| catchjaga | hello | 00:32 |
|---|---|---|
| pedro3005 | hi catchjaga | 00:35 |
| catchjaga | hi pedro3005 | 00:38 |
| catchjaga | I have been having this issue with ubuntu installed on hard drive. it boots properly and after 2 minutes the screen crashes and shows weird colors. While running from the live cd I used boot parameters acpi=off and nodma, but I coulddnt find an equivalent parameter for nodma for booting from hard drive. | 00:38 |
| seidos | I've never seen that problem | 00:40 |
| * seidos wonders what would cause such a thing | 00:40 | |
| seidos | I also have not heard of noacpi or nodma modes. I've never enabled them off of a cd | 00:41 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, what do you mean you can't find? | 00:41 |
| pedro3005 | ide=nodma | 00:43 |
| pedro3005 | This command disables DMA on all IDE devices and may be useful when having IDE-related problems. | 00:43 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, weird... I was guessing something more related to the graphics card | 00:44 |
| seidos | I think to enable nodma he would have to add something to the kernel line in grub | 00:44 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, yes | 00:44 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, really I can't see how disabling DMA helps... but it does help? | 00:44 |
| seidos | pedro3005, I'm not certain what specifically he would have to modify in order to get nodma working off his hard drive install | 00:44 |
| seidos | well I found this "Open the file "drivers/ide/ide.c" in the kernel source directory. In this file, there's a global variable defined. Look for int noautodma = 0; and set it to 1. That's it." | 00:46 |
| catchjaga | yup.. while booting from live cd I had same issue, then I tried these 2 boot parameters and desktop was stable and was running for hours without any issues | 00:46 |
| seidos | that doesn't sound right, kernel source directory? scratch that | 00:46 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, he'd have to recompile | 00:46 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, then why can't you run with those two parameters normally? | 00:47 |
| seidos | pedro3005, catchjaga said he couldn't find a way to enable nodma on his hard drive install | 00:48 |
| catchjaga | nodma parameter is not available as grup boot options.. | 00:48 |
| seidos | is that right catchjaga? | 00:48 |
| catchjaga | sorry thats grub | 00:48 |
| seidos | catchjaga, I think you need to add it manually | 00:48 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, just edit the grub line and add ide=nodma | 00:48 |
| catchjaga | I tried that too.. | 00:48 |
| catchjaga | from ubuntu 9.10 ide-ndma doesnt work.. | 00:49 |
| catchjaga | I found this info on ubuntu forums | 00:49 |
| pedro3005 | canthus13, what info? that ide=nodma doesn't work? | 00:50 |
| catchjaga | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1396670 | 00:50 |
| seidos | catchjaga, did you use ide-ndma or ide=nodma? | 00:50 |
| catchjaga | I tried this as well.. didnt help | 00:50 |
| canthus13 | pedro3005: Eh? | 00:51 |
| catchjaga | I used ide=nodma | 00:51 |
| canthus13 | Oh. | 00:51 |
| canthus13 | :P | 00:51 |
| seidos | catchjaga, can you disable dma in the bios? | 00:51 |
| seidos | sorry canthus13 looks like a tab-complete gone awry | 00:52 |
| catchjaga_ | sorry my net connection keeps dropping | 00:54 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005: Im now logged in as catchjaga_ | 00:54 |
| canthus13 | seidos: All good. | 00:54 |
| seidos | catchjaga_, all right. I was asking if you can change your ide settings in the bios to pio mode 4 instead of dma | 00:55 |
| pedro3005 | sorry | 00:55 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, wait wait | 00:55 |
| catchjaga_ | how to do that? | 00:55 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga_, add the following parameter to your boot: | 00:55 |
| pedro3005 | libata.dma=3 | 00:55 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005: ok | 00:56 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, were you looking at some link? | 00:57 |
| catchjaga_ | I think I have tried that before.. didnt help.. anyways trying once again | 00:57 |
| seidos | pedro3005, I'm currently looking up how to modify a grub entry. I want to know how to do it | 00:58 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, I think you press e at the grub prompt | 00:58 |
| seidos | ah | 00:58 |
| seidos | I was trying to find menu.lst | 00:58 |
| seidos | so you can't modify it anymore using a text editor? | 00:59 |
| catchjaga_ | its now grub.lst from grub 2 | 00:59 |
| catchjaga_ | seidos: no we can edit | 01:00 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, you can, but if you're doing a one-time alteration or test, it's way much wiser to just edit at the grub prompt | 01:00 |
| seidos | ah, I see | 01:00 |
| * seidos takes a look at his grub.lst file | 01:00 | |
| * seidos doesn't have a grub.lst file | 01:00 | |
| pedro3005 | seidos, neither do I | 01:02 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005, libata.dma=3 didnt help | 01:02 |
| pedro3005 | seidos, try grub.cfg | 01:03 |
| seidos | pedro3005, yeah there it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 01:03 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga_, try libata.dma=0 | 01:03 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005, yup.. trying that now.. | 01:03 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005, libata.dma=0 didnt help | 01:06 |
| catchjaga_ | I have tried all options..from 0 to 4 | 01:08 |
| seidos | catchjaga_, can you disable dma mode on your ide controller in your systems bios? | 01:08 |
| seidos | probably not, but not sure what else to try | 01:08 |
| seidos | if it worked with the livecd it should be possible to get it working off of the hard drive | 01:09 |
| catchjaga_ | pedro3005, can it be any other issue? | 01:09 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga_, hm... if disabling dma works | 01:09 |
| pedro3005 | gotta find a way to disable dma! :P | 01:10 |
| catchjaga_ | Im now editing from bios | 01:10 |
| ibuclaw | what's wrong with his direct memory access ? | 01:11 |
| pedro3005 | ibuclaw, i don't know, but apparently getting rid of it help | 01:12 |
| pedro3005 | s | 01:12 |
| seidos | ibuclaw, from a livecd no problems when disabling dma, but off the hard drive after 2 minutes the screen prints a bunch of colors | 01:12 |
| seidos | I suppose it's possible that it's not a dma issue, that the graphical anomaly is a new problem now that he installed ubuntu to the hard drive | 01:13 |
| ibuclaw | you could try booting with: pci=nomsi,nommcon | 01:14 |
| ibuclaw | also, what did we learn about modprobe pedro3005 ? :) | 01:15 |
| pedro3005 | ibuclaw, :| | 01:15 |
| ibuclaw | actually, libata looks to be compiled into the kernel. ;) | 01:16 |
| ibuclaw | if it were a module: | 01:16 |
| ibuclaw | 'options libata dma=0' >> /etc/modprobe.d/options | 01:17 |
| catchjaga | pedro3005, I couldnt find an option in bios to diable dma | 01:39 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, try what ibuclaw said | 01:40 |
| catchjaga | i got dropped in between.. | 01:40 |
| catchjaga | whats that? | 01:40 |
| pedro3005 | you could try booting with: pci=nomsi,nommcon | 01:40 |
| catchjaga | ok | 01:40 |
| catchjaga | grub doesnt accept nommcon | 01:45 |
| catchjaga | pci=nomsi didnt work either | 01:45 |
| pedro3005 | ibuclaw, help? | 01:46 |
| catchjaga | pedro, I finally found a solution that works.. I edited /etc/default/grub and added the parameters acpi=off noapic nolapic nodma to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT updated the grub and rebooted... now Im not seeing any screen crashes.... | 02:22 |
| pedro3005 | catchjaga, great! | 02:23 |

| ZachK__ | lol | 05:02 |
| steelsteve | I don't know, even if I was a helping hand here I still wouldn't put an actual pic of myself online | 05:03 |
| ZachK__ | steelsteve: how do you know that's me? | 05:03 |
| hobgoblin | ZachK__: you'd almost have to hope not ... | 05:03 |
| steelsteve | "(01:02:08 AM) ZachK__: and steelsteve that is an older pic....i look alot different" | 05:04 |
| steelsteve | suggests that you are the person in that picture | 05:04 |
| ZachK__ | hobgoblin: ok enough now..... | 05:04 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 05:04 |
| steelsteve | unless you stole HIS identity, trashed it, and don't care who has it now | 05:04 |
| steelsteve | ok, thanks hobgoblin | 05:06 |
| steelsteve | btw your name is also a name of a beer from wychwood in britian | 05:06 |
| ZachK__ | steelsteve: wha???? | 05:07 |
| hobgoblin | funnily enough I know that steelsteve :) | 05:07 |
| steelsteve | lol | 05:07 |
| hobgoblin | though that is not the nick's origin | 05:08 |
| steelsteve | I work in a liquor store who are specialists in getting odd and cool stuff | 05:08 |
| steelsteve | and hobgoblin is a very popular beer | 05:08 |
| hobgoblin | I'm more of a guiness bloke tbh - but if I'm drinking beer I would much rather have something like hobgoblin than one ofthose nasty lager type things | 05:09 |
| steelsteve | good man hobgoblin, good man | 05:10 |
| steelsteve | try sammy smith, they make good stuff | 05:11 |
| steelsteve | their oatmeal stout sells extremely well in my store | 05:11 |
| steelsteve | (also from GB) | 05:11 |
| hobgoblin | never heard of it - but that is entirely possible as we have many small breweries | 05:11 |
| steelsteve | it's quite large | 05:12 |
| ZachK__ | steelsteve: take a look at me page now..... | 05:12 |
| ZachK__ | you too hobgoblin | 05:12 |
| steelsteve | ? | 05:12 |
| hobgoblin | I didn't look in the first place | 05:13 |
| steelsteve | lol | 05:13 |
| steelsteve | I think he looks better like that | 05:13 |
| steelsteve | xD | 05:13 |
| hobgoblin | some nasty bugs in lucid have appeared so if anyone has it don't just update - check the lucid forum first | 05:15 |
| ZachK__ | steelsteve: like that eh? | 05:15 |
| steelsteve | is lucid in beta already? | 05:16 |
| ZachK__ | steelsteve: i believe it is | 05:17 |
| steelsteve | intresting | 05:17 |
| hobgoblin | steelsteve: yesterday (19th) | 05:18 |
| hobgoblin | but there are a bunch of updates today that hammer nautilus and gnome-panel | 05:18 |
| steelsteve | so, the latest update (beta #2) is buggy and back to alpha? | 05:18 |
| steelsteve | ok | 05:18 |
| hobgoblin | I "think" that an install of beta1 is ok - it'supdates from alpha3 that are an issue - but I am still catching up on the forum | 05:19 |
| steelsteve | ok | 05:20 |
| steelsteve | not going into lucid until it's complete anyways | 05:21 |
| hobgoblin | steelsteve: it should be fine by then ;) hope so anyway as I have a hardy box I will upgrade then :) | 05:23 |
| ZachK__ | welcome steelsteve | 05:23 |
| steelsteve | ? | 05:23 |
| ZachK__ | i mean st4aluck | 05:23 |
| steelsteve | thought so | 05:23 |
| * ZachK__ hates tabfail | 05:23 | |
| steelsteve | ZachK__ is LAZZY | 05:23 |
| steelsteve | :p | 05:23 |
| steelsteve | I have a bunch of problems with facebook and other socail sites that I KNOW will hurt my researching later on | 05:25 |
| hobgoblin | steelsteve must be american with spelling like that - bet you don't spell colour properly either | 05:25 |
| steelsteve | (using 9.10 | 05:25 |
| steelsteve | ) | 05:25 |
| steelsteve | well excuse me | 05:25 |
| hobgoblin | steelsteve: researching social sites - sounds dodgy ... | 05:25 |
| hobgoblin | heh | 05:25 |
| steelsteve | I'm not researching socail sites | 05:26 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 05:26 |
| steelsteve | I just know some of the things in socail sites and my reserch sites have javascript, and it appears that javascript is making problems with my profiles | 05:26 |
| hobgoblin | I have no accounts with any of those places - a party I was glad to be late too | 05:26 |

| hobgoblin | s4aluck: it is possible that among the few people in this channel then no-one does at the moment - have you tried #ubuntu or even the forums? | 07:12 |
| s4aluck | hobgoblin: I asked in #ubuntu but nobody replyes | 07:14 |
| hobgoblin | I'd have a go on the forum then - I think I saw you asking about this yesterday? could be wrong of course :) | 07:15 |
| hobgoblin | is it some sort of security app? | 07:16 |
| hobgoblin | there is #ubuntu-hardened - if it is security then they might be able to help you | 07:17 |
| s4aluck | hobgoblin: thanks | 07:19 |

| hcs7dap | anyone there? | 13:35 |
| irshad2318 | Hi | 13:42 |
| nhandler | Hello irshad2318 , can I help you with something? | 13:45 |
| hobgoblin | nhandler: some are in a hurry :) | 13:46 |
| nhandler | I never understood why people log off of IRC | 13:49 |
| hobgoblin | me neither | 13:50 |
| hobgoblin | possibly they think there are people constantly watching and thus are being ignored | 13:50 |
| hobgoblin | or are just impatient :D | 13:51 |
| nhandler | Being connected 24/7 has so many pros that it just doesn't make sense to not be connected | 13:54 |
| hobgoblin | lol | 13:55 |
| hobgoblin | well I turn this one off at night mostly - but that is only because I am a tight old hippy - the other stays on because I am a lazy old hippy | 13:56 |
| nhandler | I run one instance of screen+irssi on my laptop at home which is on ~24/7. For the instances where something happens to my computer or I can't connect remotely via ssh, I have irssi running on a remote server that has pretty good uptime | 14:06 |
| phillw | hobgoblin: that looked like a frantic couple of hours for the devs re: the sticky on lucid tesing, that's some awesome turn-around :-) | 15:27 |
| joeliasjunior | Hello people, anyone here knows how to recovery a ext3 deleted folder? | 15:28 |
| phillw | hi joeliasjunior, never tried it, but this link may be of help - you'd need to use something like a live usb boot I figure, as you need to install a programme, and that may over-write the data area you're trying to recover --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/recover-deleted-files-with-foremostscalpel-in-ubuntu.html | 15:34 |
| geirha | joeliasjunior: It's not possible to recover files on ext3. You can recover data though, if it can be identified. | 15:34 |
| joeliasjunior | thanks geirha | 15:36 |
| joeliasjunior | phillw, thak you, I'll see this article but if really needs a usb boot, it not solve my problem. I need to recovery a especific folder in a remote server | 15:37 |
| phillw | I'm not sure how it will handle a remote server directory, but if you can mount the drive on your local system, and have the programme run on your local machine, I think it would work okay. | 15:38 |
| joeliasjunior | Okay phillw. I will read and verify what I can do. | 15:40 |
| phillw | joeliasjunior: good luck | 15:42 |
| joeliasjunior | Phillw! Very thank you!! I'll need a lot! :-D | 15:43 |
| cprofitt | hey -- anyone know why Windows 7 can not connect to an Ubuntu share? | 16:28 |
| Akos | cprofitt: it asks for a password or it doesn't even see it ? Would be good to know on what Workgroups are the two machines | 16:31 |
| cprofitt | it sees it... | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | asked for password | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | then fails | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | reports back login failure | 16:32 |
| cprofitt | I have tried lowering the NTLM requirements... to no avail | 16:32 |
| Akos | well add a new smb user | 16:33 |
| cprofitt | the user I was using is in the SMB group... | 16:33 |
| Akos | from ubuntu to ubuntu works? | 16:34 |
| cprofitt | have not tried that... | 16:34 |
| cprofitt | but if I remove the requirement for a password it works | 16:35 |
| cprofitt | so sharing is working... but authentication is not | 16:35 |
| Akos | well, maybe you are trying with a wrong password, or i dunno. Try setting up the smb passwd again | 16:35 |
| Akos | i mean i'm sure you thought of that | 16:35 |
| cprofitt | is there a sep. smb password or the users password? | 16:36 |
| Akos | there is a separata one | 16:36 |
| Akos | samba uses a different password | 16:36 |
| cprofitt | ah... where is that one defined? | 16:37 |
| Akos | cprofitt: http://samba.netfirms.com/addusers.htm | 16:37 |
| cprofitt | I did this by simply right clicking on the folder and telling it to share | 16:38 |
| Akos | yeah, that won't work, you need to setup a password, even for your user | 16:39 |
| Akos | https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html | 16:39 |
| Akos | see here too | 16:39 |
| Akos | For example to add a SAMBA user to your Ubuntu system with the user name jseinfeld, you would enter this command at the prompt: | 16:39 |
| Akos | smbpasswd -a jseinfeld | 16:39 |
| cprofitt | yeah... got that.. | 16:40 |
| cprofitt | and trying... | 16:40 |
| cprofitt | just odd that Ubuntu would GUI the process and not take care of that | 16:40 |
| cprofitt | that works though | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | so the GUI is borked... | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | how typicall of some of this stuff | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | thanks Akos | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | I was driving myself nuts... | 16:41 |
| Akos | glad i could help cprofitt (: | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | now... I have to decide if I want him to have a GUI | 16:41 |
| cprofitt | or make it a server install... | 16:42 |
| Akos | it should be easier, like samba should take the user login and passwd ... | 16:42 |
| cprofitt | yeo | 16:42 |
| cprofitt | yep... | 16:42 |
| Akos | because this way it's just absurd, that you share, but you still have to do a command. Or it would be good to prompt you to input a password | 16:42 |
| cprofitt | the GUI would be fine... if it just had a entry field for the passwd | 16:43 |
| cprofitt | or prompted as you said. | 16:43 |
| cprofitt | gah | 16:52 |
| cprofitt | so samba does not differentiate between users either... | 16:52 |
| cprofitt | I am thinking the GUI implementation is not... ah... sufficient | 16:54 |
| cprofitt | Akos: got anything on how to limit shares to particular users? | 16:58 |
| Akos | cprofitt: i didn't dig that deep | 17:00 |
| Akos | but you can specify options to each folders in the smb.conf file | 17:01 |
| Akos | yeah, terminal again | 17:01 |
| cprofitt | I think I got that... | 17:02 |
| cprofitt | testing now... | 17:02 |
| cprofitt | it was a few pages back | 17:02 |
| cprofitt | the GUI did not add anything to the smb.conf | 17:03 |
| cprofitt | which is ... ah... odd | 17:03 |
| cprofitt | /etc/samba/smb.conf right? | 17:03 |
| cprofitt | hmm... | 17:05 |
| cprofitt | that did not work... | 17:05 |
| cprofitt | Akos: /etc/samba/smb.conf the right file? | 17:05 |
| * cprofitt ponders moving to the server install... | 17:08 | |
| asterismo | hi people | 18:14 |
| asterismo | hi pedro3005, ibuclaw, nigelb, Silver_Fox_ | 18:14 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Hello | 18:14 |
| asterismo | hi duanedesign | 18:15 |
| asterismo | hi PabloRubianes | 18:15 |
| PabloRubianes | asterismo: hi... this is not the chat channel :P | 18:16 |
| asterismo | i will never understand what channel is for... anyway beginners, beginners-team... | 18:16 |
| asterismo | hahah | 18:16 |
| asterismo | does anyone experienced issue with automounting usb pendrives? | 18:19 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, yes. you just stick it in and go :) | 18:19 |
| asterismo | after upgraded to lucid that feature did not work again | 18:19 |
| asterismo | can't mount external WD 500 GB drive | 18:20 |
| asterismo | neither pendrives | 18:20 |
| asterismo | some thing must went wrong | 18:20 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, as it is a beta, have you tried a fresh install? | 18:20 |
| asterismo | nope | 18:21 |
| asterismo | i upgraded 1 week ago | 18:21 |
| asterismo | and yesterday it upgraded near 100 MB of packages | 18:21 |
| asterismo | wireless still unrecognized | 18:22 |
| asterismo | broadcom | 18:22 |
| Sword2318 | Can any1 tel how stop open n close ports in ubuntu 9.10 | 19:06 |
| pedro3005 | hello Sword2318 | 19:07 |
| Sword2318 | Helo pedro3005 | 19:07 |
| pedro3005 | Sword2318, do you have the firewall enabled? | 19:08 |
| Sword2318 | Yes i enabled it | 19:08 |
| pedro3005 | Sword2318, would this help? http://beginlinux.com/blog/2009/10/ubuntu-9-10-ufw-firewall/ | 19:09 |
| Sword2318 | Ok thank u | 19:09 |
| Sword2318 | Il just check | 19:10 |
| Sword2318 | Hey nthr 1 can u | 19:10 |
| cprofitt | Akos: it was much easier setting up a SAMBA server using the server install | 19:38 |
| cprofitt | the GUI just isn't right | 19:38 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, well, as it still in development, I'd probably recommend you installing a fresh copy of the beta (twas released only yesterday). | 19:43 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, if that is not an option. try creating a new user account, to see if the problem follows. | 19:44 |
| asterismo | ibuclaw: i'll try making a new account... thanks | 20:06 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, if it follows to the new user, then there was a problem upgrading your system. ;) | 20:08 |
| ibuclaw | if not, then you have a conflicting old/deprecated configuration in your current account - inherited from karmic. | 20:09 |
| asterismo | and if it is the case, is thare some command like "sudo configure-again-my-system" | 20:09 |
| asterismo | or something like that? | 20:09 |
| Sword2318 | How to start n stop x11vnc | 20:11 |
| ibuclaw | asterismo, nothing that will be easier than downloading / installing a fresh beta | 20:11 |
| ibuclaw | aptitude reinstall <every package> will break your system. | 20:12 |
| ibuclaw | Sword2318, whats the client / server ? | 20:12 |
| Sword2318 | Ibuclaw name x11vnc | 20:13 |
| ibuclaw | oh | 20:13 |
| Sword2318 | Ibuclaw its x11vnc | 20:14 |
| Sword2318 | Sorry am new to ubuntu | 20:14 |
| Sword2318 | Ibuclaw can u help on this | 20:14 |
| ibuclaw | I've always used vnc-common /meself | 20:15 |
| Sword2318 | Ibuclaw do u knw how to start n stop service in cmd line | 20:17 |
| ibuclaw | to quote the manpage: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man1/x11vnc.1.html | 20:17 |
| ibuclaw | on the server, you'd run: | 20:18 |
| ibuclaw | x11vnc -display :0 | 20:18 |
| Sword2318 | Ok thanks lot , | 20:18 |
| ibuclaw | ":0" would be the display of the Xserver. The primary one is usually :0, but if you have many Xsessions on one desktop/system, then the number may vary =) | 20:19 |
| ibuclaw | Sword2318, to connect from client something like: | 20:19 |
| ibuclaw | vncviewer hostname:0 | 20:20 |
| ibuclaw | should connect you. | 20:20 |
| Sword2318 | K.. | 20:20 |
| ibuclaw | if you are behind a router, it's usually: | 20:20 |
| ibuclaw | vncviewer hostname.local:0 | 20:21 |
| ibuclaw | if name resolution is working. | 20:21 |
| ibuclaw | if name resolution isn't working, then you'd specify the IP address instead. | 20:21 |
| cprofitt | how do I list groups via command line? | 20:22 |
| asterismo | if something was carried out wrong, there is should be some kind of log that says... error upgrading... or something in certain packages | 20:22 |
| ibuclaw | groups | 20:22 |
| asterismo | right? | 20:22 |
| ibuclaw | cprofitt, ^^ | 20:22 |
| asterismo | is there any kind of log after distupgrading? | 20:22 |
| cprofitt | hmm... | 20:22 |
| cprofitt | appears to only list 'my groups' | 20:22 |
| ibuclaw | cprofitt, cut -f1 -d: /etc/group ?? | 20:23 |
| cprofitt | that works... | 20:24 |
| ibuclaw | pipe it to more / less ... if you don't have scrollback | 20:24 |
| cprofitt | farting around with samba server | 20:24 |
| ibuclaw | cprofitt, though not sure of any easy way to list them | 20:24 |
| asterismo | anyway | 20:25 |
| ibuclaw | you could probably alias that to lsgroup | 20:25 |
| asterismo | does anybody know any how to in compiling a custom kernel? | 20:26 |
| ibuclaw | o/ | 20:26 |
| ibuclaw | and no - a custom kernel won't speed up your system | 20:26 |
| ibuclaw | and if it does, you won't notice | 20:27 |
| freezeloud_ | hi, please is possible if i logged few times to irc from empathy that it blocks to get my nick when i'am connecting from another client (smuxi)? | 20:43 |
| pedro3005 | freezeloud_, is your nick registered? | 20:44 |
| freezeloud_ | don't think so, at least i did not do it, i'am irc newbie... | 20:46 |
| pleia2 | freezeloud_: according to freenode, you are still logged on as freezeloud (without the underscore) as well | 20:50 |
| pleia2 | 13:50:47 [freenode] CTCP VERSION reply from freezeloud: Smuxi 0.7.1.0 - running on Unix 32-bit | 20:50 |
| pleia2 | were you trying out other irc clients too? | 20:51 |
| pleia2 | oh, actually, that must be empathy | 20:52 |
| cprofitt | I think I want to shoot the people who wrote the samba documentation | 20:52 |
| pleia2 | freezeloud_: look around empathy, you'll probably find that you're connected twice :) | 20:52 |
| cprofitt | or maybe just make them use Apple computers | 20:52 |
| pleia2 | cprofitt: heh, yeah, it's not awesome | 20:52 |
| cprofitt | it sucks beyond all belief | 20:53 |
| Hellow | cprofitt: Making them use Apple computers is worse than being shot. | 20:53 |
| cprofitt | and is out of date from what I can tell | 20:53 |
| cprofitt | Hellow: I know | 20:53 |
| freezeloud_ | pleia2: yes, i tried empathy first and now i'm connected on smuxi | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | freezeloud_: oh I see | 20:53 |
| ibuclaw | freezeloud_, then disconnect on empathy? | 20:53 |
| pleia2 | freezeloud_: so it looks like you connected twice with smuxi | 20:53 |
| ibuclaw | or what pleia2 said ;) | 20:54 |
| Hellow | Yes, what pleia2 said, since both freezeloud_ and freezeloud are responding with the same CTCP version reply. | 20:54 |
| * pleia2 nods | 20:54 | |
| freezeloud_ | on empathy i disable account so it is probably both smuxi | 20:54 |
| pleia2 | yep | 20:54 |
| Hellow | >freezeloud< CTCP VERSION | 20:54 |
| Hellow | -freezeloud- VERSION Smuxi 0.7.1.0 - running on Unix 32-bit | 20:54 |
| Hellow | >freezeloud_< CTCP VERSION | 20:54 |
| Hellow | -freezeloud_- VERSION Smuxi 0.7.1.0 - running on Unix 32-bit | 20:54 |
| freezeloud_ | and on smuxi i am connected on two servers what might be that issue? irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com | 20:55 |
| pleia2 | yes, that's the issue | 20:55 |
| Hellow | freezeloud_: irc.ubuntu.com is just a redirect to irc.freenode.net | 20:55 |
| pleia2 | irc.freenode.net and irc.ubuntu.com are the same server :) | 20:55 |
| freezeloud_ | :D ouch i'm sorry, that's good to know :) | 20:56 |
| pleia2 | no problem, glad we could get to the bottom of it | 20:57 |
| freezeloud_ | thank you very much :) | 20:57 |
| freezeloud_ | to all of you :) | 20:58 |
| Hellow | ...and why is this channel +s? | 20:58 |
| pleia2 | Hellow: good question | 20:58 |
| pedro3005 | it's obvious | 20:58 |
| pedro3005 | we wouldn't want beginners to come over here and bother us | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | pedro3005: haha :) | 20:59 |
| pedro3005 | :X | 20:59 |
| pleia2 | wb freezeloud | 20:59 |
| freezeloud | thanks pleia2 :) | 20:59 |
| freezeloud | will try to don't bother you any soon :D | 21:00 |
| pedro3005 | freezeloud, aww :P just kidding | 21:00 |
| pedro3005 | you can bother | 21:01 |
| freezeloud | pedro3005: i hoped so :) but anyway try to won't | 21:03 |
| cprofitt | gah | 21:10 |
| cprofitt | anyone know why the default install of 9.10 Samba server does not show on a Windows computer when browsing the network? | 21:11 |
| Hellow | brb, going to reboot for updates installed. | 21:16 |
| Hellow | Nothing's dead, so apparently it worked right. | 21:21 |
| ibuclaw | cprofitt, need to be on the same workgroup? | 21:30 |
| cprofitt | they are... | 21:30 |
| cprofitt | what is odd... is the workstation w/ samba installed | 21:30 |
| cprofitt | was visible | 21:31 |
| cprofitt | but the home directories were borked | 21:31 |
| cprofitt | the server is not visible | 21:31 |
| cprofitt | but the home directories work | 21:31 |
| ibuclaw | I honestly can't remember what I did last time I setup samba to transfer files to a friends computer | 21:32 |
| cprofitt | I will muddle throught it | 21:32 |
| cprofitt | but the Ubuntu docs are crap from what I can tell | 21:32 |
| ibuclaw | I remember fiddling for a minute or two, then got it to work ... but couldn't connect | 21:32 |
| cprofitt | they seem to mix samba client with samba server | 21:32 |
| ibuclaw | then realised my firewall was not setup :{ | 21:32 |

| bgs100 | hcs7dap, That article is from 2007, and probably links to an old version. The official site is here: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 22:43 |

| cprofitt | Akos: | 22:57 |
| cprofitt | you there? | 22:58 |
| cprofitt | any samba experts in the channel? | 22:59 |
| Akos | cprofitt: i'm here now, just got back from the Cinema | 23:06 |
| cprofitt | cool... | 23:07 |
| Akos | anything I can help with? (: | 23:07 |
| cprofitt | this is what fixed the issues with the samba server | 23:07 |
| cprofitt | [<username>] path = /home/<usename> browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = no directory mask = 0700 create mask = 0700 valid users = <username> | 23:07 |
| cprofitt | I had to add that for each user... | 23:07 |
| cprofitt | then it allowed them to be browseable | 23:07 |
| cprofitt | and only allowed one user to use them | 23:08 |
| cprofitt | I also had to add an entry for netbios name | 23:08 |
| Akos | oh, so there is a lot to samba configuration | 23:08 |
| cprofitt | yeah... | 23:08 |
| cprofitt | and the documentation is not good... | 23:08 |
| Akos | why isn'T there a GUI for it? | 23:08 |
| cprofitt | well... I got it working on a server install | 23:08 |
| cprofitt | GUI-less | 23:08 |
| Akos | well yeah, config files, but on a desktop, this should be done from the preferences I guess ... | 23:09 |
| Akos | hmm, i found this: http://us4.samba.org/samba/GUI/ | 23:09 |
| cprofitt | I agree on a desktop | 23:09 |
| cprofitt | but on the desktop it was browseable | 23:09 |
| cprofitt | despite not being in the smb.conf | 23:09 |
| cprofitt | and the folders were not created properly either | 23:10 |
| cprofitt | nor was the smb password set | 23:10 |
| Akos | hmm i see | 23:10 |
| Akos | i never really dug deep in to this, just used it at home across 4 computers | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | yeah | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | I am setting it up for some windows users | 23:11 |
| cprofitt | so I had to have certain things | 23:11 |
| Akos | fair enough | 23:11 |
| Akos | please excuse me, i shall go to bed (: | 23:12 |
| Akos | good night team | 23:12 |
| cprofitt | yeah... not optimal... but it will work for them | 23:12 |
| cprofitt | night Akos | 23:12 |
| Cogito1729 | Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu using a USB drive only, but the USB drive is not being recognized on boot. Could use a hint or two. | 23:27 |
| Cogito1729 | Hi, anyone around? | 23:31 |
| bodhizazen | yes | 23:32 |
| Cogito1729 | Awesome! | 23:32 |
| Cogito1729 | Can you point me in the right direction with my USB installation? | 23:32 |
| bodhizazen | probably, what you want ? | 23:32 |
| Cogito1729 | I'm installing Ubuntu on a ps3, using a USB drive only, but the USB drive is not being recognized on boot. | 23:32 |
| Cogito1729 | I'm pretty sure I've incorrectly prepared the USB drive from the ISO | 23:33 |
| stlsaint | Cogito1729: what distro are you using? | 23:33 |
| Cogito1729 | I'm using Xubuntu 9.10 | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | Cogito1729: meh, thats not really gonna fly from what i know | 23:34 |
| bodhizazen | I use unetbootin | 23:34 |
| stlsaint | Cogito1729: there are other distros made that are more suitable with the ps3 | 23:35 |
| stlsaint | Cogito1729: IE: Yellow linux if i recall correctly | 23:35 |
| Cogito1729 | stlsaint: Which one? I got the 9.10 link from the ps ubuntu website itself. http://psubuntu.com/wiki/UbuntuVersions | 23:35 |
| Cogito1729 | stlsaint: You recommend Yellowdog instead of ubuntu? | 23:35 |
| Cogito1729 | bodhizazen: Should I prepare the USB drive with unetbootin? | 23:37 |
| stlsaint | yes | 23:37 |
| Cogito1729 | Okay, so I'll try YDL on ps3 using unetbootin to prepare the USB drive. | 23:38 |
| stlsaint | Cogito1729: or possible puppy linux will be even better suited over ubuntu | 23:39 |
| Cogito1729 | stlsaint: I have only basic familiarity with Linux, and puppy seems like it has a very small community. I feel like I'd be better off with YDL. | 23:46 |
| Cogito1729 | Although puppy is supposedly so lightweight that it is tempting. | 23:47 |
| phillw | Cogito1729: there has been a lively ;-) debate over at http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/236273-38-best-linux-distro | 23:53 |
| Cogito1729 | Phillw: thanks, reading that now! | 23:53 |
| phillw | starts old, gets real new :-) | 23:53 |
| bodhizazen | Slitaz FTW =) | 23:55 |
| cprofitt | hey bodhizazen | 23:55 |
| bodhizazen | 'lo cprofitt | 23:55 |
| cprofitt | just watched the Kansas game... | 23:56 |
| cprofitt | they got beat... | 23:56 |
| cprofitt | woot!! | 23:56 |
| bodhizazen | here comes spam ... | 23:56 |
| bodhizazen | http://bodhizazen.fivebean.net/customdist.iso | 23:56 |
| cprofitt | YDL? | 23:56 |
| bodhizazen | that is the Zenix 10.05 Alpha, very very rough | 23:56 |
| cprofitt | Zenix is yours bodhizazen ? | 23:57 |
| bodhizazen | yes | 23:57 |
| cprofitt | cool... | 23:58 |
| bodhizazen | http://zenix-os.net/index.php?nav=features | 23:58 |
| cprofitt | 10.05 already... | 23:58 |
| bodhizazen | but I am NOT the only one developing it | 23:58 |
| bodhizazen | well, we are going to Ubuntu +1 , it is difficult to develop when Ubuntu is in Alpha | 23:58 |
| cprofitt | nice -- how many others? | 23:58 |
| bodhizazen | Not many | 23:59 |
