
| chelz | Coppered: ubuntu does come with firefox btw | 02:09 |
| Coppered | mine did chelz | 02:09 |
| Coppered | i have firecfox right here | 02:09 |

| chelz | Big_Mig: Fixing the hue on totem should fix it | 02:17 |
| claws | hmw, i dont have any options there...as if it doesnt detect my webcam | 02:18 |
| chelz | Big_Mig: Totem aka Media Player / Preferences / Display / Hue slider - set to the middle, or just press 'reset to defaults'. | 02:18 |
| Scunizi | chelz: it returns "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions".. same with using sudo and not | 02:18 |

| rastasean | hello everyone. i am looking for assistance with my dual monitor setup and ati radeon hd 4350 card. when my 23" monitor is set to max res (1920*1080), about 2" all the way around are missing | 03:14 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | The webcam in my Dell Mini 10v works both together. Im not sure why this one wont. | 03:14 |
| anto9us | Dunkirk: run synaptic package manager and click installed local or obselete, I think they should appear in amongst those | 03:14 |
| rastasean | this is odd. anyone know about video driver issues? | 03:14 |
| quickard | rastasean: what kind of card? | 03:15 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | quickard: He just said ati radeon hd 4350 | 03:15 |
| rastasean | quickard, ati radeon hd 4350 | 03:15 |
| quickard | =/ | 03:16 |
| rastasean | :) | 03:16 |
| Dunkirk | anto9us: I see what you're talking about. | 03:16 |
| hmw | rastasean: earlier radeon cards had memory limits causing similar problems. perhaps you can find something on the web regarding max_texture_size or so | 03:16 |
| TxPitou | Guest87763: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop then install it again ? | 03:16 |
| Dunkirk | But I was looking for a dpk-? command of some sort. | 03:16 |
| rastasean | hmw, the odd thing is it was working monday prior to a re-install of ubuntu 9.10 64 bit | 03:16 |
| anto9us | rastasean: have you tried the settings on the monitor itself? | 03:16 |
| TxPitou | Guest87763: hang on... what video card you using ? | 03:16 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dunkirk: Just know what apps you installed from other repos and remove them and reinstall them. | 03:17 |
| rastasean | anto9us, yes, i didn't change anything in the regard. further, when the ati drivers are removed, the entire screen fills up but just mushed down slightly | 03:17 |
| rastasean | monitor is hanns*g 23" | 03:17 |
| quickard | I had a similar problem on my machine, I have a nvidia card though. finally got it by messing with the hz | 03:17 |
| rastasean | quickard, hz being horizontal? | 03:18 |
| Dunkirk | LinuxGuy2009: Well, that's kind of the problem. I'm not sure what I had that pulled in the newer versions of some packages that gave me a problem, so I don't know what else is lurking. | 03:18 |
| anto9us | rastasean: I have found when timings are a bit different that monitor needs adjusting via its OSD Menu | 03:18 |
| Dunkirk | I don't know what I don't know. :-/ | 03:18 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dunkirk: Well thats what happens when you introduce new repos. Its your responsibility to keep track. If problems arise then they are self inflicted. | 03:19 |
| oem | Hello!!! | 03:19 |
| rastasean | there is very little for me to change, anto9us in the menu system | 03:19 |
| major_redhat | what are the most common terminal lines to check my hardware | 03:19 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dunkirk: Perhaps restore a recent backup and go from there. | 03:19 |
| rastasean | in fact, i can't adjust hz | 03:19 |
| Dunkirk | LinuxGuy2009: Dude, that's bullcrap. The POINT of a package manager is to KEEP TRACK of this. I KNOW there's a way to do this. I just don't have the incantation on Ubuntu. | 03:19 |
| anto9us | rastasean: is there a reset option in there? | 03:20 |
| Dunkirk | This stuff was CAKE on Gentoo. | 03:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dunkirk: Well your not in Gentoo anymore toto. | 03:20 |
| quickard | rastasean: In my driver settings I can adjust the operating hz of the display card | 03:20 |
| Guest87763 | @TxPitou-i just need to get to the desktop or change the video settings from the terminal... i can get on great with and without the t.v. with the flash card... Stumped | 03:20 |
| rastasean | anto9us, yes and i just did that. nothing changed. i'm going to reboot because i recently deleted the ati drivers. brb | 03:20 |
| Dunkirk | LinuxGuy2009: Well played. | 03:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dunkirk: But seriously what excactly are you trying to do. Ill give it an honest shot. | 03:21 |

| claptrap | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager | 03:21 |
| major_redhat | something that would help identify the version of my motherboard | 03:21 |
| claptrap | If I just change all the instances of Thunar in that to Krusader, should that work? | 03:21 |
| anto9us | major_redhat: lshw | 03:21 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Or just leave that works too. hehe | 03:22 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Death_: 9.10? | 03:26 |
| major_redhat | so that i can hopefully find a replacement CPU for it | 03:26 |
| Death_ | Yes LinuxGuy2009 | 03:26 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Death_, is there a error? | 03:26 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | or just blank screen? | 03:26 |
| Death_ | no | 03:26 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Death_: Yeah thats pretty common on the systems I tested too. | 03:26 |
| Death_ | i rebot, it opens windows | 03:26 |
| TxPitou | major_redhat: what brand is motherboard, many manufacturers (intel , asus for examples) have web site interface that can "probe and get you full details on your chipsets | 03:26 |
| quickard | Death_: what exactly happens? | 03:26 |
| rastasean | so i'm back after deleting the ati drivers and now my menu bar is on my second monitor | 03:26 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Death_, did you put it on a cd? | 03:26 |
| major_redhat | its a dell and the hard drive is DEAD so im using a live CD to do all this from the terminal | 03:27 |
| rastasean | i have a 18" crt that displays everything correct but menu bar is on the wrong monitor | 03:27 |
| hmw | Death_ check your bios, if writing to the MBR /boot sector is allowed. Often called "Virus protection" or similar | 03:27 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Death_: No grub boot menu? | 03:27 |
| hmw | Death_: if "virus protection" is ENabled, that would explain why you dont have GRUB | 03:27 |
| Death_ | if i reboot with the CD, i get the original screen, then when i install again and get to the partition screen... and i can see the last partition i set | 03:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | well we need to make sure he didn't just dl and hope it boots | 03:27 |
| TxPitou | major_redhat: dell . oh easy, behind box you have a service tag #, goto web site, enter tag it will tell you eveything in technical details about your board, I just fixed an xps400 for a friend that way.. | 03:27 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | so you didn't do it right... | 03:28 |
| major_redhat | TxPitou: its serously that easy? i think i will try that! | 03:28 |
| Death_ | i can see the previos partition i set... but how do i access it? | 03:28 |
| TxPitou | major_redhat: yeah man... you can get techincal details, service manuals.. :) I tracked down power supply and new cpu on ebay to fix her pc.. cost... 45$ | 03:28 |
| quickard | whats the best way to view current users on a system? | 03:29 |
| anto9us | Death_: if you installed grub to the correct drive then you need to check your bios as hmw suggests | 03:29 |
| Death_ | ok, checking bios, 1 sec | 03:29 |
| Fezzler | "udevd[442]: invalid rule 'etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules:1 DO I simply delete that file? | 03:29 |

| Chaosmeika | During installation for 9.10, I encurred an error (0x73/0x80). After asking initially, I was told that by using GRUB1 that it would fix the error. It did not. Are there any other options? | 03:30 |

| hmw | Death_: your BIOS probably doesnt offer this option then. We could try to install GRUB again. Boot your Ubuntu Live CD. Tell me, when it is up. | 03:41 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | KB1JWQ: Yeah i just looked in synaptic and didnt see any obvious packages. Might not be any at all. Might just be certain default preferences are setup for you or something like that. Have you seen any screenshots of kubuntu netbook? | 03:42 |

| von_neumann | looks like it was gnome-panel | 03:45 |
| hmw | von_neumann: usually i dont liek restarting, either, but sometimes... you just have to | 03:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dbone: Meybe restore the backup copy of the file you edited. That would do it. | 03:45 |
| KB1JWQ | LinuxGuy2009: 19:45:35 #kubuntu: < netdaemon> KB1JWQ: not yet, there will be in 10.04 iirc | 03:45 |
| KB1JWQ | Okay then! | 03:45 |
| von_neumann | hmw: I had to restart earlier today... Tried to use gmplayer and it does not play well with pulseaudio apparently... I had to reboot to get sound back | 03:46 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | KB1JWQ: Oh kubuntu netbook isnt here yet until 10.04? | 03:46 |
| von_neumann | but that was the first time since I installed karmic, 44 days of uptime... | 03:46 |
| von_neumann | anyway, for those keeping score, killing gnome-panel did the trick, thanks for all the help/suggestions | 03:46 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: would love to if I had made a backup. (I had read somewhere that messing with those files was not a big deal... hah.) | 03:47 |
| hmw | von_neumann: i rarely get a week uptime with my ubuntu workstation... my LFS has a longer uptime... something about 180 days or so | 03:47 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dbone: Where did you read that? Most sites I have seen say to make a backup or know exactly what your doing cause your gonna F up your system. | 03:47 |
| hmw | Death_: you still alive? | 03:48 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Has Death died? | 03:49 |
| t3chkommie | hello everyone. | 03:49 |
| livingroom | t3chkommie, Hello | 03:49 |
| Duncan-NC | Hey | 03:49 |
| Death_ | Yes HMW | 03:49 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: yeah I know, and I always have a backup of xorg.conf, but this time I guess i was just being dumb. I'll find the site once i get my trackpad so i can navigate a little better | 03:49 |
| Death_ | it is loading | 03:49 |
| t3chkommie | is it possible to get some quick help with a software raid1 on a ubuntu 8.04 server? | 03:49 |
| === redghost is now known as greenghost | ||
| LinuxGuy2009 | dbone: Restore your system backup and try again. | 03:50 |
| hmw | Death_: that is slightly confusing me... loading grub cant take so long *g* i suppose, your live CD is not yet booted? or did yu already re-install GRUB? | 03:50 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: lol, okay, i guess i'm such i noob i don't even know how to do that | 03:51 |

| kerebrus | Is there any way to recover a deleted file? | 03:51 |
| hmw | t3chkommie: possible? likely. Depends on your problem. Find out, if it is possible by asking the very question ;-) | 03:51 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dbone: Clonezilla ;) | 03:51 |
| t3chkommie | ok ) | 03:51 |
| t3chkommie | so, i have ubuntu server 8.04 already running a nice apache server | 03:51 |
| t3chkommie | problem is, i want to make it reduntant on my secound dev. | 03:52 |
| t3chkommie | i have searched hi and low for info on geting a raid set up on a already running sysytem, but nothing is working... and i really dont want to lose my info. | 03:52 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: yeah, i just typed clonezilla into a terminal (:-?) | 03:52 |
| Duncan-NC | Second dev is new hdd? Or server? | 03:52 |
| hunt | Hi, I just noticed, that there are gthumb bugs in launchpad, nobody seems to care about, I cant find these bugs in gnomes bugzilla, is there a standard way to import bugs from launchpad to bugzilla? | 03:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dbone: clonezilla is a live CD distro | 03:53 |
| t3chkommie | its a hdd | 03:53 |
| t3chkommie | i moved everything over to dev 1 now i want ot mirror the two. | 03:53 |
| onaogh | how can i edit in ubuntu's "Main Menu" ?? | 03:53 |
| Duncan-NC | I would guess boot live cd, use dd and mdadm | 03:53 |
| t3chkommie | i installed mdamdm already | 03:53 |
| hmw | onaogh: right click the menu and select "edit menus" | 03:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | onaogh: Right click the menu. Edit menu. | 03:54 |
| hmw | onaogh: right click on the main menu entry eg. "Applications" | 03:54 |
| onaogh | i cannot remove "About Gnome" "About Ubuntu" and "Help and Support" from there | 03:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | onaogh: right | 03:54 |
| rafa_ | hello | 03:54 |
| onaogh | LinuxGuy2009, what ? | 03:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | onaogh: Right you cant remove them. | 03:55 |
| onaogh | I want to remove them | 03:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | onaogh: Tough | 03:55 |

| t3chkommie | <- needs help with setting up raid1 (software) on a server that already has one set up hdd. | 03:56 |
| hmw | Death_: uhm... stand by... that came very surprising | 03:56 |
| onaogh | i have re aranged my panel and got a menu like start menu of windows, in ubuntu its name is Main menu | 03:56 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: it had to do with synaptics touchpad. I just looked in the trash for it, wasnt there. | 03:56 |
| Death_ | alright hmw | 03:56 |
| onaogh | LinuxGuy2009, i removed About Gnome and others except Help and Support | 03:56 |
| dbone | LinuxGuy2009: I think i'm screwed | 03:56 |
| rafa_ | my monitor, when i put to set auto off in x times inactived, stay blinking, don't stop. Its may cause a problem to it? | 03:57 |
| hmw | Death_: try "locate grub" - any results? | 03:57 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | onaogh: You can remove the gnome menu bar. That you can do | 03:57 |
| rafa_ | Sorry, my english is very bad. | 03:57 |
| Duncan-NC | I'd have to look at mdadm's man page. But if you can create a raid 1 vol without init the hdd. Then just use the new hdd as a simple backup first with dd. Then try and add one drive to md1 | 03:57 |
| hmw | rafa_: you want to know, if it harms your monitor, when you DISable the screen saver? | 03:58 |
| t3chkommie | duncan: i dont understand what that means. | 03:58 |
| t3chkommie | :( | 03:58 |
| Duncan-NC | Srry typing with one thumb on iPhone lol | 03:58 |
| rafa_ | nou, i not disabled the screensaver. | 03:58 |
| tigrang | I installed nvidia driver in Live Cd mode before I installed Ubuntu 9.10, and now after installing it wont boot, it goes to a terminal and my screen is flashing. Looking inside xorg.conf the driver is nvidia. Could this be problem? What is the default/generic driver to put? | 03:58 |
| glick | hey to get java working in mozilla i just install the sun-java6-plugin package? | 03:58 |

| Duncan-NC | Someone explain cloning with dd for me plz | 03:59 |
| hmw | rafa_: i did not understand "blinking" | 03:59 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Duncan-NC: dd makes a bit for bit copy. Thats it. | 03:59 |
| rafa_ | hmm | 03:59 |
| rafa_ | wait, please | 03:59 |
| hmw | rafa_: no problem | 04:00 |
| Duncan-NC | Yea. A backup. | 04:00 |
| t3chkommie | h, | 04:00 |

| Death_ | hmw: i got many results for that search... anything specific | 04:00 |
| sometux | tigrang: try vesa | 04:00 |
| Death_ | ? | 04:00 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Duncan-NC: Copies used space as well as free space. | 04:00 |
| t3chkommie | so, if i dd my 2nd hdd will it be a "raid"? | 04:00 |
| rafa_ | winking | 04:00 |
| rafa_ | blinker | 04:00 |
| rafa_ | you understand? | 04:00 |

| ng0n | mcw. look in /feet | 04:01 |
| hmw | rafa_: i know the word "blinking" but i dont know what exactly is blinking, and how it looks like. Please try to explain how it blinks, what blinks | 04:01 |
| hmw | Death_: what is the path? | 04:01 |
| mcw | I have no feet | 04:01 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | dd backups are very wasteful and only really needed for forensic backups. Clonezilla is good for a backup solution and only copies used blocks. | 04:01 |

| hmw | Death_: it should be /usr/sbin/grub... try to type sudo /usr/sbin/grub | 04:02 |
| mcw | and took my feet | 04:02 |
| hmw | Death_: oh... your result might be it... you can also try sudo /usr/share/recovery-mode/options/grub | 04:03 |

| dbone | Duncan-NC: okay, i have gsynaptics, synaptic, and xserver-sorg-input-synaptics | 04:21 |

| toni | Hi folks, I'm running Ubuntu Hardy and just replaced my ATI video card with a Nvidia GeForce 6200 and now my windows are huge. It worked fine at FreeGeek could it be my monitor? My screen resolution is 640x480 and I tried chaning my monitor to 6500k (choices are 65, 75 and 8500k)but no change. I can't properly click on anything in preferences. Is an answer in Xorg? (I'm hesitant to screw with it on my own.) OR I changed to Hardy because AT | 04:34 |

| rasputins_cake | All right | 04:34 |
| tucemiux__ | rasputins_cake, the simpler -- the better, default gnome would do | 04:35 |
| hmw | Death_: excellent... first install the grub thing: sudo apt-get install grub | 04:35 |
| t3chkommie | duncan: thanks for clarifying. and dd while the drive is booted is ok right? | 04:35 |
| Duncan-NC | Don't add second disk to raid 1 until u verify os boots to md0 instead of sda | 04:35 |

| t3chkommie | i would try really hard to get that eth connected somehow or another. youll have to dwnld like 200+ updates. and i wouldnt be supprized if that fixes youre wifi problem. | 05:19 |
| t3chkommie | the problem is... you need to get on the net first. | 05:19 |
| t3chkommie | let me do some qick searching. | 05:19 |
| spectergris | is there a way I could download the updates on windows then put them on a flash key and install them in ubuntu | 05:19 |
| johnislost | anybody know how to get a tv tuner card working? dmesg sees it, but i can't run tvtime | 05:20 |
| t3chkommie | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Intel%20WiFi%20Link%205100 | 05:20 |
| t3chkommie | not all of them, but i think you could atleast get the wifi one. | 05:20 |
| root__ | you need the modules | 05:20 |
| spectergris | how | 05:21 |
| root__ | you have to find if your tv card is compatible with your linux distro | 05:21 |
| spectergris | How do I get the drivers/ | 05:22 |
| t3chkommie | http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&ProdId=3062&lang=eng | 05:22 |
| t3chkommie | that should be where you need to go to get the drivers. | 05:22 |
| spectergris | how big is the file would you know? | 05:22 |
| t3chkommie | well.. the wifi drive i mean. | 05:22 |
| t3chkommie | not sure letmme check. | 05:22 |
| root__ | you can search online | 05:22 |
| johnislost | root__ i think it is, but there's a manual card number and tuner number you have to enter to get it right, I think | 05:22 |
| root__ | and find out the chipset of your TV card | 05:23 |
| t3chkommie | http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads | 05:23 |
| johnislost | yeah, it's a saa7134 | 05:24 |

| spectergris | how do I do it | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | oh, | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | is this your first install spec? | 05:25 |
| spectergris | yeah | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | ah, | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | personally, i would just find a way to plug in the internet, and do an update. | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | the website said that the dirver is included in the newer kernals. | 05:25 |
| t3chkommie | i bet you have an old iso image and the driver hasnt been included yet. | 05:26 |
| spectergris | It's supposedly the koala | 05:26 |
| t3chkommie | thats going to be the easiest and fastes | 05:26 |
| root__ | what is it i dont know | 05:26 |
| spectergris | I did wibu | 05:26 |
| spectergris | or wubi | 05:26 |
| t3chkommie | im nost sure what wubi stands for? | 05:26 |
| spectergris | it's how you install it with out a boot disk | 05:27 |
| stephans | whats the name of the pcakage containing the linux source? I need it for vmware | 05:27 |
| t3chkommie | ok, from a flash drive then? | 05:27 |
| johnislost | root__ how to you get the modules set up? | 05:27 |
| stephans | anyone? | 05:27 |
| spectergris | no just from the internet | 05:27 |
| t3chkommie | oh. thats new to me, i havnt tried it that way. i usually just run it off a jump drive. | 05:28 |
| spectergris | but can I donload these drivers and install them from a flash drive | 05:28 |
| t3chkommie | ya | 05:28 |
| t3chkommie | but its not as easy as you think. | 05:28 |
| t3chkommie | untar the file you download, then read the "readme" file. | 05:28 |
| spectergris | untar/ | 05:29 |
| spectergris | *? | 05:29 |
| root__ | Vmware work like virtual box just download the latest one on www.kernel.org | 05:29 |
| t3chkommie | untar -> kinda like unzip. | 05:29 |
| spectergris | ah do you need an app or is that already in linux | 05:29 |
| t3chkommie | its already in linux. | 05:29 |
| spectergris | and how do you do it | 05:30 |
| t3chkommie | the hard part is installing it when you unzip it. | 05:30 |
| spectergris | how do I unzip and install | 05:30 |
| earthen | spectergris, you can copy the file to your desktop and right click and uncompress | 05:31 |
| spectergris | okay how do I install it | 05:31 |
| iflema | spectergris maybe... in windows look in device manager, look under network adapters.... confirm what your wifi hardware is..... | 05:31 |
| earthen | spectergris, you have to read the readme file | 05:31 |
| t3chkommie | i just read the readme file..... | 05:32 |
| t3chkommie | it dosnt look all the friendly. | 05:32 |

| t3chkommie | brandon, you should be able to install sensors-lm or something like that from package manager. | 05:44 |
| t3chkommie | this should help you get an idea of cpu tup. | 05:44 |

| === bdfoster_iPhone is now known as bdfoster | ||

| brjann | t3chkommie, brandon420: lm-sensors is the package you're looking for | 05:44 |
| Blue1 | vishal: could you be a bit more specific? what version are you running? 32 or 64 bit archetecture? wired, or wireless? | 05:44 |
| Zenker | its x sensors | 05:45 |

| brjann | t3chkommie: ntfs-3g is pulled in by ubuntu-standard, it should be there already | 05:55 |
| brandon420 | so anyone got ideas how why i keep crashing? | 05:55 |
| t3chkommie | really? | 05:55 |
| spectergris | I can't get on the internet in ubuntu Idk if it has something to do with the fact I installed with wubi | 05:55 |
| hexdump_ | spectergris: what is happening, just curios not sure if I know how to fix it or not. | 05:56 |
| brjann | brandon420: you really haven't given us much to go on. what sort of crashes? kernel panics? xorg crash to console? | 05:56 |
| spectergris | I can't get my wireless to work | 05:56 |
| Drooling_Sheep | spectergris, try looking in the places menu up at the top...ntfs drives show up there for me | 05:56 |
| dbone | swtz: yeah, i actually already had that file there with all of those settings. | 05:57 |
| brandon420 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5DVDz4Ri | 05:57 |
| hexdump_ | did you try the usual sudo ifconfig adapter up | 05:57 |
| hexdump_ | works for me when I have problems | 05:57 |
| spectergris | the terminal says command not recognised | 05:57 |
| t3chkommie | dbone, i remember there was something else i had to enable first..... | 05:57 |
| swtz | dbone: the default file has all those settings, but those are COMMENTED by default. | 05:57 |
| brjann | brandon420: that pastebin has 7500 lines in it :) where should I be looking? | 05:58 |
| hexdump_ | spectergris run as sudo | 05:58 |
| brandon420 | you tell me | 05:58 |
| brandon420 | lmao, i have no idea where to start googling | 05:58 |
| sibble | is there a way i can find out what in conky is currently using 21% of my memory (2GB) ? - it took it's time to get up to that much memory use, restarting it to troubleshoot would probably take a while to get back up to this much usage | 05:58 |
| spectergris | so I type "sudo ipconfig adapter up"? | 05:58 |
| hexdump_ | yes | 05:58 |
| hexdump_ | try that | 05:58 |
| spectergris | Okay brb have to reboot | 05:58 |
| swtz | dbone: you need to remove the "<!-- EXAMPLES:" and "-->" between then or move the lines you want outside the comment area | 05:58 |
| brjann | brandon420: i'm not asking you to solve the problem by yourself, just help me narrow down where to look in this log you've posted. do you have an approximate time when the computer crashed, so I can go by timestamps? | 05:59 |
| swtz | dbone: apologize if you done that already | 05:59 |
| hexdump_ | then chech iwconfig and let me know what you have there | 05:59 |
| earthen | spectergris, what wireless card does ubuntu say you have. do a lspci in the terminal and see what it finds. look for a line that has wirelles in it | 05:59 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble you can look at what processes are running in System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 05:59 |
| hexdump_ | that works too lspci or if you have a usb lsusb | 05:59 |
| brandon420 | oh 00:32 ish | 05:59 |
| Scarra3 | No brjann can you tell me exactly what I need to do | 06:00 |
| brandon420 | there are multiple crashes in that log somewhere | 06:00 |
| t3chkommie | anyone know about how long a DD of 60 gb hdd would take? | 06:00 |
| spectergris | eathern and hexdup I'll brb with that info | 06:00 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: just says conky | 06:00 |
| DcMeese | I have just successfully created an apt iPhone repository with ubuntu 9.10!! | 06:00 |
| hexdump_ | send it to output and dcc it to me if you want | 06:00 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, you can do View -> all processes to see everything | 06:01 |
| Drooling_Sheep | then sort my memory usage | 06:01 |
| brjann | Scarra3: you can follow the instructions here for karmic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20b43/STA%20hybrib%20drivers | 06:01 |

| Guest983 | hi | 06:04 |
| brjann | brandon420: can you describe the crash for me in detail? | 06:04 |
| earthen | brandon420, did you try to disable your video card or even something simple as turning off all the visual Effects? | 06:04 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, that sounds like a lot for a "lightweight system monitor" | 06:04 |
| sibble | well | 06:05 |
| earthen | brandon420, video card drivers i mean | 06:05 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: i think it's slowly leaking memory | 06:05 |
| Drooling_Sheep | that's what it looks like to me | 06:05 |
| hexdump_ | Guest983: hi how are ya | 06:05 |
| sibble | 1 day uptime - 432MiB memory | 06:05 |
| sibble | scary to think what 2-3 days will look like hehe | 06:05 |
| Drooling_Sheep | you can try killing it | 06:05 |
| hexdump_ | Guest983: everybody is probably busy working on something. | 06:06 |
| sibble | yea i guess i could run a cron job to restart it every 24 hours or somethign | 06:06 |
| aruntomar | Guest983: we are already into linux system administration | 06:06 |
| brandon420 | sorry, did you say anything? i crashed again | 06:06 |
| brjann | brandon420: yeah, I asked if you could describe the details of how it crashes for me :) | 06:07 |
| t3chkommie | <---- needs some help with a software RAID1 | 06:07 |
| jrot | hello,.. | 06:07 |
| earthen | brandon420, did you try to disable your video card driver or even something simple as turning off all the visual Effects? | 06:07 |
| jrot | what? | 06:07 |
| brandon420 | ok, one min its fine, then its just freezes, and i get some weird blank screen with lines | 06:07 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, maybe file a bug report? | 06:08 |
| brandon420 | and i have tried all the drivers, and while i did that, i had all the settings on low | 06:08 |
| t3chkommie | i wonder if youre res is messed up? | 06:08 |
| brjann | brandon420: lines like graphical lines? like the video card freaking out? | 06:08 |
| Drooling_Sheep | that's all you can really do I think | 06:08 |
| brandon420 | kinda | 06:08 |
| SolarisBoy | have you looked at X logs? | 06:08 |
| brandon420 | x logs? | 06:08 |
| oliver_ | Hi | 06:09 |
| SolarisBoy | /var/log/Xorg.0 | 06:09 |
| t3chkommie | grrrrr raids...... | 06:09 |
| brandon420 | sorry for the dumb questions by the way, im still attemping to learn | 06:09 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: should i? i mean, how do I know it's just not some script im using with conky | 06:09 |
| oliver_ | does anyone know how to get voice chat to work on ubuntu? | 06:09 |
| t3chkommie | oliver, like google talk? | 06:10 |
| dbone | swtz: tried commenting it out, i guess i should restart it | 06:10 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: its not dumb | 06:10 |
| brandon420 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6NrLCihY | 06:10 |
| oliver_ | I did that and it suggested gycite or something like it and I can not find it anywhere. | 06:10 |
| brjann | brandon420: there's not much to go by in your syslogs. do me a favor, the next time your computer crashes and appears to freeze, tap the num lock or caps lock key a few times, and see if the LED indicator lights up on your keyboard when you do | 06:10 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: you switch over to console and check out whats in the log | 06:10 |
| t3chkommie | oliver, im not sure about what works with that, i use skype. havnt had anyluck with google talk. | 06:11 |
| brandon420 | and by console you mean crtl f1? | 06:11 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, I guess you don't...I don't know too much about conky specifically but I would think it doesn't let scripts do their own memory management | 06:11 |
| oliver_ | does skype work on yahoo? | 06:11 |
| brandon420 | and i will try that next time it crashes, it should only take a coupla mins | 06:11 |
| dbone | alright, I'm going to do a restart and see what happens. bbl | 06:11 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: yea thats true | 06:11 |
| t3chkommie | oliver, i dont think so. | 06:12 |
| oliver_ | Ok thank you | 06:12 |
| brjann | brandon420: okay, thanks. | 06:12 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: when does this happen? the freezing? is it once you have done a particular thing? what point does this happen? | 06:12 |
| brandon420 | http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn192/badsector76/IMAGE_145.jpg thats the closes thing that i could find to what it looks like | 06:12 |
| brandon420 | there isnt a trend | 06:12 |
| SolarisBoy | most of those lines are II and not EE | 06:13 |
| brandon420 | i was thinking i might have had too much running, but with only pidgin running it still crashes | 06:13 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: when does it happen? | 06:13 |
| t3chkommie | brandon, id put my next paycheck on the fact that your resolution is farting up. can you bring it down to something stupidly low? | 06:13 |
| oliver_ | I tried to down load some drivers for my printer on a disk intended for windows. Only I didn't need them after all. Now when I try to empty it from my trash it says I do not have permission. | 06:13 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: i guess i should have left it running if im going to file a bug report huh hehe | 06:13 |
| brandon420 | i do have compiz maxed out, and a dock, but it was crashing before i installed it | 06:13 |
| oliver_ | I tried some of the things suggested on the support sites but nothing has worked so far. | 06:14 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: have you checked for fs errors? | 06:14 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: file system errors | 06:14 |
| brandon420 | @t3chkommie: i have tried putting it on 1024x768 and it stukk dud ut | 06:14 |
| brjann | t3chkommie: it would be fairly unusual for a resolution problem to panic the system, if it is a hard freeze like he's saying | 06:14 |
| brandon420 | fs errirs? | 06:14 |
| === denny is now known as dbone | ||
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: none of those lines in your xorg indicate an issue | 06:14 |
| === Dougdoug4__ is now known as Dougdoug4 | ||
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: never filed a bug report before, what would be the best way to do that next time i see conky using half a gig of memory? ubuntu-bug <PID> ? | 06:14 |
| brandon420 | = / | 06:14 |
| dbone | still no luck getting multi-touch to work :-/ | 06:14 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: you are able to log in ans start pidgin correct? | 06:14 |
| Zenker | idk what you guys did to make celestia run so well for ubuntu, but to whome ever responsible, you are a freakin genious, ive had that prog sinc 600mhz was an amazingly blistering speed for a puter, im soo impressed | 06:15 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: and log in? but at some point in your session this happends? | 06:15 |
| brandon420 | yeah | 06:15 |
| t3chkommie | dbone, there was something i had to enable first, i think it was calls SMHconfig | 06:15 |
| brandon420 | the computer runs great, it just randomly crashes | 06:15 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: check messages and dmesg output for errors.. | 06:15 |
| brjann | brandon420: how old is the computer? specifically, how old are the memory modules in it? | 06:15 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: yes im thinking hardware or something of the likes | 06:15 |
| brandon420 | the computer is pretty new, its just a crappy walmart comp my mom bought | 06:16 |
| brandon420 | and it doesnt crash with windows =/ | 06:16 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: have you checked the message log? | 06:16 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: already have done, he posted his syslog earlier and I've already combed through it. not much besides an unstable clock source | 06:16 |
| t3chkommie | how big is the screen? | 06:16 |
| brandon420 | its like a 17 inch | 06:16 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: brandon420 i think you should check the File System | 06:16 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, I'd probably file it with the people who handle conky, ubuntu probably just pulls it downstream from debian without changing it much. Are you using the latest version (1.7.2)? | 06:17 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: (the clocksource was the other thing I was thinking to try, e.g. boot with clocksource=hpet and see how it does) | 06:17 |
| dbone | t3chkommie: there's and SHMConfig, i'm going to try to enable it through xorg.conf in the inputdevice section | 06:17 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: true | 06:17 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: have you only checked the syslog? | 06:17 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: yes 1.7.2 from repos | 06:17 |
| t3chkommie | dbone, shmconfig | 06:18 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: syslog may be sending most stuff to messages or debug even? | 06:18 |
| brandon420 | num lock nor caps lock worked. | 06:18 |
| meowbuntu | mu desktop icons disapeared how can i get them back | 06:18 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: i thought it was the other way around -- on ubuntu I thought messages was the miscellaneous stuff that didn't match important things | 06:19 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: but it's possible | 06:19 |
| brandon420 | 17 inch screen and 1280x1024 res | 06:19 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: i would imagine that depends on whats in syslog.conf | 06:19 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: well yes. | 06:19 |
| dbone | t3chkommie: tried just putting shmconfig into a console, ha no luck. any idea how to enable? | 06:19 |
| t3chkommie | ya hold on | 06:19 |
| PostGreSql | Hello I believe I have upgraded my PostGreSQL 8.3 to 8.4.....incorrectly. Is there someone who can via private message walk me through upgrading this correctly and cleaning up the 8.3 left over. | 06:19 |
| brjann | brandon420: okay, so at least we know it is in fact a hard lock-up | 06:20 |

| dr3mro | please what is the best video format in ubuntu to save disk space ???????? | 06:20 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, okay, because I saw they fixed a bunch of memory leaks a while back, but it doesn't look like anything has changed since august | 06:20 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: so what are you thinking? fsck, clocksource=hpet, memtest? | 06:20 |
| oliver_ | Does anyone know how to delete files from your trash bin when it says you do not have permission? | 06:20 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: indeed | 06:20 |
| brandon420 | [ 82.500032] Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -65301587 ns)+ | 06:21 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: i think a quick fsck may prove helpful | 06:21 |
| aruntomar | dr3mro: ogg | 06:21 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: hmm | 06:21 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: yea i saw those, i think the bug was filed in ubuntu 7.10 | 06:21 |
| t3chkommie | oliver, you gota be a su | 06:21 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: yeah, worth a shot. | 06:21 |
| t3chkommie | let me look at the code. | 06:21 |
| aruntomar | dr3mro: wht's the current video format that u have? | 06:21 |
| oliver_ | su? | 06:21 |
| PostGreSql | Hello I believe I have upgraded my PostGreSQL 8.3 to 8.4.....incorrectly. Is there someone who can via private message walk me through upgrading this correctly and cleaning up the 8.3 left over. | 06:21 |
| brjann | brandon420: that's *sometimes* normal. my machine does it too. but it can cause freezes sometimes, too, or so I've read | 06:21 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: in that bug report, he said conky was using a gig in a couple of hours, that's a little more then i experienced | 06:21 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: i think memtest or something similar is good idea as well | 06:21 |
| SolarisBoy | yea thats why im not sure about that one line, does it even correlate to a time of a crash brandon420 ? | 06:22 |
| oliver_ | What is a su? | 06:22 |
| dr3mro | aruntomar, xvid and rmvb and mp4 | 06:22 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: i am using 64bit too though | 06:22 |
| SolarisBoy | i've seen that before on other distros as well | 06:22 |
| brandon420 | it happens wayy to offten to be normal, i have had ubuntu many times, and havent had this problem | 06:22 |
| t3chkommie | oliver, put this in your terminal sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* | 06:22 |
| dr3mro | aruntomar, ogg is for audio | 06:22 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, if you restart it and it's using a small amount of memory that slowly (or quickly) grows that sounds like a memory leak to me | 06:22 |
| oliver_ | Ok thankyou I will try that. | 06:23 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: that message is repeating? or was it just a odd insert? | 06:23 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: i noticed the clocksource unstable line occurred more than once a few lines before klogd initialized at boot time | 06:23 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: yea sounds like it to me as well | 06:23 |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: yep | 06:23 |
| brandon420 | let me check, i just saw that | 06:23 |
| PostGreSql | .....any1 here know about PostGreSQL stuff? | 06:23 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: im used to memory leaks, thats why i switched to ubuntu from vista ;) | 06:23 |
| SolarisBoy | can you repost the syslog? | 06:24 |
| dr3mro | sibble, ubuntu also has some memory leaks but not much and usually because you use some svn ppa | 06:24 |
| brjann | SolarisBoy: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5DVDz4Ri | 06:24 |
| Drooling_Sheep | sibble, haha nice | 06:24 |
| dr3mro | aruntomar, ?? | 06:24 |
| dbone | got it. Okay, I'm going to reboot and see if I have any luck. | 06:24 |
| dr3mro | please what is the best video format in ubuntu to save disk space ???????? | 06:24 |
| t3chkommie | dbone good luck | 06:24 |

| dr3mro | aruntomar, i know ogv but i dont know hot to convert to it | 06:25 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: i guess im just trying to figure out where to file the bug report now | 06:25 |
| brandon420 | the clocksource is a repeating one thought | 06:26 |
| oliver_ | Now it says [sudo] password: and a box just flashes it wont let me type in it. | 06:26 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: i think im gona join #conky and bring it up in there :) | 06:26 |
| brandon420 | it has different numbers each time though | 06:26 |
| PostGreSql | is there a chat room for PostGreSql support? | 06:26 |
| sibble | Drooling_Sheep: thanks for all your help ;) | 06:26 |

| t3chkommie | it wont show you ****** | 06:26 |

| SolarisBoy | brandon4201: fsck the disk and check for errors allow fsck to try to fix them | 06:39 |
| * brjann is too used to typing /etc | 06:39 | |
| SolarisBoy | brjann: precisely .. run fsck | 06:40 |
| SolarisBoy | vishal: what was the output of the command? | 06:40 |
| vishal | solaris boy :ls -ltrh /dev/ttyusb0 ? after giving this also it is showing cannot access /dev/ttyusb0 | 06:40 |
| SolarisBoy | so does that device that the software you calling exist? | 06:40 |
| brjann | vishal: /dev/ttyUSB0, the USB should be capitalized | 06:40 |
| tushar95in | any solution for me ? | 06:41 |
| brandon4201 | nothing happened when i entered that command | 06:41 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon4201: nothing will happen | 06:41 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon4201: this creates a file which informs the system to run fsck on reboot | 06:41 |

| SolarisBoy | vishal: make your program use that... | 06:42 |
| SolarisBoy | ;> | 06:42 |
| SolarisBoy | vishal: did you put that incorrect device in some config file? | 06:43 |
| vishal | no not at all | 06:43 |
| SolarisBoy | check the config file under [Dialer Defaults] Stanza then | 06:43 |
| brjann | vishal: when you try to use wvdial to dial, are you using sudo? i'm finding some evidence that wvdial needs to be run as root | 06:44 |
| vishal | no m not using sudo | 06:44 |
| SolarisBoy | possibly you need to? | 06:44 |
| SolarisBoy | i think you do because there is a group i see for people who have access to dial out modem lines.. | 06:44 |

| brandon420 | yeah | 06:48 |
| SolarisBoy | vishal: i wonder what all did it check? | 06:48 |
| SolarisBoy | vishal: it needs to likely check the root disk.. i wonder if you can dd if=/dev/rootdisk of=/dev/null without a i/o error... | 06:49 |
| brandon420 | if anyone thinks that im missing something, i can hook em up with my vnc info... cause this is really annoying | 06:49 |
| SolarisBoy | vishal: its alarming that df -ah makes your system crash... | 06:49 |
| brandon420 | that made mine crash too.... | 06:49 |
| SolarisBoy | oops | 06:50 |
| brjann | brandon420: unfortunately most of the stuff we're gonna have you do is outside of normal system operation, so vnc wouldn't help much anyway | 06:50 |

| SolarisBoy | Guest55573: yes.. this is related to the fact that you updated glibc in that manner i believe | 07:14 |

| Unislash | i recently resized my windows 7 partition using grub, but now windows 7 doesn't want to boot it (duh). I've run the "repair windows" deal and it didn't fix it, as well as check disk. My windows drive is perfectly in tact, it's just that 7 isn't looking in the right place to boot from. Clearly, win 7 doesn't use Grub as its boot loader... i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how i can fix this | 07:15 |
| silentx | shall complete the installation | 07:16 |
| lawrence | how can i find out | 07:16 |
| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: So if I formatted the NTFS to ext3, it's all gone for good now? | 07:16 |
| SolarisBoy | brandon420: not sure but its certainly related to those constant segfaults.. | 07:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | lawrence, cat /proc/cpuinfo | 07:16 |
| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: Because gpart can /find/ the NTFS partition I'm trying to recover, but it wants another 500 GB drive to attempt recovery. | 07:16 |
| === kamanashisroy is now known as _saya | ||
| LinuxGuy2009 | claptrap: Well then that answers your question. | 07:17 |
| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: Actually, no, it doesn't. My question is whether or not there is ANOTHER way to recover that drive, or even individual files, as I simply have no way of getting my hands on a second 500GB hard drive right now. | 07:18 |
| b2p1mp | how can i add the win7 printer share to print in ubuntu 910? | 07:18 |
| lawrence | 2.66 Ghertz | 07:18 |
| Losha | claptrap: if you formatted it, but didn't otherwise write on it, many of the files may be recoverable. You can try e2retrieve if it's ext3. I recovered a surprising amount of data from a disk that would no longer mount using EASUS on windows. You have to pay for it, but you can at least run the free demo first to see if it finds anything... | 07:18 |
| meowbuntu | how can i configure wine to read a usb device | 07:18 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | claptrap: Well yeah it does answer the question. You just said that you need another 500gb drive to recover it. There ya go. | 07:18 |

| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: Thank you for clearly not listening at all. :) | 07:19 |
| airtonix | meowbuntu, assuming you have the usb drive plugged in. | 07:19 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | claptrap: You not being able to afford to buy one is beside the point. | 07:19 |
| claptrap | Losha: Well, it's ext3 NOW. It was NTFS before I screwed it up. | 07:19 |

| b2p1mp | to get to windows printer share, i add URI device? | 07:19 |
| b2p1mp | no | 07:19 |
| SolarisBoy | Guest55573: thats really offtopic, i would try rhel or rhel like channel | 07:19 |
| danx | claptrap: you can try with "testdisk", parted has a recovery option too but I'm not sure if it supports ntfs | 07:19 |

| sine | hi guys in ubuntu 9.10 i have 2 alternate desktop windows. can i increase that to 4 im sure it used to have 4 | 07:20 |
| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: My question is whether or not there was a method that didn't involve a second hard drive. I don't see how I can be any more clear on what I'm asking. | 07:20 |
| Guest55573 | SolarisBoy, ok thank u | 07:20 |
| airtonix | meowbuntu, also assumes that the usb drive is mounted by ubuntu in the first place so that you can access it via normal methods on your desktop | 07:20 |
| claptrap | danx: How does that work, do you know? | 07:20 |
| lawrence | gba | 07:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | claptrap: No theres no way to fit 500GB on a smaller drive. No. | 07:20 |
| claptrap | LinuxGuy2009: Please just stop trying. You're not listening to me at all, and you're really only frustrating me more. Thank you for trying, though. | 07:21 |
| danx | claptrap: both options will try to switch the filesystem back to ntfs, if you haven't write anything on your hard drive, your data is intact | 07:21 |
| mechcozmo | hello, how can i run "modprobe ndiswrapper" at startup? | 07:21 |
| airtonix | claptrap, are you thinking of possibilites to revert the format ? | 07:21 |
| Losha | claptrap: EASUS works with ntfs also, but it has to be run from windows, it costs money, and you need somewhere to put the retrieved files. You're unlikely to retrieve all 500GB anyway, but you definitely can't write them back to the same drive you're trying to recover them from. Sorry, that's just the way it is... | 07:21 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | claptrap: Not sure what answer you want but thats the jist of it. Sorry. | 07:21 |

| airtonix | srini, echo $DISPLAY ? | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Srini: define "name" please | 07:23 |
| claptrap | Losha: Well, even if I can't recover the whole 500 GB, I need to get SOME of those files off of there. Pics, text files, that sorta thing. If I can even just, somehow, grab some of them and move on to the 250, I wouldn't feel nearly as horrible as I do right now. | 07:23 |
| claptrap | airtonix: If that's a possibility, yed. | 07:23 |
| danx | claptrap: you'll find some info on what you need to do in the info ubottu gave you via PM, I don't remember if those links have info about "testdisk" but it is also a good tool (besides parted) | 07:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: got backups? | 07:23 |
| srini | Airtonix: i want to get my monitor details model, vendor,... | 07:24 |
| srini | Actionparsnip: i want to get my monitor details model, vendor,... | 07:24 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Unfortunately, no. That's part of what I was hoping to do, soon. It's part of why I was doing this formatting in the first place. /= | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Srini: try /var/log/Xorg.log.0 file or read through: dmes | less | 07:24 |
| Losha | claptrap: well, start with the free tools of course. In my own case (not the same as yours) EASUS was the only thing that found anything useful... | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: foremost may help. Get a backup asap | 07:25 |
| claptrap | danx: Yeah, I saw some info on testdisk on one of those, I think, but it wasn't very apparent what it did and it was near all the other ones that needed a second physical drive, so I wasn't sure. | 07:25 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Yeah, definitely. /= | 07:25 |

| Unislash | guys, does anyone know how to edit the boot path of windows 7? i'm running grub, but chain loading into windows 7's boot loader... no idea how to edit that | 07:25 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: That looks like it still needs another 500 GB drive, though. | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !grub2 | unislash, tells you how in here | 07:26 |
| ubottu | unislash, tells you how in here: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 07:26 |
| danx | claptrap: you don't "need" a second hard drive, but it is recommended to dump the whole hard drive in case something goes wrong | 07:26 |
| claptrap | danx: How d'you mean? | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: not if you tell it the sorts of files you want to recover | 07:26 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: Ah. | 07:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | ActionParsnip, this is totally OT and "out of left field" but saw an answer you gave on LP and just wanted to point out that VirtualBox can infact use physical partitions (Warning - "for experts only") http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk | 07:27 |
| Unislash | actionparsnip: does grub2 actually boot windows partitions? or does it use a chain loader? | 07:27 |
| === kb is now known as Guest94058 | ||
| puser | how can I disable del key in file managers in gnome? | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: the drive will be read raw and unmounted, you will then spit the files to a mounted partition | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Unislash: i'd imagine chainload. I don't use windows anymore but that's usually the deal | 07:28 |
| Losha | claptrap: if you had the space, you'd make an image copy of the 500GB drive and run recovery on the image, so that the original was not in danger of being further damaged. You don't have that luxury (neither did I, the disk the failed was a 1.5TB disk) so do what you can... | 07:28 |
| srini | Actionparsnip: now i am using Samsung monitor... any command to get these detail? | 07:28 |
| claptrap | Losha, ActionParsnip: I saw someone up there mention reverting the format. Any ideas on that? | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Srini: read the log file, it may show the model. The dmesg may too. You could just look at the back of the device | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: reverting? | 07:29 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: That was the term that... -Scrolls up.- airtonix used up there. | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Claptrap: you may lose filenames and some files may get truncated but otherwise it should be fine | 07:30 |
| airtonix | claptrap, it would only work if the only thing you changed was the file allocation table...otherwise you're out of luck . its also a fairly difficult task by any means | 07:30 |
| Unislash | actionparsnip: hmmm... doesn't say in there... i can edit grub, but i can't figure out how to edit the chainloader. It's definitely a windoze thing, but lets be honest, who'd ever do this but those who dual boot... so i figure someone might know | 07:30 |
| claptrap | airtonix: All I did was format the drive from NTFS to ext3. Not sure if that qualifies. | 07:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Unislash: someone else may be able to contribute :) | 07:31 |
| claptrap | ActionParsnip: For reverting the format, you mean, or referring to something else? | 07:31 |
| Losha | claptrap: in theory, all the data is still there, so if you could reformat the drive with the original parameters, everything would be the same as the original. It's possible to do this with ext3 (though it's risky, which is why you'd want to try it on an image copy) but I've no idea if it can be done with ntfs and you risk scrambling the data beyond all hope of retrieval if it doesn't work. Unfortunatly, there's really no substitute fo | 07:32 |
| Losha | r backups.... | 07:32 |
| claptrap | Losha: Yeah, there really isn't. I've been preaching that to people like mad, and then... -Sighs.- | 07:32 |
| Unislash | hmm... might have found something. *cross fingers* | 07:33 |
| gaoyuan_ | ls | 07:33 |
| gaoyuan_ | hi | 07:33 |
| claptrap | Losha: So you mean, just format it as NTFS and it should be good, or what? Or does it need to, like, have the exact same partitioning? 'cause I know Windows reserved some for swap and all that fun shite. | 07:33 |
| Losha | claptrap: yeah, well, it's not like I didn't get caught myself... | 07:33 |
| claptrap | Losha: So, what it seems is that my only real option, short of buying another 500 GB HDD with $40 I don't have (and it's an old Seagate Barracuda at that. Talk about failure. :|) is to try foremost and try to recover whatever individual files I can onto my 250? | 07:37 |
| Losha | claptrap: I've seen it done on an ext3 disk: restoring the *exact* partition table kept the data intact. I've no idea if it works with ntfs. That stuff is all reverse-engineered anyway. | 07:37 |

| Dagon | Gnea, thank you very much :) | 07:40 |
| Gnea | pths: nope, you've figured it out right | 07:40 |
| Gnea | pths: but I'm guessing that you'd like to have $i contain the whole string "Windows XP client", which would mean that you're using a for-loop needlessly | 07:41 |
| pths | I've got a list over more VMs, that is just one part of the script that is making trouble | 07:42 |

| indus | akshay, then run sudo update-grub | 08:05 |

| tomoj | has anyone seen lack of iso9660 in the JeOS kernel? | 08:08 |

| akshay | indus:let me try | 08:09 |
| indus | akshay, but before that | 08:09 |
| Flannel | beni-: Do you have another computer with a CD drive (or Ubuntu installed on it?) | 08:09 |
| indus | akshay, just try this easy one step, sudo update-grub and see it new kernel is seen | 08:09 |
| DarwinSurvivor | beni-: unetbootin will put any ubuntu iso image onto a usb drive | 08:09 |
| indus | i go lunch now | 08:09 |

| akshay | indus:but how to edit the grub.cfg | 08:11 |
| akshay | indus : i want to give a custom name | 08:11 |
| Flannel | beni-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD has a number of methods, you can find one that works for your setup (server CD is the same as the alternate CD as far as boot methods are concerned) | 08:12 |
| subham | akshay :: i don't think you nead to edit this file in grub2 | 08:12 |
| will__ | subham | 08:12 |

| subham | ok | 08:14 |
| WinterSky | How do you set an application as the default for a file type? (Ubuntu 9.10) | 08:15 |
| akshay | subham, can u help me | 08:15 |
| lindar | Okay, my problem is thus: I am on a netbook. When I plug in my external monitor and tell it to switch to it (mirror monitor, extending, anything), the whole system freezes. If I tell it to turn off the external monitor, it freezes. So, what I've had to do is restart, plug in my monitor, and then it only goes from that, and I have to restart and unplug it to go back to the netbook screen. | 08:15 |
| lindar | Using Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit. | 08:15 |
| subham | akshay :: you want to edit the entries for grub 2 for .. which part ... I have tried to change the entry for windows xp part ... on system .... | 08:15 |
| will__ | anyone got experience with nautilus or can tell me who to talk to about it | 08:16 |
| will__ | got a prob | 08:16 |
| akshay | subham, wat command shud i type to edit the grub.cgf file | 08:16 |
| lindar | will__, don't ask to ask, just ask. | 08:16 |
| will__ | ok | 08:17 |
| subham | akshay :: gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme | 08:17 |
| will__ | i downloaded from gnome eye candy nautilus xml animated background editor | 08:17 |
| will__ | i want to remove it | 08:17 |
| will__ | because i cannot right click the desktop and change background or themese | 08:18 |
| will__ | themes | 08:18 |
| will__ | anyone know how | 08:18 |
| lindar | Then you should probably use Synaptic to remove it. | 08:18 |
| linux_guru_mania | hey | 08:18 |
| lindar | Also, please try to constrain your posts to one or two lines as nobody likes to see it | 08:18 |
| akshay | subham,wat r u telling me | 08:18 |
| will__ | do you know what its called, i dont want to delete NAUTILUS all together and mess something up | 08:18 |

| DarwinSurvivor | beni-: ok, so apparently ubuntu uses upstart with 9.10, is there a GUI for manager which services start at bootup?? | 08:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | oops, sorry, didn't mean to send that to beni :P | 08:19 |
| akshay | subham, like menu.lst .........we use to edit ..........in similar fashion i want to edit grub.cgf | 08:19 |
| DarwinSurvivor | ok, so apparently ubuntu uses upstart with 9.10, is there a GUI for manager which services start at bootup?? | 08:19 |
| subham | akshay :: sory | 08:19 |
| lindar | DarwinSurvivor, yeah, go to System > Startup Applications | 08:20 |
| will__ | so basically just go in synaptic and remove nautilus right | 08:20 |
| subham | akshay :: no this cant be done so as it is having some differences in this grub 2 | 08:20 |
| trelane_ | having a power manglement problem. I have my laptop hooked up to an external monitor, however every time I close the lit it suspends. As I'm not using the LCD display on the monitor (preferring my larger desktop panel), this is a bit annoying as I have to leave the laptop open consuming space. Is there a way to get Ubuntu to simply IGNORE closing the lid? | 08:20 |
| Losha | DarwinSurvivor: see if 'bum' is available for your distro.... | 08:20 |
| meco | I have installed the Flashblocker add-on for Firefox, but I can't seem to enable it. Any suggestions? | 08:20 |
| lindar | will__, no you probably don't want to do that as that's your file manager, unless you have another one you'd like to use. You probably want to remove the specific thing you added. | 08:20 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lindar: gah, since it was under "preferences" (which is usually user-specific stuff), I thought that was login-startups... | 08:21 |
| lindar | meco: Go to to Tools > Add-ons | 08:21 |
| meco | lindar: Done that | 08:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | why did they move that from "Administration" to "Preferences"?!? | 08:21 |
| will__ | well it downloaded as a zip entitled 110874-emlb | 08:21 |
| subham | akshay :: just a minit let me chake out the correct command for it .. | 08:21 |
| lindar | meco: Dunno. I probably have the same one. Did you restart Firefox? | 08:21 |
| Judgeholden | Hello all. | 08:21 |
| akshay | subham,, ya pls | 08:21 |
| lindar | will__, if you compiled it yourself, then you shouldn't have to ask me how to remove it. <3 | 08:21 |
| will__ | how do i find that and remove it through synaptic | 08:21 |
| meco | lindar: YEs | 08:21 |
| DarwinSurvivor | lindar: actually, nvm, that is the *WRONG* gui, i want SYSTEM startups, not gnome launches! | 08:22 |
| subham | akshay :: can you have an look at http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/customizing-grub2-ubuntu-linux.html | 08:22 |
| subham | this will help you a lot | 08:23 |
| DarwinSurvivor | Losha: seems kind of weird for ubuntu to switch to upstart without supplying a GUI for managing it (same can be said for grub2) | 08:23 |
| will__ | well im really asking if you know what to remove, do i just delete it or uninstall something | 08:23 |
| lindar | Flashblock 1.5.11.2 ? It works for me. I'll assume you tried all the stupid shit (restarting, waving a chicken, talking dirty to it, and going to its preferences and ticking the little box that says "ENABLE FLASHBLOCK"). | 08:23 |
| Losha | DarwinSurvivor: don't get me started.... | 08:23 |
| meco | I have the Flashblock add-on for Firefox installed, but it isn't working. It is enabled in the Add-On meny and Javascript is also enabled. What could be the problem? | 08:24 |
| lindar | will__, did you compile the software yourself? If so, then I can't really help you. If you're compiling stuff yourself, I would assume you know how to remove it. | 08:24 |
| meco | lindar: Actually, it's 1.2.9a that I have... | 08:24 |
| will__ | no i didnt, just downloaded it, it said open the zip click the install.sh file and enjoy | 08:24 |
| lindar | meco: Dunno. You did all the stupid things? | 08:24 |
| meco | lindar: I haven't compiled it myself | 08:25 |
| lindar | will__, dunno then. | 08:25 |
| foul_owl | quick question, any good codec identifying packages for ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| lindar | Look for an uninstaller? =\ | 08:25 |
| will__ | well thanx anyway, appreciate the help | 08:25 |
| Losha | foul_owl: mplayr plays pretty much everything and should tell you the codecs... | 08:26 |
| meco | lindar: It actually has an uninstall button, but it's greyed out. | 08:26 |
| subham | akshay :: you want to make changes for xp part or some thing els | 08:26 |
| lindar | meco: Click on preferences next to the icon and tell me what pops up, please. | 08:26 |
| Losha | foul_owl: mplayr -> mplayer | 08:26 |

| Efreak | how do i stop xserver from starting at boot? | 08:27 |
| Efreak | o_O | 08:27 |
| meco | lindar: I have a menu where I can unclick 'enable' and add items to a whitelist | 08:27 |
| Losha | foul_owl: unusual, but not unheard of. Try another player e.g. vlc or xine... | 08:27 |
| foul_owl | Losha: I get "Could not connect to socket" and "no such file or directory" then it exits | 08:28 |
| dugger5688 | Efreak, why do you want it to stop? | 08:28 |
| === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather | ||

| foul_owl | Losha: I tried vlc, and it just hangs. haven't tried xine yet. i am looking for a tool like gspot that can tell me the codec or possibly verify integrity | 08:28 |

| Efreak | i did start with ubuntu-server | 08:29 |
| Efreak | but I wanted to be able to log in via xrdp; I've solved that bit already | 08:29 |

| fstx | dugger5688: One thing Iäve noticed is that the ifconfig counters keep ticking | 08:49 |

| theadmin | Losha: Well, yeah, that's true. | 08:59 |
| meco | lindar: Now I have only one tab open in Firefox and it draws around 30% CPU... | 08:59 |
| linuxlurker | meco any flash components on that tab? | 09:00 |
| theadmin | meco: Firefox has a huge leak issue, it never gives the memory back until you kill it, same with CPU i belive... At least on windows | 09:00 |
| meco | linuxlurker: No, and besides Flashblock is enabled | 09:00 |
| linuxlurker | I'm using chromium lately | 09:00 |
| linuxlurker | Firefox seems to have become as bloated as IE :) | 09:01 |
| meco | theadmin: OK, so the solution to my problems is basically what I am relegated to already: killing the app and restarting it whenever things start going syrupy? | 09:01 |
| theadmin | linuxlurker: No, not even close. Just don't install all those tons of addons | 09:01 |
| theadmin | meco: Yeah :( | 09:01 |
| * Friction[laptop] has about 25 extensions :D | 09:02 | |
| dugger5688 | Chromiums FTW!! | 09:02 |
| lindar | meco: That's ducked up. | 09:02 |
| Friction[laptop] | chrome doesn't have anywhere near as many extensions | 09:02 |
| Friction[laptop] | but as soon as it does i'm switching | 09:02 |
| dugger5688 | I've also been digging epiphany for very very light browsing. | 09:02 |
| * theadmin has 6 extensions only | 09:03 | |
| _saya | how do I lock my linux distro ? | 09:03 |
| meco | lindar: What has? | 09:03 |
| Beea | I have an older laptop Dell 1100 I just ordered 9. and realized my old computer may not run it. | 09:03 |
| theadmin | _saya: Huh? | 09:03 |
| dugger5688 | Why not use firefox when you need the extensions and others when you don't | 09:03 |
| meco | Sorry, I don't know i "ducked up" is an idiom... | 09:03 |
| lindar | meco: Just commenting on the memory leaks. | 09:03 |
| linuxlurker | _saya, I'm not sure your question makes sense | 09:03 |
| Friction[laptop] | because i always use extensions | 09:03 |
| Clay^Work | _saya: ctrl + alt + L | 09:03 |
| Losha | meco: more of a typo than an idiom... | 09:04 |
| linuxlurker | ah lock the screen? !! | 09:04 |
| lindar | Losha: No, I was just being cute. | 09:04 |
| Beea | Does any one know if a Dell 1100 can use ubuntu 9 if not does ubuntu have something that will work | 09:04 |
| Losha | lindar: yeah, me too... | 09:04 |
| meco | Losha: Yeah... I caught that one a bit late | 09:04 |
| meco | A euphemism rather | 09:04 |
| lindar | Ugh, I feel totally stupid, but I can't seem to figure out how to move the damn task bar. -_- | 09:04 |
| vishal | dmesg -c ,,,,,what it does | 09:05 |
| theadmin | lindar: Right click it, choose Properties, change "Orientation" | 09:05 |
| lindar | theadmin, there's nowhere to click it. It's absolutely filled. | 09:05 |
| llutz | vishal: "man dmesg" | 09:05 |
| _saya | linuxlurker, Clay^Work, theadmin, thanks for reply .. I think I should have asked how I copy protect my ubuntu turnkey .. I want to secure my personal code .. | 09:05 |
| Zenker | i just came back for a sec to NOT thank anyone for helping me earlier, luckily, im not STUPID and i figured out how to install blender 2.49b | 09:06 |
| siropio | hello guys how i can configure my Database URL o work with JDBC?i tried String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/library"; but it didnt worked.i have lampp | 09:06 |
| lindar | Oh, I managed it, but it's still on the wrong screen. | 09:06 |
| Beea | ???? Can a Dell 1100 use ubuntu 9 | 09:06 |
| vishal | llitz: actually I m trying for dialup connection, but i am not able to do that | 09:06 |
| meco | (parenthetically mentioning that "ducked up" is very close to (my) Norwegian "dukke opp" which means to surface or suddenly appear... ) | 09:06 |
| Radar | Beea: try it and find out and report back! :) | 09:06 |
| lindar | Beea: Probably. Does it have at least a Pentium 2 and 128mb RAM? | 09:06 |
| indus | hi | 09:07 |
| Losha | _saya: I didn't think freeware distros were big on copy protection... | 09:07 |
| dugger5688 | Beea Ubuntu 9? 9.10 or 9.04? Either way it shouldn't matter, my guess is that it will run it. | 09:07 |
| Zenker | but seriously, thanks for not helping me, i actually learned somethin on my own by reading pages and pages of info which is a very difficult task for someone with my disability | 09:07 |
| lindar | Oh, and to anybody that cares, I fixed my problem. I have to turn off the pretty effects because, even if I'm switching monitors, it has to enable both for a moment, which crashes the graphics engine due to its inability to render special graphics when desktop size reaches a certain width. | 09:07 |
| Beea | cool I will try it. | 09:07 |
| vishal | any body know php prgramming | 09:07 |
| Losha | Beea: that's what live cds are for. So you can test without committing.... | 09:08 |
| lindar | Turning off the fancy effects worked and now I have my double monitoring back. =D | 09:08 |
| theadmin | vishal: #php | 09:08 |
| Beea | live cd's? | 09:08 |
| hmw | Zenker: you might like this one: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html and also this one: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html | 09:08 |
| lindar | So, how do I get my task bar to a different monitor? | 09:08 |
| fstx | losha: Yes, that is my conclusion too. But right now I can't even figure out good google terms. I tried three cards, but I am willing to try another one. What one shoul I order? PCI or PCI-e? | 09:08 |
| vishal | <theadmin: wat does it mean | 09:08 |
| theadmin | vishal: Type this: "/join #php" and hit enter, it will bring you to PHP chat room | 09:09 |
| hateball | Beea: The normal Ubuntu desktop cd and be used to test your system before doing an install to harddrive. To see if the hardware is supported etc. | 09:09 |
| dugger5688 | Beaa, http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download | 09:09 |
| Losha | fstx: better throughput with PCI-e I thought, but really, 4th time lucky? Doesn't seem likely.... | 09:09 |
| dugger5688 | You don't need to 'order' Ubuntu, you can just d/l the live cd, burn it an test it. It'll boot off the cd and run like it's installed without actually installing it. | 09:09 |
| indus | vishal, just click on #php and you will be there | 09:10 |
| ngirard | Hi all. I'm experiencing this weird thing on ubuntu 8.10 and rhythmbox : it switches from pause to play by itself ! Anyone encountered this ? | 09:10 |
| indus | ngirard, yes happens to me sometimes | 09:11 |
| Beea | I can't burn it. my cd only is a read no write | 09:11 |
| ngirard | Hi indus. How did you solve it ? | 09:11 |
| lindar | Beea: Ah, if you have a USB flash drive, you can also use that, assuming your system supports booting from USB devices. | 09:11 |
| indus | ngirard, i didnt :D | 09:11 |
| hmw | Beea: one can make a USB flash drive with Ubuntu on it... but I cant tell you how, you'd have to ask Google | 09:11 |
| Beea | nope no drive | 09:11 |
| indus | Beea, hi are you on windows? | 09:12 |
| ngirard | indus: it's kinda annoying. Every 30s or so i have to pause the damn thing, then it switches back to play | 09:12 |
| lindar | How do I get my task bar to move to a different monitor? For some strange reason it's sitting on what my computer is treating as the secondary monitor, and I can't seem to move it, just change orientation. | 09:12 |
| theadmin | Beea: Are you on Windows? If so, use WUBI | 09:12 |
| indus | !unetbootin | 09:12 |
| ubottu | For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 09:12 |

| theadmin | Beea: See http://wubi-installer.org | 09:13 |
| fstx | losha: I tried two netgear FA310TX, and one 3Com 9c905c. Trying something more modern does not sound like a bad idea to me. | 09:13 |
| lindar | It's funky as all heck. | 09:13 |
| indus | Beea,go to unetbootin.sourceforge.net and download this software , it will help you download or burn to a usb stick | 09:13 |
| theadmin | lindar: It's not that bad, a bit of slower then normal install | 09:13 |
| ngirard | indus: anyway, thanks for your feedback | 09:13 |

| bobbyyu | My Apache is having trouble showing my test.pl in the CGI-bin | 09:13 |

| sikun | working on a network setup.. i have a project where i am consolidating two offices, my main goal is to setup a server where files can be accessed by any computer in two different offices, but what i would like to do is have a server in each office that automatically 'syncs' files as they are updated on either location, i don't know if this is possible or where to even start. Currently i am working with about a total of about 200gb of data also. | 09:21 |

| sikun | lindar: well what i was thinking at first was of doing a VPN setup or something along the lines of that.. but.. i don't have access to an internet connection that actually has a decent upload, the files i'll be dealing with are anywhere from 0-15mb each, and the internet connection on the server side would have a max of about 1mbit upload.. so i was just thinking of having two file servers each replicating files to each other | 09:25 |
| brjann | sikun: you might look into unison: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ | 09:26 |
| Beea | bummer now I will have to use a different password | 09:26 |
| brjann | !info unison | sikun | 09:26 |
| lindar | sikun: Yeah, so you have one half of the array at one location, and one half at the other. Except that... that's a stupid idea. | 09:26 |
| ubottu | sikun: unison (source: unison): A file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.27.57-2ubuntu1 (karmic), package size 522 kB, installed size 1236 kB | 09:26 |
| lindar | Cos it would have to write to both drives. | 09:26 |
| lindar | Hey, there you go. | 09:26 |
| sikun | hmm... unison looks promising! | 09:26 |
| lindar | Server sync software would be the better option. | 09:27 |
| lindar | I overlooked the fact that data would have to be written to both drives, which doesn't help your upload problem. | 09:27 |
| lindar | So... there you go. =P | 09:27 |

| tiina | hej jag har av nångon misstag installerat pre-firefox namoroka webläsare o vill ha tillbaka den vanliga firefox...vet du vilken det är? | 09:29 |
| sikun | the thought crossed my mind about just using windows server.. but then i decided not to even bother even toying with the idea, since the cost of just two licenses for what i would need is just outrageous | 09:29 |

| fstx | what do you say: netgear ga311, intel pro/1000gt or d-link dge-528t? | 09:31 |
| Losha | sikun: you'll have to check my math, but 200GB at 1mbit/sec will take about 20 days to do the initial sync. At that rate, you may never be able to keep up with the changes.... | 09:33 |
| sikun | ok.. one last question, this network has about a total of 10 people that access files, on a scale of 1-10 of difficulty.. how is setting up a domain controller under ubuntu (hopefully i am using correct terminology.. i just want to be able to restrict only authorized users to access what they are allowed to, etc..)? | 09:33 |
| brjann | sikun: yeah, for the first sync, you might get better bandwidth out of the postal service ;) | 09:33 |
| sikun | Losha: well.. i'd say the first sync will be done just by using an external hard drive | 09:33 |
| sikun | hahaha | 09:33 |
| Losha | sikun: still doesn't let you out of doing the math. Just how much data are you planning to sync...? | 09:34 |
| sikun | well on average... each day i would say a max amount of data change would be no more than 1-2gb | 09:35 |
| sikun | office #2 is being downsized and will only be used once a week.. so its not a problem only having it sync every other day, or just two days before its used | 09:36 |
| Losha | sikun: so what happens if two people on opposite ends of the link try to edit the same file? | 09:36 |
| sikun | thats also what i was wondering... if its possible to 'lock' the file when someone has it opened | 09:36 |
| theadmin | Why can't i "sudo echo somestuff > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/somefile"? | 09:37 |
| sikun | but i would say right now usually MOST of the time... no two people are working on the same file | 09:37 |
| Losha | sikun: yes, but now you not only have a sync problem, you have a revision control management problem.... | 09:37 |
| jstephan | someone may know if the beta1freeze and kernelfreeze will come today? | 09:37 |
| llutz | theadmin: use "tee" | 09:38 |
| sikun | hrm.. yeah.. i've been wondering about that | 09:38 |
| theadmin | llutz: How do i use that, it makes no sense to me | 09:38 |
| sikun | well would a VPN setup be a better idea then? | 09:38 |
| Beea | Thanks all I am sure I will be back when I actually get my computer ubuntuized | 09:38 |
| llutz | theadmin: it's faq, sudo echo > cannot work | 09:38 |
| brjann | sikun: that's one of the benefits of unison over something like rsync -- unison detects non-conflicting changes and merges them both ways, and then can be used to resolve conflicts | 09:39 |
| sikun | where just mapping a network drive over the net instead of having two different servers? Then the only problem would just be office #1 upload when a larger file would be opened | 09:39 |
| theadmin | llutz: Whatever, i'll just sudo -i and there goes | 09:39 |
| sikun | brjann: ooooh... | 09:39 |

| theadmin | llutz: Ah! Makes sense, thanks a lot! | 09:40 |
| Zet | hi | 09:40 |
| Zet | I upgraded my RAM yesterday from 2 to 4 GB | 09:40 |
| Zet | on a 64bit machine, 64bit Ubuntu installation | 09:40 |
| Losha | sikun: well you still have a problem with multiple writers even within a single site don't you? If you want to allow that, you need a revision control system, and one that works remotely too... | 09:40 |
| Zet | and now the machine crashes shortly after boot | 09:40 |
| Zet | just completely locks up | 09:41 |
| Losha | Zet: first guess is faulty RAM of course. Run memtest overnight.... | 09:41 |
| Zet | I did | 09:41 |
| Zet | no errors | 09:41 |
| sikun | Losha: yeah.. hmmm | 09:41 |
| emiliyo | OLAAA | 09:41 |
| Zet | I also tried the new RAM in all available slots. no difference. | 09:41 |
| brjann | Zet: how long did you let memtest run? | 09:42 |
| Zet | brjann: almost 9 hours | 09:42 |
| indus | memtest is useless really | 09:42 |
| brjann | Zet: okay, i withdraw my unspoken objection ;) | 09:42 |
| indus | who has time to run that | 09:42 |
| Losha | indus: you run it overnight while you're sleeping... | 09:42 |
| llutz | indus: people trying to find hardware issues | 09:42 |
| indus | not even 1 % Of users ever do it | 09:43 |
| indus | i have statistics | 09:43 |
| abhi_nav | indus :-) | 09:43 |
| indus | its easier to replace ram and check | 09:43 |
| zortec | I want to try Gentoo from within Ubuntu. Would it be possible to resize my root partition to allow space for Gentoo or do you suggest another method? | 09:43 |
| Losha | indus: pulled from which orifice? | 09:43 |
| silentx | Hey ... Why when i try to connect to my wireless network and enter the password .. it keep asking about the password .. without connecting .. << :( | 09:43 |
| indus | your friendly neighbourhood system vendor will help you | 09:43 |
| indus | or if iam near i will | 09:43 |
| indus | memtest is not 100 % accurate either | 09:44 |
| Zet | the computer does run significantly longer in failsafe mode, but eventually it still locks up | 09:44 |
| indus | but off topic now | 09:44 |
| Zet | within like half an hour | 09:44 |
| theadmin | zortec: Maybe Virtualbox? | 09:44 |
| testi | Zet, does it crash always and always at the same spot? | 09:44 |
| indus | Zet, maybe you have it two different ram sticks | 09:44 |
| lindar | silentx: That means that you have a bad connection. | 09:44 |
| theadmin | zortec: Nevertheless, it is possible, download any live CD with GParted, this will do for you | 09:44 |
| Zet | testi: pretty much yeah | 09:44 |
| indus | that aint gonna work good | 09:44 |
| lindar | silentx, either the source signal is weak, or you're not close enough. | 09:44 |
| llutz | indus: you can be quite sure your ram is faulty if memtest finds errors. you cannot be sure it will be ok if it won't find errors. simple it is | 09:44 |
| zortec | theadmin: I thought about using virtualization software but it would run slower... and prefer if I could just set up another partition in ubuntu and format it with a separate root, home, and swap partitions | 09:44 |
| silentx | lindar, it is my network and my wireless adaptor in the same room | 09:45 |
| zortec | theadmin: I have 116 gb unallocated space to play around with | 09:45 |
| indus | llutz, ya agree but i once cleaned my ram with water and silver polish, leter dried in sun....... worked like a charm | 09:45 |
| brjann | zortec: if your CPU is recent enough to have virtualization extensions, virtualization wouldn't be that much slower | 09:45 |
| Losha | Zet: it's possible a motherboard issue, triggered by the larger RAM. Sorry, I realize that's bad news... | 09:45 |
| lindar | silentx: What frequency range does it use? | 09:45 |
| theadmin | zortec: Great! Then just use GPartED to allocate it for you | 09:45 |
| phrearch | hi | 09:45 |
| indus | llutz, memtest reports 1 error but it is definitely not noticeable | 09:45 |
| Zet | Losha: yeah | 09:46 |
| phrearch | is there a nhibernate mono version somewhere for ubuntu? | 09:46 |
| zortec | brjann: I'm not sure if it is recent enough, my CPU is an Intel Dual Core 2.1 Ghz | 09:46 |
| llutz | indus: until system uses this bit | 09:46 |
| silentx | lindar, it is 9DBI .. | 09:46 |
| indus | it was nice to see my ram shining again :) | 09:46 |
| Zet | Losha: I did buy the motherboard used, so it's completely possible | 09:46 |
| shahin | anyone having problems with apt-update? | 09:46 |
| lindar | silentx: I didn't ask about the decibel level, I asked about the frequency range. =D | 09:46 |
| theadmin | shahin: Nope. | 09:46 |
| brjann | indus: one memory error on non-ECC RAM is enough to cause random system crashes | 09:46 |
| silentx | sorry i dont know :D .. i'm new in the networking feild .. | 09:47 |
| Losha | Zet: how is your 4G ram configured? Is it 2x2G or 4x1G or what? | 09:47 |
| indus | brjann, hmm i dont have it though, who knows what goes inside, | 09:47 |
| silentx | lindar, sorry i dont know :D .. i'm new in the networking feild .. | 09:47 |
| shahin | theadmin: hm, mine just says "99% [waiting for headers]" as soon as it comes to http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main restricted | 09:47 |
| indus | anyways i replaced with new ddr 2 anyway so np | 09:47 |
| zortec | theadmin: You wouldn't sugest using any of the partition tools like Palimpsest Disk Utility in Ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| lindar | silentx: Does it operate on 2.4GHz? 5.8GHz? Other? What protocol are you using? 802.11g? n? | 09:47 |
| shahin | theadmin: can you please check if you have that rep in your sources.list? | 09:47 |
| silentx | 2.4Ghz | 09:47 |
| brjann | zortec: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model | 09:47 |
| silentx | lindar, wait lemme check | 09:48 |
| lindar | Also, on what surface do you have the wireless router sitting, silentx ? | 09:48 |
| theadmin | shahin: Yeah, i do, it's just slow | 09:48 |
| emiliyo | olaa | 09:48 |
| zortec | brjann: model 15 - Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 @ 2.20 Ghz | 09:48 |
| theadmin | zortec: No, you need a Live CD to play with a root partition | 09:48 |
| silentx | lindar, they near to each other :D .. in the same room .. | 09:48 |
| otswim | if i ofter want to launch 3 or 4 commands, should i make an alias in .bashrc and separate the commands with ';'? or is there a nicer way to do it? | 09:49 |
| shahin | theadmin: hm, i've waited a couple of minutes now. is it just today it's this slow? | 09:49 |
| lindar | silentx: Okay. On what surface do you have the wireless router placed? | 09:49 |
| testi | Zet did you als try to replace the old RAM, not using the old one as well as not using both, but the new one in the slot of the old one? How is the behaviour for each configuration? Assume it crashes differently or does not crash in the latter case, then the problem is probably hardware related. | 09:49 |
| brjann | zortec: nope, no virtualization extensions on that one :( | 09:49 |
| otswim | and when i compile programs from source, where should i put them? just in my home? | 09:49 |
| zortec | theadmin: What if I want to create another partition from the unallocated space? I'm also wondering if I need to create a swap partition as I already have one in ubuntu... so would just need a root and home partition for gentoo | 09:49 |
| theadmin | zortec: If you need one from allocated space, then okay, go ahead right from Ubuntu | 09:49 |
| silentx | lindar, on my office .. :S | 09:50 |
| testi | "not using both" -> "using both" | 09:50 |
| brjann | zortec: so long as you're not using hibernation, you can re-use the same swap partition for two distributions | 09:50 |
| Losha | Zet: what testi said... | 09:50 |
| zortec | theadmin: Can I use swap for both gentoo and ubuntu? My swap partition is 4.6 gb | 09:50 |
| Zet | I have 2x2gb sticks | 09:50 |
| lindar | silentx: On your office desk? Okay, do you have it next to anything like a mobile phone, monitor, speakers, or other similar electronic devices? | 09:50 |
| timthorpe | hi | 09:50 |
| zortec | brjann: Thanks, good info | 09:50 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| Zet | I am not at home right now, I'm online from the university library. I'll swap the sticks around some more later today. | 09:51 |
| Zet | thanks for the suggestions | 09:51 |
| Losha | Zet: well, you know the original 2G is good. Try running just the new 2G.... | 09:51 |
| silentx | lindar, yea old monitor speaker and my desktop also .. :S | 09:51 |
| indus | what is a good channel for buying pc hardware | 09:51 |
| Zet | Losha: I'll do that | 09:51 |
| p0a | Hello how do I view my hardware specs? | 09:52 |
| Losha | indus: #hardware I suppose... | 09:52 |
| lindar | silentx: So it's next to one of those big tube monitors and a set of speakers? =\ | 09:52 |
| brjann | p0a: sudo lshw will print out a nice report | 09:52 |
| Losha | indus: actually, I like newegg reviews, and slickdeals... | 09:52 |
| p0a | brjann, thanks :-) | 09:52 |
| otswim | and when i compile programs from source, where should i put them? just in my home? | 09:52 |
| silentx | lindar, yes | 09:52 |
| otswim | if i often want to launch 3 or 4 commands, should i make an alias in .bashrc and separate the commands with ';'? or is there a nicer way to do it? | 09:53 |
| llutz | !checkinstall | otswim | 09:53 |
| ubottu | otswim: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 09:53 |
| silentx | lindar, I could change it's place if you want to .. " the router and the adapter .. | 09:53 |
| lindar | silentx: I'll skip the explanation and just say that you need to move anything to do with your internet connection (modem, router, and so on) at least 2m (6 feet) away from those things. =D | 09:53 |
| Losha | otswim: I keep mine in ~/bin ... | 09:53 |
| llutz | otswim: install inside $HOME or use prefix=/usr/local | 09:53 |
| hmw | otswim: I have a bin folder in my home, and the path is pointing at it. It contains some scripts with tasks, i do often | 09:54 |
| silentx | lindar, wait .. I'll do it now .. | 09:54 |
| lindar | You know how the television goes crazy when somebody starts hoovering the living room? That's pretty much what you're doing to your internet. | 09:54 |
| Zet | just for the heck of it, are there any known lockup bugs in the new kernel that the upgrade thing just pushed on me earlier this week? | 09:54 |
| Zet | 2.6.20 or something? | 09:54 |
| Losha | otswim: an alias with ; separated programs is a perfectly reasonable way to do that... | 09:55 |
| === Mowee`Bnc is now known as Mowee | ||
| otswim | ok great thanks | 09:55 |
| Zet | I just remembered I had not rebooted after that kernel upgrade before I shut down to install the ram | 09:55 |
| Losha | lindar: just another reason not to do housework... | 09:55 |
| lindar | xD | 09:55 |
| hmw | Losha: otswim: i alaways used && to separate commands in one line. What is the difference to ; ? | 09:55 |
| otswim | so i should put the bins in ~/bin, but what about the sources? | 09:55 |
| lindar | Why aren't things like induction and basic electronics included in general education? | 09:55 |
| === patrick is now known as Guest54563 | ||
| Losha | Zet: if there are, you're the first person to complain about it, which seems unlikely... | 09:56 |
| otswim | hmw: when you use && the second command will be executed only if the first one succedeed | 09:56 |
| llutz | hmw: && executes command to the right only if the one to the left exits without error, | 09:56 |
| lindar | Even really basic stuff. "Speakers have magnets, magnets fuck up yo shit." | 09:56 |
| yehia | how to change permission of my folder from ( root ) to Owner ? | 09:56 |
| hmw | otswim: aah...thanks... should have been obvious | 09:56 |
| p0a | Hello what's that utility that lets you paste stuff from the command line? Ie "paste foo.txt" -> http://<yourpastesite>.com/UocgJT | 09:56 |
| brjann | !language > lindar | 09:56 |
| ubottu | lindar, please see my private message | 09:56 |

| silentx | lindar, done .. | 09:56 |
| llutz | !pastebinit > p0a | 09:56 |
| brjann | p0a: pastebinit | 09:56 |
| ubottu | p0a, please see my private message | 09:56 |
| yehia | how to chance owner from root - to my user | 09:56 |
| hmw | p0a: pastebinit | 09:56 |
| timthorpe | system info | 09:57 |
| silentx | lindar, I'll start to connect know .. | 09:57 |
| llutz | yehia: su - user | 09:57 |
| silentx | Disconnecting .. | 09:57 |
| otswim | so i should put the binaries in ~/bin, but what about the sources? | 09:57 |
| Losha | yehia: something like 'sudo chown -R Owner folder' | 09:57 |
| Losha | otswim: I keep sources in ~/src, binaries in ~/bin .... | 09:57 |
| hmw | otswim: you could call it ~/scripts if you prefer... some files in the various "bin" folders are actually shells scripts, btw | 09:58 |
| otswim | okay | 09:58 |
| yehia | llutz, i did what you told me | 09:58 |
| zortec | I get an error in the partition manager that there are too many primary partitions. Is there a way around that? | 09:58 |
| p0a | I installed it, but when I try "echo foo | pastebinit" it says "http://pastebin.com" | 09:58 |
| yehia | what it the next step llutz. | 09:58 |
| p0a | Where's the rest of the link? | 09:58 |
| nemiro | zortec, no | 09:58 |
| Losha | otswim: the actual names are arbitrary, it's just about hygiene really... | 09:58 |
| llutz | yehia: sorry, misread you. ctrl-d to exit | 09:58 |
| otswim | Losha: yes sure; i was just asking about what's common | 09:59 |
| llutz | yehia: do what Losha told you | 09:59 |
| zortec | nemiro: You can only have a max of 4 primary partitions? | 09:59 |
| hmw | zortec: with MBR, yes | 09:59 |
| nemiro | zortec, yes.. unless you do something odd which I can't remember | 09:59 |
| yehia | losha , said ( something like ) | 09:59 |
| brjann | p0a: yeah, pastebin.com hasn't worked for me recently either. try pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.org | 09:59 |
| yehia | what does this mean llutz . | 09:59 |
| llutz | yehia: sudo chown -R user:group /directory | 10:00 |
| zortec | nemiro: So is there any way I can set a partition as extended? I'm trying to create one to hold /gentoo/home | 10:00 |
| brjann | p0a: wait, that's not the right url. just a sec | 10:00 |
| hmw | nemiro: zortec: you could use GPT instead of MBR | 10:00 |
| Losha | zortec: make the 4th an extended (logical) partition, then put extra logical partitions inside it.... | 10:00 |
| p0a | brjann, it's .com | 10:00 |
| brjann | p0a: ah, right. my bad | 10:00 |
| p0a | brjann, how do I alias this to pasteit? pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 10:01 |
| p0a | So when I type pasteit in the command line I'll get that command ^ | 10:01 |
| llutz | yehia: for files it would be "sudo chown user:group /path/to/file" | 10:01 |
| hmw | nemiro: zortec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record | 10:01 |
| Bjelleklang | does anyone else get a gpg error when updating package lists on 9.10? Karmic-updates Release is the one giving an error on my two machines | 10:01 |
| brjann | p0a: alias pasteit='pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com' should work | 10:01 |
| brjann | p0a: you'll have to put that in your ~/.bash_profile if you want it to persist across logins (which i assume you do) | 10:02 |
| teo77 | no ez az xchat se szebb :) | 10:02 |
| yehia | it tells me so llutz . chown: missing operand after `yehia:yehia/~/.fluxbox/styles' | 10:02 |
| p0a | brjann, good idea | 10:02 |
| yehia | Try `chown --help' for more information. | 10:02 |

| Losha | brjann: :-) | 10:07 |
| p0a | that's strange, the alias doesn't work | 10:07 |

| p0a | alias pasteit='pastebinit -b http://yourpaste.net -a anonymous', when I run echo foo | pasteit the program doesn't seem to respond | 10:08 |

| yehia | the directory is located in ( usr / share / fluxbox and then the one which i need to change the permission is inside the fluxbox named ( styles) | 10:08 |
| yehia | llutz . one which i need to change the permission is inside the fluxbox named ( styles) | 10:08 |
| p0a | NVM! it worked :-) sorry for bothering you guys and thanks again. | 10:08 |
| llutz | yehia: your error shows "/style" missing "s". type carefully, we won't teach you | 10:10 |
| yehia | ok sorry for mistake llutz , | 10:12 |
| yehia | llutz , i did as you corrected me and it gave me this yehia@yehia:~$ sudo chown -R yehia:yehia ~/.fluxbox/styles | 10:13 |

| ginbuntu | hi, is there any utility to connect to my kvm guest os that are running on another machine? I am using ssh tunnel at the moment but it is pain in the ass | 10:20 |
| yehia | dreamflying. i did but its not working | 10:20 |
| maxagaz | Hi, when I try to install mysql-server on hardy, I get the following error => http://pastebin.com/mbjwLN5k, can someone help ? | 10:21 |
| nimrod10 | ginbuntu, use virt-manager | 10:21 |
| dreamflying | <yehia> do you have root user ? | 10:21 |
| yehia | dreamflying . i dont know | 10:22 |
| dreamflying | you can creat a root user: sudo passwd root | 10:22 |
| llutz | yehia: don't change anything to world-writable without need | 10:22 |
| Ceeriael | is it correct that Ubuntu cannot software raid1 2 Disks, but need it to be 2 partitions ??? | 10:23 |
| llutz | dreamflying: stop it pls, that won't help at all and isn't supported here | 10:23 |
| Plooral | Hi pappies. If I install ubuntu onto a hard drive that already contains Windows Xp and Windows 7, will 9.10 detect those partitions and add them to grub? | 10:23 |
| linuxlurker | dreamflying, thats like fixing a problem with a sledgehammer :) | 10:24 |
| llutz | linuxlurker: that's plain stupid, not fixing anything | 10:24 |
| Plooral | Hi pappies. If I install ubuntu onto a hard drive that already contains Windows Xp and Windows 7, will 9.10 detect those partitions and add them to grub? I know previous versions did in the past, but I read conflicting reports on the 'net | 10:24 |
| hmw | Plooral: it worked on my box | 10:25 |
| yehia | so no more help llutz ? | 10:25 |
| Plooral | hmw 9.10? | 10:25 |
| llutz | yehia: the permissions of that dir are ok. what do you try to do? | 10:25 |
| Plooral | hmw with ubuntu being the last OS added? | 10:25 |
| hmw | Plooral: uhm... sorry, i forgot, 9.04, not GRUB2 | 10:25 |
| Plooral | hmw yeah, that's the thing | 10:26 |
| hmw | Plooral: Ubuntu last is always easier | 10:26 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, my experience is that when you get to the grub install step, it will list what it detects, and you can back out if it doesnt detect what you are looking for | 10:26 |
| nonexks | is there a command to reset my repository's to default or upgrade it to latest list ? | 10:26 |
| Plooral | A couple of sites have said that 9.10 didn't detect the Windows 7 install, only the XP one | 10:26 |
| yehia | llutz iam trying to extract or copy any thing in this Dir ... its not accepting and tells me that i dont have permission | 10:26 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, you best be careful at that step then :) | 10:27 |
| REAL1 | hello . | 10:27 |
| Plooral | Linkadmin hmm, does it? It seems I've forgotten | 10:27 |
| REAL1 | got some problem... my apt-get update.. stack on REAL1 | 10:27 |
| llutz | yehia: "ls -ld ~/.fluxbox/" | 10:27 |
| REAL1 | 99% [Waiting for headers] | 10:27 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, have a backup solution for recovery just in case | 10:27 |
| Plooral | linuxlurker well, it's not the end of the world, I can get a bootloader on there | 10:27 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, yep | 10:27 |
| hmw | Plooral: perhaps you can plug in another hdd and make a test setup? | 10:27 |
| Plooral | I'm just checking for other people's experiences | 10:27 |
| LaeTo | How do I run the command "gnome-session-save" to kill the display ? | 10:28 |
| yehia | llutz. drwxr-xr-x 5 yehia yehia 4096 2010-03-11 11:35 /home/yehia/.fluxbox/ | 10:28 |
| Plooral | hmw I would if I could but I can't | 10:28 |
| Plooral | hmw so I won't | 10:28 |
| Plooral | :) | 10:28 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, I havent tried Windows 7 yet | 10:28 |
| Plooral | Oh well, what the hell. I'm going for it. Worst comes to worst I have to put a bootloader on there manually | 10:28 |
| llutz | yehia: that's odd, permissions are fine. how do you try to copy things in? | 10:28 |
| ginbuntu | can some one helps me with this issue? http://pastebin.org/109577 | 10:28 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, thats the spirit. :) Leave the regrets for later. ;) | 10:29 |
| LaeTo | Hello...does anyone knows the answer ? | 10:29 |
| ginbuntu | that command worked before ( few months ago) | 10:29 |
| REAL1 | ive got some problem here ... my apt-get update.. stack on 99% [Waiting for headers] | 10:29 |
| yehia | ok i will tell you .. llutz | 10:29 |
| Vtec | is there an irc channel for linux mint? | 10:29 |
| hmw | Plooral: i dont like 9.10 due to two details: the audio mixer only allows to set input volume and output volume, no WAVE/LINE/MIC etc. Secondly, you cannot configure services via the GUI anymore. Therefore I went back to 9.04. Perhaps that is an option for you? | 10:29 |
| llutz | yehia: nautilus/cp? | 10:29 |
| brjann | !mint | Vtec | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Vtec: 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) | 10:30 |
| Plooral | REAL1 and you've "ctrl-C"ed that puppy and done it again? | 10:30 |
| yehia | llutz, I extract Nasa.tar.gz to ~/.fluxbox/styles/ and when i do this ... it tells me that i cant do it coz i have no permission | 10:30 |
| mohjak | How to fix grub after formating windows? | 10:30 |
| REAL1 | Plooral, try that aleardy. | 10:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | !mintsupport | Vtec | 10:30 |
| ubottu | Vtec: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 10:30 |
| Vtec | thankyou very much | 10:30 |
| brjann | Vtec: sorry, that ^ was the one i meant to type :( | 10:30 |
| Plooral | hmw hmm, it may be. I have both isos here. So 9.10 has proved problematic for people ... | 10:30 |
| linuxlurker | REAL1, a problem with your mirror perhaps? | 10:31 |
| REAL1 | dont know | 10:31 |
| llutz | yehia: like this "tar xzf Nasa.tar.gz -C ~/.fluxbox/styles"? | 10:31 |
| REAL1 | :-0 | 10:31 |
| hmw | Plooral: I just didnt like it very much. The boot graphics/window styles are changed too, now it is no longer "summer" but "autumn" :) | 10:31 |
| yehia | llutz, ok lets talk there | 10:32 |
| Plooral | hmw ok. Well, the truth of it is I usually only install a base ubuntu and use openbox, not gnome anyway | 10:32 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, +1 openbox | 10:32 |
| llutz | yehia: don't try to pm me, it will be ignored | 10:32 |
| Plooral | hmw but thanks for your input. It means you care | 10:32 |
| Plooral | :) | 10:32 |
| * hmw cares | 10:33 | |
| * Plooral cares that hmw cares | 10:33 | |
| === Guest15477 is now known as goldenfox | ||
| yehia | ok llutz , the command as i told you before i want to extract or copy some files in the dir which is ( Fluxbox/styles ) its not accepting it and tells me i have no permission . | 10:34 |
| Plooral | you have to love it when people say "that command worked for me a few weeks ago" | 10:34 |
| nmvictor | i am trying to set up a tunnel so i can be able to connect to freenode even behind our campus's proxy, is theis someone who has done this before and is willing to take my hand on this, i am following an artical in [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall] | 10:34 |
| Plooral | nmvictor yeah, what's the problem? Of course, your campus has to allow connections out on port 22 | 10:35 |
| zortec | Can anyone see why this command would not work: tar -xvjf /mnt/gentoo/portage-latest.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/usr? | 10:35 |
| Plooral | nmvictor if they don't you can run the remote ssh server on port 80 or 443 | 10:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | zortec, this is ubuntu support, not gentoo support - is there not a gentoo channel? | 10:36 |
| zortec | I'm installing gentoo within ubuntu... so I didn't know if the question was alright or not | 10:36 |
| Plooral | nmvictor in other words, you need a remote box that you control running an ssh server on port 80 or 443 | 10:36 |
| nmvictor | Plooral: thanks, ok, i saw something like ssh <some-username>@<some-host> blah blah blah, so how do i come up with the username and host? | 10:36 |
| Plooral | nmvictor well you have to be running an ssh server of your own. Like one at home | 10:37 |
| nmvictor | Plooral: my computer is named nmvictors-linuxbox | 10:37 |
| brjann | zortec: do you have permission to extract the file to that directory? | 10:37 |
| Plooral | nmvictor you need the IP address. Or dynamic DNS name if you have one | 10:38 |
| yehia | all what i need to change the owner to have permission ... cant any body tell me how to fix it ? | 10:38 |
| yehia | is it soo hard issue? | 10:38 |
| nmvictor | Plooral: is it possible to run that on one machine or do i need another machine for that? | 10:38 |
| Plooral | nmvictor it looks like; CAMPUS --> NMVICTORS_LINUXBOX--> FREENODE | 10:38 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, sudo chown username:groupname dir/file | 10:38 |
| zortec | brjann: That was it, didn't use sudo to run the command | 10:38 |
| zortec | brjann: I often forget to do that | 10:39 |
| brjann | zortec: hehe, no problem | 10:39 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, so you ssh into your own box, and then your box accesses ir? | 10:39 |
| Plooral | nmvictor incidently, I got around the whole thing by getting what we call here "mobile broadband". Modem is a USB stick and does about 400kB/s downloads | 10:39 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher . i have done this before many times and no USE -- | 10:39 |
| Plooral | linuxlurker yep | 10:39 |
| zortec | So I have a follow-up question, is it necessary to use sudo any time you are doing file operations? | 10:39 |
| linuxlurker | Plooral, cool :) | 10:39 |
| nmvictor | so how do i starts, how do i come up with ip or dns, whats the best option? | 10:39 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, what exactly you need to change? do you use the right username which exists on the system? | 10:40 |
| Plooral | nmvictor well your linuxbox is connected to the net, right? | 10:40 |
| nmvictor | Plooral: thats what am usin to connect at the moment coz i can get passed our campus's proxy | 10:40 |
| brjann | zortec: only when your unprivileged user doesn't have the rights to do whatever it is you're trying to do | 10:40 |
| brjann | zortec: which I admit is sort of a circular answer | 10:40 |
| zortec | brjann: how does one tell if sudo is neededfor a command? | 10:41 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher, yesss | 10:41 |
| zortec | brjann: I don't usually check rights before issuing any file commands | 10:41 |
| ortsvorsteher | !tab | yehia | 10:41 |
| ubottu | yehia: 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. | 10:41 |
| Plooral | nmvictor so you mean you are already able to connect to your own box at home from campus? | 10:41 |
| brjann | zortec: generally speaking, your user can do pretty much whatever it wants inside /home/<your user>. outside of that, pretty much everything else is owned by root or another system account. | 10:41 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, what do you want to change? show me the file or the dir and the command which doesn't work | 10:41 |
| Plooral | nmvictor if you can, you just need to use Putty and configure it to use your campus proxy | 10:42 |
| zortec | brjann: the whole directory I created for gentoo is owned by root... I see that when I type "ls -l" | 10:42 |
| Plooral | nmvictor I've given you all the pieces, but I have to do this install now. I'm on campus atm myself :) | 10:42 |
| nmvictor | Nop, i have dual booted one of the campuses comp withn ubuntu, i named the ubuntu system nmvictors-linuxbox, that is what i want to connect to irc with | 10:42 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, so you are saying your box is behind the campus firewall? | 10:43 |
| brjann | zortec: as it should be, if you're installing a base system. if you installed it as your user you would have serious issues. | 10:43 |
| ubuntu | fr | 10:43 |
| zortec | brjann: appreciate the help :) | 10:43 |
| brjann | zortec: sure thing | 10:43 |
| nmvictor | Plooral: seee ^^^, i forgot to include your nick | 10:44 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: yea, | 10:44 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, and you are connected to freenode now, behind the campus firewall? | 10:44 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher, i have a folder named fluxbox/styles and all i want to do is to copy something inside this folder or to extract something into this folder ... but always gives me ( i cant coz i dont have permission ) | 10:44 |
| zortec | well, got to see if ff13 lives up to the hype on 360/ps3 | 10:44 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: no, i am using a modem, GSM modem | 10:45 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, ah ok | 10:45 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher the command i do is : extract Nasa.tar.gz to ~/.fluxbox/styles/ but no chance .... | 10:45 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: So i had to disconnect campus connections in favour of modem so i could get to you guys | 10:45 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher , i also did what you told me | 10:45 |
| yehia | ortvorsteher , but still no chance | 10:46 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, you have web access from behind the firewall yes? | 10:46 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: yea, | 10:46 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, hmmm..I think this setup is a little different to what Plooral was thinking...I think the assumption was you had a box outside of campus | 10:47 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, my nickname is ortsvorsteher, not ortvorsteher. show me the permissions on .fluxbox/styles | 10:47 |
| ortsvorsteher | !tab | yehia | 10:47 |
| meowbuntu | hi i have a usb device i cant cd to it has a space in the file name i cant change it even with sudo. what i need is the command to give me the syntax for spaces | 10:47 |
| ovidiu | By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled.how can i enable on ubuntu!1 mil $ question | 10:48 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: yea, so i was folloring this artical and i needed assistance [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall], mind taking my hand on this> | 10:48 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, let me read the instructions for a bit | 10:48 |
| Logicwax | I got a problem where my computer just freezes on the ubuntu logo upon bootup. no HDD activity or anything. just locks up. it takes about 4-5 reboots until ubuntu boots regular again. | 10:48 |
| Logicwax | I also built a brand new computer, and xfered my ubuntu install to another HDD. the same problem is there, so I know this is not a hardware issue | 10:48 |
| brjann | meowbuntu: you can either double-quote it, like cd "some directory with spaces" or escape the spaces with backslashes, like cd some\ other\ directory | 10:49 |
| Logicwax | was wondering where i could look to see what the problem may be...if theres some sort of boot log | 10:49 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: ok, i got into a snag, how i come up with the username and the host to use | 10:49 |
| ovidiu | By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled.how can i enable on ubuntu!1 mil $ question | 10:50 |
| iceroot | ovidiu: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward | 10:50 |
| robinsmidsrod | ovidiu: echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding afaik (untested) | 10:51 |
| robinsmidsrod | iceroot is probably the accurate one ;) | 10:51 |
| rotem | hi, please i need your help. is there a possibility to get the extern methods from .so file? is there any tool? | 10:51 |
| robinsmidsrod | rotem: libtool, isn't it? | 10:51 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, web link is not working for me | 10:51 |
| rotem | robinsmidsrod, if your saying :) i have no idea, i will check it out, thanks :) | 10:52 |
| robinsmidsrod | objdump is what you need, afaik | 10:52 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher , how to send you a picture | 10:52 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: web link, through browser? | 10:52 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, yeah..it cant find that url | 10:53 |
| robinsmidsrod | forget my previous suggestion | 10:53 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hi! Does anyone know of a free process simulation software like ProModel? | 10:53 |
| robinsmidsrod | rotem: used objdump to try to understand a linking problem once on windows (but it's a gnu tool) | 10:53 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, you can use a paste service for the output | 10:53 |
| ortsvorsteher | !paste | yehia | 10:53 |
| ubottu | yehia: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 10:53 |
| rotem | robinsmidsrod, sure thanks | 10:54 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: You mean you cant connect passed the proxy through your browser? | 10:54 |
| nmvictor | i am trying to set up a tunnel so i can be able to connect to freenode even behind our campus's proxy, is theis someone who has done this before and is willing to take my hand on this, i am following an artical in [http://www.debubuntu.org/2006/04/08/22-ssh-and-port-forwarding-or-how-to-get-through-a-firewall] | 10:55 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, dns error..cant find the server | 10:55 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: which browser? | 10:55 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher, http://imagebin.org/88430 | 10:56 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, chromium | 10:56 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, did you ever worked in an terminal? you know what a terminal is? | 10:57 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher http://imagebin.org/88431 | 10:57 |
| nmvictor | linuxlurker: how about the rest, maybe you need to set the settings in network prefernece, i dont use chromium, i might not be of much help | 10:57 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher , all what i know is just an application to use commands | 10:57 |
| ovidiu | By default any modern Linux distributions will have IP Forwarding disabled.how can i enable on ubuntu!1 mil $ question | 10:57 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, try application - extras - terminal please | 10:58 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, the way I have heard people doing it usually involves two computers...one behind the firewall and one outside.. | 10:58 |
| ginbuntu | sudo virt-install -n jboss2 -r 1024 --vcpus=2 --os-type=linux --nonsparse -w bridge:br1 --accelerate --vnc --noautoconsole --vncport=5907 -f /dev/sdb1 -c /VMs/cd-images/ubuntu-8.04.4-server-amd64.iso | 10:58 |
| tigerplug292 | hey guys anyone able to tell me if the error message " The error message is - "550 mail from 1.2.3.4 refused, see http://www.spamhaus.org" means that its a problem with my server or the receipient? | 10:59 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, the one outside has full access, so you make an ssh connection to the outside box which is running the ssh server..with your client on the box behind the firewall | 10:59 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, did you found your terminal? | 10:59 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher , i dont have something called Extras in my Application menu | 10:59 |
| Sia- | can restore the default menu or top toolbar to Default? | 10:59 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, the finer points of making that happen are beyond me...and it seems you are talking about one box behind a firewall without having an outside box | 11:00 |
| nmvictor | so you mean i can do that on my one box behind a firewall? | 11:00 |
| yehia | ortsvorsteher , but i have a terminal in my accessories and i can open it | 11:00 |
| Sia- | reset gnome toolbar?? | 11:00 |
| linuxlurker | nmvictor, I dont know of a way to do it with only one box myself, no | 11:01 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, when terminal is open, type in there "ls -al .fluxbox/styles" and paste the first line ( and only this one ) here | 11:01 |
| mylisto | How can I completely remove a program from my system...I had xchat on, but some settings got really jacked and I want to comp remove it from my system. | 11:01 |
| mylisto | I used add/remove but it didn't work... | 11:01 |

| will__ | XML animated background creator 0.6 | 11:10 |
| aperson | will__, no, I need the name of the executable | 11:10 |
| llutz | yehia: according to your imagebin you try to move it to /usr/share/fluxbox, not to ~/.fluxbox | 11:10 |
| llutz | yehia: so you told us s..t all the time | 11:10 |
| will__ | that would be the zip name right | 11:10 |
| will__ | what the zip file is labeled? | 11:10 |
| llutz | yehia: have you ever read that error-mesg? | 11:10 |
| aperson | will__, how did you install it? | 11:10 |

| ortsvorsteher | llutz, good idea :) | 11:10 |
| will__ | from gnome eye candy | 11:10 |
| linuxlurker | llutz, does he have hidden files showing in his gui? | 11:11 |
| will__ | can give you the direct link if you want it | 11:11 |
| yehia | ortversteher, i did but nothing happend | 11:11 |
| llutz | linuxlurker: no, | 11:11 |
| aperson | will__, that's where you got it from, I need to know the steps you took to install it | 11:11 |

| will__ | well i downloaded it | 11:11 |
| infecto | hardware drivers is telling me that i`m using nvidia 180 driver | 11:11 |
| ortsvorsteher | yehia, do what llutz told you, <llutz> yehia: according to your imagebin you try to move it to /usr/share/fluxbox, not to ~/.fluxbox | 11:11 |
| aperson | !who | will | 11:11 |

| yehia | no llutz. iam working on the folder as you guided me and on the right folder ... if you want to give me the full command . i will do it and i will show you the ouput | 11:38 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, then you'll likely want a quad core | 11:38 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, if encoding is a big part of it | 11:38 |
| kikky | dasei how do u even do a cd in this shell_ | 11:38 |
| ginbuntu | nemiro, i know I need a quad core, but which one is the fastest one? | 11:38 |
| llutz | yehia: your error in imagebin shows a different folder than ~/.fluxbox. so on what folder are you really working? | 11:39 |
| aperson | will__, for starters, can you open up a terminal? | 11:39 |
| will__ | yes | 11:39 |
| yehia | usr/share/fluxbox/styles llutz | 11:39 |

| yehia | llutz. there i want to extract and copy | 11:40 |

| madjoe | is GK in gksudo short for "graphic kit", or something? | 11:40 |
| llutz | yehia: that IS NO ~/.fluxbox!! | 11:40 |
| DasEi | kikky: how many drives does the pc have ? | 11:40 |
| aperson | will__, then: sudo rm ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/* | 11:40 |
| yehia | llutz, i know | 11:40 |
| will__ | it says no such file or directory | 11:40 |
| ginbuntu | nemiro, money is not a problem | 11:40 |

| will__ | ok i removed the e, it says will@will laptop | 11:43 |
| DasEi | kikky: want to back up current situation case things get worse ? | 11:43 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, wish I could say the same.. the Q9550s purports to keep up with lower ends of the i7 series | 11:43 |
| kikky | dasei sure, | 11:43 |
| DasEi | kikky: insert empty usb stick | 11:43 |
| Paulo39 | the image of the cd is fine because he has installed on other pcs | 11:43 |
| aperson | will__, did you run: sudo rm ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/* ? | 11:43 |
| DipSwitch | can you set $GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT to xgfxterm in a etc/defaults/grub or should it be set to xgfxterm by some check in the update-grub? | 11:43 |

| kikky | dasei http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/nuwQp8SJ | 11:43 |
| aperson | will__, did that run without error? | 11:44 |
| will__ | well i put that command in | 11:44 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, without upgrading to i7, the "fastest" (ie. most expensive) Quad core is the Q9650 | 11:44 |
| will__ | now it just moved down a line in the terminal, no complete confirmation or anything | 11:44 |
| DasEi | kikky: usb inserted ? | 11:44 |
| kikky | dasei i m searcing , just a sec | 11:45 |
| aperson | will__, then it ran without error, that should have removed the script then | 11:45 |
| ginbuntu | nemiro, is the i7 faster than the Q9650? | 11:45 |
| DipSwitch | ginbuntu y | 11:45 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, the i7 series is indeed faster. It is a new socket | 11:45 |
| will__ | yea i repasted that line hit enter and it said no such file or directory hence it must have been removed correct | 11:45 |
| rioch | I've created two partitions during the installation for music and photos, but when I try to copy files to them, it says I don't have permissions. How can I correct this? | 11:45 |
| nemiro | ginbuntu, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7 | 11:46 |
| DipSwitch | nemiro the speed of a processor is not defined by it's socket... | 11:46 |
| nemiro | DipSwitch, I understand that | 11:46 |
| nemiro | DipSwitch, in this case, the speed comes from the newer architecture | 11:46 |
| DipSwitch | oke oke ^^ | 11:46 |
| aperson | will__, yessir, can you access appearance now? | 11:46 |
| nemiro | DipSwitch, I mentioned it because he asked about LGA775 to begin with :D | 11:47 |
| will__ | no | 11:47 |
| DipSwitch | ah nvm me then, hides back in the dark corners of the channel ^^ | 11:47 |
| will__ | right click on desktop does nothing, so does system-pref-appearance | 11:47 |
| DasEi | kikky: it's not really needed, as it's messed up anyway, but o'course there are some recent info for a possible recovery there | 11:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can anyone suggest an app online that allows synchronised online presentation or even groups to work together, something with more flexibility than google docs? | 11:48 |
| DipSwitch | can you set $GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT to xgfxterm in a etc/defaults/grub or should it be set to xgfxterm by some check in the update-grub? | 11:48 |
| DasEi | Pirate_Hunter: ubuntu-one ? | 11:48 |
| will__ | would it help if i shown you the exact site where the file came from, maybe you can see if it is for a different distro or perhaps the terminal line does not match the file to be removed | 11:49 |
| DasEi | !ubuntu-one > Pirate_Hunter | 11:49 |
| DipSwitch | nvm i guess gfxboot would do the trick i think | 11:49 |

| iceroot | codygman: it is recommend to use the current time on all machines | 12:22 |
| jrib | codygman: why do you have a different time than your server :) | 12:23 |
| iceroot | codygman: if you have time-differences there might be problems with samba (winbind) and so on | 12:23 |
| codygman | because it's located somewhere else lol | 12:23 |
| codygman | i got it from rackspace :P | 12:23 |

| will__ | moved down one line is all | 12:23 |

| yirctest | Hello, are there drivers for ATI Radeon graphics cards out there now? | 12:24 |
| will__ | would it hurt to remove nautilus entirely | 12:24 |
| jrib | codygman: use whatever timezone you want, it doesn't have to be physically in that timezone to make sense really. The time is the same (utc), your just representing it differently (different time zone). It's like using ft instead of cm | 12:24 |
| iceroot | srini: that is not a good error-description | 12:24 |
| iceroot | !ati | yirctest | 12:24 |

| srini | iceroot: may i know what is repeat mode? | 12:25 |

| rumpsy | Dr_Willis: Is there is any way to install that ? :( | 12:38 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: most of those various applet tools let you install addational applets as a user. in the users home dir. What applet system are you using? | 12:38 |
| rumpsy | Dr_Willis: i donno, gnome | 12:39 |
| === gmch is now known as austriancoder | ||
| will__ | i just exported it, it exports as a text document. shouldnt it be a executable file or similar | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: you need to be more clear on what you are trying todo exactly. | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: i dont even know what you are trying to 'install' | 12:40 |
| aperson | will__, nope most configuration settings are text files | 12:40 |
| rumpsy | Dr_Willis: i want to install docklets, its like gdesklets or rocketdock | 12:40 |
| will__ | so when i reboot all i have to do is access compiz then open the text file through compiz? | 12:40 |
| NatGirl | hi! i'm using ubuntu 9.10 with gnome, and I'd like to know if there is a way to turn off the "tips" on gnome. Like when I put the mouse on the close button of the windows it shows a yellow tip saying "close window". Can I turn it off? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: you could compile the source and keep it in your users home dir. If you dont have permissions to install system wide things | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: theres alternative ways to get desktop 'widgits' also. Opera can do widgits. as can google-desktop | 12:41 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: that should work in 9.04, as it still got an initab, if the script itself is fine, idk | 12:41 |
| Mikerhinos | hi | 12:42 |
| will__ | sent a screenshot of it | 12:42 |

| aperson | will__, upload it to imgur.com , I always have troubles with dcc | 12:42 |
| will__ | ok | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: if you cant install stuff system wide as a admin user. You must basically compile the stuff for your own users personal use. | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: if the various dev tools are even installed. | 12:42 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: does it it superprivileges ? | 12:42 |
| aperson | will__, my method was to just back up the directory where the configuration was stored and then copy it back when you've reinstalled | 12:43 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: does it need* superprivileges ? | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rumpsy: some tools may also have precompile tar.gz packages you could use. | 12:43 |
| aperson | will__, that's the easiest way to back up all most any of your system's configurations | 12:43 |
| rumpsy | Dr_Willis: yup i'm searching for that | 12:43 |
| will__ | http://imgur.com/UatYz | 12:43 |

| rainer_ | Hi I've a problem with my samba. After the new release I can't see any of my windows network. Can anybody help me here? | 12:45 |
| aperson | will__, should be, that'll save your compiz settings . is that all you're backing up? | 12:46 |
| will__ | that and all the themes i installed, pictures, music, xxms player | 12:46 |
| will__ | cant think of much more | 12:46 |
| will__ | downloads | 12:46 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: should be , if set by defaults, idk then | 12:46 |
| will__ | by the way do you know how to make a backup cd, not of ubuntu then but ubuntu with what i got in it NOW | 12:47 |
| will__ | a backup cd that also has all MY settings and FILES | 12:47 |
| rodfersou | DasEi, sorry... I can't understand what you said... what do you mean by "idk" ? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: theres tools to do that. But ive not used any in ages. 'mondo/mindi' was one i used a long time ago | 12:47 |
| rainer_ | Hi I've a problem with my samba. After the new release I can't see any of my windows network. Can anybody help me here? | 12:47 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: I don't know | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: then theres various fs archiver tools | 12:48 |
| bazhang | rainer_, new release? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: and it will proberly take more then 1 cd. :) | 12:48 |
| rainer_ | yes the new ubuntu | 12:48 |
| will__ | not familiar with archiving, easy? | 12:48 |
| rodfersou | DasEi, ok... thank you for your help! I'm going to try a bash script instead a python script =] | 12:48 |
| aperson | will__, if you backup your home folder, hidden files and all, that would essentially back up all of your settings and files | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: depends on f you mean your 'users' stuff.. vs 'the whole system' | 12:48 |
| will__ | couldnt just drag and drop to cd-r could i | 12:49 |
| dehqan | ~/.dmrc permission has been changed , am trying to chmod 644 it but bash gives error that can not run excutes ... | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: it all Depends.. | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | dehqan: if its messed up you can just delete it - it will get remade at next login | 12:49 |
| aperson | will__, I'd throw it all into a tar.gz first | 12:49 |
| will__ | dont really need the whole system got that already on cd, just evything i downloaded and installed MINUS THAT ANIMATED WALLPAPER | 12:49 |
| dehqan | Dr_Willis: thanks and how to chroot to non-root user? | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | dehqan: I think thats what you use the 'su' command for. normally | 12:50 |
| DasEi | rodfersou: I'm in the beginning of that stuff myself, what worked so far for me was same approach (bash/initab), but from 9.10 upstart is there,, another (older) method is to put in rc.local, though then have to get the su-privilges in, too) or use a cronjob by root | 12:50 |
| rainer_ | Thank you for the help bybyby | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | will__: copy your stuff from your users HOME to some place else to back it up then | 12:50 |
| aperson | will__, backing up your home folder wouldn't be backing up your whole system, just your settings and files | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | i have 7gb of Wallpapers in my Home. :) | 12:51 |
| aperson | will__, and we already pruned that wallpaper crap in your home | 12:51 |
| dehqan | Dr_Willis: how to chroot to non-root user? su user ? | 12:51 |
| will__ | ok, so select the folder and right click-create archive-tar.gz? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | dehqan: yes somthing like that.. when in doubt check the man pages and the --help options for the command | 12:51 |
| will__ | so that wallpaper things in there huh | 12:51 |
| aperson | will__, nope, pruned = deleted | 12:51 |
| will__ | o kool | 12:52 |
| aperson | will__, make sure you have hidden files showing | 12:52 |
| Aiity | OLaaa | 12:52 |
| will__ | ctrl+h then highlight all of it, archive-tar.gz right | 12:52 |
| aperson | will__, yep | 12:52 |
| user11 | ndian | 12:52 |

| BlackExplotioN | mersi saol | 13:08 |
| TxPitou | manou_: usually to get to biosm, you have to press F2, F9, F10, or F12 | 13:09 |
| Mikerhinos | TxPitou you can try to enter compiz --replace in the alt+F2 command dialog box too if you didn't tried it already | 13:09 |

| knxville | aperson, i tried, did not.. I have to specify the host/link/interface | 13:33 |
| ChogyDan | mouse: I forget how the .Xmodmap file works, but that command should create that file in your home directory (it is hidden, ctrl+h to see hidden files) I swapped 3 and 4, but those might be the wrong buttons to swap. You have to play with it. You also may need to restart X to make the settings take affect | 13:34 |

| TxPitou | kicks his caplock key | 13:37 |
| indus | mouse, alt - printscren - k | 13:37 |
| mouse | I was afraid of that. Alright be back in a second. | 13:37 |
| airtonix | indus, that wont work on all machines either | 13:37 |
| indus | i cant account for all machines ,iam a general helper, is his problem specific | 13:38 |
| Halitech | does dropping to a termina and running sudo service gdm restart work? | 13:38 |
| Myrtti | indus: the correct method is sysrq - k (where the method of getting sysrq is variable) | 13:38 |
| airtonix | Halitech, yes | 13:38 |
| indus | Myrtti, what dou you mean? | 13:38 |
| icqn | what is the name of the ubuntu's 9.10 default gnome theme? or what package causes this theme changes? | 13:38 |
| indus | method of getting sysrq ah yes | 13:39 |
| Myrtti | indus: in some keyboards sysrq key is on the same button with print scrn and you use is by pressing alt and printscreen button at the same time | 13:39 |
| Halitech | airtonix, thought so, wasn't sure if that was exactly right though | 13:39 |
| elrond_ | how do i set up my eth1 wireless interface to be Wi-Fi like wifi0 on other common linux dists? | 13:39 |

| airtonix | icqn, icons: humanity, metacity : human, login : humanity-(black or something?) | 13:39 |
| indus | Myrtti, isnt it same for all? so Alt - Sysrq- k | 13:39 |
| indus | so wht does alt do i wonder, is it like shift key | 13:40 |
| Myrtti | indus: laptops might need to use fn keys... etc. | 13:40 |
| airtonix | Halitech, assuming you're running karmic or later (older versions would have you use /etc/init.d/<insert your display manager here> restart | 13:40 |

| Ceeriael | How do i add linux drivers ?? Ive downloaded raid drivers, and now have allot of *.img files... how do i install them so Ubuntu will se my RAID card ? | 13:40 |
| Ceeriael | im using the 9.10 live cd | 13:40 |
| Halitech | airtonix, true, used to thinking newer versions | 13:40 |
| Myrtti | indus: all I'm saying is that "alt-printscrn-k" isn't the exact way of describing what keys to press... | 13:41 |
| indus | Myrtti, ok | 13:41 |
| indus | Myrtti, then how to | 13:41 |
| airtonix | indus, Myrtti sysrq can also have unintended results depending on whether or not you managed to miss some of the keys | 13:42 |
| ChogyDan | indus: isn't SysRq written on your printscreen key? | 13:42 |
| indus | crtl alt backspace was so much better | 13:42 |
| indus | yes i hear there is an entire comination you can use | 13:42 |
| indus | like restart system too with R? | 13:42 |
| mouse | chogydan: Thank you very much. It's working perfectly now. It was buttons 6 and 7 that needed to be swapped. | 13:43 |
| airtonix | indus, yes but you need to turn that feature on now by using the keyboard layout manager | 13:43 |
| indus | ah huhu ok | 13:43 |

| ChogyDan | mouse: great, your welcome | 13:43 |

| TxPitou | well according to " http://linux.die.net/man/1/gdm" the command to restart gdm is "gdm-restart" in terminal. so there :P | 13:44 |

| FloodBot2 | indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:46 |
| aperson | knxville, that should should take any ip arp spits out and tell it to delete it | 13:46 |
| mouse | Is there a way to make it so ubuntu won't remember size and location of windows when they are closed or opened? | 13:46 |
| indus | ok that was stupid | 13:46 |
| knxville | aperson, thanks alot! | 13:46 |
| indus | i tink B is reboot | 13:47 |

| TxPitou | vivid: so like a widget on your desktop ? | 13:48 |
| Halitech | vivid, there are apps like gmail-checker | 13:48 |
| airtonix | mouse, yes... you need to delete the gnome session files in your home folder. | 13:48 |
| knxville | aperson, so it was possible to make my assignment without flushing my arp cache.. | 13:48 |
| indus | macman_, not easy unless, did you try with cinelerra, i think the audio plays separate so it can be delayed manualy | 13:48 |
| aperson | vivid, I believe you're looking for a email notifier? | 13:48 |
| indus | macman_, try kino also , dont remember which one does that | 13:48 |
| indus | gtg cya | 13:48 |
| macman_ | what are these programs ? | 13:48 |
| indus | macman_, those are video editing programs | 13:49 |
| Halitech | macman_, I believe avidemux will adjust it or vlc might have an option if you don't want to recode it | 13:49 |
| mouse | airtonix: I would have to delete the gnome session file pretty regularly though right? | 13:49 |
| indus | macman_, you will need one of that to fix | 13:49 |
| airtonix | mouse, do you have gnome-session-properties open ? | 13:50 |
| indus | ya probably avidemux too macman_ try | 13:50 |
| vivid | aperson, uhh, pretty much i dont want to be constantly checking my mail, but rather being notified when i have some | 13:50 |

| Tdubell | i'm running ubuntu on virtualbox and it won't show the available wireless networks | 15:32 |
| LUEshi | is there any way to get a atheros usb device working? | 15:32 |
| Myrtti | Tdubell: why would it? in most cases the virtual machines networking is handled by the host to appear as an ethernet device | 15:33 |
| Acyrona | Tdubell: it should find a cable network and connect if your host is connected | 15:33 |
| Tdubell | well, when i ran it on a usb device, it did | 15:33 |
| Myrtti | Tdubell: also, depending on the case of which version of virtualbox you are using, usb devices aren't supported at all | 15:33 |
| LUEshi | im using a dlink wua 2340 usb adapter and it doesnt seem like it is being recognized | 15:33 |
| Tdubell | i know, but when I was running ubuntu on a live usb it worked, but now that i'm running it on virtualbox it doesn't | 15:34 |
| LUEshi | I have read that usb adapter using the ath chipset are not supported yet | 15:34 |
| LUEshi | oh, that was a question of my own, i wasnt trying to answer any of yours sorry | 15:34 |
| Acyrona | Tdubell: that's not ubuntu's fault, it's because of virtualization | 15:34 |
| uomooo | ciaooooooo ragazzi | 15:35 |
| Acyrona | it's not supposed to find wireless connection | 15:35 |
| Tdubell | kk, what can i do to make it work then? | 15:35 |
| Myrtti | Tdubell: running on an actual machine and hardware is totally different thing to running in a virtual machine. Note the words: Virtual Machine | 15:35 |
| Sh3r1ff | Tdubell: install the not ose version of virtualbox | 15:35 |
| Sh3r1ff | Tdubell: in the ose version, usb is not supported | 15:36 |

| Tdubell | here, http://nopaste.gamedev.pl/?id=6484 | 15:37 |
| Acyrona | Tdubell: your host OS is supposed to take care of wireless connection | 15:37 |

| reanimation | can anyone tell me why i am unable to install httpd | 15:37 |

| seli | hola | 15:38 |
| celthunder | reanimation, if that's what you meant | 15:38 |
| Acyrona | did you let virtualbox install its drivers? | 15:38 |
| Acyrona | also, look for a wired network inside the guest | 15:38 |
| Acyrona | not wireless | 15:39 |
| seli | yo soy española | 15:39 |
| Myrtti | Tdubell: the host machine, the operating system that you are running the virtualbox on, is supposed to pass the internet connection to the guest virtual machine. If the connection works on your host machine, then it's supposed to work in your guest virtual machine. | 15:39 |

| mhall119|work | !es | perez | 16:01 |
| ubottu | perez: 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. | 16:01 |
| katesmith | i hope someone can help me | 16:01 |
| Slart | Omerta: oh.. that bad.. hang on | 16:01 |
| perez | ok | 16:01 |
| Myrtti | katesmith: it's your password, you pick the password | 16:01 |
| katesmith | i tried but it did not work | 16:01 |
| perez | i dar but no salir | 16:01 |
| Slart | katesmith: there shouldn't be a password during the install.. are you using the regular ubuntu install cd? | 16:01 |
| Omerta | also there's flash player which i want to keep :) | 16:01 |
| Dr_Willis | katesmith: clarify exactly what its asking, and when. | 16:01 |
| mhall119|work | perez: there are also many local group channels for different countries | 16:01 |
| mhall119|work | perez: check http://loco.ubuntu.com for a full list of local groups | 16:02 |
| perez | wat no em sale coñooo | 16:03 |
| erUSUL | katesmith: it is not the password for your user account the one that is asking? | 16:03 |
| rblst_ | is there a way to recreate places menu? | 16:03 |
| perez | shit | 16:03 |
| Martijn | llutz : I can run the schedule manager as root, work like a charm | 16:03 |
| === metaperl_ is now known as metaperl | ||
| Dr_Willis | rblst_: how did you remove the places menu anyway? | 16:03 |
| katesmith | you are about to install ubuntu-1.10 unbuntu1 please selectu username and password for the new account | 16:03 |
| masu3701 | is there any program like Itune in ubuntu | 16:03 |
| mhall119|work | perez: well that comes across in english | 16:03 |
| VCoolio | Omerta: try to find packages you have installed that sound like adobe or adbe, 'dpkg -l | grep -i adobe' for example, the dpkr --remove the one you don't want anymore | 16:03 |
| mhall119|work | masu3701: Rhythmbox | 16:03 |
| katesmith | erUSUL is there a way that i can find the password for the user account? | 16:03 |
| Slart | Omerta: try this "dpkg -l adobe" | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | katesmith: You are doing what exactly to install this? I think you are doing somthing very odd that is confuseing us. | 16:04 |
| Slart | Omerta: it should give you a slightly shorter list of packages | 16:04 |
| masu3701 | mhall119|work: will that allow me to organise and sink music in my ipod | 16:04 |
| katesmith | oh | 16:04 |
| erUSUL | katesmith: the installer ask you to set the one you want just choose one and type it. probably it will ask you to type it twice | 16:04 |
| Dr_Willis | katesmith: you dowloaded the ubuntu iso, you put it in the cd. you rebooted and booted from the cd? or what exactly? | 16:04 |
| rblst_ | Dr_Willis: i did not, i've installed a karmic with an existing home partition; now if i click on Places->Home or Desktop, media player launches instead of nautilus | 16:04 |
| CoolGeek57 | where can I find help about Ekiga | 16:04 |
| Omerta | ok Slart thank you, i finally found it | 16:05 |
| mhall119|work | masu3701: I believe so, I used it with my ipod shuffle years ago | 16:05 |
| usuario_ | hello how do I install bin files? | 16:05 |
| erUSUL | !ekyga | CoolGeek57 | 16:05 |
| masu3701 | ok thank man | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | rblst_: sounds like the file manager got confused. You may want to reset all your users gnome settings. (or test with a newly made user first) | 16:05 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: what bin file exactly? | 16:05 |
| Slart | katesmith: ubuntu 1.10? not 9.10? .. anyways.. if it asks for a username and user password it's up to you to choose one.. it will be the one you'll use to login to the system | 16:05 |
| usuario_ | cmaptools bin | 16:05 |
| meco | Are there support forums for all Ubuntu applications, such as the Clock? | 16:05 |
| usuario_ | you know .bin | 16:05 |
| katesmith | it is working now i had to enter it 2 times , thankyou so much | 16:05 |
| Slart | usuario_: depends on what kind of file it is. | 16:05 |
| usuario_ | what kind? | 16:06 |
| mhall119|work | meco: the clock is part of Gnome, so maybe Gnome support | 16:06 |
| Slart | usuario_: that it ends in bin doesn't really tell us what kind of file it is | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: 'bin' is just a gernic extension that means very little. theres self installing excutables that often use the silly .bin extension | 16:06 |
| rblst_ | Dr_Willis, how can i reset gnome settings, and what do i lose with that? | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: so somthing like 'sudo sh whatever.bin' might work | 16:06 |
| usuario_ | yes dr willis | 16:06 |
| meco | mhall119|work: Where do I find GNOME Support? | 16:06 |
| usuario_ | is a installer | 16:06 |
| usuario_ | an installer | 16:06 |
| mhall119|work | meco: gnome.org | 16:06 |
| Slart | usuario_: try running "file yourfile.bin" to see what it is | 16:06 |
| meco | OK | 16:06 |
| Slart | usuario_: or you might want to read the instructions on the site where you got the bin file.. | 16:06 |
| Dr_Willis | rblst_: theres various .gnome* and .gtk* directories with the settings. Not sure what settings you want to keep. I tend to clean my settings out every few months anyway | 16:06 |
| usuario_ | ok i think i'll try the sh option | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: or 'chmode +s whatever.bin' then 'sudo ./whatever.bin' or just './whatevber.bin' | 16:07 |
| usuario_ | what another kind of bin exists? | 16:07 |
| usuario_ | and sorry for my english | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: 'bin' means NOTHING. except 'binary' | 16:07 |
| usuario_ | i'm spanish | 16:07 |
| usuario_ | ok thx | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: use of exeutable bin installe4rs are somewhat rare in linux. | 16:07 |
| usuario_ | yeah i know | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: they often have major problems. | 16:07 |
| Slart | usuario_: it could be an executable file.. or it could be a cd image (usually together with a cue file) .. or it could be something else.. some archive | 16:07 |
| meco | Is this different from GIMPnet? | 16:08 |
| usuario_ | Slart, it is an installer | 16:08 |
| mhall119|work | meco: different network, yes | 16:08 |
| Pici | meco: this is freenode | 16:08 |
| meco | OK | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: try joining gimpnet in a different irc client and see :) | 16:08 |
| usuario_ | why major problems? | 16:08 |
| * abhi_nav just successfully solved nm-applet prob!!! :-) | 16:08 | |
| Slart | usuario_: that's like saying "it's a red car" when the mechanic asks what kind of car you have a problem with | 16:08 |
| usuario_ | haha | 16:08 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: becuae they often break on different disrtos, or newer disrto versions | 16:08 |
| usuario_ | i understand | 16:08 |
| Omerta | Slart, thank you very much for your assistance | 16:09 |
| Slart | usuario_: what program is it you're trying to install? | 16:09 |
| Slart | Omerta: you're welcome | 16:09 |
| usuario_ | Slart: CmapLite | 16:09 |
| meco | Dr_Willis: I'm using a highly sophisticated client that allows me to stay on several networks in the same session | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: most do that. :) | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: one of the few i recall that dident.. was mIRC :) but it may have that feature now. | 16:09 |
| usuario_ | well, I've created an appliance for my school (openSUSE) and I must get CmapTools in | 16:09 |
| eer | so everytime i boot up, brub boots up and i have to manually load kernel and boot it - how to solve this | 16:09 |
| eer | brub = grub | 16:09 |
| abhi_nav | eer: brub? | 16:09 |
| usuario_ | and I created an autostart entry (check it): sh instalarcmaplite.bin | 16:10 |
| eer | and in the /boot/ i dont see windows there | 16:10 |
| abhi_nav | eer: :-) | 16:10 |
| usuario_ | well sh /home/edu/instalarcmaplite.bin | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: if its an INSTALLEr, you run it once.. and it does the install.... | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | usuario_: you wouldent want to auto-run it everytime you login | 16:10 |
| usuario_ | yeah, that's a problem | 16:10 |
| usuario_ | yeah | 16:10 |
| usuario_ | Didn't thought that! | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | so.. whats the problem then? actually you do realise this isent the SUSE channel right? | 16:11 |
| usuario_ | I forgot | 16:11 |
| sambagirlx | i accidently removed trashcan from panel how do i get it back? | 16:11 |
| usuario_ | right click on panel | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | sambagirlx: right click on panel, add to panel... | 16:11 |
| usuario_ | add to panel | 16:11 |
| usuario_ | and then you add the trash applet | 16:11 |
| usuario_ | and move it | 16:11 |
| sambagirlx | i mean the bottom one | 16:11 |
| sambagirlx | not the top one | 16:12 |
| in_a_ru5h | Hello | 16:12 |
| usuario_ | Yes | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | sambagirlx: it dosent matter.. a panel is a panel | 16:12 |
| usuario_ | you can do | 16:12 |
| usuario_ | it with the bottom panel | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | you can move things from one panel to the other | 16:12 |
| Myrtti | !enter | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:12 |
| in_a_ru5h | Can anybody help with a NBR install on an eeepc 900? | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Right click on the Bottom panel.. add to panel, drag/drop the trash widgit to the panel you want.. time to explore the OS a bit. :) | 16:12 |
| sambagirlx | that did it | 16:12 |
| sambagirlx | thanks | 16:12 |
| meco | Is there a channel where I can get help with connecting to another IRC network? | 16:12 |
| Slart | meco: try #freenode | 16:12 |
| meco | OK | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: the irc chat client you are using normally has a chenel | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: what irc client are you using exactly? | 16:13 |
| bombcm | x-chat | 16:13 |
| meco | Konversation. I know it has a channel | 16:13 |
| sambagirlx | the panel looks different now on the bottom. | 16:13 |
| sambagirlx | but it is ok now it shows autohide options and stuff like that where it didnt before. | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | meco: proberly in the menus.. 'connect to server' or 'make new server tab' then you connect to the new server | 16:13 |
| sambagirlx | it works better now. | 16:13 |
| phox_ | Hi! Is there any way to make transmission automaticcly unrar things i download, and then delete the .rar-files? I dont want them to seed anything, since i got a seedbox for that. I am open to use other bittorrent-programs for this service. | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | sambagirlx: it depens on where you right click | 16:14 |
| MichaelKohler | I updated to Lucid and now I get a `error 15: file not found` when booting.. i already tried to do grub-install, but that didn't help. what could I do? | 16:14 |
| meco | Dr_Willis: It's not a general problem. It's specific. I'll go elsewehere and make inquiries... | 16:14 |
| iceroot | MichaelKohler: #ubuntu+1 | 16:14 |
| MichaelKohler | ah, ok | 16:14 |
| Zet | doesn't the netbook version support two-finger tap for middle-click? | 16:14 |
| rblst_ | Dr_Willis: i only have a folder called .gnome2, i erased it but it did not solve the problem | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | phox_: transmission is a very basic client. You could in theory have it move completed downlopads somewhere.. then watch that dir and auto-unrar stuff | 16:14 |
| Zet | I can't seem to make it work | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | rblst_: theres .gtk* also i recall | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetgnome | 16:14 |
| dehqan | there are 2 folder , folder 2 contains all folder 1 files , how to copy files of folder2 that are not in folder 1 ? | 16:15 |
| Zet | no wait, it does, according to xev | 16:15 |
| rblst_ | Dr_Willis: in the home folder? | 16:15 |
| in_a_ru5h | I used to get a "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" error. Then I changed the USB media and the USB live creator. Now all that I get after a perfect live session and 2 attemped installs is the "Checking battery state... ...Done" and then a hang. I can get it to the command line and log in in command line by changing the BIOS settings but I don;t know where to go from there. Any ideas? | 16:15 |
| aaron11 | Hey I need help with seting up Blam to read the OMG! Ubuntu blog. Can someone help me through this. And whenever I try to open a article it allways opens Nautilus for some reason instead of opening the feed | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | rblst_: just looking here. i see a .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd those all got some settings in them and proberly some in .config also | 16:16 |
| khafiz | guys, how to get the information either my machine is 32bit or 64bit? | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | khafiz: whats its cpu? | 16:16 |
| Slart | dehqan: this might take a little while.. if you can wait a couple of minutes I can try to figure something out | 16:16 |
| in_a_ru5h | Any kind people able to help me? | 16:17 |
| khafiz | Dr_Willis: do you mean the processor? | 16:18 |
| Slart | khafiz: that's hard to tell.. it's easier to see if you're using 32bit or 64bit ubuntu by looking at the kernel name | 16:18 |
| Martijn | Do I need to remove the sudoers.tmp manualy after an edit? | 16:18 |
| khafiz | Slart: im about to install linux on my laptop | 16:18 |
| bombcm | cpu support 64 bit architecture ? | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | khafiz: CPU = Central Processing UNIT | 16:19 |
| Slart | khafiz: hmm I don't really know of a good way.. except checking what cpu it uses | 16:19 |
| in_a_ru5h | I bet my problem is too hard for you! lol | 16:19 |
| khafiz | Slart: the processor it amd 64 x2 tk-57 | 16:19 |
| iceroot | !details | in_a_ru5h | 16:19 |
| ubottu | in_a_ru5h: 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 ..." | 16:19 |
| Slart | khafiz: sounds like it would be able to run 64bit | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: or its not clear.. then again,, ive rarely had install issues.. so cant really say why you are. | 16:19 |
| in_a_ru5h | I used to get a "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" error. Then I changed the USB media and the USB live creator. Now all that I get after a perfect live session and 2 attemped installs is the "Checking battery state... ...Done" and then a hang. I can get it to the command line and log in in command line by changing the BIOS settings but I don;t know where to go from there. Any ideas? | 16:19 |
| iceroot | Martijn: what editor? | 16:19 |
| Martijn | visudo | 16:19 |
| in_a_ru5h | It is the Ubuntu 9.10, NBR distro. On an EEEPC 900. | 16:20 |
| khafiz | Slart: shud b no problem to run 32 right? | 16:20 |
| arch0njw | khafiz: run this command in a terminal and share the results (should be one line): uname -rvm | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: i have to wonder what bios settings you are changeing | 16:20 |
| sibble | HELP! - my mouse back/fowrad buttons stopped working! They worked by default, so I'm not sure how to fix. xev does not see the keys I have no idea how to remap them | 16:20 |
| Slart | khafiz: nope.. that'll work just fine | 16:20 |
| Martijn | nevermind, chaching... The tmp file is gone :) | 16:20 |
| Pici | Martijn: No, you don't need to do anything. visudo will copy the file and save with the proper permissions when it closes. | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: how did you make this 'usb install media' ? | 16:20 |
| Martijn | yups, thanks | 16:20 |
| in_a_ru5h | Ok. It is the option for the "Os Install" "Finished/Start" | 16:20 |
| in_a_ru5h | In "Start" mode, I can get the command line." | 16:21 |
| phox_ | Dr_willis: okey, so how would one go about auto-unrar things in a folder? And then deleting the rar files | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: never see/heard of that option. so no idea what it does. Thers often forum threads on specific netbooks and any specific issues to watch out for | 16:21 |
| in_a_ru5h | I used.......I will check....... | 16:21 |
| Dr_Willis | phox_: with a bash script. or somghing like the 'FAM' file access monitoring service/deamons/tools | 16:21 |
| in_a_ru5h | I used "unetbootin" | 16:22 |
| phox_ | Dr_willis: okey, thx, ill google that | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: unetbootin should make a flash drive that should boot on most any pc. Have you tried that usb drive on any other pc's ? | 16:22 |
| in_a_ru5h | When I used the one that came with Ubuntu 9.10, I got the can not mount etc. error | 16:22 |
| in_a_ru5h | Even with the discard on shutdown command enabed. | 16:22 |
| in_a_ru5h | enabled* | 16:22 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: the one that came with 9.10 should also worked fine. Its possible you got some bad media. or iso file, or other issue | 16:22 |
| arch0njw | in_a_ru5h, Dr_Willis: there is also "usb-creator" which is graphical. I have had great success using that. | 16:23 |
| in_a_ru5h | I have been reading up and most people who get to the same stage of booting that I am are blaming Nvidia graphics drivers? | 16:24 |
| aaron11 | Hey I need help with seting up Blam to read the OMG! Ubuntu blog. Can someone help me through this. And whenever I try to open a article it allways opens Nautilus for some reason instead of opening the feed | 16:24 |
| in_a_ru5h | I believe that the one "arch" is refering to cam with the Ubuntu .sio | 16:24 |
| in_a_ru5h | .iso* | 16:24 |
| meway | Is there a way to tunnel a program threw ssh to a windows computer? | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | meway: you can do ssh tunnels wth windows and putty, and proberly other tools | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | meway: so 'yes' :) | 16:25 |
| conb123 | Anyone know if automatix is still available for ubuntu karmic? The site seems to be down | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | conb123: automatix is dead as far as i know. Its not needed any more | 16:25 |
| dehqan | Slart: is this solution ? rsync --dry-run -v source/directory destination/directory | 16:25 |
| trijntje | !automatix | 16:25 |
| ubottu | Automatix is no longer developed or supported by its creators and is not recommended, supported, or needed by Ubuntu. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubottu WorksForMe » | 16:25 |
| in_a_ru5h | I have not tried the pen drive in any other machines. I only have an apple macbook, and I didn't want to run the risk of damaging anything! Silly I know, but I just cannot risk it with this machine. | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | and good riddance to it. :) | 16:26 |
| meway | Dr_Willis: somone told me about these tunnels can you help me with this? | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | meway: nope. I never use them. Other then to say ive seen guides on doing it. | 16:26 |
| kostkon | conb123, you may like ubuntu-tweak | 16:26 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: booting from a flash driv shouldent affect a system at all. | 16:27 |
| meway | Dr_Willis: have any guids? | 16:27 |
| meway | Dr_Willis: or should I google it | 16:27 |
| aaron11 | Hey I need help with seting up Blam to read the OMG! Ubuntu blog. Can someone help me through this. And whenever I try to open a article it allways opens Nautilus for some reason instead of opening the feed | 16:27 |

| meway | Dr_Willis: kk thanks | 16:27 |
| conb123 | Thanks everyone | 16:27 |
| lostone | looks like ubuntu server 9.0.4 won't boot from an MPT SAS RAID | 16:28 |
| in_a_ru5h | Well, I am rerunning the install now on the eeepc, so when that has finished I will try it on this machine. I am betting it will work, but i'll come back and let you know!! | 16:28 |
| Slart | dehqan: I'm not sure.. rsync might check the files that already exist.. see if they are the same.. | 16:28 |
| Slart | dehqan: but give it a try.. create a smaller sample folder.. see if it does what you want | 16:28 |
| dehqan | Slart: yes seems it is not good idea | 16:28 |

| hellz_bellz | im trying to remove a package and its being very stubborn...refuses to even uncheck itself in synaptic | 16:32 |
| hellz_bellz | its partially removed | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | hellz_bellz: in the past ive had to 'install' then 'remove' a few weird packages... | 16:32 |
| hellz_bellz | E: xplico: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127 | 16:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a bug in the package almost hellz_bellz ... | 16:33 |
| hellz_bellz | ive tried "remove" | 16:33 |
| hellz_bellz | cant force it either | 16:33 |
| hellz_bellz | how do i get rid of it cause dpkg is broken now | 16:33 |
| seanbrystone2 | eeeks im updating dpkg as we speak, dont tell me its broken! :( | 16:34 |
| * seanbrystone2 worries | 16:34 | |
| Jon- | I am having an issue when I do an apt-get update. I have done some debugging and found that the Google chrome repository added in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is the one causing it to pause at 99% for a good minute or so. Is there anyway to fix this, is this a known problem? | 16:34 |
| Dr_Willis | whats broken in dpkg? | 16:34 |
| we | can i ask a question? | 16:35 |
| abhi_nav | !ask | we | 16:35 |

| Dr_Willis | thats why that 'ssh tunnle vnc' factoid the bot mentions comes in to play | 16:48 |
| meway | histo: ssh is open | 16:48 |
| llutz | StaRetji: "cmd1 && sleep x;cmd2 && sleep y; cmd3" | 16:48 |

| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: there is a memtest option in the first menus | 16:50 |
| in_a_ru5h | I could run a memory test from recovery mode? | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: ive had windows machines run with 'bad' ram.. they just crashed more.. so for windows thats normal... so it wasent all that noticeable. :) | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Most netbooks shold be working decantly well with the latest releases of ubuntu. | 16:51 |
| in_a_ru5h | lol, well I'm sure that this is OK. the machine ran for days and days without crashing. i used it for very little though. | 16:51 |
| in_a_ru5h | Thats what I would have expected. And the Live version ran perfectly. | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | in_a_ru5h: make a list of what did and dident work for future referance.. If Live setup 'works' but Installed system dosent.. that points to possible bad media, or oddity in the hard drive. | 16:52 |

| Slart | dehqan: ah.. yes.. folder2 was the one with more files.. my bad.. | 16:53 |

| in_a_ru5h | Ok. I will do. I usually work more systematically but for this one I was hitting things I have zero understanding of. I am totally new to linux. I have had troubles with installs in the past. It does put me off using it in future. I would like to put it on an old laptop that belongs to a friend to try and get the most out of an aging system, but things like this really put me off. | 16:55 |
| Slart | caustic: just ask.. there's no queue | 16:55 |
| Dr_Willis | danniel: i always tell the installer to mount my windows drive to /media/windows or look in the places menu for your windows drive | 16:55 |

| caustic | how do i change what session i want as default from the terminal? | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: mint has its own tech support.. - reverse what you did to make it boot to xterm? or restart the gdm service? | 16:56 |
| Slart | ikonia: huh? troll? | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: select with gdm -> it writes it to .dmrc and thats the default | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: I think :) | 16:56 |
| caustic | thank you DR_Wilis. this problem should be common to ubuntu, so i came in here | 16:57 |
| miriam_ | ola | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: i think the use of dmrc is common to most all disrtos that use GDM | 16:57 |
| caustic | I don't get the option to login and enter my password..it is set to auto-login | 16:57 |
| Dr_Willis | No one ever noticed the menus on the GDM login screen to selexct the sessions | 16:57 |
| caustic | that may be the key then...so it's ~/.drmc i need to look at? | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: or delete it.. and it will go back to system default | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: or start GDM and login/select a differnt session | 16:58 |
| caustic | lemme try that...its under ~? | 16:58 |
| caustic | xwindows is running, but it's shell is just an xterm | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | its in the home dir - yes | 16:58 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: so? you got a shell going. :) you can close X and start up gdm if you wanted to | 16:59 |
| caustic | i can run firefox from the term, but it's just one program at a time with no dressing (min,max,close) | 16:59 |
| caustic | yes | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: You need to run a WINDOW MANAGER also then | 16:59 |
| caustic | i can stop it, then startx | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: like 'icewm' or somthing for window decoration | 16:59 |

| caustic | wasn't gnome a WM? | 16:59 |
| caustic | i'm still kind of new | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: or exit back to the console and use 'sudo service gdm start' | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: gnome is a DESKTOP. metacity is the gnome window manager | 17:00 |
| caustic | i can do that..but when i reboot, it goes back to xterm | 17:00 |
| caustic | ahh that might be an issue | 17:00 |
| nperry | conb123: Internal is in the box hard drive. External is outside of your computer case. | 17:00 |

| caustic | let me ask this another way...how can i get the system to login to metacity and not xterm ? | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | caustic: EXIT/logout back to GDM and select a different session. | 17:00 |
| khafiz | i want to install but i dont know which distro i want to install. its either suse or ubuntu | 17:00 |
| caustic | is that in the ~/.dmrc? | 17:00 |
| nperry | conb123: It basically deals with remove the deivce different as they could be connected differently | 17:01 |
| caustic | it won't let me logout | 17:01 |

| Slart | AlexanderSupertr: jaunty alpha? jaunty has be released for a couple of months.. no need for an alpha now | 17:08 |
| Slart | AlexanderSupertr: or you mean lucid lynx? the one coming out in april? | 17:08 |
| hellz_bellz | m trying to remove a package that needs me to install apache2 but i cant install apache2 untill i remove the package...it has essentially broken dpkg due to this catch-22 situation | 17:08 |
| nperry | AlexanderSupertr: How come you've installed jaunty alpha, do you meant lucid alpha? | 17:08 |
| AlexanderSupertr | Slart: yes. I had the disc and planned to upgrade after installing alphs. | 17:09 |

| caustic | sudo service gdm start didn't bring me to login window. I am back at the xterm shell | 17:09 |
| sqwertle | I'll have to ask again later, I have to go for now | 17:09 |
| nperry | AlexanderSupertr: Are you able to boot into recovery? | 17:09 |
| Slart | AlexanderSupertr: the alpha can be pretty broken.. I would get a new install cd.. with the proper version | 17:09 |
| AlexanderSupertr | nperry: yes | 17:09 |
| AlexanderSupertr | Slart: humm | 17:09 |
| AlexanderSupertr | I installed Jaunty Alpha because I had the alphs disc available. | 17:10 |
| caustic | ~/.dmrc says xterm again | 17:10 |
| nperry | AlexanderSupertr: To save you having to redownload another cd, thats if you have another working computer, it'd be best to boot into reocvery, drop to shell with networking and type in sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:10 |
| caustic | maybe i'll just change it and turn off write capabilities | 17:11 |
| nperry | AlexanderSupertr: That'll take you to karmic and *should* fix your boot :) | 17:11 |

| AlexanderSupertr | nperry: actually I had Interpid working. Then I did package upgrades, not to Jaunty, just package upgrades. Then network manager stopped connecting to Wireless Network | 17:12 |
| AlexanderSupertr | SO I installed Jaunty | 17:12 |
| AlexanderSupertr | Jaunty too is not accessing Network | 17:12 |
| AlexanderSupertr | so upgrade through recovery shell wont work :( | 17:12 |
| nperry | It would be best to download karmic cd then, burn that and reinstall. | 17:13 |
| AlexanderSupertr | I can download Jaunty Release and install it. | 17:13 |
| AlexanderSupertr | just wanted to know if there some setting which takes Jaunty directly to shell on boot | 17:13 |
| nperry | AlexanderSupertr: Only if you remove X :P | 17:14 |
| caustic | alexander, i can tell you what's doing that on mine...but I don't want it to go to shell on boot | 17:14 |

I'd like to break the mirror, use tun2fs to upgrade, check that it worked, and then reconstitute the mirror from either the old or new versions depending on how it went. I can't quite figure out from the mdadm man page what to do. failing one of the disks should break it, and then I *think* upgrading the still-live one and adding the failed one back in will go forward. But | 18:00 |
| hellz_bellz | why did you switch to grub 1 | 18:00 |
| mgolisch | thats why the menu.lst ist empty | 18:00 |
| xiyuno | My grub has always been 1,97 beta 4 or something | 18:00 |
| museme | what program does anyone use to monitor system temps? | 18:00 |
| DemoOn | rigt grub2 have grub.cfg instead of menu.lst | 18:00 |
| Prabz | hi, I'm trying to access my laptop's broadband on my phone via bluetooth. All guides I find on the internet are very outdated.. could anybody guide me? | 18:00 |
| hellz_bellz | museme sensors-lm | 18:00 |
| xiyuno | so, i should edit the grub.cfg ? | 18:01 |
| hellz_bellz | NO | 18:01 |
| hellz_bellz | !grub2 | 18:01 |
| 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 | 18:01 |
| mgolisch | xiyuno: no you should read the grub2 config guide in the wiki | 18:01 |
| DemoOn | grub1 donesnt have grub.cfg | 18:01 |
| xiyuno | I have | 18:01 |
| xiyuno | But i didnt understand it | 18:01 |
| xiyuno | do i need to edit some files? | 18:01 |
| xiyuno | I have done that apt-get thing | 18:01 |
| hellz_bellz | what part did you need help with? | 18:01 |
| hellz_bellz | updating the list? | 18:01 |
| laeg | !mic | 18:01 |
| xiyuno | No, getting sound | 18:01 |
| laeg | !skype | 18:02 |
| ubottu | To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 18:02 |
| xiyuno | im following a tutorial | 18:02 |
| laeg | !audio | 18:02 |
| 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 | 18:02 |
| hellz_bellz | sound has nothing to do with the boot manager | 18:02 |
| xiyuno | well | 18:02 |
| xiyuno | yeah | 18:02 |
| xiyuno | it has | 18:02 |

| Flobin | I'm pretty much a linux newb | 18:09 |
| hellz_bellz | usually google but im not finding anything to help | 18:10 |

| wizkoder | I have HDA Intel that makes sound. | 18:49 |
| sfstikkun | Thanks so much Yyharssargyhaell....(that's a loooong moniker) | 18:49 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | Just type Yyharssargyhaell | 18:50 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | * YY and hit tab | 18:50 |
| rabbit1 | Athar: u still there? | 18:50 |
| racerd | is there someone that can help me mount a drive? | 18:50 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | !ask | racerd | 18:51 |
| ubottu | racerd: 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. :-) | 18:51 |
| racerd | well | 18:51 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | racerd, USB drive? | 18:51 |
| racerd | i am trying to mount a drive being shared via my router | 18:51 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | Oh | 18:52 |
| Prabz | wizkoder, even I have finally resolved sound issues on my HDA Intel using alsa.. :) | 18:52 |
| rabbit1 | alsa works good, it also solved my probs | 18:52 |
| racerd | crickets | 18:53 |
| rabbit1 | my audio device is busy always, only when i run a .mov files. how do i fix it ? i work on Hardy | 18:53 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | racerd, I don't have any experience with that. = / | 18:53 |
| Athar | rabbit1: ah, sorry. Never had the problem, so I don't know... but I would suggest trying to try the Karmic Live CD to see if it's fixed now. | 18:53 |
| racerd | yeah...... | 18:53 |
| rabbit1 | Athar: its ok, i am planning to get to 10.04 from 8.04 | 18:54 |
| racerd | i want to look at the named pics of my gf right now | 18:54 |
| racerd | but i don't want to be alwasy swapping out usb cords | 18:54 |
| racerd | naked* | 18:54 |
| rabbit1 | Athar: one person asked me to kill something after that it worked fine, but again after restart, its with same prob | 18:55 |
| wizkoder | Prabz: I just changed everything in the sound settings in system settings. now I use pulseaudio to record sound and its working. hopefully for as long as my call takes ;-) | 18:55 |
| Athar | rabbit1: PulseAudio, maybe? | 18:56 |
| rabbit1 | my audio device is busy always, only when i run a .mov files. how do i fix it ? i work on Hardy | 18:56 |
| rabbit1 | Athar: whts that? | 18:56 |
| rabbit1 | but y only with .mov files? | 18:56 |
| Prabz | wizkoder, pulseaudio doesn't work for amarok... atleast i couldn't get it to work.. :-) | 18:56 |
| Athar | rabbit1: PulseAudio is the sound server, I figured that was the application you killed... but does sound play at all? Or does it just cause high CPU usage? | 18:58 |
| rabbit1 | i use amarok, so pulseaudio is out | 18:58 |
| racerd | rabbit1: what is amarok? | 18:59 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | racerd, It's an audio player | 18:59 |
| webus | hi to all! process gvfsd-metadata is killing my hard drive. how i can clean space used gvfsd-metadata after i kill this process ? | 18:59 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | !amarok | racerd | 18:59 |
| ubottu | racerd: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 18:59 |
| racerd | ah | 18:59 |
| rabbit1 | Athar: sound plays, all other files are played in VLC and amarok, only the .mov extension file is not played in VLC, it says audio device is busy, used by other program? | 18:59 |
| racerd | now do that with mounting a network drive | 19:00 |
| Yyharssargyhaell | !mount network drive | racerd | 19:00 |

| spO | sorry | 19:54 |
| spO | i thought "wtf" was kosher because it means What the Freakin' | 19:54 |
| foobar64 | it's strange | 19:54 |
| guntbert | sp0 please state your problem | 19:55 |
| seanbrystone2 | he did | 19:55 |
| spO | what is a command to change the shell of root | 19:55 |
| |Gieke| | sound is working again | 19:55 |
| |Gieke| | the computer said "beeeeep", and it was up | 19:55 |
| |Gieke| | o.O | 19:55 |
| spO | su -c chsh -u root /bin/bash | 19:55 |
| foobar64 | sp0: what do you mean? | 19:55 |
| guntbert | sp0 not sure I understand what you want | 19:56 |
| spO | i need to correct the shell of root to /bin/bash | 19:56 |
| pavelz | Can anyone confirm , VLC playlist sort crashes the player. If I start vlc it jitters but starts playing, then if I open up a playlist window, and click on the tab to sort the playlist it crashes. | 19:57 |
| pavelz | 9.10 Karmic Koala vlc 1.0.2 | 19:57 |
| guntbert | sp0: sudo chsh -- should work | 19:58 |
| spO | root does not even have a password right, ? chsh: PAM authentication failed | 19:59 |
| kubanc | is there any possibility to run Internet Explorer 7 or higher on Ubuntu 8.04? | 20:00 |
| guntbert | sp0: please paste the exact command you entered | 20:00 |
| mhall119|work | kubanc: ies4linux runs 5.5, 6 and a beta of 7 | 20:00 |
| mhall119|work | bubt that's it | 20:00 |
| spO | sudo chsh -s /bin/bash root Typed in password chsh: PAM authentication failed | 20:00 |
| sqwertle | kubanc: you could use wine to do it most likely. | 20:00 |
| sixofour | hello | 20:01 |
| Nor8 | #ubuntu-ru | 20:01 |
| guntbert | sp0: you shouldn't need root at the end - try without -s ... too to get into interactive mode | 20:01 |
| guntbert | sp0 what password did you type in? | 20:02 |
| spO | guntbert, the password of the user... root does not have a password right... I so sudo chsh and password and it says PAM authentication failed | 20:02 |
| JULinuxUser | How do I get a list of the packages installed on my computer? | 20:03 |
| JULinuxUser | I think I need to get them from apt-get somehow | 20:03 |
| guntbert | sp0: strange - did you change you hostname recently? | 20:03 |
| guntbert | JULinuxUser: dpkg -l | 20:03 |
| sixofour | JULinuxUser: gnome? | 20:04 |
| sixofour | or that | 20:04 |
| spO | guntbert, i was messing with chsh and now root has a wrong shell/no shell | 20:04 |
| JULinuxUser | ok guntbert how do I get the output into a text file? | 20:04 |
| spO | and i cannot change it back | 20:04 |
| pavelz | gah, wish I had vlc 0.82 , at least it worked | 20:04 |
| Losha | spO: do it the old-fashioned way. Edit /etc/passwd and change the last field on the first line. Er, Why do you need to set root's shell to /bin/bash. It should have come like that out of the box... | 20:04 |
| guntbert | JULinuxUser: dpkg -l > mypackages | 20:05 |
| spO | editing /etc/passwd doe snot work: sudo -i sudo: shell: command not found | 20:05 |
| === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek | ||
| Losha | spO: that's because you changed root's shell. Does 'sudo bash' work? | 20:06 |
| murlidhar | spO: do you want to set the root password ? | 20:06 |
| guntbert | sp0: boot into the recovery system | 20:06 |
| === sshc_ is now known as sshc | ||
| spO | yeah that works | 20:07 |
| spO | thanks | 20:07 |
| Losha | spO: lucky, or you'd have to do what guntbert said.... | 20:07 |
| === jon is now known as Guest38854 | ||
| guntbert | Losha: good call - thx for spotting it | 20:08 |
| Guest38854 | i've just installed win7 and i would aprreciate it if someone could guide me how to edit grub because im booting ubuntu from instalation disc right now | 20:08 |
| guntbert | Guest38854: what version of grub? grub or grub2? | 20:09 |
| arand | Guest38854: So you just need to reinstall grub after widnows took over? | 20:09 |
| === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek | ||
| spO | as root, I do chsh and it gives me chsh: PAM authentication failed after I type in a password | 20:10 |
| Guest38854 | uhm i have ubuntu 9 04 | 20:10 |
| arand | !grub | Guest38854 | 20:10 |
| ubottu | Guest38854: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 20:10 |
| Guest38854 | i need to have my grub back | 20:10 |
| arand | Guest38854: First link there should help, and you are on a 9.04 liveCD right? | 20:11 |
| Guest38854 | yes i am | 20:11 |
| murlidhar | Guest38854: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub | 20:11 |
| Losha | spO: Do it the old-fashioned way. Edit /etc/passwd and change the last field on the line... | 20:11 |
| Hathadar | How may I setup a batch job on a windows machine to start/stop ubuntu daemons without needing to type a password? | 20:11 |
| kazaa_lite | hi all | 20:11 |
| mhall119|work | Hathadar: public key authentication on ssh | 20:12 |
| Hathadar | mhall119|work: please elaborate | 20:12 |
| mhall119|work | then a script that will ssh to the Ubuntu box and run the appropriate commands | 20:12 |
| mhall119|work | though that will require root login... | 20:12 |
| jugglerbry | hi all. could someone point me in the right direction with regards to distributing ubuntu on PCs ? | 20:12 |
| llutz | Hathadar: using plink (putty) with passwordless ssh-key and root "forced-commands-only" at linux side | 20:12 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: what kind of help do you need? | 20:12 |
| guntbert | !automate | jugglerbry | 20:12 |
| ubottu | jugglerbry: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning | 20:12 |
| Hathadar | llutz: i'll look into that | 20:13 |
| kazaa_lite | when i do ssh to my ubuntu machine and use vi and i am in insertion mode, it displays B when i press down arrow key.... similarly it add a,u,d for up, left anf right arrow keys | 20:13 |
| kazaa_lite | how to get rid of this thing? | 20:13 |
| miliki | hola | 20:13 |
| blakkheim | kazaa_lite: install vim, make a bash alias for vi=vim | 20:13 |
| xangua | !hi | miliki | 20:13 |
| ubottu | miliki: 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! | 20:13 |
| mhall119|work | kazaa_lite: that doesn't sound like vi keybindings | 20:13 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119|work, just need to check i'm ok with an idea i have in mind with regards to gettingmachines then donating them with ubuntu on them | 20:13 |
| === sfan786 is now known as team6and7 | ||
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: you asking about legal or technical issues? | 20:13 |
| miliki | hola | 20:14 |
| Losha | kazaa_lite: it's normal. In insertion mode, arrow keys have no meaning.... | 20:14 |
| miliki | capullos | 20:14 |
| kazaa_lite | Losha: you are wrong.... see what others suggested | 20:14 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119|work legal mainly, but i'm fairly new to ubuntu myself, so i'm also looking for advice with regards to technical, but mainly legal to start with | 20:14 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: legally you're fine shipping a default installation | 20:15 |
| mhall119|work | technically, starting in 9.10 or so, there is an OEM install option that is very nice for what you're doing | 20:15 |
| === pipegeek1 is now known as pipegeek | ||
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: jump into #qimo if you want, I run a charity that does exactly this | 20:15 |
| Losha | kazaa_lite: it does happen. Good luck with that... | 20:15 |
| erik__ | mhall119|work, It's called OEM install? | 20:16 |
| kazaa_lite | blakkheim: vim installed, now how to make its bash alias for vi=vim? | 20:16 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119|work, thats good to know. from my own experience, hardly anything has gone wrong with my installation, but i'm a little wary should anything go wrong with a machine i donate. any ideas ? | 20:16 |
| mhall119|work | erik__: yes, press F4 I think, at the CD boot menu | 20:16 |
| murlidhar | yes erik__ | 20:16 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: the biggest problem is that with donated hardware, it's usually alraedy old | 20:16 |
| erik__ | Ah never use the CD.. | 20:16 |
| blakkheim | kazaa_lite: echo "alias vi='vim'" >> ~/.bashrc | 20:16 |
| blakkheim | kazaa_lite: then logout/in | 20:17 |
| mhall119|work | and so more prone to hardware failure from the start | 20:17 |
| mhall119|work | also, you may not get hardware that can run Compiz | 20:17 |
| kazaa_lite | blakkheim: love you.... big sloppy kiss for you(k) | 20:17 |
| malifal | kazaa_lite: or try update-alternatives --config vi | 20:17 |
| Losha | mhall119|work: I'd like to contribute to such a charity. Does it have local chapters? | 20:17 |
| llutz | kazaa_lite: no logout needed, just ". ~/.bashrc" | 20:18 |
| soreau | and everyone knows, if it caint run compiz, it aint worth jack ;) | 20:18 |
| mhall119|work | Losha: go to http://www.growingupfree.org and look at the wiki | 20:18 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119: the machines will all be p4 2.8 with 512Mb RAM minimum, and i'll be testing them to ensure everything works ok, so would i be right in thinking, provided theyre working ok when i hand them over, they should be ok ? | 20:18 |
| murlidhar | haha blakkheim :) someone sure likes you a lot | 20:18 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: If you would add yourself ot the above mentioned Wiki, I'd appreciate that too | 20:18 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: that's been my experience, yes | 20:18 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: you'll want to let the recipeints know that it's not Windows | 20:19 |
| jugglerbry | mahall119|work, excellent, thanks for the advice. what's the wiki about ? | 20:19 |
| Losha | mhall119|work: excellent, thanks.... | 20:19 |
| mhall119|work | I like to include a digital copy of the Ubuntu Pocket Guide | 20:19 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: my list of charities that give out computers with open source software on them | 20:19 |
| murlidhar | jugglerbry: my machine is p4 1.5Ghz 512 ddr1 :) it works good. | 20:19 |
| erik__ | murlidhar, you are a Brave soul. I wouldn't use Ubuntu on a machine with less than 1.5GB. | 20:20 |
| jugglerbry | mahall119|work, ok will take a look. i was also thinking of including the pocket guide too. found that a huge help when i started out. | 20:20 |
| r3m | Hi, I've modprobe em28xx and add my user into the video group but i still dont have /dev/video video0 or even 1. | 20:20 |

| thomas_ | hello | 20:20 |
| murlidhar | erik__: no gnome or kde. | 20:20 |
| murlidhar | erik__: works pretty fast too | 20:21 |
| murlidhar | erik__: i mean snappy. | 20:21 |
| Losha | erik__: 640K should be enough for anybody.... | 20:21 |
| jugglerbry | mahall119|work, i'm hoping to be able to aquire the machines, install ubuntu (hopefully lucid) and donate them to local schools and charities. nothing is sorted out as yet, i've got a few months to sort it all, but fingers crossed. | 20:21 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: feel free to ask any questions you have while doing that | 20:22 |
| mhall119|work | like I said, I'm in #qimo if you have any questions | 20:22 |

| Mad_Dud | murlidhar i need to record demo which requires to inform viewer about keys that i use on desktop | 20:24 |

| jugglerbry | mahall119|work, main issue at the moment is work. i work for the NHS in the uk, and the machines are doctors surgery machines which are being replaced with new ones. the issue is convincing the bosses i have that everything will be above board and not interfere with work. once i get the ok from them i'm hoping it'll be all systems go, but i also have to figure out what to do with the equipment that's no good | 20:24 |
| murlidhar | erik__: well i have been using ubuntu since feisty fawn so i am used to openbox...with a bunch of xfce applications. | 20:24 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: I'll also set you up with a blog and wiki page on growingupfree.org until you get a website of your own up and running | 20:24 |

| jugglerbry | mhall119|work, basically there's a WEEE (waste electronic equipment something or other) which basically means scrap computers and other electronic equipment (TVs, Fridges etc), has to be disposed of in a responsible manner, ie recycled. most of the insides i might be able to use as spare, but the rest i might have a problem with | 20:28 |

| ZykoticK9 | hareldvd, have you already tried using jscal to calibrate your joystick? "jscal -c /dev/input/js0" -- did this NOT work? Don't know how to manually set a dead zone, sorry. Best of luck. | 20:30 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: cool, and good luck, it's very rewarding | 20:30 |
| laron | I'd like to put an smb bookmark on the desktop of every new user. is there a good way to do this? | 20:30 |
| Guest38854 | first i type mound tail and i get : /dev/sda1 on /media/disk-2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=409 | 20:30 |
| mhall119|work | laron: /etc/skel is where new user /home/$user directories are based off | 20:31 |
| hareldvd | ZykoticK9, yep, still the Z axis (3rd) gives me much trouble. I want it to provide zero on a wider range of output values. | 20:31 |
| mhall119|work | laron: so put it in /etc/skel/Desktop/ should work | 20:31 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119|work, really hope i can convince the bosses to give me the go ahead. keep an eye on my website also, as no doubt i'll have a link on there when i get up and running. www.someink-different.com | 20:31 |
| jugglerbry | bye all, and thanks again | 20:32 |
| mhall119|work | jugglerbry: get together with the Ubuntu UK LoCo, they can offer some better local help | 20:32 |
| jugglerbry | mhall119|work, will pop in there now before i close down. thanks | 20:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | hareldvd, is the game you're using the joystick with after jscal using SDL input? If it is, by default the jscal calibration will NOT actually be working! | 20:32 |
| hareldvd | ZykoticK9, even though I don't know what SDL means, I know for sure the jscal command works fine. I use flightgear and they don't seem to know much about jscal. | 20:34 |
| === robert_ is now known as Guest33919 | ||
| === ChrisSoyars is now known as afk|ChrisSoyars | ||
| mhall119|work | hareldvd: SDL is a simple game library | 20:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | hareldvd, lets assume you can start flightgear with the terminal command "flightgear" try running "export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 && flightgear" and see if it works any better - this is AFTER running jscal of course | 20:35 |
| jhonnyboy | Hello everyone I am having problems with my wifi. It lags out and sometimes doesn't even load pages | 20:36 |
| jhonnyboy | I have tried ndiswrapper but yet have had no luck. | 20:36 |
| jhonnyboy | Any recommendations | 20:36 |
| mhall119|work | jhonnyboy: what chipset? | 20:36 |
| volkan | hi there | 20:36 |
| Hezy | hi, anyone here as experience with USB headphones on Ubuntu? I bought one today, and it doesn't seem to work | 20:36 |
| erUSUL | ZykoticK9: the export and && are not needed in the command line you gave :) | 20:36 |
| rweait | where is a good place to find out about potential problems with mvsas driver in 2.6.32 on lucid? | 20:36 |
| hareldvd | ZykoticK9, I wrote a perl script wrapper to flightgear, It will take me a moment to make the modification. Thanks. I'll call you again once I try the change. | 20:37 |
| erUSUL | rweait: launchpad ? search bugs. also ask in #ubuntu+1 for lucid stuff | 20:37 |
| rweait | erUSUL: thank you | 20:37 |
| volkan | i have a problem with my nvidia G105 M video card there s no supported driver for linux right now am i right anyone have a solution | 20:37 |
| jhonnyboy | When I load the windows drivers thru ndiswrapper my wireless becomes completely unavailabe | 20:38 |
| jhonnyboy | unavailable | 20:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | erUSUL, are you sure? jscal has in Karmic has no effect if i don't run that export part - took a long time to find out why SDL wasn't recognizing jscal calibration and the above command finally resolved it. | 20:38 |
| chi_ | hey, my computer is located at a university, but i want to host a webpage from the computer... how to I access the computer even thou i does not have a own IP, only a port??????? | 20:38 |
| erUSUL | ZykoticK9: i mean that you do not need the export if you declare the variable in the same line as you launch the program | 20:38 |
| erUSUL | ZykoticK9: just this « SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 flightgear » is enough | 20:39 |
| guntbert | chi_: thats a question for ##networking - but they will tell you "not possible" | 20:39 |
| erUSUL | ZykoticK9: is alittle bit nitpicking i know ... :) | 20:39 |
| zjblabs_ | does ubuntu have xgl packages in the most recent distribution version? | 20:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | erUSUL, so "SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/js0 flightgear" should work the same then. Thanks, I'll try that. | 20:40 |
| chi_ | guntbert: dynamic IP solution? or something? | 20:40 |
| guntbert | chi_: I say: not possible - but please ask yourself in ##networking | 20:41 |
| chi_ | guntbert: sorry, not quite understood it, but now it makes sense... :;D | 20:41 |

| guntbert | charlieruns: what version? | 21:13 |
| Hathadar | Clients OS is windows 7 | 21:13 |
| jrib | Hathadar: use something like winscp to copy your public key, then just rename it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys (I presume this is a proper ssh key) | 21:14 |

| myownserver | Does anyone here know of a CLI ISO program? | 21:16 |
| Death__ | i am getting Grub 17 error | 21:16 |
| Death__ | i dont know why | 21:16 |
| jrib | myownserver: to burn you mean? | 21:16 |
| myownserver | * For creating ISO's from files or directories. | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: that page says exactly what i just said in the 2.3 section | 21:17 |
| funkiwan | erUSUL: it seems to be saying to both not raid swap (first section) and then says, "Another reason to use RAID for swap..." | 21:17 |
| mkquist | Death__: did you change anything? | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: it clearly says « There's no reason to use RAID for swap performance reasons. The kernel itself can stripe swapping on several devices, if you just give them the same priority in the /etc/fstab file. » | 21:17 |
| mkquist | Death__: usually means it doesnt know where to find the o/s | 21:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | myownserver, mkisofs | 21:17 |
| myownserver | jrib, I'm wanting to be able to call it from a script and generate an ISO that can then be downloaded or used to burn a disk of the files. | 21:17 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: which is what i just said too :) | 21:18 |
| funkiwan | erUSUL: right, i agree. it's the 2nd part that confuses me. | 21:18 |
| Death__ | Yes, someone helped me through installing lastnight | 21:18 |
| mkquist | Death__: did you already have an install working? | 21:18 |
| Death__ | no | 21:18 |
| mkquist | Death__: never? | 21:18 |
| Death__ | never | 21:18 |
| mkquist | trying to dualboot? | 21:18 |
| Death__ | yes | 21:19 |
| bil651 | i'm trying to run NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.25-pkg1.run. it run, but a can run nvidia_xconfig. any ideas?? | 21:19 |
| mkquist | Death__: windows? | 21:19 |
| myownserver | ZykoticK9, Thank you, this looks like what I'm looking for if I can find docs on using it. | 21:19 |

| erUSUL | funkiwan: the discusion about swapping on rai1 for "high availability" .... | 21:19 |
| jrib | myownserver: man page :) | 21:19 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: ok; you ahve to choose performance or "high availability" then | 21:19 |
| mkquist | Death__: so you did a fresh install of ubuntu last night? but it doesnt boot to ubuntu? | 21:19 |
| Death__ | correct | 21:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | myownserver, mkisofs has been renamed to genisoimage -- try "man genisoimage" | 21:20 |
| Death__ | can i pm you? | 21:20 |
| mkquist | Death__: sure | 21:20 |
| funkiwan | erUSUL: ah, i see. that was the bit that was confusing me. i wonder what the differenece is w/r/t performance | 21:20 |
| Losha | Purpley: when you type sudo cd Media, you actually start a completely new sub-shell, do the cd in the subshell, then the sub-shell exits. Stuff you do in a subshell generally doesn't affect the main shell. With something like ls, you don't see the difference, because running ls gives the same result wherever you run it from. Sorry it's hard to explain.... | 21:20 |
| djzn | hi, i am writing a ridiculous program in C, that needs to beep in the system or speaker... looks like the \a parameter is not beeping in ubuntu, am I missing something? how to make it beep | 21:20 |
| jrib | djzn: try xset b whatever (see man page) | 21:21 |
| jrib | djzn: also make sure your shell allows it | 21:21 |
| djzn | jrib: but will it work with C | 21:21 |
| spectergris | does any one know how to get a dazzle dvc 100 to work on ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| djzn | the result must be a c little program | 21:21 |
| jrib | djzn: try and see. Start by using echo | 21:21 |
| djzn | jrib: bash commands will be ignored by c | 21:22 |
| Purpley | Losha, So how do I cd into directories in sudo | 21:22 |
| Hathadar | Still having trouble with ssh. my plink client gives me this error: | 21:22 |
| Hathadar | Connection abandoned. | 21:22 |
| Hathadar | Disconnected: User aborted at host key verification | 21:22 |
| jrib | djzn: erm. I'm saying forget about C for now. Make sure you can get echo to produce a beep first. | 21:22 |
| Losha | djzn: try outputting ctrl-G using putchar... | 21:22 |
| malifal | Purpley: sudo -i | 21:22 |
| myownserver | ZykoticK9, Thank you very much. I think this will work. | 21:22 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: the same difference between raid1 vs raid0 in normal data... you will writte/read faster from raid 0 (for being able to use double the bandwith) raid 1 writtes are slower (two writtes) and reads are the same speed as raid0 (simplifying things). raid0 has double the chance of failure of a single disk and raid 1 has much less chance | 21:22 |
| malifal | Purpley: that will make you root | 21:23 |
| djzn | Losha: when I control-G in the terminal, i hear nothing... and i was supposed to hear something, right | 21:23 |
| kothz | Is there a different channel for help with gnome/compiz on ubuntu netbook remix? | 21:23 |

| Losha | Purpley: well, you're really into the realm of shell programming at this point, so the answer depends on what exactly your're trying to do... | 21:25 |
| red | 22 gets you a lot of hammering and bruteforcing | 21:25 |
| djzn | losha: xset b on , i turned on, and didnt hear a beep... something related to pulseaudio? | 21:25 |

| Ten-Eight | good afternoon all | 21:25 |
| ownlife | jdrib: "You may also want to consider changing the Ports directive. By default SSH runs over TCP/IP port 22, which means that any malware bot autoscanning port 22 can target it." | 21:25 |
| funkiwan | erUSUL: firstly, thanks for answering. i'm clear on the difference between raid1 and raid0. what i'm not so clear on is how much swap performance really matters. i like the idea of high availability (my main raid1 partition is rebuilding as i type) so i'm inclined to just run swap as raid1 as well, but a) i'm wondering how much i'll slow down my machine in doing that. | 21:25 |

Any ideas? | 21:26 |
| djzn | losha: ok, i had turned off the ubuntu sounds, now I hear it by pressing CTRL-G | 21:26 |
| djzn | losha: but is there a way to use the hardware buzzer | 21:26 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: depends on your workloads and in the ram your machine has. with today's memory sizes system rarely swap so you wont notice one way or the other | 21:26 |

| OldMerovingian | Hello everyone. I recently installed 10.04 alpha 3 and all seems to work well, but I cant seem to get some things to work right. Is there a way to install 9.10 but use the exact same kernel? I need 2.6.32 for my ati card. | 21:27 |
| seanbrystone2 | ty ikonia | 21:27 |
| erUSUL | !lucid | OldMerovingian | 21:27 |
| ubottu | OldMerovingian: 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 | 21:27 |
| jrib | OldMerovingian: maybe the kernel team's ppa | 21:27 |
| Purpley | Losha, Nothing :/ Just want to access a folder created by sudo | 21:28 |
| jrib | Purpley: why? | 21:28 |
| needles | hey! Does anyone know where I can find the ubuntu EULA? | 21:28 |
| Ten-Eight | have a question regarding UNR 9.10 on a usb stick using imagewriter from 8.04. | 21:28 |
| erUSUL | OldMerovingian: if it is for radeon driver use the xorg edgers or stable ppa that has new kernels with the corresponding X stack | 21:28 |
| Azelphur | !gpl | needles | 21:28 |
| ubottu | needles: gpl is the GNU General Public License. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html | 21:28 |
| funkiwan | erUSUL: it's an older machine, maxed out at 2GB of ram. i do java dev work, lots of builds hitting the disk, and apps requiring lots of ram, often hitting swap, so it is a concern. | 21:28 |
| Vianocturna | ?ot > ViaNocturna | 21:28 |
| djzn | how do i load pcspkr | 21:28 |
| Losha | Purpley: you can do sudo -i and get a root shell, then type as usual. It's considered bad practice though, too easy to make serious mistakes.... | 21:29 |
| Vianocturna | !ot > ViaNocturna | 21:29 |
| ubottu | Vianocturna, please see my private message | 21:29 |
| jrib | djzn: modprobe pcspkr | 21:29 |
| Purpley | jrib, I created it being stupid and did sudo mkdir, I dont really want to change permissions on it I just want to know a simple way | 21:29 |
| OldMerovingian | erUSUL: I did that before, but the generic kernel I used ate my battery life like crazy and made my wireless card take forever to connect | 21:29 |
| needles | got it.. so the ubuntu core is GPL and the individual packages are under their own licences? | 21:29 |
| Azelphur | needles: yes, exactly | 21:29 |
| Azelphur | needles: you'll find the majority of packages are GPL too, though. | 21:29 |
| jrib | Purpley: you would « sudo -i », do what you need and exit. But really I don't see why you would need to do any of this. You should tell us what you are trying to accomplish as there is likely a better way | 21:30 |
| erUSUL | funkiwan: then it is up to you to decide i'm afraid. you know the pross an cons... but dunno disk (raid or not raid) is so slow compared to ram that maybe the extra speed is not really that noticiable | 21:30 |
| djzn | how to send a signal to pcspkr | 21:30 |
| i0n99 | does the live cd have sound? | 21:30 |
| jrib | djzn: how to ask a question that makes sense? | 21:30 |
| needles | what I'm trying to do is create an ubuntu appliance with some proprietary code in it (but not linked to anything, just added along side). That way all the stuff is configured right in the vm. If I do that, then does my code then become GPL? | 21:30 |

| Purpley | Something that isn't as dangerous as sudo -i | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | archboxman: the new card requires a massive and closed source binary driver that takes ages to load up ???? | 21:36 |

| dyek | Hi! Does Ubuntu 9.10 init script create a login prompt on the console? If not, how can I enable it? (I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 as Xen DomU and before everything is working, it helps to have a console login prompt.) | 21:37 |
| jrib | dyek: should | 21:37 |
| kraetzja | dyek, what you probably need to do is setup virtual terminals | 21:38 |
| ownlife | i0n99: Well. kraetzja: I made a good password though! My algorithm is complicated and random! | 21:38 |
| kraetzja | technically, absolutely no password is safe from brute forcing | 21:39 |
| kraetzja | that being said, it takes a pretty powerful machine to crack a password in realistic time | 21:39 |
| seanbrystone | How do I get Nautilus to open something in vim? the Open With context menus work for gvim, but not vim | 21:39 |
| jrib | kraetzja: my password has infinitely many characters in it | 21:39 |
| katesmith | okay how do I access my windows vista files from ubuntu linux? i still having problems and i cant figure that part out? | 21:39 |
| kraetzja | john-michael1, ls | grep x | 21:39 |
| faultline | Can anyone tell me how to null the password for kwallet? | 21:39 |
| faultline | I am tired of typing it in every time I boot up | 21:39 |
| erUSUL | dyek: they do the standar VT1-6 and X on VT7 | 21:39 |
| jrib | seanbrystone: you would need to open a terminal that ran vim inside | 21:39 |
| kraetzja | katesmith, you need ntfs support in your kernel, or loaded via module, and then you mount it to an existing directory (/mnt/windows) | 21:40 |
| erUSUL | faultline: maybe #kubuntu has more help for a kde user ? | 21:40 |
| seanbrystone | jrib, so i cant do it then? ok | 21:40 |
| seanbrystone | but i dont wanna use gvim | 21:40 |
| john-michael1 | kraetzja: wow, thanks. now if I want to delete those? | 21:40 |
| dyek | kraetzja: Thanks! How can I set up VT? I think it used to be the inittab, but I'm not sure with the new init mechanism. | 21:40 |
| jrib | seanbrystone: you can, just see gnome-terminal's options (you can run a command) | 21:40 |

| kop | where to add clocksource=hpet in /etc/default/grub ? | 21:41 |
| katesmith | kraetzja can i install ntfs support in my kernel , or loaded via module? | 21:42 |
| Samual | erUSUL, indeed well, meh wish I had an undo button ^_^ | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | kop: where you see "quiet splash" ---> "quiet splash clocksource=hpet" | 21:42 |
| kraetzja | katesmith, yup. go to /usr/src/linux, make menuconfig, get to file systems, see if you have support already or not, and in what form | 21:42 |
| sqwertle | Once ubuntu is installed is it possible for me to access logs of a failed boot attempt? | 21:42 |
| ikonia | whois Samual | 21:42 |
| kraetzja | if its already built as a module, you can just modprobe ntfs | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | kop: then run sudo update-grub | 21:42 |
| kraetzja | and you should be ok to mount | 21:42 |
| M0E_lnx | hi all, I have a problem trying to get cpu scaling to work | 21:43 |

| Samual | erUSUL, so do you know how to fix it then? Heh | 21:43 |
| M0E_lnx | I've been able to scale this cpu down in other distros | 21:43 |
| katesmith | Okay how would I go to /usr/src/Linux? | 21:44 |
| katesmith | it sounds hard to do that | 21:44 |
| erUSUL | M0E_lnx: do you have the cpufreq applet in the panel ? | 21:44 |
| kop | erUSUL, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"clocksource=hpet | 21:44 |
| M0E_lnx | erUSUL: yes I do | 21:44 |
| erUSUL | kop: and close the " | 21:44 |
| erUSUL | M0E_lnx: click on it; which governor are you using ? ondemand? | 21:44 |
| verb3k | erUSUL, thank you very much :) | 21:45 |
| kop | erUSUL, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash""clocksource=hpet " ? | 21:45 |
| archboxman | M0E_lnx: quit bring over windows terminlogy..... This is linux cpu scaling is a made up word and why would anyone want to slow down there system?? | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | kop: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clocksource=hpet" | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | kop: no as i just typed | 21:45 |
| kop | erUSUL, tnx much | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | verb3k: no problem | 21:45 |
| katesmith | kraetzja how would I go to /usr/src/Linux? i never did that before i am bad with computers? | 21:45 |
| M0E_lnx | archboxman: I only use this box as a net router, just idles 24/7 | 21:45 |
| M0E_lnx | it's running kind of hot | 21:45 |
| kop | erUSUL, syntax hates me :D | 21:46 |
| M0E_lnx | so, I want to slow it down | 21:46 |
| erUSUL | kop: :) | 21:46 |
| mhall119|work | archboxman: CPU scaling is important for power saving | 21:46 |
| erUSUL | M0E_lnx: so is ondemand or what? | 21:46 |
| M0E_lnx | erUSUL: yes | 21:46 |
| M0E_lnx | I can set it to whatever I want, | 21:46 |
| M0E_lnx | but the freq doesn't change | 21:46 |

| sebsebseb | jongbergs: Well there may be a graphics card driver available in system > administration > hardware drivers if so by installing it there will probably be more resolutions available | 22:29 |
| mib_mib | malifal: returns nothing, i guess updatedb isn't installed either | 22:29 |
| mib_mib | malifal: do i need to apt-get locate? | 22:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | infecto, that seems to be working!? | 22:30 |
| infecto | ZykoticK9: so, why its used 80% cpu? :) | 22:30 |
| erUSUL | sine^: pkill processname | 22:30 |
| maco | mib_mib: locate should be set up as using mlocate as its alternative and updatedb should be using updatedb.mlocate. if you dont have those, install mlocate | 22:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | infecto, personally I notice able to 10% cpu drop betwen vdpau and opengl - that's it. Not sure why it's the same on your system. Sorry man, I have no ideas for ya. Best of luck. | 22:31 |
| malifal | mib_mib: mine is part of mlocate, /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate | 22:31 |

| ubottu | jongbergs: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:33 |
| mib_mib | malifal: so i should change my updatedb symlink now from /etc/alternatives/updatedb to /usr/bin/updatedb.mlocate right? | 22:33 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: These all assume that I have access to Ubuntu at all, I can't boot whatsoever, but I believe that this could be a video issue. | 22:34 |

| malifal | mib_mib: it lets you choose an alternative for similar apps like which mail server to use or ftp server by default | 22:36 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: It shows an underscore flashing in the upper left hand corner for a few moments then goes entirely black. | 22:37 |

| malifal | mib_mib: locate should now be a sym link to mlocate, that's the whole idea of update-alternatives | 22:38 |
| Linux0000 | Does anyone know how to make 10.04 create and use a xorg.conf file? | 22:38 |
| mib_mib | malifal: ah okay yeah, so /usr/bin/locate is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/locate which is a symlink to /usr/bin/mlocate | 22:38 |

| malifal | goomba: program & | 22:41 |
| kerebrus | mib_mib I like it, havent had any real problems with it | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | goomba: use « nohup command & » or the disown built in. also you can use GNU screen | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: anything else? | 22:41 |
| erUSUL | !screen | goomba | 22:41 |
| ubottu | goomba: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 22:41 |
| goomba | ah that nohup worked erUSUL thanks | 22:42 |

| hsunda3 | Purpley: If you mean the directory is not being copied, I think you need to provide an option to rsync recursively, -r or something | 22:44 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: so again you are in a black screen with blinking cursosr ? :/ | 22:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ok today I fiddled with my webcam and got the audio to record. Somehow I didnt have the right input selected for recording before. Now I just need something that can edit ogv video that cheese records. I tried kdenlive and avidemux in my 9.04 installation. Kden has no audio and avidemux fails to load the file. Any others? | 22:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, short answer -- Ubuntu doesn't update versions, unless there is a security fix -- use a PPA or backports if you want to upgrade programs | 22:44 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: Well the blinking cursor is only for a few moments, the black screen is without such cursor, but yes. | 22:45 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | hsunda3: You can always download the newest firefox from the mozilla site. | 22:47 |
| sqwertle | urUSUL: have access to the BIOS settings, I'm not even sure how to deal with the MTRR thing. | 22:47 |
| hsunda3 | LinuxGuy2009: The last time I tried that, first, none of the plugins worked, second, noobody was able to provide any instructions on how to change the default browser (clicking on links anywhere would still make it open in the old Firefox) .. apparently "download from website and install" is a Windows way of doing things, not Ubuntu | 22:48 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: neither do I. there a couple of kernel parameters related but it will just blindly try them ... | 22:48 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | hsunda3: No actually its just a matter of end user learning the tools. | 22:48 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: Cool, thanks for the link .. the link says "Firefox 3.6 stable" .. what does stable mean? | 22:49 |

| lopeze | Hey. Before Karmic was released the sound option allowed one to choose Ogg, ALSA, and other stuff. Now I'm problems with programs conflciting. How can I set karmic to use primarily ALSA? | 22:56 |
| nissl | flashplugin-installer installed? | 22:56 |
| kerebrus | duclam ok you might need to lower the resolution on the line I added | 22:56 |
| ZykoticK9 | t3chkommie, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working | 22:57 |
| t3chkommie | ya i can play flahs just fin.. but my buttons dont work. | 22:57 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: Are you still there? I followed your instructions, and all I have now is a "Special transitional package for firefox 3.6" but none of the real stuff .. what do I do after following the instructions on the link you sent? | 22:57 |
| svoden | trying to save etc/default/grub says i need owner permissions, how do i get? | 22:57 |
| t3chkommie | zykoticK0: wil that work for 64 bit systems? | 22:57 |
| iceroot | !sudo | svoden | 22:57 |
| ubottu | svoden: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 22:57 |
| ZykoticK9 | t3chkommie, yes | 22:58 |
| t3chkommie | ok thanks! | 22:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, not sure man... I can try in a VM if you'd like. | 22:58 |
| sparky_ | hi | 22:59 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: oh wait I think I need to do a apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade following that | 22:59 |
| sparky_ | How do I install AIM? | 22:59 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: 1366:768 | 22:59 |
| nissl | which irc client is better than xchat? this is so wwuuah | 22:59 |
| nissl | spark?try pidgin | 22:59 |
| nissl | narf | 22:59 |
| hsunda3 | nissl: if you are bold enough, you can try irssi :) | 22:59 |
| iceroot | nissl: irssi | 22:59 |
| nissl | hehe thanks | 23:00 |
| nissl | ill try | 23:00 |
| goomba | i <3 konversation | 23:00 |
| * erUSUL well irssi is arguabily uglier than xchat .... we who use it do not do it for its beauty though | 23:00 | |
| iceroot | nissl: http://geek.j2solutions.net/shots/irssi-theme.jpg | 23:00 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: Is it now? | 23:01 |
| iceroot | erUSUL: a cli is always looking better then a gui ;) | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: hold on chacking something | 23:01 |
| erUSUL | checking* | 23:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6 worked for me? | 23:01 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: and guess what, it lost the java plug in that it had earlier :( | 23:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, just reinstall your java plugin | 23:02 |

| dany_ | does anyone know how can I know if my ubuntu is 32 or 64 bits? | 23:03 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: how do I do that? dpkg-reconfigure sun-java6-plugin doesn't work | 23:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | dany_, uname -m | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | dany_: uname -m | 23:03 |
| nissl | re | 23:03 |
| dany_ | i686 | 23:03 |
| dany_ | what means? | 23:03 |
| sqwertle | should this be in place of quiet splash? | 23:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | dany_, that's 32 | 23:03 |
| dany_ | uhm got it | 23:03 |
| sqwertle | oh, excuse me | 23:03 |
| === claudio is now known as Guest30603 | ||

| erUSUL | sqwertle: try vga=ask | 23:04 |
| sandrew_ | Can somebody let me know where transmission saves torrent files (version 1.06). Got a full HD, so I will need to relocate them. | 23:04 |
| iceroot | dany_: dpkg --print-architecture | 23:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, after installing ff3.6 how did you start it? | 23:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | dany_, that's really up to you! do you have more then 4G of memory? | 23:05 |
| nissl | thanks 4 this tip but i mean a gui irc like xchat ? | 23:05 |
| dany_ | ZykoticK9: no | 23:05 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: "Legacy 'ask' paramter no longer supported" | 23:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | dany_, then 32 is probably "easier" | 23:05 |

| Hathadar | I want to remote into my server from windows using plink and send a start/stop command to transmission-daemon. I have ssh setup. How do I force commands to run without using sudo? | 23:05 |
| dany_ | iceroot: it says i386 but with uname -m i686 asd | 23:05 |
| dany_ | ZykoticK9: Easier? | 23:05 |
| hsunda3 | ZykoticK9: I did what you did, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade. This removed my old firefox, and all references now point to new firefox. This new firefox doesn't have Java plugin. Do I report this as a bug or what? | 23:06 |
| emj | Hathadar, force commands? | 23:06 |
| iceroot | dany_: yes, dpkg is telling you what the software is, uname is telling you what the cpu can handle on that architecture | 23:06 |
| emj | Hathadar, never mind.. | 23:06 |
| sergio | bcm | 23:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | hsunda3, perhaps reverting back to old firefox is a better idea? don't think there is an integrated way to report bugs from PPA installs of programs. | 23:07 |
| Hathadar | well, maybe not that. I want to have the automated batch job execute commands that require root access without having to manually punch in my password. | 23:07 |
| t3chkommie | zykoticK0: THANKS for the link. sofar so good! i wouldnt have thought to look in the i386 folder on a x64 system. thanks | 23:07 |
| dany_ | iceroot: then i686 is 64bit? | 23:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | t3chkommie, glad to help | 23:07 |
| iceroot | dany_: no | 23:07 |
| iceroot | dany_: amd64 is 64bit | 23:07 |
| malifal | hsunda3: what version of ubuntu are you running | 23:07 |
| erUSUL | dany_: no ; i686 --< 32 bits || x86_64 --> 64 bits | 23:07 |
| iceroot | dany_: i686 is 32bit | 23:07 |
| hsunda3 | malifal: 9.10 | 23:07 |
| iceroot | dany_: and your system architecutre is i386 | 23:08 |
| Omerta | i thought i386 is 32 bits | 23:08 |
| * dany_ is now confused | 23:08 | |
| iceroot | Omerta: it is | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | Omerta: yes it is | 23:08 |
| hsunda3 | malifal: ZykoticK9 I removed and am now reinstalling sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugins package .. I am desperately praying firefox-3.6 now recognizes it atleast | 23:08 |
| Omerta | why use i686 then? | 23:08 |
| erUSUL | Omerta: i386 is more generic than i686 | 23:08 |
| Omerta | i see | 23:09 |
| malifal | hsunda3: dist-upgrade upgrades the whole distribution from one version to another AFAIK | 23:09 |
| sandrew_ | Hi guys. Could you please let me know where transmission saves torrent files (version 1.06) ? Cannot find anything at the location specified on the official forum(~/.config) | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | Omerta: a 486 is i386 compatible but it is not i686 compatible | 23:09 |
| hsunda3 | malifal: Well there was no way to get firefox-3.6 otherwise from the ppa .. it kept telling me "firefox-3.5 is being kept back" when I didn't want it to | 23:09 |
| iceroot | malifal: no | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | Omerta: i686 are Pentium Pro and later CPU's | 23:09 |
| dany_ | got it | 23:09 |
| Omerta | sandrew_ check your home folder, view hidden folders | 23:09 |
| dany_ | thanks guys | 23:09 |
| Omerta | they should be there | 23:09 |
| dany_ | :) | 23:10 |
| iceroot | malifal: dist-upgrade is doing the same as upgrade but its also changing the installation state/update-state) of dependencies see also man apt-get | 23:10 |
| Omerta | i didnt know that erusul | 23:10 |
| Omerta | i thought there were just 80x86 architecture and x64 arc. | 23:11 |
| sandrew_ | Omerta: checked, and found only .gtk files under ~/.transmission | 23:11 |
| andruk | is there a way to get qemu-kvm and virtualbox running at the same time without running into "VMS" errors? | 23:12 |
| Omerta | sandrew i dont know then but i recommend you to use deluge :) | 23:12 |
| kerebrus | duclam still having the problem? | 23:13 |
| iceroot | Omerta: 8086, 8186, 8286, 8386, 8486, 8586, 8686 so i686 is 8686 and i386 is 8386 | 23:13 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: google does not want to help me ... sorry i duno what else to do | 23:14 |
| duclam | kerebrus => the same problem occurs, i have to change the driver part to "nv" to get back here | 23:14 |
| redflag | hello i require help | 23:14 |
| sqwertle | erUSUL: I'm about at the point that it's just going to have to be a Windows machine. I'm suspecting that the graphics card is not compatible. | 23:14 |
| kerebrus | duclam what did you use to set the original driver? | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | sqwertle: sorry of not being of much help | 23:15 |
| sqwertle | its alright :) | 23:15 |
| Omerta | arent they all 32 bits, are there any difference between them? | 23:15 |
| duclam | kerebrus > "nvidia" <-- this is default after i install the driver | 23:15 |
| redflag | any one know how to fix this (redflag@redflag-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the list directory) | 23:15 |
| iceroot | Omerta: imo 8086 8186 are 16 bit | 23:16 |
| iceroot | Omerta: and maybe 8286 also 16bit | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | Omerta: instruction set differences if you run i686 code on a plain pentium (i586) you get illegal instruction if you ever hit an unsupported instruction | 23:16 |
| Omerta | ahh sorry you are right | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | iceroot: 286 is 16 bit yes | 23:16 |
| Omerta | i learned 8086 at school and it was 16 bits | 23:16 |

| redflag | i am aware of this | 23:19 |
| UnderSampled | andruk: who/what? | 23:19 |

| UnderSampled | so If I don't open synaptic, I'm fine? | 23:20 |

| Albania | ikonia Hallo | 23:35 |
| the920 | Hathadar, Ok, but what exactly is your question about this? Are you looking how to securely set this up so that you can only run remote commands from another PC and not interactively login? | 23:35 |
| iceroot | RuyRuyRuy: then create a network after that you can use ssh | 23:35 |
| ikonia | Albania: yes ? | 23:35 |
| kerebrus | Whats a good way to remove a partition from a hard drive? | 23:35 |
| the920 | kerebrus, fdisk | 23:35 |

| the920 | ThatsNotJack, Yes, but it's not the latest one. What device do you have? | 23:36 |
| ikonia | Albania: this channel is for ubuntu support only, please keep to that topic | 23:36 |
| Typos_King | man are girls? | 23:36 |

| ikonia | Albania: please don't use that language, | 23:37 |
| Typos_King | kerebrus: then use gparted :) | 23:37 |
| the920 | Hathadar, OK, so set the linux box to be force-command-only and use shared keys on both boxes. I'd recommend doing this on a non-root account with specific sudo privileges to the commands you want. | 23:38 |
| jords | ah crap. I had a whole lot more in my clipboard that I thought | 23:38 |
| jords | Did all that flood come through? | 23:38 |
| Albania | ikonia ok,, | 23:38 |
| Gran_Ger | Theres only a Windows version. I want a Linux version | 23:38 |
| the920 | ThatsNotJack, Hold on a moment, I have a page for you to read. You need to compile the latest version of the wacom driver for the bamboo (pen). | 23:38 |
| Albania | fuc k of | 23:38 |
| Hathadar | the920: how do I set specific sudo privileges? | 23:38 |

| jords | Hmm, on my hp 6730b laptop linux mint always unmutes the sound several times during startup. - 3 in fact. the last time it unmutes is just before the startup sound plays, so It usually plays the first few notes of the sound before I have been able to push the laptop's mute button again. (Which is not too great when i'm in the university library :)) - So can I get mint to always mute on startup and stop it unmuting? (I'm posting this here since I have also h | 23:39 |
| jords | ad the same issue with ubuntu in the past) | 23:39 |
| KaOSoFt | Do you know a way to forcefully umount a DVD disc? I'm (on PlayOnLinux) trying to install an application, and at certain point, it asks me to insert the second disc, but it won't let me unmount it because it is being used by itself. | 23:39 |
| the920 | Hathadar, Oh geeze. I'm out of practice on that one, but you can search for that on the web. | 23:39 |

| Hathadar | the920: ok, then just for my understanding. What does setting PermitRootLogin forced-commands-only do exactly? | 23:39 |
| the920 | ThatsNotJack, There's a step-by step on the ubuntu forums. Ubuntu just doesn't have the latest drivers. | 23:40 |
| ThatsNotJack | the920: Alright, I'll give that a shot. Thanks! | 23:40 |
| DasEi | KaOSoFt: open a terminal, try as root | 23:40 |
| the920 | Hathadar, Looks like it would only allow a remote command to be executed instead of starting an interractive session. | 23:40 |
| L65druid | how well is wifi working with ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| Hathadar | ok, thx. That is helpful | 23:40 |
| KaOSoFt | DasEi- Do you mean something like "sudo umount -f"? | 23:41 |
| duncanidaho1 | What is the best method and tool to capture video via firewire in Linux? I'd like to edit with cinelerra, but I seem to be unable to capture with it. I can only capture in kino when I run it with sudo. | 23:41 |

| DasEi | KaOSoFt: are you still in that dir ? | 23:41 |
| erUSUL | duncanidaho1: use kino to capture... make sure you are in the video group | 23:41 |

| DavidJHeinrich | the920, sure, my question is: for some reason, in Skype, for my webcam (Logitech C200), isn't showing up...yet, I can still chat wit | 23:42 |
| Typos_King | KaOSoFt: no, he's wondering if there's a processing actually using it, or keeping it mounted | 23:42 |
| DasEi | KaOSoFt: no, oyu shouldn't be in it | 23:42 |
| duncanidaho1 | @ erUSUL what video group? | 23:43 |

| erUSUL | duncanidaho1: sudo adduser $USER video | 23:43 |
| the920 | DavidJHeinrich, Does your cam work with cheese? | 23:43 |
| KaOSoFt | Well, whenever I try to unmount it, it says the device is busy, because wineserver is using it. | 23:43 |
| DavidJHeinrich | the920, what is cheese? | 23:43 |
| airtonix | !info cheese | DavidJHeinrich | 23:43 |
| serverduck | I have configured my pppoe with sudo pppoeconf if that helps | 23:43 |

| DavidJHeinrich | just installed cheese, lemme find out if works with it | 23:44 |
| KaOSoFt | Typos_King, DasEi- I have read some articles on Internet, but they suggest I kill the process, which obviously is not the answer in this case. | 23:44 |
| duncanidaho1 | erUSUL: oh ok, yep, I'm already a member | 23:44 |
| DasEi | KaOSoFt: what does the terminal window say btw which app are you trying to install ? | 23:44 |
| Typos_King | KaOSoFt: and if you don't stop the process from using the media/dvd, it won't be umounted | 23:44 |

| pepper_haze | hello | 23:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | KaOSoFt, you might try "wine eject" this has never really worked for me with multi-disk installs, i always need to start with "wine /media/cdrom/X.exe" and use the regular "eject" command | 23:45 |
| DasEi | Lasivian: there are some drivers can be installed in windows, but currently only ext2/3 , not 4 is fully supported | 23:45 |
