| ZykoticK9 | !grub2 > visof | 00:54 |
| ubottu | visof, please see my private message | 00:54 |

| ZykoticK9 | unop, visof DO NOT edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 00:54 |
| unop | ZykoticK9, no one's advocating that, are they? | 00:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | unop, unless you specifically explain your statement people are going to assume that grub.cfg is a replacement of menu.lst | 00:55 |

| titan_ark | unop, k | 00:58 |

| unop | Typos_King, yea, that works until you do a kernel upgrade ... | 00:59 |

| Typos_King | unop: indeed, is exactly what I think about the advice on no touching it, I do advice to back it up and that it gets overwritten, but I think there's overcaution and I'd say overzealousy on the warnings there, and yes, I do think they also use the works-for-me lines too, as much as I do, so | 01:03 |
| unop | picard1421, well, the way DNS works - you shouldn't need to change anything i.e. you should be able to use the existing DNS servers in your resolv.conf for resolution | 01:04 |
| flyingtabmow | i know the file is running, i have it writing to a file on the desktop to make sure | 01:04 |
| flyingtabmow | my only guess is that something else is loading a different modmap file after mine | 01:04 |
| unop | picard1421, in otherwords, it sounds like you need to ensure that your dynamic DNS provider is setting up your MX records properly | 01:04 |
| picard1421 | yea basically | 01:04 |
| flyingtabmow | when i run it from the terminal it works as expected | 01:04 |
| picard1421 | because my resolv conf should be pointing to my Dynamic DNS? | 01:04 |
| picard1421 | im not relaly sure what i have to have in the hosts file ? | 01:05 |
| picard1421 | or resolv file? | 01:05 |
| buttons840 | how can i set the CLASSPATH environmental variable for java? | 01:05 |
| buttons840 | export CLASSPATH = path? | 01:05 |
| Typos_King | buttons: yes | 01:05 |
| unop | picard1421, the hosts file does nothing for DNS .. you can't have it return MX records. | 01:05 |
| picard1421 | ok what does the hosts file do? | 01:06 |
| seyfarth | Anyone know the keyboard shortcut to switch between channels on xchat? | 01:06 |
| unop | picard1421, just make sure your dynamic DNS provider can update MX records too .. then everyone in the world (including you whereever you are) can see the change. | 01:06 |
| picard1421 | no i understand.. but what does the resolv.conf and hosts file do .. what if i had them blank persay?? | 01:06 |
| autobot | seyfarth: on irssi it's /window next or /window # maybe similar | 01:07 |
| picard1421 | im confused why i need them and somewhat confused am i pointing them to an External IP or do i point them 127.0.0.1? | 01:07 |
| seyfarth | autobot: thanks | 01:07 |
| picard1421 | so like mysite.org should be in the hosts file? and pointed somewhere? | 01:07 |
| autobot | seyfarth: np | 01:07 |
| unop | picard1421, the hosts file does very simple name-to-IP translation --- no complex DNS information like A, CNAME and MX records. The resolv.conf is a list of DNS servers your machine uses to then go query those servers to do DNS resolution. | 01:07 |
| Untitled_only | hello, can anyone help me enable window grapic? | 01:08 |
| picard1421 | ok | 01:08 |
| Untitled_only | graphics, i mean | 01:08 |
| picard1421 | so like i should have those pointed to like google's dns stuf etc.. | 01:08 |
| Typos_King | seyfarth: IIRC, unless you set the keybindings.... lemme think... I've use ctrl-pgup and pgdn, but I think it also does Alt and a channel letter combo | 01:08 |
| picard1421 | and then in the hosts file i can have localhost and 127.0.0.1 | 01:08 |
| picard1421 | and that is all i need? | 01:08 |
| autobot | picard1421: say you wan't to ssh to a machine and you wan't to use a friendly name...it's good for that ie. 22.32.12.33 = mylinux.server | 01:09 |
| picard1421 | but i need to own that domain server? | 01:09 |
| autobot | picard1421: yes thats enough to get you by | 01:09 |

| Untitled_only | I'm trying to enable graphics on a old computer | 01:09 |
| picard1421 | ok.. | 01:09 |
| unop | picard1421, right, yes. if zimbra wants to query the MX record for your domain/DNS name -- it should go about it normally i.e. query google's DNS servers first and so on until it finds your Dynamic DNS provider -- which if setup properly should return the right IP addresses for the MX record. | 01:09 |
| picard1421 | so if i disable bind and just external DNS servers i should still be ok | 01:09 |
| picard1421 | and the IP should be of my Computer (which is updated etc..?) | 01:10 |
| Untitled_only | compiz fusion, isn't working | 01:10 |

| nullr | some progrees | 02:29 |
| acicula | nealindia: well if i read the man page right it will forward the traffic to the tunneled machine, in this case machine A, but probably it needs some routing or? never tried forwarding with ssh myself | 02:29 |
| nullr | i just kept finding the old one | 02:29 |
| cain22 | hey, quick question | 02:29 |
| nealindia | :( | 02:30 |
| cain22 | if i have unr. does it know not to upgrade the packages with ones from the regular distro...or is there no difference? | 02:30 |
| nealindia | i m write "ssh -D 9999 useranme@machineA" on machine B | 02:31 |

| nealindia | acicula, i m writing "ssh -D 9999 useranme@machineA" on machine B | 02:31 |
| nealindia | so this will connect to machineA:22 and opens up a socks proxy on 9999 for machineB | 02:31 |

| nullr | gottto: I opened that file but i dont see the boot options. | 02:32 |

| nealindia | acicula, I was able to open machineA's apache default page on machineB | 02:32 |
| gottto | nullr: it should have been a folder... | 02:32 |

| onaogh | Mardok, i am not sure, but i guess that when you make a bootable usb on certain machine, it copies the appropriate drivers for that specific machine into the ramfs, and if you try to boot that flash drive on different machine, the hardware are different so it crashes or gives kernel panic | 02:38 |

| bsmith093 | i don t | 02:57 |

| Fishscene | turbowei: That doesn't look transparent. | 02:59 |
| Syndey | I searched for all the files that had the chars "chrome" in them. There are "many". Is there an easy way to tell which are in the same folders? .. without doing "properties" on each one and remembering? | 03:00 |

| turbowei | Fishscene, is there anyway to change it to solid? | 03:01 |
| Syndey | fishscene how do I make mine transparent? | 03:01 |
| linuxuser5152 | helloo. | 03:01 |
| Syndey | solow, is your webcam supported by ubuntu? Search the docs to find out. | 03:01 |
| rww | turbowei: umm. That screenshot shows a right-click menu with a solid background... | 03:02 |
| solow | Syndey, wth... never mind. going back to windows. driver support sucks | 03:02 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | Can anyone give me a hand please... I switched my hard drive from 1 system to another and now it will not detect the network card at all...I'm sure someone has had this issue before and knows how to solve it. | 03:02 |
| turbowei | rww, how can I change it? | 03:02 |
| cain22 | ha, bitch at the manufactures | 03:03 |
| Syndey | is just differnt | 03:03 |

| turbowei | rww, if it is solid,I wanna change it to another. | 03:03 |
| gottto | [B]lack[D]ragoN: it might be eth1 now | 03:03 |
| rww | o.O | 03:03 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: ethernet card or wireless? | 03:03 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ethernet. and eth1 doesn't exist. ifconfig returns nothing. | 03:03 |
| Syndey | I want to stop freezing - so I want to remove flash from chrome - and there must be 75 files that are called chrome, most locked. | 03:03 |
| acicula | what about eth0? | 03:03 |
| dean | anyone........is there anyway for me to get graphiteone?? | 03:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | eth0 doesn't exist either...thats why im having the issue | 03:04 |
| acicula | does an ifconfig eth0 or eth1 up work? | 03:04 |
| gottto | [B]lack[D]ragoN: does it show in lspci ? | 03:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | gottto: No. | 03:04 |

| [B]lack[D]ragoN | neither work. | 03:05 |
| acicula | heu if it doesnt show in lspci it wont work | 03:05 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: are you sure the nic is enabled in the bios | 03:05 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | yes it is enabled | 03:05 |
| V3RR3Z | anyone good with samba | 03:05 |
| acicula | can you pastebin the output from lspci then? afaik wether supported or not it should at least show | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | !anyone | V3RR3Z | 03:06 |
| ubottu | V3RR3Z: 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? | 03:06 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: it doesnt even show up in lspci at all | 03:06 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | its not listed | 03:06 |
| rww | [B]lack[D]ragoN: try lsusb | 03:06 |
| gottto | check the bios | 03:07 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | no ethernet listed in usb, since its an onboard card | 03:07 |
| V3RR3Z | anyone: I am using Samba to share from Ubuntu to Windows computers.. I have got it to work on a laptop but the computer i am actually wanting it to work on isnt working... | 03:07 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: did you check or just assume it is enabled in the bios? | 03:08 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | i am checking again now, but it was on as of this morning | 03:08 |
| Gran_Ger | V3RR3Z, what do you have into the computer doesn't work? Win or Ubuntu? | 03:08 |

| V3RR3Z | win | 03:09 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: hmm well if its on you could try to hit pause just after the first bios screen, requires some keyboard kongfu, but it should list an ethernetcard there during boot | 03:09 |
| V3RR3Z | i am ubun.. it is win vista | 03:10 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah that means it cant find a device | 03:10 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: well a lacking driver causes it, but vov | 03:10 |

| turbowei | Is there a widget factory? | 03:12 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ah hah, now i feel stupid, the ethernet setting in bios was disabled for some reason | 03:12 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | oddly it was enabled this morning | 03:13 |
| Gran_Ger | Can you see the files from the ubuntu pc into your vista pc? | 03:13 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | k booting back up now, see if we run into anymore problems | 03:13 |
| V3RR3Z | I can see the folders.. but cant access the folders.. | 03:14 |
| acicula | qwerty1: conflicting package probably because an (other i assume) arping program is installed | 03:14 |
| coz_ | turbowei, well there is a widget factory of sorts but to make a gtk theme you would most likely get more info by looking at the gtkrc file in one of the themes you have onboard | 03:14 |
| stercor | I wish to get a French e'. I tried the Debian method with the Compose key. All went fine, except for one thing: it doesn't work. Any pointers? Oh, and while we're at it umlauts and ess-tzets would be nice. I'll even c/p them from a font screen. | 03:14 |
| Gran_Ger | and at the ubuntu pc, did you gave the right permissions? | 03:14 |
| woody_ | Hi, i got a gateway netbook and i'm trying to trouble shoot a wifi error problem. Has anyone had any experience with this? | 03:15 |
| qwerty1 | acicula: I delete it ( arping) | 03:15 |
| acicula | qwerty1: as in sudo rm /path/to/arping ? | 03:15 |
| qwerty1 | it s said that arping have a confilct with iptils i think | 03:15 |
| trhuggins | I'm gonna try adding some other sound programs and see if that helps | 03:16 |
| qwerty1 | i dont remeber sorry, my question is... is there i program like arping, to ping a mac adress? | 03:16 |
| acicula | well there is an arping package and iputils-arping both of which provide arping | 03:16 |
| tiki | okay, I dunno if its the right channel, but here goes: When i sync banshee with my Nexus One, it converts FLAC songs to another format before transferring. My phone has a custom rom on it and supports flac. Is there any way to stop the conversion? | 03:17 |

| acicula | reinstall iputils-arping package and use the provided arping? | 03:19 |
| Gran_Ger | V3rr3z, is Vista the problem? | 03:19 |
| qwerty1 | acicula: ok, thank you i will try | 03:19 |
| V3RR3Z | Gran_Ger I dont know.. what would the issuse be? | 03:20 |
| terry_ | qwerty1: Why not just ping the IP address? | 03:20 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | srsly | 03:20 |
| Azh | anyone know anything about firestarter? | 03:20 |
| acicula | woody_: what kind of wireless problem, are you on karmic and have you applied updates after installing yet ? | 03:20 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ok, so its detecting the card properly now, but now it's giving me a really confusing issue....instead of giving an ip in the address field of ifconfig, its giving me a code of letters and numbers | 03:20 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | thus no connection still | 03:20 |
| Gran_Ger | I usually have some problems with vista to sharing folders. | 03:20 |
| V3RR3Z | Anything needed to enable on the vista? | 03:20 |
| qwerty1 | terry_: I dont know it! | 03:21 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: code of letters and numbers? | 03:21 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | [B]lack[D]ragoN, what does the code look like? | 03:21 |
| Gran_Ger | step 1, check if Ubuntu has the privileges to share as a guest | 03:21 |
| meowbuntu | hi is there a cli to reinstall ubuntu back to default install something has been broken. i dont want to loose any files etc just restore default again. | 03:21 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | [B]lack[D]ragoN, like: 1d32:123d:5071:DDEE::1093 ? | 03:21 |
| Azh | looking for some firestarter help plz | 03:21 |
| qwerty1 | some one is trying to connect to my network | 03:21 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | no, not a mac id | 03:21 |
| Gran_Ger | try at vista the Win key + R | 03:21 |
| Syndey | coz_ I dont know. It happens. there are a lot of tabs open usually. I am NOT watching flash at that time. Nor is any specifically youtube tab open. I am trying to avoid it. I'd like to disable flash but I just changed my default browser from chrome ot firlfox in case it is chrome. | 03:22 |
| Azh | firestarter... | 03:22 |
| meowbuntu | oh first i need the cli to get back to login scteen | 03:22 |
| Gran_Ger | and type \\<your-ubuntu-host | 03:22 |
| coz_ | Syndey, mm which video card do you have? | 03:22 |
| woody_ | anyone had any experience with wireless cards on netbooks causing problems? | 03:22 |
| terry_ | qwerty1: nmap -p 22 192.168.1.0/24 | 03:22 |
| Syndey | whats the command to tell? | 03:22 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | meowbuntu, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' | 03:23 |
| Azh | damn xubuntu is dead | 03:23 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ok nvm, he confused me....the problem is that its not getting the ip from the router (set to dchp in interfaces) | 03:23 |
| Azh | i mean #xubuntu | 03:23 |
| Azh | heh | 03:23 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | its assigning a 169.x.x.x address instead | 03:23 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | that means you're not connected to the internet | 03:23 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: is the cable connected on both ends? | 03:23 |
| acicula | and into a router? | 03:23 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | yes the cable is connected lol | 03:23 |
| Azh | try setting up a xubuntu box with firestarter as a router. major pain... | 03:24 |
| qwerty1 | terry_: I try it | 03:24 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | [B]lack[D]ragoN, you should check just to make sure - most network problems is the hardware not being connected properly | 03:24 |
| woody_ | can anyone help me fix ubuntu wireless driver from giving me a kernel error? | 03:24 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | i am trying to help someone over voip btw, so yeah its a little hard for me also | 03:24 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: well 169 means the cable is connected to something i suppose, but the ip means dhcp times out | 03:24 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: correct. connected and timing out...but the question is, why. | 03:25 |
| Gran_Ger | V3RR3Z what do you see? | 03:25 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: well my guess would be cables, cables, cables in uplink instead of switch port | 03:25 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: does the network applet animate a small rotatin circle thingy if you plug unplug the cable? | 03:25 |
| Gartral | whats up with open office defaulting to the Black Knight font? numbers aren't working at all in that font? | 03:26 |
| rhineheart_m | hello... what to check if I can't connect to the net but others can (windows).. maybe a problem with dns.. thans.. | 03:26 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | well, considering there are about 6 computers in the router... an uplink to the modem is present or i wouldn't be talking to him ;) | 03:26 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: working via terminal, not gui | 03:26 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: running dhclient by hand then? | 03:26 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | correct | 03:26 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | im thinking theres an issue with the interfaces | 03:27 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: well maybe he has a switch or a modem with an ethernet uplink or something | 03:27 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | but again, over voip, i cant see it myself | 03:27 |
| acicula | well if you have an interface the driver works, though the card could be broken | 03:27 |
| acicula | my money is still on improper cable/wireing though | 03:27 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | well, i think its more likely, that its not configured properly | 03:27 |
| acicula | try assigning a static ip | 03:27 |
| StarTec | is there nothing i can do to change my 600x800 video | 03:27 |
| acicula | and ping the router ip | 03:28 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | already tried a static ip lol | 03:28 |
| acicula | no joy? | 03:28 |
| rhineheart_m | what to check if I have correct dns records? | 03:28 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: then its the cabling, have him/her yank a working system cable and put it in that port? | 03:28 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the card is showing up properly in ifconfig, and in lspci now, its just assigning the wrong ip address | 03:28 |
| terry_ | bjwebb: You can assign the IP address manually. | 03:29 |
| acicula | he said he tried that already | 03:29 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: yes, thats a static ip, and already done so | 03:29 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | he said he tried that already | 03:29 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Can you pring the router? | 03:30 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: no. | 03:30 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | he just checked the cables, they are fine | 03:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | [B]lack[D]ragoN, [B]lack[D]ragoN then you've got a bad connection to the router | 03:30 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Then you have a hardware problem. | 03:30 |

| [B]lack[D]ragoN | lights on router and nic are working | 03:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | [B]lack[D]ragoN, You've got a bad connection to router | 03:30 |
| Fishscene | What happens when you get a DHCP address? | 03:30 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN:swapthe cable with another port on the router | 03:30 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Can you ping the IP address that you assigned to the NIC? | 03:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | even if router is not connected to the internet, you can still ping the router | 03:31 |
| meowbuntu | hi what is the ubuntu default gnome install app called | 03:31 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | its assigning a 169 ip instead of a 192 | 03:31 |
| Zenker | can someone tell me the image formats that ubuntu will allow for backgrounds or where to find such information? | 03:31 |
| rhineheart_m | I can ping the router | 03:31 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | meowbuntu, that question makes no sense | 03:31 |
| Fishscene | That means it's not getting an IP address. DHCP is either disabled on the router or there is a hardware issue (such as a bad cable) | 03:31 |
| meowbuntu | gnome has been removed somehow while uninstalling other apps | 03:31 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | meowbuntu, but you can install 'ubuntu-desktop' | 03:31 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: 169.xxx ??? I thought you said you assigned a static IP to it? | 03:31 |
| magicvibes | can someone give me a little guidance, pleeeeeeze -- i have an issue with my Ubuntu 9.10 x32 -- it WILL NOT boot up after I installed gdm_2-28.tar.gz with ./configure command ---- WHAT DO I DO? | 03:31 |
| meowbuntu | ah thats it. | 03:31 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: i am trying to get it working under dhcp, not static | 03:31 |
| Fishscene | Is DHCP enabled on the router? | 03:32 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, why did you reinstall gdm? | 03:32 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah but if static does work you know its not the cabling/card | 03:32 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ah | 03:32 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | when he tries to restart the network now, it says "the interface eth0 is not configured" | 03:32 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, can you reinstall gdm using 'sudo apt-get reinstall gdm' | 03:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I think | 03:33 |
| thenetduck | hi, I need help getting my development enviroment set up, would someone be able to help me? I"m trying to do Ruby on Rails | 03:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | o_o | 03:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | let me check | 03:33 |
| FloodBot3 | ShazbotMcNasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:33 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: When you set a static IP, can you ping the router? | 03:33 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, well I was trying to change/edit my Login Screen with Login Manager and I was under the assumption (im new), after doing some reading, that i needed to install gdm to utilize the login manager -- | 03:33 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.1 | 03:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, gdm is already installed | 03:33 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: no, because there is an interface error | 03:33 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, unfortunately, im magicvibe lol and not ninja | 03:34 |
| magicvibes | ;) | 03:34 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: What error? | 03:34 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, yes do 'sudo apt-get install gdm' or 'sudo apt-get reinstall gdm' | 03:34 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | when he tries to restart the network now, it says "the interface eth0 is not configured" | 03:34 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: define "restart the network" ? | 03:34 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: mii-tool eth0 | 03:34 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, when i start the computer, it does the "mouse wait loading" symbol and goes no where... how do i get to a terminal? | 03:35 |
| Maletor | [10:32pm] Maletor: Can I just select my /dev/md0 and set that to boot [10:33pm] Maletor: [10:32pm] Maletor: Select dev/vg/root to my root partition and /dev/vg/swap to swap [10:33pm] Maletor: [10:33pm] Maletor: And install. And the kernel will be able to figure out that it needs to assemble a raid and find a lvm to startup? | 03:35 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, hit <ctrl+alt+f2> | 03:35 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: lspci |grep -i net | 03:35 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, one sec, switching KVM | 03:35 |
| acicula | terry_: the nics there and he had an eth0 that much we covered | 03:36 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: restart the networking process you mean? | 03:38 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: ethtool eth0 | 03:38 |
| acicula | woody_: what kind of wireless problem, are you on karmic and have you applied updates after installing yet ? and what kernel error | 03:38 |
| Maletor | If, from ubiquity, I install onto a LVM that's reading from a software RAID, will my computer be able to boot. As in: will the computer be able to assemble the RAID and find my root partition so it can mount it? | 03:38 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah | 03:38 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | thats what i meant :p | 03:38 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, [sudo apt-get reinstall gdm] replied E: Invalid Operation -- and [sudo apt-get install gdm] replies already installed | 03:38 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | restarting the router wouldn't effect it lol | 03:39 |
| acicula | well the service that starts NetworkManager i mean | 03:39 |
| Azh | any firestarter users here? | 03:39 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Did you try a different cable? | 03:39 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | well apparently, that process cannot be found acicula | 03:39 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: yes. | 03:39 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | same problem | 03:39 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | its an interface error | 03:39 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, i use it but ask anyways so we can all see | 03:39 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Network-manager or whatever variation thereof | 03:39 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: ethtool eth0 | 03:39 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ok so, mii-tool: eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok | 03:40 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: mii-tool eth0 | 03:40 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | i have to wait for him to type on his cell lol | 03:40 |
| Azh | outcould, i keep having to give me eth0 an ip adress for fire starter to work | 03:40 |
| magicvibes | well ShazbotMcNasty Im going to try removing the gdm and then reinstalling -- hopefully that may fix it? ... is it possible there's an issue with my xorg.conf? | 03:40 |
| Azh | but it like keeps reseting itself | 03:40 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: What happens when you do: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.91 ; ping 192.168.1.91 ? | 03:40 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, when you first install you select a nic | 03:41 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: nothing. | 03:41 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, no "./configure" is not the end of the compiling process | 03:41 |
| ryan_ | is there a way to schedule recording an internet radio station to an mp3 file? | 03:41 |
| woody_ | well when i connect to a network using the wireless, it was worse using karmic koala, im running mystic right now but still the same problem, when i download something it will drop the connection. on reconnect it will give me a kernel error | 03:41 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: The NIC must be bad. | 03:41 |
| Azh | outcold, it works most of time, but the eth0 keeps reseting the ip adress | 03:41 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, i dont have on this laptop but check settings to see if you can change | 03:41 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, you messed gdm up by failing at compiling a new gdm | 03:41 |
| enjoytheday | do we nned to entable bootable flag on /boot directory? | 03:41 |
| meowbuntu | hi i need to fix my proxy settings to remove a proxy an app left behind i cant update or install ubuntu-desktop which has been removed. i need to do this from cli. | 03:41 |
| Azh | all right, thanks outcold | 03:41 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: think its possible that he made a typo in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 03:41 |
| pepee | ciao | 03:42 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, are you using both interfaces at the same time? | 03:42 |
| Gartral | whats up with open office defaulting to the Black Knight font? numbers aren't working at all in that font? | 03:42 |
| Azh | yeah, like I said it works almost perfect | 03:42 |
| magicvibes | ShazbotMcNasty, oh... ---- what do I do to fix that? | 03:42 |
| Azh | except my eth0 keeps loosing it's static ip | 03:42 |
| meowbuntu | anyone can help me atm | 03:42 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: possible but the troubleshoot terry gave should work, if you set the ip with ifconfig eth0 and ping doesnt work its hosed, if it does work tell your friend to get someone to look at his cabling | 03:42 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: the nic is fine. it works perfectly under windows and centos. | 03:42 |
| Azh | and I have to input it every time via sudo ifconfig | 03:43 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | magic_ninja420, "sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm" | 03:43 |

| MagicVibes | ShazbotMcNasty, ok, i will give that a go | 03:43 |
| guyforget | is anyone here familiar with mythtv? i'm having trouble getting a frontend to connect to a backend on a separate computer. I can access the setting page on port 6544 through firefox, but the frontend will not connect to the backend on port 6543 | 03:43 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, why you think it's firestarter thats going dhcp? | 03:43 |
| Azh | yeah I guess is not firestarter, its something to with xubuntu | 03:44 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: If you set a static IP to your NIC and then can not ping your own NIC you must have a hardware problem. NIC must have gone bad. Did you try setting a static IP and then ping it? i.e.: sudo ifconfig eth0 172.3.2.1 ; ping 172.3.2.1 | 03:44 |
| trhuggins | I get it through the headphones fine though patg | 03:44 |
| pepee | meowbuntu, what app? | 03:44 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | k i told him to do it again with static, he may have tried under dhcp | 03:44 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | he said it pings fine | 03:45 |
| Azh | it's still pretty sweet though, i'm using the internet through my xubuntu box with firestarter | 03:45 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, maybe a setting in /etc/network/interface | 03:45 |

| === pragma_ is now known as Guest818 | ||
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: If it pings fine, then you only need to get proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:46 |
| ryan_ | My left click quits working in programs, I have to close them with keyboard, then it works again | 03:46 |
| Out_Cold | Azh, let me know how it pans out | 03:46 |
| linuxuser5152 | has anybody have the Kubuntu 10.04LTS Beta 1 partitioner get stuck at 47% when searching for partitions? | 03:46 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: restarting gives this error: SIOCADDRT: No such process | 03:46 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: pings fine to the ip set to the static adress, or pings fine to the router?\ | 03:46 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: to the static address | 03:47 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | it wont reach the router if the interface is not configured properly | 03:47 |
| woody_ | acicula: sry, im using a atom n450 netbook from gateway. its equiped with a wireless b/g. i cant get the wireless to stay connected consistently and the bluetooth cant be found at all | 03:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | linuxuser5152 install gparted | 03:47 |
| MagicVibes | ShazbotMcNasty, after I boot up in recovery mode with network I run that command in terminal... now what do i do when it's complete? | 03:47 |
| MagicVibes | ShazbotMcNasty, would i "gdm restart" ? | 03:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | no | 03:47 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: yeah that is rpetty obvious yes | 03:47 |
| enjoytheday | for the /boot directory, do we need to enable boot flag? | 03:47 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: If it pings fine, then you only need to get proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 #If you want to use dhcp | 03:47 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | MagicVibes, /etc/init.d/gdm start | 03:48 |
| linuxuser5152 | ShazbotMcNasty, i just installed regular ubuntu and installed Kubuntu-desktop. but still kinda odd. | 03:48 |

| ShazbotMcNasty | MagicVibes, "/etc/init.d/gdm start" | 03:48 |

| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: See: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 03:49 |
| woody_ | acicula: yeah, when it reconnect is actually get a kernel error occasionally | 03:49 |
| linuxuser5152 | ShazbotMcNasty, ehm. i don't get what you're saying. | 03:49 |

| Out_Cold | ** Gaming4JC | 03:54 |

| GSF1200S | if I log out, the fan goes back to normal- my cpu usage stays very low | 04:03 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Is the router also the DHCP server? If so, it is not fine if you are getting bogus IP info from the DHCP server. | 04:03 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | Gnea: considering the router doesnt use a default subnet, yes | 04:03 |
| GSF1200S | it only happens after I play a game.. weird stuff | 04:03 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: yes it is. | 04:03 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | however | 04:03 |
| Gnea | [B]lack[D]ragoN: then the problem is with the router, not the pc | 04:03 |
| acicula | [B]lack[D]ragoN: you still get a 169.* ip? | 04:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the subnet is forwarded through the isp | 04:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | acicula: 192 now. | 04:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the ip is proper, the subnet isnt | 04:04 |
| Gnea | [B]lack[D]ragoN: what CIDR are you using? | 04:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | he has no idea :D | 04:04 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | "whats a CIDR?" | 04:04 |

| Gnea | if he doesn't know what a CIDR is, then what business does he have operating a router? :) | 04:05 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the router issues the lan ips | 04:05 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the isp issues the wan ip and the subnet | 04:05 |
| MagicVibes | What is XORG.CONF ? | 04:05 |
| Gnea | ah ok | 04:05 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | the subnet is forwarded through the router | 04:05 |
| acicula | so can he ping the router | 04:05 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Sounds like you have a network configuration problem other than the machine you are working on. It is possible that you have more than one DHCP servers running on that LAN which COULD cause a problem like the one you see. | 04:05 |
| acicula | internal ip | 04:05 |

| Maletor | If I use ubiquity to install and I install onto a LVM that is looking for a RAID assembly, will my computer be able to boot (find the filesystem and mount it)? | 04:06 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | Gnea: not sure, the system isnt in front of me lol | 04:06 |
| Gnea | [B]lack[D]ragoN: are you a proxy to help someone else then? | 04:06 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: The easiest solution is to just use static IP configuration on the machine you are working on. | 04:07 |
| meowbuntu | panic panic panic | 04:07 |
| meowbuntu | anyone here able to help me | 04:07 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: what is your problem? | 04:07 |
| meowbuntu | with my proxy | 04:07 |

| terry_ | meowbuntu: Check browser settings. | 04:08 |
| meowbuntu | i cant install it again as the proxy settings manager was removed adn the default proxy has changed. | 04:08 |

| meowbuntu | its not that easy i dont hve desktop atm | 04:09 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: this prevents you from using apt how? | 04:09 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: ping av.com | 04:09 |
| meowbuntu | just cli | 04:09 |
| meowbuntu | Gnea, i cant get onto the internet | 04:09 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | heh | 04:09 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: sudo dhclient | 04:09 |
| un214 | well you have some machine on the internet | 04:09 |
| acicula | fate_t_harlaown: appearantly the define got moved for that | 04:09 |
| meowbuntu | its blocking the use of apt | 04:09 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | it was /29, not /24 | 04:09 |
| acicula | or so it seems anyway | 04:09 |
| fate_t_harlaown | hm...ah, so that's what happened... | 04:09 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ip calc <3 | 04:09 |
| meowbuntu | hols on | 04:09 |
| fate_t_harlaown | well, gonna give it another shot on compiling it again | 04:10 |
| un214 | well you can use the machine you have to downlaod the latest ubuntu alternate cd and use that as a package source | 04:10 |
| javatexan | in bash, how is a good way to check to see if a server is running...I want to say "If the server is available, do backup" | 04:10 |

| meowbuntu | what am i looking for terry | 04:11 |
| javatexan | darnit...I hate it when I don't think of the obvious way...trying to make it way too hard ;) Thanks | 04:11 |

| rixxy | I have an AMD processor that I know will support 32 bit, but I have 64 installed. How do I force a 32 bit package to install? | 04:12 |
| un214 | rixxy: I debootstraped a 32 bit enviornment | 04:12 |
| un214 | in a chroot jail | 04:12 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport | 04:12 |
| meowbuntu | hold on can i go back to live cd and reset gnome like i have done with grub without reinstalling | 04:12 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: then use apt-get | 04:12 |
| un214 | be careful when doing that you remove grub and grub2 from the inside immediately or the next do-release-upgrade will clobber your bootloader | 04:13 |
| terry_ | rixxy: dpkg | 04:13 |
| rixxy | terry: what flags need to go with it? | 04:13 |
| thenetduck | not bad | 04:13 |
| MagicVibes | ShazbotMcNasty, still around? | 04:13 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: or add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport"; | 04:13 |
| rixxy | terry: it would be sudo dpkg -? | 04:13 |
| MagicVibes | ShazbotMcNasty, how would I set my xorg.conf to 100% default? | 04:13 |
| terry_ | rixxy: none is far as I know. Just download the .deb and do dpkg -i package.deb | 04:13 |
| un214 | rm /etc/xorg.conf | 04:13 |
| MagicVibes | un214, | 04:14 |
| meowbuntu | Gnea, my proxy address needs to be reset to default null | 04:14 |
| un214 | I'm not joking. | 04:14 |
| MagicVibes | un214, that will return default? | 04:14 |
| rixxy | terry: thanks, i'll give it a try | 04:14 |
| jeeez | hi, i just installed xfce. it doesn't seem to mount my ntfs partition on its own, whats the command to do that? | 04:14 |
| meowbuntu | i dint have the address it thinks it has. hol on | 04:14 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: I'm just saying, that's where you put it to make it work | 04:14 |
| un214 | well it returned me to a working state from a non-working state | 04:14 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | ok so, having him switch to static and try to define all the stuff....hope this works | 04:14 |
| terry_ | rixxy: But if you have the 64bit version currently installed, you probably need to remove it first. | 04:15 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | he said it was giving errors the last time about him not giving enough information, or giving too much...so i dont know | 04:15 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | now its saying no such process set as static | 04:16 |
| un214 | fyi, it's a little annoying to start a statement with / | 04:16 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: If he is changing to static by editing the /etc/network/interfaces file, he will need to restart the network afterwards: /etc/init.d/networking restart | 04:16 |
| meowbuntu | what if i dont want a proxy address | 04:16 |
| jeeez | hi, i just installed xfce. it doesn't seem to mount my ntfs partition on its own, whats the command to do that? | 04:17 |
| meowbuntu | ^ Gnea | 04:17 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | terry_: if he had not done the restart, he would not have gotten an error | 04:17 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: then we are done talking | 04:17 |
| switch10_ | jeeez: sudo mount -a | 04:17 |

| jeeez | switch10_: nothing happens! :\ [i'm on xmonad] | 04:18 |
| switch10_ | jeeez: what do you have listed in /media? | 04:19 |
| meowbuntu | i know if i boot a live cd maby i can change config on hdd more easily | 04:19 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | meowbuntu: most live cds revert any changes you make once you exit :p | 04:19 |
| jeeez | switch10_: i don't get you. /media just has cdrom and cdrom0 | 04:20 |
| meowbuntu | Gnea, yes i eant the default address that was using before i install squid | 04:20 |
| rixxy | terry_: This is what I get when I run sudo dpkg -i: package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) | 04:20 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: I have no idea what that was. | 04:20 |
| switch10_ | jeeez: thats where your disk should be mounted... | 04:20 |
| meowbuntu | [B]lack[D]ragoN, no i can use live cd to access the config files on hdd cnt i | 04:20 |
| Gnea | meowbuntu: why don't you just reinstall squid? | 04:20 |
| iflema | rixxy dpkg -i --force-all 'package.deb' | 04:20 |

| [B]lack[D]ragoN | as far as linux goes, my usefulness with ubuntu is pretty crappy....i know other distros much better | 04:28 |

| etzerd | any idea? anyone | 04:33 |
| randomusr | lol | 04:33 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: What do you mean, "the wrong IP for broadcast"? | 04:33 |
| randomusr | this bites | 04:33 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | in ifconfig, the "broadcast" section is incorrect. | 04:33 |
| [B]lack[D]ragoN | im pretty sure it shouldn't be broadcasting to 82.255.255.255 | 04:33 |
| terry_ | [B]lack[D]ragoN: Yes you are right. Did you set the netmask wrong? | 04:34 |

| terry_ | gartral: Do you have a specific question we can answer for you? | 04:39 |
| gartral | terry_: the "problem" is that my mobo has two net wires coming out out of it, and ubuntu doesnt seem to understand what to do when this happens, both are assigned an ip from the router, and i want the system to balence the load across the two nics... like it does in windoze.. | 04:39 |
| terry_ | gartral: You only need to use one? | 04:40 |
| gartral | terry_: yes, true. but id'e *like* a balanced load.. it's faster and causes less lag in gaming | 04:41 |
| Syndey | STill trying to find out what video card I have. Tried some google searches. found a few pages on terminal commands. This one was interesting http://www.webupd8.org/2009/03/20-great-linux-unix-terminal-commands.html but no success. Will you please help me? | 04:41 |
| terry_ | gartral: Do you have to separate internet connections? | 04:41 |
| Maletor | If I use ubiquity to install and I install onto a LVM that is looking for a RAID assembly, will my computer be able to boot (find the filesystem and mount it)? | 04:41 |
| Syndey | There's a command for that. | 04:41 |
| Fishscene | gartral: Less lag in gaming? If anyting, it adds overhead. Unless it's a LAN game with many users. | 04:42 |
| gartral | terry_: not at all, both are plugged into the same router, which is plugged into the fiber trunk in my basement | 04:42 |

| meowbuntu | ok anyone know where i go to chang reh proxy settings. where is teh config file located. | 04:43 |
| gartral | Fishscene: when you have a internet connection faster than a single cat5e cable can transport.. the added cable does help. I enjoy a max ping to any server in the us of 17-20.. in windows.. in linux it jumps to 50-70 | 04:43 |
| gartral | (ms that is) | 04:43 |
| Fishscene | ping is not a measure of bandwidth. It's a mesure of latency. If you're piping more than 1GB to the internet for a game, something is definitely not right. | 04:44 |

| mortici | SwimmingRat, what iflema said :) | 04:45 |
| gartral | Fishscene: its not that im taking that much bandwidth, its that a single connection can only accept so many connections at any given moment, doubling up the connectins to your trunk doubles the number of connections you have | 04:45 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: i am back now bit more calm | 04:45 |
| meowbuntu | can you help | 04:46 |
| gartral | terry_: yes.. but that's where the gigabit pipe stops.. my cables are cat5e and my router only works on tx1k | 04:46 |

| gartral | switch10_: i know how to disable an interface man.. | 04:49 |
| mortici | gartral, http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/howto-setup-dual-dual-nic-bonding-on.html | 04:49 |
| gartral | switch10_: i dont WANT to disable my second interface, that's the problem | 04:49 |
| mortici | gartral, use respective ip's ofcourse | 04:50 |
| switch10_ | gartral: why did you ask how to do it then? | 04:50 |
| juancarlospaco | Fishscene: sudo /etc/init.d/servicename restart | 04:50 |
| SwimmingRat | My Ubuntu has been freezing. (now I quit using chrome and disabled almost all the addons to firefox. See if this helps) -- AMD board (hence via I think) 2600+ Ubuntu 9.10 (upgraded frm 9.04) nothing fancy. Using xchat and a browser. not even playing any discs. music on the HD. Maybe it will be fine now. [someone asked me what my video card is.]----> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01) (than | 04:50 |
| SwimmingRat | ks for telling me) | 04:50 |
| gartral | switch10_: where in gods name did i post that? i posted several times that i didnt WANT to disable it | 04:50 |
| un214 | somehow I recall that setting both interfaces to the same IP manually worked | 04:50 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: any ideas | 04:50 |
| switch10_ | i quote "my problem right now is that i have to disable a network interface on boot.. which is annoying me" | 04:51 |
| Fishscene | oh interesting. That wasn't working earlier. | 04:51 |
| juancarlospaco | 802.11ad | 04:51 |
| Fishscene | It now say's it's ignoring eth0 - which is the one I need to restart ... | 04:51 |
| switch10_ | gartral: nevermind find help elsewhere | 04:51 |
| meowbuntu | ok everyone i need to know where the config file is for my proxy setting please. | 04:51 |
| terry_ | gartral: You should not have to dissable a NIC on boot. I don't understand that. But.. this may be what you are looking for: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding | 04:51 |
| juancarlospaco | terry_: link is right | 04:52 |
| terry_ | gartral: Or: http://www.howtoforge.com/nic_bonding | 04:52 |
| mortici | gartral, the link i posted should do what you need it to do | 04:52 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Let me see... | 04:52 |
| razz2 | anyone used NXserver for remote access, I have a remote computer behind a modem and I would like to access it with out using port forwarding, Is it possible? | 04:52 |
| meowbuntu | thanks i know you are busy terry_ | 04:52 |
| greezmunkey | juancarlospaco: No luck in Guest session! | 04:53 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Can you ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 04:53 |
| juancarlospaco | greezmunkey: purge, and reinstall brasero | 04:53 |
| meowbuntu | hoe | 04:53 |
| gartral | mortici: thats a crapload of new things too install.. for an OS thats renound for "just working" this is highly unproductive.. and something that stinks more like a windows trick.. this is what im talking about.. why do we need to do all this crap to our computer for something that's becoming very commen in wide spread markets? | 04:53 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: remember i am in lice cd | 04:53 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: What is a lice cd? | 04:54 |
| gartral | scommen/common | 04:54 |
| greezmunkey | juancarlospaco: That was going to be my next question! I'll install K3B and see what happens - let you know, thanks! | 04:54 |
| mortici | gartral, you are the first person i have ever met in nearly 15 years that has bonded nics. | 04:54 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: yes i can in terminal | 04:54 |
| dwj | ........................ | 04:55 |
| dwj | ........................................................... | 04:55 |
| mortici | gartral, either way, yes extra stuff is required it is what it is, i do not do development for ubuntu :) | 04:55 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Oh, you must mean live CD. That's ok. So, you can ping 192.168.1.1 ? | 04:55 |
| meowbuntu | oh thats typonees for live cd | 04:55 |
| meowbuntu | ^ terry_ | 04:55 |
| juancarlospaco | i have bonmded nics | 04:55 |
| juancarlospaco | bonded | 04:55 |
| un214 | yeah I know and KMS killed the rock solid failsafe I was used to | 04:55 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: yes i can ping it | 04:56 |
| mortici | SwimmingRat, hold on lemme check what the command was to keep a active view of dmesg, so you can see when the system locks if your getting a kernel panic error. | 04:56 |
| suji11 | how to extract .rpm file in ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| juancarlospaco | local repo with bonded eth1/2/3 | 04:56 |
| blakkheim | suji11: alien | 04:56 |
| gartral | mortici: look at the trend in new high end mobos.. they ALL have two (or even MORE) NICs.. i never said i was going to follow through with bonding, but you gave me a wonderful start on what to point out | 04:56 |
| gottto | !alien | 04:56 |
| ubottu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 04:56 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: its ticking away in terminal as we speek | 04:56 |
| darolu | suji11, if you want to install it convert it to .deb with alien | 04:56 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: route -n #Does that return 192.168.1.1 ? | 04:56 |
| suji11 | blakkheim: i have to extract the things only, not need to install. | 04:56 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Ctrl n to stop it. | 04:56 |
| xangua | gartral: you can always download the DVD for having all the oackages aviable | 04:56 |
| mortici | SwimmingRat, when it locks do you get all three flashing lights (cap lock, num lock, scroll lock) or you tap cap lock and the light doesn't turn on or off? | 04:56 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Hold Ctrl key down and hit n to stop from pinging. | 04:57 |
| gartral | xangua: what..? where was i talking about needing packages? | 04:57 |
| MFen | is there any support for headless ubuntu one on the server? a fuse filesystem perhaps? | 04:57 |

| gartral | xangua: i pointed out that to bond multiple NICs you need alot of system editing and new programs | 04:58 |
| meowbuntu | yes | 04:58 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: it does amoung other things | 04:58 |
| suji11 | darolu: ok | 04:58 |

| SmartSsa | Serpher: updates only after you upgrade. But you should discuss the next release in #ubuntu+1 since it's not released yet. | 05:00 |

| Fishscene | if I type in a terminal "ifconfig eth0" Should I be able to see the gateway address? | 05:00 |
| Fishscene | I thought the gateway address would be listed there. But it's not and I have the interface statically configured- but I can't get online. | 05:01 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: there is a config file on my hdd that i need to change. squid changed teh proxy setting in it. after i removed squid teh setting still remains | 05:01 |
| steven_ | what emerald theme for in compiz | 05:01 |
| darolu | Fishscene, "ifconfig" alone will do it too | 05:01 |
| Fishscene | Yes. That too. But the gateway address does not show up. | 05:01 |
| juancarlospaco | settings of programs stay, you need purge | 05:02 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Do you have the drive mounted right now? | 05:02 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: in removing other apps i acdently removed ubuntu-desktop. it cant conect to apt as apt is looking for teh proxy so i cant reinstall squid to fix it see. | 05:02 |
| Fishscene | Everything was working fine until I made a static DHCP entry on my router. All of a sudden I couldn't get online, but the router is working just fine. | 05:02 |
| meowbuntu | yes i do | 05:02 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Do you have the drive mounted right now? If so, where is it mounted? | 05:02 |

| Fishscene | ok. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10. I have it set up to accept DHCP and everything seems to be working. I get an IP address from my router.. etc.. however, I can't ping my router or go anywhere online - even my router's config page. Any ideas what in the blazes is going on? Everything works fine from another machine on the network. | 05:16 |

| blue316 | i tried to run system rescue cd and RIP but both get a kernal panic can anyone help me get ubuntu back up and running? | 05:17 |
| Fishscene | yes. I can ping that address. | 05:17 |
| switch10_ | can you ping your machines external address? | 05:18 |
| Fishscene | Internet IP address? | 05:18 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: edit the file /media/c8878eb1-d227-494a-8ad4-02aba33451cf/etc/netwrok/interfaces and make it look like: http://pastebin.com/RF0SnpU1 | 05:18 |

| switch10_ | Fishscene: public IP | 05:19 |
| Fishscene | wait a sec. I wonder if there's an IP conflict going on. | 05:19 |
| Fishscene | If so, someone needs to slap linksys for me. | 05:19 |
| mortici | switch10_, can it be a problem with resolv.conf? | 05:19 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: I do not think your router will issue the same IP twice. | 05:20 |
| blue316 | juancalospaco ok but i cant run any live cd's they all get a kernal panic hold one il run ubuntu livecd again and give u the kernal panic error | 05:20 |
| Fishscene | Terry: wouldn't be the first time I've seen it happen =\ | 05:20 |
| Fishscene | Yes, I can ping 192.168.1.100 (The lan IP). Public IP is errelevant as I'm remoting into a VM. | 05:20 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: Should be easy to find out if there is an IP conflict. | 05:20 |
| Fishscene | How do I tell? | 05:20 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: ifconfig eth0 down #And go and ping the IP it had from another machine. | 05:21 |
| juancarlospaco | please can someone test if my ISP blocks my site, TYA: http://techie.homelinux.org/ <----it works? | 05:21 |
| Fishscene | Good idea. I'll check it out. | 05:21 |
| Tamnakz | I've downloaded several movies. A few only show "Use windows Media Player" for about 50 seconds, that's it. Same thing when played with a windows laptop on media player. Are these bogus files, or is there a way to view them? | 05:22 |
| mortici | Fishscene, the only other thing i can think of is an issue in the /etc/network/interfaces file | 05:22 |
| terry_ | Tamnakz: vlc | 05:22 |
| IdeAlEss | I have a logitech webcam and it shows up as /dev/video2. It works fine in cheese and similar, but skype can't use it (it does see it) and flash applications can't see it. Any ideas? | 05:22 |
| Tamnakz | terry_ this is played in vlc. . . | 05:22 |
| knoppies | Tamnakz, what file type? | 05:22 |
| Tamnakz | .avi | 05:22 |
| switch10_ | Tamnakz: those are bogus files | 05:23 |
| Tamnakz | goddamn. . . a gig of downloading for nothing. . . | 05:23 |
| Fishscene | ok. Something is goony alright. I just created a DHCP reservation for it with 192.168.1.113 | 05:23 |
| Fishscene | I brought the interface up and restarted networking and I got 192.168.1.100 | 05:23 |
| Tamnakz | well, seven and change gis. . . | 05:23 |
| switch10_ | Fishscene: can you ping other machines on your network? | 05:23 |
| knoppies | Tamnakz, Ive used "damaged" avi files in VLC, it plays the whole file, but using seek often causes it to crash. Ive never heard of anything like what you have described | 05:23 |
| Fishscene | Nope | 05:24 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: What? | 05:24 |
| blue316 | juancarlospaco: [5.034757] init[1]: segfault at 81a0804 ip 0806172f sp bffa6550 error 6 in sh[8048000+ec000] [5.034998] Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! is the error i get on live cd's do you know how to resolve this so i can fix the grub? | 05:24 |

| Fishscene | 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.50 | 05:24 |
| switch10_ | Fishscene: it must be an issue with your interface | 05:24 |
| Fishscene | sorry. 150 | 05:24 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: And so you are trying to use a static IP of 192.168.1.113 ? | 05:25 |
| Tamnakz | thanks folks! | 05:25 |
| Fishscene | yes | 05:25 |
| juancarlospaco | blue316: use the options on F6 on boot screen manu on the live cd | 05:25 |
| juancarlospaco | blue316: i hope it works | 05:25 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: YOu need to set static IP addresses OUTSIDE of the dhcp pool. | 05:25 |
| luis_ | hello | 05:26 |
| Fishscene | It actually requires that I set it inside the DHCP pool. | 05:26 |
| luis_ | is there some who wants to speak with me? | 05:26 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: You are mistaken. | 05:26 |
| Fishscene | It doesn't make sense to me either. | 05:26 |
| blue316 | juancarlospaco: which f6 option ? acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on or free software only | 05:26 |
| kermit | why do i get a new device every time i plug in my phone? i think i ran out, how do i free them? | 05:26 |
| knoppies | Fishscene, I know some routers allow you to set some IPs in a reserved list (so that it only gives that to a machine with the specified Mac address) but when trying to use it I kept getting "IP IN USE" errors. | 05:26 |
| luis_ | hello | 05:27 |
| nomadz__ | Tamnakz: are you trying to d/l movies that are current? | 05:27 |
| juancarlospaco | blue316: all of them except free soft | 05:27 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: You have apparently missunderstood the documentation. Set static IP addresses outside the dhcp pool. | 05:27 |
| luis_ | is there someone wants to talk with me? | 05:27 |
| rww | ubottu: ot | luis_ | 05:27 |
| ubottu | luis_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 05:27 |
| Tamnakz | nomadz_ this has happened with both older movies and new releases | 05:27 |
| Fishscene | Apparently linksys doesn't follow documentation. | 05:27 |
| juancarlospaco | blue316: think kinda safe mode | 05:27 |
| knoppies | terry_, Some routers do not let an IP that is outside the pool to use the Internet. | 05:27 |
| nomadz__ | Tamnakz: does it happen with any movie regardless? | 05:28 |
| blue316 | juancarlospaco: trying i hope it boots really need to go to bed lol | 05:28 |
| Fishscene | If I set it outside the scope, it spits up an error telling me it has to be within the scope. | 05:28 |
| llutz | knoppies: only broken routers won't | 05:28 |
| * iflema within | 05:28 | |
| Tamnakz | nomadz_ no, only certain ones. and it's not an error, it's a video of static text | 05:28 |
| luis_ | well i would like to change my keyboard | 05:28 |
| knoppies | Fishscene, what router model do you have? | 05:29 |
| luis_ | 9.10 | 05:29 |
| terry_ | knoppies: Then the router's configuration needs to be changed. But ..we are not talking about internet access here, we are talking about network configurations and you do not set static IPs inside of the DHCP pool. | 05:29 |
| knoppies | terry_, I know that. But I also know you can reserve IPs inside the DHCP pool. And Im wondering if its not worth a try. | 05:29 |
| greezmunkey | Question regarding Ubuntu server. Should I go for the 8.04 LTS, or 9.10. It's for a DVR, on an ASUS mb AMD phenom2. | 05:29 |
| Fishscene | Wait. There may be some confusion... I'm creating a DHCP reservation - not a static IP on the host. | 05:29 |
| srv | I installed an unstable applet on my Gnome Panel, and it left three unclickable white dots on my panel, where is the Gnome Panel config file where I can manually edit the applets? | 05:30 |
| knoppies | greezmunkey, you might want to hold out for 10.04, I think its also a LTR | 05:30 |
| terry_ | knoppies: Go ahead but you are barking up the wrong tree. | 05:30 |
| knoppies | terry_, k. | 05:30 |
| greezmunkey | knoppies: yeah, but this has to be built before the end of the week. | 05:30 |
| knoppies | Fishscene, ah, that clears up a few things. | 05:30 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: You need to tell us exactly what you are trying to do and what problem you are having. | 05:30 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: i still get this error. "could not conect to 127.0.0.1:8080 (127.0.0.1) connection failed" there must be another config file. | 05:31 |
| switch10_ | greezmunkey: 8.04 wont be supported after next month... | 05:31 |
| knoppies | greezmunkey, then I would say the newer one. As the older LTS is about to be replaced. | 05:31 |
| Fishscene | Alright guys. Yea, sorry for the confusion. My fault. At this point, I successfully knocked out my router, so I'm no longer able to continue tonight. | 05:31 |
| greezmunkey | switch10_: knoppies: Yikes, glad I asked! | 05:31 |

| Maletor | I need help installing grub onto a RAID1... I get error 21 from grub. # root (hd0,0) Selected disk does not exist. | 05:31 |
| meowbuntu | any more ideas terry_ | 05:32 |
| terry_ | Fishscene: How did you "knock out" the router? | 05:32 |
| knoppies | meowbuntu, Im using ubuntu right now, the first linux I used was knoppix, but havnt used it since 1998ish. knoppies in my native language stands for: LOTS OF LITTLE BUTTONS. sorry about being OT. | 05:32 |
| Fishscene | Made a change to DHCP and I can no longer remote in to my VM server. | 05:32 |
| knoppies | meowbuntu, I was nicknamed knoppies before I even heared of knoppix. So its not related. | 05:32 |
| zfra | Leif: at libreplanet2010 Lee Williams, Symbian Foundation, gave the talk Freeing the Smart Phone OS, so now is free to try | 05:32 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | knoppies, you don't have to worry about what meowbuntu says, he has no clue what he's talking about | 05:32 |
| rww | switch10_, knoppies, greezmunkey: 8.04 is supported until April 2011 on the desktop and April 2013 on the server... | 05:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | also, that is pretty awesome | 05:33 |
| meowbuntu | great the troll is back again | 05:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | OH YES THE TROLL | 05:33 |
| greezmunkey | switch10_: knoppies: get this, my company already ordered the hardware - including a mb that (I found) has lockup problems. I am doomed do fail. | 05:33 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | that's why you were banned | 05:33 |
| rww | meowbuntu, ShazbotMcNasty: Break it up, please. If you feel like sniping at each other, do it in PM or something. | 05:33 |

| meowbuntu | ShazbotMcNasty: i am recieving help from terry_ atm leave us alone to work out things plese | 05:34 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | meowbuntu, I already stopped | 05:34 |
| knoppies | greezmunkey, I would check the ubuntu site for the support dates, apparently its supported till next year. | 05:34 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Sorry... where were we? | 05:34 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: what the next thing i can try | 05:34 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Did it work? | 05:34 |
| meowbuntu | terry_: i still get this error. "could not conect to 127.0.0.1:8080 (127.0.0.1) connection failed" there must be another config file. | 05:35 |
| knoppies | Fishscene, Im trying to connect to your site and its been going for more than 5mins | 05:35 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: THat error means that you are pointing your browser to an internal web server that is apparently not running. | 05:35 |
| meowbuntu | i am not sure where we would go to get config files | 05:35 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: Which is just an issue with the browser or the URL you are giving it. | 05:36 |
| greezmunkey | knoppies: I found a few pointers about the mb, and I'll use software raid rather than the faker. It'll probably be ok - but it's going to cost 'em. | 05:36 |
| meowbuntu | terry the internal webserver was squid. | 05:36 |
| Fishscene | My site? | 05:36 |
| terry_ | meowbuntu: squid is not a webserver. | 05:36 |
| meowbuntu | ^ terry_ also i am not use web browsers i was trying to use apt-get to install ubuntu-desktop again | 05:36 |
| Fishscene | If you're using 192.168.x.x - it won't work. It's not an internet-routable IP address. | 05:36 |
| knoppies | Fishscene, did you not ask if http://techie.homelinux.org/ worked? | 05:37 |
| Fishscene | Nope. Must've been someone else. | 05:37 |
| meowbuntu | Fishscene: its thsi 127.0.0.1 | 05:37 |

| avash | that is the error | 05:51 |
| switch10_ | is it PCI, USB, ... | 05:52 |
| meowbuntu | one thing that faile with any linux os is that it cant reinstall like windows | 05:52 |
| avash | switch10_: pci | 05:52 |
| meowbuntu | when things go rong | 05:52 |
| terry_ | normanclegg: See that /etc/resolv.conf contains valid nameserver IP addresses. See that the /etc/hosts file looks something like what you see now. (Do cat /etc/hosts ) See that route -n returns what you see now. etc.. | 05:52 |

| normanclegg | Maletor i dont mean to be a pain, you're obviously clued, can you tell us how you got to the point of needing to reinstall grub ? more than 1 OS ? | 05:59 |
| theadmin | Aedrich: Maybe some of packages you have are dependent on a specific kernel | 05:59 |
| meowbuntu | hoe do i chank device names please | 06:00 |
| Maletor | normanclegg: I did ubiquitous installer, it said fatal, 'grub-install /dev/sda failed' that command returns can't find /boot. My drives are RAID1 /dev/md0 mnting as /boot and RAID5 /dev/md1 mounting on '/' which contains an LVM for root partition and swap. | 06:01 |
| normanclegg | blue316 sometimes you can just rearrange the ram in the slots. not often tho. | 06:01 |
| Maletor | As of now, I'm getting the alternate installer, because all the guides I'm reading normanclegg, say to use it. I don't think RAID and LVM are compiled into the kernel of a desktop install. | 06:01 |
| Aedrich | theadmin: thanks | 06:02 |
| normanclegg | Maletor alternate is for SURE the way to start out with what you describe. the livecd boot image is not. | 06:02 |
| blue316 | juancarlospaco: yea taking it apart now to clean it out make sure everything is connected and take 1 of the sticks out at a time but geesh thats a pain with all the stuff i have in it lol | 06:03 |
| nachi | i'm try to make automount for my constantly media, but i denied to edit /etc/fstab. so, what am i doing? | 06:03 |
| Maletor | But I just did, normanclegg, the apt-get install lvm2 mdadm | 06:03 |
| Maletor | ubiquitous is misleading. | 06:03 |
| juancarlospaco | blue316: may the force be with you... | 06:03 |
| normanclegg | Maletor i'm not sure after the fact, that would help. livecd install is for very simple installs | 06:04 |

| greezmunkey | digitalfiz: does Shift+Insert work? | 06:10 |
| randomusr | ***jeopardy music*** | 06:10 |
| normanclegg | picard1421 a linux release with minimal stuff plus virtualbox, ready for any other OS to load | 06:10 |
| Gnea | digitalfiz: ctrl-v only works if ctrl-c is done first, it's a different clipboard than the simple select+click method | 06:10 |
| picard1421 | virtual box is that like VMware workstations etc? | 06:11 |
| digitalfiz | greezmunkey, yes it does any way to switch it to the ctrl+v method? messing up my workflow hehe | 06:11 |
| randomusr | normanclegg: I'm on 10.04, is Grub 1.97 the default loader used? | 06:11 |
| normanclegg | randomusr I can't assure you it'll work, but i would not give up without trying the alternate install. | 06:11 |

| picard1421 | along the lines of this situation.. Want something with a good GUI and basically is a giant server.. Then people use thinclients to connect to the server... | 06:12 |
| digitalfiz | Gnea, thats not the problem the problem is it seems like ctrl+v is bound to something else in gftp | 06:12 |
| randomusr | normanclegg, it was booting fine until friday night. anyway to rescue the current system? | 06:12 |

| normanclegg | randomusr so the install DID work for sometime and then after boot after reboot after reboot it failed to reboot ? | 06:13 |

| Maletor | normanclegg: Ubuntu alternate amd64 thinks I need CD drivers. I say no, then it gives a fatal error and kicks me out of the install. | 07:25 |
| robleekip | ActionParsnip: OK, figured it out... at least partially, using synaptic package manger works | 07:25 |
| DoDi | ActionParsnip, nope :-( | 07:26 |
| normanclegg | DoDi you can ask here where you will get the best answers or if you feel frustrated you can try to pm me where you'll only get my mindless ideas. | 07:26 |
| ricko | hi | 07:26 |
| r3c0n | ActionParsnip, the other nic (integrated one) works just fine, do i dump the output somewhere for you? | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Subitaneous: then all I can suggest is disabling unneeded hardware for the duration of the install (sound, lan etc) and/or some bootoptions | 07:26 |
| ricko | im getting this | 07:26 |
| greezmunkey | Heh, didn't know you could switch with the mouse wheel :] | 07:26 |
| ricko | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 07:26 |
| ricko | freenx: Depends: freenx-vnc but it is not going to be installed | 07:26 |
| ricko | E: Broken packages | 07:26 |
| FloodBot3 | ricko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | R3c0n: use a pastebin which floodbot just gave the link to | 07:27 |
| DoDi | normanclegg, thanks, I'm not so easy to frustrate ;-) | 07:27 |
| normanclegg | Maletor can you swap out cdrom drives for anything else ? I know it sounds insane, but i want you to get thru the install | 07:27 |
| greezmunkey | DoDi, I put my pointer over the spaces at the bottom of my screen, turned the wheel, and viola! | 07:27 |
| r3c0n | ActionParsnip, try lsusb; dmesg | tail -n 20 | 07:28 |

| DoDi | greezmunkey, that doesn't work either | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Ricko: sudo apt-get install freenx-vnc ,you need to satisfy deps for applications. Sounds like you have force installed something | 07:28 |
| DoDi | I suspect some mouse(?) configuration issue | 07:28 |

| normanclegg | Maletor it should work. Except when it does not. But it shold work. What is the exact error message ? | 07:30 |
| r3c0n | whats wrong | 07:30 |
| r3c0n | maybe i can help | 07:30 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | Maletor, he's gone | 07:30 |
| th0r | ShazbotMcNasty: try http://www.getdeb.net/welcome/ for that deb | 07:31 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | th0r, getdeb tries to apt-get it | 07:31 |
| ShazbotMcNasty | I borked that somehow | 07:31 |
| Maletor | normanclegg: An installation step has failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Detect and mount CD-ROM. | 07:32 |

| Maletor | where is partition and install | 07:33 |
| surbhi1 | yes... | 07:33 |
| r3c0n | i see eth1 was created but its not showing in ifconfig.. this is odd.. the card isnt a realtek my integrated one is | 07:33 |

| mounti | windows is easy this is hard | 07:46 |

| kinja-sheep | mounti: Lies. It lists all of hard drives/removable devices. | 07:48 |
| purplegreysilver | Subitaneous, there is a post by Old_Grey (or gray)_wolf on ubuntu forums that gives the best hints. He ahs about 5 things to paste in terminal AFTER you instal Medibuntu. dont mess with gstreamer. | 07:48 |
| greezmunkey | Question regarding ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso, is this the server version, it's supposed to be - but no "server" in the name?? | 07:49 |
| purplegreysilver | Tell Subitaneous if you know better or think I am wrong. THat was the hard thing, getting started. Hard for me anyway. | 07:49 |
| rww | greezmunkey: no, that's the alternate version. the server version has "server" where yours has "alternate"... | 07:49 |
| normanclegg | Avasz if your wifi were common, it'd have been installed automatically. | 07:49 |
| mounti | kinja-sheep: well even gparted does not pick it up but teh ubuntu installer does whats up with that | 07:49 |

| ubottu | Avasz: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 07:49 |
| Avasz | so what do i do now? | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | rww: I need server, but also software raid support. Read about it and asked here - alternate was suggested. | 07:50 |
| purplegreysilver | And Subitaneous - synaptic is a failure IMHO to install things (eg xchat) use terminal and say -- sudo apt-get install xchat -- I use xchat2 -- And ubuntuforums is really good. | 07:50 |
| Kartagis | Avasz, go get ndiswrapper and use windows driver | 07:50 |
| almoxarife | Avasz: what wifi card you have? | 07:50 |
| normanclegg | Avasz does not mean it can't be made to work tho. Is this a notebook ? | 07:50 |
| Avasz | almoxarife: broadcom bcm4311 | 07:50 |
| Avasz | no its not a note book | 07:50 |
| rww | greezmunkey: the alternate CD and server CD use the same installer (and both support RAID). server uses a different kernel with various configuration changes optimized for servers, alternate uses the normal desktop kernel. | 07:51 |
| Avasz | it worked fine when i had ubuntu 9.04.. i found the driver in system-->administration-->hardware dirivers | 07:51 |
| greezmunkey | rww: dohhh, oh well - now I have both! | 07:51 |

| Avasz | what is b43-fwcutter? | 07:58 |
| pendlaren | From time to time, my left mouse button stops working. Both touchpad and external mouse. Right button works in both places. Running 9.10. Need to restart gdm to fix it. Annoying when I'm in the middle of something with lots of windows open... Have tried restarting hal and compiz. No luck. Any suggestions? | 07:58 |
| Avasz | rww: shall i install bfw-fwcutter? | 07:58 |
| normanclegg | Avasz it that does not work, come back here. | 07:58 |
| rww | almoxarife: because it only exists in Lucid and is the same as bcmwl-kernel-source except more difficult to install? | 07:58 |
| rww | Avasz: you should install bcmwl-kernel-source and b43-fwcutter | 07:58 |
| normanclegg | Avasz you should not have to use fwcutter | 07:59 |
| normanclegg | Avasz that was 2 years ago | 07:59 |
| rww | Avasz: b43-fwcutter is the firmware installer for B43 cards. | 07:59 |
| Avasz | ok.. one says install b43-fwcutter.. and one says dont install it | 07:59 |
| r3c0n | rww, could you check this paste log real quick please? im lost as to what is going on with my second nic | 07:59 |

| r3c0n | this sucks bad but i think it has to do with 32 and 64 bit? | 08:00 |

| SA_Bluego | Hello guys | 08:01 |
| willvarfar | somehow the latest auto-update on 10's beta has installed mythbuntu and that became the artwork on the startup/shutdown and also the default desktop; it completely threw me, it took a while for me to get back into my ubuntu; what's going on, why is this happening? | 08:01 |
| rww | willvarfar: Lucid support and discussion in #ubuntu+1, not here, please. | 08:01 |
| alessandro_ | hi at all | 08:01 |
| normanclegg | who's up right now ? | 08:02 |
| alessandro_ | i m alex from italy | 08:02 |
| cfedde | how are things there? | 08:02 |
| normanclegg | alessandro_ hey there | 08:02 |
| normanclegg | alessandro_ alex from italy its like 3 am there now | 08:03 |
| tvaughn | 80% for /home 20% for / sound right? | 08:03 |
| rww | normanclegg: more like 9am =\ | 08:03 |
| cfedde | tvaughn: on a single disk? why bother with the partitioning at all? | 08:04 |
| tvaughn | ease if reinstall if something goes wrong | 08:04 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn always set a /home partition | 08:04 |
| cfedde | ok. sure. then say 50-100G for boot then the rest for /home | 08:04 |
| tvaughn | /boot? | 08:04 |
| cfedde | personaly I'd rather have /home be a seperate drive/ | 08:05 |
| tvaughn | its only a 120gb disk :| | 08:05 |
| quasimodo | slip | 08:05 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn /boot is not required unless it is. | 08:05 |
| cfedde | tvaughn: I intended that to be / rather than boot. | 08:05 |
| tvaughn | I can always move it to a seperate disk :) | 08:05 |
| cfedde | ah. | 08:05 |
| rww | I use 200MB for /boot, 10GB for /, some for swap, and the rest for /home | 08:05 |
| tvaughn | I've got a 10.04 install on the other disk | 08:06 |
| tvaughn | can that be resized later? | 08:06 |
| wrapster | what pkgs provide vim and vi? | 08:06 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn /root 6 gigs /home 10 gigs | 08:06 |
| cfedde | I don't bother much with fancy partition schemes any more. | 08:06 |
| wrapster | dpkg -S /usr/bin/vi or /usr/bin/vim doesnt show me anything.. But i still see /usr/bin/vi and /usr/bin/vim | 08:07 |
| tvaughn | are you tryitng to remove them? | 08:07 |
| zetheroo | it seems to me that after a while of the system running things start getting a bit muddled up and everything takes a bit longer than before ... till it gets to the point where I just have to reboot .... :( | 08:07 |
| wrapster | tvaughn: talking to me? | 08:07 |
| tvaughn | yes | 08:07 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn 200MB for /boot, 6GB for /, 1GB for swap, and the rest for /home | 08:08 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: who reboots | 08:08 |
| wrapster | tvaughn: no .. But i was verifying something while i came across this... | 08:08 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: who? | 08:08 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: what is the reason for boot being on a seperate partition? | 08:08 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: I reboot the computer ... | 08:08 |
| Allaun | in case of failure | 08:08 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: why? | 08:08 |
| Allaun | Lets say your your linux partition completely goes fubar | 08:09 |
| r3c0n | heyyyyyy its working! | 08:09 |
| r3c0n | w00000000000000000000000h0000000000000 | 08:09 |
| Allaun | you can still boot into recovery because of your seperate partition | 08:09 |
| tvaughn | ext3? | 08:09 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn none at all in the modern desktop | 08:09 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: was that the response to /boot? | 08:10 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn but why make a big deal out of 200mb ? | 08:10 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: as I said ... things slow down ... like maximising an open PP presentation from it's minimized position or even pasting a line in here ... it's like the hdd has to constantly play catch up to something for several second before anything happens | 08:10 |
| tvaughn | im not I was simply curious :) | 08:10 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn YOU mentioned /boot | 08:10 |
| tvaughn | no actually I only asked about / and /home you mentioned boot and I curiously asked why | 08:10 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn ok. then ignore any reference to /boot I've had too much alcohol | 08:11 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: where is mine? | 08:12 |
| zetheroo | I am noticing also that once I close my 12 or so FF tabs that FF is still consuming up to 200mb of RAM ... when it should only be using about 50mb with a single tab | 08:12 |
| SA_Bluego | Sorry guys a bit off topic, any CCNA's here? | 08:12 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: try closing firefox? | 08:12 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn the beer was way too hoppy and the merlot cost me $6 per 1.5 liter. | 08:12 |
| tvaughn | was it good? | 08:13 |
| tvaughn | the merlot | 08:13 |
| bullgard | 'Passwords and Encryption Keys' > Other Keys > Validity lists 3 values: 'Full', 'Unknown', and 'Revoked'. Are there more? | 08:13 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: yeah ... not really a solution ... FF should be only taking up what it needs | 08:13 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: thought linux was past the whole rebooting thing :| | 08:13 |
| normanclegg | zetheroo what browser are you using and what is the problem ??? | 08:13 |
| tvaughn | I had someone yelling at me for not turning off my pc at night | 08:13 |
| tvaughn | in an AP computer science class :| | 08:14 |
| Someguy771 | how do I get a windows java based application working on ubuntu? | 08:14 |
| tvaughn | Someguy771: whats a windows based java application? | 08:14 |
| zetheroo | all in all I am not sold on performance in Ubuntu ... I have a powerful system with plenty of resources ... this thing should be wizzing around the corners ... but it's not | 08:14 |
| tvaughn | how can it be windows based.. | 08:14 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: yeah - ha | 08:14 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn because it spoiled the view of the bay at night ? | 08:14 |
| Someguy771 | I mean a windows application that runs on java? | 08:14 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: you use gnome? | 08:14 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: yes | 08:14 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn she may have been coming on to you. | 08:15 |
| tvaughn | is it an exe? | 08:15 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: it was a guy. | 08:15 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn i'm open to that. | 08:15 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: that may be a problem | 08:15 |
| tvaughn | gnome is somewhat sluggish | 08:15 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: no special setup or anything either ... | 08:15 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: gnome is sluggish? | 08:15 |
| zetheroo | tvaughn: first time I heard that .... | 08:15 |
| tvaughn | http://thebeezspeaks.blogspot.com/2007/07/three-reasons-not-to-use-gnome.html | 08:16 |
| knoppies | zetheroo, I agree with him. | 08:16 |
| normanclegg | its not the first time you've heard of gnome being sluggish | 08:16 |
| tvaughn | knoppies: whats your favorite? | 08:16 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: didn't linux make a comment about ubuntu being more like windows? | 08:16 |
| zetheroo | can someone have a look at my logs and tell me if things are screwed up? ... cause I don't like the look of them ... | 08:17 |
| tvaughn | linus* | 08:17 |
| knoppies | zetheroo, tvaughn I like gnome though, I can tweak it to my favourite. Even though it is a little sluggish, I learn to live with it (It doesnt help that Im on a slow machine). | 08:17 |
| tvaughn | zetheroo: I read that legs.... | 08:17 |

| normanclegg | tvaughn if you have to sleep, then sleep. | 08:19 |
| rww | speedy rww is speedy. | 08:19 |
| tvaughn | normanclegg: I meant because I said I read logs as legs | 08:19 |
| tvaughn | rww: shouldnt your name be rwx? | 08:19 |

| Kartagis | I've added the mozilla repo and gotten thunderbird 3.03. will that break when I upgrade to lucid because lucid will give me 3.01? | 08:19 |
| rww | tvaughn: I've considered changing my last name to Xylophone >.> | 08:19 |
| * tvaughn wonders if anyone picks up on measure twice cut once. | 08:19 | |
| zetheroo | I have scores of pulseaudio messages and kernel messages too | 08:20 |
| tvaughn | rww: why is that | 08:20 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn the Ubuntu framework is unbeatable. | 08:20 |
| zetheroo | something about NTSC ... | 08:20 |
| rww | Kartagis: assuming that Lucid and the PPA use the same packagename, it'd continue using the PPA because the version number there is higher. | 08:20 |
| arooni-mobile | is there a way to turn off monitors from the command line? | 08:20 |
| Kartagis | rww, good | 08:21 |
| tvaughn | arooni-mobile: unless you can get your computer to press buttons.. | 08:21 |
| freek1 | hi everyone | 08:21 |
| === |Russellalan| is now known as RussellAlan | ||
| tvaughn | im sure theres a way to put the monitor to sleep though :) | 08:21 |
| normanclegg | tvaughn but i want the very minimal install that uses the ubuntu foundation. | 08:21 |
| arooni-mobile | tvaughn, what about that power saving feature where it turns off power ot them after inactivity | 08:21 |
| zetheroo | what is this?? | 08:21 |
| zetheroo | CRON[18681]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly) | 08:21 |
| arooni-mobile | put them to sleep exactly | 08:21 |
| tvaughn | arooni-mobile: I want monitors that can be turned off by the computer, it gets hard to press those buttons sometimes heh, plus I had a monitor that its power button didnt work.. | 08:22 |
| rww | zetheroo: cron running the cron hourly script | 08:22 |
| zetheroo | rww: is that normal? ... | 08:22 |
| rww | zetheroo: yes | 08:22 |
| zetheroo | ok | 08:23 |
| tvaughn | wish I knew the command btw | 08:23 |
| tvaughn | I dont :( | 08:23 |
| zetheroo | rww: do you know what this is? kernel: [27226.706920] [drm] TV-15: set mode NTSC 480i 0 | 08:23 |
| rww | zetheroo: the kernel's DRM (direct rendering manager, not digital rights management) module detecting what's attached to your video card, I'd assume | 08:24 |
| RussellAlan | im running ubuntu 9.10 under gnome, i usually used to use kde, but it hink i grew up maybe. well, firefox seems to be eating all resources. | 08:25 |
| normanclegg | DRM (direct rendering manager - that isn't crap ? | 08:25 |
| FireCrotch | arooni-mobile: xset dpms force off would turn off the monitor | 08:25 |
| arooni-mobile | FireCrotch, how to turn it back on | 08:26 |
| zetheroo | rww: and it's normal for that to be happening every now and then i guess ... | 08:26 |
| FireCrotch | arooni-mobile: xset dpms force on | 08:26 |
| rww | normanclegg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Rendering_Manager | 08:26 |
| knoppies | RussellAlan, I think its a 3rd party flash thing. | 08:26 |
| knoppies | RussellAlan, when you say resources you mean RAM or CPU usage? | 08:26 |
| RussellAlan | cpu | 08:26 |
| arooni-mobile | FireCrotch, so if i want to do turn it back on from the comptuer itself; i couldnt (id have to be on a diff computer ot do that right? | 08:26 |
| knoppies | RussellAlan, I used to have that issue (100% CPU usage while idling) and it turned out to be a 3rd party flash plugin, I forget what its called. | 08:27 |
| arooni-mobile | FireCrotch, anyway to just put it to sleep and have mouse movements etc wake it up | 08:27 |

| zetheroo | rww: ok no worries .. thansk | 08:28 |

| knoppies | bluedog5, thats ok, we still here. | 08:50 |
| iceroot | ManDay: have a look how a package is created | 08:50 |

| bluedog5 | if i don't write back it's because im having trouble | 08:50 |

| bluedog5 | anyways i have a question about how to secure my ubuntu | 08:51 |
| ManDay | iceroot, thats what im saying | 08:51 |
| ManDay | iceroot, I want to know what ./configure parms i have to compile a source with so it ends up like the bins from the repos | 08:51 |
| iceroot | ManDay: at buildprocess debian/rules is executed, there you can do what you want | 08:51 |
| ManDay | is that what i can obtain from /debian/rules? | 08:51 |
| knoppies | bluedog5, I take similar precautions to when I used windows, but dont worry about it too much. But Im keen to see what others say. | 08:52 |
| ManDay | iceroot, do you understand me now? | 08:52 |
| iceroot | ManDay: then have a look at such a package in debian/rules and maybe debian/control (architecutr) | 08:52 |
| ManDay | can i not just copy the ./configure parameters 1-to-1 from somewhere? | 08:52 |
| bluedog5 | i did do some research before asking questions and i did learn you still need to secure ubuntu brb | 08:52 |
| knoppies | bluedog5, of course you do. In my opinion the most secure machine, is the one that never gets turned on. | 08:53 |
| bluedog5 | lol yea or never connects to the intertnet | 08:54 |
| ManDay | iceroot, is that not possible? | 08:55 |
| bluedog5 | anyways i'm sure someone has came up with a liveCD that is focused on keeping you private? | 08:55 |
| tvaughn | knoppies: try unplugging the cat5 it does wonders | 08:56 |
| knoppies | tvaughn, agreed, but whats the fun in that? | 08:56 |
| tvaughn | knoppies: wheres the fun in never turning it on | 08:56 |
| tvaughn | bluedog5: that'd be backtrack iirc | 08:57 |
| rocket16 | Hello, can we integrate GNotes with Evolution? Like KJots in Kontact? | 08:57 |
| knoppies | tvaughn, I was using exaggeration to imply that there is always a risk, no matter how hard you try. | 08:57 |
| rocket16 | I truly think it to be a nice idea, but could not figure it out, | 08:57 |
| bluedog5 | what was that tva? | 08:57 |
| tvaughn | knoppies: I know and im teasing you abou tit | 08:57 |

| rocket16 | Friends, any solution? | 08:58 |
| knoppies | bluedog5, you will learn that the <tab> key auto completes things for you. In the terminal it can do folder/file names, commands, in IRC it does other peoples names (so long as they are in the channel). | 08:58 |
| sjorsr | anyways, anyone who can help me out with a probably simple gconf issue? | 08:58 |

| sjorsr | the problem is as follows: i am working with tablet pc's and am using an onscreen keyboard application that stores its position in gconf. now, if the user rotates the screen the keyboard is in the wrong place. no problem, i can update the location in gconf, and when i do so in gconf-editor the changes are applied straightway | 08:58 |
| ManDay | How can I download a package without installing it, so I can check out debian/rules? | 08:59 |
| sjorsr | however, if i do so through gconftool-2 (which would be preffered to automate the process) the value seems to get updated but the changes are not applied. | 08:59 |
| sjorsr | gconftool-2 --set /apps/florence/window/xpos --type=int 100 is the command i'm using, but there seems to be something going wrong. | 08:59 |
| rocket16 | sjorsr: Oh, sorry, :( But I am not familiar with Tablet PC in Linux | 08:59 |
| sjorsr | it's not just the value, any random setting (like window decoration, transparency, simple booleans don't seem to get applied with gconftool-2 straightaway | 08:59 |
| sjorsr | ah it's not so much to do with the tablet itself, the problem lies in gconftool-2 here. | 09:00 |

| Avash | i failed to install wifi driver for my bcm4311 | 09:32 |
| === Blue-Omega_ is now known as Blue-Omega | ||
| Draggin | I have a debilitating problem... I've upgraded to Karmic recently, but I have this intermittent problem where my screen resolution resets itself to 800x600. Nothing I do gets it back to normal (which is 1280*1024), but last time, after a while and a reboot, it magically fixed itself. Yesterday it was working fine, and this morning, as I switched it on, it defaulted back to 800x600 again. I can't work on this resolution - any ideas? I don't know what to Goog | 09:34 |
| Sacid | hi | 09:35 |
| gottto | Draggin: have you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what's up? | 09:35 |
| Sacid | does anyone know if it is possible to tell freenx to _not_ start a new session but use the already running, local x11 session, like vnc actually, just with the nx protocol? | 09:36 |
| Draggin | gottto - it moans about vrefresh and hsync being out of range, but I don't understand why it happens. Nothing changes on the system, then suddenly, it has a different resolution. Also dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does absolutely nothing | 09:37 |
| gottto | Draggin: try Xorg -configure | 09:37 |
| gottto | Draggin: or google your monitor and the right rates to xorg.conf | 09:38 |
| Draggin | gottto - I've used that as well, also didn't change anything | 09:38 |
| Draggin | It just eventually came right on its own | 09:38 |
| gottto | *add | 09:38 |
| Leela | hi there | 09:38 |
| Draggin | gottto - I understand how I could normally go about configuring a monitor, my problem is that even though it has been configured, it resets itself somehow and I don't know why and no normal xorg steps fixes the problem... | 09:39 |
| Leela | I try to install a game using wine. i get shown i have 2MB free diskspace which is not enough for the game, while in rl i have 62GB free... any idea what I can do? | 09:39 |
| Sacid | i'm pretty much actually looking for a good and fast solution for accessing my local desktop from remote, i figured vnc is too slow, to crappy a quality and just lags way too much. rdp...well, there isn't really any good rdp service except for xrdp which is just a pain in the ass to configure without documentation provided from the project itself and as far as i know i'd have to restart the x-session anyways, which is not what i want... | 09:40 |
| gottto | Draggin: time to consider the hardware - graphics card overheating, monitor playing up etc | 09:40 |
| Draggin | gottto - It's onboard graphics though, so I hope that's not the case... | 09:41 |
| gottto | :( | 09:41 |
| ArtistXuser | i plugged in a usb flash drive. How do i tell what port name it's using? | 09:43 |

| indus | its-me-again, ubuntu-desktop is not a real package, it just pulls the other packages required | 09:49 |
| indus | Paddy_NI, whats keryx | 09:50 |
| royrussell | Subitaneous of firstly, check in synaptic if you have the multiverse and universe repositors enabled then refresh the apt data, then see if it comes p in a search in synaptic. | 09:50 |
| Paddy_NI | indus: A wonderful app that should be bundled with ubuntu by default | 09:50 |

| pookey | hi all - what's happened to xorg.conf? it's no longer in /etc/X11, so I'm wondering where the config is stored. X is only detecting one of my graphics cards, so I want to know the 'correct' way to rectify this, I know if I put an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and it will work, but is that correct? | 11:31 |
| Guest24580 | gotto Ive done a heap of googling with little joy | 11:31 |
| Guest24580 | it works fine in mythtv.... tv anyway | 11:31 |
| gottto | pookey: default is to autodetect the graphi - but an xorg.conf will work if you have onecs | 11:32 |
| Guest24580 | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VisionPlus_DVB-T_%28Twinhan_clone%29 | 11:32 |
| Guest24580 | but it not say there either | 11:32 |
| burkey | Anyone using gnome-gmail in ubuntu http://gnome-gmail.sourceforge.net/ | 11:32 |
| gottto | Guest24580: www.google.com/linux then your card | 11:32 |
| pookey | gottto: thanks - so there's nothing wrong with me writing my own config in /etc/X11? is there any way to get the config that's currently been auto-detected written out there? | 11:32 |
| pookey | or should I just X -configure ? | 11:33 |
| gottto | pookey: Xorg -configure - it ends up in / apparently | 11:33 |
| pookey | gottto: I think it ends up in the pwd | 11:33 |

| Avasz | erUSUL: wait.. i have a couple of questions | 12:45 |
| Lint01 | what is the best firewall/ICS application in Ubuntu? | 12:45 |
| Avasz | erUSUL: how do i enable su ? | 12:45 |
| kristof78 | log in like you would login to mysql | 12:45 |
| visof | i have installed freebsd at /dev/sda1, what should i add to can boot both ubuntu and freebsd ?? | 12:46 |
| tsyj2007 | Ichat: which you want to modify? | 12:46 |
| iceroot | Lint01: iptables | 12:46 |
| kristof78 | anyone what card should I buy? | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | Avasz: in ubuntu we use sudo; there is no root user | 12:46 |
| visof | add to grub2 | 12:46 |
| erUSUL | !rootshell | Avasz | 12:46 |
| ubottu | Avasz: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) | 12:46 |
| Lint01 | iptables is not an application | 12:46 |
| Lint01 | it's backend at best | 12:46 |
| iceroot | Lint01: you asked for the best firewall | 12:46 |
| Ichat | tsyj2007: - this would meen that if i grand the exact same user permissions as /samba/shares has that ebox will be able to read it than id have to add rwx permssions for what ever user transmission-daemon is running on right>??? | 12:46 |
| Avasz | erUSUL: and i cant restart my x .. is it due to mistake in keybindings? isnt ctra+alt+backspace made from default? | 12:47 |
| iceroot | Lint01: but maybe you want "ufw" (ubuntu firewall) | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Avasz: thats been disabled for the last 2 or 3 releases. | 12:47 |
| abhi_nav | is there any linux game related channel? | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !dontzap | 12:47 |
| Lint01 | maybe I was not clear, Firewal|ICS _configuration_ application, GUI of course | 12:47 |
| ubottu | To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap | 12:47 |
| abhi_nav | or not only linux but cross platform also | 12:47 |
| Avasz | oh.. oh.. i see | 12:47 |
| animanegra | hello | 12:48 |
| Lint01 | !ufw | 12:48 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 12:48 |

| visof | is there anyone can help me ? | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | feedmecereal: you could always boot a live cd and fsck them manually | 13:07 |
| feedmecereal | Dr_Willis: Thanks, I'll try that. | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | visof: try moveing the # from 10 to somthing higher so its at the end perhaps. | 13:07 |
| gottto | feedmecereal: ubuntu automatically runs fsck every 30 boots or so - why do you need to run it? | 13:07 |
| indus | visof, command is sudo update-grub | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | You can tune the # btween fscks also | 13:08 |

| visof | indus http://pastie.org/895080 | 13:23 |
| knallgalf | is there a solution coming up for the sleep bug in ubuntu 9.1? | 13:23 |
| Guest15949 | sleep bug? | 13:24 |
| Guest15949 | my pc sleeps.... and wakes | 13:24 |
| knallgalf | on some machines the display did not turn on again after the system goes to S2/S3 | 13:24 |
| Guest15949 | sleep and wake is dependant upon hardware | 13:24 |
| Guest15949 | not every pc will sleep and wake | 13:24 |
| knallgalf | true but only partly as it was working fine with 9.04 and with other linux systems as well as Windows | 13:25 |
| Guest15949 | some of mine do and some dont | 13:25 |
| indus | visof, dont know about freebsd menus | 13:25 |
| Guest15949 | then use 9.04 | 13:25 |
| jae | Could anyone tell me how I *do* create a regexp map for postfix' smtp_generic_map? | 13:26 |
| indus | visof, no idea what to do | 13:26 |
| Guest15949 | is easiest solution | 13:26 |
| kinja-sheep | knallgalf: Exercise your fingers to turn the monitor off. That's what I usually do (although the sleep/suspend works fine on my machines). | 13:26 |
| indus | visof, there is a software called os-prober that works great | 13:26 |
| knallgalf | but not in long run ;) | 13:26 |
| visof | indus thanks anyway | 13:26 |
| indus | visof, try that apt-get install os-prober | 13:26 |
| visof | indus ok | 13:26 |
| visof | indus i'll try it | 13:26 |
| knallgalf | kinja ^ ^ perfect advice but on a Laptop that's hard | 13:26 |
| jae | postconf -m tells me it supports regexp, but postmap regexp:/etc/postfix/themap gives an error | 13:26 |
| jae | Installed postfix-pcre, try pcre:, and I get "doesn't support map creation" | 13:27 |
| Bamboozle | I'm on my laptop and have one network attached to my ethernet port, and the other to my wireless. is there any way to have my laptop be the gateway to the internet from the ethernet port to the wireless (the wireless is connected to the internet, the ethernet is not) | 13:27 |
| erUSUL | !ics | Bamboozle | 13:28 |
| ubottu | Bamboozle: If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php | 13:28 |
| jae | Not "pcre does not allow map creation" | 13:28 |
| Bamboozle | erUSUL: so it's just internet connection sharing | 13:28 |
| erUSUL | Bamboozle: yes | 13:28 |
| nibbler | Bamboozle: just having other clients connect to your wirelessis more complicated, if inet is on wifi its easy | 13:29 |
| DarsVaeda | hi i want to be able to connect to a machine via ssh with publickey, what file do i have to edit again to allow this and not only per passwort entry? | 13:29 |
| jae | DarsVaeda: you have to add the public key from the client machine to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server | 13:30 |
| jae | Usually, I just do "ssh-copy-id", and I'm done... | 13:30 |
| DarsVaeda | there is a option somewhere to enable publickey authentification and disable the password one | 13:31 |
| DarsVaeda | cause i can login with password but the key is not accepted even thou copied the right way | 13:32 |
| tobi_ | can someone help me get rid of overscan in 1920x1080 resolution ? | 13:32 |
| Bamboozle | erUSUL: this is not what I want, they're two seperate networks with their own subnets | 13:32 |
| tobi_ | and to get it to work and not fall back to 1680x1050 | 13:32 |
| jae | Yes, that'd be in /etc/ssh/sshd_config... | 13:32 |
| tobi_ | after every boot | 13:32 |
| DarsVaeda | ahh thanks! | 13:32 |
| jae | DarsVaeda: and you can run ssh (the client) with -v (or multiple -v s) for debugging | 13:33 |
| Bamboozle | erUSUL one uses 10.x.x.x, the other 192.168.x.x | 13:33 |
| erUSUL | Bamboozle: the ics how to should work in your situation | 13:33 |
| DarsVaeda | jae: cool thanks! | 13:34 |
| jsjc | I am having some issues with a PCI card sharing IRQ with a usb port is there any way I could assign a IRQ manually to it without BIOS because my bios does no have the option of it. | 13:34 |

| suunto | hello, i have a server in my office running websites. i can only reach it via ssh. and i need to reach these sites, so i tried doing ssh -L 3128:localhost:3128 username@host and then adding localhost:3128 as a proxy in my browser, but i still cant reach the sites, is there anything else i can try? | 13:36 |
| toogreen | hi there, upgrading to lucid now, just a question... when asked if i want to replace grub with the new version, should i say yes or no? | 13:38 |
| toogreen | just wondering how risky that is | 13:38 |
| schurro | toogreen: #ubuntu+1 | 13:39 |
| jiohdi | toogreen, if you like the ease of grub1 dont change to grub2 | 13:39 |
| jiohdi | if you dont care, then grub 2 is great | 13:39 |
| toogreen | k thanks... was just wondering if it was risky or not.. I think im already running grub 2 tho, but it still asks if u want to replace with the maintainer version or not | 13:40 |
| toogreen | or maybe this is just about the config file? | 13:40 |
| jiohdi | didnt know there was something new :) | 13:40 |

| indus | schlaftier, what is discontinued? its works fine | 14:19 |

| ardchoille | Stavros: use sudo with mount? | 14:29 |
| knallgalf | @ stavros what about giving proper details? | 14:29 |
| gottto | Stavros: are you using sudo ? | 14:29 |
| Stavros | without using sudo | 14:29 |
| Stavros | knallgalf: how about asking for them? | 14:29 |
| Stavros | i've added myself to the disk group but it still needs me to type the pw | 14:29 |
| guntbert | lord_arctic: thats an idea: download the daily live CD, and try it "without installing" - so you see what will work for you - support for that in #ubuntu+1 | 14:29 |
| knallgalf | @stavros my car is broken is very good to determine the broken tire | 14:29 |
| ardchoille | Stavros: yes, because only root can mount | 14:30 |
| Stavros | ardchoille: can't i give myself that permission somehow? | 14:30 |
| KaOSoFt | Just a general question: Like a moment ago, you told me "history -c" would delete the history log, but then, how did you know? I did not find the description of "-c" in the manual ("man history"). I've been always curious, because there are many applications where I don't know what the command-line options are for. Not all of them describe them. | 14:30 |
| ardchoille | Stavros: Sure, with sudo | 14:30 |
| gottto | Stavros: you need tobe in the sudoers file for that to happen - see man visudo | 14:30 |
| ardchoille | That's the proper way | 14:30 |
| lord_arctic | changing channles to #ubuntu+1 | 14:30 |
| Stavros | gottto: i can do it with sudo, but i don't want to have to type my password every time | 14:30 |
| Stavros | so i'm asking if there's a permission i can grant me | 14:30 |
| shan | hi! could some tell me which channel I should be in to get help with my video capture card on ubuntu 9.10? | 14:31 |
| gottto | Stavros: man visudo willtell you how not to have to enter the password iirc' | 14:31 |
| Stavros | gottto: i don't want to disable the sudo password, i want it not to require privilege elevation to mount a disk | 14:31 |
| Tjollies | I have loaded 9.10 next to Win XP....when I choose Ubuntu on startup - it then loads, but I then get a normal black screen where I need to tyype in my username and password | 14:31 |
| guntbert | Stavros: is it always the same disk? | 14:32 |
| ardchoille | Stavros: It's a security [recaution, you'll have to do one or the other | 14:32 |
| gottto | Stavros: you just set it up for mount and unmount commands | 14:32 |
| Tjollies | Why do I not get the Ubuntu desktop screen? | 14:32 |
| Stavros | guntbert: yes, i can add an fstab entry, but i'd rather not have it mounted every time | 14:32 |
| Stavros | ardchoille: i'm pretty sure there's a permission i can give me, like using FUSE | 14:32 |
| guntbert | Stavros: use fstab but with "noauto" | 14:32 |
| Stavros | guntbert: oh hmm, can i set it so only i can mount the disk then? | 14:32 |
| Stavros | or users in a specified group | 14:33 |
| Oins | Hi, I have a Wacom Bamboo Tablett. Ubuntu found the device, but if i move the pen, the mouscursor still stands. | 14:33 |
| Tjollies | I have loaded 9.10 next to Win XP....when I choose Ubuntu on startup - it then loads, but I then get a normal black screen where I need to tyype in my username and password. Why do I not get the Ubuntu desktop screen? | 14:33 |
| guntbert | Stavros: the "user" option switches off the requirement to be root - if you don't want that ... ?? | 14:33 |
| Stavros | guntbert: i want only my user to have permission to mount it, not everyone | 14:34 |
| gottto | !visudo | 14:34 |
| Stavros | okay | 14:35 |
| Stavros | it's not either root or everyone | 14:35 |
| Stavros | i want MY USER to be able to mount it | 14:35 |
| Stavros | not everyone | 14:35 |
| Stavros | and not just root | 14:35 |
| Stavros | like accessing files, it's not either root or everyone | 14:35 |
| Stavros | you can give users and groups permissions to them | 14:35 |
| guntbert | Stavros: then keep to sudo - you "can" edit the suoers file so that just one command from you is possible without password | 14:35 |
| guntbert | !enter | Stavros | 14:35 |
| ubottu | Stavros: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:35 |
| Stavros | guntbert: this is with the gnome mounter, though, will it still work? | 14:36 |
| guntbert | Stavros: why don't you try? | 14:36 |
| gottto | Stavros: you aren't on the right track - it isn't like a file it is a command - you need an entry for your user in the sudoers file for that command | 14:36 |
| ratatata | Hi | 14:37 |
| lord_arctic | Oxy is back...LOL | 14:37 |
| ratatata | anybody work on ubuntu lucid ? | 14:37 |
| guntbert | !lucid | ratatata | 14:37 |
| ubottu | ratatata: 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 | 14:37 |
| Stavros | gottto: is it because i don't have permission to run the command, though, or because i don't have permission to access the device? | 14:38 |
| guntbert | lord_arctic: you can be in many channels at once - many of us are | 14:38 |
| gottto | Stavros: it is because mount needs root privileges | 14:38 |
| FreezingTuesday | Hey everyone. I need some help with my sound card. I'm trying to install realtek drivers and the instructions say "Step 2. Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)" -- I have no idea how to do this and my searches turned up fruitless. | 14:38 |
| lord_arctic | guntbert I know...just picking on Him/Her... | 14:38 |
| guntbert | lord_arctic: please don't - chatter goes to #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:39 |
| MaaRtaa | ola!! | 14:39 |
| Stavros | gottto: hmm | 14:39 |
| Stavros | gottto: how can i make mount not ask for a password in visudo? the manual doesn't mention anything | 14:39 |
| gottto | Stavros: linux basics in play | 14:39 |
| gottto | Stavros: I'll find a howto | 14:40 |
| shan | how can i get my video capture card to work in ubuntu 9.10? | 14:40 |
| erUSUL | Stavros: man sudoers | 14:40 |
| Stavros | sec, found one | 14:40 |
| zim | Hi all am looking to play with the new 10.04 but have a version Q. will the 64bit version work on intel? ubuntu-10.04-beta1-server-amd64.iso or is the amd64 a clue? :) | 14:40 |
| ratatata | guntbert, gtkdialog is missing in lucid, where i can report this missing ? | 14:40 |
| shan | it is avermedia card | 14:40 |
| MaaRtaa | ola!!!! | 14:40 |
| MaaRtaa | q tal??? | 14:40 |

| abhi_nav | raj-darkmystery, :) | 14:41 |
| Stavros | i added "stavros ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/mount", but it still needs privileges | 14:41 |
| Stavros | oh i need to do sudo mount | 14:41 |
| Stavros | yeah that worked, let me try the gnome mounter | 14:41 |
| Stavros | nope, still needs the password | 14:42 |
| guntbert | Stavros: PLEASE don't press <enter> so often!! | 14:42 |
| FreezingTuesday | ...a 'lil help por favor? :) | 14:43 |
| Stavros | but then i have to wait for more messages to accumulate! | 14:43 |
| Stavros | apparently it's a bug, #465054 | 14:43 |
| terry_ | Stavros: Be advised that in order for changes to group or sudo configurations to take effect one needs to log out and back in | 14:44 |
| Stavros | terry_: thanks, but sudo mount works without a password while the mounter doesn't. regardless, that page lists a policykit fix, but i have to reboot to try it. | 14:44 |

| FreezingTuesday | "FreezingTuesday: So I guess I should state my question specifically: How do I "Turn on sound support (soundcore module, default turn on)"?" | 14:46 |
| terry_ | Stavros: Do you have a proper entry in fstab (which includes user rather than owner)? | 14:46 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: apologies - you need to add the module to /etc/modules | 14:47 |
| Stavros | terry_: no, they're autodetected | 14:47 |
| Brendan_Mcc | Hey all, Installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 and want to set it up so a windows machine can VPN to the ubuntu machine to access the local network... where do I need to start? Google didn't seem to help! | 14:47 |
| Stavros | terry_: i don't want to automount them for all users, for security | 14:47 |
| terry_ | Stavros: I am not talking about detecting the filesystem. I'm talking about allowing users to mount. | 14:47 |
| Stavros | terry_: they aren't in the fstab at all | 14:47 |
| genii | Brendan_Mcc: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/index.html is usually a good place to start | 14:48 |
| ravibn | Stavros: guntbert: finally it stopped thanks for both of you | 14:49 |
| guntbert | ravibn: fine :) | 14:49 |
| gottto | Brendan_Mcc: you could try in #ubuntu-server if noone here answers | 14:49 |
| Brendan_Mcc | genii: much appreciated, will take a read now | 14:49 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: No problem. I realize it gets noisy in here :) So I've opened up /etc/modules (w/ sudo) ...now what? just add "soundcore module, default turn on" to a new line? | 14:49 |
| Brendan_Mcc | gottoo: cheers | 14:49 |
| terry_ | Stavros: Well, if you want user to be able to mount without password, you'll need a fstab entry for it. | 14:49 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: or just "soundcore"? | 14:49 |
| terry_ | Stavros: What type of device are you mounting? | 14:49 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: you need the correct name of the module to load at boot | 14:50 |
| Stavros | terry_: a hard disk | 14:50 |
| Stavros | i can make polkit not ask for a password by adding a policy directive in a file | 14:50 |
| terry_ | Stavros: Do you want it to be mounted all the time? | 14:50 |
| Stavros | i need to reboot to check it | 14:50 |
| Stavros | terry_: no | 14:50 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: if soundcore is it then enter soundcore on a line of its' own | 14:50 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: Thanks :) I'll try that out. | 14:51 |

| xangua | ravibn: use OO from oficial repositories ;) | 14:52 |

| Stavros | terry_: that should work, but it's a polkit issue. in jaunty you didn't have to enter your password if you were an admin, i'll try and see if that works and use the fstab entry if not, thank you. | 14:53 |
| ravibn | xangua : where is the official repositries ? | 14:53 |

| Stavros | ali7861: go into sound settings | 14:56 |
| myrl | thanks | 14:56 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: By the way, the instructions i referred to last time actually says "Step 2. Turn on sound support from kernel config (soundcore module, default turn on)" -- Just want to verify with you that I did the correct thing by adding "soundcore" to the /etc/modules file. Ya? | 14:56 |
| ali7861 | than' | 14:56 |
| ali7861 | i did'nt add nay thing | 14:57 |

| gottto | FreezingTuesday: the kernel config part | 14:57 |
| terry_ | ravibn: Do you want 32bit or 64bit version of OpenOffice? | 14:58 |
| xangua | ravibn: sudo apt-get install open-office ; but that will install #all openoffice programs | 14:58 |
| jhirley | hey folks, I am looking to have my local proxie server cache ubuntu updates, where can I find the list of the domains to add to my proxie rules ? | 14:58 |

| terry_ | ravibn: Do you have a version of it installed now? | 14:59 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: I'm new to your prob - lets start at the begginning - what's the hardware? | 14:59 |
| ali7861 | ANY BODY WHO CAN HELP | 14:59 |
| gottto | ali7861: does the soundcard show in lspci ? | 14:59 |
| xangua | upss the name of the package is not open-office; it's openoffice.org | 14:59 |

| anupamgorthi_ | hi | 15:02 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: I'm on a fresh install and the sound keeps clicking and sometimes just stops working (incorrect voltage/wattage or something?). The "Sysinfo" application says the audio controller is nVidia MCP51 High Def Audio, but my computer came with Realtek drivers (Windows XP) before I installed ubuntu | 15:03 |
| ravibn | Hi! anupamgorthi | 15:03 |
| bassliner | so where's "dvdrecord" available in any repository / package? | 15:03 |
| Brendan_Mcc | hey all, new to linux and Ubuntu. I have Ubuntu 9.10 Server installed and want a windows machine to be able to connect to my VPN server being Ubuntu, to be able to access the local network. I tried to follow the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html but got lost at step 3 of the code where it says to VI the vars file... is there a gui vpn server i can download or do i need to do it at the command pro | 15:03 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: soundcore should be enabled in an ubuntu kernel - to check lsmod | grep snd | 15:03 |
| bassliner | on some other distros it's available in "cdrecord" but i searched in ubuntu 9.10 without any results | 15:04 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: fyi, I'm googling nVidia MCP51 High Def Audio right now -- okay i'll try that | 15:04 |
| ravibn | terry_ : any idea to fix this X error ? | 15:04 |
| Stavros | terry_: as i suspected, it was a policykit issue. adding those two lines allows me to mount without a password | 15:05 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: http://pastebin.org/128613 (not sure how to read this. | 15:05 |

| gottto | FreezingTuesday: that driver asks for an intel hd entry - not nvidia | 15:07 |
| guntbert | !repeat | Brendan_Mcc | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Brendan_Mcc: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 15:07 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: and you have the intel hd sound module loaded | 15:08 |
| ravibn | terry_ : I will try that but the problem is related to X | 15:08 |
| FreezingTuesday | gottto: i'm not sure what that means... | 15:08 |

| FreezingTuesday | gottto: I mean, I know what it means, but I don't know what it means that I need to do or not do... | 15:08 |
| terry_ | ravibn: Oh... well, maybe we should test more | 15:08 |
| Brendan_Mcc | guntbert: asking there now | 15:08 |
| terry_ | ravibn: run openoffice from terminal and see what all it says: soffice -writer | 15:09 |
| gottto | FreezingTuesday: does the nvidia sound card need the intel driver? - is where I'm at | 15:09 |
| craigmatlock | i heard it did | 15:09 |
| ravibn | terry_ : I will try that url u gave me and remove the older once thanks for your help | 15:09 |

| terry_ | myrl: Yes. It's always a good idea to do a backup of your /home. But as long as the connection stays up and the power stays on, it's a pretty safe operation. | 15:16 |
| myrl | thanks | 15:16 |
| youthful | hi | 15:16 |

| ertugrul | i am in trouble with network manager | 15:27 |
| ertugrul | it always asks me wireless pass | 15:28 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: What is the problem? | 15:28 |
| ertugrul | but i want to do it default setting | 15:28 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: Sounds like the wifi router uses encryption. | 15:28 |
| ertugrul | yep | 15:29 |
| ertugrul | i enter all the system starting | 15:29 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: You could just trun off the encryption. | 15:29 |
| ertugrul | oh it is impossible | 15:29 |
| ertugrul | i have to use wpa crypted pass on my city | 15:30 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: Then you will need information to set up the client authentication. | 15:30 |
| ertugrul | it is legal responsiblty | 15:30 |
| ertugrul | how can i fix terry? | 15:30 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: Really? legal responsibility? Where? | 15:30 |
| ertugrul | turkey | 15:31 |
| ertugrul | istanbul | 15:31 |

| acicula | does it establish a connection if you enter the password? | 15:36 |

| guntbert | ertugrul: usually the network password is stored in the gnome-keyring - and then gnome-keyring would ask you for a password - which you could disable | 15:38 |
| ertugrul | where is it guntbert? | 15:38 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: I think guntbert has the solution and I think it should be something like: | 15:39 |
| terry_ | ertugrul: System --> Preferences --> Encryption and Keyrings | 15:39 |
| ertugrul | i did try terry | 15:39 |
| ertugrul | i didnt work | 15:39 |

| Zenker | ok all those lines in the grub menu are driving me crazy, i want to get rid of all the ones i dont need, unfortunatly i have no idea what im doing, i tried reading up on it, but i dont seem 2 find a menu.lst... i did find one and it says its for example r smthin rolf. | 16:05 |
| lazarus | overmind, i'm looking to make some bash script to automatically resize panels to a size more suited for my netbook (19) would you be able to assist me? | 16:05 |
| Zenker | so what do i do. ? | 16:05 |
| guntbert | Zenker: maybe you system has grub2? | 16:06 |
| guntbert | !grub2 | Zenker | 16:06 |
| ubottu | Zenker: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager in Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 16:06 |
| Zenker | gunbert yes i have grub 2 | 16:06 |
| overmind | lazarus: No idea of scripting with bash, sorry | 16:06 |
| lazarus | overmind, no worries | 16:07 |
| guntbert | Zenker: then there is no menu.lst any more - please read the links from ubottu | 16:07 |
| Zenker | that was one of the pages i did read, but i cannot make heads or tails out of it. here is the cfg would u mind taking a look at it? http://www.pasteall.org/12072/text | 16:07 |
| lazarus | Zenker, what are you trying to do with grub2 | 16:08 |
| fine_line | quit | 16:08 |
| Zenker | i want to get rid of all the extra lines that show up when i start up my system, theres almost a whole page of stuff. i want it to be just the ubuntu / recovery line and the windows line | 16:09 |
| guntbert | Zenker: don't edit that file - you work will get overwritten with the next update - instead edit the files mentioned in the top | 16:09 |
| guntbert | Zenker: ah - you are talking about old kernels? just remove them with your favourite package manger | 16:10 |
| Zenker | no way its that simple? | 16:10 |
| guntbert | Zenker: only make sure to keep one older (just in case..) | 16:11 |
| guntbert | Zenker: yes - that simple :) | 16:11 |
| flotopoco | what is the best game for linux? | 16:11 |
| Zenker | awsome thatnk you gunbert | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | Zenker, look for linux-image in your package manager | 16:12 |
| lazarus | Zenker, sudo update-grub | 16:12 |
| BluesKaj | !best | flotopoco | 16:13 |
| ubottu | flotopoco: 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. | 16:13 |
| Zenker | how do i know which one 2 keep? i have several generic and one thats rt, the rt one showed up after i installed ubuntustudio? | 16:13 |
| === RedXIII`Alt is now known as RedXIII | ||
| toogreen | Zenker, rt stands for Real-Time kernel... Ubuntu Studio needs a real-time kernel to work | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | the highest numbered kernels are the newest, Zenker | 16:13 |
| lazarus | Zenker, remove all old versions but keep the 2 most current | 16:14 |
| toogreen | Zenker, therefore I suggest you keep the latest kernel as well as the rt one, just in case | 16:14 |
| Zenker | awsome thank you guys, this has been driving me mad for a while now | 16:14 |
| OerHeks | check your current in terminal: uname -a | 16:14 |
| toogreen | Zenker, or, as lazarus said, keep 2 most recent ones, but if i were u i'd keep the "rt" one too just in case | 16:14 |
| lazarus | toogreen, he could use ubuntutweak | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | and you cannot delete the version before your current, it is in use by recovery | 16:15 |
| Zenker | so ill keep rt and the most recent, :) sounds sound 2 me | 16:15 |
| laeg | 16:15 | |
| lazarus | Zenker, you may find ubuntutweak of some use | 16:16 |

| Koterpillar | Ascavasaion, this was there in alpha/beta, are you sure you're on the latest? | 16:30 |
| Ascavasaion | Koterpillar: Do not know how to check that... lsb_release says Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic. | 16:31 |

| ubottu | fgfdfg: 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 :) | 16:31 |
| Koterpillar | Ascavasaion, run update manager and check for updates? | 16:31 |
| Ascavasaion | Koterpillar: Okay, will do that now. | 16:31 |
| guntbert | fgfdfg: it will be a risk if you use an encrypted home directory - a good way to loose your data if you didn't record the real passphrase in a secure place | 16:32 |
| fgfdfg | guntbert, what about security involving other people breaking into my computer? I write all my passwords down and put them in a safe. | 16:33 |

| kevin__ | What's the difference between removal and complete removal in synaptic? | 16:35 |
| rbellamy | kevin__, removal will leave config files etc, complete removal does not | 16:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | rbellamy: You need to check for a bad source entry in /etc/apt/sources.list | 16:36 |
| rbellamy | LinuxGuy2009, kk, thanks | 16:36 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kevin__: Complete removal also removes any user config files for that app. | 16:36 |
| Zenker | kevin__ complete removal is like purge i think, it removes everything associated with that package such as the configuration files or settings etc | 16:36 |
| fgfdfg | guntbert are there any other usernames that get created when I use wubi installer from windows? | 16:37 |

| kevin__ | Ok so is the problem that your wireless password is supposed to be greater than 8 characters and you can only have less, or your password is less but is says you need more? | 16:41 |
| fgfdfg | guntbert i want to lock down ALL accounts for security purposes I have many things to protect on this computer | 16:42 |
| Zenker | interesting, i cannot save the grub.cft after i comment out those lines, guess i really shouldnt mess with it, but how do i get rid of the memory tests? | 16:42 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | fgfdfg: Lock down all accounts? I thought thats what user accounts with passwords were for? | 16:42 |
| freedar | LinuxGuy2009: ı look for tag settings for a song but there is no an option as my feature :( | 16:42 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | freedar: What file type? | 16:43 |
| guntbert | fgfdfg: every line is an account - but please don't touch them!!! do you have a GUI? | 16:43 |
| visof | kevin__ the actual password of the network is less than 8 and it need at least 8 characters to activate the button | 16:43 |
| freedar | nad what do you mena with "Maybe see if there is a songbird channel?" ? | 16:43 |
| fgfdfg | guntbert yes. i dont want anybody logging into my box with those accounts | 16:43 |
| freedar | the filetype is mp3 | 16:43 |
| ezra14 | I split my hard drive with windows vista. is it possible to access programs installed on windows while i'm on ubuntu, and then install them on ubuntu using wine or some other emulator? | 16:43 |
| guntbert | fgfdfg: nobody *can* with those system accounts - no way | 16:44 |
| fgfdfg | guntbert thanks for your help. bye | 16:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | freedar: MP3 you need to edit the embedded id3 tags. I recomend EasyTag | 16:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | freedar: If you ripped them from your CD collection then the ripper app usually looks them up online or you can manually enter them before ripping. | 16:45 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ezra14: Yes wine can install some Windows apps. | 16:45 |
| zealiod | when i ussue "service networking restart" i get an error "restart: rejected send messgae type=method_call" | 16:45 |
| kevin__ | visof: Ok do you have the correct setting for your network? Do you know if your system has WEP or WPA? | 16:45 |

| mdisieno_ | okay, heres my problem. I am running ubuntu karmic on my htpc and am trying to push it up to my vizio vx37l at 1920x1080. What I am running into is the edges of my screen are cut off no matter the resolution. I am using a geforce 7900gt with dual dualink dvi ports, on one of those ports i have a dvi-d single link cable going from the htpc to dvi>hdmi adapter for the tv. My first though was the pc, but it works beautifully with rgb | 16:46 |
| mdisieno_ | -vga, so I'm lost, any ideas? | 16:46 |
| freedar1 | LinuxGuy2009: im sorry but you didn understand me. ı don't want to edit the mp3 tags.. ı want to find the song name and artist name of the music from internet automatically (like feature of winmap : auto-tag) | 16:46 |
| Zenker | i suppose i can just uninstall the package then reinstall it later if i need it? | 16:46 |

| kalakouentin | question: I have perfectly functional 9.10 installation but there is a small glitch.My toshiba U400 will be humming literally half of the time the computer is on, even if the computer isn't really doing absolutely anything and I am reading a pdf. Top doesn't seem to give anything and sensors gives a temp. of 43 C. | 16:52 |
| ezra14 | LinuxGuy2009: oh ok. i see it. thanks a lot. | 16:52 |
| Ascavasaion | Okay, turns out the Lock Screen thing is not sorted out... hmmm Karmic was not a good step for me. Any ideas how to sort it out. I have to reboot three/four times, because graphics go haywire on bootup as well. Karmic was not a good idea. | 16:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ezra14: Very good. | 16:53 |
| kalakouentin | Any ideas of how on Earth I can get it to be quiet for once? | 16:53 |
| wng- | Can ubuntu 9.10 boot off a software RAID 5 partition? | 16:53 |
| visof | kevin__ it's infrastructure | 16:53 |
| Zenker | its description says " This package depends on all of the packages in the Ubuntu standard system" sooo, what's taht ?? | 16:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kalakouentin: Does your machine feature a temperature controlled fan? | 16:53 |
| visof | kevin__ but i'll try both | 16:53 |
| desrt | hi. can someone tell me how to install a version of a package from a PPA when a newer version is already available in the main repository? | 16:54 |
| rbellamy | genii, ok, when I change sources.list using vim, and then go and work on it using the GUI, the GUI changes things back to security.ubuntu with karmic-security | 16:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Zenker: ubuntu-standard is a meta-package. | 16:54 |
| kalakouentin | LinuxGuy2009, I will check. I would think it does. | 16:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kalakouentin: Windows installed as well or not? | 16:54 |
| Zenker | ahh never mind, this is a very important package, so , how do i get rid of the memory test lines in grub? | 16:54 |
| rbellamy | wtf? | 16:55 |
| kevin__ | visof: Ok I've been looking up WPA encryption and most places it states that it needs to be at least eight characters long, most are 12+. Are you sure it's WPA? | 16:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Zenker: Why are you worried about default entries? Normally you dont need to mess with those. | 16:55 |
| visof | kevin__ yeah | 16:55 |
| kalakouentin | LinuxGuy2009, they were installed when I got the machine, and I have kept them in a small partition but I don't recall them being buzzers also. | 16:55 |

| kalakouentin | (I haven't used them in a while but I don't see any other issues, other people in our labs have the same pc with vista and they are pretty quiet) | 16:57 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kalakouentin: Hardware compatibility and features are provided by the kernel. If your machine doesnt behave properly, you can always file a bug or feature request on launchpad.net. | 16:57 |
| kalakouentin | Well... I don't know if it's behaviour is "proper" or not | 16:57 |
| rbellamy | where can I find an authoritative list for my sources.list? Something is clearly stupid with mine, and I'd like to basically start from scratch | 16:58 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kalakouentin: Well you could call the manufacturer and ask them if that models fan or whatnot has a temperature controlled speed etc, | 16:58 |
| LexR | does anyone know a good site about how to customize your ubuntu desktop? about widgets, gadgets, conky, themes, transparency etc... | 16:58 |
| kalakouentin | Right not, 'sensors' gives : temp1: +42.0°C (crit = +104.0°C) but the fan is on! | 16:59 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | rbellamy: What? Your sources.list is located at /etc/apt/sources.list. | 16:59 |

| kalakouentin | LinuxGuy2009, anyway thank you. I'll check what is going on with the fan from the manufacturer's site. | 17:03 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | desrt: linux-image is the kernel. yes. | 17:03 |
| IdleOne | !minimal | desrt that would be it | 17:03 |
| ubottu | desrt that would be it: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:03 |
| desrt | IdleOne: that's not what i asked | 17:04 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | kalakouentin: very good | 17:04 |
| Zenker | Ascavasaion from previous expierance, if multiple reboots are need to make anything electronic start up correctly , it isnt the configurations or the os or anything like that, its the hardware, but, i suppose just for arguments sake that if u reboot a million times it might reboot differantly one of those times | 17:04 |

| Zenker | Ascavasion, umm, u can try putting it to sleep, hibernate, do anything to get the monitor/graphics card 2 shut off w/0 actually shutting down the sys. try a few diff things a few times and see if the monitor turns on every time | 17:20 |
| autoclesis | polls | 17:20 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Sky35: If you like to file a bug report: ubuntu-bug compiz-config-settings-manager or whatever? | 17:21 |

| Sky35 | compizconfig.so; since I'm getting an error that its empty (it is), when I assume it's not suppose to be. | 17:22 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Sky35: Perhaps rempove and reinstall CCSM so that it gets repaired? | 17:23 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Sky35: If it doesnt then file a report. | 17:23 |
| Zenker | ascavasion be sure to be specific about upgrading 1st, if u dont find anything, try to generalize it to other related searches | 17:23 |
| Sky35 | LinuxGuy2009: Hmm, tried that, but perhaps reintalling all of compiz (including settings mgr) ? | 17:23 |

| cclocker | Hello. I want to share a folder on Ubuntu 9.10 only for certain users, but the folder sharing options just let me change the settings from "just I have access" to "everyone has access"? | 17:31 |

| ukebane | Hey everyone, I've got a weird problem, if I open a terminal it automatically sends a whole heap of "~~~~~~" | 17:32 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | cclocker: Think thats about right. Its either shared or not. Might be using samba for sharing I think and maybe could edit who to share with possibly. | 17:32 |
| cclocker | raj-darkmystery: it's that simple? I waited for something like: edit smb.conf :) thx | 17:33 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ukebane: stuck keyboard key? | 17:33 |
| bastid_raZor | erUSUL: i guess you like fixing the broken fun of an upgrade? | 17:33 |
| ukebane | LinuxGuy2009, I even removed the tilde key alltogether, same problem | 17:33 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | ukebane: happen in any text editors? | 17:33 |

| Draglor | or gnome-keyring ;) | 17:36 |

| Zenker | isnt there a stickykeys equilivant? maybe he can try just increasing the delay time to see for sure if there is a key malfunction | 17:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: Access what page? | 17:39 |
| llutz | StormTide: "mail.* -/var/log/mail.log" "mail.err -/var/log/mail.err" | 17:39 |
| makaveli0129 | destar | 17:39 |
| makaveli0129 | linuxguy2009: destar | 17:39 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: Yeah thats the name of a package. | 17:40 |
| StormTide | llutz, it appears to be running rsyslog for some reason... no syslog.conf exists | 17:40 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: You trying to run the app? (if thats what it is?)? | 17:40 |

| arvind_khadri | !u > raj-darkmystery | 17:41 |
| ubottu | raj-darkmystery, please see my private message | 17:41 |
| Draglor | makaveli0129: destar is just a web-gui for asterisk .. you have to access it over your browser (maybe http://locahost/destar) | 17:42 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: Go in synaptic and find the package and right click properties and installed files. look for any entry that looks like /usr/bin/*** or /usr/sbin/*** | 17:42 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: Those are the binaries you can run that are part of destar | 17:42 |
| Draglor | makaveli0129: there is no GUI or menu ... it's accessible through your webserver | 17:43 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | makaveli0129: Otherwise man destar | 17:43 |
| Draglor | LinuxGuy2009: It's just something under /var/www .. no binary | 17:43 |
| makaveli0129 | Draglor: i tried the localhost/destar and get nothing | 17:43 |
| Federix | hi all | 17:44 |
| Draglor | try localhost.8080, makaveli0129 | 17:44 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Federix: Hi there. | 17:44 |
| Draglor | http://localhost:8080 | 17:44 |
| Draglor | This is the default adress for destar | 17:45 |
| Zenker | ukebane goto system, prefs, assistive technologies, and click on the keyboard accessibility button, then try turning on bounce keys (check the ignore fast duplicate keypresses) if this stops it it probably is a stuck/malfunctioning key | 17:45 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: yea just tried that still nothing | 17:45 |
| makaveli0129 | i have a proxy set up through ssh on port 8080 do you think that could cause the problem? | 17:45 |
| Zenker | ukeband also try messin with the slider some to tweak the setting | 17:46 |
| r00t_ | how would i turn off my interenet signal fromt he comand line? | 17:46 |
| Draglor | makaveli0129: yes, you can't have two apps listen on the same port, you have to change the port for one of them | 17:47 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: i'll change the default for the destar but how do you get out of the man destar page lol | 17:47 |
| Federix | but... Are you in this channel every day? | 17:48 |
| Draglor | press q ;) | 17:48 |
| raj-darkmystery | r00t_, what is the exact meaning of turning off the internet signal? | 17:48 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | r00t_: replace wlan0 with whatever your connection is called. | 17:49 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | r00t_: eth0 etc | 17:49 |
| Mkools | I have configured evolution for my yahoo account and gamil account according to http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/mail-settings.html, but still it is not showing messages of my yahoo and gamil inbox what is the problem? | 17:49 |
| r00t_ | how do i do that? | 17:49 |
| Draglor | LinuxGuy2009: This should not work using network manager, utilizing nm it should be done sending a dbus signal I'd believe | 17:49 |
| r00t_ | sorry im a noob | 17:49 |
| petllama | is there a way to see transfer rate / complete % when using the default ftp 'put'? | 17:49 |

| c3l | Is there any program that I can use to remove noise from an audio recording? (due to high bass volume) | 17:49 |
| raj-darkmystery | r00t_, whats the topology you are using? internet is shared through your computer? means is your computer is acting as a server (proxy server) | 17:49 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: Audacity | 17:50 |
| Draglor | did you restart your server? (apache/lighthttp/whatever) | 17:50 |
| Draglor | makaveli0129: | 17:50 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: i get this when i typed the destar -r 8081 "Serving application 'page_main' on port 8081 | 17:50 |

| d4nd14z | my ubuntu says : "ubuntu cannot install all upgrades"... | 17:50 |
| Zenker | r00t_ there is a way to make the connection ask for a password, but idk if its a diff password then the login, but perhaps theres a way to make it ask for a password that u set | 17:50 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009, oh! would you mind explaining more in detail? =) | 17:50 |
| ukebane | Zenker, thanks, I'm testing it now. | 17:51 |
| Draglor | so now try to acess http://localhost:8081 with your browser (or the servers adress instead of localhost) makaveli0129 | 17:51 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: Audacity is an audio editor. | 17:51 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: so it appears it's on the right port but localhost:8081 still get no dice | 17:51 |
| r00t_ | Zenker: any way to just shut off the device? like in wondiows device manager i coudl just disable it. | 17:51 |
| jeremyg | Quick question.. I've been thinking about building a file/web/print server at my house.. I've had some in the past but people keep hacking it so I decided to start thinking about other options and decided on linux.. I've used Ubuntu here and their on my home PC just to kind of get use to it.. but I've never tried doing a full out server.. anyone have any good advice for someone learning not... | 17:51 |
| jeremyg | ...only linux but the server side too... | 17:51 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: even by my ip no dice | 17:52 |
| Draglor | No error message makaveli0129? The message indicates it is running | 17:52 |
| Zenker | r00t_ are u on a laptop, theres a key for that, otherwise , just disconnect the cable and take it with you rofl | 17:52 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009, yeah, I was wondering if you knew how the noise reducion is used, and where I find it, in audacity. just briefly if you dont mind =) | 17:52 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: do you know how to tell if it is running? | 17:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | r00t_: So in GUI there is the network manager applet. | 17:52 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Noise_Removal | 17:53 |
| ukebane | LinuxGuy2009, Zenker, it seems to be gone now, but the bounce keys are off | 17:53 |
| Draglor | makaveli0129: "ps aux|grep destar" or "lsof -i -P |grep 8081" should show if it's running" | 17:53 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009, you're the best, thanks | 17:53 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: welcome | 17:53 |
| jeremyg | Anybody? | 17:54 |
| makaveli0129 | draglor: did you see that? | 17:54 |
| Zenker | ukeband then yep, its 99% for sure that its a sticking/malfunctioning key. keyboards for lappies are pretty cheap for most of them | 17:54 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: If your speaking of hig bass and distortion there is nothing you can do about that. Noise from hiss or whatever yes you can remove that. | 17:55 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009, ohh. so its not even worth a try then? | 17:55 |
| rbellamy | jeremyg, there's numerous tutorials on the interweb - aunty google is your friend for that. Other than that - just install it and start looking around.... | 17:55 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | c3l: Is the problem clipping or just background noise? | 17:56 |
| Draglor | Sorry, makaveli0129, it seems you ran into an autoignore. So I can't help you anymore. | 17:56 |
| c3l | LinuxGuy2009, brwschzzz brwschzzz brwschzzz, basically. the music is loud =) | 17:56 |

| steelbox | I don't see buttons and menu at top and bottom of the screen | 17:59 |
| steelbox | both toolbars are gray | 17:59 |
| Zenker | c3l hope it works for u, but if the mic is extremely crappy or old the membrane may be cracked or disformed, in this case theres only 1 real solution | 17:59 |
| steelbox | but empty | 17:59 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox: Are you in a gnome session or something else? | 17:59 |
| bastid_raZor | !panels | steelbox | 17:59 |
| ubottu | steelbox: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 17:59 |
| steelbox | bastid_raZor: yeah panels, sorry :) | 18:00 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Not sure how restoring panels that rent there helps but ok. | 18:00 |
| c3l | Zenker, its a quite new iPhone, and the mic works just fine normally, so ill blame the music in this case =) | 18:00 |

| steelbox | LinuxGuy2009: yeah | 18:00 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox:No panels at all? | 18:00 |

| steelbox | so, last question | 18:04 |
| pacific-blue | How does nvidia's dropping open driver support just before 10.04 affect ubuntu? | 18:04 |
| steelbox | is it a know problem or .. ? | 18:04 |
| steelbox | known* | 18:04 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox: Gnome doesnt allow the panels to be removed unless you do some "hacking". Or your gnome is just busted | 18:05 |
| Zenker | c3l ahh i see :) | 18:05 |
| steelbox | okay | 18:05 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox: Gnome always leaves one panel no matter what | 18:05 |
| Draglor | pacific-blue: As ubuntu uses noveau it doesn't affect it in any way | 18:05 |
| bastid_raZor | pacific-blue: #ubuntu+1 for lucid/10.04 | 18:05 |
| steelbox | so, thanks a lot for your help guys | 18:05 |
| steelbox | and see u soon, maybe :) | 18:05 |
| bastid_raZor | LinuxGuy2009: most times when the panels are messed up a simple reset of them will fix the issue. | 18:06 |
| woody_ | kinuxguy2009, i ran that command and it funked up my display. is this going to go away? | 18:06 |
| pacific-blue | draglor, Noveau is nvidia open source | 18:06 |
| Draglor | pacific-blue: No | 18:06 |
| _ListerW1rk | i can mount a dvd drive and browse the folders with nautilis, but i cant play the dvd itself. Any suggestions? | 18:06 |
| Draglor | nouveau has nothing to do with nvidia | 18:06 |
| c3l | Zenker, and he was even better live than on hes cd's ;) | 18:06 |
| steelbox | oh sorry, one last small question | 18:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | woody_: What command? | 18:06 |
| Draglor | it's for nvidia, but not from nvidia, nvidia even doesn't support it | 18:06 |
| pacific-blue | Draglor: "The new release includes the Linux kernel 2.6.32 and improved support for nVidia proprietary graphics drivers, while switching to the open source nVidia graphics driver, nouveau, by default" | 18:06 |

| steelbox | how to reduce that? | 18:07 |
| WhiteDawn | How can you check space remaining on hardrive through console? | 18:07 |
| Draglor | nv is the nvidia drviver from nvidia only support for nv is dropped, nvidia has never supported noveau | 18:07 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | woody_: lshw only lists installed hardware has nothing to do with your display getting messed up. | 18:07 |
| c3l | Zenker, yeah, ill do that! | 18:08 |
| phoenix_ | is there any easy way to install kde3 libraries on 9.10? | 18:08 |
| woody_ | linuxguy2009, weird... my computer looks like an hippy on acid... i gotta reboot it | 18:08 |
| pacific-blue | Draglor: so what am I missing. They state "Noveau" as the code name for nVidia's open source graphic driver. Which they, right before 10.04 is going to use it, have dropped support for it. Is Noveau not the name they call their open source nVidia drivers? | 18:08 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Mkools: Probably just not configured correctly. Thunderbird has gmail support built right in. Try that. | 18:08 |
| _ListerW1rk | any idea why a mounted DVD disc wont play? /dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 type udf (ro) | 18:08 |

| Mkools | LinuxGuy2009: What about evolution? | 18:09 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox: Delete anything you dont need in home. empty package cache. | 18:09 |
| pacific-blue | ZykoticK9: I'll google about some more then. I thought they were the same | 18:09 |
| Draglor | nouveau is the open source driver for nvidia NOT from nvidia ... nv is the open source driver FROM nvidia .. nv support is dopped, onlly the proprietary nvidia drivers are still developed | 18:09 |
| _ListerW1rk | phoenix_: have you tried apt-get? | 18:09 |
| ZykoticK9 | pacific-blue, noveau != nv (in any way) | 18:09 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | steelbox: sure. and you could "apt-get autoremove" to remove any packages that are not needed anymore as deps. | 18:10 |
| Mkools | LinuxGuy2009: It asks for password, when I provide it, evolution doesn't show mails. | 18:10 |

| LinuxGuy2009 | crc32: Try gksudo nautilus. Change permissions of /dev to you. | 19:02 |

| dante123 | WhiteDawn yeah, i thought about waiting....but he's gonna ask me for help anyway....and you can easily update from beta to final 10.04 (more clean than upgrading from 9.10 isn't it) | 19:02 |
| WhiteDawn | zzzZoltan: No real ideas, but i can tell you that udevd is what allows the linux kernel to access the /dev/ folder. Some things to check would be if you installed any hardware recently, and you might wanna try runing a fsck on the hard disk. You will need a live cd for any major repairs. Thats all i got though, someone more knoledgeable might be able to help you. | 19:03 |
| nDuff | crc32, btw, you can use the "groups" command to see which groups your current session sees itself as part of. | 19:03 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | dante123: If you want it to be absolutely clean you'd do a full reinstall of the root directory anyway. (Hope you have a separate partition for /home so you don't have to lug out the external drive to back up your personal files. | 19:03 |
| WhiteDawn | dante123: I can't tell you from experience, as I usualy do a full formate anyway :P | 19:03 |

| Ahren_The_Magus | LinuxGuy2009: I want, on startup, to automatically boot VirtualBox onto Desk 4, and have VirtualBox automatically load my windows VM (for Wine-incapable apps) on that same desk, so by the time I'm done with my other stuff, I can hop over to that desk. | 19:10 |
| i3inary | xmuk: new install of netbook remix on and i get rescue:grub prompt when it boots | 19:10 |
| erik__ | Im having issues with unstable wifi on my netbook. im running 90.10 and my card appears to be atheros. is there any fixes for this? | 19:10 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ahren_The_Magus: load em up on the desktops you want and then hybernate. | 19:11 |
| shadi | how to change login screen | 19:11 |
| nDuff | acicula, that's vaguely interesting, yes. It'd be interesting to put selinux into reporting mode and see if there's anything going on there, likewise to check ACLs. (I'm concerned about it being "groups crc" as opposed to just "groups", btw -- I'm not confident that that provides what groups are for the current session as opposed to what groups would be for a new login) | 19:11 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | LinuxGuy2009: And so far, I have been unable to do that short of manually booting things up after Ubuntu is started up. As for hibernation, I prefer booting the system clean each time I need it, rather than relying on a hibernation image...just for my own peace of mind, if nothing else. | 19:11 |
| rabbit1 | LinuxGuy2009: i just did reinstall from Synaptic Manager for php5-gd, hopefully it works ;) | 19:12 |
| i3inary | xmuk: i have booted to the usb flash again and i am trying to figure out what to change | 19:12 |
| kane77 | does ubuntu support more than one sound cards? it would be cool to be able to have music playing on speakers and for instance watch movie on headphones.. | 19:12 |
| acicula | nDuff: yeah im not sure about that either | 19:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | rabbit1: cool | 19:12 |
| howitzer | kane77, you wouldn't need more then one soundcard for that. | 19:12 |
| dodov | hi | 19:12 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Ahren_The_Magus: Good luck | 19:12 |
| joli | hi there guys! | 19:12 |
| kane77 | howitzer, how would you do that? | 19:12 |
| acicula | nDuff: i couldnt recreate the problem on vanilla karmic anyway, but i tried with my usergroup and not audio | 19:13 |
| dodov | i need some help with bqcktrqck | 19:13 |
| XuMuK | but what's the problem? you can't boot from HDD or what? | 19:13 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | kane77: Good question...I find Ubuntu doesn't like serving audio for more than one thing at once. If I'm playing a vid in VLC Media Player, and then boot ZSNES, the game is audio-less. If I then kill VLC and restart ZSNES, the game gets the audio, but then VLC (if restarted) does not. | 19:13 |
| acicula | but i dont have selinux active | 19:13 |
| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: tell ZSNESS to use pulseaudio | 19:13 |
| acicula | and vlc for that matter, then you can mix it | 19:13 |
| zzzZoltan | WhiteDawn: fsck would run since it's lvm. is there a similar command I can run from the lvm console? | 19:14 |
| howitzer | kane77, i'm sorry, i completely misinterpreted your question. | 19:14 |
| zzzZoltan | WhiteDawn: err, wouldn't run even | 19:14 |
| kane77 | Ahren_The_Magus, yeah, pulseaudio should solve it | 19:14 |
| Mkools | I have configured gmail correctly on Evolution but I have problems with ymail on password. | 19:14 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: Already tried that...the only way I can get ZSNES to use audio in any usable way is to default everything to SDL. | 19:14 |
| Mkools | Can anyone please help | 19:14 |
| WhiteDawn | zzzZoltan: the live cd wouldent run? | 19:14 |
| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: if it defaults to /dev/dsp you can use the padsp wrapper | 19:14 |
| Kentrel | When I run some KDE programs, like amarok, I often get a lot of processes left running starting with K, like knotify4, etc, even when I shut down the program. Can I stop this from happening? | 19:14 |
| i3inary | xmuk: correct the computer will not boot from the harddrive. i am using the live cd to troubleshoot. i mounted /dev/sda1 and if i go look at grub.cfg i see that it has entries in it but i am not sure what i need to change | 19:15 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | pulseaudio is the best ever :p | 19:15 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: *confused look* | 19:15 |
| zzzZoltan | WhiteDawn: I'm in the recovery mode of the server install cd but can't run fsck on the devices udevd complaint about since they're lvm's | 19:15 |

| mrenouf | If you make a package for a service, which includes init scripts, does it get restarted automatically after an upgrade, or do I need to manually add a restart to postinst? | 19:15 |

| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: actally, tried zsnes -ad pulse ? | 19:16 |
| joli | I'm testing Lucid. For some reason i get the Lubuntu logo even if aparently I haven't it instaled.... I used a "sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i lxde" with no results... what's happening here? | 19:16 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: The only option that ZSNES seems to like is zsnes -ad sdl | 19:16 |
| Aciid | Mozilla Firefox | 19:16 |
| Aciid | Default search engine has been changed to Yahoo! The default Home Page will use either Google or Yahoo! depending on user setting. | 19:16 |
| Aciid | wait what? | 19:16 |
| maco | joli: dpkg -l *splash* | 19:16 |
| Mkools | Myrtti: I have read that, but to make an account I have to pay? | 19:16 |
| Aciid | why is lucid using Yahoo as default? | 19:16 |
| Aciid | is this somekind of fancy sponsorshit | 19:17 |
| maco | Aciid: yes | 19:17 |
| arakthor | Aciid, yes. it was that way with firefox as well | 19:17 |
| WhiteDawn | zzzZoltan: Sorry then, don't know what else to do :( | 19:17 |
| maco | Aciid: and no swearing! | 19:17 |
| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: well maybe the padsp wrapper works, just start from the console with padsp <prog> | 19:17 |
| Aciid | okey, so im sticking with Chrome | 19:17 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: Trying -ad pulse right now, just to be 100% sure it won't accept it on my laptop. | 19:17 |
| zenith | Hi ya all | 19:17 |
| Aciid | maco: and sorry about the swearing | 19:17 |
| maco | Aciid: just like how firefox's default upstream is google because google pays mozilla | 19:17 |
| zzzZoltan | WhiteDawn: ok, i'll see what I can do. thanks though :/ | 19:17 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: -ad pulse = no audio in ZSNES. Confirmed. | 19:17 |
| acicula | try padsp znes -ad oss | 19:18 |
| Aciid | maco: tears in my eyes .___.; oh well I use firefox for quakelive mostly nowadays | 19:18 |
| WhiteDawn | zzzZoltan: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-139776.html might help? | 19:18 |

| msandbu | Hi, is there any firewall avaliable to ubuntu that I can administer trough a webpage? | 19:18 |
| Myrtti | Aciid: changing the default search engine isn't rocket science | 19:19 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | acicula: I tried 'padsp zsnes -ad sdl'. Sound is functional. Trying VLC now to see if that works. If not, I'll try -ad oss instead. | 19:19 |
| zzzZoltan | WhiteDawn: I'll have a look. the problem started when I added one more disk to my raid5 array (array just used for storage) the cpu maxed since last night and when I forced a reboot today it wont boot :( | 19:19 |
| maco | joli: oh wait lucid... hmm make that *plymouth* you're in the wrong channel by the way. #ubuntu+1 | 19:19 |
| i3inary | i just dont understand how the UBUNTU live cd never has a problem booting but the harddrive does....why cant the setup just get the damn harddrive location and make the proper grub entry for it....what the hell is so hard about that if you are going to make an OS you gotta make the damn thing boot off a drive dont you...? | 19:20 |

| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: not sure if vlc pulls it defaults from there, the gnome movie player does though | 19:25 |
| tariqc | password? | 19:25 |
| Mkools | Myrtti: I used yahoo mail by directly going on web. Means here is also same problem of payment. | 19:25 |
| etsorbme8 | yep, with same result | 19:25 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | etsorbme8: Result of what? | 19:26 |

| acicula | Ahren_The_Magus: yeah its a nice player | 19:27 |
| i3inary | ok guys take care ubuntu should fix their install if they want people to use the code...otherwise gtfofftheinternetwithyourcrappycodethatdoesntwork | 19:27 |

| ActionParsnip | Zenith: don't advise new users anwhere near root. It will most likely make a mess | 19:27 |

| skyhirider | True, but it's more user friendly | 19:29 |

| DrupalJim | So i just bought another dedicated last night, and today i compltetely fubared everything. Is there a way to revert all cahnges or go back to instllation state without having to call my datacenter to reinstall. | 19:30 |
| jzacsh | tariqc: there has to be a user. what you can do is boot from a livecd again and take a look at /etc/passwd on the HDD you installed to | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Tariqc: that's why the guides all advise sudo so you log on as user which makes your system a billion times more secure | 19:30 |
| WhiteDawn | Tariqc: you can sign into root with sudo -i | 19:31 |
| tariqc | ActionParsnip: is there a way i can install a user account if i didn't do it during install? | 19:31 |

| ubottu | tariqc: To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo | 19:32 |
| acicula | DrupalJim: not in the sense of system restore no, you could purge packaes and reinstall the basic profile but that wont reset configurations you made | 19:32 |

| BluesKaj | !firewall | msandbu | 19:33 |
| ubottu | msandbu: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo).

| shane2peru | ActionParsnip, I don't think that I can tag them with Nautilus, unless I'm missing something | 19:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Why is a seperate app needed for just images, makes no sense to me | 19:57 |

| ActionParsnip | Not sure on tagging. I don't tag pics | 19:57 |
| shane2peru | ActionParsnip, well, I want to sort some out for an album, and don't want to copy them and paste them, so tagging for that is very usefull | 19:57 |
| shane2peru | ActionParsnip, I generally don't either | 19:57 |
| shane2peru | ActionParsnip, just for a project here and there | 19:58 |
| ActionParsnip | I just make a folder and cp the pics over, naming the folder with a date and the subject of the pics | 19:58 |

| An_Ony_Moose | Docteh, I mean upgrading the kernel, because there's a little driver problem | 20:02 |

| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, I think it's FAT32 | 20:12 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, but it's probably nothing to do with the FS, considering that it won't even create a block device... | 20:12 |

| An_Ony_Moose | hmm | 20:14 |
| An_Ony_Moose | on a different computer, just fsck [blockdevicename]? | 20:14 |

| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, on this computer it doesn't even get as far as creating a block device | 20:15 |

| An_Ony_Moose | and it's apparently a bug in the driver/kernel (as far as I gathered) | 20:19 |
| nikolam | An_Ony_Moose, but it bothers me that it worked fine on same machine on 9.10 befor, as i understand? | 20:20 |
| An_Ony_Moose | yes nikolam, but probably just a kernel update | 20:20 |
| nikolam | Maybe that could be worth to repost as a bug on launchpad if you think that is new behavior after updates or something | 20:20 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, apparently it's fixed in 2.6.32 or whatever | 20:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Sine`: get a free no-ip or dydns account and install the client app on your system. You can then use the name and it will resolve to whatever ip you have as the updater will update the dns ip ;) | 20:21 |
| nikolam | An_Ony_Moose, please report a bug. I used to use Lts for a long time and has similar small issues for few hours that got cleared with updates after few hours I think | 20:21 |
| An_Ony_Moose | at least, they told me updating the kernel will fix it | 20:22 |
| An_Ony_Moose | so I'll wait up for 10.04 then see if I should file a bug | 20:22 |
| An_Ony_Moose | or am I misunderstanding you? | 20:22 |
| nikolam | An_Ony_Moose, well, its just not ¨ubuntu way¨ to recompile kernel yourself. Ubuntu is supported system and in wide use, | 20:22 |
| sine` | ActionParsnip: how long does it take to update with the freedns | 20:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Sine`: I use no-ip and have noip2 installed on one of my servers, it updates my ip every 20 mins | 20:22 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, I get it... Just not sure what to put in it >_> | 20:23 |
| nikolam | Best thing is to describe a bug that supposedly arised after update as I understand | 20:23 |
| An_Ony_Moose | uuuh | 20:23 |
| === tanderson_ is now known as brokentux | ||
| An_Ony_Moose | 2.6.31-20... the -20 is a distro-specific... thing, right? | 20:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sine`: you can change the frequency when you install the client. Its on the repo too | 20:23 |
| nikolam | You can also try to use older kernel from repository, previous release from 9.10, try to install it from synaptic | 20:24 |
| SnowmanX11 | does somebody use a Logitech Quick Cam with skype? | 20:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | hmm | 20:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | SnowmanX11, yes, I do | 20:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | it works perfectly | 20:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | problems with it? | 20:24 |
| SnowmanX11 | An_Ony_Moose: How an earth did you make it work? | 20:24 |
| nikolam | yep, An_Ony_Moose every release of ubuntu freezes kernel and after that ut updates only what is needed for security updates, fixes, etc. | 20:24 |
| An_Ony_Moose | SnowmanX11, it worked plugnplay | 20:24 |
| nikolam | You get that with Ubuntu for free, on some other systems its payed thing. | 20:25 |
| SnowmanX11 | An_Ony_Moose: NOt for me. | 20:25 |
| Kingsy102 | I am getting funny lines on some webpages (black lines running along with images etc) I think its my monitor cos the lines change when I zoom in and out | 20:25 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, ok. so I put it now | 20:25 |
| Kingsy102 | how do I check if my monitor is installed correctly? | 20:25 |
| nikolam | nice An_Ony_Moose :) | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | SnowmanX11: what model is it, logitech made a wide range of cams, some work nice some dont | 20:25 |
| Kingsy102 | or re-install a driver? perhaps a graphics driver? | 20:25 |
| === eric is now known as Guest4413 | ||
| SnowmanX11 | ActionParsnip: How can I check what type? | 20:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Kingsy102: you only need to worry about the video driver, the monitor will sort itself mostly | 20:26 |
| Guest4413 | i downloaded compiz config settings manager awesome program give it a try | 20:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Nubuntu: nubuntu isn't supported here | 20:28 |
| nubuntu | ok, sorry | 20:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest4413: ask in compiz, it can do that | 20:29 |
| nikolam | Enelar, try to see with df -h if you have no free space left on device | 20:29 |
| Guest4413 | there's a help box? | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest4413: #compiz sorry | 20:29 |
| abstrakt | ok, now this is massively annoying, after i leave nautilus alone for a while when connected to an FTP site, i eventually get an error when i try to open any folder | 20:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest4413: it has its own channel | 20:29 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, I don't know where to file the bug xD | 20:29 |
| nikolam | Enelar, use sudo aptitude clean to delete all downloaded .deb files from apt cache for start , OR free some space on drive | 20:29 |
| Guest4413 | o ic | 20:29 |
| abstrakt | this doesn't go away until i first "unmount" the ftp site from the left panel and then reconnect through my book mark | 20:29 |
| Guest4413 | ty | 20:29 |
| An_Ony_Moose | nikolam, I've logged into launchpad, where do I go now? | 20:29 |
| abstrakt | why the hell doesn't nautilus just reconnect for me when it knows that the connection is idle? | 20:30 |
| nikolam | An_Ony_Moose, go to the launchpad.net/ubuntu | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | or when it gets that error? | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | this is *way* stupid | 20:30 |
| yourmghq | what is the sudo command to move multiple files inside one folder | 20:30 |
| nikolam | register yourself and search for package you want to report bug to | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Abstrakt; does i t happen with say gftp ? | 20:30 |
| joesphbailey | what is a sound card | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip, i'm not gonna use gftp | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip, i have no idea, i hate gftp | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | filezilla pisses me off too | 20:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Abstrakt: its too see if its the client or the server config | 20:30 |
| nikolam | you can try filezilla | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | i can't stand the "commander" interface with dual splits | 20:30 |
| Enelar | ok, sps | 20:30 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip, well it happens for any server i connect to | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Abstrakt: its just to test its uninstallable | 20:31 |
| joesphbailey | how do you download outlook express on mac | 20:31 |
| Enelar | then I have a new question. I install ubuntu from windows XP. Now I dont need XP anymore, how I can delete fs with windows without server shutdown? | 20:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Abstrakt: if its ok with other clients then its nautilus and therefore a bug | 20:32 |
| blakkheim | joesphbailey: don't you think that's just A LITTLE offtopic here? | 20:32 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip, it's probably a bug then | 20:32 |
| abstrakt | ActionParsnip, i haven't messed around with other clients | 20:32 |
| wh1t3 | im having some problems with dual screen on nvidia drivers on 8.10, Primary is working fine, secondary is detected, when secondary is enabled there are 'warping' vertical bars that do seem to represent the screen. Any clues on what might be wrong? | 20:32 |

| Dazzled | Enelar: why then a dual boot? | 20:51 |

| Docteh | buy more ram and go 64 bit :) | 20:52 |
| Gizmo_the_Great | Hi. WHen executing "ls - lsh" I get a directory coloured red followed by a "->" to another red entry. Q1 - What a red entries? What does that colour symbolise. Q2 - What is the ->? Does it mean a sym link? | 20:52 |
| t3chkommie | haha on no, this laptop isnt worth more ram. | 20:52 |
| t3chkommie | if its iffy, i guess ill just prevent the flash 10 headaches and go with 32bit. | 20:52 |
| Docteh | yea | 20:52 |
| Dazzled | Enelar: I don't know how to do it without booting from a live CD, especially not when editing the partition that is being used at the moment | 20:52 |

| Enelar | <Dazzled> oh... then I shoul say peoples, that server have technical problems) | 20:53 |
| Enelar | *should | 20:53 |
| purvesh | daftykins, hey .... but i cant see the timer applet at add to panel | 20:53 |
| Dazzled | Enelar: that's a bit confusing, so there's a Windows bootloader, and then there's the Ubuntu bootloader (grub?) | 20:54 |
| wh1t3 | Kingsy102, what driver are you using? | 20:54 |
| t3chkommie | another qucik question, probably and easyone. if i upgrade to the new beta, when its made public will i have to reinstall or will i just have to sudo apt-get update/upgrade? | 20:54 |
| guntbert | Gizmo_the_Great: no idea what the colors mean (try to find them in man ls) but you are right about sym links | 20:54 |
| wh1t3 | Kingsy102, for you graphics card that is | 20:54 |

| Enelar | <Dazzled> no, windows loader, then ubuntu menu with kernel params etc | 20:54 |
| Dazzled | Enelar: oh, you're running a server? | 20:55 |
| daftykins | purvesh: so those two are probably not meant to be add-ons there. | 20:55 |
| t3chkommie | doctech: so i wont have to reinstall once it goes public in april? | 20:55 |
| Docteh | t3chkommie: at the beta stage they've usually done all the upgrade breaking changes that they are going to, but no promises | 20:55 |
| Dazzled | Enelar: unless anyone in here can prove it's a-okay to edit the partition you're currently working on | 20:55 |
| Kingsy102 | wh1t3 - I am not sure.. I didnt install anything | 20:55 |
| daftykins | t3chkommie: you'll get updates everyday, so if you keep up to date - on release day, you'll be running Lucid release. | 20:55 |
| t3chkommie | got it. thanks doc, i guess ill giver a go and see what happens ;) | 20:55 |
| t3chkommie | thanks dafty! i love this channel! | 20:56 |

| wh1t3 | Kingsy102, what brand do you have? | 20:56 |
| magn3ts | gdm nesting or something? | 20:56 |
| Dazzled | Enelar: I'd say downtime is the only option, and then still, editing partitions can cause serious errors | 20:56 |

| Kingsy102 | wh1t3 - it says [recommended] aswell | 20:58 |
| magn3ts | ZykoticK9, fantastic, that *is* it, I remember now. thanks a ton | 20:58 |
| wh1t3 | Kingsy102, does it say activated? or is just the activate button green? | 20:58 |
| Gizmo_the_Great | guntbert: so that kinda answers my question | 20:58 |

| Ahmed\ | But how ever so /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure this doesnt work for me | 21:17 |
| Ahmed\ | And what is a SUPER USER ?i mean it ask me some times that you must be a super user to processed this command | 21:17 |
| Ahmed\ | :) | 21:17 |
| jrib | Ahmed\: users who can sudo. By default these are users in the "admin" group, which the first user is automatically made a member of during install | 21:18 |
| jrib | !sudo | Ahmed\ | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Ahmed\: sudo is a command to run command-line ( see !cli ) programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE) | 21:18 |
| arnold | the root | 21:18 |
| Ahmed\ | Yeah i see | 21:18 |
| Ahmed\ | so root is a default user ? | 21:18 |
| medex | nope | 21:19 |
| medex | you are | 21:19 |
| Ahmed\ | No well ! i am not | 21:19 |
| medex | Ubuntu has no root access. | 21:19 |
| Ahmed\ | All right | 21:19 |
| jrib | Ahmed\: what is the name of your user? | 21:19 |
| arnold | you just type sudo then the command | 21:19 |
| Ahmed\ | its ubuntu | 21:19 |
| pitwalker | medex: hahaha, sudo bash | passwd root | 21:19 |
| medex | sudo means "super user do", so you are working in a prvilaged mode. | 21:20 |
| Ahmed\ | oh it was this easy :$ | 21:20 |
| pitwalker | very easy if you create a password for root, you cal login with them | 21:20 |
| medex | pitwalker: what does that do? | 21:20 |
| Ahmed\ | Okay so how can i find HELP for those command which i dont know for example on windows /? stands for HELP | 21:20 |
| jrib | pitwalker: easy but unnecessary | 21:20 |
| jrib | Ahmed\: « man command » | 21:21 |

| pitwalker | line silgle user mode? NECESSARY (or type dontol+D to continue) | 21:21 |
| rww | (man stands for MANual) | 21:21 |

| pitwalker | like single user mode | 21:21 |
| Ahmed\ | give any example | 21:21 |
| rww | Ahmed\: man sudo | 21:21 |
| Ahmed\ | doesnt work i mean give a complete | 21:22 |
| medex | pitwalker: what does that do? | 21:22 |
| Ahmed\ | works ! hold on | 21:22 |
| Kingsy102 | ok can someone tell me how to go about doing this? I need to completly get rid of FF.. ALL of its settings EVERYTHING and re-install it clean | 21:22 |
| magn3ts | i DO NOT WANT STICK KEYS ON. Please tell me how to permanently disable it. It seems to continually think that I want to activate it and other accessibility keyboard options | 21:22 |

| Ahmed\ | umm | 21:23 |
| Ahmed\ | Okay well | 21:23 |
| pepee | Kingsy102, aptitude purge | 21:23 |

| magn3ts | i DO NOT WANT STICK KEYS ON. Please tell me how to permanently disable it. It seems to continually think that I want to activate it and other accessibility keyboard options | 21:23 |
| magn3ts | medex, it looks like a silly thing to do | 21:23 |
| Ahmed\ | it doesnt even let me change any setting hhhhhhh passwd hhhh | 21:23 |
| medex | magn3ts: what does it do though | 21:24 |
| pitwalker | medex: a give root password example from google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=995033 | 21:24 |
| kollektiv` | do i need to create a swap partition if i'm installing ubuntu in virtualbox | 21:24 |
| ZykoticK9 | medex, don't use that command - it isn't even correct | 21:24 |
| ihowe | test | 21:24 |
| magn3ts | medex, it would pipe the output of bash into the change password command | 21:24 |
| Ahmed\ | Anyone is a hacker here :P | 21:24 |
| magn3ts | medex, I don't think it would work at all really, where did you find it | 21:24 |

| ZykoticK9 | pitwalker, if you want to do that - that's fine. but don't tell others how -- and it's "sudo -i" to get a root shell | 21:29 |
| WonderGeorge | ? | 21:30 |

| ShelbyDingo | Hey, I have a question concerning the creation of a CD from which you can boot. I tried making Ubuntu CDs using my desktop to rescue my laptop which has been thoroughly destroyed by viruses. It no longer boots an OS (it was running Windows XP), but it brings up the start up screen where you can see 'intel' and 'dell' .. It's like a 2001-02 Dell laptop. And it allows me to press the keystrokes to c | 21:41 |
| ShelbyDingo | hoose what to boot from as well as the typical 'LAN boot' keystroke. But then, it just goes black .. | 21:41 |
| chelz | ah ok. since i'm thinking of copying in some stuff from a /home i have, but i want to setup an encrypted home. so i'd like the installer to set up the encrypted home then i copy my stuff in, but i'm not sure if that would throw anything off | 21:41 |

| purplegreysilver | LinuxGuy2009, he wants to get install ubuntu again in his Ubuntu partition, I do believe. Is that possible? | 21:48 |
| ubutom4 | ShelbyDingo, whats the problem burning it on your desktop and booting it up on your laptop? | 21:48 |
| chelz | LinuxGuy2009: i take it he means back before ubuntu was installed | 21:48 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: thank you thats what i'm lookin for | 21:48 |

| Tom2 | how to autoload a module | 21:49 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: yes thats what i meant, linuxguy: its just temporarily | 21:49 |
| Tom2 | everytime ubuntu starts up | 21:49 |
| chelz | DarkVoid82: instead of making a new partition in the space where the ubuntu partition was, you could boot to you ubuntu livecd and use Partition Editor to resize your NTFS/Windows partition to fill up all the space now freed by removing the Ubuntu partition | 21:50 |
| Tom2 | tired of writing modprobe rtl8187 | 21:50 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: run that by me again? | 21:50 |
| sage_ | whats the link to the 64 bit flash player? | 21:51 |
| koori | how to i navigate to a file directory in linux terminal? | 21:51 |
| smirsk | hello | 21:52 |
| chelz | DarkVoid82: that guide recommends creating a partition where ubuntu's partition used to be. a better setup in my mind is to resize the ntfs partition to grow to fill the space, rather than making a new separate partition | 21:52 |
| LinuX2half | Why do my laptop kept shutting down whenever the disk produce high activity? | 21:52 |
| TommyThaGun | !terminal TommyThaGun | 21:52 |
| smirsk | i could not w8 for the 10.04 release | 21:52 |
| rww | ubottu: flash64 | sage_ | 21:52 |
| ubottu | sage_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 21:52 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: can the livecd take linux off? i just need to get rid of it temporarily | 21:52 |
| sage_ | thanks | 21:52 |
| Tom2 | koori: cd | 21:52 |
| nexes_dev | koori, use the cd command | 21:52 |

| Tom2 | how to load a module on ubuntu start-up automatically? | 21:53 |
| smirsk | and updatet, from a 8.04 lts (running system) | 21:53 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, generell solution is the purge option of apt-get | 21:53 |
| lauriya | olaa | 21:53 |
| lauriya | olaa | 21:53 |
| chelz | DarkVoid82: yeah the livecd can. but you might not need to delete it, depending on what you want to do. sometimes just reinstalling the windows bootloader works | 21:53 |
| lauriya | algun | 21:53 |
| lauriya | xico apañao | 21:53 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - I tried that it didnt work | 21:53 |
| rww | ubottu: es | lauriya | 21:53 |
| ubottu | lauriya: 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. | 21:53 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: o.O how do i reinstall the windows bootloader? | 21:53 |
| chelz | Tom2: Add it to your /etc/modules file. | 21:53 |
| TommyThaGun | hmm | 21:53 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, how was it not working | 21:53 |
| smirsk | now i do have a mess, update stopped at memtest86+ | 21:54 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - it says Package firefox is not installed, so not removed | 21:54 |
| LinuX2half | Why do my laptop kept shutting down whenever the disk produce high activity? Is this a hardware failure? | 21:54 |
| chelz | DarkVoid82: it says how in that guide. calls it an 'mbr' thing | 21:54 |
| Kingsy102 | which is impossible cos I have it open right now | 21:54 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: yeah the master boot record | 21:54 |
| Kingsy102 | and just launched a new copy | 21:54 |
| smirsk | ieks | 21:54 |
| smirsk | sorry folks | 21:54 |
| chelz | Kingsy102: you might have installed firefox outside of ubuntu's package management system | 21:55 |
| smirsk | should have tourned all displays on | 21:55 |
| Kingsy102 | chelz - so in that case how would I go about removing it? | 21:55 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, you need the version number | 21:55 |
| chillindave | Anyone here know how to configure exim4 to send emails? | 21:55 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - 3.5.8 | 21:55 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, then the package name might be firefox-3.5 | 21:56 |
| Kingsy102 | ok | 21:56 |
| Kingsy102 | let me try that | 21:56 |
| chelz | chillindave: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Exim4 | 21:56 |
| chillindave | chelz, I've already looked at that, but nothing I find says anything about the configuration screen settings. | 21:56 |
| chillindave | They all say "sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", but don't explain any of the parameters there. | 21:57 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - ok done.. and it seems to have gone | 21:57 |
| DarkVoid82 | chelz: i don't a windows cd/dvd(from what the guide says) the sytem came on my laptop, with no discs. can i use something like ultimate boot cd for windows? | 21:57 |
| chillindave | They skip right over them. | 21:57 |
| chelz | chillindave: http://wiki.exim.org/FrontPage | 21:58 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, hopefully you dont need any configuration stuff right now :) | 21:58 |

| Tom3 | the one from airmon turns my computer off | 22:00 |
| chelz | Tom3: have you read over this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182473 | 22:02 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - ok this is REALLY doing my head in BADLY | 22:02 |
| Kingsy102 | I did sudo apt-get install firefox and it re-installed but ALL of my settings are back.. bookmarks everything | 22:02 |
| Kingsy102 | I want a clean install | 22:02 |
| Kingsy102 | ARRGGHH heh | 22:02 |
| Tom3 | not yet.. thank you gonna read it through | 22:02 |
| chelz | tvaughn: try rephrasing your question | 22:02 |
| iceroot | Kingsy102: sudo apt-get purge firefox instead of remove | 22:03 |
| tvaughn | whoops didnt mean to hit enter | 22:03 |
| chelz | Kingsy102: all of that stuff is installed in ~/.mozilla/firefox | 22:03 |
| tvaughn | as I figured it out | 22:03 |
| chelz | Kingsy102: you might need to manually move/remove it | 22:03 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, so how about deleted the config files in your home directory | 22:03 |
| Kingsy102 | ok | 22:03 |
| ZykoticK9 | iceroot, even purge won't remove things from a user's home directory (in this case all the firefox settings) | 22:03 |
| chelz | Kingsy102: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/Desktop/ | 22:03 |
| acicula | purge affects system wide settings only, not user settins | 22:04 |
| iceroot | ZykoticK9: depending on the postrm-script | 22:04 |
| danalemon | Would anyone be able to help with a wireless adapter questions? | 22:04 |
| ZykoticK9 | iceroot, you're probably right - i've never personally seen it... | 22:04 |
| chelz | Kingsy102: it's best to use the latest firefox in the ubuntu repos, settings for some programs like firefox have to be managed separately. to reset firefox's settings, you do not need to uninstall firefox, just moving or removing its settings folder | 22:04 |
| chelz | !ask | danalemon | 22:04 |
| ubottu | danalemon: 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. :-) | 22:04 |
| iceroot | ZykoticK9: yes the standard is not to remove something like that but it is possible | 22:05 |
| haferjoshua | Kingsly: Try sudo apt-get --purge autoremove firefox | 22:05 |
| rww | iceroot: pretty sure it's against the packaging policy, though. | 22:05 |
| danalemon | Sorry. about that. | 22:05 |
| iceroot | rww: never read them | 22:05 |
| acicula | rww: wonder if its (automatically) checked thouh | 22:05 |
| chelz | danalemon: no problem. just the more you know. | 22:05 |
| rww | acicula: if what's checked? whether a package removes stuff from your ~/ ? | 22:06 |
| danalemon | Ubuntu 9.1 on a desktop: Will most wireless adaptors work for it, or should I look for a specific one? | 22:06 |
| acicula | rww: yeah, in the ppa/ubuntu repositories i mean, since they use an automated build system | 22:06 |
| rww | acicula: I don't think it does. | 22:06 |
| blakkheim | danalemon: look for a specific one | 22:08 |
| blakkheim | danalemon: basically just avoid broadcom | 22:08 |
| Kingsy102 | chelz - thanks fixed it | 22:08 |
| danalemon | blakkheim: Belkin? | 22:08 |
| Kingsy102 | Matisse - thanks | 22:08 |
| blakkheim | danalemon: depends on the chipset | 22:09 |
| kubanc | is there any check disk function to scan ntfs partitions in ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| jsjc | is there any way to assign manually IRQ's to devices??? | 22:10 |
| chelz | kubanc: yes. in partition editor right click and left click something like "check" or "repair" | 22:10 |
| kubanc | chelz, you wanna say gedit? | 22:11 |
| chelz | danalemon: what kind of wireless adapter are you looking for? usb, pci, laptop expansion slot? | 22:11 |
| iceroot | jsjc: bios | 22:11 |
| jsjc | iceroot: but if the bios does not support it? | 22:11 |
| iceroot | jsjc: then not | 22:11 |
| chelz | kubanc: what? | 22:11 |
| Matisse | Kingsy102, no problem | 22:11 |
| danalemon | chelz: usb, it's my dads old dell, and i want to give it to my neighbor. but it needs the wireless | 22:12 |
| iceroot | jsjc: imo that is not related to the os, oonly to the mainboard/bios | 22:12 |
| kubanc | chelz, where can i found partition editor in ubuntu? | 22:12 |
| jsjc | because windows allows you to change IRQ's in device manager so I thought there must be a way in linux to do it... | 22:12 |
| jsjc | iceroot: thanks for the info tho! | 22:12 |
| jsjc | i will try yo resolve the issue in a different manner hehe | 22:12 |
| chelz | danalemon: these should help: http://www.google.com/search?q=good+wireless+OR+wifi+usb+adapter+for+ubuntu | 22:13 |
| chelz | kubanc: if its installed it will be in System -> Administration -> Partition Editor | 22:13 |
| Yhetti | jsjc: IRQs in Linux aren't nearly the issue that they used to be in Windows | 22:13 |
| Yhetti | As in...not an issue, unless you happen to be using something like a 3c905 with onboard IRQ jumpers on an ISA board? | 22:13 |
| chelz | kubanc: if it's not installed you have to install: gparted | 22:13 |
| kubanc | chelz, i'm using LIVE CD right now, but i have gparted installed | 22:13 |
| chelz | kubanc: yeah, it's on the livecd | 22:14 |
| chelz | kubanc: do Check | 22:14 |
| jsjc | Yhetti: not an issue til you encounter one then you are stuffed... because cannot do much. But I bet i willl find a solution to get around | 22:14 |
| kubanc | chelz, gparted cannot execute check function. it stops at speciffic position | 22:15 |
| chelz | kubanc: pastebin the output of: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1 | 22:16 |
| chelz | kubanc: where /dev/sda1 is the partition | 22:16 |

| IdleOne | trism: thank you | 22:21 |
| rww | Tom3: Yep. You should probably run "uname -a" first and make sure to not remove the same version as the one it tells you you're running, but removing anything older than that is fine (though you may want to keep one around just to be safe). | 22:22 |
| chelz | djbeenie_: that seems to be the only one of its kind in terms of being dedicated to listing online streams. a media player called vlc has a feature where it will list the latest Shoutcast radio listings, and rhythmbox plays radio streams quite nicely. | 22:22 |

| unop | git__, you mean you set a variable to be exported in a script, you run the script but the variable is not present in your shell?? | 23:22 |
| iceroot | Vampire0: ok | 23:22 |
| hihihi100 | hello | 23:22 |
| git__ | unop, yep | 23:22 |
| unop | akshaya, I would run ssh -vv user@box from the mac terminal then | 23:22 |
| git__ | unop, is the script creating a new shell when its running? | 23:22 |
| hooge1kanobi | hey I'm looking for some help w/ Samba. | 23:22 |
| spike_ | heya, could anybody tell me how to update my eglibc packages to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ | 23:23 |
| chelz | !ask | hooge1kanobi | 23:23 |
| ubottu | hooge1kanobi: 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. :-) | 23:23 |
| unop | git__, well, you cannot do that -- it's the way unix works, a child process cannot affect its parent's environment | 23:23 |
| hihihi100 | how many of u run an EXT4? | 23:23 |
| Vampire0 | zvacet, now you know why I didn't say the package name in the beginning *g* | 23:23 |
| akshaya | alright, hang on a second there unop, this requires a little walking. brb with stuff i hope | 23:23 |
| hihihi100 | or have recently upgraded to it? | 23:23 |
| spike_ | i am a freebsd person and am new to ubuntu's packaging system, but need to update to a later version of eglibc | 23:23 |
| unop | git__, yes, a subshell | 23:23 |
| hooge1kanobi | Trouble with the following My sab.conf file got cleared and I don't know how to recreate it. | 23:23 |
| Vampire0 | I knew those answers would come | 23:23 |
| chelz | hihihi100: it's the 9.10 default | 23:23 |
| Dazzled | hihihi100: I installed Karmic on a PC today, using EXT4 | 23:23 |
| hihihi100 | it wasnt for me, given that I had to upgrade | 23:23 |
| git__ | unop, if I want to call preceding executables, i would have to call it within the script that I had the export? | 23:23 |
| hihihi100 | and I had to install GRUB2 too | 23:23 |
| unop | git__, if you really must have the variable exported in your shell, then you need to have the script sourced by the shell i.e. source /path/to/script | 23:24 |
| hihihi100 | anyway, I cannot type to log in on ICQ... can that be related to my recent upgrade to EXT4? | 23:24 |
| bastid_raZor | spike_: you have 3 choices .. keep the current version available that the repositories offers. find a .deb of the version you want. get the source and compile the version you want manually | 23:24 |
| hcl2 | I'm trying to install from the mini.iso and the partitioner doesn't like my choices. it says it has to remove "operating sytem files" but when I click 'continue' i get booted back to the partitioner | 23:24 |
| git__ | unop, ah, i forgot about source :) | 23:24 |
| unop | git__, i'm not sure I understand that question -- try 'source' out and see if it addresses your problem, if not ask your question again | 23:25 |
| git__ | unop, you are the best | 23:25 |
| V3RR3Z | wat good mmo is on linux? | 23:25 |
| spike_ | bastid: it appears in the lucid repository there is a version of it ready to be added, but i don't know how to switch repositories, or if its even possible. | 23:25 |
| spike_ | eglibc (2.11.1-0ubuntu5) lucid; urgency=low | 23:25 |
| hcl2 | V3RR3Z: what ones aren't? | 23:25 |
| V3RR3Z | Not through wine though. | 23:25 |
| spike_ | bastid: are you sure that changing the repository to get a different version is not also an option? | 23:26 |
| joedark | Hey all. I seem to be having problems getting my resolution right in the new 10.04 beta. I already tried using xrandr with no effects. I'm running this on weird via chrome hardware, and would appreciate some help. | 23:26 |
| bastid_raZor | spike_: that is a bad idea.. you should only use the repository for your version. mixing repos will break your install. | 23:26 |
| spike_ | aha | 23:26 |
| akshaya | unop, looks like i cant get that for you. the mac thinks theres a man-in-the-middle attack because i reinstalled the server on my linux box, so the fingerprint changed, etc. and fixing that is not something my friend wants to do | 23:26 |
| spike_ | bastid: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ <--- are the .deb's here what I want, or is that from the lucid version? | 23:26 |
| akshaya | any way i could do this from the command line in a windows machine? | 23:27 |
| chelz | spike_: that would be karmic | 23:27 |
| chelz | being from the current release | 23:27 |
| bastid_raZor | spike_: that looks like it should work. now the only thing to worry about is dependency issues. | 23:27 |
| chelz | spike_: google apt-pinning and apt priority | 23:28 |
| ryan___ | V3RR3Z: Guild Wars and WoW Work fine in Wine, Vendetta Online has a Linux version, Eternal Lands... | 23:28 |
| bigtom21485 | i have banshee and it wont see my ipod which ubuntu CAN see | 23:29 |
| bigtom21485 | someone please help | 23:29 |
| hcl2 | why does the partition manager always tell me that /dev/sda5 has not been marked for formatting? | 23:29 |
| Flare183 | !ipod | bigtom21485 | 23:29 |
| ubottu | bigtom21485: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 23:29 |
| joedark | I've already tried xrandr & can't change the resolution, how do I do this? | 23:29 |
| ryan___ | bigtom21485: Known bug... it has to do with the whole hal vs udev thing... You have to make nautilus not automount to be able to use it in 9.10 | 23:29 |
| Typos_King | hcl2: check the checkbox for formatting | 23:29 |
| === itguru_ is now known as newbiedude | ||
| eremite | how do I add the "q" command for quitting a bash script? I want to be able to close the script using 'q'. | 23:30 |
| hcl2 | Typos_King: there isn't a checkbox for formatting | 23:30 |
| rww | eremite: you might have better luck asking in #bash | 23:30 |
| bastid_raZor | hcl2: is sda5 swap? | 23:31 |
| Typos_King | hcl2: you're installing, right? | 23:31 |
| Admin_ | anyone at all ? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/406735/ | 23:31 |
| hcl2 | sda6 is swap, sda5 is / | 23:31 |
| hcl2 | yes, installing from mini.iso | 23:31 |
| spike_ | yup this seems like exactly what i want | 23:32 |
| spike_ | thanks guys. | 23:32 |
| ryan___ | bigtom21485: in gconf-editor, go to /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount and uncheck the box... log out and log back in and your iPod should work in Banshee | 23:32 |
| spike_ | looking into apt-pinning now | 23:32 |
| hihihi100 | op nick | 23:32 |
| hcl2 | I already formatted it by selecting "erase all data on partition" | 23:32 |
| Typos_King | eremite: read varname; if [ $varname = 'q'] then exit fi; I'd think | 23:32 |
| hcl2 | http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1431454.html same problem as that | 23:32 |
| Typos_King | hcl2: soooo..... if it's formatted, everything is ok, no? | 23:32 |
| hcl2 | yeah, except the installer won't continue | 23:33 |
| spike_ | can i use http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/e/eglibc/ as an extra repository? | 23:33 |
| hcl2 | it says "failed to remove confliting files" and both <Go Back> and <Continue> take me to the partition editor | 23:34 |
| spike_ | like to add to sources.list, so that i can set the preferences for eglibc to come from there? | 23:34 |
| chelz | spike_: read some tutorials on apt-pinning. it's a bit tricky. | 23:34 |
| chelz | spike_: also man apt_preferences and the manpages for the other config files | 23:34 |
| owner_ | hello all!!!1 | 23:34 |
| Typos_King | hcl2: does the partition tool give you an option for 'format' /? | 23:34 |
| owner_ | i have a screen res problem | 23:34 |
| spike_ | also, what if i set the priority to the earlier linked site, then to fall back to the stable repository, since the above link ONLY contains eglibc packages (+deps), wouldn't everyting else default to the stable repository? | 23:34 |
| infid | can someone please explain to me why if sound works in flash with firefox it doesn't with chrome and vice/versa? | 23:35 |
| chelz | spike_: note that if you're not careful you can easily completely hose your system by starting a chain of updating stuff so that it doesn't boot and nothing works | 23:35 |
| chelz | spike_: yes, that's probably what you would do | 23:35 |
| spike_ | yeah thanks for the warning :p | 23:35 |
| chelz | probably going to break your system though. so. good times. | 23:35 |
| bigtom21485 | ryan___: what did changing that do? | 23:35 |
| hihihi100 | is smuxi better than xchat? | 23:35 |
| spike_ | i have to update this though, userspace applications are not properly functioning as it is due to eglibc2.1 instead of 2.11 | 23:35 |
| owner_ | my desktop is too big so im over by an inch or so al the war around | 23:36 |
| joedark | how do you change the desktop resolution? | 23:36 |
| infid | http://www.theonion.com/articles/if-you-put-your-mind-to-it-you-can-believe-anythin,17168/ | 23:36 |
| gottto | !res | owner_ | 23:36 |
| ubottu | owner_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 23:36 |
| ryan___ | bigtom21485: That means you have to go to "Places" and click on your device to get it to mount, but, it makes Banshee see my ipod (After I mount it) | 23:36 |
| Typos_King | hihihi100: 'better' is a relative term, I prefer xchat over else | 23:36 |
| chelz | Admin_: just a moment | 23:36 |
| hihihi100 | just asking,,, I installed smuxi 10 mns ago | 23:37 |
| bigtom21485 | ryan___: that didnt work | 23:37 |
| hihihi100 | for the 1st time | 23:37 |
| Admin_ | thank you chelz | 23:37 |
| hihihi100 | i may try xchat | 23:37 |
| spike_ | now i'm scared, maybe i'd be better off just manually compiling eglibc's latest version | 23:37 |
| chelz | Admin_: what is the brand and model number of your computer? | 23:37 |
| owner_ | the resolution i need is not an option in the nividia control pannel | 23:37 |
| picard1421 | hey guys im looking for a program that will act as a like VNC or RDP server?? | 23:37 |
| Admin_ | Lenovo G550 | 23:37 |
| spike_ | i'm compiled a million things before and am comfortable with that/compiling dependancies manually, its just the package management system that i'm unfamiliar with. | 23:37 |
| Typos_King | hihihi100: xchat and xchat-gnome are not the same ones per se, the one I 'prefer' is xchat itself :P | 23:37 |
| Typos_King | fyi | 23:38 |
| chelz | spike_: the only way to learn with stuff like this is to do. you could try playing in a VM or on another partition before doing it to your main system | 23:38 |
| hcl2 | okay, sda5 is all broken now, "cannot find valid filesystem or superblock" from tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 | 23:38 |
| picard1421 | basically i want to create a server that ic an login via a GUI into a place and see a list of people i can connect to via VNC or W/e. They will obviously have a client installed on their machine.. | 23:38 |
| spike_ | That's a good idea. THis is my only ubuntu server, everything else is fbsd/obsd, which i have am very familiar with the package management. But I guess it cannot hurt to learn. | 23:38 |
| owner_ | it worked in windows by adjusting the "zoom" | 23:38 |
| owner_ | im hoked to a 55" tv | 23:39 |
| picard1421 | i can acess this via like a webconsole or something... but in the end the people will install software so i can work on their computers or somewhat to logmein Rescue.. but opensource server for linux? | 23:39 |
| hihihi100 | ill try both and choose one | 23:39 |
| owner_ | hdmi | 23:39 |
| picard1421 | is there anything like this that exists? | 23:39 |
| bigtom21485 | typos_king: i think its something wrong with banshee because ubuntu sees it, and tells banshee to pen as i told ubuntu to do | 23:39 |
| joedark | does anyone know where the Xorg.conf file is in 10.04? | 23:39 |
| spike_ | Guess its time to connect to vcenter and setup a virtual machine :p | 23:39 |
| bigtom21485 | but then banshee sits there like my ipod isnt there | 23:39 |
| chelz | Admin_: are you on ubuntu 9.10? | 23:39 |
| ryan___ | bigtom21485: remove your ipod, then open a terminal and run "killall -9 nautilus" then plug your ipod in. Then press alt + f2, you should get a run prompt and type in "nautilus" | 23:39 |
| Admin_ | yes ubuntu 9.10 32-bit | 23:39 |
| spike_ | Thanks for the help, its appreciated | 23:39 |
| Typos_King | joedark: run a -> locate Xorg.conf; | 23:40 |
| joedark | Typos_King: would that be in terminal? | 23:40 |
| chelz | Admin_: was it a new install or an upgrade? and did it not work initially? | 23:40 |
| bigtom21485 | its saying "nautilus: no process found" | 23:40 |
| O|O|O|O|O|O | is there a way for me to get internet from my laptop (Vista-wireless) to my ubuntu computer? | 23:40 |
| linusoleander | I'm trying to use an public key to connect to a nother computer, the strange thing is that I get this error: | 23:40 |
| linusoleander | agent admitted failure to sing using the key | 23:40 |
| linusoleander | Any ideas? | 23:40 |
| spike_ | How do i figure out exactly what version of ubuntu i'm running so i can make sure to install the same one in my vm? | 23:40 |
| hcl2 | wow, this partitioner is all messed up. it said it was going to use sda5 as ext3, but when I went to change it, the default value jumped to swap | 23:40 |
| Typos_King | joedark: btw, is all caps last I recall, xorg.conf, yes in terminal, mind you 9.1 didn't make one by default, though you could make or use one | 23:40 |
| AhmadASG | I have problem in netbeans ,,, I can not use CTRL button !! :) | 23:40 |
| hcl2 | so, i re selected ext3 | 23:41 |
| Admin_ | new install and it worked right out of the box but the system would crash from time to time | 23:41 |
| Typos_King | all lowercase I meant | 23:41 |
| ryan___ | bigtom21485: Er... are you sure you spelled it right...? lol... Or are you using Kubuntu? | 23:41 |
| chelz | spike_: cat /etc/lsb-release | 23:41 |
| hihihi100 | well, xchat seems to be easier to use... | 23:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | spike_, lsb_release -a in a terminal | 23:41 |
| joedark | Typos_King: thanks a ton, let me check on that. I need to change my resolution & xrandr didn't help | 23:41 |
| hcl2 | same thing with sda6 and swap | 23:41 |
| infid | can someone please explain to me why if sound works in flash with firefox it doesn't with chrome and vice/versa? | 23:41 |
| harisund | http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/X+Tile?content=99624 Why is this not in the repos? Is the only way to install it to download it? | 23:41 |
| hcl2 | seems like it can only handle 1 partition type change per install attempt | 23:42 |
| chelz | Admin_: did you install the proprietary Broadcom STA Driver through the ubuntu utility? | 23:42 |
| bigtom21485 | im using ubuntu | 23:42 |
| HughJass | Hi, I'm trying to install samba for Karmic Koala and the packages aren't found using apt-get. Any suggestions? | 23:42 |
| O|O|O|O|O|O | is there a way for me to get internet from my laptop (Vista-wireless) to my ubuntu9.10 computer? | 23:42 |
| Typos_King | infid: can you explain further? | 23:42 |

| hfdhfdhfdhdff | Hi, what port does ubuntus software manager use because I blacklisted all ports except irc and it snuck through my firewall! this scares me | 23:42 |
| AhmadASG | I need help here :) ,,, I have problem in netbeans ,,, I can not use CTRL button | 23:43 |
| hfdhfdhfdhdff | all i had open was port 80, 443, and 8001 | 23:43 |
| === idiot is now known as Guest34251 | ||
| IdleOne | HughJass: any errors? | 23:43 |
| Admin_ | no cause my wireless card is not a Broadcom | 23:43 |
| rww | hfdhfdhfdhdff: 80 | 23:43 |
| Matisse | i removed some old kernel versions, but there remained something in the grub boot menu and some files in /boot. do i have to remove some other packages or was the option "remove" wrong (instead of "purge")? | 23:43 |
| chelz | harisund: http://open.vitaminap.it/en/x_tile.htm#downl - the deb should work | 23:43 |
| Admin_ | i'm using Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection | 23:43 |
| bigtom21485 | any know how to fix banshee so it can see an ipod | 23:43 |
| rww | hfdhfdhfdhdff: it just downloads packages off of webservers... | 23:43 |
| Typos_King | scarra3: I think you need to install -> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config | 23:43 |
| bigtom21485 | how hard can this be? its only the reson why we make an mp3 player for computers | 23:43 |
| chelz | Admin_: were you prompted to install the driver? | 23:43 |
| === joesphbailey is now known as administrator | ||
| HughJass | IdleOne, Yes it gives me 404 errors for all the packages it is trying to download from security.ubuntu.com | 23:44 |

| arand | scarra3: make sure ntfsprogs are installed | 23:44 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest41821 | ||
| hfdhfdhfdhdff | thanks... that scared me i thought someone comprimised my computer | 23:44 |
| Admin_ | no, no prompt at all | 23:44 |
| hfdhfdhfdhdff | what things can i do to make ubuntu more secure | 23:44 |
| chelz | Admin_: connect using the ethernet cable, go to System > Administration > Hardware drivers and pick the Broadcom STA wireless driver and activate it. then restart and your wireless should work. | 23:44 |
| IdleOne | HughJass: try changing server in System > Administration > Software sources | 23:44 |
| Typos_King | Matisse: you want them out of the grub menu? why not just edit the template that makes grub.cfg and adds them, /etc/default/grub | 23:45 |
| IdleOne | HughJass: then click the reload button when asked and sudo apt-get install samba | 23:45 |
| chelz | Admin_: intel wireless cards contain chips in them. these chips can be broadcom. | 23:45 |
| Dhrystone | Hi. I'm a total n00b to Ubuntu, and unable to get a Windows shared drive mounted. | 23:45 |
| Guest41821 | well you can download a firewall pro so that no hackers get into your computer | 23:46 |
| Matisse | Typos_King, already did that, but i want to get rid of the never-anymore-needed files too | 23:46 |
| chelz | Admin_: since the actual manufacturer of the card usually doesn't matter, people distinguish wireless cards with the manufacturer of the chips | 23:46 |
| Typos_King | Matisse: though I think the fact it finds the files in /boot is what 'adds' them from the template, try 'moving' the vmlinuz-... files you don't want from boot and do annother update-grub, to see what it produces | 23:46 |
| Admin_ | ok i am using my hard wire connection atm i will try that but to be clear my wireless has always worked fine just something called | 23:46 |
| Dhrystone | I can't seem to get the Network folder to show my Windows network. | 23:46 |
| hfdhfdhfdhdff | matisse im using firestarter is that good? i want a firewall which will BLACKLIST EVERYTHING unless i say its ok | 23:46 |
| Admin_ | wpa_supplicant causes my system to crash it's a well known bug | 23:46 |
| infid | Typos_King: sound randomly stops working in firefox, which makes me have to go use chrome when i want to view a flash movie. and when sound randomly stops working in chrome i have to open firefox. | 23:46 |
| === Guest41821 is now known as joesph | ||
| Dhrystone | I get some firewall error, but I don't have a Firewall icon in System>Administration. | 23:47 |
| hfdhfdhfdhdff | matisse right now inbound traffic i dont think its blacklisted | 23:47 |
| chelz | Admin_: how did you determine that? | 23:47 |
| Admin_ | in the ubuntu fourms | 23:47 |
| Admin_ | everyone says to change the wpa to wep | 23:47 |
| Admin_ | and it solves it | 23:47 |
| Matisse | Matisse, youre talking to the wrong one | 23:47 |
| HughJass | IdleOne, thanks a lot, worked great. | 23:47 |
| Admin_ | but i figured by now there must be a bug fix out | 23:48 |
| Dazzled | Admin_: are you running Karmic? | 23:48 |
| chelz | Admin_: this seems to be a bug for it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/468519 | 23:48 |
| Admin_ | yes ubuntu 9.10 32-bit | 23:49 |
| IdleOne | HughJass: happy to help | 23:49 |
| Typos_King | infid: not sure.... I've never had that myself.... a plugin that works only now and then.... I'd think something is wrong with the plugin installation or the plugin itself | 23:49 |
| chelz | Admin_: you can get a launchpad account and click on "Subscribe/Unsubscribe" to be notified for changes in that bug. | 23:49 |
| Admin_ | so there is no fix out yet ? | 23:49 |
| joesph | how do you get the mac user name and password as administrator | 23:49 |

| Nijverheid | any of you know your way around xampp in ubuntu? I got the software downloaded and extracted no problem, but I keep getting the page saying "It works! The server is running but there is no content yet". if I try to go to http://localhost/xampp/ it tells me the page cannot be found :/ any idea what's up? | 23:49 |
| Admin_ | you think ubuntu 10.04 will be ok ? | 23:50 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 23:50 |
| chelz | Admin_: you did a good job checking the forums. if there are fixes they usually are outlined there. the other place to look is in bugreports | 23:50 |
| Typos_King | joesph: not sure you can get it, all you can do is reset the password, but that'd be in macOSX | 23:50 |
| Admin_ | thank you chelz | 23:51 |
| Admin_ | so i have no choice to use web the less secure | 23:51 |
| Typos_King | joesph: feel free to kindly summon the 'user' and ask him :), that's another way | 23:51 |
| Admin_ | wep* | 23:51 |
| chelz | Admin_: i am not sure about 10.04. upgrading is a good idea so either way i recommend you upgrade and find out. | 23:51 |
| chelz | Admin_: or ethernet. make sure you have mac address filtering enabled at least | 23:51 |
| Admin_ | yes i will upgrade when 10.04 is stable on april 29th | 23:52 |
| jkd4 | how do you completely remove flash cookies as well as the flash program and plug-ins from your system, including removing it from all browsers? | 23:52 |
| joesph | we gotta find out HELPPPPP | 23:52 |
| Nijverheid | jkd4: there's usually options within the browsers themselves to remove all cookies | 23:53 |
| ActionParsnip | jkd4: bleachbit will remove the flash temp stuff. If you run: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l |grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf you can remove the flash packages there | 23:53 |

| guyforget | ok, i will just find the regular flash plugin and replace it. thanks for your help | 23:58 |

| chelz | ravibn: is your mouse able to move off of the screen? seemingly past the border of your monitor? | 23:58 |
| ActionParsnip | ravibn: do you mean the bar on top of application windows? | 23:59 |
| Typos_King | dementorrr: that means you need to set up you .php extensions to be handled by the php module in apache, I think that is in httpd.conf, is the AddHandler directive | 23:59 |
| ravibn | chelz: yes! I can do that | 23:59 |
| ActionParsnip | ryan_: what release are you using? | 23:59 |
