| randal | ElementalWarrior, you can even chage the resolution of the boot up manager | 00:00 |
| dominicdinada | edbain as for reverting to an older linux i am unsure about that | 00:00 |
| Frantic | can someone tell me if there's a way to make the KDE4 task manager widget pin programs just like a dock? I've been rebooting to windows7 for SC2 recently and I really think the guys at MS got the taskbar right :) | 00:00 |
| nrodine | ok, I will just wait for a patch... | 00:00 |
| edbian | airtonix, dominicdinada, careful not to confuse causation and correlation. I noticed a correlation between instability and up-to-dateness of linux distros. Debian stable is much more stable then ubuntu 10.04 because ubuntu is based on debian testing ;) I am using debian stable | 00:00 |
| nrodine | For reals | 00:00 |
| randal | Does anyone know how to make the menus transparent in the top panel thz | 00:00 |
| Jordan_U | ElementalWarrior: You'd have to either install it to the PBR (which is not recommended) or setup ntldr to load grub. If the F12 option you are talking about is in your BIOS I doubt it allows you to specify a partition rather than a drive. | 00:01 |
| ElementalWarrior | I think it does, im not sure | 00:01 |
| ElementalWarrior | I'll check and come back | 00:01 |
| ElementalWarrior | lol | 00:01 |
| airtonix | ElementalWarrior, this is correct. bios can only see drives not partitions. | 00:01 |
| coolbtk | I'm having a problem with 10.04 and my video cards. I have a custom built computer with a ATI Radeon 4870X2, and the integrated card is a Radeon 3300. On Ubuntu 9.10 x64, the 4870X2 worked perfectly. I did a clean install of 10.04 and now the 4870X2 won't work with my TV anymore. What's worse is that while the integrated card works, Ubuntu seems to think that it is an NVidia card. Anyone have any thoughts? | 00:02 |
| dominicdinada | edbain: ubuntu was based on debain by an older developer :) but ya back to my point how to restart or gain access back... cough in windows you just kill explorer.exe and then run it again... i cant figure out what is cause/controling this problem | 00:02 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, I'm sorry that linux is not going well for you right now. I suggest you have patience with it. It will pay off eventually | 00:02 |
| Ddorda | where's empathy directory? | 00:02 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, You can re-start the whole X-server (more server, ends your programs, and you have to log back in) ctrl + sysRq + k | 00:02 |
| ElementalWarrior | why isnt it recommended to install to pbr? | 00:02 |
| randal | Does anyone know how to make the menus transparent in the top panel thz | 00:02 |
| airtonix | Ddorda, in terminal : locate empathy | grep /home | 00:02 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, otherwise "killall nautilus" and "killall gnome-panel" ought to be pretty close to killing explorer.exe (not identical though!) | 00:03 |
| dominicdinada | edbain again no i cant this always happens at critical times as now downloading or transfering things | 00:03 |
| randal | ElementalWarrior, why cant you use grub? | 00:03 |
| studentz | randal check this link http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/enable-rgba-transparency-in-ubuntu-910.html | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | ElementalWarrior: There is not enough room in the PBR to store code to read from a filesystem, so grub (or any other bootloader) would need to use blocklists, which are unreliable. | 00:03 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, You're misspelling my name ;) | 00:03 |
| randal | studentz, thz | 00:03 |
| dominicdinada | lol opps | 00:03 |
| airtonix | !tab | dominicdinada | 00:04 |
| ubottu | dominicdinada: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:04 |
| studentz | randal no problem | 00:04 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, I'm sorry what do you mean you can't? What exactly is the problem / what are you trying to accomplish? | 00:04 |
| Ddorda | airtonix: erm.. didn't find anything really... | 00:04 |
| ElementalWarrior | while im fine with grub, I just would rather it be using the windows bootloader | 00:04 |
| ElementalWarrior | brb | 00:04 |
| dementor | hy i try to instal plesk but i cant i get this >http://nopaste.info/e51ca8a6f1.html | 00:04 |
| dominicdinada | airtonix ummm thanks for the info it seems as though a side effect of this problem is now i cant tab names | 00:04 |
| dominicdinada | edbian oh i cant restart for some time... I am trying to recover the other windows from the gnome panel | 00:05 |
| studentz | ElementalWarrior Windows bootloader assume that they are the only OS n doe not let any other OS install | 00:05 |
| airtonix | Ddorda, have you launched empathy yet ? | 00:05 |
| Ddorda | airtonix: yes | 00:05 |
| airtonix | Ddorda, 1. run gconf-editor 2. navigate : /apps/empathy 3. ??? 4. profit | 00:06 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, I still don't understand. I'm sorry. What do you mean "recover windows from the gnome-panel" Is the panel frozen? | 00:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Fandekasp_: i would just add 'adm' back to the the user2 group for now. i tested it. i really don't know what the 'adm' group is and i removed it from my 'testbaby' user and it made no difference. it had no effect. so you might just want to leave users as part of the 'asm' group until you find out what it is. earlier... that was kind of a typo of mine anyway. i meant 'admin' group | 00:06 |
| studentz | ElementalWarrior I like Grub but there are a lot of third party ($) software to accomplish multiples OS installation | 00:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Fandekasp_: 'asm' = 'adm' | 00:06 |
| dominicdinada | edbian: well yea it wont let me open the other running or open windows back up... even if i kill the process's they still are stuck on the panel | 00:06 |
| habanany | hey guys . I having a hard time after I installed windows dual boot after ubuntu. help!!! | 00:07 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: is that file in your home dir? | 00:07 |
| dementor | ies | 00:07 |
| Fandekasp_ | onetinsoldier, yes I understand. but the user is not part of the admin group... I've found a solution, by adding an alias top='top -u user2' into the bashrc, but it's really poor ... | 00:07 |
| studentz | habanany more inf | 00:07 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, The panel is frozen and showing applications that aren't running anymore. Is that correct? Really the only option then is to re-start the panel. Those applications are gone. Does that makes sense? | 00:07 |
| dominicdinada | if I could take a screen shot i would but i cant even copy to clipboard either :( | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | studentz: ElementalWarrior quit to confirm that his BIOS will only allow him to choose between drives. | 00:07 |
| habanany | I cant' boot ubuntu | 00:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Fandekasp_: i hear you. still better than nothing ;-) | 00:08 |
| airtonix | !details | habanany | 00:08 |
| ubottu | habanany: 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 ..." | 00:08 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: try apt-get install deb file | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | !grub2 | habanany | 00:08 |
| ubottu | habanany: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 00:08 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, Can you open a terminal? | 00:08 |
| dominicdinada | edbian: some are not running but some still are | 00:08 |
| valium | hi all - can anyone confirm if the package in 10.4 'samba4' is samba version3 and not the beta of Samba v4 | 00:08 |
| habanany | ok thanks | 00:08 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, Is the panel completely frozen and you can't open a terminal? | 00:08 |
| dementor | ok i try | 00:08 |
| dominicdinada | edbian: yes i can open the terminal but i still can my file operations running will this kill those? | 00:09 |
| Time`s_Witness | i just installed ubuntu on my laptop, i connect to my wireless network, its connected as i see in ubuntu and from my router checking connected hosts, however i have no internet on it. if i try to ping an ip from it i get Destination Host unreachable. How can i solve this please? :X | 00:09 |
| edbian | dominicdinada, Say that again without the typos. I don't understand | 00:09 |
| _blackwater_ | valium samba4 | 00:09 |
| dementor | <BlAck6j73> stiil not work | 00:09 |
| studentz | Jordan_U each HD has its own MBR and Grub, Wiin, MAC OSX and all third party software will replace it | 00:09 |
| valium | blackwater - its samba4 beta? | 00:10 |
| Fandekasp_ | onetinsoldier, no I don't think it's good enough. In fact I would like to prevent softwares to sniff my computer (poker software do this). And if the software launch a top command, I don't think it will be aliased by the bashrc | 00:10 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: do you have nc installed? | 00:10 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: do you have mc installed? opps | 00:10 |
| Ddorda | airtonix: didn't find such a thing | 00:10 |
| dementor | mc ? i am new | 00:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Fandekasp_: roger. keep asking your question to the channel, like about every 5 minutes or so. someone will probably know. or, try posting in the ubuntu forums | 00:11 |
| coolbtk | Hello. I have a custom built computer with a ATI Radeon 4870X2, and the integrated card is a Radeon 3300. On Ubuntu 9.10 x64, the 4870X2 worked perfectly. I did a clean install of 10.04 and now the 4870X2 won't work with my TV anymore. What's worse is that while the integrated card works, Ubuntu seems to think that it is an NVidia card. Anyone have any thoughts? | 00:11 |
| Fandekasp_ | onetinsoldier, ok thank you a lot for your help | 00:11 |
| _blackwater_ | valium samba4 is alpha in the repos | 00:12 |
| valium | blackwater - so why is it the main samba package in the server 10.4 LTS? | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Fandekasp_: sure, you're welcome | 00:12 |
| valium | blackwater - i cant find the samba3 package on any of the 2 servers i just installed | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | anyone know the difference between the 'adm' group and the 'admin' group? | 00:12 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: try again make sure is has .deb at the end | 00:12 |
| Kutakizukari | what do you type to save a nano file? | 00:13 |
| dementor | ok | 00:13 |
| _blackwater_ | exalt ctrl x and y | 00:13 |
| edbian | Kutakizukari, Control + X It should ask you (assuming you made changes) | 00:13 |
| studentz | katakizukary control X and choose Y | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | coolbtk: Could you pastebin the output of "lspci"? | 00:13 |
| deco | why is it that when i turn on my desktop , it's consuming 840MB of ram so i restart and it's only consuming 180MB of ram now.. i restart again and it's consuming 800MB of ram again | 00:14 |
| deco | it's not X , x is only consuming 21MB | 00:14 |
| coolbtk | Jordan_U: sure. give me just a second to run that on that machine | 00:14 |
| deco | so no bad video driver | 00:14 |
| dementor | <BlAck6j73> thx theat make the jib | 00:14 |
| edbian | deco, Use the system monitor and determine exactly what is consuming it | 00:15 |
| Kutakizukari | thank you | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Hello. if i make a user and he is not part of the 'admin' group, and i take him out of the 'adm' group, why can he still see all running processes from all users with the following command? --> ps aux | 00:15 |
| deco | edbian: i did and it's not telling me | 00:15 |
| BlAck6j73 | dementor: np | 00:15 |
| deco | edbian: just little processes like 21mb they are not adding up to 800MB | 00:15 |
| edbian | deco, Does it not list enough things? What's telling you that it is taking 800mb then? | 00:16 |
| joaopinto | onetinsoldier, process lists are not user protected | 00:16 |
| deco | edbian: free -m | 00:16 |
| onetinsoldier | joaopinto: ok, roger. thanks | 00:16 |
| bastid_raZor | deco: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ may help understand free | 00:16 |
| deco | edbian: and on memory on system mananger | 00:16 |
| joaopinto | onetinsoldier, which is a reason to be cautious about using passwords on the command line | 00:16 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: i know how to use free | 00:16 |
| BlAck6j73 | onetinsoldier: other uses may see them but they cant stop them | 00:17 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: system monitor shows the same thing | 00:17 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: don't assume i don't know how to use it | 00:17 |
| joaopinto | I mean, plain text passwords as parameters | 00:17 |
| BossDJ | full screen mode using virtual server, wont work, any suggestions | 00:17 |
| BossDJ | theres a one inch black border around the whole ubuntu window | 00:17 |
| onetinsoldier | BlAck6j73: ahh, good :-) | 00:17 |
| edbian | deco, Free shows what is truly free. Mine says 933 while sys monitor says 344. The rest is "cached" what the system is keeping around cause it might be useful. Techincally it is open cause the system will give it up if needed. It's more complicated than simply "free" and "used" I'm afraid. | 00:18 |
| bastid_raZor | deco: using 'top' do you see applications using RAM? | 00:18 |
| BossDJ | virtual pc* | 00:18 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: yes i see some applications | 00:18 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: but they don't add up to 800mB of ram | 00:18 |
| edbian | deco, The linux stack is very good at handling ram! Sys monitor shows what is being used by currently running applications. free shows what is truly not being used by anything (not even the os itself) | 00:19 |
| bastid_raZor | deco: can you screenshot the output of free -m ? | 00:19 |
| deco | edbian: this never happens in other distros | 00:19 |
| deco | bastid_raZor: okay just a sec | 00:19 |
| hexmare | Is there anyway to have the install files for Ubuntu on a USB drive, Boot from the CD , and then start the Install from USB ( No the system does not support USB boot ) | 00:20 |
| edbian | deco, I'm using debian and the exact same thing is happening | 00:20 |
| deco | edbian: i mean ram consumption | 00:20 |
| deco | it's far less | 00:20 |
| deco | in other distros | 00:20 |
| linux_is_my_hero | anyone know if best buy's netflix-like service will actually support ubuntu/linux/etc? | 00:20 |
| Lazure | is there a particular reason why 9.10 livecd won't boot past the pulsing ubuntu logo on an old amd athlon XP machine with 512mb RAM, SB Live! sound card, and GeForce 2 video card? | 00:20 |
| bastid_raZor | linux_is_my_hero: ask bestbuy | 00:20 |
| Lazure | it just freezes on a black screen past the pulsing logo | 00:21 |
| studentz | linux_is_my_hero me too waiting for netflix in linux :( | 00:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | yeah i asked geek squad they looked at my funny for using linux. | 00:21 |
| edbian | deco, my system and ubuntu both use "preload" which uses significantly more ram but makes all the apps start faster (in fact it even prioritizes the apps you use the most) | 00:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | studentz: i use a virtualbox but i dont like it. | 00:21 |
| Lazure | edbian > like superfetch in windows 7 | 00:21 |
| edbian | deco, You might wanna try "apt-get remove preload" and see if it helps | 00:21 |
| edbian | Lazure, Yes | 00:21 |
| BossDJ | hey alex | 00:21 |
| linux_is_my_hero | edbian: why dont they just make hdd's and fsb's faster? | 00:22 |
| deco | edbian: i don't have preload | 00:22 |
| coolbtk | Jordan_U: well, internet on that computer is horrible at best and it's not working at all right now | 00:22 |
| scq | Hello! I am using Lynx, with separate partition for /home. I was wondering if re installation would affect /home? | 00:22 |
| studentz | linux_is_my_hero yep you can and vmware can virtualize video drivers But I want to be native in Linux | 00:22 |
| edbian | linux_is_my_hero, Making a hdd as fast as ram is pretty much impossibly right now but they're trying. | 00:22 |
| jon23 | Not sure what happened | 00:22 |
| coolbtk | so I will try again later when I can plug that computer in. thanks anyway. | 00:22 |
| jon23 | but ubuntu will not boot | 00:23 |
| linux_is_my_hero | studentz: yeah i agree id rather it just have linux support, for simplicity stability and speed | 00:23 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: only if you tell it to use the /home partition | 00:23 |
| edbian | deco, Then I'm not sure what is in all that cached ram space. | 00:23 |
| jon23 | i suspect it has something to do with messed up packages | 00:23 |
| deco | edbian: hmmm i wonder why it's just in ubuntu , 10.4 in particuler | 00:23 |
| jon23 | is there any package or system scanner from command line that i can use to i guess debug ubuntu | 00:23 |
| usuaria | Hola | 00:23 |
| edbian | deco, I am guessing it's the same feature I'm describing but implemented in different software. | 00:24 |
| deco | edbian: actually this has only happened in 10.4 | 00:24 |
| deco | hmmm | 00:24 |
| deco | yeah | 00:24 |
| linux_is_my_hero | edbian & deco: my first linux machine is having issues. my wifi logo doesn't show up on my panel, and that's if it boots. its also having issues with the nvidea drivers. everything was fine until a week after i upgraded. :-( | 00:24 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: During installation, what should i choose for /home partition? | 00:24 |
| deco | edbian: i'm kinda using this PC as a server too so this is really bad :S | 00:24 |
| nakw | how can iget the kernel source ? | 00:24 |
| onetinsoldier | usuaria: hello, hola | 00:24 |
| studentz | linux_is_my_hero I signed an open letter. I do not remember when and where. Now I'm trying 3D in my box with nvidia | 00:24 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: leave it alone unless you want to use it as home. the only way it will mess things up is you format it or the usernames are the same. | 00:25 |
| gartral | whats the command to control the auto screen poweroff function? | 00:25 |
| usuaria | Hola | 00:25 |
| edbian | linux_is_my_hero, When you get it to boot try adding the "notification area" applet to the panel. That's where the little network applet hides. | 00:25 |
| edbian | deco, I'm researching it | 00:25 |
| linux_is_my_hero | word | 00:26 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: what i do is while booted to the liveCD i change the username on the /home partition to username.old and then doing so will not matter and you have all your info on the partition | 00:26 |
| deco | edbian: bastid_raZor http://imagebin.org/97404 | 00:26 |
| deco | thanks | 00:26 |
| linux_is_my_hero | edbian: word. thanks :-) | 00:26 |
| sistemas_ | 1 | 00:26 |
| onetinsoldier | gartral: not sure for cmmand line, might be gnome-screensaver command. there's also.... gnome-screensaver-command and gnome-screensaver-preferences commands | 00:27 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: !!Your english is bit confusing..oh so if i want to use my current /home partition to be same and active after re-installation, i should leave the /home partition as it is, right? | 00:27 |
| greezmunkey | scq: short answer: ys | 00:28 |
| greezmunkey | yes | 00:28 |
| gartral | onetinsoldier: it's xset -dkms is what im thinking of.. but i want to force my monitor off from ssh | 00:28 |
| adante | anybody here ran memtest on a macbookpro before? i'm getting a stack of errors, just wondering if they are false positives as none of the mac diagnostic tools are picking them up | 00:28 |
| bgupta | Question about sshd. Weems the version in hardy hasn't been updated since 2008. Am I missing something? | 00:28 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: And why do i need to change username? | 00:28 |
| SealedWithAKiss | I'd like to upgrade my CPU, however I don't know what CPUs my motherboard will take. I'd like to upgrade to the maximum that my board can handle, I believe that I have a socket 775 Intel CPU at the moment. Can anybody help? | 00:28 |
| jrib | SealedWithAKiss: try ##hardware | 00:29 |
| SealedWithAKiss | My BIOS is the newest version. | 00:29 |
| deco | SealedWithAKiss: this is an ubuntu channel not hardware | 00:29 |
| SealedWithAKiss | join #hardware | 00:29 |
| jrib | bgupta: hardy was released in 2008, that makes sense. What's the issue? | 00:29 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: And why do i need to change username?? | 00:29 |
| onetinsoldier | gartral: roger. i haven't used the xset command in ages myself | 00:29 |
| ToothPick | #hardware = invite only | 00:30 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: if your /home has username scq on it.. then reinstalling and telling the installer to use /home (the seperate partition) with username scq then it will complain about it existing | 00:30 |
| jrib | !register | ToothPick | 00:30 |
| ubottu | ToothPick: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available in #freenode | 00:30 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: also if you're upgrading then you don't want the setting for 9.10 in 10.04 as some things have changed | 00:30 |
| bgupta | THere are a number of vulnerabilities with our version of ssh... and don't see any security updates.. wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything | 00:30 |
| linux_is_my_hero | sealedwithakiss: google intel 775 socket and see what processors you can get | 00:31 |
| jrib | bgupta: there are updates in the -security and -updates repository that cherry pick security patches | 00:31 |
| onetinsoldier | gartral: xset dpms off ...? | 00:31 |
| crimsun | bgupta: openssh-server | 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2 | hardy-security | amd64, i386 | 00:31 |
| bredtech | Hey, People! :) | 00:32 |
| bredtech | Do normal USB Mobile Broadband sticks with with Ubuntu Linux? Like specifically the ones from T-Mobile and Virgin Mobile? | 00:32 |
| onetinsoldier | gartral: there is... xset dpms force {standby|suspend|off|on} | 00:32 |
| bgupta | crimsum, where is the cahngelog? | 00:32 |
| linux_is_my_hero | bredtech: the sprint one does | 00:32 |
| jrib | bgupta: aptitude changelog openssh-server | 00:32 |
| crimsun | bgupta: in the binary packages, on Launchpad, and on packages.ubuntu.com | 00:32 |
| bredtech | The Sprint one just plugs in and works...? | 00:32 |
| linux_is_my_hero | ubuntu has bult-in support for said devices, you can try #hardware or the ubuntu website to check for specific models' your considering purchasing | 00:32 |
| bgupta | so not here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/openssh-server | 00:32 |
| bgupta | ?? | 00:32 |
| linux_is_my_hero | bredtech: ive tried it myself its pretty fast :-) | 00:33 |
| jrib | bgupta: there too... | 00:33 |
| bredtech | very cool. thanks. Any experience with any Mobile Broadband USB devices from T-Mobile or Virgin Mobile? | 00:33 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: Well, i want to use my current /home partition to be present and usable as /home after installation. So, in this case, i should select /home (the one which i m using) and unmark format option and should not create any new partition for home? Right? | 00:33 |
| onetinsoldier | scq: sounds right to me | 00:34 |
| michael1982 | hey all | 00:34 |
| linux_is_my_hero | nope. but if they really want you to get their broadband, take your computer in the store and make them prove it works. if they won't i would go to a different store. | 00:34 |
| michael1982 | i need help with how to work deeveedee | 00:34 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: But i didn't understand about username? | 00:34 |
| onetinsoldier | !hi | michael1982 | 00:34 |

| gartral | ok... bug: xset --help given over ssh wants a monitor specified | 00:34 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: correct. the existing username matters. if will give you errors if you try to use the same username. | 00:34 |
| Crash1hd | Ugg I somehow right clicked on the top bar and removed the dropdown to logout and restart? any way to get that back? | 00:34 |
| jrib | Crash1hd: right click -> add to panel | 00:35 |
| dabaR | Crash1hd: add the right thing to the panel(right click | 00:35 |
| michael1982 | ok can i ask a question | 00:35 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: do you understand what i mean? | 00:35 |
| jrib | michael1982: that's the only question that you shouldn't ask! | 00:35 |
| michael1982 | lol | 00:36 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: my current /home partition suppose contain username A and B, and after re installation, suppose i create A, it will give errors and creating D will not? | 00:36 |
| michael1982 | wats better | 00:36 |
| michael1982 | xp or win7 | 00:36 |
| onetinsoldier | michael1982: yes. just ask. ask it all in one line. state you problem in that one line.. what you are trying to do, and how you are trying to do it, and then finally, what happens when you try it | 00:36 |
| dabaR | you did that on purpose, michael1982 | 00:36 |
| jrib | michael1982: ok, you should ask a question related to ubuntu support... | 00:36 |
| Crash1hd | jrdnyquist, dabaR either of you know which thing is the right thing to add? | 00:36 |
| sheerz | I smell a troll... | 00:37 |
| onetinsoldier | lol.. maybe | 00:37 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: my current /home partition suppose contain username A and B, and after re installation, suppose i create A, it will give errors and creating D will not? | 00:37 |
| michael1982 | ok' | 00:37 |
| michael1982 | how do i get exe programs to work such as games on ubuntu? | 00:38 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: there? | 00:38 |
| jrib | !wine | michael1982 | 00:38 |
| ubottu | michael1982: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 00:38 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: username A currently exists on /home. you can not use the username A when doing a reinstall. it will give you errors about username A existing. while in the the liveCD just rename username A to A.backup and install with username A .. afterwards you can copy over things you need back to A from A.backup | 00:38 |
| mackolin | !Play on Linux | 00:38 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:38 |
| dominicdinada | dang it only about 35 more mins until i can reboot | 00:39 |
| linux_is_my_hero | michael1982: *.exe is a windows executable. you can get a windows emulator like wine, or use a program called virtualbox that lets you run an os on top of another os (you can virtualbox windows so then u can run your games) | 00:39 |
| Crash1hd | ok found it :) | 00:39 |
| dominicdinada | !wine |michael1982 | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: yes what you said is correct.. A and B will be fine D will be created no problem | 00:40 |

| dominicdinada | For the 2nd time | 00:40 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: Where are you from? :-) | 00:40 |
| gartral|droid | xset --help wants a screen too be designated when run from ssh... thats useless | 00:41 |
| Kutakizukari | How do I execute a .sh file in the terminal? | 00:41 |
| mackolin | recommend to install games !PlayonLinux | 00:41 |
| tehran | Kutakizukari: /bin/bash file.sh | 00:41 |
| dominicdinada | michael1982: sudo aptitude install wine | 00:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Kutakizukari: first, you the .sh file needs to have it set as an executable... then ./<file.sh> | 00:42 |
| thewolf | Is it just me... but my date and time dosn't have the weather even though I have told it to... and specified a place... any help? | 00:42 |
| mackolin | Kutakizukari .. sh 'file.sh' | 00:42 |
| Kutakizukari | can the file be on my desktop to execute it? | 00:42 |
| onetinsoldier | Kutakizukari: yes. the desktop is just another folder/directory | 00:43 |
| Kutakizukari | onetinsoldier, thank you | 00:43 |
| HardDisk | Ubuntu mentioned on this week's Big Bang Theory Episode :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_mzgdQGwY4&NR=1 | 00:43 |
| kahen | I've completely forgotten and I can't seem to find any documentation that says anything. Is relatime and nodiratime part of the default mount options? | 00:43 |
| === TannerF[ohaiafk] is now known as TannerF | ||
| onetinsoldier | Kutakizukari: you're welcome. on command line, try... sh ~/Desktop/<file.sh> | 00:43 |
| dominicdinada | !mount | kahen | 00:44 |
| ubottu | kahen: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 00:44 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: Thank you | 00:44 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: good luck :) | 00:44 |
| kahen | dominicdinada: yeah, that was *real* useful... that mentions nothing about the default mount options | 00:45 |
| kahen | </sarcasm> | 00:45 |
| Sir_Konrad | how come I can't install XBMC from the Ubuntu Software Center? | 00:45 |
| bastid_raZor | !fstab | kahen | 00:45 |
| ubottu | kahen: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:45 |
| Woosta | I need to install both modperl2 and php modules on my box. But libapache2-mod-php5 requires apache-mpm-prefork while modperl2 requires apache-mpm-worker (whiich are mutually exclusive). Anyone ever installed both? Am I missing something obvious? | 00:45 |
| Kutakizukari | onetinsoldier, I found out I need the file here /usr/local/sbin/ but it will not let me move it there. How do I get the file there? | 00:45 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: Hey, do you have your private chat disabled? | 00:46 |
| kahen | much better. thanks | 00:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Kutakizukari: sudo mv -v /path/to/<file> /path/to/destination | 00:46 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad... SBMC PPA is Ubuntu Tweak | 00:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Kumsa: mv = move command | 00:47 |
| thewolf | *XBMC | 00:47 |
| bastid_raZor | scq: i prefer to keep things in channel. :b | 00:47 |
| HardDisk | is it me or is it quiet in here? | 00:47 |
| onetinsoldier | it's not that quiet | 00:47 |
| Sir_Konrad | thewolf: what? Still can't see it. | 00:47 |
| onetinsoldier | but i have seen it a lot busier. just give it a few minutes ;-) | 00:48 |
| Solaris444 | Hi guys, anyone here have experience with device mapper? I'm trying to re-add a disk to a degraded array. | 00:48 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: do you have Ubuntu Tweak? | 00:49 |
| scq | bastid_raZor: Well, i only wanted to say about the english, it can be improved grammatically, else it would sound confusing :) Anyways, thank you | 00:49 |
| Sir_Konrad | thewolf: no. What's that? | 00:50 |
| Randall | so you are all flocking back to other distros I knew it you are all fucking sheep | 00:51 |
| Randall | what I get kicked for saying the truth | 00:51 |
| tehran | i believe the technical term is sheeple | 00:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Randall: ofr swearing i think | 00:51 |
| onetinsoldier | for* | 00:51 |
| tsimpson | !ot | 00:52 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 00:52 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: it's a tool used to "tweak" ubuntu including having XBMC in it's source center... You might be able to get XBMC without tweak but tweak would be the eaisest route... and it is useful | 00:52 |
| Typos_King | Woosta: hehe, I have not anyhow :), on the other hand, I'd think you should be able to install a .deb skipping dependencies :), I believe -prefork is the older version of -worker? | 00:52 |
| Randall | fuck is covered under free speach | 00:52 |
| Sir_Konrad | thewolf: do you install it through Ubuntu Software Center? | 00:52 |
| Solaris444 | what on earth is Randall going on about? | 00:53 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Are you still there? | 00:54 |
| _blackwater_ | apparently we're all sheep | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Yes | 00:54 |

| onetinsoldier | Woosta: hello, you here? | 00:54 |
| bp0 | how can i let the volume buttons work when the screen is in screensaver? | 00:54 |
| Woosta | onetinsoldier: I am | 00:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Woosta: roger. did you see what Typos_King said to you? if you need help getting packages installed, i might be able to help | 00:55 |
| Solaris444 | Oh. | 00:55 |
| klh | anyone familiar with trident cyberblade/xp and how to get a better resolution than 800x600 ? | 00:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Woosta: would need to see the error messages | 00:56 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: no... you have to install a repository from getdeb.... just type getdeb into firefox (or your webbrowser) and you will find it... technally it is "unsupported by connacil" but the community maintains getdeb | 00:56 |
| Woosta | onetinsoldier: I'll run apt from the cmd line and get the errors for you | 00:56 |
| onetinsoldier | Woosta: sounds good | 00:56 |
| Typos_King | Woosta: you can always just do a -> sudo apt-get -d install PACKAGE; to just get the .deb files, and then install manually yourself from /var/cache/apt/archives :) | 00:57 |
| Woosta | But as for Typos_King's comment, prefork is non-threaded and so PHP likes it. worker is threaded so mod-perl is OK with it. mod-perl should be OK with non-threaded of course | 00:57 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: once you follow the instructions to install the getdeb repository just type Ubuntu Tweak into getdeb's search apps | 00:58 |
| klh | trident cyberblade/xp video anyone ? | 00:58 |
| ja3k3l | hey | 00:58 |
| ja3k3l | the os determine oob files came as a png instead of leaker | 00:58 |
| Typos_King | klh: I don't have one.. .but usually to change resolutions reliably you'd edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf :) | 00:59 |
| BigMacDawg | I'm hoping I can get some help. I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux, as a whole. I have set up a file server and now I am trying to set up CUPS on the server... | 00:59 |
| ja3k3l | ping | 00:59 |
| Typos_King | ja3k3l: wha? oob as png? who? | 00:59 |
| BigMacDawg | I have connected an hp photoshop printer via usb and cannot get it to print. | 00:59 |
| onetinsoldier | ok, he left | 01:00 |
| BigMacDawg | any ideas, please? | 01:00 |
| cabrey | I set up an ssh on a ubuntu server. for some reason, when I connect from another computer, it asks for my username immediately, but after I enter my username it takes a good 30-60 seconds for the password prompt to show up. any ideas? | 01:00 |
| Reign25 | cabrey: Has that ever happened before? Is it a new occurence? | 01:00 |
| randal | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/enable-rgba-transparency-in-ubuntu-910.html | 01:00 |
| cabrey | Reign25: this is a new install of 10.04 | 01:00 |
| Sir_Konrad | ok. Thanks thewolf. | 01:01 |
| klh | Typos_King I'd be lost w/out you </sarcasm> =) thanks anyway! | 01:01 |
| Reign25 | cabrey: What OS was it running before? Was it the same situation? | 01:01 |
| dherde | I am having trouble setting up apache and virtual host monster. I added VHM in the ZM Interface and must have something wrong. Can anyone discuss with me to see what I messed up? | 01:01 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: did you install XBMC? | 01:01 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: print a test page | 01:01 |
| Sir_Konrad | thewolf: not yet. eating. :D | 01:01 |
| cabrey | Reign25: before it was running a version of CentOS and all was well. before I had other ubuntu versions on it and it worked fine then as well | 01:01 |
| dherde | Oops.. wrong forum sorry.. | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | klh: no problemo :P | 01:02 |
| Yum | :* | 01:02 |
| Reign25 | cabrey: I'm not sure then :/ Hopefully someone here has an idea. | 01:02 |
| karan | hi i wanna change from ubuntu to mint linux 9 | 01:02 |
| pdtpatri1k | good for u | 01:02 |
| cabrey | Reign25: yea I hope so, it gets rather irritating. I'll look through the config too | 01:02 |
| Sir_Konrad | lol | 01:02 |
| karan | is there a way to do tht wihtout a burning an iso to a cd | 01:03 |
| karan | like an update | 01:03 |
| karan | ? | 01:03 |
| BigMacDawg | bIAk6j73: I have tried that, but still get nothing. I'm not sure how to set up the connection when on the connection page for the printer setup. | 01:03 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Do you have any options in your BIOS that relate to ACPI or APIC? Also, if there is an option to disable floppy in the BIOS you should use it, since you don't seem to have a floppy drive. | 01:03 |
| Sir_Konrad | karan: check with the Linux Mint people | 01:03 |
| tripps | after great progress, i'm back to my laptop freezing up upon booting. I've been upgrading ubuntu on this laptop since feisty without a hiccup. Shame on canonical for creating something this broken. (lynx 10.04 LTS) | 01:03 |
| bastid_raZor | !mintsupport | karan | 01:03 |
| ubottu | karan: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:03 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: No, and yes, I do have a floppy drive. It's actually the drive that IS showing up in "Computer" | 01:03 |
| Typos_King | karan: doubt it, for the sake of ease, you'll need the .iso later on for any reinstalls anyway, might as well get it :P | 01:03 |
| karan | ...fine | 01:04 |
| jX | So I'm having issues with a mdadm created raid. I boot, the RAID sin't working, so I pull up DiskUtility, it's all "This is started, but not working right" so I stop then start it, it's fine. | 01:04 |
| jX | any idea why? or how to fix it? | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: That's interesting. | 01:04 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Lol yes. Is it not showing up there? | 01:04 |
| onetinsoldier | karan: start up 'cfdisk' as root. delete ubuntu partitions, write to partition table, set up linux mint partitions, ect... install mint linux. done | 01:04 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: is it a wireless printer? | 01:05 |
| cabrey | anybody have any reason why it takes a while for the ssh server to put up a password prompt after I enter my username? | 01:05 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: no. it is connected to the server via USB connection. | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Have you tried actually reading a floppy with it? There are a bunch of IO errors from /dev/fd0 which usually come from computers exposing a floppy device when none actually exists. | 01:05 |
| karan | can i keep my data? like how u update form ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 with an update thingy....and i lost no data | 01:05 |
| === Edgan__ is now known as Edgan | ||
| onetinsoldier | karan: no. you'd have to 'update' to a new version of ubuntu. you can't go from one ditribution to another without a clean fresh install | 01:06 |
| cbrinke11 | I installed dnsmasq, and it appears as though it does not cache things, how best to debug? | 01:06 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I saw that as well. Let me try something and dmesg it again. I haven't used a floppy in years, so I have no idea if it's still operable or not. | 01:06 |
| onetinsoldier | karan: so, you first need to save all the data you want to keep onto an external hard drive or something of that nature | 01:06 |
| thewolf | Sir_Konrad: Be sure to check out all of Tweak's abilities... you can change the xsplash screen (the background you see when you login) change which side (and in what order) your buttons appear on your windows... and most importantly add sources for your updates to check... just don't enable any of the ones that say "testing" or "weekly" or "daily builds" these are buggy ones meant to be fixed | 01:06 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: what happens when you do system>admin>printing? | 01:07 |
| karan | onetinsoldier> i got evrything backed up...now wat? | 01:07 |
| jr_ | help pleas | 01:07 |
| onetinsoldier | karan: no you're on you own pretty much | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Try removing the floppy drive, we probably won't be lucky enough that that fixes things but it can't hurt to try. | 01:07 |
| onetinsoldier | now* | 01:07 |
| onetinsoldier | karan: now* you're on you own pretty much | 01:07 |
| respire | my mouse and screen go crazy. i type stuff it goes into xchat and people can read it but it doesn't appear, i can't drag select things in terminals, lots of other weirdness | 01:07 |
| respire | what broked> | 01:07 |
| karan | :( | 01:07 |
| onetinsoldier | karan: start up 'cfdisk' as root. delete ubuntu partitions, write to partition table, set up linux mint partitions, ect... install mint linux. done | 01:07 |
| Provenzano | is there any way to simple compile ubuntu kernel according to my computer? | 01:08 |
| Woosta | onetinsoldier: & Typos_King: It was all about the order in which I did things I guess. I just got it to install using kpackagekit without resorting to the cmd line! | 01:08 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: lol ok my fault, but I was thinking of the wrong laptop. This actually does NOT have a floppy drive. I'll disable it in the BIOS once these updates are done. | 01:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Woosta: nice :-) enjoy | 01:08 |
| michael1982 | how do i put my cd rom drive on my desktop? | 01:09 |
| respire | probably some smart ass root me | 01:09 |
| respire | because you're too lazy to use selinuix | 01:09 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: the printer is displayed. I am trying a test print now... | 01:09 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: :) | 01:09 |
| respire | and all my passwords are on disk | 01:09 |
| Time`s_Witness | im in ubuntu i just installed 10.04 and i connect to wireless network, however i have no access to internet for some reason. how can i solve this please? | 01:10 |
| respire | tho at least they are encrypted filesys, symetric wth gpg and with a password manager | 01:10 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Quick question while you're here: Is it normal for the right side of my screen to be full of black squares after a screensaver? I'm assuming not, but I can't get them off. | 01:10 |
| michael1982 | how do i update my bios? | 01:10 |
| smellynosery | I changed my keyboard layout under System->Preferences->Keyboard, but it's still on the old one. I unticked "Separate layout per window" and I applied it system wide | 01:10 |
| tripps | Is there a command (like dpkg-reconfigure) that resets *all* packages to maintainer defaults? | 01:11 |
| Jordan_U | michael1982: Either make a FreeDOS boot floppy/CD or use http://flashrom.org/ | 01:11 |
| cabrey | anybody have any reason why it takes a while for the ssh server to put up a password prompt after I enter my username? | 01:11 |
| onetinsoldier | michael1982: that can depend a little on you motherboard. on mine, i download the new .rom file onto usb memory stick. then boot into bios and theres an option in there to update the bios. i just select that and the .rom file and away it goes | 01:12 |
| skierpage | I've got built-in VIA8237 sound and an Audigy ZS card. Sound from the latter breaks up (ZZEEEEEEEEPP) while there's any network activity. Alsa prefers the Audigy. What's the simplest best-est way to tell Alsa in Lucid to prefer the built-in? | 01:12 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: print fails. /usr/lib/cups/backend/http failed | 01:12 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73:that's the error i get. | 01:13 |
| anbr | Provenzano: "ubuntu kernel" contradicts "according to my computer". not using a supplied kernel is not simple. what do you hope to gain? | 01:13 |
| Jordan_U | skierpage: System > Preferences > Sound | 01:13 |

| jjwdesign | Anyone know how to install Eclipse and the PDT? | 01:13 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: hmm, not sure. what's the problem you're having? | 01:13 |
| Provenzano | anbr I hope win some performance | 01:15 |
| Chak82 | hello | 01:15 |
| Provenzano | it is too difficult to a 'noob'? | 01:15 |
| anbr | Provenzano: a measurable performance gain? i don't think so | 01:15 |
| Chak82 | i have some problems with lucid lynx | 01:15 |
| Provenzano | ok anbr =) | 01:15 |
| Chak82 | i cant open gnome art manager | 01:15 |
| tripps | onetinsoldier, freezing upon loading up X. had it working just fine and for some reason it crapped out again. Dunno what did it and would like to avoid format/reinstall. Had to set i915 mode to 1 for it to work; now telling me /dev/fb0 doesn't exist if I go into failsafe, etc. | 01:15 |
| Provenzano | thanks ;) | 01:15 |

| skierpage | Jordan_U: Oops, I'm on Kubuntu. What does System > Preferences > Sound do under the covers? | 01:16 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: roger :-( don't know i can help much with that | 01:16 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: on the connection screen, i select HP Printer(HPLIP) and move to the next screen. On the next screen, i'm not sure what connection to type in. | 01:17 |
| holmser | I keep getting a popup that says "apt authentication issue" | 01:17 |
| Jordan_U | skierpage: It changes pulseaudio settings, I don't know if kubuntu uses pulseaudio. You should as in #kubuntu | 01:17 |

| sam_2007 | moening guys. quick question about Skype on ubuntu. it wont let me log in says i have one already running but i didnt open it and there is nothing in the indication area. any ideas? | 01:17 |
| Time`s_Witness | how can i solve wireless problems please? | 01:17 |
| holmser | any idea what could cause that? The warning says it could be caused by a proxy, but I'm not running a proxy | 01:18 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: The floppy drive is disabled now, but now there are multiple black boxes on both sides of my screen. It's as if they are making a task bar on the left and right sides of my screen. | 01:18 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Try disabling Desktop Effects in System > Preferences > Appearance | 01:19 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Never mind. I just fixed it. It was a panel...odd. | 01:19 |
| Typos_King | skierpage: system settings > multimedia :P | 01:19 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Yea. That's what I assumed it was as well. | 01:19 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Are devices still not being recognized? | 01:19 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I'm about to try now, but the floppy is still listed in "Computer" | 01:20 |
| onetinsoldier | ok, question. if you re-install a package, does it re-install the config files that come with the package? what if you have edited the config files? will it be overwritten with the maintainers that are included in the package? | 01:20 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: what options do you get? | 01:21 |
| Zelozelos | onetinsoldier, you can possibly delete the settings then reinstall, but you'll have 2 be able to find the settings | 01:22 |
| JAMD456 | Can someone help me? I keep getting the following error in terminal any time I run a command | 01:22 |

| onetinsoldier | Zelozelos: ok, roger. tripps is asking how to have all his packages restore the original package maintainers config files... for all his installed packages | 01:24 |
| BigMacDawg | Sorry. | 01:25 |
| axident | Typos_king: suggestion for size of partitions and how many? | 01:25 |
| colorlessprism | karan, not appropriate | 01:25 |
| Zelozelos | onetinsoldier, uhh, thats a big job, it's prob better to reinstall the sys | 01:25 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Still, nothing recognized. | 01:25 |
| onetinsoldier | I have a script that will re-install all packages that are currently installed on a system. but i don't think that alone re-installs the original config file that come in a package | 01:25 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Are there any ACPI or APIC settigns in the BIOS? | 01:26 |
| Jordan_U | onetinsoldier: With --purge it will | 01:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Jordan_U: yep, i know | 01:26 |
| onetinsoldier | Jordan_U: tripps is asking how to have all his packages restore the original package maintainers config files... for all his installed packages | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | axident: at least 2, one for '/' root and one for 'swap', regular install will be around 2.5gbs, sooo, you can decide from there, if you can, you may also want a partition for your 'HOME' folder, and make others where you'd keep documents and videos/media, so when something happens and you need to reinstall, you only do it for the system partition, no losing any multimedia or docs :) | 01:27 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: No. | 01:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Jordan_U: don't think we'd want to use --purge for that, hehe | 01:27 |
| tripps | onetinsoldier, Zelozelos problem is somewhere along the way my network broke too so I don't even have access to repos. Really frustrating, and I don't know what changed since everything was working fine. | 01:27 |

| ryanakca | I have a Communication controller: Agere Systems Lucent V.92 Data/Fax Modem . I am wondering if I can record my phone line with said modem? | 01:28 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a -pcritical" will almost do what you want | 01:28 |
| Zelozelos | tripps i still say its prob easier just to reinstall the sys, theres a lot of packages to reconfigure | 01:28 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: are does the system boot ok but X just doesn't start? | 01:29 |
| Typos_King | axident: I use a 10gbs for '/' and 1gb for 'swap', and use another partition where I keep my videos/mp3s/docs :) | 01:29 |

| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Any ideas? | 01:29 |
| Zelozelos | but if you only need to fix like 5 or 10 things, its hard 2 judge | 01:29 |
| tripps | onetinsoldier, Zelozelos Jordan_U yes I can boot into recovery mode and do failsafe low res mode | 01:29 |
| tripps | but no network now for some reason. | 01:30 |
| GeekSquid | onetinsoldier: can I pass you ... sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ....see 'man dpkg-reconfigure' # | 01:30 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: roger. i'm kind of surprised that dpkg doesn't have a command to just restore config files only | 01:30 |
| koe | come one guys ... can someone tell me ? how can I login to IRC with a registred username ? /msg NickServ identity <password> its not working | 01:30 |

| jrib | onetinsoldier: --force-confmiss, no? | 01:31 |
| onetinsoldier | GeekSquid: i thought about that command.. but i believe that just reconfigures a package, with the config files it has. it does not restore the configs included in a .deb package | 01:31 |
| onetinsoldier | jrib: hmm, let me look! :-) | 01:31 |
| JAMD456 | Can someone help me? In terminal every time I run a command Fontconfig errors pop up | 01:31 |
| jrib | onetinsoldier: or maybe confnew in this case | 01:32 |
| onetinsoldier | jrib: yep.. i think confnew | 01:32 |
| skiwithpete | hi | 01:32 |
| Typos_King | JAMD456: try another tab or close the termianal and reopen a new terminal session :) | 01:32 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, -a -pcritical that is. then I'll need to reconfigure X to enable KMS like before; that's what got X working fine. Then I started to play with s2ram, s2disk and somewhere something got seriously hosed | 01:33 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: might have something you can 'try'... at your own risk, in the lowres mode | 01:33 |
| Typos_King | JAMD456: I'd think some prior running lost/zombie process | 01:33 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: KMS should be enabled by default in 10.04 | 01:33 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, how about koala? | 01:33 |
| JAMD456 | Typos_King No it has been happening all week even when the computer is shutting down I am getting a list of font config errors rather then the shutdown splash | 01:34 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: No, it was only enabled for intel in 9.10 | 01:34 |
| onetinsoldier | tripps: just by looking at what your saying, i think chances are high you might just have to re-install from scratch. but i have something you can 'try'... i think | 01:34 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAcK6j73: I pasted the log. Were you able to see it? | 01:34 |

| Jordan_U | tripps: Then just "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" | 01:35 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: sorry about that. http://paste.ubuntu.com/435828/ | 01:35 |

| Typos_King | mattpat: usually you'd do -> sudo modprobe DRIVERNAMEHERE; you can get the name from the -> lsmod | 01:36 |

| mrgenixus | I have a new kernel installed, but the new kernel panics becuase the grub config isn't set correctly; the old one runs just fine; I think the issue is related to the fact that I'm running in a Wubi install -- which is to say -- I'm running from a file on an ntfs disk, and when the kernel tried to mount root, it fails | 01:57 |
| tripps | maybe I'll uninstall laptop-mode-tools | 01:57 |
| Jordan_U | shadmego: Do disable plymouth just remove the "splash" kernel parameter | 01:57 |
| axident | Typos_king. I think I do only have one question more! do it make since to make a partition for stored settings? If yes, witch type shall it be? | 01:57 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: it's not connected via ip or ethernet. it is connected directly to the server via USB cable. | 01:58 |
| erghezi | gartral: from this guide: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | rui: nope.. sorry. i'm not familiar with how to install webcams or webcam software | 01:58 |
| mrgenixus | for whatever reason ubuntu seems to extra-complicate grub so I can't seem to find the file that isn't correct | 01:58 |
| mrgenixus | Ideas | 01:58 |
| gartral | erghezi: THAT"S your problem, you just screwed yourself hard! reinstall from scratch and install the nvidia driver from hardware profiler | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | mrgenixus: i hear you! | 01:58 |
| rui | onetinsoldier:thank you | 01:58 |
| rui | can anyone helpeme to installa web cam on Ubuntu 10.04? | 01:58 |
| mrgenixus | onetinsoldier: is your skin blue? | 01:58 |
| shadmego | Jordan_U: I tried removing the splash parameter and got a similar, though different error. I am not in front of the machine anymore so I can't repeat that particular error | 01:58 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: I think its looking for an ip address | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | grub2 kind of sucks for configuring compared to the good old grub1 | 01:58 |
| erghezi | gartral: he he:)) | 01:59 |
| Typos_King | axident: stored settings are usually at $HOME folder, so :) | 01:59 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, an other ideas? I've been fighting this for 10 hours now :-/ | 01:59 |
| mrgenixus | onetinsoldier: tell me something I don't know? | 01:59 |
| mrgenixus | it doesn't seem like its designed to be configured | 01:59 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: ok, i will try the IP address of the server. | 01:59 |
| gartral | erghezi: see ya laters. the #ubuntu community has 0 support for installing any propriotary driver from the manufactuer's website | 01:59 |
| Jordan_U | onetinsoldier: I disagree, I'll take separate clearly defined files over a single one with comments-that-aren't-really-comments and areas where user modifications will be silently discarded by update-grub | 02:00 |
| erghezi | gartral: so can you tell me, how to remove it? | 02:00 |
| gartral | erghezi: you've fucked you computer hard. I don't know a more blunt way to say it.. you need too reinstall ubuntu | 02:00 |
| onetinsoldier | Jordan_U: roger. well, i don't like it so far. i used to be able to help people with their grub problems. now, i don't even bother to try | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | !ohmy | gartral | 02:01 |
| ubottu | gartral: 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. | 02:01 |
| mrgenixus | Jordan_U: there's something to be said for staying with convention | 02:01 |
| Kennith | Should I be adding PPAs for any new programs I install? | 02:01 |
| Zelozelos | tripps, as i told shadmego and yourself earlier, if you upgraded and you're having issues, reinstall freashly from disk, itll be the best way to fix everyting ;) | 02:01 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: To which line? There is one linux line, but at the end is "Quiet splash", but it's not the last line. Should I enter it there? | 02:01 |
| erghezi | gartral: but that's not solution ! i install ubuntu from alpha:( | 02:01 |
| Kennith | I've heard that the Ubuntu repositories aren't always up-to-date, and adding PPAs is a good thing to do | 02:02 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, I was afraid you said that. I got it working though for an hour or so before I started playing with suwsusp | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | mrgenixus: Convention is broken, ask Ubuntu's grub maintainers that have had to deal with bug reports about the unintuitive behavior of legacy update-grub | 02:02 |
| gartral | erghezi: well.. time to download the release iso.. once you've installed the nvidia drivers from their site, you make chankes that are irreperrable in the kernel.. there's no more blut a way to explain it, you've toasted ubuntu | 02:02 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: do you have hplip installed and what happens when you open the browser and enter localhost:631 | 02:03 |
| gartral | erghezi: perhaps next time you should read the warnings? | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Yes, add it after splash (and on the same line as splash) | 02:03 |
| JAMD456 | Typos_King Thank you for your help, I fixed the problem by adding the <cachedir> lines from yours to mine | 02:03 |
| mrgenixus | Jordan_U: ok -- fine. it WAS a pain -- the devil you know and all -- that doesn't allow me to correct the issue | 02:03 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Thank you. Booting now. | 02:04 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73:I believe HPLIP is installed. it is an option listed. i am trying to install and configure the printer via the localhost:631 address. | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: You're welcome. | 02:04 |
| mrgenixus | I'm currently looking at the grub.cfg file, which I can't edit and make any real difference, and I can't seem to find the file I do need to change.. and that's less well-documented than ever. | 02:04 |
| rui | please help | 02:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Jordan_U: perhaps if they'd just put that darn /etc/default/grub file in with all the other ones! grrr... in /etc/grub.d | 02:04 |
| mrgenixus | this seems like a step backwards | 02:04 |
| gartral | erghezi: or.. petition nvidia to release drivers that dont suck... ohh.. wait.. we've been doing that for 15 years | 02:04 |
| BigMacDawg | BlAck6j73: That is the only way i know how to congfigure it. | 02:04 |
| rui | can anyone help me to install a webcam on Ubuntu | 02:04 |
| Jordan_U | mrgenixus: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg? | 02:05 |
| erghezi | gartral: i have a big bug. so I had to try it:( | 02:05 |
| anbr | rui: just plug it in. if any of your programs wants to use it, it will | 02:05 |
| mrgenixus | I can .. one sec -- there doesn't seem to be any difference between what works and what doesn't | 02:05 |
| erghezi | gartral: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/580167 | 02:05 |
| mrgenixus | I have to conclude it's not a configuration problem | 02:05 |
| axident | Typos_king: Not more about partitions sizes. In the case I have to to fix/repair my system one day, what do I then have to do? Something with backup or how is it done at linux? | 02:05 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Nothing solved :/ | 02:06 |
| papertigers | anyone have any luck mounting nfsv4 at boot? | 02:06 |
| mrgenixus | Jordan_U: and not with grub | 02:06 |
| nicolas | hi, I'm new to ubuntu, I have a ntfs partitioned disk that is automaticly mounted when I click on it in nautilus, how can I set umask for it? | 02:06 |
| rui | anbr: i have plug in and used cheese and he dont find the web cam | 02:06 |
| mrgenixus | it might be I don't have the correct filesystem driver in the initrd? | 02:06 |
| gartral | erghezi: i can garuntee, a reinstall now will fix 90% of your bugs. you're literally at the bottum of the barrel when it comes to bad positions, you've made the mistakeo f updating from alpha>beta>release, and THEN added a completly unsupportable driver too your system! | 02:06 |
| Smeh | I'm trying to create a softraid array in 9.10 using palimpsest but when i try and create the array is just reports "the daemon is inhibited". The installer partitioner doesn't seem to want to give me the option of creating a softraid so i don't know what to do.. | 02:07 |
| nicolas | atm it is 700 but I want 755 for the mounted volume(s) | 02:07 |
| anbr | rui: i don't know cheese. type gphoto2 -P at the command line. what happens? | 02:07 |
| rui | anbr: im installing Gphoto2 | 02:09 |
| wildbat_laptop | nicolas, you can't with gvfs( i guess, can't find a solution to it...) but you can mount is with ntfs-3g | 02:09 |
| smellynosery | I changed my keyboard layout under System->Preferences->Keyboard, but it's still on the old one. I unticked "Separate layout per window" and I applied it system wide. Does anybody know how to fix that? | 02:09 |
| shadmego | Jordan_U: I was wrong. When removing the "splash" kernel parameter, the same error message comes up - init: plymouth-splash main process (#) terminated with status 1 | 02:09 |
| ChogyDan | rui: you can also try gstreamer-properties | 02:09 |
| nicolas | wildbat_laptop: so I have to mount the volumes manually instead of letting nautilus (or whatever is triggered by nautilus) do it? | 02:10 |
| rui | anbr: i try gphoto2 and give that message *** Error *** | 02:10 |
| rui | Could not detect any camera | 02:10 |
| rui | *** Error (-105: 'Unknown model') *** | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Try installing the latest upstream kernel from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ (be sure to install the header package as well as the image package). | 02:10 |
| wildbat_laptop | nicolas, yes sir if you want it mount auto, do it in fstab | 02:10 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Would you mind filing a bug report? | 02:11 |
| papertigers | anyone follow the nfsv4 guide on the ubuntu site and have it work? | 02:11 |
| nicolas | wildbat_laptop: but ntsf-3g and fstab don't work well together do they? | 02:11 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I think that was in the update. | 02:12 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Sure. | 02:12 |
| wildbat_laptop | nicolas, hey good ^^ ~ i was using it in 9.10 | 02:12 |
| nicolas | wildbat_laptop: ok, ty for the info :) | 02:12 |

| tedddd | my themes are all messed up -- is there any way to easily re-install them | 02:13 |

| kcaze | Hi everyone, I sort of nuked gnome by trying to manually install GTK+ | 02:13 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Gotcha. I'll install it now. | 02:13 |

| Reign25 | Jordan_U: It won't let me install the package for I386 | 02:16 |
| Jordan_U | sirninja: Buy one with Ubuntu pre-installed from companies like System76 or Dell | 02:16 |
| Zelozelos | sirninja, some manufacturers offer ubuntu systems now | 02:16 |
| kcaze | Does anyone know if I can fix Gnome by installing the rest of the libraries for gtk? | 02:16 |
| Zelozelos | sirninja, but 1 thing i wont suggest is an nvidea graphics card rofl | 02:17 |

| Jordan_U | sirninja: http://www.system76.com/ http://www.dell.com/ubuntu | 02:19 |
| sirninja | LUCIDementia: is it a dell studio? That's what I have. I had to install the package bcmwl-kernel-source | 02:19 |
| LUCIDementia | it's a Dell vostro 1500 if that means anything to you | 02:19 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: ndiswrapper is almost never actually needed | 02:19 |
| Zed` | /llh | 02:19 |
| Zelozelos | LUCIDementia, i have a dell vostro, and i dont have 2 do anything for my wireless 2 work, but i guess you have a diff wireless adapter? hopefully you tried it b4 you started messin with it | 02:20 |
| sirninja | LUCIDEmentia: you should try installing bcmwl-kernel-source if it's a broadcom wireless card | 02:20 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Could you pastebin the output of "lshw -C network" ? | 02:20 |
| LUCIDementia | it is broadcom | 02:20 |
| LUCIDementia | and it didn't work, which is why I started messing with it. Now I can see wireless networks but still can't connect | 02:21 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: What exactly did you try before ndiswrapper? | 02:21 |
| LUCIDementia | honestly I don't know. I just kept following instructions on forums that sounded similar to my problem but I rarely understood what I was doing | 02:22 |
| LUCIDementia | that and installing things from synaptic. | 02:23 |

| * Hssan need help with ubuntu if any one can | 02:25 | |
| oyo | hi | 02:25 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Doing that can lead to configurations that will prevent even correct instructions from working. If you pastebin the output from "lshw -C network" I can tell you if your card is supported and by what drivers. Once we've figured that out I'd recommend a fresh install (if you haven't done much customization yet) to ensure there are no conflicting configurations. | 02:25 |
| BlAck6j73 | BigMacDawg: yea | 02:25 |

| mohawkboi | If I am using a gaming controller for a game played under wine should I get support for force feedback for it from wine? | 02:34 |
| GTroy | mohawkboi, is the driver installed in wine? | 02:35 |
| lordeden | I got a question, I just fixed my ati/fglrx problem and I noticed that scrolling and window movment across the desktop was jerky, is this because desktop effects are not enabled? | 02:35 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: try localhost:631 | 02:35 |
| Izinucs | BigMacDawg: you can log into the server with ssh then use a cli based browser to access the cups server.. you might also ask in #ubuntu-server .. unfortunately I've gotta afk.. | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Your card is supported by the STA driver, and the open source b43 driver (though a newer kernel than the one in 10.04 is recommended for b43) | 02:36 |
| aruj | I'd like to install a pastebin server for my intranet. Any suggestion? | 02:36 |
| Izinucs | greezmunkey: cups server is on a different machine.. being used as a print server .. | 02:36 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: localhost:631 does give me a page, but is that the page to configure printers connected to the server? | 02:36 |
| GTroy | lordeden, you might try it with the effects turned on | 02:36 |
| mohawkboi | GTroy I tried to install the software it came with under wine but it never detects the hardware. Logitech have not and will not supply a linux driver and I don't know how or if it is possible to install a windows driver. | 02:36 |
| randal | How do i make it when my windows open they open maximized | 02:36 |
| lordeden | gtroy: it won't let me turn effects on even tho I've installed the latest drivers from ATI | 02:36 |

| b3nn | hey guys i want to run a scrpit when the user FAILS to authenticate. hopefully someone can point me in the right direction? | 02:37 |

| mohawkboi | GTroy Thanks I should have thought of that. Will run off and try that. Thanks again! | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: The STA driver should work fine with the kernel you have, and if it doesn't it's not hard do install a newer kernel to use the b43 drivers | 02:37 |
| GTroy | lordeden, is your gf card strong enough for the effects | 02:37 |
| Zelozelos | daniel__, whats the program you want 2 install? | 02:37 |
| GTroy | mohawkboi, sure my pleasure | 02:37 |

| GTroy | lordeden, yeah, that's plenty powerful | 02:38 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: well it didn't work when I first installed Ubuntu last Friday, so on to step 2. How do I get b43 drivers/kernel? | 02:38 |

| Zelozelos | ho | 02:39 |
| clone1018 | Any known deadly bugs with Wubi 10.04 | 02:39 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: I dont know all of the details of your config, but you can make a local printer available to the network as well. | 02:40 |
| clone1018 | I remember last time I used it I always got the bash/grub whatever errors :D | 02:40 |
| Zelozelos | daniel__, ?? | 02:40 |
| LUCIDementia | I see. I did, but now I'm enabling b43. I feel like I've done this many times before but it seems worth a shot | 02:40 |
| mattpat | I would just like to throw out a quick shoutout to the folks that make Ubuntu the terrific product it is: I'm a Mac user, and while I still prefer OS X, Ubuntu is perhaps the most beautiful operating system I've used, in every sense of the word (not just visually) | 02:40 |
| mattpat | :) | 02:40 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: thanks, that's what i've been trying to do. but to no avail... | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Make sure you disable the STA driver when using the b43 driver | 02:41 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: i believe it may be something to do with how i'm setting up the connection on the connection page. | 02:41 |
| LUCIDementia | it automatically turned grey when I enabled b43, but wireless still won't connect | 02:41 |
| GTroy | lordeden, paste it into pastebin.ca and give me the link | 02:41 |

| MACscr_lappy | are the open source radeon drivers just prefered or do the properietery ones just not work at all with more than 2 monitors? Im trying to get 3 working correctly | 02:42 |
| GTroy | ya, good point arand | 02:42 |
| Izinucs | BigMacDawg: greezmunkey quick thought .. printer on the server has to be shared | 02:42 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: what clients will be printing, *nix or windows, etc? How is your network set up? You need to answer those. Write that up, and send it to http://paste.ubuntu.com - please. | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: You can install the latest upstream kernel from here, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ . Be sure to install the linux-image package first. | 02:42 |
| GTroy | arand, I'm curious if the driver is selected in the x conf file | 02:42 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: many thanks...but honestly I have no idea what I'm looking at. Do I just click all these links? | 02:43 |
| tripps | Can I do a fresh install on top of an existing install or do I really need to move my hundreds of GB of data somewhere, reformat and install? | 02:43 |
| mohawkboi | GTroy, Problen... Running the executable for Windows drivers with Wine will not work under Linux, as Windows drivers are not designed for the Windows kernel. Wine is for applications only - you'll need Linux drivers for your hardware. There are no linux drivers available for the G25. Yet the Ubuntu 10.04 forums and the ubuntu updates all state the G25 is supported. | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Are you using 32 bit Ubuntu or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| lordeden | if pastebin.ca would show up i'd post it | 02:43 |
| Josesordo | hello all | 02:43 |
| LUCIDementia | 32 | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: 10.04? | 02:43 |
| LUCIDementia | yes. And I say 32 because I understand that that's the default | 02:44 |
| GTroy | mohawkboi, ok, I think it's plug and play | 02:44 |
| GTroy | mohawkboi, can you do a lsusb and see if it's recognized? | 02:44 |

| Vigo | Morell: It is the same system, are you having any issues? | 02:49 |
| Josesordo | I installed the ATI drivers in ubuntu 10.04 LTS (.run file from ati web site), but in hardware drivers said is not activated, so I tried to activated but failed | 02:50 |
| psusi | look, ohh... wha tmakes you think you need any drivers? everything worked out of the box for me on my dell vostro v13 with that same chipset | 02:50 |
| Morell | Vigo, Ubunrtu | 02:50 |

| psusi | look, seems to work fine for me | 02:50 |
| lordeden | gtroy, that's for logictech drivers | 02:50 |

| GTroy | no help....I'm thinking 100% compatibility isn't here yet, but I could be wrong | 02:51 |
| look | psusi, can you render a 2d plane to give it pemumbra sighting and set it to revise to 3d but still be 2d? i could do it with windows | 02:51 |
| Zelozelos | idk, but Klam av is in the repo's ;) for real though, you dont need any antivirus for linux, you'd almost have 2 install the virus yourself b4 it could do any harm | 02:51 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: ok, you want to first make sure your printer is supported. I take it that you have not yet been able to send a print job to that printer locally? | 02:51 |
| Vigo | Morrel: Yes, Ubuntu , I have done it on Ubuntu also. | 02:51 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, booting off brand new CD of 10.04 "try without installing" freezes in the same spot it does off my install. this doesn't give me hope. I guess I'm going back to jackalope. All that for naught. | 02:51 |

| look | psusi, that means nothing | 02:52 |

| mohawkboi | I have a Nvidia card | 02:52 |
| daniel__ | zelozelos, yes that is the reason why i switched to Linux, but i would like to scan files before transferring them over to my windows install | 02:52 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: no, i haven't. but i have seen that the printer is recongnized (make and model) as being on the usb port. | 02:52 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: Same message. Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-2.6.34-020634 | 02:52 |
| GTroy | yeah, wrong person mohawkboi | 02:52 |
| voss749 | zelo, I tried installing a virus on my linux laptop but I didnt have the necessary dependencies ;-) | 02:52 |
| Zelozelos | daniel__, ahh good reason 2 have one, klam does a good job | 02:52 |
| psusi | look, it means dri is working or the 3d stuff would be slow as balls | 02:52 |
| GTroy | lordeden, have you got the ati proprietary drivers in? | 02:52 |
| tripps | Seems canonical team really screwed the pooch with 10.04 | 02:53 |
| Trenton | I am in need of finding a boot manager for two separate drives containing Ubuntu 10.04LTS and Windows Vista Premium both are 64 bit. If I go through the bios each time to change the hard drive boot sequence it messes with Vista. Any boot managers or tweaks to fix this problem? | 02:53 |

| GTroy | lordeden, it sounds like fglrx aren't working..you said you got them to? | 02:54 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: Does that printer have an ethernet port? | 02:54 |
| GTroy | lordeden, even with fglrx-control? | 02:54 |
| voss749 | tripps, try booting in safe mode, I installed 10.04 just fine on my atom netbook | 02:54 |
| lordeden | gtroy, I installed them through the package manager | 02:55 |

| tripps | voss749, I've been working on it for 12 hours now. no dice. | 02:55 |
| GTroy | lordeden, through synaptic, or the installed driver program? | 02:55 |
| lordeden | synaptic | 02:55 |
| Morell | psusi, how do I install "lvm" from the live cd? | 02:55 |
| psusi | Morell, my spanish isn't very good, but if I understood that correctly, if you have a network connection do ike I said and sudo apt-get install lvm2 | 02:55 |
| voss749 | tripps, It should work in vesa mode, thats not driver dependent | 02:55 |
| lordeden | I did the fix from this thread off the forum | 02:56 |

| GTroy | lordeden, have you installed them from System-->Administration-->Hardware drivers? | 02:56 |
| daniel__ | zelozelos thanks i got it installed | 02:56 |
| Zelozelos | daniel__, it seems 2 be pretty str8 forward, did you check out the manual? it gives the instructions | 02:56 |
| tripps | I've been using linux since 1994, compiling custom kernels and going through all the paces. used *every* distro out there. I've never seen something as bad as this stupid upgrade. What a waste of a day. | 02:56 |
| Vigo | Morell: That is how it is done, usually, with LiveCD or at base install. | 02:57 |
| Zelozelos | ahh, np have fun then ;) | 02:57 |
| voss749 | tripps, upgrading is always a bit dicey | 02:57 |
| z3r0-c001 | #debian | 02:57 |
| lordeden | gtroy, it says ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX grahics drivers are running | 02:57 |
| __taco | I can't find Network Management icon any more. | 02:57 |
| tripps | perhaps if ubuntu doesn't like or recognize my hardware, it should tell me before I upgrade "hey you've got hardware that doesn't quite work yet. wait til a future release." | 02:58 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: I have now installed 3 packages. The first, the last, and the second ones you sent. Should I restart or is there more to do? | 02:58 |
| Zelozelos | heh upgrading is more then abit, more like 90% failure now, the other 9% will follow tripps | 02:58 |
| GTroy | lordeden, you tried this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver | 02:58 |
| GTroy | and you got fglrx to work? | 02:59 |
| === lresende_ is now known as lresende | ||
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Confirm that the STA driver is not activated, then reboot. | 02:59 |
| sirninja | my wired networking isn't working after a reboot | 02:59 |
| lordeden | it says that fglrx is not a broken package | 02:59 |
| xangua | __taco: in a terminal: nm-applet | 02:59 |
| lordeden | I've seen that page, it does the same thing as that forum post does | 02:59 |
| tripps | voss749 upgrading along the way since feisty without a hiccup on half a dozen machines. Now I'm scared to upgrade anything else on any of them. This leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. | 02:59 |
| lordeden | I uninstalled fglrx and installed a clean copy | 02:59 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: ok, have you dowloaded the cips .ppa driver package for your printer? | 02:59 |
| Morell | Vigo, had my directory "/ home" in one "lvm" | 03:00 |
| greezmunkey | *cups, sorry | 03:00 |
| GTroy | lordeden, I don't think a broken package is the problem as much as it didn't get fully uninstalled/reinstalled | 03:00 |
| __taco | xangua: it say an instant is running | 03:00 |
| GTroy | lordeden, and so it's goofy with it | 03:00 |
| lordeden | so I shoudl try a command line removal and reinstall | 03:00 |
| Vigo | Morell: Do you mean /home? | 03:00 |
| gogeta | sweet i got samba working threw windows firewall | 03:00 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: no, i have not. how might i go about getting those? | 03:01 |
| GTroy | lordeden, yes, that is what I would do...I think that'll fix it | 03:01 |
| Morell | Vigo, yes my directory /home | 03:01 |
| __taco | xangua: in fact network management is working but i can't see the gui | 03:01 |
| GTroy | lordeden, follow the wiki guide | 03:01 |
| sirninja | How do I get my wired network working again after an update? Ubuntu isn't recognizing the device | 03:01 |
| lordeden | yeah I ran somethi g like this already, but I'll try it again | 03:02 |
| Morell | Vigo, I did a clean install, and now I can not access my directory "/ home" | 03:02 |
| lordeden | thanks gtroy | 03:02 |
| GTroy | lordeden, you followed it to the letter? | 03:02 |
| gogeta | sirninja: plug it in? | 03:02 |

| GTroy | lordeden, over the forum | 03:02 |
| z3r0-c001 | id ubuntu came from debian does that make debian better | 03:03 |
| lordeden | gtroy, heard | 03:03 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: "Download HPLIP" | 03:03 |
| gogeta | sirninja: click your networking icong and connect | 03:03 |
| z3r0-c001 | if | 03:03 |
| tripps | I mean, how can a modern operating system not be able to boot up cleanly on a widely distributed/pervasive chipset? And I'm a linux enthusiast/hacker for 16 years. How is a lay person supposed to do this. I'll end my rant there. Had to vent. Hope someone at canonical is paying attention. Looking at the forums I'm not the only one by far, Perhaps I'll try another distro now. such a shame, really. | 03:03 |
| Josesordo | my home folder was apart, in another partition (ext3), so when I upgrade my old ubuntu to this new one 10.04, I set the mount point --> /home, so when installation finished I cant see my old files T_T | 03:03 |

| lordeden | gtoy, upgrade, it's looking like I might just have to wipe and do a clean install tommorow | 03:06 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: Anyway, once you get the printer working locally, you can share it via samba very easily, and viola! Printe Server. | 03:06 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: yep... I was hoping there was some deb setting I could use to build the binary package... configure doesn't seem to help me | 03:06 |
| lordeden | gtroy, it's not letting me uninstall from synaptic either | 03:07 |
| __taco | I can't find Network Management icon any more, after I install b43 wireless and fglrx driver . | 03:07 |
| onetinsoldier | lru: there'll probably a '--enable-static' option in there | 03:07 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: Thanks! i'll give it a go! | 03:07 |
| gogeta | sirninja: lol i woulda got there evently i just go in order | 03:07 |
| GTroy | lordeden, that's your issue, you can't clean it out | 03:07 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: yep, but that seems to be for libraries :-( | 03:07 |

| sirninja | gogeta: thanks for helping anyway. :P | 03:07 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: the app still shows libraries when viewed with 'ldd' | 03:07 |
| __taco | I can't find Network Management icon any more, after I install b43 wireless and fglrx driver . any help? | 03:07 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/435866/ If you can fix this I feel like I should send you some payment through paypal or something. Seriously, there's a hell of a lot of text there that you're sorting through for me | 03:08 |
| onetinsoldier | lru: roger. i'm must admit, i'm not sure. for what package is this? | 03:08 |
| lordeden | gtroy, thanks for the help, i'll get started on that tommorow, gf is giving me dirty looks, her show is over | 03:08 |
| jrr | anyone else failing to resume from suspend with 10.04? | 03:08 |
| greezmunkey | BigMacDawg: I'll work in a few bars of blues bass while I wait. | 03:08 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: glabels... which is going to turn the app into a monster, with all the dependencies it has, but I need it | 03:08 |
| BigMacDawg | greezmunkey: lol, sure thing. | 03:08 |
| GTroy | lordeden, keep at it, it should be an easy fix looking back upon it | 03:08 |
| Vigo | __taco: Did you try hover mouse over the panel, Right Click>Add to Panel? | 03:09 |
| gogeta | __taco: you can configure it from your system > pref > network conections | 03:09 |
| lordeden | gtroy, there most likely is, but I need to wipe this drive anyway, wine stopped working on me as it is | 03:09 |
| gogeta | __taco: if the applet has failed for some reasion | 03:09 |
| th5418 | hi guys | 03:09 |
| onetinsoldier | lru: well, i could try to download it and see if i can see a way to enable static, but i probably won't be able to figure out much more than you have. anyway, i recommend you keep asking the main channel the question | 03:09 |
| th5418 | how can i reinstall my ubuntu, i just want to reinstall the OS! | 03:09 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: am I in the main channel? :-) | 03:09 |
| GTroy | lordeden, I was going to say a clean install takes around 20 minutes total | 03:09 |
| Vigo | __taco: Or what gorgeta said, that is a clean way also. | 03:10 |
| gogeta | th5418: insert the live cd | 03:10 |
| __taco | Vigo: can't find network management . | 03:10 |
| GTroy | lordeden, longer than we've been at this problem | 03:10 |
| GTroy | lordeden, we've been at this problem longer | 03:10 |
| th5418 | gogeta: i have the 10.04 live cd, but it doesnt let me just wipe out my old ubuntu | 03:10 |
| lordeden | gtroy, yeah, but got to spend time with the SO before bed, it will have to wait til tommorow | 03:10 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I tried to install the headers again, but it still says I can't | 03:10 |
| onetinsoldier | lru: yes... what i mean is, keep aksing the question in here, like every five minutes. | 03:10 |
| tripps | ok wait just a second. booting from the livecd by adding i915.modeset=1 as a boot parameter works. hrrmph. So KMS definitely is not enabled by default, Jordan_U | 03:11 |
| lru | onetinsoldier: ahh, thanks | 03:11 |
| GTroy | lordeden, good luck, get some rest | 03:11 |
| __taco | gogeta: infact Network management is running | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Well, it seems to have associated with an access point at least. Can you pastebin the output of "iwlist scan"? | 03:11 |
| Vigo | __taco: Have you ever used Main Menu? | 03:11 |
| lordeden | gtroy, thanks, i'll most likely be here tommorow, later | 03:11 |
| gogeta | th5418: when it gets to the partating part of the install slect manual then check the format box in gparted for your linux part you will whip old ubuntu | 03:11 |
| gogeta | whipe | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: Odd, it really should be. Could you file a bug report? | 03:12 |
| th5418 | gogeta: won't that just wipe out my whole drive? | 03:12 |
| Vigo | gogeta: I liked the first one, | 03:12 |
| __taco | Vigo: how to open Main Menu? | 03:12 |
| gogeta | th5418: just the partation you slect to format | 03:12 |
| xangua | __taco: do you have notification area in the panel¿¿ | 03:12 |
| th5418 | gogeta: crap, i guess this time ill be smart and partition my drives | 03:12 |
| Vigo | __taco: System>Preferences>Main Menu | 03:13 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, apparently known already - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes | 03:13 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: If you install from that session it should add i915.modeset=1 to the configuration of the installed system, or of course just edit /etc/default/grub and update-grub from the recovery shell | 03:13 |
| gogeta | th5418: you said you whanted to reinstall everything | 03:13 |
| gogeta | th5418: if you used auto last time it probly also made a /home partation so your stuff in /home whont get formated you just wanna format the / partation | 03:14 |
| th5418 | gogeta: i just want to reinstall the OS | 03:14 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, I'll try the latter first | 03:14 |
| th5418 | gogeta: there is only one partition | 03:14 |
| __taco | xangua: no. i can't see the icon any more. at the begin network management icon in there. | 03:15 |
| gogeta | th5418: oh you didnt make a /home | 03:15 |
| Ubantu_dude | Ahh the Ubuntu chat, I havent been here in ages | 03:15 |
| th5418 | gogeta: if i partition my drives, will it make /home in the other partition | 03:15 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/435871/ | 03:16 |
| Ubantu_dude | So Urbantu had a new release, does this mean Linux isnt completely useless on the desktop anymore? | 03:16 |
| gogeta | th5418: make 2 ext4 partation / doesent need to be very large thats where the os and apps get stored then for the second ext4 the mount point make it /home | 03:16 |
| th5418 | gogeta: about how big should 1st partition be? | 03:16 |
| IdleOne | !ot > Ubantu_dude | 03:16 |
| ubottu | Ubantu_dude, please see my private message | 03:16 |
| gogeta | th5418: 10gb should be plenty | 03:16 |
| __taco | gogeta:network conections can configure wireless ? | 03:16 |
| Ubantu_dude | How was my question off topic? | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: it isn't support related | 03:17 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Well, networks are being detected. That's a good sign. Are they showing up in the network-manager applet? If so, what happens when you try to connect to one? | 03:17 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, what would you say to installing from livecd ontop of existing ext3 partition? data backed up of course. Should it leave my /home directory alone? | 03:17 |
| gogeta | th5418: then of course make a swap | 03:17 |
| Ubantu_dude | So where should I ask questions about Urbantu then? | 03:17 |
| gogeta | th5418: if it doesent aruldy have one | 03:17 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: it spins for about 30 seconds then says Wireless Network Disconnected. It shows full strength though, and worked just fine before I deleted Windows | 03:17 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: first off I don't know what Urbantu is but I know this is Ubuntu support channel | 03:18 |
| iflema | Ubantu_dude maybe in #urbantu...... | 03:18 |
| gogeta | th5418: you should have a total on 3 parts swap 1gb is plenty / 10 gb /home rest | 03:18 |
| xangua | __taco: if you do not have notification area, then add it........ | 03:18 |
| gogeta | th5418: to make a swap when it ask for fs type slect swap | 03:18 |
| Vigo | Ubantu_dude: And that is off-topic, /join #off-topic | 03:19 |
| gogeta | th5418: then when you wanna reinstall a os you dont have to format home | 03:19 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, no such file /etc/default/grub | 03:19 |
| Ubantu_dude | I asked about the latest release and that is off-topic | 03:19 |
| crazy7 | how do I mount an ecrypted user directory? | 03:19 |
| Ubantu_dude | crazy7: prob. with mount | 03:19 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: you asked about Urbantu. what is urbantu? | 03:19 |
| Ubantu_dude | I believe Urbantu has something to do with Loonix | 03:20 |
| gogeta | th5418: if you ever need more space for apps you can always resize them later | 03:20 |
| __taco | xangua : have otification area, have volume controller icon there. | 03:20 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: ok here is a link you can read Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines and channel topics | 03:20 |
| greezmunkey | Ubantu_dude: Welcome Back! ;-) | 03:20 |
| xangua | __taco: volume control is now part of indicator applet, add notification area | 03:20 |
| Vigo | IdleOne: Thank you. | 03:20 |
| greezmunkey | heh | 03:20 |
| Ubantu_dude | Do I know you greezmunkey? | 03:20 |
| th5418 | gogeta: should i make my OS my 'primary' or my 'logical' | 03:21 |
| gogeta | th5418: primary | 03:21 |
| __taco | __taco: gogeta:network conections can configure wireless ? I don't know how to scan wireless with network conections. | 03:21 |
| gogeta | th5418: linux doesent relly care | 03:21 |
| gogeta | __taco: yes it can | 03:21 |
| greezmunkey | No man. It's simple, Ubuntu support here, anything else #ubuntu-offtopic (a place to chill whilst you wait for a Q to be answered. | 03:21 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: Ahh, you aren't automatically upgraded to grub2 even though it's the default since 9.10. | 03:22 |
| gogeta | __taco: just slect the wireless tab | 03:22 |
| crazy7 | ok, so, I reinstalled Ubuntu without reformatting. There was an encrypted user directory for a differently named user already there. Is there any way to mount that? | 03:22 |
| __taco | gogeta: how use it to scan wireless networking ? | 03:22 |
| onetinsoldier | lru: hi. i downloaded the source and did an apt-get build-dep glables. but i'm not quite familiar with how the patch is delivered. i used to there just being a '.diff' file | 03:22 |
| Omen_20 | Anyone know if the MeMenu will eventually show what broadcast accounts are active in gwibber? | 03:23 |
| lfitz | hi, i am having trouble getting eclipse and android sdk to work on 10.04 64-bit... has anyone here got this working? | 03:23 |
| gogeta | __taco: you dont relly need to fill in all the info just the ssid and key will work fine | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: To do it with grub legacy edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. You need to edit the line that starts "# defoptions=" (but don't uncomment it, it's not actually a comment) | 03:23 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: Then run update-grub | 03:23 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, how to upgrade to grub2? | 03:23 |
| Ubantu_dude | Ok fine I have a question, how do I do load balancing across two T1 connections on hdlc0 and hdlc1? | 03:23 |
| __taco | gogeta: thanks very much. I will try it tonight. | 03:23 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: that has nothing to do with ubuntu | 03:23 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: you want #networking | 03:24 |
| Ubantu_dude | Ok let me ask a serious question then | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: please don't troll. | 03:24 |
| psusi | Ubantu_dude, get a fancy cisco router and talk to your isp providing you with both connections... better yet, upgrade to a fractional t3 | 03:24 |
| gogeta | __taco: the audo may be confliting with your applet sometime just deleting the old settings from there will make it work again | 03:24 |
| Ubantu_dude | I dont want a DS3 I want 3.08 Mbps | 03:24 |
| greezmunkey | Ubantu_dude: man mlppp | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | psusi: don't feed | 03:24 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: sudo apt-get install grub-pc. You will be offered the choice to have grub2 loaded from grub legacy to confirm everything works, if you choose to do that you can run "sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy" to actually replace grub legacy with grub2. | 03:25 |
| Ubantu_dude | Why does bonding only support ethernet? | 03:25 |
| gogeta | __taco: old | 03:25 |
| psusi | sorry, just tabbed in for a second and saw what looked like an interesting question... back to working on e2defrag I guess... | 03:25 |
| greezmunkey | yikes | 03:25 |
| Ubantu_dude | I know I can trick the hdlc driver to bridge frame relay devices with the pvceth interface but it doesnt work for bonding, why not | 03:25 |
| __taco | gogeta: what old setting? | 03:25 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: I am going to ask you one more time to remain on topic for this channel. | 03:25 |
| gogeta | __taco: your wireless settings get sotred in that app | 03:26 |
| gogeta | sotred | 03:26 |
| gogeta | stored | 03:26 |
| Ubantu_dude | So I my networking questions that I have while using ubuntu I cant ask in the ubuntu chat? | 03:26 |
| shig | my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit is not automouting iPods since install. Flashdrives work OK, but iPods are recognized in "lsusb", but not automounted. Can anybody help me? | 03:26 |
| IdleOne | psusi: you can help if you like but take it to another channel. it is not ubuntu related so will just cause extra scroll in here. | 03:26 |
| __taco | gogeta: how to get rid of it , i can't see the gui of it . | 03:26 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: have we come to a dead end? | 03:27 |
| gogeta | __taco: same place i told you to go | 03:27 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: correct, because you netwroking question has nothing to do with ubuntu | 03:27 |
| === diabolic_ is now known as diabolical | ||
| Ubantu_dude | So ubuntu doesnt support networking anymore? | 03:27 |
| __taco | network connection? | 03:27 |
| === diabolical is now known as bleomycin | ||
| __taco | gogeta:network connection? | 03:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Ubantu_dude: have you tried asking in #networking? | 03:27 |
| daniel__ | anyone know how to install i386 software on 64 bit ubuntu 10.04 | 03:28 |
| gogeta | __taco: sometimes that can be a unrealible scriipt | 03:28 |
| mattpat | IdleOne: I am infinitely impressed by your long-standing patience on that one | 03:28 |
| gogeta | __taco: wicd is a good alt | 03:28 |
| gogeta | __taco: if you wanna gui script | 03:28 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: you just download the 32-bit installer for ubuntu. or, if your running 64-bit ubuntu, install the 32-bit libraries/environment | 03:29 |
| th5418 | gogeta | 03:29 |
| th5418 | are you still there | 03:29 |
| gogeta | th5418: always | 03:29 |
| th5418 | gogeta: i should have a 1gb swap? | 03:29 |
| gogeta | th5418: yea should be plenty | 03:29 |
| daniel__ | onetinsoldier could you show me how to do that... im new to ubuntu | 03:29 |
| Jordan_U | LUCIDementia: Probably. See if you can connect to the unsecured wireless network though. (I suspect the problem is with authentication) | 03:29 |
| gogeta | th5418: just close to it it whont be excat | 03:30 |
| th5418 | gogeta: my 10gb with the main on it, should it be /home or /usr or what | 03:30 |
| * greezmunkey watches Ubantu-dude diss us in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:30 | |
| th5418 | my other 'crap' of stuff is just /home right | 03:30 |
| gogeta | th5418: it should be / for the mount point | 03:30 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: my network is not password protected | 03:30 |
| xiambax | So today I bought a Quadcore iMac i7 but am having issues installing ubuntu via Parallels | 03:30 |
| gogeta | th5418: that justmeans root | 03:30 |
| th5418 | gogeta: what should the 1gb be for the mount point | 03:30 |
| xiambax | I get an i/o error when booting to iso | 03:30 |
| gogeta | th5418: none just file system type swap | 03:30 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: okm you want o install 32-bit version of ubuntu? is that correct? | 03:31 |
| trippsss | how important is it to upgrade to grub2? what features does it have that I'll miss out on? | 03:31 |
| th5418 | gogeta: with 10.04, there's a choice for swap area, i guess that's it? | 03:31 |
| LUCIDementia | Jordan_U: another problem is that my dvd player isn't working, so I haven't put any of my files back on. So if reinstalling would help that wouldn't be a problem. I'd just need to know what to do after | 03:31 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I tried to install the headers again, but it still says I can't | 03:31 |
| daniel__ | onetinsoldier i just want to be able to install a program that is 32 bit architechture | 03:31 |
| Docteh | trippsss: its more complicated ;) | 03:31 |
| xiambax | Anyone have any idea? | 03:31 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: or are you wanting to install the 32-bit library/environment? | 03:31 |
| gogeta | th5418: you aruldy have swap then dont need another | 03:31 |
| th5418 | gogeta: im still trying to figure out the mount point for my 1gb of space for swap | 03:32 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: ok, try --> sudp aptitude install ia32-libs | 03:32 |
| gogeta | th5418: there isnt one | 03:32 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: ok, try --> sudo aptitude install ia32-libs | 03:32 |
| Docteh | th5418: swap doesn't get mounted | 03:32 |
| th5418 | thanks | 03:32 |
| trippsss | Docteh: so it sounds like I should leave it well enough alone, eh? ;) | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | trippsss: There is not much change unless you heavily customize things, or want to use more advanced features or grub2 like booting from isos. | 03:32 |
| th5418 | gogeta: hmm, it says "no root system is defined" | 03:32 |
| __taco | gogeta: Network management seems more friendlily. | 03:32 |
| daniel__ | onetinsoldier ok there | 03:32 |
| crazy7 | god ecryptfs is complicated | 03:33 |
| trippsss | Jordan_U: gotcha | 03:33 |
| gogeta | th5418: did you set the mount point / for the 10 gb | 03:33 |
| th5418 | gogeta: oh i see, thanks, im stuid | 03:33 |
| Docteh | trippsss: versions after lucid might not have scripts to update grub1 menu configs | 03:34 |
| gogeta | th5418: then your remaning space the mount point will be /home | 03:34 |
| gogeta | th5418: also ext4 | 03:34 |
| trippsss | Docteh: I SEE | 03:34 |
| daniel__ | onetinsoldier anything else? | 03:34 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: i don't think so... try it | 03:34 |
| shig | my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit is not automouting iPods since install. Flashdrives work OK, but iPods are recognized in "lsusb", but not automounted. Even if I mount with "sudo mount", Rhythmbox doesn't see it. Can anybody help me? Ubuntu 9.10 used to recognize my iPod. | 03:35 |
| gogeta | th5418: heh i always install threw manul mode being i dont trust the auto so im used to it | 03:35 |
| th5418 | gogeta: if i load 10.04 with the 'trial' can i access my harddrives? | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | th5418: Yes. | 03:36 |
| edbian | th5418, Yes | 03:36 |
| daniel__ | no it didnt work... it says Error: wrong architecture 'i386' | 03:36 |
| LUCIDementia | Can someone help me connect with wireless internet? I have lucid lynx and a problem that's stumped everyone | 03:36 |
| gogeta | th5418: yes the os will see it has your /homre folder and thats where anything you saves goes | 03:36 |
| crazy7 | ok, so, I reinstalled Ubuntu without reformatting. There was an encrypted user directory for a differently named user already there. Is there any way to mount that to get out the data? | 03:37 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: what .deb package is this? | 03:37 |
| th5418 | gogeta: sweet, i want to save my .bash, thanks jordan and edbian | 03:37 |
| trippsss | Reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 it does look like grub2 has cool features, namely booting isos up and better graphic menus/splash capabilities | 03:37 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: give me a lin to download it | 03:37 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: give me a link* to download it | 03:37 |
| edbian | th5418, You can save your entire ~/.* | 03:37 |
| daniel__ | avast antivirus from here | 03:37 |
| daniel__ | http://www.avast.com/linux-home-edition#tab4 | 03:37 |
| Pelo | I have to use sudo with hddtemp, any suggestion on how to make it so I don'T need password | 03:38 |
| edbian | daniel__, You probably have already heard this but running routine virus scans really isn't necessary on linux. | 03:38 |
| gogeta | edbian: he whant to fresh install but didnt have a partating like that now he does | 03:38 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: roger. sorry, i would help, but i'm not going to try to install that | 03:38 |
| edbian | gogeta, Gotcha | 03:38 |
| gogeta | edbian: now he will be able tofresh install without losing data | 03:38 |
| edbian | gogeta, Yep | 03:38 |
| daniel__ | edbian yes, but i would like to scan files before transfering them to my windows install | 03:39 |
| Ubantu_dude | Hey I should prob. be banned from here as well | 03:39 |
| Ubantu_dude | you know, cover all the bases | 03:39 |
| edbian | daniel__, Gotcha | 03:39 |
| th5418 | on trial, how do i access my original /home? | 03:39 |
| th5418 | or what's the pwd for it | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | trippsss: Booting from iso is particularly nice if you want to follow development releases. You can keep the daily iso up to date with zsync, only downloading the changes (or use testdrive which is basically a nice front end to zsync and qemu). Then boot from the iso file without burning it, so you can easily try the latest daily iso every day :) | 03:40 |
| gogeta | daniel__: avast has a linux version now free to | 03:40 |
| shapshift3r | ive created a wee binary script called encrypt, ive put it in /usr/bin and if i cd /usr/bin and then run it like 'encrypt password' it works fine. if i try to run it from anywhere else using /usr/bin/encrypt password encrypt isnt found. | 03:40 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: provided you stay on topic and don't use foul language you can stay. | 03:40 |
| shapshift3r | I thought by putting it in /usr/bin it would be in my path? | 03:40 |
| daniel__ | gogeta yes and i am trying to install it on ubuntu 64 bit but i cant | 03:40 |
| trippsss | Jordan_U: ah pretty slick | 03:40 |
| edbian | shapshift3r, Side note: you should probably but it in /usr/local/bin | 03:40 |
| un214 | unless you changed your path it would be | 03:40 |
| un214 | however you need to issue hash command if you tried command before | 03:41 |
| edbian | shapshift3r, Than you can just "encrypt" at the cli regardless of where you are | 03:41 |
| Ubantu_dude | shapshifter: echo $PATH | 03:41 |
| gogeta | daniel__: you peobly will need the ia32-libs | 03:41 |
| Ubantu_dude | make sure it is in your path | 03:41 |
| onetinsoldier | gogeta: i already had him install that | 03:41 |
| gogeta | daniel__: i dont think they have a 64bit installer | 03:41 |
| daniel__ | gogeta could you help me install that | 03:41 |
| gogeta | daniel__: whats the error | 03:41 |
| crazy7 | sigh now even my reinstall won't boot up | 03:41 |
| daniel__ | gogeta, it says Error: wrong architecture 'i386' | 03:42 |
| gogeta | daniel__: heh | 03:42 |
| Ubantu_dude | why are the mirrors so slow right now | 03:42 |
| IdleOne | Ubantu_dude: try changing mirrors | 03:43 |
| daniel__ | do you think it may be necessary to reboot before the i386 architecture comes into effect | 03:43 |
| un214 | yes; however that might be a non-boot | 03:43 |
| Jon-- | Looking to install ZSNES (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zsnes), but I get "Package zsnes is not available, but is referred to by another package." Does this mean that there is no package for 10.04? Does it work with Wine or another alternative? What do other people use for SNES emulators? | 03:44 |
| brax | I'm worried. For some reason, I cannot enable wireless networking with the panel icon. It's grayed out. :C | 03:44 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: no. the 32-bit install is effective immediately upon installation | 03:44 |
| brax | Jon--: There are many other emulators that cover snes in the repositories. | 03:44 |
| greezmunkey | brax: what do you have in /etc/network/interfaces? (paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com) | 03:44 |
| th54181 | is there a fix for this 10.04 nouveau and nvidia crisis yet? | 03:44 |
| gogeta | daniel__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=781251 | 03:44 |
| th54181 | i've messed up my ubuntu OS like 3x | 03:44 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: the 32-bit lib package is effective immediately upon installation | 03:44 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: Run apt-get update, I installed zsnes not to long ago on htpc and it went fine | 03:45 |
| daniel__ | onetinsoldier ok | 03:45 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: I did, still get no install candidate. | 03:45 |
| Axident | Please help! Some one please tell me the secret about installing Ubuntu. I tryed to make partitions my self from live, and then start installation from both live desktop and cd. I also tryed to let Ubuntu installation use the complete hdd. Every time with same result at mounting the swap partition. It fail. Maybe I have to mention I have two hdd installed in my pc. Dev0 for windows and dev! | 03:45 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: just ran apt-get install zsnes and it ran fine for me | 03:45 |

| Reign25 | Jordan_U: You there? | 03:46 |
| th54181 | Does anybody know whether or not there is a good fix for the 10.04 nouveau and nvidia driver clash? I'm reinstalling a new 10.04 now since the old one.. i messed up | 03:46 |
| trippsss | Jordan_U: I suppose you would still be able to boot from those isos in grub2 even if they're located on a partition that is hibernated, so long as that partition is set to ro? | 03:46 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: when it comes to anti-virus, i think it would be interesting to see if you could get 32-bit version installed on a 64-bit system, but i think that in the end, most likely, there's no way to get it installed on a 64-bit system | 03:47 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: See http://pastebin.org/251538 Trust me, not working :P | 03:47 |

| th54181 | gogeta: i have a question, when i install apps, is it going to go into the '/' partition or the '/home' partition | 03:48 |
| gogeta | th54181: they go to / | 03:48 |
| Jordan_U | trippsss: Yes, but I'd be carefull. You have to be sure that the live Distro doesn't use the swap partition either. | 03:48 |
| daniel__ | gogeta thanks but it says it is not found ... i followed the instructions...well i have to go now, thank you all for your help | 03:48 |
| un214 | / | 03:48 |
| ripdisk | someone please tell me how to stop my old geforce drivers to stop loading | 03:49 |
| ripdisk | because i'm trying to use a radeon now | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: what Ubantu_dude said... find the .deb file for it and download it. then use 'dpkg' command to install the .deb file you downloaded | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | trippsss: Some live Distros, like grml, have a "phorensic" boot option that takes care of assuring all that. | 03:49 |
| daniel__ | thanks everyone goodbye | 03:49 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Yes | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: take care | 03:49 |
| gogeta | th54181: you can always resize / later if 10gb isnt enough but it should be | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | daniel__: good luck :-) | 03:49 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: See http://pastebin.org/251538 Trust me, not working :P | 03:49 |

| th54181 | gogeta: thanks, im just worried about messing up my OS crap, ive messed with it one too many times trying to deal with this nvidia/nouveau mess that came with 10.04 | 03:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: i don't think this matters too much, but what version of ubuntu are you running? | 03:50 |
| gogeta | th54181: well now if you do anything in home is safe | 03:50 |
| Jon-- | onetinsoldier: 10.04 | 03:50 |

| jnfuller | I'm having a serious problem with getting vlans set up in lucid that worked in the last lts | 03:51 |
| jnfuller | I'm on an hp dl360 platform using bnx2 | 03:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: roger.. hang on a moment | 03:52 |
| jnfuller | It seems like the configs that used to work are hopelessly broken now | 03:52 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I tried to install the headers again, but it still says I can't | 03:52 |
| kahoot | ripdisk: have you tried blacklisting the driver? | 03:52 |
| Axident | Will someone please help me installing ubuntu? | 03:52 |
| jnfuller | Has something drastically changed with the way vlans are configured? | 03:52 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: looking at your paste bin you seem to have all the repos enabled | 03:52 |
| edbian | Axident, I would love nothing more than to help you! :) | 03:52 |
| edbian | Axident, How far have you gotten? | 03:52 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: I do, and no package for zsnes | 03:53 |
| Smeh | so.. before i give up on this machine and just buy an entirely new motherboard, anyone care to help me with a 9.10 install issue? | 03:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/zsnes | 03:53 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: you are on lucid though but all of my HTPCs and server run karmic so that may be why I have no problems but you do | 03:53 |
| Smeh | I'm trying to create a softraid array in 9.10 using palimpsest but when i try and create the array is just reports "the daemon is inhibited". The installer partitioner doesn't seem to want to give me the option of creating a softraid so i don't know what to do.. | 03:53 |

| ubottu | Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !live CD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility | 03:53 |
| Jon-- | onetinsoldier: There is no x64 architecture. Is this my issue? | 03:53 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: You need to install http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/linux-headers-2.6.34-020634_2.6.34-020634_all.deb first | 03:53 |
| th54181 | Does anybody know if there is a fix to this Nouveau and Nvidia driver issue that came with Lucid/10.04? Any help would be much appreciated! | 03:54 |
| ripdisk | I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot | 03:54 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: that could be a problem | 03:54 |
| Axident | edbina: look at this: I tryed to make partitions my self from live, and then start installation from both live desktop and cd. I also tryed to let Ubuntu installation use the complete hdd. Every time with same result at mounting the swap partition. It fail. Maybe I have to mention I have two hdd installed in my pc. Dev0 for windows and dev1 for Ubuntu! | 03:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: there's the link for it, but i think maybe you have /etc/apt/sources.list problem. you should be able to just install it with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic command really | 03:54 |
| Docteh | whats palimpsest? | 03:54 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: OH! Ok. Thank you | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: You're welcome. | 03:54 |
| Smeh | disk manager? | 03:54 |
| edbian | Axident, You misspelled my name ;) | 03:54 |
| Docteh | oic | 03:54 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: could be.. hang on a moment again | 03:54 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: I then proceed to install the i386? | 03:54 |
| Jon-- | onetinsoldier: See my last reply. It may be because it only supports x86 | 03:54 |
| kahoot | ripdisk: have you tried blacklisting the driver? or am I misunderstanding your problem? | 03:54 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Yes. | 03:54 |
| Axident | sorry | 03:54 |
| Nilos | Can anyone recommend a generic driver that I can use for a wireless network adapter? (Note:The machine with linux is currently not connected to the internet0 | 03:54 |
| Docteh | Smeh: is that in the installer? or after? | 03:55 |
| Smeh | it's on the temp "livecd" ubuntu the installer runs under i guess | 03:55 |
| ripdisk | kahoot, i used to have a geforce and i switched my card.. but the geforce driver keeps loading so ubuntu won't load any other drivers | 03:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: yep... that's a problem | 03:55 |
| Docteh | Nilos: theres nothing like ne2000 for wireless cards btw | 03:55 |
| Jordan_U | Nilos: There are no generic wireless drivers, they're all vendor/chipset specific | 03:55 |
| edbian | Axident, Try booting with only 1 hdd connected. Then Try installing with only one of the hdds connected. Does it get stuck at mounting swap? Does it give any errors? | 03:55 |
| Jon-- | onetinsoldier: I really really like ZSNES for emulators. Is Wine my only option now? | 03:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: i even have the 32-bit libs installed and it won't install in my 64-bit Lucid... no installation candidate found. which means, it's not in the 64-bit repos | 03:56 |
| Docteh | Smeh: are you creating partitions and marking them for soft raid? | 03:56 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: You could roll the dice and compile it | 03:56 |
| th54181 | Does anybody know if there is a fix to this Nouveau and Nvidia driver issue that came with Lucid/10.04? Any help would be much appreciated! | 03:56 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: Then again I am almost positive zsnes relies on nasm which may be an issue | 03:56 |
| Smeh | I have 2 blank disks. they're not partitioned yet, no. that is supposed to happen as part of the install process surely | 03:57 |
| ripdisk | kahoot, are we on the same page then? what's blacklisting | 03:57 |
| acerimmer | th54181: according to the full circle magazine podcast, NO | 03:57 |
| gogeta | onetinsoldier: sudo dpkg --force-architecture should bypass 32bit checks on installer debs | 03:57 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: onetinsoldier: Found a .tar.bz from zsnes website. a ./configure had the line "Configure complete, now type 'make' and pray." Nice touch. I'll give it a try | 03:57 |
| onetinsoldier | gogeta: sure, looks like that would install it, yes. but will it run? ;-) | 03:57 |
| gogeta | onetinsoldier: worth a try isnt it | 03:57 |
| Jon-- | Gah! | 03:57 |
| Docteh | Smeh: I wouldn't trust an operating system installer with anything, they're always braindead ;) | 03:57 |
| kahoot | ripdisk: blacklisting is simply stopping a driver from starting up on boot.. I'm not sure if it would help or not | 03:58 |
| Jon-- | onetinsoldier: Ubantu_dude: "tools/fileutil.cpp:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set" Damnit. | 03:58 |
| gogeta | onetinsoldier: with ia21 installed it should | 03:58 |
| onetinsoldier | gogeta: perhaps it is.. but i doubt it will work. nothing ventured nothing gained though, so worth a shot i suppose | 03:58 |
| gogeta | ia32 | 03:58 |
| Smeh | Well, I am trying to manually create the softraid via palimpsest, but not having any luck | 03:58 |
| Smeh | don't know how to do it via the CLI | 03:58 |
| kahoot | ripdisk: there is a script file somewhere to do it, but I can't remember the directory.. | 03:58 |
| onetinsoldier | Jon--: :-( | 03:58 |
| ripdisk | oh ok | 03:58 |
| ripdisk | maybe someone else can help me | 03:58 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: You may have to try an alt. like Zsnes or Raine | 03:58 |
| ripdisk | it seems like it would be simple | 03:58 |
| laughter | onetinsoldier: i love that song | 03:58 |
| Ubantu_dude | err snes9x | 03:58 |
| ripdisk | all i'm doing is changing my video cards | 03:58 |
| ripdisk | i don't see why ubuntu is doing this | 03:59 |
| Docteh | Smeh: try manually creating partitions for software raid inside the installer and see if that helps | 03:59 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: I will try Wine first. I love ZSNES | 03:59 |
| onetinsoldier | gogeta: see my previous message to Jon-- | 03:59 |
| onetinsoldier | gogeta: i even have the 32-bit libs installed and it won't install in my 64-bit Lucid... no installation candidate found. which means, it's not in the 64-bit repos | 03:59 |
| Smeh | Docteh : it doesn't give me that option, at all | 03:59 |
| gogeta | Jon--: then you pc is not 64bit | 03:59 |
| Jon-- | gogeta: It is | 03:59 |
| ripdisk | I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot | 03:59 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Now that I have the headers, did you want me to do anything after that? | 03:59 |
| ripdisk | and i can't try to run any other drivers | 03:59 |
| ripdisk | please help, this is annoying | 03:59 |
| Axident | edbian: Only that it failed by trying to mount a filesystem with the type swap and tha i can continue from the partitions menu. | 03:59 |
| gogeta | Jon--: then you have to manuly download the deb and run sudo dpkg --force-architecture - | 03:59 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: Any real reason you are stuck on zsnes? | 03:59 |
| Smeh | in the partitioner i can make the 2 disks ext4/3/2 reiserFS etc, no mention of softraid and it whinges if i don't select a root location on either sda1 or sdb1 | 04:00 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Do you have the linux-image package installed? | 04:00 |
| Jon-- | Ubantu_dude: Used to hotkeys/interface and it plays ROMs much more stable than other ones Ihave tried | 04:00 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Yes. | 04:00 |
| Docteh | Smeh: is that text mode or graphical | 04:00 |
| Ubantu_dude | Jon--: Ok just curious | 04:00 |
| Smeh | graphical | 04:01 |
| gogeta | Jon--: if thers no 64 bit package | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Reboot, if devices still aren't being detected please run "ubuntu-bug" to file a bug report. | 04:01 |
| Reign25 | ok thank you | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: You're welcome. | 04:02 |
| edbian | Axident, Did you try to boot without that second drive connected? Is it formatted as swap? | 04:02 |
| kahoot | ripdisk: This is all I could find, maybe it's a start anyway. the blacklist directory is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 04:02 |
| Reign25 | Jordan_U: Something just popped up when I booted up this time. It was different. It said something about "sdb write through" | 04:03 |
| gogeta | onetinsoldier: you can try the same command with apt-get i guess and it should download | 04:03 |
| Axident | edbian: my first hdd has only windows and the second hdd must have the complete Linux system | 04:04 |
| gogeta | Axident: so whats the problem | 04:05 |
| Izinucs | does ephinay (sp?) show contacts that are online? | 04:05 |
| edbian | gogeta, It hangs on "mounting swap" | 04:05 |
| kahoot | I have a question.. Sometimes when a game/program starts it starts at a lower resolution than ubuntu supports and I get a "screen resolution out of range" from my moniter. What can I do to restrict the resolution or somehow fix the problem? | 04:06 |
| edbian | Axident, Is the swap partition formatted as swap? | 04:06 |
| gogeta | edbian: i say delete swap and make a new one maybe it got cruppted | 04:06 |
| edbian | gogeta, Axident Worth a shot. | 04:06 |
| gogeta | edbian: rember the filesystem type must be swap | 04:06 |
| gogeta | edbian: no mount point | 04:06 |
| edbian | gogeta, Tell Axident It's his problem | 04:07 |
| Jordan_U | kahoot: Often games will have a command line option to set the resolution. | 04:07 |
| Axident | Gogeta its not the problem | 04:07 |
| gogeta | Axident: or just reformat swap | 04:07 |
| gogeta | Axident: sounds cruppted to me | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | kahoot: If you can't do that, you can run another X server within a window with xephyr (so if an app running in xephyr tries to set the resolution, it will only change the size of the window) | 04:08 |
| gogeta | Axident: reformating it the gparted will clear any data on it | 04:08 |
| Nilos | Can anyone recommend a generic driver that I can use for a wireless network adapter? (Note:The machine with linux is currently not connected to the internet) | 04:09 |
| kahoot | Jordan_U Thanks, I'll look into it. One last thing, if I do mess my resolution up, is there a way to change it back without rebooting? | 04:09 |
| Axident | Gogeta: you suggestions have I all ready tryed. The problem is also there if I let Ubuntu make by itself! | 04:09 |
| kahoot | Jordan_U: Xrandr doesn't work from ctrl-alt-f1 terminal since the X session isn't started from there. | 04:10 |
| edbian | Nilos, Depends very much on the card. What does lspci say about your card? | 04:10 |
| gogeta | Axident: if you dont have a swap partation it makes a tempary one in ram | 04:10 |
| edbian | gogeta, He does have one. It isn't being mounted correctly for some reason | 04:11 |
| gogeta | Axident: us with netbooks and ssds avoide swaping to mutch on the drive and dont use it | 04:11 |
| Reign25 | Jordon_U: Any idea why my floppy is still showing up even though I don't have one. | 04:11 |
| Jordan_U | kahoot: "export DISPLAY=:0.0" Then you'll be able to use xrandr | 04:11 |
| ripdisk | I'm trying to switch my Gforce video card for a radeon (using regular radeon driver), but i can't get the geforce driver to stop loading so there is an error every time I boot | 04:12 |
| gogeta | edbian: he can use the live cd acd acess his drive and fstab and see whats up | 04:12 |
| kahoot | Jordan_U: where would I use that with? | 04:12 |
| edbian | gogeta, Axident, Yes do that | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: No, are removable devices showing up with the new kernel? | 04:12 |
| Reign25 | Jordon_U: No. | 04:12 |
| Jordan_U | kahoot: Run that in the terminal when you ctrl+alt+F1. Applications know what display to talk to by looking at the DISPLAY environment variable | 04:13 |
| gartral | something is causing a wierd bug in ubuntu... i dont know if it's metacity, or x, but after staring at a window for a while, the focus flashes.. given/taken/given/taken over and over, and i have to close wine apps, ove all the windows, and cycly though alt-shifter to stop the madness of flashing windows | 04:13 |

| gartral | cycle* | 04:14 |
| Jordan_U | Reign25: Could you run "ubuntu-bug" to file a bug report? | 04:14 |
| Axident | gogeta: I know all this. the problem is not what you are writing about. And i would like to have a default installation with swap. Is it possible to get som help for a default installation | 04:15 |
| kahoot | Jordan_U: Thanks! | 04:15 |
| gogeta | Axident: as i said you can start the live cd mount your drive and lok at your fstab and see where the error is and correct it | 04:15 |
| gogeta | Axident: to fix swap | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | kahoot: You're welcome. BTW, DISPLAY is also how you will tell apps to run within xephyr if you choose to do that. | 04:16 |
| Nilos | edbian:my device is a wireless usb adapter | 04:16 |
| edbian | Nilos, Does it show up in lsusb? | 04:17 |
| Nilos | edbian, yes the device does | 04:17 |
| gartral | where do i go to report bugs in launchpad? | 04:17 |
| edbian | Nilos, But not lspci?? | 04:17 |
| Reign25 | Jordon_U: Yup. Doing it now. | 04:17 |
| dukefan02011 | help please | 04:18 |
| kahoot | Jordan_U: this is a very generic question I know, but how do you figure out some of this stuff? just time and playing around with the command line? | 04:18 |
| Reign25 | Jordon_U: Should I file the report for external or internal storage devices? | 04:18 |
| Axident | gogeta I dont know anythin about fstab, sorry. And i absolutly not know how to fix anything. But I know that this pc had Ubuntu installed for a few hours ago. | 04:18 |
| Nilos | edbian, no only stuff like my built-in ethernet and audio show up | 04:18 |
| ravibn | Hi! What would you advice to install on Dell Latitude e6510 ? a server edition or desktop ? | 04:19 |
| Nilos | rav depends on what you plan to use it for | 04:19 |
| gogeta | Axident: if it worked a few hrs ago and stoped should like my first guess was right | 04:19 |
| dukefan02011 | I have a macbook running snow leopard OSX and I want to dual boot it with ubuntu linux 10.4, I am a complete newbie | 04:19 |
| gogeta | Axident: swap got cruppted | 04:19 |
| dukefan02011 | please help me | 04:20 |
| Reign25 | Jordon_U: It says I need to specify a package. | 04:20 |
| gogeta | Axident: i guess if you dont wanna try and fixx it you can always reinstall | 04:20 |
| tripps | Jordan_U, nope that didn't work (updating defoptions, upgrading grub and rebooting) | 04:20 |
| Jon-- | I have no sound in Ubuntu. The visual display is a white unfilled speaker icon with three dashses.. Sound settings seem to be the same. Help? | 04:20 |
| ravibn | Nilos : There are lot of new HW improvements | 04:20 |
| ravibn | Nilos: on this notebook | 04:20 |
| dukefan02011 | any suggestions? | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | tripps: Does /proc/cmdline show the kernel parameter? | 04:21 |
| dukefan02011 | please? | 04:21 |
| alanm_7805 | I made the switch from 8.10 to 10.04, restored /usr/local/bin from backup successfully, all old scripts run great, no new scripts run, permissions and owners are correct, ? | 04:22 |

| RoDiMuS-X | dukefan02011: I know when I installed ubuntu on my windows machine it allowed me to adjust the partitions with out messing it up | 04:24 |
| IdleOne | Jon--: the speaker with 3 dashes means the sound is muted | 04:24 |
| Nilos | edbian, I have tried to run the install in WINE and tried LINUXANT, and still NOTHING | 04:24 |
| RoDiMuS-X | dukefan02011: i used a USB flash drive to install mine | 04:24 |

| charless40 | nadie habla espanol | 04:26 |
| edbian | Nilos, I don't think I can help. All I can say is that the drivers on the CD are for windows and will be useless for windows and that it doesn't look good because the system doesn't recognize it as a wifi device. | 04:26 |

| elric | Anybody know how to fix the crackling sound in wine? | 04:31 |
| perlsyntax | what you mean | 04:31 |
| edbian | astrobill, It should automatically if you install the card connect the monitor to it and reboot | 04:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Punker: then, you can just use 'dpkg' to uninstall it... dpkg --purge <package_name> | 04:31 |
| perlsyntax | perl 5.10.1 and gcc and python 2.6.5 | 04:32 |
| astrobill | edbian: I cannot enable desktop effects | 04:32 |
| Punker | onetin: its doing its thing. Where will the .deb file be ? same dir ? | 04:32 |
| IdleOne | dhila: ok so Synaptic is closed now correct? | 04:32 |
| edbian | astrobill, Usually just connecting the card changes things at the motherboard level | 04:32 |
| perlsyntax | uRock | 04:32 |
| dukefan02011 | when you install it will it partition you drive so you can go on to Snow Leopard or ubuntu whenever you want? | 04:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Punker: you won't need the .deb file, unless you're just wanting to save it | 04:32 |
| uRock | can't they be installed via a PPA? | 04:32 |
| edbian | astrobill, With which device? The mobo graphics or the card? | 04:32 |
| dhila | Idle0ne: Yes | 04:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Punker: but it makes it right there in the directory you're working in | 04:32 |
| IdleOne | dhila: ok open Synaptic again and try | 04:32 |
| edbian | dukefan02011, Yes between a reboot of course | 04:32 |
| perlsyntax | i don't know where i can get the new gcc anf perl 5.10.1 and python 2.6.5 | 04:33 |
| edbian | dukefan02011, But you can boot from the CD without affecting your computer at all. It's very cool. That's why the call it a live CD. | 04:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: so you're running Karmic right now? | 04:33 |
| RoDiMuS-X | has anyone else noticed the wireless flashes off and on? | 04:33 |

| uRock | perlsyntax, I am not sure either, but the only way to get them if Lucid doesn work is by compiling from source | 04:34 |

| onetinsoldier | RedXIII|Laptop: hello again. i gave you link to wrong place earlier | 04:49 |
| shazzam6999 | if you're using alsa you can run alsamixer in the cli and turn the beep off, then as root run alsactl store | 04:49 |
| RedXIII|Laptop | o.o well I already installed handbrake | 04:50 |
| RedXIII|Laptop | tried piping the mp4 file in, it scanned and said no titles on it | 04:50 |
| RedXIII|Laptop | I imagine that means its a lost cause | 04:50 |

| edbian | dm_, I wish I knew enough to be elitist! | 04:54 |
| shazzam6999 | dm_: hah that was the first distro I tried and I felt the same way | 04:54 |
| gartral | something is causing a wierd bug in ubuntu... i dont know if it's metacity, or x, but after staring at a window for a while, the focus flashes.. given/taken/given/taken over and over, and i have to close wine apps, over all the windows, and cycle though alt-shifter to stop the madness of flashing windows | 04:54 |
| IdleOne | edbian: you know enough not to be :) | 04:54 |
| dm_ | edbian: I wanted a simple copy paste from a config, and they wanted me to read a 35 page man page about it | 04:54 |
| edbian | IdleOne, Thanks :) | 04:54 |
| edbian | dm_, Ha ha | 04:55 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: So what've you been up to? | 04:55 |
| bluefoxx | Ok, here's my deal. On my desktop, which yes, runs windows(and no I'm not interested in switching), I have become very strapped for diskspace. That being the case, I had 20 gigs of unpartitioned space on my D drive, which held some very important project files along with the entirety of %program files%. I decided I would do what I've done a dozen times prior without issue, and resize it from a liveCD | 04:56 |
| dm_ | this "LTS" release has borked my vid drivers ( had to do a huge hack just to get 3d working) my fan is now always on. My edge scrolling is still broken (since alpha and 4 month old bug). They seem to be caring much more about how it looks than it functions | 04:56 |
| bluefoxx | So I began this process, and in the middle of the actual move, ubuntu decided to crash on me. Hard. | 04:56 |
| Firefishe | dm_: I'm sticking with Karmic until further notice. My system is nice and stable ;) hee | 04:56 |
| bluefoxx | Won't respond to CAB, won't respond to raising elephants. It's dead in the water, which has turned to black ice. | 04:56 |
| dm_ | Firefishe dont get me started on karmic. | 04:57 |
| dm_ | that was a joke of a release | 04:57 |
| onetinsoldier | Firefishe: working.. taking care of my rental houses. but this is offtopic. we should really talk in ubuntu-offtopic or via pm | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | bluefoxx: alt-sysrq-k | 04:57 |
| Firefishe | onetinsoldier: ah, you're right of course. Soryr. | 04:57 |
| bluefoxx | What tools are avaible to me to boot off of USB and recover the partition? | 04:57 |
| Firefishe | sorry | 04:57 |
| bluefoxx | IdleOne, Done that | 04:57 |
| bluefoxx | Nothing. | 04:57 |
| krishnandu | Hey friends, Is there any good cd/dvd burner?? Brasero doesn't seems to be good. It doesn't allows me to burn mp3 disc n etc. Googling around gave me result k3b. But it's for KDE. Can I install it in GNOME?? Or anything better you'd like to suggest?? | 04:57 |
| bluefoxx | When I say it's dead in the water I mean it's dead in the water and locked in ice | 04:57 |
| likemindead | Anyone flashed their BIOS in Ubuntu before? :-\ | 04:57 |
| IdleOne | bluefoxx: same as on the live cd. see !usb | 04:58 |
| shazzam6999 | krishnandu: yeah you can install k3b on gnome and its my favorite... although I don't burn mp3s | 04:58 |
| linknop | join #backtrack-italia | 04:58 |
| edbian | bluefoxx, Did it finish the partition? | 04:58 |
| bluefoxx | edbian, Not even close | 04:58 |
| krishnandu | <shazzam6999> Ok. Thanx. But Brasero is not that good | 04:58 |
| k3rn | hi | 04:58 |
| bluefoxx | Was maybe 5Gb in out of 270 | 04:58 |
| edbian | bluefoxx, Well I don't see what option you have then to hard reboot | 04:58 |
| dm_ | likemindead: unless your manufact/OEM has ez flash bios, or something similiar, they have to have a linux specific bios flash utility, otherwise you could bork your computer | 04:58 |
| IdleOne | krishnandu: you can also try gnomebaker | 04:58 |
| bluefoxx | YEs | 04:58 |
| bluefoxx | I plan to | 04:58 |
| bluefoxx | But after that | 04:59 |
| edbian | bluefoxx, The live cd again | 04:59 |
| shazzam6999 | krishnandu: Well I always use k3b and I've never had any issues | 04:59 |
| krishnandu | <IdleOne> Ok. Lemme check it out :) | 04:59 |
| edbian | bluefoxx, Maybe a different physical disk in light of the recent crash | 04:59 |
| === sick0 is now known as Guest14165 | ||
| bluefoxx | I certainly can't boot windows without my %program files%, nor my pagefile | 04:59 |
| krishnandu | <shazzam6999> Ya seems that k3b is best. Atleast google says that :P | 04:59 |
| cwillu_at_work | any tricks to getting a grub prompt when you've got one of the many machines which grub won't prompt when you hold shift down? | 04:59 |
| bluefoxx | edbian, Don't have any other disks. | 04:59 |
| bluefoxx | Everything is full. Filled. | 04:59 |
| dm_ | I like brasero over k3b personally | 05:00 |
| shazzam6999 | krishnandu: its easy enough to try it out anyways and see if it does what you need it to | 05:00 |
| dm_ | But im partial to GTK | 05:00 |
| bluefoxx | I'm supposed to be getting a few 1500Gb drives in the coming month | 05:00 |
| krishnandu | Thanks guys. I'd like to try out k3b. | 05:00 |
| shazzam6999 | brasero wasn't doing everything he needed it to | 05:00 |
| likemindead | Bummer. | 05:00 |
| shazzam6999 | krishnandu: gl =) | 05:00 |
| krishnandu | <shazzam6999> Ya seems that it fulfills my requirements, atleast from the screenshots | 05:00 |
| dm_ | shazzam6999: what did he need? I must of missed/lagged | 05:00 |

| wildbat | k3rn, just change it in editor?? | 05:05 |
| k3rn | wildbat: its a variable in a shell script | 05:05 |
| gartral | bluefoxx: im 100% sure i screwed the name up, it's synaptic disk somthing.. i havent used it in years, and the liscence aint cheap (not saying its not possible to get it "otherwise" but it;s an $80 disk with a $1000 corporate key) | 05:06 |
| g00dwill1 | Has anyone had success with rotating one of two displays CCW while in twinview using an invidia card ? | 05:06 |
| wildbat | k3rn, and most editor like gedit have search and replace. | 05:06 |
| gartral | bluefoxx: but i know it will at least get your data back | 05:06 |
| k3rn | wildbat: i want to have i dynamical | 05:07 |
| onetinsoldier | krishnandu: you might want to look at ffmpeg/winff maybe | 05:07 |
| gartral | g00dwill1: whats an "invidia" card? | 05:07 |
| bluefoxx | I've crawled the corners of the net for less likely things(Come to think of it, I've likely lost my Solaris/2.6 source code now too) | 05:07 |

| krishnandu | paris, Connect database?? | 05:14 |

| g00dwill1 | gartral: Tried, but I believe seperate x screens have to setup for this to work and Xinerama enabled. | 05:16 |

| dm_ | theadmin because there is a built in config for the splash screen right? not everyone can do it. Thats my complaint | 05:26 |

| gartral | theadmin: some instances of splash screens dont go away after boot.. i remember 6.06 in my nvidia 8400.. the splash wouldnt go away, and i had to literally work around it.. | 05:27 |
| krishnandu | paris: other members will be able to tell you better | 05:28 |

| fitzgen | onetinsoldier: k | 06:53 |

| Riverthief | like | 07:13 |
| Riverthief | a vista cd | 07:13 |
| Riverthief | runnign win7 though | 07:13 |
| jabirali | Riverthief, you don't need to uninstall Grub, but you would have to let Windows install its bootloader | 07:13 |
| Kamaris | moetunes: /home is owned by root, /home/kamaris is owned by kamaris | 07:13 |
| jabirali | Riverthief, once Windows installs NTLDR (or whatever bootloader win7 is using), Grub will be ignored | 07:13 |
| Riverthief | So, would Vista install media work? | 07:14 |
| jabirali | Riverthief, I suspect the win install cd can do that for you, "recovery" or something | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | until he's in Linux and something triggers 'update-grub2', hehe | 07:14 |
| Riverthief | Just to fix the MBR and let me boot in? | 07:14 |
| Riverthief | k | 07:14 |
| jabirali | onetinsoldier, I thought that only updated /boot/grub/grub.cfg and not overwrote the MBR? | 07:14 |
| onetinsoldier | jabirali: i think it'll install it again. i could be wrong | 07:15 |
| moetunes | Kamaris: by the error you said you got the files in /home/kamaris must not be - at least some of them - ls -la ~ to tell | 07:15 |
| jabirali | onetinsoldier, wouldn't you have to specifically run "grub-install (hd0)" to overwrite it? At least that's how it worked in grub1, but it might have changed. | 07:15 |
| === shiny_ is now known as sh1ny | ||
| jabirali | onetinsoldier, in grub1 the MBR (stage1) would only point to the location of the grub files on the system (stage2), which would contain all other settings | 07:16 |
| jabirali | onetinsoldier, and AFAIK update-grub only updated stage2 | 07:16 |

| rocket16 | Hello atroy1994 | 07:21 |
| jabirali | dyllan, have you tried using the web interface instead? I personally prefer it, as it is more featureful | 07:21 |
| atroy1994 | hello | 07:22 |
| jabirali | dyllan, visit http://localhost:631 to configure printers from your webbrowser | 07:22 |

| tripelb | o /etc/X11/xorg.conf --> Driver "openchrome" <-- in section "Device" ===== and it is still there. | 07:23 |
| jabirali | dyllan, 200 users? Why do you need to switch default printers as a user then? | 07:23 |
| tripelb | Hope that being thorough will get me help and get this worked out. TY | 07:24 |
| Hopeless8009 | i cant find it | 07:24 |
| dyllan | jabirali, each users needs to be able to select their default printer, we have 4 branches, and at least 10 printers at each branch, users need to be able to set/ change their default printer as they require. | 07:24 |
| jabirali | dyllan, aha, I see. Changing the default printer in gnome-cups-manager changes the default for _all_ users though | 07:25 |
| jabirali | dyllan, that would configure what printer is used by default by the printer server | 07:26 |
| inayet | I just downloaded drupal 6 on ubuntu, but do not know where it went... | 07:26 |
| dyllan | jabirali, ok that makes sense now, no wonder a normal user cant set that, so how would a user set their default then? | 07:26 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: check ~/Downloads | 07:26 |
| atroy1994 | how is ubuntu pronounced? | 07:26 |
| gartral | dyllan: there IS an alternative, but it's not user friendly... you need to make custom rules for each user, and then, when they want to change printers, they must get ahold of an admin | 07:27 |
| MACscr_lappy | how do i use drivers like fglrx on the live cd when it requires a reboot? =P | 07:27 |
| dyllan | atroy1994, oooboontwo | 07:27 |
| rocket16 | !ubuntu | atroy1994 | 07:27 |

| switchgirl | hi i want to mount an iso i need to install Lucid - i have messed up settings on the current install so my question how to mount an iso and install without burning to cd or loosing files | 07:27 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier: how do I do that? is there a command? | 07:28 |
| moetunes | !iso | switchgirl | 07:28 |
| ubottu | switchgirl: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 07:28 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: ls ~/Downloads | 07:28 |
| dyllan | gartral, why is there no easy way of doing it, doesnt make sense? KDE has an app to allow user to modify default printer, surely Gnome cant be far behind? | 07:28 |
| L33tCh | atroy1994, though don't draw out the ooo too much | 07:28 |
| atroy1994 | are all of u developers? | 07:29 |
| rocket16 | switchgirl: You can use gmount-iso too. | 07:29 |
| MACscr_lappy | atroy1994: of course not | 07:29 |
| onetinsoldier | atroy1994: no.. not at all | 07:29 |
| mostafakvd | hi there my usb laser mouse does not work how could I solve that? | 07:29 |
| mostafakvd | plz | 07:29 |
| jabirali | dyllan, I'm not quite sure... Are these users all on the same computer, or on different computers connected to a printer server by using /etc/cups/client.conf ? | 07:29 |
| rocket16 | atroy1994: All are not, but some are. But most are users, who like to help others, and exchange words about Ubuntu. | 07:29 |
| dyllan | jabirali, they are all on the same computer | 07:29 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier - nothing happens when I enter ls ~/Downloads | 07:30 |
| rachel_ | hello everyone | 07:30 |
| mostafakvd | hi there my usb laser mouse does not work how could I solve that? | 07:30 |
| gartral | dyllan: the main difference between KDE and gnome is KDE is monolithic in nature: all settins have a home in the KDE-settings-manager.. where in gnome, it's all modular, each setting has a GUI for it's functions.. this can cause certain lesser used functions to become.. neglected.. in gnome | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: ok, then it's not in there. do the following... sudo updatedb | 07:30 |
| atroy1994 | exept ubuntu, do they solve hardware probs? | 07:30 |
| switchgirl | rocket16, thanks | 07:30 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: when that's done, try.... locate drupal | 07:30 |
| L33tCh | mostafakvd: I'd check for USB options in the BIOS, enable legacy if possible | 07:31 |
| dyllan | gartral, make some sense. | 07:31 |
| rachel_ | is there anyone here knowledgeable about ubuntu on Acer laptops? | 07:31 |
| rocket16 | switchgirl: My pleasure, :) | 07:31 |
| inayet | what does sudo stand for? | 07:31 |
| dyllan | gartral, although i would think writing an application to manage printers in Gnome would be easy for a python developer. | 07:31 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: superuser do | 07:31 |
| red2kic | inayet: Please. | 07:31 |
| mostafakvd | L33tCh: beleive or not I simply plug out the power cord and wait just 3 min | 07:32 |
| mostafakvd | L33tCh: then all things work well | 07:32 |
| MACscr_lappy | gartral: lol, that didnt work out well. Now i dont have anything on the screen besdes console messages on the right. How can i access console since X isnt working anymore? | 07:32 |
| gartral | dyllan: smegit! it's 2:30 am here, that's as good a sensable post as your getting out of me | 07:32 |
| rachel_ | my acer has a reoccuring problem ... it often hangs about 2 seconds into the boot sequence | 07:32 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier - how do I locate drupal ? | 07:32 |
| switchgirl | rocket16, :s | 07:32 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: try.... locate drupal | 07:32 |
| dyllan | gartral, jabirali, my only saving grace here is that fortunately applications seem to revert to the most commonly used printer. | 07:32 |
| billybigrigger | can i setup a raid with 3 disks, 1x1TB and 2x500GB? | 07:32 |
| L33tCh | mostafakvd: ah, hmmm, that's an interesting one... keep working when you plug it back in? | 07:32 |
| mostafakvd | L33tCh: but here is the problem when this happens for u 10 times an hour then what should u do? | 07:32 |
| dyllan | gartral, hah, fair enough, thanks ;) | 07:33 |
| MACscr_lappy | billybigrigger: that doesnt even make sense | 07:33 |
| MACscr_lappy | what kind of raid are you even wanting? | 07:33 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: you really might want to try --> http://linuxcommand.org/ :-) | 07:33 |
| snoopy | hi | 07:33 |
| snoopy | how do i install flash on a 64bit pc? | 07:33 |
| billybigrigger | well technically i could stripe them, and thats about it, right? | 07:33 |
| jabirali | dyllan, I'm googling ;). There was a tool called gnome-default-printer or something before, but it seems like it disappeared years ago :( | 07:33 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier: I got a lot of text | 07:34 |
| MACscr_lappy | snoopy: it installed fine for me by just using the installer | 07:34 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: is drupal an install package? you install it? | 07:34 |
| MACscr_lappy | aka, the software manager | 07:34 |
| snoopy | really? which installer? | 07:34 |
| jabirali | dyllan, right now I'm trying to figure out if there's some way to set the defaults for all GTK apps or something | 07:34 |
| gartral | billybigrigger: yes.. and no.. you'll need to raid 1 the 2xtb in software, then raid 1 the softraid disks to your real 1tb in hardware.. but i warn you! this is SLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW | 07:34 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: is drupal an installed* package? you install it? | 07:34 |
| rachel_ | anyone? | 07:34 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier: Yeah I used the ubuntu software center | 07:34 |
| L33tCh | mostafakvd: it doens't sound to me like a driver issue or anything, though if it is, i'm affraid i won't be able to help just yet, but the first thing's i'd try are the BIOS options or even updating the BIOS of tha machine... | 07:35 |
| dyllan | jabirali, yup i also came across the gnome-default-printer but you are right it is no longer.. . im pretty stumped! | 07:35 |
| rocket16 | atroy1994: We solve hardware problems, like issues with Ubuntu here. For example, suppose you have a drive not working with Ubuntu, in that case we can help you. | 07:35 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: you can do... locate drupal | less ....use 'q' key to quit out of less. page up and page up keys to page through... or arrow keys up and down to go one line at a time | 07:35 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier: its located at /usr/share/drupal6 | 07:35 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: page up and page down* | 07:35 |
| rachel_ | rocket: are you able to help me? | 07:35 |
| mostafakvd | L33tCh: how could I update the BIOS? | 07:36 |
| mostafakvd | L33tCh: my laptop is VAIO VGN-FW390J | 07:36 |
| rocket16 | rachel_: Me? | 07:36 |
| rocket16 | rachel_: Sure, what is the problem? | 07:36 |
| rachel_ | rocket: dunno, you said you help solve hardware problems right? | 07:36 |
| inayet | onetinsoldier: its also in /etc/drupal | 07:37 |
| billybigrigger | gartral, couldn't i setup all 3 disks in raid0? | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: since it's an installed package, you can also you the 'dpkg' command to list where it's installed files are, like so... dpkg -L drupal | less | 07:37 |
| rocket16 | rachel_: Actually, I said that if any problem is related to Ubuntu and hardware, we might try to help you. If there is any specific problem, please do ask here, so that we can try to help here. | 07:37 |
| onetinsoldier | inayet: if you wondering where the executable is, try... dpkg -L drupal | grep bin | 07:38 |
| gartral | billybigrigger: you'll end up with 1.5 tb | 07:38 |
| L33tCh | mostafakvd: sony have an update utility if you just search for the model and go to the driver page.. only problem i see is that they only seem to have it as a winedows app | 07:38 |
| mikepq2008 | How're y'all doing tonight? | 07:38 |

| jabirali | dyllan, I'm not sure if Gnome apps also adhere to this, or if it's only for lp commands | 07:40 |

| MACscr_lappy | i either need to quit and go back to windows (God i hope not) or i have to figure it i out | 08:09 |
| moetunes | MACscr_lappy: I have a post that might help - one min | 08:09 |
| Cynthia | disappearedng: (+) My configuration would have eth0. | 08:09 |
| noren | xserver was working fine in karmic but goes to blank after the lucid upgrade | 08:09 |
| moetunes | MACscr_lappy: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 08:10 |
| marco_111 | im getting this error please help :( | 08:10 |
| marco_111 | No Root file system is defined please correct this from the partitioning menu | 08:10 |

| Cynthia | (Repeat from 24 min ago) My computer, running Ubuntu Lucid i386, refuses to update the linux package using a regular 'apt-get upgrade' command. Let's assume I don't have access to a GUI (as I know the Update Manager works, from LiveCD use). What should I use to have 'linux' get upgraded? | 08:10 |
| disappearedng | Cynthia: still doesn't work http://paste.pocoo.org/show/215592/ | 08:10 |
| bilge_21 | Hi! How to add to Eclipse the OpenJDK on Ubuntu ? It can see the SunJava but no the openjdk.. :( | 08:10 |
| marco_111 | Here is the screenshot : http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/6527/screenshotpr.png | 08:10 |
| marco_111 | can anyone help me? | 08:11 |
| xeross_ | Somehow my programs keep closing, normally it would happen when one runs out of RAM memory but only 40% of it is being used | 08:11 |
| marco_111 | anybody? | 08:11 |
| moetunes | Cynthia: does it give an error - what makes you think there is an update to linux available? | 08:11 |
| Cynthia | disappearedng: You've edited the configuration to be correct, great - but it still won't start until eth0 goes up, which means it has to go back down first. Reboot to test, or issue 'sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0' | 08:11 |
| marenostrum | Hello. Ubuntu 9.10 here. I've had Miro (Internet TV) installed. Today, - I believe that after the updates related with gdm, xserver-common, xserver-xorg-core - Miro is uninstalled without any warning or something like that. Any idea? | 08:12 |

| Cynthia | Appears in apt-get upgrade's output | 08:12 |
| marco_111 | How can i solve this error message "No Root file system is defined please correct this from the partitioning menu" | 08:12 |
| disappearedng | Cynthia: how come when I am getting: Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0. when I do a `sudo ifup eth0` | 08:12 |
| disappearedng | ifconfig lists eth0 and lo as interfaces | 08:13 |
| moetunes | Cynthia: isn't that because you use the 386 one? | 08:13 |
| MACscr_lappy | moetunes: my biggest problem are 1) i have two different model ati cards (3200 and 4850) 2) i need to be able to use all 3 at the same time. Aka, move windows between them all, etc. I dont think xrandr supports mutiple gpu's (note: im not trying to do any type of crossfire or anything like that) | 08:13 |
| Cynthia | tripelb: To help with that problem, we need to know what the brand of your video chipset is, e.g. nVidia, ATI, Trident etc. | 08:13 |
| tripelb | Cynthia, My video card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. KM400/KN400/P4M800 [S3 UniChrome] (rev 01)] | 08:13 |

| Cynthia | moetunes: Only an update && upgrade command | 08:23 |
| elric | Anybody know how to fix the crackling sound? | 08:24 |

| Cynthia | moetunes: Problem solved, thanks :) I didn't know that apt-get's install could also upgrade | 08:25 |

If I understand correctly there's another driver called "radeon" available, and I would like to try if that fixed the problems I'm having.

| lanoxx | hi, for some reason firefox doesnt show pdfs anymore, i have to download the pdf and open it manually, it used to open it inline before | 08:31 |
| Cynthia | lanoxx: What change occurred between "before" and "now"? | 08:31 |
| Cynthia | Did you reinstall Ubuntu and have a certain inline viewer installed before? Were you on Windows? [afaik the default is to open the document externally with Evince] | 08:32 |
| habanany | I need help with grub | 08:34 |
| HammerHead66 | http://www.prisonplanet.com/# | 08:34 |
| rachel_ | i need help with my laptop | 08:34 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: whats up? | 08:35 |
| HammerHead66 | please just ask what you need help with | 08:35 |
| jabirali | lanoxx, opening it inline probably means you had "acroread" installed, it comes with a firefox plugin | 08:35 |
| rachel_ | viliny: my laptop hangs when i boot ubuntu | 08:35 |
| HammerHead66 | what does it say on screen? | 08:35 |
| jabirali | lanoxx, try: sudo apt-get install acroread | 08:35 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: has it always done this or just recently started doing it? | 08:35 |
| habanany | what should i do here # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update | 08:35 |
| habanany | # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 08:35 |

| rachel_ | viliny: i installed ubuntu 10.04 recently ... | 08:36 |
| rachel_ | viliny: it doens't always hang ... only sometimes | 08:36 |
| rachel_ | viliny: but i tied it 15 times today and it hung every time, but tonight booted with no problems | 08:36 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: i had the same problem on my laptop when 10.04 was a release candidate - newer version however worked. I have no idea how to fix your problem though, maybe someone more experienced can give you a way to debug it and try and fix it | 08:36 |
| rachel_ | viliny: how do i get someone's attention? | 08:37 |
| a3ist | rachel: I just tabbed over; where are you hanging and do you have intel integrated graphics | 08:37 |
| [Screamo] | Anyone know of a good place to find themes for 10.04? | 08:37 |
| a3ist | gnome-look.org | 08:38 |
| rachel_ | a3inst: tabbed over? | 08:38 |
| a3ist | was in another channel | 08:38 |
| a3ist | missed the start of the convo | 08:38 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: most likely multiple channels open represented in tabs at the bottom of the screen in irc-client | 08:38 |
| rachel_ | k | 08:38 |
| a3ist | was actually 4 workspaces over, in another distribution of linux via virtualbox :P | 08:39 |
| rachel_ | a3ist: r u an expert? | 08:39 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: my guess is you need to boot ubuntu in a way that lets you see what it does and where it hangs, don't remember how thats done right now though | 08:39 |
| viliny__ | a3ist: this is typed into a vbox running on a work computer ;) | 08:39 |
| a3ist | rachel_ that's a bit of a relative term :P But I had a problem with the system hanging at a black screen on my laptop after installing Lucid | 08:39 |
| rachel_ | what did you do about it? | 08:39 |
| HammerHead66 | go into grub went it starts up | 08:39 |
| a3ist | viliny__, I'm setting up arch in a vb test env before I try switchin my laptop over to it | 08:40 |
| viliny__ | a3ist: sounds like a good idea | 08:40 |
| a3ist | rachel_: I have intel graphics (855gm) and had to enable the boot param "i915.modeset=1" | 08:40 |
| noren | http://pastebin.com/xzxyAvse << this is my Xorg.log i cant make any head or tail.. please help | 08:40 |
| a3ist | you can add it through the grub menu for a once-only execution, or to /etc/default/grub and run sudo update-grub to make it permanent | 08:40 |
| rachel_ | a3ist: how did you find out that u needed to do that? | 08:40 |
| a3ist | if, that is, you have intel graphics and that is the particular problem: hanging after grub but pre-GDM | 08:41 |

| a3ist | rachel_: Because I realized I could boot in recovery mode into low graphical mode, and realized it had disabled the video drivers. | 08:41 |
| a3ist | rachel_, didn't take long to trace it back, google to find the applicable package, and force the default via grub | 08:41 |
| lanoxx | jabirali, | 08:41 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: do you have intel gfx? | 08:41 |
| rachel_ | mine doesn't even get that far | 08:41 |
| lanoxx | jabirali, im reinstalling it now | 08:41 |

| danmart | Hi, how to make the Russian language in gvenview in my ubuntu 10.04? | 08:42 |
| a3ist | rachel_, you could try removing the "silent" options and see if you get more verbose output during boot | 08:42 |
| rachel_ | i mean it does sometimes, i'm using it now for example, but often it doesn't. today 15 times in a row it didn't boot then tonight it booted fine | 08:42 |
| noren | moetunes: how can i do that i m new here !! | 08:42 |
| rachel_ | i've removed the silent options | 08:42 |
| moetunes | noren: do you see the boot menu when the comp starts? | 08:43 |
| viliny__ | rachel_: do you get any output then? and have you tried upgrading nvidia drivers? | 08:43 |
| noren | moetunes: i can get to the recovery mode but theres no option to change the display | 08:43 |
| HammerHead66 | http://www.prisonplanet.com/# | 08:44 |
| a3ist | rachel_, also can you boot into recovery mode's low-graphical session, and does that have the same problems? You could try purging the drivers and reinstalling them as well | 08:44 |
| rachel_ | viliny: i've upgraded the nvidia drivers. video is fine. i thought it had something to do with the no-hlt parameter ... | 08:44 |
| Cynthia | rachel_: Are you using the binary nVidia driver by any chance? And did you just update your kernel? | 08:45 |
| bodinux | Hi my new kernel fails to boot | 08:45 |
| moetunes | noren: if you select the normal ubuntu kernel to boot into and hit the e button you can edit the kernel parameter and add the modeset | 08:45 |
| noren | moetunes: simply additionally type modeset there | 08:45 |
| Cynthia | bodinux: Fails how? What version of the kernel did you get, or build? What options did you give to 'make menuconfig' for the kernel, if applicable? | 08:45 |
| moetunes | noren: you need to add i915.modeset=1 apparently - then press b to boot | 08:46 |
| noren | lemme me try that and then come back here, | 08:46 |
| noren | exit | 08:46 |
| moetunes | a3ist: knows about it | 08:46 |
| moetunes | noren | 08:46 |
| bodinux | Cynthia : I installed 10.4, then configured my computer with the partitions and stuff, updated all the packages, and now upon boot, I have a list of text displayed on the monitor, then black screen, then nothing, no answer from the keyboard (caps lock doesn't even light the led) | 08:47 |
| dekroning | which Xorg version does the latestet ubuntu use? (10.04) | 08:47 |
| a3ist | noren: To pass the i915.modeset=1 parameter you'd press E at the grub menu, and add that to the same line as "quiet" and "splash" | 08:47 |
| moetunes | a3ist: he left | 08:48 |
| Cynthia | bodinux: What is the text displayed? Take a picture of it with a camera and post it somewhere as needed, or use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ to type it out and give us a link | 08:48 |
| bodinux | Cynthia, I did the install already twice, twice ,the same problem. Installation on my other computer (laptop) just goes fine. | 08:48 |

| nikolam | Sometimes, it follows linked dirs inside shared dir, sometimes dont | 08:50 |
| [Screamo] | nikolam, you mean like instead for say music it come up with a bunch of letters and numbers? | 08:50 |
| [Screamo] | err | 08:50 |
| nikolam | [Screamo], no, when browsing Smb share from annother computer, it gives no access to linked dir, but access denied | 08:50 |
| Medievalchips2 | danmart nu tam est | 08:50 |
| Cynthia | bodinux: then your problem is probably a grub configuration mistake that the installer made | 08:51 |
| [Screamo] | yea ive got the problem to | 08:51 |
| nikolam | and in some other time, it works fine. and then dont | 08:51 |
| [Screamo] | i think i fixed it by switching to root and sharing from there | 08:51 |
| Cynthia | bodinux: (+) do you know if you're using grub or grub2? | 08:51 |
| bodinux | Cynthia : well the computer starts to boot on 10.4 then freezes, so I think that grub is ok | 08:51 |

| Jenshae | Now, anyone know how or where or what I do to manually set up the boot file to find my Linux partition and dual boot? | 09:00 |
| L33tCh | MACscr_lappy: ok, but to be sure, have you brought up the menu at boot to try select the drive manually since the reinstall? long shot i know, but somethign else to try | 09:01 |
| Jenshae | Thank you. | 09:01 |
| === ecsi is now known as Ecsi | ||
| MACscr_lappy | L33tCh: yes | 09:01 |
| Ddorda | is there a way to share empathy data to ubuntu one? | 09:01 |
| MACscr_lappy | ive already tried that | 09:01 |
| Cynthia | zenger: Does your NTFS volume mount at boot-time? If so, does your /etc/fstab file say umask=700, denying execute access to everyone but root? | 09:01 |
| zenger | not sure what this means | 09:02 |
| L33tCh | MACscr_lappy: ok, can't think of anything else atm... | 09:02 |
| zenger | yes it denyes every1 except root ( requires pwd) | 09:02 |
| vasiph | hi All! | 09:02 |
| Cynthia | zengar: Then to run applications in Wine from that NTFS volume, you must be root, or sudo | 09:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Jenshae: i don't know if this would help you, but you can check it out if you want... http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ | 09:03 |
| devkhadka | is there any software to handle fake payment gateway so that i can test my payments during development | 09:04 |
| Jenshae | Thanks onetinsoldier, I think what I need to read up on is how GRUB works. | 09:04 |
| [Screamo] | Cynthia, but they wont run if the /path/to/file.exe has spaces in ti =/ | 09:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Jenshae: ok, roger that | 09:04 |
| vasiph | i can`t use wireless by the Ubuntu | 09:04 |
| vasiph | help me plzzz | 09:04 |
| Cynthia | [Screamo]: wine "C:/Program Files/Path with Spaces/main.exe" (with quotes) | 09:04 |
| Jenshae | Any basic IRC commands to suppress the login and log offs from the channel? | 09:05 |
| [Screamo] | Cynthia, i did, and it would not run it unless i removed the spaces, but yet it would run if i right clicked the file and told it to open with wine | 09:05 |
| zenger | hmm | 09:05 |
| [Screamo] | hmmm | 09:05 |
| zenger | so I can use the terminal | 09:05 |
| MACscr_lappy | Jenshae: you dont login to channels really, you do that to the actual server | 09:05 |
| zenger | thx | 09:05 |
| Cynthia | vasiph: first things first, could you run 'lshw -C network' in a terminal and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? | 09:06 |
| MACscr_lappy | Jenshae: are you wanting to know how to join them? | 09:06 |
| [Screamo] | Jenshae, youll have to look around in settings, maybe in events or something | 09:06 |
| Cynthia | (Jenshae is using Pidgin) | 09:06 |
| Jenshae | I can join. I just want to filter out all the messages of people logging in and out of this channel | 09:06 |
| MACscr_lappy | Jenshae: nvm, im blind | 09:06 |
| [Screamo] | i think he wants to hide joins/parts | 09:06 |
| Jenshae | *Nods* | 09:06 |
| MACscr_lappy | Jenshae: depends on your client of course. Pidgin has an option for it within plugins | 09:07 |
| zenger | hey | 09:07 |
| zenger | you can try QutIm | 09:07 |
| Jenshae | However, that will suppress all of them across the other servers? | 09:07 |
| [Screamo] | Jenshae Why don't you just use xchat? | 09:07 |
| red2kic | Jenshae: Look in Plugins. (Join/Part Hiding). | 09:07 |
| Jenshae | ... because I am familiar with Pidgin and it does all the things I like and want? | 09:08 |
| === gordon__ is now known as kcg | ||

| Jenshae | Thanks | 09:09 |
| UT8F | how to change sudo password? sudo passwd root dont work! | 09:09 |
| Cynthia | Wait, no, Jenshae, the Join-Part Hiding plugin (Tools/Plugins) has configuration so you can disable it for smaller rooms | 09:09 |
| dragon-man | UT8fF : only passwd | 09:10 |
| dragon-man | any software like photoshop? | 09:10 |
| red2kic | !gimp | dragon-man | 09:11 |
| ubottu | dragon-man: gimp is an advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information. | 09:11 |
| Cynthia | dragon-man: I believe you have to be root to change root's password. and try the 'gimp' package | 09:11 |
| [Screamo] | dragon-man, Gimp | 09:11 |
| UT8F | dragon-man, its changes but, when I using sudo, its not eccepts new password, only old | 09:11 |
| red2kic | dragon-man: There also are Inkscape (for SVG) | 09:11 |
| Cynthia | UT8F: ah, you're simply confused | 09:11 |
| __taco | WICD don't support PPPoe? | 09:11 |
| onetinsoldier | !root | UT8F | 09:12 |
| ubottu | UT8F: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:12 |
| Cynthia | UT8F: (+*) Sudo requests the password first, and for this you MUST put your old password. And THEN when sudo succeeds, passwd will ask you for your 'New Unix Password' | 09:12 |
| dragon-man | in gimp every function? | 09:12 |
| Severity1 | __taco, i think it does | 09:12 |
| Cynthia | * = I confuse your nick with UTF8, sorry if I make that error later. | 09:12 |
| Jenshae | Okay thing I got it. The GUI section in this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto Step #5 being the key =) | 09:12 |
| dragon-man | UT8F first give old passwd and then new | 09:12 |
| Jenshae | think* | 09:12 |
| Cynthia | dragon-man: every function what? If you're asking if it has all the functions of Photoshop, it doesn't - but it's still rather feature-rich | 09:13 |
| UT8F | Cynthia, I know... I use sudo passwd root, It's ask old password, i entering it, then its ask new password 2 times. I entering it too. | 09:13 |
| Jenshae | Right, afk while I steal the screen | 09:13 |
| [Screamo] | dragon-man, photoshop CS2 runs, "decently" under wine | 09:13 |
| === Jenshae is now known as Jenshae|afk | ||
| __taco | Severity1: whether i can use pppoecfg to connect ADSL if i had connect the router using WICD? | 09:13 |
| UT8F | When i use sudo again (after ~ 30min) it's ask password, I entering new password, its dont accept it, only old on | 09:14 |
| UT8F | one* | 09:14 |
| Cynthia | UT8F: actually, let's clarify this some more. If Sudo asks for a password, then if you're the user 'ut8f' and want to get to root, you must enter 'ut8f''s password when Sudo asks for it | 09:14 |
| Cynthia | Then root's old password, then root's new password | 09:14 |
| dragon-man | UT8F sudo mean super user power | 09:14 |
| HammerHead66 | http://www.prisonplanet.com/# | 09:15 |
| red2kic | UT8F: Use "sudo -i" instead of accessing root. :( | 09:15 |
| UT8F | Oh, I get it... Thanks | 09:15 |
| * tarzeau doesn't like sudo | 09:15 | |
| Cynthia | Ah. UT8F you're just confused. Sudo asks for YOUR user's password :) | 09:15 |
| * [Screamo] just Loves sudo | 09:15 | |
| onetinsoldier | sudo -i ftw! | 09:15 |
| tarzeau | i prefer su | 09:15 |
| Cynthia | If you want to change your user's password, just enter passwd | 09:15 |
| Cynthia | This will change your user's password for both logins AND sudo. | 09:15 |
| auchewet | hi, does anybody know about any efforts to enhance gnome usability on screens that are set up portrait (rotated right or left)? Of course I have done some tweaking myself but I'm really searching for some inspiration here :) | 09:16 |

| tarzeau | blackratdog: i can just use ubuntu with sudo removed | 09:16 |

I checked with strace for where it might hang and to my surprice I get a "resource temporarily unavailable" for two filedescriptors, can't see which files it are, though.

| [Screamo] | Cebot, run it in terminal | 09:20 |

| rsk | DefaultTo0 ubuntu has that version website has newer. | 09:30 |
| DefaultTo0 | rsk: Why isn't it offering me 2.7.0? | 09:30 |
| red2kic | !latest | DefaultTo0 | 09:30 |
| ubottu | DefaultTo0: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 09:30 |
| rsk | DefaultTo0 because there's not enough manpower to updates thousand of packages and bugtest them. | 09:30 |
| rsk | DefaultTo0 it's a stability issue manily | 09:31 |
| DefaultTo0 | Ah, I see. | 09:31 |
| red2kic | DefaultTo0: If you want the latest version, follow instruction on pidgim website to use PPA to obtain latest updates. | 09:31 |
| rsk | DefaultTo0 newer versions usually appear in newer ubuntu versions | 09:31 |
| Jenshae|afk | Thanks for the help. Going to stick to the forums. This is just too much too quick and I am too tired. Take care everyone. | 09:31 |

It sends a job to Ubuntu Machine, I can see it in CUPS and job quanue, but it does not print. After a while it shows xp machines print | 10:23 |
| MindVirus | L33tCh: I am going to start using Firefox because it seems to be the most memory efficient (never thought I'd say that). | 10:24 |
| Jonta | MindVirus: Well, could be a bug in the newest version. Use the previous one that worked and report the bug? | 10:24 |
| lein | MindVirus: i didn't see the part about being modern | 10:24 |

| linduxed | janjiss: i don't think so, since it got a job | 10:31 |
| Nevstah | any idea why a normal user cant resolve DNS but root can? i'm stuck :( | 10:31 |
| K10 | maybe a memory-leak in the kernel-module? | 10:31 |
| linduxed | janjiss: did it get the correct job? | 10:32 |
| VirusTB | moetunes, seems a bit more complicated than i thought for a newbie | 10:32 |
| janjiss | linduxed: Yes, it has correct job in quanue. It shows, that it has finished printind, but nothing happens. It works fine with ubuntu network | 10:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Nevstah: what does the following command output? ls -l /etc/resolv.conf | 10:32 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: yes it takes some practise - what filesystem are the partitions? | 10:33 |
| Nevstah | onetinsoldier: permissions were wrong.. so simples.. :) | 10:34 |
| onetinsoldier | Nevstah: :-) | 10:34 |
| linduxed | janjiss: it sounds as if the data is misunderstood | 10:34 |
| linduxed | janjiss: as in "oh there's nothing in this job, i'm finished then" | 10:35 |
| K10 | when iam starting "Virtual Box OSE" Linux is freeing some memory, but why? | 10:35 |

| janjiss | linduxed: I just wish it woudl be so easy to connect from xp as it is easy to connect to ubuntu :) | 10:36 |
| VirusTB | moetunes, the partition is NTFS and my second HDD is NTFS (for media storage) | 10:36 |

| moetunes | VirusTB: not unless you make a shortcut there- but it is something you should choose - I used somename 'cause i don't know what you want to call it | 10:41 |

| onetinsoldier | adies: do you just want them reset for the moment? | 10:44 |
| Severity1 | EgyParadox, after that do a sudo update-grub | 10:44 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: you mount partitions not hdd - is there only one partition on the hdd? | 10:44 |
| adies | onetinsoldier, no. i would like them permanently fixed | 10:44 |
| digifor | This may be more an enlightenment issue than a 10.04 one | 10:44 |
| onetinsoldier | adies: ahh, don't know. sorry | 10:44 |
| onetinsoldier | adies: what firewall are you using? | 10:44 |
| adies | firestarter | 10:45 |
| acicula | adies, the default is empty, though some applications can define iptable rules using ufw | 10:45 |
| EgyParadox | Severity1: Done, brb. | 10:45 |
| adies | acicula, how would I go about setting to empty | 10:45 |
| onetinsoldier | adies: can't you just uncheck the enable firewall checkbox or whatever and leave it unchecked? | 10:45 |
| VirusTB | moetunes, oh .. so then i can only place that NTFS partition to the /media/Media that i created | 10:46 |
| adies | onetinsoldier, it keeps reenabling itself every time I close it | 10:46 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: yep - one partition per folder/mountpoint | 10:46 |
| onetinsoldier | adies: oh. i see. my gufw doesn't do that i don't think | 10:46 |
| adies | onetinsoldier, its firestarter | 10:47 |
| VirusTB | moetunes, how do i find out what sda or sdb the partion i want to mount is? | 10:47 |
| acicula | adies, its empty by default, try a sudo ufw status or iptables -L | 10:47 |
| K10 | erUSUL, maybe i missinterpret them? | 10:47 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: sudo fdisk -l will tell | 10:47 |
| onetinsoldier | adies: roger. both firestarter and gufw, use.... ufw | 10:47 |
| acicula | adies, what is the problem you are trying to solve | 10:47 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: you can mount them all you just have to repeat the steps for each one | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | K10: the question is why you have more free memory after starting VirtualBox ? | 10:47 |
| adies | acicula, my firewall blocks all communications until i open and turn off firestarter, but I have to have firestarter open all the time with the firewall turned off. | 10:48 |
| VirusTB | moetunes, ok let me read the 'man' pages and see what i can get done | 10:48 |
| K10 | erUSUL, exactly | 10:49 |
| K10 | thats why iam asking? | 10:50 |
| K10 | :D | 10:50 |
| zenger | why can | 10:50 |
| zenger | why can't I install video drivers? | 10:50 |

| zenger | choose Nvidia 173 next -> the error | 10:51 |
| zenger | System Error: installArchives() failed | 10:51 |
| acicula | adies seems ufw is enabled to start on boot | 10:51 |
| adies | acicula, where do I go to fix that? | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | K10: then i dunno; but why do you care ? | 10:52 |
| moetunes | VirusTB: the fstab line will be something like /dev/sda1 /media/MEDIA ntfs-3g auto,users,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=000,fmask=111,utf8 0 0 | 10:53 |
| acicula | loading the vbox service only loads a kernel driver and some kernel settings, so it would seem unrelated to freeing up 200Mb of memory, but maybe it forces the kernel to cleanup some allocated but unused memory pages? | 10:53 |

| acicula | censor Name if you dont want to leak your computername | 11:19 |
| zenger | nah | 11:19 |
| gartral | acicula: http://pastebin.com/yCnbitmS | 11:20 |
| onetinsoldier | zenger: well, i hope not :) | 11:20 |
| gartral | acicula: it looks like one of the drivers is stuck in 2.0 mode... | 11:21 |
| Killed | how could i fix this http://click.adbrite.com/mb/click.php?sid=1636172&banner_id=13446473&variation_id=1748965&uts=1274264161&cpc=302e3235&keyword_id=1474020&ab=171966543&sscup=700284f05144ed9ebff3a14a62ec533f&sscra=12eee88fdaa63766224d0cc0b2ab153a&ub=1985940916&guid=88e921bb-1270-485b-ae1c-e6b72df1df9a&odc=grx&rs=&tgt=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.TeachingChildrenAboutMoney.com&sc=&adt=5&bg=12639649&bkw=&nsscup=4a5bf17319b5978e2dc0fd259dc71465&r= | 11:21 |
| L33tCh | :) that was the solution to a similar problem in the bug reports... | 11:21 |
| gartral | Killed: by using tinyurl! :P | 11:21 |
| acicula | gartral, its not enabling edr | 11:21 |
| ghostx | eh does someone know a irc about security? | 11:21 |
| acicula | gardar, and yeah in 2.0 mode | 11:21 |
| zenger | L33tCh, thx for the tip | 11:22 |
| zenger | i will download the .run from nvidia | 11:22 |
| acicula | gartral, its also listing the dongle as a phone device, which is mildly odd | 11:23 |
| gartral | acicula: i think ubuntu's blueZ is just borked... this it deffinatly not right | 11:23 |
| HanzZ__ | hm | 11:25 |
| acicula | maybe, dunno you can make the os believe its any type of device as far as i know | 11:25 |
| acicula | mine is listed as Device Class: Computer, Laptop | 11:25 |
| L33tCh | zenger: np... ah yes, no debs there | 11:26 |
| Severity1 | EgyParadox, back | 11:26 |
| acicula | gardar, but dunno how to get ubuntu to enable the device in bluetooth 2.1+EDR mode | 11:27 |
| gartral | acicula: i seriously think ubuntu's bluetooth is F'ED up.. look at this, same device.. but http://pastebin.com/zSyNm1MV | 11:27 |
| paissad | what is the command i should type which is the equivalent of Ctrl Alt Backspacke | 11:28 |
| gartral | the serial, capabilities, and device class changed between scans, i didnt touch a thing | 11:28 |
| paissad | logout ... | 11:28 |
| jrib | paissad: why, what do you want to accomplish in the end? | 11:28 |
| paissad | jrib, to disconnect the user | 11:29 |
| paissad | not reboot or halt | 11:29 |
| onetinsoldier | !tty | paissad | 11:29 |
| ubottu | paissad: 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. | 11:29 |
| paissad | onetinsoldier, i do know ttys | 11:29 |
| onetinsoldier | paissad: go to the tty terminal.. type in... sudo service gdm stop | 11:29 |
| paissad | onetinsoldier, i want to know how to end the session in tty 7 | 11:29 |
| paissad | onetinsoldier, ok ! | 11:30 |
| acicula | gartral, you get that by repluggin the device? | 11:30 |
| sanguisdex | can any one help me figure out why whenever I try to watch the daily show online my wifi connection dies? | 11:30 |
| onetinsoldier | paissad: ok, good luck | 11:30 |
| jrib | paissad: you've asked about three different things now. ctrl-alt-backspace used to zap X which meant that every user's X session got dropped. If you want to logout, then click the button in the top right corner and select log out. Is that what you want? | 11:30 |
| Weust` | hi, i setup windowskey + 1 for desktop one and so on, but after each reboot it seems to forget this, i use compiz and i have to go to shortcuts every time again, the shortcut is still there (Mod4 + &) and i just have to assign something else to it and then back to the original one and it works, how can i fix this? | 11:30 |
| gartral | acicula: *between scans* i didnt touch it.. not even the chasis of the system.. | 11:30 |
| acicula | gartral, that sure is weird | 11:30 |
| paissad | jrib, i can click ^^ .... but i wanted to know the associated command line | 11:31 |
| massimo | Hello I switched from gnome to KDE. In gnome I have properly configured dual screen layout. I cannot get two seperate screens in KDE using krandr. I tried now with a completely empty xorg.conf. Why does xrandr work on gnome but not on KDE4? | 11:31 |
| gartral | acicula: well, it's something i use every other month, so im not real worried.. but still, it's annoying | 11:31 |
| jrib | paissad: gnome-session-save --logout then | 11:31 |
| acicula | gartral, seems its just not detected properly. Could try another dongle i suppose | 11:32 |
| gartral | acicula: at $40 usd.. i could only afford the one, keep in mind it's a class 1 (100 Meter) radio | 11:32 |
| Anomie2 | MySQL on my ubuntu server keeps crashing | 11:32 |
| acicula | gartral, buy a cheaper class :)? | 11:33 |
| Anomie2 | It just went down there - how can I check what caused it/how to prevent it | 11:33 |
| theadmin | Anomie2: Maybe some logs. | 11:33 |
| gartral | acicula: this was the cheapest at radioshack, they had a class2 BT 3 radio.. for 100 bucks | 11:33 |
| acicula | gartral, bt3.0 is kind of useless given that no phone/laptop can use one, 40 bucks for a bt dongle is quite a lot tbh | 11:34 |
| Anomie2 | where are they kept? | 11:34 |
| gartral | acicula: even amazon wants 30 | 11:35 |
| gartral | acicula: i could get one for 2 bucks on deal extream, but those ARE bt2-EDR | 11:35 |
| theadmin | Anomie2: Dunno, not much into MySQL, I just keep it on servers so such stuff as phpBB can work :D | 11:35 |
| gartral | acicula: that's deliberatly "no edr" | 11:35 |
| Anomie2 | /var/log/mysql is empty | 11:35 |
| gartral | Anomie2: ubuntu's logd is borked, i have 3 systems, two were fresh 10.04 release installs, one was a update through beta 1>2>release, all three have totally empty /var/log/ dirs | 11:37 |
| d3vic3 | can't connecto to hotspotshield server (xl2tpd + hotspotshield "maximum retries exceeded" issue) | 11:37 |
| jrib | gartral: that's pretty strange, my two lucid systems both have /var/log/ populated | 11:38 |
| Anomie2 | :< | 11:38 |
| theadmin | Same as with jrib | 11:38 |
| theadmin | Straaange. | 11:38 |
| acicula | gardar, well its sortof optional for 2.0 yeah, newegg lists 2.1+edr class2 dongles starting at 15USD | 11:38 |
| gartral | jrib: one's an atom laptop, one's an i7 860 workstation, the other is my htpc.. all three are completly logless... | 11:39 |
| gartral | acicula: im over here bro! lol | 11:39 |
| acicula | any specific partitioning? | 11:40 |
| gartral | gardar: i'm sorry we have such easily confused names | 11:40 |
| jrib | gartral: is syslog running? | 11:40 |
| gartral | acicula: seperate /, /boot and /home, nothing else | 11:40 |
| gartral | jrib: how do i poke it too tell? | 11:41 |
| jrib | gartral: well I would just run: ps -ef | grep syslog | 11:41 |
| jrib | gartral: it runs as "rsyslogd -c4" here | 11:41 |
| hielmy | exit | 11:41 |

| Metrik | hey, anyone bored and mind me asking a couple of really simple install question? | 11:42 |
| onetinsoldier | acnse: try empathy or pigdin | 11:42 |
| tarzeau | Metrik: shoot | 11:42 |
| elky | Metrik, best bit about this channel is you don't need to ask permission to ask a question. | 11:42 |
| tarzeau | acnse: i tried empthy with gtalk, didn't work at all | 11:42 |
| sanguisdex | when ever I access the dailyshow,com and try and watch an episode my wifi crashes and I have to turn the addapter of and thn on to reconnect, what error log should I be looking at? | 11:43 |
| Metrik | basically never used Linux before, and my desktop pc is fucked with syware to a degree you wouldnt believe so planning to install ubutu, sent off for a CD do i need to wipe my pc or can i just install off the CD as is? | 11:43 |
| primate | you can use google talk within your browser, but it should work | 11:43 |
| primate | tarzeau, did you try jabber? | 11:43 |
| LjL | Metrik: mind the language here please. you can install from the CD directly, it'll give you options for wiping your hard drive before install | 11:43 |
| Metrik | cool, thanks mate, and appologies for the language. | 11:44 |
| acicula | sanguisdex, everytime you play a video from thedailyshow your wifi crashes? | 11:44 |
| massimo | How do I generate a new xorg.conf? 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' does not work. | 11:44 |
| gartral | Metrik: stop looking a p2p porn :) | 11:44 |
| sanguisdex | acicula: yeah | 11:44 |
| acicula | sanguisdex, and by that you mean it disconnects and starts to reconnect or? | 11:45 |
| tarzeau | primate: yes | 11:45 |
| tarzeau | primate: i mean audio+video, not just text | 11:45 |
| tarzeau | primate: for text i got irc | 11:45 |
| primate | right | 11:45 |
| primate | yeah same issue here | 11:45 |
| tarzeau | primate: the audio/video is only for windows/mac | 11:45 |
| Metrik | gartral, never | 11:45 |
| jrib | gartral: try restarting it in debug mode I guess. Did you save /etc from a different install (are the rsyslog configuration files the package manager's ones)? Do you have strange permissions on /var/log or any of its parents? What's your partitioning scheme like? | 11:45 |
| Metrik | last question, how difficult is it to play WOW with a Ubutu machine? | 11:46 |
| === zrin_ is now known as zrin | ||
| Metrik | is it possible? | 11:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Metrik: from what i've heard, yes | 11:47 |
| sanguisdex | acicula: I will be watching then all of a sudden the video will freeze, then I will get a message from the OS that says I have been disconnected. I turn off the wifi addapter then turn it onn again and I can reconnect to the network | 11:47 |

| primate | tarzeau, I use google video all the time, sometimes, at least, it's better than skype in quality | 11:47 |
| onetinsoldier | Metrik: you use 'wine' to run it | 11:47 |
| onetinsoldier | !wine | 11:47 |

| primate | here's hoping there is better firefox support in ubuntu soon | 11:47 |
| xyz | hey | 11:47 |
| gartral | jrib: the scheme on the laptop and htpc are bi partition, / and a swap part. no, i did a completly fresh install on each (WS with 10.04 b1, both others with release) i dont have special perms, and the only backups i have are on BDroms | 11:47 |
| primate | (for google talk) | 11:47 |
| primate | err video | 11:47 |
| tarzeau | primate: i see, but not with linux, or? | 11:48 |
| tarzeau | primate: i use google chrome or chromium. think it's FAR better than firefox | 11:48 |
| jrib | gartral: you have a /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf that tells rsyslog to log things to /var/log and that gets included from /etc/rsyslog.conf? | 11:48 |
| Metrik | Thanks for the help everyone :) probs see you in a week when I`ll have a dozen more question once I`ve installed. thanks | 11:48 |
| primate | tarzeau> agreed | 11:48 |
| acicula | sanguisdex, well the messages from the network connection daemon go into syslog, but there maybe something in dmesg too, perhaps the kernel driver crashing | 11:48 |
| acicula | sanguisdex, if you get disconneccted is the list of available wlans empty? | 11:48 |
| xyz | hey | 11:48 |
| rohan | i am having this problem while updating my repos - http://pastebin.com/P5kkEt1D - can someone help please | 11:48 |
| gartral | jrib: partition scheme for ws is / 40 gb, /home 800 gb, and 10 gb /boot. | 11:49 |
| xyz | does anyone know an editor exist for hermite interpolation in linux | 11:49 |
| sanguisdex | acicula: let me watch and find out | 11:49 |
| acicula | 10GB for boot seems a bit excessive | 11:49 |
| primate | tarzeau> it seems strange that there wouldn't be linux support, considering the android platform | 11:49 |
| brijith | Hi all, Why this difference. see the red marked figures in the image http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=957 | 11:49 |
| primate | but as far as I know there isn't | 11:49 |
| primate | somebody please correct me if they know otherwise | 11:50 |
| lyrae | does anyone know how to work chrome's bookmarks sync? | 11:50 |
| lyrae | i sync but it doesnt show in google.com/bookmarks | 11:50 |

| Slek | hoi | 11:50 |
| Megaman | <rohan> i am having this problem while updating my repos ...You need a new Public key to verify the PPA's. There is a thread on ubuntuforums. Search for new public key | 11:50 |
| acicula | sanguisdex, weird, anyway /var/log/syslog or dmesg may hold some clues as to whats causing the disconnect | 11:51 |
| gartral | jrib: that file is populated... on all three systems it's same pretty much (few extra enties for small things like xbmc (HTPC), vbox(WS), and my 3g(netbook).. but none have a populated /var/log except my ws, which is populated 100 | 11:51 |
| brijith | Hi all, Why this difference. see the red marked figures in the image http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=957 | 11:51 |
| primate | lyrae, make sure they are in the folder "Imported From Google Toolbar" | 11:51 |
| gartral | jrib: that file is populated... on all three systems it's same pretty much (few extra enties for small things like xbmc (HTPC), vbox(WS), and my 3g(netbook).. but none have a populated /var/log except my ws, which is populated 100% by blank log files | 11:51 |

| lyrae | primate, please more details | 11:52 |
| moetunes | brijith: is that spam? | 11:52 |
| jrib | gartral: that's ok, I was really confused at the end of the last message :) Try running in debug mode | 11:52 |
| lyrae | on my browser or website? | 11:52 |
| sanguisdex | thanks acicula I will tail both | 11:52 |
| gartral | jrib: running what in debug mode? | 11:52 |
| jrib | gartral: rsyslogd | 11:52 |
| acicula | brijith, all memory is used, but not all memory is in use to run prorams directly , but used for instance to cache data | 11:52 |
| gartral | jrib: ok.. how? | 11:53 |
| primate | Lyrae, Wrench Icon > Bookmark manager > then look at side bar | 11:53 |
| xyz | hey | 11:54 |
| xyz | i need spline interpolation editor | 11:54 |
| xyz | someone knows | 11:54 |
| xyz | does it exist in linux | 11:54 |
| onetinsoldier | brijith: hello. good question! and i'm not sure of the answer. but i think that one if for cpu processes, and the other for the proc filesystem. but again, i don't really know | 11:54 |
| brijith | acicula:ok | 11:54 |
| jrib | gartral: don't know offhand. There may be a "nicer" way, but it has a -d switch, so one way would be to stop the rsyslog service and then start rsyslogd yourself (presumably with -c4 and) with -d | 11:54 |
| === ericm|ubuntu is now known as ericm-afk | ||

| primate | Lyrae, when you add a bookmark make sure it goes in there | 11:55 |
| onetinsoldier | brijith: hello. good question! and i'm not sure of the answer. but i think that one is* for cpu processes, and the other for the proc filesystem. but again, i don't really know | 11:55 |
| L33tCh | xyz: there will be, i'm sure of it... there's a package spline... see if it's what you need | 11:56 |
| jrib | gartral: you would just run: sudo rsyslogd -c4 -d . You should probably take a quick look at the documentation to see if there is some better recommended way though | 11:56 |
| onetinsoldier | brijith: you can also read about the proc filesystem with --> man proc | 11:57 |

| rsynnott | Anomie2: when it crashes, what does it put in syslog? | 11:59 |
| compengi | lucid doesn't have /boot/grub/menu.lst anymore? where can i set kernel parameters then? | 11:59 |

| compengi | onetinsoldier, where do i set kernel parameters? | 12:01 |
| acicula | compengi, you have to run update-grub2 to regenerate the grub.cfg file so the changes to /etc/default/grub take effect.manual changes to grub.cfg itself only last until the file is regenerated(by update-grub2) | 12:01 |

| adies | acicula, are you here? | 12:04 |
| acicula | adies, yeah | 12:05 |
| compengi | acicula, hmm.. and what variable is responsible for that GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or which one? | 12:05 |
| rsynnott | Anomie2: are you primarily using myisam or innodb? | 12:05 |
| Anomie2 | rsynnott: never heard of either of them | 12:05 |
| adies | acicula, now i have to have to open gufw and enable it in order to be able to connect. | 12:05 |
| acicula | compengi, i'd have to guess, try man grub(2) or google | 12:05 |
| mwd | In Ubuntu Server 10.04, I can not get the resolution (console, no GUI) higher than 640x480. When I try to change GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX, the system crashes when booting. | 12:05 |
| rsynnott | Anomie2: they're mysql table engines | 12:05 |
| rsynnott | are you just using a default mysql config? | 12:05 |
| Anomie2 | I have 360MB RAM on a VPN - it should be fine, no? | 12:05 |
| Anomie2 | yeh default config | 12:05 |
| adies | acicula, by the way, sorry I take so long | 12:05 |
| Dr4g | Am i able to extend the allocated space set for my WUBI installation ? I only have 2GB left but i have lots left on /host (the controlling windows parition) | 12:06 |
| rsynnott | how much resident memory does MySQL use, normally? | 12:06 |
| Anomie2 | dunno | 12:06 |
| primate | any luck lyrae? | 12:06 |
| gartral | jrib: im hard pressed to find a manual for rsyslog/d | 12:06 |
| jrib | gartral: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc | 12:07 |

| jrib | gartral: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-troubleshoot.html section on Debug Log is what you want | 12:08 |
| acicula | Vooloo, yeah programs like zenoss/cactus/nagios can do that | 12:09 |
| deufrai | Hi there, since my update to Lucid, Evolution v2.28.3 keeps quitting on me after a few minutes of use. I tried and launched if from a terminal in order to check for messages on STDERR or STDOUT, but I got nothing. What do you suggest to help diagnose this issue ? | 12:09 |
| Vooloo | acicula: thanks will look them up | 12:10 |
| [Screamo] | Is there anyway to clear out Temp data? | 12:10 |
| Anomie2 | rsynnott: why, because I don't know every command by heart? lol | 12:10 |
| acicula | [Screamo], not really | 12:10 |
| [Screamo] | :/ | 12:10 |

| [Screamo] | I'm trying to install imageshack-uploader, and it has to download dependencies, but i canceled it the first time, and now its trying to resume at like 80% of downloading, but it only downloads at like 50B/s | 12:11 |
| acicula | are you running out of sace? | 12:11 |

| Vigo | [Screamo]: What is the source or is it in the Repositories? | 12:13 |
| Anomie2 | 2150 mysql 20 0 130m 27m 6128 S 0 7.9 0:12.90 mysqld | 12:13 |
| gartral | jrib: the debug info talks about setting up rsyslog after a reboot.. and they say to "edit your system's rsyslog environment settings script" without giving any hint to what that would be called in ubuntu... | 12:13 |
| [Screamo] | Vigo, its a .deb | 12:13 |
| jumbers | Is there any way in evince to disable the sidebar completely? Every time I open a new PDF, it brings back the thumbnail sidebar, even if I close it | 12:13 |
| jumbers | I didn't used to do that in Jaunty | 12:14 |
| dancek | [Screamo], can you paste the output of df to a pastebin | 12:14 |
| jumbers | it* | 12:14 |
| acicula | jumbers, toggle the side pane option? | 12:14 |
| [Screamo] | df? | 12:14 |
| [Screamo] | =/ | 12:14 |
| gartral | jumbers: Adobe acrobat calls that a "Feature" and i dont know of a way to kill it | 12:14 |
| dancek | [Screamo], open a terminal and type df | 12:14 |
| jumbers | acicula: If I close it, the next time I open a PDF, it comes back | 12:14 |
| acicula | dunno | 12:14 |
| Anomie2 | rsynnott: why? I've managed to run it for the past 6 months fine and I'm sure I'll fix this problem too. | 12:15 |
| jrib | gartral: can you pastebin? | 12:15 |
| gartral | jumbers: again, adobe calls that annoyance a "feature" | 12:15 |
| Anomie2 | once I find someone more helpful :) | 12:15 |
| gartral | jrib: of course | 12:15 |
| Orpheus | Excuse me, I have a question about codec handling: I have a file that uses the windows media 9 audio format, and as far as i can tell, there is no audio codec anywhere in the repositories, and VLC doesn't support the format either - does anyone have a fix or am I just gonna have to live without sound? | 12:15 |
| [Screamo] | dancek, ive got plenty of free space | 12:15 |
| acicula | Orpheus, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 12:15 |
| Vigo | [Screamo]: From the repos or from a website? | 12:15 |
| jumbers | gartral: Right, but this isn't acrobat reader, and it didn't used to do this on Karmic | 12:16 |
| gartral | Orpheus: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 12:16 |
| jrib | Orpheus: is there some free file somewhere you can link to that uses that codec? | 12:16 |
| Orpheus | I already did | 12:16 |
| [Screamo] | Vigo, i just want to delete the partial files it downloaded | 12:16 |
| jrib | !who | Orpheus | 12:16 |
| ubottu | Orpheus: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 12:16 |
| Vooloo | acicula: these are too heavy and none of them seem to have a desktop graph (which is what I need) .. or I could just login to my router and look at the graphs there | 12:17 |
| gartral | Orpheus: i dont see such a link in your lastlog entry man | 12:17 |

| Anomie2 | Mem: 356676 253364 103312 0 6104 67052 | 12:17 |
| Anomie2 | plenty of RAM left | 12:17 |
| jrib | jumbers: mine works ok, check your gconf permissions. If nothing turns up, I'll check the gconf key that's responsible and we can go from there | 12:17 |
| Orpheus | gartral - sorry I meant that i already installed the restricted extras | 12:17 |
| codename_nos1 | why apt-get is slow | 12:17 |
| Vigo | [Screamo]: Oh, are you familiar with dpkg (clean up stuff) ? | 12:17 |
| theadmin | codename_nos1: Choose another mirror. | 12:17 |
| [Screamo] | Vigo, http://toolbar.imageshack.us/windows-uploader/imageshack-uploader-2.2.0.deb | 12:17 |
| acicula | Anomie2, the amount of ram used varies with the use | 12:18 |
| Severity1 | codename_nos1, so the apt-get download is slow? | 12:18 |
| Orpheus | gartral - and said file in question is... er... how shall I say it.... delicate material.... >.>; | 12:18 |
| codename_nos1 | headmin how to choose | 12:18 |
| rsynnott | Anomie2: has mysql been running for a reasonably long time? | 12:18 |
| dancek | [Screamo], so you installed it with dpkg -i, right? | 12:18 |
| Severity1 | theadmin is right choose another mirror | 12:18 |
| codename_nos1 | severity1 yes | 12:18 |
| theadmin | codename_nos1: Do you have GNOME/KDE or is it CLI only? | 12:18 |
| gartral | Orpheus: is there a free liscence audio file you can point us too so we can hack apart it's guts and see what's it built like? | 12:18 |
| jrib | jumbers: actually, mine only remembers that I closed the sidebar per document. Is that true in your case? | 12:18 |
| codename_nos1 | gnome | 12:18 |
| Anomie2 | Nope, it crashed around an hr ago | 12:18 |
| jumbers | jrib: Yes | 12:18 |
| [Screamo] | dancek, i just 2x clicked it and installed it that way | 12:18 |
| theadmin | codename_nos1: System - Admininstration - Software Sources | 12:18 |
| codename_nos1 | k | 12:18 |
| rsynnott | Anomie2: okay, it won't be at full memory utilisation yet then, probably | 12:19 |
| Orpheus | gartral - do not know, but I can look and come back | 12:19 |
| jumbers | jrib: It didn't used to act this way on Karmic. I closed it once and it never came back again, document to document | 12:19 |

| === hello is now known as hello-everybody | ||

| gartral | codename_nos1: NO! do NOT interrupt the APT! this WILL break your ubuntu! | 12:20 |

| acicula | well if its downloading still you'll be ok, if its already installing it'll hose stuff | 12:20 |
| jumbers | You can kill it durning download, but it would be a bad idea to do so while it's installing | 12:20 |

| kuya | thanks theadmin | 12:21 |
| [Screamo] | dancek, it installs it with a GUI | 12:22 |

| sanousy | I did not find till now any video conferencing application working except Skype! | 12:22 |
| sanousy | Why? | 12:22 |
| acicula | Anomie2, if its mysql thats running out of memory then you either need to set stricter limits on mysql resource usage, or reduce the load on the db, for example by improving really bad queries, youll need to profile the webapp for that. It can also be caused by a a bug in the sql db code off course. | 12:22 |

| Humle91 | can anyone recommend an easy to use ftp server | 12:25 |
| rsynnott | Anomie2: it is possible, of course, that the mysql config you're using was just designed for a bigger machine | 12:25 |
| theadmin | Humle91: A regular PureFTPd should be just fine :/ | 12:25 |
| hello-everybody | Vooloo, lol | 12:25 |
| [Screamo] | Vigo, ty, the forum link worked :) | 12:25 |

| recon69_lap | thx theadmin | 12:28 |
| acicula | vasiph, you can run ,some , windows prorams using wine | 12:28 |
| theadmin | vasiph: But to be serious, you can try with WINE. Will not help with that, though, ask on #winehq | 12:28 |
| jussi | !wine | 12:28 |
| hello-everybody | vasiph, you need to open exe in ubuntu? | 12:28 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 12:28 |

| Geralt | Hi, is it possible to install lucid lynx into a manually setup filesystem hierarchy? | 12:29 |
| rsynnott | most likely thing is probably just that the config has inappropriately large buffer pool or key cache settings, depending on if he's using innodb or myisam or both, though | 12:29 |
| jrib | hello-everybody: what application...? | 12:29 |
| ActionParsnip | sanousy: ekiga is an alternative | 12:29 |

| rocket16 | shuji: You mean, using wubi? | 12:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rsynnott: whichever, submit your suggestion as there are channels for it | 12:32 |
| shuji | rocket16: wubi? I thought that was a windows installer | 12:32 |
| rsynnott | I doubt they'd really do it :) | 12:32 |
| jrib | Geralt: read the help.ubuntu.com docs on setting up a chroot I guess? Doesn't the alternate disk accomodate your setup though? | 12:32 |
| rocket16 | shuji: Sorry, I did not understand the question, :( | 12:32 |
| rsynnott | (I'm pretty sure 90% of web developers would fail any reasonable test) | 12:32 |
| shuji | rocket16: I'm looking to use ubuntu to share an ethernet internet connection over wifi | 12:33 |
| along | @_@! | 12:33 |

| hello-everybody | vasiph, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine | 12:33 |
| acicula | zamba, on a single system not so much, but for managing larger groups in a network its usefull? | 12:33 |
| jrib | Geralt: it's probably worth investigating the alternate disk | 12:33 |
| jrib | !alternate | Geralt | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Geralt: 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 | 12:33 |
| zamba | acicula: i'm thinking security now.. | 12:33 |
| zamba | acicula: people should be able to add stuff to their home directory without having to worry about security | 12:34 |
| acicula | zamba, yes, whats your point? | 12:34 |
| zamba | acicula: i see it as redundant | 12:34 |
| sanousy | gentlemen? | 12:34 |
| zamba | acicula: why should each user have its own group? | 12:34 |
| acicula | zamba, because it is a sensible default for desktops | 12:35 |

| LjL | :) | 12:49 |
| acicula | gartral, its still protected by by priviledges , and if its such a security risk then maybe you should reconsider combining a mail server and a desktop in that way too. Though unless there is a reason there seems little incentive to duplicate the content of email in the messages log | 12:49 |

| hello-everybody | browner? | 12:50 |
| gartral | acicula: then why does ubuntu do it by default.. aint that flooding the hdd with extra copies of mail? i mean, if it were just the envelope info... ok.. and this isnt my desktop, it's my workstation, BIG difference there | 12:51 |

| ActionParsnip | maxime: you could ssh and put the http / ftp proxy address in /etc/environment | 12:52 |

| TheGrammarFreak | Jacruth, and? What did you find? | 12:53 |
| Jacruth | nothing | 12:53 |
| maxime | ActionParsnip, The problem is that the Users are under Windows (NT,XP) | 12:53 |
| Jacruth | there is not anything related to exchange market | 12:53 |

| acicula | gardar, its a computer with a GUI and a network connection and a user behind it, what it actually does or the Hp it has is not very relevant. Maybe postfix has an option on what is logged to /var/log/messages | 12:53 |

| nerdy_kid | hey where are the file templates stored? in GNOME it is ~/Templates, what about kde? (i know this is a kubuntu question but #kubuntu and #kde are quiet :( ) | 12:58 |
| TheGrammarFreak | Jacruth, Hmm, well I still can't find much. Have you posted in the ubuntu forums? You way well have to resort to Wine if we can't find anything. That or you code it yourself. :D | 12:58 |
| airtonix | nerdy_kid, correct | 12:58 |
| airtonix | nerdy_kid, although when you talk about Templates are you referring to more than just the right click menu nautilus provides ? | 12:59 |
| Jacruth | TheGrammarFreak, I can't believe it. Do the Linux users invest in the stock exchange or they are poor? | 12:59 |
| Jacruth | xd | 12:59 |
| gartral | jrib: could this be related to my inability too switch users on my computers? when i select the option, my screen just locks, and when i come back, i get "Unable to start new display The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files" | 12:59 |

| jrib | gartral: don't know. I don't have /dev/xconsole either and I use nvidia drivers, yet I have logs. My initial guess is that it's something you installed, but you should rule out this /dev/xconsole possibility first | 13:03 |

| Lartza_ | But has extra grub on /dev/sda2 | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | codename_nos1: eithr is fine, there is an option incase proxies or security is used | 13:05 |
| Lartza_ | Boot from grub gets him to anotehr grub | 13:05 |

| jrib | mkjackson: why? | 13:09 |
| TheGrammarFreak | mkjackson, I second that | 13:09 |
| codename_nos1 | ActionParsnip: in software source we useally have only 5 options : Statistics, Authenticaiton ,Updates, software( othere and ubuntu ), | 13:09 |
| mkjackson | jrib: just so that I can easily see what devices have been detected and how they're configured | 13:09 |

| codename_nos1 | ActionParsnip: so how to increase proxies n securities ? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | You want to use more proxys ? | 13:10 |
| LjL | codename_nos1: ... what? | 13:10 |
| ActionParsnip | codename_nos1: under the Ubuntu Software tab (first tab) there is a dropdown named "Download from" click that and choose a different server | 13:10 |
| LjL | codename_nos1: GPG keys is what give you security. | 13:11 |
| airtonix | Lartza_, ok i see.. did he install xubuntu before or after removing wubi ? | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | codename_nos1: increase proxies? | 13:11 |
| Lartza_ | airtonix: I found manual uninstall of wubi on wiki, it should work | 13:11 |
| airtonix | mkjackson, as in a tree navigation of devices which lets you modify properties ? | 13:11 |
| codename_nos1 | ActionParsnip: thats what i did earlier ! and you told me to increase proxies and securities by an option !! lol | 13:12 |

| gartral | jrib: see my post to you? | 13:12 |
| codename_nos1 | ActionParsnip: k. | 13:12 |

| sixsicsix | hi everyone. i'm pretty new to this, but i need a bit of help. i'm bulding an ubunt server in which i'm going to kickstart some clients and auto install. So far i've built my server, i've built a local mirror using apt-mirror, i've got DHCP , TFTP, Apache, and DNS installed. I downloaded the netboot.gz file for my PXE from the LUCID release. When my client boots up it's failing to ge the files... the reason is the path it's trying to go to does | 13:35 |
| gorski | Lucid won't boot x session, and it hangs sometimes, and on recovery mode also, help!!! | 13:35 |
| sixsicsix | if i simply add the debian-installer directory and move my stuff in, it finds the files, but the fails because the MD5 does not match | 13:35 |
| Rocafort8 | Anyone knows how to mount a partition at the Ubuntu startup | 13:35 |
| wutang | Izinucs: well when i try nslookup, it says there are no DNS servers, but I have some listed in /etc/resolv.conf...any other place I should put the DNS servers? | 13:35 |
| gartral | jrib: but theres no solution! | 13:35 |
| sixsicsix | i built the boot stuff from the lucid netboot, and built my mirror from the lucid archive. i dont understand why it's adding in this debian-installer into it's file get path | 13:36 |
| llutz | Rocafort8: add it to /etc/fstab | 13:36 |

| marienz | killown: that is: the actual error message is probably higher up. | 13:36 |
| Izinucs | wutang: nope.. but you're looking on the ubuntu system and it sounds like the issue is actually with what vmware is doing on the windows side.. | 13:36 |
| arcnewuss | can i force an application to use alsa | 13:37 |
| wutang | Izinucs: just not entirely convinced vmware is doing anything when i can netcat to a remote ip and ping a remote ip, and just dns doesn't work in bridged...i'll ask around in vmware, thanks | 13:37 |

| Vigo | Dr_Willis: That is exactly what I want, and Thank you iflema. | 15:05 |

| Dr_Willis | Vigo: a usb-disk-creater install with a persistant save file. is a little more flexiable. | 15:06 |
| Vigo | Dr_Willis: Is mainly for just demonstration purposes. | 15:06 |
| junky[ins4n3] | any1 knows how to configure vpn using 9.10 ubuntu | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | junky[ins4n3]: the network manager tool has vpn settings I thought. | 15:06 |
| uLinux | ikonia arent those PPA made my mozilla? | 15:06 |
| junky[ins4n3] | let me check | 15:06 |
| Dr_Willis | junky[ins4n3]: edit connections -> vpn tab. | 15:06 |
| iflema | Vigo livecds blowem away...... too easy...... | 15:06 |

| falconic | Hey guys... I am coming from snow leopard world.. and really love installing packages from source and putting them into a custom location instead of "sudo"ing and putting into system folders | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Vigo: you can have a live cd installed to a usb + a persistant home that saves your data. Yes. | 15:09 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: dare we ask 'why' you love that? | 15:09 |
| junky[ins4n3] | 1 more query : if i run apt-get install --no-download it asks me to download even if there are packages in /var/cache/apt/archives...... how do i solve it | 15:09 |
| falconic | is there a package system like that for linux/ubuntu... something like mac ports or | 15:09 |
| falconic | homebrew. | 15:10 |
| jrib | falconic: let APT worry about where stuff goes, just tell it what you want | 15:10 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: if compiling from source. you are basically bypassing the package system. Unless you use the tools to wrap it into a deb. | 15:10 |
| falconic | jrib: I am actually working on a system such that I want to keep the root partition foot print as minimal as possible | 15:10 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: if using source you would proberly want to make things install to /opt/ or /usr/local/ | 15:10 |
| jrib | falconic: why? | 15:10 |
| falconic | and then install to a custom partition/dorectory | 15:10 |
| jungli | hey how can i copy my system files to virtual system :P | 15:10 |
| ceaerrepe | join #Debian-es | 15:11 |
| Vigo | Dr_Willis: I still use the USB creator in, oh wait, I do not see that...hrmmm | 15:11 |
| falconic | jrib: Like I told u.. 1) Dont want to mess the system libaries etc.... 2) I want to install software to a second partition without putting anything on the root partition | 15:11 |
| iflema | as you where Vigo.... have fun....... =) | 15:11 |
| onetinsoldier | ceaerrepe: try /join #debian-es | 15:11 |
| falconic | jrib, Dr_Willis: Is there anything on ubuntu which can help me do that ? | 15:12 |
| jrib | falconic: APT doesn't "mess the system libraries" | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Vigo: system -> admin -> startupdisk creator | 15:12 |
| Vigo | iflema : Thank you | 15:12 |
| jungli | hey how can i copy my system files to virtual system :P | 15:12 |
| falconic | jrib: but it cant install to a custom path.. | 15:12 |
| Vigo | Dr_Willis: Thank you | 15:12 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: you can put /opt/ on a 2nd partition or drive or nfs server or whever you wanted. | 15:12 |
| jrib | falconic: this is the wrong philosophy, you should just use APT to install from trusted sources | 15:12 |
| bullgard | [SeaMonkey 2.04] Ubuntu 10.04 does not provide 'man seamonkey'. Where can I find a current manpage for it? | 15:12 |
| falconic | Dr_Willis: How can I tell apt to install everything to opt folder in the first place.. | 15:13 |
| jrib | falconic: you can't | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: via apt. not very easially.. via source.. very easially. | 15:13 |
| arcnewuss | sudo apt-get install esound and the sound now works perfectly, analog, ac3 and dts, thanks a bunch | 15:13 |
| Vigo | bullgard: Those docs are at MozDev and the SeaMonkey site. | 15:13 |
| uLinux | isn't there OFFICIAL ppas? | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | part of apt's feature is the ability to upgrade as needed. | 15:13 |
| falconic | Dr_Willis: That is what I am asking :) | 15:13 |
| olegign | how can i run blizzard games on ubuntu | 15:13 |
| jrib | falconic: you'll just be making linux harder to use | 15:13 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: you just said you wanted to use source.. you could recompile from source and build debs that then install to whever you want. | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | olegign | 15:14 |
| ubottu | olegign: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 15:14 |
| jrib | falconic: (with no real benefit) | 15:14 |
| falconic | jrib: in my situation I see a benefit.. I only have 10 GB root partition on EC2 | 15:14 |
| hmw | what the heck? The RAM, I just bought has lifetime guarantee. But not in Germany, they only are allowed to have 10 years guarantee!?!? | 15:14 |
| jrib | falconic: 10gb is plenty | 15:14 |
| Dr_Willis | 10gb for / is rather large actually. | 15:14 |
| falconic | now I want to install all the things on the new /opt folder which is mounted on a secondary drive. | 15:15 |
| olegign | nice work on ubuntu its looks way batter then microsoft | 15:15 |
| Dr_Willis | falconic: you do realize you can move some dirs from / to a second drive/partition and the system will still work? | 15:15 |
| falconic | jrib: I have seen the benefits of this on my snow leopard systemn.. if I break somehting.. I just need to delete that folder and everything is back to normal. | 15:15 |
| falconic | yes | 15:15 |
| junky[ins4n3] | please could anyone answer this? | 15:16 |
| falconic | but then is there a way I can tell a deb to be installed in a particular directory | 15:16 |
| junky[ins4n3] | if i run apt-get install --no-download it asks me to download even if there are packages in /var/cache/apt/archives...... how do i solve it | 15:16 |
| falconic | I think that shd do.. | 15:16 |
| bullgard | Vigo: Do you mean this site: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/? There is none. | 15:16 |
| jrib | falconic: apt makes it easy to remove packages, if you ever want to remove one for some reason | 15:16 |
| bullgard | Vigo: What do you mean by "MozDev" site? | 15:17 |
| falconic | jrib: I thought linux people like to compile things from source and use them.. this is very otherwise :P | 15:17 |
| llutz | falconic: those are called "gentoo-users" | 15:18 |
| AdvoWork | is there an alternative to doing: sudo ufw disable? as it auto enables on reboot | 15:18 |
| jrib | falconic: no, you shouldn't compile things from source and use them. You should use a package manager | 15:18 |
| folex | hello, after run PulseAudio Device Chooser i have infinite noise when nothin is played, lsod /dev/snd/* is empty, it is not PulseAudio trouble, I hear noise after gdm start, and can`t disable it, volume level changing have no effect | 15:18 |
| jrib | even gentoo users use a package manager | 15:18 |
| onetinsoldier | junky[ins4n3]: i don't know what to make of that really, so keep asking! how many packages are you wanting it to install from /var/cache/apt/archives? | 15:18 |
| falconic | jrib: I am asking a simple question.. can I make a package manager to install to a specific folder.. | 15:18 |
| falconic | if u can help .. please tell.. | 15:18 |
| jrib | falconic: I already, said "no, you can't" | 15:18 |
| falconic | "no, you can't" coming from linux guy is very unexpected to say the least | 15:19 |
| falconic | have u heard of GNU stow ? | 15:19 |
| junky[ins4n3] | onetinsoldier: say 18 | 15:19 |
| jrib | falconic: fine. "You can, but not easily" | 15:19 |
| onetinsoldier | junky[ins4n3]: roger. you can install them manually on the command line with 'dpkg' instead of apt-get if you want | 15:20 |
| ryoohki | is this the right channel to ask a apt-get question? in the red hat world, the are software groups so you can just "yum grouplist ; yum groupinstall Emacs" ; i know apt-get has this too, so "apt-get install kde" ; how do i list these software groups? | 15:20 |
| junky[ins4n3] | onetinsoldier: could u give me d syntax? no downloads rite? | 15:20 |
| jrib | falconic: it just really shouldn't be an issue. Use APT like it's meant to until you see a problem with default behavior | 15:20 |
| onetinsoldier | junky[ins4n3]: for example... dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/less-1.0-amd64.deb | 15:21 |
| Yum | ryoohki, what me? | 15:21 |
| donavan01 | does anyone know of there is a program like CloneDVD for linux ... I need something to do dvd backups (yes its legal) | 15:21 |

| falconic | let me re-jig and see | 15:21 |
| Izinucs | ryoohki: man apt or man dpkg might shed some light on that | 15:21 |

| onetinsoldier | k0d3g3ar: no. don't really know anything about samba. i just have it installed and thought i'd look up where the log files were for you | 15:40 |

| uLinux | some keys I didnt add | 15:44 |
| SARO | Dr_Willis: how can this happen?? it worked even in older versions and my wlan card is totally standard prism | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: not my fault. Check the forums and bug reports. | 15:44 |
| iceroot | markus_: but i dont think its a kubuntu-desktop bug, but more a bug of your system/config | 15:44 |

| SARO | WHYE DOES IT sry why does it not support my card anymore???? | 15:44 |
| SARO | ok | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: could be the drive has changed to some other driver for your card. There is no such thing as a 'standard' anything when it comes to wireless cards from what ive seen | 15:44 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: keep ranting and most of the channel will put you on ignore. | 15:45 |
| JoeSA | why is ubuntu so complex when I want to use my phone as a modem over bluetooth? | 15:45 |
| SARO | Dr_Willis: well prism is totally common so that qualifies as pretty much standard | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: that is not correct logic. | 15:45 |
| Dr_Willis | its all about the specific chipset of the card. | 15:45 |
| iceroot | SARO: internet explorer is very common but has nothing to do with a standard | 15:45 |
| SARO | Dr_Willis: well ... you made me say it, yes it is on windows and it works there | 15:45 |
| SARO | srsly why does it not support a card that once worked and is in like every second laptop | 15:45 |
| IdleOne | SARO: focus on getting help. give the channel info on your card and what you have done to trouble shoot | 15:46 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: Stick to the facts.. #1 - what CHIPSET is the card? | 15:46 |
| SARO | its ridiculous and its a valid complain | 15:46 |

| xomp | how to ensure MySQL is completely removed from my ubuntu? | 15:47 |
| markus_ | <iceroot> No clue. Just can say I were running 8.04 wirthout any problems | 15:47 |
| iceroot | markus_: yes, 8.04 is running kde3, correct? | 15:48 |
| maco | ryoohki: there are meta-packages which pull in lots of stuff (example: ubuntu-desktop) and also "tasks" which i think are a bit closer to what you mean. for those, run "sudo tasksel" and itll give you a menu of them | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: you can be a bit more verbose in your replies.. I answerd your question. thats where mine are at.. so what is the actual problem then? | 15:48 |
| uLinux | I click restore defaults and nothing happens | 15:48 |
| iceroot | xomp: dpkg -l mysql-server | 15:48 |
| Vigo | colex: VLC looks like a lightweight. Still looking... | 15:48 |
| SARO | hey guys and also why did they put the "close/minimize/maximize window" buttons TO THE LEFT?? | 15:48 |
| maco | ryoohki: metapackages are just packages with nothing in them that have a bunch of dependencies | 15:48 |
| SARO | i am used to having them on the right as like everybody else on every other OS is | 15:48 |
| iceroot | !controls | SARO | 15:48 |
| ubottu | SARO: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 | 15:48 |
| SARO | how can i change it back? | 15:48 |
| ryoohki | maco: how do i list the meta packages? | 15:49 |
| SARO | ok thanks | 15:49 |
| maco | SARO: because in the ubuntu (but not kubuntu) world, mark's sense of taste rules the design side | 15:49 |
| SARO | dont get why they do such a weird thing | 15:49 |
| ryoohki | maco: thanks, btw | 15:49 |
| IdleOne | uLinux: the first two are Ubuntu keys ( keep them ) then you got Tor ( keep that also if you are using tor ) the last 3 are the keys for the PPA's if you have removed those ppa's from your sources then you can delete them | 15:49 |
| uLinux | tks! | 15:49 |

| Dr_Willis | Just wait for the next release.. | 15:50 |
| Pici | ryoohki: look at tasksel | 15:50 |
| maco | ryoohki: theyre just like any other package, so there's no way to see *just* them except maybe to get lucky that they all have a certain search term in their description. tasks are probably your best choice if you want a way to just list that | 15:50 |
| amartinenco | I have a problem, my vm3.2.0 supports usb but when ever i run my win2003 virtual machine the usb option is grayed out. What can i do? | 15:50 |
| maco | TheGrammarFreak: because gnome has a new release every 6 months ? | 15:50 |
| Pici | ryoohki: Actually, thats not entirely correct, sorry. meta-packages are different from tasks, but there are some overlap. | 15:51 |
| ryoohki | Pici & maco: thanks | 15:51 |

| SARO | maco: wtf no i want it as a GUI element, like everybody else does, like windows has it and even older ubuntu did | 15:51 |
| maco | SARO: then use network manager | 15:52 |
| TheGrammarFreak | maco, Cool | 15:52 |
| amartinenco | My vm3.2.0 supports usb but when ever i run my win2003 virtual machine the usb option is grayed out. What can i do? | 15:52 |

| Unno | Hello ppl ... I need a little help with a more demanding question that involves shared memory .. C .. and the function shmat that seems to fail in Ubuntu 10.04 x64.. | 16:11 |
| dekroning | what is the main difference between the "Ubuntu Desktop" and "Ubuntu server" installation cd? the server just skips X install ? | 16:12 |
| jrib | dekroning: and different kernel | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | dekroning: diffent installer also. text based on server. | 16:12 |
| jrib | Unno: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 16:12 |
| dekroning | jrib: ok... older kernel? | 16:13 |
| chang | both of them install X windows ,but server don't initiate the X | 16:13 |
| nmvictor | what was this terminal that was launched by pressing <F12>? | 16:13 |
| colex | colex: yep, my proffesor does, however he uses Windows, so I tried to install vnc in LXDE but no joy, then I've tried tighvnc, but every time a user connects it opens a new session instead of showing my actual desktop | 16:13 |
| llutz | nmvictor: guake, yakuake | 16:13 |
| jrib | dekroning: no, kernel is optimized for the server (I don't know what that exactly means offhand) | 16:13 |
| colex | Dr_Willis: : yep, my proffesor does, however he uses Windows, so I tried to install vnc in LXDE but no joy, then I've tried tighvnc, but every time a user connects it opens a new session instead of showing my actual desktop | 16:13 |
| nmvictor | llutz: thanks | 16:14 |
| Unno | Ok... so why does shmat(key,0,0) fail in Ubuntu 10.04 x64 ? | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | colex: you have to set up vnc properly and have their client be told to connect to an existing session | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | colex: windows version of vnc is very 'limited' - vnc on linux is MUCH more fleiable | 16:14 |
| Lartza_ | On ubuntu, do you need to edit /etc/hosts.allow | 16:15 |
| hideki | haaaaai | 16:15 |
| Lartza_ | to get servers working | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Lartza_: odd.. ive never had to edit that file for my vnc servers. | 16:15 |
| colex | I'm using REALVNC in windows clients to test, but there's not such an option to connect to existing session | 16:15 |
| Pici | Lartza_: Only if you modified /etc/hosts.deny | 16:15 |
| archetype | Unno: what does that mean? what is the error? EACCESS? EINVAL? ENOMEM? Did you try to print the error message? | 16:15 |
| colex | Dr_Willis: I'm using REALVNC in windows clients to test, but there's not such an option to connect to existing session | 16:15 |

Is there there even more sensible information? | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | colex: check their docs again. If the session want is on ip:1 then tell the clients to connect to the ip:1 that will be seesion 1 | 16:15 |
| archetype | Unno:i would try perror for starters | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | colex: otherwise they go to the next 'making a new session' | 16:16 |

| al1x | Pici, i need something to install, to prevent attackers/ddosers from hitting my box | 16:17 |
| egsome | Is there any command line torrent client available in the repos ? | 16:17 |
| xro_ | Dr_Willis, i'm logged and i would like to close the X server | 16:17 |
| erUSUL | egsome: rtorrent | 16:17 |
| colex | Dr_Willis: wait a second, when I start vncserver it gives me starting a session in :1 , I can connect and watch the desktop from clients however it's not my present Desktop session | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | xro_: kill the gdm service, or kill the X process... | 16:18 |
| erUSUL | xro_: ask in a debian channel | 16:18 |
| Unno | to be more specific the shmget(key,0,0) .. returns the correct id and with that id and with full permissions in mind shmat fails | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | colex: if te clients connect to the server:1 then it should be the same desktop. vncserver has options to force clients into different modes. (watch only for example) | 16:18 |
| xro_ | Dr_Willis, is it without risk? it is a server... | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | xro_: if you kill X.. you kill X.. all x apps are shut down. | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | xro_: on a real 'server' one normally dosent run X at all. | 16:19 |
| xro_ | Dr_Willis, yes... but i need it for a specific app... so i could kill x without kill non X apps? | 16:19 |
| egsome | How can i protect my ubuntu server from flood attacks ? any good firewall available ? | 16:19 |
| Pici | al1x: Well, Ubuntu uses iptables, you can manage your firewall rules with iptables directly or with ufw/gufw. Is that the sort of thing you are looking for? | 16:19 |
| nmvictor | i have tweaked my xorg.conf the best way google knows how, but still i cant get compiz to start.i get the error : checking for Xgl : not present | 16:19 |
| Pici | !firewall | egsome | 16:19 |
| ubottu | egsome: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | xro_: Non X apps that are ran by a terminal ON the X display. will get killed off.. so you need to not start them from X of course. | 16:20 |
| nmvictor | which package provides xgl? | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | xro_: ssh in, run your app.. X is not affecting it . | 16:20 |

| hideki | http://fukumoto-tech.serveblog.net/wordpress/ | 16:22 |
| nmvictor | WHICH PACKAGE PROVIDES XGL? | 16:23 |

| Dr_Willis | colex: normally gnome shares the CURRENT desktop as :0 but you said you were using the vncserver. thats not the same as using the 'share the desktop' feature of gnome. | 16:23 |

| edmoore | and then add the symlink | 16:52 |
| psusi | edmoore: no since that will not preserve ownership and permissions, you need to sudo cp -a it | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard: its possible it might have some password or other sensitive type info in it. | 16:52 |
| edmoore | psusi: ok thanks | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard: older log files get archived. thats what the #'s are for. I tend to clear them out every so often | 16:53 |

| Dr_Willis | bullgard: it COULD be in any of the gdm log files. thats why its a warning that it 'may contain' if you are worried about it.. then dont inlude them | 16:54 |

| krishnandu | how to remove python2 and install python3?? | 16:55 |
| Soyo | llutz | nice, thanks | 16:55 |
| bullgard | Dr_Willis: You are speaking about "COULD". I have been checking actually. And I had a precise question. | 16:55 |
| compaq | krishnandu, did you try apt-get remove and then apt-get install? | 16:56 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> Nope. I'm asking how to do it | 16:56 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> Currently I used sudo apt-get install python3 | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard: so you found a password in the files? or what did you find? The most senesitive information could be some of your passwords to machines you used. rephrase your question perhaps. | 16:56 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> And the installation is going on | 16:56 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> Now how to remove the older version?? | 16:57 |
| compaq | krishnandu, thats it. | 16:57 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> But how to remove the older version?? Leaving it won't have any problem?? | 16:57 |
| compaq | krishnandu, it probably did it automatically, and it says it there to | 16:57 |
| compaq | krishnandu, no, it will remove I bet, I never used it myself | 16:57 |

| krishnandu | <compaq> Okies....How would I see the version?? | 16:57 |
| bullgard | Dr_Willis: If a password is contained, in what file is it then precisely? | 16:57 |
| compaq | krishnandu, but usually there remove older ones when new ones are installed | 16:58 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> hmm | 16:58 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> lemme see | 16:58 |
| nmvictor | ok, what would be the appropritae Horsync, VertSync and refresh rate for a 12" inch monitor? using an ati/radeon driver? | 16:58 |
| compaq | krishnandu, you can run any program name with -v option to see version. Well most programs have that option | 16:58 |
| krishnandu | <compaq> Nope the older version is not removed. When I typed python i get the older console and when i type python3 i get the newer console | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | bullgard: GDM logs get taken and slowly 'arvchived/moved' to different names thats why you have different #'s on them. current one is proberly no#. .1 is yesterdays .2 is the day befors (or somthing like that) so its possible that your sensetive information could be in any of them.. because its logs of gdm fro the last week+ | 16:59 |
| plazia | anyone else have the problem where sometimes you boot up and your ntfs partitions are visible and other times you boot up and they are not? | 16:59 |
| compaq | krishnandu, ok, so you are good then, but if you do want to remove older one use apt-get remove, but I wouldn't worry about it too much | 16:59 |

| _blackwater_ | Roasted it will show authentication success / fail and also all 5 stages of negotiation. | 17:36 |
| jbendotnet | am struggling to sign in to a user account via ssh | 17:36 |
| Roasted | _blackwater_, so do I just type that command in and THEN try to connect to the wireless? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: i would have to suggest checking the forums for your exact chipset and see if any other users of 10.04 have had any issues. could be somthing trival wrong. | 17:36 |
| SARO | i will try a reboot | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | SARO: or could be some very hard to find bug. | 17:37 |

| jbendotnet | any pointers on the log file to look in? | 17:37 |
| b3bu | obrigado | 17:37 |
| kev_ | GeekSquid, not in failsafe anyway. But When I tried logging in at failsafe gnome (which is supposed to give me a gui instead of the terminal), I can see nothing but a simpel gdasklet app I had on my desktop. Nothing else is visible (just black) or clickable. But I can click on this desklet and change its properties etc. And that means its not that my xorg crashed, right? | 17:37 |
| b3bu | tankys | 17:37 |
| _blackwater_ | Roasted yes. Open a console, type ' tail -F /var/log/syslog ', then try to connect. | 17:37 |
| llutz | jbendotnet: /var/log/auth.log, try "ssh -vvv user@host" to get more info | 17:37 |
| michelle__ | so... has anyone installed 10.04 with an nvidia raid yet? so far i havent been able to get it to work... but i am a total noob | 17:38 |
| Roasted | thanks _blackwater_ . Have you personally had this same issue as me at any point? | 17:38 |
| Roasted | michelle__, I have 10.04 on an nvidia card, but that desktop is @ home | 17:38 |
| markl | michelle__: you mean a "raid" that is built onto the motherboard? | 17:38 |
| kev_ | GeekSquid, And what if I'm able to log in thru a terminal (which kind of confuse me 'cos I'm already at a terminal!) What next? | 17:38 |
| jbendotnet | llutz: shoudl I do ssh -vvv whilst logged in ? | 17:38 |
| llutz | jbendotnet: when trying to connect | 17:38 |
| mrfelton | Hi. I'm trying to create a startup item for Skype, but it's not working. The command I have used is: echo username password | skype --pipelogin & | 17:38 |
| markl | michelle__: those are 100% useless; you should get a card like maybe something from 3ware (cheap on ebay) | 17:38 |
| michelle__ | yes... raid 5 array 4 250g disks | 17:38 |
| mrfelton | this command works when called from the terminal | 17:38 |
| mrfelton | but not from the startup application | 17:39 |
| GeekSquid | kev_ sounds right, uh I think Compiz may have crashed... try Ctrl-Alt-T and run compiz --replace-metacity | 17:39 |
| mrfelton | any ideas?! | 17:39 |
| michelle__ | i know... but i have my xp install already on the raid and i need to dual boot it | 17:39 |
| markl | michelle__: "built in" motherboard raid is really just a hook to a windows driver | 17:39 |
| _blackwater_ | Roasted yes - most of the time to see if I fatfingered a password, or just completely out of range, or if I had a radio problem with my chip. | 17:39 |
| markl | and the real processing happens in windows | 17:39 |
| xingfudan | hello | 17:39 |
| michelle__ | yes i know... but dmraid doesnt seem to load auromatically | 17:39 |
| Roasted | _blackwater_, the thing is theres a checkbox to *show password* in plain text. I am absolutely, positively, 100% that the password is completely correct. There's no getting around that. I type it in windows, it works. I type it in ubuntu, it doesn't. Same PW. Same SSID. Same network. | 17:40 |
| markl | my suggestion is to never use RAID unless you have a separate card | 17:40 |
| jbendotnet | llutz: ok, what am I looking for? | 17:40 |
| markl | linux software raid has serious problems too | 17:40 |
| michelle__ | and the alt disc install doesnt seem to see the raid even after i tell it to activate it | 17:40 |
| llutz | jbendotnet: errors, warnings | 17:40 |
| jbendotnet | kk | 17:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: could try setting a simpler password, just to test. not all adapters can use wpa under linux | 17:40 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, mine can. | 17:40 |
| kev_ | GeekSquid, Compiz? I'm not sure if i had it installed...might have messed up with the package manager,....I'll do it....but I think this happened when I was trying out xfce. It was so buggy. One time, the sound won't work, and the other time, all my icons dissappears! i was just trying it out. And finally it somehow ended up like this. Today mornng I logged out from XFCE and when tried to log in again, the "you have logged out within s " message appeared | 17:41 |
| jbendotnet | it's saying it's an invalid user in the log | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: try wicd | 17:41 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I tried several networks here at work. WPA, WPA2, WPA2 enterprise, etc. They all work except the one WPA network I try. | 17:41 |
| jbendotnet | llutz: fot allowed because not listed in AllowUsers | 17:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: does it have mac filtering or any other extra security? | 17:41 |
| kev_ | GeekSquid, just one sec, let me try out what u said | 17:41 |
| llutz | jbendotnet: so adjust sshd_config | 17:41 |
| jbendotnet | wonder why it's changed | 17:41 |
| michelle__ | i have looked at he how to on the site... and tried to follow the one for the alt disc install, but it failed to see the raid | 17:41 |
| jbendotnet | will do | 17:41 |
| markl | michelle__: my recommendation is to get something like: http://tinyurl.com/25yw4n5 | 17:42 |
| markl | and start over your raid project - never use motherboard or software raid | 17:42 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, no, this particular network is a simple WPA passphrase network. | 17:42 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, its an identical setup to 2 other buildings (however theres different wireless controllers there) but its all the same kind of security and layout. Theyw rok, but this particular one does not. Hence my frustration. | 17:42 |
| jbendotnet | llutz: ok - clearly never signed in via SSH with this user | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | doh | 17:43 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I WAS able to connect at one point, but Id lose connection like every 10 minutes and itd struggle re-gaining it. Most often Id have to reboot to regain it. | 17:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: got the latest driver for your device? | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | in | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | phew | 17:43 |
| michelle__ | markl: i cant... my windows install is on the raid | 17:43 |
| llutz | jbendotnet: not every user needs ssh-access | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | true | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | this one does | 17:43 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, whatever came in hardware driver mgr in 10.04 | 17:43 |
| markl | michelle__: copy your windows data to another drive temporarily or something like that | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | just doing it all via cli and su'ing to the user | 17:43 |
| jbendotnet | so didn't notice | 17:44 |
| markl | michelle__: it won't be easy but you have to get rid of that POS motherboard raid somehow | 17:44 |
| Lartza_ | how do you restart xfce login manager? | 17:44 |
| karma_police | i want to be able to right click a volume or flash drive and format but i don't have that option | 17:44 |
| Lartza_ | Or display manager | 17:44 |
| Lartza_ | what's the service? | 17:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: maybe there is a newer one that hardware manager doesn't know about yet. i'm guessing its some cheap broadcom 43xx thing | 17:44 |
| llutz | Lartza_: gdm most likely | 17:45 |
| phillyj | how do i remove a program? I ran "make clean" and then "make distclean" as was said in the install file but the folder is still there | 17:45 |
| ActionParsnip | karma_police: you need to add a service menu in nautilus | 17:45 |
| michelle__ | nah... i know they have support for it in dmraid... would rather use that if i can | 17:45 |
| shamelessn00b | hi, I accidently rm -r'ed my /home/Desktop folder | 17:45 |

| shamelessn00b | ? | 17:46 |
| llutz | Lartza_: afaik xfce has no special dm | 17:46 |
| michelle__ | when i am ready to dump windows completely, i would redo it as a software raid | 17:46 |
| jrib | !recover | shamelessn00b | 17:46 |
| ubottu | shamelessn00b: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 17:46 |
| kev_ | And when I tried failsafe gnome again, I just got a message that gconf server exited with an error ( It was there before, I simply forgot to tell you) | 17:46 |

| phillyj | i used the ./configure; make; make install method | 17:46 |
| ThinkingInBits | So I installed vsftpd and I'm successfully connecting to /var/www through ftp, but when I try to upload a file I receive a critical file transfer error, any ideas? | 17:46 |

| shamelessn00b | Im tryng to use scalpel | 17:47 |
| llutz | ThinkingInBits: checked permissions? "ls -ld /var/www" | 17:47 |
| ActionParsnip | karma_police: someone may have already made one as it does make sense | 17:47 |
| archetype | told ya that this is a PEBCAK | 17:47 |
| jrib | phillyj: why? You should always use APT whenever possible. To remove it, you'll have to read tho software's documentation. Sometimes developers include a "make uninstall" rule. When they don't you must delete the files yourself | 17:47 |
| shamelessn00b | but it gives me shit loads of files to sift through | 17:47 |
| Lartza_ | what's the keyboard showrcut to restart xorg after the backspace was disabled? | 17:47 |

| ^kiff^ | hi | 17:55 |
| llutz | ThinkingInBits: 777 is a bad idea in most cases. why does your ftp-user needs access to your home? | 17:55 |
| ThinkingInBits | well his home directory is /var/www | 17:55 |
| phillyj | jrib: it was a FFTW; a Fourier Transform library | 17:56 |
| llutz | ThinkingInBits: ftp-home ok, "chgrp group /var/www" and "chmod g+w /var/www" where group is your ftp-group | 17:56 |
| ThinkingInBits | llutz: the ftp user is named ftpuser in a group entitled ftpuser | 17:56 |
| jrib | phillyj: there are plenty of those, you're being vague | 17:56 |
| phillyj | jrib: a C subroutine library | 17:57 |

| Dark_Wolf | ActionParsnip: Doesn't have 10.04 for my model. | 18:03 |
| ActionParsnip | xloosescrewx: the thing after the link is a command to run in terminal, copy the outouot and paste it into the link , this will allow you to give the output without spamming the channel to death | 18:04 |
| jrib | phillyj: as I said before: To remove it, you'll have to read tho software's documentation. Sometimes developers include a "make uninstall" rule. When they don't you must delete the files yourself | 18:04 |

| bezdomni | Is ubuntu software center the preferred way to install software, or is it a convenience that shouldn't be expected to work consistently at this point? | 18:05 |
| Cynthia | bezdomni: the former | 18:05 |
| jrib | bezdomni: the former | 18:05 |
| phillyj | jrib: o ic; i can't find the fftw 2.1.3 in the software center; i'll try apt-get | 18:05 |
| Cynthia | but you can also use Synaptic (which is expected to be stable) and apt-get (also) | 18:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark_Wolf: if there is an xorg.conf there then you can make the file and use it (for example). xorg.conf can still be used | 18:05 |
| jrib | phillyj: the package name is fftw2. There's also sfftw2 but I don't know the difference. You'll have to check that | 18:06 |
| Dark_Wolf | ActionParsnip: I have no idea how to make an xorg.conf | 18:06 |
| bezdomni | I ask because I am using a fresh install of ubuntu, and it keeps spitting errors at me like "sorry this software is not available for your i386 architecture" (nevermind that I am on an i686 machine), and downloads hang more often than they go through.) | 18:06 |
| bezdomni | Alright, cool - thanks. Synaptic is still the way to go? | 18:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark_Wolf: there are thousands of example files online, you can use sections or full versions of those files to make the xorg.conf file | 18:06 |
| hmw | when I want to play games in VirtualBox, should I install the OSE or the personal edition? | 18:07 |

| hmw | thanks | 18:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark_Wolf: you can generate one with: sudo Xorg -configure | 18:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | hmw, gaming in VBox will probably be disappointing FYI - wine is a better option | 18:08 |
| Dark_Wolf | ActionParsnip: I'll try. | 18:08 |
| Cynthia | bezdomni: (+) actually, your "no packages for this architecture" error might be because of a hung download for the package list itself - so it has an incomplete one to draw from | 18:08 |
| ZykoticK9 | Dark_Wolf, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file | 18:08 |
| bezdomni | cynthia: nah, I don't think it is. Downloading with aptitude, wget, through the browser...etc are fine. | 18:08 |
| Cynthia | try again later | 18:08 |
| jrib | How do I stop mplayer from spamming "bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111)" about a dozen times everytime I use it? (apparently the message is not specific to mplayer, though that's the only way I have experienced it) | 18:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark_Wolf: you can then tweak to make it use a slightly different config to get better performance etc etc | 18:09 |
| bezdomni | Cynthia: Ok - that is interesting! I think something did screw up there a while ago, but I thought it was mended. | 18:09 |
| bezdomni | Thank you! | 18:09 |
| Cynthia | bezdomni: ah :) you can try fixing that with an 'apt-get update' command | 18:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Dark_Wolf: if you get no X, boot to root recovery console and rename the file. | 18:09 |

| jef91 | Pici when I run apt-get upgrade it tell me 10 packages are being held back but not way | 18:12 |
| Pici | jef91: the 'upgrade' argument will not upgrade packages that have new dependencies. What if you use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? | 18:12 |
| DrNight | ActionParsnip, thank you for your opinion. | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jef91: the packages have dependancies which have not been met yet | 18:12 |
| Cynthia | unclemantis: that's the most likely cause of the error you described, in my experience | 18:12 |
| ThinkingInBits | Hmm, does anyone know where the configuration file for Apache2 is located? The one that contains the document root and what not? I tried httpd.conf in etc/apache2, but the file was blank. I tried apache2.conf, but this didn't contain anything about my document root. | 18:12 |
| ActionParsnip | jef91: so they will not come down til the dependancies are met | 18:13 |
| Pici | ThinkingInBits: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ | 18:13 |
| ThinkingInBits | thanks | 18:13 |
| jef91 | ActionParsnip how do I see those dependencies? | 18:13 |
| Pici | ActionParsnip, jef91: And they will never be grabbed if they require new packages if he does not use 'dist-upgrade' | 18:13 |
| unclemantis | another proccess IS using it, my login balled on me so i want to start over | 18:13 |

| unclemantis | I had a blue screen with an OK and I couldn't click it so i just closed my Term and logged into a new one | 18:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jef91: not sure dude, the upgrades will coe when they are good and ready | 18:14 |
| Pici | jef91: you're welcome. | 18:14 |

| unclemantis | how do i get back into that other session? | 18:14 |
| matumba | hey, can anyone tell me, when "ps" shows a process in parentheses? eg. running squid as root, creates a child process with user proxy and ps output shows (squid) | 18:15 |
| Cynthia | (or just Enter if OK is the only choice and it's red [currently selected]) | 18:15 |
| ActionParsnip | matumba: ps -ef | grep -i squid | 18:15 |
| Cynthia | matumba: that's squid doing that, it must have some meaning to squid itself - perhaps to indicate the fact that it's not the root squid process | 18:15 |
| greggg | help with sound please | 18:16 |
| Cynthia | unclemantis: what were you trying to do before you closed the Terminal instead of navigating to OK with the keyboard? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | !details | greggg | 18:16 |
| ubottu | greggg: 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 ..." | 18:16 |
| xloosescrewx | ok ActionParsnip I posted the terminal to pastebin | 18:16 |
| matumba | Cynthia, so it's like execl("...squid", "(squid)", NONE);? | 18:16 |
| ActionParsnip | xloosescrewx: ok now copy the address bar and paste in here | 18:16 |
| greggg | ok | 18:16 |
| Cynthia | matumba: it will still be 'squid' to run it, but it will adjust its "command line" to read '(squid)' if it's not the root process | 18:17 |
| xloosescrewx | okhttp://pastebin.com/XvyPKrxs | 18:17 |
| bastid_raZor | unclemantis: you should have used tab to move the highlight to the OK dialog then pressed enter | 18:17 |
| ActionParsnip | xloosescrewx: ok great, now I can read what you pasted, you now know how to pastebin :) | 18:17 |
| Cynthia | matumba: (+) for example, 'ssh' often gives 'ssh: net' and 'ssh: accept' processes | 18:17 |
| xloosescrewx | ok cool | 18:17 |
| matumba | Cynthia, thx | 18:18 |

| greggg | having problem with sound,everything seems to be installed,i just dont hear anything.my kinux version is 10.04 lucid | 18:19 |
| DrNight | Well, forums seem to indicate that some other methods that don't use p# (like nvidia) work fine. So I'm going to guess that all isw devices require a workaround for use during installation. | 18:19 |
| DrNight | Oh, well, I'll keep at it. | 18:19 |

| karma_police | i used to could right click the flash drive icon and format it but that option is no longer there.. i'd like the fix that if its not too incredibly hard. i'm still a noob | 18:19 |
| Cynthia | greggg: while that is indeed more information, often this type of problem has to do with drivers being unavailable, if you didn't touch the default configuration | 18:20 |
| hmw | karma_police: that option will probably only show, if the drive is not yet formatted. | 18:20 |

| unclemantis | so how do i get back to my other session? | 18:23 |
| plazia | yeah sarcasm isn't easily conveyed over a textual medium. | 18:23 |
| Cynthia | greggg: the driver should be installed, then; I had an Intel ICH7 audio chipset last year and it worked. Try going to System / Preferences / Sound and see if anything obvious is missing, for example that Hardware has the right card selected, Output has the right type of output (analog or digital), and Applications has no Mute tick for the application you're trying to use | 18:23 |
| hmw | plazia: not that i know about it. Do you have SCSI drives? | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | plazia: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows | 18:23 |
| plazia | well they're all sata so sorta count as scsi I guess. | 18:24 |
| yizi | anyone got a good guide for openvpn? | 18:24 |
| bezdomni | plazia: I've never encoutered such a problem - but intuitively I'm thinking maybe that problem could be with your BIOS? | 18:24 |
| plazia | in the sense that hdparm requires you to do /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda. | 18:24 |
| karma_police | is there a tutorial fo how to use the nautilus actions? | 18:24 |
| plazia | it only happens about 1 out of every 5 bootups. | 18:24 |
| bezdomni | karma_police - I think there is a help menu with a decent tutorial. | 18:24 |

| jrib | xnox: please don't advertise here | 18:39 |
| xnox | it's not advertisement =) | 18:39 |
| Cynthia | it was probably an /amsg with that piece of news | 18:39 |

| xnox | no it was not amsg | 18:39 |
| LedHed | sometimes when I do an 'apt-get update' the downloads stall out, or slow to 1kbps, is there a way to prevent this (and no its not my internet connection) | 18:39 |

| hmw | dejavou42: Perhaps you can find out, if something happened before that error started happening; Did you update? Install software? Change Themes? Tweak your system in some way? | 18:39 |
| Pici | xnox: This is a support channel, are you asking a question about that? | 18:39 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: just looked, nautilus doesn't seem to have a log | 18:39 |
| hmw | dejavou42: what were the last things you did in general? | 18:40 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: that's the weird part, its pretty much a new install with no extra start up applications yet or anything | 18:40 |

| dejavou42 | the last thing i did before the problem was install a piece of software on wine, but I also uninstalled it | 18:40 |
| hmw | dejavou42: very weird theory: bad sector ate part of your Nautilus | 18:41 |

| aeon-ltd | dejavou42: btw my solution will just offset the problem not solve it | 18:49 |
| dejavou42 | aeon-ltd: the only thing close to that is remote desktop which has nothing to do with nautilus. | 18:50 |

| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip, when i go to gokgs.com webstart doesn't let me play in Chromium. Says that java plugin is missing? | 18:57 |
| Cynthia | abuayyoub: a bit of explanation is in order. Your "partition" for Wubi is in fact just a file on Windows, that file having a filesystem of its own. You'll need to extract that "file" into an actual partition and make it bootable. | 18:57 |
| abuayyoub | Cynthia, From my ubuntu install. Which im logged into right now. ( I have two boot selections at startup win 7 and ubuntu) | 18:57 |
| abuayyoub | Cynthia, Ok, I got you. | 18:57 |
| sebsebseb | razib: probably | 18:57 |
| Cynthia | abuayyoub: The Ubuntu install you're using can't edit partitions. It'll only see from within that file. You'll need to boot into a real LiveCD | 18:58 |
| valinux | test | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | razib: if you move/delete the correct .folders and then re load the account, I guess it will work properly again | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | razib: hidden .folders in Home | 18:58 |
| aeon-ltd | dejavou42: are you viewing xinitrc now? | 18:58 |

| scuffed | can anyone help me with my atheros problem im having? | 18:58 |
| Nilos | bk | 18:58 |
| dejavou42 | aeon-ltd: ok the only thing in that file is . /etc/X11/xsession | 18:58 |
| aeon-ltd | dejavou42: no in your home directory show hidden files there should be a xinitrc | 18:59 |
| dejavou42 | aeon-ltd: I should say the only thing not commented out | 18:59 |

| ActionParsnip | livingdaylight: absolutely. some 64bit plugins go through nspluginwrapper which I think is messy considering native plugins exist rather than using 32bit via a wrapper | 19:06 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: just a hunch here, as I know that compiz causes a lot of problems. try backing up your compiz preferences, purging compiz, and see if the problem goes away. | 19:06 |
| Cynthia | You have the bonus of not having to ask the question to multiple people in query if one says they don't know how to help. | 19:06 |
| hmw | dejavou42: oookay | 19:06 |
| hmw | dejavou42: though it ran stable for quite a while.. but who knows... I believe Ubuntu can do anything. | 19:07 |

| ubottu | Aazoris, please see my private message | 19:07 |
| randerz | can someone help me install gcc-4.2 and g++-4.2 on 10.04? I see these packages have been obsoleted | 19:07 |
| Cynthia | claude23: I provided two ways to extract that file in here, the programs are either 'tar' or 'file-roller' | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | x2xx2nd: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; then run: gksudo nvidia-settings save the config as you wish then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to review, if the res is wrong then change it. don't use auto in nvidia-settings if the res you want isnt present and you can manually set the res in xorg.conf by modifying the values for the resolution | 19:08 |
| Cynthia | (From PM) | 19:08 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: I have had compiz randomly cause problems for me in the past, and they have popped up random like that too. | 19:08 |
| Aazoris | Kind of hard with the lines moving so fast, I bought a vps a week ago I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed and I am wandering is ther a for like a desktop/window view other than a DOS view? If so, how would I go about having it installed? | 19:08 |
| hmw | dejavou42: i just can disable desktop effects and see, if it makes the whiteness go away | 19:08 |
| x2xx2nd | ActionParsnip: thanks buddy ill try it | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Aazoris: this channel is pretty quite at the moment, plus to make things easier when it's busy or busyish like now, when chatting to people directly we use tab :) | 19:09 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: true but you may have to reload the panel after you disable compiz | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | !tab | Aazoris | 19:09 |
| ubottu | Aazoris: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 19:09 |
| hmw | dejavou42: i will reboot | 19:09 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: ok | 19:09 |
| Cynthia | AAzoris: There is one, and you could install it with 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' on your VPS, however you'd also have to install VNC server packages | 19:09 |
| sebsebseb | Aazoris: plu theres a way to turn off the join and leave messages and such, but that depends on your client | 19:10 |
| ThinkingInBits | Hey guys, any idea why the files my FTP user uploads to the server are set with very low permissions? (-rw-------) also, why the permissions of my /var/www have to be set to 777 just to allow access? | 19:10 |
| Cynthia | Aazoris (+): Or an SSH server configured to redirect X windows. Otherwise you couldn't access the graphical interface at all. | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | pluss | 19:10 |
| Aazoris | Ok give me one sec im going to try and do that now | 19:10 |
| MPX | I've got a question | 19:10 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | MPX | 19:11 |
| ubottu | MPX: 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. :-) | 19:11 |
| MPX | If Ubuntu locks up, say, a game locks up, and CTRL + ALT + F1 will not work | 19:11 |
| MPX | I've heard that linux is virtually crash proof | 19:11 |
| sebsebseb | MPX: full screen game, or just in a window? | 19:11 |
| MPX | Full screen | 19:11 |
| sebsebseb | MPX: yeah a Linux distro is unlikely to crash, however some of the apps will at times | 19:11 |
| MPX | Is there any other keys that can bring me out to a terminal? | 19:11 |
| Soyo | !mpx | If you can get a terminal open and run top you can close it. | 19:11 |
| Soyo | !mpx | Alt+Tab | 19:12 |
| MPX | I know soyo, but let's say that I can't and that CTRL + ALT + F1 does nothing | 19:12 |
| MPX | Nor Alt + Tab | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | MPX: you can do xkill in a terminal and click on an app to close it, but yeah if your in full screen, how you going to get in the termianl? :D | 19:12 |
| Cynthia | All of MPX's terminals are inaccessible, I think. | 19:12 |
| SmartViking | Does not CTRL + ATL + F1 always work? | 19:12 |
| === krabador is now known as teti | ||
| MPX | I heard about SYSREQ keys to press or something | 19:12 |
| sebsebseb | MPX: also if you know the name of a package, you could for example killall firefox | 19:12 |
| MPX | No smartviking | 19:12 |

| Wizzup | I presume there's no ppa yet for firefox w/webm? :) | 19:13 |
| Aazoris | Ok you mean something like AceAxe | 19:13 |
| MPX | But I'm for example talking about a fullscreen game that has crashed, leaving me with a black screen, with a moving mouse cursor | 19:13 |
| crazy6 | join #kubuntu | 19:13 |
| Cynthia | Well MPX, you could try Alt+SysRQ+[R,E,I,S,U,B] to force restart | 19:13 |
| crazy6 | whoops | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Wizzup: whats webm ? | 19:13 |
| MPX | and ALT + TAB (CTRL + f1) does not work | 19:13 |
| sebsebseb | MPX: well in that case, I guess its time to use the computers power button, and switch it off like that | 19:13 |
| Wizzup | ActionParsnip: Google just opened VP8 video codec! :) http://www.webmproject.org/users/ | 19:13 |
| jad | Hello, I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but there's something unusual is happening, my fan keeps whirring for like 10 seconds every minute. Its weird cuz cpu usage is less than 10% and cpu temperature is pretty low (50C) | 19:13 |
| MPX | That was it Cynthia thanks :D But is there not a key combo exept for CTRL + ALT + f1 that will bring me to a terminal? | 19:13 |
| crazy6 | OK, so, how do I mount an ecryptfs home folder from and older user account? I know the passphrase, and all | 19:13 |
| scuffed | does anyone in here know what to do with the Atheros Chip? | 19:13 |
| Cynthia | MPX: Ctrl+Alt+F1 should be the key combo bringing you to one | 19:13 |
| Soyo | mpx | ctrl+c? | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Wizzup: no idea what that is but...er....cool | 19:13 |
| claude23 | Ok. How can I extract a TAR file in windows? | 19:14 |
| sebsebseb | jad: try ##hardware | 19:14 |
| MPX | Cynthia: But if that does not work, but SYSREQ works... | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | claude23: winrar can do it | 19:14 |
| MPX | Is there not another one that can bring me into a safe shell? | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | !windows | claude23 | 19:14 |
| ubottu | claude23: For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents | 19:14 |
| Wizzup | ActionParsnip: It's a free codec that's better than h.264, and firefox has picked up support for it | 19:14 |

| Agu10 | how can I turn compiz off, so that when I turn it on, it uses the same configuration? | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | jad: nevermind | 19:15 |
| Cynthia | MPX: I don't know of one. Maybe someone else does. (MPX wants to access a terminal from a frozen GUI (virtual terminal 7) and the other VTs are inaccessible. Perhaps a restart of X is in order... Ctrl+alt+Backspace?) | 19:15 |
| Agu10 | I mean without changing the effects config and what effect is ON and OFF | 19:15 |
| sebsebseb | jad: people have done much more stupid things in here :D | 19:15 |
| scuffed | i added the deb ##### jaunty-backports main universe multiverse and restricted | 19:15 |
| Cynthia | but C+A+Backspace is disabled by default since Jaunty | 19:15 |
| jad | yeah i know | 19:15 |
| hmw | dejavou42: after disabling and rebooting, the bug was no longer, now reenabled and reimported my compiz settings, still no bug. Perhaps that did it. | 19:15 |
| MPX | CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE...I thought that was disabled in the newer UBUNTU distros....how can I re-enable that key combo? | 19:16 |

| hmw | Cynthia: it's now alt-sysrq-k | 19:16 |

| kraut | what's the best way to change the splash screen? | 19:16 |
| scuffed | which i the repo i need to add for that? | 19:16 |
| Cynthia | MPX: You'd have to be able to run 'sudo dontzap' or something. So you'll need to have a terminal first, and then you can C+A+Backspace for the next crashes | 19:17 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: compiz is really kind of dirty although nice :) it's kind of like those sour patch kids commercials..... | 19:17 |

| kraut | sebsebseb: no, the boot splash | 19:17 |
| Soyo | MPX: that SysRq allows you talk basically right to the kernel without going through anything else (i.e. a frozen gui) | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | MPX: Cynthia: its also a config item in the keyboard section in preferences | 19:17 |
| MPX | It should be an easy way to get into a safe terminal with root access if say X crashes and all Virtual Terminals were inaccessible | 19:18 |
| Sonderblade | for some reason the initrd images on my ubuntu system has disappeared, so the computer wont boot. what is the best way to repair the system? | 19:18 |
| Cynthia | abuayyoub: It's much easier to move files around if you can just copy what you want elsewhere, then wipe everything to reinstall just that. | 19:18 |
| hmw | dejavou42: if this really was it, that was the first time in 2 years, i had compiz do so weird things... i mean those white boxes didnt only look white, they were completely disabled, which makes me wonder a bit.

| ubottu | To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Glacer: launch it from terminal to get outputs, these should help diagnose | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | abuayyoub: I don't think you can do that with Wubi | 19:18 |
| sebsebseb | abuayyoub: or not easilly anyway | 19:18 |
| Soyo | MPX: http://www.linuxhowtos.org/Tips%20and%20Tricks/sysrq.htm | 19:18 |
| MPX | Soyo, Thanks :) | 19:19 |
| abuayyoub | Cynthia, I don't mind booting from Wubi, problem is my / partition is too small, if I could just make it bigger i'm cool | 19:19 |
| Glacer | ActionParsnip, it doesnt connect in terminal | 19:19 |
| dejavou42 | hmw: I know I love it too, and wouldn't do without it, but I usually make another user to run applications (i.e. games) that don't play well with compiz | 19:19 |
| sebsebseb | abuayyoub: also in the long run a proper partitioned install is better :) | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Glacer: how do you mean connect? | 19:19 |

| sealive | Appl6: no on a running system it does not work depencies | 19:27 |
| Appl6 | alastair_: Try System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and set it to None | 19:28 |
| Appl6 | sealive: If you got an error, pastebin it please. | 19:28 |
| scuffed | Pici: how do i do that? | 19:28 |
| alastair_ | thankyou thankyou thankyou! | 19:28 |
| Cynthia | scuffed: System / Administration / Software Sources | 19:29 |

| Appl6 | MPX: Cynthia: Would killing X not reproduce whatever it is you're looking for? | 19:29 |
| sunshinepants | has anyone got a workaround for weirdness that occurs when resizing virtualbox guest windows in compiz? the bounding box stays on on desktops and the guest window doesn't resize | 19:29 |
| Cynthia | Appl6: killing X would restart it; MPX wants to freeze it | 19:29 |
| sebsebseb | sveinerik_: see pm | 19:29 |
| Cynthia | to simulate freezing after his/her game ends | 19:30 |
| sunshinepants | freakin annoying | 19:30 |
| Appl6 | MPX: Cynthia: Like kill -STOP? | 19:30 |
| [diecast] | does 'service' use /etc/init.d or an internal db? | 19:30 |
| MPX | Sysreq is print screen right? | 19:30 |
| Cynthia | perhaps, if kill -STOP freezes keyboard/mouse input... try that, MPX ^ | 19:30 |
| Cynthia | Yes | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sunshinepants: i'd ask in #vbox they may know a cure | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Glacer: any better? | 19:30 |
| MPX | ok brb | 19:31 |
| Cynthia | [diecast]: It uses a mixture of init.d and the new /etc/init Upstart scripts | 19:31 |
| [diecast] | ah, upstart, thats what i was looking for | 19:31 |
| Aazoris | ok I am having issues with the "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" it saying that it isnt recognized | 19:31 |
| Appl6 | Aazoris: If you're trying to install ubuntu-desktop, it sounds like you have other issues with your installation =). | 19:32 |
| guest1606 | hi people erm...i am newb and running 9.10 (yeah i know i'll probably upgrade some time later) in live mode and decided to install it over XP on the C partition | 19:32 |
| guest1606 | but i also have another one with lots of files that i want to keep...so i went to manual partitioning and dont really know what partitions to create and what sizes.. | 19:32 |
| MPX | That did not do jack :) | 19:32 |
| guest1606 | i politely ask for help,guidance or link. Thanks. | 19:32 |
| ThinkingInBits | Does anyone know why, by default, when I upload files to my server they are set to such low permissions? (-rw------- ) | 19:32 |
| Aazoris | What you mean by other issues | 19:32 |
| MPX | Kill does not recognize the command Cynthia | 19:32 |
| Cynthia | Aazoris: I agree with Appl6. But try to regenerate the package list with 'sudo apt-get update'. Maybe ubuntu-desktop will reappear and you can then install it. | 19:32 |
| Roasted | Does Network Manager have an option somewhere to refresh the network list like WICD and Windows do? It's VERY handy to hit refresh and see all updated networks in the area. | 19:33 |
| Cynthia | MPX: killall -STOP Xorg | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Aazoris: why are you installing it, its default in the desktop installation | 19:33 |
| blathat | I have this usb stick that does not auto mount like a good memory stick should, and I cant mount it manually following googled instructions. Can anyone lend me a hand? | 19:33 |
| Cynthia | (MPX) I wonder what that command did, now... | 19:33 |
| claude23 | Sure | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | blathat: what filesystem does it use? | 19:33 |
| Glacer | ActionParsnip, yeah thanks, reading on it and trying it out | 19:34 |
| Appl6 | Cynthia: It forcibly "pauses" the process. kill -CONT resumes it. | 19:34 |
| blathat | fat32 | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Glacer: coolio | 19:34 |
| Aazoris | command not found is what im getting | 19:34 |
| jduggan | hey guys, can you make rsyslog log the facility from which the calling appliction is attempting to log to? | 19:34 |
| Cynthia | Appl6: That wouldn't explain why MPX quit right after entering the STOP command, since XChat should have been unaffected | 19:34 |
| ActionParsnip | blathat: hmm, does: dmesg | tail -n 15 show any activity relating to the device? | 19:34 |
| johannes2 | │ [diablo] | 19:35 |
| johannes2 | 20:34:39 Aazoris | command not found is what im getting │ [fade] | 19:35 |
| Appl6 | Cynthia: I'm not sure how an application reliant upon X would be unaffected by X stopping completely. | 19:36 |
| claude23 | ok so I exctracted the persistant, and now what do I do? | 19:36 |
| alexs | Is there a way to install ubuntu to a new drive from an existing linux or windows install? | 19:37 |
| VirusTB | how do i delet a directory in terminal | 19:37 |
| MPX | Well | 19:37 |
| alexs | VirusTB: man rm | 19:37 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: rm -r /path/to/folder | 19:37 |
| blathat | I don't know if what dmesg | tail -n 15 returned is 'activity', what is it | 19:37 |
| MPX | I killed Xorg, did syreq R, tried ctrl + alt + f1...nothing worked | 19:37 |
| Cynthia | VirusTB: 'rm -r DIRNAME' - this deletes contents recursively | 19:37 |
| MPX | Syreq K worked though... | 19:38 |
| MPX | But where to go from there? | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | blathat: if you use a pastebin we can see the output | 19:38 |
| uxbridge | Alexs:google WUBI | 19:38 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, Cynthia alexs thanks! :D | 19:38 |
| MPX | Syreq K corrupted my whole screen and I could hear the sound output dissapearing through a Pop | 19:38 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, Cynthia alexs .. i can just add "sudo" infront to get full permission right? | 19:38 |
| ActionParsnip | VirusTB: if the folder is not your users then sudo will be needed | 19:38 |
| Nilos | need help configuring my wireless connection | 19:38 |
| MPX | But typing anything into blindness (sudo restart gdm, following password, sudo restart, etc. did not work) | 19:39 |
| Vigo | alexs: You mean like move a hda/sda to another Physical Drive? | 19:39 |
| Cynthia | MPX: If you can then access virtual terminal 1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1, log into it and issue 'sudo restart gdm && sudo restart pulseaudio' - you might have a lot of services stopped, actually | 19:39 |
| Appl6 | MPX: What do you mean "nothing worked"? And why are you trashing your system with Sysrq? | 19:39 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep product | 19:39 |
| zorzar | hey i just tried to upgrade a server from 8.04 to 10.04, now i can't connect to it via ssh, it hung on "Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera" after removing unneeded packages and than the server reset the connection | 19:39 |
| VirusTB | ActionParsnip, is there a way to like unlock the permissions?? .. so then i can just use GUI (right click send to trash) folders? | 19:39 |
| Cynthia | MPX: Oh... blindness? :| You mean you still can't see a terminal? | 19:39 |

| claude23 | Ok. I have the Persistant folder.. What do i do Next? | 19:42 |
| ActionParsnip | blathat: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdc sounds like the data is a bit screwy. Have you been saftely removing this from systems or just ripping it out? | 19:42 |

| MPX | Cynthia, another question, Let's say I use backintime to take backup of the entire filesystem on a HDD. How can I restore the backup if Ubuntu decides to totally crash for me and is only accessible through a LIVE cd. And another one....Is there an easier way to take backup of the entire System? | 19:43 |
| Cynthia | 14:41:32 VirusTB How do i get to automatically mount a partition as soon as i logon <-- If I take your question at face value, you want to add an item to Startup Applications (in System / Preferences) to run the 'mount' utility. But as ActionParsnip said, !fstab | 19:43 |
| blathat | is the stick garbage? | 19:43 |
| blathat | at this point | 19:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: so if you run: sudo iwlist scan it shows SSIDs? | 19:43 |
| Cynthia | hm, let's try something | 19:44 |
| Cynthia | !backup | MPX | 19:44 |
| ubottu | MPX: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 19:44 |
| hey_joe | where can i stick those lines so it works after boot? i tried /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf ... added alias eth0 e100; options e100 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1 >> but that didn't work. | 19:44 |
| Cynthia | didn't know if ubottu had a factoid for !backup ^_^ | 19:44 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip, :yes it shows SSIDs for all my connections(including the wireless) | 19:44 |
| VirusTB | Cynthia, :S i dont want to mess with that fstab file, looks confusing, let me read up on it/// | 19:45 |
| Vigo | Cynthia: Are you making a USB/Flash drive Full Install? | 19:45 |

| claude23 | Anyone | 19:46 |
| diffrant | ah good news :) i can use some of that | 19:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: if your wireless interface is not wlan0 then you will need to tell wicd to use the different name | 19:46 |
| blathat | is this memory stick salvagable or have i ruined it? | 19:46 |
| MPX | Clonezilla sounds nice :) | 19:47 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip, :it is wlan0 | 19:47 |
| claude23 | forget it | 19:47 |

| ActionParsnip | Nilos: cool, ok and is wicd configured to look at wlan0 | 19:47 |

| mariya | GeekSquid, I am talking there about gnome main menu! | 19:53 |

| glphvgacs | how big /tmp needs to be? also does it matter where it sits on the device? | 19:53 |
| MPX | mariya, right click on the gnome menu, select edit menu's and scroll down until you find Wine | 19:53 |
| Cynthia | glphvgacs: /tmp/ needs to be at least as large as the largest file you'll need to store in it. If you do DVD authoring, that means it'll need to be at least 9.5 GB. It doesn't matter where it is. | 19:54 |
| GeekSquid | mariya: you are talking about the wine main menu within the gnome main menu... Now the gnome main menu can be edited by going to System>Preferences>MainMenu | 19:54 |

| Ernz | Appl6: True. | 19:59 |
| Leftmost | On Lucid, I've done `update-rc.d -f gdm remove'. It says that it's removed it from all of the /etc/rc?.d directories, but gdm still starts on boot. Why? | 19:59 |

| ActionParsnip | euthymos: not sure, you'll have to dig around, it the connection autoconnects when you launch an app from the menu then add that in the items | 20:06 |
| ActionParsnip | nhak: what app is it? | 20:06 |
| === maciek_ is now known as Guest9414 | ||
| NinoScript | alexs, what do you mean? | 20:06 |
| Cynthia | nhak: Which shared library is not found? I see a lot of results on Google for your error, and each is for a different program | 20:07 |
| nhak | it's my own program | 20:07 |
| GeekSquid | !gksudo | nhak | 20:07 |
| ubottu | nhak: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 20:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nhak: if its an x based app use gksudo | 20:07 |

| alexs | I do not have any USB keys or CD-Rs | 20:07 |

| mike233yo718 | hello | 20:08 |
| euthymos | it's so annoying there is not a simple "connect at boot" :( | 20:08 |
| Cynthia | Acrobat, Flash, or something else. | 20:08 |
| NinoScript | alexs, Just put the install CD, and in the step where it asks about partitions, there should be an option, I think | 20:08 |
| euthymos | why is everything so difficult and time consuming? | 20:08 |
| mike233yo718 | can please anyone help me with managing services in ubuntu 10.04? | 20:08 |
| euthymos | thank you however | 20:08 |
| nhak | I have also changed the .bashrc in /root/ in include the paths of the libraries but it still does not work ... | 20:08 |

| NinoScript | alexs, Ohh, you installed Ubuntu through Wubi? | 20:09 |
| alexs | NinoScript: yes | 20:09 |
| nhak | ActionParsnip, i have also changed the .bashrc in /root/ to include the paths of the libraries but it still does not work ... | 20:09 |
| alexs | i want a fresh install on a new HD | 20:09 |
| alexs | but i cant use any external media | 20:09 |
| NinoScript | alexs, well, I think you should burn that image | 20:10 |
| alexs | NinoScript: I cant! | 20:10 |
| NinoScript | alexs, why? :O | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | nhak: you will have to analyse what you r app uses and stuff then compare those requisites in your users config then check out roots | 20:10 |
| alexs | no CDs! | 20:10 |
| Appl6 | nhak: If you know the libraries you need, check their permissions and owners. They should be world readable and world executable. | 20:10 |
| Glacer | whats another good software like gdesklet I can't get gdesklet to work on 10.04 | 20:10 |
| alexs | going to try using vmware player | 20:10 |
| mike233yo718 | can anyone tell me how do i manage services in ubuntu 10.04? | 20:11 |
| Cynthia | nhak: Oh, that's your problem then. Sudo doesn't really start making you 'root'; thus, /root/.bashrc is not read. You need to either BE root, or edit your own user's .bashrc file to include that in your path | 20:11 |
| hmw | when I shutdown, i get asked for the password, because another user would be logged in, which is not the case. How can I track down this problem? | 20:11 |
| euthymos | everyone should vote for this: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/10025/ | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nice gratitude from kernix eh :( I hate people like that | 20:11 |
| euthymos | it's just common sense | 20:11 |
| NinoScript | alexs, ohh :P Well, there is a way to move your wubi virtual partition to a real one… let me search it for you | 20:12 |
| alexs | LVPM | 20:12 |
| Leftmost | Hmm. Thanks, thedude42. I take it there's no CLI tool for it? Just have to mess with /etc/init? | 20:12 |
| nhak | Cynthia, those libraries are also included in my .bashrc file, as i said before, it works with the normal user | 20:12 |
| alexs | i will resort to that if vmware doesnt work :) | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | euthymos: voted. I dont use vpn but it makes sense | 20:12 |
| euthymos | thank you | 20:12 |
| alexs | i would have thought Wubi could do it alone | 20:12 |
| alexs | since the LiveCD can | 20:12 |
| nhak | AcntionParsnip, i just wonder, what is the paths that it will look for when i execute the app with sudo ? | 20:12 |
| Cynthia | nhak: Ah, my idea of your problem was that 'root' couldn't run the program and your own user will :( | 20:13 |
| Ernz | Im trying to use a Lucid live cd, after the first splash the screen goes all garbled and cropped. It boots into the desktop but it's still all garbled. How do I run the live cd in low graphics mode? | 20:13 |
| alexs | Ernz: there is a safe mode option no? | 20:13 |
| bodom | Hi folds. MySQL doesn't start. Can anybody help me? | 20:13 |
| lonejack | I saw that on synaptic it's possible to find chromium... what's the difference from google chrome and chromium? | 20:14 |
| Cynthia | ernz: safe graphics mode - Press a key when the "Keyboard = Human" screen appears, and then press F6 | 20:14 |
| bodom | *folks :p | 20:14 |
| yariv | Ernz: What kind of hardware are you trying to run it on? | 20:14 |
| iceroot | bodom: the error message can help you and us | 20:14 |
| nhak | Cynthia, yeah, i can run the app with my own user, but with root it does not work | 20:14 |
| thedude42 | Leftmost, no CLI that I have seen, but I'm sure something is in the works.... you can comment out the stanza that says 'start on' to prevent one of the services from starting automatically | 20:14 |
| bodom | iceroot: I have no error messages. start mysql just hangs infinitely | 20:14 |
| iceroot | bodom: also the log and starting mysql in verbose/debug mode | 20:14 |
| Leftmost | Ahh. That's simpler than I was going to do it, heh. Thank you. | 20:14 |
| iceroot | bodom: type "mysql --help" to see the parameter for debug/verbose and use it, normaly mysql -v | 20:15 |
| bodom | iceroot: manually starting mysql with sudo -u mysql mysql -d works instead | 20:15 |
| === zac is now known as Guest86627 | ||
| Guest86627 | Hey is there a way to kill the gui when you boot up ubuntu? Like the desktop | 20:15 |
| NinoScript | alexs, I think wubi is for installing ubuntu inside windows as a virtual file, so it's normal that it doesn't have an option for a full install outside windows | 20:15 |
| Ernz | All: I am trying to run it on Nvidia chipset. No problem with many other ubuntu live CD's. I press F6 at the menu and I see acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, edd=on, nosmraid, nomodreset and Free Software Only | 20:15 |
| Guest86627 | I forget the command to list processes | 20:15 |
| Ernz | All: No "Safe Mode"? | 20:15 |
| nhak | Cynthia, i dont know, where should i specify the paths for the libs when i run the app as root ... it seems that it will not work with .bashrc in /root/ | 20:15 |
| iceroot | Guest86627: ps | 20:15 |
| phillyj | anyone know what Error 1 pertains to? e.g. make: *** [makelist] Error 1 | 20:15 |
| NinoScript | alexs, and yes, LVPM should probably do the job of moving your Wubi install to the other disk | 20:16 |

| cfedde | Guest86627: it seems a little odd to need a root gui session. But just because I'm not creative enough to come up with a need does not mean there is no such need. | 20:29 |
| noric | I am running ubuntu 8.04 on my dell mini 9 netbook, and would like to upgrade to 10.04. I have tried "update-manager --devel-release" and similar actions, but I cannot get 8.04 to recognize the available 10.04 upgrade. I believe this is a problem with my software sources. Thanks. | 20:29 |
| dasc | Docteh: even with the correct username/password, my windows box isn't able to browse my linux shared files until I setup samba with 1) right click sharing options on folder 2) terminal to do smbpasswd | 20:29 |
| Docteh | etale: for usb I'd go with grub or extlinux | 20:29 |
| dlublink | Can I install raid using the 10.04lts live cd or must I use alternate É | 20:29 |
| Sam_Fisher | FriedrichMan, create a new account from the beginning. | 20:30 |
| Guest86627 | Cfedde I'm not used to ubuntus networking and I couldn't do it via a terminal even withthe docs | 20:30 |
| Cynthia | FriedrichMan: once you're done downloading all your mail, send delete commands to the mail server and export your mails to files on your computer :) | 20:30 |
| Sam_Fisher | FriedrichMan, perhaps you missed a step or typed the wrong thing | 20:30 |
| FriedrichMan | Sam_Fisher: it's the master password so I cannot do anything in here. | 20:30 |
| Docteh | dasc: it should remember the password, i cant speak for gui tools though | 20:30 |
| Sam_Fisher | Cynthia, I'm helping him! Go get your own | 20:30 |
| Sam_Fisher | Cynthia, just kidding | 20:30 |
| Cynthia | I can still add to what you're saying, if I have tips to give :P | 20:31 |
| dasc | Docteh: hmmmmmmmm oh well, will have to stick with this for the time being until I format my pc | 20:31 |

| jungli_ | how to do ssh to virtual server | 20:31 |
| FriedrichMan | Cynthia: What? should I get in the thunderbird folder (wherever it is) and save it somewhere else... reinstall the whole thing and...do...something? | 20:31 |
| jungli_ | i install redhat on ubuntu via vbox | 20:31 |
| Sam_Fisher | FriedrichMan, Cynthia is correct. I used Tbird to backup my Gmail accounts to DVD. Now I can look back on what a fool I was when I was younger. | 20:31 |
| oCean_ | jungli_: as soon as the virtualserver has ip-address you can ssh into the virtual machine | 20:31 |
| alexises | people here are the use a mx revollution keyboard | 20:31 |
| Cynthia | jungli_: same as a real server; you just have to find what IP address it was allocated | 20:31 |
| alexises | and mouse kit ? | 20:32 |
| Cynthia | FriedrichMan: The option should be in File/Export | 20:32 |
| jungli_ | is ip is 10.xx some thing :P | 20:32 |
| Docteh | alexises: that sounds like regular boring hardware | 20:32 |
| jungli_ | but mine is 192.168 xx | 20:32 |
| Cynthia | My step is optional though, it's just if you want to avoid downloading all your mail in future | 20:32 |

| hmw | FriedrichMan: did you rule out such simple things as CAPS LOCK or another keyboard layout? | 20:37 |
| Sam_Fisher | FriedrichMan, so you had tbird working then somewher in tbird found a master password option? | 20:37 |
| alexises | the problem is that bluez input module look like configurade to autoconfigure my keyboard | 20:37 |
| Docteh | sevenseeker: whats the error you get when nothing boots? | 20:37 |
| alexises | and the bluez wiki is down :( | 20:37 |
| Cynthia | FriedrichMan: The Master Password is there so you can save your mail passwords. You still need to enter your mail password in the Password Manager, but when Tbird asks you for your "password" to check your mail, if you have it saved, it's going to be the Master Password, not any mail password. Your mail server is not going to know about your Master Password. | 20:37 |

| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 20:39 |

| VirusTB | im guestting i need to install "libgtk-x11-2.0.so " Cynthia Aciid | 20:40 |
| hmw | Cynthia: btw. if you mount your drive via fstab, its owned by root, thus the user cant umount it in Gnome | 20:40 |
| hmw | Cynthia: perhaps one can do something about that, i guess | 20:40 |
| Cynthia | hmw: I'm not sure *when* blathat wants the drive to be mounted, so we could be both wrong :( | 20:40 |

| hmw | blathat: in this case, look into fstab, you just need a line there and the file system will be mounted automatically, even before the GUI starts | 20:42 |

| hmw | rocket16: afaik, ufw is just the frontend for netfilter (or what it is called these days) - sudo iptables -L will list all current firewall rules. if it looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/436360/ your firewall is fully open | 20:55 |
| Cynthia | noric: I have no idea :( | 20:55 |
| rocket16 | Friends, for a Laptop running Ubuntu, is there any need for a Firewall running all the time? | 20:55 |

| toader | Hi, i am using logical volumn under Fedora, I want to install ubuntu. Is the logical volumn disk still reusable? thanks | 20:55 |
| Guest86627 | Guntbert answer this then, is the networking feature different on root than nonroot? | 20:55 |
| Cynthia | noric: the keys are in the ubuntu-keyring package, you might have to update that first | 20:56 |
| Docteh | rocket16: firewall concept is different on windows vs linux | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | rocket16: hrm, Ubuntu doesn't tend to use LVM, however as far as I know it can use LVM | 20:56 |
| sebsebseb | !lvm | rocket16 | 20:56 |
| ubottu | rocket16: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 20:56 |

| JoshuaL | whenever i plug in a external speaker set at my laptop i have to manually change the output connector via sound preferences, how can i solve this so it does it automaticly like it should be> | 20:57 |
| sebsebseb | toader: ok messaged compeltly the wrong person there, see above :) | 20:57 |
| rocket16 | sebsebseb: No problem, :) | 20:57 |
| hmw | rocket16: the NetFilter (or how it is called today) is a kernel module, it extends the TCP stack, so it is always "running" | 20:57 |
| Guest86627 | Guntbert it was merely a question, I'm sure you know the answer just because it isn't supported doesn't mean you can't give a pointer for me to follow | 20:57 |
| Guest86627 | Is there a program for ubuntu similar to powerpill for archlinux where it pipelines downloads? | 20:58 |
| Docteh | Sam_Fisher: i dont think thats commonly done, you might have to try google, which file manager are you using, konqeror nautilus or thunar? | 20:58 |
| yoritomo | hello all | 20:58 |
| rocket16 | hmw and Docteh: Thanks. I hope there is no need for another GUI firewall then, | 20:58 |
| rocket16 | !hi | yoritomo | 20:58 |
| ubottu | yoritomo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 20:58 |
| yoritomo | where to find the deb libares-gift for lucid ? | 20:59 |
| toader | sebsebseb: what | 20:59 |
| guntbert | Guest86627: by starting X as root you probably messed with several permissions, changed your system in a not easy to see way - so I cannot guess what is wrong | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | toader: I sent a message to someone else instead of you basically saying that Ubuntu doesn't tend to use LVM, but I think that it can. | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | toader: then I did the lvm factoid | 20:59 |
| sebsebseb | !lvm | toader | 21:00 |
| ubottu | toader: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 21:00 |
| hmw | rocket16: a nice GUI for the firewall (nb how i phrased it) is FireStarter. You should not need a special configuration for your firewall, if you are behind a router. You should consider using a firewall, if your PC is acting as a router or internet connection sharing box, or if you have to suspect, that certain services may be available to neighbour computers, and you dont want that. | 21:00 |
| reenignEesreveR | facebook.com has been banned in my country. I have ubuntu based servers in US. Could I install a piece of software (tunnel, proxy, anything) so that whenever i access facebook.com, i gets routed via a tunneled connection through my server transparently, otherwise all traffic goes through normal route | 21:00 |
| Daniel2 | hey | 21:00 |
| Docteh | redhats automatic use of lvm is annoying | 21:00 |
| Guest86627 | Guntbert your correct, I made the foolish mistake of running xinit via vnc and now I have to reinstall gnome because nobody here knows how to fix it | 21:00 |
| rocket16 | hmw: Ah, really my thanks for the info. :) I will do that. | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | Daniel2: oh? | 21:01 |
| hmw | Guest86627: you get what you paid for | 21:01 |
| Daniel2 | I have a question with changing from xp to unbuntu | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | Daniel2: not you | 21:01 |

| sebsebseb | Docteh: oh? | 21:01 |
| hmw | !ask | Daniel2 | 21:01 |
| ubottu | Daniel2: 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. :-) | 21:01 |
| chkdsk | If I dual boot Ubuntu/Windows XP using Wubi, will there be performance issues on XP? | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | silly autocomplete at times! | 21:01 |
| Sam_Fisher | chkdsk, nope | 21:01 |
| Docteh | reenignEesreveR: ssh/openvpn + squid | 21:01 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: no, but if you use Wubi, there will be performance issues on Ubuntu, you may not notice them though | 21:02 |
| toader | Hi, how to install ubuntu from ISO on disk, not CD. thanks | 21:02 |
| Sam_Fisher | chkdsk, can't you just commit to the real power in this Universe **UBUNTU** | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: that's one reason why it's better to use a proper partitioend install instead :) | 21:02 |
| kimus | hi, who is responsible for the lists.ubuntu.com? i'm from a locoteam and I need to to fix a problem | 21:02 |
| Guest86627 | Hmw indeed, lesson learned but as I was saying,is there anything similar to powerpill? | 21:02 |
| Daniel2 | How would I know if my computer is compatitable with ubuntu? | 21:02 |
| Docteh | reenignEesreveR: if you've got apache doing https that might also be a solution, just make sure your servers getting banned from where you are isn't a big deal ;) | 21:02 |
| chkdsk | A partitioned install requires I commit to the install | 21:02 |
| Slart | !usb | toader | 21:02 |
| ubottu | toader: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 21:02 |
| guntbert | Guest86627: without an enabled root account that probably wouldn't have happened -- I feel with you but have no help to offer -- sorry | 21:02 |
| hmw | toader: i think you cant, you need to burn that iso. If you are a uber-geek you might do some weird chroot stuff, but in this case you wouldnt be asking here ;-) | 21:02 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: yes and most people don't want to just get rid of Ubuntu either, once they have tried it | 21:03 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: in fact many will want to get rid of Windows once trying it | 21:03 |
| hmw | toader: the USB thumb drive is a nice option, of course | 21:03 |
| Slart | toader: it might also be possible to do some weird things with grub2.. I think it can mount an iso.. but if you ask me it's not worth the trouble | 21:03 |
| wildbat | Daniel2, try the Live CD Session | 21:03 |
| Roasted | Does anybody know if WICD can share internet connections? | 21:03 |
| Docteh | sebsebseb: I've been playing with linux over iscsi recently, with ubuntu i can mount the image on my fileserver if I need/want to, with an LVM its a bit more complicated | 21:03 |
| hmw | Guest86627: i wish i could help you :( | 21:03 |
| Daniel2 | okay | 21:03 |
| hmw | Roasted: wicd can share them | 21:03 |
| Guest86627 | Guntbert the same would have happened with sudo, can you take a guess that if I reinstall gnome it would fix the permissions or is it most likely down to x11 | 21:04 |
| Roasted | hmw, so I can have WICd on a desktop and share a connection to another desktop? | 21:04 |
| chkdsk | sebsebseb: I've been using Ubuntu for a few days and if I was forced to make the choice, windows would win outright. I'm a gamer :P | 21:04 |
| Docteh | Roasted: wicd sounds like a gui app, is there an option in there for it? probe around. if not do it outside of wicd | 21:04 |
| reenignEesreveR | Docteh, how would ssh+openvpn do that? i wanna do it for a particular site | 21:04 |
| sebsebseb | Docteh: iscsi sounds familur, but whats that? | 21:04 |
| Daniel2 | Could you provide me with a link please | 21:04 |
| Roasted | chkdsk, I'm a hardcore gamer. And a hardcore Ubuntu'r. | 21:04 |
| brontosaurusrex | reenignEesreveR: google for 'squid' | 21:04 |
| Daniel2 | I have a problem finding things. | 21:04 |
| Roasted | chkdsk, some users turn on an xbox and change the channel to game. I reboot to windoze. Windows has no relevance in my life beyond that. | 21:04 |
| reenignEesreveR | brontosaurusrex, what client would i use with squid? | 21:04 |
| guntbert | Guest86627: sorry -- never happened to me -- so I never tried - so no idea | 21:04 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: this idea that Ubuntu or other Linux distros sucks for gaming, isn't really true | 21:04 |
| Docteh | reenignEesreveR: well for a particular site ie facebook you'd have to set that in the browser | 21:04 |
| hmw | Roasted: right, but i havent used wicd in a while, so i cant tell you exactly where to click. should be quite obvious, though. Perhaps a web search will help you. | 21:04 |
| wildbat | !dowbload | Daniel2 | 21:05 |
| Roasted | chkdsk, once Steam goes full bore (I hope) and games come simultaneously to steam platforms across win/pc/linux (I hope) I wont use windows anymore. | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: since there are quite a lot of good native games, plus it is possible to have a lot of Windows games working well in Wine | 21:05 |
| Guest86627 | Is there a program for ubuntu similar to powerpill for archlinux where it pipelines downloads? | 21:05 |
| Roasted | hmw, I was just curious if it had the capability. | 21:05 |
| brontosaurusrex | reenignEesreveR: browser, ftp and some i imagine | 21:05 |
| wildbat | !download | Daniel2 | 21:05 |
| ubottu | Daniel2: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Lucid, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 21:05 |
| hmw | Roasted: i did it with wicd once | 21:05 |
| donavan01 | is there a linux replacement for peerblock/peergaurdian | 21:05 |
| chkdsk | Most of the games I play are windows only. I am not going to use Wine just to play the games when they actually perform nicer in actual Windows | 21:05 |
| Roasted | hmw, do you know if you can tether a smartphone to a laptop w/ wicd and give it connection? Is that different than standard ICS? | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | !games | chkdsk | 21:05 |
| ubottu | chkdsk: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 21:05 |
| Poseidon_99 | pidgin crashes ! with facebook plugin | 21:05 |
| Docteh | reenignEesreveR: squid is a proxy server, you'd use a web browser with it, you could use one browser force facebook and another browser for regular stuffs | 21:05 |
| Daniel2 | okay | 21:05 |
| hmw | Roasted: i dont know, i assume it is different | 21:05 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: also apparnatly its better to play games on a console than on a PC | 21:06 |
| reenignEesreveR | brontosaurusrex, if i put squid as my proxy server in my browser, then all the sites will be browsed via the proxy... i just want one site to pass through proxy | 21:06 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, highly disagreed. console gaming feels extremely boring compared to PC. Just my opinion. | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: right, but playing games in Windows sucks, since using Windows sucks :D | 21:06 |
| Docteh | sebsebseb: iscsi is scsi disk commands routed over tcp/ip, AoE might make more sense but ubuntu doesn't support it in the installer | 21:06 |
| hmw | ++ Roasted | 21:06 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: ok using Windows can be ok, but not that many exceptions | 21:07 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, I agree. I just use windows as my gaming OS. Besides that, it doesnt see the light of day. | 21:07 |
| Docteh | oh, aoe is ata commands over ethernet, less overhead and no routability | 21:07 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, surprisingly I have quite a few issues for the little I do in windows. However, I AM running Vista. | 21:07 |
| hmw | !ot | nice topic, but | 21:07 |
| ubottu | nice topic, but: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:07 |
| brontosaurusrex | reenignEesreveR: no idea, i would install a second browser just for that if there would be no decent settings for that | 21:07 |
| noric | How does apt-get select my architecture, to set the update path? i.e. hardy-updates/main/binary-lpia -> 404 Not Found. I want to set architecture to i386 or whatever so it works | 21:07 |
| ReformedWinrar | is it possible to have pulseaudio not suck? | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: a lot of games will work in a WIndows virtual machine also | 21:07 |
| hmw | ReformedWinrar: almost impossible | 21:07 |
| Docteh | ReformedWinrar: not really | 21:07 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: ok 3D gaming is a bit hrm at the moment, but that's getting there, and depending on your hardware, that may work well now | 21:07 |
| ReformedWinrar | its constantly making randome noises on my stereo and scaring the crap out of me at 3am | 21:07 |
| ReformedWinrar | bummer | 21:08 |
| chkdsk | Why virtual machine windows, when I can actually run windows? | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: most or all 2D games for Windows though, I expect will work well in a Windows virtual machine | 21:08 |
| guntbert | sebsebseb: mind the topic please | 21:08 |
| reenignEesreveR | brontosaurusrex, actually i have a few scripts as well ... they'll also need to be recoded ... i wanna make it as transparent as possible | 21:08 |
| noric | How does apt-get select my architecture, to set the update path? i.e. hardy-updates/main/binary-lpia -> 404 Not Found. I want to set architecture to i386 or whatever so it works | 21:08 |
| Docteh | ReformedWinrar: shut it down and try and live without it running? :-/ | 21:08 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: so dual boot with Windows if you want, and use that for gaming, and a Linux distro, for actsaul computing? | 21:08 |
| ReformedWinrar | Docteh: it works just like esd? so i can be fine without it? | 21:08 |
| chkdsk | Also, openoffice doesn't really compare to Word 2007 | 21:08 |
| hmw | chkdsk: because you might actually work on a real OS while being forced to use that single windows app. Or your'e a web designer using a bazillion different browsers | 21:08 |
| Guest86627 | Does ubuntu have something similar to system restore for windows where it restores everything to a previous date | 21:08 |
| ReformedWinrar | chkdsk: for all the features that matters, they are comparable | 21:09 |
| Docteh | ReformedWinrar: aye, might have programs not able to get sound card though | 21:09 |
| wildbat | !backup | Guest86627 | 21:09 |
| ubottu | Guest86627: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:09 |
| ReformedWinrar | Docteh: thanks | 21:09 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: no, but maybe the next version of Ubuntu, or if not probably the one after that, it seems that it will have something even better by default. However yeah got to wait six months to a year or something like that first. | 21:10 |
| nostriluu | hi #ubuntu.. trying to install 10.04 server on a dell poweredge r300 (SAS drives).. install seemed to go ok but it boots to grub error.. thoughts ? | 21:10 |
| Ernz | How can I paginate the output of the terminal? | 21:10 |
| hmw | Guest86627: i dont think it has that built in. I recommend you make at least 2 partitions, one for the root file system ("/") and one for "/home". Then you can use a USB thumb drive with Ubuntu and partimage (or the CloneZilla Boot CD) to back up the partitions. | 21:10 |
| Ernz | To stop it from scrolling everything | 21:10 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: normally you woudnt need to do a system restore though, like Windows | 21:10 |
| ReformedWinrar | Docteh: could i replace it with jackd, or does that solve a different problem? | 21:10 |
| Docteh | Ernz: less long/file or ls -lR | less | 21:10 |
| Docteh | !less | 21:10 |
| Ernz | Docteh, beautiful, thanks | 21:11 |
| guntbert | Ernz: try <your command> | less --- type 'q' to quit that viewer | 21:11 |
| compaq | what the heck, anyone install librfxswf-dev? I can't figure it out, I don't have any of those programs on the shell | 21:11 |
| hmw | Guest86627: btw, you can use that partimage/ubuntu thumb drive to create an image of your windows partition, too. I couldnt live without that | 21:11 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: Whats gone wrong anyway? | 21:11 |
| Ernz | gunbert: that's got it, thanks | 21:11 |

| sebsebseb | Guest86627: hmv? | 21:14 |
| guntbert | rn86: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat | 21:14 |
| hmw | exalt: most people wont need it. If you are geeky, and want to use the console, you can utilize the frame buffer for displaying video or even compile firefox to run without any GUI in fbmode | 21:14 |

| ioi2010 | i'm creating my own distro | 21:15 |
| ioi2010 | using remastersys | 21:15 |
| hmw | !ask | ioi2010 | 21:15 |
| ubottu | ioi2010: 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. :-) | 21:15 |
| Docteh | ioi2010: you have punctuation on your keyboard fyi ;) | 21:15 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: yeah xorg is important, you don't want to mess with that, unless you really have to, why were you? | 21:15 |
| Guest86627 | Sebsebseb if I upgrade to lucid would it reinstall all the preinstalled stuff? | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: which version were you on? | 21:16 |
| ioi2010 | how can i change the default wallpaper | 21:16 |
| ioi2010 | so that the live cd will use the new one | 21:16 |
| ioi2010 | ??? | 21:16 |
| Guest86627 | Sebsebseb permissions problem I ran xinit as root through vnc, and karmic | 21:16 |
| hmw | ioi2010: /usr/share/backgrounds | 21:16 |
| Slart | ioi2010: it's probably a setting somewhere in the gnome config registry | 21:16 |
| Cynthia | ioi2010: please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 21:16 |
| Docteh | ioi2010: just replace the file, or search around for where its referenced and change the reference | 21:16 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: yes if you got ubuntu-desktop installed, and then upgrade to Lucid, it might re install the other stuff whilst doing so | 21:16 |
| Slart | ioi2010: if you're lazy I think it might be easiest to just replace the file | 21:16 |
| ioi2010 | right | 21:16 |
| Cynthia | Specifically, Custom Background for GNOME section | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | so the problem seems to be | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | that remastersys erases /home | 21:17 |
| Guest86627 | Sebsebseb are you sure it will? | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: I said might | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | so... | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | i think i need something more | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | than simply | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: also maybe if you install kubuntu-desktop for example, it will install other stuff and KDE | 21:17 |
| exalt | hmw: i want to be that geeky :p but what do i need to install so links2 will display? | 21:17 |
| Cynthia | !enter | ioi2010 | 21:17 |
| ubottu | ioi2010: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:17 |
| hmw | Guest86627: it will _try_ that is certain. I do not recommend upgrading, installing freshly is always more safe | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | srry | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: then you could purekde, and then do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or something I guess | 21:17 |
| ioi2010 | i'm new in this | 21:17 |
| sebsebseb | !purekde | Guest86627 | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Guest86627: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: uh puregnome I mean, I am just guessing here though | 21:18 |
| Vbitz | so far my hp mini 210 is working out of the box with ubuntu | 21:18 |
| hmw | exalt: you will not have to install anything, i suppose, since you are forced into fbmode anyways with ubuntu. You have to pass a parameter to links2 though, in order for it to use the fb | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | !puregnome | Guest86627 | 21:18 |
| ubottu | Guest86627: If you want to remove all !KDE packages, type « sudo apt-get --purge remove kdelibs4c2a kdelibs5-data && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » into a !terminal | 21:18 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: plus probably some other way you can re install xorg and so on anyway | 21:18 |
| chkdsk | I see that on the Linux Gamer's list you've linked me to, there's only 2 MMORPGs | 21:19 |

| hmw | exalt: let me check | 21:19 |
| chkdsk | I was linked to this earlier | 21:19 |
| === spvensko__ is now known as spvensko | ||
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: or just clean install, probably better, since your sysetm got messed up a lot | 21:19 |
| === joelpet is now known as joelpet_ | ||
| ActionParsnip | Guest86627: what version do you consider "new" | 21:20 |
| chkdsk | Okay, so looking at this list, the "linux games" are games ported to linux, and not actually games made for linux. For the most part, anyway. | 21:20 |
| Guest86627 | Actionparsnip, gnome 3 | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: 10.04 uses Gnome 2.30 and that's not Gnome 3 | 21:21 |
| shoto68 | im having an instalation on external hard drive probem can anyone help??? | 21:21 |
| === joelpet_ is now known as joelpet | ||
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: Gnome 3 has been delayed untill September from April. also 10.10 won't be using Gnome Shell by default, so it won't have the new look by default, but you could install that yourself, just like you can install a development version now into 10.04 | 21:21 |
| ActionParsnip | chkdsk: penumbra is coded for Linux and windows, there are many native games on the repos as well as in the getdeb repo | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: under the hood 10.10 will be Gnome 3 though as far as I know | 21:21 |
| colk | I have a L246WP and a Nvidia card connected via a HDMI-DVI cable I am unable to see the left side of the screen I beleive its overscanning because it does it in Windows 7 as well any ideas? | 21:21 |
| alessandro1965 | hi | 21:21 |
| Nilos | I cannot connect to my wireless network with wicd, but I see the connection and the devicde.Also the driver is oinstalled.What am I missing? | 21:21 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: 10.04 uses Gnome 2.30 | 21:22 |
| Guest86627 | Sebsebseb oh alright | 21:22 |
| rocket16 | :) | 21:22 |
| anodesni | :P | 21:22 |
| sebsebseb | Guest86627: oh and Gnome Shell in the repo is old, so you would want a ppa really | 21:22 |
| hmw | exalt: go to console (ctrl-alt-f1) and log on. then issue: sudo links2 -g <some URL> ATTENTION: this just killed my machine! it worked though, but now i cannot go back to GNome!!! | 21:22 |
| sasquatch1 | Hi there, I have an installation issue anyone care to lend a hand? | 21:23 |
| === test is now known as Guest15071 | ||
| anodesni | sasquatch1: go ahead | 21:23 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | sasquatch1 | 21:23 |
| ubottu | sasquatch1: 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. :-) | 21:23 |
| smellynosery | I changed my keyboard layout under System->Preferences->Keyboard, but it's still on the old one. I unticked "Separate layout per window" and I applied it system wide. Does anybody know how to fix that? | 21:23 |
| exalt | hmw: hmmm i need premissions | 21:23 |
| sasquatch1 | well I have windows 7 installed on 1 harddrive and i just installed linux onto my second harddrive and now i'm getting a boot error when trying to load the windows hardrive? | 21:24 |
| chkdsk | The majority of the games I play most of the time, are source games (Portal, TF2, Counter Strike: Source, etc) so Linux is not my choice of platform for gaming. | 21:24 |
| sasquatch1 | i didn't think there would be an issue since they are on separate drives | 21:24 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: could you be more specific about the error? | 21:24 |
| hmw | exalt: that's right | 21:24 |
| rocket16 | :) | 21:24 |
| hmw | exalt: well... it just killed my Karmic, Ubuntu is not really made for Console Geeks | 21:24 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: i cannot boot into windows 7 | 21:24 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: do you have a backup partition for windows 7, or a repair partition | 21:25 |
| sebsebseb | hmw: heh yeah I guess, since other distros are made for those really | 21:25 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: i have the windows install disk and tried to do a repair but did not seem to do the job | 21:25 |
| === Votan is now known as Votan|off | ||
| anodesni | sasquatch1: but, do you have a repair partition? | 21:25 |
| * rocket16 doesn't understand why people still use Windows, other than gaming purposes | 21:25 | |
| chkdsk | I want to be optimistic about games on Ubuntu, but that last time I attempted 3D gaming on Linux my PC locked up completely which wasn't pleasant | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest86627: I suggest you look at: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone/ it won't be out for a long while | 21:25 |
| hmw | exalt: i have to reboot via ssh :( Ubuntu sometimes sucks big time | 21:25 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: no I do not unfortunately. | 21:25 |
| ActionParsnip | rocket16: bespoke applications may only run in a windows environment | 21:26 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: do you get an error message? | 21:26 |
| sebsebseb | rocket16: vender lock in thats why, or having app that won't just work in Wine, that they think they must have, since they can't find or don't know about a good enough native Linux version, or simpally there isn't one | 21:26 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: yes i do, something along the lines of not able to boot and should use repair disk | 21:26 |
| === alexises_ is now known as Guest31698 | ||
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: which is what I tried. | 21:26 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: but Ubuntu boots? then I think grub points to the wrong partition | 21:26 |
| ActionParsnip | rocket16: windows like linux is a tool for a job, if windows does the job better than it should be used, the same applies to mac and bsd also, linux isnt always the answer | 21:27 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: there are quite a few good native Linux 3D games :) | 21:27 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: i thought they would be completely separate since they are on two separate drives | 21:27 |
| exalt | hmw: sad:( | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | chkdsk: look into penumbra and urban terror | 21:27 |
| st3d45h | hi, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and it was working fine, however once i enabled the nvidia driver im stuck a resolution of 800x600. i searched on the internet but couldnt find a solution that worked. could anybody help? | 21:27 |
| rocket16 | ActionParsnip: Ha ha, but it is developing. Anyway, but this might be offtopic, for both of us, :( | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | chkdsk: doom3 also runs natively in linux, as does return to castle wolfenstein | 21:27 |
| hmw | wut?? "Master" in alsamixer has no effect, i have to reduce PCM?? what is going on here? | 21:27 |
| ActionParsnip | rocket16: its fact though ;) | 21:28 |
| chkdsk | I'm not really interested at all in Penumbra. It's a horror game, I like to play online with friends | 21:28 |
| rocket16 | chkdsk: Here is a nice article for you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=427205 | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | chkdsk: urbanterror is multiplayer only :) | 21:28 |
| exalt | using sudo sto surf is dangerous isnt it? | 21:28 |
| sebsebseb | rocket16: noobs tend to be locked into propritary software, and have this idea that gaming sucks on Linux, which isn't true | 21:28 |
| rocket16 | chkdsk: I mean, about best Ubuntu games. | 21:28 |
| sebsebseb | !games | 21:28 |
| rocket16 | sebsebseb: I agree. | 21:28 |
| ubottu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 21:28 |
| ActionParsnip | rocket16: best is an opinion so is never concrete | 21:29 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: maybe you can post your grub config on pastebin? | 21:29 |
| Loshki | exalt: dangerous and unnecessary... | 21:29 |
| === Guest31698 is now known as alexises | ||
| ActionParsnip | exalt: yes its massively foolish to run web browsers as root | 21:29 |
| ioi2010 | thanks everybody | 21:29 |
| sasquatch1 | sure | 21:29 |
| exalt | then how the heck i use framebuffer without being root??:p | 21:29 |
| === alexises is now known as Guest16312 | ||
| chkdsk | In terms of quality, nothing comes close to CS:S/TF2 the two games I play most often. Nothing close to that kind of entertainment runs native on linux as far as I know. I *adore* steam, but nothing like it has appeared on Linux. As far as I know, anyway. | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | exalt: maybe its a group membership | 21:30 |
| nerdy117 | can someone help me with 64 bit flash on ubuntu 10.4? | 21:30 |
| exalt | ActionParsnip: thats what i thought, it uses libvga | 21:30 |
| ActionParsnip | chkdsk: urban terror us like cS | 21:30 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: they have done a Steam for Mac, and I have read that Steam for Linux is coming soon | 21:30 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: to install | 21:30 |
| anodesni | ? | 21:30 |
| chkdsk | According to the steam support pages there's no plans for a linux port at all | 21:30 |
| nerdy117 | I tried installing flashplugin-installer from synaptic package manager, but it tells me I have conflicting packages | 21:30 |
| rocket16 | ActionParsnip: But individual opinion matters little, and universal opinion matters. So, since all important servers and systems are drifting towards Linux, it is definitely better than Windows. :) Also, sorry for being offtopic, to all, but I chose to defend Ubuntu. | 21:30 |
| nerdy117 | doesn't say which ones though | 21:30 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: download the 64 bit version, let me find the link for you | 21:31 |
| nerdy117 | I couldn't find it on adobe's website | 21:31 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: if the support pages mention Linux, they are probably also rather out to date | 21:31 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: I have read quite a lot of recent stuff, that is saying that Steam for Linux is coming | 21:31 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: soon | 21:31 |
| chkdsk | They were updated when steam for mac was released | 21:31 |
| nerdy117 | I got a 32 bit version though, and I installed it with dpkg -i --force-architecture | 21:31 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: also you can run Steam in Wine quite well, as far as I know | 21:31 |
| Nilos | I cannot connect to my wireless network with wicd, but I see the connection and the devicde.Also the device driver is already installed properly.What am I missing? | 21:31 |
| donavan01 | is there a way to get nautilus to show thumbnails or PNG quicker ... I have a large directory with a ton of icons in it and it takes forever to view them everytime I open the folder up | 21:31 |
| nerdy117 | didn't work though | 21:31 |
| anodesni | wait a sec | 21:31 |
| ActionParsnip | rocket16: not if the required apps wil not run on linux, then it is a poor choice, universal opinion is moot. PC stands for personal computer so it should do what the user wants rather than the user changing its needs to fit the most popular OS | 21:31 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: since quite a lot of people do that | 21:31 |
| ubuntu_ | why O why did I choose to encrypt my home directory | 21:31 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html download it here | 21:32 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: http://pastebin.com/ReCZB0zF | 21:32 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip,:Oh man1, you're back.Good | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: thats what I think when users DO encrypt. Not worth it | 21:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: sup | 21:32 |
| rocket16 | ActionParsnip: Here is a PDF written by me (from various online sources), why Linux is better than Windows. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ynygmlzluzw You might want to read it. Also, isn't our discussion going a bit offtopic? | 21:32 |
| chkdsk | You can run Steam in wine, but you'd still be lacking the ability to run the games you get from steam. I've also heard a lot about problems with the overlay, which is a pretty major feature | 21:32 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: make sure 32 bit flash is uninstalled, then unzip the file and move it to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins | 21:32 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: using linux mint btw | 21:32 |
| nerdy117 | I can't uninstall it | 21:32 |
| ubuntu_ | ActionParsnip: are you a guru on ecryptfs by any chance? I want to recover my home after a reinstall... | 21:32 |
| Cube`` | i cant seem to be able to export a latex file to pdf, and i cant install pdflatex for some reason :( | 21:32 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip,:wicd can now see my cowireless network, but I cant connect to it | 21:32 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: huh? | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: if you must use propritary games, and won't use Wine or a Windows virtual machine, fine just use Windows on a pshyical install for that. | 21:32 |
| sebsebseb | chkdsk: for actsaul computing though, Linux distros tend to be better :) | 21:33 |
| nerdy117 | I tried removing it with dpkg | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | ubuntu_: quite the opposite. I dont use it and have seen too many people fall down after using it | 21:33 |
| Seraphinou | ('744404233664 | 21:33 |
| chkdsk | Ehhh, this channel is incredibly patronizing .-. | 21:33 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: why not use synaptic | 21:33 |
| nerdy117 | can't find it though | 21:33 |
| Vbitz | i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a hp mini 210 and after i shut it down it froze and i have about 30 errors with hard drive sectors saying like end_request: I/O error, dev sdb | 21:33 |
| Vbitz | what should i do? | 21:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: do you se any encryption for your connection | 21:33 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: I see grub says your windows partition is on hdd sdc, (note the c, that should be your 3rd hdd) it that correct? | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Vbitz: boot to livecd and fsck your partitions | 21:34 |
| hmw | Vbitz: get a new drive, your's is dying | 21:34 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip , it asked for an encryption so i gave it the key.But it still didnt connect | 21:34 |
| Vbitz | it is brand new, i got it yesterday, this is the live cd | 21:34 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: no, it is on the 2nd hardrive (only have 2) | 21:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: what encryption do you use? | 21:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Vbitz: drives can be DOA | 21:35 |
| Cube`` | why does pdflatex not work!?!? | 21:35 |
| hmw | Vbitz: if you see I/O errors it is very much likely, that the drive is badly damaged. Try to get your data off the drive and return it | 21:35 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: ok, maybe, I'm not sure you should change "set root='(hd2,1)'" to "set root='(hd1,1)'" | 21:35 |
| Vbitz | there is no data on the drive, windows worked fine, no problems | 21:36 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: that would make more sense, given that windows7 is on your 2nd hdd and 1st partition | 21:36 |
| donavan01 | Vbitz I would try downloading a new image of the cd and see if it does it on the new disc ... try reinstalling ... if you get the same errors again then it probably is hardware | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Vbitz: check the drive health | 21:36 |
| sasquatch1 | ok, ill give it a shot thanks. though when i choose to run windows it seems to go to the correct drive, just seems to be a problem with the windows bootloader. | 21:36 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip , what types are there? | 21:36 |
| vlt | Hello. In my IM client a buddy appears as "online (invisible)". How is that possible?! I mean, isn't "invisible" supposed to make him invisible? | 21:36 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: than this is not the problem | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Vbitz: you can also download the ultimate boot cd and test the drive using the manufacturers tool to make sure its ok | 21:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: WEP and WPA | 21:37 |
| hmw | Vbitz: try to restore the filesystem with fsck; do not trust the drive (!!); perhaps another component is damaged, as the controller, but not likely; check temperature of your components, cpu & drive. | 21:37 |
| exalt | ActionParsnip: chown <user> /dev/fb0 :P | 21:37 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: did you install windows after linux, and then installed another linux again? | 21:37 |
| fox | vlt what protocol is your friend using. | 21:37 |
| Vbitz | i just pressed enter and it booted filne | 21:37 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: ok thats what I thought. I think i'll try running the windwos repair disc again | 21:37 |
| vlt | fox: We both use icq/aim | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | exalt: does that work? | 21:37 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: installed windows on 1 hardrive and then installed linux onto the 2nd harddrive | 21:37 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip , I use wep and thats what I set it as. | 21:37 |
| exalt | ActionParsnip: yes | 21:37 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: the windows repair disk worked for me when I had similar problems | 21:37 |
| ninjafusion | i've got a dumb question. does ubuntu 10.4 have a built in firewall somewhere that i'm not seeing? | 21:37 |
| ActionParsnip | exalt: that will also need sudo | 21:37 |
| fox | vlt: are you on his visible list? | 21:38 |
| Vbitz | would it help if i said i did a usb install | 21:38 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: you must type in some commandos on the command line, you should google for it | 21:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Nilos: cool, should be ok then. Is your system fully updated? | 21:38 |
| Cynthia | ninjafusion: it's ufw, a frontend to the iptables utility | 21:38 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: ok thanks, i'll give it another go. Ok will look for it thanks. | 21:38 |
| ninjafusion | thanks Cynthia. i'll google and see what i can find | 21:38 |
| vlt | fox: There's a "visible" list? Then maybe yes ... | 21:38 |
| Cynthia | let's see first if ubottu has a factoid for that | 21:38 |
| fox | vlt: i haven't used icq in quite some time, but i do recall a feature that permitted you to show buddies you were online, even if you were invisible. | 21:38 |
| Cynthia | !ufw | 21:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 21:38 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: maybe this bootrec.ece/fixmbr | 21:38 |
| anodesni | bootrec.exe/fixboot | 21:38 |
| donavan01 | vbitz ... did you install it to the USB or from the USB? | 21:38 |
| nerdy117 | oh lawdy. it works | 21:38 |
| hmw | Vbitz: hard disks have their own mini-operating system built in. They also have quite a large area of spare sectors, that can replace damaged sectors. They should never report bad sectors to the OS (which would mean, they consumed all spare sectors already). If I am getting I/O errors on a HDD, i immediately shut down and replace it without question | 21:39 |
| sasquatch1 | anodesni: thanks. | 21:39 |
| nerdy117 | thanks anodesni | 21:39 |
| anodesni | sasquatch1: or "Use easyBCD and you can recreate your boot record." | 21:39 |
| ink | Where is the syntax of the files in /etc/init/ defined? (eg, gdm.conf) | 21:39 |
| nerdy117 | you're a true bro | 21:39 |
| ninjafusion | thanks again Cynthia | 21:39 |
| fox | vlt: if that's the case, that might be why he's showing up but yet designated as invisible. | 21:39 |
| anodesni | nerdy117: nice | 21:39 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip , upgrading to lucid now | 21:39 |
| vlt | fox: I understand. Thank you. | 21:39 |

| Vbitz | how would i check if it is mounted | 21:40 |
| ink | hmw: no, they aren't just bash scripts | 21:40 |
| ink | bash has no "description" reserved name | 21:40 |

| ink | no, Cynthia, those really are bash scripts | 21:42 |
| Cynthia | hmw: ah. then yeah, they're Upstart scripts | 21:42 |
| hmw | ink: you could try finding out, what programs are reading those | 21:42 |

| CasualWalker | anodesni.. its Nvidia | 21:53 |

| jcrawford | hey guys my FF keeps hanging on me giving me the greyed out screen for minutes at a time, sometimes upwards of 5 minutes. Any thoughts on what I could do to figure out why it is doing this? | 21:55 |
| CasualWalker | anodesni: so there is no option to fix this thing? my fn with other stuff like volume control, dual monitor, sleep mode, etc works absolutely fine | 21:56 |
| anodesni | though not all driver versions are consistant in stability | 21:56 |
| Slart | anodesni: hmm.. well.. if they at least throw in a good version every now and then it should be ok.. =) | 21:56 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: did you try gnome power settings? or brightness control panel applet? | 21:56 |
| SARO | hey where would i download some video codecs i just tried to watch a divx movie and it downloaded some codecs but now i only see blurry lines of colored crap | 21:56 |

| SARO | i was using totem | 21:56 |

| Cube`` | jrib: ok, will do. just by the way, its 300 mb of packages getting downloaded and inserted into my system. does it create any performance issues having lots of packages installed? or is the only thing prevent from everybody having every imaginable package the disc size? | 21:57 |
| SARO | thanks | 21:57 |
| abal9002 | i've got ubuntu 10.04 freezing "randomly" for no aparent reason, always while browing the www. No mouse and no keyboard, though I can ssh from another computer. Any thoughts? | 21:57 |
| hmw | abal9002: check temperature of your GPU | 21:57 |

| Nilos | ActionParsnip ,Im up to date.But still cannot connect.Is soemthing wrong with my settings? | 21:57 |

| ActionParsnip | Nilos: can't see anything amiss | 21:57 |
| SARO | BluesKaj: ah nice but i can install it? how? | 21:57 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: System -> preferences -> power settings | 21:58 |
| Glacer | Where can I find older .deb install packages at? Without going through installing it manual. | 21:58 |
| arand_ | !repeat | afancy | 21:58 |
| ubottu | afancy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 21:58 |
| abal9002 | Slart: no, can you be more specific, please? Also, there's nothing in the logs. | 21:58 |
| Cube`` | jrib: oh cool! thanks for helping man. seen you a lot helping on #ubuntu. thanks for that. hope you're getting all that support back somehow | 21:58 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: try to change brightness there | 21:58 |
| hmw | anyone knows, why ubuntu is waking up my external USB HD every now and then for no apparent reason? | 21:58 |
| BluesKaj | SARO,m go to the medibuntu site , the tutorial is pretty simple | 21:58 |
| jrib | neodemi: what does « dpkg -S /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 » return by the way? | 21:58 |
| alexandra | hi there,please someone helps me how to connect connx asurmato | 21:58 |
| SARO | ok thanks | 21:58 |
| CasualWalker | yea.. that works fine too.. that is via mouse, but what bout this fn key? | 21:58 |
| Slart | abal9002: I meant either reboot and select the memory check option in grub.. memtest .. or use one of the other memory checkers in synaptic (there is one you can run without rebooting) | 21:59 |
| jrib | Cube``: no problem! | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: ok partitions | 21:59 |
| CasualWalker | but anyway anodesni, my 50% of the problem got solved :) | 21:59 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: there are a lot of options for that | 21:59 |
| Slart | abal9002: I had problems with my computer crashing/locking up until I found out I had a bad memory stick.. it only showed rarely because I had quite a lot of memory.. so that stick was rarely used | 21:59 |
| abal9002 | Slart: got it. what should i be looking for? | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: so a Windows parttion for which version? and a partition that has data on it? | 21:59 |
| SARO | BluesKaj: once i've added the packages what should i choose to install in the software center? | 22:00 |
| neodemi | jrib >> libc6-i686: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 | 22:00 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip ,I set it to WEP and entered the key.But it still wont connect | 22:00 |
| hmw | Slart: if one can login via ssh, doesnt that point to a crashed GPU? I heard, since Jaunty Gnome was "overusing" the GPU somehow. Any ideas about that claim? | 22:00 |
| abal9002 | Slart: i don't think it's that. the computer is brand new. | 22:00 |
| arand_ | afancy: There is, as far as I know, no lvm support on the liveCD versions, you will need to get the alternate CD with debinstaller to get lvm support, direct from the CD. | 22:00 |
| CasualWalker | anodesni, what you suggested is a better option. It takes lil more time but got it done, i guess fn is still a bug | 22:00 |
| Slart | abal9002: memtest will just show you a blue text screen.. I think there are counters for number of errors and such.. and it will tell you that some address is bad if it finds anything | 22:00 |
| SARO | BluesKaj: also wouldnt it be better if Totem installed nothing instead of crap that makes my video look like random lines? | 22:00 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: I mean you can fix the shortcut with fn | 22:01 |
| Slart | hmw: might be.. or some crashed gnome process.. I've actually not seen a gpu crash that I know of.. not really sure what it would look like | 22:01 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: you should assign the right commands to the key using some program, just google for it | 22:01 |
| mjrdelgado | hi, I need some help with my Ubuntu | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | mjrdelgado | 22:01 |
| ubottu | mjrdelgado: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:02 |
| Slart | abal9002: well.. that's where I would start looking.. second place would be graphics drivers.. but I think some other people suggested that already | 22:02 |
| fcuk112 | how do i boot lucid into safe graphics mode? i tried holding down F8 or shift while rebooting but it doesn't show the grub menu. | 22:02 |
| CasualWalker | can you teach me how? I bout a new laptop just now. everything is so good except for this fn key.. can you help me to fix it plz? | 22:02 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: maybe this is useful http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys | 22:02 |
| Slart | abal9002: there's also some stress testing apps in synaptic that lets you excercise the computer just to see if that makes it break down | 22:02 |
| SARO | now that i've added the mediabuntu packages what should i choose to install in the software center so that divx plays?? | 22:02 |
| eddvrs | sebsebseb: yes- I've XP installed on the first 30GiB, then an 80(ish)GiB partition. Both have data, but first is completely full... | 22:02 |
| Fandekasp_ | histo, I have a problem, I can't mount a disk. I've put the info there : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/215942/ Could someone look at it and help me to find a solution to mount my disk and have access to my data ? Thank you a lot in advance ! | 22:02 |
| mjrdelgado | ok, I can'c activate the bluetooth on ubuntu 9.10 and neither 10.04 | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: the XP partition is full? | 22:03 |
| CasualWalker | thanks anodesni, will have a look at it and come back if i have any doubts :) | 22:03 |
| SARO | now that i've added the mediabuntu packages what should i choose to install in the software center so that divx plays in Totem?? | 22:03 |
| CasualWalker | thanks for the quick and good help annodesni :) | 22:03 |
| Fandekasp_ | sorry histo , I didn't want to write to you in particular, my apologize | 22:03 |
| Fandekasp_ | Does someone know how can I mount my disk ? Thank you | 22:03 |
| eddvrs | sebsebseb: yes. | 22:04 |
| VCoolio | Fandekasp_: not ext3, it's ntfs, so you'll need -t ntfs-3g (and have ntfs-3g installed) | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: so full that, XP won't work? | 22:04 |
| Nilos | ActionParsnip , how do I see which networks are available to me from command kline.I dont think the access point i set | 22:04 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: I read here that those keys are controlled by the BIOS, and something about setting some options in grub | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: have you got an external hard disk or something like that, to back up data to? If not you should have one really | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: since hard disks can just fail | 22:04 |
| Fandekasp_ | VCoolio, oh ? ok | 22:05 |
| CasualWalker | I don't have much option in BIOS.. not atleast for fn.. | 22:05 |
| mjrdelgado | also, on ubuntu 10.04 my wan disconnects like every 20 minutes | 22:05 |
| hmw | Fandekasp_: i had a similar problem once, didnt really solve it. You might get lucky with some recovery tools... | 22:05 |
| mjrdelgado | wlan sorry | 22:05 |
| hmw | !recover | 22:05 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 22:05 |
| CasualWalker | but my fn is working fine with other combinations, its not that my fn is completely dead | 22:05 |
| exalt | how big is the problem if /usr/share/fonts does not exist? | 22:05 |
| Fandekasp_ | VCoolio, are you sure ? For my /dev/sdb1 , the fdisk -l say it's a linux type | 22:05 |
| fcuk112 | how do i reset my display resolution? all i can get is a blank screen, i can go to terminal but xrandr says can't open display? | 22:06 |
| VCoolio | Fandekasp_: no, i was looking wrong, thought you meant sdc1, sorry | 22:06 |
| eddvrs | sebsebseb: I do have another internal HDD that i use for important documents. | 22:06 |
| FriedrichMan | hello | 22:06 |
| CasualWalker | anodesni: anyways.. thanks for the guidance :) | 22:06 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: using gparted to re size XP partitions or other partitions, will probably go rather fine indeed, but a slight chance of data loss even so I guess, altough never happended to me | 22:06 |
| FriedrichMan | got a bit of a prob | 22:06 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: and I have done this kind of stuff a lot | 22:06 |
| hmw | fcuk112: you need to use xrandr in a terminal under Gnome not on the console | 22:06 |
| Slart | exalt: I think gnome might behave a little weird.. the TTYs shouldn't be affected though.. tried just reinstalling the fone packages ? | 22:06 |
| FriedrichMan | since ubuntu's upgrade I haven't been able to boot the winxp disk... | 22:07 |
| FriedrichMan | has anyone have had a similar problem or knows how to solve it? | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: it's Vista where you would want to let it resize itself first, so you don't get data loss, but Gparted is fine for re sizing XP | 22:07 |

| VCoolio | Fandekasp_: try -t auto or maybe it's ext4? else you'll need to fsck or what is the check command | 22:07 |
| anodesni | CasualWalker: no problem | 22:07 |
| hmw | !grub2 | FriedrichMan - check the bottom of the file | 22:07 |
| fcuk112 | hmw: so what can i do? all i get is a blank screen when i boot, i need to reset the display resolution somehow. | 22:07 |
| ubottu | FriedrichMan - check the bottom of the file: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 22:07 |

| eddvrs | sebsebseb: OK. Thanks. I was thinking- defrag first, shrink the second part, then move it. then enlarge the first partition? anything else? | 22:08 |
| BluesKaj | Bookman, install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:08 |
| Bookman | BluesKaj, I did, still no go | 22:08 |
| abal9002 | Slart: thanks | 22:08 |
| hmw | FriedrichMan: repairing Grub2 with chroot | 22:08 |

| sebsebseb | eddvrs: you can defrag first, but you probably won't get data loss by resiznig it if you don't. however then again your XP partition is rather full. and so when it comes to resizing XP you can only make it bigger I guess, when you have unalloacted space | 22:08 |
| Slart | exalt: WM DM? | 22:09 |

| tomatto_ | please, what can i do with ubuntu on 600MHz PIII, which is so slow on it? | 22:12 |
| Bookman | Anyone else know why my dvd player will not play dvds? | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: going in? | 22:13 |
| Slart | exalt: oh.. no idea about that.. I don't use plain TTY's that much.. | 22:13 |
| fcuk112 | how to boot into safe mode? | 22:13 |
| piper69 | Loshki: can you show me where i can track that bug | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | fcuk112: from recovery mode | 22:13 |
| xTheGoat121x | I'm having an odd problem since I've installed 10.04 -- my user doesn't seem to have proper permissions. I cannot shut down my computer properly, mount certain USB devices, or hibernate, among other things | 22:13 |
| abal9002 | thanks! | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | fcuk112: well low graphics mode | 22:13 |
| jrib | tomatto_: what do you want to do with it? | 22:13 |
| marloshouse | Bookman: have you tried running the dvd player with sudo ? | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | fcuk112: safe mode is a Windows thing | 22:13 |
| fcuk112 | sebsebseb: can't get the grub menu up | 22:13 |
| tomatto_ | jrib: somehow make it faster | 22:13 |
| Kentrel | xTheGoat121x, you'll need to edit your /etc/fstab file | 22:13 |
| marloshouse | i just upgraded to ubuntu 10 and kde has lost all menus and mouse clicking. mouse movement still works, but everything else is gone. is there a file/folder i can delete to get everything to reset? | 22:13 |
| jrib | tomatto_: what are you using it for I mean | 22:13 |
| Kentrel | !fstab | xTheGoat121x | 22:13 |
| ubottu | xTheGoat121x: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:13 |
| hmw | tomatto_: give it at least 1 GB RAM, disable autostarts and unused services, give it a decent GPU and let Compiz give you the impression of speed | 22:14 |
| eddvrs | sebsebseb: going to give it a go- see how I get on. | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | fcuk112: hit esc or whatever to get it up, or I guess edit grub config so it shows | 22:14 |
| sebsebseb | eddvrs: ok good luck | 22:14 |
| tomatto_ | jrib: ubuntu 10.04 | 22:14 |

| jrib | tomatto_: you want to use it as a desktop? | 22:14 |
| Bookman | marloshouse, cannot run vlc as root | 22:14 |
| tomatto_ | hmw: it has 128MB ram at all. i cannot add any ram. i haven't it | 22:14 |
| tomatto_ | jrib: yes, as desktop | 22:14 |
| xTheGoat121x | Kentrel, really? That would even effect shutting down properly? | 22:15 |
| fcuk112 | thanks i will take a look | 22:15 |
| jrib | tomatto_: how much ram? | 22:15 |
| hmw | tomatto_: that computer is destined to be boring with Ubuntu. Use fluxbox instead of gnome, or get another distro | 22:15 |
| marloshouse | Bookman: i would check access to the device as a user, it seems to me there are permission issues with those devices (sometimes) and i think you add your user to a group to grant you access to them... but i'm no expert | 22:15 |
| Cynthia | How would I file a request to the Ubuntu developers to run OptiPNG and Scour.py on the PNG and SVG files of packages -- or at least, these files as they are on the LiveCD? Enhancement request on the bug tracker? | 22:15 |
| tomatto_ | jrib: 128MB | 22:15 |

| jrib | Cynthia: #ubuntu-bugs | 22:15 |
| lachouffe | hi !! i've just installed yarssr and it appears that the notification area icon is not transparent | 22:16 |
| lachouffe | what can i do to this ? | 22:16 |
| hmw | tomatto_: something super slim... not Ubuntu | 22:16 |
| Kentrel | xTheGoat121x, possibly | 22:16 |
| anodesni | tomatto_: damn small linux | 22:16 |
| Kentrel | its worth a shot | 22:16 |
| Bookman | marloshouse, I don't think that is it. I just cannot find the libdvdcss driver....I have medibuntu repo enabled and synaptic does not find it | 22:16 |
| VCoolio | lachouffe: find the icon, gimp it | 22:16 |
| hmw | tomatto_: I'd recommend using WIndows XP on that machine, if youre not good with Linux | 22:16 |
| abal9002 | also, can anyone point out good resources for, say, system administration (in Linux, of course)? | 22:17 |
| lachouffe | VCoolio, in fatc the icon is xmp so there is already transparency but it seems it's not working with new ubuntu | 22:17 |
| VirusTB | Aciid, u there? | 22:17 |
| lachouffe | cause it was working well on karmic | 22:17 |

| tarzeau-ppc | i have a real sound card and an USB UBER subwoofer. how can i make the usb sound thing be default for all sound apps? | 22:17 |
| tomatto_ | hmw: windows xp is very slow too, on. i am good with linux, i just have not experiences with slow computers | 22:17 |
| andruk | my fresh lucid install is not pulling an IP address, i have a realtek rtl8111 chipset, how do i get it to work? | 22:18 |

| Time`s_Witness | hey . iaccidentaly removed the button to shutdown at top right corner. how can i place it back there please | 22:20 |

| sebsebseb | Time`s_Witness: nice :) so I guess at the oment you have to shut down using system menu :) | 22:20 |
| VirusTB | sebsebseb, | 22:20 |
| Docteh | Time`s_Witness: right click the panel and use the add thing | 22:20 |
| sebsebseb | Time`s_Witness: or terminal | 22:20 |
| murdock36 | irc://irc.what-network.net/ | 22:21 |
| Time`s_Witness | yea but i cant find it in that menu Docteh | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | Time`s_Witness: or use from system menu :) or set panels back to default | 22:21 |
| murdock36 | wut | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | Time`s_Witness | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Time`s_Witness: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 22:21 |
| andruk | Docteh: yes, the normal ifconfig output for an unconnected interface | 22:21 |
| VCoolio | Time`s_Witness: add user switch applet or what's it called exactly | 22:21 |
| Time`s_Witness | i don't want to reset to default i want to add the button there! O.o what is it called as in the menu? i think i have added everythign there except that button | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | VirusTB: you high lighted me before, what do you want? | 22:22 |
| Time`s_Witness | VCoolio nah, it's not that one :S | 22:22 |
| VirusTB | tryna get Rhymote installed .. but when i do ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/plugins is tells me no such directory :S http://code.google.com/p/rhythmote/ sebsebseb | 22:22 |

| Docteh | FriedrichMan: you want to run your windows in a virtual machine? | 22:22 |
| FriedrichMan | nope | 22:23 |
| VirusTB | sebsebseb, web interface to control RhythmBox music player | 22:23 |

| breakd0wn | hi, I am trying to install 10.4 server. It goes through a good part of the install (partition, format, base) and then tells me to insert a different CD | 22:24 |
| hmw | tomatto_: no. only chance is a BIOS upgrade perhaps | 22:24 |
| Docteh | andruk: the dhclient eth0 is just to make sure its not a problem at a low level | 22:24 |
| Docteh | breakd0wn: i wasn't aware there was more than one cd, maybe the cd you have is bad? | 22:24 |
| tomatto_ | hmw: when i plug in flash drive. bios going to be frozen | 22:25 |
| breakd0wn | Docteh: hmmm, i will try to redownload and reburn | 22:25 |
| Docteh | breakd0wn: try the option to verify the cd at the boot menu | 22:25 |
| IdleOne | breakd0wn: there is only one cd to install Ubuntu it be desktop or server. | 22:25 |
| hmw | !md5 | breakd0wn: check disk integrity before redownloading | 22:25 |

| tarzeau-ppc | DAMN | 22:26 |

| BluesKaj | tomatto_, don't plug the flashdrive in when editing the bios , try to finf removable devices and set it up in the boot sequence if possible | 22:26 |

| rabidweezle | Anyone know an app that transcodes mp3 to ogg with a pretty gui? | 22:27 |
| Docteh | jrib: what about the stuff in /etc/skel? | 22:27 |
| jrib | KaffeeJunky123: you can copy the stuff in /etc/skel/ if you want but I don't believe that affects anything visually | 22:27 |
| Slart | piper69: try first just "make".. then "sudo make install" | 22:27 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | jrib: well, I've mounted an existing partition as /home and created a folder for my user | 22:27 |
| sebsebseb | VirusTB: rythombox plugins in your home? | 22:27 |

| FloodBot4 | Docteh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:27 |
| tomatto_ | BluesKaj: i plug in flash and run pc | 22:28 |
| Slart | piper69: "make" compiles a program.. "make install" installs it ..so you need to be root for the second step | 22:28 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | jrib: there by I deleted all config files that ubuntu made in my home/user dir :) | 22:28 |
| marloshouse | i just upgraded to ubuntu 10 and kde has lost all menus and mouse clicking. mouse movement still works, but everything else is gone. is there a file/folder i can delete to get everything to reset? | 22:28 |
| VirusTB | sebsebseb, i exracted the plugin's zip file to my home direfctory yes | 22:28 |
| VirusTB | dicretory* | 22:28 |
| jrib | KaffeeJunky123: log out and log back in. If you want you can copy the /etc/skel/ stuff as Docteh points out | 22:28 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: ~/.kde* | 22:28 |
| Slart | piper69: and I'm not so sure if it's a good idea to try to compile stuff in /usr/src directly.. you might need to change the permissions before you can do that | 22:28 |
| sebsebseb | VirusTB: and then you should be able to drag it into the rythombox plugins hidden folder in there as well | 22:28 |
| marloshouse | tarzeau i dumped it, still nothing | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | marloshouse: try #kubuntu | 22:29 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: welcome to ubuntu :) | 22:29 |
| VirusTB | oh.. its hidden :S no wonder i cant see it | 22:29 |
| KaffeeJunky123 | jrib: so I should just restard the display manager? | 22:29 |
| VirusTB | oh.. its hidden :S no wonder i cant see it sebsebseb | 22:29 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: don't worry, i'm having these problems too, well our users actually (no sane person would use software that's so shaky with its own config files) | 22:29 |
| sebsebseb | VirusTB: view > show hidden files and folders | 22:29 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: you use kde yourself? | 22:29 |
| jrib | KaffeeJunky123: no, you do... | 22:30 |
| marloshouse | tarzeau i am using kde, and i ran the 'upgrade' on two other machines with no problems, i was quite pleased in fact, and was reserving this one since my wife uses it | 22:30 |
| marloshouse | and this one failed | 22:30 |
| marloshouse | all i have is a wallpaper from kde | 22:30 |
| marloshouse | nothing else | 22:31 |
| marloshouse | oh, and a mouse | 22:31 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: i hope your wife won't get upset about it | 22:31 |
| marloshouse | usually killing ~/.kde will reset most problems | 22:31 |
| tomatto_ | how ubuntu makes to automatick mounting cdrom and flash drive? | 22:31 |
| marloshouse | there doesn't seem to be anyone in kubuntu | 22:32 |
| tarzeau-ppc | tomatto_: using udev i think, or gnome's automounter, it's a user process | 22:32 |
| marloshouse | no traffic at all | 22:32 |
| Docteh | tomatto_: the file manager does it | 22:32 |
| VirusTB | sebsebseb, thanks once again, you helped me out with an issue in 9.04 .. god bless you :P | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | VirusTB: Did I? oh | 22:32 |

| SeViLLa | how can i get bluetooth to work with a windows mobile phone | 22:32 |
| Docteh | marloshouse: trash the .kde folder before you log in? | 22:32 |

| xTheGoat121x | It wasn't my FSTAB | 22:32 |
| tomatto_ | Docteh: what do you mean file manager? | 22:32 |
| marloshouse | Docteh: i trashed it from another user, so i'm sure it is gone before rebooting | 22:33 |
| VirusTB | sebsebseb, i did :P thats why i directed message to you :P ok... time for me to play arround in ubuntu n learn more | 22:33 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Hans_Henrik: use find in a terminal? | 22:33 |

| claptrap | So, ever since I upgraded to Lucid, I've been having some issues with Flash not working quite as well as it did back on Karmic. | 22:34 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: firefox or google chrome or chromium? | 22:34 |
| Docteh | claptrap: what kind of "not as well" | 22:34 |
| claptrap | tarzeau-ppc: All of the above. | 22:34 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: any special flash pages? | 22:34 |
| claptrap | Specifically Hulu and Kongregate.com | 22:34 |
| marloshouse | Docteh: no, nothing from either user (me or my wife)... so i killed my ~/.kde from her login and hers from mine ( since some files were locked) and i'm certain .kde was gone, and then reboted | 22:34 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: 32 or 64bit? | 22:34 |
| claptrap | Sixty-four. | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | claptrap: what's the second site? what kind of site? | 22:35 |
| tarzeau-ppc | marloshouse: kderc too? | 22:35 |
| marloshouse | no | 22:35 |
| claptrap | sebsebseb: It's a Flash game site. The games themselves work perfectly, however - | 22:35 |
| marloshouse | lemme try that | 22:35 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: you got the 32-bit emulator flash or the one from adobe.com ? | 22:35 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: i mean do you use ubuntu flashplugin-installer? | 22:35 |
| sebsebseb | claptrap: Flash issues sometimes, also sometimes things that worked well in a previous version of Ubuntu, don't in the latest | 22:35 |
| claptrap | sebsebseb: The website uses an API to get points from achievements in games; to do that, it has to connect to their chat system. It won't connect. | 22:36 |
| claptrap | tarzeau-ppc: Yes, flashplugin-installer | 22:36 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Flash Gordon should fry adobe | 22:36 |
| === 45PAAKDXY is now known as Thorfinn | ||

| Nick_Meister | hi guys im having problem with the gnome panels when i set their size to larger with the new 10.4 theme the gradient ends abruptly spllitting thee pannel into 2 different colors | 22:37 |
| marloshouse | i don't see kderc | 22:37 |
| Nick_Meister | when i set the background to solid color instead of theme | 22:37 |
| tarzeau-ppc | i wish their vp8 codec will become free software and help to get rid of flash | 22:37 |
| Nick_Meister | the applets on the bar dont do that and i get 2 different styles | 22:37 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: very old :) | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: yes apparnatly it will be soon | 22:37 |
| claptrap | At any rates, I'm not too horribly concerned with Hulu, since their desktop-player works just fine. | 22:37 |
| claptrap | Kongregate, however, is quite ticking me off. :E | 22:37 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: any news/statements from them? | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: not that I have seen | 22:37 |
| exalt | Slart: it was setfont | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: however I read some article that gave some sort of offical info, or whatever it was | 22:38 |
| claptrap | I tried downgrading to Flash 9, but eh, I didn't have a whole lot of success making that work properly. | 22:38 |
| Slart | exalt: ah.. that's was all you had to install? | 22:38 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: sounds good. oh how i hate adobe! | 22:38 |
| Cynthia | Could you move the Google VP8 Flash conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps? :) | 22:38 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Cynthia: you should. we're long done with it | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: Flash is alright, when it works properly | 22:38 |
| exalt | Slart: its already installed :) | 22:38 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: and what about adobe reader? | 22:38 |
| Slart | exalt: great =) | 22:39 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: it's just using way too much cpu power | 22:39 |
| Cynthia | tarzeau-ppc: I haven't talked about it except for that ONE line. | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: Adobe Reader is ok on Windows, you can do it on a Linux distro to, but not much point, since there are good alternative PDF viewers | 22:39 |
| tomatto_ | i can waht to internet television, but firefox told me, i need to MMSH modul, what is it and where can i found it to install? | 22:39 |
| ninjafusion | so if forward a port on my router and then turn ufw off i should be set to go right? | 22:39 |

| ubottu | tarzeau-ppc: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 22:39 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: my users whine about not being able to edit forms, and save them | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: as for creating them you can use Open Office for example | 22:40 |
| xTheGoat121x | I cannot properly shutdown my computer, nor can I mount certain drives, hibernate, or suspend. It's not related to my fstab file, and it doesn't seem to be related to my user. I'm at a complete loss | 22:40 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: or scribus (with even forms) | 22:40 |
| claptrap | tarzeau-ppc: No thoughts on mah Flash issues? :< | 22:40 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: forms? what you mean forms? | 22:40 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: no idea really | 22:40 |
| tarzeau-ppc | i want to get rid of my default sound card so all software programs see my USB iSub | 22:40 |

| daniel | hi everybody, I have a problem XChat won`t connect to UndeNet, can anybody help ? thanks | 22:41 |
| Nilos | wicd can seee wireless network but cannot retreive an IP address | 22:41 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: uh, PDF's aren't spread sheets, but you could save a a spreadsheet into a PDF yeah | 22:41 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: remount the filsystem readonly, sync, remove the power plug? | 22:41 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: wait wait, it's not me who does this stuff. do you know web formulars? | 22:41 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau, well, yeah, but that seems a bit extreme to do every time I want to shut down | 22:42 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: you can make this as PDF! and adobe reader can edit and save this crap. and some users need this (not me, luckily) | 22:42 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: poweroff doesn't work, the command in a terminal, as root user? | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: web formulars? sounds like some WYSIWYG feature. or something. | 22:42 |
| Cynthia | Nick_Meister: Regarding your GNOME panel problem, this is a bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/560637 The backgrounds of icons on panels don't follow the system theme, but the empty spaces do | 22:42 |
| Glacer | anyone running Gdesklet on 10.04? | 22:42 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, Give me a second and I'll try that. | 22:42 |
| jlebar | We've found a pretty serious memory leak in gnome-power-manager which we think has been tracked down to Ubuntu-specific code. How can I get a Ubuntu dev to look at this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/569273 | 22:42 |
| BluesKaj | tarzeau-ppc, you can set it up in the bios , enable it in system peripherals | 22:42 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: anyways, it doesn't work with linux free software, nor adobe reader | 22:42 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: right well a PDF, is only meant to be seen, it's not meant to be edited | 22:43 |
| Slart | jlebar: if it's in the bug database that should be enough | 22:43 |
| tarzeau-ppc | jlebar: buy professional support, open a case? :) | 22:43 |
| tomatto_ | how can i add ubuntu livecd booting via grub | 22:43 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: why? | 22:43 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: really don't discuss this with me. | 22:43 |
| jlebar | tarzeau, Well, I don't really care; I can just disable gnome-power-manager. But I think less savvy users may be getting hammered by this. | 22:44 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: whatever it was off topic anyway | 22:44 |
| tarzeau-ppc | jlebar: same here. i'm not ubuntu. not so easy to find the right people | 22:44 |
| tarzeau-ppc | jlebar: i also got some nice bugs and fixes for them... if only i knew who cares | 22:44 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: i have grub on my flash with others utilities and i need to add ubuntu livecd to. how can i do that? | 22:44 |
| whiter | how can i tell if my VPN is working? rather, if ubuntu is routing my connection through the VPN? | 22:45 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: uhmm Grub installed onto your computers hard disk? | 22:45 |
| Slart | jlebar: from what I can see the bug is already getting some attention in the bug report | 22:45 |
| Cynthia | tarzeau-ppc: add to the bug database, a bug with [PATCH] in the title, and 'patch' in the tags | 22:45 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: on my usb flash drive | 22:45 |
| Cynthia | ... if you have patches, that is; I think I misread your line | 22:45 |
| jlebar | Slart, Oh...now that I look at it, you're right. Chris Coulson has a canonical address. This is good. | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: I have never put Ubuntu on a USB stick, however I thought, it was just put Ubuntu on the USB stick, have it bootable, and boot the computer from it | 22:46 |
| sebsebseb | !usb | tomatto_ | 22:46 |
| ubottu | tomatto_: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 22:46 |
| Colloguy | I'm trying to restore an EFI partition's MBR, which I accidentally overwrote. Can someone who dual boots os x and linux, and is willing to run dd if=/dev/disk0s1 of=result bs=512 skip=0 count=1 to grab the info off their EFI partition, whisper me? :O | 22:46 |
| breakd0wn | cd checked out ok, I have a feeling it has something to do with the CDROM. Tried to use a USB cdrom to start and it couldnt find any modules, so dug up an old IDE cdrom | 22:46 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, as you can probably tell, the shutdown command from the command line works... maybe my user is messed up? | 22:46 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: i have no idea. i always use poweroff | 22:46 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: well if i ever shut down computers | 22:47 |
| Colloguy | maybe if=/dev/sda1 on linux | 22:47 |
| piper69 | Slart: where do you suggest to compile it | 22:48 |
| joe18201-1187 | a | 22:48 |
| Nilos | wicd can see my wireless network but cannot retrieve an IP address.I have set encryption, but it still fails.What am I missing? | 22:48 |
| Slart | piper69: I would copy the source code to your home folder somewhere.. setup the permissions with chmod and then try compiling again | 22:48 |
| jorgos | hello. if i compile a kernel on another machine and then copy it will it work? will it be any different from having compiled it on the original machine? | 22:48 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, well it's not just shutting down I'm worried about. This is also effecting mounting external drives, despite having changed my permissions to be able to do so | 22:48 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: sorry i have no idea, i can't help you | 22:48 |
| === edd_ is now known as eddvrs | ||
| piper69 | Slart: well i tried it with root and still same result | 22:49 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: this howtos uses isolinux and syslinux, but i need to use grub for | 22:49 |
| Slart | piper69: I'm not sure if it's a good way or not but I keep a ~/src folder for all my hand compiled software | 22:49 |
| michelle__ | Nilos: what type of network? and what kind of key? | 22:49 |
| chandler243 | Hello, I am having issues configuring my printer connected to my ubuntu 10.04 via usb to be able to print to the printer from a windows computer, Can anyone help please? | 22:49 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Slart: pretty good, i do it likewise :) | 22:49 |
| xiong | I will tell a tale some may find instructional, others merely humorous. | 22:49 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: I don't understand why you want to boot a USB Ubuntu using Grub on your hard disk? | 22:49 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: the printer only has usb, or also network? | 22:49 |
| Nilos | michelle__, its a wireless network with a WEP encryption | 22:49 |
| Slart | piper69: mm.. I'm not sure if it is a permissions issue or not.. it might be something else as well.. but getting rid of the permissions stuff would be a good start | 22:50 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, no problem, thanks for everything up to this point. At least I can shut down properly now! | 22:50 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: really just switch the usb cable between the machines or read about samba | 22:50 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: you've got a funny nick | 22:50 |
| michelle__ | nilos: ad-hoc or infrastructure? | 22:50 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: not on hard disk, on USB FLASH DISK | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: that's what the persistent install does, I thought | 22:50 |
| xiong | I need to change my CPU scaling frequently. (I installed an overpowered chip in my laptop, which tends to overheat.) The applet demands I authenticate before performing this privileged action. | 22:50 |
| Mark____ | hey i got a problem | 22:50 |
| Nilos | michelle__, infrstructure? | 22:50 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Mark____ | 22:50 |
| ubottu | Mark____: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 22:50 |
| chandler243 | Tarzeau-ppc It does have network, But in this configureation I would pefer to use usb | 22:51 |
| Mark____ | my wired connection keeps dropping what do i do? | 22:51 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Mark____: replace the cable? | 22:51 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 22:51 |
| Mark____ | its a brand new cable | 22:51 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, LoL Thanks, it comes from my goatee | 22:51 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yo yo yo | 22:51 |
| Slart | Mark____: any errors in /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log? | 22:51 |
| wildbat | yoyoyo | 22:52 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: usb creator make usb bootable with isolinux, but i can't to use it, i need to boot ubuntu livecd by grub | 22:52 |
| ferret_ | claptrap: It doesn't work with 64-bit flash | 22:52 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Mark____: or does it switch between 10/100/1000mbit, maybe make sure both sides don't do autoneg? | 22:52 |
| harjot | how do i make kill kaffeine at 6:00am tommorrow morning? | 22:52 |
| xiong | I could not figure out right away how to fix it; so I left the dialog open to copy out the details and search the net for solutions. I found one (simple enough), did it, but then couldn't use the panel applet at all. No clicks worked! | 22:52 |
| tarzeau-ppc | xTheGoat121x: did you forget an s now or not? | 22:52 |
| Slart | harjot: crontab | 22:52 |
| ferret_ | claptrap: You'll have to use 32-bit, either with nsplugin-wrapper or 32-bit browser | 22:52 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: from a CD? | 22:52 |
| michelle__ | nilos: have you have you set an MTU size or is it auto | 22:52 |
| ActionParsnip | tomatto_: you can use a floppy to boot a cd if the system cannot boot cd | 22:52 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: from USB FLASH DISK | 22:52 |
| harjot | crontab? | 22:52 |
| chandler243 | I would like to use samba, as I just have it installed, But I need help configuring it, I cant get the windows computer to reconize it on the network | 22:52 |
| Nilos | michelle__, it is auto | 22:52 |
| maxxx | hi | 22:52 |
| harjot | Slart: you sure? | 22:53 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: really it's not so simple. if you ask me | 22:53 |
| tomatto_ | ActionParsnip: i need to boot USB FLASH DISK with grub. it is possible? how can do it? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | chandler243: did you share some folders in nautilus?? | 22:53 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: repeate the issue again, and maybe ActionParsnip or someone like that, can help | 22:53 |
| Slart | harjot: that's how I would do it.. there might be other ways too, of course | 22:53 |
| xiong | I tried several things. I right-clicked it. I tried adding it again. I added several of them. I undid the fix. Something was Very Wrong and I got ready to reboot, hoping the issue would resolve itself. | 22:53 |
| harjot | Slart: can you walk me through it? | 22:53 |
| ActionParsnip | tomatto_: sure, there are floppy images to do it | 22:53 |
| michelle__ | Nilos is your wep security set for a key or a passphrase? | 22:53 |
| Mark____ | wait how do i connect to a wifi network? when i click on wifi under wireless networks it says disconected | 22:53 |
| Slart | harjot: sure | 22:53 |
| harjot | Slart: what about at? | 22:53 |
| tomatto_ | ActionParsnip: why floppy image? | 22:53 |
| jorgos | Can I compile a kernel on a 64bit system and install it on a 32bit system??? | 22:53 |
| xTheGoat121x | tarzeau-ppc, forget an s? No... | 22:54 |
| Slart | harjot: sure.. at should work too.. I've never used it myself though | 22:54 |
| chandler243 | tarzeau-ppc: I have filesharing working ok, But in your opionion what is the eaisest way to do this? | 22:54 |
| tarzeau-ppc | jorgos: if you do it right, yes | 22:54 |
| Mark____ | anyone? | 22:54 |
| claptrap | ferret_: That's for Kongregate? | 22:54 |
| Docteh | tomatto_: whats wrong with syslinux? | 22:54 |
| harjot | Slart: how would crontab | 22:54 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: switch the usb cable whenever you want to print from one place | 22:54 |
| ActionParsnip | tomatto_: as all bios' can boot floppy but not all can boot usb or cd | 22:54 |
| claptrap | ferret_: And how would I do that? | 22:54 |
| wildbat | Mark____, right click it ~ | 22:54 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: or copy the files over to the machine connected to the printer | 22:54 |
| xiong | Now, since I use 8 virtual desktops, I go around and close windows, perhaps making a simple text note of what I had running in each, before any planned shutdown. Well into this process, I came on the original virtual desktop on which I'd left open the authentication demand. It was still open, which blocked anything else from that applet. I closed it, re-fixed the applet, and now it works fine. | 22:55 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: i use pscp/scp for this usually | 22:55 |
| Slart | harjot: when I think of it.. at might be the better solution.. have you tried it? | 22:55 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: or share them via http (linux) and get them with the browser on windows | 22:55 |
| ferret_ | claptrap: I don't know how you would do that in ubuntu. | 22:55 |
| Glacer | Has anyone got Gdesklet to work on ubuntu 10.04? I did have it working on 10.04, then it upgraded the package of Gdesklet and it will not load now. I miss that feature to desktop for organizing and stuff. | 22:55 |
| harjot | Slart: im not sure how to use it | 22:55 |
| harjot | Slart: its confusing | 22:55 |
| breakd0wn | damn, happened again :( Please insert the disk labeled 'Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS amd64 in the drive /cdrom and press enter | 22:55 |
| tomatto_ | Docteh: i have usb flash with grub with other utilities and i need to add ubuntu live into it. | 22:55 |
| Slart | harjot: hmm.. let me have a quick look at the man page.. just a sec | 22:55 |
| Mark____ | wildbat: it says wireless network enabled | 22:55 |
| tomatto_ | ActionParsnip: where i found this floppy images? | 22:55 |
| sebsebseb | breakd0wn: if your using hte server version you can get support in #ubuntu-server | 22:56 |
| Nilos | michelle__, passphrase | 22:56 |
| breakd0wn | thanks | 22:56 |
| sebsebseb | breakd0wn: np | 22:56 |
| ActionParsnip | tomatto_: there are guides all over the place | 22:56 |
| breakd0wn | join #ubuntu-server | 22:56 |
| chandler243 | Tarzeau-ppc: How do I get that? Is that a package? Or how would I configure http access? | 22:56 |
| wildbat | Mark____, then it should scan the wifi network, try disenable and re enable it | 22:56 |
| tomatto_ | ActionParsnip: where? | 22:56 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: your computers all have network/internet right? | 22:56 |
| Docteh | tomatto_: oh is that all, copy the contents of inside the ISO to the usb drive, and boot the kernel and initrd from grub, may need to find a guide to tell you how to specify where the compressed loop is | 22:57 |
| soreau | What would be the easiest way to install 2.6.34 kernel on ubuntu in anyones opinion? | 22:57 |
| wildbat | Mark____, or if you have wifi switch ~ toggle it | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | tomatto_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/ | 22:57 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: if you say aptitude install thttpd (ubuntu broke lighttpd, see launchpad) | 22:57 |
| FloodBot4 | ActionParsnip: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:57 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: you get a webserver, and you put files in /var/www/ | 22:57 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: its not an official ubuntu kernel so is not supported here | 22:57 |
| tarzeau-ppc | chandler243: and then they're available as http://your.computers.ip.address/ from the other one | 22:57 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | hey, i upgraded ubuntu server 8.04 to 10.04 and now i'm stuck in an initramfs prompt at boot. anything i can do from there? it's a server i don't have physical access to :/ | 22:57 |
| Mark____ | wildbat: i tried and it still says disconnected btw im using wubi is that a proble,? | 22:57 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Fair enough | 22:58 |
| Mark____ | *problem | 22:58 |
| tomatto_ | Docteh: yes, that i find out. but i don't know how and where | 22:58 |
| xiong | Whenever I make or break a wireless connection, a big fat black box pops up, which cannot be dismissed but fades away after (too long). Can this be disabled? | 22:58 |
| chandler243 | Yes, all of them, The printer cannot access the network because it does not have a wifi card, The desktop it is connected to via usb is linked via an internal wifi card for desktops | 22:58 |
| tarzeau-ppc | DrUnKnMuNkY: hehe pretty bad, i had the same problem several times from karmic to 10.04 | 22:58 |
| andruk | Docteh: no DHCP offers received (realtek wired ethernet card) | 22:58 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I built kernels on gentoo and arch but never had a reason to on ubuntu until now | 22:58 |
| wildbat | Mark____, no idea ~ shouldn't be thou | 22:58 |
| tarzeau-ppc | DrUnKnMuNkY: one of them i installed just lucid from scratch and restored the backup (this evening actually) | 22:58 |
| harjot | Slart: any idea? | 22:58 |
| killown | how i do to allow windows vncviewer connection for my desktop? because remote desktop does not work for me.. | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: there are guides around but use them at your own risk | 22:59 |
| Docteh | andruk: is there more than one network adaptor, are you sure its connected right? | 22:59 |
| tarzeau-ppc | DrUnKnMuNkY: i'm so glad rsync exists, and we have backups. just had to copy the 1,4 TB data from the backup to the freshly installed machine | 22:59 |
| wildbat | Mark____, manually add a Wifi connection and seee if it wrks | 22:59 |
| Mark____ | anyone know why under wireless network it says disconnected? | 22:59 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: Obviously, thanks | 22:59 |
| Mark____ | ok ill try | 22:59 |
| maxxx | Mark____ : how are you using IRC ? THEN | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | !vnc | killown | 22:59 |
| ubottu | killown: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:59 |
| Slart | harjot: hmm.. the man page wasn't that informative.. give me another minute to try it | 22:59 |
| michelle__ | Nilos: be sure that you are usig the same index key as the access point then] | 22:59 |
| killown | thanks | 22:59 |
| Droopsta915 | Hello, Im tryin to cd into my flash drive. I see it on my Desktop but I dont see it when I type ls. What am I doing wrong? thank you | 22:59 |
| Mark____ | maxxx: on my mac | 22:59 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Droopsta915: ls /media/ ? | 22:59 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | tarzeau-ppc: it'd be nice to avoid that if possible but it's starting to look like there's no other way. you don't know of any solutions? | 22:59 |
| Mark____ | wildbat: now it says device not ready | 22:59 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Droopsta915: it's not in your home or ~/Desktop .. | 22:59 |
| McKayCR | I can't get server 10.04 to install in virtualPC | 22:59 |

| JRDN | I'm trying to install PDO ODBC.. Any writeups on this? What's the easiest way? | 23:00 |
| Mark____ | no im have to different pcs | 23:00 |
| tarzeau-ppc | DrUnKnMuNkY: maybe they exist. i just don't know of any other. can you select another kernel to start? | 23:00 |
| Docteh | JRDN: what is PDO? | 23:00 |
| maxxx | Mark____ : iwconfig | 23:00 |

| Mark____ | maxxx: btw im dualbooted with wubi | 23:01 |
| Mark____ | is that a poblem? | 23:02 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: I already know I can build it, that's my fallback plan ;) | 23:02 |
| maruen | I edit with crontab -e | 23:02 |
| m3asmi | can you help me to connect with a room of SQL IRS | 23:02 |
| Slart | harjot: ok.. here's an idea.. write this "at 06:00" or whatever time you want to command to run | 23:02 |
| maruen | and I configured it with 08 12 * * * lajes /home/lajes/bin/mysql_backup.sh | 23:02 |
| Sonsee | hi all, one question about konqueror. I set "custom style" in appearence and set the colors I like. Now I don`t have any logos and images on some websites? by default style it works good. any idea? | 23:02 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: that's 12:08 every day | 23:02 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: it should start lajes, which it can't find | 23:02 |
| maruen | yeap | 23:02 |
| maxxx | Mark____ : It dosn't matter | 23:02 |
| ActionParsnip | soreau: those ARE debs.... | 23:02 |

| Glacer | Found a bug in Gdesklet I got it working now if anyone has a problem with it in 10.04, just downgrade a version and it will fine. | 23:02 |
| Sonsee | i have, for example, on youtube NO logo "Youtube" that is red-white colored | 23:02 |
| maruen | lajes it's the user | 23:02 |
| maruen | that executes | 23:02 |
| maruen | right? | 23:02 |
| mjrdelgado | hi, i can't start the bluethoot | 23:02 |
| Slart | harjot: then press enter.. you should get a new line that starts with at>.. now you write the command you want to execute.. press enter and then press CTRL+D when you're finished | 23:03 |
| Sonsee | <sebsebseb> I did ) | 23:03 |
| DrUnKnMuNkY | tarzeau-ppc: no, all i have is some awful web-based console to access the system if it doesn't boot properly. i can't even tell if it's making it as far as grub or not. all i see is the initramfs busybox prompt | 23:03 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: this is root crontab right? | 23:03 |
| Mark____ | maxxx: ok it says wlan0 hugh | 23:03 |
| Slart | harjot: as far as I can tell that should work | 23:03 |
| Mark____ | *though | 23:03 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, no, with lajes user | 23:03 |
| tarzeau-ppc | DrUnKnMuNkY: have fun installing lucid from scratch :) | 23:03 |
| harjot | Slart: are you sure? | 23:03 |
| soreau | ActionParsnip: yea, I misread it. Thanks! | 23:03 |
| harjot | Slart: i will try | 23:03 |
| maxxx | Mark____ : See my private message | 23:03 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: so you are lajes user, and you say crontab -e ? | 23:03 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, yeap | 23:03 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: you don't have to mention the lajes user, only the command see man 5 crontab | 23:03 |
| maruen | any problem int that? | 23:04 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: yes, it's the wrong format | 23:04 |
| Slart | harjot: nope.. I'm not sure.. I'm still experimenting with it myself | 23:04 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: after doy comes the command | 23:04 |
| harjot | Slart: looks like it | 23:04 |
| noerosales | hello | 23:04 |
| tarzeau-ppc | dow, not doy | 23:04 |
| Docteh | maruen: you dont specify a user when you do crontab -e, specify a user in /etc/crontab | 23:04 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, but I tested without the putting lajes | 23:04 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Docteh: actually if he runs crontab -e AS that user, the user is already specified | 23:04 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: and you waited until 12:08 ? | 23:04 |
| harjot | Slart: yup it works | 23:05 |
| harjot | Slart: thanks | 23:05 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, yeap, and it didn't work | 23:05 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: well the command you have can still fail, i don't know your command | 23:05 |
| noerosales | what do think about ubuntu | 23:05 |
| Slart | harjot: you're welcome | 23:05 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: and why not? you usually get mails | 23:05 |
| alonea | have a question. using the UBR and I have an issue where the bottom portion of popup windows get cut off so I can't click ok, cancel, etc. I try to move the window up, but it wont let me move it up past the top bar. | 23:05 |
| mjrdelgado | I'm on a toshiba and can't use the bluethoot | 23:05 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, I didn't got emails | 23:05 |
| mjrdelgado | bluetooth | 23:05 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: your mysql backup sh script is executable? | 23:05 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: did you type "mail" as that lajes user? | 23:05 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: you just want to backup some mysql dbs? | 23:06 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, yes, it's executable | 23:06 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, yes | 23:06 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: i wrote "ibackup" some years ago... why not just use that? | 23:06 |
| GeekSquid | alonea: hold Alt and Click to move window freely | 23:06 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, what is ibackup? | 23:06 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: do you stop the db and copy the db, or dump the data? | 23:06 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: some shell script backup tool | 23:06 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, just dump the data | 23:07 |
| alonea | GeekSquid: thank you so much! its been bugging me since I got this thing a couple months ago | 23:07 |
| GeekSquid | alonea: tricks o'me trade | 23:07 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: http://gnu.ethz.ch/linuks.mine.nu/ibackup/ | 23:07 |
| piper69 | how can i remove a pkg | 23:07 |
| iceroot | maruen: use mysqldump for a db-backup, dont copy the files | 23:07 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: ok it sucks, but hey, it works :) | 23:07 |
| mjrdelgado | I'm on a toshiba and can't use the bluetooth | 23:07 |
| tarzeau-ppc | piper69: aptitude remove pkg | 23:07 |
| maruen | iceroot, I use mysqldump | 23:08 |
| piper69 | tarzeau-ppc: i need the one with -purge | 23:08 |
| iceroot | maruen: ok | 23:08 |
| Tetracomm | Hello. | 23:08 |
| claptrap | ferret_: Thank you thank you thank you thank you! You got me pointed in the right direction and I got it fixed. :D Thank you! | 23:08 |
| andruk | Docteh: yes, I've swapped out cables, and the router gives out IPs to other computers. | 23:08 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, I need to find why the job isn't being executed | 23:08 |
| tarzeau-ppc | piper69: dpkg --purge (or -P) --force-all pkg | 23:08 |
| compengi | lucid doesn't have /boot/grub/menu.lst anymore? where can i set kernel parameters? | 23:08 |
| Tetracomm | How do I add a print queue in Ubuntu 9.10? | 23:08 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: cron usually sends mails | 23:08 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Tetracomm: with cups? | 23:08 |
| iceroot | !grub2 | compengi | 23:09 |
| ubottu | compengi: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:09 |
| Beyecixramd | is there a way to get something like streammygame (it means, stream video and audio from a pc, and keystrokes & mouse from the client, at fullscreen) but free? | 23:09 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: it's called webcam? | 23:09 |
| piper69 | tarzeau-ppc: sorry, apt-get pkg --purge remove | 23:09 |
| mjrdelgado | I'm on a toshiba and can't use the bluetooth | 23:09 |
| Tetracomm | tarzeau-ppc: Yes. | 23:10 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: no, sorry, what i mean is stream the current desktop & audio being played on the server to a client | 23:10 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: and also, stream keystrokes and mouse from the client to the server | 23:10 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: like... playing a high definition game in a nettop and rendering it in a powerful desktop | 23:10 |
| maruen | tarzeau-ppc, which email it sends? | 23:10 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: forget it | 23:11 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: huh? | 23:11 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: you can't play high resolution or 3d games remotely | 23:11 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: to the local user | 23:11 |
| tarzeau-ppc | maruen: that set the job up. you type "mail" in the command line and can read it | 23:11 |
| Beyecixramd | yes with streammygame, i was looking for something like that, but free, tarzeau-ppc | 23:11 |
| Sir_Konrad | so when I hook up my TV to my Ubuntu Home Theater system, will Ubuntu pick up the TV automatically when I put the TV in PC Mode? | 23:11 |
| claptrap | Beyecixramd: Only decent suggestion I see. | 23:12 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: and you don't want to play it remotely, just display it remotely? | 23:12 |
| claptrap | Beyecixramd: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=48500 | 23:12 |
| tarzeau-ppc | i'd still suggest the webcam... | 23:12 |
| claptrap | Beyecixramd: Sounds complicated, but I don't think you're going to find too much even paid content that could do what you're looking for, much less free. | 23:12 |
| mjrdelgado | I'm on a toshiba and can't use the bluetooth | 23:12 |
| claptrap | Beyecixramd: Especially in a Linux channel; games hate Linux. :] | 23:13 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: play it remotely : see the video and audio output and send user input back to the server | 23:13 |
| tarzeau-ppc | mjrdelgado: i've got an USB iSub Subwoofer harman/kardon and can't use it | 23:13 |
| Beyecixramd | claptrap: that's why i asked this :) render it in Windows, play it on Linux | 23:13 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: forget it. that works for nethack, but not much other games | 23:13 |
| claptrap | Beyecixramd: Ah haha. | 23:13 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: people have funny ideas | 23:13 |
| musturd | anyone here good at awk? I need some help | 23:13 |
| harjot | how come i cant use other sound devices when zynaddubfx is open? | 23:13 |
| tarzeau-ppc | musturd: yep! my speciality | 23:13 |
| musturd | cool so: | 23:13 |
| claptrap | tarzeau-ppc: Funny ideas sometimes make great inventions. Example: just about any invention ever. | 23:14 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: it sounds like a sweet setup.. I haven't seen anything like it though.. let us know if you find anything | 23:14 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: someone talked about combining programs (vlc, synergy, etc) and vlc, i might code something VERY basic in Python for this :) | 23:14 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: personally I think it will be a challenge to just get low latency full screen hi-def video transfer goind.. I mean.. if that was easy we could use that instead of vnc or freenx | 23:15 |
| mjrdelgado | tarzeau-ppc: I mean, is there any way to turn on the bluetooth on a toshiba, or to fix it? I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 on a toshiba | 23:15 |
| tarzeau-ppc | mjrdelgado: i don't know | 23:15 |
| claptrap | "I want to use my PC, but all these cords are ticking me off. Anyone know of a way to get rid of these cords." "What are you, stupid? How is the keyboard going to be connected to the PC without a cord. Idiot..." | 23:15 |
| tarzeau-ppc | musturd: i want awk puzzles. where is your problem? | 23:15 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: over a 100 mbps LAN, the onyl thing you need is a pretty decent video compressor, or sacrifice some quality for speed | 23:15 |
| claptrap | Wow, I've apparently forgotten what a question mark is. | 23:15 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: :) | 23:15 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: well.. it sounds like it could work.. if it wasn't for the latency+video transfer thingy | 23:16 |
| tarzeau-ppc | !backups | 23:16 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 23:16 |
| musturd | tarzeau-ppc: I want to print the word after the word that gets caught by my pattern. Like echo "I like to walk all day" | awk /walk/ {print <the word after walk>} . Is there a simple way to do this? | 23:16 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: keystroke prediction :) haha | 23:16 |
| tarzeau-ppc | claptrap: check the /msg dpkg backups (#debian) | 23:16 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: naah, that won't work | 23:16 |
| LetsGo67 | How do I install HP LaserJet CP1215 in Ubuntu 10.04 please? | 23:16 |
| tarzeau-ppc | musturd: definitely | 23:16 |
| === mavromatis is now known as Mavs | ||
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: go to the HP website and search for the Linux drivers, double click and follow the onscreen instructions :) | 23:17 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: or install the hplip package from synaptic :) | 23:17 |
| musturd | tarzeau-ppc: I can't find anything in documentations on how to do this | 23:17 |
| Slart | musturd: does it have to be in awk? | 23:17 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Slart: sed? | 23:17 |
| musturd | Slart: I could use something else | 23:17 |
| Slart | tarzeau-ppc: or grep.. I just don't like awk.. or rather.. awk doesn't like me =) | 23:18 |
| LetsGo67 | Beyecixramd: hplip doesn't help. :( | 23:18 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Slart: i love awk! | 23:18 |
| Sir_Konrad | so when I hook up my TV to my Ubuntu Home Theater system, will Ubuntu pick up the TV automatically when I put the TV in PC Mode? | 23:18 |
| jrr | can I encrypt the home dir of just one user? | 23:18 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: why exactly? is your USB cable in working order and all that? | 23:18 |
| mjrdelgado | I think Ubuntu 10.4 has a bug. It disconnects the wlan all teh time | 23:19 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: if hplip doesn't work, try rebooting both pc and printer, try replugging in the USB cable, otherwise, you will probably never get it to work | 23:19 |
| musturd | I need to do more parsing though eventually, this is just the first step --> which is why awk seems good | 23:19 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: a workaround would be to install VirtualBox with the appropiate drivers | 23:19 |
| LetsGo67 | Beyecixramd: I got the HP popup, then it froze. How do I get it back? | 23:19 |
| meglio | Hi guys. Can anyone help me with ubuntu server installation in expert mode? I have installed it but it does not boot at all... | 23:19 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: what froze? what popup? | 23:19 |
| sebsebseb | meglio: try #ubuntu-server | 23:19 |
| Riviera | musturd: then consider asking the real question. There are btw ##sed and #awk | 23:20 |
| meglio | thanks, I'll try! | 23:20 |
| Sir_Konrad | Help please? | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | meglio: np | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Sir_Konrad | 23:20 |
| ubottu | Sir_Konrad: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 23:20 |
| jwerth | anyone know, on laptops, how to swap the multi-tap gestures? I'm used to double-tap being middle-click and triple-tap being right click, but Ubuntu has it the other way around... | 23:20 |
| Sir_Konrad | sebsebseb: I've already asked twice! | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | Sir_Konrad: nevermind | 23:20 |
| jwerth | I figure there is a config file that needs editing, but I haven't found it | 23:20 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 23:20 |
| sebsebseb | Sir_Konrad: yeah just saw you had already typed something here | 23:20 |
| Sir_Konrad | sebsebseb: ok. Do you know the answer? | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: you have already been here a while, so your not getting a yo or hello from me this time :D | 23:21 |
| LetsGo67 | Beyecixramd: popup to install HP drivers. | 23:21 |
| musturd | Riviera: Well, I want to try to figure out most of the text parsing myself, it's this one problem I'm having trouble with. I'll try #awk though | 23:21 |
| ActionParsnip | i came back ;) | 23:21 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: ok just saw the re join, but even so | 23:21 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: hmmmm... have you already started up hplip? | 23:22 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip: do you know the answer to my question? | 23:22 |
| Beyecixramd | LetsGo67: launch it from the apps menu | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Sir_Konrad: what is the question? | 23:22 |
| compengi | iceroot, this didn't help much, i've read that before but i'm still confused between the variables in /etc/default/grub; i think either GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT or GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX or maybe something else? | 23:22 |
| ChrisWoollard | So when is the WebM / VP8 coodec going to make it into Ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ChrisWoollard: is it out yet? | 23:22 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip: so when I hook up my TV to my Ubuntu Home Theater system, will Ubuntu pick up the TV automatically when I put the TV in PC Mode? | 23:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Sir_Konrad: what cale connects te 2? | 23:22 |
| ChrisWoollard | Yes. | 23:22 |
| sebsebseb | Sir_Konrad: no, but I guess its a try and find out | 23:22 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ChrisWoollard: url? | 23:22 |
| ChrisWoollard | one moment | 23:23 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip: what? | 23:23 |
| afancy | hi, i use apt-get to install package, which directory the package is saved? thanks | 23:23 |
| Slart | musturd: here's some sed for you =) echo "I like to walk all day" | sed -r 's/.*walk ([A-Za-z]+) .*/\1/' | 23:23 |
| GeekSquid | ChrisWoollard: They just announced WebM, the toolkit is avaliable, I am sure somebody will compile it soon | 23:23 |
| afancy | hi, | 23:23 |
| Slart | musturd: it can probably be improved in all kinds of ways.. but it works | 23:23 |
| tarzeau-ppc | YAY! | 23:23 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip: what cable connects the two? | 23:23 |
| sebsebseb | Sir_Konrad: I think Ubuntu can probably detect the TV insted of a monitor, as long as things are set up ok | 23:23 |
| ChrisWoollard | I know it is already built into a test version of opera / firefox | 23:23 |
| tarzeau-ppc | adobe is sooooooo pissed off. and i'm sooooooo happy | 23:23 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ChrisWoollard: that's so great! | 23:23 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: lol@apple | 23:23 |
| afancy | could anyboddy know where is the downloaded packages saved?? | 23:23 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip and sebsebseb: It's using VGA | 23:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Sir_Konrad: how do you connect the tv to the pc, what cable is used. I thought that was plain | 23:23 |
| musturd | Slart: thanks a lot! I'll keep the awk question pending in #awk just in case, though | 23:24 |
| GeekSquid | afancy: /var/cache/apt/archives | 23:24 |
| Sir_Konrad | It's a VGA cable. | 23:24 |
| jwerth | Sir_Konrad: it should, yes. I've done it a bunch of times for projectors with presentations without trouble. If it doesn't switch over on its own, you can try going to Administration-->Preferences-->Monitors and it will give you the option | 23:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Sir_Konrad: then it will just be seen as a monitor after a reboot | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: Adobe is better than Microsoft | 23:24 |
| LetsGo67 | Beyecixramd: Getting there. | 23:24 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: nooooo | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | techhelper1: yes | 23:24 |
| Slart | musturd: I think awk might be a better tool in the long run.. especially if you'll be doing a lot of stuff like this.. | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | techhelper1: uh not you | 23:24 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: yes | 23:24 |
| Sir_Konrad | ActionParsnip and jwerth: Ok, thanks! | 23:24 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: both suck! | 23:24 |
| tarzeau-ppc | equally | 23:25 |
| ChrisWoollard | http://www.webmproject.org/tools/vp8-sdk/index.html | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: well yeah both suck really, but also Apple | 23:25 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: i want the source for Flash. Only then, Adobe will be better than M$ :) | 23:25 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: nooooooo well apple yes, but not NeXT | 23:25 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: i hate jobs for breaking nextstep/openstep so much | 23:25 |
| ChrisWoollard | Also adobe are putting it in flash | 23:25 |
| ChrisWoollard | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/05/19/adobe_html5_pack/ | 23:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: +1 dude | 23:25 |
| tarzeau-ppc | he should've just kicked out all the old mac os junk | 23:25 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: I want proggrammers from all over the world to have access to Windows games source code, only then will they be better than current open source games maybe :D | 23:26 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: and ipod/iphone junk too dud | 23:26 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: and sony playstation 1, 2 games! | 23:26 |
| xnox | i just want directx & windows 7 source code | 23:26 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ActionParsnip: i don't care. but NeXTSTEP was one fine system | 23:26 |
| * azbr00 wonders if he accidentally went into the offtopic room | 23:26 | |
| tarzeau-ppc | ActionParsnip: did you work with the lighthouse applications? | 23:26 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: ALL HAIL TO NEXUIZ, and openarena, and teeworld, and Penumbra, and alienarena, and secret maryo chronicles, and SuperTux, and so on and so on :D | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: sure and that, but yet there's this idea that Linux gaming sucks, even though really it's the propritary games that suck since they are closed source. and azbr00 has a point, this is off topic | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: not at all | 23:27 |
| courtni | can anyone tell me why my computer mighrt have started running soooo slow recently? | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: indeed :) | 23:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: some proprietary games have linux installers ;) | 23:27 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: sudo apt-get install *that-game-which-rocks* | 23:27 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: sauerbraten is nice, there's a few goodies. but really most suck because of horrible graphics and sound sometimes also gameplay | 23:27 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: well yeah those are alright, but not that many of those sadly :( | 23:27 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: there's not one single great bomberman for linux | 23:27 |
| Beyecixramd | ActionParsnip: world of goo, quake 3, etc | 23:27 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: dos/amiga, demoscene THEY had great games/graphics/sound | 23:28 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: let's rely on MAME then :) | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Beyecixramd: doom3, return to castle wolfenstein | 23:28 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: also great code, but that wasn't released as free software | 23:28 |
| tarzeau-ppc | Beyecixramd: won't work | 23:28 |
| Beyecixramd | ActionParsnip: aah, true | 23:28 |
| bodom | start mysql hangs. Can anybody please help me? | 23:28 |
| * BluesKaj wishes there was a#linux-games chat | 23:28 | |
| bp0 | how can i make the middle button scroll with mouse movement like windows? | 23:28 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: your favourite games? | 23:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Beyecixramd: penumbra is also a great game but costs and is VERY worth it | 23:28 |
| tarzeau-ppc | mine are: world of goo, bubnbros, jumpnbump, nethack, sauerbraten, lemmings++ | 23:28 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: not much of a gamer, so I tend to quite like most of the games from the Ubuntu repo's well stuff like kapman and Tetris and yeah | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: you can make it, freenode supports channel spawning | 23:29 |
| Beyecixramd | ActionParsnip: ooh didn't saw the news? Penumbra is now FLOSS, seriously :) | 23:29 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: try bubnbros hex-a-hop jumpnbump :) | 23:29 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: halflife2, frets on fire, openttd :) | 23:29 |
| K-19 | bp0 : what man? | 23:29 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: aaah i forgot the great Sauerbraten | 23:29 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: the games similar to Worms are good as well, but Worms itself :) except being propritary and no native Linux version. | 23:29 |
| Beyecixramd | tarzeau-ppc: and also Warsow :) | 23:29 |

| bp0 | K-19, in windows firefox, and most apps, the middle button enters a mode where moving the mouse scrolls the windows in any direction | 23:30 |
| bp0 | how can i set that up in linux? | 23:31 |
| tarzeau-ppc | fine piece anyways, although it doesn't support network play, nor the chess openings known in gnu chess. yeah fics support is missing badly | 23:31 |

| Slart | 00:26 * BluesKaj wishes there was a#linux-games chat | 23:31 |
| Slart | 00:26 < bp0> how can i make the middle button scroll with mouse movement like windows? | 23:31 |

| Slart | 00:26 < tarzeau-ppc> sebsebseb: your favourite games? | 23:31 |
| Slart | 00:27 < ActionParsnip> Beyecixramd: penumbra is also a great game but costs and is VERY worth it | 23:31 |
| Beyecixramd | bye bye Slart | 23:31 |
| sebsebseb | Slart: why you copying stuff in? | 23:31 |
| ^_Just|n_^ | WoW. I have never seen a channel with this many users in my life. Holy crap!!! | 23:31 |
| ^_Just|n_^ | I feel bad for the bot. | 23:31 |
| tarzeau-ppc | sebsebseb: slipped with the paste mouse button? | 23:31 |
| K-19 | bp0 : Here also you can do the same things ; nothing different in scrolling activity. | 23:31 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ^_Just|n_^: i have never seen such a horrible nickname like yours | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | ^_Just|n_^: luckly not everyone that comes in here chats all at the same time or nearly all at same time, in fact most people that come in here, I never even see chat in here | 23:32 |

| ARandomNub | Hey =D! Am I going to encounter any problems using Wubi w/ RAID0? | 23:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: brutalchess looks amazing, wow | 23:32 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: i tried wubi once. SUCKED big time | 23:32 |
| bp0 | K-19, yes, in linux the middle button means paste url and go in firefox | 23:32 |
| sebsebseb | tarzeau-ppc: yeah ^_Just|n_^ 's name is a bit nasty for auto complete | 23:32 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ActionParsnip: using mm3d it's easy to edit the model files | 23:32 |
| bp0 | i would rather have the ability to scroll | 23:32 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: yup | 23:32 |
| ^_Just|n_^ | loll | 23:33 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ActionParsnip: i've once tried higher resolution/more detailed ones, but it got pretty slow, but that was a few years back | 23:33 |
| ^_Just|n_^ | Imagina identifying everytime | 23:33 |
| ARandomNub | tarzeau-ppc: I have a spare 500 GB Drive which isn't a RAID Member, would I still get dualboot if I made the partition in Wubi for Ubuntu, even if it's on a spare HDD? | 23:33 |
| ^_Just|n_^ | loll | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: yup @ what? | 23:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tarzeau-ppc: very impressed | 23:33 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: the autocompletion name | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: ok | 23:33 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: just make it real linux partitions? preferably with xfs? | 23:33 |
| Roasted | How is it possible I can have ZERO issues connecting to several WPA + WPA2 secured wireless networks, but one of the 8 buildings at work I am unable to connect to? I tried NM and WICD. The PW and credentials are correct. Basic WPA network. Yet I can't connect. I don't understand it. | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: on the other hand a name like that is hard to mess up, when it comes to auto complete, and then get someone else by mistake instead | 23:33 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: mine is hard to mess up too :D | 23:34 |
| K-19 | bp0 : Mouse (Hardware) !!! | 23:34 |
| Beyecixramd | type in beyec and you won't find anyone like me | 23:34 |
| ARandomNub | tarzeau-ppc: It's got a ton of irreplaceable backed up work. I've been using Wubi for a while - I just want to know if I'll get the dualboot option if it's on the spare drive. | 23:34 |
| bp0 | K-19? what? it is a generic scrollwheel mouse | 23:34 |
| jwerth | anyone know, on laptops, how to swap the multi-tap gestures? I'm used to double-tap being middle-click and triple-tap being right click, but Ubuntu has it the other way around. I haven't found the right config file.. | 23:34 |
| bp0 | nothing special | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: normally I do the first letter and hit tab, right now yours is the one it auto completes | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: however that just changed | 23:35 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: ???!! one letter? damn crazy :P | 23:35 |
| Kentrel | I can't get amarok to work with the Play media key on my keyboard. It detects the Forward and Back with no problem | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: yeah or two letters, depends | 23:35 |
| BluesKaj | Roasted, I have to state the obvious , but maybe the admins changed the wpa pw | 23:35 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: i'd setup a 2nd real linux box, copy it all over with rsync -av here/ over:/there/ | 23:35 |

| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: i type in the first 3 letters, or 4 | 23:35 |
| Roasted | BluesKaj, nope. XP works fine with putting the PW in. Yet my laptop does not. | 23:36 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: ...aand... offtopic | 23:36 |
| Beyecixramd | :) | 23:36 |
| ARandomNub | tarzeau-ppc: So you wouldn't advise it? | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | Beyecixramd: maybe three or four sometimes, anyway we are off topic now | 23:36 |
| Beyecixramd | sebsebseb: exactly | 23:36 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: no i wouldn't because to mount wubi partitions is painful | 23:36 |
| Mark____ | hey anybody know to fix a wireless connection network problem? | 23:36 |
| Roasted | BluesKaj, I work in IT. I work on the wireless @ this building. Im not the network admin but that kind of info Im required to know. The credentials were changed, yet my laptop backfires. Its frsutrating because WICD says its a bad PW, yet Im typing it in the same as I do with XP and XP works. | 23:36 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: actually, not that i tried a lot, but i failed trying once or twice | 23:36 |
| K-19 | bp0 : System-Preferences-mouse | 23:36 |
| tarzeau-ppc | ARandomNub: but maybe it's just because i got many computers around anyways | 23:36 |
| ARandomNub | tarzeau-ppc: Ha, well, Wubi's always worked nicely for me, on one HDD, I dunno if it'll work so-well on my spare HDD :) | 23:37 |
| ARandomNub | tarzeau-ppc: I guess it's trial and error. =D | 23:37 |
| tarzeau-ppc | it's slow | 23:37 |
| Mark____ | arandomnub: does your wifi work on wubi? | 23:37 |

| Roasted | BluesKaj, that may be true - but what's network manager's excuse? | 23:38 |

| blathat | cannot open display you say... | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | SlayerQuad93: wireless can be a bit ticky to configure in Ubuntu, espesaily when newbie. Also sometimes wireless that didn't just work in Ubuntu does in another distro, but there are things you can try in Ubuntu, before thinking more about trying one of those. | 23:46 |
| sebsebseb | SlayerQuad93: Are you sure the driver installed ok, and is the correct driver? | 23:47 |

| sebsebseb | SlayerQuad93: I don't tend to try and help with wireless issues. right so well might need to put in some details for the wireless. Also if you got issues with a native driver you can try a Windows driver with Ndiswrapper. | 23:48 |
