| sebsebseb | Telvana: I tried and tried when testing Ubuntu 10.04 in development to like the default black theme, but I kind of do, but then open Firefox and things look way to black for my likeing. | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| bobby | and the "move to the deleted folder" or whatever - seriously? | 00:00 |
| Scunizi | oly562: then you have a choice to make.. we all get a little fat eventually :) | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: no they aren't | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: this is only the start of it, they want Ubuntu to be more like Mac OS X | 00:00 |
| kevr | oly562> you might tryout wireshark m8. | 00:00 |
| demifuror | hello, how can i make empathy launch on system startup? | 00:00 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: yeah that was my firstr thought | 00:00 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: maybe in Gnome 3 they will be on the right, but probably not for the Canonical themes. | 00:00 |
| bobby | i'd drop ubuntu and go with debian in a heartbeat | 00:00 |
| oly562 | so my original question needs rephrasing, what is a nice gui driven wireless sniffer designed for wireless networks that my son could use, he is 9 | 00:01 |
| mfox | sebsebseb: thats BAD | 00:01 |
| oly562 | something simple | 00:01 |
| rick_ | how do i get the cpu scaling monitor in 10.04 to default to ondemand instead of performance when i boot my pc? | 00:01 |
| oly562 | pretty yet featured | 00:01 |
| Telvana | ok, well I have found one serious dealbreaker with Ubuntu One. It requires me to use Firefox to sync my favorites. No dice. I have been a pretty big fan of Chrome lately. =( | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | mfox: They want Ubuntu to compete more properly against Mac OS X | 00:01 |
| kevr | oly562> ..what do you mean by sniffer m8 | 00:01 |
| running_rabbit07 | No, they want Ubuntu to be like ubuntu! | 00:01 |
| bobby | i'm setting up a new system, and didn't like kubuntu - absolutelly awful, ubuntu was going to be my savior, but now i'm unsure | 00:01 |
| kevr | looking at the network packets, or cracking wireless? | 00:01 |
| ktzqbp | Telvana: fair enough then, if ubuntu one's got features you like. I don't have experience with the paid service myself sorry :) | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | !controls | bobby | 00:01 |
| oly562 | i have wireshark ethereal so forth, not what i want for him | 00:01 |
| mfox | oly562: use wireshark | 00:01 |
| === brendan_ is now known as Guest49523 | ||
| oly562 | just something simple | 00:01 |
| kevr | i see. | 00:01 |
| lee_ | I deleted my intel_drv.so driver now the highest my resolution is 1024x768? Is there anything I can do | 00:01 |
| bobby | ubuntu is becoming commercial - free 2gb space | 00:01 |
| oly562 | mfox: he is 9 | 00:01 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: indeed | 00:01 |
| bobby | it feels dodgy and wrong | 00:01 |
| oly562 | not simple enough | 00:01 |
| kevr | oly562> if hes 9, why does he need a packet sniffer? | 00:01 |
| GeekSquid | lee_: reinstall xorg-video-intel | 00:02 |
| kevr | i doubt he can even understand what he'd be seeing | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: 9.10 was the start of the commerlisation, more will be coming | 00:02 |
| oly562 | kevr: i dont think that is relates, think of it as a toy | 00:02 |
| lee_ | GeekSquid how? | 00:02 |
| kevr | ahh | 00:02 |
| kevr | gotcha. | 00:02 |
| oly562 | i gave him my old linux lappy | 00:02 |
| Telvana | ktzqbp: Do you know of any other file backup utilities kinda like (GASP) Mozy that will work with Linux? I suppose I could always get some hosting space that has SSH access and just rdiff it. | 00:02 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: i've only used 8, and was happy with that | 00:02 |
| kevr | oly562> you could setup wireshark for him so that its a few clicks and ready to go.. | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: well Canonical is a for profit company they want to make money, so that's ok, but depending on how they do it, they will annoy certain users, and others will really like it | 00:02 |
| kevr | making it simple | 00:02 |
| bobby | i think it may be time for me to look elsewhere then | 00:02 |
| oly562 | i would like to also purchase a prism2 usb or pcle card with that chipset for him to play around with | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: well there's Debian sure, and Mandriva and loads of great other distros out there | 00:03 |
| oly562 | kevr: wireshark is info kill lol | 00:03 |
| Narya | can I run KDE based games on gnome? | 00:03 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: i understand, but then why contribute your time freely to dev for an os so they can make money from what you do | 00:03 |
| kevr | alright, alright | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Narya: yes | 00:03 |
| lee_ | GeekSquid also the reason why I deleted it I wasn't able to see the login screen in lucid, it just went to a black screen | 00:03 |
| oly562 | now that you know, other suggestions | 00:03 |
| kevr | :P | 00:03 |
| bobby | it'll kill the community | 00:03 |
| bobby | never tried mandriva | 00:03 |
| Narya | sebsebseb, thanks! | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: Are you a dev? | 00:03 |
| conner | alrighty, im in need of some more help someone, i got a dell desktop with a wireless linksys card in it, well ive tried running xubuntu, pupy arcade, the Gadget Os, and everything, but none of them will use to wirelsess card | 00:03 |
| kevr | oly562> im still looking for another one i used to use... | 00:03 |
| running_rabbit07 | It is nice to see ubuntu get bashed in the ubuntu help irc | 00:03 |
| kevr | it was really great | 00:03 |
| oly562 | k | 00:03 |
| kevr | and simple | 00:03 |
| Loshki | running_rabbit07: :-) | 00:03 |
| Guest49523 | Can anyone help me with Python? I have a simple question | 00:04 |
| kevr | like you need :P | 00:04 |
| bobby | i remember this one great windowsey nice-looking pc-linux i think | 00:04 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: no, but i've thought abotu it | 00:04 |
| oly562 | i was thinkin bout the kde desktop for him, but the new 9.10 look is too much, he likes gnome better | 00:04 |
| oly562 | father like son ;) | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: Going off topic even more, and probably not really the best place to say this, but maybe you should find out about Canonicals copy right assignment as well. | 00:04 |
| kevr | oly562> tried out darkstat? | 00:04 |
| ubuntu_mad | Can someone PM to advise on this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 00:04 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: i've dev'd for other open source projects though :) | 00:04 |
| kevr | meh actually | 00:04 |
| oly562 | no | 00:04 |
| Kitsune | currently playing pwi on windows box from jaunty box using vnc, the update rate is so slow its impossible to play on the jaunty box, however, with a mounted monitor above the jaunty box connected to the windows box, the annoying mouse/keyboard problem is now solved ^~^ thankies for the help. | 00:04 |
| kevr | darkstat is a bitch to setup | 00:04 |
| kevr | forget it. | 00:04 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: they own and can sell everything you do? | 00:04 |
| * kevr continues looking | 00:04 | |
| oly562 | why? | 00:04 |
| FloodBot4 | kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:04 |
| oly562 | gnu? | 00:04 |
| FyreFoX | hi since upgrading to lucid, my keyboard seems to get stuck on random key and repeats. in the end I have to reboot. have tried several keyboards since | 00:05 |
| kevr | no, it works through hosting a local web server on a non-standard port | 00:05 |
| vinpan | i can get into my network and when i go to files nothen shows. can anyone help? | 00:05 |
| === dhikr_ is now known as dhikr | ||
| sebsebseb | bobby: no not exactly, but sort of for some of the apps | 00:05 |
| kevr | then access the network analyzer through web | 00:05 |
| kevr | it runs as a daemon | 00:05 |
| oly562 | i have a web server | 00:05 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | Aha! I finally got the Windows hostname mounting working! | 00:05 |
| cordell | Can some1 give me the web address on how to fix grub so it detects my other partition. Thanks | 00:05 |
| bobby | does mandriva have the same deb package management? | 00:05 |
| kevr | yes, it runs its own web server, on a non standard port.. | 00:05 |
| oly562 | ill take note of that,, darkstat | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: no it uses RPM | 00:05 |
| kevr | f.e, if you want to look at darkstat | 00:05 |
| bobby | i looked at suse but really didn't like theirs | 00:05 |
| kevr | http://localhost:8080 | 00:05 |
| kevr | or whatever | 00:05 |
| oly562 | ic | 00:05 |
| oly562 | yah, that would work | 00:05 |
| oly562 | i want him to work with apache | 00:05 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | Had to install Winbind and edit /etc/nsswitch.conf | 00:05 |
| bobby | i'm really liking the debs, though some of them are awfully out of date | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: nice graphical control centre and so on as well | 00:05 |
| Reilithion | FyreFoX: Have you noticed any odd messages on boot? Perhaps something about udev? | 00:05 |
| kevr | ah | 00:05 |
| running_rabbit07 | cordell, sudo update-grub | 00:06 |
| kevr | this thing runs its >own< tcp web | 00:06 |
| kevr | not through another server | 00:06 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | That... wasn't obvious. But got there in the end. No idea if this is the proper way of doing things, but hey, it works. | 00:06 |
| oly562 | its it apt-get | 00:06 |
| oly562 | is it | 00:06 |
| bobby | you think u will lose a lot of users over this? | 00:06 |
| Nullifi3d | how do you change the color of the splash screen? | 00:06 |
| conner | can anyone help me with the wireless on my desktop? | 00:06 |
| kevr | should be in there | 00:06 |
| oly562 | sb | 00:06 |
| vinpan | should i install samba anyway | 00:06 |
| oly562 | brb | 00:06 |
| kevr | not sure, im running arch | 00:06 |
| bobby | with linux, jumping ship is trivial | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: let's continue in pm | 00:06 |
| ktzqbp | Telvana: that would work... I've seen some favourable comments about Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx) around the place, so maybe that's worth a look too | 00:06 |
| bobby | though i can understand the long run to compete as a serious os | 00:06 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: why? this is related to #ubuntu? | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: 1. we are off topic 2. this kind of convo isn't really the best one to have in this channel | 00:06 |
| Guest49523 | In PyShell, how do I make it so I can do multi-line coding with out it interpreting every line | 00:06 |
| ubuntu_mad | dropbox is great | 00:06 |
| Guest40262 | is openoffice 3.2 available in backports? | 00:07 |
| vinpan | dropbox there is a hack to trick it to host ur website | 00:07 |
| oly562 | its a stand alone prog, it doesnt look like from synaptic description that it requires anything,,, ill try it out | 00:07 |
| oly562 | brb | 00:07 |
| rick_ | can anyone tell me how to get my pc to default to ondeamd instead of performance on the cpu scaling? | 00:07 |
| bobby | why, it's ubuntu, and it's honest criticism. i have been an ubuntu user for 2 years or so now, my opinion matters ;) | 00:07 |
| ubuntu_mad | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent I dont know which one to choose | 00:07 |
| conner | ... how can i get my linksys wirelss card in my dekstop to work correctly when running a unix OS? | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: well if we continue long enough in here, someone will say that we are off topic | 00:08 |
| kevr | oly562> vnstat is nice too. | 00:08 |
| Reilithion | I have a few problems since upgrading to 10.04. Most notably, sound no longer works, and I get some strange errors from udevd on boot. Something about worker [220] did not accept signal -1 ... kill it | 00:08 |
| Rolcol | Does Ubuntu automatically change the CPU frequency? | 00:08 |
| Guest49523 | How do I do multi line coding in pyshel so it doesn't interprest each line individually? | 00:08 |
| h00k | bobby: this channel is for Ubuntu support, you are free to discuss this but elsewhere is best, perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: there we go see | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | hi h00k | 00:08 |
| h00k | hello, sebsebseb :) | 00:08 |
| oly562 | those are terminal progs | 00:09 |
| oly562 | gui! | 00:09 |
| kevr | ah yeah, sorry, forgot :P | 00:09 |
| Loshki | hi sebsebseb | 00:09 |
| lat | Does anyone here use msmtp to send mail through a bluehost.com server? | 00:09 |
| kevr | but darkstat is just a daemon | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: heh if you want an audiance to complain about Ubuntu and so on, I guess #ubuntu-offtopic will work | 00:09 |
| kevr | so he wont even use CLI | 00:09 |
| kevr | for that | 00:09 |
| GeekSquid | Rolcol: yes, by default if the chip supports it | 00:09 |
| Rolcol | :D | 00:09 |
| bobby | h00k: i am receiving support, and because of the support i got, i kinda realised that it isn't for me! | 00:09 |
| mfox | oly562: i think you should wait till your son got 15 :D | 00:09 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: however depending on how it's done, may not last that long in there | 00:09 |
| bsmith093 | have there been a lot of updates for lucid because im running it and ive barely seen any | 00:10 |
| Loshki | lat: No, but I use ssmtp to send mail thru a comcast.com server. It should be broadly similar... | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | yes hi Loshki | 00:10 |
| Guest49523 | Does anyone know how to turn the interactive mode off in PyShell? So it doesn't interpret each line? | 00:10 |
| FyreFoX | Reilithion: no I havent | 00:10 |
| GeekSquid | bsmith093: not yet, it is only a week old, | 00:10 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: since Ubuntu is based on Debian, it's rather much so like Ubuntu, but with out the commercilisation and such | 00:10 |
| oly562 | kevr for my own edification, darkstat, do i pipe stdout somewhere or is there a log in /var | 00:10 |
| Loshki | Guest49523: weren't you asking about this yesterday? | 00:11 |
| vinpan | im connected file sharing but when i go into it no file in the folders not show. | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | !debian | bobby | 00:11 |
| bobby | sebsebseb: exactly and is why i'd migrate naturally there | 00:11 |
| ubottu | bobby: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 00:11 |
| MaximLevitsky | will ubuntu 10.10 mandate gnome-shell? | 00:11 |
| bobby | ubuntu is a commercial debian ;) | 00:11 |
| kevr | oly562> the program outputs the correct web formats including what its receiving, it probably stores in files | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | bobby: there's a good article quite recent, about someone who went back to Debian from Ubuntu, but yes we are off topic in here | 00:11 |
| oly562 | mfox: why? | 00:11 |
| kevr | then displays depending on the parses | 00:11 |
| MaximLevitsky | or compiz will be supported too? | 00:11 |
| oly562 | mfox: he likes linux | 00:11 |
| lat | Loshki, would you please share your .msmtprc? I haven't been able to get it to work. | 00:12 |
| kevr | oly562> im glad to see a 9 year old using linux, the new generation will be kickass :) | 00:12 |
| Loshki | sebsebseb: got a url for the ubuntu to debian article? | 00:12 |
| kevr | 13 year old c/cobol gurus | 00:12 |
| oly562 | kevr: i just see a process in ps ax | 00:12 |
| kevr | yeah? | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: I can probably find it, there have been quite a few articles like that | 00:12 |

| oly562 | only | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: people leaving Ubuntu for another distro, for whatever reason, recent articles | 00:12 |
| mfox | oly562: no i dont mean linux, most sniffers are advanced, command-lines such nvstat or GUI like wireshark shows protocols and headers! he'll confuse! | 00:12 |
| kevr | Telvana> i know right? :) | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: aritcles/blogs whatever | 00:12 |
| kevr | oly562> find out how to monitor a range of ports | 00:13 |
| kevr | get the top port, its 65XXX (cant remember the last... might be 65500) | 00:13 |
| oly562 | mfox: zackly, that is why i mean a nice little pretty fun game like wireless sniffer to watch things go by on the screen | 00:13 |
| kevr | 1-65500 | 00:13 |
| Loshki | lat: ssmtp uses /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf instead. Want to pastebin your .msmtprc (take out any passwords) and tell me what your problem is? | 00:13 |
| oly562 | heck i could just run tcpdump for that lol, no i want a pretty little fun gamey gui for him, kinda like DS | 00:13 |

| localgh0st | My sound (via spdif) stopped working after lucid lynx upgrade and all, anyone know some things I should check or read to help me figure this out? | 00:14 |
| kevr | in python or something | 00:14 |
| oly562 | kerv i guess | 00:14 |
| localgh0st | It crackles... | 00:14 |
| Ooo | i want to delete one of my raid disk.. check out this pastbin | 00:14 |
| Ooo | http://pastebin.org/199932 | 00:14 |
| appa | Hello people, I am having problems getting Lucid Lynx Live CD to boot proper on a computer where I want to install it. Seems after doing a verbose boot that it stops at the cupsd daemon and then nothing. Just dead. | 00:15 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: can't just find it at the moment | 00:15 |
| Ooo | i have also installed OS.. so which and how should i delet RAID.. | 00:15 |
| kevr | oly562> sorry i couldn't find what you needed man, i fail. | 00:15 |
| kevr | but i have to go clean up for a short bit | 00:15 |
| kevr | be back soon. | 00:15 |
| appa | Not very easy to do anything with the Live CD as it isn't installed on the computer yet, so if anyone knows a workaround to get it working please let me know A.S.A.P | 00:15 |
| Loshki | sebsebseb: no matter, I'll poke around in google... | 00:15 |
| oly562 | thanks | 00:16 |
| oly562 | l8 | 00:16 |
| jiohdi | appa, you could try the NBR version, it has less stuff and is lighter load, perhaps easier to install, you can get other packages later | 00:16 |
| Loshki | localgh0st: it *just* crackles, or you have sound but it's crackly...? | 00:16 |
| oly562 | im starving, going to take my ubuntu laptop to starbucks, ill be another time | 00:16 |
| oly562 | l8 | 00:16 |
| oly562 | thanks guys | 00:16 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: well you can get on similar articles maybe even the one if you search the archive of http://www.linuxtoday.com link to the archeive is towards the bottom of the page | 00:16 |
| vinpan | appa: i had same problem would not boot, so i installed 9.04 and then updated it but it takes a long time | 00:16 |
| appa | Jiohdi: Thanks for the suggestion, is that one available on the same page where you get the desktop version? | 00:16 |
| localgh0st | Loshki, let me double check, pretty sure it *just* crackles | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | Loshki: articles/blogs whatever | 00:17 |
| jiohdi | appa, yes | 00:17 |
| Ooo | I have two Disks, i want to free up one of my 80GB hard drive whic is now RAID.. so how and which should i delete ?? | 00:17 |
| Ooo | http://pastebin.org/199932 | 00:17 |
| jiohdi | appa, less people seem to want it, so its faster to download as well | 00:17 |
| tharvey | anyone know where I can get a users crontab? I'm restoring files from an offline linux system so 'crontab -l' doesn't access the 'old system' | 00:17 |
| appa | Also -- I think Ubuntu should boot proper from the full desktop CD - its quite a turnoff when you want to try it and you come up against a bug. | 00:17 |
| localgh0st | Loshki, yup. Nothing discernible. | 00:17 |
| appa | Personally I run ArchLinux but this one is for a friend who is new to linux and wants to try it out :) | 00:17 |

| localgh0st | Loshki, I'll give it a looksee thanks! | 00:19 |
| Claudinux | 'night | 00:19 |
| appa | yes but don't anybody know what to do to get the GUI to boot proper, is there a way to bypass cupsd entirely during the bootup? | 00:20 |
| opop | i'm a little concerned that there hasn't been a 10.04 update on amd64 since thursday. Also, anyone experiencing repetitive crashes in openoffice? | 00:20 |
| Loshki | tharvey: user's crontabs are completely custom. Unless you have a backup, there's no way to know what was in there... | 00:20 |

| drclue | Anyone know how to fix the broken 9.10 -> 10.04 Ubuntu upgrade, and perhaps a moment to help a fellow through it? I've got a machine that the best I can get out of it right now is an old 9.10 shell prompt and as it uses a USB WiFi connection that won't work either, I'm sorta stumped | 00:29 |
| Segfault | Dr.Clue what seems to be the trouble with your wifi? | 00:29 |
| Loshki | bluebaron_: hangs are extremely hard to diagnose. Did it run something else previously that didn't hang? | 00:29 |

| TheMozart | ActionParsnip: so the command starts with a dollar $ symbol? | 00:32 |
| TheMozart | ActionParsnip: ok | 00:32 |

| === T is now known as Guest82984 | ||
| MikeH_ | psusi: hrm, possibly actually if I've mounted the wrong partition - is there any way of listing how big each drive is? | 01:06 |
| MikeH_ | df -h | 01:06 |
| ChogyDan | drclue: well, you would need the 10.04 cd to do that anyway.... I'm not sure... | 01:06 |
| MikeH_ | oops, wrong keyboard | 01:06 |
| S-001 | can somebody please help me? I don't mean to annoy anyone, but my primary machine won't boot to windows or ubuntu. | 01:06 |
| drclue | ChogyDan: would it work as well if I booted to the live demo (where the networking is functioning) , dropped to the shell , went over to the main drive and issued those commands? | 01:06 |
| acerimmer | s-001: error messages?? | 01:06 |
| S-001 | nothing | 01:06 |
| drclue | The updates I mean | 01:06 |
| guest1 | hello darolu | 01:06 |
| guest1 | I am back | 01:06 |
| S-001 | just a blinking cursor | 01:06 |
| darolu | guest1: hey, did they show up with that? | 01:07 |
| guest1 | I tried alt f2 and typed in Gnome-panel | 01:07 |
| guest1 | no luck | 01:07 |
| ChogyDan | _pHI_: I dunno, its not supported to do that, so you may have issues. | 01:07 |
| Loshki | S-001: but the live cd worked ok? | 01:07 |
| acerimmer | s-001: have installed ubuntu or are you running live cd | 01:07 |
| soundconjurer | Ubuntu does boot into failsafe graphics though | 01:07 |
| S-001 | i'm running it now | 01:07 |
| guest1 | it says could not open //home/username/ something | 01:07 |
| S-001 | but i had tried to install, and it does that every time | 01:07 |
| soundconjurer | just won't boot the normal way. | 01:07 |
| Theravadan | how do i get a frickin' 3d cube desktop going? | 01:07 |
| guest1 | as a temporary fix, what i did was create a new admin account and i am logged into machine with that new account to access the default panel | 01:07 |
| S-001 | running the live cd now, but won't boot to any hard drive now | 01:08 |
| guest1 | i need that panel restored to my original account | 01:08 |
| acerimmer | s-001: what version of Ubuntu *.iso? 32 bit/64 bit/kubuntu/ubuntu? | 01:08 |
| S-001 | 64 reg Ubuntu | 01:08 |
| tophyr | is there any performance or "real" difference (ie non-legal, non-ideological) between openjdk-6 and sun-java6 package sets? | 01:08 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Theravadan: install compiz-settings-manager | 01:08 |
| S-001 | burned to a disc | 01:08 |
| ChogyDan | drclue: yes, that's actually what a livecd recovery is | 01:08 |
| acerimmer | s-001: are you SURE you need 64 bit? and that your box runs 64 bit? | 01:08 |
| acerimmer | s-001: easy fix, download and run 32 bit. Most issues should fix | 01:09 |
| S-001 | i'm sure i need 64, i've got 6GB of ram, running on a core 2 quad q9550 and w/ a GTS 250 | 01:09 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Theravadan: compizconfig-settings-manager | 01:09 |
| === Narya is now known as Narya|away | ||
| S-001 | and I'm doing graphics | 01:09 |
| guest1 | any other suggestions darolu/acerimmer | 01:09 |
| S-001 | yes i do need 64 | 01:09 |
| darolu | guest1: go back to the faulty session, press Alt+F2 and run a terminal with gnome-terminal, once you're there run "sudo debconf gnome-panel" (no quotes) that should restore your panels | 01:09 |
| daftykins | does anyone recall that boot CD you can make which will allow booting of USB flash drives / CDs / etc ? | 01:09 |

| wildbat | hi~ i have a problem in ssh keys ~ i have two machine running ubuntu~ x64 and x86, i tried to setup ssh keys on both so that i don't need to enter password. funny thing, when x64 one try to ssh x86, "Agent admitted failure to sign using key". how ever after i log in x64 from x86 and ssh back to x86 ~ the key works~ anyone got a clue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/427305/ | 01:09 |
| MikeH_ | hrm, if an ext4 volume becomes unmountable | 01:09 |
| MikeH_ | because its busy, could it be it needs checking? | 01:09 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Theravadan: First make sure you got your graphics drivers installed. Then make sure "Desktop effects" are set to all or full or whatever it is. Then install the package I just listed above. | 01:10 |
| acerimmer | guest 1: coffee is gone - I'm out of ideas for u. sorry | 01:10 |
| darolu | guest1: if it fails, make sure permissions and ownership are correct in your $HOME | 01:10 |
| garic | which port do i need for xchat file transfer? | 01:10 |
| psusi | MikeH_, no, if it is because it is busy, then it is because it is busy... | 01:10 |
| psusi | i.e. already mounted | 01:10 |
| MikeH_ | psusi: its not being used by anything though | 01:10 |
| ChogyDan | drclue: yeah. You just boot the cd and get internet working. The tricky part is setting up an upgrade which gets your HDD install, the the live install. That's where the webpage will help | 01:10 |
| MikeH_ | I can mount /boot (/dev/sdb1) fine, but not / on /dev/sdb5 - it isn't mounted either | 01:10 |
| S-001 | acerimmer: are there problems w/ 64 bit? cuz I kinda need 64 | 01:11 |
| zbanks | I've talked to someone before about memory issues, but today I noticed something really strange. Right on boot, I was using 980MB/2GB of RAM (not including caching!). My computer always seems to gobble up memory, but this is rediculious. I'm running karmic x64, if that indicates anything. | 01:11 |
| garic | which port do i need for file transfer on xchat, or where do i set the port? | 01:11 |
| Loshki | wildbat: never seen that message before. Try ssh -v for the failing case and see if verbose output tells you anything interesting... | 01:11 |
| acerimmer | s-001: I've GOT a 64 bit dell laptop, dual core, etc. For some reason, I couldn't get the 64 bit ubuntu to load up or install. | 01:11 |
| S-001 | hmm... | 01:11 |
| S-001 | well, i don't exactly have a way to dload 32 now and burn it | 01:12 |
| S-001 | cuz i'm running off the live cd | 01:12 |
| acerimmer | s-001: try 32 bit and if it runs, cool. If not, research the forums. | 01:12 |
| S-001 | i don't have a way to burn it | 01:12 |
| zbanks | (I've ran htop and was unable to find any process that was using any crazy amount of mem. a few programs were using 1-2%, but not *that* many!) | 01:12 |
| S-001 | cuz i'm running the live cd | 01:12 |
| guest1 | darolu, let me try this and i will be right back.. hope this works | 01:12 |
| soundconjurer | I am beginning to dislike the fact Ubuntu isn't booting on my other laptop. 8.04 worked fine | 01:12 |
| acerimmer | s-001: time for a trip to your local coffe shop/hi speed wifi. | 01:13 |
| soundconjurer | now 10.04 hangs after splash screen. | 01:13 |
| S-001 | heh, i wish | 01:13 |
| darolu | guest1: yeah, it should work, good luck; the other option is to delete the gnome-panel conf files from your home with "rm -f ~/.gconf/apps/panel" | 01:13 |
| S-001 | and i need 64 | 01:13 |
| S-001 | unfortunately | 01:13 |
| S-001 | so 32 isn't an option | 01:13 |
| acerimmer | s-001: actually, can you install under wubi? assuming you dual boot | 01:13 |
| MikeH_ | Am I right in thinking that with guided + LVM setup that / would be on sd*5? | 01:14 |
| S-001 | acerimmer: Not anymore. Ubuntu borked my windows bootloader too. | 01:14 |
| xomp | hi, I'm attempting to compile something for the first time provided I can learn this. Any extremely easy to use SVN software for ubuntu out there? | 01:14 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | how do i install software that comes in a tar.gz file rather than a .deb file? | 01:14 |
| darolu | MikeH_: that's the most common way but it's not always like that | 01:15 |
| acerimmer | s-001: DOH! well if you still need windows, install that FIRST, then do ubuntu. | 01:15 |
| garic | which port do i need for file transfer on xchat, or where do i set the port? | 01:15 |
| wildbat | Loshki, hmmm ok ~ http://paste.ubuntu.com/427309/ | 01:15 |
| darolu | MikeH_: find out with "sudo fdisk -l" | 01:15 |
| S-001 | it was installed | 01:15 |
| S-001 | acerimmer: so i gotta reinstall? | 01:15 |
| keith_ | well hey all, | 01:15 |
| acerimmer | s-001: wait | 01:15 |
| darolu | garic: go to Config-preferences in xchat, you'll find network options there | 01:15 |
| S-001 | grr... 3rd reinstall in as many days... | 01:15 |
| ChogyDan | Hawaiian_Eskimo: extract the archive, and read the included directions. That aren't any set tricks. What are you trying to install? | 01:15 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | ChogyDan: ddrescue | 01:16 |
| acerimmer | s-001: ok, sounds like maybe you got bit by grub. If you're dual booting, it's easy to mess up BUT | 01:16 |
| acerimmer | s-001: if it's noly a grub issue, windows should still be there. XP/Vista/7? | 01:16 |
| garic | darolu, yes i did look at those, but no option for ip port. | 01:16 |
| MikeH_ | hrm | 01:16 |
| ChogyDan | !info ddrescue | Hawaiian_Eskimo | 01:16 |
| ubottu | Hawaiian_Eskimo: ddrescue (source: ddrescue): copy data from one file or block device to another. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.14-1 (lucid), package size 19 kB, installed size 84 kB | 01:16 |
| MikeH_ | I have sdb2 as extended and sdb5 as linux lvm | 01:16 |
| S-001 | acerimmer: 7 ultimate x64. I think the bootloader for 7 was installed on the drive that i formatted for Ubuntu, but i thought Ubuntu would work around it. | 01:17 |
| S-001 | acerimmer: stupid mistake? | 01:17 |
| MikeH_ | So should I be able to mount one of them? | 01:17 |
| MikeH_ | Is it an issue with LVM? | 01:17 |
| keith_ | this is more complecated than i thought, | 01:17 |
| acerimmer | s-001: yes and no. easy way to find out is run the windows repair | 01:18 |
| S-001 | ok, will that allow me to at least boot to windows? | 01:18 |
| queso | Trying to use easy_e17.sh, got this configure error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/209550 I'm on Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. | 01:18 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | ok, i got some of it figured out | 01:18 |
| amdsolution | Boot from cd windows and repair installation | 01:18 |
| queso | (Sorry, wrong channel.) | 01:18 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | however, what package do i need to install to be able to use make? | 01:18 |
| acerimmer | s-001: if windows comes back, then keep going. Am I correct, Ubuntu will not INSTALL? | 01:18 |
| Loshki | wildbat: ah, it's something to do with the ssh-agent. http://jimmyg.org/blog/2008/beginners-guide-to-ssh-keys-with-ssh2.html, see 'Disabling SSH Agent'. Dunno what the fix is though... | 01:19 |
| darolu | garic: you can always edit options manually, "gedit $HOME/.xchat2/xchat.conf" | 01:19 |
| zetheroo | when I leave my computer for a bit it automatically locks the screen after a few minutes ... how do I stop this ? | 01:19 |
| rodri | hello, i need help | 01:19 |
| ChogyDan | Hawaiian_Eskimo: I think build-essential but it is in the repos, so if you are running ubuntu, you don't need this | 01:19 |

| haavaros | Is it possible to use another kernel, and still run lucid? | 01:22 |
| zetheroo | darolu: do you know if it's possible to select a folder of pics as a screensaver slideshow? | 01:22 |
| darolu | haavaros: yes | 01:22 |
| Loshki | wildbat: that's why it happens the first time but not the second. On the first invocation, ssh consults ssh-agent. On the second, it doesn't, because only sessions started from the console use ssh-agent... | 01:22 |
| beav_35 | loshki: do u know where i could find one? can i use the ones for fedora? | 01:22 |
| soundconjurer | Having trouble with a computer not booting ubuntu. It gets to the splash screen and crashes and hangs | 01:22 |
| jmspeex | I ran update-grub to try a boot option and now I seem to have lost some of the original options (like boot splash and all). How can I re-install grub with the same options as it was installed. | 01:22 |
| jmspeex | I'm running Lucid BTW | 01:22 |
| darolu | zetheroo: yes it is possible, you have to create a directory with the images in it and create a xml with the options, they need to be in /usr/share/backgrounds (I think) | 01:22 |
| hydester | i'm trying to flash a bios on a motherboard that requires a dos EXE program. i tried to make a bootable cdrom via k3b and using "edit boot image" and then dragged the files i wanted in the project and burned. it boots fine, but i don't see the files i added. any suggestions? | 01:23 |
| xomp | just installed Bazaar SVN yet can't find it anywhere. It was grabbed from the "Ubuntu Software Center", where can I located this installed program? | 01:23 |
| Loshki | beav_35: hold on, let me see if I can pastebin my 8.04 ubuntu script... | 01:23 |
| bobby | bazaar cvs is slow | 01:23 |
| bobby | use git | 01:23 |
| zetheroo | darolu: oh ok ... I know nothing of creating an xml file etc ... I thought there may be a simpler way ... | 01:23 |
| bobby | it's VERY slow as a cvs infact | 01:23 |
| Pici | xomp: bzr is a command line application. | 01:23 |
| xomp | bobby, thanks will do | 01:23 |
| bobby | git is niiiiiice.... | 01:24 |
| haavaros | How do I use another kernel for Lucid? Any of the ones from Karmic would do ... my hw has problems with the kernel in lucid. | 01:24 |
| rodri | somebody speak spanish ? Cause in the spanish channel, no there arent nothing.... (sorry 4 my english) | 01:24 |
| darolu | zetheroo: there may be a simple way to do it but I don't know it, it's easier for me to create the XML :p it's very simple, xml is a very simple language, open the cosmos one with gedit to study it | 01:24 |
| ChogyDan | haavaros: Ive used different kernels without any trouble. It is just unsupported. | 01:24 |
| Loshki | beav_35: http://pastebin.com/1nXYcqDJ | 01:25 |
| cmwslw | is grub normally installed on drives, rather than partitions? | 01:25 |
| darolu | zetheroo: gedit /usr/share/backgrounds/cosmos/background-1.xml | 01:25 |
| haavaros | ChogyDan: Yeah, but how do I get there? I.e. what do I do to install the kernels? Just via synaptic? | 01:25 |
| ChogyDan | haavaros: there is something called the mainline ppa | 01:25 |
| beav_35 | Loshki: got it thanks | 01:25 |
| cmwslw | i need to select where to install grub on since i'm upgrading to lucid | 01:25 |
| ChogyDan | haavaros: you may want to file-a-bug | 01:26 |
| zetheroo | darolu: so you have to specify each photo to be used in the xml file? | 01:26 |
| darolu | haavaros: yes you can install them via Synaptic, that would be the smart choice; there is a PPA with the latest kernels, you can use them too but they are not 100% reliable | 01:26 |
| xomp | bobby, installed gitk guessing it's one of them command line apps too huh? | 01:26 |
| rww | cmwslw: yes, it's usually installed on drives | 01:26 |
| cmwslw | rww: thanks | 01:26 |
| darolu | zetheroo: yes | 01:26 |
| ivo_ | guys do you think btrfs will be in the next release of ubuntu? | 01:26 |
| haavaros | darolu and ChogyDan, thx for helping | 01:27 |
| Loshki | beav_35: there should be something like it in the sources somewhere, or in the mythtv ubuntu package... | 01:27 |
| luis_ | I think I will have to reinstall Kubuntu from a live CD again lossing all my data... for some reason the actu to 10.04 is broken and fucked my OS. At the start of the boot, before user and password, something related to an kernel error is displayed and after login some packages are broken and there is not application panel, just the pic of the desktop, is there some way to install again the OS without losing data? | 01:27 |
| luis_ | losing* | 01:27 |
| rww | ivo_: stuff like that won't be decided until the Ubuntu Developer Summit, which hasn't happened yet | 01:27 |
| rww | luis_: watch your language, please. | 01:27 |
| wildbat | Loshki, hmmm ~ thanks ~ didn't know that gnome will cache my id | 01:27 |
| MikeH_ | Hrm, managed to reinstall grub | 01:27 |
| wildbat | Loshki, worked after rm the key and relog gnome | 01:27 |
| cmwslw | hooray, the new grub can distinguish between vista and the vista recovery partition | 01:28 |
| Loshki | wildbat: gnome does altogether too much if you ask me :-) | 01:28 |
| MikeH_ | but wheen booting, I still get a flashing white cursor | 01:28 |
| cmwslw | its always been a major confusion | 01:28 |
| darolu | luis_: do you have separate /home partition? | 01:28 |
| ChogyDan | luis_ can you get to a terminal? | 01:28 |
| MikeH_ | no grub screen, no kernel boost messages | 01:28 |
| wildbat | Loshki, hehe ~ too nosy ! XD so they have to name it NGnome ~ | 01:28 |
| luis_ | darolu: No, ChogyDan yes | 01:28 |
| Loshki | ivo_: I'm not convinced they even have ext4 working fully yet... | 01:29 |
| MikeH_ | *boot | 01:29 |
| ChogyDan | !tty | luis_ not even this way | 01:29 |
| ubottu | luis_ not even this way: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 01:29 |

| juanca | can anyone help me here to use ubuntu server in virtualbox... I mean how to comunicate with the host and use it from there | 01:32 |
| KaOSoFt | Is it just me, or since 9.04 (or 9.10), whenever the installation ends, it ejects the installation disc, and then starts displaying errors? | 01:33 |
| juanca | the host is ubuntu desktop | 01:33 |
| GeekSquid | juanca: best bet ask in #virtualbox | 01:33 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | KaOSoFt, thats what happen to me | 01:33 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: if it ever happens again, you can check the iso without having to re-download it by running an md5sum on it, and also if you see it again, please write down the exact text of the i/o error message, ok? | 01:33 |
| aguitel | U-b-u-n-t-u, you upgrade to 10.04? | 01:33 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | yes | 01:34 |
| KaOSoFt | Oh, I did a fresh install. | 01:34 |
| KaOSoFt | Always do. | 01:34 |
| demitrius | I didn't get errors at the finish of installing 10.04 Netbook, but I got lots of errors when I added software. | 01:34 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | aguitel, yes | 01:34 |
| aguitel | U-b-u-n-t-u, the problem is fresh install | 01:34 |
| KaOSoFt | In any case, the errors appear, but the OS works just smoothly fine. | 01:34 |
| KaOSoFt | :D | 01:34 |
| demitrius | I wiped 10.04 and put back in 9.10 Netbook | 01:34 |
| MikeH_ | wildbat: I am | 01:35 |
| MikeH_ | out of curiosity | 01:35 |
| cmwslw | demitrius: were there any improvements in 10.04? | 01:35 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | aguitel, I have no idea why it happen... however after reverting and upgrading its running wonderful | 01:35 |
| MikeH_ | what do I need to run after updating grub config? | 01:35 |
| aguitel | demitrius, what netbook | 01:35 |
| luis_ | ChogyDan: this is whats shows when I type your command:http://pastebin.com/YB0vLJsr | 01:35 |
| demitrius | I didn't see any compelling improvements in 10.04 | 01:35 |
| soundconjurer | Seems the bug is really much deeper than just grub lines. | 01:35 |
| Rhamphoryncus | KaOSoFt: the release notes say it's a harmless error in the installer. The worst it does is hide the message telling you to reboot :) | 01:35 |
| demitrius | but it did *look* cooler! ;-D | 01:35 |
| Loshki | MikeH_: update-grub :-) | 01:35 |
| j800r | wow. still so many people having problems with 10.04.. | 01:35 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, when it happen i posted the i/o error msg in here | 01:35 |
| demitrius | Acer Aspire One 531H | 01:36 |
| KaOSoFt | Rhamphoryncus- Ough, didn't read the release notes. :s | 01:36 |
| ChogyDan | luis_ well, you are uptodate. Maybe try creating a new user and loging in there | 01:36 |
| KaOSoFt | In any case, like I said, it works marvelously. :) | 01:36 |
| Loshki | j800r: it's only been out a couple of days. Come back in a month... | 01:36 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: very good, that's all I would've asked of you... | 01:36 |
| luis_ | ChogyDan: Mmm maybe I am up to date but I have still the kernel problem | 01:36 |
| soundconjurer | It just can't get past the splash screen without it flat out crashing. | 01:36 |
| demitrius | I have to say for the first time I was disappointed with an Ubuntu install with 10.04 | 01:36 |
| demitrius | but I'll get over it. | 01:36 |
| KaOSoFt | ._. | 01:36 |
| luis_ | ChogyDan: can you explain me how to make a backup of my home folder? I am gonna reinstall | 01:36 |
| MikeH_ | what the hell | 01:37 |
| KaOSoFt | demitrius- Why...? | 01:37 |
| MikeH_ | where has menu.lst gone in 10.4? | 01:37 |
| amabo | is there a shortcut or some way to detect displays? i like to disable the display for my laptop when its plugged into my monitor but if i unplug the monitor (or close my laptop) i can't re-enable it. any help on this would be greatly appreciated | 01:37 |
| cmwslw | MikeH: grub2 | 01:37 |
| j800r | Loshki, lol. i'm just surprised at the huge volume of people with issues. it's working fine for me. juast as good as 9.10, in fact, better | 01:37 |
| h00k | !grub2 | MikeH_ | 01:37 |
| ubottu | MikeH_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:37 |
| demitrius | like I mentioned, I got errors when adding software | 01:37 |
| j800r | i love the social networking integration etc | 01:37 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, np I tried to send a report but the os wasnt functioning and was crashing... but like I said its great now | 01:37 |
| demitrius | something about MS fonts | 01:37 |
| wildbat | MikeH_, you are in grub2 now ~ | 01:37 |
| ChogyDan | luis_ I use rsync -aS | 01:37 |
| j800r | demitrius, ms core fonts? | 01:37 |
| wildbat | !grub2 | MikeH_ | 01:37 |
| ubottu | MikeH_: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:37 |
| luis_ | ChogyDan: lol wut | 01:38 |
| j800r | have you installed the ubuntu restricted package? | 01:38 |
| aguitel | !grub | 01:38 |
| ubottu | grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 01:38 |
| demitrius | yeah, the social networking stuff was pretty cool on 10,04 | 01:38 |
| soundconjurer | I've installed all the proposed updates | 01:38 |
| Loshki | j800r: me too, but actually I think 10.04 has had fewer problems than the 9.X releases, and in a few months I hope it will be as stable as 8.04 | 01:38 |
| soundconjurer | done all the grub modifications | 01:38 |
| demitrius | yes, MS core fonts | 01:38 |
| soundconjurer | and it still doesn't boot. | 01:38 |
| j800r | demitrius, did you install the restricted extras package? | 01:38 |
| demitrius | oh yes! I got errors when installing restricted package too! | 01:38 |
| j800r | o.0 that is strange | 01:39 |
| MikeH_ | apparently what would normally be in menu.lst should be in .etc/default/grub yet theres nno entries? | 01:39 |
| Loshki | MikeH_: and grub2 is a nightmare compared to grub1... | 01:39 |
| demitrius | J800r, yes, I did. | 01:39 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | soundconjurer, was it a fresh install? and you just get a cursor? | 01:39 |
| soundconjurer | nope | 01:39 |
| ChogyDan | luis_: something like, on a terminal: sudo rsync -aS /home/. /backup_location/. You _might_ be able to just reinstall as is, but you should always have a backup of your important stuff | 01:39 |
| soundconjurer | It doesn't even cursor | 01:39 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | soundconjurer, but it was a fresh install? | 01:39 |
| soundconjurer | It just goes black and does nothing endlessly | 01:39 |
| Loshki | MikeH_: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d... | 01:39 |
| soundconjurer | That and live disc fails too | 01:40 |
| demitrius | I'll try again in another month or so with 10.x | 01:40 |
| h00k | MikeH_: Actually, Grub2 is quite nice, if you check out the wiki, you'll see the menu list is generated and uses defaults and things you change in /etc/default/grub and then there are other ways to customize the entries | 01:40 |
| soundconjurer | but booting from recovery on failsade graphics works | 01:40 |
| cmwslw | i'm taking my chances with 10.04 | 01:40 |
| soundconjurer | failsafe* | 01:40 |
| Loshki | h00k: I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that point :-) | 01:40 |
| MikeH_ | h00k: I want to add vga= to kernel params | 01:40 |
| j800r | best thing about 10.04 imo. Chromium in the repos ^^ | 01:40 |
| CNLiberal | Ubuntu 10.04 x64 with iPhone 3GS, I plug in the phone, its recognized on desktop. GTKPod opens automatically, and as soon as I open RhythmBox, the iphone icon disappears from the desktop. What am I doing wrong? | 01:40 |
| cmwslw | if it screws up I could always use a reinstall every now and then | 01:40 |
| h00k | MikeH_: you can do that! | 01:40 |
| h00k | Loshki: and I'm okay with that :) | 01:40 |
| === d is now known as Guest11673 | ||
| U-b-u-n-t-u | soundconjurer, I had this issues too and it said i had a disk error or grub would sit there... but I reverted to 9.04 then upgraded to 9.10 then 10.04 it boots perfect now... I know this is a long way of doing it but just saying what worked for me | 01:41 |
| MikeH_ | h00k: I've yet to find my default entry yet?! | 01:41 |
| h00k | MikeH_: in /etc/default/grub, check line 8 | 01:41 |
| soundconjurer | Well your way sucks and I am not going to do it that way. | 01:41 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | soundconjurer, lol | 01:42 |
| Loshki | soundconjurer: please keep it civil... | 01:42 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | its ok | 01:42 |
| luis_ | ChogyDan: /backup_location/ what I type if it is a USB and also how I can save the back up in the new reinstall? | 01:42 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | hehe | 01:42 |
| h00k | MikeH_: you can add that to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT | 01:42 |

| TheOracle | zain: Sure you got the syntax correct? | 01:42 |
| soundconjurer | So any fixes? Any takers? | 01:42 |
| mackey | does anyone know a command to get the label of a particular ext2/ext3 volume? | 01:42 |
| h00k | MikeH_: you should see 'quiet splash' there right now, you can just add more stuffs after that | 01:42 |
| synical | suggestion/suggest | 01:42 |
| sebsebseb | zain: you can get help in #ubuntu-server | 01:42 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | soundconjurer, the only thing that was worse than my way was looking at a black screen and cussing | 01:43 |
| soundconjurer | Or is this release just a flop? | 01:43 |
| ChogyDan | luis_ where ever the usb is mounted, maybe something like /media/sdf983kj49d8f983l4kj9d8f3klj49e8f | 01:43 |
| zain | TheOracle: pretty sure. "173.203.214.223 testing " | 01:43 |
| soundconjurer | Or maybe a different distro | 01:43 |
| soundconjurer | Got it. | 01:43 |

| MikeH_ | meh | 01:43 |
| MikeH_ | not keen on this, but fair enough :/ | 01:43 |
| h00k | MikeH_: once you do that, do sudo update-grub and it will generate a new grub menu | 01:43 |
| MikeH_ | I'll try it | 01:43 |
| h00k | MikeH_: so, that line would look like blablabla="quiet splash VGA=yourptionshere" | 01:44 |
| mrbook1 | Seems that no camera is loaded when I use Cheese | 01:44 |
| MikeH_ | h00k: yeah. done that, just rebooting now to see | 01:44 |

| h00k | MikeH_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#User-defined%20Entries | 01:45 |

Just tried what you suggested to sort the Plymouth issue out in other channel, in a virtual machine, has worked there.

| hiexpo | what is the command to see the list of my drives | 02:01 |
| matthew123 | guest1 just follow ubottu's instructions, just copy and past everything between the arrows (not including the arrows) | 02:02 |
| j800r | it would've included flash and a lot of other useful codecs, and it's better supported | 02:02 |
| crdlb | kzman: anything that relies on gtk1.x is probably so old that it wouldn't work for other reasons though | 02:02 |

| kzman | Gnea, no, the installer is independient to the cd | 02:11 |
| haavaros | queso: gnome-volume-control seems to be a part of gnome-media. Can you check it's status in Synaptic? | 02:11 |
| Gnea | kzman: is the installer asking for the cd? | 02:12 |
| guest1 | hello matthew and wildbat | 02:12 |
| guest1 | that command does not work. i copied and pasted into terminal | 02:12 |
| kzman | Gnea ,yes, this installer is downloadable only | 02:12 |
| dharrison | i have data coming into rsyslog and into a mysql database, but now i need to break it up in chunks. does anybody know how please? | 02:12 |
| Dark_Wolf | Alright.... the upgrade to the new version of Ubuntu botched everything on my Ubuntu installation. Now GRUB is flashing "Windows Recovery Environment." Should I be worried? | 02:12 |

| localgh0st | GeekSquid, yes it's installed, should I try without it? | 02:15 |
| kzman | Gnea, it is a good game | 02:15 |
| phearret_ | dante123: yes you can as long as you have root access to make it system wide on all users | 02:15 |
| Loshki | Gnea: nope, just the expected ext2, ext3, devtmpfs, tmpfs, vfat and nfs filesystems. A quick google turned up this from 2005 where someone was complaining of the same thing: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-11721.html so maybe it's not a new problem after all? | 02:15 |

| queso | haavaros: Shouldn't there just be some command I can run that would open it up? if you edit Volume Control in Startup Programs, what command is there? | 02:16 |
| dante123 | well, i tried like ten times over the phone with my dad...but to no avail. It just won't connect....it tries but fails. We have checked and double checked the username and password with ISP. Of course, they say the do not support linux....so no help from them. | 02:16 |
| phearret_ | guest1: did you sudo it when you installed or ran it ?? | 02:16 |
| dante123 | I thought it might be the authentication that is giving the problem....like eap, etc. | 02:16 |
| haavaros | queso: It's gnome-volume-control-applet | 02:16 |
| guest1 | wildbat we can troubleshoot panel issue later.. just tell me how do i bring back network manager icon on the panel/system notification area | 02:16 |
| matthew123 | guest1 try just: killall gnome-panel. I'm going to be honest though, upgrading to 10.04 from 9.10 caused major issues for me with the panels. I had to do a fresh install. | 02:17 |
| justntime | I used to go with i386 just because I knew there was more support..say flash, drivers..etc. Is there any awesome performance advantage to compel me to go with the amd64 version if I can support it? | 02:17 |
| Gnea | dante123: so what version of Ubuntu is he using? | 02:17 |
| gluonman | If I have two installations of grub on two separate discs (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb), how can I change the default regarding which grub gets loaded when I start my computer? | 02:17 |

| dante123 | 9.10 Gnea | 02:17 |

| localgh0st | GeekSquid, same result without the package... | 02:17 |
| acerimmer | gluonman: the most recent write will be default | 02:17 |
| GeekSquid | localgh0st: another thing, in order for flash sound to work you need to be running the desktop kernel.. disabling "it" doesn't technically change anything, except it falls back to esound, then OSS then ALSA, depending on how your sound is setup in lucid .. as we are using pulse audio in lucid by default, you'd need to have "it" un installed for it to fall back to pulse, except that in my case it works with or without it installed | 02:17 |
| guest1 | matthew this was a fresh install. i wiped vista and only installed linux ubuntu for first time.. i am a newbie and hence FRUSTRATED | 02:17 |
| gluonman | acerimmer, I know. How do I change the default has been my question. | 02:18 |
| haavaros | queso: Np. Yeah, or just add it to startup programs | 02:18 |
| hiexpo | oops booted myself | 02:18 |

| gluonman | acerimmer, that was my initial idea, but it didn't work. | 02:19 |
| Gnea | dante123: not that I'm aware of, but then, I haven't done dsl/pppoe in years. When I did, I used pppoeconfig, like the website suggests to do. after a few runs through it, I got it to connect, so it wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either. | 02:19 |
| wildbat | guest1, try run nm-applet | 02:19 |
| localgh0st | GeekSquid, what are you suggesting I do then? | 02:19 |

| Zelozelos | navigate to app, metacity, general, find the right key and change it to menu:minimize,maximize,close | 02:37 |

| Zelozelos | heay Dr_Willis ive been hoping to catch you in here if anyone knows, you will my places with the menu bar wont open the locations, its not a bookmark issue ive already tried that resolve w no luck, even the desktop one dosent work which isnt a bookmark, the error is "Could not open location 'file:///home/ed' No application is registered as handling this file | 02:54 |
| * NoobInUbuntu ... :-( | 02:54 | |
| fathul | hi | 02:54 |
| nb72 | fresh install of lucid tried nvidia current and 185 | 02:54 |
| cruud | How do I put a panel on an external display | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Bash128: i would try plug in external monitor again, try the laptosp special fn keys see if display comes back to one of them. Normally that key has several modes it goes through. Internal, extermal, clone, | 02:54 |
| nb72 | any ideas? | 02:54 |
| lee_ | anon8 I looked in lsmod but don't see the video driver | 02:54 |
| Bash128 | anon0, I have not understood | 02:54 |
| wildbat | NoobInUbuntu, sorry idk your issue ~ don't cry ~ /hug ~ | 02:54 |
| krummlauf | i installed a dual-boot using wubi, then i reformatted without uninstalling wubi on my netbook, im supposed to have 160 GB, but it seems im missing 10 GB...is there a hidden partition im not aware of? | 02:55 |
| daftykins | Zelozelos: you need to open nautilus and change the default action for folders | 02:55 |
| deborah | i dl'd wine and WoW still wont install and i get the same error. am i doing something wrong? I got wubi ubuntu 10.4, should i get a different version | 02:55 |
| Bash128 | Dr_Willis, ok I will try this another twice | 02:55 |
| Bash128 | thanks | 02:55 |
| zetheroo | does anyone have any input on shared printers and folder in Ubuntu? | 02:55 |
| moes | Downloaded lucid 10.04 using windows and instructions from Ubuntu documentation I continue to get a different md5sum on each download | 02:55 |
| cruud | What's the best itunes replacement? I have a Droid. | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Zelozelos: file assoication with the 'directory' type has been messed up I think. I normally just reset all my gnome settings. try a new user see if it works for them as a test Zelozelos | 02:55 |
| winXPuser | !anyone | zetheroo | 02:55 |
| ubottu | zetheroo: 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? | 02:55 |
| wildbat | Krumar, you have 160 GB not GiB ;p ~ | 02:55 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: how to do it? see samba | 02:55 |
| gartral | daftykins: system is randomly locking up, i cant boot sabayon or fedora cause HAL crashes while trying to get conf info from my /home drive (HAL being removed from ubuntu in favor of upstart breaks /home partitions that are needed by OSES that still use HAL. making reverting to old ubuntu impossible) and wine is causing lockups at sound events | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: it works ? :) is that input enough? | 02:56 |
| localgh0st | I guess I'm just destined to exist without sound in my flash :( | 02:56 |
| Zelozelos | Dr_Willis, i will , and if so how do i reset those settings? | 02:56 |
| zetheroo | winXPuser: read the question before answering! | 02:56 |
| matthew123 | cruud, I believe songbird works on droid, I may be wrong though | 02:56 |
| Krumar | wildbat, what? | 02:56 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: ha ... yeah .. no ... it doesn't ... it does and then it doesn't | 02:56 |
| daftykins | gartral: sorry for suggestions that you may have already heard, but is your computer perfectly stable? passes memtests? | 02:56 |

| NoobInUbuntu | who know where i can download plymounth themes? | 02:56 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: ive had quirks where as a user. i had to connect to a share . befir i could print | 02:57 |
| kermit | zetheroo: i like them! | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | NoobInUbuntu: theres several in the repos. | 02:57 |
| wildbat | Krumar, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte | 02:57 |
| cruud | I figured it out! You can drag panels like windows! Awesome! | 02:57 |
| progesterone | Dr_Willis Thanks | 02:57 |
| zetheroo | daftykins: yeah ... I have been through all of that so many times .. but no sooner do I have it set up then it ceases to work suddenly | 02:57 |
| progesterone | ZykoticK9 ubottu Thanks | 02:57 |
| anon0 | <localgh0st> try apt-get autoremove flashplugin-nonfree and then compile from source and put the .so file in /usr/lib/mozzilla/plugins as root | 02:57 |
| NoobInUbuntu | Dr_Willis, how i can find it ? what I should write in repo ? | 02:57 |
| cruud | matthew123 thanks!!! | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | NoobInUbuntu: fire up the synapatic package manager and search for 'plymouth' | 02:58 |
| ZykoticK9 | progesterone, glad to help | 02:58 |
| localgh0st | anon0, I've never compiled from source... | 02:58 |
| zetheroo | Dr_Willis: I just find that 80% of the time I cannot access anything on the network ... be it printers, files or folders | 02:58 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: it might be worth talking to samba people about your config | 02:58 |
| anon0 | <localgh0st> at your own risk | 02:58 |
| greenjon | progesterone, you got it figured out now? | 02:58 |
| Krumar | wildbat, you auto typed th wrong name, and i have over 2 TB | 02:58 |
| cruud | bye guys! happy already, first hour away from osx | 02:58 |
| anon0 | <localgh0st> it is easy go read | 02:58 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: could also be a driver issue with your server's given LAN interface | 02:58 |
| Zelozelos | NoobInUbuntu, keywords work, just keywords itll search filenames, package names and descriptions | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | zetheroo: could be a sign of a deeper samba issue. | 02:58 |
| localgh0st | anon0, I've tried everything else, why not | 02:58 |
| zetheroo | kermit: I like them too ... who are we talking about? :P | 02:58 |
| lee_ | How can I tell what video driver i'm using - in Lynx lucid. I deleted my intel driver, and don't know what driver i'm currently using. There is no xorg.conf file, so... | 02:58 |

| winXPuser | deborah what is the error message text? | 02:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | lee_, "lspci -vnvn" then find the VGA section and the line "kernel driver is use" good luck. | 02:59 |

| Zelozelos | NoobInUbuntu, yup, right click desktop, hit change background (easiest way to get to appearance) | 03:00 |

| zetheroo | daftykins: just extremely annoying that there are all these options in the GUI to share files and folders, but none of it works withotu tinkering in the background anyway | 03:00 |
| anon0 | <localgh0st> basically go find the source tar.gz at the adobe site | 03:00 |
| Zelozelos | NoobInUbuntu, then click the theme tab ;) | 03:00 |
| gartral | daftykins: also, i cant reformat my home cause i have so many different conf files, and i dont have a external or enough cds to hold it.. had i known upstart would completly fry hal i wouldnt have upgraded | 03:00 |

| NoobInUbuntu | Zelozelos, and u think it will show me plymounth themes too ? | 03:00 |
| moes | dafty | 03:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | deborah, see above not to debes | 03:01 |
| moes | daftykins, no I do not rename | 03:01 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: ah i see just the GUI stuff, mmm that and properly configured samba will be totally different | 03:01 |
| r3dhat | I have a slight issue with 10.04...I accidentally removed the icons from the top panel for empathy and all that. how do I get them back? | 03:01 |
| daftykins | !resetpanels | r3dhat | 03:01 |
| ubottu | r3dhat: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 03:01 |
| ZykoticK9 | lee, when i make a spelling or typo -- it's like a regular expression s/ for substitude "is" for "in" :) | 03:01 |
| zetheroo | daftykins: exactly ... I think all that rubbish GUI stuff should be banished until it actually works! | 03:01 |
| NoobInUbuntu | Zelozelos, I install some of themes, but it's not any effect :-) in right click > background :-) | 03:01 |
| Zelozelos | NoobInUbuntu, idk, probably any themes, but i personally dont care much bout the themes, i'll stick w the default one, but backgrounds on the other hand, i change all the time | 03:02 |
| phillipsjk | <localgh0st>, I am not sure why anon0 was telling you to compitle from source. The Falsh player from Adobe is a Binary blob. Just put the .so file (from Adobe) in ~/.mozilla/plugins (As a normal user: flash will only affect that user) | 03:02 |

| daftykins | moes: hmm, you could always just take the plunge and try it | 03:02 |
| r3dhat | thanks daftykins | 03:02 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: i know it works for some, plus things can't be trialled unless they're included. i understand your point though | 03:02 |
| moes | daftykins, I cannot burn an iso | 03:02 |
| anon0 | <phillipsjk> good call | 03:02 |
| zetheroo | daftykins: although in 8.04 and prior to that it actually seemed to work pretty well .... I don't know what happened since then to mess it all up | 03:02 |
| Zelozelos | NoobInUbuntu, itll help if i check out what plymouth themes are, 1 sec ;) | 03:02 |
| localgh0st | phillipsjk, and what about if I use chrome? Same path or somewhere else? | 03:02 |
| daftykins | moes: what's your intention as to how to install then? | 03:03 |
| lee_ | Well I found the Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel? With this driver I can't get higher then 1024x768 resolution | 03:03 |
| NoobInUbuntu | ok | 03:03 |
| lee_ | I'm on a 32in. screen | 03:03 |

| Mefached | How do I install Grub2? | 03:03 |
| hiexpo | raviepic3_, are you useing sudo in front of apt-get | 03:03 |
| gartral | daftykins: as far as suckage factor goes: this system was FINE a few days ago.. and now ubuntu is haywire | 03:03 |
| moes | daftykins, I have a second drive designated to ubuntu and want to install on that drive | 03:04 |
| Zelozelos | ahhhh now i see, you're tkin about the flash screen rofl, idk anything about that i thought you was talking about window themes | 03:04 |
| raviepic3_ | hiexpo, ye | 03:04 |
| raviepic3_ | yes | 03:04 |
| raviepic3_ | in order to install | 03:04 |
| raviepic3_ | is that the cause of this error ? | 03:04 |
| raviepic3_ | hiexpo, ^^ | 03:04 |
| Bash128 | My laptop does not display anything on screen. Do not show the bios, but it tries to read the CD and the hard disk. I have not given any shock or anything, any idea? | 03:05 |
| hiexpo | raviepic3_, looks like it or you have another repo open | 03:05 |
| daftykins | gartral: fine in Lucid and the same config, or? | 03:05 |
| daftykins | Bash128: booting a livecd or booting a previously working installation, or...? | 03:05 |
| Zelozelos | anyone know how reset the nautilus settings? | 03:06 |
| hiexpo | raviepic3_, oh you have synaptic open is what it says | 03:06 |
| gartral | daftykins: yea, lucid was up and flying, all my games were playing nicely, even alongside compiz.. running for months like that and all of a sudden: even firefox is fucked | 03:06 |
| raviepic3_ | hiexpo, another repo open ! ! | 03:06 |
| raviepic3_ | yes | 03:06 |
| Bash128 | daftykins, previoustly working normally with Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows XP | 03:06 |
| phillipsjk | localgh0st, I think Chrome uses Mozilla's plugin directory, but I am not sure. | 03:06 |
| raviepic3_ | but it didnt open synaptic | 03:06 |
| raviepic3_ | hiexpo, ^^ | 03:06 |
| lee_ | Nope I made a mistake Kernel Modules: i915 | 03:06 |
| zetheroo | daftykins: my household has a shared MF unit as well as a lot of media content that we are used to having shared over the network ... and with Windows it all works 80 - 90 percent of the time ... whereas with Linux it's the complete opposite ... makes it very hard to use Linux at all with those issues ... I have even been over the Ubuntu docs and what I have seen is all really old material ... | 03:06 |
| bazhang | gartral, stop cursing here | 03:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | gartral, i think the language has already been mentioned to you | 03:06 |
| hiexpo | raviepic3_, yes close synaptic or ubuntu software center or something is still installing and yu clsed the terminal | 03:07 |
| lee_ | Anyway to get it widescreen? | 03:07 |
| gartral | look.. im mad alright. im using speech to text and it aint filtering.. sorry | 03:07 |
| ejv | lies | 03:07 |
| daftykins | zetheroo: i am totally not a Linux fanboy, i actually run windows 7 on my desktop at the moment, but i genuinely believe there to be more than just Ubuntu or Linux to blame there | 03:07 |
| winXPuser | gartral, any firefox problem I caan help you with? | 03:07 |
| ejv | ^_^ | 03:07 |
| gartral | winXPuser: if you can tell me why firefox INSISTS on using a proxy even after ive purged it.. that'd be great | 03:08 |
| Bash128 | daftykins, 2 months ago it happens, but last weekend returned to work until now (sorry for my english) | 03:08 |

| CavalierPrime | Bash128: is this everytime you boot up or are you stuck from a hibernation? | 03:11 |
| phillipsjk | gartral: ISPs have been known to use "transparent" proxies. What are the symptoms you are complaining about? | 03:12 |
| temon | geekSquid: ok... I go to #hardware now... | 03:12 |
| kofler | i wanted to feel intelligent. so i came here | 03:12 |
| kofler | is ubuntu any better since 8.10 or whenever i stopped using that piece of junk? | 03:12 |
| Bash128 | CavalierPrime Yes, I remember I try to hibernate in Ubuntu last good boot! | 03:12 |
| kofler | on a serious note, does ubuntu have kickstart working yet? | 03:12 |

| CavalierPrime | Bash128: hold power for 4 secs to fully power down then reboot | 03:13 |
| gartral | phillipsjk: i know it isnt my isp.. chrome works, wine-firefox works, it's speciffically ubuntu ff thats borked.. it's saying the proxy is refusing connections when i have n damn proxy | 03:13 |
| kofler | i remember that was one really interesting bit about the ubuntu project | 03:13 |
| DarkHelmut | I've just finished the upgrade and my whole screen is "fuzzy" any ideas on how to address this? | 03:13 |
| rainofkayos | it appears programs are not starting properly when called from the indicator applet in my taskbar.. mail/pidgin/gwibber.. looks like they go into the process table and are running but not on a desktop anywhere,, and tty is ? for them.. is that a known issue? | 03:13 |
| temon | geeksquid: to join #hardware need an invitation... | 03:13 |
| bazhang | temon, register | 03:13 |
| daftykins | Bash128: oh i see, so you get no POST screen at all. how old is the computer? sounds like it needs some maintenance | 03:13 |
| bazhang | !register > temon | 03:13 |
| ubottu | temon, please see my private message | 03:13 |
| bazhang | temon, /join #freenode for help | 03:14 |
| gartral | phillipsjk: i even SET a proxy with adb with my droid (ADB teathering by proxy) and ff complains, when chrome and others just work | 03:14 |
| temon | ubottu: thanks.. | 03:14 |
| Guest249 | I have just installed 10.14 and when I go to change the screensaver I get white lines and the screen blinks why | 03:14 |
| Bash128 | daftykins, Acer Aspire 1692WLMi 2005 | 03:14 |
| Guest249 | 10.04....sorry | 03:14 |
| GeekSquid | kofler: alot of things happend since 08, and in my opinion ( which means nothing ) it is better, ubuntu uses upstart, not kickstart as you call it and it does work, | 03:14 |
| Bash128 | I don't show anything :( | 03:14 |
| gartral | daftykins: wow..im impressed, ubuntu stopped crashing | 03:14 |
| Mefached | gartral, why don't you just use chrome? | 03:15 |
| CavalierPrime | Bash128: hold power for 4 secs to fully power down then reboot | 03:15 |
| kofler | GeekSquid: what's the boot time like? still 1 minute+? | 03:15 |
| NoobInUbuntu | help me please! I install some plymouth themes from repo but I don't know how to change it now ? how to set one of them ? | 03:15 |
| daftykins | Bash128: oh a laptop. have you tried removing the mains power, removing the battery, then plugging in the mains only (and no battery) and trying? | 03:15 |
| gartral | Mefached: gmail: "your browser/operating system isnt test and may crash" and it does, unless i use ff.. | 03:15 |
| GeekSquid | kofler: uh, my lappy boots in about 35-40 seconds, I have heard good stories of 10 second boot times with Lucid, (in some cases) | 03:16 |
| gartral | anyway.. im done for now.. im rebooting into win7 so i can at least game | 03:16 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, got to softpedia there is a tutorial there on how to do it | 03:16 |
| raviepic3_ | hiexpo, nope i didnt open anything, i installed app using apt-get | 03:16 |
| raviepic3_ | thats it | 03:16 |
| NoobInUbuntu | hiexpo, can you give me link ? | 03:16 |
| NoobInUbuntu | !softpedia | 03:16 |
| ejv | mine takes around 10 | 03:16 |
| * NoobInUbuntu lol | 03:16 | |
| safe | Does anyone know if there's a way to make recieved messages minimized by default in emesene? | 03:16 |
| ejv | (seconds) | 03:16 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, one sec | 03:16 |
| Mefached | gartral, unless you're using some absolutely ancient version of chrome, that doesn't make any sense. | 03:16 |
| Mefached | Use the HTML interface, then. | 03:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | progre55, if you are using lucid these directions *should* work (i haven't tested though) http://tuxtweaks.com/2010/04/how-to-select-the-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/ | 03:17 |
| phillipsjk | gartral: on my computer Edit> preferences>(Advanced)>(Network)>Settings (button)>is set to "Use system proxy settings" | 03:17 |
| zetheroo | this information is useless and does not work! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 03:17 |
| kofler | GeekSquid: hahaha, still 35-40? | 03:17 |
| kofler | GeekSquid: wow, i'll come back in 5 years then | 03:17 |
| zetheroo | especially the Ubuntu 9.04 info | 03:17 |
| GeekSquid | kofler: 4 year old laptop | 03:17 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml | 03:17 |
| kofler | GeekSquid: yeah, i had a 3 year old laptop and it took a similar amount of time | 03:17 |
| kofler | still all eye candy and no solid ideas | 03:17 |
| perry_ | can anyone help me with a quick issue please? I am trying to run a script that amends a couple things in /sys/devices (trackpoint settings). The permissions appear fine, but it tells me 'Permission Denied' if I try sudo echo, but I can sudo vim or sudo gedit and change/save with no problem. Anyone have any directions on where to read up on it? | 03:18 |
| * Mefached wonders why cold boot matters when hibernate and suspend take even less. | 03:18 | |
| greenjon | kofler: i'd say it depends. my acer aspire one boots in 30 TOPS and my custom desktop is about the same. easily 30 secs or less | 03:18 |
| progre55 | ZykoticK9: thanks, let me have a look. | 03:18 |
| Guest249 | has any1 had problems when trying to change screensavers?? | 03:18 |
| kofler | oh really? my noncustom, stock archlinux boots in less than 10 | 03:18 |
| kofler | that's fully setup with wireless and kde4 | 03:18 |
| Mefached | kofler, lol "stock archlinux" clearly you don't understand what rolling release means | 03:18 |
| kofler | sad. why is ubuntu so far behind. quite seriously, i'd like to see it succeed | 03:18 |
| GeekSquid | kofler: you may have better luck with Lucid than I, my machine is really crap, but it works... 10 second boot times are possible on newer machines in Lucid running Grub2 and other enhancements provided by the newer kernels | 03:18 |
| Mefached | There's no such thing as stock Arch. Get out. | 03:18 |
| kofler | Mefached: no, as in, i didn't use any custom kernels | 03:19 |
| CavalierPrime | what OS do you run kofler? | 03:19 |
| phillipsjk | perry: script must be set executable. | 03:19 |
| psych | Hey guys is anyone aware of an alternative to remastersys? Or when remastersys might be back | 03:19 |
| Bash128 | yes daftykins | 03:19 |
| greenjon | kofler: awww come on. 30 isn't bad at all lol | 03:19 |
| kofler | Mefached: nice strawman though. | 03:19 |
| NoobInUbuntu | hiexpo, no u don't understand my question... I here is no any info how change themes :-) | 03:19 |
| Mefached | kofler, lol @ arch users who don't use custom kernels | 03:19 |
| perry_ | it executes, it just doesn't save the settings. | 03:19 |
| Mefached | Grow some balls or don't | 03:19 |
| NoobInUbuntu | how select one other :-) | 03:19 |
| bazhang | psych, ubuntu customization kit | 03:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | perry_, you might ask in #bash if you don't get an answer here. FYI sudo do not cross pipes so if your script relies on them you need to use tee instead. good luck man. | 03:19 |
| psych | bazhang, thanks i'll check it out | 03:19 |
| kofler | Mefached: ah, still the lowest common denominator occuping the user base i see | 03:19 |
| Mefached | My laptop uses a kernel I customized because if I'm going to run Arch or Gentoo I'm going all out | 03:19 |
| GeekSquid | bazhang: Hammer, nails, glue | 03:19 |
| bazhang | GeekSquid, what? | 03:19 |
| Mefached | Just stopping by Ubuntu to test 10.04 on my family desktop | 03:19 |
| kofler | hahaha, going all out. i used gentoo back in my "i'm hardcore" phase | 03:19 |
| GeekSquid | bazhang: ubuntu customization kit? | 03:20 |
| Mefached | kofler, spoiler: I actually use Arch. :) | 03:20 |
| perry_ | thanks for the responses. 10.04 working pretty well for me. Take care all. | 03:20 |
| bazhang | kofler, Mefached lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:20 |
| Guest249 | Im soooo lost help pleases | 03:20 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, themes or splash screen to change theme right click on desktop/change desktop back ground/ click themes / drop your file you downloaded in there and than hit customize | 03:20 |
| daftykins | perry_: it would seem from a quick google to check, that /sys is a kernel related folder and may not actually be anything you can edit (i may be wrong). just as /proc is a virtual filesystem provided by the kernel | 03:21 |
| Bash128 | CavalierPrime, I think isn't hibertating, cause the CD do sound when I introduce a CD | 03:21 |
| mdel | why is the default refresh rate set to 50hz? | 03:21 |
| NoobInUbuntu | hiexpo, it's plymouth theme, and I download it with sinaptic manager | 03:21 |
| GeekSquid | mdel: are you in europe? | 03:21 |
| Bash128 | CavalierPrime, is so strange this pffffffff | 03:21 |
| h00k | !ask | Guest249 | 03:21 |
| ubottu | Guest249: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:21 |
| mdel | GeekSquid: nope | 03:21 |
| mdel | GeekSquid: wait... ok nom definitely not | 03:22 |
| mdel | no* | 03:22 |
| psych | bazhang, this may be silly but I've already done whatever I wanted to do in virtual box. I'd like to export that to a iso or something | 03:22 |
| Trolum | how i can edit the inittab in Ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| perry_ | daftykins: I am able to edit it, just not via echo. Thanks for the added input though, I will do some more looking. | 03:22 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, so the theme you wanna change is in the enviroment right | 03:22 |
| phillipsjk | Guest249 !ask | 03:22 |
| psych | ubuntu customization kit would make me do it all over it seems | 03:22 |
| phillipsjk | !ask | 03:22 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 03:22 |
| rww | ubottu: inittab | Trolum | 03:22 |
| NoobInUbuntu | hiexpo, I think yes | 03:22 |
| ubottu | Trolum: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 03:22 |
| hoglahoo-Lee | my sound preferences volume bar always reads "unamplified 100%" no matter where I slide the bar. Is that normal? | 03:22 |
| FeasibilityStudy | Can anyone tell me how I can change the system from metric to imperial? | 03:23 |
| Guest249 | ok, so I was trying to change the screensaver in the new distro and I guess the thing locked up. It changed the screen to white lines halfway down the screen and then it blinked onn and off | 03:23 |
| * phillipsjk didn't read all the back-scroll | 03:23 | |
| FeasibilityStudy | I have looked and looked and see nowhere to do this. | 03:23 |
| crdlb | hoglahoo-Lee: those are marks on the bar, not the curent status | 03:23 |
| FeasibilityStudy | In KDE, it's simple | 03:23 |
| GeekSquid | mdel: the monitor is reporting that back to the video card, which is strange, as 50hz is commonly used in europe, you may have one of those strange monitors that reports that back, normally 60hz, 70hz or 85hz is the norm | 03:23 |
| crdlb | hoglahoo-Lee: ie the first notch is unamplified, and the second one is 100% | 03:23 |
| hoglahoo-Lee | ah, lol. thanks | 03:24 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, ok than right click on desktop / than click change desktop back ground / than click theme and change it and you can customize it to by clicking customize | 03:24 |
| mdel | GeekSquid: yeah I thought it seemed weird. i just set it to 60hz | 03:24 |
| losing | Any reason why applications on lucid can't seem to connect to a network? Web browsing works fine, but nothing else can connect to the internet / local network | 03:24 |
| hoglahoo-Lee | widening the window makes it obvious. thanks | 03:24 |
| NoobInUbuntu | hiexpo, there is no any of plymouth themes.. | 03:24 |
| phillipsjk | Guest249: did you check some kind of "use fullsceen" button? maybe the monitor does not like the chosen screen mode. | 03:25 |
| deborah | i have a 1tb hard drive that has windows vista on it and also linux. i tried installing a game and it said i need at least 15GB of space for the game. how do i get more space on the linux side? | 03:25 |
| Guest249 | oh, I also have lucid on my laptop and i have had no trouble with it at all | 03:25 |
| progre55 | ZykoticK9: thanks man, appreciate =) it worked | 03:25 |
| hiexpo | NoobInUbuntu, when you get to themes click customize youll find it | 03:25 |
| Bash128 | CavalierPrime, any more ideas? | 03:25 |
| Bash128 | (thanks for all) | 03:25 |
| phearret | kofler: as usual the boot time is dependent on variables like which manager, how many effects, how much eye candy .. etc and then the hardware bottleneck issues | 03:25 |
| progre55 | ZykoticK9: now I somehow need to fix the poor resolution problem.. | 03:25 |
| ZykoticK9 | progre55, glad to help | 03:26 |
| magn3ts | After upgrading, my Nvidia kernel extension has taken to requiring me to reinstall it constantly. I have to uninstall all of my nvidia packages and reinstall them, and then when I reboot, it's managed to get screwed up again. | 03:26 |
| bikcmp | Erm, I was upgrading to ubuntu 10.04, and it says 3 hours remaining... this can't be right, can it? lol | 03:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | FeasibilityStudy, are you using lucid? | 03:26 |
| bikcmp | that's... a lot of time. | 03:26 |
| jiohdi | bikcmp: yes | 03:26 |
| magn3ts | bikcmp, my upgrade took like 5 hours total | 03:26 |
| Guest249 | phillips, i went to do the preview and it just locked up. so I tried again and while browsing thru them it did it | 03:26 |
| * bikcmp hits head on table | 03:26 | |
| magn3ts | bikcmp, its worth it | 03:26 |
| bikcmp | I wish I knew that before I started it at 10:30 hehe | 03:26 |
| greenjon | bikcmp: really worth it :D | 03:27 |
| phillipsjk | bikcmp: how many packages at 10 seconds each? | 03:27 |
| * bikcmp kills the process. | 03:27 | |
| bikcmp | :p | 03:27 |
| magn3ts | uh | 03:27 |
| bikcmp | Yea, I know, it's a joke. :p | 03:27 |
| FeasibilityStudy | ZykoticK9: yes | 03:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | FeasibilityStudy, System / Admin / Language support - Text tab - "Display numbers, dates and currency ammount in the usual format for" dropdown to a country that uses the format you want. | 03:27 |
| bikcmp | but gosh, why is it going to take so long? | 03:27 |
| rainofkayos | is there a place indicator-applet errors would get logged? | 03:27 |
| Code_Bleu | I ran the 10.04 upgrade alternative CD and it got to prob 99 percent complete just before the cleanup part and crashed. It is complaining about selinux. I installed this a long time ago, and thought that i remove it. What do i need to do to get selinux off and verify that the upgrade can finish successfully? | 03:28 |
| magn3ts | bikcmp, it takes a long time to generate this much magic. except my nvidia problems of course | 03:28 |
| Bash128 | My laptop does not display anything on screen. I can't see the bios, but it tries to read the CD and the hard disk. I have not given any shock or anything, any idea? | 03:28 |
| wizard_ | Code_Bleu: go into Synaptic and unmark SELinux | 03:28 |
| CavalierPrime | Bash128: unplug your laptop, take the battery out. After 2 mins put it back in and try to reboot | 03:28 |
| phillipsjk | bikcmp: because you are updating all the installed software at the same time. | 03:28 |
| deborah | I have a 1tb hard drive and it's partitioned with windows and linux. i tried installing a game on it but it says i need at least 15GB of space. how do i fix this problem so that i have more space on the linux side? | 03:28 |
| Code_Bleu | wizard: I have tried 'sudo apt-get remove selinux' with and without -f and nothing works...do you want me to paste the error? | 03:29 |
| siOuX_ | where i find a virtual print to BMP? | 03:29 |
| CSSnub | I'm having a lot of trouble with my laptop wireless (Intel 5100) and 10.04, anybody else had issues? It drops the connection about every 15secs if I'm using the web - command line I'm fine though. Haven't had an issue in IRC or using apt-get, but Google Docs kills my wifi repeatedly. | 03:29 |
| zetheroo | ow do you restart samba in Lucid? | 03:29 |
| phearret | Bash128: what happens without the disc after what CavalierPrime: states | 03:29 |
| CSSnub | I uninstalled NetworkManager and I'm using WICD now, not much better. | 03:29 |
| wizard_ | Code_Bleu: try sudo apt-get purge packagename | 03:30 |
| doleyb_ | CSSnub: i have trouble with ath5k wireless driver, but I guess you have a different chip. | 03:30 |
| Bash128 | ok CavalierPrime | 03:30 |
| kandinski | Gnome starts but Metacity doesn't | 03:30 |
| wizard_ | Code_Bleu: then apt-get autoremove | 03:30 |
| hoglahoo-Lee | what game requires 15gb of space. holy cow | 03:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | siOuX_, not sure about the print to BMP - but you might find using screenshots easier | 03:30 |
| kandinski | how can I recover it? | 03:30 |
| deborah | wow | 03:30 |
| bikcmp | what's the command to start the lucid upgrade from the command line? | 03:30 |
| Bash128 | pheareet nothing, it dont boot | 03:30 |
| bikcmp | apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't do much. | 03:30 |
| siOuX_ | ZykoticK9, How? | 03:30 |
| Sylphid | bikcmp, do-release-upgrade | 03:30 |
| CytotoxicTCell | Does ubuntu support turbo mode on I5? | 03:30 |
| Code_Bleu | wizard_: that doesnt work either | 03:30 |
| FeasibilityStudy | ZykoticK9: Thanks. What I really want, though, is to get rid of the 0 in front of my time. For instance right now I am showing "09:30" PM. I want to get rid of that 0. | 03:30 |
| Bash128 | don't show me anything | 03:30 |
| Code_Bleu | wizard: this is what i get "E: selinux: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127" | 03:31 |
| CavalierPrime | deborah: d/l partition magic | 03:31 |
| Pici | bikcmp: sudo do-release-upgrade | 03:31 |
| Pici | bikcmp: check do-release-upgrade -h for options | 03:31 |
| deborah | will do ty | 03:31 |
| wizard_ | Code_Bleu: I suggest you use the Synaptic GUI and make sure it and all dependancies are removed. | 03:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | FeasibilityStudy, siOuX_ both get ? as a reply i'm affraid :) good luck guys. | 03:31 |
| phillipsjk | si0uX_ ouch! What resolution are you thinking of? | 03:31 |

| === William_ is now known as Guest80542 | ||
| phearret | power it down & disconnect the HDD .. double check the video cables then try to boot to see if you get anything | 03:31 |
| Code_Bleu | wizard_: i did, and that is the error i got "E: selinux: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 127 | 03:31 |
| CSSnub | Can somebody help me diagnose these wifi issues? Is there some sort of error log generated by WICD? | 03:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | siOuX_, to take a screenshot Application / Accessories / Take screenshot - and configure it to only take a window, the timer is handy as well. | 03:32 |

| phillipsjk | CytotoxicTCell, This sounds like a homework assignment... | 03:34 |
| exobit | awesome* | 03:34 |
| rainofkayos | is it normal for the indicator applet thing to not work at all? | 03:34 |

| phearret | Bash128: ok ... should still be able to disconnect the hard drive.. trying to get the system to boot without HDD or cd | 03:34 |
| zetheroo | how do you restart samba in Lucid? | 03:34 |
| CytotoxicTCell | since ubbotu told me | 03:35 |
| Guest249 | woould it be the monitor that screws up when it does the lines on-screen and blinks....or is it the PC? | 03:35 |
| rainofkayos | restart smbd | 03:35 |
| Guest249 | cause it is not set to be fullscreen | 03:35 |
| hololight | Guest249: could be the cable/ connectors | 03:35 |
| wizard_ | konner: go into preferences and make sure it isnt set to save opened tabs. | 03:35 |
| hoglahoo-Lee | konner: the firefox setting tells it to do so | 03:35 |

| Guest249 | but I use this on my laptop running this distro | 03:35 |
| wizard_ | CytotoxicTCell: that's generally not a good idea, for security reasons. | 03:35 |
| konner | I have it to start up to the homepage | 03:36 |
| konner | not keep the tabs | 03:36 |
| CytotoxicTCell | even if i am the only user on my laptop? | 03:36 |
| konner | but it keeps them anyways | 03:36 |
| bazhang | CytotoxicTCell, why would you ever want to do that | 03:36 |
| wizard_ | bazhang: lazyness. | 03:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | CytotoxicTCell, lets just say "it's not supported" | 03:36 |
| CytotoxicTCell | ok | 03:36 |
| jiohdi | CytotoxicTCell: its part of the reason viruses have no foot hold on linux | 03:36 |

| CSSnub | ZykoticK9, 10.04 is causing my Intel 5100 agn wireless adapter to drop the connection every 15-30 seconds, but only when I'm doing something that requires bandwidth like Google Docs or video | 03:45 |
| uLinux | GeekSquid command is "clamtk %F" | 03:46 |
| CSSnub | ZykoticK9, I already tried swapping out NetworkManager for WICD | 03:46 |
| nb72 | Now I'm really confused. When I go to gmail the screen goes blank (all black) for a second, does this a few times, and then gets stretched diagonal. It's consistent and I've tried two of the nvidia drivers, and the default one with no change. | 03:47 |
| ZykoticK9 | CSSnub, sounds like it might be this bug - you should read it, see if it applies to you and add yourself if it does. good luck. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/378189 | 03:47 |

| abadabad00 | TraceRoute and nb72 - I am using the 195 NVIDIA drivers and everything is okay here... | 04:13 |
| nb72 | No | 04:13 |
| abadabad00 | Can anyone help with my sound issue? | 04:13 |
| h00k | !anyone | 04:13 |
| ubottu | 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? | 04:13 |
| Scunizi | I'm into my new upgrade but I have no idea what video driver is being used.. It won't let me install the nvidia binary and I uninstalled the neuvou (sp?) driver.. xorg.conf isn't controlling anything at the moment. What do I enter in cli to find out what driver is being used? | 04:13 |
| abcabc | is there a configuration menu somewhere for the (what I think is called the) MeMenu? the indicator-applet-session display in the top right of gnome? | 04:14 |
| Cornwall1 | Hi, how do I run a script at resume? I keep seeing posts about placing a script in /etc/acpi/resume.d, but there is no such folder. Creating one doesn't make it work | 04:14 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, lsmod | 04:14 |
| GodricBrutus | sometimes it takes me at least 3 double-click tries to double click something. can anyone help me with that? | 04:14 |
| bastid_raZor | Zelozelos: cairo-dock will.. you can have sub docks that are detached from the main dock | 04:14 |
| acegiak | does 10.04 netbook remix have a decent on screen keyboard? | 04:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | abcabc, i don't think the me-menu is very configurable at the present time. | 04:14 |
| Zelozelos | ahh thank you bastid_raZor ill give that one a look | 04:14 |
| Bash128 | My laptop does not display anything on screen. I can't see the bios, but it tries to read the CD and the hard disk. I have not given any shock or anything, any idea? | 04:14 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: looks like it's the nouveau driver but I thought I'd uninstalled it. | 04:15 |
| phearret | Bash128: ah .... ok did you try the BIOS key ie esc or F1 etc ?? | 04:15 |
| h00k | Bash128: if you can't even see the BIOS, your backlights might be out | 04:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | abcabc, me-menu relies heavily on Gwibber, so check for your setting in there. | 04:15 |
| abcabc | zykotick9 or anyone: can i turn off the thing where it sometimes shows a bubble with chat text in it, floating on the screen? | 04:15 |
| raviepic3 | when i try to install any package using synaptic i get this error http://pastebin.com/7y0J4N2K | 04:15 |
| Zelozelos | Bash128, do you see anything at all? | 04:15 |
| abadabad00 | something is wrong with my sound configuration in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. When I start up Ubuntu I see three dashes next to my volume icon (instead of the normal three waves). Indeed something is wrong with the sound - playing audio files produces a strange oscillating sound... To fix the issue I run paconfig and choose advanced configuration, and 'combine all sinks into one'. After this, my volume icon correctly displays waves and p | 04:15 |
| abadabad00 | laying audio works correctly. The issue is that if I restart, or even log out and log back in, the problem reappears and I have to repeat the solution... Can anyone help? [More background info: I upgraded from 9.10 and this problem didn't exist before the upgrade. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 and an M-Audio Audiophile 192. I just got the M-Audio card after the upgrade to 10.04, but the problem was there before putting in that | 04:15 |
| abadabad00 | second card.] | 04:15 |
| FloodBot4 | abadabad00: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:15 |
| nb72 | Ok, just had the same thing happen with crome browser. One second while I un@#$ the display. | 04:15 |
| Bash128 | phearret, yes, don't see anything | 04:16 |
| phearret | Bash128: any of the bios beeps ? | 04:16 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf => reboot => check to see what the recommended hardware driver lists for your machine to use => should be two or three => start on the first, etc etc etc...if they don't work, again, delete the xorg.conf and try again... | 04:16 |
| nb72 | OK. I can see again. | 04:16 |
| abcabc | zykotick9: i've uninstalled gwibber and i use pidgin instead of empathy | 04:16 |
| zetheroo | another LTS release with broken network shares ... doh | 04:16 |
| zetheroo | I am glad at least we have a new Ubuntu look ... :P | 04:17 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Works fine here amte. | 04:17 |
| onetinsoldier | abadabad00: did you click on the speaker icon and then click on 'Sound Preferences and then configure the sound card in there? | 04:17 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: you sharing folders and printers? | 04:17 |
| raviepic3 | when i try to install any package using synaptic i get this error http://pastebin.com/7y0J4N2K | 04:17 |
| nb72 | YankDownUnder: what was that bit about deleting Xorg.conf? think I should try that? | 04:17 |
| kswan | abadabad00: try booting into the live CD. See if it works there. If it works in the live CD, it might be an upgrade problem. | 04:17 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, yeppers mate...however, I did manually double check my smb.conf beforehand... | 04:18 |
| Bash128 | h00k batery seems work ok | 04:18 |
| Oddbio | Hello. I have a screen brightness issue after installing the new 10.04 LTS. I had Windows XP on it and the screen brightness was set to the lowest setting. Once I installed Ubuntu, the screen brightness is now stuck at that low setting even though the Ubuntu screen brightness applet says it's at 100%. It also won't let me move the brightness slider at all, it's stuck at 100% (even though screen is dark). Is there perhaps a way to change it | 04:18 |
| phearret | Bash128: is the ubuntu disc live boot ? if so what if you use it ? | 04:18 |
| FeasibilityStudy | How much RAM are your systems running? I have 2GB and am using about 60%. | 04:18 |
| Bash128 | Zelozelos, anything | 04:18 |
| YankDownUnder | nb72, Worked here in the lab mate. | 04:18 |
| h00k | Bash128: your backlight might be out on your monitor, then | 04:18 |
| YankDownUnder | FeasibilityStudy, RAM works differently in unix/bsd/linux than under M$ | 04:18 |
| deborah | i tried partitioning my hard drive for more space on the linux side and I'm slightly freaked out because I think i may have erased the windows side of the hard drive. what do i do to try to partition my drive? also, did i really just erase my drive? it says unallocated 1tb | 04:18 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: did one better.. just renamed it.. nothing shows in the driver list.. looking in synaptic I see the nvidia drivers up to vers. 185 but I've been running the 195 binary blob from nvidia.. when trying to install that it complains that the kernel was either compiled with a lower version of gcc or it has a residual left from (insert 2 file names here that I forgot.) | 04:18 |
| nb72 | YankDownUnder: so just delete the Xorg.conf and reboot? | 04:19 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: I have been in there too .. nothing seems to make it work ... I had it working to the point where I could see the other systems shared folders ... but that lasted for just under 2 minutes ... | 04:19 |
| YankDownUnder | backlight on an LCD is called the F/L inverter | 04:19 |
| Bash128 | phearret, whith any CD, I try supregrub disk, Ubuntu, Windows.... | 04:19 |
| abadabad00 | onetinsoldier - Yes. If I click on the icon and then 'Sound Preferences' BEFORE fixing the issue with paconfig the Sound preferences never come up. I forget the exact copy, but it tells me something like it is trying to load it, but never does. It all works fine after running paconfig though... | 04:19 |
| FeasibilityStudy | YankDownUnder: I know that. I am not talking about cached RAM here. | 04:19 |
| Bash128 | h00k, a hardware problem no? | 04:19 |
| onetinsoldier | abadabad00: hmmm, roger. i don't know, sorry | 04:19 |
| h00k | Bash128: that is what it sounds like to me | 04:19 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, You're using the stuff directly from NVidia instead of what's in the repos? | 04:19 |
| YankDownUnder | FeasibilityStudy, Just checking | 04:19 |
| Scunizi | polkitd is hammering 100% of 1 of my cpu's | 04:19 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: also when i share a folder I cannot select the Guest Access option anymore ... can you? | 04:19 |
| phearret | sounds like there is an issue with the bios if that doesnt load then it doesnt see any hardware | 04:20 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: I have since 6.06.. it just seems to work better on my system.. | 04:20 |
| YankDownUnder | nb72, ya - rename or delete - poweroff is best. | 04:20 |
| noah | hello, I'm new to ubuntu, and am trying to get terminal server client to connect to my vista machine on same network, but keep failing. Anyone have a suggestion? | 04:20 |
| Bash128 | h00k, but... i was boot this system this week, and the problemhas been ocurred last year | 04:20 |
| abadabad00 | onetinsoldier - I guess what I need to do is get whatever paconfig is doing set up in the startup of the machine | 04:21 |
| nb72 | YankDownUnder: poweroff as in click the shutdown right? not hold the power button? | 04:21 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, If you use a "brown bag" version of the smb.conf, and add the shares using the Samba configuration admin utility, all should be happy mate. | 04:21 |
| abadabad00 | onetinsoldier - where are sound configuration things placed in ubuntu 10.04? | 04:21 |
| onetinsoldier | abadabad00: yeah, sounds like that might be a reasonable solution | 04:21 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: what part of "down under" are you from? | 04:21 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, S'all good - I just gave up mucking with it and stuck to the "repo" stuff for clients - do other things for my personal systems | 04:21 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: is that in synaptic? | 04:21 |
| h00k | Bash128: If you cannot see your BIOS come up, that means that you are having a problem occuring before the SO even boots | 04:21 |
| Bash128 | h00k, in the past, I can boot this system when this problmen was | 04:21 |
| h00k | Bash128: OS * | 04:21 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Shire - below Sydney | 04:21 |
| Scunizi | xorg also goes to 200% of cpu rather regularly including dbus-daemon and rtkit- | 04:21 |
| wildbat_laptop | noah, what do you mean by connecting terminal server client? windows don't have ssh support | 04:22 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: oh ok .. I am in Adelaide | 04:22 |
| nb72 | OK. I'll be back after I give this a try. | 04:22 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Yes...you'll find the Samba admin util there | 04:22 |
| onetinsoldier | abadabad00: i don't know. i'd have to start looking around. | 04:22 |
| Bash128 | yes h00k | 04:22 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Adelaide is great - when it's not COLD | 04:22 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: yeah .. moving back to Sydney in August | 04:22 |
| onetinsoldier | abadabad00: perhaps in --> ~/.pulse | 04:22 |
| mark_ | having trouble getting a wireless card working in ubuntu - wireless chipset is 88w8335, using ndiswrapper on 64-bit machine, can anyone help? | 04:22 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: is it system-config-shares ? | 04:23 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Sutherland Shire, mate. Cheap, and far enough away | 04:23 |
| mark_ | I can install the driver with ndiswrapper but when I do "modprobe ndiswrapper", nothing happen | 04:23 |
| Bash128 | h00k, the update of my bios is impossible... there is an updater in Acer's website but ir runs in windows | 04:23 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Hang on... | 04:23 |
| caldwell | can someone tell me how to fic the lag in movie player plz | 04:23 |
| deco | caldwell: what CPU do you have ? | 04:23 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: yea.. this box I just upgraded from 8.10>9.04>9.10>10.04 yesterday.. everything was smooth until I hit 10.04 then the trouble began.. not much really.. just little annoyances.. like not being able to boot to the recovery kernel but desktop work.. dropping to TTY2 and issuing a gdm stop then trying to install the nvidia driver only to have it tell me X is still running.. etc.. weird.. | 04:24 |
| Bash128 | and I try to make an bootable USB whith the BIOS but dont boot from USB | 04:24 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, /usr/sbin/system-config-samba | 04:24 |
| caldwell | amd turion 64 | 04:24 |
| Scunizi | caldwell: use vlc | 04:24 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, Ain't happy on "upgraded" boxen mate...too much clutter laying about, and dangerous on my end | 04:24 |
| Jordan_U | Bash128: http://www.flashrom.org/ | 04:24 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: ok .. thats the one ... I suppose I should reinstall samba now that I have mucked with it | 04:24 |
| h00k | Bash128: Yeah, I guess I'm not sure if it's a BIOS problem, graphics card problem, or a monitor problem | 04:24 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Just steal a blank smb.conf and work from that... | 04:25 |
| caldwell | i had to use movie player to watch this quicktime clip to do my homework off the internet or can i switch it to vlc | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: yea.. I though I'd try it this time.. typically just fresh install.. I do have a cd so I may go that route still. | 04:25 |
| bikcmp | If I restart/shutdown the computer when it's upgrading to lucid... will it explode? (you get what I mean. as in what will happen?) | 04:25 |
| noah | wildbat, is it possible to connect remotely to a windows machine using terminal server? | 04:25 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: as in completely blank? | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | bikcmp: you'll be toast with burnt edges | 04:25 |
| un214 | explode no, but you have a slim chance of needing a rescue cd to fix it booting again | 04:25 |
| Bash128 | h00k ok thanks | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | bikcmp: Is it still downloading or actually installing packages? | 04:26 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, What can be done, with a live cd, is to manually blow out all the mods and kernel source links to the nvidia driver - then start again - know what I mean? | 04:26 |
| Bash128 | Jordan_U, thanks too | 04:26 |
| bikcmp | actually installing. | 04:26 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: btw, was there a Lucid release party in Sydney? | 04:26 |
| bikcmp | 4 hours left. it's 12 here. lol | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | Bash128: You're welcome. | 04:26 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Not completely blank, no - just the "barebones" smb.conf that comes with the original code | 04:26 |
| Scunizi | YankDownUnder: oh yea.. I just reformat / for the fresh install leaving the /home partition intact | 04:26 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Not sure - I had it on a boat...hehehehehehe | 04:26 |
| tech-mike | sebsebseb: well i tried what was on that softpedia link, and it didnt work - dont know if its because of nvidia or my resolution 1440x900-24 | 04:26 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: where would I find one of them? | 04:26 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: ahh ... good an ya | 04:26 |
| Jordan_U | bikcmp: Things could be very hard to fix if you reboot then. | 04:26 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, Yeah - tha'ts always a good one - just don't touch the /home part and you're good as gold - Bob's yer uncle! | 04:27 |
| bikcmp | Jordan_U: Oh. | 04:27 |
| un214 | thank goodness glibc is binary compatable backwards or you could be in a world of hurt | 04:27 |
| bikcmp | wouldn't apt-get -f install fix it? | 04:27 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, www.sydneytallships.com.au => had a to-do there | 04:27 |
| IdleOne | anyway I can use the Brother mfc-240c printer drivers which are included in lucid 32bit on 64bit? | 04:27 |
| un214 | bikcmp: if the machine comes up, yes | 04:27 |
| caldwell | how do i direct my ? to a certain person on xchat | 04:27 |
| bikcmp | lol, I see my pc transforming too. Background changing, all that stuff. | 04:27 |
| Scunizi | zetheroo: YankDownUnder you'll find it in /usr/share/doc/linpopup/examples/smb.conf .... also /usr/share/samba/smb.conf | 04:27 |
| onetinsoldier | caldwell: /msg <nick> | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | caldwell: Include their nick in your message. | 04:28 |
| zetheroo | Scunizi: thank you | 04:28 |
| YankDownUnder | Scunizi, Ta mate! | 04:28 |
| ubuntu | i pulled my HD from one computer an6d stuck it in a 2ed computer i need to revover the system how?? | 04:28 |
| PC | Hey guys | 04:28 |
| un214 | ubuntu: it probably boots | 04:28 |
| PC | abtibe gere | 04:28 |
| ubuntu | the sceen6 is messed up | 04:28 |
| Scunizi | zetheroo: the seocond reference is probably more like the original.. the other might be an "example" version | 04:28 |
| === piju[QRX] is now known as piju | ||
| un214 | if not, you need rescuecd to chroot in and reinstall grub | 04:28 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Mate, use that one, manually edit it and DON'T do anything other than change the workgroup name and add a share - should be all ya needs | 04:28 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder; I hope its that simple | 04:29 |
| nb72 | No luck. Still gets stretched. | 04:29 |
| MrKeuner | hi, how can I see what version of the microcode does the iwlagn driver use in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic | 04:29 |
| ubuntu | the system is messin6g up, i n6eed to recover the files | 04:29 |
| Scunizi | See ya all | 04:29 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: although that Guest Access option is greyed out now ... is it the same for you? | 04:29 |
| nb72 | Although now I can't configure with the nvidia display tool | 04:29 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, shut down Samba, then edit...should be right as rain from there | 04:29 |
| phillipsjk | Gha! I tried to load an old CD-ROM game: I'm not allowed because the file is not set as executable, even though the filesystem doesn't support execution permissions! | 04:30 |
| nb72 | I assume that's because the xorg.conf isn't there. | 04:30 |
| ubuntu | is there a recover mode on6 this live cd?_?_?_ | 04:30 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: ok ... thanks for your help mate! | 04:30 |
| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: is this using wine? | 04:30 |
| phillipsjk | yes | 04:30 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Set it up for "Security settings = share" and not "user" | 04:30 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder:: yep, I had that in my old file | 04:31 |
| safe | How do I make gnome resize by alt+right click, instead of middle click? | 04:31 |
| ravibn | I need the system tray to show up in Karmic 9.10 | 04:31 |
| phillipsjk | It may be possible to mount the CD-ROM with a blanket mask making all the files executable. | 04:31 |
| ubuntu | there is no recovery?_?_?_?_?_?_ | 04:32 |
| un214 | how would one fix a system so that logging into X as root is no longer inherently dangerous? | 04:32 |
| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: i has the same thing with Dune 2000 with the setup.exe in the root folder of the CD. however, there was a 'setup' directory on there, and in it there was a setup.exe which worked | 04:32 |
| un214 | ubuntu: there is | 04:32 |
| un214 | at worst case, reinstall on top of the existing w/o reformat | 04:32 |
| ubuntu | where is it?_ | 04:32 |
| h00k | ubottu: punctuation | ubuntu | 04:32 |
| ubottu | ubuntu: Punctuation is good, but its overuse hurts readability: Please refrain from adding many ?'s or !'s to the end of your sentences. See also !enter | 04:32 |
| crdlb | safe: gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button | 04:33 |
| safe | crdlb: Perfect, thanks. | 04:33 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: btw, what command do you use to restart/stop/start samba? | 04:33 |
| faron1 | Yesterday,I was cleaning off the ol' keyboard.But,before I began doing so,I completely spaced shutting down the ol' browser.Needless to say - I now have a bit of a problem.My main problem seems to be that I have no min/max/close/shade/hide buttons.That whole top row there seems to be gone.Anybody got any ideas what I did ? | 04:33 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, service samba restart (in a term as root) | 04:33 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Else, /etc/init.d/smb restart | 04:33 |
| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: is there an 'autorun.exe' on there? have you tried that? | 04:33 |
| Loshki | Gnea: turns out I'm having hardware problems (flaky disks)... | 04:34 |
| faron1 | Shoot.I'm sorry guys/gals.I really didn't mean to send that until tomaorrow | 04:34 |
| ubuntu | how do i recover my system usin6g the live cd?_?_?_ | 04:34 |
| safe | crdlb: Ah, forgot to mention I'm using compiz. | 04:34 |
| safe | (emerald that is) | 04:34 |
| h00k | ubuntu: what is wrong/what are you needing to fix? also, please drop the unnecessary punctuation | 04:34 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: see when I put samba in the first command I get "samba: unrecognised service" | 04:34 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: instead I have to use smbd .... why is that? | 04:35 |
| un214 | ubuntu: it's hard without knowing exactly what's broken. However reinstall over the existing w/o formatting/erasing should do it in most cases. | 04:35 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Strange that - well, you do the /etc/init.d/smb restart | 04:35 |
| phillipsjk | The problem is the autorun.exe is not set executable, neither is setup.exe DOS/Windows9x used extensions to determine if a file was executable. | 04:35 |
| crdlb | safe: well, that setting will work with gtk-window-decorator | 04:35 |
| pepee | zetheroo, SaMBa Daemon | 04:35 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Not sure mate...however, that's a mystery to ponder under the influence of beer...! | 04:35 |
| ubuntu | i pulled the hard driver from on6e computer that didn6't have a grapichs card, an6d in6satlled it in6 a computer that has a card an6d its all screwed up | 04:35 |
| safe | crdlb: Gotcha, I'll go into the compiz # instead. | 04:35 |
| un214 | phillipsjk: remount with umask=022 | 04:36 |
| zetheroo | YankDownUnder: And this command "sudo /etc/init.d/smb restart" doesn't work at all .... command not found | 04:36 |
| un214 | isn't it samba restart? | 04:36 |
| zetheroo | pepee: meaning? | 04:36 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Checking on machine here...hang one | 04:36 |
| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: roger. the only thing i can think of at the moment is to copy the cd to the hard drive, where you can set it as exec | 04:36 |
| hackel | Why does simply formatting an external drive bring my computer to a near halt? | 04:37 |
| un214 | hackel: I/O contention | 04:37 |
| ubuntu | hw d yu d that?? | 04:37 |
| crdlb | safe: now that I think about it, it should work with emerald too | 04:37 |
| charels88 | is anyone having problems with the lucid lynx live cd? i cant install from it | 04:37 |
| caldwell | can someone tell me how to switch movie player to x11 | 04:37 |
| pepee | zetheroo, it means that samba will run as a daemon (in background) | 04:37 |
| phillipsjk | onetinsoldier, both I and un214 mentioned an alternative: mount the disk such that all files are deemed executable. | 04:37 |
| winXPuser | charels88 what is the exact issue of yours? | 04:38 |
| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: ahh, sounds like that would work | 04:38 |
| zetheroo | pepee: ok ... but why are those commands not working for me? | 04:38 |
| charels88 | i can boot from it but it wont install i just stalls when i select it | 04:38 |
| YankDownUnder | zetheroo, Ah....ah ha...one of the machines HERE didn't have Samba installed on it - hence it didn't have the smb or samba service - however, the SMB configuration was there, and it's able to access SMB shares via GnomeVFS....right...so I'm installing Samba on that machine now (apt-get install samba) | 04:38 |
| Jordan_U | caldwell: If you mean totem, and you mean the video backend, use "gstreamer-properties". But before you do that, what are you trying to accomplish? | 04:38 |
| hackel | un214: So it's normal? I don't remember this being so bad before. It took me 3 minutes to type this sentence! | 04:38 |

| onetinsoldier | phillipsjk: you could also try asking in the #winehq channel about this | 04:39 |

| un214 | Guest99344: don't bother reinstalling anything, the problem is resident in your home directory | 04:44 |

| Guest99344 | un214: The problem exists on all 4 accounts on the system. | 04:44 |
| jrib | Guest99344: nautilus is responsible for your desktop | 04:45 |
| un214 | find . -user root might yeild the reason | 04:45 |
| Guest99344 | jrib: Yes, I understand. | 04:45 |
| jrib | TeenySHAD0W: best thing to do is probably to rebuild with the workaround in the comments | 04:45 |
| un214 | you see, the problem has to do with the config file change not sticking | 04:46 |
| Guest99344 | un214: yields nothing | 04:46 |
| jrib | TeenySHAD0W: assuming the workaround isn't already in lucid | 04:46 |
| TeenySHAD0W | i was able to find and install the workaround, but it doesn't do everything the original did. | 04:46 |
| Guest99344 | un214: I checked the ~/.gconf/.../%gconf.xml file relating to nautilus | 04:46 |

| TeenySHAD0W | 99334, i had that problem before. | 04:46 |
| jrib | TeenySHAD0W: well you can build the jaunty source package if you really want | 04:47 |
| TeenySHAD0W | had to load desktop and panel manually in startup. | 04:47 |
| TeenySHAD0W | the jaunty binary won't work in karmic? | 04:47 |

| TeenySHAD0W | doh. | 04:47 |
| TeenySHAD0W | i'm sorry, the karmic worked fine, the lucid one has issues. | 04:48 |
| jrib | TeenySHAD0W: right, rebuild the karmic source package, that's the cleanest way I can think of. You're also gonna have to pin the version so it doesn't get upgraded | 04:48 |

| TeenySHAD0W | hum. | 04:49 |
| TeenySHAD0W | okay, thank you. | 04:49 |
| jrib | TeenySHAD0W: you understand that by "source" I mean "source package". Not the make install dance | 04:49 |
| TeenySHAD0W | yes. | 04:49 |
| TeenySHAD0W | i'll probably just wait. | 04:50 |
| Guest99344 | jrib: No, it was always true. | 04:50 |
| jrib | Guest99344: so how do you set it to true...? | 04:50 |
| phillipsjk | un214, umask does not apply to iso9660 filesystems according to the mount man page. umask applies to "msdos, umsdos and vfat " | 04:50 |
| un214 | oh yes it does | 04:51 |
| Guest99344 | jrib: I opened the gconf-editor, on a hunch, turned it to false, then BACK to true, and that fixed it temporarily. | 04:51 |

I could not find a grub.conf file. | 04:56 |

| maxxist | What is a good app in the repos for decrypting dvd's? kinda like dvd-decrypter for windoze. i am not looking for transcoding. | 05:11 |
| jrib | adityag: you can update from update-manager, it will resume the download. But you could also use the alternate CD I suppose | 05:11 |
| CogitoErgoSam | might even just be a conflict that stops other drivers from loading for all I know | 05:11 |
| bz0b | i installed the lpr driver but it still doesn't detect the driver in the gui printing service | 05:11 |
| Guest99344 | jrib: Thanks for the link. I'll submit my information as well. Problem is, this is a family computer, I'm only visiting for a week. By the time this gets fixed, I'll likely be out of the state. | 05:11 |
| * ramenfan123 has had i915.modeset problems | 05:11 | |
| YankDownUnder | Guest99344, Ok...strange thing this - what about just quickly installed windowmaker on the system (small install), setting that as the default, make sure X boots graphically? Otherwise, I'm beginning to think that there is a residual issue in the /home dirs relating to .gnome* or .nautilus* or .config* or .cache* => but I'm guessing on history of your issue mate | 05:11 |

| ubottu | maxxist, please see my private message | 05:11 |
| adityag | jrib: whats the alternate cd? | 05:11 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Regardless, its a quick fix to try just by using E at the grub list and adding it to the boot params | 05:11 |
| Gryllida | !alternatecd | 05:11 |
| ubottu | The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the link on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 05:11 |
| CogitoErgoSam | if it works, great, if it doesn't, it only applies it for that session | 05:11 |
| jrib | Guest99344: see if you can workaround it by running gconftool on startup | 05:11 |
| bz0b | does anyone have any idea on how to help me with my prob | 05:11 |
| Guest99344 | YankDownUnder: The window manager boots fine. The issue is that I can't right-click the desktop or see any icons. | 05:12 |

| YankDownUnder | Guest22032, IF you can right-click the desktop in something else...ergo ergo ergo...checking to see if it's not something more...elimination of "the obvious" narrows down the "not so obvious" | 05:14 |
| adityag | jrib: that must be for amd processors, right? | 05:14 |
| CogitoErgoSam | linuxgecko: Not sure if it will help with that particular line of cards, but you can try the fix that worked for me by selecting the kernel from the grub list and pressing E | 05:15 |
| jrib | adityag: no, that's just the name for the architecture | 05:15 |
| adityag | ok | 05:15 |
| jrib | adityag: I'm using it on my core 2 duo right now :) | 05:15 |
| Guest99344 | YankDownUnder: Trying windowmaker. | 05:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | linuxgecko: then, right after where it says "quick splash" you can add "i915.modeset=1" on the same line | 05:15 |
| adityag | jrib: so i should download the alternate 1, right? | 05:15 |
| CogitoErgoSam | then boot with that and see if it works | 05:15 |

| chetnick | bz0b: go to gentoo, you'll probably get some help there. | 05:18 |

| mxe5 | linuxgec1o; I just used the shell command - head -n 5 /etc/apt/sources.list - and it said this - http://imagebin.org/95506 - So is this the Final release version ? I have been doing updates all along ? ? | 05:38 |
| abadabad00 | now to get ubuntu proper to do this..... | 05:38 |
| krelboyne | mook: if you really want to... go on and get a password for your root acount, that way you could access from gdm as root | 05:38 |
| YankDownUnder | UbuntuJeff, Ok..I'll take beer, and women | 05:38 |
| maco | mook_: why do you think windows gets so much malware issues? | 05:38 |
| UbuntuJeff | YankDownUnder, all I got is whiskey and no women sorry, but if you like whiskey got a full bottle in there | 05:38 |
| krelboyne | mook: not a good idea by the way | 05:39 |
| ravibn | YankDownUnder : Thanks a lot man got back all that was minimized | 05:39 |
| maco | mook_: i suggest you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo to get an idea of the security implications of what you want to do | 05:39 |
| YankDownUnder | MS Windows was designed from the beginning as a single user OS => basically a graphical menu system sitting ontop of MSDOS. It hasn't changed in the past 18 years much. | 05:39 |
| pvl1 | maco, what about a keyring? | 05:39 |
| maco | pvl1: what? | 05:39 |
| mook_ | i do not have full access to the entire system, i can't mod system files with just copy and paste like i can in windows, i been modding windows since 95.. | 05:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | YankDownUnder: cancel or allow? hehe | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | maco, if mook_ sets up a keyring, would the sys still bother him | 05:40 |
| YankDownUnder | PsynoKhi0, Both. | 05:40 |
| linuxgec1o | mxe5: that output makes no sense to me.. | 05:40 |
| maco | mook_: hint: thats a GOOD thing because it means *neither can crackers* | 05:40 |
| maco | pvl1: yes | 05:40 |
| maco | pvl1: the keyring has a password too :P | 05:40 |
| mthomas | hey! | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | mook_ ,ever crash a system | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | maco, oh right | 05:40 |
| pvl1 | lol | 05:40 |
| mook_ | linux is suppose to be OPEN SOURCE.... | 05:41 |
| mxe5 | linuxgec1o; ok - try a different one ? | 05:41 |
| UbuntuJeff | I know this is random, but I will say in my opinion I think 10.04 is better then 9.04 to me anyways. Seems to run smoother and faster. | 05:41 |
| Adman65 | I'm on 8.04 LTS, is there some way to upgrade to 10.04 LTS ? | 05:41 |
| Out_Cold | mook_, maco also means you can't 'accidentally' mess up your compy | 05:41 |
| maco | mook_: read th wiki page i linked you to | 05:41 |
| maco | mook_: itll answer your questions and tell you why you're making a big mistake | 05:41 |
| pvl1 | mook_, OPEN SOURCE means u can DOWNLOAD the SOURCE CODE | 05:41 |
| FeasibilityStudy | why is Ubuntu One downloading all the stuff I uploaded when I do a sync? I don't want it all back on my PC. | 05:41 |
| maco | Out_Cold: oy yeah that too | 05:41 |
| UbuntuJeff | Adman65, yeah upgrade to 8.10, then 9.04, then 9.10, then 10.04. you would be better off just doing a clean install. | 05:41 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: because thats what "sync" means | 05:41 |
| mxe5 | linuxgec1o; I know that why I'm confused about it reporting something about Beta | 05:41 |
| Out_Cold | FeasibilityStudy, that's One for ya... syncs all computers connected | 05:41 |
| bazhang | Adman65, UbuntuJeff lts to lts upgrade is supported in one step | 05:41 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: synchronized... matching... whatever's on your desktop matches the server | 05:42 |
| FeasibilityStudy | maco: yeah I understand that, but is there a way to turn off downloading? | 05:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | mook_: open source and privileges have nothing to do with each other actually | 05:42 |
| UbuntuJeff | bazhang, oh! sorry. I didn't know that. | 05:42 |
| Adman65 | bazhang: how ? | 05:42 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: so you just use it as an ftp server? | 05:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | user privileges* | 05:42 |
| FeasibilityStudy | maco: basically yeah | 05:42 |
| bazhang | !upgrade | Adman65 please read this | 05:42 |
| ubottu | Adman65 please read this: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 05:42 |
| FeasibilityStudy | remote storage | 05:42 |
| mook_ | i would be making a misstake by using windows, which can easily play all my games without locking them out, thats why i have firewalls, i never got a virus on windows in 3 years, i always checks my system prossess | 05:42 |
| Loshki | Adman65: note that if you are accustomed to and like 8.04 stability, I think it's premature to upgrade to 10.04... | 05:43 |
| AbuMaia1 | mook_ so why are you coming to Ubuntu if you haven't had problems with Windows? | 05:43 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: im not sure about that...its probably possible to set the server up as an ftp network folder, but i wouldnt know the info to give it to do that | 05:43 |
| Out_Cold | mook_, linux isn't for everyone. if you love windows so much, stick to it | 05:43 |
| Adman65 | need more up to date ruby packages | 05:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Funny that - after years and years of folks ALWAYS saying "Don't upgrade" - and that advice is reflected all over the net - everywhere you look - you still find people doing upgrades and wondering why they have issues...sorry, just had to state the obvious. | 05:43 |
| mook_ | i only needed 15 process to run windows!!! | 05:43 |
| maco | mook_: good for you | 05:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Out_Cold: bad answer >.< | 05:43 |
| UbuntuJeff | Adman65, try this link, its for the beta but should work still for what you want. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1 | 05:44 |
| Out_Cold | PsynoKhi0, can't change the unwilling | 05:44 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: eh? i dont tend to see lots of "dont upgrade!" rather "zomg the new stuff is so cool!! UPGRADE!" | 05:44 |
| UbuntuJeff | Adman65, has a section called "Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 LTS" | 05:44 |
| Loshki | mook_: I was interested that you mentioned modding above. I would say that modding takes on a whole new dimension when you have the source code for everything... | 05:44 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Out_Cold: you can always direct them to other distros with separate root user and let them trash their system to heir heart's content :P | 05:44 |
| YankDownUnder | maco, Well, then after 32 years, I must be wrong, and must be researching in the wrong areas/places/groups/sites. Thanks for the insite! | 05:44 |

| maco | YankDownUnder: 32 years? ubuntu's only been around for 5... | 05:45 |
| goddard | Is it possible to put a link up so people can download one of my Ubuntu One files? | 05:45 |
| mook_ | this is like the govement telling me it would be unsafe for me to have a gun... that they would protect me............... | 05:45 |

| abadabad00 | kepplo - so Audacity worked and it is isung ASLA. Ubuntu doesn't and apparently it is using PULSE. How do I get Ubuntu to use ASLA instead of Pulse? | 05:45 |
| IdleOne | sorry mood7, tab fail | 05:45 |
| Out_Cold | PsynoKhi0, i thought that was the point of windows... linux is not for the closed minded | 05:45 |
| maco | mook_: if you dont like the way ubuntu works, then *dont use it* | 05:45 |
| bazhang | mook_, stay on topic please | 05:45 |
| FeasibilityStudy | PsynoKhi0: You don't need a different distro for that: I use Ubuntu and I have a root user. | 05:45 |
| doleyb_ | abadabad00: you can simply apt-get remove pulseaudio | 05:45 |
| maco | mook_: nobody is forcing you to switch to ubuntu | 05:45 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Yank: I think some of the problems might be that people interpreted 10.04's status as an LTS to mean it is completely and utterly stable, perfect, etc... | 05:45 |
| AbuMaia1 | methinks mook is trolling | 05:45 |
| YankDownUnder | maco, Linux => Since 1992. MS Windows => Since 1992 => OS/2 => Since 1988 => UNIX => since ferever | 05:45 |
| abadabad00 | you guys are all being really hard on mook | 05:45 |
| Flannel | mook_: Please calm down and stay ontopic. If you'd like Ubuntu support, we can help, but you'll need to remain polite and rational. | 05:45 |
| PsynoKhi0 | FeasibilityStudy: shhhhhh!! | 05:46 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ;) | 05:46 |
| jud1 | i don't suppose anyone can help me? I got a bit out of my depth and messed my operating system up a bit | 05:46 |
| AbuMaia1 | what's the issue jud1? | 05:46 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: ok but whats that have to do with whether people tend to say you should or shouldnt try the latest ubuntu release? | 05:46 |
| karma_police | i want to install ubuntu to a flash drive so i can use it on multiple host pc's. what is the best way? i have been using live usb but it takes long to boot and shut down | 05:46 |
| aaaoooaaa | hi guys, im running virtualbox on karmic and am having issues getting winxp on VB to find any connected devices besides my mouse; can someone help me? | 05:46 |
| LucidFox | I try to boot the Lucid desktop CD, and it says: | 05:46 |
| PsynoKhi0 | btw I was wondering if the old partition alignment applied even in dual-boot with other previously installed linux distros | 05:46 |
| goddard | Is it possible to put a link up so people can download one of my Ubuntu One files? | 05:47 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: i will agree that some people say to wait a month or two after release so the remaining kinks get worked out | 05:47 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: but "dont upgrade EVAR"... not so much | 05:47 |
| YankDownUnder | maco, "Using" "Installing" and "Upgrading" are three different things, my friend...upgrading from versions ain't always a nice happy clean way to go... | 05:47 |
| Flannel | mook_: sudo exists to protect users from a variety of things, including malicious things but not solely for that purpose. It also protects you from accidentally screwing up your system, and a variety of other things. | 05:47 |
| LucidFox | BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1062] | 05:47 |
| vexati0n | karma_police, that's the best way i've found. you might get a real install to work but it won't load all the drivers for different computers (which is what takes the live usb so long to boot) | 05:47 |
| IdleOne | goddard: not in here | 05:47 |
| goddard | ? | 05:47 |
| Semitones | goddard, I think you're talking about public links | 05:47 |
| AbuMaia1 | I actually enjoy the hunting and problem solving it takes to get a new system up and running ^_^ | 05:47 |
| FeasibilityStudy | PsynoKhi0: What is your question? The way you worded it makes no sense. | 05:47 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: wait are you making a distinction between upgrading via reinstall versus upgrading over the network? | 05:47 |
| goddard | Semitones yep | 05:47 |
| Semitones | goddard, I don't know the details of ubuntuone, but I think it's possible -- just look for how to find the public url | 05:48 |
| karma_police | thats what i thought.. i like the versatility of having multiple computer access.. that and i can show linux off to windoze users when i fix there crap | 05:48 |

| CogitoErgoSam | mook_: the sudo setup also helps log actions taken with the higher level of authorization to help you audit and/or fix changes made through sudo | 05:48 |
| maco | goddard: yes you can make things public/shareable. might require using the web interface | 05:48 |
| MrKeuner | intel wifi 5300 keeps getting disconnected, anybody has a solution for that? Lucid... | 05:48 |
| Out_Cold | CogitoErgoSam, how is that? | 05:48 |
| goddard | maco cool good to know | 05:48 |
| YankDownUnder | maco, Here, in my biz and my lab, upgrading is NOT an option. Backing up data, blowing out the entire workstation (even the /home dir) is the best way. Path of least resistance. Least trouble, least work, least support. Hot donuts! | 05:48 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Its been a while since I needed to check, but don't commands run with sudo get logged? | 05:49 |
| IdleOne | goddard: sorry I misunderstood your question | 05:49 |
| karma_police | is there a way to get it to save your settings and log in with a user other than root when you boot it? | 05:49 |
| === AbuMaia1 is now known as AbuMaia | ||
| PsynoKhi0 | FeasibilityStudy: oh? hmm ok so the release notes state that "By default, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS aligns partitions on disk to 1 MiB (1048576 bytes) boundaries." | 05:49 |
| mook_ | i already had t reinstall my entire system 10 min again becuse the grapics driver failed and everything went down hill, i don't think i need t worry about a crack or sudo screwing up my system | 05:49 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; Does this shell return mean I'm running the Final release version ??? http://imagebin.org/95507 | 05:49 |
| bazhang | mook_, on a server? | 05:49 |
| mook_ | desktop | 05:49 |
| AbuMaia | jud1: are you still there? what's your issue? | 05:49 |
| LucidFox | Or alternatively. How do I show the Lucid boot menu? | 05:49 |
| maco | YankDownUnder: oh sure, blowing everything away is the most foolproof, but its far from the most convenient if you dont want to spend 3 hours reconfiguring everything and cherry-picking bits of your .kde/ to get all your mail back | 05:49 |
| onetinsoldier | mxe5: yes | 05:49 |
| LucidFox | from the live CD | 05:49 |
| FeasibilityStudy | PsynoKhi0: Yes there were a lot of controversy about that. Ubuntu changed the way KB and MB are counted. | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | mook_, in modding your system did u ever crash it? also you have to worry about viruses on windows. here you dont. also, dont u get bored of looking at windows | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | or thru | 05:50 |
| mclark1129 | I am having trouble with WPA2 Personal encryption on my router authenticating me. What does it mean when it says wpa_supplicant[822]: Association request to the driver failed in the syslog? | 05:50 |
| goddard | IdleOne its all good | 05:50 |
| mclark1129 | I am using the right password, and sometimes it works just fine, other times it times out and gives this message. | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | mclark1129, did u install wpa_supplicant yourself or what | 05:50 |
| maco | pvl1: there are linux viruses (though not in the wild for current systems) but the more common issue on linux systems is targetted attacks... where passwords are a *good* thing | 05:50 |
| pvl1 | mclark1129, oh what about your driver then | 05:50 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; Cool - Thought so - just wasn't sure - Thanks | 05:50 |
| mclark1129 | no, it came stock on my 9.10 setup then | 05:50 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: ubuntu didnt change it. the IEEE did | 05:51 |
| PsynoKhi0 | FeasibilityStudy: oh actually I'm wondering about the implications of the new partition alignment | 05:51 |
| onetinsoldier | mxe5: sure. your welcome | 05:51 |
| mclark1129 | I'm using the hybrid_wl driver for BCM4312 | 05:51 |
| YankDownUnder | maco, Kmail/Kontact is backed up...(or was)...always a good thing! (but renamed it, and re-imported to save from any KDE related strangeness - as there is ALWAYS strangeness with KDE applications) | 05:51 |
| pvl1 | maco, well sure u can rip a system with SUDO rm -r /* | 05:51 |
| mclark1129 | I installed that myself | 05:51 |
| maco | FeasibilityStudy: ubuntu just started following the established standard terminology | 05:51 |

| mook_ | i never got virus on windows, never will, i have crashed every linux system out well over 50 times in the last 5 years, most of the crashes was from the system screwing up | 05:51 |
| PsynoKhi0 | FeasibilityStudy: I way past the MB vs MiB thing | 05:51 |
| pvl1 | maco, but making it run via an email? | 05:51 |
| maco | pvl1: sure, email someone a .desktop file and tell them it's an e-card | 05:52 |
| amabo | does anyone know how to get the Last.fm official application to scrobble a connected ipod? it asks "where is your ipod mounted" and i don't know where to direct it :-\ | 05:52 |

| karma_police | i love 10.04. very snappy... i'm using linux mint menu tho >:) | 05:52 |

| IdleOne | errr | 05:52 |

| goddard | Whats the project website for deb? | 05:52 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Just double checked, and yes, sudo actions are logged in /var/log/auth.log | 05:52 |
| maco | amabo: type "mount" in a terminal and itll tell you. should be /media/IPOD or something like that | 05:52 |
| bazhang | pvl1, keep it civil and on topic | 05:52 |
| FeasibilityStudy | mook_ GTFO | 05:52 |
| CogitoErgoSam | so commands you run at the higher level of rights can be checked to try and undo anything terrible | 05:52 |
| pvl1 | maco, my friend did that exact thing and manage to rewrite every filename to "penis" on another friend | 05:52 |

| sithwalrus | Hi | 05:53 |
| _pg_ | Is there a room for ppc? | 05:53 |
| maco | mook_: if you'd read the wiki page i pointed you to, you'd know this | 05:54 |
| amabo | maco: no but i found some software for it - going to try that | 05:54 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Its been said several times but root is not removed, it is simply disabled by default for a number of well-described reasons | 05:54 |
| YankDownUnder | phillipsjk, Heheheheheh...good one mate.... | 05:54 |
| CogitoErgoSam | But you can reenable it in seconds if you really want | 05:54 |
| maco | amabo: is the ipod plugged in? it should show up on your desktop when its mounted... | 05:54 |

| CogitoErgoSam | Anyone else that can help linuxgecko with post-grub video driver issues? | 05:57 |
| pvl1 | _pg_, aw that blows. get a smaller ubuntu disc and just install w.e else u need. im guessing xubuntu is xfce? | 05:57 |
| maco | gerzel: you need to give it user & group i think. sudo chown user:group filename | 05:57 |
| abadabad00 | any way to get my colume icon back in the taskbar? (presumably i am no using 'ALSA' | 05:57 |
| UbuntuJeff | abadabad00, curiousity, what were you having troubles with sound working in? with pulseaudio I mean. | 05:57 |
| maco | abadabad00: the volume icon is a pulseaudio thing. youre going to have to use "alsamixer" in the terminal to make adjustments | 05:58 |
| abadabad00 | omfg | 05:58 |
| maco | abadabad00: wait your issue was just audacity, right? | 05:58 |
| karma_police | whats the easiest way to backup a list of what all you have installed to make it easier for next install? | 05:58 |
| maco | abadabad00: just use pa-suspender with audacity | 05:58 |
| abadabad00 | sorry about that om.... | 05:58 |
| krelboyne | gerzel: is root the owner of the file? | 05:58 |
| _pg_ | pvl1: Yeah. But the g3 won't boot to any disc I burn. | 05:58 |
| IdleOne | !clone > karma_police | 05:58 |
| ubottu | karma_police, please see my private message | 05:58 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; Thanks again - trying to see if my granddaughter older lappy will run Lucid - should be fine - wasn't sure what version of Ubuntu I had installed on there before. | 05:58 |
| abadabad00 | my issue was sound working in all of ubuntu. it seemed to work only in Audacity (ALSA). This prompted me to uninstall pulse audio | 05:59 |
| pvl1 | _pg_, y not, and im guessing uve checked bios? or does it not have that either | 05:59 |
| CogitoErgoSam | karma_police: If you just want a list of all the packages, you can also do dpkg -l and pipe it to a text file or somethin' | 05:59 |
| CytotoxicTCell | how often are updates released? | 05:59 |
| onetinsoldier | mxe5: ah, roger. good luck! | 05:59 |
| gerzel | Yes root is the owner | 05:59 |
| maco | abadabad00: is it that it didnt work in anything else while audacity was running? | 05:59 |
| _pg_ | So I tried target disk mode but my intel macs won't boot to the ppc disks. And no bios haha | 05:59 |
| abadabad00 | maco: yes.. | 05:59 |
| gerzel | tried giving it the group no dice. | 05:59 |
| abadabad00 | oh no | 05:59 |
| abadabad00 | sorry | 05:59 |
| abadabad00 | .... | 05:59 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ok I'll try again with a concrete example: I currently run karmic/arch linux as dual boot on an oldish laptop, ubuntu manages grub, both share a partition for home, different users... I'm planning to upgrade to Lucid, do I need to pass the partman/alignment=cylinder parameter at the start of the ubuntu installation? | 06:00 |
| karma_police | ty.. thats what i was lookin for | 06:00 |
| dabaR | maco: you're saying that the volume icon in the panel is a pulseaudio thing, and if one uses alsa they can't have it/use it? | 06:00 |
| maco | dabaR: right | 06:00 |
| gerzel | tried giving it the group no dice. | 06:00 |
| abadabad00 | look... it didn't work in anything at all. but it did work in audacity. (nothing to do with simultinaety) | 06:00 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; Thanks - she is a progressive 17yr old that thanks to her Papa loves Linux :o) | 06:00 |
| dabaR | maco: and do you happen to know how I can tell which I am using? | 06:00 |
| gerzel | The original owner is root and I need to change the ownership to my user. | 06:00 |
| maco | dabaR: ps -ef | grep pulse | 06:00 |
| abadabad00 | so it 'happened | 06:00 |
| abadabad00 | 'happened' to work in audacity | 06:01 |

| pvl1 | _pg_, all i found | 06:01 |
| dabaR | maco: I thought all you have to do is have indicator-sound installed, and a notification area in your panel | 06:01 |
| maco | abadabad00: please file a bug about your issue. "ubuntu-bug pulseaudio" and in the meantime i suggest either using alsamixer or... installing kmix (kde's mixer applet) should work too | 06:01 |
| _pg_ | pvl1: Qlready read thatbwhole rhing lol | 06:02 |
| maco | dabaR: that applet talks to pulse though. no pulse, no applet | 06:02 |

| CogitoErgoSam | mook_: Yes, we'll never have that...unless we take 15 seconds to enable it. | 06:02 |
| maco | dabaR: it just goes "oh look i have nothing to talk to *disappear*" because gnome has decided that pulseaudio is their preferred sound server (replacing esound) | 06:02 |
| pvl1 | _pg_, yeah then im at a loss. post in the forum then | 06:03 |
| dabaR | well that's been for a while, rgght? | 06:03 |
| gerzel | get it? | 06:03 |
| onetinsoldier | mxe5: nvm.. i thought you were talking about a computer. my bad | 06:03 |
| maco | mook_: you can go on thinking that's what software freedom's about, but it's not. it's about the freedom to read and modify and share *source code* | 06:03 |
| CogitoErgoSam | mook_: And I'm not going anywhere near the irony of you referring to windows as being more "free" than *nix | 06:03 |

| Geoffrey2 | ok, I'm looking at .xsession-errors, and it appears gnome is trying to open a bunch of programs that simple don't exist anymore, like...Unable to open desktop file /usr/share/applications/firefox-3.5.desktop for panel launcher: No such file or directory | 06:07 |
| FeasibilityStudy | mook_ OFTG | 06:07 |
| CogitoErgoSam | mook made up his mind to be dissatisfied no matter what anyone said | 06:07 |
| orlok | CogitoErgoSam: it stays in the image, just wondering if its a common probllem | 06:07 |
| Geoffrey2 | obviously, that's because 10.04 doesn't install the 3.5 version of Firefox..... | 06:07 |
| futsuriai | Hello, is there some way to install a clean 10.04 from within an instance of 9.04 w/o access to external peripherals? | 06:07 |
| CogitoErgoSam | orlok: I've never run into it, but my point in asking was to determine if it was a software (follows image) or hardware (stays still) issue | 06:08 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; The laptop if I remember is a Dell Latitude D600 w/2gb's ram or so. | 06:08 |
| onetinsoldier | mxe5: roger. i've always built my own | 06:08 |
| orlok | CogitoErgoSam: oh - def. hardware | 06:08 |
| mxe5 | onetinsoldier; It's older but should be fine. | 06:08 |
| CogitoErgoSam | if it stayed still I'd say it was a problem with the monitor, like stuck pixels | 06:08 |
| jeeez | i installed xp and did 'grub-install' again to get grub back. now it doesn't show the menu, directly boots into ubuntu, how do i fix this? | 06:08 |

| PsynoKhi0 | I think | 06:15 |
| dabaR | I mean, pick a distro, install it, and take it from there. | 06:15 |
| YankDownUnder | wers, The command SHOULD be: ./AdobeAir.bin (and you have to make sure you're doing it as root, and that it's been chmod +x *.bin) | 06:16 |
| aaaoooaaa | YankDownUnder: where down under are yuou? | 06:16 |

| Geoffrey2 | ok, what exactly is the .xsession-errors file? | 06:18 |
| PsynoKhi0 | crucialhoax: might be a HAL (or lack of) related issue | 06:18 |

| linuxgecko | even if i have to force a vesa driver | 06:19 |
| crucialhoax | PsynoKhi0: Is there a workaround or a fix? When I plug it in, the usb light dies then the laptop just freezes lol, its quite weird. | 06:19 |

| dabaR | steven__: you tell us | 06:20 |
| nocturnus | PsynoKhi0: is the partition type in fdisk w95 fat32? | 06:20 |
| ZykoticK9 | AbuMaia, just use the whole path to the script | 06:20 |
| CogitoErgoSam | To support what yank's saying, the fact is that different distros come "out of the box" suited for different tasks, and while certainly you can customize any of them to fit your needs, if someone was looking to learn to do sysadmin / hosting stuff, there are specific distros that are more commonly used | 06:20 |
| nocturnus | 01:15:12 < PsynoKhi0> mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdx | 06:20 |

| AbuMaia | ZykoticK9: without the ./ ? | 06:21 |
| dabaR | CogitoErgoSam: and Ubuntu is poorly suited to being a server? | 06:21 |
| crucialhoax | PsynoKhi0: Nope, everything is dead. I even tried killing X with Ctrl+alt+Bkspc absolutely nothing works but the power button. | 06:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | nocturnus: yes but for some reason I've never gotten it to work from fdisk :P | 06:21 |
| YankDownUnder | dabaR, If someone is studying history, you can't tell them to only study US history...study EVERYONE'S history. Either which, I'm not a zealot in any sense of the word. As long as they're using linux, that's all that matters. | 06:21 |
| ZykoticK9 | AbuMaia, ./ means from this directory just use /home/USERNAME/REST_OF_PATH -options | 06:21 |
| nocturnus | PsynoKhi0: what do you mean? | 06:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | AbuMaia, try running it with full path from a terminal first | 06:22 |
| CogitoErgoSam | dabaR: I didn't say that at all. I admit in the spirit of full disclosure that I don't do much sysadmin stuff, but my point is that there are legitimate reasons to recommend someone interested in learning to sysadmin look at several distros, not just ubuntu exclusively | 06:22 |

| * dabaR wonders now whether he should do the same since he uses Ubuntu at work for servers. Maybe there is some purpose in trying out some other distro. | 06:23 | |

| crucialhoax | PsynoKhi0: Thats fine, anything will help, I am at a loss. I do not understand how inserting a usb drive causes the system entirely to die, usually at the worst times :( | 06:25 |
| wers | ZykoticK9, thanks a lot! | 06:25 |
| linuxgec1o | dabaR: yes, you are. i've learned the hard way that while it's good for many thing, ubuntu us not the best for EVERYTHING. | 06:26 |
| DanaG | interesting thing: http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/Screenshot-netbook.png | 06:26 |
| chmac | sean12837: I'm not sure if you can force that within the PHP script itself, but you could probably bind apache to one IP | 06:26 |
| DanaG | any of you read Mark Shuttleworth's thing about the new notifications? | 06:26 |
| Yokanzo | Can anyone tell me if Ubuntu supports booting from PCI SATA controller cards on older motherboards? | 06:26 |
| DanaG | My screenshot shows why it's STILL better to have the buttons on the right. =þ | 06:26 |
| chmac | sean12837: Maybe more relevant to ##php or #apache though | 06:26 |
| YankDownUnder | Yokanzo, Should do fine mate | 06:26 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: Depends on the motherboard BIOS and the add-in card's ROM, partly. | 06:27 |
| YankDownUnder | Changing the buttons ain't a hard thing to accomplish...just a gconf hack... | 06:27 |
| dabaR | linuxgec1o: whatever works is the best for anything, for sure, anyway, thanks for your input. | 06:27 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, what is the .xsession-errors file? | 06:27 |
| Yokanzo | I got an A8V Deluxe which means that it came out when SATA was still new | 06:27 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, Um...it contains the errors that X spits forth when not playing nicely... | 06:27 |
| DanaG | And even if the motherboard doesn't natively support it, you could put a small boot partition on a main drive, and then the rest somewhere else. | 06:27 |
| Yokanzo | It has a SATA controller attached to the bios but only supports SATA1 while my drives are SATA 2 | 06:28 |
| Yokanzo | i wanted to make a file server | 06:28 |
| roger_ | Yokanzo: I used to have one. It worked great back in the day with other ubuntu distros pre-dating 9.04 | 06:28 |
| YankDownUnder | The real difference between a workstation and a file server: The file server doesn't have your pr0n on it. | 06:28 |
| Yokanzo | oh great, so the general consensus is that its possible to boot from a SATA controller? | 06:28 |
| YankDownUnder | :) | 06:28 |
| PsynoKhi0 | nocturnus: my bad, yes, partition type W95 in fdisk, choice code "b" | 06:28 |
| roger_ | lol at yank | 06:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Yank: Depends how much pr0n you're talking about :D | 06:28 |
| Yokanzo | Thanks guys, very much appreciated. | 06:29 |
| roger_ | and Yokanzo: I would say yes, That being my experience. But again, not every system is alike. | 06:29 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | 06:29 |
| ubottu | Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. | 06:29 |
| YankDownUnder | CogitoErgoSam, Ok...true true true....but I was "generalising" :) | 06:29 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, mine has error messages created by it looking for stuff that doesn't exist anymore... | 06:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | I'm just playin' along | 06:29 |
| nocturnus | PsynoKhi0: right-o | 06:29 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, It's actually safe to delete that file mate...it gets recreated every time you fire up Xorg... | 06:29 |
| linuxgec1o | dabaR: yeah.. i tried installing a web app developed in debian by a narrow-minded dev. had some nasty, hard-to-maintain pinning i had to do, jsut to get it to START working. when you have to go off-road like that, i hate some things about ubuntu. my other distro is better at "off the normal path" stuff like that. | 06:29 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, which file? | 06:30 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, the .xsession-errors | 06:30 |
| Yokanzo | What kinda transfer rates can you expect with a SATA card anyway? | 06:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, yeah, but that won't solve the errors I keep getting | 06:30 |
| CogitoErgoSam | no, it won't. Not all errors are critical though | 06:30 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, gconf-sanity-check has a cow every time I boot up | 06:30 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: what matters more is that the add-in card has an "option ROM". | 06:31 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, What you can do (the purpose of this file) is to chase down the programs you DON'T have any longer, and remove them from your desktop environment, or any other related place...(or in settings, etc etc etc) | 06:31 |
| Yokanzo | What's an option ROM? | 06:31 |
| DanaG | for example, with a silicon image sata controller, some boards have a jumper to enable or disable it. | 06:31 |
| linuxgec1o | ZykoticK9: what will removing quiet and slapsh from the boot do for me, to get a non-blank gui? | 06:31 |
| DanaG | With it enabled, and with the motherboard set to allow "scsi" (and other such terms) boot, it's usable. | 06:32 |
| linuxgec1o | ZykoticK9: just unhide all the guts? | 06:32 |
| CogitoErgoSam | linuxgec1o: Its no guarantee but, like the i915 attempt, if you do it via the grub menu it can't hurt | 06:32 |
| DanaG | When a motherboard boots, it pokes all its add-in cards to see if they offer a boot ability. | 06:32 |
| ZykoticK9 | linuxgec1o, it might not do anything - but you might see an error message, or if plymouth splash is the problem will remove it. Yes unhide all the guts. | 06:32 |
| Yokanzo | Even older mobos Dana? | 06:32 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, I'd simply like to get rid of the nice box that pops up and tells me gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with a status 256 | 06:32 |
| chmac | Anyone know if keyservers operate on a port other than 80/443? | 06:32 |
| roger_ | haha | 06:32 |
| Yokanzo | My A8V came out around 2005 | 06:33 |
| abadabad00 | hi. i reinstalled pulse audio and my sound finally works. I lost my volume indicator in the taskbar though. I've searched ixquick and google, but no answers. Anyone know how to get the volume icon in the task bar? | 06:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | abadabad00, if lucid - right click, add to panel, indicator applet | 06:34 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, Have you tried removing gconf-sanity-check from the startup applications? | 06:34 |
| nomad77 | abadabad00: try gnome-panel --restart if ZykoticK9 's tip fails | 06:34 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: yeah, old motherboards can likely do it, too. | 06:34 |
| PsynoKhi0 | crucialhoax: * | 06:35 |
| abadabad00 | ZykoticK9 - yes, I am in Lucid. Indicator applet unfortunately only adds the envelope (for email) | 06:35 |
| DanaG | Next time you reboot the thing, if you already have the add-in card, try poking around in the BIOS settings. | 06:35 |
| PsynoKhi0 | crucialhoax: darn sorry, bad paste, hang on | 06:35 |
| DanaG | Though, something to note: PCI-based SATA controllers are a pain. | 06:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | abadabad00, if you see the mail icon, but no volume - i'm sorry i don't know. good luck. | 06:35 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, it's not needed? | 06:35 |
| DanaG | The PCI bus is a bottleneck... heavy disk activity bogs down absolutely everything else.... even things not touching the hard drive. | 06:36 |
| PsynoKhi0 | crucialhoax: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#USB_sticks_and_drives_do_not_automount_correctly this is what I experienced in Arch, might be useful to you | 06:36 |
| abadabad00 | nomad77 - "Unknown option --restart" | 06:36 |
| Yokanzo | Crap | 06:36 |
| term_oldcomp1 | ? got buntu 10.04 setup on this old athlonxp2800+ with 256Mb RAM. if I upgrade RAM to 512 will it auto detect new amount? | 06:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: It might be possible through gconf-editor...I'm digging around the Panel settings to see if I can find something corresponding to the volume | 06:37 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: what's the onboard chipset? With ordinary hard drives, you may be better off sticking with onboard SATA. | 06:37 |
| roger_ | term_oldcomp1 yes it will | 06:37 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - thanks! | 06:37 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, Well, depends on yer perspective. Does everything work already without it spitting forth a cow every time you boot? | 06:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | nomad77, abadabad00 to restart gnome-panel, just kill it and it should auto restart with "killall gnome-panel" | 06:37 |
| Yokanzo | I have two onboard chipsets | 06:37 |
| crucialhoax | PsynoKhi0: Thanks :) | 06:37 |
| Yokanzo | a Promise SaTA 378 TX2 | 06:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | term_oldcomp1: most probably yes, unless maybe the sticks are bad | 06:37 |
| PsynoKhi0 | crucialhoax: np! | 06:37 |
| mello | do you speak spanish? | 06:38 |
| Neff | hello i installed the ISO on a SD card for my netbook and it stops at the initramfs prompt with mount usage | 06:38 |
| malu | hi | 06:38 |
| mello | hi | 06:38 |
| ZykoticK9 | !es | mello | 06:38 |
| ubottu | mello: 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. | 06:38 |
| DanaG | hmm, if "Promise" is real SATA raid, that may still be worthwhile. | 06:38 |
| Yokanzo | and a VIA VT8237 Southbridge | 06:38 |
| Yokanzo | These controllers are a part of the motherboard | 06:38 |
| Yokanzo | now the VIA has been giving me shit ever since I had this machine | 06:38 |
| itsfaith | I have an AMD K3 3D processor, this laptop has 28mb ram. Is there a version of Ubuntu that'll work on it? | 06:38 |
| mello | !uk mello | 06:39 |
| DanaG | yeah, VIA is a pain. | 06:39 |
| abadabad00 | ZykoticK9 - the taskbar momentarily disappeared and came back, but no volume | 06:39 |
| malu | I want to know Tamil to english transliteration tool? | 06:39 |
| Yokanzo | It wont detect either of my harddrives because they are SATA2 | 06:39 |
| Yokanzo | even if I set a jumper to limit it to 150 mb/s | 06:39 |
| DanaG | Hmm, check the drive for a jumper to set them to SATA1 mode. | 06:39 |
| term_oldcomp1 | ? another q, this old comp has a raptor 74Gb.. doesn't seem to be running full speed. any way to confirm it's set right switch wise? | 06:39 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: 28MB? is it a typo? :) | 06:39 |
| grung0r | SInce upgrading to 10.4,there is something funky about my graphics driver settings. I can't get above 1152x864, and it resets to 640x480 upon every restart. furthermore, the window widgets are missing in gnome until I enable the extra effects, which I also have to do upon every restart. any suggestions? | 06:39 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: I'm also looking around and there might be a way through the user settings as well, located at /home/<username>/.gconf/apps/panel | 06:39 |
| itsfaith | No, rofl | 06:39 |
| Yokanzo | Yeah I tried using a jumper the VIA will have none of it | 06:39 |
| roger_ | rofl | 06:39 |
| roger_ | wow dude | 06:39 |
| itsfaith | 3gb harddrive | 06:39 |
| DanaG | bleh. stupid Via. | 06:40 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: If I find a key for the volume app specifically I'll let ya know | 06:40 |
| itsfaith | Heck, I just want any linux on it | 06:40 |
| DanaG | Promise sounds.... uh... pun. never mind. =-þ | 06:40 |
| Neff | has anyone successfulling installed the netbook ubuntu with an SD or flash drive? | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | The promise would've been fine and that is how i'm able to talk to you | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | but i'm trying to dual boot with windows 7 | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | 64 bit | 06:40 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - Okay | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | and theres no such thing as promise drivers for 64bit in IDE mode | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | i'd have to cheat and make a raid with 1 drive | 06:40 |
| Yokanzo | but that means losing valuable data on these drives | 06:40 |
| term_oldcomp1 | hey itsfaith... try out Puppy Linux for that comp. it's a dream for older systems | 06:40 |
| DanaG | hmm, no option to put it in RAID mode yet not configure RAID? | 06:40 |
| itsfaith | It's not my main computer or anything just a play around old one | 06:40 |
| crucialhoax | PsynoKhi0: I might have found something... | 06:40 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: hmm not sure you'll be able to use anything that the net install, and don't count on having a GUI :P | 06:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: anything else than* | 06:41 |
| itsfaith | dang, but windows 98 runs on it | 06:41 |
| Yokanzo | Like the promise controller was intended for a 2 disk raid but i set it to IDE mode which is basically JBOD | 06:41 |
| ZykoticK9 | abadabad00, do you have indicator-sound installed? to verify in terminal "apt-cache policy indicator-sound" | 06:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: and win98 is 12 years old ^^ BUT!! | 06:41 |
| Yokanzo | the bios allows me to do this | 06:41 |
| Yokanzo | the VIA on the otherhand is totally fussy | 06:41 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: check out DeLi Linux | 06:41 |
| Yokanzo | Thats why i have two options | 06:41 |
| itsfaith | i heard of this mintlinux thing, is that good? | 06:42 |
| itsfaith | Ok | 06:42 |
| Yokanzo | either somehow beg for a refund on my Win7 ultimate edition 64bit and get 32 bit instead once again underusing the 64bit capabilities of my CPU | 06:42 |
| amabo | i installed the radel-egtk theme and i'd like to remove it and try reinstalling it - how might i do that? | 06:42 |
| term_oldcomp1 | Linux Mint using more resources than normal ubuntu | 06:42 |
| Yokanzo | or get a controller | 06:42 |
| nomad77 | itsfaith: maybe tinycore on that | 06:42 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: mintlinx is based on ubuntu... ubuntu no-go = mint no-go | 06:42 |
| itsfaith | ok | 06:43 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: what actual motherboard is it? | 06:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | itsfaith: DeLi Linux is aimed at computer with 20.30MB RAM | 06:43 |
| Yokanzo | Asus A8V Delux | 06:43 |
| PsynoKhi0 | computers* | 06:43 |
| itsfaith | oh cool | 06:43 |
| Yokanzo | Asus A8V Deluxe* | 06:43 |
| Gadena | Why mint? Is it better? | 06:43 |
| abadabad00 | ZykoticK9 - Installed "none" | 06:43 |
| itsfaith | i just heard http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100304122412AAzXd6V | 06:44 |
| itsfaith | er saw it suggested there | 06:44 |
| suji | Let me know any web conferencing tool for ubuntu? | 06:44 |
| ZykoticK9 | abadabad00, "sudo apt-get install indicator-sound" then :) | 06:44 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: I'm afk a few minutes but then I'll keep look around for ya, if you find an answer in the meantime send me a PM so I can know how to do it too :D | 06:44 |
| prayii | itsfaith: take all yahoo answers with a grain of salt | 06:44 |
| itsfaith | for sure, thats why i came in here | 06:44 |
| roger_ | Prayii: I totally agree. | 06:44 |
| Yokanzo | If Promise tech actually made 64bit drivers instead of acting like a bunch of jerks I'd have no problems | 06:45 |
| roger_ | Most are stupids copy+paste | 06:45 |
| term_oldcomp1 | ? is there a way to edit grub menu from windows x64 ? | 06:45 |
| PsynoKhi0 | Gadena: depends, Mint ships with all the proprietary codecs pre-installed, has a different theme, and a few extra tools... | 06:45 |
| DanaG | Yokanzo: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/vistawu/thread/3b5e83b6-fe37-48a4-8f8f-77d911879ad7 | 06:45 |

| NeoCicak | hi all... quick question.. is the amd64 version of ubuntu ISO going to work for intel 64 bits processor ? (i have a core 2 duo laptop) | 06:51 |
| NeoCicak | or is the amd64 ISO only going to work with AMD processors? | 06:52 |
| Geoffrey2 | interesting...I'm in the .gnome2 folder in my home directory, and see no session file....assuming it's been moved or renamed? | 06:52 |
| UbuntuJeff | NeoCicak, it will work on your core 2 duo | 06:52 |
| Gnea | NeoCicak: no it works with anything 64-bit - intel and amds | 06:52 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Neo: It works fine with my intel Q6600 | 06:52 |
| Gnea | NeoCicak: but not itaniums | 06:52 |
| PsynoKhi0 | NeoCicak: works with intel 64bits (not itanuim) | 06:53 |
| NeoCicak | Gnea: thx... the word 'amd' is misleading then :P | 06:53 |

| doleyb_ | NeoCicak: well amd came out with it first, so intel is like the copycat there.. | 06:53 |
| PsynoKhi0 | NeoCicak: so is i386 then ;) | 06:53 |

| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: Got it! sudo apt-get install indicator-sound | 06:59 |
| abadabad00 | Streetboys: Depends on what you are planning to use your computer for. For example, I dualboot between Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.04. I use Ubuntu because I don't like constantly being attacked while on the internet (exploits, trojans, viruses, etc.). I also use specific programs in Ubuntu that don't run in Windows. On the flip-side, I use Windows because there are several programs in there that only run in windows (my EPROM progra | 06:59 |
| abadabad00 | mmer for example), and I even have hardware that only runs in windows (my scanner). | 06:59 |

| _Zappy__ | What's the point in having a seperate storage partition if in the Software Center you can't say where to install new software to ? | 07:03 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, how do I fix my boot screen ? | 07:03 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - I run paconfig from the commandline but it just opens up a GUI. No way to tell what it is doing behind the scenes... | 07:03 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, is there utility there for fixing that ? | 07:03 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, If you want, you can remove plymouth (and it's themes) and install usplash and startupmangler all in one go. | 07:03 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: try running it from the command line with the parameter --help | 07:03 |
| MikaelEriksson | Hiya folks. Here's my problem. I upgraded the other day from KK to LL. Did it straight from the software update center. Everything went kinda fine, until I got a question about GRUB and which partition it should be installed to. My mouse finger slipped, and I pressed Next, without selecting a partition. Got a message which told me I did bad, but the Back-button didn't work :( The system... | 07:04 |
| MikaelEriksson | ...continued to install just fine, but when i rebooted it hung. I get the startup screen with some funky red dots, but it freezes there. What should I do now? Don't really want to install everything from scratch... | 07:04 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, apt-get remove plymouth && apt-get install usplash startupmanager | 07:04 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - Good call! Unfortunately it still just opened up the GUI | 07:04 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: did you you do a web upgrade? | 07:05 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, I would like to keep plymouth, but I need to fix the boot image, where the image is distorted ? and the color depth seems to be very low like 8bit, | 07:05 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: Next up, see if the application has a hidden folder in your home directory for its settings | 07:05 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - lemme see what ixquick.com can turn up | 07:05 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, did you get it to work? | 07:05 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 yes | 07:05 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: ah :( | 07:05 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - k... checking home folder | 07:05 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: do you have a separate /home partition? >.< | 07:05 |
| Aimmortal | server irc.prison.net | 07:06 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: I mean, did you do a web upgrade from Karmic to Lucid? | 07:06 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Then you can just install a different plymouth-theme => and also check the settings in /etc/default/grub | 07:06 |
| YankDownUnder | I was lucid before I installed 10.04...been that way for at least 12 years... | 07:06 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 good question what do you mean with it? i have only one partition for ubuntu and the /home folder is on the same partition | 07:06 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abadabad00: Most of the time user settings and configurations get saved in a hidden folder in your home directory, and most programs check there first for settings. Following that, the usual alternative location is the application's folder in /etc/ | 07:07 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, when I try to view /etc/default/grub the file seems to be empty. How can I restore that? | 07:07 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: damn | 07:07 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, That is not an image, it's a text file that contains the settings for grub. | 07:07 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 why? | 07:07 |
| amabo | UbuntuJeff: no i didn't - every time i click the file in emerald theme manager it doesn't change a thing | 07:07 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, yes, I from view I meant there is no content | 07:07 |
| amabo | does anyone know of a fix? | 07:07 |
| urkki | Where can I find tomboy-folder, can't find it in home folder, even when hidden are shown | 07:08 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, are you running compiz atm? | 07:08 |
| amabo | visual effects? | 07:08 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: ok web upgrades in my experience aren't reliable | 07:08 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ftab have you tried reinstalling grub? | 07:08 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Hmmm...and you're running 10.04? | 07:08 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, yeah like the cube and all that | 07:08 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, yes | 07:08 |
| amabo | UbuntuJeff: believe so | 07:09 |
| ftab | CogitoErgoSam, what would that do? and is there any reason for doing that ? | 07:09 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Are you "root" when you view this file? | 07:09 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 i believe you. did you read my problem in the thread? | 07:09 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, yes | 07:09 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, hit ctrl alt R I think, it should bring up RUN APPLICATION, type in that emerald --replace, see if that shows it then. | 07:09 |
| AbuMaia | amabo: alt F2 also | 07:09 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Strange that. It should contain heaps of stuff...like, um, it's 865 bytes long... | 07:10 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ftab: The majority of apps like grub, when installed, run setup scripts that generate default config files like /etc/default/grub. If its missing, resinstalling might trigger the creation of those files. | 07:10 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: I was wondering if you had /home on a separate partition, or at least if a clean installation of ubuntu might not imply too much work for you | 07:10 |
| amabo | UbuntuJeff: woo woo :) thanks | 07:10 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Nab a copy of /etc/default/grub from the livecd, copy it to /etc/default/ and see if that resolves the issue with image resolution... | 07:10 |
| ftab | CogitoErgoSam, how do I reinstall it? YankDownUnder would that be better ? | 07:10 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, I don't have CD ROM :( , I always upgrade from internet | 07:11 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, welcome, now if you want it to stay that way permanently, you will need to change the command that controls the window decorations in Compiz config settings manager, just to let you know. | 07:11 |
| Geoffrey2 | there are never times I feel more like drinking than when I'm trying to diagnose some problem with Ubuntu..... | 07:11 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, No...it would not be better...it's simpler to copy a single file than to sit through an entire re-installation... | 07:11 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Well, it's easy enough to grab the file from the source ftp dirs mate. | 07:11 |
| ftab | YankDownUnder, ok let me give it a try | 07:11 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ftab: Replacing the single file would be easier, definitely. But if that doesn't work, reinstalling might. | 07:11 |
| YankDownUnder | ftab, Roger that - going for a smoko and coffee... | 07:12 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ftab: Since if you're missing one file, there might be more missing too. | 07:12 |
| amabo | UbuntuJeff: what do you mean? | 07:12 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: btw can you translate the last error message about the package system? | 07:12 |
| datroubler | yes mom | 07:12 |
| PsynoKhi0 | that sounded way weird... | 07:12 |
| teratoma | im running lucid. my wireless nic rt2570 stopped working. iwas running lucid beta. what do i do ? | 07:12 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, meaning if you restart or log out and log back in right now, that will be changed at the top, the window buttons and all that, it will be what it was before. If you want it to use the emerald theme from now on I can tell you how to set it to do so if you want. | 07:12 |
| YankDownUnder | CogitoErgoSam, This is true, but he does have things relatively running...so he needs to get a fish, first, then find out if he needs a boat, crew and gear next... | 07:12 |
| phoenix_srv | Hello everyone, I got a bit of a question. Last night I upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu 10.04, and at one point, i was asked a few questions regarding installing grub. I opted to install the grub on all disks and partitions (i.e., /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, etc) - i have windows seven installed on this system, and now, whenever i attempt to boot it, grub just hangs with the little underscore in the top left of the screen. Is there a way I can rem | 07:13 |
| amabo | UbuntuJeff: that'd be great | 07:13 |
| phoenix_srv | thanks | 07:13 |
| Geoffrey2 | many, many moons ago, gnome had a file called sessions, and it listed all the applications that would be run every time it was fired up...apparently it no longer exists, as i can't find it...anyone know what I should be looking for? | 07:13 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 "the package system is damaged" "check the package sources (third party) if this is the case deactivate them and do apt-get install -f" | 07:13 |
| YankDownUnder | phoenix_srv, I use a Vista recovery disk to rebuild the boot - then it works fine. | 07:13 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 i already did it | 07:13 |
| UbuntuJeff | amabo, System => Preferences => Compiz Config Settings Manager, scroll down till you see Window Decoration, open that and you will see something that says Command: /usr/bin/compiz-decorator <== change that to emerald --replace | 07:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Geoffrey2, it's gone. I don't know of a gui replacement currently. | 07:14 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: ok, do this: go to System > Software sources | 07:14 |
| AbuMaia | I have a program that *only* runs if I use ./ while in its directory. It does not run if I call it in terminal with the full path. Is there any way I can add it to startup programs and have it successfully run? | 07:14 |
| phoenix_srv | YankDownUnder: in reference to your reply, thank you, but as stated above, i haven't created the recovery disk yet, and also, i am not able to boot the vista recovery partition | 07:14 |
| CogitoErgoSam | YankDownUnder: I concede the point; my perspective in recommending reinstalling is related to the number of people with lucid install probs stemming from incomplete or interrupted installations, and reinstalling a single app like grub still tends to be pretty quick, unlike a full reinstall. | 07:14 |
| YankDownUnder | CogitoErgoSam, You get the beer tonight mate! | 07:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | AbuMaia, could you share the whole path? are there spaces in it's name? | 07:15 |
| YankDownUnder | phoenix_srv, There is a d/l on the net of an ISO that's about 100mb in size - does the Vista boot recovery for ya | 07:15 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - no luck on finding the config files, but that may be because it is just using 'normal' pulseaudio bundled utilities. I dug up where I originally got the file: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=759147 Wonder why the changes in pulseaudio config isn't sticking past a restart | 07:15 |
| phoenix_srv | YankDownUnder: is that a free download (legally)? if so, that'd be a great help :) thanks | 07:15 |
| ururus | does anyone get paid doing this tech support? | 07:15 |
| ururus | or do anyone do tech support on side of irc ? | 07:16 |
| AbuMaia | ZykoticK9: no spaces. full path is /home/abumaia/BOINC/boinc --daemon Using that full path does not work, it only runs when I'm in the BOINC directory and run ./boinc --daemon | 07:16 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: do you have the Software Source window in front of you? | 07:16 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 yes | 07:16 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, so I'm chased my tail back to the starting point, basically | 07:16 |

| _Zappy__ | Hello ! | 07:18 |
| muffin2 | I think I found a solution to boot time pause on ubunt lucid when shared folders are in /etc/fstab. | 07:18 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 do you mean this: http://www.abload.de/img/udey45l.png | 07:18 |
| AbuMaia | CogitoErgoSam: nope, gives me a "no such file or directory" error >_< | 07:18 |
| phoenix_srv | MikaelEriksson: for you, i'd probably recommend just booting up from the live cd, and reinstalling grub from scratch using that | 07:18 |
| Geoffrey2 | the immediate question is, since I upgraded ubuntu to 10.04, every bootup has gconf-sanity-check exiting with a status 256...it was suggested I simply remove that from the Startup Applications, but it doesn't even show up on the list of startup applications | 07:19 |
| phoenix_srv | that should fix your problem | 07:19 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Abumaia: you could try moving the app to /usr/bin to make it accessible from anywhere | 07:19 |
| _Zappy__ | Is it possible to install software from the package manager and tell it to install on another partition then the main one where ubuntu's system lives ? | 07:19 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abumaia: You'll need to use sudo to cp it there | 07:19 |
| phoenix_srv | and YankDownUnder, i believe i found the updated version of your disk here: http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ | 07:19 |

| muffin2 | I just want to provide an impromptu circumvention | 07:19 |
| ZykoticK9 | _Zappy__, moving install locations in Linux is Non-Trivial.... ie. very hard to do. Good luck man. | 07:19 |
| maco | Gypsyfetish: if you install updates youre there | 07:20 |
| MikaelEriksson | phoenix_srv: yep, sounds clever. (re)-installing grub is obviously an option on the live cd? | 07:20 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: argh I'm using irssi in xterm, having trouble using URLs :( anyway, try this: change the default server, and reload your package list | 07:20 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abumaia: or make a symbolic link to it in /usr/bin | 07:20 |
| Gypsyfetish | ty Maco | 07:20 |
| AbuMaia | CogitoErgoSam: I'd rather not. It contains several files in the middle of being processed, and moving it out of /home renders it vulnerable if I have to do a reinstall | 07:20 |

| ZykoticK9 | _Zappy__, i install a lot of commercial gaves, so i have a huge / partition (it drives me a little crazy when all these people recommend 8GB / partitions - they wouldn't work for me) | 07:21 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, I'll check - hang tight mate | 07:21 |
| phoenix_srv | MikaelEriksson: PsynoKhi0 beet me too it :P | 07:21 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abumaia: yeah I think that ln command will work | 07:21 |
| phoenix_srv | beat* | 07:21 |
| MikaelEriksson | And thx to you, too, psynokhi0! | 07:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | phoenix_srv: too slow my little padawan! | 07:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | :D | 07:21 |
| phoenix_srv | haha, yes indeed | 07:21 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, okie | 07:21 |
| PsynoKhi0 | MikaelEriksson: så lite så | 07:22 |
| abadabad00 | CogitoErgoSam - no luck on finding the config files, but that may be because it is just using 'normal' pulseaudio bundled utilities. I dug up where I originally got the file: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=759147 Wonder why the changes in pulseaudio config isn't sticking past a restart | 07:22 |
| MikaelEriksson | psynokhi0!: Men värt så mycket! | 07:22 |
| _Zappy__ | ZykoticK9, So how can you tyell it to install and search apps in another partiton ? | 07:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | MikaelEriksson: tsh english! | 07:22 |
| PsynoKhi0 | ;) | 07:22 |
| MikaelEriksson | May the Force be with you all. Back to work now. | 07:22 |
| ZykoticK9 | _Zappy__, you can't | 07:22 |
| === excalq1 is now known as excalq-home | ||
| _Zappy__ | ZykoticK9, That's a bummer | 07:23 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: how is it going? | 07:23 |
| _Zappy__ | So it can only store data ? | 07:23 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 i get the message that i have 2 damaged packages | 07:23 |
| AbuMaia | CogitoErgoSam: nope, still no luck. trying to run boinc by itself raises a not installed error, and full /usr/bin/BOINC/boinc path has same result as before | 07:23 |
| DanaG | hmm, how usable is btrfs with ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| ZykoticK9 | _Zappy__, you could mount /usr or /opt to another parition and that would work - but again, non-trivial if you already have stuff installed. | 07:24 |
| UbuntuJeff | I have another cairo dock question if thats okay, when you have a stack on it and your scrolling over the stack it shows parts of the folders around it there names, like faded is there a way to turn that off? its making it hard for me to see what I am clicking on. | 07:24 |
| excalq-home | simple question - does an ubuntu install customise itself to the computer it's being installed on? i.e. would installing it and swapping the disk to a diff. computer matter? | 07:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | abu: the link in /usr/bin should be to the binary itself, not the folder | 07:24 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: do you get any tip as to what to do next? | 07:24 |
| _Zappy__ | Thanks ZykoticK9 ... I hoped it to be easier | 07:24 |
| DanaG | excalq-home: aside from ending up with eth0, eth1, eth2, eth10 (depending on mac address), about the only other issue is video drivers. | 07:24 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 yes i show you mom | 07:24 |
| DanaG | ATI and NV binary drivers trample on the open-source drivers for everything else. | 07:25 |
| excalq-home | DanaG: ok thanks | 07:25 |
| PsynoKhi0 | it STILL sound weird :P | 07:25 |
| PsynoKhi0 | sounds* | 07:25 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: please no URL I can't use them | 07:25 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 no url? can i send u pictures in irc? | 07:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: if you get any direction on how to solve the broken package, just do as the message says :P | 07:26 |
| PsynoKhi0 | datroubler: I supposed it involves apt-get or dpkg | 07:26 |
| datroubler | the dialog told me to look after damaged packages | 07:26 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 and id did it | 07:26 |
| AbuMaia | CogitoErgoSam: still nogo | 07:26 |
| ZykoticK9 | datroubler, if you have broken packages try "sudo apt-get -f install" | 07:26 |
| phoenix_srv | datroubler: you mean look for? | 07:27 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 the two damages packages: fglrx-amdcccle and fglrx-kernel-source | 07:27 |
| datroubler | PsynoKhi0 es look for | 07:27 |
| datroubler | y | 07:27 |

| songer | hello | 07:34 |
| songer | how can i remove firefox? | 07:35 |
| phoenix_srv | songer: in the terminal, type: sudo apt-get remove firefox | 07:35 |
| CogitoErgoSam | Songer: A number of ways, from both the command line or from gui applications. | 07:35 |
| nomad77 | songer: sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox to remove its configs | 07:35 |
| soreau | what is the option to show icons in system>administration? | 07:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | songer: those command line options will be the quickest though | 07:36 |
| ururus | CogitoErgoSam: how do we change permissions of a file the command? | 07:36 |
| ururus | i forgot long time not using linux | 07:36 |
| songer | i need to remove everiting | 07:36 |
| * YankDownUnder thinks maybe apt-get remove firefox && apt-get install microsoft-internet-exploder might work... | 07:36 | |
| phoenix_srv | ururus: chmod 755 filename | 07:36 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ururus: chmod | 07:36 |
| arand | datroubler: If you look in those directories /usr/lib/fglrx and /usr/share/ati what is in there? | 07:37 |
| ururus | oh yeah remember now | 07:37 |
| phoenix_srv | obviously substituting the values for whatever octal values you like :P | 07:37 |
| ururus | or chmod +x filename | 07:37 |
| ururus | :) | 07:37 |
| _Zappy__ | Trying to install subversion, but I get the following error: | 07:37 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ururus: The numbers use octal representation, but you can use the letters quickly too (ie x for execute, r for read, w for write) | 07:37 |
| _Zappy__ | Couldn't find package libxvidcore4-dev | 07:37 |
| phoenix_srv | Surion: its in the gconf editor somewhere | 07:37 |
| phoenix_srv | im just looking it up for you now | 07:37 |
| _Zappy__ | How can I fix that ? | 07:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | soreau, i believe you could use "gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type boolean true" just use the path if you want to use gconf-editor | 07:38 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, ok, tried the backup trick...lost a bunch of errors in the errors file, got a whole bunch of new errors, and I'm still getting that exit status 256 on startup | 07:39 |
| ururus | CogitoErgoSam: setting up dsl on ubuntu is fairly easy right? we dont need so much scripts like ppp0 dial up stuff? | 07:39 |

| CogitoErgoSam | _Zappy_: I'm assuming you're trying to install video codecs? Easiest way is to just do the whole restricted extras package from the command line or software center | 07:39 |
| songer | CogitoErgoSam, i already know but I can; with fire fox | 07:39 |
| lrc03 | haahhhhaaa | 07:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, Have you tried finding out what the "exit status" error means via Google or such? | 07:39 |
| datroubler | arand in /fgrlx: libglx.so.xlibmesa and in /ati http://www.abload.de/img/atizwm6.png | 07:39 |
| songer | CogitoErgoSam, thanks | 07:39 |
| _Zappy__ | Thanks CogitoErgoSam I'll try that | 07:40 |
| CogitoErgoSam | _Zappy_: From the command line its "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras", or just search the Software Center for "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" | 07:40 |
| lrc03 | marssssssssss | 07:40 |
| lrc03 | aab g | 07:40 |
| lrc03 | kp | 07:40 |
| songer | nomad77, says Building dependency tree | 07:40 |
| lrc03 | kpp | 07:40 |
| lrc03 | iohiui | 07:40 |
| ururus | is ./configure; make; make install or is it | <-- | 07:40 |
| CogitoErgoSam | _Zappy_: And obviously if you're using a different flavor of ubuntu like kubuntu that'd be kubuntu-restricted-extras or whatever | 07:40 |
| Geoffrey2 | YankDownUnder, I've tried, problem is information overload, I get 30 different possible explanations, covering five different versions of ubuntu..figuring out which applies to me, that's the fun part | 07:41 |
| ururus | tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz | 07:41 |
| nomad77 | ururus: generally but read any install/readme files | 07:41 |
| _Zappy__ | CogitoErgoSam, Just trying to install subversion | 07:41 |
| ururus | nomad77: what about dsl setup in ubuntu fairly easy or need ppp0 dial up type scripts ? | 07:42 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ururus: What do you mean installing dsl? If your router/modem is already set up, ubuntu should automatically detect and set up the connection | 07:42 |
| ururus | nomad77: or it just asks to put my localhost IP? | 07:42 |
| nomad77 | ururus: should be auto,uses dhclient | 07:42 |
| songer | nomad77, Building dependency tree , Package firefox is not installed, so not removed | 07:43 |
| G-man | what is the best type of file system to use with a fresh install of Ubuntu the latest distro | 07:43 |
| G-man | ? | 07:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Geoffrey2, Well, the niggly stuff is what makes it all the more fun as a puzzle...as long as you can boot and use, it's all good...but it is kinda strange that...could be from a nonexistent program trying to startup via the init scdripts or in your startup.... | 07:43 |
| nope | G-man: for what use? | 07:43 |
| nomad77 | songer: then youre good | 07:43 |
| __dantheman | my vote goes to ext3 or 4 | 07:43 |
| G-man | web browsing, video stream, and mp3's | 07:43 |
| nope | ext4 works nice | 07:43 |
| nope | desktop then | 07:43 |
| DanaG | hmm, how's butterfs? | 07:43 |
| DanaG | btrfs. | 07:43 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: The current newest fs is ext4 | 07:43 |
| nope | I run ext4 here | 07:43 |
| G-man | desktop | 07:43 |
| red2kic | G-man: Whatever suit you well. ext4 is for me. I like new stuffs. :) | 07:44 |
| __dantheman | < ext4, too | 07:44 |
| nope | DanaG: I wouldnt use btrfs in production | 07:44 |
| DanaG | icantbelieveitsnotbtr | 07:44 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: Well, newest commonly used one for personal use; not gonna get into server / data warehouse kinds of situations | 07:44 |
| nope | but for testing, sure | 07:44 |
| nomad77 | production i'd use ext3 myself | 07:44 |
| songer | but firefox still there, nomad77 | 07:44 |
| G-man | should i make the hard drive partitioned or no? | 07:44 |
| * YankDownUnder prefers ReiserFS...the professional choice of murder suspects! :) | 07:44 | |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: Planning on dual booting? | 07:44 |
| nope | G-man: if you partition it properly, a reinstall would be a lot easier | 07:44 |
| nomad77 | songer: you installed firefox,how? | 07:44 |
| ldez | YankDownUnder: hahahahaha | 07:45 |
| G-man | G-man this is on another computer im looking at it right now | 07:45 |
| nope | YankDownUnder: I`m probably gonna get stoned here, but I actually prefer ZFS :) | 07:45 |
| arand | datroubler: hmm, if you run apt-get check, does it indicate which packages are broken? | 07:45 |
| G-man | i popped in the Gparted live cd | 07:45 |

| ururus | CogitoErgoSam: i havent used linux for a while | 07:46 |

| nope | YankDownUnder: only issue I have with zfs, is that I have to use solaris or freebsd :) | 07:46 |
| ururus | CogitoErgoSam: i use to have to make a ppp0 script and all that before using dsl back in late 90's | 07:46 |

| red2kic | Kitar|st: You're lying. You're spamming. :\ | 07:46 |

| YankDownUnder | nope, Um...what's wrong with Solaris or FreeBSD? (Looks around to see if Bill Gates is looking) - mate, they're great! | 07:47 |
| nomad77 | songer: was it a .deb? | 07:47 |
| phoenix_srv | one more question, for whoever's able to answer it | 07:47 |

| phoenix_srv | why is the grub in ubuntu 10.04 so slow? | 07:47 |
| CogitoErgoSam | ururus: Nothin to apologize for, I got nothin' but respect for peeps who do all their research ahead of time | 07:47 |
| nope | YankDownUnder: I know, but I`m more comfortable with linux : | 07:47 |
| songer | with a sources | 07:47 |
| nope | ) | 07:47 |
| Loshki | nope: do people really do that? (use debian with bsd kernel) | 07:47 |
| phoenix_srv | like, it hangs for at least 10 seconds before booting into windows | 07:47 |
| maco | Loshki: yes | 07:47 |
| maco | Loshki: debian even lists it on their site | 07:47 |
| maco | Loshki: debian/hurd as well | 07:47 |
| YankDownUnder | nope, I'm more comfy with OS/2, but hey, we're all in the same boat! :) | 07:47 |
| nope | hehehe | 07:48 |
| songer | i add a o souces then i did update | 07:48 |
| Loshki | maco: amazing. Any idea why? | 07:48 |
| nomad77 | songer: then cd to the folder try sudo make uninstall | 07:48 |
| CogitoErgoSam | phoenix_srv: Are you talking about booting up the first time after installing 10.04, or is this slow-down happening every time | 07:48 |
| nope | OS2 warp, those were the days | 07:48 |
| maco | Loshki: fun? | 07:48 |
| phoenix_srv | every time, CogitoErgoSam | 07:48 |
| Loshki | maco: oh, right. Fair enough... | 07:48 |

| YankDownUnder | NerdsFone, grub2 | 07:49 |

| stanman246 | hi in here. I'm running 9.10 on my HP laptop (production) anyone running into bugs upgrading to 10.04 LTS? | 07:49 |
| * YankDownUnder is going for coffee cuz drugs cost way too much... | 07:49 | |
| NerdsFone | lucid doesnt use grub2 does it? | 07:49 |
| stanman246 | or should I wait... | 07:50 |
| maco | NerdsFone: yes it does | 07:50 |
| nope | I got my laptop running 10.04 this weekend | 07:50 |
| G-man | what is better ext 4 or ext 3 for music/video/mp3's | 07:50 |
| nope | damn it boots quick | 07:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | NerdsFone, grub2 is default in fresh karmic/lucid installs | 07:50 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: It is enabled by the package "e2fslibs" which is part of the normal install | 07:50 |
| phoenix_srv | NerdsFone: it does, it uses grub version 1.97 i believe, which is grub 2 | 07:50 |
| phoenix_srv | go figure :P | 07:50 |
| NerdsFone | all my boot options besides ubuntu are broken | 07:50 |

| G-man | saving a dying machine | 07:50 |
| G-man | :D | 07:50 |
| nope | I did a complete reinstall | 07:50 |
| phoenix_srv | NerdsFone: i have the same problem, due to me choosing to install it to all partitions | 07:50 |
| phoenix_srv | stanman246: no problems aside from my own silliness, no | 07:50 |
| Loshki | phoenix_srv: a masterpiece of version numbering, to be sure... | 07:51 |
| shelan | hi what is the package name for sun-java6-jdk ? | 07:51 |
| songer | nomad77, all greens? | 07:51 |
| khussein78 | i cannot access ubuntu one, i can access the website | 07:51 |
| phoenix_srv | Loshki: agreed ;) | 07:51 |
| nope | shelan: have you enabled partner repo? | 07:51 |
| NerdsFone | Phoenix_srv it won't let me use just a partition. | 07:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | khussein78, you might want to ask in #ubuntuone | 07:51 |
| nope | sun java has been moved | 07:51 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: Realistically speaking most users aren't going to notice any difference between ext3 or 4, you're not going to be dealing with massive files and fs trees | 07:51 |
| shelan | nope | 07:51 |
| khussein78 | i am behind juniper firewall, which ports should be opened | 07:51 |
| nomad77 | songer: then manually remove the files | 07:51 |
| phoenix_srv | NerdsFone: you don't want to, you only want to use the device (such as /dev/sda) when upgrading | 07:51 |
| phoenix_srv | no partitions at all | 07:52 |
| Loshki | G-man: fewer problems with ext3, and more recovery options if you do... | 07:52 |
| NerdsFone | but I have Windows and OSX on the same harddrive. | 07:52 |
| ZykoticK9 | shelan, see blue not on top of http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/java | 07:52 |
| shelan | nope :i will enable it | 07:52 |
| progesterone | Question: how can I make Yakuake to be able to use left/right/up/down key in insert mode? | 07:52 |
| stanman246 | I'll just do the upgrade... fingers crossed.... | 07:52 |
| phoenix_srv | NerdsFone: that's fine, the boot loader will select them still properly | 07:52 |
| Austin116 | Hey Guys, Retard here. I need some help. | 07:52 |
| Austin116 | becasue I am stupid. | 07:52 |
| NerdsFone | with refit too? | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | just backup before you do, NerdsFone | 07:53 |
| shelan | ZykoticK9>thank you very much | 07:53 |
| Austin116 | I formatted my Ubuntu drive... can't boot into windows. | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | and by refit, do you mean resize partition? | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | Austin116: you'll need your windows cd | 07:53 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: The main drive behind ext4 was to provide huge server farms to address volumes up to 1 exabyte in size and files up to 16 tb | 07:53 |
| Austin116 | Yeah? | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | then boot into the recovery console | 07:53 |
| Austin116 | run a repair? | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | and type: | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | fixboot | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | fixmbr | 07:53 |
| FloodBot4 | phoenix_srv: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:53 |
| maco | PhilMather: rEFIt is a tool for messing with efi based systems | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | or if you're on vista or windows 7, use the recovery tools | 07:53 |
| Austin116 | Oh thanks. | 07:53 |
| phoenix_srv | no worries | 07:54 |
| stanman246 | can i work while dist upgrading? | 07:54 |
| arand | datroubler: hmm, I'm not sure but what you could try is to temopraily rename those folders (i.e. disable them) and see if apt manges to finish then | 07:54 |
| maco | PhilMather: er not you | 07:54 |
| Austin116 | I really like Ubuntu, I just used actiive killdisk on the WRONG drive. | 07:54 |
| phoenix_srv | stanman246: yes, you can | 07:54 |
| maco | phoenix_srv: rEFIt is a tool for messing with efi based systems | 07:54 |
| Austin116 | I set it and walked off. | 07:54 |
| phoenix_srv | may encounter a few funnies though | 07:54 |
| m0ns00n | Hello | 07:54 |
| Austin116 | came back and was Super sad. :P | 07:54 |
| stanman246 | phoenix_srv: funnies? | 07:54 |
| Loshki | stanman246: because upgrading isn't a big enough gamble all by itself? You can, but don't... | 07:54 |
| phoenix_srv | maco: which of my questions was that related to? | 07:54 |
| m0ns00n | More people experiencing weird graphics problems with the nvidia drivers in Lucid Lynx? | 07:54 |
| m0ns00n | Blender is now a blurred smudge | 07:54 |
| datroubler | arand i cant rename them | 07:54 |
| phoenix_srv | stanman246: as in, packages get uninstalled and upgraded while your working | 07:55 |
| m0ns00n | Window dragging is super slow. | 07:55 |
| Austin116 | I owe you a drink, Phoenix. Especially since it was something simple :P | 07:55 |
| maco | phoenix_srv: <phoenix_srv> and by refit, do you mean resize partition? | 07:55 |
| arand | datroubler: Are you currently using the ati drivers there? | 07:55 |
| phoenix_srv | so programs can go haywire | 07:55 |
| Loshki | stanman246: and make a backup first in case it all goes horribly wrong... | 07:55 |
| phoenix_srv | ah | 07:55 |
| phoenix_srv | ok, thanks maco | 07:55 |
| datroubler | arand no the open source one | 07:55 |
| phoenix_srv | Austin116: i'll keep that in mind ;) glad to help | 07:55 |
| stanman246 | I already did and will stop working untill i see the nice purple logon screen, thanks all | 07:55 |
| DanaG | argh, why doesn't ubuntu offer a UEFI-bootable installer? | 07:55 |
| ldez | stanman246: while upgrading i lost a couple icons (firefox).. that was kind of funny... but i didnt lose any functionality while trying to upgrade.... firefox and thunderbird both seemed like they defaulted to original settings but it wasnt detrimental.. just had to recheck an option or two on thunderbird and things were working normally very easily. | 07:55 |
| ldez | probably no more funnies than you would experience immediately after upgrading...... or so i would assume | 07:56 |
| arand | datroubler: "sudo mv /usr/lib/fglrx /usr/lib/fglrx_BAK && sudo mv /usr/share/ati /usr/share/ati_BAK" | 07:56 |
| stanman246 | will be back after the upgrade! | 07:56 |
| Austin116 | wish me luck :P Im off. Also, Active killdisk, AWesome program. its how I managed to get online. Tell your friends. :P | 07:57 |
| arand | datroubler: After that run "sudo aptitude -f install" again. | 07:57 |
| phoenix_srv | ldez: my immediately after upgrading scenario was fine, oddly | 07:57 |

| jwmcgregor | anyone there | 07:59 |
| Loshki | G-man: use ext3 instead, ok? | 07:59 |
| ldez | phoenix_srv: just was offering my experience to other guy who was debating trying to work while upgrading though | 07:59 |
| maco | jwmcgregor: nobody here but us chickens | 08:00 |
| phoenix_srv | ldez: yeah, i understand, was just sharing that mine was fine for whoever wanted to know :) | 08:00 |
| phoenix_srv | it surprised me too :P | 08:00 |
| G-man | why ext 3? | 08:00 |
| CogitoErgoSam | G-man: ext4 is quicker to run file system checks on too | 08:00 |

| Loshki | jwmcgregor: ask a question... | 08:00 |
| jwmcgregor | I have a prob with 10.4 wondering if anyone able to advise | 08:00 |
| maco | jwmcgregor: state the problem and if someone can answer they will | 08:00 |
| ldez | !ask | 08:00 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 08:00 |
| wildbat_x64 | !details | jwmcgregor | 08:01 |
| ubottu | jwmcgregor: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 08:01 |
| Loshki | G-man: because ext3 has fewer problems and better support... | 08:01 |
| jwmcgregor | In 10.4 (just upgraded) I can't get it to save the visual effects - extra and not sure if there is a config file I can manually set | 08:02 |

| Flannel | Mouzz: Just regular daily updates | 08:06 |
| arand | datroubler: When you ran aptitude, what did it say? | 08:06 |
| jwmcgregor | System -> Preferences ->Appearance Preferences - Visual Effects - Extra * allows you to set but it does not save defaults back to None after logout / login | 08:07 |

| ha1331 | This might be silly question, but can I use linux sockets to enable communications between postresql server and client if I have infiniband nic's and switch? | 08:07 |
| CogitoErgoSam | jwmcgregor: What video card are you using, and are the appropriate drivers needed or installed under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers | 08:07 |
| arand | datroubler: "sudo aptitude -f install" | 08:08 |

| datroubler | arand http://paste.ubuntu.com/427463/ | 08:08 |
| ldez | jwmcgregor: CogitoErgoSam read my mind.. the package used for the visual effects is "compiz" and sometimes requires the "Restricted" drivers to be installed........ also.. any relation to Allan McGregor? lol, didnt think so, but man would that be awesome | 08:09 |

| datroubler | arand it works!!!!!! | 08:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | yohannbzh: This will show you the full boot command. At the end of the line that has "quiet" and "splash", try adding "i915.modeset=0" | 08:28 |

| maco | ComradeHaz`: why does it highlight you when i didnt type comrade before it or ` after it? your highlight rules are broken | 08:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | yohannbzh: If i915 is hanging and making you crash, that line might disable it and let you boot up normally | 08:29 |
| jwmcgregor | The only thing that is different is that previously the monitors were detected and they are coming up as unknown in 10.4 | 08:29 |

| CogitoErgoSam | yohannbzh: I have to log for the night, but if that fixes your problem, you can save the changes by adding i915.modeset=0 to /etc/default/grub | 08:30 |
| masterkey | where is ? /etc/X11/xorg.conf - nVidia kernel -PAE :( updated | 08:30 |

| denis12345 | wizard_: over burn? | 08:33 |
| wizard_ | denis12345: most cd-r can be burned to have more than 700MB of data. | 08:33 |
| denis12345 | wizard_: ah ok | 08:33 |
| wizard_ | Also, the iso is under 700MB when I downlaoded it. | 08:33 |
| wizard_ | -_- | 08:34 |
| jwmcgregor | can anyone else help with my compiz problem | 08:34 |
| wizard_ | Where did you get yoru iso? | 08:34 |
| rww | denis12345: It's probably a unit display issue. Ubuntu and Kubuntu CD images are all under 700MB. | 08:34 |
| ZykoticK9 | denis12345, are you sure you are using the Lucid final CD? There where problems with BETA not fitting on a CD, but this was resolved before final. | 08:34 |
| EmilioTucci | ZykoticK9, so it's late for me? I had to remove the mysql-server and mysql-client before perfomring the upgrade? | 08:34 |
| denis12345 | ZykotickK9: Yeah I downloaded the final | 08:34 |
| denis12345 | rww, they changed to using MB instead of mb so 700MB doesn't fit on a disk designed for 700mb | 08:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | EmilioTucci, i'm not really familiar with the issue - i just remember reading about it in the release notes, and thus sent them to you. Good luck. | 08:35 |
| crdlb | denis12345: what's the filename? | 08:35 |
| rww | denis12345: Umm, no. | 08:35 |

| slam-dunk | maco - promiscuous? I'm not trying to have wild sex here, I'm just trying to run Wireshark. :) | 08:54 |

| slam-dunk | ubuntuaddicted - anything securitywise (negatively speaking) about this command I should be aware of? And do I have to run this on each startup for it to work, or is this a one time deal? | 08:57 |
| EmilioTucci | I uninstall completely mysql server, I install it again, and the same issue | 08:58 |
| maco | slam-dunk: once per boot | 08:58 |
| ubuntuaddicted | slam dunk its just one time...its just for sniffing purposes | 08:58 |
| arand | App_: Possibly, it tends to be flaky and it wouldn't surprise me now after release and all, you could always use another keyserver I guess | 08:58 |

| Reilithion | slam-dunk: If you're concerned about security, you should research the subject yourself. It isn't wise to take the word(s) of chat room participants for granted.

| markatto | ectospasm: you have to change your sources first for that to work, I think | 09:01 |
| ectospasm | markatto: OK, I thought it might be something like that. | 09:01 |
| wizard_ | ectospasm: sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:01 |

| App_ | add a PPA | 09:01 |
| ectospasm | wizard_: yeah, I knew that | 09:02 |
| llutz | ectospasm: dist-upgrade needs your sources.list to be cahnged to 10.04 to work | 09:02 |
| App_ | and add the key with apt-key , its jaunty | 09:02 |
| ubuntuaddicted | outgoing port 11371 needs to be open for keyserver | 09:02 |

| EagleWatch | hi all .. I'm trying to connect via ssh from my server to another and I got "Host key verification failed". My known hosts is empty... something else? | 09:13 |
| Ritlee | EagleWatch, try straight up rm known_hosts if that doesn | 09:14 |
| ani | how many people use nvidia card here? | 09:14 |
| arand | llutz: Feel your annoyance, the whole dist-upgrade is a common misconception :( | 09:14 |
| EagleWatch | Ritlee, I rename it and the same | 09:14 |
| Ritlee | EagleWatch, try straight up rm known_hosts if that doesn't work, your may need to have the key regenerated on the computer you are trying to connect to | 09:15 |
| markatto | hasibullah: if you can't figure out the the display settings menu, I can't help you | 09:15 |
| llutz | arand: should have been called different | 09:15 |
| Ritlee | EagleWatch, try the latter then... if you can | 09:15 |
| markatto | hasibullah: and there is no reason that you needed to private message me with that | 09:15 |
| llutz | arand: anyways, got used over all the years to it | 09:15 |
| hasibullah | markatto sorry if you got angry | 09:16 |
| EagleWatch | Ritlee, about the key | 09:16 |
| arand | llutz: Well, at least aptitude has full-upgrade, now if just aptitude would become common practice... | 09:16 |
| fsfe | to connect to your server through ssh use : ssh -l <username> <ip> then it will ask you for passwd | 09:16 |
| EagleWatch | Ritlee, I have to regenerate my server key? | 09:17 |
| Ritlee | EagleWatch, if you can locally access the computer that you want to ssh to, try the command $sudo ssh-keygen -t dsa | 09:17 |
| markatto | hasibullah: I don't have an ubuntu box so I can't explain the menu to you | 09:18 |
| Ritlee | EagleWatch, yeah if the key is generated or has become corrupt it could be giving you that error | 09:18 |

| Mandrew-on-the-n | how do i install a irc client so i can chat on irc :P | 09:51 |
| Sacho | are you sure php5-common is the package in karmic, Q|? | 09:51 |
| maco | salmon: at some point after you get online, itll check for updates. thats all itll do unless you configure it (its not default) to install updates automatically | 09:51 |
| maco | Mandrew-on-the-n: you're here | 09:51 |
| wildbat | Mandrew-on-the-n, sudo apt-get install xchat | 09:51 |
| Mandrew-on-the-n | hahaha just messing around ;) | 09:52 |
| Q| | Sacho, shouldn't have changed, and according to this site: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/php/php5-common it is | 09:52 |
| salmon | it's a good way to install trojan horses i think | 09:52 |

| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 10:07 |

| red2kic | Hello #ubuntu -- What does notify-osd depends on? ibus? | 10:14 |
| viliny_ | red2kic: have you tried sudo apt-get build-dep notify-osd? | 10:14 |
| rww | red2kic: notify-osd doesn't depend on ibus, no. The dependency list is at http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/notify-osd | 10:14 |
| red2kic | rww: Heh. Well, I'm trying to figure out why I'm having old classic notification daemon bubbles (at bottom right) instead of that fancy new notify-osd. | 10:16 |
| rww | red2kic: because you have notification-daemon installed instead of notify-osd, I'd imagine | 10:16 |
| rww | or you have both installed for some reason. either way, remove notification-daemon. | 10:16 |
| Baram | I'm trying to re-install grub2 via the livecd (upgrade didn't go so well), wiki says to edit /etc/default/grub, but it's a blank file... | 10:16 |

| red2kic | Sir! | 10:16 |
| Ritlee | kjele how might i find out? dmesg | grep ?? or ? | 10:16 |
| viliny_ | Baram: iirc grub2 uses a config file that you aren't supposed to manually edit... i might be wrong though | 10:17 |
| kjele | Ritlee: Do you know what video card you are using at all? | 10:17 |
| Baram | viliny_: right, that's callled grub.cfg, which is different from /etc/default/grub | 10:17 |
| Ritlee | most likely a intel based card, but not off hand i can interrogate dell's website possibly | 10:18 |
| viliny_ | Baram: Yeah sounds about right, sorry to not been of more help. | 10:18 |

| red2kic | twiztid: Don't use gwibber, me think. Maybe gwibber --help can help. | 10:21 |
| llutz | markitoxs: its part of the kernel | 10:21 |
| twiztid | winXPuser: how would i go about restarting the client? | 10:21 |
| beli | markitoxs: iptables is a tool to interact with the netfilter firewall...and its kernel based | 10:21 |

| winXPuser | twiztid, maybe when you restart it, it will be online again? | 10:22 |

| markitoxs | beli, simply no output | 10:24 |
| kjele | Ritlee: Then you should file a bug with "ubuntu-bug xserver-xorg-video-intel" and describe your suspend issue. In the mean time you can disable suspend with by edit the file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy Where it says "yes" you edit to "no" | 10:24 |

| andy112233 | Here it is: http://pastebin.com/yisw81Gp . Could the crash have to do with those fd1-errors? I notice a "floppy drive" in nautilus even though I do not have one. | 10:34 |
| andy112233 | And first off: thanks! :o) | 10:35 |
| rww | red2kic: assuming that you mean it's a panel-height away from the top to leave space for notifications like volume and brightness, yes. | 10:35 |

| beli | andy112233: whats your system? scsi? sata? | 10:40 |
| rww | red2kic: yes, like I said, it's moved down a panel to leave space for brightness or volume adjustment notifications | 10:40 |
| rww | red2kic: note that I don't say I think this is a sane thing, just that that's why it happens. | 10:40 |
| usamahashimi | geekphreak: yes, i mean which tools are used to develop that website like dreamweaver is used in windows | 10:40 |
| red2kic | rww: Alright. Just wanted to double-check. | 10:40 |
| rww | (i.e., it is not considered a bug) | 10:40 |
| kjele | usamahashimi: ubuntu.com is using dupal | 10:41 |
| geekphreak | usamahashimi: hehe how can we say ? , not one coder coded that website, every coder has its own set of tools man | 10:41 |
| andy112233 | beli: sata. I think I have a BIOS setup which lets SATA drives appear as IDE. Should I turn off this feature? I cannot imagine my optical drive crashing the system since it is quite new and never made any problems with karmic koala. | 10:41 |

| grung0r | erUSUl: no, I used the hardware drivers app | 11:01 |
| twiztid | can anyone help me with connecting a clean install of lucid to a secure router from my laptop? | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | grung0r: and it is not working this time ? System>Admin>hardware drivers | 11:02 |

| Rotwang1 | hi | 11:09 |
| Rotwang1 | i have a problem with new ubuntu 10.04 | 11:09 |
| Rotwang1 | i have grub 1 after upgrade | 11:09 |
| theadmin | Rotwang1: What is it? | 11:09 |
| viliny_ | Rotwang1: shoot | 11:09 |
| Rotwang1 | and a config file generated with update-grub | 11:09 |
| theadmin | Rotwang1: Have you updated from Jaunty/earlier? | 11:09 |
| Rotwang1 | with uuids | 11:09 |
| twiztid | how do i tell lucid to turn on my wireless card? | 11:10 |
| Rotwang1 | and grub gives error 11 | 11:10 |
| theadmin | twiztid: "sudo ifup wlan0"? | 11:10 |
| Rotwang1 | if i change root to /dev/sdaX everything works as expected | 11:10 |
| Rotwang1 | so the question is if the update-grub creates wrong config | 11:11 |
| Rotwang1 | or grub is broken?\ | 11:11 |
| erUSUL | grung0r: i do not see anythng wrong in the file the nvidia driver loads succesfully without errors ... | 11:11 |
| erUSUL | grung0r: sure is the whole file ? | 11:11 |
| theadmin | Rotwang1: Likely it's just Lucid's version of update-grub, we don't really support GRUB 1 anymore | 11:11 |
| Rotwang1 | I wonder why it happened | 11:11 |
| llutz | Rotwang1: are the used UUIDs incorrect? | 11:11 |
| grung0r | erUSUL: it is the whole file | 11:12 |
| theadmin | Rotwang1: Check if /dev/disk/by-uuid/whatever-uuid-it-sets exists. | 11:12 |
| llutz | Rotwang1: blkid | 11:12 |
| === xyz is now known as hellyeah | ||
| erUSUL | grung0r: glxinfo | grep -Ei 'vendor|version' | 11:13 |
| twiztid | theadmin: reads, Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 | 11:13 |
| grung0r | I am not getting any eroor.s I just don't have access to any high resoltuons, and am missing the windows widegts until I aplly the high effects settings in desktop setings every time I reboot | 11:13 |
| rothsdad | hey, my network Interfaces swapped every time, how to solve this problem?? | 11:13 |
| theadmin | erUSUL: "-Ei"?... i is case-insensetive, right? what is E? | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | grung0r: so only compiz works ? | 11:13 |
| Anomie2 | beli: not sure what you mean...www-data has ownership of the folder. | 11:13 |
| llutz | theadmin: regex | 11:13 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: extended regex | 11:13 |
| theadmin | erUSUL: Oh. | 11:13 |
| grung0r | compiz appears to work. as does 3d acceleration. I used google earth with no prob for instance | 11:14 |
| rothsdad | Create a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules and bind the MAC address of each of my cards | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: without it the logical or | does not work | 11:14 |
| rothsdad | but not work!! | 11:14 |
| Naib | hi, I have just upgraded a desktop to 10.4 and grub wont boot. drops me to a grub propt. any howto on howto fix? | 11:14 |
| erUSUL | rothsdad: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules <<<< is there for that reason | 11:14 |
| theadmin | Can I make the terminal run a command before it closes, everytime? | 11:15 |
| Rotwang1 | theadmin: uuids are correct | 11:15 |
| llutz | theadmin: ~/.bash_logout if you use bash | 11:15 |
| brijith | hi | 11:15 |
| bittin | hi | 11:15 |
| Rotwang1 | and /dev/disk/by-uuid exists | 11:15 |
| erUSUL | rothsdad: so it is metacity the one that fails ... weird... if you do « metacity --replace » on a terminal do you see any error? | 11:15 |
| Rotwang1 | so everything looks ok | 11:15 |
| twiztid | im desperatly trying to get my buddys laptop up with lucid but it just wont connect to my network... help!!?!?! | 11:15 |
| theadmin | llutz: ...How can I NOT use bash? o_O It is even possible to use zsh or something like that on Ubuntu? Anyway, thanks | 11:15 |
| llutz | theadmin: sure it is | 11:16 |
| brijith | Hi all I cann't install ubuntu 9.10 in i7 | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: sure you can use whichever shell you like | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: run "chsh" | 11:16 |
| tarzeau | brijith: tried 10.04? | 11:16 |
| rothsdad | erUSUL: mine is kubuntu | 11:16 |
| geekphreak | brijith: i installed it on i5 , works ok here, not sure about i7 | 11:16 |
| grung0r | http://paste.ubuntu.com/427551/ | 11:16 |
| rothsdad | erUSUL: so command not found | 11:16 |
| theadmin | llutz: Hm, doesn't seem to work. I appended "history -c" to that file, yet it does not clean history after exit | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | rothsdad: so is kwin the one failing ... no familiar with it | 11:16 |
| erUSUL | rothsdad: about the resolution problem... tried with « kdesu nvidia-settings » ? | 11:17 |
| theadmin | erUSUL: Okay whozat o_O It asks for password | 11:17 |
| brijith | geekphreak:after 5 or 10 minutes installation freezes | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: your password | 11:17 |
| theadmin | erUSUL: And who is chsh? | 11:17 |
| theadmin | erUSUL: I see, change-shell... | 11:17 |
| rothsdad | erUSUL: thx | 11:17 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: make sure you have the shell you are ging to change to installed | 11:17 |
| twiztid | anyone else have any suggestions as to why its so hard for a fresh instlal of linux to connect to a wpa2 personal router? | 11:18 |
| theadmin | So theoretically I can even set, say, python as default shell? o_O | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | theadmin: python can not act as shell | 11:18 |
| geekphreak | brijith: no worries here, did you run md5sum on iso? | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | !details | twiztid | 11:18 |
| ubottu | twiztid: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 11:18 |
| geekphreak | theadmin: python aint shell | 11:18 |
| brijith | geekphreak:Iam uisng the shipped version | 11:19 |
| theadmin | geekphreak: I dunno... "#!/usr/bin/env python" in a shellscript works :P | 11:19 |
| llutz | theadmin: thats a shebang | 11:19 |
| theadmin | llutz: Right, it tells which shell to use | 11:19 |
| twiztid | erUSUI: hey anyone know why my fresh install of lucid on my laptop wont connect to my secured network even after ive entered in the proper ssid and wpa personal password; my pc is on the same network with lucid and runnin fine... | 11:19 |
| llutz | theadmin: or what interpreter | 11:19 |
| beli | "Gave up waiting for root device" | 11:19 |
| beli | that's the error message | 11:19 |

| SammyTheSnake | I have a pretty badly broken upgrade from karmic to lucid going on here, the upgrade was interrupted and now all the usual fixes don't work. I've tried "aptitude install -f" "dpkg --configure -a" and various other things. I'm getting errors like the following and I have no idea what the fix is! "E: I wasn't able to locate a file for the sensible-utils package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. ( | 11:21 |
| SammyTheSnake | can anyone help me? | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ? | 11:21 |
| SammyTheSnake | erUSUL: I tried that first ;) | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: maybe there are still packages to dwonload | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: sometimes it takes a few runs of dpkg --configure -a to fix an interruted upgrade | 11:22 |
| henkpoley | What kernel package handles nvidia modules on 10.04 ? | 11:23 |
| SammyTheSnake | erUSUL: I don't think that's the problem, it's quite happy to download new packages, but can't configure them because of dependencies on unconfigured packages | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | !find nvidia-glx | 11:23 |
| ubottu | Found: nvidia-glx-173, nvidia-glx-173-dev, nvidia-glx-180, nvidia-glx-180-dev, nvidia-glx-185 (and 3 others) | 11:23 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: that's why i said you have to run dpkg --configure -a a few times in a row. | 11:23 |
| henkpoley | Yeah, but their used to be 'non free' package (or somesuch) that contains the modules | 11:23 |
| SammyTheSnake | erUSUL: every time I run dpkg --configure -a I get the same error, lots of dependency warnings but starting with "dpkg: error processing debianutils (--configure): | 11:24 |
| SammyTheSnake | Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 11:24 |
| SammyTheSnake | reinstall it before attempting configuration." | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: so dependencies are being sattisfied | 11:24 |
| henkpoley | Well, I guess I'll see when I reboot | 11:24 |
| twiztid | erUSUI: tried sudo ifup wlan0; got Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0 and sudo lshw -C network says that network: 0 is a Ethernet interface, network: 1 is a network controller, and lastly it says network DISABLED, description, wireless interface | 11:24 |
| theadmin | SammyTheSnake: Do what it says? sudo apt-get --reinstall install debianutils? | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | SammyTheSnake: sudo aptitude reinstall debianutils | 11:24 |
| SammyTheSnake | erUSUL: so I try aptitude reinstall debianutils which wants to download some stuff, but comes back with the error message I started with | 11:25 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: disabled? give me the output of « sudo rfkill list » | 11:25 |
| SammyTheSnake | erUSUL: I can follow instructions, the error message just leaves me completely flummoxed and google doesn't seem to help with the "due to missing arch" bit of it... | 11:25 |
| theadmin | hm, is it me or do apt-get and aptitude handle dependencies... differently? | 11:25 |
| twiztid | 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no | 11:26 |
| twiztid | erUSUI: above, sry | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up | 11:26 |

| Nemurenai | Hi. I've set up Remote Desktop on Lucid - I can log in fine to the machine, but the desktop won't register clicks....unless I log out and in again after each click, and that's just silly | 11:30 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: only need to know if there is output | 11:30 |
| twiztid | erUSUL: yes | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: ok; « sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter && sudo modprobe -r b43 && sudo modprobe b43 » | 11:31 |
| brijith | geekphreak:no | 11:31 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: run that command | 11:31 |

| erUSUL | twiztid: run that command line | 11:31 |
| twiztid | erUSUL: on it | 11:32 |
| twiztid | erUSUL: will this get it from my live cd or a library on the hd? | 11:32 |
| gnuskool | ive got win7,xp, linux and upgraded to the latest lucid - problem is i want a clean install instead of upgraded, can i just re-install over the old one and keep the setup alive? | 11:32 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: from internet ... you have to be connected by other means | 11:32 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: wired | 11:33 |
| twiztid | erUSUL: i8 gotcha, ill get on that does; is lucid able to share its wireless connection if i attach a ethernet from laptop to pc? | 11:33 |
| erUSUL | gnuskool: define "keep the setup alive" | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: yes | 11:34 |
| geekphreak | brijith: i would also check oher options , not sure if it is i7 issue though | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | !ics | twiztid | 11:34 |

| erUSUL | twiztid: should be pretty easy with network manager | 11:34 |
| geekphreak | brijith: like system is not heating u, maybe try cleaning cd drive and all that | 11:34 |
| twiztid | erUSUL: cool ill get on that and report back when done, i greatly appreciate it!!! | 11:34 |
| herrgabriel | hey! anyone know if it is till possible to make firefox work with globalmenu0.7.9 on ubuntu 10.04? | 11:34 |
| erUSUL | twiztid: no problem | 11:34 |
| Bamieater | Okay, finally managed to get some feedback. Ubuntu 10.04 install CD hangs at 'Loading' with a blinking cursor. | 11:36 |
| erUSUL | Bamieater: checked the cd for errors ? | 11:36 |
| Squarism | Bamieater: Tried windows 7? I like it | 11:36 |
| geekphreak | Bamieater: not a good feedback :( | 11:36 |
| theadmin | Squarism: That's offtopic. | 11:37 |
| Squarism | =D | 11:37 |
| geekphreak | erUSUL: would i7 cause conflict with ubuntu installation ? | 11:37 |
| erUSUL | geekphreak: it shouldn't | 11:38 |
| Bamieater | erUSUL: tried that aswell, when I pick that option it 'freezes' at the boot menu | 11:38 |
| wers | for the first time, something appeared on my gwibber stream. was gwibber buggy or is it just my computer and/or internet connection? | 11:38 |

| Jessica_ | hi can anyone here help me integrate pidgin into the new memenu .I am on lucid and a total newbie | 11:38 |
| G_A_C | Jessica_: I found that it integrated as soon as I installed it in Lucid | 11:38 |
| erUSUL | Bamieater: tried the cd in other computer ? | 11:38 |
| G_A_C | that didn't happen in Karmic, but Lucid was much better in that regard | 11:39 |
| jart | isn't ubuntu focusing on empathy these days instead of pidgin? | 11:39 |
| jart | :'( | 11:39 |
| G_A_C | yes | 11:39 |
| G_A_C | but empathy isn't great | 11:39 |
| Dead_Pixel | i used gtkpod to sync my ipod, then i "safely removed it" to let it charge... now when i plug in my ipod, gtkpod doesnt recognize it, even after i click "load ipod" | 11:39 |
| Bamieater | erUSUL: not yet.. good idea to try, because I don't get any useful errors or feedback | 11:39 |
| G_A_C | a lot of the time when I resume from suspend it either a) won't connect to MSN until I kill telepathy-butterfly or b) looks like it's connected (shows me "online" contacts) and then later I find out that in actual fact I'm offline and it's just showing me contacts that were online ages ago | 11:40 |
| erUSUL | Bamieater: ruling out a bad burn is a good idea | 11:40 |
| DarkHelmut | FYI, if anyone is having problems with an external monitor being fuzzy on laptops w/ ATI cards, this link worked for me http://beyondteck.blogspot.com/2010/05/flickering-monitor-in-ubuntu-1004-for.html | 11:40 |
| Squarism | a good os, is a shallow os | 11:40 |
| G_A_C | so I've gone back to Pidgin for now | 11:40 |

| gnuskool | erUSUL: by 2keep alive" i mean that I wont lose xp or win 7 or mess the boot loaders | 11:41 |
| brijith | geekphreak:I think there is some problem with i7 when it comes with Ubuntu | 11:42 |
| erUSUL | gnuskool: it should overwritte the existing grub with the lucid version. but the lucid version should include the entries for the windows installed | 11:42 |

| debclair | hi, i have ubuntu installed in my first hard drive and now want to install windowsxp (college u_u') in my second (empty) hard drive. but winxp says it needs a compatible partition on hard drive 1, any option? | 11:43 |
| geekphreak | brijith: question for you, does it hang at exact same place? | 11:43 |
| jrib | debclair: change the order of your drives in bios? | 11:43 |
| G_A_C | debclair: swap your HDs, Ubuntu recognises by UUID not device name by default so it should still boot OK if it suddenly gets thrown onto the second drive | 11:44 |
| gnuskool | erUSUL: cool thx | 11:44 |
| brijith | geekphreak:when I install directly it stuck at around 5% | 11:44 |
| debclair | jrib, oh, wow, thanks , and sorry for the inconveniences | 11:44 |
| Jessica_ | G_A_C:but how do i do that... I uninstalled empathy.. installed pidgin.. but no it is not there on the memenu | 11:44 |
| debclair | G_A_C, thank you very much | 11:44 |
| debclair | bye everyone | 11:44 |
| jrib | debclair: hold on | 11:44 |
| debclair | ? | 11:45 |
| brijith | geekphreak:when i install it after booting it live it freezes around 45 % | 11:45 |

| debclair | jrib, ? | 11:45 |
| brijith | Dead_Pixel:is there any work around | 11:45 |
| geekphreak | brijith: i dont get it | 11:45 |
| jrib | debclair: if you do change the order, grub may break (if you use UUIDs it won't). Just don't be worried if it does. If it does break and you aren't sure how to fix it, just come back here. Also, see ubottu on how to reinstall grub | 11:45 |
| jrib | !grub2 > debclair | 11:45 |
| ubottu | debclair, please see my private message | 11:45 |
| G_A_C | Jessica_: you could try logging out/in, or killing the indicator-panel-applet process | 11:45 |
| Jessica_ | G_A_C:but whenever I click chat accounts on memenu I dont get anything | 11:45 |
| brijith | it freezes sometimes at 5% some times at 45 % | 11:45 |
| jrib | debclair: that's all I wanted to tell you :) | 11:46 |

| cpbtklogic | not the right approach (as geekphreak poited out) | 12:29 |
| wildbat | zenta, follow the the installation instrustion you should be able to | 12:30 |
| zenta | wildbat: ok , thankuo i will follow now and see what happen | 12:30 |
| cpbtklogic | silv3r_m00n: put the disk in and have windows install itself. Then, once completed, reinstall linux (if it isn't too much work) | 12:30 |

| TopKatz | thanks ActionParsnip | 12:50 |
| airtonix | TopKatz, if you use the metacity --replace then you wont have compiz anymore. | 12:50 |
| geekphreak | Dr4g: usermod command | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | idefine: then watch that bug, you should also comment to say "yes I get this too" | 12:50 |
| beli | Austad: depends....you can setup it as standalone service or as a inetd subservice | 12:50 |

| geekphreak | omac: yes | 12:50 |
| jken146 | omac: yes | 12:51 |

| brijith | Hi all,I have got a new PC, in That I cann't install Ubuntu9.10. installation freezes after a while . | 12:51 |
| geekphreak | greenIT: download from synaptic? | 12:51 |
| Dr4g | geekphreak, beli thanks | 12:51 |
| airtonix | TopKatz, because the default window-decorator for compiz is called gnome-window-decorator and the easiest way to switch between emerald and gnome-window-decorator is using fusion-icon | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | brijith: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 12:51 |

| Austad | beli, i configured oidentd from that link. | 12:53 |

| omac | I created an 8GB USB Thumb drive with the 10.04 iso release. When I booted at work, it was all good and identified the hardware perfectly and quickly. BUT when I got home, I tried it on my box and it gave me a "unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1). It freaked me out because when I rebooted without the usb key, my harddrive was corrupted by it somehow. I didn't expect that. I had to resort to another previous version and boot off of it to fsck my i | 12:53 |

| Dr4g | geekphreak, cat /etc/group -> grab the GID then usermod -g .. | 12:54 |
| Dr4g | yes ? | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | brijith: yes but if you can disable the sound and lan then do so. the cpu and whatnot is moot | 12:54 |
| _Techie_ | how do i recompile alsa using the alsa-source package? | 12:54 |
| omac | The one I got the "unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1)" on was a BENQ FP71G+. | 12:55 |
| omac | I can't be more precise than that. | 12:55 |
| geekphreak | huh? | 12:55 |
| beli | Austad: are you running oidnetd standalone? or from inetd/xinetd or whatever superserver? | 12:55 |
| omac | It's an older box with Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz. | 12:55 |
| _Narc_ | john_b : Sorry, I don't know then. Plugging it with a USB to PS/2 adapter solved it for me. Maybe it's not the same bug. Your mouse still moves but you can't click buttons and windows, right ? | 12:56 |
| theadmin | Interpid is dead, right? Just to make sure | 12:56 |

| Austad | so it says it restarted | 13:00 |
| jari_ | err, my pc stopped when it was updating to 10.04 and now it doesnt boot correct | 13:00 |
| omac | Anyways, all I'm saying is be careful with 10.04 release. "unable to mount root fs on unknown block(8,1)" is a show stopper on my old box using the USB thumb drive, BUT to see it affect my internal harddrive to a point that I couldn't boot up really freaked me out. I was in crisis mode fsck'ing/repairing my internal harddrive partitions just to get my stable 9.04 ubuntu into a running state. | 13:00 |
| brijith | ActionParsnip: I can boot it live.. | 13:00 |
| geekphreak | Dr4g what does? | 13:00 |
| Dr4g | mkdir | 13:01 |
| jari_ | it boots but without x | 13:01 |
| Dr4g | but there are existing folders with atticmedia:www-data, and apache still having problems writing unless i do chmod -R 777, is there any way to guarentee www-data full write permissions to 'atticmedia's folders. | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | brijith: i see. try fsck-ing your drives. Make sure they are healthy | 13:01 |

| brijith | ActionParsnip: DOA? | 13:02 |

| beli | Dr4g: you really should read more about permissions on files and directories | 13:06 |
| Guest18683 | I need to find out what the name of the moduel is to unload lirc before a suspend and after resume' | 13:06 |
| Guest18683 | <Guest18683> Im using a dvico reciever and remote | 13:06 |
| Austad | beli i've sent you the link in notice | 13:06 |
| NightTail | hey everyone. | 13:06 |
| Dr4g | beli, i'm quite comfortable but i'm very cautious about security and don't want to have to 777 stuff. So i'm here for some reassurance from you guys. | 13:06 |
| Guest18683 | how can ui find out the module name | 13:06 |
| Guest18683 | when i do a lsmod | 13:07 |
| beli | Dr4g: your semi-knowledge is the problem.....and adjusting permissions is a normal thing to do for a *nix admin | 13:07 |
| wizzler | what's the default hotkey command to open a terminal? | 13:07 |
| beli | Dr4g: you dont need 777777777 | 13:07 |
| Guest18683 | the only thingthat looks like it is hiddev | 13:07 |
| Dr4g | or 770 | 13:07 |
| beli | Dr4g: just g+w === 7 for the group | 13:07 |
| beli | Dr4g: and you need to read what differences there are for perms on files and perms on direcotries | 13:07 |
| Dr4g | the client has to call me up and get me to permissions stuff, as i'm the *nix admin - but i'm trying to get this working without the need to chmod stuff | 13:07 |
| Guest18683 | wizzer make one settings keyboard shortcuts | 13:08 |
| NightTail | Hey guys i know this sounds like a stupid question but for the life of me I seem to have forgotten something. I know i used to beable to apt-get and install kde but I forgot which package i should grab to do a full kde install from apt | 13:08 |
| geekphreak | cpp_: :) | 13:08 |
| Austad | beli have you got the link? | 13:08 |
| furuno | NightTail : kubuntu-desktop | 13:08 |
| cpp_ | geekphreak: :-) | 13:08 |
| NightTail | so just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and I am good? | 13:08 |
| cpp_ | geekphreak: "...and heeeeeeeeeee's back" | 13:08 |
| furuno | NightTail : yeah | 13:09 |
| geekphreak | cpp_: hey sup, how did it go with that issue? | 13:09 |
| NightTail | thanks furuno | 13:09 |

| cpp_ | geekphreak: still a huge problem ... I've been doing some more simple testing ...no solutions so far. | 13:09 |
| Austad | beli should i notice you again? | 13:09 |
| NightTail | ooo and second question. Anyone know if e17 has been ported over nicely for ubuntu? | 13:09 |
| beli | Austad: got it | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | NightTail: theres proberly some PPA repos for it. | 13:09 |
| Austad | beli ok. | 13:10 |
| geekphreak | cpp_: oh ok urgh | 13:10 |
| Dr4g | beli someone advised i change the user 'atticmedia's .bashrc file to change default umask to 770 | 13:10 |
| geekphreak | Dr4g: perm. important for security :) | 13:10 |
| wizzler | Guest18683 but how can i navigate there w/o mouse? | 13:10 |
| wizzler | is there an easy way? | 13:10 |
| wizzler | perhaps select the system bar? | 13:11 |
| omac | there's another way to get around the perms problem. umount and mount as root using the command-line. | 13:11 |
| llutz | Dr4g: you want to read what a umask is before setting it to 770 | 13:11 |

| beli | Austad: start! it isnt started...maybe because of some config error.... | 13:17 |
| maco | gaivota: proposed is where packages sit when they are expected to fix a bug but we need people to test them a bit before they go to -updates | 13:17 |
| gaivota | maco, I ll test | 13:17 |
| gaivota | ah great, theres also a kernel update | 13:18 |
| tavi | more bad words...so fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk youuuuuuuu | 13:20 |
| omac | One other comment the usb bootup flash uses 4GB as a max partition to store personal data in because the vfat filesystem type has that limit. YOu can foresake the vfat if you don't need your partition to be legible from windows. From what I understand though most people I introduce linux to want the same thumb drive to be accessible from windows too. The end result for me was that I had a 4GB persistent file and roughly 3GB free for windows to play with. Th | 13:20 |
| edi_99 | Hi. Anyone has a hint on what to do with this warning: http://paste.ubuntu.com/427615/ | 13:20 |
| amabo | is there some type of program that transforms the window list to resemble something a lot closer to windows 7 (collapsing windows into an icon)? | 13:21 |
| amabo | i'd rather not use a dock | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | 'mornin' | 13:21 |
| arand | edi_99: What are you attempting to run? | 13:21 |
| edi_99 | arand: America's Army :) | 13:21 |
| jken146 | amabo: gnome-do in dock mode perhaps? But stretched out to the width of the screen | 13:21 |
| arand | amabo: dockbarx mayhaps? | 13:21 |
| FardadJalili | ActionParsnip: sorry, went away. no, it doesn't show up | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | amabo, yeah try W7 :) | 13:21 |
| craigbass1976 | What's the best fix for getting my window controls back on the right. OR, what was the rationale for putting them on the left (I might leave it if it makes sense) | 13:22 |
| maco | craigbass1976: the rationale was experimentation | 13:22 |
| Henry_BR | My touchpad doesn't work since Lucid. I have an Acer 5610. How could I fix this? Or, how could I report this bug?! I tried to report this bug but I discover that report a bug is confuse!

| zultell | alop | 13:22 |
| Guest18683 | yep xfce | 13:22 |
| maco | craigbass1976: though check sabdfl's blog to see where the experimetnation is headed | 13:22 |
| beli | edi_99: ldd $(which armystartupfile) | 13:22 |
| maco | !sabdfl | craigbass1976 | 13:22 |

| BluesKaj | amabo, maybe "folder view" | 13:22 |
| beli | edi_99: you need all the shared libs there to be installed and found on your system | 13:22 |
| omac | edi_99: you need to install the libstdc++ which is part of dev essentials....The question remains, which application was emitting that error? | 13:23 |
| PeterNL | Hi, how do I open a program on my second monitor from the terminal? | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | FardadJalili: what doesn't? | 13:23 |
| beli | omac: americas army...is the software ;) | 13:23 |
| arand | edi_99: If you run "locate libstdc++.so" does it only show .6 instead of .5? | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | amabo: several tools out to replace the window list with a icon list. 'dockbarx' is one - see http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/dockbarx-030-released-with-window.html | 13:23 |
| FardadJalili | ActionParsnip: ActionParsnip>[#ubuntu] FardadJalili: possibly fried hdd then. does it show up in bios? | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | beli: i dont know if theres been a update for the AA client for linux recently. It may be out of date. | 13:24 |
| edi_99 | arand: yes, 6 and 6.0.13 | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | FardadJalili: then its not an ubuntu issue, the hdd is faulty so is OS independant. Buy a new drive and restore user data from backup | 13:24 |
| greenIT | hi, does anyone know if i can run empathy through a proxy? | 13:24 |
| ActionParsnip | greenIT: it may obey the http_proxy variable | 13:24 |
| arand | edi_99: in that case it might work to simply create symlinks with the .5 name which links to the .6 files | 13:24 |
| airtonix | amabo, dockbarx is the closest you'll get to windows 7 taskbar. | 13:25 |
| greenIT | actionparsnip thx, didn't know if it does :) | 13:25 |
| indus | ActionParsnip, heya | 13:25 |
| omac | edi_99:ok then you need to install the specific libstdc++ .5 version through synaptic or aptitude. | 13:25 |

| beli | Austad: take a look into the logs to see if it stats an error | 13:26 |
| airtonix | PeterNL, you use devilspie to define rules | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterNL: many can take a -geometry option to set teh initial position. Or you can use compiz to set initial positions with the window placement plugin | 13:26 |

| Dr_Willis | !manual | 13:27 |
| ubottu | The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 13:27 |
| arand | beli: I meant the .5 library | 13:27 |
| zultell | how can i install kde desktop | 13:27 |
| najsowy | i have just problem with default network connection... I don't know how change from eth0 to wlan0 | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | zultell: start with the Ubuntu Manual given above. | 13:28 |
| omac | With respect to the gui changes to the max/min buttons in the window title bar or as some people would say the "window manager decorations area", I think this should be optional. It is beautiful the way it boots up. I'm not knocking the changes though. The windows do look pretty with the new max/min button placement. | 13:28 |
| arand | beli: Not in any off the defaults no, hence why I'm suggesting the symlink.. | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | zultell: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for KDE. | 13:28 |
| jken146 | zultell: install the package kubuntu-desktop | 13:28 |
| PeterNL | airtonix: thanks! | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | zultell: sudo apt-get Install kubuntu-desktop will install it as well as a whole bunch of kde apps | 13:28 |
| LordOfWhales | hey, I've got a problem that I was told y'all could maybe fix | 13:28 |
| Austad | beli, there is nothing there | 13:28 |
| airtonix | PeterNL, i think compiz might have an option like openbox does which basically says "when opening a window, open it at the point where the mouse cursor is" | 13:28 |
| beli | arand: the problem is, that if there is deprecated stuff in .6 the app will fail ;) | 13:28 |
| najsowy | i've got firestarter, network manager, but when i have both connected, then eth0 is deafult, and i can't surf the net. | 13:28 |
| LordOfWhales | When I try to boot Windows XP from GRUB, I get a blinking underscore, forever. Well, until I turn it off and boot into Ubuntu 10.04 again. | 13:28 |
| airtonix | PeterNL, also you might like to install compizconfig-settings-manager and have a look at the window rules plugin | 13:29 |
| LordOfWhales | I have already ascertained that GRUB is pointing to the right partition for Windows | 13:29 |
| najsowy | wlan0 (WiFi) is my network connection, and eth0 is local, for sharing net | 13:29 |
| PeterNL | airtonix: I can't use compiz. | 13:29 |
| airtonix | najsowy, you need to change the interface device in firestarter config. | 13:29 |
| edi_99 | omac: I've tried this: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, but apparently, it's obsolete. Any tips? | 13:29 |
| arand | beli: Indeed, but .5 isn't even available in karmic, so I assume getting old libs would be equally annoying. | 13:30 |
| LordOfWhales | any ideas? | 13:30 |
| airtonix | PeterNL, then use devilspie. | 13:30 |
| ActionParsnip | najsowy: are they connected to the same router/ | 13:30 |

| datacrusher | any starting points? | 13:30 |

| darrend | trying to update an LTS server using "sudo do-release-upgrade" and get "No new release found". Is this because I have a local mirror (apt-proxy)? | 13:31 |
| airtonix | najsowy, firestarter requires you to specify the interface on which your wan route is at | 13:31 |
| jken146 | darrend: Shouldn't be. | 13:31 |
| darrend | jken146: any idea why I would get that? | 13:32 |
| airtonix | najsowy, same config section where you can enable internet connection sharing | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | darrend: try editting the setting in software to not specify LTS and use normal, may help | 13:32 |
| guntbert | darrend: LTS upgrades are usually only suggested after the first "point" release (somwhere in june) | 13:32 |
| jken146 | darrend: Oh, a *local* mirror you say? Yes, that could easily be the problem. Try using a mirror that you know serves lucid. | 13:32 |
| FardadJalili | ActionParsnip: ok tnx | 13:32 |
| darrend | ActionParsnip: that starts an upgrade to Intrepid !! | 13:32 |
| darrend | guntbert: ah.. ok, thatnks | 13:33 |
| ActionParsnip | darrend: then you can try: sudo update-manager -d | 13:33 |
| najsowy | airtonix, no, only 1 switch, wlan0 is from computer to aerial, and eth0: computer (me) - switch - 3 computers | 13:33 |
| darrend | *thanks | 13:33 |
| airtonix | najsowy, so if you are wanting internet through eth0 you need to change it to eth0. | 13:33 |
| arand | edi_99: "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5" | 13:33 |
| guntbert | darrend: you're welcome :-) | 13:33 |
| darrend | ActionParsnip: does that not require gtk? This is a server | 13:33 |
| airtonix | najsowy, but if you get internet through wan0 then change it to wan0 | 13:33 |

Right now, if a daemon listens on all IPs for a specific port (let's say 1234), then all i see in 'netstatn -an' is :::1234 using tcp6. That's fine, but do you folks perhaps know how to segregate it out to list ipv4 and ipv6 seperately? If I had to guess, I'd say it looks like ipv4 ports are redirected internally? | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | patrickd: yea. its not commonly known about | 13:35 |
| airtonix | najsowy, ok, you need to edit the properties of both the eth0 connection and the wlan0 connection in nm-applet. | 13:36 |

| rdz | hi all. after upgrading to 10.04, 3d hardware acceleration is not enabled anymore, glxgears says: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". this with a "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller" | 13:36 |
| rdz | how can i fix that? | 13:36 |
| airtonix | najsowy, eth0 is only for your lan correct ? | 13:36 |
| najsowy | airtonix, yes! | 13:36 |
| guntbert | datacrusher: I know its too late now - but please consider testing with the live CD /USB before the next upgrade | 13:36 |
| gaivota | yeah, the -proposed repo fixes the gimp issue! | 13:36 |
| airtonix | najsowy, and wlan is only for connecting to internet ? | 13:36 |
| gaivota | thanks maco | 13:36 |
| najsowy | airtonix, yes | 13:36 |
| dennda | What tool can I use to bidirectionally read and write to my google calendar? (except the web ui obviously). I failed at setting it up in thunderbird with lightning | 13:37 |

| omac | the lib designers do their best to keep the api backward compatible. If it still doesn't work, you'll have to install the sources for libstdc++ 5. and configure, make, make install | 13:37 |
| omac | that was for edi_99 | 13:37 |
| datacrusher | guntbert, way to late | 13:37 |
| airtonix | najsowy, edit connections in network-manager, and edit the eth0 entry in question. | 13:37 |

| yohannbzh | Hello. When we close a terminal in which we have run some things, it closes them. Is there a way to list all the process we have run from this terminal? | 13:37 |
| edi_99 | omac, arand: almost there... but another warning appeared: http://paste.ubuntu.com/427624/ | 13:37 |
| jken146 | yohannbzh: screen | 13:37 |
| zultell | i agree with twiz | 13:37 |
| darrend | ActionParsnip: yes, that works. Thanks. | 13:37 |
| airtonix | najsowy, click the ipv4 tab then click the routes button at the bottom | 13:37 |
| llutz | yohannbzh: screen nohup | 13:37 |
| zultell | ok i try | 13:37 |
| geekphreak | cpp_: nope | 13:37 |
| twiztid | yohannbzh: in terminal type, 'top' | 13:37 |
| airtonix | najsowy, tick 'ignore automatically obtained routes' | 13:38 |
| jken146 | yohannbzh: oh, sorry, different question than what I thought you asked! | 13:38 |
| ActionParsnip | darrend: amazing what the official documentation freely available online can tell you says, isnt it | 13:38 |

| Dr_Willis | yohannbzh: run somthing with '&' at the end.. and use the 'exit' command - do NOT just hit the terminals close button | 13:38 |
| cpp_ | geekphreak: its really annoying ...just open Impress ... make one slide....and press F5, for vieweing Slide-show ...see what happens :-) | 13:38 |
| erUSUL | yohannbzh: find ot the pid of the shell then search for that pid on the ppid of the rest of process | 13:38 |
| Dr_Willis | yohannbzh: asio check out the 'nohup' command and docs on bash job controll. | 13:38 |
| omac | edi_99: you need to compile the lib with the sources...which means you might need to get the dependencies for libstdc++ 5. | 13:38 |
| airtonix | najsowy, ugh the wording of those two tick boxes is bad..i forget what they both do and if you need both ticked for your LAN only interface. | 13:39 |
| Dr_Willis | yohannbzh: and check out the ps command. | 13:39 |
| arand | edi_99: Possibly those are old functions, which are in 5 but not in 6, and you'll have to get hold of 5 now anyways instead | 13:39 |
| najsowy | airtonix, "najsowy, tick 'ignore automatically obtained routes'" i haven't. It's Ubuntu 9.10. Show you images of setting i have? | 13:39 |
| kgrandis | can anyone recommend a top tier managed hosting provider that supports ubuntu? | 13:39 |
| JdGordon | has anyone else had troubles with autofs and cifs after upgrading to 10.4? | 13:39 |
| airtonix | najsowy, but i do know they prevent an interface from becoming your default route outside of the lan | 13:39 |
| airtonix | najsowy, i have 9.10 here too and i have those tick boxes | 13:39 |
| gaivota | btw I released XMoto 0.5.3 a few days ago. is there sb who actualized the packages? | 13:40 |
| edi_99 | omac: how do I get the dependencies, apt and search for libstdc++ 5? | 13:40 |
| omac | edi_99: `GLIBCPP_3.2' and `CXXABI_1.2'...seem to be other lib dev sources you're going to need to compile and link. | 13:40 |
| airtonix | najsowy, give screenshot anyway though | 13:40 |
| najsowy | airtonix, wait. eth0 -> settings -> Ipv4 setting | 13:40 |
| Jaelae | kgrandis - most of the big ones seem to only do red hat and centos. You could try to find one that will let you install your own distro | 13:40 |

| ActionParsnip | dakira: if you uninstall ubuntuone it should | 13:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dakira: proberly is - but im not sure what package name would remove it. | 13:41 |
| kgrandis | Jaelae: yeah that's what we've found as well. We can do dedicated/unmanaged, but yeah I'm waiting for managed ubuntu. | 13:41 |
| omac | in other words you need backports source as a line in your repository list. | 13:41 |
| ActionParsnip | dakira: depends if you use ubuntuone | 13:41 |
| omac | edi_99:go to synaptic and make sure you have backports as one of your repos. | 13:41 |
| edi_99 | omac: would this do: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libstdc++5/download | 13:42 |
| najsowy | airtonix, select "ignore automatically routes" (or something, Im polish :D ) or "Using the same connection for this network" (or somethin' like this )? | 13:42 |
| omac | edi_99: backports source | 13:42 |

| tdn | I just choose to Upgrade to 10.04 LTS, when the upgrade notification appeared. Now it has been hanging still on the same line for several hours: Preparing to replace portmap 6.0-10ubuntu2 (using .../portmap_6.0.0-1ubuntu2_i386.deb) ... | 14:01 |
| ascheel | tdn: it is safe to click the 'cancel' button and start it over if that's you're concern. | 14:01 |
| tdn | It is 53% done, ETA 31 minutes. But nothing happens. Is there any way I can see what is going on? | 14:02 |
| tdn | ascheel, it is? | 14:02 |
| tdn | ascheel, how can I be sure? | 14:02 |
| enter_name | ActionParsnip: its not turning up anywhere, thanks anyway tho | 14:02 |
| tdn | ascheel, because that is my concern. | 14:02 |

| jrib | tachiro: I believe compiz ccsm has some keybinding facility. Otherwise, use gconf-editor or xbindkeys | 14:05 |
| tdn | Mcl0vin, why would you extract it? | 14:05 |
| tdn | Mcl0vin, the iso should be burned to a dvd. | 14:05 |
| Mcl0vin | i don't have a 7GB dvd | 14:05 |
| jrib | Mcl0vin: how are you "extracting" it? | 14:06 |
| tdn | Mcl0vin, then download the CDROM iso instead? | 14:06 |

| * chid_ loves his guis :) | 14:06 | |

| tdn | Mcl0vin, or make a bootable USB? | 14:06 |
| omac | duffydack: that's a good observation. I'm also confused by the difference between "unmount" and "safely remove drive". Shouldn't both of these be the same? | 14:06 |

| Brae | is it possible to setup software raid on ubuntu 10.04 desktop? | 14:06 |
| chid_ | Brae: sure it must be possible | 14:06 |
| * chid_ just installed 9.04 | 14:07 | |
| Brae | any ideas? | 14:07 |
| duffydack | omac, there used to be an umount as well, in karmic and also in a beta1 install of lucid which is kept upto date.. yet a fresh install of lucid does not give the option | 14:07 |
| fdrake | omac: unmount is a per-filesystem operation, and safely-remove is a per-device operation (possibly multiple mounted filesystems). | 14:07 |
| chid_ | there's a RAID howto on tldp | 14:07 |
| duffydack | omac, fdrake all I wanna do is unmount the fs, not remove the whole device. | 14:07 |
| Pici | tdn: Are their nfs mounts mounted and in-use at the moment? | 14:07 |
| duffydack | omac, fdrake I guess I`ll make do with terminal umount /media/whatever | 14:08 |
| Qwerty_Poliku | I have a problem with my new Ubuntu 10.04 install. Everytime I start up the theme changes to "Clearlooks". I can change most of it back but open folder windows remain in that theme. | 14:08 |
| fdrake | duffydack: That would do. I don't use a lot of the GUI stuff for that myself. | 14:08 |
| tdn | Pici, not in use at this moment, but there are unused nfs mounts. | 14:08 |
| jrib | Qwerty_Poliku: can you reproduce the behavior with a freshly created new user? | 14:08 |
| tdn | Pici, no nfs is mounted though. | 14:09 |
| Qwerty_Poliku | I have no tried yet. I will go do that. | 14:09 |

| === Qwerty_Poliku is now known as Qwerty | ||

| chid_ | 1 | 14:10 |
| fdrake | omac: Perhaps, though that doesn't address the device-disconnection aspect of safely-remove. | 14:10 |
| Pici | tdn: is portmap running currently? | 14:10 |
| dakira | jure64: just a sec.. I know what you mean.. | 14:10 |
| === frostschutz_ is now known as frostschutz | ||
| tdn | Pici, yes. | 14:11 |
| omac | fdrake: yeah, I'm a terminal user too, I just use mount, sync, sync and umount too. | 14:11 |
| tdn | Pici, should I kill -9 it? | 14:11 |
| Pici | tdn: Try it | 14:11 |
| dakira | jure64: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false | 14:11 |
| Brae | the only tuts for raid are how to do it for command line while installing server, i need to do it for desktop | 14:11 |
| duffydack | omac, fdrake for me, safely remove turns off the device, stops power to it, while eject just umounts it while still being given power , but is still not available to the system anymore via /dev/sdX | 14:11 |
| omac | The "unmount/safely remove drive" has been confusing for me, but you just clarified it. Thanks. | 14:11 |
| NightTail | hmm i was wondering if there was a way to boost ram for linux but using a usb device as a set of ram? | 14:11 |

| Pici | tdn: weird, but good | 14:12 |
| tdn | Pici, I was not sure if it was safe to just kill it. | 14:12 |
| duffydack | omac, fdrake, There is no Unmount option anymore, while there is for the beta1 updated lucid... Odd. | 14:12 |
| dakira | jure64: this gives you back the old behavior of the update-manager. configure the rest in the software settings (e.g. if you want them to be installed automatically) | 14:12 |
| rambo3 | I dislike hindus , that is all | 14:12 |
| jure64 | dakira, there's a file in /etc, i think, which you need to uncomment a line to unlock full auto-update capability | 14:13 |
| fdrake | duffydack: That's unfortunate; there should be an eject option for all filesystems, IMO. | 14:13 |
| omac | All in all, 10.04 is snappier than the 9.10 and I thought that couldn't be beaten. Congrats. Ubuntu and Linux devs are amazing! | 14:14 |

| duffydack | fdrake, just trying to 'get onboard' with telepathy :) | 14:16 |
| jrib | Brae: no they aren't. You need to actually read them. From the first link: If you're building a desktop then you need the "Alternate" install CD for Ubuntu. | 14:16 |
| dakira | jure64: nope.. what I wrote does it. Change the gconf setting and enable autoupdate in the settings. works for me. | 14:17 |

| temon | I try vlc but I cant choose the menu.. | 14:21 |
| NightTail | hmm i was wondering if there was a way to boost ram for linux by using a usb thumbdrive as a set of ram? | 14:21 |
| jrib | Brae: depends on what you want to do I guess. Most things are easy, and when they aren't it's usually a matter of spending 5 minutes reading some documentation | 14:22 |
| temon | dvd menu... | 14:22 |
| fdrake | omac: Thanks! I'll try that. | 14:22 |
| myxomatosis | NightTail: you could use it as swap, but that would probably wind up slowing you down alot | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis | temon: odd. I use vlc to play dvd iso files all the time | 14:22 |

| jrib | frostschutz: well [A-Z]* means a letter between A-Z followed by anything | 14:44 |
| MacB | nomodset? Err... Where should I put that? I mean I get no input before it freezes | 14:44 |
| Segfault | MacB: sorry nomodeset | 14:44 |
| patdk-wk | jrib, no it doesn't | 14:44 |
| frostschutz | ah, LC_COLLATE=C does it... | 14:44 |
| acicula | MacB, hold shift during boot, you get a menu | 14:44 |
| MacB | How do I add the boot options? | 14:44 |
| MacB | AIght | 14:44 |
| jrib | patdk-wk: I believe it does. What do you think it does? | 14:44 |
| MacB | ANd just nomodeset | 14:44 |
| patdk-wk | it means an upper case letter from 0 to inf | 14:44 |
| MacB | Anything else I should consider? | 14:45 |
| frostschutz | thanks | 14:45 |
| Segfault | MacB: That will almost certainly cure the issue. I've seen it a few times now. | 14:45 |
| MacB | k, luvya, be back here and whining in like 2min if it doesn't ;D | 14:45 |
| sirninja | Segfault:Did you figure out what config file I need to poke around in? | 14:45 |
| acicula | there a re a few lines, use arrows to move, e to edit a line, look for the one that says kernel and just add it | 14:45 |
| MacB | And oh yeh, can Ubuntu install just create a grub bootloader or what ever on a mac just as easily as it knows what to do on a "PC"? | 14:45 |
| kim__ | is there any function like ctrl-alt-del in ubuntu10.04? | 14:45 |
| jrib | frostschutz: easiest way imo is to just use find | 14:45 |
| jrib | kim__: why? | 14:46 |
| Segfault | sirninja: Still looking for it. Seems to be the one you mentioned. Unless its a different issue. | 14:46 |
| Segfault | MacB: yup | 14:46 |
| MacB | k :) | 14:46 |
| airtonix | MacB, "" <MacB> Argh... Yet again proving my point "" this is bordering on trollbait... | 14:46 |
| Segfault | MacB: Its all the same hardware | 14:46 |
| kim__ | jrib: some times the system freezes.. Can move the mouse, but cant click on anything.. | 14:46 |
| MacB | airtonix, ye I know, but did get peoples attention :P | 14:46 |
| jrib | kim__: you can get to a tty with ctrl-alt-f1 | 14:46 |
| MacB | And the last Ubuntu was my first one I've missed since starting with Ubuntu on Breezy (back then as just a toying around one) and now been living only with my laptop abroad for quite some time, and just haven't had the time to fight this through | 14:47 |
| airtonix | MacB, yes and i understand you might be frustrated and i also understand you realise that the laptop manufacturer itself is not totally without cause here. | 14:47 |
| dmg | #ruby | 14:47 |
| MacB | airtonix, definitely not! | 14:47 |
| airtonix | MacB, so last one you tried on this laptop was breezy ? | 14:48 |
| MacB | I mean Ubuntu already supports way more than I could have guessed from just a few years back | 14:48 |
| MacB | Not on this laptop | 14:48 |
| MacB | This laptop is quite new and only has got OSX on it | 14:48 |
| econdude | howdy. When I press ctrl-alt-f#, I bring up a terminal (good thing!) but don't know how to exit from said terminal without a restart (bad thing!). What is the secret? | 14:48 |
| Segfault | sirninja: You modified the alsa-base.conf file? | 14:48 |
| ChogyDan | !tty | econdude | 14:48 |
| ubottu | econdude: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 14:48 |
| sirninja | Segfault: yes | 14:48 |
| MacB | On my main comp (back home, far far away) I've been running Ubuntus forever :P | 14:48 |
| airtonix | MacB, ok. i understand that the macs have something called EFI on them which does the job of a bios... i dont know much about it do you ? | 14:48 |
| econdude | !tty | 14:48 |
| MacB | Yup | 14:49 |
| MacB | Aware of that | 14:49 |
| p1und3r | hey anyone get forced to check disk and just hang there forever? | 14:49 |
| econdude | ChogyDan Thanks much | 14:49 |
| radhika | I am thinking of switching to arch linux, coz of the lighter interface.. any reasons why I should stick to ubuntu? | 14:49 |
| Segfault | sirninja: Well, I'm not sure honestly. Did you restart alsa after? | 14:49 |
| airtonix | MacB, where does it live on the hard-drive ? | 14:49 |
| MacB | And well, if this isn't working in some time, I'm off to the hackerspace here in Vienna to ask for some livehelp there :) | 14:49 |
| sirninja | Segfault: yeah. I'll try again though | 14:49 |
| MacB | airtonix, the "bios" thing? | 14:49 |
| guntbert | !ot | radhika | 14:49 |
| ubottu | radhika: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:49 |
| Segfault | radhika: Xubuntu is great if you need something lighter. | 14:49 |
| MacB | Not completely sure, haven't actually had to play around with that ever... | 14:49 |
| airtonix | MacB, yeah | 14:49 |
| radhika | alright | 14:49 |
| MacB | airtonix, I suggest wikipedia/google ;) | 14:50 |
| MacB | Sorry for the answer, but I have no clue | 14:50 |
| p1und3r | is there a way i can skip this force check that doesnt end in 10.04? | 14:50 |
| MacB | I would hope not on the HDD but on the mobo or smthn... | 14:50 |
| jrib | patdk-wk: not in bash | 14:50 |
| MacB | But, gonna try jamming shift down at startup and writing nomodeset ;) | 14:50 |

| Segfault | datacrusher: Its not displaying an icon uptop? | 14:56 |
| onetinsoldier | jaclinuxhelp: that's probably not the right version of the package for your ubuntu installation is my frist thought | 14:56 |

| airtonix | jaclinuxhelp, i know it might not help much at this point but i would recommend that you' | 15:01 |
| jaclinuxhelp | how can i boot in runlevel 3? i ve upgraded, and not my machine gets stuck on GDM, no mouse movement, no keyboard reaction... | 15:01 |

| ubottu | outer_space: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 15:01 |
| sz0 | outer_space: it's called downgrade | 15:01 |
| airtonix | jaclinuxhelp, that your future installations of linux have their / on one partition and the /home on another | 15:01 |
| rdg | anyone have any thoughts on why Ubuntu keeps asking me to grant/reject access to my bluetooth mouse? | 15:01 |
| jrib | jaclinuxhelp: select "recovery mode" from the grub menu | 15:01 |
| outer_space | i just want to roll back the update that just killed my ethernet | 15:01 |
| jaclinuxhelp | jrib, where is the grub menu | 15:01 |
| outer_space | or fix the ethernet | 15:01 |
| jrib | jaclinuxhelp: hold shift while booting | 15:02 |
| charley | hi, I'm wondering how I 'increase output speed' for console programs | 15:02 |
| lucida_ | airtonix, why is it useful to have home in its own partition? | 15:02 |
| charley | it seems like after increasing the resolution of the console things move slower | 15:02 |
| rdg | frame buffer is slower than the general graphics modes | 15:02 |
| sz0 | charley: you can change your terminal at bare minimum | 15:02 |
| incorrect | after upgrading my laptop my nvidia binary drive has stopped working, the hardware detect tool doesn't seem to be able to locate my nvidia card, i don't think i have all the packages required, can anyone tell me which ones i need on my system? | 15:02 |
| charley | sz0: how do I do that | 15:02 |
| ChogyDan | charley: I like to pipe the output to a text file | 15:02 |
| airtonix | lucida_, because when you want to reinstall the operating system (new or same version) you only need to overwrite the system partition and tell the partitioing stage of the installer to mount your /home partition as the mountpoint /home | 15:02 |
| charley | or increase frame buffer | 15:02 |
| charley | ChogyDan: too much typing for every command | 15:03 |
| charley | and irssi for example | 15:03 |
| outer_space | is anyone else having their eth0 killed by a lucid update this morning? | 15:03 |
| charley | takes ages to load the nicklist ; | 15:03 |
| airtonix | lucida_, clean install is much better than dist-upgrade | 15:03 |
| charley | also, I'm wondering how I configure apt-get | 15:03 |
| User123 | how come I cannot send any messages in channel #screen? | 15:03 |
| charley | it seems like some program is always running after I run apt-get install | 15:03 |
| onetinsoldier | i never upgrade myself. i always install new os clean | 15:03 |
| sz0 | charley: are you using X11 or teletype? | 15:03 |
| charley | sz0: x11 | 15:04 |
| charley | I think | 15:04 |
| jaclinuxhelp | my X always boots without keyboard or access reaction | 15:04 |
| lucida_ | airtonix, I got your point but I can also copy the /home and cp it again back but yours is a bit easier ;) | 15:04 |
| charley | jaclinuxhelp: I'm sure you canchange that | 15:04 |
| zenta | hello all, any body know how to install lilo ? | 15:04 |

| rdg | can anyone tell me where this magical bluetooth access list is that's blocking my mouse? | 15:04 |
| sz0 | charley: then check other terminals like rxvt, they could be faster than xterm and maybe gnome-terminal or what ever you use | 15:04 |
| charley | oh | 15:04 |
| MacB | Hi again :) | 15:04 |

| MacB | I can't say I don't have "any" input, but I basically don't have any input... | 15:05 |
| charley | yeah, I got confused | 15:05 |

| charley | then realised tty = teletype | 15:05 |

| bluespark | airtonix: I will check...just a moment | 15:06 |
| airtonix | bluespark, it's something you should include in your intial request for help | 15:06 |
| MacB | Also tried with a USB Logitech KB which wasn't found either, I think, or well, went to the same thing.... | 15:06 |
| MacB | Recognized the shift key but nothing else... | 15:07 |
| charley | hmm okay sz0 | 15:07 |

| krishnaLahoti | ubuntu 10.04 rocks!!!! | 15:07 |
| MacB | ChogyDan, until "load boot options y/n: y" | 15:07 |
| airtonix | sz0, question: from your description it sounds like you're not using the usb-boot-disk app ? | 15:07 |
| sz0 | airtonix: i don't have it | 15:07 |
| incorrect | ah there we go | 15:07 |
| ChogyDan | MacB: was that every time? | 15:07 |
| MacB | I have no input at all so that's as far as I can get it | 15:07 |
| * charley can't find any documentation | 15:08 | |
| MacB | Well, if I dont' jam the shift key down I get right past the boot screen | 15:08 |

| datroubler | hello i cant use me microphon sins 10.4 | 15:10 |
| sz0 | charley: oh. then acpi is the way to go i think. but i don't have any idea actually. | 15:10 |

| dhilip | hi.. i have a problem while installing ubuntu 10.04 | 15:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Ubatroal: well, distro's are always a personal preference thing. years and years ago, i started with red hat. then along came apt-get for debian, and that was it. i've used debian/ubuntu ever since | 15:10 |
| mbruins | hi, i installed ubuntu but my dvd writer doesnt get reconized by any burning applications. any suggestion? | 15:10 |
| === carlos is now known as Guest40065 | ||
| charley | sz0: can't find it in acpi | 15:11 |
| NightTail | bah | 15:11 |
| === Guest40065 is now known as car|0s | ||
| ChogyDan | MacB: well, I would try that. Then you can edit the grub config to just always show the boot menu. | 15:11 |
| MacB | ChogyDan, even if I was to get it that far, I would definitely not have the balls to do a CL install while trying to keep dual boot! :D | 15:11 |
| sz0 | airtonix: i just need where the installer wants to read CD-ROM files from and point that place to /cdrom | 15:11 |
| NightTail | alright i am guessing my system has a failsafe in it that causes it to restart in linux when it gets to hot. I need to disable it | 15:11 |
| Wulfy | NightTail, id suggest sorting your heat issues first | 15:11 |
| Hariharakadan | Hello, how do you get the Xbox 360 (wired) controller to work in Ubuntu 10.04? The only FAQ for this is outdated and leads to files that no longer exist anymore. | 15:11 |
| ChogyDan | MacB: ah, are you just booting the livecd? | 15:11 |
| MacB | Yes | 15:12 |
| datroubler | hello i cant use me microphon since 10.4 | 15:12 |
| Wulfy | NightTail, as thermal shutdown is around 90 degrees if its running that hot i susspect you have a colling issue | 15:12 |
| MacB | Trying to get it to install.... :/ | 15:12 |
| Wulfy | cooling^ | 15:12 |
| radhika | songbird or bashee? | 15:12 |
| MacB | Sorry, I was here just like 5 min ago, should have abviously mentioned that again this time when joining | 15:12 |
| NightTail | no its the laptop its known for heating up badly | 15:12 |
| NightTail | i have cooling fans and everything else on it | 15:12 |
| Wulfy | NightTail, indeed but if thermal shutdown is kicking in evidently there is a series problem | 15:13 |
| Wulfy | you duel booting NightTail ? | 15:13 |
| mbruins | i installed ubuntu but my dvd writer doesnt get reconized by any burning applications. any suggestion? | 15:13 |

| jon_ | hello @all. I have an asus laptop and tried to install ubuntu 10.04 now the fourth time. It always stoppes after the loading screen and a gray box appears. nothing happens. I already checked the checksum and tried cd, dvd and usb stick. can't find anything in the internet | 15:13 |
| datacrusher | what have i missed? | 15:13 |
| airtonix | sz0, sorry i have no idea how to manually do what unetbootin does | 15:14 |

| onetinsoldier | well airtonix, i don't think Ubatroal will be considering switching to Ubuntu for the time being. you scared him off | 15:14 |

| datroubler | hello i cant use me microphon since 10.4 | 15:15 |
| mbruins | i get no media found in any burning program. any suggestions? | 15:15 |
| MacB | Well, worst case scenario, might end up having to repartition some things to get this stuff to work properly... | 15:15 |
| onetinsoldier | airtonix: perhaps. you could very well be onto something there | 15:15 |
| datacrusher | ChogyDan, i rebooted, on an older kernel and all worked | 15:16 |
| onetinsoldier | airtonix: have to admit, i wondered about that a a little myself | 15:16 |
| === emil is now known as Guest31479 | ||

| Phantom_Hoover | OK, so my computer has started crashing when I try to use some games; it says that the GPU is hung. This did not happen in Karmic, under the exact same circumstances. lspci says that my display controller is "Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)"; the VGA compatible controller is the same | 15:20 |
| onetinsoldier | EzeQL: no would be the answer to your last question i believe.. if i understand it correctly | 15:21 |
| sz0 | airtonix: i remembered this way just works only with alternate version installation discs. i am trying the kubuntu netbook version! which is probably the same with desktop version and cannot be counted as an alternate version. so no luck for me. i need to use one of those tools. sad but true. :) | 15:21 |
| tachiro | oh i forgot to put it in the form of a question, is there a way to restart individual programs maybe from terminal? | 15:21 |
| onetinsoldier | tachiro: yes. with the kill command.... man kill | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | tachiro, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start , if your desktop is frozen | 15:21 |
| datroubler | hello i cant use me microphon since 10.4 | 15:22 |

| EzeQL | i dont have a idea of what update-rc.d is | 15:24 |
| airtonix | sz0, ok i assume there is a reason why you are not using unetbootin or the ubuntu usb boot disk creator | 15:24 |
| outer_space | I have to work on an eeepc today if I cant undo this update that broke my ethernet :( | 15:24 |
| EzeQL | :) , newbie here. | 15:24 |

| onetinsoldier | EzeQL: that's why you read the manual for it | 15:24 |

I've tried noapic and vga=258 (since 771 didn't work) and always get the same results. Any ideas? | 15:35 |
| vagvaf | do u know where can i find the 'examples' folder that is on the desktop of the live cd ? | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | durus, the reason i asked about irssi is perhaps you were on a tty as some purists tend to do , hence that question | 15:35 |
| guest42420 | marinus: You're talking about soundjuicer, but there are no mp3 libraries. apparently i have to install LAME, but I can't download from the ubuntu repository and can't figure out what to do. this is so freaking frustrating | 15:35 |
| StuckMojo | term_oldcomp1: you could disable starting of all system services you don't need | 15:35 |
| airtonix | durus, your other option is to use dbus-send to carft a signal which causes pulseaudio to reply via dbus with the desired data you want | 15:36 |
| Pici | tdn: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/portmap/+bug/503234 looks like it could be a similar issue, although yours isn't getting to the point where it gives you an error. | 15:36 |

| airtonix | term_oldcomp1, there is no gui to configure system level daemons for gnome. only commands that run after login. | 15:39 |

| airtonix | durus, you can use pactl to set the volume i believe. | 15:40 |
| Phantom_Hoover | OK, so my computer has started crashing when I try to use some games; it says that the GPU is hung.

| airtonix | durus, i assume you want to return the volume to what it was before you lowered it ? | 15:40 |

| term_oldcomp1 | ? service --status-all under command line lists services but I'm confused. are the ones running the ones showing a ? mark on list? | 15:44 |

| term_oldcomp1 | Phantom_Hoover: might be a buggy video driver. thought I saw something about it on the ubuntu forum @ 1 point | 15:48 |
| kahen | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tircd/+bugs could stand to have a bug opened against it saying that it's _massively_ out of date. 0.10 is out O_o | 15:48 |
| skeebo | So I use preload, if your not familiar with the program, it is a read-ahead daemon that analyzes the applications I run, then based off the analysis it preloads those applications into ram. I've been using it for quite awhile, so it has saved a lot of information about applications I'm running. My question though, is if there is a way to "back-up" all of this information about the my "application use" in order use it on a "fresh install | 15:48 |
| skeebo | "? | 15:48 |
| Phantom_Hoover | term_oldcomp1: What did they do there? | 15:48 |
| guest42420 | AHA! To rip a CD to MP3 and all I had to do is install ubuntu-restricted-extras. I can't believe this isn't standard, considering how basic and standard MP3 is today. Canonical really pisses me off sometimes. Not a good experience for newbs like me. | 15:48 |
| IdleOne | guest42420: try asunder. I just tried it and it is extremely easy to use | 15:48 |
| Pici | kahen: File a bug against it then. | 15:48 |

| term_oldcomp1 | Phantom_Hoover: supposedly bug under 10.04. try to go back to 9.10 | 15:48 |
| IdleOne | guest42420: it is available in Synaptic Package Manager | 15:48 |
| IdleOne | guest42420: soundjuicer is good also | 15:49 |
| guest42420 | idleone: i can use soundjuicer now that i've installed ubuntu-restricted-extras | 15:49 |
| sipior | guest42420: it's a licencing issue. making it standard would involve certain legal complications. | 15:49 |
| Phantom_Hoover | term_oldcomp1: I doubt that that's possible without reinstallation. | 15:49 |
| rubbs | anyone here having trouble with an atheros AR8132 card and know how to fix it? I'm running 64bit 10.04. | 15:49 |
| guest42420 | to sipior & idleone: thanks for your help... the solution ended up being pretty easy after all, even though i spent like 2 hours trying to get it to work | 15:49 |
| airtonix | durus, i just did some research about pulse and dbus, it seems there is not a way (yet) for dbus to read or write pulse properties. | 15:50 |
| term_oldcomp1 | Phantom_Hoover: nope. or sadly wait until a bug fix comes out. I know they were saying something about the system misdetecting which gpu is installed | 15:50 |
| IdleOne | guest42420: just need to ask and have some patience :) | 15:50 |

| Schnitz | hi all, how can i minimize ubuntu to the notification area (like empathy). i can't imagine that this shouldn't be possible. why it's not??? | 16:45 |
| mohawkboi | term_oldcomp1 You wouldn't happen to know of any one that knows anything about USB HID device settings with Force Feedback. I used a program (Key Touch) to add the extra media buttons in my keyboard and make them work. I have emailed the people that make the programe to see if their is one available for steering wheels. I have searched all the forums I can for Wine, Logitech, Ubuntu and just about everything else I can think of and can't find such a | 16:45 |
| mohawkboi | programe anywhere... | 16:45 |
| Sputnik | hello | 16:45 |
| Flare183 | Schnitz: what? you can't minimize Ubuntu to the system tray, Ubuntu is an operating system | 16:45 |
| uLinux | lol | 16:45 |
| underdev | Schnitz: ubuntu is the operating system. not sure what you mena | 16:45 |
| underdev | mean | 16:45 |
| term_oldcomp1 | mohawkboi: no idea on that one. I got a force feedback joystick and flight controller though I only use them in windows sadly | 16:46 |
| Schnitz | sorry | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !info alltray | 16:46 |
| Schnitz | my bad. i mean how can i minimize evolution. i'm doing too many things at the same time.... | 16:46 |
| MattCubuntunoob | anybody have any ideas? | 16:46 |
| ubottu | alltray (source: alltray): Dock any program into the system tray. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.69-1ubuntu4 (lucid), package size 58 kB, installed size 256 kB | 16:46 |
| ge_ro | kjele_: he tells me something about defect dependencies | 16:46 |
| MattCubuntunoob | oh! I have lucid btw | 16:46 |
| Flare183 | Dr_Willis: that's what Schnitz needs | 16:46 |
| kjele_ | ge_ro: We just have to remove it manually then | 16:47 |
| underdev | Schnitz: yeah, i'd try alltray, but your mileage may very | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Flare183: i dont know why the normal min buttin dosent work for him. :) or he could use virtualdesktops | 16:47 |
| Schnitz | alltray is _not_ what i want | 16:47 |
| ge_ro | kjele_: ok, great ;D | 16:47 |
| underdev | not everything works swimmingly with alltray | 16:47 |
| kjele_ | ge_ro: Go to /var/lib/dpkg/info | 16:47 |
| mohawkboi | term_oldcomp1 thanks anyway. I was going to dual boot just for my games but have decided to try to fix it in Ubuntu. | 16:47 |
| Flare183 | Dr_Willis: I understand what your saying | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Schnitz: we dont really know what you want then. | 16:47 |
| Trezker | tried a game at onmorelevel.com, also hangs at exit | 16:47 |
| term_oldcomp1 | mohawkboi: hmm... is it a g25? | 16:47 |

| sebsebseb | doug_: ok Amarok | 17:07 |
| * theGman would really like to give ubuntu a fair go... | 17:07 | |
| bondiblueos9 | sebsebseb: I'm trying to fix my already installed system | 17:07 |
| sebsebseb | doug_: I am expereinced Desktop Linux user since 2004, I have never liked Amarok much, and never understood what the big deal is about it. Anyway you in Ubuntu/Gnome or Kubuntu/KDE ? | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | iceroot: ubuntu uses grub2, other disrtos may use grub1. You should boot a live cd, and 'chroot' into the installed system after setting up all directorie and /dev/ and /proc/ and perhaps other locations properly. | 17:07 |
| bondiblueos9 | sebsebseb: and I have the 9.10 desktop live cd handy | 17:07 |

| doleyb_ | theGman: what ubuntu version did you get? | 17:07 |
| sebsebseb | bondiblueos9: I see, well 10.04 is latest version etc | 17:07 |

| sebsebseb | bondiblueos9: sure you can use your 9.10 Live CD to fix your 9.10 install | 17:08 |
| theGman | doleyb_: It's a prod env so aplha isn't an option. | 17:08 |
| doug_ | sebsebseb: maybe you know a better mp3 player for my system? | 17:08 |
| sebsebseb | bondiblueos9: and can use it to fix a 10.04 install | 17:08 |
| ge_ro | kjele_: but there was a whole bunch of packages still not updated | 17:08 |

| kjele_ | ge_ro: And the file /etc/apt/source.list does it point to lucid too? | 17:09 |

| Anix | is bluez working or not? its not leting me to pair my phone. | 17:09 |
| doug_ | sebsebseb: yes, a last.fm plugin to play my personal radio station of last.fm | 17:09 |

| sebsebseb | doug_: I mean I can scrobble music | 17:09 |
| sebsebseb | doug_: ,but on this distro not Ubuntu, the stations don't work. also I think it was like this in 9.10 don't remember | 17:10 |
| sebner | Diverdude: ? | 17:10 |
| kjele_ | ge_ro: it is sources.list | 17:10 |
| sergiu14 | is there a command in ubuntu like fedora's debuginfo-install? | 17:10 |
| sebsebseb | doug_: anyway give the default Rythombox a try for last.fm or install Banshee | 17:10 |
| doug_ | sebsebseb: ok, i will try the rythmbox :-( | 17:10 |
| sebsebseb | doug_: why :( Rythombox is pretty good | 17:10 |

| sebsebseb | shashwatpn: by playing around with Grub 2 config which won't be much fun at all | 17:12 |
| kjele_ | ge_ro: Ok. I suggest you use the update-manager to update | 17:12 |
| sebsebseb | shashwatpn: with the old Grub, graphical can be done, or just un comment pretty colours, and got a nice colour background and such | 17:12 |
| ge_ro | kjele_: yes i did | 17:12 |
| doug_ | sebsebseb: other people told me that Rythmbox sucks very much :p so i deciced to use amarok...and i didnt have any probs with ubuntu 9.04 but now i cant login .... | 17:12 |

| ge_ro | kjele_: i hope it will not abort again^^ | 17:14 |
| doug_ | sebsebseb: ok, i wil give it a try | 17:14 |
| sebsebseb | Diverdude: depends on the user, and Pidgin was the default instant messaging program in Ubuntu untill 9.10 | 17:14 |
| kjele_ | ge_ro: Is that what you did last time? | 17:14 |
| ojii | I use karmic and ubuntu one tells me my files are up to date but there's a whole folder missing (which is on one.ubuntu.com tho), does anyone know how i can tell it to actually sync it? | 17:14 |

| ubottu | Diverdude: 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. | 17:15 |

Last night I have upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, despite my fears, using sudo do-release-upgrade. there were a few errors, but in general it looked good (took about 4 hours, so I wasn't watching the screen all the time). After a restart, my computer will not boot any more. at all. | 17:18 |
| UbuntuLily | How do I dump the output to a text file? dmesg >textfile.txt ? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | sergiu14 | 17:18 |
| ubottu | sergiu14: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 17:18 |
| theGman | Ok, thanks anyway all...guess I go bow away my ubuntu and put something else on instead... Would have been great to give it a go but...since wifi isn't working and wired is not an opt...I have no choice...(am in win7 atm UGH!) | 17:18 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: How did you upgrade from 8.10 to 10.04? Did you go through 9.04 and 9.10 first, like you are meant to? | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuntuLily: the messages of imporntance should be at the end. | 17:18 |
| theadmin | UbuntuLily: Yup | 17:18 |
| theGman | bow -> now | 17:18 |
| sergiu14 | apt doesn't download the source package in .deb format.. | 17:18 |
| natrixnatrix89 | so I guess no one is using ooffice here.. | 17:19 |

| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: Many people are, huh. I am. | 17:19 |
| peleg | sebsebseb: no, both are LTS, so I can upgrade directly. | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | sergiu14: read up on the apt manual/guides. the 'build-dep' command to apt-get may be whata you want. | 17:19 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: 8.10 is not a LTS, so you meant 8.04? | 17:19 |
| doug_ | kjele_: thx :-) | 17:19 |
| peleg | sebsebseb: I wrote 8.04 | 17:19 |

| sergiu14 | apt-get source doesn't get a .deb.. so its useless | 17:20 |
| sebsebseb | theadmin: indeed sadly | 17:20 |
| kachnik | shogun_, wellcome to the club :) | 17:20 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: Nope, they dissappear | 17:20 |

| zniavre_ | there is a way to install nvidia.run from nvidia website? | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: well you could mess around trying to get it so you can boot it up properly again, or you could get hold of data put live CD in access the partition move data some where else for example. Clean install Ubuntu with 10.04 and whilst doing so, get the Ext4 file system and Grub 2 by default. | 17:21 |
| natrixnatrix89 | theadmin: thanks. I guess ill just have to reboot. That often solves things. | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuntuLily: not sure what to do then. You could reboot the box i guess. You may want to check the filesystem of the deivice afterwards. | 17:21 |
| theadmin | natrixnatrix89: On windows maybe :/ | 17:21 |
| madjoe | how can I delete old version of kernel in my Karmic? during the boot I've got multiple options/instances of Ubuntu.. | 17:21 |
| Dr_Willis | zniavre_: its best to use the drivers from the repos. Not the ones from nvidia.com | 17:21 |
| ny00123 | EzeQL and om26er, I guess that "cat"? | 17:21 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: or do something that isn't default, but set up a seperate /home before you install, assuming you don't already have one, which can be rather useful, if you ever need to clean install Ubuntu, or want to distro change | 17:21 |
| chavez | howdy. why is there no IRC protocol in the accounts dropdown for Empathy? | 17:21 |
| zniavre_ | Dr_Willis, i understand this point and agree but why they are uninstalable? | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | zniavre_: dkms/kernel/version issues | 17:22 |
| peleg | sebsebseb: how can I "mess around"? I am in this weird shell, where most of the commands I know are just not there. I can't see my home directory there, I don't have vim, etc. | 17:22 |
| om26er | chavez, check if telepathy-idle is installed.. | 17:22 |
| Dr_Willis | zniavre_: you 'can' instgall them.. but you can also break things badly | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: ok so it messed up a lot | 17:22 |
| chavez | om26er, it is AFAIK | 17:22 |

| natrixnatrix89 | theadmin: do you mean theres no way for me to make both panels disappear during presentation? | 17:22 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: I meant mess around spending time trying to fix it, rather than just clean installing | 17:22 |
| ny00123 | if I understand that correctly, at least | 17:22 |
| theadmin | netbook: Problem is that Brasero is friggin' buggy. Use gnomebaker. | 17:23 |
| datacrusher | Segfault, i used the older kernel and all worked | 17:23 |
| zniavre_ | Dr_Willis, i m a bit "oldschool" and im usualy install them manualy from .run | 17:23 |
| zniavre_ | but now i understand thank you | 17:23 |
| kachnik | shogun_, I googled this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/557547 | 17:23 |
| sebsebseb | peleg: when install mess's up big time, you can chroot the file system and try and fix or whatever it is, but easier to just clean install. | 17:23 |
| netbook | theadmin: is this error common? | 17:23 |
| peleg | sebsebseb: no. I am in the uni right now, since I don't have internet in my laptop any more :( - I don't believe I have a burner around here. I do have a mobile usb hard-drive, though. | 17:23 |
| Dr_Willis | zniavre_: for my nvidia systems i never need to. boot up first time. click click.. done . :) | 17:23 |
| theadmin | netbook: Well happened to me :D | 17:23 |
| quenbert | Hi there, how can I know a swap partition is encrypted? | 17:23 |

| UbuntuLily | I have a Image file on the USB drive and I mounted the image | 17:25 |

| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: yeah I got serious issues on other computer with Plymouth when I had the driver installed | 17:26 |
| Dr_Willis | UbuntuLily: some of those messages about 'ata3.00' seem a little scary. But this is a USB flash drive you are having issues with? | 17:26 |
| kkojiband | in previous ubuntu, i modified /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm | 17:26 |

| peleg | sebsebseb: thanks! One more thing: will a clean install not mess with my home directory? Will I need to reinstall also all of my packages? (apache, mysql, etc.) - or will it know that it is there? | 17:26 |
| squarebracket | sigh. i should probably do a clean install, considering the amount of unnecessary stuff i have installed.... but i don't really want to. maybe one of these days i'll actually do that. thanks, theadmin. the usual :) | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: you only really need the propritary driver installed if you want to 3D OpenGL game | 17:27 |
| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: well I haven't tested with this new open source driver, but I think it lacks support | 17:27 |

| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: you can keep your /home directory, but yes programs will need to be re installed, also some programs for example email client | 17:28 |
| kjele_ | kkojiband: On the first fan you can set the default size | 17:28 |
| peleg | The usb installation page talks about 9.10 - is it the same for 10.04? | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: if you have a email client set up, so it's got whatever in home, but after re installing, it might not just detect that | 17:28 |

| theadmin | netbook: Let me take a quick look | 17:28 |
| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: for this kind of reason, that's one reason I don't bother with email clients :) and oh yes even in Windows they can be a right pain when they mess up, and web mail is :) | 17:29 |

| sebsebseb | billybigrigger: don't bother with email client these days, that's been quite a while over a year :) | 17:30 |
| kjele_ | Dr_Willis: Depends on what you mean by installing to usb. If you install the live cd version is much better than the os. | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | peleg: use unetbootin or usb-disk-creator to make a bootable installer flash drive.. boot it.. install :) | 17:30 |

| theGman | sebsebseb: Thanks. | 17:52 |
| sinux | vivek, use top command in the terminal to verify the CPU usage | 17:52 |

| Prajwal | xTheGoat121x, thanks for the link on Burg | 17:54 |
| abstrakt | acicula, i looked in there too | 17:54 |
| abstrakt | it's all JSON files | 17:54 |
| abstrakt | not very human readable | 17:54 |
| vivek | sinux: thanks ... but it is not always using 100% CPU... sometimes it does.. my thing here is that I have nothing to do with the indicator applet.. it just sits in one corner.. why should it ever use 100%CPU | 17:54 |
| Take0n | sebsebseb, what is this "message menu" called? I am not sure what to look for | 17:54 |

| nocturnus | what grub command parses grub.cfg in a readable form ? | 17:55 |
| xTheGoat121x | Prajwal, No problem. Just be careful installing it -- it can be a bit tricky if you don't do all the steps. There's a few guides for it on the forums | 17:55 |
| theGman | And even shows me access points avail to conn too....but when it attempts to...after a few secs...it returns "disconnected..." Anyone have an idea why? | 17:55 |
| ReBoRnE33 | I've done an in-place upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04. This hasn't caused me any problems in the past with previous Ubuntu release updates on the same hardware. Now the dovecot pop3 server and Bacula director aren't coming up. | 17:55 |
| sinux | vivek, might the applet is buggy just remove it and use top if you want to see the CPU usage | 17:55 |
| acicula | abstrakt, ~/.mozilla/firefox/<somenumber>/bookmarks.html does not exist? | 17:55 |
| abstrakt | acicula, yes that exists | 17:55 |
| peleg | Do you know if there's a way to "manually update grub" AFTER I have restarted? At the moment ubuntu can't read my filesystem (since it tries ext4, while my filesystem is ext3, I believe) - is there ANYTHING I can do at this point? Or should I try a fresh install now? | 17:55 |
| abstrakt | acicula, it just doesn't have my *actual* bookmarks in it | 17:55 |
| acicula | abstrakt, then you are asking the wrong question, you have the bookmark backups, but want to import them into firefox? | 17:56 |

| sebsebseb | Take0n: if I am correct you want your app to use their thing instead of the notificaiton area, yes? | 17:57 |
| Prajwal | yea sure :) | 17:57 |
| vivek | thanks sinux: will try removing the indicator applet though I am not sure if I would really want to remove it... by the way could you please tell me what is this desktop couch service | 17:57 |
| Bombo | BluesKaj: *reading* | 17:57 |
| vivek | sinux: i see two instances of it on my system monitor | 17:57 |
| sinux | peleg, It's better if you do a clean install it's little trouble than trying to fix the current | 17:58 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: or you really weren't clear in what you were asking | 17:58 |
| sinux | vivek, give me sec | 17:58 |

| vivek | sure sinux: please take your time | 17:59 |
| rohan | is there any way to get rid of _all_ traces of ubuntu one from your system? | 17:59 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: no reply, no link | 17:59 |
| peleg | sinux: well, it is not a little trouble, that's sure, since I can't burn a CD and I can't use usb-creator here, since I don't have any root permissions (in the university). If only there was a way to create a bootable CD without root permissions... | 17:59 |

| ActionParsnip | rohan: sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntuone* | 17:59 |
| Take0n | sorry for answering I was googling it but with no luck | 17:59 |
| peleg | I have also read that this switch to ext4 might corrupt my data. Is that true? I am terrified :( - I have a backup, but it is only from about a week ago, not really up-to-date. | 18:00 |
| rohan | ActionParsnip: thanks.. will that remove the metapackage ubuntu-desktop too? | 18:00 |
| ReBoRnE33 | Can anyone explain why the dovecot pop3 server & bacula director daemons aren't being started on boot anymore after an in-place update from 9.10? | 18:00 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: ok I have a link that goes on to a link to do with what you seem to want to do, but it doesn't tell you how, well you'll see | 18:00 |
| ondra | Nainstaloval jsem ubuntu kterémi na virtuáluu jelo česky ale zde nejde. | 18:00 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: I guess | 18:00 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: then you may want to run: cd ~/; ls -a make sure no config folders shown smell like ubuntuone, also run: cd ~/.config; ls -a and do the same there | 18:00 |
| Take0n | thank you | 18:00 |
| Take0n | could you please provide me with that link? | 18:00 |

| vivek | sinux, is that not surprising.. i have a clean install of lucid on my system and if you are using lucid too. should we both not have the same things running | 18:02 |
| neverblue | how do I set my IP, behind my router, on my Ubuntu machine ? | 18:02 |

| theadmin | neverblue: I think you'll have to make the router do that for ya | 18:02 |
| nocturnus | acicula: where's the file that's like menu.lst in grub1 ? | 18:02 |
| ActionParsnip | rohan: just read the screen before you authorise the removal | 18:03 |

| rohan | ActionParsnip: i will, thanks | 18:03 |
| neverblue | theadmin, for some reason, my VMware Ubuntu machine changed its IP.... | 18:03 |
| sinux | vivek, I'm running lucid 64bit and yes it's a clean install | 18:03 |
| acicula | neverblue, its usually handed out by the router, and this is also the default for ubuntu. if you need to specify static configurations you can right click the network applet in the panel and select edit connections and fill in connection dtails | 18:03 |
| theGman | Ok, went to that link but not seeing anything for the wusb100! Only seeing stuff for the wusb600N which doesn't seem like it would help... | 18:03 |

| dirtyharold | what proxy do you guys use for IRC -if any? | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nocturnus: editting /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not the way to edit grub as the file is generated so next time you install a new kernel, the cange you made will be lost | 18:04 |
| vivek | sinux. i am running lucid 32 bit .... possibly that should be the diff..... | 18:04 |

| evol_ | Hello, I've managed to get that little envelope (message notification thingy) icon go away from my notification area.. how can i get it back | 18:04 |
| acicula | nocturnus, that is now grub.cfg i believe, you edit the file in /etc/default/grub to set grub settings | 18:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nocturnus: read the grub2 factoid ubottu gave, you need to edit gub's config files then run: sudo update-grub for the changes to stick | 18:04 |

| ActionParsnip | theadmin: its generated so new kernels will lose the settings, thats why its marked as read only, even to root (but the access may be changed) and the file says it is not to be modified | 18:05 |

| bumbblebee | namoroka ;) | 18:18 |
| theadmin | bumbblebee: Nah, it displays just as "Firefox" for Lucid | 18:18 |
| peleg | so the release notes say "you must also use the grub-install command after upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to reinstall your boot loader" - now that I am finally seeing my shell, how can I use that command? It asks me to provide an install_device. | 18:18 |
| bumbblebee | k | 18:18 |
| theadmin | bumbblebee: Cause it uses 3.6 as deafult | 18:19 |
| ActionParsnip | theGman: read the product line for the wireless interface and use it in websearches. I also suggest you use a wired connection to get full updates before any of this as the updates may fix it for you | 18:19 |
| bastid_raZor | paddy_: ls -hal /path/to/directory | 18:19 |
| erichynds | does alt+drag no longer work for moving a gnome panel? | 18:19 |
| theadmin | erichynds: Does. | 18:19 |
| erichynds | theadmin, any reason why it wouldn't for me? I'm on a fresh install of 10.04. | 18:19 |
| linuxgecko | ActionParsnip: the machine has no cd drive, i'm using a unetbootin usb thumb drive. i've used it successfully for 9.10. I'm typing from the livecd environment. what kernel options do i need? i've already tried some. and please don't treat me like a linux noob. | 18:20 |
| theadmin | erichynds: Hmnh. I'm on a update from Karmic, but... | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoptions | linuxgecko | 18:20 |
| ubottu | linuxgecko: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 18:20 |
| theadmin | erichynds: They're kicking out the panel for the next release anyway | 18:20 |
| erichynds | correction, i cannot drag new panels. the default 2 can be dragged | 18:21 |
| paddy_ | bastid_raZor "drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K May 3 23:52 html" | 18:21 |
| theGman | ActionParsnip: Sadly, a wired conn isn't an option at the moment or I could be in here while booted in ubuntu... :( | 18:21 |
| linuxgecko | ActionParsnip: so you just want me to throw the dictionary of kernel options at it? no diagnosis? | 18:22 |
| htc | lulz | 18:22 |
| erichynds | theadmin, answered my own question. I needed to put something on it before it could be dragged, for whatever reason | 18:22 |
| Patrinstar | how do i update firefox? i have version 3.5.9 | 18:22 |
| htc | hey linuxgecko you got any dmesg|tail /var/log/syslog /var/log/messages output thats interesting? | 18:22 |
| ondra | Good evening. I installed Ubuntu in a virtual computer system in the Czech language. Now I have installed the system into a notebook is in English. How do I translate into Czech? | 18:22 |
| theadmin | Patrinstar: Best solution: Update Ubuntu to Lucid. | 18:22 |
| bastid_raZor | paddy_: you would need to change the group permissions and the group.. sudo chmod 775 html .. then change the group to something that isn't root .. say that users name. then they shoudl be able to read read write execute the directory | 18:23 |
| theadmin | ondra: System - Admininstration - Language Support | 18:23 |
| Patrinstar | theadmin, whatrs lucid? im new to this | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | linuxgecko: try a few, see what you get. The MD5 will hopefully pass so you know the data you are using is good. If not, you know where the error lies | 18:23 |
| theadmin | ubottu: lucid | Patrinstar | 18:23 |
| ubottu | Patrinstar: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004 | 18:23 |
| hwilde | hello, a samba mount failed and then all the icons on my desktop disappeard? | 18:23 |
| peleg | But actually I prefer to stay with ext3. I am worrying for my data. But it looks like I just can't make a fresh install... I have an external HD and I have an internet connection on this ubuntu here - but I don't have admin permissions. Why would I need admin permissions in order to create a bootable usb?? | 18:23 |
| ondra | To nefunguje. | 18:23 |
| ondra | It does not work. | 18:23 |
| zippytech | hi I am running 8.04 where is the trash folder located at for each user? | 18:24 |
| chazco | The Ubuntu 10.04 live cd can't reach a desktop environment on my desktop PC. I'm guessing this is due to the changed nvidia free drivers. Is this something that is likely to be fixed in 10.04.1? | 18:24 |
| htc | peleg, writing to disks is a admin thing, and iirc ntfs/fat only automount without permissions needed, but its been a while since ive tried other fs's | 18:24 |
| bastid_raZor | !trash | zippytech | 18:24 |
| ubottu | zippytech: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash | 18:24 |
| schweegi | theadmin: thank you! that solved the problem :) | 18:24 |
| htc | chazco, what sort of PC do you have? is it a dell? | 18:24 |
| bastid_raZor | zippytech: /home/username/.Trash for each user | 18:24 |
| chazco | htc - Nope, just a basic self build | 18:25 |
| htc | chazco, first thing i always try is getting the alternate CD installer, and going from there. they take out all the nice stuff and fill it with drivers | 18:25 |
| ondra | Good evening. I installed Ubuntu in a virtual computer system in the Czech language. Now I have installed the system into a notebook is in English. How do I translate into Czech? Lagnuage support its not work. | 18:25 |
| bastid_raZor | paddy_: please keep questions in the main channel. and i do not know what that means | 18:25 |
| Patrinstar | theadmin, so i update to lucid? or am i reinstalling everything? | 18:25 |
| phillipsjk | linuxgecko: did you try "Check disk for defects. " that check the MD5 hash I believe. | 18:25 |
| htc | chazco, k what hardware's in it? | 18:25 |
| kjele_ | zippytech: in ~/.local/share/Trash/files | 18:25 |
| theadmin | Patrinstar: You can just update. | 18:25 |
| theadmin | Patrinstar: Use the update manager | 18:25 |
| paddy_ | how do i change the group? | 18:25 |
| theadmin | paddy_: chown :group somefile | 18:26 |
| Patrinstar | theadmin, what do you mean use the update manager? | 18:26 |
| bastid_raZor | paddy_: sudo chgrp groupname html | 18:26 |
| linuxgecko | phillipsjk: sorry if i'm frustrated.. i've said a few times that i unetbootin'd my iso to a usb stick. and i use the stick for other things too. | 18:26 |
| theadmin | Patrinstar: system -> admininstration -> update manager. | 18:26 |
| htc | !upgrade | 18:26 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 18:26 |
| chazco | htc - I normally need the live cd to do some other bits and pieces (cleaning up /home partition for example). Not sure what's in it anymore :D Its got a nvidia geforce 6200LE video card (+ an unused on-board nvidia card) | 18:26 |
| peleg | The problem that in this shell I'm in, at the moment, I connect the external HD, and it is mounted (I see it it /media, with its real name), but it appears it has no files in it at all. As if my system can't read it now. I feel lost... that is, there's really nothing at all I can do to have a computer running again :( | 18:26 |
| theadmin | bastid_raZor: chgrp? Who needs that. We have chown | 18:26 |
| bastid_raZor | theadmin: if changing just the group then it is useful. | 18:27 |
| theGman | ActionParsnip: Could I boot into a diff distro's live cd that can conn and maybe chroot and work with it? Would that even work? | 18:27 |
| htc | hm, nvidia chipset on the mobo chazco ? | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: browser issues as I was saying | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: so uhmm | 18:27 |
| zippytech | thanks everyone | 18:27 |
| theadmin | bastid_raZor: Dunno... chown :group somefile or chgrp group somefile... really same effect | 18:27 |
| OttifantSir1 | Is there a faster way of finding and correcting invalid coding (using Scandinavian letters in filenames) than going through 15000+ MP3s and see which ones are marked? | 18:27 |
| chazco | htc - Yes, can't give you specifics because i'm not sure without taking it apart to check :) | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | theGman: possibly, its free to try :) | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | Take0n: well one last try finding in my IRC log | 18:27 |
| sebsebseb | I guess | 18:27 |
| Pici | OttifantSir1: I *think* that easytag will do that automatically. | 18:28 |
| htc | chazco, sure you can | 18:28 |
| peleg | I guess my only option is to install a live-cd somewhere else, and try my luck booting from it. | 18:28 |
| htc | sudo lspci -vvv >somefile | 18:28 |
| datacrusher | does anyone knows if ubuntu 10 have support for intel 82945G/GZ vga? | 18:28 |

| OttifantSir1 | Pici: Is that in the repos? | 18:28 |
| bastid_raZor | theadmin: it isn't something to bluster about. both work and for someone who has no idea what they are doing chgrp simplifies it. | 18:28 |
| Pici | OttifantSir1: Yes, it is. | 18:28 |
| Patrinstar | theadmin, how do i get update manager to find lucid? | 18:28 |
| zippytech | hmm when i click on the trash can I see folders but when I look in the folder with terminal as root I see nothing | 18:28 |
| malice | /quit | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir1: you can use the find command in conjuction with -exec to script it | 18:28 |
| theGman | ActionParsnip: Just not sure WHAT to try in that scenario...? | 18:28 |
| theadmin | Patrinstar: What is your current Ubuntu version? (please run "lsb_release -src" | 18:28 |
| ActionParsnip | OttifantSir1: te guys in #bash have some crazy scripting skills | 18:29 |
| PHLAK | I have irssi set up on a remote server and am sshed into that server, now how do I get my local terminal to blink the taskbar icon on a bell? | 18:29 |

| OttifantSir1 | ActionParsnip: I know. Been there a few times and gotten help | 18:29 |
| Patrinstar | 9.10 karmic | 18:29 |
| phillipsjk | linuxgecko: did you try "F4. Graphics Modes. If video is unacceptable during the operation of the CD, selecting the "Safe graphics mode" may provide better results during LiveCD operation or until video issues can be resolved after installation." | 18:29 |
| Patrinstar | theadmin, 9.10 karmic | 18:29 |
| peleg | Ok, I have no choice, then. Thank you for your help. I will run to catch a friend somewhere. Cheers. | 18:29 |

| _Zappy_ | With win7 I can , but Linux doesn't seem to give me that option | 18:37 |

| ActionParsnip | khider: any openoffice named folders, rename them (or you can do it in nautilus / whatever) | 18:41 |
| theGman | ActionParsnip: Sure, if I HAD a wired, would be no issue eh? :P | 18:41 |
| kjele_ | infid: do a update-grub just to be sure | 18:41 |
| ActionParsnip | theGman: less of an issue, wired connections are dead handy | 18:41 |

| ActionParsnip | khider: run: mv ~/.openoffice.org ~/.openoffice.org_old then retry an openoffice app | 18:43 |
| kjele_ | infid: "sudo update-grub" will update grub | 18:43 |

| robertreadman | so now im in live cd mode and want to install grub | 19:17 |
| phillipsjk | Slart: the error message si (almost) plain english: the pre-removal script is corrupt. the question is how to force or manually remove the package. | 19:17 |

| StPiere | dhcp | 20:13 |
| c2d2 | found it, search for Vulcan Death Grip on this page: http://virdir.ncsa.illinois.edu/slevy/o2-stereo/highres.html | 20:13 |
| marupa | Slart, Not exactly. As in I want to keep terminal window minimised, but let it alert me if there's any activity other than in a particular spot. | 20:14 |
| soreau | I managed to get vino-preferences with ssh -X but I set it to accept all connections, restarted vnc-server and it is still saying connection refused 111 when I try to connect | 20:14 |
| soreau | but it doesnt say why the connection is being refused | 20:14 |
| GotSanity | StPiere, try dhclient3 eth0 | 20:14 |
| littlepenguin | diddy you need to put the charakters in there as you written them on your router | 20:14 |
| diddy | littlepenguin, of course | 20:14 |
| GotSanity | StPiere, you have to run that as sudo | 20:14 |
| StPiere | gotSanity: dhclient3 eth0 is command in terminal ? | 20:14 |

| geekphreak | felon: mind :) | 20:17 |
| littlepenguin | felon your head | 20:17 |
| marupa | Slart, Screen can check for activity, but it can't ignore a certain area, so I'd be getting alerts whenever the minute changes. | 20:17 |

| littlepenguin | lucidguy go to freshmeat net there is a good place for finding such things | 20:19 |
| c2d2 | soreau: connection refused it isn't listening on that port. Could be firewall. | 20:20 |
| LucidGuy | littlepenguin, very funny | 20:20 |
| trism | soreau: ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@host (replacing user@host with the user and host you are sshing into), then connect your local vnc client to localhost | 20:20 |
| littlepenguin | lucid??no sure | 20:20 |

| hareldvd | can | 20:21 |
| c2d2 | soreau: he was referring to secure shelling into the system to forward the port through the firewall. | 20:21 |
| geekphreak | htpc: try this >> press alt+f2 >> gnome-session-save --shutdown-dialog | 20:21 |
| phillipsjk | Andre_Gondim: How is it hooked up to the PC? VGA, DVI and HDMI connections should transmit the supported video modes. | 20:21 |
| GotSanity | Anyone know how I can fix edge scrolling for my alps touchpad? Its been broken since the lucid upgrade | 20:21 |
| Andre_Gondim | phillipsjk, VGA | 20:21 |
| soreau | c2d2: I have a feeling this is not the problem since I am talking through vncviewer into another box on the same network | 20:22 |
| htpc | geekphreak, ko, I trying, will be back if work | 20:22 |
| trism | soreau: yeah, may not be the problem, was just an idea | 20:22 |
| c2d2 | trism: would he do that from the vnc client side or vnc server side machine. In otherwords. from where to where? | 20:22 |
| hareldvd | On 9.4 when I was shutting down or logging out I had a dialog with a countdown. After upgrade to 10.04, no more countdown. Can I get it back? | 20:23 |
| trism | c2d2: ssh from the local machine to the remote machine, then vnc from the local machine to localhost (since the ssh command forwards the port to the local machine) | 20:23 |
| Pici | LucidGuy: I'm not sure what you're laughing about. freshmeat.net *is* a website that catalogs open source projects. Additionally, you may want to look at rt (request tracker). | 20:23 |

| Slart | marupa: the command "script -f" will at least give you a file with everything that is typed and printed into the terminal you run it from.. so you'll get a live feed of what is happening in the terminal window.. perhaps by parsing this you might be able to match what you're looking for | 20:27 |

| QuiltPants | hi everyone, I have just installed 10.04 and am loving it, but have a few questions that hopefully someone could answer. First thing i'd love to solve is: I'm running a dual monitor setup and would love to have the application switcher window (alt+tab window) stay on the main monitor. Does anyone know how to do this? Haven't had much luck on google | 20:36 |
| thevishy | !avidemux | 20:36 |
| G-man | yeah | 20:36 |
| Guest53364 | G-man: sudo apt-get install xchat | 20:36 |
| geekphreak | htpc: should work mate, option yo can add that user to other group like admin and all, | 20:36 |
| c2d2 | soreau: can that system vncviewer into itself? | 20:36 |
| guntbert | mickster04: if you *really* need a root shell use sudo -i | 20:36 |
| G-man | thanks | 20:37 |
| soreau | c2d2: yes, that is what happens if I try localhost | 20:37 |
| datta | is there any permanent solution to my problem? | 20:37 |
| soreau | c2d2: oh wait.. | 20:37 |
| mickster04 | guntbert: well if sudo mkdir doesn't work, surely sudo (s/su/-i) would work? | 20:37 |

| guest42420 | barbarella: it says i have a 82566mm gigabit network connection | 21:01 |

| zvacet | Barley: I know that but I want to play with Midori it is very fast | 21:01 |
| aperson | zvacet, you'll have to take it up with midori support | 21:01 |

| lucasmocellin | hi folks, I'm customizing a Ubuntu distro for distance learning, and the main point is to apply online tests. I would like to know if there is someone involved to version control in Ubuntu, mainly related to "what/how it happens" when canonical upgrade a ubuntu version like from 9.10 to 10.04. I would like to upgrade my distro and keep an easy control of everything modified. | 21:02 |
| uncmar | CogitoErgoSam: soreau is doing it all via LAN. | 21:02 |
| guntbert | fake51: you're welcome :-) -- now and then I manage to mess up my settings in windows (without knowing how/why) | 21:02 |
| Maddin1 | Hello everyone, I installed Ubuntu 10.4 Caconical and my Vista partition is gone. Grub 2 is available but vista isnt listed. I can see the files in Ubuntu | 21:02 |
| Barley | zvacet: Kinda neat. But what if i make a browser called "mybrowser" and it cant read a_by_all_standards_ok_webpage? then i should not complain | 21:03 |
| Maddin1 | from windows vista | 21:03 |
| linuxgecko | theGman: does that analogy make sense? | 21:03 |
| soreau | CogitoErgoSam: yep, lan | 21:03 |
| ChogyDan1 | lucasmocellin: typically, everything is upgraded | 21:03 |
| uncmar | CogitoErgoSam: I have not used vino but have worked with vnc extensively. Ultra, tight, real, Both windows and linux. | 21:03 |
| Gunner_Sr | Can someone help me with an upgrade issue to 10.4. I had previous running bind9 and dhcp3 servers, and now I am getting a permission error for the rndc.key. I have made changes to apparmor and set the permissions to 644 to. But still I get the error?? | 21:03 |

| CogitoErgoSam | I'm using x11vnc and ssh to do mine; haven't messed around with the nitty-gritty of the default vino server | 21:04 |
| Oddbio | barbarella: the FN keys don't change the brightness... they should though.. I also checked in the keyboard shortcuts to see if I could assign it but didn't see anything for brightness. | 21:04 |
| uncmar | soreau: have you restarted your vino? so that you know what port it is using? | 21:04 |
| david_ | I am having issues with window dragging and dropping. I have visual effects turn off, who is responsible for this? Metacity ? Gnome ? X ? | 21:04 |
| Maddin1 | linuxgecko: thanks for your reply. what can I do to make it listend ? ^^ | 21:04 |
| uncmar | CogitoErgoSam: yeah. x11vnc is what I use on my linux systems. | 21:04 |
| soreau | uncmar: as I said, I restarted it many times and since I have not set the port, I assume it is using whatever is default | 21:04 |
| lucasmocellin | ChogyDan1: ok, but I mean, if I modified some packages (Xorg, casper, removed gnome, installed xfce, modified the boot process, and so on), and now I want to upgrade to 10.04 and keep that modifications, how should I proceed? | 21:04 |

| juanca | hi, how can I mount a hard disk in ubuntu (server) as guest in virtualbox? I've seen a tutorial to mount external usb drives editing /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh but that shoul be for USB drives only, mine is a hard disk in the machine | 21:06 |
| Maddin1 | ok | 21:06 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: If the vino server is having so many problems with the connect, you could try setting up SSH so that your client can log in and forward port 5900, so that the programs will be acting as if the VNC session is on localhost | 21:06 |

| Oddbio | barbarella: It's a SONY VAIO PCG-K45 and I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 21:06 |
| ChogyDan1 | lucasmocellin: I don't know. I'm thinking you should ask on the devel-discuss mailing list. I'm not familiar with making a custom distro | 21:07 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: That takes all of the port and connection management work off of the vnc software and lets the ssh server manage it | 21:07 |
| guest42420 | barbarella - when i plug in the ethernet cable and try to connect with eth0, the computer searches for a connection and then drops off saying I've been disconnected.

| superfirelord42 | Paradigm_Shift: you have to hold shift to get grub to come up | 21:11 |
| theGman | linuxgecko: Wow, that's the "long" way round isn't it? Though I can recall ever having to boot a sys manually before. Brb. | 21:11 |
| superfirelord42 | Paradigm_Shift: but you can edit the config file to get it to come up by default | 21:11 |

| Wulfy | guys is there any clients from the repo that intergrates with ubuntu and afraid.org's dns services? | 21:21 |
| Barley | Shapeshifter: Maybe RAP is out ? I for one think its way too repetetive | 21:21 |
| tyler_d | more specifically for the graphical end(not actionscript) | 21:21 |
| uncmar | soreau: nc -v -z localhost 5899-5910 | 21:21 |
| stryk3r | stefg then okay, I'll do that, I just need to backup some files in this installation | 21:21 |

| FoxWolf | axolote, my update manager says updated 4 days ago | 21:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | wondering if anyone has a fix for this bug found in denyhosts - http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2898723&group_id=131204&atid=720419 | 21:22 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: Here's how the process works for me. box A, the client, logs into the host, box B, with ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 username@hostname | 21:22 |
| bokenrosie | I want to make WinXP the default OS so when M$oft does their updates the machine will reboot and finish on it's own. | 21:22 |
| uncmar | guest42420: you gotta get the right drivers installed. | 21:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wulfy: they provide an example wget command line, which you can copy/paste to some cron | 21:22 |
| penris | nick opnet | 21:22 |
| axolote | Foxwolf: cool. thank you. good to hear. :) | 21:22 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wulfy: i mean, i'am doing that | 21:22 |
| === penris is now known as opnet | ||
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: Then I run x11vnc -localhost with wahtever options I need on the host | 21:22 |
| uncmar | soreau: does that report any ports open? | 21:22 |
| soreau | uncmar: http://pastebin.org/201794 | 21:22 |
| Wulfy | brontosaurusrex, thanks but hazy on cron ussage (past history with cron was via cpanel) | 21:22 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: the chances of someone knowing what that is with no relational data is slim, even on here | 21:23 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: Then, to open the vnc connection, I use a vnc viewer on the client machine to access "localhost" | 21:23 |
| NeoPhoenix | hi all ! i have a question about graphical card, i want to know a card who have good driver in kubuntu or ubuntu ? i have a 8600 gt nvidia who work very well in windows in 1600*1200 and in my kubuntu the most is 13600*768 ? | 21:23 |
| FoxWolf | axolote, i dunno though because i updated this morning to some new headers i think also a new kernel but im not sure, still says 4 days ago | 21:23 |
| theGman | linuxgecko: Ok, so what would to "poper" fix be? | 21:23 |
| theGman | sry poper -> proper | 21:23 |

| Skae | is the keyserver down? | 21:23 |
| linuxgecko | theGman: ?? | 21:23 |
| Wulfy | opnet great way to get peopel to help you *claps* | 21:23 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wulfy: man crontab, let me find how my cron looks like.... | 21:24 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: the -L 5900:localhost:5900 command that was used to start the ssh session is forwarding any traffic on the host's localhost port 5900 to the client and making it seem like the vnc session is being hosted on the host's computer, not somewhere else | 21:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyler_d, huh, did you even look at the link, not saying you didn't but there is plenty of information on their explaining about the bug, which has to do with the denyhosts resyliant downloads | 21:24 |
| Jordan_U | Wulfy: ddclient works with dyndns.org (which is also free) | 21:24 |
| AnxiousNut | CogitoErgoSam: i just installed synergy on both systems, now what? | 21:24 |
| duffydack | opnet, gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close" | 21:24 |
| uncmar | CogitoErgoSam: his vino-server is either not running or not using the default port. PERIOD. | 21:24 |
| guest42420 | I am having problems with ethernet on my laptop. i think i have the right driver, but it is not retrieving an ip address. i am a newb and figure it should work with minimal tweaking. can anyone help me out with some basic troubleshooting? I can't find any good docs. | 21:24 |
| Wulfy | Jordan_U, many thanks but am i right in thinking that requires a compatible dd wrt router? | 21:24 |
| soreau | CogitoErgoSam: Well it doesnt work because localhost from the client just vncs into itself | 21:24 |
| marupa | Ergh. OK, this is annoying. Sound seems to drop out and come back at random, giving blips and pieces of sound, sometimes nothing at all, sometimes like a chipmunk'd audio file as it catches up, and now it doesn't respond at all. What gives? | 21:24 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: ok, don't take my constructive criticism... just mock it and hang out waiting. GL! | 21:24 |
| callum1 | Hi all, Using docky I have managed to hook it up to my thunderbird contacts. This works fine. I have also changed my default mail to thunderbird. My problem is when i type in an email address -> tab -> email -> enter it opens a new compose email but the "TO" field is not populated with the address I selected. any ideas? | 21:24 |
| callum1 | (20:47:57) QuiltPants: hi all, how do i get the alt-tab window to remain on my primary monitor? | 21:24 |
| wng- | I'm not getting any sound from my Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio in 10.04, the system sees it in lspci, and reports its using the snd_ca0106 module, and alsamixer shows all channels unmuted and at full volume, but im still not getting sound, any ideas? | 21:25 |
| uncmar | CogitoErgoSam: port forwarding is not going to do diddly for him. | 21:25 |
| guest42420 | uncmar: I am using the right driver i think, e1000e on a lenovo t61 laptop... | 21:25 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: The client shouldn't be hosting or running any vnc servers | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | Wulfy: No, sudo apt-get install ddclient. | 21:25 |
| Barley | Pirate_Hunter: Whats with your nick name ? | 21:25 |
| linuxgecko | theGman: not sure.. i think I'm still using grub1. i'd have to dig into it, and I'm still trying to get my own lucid install from scratch working | 21:25 |
| Sa[i]nT | ARGGGHHH!! | 21:25 |
| * Sa[i]nT hides. | 21:25 | |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyler_d, I guess you didnt understand me and got the wrong idea... | 21:25 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wulfy: http://pastebin.org/201798 | 21:25 |
| uncmar | guest42420: lenovo t61. wow, that is old. I have an old broken t60. sweet machines. | 21:25 |
| Wulfy | Jordan_U, thanks! i was hoping apt get could handle it trying to avoid adding outside items | 21:25 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: Are both of the computers you're usin synergy with linux boxes? Are you using the QuickSynergy gui front end? | 21:25 |
| Jordan_U | Wulfy: And setup is dead simple, installing the package will prompt you for your login and set everything up automagically. | 21:26 |
| axolote | Foxwolf: Oh. That's really strange. | 21:26 |
| soreau | CogitoErgoSam: The client is running vino-server in this case but I tried killing it and only having the other box run vnc server and it still did not work | 21:26 |
| guest42420 | uncmar: t61 isn't that old. manufactured in 2007 | 21:26 |
| Wulfy | brontosaurusrex, thanks bud ill take a peek | 21:26 |
| brontosaurusrex | Wulfy: np | 21:26 |
| Barley | Sa[i]nT: Clearly better then some whiny bitch whining at others over a bit aof spilled milk. | 21:26 |
| uncmar | guest42420: sudo ifconfig -a | 21:26 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: Make sure its dead by running ps aux | grep vino on the client | 21:26 |
| Oddbio | stefg: no my BIOS didn't have a brightness option I even tried setting the defaults and it's still dark... It has to be something like that though because it initially starts bright and then dims very shortly after I turn it on.. but before GRUB even loads so it's not Ubuntu... | 21:26 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: And killing the process with -9 if you need to | 21:26 |
| FoxWolf | Barley, lol at language | 21:26 |
| axolote | linuxgecko: I had the same problem b/c of a huge bug associated w/ my graphics chipset. What is your chipset? | 21:27 |
| soreau | CogitoErgoSam: pkill vino does it just fine | 21:27 |
| bG303 | 10.4 server rebooted and now getting an X seg fault when firing up gdm, any ideas where i start to diagnose this ? | 21:27 |

| m_anish | I know its potentially sucidal, but is there any way to get apt to install packages even if there are unmet dependencies/broken packages? | 21:27 |
| aperson | When I move my mouse around, to resume my computer from the screensaver, the screensaver exits normally and goes to the desktop, but immediately afterwards, the screen fades to black and I have to move my mouse again to get to the desktop, anyone? | 21:27 |
| AnxiousNut | CogitoErgoSam, installing quick synergy, i installed only synergy earlier, and yea both linux | 21:28 |
| m_anish | even --force-yes doesnt work! | 21:28 |
| uncmar | soreau: which x11vnc | 21:28 |
| uncmar | soreau: does that return anything? | 21:28 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: so are you saying you have upgraded to python 2.6 and modified your sync.py (line 47 to read timestamp = long(timestamp.strip())? and are still seeing what? | 21:28 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: The computer with the mouse/keyboard you're using is the host, and the other is a client | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | bokenrosie: Change GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub, you can use either a number or the title of the menu entry (quoted). If youi use the title then you don't have to worry about it breaking when you get a new kernel for example. | 21:29 |
| linuxgecko | axolote: intel 82865G.... it's an i915 driver. it seems that driver is not working right, welll,, sorta. it gives me an Xorg.0.log which is free of (EE), but it gives me a black screen. i can kill gdm/X just fine, but i can't get a gui. | 21:29 |
| p1und3r | hey buntoids | 21:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: On the host, you'll see the up down left and right fields? That shows where the other screen is going to add on to your desktop | 21:29 |
| soreau | uncmar: Of course, it returns the location of the x11vnc binary | 21:29 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: Type the hostname of the client in the place you want it to extend the desktop | 21:29 |
| wng- | I'm not getting any sound from my Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio in 10.04, the system sees it in lspci, and reports its using the snd_ca0106 module, and alsamixer shows all channels unmuted and at full volume, but im still not getting sound, any ideas? | 21:29 |
| aperson | !hi | p1und3r | 21:29 |
| ubottu | p1und3r: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 21:29 |
| infid | flash plugin got removed when i upgraded to lucid. how should i reinstall it so it works for firefox and chrome? | 21:29 |
| p1und3r | lols thanks aperson :p | 21:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyler_d, in lucid that line is already changed I dont have to do anything and I still get that and yes 2.6 is installed by default | 21:30 |
| NeoPhoenix | apt-cache search adobe flash :D | 21:30 |
| Barley | p1und3r: Hello dick :) | 21:30 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: So if your client box is named cbox and you want it to extend off the left side of your host's monitor, then you'd enter "cbox" in the left field | 21:30 |
| aperson | infid, either download it manually and install it or just install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:30 |
| infid | thanks | 21:30 |
| theGman | linuxgecko: You mentions two options for replacing my "starter" and you gave me the "popping the clutch" vers what's the other option? Grease monkeying grub as you initially mentioned? | 21:30 |
| p1und3r | Barley: hey vagina :D | 21:30 |
| p1und3r | :o | 21:30 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: What are you trying to do? | 21:30 |
| stefg | Oddbio: maybe http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.linux.acpi.devel/month=20051101/page=25 sheds some light on your issue | 21:30 |
| linuxgecko | theGman: yeah.. what do you get when grub won't/can't boot any OS? | 21:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut: Then you'd hit execute, go to the other computer, and use the "Use" tab instead of share, and type the IP address of the host computer (the one with the keyboard/mouse) | 21:31 |
| Barley | p1und3r: Naah, Dick is a valid name you know. | 21:31 |
| QuiltPants | hello, does anyone know how to force the alt-tab popup to always appear on your primary monitor? | 21:31 |
| AnxiousNut | CogitoErgoSam, and the screen name is the username? | 21:31 |
| infid | aperson: when i did that it said flashplugin-nonfree is already at its newest version | 21:31 |
| uncmar | soreau: try this on box1: DISPLAY=:0.0 x11vnc $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 -dontdisconnect -alwaysshared -shared -forever -rfbport 5900 | 21:31 |
| guntbert | Barley: p1und3r: stop that please | 21:31 |
| aperson | infid, try re-installing it then | 21:31 |
| uncmar | soreau: then try to vnc into that system. | 21:31 |
| p1und3r | Barley: i got us both in trouble :| | 21:31 |
| Jordan_U | QuiltPants: If nothing else you can use devilspie | 21:31 |
| CogitoErgoSam | don't worry about the screen name unless you have multiple X sessions running | 21:31 |
| RomainK | Slart: I figured it out. | 21:31 |
| NeoPhoenix | infid: and after sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 21:31 |
| bikcmp | erm, I upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 last night, and now... a fair amount of stuff doesn't seem to be working. | 21:31 |
| Oddbio | stefg: it worked!! thanks for your help! I guess the BIOS reset did do the trick, it just started dark but it's bright now lol | 21:31 |
| RomainK | User error, I'm afraid, sort of. | 21:31 |
| bikcmp | In the top right corner, there's a black square, flash player isn't working... | 21:31 |
| infid | aperson: how do i reinstall it | 21:31 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: did you compile from source? 2.6 of denyhosts? or are you using it from repo's? | 21:32 |
| Barley | p1und3r: Nm, that whiny bitch is ever useless. When that happens, just change nick and network. | 21:32 |
| RomainK | I had some console options in grub, which apparently didn't make 9.10 sad, but 10.04 didn't like | 21:32 |
| aperson | infid, sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 21:32 |
| QuiltPants | Jordan_U: devilspie? sounds interesting. What does it do? | 21:32 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: Deal with the breaks after an update (this is a fresh install of 9.10 live cd) Last time I did it it wanted to install grub2 from the "pkg maintainer" and then I couldn't boot into anything... | 21:32 |
| CogitoErgoSam | AnxiousNut & soreau: Afk a min but I'll be right back | 21:32 |
| stefg | Oddbio: as i found in some linux developer blog (link above) it seems to have a broken acpi table | 21:32 |
| uncmar | soreau: oops. Sorry about all the $2 stuff. | 21:32 |
| uncmar | soreau: you can remove that section. :P | 21:32 |
| soreau | uncmar: It still gives vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused \n Unable to connect to VNC server | 21:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyler_d, repo wouldn't think that would make that much of a difference | 21:32 |
| CogitoErgoSam | RomainK if you mean boot params you can add them back in to the /etc/default/grub file in the right spot then run update-grub | 21:32 |
| ircipimp | hi. can i use the live cd to do an encrypted lvm + raid installation? or will i need the alternate installer? | 21:33 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: What happened when you tried to boot? Do you have more than one hard drive? | 21:33 |
| infid | aperson: why aptitude instead of apt? | 21:33 |
| xckpd7 | having a hard time figuring out where to ask this question: is it bad to set in my hosts file, another ip address equal to localhost? will that break anything? | 21:33 |
| Jordan_U | ircipimp: You'll need the alternate | 21:33 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: Yes, and multi os's too. | 21:33 |
| NeoPhoenix | aptitude or apt are the same | 21:33 |
| aperson | infid, my preference, I suppose. aptitude is a package manager like synaptic. | 21:33 |
| RomainK | CogitoErgoSam: it's what I had to do, yeah. Booted to rescue, cryptsetup'd my volumes, mounted, shell, edit grub, etc. :) | 21:33 |
| aperson | NeoPhoenix, not entirely true | 21:33 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: I couldn't even boot into the ubuntu install after. | 21:33 |
| wng- | I'm not getting any sound from my Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio in 10.04, the system sees it in lspci, and reports its using the snd_ca0106 module, and alsamixer shows all channels unmuted and at full volume, but im still not getting sound, any ideas? | 21:33 |
| ircipimp | Jordan_U: thanks | 21:33 |
| Oddbio | stefg: oh did you see my last message? It's working now :) thanks for your help... or do you think the broken acpi table is going to cause other issues? | 21:34 |
| infid | great now google chrome isnt restoring my last opened tabs :( | 21:34 |
| dk0 | Does anyone know how to connect empathy, pidgin, or kopete to a sametime server? | 21:34 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: maybe yes or no, I would recommend compile from source though... possibly running "wireshark" or another such util to sniff while tailing your output log, see what corresponds for errors and network access | 21:34 |
| NeoPhoenix | use firefox :D | 21:34 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: I recommend you install grub-pc from lucid, unfortunately grub-pc in karmic stores the device to install grub to like "/dev/sda", which means that if your drive order changes it coud install grub to the wrong drive on upgrades. | 21:34 |
| stefg | Oddbio: watch out for your cpu temp and battery life... | 21:35 |
| aperson | Pirate_Hunter, and if installing from source, make a .deb with checkinstall to avoid a headache later | 21:35 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: sorry, wireshark = ethereal | 21:35 |
| aperson | Jordan_U, I swear karmic went by uuids | 21:35 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: What's the best way to do that? | 21:35 |
| Oddbio | stefg: is that in general? Or is Ubuntu hard on this laptop model? My battery is pretty much shot already though, I dont' mind that. | 21:35 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: And is that before or after I update? | 21:36 |
| Jordan_U | aperson: For finding kernels and everything else yes, for install devices no :( | 21:36 |
| axolote | linuxgecko: sorry about that. i have no idea. mine is i855 and i finally found a work around that involved re-enabling kms, and that's working solidly now. I posted it here , #118. http://is.gd/bOW4X | 21:36 |
| uncmar | soreau: look at the output of: DISPLAY=:0.0 x11vnc | 21:36 |
| Oddbio | stefg: but I'll monitor the temp, thanks for the heads up | 21:36 |
| uncmar | soreau: does it say it is using port 5900 ? | 21:36 |
| littlepenguin | uncmar does this start the application on disply 0? | 21:37 |
| infid | aperson: i still dont have flash in my browsers even after reinstalling that :( | 21:37 |
| guest1 | can some one please help... I have a strange problem | 21:37 |
| soreau | uncmar: http://pastebin.org/201810 | 21:37 |
| littlepenguin | ask guest | 21:37 |
| aperson | Jordan_U, I remember when I installed initially, the /boot/grub/grub.cfg pointed to a /dev/sdx (which was wrong anyways),but once I temp. fixed that and ran update-grub, everything went back to uuids | 21:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | aperson, got that already safes a lot of trouble and tyler_d I really don't suspect that source would make that much of a difference to the repo, both would be compiled similar, it just seems like more work that is not needed unless your certain that is the problem | 21:37 |
| aperson | infid, you're re-starting the browser, yes? | 21:37 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: Before you update, install these packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/grub-pc http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/grub-common | 21:37 |
| infid | yes | 21:38 |
| Maddin1 | Does anyone has a link to a howto for editing the grub.cfg in ubuntu 10.4 ? | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: Or just upgrade to / install 10.04 | 21:38 |
| Maddin1 | a good howto | 21:38 |
| aperson | Pirate_Hunter, indeed. I just like to make sure everyone knows about checkinstall | 21:38 |
| wng- | I'm not getting any sound from my Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio in 10.04, the system sees it in lspci, and reports its using the snd_ca0106 module, and alsamixer shows all channels unmuted and at full volume, but im still not getting sound, any ideas? | 21:38 |
| uncmar | littlepenguin: yes. | 21:38 |

| stefg | !grub | Maddin1 | 21:38 |
| ubottu | Maddin1: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 21:38 |
| NeoPhoenix | sorry all i have a question if possible to help, i have a 8600 gt nvidia who work very well in windows for game in 1600*1200 but in ubuntu i have 1360*768 with driver nvidia ; i think that my graphical card is bad with linux ; if anyone has a card who work in 1600*1200 can he say the name of the card plz ? :D | 21:38 |
| Maddin1 | thx | 21:38 |
| stefg | !grub2 | Maddin1 | 21:38 |
| ubottu | Maddin1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 21:38 |
| jedro | hi | 21:38 |
| aperson | Maddin1, you don't edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 21:38 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: I would upgrade but I've been seeing alot of the probs folks have been having with it... :P | 21:38 |
| Jordan_U | aperson: This is separate from what goes in your grub.cfg, "debconf-show grub-pc" will show you the value stored for install devices | 21:38 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: I would go that route on the basis that you don't know what is the problem... process of elimination, just on a ps. Why not just have a batch that adds people to the hosts.deny(colleague just suggested) | 21:38 |
| littlepenguin | i have 2 monitor twin view..but how can i adjust to open in the left or right monitor | 21:39 |
| whileimhere | hi I just upgraded to 10.04 and now I am missing my gnome desktop. I get part of a panel at the top but when I try to add more icons or another panel all the options are greyed out | 21:39 |
| whileimhere | anyone know whats up with this? | 21:39 |
| jedro | hi | 21:39 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: People have problems with every release, I don't think 10.04 has any more problems than 9.10 (and what problems there are are more likely to be fixed since it's LTS) | 21:39 |

| MTughan_web | I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 here, and have a problem with UIDs. I changed my Ubuntu UID from 1000 to 500 to match what I use in Fedora (this is a dual-boot system) so that I can access my files without root. That change removed me from the user list at login though. Is there any way to fix that? | 21:40 |

| ph0xide | cand anybody pelase adise | 21:41 |
| soreau | uncmar: maybe it has something to do with the fact that the host is soft locked, stuck on tty1 and not responding to any input (only can ssh to see everything is still running) | 21:41 |
| littlepenguin | mcgee sounds like a rape of a computer | 21:42 |

| theGman | Jordan_U: I couldn't boot into any of my OS's, so I just re-installed fresh, however, it was installed to a usb drive so not sure if that was the issue. It might bave been what you said about the /dev/sda? thing more so that anything else. | 21:45 |

| soreau | uncmar: Still the same message | 21:45 |
| MTughan_web | soreau: Who said it had to be iptables? | 21:45 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: I suggest wireshark(which is just a graphical front) as its derived from ethereal and provides you with EVERYTHING... so its extremely thorough for sniffing your packets, and being native usually gets my vote. Nice to have in your arsenal. | 21:45 |
| Barley | littlepenguin: Oh, you never get to blaim beer. We love beer ! :) | 21:46 |
| soreau | MTughan_web: Me | 21:46 |
| theGman | Jordan_U: But I can leave it set to the (hd0,0) that it was wanting to this time. I've installed to the HD instead of usb hd. | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | theGman: You might also want to have super grub2 disk on hand to be able to boot your other OSs if anything goes wrong. | 21:46 |

| Barley | MTughan_web: man useradd. use uid and gid to specify what numbers they should be listed as. 500 is for regular users and up. | 21:49 |
| stefg | stryk3r: so sda 5 is your Linux partition , right? | 21:49 |
| tyler_d | Pirate_Hunter: and to back up the point on source and compiling, alot of things from source don't have versioning, so the check is simply to meet the dependance (has python) or (has kernel) then grabs generic and installs... when compiling you are actually using and referencing system specifics ie. Python v. 2.6 and Kernel blah blah blah..... Just my thoughts though, Good Luck :) | 21:49 |
| stryk3r | stefg, nevermind the bottom part of the pastebin, thats an external hard drive and can't use that | 21:49 |
| MTughan_web | Barley: My user exists. Just not on the GUI login menu. | 21:49 |
| stryk3r | stefg yes thats it | 21:49 |
| solidsnake204 | How can I restore the menu files for the menu? It got deleted and now I have no menu. | 21:49 |
| NeoPhoenix | bye bye all | 21:50 |
| stefg | stryk3r: and that'S sort of 50G in size ? | 21:50 |
| MTughan_web | Seems GDM just shows UIDs 1000 and higher, although Fedora's starts from 500 or below. | 21:50 |
| stryk3r | stefg exactly | 21:50 |
| Barley | MTughan_web: Then its got a false shell or a non-existent home directory. | 21:50 |
| Maddin1 | well user defined entries are a lil bit short on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 21:50 |
| MTughan_web | Barley: Neither of which. | 21:50 |
| zenta | axolote: ok i will check, but u know why i did this because i have problem in boot i can get my winxp , and redhat so i tried to update to grub2 | 21:50 |
| Barley | MTughan_web: You have removed its group ? | 21:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | tyler_d, no problem will definitely take a look at wireshark and make some comparison, on the note for denyhosts will check out the source and compile it under vm first see if I can note down any problems, thanks for the info | 21:51 |
| Jordan_U | Maddin1: Have you tried just "sudo update-grub"? | 21:51 |
| kim__ | does anyone know why my cpu jumpes from 800MHz to 1.8MHz? | 21:51 |
| MTughan_web | kim__: The CPU can be slowed down to save power and heat. | 21:51 |
| trism | MTughan_web: correct, gdm (in ubuntu anyway) hides users with uids less than 1000 | 21:51 |
| kim__ | oke | 21:51 |
| stefg | stryk3r: that'S plenty for a Linux root.... you can get away with a / (root) of 10G. Is there already much stuff in your /home? | 21:51 |
| MTughan_web | Barley: No. I had an existing user that showed up in the menu, which I just changed the UID of, and it disappeared. | 21:51 |
| kim__ | thanks | 21:51 |
| MTughan_web | trism: Any way to show a user with a UID of 500? | 21:52 |

| soreau | CogitoErgoSam: I think the problem is that even though I can ssh into the machine and start a vnc server, its not fully functional because the machine is soft locked, stuck on tty1 and no input works. but ssh shows it is still running everything | 21:59 |
| stefg | stryk3r: yup... and even if you 8G and never hibernate i'd still use a little swap partition for compatibilty reasons | 21:59 |
| n06 | coz_: thanks | 21:59 |
| djzn | I wonder why apps like empathy and evolution are storing the crap out of its own directory settings all over the .hidden dirs | 21:59 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: Want to go to a private convo and we can work on gettin this sorted out for ya? | 21:59 |
| CogitoErgoSam | soreau: I'll help you check to make sure no other programs are usin the port | 21:59 |
| MTughan_web | trism: Thanks, worked perfectly. | 21:59 |
| Xcell | check | 21:59 |
| trevor | is there something wrong with the emerald in the 10.04 repos, it crashes seconds after i launch it every time | 21:59 |
| trism | MTughan_web: excellent, you're welcome | 21:59 |
| stryk3r | stefg alright, so I should give 10gb to ubuntu + 10gb to mint and make the swap then the rest for a /home. sounds good? | 21:59 |
| juanca | wildbat: how do I know the letter? | 21:59 |
| octet | why i cant send files with empathy on yahoo ? | 21:59 |
| Jordan_U | Maddin1: I assume that an entry for the recovery environment comes up when you boot, and that you can't boot windows 7 normally from there? | 21:59 |
| zenta | axolote: no b4 it was work normaly but no bootloader selection so i made boot from live cd ubuntu and i change grub seting afetr that i didnt find winxp and redhat | 22:00 |
| stefg | stryk3r: basically yes. i'd put the swap at the end. How much RAM do you have ? | 22:00 |
| dupondje | hmz, seems like I can't add facebook account to gwibber :( | 22:00 |
| wildbat | juanca, do a 'fdisk -l' look for it | 22:00 |
| stryk3r | stefg lets say I want to add another 20gb to the linux extended partition, can I just take it off of windows and added to the extended, or would I have to remake the extended partition? | 22:00 |
| stryk3r | stefg, I have 4gb RAM | 22:00 |
| soreau | uncmar: Thanks for you help so far man, I will let you know if I ever get it to work | 22:00 |
| smittix | Anyone else had any problems with laptop fan and ATI drivers? | 22:00 |
| djzn | is anyone experiencing major segfaults with lucid ? yesterday I could not even get gnome operating after load.... everytime I was going to execute a terminal or file manager, libc6-2.11.1 would segfault.... the only solution was to dump that user account and startover another one | 22:01 |
| uncmar | soreau: It appears that vnc isn't opening the port to listen too. | 22:01 |
| Lachezar | djzn: check your memory. there is memtest on boot. | 22:01 |
| wildbat | stryk3r, gparted can do partition resize | 22:01 |
| soreau | uncmar: yea it seems that way | 22:01 |
| juanca | wildbat: nothing | 22:01 |
| djzn | Lachezar: which is the key to call menu grub right after before boot? | 22:01 |
| Lachezar | djzn: Escape, doesn't it display? | 22:02 |
| acerimmer | djzn: ESC iirc | 22:02 |
| wildbat | juanca, sudo fdisk -l ~ you need root access | 22:02 |
| djzn | ok | 22:02 |
| stryk3r | wildbat, right | 22:02 |
| djzn | Lachezar: well it doesnt seem like Memory, because I had another account which was working JUST fine... at the same time | 22:02 |
| uncmar | soreau: that is why I was trying to force different ports like, 5911. | 22:02 |
| stefg | stryk3r: don't touch the extended partition without making a backup first. you can resize that with gparted, but shifting around logical partitions inside an extended partition is slow. SO slow that you might consider taking a backup, redo your partiion layout and restore afterwards | 22:02 |
| Lachezar | djzn: upgrades tend to take more memory and exhibit errors not previously hit. been there, done that :( | 22:03 |
| soreau | uncmar: Can you verify that you can ssh into a machine that is on tty1 (while X is on some other tty) | 22:03 |
| uncmar | soreau: I use a different port by default, well, because I like to use different ports. And to avoid blockingg issues. | 22:03 |
| Lachezar | jdzn: doesn't hurt (much) anyway. | 22:03 |
| soreau | uncmar: Sorry, I meant s/ssh/vnc | 22:04 |
| stryk3r | stefg yea I got a backup already. can I just delete the extended partition and then reduce the 20gb from windows to have a total of 70gb free and then create a new extended partition? | 22:04 |
| uncmar | soreau: are box1 or box2 visible from outside. Such as from me? | 22:04 |
| stryk3r | whatever I do, I don't want that process that takes very long time, Its happened to me by accident and its a pain, stefg | 22:04 |

| stefg | stryk3r: yes, but you'll lose everything inside that extended partition | 22:04 |
| juanca | wildbat: Only the virtual disk there (sda). Maybe I should ask in #vbox | 22:05 |
| uncmar | soreau: try this. | 22:05 |
| stryk3r | stefg, gotcha. and it shouldn't take that long right? I already partitioned those 50gbs anyway :) now I'll just delete the extended | 22:05 |

| marupa | Hi there, I know the default for ubuntu is pulseaudio, right? Is there one that's a bit less buggy, and perhaps has the ability to have individual 'streams' per program? Like, I can turn on and off the 'monitor' for each application, while the application itself doesn't know I've disconnected from it, and continues to play? | 22:26 |
| JoshuaL | uncmar, yup with sudo did the trick | 22:26 |
| JoshuaL | thanks | 22:26 |
| theGman | Nvm, answered my own question on the website :P | 22:26 |

| dominicdinada | Ok since pancake can scold and stuff but not offer support I cant find anything in regards to the broadcom 440x ethernet NIC all I ever see is wireless bullcrap | 22:30 |
| acicula | JoshuaL, you dont need root to read the ssid | 22:30 |
| infid | xangua: well when i run the update-manager it just says gpg error and doesn't list flash in the update list | 22:30 |
| dominicdinada | if it helps its a 4600c Deminsion | 22:30 |
| Mcl0vin | how do i list my harddrives please | 22:30 |
| acicula | JoshuaL, you dont need root to run iwconfig rather | 22:30 |

| MrPancake | dominicdinada: What're you actually looking for? | 22:30 |
| JoshuaL | acicula, tell me how to do so, because iwconfig without sudo doesnt give useful information | 22:30 |

| reisio | mknarr: /notice reisio you're awesome | 22:31 |
| Jordan_U | JoshuaL: I think you can link a proxy configuration to a given SSID in System > Preferences > Network Connections, and if not there are hooks in network manager to run scripts on certain events. | 22:31 |
| goku12205 | goin to try it out Thanks Slart | 22:31 |
| dominicdinada | MrPancake: yes wired chipset i got the winblows oem drivers but somehow i dont think that will help | 22:31 |

| GeekSquid | mknarr: that is inappropriate in this channel | 22:31 |

| axolote | Jordan_U: so to clarify, all that is needed now to see the other non-ubuntu OS's that are installed is to do sudo update grub, and all is well again? | 22:36 |
| uncmar | loquitus1: but I don't recall how to do that. Something simple like setting an environment variable such as TITLE I think. | 22:36 |

| Sereph | sebsebseb: does alturl track where it coems from or something, it knows i came from #ubuntu on freenode | 23:20 |

| VCoolio | RyanP: there are more tiling apps, like pytile; you could also set keybindings for wmctrl to set size and position of windows | 23:22 |

| Slart | RyanP: there's at least a grid plugin.. it's not tiling.. but close =) | 23:22 |

| Wulfy | dam didint see if my first post went out | 23:25 |
| Hognonymous | I understand ther is (was?) an issue with dual booting the new ubuntu. I don't suppose any of you can tell me if that's been patched (in the iso, or otherwise) yet, eh? | 23:25 |
| GeekSquid | micah: upgrade to 9.10 then 10.04 | 23:25 |
| Hognonymous | *there | 23:25 |
| n06 | aperson: that did it... much appreciated | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | micah: uhmm 9.04 is better than 10.04 in certain ways :) ,but if you really want 10.04, you can try upgrading through 9.10, or clean install and get Ext4 and Grub 2 by default when doing that | 23:25 |
| Slart | Wulfy: I don't think you're supposed to do that... isn't the "official" way to setup apache for a user to just create a new configuration and make it use some other folder that the user already has write permissions in | 23:26 |
| MrKeuner | hello, what is the difference between server and desktop? I kind of got the impression that the fact that I am using this system as a server may not make it a "server". | 23:26 |
| micah | sebsebseb: what sort of ways is it better? | 23:26 |
| === ozzloy_ is now known as ozzloy | ||
| sebsebseb | micah: 9.04 is still supported untill the end of October, so it's still good to use | 23:26 |
| Sereph | is there a reason it was changed from third party software to other software? | 23:26 |
| aperson | n06, if you ever happen to use opera, let me know if two-finger scrolling un-enables you to turn off mouse gestures :) | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | micah: depends on the user, and to some extent maybe their hardware | 23:26 |
| Sereph | MrKeuner: server doesnt have a window manager | 23:26 |
| Sereph | MrKeuner: aka a GUI | 23:26 |
| acicula | MrKeuner, some defaults are different, and the server edition has a longer support cycle | 23:26 |
| plouffe | is there a way to deactivate a proprietary driver (system>hardware drivers) without uninstalling it and having to re-download it next time? | 23:26 |
| Slart | MrKeuner: server has only a text based interface by default.. and it uses slightly different kernel settings afaik | 23:26 |
| sebsebseb | !server | MrKeuner | 23:26 |
| ubottu | MrKeuner: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 8.04. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/index.html - Use the #ubuntu-server channel for support | 23:26 |
| Grizmawe | Wulfy, you could always add yourself to the www-data group | 23:27 |
| Wulfy | slart ... i feel so elnglihtend now | 23:27 |
| acicula | MrKeuner, like some permisisons are set differently, the kernel is tweaked for server loads, etc | 23:27 |
| fbxxkl | Kubuntu is for kde ubuntu so what is gnome ubuntu? gubuntu? | 23:27 |
| Grizmawe | Wulfy: you could always add yourself to the www-data group | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Pici: the server factoid should be updated by the way, to say that 10.04 is now the latest LTS version | 23:27 |
| plouffe | ubuntu is gnome ubuntu | 23:27 |

| fbxxkl | I am trying to have dual monitor system where one monitor is my desktop and the second is an extension where I can place windows I am having some difficulties though | 23:28 |
| MonkeyZazu | does any one know how to compile the linux kernel? | 23:28 |
| acicula | MrKeuner, there is no distinction really, not for consumer hardware | 23:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | !kernel > MonkeyZazu | 23:28 |
| ubottu | MonkeyZazu, please see my private message | 23:28 |
| aperson | acicula, I don't see a special kernel for ubuntu-server, so I don't see how it's tweaked for being a server | 23:28 |
| Sereph | fbxxkl: what kind of graphics card? | 23:28 |
| MrKeuner | acicula, I did server installation and installed ubuntu-desktop on top it | 23:29 |
| fbxxkl | Sereph: It is an nvidia gtx250 | 23:29 |
| iDope | MrKeuner: it generally means processor that were marketed for use with Servers (eg. Xeon, Opteron etc) but as far as what can be done with them goes.. they are like normal processors.. just with different strengths and weaknesses | 23:29 |
| Sereph | fbxxkl: did you install the driver? | 23:29 |
| fbxxkl | Sereph: yes | 23:29 |

| yacek23 | anyone knows why? | 23:30 |
| datta | in ubuntu 10.04 gwibber's not showing up | 23:30 |
| Sereph | fbxxkl: its under x server display configuration, you set the second one to be a twinview monitor by pressing the configure button, make sure you apply it and if it works save it to the x config | 23:31 |
| zenta | hello all, i have this issue E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | micah: Your on a version of Ubuntu that is still supported, are you sure you really want to upgrade? Probably not, for example do you like the colour purple? Do you want built in features for Facebook and Twitter? | 23:31 |
| Grizmawe | Wulfy, The way I work is to set up a srv directory, add my files there and then make a virtual site in apache - make the files that are to be served readable by www-data | 23:31 |
| micah | sebsebseb: this is an HP pavilion, and the user is a very basic desktop user | 23:31 |

| MonkeyZazu | awsome | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | Sereph: well that's the new Ubuntu colour | 23:32 |
| acicula | MonkeyZazu, why do you need to recompile the kernel, if you are a first time user? | 23:32 |
| MonkeyZazu | this program .... awsome | 23:32 |
| aperson | MonkeyZazu, feel free to talk about how awesome it is in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:32 |
| micah | sebsebseb: this is a friend's computer, and I'm only here for the next week, so the upgrade has to happen now, or in another year | 23:32 |
| Sereph | sebsebseb: i know isnt it great (sarcasm) | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | Sereph: and the purple they are using has a proper name abuguine or whatever it's called | 23:32 |
| MonkeyZazu | oh, im learning linux+ | 23:32 |
| MonkeyZazu | comptia exam | 23:32 |
| MonkeyZazu | yea | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | micah: oh ok in that case go for it I guess, but probably best to clean install | 23:32 |
| fbxxkl | Sereph: when I do twin view it makes two desktop instances I can't do seperate actions in the monitor | 23:32 |
| aperson | MonkeyZazu, well, that's more of a subject for the ot channel, this channel is strictly for support | 23:32 |

| n06 | ok thanks a bunch guys.. i'm liking linux more by the minute lol | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | micah: good idea to check the ISO of 10.04 once you have it by the way, you can md5sum, but also sha1sum and sha2sum or whatever it is | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | micah: check ISO is good before burning contents to CD and installing Ubuntu, I mean | 23:34 |
| acicula | frankbro, formulating a support question will get you help quicker and better then just uttering a random unspecific complaint? | 23:34 |
| _pg_ | anyone know good network security channel? | 23:34 |

| Wulfy | _pg_ yup | 23:36 |
| _pg_ | Wulfy: k thanks | 23:36 |
| ascheel | benkong, I know how to dual boot. i've read that entry. Windows was there before. It is still there now and is detected by grub2. It simply doesn't boot when I choose it. | 23:36 |
| baddog | Hi, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a Live USB, but it hangs on startup, staying at the loading screen seemingly forever. :/ My motherboard is a Gigabyte P55-UD3 | 23:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | CytotoxicTCell, you can only have 4 Logical partitions as a BIOS limitation, so you need to factor that into the move | 23:36 |
| CytotoxicTCell | well i mest up the partitioning and have 100GB out of an extended partition | 23:36 |
| CytotoxicTCell | so 100GB of unused space | 23:36 |
| Grizmawe | Wulfy, cant find it. This one seems reasonable: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html | 23:36 |
| RyanP | soreau: Thanks. | 23:37 |

| aperson | CytotoxicTCell, if you care to go into exact details, you can pastebin a sudo fdisk -l | 23:37 |
| RyanP | Slart: As far as I can see, it's not. | 23:37 |

| Wulfy | Grizmawe, i think my days with WHM/cpanel has made me a bit soft so used to doing this kind of thing via those tools | 23:38 |
| Slart | RyanP: nope.. I'm still looking around to see if there is another way of adding plugins for compiz.. other than the repository way | 23:38 |
| aperson | storrgie, though I can still boot | 23:38 |

| liddell | Hello friends! I have a problem here I wonder if anybody might have some insight on: I decided to switch my video card drivers from the default xorg ati one to the fglrx one, and my system started booting straight to a command line. I tried removing the fglrx driver and it gives me some error about not being able to remove it. I am booted into a liveCD right now - I tried the command chroot to try and run synaptic to uninstall fglrx a | 23:41 |
| liddell | nd put back the xorg driver on my non-live system but it gives me some error about not being able to fork py. Is there a better way to go about this? Thanks! | 23:41 |
| infid | are there any downsides to doing a release upgrade, rather than formatting/reinstalling? | 23:41 |
