| red | VCoolio: it's shared with write permissions. I can access it from nautilus and write there without probllems | 00:01 |
| infecto | hexdump2: yes, no one. | 00:01 |
| SemiBz | shrewdlepop: yes, even albanian looks ok ( tough I'm not sure whether it's right or not ). | 00:01 |

| SemiBz | mikelifeguard: there's no right channel for this question so why not just ask it ? :) | 00:10 |

| hexdump2 | and everyone else | 00:11 |
| chelz | lojack: through apt-pinning magic you can install specific packages from repositories like that, but for upgrading either using the update manager or doing the dist-upgrade thing is recommended | 00:11 |
| erpo | lojack: Every time I've upgraded it has resulted in problems. I would recommend installing from scratch. | 00:12 |
| shakir | thank you | 00:12 |
| lojack | erpo: That's seems rather counterproductive. | 00:12 |
| hugo | Installing from scratch is easier | 00:12 |

| === ludovic_ is now known as Boulet | ||
| jrib | kocmodpom: I remember reading that's not the first thing | 00:52 |
| chelz | GodfatherofEire: your best bet would probably be to replace every reference to the actual binaries in shortcuts or methods you use to execute them with sh scripts that don't run if the correct kernel isn't in use | 00:52 |
| kocmodpom | jrib: already installed xgrafix | 00:52 |
| jrib | kocmodpom: you linked me to xoopic earlier | 00:53 |
| kocmodpom | jrib: correct, step one and two of installing xoopic is download and installation of xgrafix | 00:53 |
| GodfatherofEire1 | chelz, sorry, got disconnected. So is there a way to prevent that? | 00:54 |

| Prestidigitonium | but init is confusing me | 01:08 |
| Random832 | "init error" do you mean "could not find /sbin/init"? | 01:08 |
| elmakaru_22 | somebody can help me with avant window manager? | 01:09 |
| jrib | sambagirl: make it executable (chmod +x /path/to/file) and then execute it by typing the path to it (usually ./file.bin). The .bin can do anything, execute it at your own risk | 01:09 |
| Random832 | it generally means your root filesystem isn't really your root filesystem | 01:09 |

| Random832 | Prestidigitonium, probably - there are ways to deal with it, but they're all harder than reinstalling, particularly in the livecd era where you can get a chance to back up your data before installing | 01:13 |
| airtonix | sambagirl, one of which is using enter instead of spacebar? | 01:13 |
| Prestidigitonium | also, what usualy causes that error (so i can try to avoid it) during setup. im sure i used the same params | 01:14 |
| chelz | sambagirl: it is generally a good idea to use packages from the repositories when possible | 01:14 |
| sambagirl | ohh i am on irc via pidgin via vnc on a hardy system and not locally. | 01:14 |
| airtonix | sambagirl, by the way can't be that top secret if you're on a public irc channel :) | 01:14 |

| madjoe | What does this mean: bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~iguanamiyagi/pidgin-webkit/karmic-fixes/". ?? | 02:18 |
| kerin | lemongt, does it tell you what drive it's trying (failing) to access? | 02:18 |
| lemongt | ymm... /dev/sdb | 02:18 |
| lemongt | also "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | madjoe: That is not a branch, it's probably a directory that contains multiple branches . | 02:19 |
| madjoe | Jordan_U: got it | 02:19 |
| kerin | lemongt, it sounds to me as though for some reason the liveusb environment is losing track of the device it's mounted on in some strange, arcane fashion | 02:20 |
| kerin | lemongt, in light of which vivid's advice is good | 02:20 |
| ddrj | i used unetbootin-windows-408.exe to create a bootable USB drive along with the ubuntu 9.10 iso image. I get this error message when booting from bios: | 02:20 |
| ddrj | No bootable partition in table. | 02:20 |
| ddrj | any ideas? | 02:20 |
| kerin | lemongt, although their advice was good in the first place, mind :) | 02:20 |
| lemongt | so i'm looking for a non-graphical install? | 02:20 |
| vivid | no, when he said black screen i was thinking video failure, if its not finding his usb disk it wont help | 02:20 |
| lemongt | this will help? | 02:20 |
| kerin | vivid, my thought is that it has to find his usb disk to load the live environment | 02:21 |
| kerin | so it obviously works at SOME point | 02:21 |
| lemongt | it's BOOTING from the disk just fine. You think it's loosing it while giving me errors about it in what looks like linux style? | 02:21 |
| kerin | so using the alternate installer may "just work" for him. | 02:21 |
| karan | fuck u guyz never helped | 02:22 |
| karan | :( | 02:22 |
| karan | sorry | 02:22 |
| NewWorld | karan: What's the problem? | 02:22 |
| karan | nobbody will help me | 02:22 |
| vivid | his flash player is laggy | 02:22 |
| karan | yeah what vivid said | 02:22 |
| kerin | lemongt, while i haven't seen your exact situation before i have had the occasional system where some piece of the hardware just won't play right | 02:22 |
| kerin | lemongt, you feel comfortable doing a non-graphical install? | 02:23 |
| NewWorld | karan: There are 2 flash packages, did you alternate to see if one works better than the other? | 02:23 |
| lemongt | no idea | 02:23 |
| karan | um yeah | 02:23 |
| karan | i just | 02:23 |
| karan | installed the one form their site | 02:23 |
| karan | that said apt | 02:23 |
| lemongt | i've never touched linux or any variation of it before | 02:23 |
| karan | or somethin | 02:23 |
| vivid | lemongt, its the same as the graphical one practically | 02:23 |
| FloodBot1 | karan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:23 |
| karan | its still lagging | 02:23 |
| kerin | lemongt, it's basically the exact same process except without mouse control the dialogs look similar, even | 02:23 |
| kerin | (control *) | 02:24 |
| NewWorld | karan: Look in the repositories, and install the one there. It's distro specific so probably works better. Uninstall the one you got from the site first. | 02:24 |
| kerin | (...control. *) | 02:24 |
| NewWorld | karan: Maybe hardware can't handle it. Has it ever played smoothly on that machine? | 02:24 |
| karan | yes | 02:24 |
| Prestidigitonium | can someone please help me turn on eth0 for dhcp again? | 02:24 |
| karan | on windows 7 | 02:24 |
| karan | i could watch hd | 02:24 |
| kerin | karan: you said "hd" so i'm a little curious | 02:25 |
| kerin | is this machine a netbook? | 02:25 |
| karan | yeah utube hd 720p | 02:25 |
| polird | rebooting, wish me luck! :) | 02:25 |
| NewWorld | karan: Is it just flash? Or HD video files too? Then maybe your video drivers aren't set up properly. | 02:25 |
| ddrj | can you still use unetbootin if you don't have ANY OS on your computer (blank hard drive) | 02:25 |
| karan | um flash cuz everything geos slow | 02:25 |
| karan | n i see 1 frame per 10 seconds | 02:25 |
| NewWorld | ddrj: Where would you r un the program from then? | 02:25 |
| ddrj | no i mean | 02:26 |
| ddrj | on the target machine | 02:26 |
| ddrj | i would run the program on my laptop and create the usb drive | 02:26 |
| Prestidigitonium | hmm | 02:26 |
| ddrj | then take the usb drive to the target machine | 02:26 |
| NewWorld | karan: Like I said, install the flash package that is in the ubuntu repo | 02:26 |
| ddrj | and boot from there | 02:26 |
| NewWorld | ddrj: Yeah I did that before, works fine. | 02:26 |
| ddrj | ok good, i got a problem tho | 02:26 |
| karan | i did | 02:26 |
| vivid | Prestidigitonium, 'sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces' change static to dhcp, comment out the static ip lines, then 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' | 02:26 |
| kerin | karan: which version of ubuntu are you running? | 02:26 |
| ddrj | when i boot from USB drive, this is the error i get: | 02:27 |
| ddrj | No bootable partition in table. | 02:27 |
| karan | karmic | 02:27 |
| NewWorld | karan: You said you installed from the Adobe site :/ | 02:27 |
| karan | i tried both | 02:27 |
| happyface | why does my wifi card not show up in nm-applet unless I reinstall gnome-network-manager and reboot? | 02:27 |
| karan | ill reinstall from software center | 02:27 |
| ddrj | NewWorld: ever see that error when u boot from ur usb drive? "No bootable partition in table." | 02:27 |
| kerin | NewWorld, he doesn't need to uninstall if he installed from adobe i don't think | 02:27 |

| rumpsy | karan: don't use multiple lines | 02:29 |
| kerin | NewWorld, pretty sure the flash plugin is a single file + symlinks and the adobe version isn't in a package. installing the distro version will overwrite. | 02:29 |

| ddrj | using that unetbootin method | 02:39 |

| NewWorld | rumpsy: Can't you do that with Gparted? | 02:40 |
| Sattvic | @jordan - thanks! | 02:40 |
| rumpsy | NewWorld: tell that to ddrj | 02:41 |
| NewWorld | I didn't know he wanted to resize :s | 02:41 |

| ddrj | rumpsy: i don't have gparted on vista ;\\ | 02:41 |
| ddrj | NewWorld: yeah i formated it before writing to it | 02:41 |
| seanbrystone | chelz, ok ill give that a try thanks :) | 02:41 |
| chelz | seanbrystone: you can setup a bash alias for any line if you want also | 02:42 |
| NewWorld | ddrj: I'm really not sure then. You could try getting a disk authoring soft and making sure that that partition is set to active :/ | 02:42 |
| ddrj | ok | 02:42 |
| rumpsy | ddrj: you can resize or delete, or create a partition after booting into ubuntu | 02:42 |

| ddrj | this is the error rumpsy , one sec | 02:42 |

| seanbrystone | karan, 5 more days till the Lucid beta, ok ok i wont say anymore ill get yelled at , but anyways try lucid in 5 days :) *shutting up* | 02:53 |
| * NewWorld yells | 02:53 | |
| usser | karan, with all due respect if you're having trouble configuring ubuntu, i doubt you'll find bsd any friendlier | 02:53 |
| vivid | ^^ so true | 02:53 |
| karan | i guess | 02:53 |
| rumpsy | usser: yes you are exactly | 02:54 |
| karan | cuz | 02:54 |
| Nollog | Where's gloom? | 02:54 |
| sahal | firefox 3.0.18 keeps crashing before youtube videos load on ubuntu 8.04LTS | 02:54 |
| liKao | Has anybody gotten DVB-T to work, or should i wait for lucid too? | 02:54 |
| karan | i had this problem with mint linux too cuz it was ubuntu based | 02:54 |
| NewWorld | I don't think she has trouble configuiring it's just that Flash doesn't work on her machine. She/he used 2 distros before so it'll be fine imio | 02:54 |
| karan | ye its just flash | 02:55 |
| karan | n lol | 02:55 |
| karan | its not a she | 02:55 |
| karan | its pronounce | 02:55 |
| karan | dif | 02:55 |
| FloodBot1 | karan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:55 |
| lullabud | honestly, i think bsd has some really nifty tools that linux could use. | 02:55 |
| NewWorld | karan: Sounds a lot like karen sorry | 02:55 |
| madjoe | does anyone use Adium theme for Pidgin? | 02:55 |
| lullabud | networksetup and hdiutil come to mind... | 02:55 |
| tara_aja | jember | 02:55 |
| karan | not many nerdy linuc girls..cept for the nixipixel one | 02:56 |
| lullabud | karan: i'd stay away from solaris unless you want to dive into the gritty unix environment | 02:56 |
| hipitihop | erUSUL, thanks, installings cpufrequtils now | 02:56 |
| madjoe | nixipixel is hot :) | 02:56 |
| karan | what do u mean gritty | 02:56 |
| rosco | vivid, i updated. THX. is there a way for it to look for updates and ask to install them? | 02:56 |
| lullabud | karan: like reading the man pages thoroughly and stuff. solaris has so many unique things that aren't immediately obvious. | 02:56 |
| vivid | rosco, 'apt-get update' to refresh package lists, 'apt-get upgrade' to install any upgrades available | 02:57 |
| karan | deos UNIX have a solid gui | 02:57 |
| karan | ? | 02:57 |
| vivid | it will ask you yes or no if you want to take action | 02:57 |
| lullabud | karan: and don't even get me started on sun hardware, lol. good hardware, but holy hell it's unique... no power button? you have to telnet in or serial in and type poweron | 02:57 |
| blakkheim | karan: please take this to the offtopic channel | 02:57 |
| Random832 | karan, well, you can run gnome or kde on any "unix", and the default opensolaris setup runs with gnome | 02:57 |
| rosco | vivid, it will not automatically look for updates? as with Mint? i must do it manually? it wouldn't be a big deal. i'd do it when i water the plants | 02:57 |
| Random832 | commercial unixes also often have something called CDE | 02:58 |
| vivid | rosco, i dont know, i dont use lubuntu, ask them | 02:58 |
| hipitihop | erUSUL, hmm, all cpus return "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU" | 02:58 |
| sahal | my firefox is crashing. how do i diagnose this? | 02:58 |
| erUSUL | hipitihop: then just see what freq the cpu reports in /proc/cpuinfo | 02:58 |
| vivid | rosco, if you have update-manager, you should already be notified when updates are available | 02:58 |
| rosco | vivid, lubuntu isn't active. everyone must be out on the town | 02:58 |
| karan | really | 02:58 |
| rosco | wher eis update manager? lubuntu is very like ubuntu proper | 02:58 |
| karan | is unix better than linux | 02:58 |
| Random832 | IRIX has its own motif-ish desktop environment | 02:58 |
| NewWorld | sahal: When does it crash? | 02:59 |
| karan | since its like the ganddady | 02:59 |
| chelz | !luubuntu | rosco | 02:59 |
| NewWorld | karan: Linux is based on UNIX. Please take to OT channel | 02:59 |
| chelz | !lubuntu | rosco | 02:59 |
| ubottu | rosco: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 02:59 |
| lullabud | karan: when i say unix i just mean *nix... basically everything except windows. bsd, solaris, aix, linux, etc.. | 02:59 |
| lullabud | karan: pretty much every OS on the planet right now is a unix based OS, except windows. | 02:59 |
| karan | mhmm | 02:59 |
| lullabud | mainstream anyways... | 02:59 |
| sahal | NewWorld: sometimes it crashes in gmail. it crashes every time i try to load youtube videos | 03:00 |
| rosco | chelz, and ubottu i'll take that b/c they look the same, there are great differences | 03:00 |
| lullabud | ...and i guess there are some phone OSes that aren't *nix... | 03:00 |
| CUBED | I cannot get Lexmark X2600 driver that was written for 8.04 to install on 9.10 due to root password edit failure. Any ideas? | 03:00 |
| NewWorld | sahal: What firefox version? What flash version installed? | 03:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | CUBED, are you running the command with "sudo"? | 03:00 |
| lullabud | CUBED: root password edit failure? | 03:01 |
| drdr | ... | 03:01 |
| sahal | NewWorld: firefox 3.0.18 flash 10.0 r32 ubuntu 8.04 | 03:01 |
| CUBED | ZykoticK9: I tried several ways. The install setup actually prompts for password and doesn't know what to do with it. | 03:01 |
| vivid | CUBED, 'sudo dpkg -i <full_package_name>' | 03:02 |
| NewWorld | sahal: Was it working fine at some time in the past? Do you want to upgrade to 3.5/3.6, it could solve everything. | 03:02 |
| CUBED | lullabud: Yes, the install setup prompts and prompts with right password entered every time. | 03:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | CUBED, try using "sudo -i" then installing | 03:02 |
| Dougdoug4 | When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? | 03:02 |
| psvasti | how do i install chrome? | 03:03 |
| CUBED | ZykoticK9: "sudo -i" I'll try it. | 03:03 |
| sahal | NewWorld: it was working fine until like 3 days ago when apt-get updated firefox. yeah i'd like to upgrade but i'm not sure how to. it seems like verything is updated when i type apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. | 03:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | psvasti, if you want Chromium then add the PPA https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa, if you want Google Chrome download it from google and install | 03:03 |
| liKao | psvati: you can add a repository for google chrome... let me look it up | 03:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | psvasti, http://www.google.com/chrome for "Google Chrome" | 03:04 |
| Darkyyy | :) | 03:04 |
| letalis | ZykoticK9, there is a google repository for most if not all of the google linux apps | 03:04 |
| Darkyyy | i'm on windows 7 | 03:04 |
| liKao | psvati: you can add the repository deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main | 03:05 |
| NewWorld | sahal: You could try downgrading to a previous release (before the update) though I wouldn't know how to do that. Or you could upgrade to 3.6 using tutorials like this one: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html | 03:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | letalis, if you install the Google Chrome DEB it adds the Google repo | 03:05 |
| letalis | ZykoticK9, i never knew that | 03:05 |
| letalis | LOL | 03:05 |
| Dougdoug4 | When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? | 03:06 |

| NewWorld | sahal: Though uninstalling something that is not in the repos is untested and could be unstable/unsecured. | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, are you using the OSE or PUEL version? | 03:06 |
| goddard | I'm not sure | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, did you install using Ubuntu repo or from Oracle's site? | 03:06 |
| goddard | ubuntu repo | 03:07 |
| Dougdoug4 | When I used Empathy for the first time, it changed the little shutdown icon next to my name in the upper right-hand corner to a status text bubble thing, how do I change it back to the shutdown icon? | 03:07 |
| sahal | NewWorld: i was trying to figure out how to like file a bug report | 03:07 |
| NewWorld | karan: Hmm just had a thought. Maybe it's something to do with 32bit/64bit? ;o | 03:07 |
| Darkyyy | hi everyone | 03:07 |
| sahal | NewWorld: and get crash reports and stuff | 03:07 |
| goddard | or a deb file I can't remember | 03:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, then you'd have to wait for Lucid (or find a PPA) for upgrade, or switch to Oracle's version (which supports USB in VMs) at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 03:07 |
| karan | o.0 | 03:07 |

| mathis_ | where can i find info how to install audacity for xubuntu 9.04? | 03:08 |
| goddard | Zykotick9 alright thanks | 03:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, does " apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose" show it as being installed? | 03:08 |
| lullabud | Dougdoug4: have you tried restarting X to see if it comes back normal? | 03:08 |
| xlukasx | Hey fellas? | 03:08 |
| goddard | Zykotick9 it returns installed none | 03:09 |
| Dougdoug4 | no lullabud | 03:09 |
| Dougdoug4 | how do I restart X? | 03:09 |
| lullabud | Dougdoug4: did you try restarting your computer? that would restart x | 03:09 |
| kavurt | can I find and reinstall packages I uninstalled? | 03:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, then you probably have the PUEL version -- see details for adding the repo (and thus getting updates) at http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads | 03:09 |
| lullabud | Dougdoug4: otherwise you can hit ctrl-alt-backspace. beware that it will terminate all of your open apps. | 03:09 |
| vivid | Dougdoug4, 'sudo restart gdm' if youre on karmic | 03:09 |
| NewWorld | kavurt: Use synaptic. | 03:09 |

| jaypur | to run ssh in my server, what do i need to install??? openssh??? or just ssh?? i forgot... i'm building a tutorial | 03:11 |
| sonny | Sweet! Is there anything special I need to do before downloading and installing, or will it walk me through? | 03:11 |
| liKao | sonny: it's almost automatic | 03:11 |
| lullabud | jaypur: openssh-server is the server | 03:11 |
| NewWorld | kavurt: Use apt-cache to search for packages. Use 'apt-get install/reinstall' to install packages. | 03:12 |
| ZykoticK9 | liKao, "almost" | 03:12 |
| liKao | Zyko: well, a few choices are left | 03:12 |

| sonny | Ok, I'll go ahead and give it a whirl. Thanks. | 03:13 |
| NewWorld | dbook82: If it's ubuntu-related, here is fine. | 03:13 |
| jaypur | lullabud, so to run it i just need openssh??? | 03:13 |
| lullabud | dbook82: i'm sure people in here would be glad to help | 03:13 |
| mawst | Is there a page, news site or some such that updates us with new packages being added to the repos? | 03:13 |
| lullabud | jaypur: "to run it"? | 03:13 |
| liKao | ZykoticK9: and the kubuntu partioner is kinda broken, so don't use that *gg* | 03:13 |
| lullabud | jaypur: what exactly are you trying to do? | 03:13 |
| vivid | mawst, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ not sure if it will show you what is newly added though | 03:14 |
| jaypur | lullabud, i'm already doing it, i'm just writing a tutorial, and i need to know exactly the comands... i need to install @ the server, openssh... and what about ssh? | 03:14 |
| jacob__ | lullabud: It worked, your so smart | 03:14 |
| dbook82 | ok thanks... I'm having trouble configuring Conky, | 03:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | mawst, Ubuntu does not do rolling updates - so you should never see "new" packages, just security/bug fixes | 03:14 |
| liKao | jaypur: openssh is needed to get out, openssh-server is needed to get in | 03:14 |
| lullabud | jacob__: ...what worked? | 03:14 |
| jacob__ | restarting X | 03:15 |
| lullabud | jaypur: you need to install the server on the server, and the client on the client. | 03:15 |
| Darkyyy | hey | 03:15 |
| lullabud | jacob__: oh, i think your name changed. were you dougdoug before? | 03:15 |
| mawst | eh | 03:16 |
| mawst | Well so there's nothing new? :/ | 03:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | mawst, only when a new version comes out - then there are new packages | 03:16 |
| lullabud | mawst: write something new and submit it! ;-) | 03:16 |
| dbook82 | i've tried installing it thru the terminal and when i go to set up the .conkyrc it doesn't want to run | 03:16 |

| jaypur | lullabud, i forgot what i have installed grr... | 03:17 |
| mawst | Perhaps. | 03:17 |
| lullabud | jaypur: openssh-server is the server, openssh is the client | 03:17 |
| jaypur | lullabud, i don't know if i installed openssh server, but it's running... | 03:17 |
| NewWorld | ZykoticK9: "Ubuntu does not do rolling updates" what is the name to that describes Ubuntu's way of updating? | 03:17 |
| mawst | Turtle-Esque | 03:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | NewWorld, no idea -- not updates, lol | 03:18 |
| jaypur | lullabud, at ubuntu server... i install openssh-server, and at the normal pc... openssh... is that it? | 03:18 |
| NewWorld | !ask | seek3r | 03:18 |
| ubottu | seek3r: 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. :-) | 03:18 |
| liKao | jaypur: if you can do "ssh yourmachine" from somewhere else you have openssh-server installed | 03:18 |
| ChogyDan | NewWorld: time based releases, cadence | 03:18 |
| Darkyyy | hi everyone | 03:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | ChogyDan, thanks | 03:18 |
| lullabud | jaypur: no, openssh-server is the service you connect to. openssh is the client you use to connect to the server with. | 03:18 |
| === javabean is now known as }javabean{ | ||
| lullabud | jaypur: you can install openssh-server on any ubuntu system | 03:19 |
| jaypur | lullabud, aaah now i got it | 03:19 |
| NewWorld | ChogyDan: Thank you | 03:19 |
| jaypur | lullabud, but what's the difference if i type sudo apt-get install openssh, or openssh-server, or just ssh? | 03:19 |
| vivid | ssh is a meta package that links to both openssh and openssh-server | 03:19 |
| lullabud | jaypur: fyi, there are a LOT of great articles on how to do amazing things with ssh. ssh is one of the most powerful tools that linux has. | 03:20 |
| jaypur | hmmm | 03:20 |
| liKao | lullabud: do you have a link handy? | 03:20 |

| NewWorld | sahal: That's a common, but broad error, sorry dunno what to do there. Dunno about a crash reporter either :/ | 03:21 |
| lullabud | liKao: hold and i'll find some... | 03:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | kavurt, had to scroll up to see what the thanks for for -- clone, right. Best of luck man. | 03:21 |

| seek3r | ChogyDan, My webcam is built-in. | 03:22 |
| ChogyDan | seek3r: so what, it still may not be supported by default in linux | 03:22 |
| ChogyDan | seek3r: some webcams need a driver | 03:23 |
| lullabud | liKao: well, this isn't advanced, but it's useful... how to enable passwordless, key-based logins. - http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com/articles/20021211.html | 03:23 |
| lullabud | liKao: you could also check out `man ssh_config` for a bunch of cool tricks for your ~/.ssh/config file | 03:23 |
| ChogyDan | seek3r: I think the place to start is either using lspci and lspcmcia to find the model of the webcam, or by installing easycam2 and seeing if that works. You may also want to start by running gstreamer-properties and seeing if the cam works there | 03:24 |
| lullabud | liKao: you can do things like proxy through a remote host tunneled over ssh, which can secure your internet connection while using public wifi networks... tons of neat tricks. | 03:24 |

| Semitones | hey ho, what's the keyboard shortcut to open the applications menu? | 03:24 |
| jaypur | lullabud, so i'll write at my tutorial that the user should run at server and client, sudo apt-get install ssh, and everything will be ok right? | 03:24 |
| liKao | lullabud: i am mainly looking for some ways to make it as secure as possible, as I am already getting some break-in attempts on that service | 03:24 |
| NewWorld | Semitones: Alt+F1? | 03:24 |
| mawst | How do I add a mount to the um... locate database? | 03:24 |
| lullabud | liKao: one thing i used to do was ssh on my linux machine, open a tunnel to a system that was behind the firewall, then use my windows machine to RDC over that ssh tunnel. pretty slick for getting GUI access to systems behind a firewall when all you have is ssh access. | 03:25 |
| lullabud | liKao: ah man, yeah... the brute force attacks suck. change the default port for sure. | 03:25 |
| q0_0p | does anyone know why when poping in windows installation disk it gives me a blank screen? | 03:25 |
| Semitones | NewWorld, that sounds right. I guess it just doesn't work in lubuntu | 03:26 |
| q0_0p | is it because windows doesn't like linux? | 03:26 |
| seek3r | ChogyDan, Ok thanks for your response. | 03:26 |
| NewWorld | q0_0p: Bad media? Corrupted? | 03:26 |
| lullabud | mawst: check /etc/updatedb.conf | 03:26 |
| NewWorld | Semitones: Run 'gconf-editor' and try to find the setting there | 03:26 |
| Semitones | thank you | 03:27 |
| lullabud | liKao: another thing you can do to secure ssh is do a whitelist on users who are allowed to authenticate... | 03:27 |
| liKao | lullabud: what i'd love it to do is to still use the normal port in the local network, but another one from remote.... mainly because i am just lazy i guess | 03:27 |
| lullabud | liKao: this is good for if there's an exploit in one of the services that has an account on your system | 03:28 |
| jaypur | lullabud, got it | 03:28 |
| supermatt1000 | can some one help me install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download i need it and there is no deb for it | 03:28 |
| seek3r | ChogyDan, Everything works now. I only had to tweak some settings within gstreamer-properties. Thank you very much. | 03:28 |
| ChogyDan | seek3r: great! glad it worked out | 03:28 |
| lullabud | liKao: as long as it's not 22 to the outside world that's great. it's surprising how much CPU overhead an ssh breakin attempt uses, and if you're getting thousands a day it'll make a significant impact on your system. | 03:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | Semitones, try alt+f1 | 03:28 |
| dbook82 | anyone? | 03:28 |
| shizzle | How can I make all files in a directory inherit permissions from it's directory? | 03:29 |
| lullabud | liKao: you can use ~/.ssh/config to set a default port that's non-standard, so you can have it changed to all non-standard ports and not have to worry about specifying port on the command line. | 03:29 |
| xiong | Window List buttons in the panel are "pressed in" when selected. Nautilus tab buttons are "pressed out" when selected. Other applications take one approach or the other. Is there any way to get them to agree? | 03:29 |

| lullabud | rautamiekka: the reason being, doing it the /dev/zero way is just decreasing the magnetic value of the bits... it is still potentially possible to increase that value and get it back. doing random doesn't just decrease it all the same amount, but by different amounts, and there's no way to find out what each amount was. | 03:33 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan i need to install this http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/#download but there is no deb for it | 03:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | supermatt1000, from the INSTALL readme file http://paste.ubuntu.com/394919/ | 03:34 |
| olskolirc | anyone know how I can get virtualbox 2.2.4 guest usb device running on Intrepid? Those cats at vbox suck | 03:34 |
| ChogyDan | rautamiekka: I think you only need to use random a few times. And only if you think someone will open up your drive in a lab | 03:34 |
| hipitihop | can someone tell me if this guide is still relevant for karmic ? http://po-ru.com/diary/up-to-date-ffmpeg-on-ubuntu-hardy/ | 03:34 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: also, check out dcfldd as a replacement for dd, it's awesome. it'll let you specify input strings and all sorts of cool additional flags, plus it has a status output. | 03:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | olskolirc, did you install VBox from the Ubuntu repository? | 03:34 |
| fr3nzy | Hello guys. A quick question here. I'm setting up my USB Mem to boot the ubuntu 9.10 alternate installation. I've got the boot record configured, and I have the syslinux.cfg file in place. I'm not sure how to copy the files from the ubuntu cd image. The syslinux.cfg points directly to two files (vmlinuz and initrd.gz), which are in the install directory on the cd image, should I copy them over with the whole install directory or just extract t | 03:34 |
| ChogyDan | supermatt1000: yes, there are installation instructions, You should try just following those | 03:34 |
| rautamiekka | lullabud: Does that mean that dd doesn't actually write the data impossible to recover, but it makes it impossible to figure out how to read what was written, thus concealing the confidental data ? | 03:35 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan thanks ill tell you if it works | 03:35 |
| olskolirc | no ZykoticK9 I got it from the site the one in my repository gives me problems and it doesn't support usb either | 03:35 |
| olskolirc | I don't know why that option is even on the program if its not supported - i hate those guys i swear | 03:35 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: imagine that i give you 20 numbers... i tell you to divide them all by 10. i can then have you multiply them all by 10 and get pretty much the original set of numbers. | 03:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | olskolirc, ok i was just checking - you have the right version but i'm affraid your ubuntu version is too old for me to remember any suggestions | 03:36 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: if i have you divide them all by a random amount, i won't be able to get the original numbers back. | 03:36 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan how do i set my teminal to a specific folder | 03:36 |
| ChogyDan | supermatt1000: cd | 03:36 |
| olskolirc | I had it on fiesty with 2.2.4 before but i had to follow some instructions which I can't find anymore | 03:36 |
| rautamiekka | lullabud: Which simply means ? Data is as gone as can be ? | 03:36 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan ty | 03:36 |
| rehanez | any female from Pakistan ? | 03:37 |
| seanbrystone | omg | 03:37 |
| shazbotmcnasty | lol what | 03:37 |
| rumpsy | yes | 03:37 |
| rumpsy | rehanez: yes | 03:37 |
| fr3nzy | Hmh, anyone who can help me with booting the ubuntu alternate installation disk from USB? | 03:37 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: it means that the relationship between one bit and the next is broken... so if you manage to get one bit back to the original value (the value before dd) you won't necessarily be able to get the next bits back, making that one bit that was recovered useless. | 03:37 |
| dyek | Hi! Why is it that "apt-get update" doesn't update packages shown to available through the GUI update-manager? | 03:37 |
| ChogyDan | fr3nzy: why don't you use the usb-creator app? | 03:37 |
| rumpsy | rehanez: what you want exactly? | 03:38 |
| ChogyDan | dyek: try dist-upgrade | 03:38 |
| lunks | Hi, something really bizarre is going on after I tried to move Ubuntu from Wubi to a real partition. The new grub doesn't work at all, and I always have to go into the old grub, etc. It seems it messed up with all the naming of partitions and such | 03:38 |
| fr3nzy | ChogyDan, I've been following the documentation on help.ubuntu.com for this. | 03:38 |
| rumpsy | rehanez: i donno what you want exactly, i'm sorry | 03:38 |
| ChogyDan | fr3nzy: link? | 03:38 |
| olskolirc | ha! http://www.davidgrant.ca/virtualbox_usb_windows_xp_guest_ubuntu_hardy | 03:38 |
| fr3nzy | I'm just not sure how exactly should I copy the files over. | 03:39 |
| fr3nzy | https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/installation-guide/amd64/boot-usb-files.html | 03:39 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: basically, using random makes it incredibly more difficult than using zero. zero is just a way to clean a disk. random is a way of obliterating the data. | 03:39 |
| researcher1 | How can I know if I have 32 bit or 64 bit system? | 03:39 |
| ZykoticK9 | researcher1, "uname -m" | 03:39 |
| researcher1 | thanks | 03:39 |
| lunks | Where does update-grub grabs info? It's heavily messed up on my PC. | 03:39 |
| rautamiekka | lullabud: Oh I see. dd makes recovery attempts useless by screwing up the puzzle with pieces from other. Clever. | 03:40 |
| Semitones | dyek, I'm pretty sure update-manager uses aptitude for it's updates | 03:40 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: exactly | 03:40 |
| dyek | ChogyDan: There is no such utility or package. Typo? | 03:40 |
| rautamiekka | lullabud: Thank you for your patience. That cleared it out :) | 03:40 |
| researcher1 | what does i686 mean? | 03:40 |
| lullabud | rautamiekka: de nada | 03:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | researcher1, 32bit | 03:40 |
| ChogyDan | dyek: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is that what you ran? | 03:40 |
| Graphettion | Does Adobe Photoshop work with Ubuntu using the Wine app? | 03:41 |
| researcher1 | ok | 03:41 |
| Daughain | I need some help getting a linksys wireless card to work on an older compaq laptop. Ubuntu 9.10 is detecting the card, but doesnt seem to be turning it on. Any ideas? | 03:41 |
| Semitones | dyek, try sudo aptitude safe-upgrade -- see if it gives you the missing packages | 03:41 |
| dyek | Semitones: OK. aptitude doesn't show that package are available too, but it showed in update-manager. | 03:41 |
| verb3k | Graphettion, yes | 03:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | Graphettion, search for your version at http://www.winehq.org/ | 03:41 |
| rautamiekka | researcher1: i686 is practically same as i384 but i686 contains performance+execution algorithms which allow for more speed, and to do what you couldn't do without them. | 03:41 |
| ipwnu | does anyone know of a tutorial that shows you how to encrypt your swap partition post-installation? | 03:41 |
| ChogyDan | fr3nzy: sorry, I don't know | 03:42 |
| Graphettion | Thank you verb3k, ZykoticK9 | 03:42 |
| fr3nzy | "vmlinuz" and "initrd.gz" are on the <cdimage>/install directory, and I'm not sure if I should copy the whole directory structure from the cd and make the syslinux.cfg file to reflect that or should I just extract those two files and make some adjustments to the rest - I want the whole alternate CD to be functional. | 03:42 |
| verb3k | Graphettion, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2631 | 03:42 |
| fr3nzy | Ah ok then, thank for your time though. | 03:42 |
| tcsoccerman | Is there any safe way to use an iPod touch with linux? | 03:42 |
| Semitones | dyek, I'm going to search google to find out what update-manager uses, just a sec | 03:42 |
| NewWorld | tcsoccerman: What do you mean 'safe'? | 03:42 |
| rautamiekka | researcher1: Which means, i686 is your best bet if you can choose between i686 and one with lower numbers. If I've understood correctly, if the CPU don't support i686, it'll still run with the ones it supports. | 03:43 |
| tcsoccerman | a stable program | 03:43 |
| ZykoticK9 | tcsoccerman, reportedly they work out of the box in Lucid - only 47 more days till release | 03:43 |
| dyek | Semitones: OK. So, "aptitude safe-upgrade" does show a lot of upgrade available. I think that is that I need. | 03:43 |
| lullabud | i686 does not mean you are booted into 64-bi | 03:43 |
| lullabud | x86_64 means 64-bit | 03:43 |
| tcsoccerman | really? Wow! | 03:43 |
| Semitones | dyek, glad to hear that :) | 03:43 |
| rautamiekka | That's good one you pointed out lullabud. Back in days I had tho that i686 = 64bit | 03:43 |
| Graphettion | verb3k: I guess CS4 doesn't work, heh | 03:43 |
| rautamiekka | But I know it's not | 03:43 |
| goddard | why not use gimp | 03:44 |
| Graphettion | Don't have experience with it. | 03:44 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan for the ./config command it says i need libxtst to compile this program | 03:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | tcsoccerman, http://www.techhail.com/linux/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-suppots-iphone-and-ipod-touch-out-of-the-box/3710 | 03:44 |
| verb3k | Graphettion, those tests are old, things might have changed with latter wine releases | 03:44 |
| rautamiekka | goddard: GIMP is difficult but very powerful when you get to know it. I'm wrong person to be asked more than that about it :D | 03:45 |
| goddard | some things are different but overall they are both just as effective from my experience | 03:45 |
| ChogyDan | supermatt1000: sudo apt-get install libxtst6 | 03:45 |
| Graphettion | verb3k: kk, I will try it. | 03:45 |
| Graphettion | Thank you. | 03:45 |
| verb3k | np | 03:45 |
| lullabud | Graphettion: honestly, there are a lot of things gimp can't do that photoshop can, such as folders in layers | 03:45 |
| verb3k | lullabud, you mean layer grouping? | 03:45 |
| goddard | lullabud is that it? that doesn't sound like a required feature | 03:45 |
| verb3k | layer grouping is coming in gimp 2.8 | 03:46 |
| lullabud | goddard: no, that's not it, that's just the most recent example of a conversion i had to do for a friend who didn't have photoshop handy... | 03:46 |
| fr3nzy | ChogyDan, can usb-creator be used from cli? I don't have gnome atm. | 03:46 |
| lullabud | verb3k: no, not layer grouping. in photoshop you can have a folder where you drop multiple layers into it, but they're not necessarily locked together. | 03:46 |
| Graphettion | I didn't mean to start an argument. :~ | 03:46 |
| goddard | lullabud I'd be interested in seeing a comparison with plugins | 03:46 |
| happyface | why does my wifi card not show up in nm-applet unless I reinstall gnome-network-manager and reboot? | 03:46 |
| supermatt1000 | ChogyDan it says unable to lock administration directory | 03:46 |
| tcsoccerman | ZykoticK9, that is excellent news to hear. I've been installing gtkpod and all that shannanigans for a while and finally gave up because it was such a mess. I cannot wait for 10.04 | 03:47 |
| roscogruen | ANYONE: i'm installing applications on new install. one application, adblock-plus said something about "dummy package" in description. what does "dummy package" mean? | 03:47 |
| lullabud | goddard: that would be intersting... honestly i don't have any experience with gimp except converting psd files for my friends who use it. i use cs4 though | 03:47 |

| rosco | lullabud, thx. i didn't see it. i want "adblock." i installed "adblock-plus." description says, "transitional dummy package." is this the package i want? the descriptiion is anything but what i'd expect to see | 03:51 |
| Samp | i'm not seeing "take screenshot" in accessories for some reason. It doesn't matter if you get there via alt+f1 right? | 03:51 |
| lullabud | rosco: no, don't worry about dummy packages. they're just there to act as a placeholder for dependency resolution. | 03:51 |

| Dr_Willis | then again.. is there an actual Ubuntu issue here? I missed it. | 04:11 |
| harry-houdini1 | has ubuntu 9.10 put some sort of firewall in place i dont know about? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | harry-houdini1: theres no default firewallrules by default. | 04:12 |
| Graphettion | Or is it all copyright related? | 04:12 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 you can check yourself with "sudo iptables -L" in a terminal window | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | harry-houdini1: check with sudo iptables --list | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | -L = --list (i think) :) | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | or did i get the case wrong? | 04:12 |
| void_pointer | Dr_Willis you are an op here - you are always right ;_ | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | void_pointer: i just read a lot. | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | void_pointer: i cant even rember the last time i used iptables : | 04:13 |
| harry-houdini1 | you got it right Dr_Willis | 04:13 |
| void_pointer | but yeah, I'm pretty sure -L == --list | 04:13 |
| harry-houdini1 | i am getting connection refused trying to connect to tightvnc ... | 04:13 |
| hipitihop | I want to build ffmpeg but 'sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg' complains it cannot find source package, what do I need | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | long options use 2 dashes according to some standard that i cant rember. :) then ya got programs that break that standard. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | hipitihop: enable the -src repos , update package list, and try again | 04:14 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 did your "sudo iptables -L" show anything besides "ACCEPT"s? | 04:14 |
| harry-houdini1 | no all ACCEPTS | 04:14 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 ok, at least you know it's not the firewall | 04:14 |
| harry-houdini1 | tightvnc tells me its running for :1 | 04:14 |
| harry-houdini1 | i wonder do i have to enable remote x somewhere in xwindows | 04:15 |
| Daughain | How do I turn on the wireless card in iwconfig? | 04:15 |
| Jerky | what the best way to stream video across the internet from an Ubuntu server to a kubuntu notebook | 04:15 |
| Jerky | I tried ampache but it does not do video very well | 04:15 |
| lullabud | Jerky: vlc can do video streaming | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | harry-houdini1: not for vnc normally | 04:15 |
| hipitihop | JErky, have you looked at vlc | 04:16 |
| linagee | does anyone know why Mobile Broadband connections have like a 50/50 chance of showing up in the network menu on ubuntu netbook remix? | 04:16 |
| Jerky | well, i have a whole library that I want to stream | 04:16 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 what about the other side of the connection? Is there a firewall there? | 04:16 |
| Jerky | yes i use it | 04:16 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| lullabud | Jerky: you can set it up to play through many files | 04:16 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, well afaik streaming is one of its strengths | 04:16 |
| Jerky | whats afaik? | 04:17 |
| harry-houdini1 | nope no firewall there either | 04:17 |
| lullabud | Jerky: as far as i know | 04:17 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, "as far as I know" | 04:17 |
| Jerky | ahh | 04:17 |
| Jerky | lol i feel like a fool | 04:17 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 ok, the next thing to check is if you are going through a router and NAT to reach the vnc box | 04:18 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, if you read the vlc documentation you will find all you need to stream ... it can transcode on teh fly and all | 04:18 |
| Jerky | ok but i have a lot of videos on my server, so if i am on the road, is there an easy way to do it | 04:18 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 it's been a while since I used vnc but I think it's port 5900 you'd have to port forward through the router | 04:18 |
| lullabud | Jerky: oooh, so what you want is remote access to your videos, not necessarily to have them streaming over the internet.... | 04:18 |
| ChogyDan | !checkinstall > supermatt1000 | 04:18 |
| ubottu | supermatt1000, please see my private message | 04:18 |
| Jerky | yeah | 04:18 |
| harry-houdini1 | thanks the hosts are on the same lan | 04:19 |
| Jerky | like i want to be on my notebook across the country and pick a movie i want to watch from my server | 04:19 |
| buttons840 | i've accidently removed the ubuntu ppa's from my software sources, is there a default source.list i can download or that is stored somewhere? | 04:19 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, don't know the answer to that, perhaps someone else knows | 04:19 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 ok. Well, we've about reached the end of my knowledge of vnc. Sorry :) | 04:19 |
| Jerky | hipitihop: thanks for your help | 04:19 |
| void_pointer | harry-houdini1 maybe it's a vnc-specific config setting | 04:20 |
| lullabud | Jerky: well, vlc does the transcoding on the fly, so that's nice for when you're on a slow connection... | 04:20 |
| Jerky | lullabud: yeah, i know, i have tried a bunch of stuff, just seeing if anyone has an idea | 04:20 |
| lullabud | Jerky: there's got to be a better app. i just can't think of it... slingbox would be rad, but that is hardware. | 04:20 |
| Jerky | lullabud: yeah i just wish there was a super easy wat to do vlc | 04:21 |
| Jerky | but its like you gotta ssh into the server and bla bla bla | 04:21 |
| Jerky | many steps i think | 04:21 |
| lullabud | there may be a web app to do it in the browser, if not it would be not a huge deal to make something quickly that would do it. | 04:21 |
| hipitihop | Dr_Willis, enabling the src repos did the trick, thanks. | 04:22 |
| chelz | buttons840: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#Ubuntu%20Software%20Tab | 04:22 |
| lullabud | Jerky: man, yeah... looks like linux is lacking in that regard. from what i heard though, vlc is ramping up their streaming stuff. | 04:23 |
| lullabud | Jerky: also, vlc has a web interface that's available. you might try that. | 04:24 |
| Jerky | lullabud: i love vlc, i use it to stream from ampache | 04:24 |
| Jerky | lullabud: hmm didnt realize they had a web interface | 04:24 |
| lullabud | Jerky: - http://wiki.videolan.org/Web_Interface | 04:24 |
| ddrj | has anyone here installed ubuntu on a system that has NO operating system on it by default? | 04:24 |
| lullabud | ddrj: yeah | 04:25 |
| ddrj | lullabud: did u go the booting ubuntu installer from usb route? | 04:25 |
| lullabud | ddrj: i'm sure many of us have. it's a pretty common thing. | 04:25 |
| lullabud | ddrj: i've done it from usb and dvd | 04:25 |
| ddrj | ahh ok good!!! | 04:25 |
| ddrj | i got this error when trying to boot from USB | 04:25 |
| ddrj | No bootable partition in table. | 04:25 |
| lullabud | ddrj: how did you create your usb disk? | 04:26 |
| ddrj | it's set as active partition, used that unetbootin tool to create the usb | 04:26 |
| ddrj | i used unetbootin, specified iso and browsed to ubuntu 9.10 iso | 04:26 |
| Thundarr | Q: 9.10/64bit Turning mouse acceleration to lowest doesn't actually turn it off. Is there a way to edit something and actually turn accel off? thanks much. | 04:26 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, I don't remember the standard now something four letter acrnoym like PPtd <- pretty sure that's not it, which allows various players to see and select from a list of available media | 04:26 |
| lullabud | ddrj: unfortunately, booting usb still has a lot of problems. =/ | 04:26 |
| ddrj | ;\\ yeah... i don't have a cd drive or floppy on target OS | 04:26 |
| linagee | can someone help a ubuntu newb? how do I get a newer version of a kernel module driver (from unstable)? some sort of dpkg command line thing? | 04:26 |
| ddrj | err target machine | 04:26 |
| Nickalai | did you enable boot removable devices in bios? | 04:27 |
| lullabud | ddrj: what machine is it? you might be able to find people who have done the same thing. | 04:27 |
| ddrj | tbh, just a custom built one lullabud | 04:27 |
| linagee | lullabud: I am booting from SD card. :) | 04:27 |
| lullabud | ddrj: also, it sounds like you may have done the usb creation wrong. it seems like it's finding a bootable device, but not the bootable partition. | 04:27 |
| linagee | lullabud: if you think booting from USB is hard... lol | 04:27 |
| lullabud | linagee: yeah, haha, unfortunately a lot of hardware has problems booting from anything except cdrom, hard disk and floppy. not all of it though, a lot of it is great at booting off alternative media. | 04:28 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, and apparently vlc also has a plugin for it. but I have not used the stuff myself. | 04:28 |
| linagee | lullabud: (no bios support to boot from SD card. I have grub set up on my physical hard drive, then I had to edit initrd.img because they also thought you don't need to be booting from SD card) | 04:28 |
| ddrj | lullabud: hm.... what do you mean? i dl'ed the ubuntu 9.10 iso, opened up unetbootin, specified iso and then it created it onto my usb drive | 04:28 |
| Jerky | hipitihop: thanks | 04:28 |
| hipitihop | Jerky, no problem, sorry for being vague in the last bit. | 04:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | How could an idiot contribute to ubuntu? | 04:29 |
| lullabud | ddrj: oooh, you know, another thing is that not all usb devices are bootable. some of them have firmware updates available that make them bootable. | 04:29 |
| ddrj | also the partition's set as active / primary | 04:29 |
| ddrj | ahhhh | 04:29 |
| hipitihop | can someone tell me what the current replacement for liblame-dev is ? | 04:29 |
| linagee | Dougdoug4: test things, report bugs to forums and such | 04:29 |
| ddrj | crap, it may not be bootable then x\\ | 04:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | linagee: test things such as..? | 04:29 |
| ddrj | this is just a cheap office depot brand | 04:29 |
| linagee | Dougdoug4: on your computer | 04:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | like programs? | 04:29 |
| linagee | Dougdoug4: hardware/software/etc | 04:29 |
| ddrj | lullabud: is there any alternative other than USB / cd / floppy to installing ubuntu? can i do a network install or anything ? | 04:30 |
| linagee | ddrj: why do you need that? get a USB CD drive and boot from that. (or does your bios support booting from USB CD?) | 04:30 |
| lullabud | ddrj: you could boot over the network, but that's pretty involved. | 04:30 |
| ddrj | linagee: hmm yeah but i don't have a usb cd drive or any friends that have one ;( | 04:31 |
| lullabud | ddrj: what kind of usb drive are you trying to boot from? | 04:31 |
| linagee | I have an acer aspire one netbook. how funny it is that video runs smoothly in ubuntu and jerky in windows 7. (I think it has too much crap loaded by default such as mcafee, etc.) | 04:32 |
| ddrj | lullabud: this is an Ativa 2GB | 04:32 |
| linagee | ddrj: ebay | 04:32 |
| chelz | ddrj: http://boot.kernel.org/ | 04:32 |
| rohan | when i do an aptitude update, there is one of the repos which is stuck at 'waiting for headers'. how do i pinpoint which particular repo is that? | 04:32 |
| ddrj | thanks checking | 04:32 |
| linagee | rohan: wireshark? lol | 04:33 |
| buttons840 | chelz, i didn't see anything in your link about restoring my sources.list. i've lost the sources.list file and was wondering if i could get a default one from anywhere? | 04:34 |
| masu3701 | my friend is trying to remove desktop into my ubuntu pc from windows using vnc but cant? | 04:34 |
| lullabud | ddrj: looks like other people are having boot problems with that flash device... | 04:34 |
| lullabud | ddrj: *usb device | 04:34 |
| masu3701 | do i need to have vnc on my ubuntu for him to access it? | 04:34 |
| chelz | buttons840: try unchecking and rechecking stuff in there. it might make a new one. | 04:34 |
| linagee | masu3701: trying to remove desktop?? | 04:34 |
| linagee | masu3701: call a professional mover? | 04:34 |
| masu3701 | ? | 04:34 |
| lullabud | ddrj: do you have a different usb stick you can use? | 04:35 |
| linagee | masu3701: read what you wrote before throwing question marks out there | 04:35 |
| ddrj | lullabud: woah thanks, how did u know that others were having problems with it? also yeah i can find another usb device, would u recommend any? (i can buy from walmart real quick) | 04:35 |
| masu3701 | you know wat i was trying to say so | 04:35 |
| lullabud | ddrj: google told me. | 04:35 |
| linagee | masu3701: not really. remove desktop? | 04:35 |
| ddrj | hahaha | 04:35 |
| masu3701 | remote | 04:36 |
| ddrj | lullabud: can i pm u? | 04:36 |
| lullabud | ddrj: sure | 04:36 |
| linagee | ddrj: PNY from walmart works | 04:37 |
| felipe__ | Hi everyone. I have a doubt. if a do the command line "man fwrite" (for example) the shell says the don't have the manual entry for fwrite. | 04:37 |
| linagee | ddrj: I tried doing the ISO/USB boot thing with a 16GB walmart PNY USB drive | 04:37 |
| Nickalai | i think that masu3701 would like to take advantage of ubuntu's remote desktop capabilities | 04:37 |
| ddrj | linagee: thanks !!! i'll get that then, cus this ativa's a POS office depot knock off brand | 04:37 |
| linagee | ddrj: not that you need 16GB for an ISO, but it was only $50 or so and I will of course reuse it | 04:38 |
| ddrj | yaw | 04:38 |
| ddrj | hmm i think i'll just get a 1gb maybe! :X :P | 04:38 |
| linagee | ddrj: why don't you return it when you're done too? that will complete the cheapskateness. :P | 04:38 |
| elmakaru_22 | somebody can help me with a tv online site | 04:38 |
| elmakaru_22 | or a program | 04:38 |
| elmakaru_22 | plss | 04:39 |
| Nickalai | masu3701: look in your system's settings for remote desktop. ubuntu builds in the vnc server | 04:39 |
| ddrj | hahahha very funny linagee | 04:39 |
| ddrj | it's just that i lose usb drives very quickly | 04:39 |
| ddrj | i lost 2 to the washer already | 04:39 |
| linagee | ddrj: I don't think they have 1GB PNY USB drives at walmart anymore btw. I think 2GB or 4GB is the smallest now | 04:39 |
| ddrj | one is lost somewhere around here | 04:39 |

| Nickalai | same network correct? ip settings are correct? password correct? | 04:41 |
| linagee | masu3701: and then also, can you? (from a remote test server) | 04:41 |

| bigtom21485 | how do i get drivers for a Broadcom 4321 AG wifi adapter? | 04:42 |
| ddrj | linagee: to complete the cheapskate part, i'm about to try installing ubuntu from my camera via usb :) (gotta give credit to lullabud) | 04:42 |
| linagee | ddrj: LOL | 04:42 |
| masu3701 | linagee: what you mean.....i trying to remote desktop into my own pc and was able...but he cant | 04:42 |
| linagee | ddrj: or just get a drive and don't destroy them in the washer. :) | 04:42 |
| wrapster | im looking out for a CD burner.. which softwares are available? | 04:42 |
| ddrj | yeah easier said than done :P | 04:43 |
| linagee | masu3701: can you connect to your VNC server from a remote shell/host on the internet | 04:43 |
| lullabud | man, i ran my ipod nano through the washing machine and it worked fine | 04:43 |
| bigtom21485 | the bravado cd/dvd burner that comes with ubuntu 9.10 is pretty fast and reliable | 04:43 |
| lullabud | crazy but true | 04:43 |
| masu3701 | linagee: do i need to install vnc? | 04:43 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest50990 | ||

| === james is now known as Guest85185 | ||
| dbdii407 | I know the theme didn't just disappear. ;) | 04:44 |
| linagee | masu3701: I don't get the question. are you just assuming linux (Xorg) has VNC by default or something? there is no default to assume in linux | 04:44 |
| buttons840 | chelz, i'm not use to the gui, i usually just edit the file | 04:44 |
| Guest85185 | how can i find the path to my iphone that i just plugged in to my linux box? | 04:44 |
| linagee | Guest85185: the path? | 04:44 |
| wrapster | bigtom21485: thats what i used.. But im unable to add more files to it after i burn it once.. And by default the multisession is enabled.. | 04:45 |
| linagee | Guest85185: do you have an automounter running or something? | 04:45 |
| wrapster | not really sure what is happening. | 04:45 |
| buttons840 | does anyone else know of a default sources.list for apt? i just had a typical ubuntu 9.10 file until i ruined it... | 04:45 |

| linagee | does anyone know when 10.4 is coming out? the first of next month maybe? :) | 04:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | linagee, 47 days until release | 04:46 |
| linagee | ZykoticK9: tick tock tick tock. :) | 04:46 |
| Darkyyy | cool | 04:46 |
| masu3701 | linagee: so do i need to install vnc also? cause i didnt...all i did was enabling remote desktop in the settings | 04:46 |
| Darkyyy | when it's released i'm gonna delete my windows | 04:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | linagee, 5 days till beta 1 | 04:46 |
| bigtom21485 | wrapster: im on a dual boot vista/ubuntu laptop and i cant get ubuntu to see my wifi card so im trying to figure out why it found my wifi card when i ran from the livecd but not now that i have it installed on my hard drive | 04:46 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, that has a 8.04 sources.list | 04:46 |
| Guest85185 | linagee I don't know because it mounts at a photo device when pluged in however I am getting ready to try ifuse and it said i need to provide a path to my device... | 04:46 |
| linagee | ZykoticK9: does netbook remix come out as part of that, or do we have to wait extra? | 04:46 |
| lullabud | buttons840: you just change "hardy" to be whatever version you're using | 04:47 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, also has a little note at the bottom "this is not a complete list" so i'm hesitant to use it | 04:47 |
| detrix | I am trying to help a friend to connect two computers (1st one is a Ununtu box, the other a windows XP box.) to a DSL modem/router. Do I use a router or switch? | 04:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | linagee, Netbook Remix has been renamed to "Ubuntu Netbook Edition (UNE)" and yes should be same release date | 04:47 |
| mrenouf | ZykoticK9, I always jump in around beta1. Kernel freeze means most craziness is fixed ;-) | 04:47 |
| buttons840 | guess it's better than nothing | 04:47 |
| linagee | Guest85185: open a prompt and type mount. it will tell you all mounted devices and where they are mounted | 04:47 |
| cfedde | detrix: typicaly a switch | 04:47 |
| Guest85185 | linagee will do brb | 04:48 |
| earthen | Hey guys i have this line in my fstab "/dev/sda6 /media/Documents vfat quiet,defaults,rw 0 0" but i still cannot write to it? can someone explain why? | 04:48 |
| cfedde | detrix: and frequently DSL routers hjave one built in. | 04:48 |
| ZykoticK9 | mrenouf, hope you like crazy button placement (i'll drop subject #ubuntu+1 for Lucid discussion) | 04:48 |
| linagee | ZykoticK9: renamed. interesting. nice about the simaltaneous release | 04:48 |
| linagee | masu3701: I don't know about any VNC gui preinstalled utilities of ubuntu | 04:49 |
| detrix | cfedde: this one seems to only allow one. there is only one port on the dsl modem. | 04:49 |
| masu3701 | linagee: i think vino is preinstall in ubuntu as the vnc server | 04:50 |
| cfedde | detrix: ah. then a low end 5 port switch will need to be chained from the dsl modem/router | 04:50 |
| detrix | cfedde: which is why I think a switch is needed | 04:50 |
| linagee | detrix: does the port output PPPoE data, or is it already authenticated? If it's the second one, you might be able to hook it to a switch | 04:50 |
| linagee | masu3701: do you see the server running, do you see it listening on the port? I would check all of these first | 04:50 |
| lullabud | buttons840: what version are you using? | 04:50 |
| cfedde | let one of the boxes do the pppoe and the other can just client along. | 04:51 |
| bigtom21485 | how do i get drivers for a Broadcom 4321 AG wifi adapter? | 04:51 |
| linagee | cfedde: unless the DSL modem/router is outputting PPPoE data. then hooking it to a switch would not be an optimal thing | 04:51 |
| detrix | linagee: as far as I know, my friend does not need to enter in a username or password... | 04:51 |
| cfedde | linagee: could be. | 04:51 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, i am using ubuntu 9.10 | 04:51 |
| linagee | detrix: PPPoE data can be cached in a variety of places | 04:51 |
| linagee | detrix: er, PPPoE credentials | 04:52 |
| masu3701 | linagee: not sure how to check that | 04:52 |
| Roasted | Isnt the new "brand" theme in lucid? I hear people talking about it so I installed lucid alpha 3 in a VM and I see human... wheres brand at?? | 04:52 |
| linagee | masu3701: how to check to see it's running. know the process name, use top. how to check to see if it's listening on a port. use netstat | 04:52 |

| daddysmurf | I want to set up my own mail server of sorts, which will go get my mail from my work's exchange server, as well as pull from gmail (and maybe one day, hotmail, then THE WORLD!!!), so that I can check my power bill in mutt | 04:53 |
| lullabud | buttons840: i'm looking for the command right now... | 04:54 |
| Debian911 | Anyone have much experience with SSD + Trim and Alignments - just got Ubuntu Server 9.10, upgraded to kernel 2.6.33 - but I've now read up on having alignment offset set, however this is on a Server I do not have physical access to so Live CD is out, not to mention reformatting SSDs as thats where my only OS sits. Ideas? | 04:54 |
| IdleOne | daddysmurf: sounds like a lot of work just to check your power bill | 04:54 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, a command to what? | 04:54 |
| lullabud | buttons840: it would just be too easy to pastebin my 9.10 file to you ;-) | 04:54 |
| linagee | daddysmurf: can't you just set up mutt to check your gmail? there's no reason to set up a server | 04:54 |
| lullabud | buttons840: to reset your sources.list | 04:54 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, that is fine | 04:54 |
| lullabud | it's actually something i've wanted to do, but didnt' know how, and your issue reminded me. | 04:55 |
| masu3701 | linagee: i dont see it.. | 04:55 |
| linagee | Debian911: ideas: should have gotten an iLO or a DRAC | 04:55 |
| daddysmurf | linagee, IdleOne: this is really just kind of another attempt at learning, combined with as step of a larger project | 04:55 |
| Debian911 | linagee: > | 04:55 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, a command to restore a default file? wouldn't that require a default file being stored elsewhere? | 04:55 |
| linagee | Debian911: greater than? | 04:55 |
| Debian911 | linagee: was meant to say ? | 04:56 |
| lullabud | buttons840: yes. just like dpkg-reconfigure can restore default configs | 04:56 |
| linagee | Debian911: iLO = HP's remote console. DRAC is Dell's. | 04:56 |
| Thundarr | **clocks ahead one hour tonight.*** | 04:56 |

| linagee | Thundarr: my computer takes care of things like that. | 04:56 |
| === felipe__ is now known as felipe_crimson | ||
| Thundarr | does your computer take care of the time in your car? your microwave? your watch? | 04:57 |
| daddysmurf | in the end, I'd like to be able to run my own domain's mail, as well as funnel any and all outside sources to my hardware, then possible set it up on a laptop for when I go on vacation and have spotty connection. Then I'll take the laptop down to mcd's and by the end of a small fry, I can take my mail back to wherever I am and read it interweb-free :D | 04:57 |
| Thundarr | the clocks around your house? your bedside alarm? | 04:57 |
| linagee | Thundarr: car, yes (GPS). microwave - it's recently broke :(. my watch - what's a watch? do you mean my phone which also automatically updates? | 04:57 |
| daddysmurf | Thundarr: aren't all those things just small computers? | 04:57 |
| linagee | Thundarr: what's a bedside alarm? do you mean my phone? | 04:58 |
| Debian911 | linagee: well unfort. im stuck with this atm, was wondering if anyone were fimiular with SSD | 04:58 |
| Thundarr | wow you people are arrogant pricks. | 04:58 |
| IdleOne | !attitude | Thundarr | 04:58 |
| ubottu | Thundarr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 04:58 |
| daddysmurf | Thundarr: not arrogant, just obnoxious and sarcastic. I thought it was funny | 04:58 |
| linagee | Thundarr: the clocks around my house all sync to atomic clocks | 04:58 |

| linagee | daddysmurf: having a phone that replaces a watch and alarm clock? I know many people that are at least that geeky | 04:59 |
| tsccof | I love my Nokia 6220 Classic :D | 04:59 |

| lullabud | Thundarr: haha, what do you use for an alarm clock? | 05:00 |
| Thundarr | an actual alarm clock | 05:00 |
| linagee | Thundarr: rich people take the extra time to maintain multiple devices? | 05:00 |
| Preposteruss | alarm clocks are for poor people | 05:00 |
| daddysmurf | my phone does not replace my vcr :) | 05:00 |
| lullabud | Thundarr: that's so 80's ;-) | 05:00 |
| Thundarr | hence the term 'alarm clock' | 05:00 |
| tsccof | I have both | 05:00 |

| elmakaru_22 | a tv online site plss can you help me? | 05:00 |
| linagee | Preposteruss: no. if you get your alarm clock at rent-a-center, then you're poor. :) | 05:00 |
| lullabud | lol | 05:00 |
| linagee | Preposteruss: making monthly payments on an alarm clock. ROFL | 05:01 |
| daddysmurf | the new Sony-buntu Dream Machine with htop! | 05:01 |
| linagee | (using their credit card to make those payments too) | 05:01 |

| Preposteruss | 400 a month... | 05:01 |
| Roasted | Is there any way I can install the new "light" theme that's coming to lucid on karmic?? | 05:01 |
| linagee | Preposteruss: I can buy a multi-purpose phone for that much. :) | 05:01 |
| buttons840 | lullabud, thank you | 05:01 |
| Debian911 | So currently no way to realign SSDs without a wipe occuring on drives? | 05:01 |
| lullabud | buttons840: np | 05:02 |
| Preposteruss | yeah, i spent half that on my phone | 05:02 |
| Preposteruss | and it runs debian | 05:02 |
| linagee | Debian911: yes | 05:02 |
| tsccof | Roasted: it is located somewhere in lucid, not sure where though, I do not use GNOME | 05:02 |
| linagee | Debian911: go to the site. make a backup. redo things. :) | 05:02 |
| linagee | Debian911: that is a way | 05:02 |
| Debian911 | linagee: haha I wish :) | 05:02 |
| Roasted | tscof I have lucid alpha 3 installed in a VM, and I dont see it anywhere - I still have the human theme... | 05:02 |
| tsccof | Roasted: you simply need to take the files and move them to /home/user/.themes/ | 05:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: its avail for download at several ubuntu blog/news sites.. but the theme basically stinks. :) | 05:02 |
| linagee | Debian911: if the site is too far, use the server monkies or iLO/DRAC. | 05:02 |
| === roscogruen is now known as J_Rey | ||
| daddysmurf | I've always wondered why *buntu/suse/fedora/etc have version numbers, when it's really the individual software that changes | 05:03 |
| linagee | Debian911: if there are no server monkies or iLO/DRAC, then it really isn't a server. it's a fail-in-a-box | 05:03 |
| lullabud | <3 drac | 05:03 |
| tsccof | Roasted: try http://gnome-look.org | 05:03 |
| === J_Rey is now known as oops | ||
| masu3701 | linagee: i think you can only remote desktop into pc on the same network | 05:03 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, it really doesn't, but I wouldn't mind a link or some sort of direction on where I can try it out. | 05:03 |
| masu3701 | so i guess that is the reason why he cant get access | 05:03 |
| === oops is now known as BigNike | ||
| linagee | masu3701: do you have NAT set up? do you have a router? learn2route | 05:03 |
| daddysmurf | masu3701: ssh with tunnel is a damn thing :) | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: ive been using it - yes it does.. i think one site i saw it at was webupd8 or somthing lke that | 05:04 |
| saganbyte | Hello | 05:04 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, what dont you like about it? | 05:04 |
| masu3701 | linagee: i do have a router... | 05:04 |
| === BigNike is now known as rosco | ||
| saganbyte | If i edit the hosts file in etc/... and then reboot... when i do hostname -f, its says Unknown Host.. what could i be doing wrong | 05:04 |
| linagee | masu3701: and how is your friend trying to use it? with your public IP? | 05:04 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, actually I just installed the PPA from webupd8 but I don't know where the theme is at... | 05:04 |
| linagee | masu3701: do you have the port correctly forwarded on the router? | 05:05 |
| masu3701 | linagee: we try both | 05:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: same problems most of the blogs say.. butons are hard to see and the put them on the left side is a total pain. | 05:05 |
| linagee | masu3701: do you even want to take the risk of having on open VNC port on the internet | 05:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: since you used the ppa the buttons may or may not be on the left side. If they are not.. they will be in the wrong order. | 05:05 |
| masu3701 | linagee: what will tht do? | 05:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: i think its called radience or somthing like that | 05:05 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, I wish I could tell, but I dont have the theme PERIOD. | 05:05 |
| linagee | masu3701: nothing. until you are hacked. | 05:05 |
| Roasted | oh... | 05:05 |
| Roasted | let me look | 05:05 |
| masu3701 | linagee: lol | 05:05 |
| Dr_Willis | The whole way themes work in Gnome is showing that it needs work.. but with the next gnome3 stuff.. i imagine all the old themes will be useless :) | 05:06 |
| Roasted | wow, this does suck | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: told ya. | 05:06 |
| Roasted | I just threw up in my mouth | 05:06 |
| Dr_Willis | if you set the buttons to the left like they want.. it looks ok.. for some windows.. and nasty for others. | 05:07 |
| Roasted | what about the darker one that was on the display site? | 05:07 |
| Freak007 | Hi, could anyone help me. I think I know how to fix my problem but I can't quite carry it out. The problem is Window corruption with older ATI graphics cards. I found the fix for this in the release notes, but I lack the programming skills to carry it out completely. | 05:07 |
| Dr_Willis | theres other themes out i belive Roasted - some sites have them for download, or check the gnome-look and art sites. | 05:07 |
| linagee | Freak007: the fix is to buy a newer graphics card | 05:07 |
| masu3701 | linagee: so is there another program that will allow to remote desktop from outside the network? | 05:07 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, meh. maybe I'll just stuck with human blue lucid I found on gnomelook... | 05:07 |
| Roasted | it looked so much better in screenshots | 05:08 |
| linagee | masu3701: ???? | 05:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: i always use one of a few differnt themes.. that i like. | 05:08 |
| linagee | masu3701: open a port on your router to connect in to a PC on your network | 05:08 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, whats your favorite? | 05:08 |
| linagee | masu3701: are you using DD-WRT? | 05:08 |
| masu3701 | linagee: dont know what that is | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: ones that have the X button in a differnt color. and are easy on the eyes. | 05:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: and the window handles in a different color | 05:09 |
| linagee | Freak007: if a good programmer's time is worth $100/hr and if it takes even one hour to solve the problem, why would you not have bought a $100 graphics card instead? | 05:09 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, what do you mean the window handles in a different color? You mean at the top of each window? kind of like how the default human theme is? | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: at the bottom right/left | 05:10 |
| lullabud | masu3701: there are a bunch of tips for remote desktop in here - http://lifehacker.com/tag/remote-computing/ | 05:10 |
| amanu | hello | 05:10 |
| tsccof | hello :_ | 05:10 |
| tsccof | :) | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: like in the bluecurve theme i think | 05:10 |
| Roasted | Dr_Willis, not sure I know what you mean... | 05:10 |
| Freak007 | There is a fix in the Ubuntu release notes, it an old computer, and I know that I can fix it I just don't understand some of the command details | 05:10 |
| Kamokow | Is there a way to make it so that when a new thing gets added to my desktop, it goes to the first open spot? Like, how can i make it so things that are named the same, dont go back to the spot they previously were? | 05:11 |
| linagee | lullabud: does that show how to set up a port forward when you don't even know how to work your router? | 05:11 |
| lullabud | linagee: it shows alternatives to such a complex situation | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: go look at themes/screen shots then | 05:11 |
| Eronarn_ | I'm having difficulties setting up xrandr with (identical) dual monitors on my new system. One is on DVI, and one is on VGA. No setting that I've tried has actually turned on the VGA one even though it shows up in xrandr, it shows up in Display Preferences and isn't off, etc. Am I missing something obvious here? | 05:11 |
| amanu | some one using fedra there now? | 05:11 |
| linagee | lullabud: I can't see how one document would account for thousands of different types of routers. :) | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted: the corners of the windows have 2 handles of a different color | 05:11 |
| lullabud | linagee: there are alternatives to port-forwarding... | 05:11 |
| linagee | lullabud: open a VPN? hah | 05:12 |

| lullabud | linagee: even skype for linux has screen sharing built in, and it doesn't require port forwarding. | 05:14 |
| greezmunkey | amit1_, are you using Network Manager? | 05:15 |
| lullabud | - http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ | 05:15 |

| amit1_ | yes, the standard tool for ubuntu | 05:15 |
| linagee | lullabud: wtf is "sharing built in" | 05:15 |
| linagee | lullabud: skype does not require port forwarding for different reasons | 05:15 |
| lullabud | linagee: as in, out-of-the-box screen sharing capabilities. | 05:15 |
| amit1_ | I have an option to "configure vpn" | 05:15 |
| om26er | !language | linagee | 05:15 |
| linagee | lullabud: they use their own servers as a go-between | 05:15 |
| amit1_ | but the "add" button is grayed out in the VPN tab | 05:16 |
| lullabud | linagee: exactly. i was explaining how screen sharing can function without resorting to port forwarding, which is useful when people dont' know how to configure their routers | 05:16 |
| ubottu | linagee: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 05:16 |
| greezmunkey | amit1_: NM will only allow you to create a vpn if NM manages the network interface. You probably need to clear /etc/network/interfaces (comment everything except lo) | 05:16 |
| lullabud | linagee: for configuring routers, portforward.com is the best solution | 05:16 |
| linagee | om26er: wtf is not allowed? what the freak | 05:16 |

| om26er | linagee, I read there are plans to backport firefox 3.6 for karmic and even back users | 05:24 |

| om26er | damian, bug 389766 | 05:42 |
| eyce | I used the Kubuntu live CD. It booted into it perfectly. Then I logged into my wireless connection and it asked me if I wanted to download the nvidia driver. So I said, "yes". And it did it. Perfect. | 05:42 |
| om26er | damian, might be this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/389766 | 05:42 |
| eyce | So then I told it to go ahead and install kubuntu. And it did... clean install on my harddrive. | 05:43 |
| eyce | When I restarted the computer, it did not start X, instead I'm in the console. | 05:43 |
| damian | thanks, Ill look into it. Can't use it for desktop Icons until I figure it out | 05:43 |
| eyce | This is because the nvidia module was missing and the nvidia driver needed to be installed again. | 05:43 |
| eyce | But I can't download it because my wireless is not working in console mode so it can't download the drivers. | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | damian: right the Pinboard feature of ROX filer that does the desktop icons doesent workhere.. or in 10.04 ive noticed | 05:44 |
| eyce | Is there a way to just transfer all the settings to the post-install? | 05:45 |
| soreau | eyce: What wireless card is it? | 05:47 |
| damian | ok then lol, is there any desktop file managers that won't take over the desktop like nautalus? | 05:47 |
| nathaniel | if im in mozilla trying to manage plugins, im inable to change from this swfdecoder swf player which wont even play youtube or the like style videos | 05:48 |
| damian | I'm tinkering with openbox and want to keep my rightclick settings wich get's lost with nautalus | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | damian: ROX filer does NOT take over the desktop unless you tell it to use its pinboard feature | 05:48 |
| nathaniel | for a short time i had a working configuration with adobe flash player | 05:48 |
| Dr_Willis | nautilus also has an option to not take over the desktop i recall | 05:48 |
| abhi_nav | hi | 05:49 |
| nathaniel | now in add ons and software center i have ubuntu extention and add on for firefox | 05:49 |
| abhi_nav | madjoe: you there? | 05:49 |
| damian | lost my connection for a min | 05:49 |
| GodfatherofEire | Quick question, if there's a package that's basically skipped a distro, which version should I install, the one from the older or the one from the newer distro | 05:50 |
| abhi_nav | i am also loosing my connectin in xchat since last two weeks | 05:50 |
| damian_ | the rox pin feature isn't working in ubuntu 9.10 | 05:50 |
| === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat | ||
| damian_ | er 64 bit | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | damian_: its not working in 10.04 either | 05:50 |

| abhi_nav | what is that rox pin? | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rox pinboard = the 'desktiop icon feature' of rox filer | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rox --pinboard=default | 05:51 |
| abhi_nav | hmm | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | to tryit out on a window maanger. GNOME may confluict withit | 05:51 |
| downix | trying the latest reboot | 05:51 |
| downix | crossing fingers that I can get it to load | 05:51 |
| damian | putting file icons on the desktop, what nautalus does in standard systems | 05:51 |
| damian | ok Ill try it :) | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | try what? You are not trying to use the pinbiard in gnome are you? | 05:52 |
| downix | As ever, no boot device found | 05:53 |
| damian | yes I am Dr_Willis, but the pin feature isn't working, so I have to try another manager instead | 05:53 |
| downix | GRUB is on disk1, but the system boots off of disk0 | 05:53 |
| linagee | cool. 10.04 development release is already out there | 05:54 |
| * linagee plays with it | 05:54 | |
| Dr_Willis | in gnome the pinbiard and Nautilus will confluct.. | 05:54 |
| GodfatherofEire | Quick question, if there's a package that's basically skipped a distro, which version should I install, the one from the older or the one from the newer distro? (specifically, trayer, which had a release for Jaunty, and has one for Lucid, but nothing for Karmic) | 05:55 |
| eyce | soreau: looking that up.. just a second, thanks | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | GodfatherofEire: i wouldsay neither.. use source or find a PPA | 05:56 |
| linagee | I wonder what alpha/development mean? lol. barely working? | 05:56 |

| abhi_nav | linagee: hmm | 05:57 |
| Obeyence | Ok i have been googling and forum crawling for aprox 9 hours... | 05:57 |
| Obeyence | Im trying to figure out how to use wine... | 05:57 |
| linagee | downix: "new things that actually work way better than old things. just don't fall into the potholes." :) | 05:57 |
| Dougdoug4 | Wine is common sense, what specifically about it is troubling you Obeyence? | 05:57 |
| Losha | linagee: there's often no 'official' definition. It means that someone took a look at it and said "it's not ready..." | 05:58 |
| downix | still no boot | 05:58 |
| downix | this is tiresome | 05:58 |
| Obeyence | Application tried to create a window, but no driver coudl be loaded. Make sure that your x server is running and that $display is set correctly. | 05:58 |
| Obeyence | I havefound 0 info for this on linux | 05:58 |
| Dougdoug4 | And that is happening as your trying to install Wine? Or using a program with Wine? | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: wine windoesapp.exe normally | 05:59 |
| Obeyence | use a program | 05:59 |
| Dougdoug4 | What program? | 05:59 |
| kinja-sheep | Obeyence: Details. | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: you are at the gnome desktop now? | 05:59 |
| Obeyence | wine DXSETUP.exe | 05:59 |
| Obeyence | = that error | 05:59 |
| kinja-sheep | Obeyence: DirectX? o.O | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | you normally DONT want to run direct X setup in wine | 05:59 |
| Obeyence | really.. anything i put into terminal that is using the wine command. | 05:59 |
| Dr_Willis | wine notepad.exe | 06:00 |
| Obeyence | Cant play Stalker without it right? | 06:00 |
| * linagee runs off to get some wendy's | 06:00 | |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: wine can fake directx | 06:00 |
| Obeyence | same error | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | Obeyence | 06:00 |
| ubottu | Obeyence: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: you do need togive the proper path to the exe also | 06:00 |
| Obeyence | I dont believe this is a simple fix. | 06:01 |
| Obeyence | As i have been going on and on about this for about 9 hours... | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | what fix? | 06:01 |
| Dr_Willis | you mean the give the proper path? | 06:01 |
| Obeyence | no | 06:01 |
| Obeyence | i understand proper pathing... | 06:01 |
| Obeyence | If you are cd'ed to the folder you can syntax it with no directory path... correct? | 06:02 |
| Obeyence | I dont know what this X server or $display is | 06:02 |
| Dr_Willis | yes should be able to | 06:02 |
| Blaine_ | if I install a package from source and then install the same package with apt-get, are there any steps I need to take to ensure things don't get squashed or conflict? | 06:02 |
| === jacob_ is now known as dougdoug4 | ||
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: if you are on the gnome desktop it shoudl hage $DISPLAY allready set | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | not $display | 06:03 |
| Obeyence | Yes im not capsing it for ease of typing. | 06:03 |
| Obeyence | Im on a laptop atm that has a crap keyboard | 06:03 |
| Obeyence | hence styoes and stuff | 06:03 |
| GodfatherofEire | Odd. I'm building the package from source, and it's telling me to run ./configure, but when I go to do that it says there's no file by that name | 06:04 |
| Obeyence | Im trying to play stalker 3 | 06:04 |
| Obeyence | =\ | 06:04 |
| Obeyence | I have been trying to play this game for 3 days now | 06:04 |
| Losha | Blaine_: in general, the apt-get package will just overwrite the source installed one, and it will be just as if the source install had never happened....... | 06:04 |
| downix | trying lilo | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | if DISPLAY is not set. then inthory anything you try to run from that terminal wont display properly try a command like 'gnome-terminal' | 06:04 |
| Obeyence | What id Xserve? | 06:04 |
| Obeyence | X server | 06:04 |
| Dr_Willis | X is the core of teh GUI | 06:04 |
| abhi_nav | GodfatherofEire manualy check and make sure that the configure file is there or not | 06:05 |
| GodfatherofEire | abhi_nav, I did | 06:05 |
| Blaine_ | I assume I'd have to use --prefix when building from source | 06:05 |
| Obeyence | cannot open display: | 06:05 |
| GodfatherofEire | There isn't one | 06:05 |
| Obeyence | when i enter that command | 06:05 |
| AndChat- | Try automakers. | 06:05 |
| AndChat- | Err | 06:06 |
| abhi_nav | GodfatherofEire read the file called "Readme.txt" and follow the instruction | 06:06 |
| AndChat- | automake | 06:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: so lets start from the beginning.. You LOGIN via GDM to get to the gnome Desktop. You open a terminal. You Shouldbe able to run 'gnome-terminal' and otehr apps and $DISPLAY should be set properly | 06:06 |
| GodfatherofEire | abhi_nav, I know, thats what I was doing | 06:06 |

| roscogruen | Dr_Willis, & downix the trick to fix screen resolution w/o using liveCD or anything was to simply to use buttons on monitor to "auto adjust" | 06:07 |
| GodfatherofEire | AndChat-: wouldnt that basically just spit out the same makefile as what I already have? | 06:07 |
| Losha | GodfatherofEire: See http://www.airs.com/ian/configure/ | 06:08 |
| downix | roscogruen, not every monitor offers that | 06:08 |
| Obeyence | ok logged back in | 06:08 |
| AndChat- | Maybe autoconf too. Then ./configure. | 06:08 |
| Obeyence | ok it worked now | 06:09 |
| AndChat- | Autoconf creates ./configure which creates the Makefile. | 06:09 |
| GodfatherofEire | I already have a Makefile in the folder | 06:09 |
| === roscogruen is now known as jellybelly | ||
| AndChat- | What happens when you type make? | 06:10 |
| GodfatherofEire | Says to run ./configure first, although if thats what generates the Makefile, why would they include it? | 06:10 |
| AndChat- | Maybe because they accidentally shipped it with a Makefile. | 06:11 |
| GodfatherofEire | Might be | 06:11 |
| Losha | GodfatherofEire: configure also generates header files and such. I assume that's what the Makefile checks for... | 06:11 |
| AndChat- | Try make. Can't hurt anything. | 06:12 |

| wolf2k_ubuntu | a few others | 06:19 |
| AndChat- | But nothing else? | 06:19 |
| enzotib | lordganehs: you should mount also /proc, like /dev | 06:19 |
| Losha | wolf2k_ubuntu: it sounds like a dns problem. How do you get dns on your ubuntu vm? | 06:19 |
| phrost | lordganehs: try mount -t proc /proc | 06:19 |
| AndChat- | Try the host command. | 06:19 |
| Myrtti | goddard: which part don't you understand? | 06:20 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | AndChat-: If I understood how to use the host command, I'd do so. | 06:20 |
| phrost | lordganehs: or rather mount -t proc /mnt/proc before you chroot it | 06:20 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | If it matters, ubuntu.com doesn't work for me on this VM right now | 06:20 |
| goddard | How things are effected in my system when I update | 06:20 |

| Myrtti | goddard: are you worried about a certain app? | 06:21 |
| goddard | Myrtti sometimes I compile my own drivers but when I update they go away and sometimes it changes certain aspects of my system | 06:21 |
| Obeyence | ANyone feel like baby sitting a newbie? | 06:21 |
| Obeyence | =\ | 06:21 |

| abhi_nav | Karmic: what happends? | 06:21 |
| meowbuntu | has anyone used squid on ubuntu before | 06:22 |

| wolf2k_ubuntu | Will a restart of the VM fix this? | 06:23 |
| goddard | Myrtti will it compile just the same or with kernal changes with it not work during the compliation process? | 06:23 |
| AndChat- | Try it. | 06:23 |
| wolf2k_ubuntu | alright, brb | 06:24 |
| goddard | Myrtti because I followed specific directions to get it compiled and if I update will I have to do different steps is what I mean. Sorry I am new | 06:24 |
| Myrtti | goddard: say again? | 06:24 |
| Losha | Thundarr: it's ok. but it has an unfixed day one bug that makes it hang on very large binaries. I liked klibido better personally... | 06:25 |
| Myrtti | goddard: the same steps should work, I guesss | 06:25 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | I'm having trouble getting sound playback to switch from my onboard audio to my USB headset. The other day I had trouble getting my webcam mic to work too. Seems like the sound system is buggy or something is wrong. The test sounds work fine out of the headset when I switch it to play through it. Totem and VLC wont play movie audio through them though. Any logic in this? I even tried removing pulseaudio and still didnt help. | 06:33 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | Im on 9.04 | 06:33 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, i can see it does explane about them. i understand that part. its just the commands underneth that put me of. nothing clarly says email, etc | 06:34 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | It plays through onboard audio no matter what I select with System->Prefs->Sound. | 06:34 |
| Andorin | phrost: Yes, we have the headers. | 06:34 |
| keepguessing | timc: I see it coming and crashing again .. I am using windows 7 | 06:35 |
| phrost | odd, the asm/semaphore.h its looking for should be part of kernel headers | 06:35 |
| keepguessing | timc: When I siad coming up I meant it was listed in the task manger process list and then disappears | 06:35 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: output_email clearly wants an email address to send mail to (does outgoing mail work on your system?). mail_utility mailx can be left as-is, just make sure mailx is installed (sudo apt-get install mailx) | 06:35 |
| MrD__ | I'm trying to change the login screen. I open System >> Administration >> Login Screen and there is nothing there that lets me install a theme | 06:35 |
| lordganehs | phrost: still same error http://paste.ubuntu.com/394967/ | 06:36 |
| MrD__ | just options to auto login | 06:36 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, if it just says from email address, to email address, pop infomation etc then i would know | 06:36 |
| meowbuntu | losha i use gmail webmail | 06:36 |
| Andorin | phrost: Perhaps the driver is incompatible with 2.6.31? According to the webcam compatibility page on the Ubuntu wiki, the entry for her cam (and the link to the driver) was provided for Gutsy. That's quite a while ago. | 06:37 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Is pulseaudio supposed to stream audio to all connected audio devices all at once or not? | 06:37 |
| timc | keepguessing: tried running it in Compatibility mode (XP or vista)? | 06:37 |
| phrost | Andorin: that'd be my guess, your path said 2007 which is 3 years behind the OS | 06:37 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: first, you need to be able to send outgoing emails from your system. I recommend installing ssmtp and using http://wiki.debian.org/sSMTP to configure it. Once that's working, you can just use your email address in the sarg.conf file... | 06:38 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, i understand i can get sarg to send a report through pop but nothing in there mentions that. | 06:38 |
| Andorin | phrost: This would be a problem, then, unless there is another way to get her cam working. | 06:38 |
| phrost | lordganehs: is your /boot on another partition? did you mount it inside the chroot too? | 06:39 |
| lordganehs | no | 06:39 |
| keepguessing | timc: tried both does not work :( | 06:39 |
| ChogyDan | Andorin: why did you do sudo make? | 06:39 |
| Andorin | ChogyDan: Don't you have to? | 06:39 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: actually, it works like this: sarg -> mailx -> ssmtp -> gmail. So setup ssmtp first, per the above, ok? | 06:40 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, sarg does not need ssmtp. it works by itself. when i used thunderbird it could send email easily. | 06:40 |
| ChogyDan | Andorin: no, it is just make. Have you tried gstreamer-properties? | 06:40 |
| MrD__ | ok, the problem is that I do not have Login Window, I have Login Screen | 06:40 |
| lordganehs | phrost: i have boot in same partition , i tried this previously and it worked well | 06:40 |
| MrD__ | how can I get Login Window (one lets you change the behavior and one lets you do behavior + appearance) | 06:40 |
| phrost | lordganehs: does it say anything in dmesg? | 06:41 |
| meowbuntu | i never saw that in the info about sarg. sarg sends reports generated by squid. | 06:41 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: thunderbird is a mail client, sarg is not. That's why it needs mailx/ssmtp. Feel free to ask for a 2nd opinion on this. I won't be offended... | 06:41 |
| enzotib | lordganehs: mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys | 06:41 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Please could someone explain why totem and vlc are not picking up on gnome-sound-properties changes for playback devices? The test sounds are going to the correctly selected audio device but the players are not. | 06:41 |

| Galois1 | I need some help with getting the cisco vpn to work... | 06:42 |
| Andorin | Okay, everyone who was just helping me: Turns out we were trying to install the wrong driver, as she has a different camera than we thought. This one is supposed to work out of the box, and she's going to reboot her computer (she updated it earlier without rebooting). | 06:43 |
| === jellybelly is now known as alienRupp | ||
| phrost | Andorin: lol have fun | 06:43 |
| sunblade0 | hi | 06:43 |
| Andorin | phrost: It struck me that it can't be a missing driver since she said it SORT OF worked in cheese, so I had her lsusb to see the exact model of the camera | 06:44 |
| Andorin | And it turns out we had it wrong xD | 06:44 |
| lordganehs | enzotib: phrost: still same error | 06:44 |
| Galois1 | the network-manager-vpnc app says authentication failed and the command line says login unsuccessful | 06:44 |
| sunblade0 | Does somebody have exp with sony PS3? | 06:44 |
| ChogyDan | Andorin: yeah, if it works in cheese at all, then you have the driver | 06:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Dumb stuff like this just brings me closer to going and buying Windows. | 06:45 |
| Callum__ | Hi, I've got a HP OfficeJet V40 connected to one of my Ubuntu machines that is acting as a print server... its an HP so its detected and all that, and Windows machines connecting to it by Samba (which means Windows uses its own drivers to print to it...) can print fine, but Linux machines (including the machine itself) can't print to it and the only sort of printing that it will accept from a Linux machine is the "Self-Test Print Page". Anyone have any id | 06:45 |

| ChogyDan | !lamp | atif | 06:47 |
| ubottu | atif: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 06:47 |

| atif | what is a stack? a package? | 06:51 |
| ChogyDan | yharrow: what happens? | 06:52 |
| MrD__ | I cant find xsplash either | 06:52 |
| yharrow | it pretends its connecting then drops the connection | 06:52 |
| yshavit | atif: a stack is all of the applications that a given application uses. | 06:52 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, i understand. it just says set up the config adn its done. but how do i ??? | 06:52 |
| Dr_Willis | what do you mean Find? its installed by default | 06:52 |
| yharrow | @ ChogyDan | 06:52 |
| ChogyDan | atif: it is just the collection of applications | 06:52 |
| MrD__ | where? | 06:52 |
| atif | thanks guys | 06:52 |
| yshavit | atif: for instance, the "LAMP stack" is Linux + Apache + MySql + PHP, which all together can host a web page | 06:52 |

| Name141 | Or the next release of Ubuntu that is ? | 06:57 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: Those are directives that say what appears in the reports. Nothing to do with sending them via email... | 06:57 |
| yharrow | ChogyDan, dunno if this helps but last time my keyring was empty. this time i entered a password to the keyring | 06:57 |
| Obeyence | all im seeing are fixes for windows... | 06:57 |
| yshavit | atif: hm, good luck... personally I'd be scared of doing that, since opening Apache connection to the world requires, I think, some knowledge of security settings and all that. | 06:57 |

| yshavit | But don't take my word on it. | 06:57 |
| ChogyDan | yharrow: hmm, yeah, that;s weird | 06:57 |
| ChogyDan | Obeyence: whats the problem? | 06:58 |
| Obeyence | Wine | 06:58 |
| Obeyence | i guess | 06:58 |
| meowbuntu | losha there is another application that works beter called netresponsability. | 06:58 |
| Obeyence | or user error | 06:58 |
| Obeyence | ive been trying to play this game (stalker cop) for days. | 06:58 |
| meowbuntu | Losha, but that uses ruby and hogs 75-100% of my cpu | 06:58 |
| Obeyence | Windows wouldnt let me do it because the parental control settings are not changable on my install.... | 06:58 |
| ChogyDan | Obeyence: you may have to talk to the wine folks | 06:59 |
| Andorin | ChogyDan: She says that when she clicks Test to test her video output, without changing settings, the cam works fine in that little window that pops up. But it doesn't work in Cheese. I guess the cam itself is fine? | 06:59 |
| ChogyDan | Andorin: yep | 06:59 |
| Dr_Willis | parental controlls ? :) heh | 06:59 |
| Losha | meowbuntu: that's up to you. You could have had sarg reports via email up and working by now.... | 06:59 |

| robert__ | i installed the software sources and authentication key, but its still not in the repos | 07:16 |
| Obeyence | yes, the errors that people get are after they load into the game. They are able to play for a few min then crash. | 07:16 |
| brjann | bbelt16ag: we'd need to know more about your symptoms before we could answer that. | 07:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: if the game devs made a linux installer you don't need wine as the game will run native like frets on fire or tux racing | 07:16 |

| bbelt16ag | well i use the 'network tool to set my default profile then it works fine then i reboot and i no longer have DNS when i log back in.. and have to use the network tool to set the default profile again | 07:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Robert__: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search gyach | 07:17 |
| robert__ | could it be because i'm using lucid alpha? | 07:17 |
| robert__ | oh ok thanks | 07:17 |

| ActionParsnip | !lucid | robert__ | 07:18 |
| Obeyence | And why is it giving me an error. | 07:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: snoopcat on that thread - gives steps he did.. he also says to use wine 1.1.37 | 07:18 |
| Obeyence | Thats th epoint in which the game stops working... its at the splash screen.. not in the game. | 07:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: have you asked in #winehq | 07:18 |
| robert__ | oh now with the +1 police lol | 07:18 |
| ubottu | robert__: 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 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 07:18 |
| Obeyence | yeah. i have tried all that, cept the wine regression. I dont knwo how to do that. | 07:18 |
| Obeyence | But still | 07:18 |
| Obeyence | the game doesnt even run. | 07:18 |

| === dane is now known as Dane | ||
| Obeyence | WHat is the issue that you are trying to help me resolve by regressing or installing these other things. | 07:20 |
| robert__ | yeah true | 07:20 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: the wine forums say you MUST use a soecific version of wine. | 07:21 |
| Obeyence | Currently, i can run notepad and installs and thigns of tha tnatures. | 07:21 |
| brjann | bbelt16ag: that's the same program. so you edit the wired connection, set it to static IP and add an address and DNS servers, and it remembers the IP after reboot but not the DNS server? | 07:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: for that game t5o work | 07:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: have you seen this: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb | 07:21 |
| Obeyence | For that game "not to crash" | 07:21 |
| Obeyence | it randomly crashes if you use .38 | 07:22 |
| Obeyence | im trying to get INTO the game | 07:22 |
| Obeyence | i dont care if it crashes | 07:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: snoopcat on that thread - gives steps he did.. he also says to use wine 1.1.37 | 07:22 |
| Obeyence | then i can just regress | 07:22 |

| Dr_Willis | Obeyence: thats all i know on the topic. good luck - if you have a more specifc question feel free to ask it. | 07:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: is the app fully updated/patched? | 07:23 |
| Obeyence | No. | 07:23 |
| Obeyence | Its not and it wont be. | 07:23 |
| bbelt16ag | it wont seti t to my profile i made | 07:23 |
| bbelt16ag | i have a profile i created and i set that and it fixes it.. | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: does the appdb says you need a later patch of the game to run, or some later dlls | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | Now.. if you scroll up... a long long way | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | you will see a lnk that i hand tyed out | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | i didnt do that for fun | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | Im tring to show you my error | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: well I would but my client only scrolls 30 lines, so no I cant | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | Or at least where the error is coming from | 07:24 |
| brjann | bbelt16ag: you have more than one profile in the wired connections tab? so it's just that it's selecting the wrong one at login, is that right? | 07:24 |
| Obeyence | oh god i hate this | 07:25 |
| Obeyence | sigh here i go again | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | most irc clients have a history that you can uparrow to get back to... | 07:25 |
| Dr_Willis | so no need to retype stuff over and over. | 07:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Obeyence: you problem is very wine specific so id ask in #winehq | 07:26 |

| Dr_Willis | unetbootin makes it fat32 i recal | 07:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | ddrj, fat or fat32 - but if you're using USB Creator doesn't it format for you? | 07:45 |
| ddrj | mine didn't ;\\ | 07:46 |
| ddrj | and it didn't even make the partition active | 07:46 |
| ddrj | i had to use diskpart.exe to make it active ;\\ | 07:46 |
| ddrj | ok formatting it as fat now | 07:47 |

| Dougdoug4 | because it just spams me so hard.. And i don't know where cheese files are located | 08:25 |
| robert__ | we've established something here lol | 08:25 |
| meowbuntu | robert__, what exactly is that | 08:25 |
| oztrout | hello ... i got a problem with secondlife here , every time i go in there a few mins later my laptop turns off ... any one know why ... ? | 08:25 |
| robert__ | cheese cheese cheese 1000 pictures lol | 08:26 |

| meowbuntu | robert__, dont go on | 08:26 |
| meowbuntu | reinstall | 08:26 |
| robert__ | ok lol jk | 08:26 |
| clrg | oztrout: If you think the problem comes from secondlife, then you're asking the wrong channel | 08:26 |
| Dougdoug4 | i've already reinstalled you dolt | 08:26 |
| brjann | !lol | 08:27 |
| ubottu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 08:27 |
| Dougdoug4 | nothing has changed | 08:27 |
| Dougdoug4 | meowbuntu and robert__ please just shutup.. | 08:27 |
| Dougdoug4 | brjann what should I do? | 08:27 |
| robert__ | ok i'm laughing out loud and kidding | 08:27 |
| robert__ | how bout no | 08:27 |
| clrg | !flood | Dougdoug4, robert__ | 08:27 |

| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, have you installed anything else | 08:27 |
| meowbuntu | ^ recently | 08:27 |
| oztrout | ok ty ... sorry , i thought it might be ubuntu here ... | 08:27 |
| robert__ | yeah don't flood laughing out loud | 08:28 |
| brjann | Dougdoug4: I've never used cheese, sorry -- just spent a few minutes looking for reported bugs similar to yours with no luck | 08:28 |
| clrg | Dougdoug4, robert__: This rule also applies to multi-line-statements. Please write your statement to one line using puncuation marks. | 08:28 |
| robert__ | ok.... | 08:28 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, also ask in forums is always a good idea. | 08:28 |
| Dougdoug4 | But what the hell could be causing this problem? | 08:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | meowbuntu holy #%!% | 08:29 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, have you installed anything else recently on your computer | 08:29 |
| robert__ | this can also be a good place to ask questions while you're looking in forums | 08:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | I've been sifting through forums this entire time! Please just SHUTUP! | 08:29 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, i am trying to help | 08:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | i need to figure out where the Cheese files are located.. That would be a start | 08:29 |
| meowbuntu | !rude | 08:29 |
| Dougdoug4 | Let's pretend like your a mechanic, okay? I've come to you telling you my car won't start, alright? | 08:30 |
| Dougdoug4 | And as the mechanic, your asking me if "i've driven it recently" | 08:30 |
| Dougdoug4 | Come on man.. really? | 08:30 |
| clrg | Dougdoug4: The cheese man-page or the wiki of the projekt developing it will get you an answer. This channel is about ubuntu, not about a specific application. | 08:30 |
| clrg | Sorry | 08:30 |
| xsacha | hey, how can i configure my logitech usb webcam on ubuntu? specifically i want to change it to 50Hz instead of the default 60Hz | 08:30 |
| clrg | Dougdoug4: The cheese man-page or the wiki of the projekt developing it will get you an answer. This channel is about ubuntu, not about a specific application. | 08:30 |
| Dougdoug4 | Link me to a Cheese web page then dog | 08:30 |
| Dougdoug4 | All I find when I google 'Cheese Webcam booth' is PPAs | 08:31 |
| xsacha | i guess it would be some v4l configure app | 08:31 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, if you installed something else on your computer before this problem started then that may have caused cheese to play up. | 08:31 |
| Dougdoug4 | yea i've installed a few things | 08:32 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, i am only doing what most ppl who try to help do. ask questions to findout what may be going on | 08:32 |
| Dougdoug4 | some blog entry poster, gtk-RecordMyDesktop, Open Office Database, and Twitux | 08:32 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, something may cause conflicts | 08:32 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, thats all i can say | 08:32 |
| meowbuntu | y do you need gtk-rechordmy desktop | 08:33 |
| Obeyence | Has anyone played Stalker on linux here? | 08:33 |
| Dougdoug4 | To record my desktop | 08:34 |
| Dougdoug4 | Why else? | 08:34 |
| === rainofkayos is now known as SolarisBoy | ||
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, what does that application do exactly | 08:35 |
| Dougdoug4 | Records the desktop | 08:36 |
| ^mNotIntelligent | hi | 08:36 |
| Dougdoug4 | It is like Camtasia.. It just records your desktop.. | 08:36 |
| === Zoidberg is now known as rolcol | ||
| xsacha | anyone know how to change webcam settings? | 08:36 |
| === rolcol is now known as Rolcol | ||
| ^mNotIntelligent | xsacha, what kinda settings ? | 08:37 |
| meowbuntu | ok Dougdoug4 was it a native ubuntu install or a general linux one | 08:37 |
| xsacha | like Hz for flicker | 08:37 |
| Dougdoug4 | What/ | 08:37 |
| Dougdoug4 | meowbuntu you are asking odd questions.. | 08:38 |
| Dougdoug4 | I installed it from the Ubuntu Software Center | 08:38 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, no | 08:38 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, was the install you got a .deb package | 08:38 |
| Dougdoug4 | oh.my.god | 08:38 |
| Dougdoug4 | I'm sorry sir but you are trolling | 08:38 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, ok thats fine | 08:38 |
| Dougdoug4 | Please go away | 08:38 |
| Dougdoug4 | No, it's not fine. I don't appreciate your trolling here. You are taking away from a users chance to get help. | 08:39 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, if you dont want my help thats fine | 08:39 |
| Dougdoug4 | You aren't helping me you are deterring my search to find help. | 08:39 |
| brjann | !ignore | 08:39 |
| ubottu | If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname | 08:39 |
| Dougdoug4 | brjann, I've figured out what the problem was | 08:39 |
| Dougdoug4 | On Cheese, I disabled the 'countdown' option | 08:39 |
| Dougdoug4 | Once you enable it, the 1000 picture 'CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE' spamming begins | 08:39 |
| xsacha | anyone know how to change webcam to do 50Hz instead of 60Hz? | 08:40 |
| meowbuntu | Dougdoug4, report that in forums it is great info | 08:40 |
| brjann | Dougdoug4: huh. I wonder why that would be the case, surely every user of cheese hasn't experienced that problem or else it'd've been fixed by now | 08:40 |
| ddrj | ugh i don't get this.... usb drive is fat32, used unetboonin to load up ubuntu 9.10 full on there, chose usb drive in bios and it says "Boot Error" | 08:41 |
| ddrj | i just don't understand x( | 08:41 |
| === roscogruen is now known as Popeye | ||
| ddrj | can't install from cd rom / floppy cus i don't have those on target machine ;\\ | 08:42 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, ok did you use an .iso file or from the cd | 08:42 |
| === tjgillies__ is now known as tjgillies | ||
| ddrj | i used unetbootin with ubuntu 9.10 .iso file | 08:42 |
| * airtonix wonders why ddrj is using unetbowhatever and not the usb startup disk creator on the livecd from another machine. | 08:43 | |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, first after you downloaded the .iso did you chk5sum it | 08:43 |
| ddrj | yeah md5 checksum is verified | 08:43 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, that will tell you if it downloaded properly | 08:43 |
| ddrj | usb startup disk creator airtonix? can u use that on windows ? | 08:44 |
| ddrj | meowbuntu: yeah md5 matches | 08:44 |
| airtonix | ddrj, why would you need to ? its part of the live cd | 08:44 |
| hatake_kakashi | what sort of usb driver are we talking about? | 08:44 |
| brjann | Dougdoug4: i've found one vaguely similar bug report, but it's almost a year old | 08:44 |
| hatake_kakashi | s/driver/drive | 08:44 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, try formatting the drive then try again. | 08:44 |
| ddrj | oh sandisk 2gb cruzer | 08:44 |
| ddrj | sorry 4gb | 08:44 |
| ddrj | meowbuntu: ive done it like a million times tonight | 08:45 |
| ddrj | i tried ntfs, fat32, fat | 08:45 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, are you on ubuntu | 08:45 |
| hatake_kakashi | is it one of those with U3 or whatever it is? | 08:45 |
| Dougdoug4 | brjann, i'll take it | 08:45 |
| ddrj | i tried different linux usb live creators | 08:45 |
| === Popeye is now known as rosco | ||
| ddrj | hatake_kakashi: checking | 08:45 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, what is to main os you are using | 08:45 |
| brjann | Dougdoug4: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cheese/+bug/297890 | 08:45 |
| ddrj | meowbuntu: nope, on windows vista atm ;\\ | 08:45 |
| hatake_kakashi | ddrj, there should be a logo printed on it as such, and when you plug it into windows you'll clearly see it showing U3 | 08:45 |
| ddrj | ahhh yeah | 08:45 |
| ddrj | that's the one | 08:46 |
| ddrj | u3 | 08:46 |
| airtonix | ddrj, other machine + live cd + livecd iso on usb = ??? | 08:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | you'll need to forcefully remove U3 or it won't work properly | 08:46 |
| ddrj | airtonix: other machine = no usb x( | 08:46 |
| ddrj | hatake_kakashi: shouldn't u3 be removed when u format it ? | 08:46 |
| ddrj | airtonix: other machine = no os i mean | 08:46 |
| ddrj | sorry | 08:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | ddrj, I've heard it wasn't that simple, there's still traces of it | 08:46 |
| ddrj | just blank 1tb drive | 08:46 |
| ddrj | ahhh x( | 08:46 |
| airtonix | ddrj, not even network connection ? | 08:46 |
| ddrj | yeah network connections there, but no cd / floppy drive | 08:47 |
| ddrj | maybe it's because of that u3 loader | 08:47 |
| hatake_kakashi | I'm tell you it is | 08:47 |
| airtonix | ddrj, then access the iso via windows file sharing from the live cd | 08:47 |
| hatake_kakashi | there is a tool you can get from sandisk I think to remove U3 properly | 08:47 |
| meowbuntu | ddrj, ah ok u3 may be problem. look at this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/using-unetbootin-on-a-win-xp-to-make-a-usb-stick-771877/ | 08:47 |
| ddrj | thanks guys | 08:48 |
| ddrj | let me check those links | 08:48 |
| ddrj | and remove u3, i'll try it and i'll let u know how it goes in 5 mins x( | 08:48 |

| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 08:50 |
| thianpa | I have bought this VPS | 08:50 |
| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, you need to set execute bits first on the file and then use ./foo.sh | 08:50 |

| thianpa | and used Ubuntu Remote Desktop | 08:50 |
| Dougdoug4 | No I'm sorry but I won't. I'm tired of all these errors. | 08:51 |
| thianpa | But when i encode movies with it, the load average more then 8. | 08:51 |
| airtonix | !enter > thianpa | 08:51 |
| ubottu | thianpa, please see my private message | 08:51 |
| Dougdoug4 | Error after error after problem after error | 08:51 |
| Dougdoug4 | I have to spend more time on Ubuntu fixing errors than anything else | 08:51 |
| clrg | Dougdoug4: Stop spamming. | 08:51 |
| hatake_kakashi | Dougdoug4, and what do you expect? a perfect OS | 08:51 |
| Obeyence | I dont understand. | 08:51 |
| airtonix | clear | 08:51 |
| thianpa | ok | 08:51 |
| brjann | Dougdoug4: this is not the place to vent. | 08:51 |
| Dougdoug4 | I expect an OS on which I have time to do what I wish to do with a computer | 08:51 |
| Dougdoug4 | Not fix the problems left to me by the OS | 08:51 |
| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, better yet, you need to run it through the terminal.. bash foo.sh | 08:52 |
| Obeyence | Dougdoug4, good luck finding that OS! | 08:52 |
| hatake_kakashi | replace foo with the the filename | 08:52 |
| Obeyence | What do i save this as? | 08:52 |
| Dougdoug4 | I found that OS Obeyence, WINDOWS | 08:52 |
| thianpa | In the VPS rules i cannot exceed 8 load for more than 15 mins. So with my current VPS it is exceeding. And If i upgrade my VPS to this one: 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), 4GB ram will it helped? | 08:52 |
| hatake_kakashi | save the filename as it is | 08:52 |
| Dougdoug4 | I'd rather pay money than have a free OS | 08:52 |
| Obeyence | Winblows? | 08:52 |
| Dougdoug4 | As long as it means I can get things done | 08:53 |

| ubottu | Dougdoug4: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:53 |
| basix | Dougdoug4, try Windows. Maybe that'll solve your issues. | 08:53 |
| thianpa | airtonix, With the VPS I have now the avarage load when encoding movies is around 8-9 so if i upgrade the CPU to 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), will that be enough ? | 08:54 |
| airtonix | thianpa, is that a ubuntu question or a hardware question ? | 08:54 |
| Obeyence | what am i to save this ass? | 08:54 |
| Obeyence | This script... | 08:54 |
| Obeyence | as | 08:54 |
| thianpa | More like a hardware but i'm using Ubuntu :) | 08:54 |
| hatake_kakashi | just save the filename as it is | 08:54 |
| * airtonix plants face on desk | 08:54 | |
| brjann | Obeyence: its filename is install-wine-deps.sh so I would stick with that :) | 08:54 |
| airtonix | thianpa, show me how its relevant to ubuntu | 08:55 |
| clrg | thianpa: I guess the load will always be high when encoding movies, since that is a very cpu-intense operation. Are you satisfied with the speed of the encoding? If yes, leave it as is. | 08:55 |
| Obeyence | i dont understand | 08:55 |
| Obeyence | its a link | 08:55 |
| Obeyence | i click on it it brings up text | 08:55 |
| Obeyence | What am i to do? | 08:55 |
| airtonix | Obeyence, enter key much ? | 08:55 |
| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, its called File, Save As... | 08:55 |
| clrg | !enter | Obeyence | 08:55 |
| ubottu | Obeyence: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 08:55 |
| thianpa | clrg : It is fast but they wont allow it, as the load is >8, I have to keep it <8 | 08:55 |
| Obeyence | Im not trying to be difficult... | 08:56 |
| thianpa | So what i am asking is? if i upgrade the CPU to 2672.808 MHz (4 Cores), will that be enough ? | 08:56 |
| hatake_kakashi | thianpa, tried ##hardware instead? | 08:56 |
| Obeyence | But... Save as... | 08:56 |
| thianpa | My current CPU is 2004.604 MHz (4 Cores), 2 GB | 08:56 |
| clrg | thianpa: Does your encoder support throttling? For example, try to tell the encoder only to use 2 cores instead of all 4. | 08:56 |
| Obeyence | There is no save as. Its web page. | 08:56 |
| morrowyn | 4 cores with 2gb, doesn't feel right somehow | 08:56 |
| Obeyence | I bet i could bring up a source | 08:57 |
| morrowyn | that means 500mb per core | 08:57 |
| Obeyence | Did you even click on the link i gave in here? | 08:57 |
| clrg | thianpa: Not enough RAM, I guess. Try at least 4 GB. | 08:57 |
| morrowyn | try 8gb | 08:57 |
| morrowyn | 2gb per core, like a normal single core setup | 08:57 |
| thianpa | so if i use 4GB RAM you think the load will be < 8 | 08:57 |
| Obeyence | =\ | 08:57 |
| Obeyence | im still loast here | 08:57 |
| brjann | Obeyence: yes, and I can go to the File menu and click "Save Page As..." and save it. | 08:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, if you use save page, it will show you a dialog and in it specifies the exact filename from the source | 08:57 |
| Obeyence | save page as isnt save as | 08:58 |
| Obeyence | ... | 08:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | and you're using which browser? | 08:58 |
| thianpa | morrowyn : i do hope i can afford that but 4gb is as much as i can go. And if that still dont help i guess i just have to find an alternative | 08:58 |
| Obeyence | You guys are a bit assuming... | 08:58 |
| clrg | thianpa: No. Please listen carefully, I will only repeat this once. Your load will *always* be high. It does not depend on your CPU. Encoding movies is a *very* cpu-intense operation. If you use a faster processor, the encoding will be faster; but the load will still be very high. | 08:58 |
| Dolp | is there an MS paint variation for ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, I'm asking you a question | 08:59 |
| Dolp | or...is there MS paint for ubuntu? | 08:59 |
| morrowyn | gimp | 08:59 |

| lao5 | how to make StarDict pronounce the word? | 08:59 |
| airtonix | morrowyn, gimp hardly qualifies as ms-paint | 08:59 |
| thianpa | clrg : thanks for clearing that up. So even if i use 4 GB and upgrade the CPU the load will still be >8 ? | 09:00 |
| Dolp | I want to rotate an image in openoffice.org writer, how? | 09:00 |
| airtonix | !info mtpaint | dolp | 09:00 |
| thianpa | thanks airtonix | 09:00 |
| Obeyence | yes yes. But someone said save as when i was asking about how to save it. | 09:00 |

| Obeyence | Im new liek 13 hours or so into linux | 09:00 |
| brjann | Dolp: you might take a look at gpaint | 09:00 |

| hatake_kakashi | Obeyence, there's no Save As.. and you haven't answered my question | 09:00 |

| basix | Dougdoug4, if you have issues with the OS, you gotta participate in the community, contact the maintainers, get your issue fixed. If your problem is not fixed, fix it yourself, pay somebody to fix it - thats how stuff works in the OpenSource world. | 09:18 |

| dyek | Hi! I built Ubuntu Linux kernel from the source package: "apt-get source linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic". I'm getting arch/x86/boot/bzImage file. Is there a way I can generate the .deb package from the build? When I run dpkg-buildpackage, I got "dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to linux-2.6.31/drivers/...: binary file contents changed". I don't want to generate another source package, just the .deb package. | 09:55 |

| zaratustra1 | I heard the 9.10 has grub 2 ; first is it true ? second, in case it is: | 09:57 |
| zaratustra1 | is it safe to install with ubuntu 9.10 on a machine which runs fedora ? | 09:57 |
| diddy | Why is the open office program "base" not installed after I install oo.org ? | 09:57 |
| zaratustra1 | I mean: is the grub2 is safe an will not cause any troubles? | 09:57 |

| Dr_Willis | it pays to Know your grub | 09:58 |
| fuge | Is it possible to replace the newer kernel (2.6.31-20-generic) with an older one? For example 2.6.28-15-generic from 9.04. (I have both OS on different disks.) | 09:59 |
| brjann | diddy: it looks like base is an optional component. it's found in the package openoffice.org-base, which you can install with synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, etc | 09:59 |

| zxc | i repeat my question, so more would likely see it: are there any good video cards that work well in Ubuntu? (with decent/good 3d performance) | 10:29 |
| Scarra3 | Is it a good idea to remove gnome fully and then replace it with another WM | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | zxc: most nvidia cards,, perhaps stay away from any that have came out in the last 2-3 months | 10:30 |
| Guest_36925 | zxc: http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html | 10:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Scarra3: you can easially keep gnome and install a different wm | 10:30 |
| om26er | zxc, if you have any nvidia card you can use their binary driver and it will give almost the same performance you will get in any other OS | 10:30 |
| ubuntu | zxc, intel is usually good | 10:30 |
| ubuntu | zxc, usually ati isn't the way to go | 10:30 |

| om26er | adante, you want to install the latest kernel? | 10:31 |
| adante | om26er: i want to install 2.6.32, i don't know if that is latest | 10:32 |
| om26er | adalal, 2.6.33 would be latest | 10:32 |
| om26er | adante, you can find .deb packages for every kernel here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ try at your own risk ;) | 10:33 |
| Scarra3 | Is it a good idea to remove gnome fully and then replace it with another WM | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Scarra3: No. proberly not. | 10:33 |
| iceroot | stuart_: why not? | 10:33 |
| iceroot | stuart_: sorry | 10:33 |
| Dr_Willis | Scarra3: and gnome is a 'destop' not a 'wm' | 10:33 |
| adante | om26er: thanks - if i install these, they don't 'overwite' my existing kernels do they? like, if it doesn't work, am i right in thinking it shouldn't be hard for me to revert to my existing kernel | 10:33 |
| ubuntu | Scarra3, you would still need a file manager | 10:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Scarra3: and you can easially install 'icewm' or other WM's and select them from the GDM menus | 10:34 |
| Scarra3 | Well I wanted to install Awesome Window Manager | 10:34 |
| om26er | adante, na you existing kernel willbe fine | 10:34 |

| adante | iceroot: could you help me with my understanding? uname -m says i686, dpkg --print-architecture is amd64 - i was under the impression amd64 was 64-bit, am i misunderstanding something? | 10:39 |

| iceroot | adante: what dpkg tells is important | 10:41 |
| iceroot | adante: amd64 = 64bit | 10:41 |
| meganerd | adante: it means that you installed amd64 but have an i686 kernel | 10:41 |
| adante | meganerd: is that... bad? it sounds odd | 10:41 |
| meganerd | adante: it is odd, what is the output of uname -a | 10:42 |
| meowbuntu | adante, yea you must have a 1686 processor. not a good idea to run 64 bit wndoes | 10:42 |
| meganerd | adante: not neccisarily bad | 10:42 |
| adante | meganerd, meowbuntu, iceroot: sorry, sorry.. i am just an idiot... typing commands in wrong terminal (different host) | 10:42 |
| iceroot | adante: :) | 10:43 |

| funkoolow | can anyone here help with my audio card? | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | artinstartin: thats.. weird.. i wonder why it even did that | 10:59 |
| funkoolow | can't find any help googling | 11:00 |
| ubuntu_ | now I want grub back, how can I do that? | 11:00 |
| ortsvorsteher | !anyone | funkoolow | 11:00 |
| ubottu | funkoolow: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 11:00 |
| KdaG | hia, i changed continents and will like to have my ubuntu repos calling local european mirrors | 11:00 |
| KdaG | what do i need to reconfigure? | 11:00 |
| om26er | !mbr | 11:00 |
| ubottu | 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. | 11:00 |
| Shin | KdaG: your repository listings | 11:00 |
| funkoolow | I just plugged my new card, how do i get ubuntu to scan the system for enabling it? | 11:00 |
| om26er | ubuntu_, see the message above | 11:01 |
| KdaG | Shin: of course, but do i have to do it manually, can i just not select a country like when i did the install | 11:01 |
| Shin | KdaG: administration, software sources, look at the list, choose server closet to you, ideally a univeristy | 11:01 |
| KdaG | Shin im not using gnome | 11:01 |
| meganerd | pask: install htop, then sort by memory usage. It is a command line program | 11:02 |
| haitao | dose any one have the deb of the hydra ,I can not install that with src | 11:02 |
| Shin | KdaG: ahh, sorry, thought it was cause ubuntu channel | 11:02 |
| meganerd | funkoolow: what card is this that you plugged in? | 11:02 |
| artinstartin | Dr_Willis: the default option was not to scan for encrypted files but i thought it is maybe good to do. now these encrypted files are ubuntu system files and it only boots until log in. i am running the live usb atm. can you tell me how to access the klamav somehow? | 11:02 |
| ubuntu_ | om26er, ok I'll try that, however another guide took me through sudo grub and so on, I got error 17- can't mount partition on setup grub (hd0) | 11:02 |
| KdaG | Shin: thanks, i will opne synaptic | 11:03 |
| funkoolow | meganerd: lspci | grep audio -> 00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB0400 Audigy2 Value | 11:03 |
| KdaG | Shin: thanks that was it, simple | 11:04 |
| ad1 | hello | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | artinstartin: clammav has command line tools.. but ive only used the scanner and update commands. | 11:06 |
| Dr_Willis | artinstartin: i have to wonder what system files are encrypted | 11:06 |
| ad1 | hello, i"have a question about reinstalling ubuntu 9.1 | 11:07 |
| pask | meganerd:hi, installed htop and sorted by memory usage, what now? | 11:07 |
| meganerd | pask: once you install htop, sort by memory used (F6 then use the arrow keys to select mem) | 11:07 |
| meganerd | pask: what is the top user of memory? | 11:08 |
| ad1 | hello, i"have a question about reinstalling ubuntu 9.1 system is slow | 11:08 |
| artinstartin | Dr_Willis: maybe they are not system files, i am newbie.. but i thought they are as ubuntu does not start up anymore after the files where quarantined. i also have another partition with another ubuntu but i don't know how to access the klamav. when i go into recovery mode klamav or clamav is not able to start. | 11:08 |
| pask | It' X | 11:08 |
| pask | but it gets only 3.4% | 11:08 |
| meganerd | so how much memory does htop say is used? | 11:09 |
| pask | 742/2008 | 11:09 |
| funkoolow | moreover, alsaconf does not exist anymore in 9.10 :| | 11:09 |
| bombel | How can I remove the title bar from windows? A lot of things in google but none gives a solution. Help pls!! | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: what aare you tryng to do exactly? | 11:10 |
| meganerd | pask: so, does this go up over time? | 11:10 |
| meganerd | pask: you ssaid you had a momory leak? | 11:10 |
| adante | hi guys | 11:10 |
| adante | so i have this weird behaviour where when i try to open a video, my x server restarts | 11:10 |
| adante | as in, i'm in an x session, logged in, and i open a video, movie player window comes up, then whole screen goes blank, and then the ubuntu splash comes up as if booting, and then the login screen | 11:11 |
| pask | yes, by time to time, normally as I start the computer I get only 26% of used memory, but it grows over time, after two days non-stop the sistem totally trashed | 11:11 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, I want to remove the title bar for any window. The bar that stands on the top with the 3 buttons (minimize, maximize, close) and the title | 11:11 |
| pask | ( I said memory leak, but I'm not actually sure it means what I think, I'm not english native) | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: dare we ask why? COmpiz has a feature to do that. if you really wanted to. | 11:12 |
| bombel | Can I do it without using Compiz ? | 11:12 |
| artinstartin | Dr_Willis: this user has the same problem as me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1409554 | 11:12 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis -^ | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: no idea. never tried. | 11:12 |
| aman | can anyone tell me why my XP is not booting after restoring GRUB2 ???? | 11:13 |
| bombel | I'm becoming desperate | 11:14 |
| pask | memory usage is now 743/2008 | 11:14 |
| meganerd | pask: and you said that cache was not responsible for the usage? | 11:14 |
| madura | gnome file open save dialog is slow when browsing /usr/lib etc help please, this is 9.10 and there's no tracker | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: why is this even impoirntant? | 11:15 |
| * om26er thinks its called gtkfilechooser | 11:15 | |
| pask | meganerd: I see cache usage separately, now sistem is using 36% for programs and 44% as cache | 11:16 |
| njbair | firefox keeps giving me an error that google gears isn't the right build, but I installed it from the repos. What's the deal? | 11:16 |
| om26er | madura, cuz that folder contains tons of files | 11:16 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, this title bar takes useful space | 11:16 |
| d6chung | Aha! Finally got it! What I need to do (with noapic) is to constantly ping something so that the wireless "stays alive"... it's odd but it works! So I created a startup command that just constantly pings my home router. | 11:16 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, It's not useful for me anymore | 11:16 |
| bombel | I can live without it | 11:17 |
| madura | om26er: nautilus doent do that but the file open save does and sometimes it does that for small number of files too | 11:17 |
| pask | meganerd: also, there is a tiny slice used as buffer, probably is there from last time I used Amule | 11:17 |
| madura | om26er: HDD isn't busy on that time the processor hits 100% | 11:17 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: its a window manager feature/thing. Compiz can do it - I imagone others can aswell.. but not gnomes default metacityu | 11:17 |
| om26er | madura, I just opened that folder and nautilus did not respond for 10secs | 11:17 |
| jose | kkkkkkkkk | 11:17 |
| jose | hello | 11:18 |
| om26er | !hi | jose | 11:18 |
| ubottu | jose: 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! | 11:18 |
| meganerd | d6chung: using noapic is not the best solution. Try to avoid it if you can. | 11:18 |
| madura | om26er: thats just the start, this happens when scrolling | 11:18 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, does Compiz require graphics acceleration? | 11:18 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: for the most part. yes | 11:18 |
| jose | i'm spanish | 11:19 |
| bombel | :S | 11:19 |
| om26er | jose, but you seem to be writing english ;) | 11:19 |
| d6chung | meganerd: Yeah, well, that's a current workaround for me. | 11:21 |
| om26er | jose, #ubuntu-es is spanish channel | 11:21 |
| meganerd | pask: I need to get some sleep now so I am outta here. You may want to install atop, and then check with it peridically. It actually runs in the backround and so can track these things. Use the "m" key to get memory info. "h" brings up the help screen. | 11:21 |
| dyek | Anybody knows if there exists a Ubuntu kernel package with CONFIG_M586TSC=y (likely pae package)? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008727.html | 11:22 |
| === kenshin_ is now known as Abu | ||
| meganerd | d6chung: that sucks. My last laptop I needed to do something like that. Kernel updates solve the issue for me. Out of curiosity what kind of PC is this (laptop/desktop, CPU type, chipset if known) | 11:22 |
| pask | meganerd: ok, thank you for help anyway | 11:23 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, Is it possible that some configuration file saves information about the size of the title bar? I realized that increasing the font size from the title bar makes the title bar grow, but the oposite is not true. I even removed all of the buttons and decreased the font size, but the title bar doesnt shrink... (I tried this with gconf-editor) | 11:23 |
| om26er | dyek, sudo apt-get install linux-image-pae | 11:23 |
| madura | any help on the file dialog thing? | 11:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: some window managers have per-window/app title bar options. I do not think the default gnome window manager can do this. | 11:23 |
| om26er | dyek, that would be linux-image-2.6.31.xxxx-pae | 11:24 |
| dyek | om26er: I checked that 2.6.31-20-generic-pae doesn't have CONFIG_M586TSC=y. Hence, the question. | 11:24 |
| dyek | om26er: Any idea where I can get that? | 11:24 |
| om26er | dyek, in terminal | 11:24 |
| om26er | dyek, why you want to install pae kernel? | 11:24 |
| dyek | om26er: No...2.6.31-20-generic-pae doesn't have CONFIG_M586TSC=y. | 11:25 |
| d6chung | meganerd: Gateway ML3109. I looked around and apparently people are having problems with it even in Windows Vista, which it shipped with. | 11:25 |
| madura | where can i get the latest builds of gnome? | 11:25 |
| dyek | om26er: Ubuntu kernels are no longer boot-able as Xen DomU. It is discussed in the thread. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2010-February/008727.html | 11:26 |
| meganerd | d6chung: something that old should be well supported by now. What version of Ubuntu are you using?> | 11:26 |
| d6chung | meganerd: 9.10. | 11:26 |
| meganerd | d6chung: weird | 11:26 |
| artinstartin | Dr_Willis: i will try to find a command line to undo the quarantine now. thanks for the tip | 11:26 |
| meganerd | dyek: from reading that link it looks like lucid will have that change, and it also looks like karmic will have it as well. | 11:27 |
| dyek | meganerd: Yes, but I can't find it in the latest packages that appears to be built on Feb. 8th, 2010. | 11:28 |
| meganerd | dyek: from checking my karmic and lucid installs, it does not appear that the changes have been applied yet | 11:28 |
| researcher1 | hello | 11:30 |
| meganerd | dyek: that link suggests that it will appear in the SRU. Your best bet is to build your own kernel | 11:31 |
| dyek | meganerd: Yup. I hoped that there is unstable repository that might have the package, but I suppose not... It is very time consuming to build a working custom kernel... | 11:31 |
| ad1 | help with cairo dock cant close menu | 11:32 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, can u help me? | 11:32 |
| meganerd | dyek: there is probably a PPA for it | 11:32 |
| Dr_Willis | aman: with what? | 11:32 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, i have installed grub2 after installing XP but XP not booting now.. | 11:32 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, so any solutions to that? | 11:33 |
| LonelyDragon757 | having issues with gqview and geeqie to see CIFS shares...see a bug for it posted.. but confused. it said something about repackaging the build... not no clue on how to do that... | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | depends on what xp is doping | 11:33 |
| meganerd | dyek: It might be time consuming when you are learning, but a change like this takes less than a minute to do, and less than an hour to build. | 11:33 |
| dyek | meganerd: Are you able to locate one? It would be great if there is a prebuilt package with CONFIG_M586TSC=y. | 11:33 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, sorry didnt get u | 11:33 |
| Dr_Willis | aman: xp 'dont work' tells me very little.. what IS it doing? error? just hangs/ what exactly? | 11:34 |
| dyek | meganerd: I actually built it, but not the initrd. I have to rebuild it following Ubuntu's instruction. | 11:34 |
| meganerd | dyek: I would just search launchpad for the kernel team | 11:34 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, by the way, how do I do it with Compiz? - remove the title bar | 11:34 |
| meganerd | dyek: make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=<your custom version> kernel-image kernel-headers | 11:35 |
| xsacha | hey.. i have a radeon hd4570 and noticed my card runs 100% load, extremely hot and fan runs on max. then i noticed ubuntu is using vesa drivers!! why? | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bombel: in the CCSM tools it has a settings for that stuff on a per window/program basis | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !ccsm | 11:35 |
| ubottu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz | 11:35 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, it was an error something like "Device Not Found: f12jd-rewtr"....dont remeber exactly but something like this only.... | 11:35 |
| meganerd | xsacha: try getting the radeonhd drivers, they should be in synaptic | 11:35 |
| meganerd | time for sleep, 'night all | 11:35 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, if you want then shall i reboot to check that? | 11:35 |
| Dr_Willis | aman: proberly better to ask in #windows | 11:36 |
| bombel | Dr_Willis, alright, gonna check that | 11:36 |
| xsacha | meganerd, they are but for some reason they are not installed by default. any ideas why? | 11:36 |
| Dr_Willis | aman: since it seems xp is ghetting booted by grub but has issues | 11:36 |
| xsacha | i mean is there a reason for it? do they not work? | 11:36 |
| dyek | meganerd: Thanks! I'll try if my build is still workable. | 11:36 |
| aman | Dr_Willis, then any suggestions? | 11:37 |

| pask | still memory leak problem here, and it isn't used as cache, but actually by programs, according to "free" cmd, but no way they can take all the used memory, also, it grows over time. any solutions? | 11:44 |
| overmind | hatake_kakashi: why ? | 11:44 |
| hatake_kakashi | overmind, chromium-os != ubuntu | 11:45 |

| Brodz987 | i have just installed the banshee media player. the first time i used the program it worked fine. now when i try to start it up, it crashed before it opens. i have tried unitstalling and re-installing with no better results | 11:48 |
| adante | Dr_Willis: hm thanks - so am i right in thinking the lack of a -16 in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ means i can't install this easily for karmic | 11:48 |
| hatake_kakashi | pask, no it won't but usually the kernel should handle it at least if a program is no longer used, its pointers are removed and possible therefore be overwritten. Whether or not are those accounted for using free/etc is what I am not sure | 11:48 |
| Brodz987 | what can i do in the terminal to check what errors it has? | 11:48 |
| Dr_Willis | adante: no idea - i rarely mess with the kerne | 11:48 |
| airtonix | Brodz987, tried removing the banshee settings in your home folder? | 11:50 |
| Mkools | Dr_Willis: Can you help? | 11:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Mkools: if you made the image properl;y.. and put it on the flash properly.. and the pc is set to boot from USB - it should work | 11:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Mkools: you could test it in virtualbox first | 11:52 |
| pask | hatake_kakashi: fact is that when system is freshly started and I use no program, only 20-26% of memory is used, after about a day on runtime, if I close all programs the value is about 30%. So somewhere about 5% of 2GB have been lost! Once the system totally went trashing because of this fact | 11:52 |
| Mkools | Dr_Willis: On ubuntu how to get a virtual box? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | !vbox | 11:52 |
| ubottu | virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 11:52 |
| isolat3dsh33p | yo, is OPNET available for Linux? | 11:52 |
| Dr_Willis | whats OPnet? | 11:52 |
| Brodz987 | airtonix: yeah. i have tried running "banshee" from the terminal but the terminal is just sitting idle | 11:53 |
| hatake_kakashi | pask, well I don't know, I'm not an expert on kernel, for those issues maybe you should direct them to ##linux or something like that | 11:53 |

| Mkools | Dr_Willis: If ubuntu image is on usb stick then after restart, does grub shows boot from usb option? | 12:03 |
| oxsav | so i will start again my question | 12:03 |
| hatake_kakashi | elliotjhug, I suppose you could set it up in cron | 12:03 |
| xsacha | ok but my question does not pertain to 10.04. so you avoid answering my question by directing me away. thanks... | 12:03 |
| rayone | my pc is: intel core duo e6320 , 4 gb ram 667 mhz , ati radeon 4850 512 mb ... what linux system is rigth for my pc? | 12:03 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, you didn't say what your problem is | 12:03 |
| msenoz | hi all | 12:03 |
| suleman | i have downloaded a pdf file upto 60% and then the download was stopped.how do i view the file? | 12:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Mkools: if you got grub on the usb.. and boot the usb - you should see the usb sticks GRUB menu not the pcs grub menu | 12:03 |
| hatake_kakashi | rayone, this is ubuntu support channel, not a general linux channel | 12:03 |
| hatake_kakashi | suleman, you can't | 12:04 |
| Dr_Willis | rayone: most any of them should work fine | 12:04 |
| elliotjhug | hatake_kakashi, not ideal - it would work - but I'm sure thats not how most such processes work | 12:04 |
| oxsav | i have the ubuntu and when i connect the phones to listen to music the music continues to in columns and i can listen the sound on the phones and in the columns at the same time! as anyone here who can help me? | 12:04 |
| rayone | hatake-kakashi i mean so ubuntu.. | 12:04 |
| isolat3dsh33p | xsacha, I don't have 10.04 installed, so can't really help you. But if I'm not wrong, usually xorg.conf is located at /etc/X11/xorg.conf. | 12:04 |
| hatake_kakashi | elliotjhug, in what? | 12:04 |
| madjoe | Hey, does anyone use Adium theme for Pidgin on Ubuntu? | 12:05 |
| suleman | graviton, i have downloaded a pdf file upto 60% and then the download was stopped.how do i view the file? | 12:05 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, I don't know what you're referring to in columns, what is colums? | 12:05 |
| xsacha | isolat3dsh33p, do does the file still work in 9.10? i just noticed it isnt there by default | 12:05 |
| hatake_kakashi | columns* even | 12:05 |
| msenoz | has anybody succeed to install rt3070 (awush036nh) adapter in ubuntu with injection support? | 12:05 |
| elliotjhug | hatake_kakashi, as in if you type ps -A on your shell now and see all the background tasks running the vast majority of them aren't run by cron | 12:05 |
| tome0 | hi, I downloaded ubuntu from here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and burnt it to a cd. Now Im trying to "Try ubuntu without any change to your computer" but it just goes to a black screen with a white blinking underscore sign | 12:05 |
| oxsav | hatake_kakashi, speakers... | 12:05 |
| msenoz | i have read many tutorial but didn't work | 12:06 |
| oxsav | where the sounds go out when you are listen to music on computer... | 12:06 |
| rayone | Dr_willis: ok thanks | 12:06 |
| hatake_kakashi | elliotjhug, ahh yes but do you have a suggestion for one to run it in the background even long after the user disconnects from remote session? the only other way is probably via screen | 12:06 |
| === maciek_ is now known as Guest38435 | ||
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, and phones as in headphones? if so, are the headphones and speakers on two different ports? | 12:07 |
| oxsav | yes | 12:07 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, afaik that isn't possible without a capable sound card | 12:08 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, if you persist, you can try jack | 12:09 |
| isolat3dsh33p | xsacha, I have the file in the location I just mentioned and I'm running 9.10. So I'm guessing, yeah it still works. | 12:09 |
| oxsav | when I connect the headphones the music continues to give the columns of the computer | 12:09 |
| msenoz | has anybody succeed to install rt3070 (awush036nh) adapter in ubuntu with injection support? | 12:10 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, you're not being specific on your question, do you want sound to come through your speakers yes or no? | 12:10 |
| oxsav | when i connect headphones, no | 12:10 |
| oxsav | of course | 12:10 |
| oxsav | i just want to listen the music on the head phones when i connect it | 12:11 |
| dotty | True story | 12:11 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, so you want the computer to automatically differentiate between speakers and headphones connected? | 12:11 |
| dotty | dead babies | 12:11 |

| oxsav | not a desktop | 12:12 |
| dotty | My computer is laptop | 12:12 |
| dotty | my speakers are logitechs | 12:12 |
| elky | dotty, i have no idea what help you'd need with logitech speakers, and ascii pictures aren't going to help. | 12:12 |
| dotty | I first thought the speakers had a short in the wire | 12:13 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, even at that the laptop should be able to handle incoming connection from headphone | 12:13 |
| dotty | when i moved it around | 12:13 |
| dotty | i would get reception | 12:13 |
| dotty | from the two back speakers | 12:13 |
| oxsav | hatake_kakashi, in the other computer this problem even exists but in this -.-' i don't know to resolve :s | 12:13 |
| dotty | do i need another subwoofer or | 12:13 |
| dotty | do i need new speakers or what | 12:13 |
| Dr_Willis | dotty: yes... | 12:14 |
| dotty | yes what | 12:14 |
| Dr_Willis | given the vague question.. i figured id give a vague answer. | 12:14 |
| hatake_kakashi | oxsav, yes and I don't know how to specifically solve it either.. I'd try other livecd/livedvd distros and see if its a driver/HAL/etc issue or specifically a hardware issue.. I don't have this sort of problem with my old laptop | 12:14 |
| dotty | Dr_willis, the question is quite specific | 12:15 |
| oxsav | hmmm | 12:15 |
| oxsav | :x | 12:15 |
| dotty | if you don't have anything nice to say keep your fucking mouth shut bitch or i wil fuck u up the ass | 12:15 |
| oxsav | and anyone here can help me? | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | dotty: why dont you clear it up and put it on like 1 like in stead of over 20 | 12:15 |
| hatake_kakashi | !language | dotty | 12:15 |
| ubottu | dotty: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | problem solved.. | 12:15 |
| Dr_Willis | as fot the headphones + speaker out - isent jackd used to fix that issue? | 12:16 |
| hatake_kakashi | well actually his issue is that he wants the system to switch between speakers and headphones | 12:16 |
| Dr_Willis | yea - i see that asked about once a week in here. I was thinking someone had used jackd for proper port senceing. | 12:17 |
| hatake_kakashi | I personally never had that issue, on my old laptop, it was done via hardware level or so I figured | 12:17 |
| SandGorgon | Dr_Willis, is jackd usable in Ubuntu ? with skype, vlc, flash I mean | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | I think thats the proper term used 'port senceing' | 12:18 |
| hatake_kakashi | and yes jack was suggested before | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | SandGorgon: not sure - ive never had the issue | 12:18 |
| hatake_kakashi | some programs needs to be configured to use jack output/input driver or it won't work | 12:18 |
| Dr_Willis | with many sound cards these days. a headphone Out. COULD also be a mic in, or subwoofer out.. its supposed to somehow detect what it is. (or ask?) and confiogure it properly | 12:18 |
| bero | ola | 12:19 |
| Dr_Willis | It gets confuseing - because they use same ports for differnt tasks. to save $$ i guess. | 12:19 |
| oxsav | brbr | 12:19 |
| oxsav | brb | 12:19 |
| robert__ | where can i get the theme from 4.10? | 12:20 |
| Dr_Willis | robert__: you mean 10.04 ? ive seen it at variouys ubuntu blog/news site. | 12:21 |
| robert__ | Dr_Willis, i mean 4.10 warty warthog | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | robert__: omgubuntu, and/or that webup8 one. | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | robert__: thats scary :) check gnome art i guess | 12:22 |
| robert__ | huh? where do i get those 2? | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | robert__: i saw a site going todo a 'history of ubuntu themes' artical. perhaps they will have those all | 12:22 |
| Dr_Willis | those were web sites.. I got them in my NewsFeeds | 12:22 |

| Haegin | Hi, is this a good place to ask about iptables and ip forwarding? | 12:25 |
| xxx_ | Hi .... does anybody know how can I manage my devices from the terminal like the Palimpset utility(GUI)?? | 12:27 |
| norbi | hi! guys can you tell me how to access network computers? those PC`s are on Windows OS and few minutes ago i was able but now i could not access them | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: i tend to bookmark them once i access them the first time.. seem to help them get rembered | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: or i enter the full proper path to the shrares on teh windows box. | 12:29 |
| norbi | Dr_Willis: but it does not works even with the share path | 12:29 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: try with the ip# instead of the machine name. Ive had issues with that also | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: and check what 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' also scan and detect | 12:30 |
| norbi | Dr_Willis: how can i do that? 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' ? | 12:32 |
| humphreybc | hi all, could someone please tell me what the package name for the "About Me" thing in Gnome is? | 12:32 |
| xxx_ | Hi .... does anybody know how can I manage my devices from the terminal like the Palimpset utility(GUI)?? | 12:32 |
| norbi | smbtree gives me back the computers | 12:32 |
| norbi | but cannot access them via network | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: thats points to the gnome file manager part having issues again.., its alwyas flakey for me | 12:33 |
| Dr_Willis | you could try to mount them via hand | 12:33 |
| lorenzo | #ubuntu-it-chat | 12:34 |
| norbi | Dr_Willis: then what do i have to do/ | 12:34 |
| norbi | ? | 12:34 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: you can mount a windows share with 'sudo mount <some options>' to a location then access them that way | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | I think you may need to install a package or2 for it to work however | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !info smbfs | 12:36 |
| lorenzo | #ubuntu-it | 12:36 |
| ubottu | smbfs (source: samba): Samba file system utilities. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.4 (karmic), package size 1796 kB, installed size 5272 kB | 12:36 |
| norbi | can you give me a good example for this location: \\NORBI-PC\proiecte ? | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | !samba | 12:37 |
| ubottu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | check that first url for examples | 12:37 |
| Dr_Willis | smbmount //winpc/shared /mnt/share -o username=user,password=pass,rw | 12:39 |
| Dr_Willis | is similer to what you could try | 12:40 |
| ae86-drifter | whats the best way of installing windows vista on my computer without it interfering with linux | 12:42 |
| robert__ | whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? | 12:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ae86-drifter: put it on its own hard drive, and use th pc's bios to pick what HD to boot | 12:42 |
| moijk | install it on its own partition prior to installing linux. | 12:42 |
| ae86-drifter | i already have linux installed | 12:43 |
| ae86-drifter | i really want to use grub to choose | 12:43 |
| moijk | ae86-drifter: then fix grub after installing vista (why vista?) | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ae86-drifter: get 2nd hd for windowss.. Unplug linux drive.. install windows.. Plug linux back in.. use bios to pick what one to boot... | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | of coruse grub will see the windows install when it updates.. so you may as well set linux drive to boot by default | 12:44 |
| ae86-drifter | Dr_Willis, i already have windows vista on a spare hd, could i put it in and configure grub to just boot it ? | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ae86-drifter: in theory 'update-grub' will do that automatcally | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | if you are using grub2 | 12:44 |
| moijk | ae86-drifter: by the way, ae86 rocks ;) | 12:44 |
| ae86-drifter | Dr_Willis, ok thansk | 12:44 |
| norbi | Dr_Willis: i think i have to restart the system | 12:44 |
| zetheroo | a friend did a big update and now the admin password is not being accepted | 12:45 |
| ae86-drifter | thx | 12:45 |
| norbi | it doesn`t work | 12:45 |
| stc | can somebody tell me if I can make my webcam pleomax pwc-3800 work under ubuntu 10.04 | 12:45 |
| norbi | and the shared things are not password protected, so it must be not so complicated to set up the mount | 12:45 |
| vinoman | hi | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | norbi: thers no spaces in the sharenames are there? that can really goof things up | 12:46 |
| robert__ | whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? | 12:48 |
| robert__ | i'm looking for it to install it | 12:48 |
| casinaroyale | How to see the latest installed updates? for some reason my video players are crashing suddenly :( | 12:48 |

| AceKing | Can someone help me to merge partitions? I have a Toshiba laptop that I want to dual boot with Ubuntu. For some reason Toshiba as 3 partitions on the drive. I tried deleting the 2 small partitions and seeing if I could resize the main partition and it's not working. | 12:50 |
| stevecam | zetheroo, the admin password is randomized in ubuntu | 12:51 |
| vivid | AceKing, a dual boot of windows and linux usually has three partitions | 12:51 |

| zetheroo | stevecam: yes | 12:51 |
| AceKing | vivid, I know but windows is setup with three partitions already | 12:51 |
| AceKing | vivid, Ubuntu wants to write over Vista | 12:52 |
| vivid | AceKing, boot with the ubuntu livecd and use gparted to modify your disk | 12:52 |
| vivid | to make room for ubuntu | 12:52 |
| stevecam | thats strange, if it can log in and it wont let you sudo im guessing the password is right but something else is wrong | 12:52 |
| vivid | AceKing, be thoughtful of which partitions you edit, as youll likely lose data in the process | 12:53 |
| AceKing | vivid, that's what I want to know.. How do I do that with 3 partitions already on the disk? | 12:53 |
| vivid | boot the livecd | 12:53 |
| vivid | then run System>Administration>Gparted | 12:53 |
| AceKing | vivid, they have a 1.5gb and a 7 gb partion that I'mt rying to delete | 12:53 |
| AceKing | vivid, the 1.5 gb is before the vista partition, and the 7 gb is after. I deleted both partitions and have unallocated space that I can't seem to do anything with | 12:56 |
| robert__ | whats the name of the very first ubuntu theme? | 12:56 |

| AceKing | vivid, I clicked on the vista drive and clicked on Resize/ Move. I moved the slider all the way over and clicked on apply. I keep getting an error occurred while applying operations | 13:06 |
| root_ | How do I install the restricted driver manager on 9.10? | 13:06 |
| vivid | thats probably because its the second partition | 13:06 |
| vivid | for example, sda has three partitions, sda1, sda2, and sda3 | 13:07 |
| AceKing | vivid, even thought it's unallocated space? | 13:07 |
| vivid | you cannot make sda2 sda1 without deleting it | 13:07 |
| vivid | AceKing, just use that small 1.5g space at the start as your swap space | 13:07 |
| acicula | sagaci: && just waits until what before has completed and exited, look at the bash page, ; is more used for programming bash stuff | 13:09 |
| AceKing | vivid, I tried that. another thing I'm noticing is that the ntfs drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point | 13:09 |
| human374 | (first sorry abou my bad english), we live 3 in a flat so somebody always split the net for the others because our router is weak... and when I tried to dial with ubuntu I used pppoeconf and all the older settings are lost, and now I got this message "Wired Networks | 13:09 |
| human374 | device not managed" | 13:10 |
| vivid | AceKing, my ntfs drive has the same icon | 13:10 |
| vivid | it means that you cannot read it because its not mounted | 13:10 |
| vivid | if i mount the drive it goes away | 13:10 |
| AceKing | vivid, ok | 13:10 |
| AceKing | vivid, even when I clicked on "Check" for the ntfs partition I get an error | 13:11 |

| Snicksie | JediMaster, passwd looks like it's to add a password for that (already existing) user | 13:28 |

| Haegin | /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 1 and I'm using the firewall rules from the tldb site | 13:31 |

The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Uncomplicated_Firewall_ufw), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI applications such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist | 14:39 |

| jolaren | How do I change my language / charset to swedish in ubuntu server? Soemhow I've lost my "åäö" signs and everything looks strange. | 14:55 |
| remoteCTRL | andai: might need a grub-install and update-grub after that | 14:56 |
| andai | remoteCTRL lol grub2 isn't even a package. I'm on linux mint | 14:56 |
| remoteCTRL | andai: in that case i suggest you say that for starters and then go look in #mint;) | 14:56 |
| andai | oh nevermind they call grub2 "grub-pc" | 14:56 |
| andai | kthx | 14:57 |
| remoteCTRL | jolaren: you mean on the commandline? | 14:57 |
| albech | jolaren, swedish has been abandoned in favor of danish ;) | 14:58 |
| jolaren | remoteCTRL: Yes, on the commandline.. It was all workin good but I changed alot in order to get irssi to work on a shell and now it wont even work in nano | 14:58 |
| remoteCTRL | basically you find that in /etc/default/console-setup, change XKBLAYOUT="" to se | 14:59 |
| remoteCTRL | but i seriously dunno how many keys you got there, might need to change XKBMODEL="pc105" to pc103 or so | 14:59 |

| disappearedng_ | how do I check | 15:01 |
| remoteCTRL | disappearedng_: what is it that you wanna know, what a http_proxy is or which app is doing this? | 15:01 |
| andai | alright how do i reconfigure/install/wahtever GRUB2 onto my usb drive (hopefully not touching the internal drives?) | 15:01 |
| ikonia | andai: you're using mint - please stop asking here | 15:02 |
| remoteCTRL | disappearedng_: in the first case eploy google, in the latter lsof -i | grep 8080 should tell you what is using it | 15:02 |
| andai | ikonia: how kind. It's the ubuntu package. | 15:02 |
| disappearedng_ | remoteCTRL: obviously which app is using this, I did a lsof and still can't see 8080 | 15:02 |
| andai | and #linuxmint-help is sleeping | 15:02 |
| disappearedng_ | very strange indeed | 15:02 |
| ikonia | andai: you're using mint - we don't support it here - so please stop asking | 15:02 |
| remoteCTRL | ikonia: as youre there could you pls help me figure out why my desktop is all black and windows turn all black if i maximize them? | 15:03 |

| ikonia | remoteCTRL: that's fine, it's all dynamic, grab an example one of the net, or do an Xorg -configure | 15:08 |
| ikonia | remoteCTRL: (you need to have the xserver dead to do an Xorg -configure) | 15:08 |
| remoteCTRL | ikonia: is that really the command or do you mean dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 15:09 |

| natrixnatrix89 | ActionParsnip: Ok. Thanks for the info | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | abhi_nav: ubottu is sleeping, i'm sure there is some work being done on her or somesuch | 15:34 |
| ubottu | Megrem: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 15:34 |
| abhi_nav | ActionParanip: hmm. | 15:34 |
| airtonix | chazco, im not aware of any bluetooth tunneling apps | 15:34 |
| ActionParsnip | chazco: i guess you could, pulse is very modular so i dont see why not, it will take smoe work but linux is very flexible | 15:34 |
| meatbun | ActionParsnip, no. still slow. | 15:34 |
| alpharesearch | I have a dual monitor setup and I want automatic startup of applications (firefox, thunderbird, xchat, pidgin) on selected positions on both screens... so far only pidgin remembers where to go (and I didn't do anything for this)... all other pile up just on one screen... but remember there size.... is there a gnome command to force an application on one of the screens? | 15:35 |
| abhi_nav | Megrem: read that msg by ubottu | 15:35 |
| chazco | airtonix / ActionParsnip - Thought it wouldn't be setup currently... sounds interesting though, might have an attempt a this | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | meatbun: do you get ANY output from: uname -a | grep x86_64 ? | 15:35 |
| elzorab | ok MD5 codes does not match | 15:35 |
| airtonix | chazco, all bluetooth apps for linux expect to use bluetooth devices on the machine they are run on. | 15:35 |
| ActionParsnip | elzorab: then the ISO is bad. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS check the files you download | 15:35 |
| elzorab | download again ISO ? | 15:35 |
| huntix | yep | 15:35 |
| YoungBoy | hehe | 15:36 |
| airtonix | chazco, so unless your bluetooth app lets you use mic input from pulseaudio then you will be out of luck. | 15:36 |
| meatbun | ActionParsnip, no output. i am on x86 not 64 bit os | 15:36 |
| elzorab | ok thx on my way | 15:36 |
| meatbun | ActionParsnip, plus, my whole system slows down when i watch that video on youtube | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | elzorab: yes, its bad. Thats why MD5 tests exist so you can check stuff | 15:36 |
| alpharesearch | or is there a application startup script that has a screen choice? | 15:36 |
| ActionParsnip | meatbun: just checking ;) | 15:36 |
| meatbun | ActionParsnip, however, when i save the youtube video and watch locally with totem, it's fast | 15:36 |
| airtonix | alpharesearch, research 'devilspie" | 15:37 |
| ActionParsnip | meatbun: have you got 3D accelleration (compiz going etc) | 15:37 |
| chazco | airtonix - It might be doable, will probably take some coding. I'm actually thinking wii remotes... | 15:37 |

| ActionParsnip | karan: depends entirely on confi | 15:49 |
| ActionParsnip | g | 15:49 |
| karan | ok | 15:49 |
| vivid | older packages, same system, speed is dependent on how much crap you have running | 15:49 |
| antimicrosoft314 | karan: I see no diffrence, but I prefer KDE3 so that's why sometimes I use Debian, because KDE4 is in Ubuntu | 15:49 |

| hmw | ActionParsnip: oh, nice. thanks. vivid: thanks, too. Both: Is it a bug of the GUI? I mean, i set "never" | 15:52 |

| ActionParsnip | hmw: if you make one, it will be obeyed | 15:54 |

| ActionParsnip | wrapster: install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu repo | 15:55 |
| Megrem | what to do? | 15:55 |
| Pici | !who | 15:56 |
| ubottu | 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 :) | 15:56 |
| wrapster | ActionParsnip: could you please give me the source.lst for that? | 15:56 |
| Slyboots | ActionParsnip: Uh.. what? | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | !medibuntu | wrapster | 15:56 |
| ubottu | wrapster: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 15:56 |
| vivid | Megrem, 'sudo apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-generic' | 15:56 |

| vivid | then try the build again | 15:56 |
| doogxela | doleyb: If I use download only, it won't keep it up to date, will it? | 15:56 |
| Slyboots | So I just have to sort through the thousands of files one page at a time x.x?! | 15:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Slyboots: it will list ALL the files and their folder sizes in command line, look for large folders | 15:56 |
| doleyb | doogxela: that's probably true! | 15:56 |
| Slyboots | God that'll take an age x.x | 15:56 |

| Slyboots | Is there not a way to just show the largest files/directories? | 15:57 |
| karan | deos xfce support compiz? | 15:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Slyboots: i also recommend you run: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image the first line is your CURRENT kernel, the rest are the INSTALLED kernels. You can remove the unused kernels to free up space | 15:57 |
| erUSUL | Slyboots: du -xs * | sort -rn | head | 15:57 |
| Slyboots | Arnt those on /boot? | 15:57 |
| doogxela | rohithwiz23: You probably already have a compiler installed, but if you don't, gcc is what you would want. Then you will need CMake to build the application. | 15:57 |
| erUSUL | Slyboots: du -xs /* | sort -rn | head | 15:57 |
| vivid | i swear karan is just trolling o.O | 15:57 |

| vivid | rohithwiz23, you can gain root rights by using 'sudo' | 16:00 |
| Nollog | Where's gloom? | 16:00 |
| doogxela | rohithwiz23: You could, but don't do it. If you need something to run as root, use sudo. | 16:00 |
| Slyboots | Is it safe to delete that? | 16:00 |
| erUSUL | Slyboots: sudo apt-get clean | 16:00 |
| daniskami | Slyboots: it's better to do "aptitude clean" | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Slyboots: sudo apt-get clean | 16:00 |
| rohithwiz23 | doogxela: In the terminal | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Slyboots: also install bleacbit and run it as user and root, it will clean lots of stuff (close as MANY apps as you can) | 16:01 |

| vivid | i still fail to see why aptitude is better than apt-get | 16:01 |
| Nollog | I do. | 16:01 |
| daniskami | Nollog: not if you supply cli arguments | 16:01 |
| Slyboots | Hmm.. okay, going to need space to cleanup first | 16:01 |

| CommonSense | llutz: ok.. so I've got the basic file running, but how do I use its varibles, which is what I need.. | 16:51 |
| sash_ | walla: 404 is "Page doesnt exist" | 16:51 |

| CommonSense | but I get what your sayin | 16:52 |
| gjesvik | When I boot my laptop ubuntu works fine until "Starting boot logger bootlogd" and then everything stops | 16:53 |
| llutz | CommonSense: :D run the commands like you do in a terminal, it should do the same job | 16:53 |

| gjesvik | Correction: It apparently stops booting, but it accepts keyboard input | 16:54 |
| Preposteruss | yeah | 16:54 |
| Preposteruss | eee pc 1001p | 16:54 |

| Remmaze | guys, 1 question : all this Facebook hacking happening now, are they got to do with the OS that we`re using? | 16:56 |
| tobago | doing "sudo zcat /tmp/boot.img.gz > /dev/sdf1" i receive a "Permission Denied".why the hell? | 16:56 |
| llutz | CommonSense: call scripts with full pathes <- and read man-page "environment" part again | 16:56 |
| rohithwiz23 | Can someone give me a command in the Terminal so I can tell if I installed openVC correctly | 16:56 |
| llutz | tobago: zcat file |sudo tee /dev.... | 16:56 |
| llutz | tobago: sudo echo redirection won't work | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Remmaze: depends, is the "hacking" affecting windows only? It depends on the parogative of "they" | 16:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Remmaze: they make make something to attack ubuntu only in some way | 16:57 |
| CommonSense | llutz: still nothing :p | 16:57 |
| tobago | llutz, "sudo zcat /tmp/boot.img.gz |sudo tee /dev/sdf1"? | 16:57 |
| llutz | tobago: yes | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Remmaze: there are too many what-ifs to give any sort of answer | 16:58 |
| Remmaze | should i be worry? cuz im running ubuntu 9.10 | 16:58 |
| rohithwiz23 | Can someone give me a command in the Terminal so I can tell if I installed openVC correctly?? | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | Remmaze: just keep using your system as user and your system will be quite safe, any security will be attended if and when it is noticed | 16:58 |
| ActionParsnip | rohithwiz23: dpkg -l | grep open | grep vc | 16:59 |
| llutz | tobago: sorry, just zcat, no sudo needed left of the pipe | 16:59 |
| Remmaze | thanx man... | 16:59 |
| tobago | llutz, then all is piped to stdout! | 16:59 |
| Remmaze | cuz, theres alot of news regarding peoples FB account got Hacked and stuff... | 17:00 |
| thevishy | how do i make my hdd mount automatically during boot | 17:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | thevishy | 17:00 |
| ubottu | thevishy: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:01 |
| rohithwiz23 | ActionParsnip: What am i supposed to get in respons? | 17:01 |
| Preposteruss | you can connect to facebook through https. | 17:01 |
| tobago | llutz, i better cancel it.# | 17:01 |
| gp5st_ | would someone be able to pm their source.list i think something is wrong on this computer, ff won't start and a couple of other weird things | 17:02 |
| Remmaze | Preposteruss: good idea... | 17:02 |
| gjesvik | Anyone know? Bootlogd? | 17:02 |
| gjesvik | Why is it stopping my boot? | 17:02 |
| llutz | tobago:try sudo sh -c "zcat file >...." | 17:02 |
| steven_ | <ActionParsnip> would gnu lamage be the right place to start | 17:03 |
| gp5st_ | what does it mean when a package has been kept back in apt? | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gjesvik: you could disable it using bum etc, boot logging isnt hugely essential | 17:04 |
| Preposteruss | is there anything like the fpaste program for ubuntu? where I can pipe <command> and it uploads the output to a pastebin? | 17:04 |
| happyface | why does my wifi card not show up in nm-applet unless I reinstall gnome-network-manager and reboot? | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gp5st_: it means the package is on the repo but its dependancies havent been met yet so apt will not install them | 17:04 |
| llutz | gp5st_: it depends on other packages, not being updated yet | 17:04 |
| om26er | gp5st_, it means there are some dependency problems | 17:04 |
| gjesvik | ActionParsnip: Thank you. However I am not able to pass any commands to the OS because it will not boot | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | gp5st_: when the deps get met they will be installed | 17:04 |
| gjesvik | Loading bum simply isn't possible. | 17:05 |
| tobago | llutz, yep! that's it. thanks | 17:05 |
| gp5st_ | ActionParsnip, llutz om26er thanks | 17:05 |
| ActionParsnip | gjesvik: could boot to livecd and chroot | 17:05 |
| llutz | tobago: odd, tee should have worked too... | 17:05 |
| gjesvik | excellent | 17:05 |
| gjesvik | will try | 17:05 |
| gjesvik | Thank you. | 17:06 |
| tobago | llutz, no it didn't. but sh -c does well! | 17:06 |
| om26er | gp5st_, :) | 17:06 |
| isolat3dsh33p | heya peeps, how do I chroot? I run updates on Windows XP and not grub can't boot properly :( | 17:06 |

| blakkheim | isolat3dsh33p: man chroot | 17:07 |
| isolat3dsh33p | blakkheim, it doesn't give much help :/ | 17:08 |
| gp5st_ | ugh, i think i may have done something for god only knows what reason and it's frelling this computer up. i'm upgrading to 9.10 and hoping that'll fix these errors | 17:08 |
| cheako | Hello, on Thunderbird how can I cahnge the IMAP Trash folder to be "Deleted items" instead? | 17:08 |
| blakkheim | isolat3dsh33p: it tells you everything about it.. | 17:08 |
| cheako | This is to match the webmail. | 17:08 |
| gp5st_ | well i'm going to head out | 17:09 |
| gp5st_ | take care all | 17:09 |
| gp5st_ | thanks again | 17:09 |
| cheako | For all the other folders this is adjustable. | 17:09 |
| Dinox | isolat3dsh33p : try boot into cd http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page | 17:10 |

| dyek | For a linux-image package build that is almost completing, except for an error in debian/control package name, would running a second time this command "AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic" be much faster? Or does "dh_clean -k" triggers "debian/rules clean" and recompiles the source tree clean? | 17:14 |
| Slyboots | Is it just me, or is Ubuntu grou control really.. weak | 17:14 |
| didiermah | bonjour | 17:15 |
| ikonia | Slyboots: what ? | 17:15 |
| Slyboots | Say, in this example I have 3 groups. A, B and C.. I want to give everyone in group A Full control over a directory, B should have read-only access only and C should have no access at all | 17:15 |
| Slyboots | But.. I can only assign one group to a folder | 17:15 |
| ikonia | Slyboots: that is how unix permissions work, it's nothing to do with ubuntu, all unix and linux works like that, once you learn how to control it, it's very powerful | 17:16 |
| Dink | Can someone point to the right direction on how to create "noarch" deb files? Want to create a .deb that would run on both 64 and 32 if that is possible. | 17:16 |
| pastelito | hellow | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Dink: noarch is for packages that do not contain binary data, eg: config files, or theme files, | 17:17 |
| pastelito | aloo alooo | 17:17 |
| pastelito | hola holaaa | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Dink: you can't make a 64bit software package "noarch" and it will work on both 32/64bit | 17:17 |
| ikonia | !es | pastelito | 17:17 |
| ubottu | pastelito: 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. | 17:17 |
| Dink | ikonia, ok thanks that answers my question. Will create two .deb then. Thanks for the help. | 17:18 |

| seanbrystone | is there a way to limit how much hard drive space a program or directory can have? woke up this morning found out a VIM swp file was taking 46 gigs! (assuming the program went bonkers or something) Would like to prevent this from happening again! | 17:18 |
| ikonia | no, "hi" has been around for ages | 17:19 |
| emma | is that the only thing it listens to? | 17:19 |
| _1domagoj1_ | i was wondering if anyone could help me with a little problem | 17:19 |
| ikonia | no there are some other triggers (I don't remember them) | 17:19 |
| abhi_nav | hmmm | 17:19 |
| emma | i need to get that. | 17:20 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | Pici, why ? this is the first time I'm trying to join #php | 17:22 |

| ^mNotIntelligent | Nollog, if you are able to join and I'm not then may be something is wrong with my account | 17:23 |

| omerta | hi i'm using kubuntu, how do i change my ip address (static, manual not dhcp) and dns servers using gui mode | 17:23 |
| greezmunkey | Nollog, "locate python" in a terminal | 17:23 |
| Haegin | ^mNotIntelligent: what is the 'some msg' you refer to that you get when you join before it bumps you to ##overflow? | 17:24 |
| dbdii407 | or python --version ? | 17:24 |
| _1domagoj1_ | cant you update grub by simply typing in terminal: sudo update-grub ? | 17:24 |
| Nollog | I could /exec -o it but I'm afraid it would spam you. :p | 17:24 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ikonia, my grub can't load after Windows XP update. I'm not sure what's wrong. So, I want to try to update grub using my LiveCD | 17:24 |
| Slyboots | I really cant see any way of doing this | 17:24 |
| ikonia | isolat3dsh33p: what error do you get ? | 17:24 |
| Slyboots | I can only assign control to one group, if I try to assign a second or two at a time it overwrites/fails | 17:24 |
| ikonia | Slyboots: yes, that is how unix file system permissions work | 17:25 |
| rohithwiz23 | I have a webcamera at pipeline "v4l2src device="/dev/video1" Is it possible to change it?? | 17:25 |
| Slyboots | ikonia: that seems.. powerfuly stupid | 17:25 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ikonia, none. When I boot. I can only see 'grub loading' for a while and then it boots back. Is it MBR problem? | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Slyboots: look on wikipedia at unix file systems to get a better understanding | 17:25 |
| Slyboots | how on learth can you manage a multi-user system with it like that | 17:25 |
| Stargaze | Slyboots, feel free to to invent a better system | 17:25 |
| ikonia | Slyboots: then don't use it if it doesn't meet your needs | 17:25 |
| vivid | omerta, ive never heard of a gui application that actually worked. its fairly easy to do via command line though | 17:25 |
| Slyboots | Is not like I have a choice of changing it o.o | 17:25 |
| Haegin | Slyboots: that is what groups are for, create a new group with everyone you want to be able to do stuff with whatever you want to do stuff with in and set that as the group | 17:25 |
| Haegin | or use ACLs | 17:25 |
| Haegin | !ACL | 17:26 |
| llutz | Slyboots: unix-permissions are really limited, have you tried using ACLs | 17:26 |
| omerta | vivid, i could change those in ubuntu using gui mode | 17:26 |
| Slyboots | ... whats a ACL? | 17:26 |
| Haegin | ACLs == Access Control Lists | 17:26 |
| ikonia | !grub2 > isolat3dsh33p | 17:26 |
| omerta | vivid, but i'm new to kubuntu, i have no idea | 17:26 |
| ubottu | isolat3dsh33p, please see my private message | 17:26 |
| Slyboots | Oh, yea Access con.. Like windows? | 17:26 |
| vivid | omerta, really? what application | 17:26 |
| _1domagoj1_ | so, what do you think should I kill update manager since it's updating kernel, and then update via terminal? | 17:26 |
| Haegin | Slyboots: I wouldn't know - I don't use windows | 17:26 |
| omerta | vivid, you just right click your network and change it | 17:26 |
| Vigo | !grub2 | namehere | 17:26 |
| Slyboots | Well, how do I use ACLs? | 17:26 |
| ubottu | namehere: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:27 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: probably kill update manager then run the update from a terminal to see what you get | 17:27 |
| dbdii407 | So no one knows the link to the development server? | 17:27 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: it might need you to run apt-get -f install first to fix stuff up | 17:27 |
| ikonia | dbdii407: what development servers? for what ? | 17:27 |
| Haegin | dbdii407: if you mean the dev channel it's #ubuntu-devel or was last time I checked | 17:27 |
| Vigo | opps, srry | 17:27 |
| rohithwiz23 | How can I change the systems default pipline for webcam?? | 17:27 |
| dbdii407 | ikonia, There's a development server somewhere that has the wallpapers and stuff | 17:28 |
| Haegin | Slyboots: I'd start by googling it. Haven't used them myself. | 17:28 |
| ldiamond | I am currently trying to transfer large files to a USB HDD for backup, however, the transfer keeps pausing and resuming. Anyone know why? It starts at 40MB/s and lowers to 25MB/s then. | 17:28 |
| isolat3dsh33p | ikonia, damn... That'll do. Thanks. :) | 17:28 |
| _1domagoj1_ | thank you haegin, ill try that. i just pray that it doesnt mess my os, cause i need it, and i dont have time to repair it :) | 17:28 |
| ikonia | dbdii407: Im not sure what you are talking about | 17:28 |
| Slyboots | Mhh. okay | 17:28 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: just don't reboot until you are sure it's okay | 17:28 |
| vivid | omerta, i dont know what kubuntu uses, try asking them in #kubuntu, all i know is the sure fire way to do it in any *nix | 17:28 |
| CommonSense | anyone know a visual cron editor? | 17:28 |
| dbdii407 | at the bottom, it says 'no hotlinking' or something | 17:28 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: also if you do have problems try one of the older kernels or boot in recovery mode | 17:28 |
| blakkheim | CommonSense: xterm -e vi | 17:28 |
| omerta | vivid, can you send me a tutorial | 17:28 |
| omerta | vivid, a link? | 17:29 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: problem is i dont know how to be sure :O | 17:29 |
| ikonia | dbdii407: theydont' sound like official ubuntu servers | 17:29 |
| seanbrystone | CommonSense, gnome-schedule or something like that | 17:29 |
| niekie | ldiamond: I am currently getting around 25MB/s while running a backup to USB operation, so assuming that's pretty normal. | 17:29 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: if you can install stuff normally and run apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade normally it's probably fine | 17:29 |
| niekie | My backup operation has to hurry though. AC socket of my laptop died and I can't charge it anymore :( | 17:29 |
| ldiamond | niekie, does the transfer keep pausing and resuming? It is very unlikely that it buffers around 400MB every times. | 17:29 |
| Haegin | dbdii407: do you mean art.gnome.org or gnomelook.org ? | 17:30 |
| rohithwiz23 | Is it possible to change the systems default pipline for the webcam if it is how do you do change it??? | 17:30 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: can you also tell me how to run os with older kernel? i belive older kernels are saved? | 17:30 |
| dbdii407 | Haegin, Nope | 17:30 |
| seanbrystone | is there a way to limit how much hard drive space a program or directory can have? woke up this morning found out a VIM swp file was taking 46 gigs! (assuming the program went bonkers or something) Would like to prevent this from happening again! | 17:30 |
| vivid | omerta, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html this is how i would do it | 17:30 |
| dbdii407 | Haegin, It was a server that just listed files | 17:30 |

| omerta | thank you vivid | 17:31 |
| dyek | For a linux-image package build that is almost completing, except for an error in debian/control package name, would running a second time this command "AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic" be much faster? Or does "dh_clean -k" triggers "debian/rules clean" and recompiles the source tree clean? I'm looking for a debian command that continues only the packaging step. | 17:31 |
| dbdii407 | with a "this server is only for development.. blah.." message | 17:31 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: when it boots it will either give you a list of kernels or say something about pressing esc to enter grub. Pressing escape gets you to the list of kernels. Just pick one lower than the top. They come in pairs - the first is the kernel normally, the second is the kernel in recovery mode which boots to a terminal and some options. if you aren't comfortable in the terminal stay away from recovery mode for now. | 17:31 |
| greezmunkey | seanbrystone, sounds like you want to assign disk quotas | 17:31 |
| Haegin | _1domagoj1_: if you have a live cd you can always use that to get on here and ask for more help | 17:31 |
| ph8 | can i migrate a live server from 64 bit to 32 bit? it's in my house so not a big worry if it crashes too hard | 17:31 |
| seanbrystone | greezmunkey, yep something like that, do you know how? | 17:31 |
| Haegin | dbdii407: no idea then, unlikely to be widely known tbh. Check you browser history if you have it backed up anywhere. | 17:32 |
| rohithwiz23 | My web cameras pipeline is v4l2src device="/dev/video1" Is it possible to change it to v4l2src device="/dev/video0" the application i am using seems to only look at v4l2src device="/dev/video0" | 17:32 |
| niekie | ldiamond: mine pauses very briefly occassionally. | 17:32 |
| Haegin | ph8: short answer - no | 17:32 |
| dbdii407 | Haegin, Fresh reinstall. don't have the link | 17:32 |
| Vigo | ph8: make a backup | 17:32 |
| dbdii407 | Wouldn't be asking if I had a way to find it | 17:32 |
| ph8 | yeh guess i will | 17:32 |
| greezmunkey | seanbrystone, It's been a while, I'd have to look it up. I remember issues with it though... | 17:32 |
| Haegin | rohithwiz23: better would be to find the config file for that application that used /dev/video0 and change it there. | 17:32 |
| seanbrystone | greezmunkey, ok thanks anyways :) | 17:33 |
| Sioux_33 | hi i was comparing just now windows support irc channel versus ubuntu irc channel on windows no one is asking anything there is quiet like in grave over here is like market in nigeria 5questions/sec im not even able to read them its to fast | 17:33 |
| Haegin | dbdii407: well, I don't know it and if you don't know it you might have to resort to googling for the phrases you can remember from the site. | 17:33 |
| greezmunkey | seanbrystone, command repquota will show ant current quotas... | 17:33 |
| seanbrystone | ok | 17:34 |
| Haegin | Sioux_33: this is a busy channel. if you end up with a complicated issue you may end up in a PM with someone to cut out the babble. Alternatively ignore join part and quits can help | 17:34 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: thank you, i belive i am pretty comfy with terminal so that should not be problem. as regarding live cd hehe, well, i dont have functional cd drive, and i formated usb from which i installed os, but if ill need, i will make another one | 17:34 |
| tome0 | I suspect the directory database of my harddrive has been corrupted. I cant find the drive with either disk utiity, gparted or df. However I did manage to write 1024 bytes to it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1024 count=1024, what tools can I use to be able to rebuild the directory database? | 17:34 |
| yogione | what is a good screen sharing app for ubuntu | 17:34 |
| greezmunkey | seanbrystone, quotaon, quotacheck, also you can base quotas on groups - probably the easiest way to implement | 17:35 |
| hmw | vivid: xset s off and xset dpms 0 0 0 did not do the trick, it just turned the monitor off again... i did not yet try to set those thing in xorg.conf, though. | 17:35 |
| seanbrystone | yeah i had to install quota | 17:35 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: thx for help, gosh i just hope everything goes well | 17:35 |
| seanbrystone | so now im 'man repquota' greezmunkey thanks :) | 17:36 |
| greezmunkey | seanbrystone, I forgot edquota :) | 17:36 |
| vivid | hmw, you have to issue those commands every time you log in | 17:36 |
| vivid | hmw, if you relogged, you lost that setting and it was turned back on | 17:36 |
| hmw | vivid: oh, of course, i did in fact kill my X server :) oops | 17:36 |
| vivid | hmw, you can add those to System>Preferences>Startup Applications and it will do it automatically every time you log in | 17:36 |
| petsounds | hi all. any idea why i can't run gwibber from daily ppa? when i try to run from terminal it keeps telling me about desktop couch and here's the output http://pastebin.ca/1839702 thanks =) | 17:36 |

| abhi_nav | hi | 17:49 |
| hmw | Brickrat: please stay in this channel | 17:49 |
| hmw | Brickrat: i didnt get your PM | 17:49 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: i did sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:49 |
| _1domagoj1_ | haegin: then i got some output which i can post to your PM not to spam this channel and after running these commands, restart required window poped up | 17:51 |
| obeyence | Would anyone care to help me in my endevor of using Wine to play Stalker CoP? I have been trying to play for days. I spend all day yesterday (12+ hours) trying to get it to work and i failed. I need help. | 17:51 |
| bolex | is it possible to setup GRUB on one flash drive and have that startup a seperate USB hdd or would different computers mix up the device numbers? | 17:51 |
| ikonia | obeyence: have you tried the wineo channel | 17:51 |
| abhi_nav | bolex: you can install another os on use hdd or pen drive | 17:52 |
| Stargaze | !wine| obeyence | 17:52 |
| ubottu | obeyence: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 17:52 |
| ikonia | bolex: using grub on non-static devices can get complex | 17:52 |
| abhi_nav | bolex and to boot from that os you need to enable boot from usb drive in bios | 17:52 |
| abhi_nav | ?? | 17:52 |
| _1domagoj1_ | so, what should i do now, any proposals? | 17:52 |
| bolex | cause grub always works on the tiny flash drive but that one is slow and.. tiny. So I tried putting Xubuntu on a bigger one but i have to reinstall grub every time i run it there | 17:53 |
| abhi_nav | oh sorry i am confused you continue | 17:53 |
| _1domagoj1_ | anyone? any advice? so, i killed update manager in the middle of process, ran sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade restart required window poped up, and i got few errors in terminal. should i restart? | 17:56 |
| logankoester | When I restart sshd through ssh, should I be getting disconnected? | 17:57 |
| llutz | _1domagoj1_: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 17:57 |
| greezmunkey | logankoester, sounds about right! | 17:57 |
| Ardethian | oO | 17:58 |
| _1domagoj1_ | IIutz: i did that | 17:58 |
| llutz | logankoester: no | 17:58 |
| llutz | _1domagoj1_: why do you paste wrong commands repeatetly then? | 17:59 |
| _1domagoj1_ | llutz: then as i said restart required popped up | 17:59 |
| === Mowiiii`Aw is now known as Mowee | ||

| logankoester | thanks llutz. Why not? | 17:59 |
| autoclesis | intel core i5-650 is okay? | 17:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | shift+2 gives a " instead of a @, anyone run into this problem before? (question isn't for me personally, can't test) | 18:00 |
| llutz | logankoester: good question... i don't know, but it won't kick you out | 18:00 |
| _1domagoj1_ | zykotick9: you have wrong keyboard layout= | 18:01 |
| _1domagoj1_ | '* | 18:01 |
| _1domagoj1_ | ?* | 18:01 |
| llutz | ZykoticK9: not a problem, default here (de keyboard) ;) | 18:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | llutz, thanks i'll pass that along | 18:02 |
| bolexx | can't i use a uuid instead of a (hd1,5) in grub? | 18:03 |
| greezmunkey | logankoester, how are you killing sshd? | 18:03 |
| bolexx | that would seem to solve my problem of using the drive on multiple computers | 18:03 |

| ChogyDan | CAPcap: I think the answer is no | 18:04 |
| ChogyDan | CAPcap: or maybe xfree86 | 18:05 |
| Stargaze | oak, try using gufw (graphic) | 18:05 |
| bolexx | so my actual question: Is the UUID of a device persistent across different computers? | 18:05 |
| markd25 | yes | 18:05 |
| llutz | bolexx: yes, its "part" of the filesystem | 18:05 |
| CAPcap | ChogyDan, thanks | 18:06 |
| oak | Stargaze: I've actually added the ports, a few times, but they refuse to work propperly. Do I use tcp, udf, or both? | 18:06 |
| bolexx | so can i just do root a8aa4adb-b3e6-4e1d-b4ad-e6cd704788b2 in grub instead of (hd2,5) ? | 18:06 |
| llutz | bolexx:afaik it needs special notation for using uuids , read grub-documentation | 18:06 |

| molqr | jrib, gnome-terminal | 18:21 |
| erUSUL | molqr: emacs keybindings. crtl + spc to mark the init of the text then move to the end and do Alt + w | 18:21 |
| greezmunkey | xiong: thank you. | 18:21 |
| jrib | molqr: and? | 18:21 |
| xiong | greezmunkey, I agree that it's a nonstandard use of minor revision numbers. | 18:21 |
| molqr | erUSUL, aha .. let me try that :) | 18:21 |
| vimninja2000 | so I am trying to use verizon on Ubuntu and it seems to have just automatically connected for me | 18:21 |

| molqr | jrib, i don't use screen and i don't know what tmux is | 18:23 |
| jrib | molqr: well using screen or tmux would be one way to copy and paste without a mouse in your terminal | 18:24 |
| vimninja2000 | ok nevermind, weirdness | 18:24 |
| molqr | jrib, i see ... thanks | 18:24 |

| ZykoticK9 | Turbolinux, "soundconverter" is a Gnome converter for audio files -- FYI you're going to lose quality going from a lossy to lossy format like ogg to mp3 | 19:21 |

| ZykoticK9 | Turbolinux, ok i was just mentioning | 19:24 |

| ash30 | To those that are familiar with GRUB 2. I have to find a way to remove all entries from the boot menu, except for those I've made in the 40_custom file. How should I do it? | 19:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | ilgeniodelmale, please stop with the !list it won't work | 19:25 |

| hmw | xfact: i dont understand "taking a disk off" | 19:25 |
| Losha | ash30: hand edit the resulting grub.cfg file, and just live with the fact that every time there's a kernel/grub update you'll have to re-edit... | 19:25 |
| hmw | xfact: ah... ok, got it... uhm... *thinking* | 19:25 |

| ash30 | losha: it is impossible to hand edit the grub.cfg, even in root mode | 19:26 |
| hmw | xfact: if you are lucky, you can re-format the disk. It's possible that you killed the disk :( | 19:26 |
| Losha | ash30: nonsense... | 19:26 |
| xfact | hmw, well, a RW disk can be killed? | 19:26 |
| ash30 | losha: nope, it's the way grub 2 is designed | 19:26 |
| hmw | xfact: yes, i destroyed one, once. | 19:27 |
| skullcandy | hey guys, how do you move the concky file to the right side of the desktop ? | 19:27 |
| hmw | skullcandy: read the manual... man conky | 19:27 |
| seanbrystone | whats the command to see if a kernel module is loaded? I tried sudo modprobe quota_v2 | 19:27 |

| abstrakt | is there a default firewall turned on in Ubuntu 9.10 ? | 19:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | abstrakt, nope | 19:28 |
| Boondoklife | abstrakt: there should not be | 19:28 |
| ash30 | losha: wtf? how did you manage to save the changes to grub.cfg? editing it via sudo won't work! | 19:28 |
| chris__ | o | 19:28 |
| bakeneko | Could use a live CD. | 19:28 |
| chris__ | hello | 19:29 |
| abstrakt | k, so if i wanted to turn on a firewall with some relatively sane default settings, what rule set should i use? | 19:29 |
| Leonard | If I have used make && make install to install something in ubuntu, then uninstall to remove, what do I need to do to make it again? | 19:29 |
| jrib | !grub2 | ash30 | 19:29 |
| ubottu | ash30: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 19:29 |
| xfact | ash30, Please be kind and cool | 19:29 |
| Leonard | I want to make with other settings then install again | 19:29 |
| abstrakt | i basically just don't want anyone to be able to even try to connect | 19:29 |
| abstrakt | unless it's one of the few regular applications i use and I initiate the connection | 19:29 |
| ilgeniodelmale | ciao aiutatemi perpiacere per ottenere la lista? | 19:29 |
| Losha | ash30: dunno why you say that. It's just a text file. update-grub writes to it.... | 19:29 |
| ChogyDan | Leonard: make clean? | 19:29 |
| jrib | Leonard: depends on the software... but you probably want to run ./configure again with your new options before you run make | 19:29 |
| Leonard | ok | 19:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | !checkinstall > Leonard | 19:29 |
| ubottu | Leonard, please see my private message | 19:29 |
| abstrakt | what's a sane default ruleset? | 19:29 |
| cryptica | ash30: you can simply make the other scripts (10_linux etc.) non-executable so only 40_custom gets used | 19:29 |
| abstrakt | and is there any gui type system that will bring up a dialog notifying me when one of my programs is blocked by the firewall and will allow me to add an exception for that program on the fly? | 19:30 |
| Losha | !it | ilgeniodelmale | 19:30 |
| abstrakt | or is it all still manual text editing for now? | 19:30 |
| ubottu | ilgeniodelmale: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 19:30 |

| ikonia | !info linux-image | 19:31 |
| seanbrystone | whats the command to see if a kernel module is loaded? I tried sudo modprobe quota_v2 | 19:31 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.20.33 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) | 19:31 |
| Leonard | seanbrystone: lsmod | 19:31 |
| ikonia | seanbrystone: lsmod | 19:31 |
| seanbrystone | thanks :) | 19:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Seanbrystone: lsmod | less | 19:31 |
| ChogyDan | ash30: fyi, the file is locked because they really want you to try and make the builder scripts work out for you, ie write your own custom script at the worst | 19:31 |
| Boondoklife | abstrakt: you can use gufw. but it doesnt notify you if something is blocked | 19:32 |
| ikonia | Leonard: make the build directory | 19:32 |
| === horndog_ is now known as horndog | ||
| Boondoklife | abstrakt: it does give you a gui to start/stop the firewall and add exceptions. | 19:32 |
| Leonard | ikonia: how? It was already there when I got the kernel headers | 19:32 |
| ikonia | Leonard: just do a mkdir, not sure why it's gone | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Leonard: sudo mkdir /folder/you/need | 19:32 |
| soreau | seanbrystone: If you don't get any output from the modprobe command, it's usually a sign of success. Use 'lsmod' to view the list of currently loaded kernel modules | 19:33 |
| ash30 | ChogyDan: where should I look for a tutorial on making custom scripts for the task? never done it before, used to simply edit menu.lst... | 19:33 |
| Leonard | ok | 19:33 |
| soreau | seanbrystone: Also, you can see the output of 'dmesg' for other messages | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Ash30: menu.lst isn't used for scripting tasks, its for editting grub legacy | 19:33 |

| ActionParsnip | !kernel | leonard, have you read this? | 19:36 |
| mattish | good evening | 19:36 |
| ikonia | Leonard: have you read the Makefile to see what options are there | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | !hi | mattish | 19:36 |
| Besogon | doleyb, Imagine that on one server (part of cloud) we have got installed a video game which requires many video card resurses. Do you think clients could play in it? | 19:36 |
| ikonia | Leonard: or the README or INSTALL files ? | 19:36 |
| ActionParsnip | I guess ubottu is sleeping | 19:36 |
| Leonard | I didnt install till after the initial make | 19:36 |
| ubottu | leonard, have you read this?: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 19:36 |
| Dougdoug4 | Hello. Cheese seem to glitch itself whenever I start the program. It begins taking 1-3 photos, then stops for like 0.9 seconds, and then epic spams me taking nearly 100 photos and making the entire screen white. | 19:36 |
| ubottu | mattish: 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! | 19:36 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: running slow | 19:36 |
| Dougdoug4 | My Webcam works fine with other programs such as Skype, and if I press spacebar (the Cheese hotkey to take a photo) enough times, the picture taking spam stops, and Cheese runs normally. | 19:36 |
| Losha | ash30: or try making grub.cfg writable before you edit it... | 19:36 |
| ikonia | Leonard: did it make ok, no warnings or error ? | 19:37 |
| mattish | something alittle odd, df is showing /dev/sda2 mounted on /home as 20gb | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikonia: gotcha, she's still kickass | 19:37 |
| Leonard | yeah- told me to uninstall and unload - I did that | 19:37 |
| CAPcap | how do i go about completely uninstalling then reinstalling gnome. im working inside xfce | 19:37 |
| mattish | yet the partition is definately 58gb (ish) | 19:37 |
| abstrakt | Boondoklife, ok cool thanks | 19:37 |

| wongon | can anybody point me to a good resource for how to set up an internet connection on ubuntu on my laptop? I've installed ubuntu already, but plugging the ethernet cable from my desktop into my laptop doesn't work... | 19:37 |
| Losha | mattish: ext4 filesystem? | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Losha: any edits will be wiped next kernel install which is why editting it is not advised | 19:37 |
| mattish | yes Losha | 19:37 |
| Leonard | ikonia: no - that error was from the make | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: run; sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product lines. | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Leonard: so why did you do "make install" ? | 19:38 |
| Losha | ActionParsnip: Agreed. But it's an easy way to cheat if you can live with it... | 19:38 |
| ikonia | Leonard: that's clear it's not make sucessfully | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: if you see an ip addrss assigned you will need to manually add dns | 19:38 |
| Losha | mattish: I seem to recall this is a known bug in ext4. Check google... | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Losha: better to use the long term fix ;) | 19:38 |
| CAPcap | how do i go about completely uninstalling then reinstalling GNOME? im working inside xfce. | 19:39 |
| mattish | Losha, so im guessing it is actually 58gb (ish) as i created it just reporting it wrong | 19:39 |
| wongon | ActionParsnip: what do I use to see what ip address is assigned? ifconfig? | 19:39 |
| q0_0p | how do i get my eth0 back to working? i commented port 80 in /etc/services just to test to see if it would disable port 80. then the network woudln't give me an IP afterwards. I uncommented it out and still to no avail | 19:39 |
| q0_0p | im not able to get an ip doing sudo dhcpd eth0 | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: if there are no ip addresses assigned, you can websearch for the product lines to find guides on configuring the device | 19:40 |
| mcsmurf | hi, what does a "+" or "-" sign in front of a time server mean when reading the output of "ntpq -p"? the man page does not seem to mention what that means | 19:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: you will only need tools if you do not use dhcp | 19:40 |
| Leonard | ikonia: you may have missed my earlier message, sorry. I originally ran make with no problems, then make install, and all went fine. However the wireless hardware didn't work, so I ran the unload/uninstall as it said in the readme and tried to run make again so I could try different settings | 19:41 |
| ActionParsnip | <q0_0p>: what about if you set the ip to static? | 19:41 |
| q0_0p | ActionParsnip, will try | 19:41 |
| wongon | For some reason, I do not see an 'inet addr' but only an 'inet6 addr' on my ubuntu laptop, but I do see both of those on my ubuntu desktop | 19:42 |
| ChogyDan | !purexfce > CAPcap | 19:42 |
| ubottu | CAPcap, please see my private message | 19:42 |
| wongon | when I run 'ifconfig' | 19:42 |
| CAPcap | thanks ChogyDan | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | <q0_0p>: if it is a desktop that never moves you can remove network manager and configure with the interfaces file. This will make it boot faster and use less ram due to no app running | 19:42 |
| mattish | ActionParsnip, what is the exact package to remove to get rid of network manager ? | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: then you are failing dhcp | 19:43 |
| mattish | as its annoying me, really doesnt work well with my 4port nic :( | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Mattish: networkmanager I believe, search in software center | 19:44 |
| wongon | what command can I use to set up dhcp? | 19:44 |
| ikonia | wongon: the default is dhcp enabled | 19:44 |
| ikonia | wongon: it should already be enabled | 19:44 |
| Slart | wongon: client or server? | 19:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: dhcp is defaul. You can trt: sudo dhclient eth0 | 19:44 |
| Apache_33 | <mattish> network manager and network manager common remove it using synaptic | 19:44 |
| macman_ | hi all .. trying to capture a video from a website .. there a way to grab rtmp streams ? | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Wongon: if you don't get dhcp you will need to see if your wired nic needs config. May even need ndiswrapper | 19:45 |
| mattish | ta Apache_33 I only ask as last time i tried to remove it the list of extra packages being removed was huge, so i freaked and canceled the removal | 19:45 |
| CAPcap | ChogyDan, to reinstall GNOME after i remove it i would < sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop >? | 19:45 |
| lkvv | he prwoblem might be with yore connection | 19:45 |
| Apache_33 | nope | 19:45 |
| Apache_33 | i removed it too | 19:45 |
| Apache_33 | and use wicd | 19:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Apache_33: me too on my lappy. The desktop and servers use interfaces file :) | 19:46 |
| ChogyDan | CAPcap: sure | 19:46 |

| gugu | Regarding openoffice, What exactly are use cases for base and calc? When should I use base and when calc? | 19:46 |
| Slart | tome0: I think it uses compression | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Tome0: config files and a lot of compression | 19:46 |
| Slart | tome0: might be a ramdisk in there too | 19:46 |
| gugu | I mean what can one program do that the other can not? | 19:47 |

| mattish | my ubuntu box has to run on 1gb, with 512 dedicated to my xp vm | 19:48 |
| tome0 | If / is larger than what contains in my RAM, then where is it? | 19:48 |
| mattish | runs quite happy :) | 19:48 |
| Slart | tome0: compressed | 19:48 |
| tome0 | okay | 19:48 |
| lkvv | i think the ram is not mounted correctly | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tome0: it will run in ram during install and will install to hdd if asked. The whole 4gb isn't used in the live session. Most is swapped in and out as apps are used | 19:49 |
| lkvv | fix the road signs | 19:49 |
| sYskk | how do you permanently trust a server certificate ?? | 19:49 |
| sYskk | i got to get the .crt file but i dont know how | 19:49 |
| tome0 | Has anyone ever had the filesystem of a harddrive become corrupt so that disk utility cant even find the disk? | 19:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Tome0: I've had motors die but that's it | 19:50 |

| jolaren_ | the first time I installed my server I had 1000gig.. now when I reinstalled it said I only have 920 gig.. what hapend? | 19:50 |
| tome0 | jrock2004: how did you fix it? | 19:50 |
| jrock2004 | tome0: Is it sata or IDE? | 19:51 |
| tome0 | jrock2004: sata | 19:51 |
| Apache_33 | <jolaren> thats really only:) | 19:51 |
| lkvv | gparted | 19:51 |
| mikelifeguard | How can I check if I have anything installed from 'multiverse'? | 19:51 |
| ActionParsnip | Jolaren_: base 2 numbers rarely go to nice round numbers. Just like 37gb drives read as 35gb and 250 are 248 | 19:51 |
| tome0 | gparted doesnt find it either | 19:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Jrock2004: all drives are ide ;) | 19:52 |
| jrock2004 | tome0: If you boot into bios is it detected | 19:52 |

| tome0 | mark286: /server -m | 19:53 |
| RumblePure | Not the first time stuff that I install wont fall where I expect them to be. Any ideas where they might have gone? | 19:53 |
| Thundarr | markdan: than*, not then | 19:53 |
| wongon | I right clicked on my connection icon on the upper right, went down to 'edit connections', then highlighted 'eth0', and the connection info on both my laptop and desktop ubuntu is identical. However, using the same cable, I can only get connection to my desktop. | 19:53 |
| tjingboem | i have no borders around the windows. How can i get these back? | 19:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Rumblepure: try: which sphinx | 19:53 |
| tome0 | mark286: more specific /server -m irc.quakenet.org for example | 19:53 |
| jrock2004 | tome0: Try booting a livecd and mount drive to see if it works | 19:53 |

| tjingboem | thanks | 19:54 |
| mab1376 | can anyone give me some help setting up dropbear ssh server | 19:55 |
| acicula | mab1376: dropbear? | 19:55 |
| yeahyeah | hey,long story short, system crashed, popped in ubuntu live cd, the system can find my HDD but the installer cant find it. if i right click on it i can "mount" it but i cant install ubuntu on it, anyone knows the solution or had the same problem? | 19:55 |
| jrock2004 | tome0: Check dmesg to see it is probably sda something | 19:55 |
| saad_ | Hello | 19:55 |
| mab1376 | its a lightweight ssh server | 19:55 |
| Boondoklife | lkvv: well other than searching for blue in package manager you got me | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Mab1376: openssh-server no good to you? | 19:55 |
| saad_ | Does this channel provide support for xubuntu? | 19:55 |
| mab1376 | just seems more complicated | 19:55 |
| acicula | mab1376: any reason not to use openssh? | 19:55 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_: sure and so does #xubuntu | 19:55 |
| Flannel | saad_: You're welcome to ask, but if it's XFCE specific, #xubuntu might be a better place to ask | 19:55 |
| mab1376 | no | 19:55 |
| niazkaism | hi | 19:56 |
| acicula | mab1376: then stick with openssh ;) | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Mab1376: I see. What extra does it offer? | 19:56 |
| mab1376 | i want to connect from a windows computer using putty to make a web tunnel | 19:56 |
| lkvv | ok thanks | 19:56 |
| jti | hey im having problems with getting my ati graphics card working with a driver in ubuntu | 19:56 |
| saad_ | I just installed xubuntu on a amd athalon 16 | 19:57 |
| jti | can someone tell me a good driver to use with ati and ubuntu | 19:57 |
| jti | radeon | 19:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Mab1376: openssh-server does that. It adheres to the iso standard of what ssh servers supply. If it doesn't, it wouldn't be ssh | 19:57 |
| acicula | jti: what did you do, are you updated to the latest version? | 19:57 |
| yeahyeah | anyone? | 19:57 |
| Apache_33 | <jti> catalyst 10.2 from ati web | 19:57 |
| saad_ | 1600+* with 256mb of ram and it's running really slow everything from opening windows to minimizing | 19:57 |
| Apache_33 | will work with 9.10 | 19:57 |
| jti | im running 9.1 | 19:57 |
| mab1376 | once you isntall openssh it generates public/private keys, where are they? | 19:57 |
| Prabz | Hi, I noticed the file /etc/default/bluetooth is gone in 9.10. Where can I put what one would normally want to put in there now that its gone? | 19:57 |
| acicula | saad_: its fairly low on mem, try minimizing activity to only one open program at a time or using the somewhat lighter xubuntu os | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | !ssh | mab1376 | 19:58 |
| ubottu | mab1376: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 19:58 |

| octet | hello, what application shall i get to use my tv tuner with? | 19:58 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: maybe /etc/bluetooth | 19:58 |
| acicula | octet: vlc? | 19:59 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: what file are you looking for? | 19:59 |
| jrock2004 | octet: Mythtv | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_: make sure you setup your video card and get fully updated | 19:59 |
| mikelifeguard | Is there an easy way to remove any packages that came from no-longer-configured repos in /etc/apt/sources.list? | 19:59 |
| mab1376 | id_dsa.pub ? | 19:59 |
| saad_ | acicula, yes I've tried only opening firefox and even that minimizes really slowly. Even my typing lags | 19:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !tv | Octet | 19:59 |
| ubottu | Octet: http://www.linuxtv.org/ has extensive information about using TV cards under Linux. Available viewers for analog cards: Zapping, tvtime (GTK/GNOME), Kaffeine, kdetv (KDE), xawtv, motv. For digital cards: Me-TV (GNOME), Klear (KDE), dvb-utils. For both analog and digital cards, !MythTV is a powerful framework. Your card may work the !IVTV drivers. See also !TV-Out | 19:59 |

| Prabz | Boondoklife, I'm trying to setup a personal area network, http://webnesbay.com/bluetooth-personal-area-network-in-ubuntu/ | 19:59 |
| saad_ | ActionParsnip, yes I ran all of the updates. | 19:59 |
| saad_ | acicula, I'm on the latest xubuntu os | 20:00 |
| Flannel | mikelifeguard: Under synaptic those are collected under "local or obsolete" packages | 20:00 |
| acicula | saad_: hmm that seems a bit excessive, can you check in a console with top if its really busy, doing things like indexing? | 20:00 |
| mikelifeguard | Flannel: This is on a server, so cli-only :) | 20:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_: can you give the output of: lsb_release -c | 20:00 |
| Guest78526 | i wanna start a new project for linux | 20:01 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: well I have not setup a pan myself but try blueman instead of the default bluetooth applet. I find it a lot more robust and I know it has options in it for PANs | 20:01 |
| germs88 | /server irc.chatster.org | 20:01 |
| tome0 | jrock2004: could it be ata3? | 20:01 |
| mab1376 | once i get the keys, where do i put the public key? | 20:01 |
| saad_ | ActionParsnip, it says codename: Karmic | 20:01 |
| saad_ | acicula, top says I have 4mb of ram free. Should I pastebin the output? | 20:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_: ok and what does: lspci | grep -i vga ,say? | 20:02 |
| acicula | saad_: sure | 20:02 |
| saad_ | ActionParsnip, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 6a) | 20:02 |

| Guest78526 | hey im brand new here and its my first time using IRC | 20:02 |
| yeahyeah | yeah | 20:03 |
| acicula | !welcome | Guest78526 | 20:03 |
| ubottu | Guest78526: 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! | 20:03 |
| Guest78526 | im looking for some help building an app | 20:03 |

| Prabz | Boondoklife, thanks, I'm trying it out | 20:03 |
| mab1376 | can someone give me some help with openssh | 20:03 |
| acicula | !ask | Guest78526 yeahyeah | 20:03 |
| ubottu | Guest78526 yeahyeah: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:03 |
| Guest78526 | oh yeah maybe i can help u yeahyeah | 20:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad: there are guides for those. I think you need an xorg.conf to get a decent display. You won't get compiz running on it though afaik | 20:04 |
| ikonia | mab1376: what's the issue ? | 20:04 |
| acicula | mab1376: public keys are given to whoever wants to authenticate you | 20:04 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: let me know how it goes! | 20:04 |
| Apache_33 | yeah yeahyeah:) | 20:04 |
| mab1376 | so where do i put the private keys? | 20:04 |
| saad_ | acicula, http://pastebin.com/U0N2shXA | 20:04 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, sure | 20:04 |
| acicula | mab1376: somwehere safe | 20:04 |
| * Guest_72174 Slaps Guest78526 | 20:04 | |
| ikonia | mab1376: in your home/$user/.ssh directory | 20:04 |
| yeahyeah | yeah i dont get it | 20:04 |
| acicula | the default .ssh location is standard | 20:04 |
| saad_ | ActionParsnip, oh ok | 20:04 |
| Guest78526 | whats wrong yeahyeah? | 20:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Mab1376: there are guides all over for using keys instead of passwords dude | 20:05 |
| Apache_33 | yeahyeah yeah | 20:05 |
| yeahyeah | the ubuntu live session can find my HDD, but the live cd installer partitioner cant find it :/ | 20:05 |
| === JimmyJ|zz is now known as JimmyJ | ||
| mab1376 | i just dont know how to make the daemon see they key | 20:05 |
| acicula | saad_: seems fine load wise, the graphics lag is not clearing up then | 20:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad: hunt round and you will find sample xorg.conf files you can try | 20:05 |
| obeyence | ! IM BACK! | 20:05 |
| obeyence | weeeee | 20:05 |
| Apache_33 | <obeyence> wb | 20:05 |
| acicula | saad_: so yeah maybe its the video driver | 20:05 |
| mab1376 | when i try and connect it says server refused our key, but connects anyway | 20:05 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, Using Nokia 7210.. still no progress.. | 20:06 |
| ikonia | mab1376: if they are in /home/$user/.ssh and called id_rsa id_dsa it will be picked up by the ssh client | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad: you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access to the file | 20:06 |
| saad_ | ActionParsnip, what should I be looking for? trident microsystems cyberblade xorg.conf file? | 20:06 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: did you check under the blueman network settings? there are options there for pan and what not | 20:06 |
| saad_ | oh ok | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_: use the lspci output directly. It will speed things up | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Saad_ but yeah that's a pretty good search string | 20:07 |
| mab1376 | ok then, let me try | 20:07 |
| yeahyeah | guest78526: but if i plug in my external hdd, then the installer can find that, but not my internal main drive | 20:07 |
| Trinidad | good afternoon everyone | 20:08 |
| Apache_33 | good evening <Trinidad> | 20:08 |
| mab1376 | which key do i give to the client the id_dsa.pub or the id_dsa | 20:08 |
| Guest78526 | what does fdisk show yeahyeah? | 20:09 |
| ikonia | mab1376: you keep the private key on the client, and the public key is put in /home/$user/.ssh/authorized_keys file | 20:09 |
| Trinidad | i need help getting my modem to work in ubuntu what i have installed is gnome ppp | 20:09 |
| ikonia | mab1376: private on client, public on server | 20:09 |
| Buttery | Can anyone help me? I just recently updated all the things the update-manager told me I should update, and now when I start my computer I get Grub, but it says 'GNU Grub Version 1.97~beta4', and when I choose 'Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic', it attempts to start but just shows 'fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16' '/dev/sda1: clean, 241442/9584640 files, 14009560/38329074 blocks' | 20:09 |
| Flannel | mikelifeguard: Aptitude might be able to show you something similar in the UI. Or you could search through all of your packages with apt-cache policy and grep out the ones that aren't available on a server | 20:09 |
| ikonia | !info linux-image | 20:09 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, What Blueman is offering is the reverse of what I want.. It's considering my phone as the network access point.. Whereas I want to use my laptop as the NAP | 20:09 |
| mab1376 | so rename the .pub file to authorized_keys? | 20:09 |
| ubottu | linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.31.20.33 (karmic), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia all) | 20:10 |
| ikonia | mab1376: no - you put it in that file | 20:10 |
| Trinidad | my modem is a moterola | 20:10 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: when I right click on the BT icon and click local services, I get options to setup NAP and a DHCP server and enable NAT. Are you not seeing that? | 20:11 |
| Apache_33 | <Buttery> i think that there maybe many reasons i had problem with updates and upgrades too after there was high cpu usage guess something to do with xorg and ati card so i reinstalled everything and i dont upgrade or update anymore | 20:11 |
| yeahyeah | Guest78526: Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device | 20:11 |
| yeahyeah | E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk) | 20:11 |
| yeahyeah | or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk) | 20:11 |
| yeahyeah | or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive) | 20:11 |
| yeahyeah | or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices) | 20:11 |
| FloodBot4 | yeahyeah: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:11 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, yes, i saw that, but then, how do you get the phone to connect | 20:11 |
| ZykoticK9 | !paste > yeahyeah | 20:12 |
| ubottu | yeahyeah, please see my private message | 20:12 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: now for that I dont have a clue, only use sonyericssons here. But for a shot in the dark there should be a networking section on the phone and if it is capable then connecting to a PAN should be there. BTW are you trying to browse the net on the phone through the pc? | 20:13 |
| Buttery | Apache - so I'd have to reinstall Ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| ai9371_ | how do i change the permissions to read write everyone | 20:13 |
| ai9371_ | for a folder | 20:13 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, yes, I'm trying to do browse the net on the phone through the pc | 20:13 |
| Buttery | Also, I think it may have something to do with 'modem-manager', because when I click ctrl+alt+delete after it says that, it says something about modem-manager and then reboots | 20:13 |
| Buttery | Is there any way I can remove 'modem-manager' from the grub command line? | 20:14 |
| IdleOne | How do I change permission of folder and all it's contents from root to my user? | 20:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | ai9371_, "chmod a+rwx FOLDERNAME" | 20:14 |
| Guest78526 | dont do that idleone, some files must be owned by root | 20:14 |
| IdleOne | Guest78526: these are media files | 20:15 |
| thewhistler | where is the linux chat room ? | 20:15 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: I would pop onto a nokia forum and see if there is a walkthrough on connecting it to a pan | 20:15 |
| IdleOne | thewhistler: ##linux | 20:15 |
| Guest78526 | ok. then the command is chown -R user:group directory | 20:15 |
| Apache_33 | <Buttery> thats what i did dont know what problem u got dont know your graphic card etc ask others maybe u will get it working maybe not:) thats the fun about ubuntu:) my experience i downloaded 700mb ubuntu live cd installed it downloaded anotehr gigs of data drivers upgrades and like that few times :) today i dont do anything anymore just fresh ubuntu 9.10 install and everythign is working perfect so what for i need | 20:15 |
| Apache_33 | kernel 2.6.31.20 if my 2.6.31.14 working fine | 20:15 |
| IdleOne | Guest78526: thank you | 20:15 |
| yeahyeah | Guest78526: http://paste.ubuntu.com/395277/ sorry for repost, but there is the paste :) | 20:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, "chown -R user:user folder" | 20:16 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, I'm facing another problem, with dhcp3-server.. maybe that's why it's not connecting | 20:16 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: so chown -R root:idleone /path/to/folder ? | 20:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Zykotick9: could use $USER ;) | 20:16 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, dhcp3-server fails to start | 20:16 |
| === cp is now known as Guest39376 | ||

| theadmin | Woah. Expirementing around caused my system to die. What was the name of that package which shows as "Movie Player" in Sound & Video menu? | 20:17 |
| Dougdoug4 | Hello. Cheese seem to glitch itself whenever I start the program. It begins taking 1-3 photos, then stops for like 0.9 seconds, and then epic spams me taking nearly 100 photos and making the entire screen white. | 20:17 |
| Dougdoug4 | My Webcam works fine with other programs such as Skype, and if I press spacebar (the Cheese hotkey to take a photo) enough times, the picture taking spam stops, and Cheese runs normally. | 20:17 |
| Guest78526 | specify the colon and group if u wanna change the group too | 20:17 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, so "sudo chown -R idleone:idleone /path/to/folder" | 20:17 |
| IdleOne | ok thank you ZykoticK9 and Guest78526 | 20:18 |
| SchneeSchwarz | theadmin: totem | 20:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Idleone: use the username for both, makes so nobody else can access | 20:18 |
| theadmin | SchneeSchwarz: Thanks. It totally is no good lol gotta remove it as soon as everything finishes upgrading. | 20:18 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: this folder also needs to be shared to Windows | 20:18 |
| theadmin | IdleOne: Windows ignores Linux permissions ;) | 20:18 |
| IdleOne | so I need guest access to the folder also | 20:18 |
| mawst | hmm | 20:18 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, "Vive le Québec libre" ;) | 20:18 |
| mawst | No menu item for the archive manager | 20:18 |
| mawst | ? | 20:18 |
| mawst | or am I blind | 20:19 |
| theadmin | IdleOne: Or do you mean Windows on another machine? | 20:19 |
| Guest78526 | the file permissions for windows are in your samba.conf file | 20:19 |
| mattish | whats the advantage of pulseaudio ? should i be using it ? | 20:19 |
| git__ | anyone have problem with notify-send timeout? | 20:19 |
| theadmin | mawst: You can create one. | 20:19 |
| IdleOne | theadmin: windows on another machine | 20:19 |
| mawst | theadmin: any idea what the binary is called? | 20:19 |
| Apache_33 | "Vive le Québec libre" <ZykoticK9> no no no | 20:19 |
| git__ | notify-send 0.4.5 isn't timing out as I specify | 20:19 |
| theadmin | mawst: file-roller | 20:19 |
| mawst | Thanks | 20:19 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: hmm yeah but how did you know I am in QC? | 20:19 |
| Guest78526 | i use pulseaudio for network sound mattish | 20:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, launchpad stalking | 20:19 |
| mattish | ah ok bit like arts ? | 20:19 |
| IdleOne | hahaha | 20:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Idleone: that's fine, it will be accessible as samba will permit guest access if you wish or you can use authentication using smbpasswd and then make a group with the user and other users you want to give access to | 20:19 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: ok thank you | 20:20 |
| Guest78526 | i have two systems and one set of speakers so i use pulseaudio to redirect the sound | 20:20 |
| mab1376 | when i try and connect from my windows pc using putty i get "unable to use key file". | 20:20 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: hmm that is odd, Im gonna fire up an old SE I have here and see if I can get it working. | 20:20 |
| theadmin | Say, are there any advantages in GRUB2 at all? Same question about gdm2 | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Idleone: you can specify folder access in smb.conf or maybe the gui think in nautilus (not used that personally I always use smb.conf) | 20:21 |
| Guest78526 | i still use my pentium 3 as a file server | 20:21 |
| theadmin | They seem to be a huge downfall, both of them | 20:21 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, I also have an SE W300i, can't use that either.. :-/ | 20:21 |
| Slart | I can't unmount a filesystem on my ubuntu system.. sudo umount /dev/sdd2 just gives me "umount bla bla bla, device is busy". "fuser -m /dev/sdd2" gives me nothing, "lsof | grep -i /media/disk1" also gives me nothing.. any other ways I can figure out what is keeping my volume busy? | 20:21 |
| Boondoklife | Prabz: Im gonna be trying with a k550i, ill get back to ya in a bit when I know whats up. | 20:21 |
| IdleOne | ActionParsnip: ok I chown -R the folder but when I go to nautilus and check permissions it still has root as owner | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Grub2: it has some nice scripting abilities and logic which can be used. Personally I find it a bit ott | 20:21 |
| wizzo50 | How do you open a tar.bz.2 file? | 20:21 |
| IdleOne | I assume I need to use sudo chown -R?? | 20:22 |
| Prabz | Boondoklife, Thanks, hope to hear from u soon | 20:22 |
| theadmin | wizzo50: It's an archive. Double-click it, it should open in the Archive Manager | 20:22 |
| wizzo50 | How do you open a tar.bz2 file? | 20:22 |

| MutantTurkey | Hai guyz i just installed ubuntu lunix on my laptop last week and now for some rezon when i hit the on button and now noting happens. is that because i used the update thing to install the new firefox? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Mutantturkey: ok what happens whrn you try to boot | 20:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | mattish, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" find out the model name then search google for info on the cpu | 20:31 |
| MutantTurkey | ActionParsnip: it comes up saying ubuntu wahtever with the bar | 20:31 |
| MutantTurkey | and gets stuck randomly | 20:31 |
| Wunderkind | :D | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Wolter: ok try websearching: printer make printer model ubuntu | 20:31 |
| Wunderkind | <3 ubuntu | 20:31 |
| MutantTurkey | i come back like twenty minute and then it says error kernel panic | 20:31 |
| mattish | model name is just pentium d 3ghz :| i think they did both | 20:31 |
| marcus__ | MutantTurkey: sounds like a harddrive problem. Tried booting on the live CD? | 20:31 |
| Wunderkind | <3 linux | 20:31 |
| MutantTurkey | i think it is because i updated firefox | 20:31 |
| jrib | marcus__: install libnotify-bin | 20:32 |
| Jon- | Slart: Yep, that's the issue. | 20:32 |
| marcus__ | jrib: But how would I use that in bash? (gnome-terminal) | 20:32 |
| thad | sup | 20:32 |
| mattish | or is the d for dual ? | 20:32 |
| jrib | marcus__: it installs one command, notify-send | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Mutantturkey: ok use boot options to get a text boot and watch the system. You will see where it gets stuck (stupid boot splash rubbish always gets in the way) | 20:32 |
| thad | is anyone running awesome? | 20:32 |
| jrib | thad: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 20:32 |
| MutantTurkey | okay how do i do i do boot options | 20:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Thad: its not supported here | 20:32 |

| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 20:44 |

| Slart | !clone | conb123 | 20:44 |
| kn100 | MutantTurkey, best avoided | 20:44 |
| ubottu | conb123: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 20:44 |

| gugu | What would be more appropriate? | 21:05 |
| dsnyders | guntbert, Thanks, I thought so. | 21:05 |
| Slart | gugu: unless you've got millions of them.. try a spreadsheet | 21:05 |
| gugu | Slart, so you are saying it is a matter of number of data? | 21:06 |
| abstrakt | e.g. can you have ffmpeg read from a live video camera instead of a file? i mean i've done some C system programming so I understand that everything is a file on *nix | 21:06 |
| abstrakt | i'm just wondering if there'll be issues with say, a video camera writing a file to disk while ffmpeg is trying to read the same file | 21:06 |
| Slart | gugu: I'm saying it's a matter of ease-of-use.. a spreadsheet is pretty simple to setup.. a database is a bit more complicated | 21:06 |
| abstrakt | and ditto for e.g. output.flv being written to the disk while, e.g. apache is trying to repeatedly access/stream it | 21:06 |
| abstrakt | or maybe we'll pretend it's .ogg instead | 21:07 |
| abstrakt | i dunno, i just know that flash already has a streaming encoder | 21:07 |
| Cl0p1n | abstrakt: You could try to ask in #ffmpeg | 21:07 |
| abstrakt | heh, ok | 21:07 |
| jaypaulb | I have the dongle showing under hcitools and it provides me the mac address but when i try to turn it on under the applet it does not work | 21:07 |
| Slart | gugu: but if we for the moment ignore the fact that a database is a pretty abstract term.. it can mean so many things.. I would say that yes.. a proper database can handle more data than a spreadsheet | 21:07 |

| ddrj | got a question, i just installed ubuntu and i haven't really done anything else except for installing x-chat, should i do sudo apt-get update in terminal now ? | 21:11 |
| acicula | evon: ubuntu can do those things, desktop sharing is installed by default(but not enabled obviously) | 21:12 |
| Slart | ddrj: you can do that.. or run the update-manager (in system, administration) | 21:12 |
| Younder | ddrj: what for? | 21:12 |
| Younder | ddrj: the installed packages will auto-update | 21:12 |
| acicula | Slart: sync and force the unmount? you get a busy if either the drive(r)s have gone bonkers or if you have open file handles? | 21:13 |
| ddrj | ahhh ok | 21:13 |
| olskolirc | how do I tell dpkg to overwrite current settings | 21:13 |
| Slart | acicula: but open file handles should be listed by lsof, right? | 21:13 |
| dsnyders | ddrj, Sounds like a good next step. However, double check your list of repositories so that you can fetch all the updates. | 21:13 |
| acicula | ddrj: you can do apt-get update && aptitude safe-upgrade to force updating, but ubuntu checks every now and then for updates(set in software sources) | 21:13 |
| olskolirc | every time I uninstall wine-doors - i keep getting the same config even when I purge | 21:13 |
| evon | acicula. I know you can do those things in the regular distro but I want a distro that does just that and nothing else. (ie no games, word processing, file management, etc.) | 21:13 |
| ddrj | alright thanks | 21:13 |
| Dougdoug4 | I can't take much more of this | 21:14 |
| acicula | Slart: as far as i know yes | 21:14 |
| olskolirc | is this a problem .rc file somewhere | 21:14 |
| Dougdoug4 | god | 21:14 |
| guntbert | Younder: thats misinformation - apt-get update refreshes the database | 21:14 |
| Dougdoug4 | all this spam in #ubuntu how does anyone manage to get help.. | 21:14 |

| histo | Dougdoug4: restart your browser after installing the plugin. If not try reinstalling the flash plugin. Seemed to help me before in karmic. | 21:17 |
| acicula | tempolo: here, forums, launchpad | 21:17 |
| Dougdoug4 | Always another problem with ubuntu | 21:17 |

| histo | ultraparadigm: internet explorer and moonlightj | 21:19 |
| ultraparadigm | histo, I think it requires that moonlight, yeah | 21:19 |
| histo | ultraparadigm: there is no easy way to do it in linux. | 21:19 |

| Desciero | Let's say I want to move a game file, like a user made map, to an installed game. When I drag it to the destination folder for the game, it says I don't have the administrative control to do that. How do I allow my user to move files? | 21:19 |
| histo | ultraparadigm: the only way is to get a virtualmachine running windows and watch with that. | 21:20 |
| tempolo | OK, I'll just summarize the improvment request first: I've built a 32 bit Gtk app. When I tried to launch it double clicking it from the "Explorer", it would not give me any error msg. When I launched it from Terminal, all I got was "No such file or directory". I think this needs better error msgs | 21:20 |

| Dougdoug4 | I have adobe installed | 21:20 |

| ZykoticK9 | Jonimus, you'd need to add a PPA with the newer kernel - sorry don't know which one, never had to try upgrading a kernel like this personally | 21:37 |

| Jonimus | ZykoticK9: ok I'll see if I can find a PPA which has it | 21:38 |
| Slart | jessy90: yes.. those look like screensavers.. | 21:38 |
| histo | Desciero: its probably hidden in your home. | 21:38 |
| ChogyDan | Jonimus: you could install the image directly, and not install the repo. I happen to have a lucid kernel ppa that I also happen to be running on karmic | 21:38 |
| Losha | Jonimus: I meant a ubuntu beginner, no slur on your abilities. It would be a completely unsupported configuration, and unlikely to work well... | 21:38 |

| Losha | epaphus: note that my link and te_'s link eventually point to the same place... | 21:49 |

| ZykoticK9 | dmdevotee, /mnt | 22:01 |
| dmdevotee | every directory gives me an error | 22:01 |
| Losha | Jonimus: boot a recovery cd and edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit out all instances of the 'quiet' keyword. Keep a backup in case you mess it up... | 22:01 |
| Emanon | yea just make it a .sh and run it techzg it works just fine | 22:02 |
| Jonimus | Losha: thats what I'm trying now | 22:02 |
| techzg | k | 22:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine`, are you using Lucid? | 22:02 |
| Emanon | or if you like i can send you the sh directly, i just posted it in pastebin so others could see i wasnt sending you something malicious | 22:02 |

| razz1 | I need to connect to a ubuntu pc remotely safely, what is the easiest option, the person on the other side has not much knowledge of linux. Is there something similar as logmein for ununtu? Most of the options I looked at require port forwarding. That's not really helpful. Any help appreceated. | 22:02 |
| AndChat- | Razz1 ssh | 22:03 |
| dmdevotee | ZykoticK9: /nmt gives me an error: "an error ocurred: not found" | 22:03 |

| ZykoticK9 | sine`, i just asked in +1 and yes that bug is in karmic as well, it's a launchpad thing | 22:04 |
| Emanon | and on a side note when new versions of flashplayer for 64 bit linux come out feel free to modify the versions to keep that script current techzg | 22:04 |

| kcg | AndChat-: i didn't want full screen though, basically i just want it to run at the back | 22:05 |
| sine` | ZykoticK9: what do you mean launch pad thing. im just curious why its effecting me and no one else. what am i doing different lol | 22:05 |
| dmdevotee | mmmm, no way... /mnt seems to not be a valid mount directory for gmount | 22:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine`, are you trying to report a bug? | 22:05 |
| keepguessing | can anyone suggest me their fav ones?? i could not get soemthing that I like | 22:05 |
| lokpest | Ubuntu feels more and more like that Groucho Marx qoute: "These are my principles, and if you don't like them I have others." | 22:05 |
| xTheGoat121x | Anyone in here use Pidgin? | 22:05 |

| VCoolio | 2nd try; I have an external hd; I can set stuff on it to be shared, but in reality it can't be accessed by guests via the network; the /media entry for it has chmod 700 permissions while that should be 755 I think; I can't change that with chmod; ideas? | 22:05 |
| VCoolio | xTheGoat121x: probably yes; what's your issue? | 22:06 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, the problem the drive I am going to use to restore is smaller than the current hd drive but big enough to put the files on it. | 22:06 |
| keepguessing | Any help :) | 22:06 |
| kcg | AndChat-: sth like sticking at the background, while im doing other stuff | 22:06 |
| sine` | I am trying to install ubuntu 9.10 kk. Im in the install ubuntu part on the desktop with the icon on there saying install ubuntu, yet when i run it the ubiquity crashes with a red icon and i cant install ubuntu | 22:06 |
| Losha | lokpest: wasn't it you who said that ubuntu has 'jumped the shark'. It's off-topic, but I think I agree... | 22:06 |
| AndChat- | Vcoolio sudo chmod | 22:06 |
| xTheGoat121x | VCoolio, are you running version 2.6.6? | 22:06 |
| arvind_khadri | !cloning > ginbuntu | 22:06 |
| VCoolio | AndChat-: doesn't work; no errors | 22:06 |
| MobiusJedi | how does an OS jump the shark? | 22:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine`, ya that's the bug reporter - you should go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/538097 and click the "affects me too" type link | 22:06 |
| sine` | ZykoticK9: also when i just click on the report bug section it also crashes | 22:06 |
| acicula | MobiusJedi: with separate threads | 22:06 |
| sine` | lol | 22:06 |
| AndChat- | Vcoolio ntfs? | 22:07 |
| arvind_khadri | ginbuntu, as long as you can hold all the files, it doesnt matter i guess | 22:07 |
| sine` | so i cant install ubuntu ? | 22:07 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, I can't use clone. I have packages installed that are not in the repo | 22:07 |
| VCoolio | AndChat-: yeppers | 22:07 |
| linuxlurker | ddrj, / is the highest point in the directory tree | 22:07 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: it becomes too unstable for general use. I left fedora for ubuntu years ago for this very reason... | 22:07 |
| ddrj | linuxlurker, ahhhh | 22:07 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, making an image of a partition also contains the empty spaces right? | 22:07 |
| AndChat- | Google ntfs-3g umask | 22:07 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine`, this is "somewhat" unrelated to any installation problems - this is a bug in the bug-adder program | 22:07 |
| VCoolio | xTheGoat121x: no, 6.2.4 | 22:07 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: ah. . . like how my soundcard is unsupported in karmic | 22:07 |
| arvind_khadri | ginbuntu, yeah | 22:07 |
| dmdevotee | anybody knows a valid mount-point directory to mount a iso file with gmount? ( gmount does not like /mnt directory) | 22:08 |
| xTheGoat121x | VCoolio, they haven't even gotten that far in Pidgin yet | 22:08 |
| VCoolio | AndChat-: ok, but what issue are we talking about? permission? | 22:08 |
| sine` | ZykoticK9: so my installation problem is another problem entirely | 22:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | dmdevotee, create a directory in your home directory like "isomount" | 22:08 |
| Typos_King | dmdevotee: ... /media maybe | 22:08 |
| linuxlurker | dmdevotee, /media/somedirectory ? | 22:08 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: yes, and the upstart stuff, and the new gdm, and grub2, etc. I'm thinking of moving to debian... | 22:08 |
| shakir | how to install kde on ubuntu 9.10 | 22:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | sine`, yes | 22:08 |
| VCoolio | xTheGoat121x: sorry, typo, 2.6.4 | 22:08 |
| AndChat- | Yes. You want to change the permissions right? | 22:08 |
| Emanon | oh and btw i found filebin so here is the script i posted in pastebin earlier http://filebin.ca/ajmqbq/native-64bit-flash-installer.sh | 22:08 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, it takes too much time to reinstall and configured it tot he state it is right now :-( | 22:09 |
| xTheGoat121x | VCoolio, ah, okay. The reason I ask is that I've noticed that PIdgin isn't closing to the indicator-applet anymore. If I close my buddy list, I'm completely disconnected | 22:09 |
| VCoolio | AndChat-: no, I want to share stuff on it, but maybe I'm prohibited for permissions reasons I thought | 22:09 |
| ginbuntu | cloning and disk imaging do not work in my situation | 22:09 |

| ZykoticK9 | !ask > DrDank | 22:09 |
| VCoolio | xTheGoat121x: isn't there some setting in prefs to close to the tray? | 22:09 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: it's a shame, I was just getting to love ubuntu before i lost sound. . . | 22:09 |
| goddard | is there a good program for linux to turn an avi into a dvd? | 22:10 |
| DrDank | I clicked 'Advanced' in the appearence preferences.. Now the dialog box is 'locked' I need to get it closed some how.. I heard something about rkill or kill in the terminal.. how do i reference it to this dialog box? | 22:10 |
| ZykoticK9 | goddard, check out devede | 22:10 |
| goddard | thanks | 22:10 |
| arvind_khadri | ginbuntu, i understand, expand your drives | 22:10 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: I stick to 8.04 LTS myself... | 22:10 |
| xTheGoat121x | VCoolio, to Pidgin's own icon, yes, but not to the indicator-applet | 22:10 |
| Typos_King | shakir: I'd think you'd need to install kde4 or so | 22:10 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, what do you mean? | 22:10 |
| shakir | why ? | 22:10 |
| arvind_khadri | ginbuntu, is space your problem? | 22:10 |
| AndChat- | Drdank xkill | 22:10 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: LTS? what's that mean? | 22:10 |
| kcg | AndChat-: any idea? | 22:11 |
| datadigger | MobiusJedi: Long Term Support | 22:11 |
| Emanon | MobiusJedi: Long Term Support | 22:11 |
| MobiusJedi | oh snap | 22:11 |
| VCoolio | xTheGoat121x: ah, I see; don't know about that; karmic uses empathy by default, right? might have something to do with that; I'd look into the applet and not first in pidgin; but I use neither one of them | 22:11 |
| Emanon | ahh beat me to it | 22:11 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: Long term support: all bugfixes, no new features. The idea is it gets very stable the longer it's maintained... | 22:11 |
| MobiusJedi | lol | 22:11 |
| dmdevotee | /home/dmdevotee/prueba is created, but is not valid for gmount | 22:11 |
| MobiusJedi | that does make some sense | 22:11 |
| Emanon | and until it works as well as pidgin at least why use empathy hehe | 22:11 |
| * datadigger runs hardy 8.04 LTS | 22:12 | |
| Losha | goddard: I like tovid for making dvds, but it's cli... | 22:12 |
| DrDank | AndChat, I just type xkill in the terminal and it will auto close the Appereance Preferences and nothing else? | 22:12 |
| DrDank | oh | 22:12 |
| DrDank | thats badass.. | 22:12 |
| ginbuntu | arvind_khadri, no, I don't have space problem. currently I have 2x1TB sata drives. one I am using, but when I extract big files (4gb+) my system kinf of freezes, because a lot of disc access read/write on the same partition ubuntu is installed. but if I move my downloads to the second drive, I would be using a 1TB drive as system disc which is a big waste. I have a 120 sata drive laying around here and I am thinking to use it | 22:12 |
| ginbuntu | as system disc and then use the 2x1TB as storage. | 22:12 |
| xTheGoat121x | VCoolio, well, I refuse to use Empathy -- it's not robust enough for me. I haven't had a problem with Pidgin, even after the change to Empathy as default. | 22:13 |
| DrDank | I like that.. *takes note of xkill* | 22:13 |
| bruno123 | hi all, running 9.04 and just today when I click on Places-->Computer I get a quick window flash and then I am back to the Desktop but with no icons. This also happens if I go Places ---> Network......any ideas? Has there been a recent update that could have caused this? Any help is greatly appreciated | 22:13 |
| DrDank | oh wait. | 22:13 |
| DrDank | it still didnt go away | 22:13 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: if you can give up the latest apps, you get stability in exchange. For me, stability trumps new features. Not everyone feels that way though... | 22:13 |
| razz1 | what is the easiest option to remotely login to a ubuntu system? | 22:13 |
| arvind_khadri | ginbuntu, cool | 22:13 |
| acicula | bruno123: well nautilus appears to be crashing, dunno why though | 22:13 |
| VCoolio | DrDank: xkill changes your mouse cursor into a hitman, click the window to kill | 22:14 |
| acicula | razz1: ssh | 22:14 |
| Losha | razz1: ssh and/or vnc... | 22:14 |
| acicula | razz1: or remote desktop sharing | 22:14 |
| DrDank | VCoolio: I did.. but the damn window just came back.. The Appearance Preferences. | 22:14 |
| g0sp | hey I can see my iPhone in the Ryhthymbox cause I did all of that stuff, but can I add files to it? It's jailbroken, if that helps. 3.1.3 firmware | 22:14 |
| DrDank | I clicked 'Advanced' in the appearence preferences.. Now the dialog box is 'locked' I need to get it closed some how.. I heard something about rkill or kill in the terminal.. how do i reference it to this dialog box? | 22:14 |
| dmdevotee | /home/dmdevotee/prueba is created, but is not valid for gmount | 22:14 |
| DrDank | besides the rkill and kill subjects* sorry I just pressed up instead of retyping. | 22:14 |
| VCoolio | DrDank: pkill gnome-appearance-properties ? | 22:14 |
| dmdevotee | media/prueba is created | 22:14 |
| dmdevotee | media/prueba is created, and is still a not valid directory | 22:14 |
| Emanon | DrDank: alt+f2 type gnome-system monitor when the monitor pops up click in it and type appear and it will highlight the process for the appearence window then alt+p then alt+e | 22:15 |
| bruno123 | acicula when I run sudo nautilus I get this : WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Operation not supported | 22:15 |
| MobiusJedi | How's 8.10 in comparison to 8.04 LTS? | 22:15 |
| acicula | bruno123: dont run nautilus as root | 22:15 |
| onaogh | I am reinstalling ubuntu, how can i backup nm-applet configs ? | 22:15 |
| DrDank | VCoolio: , that didnt work neither.. | 22:15 |
| ddrj | how do i get absolute paths when in terminal? | 22:15 |
| DrDank | I think im going to have to reboot.. | 22:15 |
| Spasysheep | when I lock my PC, if it's the first time I've locked it that session when I unlock it, the first time I try it sits there 'checking' for about 3 mins, then says I mistyped, even if I didn't, but as long as I don't log off or restart, any time after that that I lock it it works fine. Wuts going on? | 22:15 |
| DrDank | nothing seems to be working. lol | 22:15 |
| VCoolio | DrDank: kill -9 $(pidof gnome-appearance-properties) | 22:15 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: 8.10 is not as stable as 8.04, because only 8.04 is LTS :-) | 22:15 |
| acicula | bruno123: it may changes files to be owned by root that shouldnt be etc | 22:15 |
| Typos_King | ... dmdevotee: how about just using .. well...I don't have gmount here... but console wise will be -> sudo mount -v -t iso9660 -o loop YOURISOFILE.iso /mnt | 22:16 |
| Emanon | but if you have to run nautilus as root try gksu nautilus /path/to/file | 22:16 |
| acicula | onaogh: they are stored in your home directory | 22:16 |
| VCoolio | DrDank: logout - login when needed; reboot only necessary with kernel update or really bad crash | 22:16 |
| onaogh | acicula, where exactly ? | 22:16 |
| razz1 | acicula, losha: I know ssh and vnc but the owner of the ubuntu system hardly understands how to set up the server for me to log in to his system, it requires port forwarding, he is finding it hard. anything easier. | 22:16 |
| acicula | onaogh: in one of the hidden directories starting with a ., dunno which one specifically | 22:16 |
| acicula | a . (dot) | 22:17 |
| bruno123 | acicula I get these errors: ** (nautilus:4330): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported AND ALSO (nautilus:4330): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_file_info_get_name: assertion `G_IS_FILE_INFO (info)' failed | 22:17 |
| bruno123 | AND ALSO ** (nautilus:4330): WARNING **: Got GFileInfo with NULL name in network:///, ignoring. This shouldn't happen unless the gvfs backend is broken. | 22:17 |
| onaogh | acicula, already did my search, found nothing | 22:17 |
| acicula | razz1: he either setsup portforwarding or you have him set up a ssh tunnel to your comp to get around the port forwarding | 22:17 |
| acicula | razz1: which just takes a well copied command into a shell on his part | 22:17 |
| Emanon | onaogh: you remember to allow it to search hidden files? | 22:17 |
| bruno123 | acicula, this was when I was just running "nautilus" without sudo | 22:18 |
| Losha | razz1: what acicula said... | 22:18 |
| === soreau_ is now known as soreau | ||
| acicula | bruno123: maybe, but running nautilus as root is a quick way to a hosed system | 22:18 |
| acicula | bruno123: root is really dangerous | 22:18 |
| Emanon | we're getting dangerously close to locking the root user like mandriva tho | 22:18 |
| onaogh | Emanon, i searched with bash $ sudo find ~/ -iname *nm-applet* | 22:18 |
| Emanon | ahh ok onaogh | 22:18 |
| Losha | Emanon: what does mandriva do to the root user? | 22:19 |
| Emanon | it is GOOD to warn people root use is perilous but if it is needed (which it occasionally is) it is needed | 22:19 |
| MobiusJedi | huh. . . I think I just figured out why my system won't boot. . . | 22:19 |
| MobiusJedi | I made a second admin account, but it didn't get made | 22:19 |
| MobiusJedi | is there a file i can edit with the user account info? | 22:19 |
| acicula | Emanon: running nautilus as root is never needed | 22:19 |
| razz1 | acicula: "you have him set up a ssh tunnel to your comp to get around the port forwarding", this sounds easier. you know of any easy to follow instructions | 22:19 |
| EBC99 | Hello | 22:20 |
| epaphus | Hello.. can vmware esx be installed in ubuntu?? | 22:20 |
| acicula | razz1: google ;) | 22:20 |
| Emanon | Losha: mandriva (for kde anyways) makes it so you cant log into root graphically and then moves the kdmrc to keep you from manually changing that setting | 22:20 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: /etc/passwd should have a line for each user in it. Make a backup before you edit... | 22:20 |
| bruno123 | acicula, well I haven't done that much....just once or twice....and only this time because u mentioned nautilus crashing....but anwyay....just running nautilus gets errors...any ideas on those? | 22:20 |
| ikonia | epaphus: esx is it's own operating system as a host platform, it doesn't install within an OS | 22:20 |
| Jonimus | acicula: yes but running it as root won't kill you either | 22:20 |

| MobiusJedi | i don't think i have nautilus | 22:26 |
| DrDank | Uhm, I read that to configure Compiz, I need to press ALT + F2 and enter ccsm in the entry box, this isnt working for me.. anyone have any suggestions? | 22:26 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: ok, open a terminal, type 'df -h'. Can you paste the result to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com ? | 22:26 |
| Emanon | just checked yes you can Deihmos | 22:26 |
| acicula | bruno123: lets stick to one problem | 22:26 |
| bruno123 | acicula any thoughts? | 22:26 |
| acicula | bruno123: does it crash when you click on networks? | 22:27 |
| acicula | bruno123: can your try sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-0=2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 | 22:27 |
| Emanon | DrDank: do you have compizconfig settings manager installed? | 22:27 |
| acicula | and logout/back in | 22:27 |
| Emanon | its not installed with compiz by default | 22:27 |
| mneptok | DrDank: you need to instal compizconfig-setings-manager, and then look for it in System > Prefs | 22:27 |
| bruno123 | acicula yesm i get a quick flash like it is opening a window...then it goes back to desktop but the icons disappear | 22:27 |
| DrDank | Emanon:, probably not. I think I just have Compiz installed (sorry Im new.. second day using linux.. maybe 3rd hour) | 22:27 |
| bruno123 | okay will do | 22:27 |
| Emanon | its ok DrDank thats what we're here for | 22:28 |
| mneptok | DrDank: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 22:28 |
| bruno123 | okay it wants to downgrade some packages acicula | 22:28 |
| acicula | bruno123: many packages? | 22:28 |
| Emanon | open a terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal then sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager like mneptok said | 22:28 |
| soreau | DrDank: ccsm>Preferences>Reset to Defaults | 22:28 |
| bruno123 | i will pastebin for you...hang on acicula | 22:29 |
| soreau | DrDank: There is also #compiz for compiz-specific questions | 22:29 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: it says command not found. . . | 22:29 |
| rafahell | someone want invite to LOCKERZ.COM ? | 22:29 |
| mneptok | rafahell: do not advertise on this channel | 22:29 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: er, you didn't type the single quotes did you? | 22:29 |
| g0sp | anyone got an iPhone working in ubuntu 9.10? I can mount the thing and see my music in ryhthymbox, but I'm not sure how to add songs to it. Can you do that? | 22:29 |
| DrDank | I just seen Compiz on a Customing Ubuntu Desktop, figured id give it a try | 22:29 |
| Emanon | perhaps they want it in #ubuntu-offtopic rafahell | 22:29 |
| acicula | bruno123: im just going by this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1272771 and various launchpad bugs related to the error messages you linked | 22:30 |
| Emanon | DrDank: i find it quite useful | 22:30 |
| MobiusJedi | lol, no. . . just df-h | 22:30 |
| Emanon | try the tab/group windows plugin | 22:30 |
| Emanon | it rocks a lot | 22:30 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: there is a space between the df and the -h. It matters. Try again: df -h | 22:30 |
| DrDank | mneptok: thanks for the terminal command for installing the compiz config.. much appricated. | 22:31 |
| DrDank | I just now learned I could type sudo -i, enter. then my password and not have to use 'sudo' anymore until terminal is closed. | 22:31 |
| xchat | hi | 22:31 |
| Emanon | be as careful with that as you would with regular root DrDank | 22:31 |

| bruno123 | acicula here are specifics http://pastebin.ca/1840385 (i will check your link...thanks for help btw_ | 22:31 |
| soreau | DrDank: Just remember, it is a bad idea to run user applications as root. Even compiz and ccsm should only be ran as user | 22:32 |
| Emanon | yea root can mess you up bad | 22:32 |
| DrDank | oh, alrighty | 22:32 |
| DrDank | :) | 22:32 |
| DrDank | Im a newbie.. all suggestions/advice will be remembered and noted. :) | 22:32 |
| xchat | sudo apt-get a beer . . . | 22:32 |
| Emanon | root, used improperly, is like meth it destroys EVERYTHING | 22:32 |
| DrDank | Im up for learning as much as possible, I absolutely hate windows. | 22:32 |
| Emanon | well windows does still have a few things on us but nothing i find occasion to use | 22:33 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: oh! . . . i could've figured that if i thought about it - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/KaxT0Z5z | 22:33 |
| soreau | DrDank: The only time you want to run as root is if you know why you need to. Such as installing/removing a package or some other real system change that requires root access | 22:33 |
| stygian | hey i have a question, i dont know if its an ubuntu issue but it is related. im doing x -query ubuntubox to log into my ubuntu box from my slackware box. and it works. but some of my keys are mismatched. the UP button seems to be printscreen, and some others as well dont work right. how do i fix this? | 22:33 |
| acicula | bruno123: are you using any ppa? | 22:33 |
| bruno123 | yes acicula | 22:33 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: first time's the hardest. ok, cd /media/disk/boot/grub | 22:34 |
| MobiusJedi | k | 22:34 |
| DrDank | damn.. I had my windows doing funny effects when I clicked and dragged them until I installed that compizconfig.. now its not doing the ffects. ( | 22:34 |
| Emanon | or if you really want to be a jerk DrDank and soreau use root on a shared machine | 22:34 |
| Emanon | DrDank: check wobbly windows to re-enable that | 22:34 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: I recall we were doing this to get a root shell, but you already have one right now from the live cd. So what was it you wanted to do next? | 22:34 |
| acicula | bruno123: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1394101 here the problem seems discussed also | 22:34 |
| DrDank | Emanon: its already checked. | 22:35 |
| acicula | bruno123: having ppa's doesnt help matters much, not sure how downgrading will affect your system there | 22:35 |
| Emanon | uncheck then recheck it might be wigging out | 22:35 |
| DrDank | lol, alright | 22:35 |
| Emanon | and yes "wigging out" is a technical term | 22:35 |
| DrDank | nope.. still not working. | 22:35 |
| acicula | bruno123: there are some other suggestions in that last thread, and it seems to be fixed in karmic if thats any help | 22:35 |
| soreau | DrDank: What you want to do is install simple-ccsm and select the Custom option that will appear under Extra in the visual effects settings | 22:35 |
| Emanon | oh wait is compiz even on atm maybe resetting it in ccsm turned it off though i could be wrong | 22:36 |
| DrDank | I basically just wanted tis for the Wobbly Windows and the Fire on dialog exit I read about. | 22:36 |
| === xshadow is now known as ventura | ||
| === ventura is now known as xshadow | ||
| Emanon | the visual effects ARE nice DrDank but there are some cool practical features as well | 22:36 |
| acicula | bruno123: as an alternative http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8760008&postcount=22 this might work | 22:36 |
| Emanon | like advanced zoom tab/group windows | 22:37 |
| bruno123 | acicula im thinking of backing up the important stuff and doing a clean install of karmic....one question | 22:37 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: good question. . . if I am root, why don't i have write access to sda1? | 22:37 |
| MobiusJedi | oh, that's interesting. . . there's no passwd folder in etc | 22:37 |
| Obituary | hi | 22:37 |
| Emanon | !hi | Obituary | 22:37 |
| ubottu | Obituary: 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! | 22:37 |
| Obituary | anybody please know why my computer goes off everytime i use ubuntu 9.10?thanks | 22:38 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: /dev/sda1 is currently mounted on /media/disk. So the passwd file is currently in /media/disk/etc/passwd. Look there... | 22:38 |
| === nikolam_ is now known as nikolam | ||
| Obituary | gets too hot and the fan doesnt work | 22:38 |
| bruno123 | acicula if I have a separate home partition, and I do a clean install on the / partition.....my data should be left alone right (i.e. home folder) | 22:38 |
| Emanon | should be bruno123 | 22:38 |
| Losha | bruno123: correct, as long as you don't mess up. A backup of /home would insure against "accidents".... | 22:39 |
| acicula | bruno123: yup, just make sure during install you set your home to be mounted but not formatted | 22:39 |
| === Eddie is now known as Guest75459 | ||
| jimi_ | When I play audio cds, the time doesnt progress and nothing comes out of the speakers. | 22:39 |
| acicula | bruno123: backups are never bad, especially if you are also going to repartition some parts of the disk | 22:40 |
| bruno123 | if I had programs installed, say openshot video editor and virtualbox, will I have to reinstall those again once I have made clean install of / | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | bruno123: yes | 22:40 |
| erUSUL | !clone | bruno123 | 22:40 |
| Emanon | not if you have a separate /usr/ partition as well | 22:40 |
| ubottu | bruno123: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 22:40 |
| Emanon | oops forgot to address that last one to bruno123 | 22:40 |
| bruno123 | i have just the / and the /home partitions on this pc | 22:41 |
| VCoolio | i have an ntfs external hd; I can mount and use it, but not share stuff; I can solve that by setting umask=022 in fstab, but then I can't mount it as user anymore; there are hints I don't understand at http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged ; ideas? | 22:41 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: negative. . . seems to be the same folder. . . i was in file browser, so maybe i was never in dev/sda1 exactly? | 22:41 |
| Emanon | then no you wont retain anything outside of /home | 22:41 |
| bruno123 | I will do as acicula suggests and backup /home folder | 22:41 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: for this kind of work, a simple terminal is best... | 22:41 |
| Emanon | i use tilda for all my CLI needs it rocks | 22:42 |
| MobiusJedi | Losha: "not a directory" | 22:42 |
| MobiusJedi | oh the damage i did just trying to create a new user | 22:43 |
| MobiusJedi | yay 9.10! | 22:43 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: Er, you do realise /media/disk/etc/passwd is a *file*, and not a directory | 22:43 |
| MobiusJedi | :/ | 22:43 |
| MobiusJedi | oh haha, that would be the problem | 22:43 |
| MobiusJedi | excuse my lack of sleep | 22:44 |
| MrPiracy | i installed grub2, but when i run update-grub it shows a script updating menu.lst and a.. .... so i believe i have both versions installed, how can i get rid of grub 1 ? | 22:44 |
| felipe__ | anyone knows how to configure the sound, to record with the audacity program? | 22:44 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: sleep deprived is a bad state to be in when you're editing your filesystem as root, you know... | 22:44 |
| bruno123 | acicula I did install Mediatomb (for sharing files with ps3 using upnp.....could that have caused this prob) Just did that last night and today is first time this issue comes up | 22:44 |
| jiohdi | my screen keeps blanking after a few minutes of inactivity... but the screen saver and power option is off, so whats causing it? it comes right back on with a flick of the mouse or any key | 22:44 |
| MobiusJedi | You're very right. . . thanks anyway! gotta go | 22:44 |
| bruno123 | Maybe uninstall that program acicula and see??? | 22:45 |
| Losha | MobiusJedi: ok, best of luck... | 22:45 |
| acicula | bruno123: ireally dont know | 22:45 |
| dillinjah | does anyone know a good alternative to Hamachi for linux, I have googled it, but no one had any glowing recommendations | 22:45 |
| olskolirc | I'm on Intrepid and im trying to get the mediabuntu repository from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu everything worked out except forapport-hooks-medibuntu which is no where to be found and I can't install w32codecs any ideas? | 22:45 |
| dillinjah | I appreciate the help | 22:45 |
| acicula | dillinjah: openvpn? | 22:45 |
| bruno123 | acicula that makes sense that it might have screwed things up since it is a media server thing...and involves networking......and prior to installing it...this never happened? | 22:45 |
| dillinjah | acicula, I am kind of a newb--would that be easy for a windows user to access if I ran it from ubuntu | 22:46 |
| acicula | bruno123: idunno, the error sems to get a lot of hits | 22:46 |
| hmw | what is a nice benchmark program to compare different PCs with Ubuntu? It'd be great, if i contained a database of some reference computers. | 22:46 |
| acicula | dillinjah: dunno what you need to connect to hamamachi stuff, did you try a google on hacmachi and ubuntu | 22:46 |
| bruno123 | maybe I should do complete removal. I can;t find any recent smb update as that one fix you posted does not apply when I follow it and look for 4) choose the date you upgraded 5) find smbclient | 22:47 |
| bruno123 | 5) find smbclient | 22:47 |
| dk3 | dillinjah, http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/ | 22:47 |
| fbianconi | dillinjah, there is an Hamachi version for linux | 22:47 |
| tadello | siema | 22:47 |
| dillinjah | yeah, hamachi is very iffy for ubuntu, I had it working for awhile, but have been having problems. The other computers can see the hamachi machine, but cannot access the files | 22:47 |
| dillinjah | I definitely had hamachi set up for linux, just having problems... | 22:47 |
| dillinjah | lots of people have had problems running the hamachi server from linux...and now I am, hence my question about an alternative | 22:48 |
| dillinjah | though I like hamachi because it is (was) super simple to setup, both for me and anyone trying to connect to it | 22:49 |
| dk3 | dillinjah, if you have windows users try VPN serwer with L2TP | 22:49 |
| erpo | dillinjah: My favorite alternative to hamachi is IPv6. | 22:49 |
| dillinjah | ok, and then I would just point them to the server address through their browser? | 22:50 |
| dillinjah | unlike hamachi, where you can access the server from within a gui application | 22:50 |
| dillinjah | and it brings up the files hosted on samba | 22:50 |
| bruno123 | thanks for help guys | 22:51 |

| sergio | ola | 23:09 |
| bigtom21485 | when i load windows its fine so i know its alinux issue | 23:09 |
| sergio | alguien de chile | 23:10 |
| bigtom21485 | i have ubuntu 9.10 | 23:10 |
| ikonia | Leif: in that case contact the people who pacakged it up and log a bug | 23:10 |
| Superbest | Typos_King, the one under applications | 23:10 |
| ikonia | Leif: you're using a deb from outside the ubuntu repo's so you need to contact the makers for support | 23:10 |
| bigtom21485 | if anyone can help please help | 23:10 |
| Huba | http://fonline2238.net/forum/index.php?topic=2027.0 All open source developers are more than welcome, and of course gamers :P | 23:10 |
| Leif | ikonia: Okay, rats, thanks anyway, I will do that. :) | 23:10 |
| srv | I have an encrypted ex4 partition and haven't bothered to make a note of my hdd's passphrase; how do I get the passphrase? | 23:10 |
| ikonia | srv: you don't - it's gone | 23:11 |
| scorch__ | Does anyone know how to get jack to work properly? | 23:11 |
| Typos_King | Superbest: ..... so... is the app.. well heheh, I have Adept, but mostly install using apt-get :} | 23:11 |
| lantizia | Hey, can I make my own distro out of ubuntu? kind of like using nLite on Windows!? i.e. my own bootable usbpen/cd that installs what I want | 23:11 |
| red | srv: the whole idea of encrypting your hd would be that u cant access it without the passphrase | 23:11 |
| erUSUL | srv: if that was easy or even possible what would be the point of the encryption ? | 23:11 |
| red | there is no "click to send the pass to email" :) | 23:11 |
| NullEntity | I'm using 10.04 LTS, and I can't get Java applets to work. | 23:11 |
| Superbest | Typos_King, yeah, I'd do that but packages are confusing | 23:11 |

| Superbest | does anyone know why my software-center is being passive aggressive? | 23:14 |
| claptrap | So, any of you wonderful folks have an even semi efficient suggestion for going through 43,000 picture files? ;D | 23:14 |

| claptrap | Nautilus and Dolphin can't really handle the load, lol. | 23:15 |
| srv | ikonia: So, please will you kindly tell me the shell command which Ubuntu prompts you to enter in order to get the passphrase, after installation? | 23:15 |
| bigtom21485 | JohnathanWinters: LMAO | 23:15 |
| harisund | claptrap: What kind of processing are you doing? | 23:15 |
| Superbest | ikonia, clicking "install" for a package appears to do nothing, while synaptic works (and installs packages) fine | 23:15 |
| ikonia | srv: it's gone - you can't get it | 23:15 |
| srv | ikonia: pfffff | 23:16 |
| Superbest | ikonia, I have tried switching my package server and reinstalling software-center 1.0.3, I think | 23:16 |
| srv | ikonia: OK | 23:16 |
| Superbest | ikonia, I am also on ubuntu 9.10 | 23:16 |
| ikonia | Superbest: odd | 23:16 |
| lunks | What's the correct grub package on 9.10? grub or grub-pc? | 23:16 |
| claptrap | harisund: Well, I just recovered some files off a formatted partition. There are a lot I want to save, but i need to pick them out and get them organized. | 23:16 |
| Superbest | ikonia, though if you are familiar with how software-center works, I can just ask a few general things and probably just start using synaptic anyway | 23:17 |
| EzeQL | hi, I am a windows guy. I want to switch to ubuntu but most programs that i use daily are only available for windows. The linux alternatives are miles away from these. Could i install vmware/virtualbox for using windows xp? will this emulated windows xp work ok? | 23:17 |
| ikonia | Superbest: not massivly aware to be honest as I don't use it | 23:17 |
| harisund | claptrap: ah .. I guess you could move some into sub folders, organize within them and work your way up | 23:17 |
| lunks | EzeQL, most of the time, yes. | 23:17 |
| ikonia | EzeQL: that's a good option, also look at wine | 23:17 |
| ikonia | EzeQL: however keep in mind that if your needs are windows only programs, why move to linux ? | 23:17 |
| lunks | What's the correct grub package on 9.10? grub or grub-pc? | 23:18 |
| IdleOne | !grub2 | 23:18 |
| 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 | 23:18 |
| Superbest | ikonia, I'm just trying to figure out if it makes installing packages any simpler for me, clueless end user | 23:18 |
| EzeQL | ikonia, because i want to learn linux? | 23:18 |
| lunks | IdleOne, I'm having major issues with grub, dunno why | 23:18 |
| claptrap | harisund: Well, even on my fairly beastly desktop, Nautilus and Dolphin aren't handling the load of even opening the folder very well, much less scrolling. is there any, like, automatic way to split them into folders? | 23:18 |
| ikonia | Superbest: good for you, using what works for you is the best approach | 23:18 |
| lunks | EzeQL, why not try the other way? Linux on a VM? | 23:18 |
| claptrap | harisund: A terminal command or the suchlike. | 23:18 |
| IdleOne | lunks: then ask a question regarding your issue :) | 23:18 |
| harisund | claptrap: How are the files labelled? Is there any pattern to them? | 23:19 |
| ikonia | EzeQL: very nobel | 23:19 |
| EzeQL | lunks, i have a Ubutun instlalation running on Vmware, but performance sucks | 23:19 |
| EzeQL | and i have a just built system | 23:19 |
| Superbest | ikonia, only as I said, it does not. =( | 23:19 |
| claptrap | harisund: Only the random strings of numbers that foremost assigned them. | 23:19 |
| IdleOne | EzeQL: then windows in VM probably won't give you better performance and end up annoying you | 23:19 |
| IdleOne | EzeQL: but worth a try | 23:20 |
| u-foka | Doh, my bad... I have accidently created a new empty msdos patition table on my system disk with gparted :S any ideas how to restore it? | 23:20 |
| VCoolio | lunks: I have karmic with grub-pc, not grub | 23:20 |
| srv | how can it be gone when I'm logged in and am seeing my encrypted home directory's contents?!! | 23:20 |
| erUSUL | u-foka: use testdisk or gpart | 23:20 |
| === tremmons1 is now known as iflema | ||
| harisund | claptrap: Then the best solution is to probably write a bash script that takes bunches of, say 100 images, and puts them in a new sub folder created elsewhere | 23:20 |
| erpo | u-foka: If you haven't committed the changes yet you can undo. | 23:21 |
| u-foka | yeah | 23:21 |
| u-foka | I thinked that too | 23:21 |
| === islington_ is now known as islington | ||
| u-foka | but the partition table operation committed immediately | 23:21 |
| ddbt | does anyone know if the new ubuntu 'look' in 10.04 still gets its bugs fixed before the official release? | 23:21 |
| lunks | IdleOne, for some reason the new installed grub is not able to boot the installation, so I have to get to the wubi grub, change the boot commands to actually get into my system again | 23:21 |
| === solid_liq is now known as CodeGuru | ||
| sam555 | how do you figure out the video card info on the unbuntu 9.10? | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | !lucid | ddbt | 23:21 |
| ubottu | ddbt: 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 - Development Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | sam555: lshw -C display | 23:21 |
| Ardethian | Is there a good program under GNU that lets you download all ? | 23:21 |
| fbianconi | u-foka, testdisk | 23:21 |
| IdleOne | lunks look at that link ubottu gave earlier and reinstall grub2 | 23:22 |
| Superbest | so is anyone here familiar with software-center behavior or problems? | 23:22 |
| claptrap | harisund: Sounds perfect... any idea how I'd get started on that? Still fairly nub with Ubuntu. | 23:22 |
| Emanon | does lucid even HAVE a new look? i thought they were forgoeing that because of the need to up stability for an lts release? | 23:22 |
| MrPiracy_ | whenever i shutdown my pc, ubuntu prompts my password again with message "system polity prevents stopping the system when other users are logged in". how do i fix this? | 23:22 |
| lunks | IdleOne, doin it | 23:22 |
| sam555 | erUSUL: thanks! | 23:22 |
| IdleOne | sam555: lspci | 23:22 |
| harisund | claptrap: I have to leave now, but I could provide you some kind of info in a personal message or something later if you will be online on IRC etc | 23:22 |
| Ardethian | Is there a good program under GNU that lets you download all pictures hosted on a website? | 23:22 |
| u-foka | my setup looks like sda1: / ext4 ~15G; sda5 luks swap ~5G; sda6 luks ext4 ~300G... testdisk can found the encrypted partitions too? | 23:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | Emanon, oh it does - ubuntu+1 for Lucid discussion though | 23:23 |
| sam555 | IdleOne: I tried lscpci.... | 23:23 |
| erUSUL | Ardethian: wget ? | 23:23 |
| Emanon | okidoke | 23:23 |
| claptrap | I should be. I'll try more Googling in the meantime, with that idea in mind. Thanks! | 23:23 |
| Ardethian | I don't know how to use it in order to get all *.jpg files on a server. | 23:23 |
| IdleOne | sam555: lspci | grep video will give you info | 23:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | sam555, i think IdleOne meant "lscpi | grep VGA" actually | 23:24 |
| claptrap | harisund: I should be. I'll try more Googling in the meantime, with that idea in mind. Thanks! | 23:24 |
| harisund | claptrap: basically here's the thing - Do a ls, redirect output to a file. Create folder (n), read a line from the file, move the line just read to folder (n). Do this for 100 lines. Then, increment folder to n+1 and repeat | 23:24 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: yeah that too, I can use video and get the info | 23:24 |
| Superbest | do I have to sudo a package manager for it to be able to install software | 23:25 |
| VCoolio | Superbest: yes | 23:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | IdleOne, video doesn't work on my system? | 23:25 |
| Superbest | aha | 23:25 |
| claptrap | harisund: Well, that's a start! We'll see how far I get. ;) | 23:25 |
| IdleOne | ZykoticK9: oops your right, video output capture card info for me | 23:25 |
| IdleOne | VGA is correct | 23:25 |
| Ardethian | Is there a good program under GNU that lets you download all pictures hosted on a website? | 23:25 |
| fbianconi | u-foka, nope, not encrypted since it actuality reads raw data to figure out how it was before. | 23:25 |
| sam555 | ZykoticK9: thats what I tried before and it didn't work, but lshw worked! | 23:25 |
| Superbest | VCoolio, so if the properties for the shortcut to software-center say "/usr/bin/software-center", there's a problem? | 23:25 |
| bigtom21485 | I am running ubuntu 9.10 x64 on an hp tx2525nr and i am not getting sound | 23:26 |
| VCoolio | yes, that should have gksudo in front | 23:26 |
| VCoolio | Superbest: ^ | 23:26 |
| bigtom21485 | and i know its not my soudn card because when i boot windows i get full sound | 23:26 |
| bigtom21485 | if anyone wants to help that'd be awesome :-) | 23:26 |
| IdleOne | bigtom21485: run alsamixer and make sure nothing is muted | 23:26 |
| Emanon | ooh nice revolution os quote | 23:27 |
| bigtom21485 | IdleOne: what is alsa mixer? I am new to linux | 23:27 |
| happyface | how do I know when cp [-v] hasn't froze on a file? | 23:27 |
| Emanon | bigtom21485: alsa is the volume control | 23:27 |
| dinosaurvskitten | is there something like cpulimit but that allows you to limit the cpu usage of *all* programs that match a given string? Cpulimit only blocks the first one and doesn't apply itself to new processes after it has been launched. | 23:27 |
| Emanon | or the backend for it anyways | 23:27 |
| IdleOne | bigtom21485: alsmixer ( one word ) run it in Terminal and it is a utility to configure sound | 23:27 |
| u-foka | fbianconi, there isn't any header of a luks partition, what can be found? | 23:27 |
| IdleOne | alsamixer* | 23:27 |
| Emanon | !alsa | 23:28 |
| 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).

| srv | Jesus Christ! why is there nothing on Google related to encrypted ex4 passphrase? | 23:28 |
| Superbest | VCoolio, it did solve the problem. WHat could possibly alter that, besides me? I'm only 90% sure but I didn't change it, and ubuntu was installed yesterday | 23:28 |
| Emanon | what you need srv? | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | because Jesus does not support FOSS | 23:28 |
| IdleOne | let's keep religion out of this though | 23:28 |
| lunks | IdleOne, thanks! it worked! | 23:28 |
| Emanon | and its ext4 so that might filter your searches a lil | 23:29 |
| IdleOne | lunks: welcome, what I do? lol | 23:29 |
| srv | Emanon: I'm logged in to Ubuntu and I can see my encrypted ex4 home partition's contents, now I need to get the partition's passphrase | 23:29 |
| VCoolio | Superbest: not sure, ubuntu has strange things sometimes; there is also the videocard config app that needs gksudo but doesn't have that in the menu :( | 23:29 |
| lunks | IdleOne, pointed me into the right direction, at least :) | 23:29 |
| Superbest | VCoolio, so it's not likely my system is compromised? | 23:29 |
| IdleOne | lunks: ahhh, very welcome :) glad I could help | 23:29 |
| Emanon | did you encrypt just the home folder or the whole system srv? | 23:30 |
| srv | Emanon: I procrastinated so much I forgot to issue the command | 23:30 |
| srv | Emanon: home folder | 23:30 |
| Emanon | the passphrase should just be your login password then i think | 23:30 |
| Emanon | i could be wrong tho | 23:30 |
| amnay | Do you know any lightweight powerpoint-like software ? | 23:31 |
| srv | Emanon: no it's not, i remember the other time I installed Ubuntu, it was something generated by the system, not me | 23:31 |
| srv | Emanon: thank you though | 23:31 |
| VCoolio | Superbest: nah; I seems to have removed software-center, can't check for you if I have the same issue | 23:31 |
| u-foka | or can I recreate the partitions based on the data that the disk utility provides? it shows the size of each (still mounted) partition in bytes, but I can't convert them to exact cylinder counts :( | 23:31 |
| greezmunkey | srv, what did you use to encrypt your home folder? | 23:32 |
| amnay | Do you know any lightweight powerpoint like software for simple presentations? | 23:32 |
| erUSUL | u-foka: i weould use a specialized tool like testdisk or gpart instead of doing the calculations myself | 23:32 |
| Superbest | VCoolio, alright | 23:32 |
| brontosaurusrex | amnay: there is something with openoffice, dunno how lightweight is | 23:32 |
| srv | greezmunkey: There was an option to do so during the installation, I just clicked the radio button and after the installation, I was prompted twice to issue a shell command to get my hdd's passphrase | 23:33 |
| u-foka | erUSUL, but some of the partitions are lusk encrypted so testdisk can't found them | 23:33 |
