| zyrkan_ | pfifo, k. I was just looking to see if there was any live support | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Monotoko | Johnny_101, im on a differant PC | 00:00 |
| pfifo | zyrkan_, I bet #gimp could help tremendously | 00:00 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: who cares? it's UNIX... false or true... it's UNIX, for god's sake | 00:00 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: well okay then. so is there any reason at all I shouldn't go ahead and dualboot my iMac? | 00:00 |
| zyrkan_ | pfifo, thanks | 00:00 |
| === tech is now known as techspert | ||
| Barridus | how do i start crond and then set it so it always starts? | 00:00 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: hmmm... maybe there might be some software you might miss... apart from that... no, i highly encourage you to install it, in fact... it is an Intel Mac? | 00:01 |
| schlaftier | avi_: The installation is not totally straightforward, but I'd give it a try if you are not satisfied with OS X | 00:01 |
| unop | Beyecixramd, well, I disagree .. so I care | 00:01 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: not sure what to do, afaik that was the necessary procedure, assuming i got the iptables commands correct | 00:01 |
| AnxiousNut | how can i adjust laptop's screen colors, the colors differs from my desktop's! | 00:01 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: :) so is Linux a true UNIX? | 00:01 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: Yup. 2008 24'' imac. | 00:01 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, it works! itl ping by IP but not by domain | 00:01 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: I'm just curious, actually. | 00:01 |
| Johnny_101 | Monotoko : http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/protocolsdhcp/g/bldef_apipa.htm | 00:02 |
| fluffy_ | Beyecixramd: unix-like, not true UNIX though. | 00:02 |
| unop | Beyecixramd, off course not. no one's implying that. | 00:02 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: go ahead then. Good thing about Macs is that their software is very uniform, so you will have lots of chances of getting solutions to your problems with other mates using Ubuntu on their Macs | 00:02 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: ahh, you need to add dns entries to your non-wifi computer (use 208.67.222.222 =opendns) | 00:02 |
| schlaftier | avi_: Make backups and go dual-boot :) | 00:02 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: just asking, what about Minix? | 00:02 |
| sean___ | what channels are good here | 00:02 |
| MACscr | ok, i like how in putty on windows i could simply click on highlighted text in ssh and it would paste it toe the command line. Any possible way to do that in terminal? Im lazy and dont like to copy and paste all the time =P | 00:02 |
| myrl | myrl.selfip.com | 00:02 |
| schlaftier | avi_: Keep an internet connection on another computer in case you run into trouble...! | 00:02 |
| fluffy_ | MACscr: xterm does that by default iirc | 00:03 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, ahhh i see, can i make the connection permenant first though? | 00:03 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: That's great. Actually, I've been triple booting for about 4 months now. Been loving it. Just wanted to put my paranoia about the CPU thing aside. Cheers for the help mate! | 00:03 |
| * Monotoko does not want to lose the connection hes been trying to get to work for days | 00:03 | |
| avi_ | schlaftier: Actually, I've been triple booting for about 4 months now. Been loving it. Just wanted to put my paranoia about the CPU thing aside. Cheers for the help mate! | 00:03 |
| unop | Beyecixramd, that's a warped attempt at being unix-like :) | 00:03 |
| schlaftier | avi_: is the 3rd OS Windows? | 00:04 |
| Beyecixramd | no prob, avi_ :) i also was a little nervous about Linux the first time, expecting everything to work and such, it's quite common | 00:04 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: hopefully... to make the sysctl permenant edit /etc/sysctl.conf and uncomment net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 | 00:04 |
| zcat[1] | minix, lol.. | 00:04 |
| Beyecixramd | lol unop | 00:04 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: I did OSX then bootcamp win7, then rEFIt, then Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| Mixxit | onetinman: think i am sorted now buddy, installed jockey-gtk and have a hardware and drivers menu in my gnome system panel now - it told me i'm not using any drivers and is doing it's thing so fingers crossed! | 00:04 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: then you need to save your iptables setup, Does anyone know the best procedure for this? | 00:04 |
| schlaftier | avi_: just curious, did you get all the hardware running in Ubuntu? | 00:04 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: Ditto. But it's worth it!! | 00:04 |
| schlaftier | avi_: I have only rEFIt+Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: what about Mac OS X, BSD, and Linux. are they POSIX? | 00:05 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: or only true UNIXes are POSIX? | 00:05 |
| pfifo | eye-zak, I use a shell script to setup iptables, but there is a built in system for doing it as i remember, read the manual for iptables for more info | 00:05 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: one last thing. Don't ever dare to remove Mac OS X | 00:05 |
| fluffy_ | Beyecixramd: doesn't have to be UNIX to be POSIX compliant | 00:05 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: keep at least the minium space for Mac OS X in order to get firmware updates | 00:06 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo there is a known bug with network-manager and iptables | 00:06 |
| gartral | eye-zak: alright, since pulse is broken, and the pulse-docs are of absolutly no help. what alternatives do i have for what i want to do? | 00:06 |
| Beyecixramd | fluffy_: then they are? | 00:06 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: I've been trying all of the versions, 8.04-10.04. All of them failed mostly except for 10.04, which was absolutely phenominal. the free graphics drivers are perfect (fgrlx (ati drivers)) are UBER messed up on ubuntu for my box, there's three launch pad posts for it because the first two got full lol. So, yeah, everything but the remote, which i'm just too lazy to fix. | 00:06 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: run iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules to save your config | 00:06 |
| fluffy_ | Beyecixramd: generally if they have the usual core utils -- ls, cp, mv, etc -- its a fairly good bet it's POSIX | 00:07 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: I don't plan on it, but what firmware updates? I mean, its 2 years old already, do you really think there will be a firmware update> | 00:07 |
| schlaftier | avi_: Remote was easy for me (recognised out of the box, I just had to write scripts for the key actions). What about screen brightness? | 00:07 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: on that page there is info on how to edit /etc/network/interfaces to apply these rules automatically | 00:07 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, i get Permission denied when running it as sudo?? | 00:07 |
| Johnny_101 | michelle_ : Any luck? | 00:07 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: oh... in that case... well.... just don't do it. You might need it at some point, and it does not take a lot of space, unlike Windows :D | 00:08 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: I'm the reverse, LIRC recognizes it, but i just don't know how to configure the custom keys lol | 00:08 |
| unop | Beyecixramd, POSIX is (or has become) just a reference standard -- and different OSes/Vendors adhere to it in different degrees - even Microsoft windows to some degree. But yea, those examples fully support the POSIX standards. | 00:08 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: run sudo iptable-save | sudo tee /etc/iptables.rules | 00:08 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: afaik, Windows Vista / 7 has a POSIX subsystem, to run utilities designed for POSIX OSes | 00:08 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, completed, thank you :) | 00:08 |
| avi_ | eye-zak: Brightness was a nonissue. Oh, come to think of it, sound is awful with the inbuilt speakers.. Its the same in windows. Apple just wrote crap drivers.. External speakers are 100%. | 00:08 |
| Beyecixramd | unop: it's like a compatibility layer for POSIX (like Wine) | 00:08 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: your welcome | 00:09 |
| avi_ | Beyecixramd: tell me about it, windows is down to like 5GB and Ubuntu has like 50GB left.. 55GB partitions each lol | 00:09 |
| Beyecixramd | avi_: wow... that's.... im speechless... | 00:09 |
| compaq | Guys I love Ubuntu, I had lots of fun, but I regret to say, I have reverted to Debian. Why you ask? Well, Ubuntu wouldn't support compiz on my intel graphics card(it was blacklisted) but on debian it was not. | 00:10 |
| Chaorain | I'm trying to follow this but the second step gives me an error http://www.thoughtspark.org/node/10 | 00:10 |
| Chaorain | bash: !/bin/bash": event not found | 00:10 |
| Beyecixramd | compaq: use try Fedora, or unblacklist it :) | 00:10 |
| schlaftier | avi_: I have a very simple .lircrc calling irexec to control audio players and slideshows. If you are interested, I can give you a hand with that. For brightness, I had to use an ugly hack, though :) | 00:10 |
| Chaorain | Can someone tell me what this means? | 00:10 |
| soreau | compaq: That's probably because debian is using an older version of the intel driver | 00:10 |
| pfifo | compaq, Im sure you can install manually | 00:10 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: If you don't mind, could you perhaps point me in the right direc... excellent!! | 00:10 |
| onetinsoldier | compaq: did you ever have a look at this? --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes | 00:11 |
| unop | Beyecixramd, well, yea, it supports some of the POSIX base definitions and the system interfaces, so applications can take advantage of the POSIX API - but that's about it | 00:11 |
| pdtpatrick | @Chaorain -- u forgot to put the # infront of the ! | 00:11 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: I'm interested. Brightness was not an issue on any of the versions from hardy>lucid. ALl I need is for it to control rhythmbox, and maybe totem.. eye of gnome (or whatever the default imageviewer would be nice tho lol). How can I install it ? | 00:12 |
| greezmunkey | holy smokes, disabling ipv6 makes this thing rock :) | 00:12 |
| Opettaja | Anyone know if i need to do anything special to get ushare to work with an external hard drive? | 00:12 |
| unop | greezmunkey, only until the IPv4 space runs out -- then you're leaving yourself disadvantaged :) | 00:12 |
| compaq | onetinsoldier, oh, I never found that one | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | compaq: roger | 00:12 |
| sean___ | greetings ubuntu noobs | 00:13 |
| compaq | Beyecixramd, I couldn't unblacklist it, I even tried karmic cause it gives you the option to run some command that allows you to use blacklisted video cards, but it still didn't run | 00:13 |
| schlaftier | avi_: There are plugins for at least Rhythmbox, but I prefer to just use irexec which can run any program upon a remote control key press. So make sure you have that installed and running | 00:13 |
| greezmunkey | unop: I think I have a while befor I have to worry about that, just don't go assigning an IP address to your toaster, o.k :) | 00:13 |
| Beyecixramd | compaq: weird... | 00:13 |
| avi_ | schlaftier: Hold on, i'm in OSX now. can you wait 1.5 minutes for me to reboot to ubuntu? | 00:14 |
| schlaftier | avi_: sure | 00:14 |
| sean___ | can you install ubuntu on a mac | 00:14 |
| gartral | i got a realtek HDA audio card, multiple spreakers and a headphone jack. how do i route stero audio through something OTHER that the green jack in the back of my computer | 00:14 |
| sean___ | wait no | 00:14 |
| schlaftier | sean___: yes you can | 00:14 |
| gartral | sean___: depends on if it's a ppc mac or intel mac | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: hi. you'r internet bandwith a lot faster or something with ipv6 disabled? | 00:14 |
| sean___ | can you run ubuntu livecd on a mac? | 00:14 |
| Chaorain | pdtpatrick: I tried it again and it had the # but same error | 00:15 |
| gartral | schlaftier: ubuntu no longer officialy supports ppc macs | 00:15 |
| Flannel | !ppc | 00:15 |
| ubottu | PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 00:15 |
| gartral | sean___: as long as it's an intel mac | 00:15 |
| eye-zak | gartral: two sets of stereo speakers, or something else ? | 00:15 |
| Johnny_101 | sean___ : why don't you give a try..its not going to harm anything..! | 00:15 |
| schlaftier | gartral: as time goes by :( | 00:15 |
| fluffy_ | if you find yourself on a PPC mac, debian has a PPC port. | 00:15 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: yeah, I think so - I just started testing. Bandwidth may be about the same, but the "responsiveness" has improved considerably. | 00:15 |
| sean___ | how do you boot into the livecd | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: ahh, roger | 00:15 |
| gbear14275 | vlt: I apologize for disappearing... are you still lurking? | 00:15 |
| vlt | !ask | gbear14275 | 00:16 |
| ubottu | gbear14275: 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. :-) | 00:16 |
| gartral | eye-zak: stero speakers all over my house.. i want the same audio accross all 6 sets. and my headphones.. though i cant get any headway cause pulse is a confusing, unstable, unintuitive system | 00:16 |
| corin_ | "It is recommended that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored." | 00:16 |
| corin_ | ^ Is there any way to disable that message so that keys with bad permissions work fine? | 00:16 |
| Flannel | sean___: Depending on which mac you've got, you need to push something during boot (with the CD in), delete, f10, etc | 00:17 |
| Johnny_101 | sean___ : Live CD..no need to install on the HDD. | 00:17 |
| gartral | sean___: put the cd in the drive and reboot while holding command+c | 00:17 |
| fluffy_ | Flannel: that would be the c key :) | 00:17 |
| onetinsoldier | anyone need help getting any mouse x-cursor theme installed from a .tar.gz? i can help... :-) | 00:17 |
| eye-zak | gartral: 6 sets, how many stereo-out pairs (not including headphones) do you want | 00:17 |
| pokeh | Okay, I'm back! Thanks for waiting mate. | 00:17 |
| gartral | eye-zak: 7 | 00:17 |
| gartral | oh, 6 | 00:17 |
| sean___ | dude ubuntu doesnt work well with mac | 00:18 |
| gartral | someone ban the mac troll | 00:18 |
| pokeh | sean___: works fantastic with my mac lol | 00:18 |
| macman_ | lol | 00:18 |
| gartral | pokeh: ignore sean___ he's being a troll | 00:18 |
| eye-zak | gartral: i'm confused, u have a sound card with 14 stereo outputs ? | 00:18 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: i dropped connection. can you tell me how disabling ipv6 made a difference and which line in /etc/default/grub did you add it to? | 00:18 |
| pokeh | gartral: Are we discouraged from feeding them :P | 00:19 |
| vlt | gartral: (Haven't read your initial question but) you could just use a decent audio mixer and wire your speakers. | 00:19 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Hey! | 00:19 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: hey, are you the one with the Apple Remote? | 00:20 |
| eye-zak | gartral: pulseaudio can do stereo-duplex from SoundPreferences->Hardware tab (for more than duplex you need to edit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf for yourself) | 00:20 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Ah, i forgot I had different names. Yup, that's me! | 00:20 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, sorry what does my gateway want to be again? | 00:20 |
| Monotoko | (on the non-wifi) | 00:21 |
| michelle_ | how do i get permission to access dvdrom i do not have /etc/fstab/ file | 00:21 |
| gartral | eye-zak: no, it has 6 audio routes that arent locked to any state (each one is technically a quadraphonic passthrough) in windows, all i have to do is click a toggle and the input selected becomes an output. same with the other way. all i want is 6 outputs, and one input. all outputs following the SAME stero stream | 00:21 |
| eye-zak | Monotoko: on the non-wifi pc, your gateway is the ip of the wifi pc on the private network, 192.168.2.1 | 00:21 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: In testing, especially mail, web browsing, like establishing new connections goes noticably quicker - throughput is about the same, but connections are indeed snappier. in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1" | 00:21 |
| unop | bastid_raZor, Dual-stack hosts must attempt connectivity over IPv6 before falling back on IPv6. So when you browse a website for example, an attempt is made to lookup the domain name for IPv6 first - and since most sites and carriers don't support it, that can mean a slowdown for you, the end-user. | 00:21 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: first thing you should do is run "irw" in the terminal and press the keys on your remote to find the key names, they might be different | 00:21 |
| Monotoko | eye-zak, thank you again :) il add it to the interfaces file on the PC so it sticks... | 00:21 |
| gartral | vlt: that would work if i had money for a mixer, and the extra wires | 00:22 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Okay, it recognizes them! | 00:22 |
| eye-zak | gartral: ok, i haven't played with a card like that, but pulseaudio's daemon.conf can set the number of channels, and do channel mapping/duplication but i can't tell you exactly what to put in there | 00:22 |
| monjaraz | hi every | 00:22 |
| adam2508 | whats up guys | 00:22 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Pretty standard, FORWARD, ACTION, MENU, PLAY | 00:22 |
| sean___ | whats up adam | 00:23 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: I have the newer aluminum one. | 00:23 |
| gartral | eye-zak: right.. what _alternatives_ do i have that offer a user-intuitive interface | 00:23 |
| eye-zak | gartral: the SoundPreferences way has ubuntu pre-made setups that are common, your's is uncommon so unfortunately it's not there yet | 00:23 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: different from mine so you will have to replace the button names but you get the idea :) | 00:23 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: I already disabled ipv6 in firefox, but noticed that it was always present for other processes. I decided to put the kabosh on it. | 00:23 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: unop good information. i actually use dnsmasq to cache dns' and i noticed that has given a faster response to previously visited sites. | 00:23 |
| adam2508 | its been a while since i havent been in a irc | 00:23 |
| eye-zak | gartral: there really is no GUI for this, pulseaudio is pre 1.0 unfortunately | 00:23 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: now let's do a quick example: volume control | 00:23 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: absolutely, having a caching nameserver present helps. | 00:24 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: i am going to try your method as well. dinner time then i'll get back to you on my results. | 00:24 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: edit the file .lircrc in your home directory and put this into it: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FmQ8x15Y | 00:24 |
| gartral | eye-zak: what ALTERNATIVES do i have to pulseaudio then! | 00:24 |
| sean___ | alsa | 00:24 |
| jmcantrell | anyone here use an Asus ULxxVT? | 00:25 |
| eye-zak | gartral: none, unfortunately, alsa is just removing pulseaudio | 00:25 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: (replace the button names if necessary) | 00:25 |
| elvis45261 | ubuntu is less nice than gentoo | 00:25 |
| sean___ | sure is | 00:25 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: just one thing, I used the "start up manager" program to edit grub2 - it put the same commands into two differant lines in /etc/default/grub - I asked in here for help, than decided on the edit I pasted here. It works well | 00:25 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: save the file, then run "irexec -d" in the terminal and you should be able to adjust volume with the remote | 00:25 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : why :) | 00:25 |
| Chaorain | hey for some reason my comp always start with Compiz. How can I change this to Metacity? | 00:25 |
| pfifo | !offtopic > elvis | 00:26 |
| gartral | eye-zak: what your telling me is: the only sound core in linux is pulse audio. how is that possible in an opensource environment | 00:26 |
| pfifo | !offtopic > elvis45261 | 00:26 |
| ubottu | elvis45261, please see my private message | 00:26 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: I don't see a .lircrc file in my home directory | 00:26 |
| soreau | Chaorain: sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects>none | 00:26 |
| eye-zak | gartral: there is alsa, oss(not supported in ubuntu), pulseaudio and jack | 00:26 |
| elvis45261 | eye-zak: Is oss good ? | 00:26 |
| sean___ | which is the best | 00:26 |
| jmcantrell | Johnny_101: i'm trying to get the graphics card to work. is the graphics switching capabilities supported? | 00:26 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: It's probably hidden or not yet there, you might need to create it | 00:26 |
| Chaorain | soreau: thanks | 00:27 |
| eye-zak | elvis45261: oss has been redone since the old (read bad) version and it works, as much as alsa works | 00:27 |

| gartral | eye-zak: and which of those would allow me to do what i want? im very sick and tired of hitting walls in ubuntu, an "open environment" that just arent there in windows. why is it impossible to reach an end result in ubuntu that takes less that 5 minutes in windows | 00:29 |

| ubottu | gartral: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel | 00:32 |
| sean___ | haha owned. | 00:32 |
| Andorin | ... | 00:32 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: which fs? | 00:32 |
| bazhang | sean___, and gartral stop it now | 00:32 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: Actually, it's not so easy, but it can be achieved using "notify-send". Try in the terminal for a quick test: notify-send Volume -i notification-audio-volume-high -h int:value:80 -h string:synchronous: | 00:32 |
| gartral | bazhang: sean___ started by asking the question "does ubuntu work on mac" 3 times and getting an answer too each | 00:33 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Wish I could tell you. My idiot friend is complaining about Ubuntu, saying it wouldn't mount his flash drive. I don't believe he wants the problem solved; I just wonder whether he's BSing me. But apparently the drive works in Windows, so I'd guess FAT or ntfs. | 00:33 |
| allterspace | yah they removed keyring from preferences thanks any ways. | 00:33 |
| jedc | Hi, I just installed lucid and my laptop speakers don't mute when I plug in my head-phones. I checked alsamixer but it only shows master and pcm controls. Any ideas? | 00:33 |
| jmcantrell | anyone here use an Asus ULxxVT? | 00:33 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: if that shows a bubble, you have the tools you need | 00:33 |
| bazhang | jmcantrell, please ask a more specific question if you wish help | 00:34 |
| Bigshot | how to know my computers name? | 00:34 |
| Bigshot | for synergy? | 00:34 |
| jmcantrell | anyone here use an Asus ULxxVT and know how to get the nvidia card to work? | 00:34 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: hmm. if it's not automounting on a default ubuntu setup -- and I'm assuming he's coming from Windows -- then something's probably messed with the filesystem. Has he tried mounting it manually? (as in mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX /media/X) | 00:35 |
| === usuario-master is now known as matalache | ||
| bazhang | jmcantrell, check system administration hardware drivers | 00:35 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: you could then use a script like this http://pastebin.com/zcmMc8i8 and bind the keys to that instead of directly calling amixer | 00:35 |
| fluffy_ | Bigshot: hostname (in terminal) | 00:35 |
| PurpleJesus | since I upgraded to 10.4 my mouse likes to freeze. doing a modprobe -r psmouse then a modprobe psmouse fixes it 80% of the time. Is there a permanent fix? | 00:35 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: He hasn't, he's a noob to Ubuntu. But he's booting into it now. | 00:35 |
| bread | tell him to install gnome-mount for his flash drive problems | 00:35 |
| sabat | I am attempting to setup a JBOD raid on 4 500gb hd's. I installed lvm2, but not really sure how to begin and not finding any howto that is simple, anyone able to point me or tell me how to get this going? | 00:35 |
| topo_ | Anyone knows how to enable file sharing with xp in Lucid lynx? | 00:35 |
| jmcantrell | bazhang: i've installed the recommended proprietary drivers, but it just boots to black. | 00:35 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: after using start-up manager.. which lines did it edit? or does start-up manager even edit but apply them from somewhere else? | 00:36 |
| bazhang | jmcantrell, how many choices are there | 00:36 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: look into samba (google is your friend) | 00:36 |
| eye-zak | topo_: properties on your folder, then sharing | 00:36 |
| jmcantrell | bazhang: i don't know anymore. i can't boot | 00:36 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: or, maybe easier, use "xte" to fake the keyboard volume keys (they should trigger the notification bubble) | 00:36 |
| bazhang | jmcantrell, boot in low graphics mode and check | 00:36 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Yup, i had to install libnotify-bin, but it works! | 00:36 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: it's now more a matter of shell scripting | 00:36 |
| jmcantrell | bazhang: how do i do that? | 00:37 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : Visual Effects is set to which mode? | 00:37 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: So, how do reccomend I proceed? | 00:37 |
| jmcantrell | Johnny_101: the default | 00:37 |
| bazhang | jmcantrell, what version of ubuntu? try holding shift key as it starts up and enter recovery mode | 00:37 |
| topo_ | fluffy_: yeah i looked, maybe i should be more specific. when i click in all networks the only machine that shows is my ubuntu machine | 00:38 |
| jmcantrell | bazhang: tried that. it never goes to grub menu | 00:38 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: about the notification bubbles or other buttons? | 00:38 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: is it a new xp install? | 00:38 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Both :D | 00:38 |
| bazhang | jmcantrell, is this a dual boot | 00:38 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: I think that using the xte thing will be best, because I don't use those volume button keys for anything else. | 00:38 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : Try normal ; with auto load driver.. | 00:39 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Plus ubuntu recognises them. | 00:39 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: Do they trigger the notification bubbles? | 00:39 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Yes. | 00:39 |
| Bigshot | hello feckers :)) | 00:39 |
| Bigshot | oops | 00:39 |
| jedc | My laptop speakers won't mute when headphones are plugged in and I can't find controls to mute them manually without also muting the headphones. This is on a fresh 10.04 install? | 00:39 |
| Bigshot | nvm | 00:39 |
| topo_ | nope its the same configuration i had, when i was running 9.04 and every thing worked | 00:39 |
| skypce | hi i am looking for a easy guide to compile kernel in ubuntu 10.04 ? thank s | 00:39 |
| acicula | !kernel | 00:39 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:39 |
| jmcantrell | bazhang: no dual boot | 00:39 |
| compaq | Actually, the intel drivers do not work so good with compiz. Its unusable on debian too | 00:39 |
| bazhang | !compile > skypce | 00:39 |
| ubottu | skypce, please see my private message | 00:39 |
| gartral | how do i split a command from the terminal it orginated from and make it a daemon? | 00:39 |
| sabat | I am attempting to setup a JBOD raid on 4 500gb hd's. I installed lvm2, but not really sure how to begin and not finding any howto that is simple, anyone able to point me or tell me how to get this going? | 00:40 |
| jmcantrell | Johnny_101: it is on normal, but i can't boot anyway | 00:40 |
| topo_ | fluffy_:nope its the same configuration i had, when i was running 9.04 and every thing worked | 00:40 |
| skypce | thank you | 00:40 |
| nighmi | evening, I've got a problem with some applications using a GtkFileChooser, e.g. gpicview, on a Ubuntu 64bit system - and I've been discussing this in the gtk+ IRC channel for a couple of hours now, and I'd like to know whether this is reproducable on a Ubuntu 64bit system: When I open gpicview and clicke the file-open-button, I click my home folder (in the "places" thingy) in the upcoming dialog, then I single-click the topmost directory in my h | 00:40 |
| nighmi | ome folder and then I start typing, e.g "abc" in order to quickly get to directory "abcdef" and I close the dialog (either by opening a file or by canceling), then I will press a random key while the main window is active, the program will crash with a segfault | 00:40 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: this should do the trick: xte 'key XF86AudioRaiseVolume' | 00:40 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: i too agree that the speed up is very noticable. | 00:40 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : After Normal ; you can't boot into the login screen! | 00:40 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: does /var/log/samba/samba.log suggest any problems? | 00:41 |
| vlt | sabat: I'd favor using md instead of lvm for raid | 00:41 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: put this into the .lircrc (the other is XF86AudioLowerVolume) | 00:41 |
| sabat | vlt: I don | 00:41 |
| sabat | vlt: I don't know the difference, and really don't care too much what I use, I don't need redundancy or speed, just a large disk. | 00:41 |
| topo_ | fluffy_: how do i check that? | 00:42 |
| gogeta | hey guys will the live cd work with 192 mb of ram | 00:42 |
| jmcantrell | Johnny_101: i can't boot to login screen, correct, but i don't think it has anything to do with my graphics setting | 00:42 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: you probably have to restart irexec after editing the .lircrc (and at some point you should add it to your session startup items) | 00:42 |
| limikael | how can I change what dmask a usb disk gets mounted with? | 00:42 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: He's on Ubuntu, I'm having him run a manual mounting | 00:42 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: So where exactly do i put that in the lircrc file? | 00:42 |
| jjnorth | Wondering if anyone here has experience fixing GRUB. | 00:42 |
| vlt | sabat: Just a large "disk" aka block device? Then go for lvm | 00:42 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: open up your /var/log/samba/samba.log in something like gedit | 00:42 |
| ikonia | just ask the real question | 00:42 |
| vlt | sabat: It's easy | 00:42 |
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: heh, I jsut caught that, great :) | 00:42 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : Yes ; its the graphics.. | 00:42 |
| Andorin | !grub | jjnorth | 00:42 |
| ubottu | jjnorth: 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. | 00:42 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: in the 'config =' line instead of 'amixer...' you put: xte 'key XF86AudioRaiseVolume' | 00:42 |
| jmcantrell | anyone know how to get the nvidia driver to work with the g210m? | 00:42 |
| sabat | vlt: ya, I have 4 hdd's, and just want one big disk | 00:43 |
| jmcantrell | Johnny_101: yeah, but it has nothing to do with compiz. it doesn't even get that far | 00:43 |
| jjnorth | !grub2 | 00:43 |
| ubottu | GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 00:43 |
| zyrkan_ | leave | 00:43 |
| Johnny_101 | jmcantrell : what the Resolution you set? | 00:43 |
| Spunkym3nkey | Hello, when I try to make a copy of one of my cds I get this error on Brasero --> Please install the following manually and try again: | 00:43 |
| Spunkym3nkey | libdvdcss.so.2 (library). | 00:43 |
| vlt | sabat: You need to create physical volumes (PV) as source devices for your volume group (VG). Then you can create as many logical volumes (LV) in one VG as you like. | 00:43 |
| Barridus | apparently crond is not starting, how do i make it so it does | 00:44 |
| eye-zak | Spunkym3nkey: have you installed dvdcss from the medibuntu repository ? | 00:44 |
| topo_ | fluffy_: the file shows up empty | 00:44 |
| fluffy_ | Spunkym3nkey: libdvdcss is used to decrypt DVDs | 00:44 |
| vlt | sabat: Do you want to boot from that device or just use it as additional storage? | 00:44 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: I don't know how to do a manual mounting. >_< You gave me a command, and I told him to mount it to /media/flashdrive, but he gets a response saying the mount point does not exist. | 00:44 |
| Spunkym3nkey | I got libdvdcss installed with media | 00:45 |
| Flannel | sabat: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-lvm/ Explains (with pictures!) the basics of LVM (ignore the commands about setting up and stuff, that isn't relevant, but the overview is) | 00:45 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: the mountpoint has to be a directory that already exists. | 00:45 |
| Spunkym3nkey | should i restart? | 00:45 |
| michelle_ | how can i manually find and install proper drivers for my dvd | 00:45 |
| michelle_ | how do i get permission to access dvdrom i do not have /etc/fstab/ file | 00:45 |
| sabat | I have a 250gb drive as my main drive. | 00:45 |
| cryptic0 | on my friend's dell inspiron E1505 laptop, the wireless is not working under ubuntu 9.04. what gives? | 00:45 |
| jjnorth | Andorin: Thanks... so far, I've been jammed up with Grub2 not storing configs after an upgrade from Karmic to Lucid. | 00:45 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: my hunch is that samba isn't started | 00:45 |
| eye-zak | Spunkym3nkey: no need | 00:45 |
| jjnorth | Andorin: Will see what happens. | 00:45 |
| vlt | !who | sabat | 00:45 |
| ubottu | sabat: 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 :) | 00:45 |
| sean___ | cryptic0: why | 00:45 |
| tux414 | I have a gamepad this model GPTL-00A and it isn't working on Ubuntu 10.04. | 00:45 |
| gbear14275 | anyone want to do me a favor and try and ssh into 74.106.4.22. It's my IP and I just want to make sure ssh is correctly refusing everything but keyed connections | 00:45 |
| sean___ | !tab | 00:46 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 00:46 |
| vlt | sabat: So just storage, right? | 00:46 |
| bastid_raZor | greezmunkey: time to add it to my other boxes now. | 00:46 |
| topo_ | fluffy_: I do get a response if I run smbtree but it only shows the local shares | 00:46 |
| acicula | gbear14275, you can test that by moving your private key out of .ssh, it will deafult back to password then | 00:46 |
| === richard is now known as Guest46463 | ||
| greezmunkey | bastid_raZor: yup, me too. | 00:46 |
| eye-zak | gbear14275: i got nothin | 00:46 |
| cryptic0 | sean___: what do you mean? | 00:46 |
| Spunkym3nkey | fluffy_, should I be using vdr-plugin-dvd for playback? | 00:46 |
| gbear14275 | acicula: I've done that... was just looking for a double check. eye-zak: Thanks | 00:46 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Okay, i did irexec -d, but it's not applying the changes. I confirmed this by erasing the contents of lircrc, and then doing -d, but it still modifies the volume as before.. | 00:46 |
| sean___ | cryptic0: why doesnt it work | 00:46 |
| cryptic0 | thats what I am asking :D. | 00:47 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: killall irexec && irexec -d | 00:47 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Think it might be an ntfs file system, because he got an error. | 00:47 |
| cryptic0 | I think it's a broadcom chip and I am surprised that ubuntu doesn't have drivers for it | 00:47 |
| sabat | vltL: linux is already installed and workingon the 250gb, and I used to have a 500gb drive as my "storage" drive, but I have filled it, so I removed it. I put in 4 500gb drives. now I just need to create the large volume out of the 4. I am not new to mounting/formatting/and so on, just not sure how to actually make a jbod from scratch. | 00:47 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: this will quit the first instance of irexec and start a new one | 00:47 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: unfortunately my samba experience isn't great. could be one of many things -- firewall, bad network config, someting up with your smb.conf :p | 00:48 |
| sean___ | cryptic0: try 9.10? | 00:48 |
| vlt | sabat: It's not neccessary but I'd recommend creating one partition per disk marked "8E" (lvm). | 00:48 |
| acicula | sabat have you installed all the updates? | 00:48 |
| Flannel | sabat: What you'll do is format those drives as 'lvm', those become PVs (Physical Volumes) then you use vgcreate to create a volume group (VG) out of all of those drives, then you have "one big drive" you can create LVs (Logical Volumes) on, which are akin to regular partitions | 00:49 |
| Barridus | nothing i can find on google about the crond service makes any sense, can anyone assist? | 00:49 |
| eye-zak | cryptic0: what broadcom chip is it ? | 00:49 |
| vlt | sabat: Then create the PVs: `pvcreate /dev/sdx1` for each disk | 00:49 |
| pcgeek32147 | how do i know what video card i have | 00:49 |
| jjnorth | Andorin: upgrade-from-grub-legacy insists on using /dev/sdb (which is my root mirror) over /dev/sda. | 00:49 |
| acicula | err i mean cryptic0 | 00:49 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Okay, that did restart it, but now its not changing it at all. The line I changed is: "config = xte 'key XF86AudioRaiseVolume'" | 00:49 |
| jjnorth | Andorin: Any way to correct this? | 00:49 |
| sabat | acicula: yes, I have all the updates installed. | 00:49 |
| eye-zak | pcgeek32147: lshw or lspci | 00:49 |
| fluffy_ | Spunkym3nkey: libdvdcss should work fine, vdr-plugin-dvd is... well, a plugin for a different prog | 00:49 |
| Andorin | jjnorth: I don't know :S | 00:49 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: perhaps my keymap is different? | 00:49 |
| aprilhare | hey | 00:49 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: try mount -t ntfs-3g instead | 00:49 |
| jjnorth | Andorin: lol, well, I'll try it anyways. | 00:49 |
| cryptic0 | acicula: it's a pretty recent version of ubuntu, I highly doubt upgrade would make a difference | 00:49 |
| sean___ | ubuntu is not for noobs | 00:49 |
| topo_ | fluffy_: thanks any way ill keep looking, Do you have it working? if so, could you paste bin you smb.conf? | 00:49 |
| aprilhare | can you 'grow' ext3 or ext4 partitions? | 00:50 |
| sabat | vlt: so, on each drive, create a type 8e partition spanning the whole disk, going to do that now. | 00:50 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: maybe, but I doubt that: Does this work when you run it in a terminal: xte 'key XF86AudioRaiseVolume' | 00:50 |
| sean___ | sure aprilbare | 00:50 |
| acicula | cryptic0, i dont mean upgrade, i mean update after install | 00:50 |
| vlt | sabat: Then create a VG and add the PVs: `vgcreate <name> /dev/sd{w,x,y,z}1` | 00:50 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Running now | 00:50 |
| acicula | cryptic0, broadcom uses some proprietary stuff thats probably not on the installation disc? | 00:50 |
| aprilhare | sean___, that sounds handy - the same way you can make a ntfs or fat filesystem larger? | 00:50 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: mine's autogenerated -- but ok :) | 00:50 |
| sean___ | yeah should work | 00:50 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: I confirmed the keymap is the same. When running the command in terminal, i discoverd that xte isn't installed! :) | 00:50 |
| jjnorth | sean: Was that crack aimed at me? | 00:50 |
| sabat | vlt it's /dev/sda = 250gb, /dev/sdb,c,d,e are teh 500gb. | 00:51 |
| vlt | sabat: Then create an LV in that group: `lvcreate <group name> -n <lv name> -l 100%FREE`. done | 00:51 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: I had him run: " sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb /home/username/Desktop " and he gets errors. | 00:51 |

| jmonreal | Hi all | 00:51 |
| jmonreal | Ive been using ubuntu for a while | 00:51 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: WOOOT! I installed and did everything, now it works 100% with osdnotify! Excellent! | 00:51 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: ah, sure, that's not installed by default. By the way, if you run irexec without "-d" it will not run in the background but report this kind of errors | 00:51 |
| vlt | sabat: You have a new 2TB sized block device in /dev/mapper/vg_name-lv_name | 00:51 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: you're welcome | 00:51 |
| jmonreal | and i have just installed 10.04 on 2 laptops | 00:52 |
| sean___ | jjnorth: sure if youre a noob | 00:52 |
| jmonreal | one without any problem | 00:52 |
| Flannel | sean___: Please stop that. | 00:52 |
| fluffy_ | topo_: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/mVGZbSY8 | 00:52 |
| jmonreal | but the other after making a safe-upgrade | 00:52 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: what errors do you get? | 00:52 |
| bazhang | sean___, that language is not acceptable here. Last warning. | 00:52 |
| jjnorth | sean: Thanks for the helpful reply. | 00:52 |
| jmonreal | grub stop working normaly | 00:52 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: So now, my hero, can we try and get Rythmbox integration working? | 00:52 |
| jmonreal | when I reboot i get a prompt with grub> | 00:52 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: for Rhythmbox, you could use: rhythmbox-client --next (or --previous) | 00:52 |
| jmonreal | can anyone help me? | 00:52 |
| asw3 | cannot access .gvfs: Transport endpoint is not connected | 00:53 |
| asw3 | what can i do? | 00:53 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: and of course --play-pause | 00:53 |
| usr13 | jmonreal: Say what you have to say. Don't scatter it all over, or no one will be albe to figure out what you are trying to say. | 00:53 |
| jjnorth | I suppose my last real resort here is hand-editing grub.cfg... is there any way to avoid that? | 00:53 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: run the live cd, grub is having issues finding your boot drive | 00:53 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: just copy a block in your .lircrc and fill in the button name and command | 00:53 |
| asw3 | i can get access to ".gvfs" | 00:53 |
| asw3 | ? | 00:53 |
| bazhang | jjnorth, you never edit that file; check the grub2 wiki | 00:53 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: from the live cd / rescue terminal you can chroot into your new installation and run update-grub to fix it | 00:54 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: ok, but after running the live cd what should i do? chroot to the partition where linux is installed and do grub-install? | 00:54 |
| jjnorth | bazhang: All I'm getting are circular references to commands that return the wrong partition for my boot system. | 00:54 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth: see /etc/grub.d/* | 00:54 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Yup, figured that part out :D Working on it now. Will report back in a sec once i get this set up.. :D | 00:54 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: ok, so update-grub | 00:54 |
| jmonreal | thanks | 00:54 |
| Typos_King | jmonreal: I"d say yes | 00:54 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: if you are running live from usb, there may be issues though | 00:54 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: so, why this things happen? | 00:55 |

| jjnorth | eye-zak: I checked those scripts, even update-grub outputs /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sda1. | 00:56 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: the grub.cfg generation code is not as good as it should be, so resources (not kernels or initrds) can be loaded by (hdA,B) instead of the new method using search for uuid | 00:56 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: What are you trhing to do? | 00:56 |
| MACscr | fluffy_: i have a amd x2 6000+ desktop, its definitely not speedstep =P | 00:56 |
| sabat | vlt: ok, step one complete, I have 4 500gb type 8e partitions now... so now I run lvm and use vgcreate on each one? | 00:56 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: try using /dev/sdb1 | 00:56 |
| yosi1234 | Anyone her using Ubuntu server on VMWARE ESXi? is there a performance hit with that? | 00:56 |
| fluffy_ | MACscr: Ah, ok, selfpwned for assuming intel then lol | 00:56 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: I'm trying to setup a 2 nic headless server with one nic facing inside our lan and one public facing | 00:56 |
| ikonia | yosi1234: depends on your host | 00:56 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: you can edit by hand for the 1st boot and then run update-grub from the real system to fix perminant | 00:56 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: I just rebooted to check if it will persist | 00:57 |
| avadakedevra | need help | 00:57 |
| yosi1234 | host is a simple Xenon 3440 chip single processor with a huge storage array on a EMC san | 00:57 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Edit where, 10-linux? | 00:57 |
| jmcantrell | anyone here use an Asus ULxxVT and know how to get the nvidia card to work? | 00:57 |
| bazhang | avadakedevra, then ask a question, all on one line | 00:57 |
| yosi1234 | 8gb ram | 00:57 |
| sabat | vlt: I think I said that wrong, but I think I get it. | 00:57 |
| ikonia | yosi1234: how it performs is nothing to do with ubuntu, but how you setup and manage your virtual host | 00:57 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: in grub.cfg there are set root='(hdX,Y)' lines that should not be there, noone looked at them so we have issues | 00:57 |
| CR3AL | Anyone know how i can list channels using Irssi so that i can page through? | 00:57 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: what do you mean edit by hadn? that i should put the exact partition where is installed? | 00:58 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth: sorry, what exactly was your end goal ? | 00:58 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Looks like jmonreal's goal, to be honest. | 00:58 |
| fluffy_ | MACscr: ok since we're talking AMD do you have cool n quiet enabled in bios? | 00:58 |
| avadakedevra | my gnome boot process has slowed down like hell recently.cant figure out | 00:58 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: in grub.cfg, there are sections like set root='(hd0,3)' | 00:58 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Apparently it's mounted now. But what can we do about automounting? | 00:58 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Every command I issue tries to boot the system from /dev/sdb1, when the system is on /dev/sda1. | 00:58 |
| yosi1234 | ikonia: will vmware add latency to the webserving (running lamp on it) | 00:58 |
| sabat | vlt: Thanks for your help, I may not entirely have it yet, but I am miles closer to getting it now. | 00:58 |
| MACscr | fluffy_: and its definitely not the bios doing it, so i need to figure out why ubuntu is doing it. No, coolnquiet is off | 00:58 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: it did now | 00:58 |
| gbear14275 | not | 00:59 |
| gbear14275 | * | 00:59 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: If you are wanting to set static IP's for your nics, you should simply edit /etc/network/interfaces | 00:59 |
| ikonia | yosi1234: as I've said it depends on how you setup and manage your virtual host, it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 00:59 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: ok I'll do that | 00:59 |
| juanffx | Hi guys, someone knows why the sound sometimes doesnt start in 10.04 at boot and have to reboot (useless most of the time) to work with the VIA-VT1720 soundcard? | 00:59 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: AWESOME! Play/pause, forward, and backward all work! I actually like rythmbox starting when I press those, as that's the default action in OSX that i've been accustomed to. One thing though, pressing forward/back for anything more than a split-second results in skipping two or more tracks. Is there a way to fix that, so it only changes on the button release perhaps? Maybe repeat=0? Thanks for your patience man. I'm 14 and trying | 00:59 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: i see them | 00:59 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: You can place commands in /etc/rc.local and that will work too.. but it is better to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces | 00:59 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: you guessed it, repeat = 0 | 01:00 |
| avadakedevra | how to speed up gnome boot | 01:00 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: i should delete them? | 01:00 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: you're very much welcome | 01:00 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: It's a bit confusing, tbh, because Grub... as near as I can tell... is looking for its configuration on hd0,1 (swap), and the config file would try to boot from my backup drive, were it accessible. | 01:00 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: no, replace them | 01:00 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: thanks... I don't know how old this howto is and looks to be fedora/redhat focused so yeah advice like that helps! thanks | 01:00 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: for what? | 01:00 |
| vlt | sabat: I wrote every single step. What did you miss? | 01:00 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: Yes, it is for fedira/redhat not Ubuntu | 01:00 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: what version of ubuntu? | 01:00 |
| MACscr | fluffy_: im thinking in need to check out cpufreq in lucid, but im not sure how to get to it | 01:01 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: 32-bit Lucid. | 01:01 |
| toxic | could someone help me configure iptables to have every outgoing connection on a choosen port go through a specific interface (now, everything OUTgoing goes to eth1, I'd like port 80 OUTgoing to use wlan0... but only port 80...) (using ubuntu-server) | 01:01 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: gimme a sec to lookup something | 01:01 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: ok, thanks | 01:01 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: First, see man interfaces | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | !fw | toxic | 01:01 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: .... for instructions as to how to properly edit /etc/network/interfaces | 01:01 |
| avadakedevra | how to speed up gnome boot | 01:01 |
| pokeh | schlaftier: Excellent!!! Thanks for all your help man, I really appreciate it! | 01:01 |
| Typos_King | !firewall | toxic | 01:01 |
| ubottu | toxic: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 01:01 |
| greezmunkey | MACscr: chec this out: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e "cpu" -e "model" - in a terminal | 01:02 |
| MACscr | fluffy_: nevermind, found just added it to a panel | 01:02 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal, jjnorth: testing in grub in VM | 01:02 |
| toxic | Typos_King, i looked at iptables carefully... | 01:02 |
| toxic | Typos_King, I found no way to specify the outgoing interface... | 01:02 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: And make sure to take your time and get it right, because you'll loose connection to your lan if you get it wrong. | 01:02 |
| MACscr | im not a big fan of "ondemand" cpu throttling, etc | 01:02 |
| yosi1234 | Setting up my first Ubuntu LAMP Server - is it fairly secure from the default install, or ar there some recommended steps to secure the box | 01:03 |
| Goatee | hey, I kinda went too far with making nautilus looking good and hid the menubar - in fact all bars. xD is there a way to redo it? because I wanted to change the background-image of nautilus and can't get to the "edit" menu. ^^ | 01:03 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: I think I'll just hand-code it to start. It's a bit ridiculous to have to do this, but worth checking out. | 01:03 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: do you know of any that are current (ish) and ubuntu focused. I've been trying to read the man pages but this is my first time doing this. I'm not even sure what I'm looking to consult the man pages about (reading the man interfaces now) | 01:03 |
| Typos_King | toxic: maybe any of the frontends may help :| | 01:03 |
| schlaftier | pokeh: glad I could help! | 01:03 |
| toxic | Typos_King, I'm on ubuntu-server... | 01:03 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: apt-get install pmount usbmount | 01:03 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth: i'm don't remember your motivation, jmontreal needs only 1 boot then can fix | 01:03 |
| jmonreal | jjnorth: ive installed it twice and got the same result | 01:03 |
| toxic | so no front-end, and I already tried ufs and firestarter : no such option possible ! | 01:04 |
| vlt | Anyone (I've helped in the last hours ;-) knowing C here willing to help me with a small problem (the folks in #c are like "read a book first" ...)? | 01:04 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Are those going to require command-line configuration? Remember, I'm helping a Linux noob here. | 01:04 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: hi. i use cpufrequtils | 01:04 |
| Typos_King | toxic: I see, can't say :( | 01:05 |
| Loshki | vlt: yes, I'll bite. But it's offtopic for this channel, you'll have to PM me... | 01:05 |

| corey | hey guys i'm a little confused. I'm running 10.04 and about half of the time if my computer goes to sleep or hibernates i can't use my touchpad when i come back | 01:05 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: did you get cpufrequtils installed and going ok? | 01:05 |
| corey | though if i plug in a usb mouse it works just fine | 01:06 |
| MACscr | onetinsoldier: i just used the applet built into gnome. That seemed to do the trick. I kind of find it retarded that ubuntu had it on by default | 01:06 |
| usr13 | corey: Fully updated? | 01:06 |
| jjnorth | jmonreal: What's your system been doing, for comparison's sake? | 01:06 |
| MACscr | aka, "ondemand" scaling | 01:06 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: ahh, roger | 01:06 |
| corey | usr13: yes | 01:06 |
| maelaian | when i try to install all i see are square boxes instead of text | 01:07 |
| jmonreal | jjnorth: what do you mean? | 01:07 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal, jjnorth: my code (for something else) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/438074/ , take a look | 01:07 |
| gbear14275 | is there anyway to make a nic card LED flash? I don't know if my left or right nic is my eth0 | 01:07 |
| greezmunkey | gbear14275: ping something | 01:07 |
| jjnorth | jmonreal: Nevermind, doesn't look like the same issue. | 01:08 |

| Stavros | hello | 01:08 |
| CR3AL | hiya | 01:08 |
| Stavros | is there a stripped-down version of ubuntu? i don't really need the graphical packages, i just want something like the server version but even that is 600mb | 01:09 |
| rascal999 | any wizards on nfs shares and diskless booting? | 01:09 |
| CR3AL | Yes | 01:09 |
| Johnny_101 | Stavros, CR3AL : welcome to Ubuntu | 01:09 |
| CR3AL | crunchbang | 01:09 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: what does that mean? | 01:09 |
| bazhang | Stavros, the minimal version | 01:09 |
| fluffy_ | Stavros: debian netinst :p | 01:09 |
| Stavros | bazhang: which one is that? | 01:09 |
| bazhang | CR3AL, dont recommmend that here | 01:09 |
| sabat | vlt: step 2 complete, I did sudo vgcreate dumptruck /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 and it seems to have worked so far. | 01:09 |
| bazhang | !minimal | Stavros | 01:09 |
| ubottu | Stavros: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 01:09 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: I've just tried update-grub and got a message cannot find list of partitions | 01:09 |
| Stavros | bazhang: oh damn, i never knew this existed, thanks! | 01:10 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: Well, one thing you can do is start a ping to a particular IP and unplug the cables and watch for the ping results to stop. | 01:10 |
| fluffy_ | I never knew Ubuntu had a minimal version. Y'learn something new every day :D | 01:10 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: are u in the live disk, in a chroot ? did you bind-mount /dev/ from outside | 01:10 |
| tux414 | I have a built in microphone on an acer aspire one model #Kav60 series d250-1417 microphone won't work with any skype or empathy | 01:10 |
| vlt | sabat: fine | 01:10 |
| vlt | sabat: go on | 01:10 |
| greezmunkey | *Question* Regarding update-grub, is it the same as update-grub2 (assuming grub2 is installed)? | 01:10 |
| bazhang | greezmunkey, update-grub is used for grub2 | 01:11 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: so i think the easiest way is to get the UUID of your /boot (or /root if you have no /boot) | 01:11 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: yes | 01:11 |
| sabat | vlt: so now I use pvcreate to make the new large disk on it right? | 01:11 |
| greezmunkey | Thansk guys :) | 01:11 |
| eye-zak | bazhang: update-grub is update-grub2 if you have only grub2 installed | 01:11 |
| gafir | hello | 01:11 |
| gafir | How can I know the partition name of /home and the partition name of / | 01:11 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: I'm going to reboot and see if a manual config fixed this; otherwise, it's back to specifying kernel and initrd from the GRUB shell... | 01:12 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: then look for all of the search .. --fs-uuid --set XXXXXXX and set them | 01:12 |
| gafir | I set them as two different partitions, but they only appear as in the same directory | 01:12 |
| bastid_raZor | gafir: type mount | 01:12 |
| sabat | vlt: I only want one partition out of all this, so I am assuming my next step is "make the drive" then "format the drive" then "mount it" | 01:12 |
| Goatee | hey, I kinda went too far with making nautilus looking good and hid the menubar - in fact all bars. is there a way to redo it? because I wanted to change the background-image of nautilus and can't get to the "edit" menu. ^^ | 01:12 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help | 01:12 |
| gafir | bastic_raZor: worked thanks :-) | 01:12 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: ok, that should be the uuid that appears in /etc/fstab right? | 01:12 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: yes the one for / | 01:13 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: or /boot if you have a seperate /boot | 01:13 |
| Condoulo | are there any tools in Ubuntu that I can use to compress PNG files? | 01:13 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: ok | 01:13 |
| usr13 | marge: Hello Marge! | 01:13 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: It would also appear that his Windows XP partition is not appearing in the list on the left in Nautilus. >> | 01:13 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: if you don't know, you can use sed -i 's/OLD-UUID/NEW-UUID/g' /path/to/grub.cfg to replace all | 01:13 |
| vlt | sabat: Yes, I already described how to "make the drive" | 01:14 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: being a fixed internal drive that probably needs to go in his /etc/fstab | 01:14 |
| swordz | Hi. When I boot up my PC, afetr the flash screen but before the login screen, I get a 'snow' screen - random lines on the screen. Worryingly, sometimes this screen contains fragments from my previous session (since which my computer has been OFF). | 01:14 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: But /my/ WinXP partition appears in the pane... | 01:14 |
| pokeh | How can I get lirc to start on login? | 01:14 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: ah. Does he go through the complete shutdown in XP? | 01:15 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help | 01:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Condoulo: sure.. optipng, pngcrush. there might be others as well. don't know | 01:15 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: they are set :S | 01:15 |
| eye-zak | swordz: this may be an issue with the default framebuffer driver vga16fb | 01:15 |
| Condoulo | onetinsoldier, thanks :) | 01:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Condoulo: you're welcome | 01:15 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Yes. | 01:15 |
| swordz | It remembers what was the screen over a power off?! | 01:15 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: That's got it. It's a dirty hack, but it works. | 01:15 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: that is all you need, grub is already in the mbr so try reboot | 01:15 |
| swordz | How do I stop it? Can I? Is it known about/scheduled to be fixed? | 01:15 |
| rascal999 | netbooting using nfs share. I change pxelinux.cfg/default file from append root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.2:/mnt/fs initrd=initrd.img rw (note *rw*) to append root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.2:/mnt/fs initrd=initrd.img and i get this error rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking -- Either use '-o nolock' to keep locks local, or start stad | 01:15 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: And according to him, the drive doesn't auto-mount even with pmount and usbmount installed. | 01:16 |
| jmonreal | but when i did update-grub it did throw me the error i told you | 01:16 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth: hopefully you can get it to regenerate properly with scripts from /etc/grub.d/ but it takes some hacking, update-grub regenerates grub.cfg | 01:16 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: but when i did update-grub it did throw me the error i told you | 01:16 |
| maelaian | when i try to install all i see are square boxes instead of text | 01:16 |
| pokeh | When I start my computer, I am greeted by a black screen with a blinking underscore in the upper left hand corner (after grub, mind you). After a a bit, it then goes into the Lucid loading screen with the nice graphics (plymouth). However, it is very brief. I suspect that I am spending most of my time in the blank/blink screen, and very little time in the actual loading screen. Does anyone know why this is? | 01:16 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: update-grub makes grub.cfg, that is it | 01:16 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Never mind. It mounts now. | 01:16 |
| sabat | vlt: I am assuming your talking about this line, (<vlt> sabat: Then create an LV in that group: `lvcreate <group name> -n <lv name> -l 100%FREE`. done) so.. lvcreate dumptruck -n (what goes here?) -l 100%FREE | 01:16 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: what dows update-grub2 ?? | 01:16 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: exact same | 01:17 |
| Andorin | pokeh: Same for me when I boot on my desktop, but not my laptop. Is it a bothersome issue? | 01:17 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: I feel I should enlighten you more on my situation: this laptop has been through a lot, starting off with an x86 install Gutsy, then upgrading through Intreprid with its sole clean install being to switch to amd64 in Jaunty. | 01:17 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: the stick or the XP partition? | 01:17 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Perhaps it's overdue for a clean install. ;) | 01:17 |
| === dhwty is now known as dhwty_afk | ||
| vlt | sabat: dumptruck is the name of your volume group. Now you need a name for the (one) volume you want to create in it. | 01:18 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: the stick, sorry. XP partition doesn't show up. | 01:18 |
| bolly | hi all im trying to grab my latest driver for my card with the hardware menu and its giving me: | 01:18 |

| bolly | any ideas? | 01:18 |

| MACscr | got kind of a dumb question. I often launch programs from console and when i do and i want to get back to the command prompt, i would press control + c, the problem is that often cancels the app i had launched. Whats the proper way to do it? | 01:18 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help how do i make it work | 01:18 |
| usr13 | jjnorth: Is it a dual core processor? | 01:18 |
| pokeh | Andorin: Lol, it's not particularly "bothersome", but if there's an easy fix I wouldn't mind getting rid of that screen and spending more time looking at my beautiful plymouth theme :D | 01:18 |
| eye-zak | jmontreal: if you want to run update-grub[2] in a chroot, you need to do sudo mount --bind /dev /path/to/chroot/dev first | 01:18 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Well, don't worry about it too much. It's an HP Pavilion, so it's been nothing but trouble from Day One back on Shrike. | 01:18 |
| maelaian | Anyone know why on the install screen all the text are boxes. | 01:19 |

| jjnorth | usr13: Didn't mean to ignore you; no, it's a Turion 64. | 01:19 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth: that's what my roomate does with his | 01:20 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: there's 2 ways... the easy way is to do a command like this... command & | 01:20 |

| MACscr | oh, im retarded, you said hdmi | 01:21 |
| MACscr | lol | 01:21 |
| jjnorth | maelaian: Sorry, I've had the problem before, don't remember how I fixed it. :( | 01:21 |
| eye-zak | tux414: which net book ? | 01:21 |
| jjnorth | usr13: Yeah, back at Jaunty. | 01:21 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: have to go soon, but here's a couple things to suggest for the XP disk -- try adding it into fstab, failing that he may just have to manually mount it. Linux can be hit and miss when it comes to NTFS in my experience, but mostly hit ;) | 01:21 |
| tux414 | eye-zak, acer aspire one | 01:21 |
| pcgeek32147 | why i need help | 01:21 |
| maelaian | this has had to be the worst install experience i have ever had with linux. Ive never needed special kernel flags before. | 01:22 |
| jjnorth | usr13: Why, did you have some questions? | 01:22 |
| jmonreal | eye-zak: it worked! thanks | 01:22 |
| maelaian | ontop of the installer isues. | 01:22 |
| usr13 | jjnorth: Ok, well never mind. Not sure what your problem is. | 01:22 |
| jjnorth | usr13: lol, that could come across wrong... ;) | 01:22 |
| Johnny_101 | bolly : solved? | 01:22 |
| tux414 | eye-zak, d250-1417 is the series | 01:22 |
| bolly | no sir | 01:22 |
| eye-zak | tux414: see help.ubuntu.com, there is an issue that one of the stereo channels on your mic is used for noise cancellation | 01:22 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help how do i make it work pm me to help | 01:22 |
| compaq | you know, my cpu is idle, before, I had compiz and nvidia card with proprietary drivers, and my cpu was all maxed out, spent hours shopping online for a new computer, and then I removed the nvidia card, and am using onboard intel with just metacity, and my cpu is barely even used up | 01:22 |
| eye-zak | jmonreal: your welcome | 01:22 |
| Andorin | fluffy_: Right. Thanks for your help. | 01:23 |
| jjnorth | usr13: Sometimes, I don't know what my problem is, either. ;) | 01:23 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: you see my message? try --> command & | 01:23 |
| eye-zak | tux414, i saw it earlier, i think it's in the release bugs for karmic, or the pulseaudio page | 01:23 |
| fluffy_ | Andorin: no worries :) | 01:23 |
| Typos_King | Andorin: http://maketecheasier.com/auto-mount-your-ntfs-partition-in-ubuntu/2009/04/14 if it helps | 01:23 |
| jjnorth | usr13: You got quiet there... XD | 01:24 |
| MACscr | onetinsoldier: as in: 'conky &' ? | 01:24 |
| usr13 | jjnorth: Maybe you should just re-install. | 01:24 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help how do i make it work pm me to help | 01:24 |
| compaq | I don't know if it was compiz or nvidia proprietary driver that was killing my cpu. Anyway, i am going to turn on compiz in a bit and check again, then I will tell you if the proprietary drivers were too heavy or compiz | 01:24 |
| usr13 | marge: Yes, you can get on it now. | 01:24 |
| tux414 | eye-zak, thanks i will give it a shot | 01:24 |
| jjnorth | usr13: Yeah, I had to get the system operable first, though... turns out, it's the only functional optical drive in this house. | 01:24 |
| onetinsoldier | MACscr: yes | 01:25 |
| sabat | MACscr: yes, the & means to run something, but immediately return me to the shell | 01:25 |
| jjnorth | usr13: I don't have good luck with hardware. ^^' | 01:25 |
| usr13 | jjnorth: Oh, I see. | 01:25 |
| MACscr | sabat: thats not working | 01:25 |
| jjnorth | usr13: Now the terrifying part of that, is that I'm a technician by trade. | 01:25 |
| usr13 | jjnorth: Hardware does not require luck. It either works nor not. :) | 01:25 |
| pcgeek32147 | plz help me | 01:26 |
| pcgeek32147 | i have dell mini 10 it has a Intel NM10 Express video card but hdmi does not work help how do i make it work pm me to help | 01:26 |
| Scunizi | compaq: souldn't be.. I just came in so missed a lot of your issue.. did you "upgrade" or fresh install? | 01:26 |
| greezmunkey | jjnorth: terrifying to your customers mabe :) | 01:26 |
| goundy | Hi | 01:26 |
| jjnorth | greezmunkey: If I told them that, yes. ;) | 01:26 |
| MACscr | pcgeek32147: damnit, be patient, have you never used irc before? | 01:26 |
| goundy | Guys I just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 | 01:26 |
| Inu | Hi, I updated from 9.10 to 10.04 and now my network is disabled. Can't ping, update, anything. | 01:26 |
| compaq | scubacuda, my cpu is idle, before, I had compiz and nvidia card with proprietary drivers, and my cpu was all maxed out, spent hours shopping online for a new computer, and then I removed the nvidia card, and am using onboard intel with just metacity, and my cpu is barely even used up | 01:26 |
| MACscr | pcgeek32147: your obviously not providing enough information for anyone to even help you | 01:26 |
| goundy | But I get a random freeze/hang up | 01:26 |
| goundy | The CPU starts working at 100% | 01:26 |
| goundy | And I can't do anything | 01:27 |
| goundy | I've to use the power button to shutdown | 01:27 |
| jjnorth | Inu: Separate computer, I hope? | 01:27 |
| eye-zak | Inu: what is the status of your network card with ifoconfig -a | 01:27 |
| goundy | Anyone came across this ? | 01:27 |
| jjnorth | Sorry, sorry, I couldn't help myself. ^_^ | 01:27 |
| Scunizi | compaq: which driver did you use 173 or the "other" that has no version number? | 01:27 |
| Inu | haven't tried that one yet. i will | 01:27 |
| Andorin | !enter | 01:27 |
| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:27 |
| eye-zak | goundy: what were u running ? | 01:27 |
| Goatee | hi. I really need some help. :/ I have hidden all my bars in Nautilus - including the menubar with "file, edit, etc." and can't undo it anymore. whenever I change the gconf to "start_with_menubar = true" and restart nautilus it changes it back to false. any ideas? I tried to change it as root as well. | 01:27 |
| goundy | eye-zak, well the first time pidgin, thunderbird and a gnome-terminal | 01:27 |
| maelaian | Anyone know why on the install screen all the text are boxes? It was hell even getting the installer this far... | 01:27 |
| compaq | Scunizi, I can't remember, it is an nvidia 128mb old card, let me see 1 sec | 01:28 |
| Condoulo | with pngcrush, which options should I use to compress a png? | 01:28 |
| goundy | eye-zak, second time + xchat and google chrome | 01:28 |
| bart_ | Howdy Y'all | 01:28 |
| jedc | I just installed 10.04 on my a lenovo g555, the problem is my speakers do not mute when I plug in headphones and I can't find controls to mute them without muting the headphones also. | 01:28 |
| eye-zak | goundy: my xchat is horrible, i cannot browse channels | 01:28 |
| goundy | eye-zak, it works perfectly for me | 01:28 |
| compaq | Scunizi, I am pretty sure it was gforce or something like that | 01:28 |
| eye-zak | goundy: when i do, i think that was what i got | 01:28 |
| bart_ | jedc: do you have an X-Fi card? | 01:29 |
| eye-zak | goundy: i browse, enter channels, oh yeah the key was make Favourites | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | compaq: naw.. what I was asking is when you enabled the drivers, which one did you pick.. on my system there were 2 to choose from | 01:29 |
| compaq | Scunizi, there weren | 01:29 |
| goundy | eye-zak, so? | 01:29 |
| Scunizi | compaq: none? so was this a fresh install? | 01:29 |
| eye-zak | goundy: by 3 or 4 my xchat stalls | 01:29 |
| compaq | Scunizi, it didn't give me the option, just the one proprietary came up, and asked to enable it and I said yes | 01:29 |
| sabat | vlt: I created my volume, called it 'dt' but I don't see how I mount it. | 01:30 |
| goundy | eye-zak, only xchat ? | 01:30 |
| compaq | Scunizi, yeah | 01:30 |
| goundy | eye-zak, I get my whole system freezing dude lol | 01:30 |
| sabat | vlt: should it show up in /dev somewhere now? | 01:30 |
| eye-zak | goundy, ok not the same prob then .. i could recover | 01:30 |
| goundy | heh | 01:30 |
| eye-zak | goundy, sounds like xorg/video issues but who knows | 01:30 |
| bart_ | I am having a rediculous amount of sound problems with 10.04... been messing with it for 2 days... and looks like i can't fix it | 01:30 |
| vlt | 01:51 < vlt> sabat: You have a new 2TB sized block device in /dev/mapper/vg_name-lv_name | 01:31 |
| goundy | eye-zak, I think ti's actually the 2.6.32-22 kernel | 01:31 |
| asw3 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/212789 | 01:31 |
| jjnorth | dosordie... died? Must've had a change of heart. | 01:31 |
| sabat | vlt: ty... sorry, I lose some of the conversation in such a busy channel | 01:31 |
| asw3 | how to fix this? | 01:31 |
| bart_ | looks like the X-Fi Extreme Audio was left out of all the driver sets from both alsa and creative... | 01:31 |
| eye-zak | goundy, did you try the newer kernels from the kernel team (not in repo) | 01:31 |
| sjefen6 | "Failed to fetch http://no.archive.ubuntu.com" have something exploded? | 01:31 |
| sabat | vlt, again, thank you wholeheartedly. you've been more than helpful and patient. | 01:31 |
| Scunizi | compaq: ok.. 2 things.. right after a fresh install I always "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. that brings in all the newer packages since the release.. then go to System>Admin>Hardware Drivers and look there for your options.. most likely you'll have 2. On my laptop it enabled the 173 driver which tends to overheat my computer.. the other didn't. On my desktop machines I typically use the driver | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | direct from Nvidia.. but that's another issue.. | 01:32 |
| goundy | eye-zak, I never manualy built kernel for ubuntu actually | 01:32 |
| eye-zak | goundy, i think they are pre-built images if i remember correctly | 01:32 |
| compaq | Scunizi, no, there were none there | 01:32 |
| Scunizi | compaq: did you do all the updates though? | 01:32 |
| compaq | Scunizi, there were none there | 01:32 |
| goundy | eye-zak, I just found it I'm gonna try kernel .33 :) | 01:33 |
| maelaian | Ok I tried to ignore the boxes and continue installation. When I hit install after going through all the screens it kicked me to desktop. Whats going on? | 01:33 |
| eye-zak | goundy, but if it's a module you can build the module seperately, i had to do that so sound and usb would work on my intel | 01:33 |
| goundy | thanks dude | 01:33 |
| bart_ | lol... with my bluetooth headset i have MIC but no output, with my on board NVIDIA sound i have MIC but no output, and with X-Fi I have output but no MIC | 01:33 |
| goundy | eye-zak, yeah I see | 01:33 |
| jjnorth | sjefen6: ping -c1 no.archive.ubuntu.com returns 100% packet loss... :( | 01:33 |
| compaq | Scunizi, yeah, well I did a few install tries and I installed all the updates once, it doesn't make much of difference in my opinion, the release was just a few weeks ago | 01:33 |
| Nick07 | I need HELP!!! some dummy put windows and messed up my ubuntu grub | 01:34 |
| Nick07 | using 10.04 lts desktop | 01:34 |
| jjnorth | sjefen6: Looks like it's back up now. :) | 01:34 |
| arand | !grub2 | Nick07 | 01:34 |
| ubottu | Nick07: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 01:34 |
| eye-zak | Nick07: what position is your machine in now ? borked grub ? | 01:34 |
| sabat | vlt: one last question, do suggest any FS in paticular for a large drive like this? I was kinda tossing reiserfs and ext4 around in my head, but I really don't know the strengths or weaknesses of them | 01:34 |
| maelaian | Screw 10.04. Im installing 9.10 lol. | 01:35 |
| Scunizi | compaq: it can.. there are several versions of 10.04 that will happen.. 10.04.1 10.04.2 10.04.3 .. depends on the devs.. but there's continuous updates that's why the long string for updating.. it catches all that needs to be cought | 01:35 |
| arand | Nick07: reinstall according to wiki | 01:35 |
| Nick07 | yeah | 01:35 |
| maelaian | Whats the steps for an upgrade of a clean 9.10 system to 10.04, trying to find it on the wiki i dont see it. | 01:35 |
| eye-zak | Nick07: see wiki | 01:35 |
| jjnorth | Reiser's a killer filesystem.. or so I'm told. =3 | 01:35 |
| sjefen6 | jjnorth: these computers; they are truly a strang contraption | 01:35 |
| Nick07 | how do i reinstall grun without hurting my ubuntu setup | 01:35 |
| Flannel | jjnorth: Please refrain from those sorts of things | 01:35 |
| jjnorth | Flannel: Got it, won't happen again. :) | 01:36 |
| Typos_King | grun? | 01:36 |
| pussyroller | help! made custom ubuntu live cd, but it can't detect hard disk! what can i do to fix this problem? | 01:36 |
| bart_ | sabat: ubuntu won't provide support for reiser.. .only ext4 | 01:36 |
| vlt | sabat: I'd go for ext4 | 01:36 |
| Flannel | bart_: That's not correct | 01:36 |
| vlt | sabat: (but I'd do that for any sized fs ;-) | 01:36 |
| bart_ | Flannel: That was what I read | 01:36 |
| compaq | ok here it goes, compiz --replace, lets see it strain on resources | 01:36 |
| Nick07 | need a link to a wiki or step by step how it please | 01:36 |
| Flannel | bart_: That's inaccurate. We recommend ext4 as a default, but "only supporting it" isn't true | 01:37 |
| jedc | Does anyone know how I can find controls to mute my laptop speakers but not my heapphone output? there are only master and pcm controls in alsamixer. | 01:37 |
| sabat | vlt: ah ok. I really don't know what reiserfs is, but I know they used it on my server at work, so I was contemplating it. | 01:37 |
| Flannel | Nick07: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 01:37 |
| bart_ | Flannel: Good to know | 01:37 |
| jjnorth | bart_: Um, there are some less-than-reputable news sources that used recent events to push that line. It's not true, though. | 01:37 |
| greezmunkey | mmm ice cream :P | 01:37 |
| eye-zak | jdec: have u looked at all of the cards in alsamixer | 01:37 |
| sabat | vlt: I've always used ext2/3/4 since I got into linux | 01:37 |
| kr3w | is there another choice? | 01:37 |
| jedc | eye-zak, how do I do that? | 01:37 |
| eye-zak | kr3w: xfs | 01:38 |
| compaq | oh well, it doesn't even start anymore, now that I enable metacity compositing | 01:38 |
| pcgeek32147 | macscr<<< all the info i have is its a dell mini 10 with a Intel NM10 Express | 01:38 |
| kr3w | is it better? | 01:38 |
| kr3w | performance wise | 01:38 |
| eye-zak | jdec: type h in alsamixer and read the help | 01:38 |
| jjnorth | Flannel: I got my joke was out of taste, but I hope that last comment was more acceptable...? | 01:38 |
| MACscr | pcgeek32147: then your not going to get any help | 01:38 |
| jv_ | my xorg.conf does not exist in X11, intel 945 graphics | 01:38 |
| vlt | sabat: I used reiserfs too but I think nowadays ext3/4 are as good as it. | 01:38 |
| Scunizi | !xrandr | jv_ | 01:39 |
| ubottu | jv_: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 01:39 |
| eye-zak | kr3w: i have run into the "max # of files" on ext2,3,4 but not xfs | 01:39 |
| jjnorth | Flannel: Seems the Enquirer has a funny way of making their own headlines. | 01:39 |
| kr3w | what does that mean? | 01:39 |
| aprilhare | is there an easy way to install this under ubuntu? http://zfs-fuse.net/ | 01:39 |
| Scunizi | jv_: not only dual screens but everything monitor related | 01:39 |
| kr3w | real life examples wise | 01:39 |
| eye-zak | jv_: xorg.conf is now filled in automatically by xorg/udev | 01:39 |
| pcgeek32147 | what more info do you need dude | 01:40 |
| eye-zak | aprilhare: download and build source ... | 01:40 |
| jedc | eye-zak, I can get front mic and mic controls with alsamixer -V all, but the only card I can look at is 0 | 01:40 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: so I've read the man interfaces page and am a little confused about the correct syntax to use. I don't understand what the iface and inet does. (e.g. iface eth0 inet dhcp) | 01:40 |
| aprilhare | eye-zak, thanks | 01:40 |
| aprilhare | eye-zak, in other words no there isn't an easy way :) | 01:41 |
| greezmunkey | iface == interface, inet == tcp/ip | 01:41 |
| jv_ | eye-zak, tx, do you know what file should I edit to disable one of dual monitors? | 01:41 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: if I am trying to configure eth1 to have a static address on boot, I'm assuming dhcp wont be there, but do I need the iface and inet? | 01:41 |
| eye-zak | jedc, it may not be supported for your card ... not sure | 01:41 |
| pcgeek32147 | macscr<<< all the info i have is its a dell mini 10 with a Intel NM10 Express | 01:42 |
| pcgeek32147 | what more info do you need dude | 01:42 |
| === Cain` is now known as Cain | ||
| eye-zak | aprilhare, the instructions are there download install deps and run scons in the source dir | 01:42 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: I've also tried to search the man pages for iface but nothing came back | 01:42 |
| jv_ | I can do it by GUI but one screen is broken...or should I blacklist the driver? | 01:42 |
| jjnorth | Hey guys, here's a question... does XChat have any way to isolate usernames for responses? | 01:42 |
| MACscr | pcgeek32147: and i already told you thats not enough information to help you. You need to go into way more detail on your issue. More than likely you need to open up a post on the forums | 01:43 |
| eye-zak | jv_: xorg.conf, but you only need to add values for the thing you want to change. I don't know what the exact setting is for randr (i have nVidia) but you only need a Device section | 01:43 |
| eye-zak | jv_: or a screen section if that is where it is for randr | 01:43 |
| iflema | jjnorth yes. /lastlog nick | 01:43 |
| Loshki | jjnorth: I've always thought a button which presented a threaded view of all the conversations for a nick would be handy... | 01:43 |
| jjnorth | iflema: Thank you. Been searching for that for a bit. :) | 01:43 |
| jv_ | eye-zak, tx, will do | 01:44 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: iface just designates the interface (iface is just short for interface) "iface eth0" means that you are designating interface eth0 to be what ever it is you want it to be. | 01:45 |

| sunny0422 | hey guys im having trouble with my sound since i just installed ubuntu can anyone help? | 01:45 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Do you know which version you installed? | 01:45 |
| sunny0422 | http://pastie.org/972924 | 01:45 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422: what specifically | 01:45 |
| sunny0422 | the latest version | 01:46 |
| sunny0422 | 10. something | 01:46 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Okay, thanks for that. What PC do you have (make, model)... do you know if it's 32 or 64-bit... things of that nature...? | 01:46 |
| sunny0422 | 64 bit asus laptop | 01:47 |
| sunny0422 | gaming edition | 01:47 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: "iface eth0 inet dhcp" Means: Interface eth0 is set to dhcp. | 01:47 |
| kr3w | anyone using xchat here? | 01:47 |
| jjnorth | kr3w: Just about everyone, I'd think... ;) | 01:47 |
| maelaian | mIRC ftw. | 01:47 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: What's it doing / not doing? | 01:47 |
| === empt is now known as emptist | ||
| sunny0422 | its doing nothing | 01:48 |
| jjnorth | maelaian: I stand corrected. :) | 01:48 |
| kr3w | is there a way to do multi-server from commands | 01:48 |
| kr3w | rather than ctrl+T | 01:48 |
| sunny0422 | all settings seems to be right but its just not playing | 01:48 |
| kr3w | cause that's really annoying | 01:48 |
| kr3w | like mirc had /server -m | 01:48 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: in man interfaces, skip down to the line that starts with, "Stanzas defining logical interfaces start with a line consisting of the word "iface" followed by the name of the logical interface..." and read again. | 01:48 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: At all (no login sounds) or only on certain files? | 01:49 |
| sunny0422 | well the sound asus makes when computer turns on is there, but when OS loads nothing | 01:49 |
| maelaian | jjnorth: Id be using xchat but 10.04 installer seems to be quite a backwards step in terms of working. One thing after another, my 9.x CD works flawlessly no problems. Just put it in hit install and its done. | 01:49 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: Or I should have said, the paragraph that starts with... | 01:49 |
| sunny0422 | http://pastie.org/972926 | 01:49 |
| moetunes | kr3w: you can use /server in xchat | 01:49 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, have you chosen the profile in SoundPreferences ->Hardware you need | 01:49 |
| gbear14275 | usr13: was doing so... I think I found it... so to set my static port I would use "iface eth1 inet static" thanks again | 01:49 |
| sunny0422 | no how do i do that | 01:50 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: Yes, that is correct. | 01:50 |
| kr3w | if i do that then it changes server | 01:50 |
| kr3w | i dont want that | 01:50 |
| jjnorth | maelaian: Too true, I'm working on hitting up a Lucid clean install now that I have this pile working again... ;) | 01:50 |
| kr3w | i want multi | 01:50 |
| sean___ | nah | 01:50 |
| kr3w | irssi does multi server with /server | 01:50 |
| kr3w | not xchat :/ | 01:50 |
| moetunes | kr3w: afaik it just adds a server - doesn't remove any | 01:50 |
| kr3w | let me see again | 01:51 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: xchat will do multi server .. so will Qaussel.. but irssi is fantastic.. Weechat is suppose to be as good depending on who you talk to. | 01:51 |
| kr3w | no it doesn't add on /server | 01:51 |
| kr3w | it disconnects the current | 01:52 |
| kr3w | then goes to the other one | 01:52 |
| kr3w | seems like the only way to | 01:52 |
| usr13 | gbear14275: As you can see [in man interfaces] you can also designate gateway and netmask as well, so ... | 01:52 |
| kr3w | ctrl+t | 01:52 |

| sunny0422 | im in system settings, multimedia, and i see my audio drives (HDA Intel (ALC663 Analog)) | 01:52 |
| moetunes | kr3w: from the menubar - xchat - new - server tab | 01:52 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, click sound icon ->sound preferences->hardware tab select your sound card and choose from the box at the bottom .. try digital vs analog | 01:52 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: I"m on kde right now so I can't give you the steps.. but instead of /server try /connect | 01:52 |
| sunny0422 | when i click test nothing happens | 01:52 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: System > Preferences > Sound, Hardware tab, should have... | 01:52 |
| kr3w | okay lets try that one | 01:52 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak got it | 01:52 |
| kr3w | nope | 01:53 |
| kr3w | doesnt work on /connect either | 01:53 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: probably what moetunes said.. sounds familure | 01:53 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, i had possibly similar issue, but if your usb is working than it's not the same | 01:53 |
| kr3w | yeah i know that way, my original question was from command | 01:53 |
| kr3w | i know the menu option | 01:53 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: i tested all 4 nothing yet | 01:53 |
| sabat | vlt: ok, took a while to format :) but I now have 1.9tb free on that drive. TY! | 01:53 |
| kr3w | and i know the keyboard shortcut too | 01:53 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: usb working fine actually | 01:54 |
| kr3w | was wanting something similar to /server -m in mIRC | 01:54 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: ah.. then it is capable just not the way you want to use it.. it's tough when you're use to irssi | 01:54 |
| kr3w | yeah irssi is too pwnage :/ | 01:54 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, run dmesg | grep hda_intel and see if there are errors /post to pastie | 01:54 |
| kr3w | irssi craps up DCC resumes though | 01:55 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: there are scripts that will make it look like mIRC if you want.. | 01:55 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: i have 4 options, HDA Intel ALC663 Analog, HDA Intel ALC663 Digital, HDA Intel ALC663 Digital IEC958... , Jack Audio Connection Kit | 01:55 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: Ok leme do that | 01:55 |
| whiter | im trying to modify the command ran on a menu item (skpe) by starting it with this command "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype" how can i edit the ubuntu applications menu entry to reflect that? when i just type it in the "command" field it fails to start | 01:55 |
| leader | hi all | 01:55 |
| kr3w | .le: yo | 01:56 |
| kr3w | hmm | 01:56 |
| Scunizi | sunny0422: analog if you have standard speakers | 01:56 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Might this be related? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480429 | 01:56 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, i'm not sure you're looking in the right place there are thing like 'Analog Stereo' | 01:56 |
| kr3w | how does the nick complete work? | 01:56 |
| moetunes | whiter: tried to do it without the && ? | 01:56 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: type the first few characters and hit TAB | 01:56 |
| whiter | i need the && though | 01:56 |
| kr3w | ah got it | 01:57 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: "Profiles" should be right below the hardware devices you just listed off. | 01:57 |
| kr3w | Scunizi: think it's good | 01:57 |
| kr3w | hah | 01:57 |
| kr3w | lol | 01:57 |
| Scunizi | kr3w: yep! :) | 01:57 |
| moetunes | whiter: that should be one command tho | 01:57 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth, not sure | 01:57 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: i cant find hardware devices one sec leme give u a screen shot | 01:57 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Thanks, that's immensely helpful. :) | 01:58 |
| whiter | no, it's two. i export that value, then start skype | 01:58 |
| Mixxit | onetinsoldier, hey im at the point where my drivers are installed and im wondering about glx :-) | 01:58 |

| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: roger. did you install mesa-utils? try.. glxinf | 01:58 |
| moetunes | whiter: you export the value for the command skype afaik | 01:58 |
| Mixxit | i did bud | 01:58 |
| Mixxit | get a big table | 01:58 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: glxinfo | 01:58 |
| whiter | if i remove the && it doesn't work either. | 01:59 |
| moetunes | whiter: you said it doesn't work i\for a launch... | 01:59 |
| Inu | upgraded from koala to lynx and network is disabled. no ping, updates, nothing. ifconfig -a shows modem and says interrupt 29. it sees the modem but can't access it. tried going to system>admin>hardware drivers when i click on that i get 'can't connect to dbus' error message... help? | 01:59 |
| whiter | when i click Skype in the menu, it doesn't work. | 01:59 |
| unop | whiter, create a script and place that in your ~/bin/ directory? | 01:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: ok, roger.. what does it say near the very top? for --> direct rendering: | 01:59 |
| whiter | i just want to start skype that way, is there no way to do it? | 01:59 |
| whiter | through the menu? | 02:00 |
| iflema | whiter out it in ya .bashrc file | 02:00 |
| eye-zak | Inu: try logging out and back in or restarting, dbus should not give that error | 02:00 |
| whiter | right. | 02:00 |
| Mixxit | onetinsoldier, : http://www.pastebin.org/268783 | 02:00 |
| unop | whiter, a script allows you to do whatever you want before launching skype | 02:00 |
| whiter | yes but im not trying to write a script | 02:00 |
| whiter | for one command | 02:00 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: no. you don't have it. no glx | 02:00 |
| Inu | eye-zak, I've restarted like 5 times, cause i have to go on windows to get support here lol. | 02:00 |
| unop | whiter, fine, suit yourself | 02:00 |
| Mixxit | ok what package do i need to install? | 02:00 |
| Inu | same thing happens | 02:01 |
| whiter | i just want to click the Skype icon in my menu and have it start. i shouldn't have to write a script to do that i dont think.. | 02:01 |
| Inu | i think i may have installed wrong but don't know where | 02:01 |
| eye-zak | Inu: haven't worked with modems in ubuntu, but hardware-drivers is jockey-gtk | 02:02 |
| Mixxit | nvidia-glx-96? | 02:02 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: i don't know. i'm not really that knowledgeable with X | 02:02 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: try running it again after doing this command --> LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose | 02:02 |
| sunny0422 | flickr stinks | 02:02 |
| moetunes | whiter: does right clicking the menu let you edit it? | 02:03 |
| sunny0422 | takes freeking forever | 02:03 |
| whiter | yes it does | 02:03 |
| Inu | If i just delete everything and reinstall do you think it would fix it? | 02:03 |
| unop | whiter, not all scripts do complex, arcane things like cure world poverty or rid it off cancer - they can be used for just the kind of requirements you have -- a single line wrapper that deviates from the norm. | 02:03 |
| whiter | im aware of that. | 02:03 |

| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: you'd probably be best off asking the channel how to get it working. let them know what video card you have, and what nvidia driver you have installed, ect. | 02:04 |
| Mixxit | okies | 02:04 |
| Mixxit | one sec just trying this other driver | 02:04 |
| Mixxit | and thanks man! | 02:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: sure, you're welcome | 02:05 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Oy, okay, Kubuntu. | 02:05 |
| kr3w | kubuntu was so garbage. | 02:05 |
| kr3w | felt like killing myself after a day | 02:05 |
| jjnorth | kr3w: Not that I disagree, but someone's still using it and can use some help. ;) | 02:05 |
| rascal999 | i have an nfsroot serving os to clients, i'd like to make it read only, how do i do this? | 02:05 |
| whiter | unop: i'm aware of that. but in the menu editor theres a field that says "Command:" why cant i just put what i want it to do there? versus writing a script. | 02:05 |
| kr3w | yeah haha | 02:05 |
| manchester | Try xubuntu fast as lightning | 02:05 |
| usr13 | kr3w: So, you | 02:06 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: its just different interface right? | 02:06 |
| kr3w | i tried xubuntu for a day too | 02:06 |
| iflema | whiter if you type the export command into a terminal, does skype work fot the rest of the session, without it/until next reboot? | 02:06 |
| usr13 | kr3w: So, you're saying you don't much like KDE? | 02:06 |
| kr3w | was worst than the kubuntu | 02:06 |
| kr3w | :/ | 02:06 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: And different tools... | 02:06 |

| sunny0422 | jjnorth: oh, how do i fix this problem in my os? | 02:06 |
| kr3w | usr13: i don't like it, nope, sorry! | 02:06 |
| iflema | whiter so put the export command in ya .bashrc file.... the way its supposed to be done | 02:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Mixxit: just in case you need to find out what nvidia packages you have installed, do --> dpkg -l '*nvidia*' | grep ^ii | 02:06 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Not sure offhand, but I'm looking for equivalents now. | 02:07 |
| goundy | eye-zak, it's thunderbird 3 man... he's messing up my system... | 02:07 |
| Mixxit | looks like i installed the normal non glx driver | 02:07 |

| usr13 | kr3w: Well, stick with what you like.... | 02:07 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: No problem. | 02:07 |
| eye-zak | goundy, hmm never used thunderbird ... | 02:07 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: btw would it solve the problem if i just reinstall with simple ubuntu? | 02:07 |
| goundy | eye-zak, what do you use for mails? | 02:07 |
| kr3w | usr13: trust me, i did. used all 3 for a day and my choice has been made | 02:07 |
| jjnorth | Inu: I think it'd mess up more than it might help, but I'll hold off on anything final until eye-zak comments. | 02:07 |
| eye-zak | Inu: that's about all i can suggest, do nothing special in the install .. get it to boot and then have at it | 02:07 |
| eye-zak | goundy, nothing client-side | 02:08 |
| jjnorth | OH, wait, modem install? | 02:08 |
| kr3w | usr13: the amount of modifications i had to make to each to make it look the way i enjoy, GNOME was the best | 02:08 |
| goundy | eye-zak, okay ;) | 02:08 |
| airtonix | iflema, is it not true that the bashrc file is only read when you first open a terminal after logging in ? | 02:08 |
| Inu | yeah, jjjnorth | 02:08 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: I'm confusing myself now, I'll stop butting in. ;) | 02:08 |

| bart_ | has anyone out there gotten a X-Fi extreme Audio to work? | 02:08 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth, lol | 02:08 |
| usr13 | kr3w: xfce is pretty good. | 02:08 |
| kr3w | yeah it was | 02:08 |
| kr3w | better than KDE | 02:09 |
| iflema | airtonix no | 02:09 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: It'd help relevance to this channel, but I don't see where it'd necessarily fix the sound card. | 02:09 |
| sunny0422 | yea im having the same feeling, KDE sucks, too heavy as well might as well do simple Gnome | 02:09 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: So I'd hold off for the moment. | 02:09 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: ok | 02:10 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: I'm gonna guess and say "Multimedia" here. | 02:10 |
| onetinsoldier | kde is very pretty though | 02:10 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, if you want to install gnome apps, you can install pavucontrol | 02:10 |

| whiter | but thanks anyway | 02:10 |
| toolbear | help! made custom ubuntu live cd, but it can't detect hard disk! what can i do to fix this problem? | 02:10 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: gotcha | 02:10 |
| airtonix | unop, iflema ah which is not the ~/.bashrc | 02:11 |
| bart_ | toolbear: what kind of hard disk? | 02:11 |

| bart_ | toolbear: are you using an on-board raid controller? | 02:12 |
| sunny0422 | eye-zak: ok installing it noe | 02:12 |

| eye-zak | sunny0422, hmm no pulseaudio on dbus ... sorry but no KDE experience so can't help but suggest #kubuntu channel or install gnome | 02:15 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak re: sunny0422: Hardware issue? | 02:15 |
| toolbear | usr13, bart_: anyways, it is detecting my usb drive without any problem, but i don't even have /dev/sdb (/dev/sda is now the usb drive) or /dev/hda | 02:15 |
| usr13 | toolbear: Try pastebin.com | 02:15 |
| bart_ | toolbear: is this a brabd new disk? or are there other partitions on it already | 02:15 |
| eye-zak | goundy, see upstart-job wiki | 02:15 |

| sunny0422 | eye-zak: cant be it was running fine on windows | 02:15 |
| goundy | eye-zak, thanks ;) | 02:15 |
| unop | airtonix, errm no.. "~/.bash_profile or ~./bash_login - If one of these file exist, bash executes it rather then "~/.profile" ..." -- the bash manpage concurs too | 02:15 |
| kr3w | especially if the hardware is already amazing | 02:15 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, run pactl list from the command line | 02:15 |
| kr3w | going from single disk that is | 02:15 |
| toolbear | usr13: um, really? i thought it gave a pop-up just saying that you are supposed to type in "linux" for both usr and password. anyways, i'll put it at pastebin | 02:15 |
| whiter | iflema: what would i put in .bashrc just "export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" ? | 02:15 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Well that failed, I meant to address that comment to eye-zak about a possible hardware issue. | 02:16 |
| eye-zak | sunny0422, it's not hardware, your card shows up in alsa and kernel pci | 02:16 |

| gartral | kr3w: IF it works anything like 2007 did, you need many of the mscvp dlls from windows (master service controls) and also i forget where, but theres a directory of DLLs that handle encrypted file executions | 02:16 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: And subsequently answered. | 02:16 |

| Nick07 | hello | 02:16 |
| jahc | I got a question.. does Ubuntu Netbook remix still have that default netbook style UI that cant be switched over to the full desktop style UI? | 02:16 |
| kr3w | gartral: i installed office 2k7 right from installation files from latest stock wine | 02:16 |
| whiter | well unop, what should i do? | 02:16 |
| Nick07 | im having a bad day with grub | 02:16 |
| kr3w | gartral: this was yesterday, made 0 modifications | 02:16 |
| charlieS | jahc: you could always switch it to the normal gnome desktop. | 02:16 |
| jahc | UNR 9.04 was perfect because I could turn off the netbook style UI | 02:16 |
| sunny0422 | urg.. leme just install ubuntu, life would be easier brb in 10 mins | 02:17 |
| toolbear | bart_: about 1/2 year old, there are other partitions. in fact, ubuntu (lucid) does recognize the hard disk, but only on the "official" live cd and on my hard disk installation. i'm using a different live cd now, one that i put mostly the same packages on as I have on my hard disk install | 02:17 |
| jahc | when i upgraded to 9.10 I couldnt figure out how to change back to the normal UI | 02:17 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: One sec | 02:17 |
| Nick07 | could use the help | 02:17 |
| jahc | now I want to get the latest 10.x whatever it is :) I dont want to waste time. should I grab the netbook remix or the standard version? my netbook has a 7" screen | 02:17 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Might alsa be interfering somehow? | 02:17 |

| eye-zak | kr3w, what window manager | 02:18 |
| Nick07 | try to fix the boot problem but no go | 02:18 |

| cornbreadly | I have a quick sd card reader question. Are some card readers limited to what size media they can read? I have a 2gb that is fine and a 4gb that doesnt show. lsusb finds the reader. | 02:18 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth, could be incompatible alsa state | 02:18 |
| unop | whiter, well, there's two things - 1. edit the .desktop file for skype (/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop) and change the Exec= string or 2. create a script in ~/bin/ that runs your command | 02:18 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: btw is ubuntu ultimate edition considered ubuntu itself? | 02:18 |
| gartral | kr3w: i HATE MS products, if a workplace needs it, i load it in a vm under xp. | 02:18 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, there is a plugin for that in compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:18 |
| kr3w | gartral: ah you walk around with that bias, okay then | 02:18 |
| bazhang | sunny0422, no | 02:18 |
| myrl | kr3w idk | 02:18 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: thanks! | 02:19 |
| Nick07 | need grub help 10.04 lts | 02:19 |
| sunny0422 | bazhang: DAM! | 02:19 |
| toolbear | usr13: ok, http://pastebin.com/2g8dMGmx | 02:19 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: | 02:19 |
| Nick07 | please | 02:19 |
| jjnorth | Whoops, sorry. | 02:19 |
| gartral | kr3w: what can Office 2010 do that openoffice cant? | 02:19 |
| whiter | unop: does the .desktop file also apply to the Skype entry in the Applications menu? because thats where i launch it from. | 02:19 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: If you run 'xterm -e alsamixer' what do you get? | 02:19 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: do you know what the plugin/setting is called? i can't spot it | 02:19 |
| eye-zak | gartral, cost $$$ | 02:19 |

| eye-zak | kr3w, Move | 02:20 |
| sunny0422 | this wierd looking volume control | 02:20 |
| kr3w | move where? | 02:20 |
| sunny0422 | ill take a screenshot | 02:20 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, "Move Window" under Window Management | 02:20 |
| unop | whiter, yes, the menu entry runs the .desktop file actually -- which in turn calls the skype program (as set out in the Exec= line in the .desktop file) | 02:20 |
| kr3w | oh lol | 02:20 |
| whiter | unop: thanks | 02:20 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Master, Headphon, and PCM are all filled in (at least partially)? | 02:21 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: yes | 02:21 |
| MACscr | hmm, anyone ever mess with their freedesktop.org.xml file so that they can modify syntax recognition in gedit? I just make a change to make .tpl use php syntax, then ran sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime, but there still is no syntax highlighting going on | 02:21 |

| eye-zak | kr3w, you set Opacity to less than 100 ? | 02:22 |
| sunny0422 | default, 0 HDA Intel , enter device name... | 02:22 |
| whiter | unop: just to test, i changed the application the .desktop file should launch, and i clicked the menu entry. it still launched skype... | 02:22 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: *slaps self* | 02:22 |
| bart_ | toolbar: if you load gparted or the disk utility does it see the disk? | 02:22 |
| usr13 | toolbear: Well, it appears you were wrong. It does seem to be recognizing one hard disk drive: "/dev/sda: 4007 MB, 4007624704 bytes" | 02:22 |
| toolbear | bart_: nope | 02:22 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Okay, so down arrow key to "0 HDA Intel" and hit enter, the first three bars are mostly solid? | 02:22 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: there it goes | 02:22 |
| toolbear | usr13: no, that's my usb drive! | 02:22 |
| unop | whiter, what should it have launched instead? | 02:22 |
| whiter | eclipse | 02:23 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, and lots of fun ensues | 02:23 |

| bart_ | toolbar: does an unmodified live cd see the drive propperly? | 02:23 |
| toolbear | usr13: desktop | 02:23 |
| unop | whiter, did you change the menu entry at all? such as editing it while trying things out? | 02:23 |
| onetinsoldier | mixxit: well, you have it now! | 02:23 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, try the following focus transparency it really works now, and can blacklist media players and such | 02:23 |
| whiter | unop: no | 02:23 |
| sunny0422 | i sent u the screen shot, some have mm some dont | 02:24 |
| mixxit | woohoo! | 02:24 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Oh wow, headphones not showing up... hrm, shouldn't be an issue though... | 02:24 |
| mixxit | thanks! | 02:24 |

| mixxit | so i am good for gl now? | 02:24 |

| onetinsoldier | mixxit: yes | 02:24 |

| mixxit | fantastic! | 02:24 |
| toolbear | usr13: yep | 02:24 |
| whiter | unop: i see what the problem is.. | 02:24 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Well, that should do it, have you tried opening a local music file? | 02:24 |
| unop | whiter, what does the Exec line say in the .desktop file now? | 02:24 |
| unop | whiter, you do? | 02:24 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, there is a plugin that increases transparency of windows as you switch from them to new ones | 02:25 |
| whiter | unop: yes. i edited it earlier, but i clicked revert to original and it changed to eclipse. | 02:25 |
| sunny0422 | the radio is playing already with amrok | 02:25 |
| airtonix | eye-zak, its not a dedicated plugin that does that. | 02:25 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Escape to close that alsamixer, incidentally. ;) | 02:25 |
| sunny0422 | no sound tho | 02:25 |
| xangua | eye-zak: yes, install compiz settings manager to configure them | 02:25 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, Trailfocus | 02:25 |
| unop | whiter, right, so things are working as expected now? | 02:25 |

| kr3w | eye-zak: don't have that one | 02:25 |
| usr13 | toolbear: Could there be a hardware problem? Is the drive plugged in good? Is the data cable plugged in and the power cable as well? | 02:25 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: under window management? | 02:25 |
| airtonix | kr3w, you need to install more compiz plugins | 02:26 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, maybe install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 02:26 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: It was working in Karmic, right? | 02:26 |

| goundy | eye-zak, I've read the wiki page, doesn't say much it says to read man initctl, and the man doesn't say how to remove mysql from autostart ^^ | 02:26 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, under Effects | 02:26 |
| unop | !boot | goundy | 02:26 |
| ubottu | goundy: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 02:26 |
| sunny0422 | ok i see the problem | 02:26 |
| eye-zak | goundy, remove mysql.conf in /etc/init and make sure u did update-rc.d -f remove mysql | 02:26 |
| sunny0422 | the sound is playing through laptops player | 02:26 |
| sunny0422 | but | 02:26 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: trailfocus right | 02:26 |
| mixxit | onetinsoldier, omg it works! | 02:27 |
| sunny0422 | its not playing when i plug something in | 02:27 |
| eye-zak | goundy, but that is really hackish | 02:27 |
| mixxit | onetinsoldier, legend matey thanks | 02:27 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, enjoy | 02:27 |
| sunny0422 | im guessing a different device is not being caught | 02:27 |
| mixxit | have a great night all, one happy user here :) | 02:27 |
| goundy | eye-zak, I removed mysql.conf now, and yes I kicked it from rc I hop it's gonna work. Thank you man | 02:27 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Yeah, the alsamixer results seemed to indicate that nothing's showing up on that headphone jack. | 02:27 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: holy crap! | 02:27 |
| whiter | unop: now it says "Failed to execute child process "export" (No such file or directory)" which is my original problem | 02:27 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, lol | 02:27 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: how do i fix that? | 02:27 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: dude! like | 02:27 |
| sunny0422 | jjnorth: drivers needed? | 02:27 |
| kr3w | WOW | 02:27 |
| unop | whiter, what does the Exec line say in the .desktop file now? "export" only applies to bash | 02:27 |
| kr3w | am i too easily impressed or is that impressive | 02:28 |
| toolbear | usr13: it's possible, but there never has been a hardware problem, and there wasn't one before i booted into this live cd... | 02:28 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, it was buggy for a while but suprise, suprise it is really good in lucid | 02:28 |
| whiter | unop: export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype | 02:28 |
| unop | whiter, no, you would change the Exec line to something like. Exec=XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype | 02:28 |
| eye-zak | unop, whiter i think you need env VAR=value in a desktop file | 02:29 |
| unop | eye-zak, you can set one prior to invoking the command | 02:29 |
| whiter | unop: that doesn't work. | 02:29 |
| compaq | Alright, I am coming back to ubuntu, I can't get flash playing in debian | 02:30 |
| whiter | eye-zak: i dont know what to put | 02:30 |
| kr3w | eye-zak: dude thank you for telling me that, it's very cool | 02:30 |
| goundy | eye-zak, ... I removed /etc/init/mysql.conf and it's fucked up... Mysql doesn't start anymore :'( | 02:30 |
| goundy | start: Unknown job: mysql | 02:30 |
| SirStan | Has anyone hacked the dell latitude "on" system to do anything cool? | 02:30 |
| unop | whiter, does this work from the shell? XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype | 02:30 |
| goundy | man... what have I done ? | 02:30 |
| eye-zak | whiter, env XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype | 02:30 |
| cornbreadly | where can I go to trouble shoot a card reader? Ubuntuforums people havent replied yet. | 02:30 |
| whiter | unop: no. but it does with export in front of it | 02:30 |
| unop | whiter, no, forget the export, that only applies to bash | 02:31 |
| eye-zak | goundy, sorry i thought that was your goal, reinstall mysql to get it back, use update-rc.d to manage runlevels i think | 02:31 |
| eye-zak | unop: do .desktop files run in a shell, i thought they didn't | 02:31 |
| goundy | eye-zak, If I reinstall it I lose all my tables... | 02:31 |
| unop | whiter, i just tried this command out - and it works fine. | 02:31 |
| cba123 | I installed Tracker on Lucid, and I can't seem to get it started. Even when I enable indexing, it doesn't start at all. Any ideas? | 02:31 |
| goundy | eye-zak, you fucked me up :) | 02:32 |
| eye-zak | goundy, you can extract the file from the mysql package using dpkg -x <package>.deb destdir | 02:32 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: do --> sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.1 | 02:32 |
| whiter | unop: works from the shell, doesn't work in the .desktop file. | 02:32 |
| goundy | onetinsoldier, it's gonna keep my tables ? | 02:32 |
| goundy | *databases | 02:32 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: sorry, just read you'd lose you stuff | 02:32 |
| eye-zak | goundy, if it's not in /var/cache/apt/archives use apt-get -d install --reinstall mysql | 02:32 |
| eye-zak | goundy, this will download but not install mysql | 02:33 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: i don't know if you lose tham or not. do you know the filenames they are stored in? | 02:33 |
| toolbear | usr13: ok, i'm now on ubuntu booted from my hard drive, so there is no hardware problem | 02:33 |
| goundy | no idea | 02:33 |
| goundy | ... | 02:33 |
| goundy | guys nevermind I'm pissed off... I'll look after this later... | 02:33 |
| goundy | Honnestly, canonical is starting doing shit here | 02:33 |
| goundy | karmic was really good | 02:33 |

| bazhang | kr3w, no | 02:34 |
| whiter | unop: thanks | 02:34 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: hey. keep in mind it's not Lucid's fault you deleted /etc/init/mysql.conf ;-) | 02:34 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp* /dev/audio* /dev/mixer* /dev/seq* /dev/snd/* | 02:34 |
| kr3w | thought i saw that on the ubuntu website | 02:34 |
| unop | whiter, yea? I was just going to suggest changing Terminal=1 in the .desktop file | 02:34 |
| jjnorth | sunny0422: Then post the results to a pastebin or something. | 02:34 |
| bazhang | kr3w, check the topic in this channel | 02:34 |
| goundy | onetinsoldier, no I know, but why adding this upstart thing ? which works for mysql and not postgresql yet | 02:35 |
| whiter | unop: i wasnt being very clear sorry | 02:35 |
| goundy | I mean why adding complication to linux ? | 02:35 |
| unop | whiter, what was the problem? just so I know. | 02:35 |
| goundy | This isn't how we're gonna end up with a Linux that is as user friendly as proprietary software</TROLL> | 02:35 |
| whiter | unop: i just needed to set that enviornment variable before starting skype. env did it. | 02:35 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: roger. i hear you. i don't have the answers | 02:35 |
| goundy | heh | 02:35 |
| kr3w | hmm i see it is released, okay | 02:35 |
| goundy | I guess, that's the way it is | 02:35 |
| kr3w | i guess that's what the kernel update was | 02:35 |
| unop | whiter, well, if you've exported the variable very generally -- it can affect other applications, like i said already, and be problematic | 02:36 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: there is a way to get that .conf file out of the .deb package | 02:36 |
| whiter | unop: nothing else seems to work.. | 02:37 |
| goundy | onetinsoldier, I asked somebody to give me his. I'm trying it to see if it goes on | 02:37 |
| toolbear | usr13: actually, i'm now running the live cd in qemu, and it can detect the hard disk just fine...(i'm using "qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -hda /dev/sda") | 02:37 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: roger, good luck | 02:37 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: Dammit, looked like there might be a solution, too. :( | 02:37 |
| goundy | onetinsoldier, it worked ! | 02:37 |
| toolbear | usr13: so, evidently, the live cd works just fine when it's in an emulator, but not when i actually boot off of it... | 02:37 |
| goundy | ouuuh... I'm relax now | 02:37 |
| goundy | thanks for all guys | 02:37 |
| onetinsoldier | goundy: sweet :-) | 02:37 |

| pokeh | Hey! I use Gnome-Do and Rythmbox. Specifically, the Gnome-Do function to search for and play Rythmbox songs. It has indexed the songs, they are searchable, except all the songs are *wrong*. Let's say I tell Gnome-Do to play "Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da" by the Beatles. Instead, rythmbox will play some other (consistent) random song, like different artist, everything. Anyone know why this is/how to fix? | 02:38 |
| jjnorth | eye-zak: soft-modem driver. Useless if you don't ever use dial-up. | 02:38 |
| toolbear | usr13: well, thanks for your help anyways | 02:38 |
| onetinsoldier | kr3w: sure. if your hardware supports booting from a usb stick | 02:39 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, it boots off of a usb stick if u just install it on the stick | 02:39 |
| kr3w | also i don't understand how my ubuntu is taking up 89 gigs :/ | 02:39 |
| unop | whiter, let me try this out on my .desktop file | 02:39 |
| * jjnorth blinks | 02:39 | |
| whiter | unop: k | 02:39 |
| xangua | pokeh: no idea, the latest time i tried do worked fine, have you asked in #gnome-do channel''¿ | 02:39 |
| onetinsoldier | kr3w: that's pretty unusual. are you sure? you might be looking at something wrong | 02:39 |
| pokeh | xangua: Didn't know there was an IRC for it! Is it on freenode? | 02:40 |
| eye-zak | kr3w, very unusual | 02:40 |
| kr3w | right click file system drive, click properties, says it at the bottom | 02:40 |
| jjnorth | kr3w: Is that using one drive for everything, or downloading the whole of the repositories? | 02:40 |
| kr3w | right place to check? | 02:40 |
| ScatterBrain | guys/gals, how does one adjust the screen resolution in Lucid? I no longer can find "System/Preferences/Display". | 02:40 |

| kr3w | everything related is used for this | 02:40 |

| === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log | ||
| eye-zak | whiter, afaik only core duo's were 32 bit | 02:41 |
| whiter | thats what i thought | 02:41 |
| kr3w | 10.1 nvm | 02:41 |
| jjnorth | kr3w: Sure there's not a decimal in there somewhere? | 02:41 |
| kr3w | k | 02:41 |
| ScatterBrain | xangua: thanks. | 02:41 |
| onetinsoldier | kr3w: run this command and tell me what it says at the bottom of the 'Used' column --> df --total -h | 02:41 |
| kr3w | this thing is worst at counting than windows | 02:41 |
| jjnorth | kr3w: Nevermind, lol. | 02:41 |
| kr3w | maybe cause of the swap partition | 02:41 |
| usr13 | kr3w: Are you talking about how much Hard Drive space is actually being used? (Or how much you've allocated for the OS...) | 02:41 |
| whiter | eye-zak: someone told me it was 64 but i wasnt aware | 02:41 |
| kr3w | it's a 500 gig drive, reads 441 total | 02:41 |
| kr3w | where'd the rest go? | 02:41 |
| kr3w | swap? | 02:42 |
| jjnorth | SAE > Metric. | 02:42 |
| usr13 | kr3w: What does df -h say? | 02:42 |
| jjnorth | Or however that goes. | 02:42 |
| eye-zak | whiter, i switched my laptop from core duo to core 2 duo for the x64 | 02:42 |
| kr3w | usr13: don't understand how to get to that or do that | 02:42 |
| onetinsoldier | kr3w: run this command and tell me what it says at the bottom of the 'Used' column --> df --total -h | 02:42 |
| usr13 | kr3w: Open a terminal window and type df -h and hit enter. | 02:42 |
| kr3w | /dev/sdb1 442G 11G 410G 3% / | 02:42 |
| jjnorth | onetinsoldier: Surely, you mean "xterm -e df --total -h", as... yeah. | 02:43 |
| kr3w | 442G | 02:43 |
| whiter | eye-zak: Core 2 Duo T5250 is what i got | 02:43 |
| kr3w | but it's a 500G drive | 02:43 |

| jjnorth | rascal999: Very carefully. | 02:45 |

| fqh | Hi all, what is the name of NVIDIA private driver? | 02:45 |
| usr13 | rascal999: You make new filesystems on partitions, not directories. | 02:45 |
| patx | how could i add an Shut Down button to a submenu of my gnome menu? | 02:45 |
| eye-zak | fqh: use jockey-gtk or jockey-text to install nvidia drivers | 02:45 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: how do i loop-back a directory? | 02:46 |
| kr3w | usr13: pm | 02:46 |
| xangua | patx: removing indicator session applet | 02:46 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, loopback is a filesystem in a file so you need a blank file first run dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/output bs=1M count=<as many megs as you want> | 02:46 |
| jjnorth | patx: Where exactly do you want it? | 02:46 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, then run mkfs on the file .. it will warn but continue | 02:47 |
| patx | jjnorth, in the Other menu | 02:47 |
| rascal999 | i could just get to the root of the problem. I'd like to make an nfsroot serving diskless clients read only | 02:48 |
| rascal999 | but i can't do this without problems | 02:48 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, not sure about diskless clients at all what does it need | 02:48 |
| Empty_foo | how can I turn off the nag that want's me to upgrade to 10.04? | 02:48 |
| jjnorth | patx: Got it. | 02:48 |
| patx | yea? | 02:49 |
| jjnorth | patx: Does it need any special icon? | 02:49 |
| patx | nah | 02:49 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: i'd like diskless clients to boot off nfsroot, and any changes they need to make written to ram | 02:49 |
| rascal999 | union fs | 02:49 |
| eye-zak | Empty_foo, let me tell you that both sound and usb were broken due to kernel driver bug fo mee | 02:49 |
| jjnorth | patx: Let me test it real quick, brb | 02:49 |
| patx | jjnorth, ok ty | 02:49 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, ok this is a bit complex ... u need an overlay filesystem .. i would say aufs but i believe my server crashes are due to aufs so that's a nono | 02:49 |
| unop | whiter, strange, editing the .desktop file that way doesn't seem to work -- but calling a script is a work-around and that works fine. | 02:50 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, oh sorry i see unionfs .. so you need a tmpfs and a writable directory that union fs will use for backing ... it's ok if it is read-write on the server | 02:50 |
| whiter | unop: i have no idea how to do that though, that's why i was trying to avoid it | 02:50 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, you may be able to bind mount a directory read-only however, just not sure | 02:51 |
| Mene-Mene | Where might I find a list of major new features 9.10>10.04? | 02:51 |
| jjnorth | patx: Ready? | 02:52 |
| patx | yea | 02:52 |
| unop | whiter, simple. create a file called skype in your ~/bin/ directory and place these lines in .. export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype | 02:52 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, sorry i forgot most union filesystems will not work with NFS due to duplicate inodes | 02:52 |
| jjnorth | patx: Okay, what I did, was make a launcher to run the command from the Main Menu. | 02:52 |
| unop | whiter, then make the script executable with this command. chmod +x ~/bin/skype | 02:52 |
| unop | whiter, that's it | 02:52 |
| patx | jjnorth, ok, what command? | 02:52 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: atm /etc/fstab on os which is http://pastebin.com/A8KbFzgN | 02:52 |
| jjnorth | patx: System > Preferences > Main Menu, click "Other", click "Add Item". | 02:53 |
| whiter | unop: i see, thanks | 02:53 |
| unop | whiter, actually, change that command to what you had i.e. with the && | 02:53 |
| whiter | k | 02:53 |

| bart_ | I am trying to install build-essentials and keeps asking for a CD | 02:53 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: yeah | 02:53 |
| patx | jjnorth, ok thanks! | 02:53 |
| bart_ | Asks for the live CD but with a different label than the ISO burn creates | 02:54 |
| jjnorth | patx: Should work from there, it'll ask for your root password to authorize the shutdown, then halt. | 02:54 |
| xangua | bart_: unmark the cd from system>administration>software origins | 02:54 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, ok sorry i was a bit confused ... this will probably require some custom hacks to the boot scripts | 02:54 |
| jjnorth | patx: You're certainly welcome. :) | 02:54 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, i have done this before for aufs, i can give you my code ... it's not for your target and needs nfs put in ... most of it was inspired by casper | 02:55 |
| jjnorth | patx: Note the single quotes have to be there, or it simply won't work. | 02:55 |
| patx | yea i got it its working | 02:55 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, basically you need to boot like nfsroot, with extra parameters for your script which will mount nfs somewhere and tmfs somewhere and union them together for the rootfs | 02:55 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: yeah i've been trying casper and nfs, both hit dead ends with customization and read only fs | 02:55 |
| patx | you know where the icon would be by any change (the red button?) | 02:56 |
| bart_ | That did it... weird.. i dont recall setting that | 02:56 |
| jjnorth | patx: Okay, well, glad to help out. | 02:56 |
| rascal999 | well, with casper you can unsquashfs, but it's such a pain to do | 02:56 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, how do u distribute initramfs, or don't you for this type of setup ? | 02:56 |
| jjnorth | patx: I'll take a peak around. | 02:56 |
| patx | jjnorth, ^^ | 02:56 |
| patx | ok thanks! | 02:56 |
| GeekSquid | bart_: # remove the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list for cdrom | 02:56 |
| whiter | unop: i'm stupid. i should have thought of that earlier | 02:56 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: for nfsroot i've got netboot for modules and boot | 02:56 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, casper is too bloated for what u want ... but the initscripts may have something for union mounts but i doubt it | 02:57 |
| bart_ | GeekSquid: the CD was selected as an install source... unselecting it fixed it | 02:57 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, i'm not familar with how the netboot works but if your rootfs is unavailable you get an initramfs prompt, yes ? | 02:57 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: yeah | 02:57 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, so you are going to need to change the contents of that initramfs and add a custom nfs-union init script | 02:58 |
| rascal999 | eye-zak: oh | 02:58 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, you pass init=<name of your initscript> to kernel so it knows what to run in the initramfs | 02:58 |
| unop | whiter, well, i did recommend that from the very start .. but you were against the idea. | 02:58 |
| whiter | unop: i didnt understand what you meant by script... when you say script i think other things | 02:59 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, your script will get called and it will have the responsibility of mounting the rootfs on /target i believe | 02:59 |
| unop | whiter, well, now you know :) | 02:59 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, i would start with the nfs init script, copy it and add some small code to mount a (limited size) tmpfs somewhere .. change the nfs mountpoint and then union them together | 03:00 |
| eye-zak | rascal999, vm's are your friend | 03:00 |
| franc | You are all good people. All of you, every single one of you. | 03:00 |

| Guest63409 | in what dialog? I use pppoeconf to diale DSL | 03:38 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, i've never used ppoeconf ... not sure if there is something it does that nm doesn't ... | 03:38 |
| compaq | jjnorth, I know, I had the same problems, but I switched to debian, I am testing right now, seems fine to me | 03:38 |
| jjnorth | compaq: I thought it sounded familiar. | 03:38 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, network-manager-applet -> edit connections, dsl tab (one on the left) | 03:39 |
| pcgeek32147 | how do i find my video card driver slhw did not work | 03:39 |
| compaq | jjnorth, lsmod will show you the driver you are running | 03:39 |
| Chymera | hi, do you guys know of any freely available cms for software development, like some Software configuration management thing? | 03:39 |
| jjnorth | compaq: It's a "can't fix" within the distro, and that's more a 3D concern iirc. | 03:39 |
| Johnny_101 | जय भारत | 03:39 |
| compaq | pcgeek32147, lsmod | 03:39 |
| onetinsoldier | pcgeek32147: it's... lshw | 03:39 |
| onetinsoldier | pcgeek32147: do --> lshw -C display | 03:39 |
| jjnorth | compaq: Debian may well have fixed it, and it's yet to be committed back. | 03:39 |
| compaq | jjnorth, no, they just didn't blacklist it, Ubuntu people will have it soon though | 03:40 |
| Guest63409 | in the past nm icon disapear, maybe it is confilict with pppoeconf | 03:40 |
| eye-zak | jjnorth, it could also be a kernel bug that is not present in debian (some buggy intel code needed to be removed for my atom board to boot) | 03:40 |
| compaq | debian is way older than Ubuntu, debian uses the oldest packages out of all distros out there | 03:40 |
| Guest63409 | <eye-zak> int the past nm icon disapeart, maybe it is confilict with pppoeconf? | 03:40 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, make sure no connections in /etc/network/interfaces for your card (again never used pppoeconf) | 03:40 |
| jmcantrell | is there a ppa for the kernel? i want to try something past .32 | 03:41 |
| jjnorth | Wait, when did *I* start having trouble with Brookdale? What just happened? | 03:41 |
| onetinsoldier | jmcantrell: yes.. not sure where it's at, but i've seen one for a 2.6.34-rc7 kernel | 03:41 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, try killall nm-applet and then run nm-applet if it really crashed (btw what ubuntu version) | 03:41 |
| jmcantrell | onetinsoldier: do you know how to set it up? | 03:41 |
| jjnorth | compaq: I thought *you* were having issues with Brookdale, after discerning that we weren't talking about pcgeek32147's card. Did I miss something? | 03:42 |
| onetinsoldier | jmcantrell: what do you mean? it's .deb, so you just install it | 03:42 |
| Guest63409 | now I haved delete everything in the file of /etc/network/interfaces, let it as a empte file | 03:42 |
| Guest63409 | <eye-zak>, now I haved delete everything in the file of /etc/network/interfaces, let it as a empte file | 03:42 |
| compaq | I went and bought another agp, and put it in, and installed proprietary nvidia drivers. It was horrible, my case was left open, cause it is small form factor, and use the card didn't fit with the case on, and on top of that, my cpu was running so high all the time | 03:42 |
| jmcantrell | onetinsoldier: that's not really a ppa. | 03:42 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, no .. just make sure there is no ifconfig <ethdev> section for your network card | 03:42 |
| jjnorth | compaq: In other words, yes. Yes, I did miss something. | 03:43 |
| compaq | Then I remembered that long time ago, when I was running debian on this computer, I ran compiz, so I tried again, and sure enough, it installed and so far it running goood | 03:43 |
| onetinsoldier | jmcantrell: oh, i know what you mean now. no, i don't really | 03:43 |
| greezmunkey | Guest63409: You should leave auto lo in there | 03:43 |
| Johnny_101 | hi guys. | 03:43 |
| compaq | It runs, but it crashes sometimes, so Ubuntu blacklisted it. But it seems ok so far for me. We'll see | 03:43 |
| Guest63409 | <eye-zak>, my OS is ubuntu 10.04 <lucid> | 03:43 |
| Guest63409 | <greezmunkey>, I try that also. | 03:44 |
| compaq | There is something fishy about nvidia proprietary drivers, they kill cpu | 03:44 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, ok ... not sure what else to say ... nm-applet is the 'supported' way to go | 03:44 |
| greezmunkey | Guest63409: That won't change what you are working on, it is just needed by your system for other things. | 03:44 |
| jjnorth | compaq: "Something fishy"... Couldn't that be said of *all* proprietary drivers? ;) | 03:44 |
| Guest63409 | t<eye-zak>, he problem is that I had removed nm | 03:44 |
| vilhelm | Hello howdo I know that the graphics driver is installed in opensuse? | 03:45 |
| vilhelm | oops | 03:45 |
| Johnny_101 | compaq : Nvidia works fine for me..nothing fishy. | 03:45 |
| vilhelm | sry wrong channel | 03:45 |
| eye-zak | Guest63409, ok so you need nm packages to install (check /var/cache/apt/archives maybe) | 03:45 |
| compaq | jjnorth, yep, you got that right, but the adobe flash, and mplayer mpeg123 seems ok, but who know | 03:45 |
| greezmunkey | Guest63409: the interfaces file should have (line1) auto lo - (line 2) iface lo inet loopback -at a minimum | 03:46 |
| === BrendenB is now known as Guest96808 | ||
| jjnorth | compaq: Yeah, I'm not an elitist or anything. I run what works, same as most others. | 03:46 |
| compaq | my cpu is fine, I have those installed, but the nvidia drivers were a killer, or maybe it was something else, can't say for sure | 03:46 |
| jjnorth | vilhelm: I imagine quite a bit of the backend is the same, are you trying to verify 2D or 3D graphics? | 03:46 |
| compaq | jjnorth, I am not too familiar with the term or this context, ...actually, I think I maybe, I may just be an elitist | 03:47 |
| Guest63409 | <greezmunkey>, yeah, wicd works perfect, and I use pppoeconf to diale DSL, and I use plog to see what happened, it seems ok too, but cont surffe internet, so, I don't know to do with it | 03:47 |
| Guest27363 | wine sucks | 03:48 |
| Guest63409 | <greezmunkey> I tried that also, It still couldn't work. | 03:48 |
| PratikPatel | I have an ATI Radeon X1200 (RS690M), how do I get it to detect the right refresh rate for a 2nd display? It detects the wrong refresh rate. It also disable compiz when a 2nd display is connected. Is this a driver issue? | 03:48 |
| Johnny_101 | compaq : Nvidia 3rd Card? | 03:48 |
| greezmunkey | Guest63409: open a terminal - ping 8.8.8.8 see if you get a reply, then try ping google.com tell us what happens | 03:48 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, yep | 03:48 |
| Johnny_101 | compaq : model ? | 03:48 |
| pcgeek32147 | what is display UNCLAIMED and how do i fix it | 03:48 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, its an old one, gforce I think, 128mb | 03:48 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, it doesn't say on the card, but when I had it in, I think that was the driver | 03:49 |
| jjnorth | compaq: I don't see you clinging to ideals over functionality, so I don't think you'd qualify. ;) | 03:49 |

| Guest63409 | <greezmunkey>, ok I need to swith to ubuntu to try that. | 03:50 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, hmm, so what do you think about my issue of cpu over use. It was constanly loaded, and now its stays under a quarter, before it was always at 3 quarter(75%) | 03:51 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, and 3d is on now too | 03:51 |
| ljsoftnet | eye-zak: what do u mean? secure or not secure? | 03:51 |

| z3ro3x | I've been having strange performance issues ever since I updated (fresh install) to 10.04. When I play music in Rhythmbox after being logged on for several hours music gets really glitchy. If I kill pulseaudio and restart it the audio glitching goes away for several hours then gliches again. I've also been getting similiar glitching when watching videos in Totem. Some time I get glitches where the mouse skips as I'm moving i | 03:54 |
| z3ro3x | t. It feels like 10.04 was rushed out the door before it was finished. Is there anyway I can fix some of these performance issues? | 03:54 |
| laurus | Is there a program available for Ubuntu that will allow me to enter text onto a PDF file and then print it out? (The PDF does not have fillable fields on it) | 03:54 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, I don't have a problem, I was just chit chatting | 03:54 |
| snlemons | laurus: You can edit PDFs in GIMP. | 03:54 |
| pcgeek32147 | no when i type lshw -c display | 03:54 |
| laurus | snlemons, thanks! :) | 03:54 |
| snlemons | laurus: And some PDF readers will let you edit, but not if the PDF is locked against editing, as far as I know. | 03:55 |
| jjnorth | Right, well, I'm off, other things to do and all that. Lates. | 03:55 |
| laurus | snlemons, I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader and it doesn't seem to let me edit, probably because the PDF is locked, who knows :P | 03:55 |
| tvaughn | snlemons: you can always unlock them :P | 03:55 |
| laurus | But I need to edit all the same ;) | 03:55 |
| tvaughn | READER cant WRITE | 03:55 |
| greezmunkey | pcgeek32147: copy and paste the entire error to http://paste.ubuntu.com - paste the resulting url back here so we can look at it. | 03:55 |
| Johnny_101 | compaq : I haven't use Debian ; how does it compare with Ubuntu | 03:56 |
| tvaughn | Johnny_101: it can be a huge pain | 03:56 |
| tvaughn | The apps that apt will install in it are old but stable | 03:56 |
| tvaughn | but out of date as far as a lot of people think | 03:56 |
| compaq | Johnny_101, well, on my laptop, I could get power management(sleep and hibernate) working, but it worked out of the box with ubuntu, but on my desktop, it was the reverse, i can't sleep with ubuntu, but it works with debian | 03:57 |
| Appl6 | Johnny_101: You're unlikely to get a reasonable answer to that question in an Ubuntu channel. Consider, for example, asking in #debian about Ubuntu. | 03:57 |
| eye-zak | Johnny_101, no working out of the box ... but some ppl on this list would say the same thing about ubuntu | 03:57 |
| Azerthoth | tvaughn, Johnny_101 that depends on the version your using | 03:57 |
| [Screamo] | how do i make the address bar let me type in it nautilus in 10.04 | 03:57 |
| Appl6 | [Screamo]: Ctrl-L | 03:57 |

| Azerthoth | Johnny_101, debian stable is rock solid stable but stale, debian testing is roughly equal to ubuntu, some packages ahead some behind, debian sid (unstable) leads ubuntu in package revision but as the name says, isnt all that stable | 04:00 |
| TomV-415 | I'm trying to figure out how to move all the files from my old ubuntu to my new computer.

| Azerthoth | ljsoftnet, huh? | 04:02 |
| Curly_Q | Thanks ! | 04:02 |
| greezmunkey | Curly_Q: That's probably the best one I've looked at but there are others. Usually in the form of scripts that you install onto apache2 | 04:02 |
| Johnny_101 | ljsoftnet : what are you trying to do..secure? | 04:02 |
| ljsoftnet | am what i mean is if i use those ip address on my network connection is it safe? | 04:03 |
| Curly_Q | I apprecaiate that information Greezmunkey. ;) | 04:03 |
| greezmunkey | Curly_Q: np | 04:03 |
| Azerthoth | ljsoftnet, as safe as any dms provider | 04:03 |

| pcgeek32147 | heres my problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/438122/ | 04:04 |

| Curly_Q | DASPRiD, just because Windows 7 is out it does not mean that there is a driver for it. The newer the OS the more difficult you will find a driver because most software and hardware developers are not supporting legacy devices. | 04:20 |
| patx | Or logs in? | 04:20 |
| popfizz | tvaughn: my router doesn't filter mac addresses | 04:20 |

| the-new-guy | popfizz, I need to find the gui to do it first... | 04:25 |
| Azerthoth | pcgeek32147, does it work? simply put monitors report what they are, if your monitor does not repost its edid then its a fairly meaningless error as long as it is performing | 04:25 |
| IdleOne | tvaughn: good looking out :) | 04:25 |
| p1l0t | What is the name of the repository package for flash? | 04:25 |

| patx | Can anyone help with that? | 04:26 |
| tvaughn | or woman | 04:26 |
| popfizz | the-new-guy: Ubuntu 10.04 ships with "NetworkManager Applet 0.8" as the lan/wlan manager. | 04:26 |

| Azerthoth | p1l0t, apt-cache search | 04:27 |
| the-new-guy | popfizz, it says its running | 04:27 |

| greezmunkey | __taco: ok, so your dsl interface is coming up, but the routing is not happening, paste the contents of ifconfig, and ip route please - don't disconnect internet please | 04:27 |

| IdleOne | laurus: with the space key | 04:28 |

| __taco | <greezmunkey>, "ip route" is a command? | 04:29 |
| laurus | ✓ | 04:29 |
| klenwell | Tried REISUB: no reaction. Any way to verify I'm doing it right? | 04:29 |
| IdleOne | laurus: how did you do that? | 04:30 |
| greezmunkey | Curly_Q: not a problem, just that his connect script is not finishing the job, providing the default route, etc. He's going to post ip route, and ifconfig - so if we can connect him successfully, the script hacking should be easy. | 04:30 |

| greezmunkey | Curly_Q: his machine has the tools to get the job done, they're just scattered about on the floor right now. | 04:33 |
| tvaughn | nope | 04:33 |
| henkboom_ | acicula, ah, there's no way to just swap them in without making changes in the build system? | 04:33 |
| tvaughn | just hold alt sysrq with one hand and press the letters with the other | 04:33 |

| klawd | hi! | 04:34 |
| greezmunkey | Ha, I knew it :) | 04:34 |
| acicula | henkboom_, you may also have to specify the /usr/lib/debug dir for the linker to find the dbg libs | 04:34 |
| klawd | i just made an ubuntu update and now my php5 pdo is wrecked and i can't figure out why | 04:34 |

| popfizz | Hi guys. I just installed Lucid and although my wireless card seems to be working (I see a few networks available), my own network isn't on the list. Any suggestions? | 04:35 |
| acicula | henkboom_, well dbg libs are just like normal libs, except much bulkier and slower, you can replace system libs with them, but it may well slow your entire system to a crawl | 04:35 |
| masterslakk | hey, how do you check the cpu temp in shell? | 04:35 |
| acicula | masterslakk, sensors | 04:35 |
| henkboom_ | acicula, it installed them in /usr/lib, strangely enough, just adding 'd' suffixes in the names | 04:35 |
| tvaughn | popfizz: is it under more networks? | 04:35 |
| greezmunkey | pcgeek32147: have you tried googling for "ubuntu enable hdmi dell mini 10" There is a lot of moaning and groaning about that out there, none of it good. | 04:35 |
| masterslakk | acicula, that is what you type in the shell? | 04:35 |
| popfizz | tvaughn: nope, it is not. | 04:36 |
| henkboom_ | hmm, I suppose I could symlink them to /usr/local/lib | 04:36 |
| tvaughn | masterslakk: yes | 04:36 |
| masterslakk | acicula, what does +55.0 mean..... | 04:36 |
| greezmunkey | Curly_Q: That may be, and he may want to go there :) | 04:36 |
| tvaughn | popfizz: is it broadcasting? | 04:36 |
| popfizz | tvaughn: it appeared a few minutes ago, but stil wouldn't connect. now it's off the list again | 04:36 |
| tvaughn | masterslakk: its not negative I'd assume | 04:36 |
| Curly_Q | :) | 04:36 |
| popfizz | tvaughn: yes, definitely broadcasting. several windows machines are connected without trouble, and an ubuntu 9.10 machine as well | 04:36 |
| acicula | henkboom_, imlooking at the package description and it says /usr/lib/debug in the list | 04:37 |
| masterslakk | tvaughn, does the "+" mean that its above 55 Celsius | 04:37 |
| masterslakk | or that it's just positive, tvaughn | 04:37 |
| acicula | henkboom_, mind you its the same as normal libgtk2, so putting it in the ld path twice may confuse the linker | 04:37 |

| GeekSquid | Appl6 thank you , I knew it was latin | 05:12 |
| Name141 | is it possible to 'search' , like you would in sympatic (or whatever), using sudo apt-get ? | 05:12 |
| Name141 | Search for the package you need* | 05:13 |
| xangua | GeekSquid: latin is a dead language... | 05:13 |
| raddy | eye-zak: compiz related. | 05:13 |
| franc | Name141: apt-cache search <pckage name> | 05:13 |
| eye-zak | raddy: specifically, exactly what | 05:13 |

| chegney | I've got a base system installed, can someone give me steps some good steps for getting just X gnome gdm and openbox installed | 05:15 |
| greezmunkey | xangua: don't tell the Pope that... | 05:15 |
| chegney | I don't want a bunch of junk installed | 05:15 |
| eye-zak | alualualu, you can extract all files in a .deb package (ie gdm) with dpkg -x <pkg>.deb output folder .. then find gdm.conf in that dir | 05:15 |
| eye-zak | chegney, do you know how to use aptitude | 05:15 |
| greezmunkey | chegney: what do you consider to be "junk"? | 05:16 |
| histo | I have ubuntu on usb with a persistant casper file of 512mb. Is there a way to boot it without it being persistant temporarily? I just want to show someone a few things. | 05:16 |
| chegney | eye-zak: yes, I'm just wondering if there is a metapackage I can use to acomplish this | 05:16 |
| eye-zak | histo, at boot remove the persistent option from the command line for the kernel | 05:16 |
| compaq | any recommendation for a manual? one that has the lspci, lsmod, grep, commands in there? | 05:16 |
| histo | eye-zak: gotcha | 05:16 |
| histo | I'll reboot and try | 05:17 |
| eye-zak | chegney, not really 'ubuntu-desktop' is the meta for gnome ubuntu desktop gdm and gnome-session have all major dependencies to start an xsession | 05:17 |
| GeekSquid | histo: make a copy of it | 05:17 |
| histo | compaq: you can man <command name> at a terminal | 05:17 |
| histo | GeekSquid: make a copy of what? | 05:17 |
| eye-zak | chegney, install openbox first, so it can be used to satisfy x-window-manager dependency | 05:17 |
| chegney | eye-zak: does ubuntu-desktop install games and stuff too? | 05:17 |
| histo | chegney: yes | 05:18 |
| histo | chegney: apps > games | 05:18 |
| eye-zak | histo, this means you will not have any changes you made on your casper-rw | 05:18 |
| chegney | histo: okay, I don't want that then | 05:18 |
| histo | eye-zak: yes. I don't want them to save. | 05:18 |
| histo | chegney: you can remove them | 05:18 |
| greezmunkey | chegney: they are easily removed | 05:18 |
| chegney | so if I install openbox, it should install all the xorg stuff, including drivers? | 05:18 |
| duckwars | I have samba running, and I changed the config file, and I want restart to restart, but sudo /etc/init.d samba restart but it doesn't work, i have 9.10 | 05:18 |
| histo | chegney: what are you trying to accomplish? | 05:18 |
| eye-zak | chegney, you can mark a bunch of things and then see what they mark as a consequence (undo menu is your friend) | 05:18 |
| chegney | histo: minimal system | 05:19 |
| lyrae | guys | 05:19 |
| histo | chegney: you can install ubuntu-minimal and hand pick packages for your X | 05:19 |
| greezmunkey | duckwars: sudo service nmbd restart should do it. | 05:19 |
| eye-zak | chegney, in the preferences for aptitude, set Install-Recommends to false to limit dependencies to only those which are necessary | 05:19 |
| GeekSquid | Histo: the usb, I mean that your sys tem is persistant , which means changes are saved, make a copy and the origional is intact | 05:19 |
| eye-zak | chegney, start with ubuntu-standard it has bash-completion and a few extra niceties | 05:19 |
| lyrae | The envenlope icon in the taskbar is gone. i cant start pidgin or be notifed of new messages | 05:19 |
| histo | chegney: there are directions int he wiki for low memeroy systems that might be of help for you. they talk about building a minimal system ground up. | 05:20 |
| duckwars | greezmunkey; nmbd: unrecognized service | 05:20 |
| histo | GeekSquid: ahh i'm going to try disabling them on boot first. | 05:20 |
| greezmunkey | duckwars: then try sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 05:20 |
| histo | brb | 05:20 |
| sCOTTo | hey guys - anyone here running VMWARE ? | 05:20 |
| sCOTTo | !vmware | 05:20 |
| ubottu | VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware | 05:20 |
| duckwars | greezemunkey: ok, i swear i was doing that and it wasn't working but this time it did, I think my computer wants me to look like a fool before it works... thank you | 05:21 |
| tvaughn | IdleOne: just a confirmation REISUB does work | 05:21 |
| greezmunkey | duckwars: join the club :) | 05:21 |
| IdleOne | tvaughn: thought so. he may have been doing it wrong | 05:21 |
| chegney | histo: ubuntu-minimal doesn't show as a meta-package | 05:22 |
| tvaughn | someone mentioned it not working in 10.04 so i checked | 05:22 |
| tvaughn | had to do some stuff in windows while the pc was rebooted | 05:22 |
| tvaughn | hated it :s | 05:22 |
| greezmunkey | tvaughn: that was me, what exactly did you do to make it work. I had to try it here, and it didn't/ | 05:23 |
| tvaughn | greezmunkey: you using right or left alt? | 05:23 |
| greezmunkey | tvaughn: right | 05:23 |
| tvaughn | did none of the keys work? | 05:23 |
| tvaughn | I've seen B not work before | 05:23 |
| sCOTTo | :( | 05:23 |
| Guest78018 | can ubuntu be hack | 05:24 |
| sCOTTo | lol | 05:24 |
| broseidon | has anyone had issues with 64 bit 10.04 server install crapping out on the bootloader/install software step? I'm using encrypted LVM and encrypted home directory, on one machine when I changed those options it worked | 05:24 |
| sCOTTo | can windows ? | 05:24 |
| Guest78018 | sometimes y | 05:24 |
| greezmunkey | tvaughn: my system was probably so borked that none of them did. I watched the HDD indicator as I ran through the keys (pausing about 10 seconds between them) but saw no activity. | 05:24 |
| histo | !info ubuntu-minimal | chegney | 05:25 |

| tvaughn | the U should kill your display | 05:25 |
| histo | chegney: let me find you that link hold up | 05:25 |
| eye-zak | histo: i'll have to learn how to use ubottu | 05:25 |
| tvaughn | er not the U.. | 05:25 |
| histo | eye-zak: its nice | 05:25 |

| tvaughn | I love that bot | 05:26 |
| greezmunkey | tvaughn: it literally did nothing, that's why I looked into it. I found a *lot* of posts regarding it being broken in Lucid, and that was confirmed here. Maybe it has been fixed in an update. I haven't had a severe lockup since, so haven't needed it. | 05:26 |
| tvaughn | I love you ubottu | 05:26 |
| tvaughn | aw | 05:26 |
| onetinsoldier | !botsnack | 05:26 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 05:26 |
| tvaughn | greezmunkey: the e would kill the screen if I'm reading this right | 05:27 |
| greezmunkey | tvaughn: agreed. I used it a couple of times in 9.10, and you could tell it was working - no doubt about it. | 05:28 |
| chegney | in aptitude, I don't see a package for gnome or gnome-desktop | 05:29 |

| chegney | tvaughn: but that installs all sorts of things I don't want | 05:29 |
| tvaughn | hm | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | chegney: try.. gnome-desktop-environment | 05:30 |
| Name141 | Is there any more terminal based IRC clients than irssi ? | 05:30 |
| __taco | greezmunkey, thx , I hope so, I will try it later | 05:30 |
| tvaughn | chegney: it's a metapackage and you can check what it references | 05:30 |
| tvaughn | Name141: bitchX i think | 05:31 |
| Name141 | !bitchx | 05:31 |
| ubottu | bitchx (also known as ircii-pana) was dropped from Debian and subsequently Ubuntu (see: http://dy.fi/afb). Consider using irssi or weechat instead. | 05:31 |
| tvaughn | ohh | 05:31 |
| greezmunkey | __taco: the pon and poff scripts should complete the routing statments you need to make it work! | 05:31 |
| Name141 | weechat ? hm | 05:31 |
| tvaughn | there's weechat :P | 05:31 |
| Guest78018 | whats that | 05:31 |
| ryanmcgrath | Hey-o - let's say I compiled a driver, installed it and all, and it seems to have gone fine. Ubuntu 9.04, drivers for the Belkin N 150 USB wireless dongle (rt270sta, fyi). modprobe -i and all *looks* like it went alright, but the thing isn't loaded, and the dongle still isn't recognized. Anybody know where else I should look? | 05:31 |
| bsmith093 | in pidgin what does the persistent chat mean? | 05:32 |
| Guest78018 | means that your chat stays on | 05:32 |
| bsmith093 | even without the program running or without the chat window open? | 05:33 |
| xangua | bsmith093: it means that even if you close the channel's tab/windows, you will be remain coneccted and receive messages | 05:33 |
| bsmith093 | ahh ok thanks | 05:33 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: does lsmod show the module loaded? | 05:33 |
| userr | depois que eu dei esse comando: gksudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties nunca mais minhas janelas foram as mesmas, elas não maximizam | 05:34 |
| ryanmcgrath | Yeah | 05:34 |
| bsmith093 | also is there a rot13 automatic thing for gedit like there is for vi | 05:34 |
| userr | help-me! | 05:34 |
| xangua | !pt | 05:34 |
| ubottu | Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 05:34 |
| ryanmcgrath | It's so strange. | 05:34 |
| ryanmcgrath | dmesg also shows that loading it went fine | 05:34 |
| Guest78018 | userr, what can i do for you | 05:34 |
| ryanmcgrath | Hmmm | 05:35 |
| ryanmcgrath | There are some other rt USB drivers installed | 05:35 |
| ryanmcgrath | Perhaps if I blacklist them... | 05:35 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: have you tried unplugging the dongle, and replacing it? If not, in a terminal type: tail -f /var/log/messages - then do it. It will give you some feedback. | 05:35 |
| ryanmcgrath | Ah thanks. I was trying to figure out what dmesg logged to/from, wanted to tail it | 05:36 |
| tvaughn | dmesg is its own isnt it? | 05:36 |
| ryanmcgrath | Looks to be the same log | 05:36 |
| ryanmcgrath | Anyway | 05:36 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: yeah, kernel messages don't cha know... | 05:36 |
| ryanmcgrath | Says "new high speed usb device using ehci_hcd and address 6" | 05:36 |
| ryanmcgrath | "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" | 05:36 |
| klenwell | greezmunkey, IdleOne, or tvaughn: rebooted my computer and it looks like the partition resize succeeded despite freeze. thanks again for all your help! | 05:37 |
| Guest78018 | np | 05:37 |
| greezmunkey | klenwell: heh, that's good news :) | 05:37 |
| tvaughn | klenwell: thats because it writes to the disk when you resize it | 05:37 |
| ryanmcgrath | So I mean it's picking up the USB device, right... | 05:37 |
| ryanmcgrath | It's just not doing anything with it, it seems | 05:37 |
| chegney | okay, I did ubuntu-desktop, but it looks like setting install-recommends to false turned a bunch of non-essential stuff off | 05:38 |
| bsmith093 | how do i load more plugins for gedit | 05:38 |
| ryanmcgrath | Wait wait | 05:38 |
| klenwell | tvaughn: good to know. thanks. | 05:38 |
| ryanmcgrath | is there by any chance a generic wireless package I need for this to work? | 05:38 |
| linux_is_my_hero | how do i get hardware drivers for ubuntu server when the server doesnt have drivers for its wifi card? | 05:38 |
| Guest78018 | try searching for it | 05:38 |

| linux_is_my_hero | how do i identify my wifi card from the tty? | 05:39 |
| amine | lspci | grep -i "network" | 05:39 |

| BabyJesus | Hey | 05:41 |
| ryanmcgrath | So wait | 05:41 |

| linux_is_my_hero | GeekSquid: thanks! :-) | 05:42 |
| eye-zak | ryanmcgrath, some hal magic maybe | 05:42 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: I had to go through that rt2870sta business with a linksys 600N, I had to blcaklist something, but don't recall now. I don't use it here anymore. | 05:42 |

| Guest78018 | hi anthony_ | 05:42 |
| imperfect- | Anyone know why I wouldnt have composite extensions enabled on lucid by default? | 05:42 |
| BabyJesus | Just wondering if there was any indication whether it was a software issue, or a bad DVD? | 05:43 |
| xangua | imperfect-: you mean compiz or metacity compositing¿ | 05:43 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: you placed the driver in the modules directory as well right? | 05:43 |
| anthony__ | where will i go to see the hashes for ubuntu 10.04 i don't know the url. pls help me... | 05:43 |
| ryanmcgrath | Yep | 05:43 |
| imperfect- | xangua: when i try ti enable effects I get the composite extension not available | 05:43 |
| imperfect- | using Nvidia GTX280 | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: did you restart networking? | 05:44 |
| ryanmcgrath | Hmmm | 05:44 |
| ryanmcgrath | How do I wanna do that? | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: that's the old way, but it works | 05:44 |
| linux_is_my_hero | alright how do install "hwinfo" on my ubuntu server just using another computer that has internet, or the ubuntu server 10.4 live cd? | 05:44 |
| linux_is_my_hero | my server has a wifi card that needs drivers so i can get to the internet and actually make it a server for when im away from home. | 05:45 |
| tvaughn | linux_is_my_hero: try a cat5 cable? | 05:45 |
| Guest78018 | looks like your log is not complete | 05:45 |
| tvaughn | or a .deb file on a flash drive | 05:45 |

| linux_is_my_hero | histo: i dont know, thats why im trying to get hwinfo | 05:46 |
| imperfect- | compositing has neve rbeen an issue before I dunno what the deal is | 05:46 |
| Guest78018 | yeah | 05:46 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: well you can use lspci to find the info | 05:46 |
| anthony__ | pls help | 05:46 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: no need for hwinfo | 05:46 |
| ryanmcgrath | So I mean if I right click on the network icon in the task bar, it has no options whatsoever for "enable/disable" wireless | 05:46 |
| chemuduguntar | hi all | 05:46 |
| histo | ryanmcgrath: left click | 05:46 |

| histo | chemuduguntar: blkid | 05:47 |
| xfact | I dunno why my CPU stat is always high 90-100%, is that normal? | 05:47 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: you mentioned additional rt drivers, that rings a bell, can you bl them. | 05:47 |

| BabyJesus | Oh, you're correct | 05:47 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: tell me what kind it is like bcm43xx most likely | 05:47 |
| BabyJesus | PasteBay must have cut it off | 05:47 |
| mataks | histo, ok thanks i'll try | 05:47 |
| anthony__ | thx to all | 05:48 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: RaLink RT2800 802.11n PCI | 05:48 |
| linux_is_my_hero | its a linksys dual-antenna high-gain. it works great when it has drivers! :-) | 05:48 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: hold up let me check something | 05:48 |
| greezmunkey | linux_is_my_hero: I think a lspci will give you the chipset | 05:49 |
| tvaughn | I've got a netgear card that won't work either :P | 05:49 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: i thought that had drivers in the newer kernels | 05:49 |
| BabyJesus | Guest78018, here's just the last of it: http://pastebay.com/100003 | 05:49 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: lsmod | grep rt2 see if that shows any output | 05:49 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: how do i install hardware drivers from the tty? | 05:49 |
| tvaughn | 01:06.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) << is this supported? | 05:49 |
| Scunizi | geeez... I would have been a whole lot faster reinstalling then going the upgrade route... going on 3 hours now.. | 05:49 |
| greezmunkey | Scunizi: whoa, that's a long time, slow Internet?/ | 05:50 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: it shows rt2860sta | 05:50 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: then its loaded | 05:50 |
| === fran is now known as Guest95453 | ||
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: now you need to configure the card to connect to your network. | 05:50 |
| Scunizi | greezmunkey: not normally.. using bittorrents I downloaded the ISO in less than 6 minutes.. and everything else screams.. but looks like the repo's that I'm using for the upgrade are only giving me bandwidth from 64kB/s to 140kB/s .. not what I would call fast | 05:51 |
| tvaughn | need bittorrent repos :P | 05:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: how do i do that? | 05:52 |
| Scunizi | that would be good | 05:52 |
| Guest78018 | dude have you tried burning it again | 05:52 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: never done this without a GUI :-D | 05:52 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: typing iwconfig in a terminal by itself will give you the interfaces. Then you can type iwconfig --help to see a list of options. Then just sudo iwconfig options.... | 05:52 |
| BabyJesus | No, I'm about to | 05:52 |
| chelz | tvaughn: apt-torrent | 05:52 |
| tvaughn | i was kidding, it exists? | 05:52 |
| BabyJesus | I just wasn't sure if maybe it wasn't the DVD | 05:53 |
| Scunizi | chelz: is there such a thing? | 05:53 |
| BabyJesus | I'll try again, maybe limiting the speed to 2X | 05:53 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: then to make the changes persistant so they are there on reboot You will have to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file | 05:53 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: assuming this is a command line system | 05:53 |
| greezmunkey | Scunizi: yeah, bummer - I had the same problem, and even then it didn't work that great. I decided to cut and run, instelled clean. Thank this room for me having a seperate /home! | 05:53 |
| Guest78018 | ok good idea | 05:53 |
| chelz | Scunizi: i think the project is dead, but yeah. there's also apt-p2p based on gnutella | 05:53 |
| ryanmcgrath | Hmmm | 05:53 |
| Wyzerd | BabyJesus: burn at the slowest possible speed. | 05:53 |
| jabagawee | hi, i have byobu/screen set up to run on start up, and everytime i try to open more than one putty window, the newest window closes the older one | 05:53 |
| ryanmcgrath | So blacklisting them did nothing, really | 05:53 |
| chelz | Scunizi: all the cool kids use apt-fast these days tho | 05:53 |
| tvaughn | apt-p2p is in the repos | 05:53 |
| Wyzerd | jabagawee: read the man page for screen? | 05:54 |
| BabyJesus | Haha. I hatttteee waiting for it, but I'll try it | 05:54 |
| ryanmcgrath | Hmmm | 05:54 |
| jokecure | hello, anyone know how i can get admin access to ubuntu 10.04? | 05:54 |
| tvaughn | sudo su | 05:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: yes this is a command-line only ubuntu 10.4 x64 server | 05:54 |
| histo | !sudo > jokecure | 05:54 |
| ryanmcgrath | greezmunkey: When I lsmod after a reboot, the driver shows up with a 0 instead of a 1 - any idea if that's significant? | 05:54 |
| ubottu | jokecure, please see my private message | 05:54 |
| jokecure | k | 05:54 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: how do i get a list of availible wireless networks? | 05:54 |
| jabagawee | Wyzerd: weird thing is that i _know_ screen can run on two separate terminals to connect to the same session | 05:54 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: no idea, sorry. | 05:54 |
| tvaughn | jabagawee: screen -x | 05:54 |
| greezmunkey | ryanmcgrath: I have to get something to eat - later, and good luck :) | 05:55 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: sudo iwlist scan | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | greezmunkey: I always recommend a separate /home :)... I did the upgrade on my ubuntu box (upgrading kubuntu now) and that went pretty quick.. left me with polkitd eating my ram and burning my cpu cycles.. found out I had to delete .pulseaudio in ~ to get it back to normal again.. | 05:55 |
| Wyzerd | jabagawee: indeed. You shoudl still read the man page, because unless irts a bug you are doing something wrong. | 05:55 |
| chelz | jokecure: depends on what you want to do | 05:55 |
| Scunizi | chelz: what's apt-fast? never heard of it. | 05:55 |
| histo | jabagawee: yes it can what are you trying to do? | 05:55 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: it says my hardware doesnt support scanning. | 05:56 |
| Wyzerd | Scunizi: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/11/improve-apt-get-install-and-upgrade.html | 05:56 |
| jokecure | how can allow my ntfs drive read and write access? | 05:56 |
| jabagawee | histo, Wyzerd, tvaughn: i understand how to run screen, but it's this combination of byobu auto-starting on login and putty that's messing around | 05:56 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: there should be multiple interfaces listed if you have more than one network card | 05:56 |
| Wyzerd | jokecure: just mount teh drive. It can read/write once its mounted. | 05:56 |
| histo | jabagawee: not familiar with byobu | 05:56 |
| jokecure | ah ok | 05:56 |
| jokecure | it is mounted | 05:56 |
| jabagawee | histo: alright, thanks anyways. i guess i'll just go without autostarting | 05:57 |
| jokecure | im trying to get wow to work with wine but wine won't boot wow | 05:57 |
| Wyzerd | jokecure: wine cant be on yoru Windows partition, it needs to be installed in yoru C drive in Wine, in your linux host. | 05:57 |
| histo | jabagawee: ahh byobu looks nice thats just preferences | 05:57 |
| === emma_ is now known as emma | ||
| Wyzerd | wow* | 05:57 |
| jokecure | i think it is heh | 05:58 |
| Scunizi | Wyzerd: nice | 05:58 |
| jokecure | i installed ubuntu today and installed wine from terminal | 05:58 |
| dhruvasagar | Hi | 05:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: i only have one. i took my ethernet card out to make room for my wifi card. | 05:58 |
| jabagawee | histo: turns out that you can't run byobu more than once. the "correct" way to run it is to run byobu once, then use screen -x to make more terminals | 05:58 |
| Scunizi | jokecure: gold star on the first.. frown on the second | 05:58 |
| histo | jabagawee: what is the problem wtih screen thought that you are experiencing I didn't understand your original question | 05:58 |
| Unholy1 | When will Suspend and Hibernate problems be fixed? | 05:58 |
| jokecure | rofl | 05:58 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: wait i have wired also. | 05:58 |
| ryanmcgrath | Huh - dunno if anyone else has any ideas, but I have a wireless driver compiled/installed/loaded, but network manager doesn't recognize it at all. | 05:58 |
| chelz | Unholy1: few more hours | 05:59 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: it says that none of the interfaces support scanning? | 05:59 |
| Wyzerd | jokecure: you need to download wine, download WoW and install it on your Linux partition's C drive that WINE created. Anything else will NOT work. Trying to launch wOw off of your windows drive in a linux host is not going to work, obviously. | 05:59 |
| Unholy1 | kewl chelz | 05:59 |
| jabagawee | histo: byobu just loved to screw with me. problem solved :P | 05:59 |
| InvaderZim | Just had a horrible update from 9.10 to 10.04. Logging in KDM the screen blinks and returns to KDM. X logs has fatal error, tells me framemapping range problem. Something about the driver, SAVAGE it seems. If I try to failsafe X to vesa, the pc hangs. Help? | 05:59 |
| joeGuy | hey i hit ctrl-alt-f1. how do i get back to my session? | 05:59 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: does it show wireless extensions on any of them when you just use iwconfig | 05:59 |
| jokecure | k | 05:59 |
| jabagawee | joeGuy: ctrl alt f7 | 05:59 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: i type in sudo iwconfig wlan0 ESSID "LibertyWiFi" and i get SET failed on device wlan0 ; Network is down. | 05:59 |
| Unholy1 | When I go to hibernate it looks like my screen is trying to eat itself | 05:59 |
| Wyzerd | InvaderZim: install properly. Backup and install instead of upgrade. Upgrades ALWAYS have problems. Always. | 05:59 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:00 |
| Wyzerd | joeGuy: ctrl alt f7 or f8 | 06:00 |
| Loshki | Unholy1: I assume chelz was joking... | 06:00 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: just type iwconfig by itself | 06:00 |
| InvaderZim | Wyzerd: well the icon was telling me to upgrade, so I clicked on it | 06:00 |
| Unholy1 | Loshki: yeah I thought the same | 06:00 |
| ryanmcgrath | Huh, strange... rt2870 has been in the kernel itself since 2.6.9 | 06:00 |
| Loshki | Unholy1: ok, just checking... | 06:00 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: does it show an interface with wireless extensions | 06:00 |
| ryanmcgrath | So this shouldn't be a problem I feel like. | 06:00 |
| ryanmcgrath | It's not an issue with the driver, it's something else. | 06:00 |
| ryanmcgrath | It reads the USB hardware... | 06:01 |
| chelz | Unholy1: troubleshooting hibernate is pretty wild stuff | 06:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | only for the wlan0 | 06:01 |
| Wyzerd | InvaderZim: yeah, well, perhaps you shoudl have read up on what upgrading does to computers. I suggest googling some info about upgrading vs fresh installations. | 06:01 |
| ryanmcgrath | Any idea where the disconnect is? | 06:01 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: wlan0 has interfaces, but eth0 doesn't. | 06:01 |
| Unholy1 | Loshki: I was being optomistic, it sucks to not have Suspend or Hibernate working, have to shutdown everytime I leave the computer | 06:01 |
| InvaderZim | Wyzerd: that's not a fix | 06:01 |
| chelz | Unholy1: usually takes a few hours to track down the issue and report the relevant bugs for an experienced ubuntu user | 06:01 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: okay then sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | 06:01 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: Do you have the module loaded for your ethernet card? | 06:01 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: that should show you a list of networks within range | 06:01 |
| Wyzerd | InvaderZim: I never claimed it was a fix. It was a suggestion that you should follow so that you dont come here whining about problems that could have been avoided. | 06:02 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: "interface doesnt support scanning : network is down" | 06:02 |
| Loshki | chelz: Unholy1: agreed. It's difficult stuff. Might take a very long time to get fixed... | 06:02 |
| Unholy1 | chelz: I appreciate the difficulties the developers go through, but this has been goin on for weeks | 06:02 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:02 |
| chelz | Unholy1: well if you want to go through the motions, there is info on how to work it all out: http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:ubuntuforums.org+suspend+troubleshooting+ubuntu | 06:02 |
| InvaderZim | ok anyone can HELP me instead of being a jerk? | 06:02 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: put a sudo infront of the ifconfig wlan0 up | 06:02 |
| Unholy1 | Chelz: Ill help any way I can but I'm no prgrammer | 06:02 |
| histo | soreau: It shouldnt' matter if the interface is down for scanning though right? | 06:03 |
| Wyzerd | InvaderZim: the only one being a *jerk* here is the person who is too rude to properly ask for help and insists that everyone should drop what they are doing to help them. | 06:03 |
| chelz | Unholy1: that's not necessary, it just takes time and patience reading | 06:03 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: i did the first time | 06:03 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: after the ifconfig up now try to scan again | 06:03 |
| tvaughn | !patience | InvaderZim | 06:03 |
| ubottu | InvaderZim: 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. | 06:04 |
| Unholy1 | chelz: thanks, Ill read tommorow when Im sober ;) | 06:04 |
| chelz | Unholy1: good luck :) | 06:04 |
| ryanmcgrath | Would a USB wireless drive show up as wlan0 or not? | 06:04 |
| imperfect- | Anyone have any guidance on my composite issue? | 06:04 |
| soreau | histo: It must be up for scanning | 06:04 |
| sudaya | hi all, i have ubutu 9.04 in my server how can i update kernel version | 06:04 |
| Loshki | InvaderZim: sounds like your upgrade went really badly. I hope you made a backup. You might have to go back to 9.10.... | 06:05 |
| chelz | sudaya: kernel versions are tied to the version of ubuntu. to get a newer kernel you must upgrade ubuntu. | 06:05 |
| Scunizi | 1% left on downloading the new packages for the upgrade.. like watching paint dry.. hope it doesn't bork my dual monitor setup | 06:05 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: looks like there is a bug possibly with that driver also i'm reading about it now | 06:05 |
| linux_is_my_hero | histo: its working | 06:05 |
| Wyzerd | sudaya: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu | 06:05 |

| linux_is_my_hero | i have 3 wifi hotspots i can get to from here | 06:05 |
| histo | linux_is_my_hero: you use iwconfig | 06:05 |
| soreau | linux_is_my_hero: If it is wpa encryption, you might need wpa_supplicant | 06:05 |
| Wyzerd | linux_is_my_hero: are any of them yours or public? Using someone elses wifi without consent is a crime. | 06:06 |

| jmichaelx | Wyzerd: without gnome installed, kubuntu does not do this. however, with gnome installed, chromioum browser and firefox both make these stupid sounds, even if they are turned off in gnome. | 06:18 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: is it like a quick drumbeat? | 06:18 |
| histo | soreau: I'm pretty sure it gets forwarded for approval | 06:18 |
| Wyzerd | emes: I suggest a clean install. There are ALWAYS problems with upgrades. I never suggest upgrading, and spending a few days in here should answer the question "why?", just look at all of the people complaining about upgrades. I highly suggest doing a backup and a clean install. | 06:18 |
| CR3AL | I got a annoying problem with my wireless internet connection, anyone down to help? | 06:19 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: go to "System >> Preferences >> Sound" and disable system sounds is one way, is that satisfactory? | 06:19 |
| jmichaelx | chelz: well, it was in firefox. to stop that, i renamed an audio file in /usr/share/souns/ubuntu/stereo | 06:19 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: sure, that's one way | 06:19 |
| Wyzerd | !ask | CR3AL | 06:19 |
| ubottu | CR3AL: 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. :-) | 06:19 |

| Scunizi | omfarka: yep.. called reinstall.. :) | 06:21 |

| jmichaelx | chelz: without gnome installed, kubuntu does not do this. however, with gnome installed, chromioum browser and firefox both make these stupid sounds, even if they are turned off in gnome. | 06:21 |
| Wyzerd | emes: if you want a working system, you'd take my advice. Ubuntu is NOT a rolling distro, ie: like Arch. It is *not* bleeding edge. If you want a proper upgrade, you should do a clean install. | 06:21 |
| imperfect- | Anyone know of a good cpu temp/usage meter? | 06:21 |
| chelz | Scunizi: that might pop up in the view of the network. although you might need to install a thing on the server to broadcast the smb share for that kind of autoconfig. otherwise you can go to Placed -> Connect to Server | 06:21 |

| Scunizi | chelz: yea.. I can see the network and the server but not the shares.. | 06:22 |
| Wyzerd | CR3AL: that might be your wireless ruoter and not Ubuntu's fault. Do any other computers on yoru network do this, if you have other computers? | 06:22 |

| histo | bobby77: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode there is this but I know there is a way to do it on the server | 06:24 |
| Wyzerd | bobby77: which IRC client do you use? It should list the servers of many IRC networks, and each has a list of channels. | 06:25 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-sounds/+bug/411476 | 06:25 |
| bobby77 | i see the networks but not the channels | 06:25 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-question.wav | 06:25 |
| jmichaelx | chelz: it fixed things in firefox, but the sound being used in chromium is different, and apparently from a different directory | 06:25 |
| histo | bobby77: you can search on there for chanels there are popular ones listed right on that link | 06:25 |
| bobby77 | thanks for the link | 06:26 |
| jmichaelx | chelz: i have already renamed dialog-question.ogg | 06:26 |
| Wyzerd | bobby77: the channels are probably listed in your IRC application (XCHAT, irssi, weechat etc) Which do you use? I can help you, its much better than going to a website like that. | 06:26 |
| hp00p | hey guys, I have a cpl ubuntu's on this HD and I just deleted one.. my boot loader was on that one so when I restart its probably going to say I have no OS like last time, wondering if I can fix this | 06:27 |
| hp00p | how can I edit my boot loader | 06:27 |
| hp00p | or overwrite it | 06:27 |
| Wyzerd | hp00p: use a live cd and reinstall Grub. Hold on, Ill get a link for you | 06:27 |
| jmichaelx | chelz: i believe the sound chromium is making is coming from another directory. i cannot imagine who thought these sounds up, and enabled them by default | 06:28 |
| hp00p | is that the only way ? I dont live my ubuntu cd with me | 06:28 |
| hp00p | live = have | 06:28 |
| nomad77 | !grub2 |hp00p | 06:29 |
| ubottu | hp00p: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 06:29 |
| Wyzerd | hp00p: This should work, even though it says its for something different. It will help you reinstall Grub, and thats what you need. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 06:29 |

| histo | CR3AL: do you have a rt2860 card? | 06:29 |
| histo | !proxy | sYskk | 06:30 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: well you could hunt through the kde sound directories to see if any of those are the ones that are playing | 06:30 |
| chelz | sYskk: most people like privoxy and polipo. maybe squid. | 06:30 |
| histo | !squid | sYskk | 06:31 |
| ubottu | sYskk: squid is a caching proxy for the Web. See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquidGuard See: http://www.squid-cache.org | 06:31 |
| Scunizi | jmichaelx: search your system for .wav and .ogg files play them until you find the offending sound and you'll know what directory they are in. | 06:31 |

| a3ist | lyrae_, check your logs to see what happens before/when it freezes | 06:48 |
| foreste | stupid kde 4.4 ;/ | 06:48 |
| lyrae_ | a3ist, i am, but theres like 1000 log files haha. still checking | 06:48 |
| lyrae_ | it froze at 1:44 so, checking @ that time | 06:49 |
| lyrae_ | also, xorg log has no time stamp | 06:49 |
| bastid_raZor | Wage: not that i know of. your script will need some sort of 'su - username' then exec pidgin | 06:49 |
| a3ist | lyrae_, you can filter them by date, as well as use the "tail" function to check the last X number of lines from a file. Grep is good for filtering results to a specific date/time window as well. | 06:49 |
| foreste | not work phonon ,not sound in kde 4.4 ;/ | 06:49 |
| lyrae_ | a3ist, using the log viewer | 06:49 |
| bastid_raZor | Wage: good luck, i'm off to bed. | 06:50 |

| a3ist | lyrae_, learn some of the CLI stuff, it goes so much quicker and offers so much more finesse for finding the right entries | 06:50 |

| histo | beatbreaker: you can install it | 06:56 |
| a3ist | lyrae_, do you notice it freezing during specific functions or is it more or less random? Is the computer on the same circuit in your home as other power hungry devices? Air conditioners can cause big fluctuations in power. | 06:56 |
| acicula | yeah unless its a real pos thats not it then | 06:56 |
| chelz | jmichaelx: bit of a scorched-earth fix but yeah, as long as you as a user are happy | 06:56 |
| Loshki | lyrae_: Any idea what brand PSU it uses? The off brands are notorious. Also, you could stick a fan in it near the GPU & see if it helps/// | 06:56 |
| histo | beatbreaker: sudo apt-get install apt-file | 06:56 |
| beatbreaker | histo, thanks | 06:56 |
| histo | beatbreaker: then youc an use it | 06:56 |
| jmichaelx | scunizi: ty.... now when in kde, i have sound for skype notifications, etc, but do not get weird noises clicking window buttons in firefox or chromium browser | 06:57 |
| a3ist | lyrae_, the biggest priority overall is finding the right logs for before it freezes. If its software related, or the system logs hardware probs before freezing, it will show up there. If there's nothing in the logs, it's most likely hardware alone. | 06:57 |
| lyrae_ | a3ist, dont think its software. couldnt find anything in the logs. at 01:44 | 06:58 |
| acicula | does the system freeze or just the gui | 06:58 |
| beatbreaker | where can i get libstdc++5 from? | 06:58 |
| jmichaelx | chelz: i cannot see how it is a scorched-earth fix... in kde no one wants or needs those sounds.... and even in gnome, the first thing i usually do is mute them/shut them off | 06:58 |
| lyrae_ | how can i tell? the GUI freezes, but if the gui is froze, how can i tell the system's working | 06:58 |
| Loshki | a3ist: I can't remember the last time I saw a software-related freeze, but then I'm still running 8.04... | 06:59 |
| a3ist | lyrae_, in that case trying a ghetto-cooling method like loshki mentioned might help. try taking the side off the computer, make sure its not stuck in a tight cabinet, and possibly put a box or desk fan near it to help it disperse the ambient heat | 06:59 |
| tvaughn | Loshki: if the file opens ok doesnt that mean it was a temporary problem? the people in hardware are too busy talkinga bout drugs | 06:59 |
| acicula | lyrae_, well anything in the logs at 1:45? alternatively you can install sshd or some network servvice like sharing files and see if that still works | 06:59 |
| acidchild | Hello, My DVD drive says 'medium not found' but... the drive works... any suggestions? | 06:59 |
| lyrae_ | this is the psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703009 | 06:59 |
| acicula | acidchild, needsadisc? | 06:59 |
| a3ist | acidchild, "medium" is the disc that goes IN the drive | 06:59 |
| R_001 | Hello, I'm founding a new company, and I want to know what is the basics servers, and IT services which I need, e.g backup and emails | 07:00 |
| R_001 | does anyone recommend anything ? | 07:00 |
| acidchild | yup the DVD in the drive works perfectly okey. | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | R_001, Arch Linux | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | o.o | 07:00 |
| a3ist | R_001, this isn't the channel for that | 07:00 |
| acidchild | and i installed the OS using the CD drive so i know the drive is fine. | 07:00 |
| a3ist | hahaha nevermind, Valkyrie is right | 07:00 |
| lyrae_ | alright ill put a fan next to it | 07:00 |
| R_001 | a3ist: which chanel shall I use ? | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | xD! | 07:00 |
| llanero | Valkyrie: what | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | Thank you. | 07:00 |
| acidchild | dmesg or even syslog isn't displaying anything useful. 'eject' fails also... even after a hardreset of the device. | 07:00 |
| R_001 | Valkyrie: what arch linux for ? | 07:00 |
| Valkyrie | R_001, Go to #archlinux | 07:00 |
| acidchild | it just flashs over and over. | 07:01 |
| Valkyrie | R_001, Where the pro's lie. | 07:01 |
| servidor_ | ldapadd -D cn=admin,cn=config -w password -x -f /usr/ldifs/phpgwaccount.ldif helpme ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) | 07:01 |
| R_001 | Valkyrie: thank you very much :) | 07:01 |
| a3ist | R_001, I don't really mean to sound condescending or anything, but if you don't even know the basics of what a server does or what IT involves, you're probably not ready to start a new company. | 07:01 |
| acicula | o_I | 07:01 |
| openmindj | hi everyone | 07:01 |
| a3ist | R_001, your best bet is to find a business partner who knows the technical side of things. | 07:02 |
| Valkyrie | R_001, Not a problem. Ubuntu will make yur servers look like rabbits | 07:02 |
| Valkyrie | So. | 07:02 |
| Loshki | tvaughn: I can see I'm obviously in the wrong channel. The issue is that over time, disks tend to develop bad sectors and reallocate them. Eventually, they run out of spare sectors and then the disk is no longer reliable. My concern is that your disk is rather young to be developing it's first bad sectors. It could be a one-off, in which case it's fine, or the beginning of a trend because you got a bad one. I would use smartd to monitor | 07:02 |
| Loshki | the disk and run nightly selftests if you decide to keep it... | 07:02 |
| sebsebseb | Can someone remind me where the file for the repos is located? | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | LOL | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | LOL @ where are repos | 07:03 |
| openmindj | is it easy to setup a home ubuntu server on a pc? | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | xDDDD | 07:03 |
| llanero | sebsebseb: /etc/aptsomething/ | 07:03 |
| sebsebseb | Valkyrie: not at all since I tend to use another distro these days etc | 07:03 |
| bazhang | Valkyrie, that's enough | 07:03 |
| llanero | sebsebseb: havent used debian in a while | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | bazhang, Sowwwy masta | 07:03 |
| lyrae_ | openmindj, if you have an onboard broadcom, no | 07:03 |
| Valkyrie | ): | 07:03 |
| scunizi | openmindj: yep.. but it also depends on what you want to do with it. | 07:03 |
| sebsebseb | llanero: yeah I was t hinking /etc/apt or something | 07:03 |
| openmindj | oh | 07:04 |
| sebsebseb | llanero: bingo there it is | 07:04 |
| Loshki | openmindj: it really depends on how much experience you have with linux systems. It might be quite trying for a beginner... | 07:04 |
| openmindj | i am kindof a beginner..lol...but at times i seem to catch on pretty fast | 07:05 |
| sebsebseb | llanero: maybe I should have just browsed the file system, but thanks | 07:05 |

| jmcantrell | my asus laptop's webcam video is flipped vertically. how do i fix this? | 07:06 |
| Valkyrie | Fireko! | 07:06 |
| Valkyrie | How've you been, buddy! | 07:06 |
| a3ist | openmindj, a lot of it depends on what exactly you're looking to do. A home server could mean everything from managing your network, to hosting files, or working as a media pc with your home theater. What functionality are you looking for? | 07:06 |
| lyrae_ | ok its not CPU. i just had 'top' open, and held ctrl+t in firefox. i must've opened over 500 tabs. top shows cpu when to 94%, mem 12% | 07:06 |
| Valkyrie | Sooo | 07:06 |
| lyrae_ | system still goign strong | 07:06 |
| Fireko | hi | 07:06 |
| Fireko | hi | 07:06 |
| Fireko | hi | 07:06 |
| FloodBot1 | Fireko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:06 |
| openmindj | could a server create automatic backup of each of my pc's that would be connected to it? | 07:06 |
| openmindj | thats what i would imagine using it for | 07:06 |
| a3ist | lyrae_, normally I'd recommend benchmarking software for stress testing but I'm not familiar with the linux options there | 07:07 |
| acicula | openmindj, yup | 07:07 |
| Fireko | How do I run ubuntu? the disk won't fit in the drive | 07:07 |
| llanero | sebsebseb: no prob | 07:07 |
| openmindj | cool | 07:07 |
| a3ist | o_O | 07:07 |
| acicula | Fireko, what drive? | 07:07 |
| Fireko | The one with the button o.o | 07:07 |
| scunizi | Fireko: it goes in the cdrom not the floppy drive.. or are you talking about burning it to cd? | 07:07 |
| a3ist | openmindj, if you're looking to just backup your files, the new Ubuntu One cloud would make it very very easy. For backing up larger amounts of data it's still fairly easy, but not quite as point-and-click as the cloud approach. | 07:08 |
| acidchild | Well, it seems ubuntu have made a boo boo with this DVD drive, lots of people experiancing the same issue as i. | 07:08 |
| Fireko | Like, I put it into the little slot thing. And, it goes whirr a shitload - Then just stops and pops back out | 07:08 |
| acidchild | if my BIOS can read it, its a damn shame Ubuntu's patched up mess of a OS can't. | 07:08 |
| bazhang | Fireko, watch the language | 07:08 |
| * scunizi sniffs the winds for a troll | 07:09 | |
| openmindj | and is there a major benefit towards hosting your own domain on a personal server verse paying for web hosting?? | 07:09 |
| llanero | !ops Fireko | 07:09 |
| Valkyrie | o.O | 07:09 |
| bazhang | llanero, what's up | 07:09 |
| llanero | bazhang: troll | 07:09 |
| lyrae_ | lol | 07:09 |
| llanero | bazhang: multi nicking with Valkyrie | 07:09 |
| Fireko | I'm being serious!! | 07:09 |
| Fireko | The DVD-drive just pops the ubuntu 10.04 disk back out | 07:10 |
| a3ist | openmindj, it depends how much data you're moving, how often, and where from. If its just on a local area network, like between the computers in your home with the occasional remote login, there's no reason to bother with web hosting | 07:10 |
| Fireko | Should I try ordering a disk? | 07:11 |
| lyrae_ | Fireko, if you have a usb stick, try using that | 07:11 |
| a3ist | openmindj, however if you're talking about consistently streaming media remotely or transferring large files over your internet connection, a managed host would be a better solution. | 07:11 |
| openmindj | oh, ok...thanks for the advice | 07:11 |
| lyrae_ | Fireko, yes. buy 400 disks and give them to everyone you know | 07:11 |
| Fireko | Lyrae_ Thanks! You're actually helpfull | 07:11 |
| scunizi | a3ist: openmindj unless your running a CMR program via web | 07:11 |
| jk70_ | fireko:Ubuntu is a C.D.. | 07:11 |
| lyrae_ | Fireko, hey, my usb suggestion was valid | 07:12 |
| a3ist | CMR? | 07:12 |
| scunizi | jk70_: you can put it on a usb as well... | 07:12 |
| openmindj | whats CMR? | 07:12 |
| openmindj | lol | 07:12 |
| a3ist | I don't recognize the acronym either | 07:12 |
| jk70_ | scunzi:great idea. | 07:12 |
| scunizi | a3ist: sorry CRM.. customer relationship manager .. tracks clients, appointments, sales funnel, potential leads etc. | 07:12 |
| a3ist | oh, CRM, sure | 07:13 |
| openmindj | k | 07:13 |
| a3ist | scunizi, he made it sound like it was more personal-use and not commercial | 07:13 |
| servidor_ | ldapadd -D cn=admin,cn=config -w password -x -f /usr/ldifs/phpgwaccount.ldif helpme ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) | 07:13 |
| Valkyrie | Alright | 07:13 |
| scunizi | a3ist: true.. some of us work from home though.. | 07:13 |
| a3ist | setting up public-facing CRM is a whooooole 'nother can of worms involving setting up encryption, certificates, etc | 07:14 |
| Fireko | Okay! The usb stick woudn't fit either - the drive wouldn't close | 07:14 |
| shiba_ | mya? | 07:14 |
| scunizi | a3ist: not thinking public facing.. just running on the lan.. | 07:14 |
| shiba_ | ok, question | 07:14 |
| a3ist | scunizi, true, but there's also a difference between using your home connection to do do work related functions from home, and running the business outright | 07:14 |
| shiba_ | i just started the newest version of ubuntu netbook edition | 07:14 |

| cuckoo | sorry | 07:15 |
| a3ist | scunizi, openmindj, the point is my impression was that this server would be for personal use. Is this true, openmindj, or is this for a business related function? | 07:15 |
| Fireko | Am I supposed to put it in the drive? Or the little slo on the side of my laptop | 07:15 |
| scunizi | a3ist: there are some businesses that are home based.. like real estate, home loans that type of thing.. you don't always have an office to go to. | 07:15 |
| openmindj | yes | 07:15 |
| shiba_ | in fact, racter how do i tell it to go back to GNU? because it doesn' unlock | 07:15 |
| moetunes | Valkyrie: Fireko give it up mate | 07:15 |
| openmindj | personal | 07:15 |
| roygbiv | on my 9.04 box when i login a window pops up asking for my password and it sets up my wireless and also loads my ssh keys. but with 10.04 now it no longer loads my ssh keys at login. any ideas how to fix this? | 07:15 |
| bazhang | Fireko, see your PM | 07:15 |
| Valkyrie | o.o wtf am I doing? | 07:16 |
| Valkyrie | I'm actually helping people | 07:16 |
| Valkyrie | Like that R_001 guy | 07:16 |
| bazhang | Valkyrie, watch the language | 07:16 |
| Valkyrie | bazhang, Sorry, mate | 07:16 |
| a3ist | scunizi, listen, I know there's plenty of circumstances where that's true. But those aren't the ones openmindj is interested in or needs to worry about. | 07:16 |
| Fireko | I never got a pm thingy | 07:16 |
| moetunes | Valkyrie: you were told in #archlinux too | 07:16 |
| bazhang | Fireko, I suggest you and Valkyrie desist immediately | 07:16 |
| === guestt15SO3 is now known as jontreu | ||
| Valkyrie | Can I ask why MY name is being said? =/ | 07:17 |
| openmindj | its still interesting to learn all that i can, but yea for now, i was just interested in setting up a server for personal use | 07:17 |
| sebsebseb | llanero: ok and once the repos are changed, remind me of the command to reload them. | 07:17 |
| Guest95789 | I installed 9.10 on an old laptop, seems to work fine except when I open a folder with the file browser, it freezes up when I attempt to scroll through the folder. I messed with the mouse settings to no avail. Any ideas? | 07:17 |
| scunizi | a3ist: very true.. he's green.. that's why it was an offhand comment and not a recommendation.. | 07:17 |
| bazhang | sebsebseb, sudo apt-get update ? | 07:18 |
| llanero | sebsebseb: i have got no idea pal, i dont use apt anymore ;) try doing it from aptitude | 07:18 |
| scunizi | sebsebseb: sudo apt-get update is what you're looking for.. aptitude is the same .. sudo aptitude update | 07:19 |
| abuayyoub | histo, I was wondering if someone could help me out. I used to have windows on this computer and when I was resizing the c: partition to install ubuntu on it something happened and it got trashed. The partition is still there but I can't seem to access the data. How can I access it? Do I need to mount it? | 07:19 |
| a3ist | scunizi, openmindj, regardless I think that you'll find that your needs will be pretty well met by the out-of-the-box solutions in ubuntu, and additional ones should be fairly easy if you make use of the prodigious amount of community documentation available. | 07:19 |
| sebsebseb | scunizi: yep I know that apt-get and aptitude are nearly the same thing | 07:19 |
| Valkyrie | There. Ye' have what ya wish. I stop - fer now. | 07:19 |
| Valkyrie | Peace ^^ | 07:19 |
| llanero | sebsebseb: aptitude has a ui | 07:19 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: bingo thats what I was after, not done anything with repos for a while | 07:19 |
| roygbiv | abuayyoub you might be better off going to a windoze channel and asking how to recover a trashed windoze partition | 07:20 |
| sebsebseb | llanero: yep can be run from the terminal, I know | 07:20 |
| bazhang | sebsebseb, perhaps a read of the manual for such basic stuff | 07:20 |
| bazhang | !manual | sebsebseb | 07:20 |
| ubottu | sebsebseb: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 07:20 |
| openmindj | a3ist, does the ubuntu server functions from a command line? | 07:20 |
| openmindj | or desktop, or both? | 07:21 |
| a3ist | openmindj, the kind of stuff I mentioned and that you seem to be interested in is pretty much all available through GUI programs in ubuntu | 07:21 |
| abuayyoub | roygbiv, Sure... Anyone have any real advice for me? I just need access to a couple of files on there so I can format the whole partition. | 07:21 |
| openmindj | cool | 07:21 |
| sebsebseb | bazhang: heh :D you know I know quite a lot of stuff, but sometimes mind can go blank on basics | 07:21 |

| undecim | Jay1: My laptop is falling apart and the touchpad is the next thing gone out. I often have to wiggle the switch (i've removed the plastic button) to get it to release the mouse button so that I can tap-click on stuff. | 07:31 |
| undecim | Jay1: Now I'm using an external mouse and keep the touchpad off. | 07:31 |
| Jay1 | undecim, I was about to suggest that | 07:31 |
| duckwars | i'm sorry, but how do I turn into root user, not just sudo for a line? | 07:32 |
| undecim | Jay1: There's no bios option for it. | 07:32 |

| kyle_l5l | duckwars, sudo su - | 07:32 |
| duckwars | thank you kindly | 07:32 |

| a3ist | undecim, jay1, I'm not as familiar with the ubuntu loading procedure as I am with arch's, but there's gotta be a way to blacklist the device or its drivers. | 07:33 |
| duckwars | acicula: thank you, I actually had to do it in os x, it does some weird stuff in comand line (like not let me see the file /var/root/.ssh) | 07:33 |
| Kruxer | hello | 07:34 |
| Jay1 | what machine, undecim ? | 07:34 |
| undecim | a3ist: It's a mouse. The driver would be the same driver that is being used for the external mouse I'm replacing it with. | 07:34 |
| acicula | undecim, a3ist /etc/modules.d/blacklist.conf | 07:34 |
| acicula | !blacklist | 07:34 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 07:34 |

| Kruxer | I want to install an application from source and befor i want to install all the repos...I forgot the command, can u tell me that? | 07:34 |
| undecim | a3ist: Would the mouse buttons be included in synaptic as well? | 07:35 |
| acicula | oh the synaptic driver, that wont work via blacklisting kernelmods | 07:35 |
| scunizi | vbl: you have to say what the issue is.. before anyone will answer | 07:35 |
| undecim | only one way to find out, I guess... | 07:35 |
| a3ist | undecim, I don't believe so. I'm about 80% sure you'd be able to still use a mouse just fine after blacklisting the touchpad. | 07:35 |
| a3ist | undecim, and yeah if it doesn't work you can always undo it | 07:35 |
| acicula | Kruxer, thats not actually possible, can you be more specific as to what you want to install | 07:35 |
| undecim | What is the name of the synaptics driver... I don't have any "synaptic" module loaded. | 07:36 |
| vbl | scunizi: I will be getting connection refused error while playing for a while.. And the pulseaudio daemon also will not be running. I need to execute pulseaudio -D, to start again | 07:36 |
| Kruxer | acicula, pidgin :) | 07:36 |
| abuayyoub | Hi can someone help me out. I have an old windows partition that was damaged when resizing to put ubuntu. The partition is still there but I think the OS Is shot. It is listed in Gparted as /dev/sda3 I tried to mount it but it keeps saying "You must specify the filesystem type" anyone have any ideas?\ | 07:37 |
| a3ist | undecim, run this and see if you get anything: "dpkg -l | grep synaptic" | 07:37 |
| scunizi | vbl: sudo service pulseaudio restart .. you might want to killall pulseaudio first | 07:37 |
| undecim | a3ist: synaptic and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 07:38 |
| acicula | Kruxer, sudo apt-get install pidgin ? | 07:38 |
| vbl | scunizi: Why this problem is coming.. ?? What is this connection refused mean.. I'm not playing from internet.. | 07:38 |
| a3ist | undecim, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics would be the touchpad driver | 07:38 |
| scunizi | vbl: I don't know | 07:38 |
| undecim | a3ist: I don't see it in lsmod. | 07:38 |
| Kruxer | acicula, ;) | 07:39 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my sons desktop and changed form the installed default display driver to the propriatery driver from the hardware driver manager. Rebooted and now all I get is a blank screen. Currently able to get into terminal by pressing Alt +F1 but have no idea how to switch back to the previous default drivers from here. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated? | 07:39 |
| a3ist | undecim, it doesn't show up there. I just ran lsmod on my laptop which uses synaptic drivers and it isn't there. | 07:39 |
| undecim | a3ist: Then is there any way to remove the drivers other than removing those packages and restarting GDM? | 07:40 |
| lgp | Hi | 07:40 |
| a3ist | undecim, there's gonna be a way with rmmod (modprobe's remove driver function), I'm just checking for the exact syntax for you | 07:40 |
| acicula | a3ist, its not a kernel driver but an xorg driver | 07:41 |
| scunizi | SpaceCowboy40404: while in terminal try sudo service gdm stop .. then do a full update.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. then try to start the gui again with sudo service gdm start | 07:41 |
| a3ist | acicula, undecim, oh I didn't even think of that | 07:41 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | scunizi: trying that now, thx for your help | 07:41 |

| undecim | acicula: I didn't know there was a difference... fglrx shows up in lsmod... | 07:42 |
| a3ist | acicula, undecim, well when I ran modprobe -l and ran grep on it, I found "kernel/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.ko" | 07:42 |
| vbl | can anyone help me... | 07:42 |
| Guest18708 | yeah | 07:42 |

| Guest18708 | whats up | 07:43 |
| a3ist | undecim, since it shows up for modprobe you could try "rmmod synaptics_i2c" | 07:43 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | scunizi: did exactly that and now im back at the blank screen again... it didnt find any updates | 07:43 |
| debjit | SpaceCowboy40404, xorg.conf file? | 07:44 |
| undecim | a3ist: ERROR: Module synaptics_i2c does not exist in /proc/modules | 07:44 |
| gandajh | hai | 07:44 |
| a3ist | undecim, the other alternative is checking out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad and using some of the customization functionality for the touchpad to actively disable certain functions of it | 07:44 |
| vbl | sebsebseb: when I play songs in ubuntu 8.04 LTS after sometime connection refused error is coming.. Any fix is availble for this. | 07:44 |
| scunizi | SpaceCowboy40404: if you reboot there is the recovery kernel in grub.. go there and you'll have options to reconfigure video | 07:44 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | debjit: not sure what your talking about | 07:45 |
| Guest18708 | hi gandajh | 07:45 |
| scunizi | debjit: xorg.conf doesn't have video control unless you hand write it. | 07:45 |
| gandajh | hai | 07:45 |
| gandajh | guest | 07:45 |
| gandajh | how are you | 07:45 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | scunizi: i should be able to just press esc when booting right to get that option? tried that and it doesnt work | 07:45 |
| Guest18708 | good u | 07:45 |
| gandajh | find... | 07:45 |
| scunizi | SpaceCowboy40404: use to just show up.. esc was an option... perhaps holding down shift or ctrl or windows key | 07:46 |
| undecim | a3ist: I think I'll just remove the synaptics package. I won't be able to test if it stops the buttons too, until some stuff I'm doing in X is done, but if it doesn't work, I'm just going to get out the screwdriver and disconnect it completely. | 07:46 |
| toolbear | hi. when i try using "gdm-stop" to get to the command line, it just gives me a blank screen instead. i can still type words onto the screen, but they won't function as commands | 07:46 |
| toolbear | is there any way to prevent this from happening? | 07:47 |
| scunizi | toolbear: where did you type gdm-stop? | 07:47 |
| disappearedng | How do I download the /etc/init.d/mongod startup script in ubuntu? | 07:47 |
| toolbear | in gnome-terminal | 07:47 |
| undecim | toolbear: What was wrong with the gnome-terminal command line? | 07:47 |
| scunizi | toolbear: that's not the right place.. ctrl+alt+F2 will get you to a tty.. kinda like a termial.. then issue the command.. ctrl+alt+F7 is where the gui lives. | 07:48 |
| debjit | scunizi, is there no way specify the display driver from command line | 07:48 |
| besogon | good morning. How can I use different keyrings for NetworkManager and evolution? | 07:48 |
| vbl | please anyone help me to fix the issue posted above....... | 07:48 |
| toolbear | undecim: there's nothing wrong, but i wanted to run "nvidia-xconfig", and the x-server has to be stopped for that | 07:48 |
| undecim | toolbear: If you want to use a virtual console, like I assume you were trying to access, press ctrl+alt+fX where X is a number 1-6. Press Ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to graphical | 07:49 |
| SpaceCowboy40404 | scunizi: holding shift brought it up | 07:49 |
| undecim | toolbear: Press alt+f1 when you're at the blank screen then. | 07:49 |
| scunizi | debjit: yes.. you can put it in xorg.conf if you know how | 07:49 |
| scunizi | undecim: that's ctrl+alt+f1-6 | 07:50 |
| Guest18708 | whats the difference between tty and terminal | 07:50 |
| toolbear | undecim: ok, i guess that works, thanks! | 07:50 |
| greezmunkey | Guest18708: functionally, nothing. | 07:50 |
| undecim | scunizi: The ctrl is only neccesary when in X. | 07:51 |
| Guest18708 | thanks noob 8D | 07:51 |

| dmcquay | undecim, yes | 08:02 |
| domino14 | so i selected get the new one. now it's setting up all sorts of stuff for hte last 10 minutes... "setting up evince.. setting up python-vte.. etc etc etc" | 08:02 |
| undecim | vbl: When pulseaudio is not running, your music should play. You may need to restart your player if pulse was running when it started. | 08:02 |
| domino14 | i dont know what is going on | 08:03 |
| scunizi | domino14: dkms typically is used for 3rd party stuff that does kernel mods.. like virtualbox or nvidia drivers from their site.. we'll see .. let it run .. hopefully it'll fix stuff. | 08:03 |
| moetunes | domino14: it is finishing the upgrade for some reason | 08:03 |
| vbl | undecim: I can make the music come back by closing music player and typing pulseaudio -D.. Anyother good solution is there for this.. | 08:03 |
| Guest18708 | pulseaudio :-D | 08:04 |
| undecim | vbl: Only thing I can suggest is removing pulse. That's what I did on my computer and sound system has been great since. | 08:04 |

| undecim | domino14: scunizi: I could be wrong, but I think that the packages are set up to have at least one old kernel left as an option by default. So you will still have 4 options (a normal and recovery mode for the new and old kernels) | 08:13 |

| === mcl0vin_ is now known as mcl0vin | ||
| AhmedBH | soreau: But all those lamp effects workin...doesnt that mean that its ENABLED ?correctly | 08:19 |
| pallgone | vbl: it's a part of the old grub, grub2 has a new system | 08:20 |
| gaetano | come si trovano le liste | 08:20 |
| AhmedBH | soreau: actually i just discovered i didnt had compiz-fusion-plugins-extra | 08:20 |
| vbl | pallgone: OK | 08:20 |

| sabat | does 8.4mb/sec sound right for a pc-pc transfer? I'm copying using samba, from one linux pc to another. | 08:21 |
| Beyecixramd | is there a way to detect (with an .exe) file if the user is running Wine or native Windows? | 08:21 |
| vbl | Hi all, anyone now to make 4 speaker surrounding make work in ALSA without using pulse.. | 08:22 |
| AhmedBH | soreau: Its not getting installed saying something else is using the process its not a program but i guess i opened synaptic while ago causing trouble lemme restar BRB | 08:22 |
| sabat | 100mbit network cards. | 08:22 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: why not PA? | 08:22 |
| Guest18708 | Beyecixramd, its bad | 08:22 |
| undecim | sabat: 100mbit should be about 12 MB/s max. | 08:22 |
| greezmunkey | sabat: sounds slow to me, what kind of switch are you using? | 08:22 |
| sabat | undecim: so gettin 8.4 isn't something I should complain about? | 08:23 |
| gaetano | !list | 08:23 |
| ubottu | This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » | 08:23 |
| vbl | Beyecixramd: it is giving me lots of issues. So I thought of using ALSA. If anyone can help me to slove issue. I can go with pulse | 08:23 |
| undecim | sabat: Obviously it will be a little less because there will be network latency and some lost in protocol | 08:23 |
| sabat | I mean, I really am not complaining, just wondering if it's slow for it. | 08:23 |
| === cHocoLate is now known as Limyan | ||
| undecim | sabat: You could probably do better than 8.4 somehow, but that's a pretty good rate for a network transfer. | 08:23 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: wouldn't it be better to solve those issues? just asking | 08:23 |
| greezmunkey | sabat: ahh, mb/s or MB/s makes an 8:1 differance - heh | 08:24 |
| dustNbone | sabat: If you're transferring a bunch of small files, the throughput could easily drop that low just from filesystem overhead. | 08:24 |
| sabat | I used to have a gigabit switch, but it fried[the Power supply went bad] so I am not complaining, just curious if that was right, but it sound decent | 08:24 |
| vbl | Beyecixramd: Ya it is fine.. I will tell you the issue.. | 08:24 |
| sabat | ok, 11 hours to go :) transferring 460gb worth of crap, mostly 600-800mb movie files | 08:25 |
| dustNbone | sabat: it's in the ballpark. Anything over 10MB a second is gravy :) Go Gigabit if you need to do large transfers | 08:25 |
| undecim | sabat: It's around the proper speed for a network transfer. If you wanted, you could get upwards of 10 MB/s if you connect the computers directly. | 08:25 |
| sabat | ok. so I guess I am ok then | 08:25 |
| dustNbone | Any crappy switch should be able to do 100mbps. Then again, I've never bought a crappy switch. | 08:26 |
| moetunes | sabat: write speed to the hd plays a part as well | 08:26 |
| sabat | I juat wanted to get an opinion on whether or not that was right. I haven't used my NIC's at 100mbps for a long time. | 08:26 |
| sabat | they are gigabit, but the switch isn't right now | 08:26 |
| vbl | Beyecixramd>I'm getting connection refused in pulseaudio while playing music for a while. After this pulseaudio daemon will not be running. When i enable verbose. I get this message in system log before connection refused. You can check this link to find the message http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=ZgE3dpxV | 08:26 |
| sabat | so my problem is the switch. | 08:26 |
| Ganymede | hey, i'm on ubuntu lucid desktop and i would like to make my keyboard repeat rate slower...tried moving the slider in system -> prefrences -> keyboard but it appears to have no effect... | 08:26 |
| domino14 | s0ke | 08:26 |
| dustNbone | sabat: If it's a huge transfer you need to get done, it may be worth just running a crossover cable and assigning static IPs | 08:27 |
| undecim | sabat: Two gigabit NICs? I would definitely connect those computers directly if it were on option. | 08:27 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: so ALSA works fine? | 08:27 |
| sabat | ya, i've got MDF setup, but the pc's are acrossed my house. | 08:27 |
| dustNbone | Ganymede, see if there is a setting in your BIOS, it may override the OS setting. | 08:27 |
| AhmedBH | Back | 08:28 |
| undecim | sabat: With a crossover connection, the transfer would only be slowed down by your hard drives' read and write speeds. | 08:28 |
| AhmedBH | i still can' | 08:28 |
| Ganymede | dustNbone, oh true, that's a good point (unfortunately, i'm not in a position to reboot this desktop right now) | 08:28 |
| sabat | I could put a crossover inbetween them, but frankly, I'm gonna goto bed soon, then goto work when I get up... so it will be done by the time I get home tomorrow, so screw it. | 08:28 |
| zultell | hello | 08:28 |
| Guest94819 | =-O | 08:28 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> I didn't tried, Thats what I tried to use ALSA.. As soon as when I use pulse I get this type of problem | 08:28 |
| zultell | i need help | 08:28 |
| AhmedBH | i still can't get extra effects for compiz what should i instal @_@ | 08:28 |
| zultell | i got this error y | 08:28 |
| Kiasanth | Hi all, for some reason some apps in ubuntu 10.04 have stopped working... "about Ubuntu", Software Centre, VirtualBox.... the menu items suddenly do nothing, I've tried re-installing these apps but it didn't work... any help? | 08:28 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: do you know that PA is ALSA improved, right? | 08:28 |
| dustNbone | sabat, OK fine then. Screw you too :P | 08:28 |
| dustNbone | :) | 08:28 |

| Guest94819 | :-/ | 08:29 |
| Guest94819 | :-( | 08:29 |
| zultell | can anyone help me | 08:29 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk I get no messages, and everything else seems uneffected | 08:29 |
| Guest18708 | dont use the software center its for noobs | 08:29 |
| Guest94819 | :'( | 08:29 |
| undecim | AhmedBH: You need to make sure you have compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package installed and have the "Animations Add-On" plugin in addition to the normal "Animations" plugin enabled in compiz | 08:29 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: that's a no hehe | 08:29 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, what exactly do you mean? I think i misunderstood your question. | 08:30 |
| Guest94819 | ไม่เข้าใจอ้า | 08:30 |
| poland | I think I need to set eth1 as default (192.168.1.10) but don't know how. When eth0 is configured (10.0.0.10) the Firefox is unable to resolve www addresses. Please help... | 08:30 |
| AhmedBH | undecim: wait | 08:30 |
| sabat | once I get the new switch[already ordered. just not here yet] then it WOULD go faster, but I was just wanting to know if the speed was too slow for 100mbit. aparrently it's norm, or near norm at least, so I'm fine. | 08:30 |
| masterslakk | anyone know how to make a virtual network with ubuntu boxes in virtualbox? | 08:30 |
| Guest94819 | ไม่เข้าใจอ้า:'( | 08:30 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: when I select "About Ubuntu" or "Software Centre" or VirtualBox" from the ubuntu menu's nothing happens | 08:30 |
| AhmedBH | how do i install Animations Add-On ????? huh | 08:30 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> No i used to get issue with pulseaudio always... | 08:31 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, did you upgrade? | 08:31 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: nope, fresh install on the day it came out | 08:31 |
| undecim | AhmedBH: Animations Add-On is included in compiz-fusion-plugins-extra, I believe. | 08:31 |
| domino14 | i'm purging a package i installed with "gdebi" and it wants me to remove 71 other packages that look useful | 08:31 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, a lot of the programs from 9.10 and below don't work or changed dramatically... | 08:31 |
| sabat | I had an old machine I was runnig my linux server on, and local file storage. but I got a new one with a 2TB file server in it, and I just need to transfer the old crap to the new pc | 08:31 |
| domino14 | they all have a {u} after them | 08:31 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: hmmm... why don't you search on the internet for the error message PA gives you? | 08:31 |
| sabat | not like I am in demand of high speed for this. | 08:31 |
| AhmedBH | i have that... installed minute ago still nothing extra seem to be working | 08:31 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: i'm sure it's more or less common | 08:31 |
| domino14 | like libqt4-gui{u} --- surely that is useful, i develop with Qt | 08:31 |
| AhmedBH | should i have compiz and extra plugins thats all ? | 08:32 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, hmmm. i had a problem with vmware workstation... it wouldn't open at all from the menu... i'm not sure how to fix the | 08:32 |
| masterslakk | problem... i would suggest that you back everything up that has importance... then reinstall OS... | 08:32 |
| undecim | AhmedBH: That should be all you need. Do you not see the Animations Add-On in CCSM? | 08:32 |
| maelaian | Is the 10.04 known to be buggy where the previous installer would work fine? | 08:32 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> Ok can you help me to solve this issue in pulseaudio | 08:32 |
| sabat | And I am assuming using samba-samba is pretty stupid seeing that I am using linux, ftp/ssh would be faster, I am guessing, but I am fine with it. | 08:32 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, or wait intill someone more knowledgeable can help you... i just started working with ubuntu about six months ago | 08:33 |
| AhmedBH | No i dont see anyhing CCSM | 08:33 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: yeah, that was what I was gonna try if this channel couldn't suggest an alternative | 08:33 |
| AhmedBH | @_@ | 08:33 |
| undecim | AhmedBH: it should be right next to animations, and has a paper airplane logo | 08:33 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: all good, we all have to start at the beginning ;) | 08:33 |
| AhmedBH | wait | 08:33 |
| masterslakk | and 3 months ago start playing with it profoundly | 08:33 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, open a terminal, and run the command "vmware" (minus quotes) and tell me what (if anything) is returned to the terminal | 08:33 |
| domino14 | there's something called libass3? | 08:33 |
| masterslakk | :) true... very true | 08:33 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: no because i don't really know why does that happen | 08:33 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: please use Google, i'm sure you'll find your answer | 08:34 |
| alket | Can you make a web site hosted at Ubuntu ONE ? | 08:34 |
| masterslakk | dustnbone, i don't use vmware any more... | 08:34 |
| AhmedBH | undecim: Thanks man i just enable it now i have all those i had in karmic | 08:34 |
| AhmedBH | :P thanks a million | 08:34 |
| Guest18708 | uninstall pulseaudio | 08:34 |
| masterslakk | dustnbone, i use virtualbox... for somereason, i don't think 9.0 vmware is supported in lucid... | 08:34 |
| undecim | AhmedBH: no problem | 08:34 |
| Gamarok___ | hey guys has anyone got nvidia graphic cards with multiple gpu's to work | 08:34 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, sorry I misread. | 08:34 |
| AhmedBH | undecim: Mwa :P | 08:34 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> No Beyecixramd, I'm not getting a solution for this... I tried in ubuntuforums also.. Nobody give me an answer | 08:34 |
| undecim | sabat: SSH isn't good for high-spped transfers. The encryption slows it down to about 3 MB/s or so. | 08:35 |
| masterslakk | dustnbone, it's cool... do y ou know a lot about virtualboxes? | 08:35 |
| sabat | Frankly, I am just happy to have my 2TB drive setup and working now | 08:35 |
| undecim | sabat: FTP would probably have the least overhead of any protocol. | 08:35 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, I prefer VBox as well. I think it's come lightyears recently. \ | 08:35 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: ill try to help you then but im totally clueless, what brand and model is your card? | 08:35 |
| vbl | ok | 08:35 |
| sabat | undecim: ya, I thought so also, but I didn't want to setup a ftp for just this one Xfer, once it's done the old computer is going to be wiped out. | 08:36 |
| caozhao | 这么多人 | 08:36 |
| masterslakk | dustnbone, I would really like to setup a virtual network of ubuntu machines... would you be any help... or point to a guide that would | 08:36 |
| masterslakk | be of monumental help? | 08:36 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: I've been using ubuntu since 6.04 and VBox for about 3 years.... this has got me stumped unfortunately | 08:36 |
| masterslakk | dustnbone, it seems i can't find any of my vboxes inside of a vbox or host, as a matter of fact. | 08:36 |
| Gamarok___ | well? | 08:36 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> i use Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy LS | 08:37 |
| masterslakk | kiasanth, do you know how to setup a network of virtual ubuntu boxes? I just started used vbox few weeks ago... i'm lost completely. | 08:37 |
| domino14 | i have a program taht seg faults on 10.04 on startup, and didnt do so under 09.10 -- what could have changed? | 08:37 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, I use VMs quite alot now, very useful tool but I don't think I'm an expert. Do you want to have this "network" of VMs running all on the same host? That should be a fairly simple matter of assigning them unique IP addresses on a private Class C | 08:37 |
| caozhao | 都 用英语 马 | 08:37 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: have you tried to contact Creative about Linux and drivers? | 08:37 |
| sabat | and another catch is, the pc that I am copying from, also doubles as my network router, so if I setup the crossover cable, I lose internet for my house. | 08:37 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: and your specific issue | 08:37 |
| masterslakk | dustNbone, yes, all on the same host. | 08:38 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: as far as i know, Creative offers high quality, open source drivers for Linux, except the X-fi series | 08:38 |
| masterslakk | dustNbone, i want to be able to ssh with them & such... | 08:38 |
| Gamarok___ | has anyone got nvidia graphic cards with multiple gpu's to work | 08:38 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd>Ok | 08:38 |
| Beyecixramd | Gamarok___: i didn't, but based on my experience, it should work with the official drivers | 08:38 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> Can you tell me the link in which I can download that drivers for Linux | 08:39 |
| masterslakk | dustNbone, if you know how to do this precisely, would you mind if I opened up a private box with you? | 08:39 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, Just use manual network configuration during install and give them each a unique private IP e.g. 192.168.10.1 then 192.168.10.2 and so on. | 08:39 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: Google "creative audio drivers linux" | 08:39 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: yeah, it shouldn't be hard, like dust said, put them all on the same subnet as your host.. | 08:40 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, very simple really. Just manually assigned unique IPs. | 08:40 |
| masterslakk | dustNbone, do I need to set their network adapters to anything special? | 08:40 |
| Gamarok___ | Beyecixramd - alrite well it's just that when ever i install the driver and restart i cant see anything anymore i mean it goes blank | 08:40 |
| Beyecixramd | Gamarok___: excuse me, what was your issue? | 08:41 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd>do you think this is a driver issue. Because I can able to play sound, after sometime only this issue will happened.. | 08:41 |
| Kiasanth | masterslakk: it depends if you want the virtual network to be isolated from your real network | 08:41 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: yeah, maybe some particular wrote drivers for it, which didn't work perfectly | 08:41 |
| dustNbone | masterslakk, just the network configuration needs to be set manually. Unique IPs on the same private subnet like I said above and subnet mask set to 255.255.255.0 | 08:41 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, what makes you think this ? | 08:42 |
| Gamarok___ | my issue is that whenever i install a restricted driver it prompts me to restart and when i do my display turns off | 08:42 |
| masterslakk | dustNbone, unfortunately, I lack to knowledge to make sense of what you're saying... i'm quite a nooby, a complete one. | 08:42 |
| dustNbone | airtonix, I'm not sure what you're asking. I don't think this, I know this. It's basic IP networking. | 08:42 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> My module is CA0106 and from alsa site | 08:42 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, i dont think you've adequately described what you want to do with your many virtualbox guests | 08:43 |
| sabat | for some reason, I just thought of my friend named "france" on irc... his quit message was "I surrender".... always got laughs over that... | 08:43 |
| mehranhu | i need some help with Android TOP BAR modification | 08:43 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, indeed but you dont need to manually set anything to get a virtualbox host to have an ip | 08:43 |
| airtonix | guest* | 08:43 |
| vilhelm | are the drivers for nvidia cards that are in the hardware drivers the same as the ones one can download from nvidia.com? | 08:43 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, I just want to set up a network of about 10 vboxes of xubuntu that can all talk to each other.... | 08:43 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, then just turn them on | 08:44 |
| dustNbone | airtonix, you do if there's no DHCP server involved. Without DHPC, you need to manually configure the network. | 08:44 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, well i have 2 on... | 08:44 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, default network setup for a virtualbox guest is NAT i believe. | 08:44 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, that is true. should it be there? or should I change it to something else? | 08:44 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, virtualbox provides its own dhcp server | 08:44 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> Is it possible to upgrade my ALSA and pulseaudio to new version in 8.04LTS?? | 08:44 |
| dustNbone | airtonix, no it doesn't. | 08:45 |
| phlak_user | !hi | 08:45 |
| ubottu | 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! | 08:45 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: .... you're using 8.04? | 08:45 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, yes it does. | 08:45 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: that's end of life, you know, right? | 08:45 |
| mcl0vin | what is linux input layer? and whats '/dev/input/event#' stand for please ? | 08:45 |
| d7777777 | I think that I've found a terrible bug in the default apache2 conf | 08:46 |
| vbl | <Beyecixramd> ya I now... But 10.04 has lots of issue for me.. 1.0.21 behave very strangly in my system. So rollback. | 08:46 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, my ip address in vboxes is same as ip address of my host box... | 08:46 |
| dustNbone | airtonix, and to what network does it provide DHCP information. It wouldn't be useful for VBox to provide DHCP because it wouldn't know which network to provide service for. | 08:46 |
| Kiasanth | I must agree with dustNbone, host or guest (depending on the configuration) supplies the DHCP | 08:46 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, to its guests? | 08:46 |
| undecim | mcl0vin: Linux input layer is the software that handles input in Linux. All the /dev/input/event# things are input devices that can be handled by that layer. | 08:46 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: the thing is that 8.04 is not supported anymoree..... so having issues is 100% normal | 08:46 |
| Beyecixramd | vbl: what are the issues in Lucid? (10.04) | 08:47 |
| dustNbone | airtonix, I think you misunderstand the function of VBox. It's not within it's mandate to provide a service like DHCP. | 08:47 |
| comsa | 8.10 not supported 8.04 is?? | 08:47 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, Kiasanth your host system does not provide the dhcp service, nor is it any other system outside your host... it is the network subsystem of virtualbox that does this when you use NAT option in the guest setup | 08:47 |
| d7777777 | There is a symlink: /etc/apache2/conf.d/javascript-common.conf that has the following line: Alias /javascript /usr/share/javascript/ | 08:48 |
| mcl0vin | undecim: i have "by-id by-path event0 event1 event2 event3 event4 mice mouse0 mouse1" how do i know which one is my remote control :) | 08:48 |
| undecim | wait, I thought LTS was 3-years on the desktop... 8.04 should still have another year | 08:48 |
| d7777777 | It took me an hour to find it! | 08:48 |
| poland | Hi. Can you please point in the right direction. I am working on Ubuntu 10.04. In my PC there are two NICs: eth1 (192.168.1.10) connected via DSL router to the Internet. When eth0 is configured (10.0.0.10) the Firefox is unable to resolve www addresses. | 08:48 |
| sabat | lmao, ok... this is funny... I just checked my mail, my gigabit switch is here :) | 08:48 |
| airtonix | dustNbone, think you might want to research what the "Attached To" option in a guests network adapter config does. | 08:48 |
| masterslakk | sabat, nice... enjoy it. | 08:48 |
| sabat | sigh... cancel a working transfer... or just let it go... | 08:48 |
| undecim | mcl0vin: None of them, I think. | 08:48 |
| sabat | choices choices. | 08:49 |
| Beyecixramd | undecim: are you sure? i thought it instantly dies after the new LTS was released | 08:49 |
| masterslakk | airtorix... i turned on my vboxes... they have the same ip address as the host... | 08:49 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, did you change the network interface 'attatched to' option to NAT ? | 08:49 |
| abid | Hi all, does anyone know the main reasons why a laptop may hang after boot, is it mainly to do with the graphics card or is there more? | 08:49 |
| undecim | Beyecixramd: I'm pretty sure that it's 3 years. Gives the people who stick with LTS releases a chance to wait for everyone else to find bugs in the next LTS, and gives them flexibility as to what part of the year to switch. | 08:50 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, i think it is already there... but let me check | 08:50 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, on the vboxes or host? | 08:50 |
| Beyecixramd | undecim: makes sense... | 08:50 |
| sabat | abid: usually when I run into that, it has to do with like a memory card reader, or CF card reader, or soemthing like that. | 08:50 |
| abuayyoub | histo, can someone help me please. I have an old windows partition that got messed up when I was resizing the partition to put Ubuntu. The OS is messed up but the partition is still there. Gparted has it listed as /dev/sda3 I tried to mount it but I keep getting this error you must specify the filesystem type" I'm not sure what I have to do to access the files on this partition. | 08:50 |
| sabat | abid: I would seriously suggest you google your distro/laptop and see if it's a known issue. | 08:50 |
| Guest18708 | abuayyoub, haha owned | 08:51 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, in details, the network adapter 1 is set to PCnet-FAST III(NAT) | 08:51 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, is that what it's suppose to be set to? | 08:51 |
| undecim | Beyecixramd: For example, a school that uses Ubuntu might want to make the switch over the summer... It would suck to have a problem between the new release and the end of the school year that you can't get fixed because your LTS isn't supported. | 08:51 |
| sabat | you can guess as to what the problem is, but seriously, google it. I bet your not the first one with the problem | 08:51 |
| abuayyoub | Thats hello not Histo lol | 08:51 |
| abid | sabat: okay i'll try that. | 08:51 |
| abuayyoub | Guest18708, what? | 08:51 |
| Beyecixramd | undecim: true | 08:51 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, no. "Attached TO" | 08:51 |
| Beyecixramd | undecim: so updates do still affect Ubuntu 8.04? | 08:51 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, i just started using vbox two weeks ago... i'm not understanding you... can you be a bit more definitive? where would I see this attached to? | 08:52 |
| Guest18708 | abuayyoub, owned. | 08:52 |
| bazhang | Guest18708, that's enough | 08:52 |
| undecim | Beyecixramd: Yeah. Not every update will necessarily affect it though. Bug fixes, yes, but maybe not new versions of some software. | 08:52 |

| vds | Beyecixramd: you mean vbl I guess | 09:00 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, the vbox looks to be on a class a... | 09:00 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, number you gave for host is not an ip address | 09:00 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, i didn't give whole bcuz of security reasons... | 09:00 |
| Beyecixramd | vds: whoops... vdl: i have no idea... | 09:00 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, its obviously something like 192.168.1.X | 09:01 |
| masterslakk | yes | 09:01 |
| masterslakk | something like that | 09:01 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, which is also behind a NAT of your modem/router... | 09:01 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, which is irrelevant to getting your group of vbox guests running | 09:01 |
| ouyes | when I tried to input # press Shift and 3 but it received £? what is wrong? | 09:01 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, oic. so my router is running NAT as well.. | 09:01 |
| Kiasanth | ouyes: XF86* are keymaps for the "Special" keys on your keyboard, XF86Explorer is for running windows explorer when that key is pressed in windows | 09:02 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, yes but its irrelevant to getting your vbox guests talking to each other | 09:02 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, well what's relevant to getting them to talk to each other? | 09:02 |

| masterslakk | airtonix, both my xubuntu vboxes have the same inet addr:10.0.2.15 | 09:03 |
| poland | phlak_user: eth0 10.0.0.10 is connected to a hub where there are two other PCs connected | 09:03 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, 1) turn them on 2) in each vbox guest either a) run ifconfig to see its lan ip address b) right click on the network notification tray icon and select "connection information" | 09:03 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, ... | 09:03 |
| === vic20gmr is now known as vic20gmr_[lucid] | ||
| phlak_user | poland: so you want to use this PC as a gateway for those two? | 09:04 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, prove it to me. goto pastebin and paste the output of both vbox guests when you run this command : ifconfig | 09:04 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, i've done the ifconfig in both... they both have the same inet addr | 09:04 |
| masterslakk | omfg | 09:04 |
| masterslakk | alright one moment... | 09:04 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, i bet you 10.0.2.15 is the gateway address of your VirtualBoxNat device | 09:04 |
| phlak_user | poland: the loigc is simple-- you need to define the eth1 as the default gateway for the network and enable forwarding | 09:04 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | bak | 09:05 |
| poland | phlak_user: actually yes, I have been able to figure out how to route from 10.0.0.10 to 192.168.1.10 under Windows but have not been so brave and have not attempted under Linux/Ubuntu | 09:05 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, have you also ensured that all your guest configs are having their network setups on NAT ? | 09:05 |

| poland | phlak_user: thank you | 09:08 |
| masterslakk | vilhelm, prob not... it usually searches the net for proprietary drivers for video cards... did for my geforce gt220 | 09:09 |
| phlak_user | abid: did you run the memory test at boot? | 09:09 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, are you there? | 09:09 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | vilhelm: the propriety drivers for 10.04 only supprt r500 gpus and newer | 09:09 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, show me the pastebin | 09:09 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, what's the site for pastebin again? I will show 'em to you | 09:10 |

| dancek | !webmin | yosi1234 | 09:13 |
| ubottu | yosi1234: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 09:13 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | hmm | 09:13 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, ok i found it... i'm in "network connections" right now. | 09:13 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, wired tab > edit the first option | 09:13 |
| masterslakk | ok | 09:14 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | vilhelm: i had better experience with a mchine i was using a while bak, it had a gf6800 or something like that | 09:14 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, make sure you're doing this in the vbox guest and not your host | 09:14 |
| dancek | yosi1234, i've heard horror stories about webmin... dunno about ebox (which ubottu suggests), it's probably better | 09:14 |

| poi77 | Hi! I'm trying to copy dir1 to dir2. How do I do it so that all the files in dir1 end up in dir2, not dir1 itself? | 09:14 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, should i go to ipv4settings? | 09:15 |
| dancek | yosi1234, frankly though i've got several servers that i have no physical access to but have easily been able to use and do some maintenance just over an ssh shell | 09:15 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, correct | 09:15 |
| red2kic | poi77: Use nautilus (GNOME File Manager) | 09:15 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, method is set at "Automatic (DHCP)" | 09:15 |
| poi77 | red2kic: sorry, I'm sshing into this machine | 09:15 |
| masterslakk | airtonix, should I switch this to manual? | 09:15 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | vilhelm: u might try going into appearances in system | preferences, and change visual effects to none | 09:15 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | i bet that will improve performance of web browser | 09:15 |
| vilhelm | vic20gmr_[lucid]: yeah i did that but it did not help | 09:16 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, you might want to right click on the networ icon in the systray and select 'connection information' (you'll need to know the ip address of the vbox gateway) | 09:16 |
| poi77 | I tried cp dir1/ dir2/ but that did not work. I put dir1 in dir2 | 09:16 |

| red2kic | poi77: Play with it to learn more. :o | 09:17 |
| vilhelm | vic20gmr_[lucid]: well 1024 x 768 i belive it is | 09:17 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | hmm | 09:17 |
| phlak_user | poi77: cd into dir1 and then do a cp -r * /path/to/dir2 | 09:17 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: change your keyboard layout | 09:18 |
| vilhelm | vic20gmr_[lucid]: but it's not a big problem anymore because i use opensuse but it would be interesting to figure out why the performance was not so good | 09:18 |
| airtonix | masterslakk, then 10.0.2.2 is the ip address of your vbox virtual router. use that in the gateway section of your manual eth1 setup | 09:18 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | go into system | preferences | synaptic package manager | 09:18 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, where? | 09:18 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: System-Preferences-Keyboard-Layout tab | 09:18 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | then click "reload" to make sure u have latest list, then clik mark all upgrades | 09:18 |
| ouyes | phlak_user, change to what? | 09:18 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | vilhelm: then click "reload" to make sure u have latest list, then clik mark all upgrades | 09:19 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | if u dont hav it runnable, that will b diff at best | 09:19 |
| vic20gmr_[lucid] | vilhelm: if u dont hav it runnable, that will b diff at best | 09:19 |
| phlak_user | ouyes: to whatever you want; I have a US keyboard. There is an option that says "Add"; Click on it and choose. | 09:19 |
| debjit | There no sound from my laptop speaker only from headphones in Ubuntu 10.04 | 09:20 |

| ubottu | ManDay: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports. | 09:37 |

| hmw | mikeru: I can't see the reason here, too. THe log file recommends to check the system log: try tail -n 200 /var/log/syslog and see, if you find anything. | 10:09 |

| ouyes | abid, I have a p7370 and 2gb ram , I think it is powerful enough | 10:10 |
| alket | overmind: thank you, now how to convert ? | 10:10 |
| mikeru | hmw: I'd do so, but it's full of applesmc: wait status failed so I think I'll upload the whole file | 10:10 |
| hmw | mikeru: wait | 10:10 |
| hmw | mikeru: use tail -n 1000 /var/log/syslog | grep -v applesmc (or whatever you DONT want to be included) | 10:11 |
| alket | overmind: thank you, i got it | 10:11 |
| abid | ouyes: then that should be fine, ubuntu takes about 512mb ram and so does xp i think | 10:12 |

| Jordan_U | histo: pitivi is pretty good if you want just a basic editor, cinelerra / blender for professional work. | 10:22 |
| llutz | pat109: it only needs to be root to open ports < 1024 | 10:22 |
| pat109 | @hmw: Dota use Winsock to bind port, so it need privilege | 10:22 |
| histo | Jordan_U: both just appeared buggy and crashed a lot when I was just testing | 10:22 |
| hmw | i never had a problem with wine games and network | 10:22 |
| pat109 | @llutz: why i can play Dota on LAN before update? | 10:23 |
| abid | If you want to install virtualbox, the open source version (OSE) and the closed-source commercial version. both are free, but the commercial version offers more options you should research both before you choose | 10:23 |

| mochacocha | why would firefox still list flash 9 if I removed it from the termina? I'm obviously missing something.hm | 10:24 |
| mikeru | hmw and others: if I blacklist applesmc, which disables sensor info and backlight, will it still set up the appropiate fan speed? (I don't even know if the hardware does when it's getting too hot, Mac OS X seems to manage just about everything the hardware does) | 10:24 |
| mochacocha | terminal** | 10:25 |
| ikonia | mochacocha: how did you remove it ? | 10:25 |
| hmw | mikeru: I never used a Mac, so I can't tell... :( | 10:25 |
| mikeru | hmw: ok :I | 10:25 |
| histo | hmw: yes unfortunately I've played with them all. I'm trying to make a convert out of a windows user but sadly linux is lacking in this area. | 10:25 |
| mochacocha | ikonia, sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree | 10:25 |
| ikonia | mochacocha: that's just a meta package, that won't actually remove it | 10:26 |
| ikonia | mochacocha: if you watch the install, it actually is a set of scripts that pulls flash from adobe.com | 10:26 |
| Astyx | mikeru, why would you like to blacklist applesmc ? | 10:26 |
| mochacocha | oh. but in synaptic I don't see flash 9 as being installed? | 10:26 |
| ikonia | mochacocha: because that meta package has been removed, synaptic/apt only lists packages | 10:27 |
| mochacocha | ah | 10:27 |
| mikeru | Astyx: keeps writing to syslog: wait status failed, #7 ended up blacklisting it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=559799 | 10:27 |
| hmw | histo: Heh, another missionary. *smirks* I only used the preinstalled video editor, and it was just "ok", but I am certainly not a power user when it comes to video editing. You might get lucky and make a windows video app run in wine, perhaps? | 10:27 |
| ikonia | mochacocha: eg: if you did an rm -rf /boot and then look in synaptic it would still show the kernels, even though the actual kernels had been removed | 10:27 |
| mochacocha | ikonia, will take your word on that one... | 10:28 |
| costre | histo, Right? I mean. the guy who made virtualdub should look toward making a linux app next | 10:28 |

| histo | hmw: Yeah I'm checkign wines appdb as we speak. Doesn't appear that his app of choice works. I'm looking at openshot that looks promissing | 10:28 |

| mochacocha | ikonia, what steps would you suggest? the only output I get from locate libflash is '/usr/lib/openoffice/program/libflash680li.so' which I'm going to assume means it didn't locate flash 9 or 10 on my system..but I don't know | 10:31 |

| mikeru | Astyx: installed it from mactel repos... it's supposedly for backlight and that, but it doesn't work anyways because mine's a horrible macbook5.2 which hates linux and does bizarre things to keep it away, from not booting if acpi isn't off and forcing you to use grub-efi, to actually initiating bogus firmware updates when booting it (sometimes) | 10:33 |

| mikeru | power, and mac os x booted perfectly | 10:38 |

| OttifantSir | Does the alternate installer of 10.04 have the possibility to make LVM-groups? Got an old machine with two drives, and I wish to use most of one, and all of the other for /home | 10:57 |
| === Guest14070 is now known as cmug | ||
| === xyz is now known as hellyeah | ||
| Jordan_U | Titan_: It's almost instant, but you need to provide a filename (or else it will assume that the script contents are coming from stdin, the keyboard). "sudo grub-script-check /boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 10:59 |
| Titan_ | ohh ok thanx | 10:59 |
| rpattabi | @OttifantSir I could install ubuntu on lvm using 'alternate' CD. But it doesn't have prebuilt lvm gui. | 10:59 |
| Jordan_U | Titan_: You're welcome. | 10:59 |
| prodigel | Hi all. I have a broken 2GB RAM dim that I just bought for my laptop and I would like to install badram or badmem or another patch to remove the damaged areas from usage. Any idea how could I do this on ubuntu 10.4? I've seen some patches for older kernel versions, that I cannot install on 10.4. | 11:00 |
| asprofridis | Hi , I am trying to installa grub via live cd ( root hd(1,0) setup (hd1) end I get Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition here is the fdsik -l http://pastebin.com/WUfjYdyU | 11:00 |
| mindburst | hi all, anyone know if there is a mythbuntu or is this the place for help if i get any | 11:00 |
| OttifantSir | rpattabi: What do you mean by that? That the partitioner doesn't have the option of creating an LVM-group? I have to make it first, THEN install with the alternate installer? | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | !grub2 | asprofridis | 11:01 |
| ubottu | asprofridis: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 11:01 |
| Titan_ | Jordan_U: i keep getting syntax error; incorrect command | 11:01 |
| OttifantSir | mindburst: It's #ubuntu-mythtv | 11:01 |
| Jordan_U | Titan_: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg and /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ again? | 11:02 |
| mindburst | thanks for the help guys | 11:02 |
| rpattabi | @OttifantSir I already had the lvm partitions done using different ubuntu installation. the partitioner does understand lvm; but not sure if you can create lvms while installation. I haven't tried it that way. | 11:02 |
| Jordan_U | prodigel: You can use badram from grub2, which passes the information on to the kernel. The syntax for specifying bad blocks is exactly the same as with the linux kernel parameter. | 11:03 |
| ouyes | how can get hardware decoding support when playing a video in smplayer? | 11:03 |
| === snooze_ is now known as Toshi | ||
| ouyes | I have a ati rad VGA | 11:04 |
| OttifantSir | rpattabi: I asked because I thought I recalled a guide online that said you could if you didn't just "go with the flow" of the alternate installer for an older version of Ubuntu. If you cancelled or made a choice, you could make an LVM-group upon installation, | 11:04 |
| prodigel | Jordan_U, I saw that. But is badram included in the current kernel releases by default, or I need to patch/compile it? | 11:04 |
| MACscr_lappy | is there any type of plugin that would add a symlink option to the right click menu in the file managers? | 11:05 |
| Jordan_U | prodigel: I don't think that grub2's badram depends on any kernel patches. | 11:05 |
| asprofridis | Jordan_U when I tried grub 2 i get GRUB failed to install to the following devices: /dev/sdb | 11:05 |
| Titan_ | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/97ZyinsP http://pastebin.com/wN8NtNj7 | 11:06 |

| Jordan_U | buenol: Yes, http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Run-Android-Applications-on-Ubuntu-115152.shtml | 11:20 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: you need to hide the * from the shell. like "for vid in *; do ffmpeg2theora someoptions $vid;done" | 11:20 |
| Titan_ | thank u Jordan_U and llutz my problem is fixed | 11:21 |
| Jordan_U | Titan_: You're welcome. | 11:21 |
| buenol | Jordan_U, thanks | 11:22 |

| llutz | OttifantSir: so you're missing some parts, command is incomplete | 11:23 |
| Euthanatos | why is bluetooth hijacking my audio cards when i have no bluetooth? | 11:23 |
| OttifantSir | llutz: I had this: for file in "$1"/*; do ffmpeg2theora -v 10 -a 10 "$file" | 11:24 |
| unop | OttifantSir, you're missing a ; done at the end | 11:24 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: at least ";done" is missing and if you just run this, it won't find $1 | 11:24 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: that has to be a script called with a path | 11:25 |
| llutz | OttifantSir or change it like this: for file in mypath/*; do ffmpeg2theora -v 10 -a 10 "$file";done | 11:26 |
| Titan_ | quick question would windows be menu entry 4 or 5 http://pastebin.com/qFQM3fPL | 11:26 |
| Euthanatos | what is EOL? | 11:27 |
| OttifantSir | unop and llutz: Thanks. So, I should do that with ~/folder-to-be-converted? Or if I issue the command within the folder, I should take out ..... the / ? | 11:27 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: where "mypath/" is the path to your videos | 11:27 |
| red2kic | Euthanatos: End of Life. :( | 11:27 |
| llutz | Euthanatos: end of line | 11:27 |
| Euthanatos | ugh....that's the only one i ever got to work without problem | 11:28 |
| unop | OttifantSir, you can do this. cd ~/folder-to-be-converted; for file in *; do ffmpeg2theora -v 10 -a 10 "$file"; done | 11:28 |
| unop | OttifantSir, so yea, you change the glob to remove the directory part when you are in the directory dir/* becomes * | 11:28 |
| OttifantSir | unop and llutz: Thanks for the help. At least now it started with the first file in the folder. Will be a while before I see if the rest works, but looks promising. But why wouldn't a simple ffmpeg2theora * convert them all? | 11:30 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: that app needs a single filename to work with | 11:31 |
| llutz | OttifantSir: not a list of files as * gives (check with "echo *") | 11:32 |
| red2kic | I see! So that command can only have one parameter! Not multiple parameters! Clever! :3 | 11:32 |
| Titan_ | http://pastebin.com/qFQM3fPL | 11:33 |
| Titan_ | would windows be menuentry 3 or 4 | 11:33 |
| unop | OttifantSir, depends on the application -- "ffmpeg2theora *" is expanded by the shell to a command such as " ffmpeg2theora file1 file2 file3 file4..." before being passed to ffmpeg2theora - and it sees each of these potential arguments - in this case, too many | 11:33 |

| OttifantSir | llutz: OK, thanks for the clarification. I read the man-page, but it didn't say anything I understood as having to issue only one file. The "cat something.dv | ffmpeg2theora [option] dv" could possibly be taken as meaning "Issue one filename only to ffmpeg2theora" | 11:34 |

| OttifantSir | tdn: I usually don't compile programs, but this is something that should be described how to do in README or similar-named file. For VLC I believe it's something like configure enable --option. You really need to supply the name of the program you're trying to compile for more help, and this is the extent of my knowledge: It needs to be enbled for the program you're compiling, not just running on your system | 11:42 |

| prodigel | Jordan_U, I don't remember exactly if you suggested grub2 for badram or not, I figured that if you are that person, maybe you know what addr1,mask1[addr2,mask2] exactly means. Also I don't know where in the booting commands list to insert my badram command. Thanks | 12:07 |
| ip3t3r | red2kic, it's refers to 2.6.31.* kernel | 12:07 |

| llutz | ionut: sudo dhclient ethX | 12:08 |
| ionut | llutz: will release a new ip? | 12:09 |
| red2kic | ip3t3r: It does not matter. The bug is still open. Install linux-backports-modules-wireless-generic and reboot. Come back and report your progress. | 12:09 |
| llutz | ionut: it will do a new dhcp-request | 12:10 |
| jarrod_007 | My 10.4 installation does not wake up from sleep or hibernation. I am using a microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. do I need to install any special drivers? | 12:10 |

| costre | jarrod_007, bluetooth? | 12:11 |
| red2kic | ionut: Oh okay. Just wanted to make sure you're not trying to get a different IP from ISP. | 12:11 |

| leagris | ionut, dhclient normally will issue a DHCP RELEASE uppon interface shutdown but, that won't ensure the DHCP server will issue a different IP. If you are behind your cable/dsl cable modem router, chances are you will keep the same IP. If you really need a new LAN IP and have some admin rights on the router, you should look into either choosing a static LAN IP from a non-dhcp range, or configuring a static lease on the router based on your host | 12:12 |
| leagris | MAC address. | 12:12 |

| raddy | Hello everybody | 12:13 |
| costre | jarrod_007, I have a wireless keyboard+mouse on usb, it works even during bootup :) | 12:13 |
| costre | also not bluetooth | 12:13 |
| ionut | leagris: you are right. i just wanted to try it. my ip is the same (after a new release) because my provider gives my all the time the same ip | 12:14 |
| Jordan_U | prodigel: You can get the error patterns from memtest86+ by pressing 'c' for configuration then '4' for error report mode, then '3' for "BadRAM Patterns" | 12:14 |
| raddy | I have left my home partition intact while upgradiing to 10.04 from 9.04 | 12:14 |
| jarrod_007 | costre, yea I am not having any problems with the keyboard+mouse per se. I just cannot wake the computer up after I put it to sleep or hibernate. I just assumed it was related to the keyboard/mouse | 12:14 |
| raddy | Now whenever i login to my user, the window manager is not loading. | 12:14 |
| ionut | guys i know that is a stupid questions. but which is the purpose of the gateway number ? | 12:15 |
| Jimmio1 | What's the default PDF reader installed in Ubuntu by default? I want to see if there's a Windows port, as it's much faster than Adobe's Acrobat. | 12:15 |

| iceroot | Jimmio1: evince imo | 12:15 |
| raddy | Everytime i am manually going to Desktop Effects and enabling it. | 12:15 |
| red2kic | gizero: You might get lucky with some GIMP hacks. Look for the particular packages that you installed. dpkg -L $PACKAGE -- Find out where those images sit in. GIMP and change the background to transparency/alpha. | 12:15 |

| raddy | Can anybody tell me what could be the reason? | 12:15 |
| prodigel | Jordan_U, Thanks! I'll check it out. | 12:15 |
| llutz | ionut: its the ip-address of your gateway, most likely your router (gateway between local-net and WAN) | 12:16 |
| raddy | It happens only for that particular user. | 12:16 |
| Jordan_U | prodigel: You're welcome. | 12:16 |
| costre | jarrod_007, Try to connect some old ps2keyboard and see what happens | 12:16 |
| raddy | Please help me. | 12:16 |
| red2kic | Jimmio1: evince (name of PDF reader) | 12:16 |
| ionut | llutz: so is like a "bridge" between the intranet and internet? | 12:16 |
| llutz | ionut: sort of | 12:17 |
| gizero | red2kic, ok, thank you | 12:17 |
| ionut | llutz: is wrong or is ... ok? | 12:17 |
| pallgone | raddy: reinstall compiz? | 12:17 |
| ionut | llutz: i want to study a bit this things, on here | 12:17 |
| llutz | ionut: a network "bridge" is something different. a gateway connects two different networks | 12:18 |
| Jimmio1 | Thanks all! Finally, fast PDF reading on Windows! ^^ | 12:18 |
| jarrod_007 | costre, yea I'll try that latter then come back if it still a problem. Thanks. | 12:18 |
| costre | jarrod_007, I always have a ps2 keyboard connected, just in case | 12:18 |
| ionut | llutz: exacly. thanks, now i know what is a gateway and also a bridge | 12:19 |

| === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 | ||
| t4m1n0_ | argh... how can I fix this? | 12:19 |
| leagris | ionut, just an advice. If your Ubuntu host is connected just behind your provider's modem to a bridged WAN IP address, you really should enable some minimum firewalling as some network services listening to 0.0.0.0 (all address) could be vulnerable and directly joinable from the wide internet. | 12:21 |
| BlessJah | i'm going to install ubuntu on 15 identical computers, whats the best way to do it, install and configure on one and then use dd image distributed over http? | 12:21 |
| BlessJah | will dd if=image.dd of=/dev/sda3 work properly (i will change UUID to devfile in fstab) | 12:22 |
| llutz | BlessJah: to speedup dd a bit, use bs=4k, but basically it should work | 12:23 |
| ionut | leagris: how can i see if i now have a firewall?? | 12:23 |
| enzotib | BlessJah, dd will copy also UUID, so you don't need to change fstab | 12:23 |

| hmw | mikeru: well... if you dare, try rebooting 2 or 3 more times to be sure | 12:24 |

| YezYez | ok | 12:29 |
| YezYez | epinky: but doesn't xinetd normaly start when I boot a machine? | 12:30 |
| epinky | YezYez: it depends on your config, normally it does | 12:30 |
| hmw | if youre planning on a standard install without RAID (lvm), you should be fine with grub2. There are other issues, boot from the live CDand see, if you are happy | 12:30 |
| YezYez | ok tty, epinky | 12:30 |
| leagris | ionut, good default input policies is accept needed TCP/UDP ports from WAN IPs then drop anything else except syn related packets. | 12:30 |
| epinky | YezYez: np | 12:30 |

| red2kic | !fsck | friend4ubuntu | 12:40 |
| ubottu | friend4ubuntu: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 12:40 |
| red2kic | ubuntunewbie: Are you just wanting to test out Lucid? Use VirtualBox instead if you want that. | 12:41 |
| mkhanyisi | friend4ubuntu, you can do a "sudo touch /forcefsck" and then reboot normally | 12:41 |
| red2kic | t4m1n0_: Yeah, bad. It affects 83 linux lovers. :) | 12:42 |
| ubuntunewbie | red2kic : I wanted it as main os , been using 8.04 ,way better than window 7 since I am using a low pc spec. works great. Virtualbox , I tested and install it before but I can run smooth , it lag since having only 2.0Ghz processor | 12:43 |
| friend4ubuntu | friend4ubuntu, you can do a "sudo touch /forcefsck" and then reboot normally what does this command do? | 12:43 |

| red2kic | ubuntunewbie: Mmm. I only have one -- Lucid -- on my laptop. Things works well for me. However, I experienced a minor issue with grub2 installing to my usb installer instead of the hard drive. Nothing a LiveCD can't fix. | 12:45 |

| red2kic | LSD|Ninja: ubuntu-minimal + ubuntu-desktop both are metapackages and can be removed safely. However, I'd leave ubuntu-minimal alone myself. It contains core packages that are important to ubuntu. | 12:46 |

| === dad is now known as rileyp | ||

| hp00p | i guess thats the only way :( | 12:57 |
| mkhanyisi | DDAZZA, you can add 'metacity --replace' which is an equivalent of 'normal' imho | 12:57 |
| ftumch | Well... Rendered it unbootable - the machine freezes completely before X starts | 12:57 |
| friend4ubuntu | if u can access internet download cd and burn it | 12:57 |

| Gornjak | Hey, I've just installed propriety ati drivers so that I can play WoW and now switching between windows has a dealy of 1s or so. If I turn compiz / metacity off the lag goes away. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or how to make AWN icons transparent without compiz? | 12:58 |

| Tesssa | yw hope it works for you hp00p i know its a bummer doing it that way but if it works | 12:58 |
| red2kic | t4m1n0_: You need to test all workarounds to find out which one get you your X back. | 12:59 |

| ash_ | Hello, how I can downgrade packages in ubuntu? I have php5 vers 5.3.2 but I need 5.2. Installed ubuntu is lucid 10.04 LTS. How I can do it? | 13:02 |
| Yez|Yez | no, i use the mount command on the webserver to mount the shared drive from my fileserver | 13:02 |
| Yez|Yez | its a samba fileserver with authentication | 13:03 |
| red2kic | !pin | ash_ | 13:03 |
| ubottu | ash_: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Yez|Yez: you can add samba mounts in /etc/fstab | 13:03 |
| red2kic | ash_: I think you can do it with synaptic (GUI is easier). | 13:03 |
| Yez|Yez | ActionParsnip: will that be safe, afterall, the webserver is live on the internet | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Yez|Yez: you can create a credentials file to store the password etc and tell fstab to use it | 13:03 |
| Yez|Yez | I see | 13:03 |
| t4m1n0_ | red2kic: I get message: job is already running gdm | 13:03 |

| Yez|Yez | ActionParsnip: the credential file will make it safe? | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Yez|Yez: sure, the public data is seperate to the fstab stuff | 13:04 |
| bazhang | rileyp, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu support | 13:04 |
| red2kic | t4m1n0_: Try CTRL + ALT + F7 -- See if anything are there. | 13:04 |
| t4m1n0_ | red2kic: the only problem when I ctl+alt+f7 is that the screen is blank | 13:04 |
| rileyp | wel it does as i run ubuntu on my mac | 13:04 |
| Yez|Yez | ok ActionParsnip, i will make use of fstab and the credential file | 13:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Yez|Yez: it makes mounting easier and it is necessary as you have security on the access | 13:04 |
| ash_ | red2kic: GUI not easier, becouse it's server without GUI | 13:04 |
| t4m1n0_ | red2kic: nothing there | 13:04 |
| Yez|Yez | Ok ActionParsnip | 13:04 |
| bazhang | rileyp, itunes is not canonical created or sponsored, check apple support | 13:04 |

| red2kic | t4m1n0_: Pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 13:09 |
| ActionParsnip | malegria: try: sudo Xorg -configure then you will have an xorg.conf file which you can specify options in, it will use the intel driver for video, you can also set resolutions and refresh rates | 13:10 |
| t4m1n0_ | red2kic: http://pastebin.com/A6rg28Mh | 13:10 |
| red2kic | t4m1n0_: If nothing occurs, maybe you will luck out with ActionParsnip's commands | 13:10 |
| malegria | ActionParsnip, thanks, but the thing is I don't know how to customise xorg.conf :( | 13:11 |
| ActionParsnip | malegria: then use the web, there are guides and sample files all over | 13:12 |

| ZykoticK9 | t4m1n0_, are you frojnd in the forums? | 13:27 |
| t4m1n0_ | ZykoticK9: yes | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !ot | hp00p | 13:28 |
| ubottu | hp00p: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 13:28 |
| chilli0 | ActionParsnip, I just said , I will just use the network upgrade. | 13:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | t4m1n0_, just checkin' - saw your post | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: ok cool | 13:28 |
| hp00p | ActionParsnip: sry bud. | 13:28 |
| chilli0 | So how shall I go about doing this? | 13:28 |
| t4m1n0_ | ZykoticK9: I made a mistake: wgen I mentioned monitor I meant TTY :P | 13:28 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade | 13:29 |
| chilli0 | Thanks ActionParsnip | 13:29 |
| Euthanatos | I have a program im trying to run and it can't find a library that by all accounts I have. http://pastebin.com/QB1HGH98 | 13:30 |
| Euthanatos | i checked synaptic as well and had it reinstall and grab dev | 13:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | Euthanatos, are you using a 64bit Ubuntu? | 13:30 |
| Euthanatos | yes | 13:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | is there an alternative to libkadm55 as it is not available for lucid? | 13:30 |
| Euthanatos | lucid | 13:30 |
| chilli0 | ActionParsnip, So , with the alternt cd whats the diffrence? | 13:30 |
| deuxenun1 | http://pastebin.com/QB1HGH98http://pastebin.com/QB1HGH98http://pastebin.com/QB1HGH98http://pastebin.com/QB1HGH98 | 13:31 |
| chilli0 | Can It only do upgrades from 9.10 to 10.04 or can it do full installs? | 13:31 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: well you'd use the debs on the CD instead of off the lucid repos, if you used the alternate cd you would most likely still have to web update to get the latest debs | 13:31 |
| chilli0 | Ah I see. | 13:31 |
| ZykoticK9 | Euthanatos, you "might" need the 32bit version of that library then (check out the program "getlibs" to install 32bit libraries on your 64bit system). Good luck. | 13:32 |
| ActionParsnip | chilli0: you can use the alternate to get the next release, you can go from 9.10 to 10.04 or 8.04 to 10.04 (LTS to LTS) | 13:32 |
| Euthanatos | thank you i'll try that | 13:32 |
| oCean_ | Euthanatos: a quick search for that lib at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ did not return any packages containing such library | 13:32 |
| hp00p | hey do you guys know if upgrading through the update manager will restore grub ? | 13:32 |
| Euthanatos | oCean_, synaptic says i have it | 13:33 |
| oCean_ | Euthanatos: you do? that file? from what package. | 13:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | Euthanatos, do you have "ia32-libs" installed? this gives "general" 32bit libraries, it might be as easy as installing it. | 13:34 |
| oCean_ | Euthanatos: wait - found it | 13:34 |
| Lunar_Lamp | I've just upgraded my graphics card - when I run `sudo nvidia-xconfig` however it doesn't change the graphics card specified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. How do I create a new, appropriate, xorg.conf without editing by hand? | 13:34 |
| invzim | Help, upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, now X won't login. At KDM, when I type user/pass screen blinks and returns to KDM. X log tells me driver problem, savage driver, some problem with framemapping range. Tried changing to vesa failsafe, or any other driver, and then KDM doesnt start, X just hangs forever. Any fix anyone? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | hp00p: it wont remove it, it will just add the lucid kernel to the list | 13:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | Lunar_Lamp, you could try the non-nvidia directions at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file | 13:35 |
| hp00p | the problem is I had two ubuntus on my HD and I deleted one and it was the one with the boot loader so when I restart It wont find any OS's | 13:36 |
| hp00p | so Im trying to put a new grub on | 13:36 |
| hp00p | or lilo | 13:36 |
| ActionParsnip | hp00p: you can boot to the livecd and reinstall grub | 13:36 |
| ZykoticK9 | hp00p, are you using Lucid or a previous version? see !grub or !grub2 factoids to reinstall grub | 13:36 |
| hp00p | I guess I will have to.. Im on vacation with no disks.. gonna have to go to walmart for cds and download ubuntu again... | 13:36 |

| madjoe | Why my Remote Desktop doesn't work? I can't connect to see my friends desktop and he can't see mine... we used our IP addresses to connect. | 13:40 |
| madjoe | He uses Lucid, I'm using Karmic. | 13:40 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest30166 | ||
| Guest30166 | audient | 13:40 |
| |ns|nR8 | did you set port forward in router madjoe ? | 13:40 |
| Guest30166 | guest | 13:40 |
| Guest30166 | exit | 13:40 |
| madjoe | |ns|nR8: no... is there any link that would guide me what kind of port forwarding should I enable? | 13:41 |
| |ns|nR8 | you basically have to login to the web interface of your router..look for port forwarding section...forward the remote desktop port to your computers LAN ip on same port | 13:41 |
| |ns|nR8 | google port forwarding | 13:42 |
| Euthanatos | ZykoticK9, yes | 13:42 |
| specnaz | hello could some1 explain me how its work: http://bit.ly/c0MBZk I mean how it is possible that user from wan/lan can directly connect to a virtual instance ? | 13:42 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: or use automatic forwarding with upnp if your router supports it | 13:42 |
| lxsys | also make sure that the IP of the pc stays the same as otherwise the router will forward to a nonexistant/wrong computer | 13:42 |
| Jacruth | hi | 13:43 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: check "configure network automatically" in remote desktop preferences | 13:43 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: thanks, but I prefer manual configuring my ports :) | 13:43 |
| Jacruth | I heard that there is a way to stop the reading of the hard disk when no data is changed or even reduce de speed of reading the hard disk. Am I true? | 13:44 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: either way should work :) | 13:44 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: ok :) | 13:44 |
| cba123 | I installed Tracker on Lucid, and I can't seem to get it started. Even when I enable indexing, it doesn't start at all. Any ideas? | 13:44 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: what's the default port number for Remote Desktop in Ubuntu? | 13:44 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: might want to set up a single forward for ssh, then use that to tunnel traffic on other ports | 13:44 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: 5900, the vnc default | 13:45 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: thanks | 13:45 |
| MikeChelen | madjoe: it might change if there are more than 1 user logged in, try "nmap localhost" to check once its running | 13:46 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: sweet | 13:46 |
| === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather | ||
| Euthanatos | ZykoticK9, works now thank you very much | 13:47 |
| madjoe | MikeChelen: and so, me and my friend have both to set this port forwarding, right? | 13:47 |
| livingdaylight | hello good people of Ubuntu Land! | 13:48 |
| falafell | how do i install games and apps on different then default location? (say other partition or so) | 13:48 |

| metric1983 | does anyone here have any experiance with problems with radeon graphics cards? | 13:50 |
| elfranne | what have i done wrong ? (fing jpg more than 1KB ) find /media/usb-hdd/ -size +1k -type f -name jpg | 13:50 |

| johndee | Hey! Anyone knows how to slow down a cdrom? | 13:51 |
| johndee | Except for eject, setcd and hdparm? | 13:51 |
| cba123 | metric1983, First, ask your question. Second https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft | 13:51 |
| goran | elfranne, maybe jpg should be quoted | 13:51 |
| elfranne | i ll try | 13:51 |
| Lunar_Lamp | ZykoticK9: thanks for the tip - that worked perfectly. | 13:52 |
| elfranne | goran : nope ... | 13:52 |
| tyranos | metric1983,maybe u need to see if there are proprietary drivers for your card the opensource drivers work great for compiz but not so good at gaming | 13:52 |
| cccc | ser | 13:52 |

| metric1983 | cba - THanks, I`ve followed that to the letter and I have wow downloaded, installed and it works, however being a windows boy i recognise the problems with the game as graphics card not working, is there a way to test if my graphics card is working do you think? | 13:53 |

| cccc | gtgtg | 13:53 |
| cccc | gghh | 13:54 |
| metric1983 | tyranos, do you know of a way to test my graphics card to see if it is working, it might just not be good enough for latest wow though i know it has worked perfectly for burning crusade | 13:54 |
| Jacruth | I heard that there is a way to stop the using of the hard disk when no data is writed or even to reducting the speed of reading the hard disk. Am I true? | 13:54 |
| elfranne | goran : working :) thx | 13:54 |
| Tenkawa | Any UL80VT owners here (or anyone using an elantech touchpad) | 13:54 |
| tooManyNicks | I pretty much wiped out all three of my OSes today... Windows gives me a boot error, I wiped the Arch USB, and GRUB isn't working so Ubuntu is out. | 13:54 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: why? | 13:55 |
| Tenkawa | why does that put uubuntu out? | 13:55 |
| invzim | Help, upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, now X won't login. At KDM, when I type user/pass screen blinks and returns to KDM. X log tells me driver problem, savage driver, some problem with framemapping range. Tried changing to vesa failsafe, or any other driver, and then KDM doesnt start, X just hangs forever. Any fix anyone? | 13:55 |
| falafell | how do i change the location where ubuntu installs games and applications? (eg other disk) | 13:55 |
| tooManyNicks | Ubuntu is on ext4, so my only live cd, which is a Ubuntu 8.10 doesn't support ext4, so I can't access it. I'm trying to create a 10.04 live USB now, but the software on this disk doesn't seem to work. | 13:56 |
| Tenkawa | ahhh | 13:56 |
| tyranos | metric1983, u can try and install alien-arena , nexuiz, or one of the other egoshooter opensource games and see how that goes, u can download them from the ubuntu software center | 13:56 |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: Because I can't boot into Ubuntu except through GRUB. | 13:56 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: yeah.. ext4 is "interesting" | 13:56 |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: my true problem lies in the fact that all USB creators which support 10.04 that I've found are Windows based. Ironic isn't it? | 13:57 |
| metric1983 | tyranos - thanks | 13:57 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: too new distro.. might take a few moe days | 13:57 |
| tooManyNicks | Which is of course, my question for the chan, where can I find a Ubuntu based USB Creator compatible with 10.04? | 13:57 |
| Juniksz | Could someone tell me, my father's computer, why can not the video acceleration? Results of the glxgears command: Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.

| Tenkawa | unetbootin not updated yet? | 13:58 |
| feravoon | hello everyone | 13:58 |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: but it came out late April, A few more day sin may won't help much... And I'm pretty sure the unetbootin is compatible, it's just is XP based. | 13:58 |
| Tenkawa | Juniksz: updated your driver? | 13:58 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: umm... | 13:59 |
| Tenkawa | unetbootin is a ubuntu package | 13:59 |
| tooManyNicks | Right yeah, but their Ubuntu package wouldn't run. | 13:59 |
| Juniksz | Tenkawa: how do you mean? | 13:59 |
| Tenkawa | apt-cache show unetbootin | 13:59 |
| tooManyNicks | I remember now... | 13:59 |
| Tenkawa | Juniksz: you got the nvidia package from nvidia for your card? | 13:59 |
| falafell | how do i change the location where ubuntu installs games and applications? (eg other disk) | 14:00 |
| Juniksz | in the hardware drives only | 14:00 |
| Juniksz | Tenkawa: in the hardware drives only | 14:00 |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: unable to locate package unetbootin, so I dled it from unetbootin.sourceforge.net | 14:00 |
| Tenkawa | elaborate please | 14:00 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: hmm.. your sources must not include (checking) | 14:00 |
| cobra-the-joker | hey guys ... how can i update the whole system from the terminal | 14:00 |
| Tenkawa | hmm its in universe | 14:00 |
| exs | does someone know how to use artwiz fonts under ubuntu 10.4 | 14:01 |
| Tenkawa | Package: unetbootin | 14:01 |
| Tenkawa | Priority: optional | 14:01 |
| Tenkawa | Section: universe/utils | 14:01 |

| === andrzej is now known as AgBorkowski | ||
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: ahhhhh | 14:01 |
| feravoon | My internet is so slow in Ubuntu. When i use windows its very fast, but in ubuntu its very slow. Sometimes i can barely open google. Can someone help me? (I use a shared network) | 14:01 |
| tooManyNicks | oh shoot, it's probably 9.10 isn't it? | 14:01 |
| tooManyNicks | joy... | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | cobra-the-joker: I know a way.... just not the ubuntu way | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: checking | 14:02 |
| Juniksz | Tenkawa: how can I update, the Driver? Is there any command? | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | Juniksz: you need to get it from nvidia's site | 14:02 |
| kamane | can anyone tell me how to remove multiple apps at once in ubuntu software centre? | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | and read their install readmw | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | er readme | 14:02 |
| Juniksz | ok thanks, iwill search it | 14:02 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: yeah.. looks like it might not have been there that early | 14:03 |
| Tenkawa | at least not the current package | 14:03 |
| mickqel | ; do | 14:03 |
| Tenkawa | you check the sourceforge site and compile it manually> | 14:03 |
| Tenkawa | er ? | 14:03 |
| * Tenkawa notes having a notebook with 2 video cards would be a lot nicer if he could actually switch between them properly (rather at all) | 14:04 | |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: Didn't and don't know how... | 14:05 |
| Tenkawa | tooManyNicks: ahh | 14:05 |
| tooManyNicks | The only source I've compiled is my own. | 14:05 |
| falafell | how do i change the installation path when installing games or applications? | 14:05 |
| Juniksz | Tenkawa: mustbe remove the old driver before i install the new one, | 14:05 |
| Tenkawa | there might be a standalone deb on sourceforge's site | 14:05 |
| tooManyNicks | Tenkawa: the only version I see has no extension. | 14:06 |
| azi | hm... another thing.. after update to 10.04 flash isn't working anymore. is there any way to fix it? | 14:07 |
| Tenkawa | azi: heheh there is although I never bothered | 14:07 |
| feravoon | My internet is so slow in Ubuntu. When i use windows its very fast, but in ubuntu its very slow. Sometimes i can barely open google. Can someone help me? (I use a shared network) | 14:07 |
| DASPRiD | Tenkawa, i think i've seen some software doing that | 14:07 |
| kamane | can anyone tell me how to remove multiple apps at once? | 14:08 |
| Tenkawa | DASPRiD: theres a modified nvidia g210 driver floating around to disable the card but kinda annoying theres not an "official" method yet | 14:08 |
| unop | kamane, sudo aptitude remove package1 package2 package3 .... | 14:08 |
| Tenkawa | oh well.. 5 hour battery life instead of 8-10 | 14:08 |
| OttifantSir | kamane: Synaptic, mark them with Ctrl, then click the checkbox and select Remove or Remove Completely | 14:09 |
| Tenkawa | although I get a lot better video perf | 14:09 |
| kamane | unop: i mean from the software centre, like it used to be? | 14:09 |
| kamane | there was checkboxes in 8.04 :S | 14:09 |
| falafell | use synaptic package manager instead, you can use checkboxes | 14:10 |
| kamane | thats so fail >:( | 14:10 |
| kamane | whats the point in software centre if i have to use synaptic?! | 14:10 |
| icser | i am trying to set up internet connectino sharing on karmic via wifi. i have a wired link and want to have wifi hosts use it too. i read some instructions online, but as far as i get is my host keeps toggling saying connected/disconnect, but the client can't see the wifi signal at all | 14:10 |
| Daekdroom | kamane, make it very easier to people that don't know how to handle packages | 14:11 |
| MikeChelen | kamane: multiple installs or uninstalls can be queued up in the software center | 14:11 |
| kamane | Daekdroom: yeah but the checkbox thing worked, why take it away? | 14:11 |
| kamane | MikeChelen: yeah but it glitches all over the place | 14:11 |
| kamane | the list jumps around when i do that | 14:11 |
| exs | does someone know how to use artwiz fonts under ubuntu 10.4 | 14:11 |
| ouyes | hi all , how to copy a file to my virtual system? | 14:11 |
| falafell | how do i change the location where ubuntu installs games and applications? (eg other disk) | 14:12 |
| Tenkawa | ouyes: which vm software? | 14:12 |
| MikeChelen | kamane: check your screen settings? | 14:12 |
| Tenkawa | falafell: with precompiled packages cant say I ever have tried | 14:12 |
| untmdsprt | is there a way to boot from an external drive on a Mac, or should I put Ubuntu on the internal drive and Mac on the external? | 14:12 |
| MikeChelen | falafell: edit .fstab and point it to other partitions | 14:12 |
| kamane | MikeChelen: i mean it hammers my system, and software centre cant keep up. had this problem on a c2duo last week | 14:12 |
| ouyes | I installed virtualbox and created a virtual machine and installed xp on it, but now I am want to copy a file to xp (from ubuntu) | 14:13 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: you can boot from external drives, if not out of the box, then at least with rEFIt | 14:13 |
| ouyes | what should I do? | 14:13 |
| MikeChelen | untmdsprt: iirc old macs can boot external fireware, newer ones should support usb as well | 14:13 |
| ouyes | Tenkawa, office for example | 14:13 |
| Tenkawa | ouyes: i think if you have the guest tools installed you can use those to copy files directly to the vm.. (although dont quote me) | 14:13 |
| untmdsprt | hmm, I've tried that, and rERIt gave me an error msg | 14:13 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: I have both OS X and Ubuntu on my Mac's internal drive, that works also well | 14:13 |
| linxeh | ouyes: you can enable local filesystem access in virtualbox as a network share (in XP you go to \\VBoxSvr\sharename) or something | 14:13 |
| BluntObject | ouyes: You can use shared folders with VirtualBox | 14:13 |
| feravoon | i have RT37USB wireless card. it seems to be working properly in windows. But in ubuntu internet is very slow. i disabled ipv6 but nothing changed. please help me | 14:13 |
| Tenkawa | or what linxeh and BluntObject said | 14:14 |
| klawd | guys.. i just upgraded ubuntu an now my phpmodules won't load anymore. can i get back to the previous configuration somehow? | 14:14 |
| KnightStalker | How could I activate public_html for my users? | 14:14 |
| untmdsprt | schlafter - I've done that now, but I'd actually like to give more space to Ubuntu now | 14:14 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: what error? | 14:14 |
| linxeh | KnightStalker: edit the apache config to use mod_userdir and the relavant other settings | 14:14 |
| klawd | PHP Warning: PHP Startup: pdo_mysql: Unable to initialize module\nModule compiled with build ID=API20090626,TS\nPHP compiled with build ID=API20090626,NTS\nThese options need to match | 14:14 |
| MikeChelen | kamane: that is unusual, file a bug report and use synaptic meanwhile (there are some other optional package managers too) | 14:15 |
| sioux_ | i have two files txt(one have 900 lines and other have 4500 lines), i need compare and marge only equal results. Somebody knows some program do that? | 14:15 |
| untmdsprt | schlaftier: I have a 500GB external drive | 14:15 |
| lxsys | any progress on the ATI drivers yet?? me lappehtop still won't suspend nicely since 9.04 :( | 14:15 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: did you compile the originals by hand or install y package? | 14:15 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: The instructions I read said that you could keep OS X on an external drive, didn't try that though. Firewire or USB is maybe an issue, cf. MikeChelen's answer | 14:15 |
| KnightStalker | linxeh: where is apache config,and by using mod_userdir everything will go okay? | 14:15 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: sounds like its trying to load up old ones | 14:15 |
| klawd | all via packages | 14:15 |
| azi | Tenkawa: you know where to find it at least? | 14:15 |
| kamane | MikeChelen: this has happened on two computers, one with ubuntu and one with xubuntu. i dont know what to put in the bug report, as its very vague in terms of what happens | 14:15 |
| untmdsprt | @schlaftier I'll keep looking to see what I can do | 14:16 |
| jo_ | Das ist ein Test | 14:16 |
| Tenkawa | azi: I think software center/synaptics has it | 14:16 |
| linxeh | KnightStalker: by opening up mod_userdir you are allowing users to host their own pages on your site. you have to configure it properly if you want it secure, and you have to trust your users | 14:16 |
| falafell | MikeChelen, where do i find .fstab? you don't mean /etc/fstab right? | 14:16 |
| untmdsprt | BTW, how do you bold my name when responding to me? | 14:16 |
| azi | Tenkawa: flash is actually installed and it worked prior to the update | 14:16 |
| KnightStalker | linxeh: oh k,and where was the apache configuration again? | 14:16 |
| Tenkawa | azi: yeah.. | 14:16 |
| linxeh | KnightStalker: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html <-- this explains how to configure apache, but not the userdir stuff | 14:16 |
| DASPRiD | untmdsprt, your client does that | 14:16 |
| Tenkawa | azi: I recall it needed to be "re-installed" | 14:16 |
| untmdsprt | hmm, ok | 14:17 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: I just type the first couple of letters and hit <TAB> and my IRC client spells it out for me, then your client knows I'm talking to you | 14:17 |
| untmdsprt | schlaftier: like this? | 14:17 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: i would check that module through apt-file and make sure the package got updated | 14:17 |
| linxeh | KnightStalker: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_userdir.html#userdir this explains the userdir directive | 14:17 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: exactly | 14:17 |
| untmdsprt | sorry, I haven't used IRC in 10 years | 14:17 |
| untmdsprt | trying to get back into it | 14:17 |
| linxeh | KnightStalker: you may also wish to read this first - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html | 14:18 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: no problem | 14:18 |
| untmdsprt | schlaftier: thanks, I'll keep reading the Ubuntu forums to see what everyone else has done | 14:18 |

| untmdsprt | feravoon: hello | 14:19 |
| Astyx | helo feravoon | 14:19 |
| schlaftier | untmdsprt: I just keep OS X on a very small partition on the internal drive. You could resize the partitions using Gparted from a live CD (be careful though and make backups) | 14:19 |
| klawd | Tenkawa: the php version is the current | 14:19 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: including the module packages? | 14:19 |
| feravoon | :D can someone help me? i mistyped it sorry | 14:19 |
| linux | hi all | 14:20 |
| untmdsprt | schlaftier: my OSX needs about 70GB for everything, though I might be able to reduce that by moving my photos | 14:20 |
| IdleOne | !ask | feravoon | 14:20 |
| ubottu | feravoon: 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. :-) | 14:20 |
| Tenkawa | the php5-mysql module specificlt | 14:20 |
| harjot | how do i scan over network? | 14:20 |
| Tenkawa | er specificly | 14:20 |
| linux | i wanna ask one question | 14:20 |
| dazzler | is there a way to change the install path for packages with package manager ? | 14:21 |
| romankrv | what is better use apt-get or aptitude? | 14:21 |
| klawd | Tenkawa: i just purged and reinstalled php5-memcache but it still doesn't load | 14:21 |
| extor | Is there any *nix protection utility similar to smartpar/quickpar which I can use to secure a tarball against future corruption? | 14:21 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: same error? | 14:21 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: with substituted module of course | 14:22 |
| IdleOne | romankrv: both are basically the same, what ever you prefer | 14:22 |
| feravoon | i asked the question three times :( so i am asking again; i have RT73USB wireless card, it works properly in windows. but in ubuntu , internet is very slow. i disabled ipv6 but nothing happened | 14:22 |
| linux | is it possible to install,update packages simultaneously like how we install things in windows | 14:22 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: checking something too | 14:23 |
| unop | linux, not using APT no | 14:23 |
| XieConnect | how many frequent Ubuntu developers are there? anyone has the estimate? | 14:23 |
| unop | linux, it's to stop database corruption - and a broken system - it's a good thing | 14:23 |
| ouyes | I can not set the resolutions to 1280X800 in my virtual system? why ? | 14:24 |
| mithradir | Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.' | 14:24 |
| linux | unop: but one bad thing is that we cnnot stop installation in between like in wndows | 14:24 |
| Tenkawa | mithradir: bad sources.list path | 14:25 |
| goran | sioux_, have you tried grep -f file1 -x file2 | 14:25 |
| Tenkawa | oops | 14:25 |
| linux | unop: recently i was updating ubuntu and power get off i have to reinstall ubuntu again | 14:26 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: you're comparing apt-get to the way windows installs updates?? | 14:26 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: wrong.. you can recover an apt-get interruption | 14:26 |
| linux | how is that possible | 14:26 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: sudo apt-get -f install | 14:27 |
| klawd | Tenkawa: i think i'm gonna reinstall ubuntu. or maybe i try kubuntu or mint this time? | 14:27 |
| untmdsprt | linux: ROFL | 14:27 |
| ohir | bastid_raZor: he's trolling likely | 14:27 |
| untmdsprt | why compare Linux and Windows? | 14:27 |
| ohir | !ot | untmdsprt | 14:27 |
| ubottu | untmdsprt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 14:27 |
| bastid_raZor | ohir: i agree, i just woke up and figured what a great way to start the morning.. | 14:27 |
| linux | <bastid_raZor> me new to linux sorry | 14:27 |
| Tenkawa | klawd: shouldnt need to but good luck though | 14:28 |
| bastid_raZor | klawd: you can install kubuntu beside ubuntu or remove ubuntu and put kubuntu in its place.. with out reinstalling | 14:28 |
| Tenkawa | gotta run.. bbl all | 14:28 |
| klawd | bastid_raZor: how? | 14:28 |
| IdleOne | !purekde | 14:29 |
| ubottu | If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 14:29 |
| bastid_raZor | klawd: to install kubuntu you would install kubuntu-desktop | 14:29 |
| imgarysmith | how to do navigate to a specific file in the terminal? | 14:29 |
| bastid_raZor | klawd: and to remove gnome.. follow the link IdleOne gave | 14:29 |
| michal_ | cześć geje | 14:29 |
| klawd | ok,thanks | 14:29 |
| IdleOne | imgarysmith: cd /path/to/file | 14:29 |
| unop | linux, well, yes, any interruptions to an installation process leave the database locked - but usually it's recoverable and there is NEVER a need for a complete reinstall | 14:29 |
| bastid_raZor | klawd: at the login menu you will have options to choice which you want to use. | 14:29 |
| michal_ | how? | 14:29 |
| michal_ | spierdalać | 14:30 |
| linux | when i was updating update the downloads of packages was completed and it was installing it suddenly power goes off now is it possible to recover | 14:30 |
| bastid_raZor | choose | 14:30 |
| IdleOne | !cz | michal_ | 14:30 |
| ubottu | michal_: České uživatele žádáme, aby mluvili v kanále #ubuntu anglicky. Česky je možno se domluvit v #ubuntu-cz. Děkujeme. | 14:30 |
| michal_ | fuck you son of a bitch!!!! | 14:30 |
| klawd | bastid_raZor: is mint any good? | 14:30 |
| imgarysmith | idleone not working, i must be doing something wrong | 14:30 |
| linux | <unop> when i was updating update the downloads of packages was completed and it was installing it suddenly power goes off now is it possible to recover | 14:30 |
| unop | linux, yes.. usually it is a matter of running this command. sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo aptitude install | 14:31 |
| bastid_raZor | klawd: i have never tried mint. | 14:31 |
| linux | ok | 14:31 |
| === administrator is now known as Guest32787 | ||
| KnightStalker | !fa | knightstalker | 14:31 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: normally, you will get prompted with a solution when apt-get/aptitude encounters errors. | 14:31 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | klawd: I'm a big fan of Linux Mint. Great OS. I think Ubutu 10.04 is the first Ubuntu where I've not immediately jumped over to the new release of Mint. Brilliant switcher distro. | 14:32 |
| KnightStalker | !pe | knightstalker | 14:32 |
| ubuntunewbie | I going to upgrade to lucid 10.04 , which one i should choose ? Ext3 or Ext4 ? | 14:32 |
| bazhang | KnightStalker, /msg ubottu | 14:32 |
| imgarysmith | any help in terminal? | 14:32 |
| KnightStalker | k | 14:32 |
| bazhang | ubuntunewbie, ext4 | 14:32 |
| IdleOne | imgarysmith: what file you looking for? | 14:32 |
| ubuntunewbie | bazhang : oh , is it stable ? | 14:33 |
| bazhang | ubuntunewbie, yes | 14:33 |
| linux | <bastid_raZor> is it possible to update in time specific seasons | 14:33 |
| imgarysmith | idleone i downloaded the gdesklets pack. it is now located in the downloads folder, im trying to run it to install it | 14:33 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | This may be a daft question, but is there anyway of truly completely uninstalling Rhythmbox? | 14:33 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: i don't understand the question. | 14:33 |
| klawd | AcolyteVersion1: can it be installed alongside ubuntu like kubuntu? | 14:33 |
| linux | the file to update is too long and cant install all at once | 14:34 |
| IdleOne | imgarysmith: sudo apt-get install gdeskets | 14:34 |
| imgarysmith | idleone thanks but if i wanted to locate to the file, how o i do that | 14:34 |
| IdleOne | imgarysmith: locate gdesklets.deb | 14:34 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | Klawd: Do you mean as a desktop session? Or as a new partition? If as a new partition, whilst I've not tried personally, I can't see why it'd be a problem. If as a desktop session, then I don't think that's doable. | 14:34 |
| reactor | guys? | 14:34 |
| unop | imgarysmith, cd ~/Desktop/downloads; | 14:35 |
| imgarysmith | idleone thanks | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | imgarysmith: it should be in ~/Downloads | 14:35 |
| ubuntunewbie | bazhang : ext4 is faster on boot up ? | 14:35 |
| aurilliance | I'm downloading a driver from http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm. It is in a tar.gz format, how to I "install" the driver??? | 14:35 |
| reactor | can u tell me where's the original kernel configuration is stored? | 14:35 |
| klawd | AcolyteVersion1: huh. ok. i think i'm just gonna try | 14:35 |
| unop | IdleOne, it's unlikely that locate would find it - if he's just downloaded it | 14:35 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: i'm not sure that makes sense either. | 14:35 |
| IdleOne | unop: true | 14:35 |
| imgarysmith | thanks idleone and unop i didnt add in the ~/ | 14:36 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | Klawd: Good luck. Again, if it's partitioning, you may have to manually specify them, but it shouldn't be an issue. | 14:36 |
| bastid_raZor | !mintsupport > klawd | 14:37 |
| ubottu | klawd, please see my private message | 14:37 |
| bbdude | Uh | 14:37 |
| bbdude | can anyone help me here? | 14:37 |
| ikonia | if you ask a question | 14:37 |
| IdleOne | maybe | 14:37 |
| bbdude | Okay | 14:37 |
| bbdude | I just installed ubuntu via wubi on a pent 4 1.7 with 512 mb of ram | 14:37 |
| bbdude | and | 14:37 |
| bbdude | everything's real slow | 14:38 |
| bbdude | it took 20 minutes to install the flash plugin in firefox | 14:38 |
| mman | hi, could anyone help me with sound manager ?? | 14:38 |
| nagydann | you should have installed Xubuntu | 14:38 |
| ouyes | BluntObject, how to ?"You can use shared folders with VirtualBox"? | 14:38 |
| aurilliance | I'm downloading a driver from http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm. It is in a tar.gz format, how to I "install" the driver??? | 14:38 |
| nagydann | That's much faster | 14:38 |
| bbdude | I don't understand though | 14:38 |
| linux | is it possible to update half today and other next day and renaming on next day because my net speed is slow it takes time to download and almost 2hrs to install them | 14:38 |
| ocatacoo | how do I :simple question: how do I change plymouth to use one of my images | 14:39 |
| Daekdroom | linux, unfortunatelly not.. | 14:39 |
| ikonia | linux: splitting updates is not a good idea | 14:39 |
| linux | but my speed is slow | 14:39 |
| nagydann | Ubuntu (because of Gnome GUI) is not for slow hardwares. | 14:39 |
| linux | no other solution | 14:39 |
| bbdude | how is XP faster than ubuntu on this computer | 14:39 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, XP was released back in 2001. | 14:40 |
| IdleOne | linux: in the Update Manager you can select what packages you want to install be selecting or deselecting the check box next to them. Like ikonia just mentioned it is not a good idea in any OS to split updates | 14:40 |
| ikonia | nagydann: that's nonsense, gnome will work fine, and the definition of slow is subjective | 14:40 |
| mman | hi, could anyone help me with sound manager ?? | 14:40 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, and comes with almost no usable function. You have to download and install everything | 14:40 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | So, does anyone have any tips on actually getting rid of RhythmBox? Problem is, RB keeps force closing on me, but I can't just do a fresh install, as every time I try, it restores my previous settings. Have tried clearing the files in .gconf and in .local, but no luck. | 14:40 |
| nagydann | Try Xubuntu! That will do the job! | 14:40 |
| bbdude | yes, but ubuntu is coming off as bloated right now | 14:40 |
| ocatacoo | can anyone help with plymouth | 14:40 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, It runs faster than Vista/7 for me :P | 14:40 |
| ikonia | bbdude: what video card do you have ? | 14:40 |
| bbdude | 9800 pro | 14:41 |
| nagydann | The definition on definition is subjective too. | 14:41 |
| ikonia | bbdude: what make is that ? | 14:41 |
| bbdude | ati. | 14:41 |
| invzim | After horrible upgrade from karmic to lucid, I find a weird workaround. KDM screen used to blink when I logged in and a fatal X server was logged. So I stopped kdm, rmmod savage (video driver), modprobe savagefb, and type startx from the console instead of going to kdm. And now I am running here! What is going on? How can I make it work the right way? | 14:41 |
| ikonia | nagydann: don't be smart | 14:41 |
| IdleOne | bbdude: since you just installed via wubi I would remove it and do a !dualboot | 14:41 |
| costre | The visual crap in ubuntu was fun for about two weeks ... then I started stripping it down to the essentials, less is more | 14:41 |
| linux | <IdleOne> i understand but for me it take 4 hrs to just download and other 3hrs to install | 14:41 |
| bbdude | remove... what? the whole OS? | 14:41 |
| compaq | google chrome is awesome | 14:42 |
| m3asmi | I've problem to connect to my LAMP !!!! firefox return "Firefox ne peut établir de connexion avec le serveur à l'adresse localhost." | 14:42 |
| costre | linux, That's why I love sweden .. optical fibers for everyone! | 14:42 |
| IdleOne | linux: well, we told you how you could do it and we gave you the warning about it's dangers. the system is yours and you may admin it how you please | 14:42 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: i can only guess you're talking about the initial updates from a fresh install? | 14:42 |
| Igramul | Hi, what could be the problem, if transfers via cifs are exremely slow (1 MB/s on a GBit connection). Server is Ubuntu 10.04 Server, Client is Ubuntu 10.04 desktop. | 14:42 |
| t0mm13b | hi... | 14:43 |
| Micc | why do I get this error when running apt-get update ? karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY | 14:43 |
| compaq | my internet is very fast, cogeco in ontario uses fiber optics for everyone too | 14:43 |
| t0mm13b | is there anywhere I can obtain a kernel config for Ubuntu 10.04 | 14:43 |
| ikonia | t0mm13b: /proc/config.gz | 14:43 |
| t0mm13b | there is no proc/config.gz present? Stock kernel | 14:43 |
| bbdude | IdleOne, could you clarify please | 14:43 |
| unop | Micc, you've enabled a third-party repository for which you haven't installed a public key | 14:43 |
| Igramul | t0mm13b, look in /boot | 14:43 |
| imaginativeone | 10.4 crashed my system | 14:43 |
| imaginativeone | Is there an easy way to recover? | 14:44 |
| ocatacoo | micc the key is not matching or installed | 14:44 |
| IdleOne | bbdude: actually I can't. I may have misspoken when I suggested dual boot. sorry :/ | 14:44 |
| bbdude | hmm | 14:44 |
| compaq | Micc, I get it all the time too, even after I install the key. I guess you have to regenerate the key every time | 14:44 |
| unimatrix9 | hi there | 14:44 |
| bbdude | I just don't understand why ubuntu is being so jarringly clunky | 14:45 |
| IdleOne | bbdude: ikonia knows his stuff I would continue to consult him | 14:45 |
| unimatrix9 | what could i use to benchmark pc' s with ubuntu ( beside phoronix, wich is a bit to heavy ) | 14:45 |
| bbdude | Alright | 14:45 |
| ocatacoo | check the package on launchpad | 14:45 |
| Micc | How do I regenerate the key? | 14:45 |
| linux | <IdleOne> i want to update from 9.04 t0 10 and there was no system for selecting specific packages | 14:45 |
| compaq | Micc, if you are done installing from them, you could just comment out that source and then you would get the error, I just ignore the error myself, hehe | 14:45 |
| unimatrix9 | ikonia is the best ! | 14:45 |
| ouyes | How to share files with my virtual xp? | 14:45 |
| linux | <bastid_raZor> i want to update from 9.04 t0 10 and there was no system for selecting specific packages | 14:45 |
| Micc | how do I ignore the error? It stops everyhing else from updating. | 14:45 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : virtualbox? | 14:45 |
| feravoon | i have rt73usb wireless card. I have very slow internet in ubuntu. But it works properly under windows. I tried to disable ipv6 but nothing changed. can someone help me? | 14:46 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, yes | 14:46 |
| compaq | linucks, you can just type in apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:46 |
| bastid_raZor | linux: correct, you will need to download them all. and upgrade is a major ordeal and requires a large download and a somewhat lengthy install | 14:46 |
| ikonia | bbdude: it's quite possible that everything is not slow, and it all just seems slow due to your video card not being configured correctly or fully supported | 14:46 |
| compaq | linux, you just type apt-get dist-upgrade, or you can you update manager | 14:46 |
| ikonia | bbdude: a lot of people complain of their system running slow, when it's actually running fast, however the visuals are running slow, making it appear slow | 14:46 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, I have installed xp under ubuntu via virtualbox , but I do not know how to share files between them? | 14:46 |
| bbdude | actually the visuals work great | 14:46 |
| bastid_raZor | compaq: dist-upgrade will not upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 14:47 |
| bbdude | but | 14:47 |
| compaq | ikonia, that sound slow to me | 14:47 |
| ikonia | compaq: what ? | 14:47 |
| bbdude | perhaps, if I install ATI's official drivers? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | bbdude: whoaaa there | 14:47 |
| compaq | bastid_raZor, yeah right, how do you do it on the command line then?: | 14:47 |
| Nikole_TheBest | ikonia hi | 14:47 |
| linux | <compaq> what will that do | 14:47 |
| compaq | bastid_raZor, oh I see | 14:47 |
| ocatacoo | does anyone or can anyone help with plymouth | 14:47 |
| ikonia | bbdude: have you enabled the ati drivers in the hardware driver tool ? | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Nikole_TheBest: hello | 14:47 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, 9800 PRO isn't supported by the lastest ATI drivers | 14:47 |
| bastid_raZor | compaq: sudo do-release-upgrade ..is a method | 14:47 |
| bbdude | ikonia: lemme check | 14:47 |
| t0mm13b | Igramul: no... no config.gz | 14:47 |
| compaq | linux, forget it, my bad, I thought you wanted to do it to 10.0.4, look at what bastid_raZor said | 14:48 |
| t0mm13b | Igramul: not in /boot | 14:48 |
| madadam | Hi! I have a little problem with 3d rendering http://paste.ubuntu.com/438337/ Someone could give me an hand? | 14:48 |
| ouyes | how to get hardware decoding in smplayer, I have an ati vga card | 14:48 |
| bbdude | daekdroom: there's legacy drivers I believe still available on ati's site | 14:48 |
| feravoon | why do you keep ignoring me? | 14:48 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, they're compatible only up to 9.04 release, tho | 14:48 |
| Igramul | t0mm13b, config-somversionnumber-generic | 14:48 |
| unimatrix9 | install vboxgeustadditions | 14:48 |
| compaq | ikonia, my visuals speeded up, all I had to was switch from firefox to chrome | 14:48 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | ouyes: In the VM settings, try making the XP VM use a bridged adapter. The XP VM will then show up on your local network and can share files then as you would any other PC on the network. I've always found that easier to set up than VBox Guest Sharing, at least over on Vista. | 14:48 |
| bbdude | daekdroom: true, but whatever works :D | 14:48 |
| t0mm13b | Igramul: in /boot? | 14:48 |
| sharkzz | hye all... | 14:48 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : boot up your xp and install the tool | 14:48 |
| ikonia | compaq: I'm not sure how that's relevant to any of the current discussion | 14:48 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, I'd honestly give the r300g driver a shot | 14:49 |
| compaq | ikonia, or I could turn of compiz and run metacity, but I love the scale feature | 14:49 |
| Igramul | t0mm13b, yes, in /boot - those should be the configurations of the default kernels | 14:49 |
| laen | Just installed FreeNX on a fresh 10.04 desktop according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX#Installing%20the%20FreeNX%20server%20on%20Ubuntu%20Lucid%20(10.04) ..but it's not working, there's no NX configuration in sshd_config, and there's no nx process? | 14:49 |
| compaq | ikonia, ok, excuse me | 14:49 |
| ikonia | compaq: again, I don't know why are you are telling me this | 14:49 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : VBoxGuestAdditions | 14:49 |
| queljin | t0mm13b, default kernel configs are in /boot | 14:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | ouyes, I've only heard of that being possible with nvidia and vdpau - good luck. | 14:49 |
| t0mm13b | Igramul: thanks! ;) | 14:49 |
| compaq | ikonia, ok forget it | 14:49 |
| queljin | t0mm13b, try "ls -la /boot/config-`uname -r`" | 14:49 |
| t0mm13b | queljin: thanks | 14:49 |
| bbdude | daekdroom: r300g? Those custom drivers of some sort? | 14:50 |
| feravoon | hello | 14:50 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, how to install it? install it in ubuntu? | 14:50 |
| Daekdroom | bbdude, a very bleeding edge driver that uses a new mesa architecture | 14:50 |
| linux | <compaq><bastid_raZor> is it possible to download all packages one day and then save or something like that so that i can install them on another day | 14:50 |

| compaq | linux, yeah, I want to do that now too. I guess you run the apt-get install command, take not of the files it downloads, and then wget them one by one, for install later. But I wish there was a better way. Let me know if you find one | 14:51 |
| needhelp | is there a way to make the usb live and maybe insert a grub entry so that it loads the usb? Booting from usb may not be happening due to bios issues, since the flash disks | 14:51 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | well, I guess I give up on RhythmBox for now. I'll have to jump ship to Exaile :-\ Cannot work out how to get rid of these segmentation errors, and reinstalling just reloads the old configs. *sigh* | 14:52 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : VBoxGuestAdditions , you boot the virtual xp and install it there | 14:52 |
| anodesni | My gnome systray is messed up, now the mail icon is gone (for chatting), but sometimes the network applet is gone. By gone I mean that it displays a blank area instead of an icon and it has lost its function. | 14:52 |
| compaq | linux, I want to download and store all those things I install after a fresh install, like mplayer, and flash, and then next time I install, I can install without the internet | 14:52 |
| nigelb | Is there a problem with windows 7 overwriting grub2 every time I boot into windows 7? I keep running into it | 14:52 |

| Ganon_ | Hi there, I've got some problems with my ATI Radeon HD 3850 and Ubuntu 10.04.. The official driver from ATI slows down my framerate to 1100 per 5 seconds.. But without the driver, I don't have direct rendering.. but a framerate of 5300 per 5 seconds.. | 14:52 |
| sharkzz | yea.. | 14:53 |
| ocatacoo | needhelp whats up? | 14:53 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | nigelb: I've had a dual boot of Win7 & Ubuntu. 7 wrecked grub the first boot, but after I restored Grub via LiveCD, it didn't overwrite it again. | 14:53 |
| compaq | needhelp, sorry but, why do you want to boot from usb, especially if your bios doesn't support it? | 14:53 |
| anodesni | can anybody help me fix the systray? | 14:53 |
| linux | <compaq> me too lets see if it is possible | 14:53 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: hm, its rewriting on every boot into windows 7 | 14:53 |
| needhelp | compaq: well it used to boot from it previously | 14:53 |
| feravoon | hello | 14:54 |
| compaq | needhelp, oh, so your bios does support it | 14:54 |
| tyranos | PrebenR, you can use the ~/.ssh/config file to store hosts and usernames and other options as well | 14:54 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : yes , start virtualbox | 14:54 |
| sharkzz | hello feravoon.. | 14:54 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : did you start it? | 14:54 |
| sharkzz | that right.. | 14:54 |
| ocatacoo | have you changed boot order or settings in bios | 14:54 |
| compaq | needhelp, maybe you should make your boot usb again, such as if you pulled it out during a copy operation | 14:54 |

| AcolyteVersion1 | nigelb: Just to double check, are you actually repairing grub2 or are you using something like EasyBCD in Windows to try and add the Linux boot option? | 14:55 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : one other qeustion ., did you install the version in ubuntu or downloaded the commercial one from virtualbox webpage? | 14:55 |
| Ganon_ | anyone?? | 14:55 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: I'm booting into live cd and repairing grub2 | 14:55 |
| pompa | hi everyone, I was testing irssi a bit, but let's take the occasion to ask why the hell Ubuntu One is not working... | 14:55 |
| sharkzz | yup | 14:55 |
| unimatrix9 | the commercial one has more options, i dont know if you can share files with the open version in repositorie of ubuntu | 14:55 |
| unimatrix9 | any way | 14:56 |
| sharkzz | Ganon_ | 14:56 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: did that thrice | 14:56 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, just sudo apt-get install ...... | 14:56 |
| imgarysmith | that only tells me how to unpack it, how do i install it | 14:56 |
| ouyes | ah no | 14:56 |
| ocatacoo | idle one where can I find help with plymouth | 14:56 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, I installed it in the software center | 14:56 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : in the menu you see file, then go there and to virtula media manager | 14:56 |
| feravoon | my internet is vey slow comparing to speed in windows. why is that? | 14:56 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | nigelb: Ah. Just checking, 'cause I tried the EasyBCD route at first with no joy. I'm.. honestly stumped then. I've had to restore Grub2 for an XP and Win7 dual boot, but every time, the restore stuck and didn't have to do it again. | 14:56 |
| PrebenR | hi. I'm trying to setup the system so I can ssh MachineX and not have to type MachineX.local (or .lan). I thought a search local in /etc/resolve.conf would work, but no .. | 14:57 |

| imgarysmith | bastidrazor there is no readme file | 14:57 |

| sharkzz | White screen.. | 14:57 |
| bastidrazor | imgarysmith: then you need instructions from the website you downloaded it from | 14:57 |
| sharkzz | anybody can help.? | 14:57 |
| linux | is it possible to save the packages,apps what we download by sudo install apt-get command | 14:57 |
| sharkzz | y.. | 14:57 |
| feravoon | my internet is vey slow comparing to speed in windows. why is that? | 14:57 |
| imgarysmith | bastidrazor ill check that now, thanks | 14:58 |
| tyranos | adola, cat filename | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $#}' , replace # with col num of the string you want if they are separated with whitspace | 14:58 |
| unimatrix9 | and see if there is an option for add , and add the VBoxGeustAdditions ( if its there ) | 14:58 |
| iflema | !repeat | feravoon | 14:58 |
| ubottu | feravoon: 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. | 14:58 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: something wrong with my win7 then, sigh | 14:58 |
| iflema | linux /var/apt/cache is where they end up | 14:58 |
| unimatrix9 | add the VBoxGeustAdditions.iso | 14:58 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : is it there? | 14:58 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : CD/DVD Images | 14:59 |
| iflema | linux sorry.... /var/cache/apt | 14:59 |
| vbl | <imgarysmith> what package are you trying to install?? | 14:59 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | nigelb: If it's any help, I remember reading something about Win7 storing the boot info on a small separate partition, rather than just on C as in Vista. Maybe it's worth digging about in GParted and seeing if there's anything wonky with the partitions in there. | 14:59 |
| compaq | linux, you can do it with wget | 14:59 |
| feravoon | ubottu: but i thought it is a simple question for people here | 14:59 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:59 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: I'll try that, thanks :) | 14:59 |
| linux | but they must be removed after installation iflema | 14:59 |
| sharkzz | yea... | 15:00 |
| sharkzz | wget apps... | 15:00 |
| imaginativeone | I seem to have lost a drive. How do I get it back? | 15:00 |
| iflema | linux if you clean them out.... yeah | 15:00 |
| linux | <compaq> what will this do and how | 15:00 |
| ocatacoo | feravoon what was the question? | 15:00 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | nigelb: No problem, and good luck. Sorry I can't be more help. If memory serves, the Win7 partition I'm talking about was pretty tiny. About 100MB or possibly less. Hope you can get things sorted :) | 15:00 |
| linux | <iflema> so how ill save them | 15:00 |
| feravoon | ocatacoo: my internet is very slow comparing to that in windows | 15:00 |
| nigelb | AcolyteVersion1: thanks mate, hope so | 15:01 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, yes I see | 15:01 |
| iflema | linux they should remain until you manually clean basically | 15:01 |
| IdleOne | linux: I believe you can also do sudo apt-get upgrade -d | 15:01 |
| === Sean is now known as Guest90980 | ||
| ouyes | unimatrix9, I see my xp | 15:01 |
| compaq | ok type in apt-get install gcc and then when it get to the stage where you see get:1, 2, 3, ...hit ctrl +c to interrupt | 15:01 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, it is there | 15:01 |
| ocatacoo | make sure you are not using a proxy | 15:01 |
| compaq | Linux, apt is running wget at that point and so you can do the same yourself | 15:01 |
| IdleOne | linux: the -d switch should download only | 15:01 |
| ocatacoo | are you static or dynamic? | 15:01 |
| compaq | IdleOne, woow, thanks | 15:02 |
| linux | <IdleOne> will it save example vlc hot to save | 15:02 |
| geez | The update manager wants me 2 upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04LTS. The website says the stable dist came out Apr. 29. Is this safe? | 15:02 |
| unimatrix9 | ouyes : did you add the VBoxGuestAdditions.iso ? could you find it? | 15:02 |
| linux | how to save sorry | 15:02 |
| AcolyteVersion1 | Well, got to run. Good luck to nigelb, and thanks to anyone who took a look at the RyhtmBox problem for me. Might try back later if I feel like fighting RB again :p. | 15:02 |
| iflema | linux they go stale any way..... if ya wanna split the upgrade (not recommended or do it asap) apt-get upgrade -d will download only | 15:02 |
| IdleOne | linux: what do you save? | 15:02 |
| compaq | IdleOne, what do you use the -d switch with? | 15:02 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, how to add VBoxGuestAdditions.iso | 15:02 |
| coz_ | geez, in all honesty I would recomment downloading the cd for ubuntu 10.04 .. backup what you need to and clean install instead of upgrading | 15:02 |
| iflema | linux and when finished downloading next time you issue ap-get upgrade itll do it | 15:02 |
| compaq | IdleOne, oh, I got it I think | 15:03 |
| IdleOne | compaq: I have never used it. man apt-get to read more about it | 15:03 |

| Yautja_Cetanu | Hi, I'm trying to downgrade 10.04 to 9:10, I have the installer and I'm in the "select partitions" bit. I don't need my data. Can I just write over /dev/sda5/ with 9:10 and expect things to just work? | 15:09 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, any further tips? | 15:09 |
| bondiblueos9 | masterslakk, no that just lists all the files in the current directory | 15:09 |
| ouyes | unimatrix9, I can see my xp | 15:09 |
| oCean_ | bondiblueos9: "ls -1" ? | 15:09 |
| r2pashto | raddy: so "mv ~/.gnome2 ~/.gnome2.bak", and then logout and log back in | 15:09 |
| masterslakk | bondiblueos9, what are you trying to do again? | 15:09 |
| compaq | linux, so when we do a fresh install, we could just do apt-get clean, which deletes all the files in that directory, and then when we install flash, and mplayer, and whatever, we can just cp those files, and then take that directory to another fresh install, and do dpkg -i /dir/*deb | 15:09 |
| masterslakk | bondiblueos9, man ls | 15:09 |
| unimatrix9 | what could i use to benchmark pc' s with ubuntu ( beside phoronix, wich is a bit to heavy ) | 15:10 |
| bondiblueos9 | masterslakk, oCean_ : image that you've got a directory with subdirectories etc and you have put it into a tar archive with tar -cf archive.tar mydirectory | 15:10 |
| bondiblueos9 | I want what tar -tf archive.tar would output | 15:10 |
| raddy | r2pashto: Yeah, that may resolve my problem, but i don't wanna resetup everything, as this setup continues from 9.04 | 15:10 |
| tmas | back | 15:10 |
| bondiblueos9 | maybe fine | 15:10 |
| bondiblueos9 | *find | 15:10 |
| masterslakk | bondiblueos9, like direct output to another file? | 15:11 |
| ocatacoo | raddy what wm do you use | 15:11 |
| linux | compaq do dpkg -i /dir/*deb what this do | 15:11 |
| bondiblueos9 | masterslakk that would be ideal yes | 15:11 |
| compaq | it will install all those deb packages | 15:11 |
| raddy | ocatacoo: wm provided by compiz | 15:11 |
| masterslakk | bondiblueos9, then you do command and append this "> filename.txt" | 15:11 |
| r2pashto | raddy: understood ... sounds like you have a session-manager issue ... I'm not familiar enough with the session management to know how to fine-tune control it, sorry | 15:11 |
| oCean_ | bondiblueos9: list subdirectories? You could use "ls -alR" (recursive) or a find command: "find ." | 15:11 |
| IdleOne | linux: after you run sudo apt-get upgrade -d and you want to install those debs that have been downloaded you will run sudo apt-get upgrade --no-download (that will install the debs that have been already downloaded) | 15:11 |
| raddy | r2pashto: Ohhh | 15:12 |
| ocatacoo | you mean gnome | 15:12 |
| masterslakk | bondiblueos9, that will print the output into a file to look at... then look at it by cat filename.txt | 15:12 |
| pompa | pompa | 15:12 |
| bondiblueos9 | masterslakk, oCean_ : thanks, I think find mydirectory will do what I want | 15:12 |
| compaq | linux, apt-get is a script, it does wget to download the files, and some other program to calculated dependencies and wget those files too, and then it does dpkg -i all those packages it downloads | 15:12 |

| raddy | Only weird thing is, when i reconfigure compiz using Desktop Effects, why is it not being remembered? | 15:16 |
| IdleOne | linux: linux: that will install vlc, not sure if using the -d switch with apt-get install is necessary because the .deb will automatically be saved in /var/cache/apt/archives | 15:16 |

| r2pashto | x9: there are a couple of ways to find where it is located; first, if it's an executable in your path, "which <app-name>" will give you the full path; if it's a file itself, a quick way to find out what files a specific package includes is by using "dpkg-query -L <pkg-name>" (you may want to add "| less" to page through it all) | 15:19 |

| compaq | Yautja_Cetanu, you can hit ctrl+alt+f1, actually f1 thru to f6, they are all command lines for you to use, even when you don't have desktop. Then do apt-get remove brooken-driver, and then apt-get install the one that works, and then do /etc/init.d/gdm restart, or just reboot | 15:20 |
| r2pashto | bastidrazor: do you really need sudo in that one? | 15:20 |

| r2pashto | dhdev: which wireless card does it have? if it's bcm-based, I'm using the Broadcom STA wireless driver (accessible via System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers) for my bcm4328 | 15:24 |
| tmas-laptop | how do I do that? | 15:24 |
| tmas-desktop | ^^ me | 15:25 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | Compaq I install it the first time, I installed it using the setting "Install Ubuntu alongside other OSes" | 15:25 |
| linux | compaq what this means Need to get 18.8MB/24.1MB of archives. | 15:25 |
| tmas-desktop | not the leave | 15:25 |
| linux | After this operation, 69.2MB of additional disk space will be used. | 15:25 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | Compaq so now I want to install an older version again but I can't do it the same way | 15:25 |
| compaq | so do the same thing, only delete the ubuntu partition not the other windows one or any other you want to keep, and the it wil make a new grub for you | 15:25 |
| r2pashto | question: periodically I see smbd, nmbd, and mysql running; I've used update-rc.d and can verify that all of the /etc/rc?.d/K* scripts are correct (and no S*) scripts. I *think* the apps are being started coming out of a suspend (s2r), but I can't verify. What *other* mechanisms are used to start services? (I can stop them manually every time with no problem, but I shouldn't need to.) | 15:26 |
| Yautja_Cetanu | compaq ok thanks | 15:26 |
| cjdevlin | euthymos: what exactly is it 'complaining' about? | 15:26 |
| euthymos | Can't find file: './mysql/user.frm' | 15:26 |
| mkhanyisi | tmas-desktop, am not sure about rEFIt, but the grub menu always has an option for recovery mode | 15:26 |
| mkhanyisi | tmas-desktop, maybe not the case for you but I had an ATI radeon graphics card and samething happened to me and I had to install the drivers (fglrx) first | 15:26 |
| euthymos | please not it's a fresh install of mysql after a --purge | 15:26 |
| euthymos | *note | 15:26 |
| tmas-laptop | fglrx? | 15:27 |
| tmas-laptop | is that the driver? | 15:27 |
| ZykoticK9 | r2pashto, if you are using Karmic or Lucid it is Upstart that manages services, have a look at /etc/init/ | 15:27 |
| tmas-laptop | I've dealt with my fair share of problems on Ubuntu with macs, but this doesn't seem to be even related to them. | 15:27 |
| linux | any one what does this mean Need to get 18.8MB/24.1MB of archives. | 15:27 |
| linux | After this operation, 69.2MB of additional disk space will be used. | 15:27 |

| tmas-laptop | mkhanyisi: I don't have grub and rEFIt doesn't have a safe-mode. | 15:28 |
| r2pashto | ZykoticK9: yeah, I got that ... which is why I've been training myself to use "service" and "update-rc.d" instead of managing the links myself; are the /etc/rc?.d/ scripts not the *only* place to define when specific services are started? | 15:28 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: before the install there is no /var/lib/mysql directory | 15:28 |
| BabyGirlsVet | who is having problems w/their keyboard & mouse freezing randomly?? | 15:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | r2pashto, have a look at /etc/init/ directory | 15:29 |
| euthymos | after install, the 'mysql' user owns it | 15:29 |
| BabyGirlsVet | or, who has the fix? | 15:29 |

| tmas-desktop | Ok, only one of me now. | 15:29 |

| r2pashto | looking in /etc/init/ I see a lot of conf files, which is fine. I can edit files all day, but nothing there tells me why these services are starting | 15:30 |

| slavik | satish: | 15:31 |
| satish | yes | 15:31 |
| iflema | linux 18mb will be downloaded..... and an additional 69mb will be used for the install...... | 15:31 |
| r2pashto | ZykoticK9: please understand, I'm not new to linux by any stretch, just new to upstart. Are rc?.d scripts being deprecated in place of the dependency-based upstart system? | 15:31 |
| cjdevlin | euthymos: that is usually a permissions error. i would double check the user files just to be sure. | 15:31 |
| linux | ok | 15:31 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: are there any mysql-related files even under ~ directory? | 15:32 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: other files cannot have bad permissions since they don't exist before install | 15:32 |
| r2pashto | dhdev: the 1397 is specifically supported in the Broadcom STA drivers. Try installing bcmwl-kernel-source and see if System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers lets you activate the Broadcom STA Wireless Driver. From there, NetworkManager should be friendly enough to "just work". | 15:32 |

| r2pashto | acicula: cron doesn't appear to do it, so it must be dbus ... without editing conf files (which I'm perfectly comfortable with, if needed) is there a way to find out where in dbus it's defined to start these services? | 15:44 |
| tmas | I have a MacBook Pro with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and rEFIt. When it boots, it goes to the rEFIt menu. I select Ubuntu and it goes to a black screen with a white underscore-style cursor. I can't type any commands. Oh, my install CD was perfectly good, MD5 matched. Please help. | 15:44 |
| tmas | Should I try with a variant? | 15:44 |
| acicula | r2pashto, dunno | 15:44 |

| r2pashto | acicula: thanks ... sounds like I may have to strong-arm this | 15:44 |
| acicula | what process is being started exactly, and as whom | 15:44 |
| iflema | linux when i say asap i mean dont apt-get update in between.... there is a difference between upgrade and update | 15:44 |
| compaq | tmas, how long does it stay there, cause desktop does that too, and then it finally loads gdm. But it doesn't take very long, how long do you wait | 15:45 |
| r2pashto | acicula: smbd, nmbd, and mysql ... by their normal users | 15:45 |
| linux | ifleam wanna show u output | 15:45 |
| tmas | It stays there for however long i leave it. | 15:45 |
| cjdevlin | euthymos: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/pnkM0GdV | 15:45 |
| cjdevlin | that will give you a new, fresh mysql, reinstalling the mysql common files also | 15:45 |
| linux | iflema wanna show u output | 15:46 |
| acicula | r2pashto, all started from /etc/init | 15:46 |
| compaq | tmas, can you get a shell by hitting ctrl+alt+f1? | 15:46 |
| iksf | eya all | 15:46 |
| tmas | I left it for almost 30 minutes and it still didn't boot. | 15:46 |
| tmas | nope | 15:46 |
| r2pashto | acicula: yeah, but nothing lists a dependency on any of those three | 15:46 |
| iflema | linux type the first few letters of a nick the press 'tab' to auto-complete to make sure ya get the nick right | 15:46 |
| Jacruth | Could I use HDPARM to spin down my hard disk if Ubuntu recognize it as SDA? | 15:46 |
| compaq | tmas, woow, not once did it boot? you need to try to re-install again, maybe you messed up the partitioning | 15:47 |
| tmas | no, it didn't. | 15:47 |
| iflema | linux ok... not sure what ya showing if big pastebin in.... | 15:47 |
| tmas | I actually let it do the partitioning itself. | 15:47 |
| r2pashto | mreh: I have a 3-line script that works (no error checking though) if you wanted to use it to start with for your stdin requirement | 15:47 |
| compaq | tmas, were you following instructions for your architecture | 15:47 |
| mreh | r2pashto, thanks | 15:47 |
| tmas | You know, the option to use the whole disk. | 15:47 |
| linux | ifleam vlc is Download complete and in download only mode | 15:47 |
| linux | now wanna install | 15:47 |
| acicula | Jacruth, you have to use the right drive name as an argument, but why are you trying to spin down the disk? | 15:48 |
| tmas | No, I just did it. I usually figure it out on my own :) | 15:48 |
| compaq | tmas, I don't know if this makes a difference, but I use ext3 filessystem, where as it format ext4 automatically | 15:48 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: worked like a charm. | 15:48 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: what the hell it was? | 15:48 |

| liminal | hello | 15:48 |
| tmas | I don't know what the partitions need to be. Is there somewhere I can find that? | 15:48 |
| iflema | linux well if ya used the -d option.... offline apt-get install vlc | 15:48 |
| compaq | tmas, if you decide to give it another go, make sure and try ext3 instead of the ext4, so manually partition it this time | 15:48 |
| mreh | r2pashto, my client kick up a window, I had no idea what was going on, try again | 15:49 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: thank you | 15:49 |
| Jacruth | acicula, in order to power saving and to stop Linux from accessing the drive needlessly | 15:49 |
| liminal | im trying to install ubuntu lts 10.4 desktop 32bit, but it crashes | 15:49 |
| iflema | linux or goint var/cache/apt/archive and use dpkg | 15:49 |
| liminal | offers to loadup a desktop session so i can investigate | 15:49 |
| yash | hi | 15:49 |
| cjdevlin | it's usually a permissions thing btw mysql server and how it accesses that common files. which is why i asked who owned that specific file. if it wasn't that, then it had to be this. | 15:49 |
| compaq | tmas, do this, make about 1 gig swap, 5gig /, and rest for /home, that how I like to do it, if your harddrive is huge, you can make / 10gig instead | 15:49 |
| liminal | what logs should i look at| | 15:49 |
| pallgone | tmas: is it always showing the blinking cursor? | 15:50 |
| cjdevlin | euthymos: np go forth and sql | 15:50 |
| linux | iflema, ok installing | 15:50 |
| compaq | tmas, and make them all primary if it the only os on | 15:50 |
| tmas | I think I know what to do now. Would it work to install with standard partitions, then use gparted on the cd to reformat the ext4 as ext3? | 15:50 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: can you give me a clue of what this package mess was about? | 15:50 |
| tmas | Nevermind. | 15:50 |
| dhdev | r2pashto: nope | 15:50 |
| compaq | tmas, I guess, but the standard is all in one partition, you can manually do that yourself too | 15:51 |
| r2pashto | mreh: that of course assumes you have feh installed, but it can easily be changed to use <insert-image-viewer> as long as it works from the command line | 15:51 |
| linux | iflema, after installing will it be there or cleared | 15:51 |
| compaq | tmas, actually, it won't work, the gparted method, cause formatting deletes everything | 15:51 |
| r2pashto | dhdev: after installing bcmwl-kernel-source, are you saying Hardware Drivers doesn't list Broadcom STA as an option? | 15:51 |
| iflema | linux package should remain in /var/cache/apt/archive..... it does on my Ubuntu...... you can do ya whole system upgrade with the -d option and complete later offline, just dont apt-get update in themiddle of all that..... | 15:52 |
| codertux | hi, I've just updated my ubuntu 8.04 server to 10.04. it's running in a xen VM. the problem is it always hangs after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ...Done" any ideas why? | 15:52 |
| compaq | tmas, I like to separate / /home cause if I fill up my hard drive, my system is ok cause its on /, and only /home is full | 15:52 |
| cjdevlin | euthymos: whenever you reinstall the server, you have to reinstall the common files also. the third line forces the common files to be reinstalled w/o messing up any of the dependencies | 15:52 |
| r2pashto | dhdev: does "lspci" list your wireless device? | 15:52 |
| utku | All colors in videos looks strange in Ubuntu 10.04: water is red, people's tan is blue... | 15:52 |
| euthymos | cjdevlin: thx :)( | 15:52 |

| r2pashto | utku: perhaps your rose-colored glasses need tuning ;-) | 15:53 |
| linux | iflema, can i do it to upgrade ubuntu 9..04 to 10.04 | 15:53 |
| slavik | utku: use vlc/mplayer instead of movie-player | 15:53 |
| Dodobird | utku: Which video player are you using? And are you having trouble with colors in any other application? | 15:53 |
| xangua | linux: no | 15:53 |
| compaq | utku, open totem and edit preference, and the video, and then hit reset | 15:53 |
| utku | Dodobird: All of them. | 15:53 |

| utku | same | 15:54 |
| liminal | im trying to install ubuntu lts 10.4 desktop 32bit, but it crashes | 15:54 |
| compaq | its wierd totem has video setting system wide, so when you resent in totem, it is reset for mplayer, and vlc too | 15:54 |
| pallgone | utku: have you checked your eyes? ;) | 15:54 |
| liminal | it offers me a desktop session to investigate | 15:54 |

| liminal | where do i start? | 15:55 |
| waieez | hi i'm trying to install nero using a CD but it says the file is not marked as an executable. how do i get it to install? | 15:55 |
| compaq | utku, when you play the video in totem,, it will install necessary drivers automatically for you too | 15:55 |
| r2pashto | utku: what's your color depth in xorg.conf? ("grep Depth /etc/X11/xorg.conf") | 15:55 |

| masterslakk | it didn't work last time i did it... i did that intuitively and it didn't work... | 16:03 |

| utku | r2pashto: nvidia-settings is not installed, I'm installing it right now. | 16:04 |
| masterslakk | utku, i think you should install it through the hardware drivers interface | 16:04 |

| iflema | compaq you can also order one and pay for it...... | 16:06 |
| r2pashto | masterslakk: I though nvidia-settings controlled *whichever* driver it found; it doesn't actually depend on any nvidia-* packages (i.e. -kernel-source) being installed (though they do depend on it ... interesting ...) | 16:06 |

| Jacruth | # hdparm -B 255 | 16:13 |
| Jacruth | #} | 16:13 |
| compaq | tmas, this is what I do, first I delete them all, and then I make a new partition, specify the size, and it then should ask, primary or logical, it doesn't really matter, but I select primary | 16:13 |
| tyranos_ | Jacruth, just remove # | 16:13 |
| tyranos_ | no | 16:13 |

| christopher | hello quick question (couldn't find much on the web): Is there a commercial outlet for ubuntu software? (commercial ubuntu software) | 16:14 |
| Jacruth | however... there is no "hda" in /dev/ | 16:14 |
| _raven_ | greezmunkey, anything special for ubuntu systems? need a cluster as easy as possible... | 16:14 |
| compaq | tmas, wierd, maybe you didn't notice that option, it should be there, dunno | 16:14 |
| slavik | _raven_: what kind of cluster | 16:14 |
| _raven_ | slavenode, high performance | 16:15 |
| tmas | I'll try again. | 16:15 |
| r2pashto | utku: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. If it doesn't give you the option to activate the binary-only driver then you may need to "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" (which *should* give you your dependencies) | 16:15 |
| compaq | tmas, if it ask primary/logical, it will ask before it ask what you want it formatted as | 16:15 |
| tyranos_ | Jacruth, you have to edit /etc/hdparm.conf and uncomment the line that says apm=255 and you it should be set to 255 permanently | 16:15 |
| slavik | greezmunkey: I am planning on installing jaunty for my wifi issue | 16:15 |

| jud | i ve looked over it 10 times, there's no bad format visible | 16:15 |
| _raven_ | test | 16:15 |
| Jacruth | tyranos, thanks, do you think that -B is useful? | 16:15 |
| r2pashto | jud: you may need to change the separator between each address. Is it one-per-line? | 16:16 |
| _raven_ | slavik, computing like video rendering or something like this | 16:16 |
| greezmunkey | _raven_: Your question answers itself. The only reason to cluster is for performance. Play with it and leasrn how to do it - the performance will be there if you do it right. | 16:16 |
| slavik | _raven_: maya cluster? | 16:16 |
| onetinsoldier | hi all | 16:16 |
| jud | r2pashto: yes it is | 16:16 |
| _raven_ | slavik, what do you mean? | 16:16 |
| tmas | compaq: It just doesn't ask at all. I guess I'll just hope it turns out ok. | 16:16 |
| r2pashto | jud: if so, try "sed -e 's/$/,/g' < file1 > file2" and pasting from that second file instead. If that doesn't work, try "sed -e 's/$/;/g' < file1 > file2" instead. | 16:16 |
| greezmunkey | slavik: yeah, that's one way to go. | 16:17 |
| compaq | you can't cluster firefox, or mplayer, it is only useful for specific applications designed for clusters | 16:17 |
| r2pashto | utku: okay ... huh ... I'm stumped, sorry | 16:17 |
| slavik | _raven_: maya, the rendering package :) they have some cluster stuff | 16:17 |
| tmas | compaq: maybe it's because I'm installing on /dev/sdb | 16:17 |
| compaq | tmas, it won't make a difference. Did you delete all the partitions first? | 16:17 |
| compaq | tmas, how many harddrive are on that computer? | 16:18 |
| _raven_ | slavik, and i want this for example for the seti or similar projects | 16:18 |
| greezmunkey | _raven_: typically clusters are used by scientists who write their own specific software. | 16:18 |
| _raven_ | greezmunkey, i know | 16:18 |
| slavik | _raven_: umm, you kind of need to figure out what kind of cluster you want since you will need specific software for each thing | 16:18 |
| slavik | s/thing/purpose/ | 16:19 |
| aether | Hi all. I can see in new versions of ubuntu, scripts from /etc/update-motd.d/ are run at SSH login. Can I prevent them from running? What exactly runs them? | 16:19 |
| compaq | I wanted to try and run a cluster but it is useless to me. | 16:19 |
| slavik | _raven_: you can build a hadoop cluster ... | 16:19 |
| r2pashto | tmas: please correct me if I'm wrong: using rEFIt, you're trying to boot from /dev/sdb, right? | 16:19 |
| tmas | compaq: I have one internal and one external usb2.0 | 16:19 |
| tmas | yes | 16:19 |
| greezmunkey | _raven_: here is an entire list of stories regarding clustering on th ePS3: http://tech.slashdot.org/tag/playstation | 16:19 |
| tmas | I deleted all partitions first, but left the partition table so I can still boot from it. | 16:20 |
| compaq | tmas, unplug the external | 16:20 |
| greezmunkey | -raer, and other related Linux/PS3 stuff... | 16:20 |
| utku | r2pashto: I'm gonna re-install :P | 16:20 |
| tmas | I'm installing it on the external :P | 16:21 |
| r2pashto | tmas: I'm not familiar with rEFIt, but the website specifically says "This is not explicitly supported by rEFIt at this time" (primarily because the author doesn't have a suitable test system and can't verify it), though Apple's Boot Camp FAQ says it should be feasible. | 16:21 |
| compaq | tmas, if you leave the partition table then you didn't delete anything | 16:21 |
| christopher | I love open source and all, but I just don't know where to turn if a particular free product is under supported, or I just can't even find documentation for it. Is there any place that helps facilitates (sells) open source (not always "free" by definition) commercial products? where I can find a social contract made something other than guilt ^_^? | 16:21 |
| r2pashto | utku: bummer, sorry man. I've done that too many times and know it's frustrating. | 16:21 |
| gopper | Hello, can anyone tell me why the transparency visual effect (Alt + Scroll) does not work in ubuntu 10.04? | 16:22 |
| r2pashto | tmas: okay, well, for that the website says that this is not well-supported by Apple's firmware. | 16:22 |
| t4m1n0_ | why do I keep getting command not found after executing: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates???? | 16:22 |
| compaq | tmas, ubuntu will reformat the drive and make a new parition table, and install grub boot loader to the master boot record | 16:22 |
| tmas | ok | 16:22 |
| xangua | gopper: have you activated the plugin in compiz setting manager¿¿ | 16:22 |
| melrokz | Hi. How do i setup a facebook chat account in empathy, Ubuntu 10.04? The obvious way does not seem to work, authentication failure, though it's the right password... | 16:22 |
| compaq | tmas, now we know why it didn't boot the last time | 16:22 |
| tmas | why? | 16:22 |
| tmas | It got that far... | 16:22 |
| onetinsoldier | christopher: well, Canonical sells official tech support | 16:23 |
| compaq | because you installed on usb, or kept the old partition table... | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | christopher, if you want enterpriswe support then it isn't exactly open source ...there are enterprise liux OSs for sale like redhat and mandriva. | 16:23 |
| compaq | tmas, did you unplug the usb drive? | 16:23 |
| t4m1n0_ | why do I keep getting command not found after executing: sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates Is there a different command for removing the ppa repository? | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | err linux | 16:23 |
| r2pashto | tmas: the boot CD is able to install to drives that the computer is unable to boot to | 16:23 |
| tmas | No, I'm installing onto it. | 16:23 |
| Daekdroom | t4m1n0_, did you install ppa-purge package? | 16:23 |
| xangua | melrokz: you can see a little how to in http://planet.pidgin.im/ works for anny jabber im | 16:23 |
| Daekdroom | t4m1n0_, it doesn't come installed by default | 16:24 |
| tmas | I know, and I can boot to it. | 16:24 |
| t4m1n0_ | Daekdroom thanx | 16:24 |
| tmas | It just doesn't get further than the messed-up console. | 16:24 |
| Irunongames | I can't find where tork was downloaded from the respiratory - I need to find the folder it's in | 16:24 |
| onetinsoldier | t4m1n0_: i haven't hardly ever added and/or removed ppa's. byt it looks like you're missing 'apt' in there somewhere? | 16:24 |
| greezmunkey | Irunongames: locate tork, should find it | 16:24 |
| r2pashto | t4m1n0_: I'm not familiar with ppa-purge ... whenever I want to remove a repository from my system (not necessarily the apps installed from that PPA), I go into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and remove the respective files (well, comment them out ... I dislike deleting until I'm sure I'll never need it again) | 16:24 |
| Daekdroom | onetinsoldier, it's not. | 16:25 |
| onetinsoldier | Daekdroom: ok, thanks | 16:25 |
| Irunongames | greezmunkey, it can't find it | 16:25 |
| blaha | been hacking all night… can't get apache to parse php index. Anyone know this one? | 16:25 |
| jud | r2pashto: hm, just having trouble getting into the directory elvin@elvin-desktop:~$ cd /home/elvin/desktop/iima bash: cd: /home/elvin/desktop/iima: No such file or directory? | 16:25 |
| compaq | tmas, oh, I thought you were installing on sda. Well, it will be tricky about grub, if you will install on mbr of sda, or otherwise use mac boot to pass to /boot on sdb | 16:25 |
| blaha | seems to have bugged a few people on google hits | 16:25 |
| r2pashto | tmas: you said the console was blank/black with a flashing cursor ... that tells me it never found the linux kernel itself and therefore the boot process isn't making it that far | 16:26 |
| tmas | ok | 16:26 |
| greezmunkey | Irunongames: what is tork, and how did you dl it? | 16:26 |
| _raven_ | . | 16:26 |
| r2pashto | tmas: ... which is consistent with the (paraphrased) statements "it is quirky in the firmware and I haven't been able to test it well" | 16:26 |
| Irunongames | greezmunkey, it's a annomity protector and I got it from the respertory | 16:26 |
| greezmunkey | Irunongames: try locate tor | 16:26 |
| t4m1n0_ | to find out what version I HVE INSTSALLED Of a package I have to type apt-cache search package? or is there a different version to figure out version of already installed package? | 16:26 |
| airtonix | !info tor | 16:26 |
| ubottu | Package tor does not exist in lucid | 16:26 |
| christopher | I'm actually trying to instigate something as well as find something (if it in fact fully doesn't exist). I'm motivated by an insane random bugs in scribus. 'Being forced to use wine-doors and InDesign. So i'm thinking "Why can't I figure out why all of my text just vanished when I set my paragraph indentation to more than .1 inches? And why do I have to feel guilty?". I think it's a hole in open source that needs to be filled. | 16:27 |
| christopher | 'just something to think about. | 16:27 |
| gps23 | jud: its Desktop | 16:27 |
| tmas | So there is no way to do it. | 16:27 |

| greezmunkey | airtonix: yeah, it's a KDE package I guess... | 16:27 |
| airtonix | greezmunkey, no. | 16:27 |
| tmas | *too | 16:27 |
| christopher | perhaps a "commons" marketplace? | 16:27 |
| repartitioner | hey guys, is Gparted and GNU Partition Editor the same program? | 16:27 |
| compaq | tmas, if you install on mbr of sda itshould work, but in future if you decide to unplug usb drive, you will still have grub, which is ok, it should boot mac, but not the unplugged usb of course | 16:28 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tork/ | 16:28 |
| t4m1n0_ | How can I found out version of installed package through CLI? | 16:28 |
| r2pashto | tmas: it may be possible using initrd images and such, but I'm certainly not a pro at that and I'm not even positive rEFIt supports that. (An initrd image loads enough drivers into memory -- without access to the actual root filesystem -- so that the kernel can get started and itself find the root drive that the boot manager couldn't.) | 16:28 |
| reya2276 | What would happen if I remove XUL runner 1.9.2? | 16:28 |
| compaq | tmas, its better if you can configure mac's boot loader to pass to /boot of sdb | 16:28 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: I shold clarify - for kde, but not a package :) | 16:28 |
| gps23 | t4m1n0_: try aptitude show <packagename> | 16:28 |
| barberan | how do I know if my system is running SSH daemon ? | 16:28 |
| reya2276 | This thing is causing my eclipse to malfunction | 16:28 |
| tmas | I must ask, how would I install grub ? | 16:28 |
| marvinavilez | do print drivers exist for kodak ESP-7? | 16:29 |
| christopher | I believe that scientific truth is universal and non-repeatable, but thier is "art" out there in the open source world. Someone should encourage it ^_^ | 16:29 |
| tmas | I only use one PC, so I'm not familiar with this stuff. | 16:29 |
| t4m1n0_ | gps23 u sure this shows the "installed" version or just the one that's in the repos? | 16:29 |
| airtonix | greezmunkey, ok a gui config for tor | 16:29 |
| christopher | there. 'said my peace. | 16:29 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: right! | 16:29 |
| compaq | tmas, when you install ubuntu, at the end of paritioning and copying files, it will install grub and ask, 'should I install on mbr" | 16:29 |
| r2pashto | tmas: I have not looked into it, but is it feasible to use grub instead of rEFIt? My quick 15-sec of surfing leads me to believe rEFIt won't do it for you. | 16:29 |
| tmas | Oh. It hasn't done that before. | 16:29 |
| greezmunkey | airtonix: you were correct | 16:29 |
| compaq | tmas, are you keeping mac os, is it working? | 16:29 |
| tmas | Yes. | 16:29 |
| onetinsoldier | i had to jump through a number of hoops and had to work at it for a good while, but i got an incredible app to compile last night. aweather with full radar(rsl) support!! i dare... no, i double dare, no... i double dare, anyone to get it compiled! haha, just kidding. i need to figure out how to get it packaged and put it on a ppa, it's awesome! | 16:30 |
| tmas | Because it's on a diffferent disk | 16:30 |
| ouyes | my virtual xp has no sound? | 16:30 |
| tmas | Mac OS X is on the internal disk | 16:30 |
| r2pashto | tmas: simplest way to start learning is to google "grub mac" and go from there ... you're not the first to do it :-) | 16:30 |
| === tyranos_ is now known as tyranos | ||
| gps23 | t4m1n0_: if you have installed a package without using apt system, then you should find if the package have a switch like -v, -version or --version | 16:30 |
| ouyes | how to have sound in my virtual xp? | 16:31 |
| r2pashto | tmas: I've been able to boot to a USB drive on a computer whose firmware didn't support it ... it took a little initrd magic (that I can't remember offhand and am not colocated with it anymore), but it was certainly feasible. | 16:31 |
| compaq | tmas, if you install on mbr of sda, you will lose your mac boot loader, look into configuring macs boot loader to pass onto another boot loader | 16:31 |
| vb67 | hey, my ubuntu desktop Hangs up and freeze everytime... (10.04 LTS) | 16:31 |
| vb67 | what's up? | 16:31 |
| t4m1n0_ | gps23 it does have --version.. but after I've removed ppa repository it has different number in it. That's why I'm asking how to find out version of INSTALLED package? | 16:31 |
| repartitioner | hey guys! I have two questions regarding (re)partitioning... | 16:31 |
| greezmunkey | the need to use something like tor just begs too many questions - besides the NSA can find you no matter what. | 16:31 |
| compaq | vb67, maybe its the video driver | 16:31 |
| r2pashto | t4m1n0_: "dpkg -l <pkgname>" gives you what it thinks is the installed version | 16:32 |
| vb67 | compaq: I've read a thread too, but it don't seems to be related to a video drivers, I tried with and without | 16:32 |
| repartitioner | 1st question is: are Gparted and Gnu Partition Editor the same program? (GNU partition editor pops up when typing gparted in software center) | 16:32 |
| tmas | Wait, I don't have MBR on sda. | 16:32 |
| t4m1n0_ | r2pashto thanx! | 16:32 |
| r2pashto | tmas: huh? | 16:33 |

| gopper | The transparency visual effect doesn't seem to work in ubuntu 10.04. Any ideas why? | 16:34 |
| r2pashto | tmas: yes ... and I agree with compaq in that they all have one. | 16:34 |
| siddhi | hi | 16:34 |
| tmas | If so, I don't have it. As I said, I have GUID instead. If it was MBR, my Mac wouldn't boot it :) | 16:34 |
| xangua | gopper: yes, install compiz setting manager and configure the plugin | 16:35 |
| r2pashto | tmas: ... they may just make it harder to know much about it. (I like Apple's stuff but their tactics are sometimes suspect *shrug*) | 16:35 |

| gps23 | vb67: i remembered my problem when you asked about your hang problem | 16:35 |
| compaq | tmas, mbr is hardware, it is a small section of the harddrive, at the very beginning dedicated to the partition table | 16:35 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I see, looks cool (if you're a farmer) :) | 16:36 |
| blaha | acicula how to install/enable? using webmin | 16:36 |
| t4m1n0_ | r2pashto: no worries | 16:36 |
| blaha | i already installed php5 package | 16:36 |
| acicula | !webmin | 16:36 |
| ubottu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 16:36 |
| Muzer | has pppd been changed between 9.04 and 10.04? | 16:36 |

| tmas | compaq: I think we may be thinking of different MBRs. Does it stand for Master Boot Record? | 16:36 |
| r2pashto | t4m1n0_: one nice thing about dpkg (or dpkg-query) is that you can include wildcards if you aren't sure (for instance: "dpkg -l 'nvidia*'" works as expected, though sometimes it's required to use single-quotes to make sure the shell doesn't expand it for you) | 16:36 |
| acicula | blaha, you may have to set the binding of .php files so they are rendered | 16:36 |
| Muzer | I'm using the exact same config files on both machines as I was before, but when I try to dial in to one from the other I get invalid username or password | 16:36 |
| acicula | !lamp | blaha id assume its covered here | 16:37 |
| ubottu | blaha id assume its covered here: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:37 |

| mdg2 | gps23: does it always happen with that keyboard or do you have another ps2 kb to try? | 16:41 |
| compaq | tmas, first test you appleloader, if it goes to usb and stop, then you are in luck, proceed to install on usb drive | 16:41 |
| gps23 | mdg2: i only have this keyboard, also as it doesn't happen everytime, i could borrow a KB to check on the spot | 16:42 |
| gps23 | mdg2: i mean couldn't* | 16:42 |
| mdg2 | gps23: I'm guessing its either the ps/2 port itself or the kb cord/plug | 16:43 |
| tmas | If I just install grub on the mbr of sdb, won't it boot? I've never gotten that option. I'm using 10.04 Ubuntu, standard. | 16:43 |
| gps23 | mdg2: may be, i thinking i will have to use XP for few days to test this :( | 16:44 |
| mdg2 | gps23: does the mouse allow you to click on the accessibility options on the login screen? | 16:44 |
| compaq | tmas, unless you make change in bios to boot usb(if you bios enables usb boots) | 16:44 |
| tmas | I don't have BIOS | 16:44 |
| gps23 | mdg2: mouse works, i didn't tried to click on accessibility button but clicked session button to shutdown system | 16:44 |
| compaq | tmas, when you boot your computer, the bios says where to look, cdrom, floppy, harddrisk | 16:44 |
| mdg2 | gps23: you can bring up an onscreen keyboard | 16:44 |
| gps23 | mdg2: if its called session button | 16:45 |
| compaq | tmas, of course you have bios | 16:45 |
| tmas | I honestly think Mac uses something else somehow | 16:45 |
| onetinsoldier | mac has efi bios | 16:45 |
| gps23 | mdg2: but then i will be stuck with gnome desktop without KB | 16:45 |
| tmas | No BIOS on mac. OpenFirmware instead. | 16:45 |
| compaq | People are wierd with mac computers, they think it is from outerspace, made from stone, one guy said to me, there are no moving parts in mac books | 16:46 |

| Muzer | ah, it's all working now | 16:46 |
| Muzer | I love dialup with its funny noises :P | 16:46 |
| mdg2 | gps23: you could trouble shoot if the keyboard is seen via a virtual terminal so you can see if you need to scrounge up another keyboard | 16:46 |
| remaxim | hi | 16:47 |
| compaq | tmas, you have to tell macs boot loader to goto to usb for boot, you just add the menu item i showed you, and then when you boot, you can scroll from booting mac, or booting to usb, and if you select usb, then the grub boot will come up and you can boot ubuntu. | 16:47 |

| jud | gps23: i had a txt file with emails 1 per line but when i paste them into the address field, it comes back that couldn't send because of format error. r2pashto gave me this if so, try "sed -e 's/$/,/g' < file1 > file2" and pasting from that second file instead. If that doesn't work, try "sed -e 's/$/;/g' < file1 > file2" instead. So i did that, with a new yahoo account, with less than 100 emails and it triggered the spam filter. any ideas? | 16:47 |

| remaxim | just installed ubuntu 10.04 and having some small problem: I can't make the gnome panels transparent | 16:48 |
| Guest6673 | I can't connect to internet from puppylinux even though I set up everything right. This is a widely known bug and I couldn't find a solution anywhere. I'm wondering if I copy the /etc/resolv.conf file and a few other needed configuration files to puppylinux, will I be able to connect? | 16:48 |
| compaq | remaxim, hehe, right click it and hit properties | 16:48 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: i could try to send it to you if your interested | 16:48 |
| remaxim | I can only make the free space of the panels transparent (by right-clicking on it, coloring it and adding transparency) | 16:48 |
| tmas | I can boot from usb, but it didn't ask to install grub. | 16:48 |
| Daekdroom | remaxim, some themes won't allow transparency | 16:49 |
| remaxim | compaq, yeah xD ... I guessed so :P | 16:49 |
| Guest6673 | I mean will it work If i copy the setting from one linux distro to another? (forget puppy) | 16:49 |
| Malabi | Ehm, I tried to boot Ubuntu 10.04 from the CD, but the screen just went all black and nothing happened. Does anyone know what might be the problem? | 16:49 |

| quilby | can someone please fix my 5 line bash script--- http://pastebin.com/fhbwvQbz | 16:49 |
| remaxim | Daekdroom, I tried some already ... how to find one that allows it? | 16:49 |
| compaq | remaxim, you know what, do you have desktop effects enabled? If so you should do apt-get install cairo-dock, you will love it, and you will forget about transparent | 16:49 |
| remaxim | or is there any way to fix that? | 16:49 |
| quilby | its not working..... | 16:49 |
| perhamlinux | hi, e17 is not in lucid's repositories. only e16 is. how can I install e17? | 16:49 |
| Daekdroom | remaxim, it shouldn't use a texture in the panel, otherwise it can't be made fully transparent | 16:49 |
| mdg2 | tmas: broken console? | 16:49 |
| bastidrazor | remaxim: cairo-dock can run without compiz and still be transparent.. cairo-dock -c | 16:50 |

| t4m1n0_ | I've added the ppa repository like this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates I've made an uppdate: sudo apt-get update. Now..

How can I do this? on this page there is xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.11.0 but how can I install it? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates I mean I've added the PPA repository as said before. Any idea | 16:50 |
| mdg2 | tmas: do you mean busybox? | 16:50 |
| Daekdroom | t4m1n0_, sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:50 |
| tmas | I don't think so... | 16:50 |
| t4m1n0_ | Daekdroom: I did too... | 16:50 |

| remaxim | Daekdroom, thanks ... are there any standard themes that should support it, as none of my standard theme allow the menu and other stuff to become transparent | 16:51 |
| t4m1n0_ | Daekdroom: it does look at the link | 16:51 |
| mdg2 | tmas: what were you trying to do? | 16:51 |

| tmas | rEFIt detects operating systems. It detected ubuntu. | 16:55 |

| tmas | mdg2: When? In rEFIt? | 16:56 |
| mdg2 | yes | 16:56 |

| t4m1n0_ | Does that mean I didn't add properly x-updates? | 17:02 |
| tmas | The apple bootloader is still there. | 17:02 |
| unop | geekyogi, what's the exact error message you receive? | 17:02 |
| jud | unop: thanks...on that learning curve. the reason i needed to do that was to change list details so that yahoo would recognise their format in the address field but when i put the newly formed ones in, it triggered the spam filter for some reason. the yahoo limit is 100 right, and it was less than that. you have any ideas why? | 17:02 |
| t4m1n0_ | argh and therefore I can't finds the right version of intel drivers? | 17:02 |
| tmas | I can use c to boot from cd and such. | 17:02 |
| reya2276 | Muzer: what would be the path to XULRunner (XULRunnerPath) | 17:03 |

| unop | jud, I'm not sure what to make of that -- are you talking about yahoo mail and the number of address you can place in the "To", "CC" and "BCC" fields? | 17:03 |
| cjdevlin | geekyogi: right click on file, properties, permissions, there is a checkbox to allow you to execute file | 17:03 |

| tmas | I'm gonna try to make a boot cd now. | 17:04 |
| Muzer | reya2276: I would guess /usr/lib/xulrunner-version - where version is the version you've got (1.9.2.3 for me) | 17:04 |
| geekyogi | i've also marked it executable by using chmod 777 filename.. | 17:04 |
| Muzer | I'm not quite sure why it's not found it automatically though | 17:04 |
| compaq | tmas, I think you should remove eRIT and instead add usb boot option to the apple boot loader | 17:05 |
| hellz_bellz | it would be safer to mark it chmod +x | 17:05 |
| reya2276 | Muzer: How come there are 3 directories with xulrunner in /usr/lib? | 17:05 |
| tmas | how would I do that? | 17:05 |

| greezmunkey | *dumb* *---* *alert* | 17:45 |
| Gnewt | pvl1: Because I want access to the LTS version. I don't feel like it matters why I want to upgrade. | 17:45 |
| twosheds | pvl1: That's what is says next to the adobe-flashplugin package on synaptic | 17:45 |

| pvl1 | Gnewt, i was jw, iddnt mean anything by it, but that is a legit reason to upgrade. gimme a sec in that case | 17:46 |
| twosheds | pvl1: BTW, it's not choppy on all of them, but on youtube for example it is | 17:46 |
| bastidrazor | Ency: #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org is where you can get mint support | 17:46 |
| Gnewt | pvl1: I may just switch to Debian seeing as this is a production server. | 17:46 |
| twosheds | pvl1: Some streaming stuff works just fine in full screen, although it does respond a bit slow, but plays fine | 17:46 |
| notcam | yea | 17:46 |
| Ency | lets frame this another way.... I want as many codecs as possible / want all my videos to work.... other than medibuntu repository what can I download? | 17:46 |
| Gnewt | pvl1: Seems to be working after I killed console-kit | 17:47 |
| bastidrazor | Ency: ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:47 |
| cjdevlin | ency: download vlc - it handles pretty much everything you can throw at it | 17:47 |
| BitEncrypt | VLC? | 17:47 |

| pvl1 | Gnewt, well yeah, if u free up -resources it should work. did u mean that u have 77mb total or 77 free | 17:47 |
| jurgster | hello all | 17:47 |
| cjdevlin | ency: vls is in the repositories | 17:47 |
| bastidrazor | Ency: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 17:48 |

| Ency | cjdevlin, bitEncrypt: I have VLC.... it still needs the codecs to run .... I run ubuntu Ultimate Edition ... I will try this restricted extras | 17:48 |

| jurgster | # one/anyone | 17:49 |
| greezmunkey | madjoe: I've worked through that, it works - good luck! :) | 17:49 |
| pvl1 | Gnewt, ooh well 360, yeah if u just kill some apps and services i think you should be able to do an upgrade without issues. do u have swap space enabled? | 17:49 |

| pvl1 | twosheds, try any (or all) of the flashplugin packages | 17:50 |
| twosheds | pvl1: "try" as in what, upgrade them? | 17:50 |
| tmas | ubottu: Wait, ur a bot? | 17:50 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:50 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: it looks like I have restricted extras installed already.... I have no idea which codecs I want... I wjust want them all.... this is where linux fails for me.. i wanted it to just 'work' :( | 17:50 |
| pvl1 | jose, have u checked the logs | 17:50 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, nay, uninstall adobe-flash and install the one i said previous | 17:50 |
| twosheds | pvl1: OK | 17:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: ffmepg might solve your problem | 17:51 |
| greezmunkey | madjoe: once you get that working locally you can do your port forward. Here's a good command to find what port your programs are listening on: netstat -an -tcp -udp | grep "LISTEN" (scrolling output, gives process and pid, may need sudo) -or- netstat -antu | grep "LISTEN" (consise list) | 17:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: install ffmpeg and winff | 17:51 |
| Gnewt | pvl1: Yep I do. It's working now :). | 17:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: and you might want to look at that link i gave you above | 17:51 |
| pvl1 | Gnewt, congrats! | 17:52 |
| bastidrazor | greezmunkey: yes, netstat will need sudo to see the PID's and processs | 17:52 |
| Ency | looking at it now | 17:52 |
| madjoe | greezmunkey: awesome! | 17:52 |
| greezmunkey | bastidrazor: I'll update that in my scratch file, thanks - it did need to be clarified :) | 17:53 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: it disappoints me that I *have* to use command line... I'm not shy to use it but can I not use synaptic or something else with a GUI | 17:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: that link is, in case you want the bleeding edge ffmpeg. you can just install the stock lucid version from the repositories too, but it's older | 17:53 |
| bastidrazor | greezmunkey: netstat -napt .. the P syntax .. will show PID/Processes | 17:53 |
| jose | pvl1: um, don't know what that means. I tried looking it up and tried the sudo s2disk/s2ram thing, this happens:This machine can be identified by: | 17:53 |
| jose | sys_vendor = "Gateway " | 17:53 |
| jose | sys_product = "MD7818U " | 17:53 |
| jose | sys_version = "Rev 1 " | 17:53 |
| jose | bios_version = "99.06 " | 17:53 |
| FloodBot1 | jose: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:53 |
| jose | See http://suspend.sf.net/s2ram-support.html for details. | 17:53 |
| Mene-Mene | I can't seem to find Opera in the repositories. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. | 17:53 |
| greezmunkey | bastidrazor: how's this: netstat -an -tcp -udp | grep "LISTEN" (scrolling output, use sudo to see process and pid) | 17:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: that's where 'winff' comes in. you can compile the lastest bleeding edge of ffmpeg and x.264 at that link.. then use 'winff' as gui front-end | 17:54 |
| bastidrazor | greezmunkey: that will do it. | 17:54 |

| pvl1 | raven, add it to ur /etc/fstab | 17:55 |
| pvl1 | !fstab | 17:55 |
| ubottu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 17:55 |

| Ency | onetinsoldier: I'm used to simply installing a codec pack or two on windows machines that contain everything.... not like that with linux? | 17:56 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: roger. if you're not familair with installing software from source, just use the Lucid stock ffmpeg and x.264 | 17:56 |
| pvl1 | !fstab | raven | 17:56 |

| onetinsoldier | Ency: it's older though, that's all | 17:56 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: just install 'winff' right now and check it out | 17:57 |
| twosheds | pvl1: OK, I uninstalled adobe-flashp[lugin and installed flashplugin-installer. Unfortunately, it didn't help. Youtube runs uber choppy in full screen, and makes it nearly impossible to leave full screen, as it effectively freezes the browser (which is firefox, if I didn't say so before) | 17:57 |
| greezmunkey | mneptok: I read that article regarding css - I did not know about that. Thanks. | 17:57 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, have u tried to DISABLE hardware acceleration in the flash settings | 17:57 |
| aeon-ltd | twosheds: what gpu btw? | 17:58 |
| twosheds | pvl1: And.. How do I do that (excuse my silly questions, I'm new to linux)? | 17:58 |
| twosheds | aether: GeForce 7300 | 17:58 |
| aeon-ltd | twosheds: right click on the flash video | 17:58 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: sorry if I missed something... how do I install winff?? its not in synaptic and the link you sent seems to only talk about ffmpeg | 17:58 |
| aether | I'm sorry? | 17:58 |

| pvl1 | twosheds, i had the same problem, glad to know u got it running | 17:59 |
| aeon-ltd | shiba_: unr seems a bit crap don't you think?, compared to just using regular ubuntu but stripped down little | 17:59 |
| AnxiousNut | how can i update my openoffice fonts list? | 17:59 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: hmmm, it should be in synaptic i think. anyway, i know command line way to install it. i use the command line a lot. at command line, you can check it apt sees it with... apt-cache show winff | 18:00 |
| twosheds | pvl1: OK, so maybe we can use the momentum and solve a much more difficult problem. | 18:00 |
| twosheds | pvl1: (Unrelated to that one). | 18:00 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: but i suppose that won't work if you don't see it in synaptic, but try it | 18:00 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: thats another thing. With my distro I have three terminals. Well two called terminal and one called terminator.... anything I should know about the difference? | 18:01 |
| pepie34 | Hi how is it possible to add applet to the ubuntu netbook remix bar ? (namely lock-key-applet for eeepc) | 18:01 |
| klawd | has one of you managed to replace the new ugly purple icons with the humanity brownish ones? | 18:01 |
| SwedeMike | klawd: change the theme. | 18:01 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: not really. i wouldn't worry about the differences between terminals too much right now. there's a lot of different terminals for linux you can choose from | 18:02 |
| twosheds | pvl1: I have a webcam, it's a Creative VF3300 Vista. It refuses to work with Skype and anything else. Just to jump ahead, I tried installing the manual stuff on the net, but it won't compile, and I'm afraid it's because my ubuntu's too new for it. Is there any chance there's another way, or do I just have to wait until someone writes one for this Ubuntu's kernel? | 18:02 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: couldnt find package | 18:02 |
| viesturs | hi everybody - does somebody have a script to connect wifi over CLI | 18:03 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: i had to do sudo apt-get install winff and it read and did dependecies but ends with couldnt find package | 18:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: ok, you must not have some repository enabled on your system that i do here on mine | 18:03 |
| aeon-ltd | viesturs: look up iwconfig | 18:03 |
| viesturs | i now what is iwconfig | 18:03 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: :( :( sucks | 18:03 |
| viesturs | the problem is with WPA | 18:03 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: hmmm, that sounds a little strange | 18:03 |
| raven | grub edit - how to boot windows automatically instead of ubuntu? | 18:03 |
| aeon-ltd | viesturs: if you like cli, theres a ncurses version of wicd | 18:04 |
| klawd | SwedeMike: that doesn't change the icons | 18:04 |
| viesturs | i mean, with wpa_suplicant | 18:04 |
| badnaam | Can someone help me with a flash player issue. It's flash version 10.5.4 at espn3 and I am on Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 18:04 |
| greezmunkey | raven: make your win partition the default (on timeout) | 18:04 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, how r u so assured that ur systems too new. what errors do u get in compiling | 18:04 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: hang on a minute.. ok? | 18:04 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: i know I broke my sources.list .... I replaced it with contents I saw on the internet because I was trying to get kismet to work at some point when I was trying to borrow some internet from my neighbour (I never got it to work and now have my own) | 18:04 |
| raven | greezmunkey, how? | 18:04 |
| Ency | sure :) | 18:04 |
| badnaam | The full screen doesn't work, is it only me or others are having the same issue too? | 18:04 |
| guntbert | !u | pvl1 | 18:04 |
| ubottu | pvl1: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'.

| void__ | Ubuntu uses the wrong proxy. How can I change that for Synaptic? | 18:04 |
| SwedeMike | klawd: mk, my icons aren't purple anyway. | 18:04 |
| viesturs | is there way how to connect to WPA wifi by using wpa_cli ? | 18:05 |
| void__ | I already changed it in the configuration for Synaptic, but it still uses the wrong configuration. | 18:05 |
| aeon-ltd | badnaam: what DE/WM you using? | 18:05 |
| twosheds | pvl1: Like code stuff, like it won't compile this line or the other, and it's a whole string of them. I followed the directions to the letter, and it won't compile whatsoever. This webcam is known to have problems with ubuntu, but this driver's supposed to fix it. Nonetheless, it seems like it won't compile. | 18:05 |
| guntbert | void__: that seems one of the cases where it helps to logout/login (or eveven restart the system) - no idea why it is so | 18:06 |
| greezmunkey | raven: I have just started learning grub, if you /msg ubottu grub, it will pm you a link to the wiki - best source of info available. | 18:06 |
| badnaam | sorry I am nood, what is DE/WM? | 18:06 |
| twosheds | pvl1: Is there like a website/forum that specializes on this stuff, like OpenPrinting? | 18:06 |
| rabbit1 | how to play online games? | 18:06 |
| aeon-ltd | badnaam: is desktop environment like gnome(in stock ubuntu) window manager like openbox | 18:07 |
| guntbert | badnaam: desktop environment / window manager | 18:07 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: you 'will' need to get your sources.list problem sorted out and fixed. anyway, go here --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/winff ...at the very bottom of the page on the left, download the .deb package | 18:07 |

| rabbit1 | problem with flash player and shockwave player | 18:07 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, sorta. first off, how recent is ur webcam. secondly what kind of errors do u get. do u have any expereince with programming? | 18:07 |
| tasty | investigating | 18:07 |
| rabbit1 | RandomTime: online games.... | 18:07 |
| badnaam | oh yes, it's gnome, the standard that came with 9.1 installation | 18:07 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: that helps, thanks | 18:07 |
| badnaam | and of course, I am using firefox x64 | 18:07 |

| c00lF00L | is there any way to update my sprint hero in linux to the 2.1 version i tried it in vbox but dont seam to work! | 18:08 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: have you installed flash (go to install software in the applications menu and search for flash) | 18:09 |
| ikonia | c00lF00L: no, there is no native linux support | 18:09 |
| rabbit1 | RandomTime: i have 8.10 ubuntu with firefox 3.6 | 18:09 |
| aeon-ltd | badnaam: do you have compiz manager/ccsm? | 18:09 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: ubuntu doesn't come with flash by default, unless you install it | 18:09 |
| twosheds | pvl1: It's rather new, I bought it less than a year ago, and it worked perfect with Windows. I do have experience with programming, and the errors I saw were compilation errors that could either come from bad code (not the case, since people found that driver useful), or some kind of mismatch (expecting something from the kernel and not getting it) | 18:09 |
| c00lF00L | hum that sux phone powered by linux and cant update it from linux? | 18:09 |
| badnaam | no but I can install it i guess | 18:09 |
| rabbit1 | RandomTime: its installed in synaptic manager | 18:10 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: have you ever tried 'vlc'? | 18:10 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: do you have a link for me for the one before lucid? I think my UE version doesnt support lucid... I havent upgraded yet | 18:10 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: ok, can you do anything else in flash, or does flash not work at all? | 18:10 |
| aeon-ltd | badnaam: in appearances settings can you see a tab for effects? try turning it off and trying the video | 18:10 |
| badnaam | no, it seems like compiz is already installed, how do I start it? | 18:10 |
| viesturs | question - for WIFI connection from CLI i jhave to use logical interface name or physical (udev)? | 18:10 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: i.e. youtube videos, etc | 18:10 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: yes I have VLC | 18:10 |
| viesturs | i supouse that physical | 18:10 |
| void__ | One other thing: why is the new virtual console so incredibly slow in Lucid? | 18:10 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, r u sure u met all the dependencies | 18:10 |
| mr_danie1 | when I watch a video on youtube, or when I download a file, my ping is very high, up to 1000ms. I use a wireless router which connects my ubuntu machine and a windows 7 machine. Even worse: when I watch a video, the ping of every wireless client is very high | 18:10 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: it plays the sound of the video but no picture... just like an effect | 18:10 |
| aeon-ltd | void__: bash or zsh? | 18:11 |
| rabbit1 | RandomTime: i am getting a .deb file from adobe | 18:11 |
| mr_danie1 | on the other hand: when the windows 7 achien streams a youtube vidoe on downloaded a file, everything is fine, no high ping; so I guess my ubuntu machine is misvonfigured? | 18:11 |

| void__ | aeon-ltd: uhm, it is the display that is slow. | 18:11 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: that has nothign to do with the thing generating the output. | 18:11 |
| mr_danie1 | what can I do to solve the problem? | 18:11 |
| twosheds | pvl1: Well, this thing was not installed via the package manager, it's like a manual thing, you're supposed to get it, then compile it bla bla. And I followed their instructions from the beginning, so.. I don't know. | 18:11 |
| sidney | Does the ubuntu server have a GUI? | 18:11 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: or at least, it should not. | 18:11 |
| RandomTime | rabbit1: A clean install or updated version might fix it, yes, hoever the package manager has that. Check that flash is installed for firefox (tools, adons, plugins) - it might have been isntalled on your system, but the flash plugin wasn't | 18:12 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: roger. i had the same problem with a .mov file made in like, the year 2001. i had to use winff/ffmpeg to play it --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/winff | 18:12 |
| guntbert | sidney: not by default | 18:12 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: if that is the bottle neck I don't think Ubuntu can be saved, so it is very unlikely that that is the case. | 18:12 |
| twosheds | pvl1: This seems kind of silly, since I don't have the output right here with me. I just want to know if this webcam is even supposed to work with unbuntu 10.4 | 18:12 |
| ikonia | sidney: you can install gnome/kde/xfce etc, the same as any ubuntu, but no server speific gui | 18:12 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: but I use bash. | 18:12 |
| aeon-ltd | void__: of you mean when changing from VTs (e.g ctrl-alt-F number) | 18:12 |
| Ency | onetinsoldier: I've had problems getting VMwareplayer to install correctly, I couldnt figure out how to install virtualbox as that wasnt in synaptic, and ive had this codec problem | 18:12 |
| Ency | karmic ... yes thats what I need | 18:12 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: the actual changing is faster than before. | 18:12 |
| aeon-ltd | void__: it could be kms related, if thats what you mean | 18:12 |
| pvl1 | twosheds, sdoesnt mean it doesnt have dependencies. | 18:12 |
| xs2ubuntu | hello | 18:12 |
| aeon-ltd | void__: are you on intel gpu? | 18:12 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: it is the output display. | 18:13 |
| onetinsoldier | Ency: roger. i can't solve the worlds problems ;-) | 18:13 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: no, nvidia. | 18:13 |

| pvl1 | twosheds, can u private message me | 18:13 |
| void__ | void__: I use the binary drivers, because nouveau was even worse. | 18:13 |
| twosheds | pvl1: Yeah, but I expected whatever instructions were there to make sure I have whatever's necessary | 18:13 |

| onetinsoldier | Ency: Linux is awesome, i love it! you just have to take the time to learn it. you will if you stick with it | 18:15 |
| void__ | aeon-ltd: I think it is slow, because the console used to be basically the hardware console (vga), and now the rendering of the letters is being done in some C library with the help of the GPU. | 18:15 |

| ikonia | Kaa: the gnome desktop resolution tool is normally useful | 18:16 |

| rocket16 | badnaam: Sure, try Miro TV, and VLC | 18:34 |

| yosi1234 | phlak: I learned webmina nd love it, I wanted a GUI yyesterday, but may have changed my mind... does Webmin take less resources than running a GUI on a server? | 18:34 |
| yosi1234 | webmin | 18:34 |
| phlak_user | E_E: not that I know of; maybe on undernet | 18:34 |

| rocket16 | badnaam: :) | 18:34 |
| badnaam | oh, what's teh best way to fish the url out of the flash player? | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Aquajag: use a wired connection to get fully updated. It may help | 18:35 |
| E_E | phlak_user: ok Ill try that thx | 18:35 |
| phlak_user | yosi1234: yes of course it only uses apache | 18:35 |
| linux-k | ubuntu-es | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | !webmin | yosi1234 | 18:35 |
| ubottu | yosi1234: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 18:35 |

| oCean_ | linux-k: "/join #ubuntu-es" | 18:35 |
| Aquajag | ActionParsnip, I did just the other day, i have very little access to wired connection. Updated, that's how I got the current driver going. It went from saying "disconnected" to "wireless is disabled." I think now the problem is the hardware switch, but it has never worked in Ubuntu | 18:36 |

| madjoe | greezmunkey: I can't install lokkit as suggested in the documentation.. do you know why? I can't find gnome-lokkit in my Synaptic | 18:37 |
| phlak_user | ssquirrel: firewall logs generally go into /var/log/messages unless youve configured differently | 18:37 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, yep. that's what i'm trying to figure out | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitencrypt: log out, choose gnome, log in | 18:38 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, maybe i should just fresh install | 18:38 |
| BitEncrypt | ive done that | 18:38 |
| ssquirrel | phlak_user: thank you ... | 18:38 |
| bondiblueos9 | theadmin: I mean, I want a file that isn't actually a file but acts like the output of cat would, had I written that output to file | 18:38 |
| BitEncrypt | its before that screen | 18:38 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, i guess the only thing importand for me to back-up is my virtualbox machine | 18:38 |
| phlak_user | bondiblueos9: thats called the stdout | 18:38 |
| BitEncrypt | that it says kubuntu | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Bitencrypt: you will need to click your username first, the desktop selection is at the bottom | 18:38 |
| phlak_user | BitEncrypt: that means you installed kubuntu | 18:38 |
| Aquajag | ActionParsnip: sudo iwlist scan says "Interface doesn't support scanning" for lo, eth0, vboxnet0. For wlan0 is adds "network is down" | 18:38 |
| theadmin | bondiblueos9: Err. So you want an output of cat somewhere in command line? Use $(cat somefile) | 18:39 |

| Guest4233 | hi, | 18:40 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, i dunno in exact seconds | 18:40 |
| aeon-ltd | godricbrutus: but long enough to be a problem | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Aquajag: are you using ubuntu in a virtualbox? | 18:40 |
| Guest4233 | any professional knows ehcp, I have a issue needs help | 18:40 |
| madjoe | greezmunkey: oh, I can only test it on my laptop... I made a self-reference connection.. weird, I know. :) | 18:40 |
| Aquajag | ActionParsnip: I have been unsuccessful in finding guides for my model. Everything has been for slightly diff version of Broadcom, nothing for my laptop. I'm somewhat new so i don't know how to rmmod or modprobe as you suggested | 18:40 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, but i'm having an issue with virtualbox as well that i can't seem to figure out, which is why i feel like fresh installing. yes, enough lag to be a problem | 18:41 |
| Aquajag | ActionParsnip: no, using ubuntu LTS as the only OS. I am currently using a separate laptop, also using ubuntu LTS, to communicate online | 18:41 |
| aeon-ltd | godricbrutus: you could try changing from gnome to something lighter like maybe just compiz standalone with a panel like tint2, whats the problem with virtual box? | 18:41 |

| greezmunkey | madjoe: I'll lab that here, give me about ten minutes to get set up. | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Aquajag: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will be able to see the name of the driver. You can then run; sudo rmmod name;sleep 5; sudo modprobe name ,replace name with the actual name in the output | 18:42 |

I know I can cat noname1.bin.001 noname1.bin.002 noname1.bin.003 > noname1.bin and then bchunk noname1.bin noname1.cue noname to make the iso, but I want to avoid creating the intermediate file of noname1.bin | 18:43 |
| rhonny | still no clue in running amarok | 18:43 |

| InvaderZim | ActionParsnip: yes, fully | 18:44 |
| phlak_user | bondiblueos9: would it cause any problems if you create the temp file? you could always delete it later | 18:44 |
| rhonny | i'm on ubuntu 9.10 | 18:44 |
| godricbrutus | aeon-ltd, wow, that was about 40 seconds that i counted, from grub to the panel and background | 18:44 |
| ActionParsnip | Rhonny: amarok doesn't use gnome style sound stuffs which is why the metapackages are different. I suggest you install it | 18:44 |
| quidnunc | Why is "touch /tmp/foo" complaining about the drive being read-only but "mount" says that it is rw? | 18:44 |

| imgarysmith | can anybody help me with the cairo-dock? | 18:45 |
| bondiblueos9 | phlak_user: just that the files are large and it takes extra time and hard-drive space; I thought maybe since the temp file is really just the three files end to end there would be a fancy way to do it | 18:45 |
| InvaderZim | ActionParsnip: no haven't seen it and I havent filed it yet | 18:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Quidnunc: does it work if you use sudo? | 18:45 |
| quidnunc | ActionParsnip: No | 18:45 |

| madjoe | greezmunkey: since Karmic has ufw as a default firewall and I can't find lokkit, I guess I should just run "sudo ufw allow 22" from my console | 18:45 |

| Aquajag | ActionParsnip: network:0 ..... configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=64. so instead of "name" i should put "b43-pci=bridge"? | 18:47 |
| sebsebseb | valentino_tuga: :) | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Aquajag: it's b43-pci-bridge for the driver name then | 18:48 |
| greezmunkey | madjoe: you may want to consider selecting a "nonstandard" port for ssh - I know it's not much security wise, but why make it any easier, right. | 18:48 |

| TheGrammarFreak | How can I improve the battery life of ubuntu? I'm using Lucid | 18:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Etc | 18:49 |
| rgoytacaz | and theres no sun-java listed in the synaptic | 18:49 |

| pietr | TheGrammarFreak: so no problems? | 18:51 |
| architeuthis | wubi worked for me | 18:51 |
| ikonia | pietr: it's a closed source file system with not %100 stable reverse engineering | 18:51 |
| TheGrammarFreak | peitr, I can get ot my Windows 7 partition fine, nothings broken. I would never use it as the home directory of linux or anything | 18:52 |

| Black_Phantom | If I convert a file to .wav will it affect the quality of the sound ? | 18:53 |
| pietr | TheGrammarFreak: the thing is that I have approx 4TB on those disks, and I have nowhere to move it and convert the fs. so I think I'm stuck with ntfs | 18:53 |
| Black_Phantom | or not necessarily ? | 18:53 |
| TheGrammarFreak | Depends on sampling rate and bit depth Black_Phantom | 18:53 |
| ikonia | pietr: then use wubi | 18:54 |

| enzotib | !resetpanel | badcloud | 18:54 |
| TheGrammarFreak | peitr, I don't think an ubuntu installer will even let you use ntfs as a home drive. | 18:54 |
| ubottu | badcloud: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 18:54 |
| new2irc | hello everyone. I have been reading some manpages and notices they refer to some commands as command(number), for instance less(1). Does anyone know what the number in the parentheises represents? | 18:54 |
| TheGrammarFreak | Black_Phantom, if you can;t hear a difference then it's fine. | 18:55 |
| ikonia | new2irc: man pages have multiple pages for each command | 18:55 |
| BitEncrypt | is there a way to delete kubuntu without deleting ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 18:55 |
| TheGrammarFreak | Mathematically something will be lost, but that's life, Black_Phantom | 18:55 |
| phlak_user | BitEncrypt: just install gnome | 18:55 |
| pietr | TheGrammarFreak: i don't need it as home drive. I have a 80GB disk just for linux and my personal data are on 2 separate disks, both with ntfs | 18:55 |
| BitEncrypt | from the software center' | 18:56 |
| Docolero | new2irc, try 'man man' | 18:56 |
| new2irc | ikonia: ok, so I assume it counts how many pages cover a specific command? So that's why I have been seeing man [number] command? | 18:56 |
| TheGrammarFreak | peitr, so install linux to that drive. The read/write stuff in linux for ntfs have been fine for me. Backups of really important data might be an idea. But I'd recommend that anyway :D | 18:57 |
| pietr | TheGrammarFreak: so what kind of linux well supported filesystem do you recommend for safely storing huge amounts of data? | 18:57 |
| madjoe | greezmunkey: ok, I opened one port for SSH by using this tool: http://cirt.net/ports It's a neat page! | 18:57 |
| TheGrammarFreak | peitr, I don;t actually know, sorry. I use EXT4, but I have no more than 640 GB of data, most of which is on ntfs anyway | 18:58 |
| LjL | Black_Phantom: WAV is a lossless format, so generally speaking you won't lose quality if you convert stuff to it... only when converting to lossy formats you do | 18:58 |

| noren | is memory leak a common prob ?? then i will go back to karmic again !! | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue_anna: use localepurge. You can select the language you need and save space | 19:11 |
| onetinsoldier | TheGrammarFreak: do you have any ppa's added or have you added anything to your software sources allowing you to get packages other than stock lucid packages? | 19:11 |

| Ubuntu | Ubuntu: Actually, running off a flash drive. Once I figure out how to tweak everything the way I like it, I can install over my previous OS. | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ulinux: then use alacarte, its part of a standard install | 19:14 |
| undecim | FoolishOwl: Let me look at the ssh manual for minute. I think I know what to do. | 19:14 |

| ActionParsnip | raven: you can use ctrl+alt+backspace if you re-enable it in the keyboard settings | 19:16 |
| noren | raven: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 19:16 |
| jooce | hola | 19:16 |
| undecim | FoolishOwl: I think the -A is the same as having "ForwardAgent yes" in the config file, but I don't know about the -t option. | 19:16 |
| uLinux | or I could the easy way but boring way: double click the file | 19:16 |
| FoolishOwl | undecim, thanks. I just found there's #openssh, so I asked there, too. | 19:16 |
| blue_anna | ActionParsnip: is there a *better* way to do it than localepurge? localepurge doesnt detect which locales I have installed, and simply gives me a list of all possible locales to select from | 19:16 |
| Rave1 | free | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue_anna: that's all I got, the app should remove the ones you don't need afaik | 19:17 |
| raven | rhythmbox imports 0/xxxxxxx - what is going wrong there? | 19:17 |

| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 19:17 |
| blue_anna | ActionParsnip: I bet it would :P but it's going to take me an hur to scroll to the p's :P | 19:17 |
| blue_anna | *hour | 19:17 |
| undecim | FoolishOwl: There is also another simple way to do this that I can think of... I can't see a config file equivalent to the -t option, but you could set up a bash alias for ssh instead of messing with the config file. | 19:17 |
| noren | friedturtl3: i am getting a memory leak and cant trace it to the exact application in lucid, it was running good at 80 mb but in lucid its almost to 200 mb seeing htop the memory usage differs with differrent boot | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Blue_anna: I'll believe that. There is a lot of fluff in a default ubuntu install | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Noren: are you fully updated? | 19:18 |
| FoolishOwl | undecim, yeah, the command I typed in was abstracted from the commands I've got in .bash_aliases. | 19:18 |
| noren | ActionParsnip: yes i am | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Noren: could try the 2.6.33 kernel at your own risk | 19:18 |
| FoolishOwl | One reason I'd like to do it through .ssh/config is that then I might be able to use sshfs, for instance. | 19:18 |

| noren | Ubuntu: yes i do | 19:19 |
| undecim | FoolishOwl: Well, I know that the -A option is equivilent to "ForwardAgent yes" in the config, but I don't see any equivilent to -t. | 19:19 |
| undecim | FoolishOwl: Also, sshfs or any other ssh based program should accept ssh options. | 19:20 |

| eye-zak | Synnyster, it is in gconf, use gconf-editor in gui | 19:22 |

| ActionParsnip | Rhonny: it may obey the http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables | 19:22 |

| onetinsoldier | chazco: you might try 'winff' | 19:34 |
| eye-zak | chazco, afaik .. in that situation totem outputs stereo, and pulse tries to upconvert... i'm not sure where your issue is but my bet is pulseaudio | 19:34 |
| chazco | eye-zak - They're usually set to the same... e.g. the totem and system set to 5.1... if i change the system to only stereo it will play ok... i can then re-enable 5.1 and it will continue to play until i restart totem... | 19:35 |

| FoolishOwl | KrazyKriv, basically, it won't work. Microsoft doesn't follow the rules on UPnP, so nothing that isn't Microsoft will work with it. | 19:35 |
| eye-zak | chazco, yeah ... changing the prefs mid-way will only change newly opened streams, explaining that part at least | 19:36 |

| Toaday | like "make" | 19:37 |
| KrazyKriv|AWAY | FoolishOwl: i have used a great streamer/transcriber that worked on Windows | 19:37 |
| eye-zak | KrazyKriv|AWAY, have u tried mediatomb .. i know they have specific ps3 and xbox hacks for the protocol | 19:38 |
| Loshki | Toaday: the usual workaround for that is to put the mount commands in a script which sleeps for a while before it issues the mount commands, and call this script IN THE BACKGROUND from /etc/rc.local | 19:38 |
| Toaday | Hrm | 19:38 |
| Toaday | ok, I'll try that, thanks Loshki | 19:38 |

| Loshki | Toaday: I have to go, but hopefully people here can help you with the details... | 19:38 |

| aeon-ltd | hi | 19:40 |
| Toaday | So, anyone think they can help with my RAID issue? | 19:41 |
| Toaday | I can't get my MD devices to assemble before fstab is processed. Anyone know how to make that happen? | 19:41 |
| onetinsoldier | raffaele: i don't show 'python-gtkhtml2' as being available either with an apt-cache search on it | 19:41 |
| Loshki | raffaele: interesting, seems to be missing from lucid: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-gtkhtml2&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all. If you're brave, you could try the karmic version. And/or report it as a bug... | 19:42 |

| w3bcrawler | is there a particular folder where configuration files are typically stored? | 19:44 |
| jean-pierresainf | ok a question completely out of context | 19:44 |
| jean-pierresainf | is this is ok | 19:44 |
| kermit | Toaday: as i'm using an md device for root, i pass arguments to the kernel at boot.. though if you arent there might be a better way. | 19:44 |
| Loshki | raffaele: try one of the ways here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs | 19:44 |
| Toaday | Loshki, I added mdadm --assemble --scan to my rc.local and ubuntu still complained on boot, as I would like my fstab handle the mounting of the array | 19:44 |
| jean-pierresainf | anyone familiar with vmware fusion on mac | 19:44 |
| guntbert | jean-pierresainf: that is off-topic here | 19:44 |
| Toaday | And I'm pretty sure mdadm.conf is setup properly | 19:44 |
| blue_anna | PeterOyore: or do you mean to use the actual yahoo binary? you'd do well to go to yahoo and see if it is downloadable :P | 19:45 |
| PeterOyore | blue_anna Empathy on Ubuntu already? | 19:45 |
| jean-pierresainf | I know | 19:45 |
| blue_anna | PeterOyore: yup, should work out of the box | 19:45 |
| Konfused | Has anyone tried to install Lucid on a Sony VAio PGC-TR1A? It has an Intel 855GM graphics adapter and I can't seem to get the intel driver to work. | 19:45 |
| jean-pierresainf | just asking a pointer to another room | 19:45 |
| PeterOyore | Thanks blue_anna | 19:45 |
| Loshki | Toaday: what do you have in fstab for mounting the device(s)? | 19:45 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, see lucid release notes .. there are issues with intel graphics maybe | 19:45 |
| Konfused | I looked at the release notes, and the wiki, and the rest of the documentation, including the docs from Xorg and still no joy. | 19:46 |
| Cosmo` | hi chaps, is there an option i can put in fstab so when a file systems device is not present it doesn't stop the system from booting? | 19:46 |
| Toaday | Loshki, /dev/md0 /media/Public ext4 errors=remount-ro,nosuid,uhelper=udisks,nodev 0 0 | 19:46 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, can u use X at all ? | 19:47 |
| Konfused | I also did a far amount of Googling. | 19:47 |
| Konfused | Yes, with the vesa driver. | 19:47 |
| Loshki | Toaday: does the mount work when you issue 'sudo mount -a' after the box has booted? | 19:47 |
| jean-pierresainf | ok | 19:47 |
| Toaday | Yes, as long as the array is assembled | 19:47 |
| guntbert | jean-pierresainf: try /msg alis list *vmware* | 19:47 |
| jean-pierresainf | thank you | 19:47 |
| jean-pierresainf | I will | 19:47 |
| Alan | Does anybody know how i can force using the mesa software renderer for a particular application when my usual driver is the proprietary ATI driver? for some reason LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE are being ignored (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE works on my intel-chipset laptop) | 19:47 |
| uLinux | Toaday the file is an .usr | 19:47 |
| Konfused | If I take a bare bones xorg.conf that works with the vesa driver and substitute intel for vesa, the system hangs. | 19:47 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, hmm haven't had that specific hardware ... not sure if u've tried UXA workaround | 19:47 |
| uLinux | how can I make a shortcut for it | 19:47 |
| Konfused | It isn't just X that fails, the whole system hangs. | 19:48 |
| Toaday | uLinux, Is it a binary file? | 19:48 |
| Loshki | Toaday: how long does it take for the array to assemble? | 19:48 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, the xvesa config will probably not work, have u tried changing the acceleration (UXA/EXA/XXA) | 19:48 |
| Konfused | It seems like the intel kernel module is somehow causing the freeze. Also, there are no logged errors. | 19:48 |
| uLinux | Toaday it says executable | 19:48 |
| Toaday | Loshki, 2-3 seconds | 19:48 |
| Konfused | I have tried turning all acceleration off. | 19:48 |
| Toaday | Have you gotten it to run yet, uLinux? And are you trying to do this on the command line, or in the gui? | 19:49 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, afaik (my intel is a server) the best acceleration option in xorg/although buggy also/ is UXA | 19:49 |
| Konfused | It is my opinion by the way that even a very bad video driver should not hang the whole system. | 19:49 |
| uLinux | Toaday i can make it work using Terminal or double click on it | 19:49 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, yes .. but it happens to me even with proprietary nVidia | 19:50 |
| Konfused | eye-zak: I don't have any opinion with regard to acceleration at this point. I was just trying to get the system to work with absolutely no acceleration first before I decided how to tune it. | 19:50 |
| uLinux | Toaday and i was trying to add a shortcut to menu using Main Menu gui | 19:50 |
| Loshki | Toaday: ok, so from /etc/rc.local, call a script e.g. script.sh which says 'sleep 5; mount -a'. Call it as 'script.sh &' so it doesn't hang the rest of the boot and runs in the background.... | 19:50 |
| Toaday | uLinux, you should just be able to add a launcher | 19:50 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, i know.. but afaik the intel UXA pipeline is the most stable and currently mantained and is recommended for that driver | 19:51 |
| vbl | I have a doubt in ALSA Regarding kernal support.. Can anyone help me.. | 19:51 |
| Loshki | Toaday: bump up the sleep until it works... | 19:51 |
| * Macharo is now away: brb | 19:51 | |
| gally | hi | 19:51 |
| Toaday | Loshki, so I remove the array from the fstab? | 19:51 |
| Konfused | eye-zak, do you mean to say that it is possible that the system might work with XUA acceleration better than it works with no acceleration at all? | 19:51 |
| uLinux | Toaday Launcher > Application and the command ? | 19:52 |
| cyberfux | hi folx | 19:52 |
| uLinux | wait | 19:52 |
| Toaday | The command is the /pathtofile/file.usr | 19:52 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, no acceleration means XXA (old and not really supported by intel ) tbw these are 2D acceleration methods, not 3D | 19:52 |
| slow-motion | hi | 19:52 |
| vbl | My doubt is For example.. in Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS By default 2.6.24.19 is there and ALSA Version 1.016. When I check the kernal support of this. It says 2.6.23 or earlier | 19:53 |
| cyberfux | I've got a prob: ASUS K50IJ Laptop running Ubuntu 10.04 and i can't get that friggin hibernation to work, tried nearly everything (blacklisting, s2d etc.) but not works 3 real... anyone any idea? | 19:53 |
| Konfused | eye-zak, I understand that those are 2D methods. | 19:53 |
| Konfused | All right, I will try XUA. I'll be back in a little while.. | 19:53 |
| eye-zak | Konfused, i can't suggest much else ... haven't used X ever on my intel | 19:53 |
| Toaday | uLinux, The command is the /pathtofile/file.usr | 19:54 |
| viesturs | hey - is there way how to detect from CLI correctly wireless encoding version for my wpa_supliccant script. The problem is to detect correctly what security router uses | 19:54 |
| raffaele | see here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnochm/+bug/538773 | 19:54 |
| viesturs | i can detect WEP ar WPA | 19:54 |
| viesturs | or | 19:54 |
| Toaday | Loshki, so I remove the device from the fstab? | 19:54 |
| Loshki | Toaday: no, just leave it in the fstab, so that when the 'mount -a' command executes, it will try and mount anything in fstab that isn't already mounted.... | 19:54 |
| viesturs | but there is difference between wpa wpa2 wpa+psk utt | 19:54 |
| FotherMucker | Hello people of the universe. | 19:55 |
| eye-zak | viesturs, WPA2 has an RSN, WPA uses a different field | 19:55 |
| Toaday | Loshki, Alright, but that will still hang the system on boot if I have it in fstab, right? | 19:55 |
| viesturs | eye-zak: i understand that | 19:55 |
| viesturs | but how can i detect it before connection | 19:55 |
| Toaday | Loshki, If the device doesn't exist yet | 19:55 |
| viesturs | because i have to specifie for wpa_suplicant conf | 19:55 |
| viesturs | before i connect | 19:56 |
| Loshki | Toaday: If the device doesn't exist, boot might complain. Does that happen currently? | 19:56 |
| viesturs | before i try to connect | 19:56 |
| FotherMucker | How do I back up my Windows harddrive using Ubuntu? | 19:56 |
| Toaday | uLinux, You making any progress | 19:56 |
| uLinux | Toaday Failed to execute child process "/home/*/ventsrv/ventrilo_srv.usr" (Permission denied) | 19:56 |
| void__ | Wow, the new Thunderbird release is actually quite good! | 19:56 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: for full backups i use clonezilla | 19:56 |
| Loshki | FotherMucker: please choose a more g-rated nick for this channel... | 19:56 |
| Toaday | Loshki, Yes, that is my issue. I'm sorry I didn't explain in more detail | 19:56 |
| FotherMucker | viesturs: Okay thanks. | 19:56 |
| Toaday | uLinux, Do you normally need to run this as root for it to work? | 19:57 |
| viesturs | eye-zak: any suggestions ? | 19:57 |
| FotherMucker | viesturs: After that, will I be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 without losing anything? | 19:57 |
| uLinux | Toaday no I just double click it | 19:57 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: read clonezilla descriptions | 19:57 |
| FotherMucker | viesturs: Thanks again. | 19:57 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: maybe duplicity over rsync will be inaf good for you - for data backups | 19:58 |
| viesturs | for full backup i suggest clonezilla | 19:58 |
| Loshki | Toaday: ok, then we need a slight variation on our script. Take the mount line out of fstab so it doesn't hang, and instead of 'mount -a' in the background script, use: mount /dev/md0 /media/Public | 19:58 |
| viesturs | there is also ubuntu based stable version for clonezilla | 19:58 |
| Toaday | Loshki, OK | 19:58 |
| FotherMucker | viesturs: It's basically my whole computer. So it may take a while. | 19:58 |
| onetinsoldier | i've heard good things about 'remastersys' for backing up debian/ubuntu systems | 19:59 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: it depends from HDD speed, data amount and data transfer rate | 19:59 |
| mv0 | hi, im having problems with music playback on my usb headphones | 19:59 |
| mv0 | it was as simple as moving a stream with pulseaudio | 19:59 |
| mv0 | but thats not there anymore | 19:59 |
| mv0 | is there an updated guide for this? | 19:59 |
| mv0 | or anyone know the fix? | 19:59 |
| viesturs | mv0: try alsa-mixer - helped me for problems with HDMI audio | 19:59 |
| cyberfux | is it just me or is ubuntu gettin worse from version to version *grrrr | 19:59 |
| viesturs | ofcorse if your usb headphones are found by system | 19:59 |
| Toaday | Loshki, Can we bring this to PM so I have all your info in another tab? | 20:00 |
| mv0 | they are there | 20:00 |
| guntbert | cyberfux: Do you have an ubuntu support question? | 20:00 |
| mv0 | how do i switch from the standard card | 20:00 |
| uLinux | Toaday I got the file path and type ./ventrilo_srv | 20:00 |
| mv0 | to the usb headphones | 20:00 |
| uLinux | go to | 20:00 |
| mv0 | in alsamixer | 20:00 |
| mv0 | nm | 20:00 |
| mv0 | but i installed pulseaudio | 20:00 |
| Loshki | Toaday: probably better to keep it in the main channel, as I have to go to the airport any moment now. Would you like a recap? | 20:01 |
| mv0 | do i remove pulseaudio? | 20:01 |
| viesturs | eye-zak: ok, but is there way how to detect correctly encryption before connection to wireless network | 20:01 |

| Raccoon1400 | how do I change runlevel without rebooting? telinit doesn't work anymore. | 20:02 |
| viesturs | _pg_: one of solutions is to define with udev what to launch, when device is connected | 20:02 |
| === SkyHAPPY is now known as Sky[x] | ||
| _pg_ | viesturs, how do I do that? | 20:02 |
| guntbert | cyberfux: no real help from me - just to clarify: suspend to ram works? | 20:02 |
| ikonia | FotherMucker: what ? | 20:03 |
| FotherMucker | ikonia: rsync says "Out of memory" | 20:03 |
| ikonia | FotherMucker: you're not using the right syntax | 20:03 |
| _pg_ | viesturs, is udev an application? | 20:03 |
| FotherMucker | ... | 20:03 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: you want to make full system backup with rsync ? | 20:03 |
| Toaday | I think I've got it now, Loshki, I scrolled up :-) | 20:03 |
| FotherMucker | visturs: Yes...? | 20:03 |
| Toaday | Thanks Loshki | 20:03 |
| cyberfux | guntbert yep but i don't like it, the lights on the powerbutton and in front are blinking and using power... also hibernat (the script) works, as do s2d (both sudo'd) | 20:03 |
| FotherMucker | viesturs* sorry | 20:03 |
| ikonia | FotherMucker: you've been told how to do this, and no-one mentioned rsync | 20:04 |
| Toaday | gotta try a reboot now | 20:04 |
| FotherMucker | ikonia: Actually, they did. | 20:04 |
| viesturs | _pg_: try to google udev rules - it is a deamon what attaches and detaches devices | 20:04 |
| ikonia | FotherMucker: no-one in this channel told you to use rsync | 20:04 |
| viesturs | and there is possible to configure what to launch | 20:04 |
| FotherMucker | ikonia: "maybe duplicity over rsync will be inaf good for you - for data backups" | 20:04 |
| _pg_ | viesturs, oh my god why did I check that little box | 20:04 |
| Raccoon1400 | okay, so telinit does change the runlevel, but it's not killing X. How can I kill X? | 20:04 |
| viesturs | ikonia: i mentioned rsync, but for data backups, not system | 20:05 |
| ikonia | viesturs: exactly | 20:05 |
| _pg_ | viesturs, this is really complicated for such a small thing. Can I just get that dialogue box back? | 20:05 |
| viesturs | FotherMucker: take clonezilla and basta | 20:05 |
| cyberfux | guntbert i also blacklistet asus_acpi and used asus_laptop and tried nearly anything i could finde in 2 languages but nothing works... tried it with 9.10 and it looks like it works (dont want to install it *g*) | 20:05 |
| ZykoticK9 | Raccoon1400, "sudo service gdm stop" should work | 20:05 |
| viesturs | _pg_: sorry, all my devices are CLI only - try to explane you over GUI something :) | 20:05 |
| viesturs | is to hard | 20:06 |
| viesturs | :) | 20:06 |
| Toaday | well, didn't hang the boot, but also didn't mount the device | 20:06 |
| _pg_ | viesturs, haha wow. cli makes me want to cry | 20:06 |
| Toaday | didn't assemble the array either | 20:06 |
| viesturs | _pg_: me to sometimes :D | 20:06 |
| onetinsoldier | _pg_: what's happened? what's the problem? | 20:06 |
| guntbert | cyberfux: I didn't want to offer a workaround :-) so you are stuck because the closing of the lid/ selecting the hibernate option from the menu calls a different procedure than the CLI? | 20:06 |
| _pg_ | anyone know of something like "preferred applications" that handles default launching behavior for iPods? I set mine to rythmbox and now I hate myself for it | 20:06 |

| compaq | what is the area on a gnome panel, where messenger and network applet go called? | 20:08 |
| ikonia | AhmedBH: then it's not running, or bound to a different address | 20:08 |
| viesturs | ok, looks like nobody can help on my problem - as always | 20:08 |
| cyberfux | guntbert exactly: hibernation starts and wakes up direct after by itself - a known bug as it seems. funny thing is: it worked under 9.10 | 20:08 |
| AhmedBH | ikonia: how to i check | 20:08 |

| Wilhelm-Scream | Can I safely remove rhythmbox and movie player? | 20:13 |
| Toaday | How do I "call" a script in rc.local? | 20:13 |
| _pg_ | does banshee see/manage iPods? rythmbox does..... | 20:13 |
| Loshki | Toaday: make the script, make it executable (chmod +x script) then write its name in /etc/rc.local. Use the full path to the file... | 20:13 |
| noren | Wilhelm-Scream: yes you can | 20:13 |

| * thb|Ou7 Beach! | 20:15 | |
| dark_ | noren no i installed it in the same drive as windiws | 20:15 |
| Toaday | Loshki, does rc.local get processed before the fstab? | 20:15 |
| noren | Wilhelm-Scream: sudo apt-get remove --purge rythmbox | 20:15 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | K | 20:15 |
| viesturs | Is there way how to correctly detect correct encoding for Wireless connection over CLI. The problem in details is, that i can detect WPA or WEP only, not exactly what WPA, what is must have to correctly configure wpa_supllicant for wireless connection. it is for my bash wireless script | 20:15 |
| onetinsoldier | Wilhelm-Scream: ok, close out Software Center. tell me what happens when you use command on the command line. you will probably need to pastebin the output. try like... dpkg --purge <package_name> | 20:15 |
| erpingham | Wilhelm-Scream: sudo apt-get remove --purge rhythmbox | 20:15 |
| noren | dark_: i guess u did a wubi install and did not make a separate partion for installing ubuntu | 20:16 |
| viesturs | correct my if i am wrong somewhere | 20:16 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | K, it's gone | 20:16 |
| Loshki | Toaday: no, /etc/rc.local is generally the last thing to be processed so that networks and disks are ready... | 20:16 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | thanks a ton | 20:16 |
| dark_ | yes | 20:16 |
| onetinsoldier | cheers | 20:16 |
| dark_ | coz whn i tried to install it in a different drive | 20:16 |
| _pg_ | so rythmbox supports iphone but banshee is way cooler than rythmbox.... what. a. paradox. lol | 20:16 |
| dark_ | it gave error that the partion type was not supported | 20:17 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | It can't find movie player | 20:17 |
| erpingham | _pg_: I think iPhone support was only recently added. | 20:17 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | Is it called totem instead? | 20:17 |
| Ganang | is there any way to perform a serch within a gnome terminal output? | 20:17 |
| erpingham | Wilhelm-Scream: yes. | 20:17 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | OK | 20:17 |
| Wilhelm-Scream | Thanks a bunch guys! | 20:17 |
| coz_ | Ganang, you mean search what is already in the terminal?? | 20:17 |
| Ganang | coz_: exactly | 20:17 |
| Buhmillion | hey you, i know who you are. | 20:17 |
| erpingham | Ganang: maybe Edit->Select All, then paste it into a text editor and search there. | 20:18 |
| guntbert | !ot | Buhmillion | 20:18 |
| ubottu | Buhmillion: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 20:18 |
| noren | dark_: installing ubuntu in wubi is good for testing it out for ppl new to linux, i wud suggest a do a separte and clean install of ubuntu.. | 20:18 |
| Ganang | erpingham: yeah, but i would like to avoid this step...that is what i am doing right now...but i get tired of doing it all the time | 20:18 |
| dark_ | noren u thr | 20:18 |
| coz_ | Ganang, no unfortuanately I have been wanting that for years there is another terminal emulator and I cant think of its name right off hand that used to have search capaibilies withing the terminal itself | 20:18 |
| onetinsoldier | Ganang: do you meant to 'find' a file? you want to learn the find command? is that it? | 20:18 |
| leachim6 | hey | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | dark_: in the long run better to do a proper install from Live CD :) | 20:19 |
| leachim6 | how come the new GDM can't be customized????? | 20:19 |
| dark_ | u mean in a new drive | 20:19 |
| viesturs | fck, looks like i have to figure out by my self tonight :/ | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | leachim6: since the features weren't proggrammed in | 20:19 |
| coz_ | onetinsoldier, I believe he wants to search what is already insdie the terminal window say after a compoile you want to run "find" to find a specific word or phrase in the compile text | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | leachim6: you can change background and thats about it | 20:19 |
| noren | dark_: for ubuntu u wud need ext3/ext4 partition which u can make easily at the start of installing the ubuntu | 20:19 |
| dark_ | im not very much familier with it yet that's why faceing probs. | 20:19 |
| leachim6 | sebsebseb, why would they take features OUT | 20:19 |
| dark_ | okey | 20:19 |
| leachim6 | that doesn't make much sense | 20:19 |
| sebsebseb | leachim6: since they wanted cleaner code | 20:20 |
| Night_Rider | hi ; guys | 20:20 |
| leachim6 | sebsebseb, what the fck.... | 20:20 |
| ikonia | leachim6: it's to help with porting to gnome3 - please discuss in ##gnome | 20:20 |
| ikonia | leachim6: please stop using that language | 20:20 |
| Ganang | onetinsoldier: no sometimes i cannot perform any command operation. For example, i have an open gnome-terminal which has some text refering to an output of a mining algorithm....there are several lines and i want to search specific words.... | 20:20 |
| guntbert | coz_: in that case he should use <command> | less | 20:20 |
| leachim6 | ikonia, I censored it :/ | 20:20 |
| Ganang | coz_: exactly! | 20:20 |
| sebsebseb | leachim6: GDM 2 is a complete rewrite of the old one, if you want a good looking log in screen by default, install KDM | 20:20 |
| ikonia | leachim6: don't use it | 20:20 |
| onetinsoldier | coz_: hmmm. stuff that's already been printed out on the console? seems like that output would need to be save to a file first | 20:20 |
| leachim6 | fair, sorry for seeming like a troll. | 20:20 |
| leachim6 | I'll go ask in ##gnome | 20:20 |
| qwerity | hi all)) | 20:20 |
| dark_ | one more silly Que. how do i make a ext3 partition | 20:20 |
| erpingham | Ganang: Once you do <command> | less you can search by typing a /, then the text you want to search for | 20:21 |
| coz_ | onetinsoldier, well one terminal emulatore name "terminator" used to have a find function just for that | 20:21 |
| ikonia | dark_: the installer will do it for you | 20:21 |
| leachim6 | open up gparted, select your empty space, right click and click "creat fs" ext3 | 20:21 |
| onetinsoldier | coz_: oh! interesting | 20:21 |
| noren | dark_: select guided partition and install this will get you both the ubuntu and windows both on the same drive, but they will be installed on different partition on ur drive | 20:21 |
| coz_ | Ganang, the terminal emulator is named "terminator" | 20:21 |
| dominicdinada | !shortcuts | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 20:21 |
| tyranos | Ganang, u can try installing terminator which allows you to search in a terminal windows, or better learn about piping commands like erpingham said | 20:21 |
| kk_hacker | can some one help me, I am really frustrated for last 12 hours. is there a way to get my lenovo s10 access wifi internet? I am using ubuntu 10.04 | 20:21 |
| dominicdinada | !alias | 20:21 |
| coz_ | Ganang, last time i tried it I couldnt find the "find" function but it is advertised as having it | 20:21 |
| sebsebseb | dark_: as of 9.10 the default file system is Ext4 | 20:21 |
| tyranos | strg+shift+f i thnik | 20:22 |
| dominicdinada | hmmm how to create shortcuts,or alias' like pointing to folders? windows or mac like ? | 20:22 |
| tyranos | ctrl+shift+f | 20:22 |
| coz_ | Ganang, http://software.jessies.org/terminator/ | 20:22 |
| livingdaylight | hello | 20:22 |
| Ganang | tyranos: yeah guys but as i said the i cannot issue a command because the server is running on this gnome-terminal...i cannot stop to issue a command.... | 20:22 |
| Ganang | coz_: ill give a look in terminator | 20:22 |
| dark_ | so i should choose a new partion and format it to the ext4 format | 20:22 |
| dark_ | will that do people | 20:22 |
| noren | dark_: use the ubuntu desktop installer cd >> start the installation process and use the guided partiton everything wud be automated almost, including the ext partition and installing ubuntu | 20:22 |
| aguitel | how to find fastest mirror in ubuntu ? | 20:22 |
| ikonia | aguitel: it does it for you at install time | 20:23 |
| dark_ | okey thanx noren | 20:23 |
| aguitel | ikonia, no | 20:23 |

| dark_ | byee all | 20:23 |
| onetinsoldier | Ganang: i hear you. not sure how to help. these other folks seem to have some idea for you though. my first thought was what erpingham already suggested. hopefully terminator might be an option for you as well. good luck :) | 20:23 |
| ikonia | aguitel: it sets up apt to go to your closest mirror, which in theory should be the fastest | 20:23 |
| Ganang | thanks guys! | 20:24 |
| InvaderZim | Lucid fresh install doesn't login! Screen blinks and returns to kdm login. Karmic worked fine. Help? | 20:24 |

| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: whats the problem | 20:25 |
| slavik | InvaderZim: what kind of video card? | 20:25 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: savage | 20:25 |
| dominicdinada | livingdaylight: there is a way i just forget how as i did mine long ago :/ | 20:25 |
| noren | aguitel: oh sorry i know the gui way but cant find the CLI way to do that | 20:25 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: i can't connect to wifi using my lenovo s10 on Ubuntu 10.04 | 20:25 |
| Gartral | alright.. how do i scan for wireless BSSIDs from console? | 20:25 |
| coz_ | Ganang, just installed terminator and it definitly has a find function :) yeah | 20:26 |
| livingdaylight | dominicdinada: lol, thx for the assurance | 20:26 |
| Night_Rider | !wpa2 | livingdaylight | 20:26 |
| ubottu | livingdaylight: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 20:26 |
| slavik | InvaderZim: wait ... is this like 15 year old card or something? | 20:26 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: weird thing is, if I console login as root, stop kdm, rmmod savage, modprobe savagefb, and STARTX (kdm hangs) kde works fine... | 20:26 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: do you know any way out | 20:26 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: not 15 year old, its onboard from a... maybe 6 year old pc | 20:26 |
| livingdaylight | Night_Rider: you think that webring comes under that? | 20:26 |
| aguitel | noren, debian use apt-spy | 20:26 |
| Gartral | alright.. how do i scan for wireless ESSIDs from console? | 20:26 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: it did work fine with jaunty and karmic | 20:26 |
| slavik | hmm, InvaderZim, try blacklisting the savage module ... | 20:26 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: have you checked your chipset? | 20:27 |
| tmas | I have a MacBook Pro 5,5(mid-2009) and I need to boot from a USB disk. Can anyone help? I believe a boot CD is needed. | 20:27 |
| kk_hacker | Gartral: sudo iwlist scanning | 20:27 |
| slavik | InvaderZim: something with the driver most likely ... tried a search on google for savage lucid kdm? | 20:27 |
| noren | InvaderZim: i think its i95 issue | 20:27 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: yes | 20:27 |
| kk_hacker | brodcom | 20:27 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: I tried... i mean, I went to blacklist.conf and blacklist savage, but X or kdm still used it... drm called it or something | 20:27 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: i even installed the drivers | 20:27 |
| dark_ | one more Que. | 20:27 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: which broadcom chipset? | 20:27 |
| InvaderZim | noren: what you mean | 20:27 |
| slavik | hmm, that shouldn't be possible ... | 20:28 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: yes there's mostly nothing | 20:28 |
| dark_ | do i boot the cd n go with the installation like i did with the wubi.exe | 20:28 |
| dark_ | or smthing else | 20:28 |
| kk_hacker | Gartral: then you will have to do iwconfig to set it up from command line | 20:28 |
| InvaderZim | slavik: occasionally on Xorg log I could see fatal error, some framemapping range issue with the driver. but its not logging like that anymore | 20:28 |
| noren | InvaderZim: just check if u are able to start x in the recovery mode, try adding i915.modeset=1 to kernel booting option | 20:29 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: ah, just switched off the s10 out of frustration | 20:29 |
| coz_ | Ganang, i installed the one directly from their site however you can download the deb package from there | 20:29 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: will find out the specs | 20:29 |
| tmas | Does anyone know how to make a Grub boot CD in Mac OS X? | 20:29 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: actually it worked with 9.04 | 20:29 |
| InvaderZim | noren: with that dot? exactly as 'i915.modeset=1' ? | 20:29 |
| leachim6 | can I install the OLD version of GDM ? | 20:29 |
| dark_ | do i boot the cd n go with the installation like i did with the wubi.exe | 20:29 |

| InvaderZim | noren: oh, and I can't use failsafe. pc hangs/freezes... from recovery mode happens the same stuff | 20:30 |
| tmas | !help | 20:30 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:30 |
| dark_ | okey n choose a new partition with enough space | 20:30 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: mean while here is the problem. after installing my wifi drivers I can see the access point listed but when I click on the access point the wifi requests the ip and keeps requesting. | 20:30 |
| dark_ | that will solve my prob | 20:31 |

| ikonia | nyde: no you'e not | 20:33 |
| jasunto | have you done any mods to make it perform better or take advantage of any mac stuff built into | 20:33 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: pass phrase is 1234567890 and both ends it is the same. Even I thought it is an incription problem. | 20:33 |
| tmas | ikonia: on irc.freenode.net? | 20:33 |
| ikonia | jasunto: what "mac stuff" | 20:33 |
| ikonia | tmas: yes | 20:33 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: have you played with the actual settings on how it hashes,hex,passphrases you pwd... because on all accounts it looks like your wifi is working it just cant authenticate | 20:33 |
| ikonia | jasunto: mac mini's are just intel PC's | 20:33 |

| ikonia | mcl0vin: open the package manager, search for llirc and click remove | 20:35 |
| nyde | mcl0vin: sudo apt-get remove lirc | 20:35 |
| Night_Rider | keyring??? info.. | 20:35 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: just because it keeps asking for your PW doesnt mean it is the correct authentication method... infact that right there should tell you your options are wrong | 20:35 |
| InvaderZim | noren: well i appended that to the end of the line after quiet splash... nothing different, same problem | 20:36 |
| guntbert | Night_Rider: please say a complete question or describe your problem on a whole sentence. | 20:36 |
| mcl0vin | noren: how can i use --purge | 20:36 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: what it should be then? i am by the way trying an ad hoc connection with one of my laptops as host and sharing the connection through ad hoc wifi | 20:36 |
| mcl0vin | ikonia: i am using cli | 20:36 |
| ikonia | mcl0vin: then don't, use the package manager | 20:36 |
| noren | mcl0vin: sudo apt-get remove --purge lirc | 20:36 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: should i use a particular incription type? | 20:36 |
| leebo | 阿 | 20:36 |

| CaptainTrek | Toaday: last step in boot before letting you login IIRC | 20:37 |
| noren | InvaderZim: if u use nvidia get the nvidia pakages and try | 20:37 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: i dont know what your network uses... i would try a 128bit key | 20:37 |
| InvaderZim | noren: no nvidia | 20:37 |

| ubottu | giridhar, please see my private message | 20:38 |
| kk_hacker | dominicdinada: 4 except none right? | 20:38 |
| Toaday | CaptainTrek, Thanks. Anything executed earlier in the boot process? Say, before fstab is processes? | 20:38 |
| greezmunkey | giridhar: it's not there /etc/default/grub (grub being the config file) | 20:38 |
| Toaday | processed* | 20:38 |
| noren | giridhar: its not there now its more complicated as it uses grub2 by default | 20:38 |
| dominicdinada | kk_hacker: if your wireless is even using wep.. | 20:38 |
| mcl0vin | noren: autremove or autoremove | 20:39 |

| onetinsoldier | dominicdinada: hmmm, interesting | 20:54 |

| ikonia | liminal: ok, so that issue is with partitioning "that" disk, rather than the actual /home partition, let me think | 20:54 |
| renodude18 | ubottu: the doc info says that it requires a "hard line" or wired connection, i don't have access to that, any other way to obtain the driver or something on another OS, such as this Virtual install of ubuntu on xp? | 20:54 |

| onetinsoldier | dominicdinada: i may have been the cause of my own problem. for instance, on that prior install.. i installed sun-java6 and then i saw in /etc/alternatives there were still a lot of things left pointing to openjdk rather than sun-java6. well i used the update-alternatives --config command to put them all on sun-java6. that could have been my problem. or it could have been some ppa repo i had added and installed from, don't know | 20:57 |
| onetinsoldier | . could have been an actual bug in lucid that's been fixed. i'm just glad it's all good now :-) | 20:57 |

| onetinsoldier | dominicdinada: last night, i jumped through a lot of hoops and worked for along time to get something compiled. it was pretty tough, but i got it, and in the end, i would say it was worth it. it's called.... aweather. i got it going with full RSL radar support. awesome weather visualization app. however, i have my doubts anyone in here could get it compiled on lucid. hehe. i made .debs of it with 'checkinstall' | 21:07 |

| remaxim | is there maybe a command to get the gnomepanel-volume-applet back? | 21:07 |
| fertech | but 9.04 | 21:07 |
| Janhouse | how can I stop services like apache or mysql starting automatically? | 21:07 |
| fertech | i have 9.04 | 21:07 |
| xangua | remaxim: just add the indicator applet | 21:07 |
| onetinsoldier | dominicdinada: i was pretty proud of myself as you might able to tell :D | 21:08 |
| Night_Rider | fertech : Transmission Bit Torrent Client ? | 21:08 |
| dominicdinada | onetinsoldier: Sweet :) this pc is just used for learning, php etc.... :) | 21:08 |
| NinoScript | Hi! How do I disable the primary clipboard? I sometimes copy a text, then select a text that I want to replace and when I ctrl+v it pastes the selected text… I hate that | 21:08 |
| onetinsoldier | dominicdinada: roger. that's cool | 21:08 |
| oCean_ | onetinsoldier: is there a technical question in your story? | 21:08 |
| jcdyer | Hey all! My usb hard drive (Seagate Free Agent Go) just recently (two or three days) stopped automounting. dmesg sees the drive. So does lsusb, but it doesn't show up in sudo fdisk -l Any idea how to get it working again? | 21:08 |
| fertech | yes i open the Transmission Bit Torrent Client | 21:08 |
| remaxim | xangua, you mean by right clicking on the panel and adding applets? there is no indicator applet there ... | 21:08 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: got it compiled, it was easy ;) | 21:08 |
| fertech | what do i do next | 21:09 |
| xangua | remaxim: what version of ubuntu are you using¿¿ | 21:09 |
| dominicdinada | greezmunkey: ^^ :) | 21:09 |
| remaxim | xangua, 10.04 | 21:09 |

| jasunto | anyone know a good android irc client so i can jump in here if i break my internet? | 21:09 |
| xangua | remaxim: then there should be indicator and indicator session applet; if not try to restore the defaul panel conf | 21:09 |
| xangua | !Panels | 21:09 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 21:09 |
| remaxim | xangua, thanks :) | 21:09 |
| fertech | and how do i do that | 21:10 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: ok, you lost me now | 21:10 |
| dominicdinada | greezmunkey: cheater... anyhow dam UFW | 21:10 |
| noren | fertech: download the torrent file and then open it up with transmission | 21:10 |
| remaxim | I finally found it .. I searched through it about 20 times ... also for the indicator applet ... | 21:10 |
| remaxim | xangua, you were right, thanks :) | 21:10 |
| Adamantus10 | Sounds stupid: Is it risky to switch interfaces just to try them out? For example between Gnome and KDE | 21:10 |
| * greezmunkey waits to be scolded... | 21:10 | |
| fertech | okay i will do that | 21:10 |
| jasunto | anyone here on 10.04 with wifi and vnc before login? | 21:10 |

| rocket16 | I like Pidgin. I have installed it, so if I remove Empathy, will there be any problem (since it is a default package)? | 21:13 |
| jasunto | and to all users | 21:13 |
| ZykoticK9 | Barridus, it's just cron "sudo service cron status" | 21:13 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: that's relative, but thake :) | 21:13 |
| Barridus | maco, "cron" is there and not an "atacron" | 21:13 |
| Barridus | ZykoticK9, unrecognized service | 21:13 |
| * rocket16 salutes onetinsoldier | 21:13 | |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: i am going to gone some hours. not certan when i'll get back. but if you are around at that time i will help you with it if you want. you'll need it! hehe | 21:14 |
| ZykoticK9 | Barridus, do you have cron installed? "apt-cache policy cron" | 21:14 |
| onetinsoldier | S! rocket16 | 21:14 |
| HannibalWagnr | Ok. This is my problem (please answer in private). How do I delete all the logs within the Empathy chat??? I just noticed it logs all my conversations (I'm a secret agent who sells information to the Chinese, and I don't want any traces... :D ) | 21:14 |
| NinoScript | How do I disable the primary clipboard? | 21:14 |
| jasunto | i can try again, one other issue was back in the day i used to have to use x11vnc and have init start it before login and to use same x session | 21:14 |
| Barridus | ZykoticK9, cron: Installed: 3.0pl1-106ubuntu5 | 21:15 |
| onetinsoldier | S! rocket16 - Salutations :-) | 21:15 |
| greezmunkey | rocket16: they are differant programs, if they share lib files those should be retained. Worst case is you have to uninstall both then reinstall pidgin | 21:15 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: :) Thanks, :) my nomination to you, for the commander of Indian Army! :) | 21:15 |
| ZykoticK9 | Barridus, i have no idea then - it's working here? good luck man. | 21:15 |
| guntbert | NinoScript: what primary clipboard? | 21:15 |
| Adamantus10 | Who are all these idiots making open source apps but not for Linux? | 21:15 |
| arand | rocket16: Not really, it will want to remove "ubuntu-desktop" which is a metapackage controlling the group of default applications, but there should be no other effects. | 21:15 |
| onetinsoldier | have to go all.. good luck everyone. cheers | 21:15 |

| HannibalWagnr | ok, but please answer! | 21:16 |
| Barridus | ZykoticK9, do you think maybe purging and reinstalling cron would help? | 21:16 |
| ZykoticK9 | Barridus, no idea... | 21:16 |
| Adamantus10 | Surely if you believe so strongly in open source you would make an Linux version? | 21:16 |
| rocket16 | FSpot is too slow, because of Mono. Will the use of Shotwell make things faster? | 21:17 |

| bondiblueos9 | is there a way to have tar output how much it has written? | 21:26 |
| bondiblueos9 | or is there a way to know how much as been written to a tape? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bondiblueos9: use "v" flag for verbose output | 21:26 |
| bondiblueos9 | ikonia: doesn't v just tell you all the files? | 21:26 |
| ikonia | bondiblueos9: yes | 21:27 |
| ikonia | bondiblueos9: therefore you can see how many it's done and what it's doing currently | 21:27 |
| bondiblueos9 | ikonia: oh, well I need the size of the archive after its been compressed and written | 21:27 |
| ikonia | bondiblueos9: just look at the size of it on the tape | 21:27 |

| maco | squelch: firefox lacks a built-in download manager, however the DownThemAll extention could help | 21:32 |

| shani248 | @maco thanks ... checking it out | 21:33 |
| xangua | squelch: you can try your favorite download manager and integrate it in firefox with flashgot addon | 21:33 |
| squelch | What about if I'm using Opera | 21:33 |
| bondiblueos9 | ikonia, tar tjvf just lists all the files and their information, not the overall size as written; at least I don't think it does; I'm trying it right now (there are a lot of files) | 21:33 |
| squelch | thanks | 21:33 |

| BitEncrypt_ | package dependencies cannot be resolved......trying to install Gnome | 21:36 |
| Adamantus10 | It downloads all content on a page, can't see the point | 21:37 |
| maco | greezmunkey: its an extension for firefox that lets you continue downloads like "wget -c" but also it can remember the downloads and continue them even after ff crashes and since its in ff, it can work on things that require that you be logged in (where wget fails) | 21:37 |
| greezmunkey | Adamantus10: yeah, just looked it up, I can see it being a pain. | 21:37 |
| nokia3510 | Troubleshooting a NFS issue, I accidentally did sudo chown -vR user:user on / thinking I'm on ~/user so until I stopped it several/many system files got assigned to user:user. Is there a way to restore those files to their default uid/gid ownership ? | 21:37 |
| maco | Adamantus10: huh? no it doesnt. you click on a download link for a file and tell it to use downthemall to get it | 21:37 |
| renodude181 | Night_Rider: ? | 21:37 |

| sint | i run 10.04 | 21:39 |

| ikonia | bondiblueos9: dissapointing | 21:39 |
| greezmunkey | sint: I have that running here, but honestly don't see as much of a need for it as I first thought, now that nautilus has split screens and such | 21:40 |
| maco | greezmunkey, Adamantus10: ah i see, getting a whole page is an option, but having used it i can tell you that you can choose individual files to download instead | 21:40 |
| pcgeek32147 | how do i get 10.04 to see my display | 21:40 |
| guntbert | sint: change some config, save it, then you edit ~/.mc/ini | 21:40 |
| maco | greezmunkey: nautilus has split screens like dolphin? i thought it just had tabs | 21:40 |
| === squelch is now known as Guest52932 | ||
| sint | greezmunkey: ok i prefer mc over nautilus in terminal ;) | 21:40 |
| BitEncrypt_ | i messed up my comp. by installing kubuntu would like to have the boot up screen say ubuntu again | 21:40 |
| oCean_ | BitEncrypt_: not 100% sure if that works for Kubuntu also, but installing "ubuntu-desktop" should do the trick. (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) | 21:41 |
| greezmunkey | maco, yes there's a check box for it. | 21:41 |
| BitEncrypt_ | thx | 21:41 |
| maco | BitEncrypt_: just remove the kubuntu plymouth theme package, i think | 21:41 |

| maco | BitEncrypt_: plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo <-- uninstall that | 21:44 |
| Night_Rider | renodude181 : Ample of option is given | pick the one easy for you. | 21:45 |
| mkhanyisi | Juniksz, you pics you've attached are so big, they load slow | 21:45 |

| Juniksz | mkhanyisi: ok I make it, a moment | 21:46 |
| BitEncrypt_ | maco: i am very limited with the terminal.....sudo apt-uninstall............??? | 21:47 |
| DeeTah | mkhanyisi: well, i already know that. it's not a problem to write a script, it's a problem to figure out wherre to put it. | 21:47 |
| Night_Rider | renodude181 : Alright ! wipe the slate clean | we start again.. | 21:47 |
| maco | BitEncrypt_: you dont have to use the terminal if you dont want | 21:47 |
| renodude181 | Night_Rider: Ok? now what | 21:47 |
| maco | BitEncrypt_: you can use system -> administration -> synaptic in ubuntu or kickoff -> computer -> kpackagekit | 21:47 |
| Night_Rider | renodude181 : Run with the CD without installing & did you see the wi-fi | 21:47 |
| tim_ | slart: I don't think so but I will look, it does require a password to get back in, but your session is still active as far as nanny is concerned. | 21:47 |

| renodude181 | Night_rider: could the no CD booting issue be a corrupt ISO, cause when launching Wubi from CD it get an error can't find CD. But launching it from the .iso in windows it runs fine? | 21:55 |
| BitEncrypt_ | maco: here is what it says in term. Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 21:55 |
| Slart | greezmunkey: apparently there's a timeoutd package available as well.. does the same thing if I understand it's man page correctly | 21:56 |
| maco | BitEncrypt_: it means you have an update maanger or synaptic or software center or kpackagekit or something already running | 21:56 |
| maco | BitEncrypt_: you can only use one at a time | 21:56 |

| Cosmo` | it's a headless server so it's so aggrevating to have to plug in a keyboard and monitor when i've either a) forgotten to turn on the external hard disk | 22:20 |
| Cosmo` | or something has gone wrong | 22:20 |
| the_padawan2 | soreau: Reinstalling nvidia driver resolved issue. I forgot that I had installed a later driver version than what is in the repos. I guess some update wasn't exactly compatible with my configuration. Thanks for the help! | 22:21 |

| Cosmo` | i need to log in and mount the drive to use the file server | 22:21 |

| anodesni | does ubuntu lts eventually update the kernel to a new point release (e.g. does 10.04 will include 2.6.35)? | 22:22 |
| mistergibson | Stormx2: in what app is that? | 22:23 |
| acicula | anodesni, thats very unlikely | 22:23 |
| audifahrer | Since I installed 10.04 I have strange svn problems. Has anyone also hit this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/463294 | 22:23 |
| audifahrer | ? | 22:23 |
| Night_Rider | Irunongames : what about the USB ? | 22:23 |
| mistergibson | Stormx2: I mean the console, not gnometerminal | 22:23 |
| maco | Stormx2: tty, not gnome-terminal, i think mistergibson means | 22:23 |
| killown | what program can i use to create pcx image? | 22:23 |
| Irunongames | Night_Rider, it's connected | 22:23 |
| maco | mistergibson: erm...brighter than white? | 22:23 |
| Stormx2 | mistergibson, gnome-terminal. If you're talking about tty... I don't know. It should be pure white. | 22:23 |
| Irunongames | AND being charged | 22:23 |
| anodesni | acicula, not even at a point release? 10.04.2? e.g | 22:23 |
| alone | what the best irc for linux? | 22:23 |
| mistergibson | maco, Stormx2: seriously, only bold white even shows up | 22:23 |
| ikonia | !best | alone | 22:23 |
| ubottu | alone: 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. | 22:23 |
| maco | !best | alone | 22:23 |
| maco | mistergibson: its not bold for you by default? | 22:23 |
| mkhanyisi | killown, what about the gimp | 22:23 |
| mistergibson | maco: evidently not | 22:24 |
| killown | mkhanyisi, i think gimp can't creat pcx images | 22:24 |
| mistergibson | maco: you know where the text console color palettes are stored? | 22:24 |
| mkhanyisi | killown, why pcx? | 22:24 |
| roygbiv | channel polls can be fun, but not in heavy scroll channels like this one | 22:24 |
| Night_Rider | Irunongames : Try circling through Amarok. | 22:24 |
| maco | mistergibson: sudo dpkg-reconfigure consolekit should let you change the font to a thicker one | 22:24 |
| acicula | anodesni, the focus is on continuity and stability, a major revision bump would be counterproductive | 22:24 |
| killown | mkhanyisi, because i am customizing ubuntu logo splash.pcx | 22:24 |
| mistergibson | maco: I see | 22:24 |
| mistergibson | maco: thanks | 22:24 |
| Irunongames | Night_Rider, "circling"? | 22:24 |
| Irunongames | I am new to ubuntu :/ | 22:24 |
| maco | mistergibson: but if white isnt bright enough on your screen, that sounds like a your-screen issue | 22:24 |
| anodesni | acicula, such as providing better video drivers | 22:25 |
| mistergibson | maco: no, its not | 22:25 |
| mistergibson | maco: been using it for years just fine | 22:25 |
| mkhanyisi | killown, what are you using to customize it then? | 22:25 |
| mistergibson | maco: its the color palette actually and perhaps the scan rate | 22:25 |

| roygbiv | edlik: no | 22:26 |
| mistergibson | maco: its actually system-wide I'm looking to alter | 22:26 |
| Cosmo` | some of the P4's should support EM64T | 22:27 |
| linxeh | edlik: depends on the processor | 22:27 |
| anodesni | acicula, rolling ubuntu!? you mean the development version? | 22:27 |
| maco | mistergibson: /etc/profile then | 22:27 |
| linxeh | edlik: generally you should buy a new processor though :o | 22:27 |
| Night_Rider | edlik : 32 bit will work fine. | 22:27 |
| Irunongames | Night_Rider, ok, trying again | 22:27 |
| acicula | anodesni, well the latest stable release or yeah running the devel version. you'll have to choose, stability or every new feature | 22:27 |
| edlik | is there an advantage to 64 bit? | 22:27 |
| maco | edlik: can use >4gb of ram. oh but wait 32bit with pae can do that too so uh.... can do really crazy math | 22:28 |
| NimbleRabit | Can somebody help me figure out why I only transfer files at 13 megabytes/second (average) to another computer in my house (which runs ubuntu as well), but my windows machine transfers at around 26 megabytes/second to the same computer? I'm getting about half speeds going through the same switch. | 22:28 |
| roygbiv | maco: crazy math? | 22:28 |

| Cosmo` | sse ops should be the same regardless of whether you're running in 64 bit or 32 bit mode | 22:29 |
| maco | roygbiv: oh i dont know if p4 could do it. im surprised to hear ANY of those are 64bit | 22:29 |
| Cosmo` | but of course a P4 won't have SSE3 etc etc. | 22:29 |
| maco | roygbiv: but i think amd64 allows for larger floating point numbers | 22:30 |

| acicula | Green_Tea, small, and no | 22:30 |
| acicula | Green_Tea, there is little incentive to have one even unless you use full disc encryption. ext2/100Mb should be more then enough | 22:31 |

| kroms | Hi | 22:31 |
| maco | Night_Rider: er...thats not a processor model | 22:32 |
| kroms | Anyone get two finger scrolling to work? I'm trying to figure it out with the SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad | 22:32 |
| maco | Night_Rider: nor is it an architecture | 22:32 |
| greezmunkey | NimbleRabit: maco: try this in a terminal ;) :cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e "cpu" -e "model" | 22:32 |
| maco | Night_Rider: several architectures (such as amd64 and ia64) qualify as 64bit | 22:32 |

| maco | Night_Rider: why do you care? | 22:33 |
| zgoldberg | Hello! Has anybody heard of an issue where an asus eee pc 1201 (or other machine) will hang or get very very very slow when accessing sound preferences in Lucid? | 22:34 |
| Night_Rider | maco : Just looking if I too can jump on 64 bit? | 22:34 |
| acicula | Night_Rider, ia64 is a 64 bit vliw architecture, which is not used in consumer hardware | 22:35 |
| maco | Night_Rider: i see. well i use a intel core 2 duo on this machine (which is amd64) | 22:35 |
| maco | Night_Rider: dunno what the mobo is. some asus thing. | 22:35 |
| maco | acicula: itanic ;-) | 22:35 |
| acicula | Night_Rider, any recent desktop will be able to run ubuntu 64bit code, just (some?) atoms cant | 22:36 |
| coolstuff | so I'm thinking about building my own PC, but with Ubuntu as the main OS | 22:36 |
| Night_Rider | maco : I am on intel / amd i have never used. | 22:36 |
| coolstuff | any parts anyone recommends? | 22:36 |
| enriq | hi is there a mortal kombat like game for ubuntu? | 22:37 |
| maco | Night_Rider: most intel 64bit cpus are amd64 | 22:37 |
| MPX | People play mortal kombat on the computer? | 22:37 |
| MPX | maco, IA64? | 22:38 |
| acicula | coolstuff, err most desktop components should work just fine, dont overspend on the processor | 22:38 |
| coolstuff | hmm | 22:38 |
| maco | Night_Rider: they license the amd64 architecture from amd because intel's own 64bit architecture (ia64 aka itanium, known in the ubuntu developer sphere as "itanic" because so little successfully builds on it) is not backwards compatible with 32bit operating systems | 22:38 |
| MPX | maco, what really? | 22:38 |
| acicula | heu ia64 is not remotely related to x86 or amd64 | 22:38 |
| coolstuff | I was just wondering 'cause I heard there were some parts that Linux doesn't work with | 22:38 |
| maco | MPX: yes | 22:38 |
| MPX | IA64 is not compatible with 32 bit? | 22:38 |
| maco | MPX: righto | 22:39 |

| renodude18 | Night_Rider: sorry got another blue screen again | 22:39 |
| MPX | Hahaha :D | 22:39 |

| kroms | nevermind, got two finger scrolling to work. | 22:40 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : What were you doing getting Blue screen. (Please Explain) | 22:40 |
| maco | coolstuff: i recommend intel if you have a wireless card | 22:41 |
| KnifeySpooney | Hi, I'm having a problem with my Places menu opening FTP bookmarks for nautilus into Firefox instead of Nautilus.. anybody know a fix? | 22:41 |
| acicula | coolstuff, yeah there are some parts, but that pertains mostly to laptops or wireless cards | 22:41 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: I'm getting the blue screen from the virtual machine. I don't think this machine can run it, so i installed pidgin on windows for now. | 22:41 |
| === roman is now known as Guest78411 | ||
| maco | coolstuff: and really, intel for graphics too. very good open source drivers. nvidia & ati have spotty drivers | 22:41 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Virtual Machine | 1. Microsoft Virtual Machine 2. VMware 3. Sun Virtual Box (which one) | 22:42 |
| coolstuff | I see. I'll go with Intel then, thanks for telling me that | 22:42 |
| maco | coolstuff: the main problem with nvidia & ati is they remove support for cards from their drivers every so often and then people get upset because gosh darn it this hardware's only two years old and its unsupported again! | 22:42 |
| sabat | nvidia's drivers are not horrible, ati is a bitch tho. | 22:42 |
| coolstuff | ha, they should fix that | 22:43 |
| maco | sabat: watch your language please | 22:43 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: Oracle VM Sunvirtual box, forgot that microsoft had one too lol | 22:43 |
| acicula | coolstuff, if you want to play games you'll want either an nvidia or ati card, otherwise just an intel will do just fine too | 22:43 |
| maco | coolstuff: in the open drivers, folks can fix that. but not in the proprietary ones. | 22:43 |
| maco | coolstuff: theres a project called nouveau that has working (and fast) 2d and theyre starting on 3d stuff for nvidia, and thats open source | 22:44 |
| coolstuff | well I was planning on playing games, but an i7 card would be sufficient, wouldn't it? | 22:44 |
| coolstuff | oh, awesome | 22:44 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Are you sure you are going with the default setting to install Ubuntu | 22:44 |
| acicula | i was using ati binary drivers on an old 9700 pro not so long ago, 2 years of support seems a bit of a stretch | 22:44 |
| maco | coolstuff: and ati has a proprietary driver that mostly works but occasionally drops hardware support at which point you switch to the open source driver which may or may not have 3d support for that card but at least has 2d | 22:44 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: On which, the Wubi install or the Virtual box install? | 22:45 |
| MACscr | why is it that when i import a theme, it doesnt seem to give it its own name and just goes under the custom category? that means that i cant have more than one custom theme installed at a time (obviously im not wanting them running at the same time) | 22:45 |
| maco | acicula: im not sure exactly how long as i only use intel graphics, but i have seen rants about how this hardware's not that old and how dare they | 22:45 |
| coolstuff | hmm, okay, so should I go with an i7 Intel card or an ati/nvidia card | 22:45 |
| === Redache is now known as Gidget | ||
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: I'm not worried about the virtual box install. its getting the wireless working in the Wubi install that matters most | 22:45 |
| acicula | maco, thats more likely related to people ranting about why the latest revision does not include their gfx anymore and they have to install the legacy version instead | 22:46 |
| maco | coolstuff: i guess it depends how long you tend to keephardware ;-) | 22:46 |
| sabat | ya, my laptop video card became unsupported, it an ATI. my laptop isn't even that old. it | 22:46 |

| renodude18 | Night_Rider: twice, both times work. but i was told that i could access windows files from ubuntu, but wasn't so i did a re-install | 22:51 |
| greezmunkey | lo | 22:53 |
| acerimmer | renodude18: wubi is a pain to maintain bcz of windows faults. Urge you to consider a side by side dual boot installation | 22:53 |
| craigbass1976 | When I switch users on a lucid box, everything goes black with a pointer. I am ssh-ed into the box though, so it's not too crazy, but sitting at the box itself I can't see anything | 22:54 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : You installer (wubi) is corrupted.. 2) Un-install (remove it from the windows registry also & try again. | 22:54 |
| renodude18 | acerimmer: I would but i don't want to mess with the hard drive on this system since windows is still used, I've had problems in the past with not being able to remove the Grub Loader and not getting into windows | 22:55 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: Would that Cure the no wireless? | 22:55 |
| === danoparty is now known as danopia | ||
| craigbass1976 | Also, when I first switch users and hover the pointer around, it switches to a cursor in one section, so I'm guessing the computer is sitll throwing up the passwrod dialog. Also, Ctrl + Alt + F1 shows nothing, but I can type a username, password, and sudo init 6 to reboot the box | 22:56 |
| acerimmer | well so long as u understand that you'll likely experience multiple faults under wubi. Maybe install ubuntu to a windows hosted virtual box? | 22:56 |
| renodude18 | acerrimmer: I already have it installed, its painfully slow on this laptop under a virtual install. so far under wubi it runs fine other then no internet | 22:57 |

| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Piratically you got to try its only through wubi ; later you can simply un-install to get rid of it. | 22:57 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: so i need to keep trying to get the wireless working while its installed under wubi, then uninstall it to fix the windows problem? | 22:58 |

| Andorin | Is there any way to add this unallocated space to /dev/sda1 without erasing any partitions? http://bayimg.com/image/pamooaaco.jpg | 23:13 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: HUH?? | 23:13 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: did you make a copy of /etc/default/grub before you changed it? | 23:14 |
| pixolin | uhm .... I'm not really sure, I better should check if I have somethin, right? | 23:14 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Check the Compatibility of your Laptop. | 23:14 |
| pfifo | Andorin, yes, move the other partitions so that all the unallocated space is at the end of sda1 and then resize sda1 | 23:15 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: Mines not listed | 23:15 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: do you remember what file you edited? | 23:15 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : The Thread i gave you before (they also had the similar issues regarding the wireless) | 23:16 |
| calibre | How do I change back to another directory? | 23:16 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, /etc/default/grub | 23:16 |
| bondiblueos9 | popd ? | 23:16 |
| bondiblueos9 | if you got there with pushd | 23:17 |
| HowardTheDuck | yo | 23:17 |
| bondiblueos9 | and if those are the proper commands | 23:17 |
| vlt | calibre: `cd -` | 23:17 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: so does this mean i have no way of getting it to work? | 23:17 |
| greezmunkey | calibre: cd .., or cd (back to home), or cd /???/??? there are several possibilities. | 23:17 |
| armor-64 | hi i want to play my playstation games in ubuntu via some program!dou you know how? | 23:17 |

| mkhanyisi | I had two hard drives and one died and I lost data that was on it. I am hearing people talking about RAID, is it advantageous? | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | !info psx | 23:18 |
| ubottu | Package psx does not exist in lucid | 23:18 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Be positive ; before jumping to conclusion try getting more help. | 23:18 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: are you familiar with http://paste.ubuntu.com - the pastebin? | 23:18 |
| pixolin | yes, sure | 23:18 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: RAID is good for not having to shutdown your machine when one of the disks fails. But it's not a replacement for backups. | 23:18 |
| nishanth | can some one help me with a plugin issue on firefox or chrome? | 23:18 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: copy the contents of /etc/default/grub so we can go through it. | 23:18 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, you want me to paste my ... OK, I see ... | 23:19 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: (and you'll keep the data you changed between the last backup and the disk failure, of course ;-) | 23:19 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: OK, but after three days of searching, I can't find anything that will work with it. i don't know what to do. i've never had this much of a problem with ubuntu since version 5 something | 23:19 |
| mkhanyisi | vlt, that was straight to the point. thanks. I thought raid means that you dont have to backup anything | 23:19 |
| liminal | hello | 23:19 |
| liminal | im getting a serious error when i install ubuntu | 23:19 |
| liminal | error informing the kernal about modifications to the partion dev/sda5 -- device or resource buys. This means linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 untill you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting | 23:19 |
| liminal | anyone know what the hell is going on with my install? | 23:19 |
| FloodBot1 | liminal: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:19 |
| wage | The files /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_ZA are causing problems for a script of mine, is it safe to delete them? Are they just un needed language files? | 23:19 |
| pfifo | isnt there a way to supress join/part messages in xchat? | 23:20 |
| mkhanyisi | vlt, so If i want RAID, my hard drives should be identical? | 23:20 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, I pasted that under http://paste.ubuntu.com/438525/ | 23:20 |
| bondiblueos9 | mkhanyisi, there are a few kinds of raid | 23:20 |
| bondiblueos9 | mkhanyisi, but if you had a mirrored set up, then yes they would | 23:20 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: With RAID your server still can get destroyed by a plane crash or a user or drunken admin still delete important stuff ;-) | 23:21 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : Where you on the same laptop? from version 5 | 23:21 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: change: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" splash vga=786 quiet" | 23:21 |
| pixolin | yep, just saw hat line | 23:21 |
| pixolin | what would I enter there? | 23:21 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: No, that was my old desktop that is way gone and dead now | 23:22 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: No. Usually you'll be able to use the size of the smallest disks from every other | 23:22 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" - ok, the sudo update-grub, and restart to test | 23:22 |
| pfifo | mkhanyisi, RAID will only use the size of the smallest drive for all 3, so they should be of equal size, however using identical drives makes shopping easier | 23:22 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: ...then sudo update-grub...sorry I can't type today. | 23:23 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, OK, I'll try that | 23:23 |
| Night_Rider | renodude18 : I am really not much familiar with DELL hardware..(later in the session keep asking) | 23:23 |
| mkhanyisi | vlt, bondiblueos9, pfifo thanks guys, however this thing look tedious | 23:23 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, thanks | 23:23 |
| nishanth | can some one help me with a plugin issue on firefox or chrome? | 23:23 |
| wad | Hi guys. I just upgraded my computer to 10.04, but grub got confused. It's a dual-boot box, windows on sda, linux on sdb. I had it auto-fix grub-pc, and now I can boot to linux, but the windows boot just sits there and does nothing now. Ideas? | 23:23 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: ok :) | 23:23 |
| renodude18 | Night_Rider: Ok | 23:23 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: It's VERY easy. | 23:23 |
| BrainDance | Hey I have a question about whether something is possible or not in Ubuntu, so I don't need actual detailed instructions on how to do it, but just to know if I can possibly do it | 23:23 |
| BrainDance | So, I'm hoping someone can help me, I asked the other day but everyone was busy | 23:24 |
| wad | There is no more menu.lst in here... I'm lost! | 23:24 |
| Night_Rider | nishanth : Plugin issues ??? | 23:24 |
| renodude18 | Everyone: Does anyone know how to get a Dell Wireless 1370 MiniPCI to work in Ubuntu 10.04 or ubuntu period? | 23:24 |
| eye-zak | wad: now using grub2 see /etc/default/grub | 23:24 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: you there!! | 23:24 |
| XStatik | Whats the best cd/dvd burner for ubuntu | 23:24 |
| wad | thanks, eye-zak! | 23:24 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, how about line 7? | 23:24 |
| Izinucs | How do I discover the current running kernel via cli? | 23:24 |
| mnemon | well ... how about you ask the question then BrainDance | 23:24 |
| BrainDance | I have a laptop connected to a wireless router and of course, internet connection. Now I have a desktop with a wifi card in it, it doesn't have the range to connect to the wireless network | 23:25 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider yes i am not able to play some online live streaming videos | 23:25 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: heh, there are others you should probably fix | 23:25 |
| ania_ | wad, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 23:25 |
| BabyJesus | brainDance, and? | 23:25 |
| BrainDance | but it can connect to an ad hoc connection if I use wicd, but then the laptop cant connect to the router | 23:25 |
| vlt | mkhanyisi: AS I said the disks don't _have_ to be identical. With RAID1 you simply mirror your disk: You get 500 MB out of two 500 MB disks, for example. With RAID5 you get (n-1)*min(size) | 23:25 |
| BrainDance | if I get another pcmcia wifi card, stick it in the laptop | 23:25 |
| BabyJesus | BRainDance, oh | 23:25 |
| Night_Rider | nishanth : what error you are getting? | 23:25 |
| BrainDance | can I set up an adhoc connection between the desktop and the laptop, and share the internet connection? | 23:25 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider it says missing plugin in chrome. | 23:25 |
| BrainDance | while, of course, having the original wireless connection still going in the laptop? | 23:26 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: L7 is ok, place a # in front of L17 as well | 23:26 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, tell me more ... | 23:26 |
| BrainDance | I dont know if I explained it well, kind of convoluted, but is that a possibility? | 23:26 |
| Night_Rider | nishanth : let me give you a link.. | 23:26 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: just noticed those... | 23:26 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider it is the microsoft media server plugin or MMS plugin | 23:26 |
| pixolin | what if I place a # in front of line 8? | 23:26 |
| mnemon | BrainDance: yes, you propably can do that | 23:26 |
| renodude18 | anyone know how to get a dell wireless 1370 to work in ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider ok | 23:26 |
| mkhanyisi | vlt, thanks | 23:26 |
| lyrae | anyone using gnome elementary? | 23:27 |
| pfifo | is it just me or is freenode seem to have a very high latency today? | 23:27 |
| vlt | !anyone | lyrae | 23:27 |
| ubottu | lyrae: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:27 |
| BrainDance | Excellent! Thank you very much mnemon, well when I find another wireless pcmcia card somewhere in the basement I'll probably be back, because I know I wont be able to do it right the first time ;) | 23:27 |
| lyrae | How can i get nautilus to look like this: http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/124225-1.png | 23:27 |
| WarCthulhu | Does anyone here know how to get steam up and running on 10.04? | 23:27 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, OK, placed a # at line 17, too | 23:28 |
| lyrae | i already have the theme installed | 23:28 |
| Night_Rider | nishanth : What OS are you using right now. | 23:28 |
| renodude18 | How can i get my wireless card to work in ubuntu? | 23:28 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider lucid | 23:28 |
| lyrae | renodude18, is it broadcom/ | 23:28 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: while you are in there, you may as well change:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ipv6.disable=1" | 23:28 |
| BrainDance | I have a broadcom card and the only way I could get it to work was to use restricted (?) drivers | 23:29 |
| renodude18 | Lyrae: from what i'm told it is | 23:29 |
| BrainDance | at the whole "administration>hardware drivers" window | 23:29 |
| BrainDance | and in order to get that, had to use a wired connection | 23:29 |
| BrainDance | so maybe that renodude18? | 23:29 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: that's it for now, run sudo update-grub, and restart to test | 23:29 |
| vilhelm | BrainDance: yeah same here | 23:29 |
| InvaderZim | Problem: Fresh install of Lucid doesn't go beyong login screen at KDM. screen blinks. Weird is, I installed xdm, and it works through xdm. Problem is, beside being ugly, there is no shutdown option, only end session. Any ideas? | 23:30 |
| zion_ | can someone explain what diferent between sudo ap-get dist-upgrade and upgrade???? | 23:30 |
| Kentrel | Everynow and again my Ubuntu starts accessing the disk and becomes unusable for several minutes, in this case 30 minutes. I ended up having to reboot several times to get it working again. What kind of logs can I check to figure out what that was | 23:30 |
| schnable | if I have two cron jobs scheduled for the same time, will they run in parallel or or one after another? | 23:30 |
| renodude18 | unable to use a wired connection, any other ideas maybe? | 23:30 |
| Kentrel | Or can I run something in the background to monitor in case it happens again | 23:30 |
| vlt | schnable: parallel | 23:30 |
| schnable | vlt: thanks | 23:31 |
| pixolin | greezmunkey, OK, wish me luck ;-) | 23:31 |
| pixolin | will reboot now | 23:31 |
| okapi14 | hi guys, i am keep having error with synaptic about a broken package. I remember there is a command to fix this anyone can help? | 23:31 |
| zion_ | can someone explain what diferent between sudo ap-get dist-upgrade and upgrade???? | 23:31 |
| renodude18 | any ideas of getting a dell wireless 1370/broadcom to work without a wired connection? | 23:32 |
| Night_Rider | nishanth : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792833 | 23:32 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin: you'll be fine. | 23:32 |
| BrainDance | hmm, I'm sure theres another way to get the driver on another computer, and just burn a cd/thumbdrive, something along those lines, but I''m sure everyone here would know far more than I | 23:32 |
| zion_ | renodude18, if u will manegde to do it let me know too | 23:32 |
| Docolero_ | zion_, the man-page could help. try "man apt-get" | 23:33 |

| MPX | In windows, I can remember being able to check my battery status on my keyboard and mouse (wireless) | 23:33 |
| MPX | Is there such a tool for Ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| pixolin_ | greezmunkey, OK, back ... and everything just perfect | 23:33 |

| pixolin_ | thanks for your help | 23:33 |
| pixolin_ | I | 23:33 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin_: now do some browsing with er, your browser see if you notice it acting "snappier" or not... | 23:34 |
| Kentrel | Okay, I figured out top is the command I want to use. How do I get the command "top -i -d 60 > ~/monitor.log to run on startup? | 23:34 |
| endra | hey | 23:34 |
| pixolin_ | I should have found out myself with http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/GRUB_2/Konfiguration ... | 23:34 |
| aurilliance | How do I make a patch? | 23:34 |
| Andorin | pfifo: Thank you. (A little late, I know.) I didn't know you could just drag a partition in gparted. | 23:35 |
| aurilliance | ...or use one to fix something on my machine? | 23:35 |
| aurilliance | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-evtouch/+bug/546487 | 23:35 |
| erUSUL | aurilliance: with diff | 23:35 |
| pixolin_ | well, I disabled ip6 within firefox allready | 23:35 |
| endra | what happened to grub with this latest update? I can't find the config file in /boot and the menu doesn't even come up anymore - it just boots into ubuntu.. | 23:35 |
| erUSUL | !grub2 | endra | 23:35 |
| ubottu | endra: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 23:35 |
| vlt | MPX: Sounds like a tool written by your keyboard's vendor. Maybe it's available for linux. maybe | 23:35 |
| MPX | vlt : Well, I didn't install any driver | 23:35 |
| MPX | It has a USB reciever | 23:35 |
| MPX | Windows just showed it... | 23:35 |
| Night_Rider | MPX : I am not sure but give it a try : Install Ubuntu Tweak | 23:36 |
| MPX | Ubuntu tweak doesnt have anything | 23:36 |
| ryankrizan | Hey guys, what's the best way to resize my partitions on an already established system? I have Vista and Ubuntu installed. I want to give Ubuntu some more room. | 23:36 |
| greezmunkey | pixolin_: I did too, but actually noticed a differance after disabling it completely. | 23:36 |
| maco | MPX: still sounds like a specialised windows driver thing and that maybe windows happens to include those tweaks | 23:36 |
| renodude18 | how do i get a dell wireless 1370/broadcom to work in ubuntu? | 23:36 |
| endra | ah I see.. so to update it, is it still update-grub or is it now update-grub2? | 23:36 |
| nishanth | Night_Rider i did install mozilla-vlc plugin long back and it did not work | 23:37 |
| vlt | MPX: Sometimes windows drivers are included in the USB devices and automagically installed when plugged in for the first time ... | 23:37 |

| sabat | seen that while opening files in notepad that were never meant to be opened in notepad :) | 23:39 |
| BrainDance | This is just a real stupid question, but I remember a couple releases ago, there was something sort of like the "ubuntu software center" that worked as sort of a more user friendly front for synaptic package manager, but from what I can see, ubuntu software center has replaced it, and I cant find it anymore. I actually dont care for the software center, and synaptic isn't that great for just browsing for new random stuff,, what | 23:39 |
| BrainDance | was the program I'm thinking of called, and can I still get it? | 23:39 |
| Irunongames | I can play songs on my computer but I don;t know how to save the songs to the computer, anyone know how? | 23:39 |

| ubottu | roadie: Hi! I'm ubottu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | 23:45 |
| colex | corpse: yeah but I've searched in appdb and they report it as "garbage", I only have 2003 version , 2007 is out of my possibilities at this moment :( | 23:45 |
| arand | aurilliance: apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch, cd into the directory, apply the patch using the patch command, rebuild the package, (debuild & pbuilder are convenient tools for that) | 23:45 |
| Axilus | vlt: this could also be useful for other tasks :D | 23:45 |
| vlt | Axilus: Erm, indeed. | 23:45 |
| Slart | roadie: I'm not sure what you expected ubottu to answer to that.. but I've never seen anyone use a weather command on it | 23:45 |
| corpse | colex: ahh ic, i have 2007 running just fine on my end | 23:45 |
| roadie | Slart: just trying to find a bot that will tell me the weather, know of any rooms with one? | 23:46 |
| pfifo_ | !weather 127.0.0.1 | 23:46 |
| clrg | roadie: And how is the bot supposed to know where you are from? | 23:47 |
| godricbrutus | brb, gona try something | 23:47 |
| Slart | roadie: nope.. this is the ubuntu support channel.. we do ubuntu support | 23:47 |
| colex | corpse: may you reccommend any other app for note-taking? I really need one, however Tomboy is not what I'm lookin for. | 23:47 |
| roadie | Slart: gotcha, thanks for nothin lol | 23:47 |
| Slart | clrg: geo ip information seems like a reasonable idea | 23:47 |
| Conan | QUESTION: When I choose "show controls" in Movie Player when a video is not showing the controls, it stretches the player 100% vertically while shrinking the video's horizontal width to the proper size. This sucks. I dont want the player to stretch out and leave large black bars above the video. How do I fix this? See this image -> http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/8161/screenshot7tu.png This image should not have those black bars at | 23:47 |
| calibre | Is anyone here good with unrealircd? | 23:47 |
| iceroot | !anyone | calibre | 23:47 |
| ubottu | calibre: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:47 |
| clrg | Slart: Unreliable | 23:48 |
| Slart | clrg: when you're asking irc-bots for weather updates you're on pretty shaky ground already =) | 23:48 |
| bezdomni | colex: Tiddlywiki is cool. You could also use TeX in Emacs :P | 23:48 |
| calibre | I keep getting this error in unrealircd unrealircd.conf:798: loadmodule src/modules/m_cloakhost.so: failed to load: tmp/2BED425C.m_cloakhost.so: undefined symbol: hidehost can anyone help with this? | 23:48 |
| calibre | sorry to go off topic. | 23:49 |
| cyberpunk_ | man that was nasty, taking a shower in such a shitty shower | 23:49 |
| colex | bezdomni: thanks bezdomni LaTex is so complicated, I'll try Tiddlywiki | 23:49 |
| ki__ | uh oh .. upgraded to 10.4 and now i'm getting grub rescue prompt | 23:49 |
| ki__ | i downloaded the rescue remix cd | 23:49 |
| ki__ | the regular format command doesn't seem to be on it ... I don't know which drives are what so i can mount properly | 23:50 |
| nfotec | calibre - ngircd works | 23:50 |
| ki__ | anyone familiar with this happening? | 23:50 |
| clrg | Slart: I guess you are from Sweden. Why don't you try http://www.weatherforecastmap.com/sweden/stockholm/ | 23:50 |
| bezdomni | colex: It ain't so bad. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX good luck :) | 23:50 |
| cyberpunk_ | i did not expect a 45 dollar hotel to be so filthy =/ | 23:50 |
| calibre | nfotec: i mean how do i fix that error. | 23:50 |
| ki__ | I have dual boot windows ... on one disk, and two other disks software raid for linux | 23:50 |
| ki__ | i need to rewrite my MBR | 23:50 |
| === cyberpunk_ is now known as Requiem1 | ||
| Slart | clrg: oh.. thanks.. but I've got a window =) it was roadie that was looking for weather information =) | 23:50 |
| |corpse| | Im having problems installing from a USB. the UNetbootin screen comes up and i can only use default or help (everything else just does nothing when clicked) When i hit default it will load the kernal and bring me to the language selection screen, but i think it just freezes there | 23:50 |
| ki__ | but i'm not sure which disks to use to mount /boot and /root from the rescue disk | 23:51 |
| Requiem1 | ups wrong channel | 23:51 |
| ki__ | how can i figure that out? Normally I would use 'format' | 23:51 |

| nfotec | calibre - you got undef error in m_cloakhost.so search google. possibly missing dev package | 23:52 |
| calibre | nfotec: Search it for what specifically? | 23:52 |
| clrg | Slart: Well, that window won't help you much. Its just past midnight | 23:52 |
| Slart | Conan: smells like a bug.. have you searched launchpad? I doubt that is some kind of feature | 23:52 |
| Slart | clrg: well.. that's true.. I can stick my head out though =) | 23:53 |
| Slart | Conan: this one seems appropriate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/534083 | 23:53 |
| funkyHat | Irunongames: in rhythmbox, click on the ipod, then select all songs with ctrl+a, then drag them across to the library | 23:53 |

| Diazz | Hi, is anyone using samba with Ubuntu 10.04? | 23:54 |
| vlt | Axilus: Make sure the cronjob runs as a user with an existing .unison directory or you'll have to resolve conflicts afterwards | 23:54 |
| arand | BrainDance: Found it -> gnome-app-install | 23:54 |
| clrg | Slart: And it looks like roadie is from the US. Weird 24.180.0.0/16 range.. That country is too big in order to find a wheather forecast for his region. | 23:54 |
| vlt | !anyone | Diazz | 23:54 |
| ubottu | Diazz: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:54 |
| Irunongames | funkyHat, does it happen all at once or slowly? | 23:55 |
| funkyHat | Irunongames: it takes a while, depends how many songs you have on the iPod | 23:55 |
| Irunongames | Ok thanks :D | 23:55 |
| * Irunongames huggles funkyHat | 23:55 | |
| Slart | clrg: I'm guessing that number he added to the weather command is some kind of postal code.. I would assume ubottu would only recognize south african postal codes if any =) | 23:55 |
| === madjoe1 is now known as madjoe | ||
| funkyHat | Irunongames: hold on, you do want to actually copy the files off of your iPod, right? | 23:55 |
| Irunongames | yea | 23:56 |
| clrg | !vlc | Conan | 23:56 |
| funkyHat | Cool | 23:56 |
| ubottu | Conan: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS2 (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 23:56 |
| Irunongames | Thanks for the help :) | 23:56 |
| Diazz | fair enough :) I used samba with ubuntu 9.10 which worked fine. After i did a clean install og 10.04 and installed samba again it didt. I can't get access from windows to shared files | 23:56 |
| clrg | Conan: Try that one instead of Movie Player | 23:56 |
| vlt | Diazz: With the very same conf file? | 23:57 |
| BrainDance | arand, could I just apt-get that? | 23:57 |
| Conan | clrg: thanks, but I know what VLC is and I asked about Movie Player (Totem). I was asking a very specific question. I didnt ask for a media player alternative to Totem. Thanks anyway. | 23:57 |
| Conan | Please dont bot me again. | 23:57 |
| colex | bezdomni: it's web oriented, thanks but ... , wow, I really need something not web-oriented | 23:57 |
| BrainDance | just tried it, apparently not | 23:57 |
| Diazz | vlt dont know. I didn't have to edit any config when i used ubuntu 9.10 | 23:57 |
| arand | BrainDance: I was able in karmic, not sure if it's still there in lucid, but try. | 23:57 |
| BrainDance | how do I get gnome-app-install? | 23:57 |
| BrainDance | hmmmm | 23:58 |
| BrainDance | seems like there has to be a way to force it | 23:58 |
| bezdomni | colex: Ah, I wasn't sure about that. | 23:58 |
| vlt | Diazz: Compare the conf files. You can use `diff` for example | 23:58 |
| bezdomni | colex: look up xournal | 23:59 |
| arand | BrainDance: Also, it will pop up in the admin menu instead, so if you want you'll have to move it "sudo aptitude install gnome-app-install" | 23:59 |
| Diazz | vlt dont have the old conf :/ | 23:59 |
| bezdomni | my abstract algebra professor used it as his lecture notes | 23:59 |
| bezdomni | on xubuntu, it worked pretty well for that class - I imagine it may be what you are looking for | 23:59 |
