jaydeebecause internet is to low\00:30
jeff_hannjaydee, I'm not sure I understand00:30
ScuniziLosha: because samba server is running on my machine.. when I create a folder or file within the samba share nobody else has write access to those items.. they can read but not write.. I'm trying to get it so when I create something it's universally read/write.. that's my major stumbling block.00:30

isaac_WARNING:  The following question is going to make you ask yourself, "Who would want that and why?"00:42
isaac_Is there a way to make Ubuntu reboot itself every say...... two hours or so?00:42
ScuniziLosha: what I've been told is if on my machine I haven't mounted the samba share with cifs or smbfs then my system permissions structure takes over.. If I mount the share as smbfs then samba's configs are suppose to take over the control of the permissions..00:42
psionI have UNR installed on this netbook and while I disabled screen dimming in the options, it keeps doing so.  is there another location to modify power options?00:42
sebsebsebLosha: uh yeah00:42

Hajuudblur: If you're using ubuntu-server you should be in #ubuntu-server00:51
Hajuudblur: for a media server, it is often ideal to install your OS on an ext3 partition, but then use a seperate NTFS partition for storing media.00:52
HajuuThis ensures that both windows and linux computers can directly use the media storage00:52

Hajuuthus why I suggested it00:53
Hajuu:)00:53
Guest81452Hajuu: ntfs-3g00:53
HajuuTell it to dblur not to me :P00:54
LoshaScunizi: interesting. I don't see outmask in my 8.04 man pages...00:54
dblurGuest81452 : ok, what about ntfs-3g?00:55
=== EarthStar is now known as Plasmastar
Jordan_Udblur: The ntfs support is completely stable and safe, the only catch is that there is no fsck for ntfs, so if it gets unmounted uncleanly you may have to run chkdsk from a windows machine before you can mount it again.00:55
ScuniziLosha: ownmask .. it's in the man mount file .. the dir_mode and file_mode options are in the man mount.cifs file00:55
Hajuudblur: that's the apt package for installing read/write ntfs support00:55
dblursupports "Windows NT[citation needed]" -wikipedia00:55
psusiHajuu, should be using ext4 these days00:55
Hajuupsusi: Not always, only if you need the extra features it brings.00:55
HajuuExtra features = extra bulk00:55
Hajuuand for a system partition, thats not a good thing unless you require it for something.00:56
psusiHajuu, no, the new features actually make for a faster filesystem that wastes less space00:56
braxUgh, I thought I had a good idea today but someone had already taken it: theQuestion = (2*B)|!(2*B)00:56
HajuuIf you say so :P00:56
Jordan_UHajuu: define "bulk"00:56
thirdwatchhello00:56
Hajuuas far as im aware it references far more information from the file table every request than ext300:56
psusiI do say so ;)00:57
Hajuuwhich on a server especially creates a large amount more load.00:57
nsadminyou don't say?00:57

=== Ivan747 is now known as Troll
dblurseems like the answer was ntfs, thx a lot.00:58
psusiyou have that backwards hajuu... ext3 has to explicitly list every block a file contains, which for files larger than 12 blocks means it has to start allocating more data blocks just to hold block numbers... ext4 just writes the start block and length in the inode... much faster and uses less space00:58
Jordan_UHajuu: No, extends mean that much less metadata is required in general.00:58
LoshaScunizi: not sure those options in mount will apply to cifs...00:58

pyropheliaI just compiled a 2.6.33.2 kernel and my ide drive is now showing up as /dev/sdk  (yes I have that many sata disks.)  The problem is I like have my IDE boot disk listed in /dev/ as /dev/hda*.  what do I need to change in my kernel config to get this back to the way it was02:36
ActionParsnipIdleOne: np man02:36
ActionParsnipIdleOne: you shouldnt need it much but if you want hibernate etc you'll need it02:36
Jordan_Upyrophelia: Is there a particular reason you care about the device name?02:37
ActionParsnipIdleOne: set a low vm.swappiness too ;)02:37
pyropheliaJordan_U, I have 45 Sata disks in this system.  It would be nice to be able to seperate the ide disk from the sata :)02:37
ActionParsnipIdleOne: keeps your apps in ram rather than useing swap02:37
Jordan_Upyrophelia: /dev/disk/by-path/ ?02:37
pyropheliaJordan_U, I think you missed the point.02:38
emgomezdoes anyone want to try tackling a really fun printer problem? the syslog is here: http://pastebin.com/prVt1YGr02:38
pyropheliaJordan_U, I know there is an option I have over looked in the kernel config that labels ide disks as hd instead of sd but I'm not sure which one it is.02:38

ActionParsnipDavidJHeinrich: i'd use a seperate sound card, less heartache. i havent seen many success stories with hdmi02:41
DavidJHeinrichActionParsnip: yea, I already ave the Xonar, so I'm just wonderin'02:41
emgomezActionParsnip, updating/reinstalling hplip didn't work, hotplugging didn't work (at this point, the autosetup isn't even working anymore). we tried hplip and updating the foo driver, which is what it's currently using. i think there's something more fundamentally wrong, but i don't know what and don't really understand the syslog too well02:42

ray-ircI just install ubuntu 9.04 desktop and then updated it to 9.10 but it will not boot now. It shows grub text then the screen goes blank and the LCD monitor power stays green so blank video must be going to it. I can press ESC and any other text boot does the same. Any one know how to fix this so it will boot?03:20

candy_sebsebseb, whats that, tell me.. will give a try03:56
ActionParsnipubergamer: no, log onto the pc as a different user to see if the issue is profile based03:57
candy_Ken8521, will that be as fast as real one03:57
candy_sebsebseb, what?03:57
ubergamer ActionParsnip:stand by03:57
sebsebsebcandy_: also I really do mean "try"  when I suggest doing Ubuntu inside Windows in a virtual machine.  Realy useauly it should be Windows inside Ubuntu, not the other way round.03:57
Ken8521candy_, i'm personally not a fan of wubi, but i dont see any reason it would be any slower/faster than a normal install.. but I belive it is far more problematic.. i would not do it03:57
candy_Ken8521, I am afraid so...03:58
Ken8521candy_, you have to be missing something on the boot sequence... like others said, maybe you need to hit f12 or something like that, to call up the boot order03:58
Ken8521candy_, can really only discover that though, w/ the make/model fo the pc03:58
candy_Ken8521, I tried all.. its not coming03:59
sebsebsebcandy_: Wubi it seems can only read the Windows files, not write to them.  Also it may be a tiny bit slower than a proper partitioned install, but other than that, when it works, I guess it's ok really03:59
Ken8521candy_, delete or esc maybe03:59
charles__candy .... you can put the hard drive into a computer that will boot from cd .... install ubuntu ... and then put the drive back in first machine03:59
candy_Ken8521, will check that..wait a sec i ll ask the model of pc.. just a sec03:59

sebsebsebmdel: the program you install security updates from, will probably tell you at the bottom, that a new release is available04:02
mdelKen8521: i guess a better question is.... is it like windows, where a fresh install is better?04:02
sebsebsebmdel: that depends on the version of Ubuntu you currently have installed, to some extent04:02
Ken8521mdel, personally i think so.. some may beg to differ04:02
mdel9.1004:02
sebsebsebmdel: ok and was 9.10 a clean install?04:02

sebsebsebmdel: however,  I woudn't bother untill like 1st May, since  download servers will be packed to begin with04:03
mdelthen it would be easy to fresh install04:03
sebsebsebmdel: and so rather slow04:03
ZykoticK9mdel, stress the *should* be fine04:03

dotnet41Can anyone here confirm that the following will NOT make changes to your existing install: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76652 (apparently you run the cd installer and manually partition without formatting and then you get the option of reinstalling grub)04:29
zordoi'm having some weird wireless connection problems with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 nbr on my eeepc1000h. It works for about 20mins and then the connection breaks and it keeps asking for wpa-key. It takes about ten tries to get a succesful connection. I'm guessing it's a driver issue but the only useful thing i can find by googling is the ralink package from their site, and i'm not sure wether i should even try installing it04:29
helo_it appears that .img are only provided for obscure platforms... why?04:29

dotnet41why doesnt the bios handle the os boot menus - seems like it should be part of its job05:22
ActionParsnipGuest57964: there is no special command05:22
ActionParsnipdotnet41: the bios' job is to setup the hardware and kickoff the boot on the selected device only. the os boot menu is not in the bios05:23
ubuntuthe bios cannot keep up with all the new OSes, and it is hard to update.05:23

dotnet41couldn't the bios run something similar to grub that would allow config calls to set it up?05:24
Jordan_Udotnet41: The BIOS does not, and should not, have enough logic to create a suitably sophisticated menu for all OS's (including new ones that came out long after the BIOS was manufactured)05:24
dotnet41well I know currently it couldn't...05:24
xiaogangyourenzaima05:24
ActionParsnipGuest57964: looks fine05:24
xiaogangna ge ren zai shuo hua05:25
ActionParsnipdotnet41: there is BIOSLinux which puts some of the OS in the BIOS, it can be risky though and you may brick your motherboard indefinately05:25
Guest57964dotnet41: Nope the bios is only a 8mb Small Cache chip on your motherboard even if it COULD run something like grub it wouldn't have the space05:25
Guest57964ActionParsnip: Output http://pastebin.com/fBWg0GSQ05:26
Jordan_Udotnet41: EFI is trying to put more logic in the firmware and it's almost universally dispised by bootloader and kernel developers because of its bugs and oddities.05:26

Out_ColdClorox: mount the ntfs drive with proper permissions before you copy? i seen something on ubuntu forums about that..06:11
charles__Clorox .... where are you copying to?  you need to copy to a directory you have the permisions .... such as your home folder06:12
dr3mrozetheroo, small files are slower to copy even in windows or mac ... and why you use ext3 .. EXT4 is far superior even in latest benchamrks it was't in bar with it but I use it and get more performance than ext3 ... NTFS causes CPU high usage ... I suggest to have EXT4 for all systems ... and it will be fast ... for the small text files and html try to archive then using tar06:13

nikofyodoWhy weren't they included on the disk?06:15

zetheroodr3mro: also while this coying is happening my system seems to be acting a bit jerky like it's busy ... but their is about 3GB of ram free and the cpu is at 15% and under ...06:16

cage_rapheli would like to know how i can view my ubuntu 9.1 grub menu as soon as i reboot my system.. i want my system to directly take me to the grub menu so that i can choose the other OS installed in my system. i tried giving ESC when the system boots.. but that does not take me to the Grub menu06:35
chris4585cage_raphel, I believe you hold down shift in grub206:35
chris4585cage_raphel, try holding down shift right after bios loads06:36
BearmanHi, every time I startup my computer i manually have to enable wireless network. Should this not be an autostart? Im using UNR 9.1006:36
rwwcage_raphel: I think it's the shift key too. If you want it to show up every time, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Where%20did%20my%20Grub2%20boot%20menu%20go!?!?!06:36
cage_raphelthats amazing.. let me check and get back to u both.. thank you chris4585 and rww.06:37
chris4585Bearman, I think you can set your wireless network on autostart if you look in the network applet or something like that06:37
raddyHello Everybody06:38
rwwBearman: what do you do to enable it? Click on the Network applet and select a network, or right-click it and click Enable Wireless (or Enable Networking)?06:38
raddyCan anybody tell me whether i can install ubuntu to a native partition when i follow unetbootin's frugal install method?06:38
Bearmanrww, yes, I know. the problem is that i have to do this everytime at startup, I would like it to enable my Wireless automatically.06:39
chris4585raddy, as far as I know, unetbootin works with fat32 partitions06:40
belusrww,  Seems like I have another question about that sd card...I wrote information on it and clicked eject....now it says I have to wait for the system to write something on it to prevent data loss...what is this?06:40
rwwBearman: I'm asking which of those two you do? They're both supposed to be automatic, and which you're having to do manually would tell me which setting we need to change.06:40
belusrww,  And it seems endlessly ....:)the bar goes left and right ....06:40
Bearmanrww, i have to right click the applet an tick the "enable wireless" box.06:41
belusrww,  I wrote 1,7gb on it, is this why i have to wait that long?06:41
rwwbelus: When you tell the computer to write data to an external drive, it sometimes caches it instead of writing it right away. If you tell it to eject before everything is written, that'll pop up. SD cards aren't that fast, so it sometimes takes a little while to finish writing.06:41
rwwbelus: yes, that'd do it :)06:41

rocket16Hello all,06:48
crash1hdHey all so last week I turfed and reinstalled one of my xp machines and now my putty is complaining that its missing its private key to connect to my ubuntu box.  Is there anyone out there that can tell me a quick way of either recreating or getting the private key again?06:48
rocket16By the way, is there any Chemistry Equation Editor for Ubuntu?06:48
cage_raphelchris4585, thanks for that info again .. but i have no clue how to update the menu.lst. would u like to take a look at my menu.lst file?06:49
chris4585cage_raphel, first, are you booted into ubuntu?06:49
rwwcrash1hd: You can't recreate private SSH keys. You'd need to generate a new keypair and upload it to your ubuntu box, the same way you did originally.06:49
rocket16crash1hd: Private Key? Sorry if I misunderstood, but is it the Password you're talking about there?06:49
Bearmanrww,  the install is fresh from yesterday so I have not had time to mess things up06:49
cage_raphelchris4585, yes i am on ubuntu now06:50
rocket16crash1hd: Oh, sorry. Seems like I misunderstood., :(06:50
crash1hdrww, ok hmm any reference as to how to do that quick (I am on the ubuntu box now)06:50
rwwBearman: Has it always acted like that, or did it work when you first installed?06:50
cage_raphelchris4585, if i am not wrong .. this is the command to access the menu.lst..... sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst . is that the correct one ?06:50
crash1hdand do I have to remove anything to do this06:50
crash1hdlike the old public key?06:50
Bearmanrww, no. it never worked06:50
rwwcrash1hd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys for the Ubuntu side. I don't know how to do the PuTTY side.06:51
chris4585cage_raphel, open a terminal by going to Applications > Accessories > Terminal then type sudo update-grub06:51
crash1hdrww, thankyou :)06:51
chris4585cage_raphel, that does look like the right command, but you don't have to do it manually I think06:51
cage_raphelchris4585,  ok .. done.06:51
cage_raphelchris4585, would u like to see the output of what i have got here after running the command?06:52
rwwBearman: Do you have the same problem if you boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD?06:52
rocket16How can we restore the Ubuntu Login Screen? I tickled it with GDM2Setup, and made a mess, :( Should I uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu-Login-Screen?06:52
Bearmanrww, I think so.06:52
chris4585cage_raphel, in the output does it mention anything about opensolaris?06:53
rocket16Bearman: Friend, mind if I know what is the problem? I just joined, and may be I could do a little help, :)06:53
cage_raphelchris4585, no.. no such thing is mentioned.. i would appreciate if you can quickly go thro this output. shall i send the output to u in a private chat.. looks like i cant paste here.06:54

(I dislike signing up on multiple websites.)06:58
Bearmanrocket16, Sorry, that option is already ticked.06:58
Name141Oh I found 8.04 LTS.  That's hardy?06:58
frankie_is it bad that i tried opensuse, ubuntu and linuxmint and not really notice any major differences between them ??06:59
rwwName141: yup06:59
Name141I would assume soon as the next LTS is out, hardy will be dead?06:59
chris4585frankie_, no thats not bad06:59
Name141for security updates, etc?06:59
Bearmanrocket16, rww, my time is running up. Thanks for the help anyway.07:00
rwwName141: LTS releases are supported for three years on desktop computers and five years on servers. Hardy came out in April 2008.07:00
rocket16Bearman: I got the answer, check here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63604507:00
rocket16Bearman: I think that might help, :)07:00
Name141rww: OK.  So I could put hardy on the machine now, but I probably would want whatever the next LTS is coming out in a few days?07:00
rwwName141: Also, you can upgrade straight from Hardy to Lucid when it comes out (since they're both LTS), rather than having to go through the versions in between like you would with Jaunty.07:01
frankie_chris4585 : that is good ! i did notice the difference between KDE and gnome, I do like gnome but my partner was impressed with KDE widgets, but opensuse was a bit more frustrating to get hardware to work :P07:01
rwwName141: I'd wait a few months to let them shake the bugs out, but yeah, you'd want to upgrade at some point.07:01
Name141rww: Ok.  I'll just put the LTS on there then instead of 9.1007:01
Bearmanrocket16, thanks. I will have a go with that in the afternoon. Now I have to prepare an interview.. :)07:02
rocket16Bearman: Sure, Goodluck, :)07:02
rwwName141: alright. I'll have the channel bot send you a link to the upgrade instructions for when you decide to do that.07:02

hardran3Doyle, try the 10.1 rc of flash. runs much smoother on my netbook.07:13

Name141rww: I'm assuming to have gazillions of GB's of updates I will have to download after installing Hardy since it's so old?07:13
theadminName141: Nope, you can upgrade straight to Lucid (LTS to LTS upgrades are way possible)07:14
rwwName141: Depends on which type of Hardy CD you have. LTSes get point releases (8.04.1, 8.04.2, etc.) with update rollups.07:14
Name141rww: I just found the original 8.0407:14
rwwtheadmin: I think Name141 means updates from hardy release to the current version of hardy07:14

Wrenwise_crypt: Don't follow, what do you mean?09:22
mikelissstrings_: Well, right now, it has 127.0.0.1 going to localhost, and my static IP going to the hostname. I tried changing the hostname that the static IP is pointing to, and that broke things. So I'm trying to avoid that.09:23
theadminazlon: RC, not beta. But second one sounds like a better idea09:23
wise_cryptWren: you have answer it nevermind09:23
azlontheadmin, got it. thanks.09:23
theadminazlon: Unless you use RAID or Compiz often, because due to certain bugs, with them system becomes hardly usable09:23
azlontheadmin: actually the reason i am formatting is to recove a RAID-5 (fake-raid)09:23

azlontheadmin: whats the deal with RAID in 10.04? something to stay away from for a while?09:25
mikelissstrings_: I need the current functionality, but with a new name for the machine. Not sure what hosts that involves aside from localhost.09:25
icerootWren: use tab on the shell for completion09:25
WrenLike i said, even rm or mv on the xorg.conf file doesn't do anything, says i don't have permission, the moment i try sudo it states "-bash: /usr/bin/python: No such file or directory"09:25
theadminazlon: Read the rc page on Ubuntu.com, has a clean explanation. Can't remember off top of my head09:25

GalerienDid anyone tried the 10.04 yet? How stable is it?11:26
Xeross_Galerien: Tried it before, using it again now, seems to work pretty nicely and boots like lightning11:27
moetunesXeross_: the try it or install it is the live one - it gives an icon on the desktop to install hence the :install" part11:27
GalerienXeross_: How long do you need to boot? (and what's your processor?)11:27
Xeross_Galerien: Well I don't know the exact boot times but it's a lot faster then 9.10 and that's on a persistant usb install11:28
moetuness/:install/"install"11:28

DryGrainYounder, thanks! ncftp worked like a charm :)11:33
Xeross_moetunes: Why would I need to install it after setting it up as a persistent USB, wouldn't that make it a normal install instead of a usb install with additional startup scripts11:33

greezmunkeywookienz: Is this in a domain environment?14:56

malcolmhello everyone14:57
pznllutz, thanks!!!14:57
wookienzgreezmunkey: no14:57
llutzpzn: but why don't you use tar, saves a lot of space/time14:57
malcolmI'm loving the new look of ubuntu14:57
wookienzpzn i think dd might be more your thing14:57
h00kpzn: you might want to check out 'dd' and you can pipe it to a file14:57
malcolmhowever have an issue with my display - ATI14:57
greezmunkeywookienz: How does the NAS *know* you?14:58
parkieso does catting something just  copy it as a binary file(folders and files).. just like cp?14:58
LzrdKingpnzyou can use dd and pipe it through gzip too14:58
swebPici, vbox need BIOS configure for using hardware simulation14:58
malcolmseems the standard/basic drivers allowed for the "higher performance transtions"14:58
llutzdd has "of=" no need to pipe14:58
pznwookienz, h00k: yes, 'dd' will be smarter than cat >14:58
malcolmi've installed that lastest ATI drivers, but now I dont get the fantasy transitions14:58
malcolm:(14:58
wookienzgreezmunkey: i mount with -ouser=me,password=pass etc so it allows me to mount14:58
Picisweb: You're asking about configuring vbox.  Surely vbox's support channel would know more about that than we would.14:58
LzrdKingpzn: you can use dd and pipe it through gzip too14:58
LzrdKingparkie: if you cat a device like /dev/sda1, it will cat the raw disk14:58
llutzparkie: cat /dev/sda  does nearly the same as dd14:58
pznllutz, don't want to have problem with userids/groups and extended posix permissions... I don't think tar handles them.14:59
wookienzcan you just "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/image" ?14:59

pznCarpeDiem, that will change all the filenames, maybe you can copy and run "find" later. it may be slow, but it works. that is the line: find /some/path/ -type f -exec mv '{}' '{}.bac' ';'15:03

PiciDravekx: Then, you can either add a folder to /etc/skel/ or have the users manually create the public_html folder in their home directory.  Just as long as www-data has read access to it (chmod o+r) then they will be able to get to it by going to server.com/~username16:01

djoefHi, I have 2 sets of files, all files contain approximately 2400 lines that contain tab delimited values. I want to couple the corresponding files. The right couple of files can be found because there is a major overlap in data there. (although in the first set more tab delimited values are present per line compared with the second set)16:02
djoefcan this be done through terminal commands ? Or should I write a program for this16:02
djoefin short, is there a command that compares files in 2 folders and gives you how similar certain files are, or how much "data" of file 1 can be found in file 216:04

cage_raphelsebsebseb, this is what my grub menu shows.. /dev/sda1 - xfs file system -- ubuntu is installed..17:03
dima-linuxi wanted to sync wubi with ubuntu..17:03
geekphreakdima-linux: should have uninstalled wubi first , if you were dual booting17:03
sebsebsebcage_raphel: I am trying to find out if you actsauly got Grub 2 since you didn't answer that.  Clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 you get Grub 2 by default,  upgrades from 9.04 people still have the old Grub.  Anyway apparantly ( and actsually one of the  o p s of this channel told me this before) there is an issue when it comes to Ubuntu 9.10's version of Grub 2,  resulting in people not being able to just boot up other Linux distro's from it.  Yes17:03
sebsebsebSolaris insa't a Linux distro, but I guess it will be effected by the same issue.17:03
geekphreakummm ok17:03

dima-linuxbut i need data from wubi... how can i get back in wubi??17:04
cage_raphelsebsebseb, ahh! ok .. how do i find out if i have grub 2 on my system?17:04
geekphreakdima-linux: when you choose windows , what menu yo get?17:04
dima-linuxi get the ubuntu and windows xp menu17:04
cage_raphelsebsebseb, i do have startup manager installed ..17:05
sebsebsebcage_raphel: well as I already said,  by default Ubuntu 9.10 clean installs get it.17:05
sebsebsebcage_raphel: if you installed from say the Ubuntu 9.10 CD, then yes you will have Grub 2 by default17:05
dima-linuxbut no wubi, it was 9.10 and ubuntu is 9.04 thats why i know, there is no wubi17:05
sebsebsebdima-linux: yeah you should have probably really uninstalled Wubi first before dual booting17:05
cage_raphelsebsebseb, yes thats right.. i installed ubuntu 9.10 directly from the live cd.. so  i should be having Grub 2.. sounds good then.. but could u pls tell me how to add my solaris to my grub menu?'17:06

sebsebsebcage_raphel: Apparantly only Ubuntu's Grub 2 has the issue I was on about,  where as the upstream Grub 2 would be ok.  Anyway with the old Grub it was nice and easy to boot up other OS's from it as well,  where as this doesn't quite seem to be the case with the new version.  I don't know enough about Grub 2 to be able to be able to help you properly,  I just wanted you to be aware that there may be an actsual proper issue,  oh and i'll get the bot17:08
sebsebsebto give you the Grub 2 link.  Stick around though and someone else may be able to help you properly.17:08

iamlenekoPici, i mean i can't have only 582Mo free on 2Go17:20
itercage_raphel: run solaris in a vm17:20
llutziamleneko: +/- buffers line, "free" 2nd value17:20
sebsebsebcage_raphel: dual boots are a bit sucky really though,  virtual machines on the other hand :)  if a computer can handle it. e.g. enough RAM17:20
iamlenekollutz, thanks17:20
itercage_raphel: solaris x86 is finicky about network cards17:20
pranay_09hi , i am unable to edit the fstab file even as a root17:21

pranay_09earlier i had added an entry for a windows partition in it , everything was working fine except a drive was not mounte17:22
geekphreakpranay_09: what error?17:22
iamleneko565 Mo ram used with only xchat and a gnome-terminal is reasonable ?17:22
cage_raphelsebsebseb, well said.. unfortunately i have only  768 Mb ram.. thats the reason i feel vm would slow down .. and i prefer a dual boot17:22
geekphreakpranay_09:  can you pastebin the error ?17:22
Picifrxstrem: Thats a great question.  It appears that you can do that with: find -L / -samefile /path/to/file17:23
pranay_09geekphreak: failed to mount a drive17:23
sebsebsebcage_raphel: yeah probably with that amount of RAM vm's will be a bit slow or something17:23
geekphreakpranay_09: what i meant was , what error you get when you try to open fstab17:23
cage_raphelsebsebseb, yes17:23
sebsebsebcage_raphel: then again it seems certian vm's will work  ok and not that slow with 512MB17:24

pranay_09geekphreak: it says read-only file17:24
pranay_09a windows ntfs17:24
cage_raphelsebsebseb, hmm.. but is there no way out to add it to the grub menu? i feel that would be  a lot more easier than running a vm17:24

BluesKajstreet_dvd, you shouldn't be asking me , I'm an alsa purist so to speak17:28

llutzcage_raphel: imho yes17:52
sebsebsebShunt31: uhmm kind of I guess17:52
Shunt31what is the difference?17:53
sebsebsebShunt31: basically as far as I know netbook is when you can't install from CD/DVD or SUB17:53
ax-axthe tricky part is to get gnome, if you're using gnome, to use your xkb-layout when you're done it17:53
sebsebsebShunt31: then you like send the kernel from one computer to you're other one over the LAN17:53
geekphreakShunt31: from what i can see minimal is command line system , no GUI , just base package, netboot support network17:53
Shunt31ah ok17:53
cage_raphelllutz, ok .. let me reboot and get back to u .. thanks or your patience.17:53

erUSULraygn: git and hg are a lot like p2p (bittorrent)18:35
Younderraygn, they are all different version control systems. There is no central server for git . It is a distributed version control system.18:35

I did try to use the driver provided at the madwifi webpage and the wlan LED started blinking but so far he does not detect any wireless networks. Also the Networkmanager applet shows that the wireless network adapter is not managed. How Do I solve that?19:10

LinuxGuy2009UnNaturalHigh: You can use the panel applet called brightness if you need that feature and your multimedia keys dont work.21:00

Barnabasmaco, I really do not think that static HTML is THAT hard. Javascript and css aside, what is the really big problems you face ?22:19
ActionParsnipNoeve: its usually quicker to clean install if you are running something like intrepid22:19
macoNoeve: and then upgrade a bunch...22:19
ActionParsnipNoeve: kubuntu is ubuntu with a different front, its the same OS22:20
macoBarnabas: hmm? ive been doing html for 13 years...22:20
Barnabasok22:20
linx|maco: good point. I'm not thinking of bluefish, I'm thinking of Nvu22:20

BrutusGosdrichi all. i'm new to linux, so i dunno if i'm comfortable editing xorg just yet. can someone tell me how to setup twinview in metamodes, so that my screens are like one big screen?22:20
tar-erUSUL: thx :)22:20
alien260a good alternative for web development is aptana http://www.aptana.com/22:20
thefirstdude.22:20
NoeveWondering if there's a painless way to do it, or if it's safer to just burn a disc.22:20
macoBarnabas: however someone was looking for a WYSIWYG editor and so bluefish wasnt the right suggestion22:20
nsadminknowing html in a direct way adds power and expression22:20
Navegadorxlinux is power22:20
PeterDrop_like i said, aptana rocks22:20
PeterDrop_notepad++ too anyway22:21
BrutusGosdrici want to do it from nvidia-settings. anyone think they can help me?22:21
erUSULback on topic?? please22:21

Barnabasmaco, WISIWYG editors will limit you on any platform22:21
isolat3dsh33pPeterDrop_, there's notepad++ for linux?22:21
macoNoeve: or you can install from an ubuntu cd and choose manual partition and choose to use the same partition but tell it to NOT format, and then itll keep your home directory22:21
macoBarnabas: i agree, but if that's what the person wants...22:21
PeterDrop_i dont know22:21
PeterDrop_is my very first time on linux22:21

bryanrLinuxGuy2009, and to upgrade to 10.04, is automatic?22:25
Loshastryk3r: I don't think you have any choice. Those packages are not available precompiled...22:25

__mikemLinuxGuy2009: no, because the keyboard works fine if i log in through the terminal22:25
LinuxGuy2009bryanr: Be more specific with your question?22:26
s_v_e_n? Im missing a key for the ubuntu-repository. where can I donwload the richt key for apt-key add ?22:26
s_v_e_n(I need it for a debootstraped lucid running in XEN)22:26
stryk3rLosha, I see. and how would I phrase that? sudo apt-get install sqlite3.0 ?22:26
Loshastryk3r: apt-get install libsqlite3-dev22:26
bryanrLinuxGuy2009, will there be an automatic update i can choose so i can keep my files?22:26
SeaPhorzenergi, it works well, i use it for common running cmds, and i use irssi so i run that in a screen then from work i can ssh in and join the screen in  progress22:26
NucWinhey anyone able to help me get ppp over bluetooth working on 10.04? seems there isnt support for dialup by default?22:26
stryk3rthanks22:26
macozenergi: cat on teh device works22:26
tar-erUSUL: I've also mounted additional drives meant to contain files reached through sftp, these are mounted in /media/... although chmod 777 to get write permissions without being root seems somewhat .. wrong, is acl the way to go here?22:26
LinuxGuy2009bryanr: Yeah it should tell you in 6 days when it comes out if you want to upgrade22:27
bryanrLinuxGuy2009, that is great!22:27
Loshastryk3r: basically, I run apt-cache search sqlite3 and then make an educated guess among the alternatives...22:27
zenergiSeaPhor: yes, that sounds very useful, thanks for the tip!22:27
macoSeaPhor: i thought that to share a screen session you had to be the same user?22:27
guntbertNucWin: please ask in #ubuntu+122:27
NucWinkk thanks22:27
zenergimaco: thanks, i didn't think of that one either22:27

thefirstdudeOMG, I waited like 1 hour for stupid msg <LinuxGuy2009> thefirstdude: Cracking wireless is offtopic here.22:29
macolitropy: what you pick when you do the dpkg-reconfigure does not determine what session you login to22:29
PeterDrop_hehe !<- nice xD22:29
tar-ActionParsnip: ext422:29
thefirstdudeI am on crapy network I wanna connect to home network22:29
macolitropy: it only determines what login screen you get22:29
stryk3rLosha,  DBUS-Glib 0.60 is the next dependency. I did the apt-cache search and it gave me a couple of different ones, not sure which is which22:29

tar-erUSUL: thx, 644?22:29
thefirstdudehttp://forum.aircrack-ng.org/index.php?topic=6835.022:29
macolitropy: i checked and i was wrong, and kdm *does* have a dropdown to pick between gnome & kde22:29
ActionParsniptar-: hmm, ext4 should carry over the ownerships so should be ok, 777 is really unsecure22:29

Loshastryk3r: first choice is always any package ending in -dev. Try libdbus-glib-1-dev22:30
macolitropy: like i said in #kubuntu it wont change what login screen you see til you reboot after a reconfigure. a log out is not enough22:30

paketetia22:31
zenergiActionParsnip: good idea, thanks22:31
ActionParsniptar-: ext4 will be fine, its ntfs you need special stuff for. 777 is very not best practice22:31
bondiblueos9thefirstdude: do you know if it is a wep or a wpa network?22:31
macolitropy: even after reboot? ok then drop to a tty and do "sudo stop gdm; sudo start kdm"22:31
zuzieguess what I never thought that I already fixed it as at reboot it came on nicely :P i simply reinstalled all the acpi packages and removed hibernation from /etc/default/acpi-support :)22:31

TranceControlHey guys. Im trying to figure something out. I've gotten this script written (not that big of a deal), but i need to be able to exit putty (its on a linux server) and have it still running after i exit putty?22:43
kanzieIm trying to run fusbi on my ubuntu to make a bootable USB-drive for xbox-live but it requires the udev-package22:43
kanziewhat is it named for apt-get?22:43
ActionParsnipTranceControl: you need to employ screen on the server22:44
guntbertthefirstdude: please calm down and stay polite - we are no clairvoyants22:44
LinuxGuy2009thefirstdude: Most routers have a reset switch on the back. Use it and you can setup a brand new WPA2 key. problem solved.22:44
moreiakanzie: you can search ubuntu packages directly22:44
TranceControlActionParsnip, so i could do : screen for a in */*.rar; do unrar x "$a"; done22:44
_pg_LinuxGuy2009: applause22:44
TranceControl?22:44
ActionParsnipLinuxGuy2009: that will disrupt the currently connected/paired systems22:44
z3r0-c001#ubuntu+122:44
kanziemoreia: how do I do that?22:45
LinuxGuy2009ActionParsnip: Ok so distrupting is worse than not being able to use the network?22:45
stryk3rLosha, a question, shouldn't the dependencies be installed by themselves if the script tells it too?22:45
moreiakanzie: http://packages.ubuntu.com22:45
kanziemoreia: Imalready there22:45
moreiakanzie: but I don't see fsusbi at all.22:45
ActionParsnipTranceControl: no, yuo have a few screens on the server, when you connect switch to another screen run your command, switch back to the first screen then disconnect and it will keep running22:45
kanzieI just wish to find the name to run apt-get22:45
moreiakanzie: I just got here... was there more background that you gave?22:46
ActionParsnipLinuxGuy2009: you can connect via a cable to view the settings without the need for wifi, you will then not disrupt or change anything22:46
LinuxGuy2009thefirstdude: Otherwise I would imagine you will still need the old WPA if you login with a cable and try and change it22:46
TranceControlActionParsnip, oh .. wasnt aware of that. How do i switch to another screen ?.22:46
ActionParsnipLinuxGuy2009: less destructive22:46
kanziemoreia: Im trying to run fusbi on my ubuntu to make a bootable USB-drive for xbox-live but it requires the udev-package22:46
ActionParsnipTranceControl: i only know of it, ive never done it personally22:46
LinuxGuy2009ActionParsnip: And when he is asked for the old WPA2 key he is supposed to enter what exactly?22:46
moreiakanzie: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=udev22:46
moreiakanzie: so I think the package really is just "udev"22:47
ActionParsnipLinuxGuy2009: the key will be visible via the wired connection in the routers config page so once the key is learned the cable can be disconnected and the wireless can be then connected to using the newly learned key22:47
LinuxGuy2009ActionParsnip: My bad your correct.22:47
moreiakanzie: apt-get install udev (or ... aptitude install udev)22:47

[crt]I have installed Ubuntu Karmic for 2 users who both have an Atheros wireless chip (using ath9k driver). Both of these users are having a very low wireless signal and frequently disconnects. They didn't seem to have this problem in Windows 7. I use another linux distribution on a laptop and a netbook which both also use ath9k drivers for the Atheros chipset and do not experience these wireless problems myself; but I do use kernel 2.6.33 so maybe this could be why. 23:04

erUSULjesnor: could that be one of the new 4kb sector hard drives ? maybe you just have to use a jumper to set it to compatibility mode ?23:45

xixorYo.  Is there a way with GRUB, to configure it to boot whatever the selection was last time the computer booted?  I dual boot windows and linux, and I'd like to be able to reboot either OS remotely23:49
bigtom21485bryanr: that's what she said, lol23:49
erUSULxixor: i think that option savedefault does exactly that23:49
abadrHow come "FOO=bar echo $FOO" doesn't work?23:49
xzcvczxLinuxGuy2009: yeah i am trying to work out what the hell has happened to someones partition table and /usr and /home are empty on the mounted drive (of the 1 data partition thats left)23:49

rafaelsoaresbrgrub.cfg is not to be edited. right? how to disable the grub2's countdown?23:54
gmonnienhandler: i tried that, says command not found23:55
ninjaiwahts the best hex editor for linux? bliss is OK but it wont let me copy chunks of hex23:55
nhandlergmonnie: What command causes that?23:55
erUSUL!best23:55
ubottuUsually, 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.23:55
LinuxGuy2009ninjai: browse the software center.23:55
erUSULrafaelsoaresbr: /etc/default/grub23:55
linxehninjai: best is subjective23:55
gmonniegnome-sessin-remove gnome panel23:55
ninjailinuxguy2009: that things crap.  apt-cache finds more programs in my experience and I tried bliss and ghex23:56
ninjailinxeh: okay, how about one that lets me copy hex? lol23:56
greezmunkeyThat bot command needs to be deleted, or at least be made smart enough to actually offer a few examples. It is simply not an answer.23:56
nhandlergmonnie: gnome-session-remove (you forgot an o)23:56
linxehninjai: emacs ? :P23:56
dima-linuxdoes anyone know, how can i port firefox data from ubuntu in other ubuntu? where are passwords stored?23:57

linxehdima-linux: there is a .mozilla directory in your home directory23:58
ninjailinxeh: not command line... for that I would use hexer.  I want a GUI one23:58
gmonniei got the panel removed now how can i get it back23:58
erUSUL!resetpanels23:58
ubottuTo reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »23:58
ninjaignomie: right click your other panel and click new panel23:58
