| Coded1 | any one having problems with acpi? I was running 9.10 and after an update last week my box would become unresponsive after not being used for 30 mins, must have been sleep since I never set it to hibernate (and it never has over the past year) then after restarting I would get kernel panics on boot up. Descided to try 10.04 and now it boots much faster but again when it sleeps / goes to low power it doesnt come back | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Coded1 | . any suggestions? | 00:00 |

| ubottu | wild_bat: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 00:00 |
| hookworm24 | bastid_raZor, How do i do that? | 00:00 |
| wild_bat | bastid_raZor, thanks | 00:00 |

| mickster04 | !nick | wyatt | 00:01 |
| ubottu | wyatt: Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use /nick newnick), or it creates a lot of confusion. You should also !register your nick with Freenode. | 00:01 |
| mickster04 | urgh not what i wanted | 00:01 |
| bastid_raZor | hookworm24: in synaptic search for linux-image and uninstal the newer kernel you have.. i assume it is 2.6.32-22 | 00:01 |
| mickster04 | wyatt: basically use nicks of who you talk to, otherwise i dont see you talking to me | 00:01 |
| mickster04 | wyatt: however i can't help you sorry | 00:01 |
| bastid_raZor | wild_bat: good luck | 00:02 |

| ubottu | btr: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 00:03 |

| DocSnyd3r | Identifier "Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XP4m32" fixed it for me in ubuntu but this file does not exist in xubuntu to which i changed to save memory | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | respire: put Ubuntu Live CD in, access the partition, and get hold of the data? | 00:06 |
| drakeman | octuoa, thanks | 00:06 |
| respire | i dont have the cd | 00:06 |
| respire | can i do it from grub? | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | respire: uhmm well | 00:06 |
| barbarella | respire:fist of all, have you got a backup media? | 00:06 |
| respire | sebsebseb, im just going to dd the whole disk into an encyrpted file into a hd a friend lent me for now | 00:06 |
| respire | then fix later | 00:06 |
| sebsebseb | respire: you can boot up Ubuntu from Grub from the partition, if it lets you | 00:07 |
| respire | barbarella, no | 00:07 |
| uRock | That is a shame, I just threw away like 30 LiveCDs the other day. | 00:07 |

| juanca | I have Ubuntu Lucid in a box with an LG flatron monitor, but I can't get the max. resolution available... it seems this is a problem with the drivers because Avant Window navigator can't display transparency, what can i do? | 00:07 |
| respire | barbarella, i cant keep this drive | 00:08 |
| === jesus is now known as Guest21376 | ||

| Wicked | hello all. any ideas why my mouse would start acting weird all of a sudden?...been logged into gnome for a few days now...and just about a hour or so ago my mouse started to act weird...its not smooth and it does not respond like it did before...its jerky when moving | 00:08 |
| bytenik | I'm having an issue where having a certain USB device plugged in on boot causes grub to freeze at Loading stage2, and I'm not sure where to beginto troubleshoot. Can someone help? | 00:08 |
| uRock | Wicked, have you tried cleaning it? | 00:08 |
| barbarella | respire:have you bought a new disk? | 00:09 |
| Wicked | uRock, yes. it seems to be something related to software | 00:09 |
| dave | hello | 00:09 |
| === AGNTBAB is now known as Agent_Babb | ||
| uRock | bytenik, it is normal for a system to lock up during boot if a thumb drive or such is plugged in | 00:09 |
| respire | This is my question for ubuntu experts: http://pastebin.com/YRq8Cjw2 | 00:09 |
| === dave is now known as Guest16782 | ||
| respire | barbarella, I will be of course, please we cant keep doing this more of my drive is dying | 00:10 |
| bytenik | uRock: I need this device connected... can I tell grub to ignore it? | 00:10 |
| respire | look at pastebin answer if you can and i will love you lots | 00:10 |
| uRock | I doubt it. Just plug it in after boot up | 00:10 |
| juanca | I have ntfs partitions in different hard disks, but in the network I can only access folders in the ubuntu partition, I can see other folders (in the ntfs partition) but it says it can not be mounted... | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: sudo apt-get install grub-pc. grub2 is smarter when it comes to drive numbers / order changing. | 00:11 |
| Guest16782 | hello | 00:11 |
| bytenik | uRock: This computer is being located remotely | 00:11 |
| juanca | <Guest16782: | 00:11 |
| bytenik | I'd be happy to just have grub ignore all usb altogether -- is that possible? | 00:11 |
| Sonsee | juanca enough permissions? | 00:11 |
| Guest16782 | hows it going everyone? | 00:11 |
| juanca | Guest16782: just ask your question | 00:11 |
| DocSnyd3r | nobody on the resolution thing? i got ubuntu working after hours but xubuntu has different config files | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | respire: you didn't need to pate bin that | 00:11 |
| barbarella | respire:how do you want to use grub if your system is broken? | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: The BIOS exposes all disks the same way, there is no way in the bootloader to differentiate between internal and USB drives. | 00:12 |
| mezen | Sorry for repeating my question about nautilus. How to make view auto refresh ? I can not see file size increasing while downloading it. Is this behavior normal ? | 00:12 |
| uRock | bytenik, maybe Jordan_U's idea wil work. | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | respire: Got another computer? Got a uhmmm 1GB or so USB stick? | 00:12 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: So if I disable USB boot, that'll do it? | 00:12 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: (in the bios) | 00:12 |
| erpingham | DocSnyd3r: the trend on all the newer varieties of Ubuntu is to not include any xorg.conf file | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: Likely, yes. | 00:13 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: That might just be the easiest way... let me give it a shot and I'll let you know. | 00:13 |
| DocSnyd3r | hmm thanks a have a working xconf file where to put this information now? | 00:13 |
| respire | i dont know squat about grub2 which key makes it appear and can i use a kernel arg to tell it to boot single user with the root filesys mounted RO | 00:13 |
| DocSnyd3r | a = i | 00:14 |
| barbarella | respire:sebsebseb has a good point, do you have a usb stick so you can put ubuntu on it? | 00:14 |
| erpingham | DocSnyd3r: put your last known working xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ | 00:14 |
| respire | barbarella, no i have nothing except this IDE drive i ripped from kind friend PC | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | DocSnyd3r: Still /etc/X11/xorg.conf (there is just no xorg.conf needed or made with a fresh install) | 00:14 |
| Jordan_U | respire: Hold shift | 00:14 |
| respire | this used to be so easy before LVM and cryptsetup | 00:14 |
| respire | argh | 00:14 |
| DocSnyd3r | okay then reboot? | 00:14 |
| respire | now i know why people by MS | 00:15 |
| juanca | Sonsee: What I did with the folders was: right click > share > and checked both "allow writing" and "guest access" | 00:15 |
| Yomic | When signing on as the main user I set up (10.04) I am unable to use many features like shutdown (the button is greyed out on ctrl+alt+del screen) unless I do it with sudo in console. | 00:15 |
| respire | Jordan_U, it asks for root pass but continues to boot normally | 00:15 |
| respire | and / is read write | 00:15 |
| juanca | Sonsee: But that only works with folders in the linux partition | 00:15 |
| erpingham | DocSnyd3r: Rebooting would be fine. | 00:16 |
| Sonsee | juanca how did you set up the share? which way? | 00:16 |
| respire | ill have to accept a read write / soon but i will try few more minutes to get it ro | 00:16 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: No go... but I also boot to SUSE and I don't believe it supports grub2 yet | 00:16 |
| DocSnyd3r | ok will report back thanks so far | 00:16 |
| respire | the data i am losing is important i was very stupid and didnt back it up | 00:16 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: If you install grub2 in Ubuntu it will automatically detect and add entries for SUSE | 00:16 |
| tomatto_ | hi | 00:17 |
| tomatto_ | please, how can i boot ubuntu livecd via grub? | 00:17 |
| juanca | Sonsee: right click, sharing options... it asked me to install something and I did.. after that I could share like in Windows... as I said before right click > share > and checked both "allow writing" and "guest access" | 00:17 |
| sebsebseb | tomatto_: you don't normalley | 00:17 |
| Sonsee | tomatto_ just boot from cd or usb stick, much simplier | 00:17 |
| eddvrs | tomatto_: you shouldn't have to go through grub. just start PC with liveCD in the drive | 00:18 |
| Sonsee | juanca google samba | 00:18 |
| Jordan_U | respire: First try adding "single" to the kernel parameter list in in grub, if that doesn't work then a really ugly hack around is to add "init=/bin/bash" instead. | 00:18 |
| tomatto_ | eddvrs: i haven't drive | 00:18 |
| Sonsee | juanca that will work | 00:18 |
| bytenik | I don't understand the issue here with Grub Legacy anyway -- wouldn't a drive numbering issue happen much much later? | 00:18 |
| eddvrs | tomatto_: lol- a fair point. | 00:18 |
| juanca | Sonsee: Isn't this "smb:// " samba? | 00:18 |
| Sonsee | juanca yes | 00:19 |
| tomatto_ | eddvrs: i need to know, how boot livecd via grub, can you help me with? | 00:19 |
| Sonsee | juanca it is | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: Why would you think that? grub needs to be able to read files from the filesystem, so it needs to find that filesystem first. | 00:19 |

| rj45 | sup guys, why cant i click on stuff in flash? (ubuntu 10.04 64-bit) | 00:19 |
| respire | Jordan_U, thank you my man | 00:19 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: Wait, location of the system with grub installed on it is hard-coded into the MBR? | 00:19 |
| Yomic | How can I troubleshoot why I cannot shutdown in 10.04 without using sudo in a console (ie. the GUI shutdown button is greyed out and I am denied access to change any "user and groups" settings) | 00:19 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: Also, make sure the problem isn't as simple as there being a broken grub installation on the USB drive (and the USB drive is first in the boot order causing that broken install to be used) | 00:20 |
| Sonsee | tomatto_ do you want to load ISO via grub or what? | 00:20 |
| tomatto_ | sebsebseb: i am, but i need to solve it | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: In grub legacy, yes. grub2 uses UUIDs. | 00:20 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: The device in question is a cellular modem with drivers on ROM-based USB mass-storage. So it shouldn't be bootable anyway, but even if it is I have no control over the content. | 00:20 |
| tomatto_ | Sonsee: iso or something to load livecd via grub | 00:21 |
| Jordan_U | tomatto_: Are you talking about a physical CD or an iso file on the hard drive? | 00:21 |
| DocSnyd3r | it worked! thank you | 00:22 |
| Sonsee | tomatto_ there is no sence doing so. Use usb stick, make it bootable and load live cd | 00:22 |
| erpingham | DocSnyd3r: Excellent! | 00:22 |
| DocSnyd3r | should have tried this n hour ago | 00:22 |
| tomatto_ | Sonsee: i prefer grub. it is possible to load via grub no isolinux? | 00:22 |
| tomatto_ | Jordan_U: iso file | 00:22 |

| Coded1 | Jordan_U, it says I must specify a PID | 00:27 |
| DocSnyd3r | about the same, close to nothing but xubuntu should only require 190 i read | 00:27 |
| {coolface} | Poof! | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | tomatto_: Not easily (you would have to extract the kernel and initrd yourself since grub legacy can't read iso files). | 00:27 |
| Jordan_U | Coded1: The guided bug reporting is relatively new. Are you using Ubuntu 10.04? | 00:28 |

| skippuff54 | anyone know anything about gxine? | 00:40 |
| ks3 | hey_joe, skippuff54: The server install uses a different kernel configuration | 00:40 |
| hey_joe | server was my original choice... but according to this source > http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=printpage;topic=4595.0 > it is something to do with the server install. he suggests the kernel is the problem. | 00:41 |
| linxeh | maybe I misread :) | 00:41 |
| hey_joe | maybe the support for the platform compiled in? | 00:41 |
| skippuff54 | hey_joe, ks3 thanks for the clarification | 00:41 |
| Kasm279 | what driver would i install for the NVidia GeForce 6200 LE? (Kubuntu 9.10) | 00:41 |
| skippuff54 | anyone know why gxine would crash my whole desktop after an upgrade to 10.04? | 00:41 |
| hey_joe | k3: how about the minimal install? is it the desktop kernel .config or the server .config? | 00:42 |
| vbitz | why would there be a unhandled exption that does not result in any problem | 00:42 |
| Belha | so ornys ? | 00:42 |
| amine | hey | 00:42 |
| xnockout | (help) does anyone know audio editor like cool edit in windows.. ??? what the name is on ubuntu? | 00:42 |
| vbitz | i was thinking that thay always resulted in a kernal panic | 00:42 |
| ks3 | hey_joe: 99% sure all other install methods use the same kernel | 00:42 |
| skippuff54 | xnockout you could try audacity | 00:42 |
| Belha | im now connected with windows :s need to be in ubuntu | 00:42 |
| amine | I am running Wubi updates, and it is asking me: Continue without installing GRUB? when attempting to install grub-pc (1.98-1ubuntu6), what should I do? | 00:42 |
| hey_joe | skippuff54: the installation would always finish.. however the kernel config was wrong. so it wouldn't *boot* | 00:42 |
| bytenik | This may be naive of me, but why can't grub just look for stage2 on the disk it was loaded from? | 00:43 |
| bytenik | Doesn't it know which disk's MBR invoked it? | 00:43 |

| Belha | ornys are you there ? | 00:43 |
| xnockout | skippuff54, Others?? like cool edit... | 00:43 |
| hey_joe | ks3: one last question, what is it about the kernel config. would it be just as thin, if i did the minimal install? i think its just the fact that the box has the amd k6 in it.. maybe server doesn't default to include support for older chips? | 00:44 |
| btr | typo: skippfuff54 -> xnockout | 00:44 |
| ornys | belha yes, check realtek website they have a linux driver | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: It does, if /boot is on the same drive as the mbr grub is installed to (but unfotunatly the drive number supplied by the BIOS is sometimes wrong with buggy BIOSs) | 00:44 |
| Belha | i got the driver | 00:44 |
| Grujah | xknockout, I agree on Audiacity | 00:44 |
| Belha | and i installed it | 00:44 |
| skippuff54 | xnockout i am not familiar with cooledit, i just suggested audacity cause that is what i use. if you notic btr suggests Ardour | 00:44 |
| egelor | can i observe my forum account from ubuntu Server? | 00:44 |
| Grujah | You have Audiacity on Windows also, its the same | 00:44 |
| ornys | belha didnt work ? | 00:45 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: Lets assume for a second my bios isn't buggy (*crosses fingers* :)... how would I tell GRUB to just look in partition X on the drive its invoked from? | 00:45 |

| punto | Hi. I just updated to 10.04 and I don't have keyboard on X, only the console, how do I fix it? | 00:46 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: I don't know with grub legacy. Is there a reason you don't want to upgrade to grub2? It's the default in Ubuntu and upgrading is easy. | 00:46 |
| pokeh | has anyone had Gnome-Do sort of crash about 15 seconds into a reboot? | 00:46 |
| hey_joe | i think i am just going to not minimize desktop for only the cli, and just go with the minimal install. however, there will be ethernet drivers available during install.. so does it *have* to install from internet repositories? | 00:46 |
| RobotCow | I am trying to set up a linux computer to receive internet from through another computer. On the computer receiving the shared internet through a crossover cable, the gui will not will not allow me to save the settings, thought I believe I have everything put in. I tried both dchp, which I can run a dhcp server, but i prefer to have the static ip info setup, and it's now allowing me to save. Why not? | 00:46 |
| ks3 | hey_joe: You should get the same kernel with the minimal install, what you won't get is most of the packages that would be in a stock install. The server kernel differences are mainly to do with the different workload on a server - better virtualization support, no tweaks to improve desktop app responsiveness, etc. | 00:46 |
| hey_joe | [will not be ethernet drivers] | 00:46 |
| pokeh | Does anyone know how to map the "Show Desktop" function to an extra mouse button? | 00:46 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: Yea, this system is a dual boot with Ubuntu just for testing but the rest of the systems are just SUSE, which doesn't have package support for grub2. | 00:46 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: I'm trying to avoid having to hack together solutions for this particular project. Otherwise I'd still be on Ubuntu for the entire deployment, but sadly it lacks mono-2.6 package support. | 00:47 |
| jrib | pokeh: wmctrl and one of: xbindkeys, imwheel, or ccsm to configure keybindns | 00:47 |
| xnockout | skippuff54,grujah .. i can playing with same time on audacity.. any other suggestion? | 00:47 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: Since you're using grub from SUSE you should probably ask in #suse | 00:47 |
| hey_joe | ks3: i wont need virtualization on the amd k6-266 :-), nor will it have a desktop. i think minimal, then i can add my daemons one at a time | 00:47 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: They're all dead over there. :P | 00:47 |
| unop | xnockout, ardour perhaps | 00:47 |
| hey_joe | kinda like a gentoo install would be best. but a nice shell prompt after a cd install is always nice. | 00:47 |
| hey_joe | thank you guys | 00:48 |
| bytenik | Jordan_U: I do get your point, though I do want to try to get a general enough solution for any distribution. | 00:48 |
| ornys | belha, did you try the ubuntu forums if someone is having the same problem? and if it was solved? and better would be to google for the laptop model or name and the kernel version you are running, i m sorry i couldnt help you more | 00:48 |
| Belha | ok ornys thank you anyway man | 00:49 |

| tonyb_ | Hello! | 00:51 |
| xnockout | dddw, what your problem? | 00:52 |
| dddw | I cannot right click the items on my desktop... quite annoying if you want to delete an file | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | bytenik: The problem is that there aren't many people who know the internals of grub legacy very well since it no longer has any upstream, and it doesn't give very helpfull error messages most of the time (when grub2 is not able to find /boot you still have a rescue shell and can list drives / turn on debug output). If you really need to be able to boot with this USB drive in maybe you could boot with super grub2 disk. | 00:53 |
| yaxomoxay | dddw can you right click inside apps such as openoffice ? | 00:53 |
| tonyb_ | So, I got drivers installed, when I run dmesg the Xbox 360 controller appears, which is awesome. So I decide to try out qjoypad. "The procedure is soooo simple, just ./config" what does that mean? | 00:53 |
| hey_joe | well crap, i don't have drivers available until after install, cause its a crappy hack. will the minimal install, install a base without a connection? then i can do the driver, and add repositories right? | 00:53 |
| xnockout | dddw, shift+del | 00:53 |
| hey_joe | things freakin 13mb | 00:53 |
| hey_joe | itsy | 00:53 |
| tonyb_ | Hey guys, when a readme tells you to ./config what does that mean? | 00:53 |
| dddw | yaxomoxay, yes, it works everywhere else, only the desktop doesn´t work... it did when I installed 10.04 couple of weeks ago | 00:53 |

I'm currently having issues with Samba (didn't on Ubuntu 9.10; this is a fresh 10.04 install), because I currently need to modify the smb.conf file myself, and add the share. Also, it just won't cut it to add guest support (availability, browse-able, and all that), but I also have to use the "force user = " line in order for the share fold | 01:03 |

| Hawaiian_Eskimo | the update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults deal didn't work. still not coming up on system boot. | 01:49 |
| greezmunkey | funkyHat: Here's a "stupid" question...What about compression of an excrypted volume on backup, is that an issue? | 01:49 |
| funkyHat | greezmunkey: it might be | 01:50 |
| acerimmer | baba_b00ie: we've got the same machine specs. | 01:50 |
| greezmunkey | funkyHat: that's what I'm thinking...I'll look into that. | 01:50 |
| baba_b00ie | ah, well unless one of us did some upgrades hehe | 01:50 |
| funkyHat | greezmunkey: I tend not to like compressing my backups anyway | 01:50 |
| brax | How can I unmount my flash drive? | 01:51 |
| Guest86692 | what's the url to fix the reversed toolbar buttons? | 01:51 |
| funkyHat | brax: go to Places > computer and right click on the icon for the flash drive | 01:51 |
| acerimmer | baba_b00ie: i've got buyer's remorse with this particular purchase. but all things considered, it could have been worse. Nice thing is I can always boot one of the others OS's. Should have waited for one of the new "I" series computers | 01:51 |
| baba_b00ie | acerimmer, another thing i noticed is how the wm response to window focus. you havce to hit title bar vs anywere within the window. ubuntu/gnome never did that before 10.04 | 01:51 |

| Jordan_U | wild_bat: grub2 runs fine in cygwin | 01:53 |
| wild_bat | tomatto_, my usb is ntfs | 01:53 |
| zacktu | funkyhat: I would be content to have the backup to my NAS not be encrypted. Guess I think of encryption as protection in case I lose my laptop away from home. Maybe I should read more about what I've gotten into by agreeing to encryption of /home when I installed Lucid. | 01:53 |
| Jordan_U | wild_bat: And there must be a way to install it without cygwin as well, since wubi does. | 01:54 |
| courtni | hello how do you make an unexecutible bit executible. i went to the website but thhe instructions are unclear (i'm trying to play flyff) | 01:54 |

| tomatto_ | wild_bat: what is in your directory /bootimg/ubuntu.10.4.x86/ ? | 01:54 |
| funkyHat | zacktu: ah I see. I was thinking backing up the non-encrypted version makes no sense. when do you get the errors, all the time, or is it a cron job which runs the backup? | 01:55 |
| Sonsee | Hawaiian_Eskimo, just try to read a little about it, ok? about sudo, update-rc.d and the rc,local file | 01:55 |
| Cynthia | Sensiva: Mark yourself as affected by this bug, and provide input -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/560637 | 01:55 |
| Sonsee | Hawaiian_Eskimo, you can use sudo command to run from everyone | 01:55 |
| greezmunkey | funkyHat: Heh, I said it was a stupid question! As far as compressing live data vs. encrypted data, it is treated the same. I also found backup programs that can encrypt the backup itself, wether it was encrypted to start with or not! | 01:55 |
| Sensiva | Cynthia thank you | 01:56 |
| Jordan_U | Sensiva: Looks like the dust theme (System > Preferences > Appearance) with the window controlls on the right. | 01:56 |

| funkyHat | zacktu: can you pastebin the output so I can see the errors in full? | 01:58 |
| Smeh | Greezmunkey : no, but i can get it there in no time at all.. | 01:59 |
| Typos_King | Smeh: thought yet about giving it a -> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg; ? in 'recovery' mode | 01:59 |
| greezmunkey | Smeh: press ctrl+alt+F2 - see if it takes you to a text based login. | 01:59 |
| funkyHat | greezmunkey: I would imagine encrypting a text file has an effect on how well it can be compressed though... but then I think encryption routines often perform compression as a matter of course | 01:59 |
| Smeh | what is "recovery" mode? i'm already in a text based login. I don't even know if this is normal, however, i'm using the "alternate" iso, and it doesn't start with an Xorg gui.. it boots to a text login | 02:00 |
| funkyHat | greezmunkey: this conversation is getting a bit off topic though ⢁) | 02:00 |
| tomatto_ | wild_bat: because viewed mismash on the screen instead of gnome | 02:00 |
| Jordan_U | wild_bat: If you want to create a boot USB for booting iso files you can use any dd like tool to copy super grub2 disk to a USB drive. It contains a script that will detect loop bootable isos (at boot time) in /boot-isos/ and make menu entries for them. | 02:00 |
| zacktu | funkyhat: Don't have the output right now. If you're going to be here a while, I'll try it again. | 02:00 |
| greezmunkey | funkyHat: agreed. | 02:00 |
| funkyHat | Smeh: recovery mode is single user mode, less services are started etc. | 02:00 |
| wild_bat | tomatto_, may be you should use alternate cd for install then~ | 02:00 |
| Smeh | I see | 02:00 |
| funkyHat | zacktu: I'm always here, I won't necessarily reply very promptly though | 02:00 |
| johni | I have two monitors and after the upgrade to 10.4 new windows do not open anymore on the screen with the mouse pointer. Can somebody please help me find the problem? | 02:01 |
| tomatto_ | wild_bat: from this, it works before | 02:01 |
| Typos_King | Smeh: the 'text' login screen will be the 'recovery' mode :) then, so try it there, it seems like something went off on that install, did it ever work? did you do an upgrade rather than a full install? | 02:01 |
| Jordan_U | wild_bat: Of course, the downside being that you loose whatever is on the flash drive currently (unless you do some hackery with the partition table) | 02:01 |

| Loshki | greezmunkey: any idea what app that actually runs? | 02:02 |
| Typos_King | Loshki: you can always just use the terminal window and use -> tail -f FILE; -f does a 'follow' up whenever the file changes | 02:03 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: hmm, I could look...Do you have that on your system? | 02:03 |

| mthorn_ | Hi. I just installed Lucid on an msi xslim. The webcam did not work, and a thread on the ubuntu forums said that I needed to compile the uvc driver. This step was written I believe for Jaunty, and the lucid kernel now includes this driver. the driver was NOT loaded. I have now loaded the driver, but there is still no new device in /dev | 02:03 |
| courtni | HELLO can any one answer my question? | 02:03 |
| courtni | um | 02:03 |
| mthorn_ | do I need to do something to initialize the driver or something? | 02:03 |

| Hawaiian_Eskimo | greezmunkey: used poptop instead | 02:10 |
| Agu10 | hi | 02:11 |
| Agu10 | how can I make compiz be disabled every time I boot ubuntu? | 02:11 |
| greezmunkey | Hawaiian_Eskimo: nice. | 02:11 |
| xangua | Agu10: system> preferences> appearence> effects | 02:11 |
| Smeh | is there any way to make Xorg boot in something like safe mode using some kind of standard vesa / vga driver? | 02:11 |
| Izinucs | Agu10: set effect to "none" | 02:11 |
| Agu10 | so that I can enable compiz if I want, using a launcher, but then have it disabled every time I turn ubuntu off | 02:11 |
| EmLeX | hey is it any program's that will alow u to lock down ubuntu if a usb pendrive is removed and unlocked when it's inserted agen? | 02:11 |
| Agu10 | xangua, Izinucs ^^ | 02:11 |
| greezmunkey | Hawaiian_Eskimo: Heh, PPTP. | 02:12 |
| Izinucs | Agu10: same location.. no launcher available that I know of | 02:12 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | greezmunkey: and? it works, dun it? :P | 02:12 |
| Agu10 | ok, but it will be disabled when I turn my computer ON ? | 02:12 |
| Agu10 | even if I enabled it ? | 02:12 |

| peter_aaron | Complex question. Had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and installed Windows 7. Trying to restore Grub but the live CD I'm using right now can't find the boot files from the old File System. | 02:13 |
| Sonsee | Hawaiian_Eskimo, what is max speed of pptpd over the internet? | 02:13 |
| greezmunkey | Hawaiian_Eskimo: excellent, that's all :) | 02:13 |
| Sonsee | Hawaiian_Eskimo, *you have | 02:13 |
| Izinucs | Agu10: if you disable before shutting down then it will be disabled on boot | 02:13 |
| Hawaiian_Eskimo | Sonsee: like 768kbps. blame my crappy internet. | 02:14 |
| Loshki | peter_aaron: stupid question: you *are* using the 9.10 live cd, and it's grub2, right? | 02:14 |
| Agu10 | Izinucs: ok, but I HAVE TO disable it every time I shut down? | 02:14 |
| Agu10 | I can make a script, but if it doesnt execute for some reason.... | 02:14 |
| peter_aaron | Yeah grub2. Sorry I'm fairly new to ubuntu | 02:15 |
| Sonsee | Hawaiian_Eskimo, ok. can you give the pptp-options?) if that`s alright... in private | 02:15 |

| Agu10 | Izinucs, is there a way to automatically detect if my hardware suppors compiz before running it?? | 02:16 |
| SuperLag | tt5786: do you have a VNC server running on your Ubuntu machine? | 02:16 |
| tdhz77 | Does anybody know if you can resize an OSX partition so that the Ubuntu partition has more space? | 02:16 |
| tt5786 | i am doing it via remote desktop | 02:16 |
| Agu10 | Izinucs, because I'm running it in a virtual machine, and it's sometimes where I can't have 3d | 02:17 |
| rsouthard | tt5786:yes. you should be able to do it just like you are sitting at the pc. Make sure you have the vnc client running. | 02:17 |

| Sonsee | greezmunkey, why use the squid? if can just make ssh tunnel? | 02:20 |
| Loshki | tt5786: most people to an upgrade sitting at the console. It can still go wrong, so you still need to do a backup first, unless you like to live dangerously... | 02:20 |
| tt5786 | i have every thing backed up | 02:21 |
| tt5786 | well i will go to the actual computer to do it tonight thanks guys | 02:21 |
| Loshki | z3r0-c001: I agree with greezmunkey. You'd need to use a firewall to block all access except via a proxy and then configure the proxy to require authentication. Obviously it's not for beginners... | 02:21 |

| greezmunkey | zeek_: I agree with Dr_Willis , but you may find with lspci, lshw, or lsusb that your sd reader is a richo unit. If so look here: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=sdricoh_cs&btnG=Search | 02:41 |

| tdhz77 | I wish EXT4 was supported by my mac osx. It would make my life easier. | 02:43 |
| bastid_raZor | !backup | tdhz77 | 02:43 |
| ubottu | tdhz77: 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 | 02:43 |
| histo | tdhz77: clonezilla is nice | 02:44 |
| histo | tdhz77: it basically performs a dd of your parition and you can even compress the image. | 02:44 |
| head_victim_lapy | I don't know the correct place to advise anyone of this but going to the ubuntu shop from the official page is giving an expired certificate error for shop.canonical.com I figure someone in here should at least be able to pass that information on to the relevant people. | 02:45 |
| tdhz77 | histo, I'm backing up my osx partition using disk utility, which puts everything in a *.dmg file. Clonezilla has a smiliar function? | 02:45 |
| histo | tdhz77: correct | 02:45 |
| histo | tdhz77: Its similiar to norton ghost if you've ever used that. | 02:46 |
| Loshki | corpse: do you other bootable media you can try, to tell if it's the cd itself or the boot process? | 02:46 |
| greezmunkey | tdhz77: are you planning to change your format type from ext4 to ext3 or something? | 02:46 |
| tdhz77 | greezmunkey, yes sir. I want to be able to share data between ubuntu and osx. (I would dump OSX, but Starcraft 2 just came up, so I want access to my music) | 02:47 |

| Loshki | tdhz77: a good reason to avoid ext4 if ever I heard one. You aren't *required* to use ext4 for Ubuntu... | 02:47 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: and Group: If he uses a derivitive of dd to backup his volume, will that image then be compatible with ext3 having been created from ext4??? | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: ext4 has some 'limited' backwards compatiablity with ext3. and can in some cases be mounted as a ext3 filesystem. | 02:49 |
| greezmunkey | Or - is the data dump filesystem / format independant? | 02:50 |
| tdhz77 | Can I create a ext3 partition to share data between OSX and Ubuntu? So, I can continue using ext4? | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: a dd dump to a file still has the filesystem of the actual data | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | tdhz77: you could - if you got the space somewhere. | 02:50 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: that's what I thought, so that is not a solution for tdhz77. | 02:51 |
| sebsebseb | jono: Your asking for help in here, interesting :) | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: from what im reading at the ext4 wiki -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 | 02:51 |
| Loshki | greezmunkey: I seriously doubt you can dd an ext4 filesystem contents and restore it to ext3. It would work with tar though I would think, but you'd have to do a separate grub restore... | 02:51 |

| __taco | whether there is a tool with gui use for connect ADSL? | 02:52 |
| nwillems | histo: far as I remember its a parameter called vga | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: what was the originbal q? You format a partition with a filesystem. Not a hard drive. (technically i thinkthats right) | 02:52 |
| histo | nwillems: that was old vga codes but this is a fresh install on harddisk behaving differently than one installed on usb. | 02:52 |
| tdhz77 | I keep reading about sync errors when using gparted, but im using reffit not bootcamp, so gparted seems like my only option. I just want OSX for SC2 and I want the other 450Gigs for ubuntu :) | 02:53 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders if SC2 will work in wine. | 02:53 | |
| nwillems | histo: sure the people making the image for your usb-stick can do magic grub foo to make it use max-res, but when freshly installed it dosen't do the magic | 02:53 |

| Loshki | Dr_Willis: yes, that's right. The disk contains partitions, each partition contains a filesystem, the filesystems have varying formats... | 02:54 |
| greezmunkey | Dr_Willis: the original question was: If tdhz77 (who wants to convert from ext4 to ext3) uses dd to image his filesystem, be able to put the data onto an ext3 formatted partition. Seeing that it was originally ext4 when the dd was done. | 02:54 |

| histo | nwillems: It's the same image. | 02:54 |
| __taco | Loshki: there is a problem of my pppoecnfig whit "rp-pppoe plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5" , so I remove all the packages of ppp. now I don't know how to connect my network again. | 02:54 |
| histo | nwillems: I don't think you understand what i'm saying. | 02:54 |
| eugene_ | how this works? | 02:54 |
| Loshki | greezmunkey: and the answer is NO, not with dd... | 02:54 |
| nwillems | histo: No I didn't catch the exact same image part. Sry. But have you tried the vga code? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: that wont work. | 02:55 |
| cjav | hi, I'm trying to use port forwarding with libvirt in an ubuntu karmic host, but the rules inserted by libvirt on the FORWARD chain are preventing me to do this, could someone advise me on what to do about it? | 02:55 |
| histo | nwillems: its not a vga code issue | 02:55 |
| __taco | Loshki., there? | 02:55 |
| nwillems | histo: All right, then I'm outta luck. Just thought about that immediatly when you wrote | 02:56 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: There you go, so dd or a backup derivitive based on it is not what tdhz77 needs to back up his filesystem. So then what? | 02:56 |
| Loshki | __taco: if your ISP requires pppoe, you need to download and install a pppoe package. Obviously you can't do that if your network is down, you'll have to do it some other way... | 02:57 |
| greezmunkey | Sorry to beat this into the ground, but it is kind of important, at least it is to me. | 02:57 |
| Loshki | greezmunkey: I think tar would work... | 02:57 |
| tdhz77 | Could I create a new ext3 partition? | 02:57 |
| __taco | Loshki, the problem is that I don't know what packages I should download and install. | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | greezmunkey: if he wants to restore to a diffrent filesystem.. then no thats not a good tool. Other backup tools can restore to differnt filesystems | 02:58 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: right, just to capture the data itself. Isn't tar kind of a filesystem format of its own, independant of HDD formatting. | 02:58 |
| Loshki | tdhz77: if you have enough space, absolutely you can create a new ext3 partition, and you can copy files from the ext4 partition to the ext3 partition using 'cp -a'. It won't copy an MBR though | 02:58 |
| wildbat | how i change tty to higher resolution? | 02:59 |
| mataks | how to add ppa ? | 02:59 |
| tdhz77 | I have plenty of space. MBR is the apple specifc file system? | 02:59 |
| Loshki | greezmunkey: yes, tar format is an independent format, unrelated to the filesystem format, which is why you can create a tarfile from an ext4 system and restore it to an ext3 system... | 02:59 |
| xangua | mataks: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name" | 02:59 |
| __taco | Loshki, when i try to open ppp that down load form ubuntu official web site, it says I can't open it. | 02:59 |
| Loshki | tdhz77: MBR is the master boot record, you need it when booting ubuntu via grub. | 03:00 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: whew, That's all good info - good to have striaght anyways. :) | 03:00 |
| tdhz77 | Ok, now I remember. | 03:00 |
| Loshki | __taco: what url are you trying to access? | 03:00 |
| __taco | Loshki, can you tell me how to install it in DVD cdrom? | 03:01 |
| mataks | xangua, ok thnx man | 03:01 |
| Cajun | Has anyone else noticed the "time slider" in Rhythm Box not working? | 03:01 |
| === Cajun is now known as Cajun_Lan_Man | ||
| greezmunkey | aka patch cord guy, hehe | 03:03 |
| Loshki | __taco: I'm not sure about installing from dvd. Can't you install it from http://packages.ubuntu.com ? | 03:03 |
| __taco | Loshki , i down load it from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/ppp | 03:03 |
| PDG1 | oookay... so I did a little more searching here and found the lshw command, but I looked at the man page and i can't figure out what any of it means. I'm trying to find out if the Computer i bought has a DVD/CD writer or if it's read only or if it's not working because it's broken. | 03:04 |
| jing | okay i back again find out how install ubuntu mini on hard disk please | 03:04 |
| === Awayruler is now known as Pokeruler | ||
| Loshki | __taco: ok, so how will you load it onto your machine which has no network? | 03:04 |
| __taco | Loshki, all the packages seems demaged | 03:05 |
| __taco | I got it in Windows XP | 03:05 |
| jing | either that or how keep lxde and remove gnome all together? | 03:05 |
| tdhz77 | Thanks for the help. To change from the ext4 to ext3 - I will need to compress my data into a tar file. Reinstall ubuntu to ext3, then uncompress the data when I'm done. | 03:05 |
| Loshki | PDG1: so having run lshw, do you now know the model number of your writer? | 03:05 |
| Loshki | __taco: damaged in what way? | 03:05 |
| PDG1 | Loshki, GOOD IDEA :D | 03:05 |
| greezmunkey | PDG1: lshw will tell you that, so will dmesg. lshw is easier to read though. Example: description: CD-R/CD-RW writer | 03:06 |
| __taco | Loshki, I got it in windows xp | 03:06 |
| slavik | anyone running hostapd on ubuntu lucid? my clients get disconnected due to innactivity and I am having a tough time figuring out why ... the wifi card on the AP is an ath5k card. it worked fine with previous ubuntu versions | 03:06 |
| Loshki | __taco: you said all the packags are damaged? In what way? | 03:06 |
| __taco | Loshki,it says file form wrong | 03:06 |
| Loshki | __taco: who says 'file form wrong'? | 03:07 |
| tdhz77 | I don't have access to external HD, can I use ubuntu one to backup my files? | 03:07 |
| shazbotmcnasty | tdhz77, yes | 03:07 |
| shazbotmcnasty | that's what it's for | 03:07 |
| __taco | when I double click that file | 03:07 |
| tdhz77 | How about 10 gigs? | 03:07 |
| shazbotmcnasty | tdhz77, if you have enough space on ubuntu one | 03:08 |
| __taco | Loshki, it says I can't open it when I double click that file | 03:08 |
| Loshki | tdhz77: calculate how long it would take to upload/download 10GB and you will probably want to reconsider... | 03:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | it'd take a long time to upload though | 03:08 |
| greezmunkey | slavik: are you sure it's the ubuntu box? | 03:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | yeah | 03:08 |
| katyarogers | exit | 03:08 |
| === brad[werk] is now known as bradbook | ||
| shazbotmcnasty | doing it wrong katyarogers | 03:08 |
| slavik | greezmunkey: it's the only thing that changed | 03:08 |
| shazbotmcnasty | __taco, what kind of file is it? | 03:08 |
| greezmunkey | slavik: did you google that to see if a bug has been filed, or any other info? | 03:09 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: thanks, I need a break... | 03:09 |
| PDG1 | Loshki, yeah... so as it turns out it's not only just a reader... It's also a terrible drive period | 03:09 |
| __taco | shazbotmcnasty,*.deb | 03:09 |
| slavik | greezmunkey: let me rephrase, both of them are ubuntu boxes, but one is AP, the other is a netbook | 03:09 |
| Loshki | PDG1: what model ? | 03:09 |
| bart_ | hi everyone... ubuntu 10.04 install SB X-Fi Extreme sound card... great sound... Mic doesn't work... anyone here fixed that b4? | 03:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | did you say you were on a windows xp computer __taco ? | 03:09 |
| slavik | greezmunkey: been doing it for past 30min ... | 03:09 |
| PDG1 | Loshki, DVD-ROM GDR8163B | 03:09 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Loshki, no prob :D | 03:09 |
| tdhz77 | Alright, I can't create a new partition from the OSX partition. So ubuntu one will be the only option. | 03:10 |

| Loshki | stealthii: I didn't even know such a thing is possible. Er, are you sure it's possible... | 03:14 |
| __taco | shazbotmcnasty, down load a file from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/ppp and double click it | 03:14 |
| shazbotmcnasty | which one | 03:14 |
| shazbotmcnasty | there are several | 03:14 |
| slavik | greezmunkey: installing backported modules ... maybe that will install a newer one | 03:14 |
| slavik | lsmod ath5k | 03:15 |

| PDG1 | hmm | 03:20 |
| PDG1 | maybe you're right | 03:20 |
| PDG1 | well I just want read access | 03:20 |
| __taco | Loshki,sorry, I can't do that now. i am under windows | 03:21 |
| Loshki | greezmunkey: the samsung SH-S223L? It does it all except blu-ray... | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: have your good data on the Linux partition, and use Windows even less as a result :D | 03:21 |
| gogeta | sebsebseb: umm no it still wouldent effect linux | 03:21 |
| sebsebseb | PDG1: Ubuntu can read and write to Windows NTFS no problem, by the way | 03:21 |
| greezmunkey | Loshki: pretty cheap, nice tip - thanks :) | 03:21 |
| linuxmonster | windows for games (for now) and Linux for everything else | 03:22 |

| sebsebseb | PDG1: yeah be on Ubuntu mainly instead of Windows :) | 03:23 |
| linuxmonster | seb I know Linux can game I just finished a session of assualt cube actuaklly | 03:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | __taco, why don't you download it on the ubuntu computer, and use it for the ubuntu computer. | 03:23 |
| GeekSquid | `blackmk4`linux: edit /etc/network/interfaces ... then restart networking | 03:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Why do you need to transfer it? Does the computer not have internet access? | 03:23 |
| linuxmonster | but I also love flight sim and sorry Flightgear just dont cut it lol | 03:23 |
| sebsebseb | linuxmonster: alright, well theres this idea that Linux distros suck for gaming, which isn't true | 03:23 |
| `blackmk4`linux | alright, thanks | 03:23 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: because his network is fried on Ubuntu... | 03:23 |
| gogeta | `blackmk4`linux: ssh in | 03:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | oh | 03:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | hence the ppp dl | 03:23 |
| shazbotmcnasty | lmao | 03:23 |
| `blackmk4`linux | how do you rename eth1 to eth0 | 03:23 |
| Loshki | shazbotmcnasty: :-) | 03:24 |
| gogeta | `blackmk4`linux: umm you dont | 03:24 |
| Ferchux | I have a question: I've got 2 NIC's eth0 y eth1.... ¿How Can I use one or another making some rule to conmutate them by the host ip? | 03:24 |
| shazbotmcnasty | also no __taco you can move it to a usb device and it will work, but if you didn't let it right all the way, or during the process it got corrupt, then it would not work. | 03:24 |
| `blackmk4`linux | you can, i've done it | 03:24 |

| rooisto47 | hi everyone | 03:25 |
| mjrdelgado | hi | 03:25 |

| linuxmonster | this is the next Linux game I install http://freshmeat.net/projects/conquest | 03:25 |
| shazbotmcnasty | greezmunkey, I thought you couldn't have compiz on with assaultcube | 03:25 |
| Loshki | Ferchux: conmutate? | 03:25 |
| rooisto47 | I get this error msg when using pppoeconf : | 03:25 |

| linuxmonster | though is not linux only but I can live with that | 03:25 |
| te_ | `blackmk4`linux: But if it is using dhcp, you will need to quickly switch ports, or reboot instead of restarting the network. | 03:25 |
| mjrdelgado | does someone know how to set up the bluetooth on a toshiba laptop??? | 03:25 |
| rooisto47 | can you explain me what does it mean? | 03:25 |

| `blackmk4`linux | i plan on putting together a shellscript and running it in screen | 03:26 |
| `blackmk4`linux | lol | 03:26 |
| Ferchux | yeap! ah, sorry Loshki switch! | 03:26 |
| Loshki | stealthii: maybe in windows, but last time I messed with a laptop touchpad, I was lucky to get basic functionality... | 03:26 |
| Ferchux | no conmutate | 03:26 |
| Ferchux | :p | 03:26 |
| mjrdelgado | thanx, I'll give it a try | 03:26 |
| histo | `blackmk4`linux: is there a reason for wanting it changed? | 03:26 |
| `blackmk4`linux | yeah, OCD tendencies | 03:26 |
| __taco | shazbotmcnasty, so it has enough time finished to copy it | 03:26 |
| shazbotmcnasty | __taco, make sure that you remove the usb stick correctly | 03:27 |
| gogeta | histo: to lazy to configure eth1 to be a primary maybe | 03:27 |
| shazbotmcnasty | just try it again... it could have got corrupted in the move, even if the whole thing did write | 03:27 |
| `blackmk4`linux | ok found the file | 03:27 |

| histo | `blackmk4`linux: ahh you beat me | 03:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | :) | 03:29 |
| stealthii | Loshki: might be a point. I just want to use the button underneath the touchpad to actually click, avoiding the mouse pointer moving when i do so. | 03:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | time to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:29 |
| * `blackmk4`linux crosses fingers | 03:29 | |
| __taco | shazbotmcnasty, ok I try to do that again, thx, BTW, whether it need other dependes? | 03:29 |
| gogeta | stealthii: i say just decress its sentivty | 03:29 |
| Ferchux | thanks Loshki, I wanna read about de route command | 03:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | hrm | 03:29 |
| Loshki | Ferchux: buena suerte... | 03:29 |
| `blackmk4`linux | i wonder if that worked | 03:29 |
| gogeta | Ferchux: man route | 03:29 |
| shazbotmcnasty | __taco, it would still open, and tell you if you needed the dependencies | 03:30 |
| `blackmk4`linux | nope | 03:30 |

| ubottu | phoul: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. | 03:36 |

| CaptainTrek | thanks iflema | 03:56 |
| edbian | CaptainTrek, It probably didn't exist until the ntp was installed | 03:57 |
| Loshki | aliciapg: it's a nasty proprietary format. I'm not sure there's anything you can twiddle that will magically make it work.... | 03:57 |

| edbian | histo, In a terminal "grub" | 03:59 |
| histo | edbian: I tired that | 03:59 |
| histo | edbian: tried | 03:59 |
| edbian | histo, as root | 03:59 |
| iflema | CaptainTrek itll show up in the syslog soon or restart the ntp service and itll sync straight away..... | 03:59 |

| CkhiKuzad | Flannel, i will have time to repeat my question 48 times a day as of next saturday, until then, i really need to know if there is a channel for grub2 | 04:10 |
| histo | edbian: me neither its something they got rid of from old grub. | 04:11 |

| Gimy_001 | grub is different since ubuntu 9.10, it appears to me that it is not easy to config | 04:13 |
| craigbass1976 | edbian, I see that. Thought I messed it up first with no space | 04:13 |
| xangua | craigbass1976: restricted extras installs adobe's plugin, codecs, fonts, etc | 04:13 |
| edbian | craigbass1976, try "aptitude show restricted-extras" | 04:14 |
| craigbass1976 | edbian, It's already installed, and I think the flash I'm about to install is a repeat of what I uninstalled. We'll see | 04:15 |
| craigbass1976 | I'll be glad when everybody moves to html5 ... | 04:16 |
| Gimy_001 | does anyone know how to save the resolution for the next booting with Lubuntu?? | 04:16 |

| vonlogik | then do a ps -ef | 04:28 |
| Loshki | aliciapg: My advice? Convert it to something easily handled (avi?) and take the hit on quality... | 04:29 |
| jrib | CkhiKuzad: erm, it's non-trivial if you haven't done it before. Grab the source package, apply the patch (man patch), rebuild the package, install, maintain | 04:29 |

| aliciapg | Loshki: it works in mplayer, just not in gnome subtitles using mplayer | 04:30 |

| ap0th | xangua: notify-osd is installed | 04:31 |
| jud | pat5star: `ok | 04:31 |
| Loshki | aliciapg: Well, the quality hit is overestimated, IMO. You could always just try transcoding it at high quality and see if the result makes your teeth ache. Oh, can not just add an .srt file for mplayer? | 04:32 |

| aliciapg | Loshki: i don't mind | 04:37 |
| pat5star | jud: what do they just have spaces between them? | 04:37 |

| aliciapg | Loshki: alright thanks i'll look into that ^^ | 04:45 |

| Sensiva | histo thank you | 05:02 |

| Roasted | red2kic, tonight I acme home and made a completed 9.10 install. then I backed up the image and put 10.04 on and did a complete install there. Both are identical, except 1 is 910 the other is 1004. gonna keep the backup images handy and test it @ work tomorrow. | 05:25 |

| RoDiMuS-X | the difference between 32 and 64 is that 32 cannot access over 4 gigs of memory | 06:05 |
| Izinucs | Is gnome-shell functional on 10.04? I know it's in the repo's but is it worth the effort? | 06:06 |
| GeekSquid | RoDiMuS-X: not exactly... if your processor supports pae, it can access over 4 gigs in 32 bit | 06:06 |
| joebob | Severian, 1 ntfs of 75GB the rest of the 500GB drive is free. i tried to create a couple ext4's to see if it would see them but it didn't so I deleted them | 06:06 |
| xnockout | cmalo, #md5sum ubuntu-x.xx-desktop-xxx.iso | 06:06 |
| Severian | joebob, Do you get to a screen that looks similar to this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/u9/8.png | 06:06 |
| joebob | Izinucs, i use it on my macbook pro | 06:07 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Geeksquid: what processor supports pae? | 06:07 |
| cmalo | xnockout: on windows xtm and fund a doc | 06:07 |
| Izinucs | joebob: what do you think about it? | 06:07 |
| mac_linux | thanks RoDiMuS-X, I've been checking. It's a bit challenging I must admit. I'm getting a a bunch of different info. | 06:07 |
| joebob | Severian, no I don't get that screen. | 06:07 |
| RoDiMuS-X | mac_linux: trial and error thats what I do all day at work | 06:07 |
| joebob | Izinucs, I like it. I wish there were a few things different but it is usable for me. doesn't hinder me but I like compiz plugins that don't exist for it | 06:08 |
| Severian | joebob, lets go into a pm and you can be more specific about what you are seeing. Is that OK? | 06:08 |
| GeekSquid | RoDiMuS-X: a lot of processors do, I can think of several, core2duo, core quad, xeon, some p4's | 06:08 |
| mac_linux | Yep..I wish I could at least go into consol mode so I don't have to reinstall over again. | 06:08 |
| RoDiMuS-X | GeekSquid: any AMD? | 06:08 |
| xnockout | cmalo, your mean? | 06:08 |
| eblis | hello every one | 06:08 |
| * castle` wishes fruity loops had linux support | 06:09 | |
| joebob | Severian, my screen looks like this: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/08/05/ubuntu-install-prepare-partitions.png but under device there is nothing it's blank. | 06:09 |
| GeekSquid | RoDiMuS-X: I wouldn't know, I use nothing but intel, except for my laptop which is old and max'd out at 1.5g ram | 06:09 |
| Severian | joebob, You seem to have the partitions you need. What is the problem? | 06:10 |
| RoDiMuS-X | PAE maps up to 64 GB of physical memory into a 32-bit (4 GB) virtual address space using either 4-KB or 2-MB pages. | 06:10 |
| KnightStalker | Hello :D | 06:10 |
| joebob | Severian, I can't install ubuntu. that screenshot I sent you isn't mine. mine is completely blank | 06:10 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Thanks for the info Geeksquid | 06:10 |
| cmalo | ok my checksums are the same | 06:10 |
| cmalo | so that's not it | 06:11 |
| KnightStalker | my father's comp cant install Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and when I try to install it via wubi it says no hard drive in comp,and when trying boot it says there are no OS installed but he wants to save his Windows... | 06:11 |
| ccd | I have 10.04 with btrfs-tools and I want to convert the root fs in-place (while booted) to btrfs... but btrfs-convert complains that the fs is mounted... is it possible to do this without booting to a livecd? | 06:11 |
| joebob | Seveas, there are no devices in my window at all. under device there aren't any /dev's the whole window is blank | 06:11 |
| joebob | like it doesn't see my drive | 06:11 |
| joebob | understand? | 06:11 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Geeksquid: I did find out AMD Athlon supports PAE | 06:12 |
| xnockout | cmalo, can be more specific? | 06:12 |
| xnockout | cmalo, about your problem.. | 06:12 |
| KnightStalker | Grr I didn't receive any answer from this channel yet(asked 5 questions till now) | 06:13 |
| cmalo | xnockout, I just see something like a keyboard and some circle with a person in it when I boot from the cd and nothing else | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | ccd: No. | 06:14 |
| |corpse| | i keep installing the ubuntu 10.04 to my usb drive but i cannot seem to make it bootable. i put win7 on it and that booted just fine now i went back to ubuntu on the drive and it fails | 06:14 |
| ccd | Jordan_U, ok, no prob, thanks | 06:14 |
| Izinucs | joebob: it's installed.. how do I activate it? (gnome-shell) | 06:14 |
| xnockout | cmalo, you can go to desktop? | 06:15 |
| RoDiMuS-X | |corpsel|: did you use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 06:15 |
| joebob | did you do repo install? if so I don't know how. I source installed it. | 06:15 |
| KnightStalker | my father's comp cant install Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and when I try to install it via wubi it says no hard drive in comp,and when trying boot it says there are no OS installed but he wants to save his Windows... | 06:15 |
| Izinucs | joebob: yes repo | 06:15 |
| cmalo | xnockout, far as I get I never get any other options | 06:15 |
| cyrex | join | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | |corpse|: Are you making sure that grub gets installed to the flash drive and not somewhere else (Ubuntu has a long standing bug that it always installs grub to the first drive, even if it's not the drive you are installing everything else to) | 06:15 |
| joebob | Izinucs, alt+f2 gnome-shell --replace | 06:15 |
| cmalo | xnockout, never had this type of issue before always loaded grub and allowed me to select to install the OS | 06:16 |
| BitWraith | I installed xubuntu on a UX series VAIO today, and it appears to be working... but the wireless card is behaving strangely. Teh first time I used it, it worked perfectly... but it has failed to connect to (and usually even scan for) any networks since. | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: What do you mean by "but he wants to save his windows"? | 06:16 |
| corpse | Jordan_U: should i have a grub file on the root usb drive? | 06:16 |
| squiggly | i need some help getting my wifi to work on my laptop | 06:16 |
| Izinucs | joebob: and to go back to the previous? metacity --replace? | 06:16 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: i mean he wants multiboot ^_^ | 06:16 |
| squiggly | is there a !command somewhere with information | 06:16 |
| squiggly | !wireless | 06:16 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 06:16 |
| KnightStalker | keeping both his windows and Ubuntu | 06:16 |
| joebob | Izinucs, if using metacity otherwise it's probably compiz --replace | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: You can multiboot without wubi, in fact most dual boots are without wubi. | 06:17 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U:well it doesn't see both windows he has in the installation | 06:17 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: I also tried booting via the Ubuntu disk | 06:17 |
| xnockout | cmalo, sorry, i had problem with my english | 06:17 |
| KnightStalker | Anyways,he has 3 hard drives and 2 windows on two of them | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: Please explain exactly what is happening. Phrases like "doesn't see" are very ambiguous. | 06:18 |
| cmalo | xnockout, no prob | 06:19 |
| Jordan_U | |corpse|: It's not the files that matter as much as the master boot record (an area at the beginning of drives where bootloaders are installed). | 06:20 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: okay here is details:I tried installing via booting the disk,I gone until the format part,it said "there are no operating system in this computer" then I tried installing via wubi in his windows,it told me there are no hard drives in this computer,on other hand he doesn't want to format all of his computer and lose his windows,he wants multiboot which both Ubuntu and windows are on one computer | 06:20 |
| KnightStalker | in fact there were 2 Win7 on the hard drive,he has 3 partitions anyway | 06:20 |
| cmalo | xnockout found the issue they do not do interactive unless you press a key at the 1st boot screen | 06:21 |
| KnightStalker | His processor is i686 anyway | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: Is there any fakeraid or anything else odd with the computer? | 06:21 |
| corpse | Jordan_U: ok i thought mabey i needed a file right in the root to signal grub to run the installer. When i put the win7 on the drive there was the ntlrd right there | 06:21 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: how to check? o.O | 06:21 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" from the liveCD? | 06:22 |
| randerzander | Anyone particularly good at dyndns troubleshooting? I have an interesting problem: my router/ISP drops the lease on my current IP during periods of internet inactivity. I only get a new IP (and the router only updates dyndns with the new IP) when someone uses the internet from inside the LAN. | 06:23 |
| MikeHoncho | Gotta tell you. I love this channel. | 06:23 |
| kroms | Hi :) | 06:23 |
| lwells_ | How do you remove a workspace on the gnome shell? | 06:24 |
| MikeHoncho | Remember the days, like in the 90's, you'd go in to a *nix channel and the answer was always, "RTFM!" | 06:24 |
| xnockout | cmalo, your mean.. you found how to solve your problem? | 06:24 |
| kroms | <---- New to ubuntu, can ya recommend any good reads for a neophyte as myself? Reading ubuntu.com the best way? | 06:24 |
| RoDiMuS-X | MikeHoncho: my favorite was search it | 06:24 |
| MikeHoncho | hahah. The actual answer to that is RTFM! | 06:24 |
| daniel | is it ok to install 32 bit ubuntu on a pc with amd athlon x2 5200 & 4 gb ram | 06:24 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: please wait :D | 06:25 |
| a3ist | randerzander: Do you know what the time limit is? You could set a chron job to do a small download straight to /dev/null periodically | 06:25 |
| RoDiMuS-X | daniel: yup | 06:25 |
| kroms | daniel, I don't see why not. I'm a noob, but sounds like it would work fine. | 06:25 |
| daniel | Rodimus-x , kroms do you know if the 4gb of ram will be read or only 3 gb | 06:25 |
| randerzander | a3ist: haven't figured it out yet, but it seems to occur in <= about 15 minutes | 06:26 |
| RoDiMuS-X | daniel: all 4 gig should be read | 06:26 |
| kroms | That I can't answer. I know windows does only up to 3.99 or so, but Linux I can't tell you. | 06:26 |
| RoDiMuS-X | daniel: well minus the overhead | 06:26 |
| Jordan_U | corpse: On step 8 in the installer you will see a screen that looks a bit like this: http://www.debianadmin.com/wp-content/gallery/10-04/9.png You need to press the advanced button on that screen and set grub to be installed to the flash drive. | 06:26 |
| daniel | alright thanks | 06:26 |
| kroms | is there a Maximum RAM a 32bit ubuntu can read? | 06:26 |
| churl | hello all! what's the process called that runs in the panel that will show some of your apps that are running (ie. pidgin, nicotine, deluge) | 06:26 |
| a3ist | !cron | randerzander | 06:27 |
| ubottu | randerzander: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 06:27 |
| a3ist | randerzander, check that out and you can write a short script to wget google.com every 10 mins or so | 06:27 |
| Jordan_U | kroms: Not if you use the PAE kernel (but you might want to just use 64 bit instead for performance) | 06:27 |
| kroms | Jordan_U, Is there that big of a performance difference in the 32bit vs 64bit? | 06:28 |
| daniel | jordan_u do you use 64bit? | 06:28 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U : I did type "sudo fdisk -l" there wasn't any output though | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | daniel: Yes. | 06:28 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Linux 2.6.32-21-generic [x86_64/2.29GHz] | 06:28 |
| Jordan_U | kroms: Not really, though it depends on what you do with your computer. | 06:29 |
| kroms | also, I have a question.... I've seen some command that allows ubuntu to boot faster with Multi-core CPUs.. but that was from 2009. did they fix that with this 10.0.4? I have a i3, is there any tweaks for that? | 06:29 |
| RoDiMuS-X | I figure I have 64bit why not use it | 06:29 |
| corpse | Jordan_U: ahh, you may have been mistaken. I am putting the liveCD image on a usb drive so i can install ubuntu on another machine, but the usb drive wont boot. I get the error "Missing Operating System" | 06:29 |
| kroms | Jordan_U, gotcha. Thanks for the quick replies. :) happy I switched to ubuntu so far. | 06:29 |
| daniel | Jordan_U i currently have 64bit but i am thinking about switching to 32bit because i have problems with flash on 64 bit and some software being only 32 bit... have you had any problems with flash? | 06:29 |
| randerzander | a3ist: Thanks for the suggestion | 06:30 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ to install the iso | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | daniel: Flash crashes all the time for me, but I hardly notice since I'm using google chrome :) | 06:30 |
| xnockout | ada orang indo gak di sini? | 06:30 |
| |corpse| | RoDiMuS-X: thats what im using | 06:30 |
| a3ist | randerzander, no prob :) I like finding fun work-arounds | 06:30 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: the Flash Drive supports boot? | 06:31 |
| daniel | Jordan_U i am using google chrome as well, but i cant seem to use a few cloud software sites which rely on flash | 06:31 |
| kroms | daniel, is it actually crashing? I've noticed that sometimes I can't even click on things that are flash. ie. play button. | 06:31 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: i think so. when i format with gparted it gets flaged as boot | 06:31 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: what file type? | 06:32 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: NTFS or FAT | 06:32 |
| daniel | kroms i have the same problem...play button and volume button in youtube doesnt work....grooveshark doesnt work either | 06:32 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: also i used unetbootin and put it on my external harddrive and i know thats bootable | 06:32 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: ext4 | 06:32 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: i have tryed fat ext4 and ntfs | 06:32 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: you there? :D | 06:32 |
| Jordan_U | daniel: You can use totem (Movie Player) to browse youtube. | 06:33 |
| kroms | daniel, yeah. I haven't tried grooveshark yet, but not surprised. I've heard that flash sucked before I switched. What about running it in virtual box? hehe | 06:33 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: Yes | 06:33 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U : I did type "sudo fdisk -l" there wasn't any output though | 06:33 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: this maybe a dumb question but does your bios support booting off the USB drive | 06:33 |
| daniel | kroms well i have a dual boot... but i would like to be able to use ubuntu for web browsing since it is the safest operating system | 06:33 |
| kroms | Anyone have top favorite programs that a 'newb' should check out? | 06:34 |
| daniel | jordan_u thanks ill check that out | 06:34 |
| cyrex | can anybody help me | 06:34 |
| === FlyingWatermelon is now known as flyingwatermelon | ||
| cyrex | ubuntu is too awesome for me, what can i do? | 06:34 |
| Jordan_U | daniel: You're welcome. | 06:34 |
| RoDiMuS-X | kroms: adobeair for linux | 06:34 |
| === FFForever is now known as FFForever-Away | ||
| kroms | daniel, I dual boot too. What about PlayOnLinux? | 06:34 |
| === flyingwatermelon is now known as watermelon | ||
| === watermelon is now known as bobbarker | ||
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: That is really odd. Can you pastebin the output from "dmesg"? | 06:34 |
| kroms | RoDiMuS-X, I've heard about adobe air, but haven't really looked into it. How is it? Anything worth running? Does it run flash? | 06:34 |
| RoDiMuS-X | cyrex: install windows | 06:34 |
| xnockout | cyrex: what your problem? | 06:35 |
| daniel | kroms i have never tried that | 06:35 |
| RoDiMuS-X | kroms: yeah I use tweetdeck, it works great | 06:35 |
| cyrex | Ubuntu is too awesome for me, i need something sucky | 06:35 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: yes, though it is showing it a harddisk instead of removable media. but i select it as the first hard drive to boot from and i get the missing operating system error | 06:35 |
| a3ist | cyrex, try porting windows mobile 6 to your computer | 06:35 |
| RoDiMuS-X | cyrex: Windows XP is hiring | 06:35 |
| daniel | cyrex get windows vista if you want something sucky | 06:35 |
| cyrex | thank you guys | 06:35 |
| kroms | daniel, I just heard about it the other day, allows you to run windows apps in Linux. Should that work with flash better? Or would that not work? | 06:36 |
| cyrex | will try, let you know when i get viruses and all that | 06:36 |
| a3ist | virtualbox is nice | 06:36 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: i notice that in the usb drive all the liniux files are locked in root. should i open the permisions? or should that not matter? | 06:36 |
| cyrex | virtualbox 3.2 just came out | 06:36 |
| daniel | kroms i dont know but ill check that out, thanks | 06:36 |
| Jordan_U | corpse: That doesn't matter. | 06:36 |
| a3ist | yeah had to get the new key for their repo | 06:36 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: I dont think that matters | 06:36 |
| kroms | daniel, Like I said.. I'm a noob. someone else might have a better idea on what would work XD | 06:36 |
| cyrex | and for flash players i normally install the ubuntu-restricted-extras from synaptic or the ubuntu software center | 06:37 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: have you tried the USB drive on a different computer? | 06:37 |
| corpse | RoDiMuS-X: yes on 3 seperate computers | 06:37 |
| bobbarker | anyone here? | 06:37 |
| kroms | cyrex, does it come with a good flash player? Or the regular one in the synaptic? | 06:37 |
| RoDiMuS-X | corpse: same deal eh? | 06:37 |
| bobbarker | i just made an ubuntu livecd | 06:37 |
| bobbarker | and installed xchat | 06:37 |
| cyrex | since it it restricted it will grab the adobe flash player | 06:38 |
| bobbarker | neither of which i have ever used in my life | 06:38 |
| bobbarker | i have used mIRC | 06:38 |
| cyrex | although you can choose between gnash, swfdec and the adobe one | 06:38 |
| cyrex | i actually use the adobe one and works perfect | 06:38 |
| cyrex | it will take a while to download and install because the ubuntu-restricted installs a lot of stuff | 06:39 |
| bobbarker | so who can i talk to for help? | 06:39 |
| cyrex | anybody watermelon..i mean bobbarker | 06:39 |
| Jordan_U | bobbarker: Just ask your question, if anyone can help they will. | 06:39 |
| kroms | cyrex, is there a list of what's all installed with the restricted package? | 06:39 |
| RoDiMuS-X | Corpse: are you building your boot or just using the Ubuntu iso | 06:39 |
| churl | Need help after upgrade: what's the process called that runs in the panel that will show some of your apps that are running (ie. pidgin, nicotine, deluge) it's now gone and I miss it! | 06:39 |
| cyrex | yeah of course when you select the package in synaptic it tells you what it contains | 06:40 |
| kroms | cyrex, thanks. | 06:40 |
| cyrex | you can also type aptitude show ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:40 |
| cyrex | in console | 06:40 |
| Jordan_U | churl: Right click pannel > Add to pannel > Notification Area | 06:40 |
| cyrex | and it will show what it contains | 06:40 |
| kroms | ahhh | 06:40 |
| Andys^ | hi. how do you find out what options the current linux kernel was compiled with? | 06:40 |
| bobbarker | cyrex how did you know i was watermelon? | 06:40 |
| churl | Jordan_U: thanks | 06:41 |
| cyrex | basically it has stuff to view movies, flash, some java stuff, decompress/compress, bla bla bla | 06:41 |
| Jordan_U | churl: You're welcome. | 06:41 |
| cyrex | because i am the mighty super flying pineapple | 06:41 |
| cyrex | bow to my many pineapple eyes | 06:41 |
| cyrex | i see everything | 06:41 |
| Squideshi | Does Ubuntu 10.04 use BOTH xsplash and plymouth, or only plymouth for a boot splash? | 06:42 |
| Jordan_U | Andys^: less /boot/config-$(uname -r) | 06:42 |
| xnockout | cyrex, how about me, what you see? | 06:42 |
| cyrex | @Squideshi - as i understand it uses plymouth | 06:43 |
| cyrex | i see a man that will someday be a super potato | 06:43 |
| corpse | sorry my system crashed | 06:43 |
| cyrex | with super potato powers | 06:43 |
| kroms | Thank you all for the help. Have a great night. | 06:43 |

| greezmunkey | corpse: Did that boot video help any? (earlier today) | 06:46 |
| corpse | greezmunkey: nope =\ | 06:46 |
| Severian | no, 64 bit is better. It does not run at all on 64 bit, so that is buch better. | 06:47 |

| Severian | daniel, that was for you. | 06:47 |
| ryaxnb | neat, i got the dell mini 9 sleep to work. | 06:47 |
| corpse | greezmunkey: for some reason the disk that i save the iso files to wont be bootable | 06:47 |
| greezmunkey | corpse: are you writing it at the slowest possible speed, and DAO ? | 06:47 |
| Slart | CaneToad: my laptop works with wireless N.. not sure which chipset it uses though | 06:47 |
| daniel | severian, i need it for some sites i use... | 06:48 |
| bobbarker | anyone know how to join another server on xchat? | 06:48 |
| Severian | ryaxnb, I guess that is good. | 06:48 |

| greezmunkey | bobbarker: Heh - -/server {servername.serverdomain} | 06:49 |
| Anubis | hi I just installed a new usb wifi card but ubuntu isn't even showing the green comet looking network choice in the tray | 06:49 |
| Severian | daniel, maybe, and maybe not. I never install flash. It is so bad on security and the license is unreasonable. gnash does fine for many flash sites. | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: Try pressing any key when booting the livCD to get to the isolinux menu, then press F6 and select the "nodmraid" option. Do *not* do anything with the drives though, I don't know what happens with undetected fakeraid (I have no reason to think anything bad, but since I'm not sure it's best to be safe). | 06:49 |
| lokpest | hi, anyone know how I refuse ubuntu access to the pc-speaker? | 06:49 |
| daniel | severian, i have never heard of gnash, is this a flash alternative? | 06:49 |
| Jordan_U | lokpest: In 10.04 it should be blacklisted by default. | 06:50 |
| Anubis | I think it has something to do with ndiswrapper but I'm not sure | 06:50 |
| Slart | lokpest: you can blacklist the kernel module | 06:50 |
| Severian | pdtpatrick, some things like playing video don't get to the client, if the video card on the server is a little old. Some things are just a little slow. | 06:50 |
| Slart | lokpest: but I think that's done by default these days.. as Jordan_U said | 06:50 |
| azbr00 | lokpest: wire cutters | 06:50 |
| lokpest | I mean, to have the BIOS use the pc-speaker I understand. but the OS? ok, sounds good that it has been done | 06:50 |
| greezmunkey | Jordan_U: what is the module called? | 06:50 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian .. its using the latest ATI driver... but im not playing video. Right now im remote into the server but when i click on terminal, i can see it on the server move but not on the client | 06:51 |
| h00ked_ | morning all | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | greezmunkey: pcspkr | 06:51 |
| Severian | daniel, gnash is the open source reimplementation of flash. It is pretty good at playing videos and the scripting language is close. There are a couple of similar projects. gnash works best for me. | 06:51 |
| greezmunkey | Jordan_U: that makes sense... | 06:51 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: I did activate nodmraid now what to do? :D | 06:51 |
| lokpest | Slart: k, sounds like something that will eat a n00b like me and his system | 06:51 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian for instance, while on the mac, if i move the terminal around, it doesn't show that on the mac, but it shows that being moved around on the ubuntu box itself | 06:51 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: See if "sudo fdisk -l" still produces no output. | 06:52 |
| daniel | severian, will it install by doing sudo apt-get install gnash | 06:52 |
| Slart | lokpest: nah.. it's just one line in one file.. hang on.. let me check the syntax | 06:52 |
| Anubis | I've tried using this pocket guide but still can't connect to the internet | 06:52 |
| Severian | pdtpatrick, THE OTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS THAT COMPIZ CAN INTERFERE WITH VNC. tRY TURNING IT OFF FOR THAT SERVER. | 06:52 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian .. looks like its a bug ... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/493889 | 06:52 |
| Severian | daniel, yes. | 06:52 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian.. ur right though in regards to compiz being enabled :( | 06:53 |
| Severian | pdtpatrick, sorry about the upper case. | 06:53 |
| Slart | lokpest: type this into a terminal, gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 06:53 |
| lokpest | gnash is stil a plugin, html5 + free codec is the "right way" to solve it | 06:53 |
| pallgone | Severian: oh, right, does gnash work on youtube? | 06:53 |
| lokpest | i think gnash will be irrelevant within a year | 06:54 |
| daniel | severian was i supposed to remove flash before (i installed gnash but havent removed flash) | 06:54 |
| Slart | lokpest: then just add a line at the end, blacklist pcspkr | 06:54 |
| lokpest | considering the news for yesterday | 06:54 |
| corpse | will setting up a file server with ubuntu desktop be just as good as useing ubuntu server? | 06:54 |
| lokpest | Slart: ty! | 06:54 |
| Slart | lokpest: reboot and it should be done.. | 06:54 |
| RoDiMuS-X | google just dropped at the i/o a new open source that they hope will replace flash | 06:54 |
| Severian | pallgone, yes, but it needs a little help. You need a greasemonkey script to fool youtube. I have demonstrated it at local computer groups. | 06:54 |
| fiyawerx_ | vp8? | 06:54 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian -- oh that sucks.. u have to set Visual Effects = None for it to work .. haha | 06:55 |
| pallgone | Severian: ok, i need gnash, greasemonkey, a script and I bet it doesn't work on hulu and others | 06:55 |
| Severian | daniel, I don't know. I never install flash, because I won't accept their license. So, I never had both installed. | 06:55 |
| RoDiMuS-X | WebM | 06:55 |
| fiyawerx_ | isn't webm just rebranded matroska? | 06:55 |
| Severian | pallgone, I have not tried this hulu thing. It is just tv shows and I don't watch or own a tv. | 06:56 |
| fiyawerx_ | RoDiMuS-X: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=377 | 06:56 |
| anub | is this for ubuntu questions/support or is there another channel? | 06:56 |
| fiyawerx_ | after reading that i'm a bit disillusioned to vp8/webm | 06:56 |
| Andorin | Why would my connection be so dead that nothing loads (web pages, IM through Pidgin, BitTorrent, Gwibber, etc) /except/ for XChat, which is managing IRC perfectly? | 06:56 |
| Severian | fiyawerx_, No. but, it is related and derived from matroska | 06:56 |
| lokpest | Slart: I havent been around there before, so I guess that I get an empty file is alright? | 06:56 |
| pallgone | lokpest: what news? | 06:56 |
| lokpest | google releasing VP8 under BSD | 06:57 |
| KnightStalker | Jordan_U: still no output :S | 06:57 |
| daniel | severian thank you very much | 06:57 |
| Severian | pdtpatrick, setting effects to none is basically turning compiz off. I don't see much use for it on a server, so it does not bug me. I do like it on my desktop. | 06:57 |
| pallgone | lokpest: oh, right... they've done it... adobe is screwed :) | 06:58 |
| lokpest | nah | 06:58 |
| lokpest | flash is screwed, but not adobe | 06:58 |
| pdtpatrick | @Severian .. yup i had it on before because i was using this as a desktop but now turned it into a server and completely forgot it was on :( .. thanks again | 06:58 |
| fiyawerx_ | lokpest: you might like that read, too, interesting teardown of vp8 from an x264 dev | 06:58 |
| RoDiMuS-X | flyawerx_: I agree WebM is a stupid name | 06:59 |
| anub | wow at least windows doesn't lose your entire ability to connect to the web when you don't use it for a month | 06:59 |
| lokpest | adobe has been around long before flash was even thought of, and as I undestand it they are in heavy transition in making there tools create HTML5-code instead of flash | 06:59 |
| Severian | anub, no it is too important for Microsoft to be able to spy on you. | 07:00 |
| fiyawerx_ | hah, windows is the opposite, the more you use it, the more you're likely to be "disconnected" | 07:00 |
| RoDiMuS-X | lol Severian | 07:00 |
| Andorin | Why would my connection be so dead that nothing loads (web pages, IM through Pidgin, BitTorrent, Gwibber, etc) /except/ for XChat, which is managing IRC perfectly? | 07:00 |
| anub | Severian: yeah they're seeing this, sounds like a real hoot | 07:01 |
| pallgone | anub: wow at least X does this better than Y | 07:01 |
| Severian | lokpest, I hope adobe does this right, but their history suggest otherwise. The ray of hope is that they have been open more when threatened. That is one reason why pdf ended up as a decent iso standard. | 07:01 |
| Jordan_U | KnightStalker: I have no idea then, never seen / heard of this type of problem before. | 07:01 |
| anub | pallgone: wow is that algebra? | 07:01 |
| fiyawerx_ | its not like adobe created flash anyway, didn't they just get it a few years ago? | 07:02 |
| Severian | fiyawerx_, they acquired it with Macromedia a few years ago. | 07:03 |
| * fiyawerx_ nods | 07:03 | |
| pallgone | anub: with X my Y at least Z | 07:04 |
| anub | um yeah | 07:04 |
| lokpest | fiyawerx_: I dont get this argument that h.264 might be slightly better in som enviroments. I mean I want a free and good enough codec, not some monster-quality codec specialized for watching ultra-zoomed in porno on the absolute biggest screen you could find on the market :P | 07:04 |
| lokpest | (I woldnt object to freeing such a codec, but I can live without...) | 07:05 |
| anub | how do I use ifconfig to diagnose this connection problem? | 07:05 |
| fiyawerx_ | i dont even think it's mainly about the comparison of quality, there's a lot of other issues there | 07:06 |
| Severian | anub, it depends upon the problem. if config will show you if you are getting an ip address. It will show you how much traffic is flowing. | 07:07 |

| livingdaylight | I would like to know whether it is possible to disable the mousepad on Asus A8J series laptop. I have a usb-mouse connected and dont need mousepad. Mousepad on this laptop is situated in such a way that (often) when writing the cursor is affected, often in detrimental ways. | 07:10 |

| jud | pat5star: hi, just got through compiling, ran cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt in terminal and it came back with no such file or directory...? | 07:11 |
| a3ist | livingdaylight, I don't speak german, so I couldn't be positive which one was the right one for you | 07:11 |
| greezmunkey | livingdaylight: can't you do that in the bios? | 07:11 |
| livingdaylight | greezmunkey, bios is it? | 07:11 |
| airtonix | Flyingwater, depends on wether you're using gnome-schat or just xchat ? | 07:11 |
| airtonix | gnome-xchat* | 07:11 |
| greezmunkey | livingdaylight: It works that way on mine, yours may be differant - worth a look at least | 07:12 |
| pat5star | jud: make sure you are in the directory where your sort1.txt file is | 07:12 |
| anub | severian: yes that is very logical | 07:12 |
| livingdaylight | greezmunkey, I don't know, which is why I'm asking. I can check next time, however, it would be nice to be able to switch the mousepad on and off easier (read conveniently) than that | 07:12 |
| pat5star | jud: so if it's on your desktop, cd ~/Desktop | 07:12 |

| pat5star | jud: ok, let me know how you make out | 07:13 |
| pat5star | jud: Just out of curiousity, how many emails are you dealing with? | 07:13 |
| cagge | Can i make maybe a python script and connnect with 3g wothout data | 07:14 |
| airtonix | Flyingwater, xchat menu > network list > edit the server connection you're using. | 07:14 |
| livingdaylight | greezmunkey, I've never seen that option in Bios before. I mean without looking, it was not something that jumped out at me. But thanks for the tip. I'll lookout specifically for it next time | 07:14 |
| anub | well I can finally delete my ubuntu partition, thanks, ya'll | 07:14 |
| dancek | livingdaylight, you can try to remove the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 07:14 |
| greezmunkey | livingdaylight: you can probably download a user manula for that hardware...maybe? | 07:14 |
| airtonix | Flyingwater, then put the password you use to register your nick here in the nickserv field | 07:15 |
| jud | pat5star: i've collected around a thousand from different lists | 07:15 |
| pat5star | jud: ok | 07:15 |
| livingdaylight | greezmunkey, another good idea :) | 07:15 |
| livingdaylight | dancek, wouldn't that be permanent? | 07:15 |
| pat5star | jud: I'm not helping a spammer am I?! | 07:15 |
| dancek | livingdaylight, yes. I thought you didn't need the touchpad. | 07:15 |
| dancek | livingdaylight, also you can reinstall it whenever you want if you change your mind. | 07:16 |
| pat5star | jud: brb | 07:16 |
| jud | pat5star: no, no, it's an arts newsletter...non profit. | 07:16 |
| pat5star | jud: that's cool. let me know how you make out ok | 07:16 |
| livingdaylight | dancek, not always, no. But would like to be able to 'enable' it , i.e. switch it 'on' (or 'off) if and when and as requirements dictate | 07:17 |
| jud | pat5star: thanks | 07:17 |
| dancek | livingdaylight, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad suggests removing it, too. | 07:17 |
| dancek | livingdaylight, you should read the wiki page, it describes other possibilities too. | 07:17 |

| Spunkym3nkey | for design | 07:24 |
| pat5star | jud: ok, if you're sort1.txt file is in artfactory/documents/troy/lima you have to cd (change directory) there. do this: cd artfactory/documents/troy/lima | 07:25 |

| Flannel | jav_: put your potential virtualhosts in -available, apache reads everything in -enabled (and loads it). You use `a2ensite filename` (where filename is the filename in -available) to enable a site, and a2dissite to disable. All those commands do is symlink from -available to -enabled | 07:27 |

| clint- | I just don't do the sudo etc.. | 07:36 |
| Flyingwater | so i can dual boot ubuntu and windows | 07:36 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: no, i did not, but nvidia-xconfig generated one that is almost identical | 07:36 |
| clint- | you can actually run many systems Flyingwater | 07:36 |
| xyz | ater hibernating the machine | 07:36 |
| xyz | after* | 07:36 |
| clint- | I had like 6 running at 1 time with Acronis Disk Director Suite, but its commercial | 07:36 |
| xyz | power-manager doesnt work | 07:36 |
| clint- | but if you want as well, in workstations.. you can run them on sep drives.. | 07:36 |
| pat5star | jud: copy and paste this: cd ~/Documents/troy/lima | 07:36 |
| greezmunkey | jud: cd /home/artfactory/Documents/troy/iima - then you can play with your file. | 07:36 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: i'm not actually sure if it's nvidia that broke or something else that causes it to stay at the shell login prompt | 07:37 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: I actually removed mine then restarted X and it worked | 07:37 |
| clint- | ubuntu setup should resize you Flyingwater | 07:37 |
| clint- | or let you choose those options.. | 07:37 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: but I don't have nvidia so I don't knonw | 07:37 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: what logs should i check to make sure it's nvidia holding up X and not something else? | 07:38 |
| pat5star | jud: if no errors, then try ls sort1.txt | 07:38 |
| clint- | However, its best to really if windows is your main OS, to create the partition with free space, from windows.. or use like gparted, etc.. ubcd, etc. and others | 07:38 |
| naveen519 | yeah | 07:38 |
| clint- | or other disk partitioning software like paragon etc | 07:38 |
| clint- | i mean 2 each there own | 07:38 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: I think something shows up in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog | 07:38 |
| clint- | heck, really if your swift enough, you can create partitions on a network.. | 07:38 |
| clint- | ;) | 07:38 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: maybe /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:39 |
| clint- | hello pat5star | 07:39 |
| clint- | I see ubuntu has grown bigtime.. :P | 07:39 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:39 |
| clint- | maybe it will make all distros obsolete :P | 07:40 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: nothing suspicious in messages or syslog, checking Xorg's logs now | 07:40 |
| clint- | j/k | 07:40 |
| pat5star | jud: how did you make out with cd ~/Documents/troy/lima ? | 07:40 |
| clint- | good ole LFS ;) | 07:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | has the directory /proc/bus/usb been changed for karmic or is it made obsolete? | 07:40 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star & greezmunkey: Fatal server error: | 07:40 |
| mechcozmo | no screens found | 07:40 |
| jud | pat5star: `ok, did that, no errors so ran cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt and .....hey presto | 07:41 |
| clint- | its good to get into knowing how to write and configure an xorg configuration mechcozmo | 07:41 |
| clint- | and working with people in #xorg can help you do that too.. and well studying | 07:41 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: I had problems after my upgrade but solved it by just removing /etc/X/xorg.conf, I've seen others with problems too especially nvidia, not sure how they resolve it | 07:41 |
| pat5star | jud: cool, one last thing you can do if you're interested... | 07:41 |
| clint- | I highly recommend.. learning how to troubleshoot xorg, and learning how to drop into runlevel 3's and not be afraid.. | 07:41 |
| clint- | but.. you can always use test machines for that too | 07:42 |
| clint- | or vm's | 07:42 |
| anub | how do you get the top panel to show up | 07:42 |
| jud | pat5star: `what's that? | 07:42 |
| Heebie | Hi. I've got an ubuntu server where it simply refuses to pass IP traffic. The interface is up, the port on the switch is up, the lights flash as if traffic is trying to pass.. but nothing passes. There are no arp entries etc. Has anyone heard of ubuntu 6.06 LTS doing this? | 07:42 |
| nicT | hey quick question, whats the best practice in terms of installing new software. For example I am installing cassandra, should I install to /opt directory or something else? | 07:42 |
| clint- | anub: , which 1 | 07:42 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: You can redo your x config with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 07:42 |
| mechcozmo | clint-: i'm far more comfortable on the CLI than in XFCE | 07:42 |
| clint- | hehe | 07:42 |
| pat5star | jud: cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | wc -l; wc -l uniq-emails.txt | 07:42 |
| clint- | I can work in any runlevels heh | 07:43 |
| clint- | don't matter | 07:43 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: you can only do that if the x server is stopped | 07:43 |
| anub | clint: the one on the desktop | 07:43 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: it doesn't run anyway, should be easy :-p | 07:43 |
| clint- | I been thinking of leaving gnome hehe | 07:43 |
| pat5star | jud: the first number will show you how many emails you had to start, the 2nd will show you how many you now have after ridding the dupes | 07:43 |
| clint- | I use xfce, fluxbox as well | 07:43 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: yup | 07:43 |
| clint- | but I thought about testing openbox | 07:43 |
| clint- | as well* | 07:43 |
| clint- | I actually started on KDE as well | 07:43 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: mkay, it ran with no errors... now just reboot and pray? | 07:43 |
| MACscr_lappy | so i swear i saw that someone recommended an alternative flash package than the adobe one. Is that correct? | 07:43 |
| GeekSquid | nicT: use apt-get ... 'sudo apt-get install cassandra' it will install automatically, no need for sources | 07:43 |
| clint- | getting into terminals, and runlevel 3 came later on | 07:43 |
| greezmunkey | mech | 07:43 |
| greezmunkey | mech no, sudo service gdm start | 07:44 |
| Severian | MACscr_lappy, It may be true. Are you prone to swearing like that? | 07:44 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: gdm start/running, process 2407 | 07:44 |
| clint- | its something really to get into, and get yourself comfortable with, and knowing your way around the linux fs ds* because you can look at logs.. troubleshoot, etc | 07:44 |
| greezmunkey | mech alt+ctrl+F7 | 07:44 |
| clint- | when 1 of my instructors at college told me back in 2005.. learn the command line, its a must, he wasn't kidding | 07:45 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: doin' this remotely | 07:45 |
| clint- | but also.. LFS.. can push you too | 07:45 |
| a3ist | I'm running lxde/open box on top of arch linux on my laptop here, with my desktop running ubuntu. Then I don't have to worry about flashy stuff hogging resources and can still use the ubuntu box remotely to run cpu heavy commands | 07:45 |
| greezmunkey | mech | 07:45 |
| clint- | I been really thinking on desiging my own linux system | 07:45 |
| clint- | designing* | 07:45 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: check the log again | 07:45 |
| jud | pat5star: hmm, i get 1413 wc: uniq-emails.txt: No such file or directory | 07:45 |
| samd | hi i accidentally installed grub into a partition instead of the MBR, i think i already installed to the MBR by entering the following command "sudo grub-setup /dev/sda",, now, how can i remove the install i made to the partition? | 07:45 |
| clint- | mechcozmo: , thats good.. | 07:45 |
| Severian | MACscr_lappy, If you have a question about the flash alternative, I can answer that. I suggested it and use it on those rare occaisions I want flash. | 07:45 |
| a3ist | clint-, check out arch linux; its a slimmed down core to start with | 07:45 |
| clint- | yeah I heard good stuff about arch too | 07:45 |
| clint- | primarly I'm a mdv/opensuse user.. and engineer with it.. | 07:46 |
| AphisOne | When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) | 07:46 |
| hipitihop | ever synce I have switched to lucid, I have managed to get skype into a funny state where I can't evem 'sudo killall skype' .. processes keep running.. is there a bigger hammer ? | 07:46 |
| MACscr_lappy | Severian: what is the alternative? gnash? | 07:46 |
| clint- | deploy linux systems for all around my City, and around it, and travel too | 07:46 |
| jud | pat5star: i'd changed the name of the one there so it wouldn't overwrite it. was that a mistake? | 07:46 |
| clint- | now a Hospital, is wanting a good IT, they can rely on.. | 07:46 |
| AphisOne | the installed module is the newer version | 07:46 |
| Severian | clint-, The diversity in distros is a strength of Linux. Good luck. I tinker with that a bit, too. | 07:46 |
| clint- | which alot of hospitals run Novell you see, or SLED | 07:46 |
| clint- | but you see, SLED is based off opensuse | 07:46 |
| clint- | hehe | 07:46 |
| greezmunkey | !ot > clint- | 07:46 |
| ubottu | clint-, please see my private message | 07:46 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: still no X on startup | 07:46 |
| clint- | and really.. opensuse, is just suse.. | 07:47 |
| Severian | MACscr_lappy, gnash is the one I use. It is the most prominent alternative flash. | 07:47 |
| clint- | its just called that because of the GPL, and etc | 07:47 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, you have htop? | 07:47 |
| pat5star | jud: oh ok...you had me wondering there...ya if you wanted to know how many emails you now have, just run that command again but change uniq-emails.txt to your new name. It won't overwrite, it's just counting | 07:47 |
| clint- | sup greezmunkey ? | 07:47 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: still getting the screen error? | 07:47 |
| clint- | k ubottu | 07:47 |
| clint- | oh yeah np | 07:47 |
| Severian | clint-, SLED is not based off opensuse, but they have the same roots. | 07:47 |
| hipitihop | linuxlurker, yep | 07:47 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: "(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module-specific error, 0)" | 07:47 |
| clint- | my bad, I got a little carrie daway | 07:47 |
| clint- | I"m kind of stoked about this sonicwall :) | 07:47 |
| clint- | I got it for 90% off :P | 07:48 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, there are a number of kill options in htop.. | 07:48 |
| anub | how do you connect to the internet in ubuntu? | 07:48 |
| clint- | Severian: | 07:48 |
| clint- | it is | 07:48 |
| MACscr_lappy | how can i make my center monitor my main one? | 07:48 |
| MACscr_lappy | aka, login, panels, etc, appear there | 07:48 |
| clint- | sled 10 is based off 11.1 | 07:48 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: I get this a lot in the kernel log: May 20 23:46:19 frankenbox kernel: [ 13.803740] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel. | 07:48 |
| clint- | :-) | 07:48 |
| rms7 | hello | 07:48 |
| Severian | clint-, I use ipcop, which is even better and costs even less. But, my needs may be different from yours. Good luck. | 07:49 |
| clint- | hello Seveas | 07:49 |
| clint- | Severian: argh | 07:49 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, other than that you can ps -e to find the pid no. and then kill 9 pid | 07:49 |
| AphisOne | Is there a problem if the installed module version doesn't match the built module? | 07:49 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: run sudo lshw | grep VGA - see what adapter you really have. | 07:49 |
| clint- | yeah.. I have setup a smoothwall box.. but energy right now.. and also I looked at pfsense | 07:49 |
| clint- | but they messaged me to keep it ontopic :P | 07:49 |
| AphisOne | When viewing dkms status? | 07:49 |
| hipitihop | linuxlurker, is thal 'kill 9 ...' or 'kill -9 ...' ? | 07:49 |
| pat5star | Severian: I used ipcop a couple of years ago...it was really awesome. If I ever need a setup like that again I wouldn't hesitate to go back to ipcop :) | 07:49 |
| clint- | Severian: , thats cool.. :) | 07:49 |
| clint- | at least were the paranoid type eh | 07:49 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, kill 9 <pid number> | 07:49 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: description: VGA compatible controller | 07:49 |
| clint- | I am anyways. ;) | 07:50 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, read man kill for confirmation | 07:50 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: it is a 5200FX, IIRC | 07:50 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: is that ati, or intel ? | 07:50 |
| clint- | I'm going to start doing some test, with system mounting in read only mode sometimes.. | 07:50 |
| clint- | systems* | 07:50 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: my bad, it's a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x | 07:50 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, oh..it is kill -9 pid | 07:50 |
| mechcozmo | it is nvidia | 07:50 |
| clint- | and also.. starting it up, with the image mounting to ram.. sometimes. and setting up the ramdisk to periodically save changes to a partition.. | 07:50 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, hehe..the dash is necessary | 07:50 |
| clint- | all kinds of things I" working on.. kind of been driving myself nuts sometimes.. :) | 07:51 |
| Severian | clint-, That is how my ipcop box works. | 07:51 |
| clint- | as read only.. I can see that | 07:51 |
| anub | ok I figured out that the problem is that ubuntu is only seeing the old wifi card, but my driver cd ony has an exe - how do I install it | 07:51 |
| pat5star | I'm such an old cliche, I'm drinking jolt, having a poptart and writing a crappy script ;) | 07:51 |
| jud | pat5star: hmm, so from 1413 down to 1410....that's more than i thought i would of had. now i just have to figure out a way to send them that doesn't take 2 days as it does from my google account since you can only do 500 at a time | 07:51 |
| clint- | well you know, its how you set the permissions :) | 07:51 |
| Severian | clint-, otherwise the flash memory it runs off would not last long. | 07:51 |
| clint- | hehe | 07:51 |
| clint- | Severian: good to see you | 07:52 |
| jud | pat5star: ` then wait 12 hours | 07:52 |
| clint- | I went by Zoo if you are wondering | 07:52 |
| pat5star | jud: lol...after all your work it only removed 3 dupes?! | 07:52 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, I think the killall would send a sigterm signal...whereas you might need a less graceful sigkill signal to stamp it out | 07:52 |
| Severian | clint-, Have we met? | 07:52 |
| clint- | I rem, you had help me trouble shoot a lot of things | 07:52 |
| clint- | yes. | 07:52 |
| hipitihop | linuxlurker, seems so... the kill -9 seems to have done the trick .. many thanks | 07:52 |
| Severian | clint-, OK, glad I could help. I try. | 07:52 |
| === xyz is now known as hellyeah | ||
| pat5star | jud: or was that a typo? | 07:52 |
| clint- | back when I was running ubuntu from hedgehog to 6.06 LTS | 07:52 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, np | 07:52 |
| clint- | then I totally pushed myself.. | 07:53 |
| clint- | but I started on drake 10.0 Severian .. | 07:53 |
| jud | pat5star: `yeah ..well, i learnt something, cheers | 07:53 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: sudo service gdm stop, then edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in section "Module" change nvidia to nv. Save, then restart X - see what happens | 07:53 |
| clint- | also manage a lot of others systems.. if you know what I'm saying. I know you know | 07:53 |
| GeekSquid | pat5star: I'm drinking Pepsi, I had a gourmet, homecooked meal, and I am providing free support to 1500 people, ... Linux is anything but cliche | 07:53 |
| === Help is now known as Guest23123 | ||
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, htop has kill options as well..both sigterm and sigkill | 07:53 |
| clint- | not on a corporate level though | 07:53 |
| Severian | clint-, That was a while back. Mandriva is nice too. Is that what you mean by drake? | 07:53 |
| pat5star | jud: yep, that's the main thing. can't help you with gmail, I don't send a lot of emails so I don't know what to suggest other than a second account ;) | 07:53 |
| clint- | I was thinking about getting back into the ubuntu project | 07:53 |
| AphisOne | Can anyone help me with dkms please? | 07:53 |
| pat5star | GeekSquid: lol | 07:53 |
| clint- | it lacks security big time Severian | 07:53 |
| clint- | big time.. | 07:53 |
| clint- | I do so many changes to MSEC< and adding tomoyo linux and fail2ban, and more and more | 07:54 |
| anub | how do you get into windows to pull out a driver? | 07:54 |
| AphisOne | When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) the installed module is the newer version | 07:54 |
| Severian | Which lacks security? Ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| clint- | but issue was, I got this 2wire, that got hijacked last year | 07:54 |
| clint- | and whats funny is, the mac address, I have related it to a source mac address, and you would not believe in a million guesses who the source is. and what server its coming from | 07:54 |
| clint- | there almost identical, accept for the last 2 digits | 07:55 |
| greezmunkey | GeekSquid: the only thing wrong with that list is the word...free :/ | 07:55 |
| clint- | I swear my life to you on this Severian | 07:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | anyone knows how to get usb to be recognised in vbox as the tutorial in the ubuntu help page has not worked for me and /proc/bus/usb doesn't exist in my karmic system | 07:55 |
| Severian | clint-, there are a few things that can help the security of Ubuntu. I would say it is a midling secure Linux distro now. | 07:55 |
| clint- | I'm building a case, with US-CERT, sans, DHS< etc, | 07:55 |
| clint- | and even spoke to IP joint task force security in the UK | 07:55 |
| Omar87 | Hi do I make sure that my Firewall is functional? | 07:55 |
| clint- | but they weren't too happy about it | 07:55 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: getting a black screen right now... | 07:55 |
| clint- | in which they manage DoD networks. etc | 07:56 |
| Severian | clint-, mac addresses can be spoofed. It may not be who you think it is. | 07:56 |
| GeekSquid | greezmunkey: would it be as much fun if I was getting paid to do it? | 07:56 |
| clint- | yep | 07:56 |
| clint- | that I know too Severian | 07:56 |
| clint- | what I think is cool about what sonicwall said to me was. and I had told them, i want a good experience.. is the sonicwall I ordered and well others I guess, are alpha numeric | 07:56 |
| a3ist | the fact remains that today, as always, the vast vast majority of compromised systems are due to users and not software | 07:56 |
| a3ist | good policies and habits go much further towards security than anything else | 07:56 |
| clint- | and well Severian , I'm trying to motivate myself to get into studying proxy firewalls* | 07:56 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: nothing in Xorg.0.log that seems problematic | 07:57 |
| Severian | Omar87, turn it off. Then nothing will get through and it will be 100 percent effective. | 07:57 |
| ForgeAus | is it still safe to pin debian packages behind Ubuntu? | 07:57 |
| jud | pat5star: just for future reference, if i add new emails to that text file i just created but then want to eliminate dupes again, each one is now on a seperate line. so i'd just ' ' instead of ',' yeah/ | 07:57 |
| clint- | exactly Severian | 07:57 |
| clint- | I can spoof mac addresses as well.. hehe | 07:57 |
| corpse | does anyone have experience with making a bootable usb live disk? | 07:57 |
| clint- | itpraf and wireshark, wow, what simple tools to use.. along with others.. to obtain mac addresses from modems.. | 07:57 |
| clint- | good point on that Severian , I think this source Mac, probably is a spoof | 07:57 |
| clint- | man.. good 1 | 07:57 |
| clint- | ty | 07:57 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: gdm-session-worker[1518]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed | 07:57 |
| pat5star | jud: if each email is already on a new line, you can drop the whole tr part altogether | 07:58 |
| clint- | I didn't even think for 1 sec .. but gee.. I know they can be spoofed.. | 07:58 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: that's in syslog, only thing i can see failing | 07:58 |
| Omar87 | Severian, sorry. Can you please explain that? | 07:58 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: ok, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "EE" - then "WW" | 07:58 |
| clint- | so much goes through my mind, I wasn't even thinking about that.. | 07:58 |
| clint- | the thing is though Severian , its a google IP | 07:58 |
| clint- | google server, youtube* | 07:58 |
| clint- | funny eh? | 07:58 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) | 07:59 |

| arun1 | i need some help | 07:59 |
| AphisOne | No admins?!? | 07:59 |
| pat5star | jud: so it would be cat sort1.txt | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt instead of cat sort1.txt | tr ',' '\n' | sort | uniq > uniq-emails.txt | 07:59 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: (WW) The directory "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" does not exist. | 07:59 |
| GeekSquid | AphisOne: we are all volunteers, and admins, so please ask your question | 07:59 |
| clint- | this here Severian , 74.125.12.214 , the mac on it is.. 00:18:3f:9f:9f:29 | 07:59 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: you may have to start by backing that last change out. | 07:59 |
| arun1 | I cant connect to many websites from any of my browsers | 07:59 |
| GeekSquid | !ask | AphisOne | 07:59 |
| ubottu | AphisOne: 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. :-) | 07:59 |
| Severian | Omar87, you asked a fairly generic question. What does effective mean to you? I answered about one way of interpreting your question. If the firewall is supposed to keep bad guys out and you turn it off, then nobody gets into your network and so the firewall is 100 percent effective. | 07:59 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: from "nv" to "nvidia"? | 08:00 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: but at least now you know how to peruse the log... | 08:00 |
| greezmunkey | meechyes | 08:00 |
| clint- | robtex it.. utrace it, arin it.. isc.sans.org it | 08:00 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: yes | 08:00 |
| jud | pat5star: ok, cheers...ultimately i'd like to be able to send to everyone at once from the same address because they send submissions in to go into the e newsletter which i then compile and send out as a pdf. any ideas? | 08:00 |
| AphisOne | GeekSquid, I ask this because I have asked a question several times in the last five min and no one has even made note of it | 08:00 |
| clint- | I know how i want to go with this.. I have people and connections into media deals, that can get this on the Air | 08:00 |
| pat5star | jud: just thought of something for you.... | 08:00 |
| ForgeAus | grr got disconnected :( as I was saying is it still safe to pin Debian packages behind ubuntu? | 08:01 |
| clint- | I'm just working on trying to get my grammar speech better, and trimming things down, so I can get a powerful message out there to people | 08:01 |
| Omar87 | Severian, yeah, but how is it supposed to keep the bad guys out if I turn it off? | 08:01 |
| Severian | clint-, I don't have a good lookup for mac addresses. I just randomly make one up when I need it. The chances of a collision are so small. | 08:01 |
| teams | 大家好 | 08:01 |
| clint- | put it this way Seveas | 08:01 |
| clint- | Severian: * | 08:01 |
| clint- | if you installed iptraf, or wireshark | 08:01 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: so, i'm back to the beginning | 08:01 |
| clint- | okay.. you could.. ping that IP | 08:01 |
| clint- | and then you will see the Mac | 08:01 |
| clint- | :) | 08:01 |
| clint- | just like if you ping'd any other IP | 08:02 |
| Severian | Omar87, How would a bad guy get into your network if the firewall is turned off? Wouldn't they be blocked? | 08:02 |
| jud | pat5star: what's that? | 08:02 |
| AphisOne | Omar87, is this a software firewall? | 08:02 |
| clint- | you will see the mac source , if your running tools that have low level auditing , probing mechanisms :) | 08:02 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: is there a way to remove all the nvidia driver stuff from the computer? | 08:02 |
| Severian | Omar87, It may seem like a trick answer, but I am trying to point out that you need to ask more than is it effective. | 08:02 |
| hipitihop | linuxlurker, I see are you saying one of those is equivalent to -9 ? | 08:02 |
| clint- | I need to study programming language is what I need to do Severian | 08:03 |
| Omar87 | AphisOne, I'm using the Firewall configuration program. | 08:03 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: just, purge it all, and then reinstall it? | 08:03 |
| cutout | Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? | 08:03 |
| pat5star | jud: no I just checked something...it wouldn't work. I thought I had an idea for sending all those emails out in 1 shot but you're right, gmail does limit it and there's no getting around it, that I know of | 08:03 |
| clint- | but also I'm thinking. heck maybe the security in ubuntu is better than mdv.. heh | 08:03 |
| Omar87 | Severian, I used the word functional. | 08:03 |
| clint- | suse's I love | 08:03 |
| clint- | period | 08:03 |
| AphisOne | Severian, Omar87 is referring to the ubuntu firewall config | 08:03 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, yeah -9 is the sigkill | 08:03 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: not really, I mean you do have a nvidia card - you probably just need the *right* driver. | 08:03 |
| pat5star | jud: sorry, I'm sure someone else will have a solution. There has to be mailing lists or something you can hook up with to do this | 08:03 |
| Omar87 | Severian, in other words: "How do I make sure it's working?" | 08:03 |
| clint- | fedora and SElinux.. heh, bugs bugs bugs. and more bugs with its flawed MAC :P | 08:03 |
| hipitihop | linuxlurker, ok .. always something to learn :-) thanks for for the tips | 08:04 |
| linuxlurker | hipitihop, sigterm allows the app to exit gracefully...sigkill just kills it with potential for dataloss etc.. | 08:04 |
| AphisOne | When I run dkms I am told am given a warning: (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!) the installed module is the newer version | 08:04 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: what was the chip/model again? | 08:04 |
| clint- | funny thing, my archos 605 wifi 160GB runs tomoyo linux | 08:04 |
| Severian | Omar87, in this case, it is the same thing. Shut it off and nothing is routed to your computer. | 08:04 |
| clint- | and its an ARM device | 08:04 |
| corpse | right after the keyboard and the guy in the circle i get and error that says "initramfs stdin: I/O error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/capser/filesystem.squashfs) | 08:04 |
| Sakuya | can anyone help me with why the boot splash is not working right for me? | 08:04 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: thoughts on this thread? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192854&page=2 | 08:04 |
| cutout | anyone to help me with touchpad? | 08:04 |
| AphisOne | how do I make the built version the same as the installed version? | 08:04 |
| clint- | too bad I don't know enough to reverse engineer it and get any linux system running on it .. or LFS :) | 08:04 |
| clint- | who knows, maybe in the future | 08:04 |
| mechcozmo | greezmunkey: GeForce4 MX 440 | 08:04 |
| clint- | and Now I got to ubuntu-offtopic.. my bad.. :D | 08:05 |
| anub | I would avoid wireless in ubuntu more because it doesn't support most cards before I would say that wireless is unsecure | 08:05 |
| wildbat | corpse, CD? | 08:05 |
| clint- | you can hack the firmware | 08:05 |
| corpse | wildbat: yep | 08:05 |
| Severian | Omar87, what are you really trying to figure out? | 08:05 |
| clint- | I did that on an acer aspire 3610's broadcom.. | 08:05 |
| cutout | Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? | 08:05 |
| jud | pat5star: `ok, well thanks for your help.......one last thing. i'd like to save our conversation so i can figure things out next time. do you know how i can do that without all the background chatter? | 08:05 |
| clint- | thanks to firmware-cutter | 08:05 |
| clint- | the thing is though.. | 08:05 |
| clint- | I use thinkpads now*** | 08:05 |
| clint- | and have for a while*** | 08:05 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: that's pretty old. There are newer issues with nvidia, and newer fixes. | 08:05 |
| clint- | its all about reseaching , and seein'w how well the hardware is supported, and how much struggle you might need to get yourself into | 08:06 |
| wildbat | corpse, hold shift while boot ~ check the CD for integrity ~ it may be a bad burn ~ | 08:06 |
| clint- | rather than buying hardware, and then trying to figure things out..but it is challenging | 08:06 |
| pat5star | jud: yep, just a sec | 08:06 |
| cutout | Hi am using ubuntu 10.04 and every thing was good until I pressed the button that disables the touchpad on my keyboard and now it is not working even the config page for it in System__>Pref-->Mouse is gone!!! can anyone help me? | 08:06 |
| rms7 | hello, i have a question how can i log my daily chat in irc? | 08:06 |
| Severian | clint-, Thinkpad are nice laptops. I have mostly used them in the past. I currently have a Dell, but it is my first one. It was very cheap, and not as nice as the Thinkpad before it. (faster, though) | 08:06 |

| clint- | I can syn flood em for ya :) | 08:08 |
| rms7 | konsole | 08:08 |
| Omar87 | Severian, I see. It's just that I'm kinda worried that someone might sneak in and execute a reverse connection attack, and perhaps even gain root permission on my machine. | 08:08 |
| clint- | that IP looks like a spammer to me | 08:08 |
| Severian | corpe, it issued a bull? | 08:08 |
| wildbat | corpse, you have bad CD then ~ check the iso with md5sum to make sure it is valid download , and burns one in slowest speed possible | 08:08 |
| AphisOne | using dkms how do I make the built version of a module the same as the installed version? | 08:08 |
| wildbat | !md5sum | corpse | 08:09 |
| ubottu | corpse: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 08:09 |

| pat5star | jud: save all this text to a text file called chat.txt (you can name it better later, lol!) then run: grep -e "\(pat5star\|jud\)" chat.txt | 08:09 |
| clint- | I been blocking subnets, from China, Pakistan, and when Tokyo NTT OPen Computer Network started hitting, heh then it was on | 08:09 |
| clint- | but now that I got the sonicwall coming.. I"m excited.. | 08:09 |
| clint- | but also, this isn't only me, this is on a big deal.. a few security people I have talked to at US-CERT, and Level 3 Communcations a huge backbone carry. said.. yep its war | 08:10 |
| clint- | Severian: you see this too don't ya | 08:10 |
| clint- | greezmunkey: | 08:10 |
| pat5star | jud: oops, that will just print it to your screen, so to save this to a file add to the command like this: grep -e "\(pat5star\|jud\)" chat.txt > saved-chat.txt | 08:10 |
| clint- | its in Asia.. | 08:10 |
| Omar87 | Severian, yeah. Thanks for mentioning that. I'm gonna do it right away. | 08:10 |
| Krishnandu | Hey Guys....Still stuck with low graohics problem. Please say a solution :( | 08:10 |
| tsimpson | clint-: just ignore it | 08:10 |
| anub | I found the driver and installed it and it says "invalid driver" wth | 08:10 |
| fiyawerx_ | he can't, its too much to brag about | 08:10 |
| clint- | crap | 08:11 |
| pat5star | jud: I suck at coming up with good, meaningful file names, you can change it accordingly lol :) | 08:11 |
| clint- | my mistake! | 08:11 |
| clint- | for real, yep NZ | 08:11 |
| clint- | but china, and I" not racist for all means.. | 08:11 |
| greezmunkey | clint NZ | 08:11 |
| Severian | clint-, settle down, there, chap. It is just a firewall. The bad thing about SonicWalls is you have to pay an expensive subscription fee to keep them up to date. Without that, they become worthless fairly soon. Ones that have dropped off subscription go cheap on eBay. | 08:11 |
| Krishnandu | Hey guys any solution for low graphics problem?? | 08:11 |
| clint- | China, Japan, Russia, and some other.s. Pakistan, and these backbone networks, I have tons of proof.. I have done full nmap scanning on these attacking IP's.. tcp/udp and its scary to see what there running | 08:11 |
| tsimpson | !ot | clint- | 08:11 |
| ubottu | clint-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 08:11 |
| clint- | sorry I"m just been in a huge paranoid state :( | 08:12 |
| Severian | Omar87, To do it right, you need to run the pen testing tool on another computer. | 08:12 |
| clint- | I would get a beer, but I took a Exedrin | 08:12 |
| clint- | yeah I know Severian | 08:12 |
| clint- | most of the features in it though I can use | 08:12 |
| sanderj | My first 80gb partition is windows.. can I install Ubuntu into the second partition at the same disk then? | 08:12 |
| clint- | I'm not worried about all the other stuff.. | 08:12 |
| anub | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel :P | 08:12 |
| clint- | I plan on having a smoothwall box or pfsense, | 08:13 |
| clint- | up and running..* | 08:13 |
| Severian | clint-, And some of them are quite nice looking. | 08:13 |
| Omar87 | Severian, I see. | 08:13 |
| clint- | or a watchguard* | 08:13 |
| sanderj | Or do I need to have Linux as the first partition? | 08:13 |
| Omar87 | Severian, That's easy. :) | 08:13 |
| sanderj | ..to be able to boot it. | 08:13 |
| clint- | hey Severian | 08:13 |
| kuttans | hello everybody | 08:13 |
| Krishnandu | Guys any solution for Low Graphics Error problem?? | 08:13 |
| Severian | clint-, I have an old watchguard I am setting up to run pfSense. | 08:13 |
| clint- | its got to be better then the speed stream 5100 I have and the 2wire.. 2700 HG-B | 08:13 |
| Krishnandu | Please help | 08:13 |
| kuttans | im using lucid lynx | 08:13 |
| tsimpson | sanderj: you can install it on any partition, windows usually likes to be the on the first though | 08:13 |
| AphisOne | clint-, use pfSense... it works better and has better support | 08:13 |
| clint- | yeah I see many people running pfsense on the watchguard hehe | 08:13 |
| kuttans | anyone having a problem in update lucid lynx | 08:14 |
| clint- | yeah I have done some research on pfsense. | 08:14 |
| greezmunkey | !who | 08:14 |
| ubottu | 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 :) | 08:14 |
| sanderj | tsimpson, so the boot sector dosn't need to be first? | 08:14 |
| Krishnandu | <kuttans> Yup | 08:14 |
| tsimpson | clint-: please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic | 08:14 |
| Severian | clint-, It has that nice pyramid LED display and is bright red. | 08:14 |
| clint- | but does it support.. IP/and/IP range, subnet blocking. mac address blocking? | 08:14 |
| clint- | the sonicwall I ordered does.. | 08:14 |
| kuttans | whats the problem Krishnandu | 08:14 |
| sanderj | tsimpson, good :-) | 08:14 |
| clint- | and well rem, I'm conserving power right now.. | 08:14 |
| Krishnandu | <kuttans> I'm getting Low Graphics Error after the update.Many users are facing the same too | 08:14 |
| clint- | was laid off from CAT | 08:14 |
| tsimpson | sanderj: the boot sector is not on a partition | 08:14 |
| clint- | gotcha | 08:14 |
| kuttans | ohh not that im having all graphics working | 08:14 |
| clint- | sorry peeps | 08:15 |
| clint- | I"m still interested in ubuntu though. see how its working and operating now :) | 08:15 |
| Severian | Krishnandu, I had to create a xorg.conf file on some Ubuntu 9.10 machines. I have not upgraded them yet, but that may be your solution, too. | 08:15 |
| clint- | is the password encryption using blowfish, if not AES 128/256/512 ? | 08:15 |
| sanderj | tsimpson, oh, ok.. So the boot sector which has windows bootup now.. will be overwritten with a Linux boot sector, and thats all needed to boot Linux and windows? | 08:15 |
| pat5star | jud: actually I just refined that a bit better, cause I have some chat with others you won't want...use this instead: grep -e "\(pat5star.*jud\|jud.*pat5star\)" chat.txt > saved-chat.txt | 08:15 |
| AphisOne | using dkms how do I make the built version of a module the same as the installed version? | 08:16 |
| Krishnandu | <Severian> Well......I've created that too | 08:16 |
| Krishnandu | <Severian> But no result | 08:16 |
| clint- | Severian: is ubuntu current not using an xorg config now? | 08:16 |
| Severian | Krishnandu, What kind of video hardware do these users have? | 08:16 |
| pat5star | jud: that will save only the lines where you and I are talking to each other | 08:16 |
| clint- | I had to do the same for osuse 11.2 | 08:16 |
| tsimpson | sanderj: yes, grub will be put there and you should be given the option at boot to choose either windows or linux | 08:16 |
| clint- | but I wrote it well :) | 08:16 |
| Krishnandu | <Severian> I've 9500GT | 08:16 |
| mebi | こん | 08:16 |
| clint- | tsimpson: am I back on topic now? | 08:16 |
| Severian | clint-, by default, there is no xorg.conf file, but it is used if you create one. | 08:16 |
| clint- | my bad man | 08:16 |

| Krishnandu | <Severian> Still no positive reult | 08:17 |

| dagon | Krishnandu, when you update to a new version of ubuntu your best best is putting it on a live cd and installing it from that | 08:18 |
| Krishnandu | <mechcozmo> I'm net even getting the GUI after the update | 08:19 |
| mechcozmo | Krishnandu: neither do i | 08:19 |

| anub | thank you!!! | 08:25 |

| Severian | Krishnandu, I was away testing a fix to one of my computers. After updating to the latest kernel, my X stopped working. So, you are not alone. Your problem is worse, though. nVidia won't open source their drivers and so kernel updates sometime cause video problems. Blame Nvidia, not Ubuntu. | 08:25 |
| rms7 | 08:26 | |
| fiyawerx_ | kernel updates can cause problems with open drivers just as easily | 08:26 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: sorry, but it should just disable the bad driver, and show me a screen that says "sorry, but we have no choice, hey, at least we aren't totally borking your entire install" | 08:26 |
| Severian | fiyawerx_, They can cause ploblems, but not just as easily. The kernel developers usually fix the open source drivers to work with new kernel releases. They can't do that with closed source drivers. | 08:27 |
| Galerien | +1 severian | 08:28 |
| betaman | Hi. I need help... | 08:28 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: so... disable them and get users mad at nvidia because pretty graphics don't work instead of royally messing up user's installations and getting them mad at Ubuntu | 08:28 |
| leetsweden | Is it any application on linux comparision Snowtape on mac?.. It's a music-application as Rythmbox or iTunes. But it records Internetradio (any audio-stream) and adding meta-data (artist, title, album, album-cover etc.) and then makes it to separate MP3-files. and it removes the commercial in all clips... | 08:28 |
| JackStoner | betaman: ask the qn | 08:28 |
| Galerien | betaman: just ask your question, we know you need help, that's why you are here | 08:28 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, It does not mess up your whole install. Like I just went through, it is fixable. I sshed to the machine from another computer, edited the xorg.conf file and rebooted. It took me 2 boots, but it works now. | 08:29 |
| SUCXRI | SIANC | 08:29 |
| betaman | On a machine with two disks 1-vista 2- ubuntu 10.4 (upgraded from 9) I can't boot into vist | 08:29 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: been there, done that, not working | 08:29 |
| betaman | the pc just resets... | 08:29 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: and if i didn't have another machine to ssh in from (see: my grandparents) then what? | 08:29 |
| JackStoner | betaman: when u start it it resets?? do u get to log in? | 08:30 |
| pat5star | Glad I'm reading this...I've only done one upgrade (this laptop I'm on now which has a crappy Intel video card) to lucid, but I have a couple others still on karmic. one of them being my good desktop which has nvidia. I think I'll hold off a little while yet :) | 08:30 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, I always have a few spare computers. Doesn't everone? | 08:30 |
| betaman | when I choose vista loader it resets... | 08:30 |
| betaman | This happened after upgrading... | 08:30 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: you have just proved why this is such a PITA | 08:30 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, What you are complaining about is somewhat reasonable. It should fail more gracefully. People are working on that. In the meantime, we do the best we can. | 08:31 |
| JackStoner | betaman: you need to update your grub menu | 08:31 |
| JackStoner | !grub-update | 08:31 |
| Heebie | last heebie | 08:31 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: it's pretty much why i don't encourage anyone to use linux; i don't want to clean up after they upgrade | 08:31 |
| massimo | Hello. Since update to Lucid I cannot use my kolab kontacts anymore. Kolab is disabled as KDE ressource for contacts. | 08:32 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, I don't know what the article this refers to. If it is Ubuntu, then I heartily disagree. And that argument is pointless anyway. What can we actually help you with today? | 08:32 |
| jud | hey all, i run a voluntary newsletter for artists in my area. they send in something about what they're doing in the following month, i compile it into a pdf and send it to everyone on the list at the beginning of each month. I was using a gmail account but after the list increased to over 500 i would have to wait 12 hours as 500 is the max limit google allows every 12 hours. The list has since grown to around 1400 and so the gmail optio | 08:32 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: i upgraded to 10.04 LTS from 9.10, and now, i have no video | 08:33 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: that's not a good reason really...once you get lucid working, and since it's lts, it'll work flawless for a long, long time! | 08:33 |
| betaman | it say command not found... | 08:33 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, Linux is much less trouble to maintain on a regular basis than eith of it main rivals. They each have problems, and Ubuntu is a nice solution. | 08:33 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: i run FreeBSD and OS X typically, but for MythTV, i need Linux | 08:33 |
| JackStoner | betaman: that was not the command, its sudo update-grub | 08:34 |
| greezmunkey | jud: It sounds like you should be running a webserver - let your artists come to you... | 08:34 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: both of those have never failed an update, or left the computer in an unusable state | 08:34 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: however, totally beside the point | 08:34 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: i am _now_ trying to get some shiny-shiny graphics again on my Ubuntu installation | 08:34 |
| ivsdrn | need help: usb floppy mitsumi not accesible on ubuntu. where to dounload the drive? | 08:35 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: i'd be happy to express my views to you on OS design, etc. in an offtopic channel, later | 08:35 |
| betaman | jackstoner:done it but same result... | 08:35 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, FreeBSD has done the same thing to me and was much more trouble to fix. But, back to your problem. Can you ssh to the machine that has no video? Or, can you use a virtual console to edit files? | 08:35 |
| jud | greezmunkey: `right, I had installed apache actually in the interests of maybe hosting a website but i haven't strated learning how to use that yet. So i could set up an email account with that which would have no restrictions? | 08:36 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: yes; it is only accessibly via SSH | 08:36 |
| greezmunkey | jud: what about your isp? | 08:36 |
| JackStoner | betaman: mmmh..what is in your grub menu file? | 08:37 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, My first suggestion is to see if it will boot using vesa drivers. You can see what the file should look like here. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes | 08:37 |
| greezmunkey | jud: most acounts allow for a few mailboxes, and for the ability to send mail - you just need to check on that. | 08:37 |
| JackStoner | or if u want an easier way u can reinstall grub | 08:37 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: I don't have any of those chips | 08:38 |
| betaman | you mean menu.lst ? After upgrading to 10.4 I can't find it in /boot/grub ... | 08:38 |
| jud | greezmunkey: ok, i'll do that. any other options i might have? | 08:38 |
| kritzi | is there a way to install packages from i386 arch from x86_64 system with apt? | 08:38 |
| lars_bauer | how do i user apt-get to upgrade my ubuntu gnome desktop | 08:39 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, I don't use Nvidia anymore. I did not like tainting my kernel of the hassles it causes because of the proprietary drivers. I'll try to help, but I don't guarantee success. If you are going to lose your temper, lets not start. | 08:39 |
| JackStoner | betaman: i suggest u reinstall grub | 08:39 |
| red2kic | kritzi: No. | 08:39 |
| betaman | jackstoner: how can I reinstall it...I'm a newbie here... | 08:39 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: I need nvidia drivers for HW acceleration; i'm thankful for the help | 08:39 |
| hunahpu | lars_bauer: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade ?? | 08:39 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, it does not matter about the chips. Use the exaple they posted about setting up for the vesa drivers. | 08:39 |
| JackStoner | lars_bauer: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 08:39 |
| rocket16 | + | 08:39 |
| Fudge | hi guys how can i run fsck or similar on ntfs partition please | 08:39 |
| greezmunkey | jud: once you know what your isp supports, you should be able to get empathy set up to connect. As far as sending thousands of emails from that account - you'll have to clear that with them. They won't let themselves get blacklisted because of spamming. | 08:39 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, my goal was to get you up and running and then worry about acceleration. | 08:40 |
| JackStoner | betaman: sudo aptitude install grub | 08:40 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: fair enough | 08:40 |
| pat5star | jud: if your isp provides email accounts they may not have the restrictions you face with gmail. Another alternative is setting up your own mail server which can be a bit of work but once set up you can do whatever you want. If you go that route, I'd use postfix, it's a great mailserver and easy to maintain | 08:40 |
| lars_bauer | hunahpu, JackStoner thx | 08:41 |
| JackStoner | welcome | 08:41 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: no dice, back at the login: prompt | 08:41 |
| Fudge | ntfs chkdsk or similar tool for ubuntu lucid? | 08:41 |
| greezmunkey | jud: short of paying for a fixed ip, you can register a domain at godaddy, or the like, and maybe setup a DynDNS account for your server. Then you can run your own mailserver | 08:41 |
| Severian | jud, you are asking about sending out lots of email, right. It sounds like you need a mailing list and not a mail account. Both google and yahoo offer such services. | 08:42 |
| betaman | jackstoner:still the same problem :( | 08:42 |
| greezmunkey | Severian: nice catch, there it is. | 08:42 |
| TwoD | doh, why don't problems fix themselves until you're about to show someone else it's broken? | 08:42 |
| fqh | Hi, all of lubuntu kubuntu and xunbntu are not official distribution? | 08:42 |
| hunahpu | fqh: kubuntu and xubuntu are official | 08:43 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, you edit that file and rebooted, or did a startx or what? | 08:43 |
| JackStoner | betaman: im out of ideas, gimme time to think, sorry | 08:43 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: edited and restarted | 08:43 |
| blackpixel | Fudge: apt-cache search ntfs might help | 08:43 |
| fqh | hunahpu: OK | 08:43 |

| Severian | mechcozmo, login and try a startx. See what error you get. | 08:43 |
| clint- | Hope the ubuntu base keeps getting better for you all, I Might test it later on.. | 08:43 |

| clint- | Severian: nice talking to you | 08:44 |
| clint- | sorry to all for the enter and offtopic stuff | 08:44 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, That should be fixable. I have done it before, but it took a little time. | 08:44 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: feel like i need to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure" | 08:44 |
| iflema | its a big room clint- thats all | 08:44 |
| Severian | clint-, good night. | 08:44 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: can't remember the package name | 08:44 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, What package name? | 08:45 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: for X | 08:45 |
| greezmunkey | mechcozmo: You can redo your x config with: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 08:45 |
| mechcozmo | Severian & greezmunkey: ah, that one | 08:45 |
| lucas | hola alguien habla español? | 08:45 |

| lucas | excuse me some body know a sofware for video capture?¿? | 08:46 |
| mechcozmo | Severian & greezmunkey: no dice | 08:47 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, I was going to have you make more edits to xorg.conf. If reconfigure works, that is even better. As a fallback, is the nv driver an option. That is the open driver, but I hear it may be getting old. | 08:47 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: i have tried using the nv driver, no change | 08:47 |
| hunahpu | lucas: you can do it with Kino I think | 08:47 |
| wildbat | hmmm my Crtl-Alt-f1/2/3/4/5.... not working .... hmmmmm | 08:47 |

| Big_Laz | is there a multimedia room? I've got a question about avchd support | 08:50 |

| mechcozmo | Severian: fair enough; i'll be around. thanks | 08:51 |

| dub_nz | Hi everyone. Can anyone here kindly provide help with configuring dhcp3-server on 10.04 desktop (64bit) for use with firestarter? | 08:52 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, Try changing the xorg.conf file for one more thing. Just change the vesa to generic. No other changes at the moment. | 08:53 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: lol. that's why I only upgraded my laptop right now. it just has intel video but I even had a little problem with it at first. all's good now though and overall, I'm really liking lucid, so I say it's worth the trouble you're going through :) | 08:53 |
| tt5786 | is it niles or something | 08:53 |
| Big_Laz | No one seems to be in the studio room. so maybe someone here can help (I'm hope). I've tried searching the forums, but I'm curious about avchd support in ubuntu | 08:54 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: yeah... my laptop is OS X 10.6 running off an SSD in the ExpressCard port | 08:54 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: so fast :) | 08:54 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: no dice :-( | 08:54 |

| mechcozmo | Severian: '(EE) Failed to load module "generic" (module does not exist, 0)' | 08:54 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: the nice thing about using an ExpressCard is i get to keep the comparatively-big HDD for storage | 08:55 |
| mechcozmo | music, etc. | 08:55 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: how big is your ssd? | 08:55 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: 48GB | 08:56 |

| sylon | does the latest ubuntu use grub2? | 08:56 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: what fs do you use on it? | 08:56 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: HFS+, Journaled | 08:56 |

| pat5star | mechcozmo: oh that's why...don't use macs here | 08:57 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: HFS+ is a nice filesystem... certainly showing its age, but still holding up quite well | 08:57 |
| BOB6775 | hiho | 08:58 |
| MACscr | is there any type of firewall app that will analize logs for brute force attempts and port scans and add those ip's to the iptables firewall? | 08:58 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: nothing against them, just what scares me away is everyone I know that tried mac became instant fanboy, obsessed, and all they do is talk about it and praise how wonderful it is. I'm afraid of turning into that ;) | 08:58 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: the in-file-system compression added with 10.6 is pretty convenient | 08:58 |

| mechcozmo | pat5star: hesitate longer before reaching for Windows :p | 08:59 |
| DJones | BOB6775: If you're getting rid of linux completely, just put your windows cd in and follow its installer, probably better to ask in ##windows though | 09:00 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: I'm going to have to try one out someday. I really do know some people that have switched over and they just absolutely love everything about them. | 09:00 |

| mechcozmo | pat5star: i'd suggest trying a Mac; worst case, they hold their retail value really well after three months | 09:02 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: what I've always wondered about macs is if you can tweak configs and settings as freely as you can with linux. are you basically able to change anything and everything if you want? is there a lot of common stuff available too like cron, grep, etc.? | 09:03 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, OK, I am thinking something like this: http://pastebin.com/ya2nHjBZ | 09:03 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: you can tweak a lot of the configs and settings; all your standard *NIX utils are there, but cron has been depreciated | 09:03 |
| pat5star | vak: you using nm or wicd? | 09:03 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: for what? | 09:04 |

| Severian | sealive. It is just a symlink to the real python. | 09:17 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: other nice things is the freeware/shareware community... sometimes you need a GUI application, and the stuff for Macs is top-notch | 09:17 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: look at TextWrangler; it's the king of free text editors | 09:17 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: and it's why I waited until this week for lucid with this laptop because i had hoped enough time passed that the stupid big bugs had been ironed out | 09:18 |
| sealive | Severian: So how do i fix this | 09:18 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: when you make money on people not being pissed at stupid bugs because you run a company... there aren't stupid bugs | 09:18 |
| Severian | sealive, I don't know the problem. fix what? | 09:18 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: you need an older version of python? | 09:18 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: granted, sometimes Apple doesn't fix bugs that are small for some time, but there are maybe three or four cases in the last decade that's actually been a problem | 09:19 |
| vic20gmr | im trying to play freeorion, and it belongs to root, and i cant make it executable | 09:19 |
| vic20gmr | any1? | 09:19 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: meanwhile, Firefox still has bugzilla tickets in the triple digits from way-back-when | 09:19 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: I got 2.5 and 2.6 on the system | 09:19 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: I'll check it out, never heard of it till now. I use vim and love it, so text editors isn't an issue for me but if I have to use a gui I stick with kate or kwrite...on windows I actually really, really like textpad | 09:19 |
| iflema | ouyes oh yeah.... f ya lock the screen on ya screen saver it prob will not work..... the setting for that is below the blank_screen | 09:20 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: i installt python-libbost 1.38 new | 09:20 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: TextWrangler (and BBEdit, paid, but I use it because it is amazing) can't be beat | 09:20 |
| aks_ | iam unable to share internet connection on the ad hoc network created in ubuntu | 09:20 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: TextMate might be able to challenge them, but that's also OS X | 09:20 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: what app is giving the error? | 09:20 |
| vic20gmr | i have an ancient bbedit i ran on my g3 | 09:20 |
| vic20gmr | hehe | 09:20 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, TextWrangler is nice. I use it on my G3 iBook. | 09:20 |
| pat5star | mechcozmo: oh I understand what you mean about bugs, I like linux for my work, but I wouldn't roll it out to a big office of average users | 09:20 |
| vic20gmr | debian for "bigger" stuff req'ing more stability than ubuntu | 09:21 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: the system itself misses now python2.5-minimal python-lxml python-numpy python-reportlab python-reportlab-accel python-uniconvertor python2.5 | 09:21 |
| sealive | the system depends on python 2.5 | 09:22 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: you've done ur updates? | 09:22 |
| Severian | pat5star, Linux is better for a group of most users than OSX or Windows. They each have their own problems. I show average users how to use it pretty often. | 09:22 |
| sealive | yes | 09:22 |
| sealive | but apt-get and synaptc uses this files | 09:22 |
| slimjimflim | 'the system itself'? | 09:22 |
| sealive | do only dpkg is availebel | 09:22 |
| sealive | and it simply does not work to reinstall | 09:23 |
| slimjimflim | i don't even understand what you're trying to do | 09:23 |
| sealive | Start synaptics Fail | 09:23 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: there's all kinds of nice little features Apple throws in for power users; it takes time to learn all the tricks of the trade, but it is all very well thought out and integrates nicely | 09:23 |
| Severian | sealive, There is a lot of traffic in this channel. I don't know your root problem and so I answered what I saw you ask. | 09:23 |
| pat5star | Severian: I show (and sometimes convert) regular folk linux all the time. In the context I was talking before, I wouldn't roll out linux to a large office of average users that required a full os though just because I couldn't stand the whining... | 09:23 |
| oCean_ | Severian: pat5star mechcozmo this is technical support only - discuss offtopic in #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:23 |
| pat5star | Severian: that's where I'd *gasp* go with windows. in other instances, sure I'd go with linux, in fact I'd prefer it! | 09:24 |
| sealive | Severian: i did talk to slimjimflim | 09:24 |
| slimjimflim | ok, so from the cli, type 'synaptic' and pastebin the output | 09:24 |
| Severian | sealive, Are you ok now, then? | 09:24 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: ^^ | 09:24 |
| mechcozmo | fair enough... pat5star, i'm willing to answer any other questions you have; i'm pretty candid, although i have my biases; usually pretty good about admitting those, too | 09:25 |
| mechcozmo | pat5star: (in #ubuntu-offtopic, i mean) | 09:25 |

| MACscr | anyone recommend an easy way to save a login sessions so when you log back in, all your programs are open again where they were? | 09:29 |
| Severian | sealive What do you get from ls -l /usr/bin/python | 09:29 |
| sealive | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2010-05-02 14:00 /usr/bin/python -> /usr/bin/python2.5 | 09:29 |
| sealive | so only the linking is the problem maybee | 09:30 |
| greezmunkey | MACscr: look here: http://linux.about.com/library/gnome/blgnome3n3d.htm | 09:30 |
| MACscr | greezmunkey: im not seeing sessions in 10.4, not in the preferences menu | 09:31 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: try this: | 09:31 |
| sealive | Severian: how is the command to link it against python2.6 | 09:31 |
| slimjimflim | sudo apt-get remove python | 09:31 |
| richapple | hi everybody. ubuntu 10.04, sound not working | 09:32 |
| greezmunkey | MACscr: in a terminal type: man gnome-session-save - see what it tells you, sorry. | 09:32 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: and then | 09:32 |
| siji | hi | 09:32 |
| greezmunkey | MACscr: did it tell you command not found, or some such? | 09:32 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: woudent it be better to simply change the link? | 09:33 |
| siji | anbody faces prblm with configuring mysql in ubuntu 10.4 server edition | 09:33 |
| Severian | sealive, look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link | 09:33 |
| slimjimflim | sealive: maybe, but lets remove python and then reinstall it first | 09:33 |
| slimjimflim | if it's still broken, we can take other actions | 09:33 |
| slimjimflim | try this: | 09:33 |
| slimjimflim | dpkg --get-selections|grep python | 09:33 |
| slimjimflim | see if there are any other python related packages still installed | 09:34 |
| slimjimflim | remove them | 09:34 |
| Severian | sealive, Is this computer running Karmic or Lucid. Your symlink points to Python 2.5. Even Jaunty used Python 2.6 | 09:35 |
| aks_ | rrrrrim not able to share the internet on the ad hoc created in ubuntu | 09:35 |
| sealive | Severian: Karmicamd64 | 09:36 |
| Severian | sealive, reinstalling python may be a good idea. What I'd worry about is what else is messed up. Did your upgrade have visible problems? | 09:36 |
| sealive | Severian: i now uninstall python like slimjimflim said | 09:37 |
| sealive | it is removing 870MB right now | 09:37 |
| Severian | sealive, That is scary. You are probably removing things you need. | 09:38 |
| sealive | i think the hole system goes! | 09:38 |
| c13 | I am connected via ppp0. I want to share the internet to the network via eth0. How can i set up the network-manager to share the internet? | 09:38 |
| slimjimflim | WHAT? | 09:38 |
| slimjimflim | what all are u uninstalling sealive ? | 09:39 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: using the proprietary hardware thang in Ubuntu, i managed to get using the right nvidia drivers again | 09:39 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: this is a bit technical, and assumes a few things, but have a look: http://www.facebook.com/notes/ubuntu-nepal/internet-connection-sharing-in-linux-over-ad-hoc-wireless/356751763898 | 09:39 |
| sealive | slimjimflim: sudo apt-get remove python | 09:39 |
| slimjimflim | ok | 09:39 |
| NFischer | @all How can i channge duration of beeing root after executing a sudo-command in terminal? | 09:40 |
| Severian | mechcozmo, I am glad to hear it. It sounds like you are back to where you want to be. Have a good day. | 09:40 |
| johnPL | hello i search graphic driver for ati radeon x1100 | 09:40 |
| mechcozmo | Severian: was sort of hand-wavy; didn't work the first time, but did after installing the packages via Synaptic, restarting the box, and then going back into the restricted drivers panel | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | aks_: Did you set the ad hok network as "shared" in network manager? | 09:40 |
| aks_ | jordan_u yes | 09:41 |
| Severian | sealive, Mark Shuttleworth is a python programmer. Python is used for lots of things on Ubuntu and is a dependancy. My guess is you will end up reinstalling, if you really did the uninstall. | 09:41 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: is it set that way right now, if so type ifconfig to see what IP addresses you were given. | 09:42 |
| slimjimflim | NFischer: man sudoers | 09:43 |
| red2kic | sealive: I'm Mark Shuttleworth. I lol'd at you guys when I was on the moon. | 09:43 |
| vak | pat5star: (sorry, missed your message) how could I check if it is nm or wicd? | 09:43 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey 10.42.43.1 | 09:43 |
| vak | iflema: no networking failed on boot only once. nothing changed | 09:43 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: exactly, that address is on the ad-hoc then, right? | 09:44 |
| enriq | how to use the volume label when mounting from nautilus? currently volume is mounted by uuid | 09:44 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey please wait | 09:44 |
| enriq | I mean in /media/<uuid> | 09:44 |
| vak | pat5star: dpkg -l |grep wicd ==> nothing | 09:44 |
| richapple | hi everybody. ubuntu 10.04, sound not working. it show then it's turned off. what should i do? | 09:45 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: SYSTEM is grayd out | 09:45 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: is this seatek ? | 09:45 |
| vak | pat5star: i guess, I have nm (anyway I have something coming by default with ubuntu) | 09:45 |
| Selive-win98 | i am now on the old | 09:45 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: jes | 09:45 |
| slimjimflim | the whole system is grayed out? | 09:46 |
| Selive-win98 | all python using aps are gone | 09:46 |
| kowna | cannot run xsane for my hp f380. After "scanning for devices", it comes back with "no device available". i have checked the connection, udev rules. what else to check? | 09:46 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: only terminal is here | 09:46 |
| slimjimflim | so do sudo apt-get install python now | 09:46 |
| Selive-win98 | no gedit no firerfoy no aps all gone | 09:46 |
| wildbat | how do i setting up the buttons for my "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse ? | 09:46 |
| v3trae | Hey guys. Trying to shorten an NTFS drive to make room for a linux install. Fdisk can read that the partition is ntfs, but gparted reports that it can't tell the filesystem, so it refuses to resize. Any ideas? | 09:47 |
| slimjimflim | all you need is cli | 09:47 |
| greezmunkey | kowna: xsanes supported scanner list, trust me if it's not there you are out of luck. | 09:47 |
| johnPL | how update kadu in bt4 ?? | 09:47 |
| kowna | greezmunkey: which file holds the list? | 09:47 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey yes its dere..i updated it right now | 09:47 |
| ikonia | johnPL: we don't support back track here | 09:47 |
| johnPL | apt-get update kadu is not working | 09:47 |
| bazhang | johnPL, #backtrack-linux for bt4 support | 09:47 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: how can i use apt-get if itself uses python | 09:48 |
| Selive-win98 | i only can use dpkg | 09:48 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: so the machine at the other end of the ad-hoc gets what address? | 09:48 |
| Jordan_U | johnPL: But honestly, a security based distro that runs the entire desktop environment as root... | 09:48 |
| slimjimflim | oh | 09:48 |
| MACscr | after adding a ppa, how do i take advantage of it? im trying to upgrade evolutoin | 09:49 |

| aks_ | greezmunkey i didnt get you\ | 09:49 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: python2.5 first or python minimal | 09:49 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: so can you install python again then with dpkg? | 09:49 |
| Jordan_U | Selive-win98: apt-get doesn't depend on python | 09:49 |
| slimjimflim | hmmm, running karmic? | 09:49 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey the same address which i have specified | 09:50 |
| Loshki | kowna: I was only able to run xsane as root due to a permissions problem, solved by chmod-ing the usb device. Does it work under sudo? | 09:50 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: karmic? | 09:50 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: YES | 09:50 |
| iflema | MACscr apt-get/aptitude or synaptic | 09:50 |
| slimjimflim | hold on, lemme look that up | 09:50 |
| bullgard4 | On my USB pendrive there are 2 special directories /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/files and /media/ACER/.Trash-1000/info. How to properly delete their contents? | 09:50 |
| Jordan_U | Selive-win98: Before installing anything else, install apt., | 09:50 |
| enriq | how to change the default mountpoint when mounting an external hdd from nautilus? it defaults to /media/<uuid>... | 09:50 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: you are sharing an Internet connection on your PC - via ad-hoc to another wifi machine, right? | 09:51 |
| MACscr | iflema: i did sudo apt-get upgrade, but its saying that a few packages have been "kept back". Whats that all about? it includes the stuff i am needing | 09:51 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: what address is the machine at the other end getting? | 09:51 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: looks like you should beusing python 2.6 | 09:51 |
| wildbat | enriq, mount it manually ~? | 09:51 |
| kowna | hp f380 is not in /etc/sane.d. is that the end of the matter? | 09:51 |
| slimjimflim | no worries though, you can just wget the deb | 09:51 |
| Selive-win98 | system is now done | 09:51 |
| Selive-win98 | no more inputs | 09:51 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: done with what? | 09:51 |
| wildbat | anyone can show me how do i setting up the buttons for "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse? | 09:51 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: what was it doing before? | 09:51 |
| slimjimflim | uninstalling still? | 09:52 |
| Selive-win98 | i try grub recover | 09:52 |
| iflema | MACscr its about all the dependencies that need to go with it.... best to stick with the release..... | 09:52 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: do you still have a cli? | 09:52 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: DOWN | 09:52 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: can you boot into recover mode? | 09:52 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey u there? | 09:52 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: i eaven cant hit the shut off | 09:52 |
| slimjimflim | recovery | 09:53 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: hold down the power button until it shuts off | 09:53 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: Oh, ok that should work...yes I am | 09:53 |
| mdkaneda55 | enriq: i'm pretty sure adding an entry for the external HDD in /etc/fstab would let u customize the mountpoint | 09:53 |
| slimjimflim | turn it back on and go to the recovery shell | 09:53 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: what is the other address on the internet connected machine? | 09:53 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: ok what is the key to go into grub start picture | 09:53 |
| Jordan_U | slimjimflim: Please don't recommend installing anything with dpkg except apt itself. apt has very few dependencies and will let you install anything else safely and easily. | 09:54 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: see if you can ping that from the far end machine | 09:54 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey :- wat do you mean? | 09:54 |
| slimjimflim | Jordan_U: ook | 09:54 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: dude | 09:54 |

| MACscr | iflema: thanks, i figured it out | 09:54 |

| kowna | Loshki: under /dev/usb there is only lp0 and it is now 660. | 09:55 |
| kj1986 | finally | 09:55 |
| greezmunkey | aks_: one of the pcs has two interfaces, one is connected to the Internet, the other is the ad-hoc. What is the Internet interfaces IP address. Ping that from the far end wifi machine to see if it works or not. | 09:56 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: i am now into consol login | 09:57 |
| enriq | mdkaneda55, ok it worked (as nautilus tried to mount in my fstab defined mountpoint) but complains "only root can mount to /media/MYMOUNTPOINT". I chown /media/MYMOUNTPOINT but still the same | 09:57 |
| Fudge | im confused about a software raid it seems on this laptop, it has /sda /sdb and sda3 and sda4 appear to be the data drive both round 140gig and i dont know how to mount it correctly | 09:57 |
| Fudge | i think its software raid anyway, when trying to ntfsfix it said about dmraid | 09:58 |
| slimjimflim | Selive-win98: ok, so then let's install apt | 09:58 |
| kj1986 | how can we switch on/off ethernet in ubuntu 9.10 | 09:58 |

| quiescens | o.O | 09:58 |
| Severian | kj1986, ifconfig eth down | 09:58 |
| mdkaneda55 | enriq: sudo mount -a | 09:58 |
| mdkaneda55 | enriq: oh, hmm.... when plugging in it complains? | 09:59 |
| xs2ubuntu | hello | 09:59 |
| Severian | kj1986, of course, you need sudo and you need to specify the real eth port. | 09:59 |
| Selive-win98 | slimjimflim: system is down i reinstall the system new | 09:59 |
| enriq | mdkaneda55, yes, when plugging the drive | 09:59 |
| Selive-win98 | BY | 09:59 |
| Loshki | kowna: the entry I changed on mine was /dev/bus/usb/005/008 to crw-rw-r-- | 09:59 |

| xs2ubuntu | Severian :: can u help me to solve my prob not?? | 10:01 |
| kj1986 | Severian: Yeah, I am not able to figure out if I can switch on/off the network option from somewhere in ubuntu 9.10 | 10:01 |
| kj1986 | Severian: or else what reasons are possible for suddent switching off of the networks | 10:02 |
| enriq | mdkaneda55, thanks, figured it out | 10:02 |
| enriq | mdkaneda55, I needed the option "user" in fstab | 10:02 |
| mdkaneda55 | enriq: user/users option in fstab line? | 10:02 |
| mdkaneda55 | enriq: lol, we read the same thing | 10:03 |
| xs2ubuntu | hello | 10:03 |
| kj1986 | Severian: when I click on either ethernet or wireless network, the globe rotates for a long time and then it says u r disconnected | 10:03 |
| enriq | mdkaneda55, yes :) man fstab? cheers mdkaneda55 | 10:03 |
| Severian | kj1986, Network manager or ifconfig can take interfaces up and down. If both go down at once, I'd suspect an external cause. | 10:03 |
| Severian | kj1986,So, the network you are connecting to is likely having problems. Is there another computer to test with? | 10:04 |
| kowna | Loshki:thks, will check mine out. | 10:04 |
| jaime_ | hi, 10.04 amd64, trying to compile hsfmodem kernel module. which of the confusingly many kernel source packages do i have to install? | 10:04 |
| Severian | xs2ubuntu, I don't know anything about libmoon. If you don't get help., I can try after a dinner break. | 10:05 |
| kj1986 | Severian: Yeah, I am able to connect to wireless through my phone | 10:05 |
| kj1986 | Severian: So the network is working | 10:05 |
| godricbrutus | hi all. how do i do a check disk and repair on my ntfs harddrive? i'm getting input/output error when i try to save things to it, and it's files are not showing up in os x | 10:05 |
| xs2ubuntu | Severian :: ok tq. im waiting | 10:05 |
| Severian | kj1986, does that mean you are OK now? | 10:06 |
| Fudgeness | godricbrutus someone said ntfstools i think like ntfsfix etc | 10:07 |
| Severian | godricbrutus, ntfs checks should be done in Windows. | 10:07 |
| Fudgeness | can anyone help me understand my drive setup on this laptop please | 10:07 |
| `blackmk4`linux | is it possible to connect to a headless ubuntu server through a usb to serial adapter | 10:07 |
| kj1986 | Severian: No, so I am able to access the wireless net using my cellphone, but am not able to access it in my laptop both with ethernet and wirelessly | 10:08 |
| godricbrutus | Severian, i dont have windows installed | 10:08 |
| Severian | Fudgeness, sudo fdisk -l | 10:08 |
| godricbrutus | Fudgeness, thanks | 10:08 |
| system404 | hey guys need a little help ubuntu noob here just installed ubuntu 2 days ago everything went great was having trouble getting higher res than 800x600 after scouring the forums i solved it by editing xorg.conf now i could go in and select whatever res i want but everytime i reboot i revert back to 800x600 and have to keep going into settings and setting my res again how do i make the res selection stick | 10:08 |
| wildbat | anyone can show me how do i setting up the buttons for "Logitech Cordless Desktop Comfort Laser" mouse? | 10:09 |
| godricbrutus | unless my disk is fine, and this stuff is happening for some other reason | 10:09 |
| Severian | godricbrutus, The ntfs tools in Linux are good for reading and if you are daring, a little writing. They are not up to extensive ntfs work. Microsoft keeps the details of NTFS secret. | 10:09 |
| Jordan_U | Severian: godricbrutus: The ntfs drivers are perfect good and safe for writing. The only thing missing is repair of ntfs. | 10:10 |
| godricbrutus | Jordan_U, thanks | 10:10 |
| Jordan_U | godricbrutus: You're welcome. | 10:11 |
| Severian | kj1986, so it seems you have confirmed that your networking problem is not on the Ubuntu machine. It is likely at the next step on the network. A router/nat perhaps. I don't know your network. | 10:11 |
| godricbrutus | Jordan_U, am i getting input/output error because my disk is bad? | 10:11 |
| godricbrutus | Jordan_U, what about the fact that os x stopped seeing the files on the disk? | 10:11 |
| MACscr_lappy | son of a gun, after working days on my system getting the monitors to work, now i cant even boot into recovery mode =/ | 10:11 |
| MACscr_lappy | just get blank screens | 10:11 |
| Severian | Jordan_U, That is your opinion. I do not agree. The current Linux NTFS drivers are not stable enough for me. | 10:12 |
| m_anish | Severian: I think kj1986 means to say that his wireless/wired network is working ... he;'s not able to access it from his ubuntu box. | 10:12 |
| system404 | hey guys need a little help ubuntu noob here just installed ubuntu 2 days ago everything went great was having trouble getting higher res than 800x600 after scouring the forums i solved it by editing xorg.conf now i could go in and select whatever res i want but everytime i reboot i revert back to 800x600 and have to keep going into settings and setting my res again how do i make the res selection stick | 10:12 |
| Fudgeness | Severian i have four partitions on sda 1 says id 27 2 and 3 are hpfs and sda3 starts where sda2 ends and sda4 is a compaq diagnostics | 10:12 |
| kj1986 | Severian: Actually I was thinking that my problem is somewhere on the ubuntu machine only as I am not able to access the internet using that machine only, When I use my phone, I am able to access the net. | 10:12 |
| Jordan_U | godricbrutus: System > Administration > Disk Utility should tell you if the hardware is bad. If the hardware is good then you should somehow get a windows install to run chkdsk with. | 10:12 |
| kj1986 | Severian: So some setting is preventing me access the net from my machine | 10:13 |
| Jordan_U | Severian: How so? | 10:13 |
| kj1986 | m_anish: thanks | 10:13 |
| Fudgeness | Severian its sda3 that i cant mount how ever | 10:13 |
| godricbrutus | says disk is healthy | 10:13 |
| dancek | godricbrutus, iirc you can run chkdsk on a disk from the windows xp cd without installing | 10:13 |
| godricbrutus | i really dont want to buy windows for this | 10:14 |
| `blackmk4`linux | is it possible to connect to a headless server over serial port | 10:14 |
| Fudgeness | perhaps if your console is marked to use serial you can | 10:14 |
| godricbrutus | dancek, ahhh, yes... i will use the windows 7 disk in my wife's room. i dont need to install to run it | 10:14 |
| godricbrutus | dancek, thanks | 10:14 |
| godricbrutus | gonna re-boot now. thanks all | 10:14 |
| dancek | godricbrutus, i don't know if it's possible on windows 7 | 10:15 |
| trelane | I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and my sound mysteriously stops working from time to time (no output in dmesg, /var/log/* etc). It seems to happen after the system goes to screensaver (blank), and locks. I'm thinking it might be an APM issue, how do I get it restarted? | 10:15 |
| Severian | kj1986, maybe. That is not what you described. If you can talk to the internet over the cell phone, then your tcpip stack is working. You say both wired and wireless went offline at once. That does not sound like an Ubuntu error. Check your cable from the Ubuntu box. What is it plugged into? | 10:15 |
| dancek | godricbrutus, but go ahead and try :) | 10:15 |

| system404 | yeah i just added what was required will i take out anything smaller than 1080x1024 | 10:17 |

| quiescens | lol | 10:20 |
| `blackmk4`linux | is there anything when you grep the xorg.conf for 800x600 | 10:20 |
| kj1986 | Severian: Yes, it's showing that light in my laptop also | 10:20 |
| MACscr_lappy | quiescens: im starting to feel that way as well | 10:20 |
| MACscr_lappy | though i know nothing about installing kernels that way and im afraid im going to miss modules that i need | 10:20 |

| saymoo | bonjou_min, depends on how well utorrent runs on your wine version | 10:53 |

| justme` | yeah i know it "uses" GTK 2, but i only like 1 :) | 11:01 |
| MACscr_lappy | should my gateway be listed in my interfaces file? I switched from dhcp to static and now i cant access the internet | 11:01 |

| obscurant1st | :o | 11:04 |
| `blackmk4`linux | my linux box is a headless server | 11:04 |
| obscurant1st | airtonix, mitosis, is it good? i never heard of it! | 11:04 |
| Gamarok___ | guys does anybody here know anything about knr | 11:04 |

| red2kic | Lcawte: No. | 11:09 |

| ubottu | Lcawte: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 11:09 |
| red2kic | Lcawte: AV is for silly Windows. :) | 11:10 |
| `blackmk4`linux | say that when you get rootkitted, oh wait you probably won't know ;] | 11:10 |

| iceroot | `blackmk4`linux: an av isnt detecing that, also please remove the ` from your nick | 11:11 |
| `blackmk4`linux | eh, it can | 11:11 |
| `blackmk4`linux | and why | 11:11 |
| red2kic | `blackmk4`linux: Making it hard for others to hilight you, I'd imagine. | 11:12 |
| `blackmk4`linux | makes it easier, imo | 11:12 |
| iceroot | `blackmk4`linux: its not nice to use tab with your nick on a german keyboard, so please remove it | 11:12 |
| `blackmk4`linux | oh, german keyboard | 11:12 |
| `blackmk4`linux | hahahahhaa | 11:12 |

| MaMoUs | and even it does not show updates | 11:55 |
| jatt | airtonix: hm. actually all other applications look perfectly fine. why should I change the setting globally? The update software center is the only one application that shows too large fonts. | 11:55 |
| iflema | wildbat not even the buttons that work, do no buttons work? | 11:56 |
| Ek|mu5 | hello all | 11:56 |
| mickster04 | hi | 11:56 |
| arand | MaMoUs: Was disabled back in jaunty I think. remove the gconf-key /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch to re-enable it. | 11:56 |

| Ek|mu5 | anyone here know a way to get wget's pid cleanly with the -mb flags? I want to execute another command right after | 11:57 |
| Ek|mu5 | this is for a shell script btw | 11:57 |
| airtonix | jatt, /shrug i never noticed because i dont use it to install stuff... | 11:57 |
| mickster04 | Ek|mu5: can u not do command1; command2 | 11:57 |
| LjL | Ek|mu5: echo $! | 11:58 |
| Ek|mu5 | mickster04: wget would be backgrounded with the -b, the next command would execute right after it moves to the background | 11:58 |
| jatt | airtonix: does it show large fonts in your case too? | 11:58 |
| MaMoUs | update notifier don't auto lunch | 11:58 |
| Ek|mu5 | I need the wget to finish the mirror first | 11:58 |
| mickster04 | Ek|mu5: run a screen session | 11:59 |
| airtonix | jatt, where do you see large fonts ? can you screenshot it ? | 11:59 |
| Ek|mu5 | LjL: tried it with wait pid, can't seem to get it to work though | 11:59 |
| mickster04 | Ek|mu5: that way you can leave it running and then go bac to it if u need, but also queue up commands | 11:59 |
| jatt | sure will do an screenshot | 11:59 |
| airtonix | jatt, i actually see small fonts when i click details of a package | 11:59 |

| sinux | ubottu, thx | 12:01 |
| LjL | Ek|mu5: hmm, $! of course needs to be called immediately after running wget, there must not be any intervening lines... | 12:01 |
| LjL | Ek|mu5: if there are, try storing it with PID=$! | 12:01 |
| Ek|mu5 | LjL: possible was VAR=`wget -mb` would put the stdout message that also has the PID in text to VAR, REGEX the VAR text for the numeric PID then do wait pid then execute? | 12:02 |
| sinux | I've a small question about the ubuntu updater | 12:02 |
| aks_ | greezmunkey r u dere? | 12:02 |
| jatt | yes the details are fine, but the fonts for Departments, Accessories, etc. are way too big | 12:02 |
| LjL | Ek|mu5: err... i guess that could work, but $! seems so much simpler =) i'd investigate why it isn't working, first | 12:03 |
| Ek|mu5 | LjL: no PID gets returned with the -b flag though | 12:03 |
| sinux | Y doesn't it update regularly as the earlier one | 12:03 |
| caac | hi there, i'd like to use gloobus preview, this requires me to have nautilus elementary and ofcourse the gloobuspreview installed, but i'd like to always use the stable versions of both, and all i can find are PPA's for both of them | 12:03 |
| aks_ | how to share the internet connection over the ad hoc network | 12:03 |
| getxsick | default graphic driver for X is vesa? | 12:03 |
| Ek|mu5 | PID=$! won't get wget's pid if -b flag is set | 12:03 |
| LjL | Ek|mu5: can't you run wget without the -b flag and with & instead? | 12:03 |
| jatt | here is the screenshot: | 12:04 |

| airtonix | jatt, im also using a custom font | 12:04 |
| Ek|mu5 | was also thinking about wget && next command | 12:04 |
| Severian | sinux, Update manager did not change much between Karmic and lucid. I auto launches to interrupt you work now, but it is scheduled just the same. | 12:04 |
| airtonix | jatt, oh right the index page | 12:04 |
| jatt | yes the index page | 12:05 |
| rovanion | Hello lads. Where can I find the package called wacom-tools that I use to install for my wacom board. It is available in Debian Testing and has been available in Ubuntu, where is it now? | 12:06 |
| sinux | Severian, OK, but I'm using the x64 bit version but when I check manually it list the update's but never automatically inform me as the earlier one. | 12:06 |
| lxsys | LjL:Thanks, the beta packages you suggested work almost perfectly for me :) | 12:06 |

| Ek|mu5 | Next question: replaced OpenBSD on my ThinkPad T60 with 10.04, sometimes right after the ureadahed message at boot, screen becomes corrupted and computer locks up | 12:09 |
| Ek|mu5 | any ideas? | 12:09 |
| Ek|mu5 | didn't get this with OBSD, 9.04 or 9.10 | 12:09 |
| m_tadeu | wildbat: because I'm doing stuff that I need to keep doing | 12:09 |
| airtonix | Ek|mu5, bsd != linux | 12:10 |
| wildbat | m_tadeu, run in VM then ~ thou you can't test all your memory that way | 12:10 |
| Ek|mu5 | airtonix: I know that, I only experienced the problem on 10.04 on the same machine | 12:10 |
| Ek|mu5 | airtonix: fresh and clean installs for everything I try out on the T60 | 12:11 |
| Ek|mu5 | airtonix: so far, only 10.04 has crapped out at boot | 12:11 |
| Delaya | anyone knows how to fix adobe flash player problem on lucid? | 12:11 |
| === rbnielsen is now known as Bulldog\\ | ||
| Severian | Delaya, remove it | 12:12 |
| student | Delaya, what problem you are facing?? | 12:12 |
| Ek|mu5 | airtonix: made a clean install again of 9.10 and tested for a week, didn't exhibit the problems I described | 12:12 |
| Severian | Delaya, It won't cause problems then. | 12:12 |
| baers | hi | 12:12 |
| student | Delaya, i am also facing some problems | 12:12 |
| aks_ | airtonix can u please help | 12:13 |
| Ademan | so, contrary to what I was expecting, upgrading to Lucid from Karmic drastically increased my boot time, short of doing a fresh install, what can I do to shorten my boot time? | 12:13 |
| Delaya | well it works on videos, but on other aps with javascript it creshes | 12:13 |
| jrib | Ademan: what sort of numbers are you talking about? | 12:13 |
| baers | I would restart my gnome without sudo. but it gives an error: http://codepad.org/DIdgOO3P | 12:13 |
| baers | What can i do? | 12:13 |
| student | Delaya, for me i am not able to change the preference of flash player | 12:14 |
| Ek|mu5 | Ademan: turn off what you don't need, the /etc/init.d directory should give you an idea what runs at boot | 12:14 |
| sinux | Severian, Yes and the updater doesnt's get auto launched | 12:14 |
| Ademan | jrib: unfortunately I don't have numbers, but my boot time now is multiple minutes, before it was easily under a minute | 12:14 |
| Severian | Ademan, My Lucid boxes boot and shutdown noticably faster. | 12:14 |
| jrib | baers: what does « sudo service gdm restart » do? Why do you want to do this anyway? | 12:14 |
| Ademan | Ek|mu5: sure I'm familiar, but what I'm looking for are known "gotcha"s that might have occurred during the upgrade | 12:15 |
| ForgeAus | yes lucid is noticably faster booting and shutting down | 12:15 |
| jrib | Ademan: right, something's wrong. I would get a bootchart and analyze it to find the culprit | 12:15 |
| aks_ | ubottu this is a very long and complicated proces...pls tell some easy process | 12:15 |
| rjcroy | gdm restart will restart the X-Windows session effecively | 12:15 |
| Ademan | jrib: good call | 12:15 |
| ddavids | hi all, pls id like to setup drupal, i need help on tht...btw, im a noob | 12:15 |
| Severian | sinux, There are a couple of places that have settings that affect that. First, open Update Manages. Go to settings and see what you have for automatic updates. Then, go to System/Preferences/Startup Applications and see if Update Notifier is checked. | 12:16 |
| Ademan | ddavids: you probably want to talk to the drupal folks about that... | 12:16 |
| jrib | ddavids: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal | 12:16 |
| Ademan | ddavids: #drupal | 12:16 |
| ddavids | Ademan: thanks | 12:16 |
| fcuker-overlord | the anjuta the only IDE that can manage projects from makefiles? is there any other? | 12:16 |
| ddavids | jrib: thanks | 12:16 |
| Ek|mu5 | Ademan: changelog? my Google-fu is failing me :( | 12:16 |
| airtonix | ddavids, dont use the drupal in the repos. | 12:17 |
| Ademan | fcuker-overlord: kdevelop does | 12:17 |
| Ademan | Ek|mu5: thanks, but don't worry about it, jrib is right, I should profile and find out what the problem is before I even bothered anyone else | 12:17 |
| ddavids | airtonix: got tht, already got it frm the web | 12:17 |
| === rbnielsen is now known as Bulldog\\ | ||

| vikas | any one knows to install mac os x | 12:18 |
| Ademan | fcuker-overlord: makefiles are quite easy actually, it's when you start getting into automake, autoconf and all that where things get messy (not necessarily hard, but messy) | 12:18 |
| LjL | vikas: this is the Ubuntu channel | 12:18 |
| jrib | baers: do you see anything on your desktop? | 12:18 |
| Ek|mu5 | Ademan: no prob :D | 12:18 |
| bonhoffer | is there a guide to configure sendmail? | 12:19 |
| baers | jrib: no thats it. the files are there but didnt shown | 12:19 |

| Delaya | student: else it works perfectly? | 12:19 |

| jrib | vikas: get your os x disk, put it in your drive, reboot and boot from the disk, follow instructions | 12:23 |
| baers | jrib: i do all with a shellscript | 12:23 |

| ubottu | remoteCTRL1: 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. | 12:25 |
| Ek|mu5 | remoteCTRL1: mount -t iso9660 -loop | 12:25 |
| Severian | baers, Gnome has that feature and has had it for a couple of years. When a file is put into the Desktop directory, a file notification event happens and the display is updated. If yours does not do that, you has changed a setting. | 12:25 |
| jrib | baers: well you just said your desktop is being displayed now | 12:25 |
| Ek|mu5 | whoops forgot the o | 12:25 |
| remoteCTRL1 | jrib: Ek|mu5: nice, thanks guys! | 12:26 |
| baers | Severian: where can i check it? | 12:26 |
| Ek|mu5 | remoteCTRL1: no prob | 12:27 |
| Severian | I'd start looking in google. I tested the feature in a couple of versions of Ubuntu before I told you. You are running Gnome, and not fluxbox or some other desktop, aren't you? | 12:27 |

| sinux | aks_, do you get any error messages when you do that | 12:34 |
| jrib | baers: it's probably sufficient to restart nautilus? There should also be a nicer way | 12:35 |
| aks_ | sinux no | 12:35 |
| sinux | the other nod doesn't get any Internet is it? | 12:36 |
| baers | jrib: but i wouldnt go every time to nautilus in /home/usr/Desktop and refresh it. Or has nautilus a shell command to refresh a path, too? | 12:36 |

| jrib | baers: why don't you just use that? | 12:43 |
| jrib | (since it does exactly what you are trying to hack together) | 12:44 |
| justme` | m_tadeu_: ls /etc/default/grub/ you want the menu list | 12:44 |

| raffaele | hi. I have lucid. I want to install the 'foomatic-gui' packet from synaptic but it won't install it. It says that it depends by the 'python-gtkhtml2' packet and that packet is not installable. i checked for that packet (python-gtkhtml2) in synaptic and in the internet archive of ubuntu and it looks like there is no such packet on lucid. On the ubuntu site, i found that packet for karmic but not for lucid | 12:46 |
| zamba | when installing ubuntu you have the option of encrypting your home folder.. is it possible to activate this afterwards? and/or select something else you want to encrypt?= | 12:46 |

| rocket16 | bonhoffer: Certainly, but in certain cases, extra packages are related to that, which are also to be removed. So, you need to remove those packages too, along with sendmail from Snaptic. Synaptic will ask you automatically about those packages. | 12:50 |

| SweetWerraIsBack | i got cdrom image off 10.04 and i roll on 9.10 . what i want to do is to update my 9.10 to 10.04 with a cd rom image | 12:52 |
| rocket16 | Zeek_: I see. Are you using ALSA Drivers, or PulseAudio or OSS? | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | SweetWerraIsBack: you need the altenate ISO then | 12:53 |
| Zeek_ | rocket16, I would assume the default for 10.04. I do see alsa-util entries in /var/log/syslog | 12:54 |
| rocket16 | SweetWerraIsBack: ActionParsnip is right. Or, you can upgrade via Internet directly. But a clean install is always welcome, after backing up the Home folder, :) | 12:54 |
| klaas111 | I'm trying to set up a Mobile Broadband connection w/ gnome-ppp; any idea on where I can find the correct phone nr? | 12:54 |
| jrib | raffaele: you should file a bug if one doesn't already exist against foomatic-gui at bugs.ubuntu.com | 12:55 |
| Zeek_ | rocket16, I also see pulseaudio entries (ratelimit events suppressed). Just odd with it being USB and all; headser does work too, at least under ThatOtherOS. | 12:55 |
| SweetWerraIsBack | thx rocket :) | 12:55 |
| rocket16 | SweetWerraIsBack: My pleasure, my friend, :) | 12:55 |

| dewman | ActionParsnip, i have moved the folder over to the left, but what I would like is to have the folder appear in the Favorites on the desktop. The only that that shows right now is the stock items, firefox,evolution,cheese,etc... Does that make sense? | 12:56 |
| msd | I got the weirdest netwroking problem | 12:57 |

| msd | it cannot resolve nor ping any external addresses | 12:57 |
| Zeek_ | rocket16, ok I will give it a look | 12:57 |
| msd | whats up with that? | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | dewman: oic, er you could make a script to launch nautilus and open a folder, make a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications to launch it, then add it as a favourite | 12:57 |
| rocket16 | Zeek_: Sure, :) My pleasure | 12:58 |

| xrfang | I try to setup a ssh tunnel by writing "ssh -N -D 9999 xrfang@myserver.com" into .profile it does not work (i.e. the ssh command is not sucessfully executed), btw, I use keyfile to login to ssh server. | 14:04 |
| baers | xrfang: ssh -p 22 -i /the/autorized_keys user@ip | 14:04 |
| blunted | damn thats alot of names | 14:05 |
| MikeChelen | anyone know a graphics editor that supports CYMK image formats besides .tiff? | 14:05 |
| IdleOne | Ace2: only difference I see is you are using pop and I am using imap | 14:06 |
| xrfang | baers: my command above works very well when issued from console after login, but it does not work if put into .profile (or /etc/rc.local...) is your way to solve this problem? | 14:06 |
| nixpix | IdleOne, thank you. Any other thoughts on what might be the problem? The link, once again: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1488092 | 14:06 |
| IdleOne | Ace2: perhaps that makes a difference?don't know | 14:06 |
| IdleOne | nixpix: none sorry. | 14:06 |
| baers | xrfang: if you need to write the pw -> pubkey not installed. the pub key must be in ~/.ssh/autorized_keys | 14:06 |
| nixpix | IdleOne, thanks anyway=) | 14:07 |
| baers | xrfang: cat thepubkey >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 14:07 |
| Ace2 | IdleOne, I was just looking at that myself. AOL is supposed to be imap even though it did retrieve the mail | 14:07 |
| xrfang | baers, yes I know, I already done so, as I said, it works, *after* login, and I open a console... | 14:07 |
| xrfang | it just does not work when put into .profile | 14:07 |
| xrfang | I will try your version.. btw, will .profile gets executed when logoff/logon? or it only get called when boot? | 14:08 |
| IdleOne | Ace2: maybe try changing the protocol to imap but I suspect you may end up with doubled emails. easy enough to sort through them and delete i guess | 14:08 |
| Administrator_ | I can't fix this error "rp-pppoe plugin version 3.8p compiled against pppd 2.4.5" when I try use pppoeconf to connect ADSL. any help? | 14:08 |

| Ace2 | IdleOne, I changed it but it didn't do anything. I always had comcast set as pop. This is the first time I'm using evolution. I usually use thunderbird | 14:09 |
| chrisw1 | hi all, I have a cron job that runs as root, it finds a different version of subversion that when I run the command in the cron job in a normal roto console. How can that be? | 14:09 |

| Guest73390 | When I try the normal startup, it shows the picture of a tux on the upper left and that's it. | 14:10 |
| jrib | chrisw1: presumably, you've installed more than one version of subversion | 14:10 |
| sc | help me... I'm new in ubuntu, and my synaptic doesn't work... | 14:10 |
| vistakiller | how can i add a flickr account to gwibber? i try everything but with no results | 14:10 |
| jrib | !doesn't work | sc | 14:10 |
| ubottu | sc: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 14:10 |
| Ace2 | IdleOne, I think I may use it just to seperate my accounts. I don't know why it would do that. | 14:11 |
| chrisw1 | jrib: correct, the cronjob finds the one at /usr/bin/svn , I want it to use the one at /usr/local/bin/svn, why does it not? | 14:11 |
| jrib | chrisw1: because your PATH isn't the same | 14:11 |
| chrisw1 | what controls the PATH? | 14:11 |
| sc | when I press Reload, it says "Could not download all repository indexes" | 14:11 |
| IdleOne | Ace2: like I said I am not sure but I know that my accounts are separated, it should work the way you expect it to. now to figure out why | 14:11 |
| chrisw1 | why is it different on a cronjob for the same user? | 14:11 |
| jrib | chrisw1: easy answer for you: just use the absolute path to the version of subversion you want | 14:12 |
| jrib | chrisw1: because your environment isn't the same... | 14:12 |
| chrisw1 | jrib: why isn't the env the same?! | 14:12 |
| Ace2 | IdleOne, what was funny is when I first set it up it showed seperate accounts. Then a couple of minutes later everything was merged | 14:12 |
| jrib | chrisw1: why would it be? | 14:12 |
| chrisw1 | (and, as a corollory, how can i get it to be the same...) | 14:12 |
| chrisw1 | jrib: same user, why does it make a different whether it's cron running that job as the user, or the user typing in a shell? | 14:13 |
| jrib | chrisw1: when you login differet things happen than when cron runs a job, that's all there is to it. Set PATH to whatever you want in your crontab or see my easy solution above | 14:13 |
| IdleOne | Ace2: maybe evoultion sees both pop accounts and assumes they are one, could be a bug | 14:13 |
| NiteSnow | My wireless says its hard blocked its a BCM4311 | 14:13 |
| sc | Idle0ne: It seems that you can help me... my synaptic doesn't work, "Could not download all repository indexes". why's that? | 14:14 |
| jrib | chrisw1: you can read « man 5 crontab » for more details if you want them I guess | 14:14 |
| IdleOne | sc try changing the server you are using in System > Administration > Software Sources | 14:15 |

| [0]Aazoris | Can some one help with the apt-get install function, I dont know how to make it install the updates | 15:29 |
| pat5star | thebruce: on the server you have the printer hooked up on, then restart cups | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | [0]Aazoris: sudo apt-get safe-upgrade | 15:29 |
| IdleOne | [0]Aazoris: that will install the updates | 15:29 |
| HDBanger | anyoe know why my gdesklets wont work? | 15:29 |
| jrib | pat5star: but that would have to be handled in some special way probably, which is why it tells you "no" | 15:29 |
| HDBanger | when i open the gui, it pops up then disappears | 15:30 |
| pat5star | jrib: ok well thanks for your help, it's not important really and the loop will work, just wondered if I was missing something | 15:30 |
| DrGrov | In the repositories. is it good to take kubuntu-desktop or kde-full for Ubuntu 10.04? | 15:30 |
| VirusTB | IdleOne, safe-upgrade? ??? | 15:30 |
| DrGrov | Or should I ask which one is better? | 15:30 |
| pat5star | jrib: I don't like my computer telling me 'no'...you let it away with that 1 too many times and you end up with Hal | 15:30 |
| IdleOne | VirusTB: yeah safe-upgrade | 15:30 |
| breakzz | Greetings, got a kernel issue, Ive just recently installed ubuntu server (had archlinux before) and now Im trying to recompile kernel to other settings, but everytime I try it I keep getting this when rebooting: "kernel panic-not syncing VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". Tried several things Ive found on google but doesnt work. What to do? :o | 15:30 |
| IdleOne | VirusTB: I think that apt-get upgrade still works but will tell you about safe-upgrade | 15:31 |
| FlyingWatermelon | hi | 15:31 |
| VirusTB | IdleOne, never heard of safe upgrade | 15:31 |
| pharm_ | i have a weird wifi problem, sitting behind a router. the connection into the internet freezes about every 5mins for 30sec or so, strange thing is pingin the router works without packet loss, pinging a lan connected server within my network works withoutpacket loss but pinging smt in the net has about 30%packet loss | 15:31 |
| FlyingWatermelon | can someone here help me with installing ubuntu | 15:31 |
| Odd-rationale | DrGrov: probably kubuntu-desktop, as you probably don't need everything in kde-full | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: how do you compiled it ? do you create an intramfs/initrd ? | 15:31 |
| FlyingWatermelon | i need to partition my drive for it | 15:31 |
| Krishnandu | Hey guys...asking a stupid ques....does downloading continues when my screen gets locked??? | 15:31 |
| jrib | pat5star: interestingly enough, cp --force --backup a a works | 15:31 |
| erUSUL | Krishnandu: it should | 15:31 |
| DrGrov | Odd-rationale, ok. I get some nice eyecandy in kubuntu-desktop as well? | 15:31 |
| Odd-rationale | DrGrov: sure | 15:32 |
| nature | hi | 15:32 |
| breakzz | erUSUL Ive followed several guides Ive found on ubuntuforums, google etc, but I dont think I did | 15:32 |
| Krishnandu | Okies...!! Thanx...!! | 15:32 |
| DrGrov | Odd-rationale, great. kubuntu-desktop it is then ;) | 15:32 |

| HDBanger | i want my eye candy ;p | 15:32 |
| FlyingWatermelon | where is a place to go for help installing ubuntu? | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: so you create a deb file ? | 15:32 |
| breakzz | yes | 15:32 |

How i can do now to understand what software wort install without install and try all different package? | 15:32 |
| ubottu | breakzz: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 15:32 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: maybe you have not enabled the needed options ? | 15:33 |
| jrib | pat5star: « info cp » actually gives you a script to use as a backup program (using cp and a for loop). Silly gnu | 15:33 |
| pat5star | jrib: you got me excited about that, I tried it, damn computer still telling me no. defiant little bastard ;) | 15:33 |
| arand | FlyingWatermelon: Right here, or the forums, or the mailing list, whatever you prefer. | 15:33 |
| arand | !install | FlyingWatermelon | 15:33 |
| ubottu | FlyingWatermelon: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| V-ille | pharm_: I have a different wifi problem, my wifi seems to disconnect occasionally | 15:33 |
| HDBanger | nobody knows of any probs with gdesklets? | 15:33 |
| jrib | pat5star: yeah, it won't work if you do cp --force --backup a ., but cp --force --backup a a will (thus why the script uses a for loop I guess) | 15:33 |
| V-ille | reboot helps, I'm not yet sure if other remedies would work | 15:34 |
| IdleOne | [0]Aazoris: if it shows 0 that means that there aren't any packages to upgrade | 15:34 |
| pat5star | jrib: oh I see, let me try that | 15:34 |
| V-ille | other machines on the same wifi network continue running fine, they have 9.10, this machine has 10.04 | 15:34 |
| sugoruyo | anyone know how i can add a preseed file into the initrd root? | 15:34 |
| arand | FlyingWatermelon: The partitioning step can be done automatically by the ubuntu installer. | 15:34 |
| V-ille | any idea if there are existing wifi/networkmanager related bugs reported I could look at for more info? | 15:34 |
| pat5star | jrib: you're right it does, cool | 15:35 |
| breakzz | erUSUL not sure if it matters but Ive tried following this one before: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 and this: http://linuxtweaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-compile-kernel-on-ubuntu-1004.html , perhaps those didnt include some parts | 15:35 |

| V-ille | I also get weird noise on screen, the machine is an IBM T60 with ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 | 15:36 |
| V-ille | I've never seen such noise before on any ubuntu version | 15:36 |
| Robertf | Hello | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: in the second link they mention that in 10.94 you have to explicity build the initramfs by hand. | 15:36 |
| pat5star | jrib: so I'll just spin all those files through a loop doing that, then I can begin my crazy real tests on the origs knowing I have backups I can easily change back should I mess them up...that was my whole reason for doing so (and yes, I know I could have just cp'd them out to another dir, but I wanted them side by side for quick comparisons) ;) | 15:36 |
| V-ille | the noise isn't constant, it appears sometimes and then goes away | 15:36 |

| nemo | I have a friend who was having issues w/ his network card in Lucid. Supposedly, not just slow network, but nonfunctioning network | 15:37 |
| scunizi | DrGrov: are you going to be using kde or gnome? display manager sould match the desktop | 15:37 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: instead of editing the grub.cfg directly just use « sudo update-grub » | 15:37 |
| nemo | here is the odd thing, it was working great at first | 15:37 |
| nemo | it only stopped working recently. | 15:37 |
| jrib | pat5star: I knew it was a silly reason, but as you wish :P | 15:37 |
| DrGrov | scunizi, ok. debconf asks me now after installing kubuntu-desktop which one I should use. GDM or KDM. | 15:37 |
| nemo | soooo. is there any recent change that might have been pushed that might have broken his network? | 15:37 |
| kahen | DrGrov: ultimately that shouldn't matter from a functionality POV. so yes, it should match the default desktop | 15:37 |
| nemo | 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) <- his card | 15:37 |
| breakzz | oh ok erUSUL, is it possible for me to boot up a livecd then use that command or will it just install it on the livecd and not the harddrive? | 15:37 |
| breakzz | or do I have to reinstall ubuntu from scratch? | 15:37 |
| pat5star | jrib: lol, of course it was silly, and very lazy...but as soon as I realized I couldn't do it, I spent way too much time trying to do it the lazy way lol | 15:38 |
| Robertf | hello, i've an integrated graphical card (intel corpo 82852/855GM). There's a black screen after xubuntu's logo | 15:38 |
| V-ille | I have an intel wifi on this machine where I see the disconnects | 15:38 |
| DrGrov | kahen, ok. I will just try KDE to see what I think about it. So I should keep GDM and test KDE and then switch back to GNOME? | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: you can do with a livecd if you chroot to it i guess.... but you can allways boot the default ubuntu kernel; can't you ? | 15:38 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, seems that yours is another problem coz im still able to do everything localy (wifi is connected all the time) during the time when internetconnection freezes | 15:38 |
| nemo | Robertf: can you switch to terminal using alt-f1/ctrl-alt-f1 ? | 15:38 |
| breakzz | erUSUL no I cant.. thats the problem.. when I reboot it jumps straight to the kernel panic | 15:38 |
| pat5star | Robertf: do you have an /etc/X/xorg.conf file?4 | 15:38 |
| Robertf | nemo: no.. | 15:38 |
| V-ille | pharm_: yeah, probably somewhat different problems, but still very close relatives, I imagine :) | 15:38 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: the ubuntu kernel panics too ? or just your hand compiled kernel ? | 15:39 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, although i tried setting wifi manually without network-manager (maybe that helps you, didnt for me) | 15:39 |
| V-ille | my wifi sometimes disconnects and I've only managed to get it to come back up by rebooting | 15:39 |
| pharm_ | are you connecting through networkmanager? | 15:39 |
| V-ille | I'd really prefer network-manager, I sometimes need to travel with this machine and automagic wifi would be nice | 15:40 |
| V-ille | yeah, I use networkmanager | 15:40 |
| breakzz | erUSUL No I can boot ubuntu after installation, it works as it should, its after when I recompile & reboot it gets kernel panic | 15:40 |
| HDBanger | does anyone know why gdesklets would not work, the gui posp up on screen then immediately disappears?? | 15:40 |
| btr | Hello, my problem is that the volume control applet located in panel does not work. It is default volume controller applet shipped with Ubuntu 9.10 and it was working fine before I installed gnome-alsa-mixer. However, although I will not use the default applet because gnome-alsa-mixer is better but wish to know how to recover the default applet's function. Thanks. | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: all kernels panic? yours and ubuntu's ? | 15:40 |
| Robertf | pat5star: may i boot in safe mode because i don't say if i've a xorg.conf file | 15:40 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: even in recovery mode ? | 15:41 |
| breakzz | erUSUL so far, atleast when Ive tried to recompile | 15:41 |
| enriq | I cannot connect to msn from empathy, on ubuntu 10.04, anyone else? any idea? | 15:41 |
| Lagan | @btr: Why don't you disable it and put an volume control applet on the dock? | 15:41 |
| breakzz | cant use recovery, cant boot that far, after my computer starts, it jumps to bios, checking memory etc, like it should, then right after I get kernel panic | 15:41 |
| breakzz | so theres no option | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: bery weird if compiling your own kernel affects the other ones ... | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: very weird if compiling your own kernel affects the other ones ... | 15:42 |
| pat5star | Robertf: I saw your reply to nemo, you should be able to switch to a console with ctrl-alt-F*, if not, you may have other problems than what I was thinkingn | 15:42 |
| btr | Lagan: it was disabled automatically. asa soon as i installed gnome-alsa-mixer. | 15:42 |
| btr | asa -> as | 15:42 |
| breakzz | yes I know erUSUL, there should be like a option what kernel I want to load | 15:42 |
| breakzz | but there isnt | 15:42 |
| breakzz | Im not sure if theres some option in bios that affects this problem? | 15:43 |
| kahen | ok, i THINK i fixed my problem with SML/NJ. manually symlinking the mlton files into the smlnj directory fixed the problem | 15:43 |
| kahen | it's ugly as sin, but it works | 15:43 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, i see, you might test if its networkmanagers problem | 15:43 |
| Lagan | btr: And you can't re-place it on the panel? | 15:43 |
| Robertf | pat5star: i've the same problem with slackware 13.0 :-) | 15:43 |
| erUSUL | breakzz: press shift during boot to make grub show you the menu | 15:43 |
| [0]Aazoris | is this the right syntax to download only the packages & no install >> apt-get -d update | 15:43 |
| FlyingWatermelon | how will i know how much the partition size should be? | 15:43 |

| markit | any idea? squid is running | 15:43 |
| pat5star | Robertf: ugh! I have the same video card as you, all I had to do was remove xorg.conf, restart, and everything was good....that's all I was going to suggest | 15:44 |
| deropty_ | quit | 15:44 |
| markit | (stop: unknown instance) | 15:44 |
| Merwin | Could you confirm that when scripts placed in the /scripts/local-top/ directory under initramfs are called, udev is fully populated? From my tests, it's wrong, but I don't know how to wait until udev has finished being populated | 15:44 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, there is also wicd (gui network manager) plus there are ways to switch to prefered networks through configscripts | 15:44 |
| V-ille | pharm_: yeah.. I guess I'll have to stop network-manager service the next time it barfs and do the iwconfig dance manually | 15:44 |

| pat5star | ubnuntu_giant: that's a good one, or you can try "on windows it works so much better..." or something to that effect ;) | 15:58 |
| donavan01 | is there anything I can do to get my nautilus to display a large folder faster I have a huge directory with a ton of png files in it and it takes forever to load | 15:58 |
| rocket16 | Friends, is there a good software for managing Samsung SGH-J600 Phones in Ubuntu? I tried BITPM, Wammu/Gammu, KMobiletools and a lot more, :( | 15:58 |

| Galerien | downclimb: get an SSD :D | 15:59 |

| overmind | !bot > pharm_ | 15:59 |
| ubottu | pharm_, please see my private message | 15:59 |
| pat5star | Robertf: what, X? | 15:59 |
| ubnuntu_giant | HDBanger, Then I get this status bar going back and for that says "Connecting to daemon." | 15:59 |
| HDBanger | ubnuntu_giant: well alrighty then ;) | 15:59 |
| tpskynet | why i see my chipset of my driver unknown? | 15:59 |
| HDBanger | ubnuntu_giant: yup yup | 15:59 |
| pat5star | Robertf: there must be a few because I've seen a lot of complaints since the upgrade | 15:59 |
| donavan01 | pat5star ... thats part of the problem I am using them for Icons so I want to be able to see what the icons look like without having to guess my way through a couple of thousand of them | 16:00 |
| edbian_ | What security threats am I opening myself up to if I keep my wifi network open? | 16:00 |
| tpskynet | helo rokect | 16:00 |
| V-ille | pharm_: nothing, although I didn't disable networkmanager before trying to launch wicd | 16:00 |
| pat5star | donavan01: I have a dir like that too, never been able to speed it up unless you throw more hardware at it I suppose | 16:00 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, there you go ;) | 16:00 |
| Monotoko | edbian_ your leaving yourself open to middleman attack | 16:00 |
| sungji | pat5star, hm... i get a couple of libdvdread error messages like this: libdvdread: Error cracking CSS key for /VIDEO_TS/VTS_05_0.VOB (0x00abcdef) | 16:00 |
| Robertf | pat5star: apt-get install xorg | 16:00 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: anyone could see your chat logs, and inject you viruses, remotely control your router.... spy what you see... | 16:01 |
| damn323 | heloo! | 16:01 |
| V-ille | pharm_: hmm.. I did sudo service wicd start and it started fine | 16:01 |
| shindow_yu1 | linux | 16:01 |
| Monotoko | i use MAC filtering | 16:01 |
| sungji | pat5star, and also this: libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in /build/buildd/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/ifo_read.c:1704 | 16:01 |
| === Breaker- is now known as breakzz | ||
| V-ille | and I still haven't disabled networkmanager :) | 16:01 |
| Monotoko | rather than encryption | 16:01 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: also, if you keep the wifi network open, anyone could easily make a DoS | 16:01 |
| damn323 | I cant install python 2.6 !!!!!!!!!!!!!11 | 16:01 |
| ubnuntu_giant | HDBanger, It says to check the log files...I'm doing that now...fun learning experience for me. :) | 16:01 |
| Robertf | pat5star: do you have a website withe this problem reported | 16:01 |
| Beyecixramd | Monotoko: i can emulate MACs easily | 16:01 |
| shindow_yu1 | hell | 16:01 |
| donavan01 | pat5star ... thanks ... well aside from a raid array and cant think of anything hardware wise that would speed it up for my I normally get pretty quick read/write times | 16:01 |
| shindow_yu1 | welcome | 16:01 |
| HDBanger | ubnuntu_giant: cool, ill be here :P | 16:01 |
| Monotoko | Beyecixramd, its also a hidden SSID | 16:01 |
| tpskynet | helo rokect | 16:01 |
| tpskynet | why i see my chipset of my driver unknown? | 16:01 |
| HDBanger | ubnuntu_giant: im sure ur smarter than me | 16:01 |
| Beyecixramd | Monotoko: i only need your mac (sniffing) and i can get into your router and kick you out | 16:01 |
| pat5star | V-ille: I did that after this upgrade too, this is the first time I've seen ubuntu allow both to be installed, before it would always uninstall one of you were installing the other. To correct it, I had to uninstall wicd or they were both running at same time | 16:02 |
| MaT-dg | Is xorg.conf deprecated? Is it still the correct way to add a device? | 16:02 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, i bet those to are going to fight each other ;) | 16:02 |
| Beyecixramd | Monotoko: so? even with a hidden SSID, it's still hackeable | 16:02 |
| pharm_ | *two | 16:02 |
| keithcleaver2010 | hi everyone... I'm using a Belkin Wireless router on my PC, which was working fine in my Windows installation, but on my new 10.04 installation, my internet connection is extremely slow... why would this be, and can anyone suggest how to solve the problem? | 16:02 |
| shindow_yu1 | ????? | 16:02 |
| DrGrov | Can I safely remove kubuntu-desktop now when I didn't like it without affecting the GNOME part? | 16:02 |
| edbian_ | Beyecixramd, My router has a very secure password. What chat logs are you talking about? How can someone "inject" are virus? What does that mean? | 16:02 |
| Beyecixramd | DrGrov: yes | 16:02 |
| ubnuntu_giant | Hello. I'm stuck trying to get my fan control to work...I know I need to come up with a fancontrol config file, but I'm having trouble getting going on that. Any help? Thanks. | 16:02 |
| tpskynet | why i see my chipset of my driver unknown? | 16:02 |
| damn323 | can some one tell me how to get around python 2.6 broken ness on sid pleeeassse@@$%"!@#@!!!] | 16:02 |
| DrGrov | Beyecixramd, ok. Removing then :) Thanks | 16:02 |
| IdleOne | !puregnome | DrGrov | 16:02 |
| ubottu | DrGrov: 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 | 16:02 |
| bazhang | !puregnome | DrGrov | 16:02 |
| bazhang | damn323, sid is #debian not here | 16:02 |
| blankhead | my windows 7 is coming on as vista and when i load it im loading to some kind of HEWLITT Packard system recovery crap how do i fix this? | 16:03 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, I don't lose any settings or such? | 16:03 |
| IdleOne | damn323: #debian | 16:03 |

| damn323 | er yes true sorry | 16:03 |
| pat5star | brb...battery dying...gotta go find a plug | 16:03 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: all routers can be bruteforced. Injecting a virus means anyone can insert a virus into *something* either actively, entering your pc, or passively, like when you download a file, they could replace the code with a virus | 16:03 |
| shawncm217 | I've Googled and looked all over the Ubuntu website. What is the RAM limitation for 64-bit desktop Ubuntu 10.04? | 16:03 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, ok. I will type that into a terminal now then | 16:03 |
| edbian_ | Monotoko, hidden SSID is a good idea but the reason I have my network open is for the convience of my parents. They want it to be stupid simple! | 16:03 |
| tpskynet | why i see my wireless chipset of my driver unknown? | 16:03 |
| bazhang | Beyecixramd, lets get back on topic | 16:03 |
| Beyecixramd | bazhang: this is on topic... | 16:03 |
| tpskynet | any one?? | 16:03 |
| blankhead | On Grub bootloader my windows 7 is coming on as vista and when i load it im loading to some kind of HEWLITT Packard system recovery crap how do i fix this? | 16:03 |
| donavan01 | blankhead ... thats your recovery partition | 16:03 |
| tpskynet | any one?? | 16:03 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: an open WiFi network is definitely not a good idea... | 16:03 |
| tpskynet | any one?? | 16:03 |
| bazhang | Beyecixramd, no its not. please take it elsewhere | 16:03 |
| tpskynet | why i see my wireless chipset of my driver unknown? | 16:03 |
| FloodBot4 | tpskynet: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:04 |
| LjL | !repeat | tpskynet | 16:04 |
| ubottu | tpskynet: 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. | 16:04 |
| keithcleaver2010 | shawncm217: it was 2GB in the past, but not sure what the current figure is | 16:04 |
| Beyecixramd | bazhang: yes, Ubuntu supports WiFi, doesn't it? | 16:04 |
| ubnuntu_giant | HDBanger, Sorry, don't know what to do from here. You might want to check out /var/log/daemon.log (with tail -f /var/log/daemon.log). | 16:04 |
| fhf | blankhead yes thats true ybubtu recocnizes 7 as vista | 16:04 |
| edbian_ | Beyecixramd, Can you explain how to bruteforce my router? By continuously guessing the password? | 16:04 |
| blankhead | donavan01 so hwo do i configure it so that it loads the HP parition..cuz i have my windows 7 parition come out as HP with all my stuff | 16:04 |
| HDBanger | ubnuntu_giant: k thanks | 16:04 |
| IdleOne | Beyecixramd: yes but the networking question you are discussing is not ubuntu related | 16:04 |
| bazhang | edbian_, please continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:04 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: trying all combinations from 1 to zzzzzzzzz | 16:04 |
| edbian_ | Beyecixramd, I agree. I'm trying to come up with an alternative | 16:04 |
| webPragmatist | hey guys how do i login as root through sudo again.. or rather how do i sudo for a few commands | 16:04 |
| ubnuntu_giant | Hello. I'm stuck trying to get my fan control to work...I know I need to come up with a fancontrol config file, but I'm having trouble getting going on that. Any help? Thanks. | 16:04 |
| webPragmatist | sudo -l or something? | 16:04 |
| edbian_ | bazhang, sorry, i'm done | 16:04 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian_: the alternative is a password... | 16:04 |
| V-ille | pharm_: so, thanks for pointing out wicd for me, it's at least an option if networkmanager acts up | 16:05 |
| Monotoko | edbian_ why dont you make there connections auto-connect?? | 16:05 |
| bazhang | webPragmatist, sudo -i | 16:05 |
| V-ille | now I only wonder what to do a about the occasional display woes... | 16:05 |
| donavan01 | blankhead ... sorry its beyond my pay grade in linux ... im not real familiar with grub | 16:05 |
| pharm_ | V-ille, np hope it helps you | 16:05 |
| Monotoko | then they dont have to fiddle with settings | 16:05 |
| blankhead | and everytime i try to play a song in frostwire or rhythmbox, banshee amarok i get an error saying that files too large or an internal problem..i installed everything perfectly idk | 16:05 |

| bazhang | webPragmatist, let me check the man page for sudo | 16:06 |
| donavan01 | blankhead ... try vlc for your media ... to see if its an issue with the media or linux ... VLC has never let me down | 16:06 |
| V-ille | dnivra: wired/wireless? and which ubuntu version? | 16:07 |

| tsuna27 | i have a problem when i close my laptop for 2 long the screen goes blank and i cant do anything how do i fix this | 16:07 |
| sungji | pat5star, have you ever had problems with libdvdcss4? | 16:07 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, ok that is done. should I use the apt-get autoremove now then to remove all old packages? | 16:07 |
| IdleOne | DrGrov: if you like | 16:07 |
| V-ille | dnivra: if it freezes, does "sudo service networking restart" help? | 16:07 |
| blankhead | yup i hear no sound and movie player says the same thing ..files too large | 16:08 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, ok. thanks for your help. i just hated kde very much lol :) just had to test it but love my GNOME more :) | 16:08 |
| IdleOne | DrGrov: :) | 16:08 |
| dnivra | V-ille: networking works fine. it tries to connect to the DSL, fails and connects to LAN after that. | 16:08 |
| Izyum | Hello. How to install libnotify plugin for pidgin in Ubuntu Lucid? | 16:08 |
| Krishnandu | Hey guys....I saw somewhere that not to install XAMPP in Linux. Rather they say to install all the packages single....Can you please say the package names which should I use in apt-get install?? | 16:08 |
| V-ille | dnivra: LAN? | 16:08 |
| dnivra | Izyum: libnotify is installed by default. | 16:08 |
| blankhead | youtube plays sound just fine | 16:08 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, I was just scared to lose my settings in GNOME | 16:09 |
| V-ille | dnivra: so your ppoe connection fails? | 16:09 |
| Beyecixramd | Izyum: use Synaptic and search for "pidgin" or "libnotify" | 16:09 |
| donavan01 | blankhead ... might be an issue with the orginal partition that windows in installed (that is if you trying to pull music from there ) | 16:09 |
| bazhang | Krishnandu, lamp instead of xampp | 16:09 |
| DrGrov | bbabl | 16:09 |
| blankhead | donavan81 no its on ubuntu partition | 16:09 |
| Izyum | Beyecixramd: I have tar.gz now, but how to install it? | 16:09 |
| dnivra | V-ille: yeah in the sense that it connects to a private connection after that yes: i get an IP 192.168.1.2 thanks to my modem. | 16:09 |
| GeekSquid | Krishnandu: sudo tasksel install lamp-server | 16:09 |
| Krishnandu | <bazhang> Okies...But I don't have any idea...what should I use in sudo apt-get install ?? | 16:09 |
| IdleOne | DrGrov: you should be fine now. you may still see some odd behavior like the kubuntu splash but those can be fixed when they come up | 16:09 |
| Krishnandu | <GeekSquid> Okies..!! | 16:10 |
| Beyecixramd | Izyum: no no.... install i9t from the add/remove program... | 16:10 |
| Krishnandu | Thanx | 16:10 |
| donavan01 | blankhead ... then im at a loss man sorry ... might trying downloading something else to the HD and see if it does the same thing | 16:10 |
| dnivra | Beyecixramd: wait pidgin libnotify is installed by default isn't it? | 16:10 |
| dnivra | V-ille: any leads? | 16:10 |
| blankhead | ill just do it the hard way and google the solution | 16:10 |
| dotcol | I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand; have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04 three (3) times on my server and on finishing the installation I remove the CD and on boot up get the following notices : error out of disk and get the grup prompt. Does anyone know a solution for this issue? | 16:10 |
| Beyecixramd | dnivra: .... no idea... but pidgin isn't installed by default so i guess not... | 16:11 |
| V-ille | dnivra: other connections through the same modem work? | 16:11 |
| donavan01 | blankhead..... dont you hate when you have to do that | 16:11 |
| dnivra | Beyecixramd: but well if you install pidgin, the package gets pulled too. | 16:11 |
| lxsysweb | hi, I've just encountered some source code with a cmake instead of a configure.sh, can anybody tell me what I have to do to configure? | 16:11 |

| dnivra | windows* | 16:11 |

| Krishnandu | whats the diff b/w mysql-server and mysql-client?? | 16:11 |
| IdleOne | !info mysql-client | Krishnandu | 16:12 |

| dnivra | Beyecixramd: he's gone anyway. no problem. | 16:12 |
| markit | pat5star: no, the name of the service is squid (and in any case, squidd produces the same error), and yes, I'm sudoing | 16:12 |
| V-ille | dnivra: it's been a while since I last used pppoe, so no idea about its current status. All I can suggest is looking at the logs if the pppoe network scripts complain about something. | 16:12 |
| awake_ | how do i change my "windows key" from Mod4 to Super L, i'm having problems with setting keyboard shortcuts | 16:12 |
| outer_space1 | how do you kill an app that grabs the mouse pointer and keeps it in the window? | 16:13 |
| dnivra | V-ille: logs of nm? or ppp daemon? | 16:13 |
| GeekSquid | dnivra: I run pidgin, I believe the plugin needs to be enabled in your Buddy List window>options>plugins | 16:13 |
| V-ille | dnivra: I think the ppp daemon would be more useful | 16:13 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| IdleOne | outer_space1: the right ctrl key? | 16:13 |
| V-ille | dnivra: nm probably thinks everything's fine :) | 16:13 |

| seatownrocks | ubuntu shutdown crashed on me... now i have no sound... anyone know how to get sound working again? | 16:14 |
| lxsysweb | hi, I've just encountered some source code with a cmake instead of a configure.sh, can anybody tell me what I have to do to configure? | 16:14 |

| V-ille | lxsysweb: see http://www.cmake.org/ | 16:14 |
| dnivra | V-ille: so I need to setup ppp daemon and checks it's logs for failure. | 16:14 |
| lxsysweb | V-ille: ok | 16:14 |
| outer_space1 | warzone 2100 | 16:14 |

| DrGrov | IdleOne, one problem now upon reboot. I still have the Kubuntu logout screen when I shutdown and restart LOL | 16:15 |
| DrGrov | IdleOne, how can I remove that? | 16:15 |
| V-ille | dnivra: I mean, setup the daemon | 16:15 |
| phnom | kasr: Ubuntu Tweak can do that, dunno how persistant it is | 16:15 |
| zax1 | does any one here speaks french? | 16:15 |
| GeekSquid | kasr: right click on panel, properties, in that window there should be a lock checkbox | 16:15 |
| dnivra | V-ille: actually when I use pppoeconf it says "plugin compiled successfully" but doesn't connect. I know you don't have much of a clue like you already said. just saying though; it just doesn't connect to the DSL provider :(. | 16:15 |
| IdleOne | outer_space1: try shift-ctrl or alt-ctrl not sure | 16:15 |
| bazhang | zax1, in #ubuntu-fr | 16:15 |

| oCean_ | mcl0vin: apparently it's fixed in lucid (10.04) in this url (https://bugs.launchpad.net/pastebinit/+bug/526428) there's talk about fix in ppa for karmic. | 16:50 |
| TommyThaGun | capntripps, I'm wondering if it's a permissions setting thing, like your user doesn't have permissions on the system to play and read the files | 16:50 |
| bazhang | !controls > curtmack | 16:50 |
| ubottu | curtmack, please see my private message | 16:50 |

| ubuntu_ | How do I update my USB live Ubuntu 10.04 here????? | 16:50 |
| fcuk112 | i have 3 folders shared on 1 ubuntu box that i am trying to access via another ubuntu box. 2 work fine, for the 3rd i get canonicalize_connect_path failed for service error. it was working before and i don't remember changing anything - why has it stopped working? (using samba).fyi, one diff is that the 2 shares that are working sit under home whilst the 3rd share which stopped working is another HD mounted under /media. | 16:50 |
| yanick_ | so, now ubuntu just took control over my printer that has no driver, and I can't access it in VBox | 16:50 |
| capntripps | tommythagun, yea for sure | 16:50 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, is it persistent? | 16:50 |
| capntripps | tommythagun, i think thats a good possibility.... you know how i can adjust those | 16:51 |
| capntripps | ? | 16:51 |
| yanick_ | how do I give VBox control over my printer so I can use it? | 16:51 |
| TommyThaGun | :-) | 16:51 |
| TommyThaGun | no | 16:51 |
| ubuntu_ | I tried and failed some, but now I can watch Youtube(even though it said my install was failed) | 16:51 |
| TommyThaGun | sorry | 16:51 |
| capntripps | hehe | 16:51 |
| capntripps | no worries | 16:51 |
| TommyThaGun | I'm just a bystander who thought I could help | 16:51 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, its persistent or live only | 16:51 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, yes | 16:51 |
| capntripps | its a steep learning curve but im starting... | 16:51 |
| scunizi | ubuntu_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.. .however if you don't have enough room in / (root) for temp files.. it will fail | 16:51 |
| Krishnandu | Dor C and C++ I need to install build-essential right?? | 16:51 |

| capntripps | thanks though Tommy | 16:51 |

| ubuntu_ | bazhang, what do you mean persistent? | 16:52 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, live only, then you dont | 16:52 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, persistent means changes are saved. | 16:52 |
| sampo_v2 | hector29: is that a piece of software i need to install, or are you saying i just need to modify grub configuration before booting? | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | nope, I would like to UPDATE my Live USB ubuntu 10.04 | 16:52 |
| Krishnandu | sudo apt-get install build-essential for c/c++ right?? | 16:52 |
| rab13s | if i install ubuntu will my AOL still work? | 16:52 |
| bazhang | rab13s, sure? | 16:52 |
| scunizi | rab13s: your AOL what? browser access to email? | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, how do I do? to save the changed???? | 16:52 |
| Krishnandu | sudo apt-get install build-essential for c/c++ right?? | 16:53 |
| jungli | which is best torrent client in linux ? | 16:53 |
| sampo_v2 | Krishnandu: yes | 16:53 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, you make it a persistent usb. a live cannot. | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | my USB is about 4GB | 16:53 |
| Krishnandu | <sampo_v2> Okies..!! Thnx | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | how to make a persistent usb???? | 16:53 |
| bazhang | jungli, ask in #ubuntu-bots | 16:53 |
| yanick_ | ubuntu won't give VBox access to my printer which have no driver (in ubuntu, but does in VBox)! | 16:53 |
| Ganang | how can i set a transparency for the applications menu?(start menu) | 16:53 |
| bazhang | !usb > ubuntu_ | 16:53 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_, please see my private message | 16:53 |
| ubuntu_ | okay | 16:53 |
| yanick_ | how can I tell Ubuntu to yield access to VBox???? | 16:53 |
| Krishnandu | Guys...is there any way out by which I can backup all my installed packages?? So that if I ever had to re-install ubuntu I can install it from the CD only?? | 16:54 |
| frxstrem | is it possible to mount the filesystem from an external machine on the wireless network using SFTP? | 16:54 |
| scunizi | yanick_: did you install the repo version of vbox? | 16:54 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, no, the restricted one | 16:54 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, my scanner works fine, because Ubuntu doesn't recognize it | 16:54 |
| scunizi | yanick_: and are you in the vbox group? | 16:54 |
| wildbat | !sshfs | frxstrem | 16:54 |
| ubottu | frxstrem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS | 16:54 |
| scunizi | ah ok | 16:54 |
| bazhang | Krishnandu, a clone? or simply a backup over time | 16:54 |
| rab13s | scunizi: my AOL pro 3.5 edition | 16:55 |
| frxstrem | wildbat: thanks | 16:55 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, my scaner works fine, but when I plug the printer, ubuntu take control over it and won't let go | 16:55 |
| Krishnandu | <bazhang> A clone would be much better. In that way I would also get my settings back | 16:55 |
| mcl0vin | oCean_: ok, how do i apply that patch | 16:55 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, even if no driver exists for it | 16:55 |
| scunizi | yanick_: perhaps by installing it with a driver that doesn't work so the system thinks that it's recognized and functional.. then vbox might be able to grab it | 16:55 |
| Krishnandu | <bazhang> I just wanted a solution by which if I ever had to reinstall ubuntu then i need not to download the packages again. I can install it from CD/DVD | 16:55 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, I just want to print via VBox.... but the printer is grayed, and I know it's because Ubuntu won't let VBox access the device | 16:55 |
| bazhang | Krishnandu, you could try clonezilla ; there is sbackup for more gradual backups | 16:56 |
| Krishnandu | <bazhang> A clone would be much better. Then I would get my settings back too | 16:56 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, no, I tried that | 16:56 |
| bazhang | Krishnandu, aptoncd then | 16:56 |
| Krishnandu | <bazhang> Okies...!! Thanx | 16:56 |
| bazhang | !aptoncd | Krishnandu | 16:56 |
| ubottu | Krishnandu: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 16:56 |
| scunizi | yanick_: have you installed the printer drivers in the vbox guest? | 16:56 |
| jungli | /hubunt/// | 16:56 |
| ubuntu_ | .................................... I am dumb, don't know where to read | 16:56 |
| bazhang | jungli, ?? | 16:56 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, yes, the scanner works FINE | 16:56 |
| barberan | yeah | 16:56 |
| apctr | How can I uninstall a package which is installed from tar.gz file.....make clean all and make uninstall are not working | 16:56 |
| oCean_ | mcl0vin: it also states that you could install the lucid version. (since it's no binary, just python) You could download the lucid version from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/pastebinit/download | 16:56 |
| bazhang | !usb | ubuntu_ | 16:56 |
| ubottu | ubuntu_: 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 | 16:56 |
| scunizi | yanick_: ah.. this is a combo machine.. I got the impression you had a seperate scanner | 16:57 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, the last one (about persistent) | 16:57 |
| ubuntu_ | Method 0 or Method 1 or ? | 16:57 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, no, it's not a combo machine | 16:57 |
| ubuntu_ | There are 4 methods | 16:57 |
| markitoxs | its my tunnel pointing nowhere? gre1 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 0A-00-00-02-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 | 16:57 |
| ubuntu_ | which method is the right one???? | 16:57 |
| markitoxs | inet addr:10.0.0.2 P-t-P:10.0.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.252 | 16:57 |
| oCean_ | mcl0vin: (i'm not familiair with applying the debdiff) | 16:57 |
| resno | i just restarted the server and it came back... | 16:57 |
| pacific-blue | php -r 'echo "HOME: " . $_ENV["HOME"] . "\n";' gives a result of: PHP Notice: Undefined index: HOME in Command line code on line | 16:58 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, thanks!! | 16:58 |
| scunizi | yanick_: then why do you keep bringing up the scanner.. I remember from the first time you mentioned it that it works | 16:58 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, the one that creates a persistent one | 16:58 |
| edbian | given an ip address on my lan how can I find out the hostname of that machine? | 16:58 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, I have a printer, an IP2200, and I have a scanner, a 4400F. Both devices, when plugged in are recognized by VBox, but only the scanner works; the printer is GRAYED | 16:58 |
| bazhang | resno, fixed? | 16:58 |
| pacific-blue | php -r 'echo "HOME: " . $_ENV["HOME"] . "\n";' gives a result of: "PHP Notice: Undefined index: HOME in Command line code on line". Any idea why? | 16:58 |
| wildbat | pacific-blue, go to #php | 16:58 |
| resno | bazhang: yea, the magically restart did it | 16:58 |
| pacific-blue | wildbat: It's new in 10.04 so I'm thinking it's something with Ubuntu | 16:58 |
| mcl0vin | how do i apply debdiff, please? | 16:59 |
| oCean_ | mcl0vin: aha - if you prefer to work with the patch, you could get the debdiff, and apply as described in this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff | 16:59 |
| scunizi | yanick_: yea.. I got that.. have you tried using the vbox switch to disconnect the scanner and then look to see if the printer suddenly becomes available for connection | 16:59 |
| yanick_ | pacific-blue, var_dump($_ENV) and see what's set | 16:59 |
| Ganang | how can i set a transparency for the applications menu?(start menu) | 16:59 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: do you use Compiz? | 16:59 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, yes, it doesn't | 16:59 |
| ubuntu_ | the last one you mean "Method 3: Copying the ISO CD image to the USB drive" ??? | 16:59 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: yes | 17:00 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, I suspect that Ubuntu tries to use the printer, but can't and won't let it go | 17:00 |
| wildbat | pacific-blue, coz there is no HOME env variable ~ then | 17:00 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, let me check it, hold on | 17:00 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: search in the web "compiz transparent menus" | 17:00 |
| arand | mcl0vin: Quick one: in the source directory "patch -p1 < ../something.debdiff" | 17:00 |
| yanick_ | VBox cannot use a USB device if it is used by the underlaying host machine | 17:00 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: thanks | 17:00 |
| edbian | Ganang, Also, they're called "gnome panels" that might make your search easier | 17:00 |
| pacific-blue | yanick_ wildbat: Ok, I'll try both. | 17:00 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: he's not looking for that... | 17:00 |
| CaponeBH | Hey guys, does anybody know if its possible to restore my ubuntu for 2 days ago? | 17:00 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, is it Method 3 you were talking about?? or Method 2??? | 17:01 |
| Beyecixramd | CaponeBH: do you have a backup? then yes, otherwise, what's exactly your problem? | 17:01 |
| scunizi | yanick_: Do you have another windows machine you can plug it into and "share" it over the network? another source of info is #vbox but I get the impression you might have already been there. | 17:01 |
| greenIT | hi, i have two problems, but one sucks more.... can any1 help me with the logon-screen? | 17:01 |
| resno | greenIT: ask you question | 17:01 |

| CaponeBH | Beyeixramd: My problem is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9337371#post9337371 | 17:01 |
| jamesa00789 | hi | 17:02 |
| guntbert | !here | CaponeBH | 17:02 |
| ubottu | CaponeBH: Please give at least an overview of your problem *here* (all in one line) - you will get a much greater audience. If you have to use more than 3 lines, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | 17:02 |
| Beyecixramd | CaponeBH: next time type in "beye" and press <tab> to autocomplete ;) | 17:02 |
| greenIT | resno, a "funny" guy activated all supporting features (like the on-screen keyboard) at the logonscreen and i can't disable it anymore.... | 17:02 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, What do you mean? They're not called "the start menu"! | 17:02 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: whut | 17:02 |
| jamesa00789 | my ubuntu doesn't sleep or hybernate. on awake it just hangs at a blank screen, can anyone help? | 17:03 |
| resno | greenIT: do you mean, you dont know how to or cant get it to work? | 17:03 |
| maco | jamesa00789: nvidia? | 17:03 |
| jamesa00789 | ati radeon 200M series on my laptop | 17:03 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, take your time, I am reading too~~~ thanks again | 17:03 |
| edbian | Beyecixramd, Ganang was looking to set the gnome-panel menu as transparent but he called it "the start menu" I was just telling him the real name: gnome-panel | 17:03 |
| Beyecixramd | jamesa00789: have you installed the appropiate drivers? | 17:03 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: ooooooh... okay | 17:03 |
| scunizi | yanick_: sorry I'm out of ideas | 17:04 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: I have compiz installled...but i cant find General Options->Opacity Settings-> then add "DropdownMenu" but i cant find this option....do i need anything extra to install | 17:04 |
| jamesa00789 | im just using the drivers that come with ubuntu | 17:04 |
| greenIT | resno, i can't disable the features. in 9.10 it was easy: just press ctrl+alt+f2 and then with f7, but if u enable all features in 10.04, you can't type anything anymore with your keyboard... this sucks -.- | 17:04 |
| yanick_ | scunizi, yeah.... thanks anyway | 17:04 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: edbian: i am accessing it throu compizconfig settings manager | 17:04 |
| edbian | Ganang, That's good | 17:05 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: what exactly do you want to make transparent? the bar? or just the menu that pops up when pressing "applications"? | 17:05 |
| CaponeBH | Beyecixrand: OK, so i was trying to change my startup sound, and i found a topic sayng to me this... Step 1: Go to System -> Preferences -> Starup Applications Look for “GNOME Login Sound” in the list. If you don’t want to hear anything at startup, uncheck this box. If you want to change the sound, press Edit button. Then in the command field you’ll see /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play –id=”desktop-login” –description=”GNOME Login” Change “d | 17:05 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: second option, dropdown menu | 17:05 |
| PeterDrop | hi, i need test a site on ie, there exist some online tool for test a site on diferent web browsers? | 17:06 |
| Beyecixramd | edbian: see? he meant actually the menu, not the bar | 17:06 |
| CaponeBH | Beyecixrand: But i was stupid, cause i followed even this... | 17:06 |
| CaponeBH | Change “desktop-login” to the name of the sound file you want, without file extension. | 17:06 |
| CaponeBH | Click Save and close the startup dialog. | 17:06 |
| CaponeBH | Just after i did that, that i realized that would be more simple to just change the name of the original song to another name, and the name of the song that i wanted to "desktop-login". | 17:06 |
| CaponeBH | However, now its not working any song anymore, the song that i chose just works when i enter as root, cause i tried to do it with root using the way i said up there, changing the song that i wanted to "desktop-login". Well, what i wanna know is if that is a way to restore my “GNOME Login Sound” in the list "System -> Preferences -> Starup Applications" without losing any data, or file. | 17:06 |
| FloodBot4 | CaponeBH: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:06 |

| guntbert | !wtf | Ganang | 17:11 |
| ubottu | Ganang: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 17:11 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, you need the usb-creator tool to do it, it's quite simple really | 17:11 |
| greenIT | Beyecixramd : do you know the package i have to remove so that this features are away? | 17:12 |
| pedrosanta | thanks to all for the help :) | 17:12 |
| pedrosanta | (unetbootin should solve it) | 17:12 |
| Beyecixramd | greenIT: no idea, search for "accesibility" or something similar | 17:12 |
| greenIT | thx | 17:12 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, its graphical and quite easy to set up and follow | 17:12 |
| ubuntu_ | You can directly install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron to a USB drive using the Live CD. Simply select the USB drive as the installation target instead of the local hard disk. <--- this one??? | 17:13 |
| pacific-blue | When I type "set | wc -l" from the command line I get 9352 lines of mostly functions. Is this new with 10.04? I only remember seeing a few system variables being set before... | 17:14 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, we are bypassing that link, and getting the usb-creator tool instead | 17:14 |
| ubuntu_ | bazhang, you mean on the MENU "Startup Disk Creator"??? | 17:15 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, yep that's it | 17:15 |

| Adrian-B | hi. is there any way i could disable an built-in webcam on a laptop? for some reason, it's turning on itself and it's annoying. | 17:16 |
| bazhang | ubuntu_, its possible you did not set it to be persistent, ie just to remove changes upon reboot; try going through it again and mark it to save changes, and allocate the space you deem necessary | 17:17 |

| Krishnandu | <wildbat> ok after installing how would i configure it to work?? | 17:27 |
| arand | mcl0vin: A PPA is a personal package archive, where one can upload packages oneself and have the built and published for others to install, the patches for pastebinit are available from my ppa, but the best way to try the new fix would probably be for you to install it from -proposed ... | 17:27 |
| wildbat | Krishnandu, it only include (Linux) Apache Mysql PHP | 17:27 |

| wildbat | Krishnandu, server is the database server XD ~ client is the cli for accessing the server ~ like phpmyadmin but in terminal | 17:33 |
| bazhang | moes, tried in #compiz yet? | 17:33 |
| Krishnandu | wildbat, ok so you mean i dont need the client?? | 17:34 |
| Nikola-93 | I've got a problem with resolutions. The maximum is 1600xsomething but I need 1920x1080. Ati radeon 2400, open source drivers, it's laptop and this is "secondary" monitor. | 17:34 |

| Kangarooo | hello. can you recommend new system installation partitioning? for 80gb total. I would like to make 1st /boot 250mb should be enough. 2nd swap 1gb if it will be needed then its faster when its more to start of the disk 3rd / 5gb should be enough for clean xubuntu (2gb) and additional programms. 3rd /home all the rest till the end. and all I would like to make xfs so itsfastest yes? for one pc I made xfs boot and its booting but not showing grub. so maybe for | 17:35 |
| TommyThaGun | is there a metapackage way to install the python dev packages? | 17:36 |
| arand | mcl0vin: I'll happily help out (as will many in #ubuntu-motu I trust) with specific questions if you want to go through the whole packaging from original patch to binary, but I'm not going to totally hold your hand through it ;) | 17:36 |
| scott_ino2 | Kangarooo, unless it's changed 100mb should suffice for a /boot partition | 17:37 |
| scott_ino2 | Kangarooo, id make /root (the one with your instal) more than 5GB maybe 8-12 | 17:37 |
| X_o | so ubuntu is not going forward ? | 17:38 |
| arand | mcl0vin: As far as simply getting it to work *now* Install the deb here https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/0.11.2-1ubuntu0.1/+build/1744785 | 17:38 |

| Kangarooo | scott_ino2: you mean not root but system witch symbol is just forwardslash yes? / ? | 17:38 |
| pharm_ | lol he said assing | 17:38 |
| wildbat | pacific-blue, is your php.ini i think~ | 17:39 |
| juanca | lol.. sorry.. assign* | 17:39 |
| pharm_ | :P | 17:39 |
| scott_ino2 | yes Kangarooo i would have put / but didnt want you to get confused | 17:39 |
| wildbat | pacific-blue, variables_order = "EGPCS" .... if the E is missing $_ENV will be empty | 17:39 |
| vlt | juanca: In most cases it's the video card driver. | 17:39 |
| scott_ino2 | Kangarooo, by default / will make all directories including a home directory | 17:40 |
| onetinsoldier | TommyThaGun: not sure what you're asking i guess. i mean, i do --> apt-cache search python-dev ...and it comes up with only 3 packages. it's not like there's a ton of python-dev packages that i can see that would make it call for a metapackage | 17:40 |
| X-Raimo | hello i have problem with cairo-dock http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_1.png | 17:40 |
| jenda | Anyone using Thunderbird in Lucid? Can I change the font color of folder names? Whenever a folder has new mail, it turns grey and is very hard to see. It is made more inconspicuous instead of being highlighted. | 17:40 |
| juanca | vlt: that's what I guessed, but what can I do.. I don't have any ATI or Nvidia card.. it's a simple pc | 17:40 |
| jenda | Also, I liked the old search box (filtered instead of opened a search results tab) - is there a way to return it? (Thunderbird in Lucid) | 17:40 |
| Kangarooo | scott_ino2: unles I make additional folders in other partitions. yes? so ok I make 8-12gb not /root but / yes? | 17:41 |
| onetinsoldier | TommyThaGun: what i mean by 'make it call for'.. is i just don't see the need, or call, for a python-dev metapackage here | 17:41 |
| TommyThaGun | thanks onetinsoldier I already had it actually | 17:41 |
| cagge | wildbat it dosnt work i need to send å as command to serial.write() | 17:41 |

| TommyThaGun | I was more concerned about getting the lastest version | 17:41 |
| TommyThaGun | thanks | 17:41 |
| scott_ino2 | Kangarooo, correct... I made mine like 10GB but foudn it was getting smaller and smaller, depends on what software you want.. but leaving a gig or two extra wont hurt | 17:41 |

| Beyecixramd | Kangarooo: ext4? | 17:49 |
| bazhang | rahul_, which software | 17:49 |
| onetinsoldier | !best | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 17:50 |

| Kangarooo | Beyecixramd: I've in google found that xfs is fastest. but for one computer I've put month ago xfs also for boot but then its not showing grub | 17:51 |
| Beyecixramd | rahul_: in ubuntu, unlike windows, you have a thing called "package manager2 which handles a huge database for apps. installed, uninstalled, updateable, and such | 17:51 |
| Beyecixramd | rahul_: better use that | 17:51 |
| rahul_ | Beyecixramd:Yes It is. But how to install softwares from archieves. We have to type ./config or something. | 17:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: thats from 'source' | 17:51 |
| Beyecixramd | Kangarooo: look. i use ext4, it's just what i need. if you want performance, try brtfs | 17:52 |
| bazhang | rahul_, no need | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: and most source packages have their own directions | 17:52 |
| Beyecixramd | rahul_: hmmm... just follow the instructions in the package, but again, it's not the right way to install software.. | 17:52 |
| Beyecixramd | rahul_: to install software, better fetch a .deb file, or install directly from the pagkage manager (Synaptic is called in Ubuntu) | 17:52 |
| rahul_ | in readme they said to type make and then make install. | 17:53 |

| omfarka | i can only open from terminal | 17:57 |
| === yesorno_ is now known as yesorno | ||
| Dr_Willis | omfarka: use the menu editor if ones not in the menus.. or right click and add a launcher to the desktop | 17:57 |
| Beyecixramd | chiKita: weird.... please take this to the ubuntu forums, so we can help you more accurately with screenshots and such... thanks | 17:57 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Can u help me in installing from archieves | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | omfarka: it added an icon to the Acessories menu here | 17:58 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: yeah, thanks..deleting the file solved the problem | 17:59 |
| elderorb | Good evening, can i ask questions about the netbook version here aswell, or is that another chanel? | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: totally depends on what it is exactly you are compiling . the phrase 'from archives' is not techincally 'correct' | 17:59 |
| bazhang | rahul_, installing what | 17:59 |
| Johnm | rename u22 purple_fb | 17:59 |
| Johnm | save | 17:59 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: :) | 17:59 |
| Beyecixramd | !ask | elderorb | 17:59 |
| rahul_ | bazhang: VLC media player | 17:59 |
| ubottu | elderorb: 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. :-) | 17:59 |
| bazhang | rahul_, install from repositories | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: vlc is in the repos. and there are PPA's for experimental versions. theres no need to compile vlc from source. | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | !info vlc | 18:00 |
| ubottu | vlc (source: vlc): multimedia player and streamer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.6-1ubuntu1.1 (lucid), package size 1598 kB, installed size 3792 kB | 18:00 |
| omfarka | Dr_Willis: yeah i see now but i have installed "cream" so i couldn't realize the vim | 18:00 |
| omfarka | thank you | 18:00 |
| tripps | so I had to use livecd setting i915.modeset=1 to boot my gateway laptop up for lucid to install, and after installation is complete, the laptop still freezes upon bringing up X even through the same kernel option is set up in grub. What gives? | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | omfarka: in some ways i like 'cream' it helped me learn some of the features of vi i had been overlooking. | 18:00 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Yup! U r right. But then also if I want to install it from archieves bcoz I have already downloaded it . | 18:00 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: what is the name of ubuntu complete themes ? just gnome themes? what is metacity actually? | 18:01 |
| ugur | anyone usese irssi ? how can i close nickserv tab ? /leave doesn't work. | 18:01 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: It is in the .tar.gz2 format | 18:01 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: it's not like windows... | 18:01 |
| bazhang | rahul_, there is no need to compile vlc | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: the fact you downloade an archive.. is meaningless.. You will have to download a few 100+more mb of files to compile it.. so in short.. Install it witht he package manager.. and delete that tar.gz | 18:01 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: there are GTK themes, which affects GTK apps, and apps taking GTK controls. Like Empathy, Pidgin, OpenOffice and Firefox | 18:01 |
| Apage43 | ugur /win close | 18:01 |
| rahul_ | bazhang: then what? | 18:02 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: and then, you have Metacity, which is the "border" for ALL applications (including Wine apps and Qt apps) | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: 'sudo apt-get install vlc' and there ya go.. | 18:02 |
| blarghhh | Alright, so I installed ubuntu 10.04 on an external harddrive, and now Grub runs off of that. On my internal hard drive I am running ubuntu 8.04. How can I restore grub so that it's running on the old internal hard drive? Is there an easy way to just switch over?? Because I'm imagining it's still on the internal hard drive, just not activated. | 18:02 |
| ugur | Apage43: thanks | 18:02 |
| richapple | how to mount usb-drive manually? | 18:02 |
| vikas | hi | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | richapple: sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /media/MAKEADIRFIRST | 18:02 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: If I format my pc then I again have to download the same file. | 18:02 |
| ZykoticK9 | Ganang, technically - metacity is the default "windows manager" for Gnome, Compiz is an alternative "windows manager" | 18:02 |
| oodavid | Having trouble getting Kate to highlight custom file-extensions - tried changing /etc/mime.types but no luck. I want *.ncl to be highlighted as PHP... | 18:02 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: hummmm...... now it makes sense.... so actually which theme takes control of ubuntu default stuff....the ones that come with the system including panels and so on | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: so? if you format the pc you will have to download/reinstall a lot of things.. | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: it will proberly take you a few hours to compile vlc.. | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: given the tuff you will need to install BEFOR you can compile. | 18:03 |
| vikas | i am not b able to edit keytouch | 18:03 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: those are GTK themes, but some artists also package in, a set of a GTK theme and a Metacity theme, which make them appear as a set in the theme manager | 18:03 |
| Ganang | yeah but the theme manager from ubuntu has a series of "ready to use themes" what are these ones? combination of all? | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: while the .deb is lot smaller. | 18:03 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Cant we keep a copy of file on hard disk and not to download from the internet again and again. | 18:03 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: ok nice... | 18:03 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: GTK + Metacity + maybe some other funky stuff, like wallpapers | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: save the .deb file and all the other packages the package manager caches in /var/ and YES.. you can keep the debs.. | 18:04 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: the "sets" also are able to change the iconset and the mouse cursor | 18:04 |
| vikas | ok good | 18:04 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: I set up a pc on my lan to cache all the packages.. i download them once. (well the server does) and the other 4 pc's get them from that pc. | 18:04 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Ok.. Thanks. Where should I get the .deb files? | 18:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | rahul_, DEBs are in /var/cache/apt/archive it's a very handy directory to backup | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: they are in /var/cache/apt | 18:05 |
| vikas | any one here to help me | 18:05 |
| richapple | sudo mount /dev/DEVICE /media/MAKEADIRFIRST what should i write instead of DEVICE? | 18:05 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: so basically to add such a theme do my theme manager which ones should i liook for? i dont want to search for folders where i should manually place these themes maybe tweak them..i dont know.... how can i easily add them to my manager...i am sure it must have a way | 18:05 |
| vikas | plz | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | richapple: plug in the device.. wait a few moments.. check 'dmesg' output. or check 'sudo fdisk -l' output | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | richapple: dmesg should mention it at the end. | 18:05 |
| arand | !help | vikas | 18:06 |
| ubottu | vikas: 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. :-) | 18:06 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: basically i am in gnome-looks web site and i have a series of categories...which one would be the one necesssary to easily to add to my theme manageer? | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | richapple: alternatively.. open a xterm, do a 'tail -f /var/log/messages' plug the thing in.., and watch the window to see it get identified and its sd## | 18:06 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: some themes are ready for dragging and dropping, some others aren't. To install those enabled for drag-and-drop, just drag the .tar.gz package to the theme manager | 18:06 |
| ZykoticK9 | richapple, alternatively "sudo fdisk -l" will list all hard drives | 18:06 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: depends. it's the artist who decides where to put his theme, in which category | 18:06 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Thanks. I found it. This will help me a lot | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Ganang: check out the 'gnome-art' tool it lets you easially install stuff. | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: you may want to read up on the apt-get/apt packag manager system ubuntu uses.. | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | !apt | rahul_ | 18:07 |
| ubottu | rahul_: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 18:07 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: listen to what Dr_Willis says too, he's a smart dude :) | 18:07 |
| vikas | hi | 18:07 |
| * Dr_Willis slips Beyecixramd a Fivers... | 18:07 | |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 18:07 |
| vikas | every one here | 18:07 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: yeah, but do they have a specific extension that i know i can drag-n-drop ? should i look for gnome 2.x themes? | 18:07 |
| Beyecixramd | haha Dr_Willis | 18:07 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: yes, their extension is .tar.gz | 18:07 |
| arand | !hi | vikas | 18:08 |
| ubottu | vikas: 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! | 18:08 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: Dr_Willis: ok thanks guys | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ganang: they will be archives.. if done properly - check out the 'gnome-art' tool. or the 'gnome-art-ng' tool, (that one is not in the repos) | 18:08 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: but keep in mind that not all .tar.gz themes are ready for dropping :) | 18:08 |
| vikas | ya thnx | 18:08 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Can u tell me the site where linux users can find .deb files? | 18:08 |
| Beyecixramd | rahul_: google :) | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: they are stored on the ubuntu servers. | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ganang: you will soon find that most of the themes/parts are rather.. ugly. :) | 18:08 |
| Beyecixramd | Ganang: anyway.... just thought about that... we could use a nice extension for themes... to make it uniform (the way of installing themes) | 18:08 |
| oodavid | Having trouble getting Kate to highlight custom file-extensions - tried changing /etc/mime.types but no luck. I want *.ncl to be highlighted as PHP... | 18:09 |
| costre | rahul_, getdeb.org is one | 18:09 |
| costre | or .net | 18:09 |
| costre | either way | 18:09 |

| vikas | ok | 18:10 |
| rahul_ | Thank You Dr_Willis: Costre: | 18:10 |
| vikas | i was first using ubuntu and then i changed to xubantu | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. Now how to 'save' the flash game on googles front Page.. :) | 18:11 |
| Ganang | Beyecixramd: yeah probably i will have to find out a way to play around with them...also it disturbs me because with a transparent bar and black wallpaper i wanted fonts with white color....that is why i installed the gnome-color-chooser the first time that messed up with my .gtkrc file | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: you Instlled ubuntu, then installed xubuntu-desktop package on ubuntu? | 18:11 |
| vikas | then threw update manager i try ed to update | 18:11 |
| vikas | ya | 18:11 |
| vikas | threw terminal | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | vikas: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and see what the error messages are. | 18:12 |
| onetinsoldier | need details of problem.. error messages and such | 18:12 |
| maru_ | 18:12 | |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis:Shall one delete the packages stored in var/cache/apt | 18:12 |
| vikas | ok let try | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: why bother? | 18:12 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis:Once we take the back up of them? | 18:12 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis:To save disk space? | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: leave them alone. They get auto cleaned out as needed. | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | they also get auto-redownloaded as needed. | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | rahul_: theres also the 'sudo apt-get autoremove' and 'sudo apt-get clean' commands | 18:13 |
| jack_boss | why does locate irssi for ex. still list files in /var/ after using apt-get purge? | 18:14 |
| rahul_ | Dr_Willis: Also I have installed wine. Yet I am unable to play counter strike 1.6 | 18:14 |
| richapple | i know it's stupid question but what should i write instead of MAKEADIRFIRST in sudo mount /sde1 /media/MAKEADIRFIRST | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: the locate command uses a database. that database gets updated like 1 a day | 18:14 |
| wildbat | i got out of scan range when ever a game try to fullscreen , how to fix that? | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !appdb | rahul_ | 18:14 |
| ubottu | rahul_: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: use 'sudo updatedb' to force a update of the locate database | 18:14 |
| jack_boss | so locate irssi without updatedb would have lsited nothing? | 18:14 |
| jack_boss | other way around | 18:15 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: locate uses the database. :) so its as acurate as the last time it got updated.. | 18:15 |
| guntbert | richapple: you should make a dir first (e.g. mountdir) and then put that name into the mount command | 18:15 |
| vikas | i wanna pest the output how can i do | 18:15 |
| bazhang | vikas, paste.ubuntu.com | 18:15 |

| vikas | no | 18:18 |
| KaOSoFt | Hmm... I "remove"d nautilus-share because sharing a Samba folder through it (Nautilus) wouldn't work, it would ALWAYS ask me for a username/password, even though I set it to work with guests, and even though I wrote my own username/password, to no avail, and now I reinstalled it, but totally lost the right-click option to share on Nautilus. How can I fix that? | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Roasted_: ive seen that when ive connected by my Wired network also. :) | 18:18 |
| vikas | i dont think | 18:18 |
| Roasted_ | Dr_Willis, I don't like it. Tell it to stop. | 18:18 |
| jack_boss | Dr_Willis: how does purge work | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | KaOSoFt: you could of giveen your user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' and it might of worked... | 18:19 |
| jack_boss | Dr_Willis: does it look for every related file to the programm being removed? | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: purge removes config files for apps as well as the app. | 18:19 |
| DoctorWho | hello. i have just installed fresh copy of lucid lynx, and had flashplug-installed for firefox. but it appears this works just partially; i can't affect any player controls in YouTube, SpeedTest.net and other sites. for instance. would appreciate any hints. | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: just the config files.. the idea of 'every related file' is a little broad. :) | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: and its just the SYSTEM config files. not custome user configs. | 18:19 |
| penris | hey, I was here last night asking about some problems, it didn't work so I just went to bed | 18:19 |
| === penris is now known as opnet | ||
| opnet | me | 18:20 |
| jack_boss | Dr_Willis: well i compiled a file and installed it with apt-get and found some hidden file in my home dir | 18:20 |
| opnet | histon was talking about it | 18:20 |
| jack_boss | after using purge and reinstalling it, the home dir is empty of such file | 18:20 |
| opnet | or histo | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: files in the users HOME dir are NOT going to be removed by the package manager system | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: unless you did somthing very.. weird.. | 18:20 |

| opnet | lol, yeah | 18:21 |
| opnet | good point | 18:21 |
| onetinsoldier | Roasted: what's happening? is something constantly spitting a message out at you? btw, i know nothing about wireless | 18:21 |
| bazhang | Kangarooo, welcome to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss | 18:21 |
| jack_boss | Dr_Willis: uhm, what if its something like ./irssi/config | 18:21 |
| KaOSoFt | Dr_Willis, but I set it (through the Nautilus extension) to accept guests requests. | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | jack_boss: double check that path.. if you mean .irssi/stuff in the users home.. the package manager should NOT be affecting files/dirs in the users home dirs. | 18:22 |
| KaOSoFt | Guests also have a password? ._. | 18:22 |
| opnet | I'm going to install slax so whatever | 18:22 |
| KaOSoFt | The thing now is, I lost the right-click Share option on Nautilus. I don't see it anymore. :s | 18:22 |
| sclytrack | Anybody here thinking that Lucid is unstable? | 18:23 |
| jack_boss | Dr_Willis: i didnt do anything funny i just dont want files spread like config files that would have stuff like auto connect | 18:24 |
| KaOSoFt | Nevermind, nautilus -q did the trick. | 18:24 |
| jack_boss | and when i reinstall irssi and not all files were removed incluing files in var im confused | 18:24 |

| alecbenzer | where is the menu configuration for grub stored in 10.04 (ie if I wanted to change the name of one of the entries) | 18:41 |
| IdleOne | tobiasz: try http://www.youtube.com/html5 see if it helps with performance | 18:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Dr_Willis: oh? hmm, sweet! | 18:41 |
| trelayne | this appears to be a major bug being reported by many people right now... doesn't happen in chrome... | 18:41 |
| phlak_user | alecbenzer: /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | onetinsoldier: click on the 'add a coin' button | 18:41 |
| onetinsoldier | Dr_Willis: ok, i will try it :-) thanks | 18:42 |
| trelayne | http://support.mozilla.com/nl/forum/1/677839 | 18:42 |
| dipu_ | tobiaz .. maybe firefox is not pickin up the latest version of flash | 18:42 |
| alecbenzer | phlak_user: there's a "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" warning on the top of that file. is this so it's idiot proof, or should I really not edit that file? | 18:43 |
| tobiasz | IdleOne is that just a click to enable html5 youtube? | 18:43 |
| IdleOne | tobiasz: yup | 18:43 |
| tobiasz | dipu_ it is | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | alecbenzer: read up on grub2. and dont edit that file. | 18:44 |
| Dr_Willis | !grub2 | alecbenzer | 18:44 |
| ubottu | alecbenzer: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 18:44 |
| phlak_user | alecbenzer: thats because it gets written when you run the update-grub2 command which reads entries in /etc/grub.d/ | 18:44 |
| guntbert | alecbenzer: every change you make here get overwritten with the next update, changes should be made to /etc/default/grub | 18:44 |
| phlak_user | alecbenzer: but you could make small changes etc like names in that file (doesnt hurt) | 18:45 |

| Loshki | LucidGuy: I've never managed a successful forced unmount of a non-responding nfs server. I end up rebooting... | 18:46 |

| claude23 | phlak_user: so this will save all my settings and stuff to my USB drive? | 19:00 |
| dipu__ | Renji .. u can add it to startup | 19:00 |
| === jungli is now known as C0BRA | ||
| vikas | k | 19:00 |
| Renji | thank you dipu__ , phlak_user :) ill try it | 19:00 |
| phlak_user | napster: now whenever an application that uses pulseaudio is running, you can use pavucontrol to control it | 19:00 |
| dipu__ | Renji .. system -> prefereces -> startup | 19:00 |
| phlak_user | claude23: yes | 19:00 |
| dipu__ | Renji .. first you need to install compiz | 19:00 |
| vikas | wanna knowledge about how os interact with pc configuration | 19:01 |
| napster | phlak_user, I need to mute firefox for sample? | 19:01 |
| phlak_user | dipu__: you dont need compiz for ymetacit | 19:01 |
| phlak_user | napster: mute firefox?? | 19:01 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: So I should type this in evey time I boot? | 19:01 |
| acicula | warriorforgod, if you had hardware raid and the raid hw died you need to replace it with the exact same hardware | 19:01 |
| napster | phlak_user, Yes | 19:01 |
| IceWewe | how does Ubuntu go about suspending a desktop? | 19:01 |
| phlak_user | claude23: nope just add it to grub conf | 19:01 |
| napster | phlak_user, Videos streams, java scripts | 19:01 |
| C0BRA | how can i see stock markets update in terminal ? | 19:02 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: How should I go about doing this? | 19:02 |
| phlak_user | napster: I think theres some option in firefox itself to do that | 19:02 |
| warriorforgod | acicula: Not the answer I wanted. I can't find the same model enclosure anywhere. | 19:02 |
| vikas | think linux will help me batter | 19:02 |
| phlak_user | !grub | claude23 | 19:02 |
| ubottu | claude23: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 19:02 |
| strace | What is the panel addon that lists your email/im/social networking stuff? (It is default in 10.04) | 19:02 |
| dipu__ | phlak_user ..correct ..metacity and compiz ..both can solve Renji's problem | 19:02 |
| C0BRA | vikas chutiye kaisa hai tu | 19:02 |
| napster | phlak_user, I can't one so far... Thats why I give this a try... | 19:02 |
| napster | *find | 19:02 |
| phlak_user | napster: ok | 19:02 |
| masterburner | I have a dual monitor setup... Now whenever I launch a steam game fullscreen, the game window spans both my screens. Is there a way to force wine fullscreen programs on one display? | 19:03 |
| napster | phlak_user, So no hope...? | 19:03 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: you understand that I am booting this from a flash drive with a virtual machine right? | 19:03 |
| acicula | warriorforgod, well its not going to chance, the way raid works is specific to the hardware raid chip controller and firmware, so you cant just switch to software raid | 19:03 |
| Axan | OpenGL works fine on 9.04 but not on 10.04; how to know which package are responsible for that ? | 19:03 |
| phlak_user | napster: cant say | 19:03 |
| acicula | *change | 19:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: if you put package on 'keep', i don't think it'll get updated, but not positive. in the old days, you would upgrade to new version of debian/ubuntu distro by changing you're /etc/apt/sources.list file and the running apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. and, you could do --> apt-get -s dist-upgrade to see what all it was going to do first, without actually doing it. not sure of way to do that now, but there is prob | 19:03 |
| onetinsoldier | ably a way | 19:03 |
| napster | phlak_user, okey | 19:03 |
| vikas | who is this bastard | 19:03 |
| rab13s | me | 19:03 |
| phlak_user | claude23: yes so the boot loader is on the flashdrive right? | 19:03 |

| napster | Can anyone help me to mute firefox? | 19:04 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: I have a virtual machine running it | 19:04 |
| rab13s | sudo apt-get remove firefox | 19:04 |
| phlak_user | claude23: i know you mentioned qemu | 19:04 |
| napster | Can anyone help me to mute firefox? Without any addons | 19:04 |
| blarghhh | napster, pulseaudio | 19:05 |
| napster | blarghhh, How | 19:05 |
| Renji | phlak_user & dipu__ . Thanks for your help, that solved my problem, with metacity --replace on startup | 19:05 |
| blarghhh | install pulseaudio? idk, there are guides, look it up. but its default in 10.04 | 19:05 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: actually, I'm trying to keep the default GPU drivers installed with 9.04 but which I cannot find in 10.04.. But maybe those drivers are not compliant with recent versions of xserver/kernel ? | 19:05 |
| phlak_user | Renji: yw | 19:05 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: So i understand that qemu is the boot loader | 19:05 |
| dipu__ | Renji .. :-D | 19:05 |
| janeNarak | hello, i'm customize install cd, i'm add extra package phpmyadmin and cacti, but dbconfig cannot connect mysql-server, because mysql-server not running. how to add phpmyadmin, cacti in customize install cdrom? | 19:05 |
| phlak_user | claude23: nope thats the VM | 19:05 |
| masterburner | I have a dual monitor setup... Now whenever I launch a steam game (using Wine) fullscreen, the game window spans both my screens. Is there a way to force Wine fullscreen programs on one display? | 19:05 |
| shishire | Ok, how do I force apt-get to ignore all dependencies on a specific package? I'm running a locally compiled dev version, but when I go to uninstall the non-patched version in the repos, it tries to remove applications which depend upon it. | 19:06 |
| janeNarak | Axan, add universe,multivese to sources.list | 19:06 |
| ogelami | how do i open the hotkey configuration | 19:06 |
| Axan | already done.. | 19:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: correct. they will not work on new version of Xorg that's in Lucid... i can't be 100% certain of that, but i am pretty sure you will find that to be the case | 19:06 |
| LjL | shishire: you can't | 19:06 |
| Cosmo` | does anyone know if you can use software to force a USB On-The-Go port to act as a host even with a Mini-USB B cable? | 19:06 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: I do not have a boot loader then... The website I used told me just to type persistent in everytime I boot | 19:06 |
| btr | (solved) | 19:06 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: So, what's the best thing to do ? To be "up to date", but with working openGl drivers ? | 19:07 |
| phlak_user | claude23: the boot loader is in the os that you are trying to boot within qemu | 19:07 |
| opnet | quick question | 19:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: well, what make/model is your video card? | 19:07 |
| shishire | LjL, so what, just uninstall then reinstall the packages which depend upon the library by dpkg --ignore-depends? | 19:07 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: ATI Radeon X600 (RV380) | 19:07 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: Ok, i am booting ubuntu | 19:08 |
| phlak_user | claude23: so ubuntu lucid uses grub2 as the bootloader | 19:08 |
| acicula | warriorforgod, for what its worth if you use mdadm , ie software raid you wont have this issue should your motherboard or sata controller fail since that raid implentation doesnt depend on the raid hardware used | 19:08 |
| phlak_user | !grub2 | claude23 | 19:08 |
| ubottu | claude23: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 19:08 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: not sure. it's no longer supported by ATI? no longer a driver for it in ati's fglrx driver? | 19:08 |

| Axan | On 9.04 LiveCD, glxgears works perfect; on 10.04 LiveCD (and even when try other drivers), the best I can do is launching glxgears for few seconds then it {freeze/unfreeze} loops. | 19:09 |

| warriorforgod | acicula: I didn't realize it was a raid array until the lacie usb enclosure died and I opened it up to see if I could put the disk in my pc. That is when I realized that it was 2 drives set up in a striped raid array. | 19:09 |

| shishire | LjL, that sounds about right. I'll try it out and report back | 19:10 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: I tried to install drivers downloaded from ATI website (9.3..) but got my monito shut down on startup ^^ | 19:10 |
| phlak_user | claude23: look in /etc/grub.d/ | 19:10 |
| Axan | hey ! way.. Maybe it's just a matter of screen resolution ? | 19:10 |

| opnet | ok | 19:12 |
| opnet | in slackware when I was booting it would say there weren't any video modes found and gave you a list to choose, and when I chose vesa somethingorother it would boot with a nice resolution, but this doesn't happen in ubuntu, so when I tried to add vga=874 but that obviously won't work in ubuntu 10.04, so what should I do? | 19:12 |
| opnet | also have nosplash in /etc/default/grub | 19:12 |
| hoonteke | so, I've had lucid on my machine for 23 days now, and I've had no pop-up or suggestion to update packages. Is the default now to let the user figure it out on their own? Or is it just my machine? | 19:13 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: i don't know. that card is probably no longer supported by the ati linux driver team would be my guess. that card is pretty old. i could be wrong! keep asking. someone else might know for certain. or search on the internet | 19:13 |
| phlak_user | hoonteke: just your machine | 19:13 |
| hoonteke | k | 19:13 |
| acicula | warriorforgod, yeah that is probably the most unreliable way to store data since the failure of any of those disks or the raid card will cause dataloss, file a complaint if it was sold as a safe backup, but software wise there is not much to be done, beyond replacing the broken raid controller, if thats it, with a new raid controller. Software wise at best you could contact the manufacturer for a way to recover the data, or which raid controllers ar | 19:13 |
| acicula | e compatible to recover the raid with. | 19:13 |
| Daekdroom | Axan, Which ubuntu version are you using? | 19:13 |
| flyingwater | okay, i am on chatzilla on ubuntu now...but when i try to install xchat it says E: Couldn't find package xchat | 19:14 |
| MACscr | anyone recommend a nice sip or iax client thats made more for business use than social? | 19:14 |
| Daekdroom | Axan, if it's anything more recent than 9.04, then the ATI proprietary driver will definitely not work. | 19:14 |

| mika__ | can you help me with my script? | 19:17 |

| coalesce | anyone know what part of the theme file in grub i change to alter the position of the progress bar? | 19:21 |
| jdpond | phlak_user: rather like that - mapping IP addresses to bridged devices. It's trying to do it before the bridging completes. | 19:21 |
| a3ist | soreau, do a !pastebin of your output from "free" and I can take a look | 19:21 |
| scunizi | phlak_user: cool.. that was one of the reasons I put kubuntu on my desktop.. ubuntu w/ gnome-shell on lappy.. | 19:21 |
| soreau | a3ist: Judging by running the output of free on a machine where I know what the memory size is, the default is indeed mb | 19:22 |
| phlak_user | jdpond: are you using brctl to setup the bridge? | 19:22 |
| Axan | How to be sure of which graphic driver is used currently ? (Has there is no always a "driver" value in xorg.conf; by default) | 19:22 |

| phlak_user | claude23: did you get the grub screen first? | 19:23 |
| coalesce | anyone know what variable to change in the theme file of burg to alter the progress bar position? | 19:24 |
| scunizi | learner7: find one you like and don't worry about it.. I typically just remove the sd/cf card and put it in a reader.. typically a much faster file transfer espicially with larger image files | 19:24 |
| Axan | Daekdroom: And when glxinfo crash segmentation fault ? ^^ | 19:24 |
| claude23 | what grub screen? | 19:24 |

| a3ist | soreau, this is copy/pasted from the man page for "free"......"The -b switch displays the amount of memory in bytes; the -k switch (set by default) displays it in kilobytes; the -m switch displays it in megabytes; the -g switch displays it in gigabytes." | 19:24 |

| ubuntu-usr_ | hi | 19:25 |
| IdleOne | hello | 19:25 |
| soreau | a3ist: I thought you were the one that said free -m, because that is the command I have been using | 19:25 |
| a3ist | soreau, no worries. When in doubt, the man pages are usually the best reference. | 19:26 |
| phlak_user | claude23: its too hard to explain.. hang on, let me see if theres a tutorial i can pull | 19:26 |
| ubuntu-usr_ | i'd like to setup my computer as ssh serwer i have installed openssh-server package but what i should do if i want to make my computer accessible via internet? | 19:26 |
| sclytrack | Are you guys all running lucid? | 19:27 |
| sclytrack | already? | 19:27 |
| soreau | a3ist: Right, but how do you find a man page for some program that tells you how much memory your machine has when you don't know about free? ;) | 19:27 |
| IdleOne | sclytrack: not all of us | 19:27 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: perhaps you need to rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, or remove it. see if you have that file | 19:27 |
| du | lucid right | 19:27 |
| a3ist | soreau, I didn't mean originally; I meant when you were unsure about the format :) | 19:27 |
| soreau | sclytrack: Yes, the entire world is. | 19:27 |
| sclytrack | Because I'm still on the previous one and don't really dare to upgrade. | 19:27 |
| soreau | a3ist: Oh I'm sure, free -m outputs in mb by default :D | 19:27 |
| IdleOne | sclytrack: you don't have to upgrade if you don't want to | 19:28 |
| phlak_user | claude23: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/ | 19:28 |
| nemo | soreau: graphically, presumably a user would use the gnome system monitor which is accessible in a few ways :) | 19:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: if you rename/remove that file, you would need to restart x-windows for the change to take effect | 19:28 |
| Flaster | Yo every body | 19:28 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: I tried severals tutorials from ubuntu.org actually (to install catalyst drivers, or open-source one, ... but none worked.. maybe I did something wrong.. maybe Its just doomed) | 19:28 |
| onetinsoldier | hi | 19:28 |
| sonicroxs | Yo. | 19:28 |
| Flaster | i need some help | 19:28 |
| soreau | nemo: There is no gnome system monitor. The original question was, how to find the amount of ram a machine has via cli | 19:28 |
| claude23 | phlak_user: It's an old one right? | 19:28 |
| nemo | ah. "via cli" | 19:28 |

| prettyhatem | Is there a way to find out what cards are connected to my PCI slots? I need to find out if the chipset on my sata pci card is silicon image | 19:29 |
| prettyhatem | ? | 19:29 |
| IdleOne | prettyhatem: lspci | 19:29 |
| phlak_user | claude23: the logic is the same | 19:29 |
| a3ist | soreau, the only reason I piped up originally was to clarify about the output from "free" being deceiving without context; a lot of people see the first line and think that most of their memory is being wasted, when in fact its just being delegated for access via buffers, and the buffer line gives a better idea of what's being actively used and what's free. | 19:29 |
| prettyhatem | IdleOne: thanks! | 19:29 |
| Astyx | soreau, free -m | 19:29 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: maybe.. maybe not. anyway, i don't usually do 'upgrades' for a new version of linux. i almost always do a fresh clean install | 19:29 |
| Axan | onetinsoldier: why ? | 19:29 |
| soreau | Astyx: Right, we've covered that, thanks | 19:29 |
| a3ist | soreau, its just a habit of mine to offer clarifications to potentially confusing or ambiguous situations or advice. | 19:30 |
| soreau | a3ist: Well most people are idiots, so I see where you're coming from ;) | 19:30 |
| soreau | a3ist: The output was very clear to me | 19:30 |
| IdleOne | soreau: Please try not to be insulting. a3ist is correct when saying that sometimes clarification is needed. | 19:31 |
| Flaster | ubottu, ok so i'm trying to install Ubu on a Laptop CompaqPresario cq61 . i tried with Lucid but it gives an error when at 64% i tells me to clean the Reader | 19:31 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:31 |
| onetinsoldier | Axan: just so many different issues you can have with all kinds of things on an upgrade it seems like to me... fresh install, always works beautifully. if you are a very experienced user, then you can usually fix most issues yourself on an upgrade. otherwise, you're could be asking for trouble | 19:31 |
| Andorin | Hey, guys, question. On my desktop I currently have a wireless keyboard + mouse that use the same receiver, but the mouse is dying. If I got a new wireless mouse with its own receiver, would I be able to run both the keyboard and the new mouse at the same time, or would the wireless signals conflict with each other? | 19:31 |
| hello-everybody | hello | 19:31 |
| a3ist | soreau, well I wouldn't put it quite like that :) But the general level of experience with the CLI among new ubuntu users is often kinda basic, so I just err on the side of caution. | 19:31 |

| carneades | a3ist: when i click the applet it says "network" under "wired network" instead of showing my connection settings | 19:42 |
| a3ist | carneades, then its probably a result of the manual settings not communicating with the DHCP server to request a proper lease. What do you get when you run "cat /etc/resolv.conf"? | 19:42 |

| a3ist | carneades, frankly I'm not as experienced fixing it through networkmanager as i am through regular CLI methods. You can set your DNS servers manually by adding them to resolv.conf as "nameserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" and if you don't want them replaced, you can change the privs on the file to remove write. | 19:45 |

| claude23 | phlak_user: What now? | 19:47 |
| carneades | a3ist: so i tried changing it to my static ip. just wondering if i should have left it | 19:47 |
| a3ist | carneades, can you do a pastebin of the contents of your hosts file? | 19:47 |
| a3ist | carneades, that could very definitely mess with NetworkManager requesting a DHCP lease | 19:47 |
| maximus_ | masterburner: I have dual monitor too, and would love to find an answer to that | 19:47 |
| BitWraith | Is there any way to get apt to install the 2.6.29 version of the kernel? I understand from mailing list postings that is one kernel known to work with my hardware. | 19:47 |
| phlak_user | claude23: not sure what you meant by exiting graphical mode and entering text mode | 19:47 |
| scunizi | masterburner: the virtual screen size is both monitors combined.. programs running in wine I don't think can tell the "sub" resolution of each monitor so it uses the virtual screen size.. maybe turn one monitor off. | 19:48 |

| claude23 | I hit escape, and it gave me that message, and when I hit okay, It came up with a command prompt | 19:48 |

| ubnuntu_giant | Hello, I'm stuck on configuring my fan. I know I need to edit the /etc/fancontrol file (which doesn't exist). The fan is turned on all the time. I think mainly I'm just trying to find what device is the fan and control it. Any help? Thanks in advance. | 19:50 |
| scunizi | masterburner: do you run an nvidia card? | 19:50 |
| dancek | Soyo, it's in the universe repository | 19:50 |
| masterburner | scunizi: yes, I do | 19:50 |
| Soyo | dancek, thanks | 19:50 |
| chamuscas | console shows me to much text. Is there a command to show that text piece by piece ? | 19:50 |
| dancek | chamuscas, less | 19:51 |
| moetunes | chamuscas: pipe it through less | 19:51 |
| phlak_user | chamuscas: pipe it to less | 19:51 |
| moetunes | heh | 19:51 |
| chamuscas | dancek, tank you | 19:51 |
| scunizi | masterburner: if you're using the nvidia drivers then nvidia-settings should allow you to enable xinerama.. it eliminates twinview.. there's plusses and minus's to both | 19:51 |
| phlak_user | oops | 19:51 |
| dancek | chamuscas, for example 'find . | less' | 19:51 |
| chamuscas | moetunes, tank you | 19:51 |
| chamuscas | phlak_user, tank you | 19:51 |
| sannn | how can I see which dirs are checked for a certain lib? | 19:51 |
| phlak_user | sannn: ldd program-name | 19:51 |
| a3ist | carneades, yes that could definitely be the problem. Here's how mine is generated automatically on my ubuntu box: http://pastebin.com/xVqrvw10 | 19:52 |
| sannn | phlak_user: that shows the libs loaded but not the ldd search dirs | 19:52 |
| masterburner | scunizi: allright, I'll see if I can cook up a script that switches between modes automatically... thanks for your help | 19:52 |
| chamuscas | dancek, i want to see "alien" commands. Is "less alien"? ( I already know it is not =/) | 19:52 |
| phlak_user | sannn: ld.so.conf | 19:53 |
| MACscr | can i search for packages with apt-get? I didnt see the option in help | 19:53 |
| scunizi | masterburner: easy enough using nvidia-settings to switch between them. | 19:53 |
| moetunes | chamuscas: try alien | less | 19:53 |
| phlak_user | sannn: in /etc | 19:53 |
| masterburner | chamuscas: alian | less is the correct way to pipe command output | 19:53 |
| phlak_user | MACscr: sudo apt-cache search package-name | 19:53 |
| alexandr | f | 19:53 |
| chamuscas | moetunes, just a moment .... yes it work but how do i drive that thing :S | 19:54 |
| chamuscas | masterburner, tank you | 19:54 |
| a3ist | carneades the problem is that if you have two lines in the hosts file that start with the same IP, the last entry will overwrite the ones that come before it. If you want both "localhost" and "[computer name]" to point to 127.0.0.1, you'd put them on the same line seperated by spaces. That's how you set multiple aliases for an entry. | 19:54 |
| moetunes | chamuscas: use the down button and q to quit | 19:54 |
| awaad | Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04 is very slow with me, Any one can tell me what to do to solve this problem, please ? | 19:54 |
| shane2peru | when I go to menu, system -> prefrences, the menu goes off the screen when I try to scroll to what I want, as soon as I go off the scroll bar, it snaps back to the beginning, making it impossible to select the option I want, any ideas? | 19:55 |
| oodavid | awaad: install Chromium ;-) | 19:55 |
| a3ist | carneades, for example, when I was setting up arch linux on my laptop and wasn't getting DNS resolution but I could connect to IP's, I added this to my hosts file on my laptop: "66.211.214.131archlinuxarchlinux.orgwww.archlinux.org wiki.archlinux.orgbugs.hostlinux.org" | 19:55 |
| carneades | a3ist: now that i look at my backup, that's how it was, i typed it wrong in pastebin since that computer has no internet. but i tried adding the name server to resolv.conf. how can i restart networking without restarting the computer? | 19:55 |
| sannn | phlak_user: Do I need to update something when I installed new libs in a folder listed /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf | 19:55 |
| acicula | sannn, ld.so.conf | 19:55 |
| Cptnodegard | cam you boot from a logical partition? | 19:55 |
| masterburner | awaad: what is slow, exactly? is it the page loading? or does rendering a page takes a long time? flash could also cause problems on some hardware... try a different flash player addon | 19:55 |
| awaad | oodavid: I like FireFox more | 19:55 |
| Pr0ject-Rec0n | Hey all - I'm new to Wine - Can I use windows programs that I've already installed in my windows partition using Wine (in Ubuntu) ? Or should I again install the executable? | 19:56 |
| chamuscas | moetunes, ouch that realy doesn't work well. Down key the text is the same, upper key shows me a bunch of this "~" things, one in each line. Then i can't get back to the original text :S | 19:56 |
| acicula | Cptnodegard, yes | 19:56 |
| awaad | masterburner: When I click its icon to open it, it takes a minute to start | 19:56 |
| ryaxnb | Hey, I like dell | 19:56 |
| carneades | a3ist: i can't connect to IPs either. ifconfig doesn't even show an ip address | 19:56 |
| awaad | masterburner: While I am browsing it stops a lot | 19:56 |
| a3ist | carneades, you should be able to restart the NetworkManager service; "sudo service network-manager restart" | 19:56 |
| acicula | Pr0ject-Rec0n, sometimes that works, winehq has a list of applications that work and/or a guide on how to get it to work | 19:56 |
| phlak_user | sannn: yes you need to run ldconfig | 19:57 |
| kamileon | hi all, im new tp ubuntu and just installed ver 10 on my laptop, so any suggestions on what programs to use for general use | 19:57 |
| masterburner | pr0ject-rec0n: yes, you can run the programs directly from your windows installation, but be carefull: some programs might not work 100% with wine, wich might cause these programs to mess things up. It would be safer to copy the whole program folder and run that | 19:57 |
| sannn | phlak_user: thanks! | 19:57 |
| Pr0ject-Rec0n | acicula, link please ... | 19:57 |
| a3ist | carneades, or "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart", but ubuntu/debian seems to be deprecating that approach to restarting init-based services. | 19:57 |
| netech_ | kamileon: general use for doing what? | 19:57 |
| MACscr | phlak_user: thanks | 19:57 |
| acicula | Pr0ject-Rec0n, http://www.google.com/search?q=winehq | 19:58 |
| kamileon | well i was thinking of using it instead of windows as my primary os | 19:58 |
| netech_ | kamileon: uh huh, but what tasks do you plan to perform? "general use" is a rather vague description | 19:59 |
| doulos | Do any of you guys find that the UI design of Lucid makes some things very difficult to see, because of the color choices? For example see this screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/913175/this_ui_design_well_dot_dot_dot.png | 19:59 |
| netech_ | video editing? image manipulation? surfing the web? etc. | 19:59 |
| arand | shane2peru: As a temorary workaround, use keyboard to navigate. | 20:00 |
| doulos | netech_: how about just selecting menu options, and seeing window controls | 20:00 |
| masterburner | I'm having major problems with flash animations in Firefox. For example: I can't click any of the control buttons on youtube video's. When I rightclick the flash video and THEN double-click the button, it does work... any way to fix this? | 20:00 |
| netech_ | 10.04 already has a lot of applications installed by default to get you running | 20:00 |

| carneades | doulos: yes, skype is unusable | 20:00 |
| netech_ | doulos: I was speaking to kamileon; sorry. | 20:00 |
| kamileon | netech: well i so some dev work for android like themeing and what not | 20:00 |

| cybrocop | I all, I wonder if someone can help me with a virt related question.. #ubuntu-virt is very quiet. I've posted my question 2 times there already and besides people leaving and going and posting questions, no one is answering. | 20:01 |

| Guest85790 | hi, I see that the file sshd_config has ListenAddress commented. I want to be able to connect to my machine from other places other than at home, should I copy the ip address outputed by iconfig in ListenAdrres to be able to do that? | 20:01 |
| cybrocop | I persistently get this on one computer, after doing a clean install. I checked that VT support is enabled in the bios. Any clues as to what may be causing this: | 20:01 |

| carneades | doulos: yeah, preferences --> appearance | 20:01 |

| Andorin | If I have a 100 KB/s download cap on Transmission, why does System Monitor report that I'm downloading at my maximum speed? Nothing else should be downloading, and when I quit Transmission, the graph shows continued maximum downloading for a minute, then it crashes to 0. | 20:03 |

| Andorin | blime: So? System Monitor is set to report in KB/s, not Kb/s | 20:04 |
| a3ist | carneades, it is possible that its a network issue. The immediate issue is that the upstream DHCP server isn't leasing you an IP for that interface. | 20:04 |

| Andorin | Daekdroom: Here's the thing. My max speed atm is roughly 600 KB/s. | 20:05 |
| carneades | a3ist: maybe. the only reason i can't totally get behind it is that i don't understand why networkmanager won't even show me the setting to click on. in the past, before i set up the manual IP settings, i'm able to see and click on eth0, it just never successfully gets an address | 20:05 |

| Linex | if I want to use a whole drive as one volume, do I still need make one partition using the whole disk space ? | 20:16 |

| scunizi | Linex: ubuntu will need 2 partitions at minimum.. root and /swap.. I recommend 3 partitions.. root @ 10-15 gigs... /swap @ 2 gig and the rest /home where your data lives | 20:17 |
| a3ist | carneades, the normal process for network manager involves starting dhclient to manage the lease for the interface, which apparently isn't happening. That at least gives us a place to look. | 20:17 |

| karelstraam1 | do you use gdm? | 20:42 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | U571, ubuntu machine has valid ip address. | 20:43 |
| under | karelstraam1, gnome? yes | 20:43 |
| under | now yes | 20:43 |
| karelstraam1 | there should be the option to choose which enviroment (or window manager) you wanna you right at the login screen | 20:44 |
| karelstraam1 | as far as i know | 20:44 |
| U571 | T3CHKOMMIE : In DHCP can use see the ip address of the Ubuntu machine. | 20:44 |
| under | karelstraam1, sure, but for default starts kde, in the login i choose gnome | 20:44 |
| T3CHKOMMIE | U571, yes machine name has .local on it as well... i wonder if it is already on AD | 20:45 |

| acicula | scunizi, doing some manual packages or installing them doesnt have to be difficult or time consuming as long as you remember that outside the package manager you have to track dependencies yourself | 21:42 |

| cousteau`irssi | (well, I also would if it were a laptop) | 21:44 |

| scunizi | keebod: if you need a new drive ask around and see if anyone has an old computer they don't use anymore.. lots of people have them. | 22:05 |
| Black_Phantom | Astyx, alright thanks mate | 22:05 |
| CaptainTrek | but scunizi, keebod just asked if a bluray drive was supported by 10.04 LTS | 22:05 |
| scunizi | CaptainTrek: and that is also off topic.. ##hardware | 22:05 |
| CaptainTrek | first step is to see if his mobo can handle it | 22:05 |
| CaptainTrek | xD | 22:05 |
| Black_Phantom | Is OpenJDK runtime the same as JRE ? | 22:05 |
| CaptainTrek | indeed | 22:05 |
| keebod | CaptainTrek: well things kept on changing. its a system i made myself. the oldest part i had was this dvd drive which died today. the mobo is one year old. the gfx card two years old. proccy 2yrs. and so on | 22:05 |
| arand | Black_Phantom: The sun java should be available from the canonical partners repository | 22:05 |
| CaptainTrek | keebod: mobo will handle a bluray drive, ask here though about if Ubuntu 10.04 LTS supports it. I dont use blueray drives | 22:06 |
| * CaptainTrek is on the phone now | 22:06 | |
| scunizi | arand: did they take it out of Main? | 22:06 |
| keebod | scunizi: my mobo is MSI P45 Platinum | 22:06 |
| besogon | Don't you find that keyring is absolutely useless thing? It's not work in way it had planed at all. E.g. I need 2 keeyring but evolution and Network manager use only one default keyring. And I have to keep zero password for it. | 22:06 |
| scunizi | keebod: you're fine | 22:06 |
| U571 | nathanhelp : As you are familiar with Thunderbird ; try it. | 22:06 |
| scunizi | keebod: not sure about blueray maybe ##harware can answer that one. | 22:07 |
| natsukao_ | hello one query | 22:07 |
| rocket16 | scunizi: Friend, thanks for the help. But unfortunately, Gnome panel nearly runs at zero speed on my System, :( I used metacity --replace command, but the gnome-panels aren't working, so I used "gnome-panel" command. Is there a direct command to close Gnome Shell and return to Main desktop? | 22:07 |
| natsukao_ | can canon dc 301 works with GNU/linux | 22:07 |
| jessid | hello friends. Some suggestion to make the brightness control work under Ubuntu 10.04? it used to work in previous versions.... Thanks!!! | 22:07 |
| nathanhelp | U571: Am I asking questions about security of email client, that really apply to the OS instead? | 22:07 |
| scunizi | rocket16: usually metacity --replace or compiz --replace | 22:07 |
| Black_Phantom | !java | 22:08 |
| ubottu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java products search for sun-java6 -packages from the !Multiverse repository (!partner repository in Lucid) | 22:08 |
| Black_Phantom | arand alright thanks | 22:08 |
| rocket16 | scunizi: Thanks, I tried metacity --replace, but seems like I need to reboot. Still, thanks, :) | 22:08 |
| keebod | offtopic? :| i'm pretty new to irc.. it took hours for me to figure out that there was something called pidgin :( | 22:08 |
| scunizi | rocket16: np.. | 22:08 |
| dominicdinada | Where is my default desktop config stored. Like theme ? compiz settings - I am looking for the .conf file | 22:08 |
| nathanhelp | U571: As in, I used thunderbird on win7. IT got hijacked. Is that likely to happen on thunderbird Ubuntu? | 22:08 |
| natsukao_ | can canon dc 301 works with GNU/linux ? | 22:08 |
| arand | scunizi: Black_Phantom: It was moved from multiverse to partner in lucid, as openjdk became the default version, it has never been in main afaik | 22:09 |
| scunizi | keebod: are you using pidgin? let me save you some time.. install xchat.. it's a better IRC client | 22:09 |
| dominicdinada | cannon dc 301 is that a printer? | 22:09 |
| scunizi | arand: thanks. | 22:09 |
| natsukao_ | no a camera | 22:09 |
| linxeh | sounds like a camera to me | 22:09 |
| keebod | scunizi: will it get installed with apt-get? or should i download a deb package off google? :| | 22:09 |
| nathanhelp | keebod: Or chatzilla plugin for firefox if you use that. | 22:09 |

| webPragmatist | oCean_: I gotcha… i guess i have to compile it myself | 22:37 |
| jasunto | weird | 22:38 |
| oCean_ | webPragmatist: most likely .. | 22:38 |
| jasunto | i always thought the unetbootin did it | 22:38 |
| corpse | jasunto: after i figured that out it has worked fine | 22:38 |

| jasunto | i also have macbook pro and that damn dd copy crap doesnt work either, maybe fat32 issue | 22:38 |
| keebod | jasunto: well.. i used the the same unetboot thing to make a bootable freedos usb some timew back to flash my bios in ubuntu | 22:38 |
| jasunto | anyone had luck with ubuntu built in usb creator? | 22:39 |
| CkhiKuzad | Inase_Moriyaku: you will need Banshee if you want to change the songs around, but it should | 22:39 |

| corpse | keebod: doesnt fat16 only support up to 16mb? | 22:40 |
| Inase_Moriyaku | Rhythmbox will do the job won't it? | 22:40 |

| vic20gmr | since i erased karmic, and did a CLEAN install of 10.04 lucid , everything seems not as smooth | 23:29 |
| U571 | king11 : Y why not? | 23:30 |
| DagonITT | how do I find out where an application is installed | 23:30 |
| redsherpa | Viking667: I did an apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client after doing corresponding removes to clear it out. | 23:30 |
| paranomos | you can start mysql manual not with an init script and pass it debug arguments so it will log all the details and what when wrong | 23:30 |
| DuvyDude | I put the command line in a terminal window and it popped up a window "Authorizations" | 23:30 |
| kop_ | redsherpa, eradicating every trace of mysql from the planet is my problem . | 23:30 |
| airtonix | DagonITT, dpkg -l | grep applicatonname | 23:30 |
| king11 | U571: y why not? what, I mean I first got vmware because i remember someone telling me it is better for running windows virtually | 23:31 |
| redsherpa | Isn't there some kind of apt-get remove eradicate thing? like clean? | 23:31 |
| kop_ | redsherpa, trouble is I have no idea what to use for an alternative | 23:31 |
| redsherpa | I tried moving the stuff over in var | 23:31 |
| airtonix | DagonITT, or look at the details of the applicationname in synaptic package manager | 23:31 |
| === mewshi is now known as LuciferSam | ||
| paranomos | redsherpa, if you dont have information you can do apt-get --purge remove mysql-server | 23:31 |
| vic20gmr | ive used vmware a little in windows | 23:31 |
| * jack_boss notices himself | 23:31 | |
| vic20gmr | i dont hav windows running on this comp anymore :D | 23:31 |

| === thibow is now known as thb|Ou7 | ||
| redsherpa | paranomos: Okay, I'll do that. | 23:31 |
| vic20gmr | but ive installed winxp under virtualbox, and it worked great | 23:32 |
| U571 | king11 : Virtual Box is better than VMware (its free) & its faster..try it. | 23:32 |
| paranomos | redsherpa, also if there are any config file in /etc/mysql remove the whole folder.Finally install mysql-server again and lets hope it works | 23:32 |
| brah- | lol it is not better... and you get what you pay for | 23:32 |
| vic20gmr | and it ran faster [it seemed to anyway] under virtualbox, than it did wen i ran it under vpc | 23:32 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| kop_ | vic20gmr, VirtualBox on Ubuntu is wort a look I have a 9.10 host with 7 different guests running from perfect to almost | 23:32 |
| king11 | vic20gmr: the thing is i hate windows but the whole world except for a select few (us) run on windows and i just need vware to virtualize windows so i can get itunes | 23:32 |
| airtonix | king11, if you're wanting a gui to convert real partitions into virtual-hardrive images, then virtualbox wont provide that... it only does this via cli | 23:33 |
| vic20gmr | i dont care , personally, which is "better", the question is, "duz it do wut u need it to?" | 23:33 |
| karim_ | hi | 23:33 |
| king11 | airtonix: does this via cli, what is cli | 23:33 |
| karim_ | is there a way to copy a video on the iphone ? | 23:33 |
| airtonix | king11, Command Line Interface | 23:33 |
| vic20gmr | 'wifi | 23:33 |
| jack_boss | some know what i have to do to set up a kernel module build environment to install ati propritery driver | 23:33 |
| king11 | vic20gmr: all i need it to do is virtualize windows 7 | 23:33 |
| judget | ey man where can i get a ubuntu studio 10.4 iso ? | 23:33 |
| vic20gmr | comp<->wifi<->iphone [i think] | 23:34 |
| airtonix | !who | vic20gmr | 23:34 |
| ubottu | vic20gmr: 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 :) | 23:34 |
| jack_boss | ive used module-assitant ... i think but cant rember exactly | 23:34 |
| king11 | airtonix: so basically i would have to learn all the commands to tell it to make a virutal machine of windows 7 | 23:34 |
| === LuciferSam is now known as mewshi | ||
| vic20gmr | ubottu: ya, thx for reminder ;) | 23:34 |

| airtonix | king11, no. | 23:35 |
| vic20gmr | o brthr | 23:35 |
| paranomos | Anyone know why wifi connection on my laptop drops very often in ubuntu 10.04.Is that a common issue? | 23:35 |
| vic20gmr | jack_boss: do u think prop driver will make video perf bettr? | 23:35 |
| DuvyDude | U571, I used the command you gave me, but all it did was open a window called "Authorizations" | 23:35 |
| dipu | paranomous .. goto network manager and uncheck all other interfaces "auto-connect" box | 23:35 |
| king11 | airtonix: well then it is practically the same as vmware | 23:36 |
| redsherpa | I get this now: # mysql -u root | 23:36 |
| redsherpa | ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) | 23:36 |
| airtonix | king11, it does most thing by gui. but if you want gui for virtualising real hardrives then it wont do it via gui. and if you want to use usb devices you'll need to use the non ose deb from their site. | 23:36 |
| vic20gmr | paranomos: do ur list of avail wifi ap's disapear from list as well? | 23:36 |
| paranomos | vic20gmr, nope | 23:36 |
| U571 | judget : http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/beta1 | 23:36 |
| vic20gmr | paranomos: mine do, im in a place where i usually see many avail | 23:36 |
| king11 | airtonix: see that is what i need though, ouch that hurt, i was all excited to go and try virtualbox | 23:36 |
| theacolyte | so im trying to install 10.04 and my desktop is sitting at the loading screen. animation is going.... cd is accessing... and it has been 15 minutes | 23:37 |
| airtonix | king11, then grab the deb from their site and install that | 23:37 |
| paranomos | vic20gmr, and also if i press reconnect it doesnt connect.sometimes i have to restart the whole pc | 23:37 |
| vic20gmr | king11: try virtualbox | 23:37 |
| theacolyte | any ideeas) | 23:37 |
| vic20gmr | paranomos: i do too, to get the wifi aps relisted | 23:37 |
| vic20gmr | idk wut to do ab it | 23:37 |
| paranomos | vic20gmr, what laptop? | 23:37 |
| vic20gmr | paranomos: im on desktop with usb wifi adapt | 23:38 |
| vic20gmr | hehe | 23:38 |
| king11 | airtonix: oh I can just do it like that, perfect and in terms of virtualizing, it won't be a real hard drive | 23:38 |

| === hassan is now known as Guest15141 | ||
| Guest15141 | hi | 23:42 |
| redsherpa | This is just laughable. I see a job "start mysql" in memory, so I try stopping it. The service mysql stop freezes the terminal, so I cancel it, but the thing is no longer in memory, and I now cannot reverse it...and nothing gets written to the /var/log/mysql area. | 23:42 |
| Agu10 | redsherpa: reboot maybe? | 23:43 |
| vic20gmr | ive noticed that vide performance of urban terror [and others] isnt silky smooth like it was in karmic, any ideas? | 23:43 |
| vic20gmr | video* | 23:44 |
| redsherpa | Agu10: Not an option. | 23:44 |

| === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr[lucid] | ||
| redsherpa | It appears use of start leaves a job in memory that cannot be seen with ps...???? | 23:47 |
| vic20gmr[lucid] | bbl | 23:47 |
| paranomos | redsherpa, maybe when you killed mysql a pid file was left and not problems arises | 23:47 |
| redsherpa | Okay, I'll kill the mentioned on and try again. Thanks. | 23:48 |
| redsherpa | Funny, I thought it used to be called mysqld. But I don't see that. BUT It is mentioning a mysqld.sock. What gives? | 23:49 |
| injekt | Has anyone had any issues with Empathy since the 10.04 upgrade? | 23:49 |
| Fujk | wow 10.04 is the worst release ever... I have spent 10 hours trying to install it on a computer from 2003 which should be supported. no wonder it is not getting more traction on the desktop market than it is. sigh. | 23:50 |
| Fujk | I guess I will just run winxp on that machine instead | 23:51 |
| J-Krasne | Oh no! Just Installed Ubuntu a few day ago one 2 pc's... One running Windows XP & Ubuntu 10.04, the other just Ubuntu. It said there was an upgrade so I installed it. The PC with both OS won't boot now. Help! | 23:51 |
| Monotoko | anyone know how i can get a Windows XP Virtual Machine (virtualbox) to recognise my Ex-HDD? Its in the "USB Devices" section, but its blanked out??? | 23:52 |
| Monotoko | (same with my webcam) | 23:52 |
| redsherpa | Doing an upgrade. Looks like there is mysql server stuff outstanding, so perhaps that will fix it. | 23:52 |
| Fujk | why do they make such a shitty release.. everything from not being able to read ATA drives, throwing errors on and after install. and when it finally is installed it wont boot. this is pathetic.. and yes, the disc / harddrive / cdrom is fine. | 23:52 |
| injekt | Fujk: Although not quite as angry as you (yet), I gotta agree. Had so much trouble with it | 23:53 |
| Monotoko | Fujk...your trying to install it on a computer from 2003? | 23:53 |
| Monotoko | 7 years ago? | 23:53 |

| Fujk | shazbotmcnasty: find me a replacement word | 23:54 |

| Nonpython | !language | Nonpython | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Nonpython, please see my private message | 23:54 |
| J-Krasne | Well, can anyone help me out? Don't have a clue... | 23:54 |
| shazbotmcnasty | how about you don't b**ch about a release in here | 23:54 |
| shazbotmcnasty | this isn't the place for that | 23:55 |
| Fujk | Monotoko: so what it should support older hardware | 23:55 |
| Fujk | shazbotmcnasty: where to bitch? | 23:55 |
| Monotoko | Fujk, Windows 7 doesnt | 23:55 |
| Monotoko | i can guarantee 7 would not run on that | 23:55 |
| shazbotmcnasty | Fujk, how about in a pm to ubottu | 23:55 |
| injekt | Monotoko: I totally agree. Although 'stable' means a lot, or should | 23:55 |
| Monotoko | injekt, Windows 7 is stable...doesnt mean itl run on a PC from 2003 | 23:55 |
| Fujk | Monotoko: I could probably get it running with win 7 but it would be a slow experience. | 23:55 |
| xpike | anyone know any websites for python tutorials | 23:56 |
| john_someguy | Helloo. My Fujitsu Siemens computer is running hot. How do I enable power management, cpu scaling, or speedstep.. or something to keep it cool | 23:56 |
| injekt | Monotoko: Yeah I know, I wasn't talking about that situation, just generally. Anyway, I'm not here to bitch. Just curious to see if anyone else has had issues with Empathy since the upgrade | 23:56 |
| joshuah | xpike: http://diveintopython.org/ and http://www.python.org/doc/ aren't bad | 23:56 |
| Fujk | the machine isnt bad, I have 3 gb ram, 2.0 ghz cpu, 500 gb hd, ide / ata etc. it's better than many computers you buy today that are not for gaming. | 23:56 |
| joshuah | xpike: also, ask in #python | 23:56 |
| Monotoko | Fujk, precisely...its an aging computer, originally it had an aging OS...it is not going to be able to run a brand new OS properly...the ubuntu team are far from perfect and are mostly volunteers | 23:57 |
| dlp211 | im running ubuntu 10.04 in Vbox, i need to know how to add resolutions so that i can get full screen working...any help? | 23:57 |
| joshuah | (they might have more info) | 23:57 |
| xpike | Ok thanks josh | 23:57 |
| joshuah | np ^^ | 23:57 |
| sebsebseb | hello Fujk sometimes other Linux distros work better on a computer than Ubuntu, but if your going to whine about a few things not just working, then just use Windows I guess | 23:57 |
| dancek | john_someguy, are you sure it's not just the way the computer is (i know many fujitsu-siemens laptops are really hot) | 23:57 |
| Fujk | sebsebseb: few things? haha you mean nothing is working | 23:57 |
| john_someguy | dancek: wait... | 23:58 |
| neti | paranomos i have found in the german opensuse forum that some access point are the problem ... ? ... ? sorry no more informations | 23:58 |
| Monotoko | anyone know how i can get a Windows XP Virtual Machine (virtualbox) to recognise my Ex-HDD? Its in the "USB Devices" section, but its blanked out??? | 23:58 |
| john_someguy | dancek: cpufrequtils-info gives: current CPU frequency is 800 MHz | 23:58 |
| Monotoko | iv installed the guest thingy | 23:58 |
| sebsebseb | Fujk: only just got back to my computer, and saw some of this, which things exactly? | 23:58 |
| Fujk | Monotoko: I guarantee I can get win 7 running on it | 23:58 |
| Fujk | sebsebseb: nothing works, cant install, boot | 23:58 |
| dancek | john_someguy, what cpu is it? | 23:59 |
| john_someguy | dancek: its a celeron 1.7ghz.. so i guess speedstep works? | 23:59 |
| paranomos | neti i dont think is the access point because ive been using the same laptop for 5 distributions till now.And this (10.04) is the only one that is having problems with wifi | 23:59 |
| MichRT | Hello everyone | 23:59 |
| dancek | john_someguy, so it seems | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | Fujk: from a CD you made yourself? | 23:59 |
| john_someguy | dancek: its so anoying, the fan runs at 100% most of the time. stops 10 secs. then goes again! driving me nuts. how about undervolt? | 23:59 |
| sebsebseb | !details | Fujk | 23:59 |
| ubottu | Fujk: 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 ..." | 23:59 |
