| clrg | BrainDance: Try "sudo !!" | 00:00 |
| BrainDance | woah | 00:00 |
| BrainDance | hey... its actually doing anything | 00:00 |
| BrainDance | something* | 00:00 |
| BrainDance | what did that sudo !! actually do? lol | 00:01 |
| clrg | BrainDance: Repeat your last command as root. | 00:01 |
| nishanth | i need help playing an online live streaming video that uses microsoft media server plugin | 00:01 |
| BrainDance | I'm good at copy/pasting commands but, not at knowing whats actually going on | 00:01 |
| nishanth | can someone help plz? | 00:01 |
| BrainDance | ah, makes sense, thanks :) looks like it worked, or at least did something | 00:01 |
| unop | BrainDance, ouch, that's pretty dangerous. | 00:01 |
| BrainDance | yeah, true unop | 00:01 |
| BrainDance | I'm working on it though! | 00:02 |
| clrg | unop, BrainDance: sudo is nothing dangerous. Besides, you need root level permissions in order to use apt or dpkg. Just always check your commands twice before running them as root. | 00:03 |
| colex | bezdomni: yep, this is it! thanks this is what I was looking for, thank you | 00:03 |
| nathrite | Hi, I R STUPID, what is a good resource to learn more about linux from? | 00:03 |
| bezdomni | colez: np. glad to help :) | 00:03 |
| MariusAZ | nathrite: Books | 00:03 |
| MariusAZ | It's like the internet, but printed on paper | 00:03 |
| clrg | nathrite: Check out the O'Reilly books | 00:03 |
| nathrite | Any specific one, there are a lot.. | 00:04 |
| unop | clrg, running commands (especially under sudo) that people give you over IRC without knowing what they do exactly is not dangerous? | 00:04 |
| MariusAZ | Ehh, O'Reilly hasn't published good books in years | 00:04 |
| froglet | when installing Linux, does the MBR still need to be near the beginning of the disk partition? | 00:04 |
| BrainDance | I did take a class in Linux about 5 or 6 years ago, back when I was still in high school, but back then my conclusion after the class was "linux is a waste of time, everything takes 10 times as long to accomplish and theres no point to it" | 00:04 |
| avg_guy | stupid nintendo 64 emulator doesnt work (gmameui) | 00:04 |
| un214 | I must agree with unop that sudo !! is dangerous | 00:04 |
| grumbly | What is a good usenet client? | 00:04 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | Is there any special way I can run firefox and direct any errors to a file? Ive tried "firefox > errors.txt" but it winds up empty. Im trying to figure out why my parents computer is having issues with the monitor blacking out at random times online. | 00:04 |
| BrainDance | so after that, I kind of forgot everything | 00:04 |
| froglet | in the old days, the MBR had to be within the first 1024 cyl or something | 00:04 |
| BrainDance | until one day busting a computer and only having a ubuntu disk, then I realized how much things have changed, and I have to relearn everything :( | 00:05 |
| arand | BrainDance: That rather sounds like multiple package managers might be active at the same time is that the case? | 00:05 |
| clrg | unop: I see your point. Try "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1; init 6" =D =D =D | 00:05 |
| Docolero_ | nathrite, try http://ubuntu-manual.org/ if you are really new to ubuntu | 00:05 |
| un214 | froglet: MBR is always the first sector. In the early days /boot in its intirety had to be within the first 1024 cyls | 00:05 |
| Andorin | Question: Is there a distro (or version of Ubuntu) that can be booted live from a CD or USB drive, and that includes the necessary packages for Gparted to edit ntfs partitions? | 00:05 |
| BrainDance | arand I have absolutely no idea :P | 00:05 |
| Arphetic | Anyone here fimilar with KQlives? | 00:05 |
| Irunongames | funkyHat, where are songs stored in the files? | 00:05 |
| colex | bezdomni: ok, I'd better do my homework :) , thank you again and good bye | 00:05 |
| sidney | Is there a way to install Ubuntu without all the programs and services? | 00:05 |
| Reyendo | @Andorin, there's a live cd version of Gparted | 00:06 |
| arand | BrainDance: Close synaptic, software centre, etc. and run the command | 00:06 |
| clrg | BrainDance: I guess your command was something like "apt-get install ... ", which installed new packages on your system. | 00:06 |
| froglet | un214 yes that's it. So I can install all of Linux after Windows 7? | 00:06 |
| unop | clrg, hah. sudo kill -1 # is better :) | 00:06 |
| sidney | No custom install option? | 00:06 |
| arand | BrainDance: "sudo aptitude install gnome-app-install" | 00:06 |
| un214 | sidney: use the minimal cd and install a command line system | 00:06 |
| BrainDance | oh, yeah arand, actually after I first ran the command, I noticed I had synaptic running | 00:06 |
| un214 | froglet: on any modern bios it works | 00:06 |
| Andorin | Reyendo: Rly? o.o A CD of just Gparted? That would be... rather useful. It'd have to have the ntfs-editing software, tho. | 00:06 |
| BrainDance | then closed it before doing sudo !! | 00:06 |
| LinuxGuy2009 | I really could use some help my mom and dad are ready to uninstall Lucid and go back to Jaunty. This is two releases in a row with bad results for them. Someone please help? | 00:06 |
| froglet | un214: ty | 00:06 |
| un214 | modern here means post-2000 | 00:06 |
| arand | BrainDance: So did it install it alright? | 00:07 |
| froglet | yes this is a new laptop | 00:07 |
| funkyHat | Irunongames: on the iPod they are in weirdly ordered folders under iPod/Library or something. When you copy them with rhythmbox it puts them in folders by artist and album and names them sensibly | 00:07 |
| clrg | unop: Just do a "umount -l /dev".. Who needs hardware xD | 00:07 |
| BrainDance | yes, indeed it did, but now I have no idea how to get to it | 00:07 |
| midas_ | Andorin, livecd should have all you need, no? | 00:07 |
| funkyHat | Irunongames: in ~/Music by default | 00:07 |
| grumbly | anyone have a recommendation on usenet readers? | 00:07 |
| Irunongames | Ok thanks :) | 00:07 |
| nathrite | <Docolero_> nathrite, try http://ubuntu-manual.org/ if you are really new to ubuntu | 00:07 |
| nathrite | <-- AngryPunk_ has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) <-- That is kind of what I'm looking for, just a bit more, err, technical. | 00:07 |
| arand | BrainDance: Administartion menu, under system | 00:07 |
| Andorin | midas_: The standard Ubuntu live CD doesn't have the ntfsprogs package, which gparted needs to resize or move an ntfs partition on a hard disk. | 00:07 |
| un214 | clrg, unop umount -l /dev sounds like a crash | 00:07 |
| BrainDance | thats where I expected it to be, but I'm only finding synaptic, I might just be being blind though | 00:08 |
| clrg | un214: Jup | 00:08 |
| BrainDance | yeah, nothing | 00:08 |
| BrainDance | but the install seemed to go fine, hmmm | 00:08 |
| un214 | Andorian: the standard cd is up well enough to run apt-get install ntfsprogs from the live cd environment | 00:08 |
| Andorin | un214: Are you able to install packages on a live CD? | 00:08 |
| * clrg should get a few hours of sleep | 00:09 | |
| un214 | Andorin: it writes them to RAM | 00:09 |
| arand | BrainDance: Well you could just run "gnome-app-install" or possibly "gksu gnome-app-install" from terminal... | 00:09 |
| lostintime | hello, I am currently on 8.04. Update manager does not offer an upgrade to 10.04 even though Software Sources does say to offer upgrades for LTS releases. If I change the option to offer all releases, Update Manager then offers to upgrade me to 8.10. If I toggle the setting back to only LTS upgrades, it doesn't offer me anything. How can I upgrade 8.04 -> 10.04 directly using update manager? | 00:09 |
| midas_ | Andorin, see also ubuntu rescue mix | 00:09 |
| Andorin | un214: Guess that works well enough for my purposes, but it'd be nice to have a permanent copy that I would be able to use sans an Internet connection. Hence my original question about a live CD that includes ntfsprogs. | 00:09 |
| === sidney is now known as sidneyu | ||
| un214 | lostintime: you don't | 00:09 |
| midas_ | Andorin, http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/ | 00:09 |
| === sidneyu is now known as sidney | ||
| lostintime | un214: why not? | 00:10 |
| un214 | lostintime either you modify /etc/apt/sources.list by hand or you do each upgrade version in turn | 00:10 |
| sidney | un214: ok i found it thanks | 00:10 |
| Andorin | midas_: Rescue mix is CLI only? | 00:10 |
| BrainDance | well, gnome-app-install gave me a command not found, gksu gnome-app-install started running something, loading mouse cursor and all that, then just quit and took me back to the terminal. | 00:10 |
| midas_ | Andorin, no | 00:10 |
| nathrite | 4chan | 00:10 |
| BrainDance | maybe its just no longer able to work in ubuntu? | 00:10 |
| randerzander | I know streams are saved in /tmp, but how can I determine the location from which they are being copied? | 00:11 |
| BrainDance | which would be a shame | 00:11 |
| lostintime | un214: no, LTS -> LTS is a supported upgrade path (evidenced by the fact an option exists in the gui settings for such) | 00:11 |
| un214 | funny last time I asked they said you couldn't skip versions | 00:11 |
| froglet | if my laptop is Intel 64 bit can I still install Ubuntu 64 bit or should I install the 32 bit one? | 00:11 |
| midas_ | Andorin, but may be easier to install to ram what you need | 00:11 |
| Flannel | un214: You can't skip versions, but LTS to LTS isn't skipping a version | 00:11 |
| Docolero_ | nathrite, then maybe this is a good place to start: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux_Guide | 00:11 |
| tvaughn | is there a way to make the sound applet in the corner of ubuntu control OSS instead of ALSA? | 00:12 |
| Flannel | un214: You can't go between 8.04 and 9.04 for instance, but you can go between 8.04 and 10.04 | 00:12 |
| un214 | froglet: yes but uness you have > 4GB ram don't bother | 00:12 |
| Flannel | un214, lostintime: also, you don't want to manually edit sources.list, there's easier ways now | 00:12 |
| un214 | in fact, Linux x86 will take up to 64GB ram by itself | 00:12 |
| Andorin | Okay, another question. My drive has a chunk of allocated space on /dev/sda2, and I need to move it to /dev/sda1. How to do this via gparted? | 00:12 |
| froglet | un214 I have exactly 4GB RAM | 00:12 |
| eye-zak | Andorin, the live cd supports merging directory trees (see Casper) so anything named foo.dir in the same path as the squashfs file will be merged into the filesystem | 00:12 |
| un214 | Flannel: I've gotten burned by do-release-upgrade one time too often now | 00:12 |
| lostintime | un214: right, you can't skip arbitrary versions, but you can go LTS -> LTS | 00:12 |
| froglet | so it's a no-go? | 00:12 |
| un214 | I let apt-get dist-upgrade sort it out now | 00:12 |
| un214 | froglet: it goes but I don't recommend it | 00:13 |
| nishanth | does anyone know how to install mms plugin for firefox? | 00:13 |
| Flannel | un214: You realise that update manager does more for you than just dist-upgrade, right? (but it does use dist-upgrade internally) | 00:13 |
| BrainDance | now, so at least I'm actually learning something, what does gksu actually do? | 00:13 |
| froglet | un214: how about the 32 bit one will that work? | 00:13 |
| Bigshot | how can i stop ubuntu from getting locked every 5mins? | 00:13 |
| un214 | unelss there's some driver problem | 00:13 |
| Andorin | Bigshot: Edit your Screensaver and Power Management preferences. | 00:13 |
| Flannel | BrainDance: gksu is the form of sudo for GUI programs | 00:13 |
| un214 | Flannel: yeah but it installes blocked packages and uninstalls other packages to unblock them | 00:14 |
| eye-zak | Bigshot: locked as in screensaver and user password ? see Screensaver prefs | 00:14 |
| BrainDance | ahhh, okay | 00:14 |
| lostintime | Flannel, un214: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading#Upgrade%20from%208.04%20LTS%20to%2010.04%20LTS suggests I pass --devel-release to update manager and then it does offer me 10.04. Must be some sort of bug... Thanks for listening! | 00:14 |
| un214 | I had to boot a rescue kernel once | 00:14 |
| froglet | well in that case I will try 64 and if it does not go well, then the 32 | 00:14 |
| Bigshot | thanks eye-zak | 00:14 |
| Bigshot | i mean Andorin | 00:14 |
| un214 | froglet: the driver issues are likely to be exactly the same with both | 00:14 |
| froglet | un214 ic ty I will forget it then | 00:14 |
| Andorin | My drive has a chunk of allocated space on /dev/sda2, and I need to move it to /dev/sda1. How to do this via gparted? | 00:15 |
| Snowe | hi everyone, im on ubuntu 10.4 lucid, and my alt pc is on winxp, im using the alt pc for minor things like running imvu 24/7, and what i wanna do is have all sound on the alt pc play on my main, without playing on the alt, while im in vnc, by using a cable going from the speaker port of the alt to the mic port on my main, my question is, is there any way i could set lucid to "listen" to the mic port and play sound from it live? kinda like | 00:15 |
| Snowe | window's "listen to device" thing? | 00:15 |
| froglet | I got the machine just for games anyway so no big disappointment | 00:15 |
| Flannel | lostintime: Right, by default LTS users wait a month or two before update-manager will ask if they want to upgrade | 00:15 |
| un214 | Andorin: I'd make the partition of exactly the same size then use dd to move it | 00:15 |
| Andorin | un214: That's not something I'm familiar with. =x | 00:16 |
| un214 | Andorin: dd means disk to disk | 00:16 |
| lostintime | Flannel: hmm, seems like a strange policy. This is expected behavior then? | 00:16 |
| un214 | dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sda1 | 00:16 |
| un214 | oh wait that looks weird | 00:16 |
| Flannel | lostintime: Having to pass it --devel-release, yeah. In a month or two (I'm not sure on the actual time) it won't be required | 00:17 |
| lostintime | Flannel: thanks, I wasn't aware of that | 00:17 |
| Andorin | un214: I'm actually remotely helping (via IM) someone with their drive. This person is a computer noob and is dual-booting Windows XP and Ubuntu, and cannot afford to screw up the drive. So I'd need EXACT commands to tell them to run. | 00:17 |
| vlt | Snowe: I think you just need to activate that in your mixer panel | 00:17 |
| woodyjlw | trying to see if there is any kind of linux email servers that you can make an email address with. I already have gmail and yahoo but want to find one that is run more by linux community not some big corporation. is there any liunx community maintained email server that is free? | 00:17 |
| un214 | Andorin: sorry I can't pull it off that well | 00:18 |
| Snowe | vlt where at? i've been looking for it for like forever x.x the port works and all but its just not playing the sound back unless i record it and play it back like that | 00:18 |
| un214 | moving a chunck of data from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1 sounds suspiciously like asking the wrong question | 00:18 |
| Andorin | un214: What I'm trying to do is move unallocated space from /dev/sda2 to /dev/sda1. | 00:19 |
| un214 | uhh unallocated should be not in a partition | 00:19 |
| Andorin | un214: Hang on, I'll link you to a screenie I'll upload in a second. | 00:19 |
| hmw | should an (apt-get installed) ffmpeg can: ffmpeg -i some.wav create.mp3 ? | 00:20 |
| iceroot | hmw: man ffmpeg | 00:20 |
| midas_ | Andorin, why he has data he needs to move? gparted does not seem what to do here | 00:20 |
| Flannel | iceroot: Please be helpful when helping | 00:20 |
| hmw | iceroot: the syntax seems correct, but can the Ubuntu version? | 00:20 |
| azbr00 | hmw: use lame | 00:20 |
| iceroot | Flannel: that was helpfull to see if an option is provided | 00:21 |
| vlt | Snowe: uncheck "mute" for "mic" in the playback section should do it | 00:21 |
| Andorin | midas_: No... we need to expand the partition on /dev/sda1 using unallocated space that currently resides on /dev/sda2. | 00:21 |
| vlt | Snowe: Try alsamixer | 00:21 |
| Flannel | iceroot: "rtfm" is not helpful, nor is it acceptable in this channel | 00:21 |
| Andorin | un214: Here's a pic of gparted displaying his drive: http://bayimg.com/image/dampkaaco.jpg | 00:21 |
| iceroot | Flannel: yeah, keep cool | 00:21 |
| nfotec | how come msg nickserv identify <your-password> no work, but if i put it in xchat before login it work? | 00:21 |
| Snowe | vlt i've been using whatever mixer is the default lol.. didnt think to try alsa, i'll give it a check though | 00:22 |
| Andorin | un214: As you can see, it reported the 8.8 GB of unallocated space as residing in /dev/sda2, which prevents him from expanding /dev/sda1 into the empty space. | 00:22 |
| Sonsee | can someone explain me why ubuntu 10.04 does not load with the latest kernel, but does with others? a have dell laptop with integrated intel video. | 00:22 |
| un214 | Andorin oh I see extended partition | 00:22 |
| nickname0-123 | can anyone here help me with ubuntu? i just recently downloaded ubuntu netbook and desktop, burned them and tried them and keep getting errors or blinking typing symbol i tried using them on two different desktops. | 00:23 |
| arthurmaciel | hi | 00:23 |
| rudane | you want to expand the ntfs partition using unallocated space from a separate hard drive? | 00:23 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee: what exactly are happens on failed boot | 00:23 |
| un214 | you can't by chance lay hands on 6.6GB of space with an old disk can you? | 00:23 |
| un214 | because the procedure is dangerous | 00:23 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, black screen after grub. | 00:24 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, nothing more | 00:24 |
| Andorin | rudane: It's not a separate drive... | 00:24 |
| woodyjlw | is there any email servers we can make an email address through that are maintained by ubuntu/linux communities? | 00:24 |
| Andorin | un214: It's possible. | 00:24 |
| amine | hi | 00:24 |
| un214 | you want to back up /dev/sda5 first in case this goes bad | 00:24 |
| amine | hey Defense|Twin, fancy seeing you here :) | 00:24 |
| rudane | I wasn't even aware gparted could expand ntfs partitions | 00:24 |
| arthurmaciel | I upgraded into 10.04 and now sound does not work. I've followed Sound Troubleshooting on wiki, but could not fix. The only message I get is on initalization that says "Starting pulseaudio: pulseaudio uses a per-user configuration", but when I check has started | 00:24 |
| Andorin | rudane: It can with the ntfsprogs package. | 00:24 |
| un214 | rudane: it doesn't have to at all | 00:24 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee: ok ... many possibilities ... there are release notes for lucid at help.ubuntu.com with solutions for known problems with intels.. have u tried any ? | 00:24 |
| HowardTheDuck | hi | 00:25 |
| un214 | if you resize the partiton next time you boot XP, XP will fix the filesystem | 00:25 |
| HowardTheDuck | can someone recommend a good terminal alternative in LXDE | 00:25 |
| HowardTheDuck | er Lubuntu | 00:25 |
| HowardTheDuck | LXTerminal sux | 00:25 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, could you please give a complete link? | 00:25 |
| un214 | HowardTheDude: I use xterm | 00:25 |
| HowardTheDuck | does it have lots of dependencies | 00:25 |
| Andorin | un214: Does "fix the filesystem" translate to "erase anything that isn't XP"? | 00:25 |
| midas_ | I search an arcade game like lego batman, lego starwars, something simple to play like with some adventure and some fighting | 00:25 |
| un214 | Andorin no | 00:25 |
| iceroot | HowardTheDuck: xterm or gnome-terminal | 00:25 |
| un214 | it sees the filesystem is smaller than the partition and grows it | 00:26 |
| HowardTheDuck | yeah, i like gnome-terminal, but i dont want gnome-dependencies on this lubuntu laptop. its sloww | 00:26 |
| vlt | HowardTheDuck: Just curious: What's wrong with lxterminal? | 00:26 |
| HowardTheDuck | i just need something else b/c lxterm doesn't let you alt-# so irssi is about useless here | 00:26 |
| Andorin | un214: So does this simply require booting XP? | 00:26 |
| un214 | no | 00:26 |
| un214 | booting XP is the last step | 00:26 |
| vlt | HowardTheDuck: Should be possible to disable that | 00:27 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, if it logs something, I could give the log, but I have no idea where to look. | 00:27 |
| HowardTheDuck | vlt: nope i've googled around, that's just te way it is in lxterm | 00:27 |
| vlt | HowardTheDuck: Oh | 00:27 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes | 00:27 |
| HowardTheDuck | vlt: no worries. i've had to replace a few apps on lubuntu already. the gnome media player stinks too hehe | 00:27 |
| InvaderZim | Fresh lucid install. KDM won't log in. XDM does, but I want the default KDM. Help? | 00:28 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee, do u know exactly what intel (or 8x vs 9x vs Poulsbo) | 00:28 |
| un214 | Andorin: ok command sequence: | 00:28 |
| Andorin | un214: So what exactly is the suggested procedure? | 00:28 |
| hmw | azbr00: thanks | 00:28 |
| un214 | command line, fdisk -l | 00:28 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, never looked, how to see? It worked always right out of the box... | 00:28 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, is there a command? | 00:29 |
| Andorin | un214: K, writing these down for future reference... next? | 00:29 |
| un214 | find the starting block of /dev/sda5. You will need this number | 00:29 |
| un214 | you will also need the starting block of /dev/sda6 | 00:30 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, yes ! | 00:30 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee, i know ... new issues with lucid kernel ... hold shift when booting to get grub prompt .. edit your default boot options to have i915.modeset=1 is what they suggest | 00:30 |
| === juju2143 is now known as Eyjafjallajokull | ||
| Sonsee | eye-zak, i remember ) | 00:30 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, does pactl list show your audio device ? | 00:30 |
| un214 | fdisk, delete /dev/sda2 | 00:30 |
| === Eyjafjallajokull is now known as Guest25995 | ||
| Sonsee | eye-zak, it`s 855gm or something like | 00:30 |
| eye-zak | Sonsee, than this is the suggested fix for u | 00:31 |
| un214 | create a new extended partition starting one cylinder (subtract 1) from the start of /dev/sda5 | 00:31 |
| Sonsee | eye-zak, thanks | 00:31 |
| un214 | create sda5 of the exact same length it's listed | 00:31 |
| Andorin | un214: What exactly is an "extended" partition? | 00:31 |
| un214 | it's what sda2 is | 00:31 |
| InvaderZim | sda2 per se is a logical partition | 00:31 |
| perberos | sata disk | 00:31 |
| InvaderZim | primary | 00:32 |
| Andorin | No, I mean, what is the definition of an extended partition? | 00:32 |
| eye-zak | Andorin, you can only have 4 primary partitions on a disk (old spec) extended was designed to address that /w backward compatability | 00:32 |
| InvaderZim | Andorin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#Extended_partition | 00:32 |
| Andorin | Right... | 00:32 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: yes - Intel ICH6 | 00:32 |
| un214 | fdisk has a bug I think so this might not quite work | 00:32 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| un214 | you will have to test mounting /dev/sda5 and if you got the placement wrong move it again | 00:33 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, ok so your main control point is Sound Preferences .. have u made sure it is setup correctly ? have u checked alsamixer to make sure everything is on ? | 00:33 |
| perberos | do you fsck? | 00:33 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: yes. I've done this many times and everything is correct. | 00:33 |
| ryoohki | is there a separate channel for fsck issues with an ext4 filesystem | 00:34 |
| InvaderZim | ryoohki: maybe ##linux | 00:34 |
| MACscr | i cant seem to be able to drag windows to different workspaces. Any ideas for what i should be looking for? | 00:34 |
| ryoohki | InvaderZim: thanks | 00:34 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, not sure what else to suggest ... does aplay play a file for you ? (try without gdm running to avoid pulse) | 00:34 |
| InvaderZim | np | 00:34 |
| Andorin | un214: This is all starting to sound wayyy too complicated. Why don't I just clone his Ubuntu install, wipe /dev/sda2, expand /dev/sda1 to give it the space he wants, then restore Ubuntu into a new partition? | 00:34 |
| duckwars | how can I change the name of a screen from a 4 digit number to a real name so I can do "screen -r rtorrent" or something like that instead of "screen -r 1394"? | 00:35 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: I suppose that's the problem. None of the player plays anything | 00:36 |
| un214 | Andorin: good idea | 00:36 |
| === Guest25995 is now known as juju2143 | ||
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, most players use pulseaudio, aplay uses only alsa (if pulse doesn't intercept) .. but probably won't work if others don't | 00:37 |
| vlt | duckwars: It's not always a 4 digit number. It's the process id. | 00:37 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: if I try: sudo service pulseaudio start it give me: PulseAudio configure for per-user session with a yellow star beside it | 00:37 |
| === angel is now known as uchiha88 | ||
| Andorin | un214: Only problem is that I was only recently introduced to cloning software... so while I've managed to successfully back up and restore an OS while testing on my laptop, I can't be sure it will go alright on his desktop. | 00:37 |
| sdeleon28 | My Ubuntu (Jaunty Jackalope) freezes whenever I try to shutdown/restart. Any ideas? | 00:37 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, pulseaudio runs as part of your user session ... disabling this is nontrivial .. just log out and do it from a real tty (aplay has limited format support it's not really a player just an alsa tester) | 00:38 |
| duckwars | vlt: so is there some way I can name the id? I did "ctrl-a A" but that doesn't rename the id | 00:38 |
| un214 | un214: use dd to a file inside a disk | 00:39 |
| vlt | duckwars: That renames the window. I faced the same problem and always give a decent name to window 0. | 00:39 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: but logging out respawns gdm again | 00:39 |
| un214 | it will yield an error while copying back if you got the size wrong | 00:39 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, switch to tty (ctrl-alt-f1) login and stop gdm | 00:39 |
| duckwars | vlt: does this mean there is no way to change the id? | 00:39 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: see you. I'll dive into tty now. Roger | 00:39 |
| vlt | duckwars: I still have to reattach it to see where I am, though ;-) | 00:40 |
| galatage | I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my new HP 8530w laptop but I am facing the issue with the brightness control keys. I am able to use the ambient light sensor keys but not able to decrease the brightness. The graphics card is Nvidia 770m. so any help? | 00:40 |
| vlt | duckwars: You can't change the provess id, no | 00:40 |
| duckwars | ahhh... I've made multiple screens, but you're saying I should have one screen and multiple windows? | 00:40 |
| acicula | you can restart pulseaudio from a console with the -D option | 00:40 |
| vlt | duckwars: You created multiple screens?!? | 00:40 |
| nishanth | does anyone know if there is a windows media player installable on linux? | 00:40 |
| vlt | duckwars: I mean instead of using multiple windows? | 00:41 |
| duckwars | vlt: well I had a screen with rtorrent, then detached, then did "screen" again... I'm not sure what to call that | 00:41 |
| vlt | duckwars: Ctrl+A,C | 00:41 |

| === Loneclock is now known as Flyingwater | ||
| vlt | kroms: my everyone's favourite player is rhythmbox | 00:42 |
| sdeleon28 | nishanth: that's gonna be a hard on to find... Try usind Wine or VirtualBox if you must use specifically that player. | 00:42 |
| kroms | vlt, thanks. I'll check it out. | 00:42 |
| sdeleon28 | hard one* | 00:42 |
| vlt | duckwars: Ctrl+a," for a list of windows, ctrl+a,<num> for the window, ctrl+a,s for split screen, yes, split screen! | 00:43 |
| nishanth | sdeleon i am actually having trbl playing an online live streaming video... can you help me find a soln? | 00:43 |
| vlt | duckwars: ,s again for even more split screen | 00:43 |
| sdeleon28 | I'm quite desperate here. My Ubuntu won't shutdown properly. I think it was something about splash, but I disabled it some time ago to no good. Any help? | 00:44 |
| sdeleon28 | nishanth: does the site specify that you must use windows media? | 00:44 |
| yosi1234 | anyone here ever run Acronis for backup? | 00:44 |
| duckwars | vlt: hmm... well I have an important video conversion going on that has been going on for sometime now, so I don't wanna do anything too complicated for fear I'll mess it up and close that window | 00:44 |
| nfotec | vlt : rhythmbox is good for podcast i think amarok is better for music though | 00:44 |

| HowardTheDuck | re | 00:45 |
| un214 | fdisk / -e | 00:46 |
| vak | but badblocks says: /dev/sda7 is mounted; it's not safe to run badblocks! | 00:46 |
| nishanth | sdeleon28 no it does not say it need any player i just assumed it might since it works on a windows media player | 00:46 |

| un214 | yeah otherwise known as recovery mode | 00:47 |
| vak | un214: ok thx | 00:48 |
| un214 | if you don't do mount / -o remount,ro it will still complain | 00:48 |

| compaq | no it didn't work | 00:53 |
| compaq | wait, should it have been a bash script, let me try again | 00:53 |
| arthurmaciel | eye-zak: raising alsamixer volume it play on great volume. | 00:53 |
| corpse | un214: thank you | 00:53 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, hmm not sure... could be alsa tweaks requiring some specific combo .. or pulse is incorrectly managing your alsa (sounds like) | 00:53 |
| eye-zak | arthurmaciel, i know some ppl had to backport new versions of alsa for lucid, hopefully that's not what u need | 00:54 |
| nfotec | i don't understand all the trouble people having with sound. i know one alsa or pulse - anywayz one plays from multiple sources even if in use, but other only play from one source or program. never had an issuse. | 00:54 |

| stokd | He got a full graphical installer on his Macbook when he installed it, I have the same one and the Try Ubuntu option isn't on the menu | 01:04 |
| stokd | Just by looking at it it's not scratched or anything, is there a utility I can use to test it? | 01:04 |
| nfotec | option to test disk shows up when you boot from cd i think | 01:05 |
| actionParsnip | stokd: the first boot screen will allow you to test the disk. If the CD fails the test then the data is corrupt in some way and would explain why you are getting issues | 01:05 |
| stokd | Ok I'll try that. Just out of curiosity, is there a way to try ubuntu and boot it from a USB drive? | 01:06 |
| nfotec | many users mess up when burning iso to cd in windows - i always recommend a program called magicISO it works. | 01:06 |

| Dmstrdj | how is that done acicula | 01:10 |
| nfotec | Horus : virtualbox do that i think | 01:10 |
| acicula | Horus, install each distro to each own partition, and instead of normal install each distributions boatloader on just its own partition (instead of the MBR) except one which chainloads the other distros | 01:10 |

| scunizi | I need some grub2 help.. and I've read the ubottu link already thanks.. next to "quiet splash" in the kernel boot line I need to add pci=nomsi to make my machine boot.. on 9.10 there was /boot/grub/grub.cfg I could edit for a single boot, then modify the right file and sudo update-grub but 10.04 doesn't have a grub.cfg at all.. looks like a binary file.. how do I do this.. | 01:27 |
| Chak82 | when i was exec in terminal the next command "sudo gdebi frostwire..." the console sends me an error message | 01:27 |
| yc1494 | if i use the dual boot option for installing ubuntu, will i loose all my data? | 01:27 |
| Chak82 | "sun-jre... does not installed" | 01:27 |
| Typos_King | nishanth: by default I don't think mplayer has a frontend, I use Xine-ui, works quite well, many also prefer vlc, so pick there | 01:28 |
| Chak82 | how can i install it? | 01:28 |
| nfotec | java-6-openjre jde is installed on my lucid i see nothin' wrong with it. | 01:28 |
| onetinsoldier | there are two gui frontends for mplayer | 01:28 |
| undecim | scunizi: editting grub.cfg will make the effect permanent until the next upgrade. | 01:29 |
| Chak82 | nfotec: did you install it with synaptic? | 01:29 |
| nfotec | perhaps you get sun java by downloading and install netbeans with jdk and install as normal user in .java .netbeans etc. | 01:29 |
| scunizi | undecim: there is no grub.cfg on 10.04 that I can find | 01:29 |
| undecim | scunizi: What you probably want to do is hold down shift on boot to get to the grub menu and use "e" to edit the boot line to change it for just one boot. Then edit /etc/default/grub if that worked and run sudo update-grub to make in permanent. | 01:29 |

| scunizi | undecim: I get a grub rescue prompt | 01:31 |
| nfotec | hold on.. | 01:31 |
| undecim | scunizi: In that case, grub must be on your other *buntu install. | 01:31 |
| actionParsnip | maelaian: ok so we now know its not profile related. I'd try reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop metapackage | 01:31 |
| scunizi | you mean the other drive? | 01:32 |
| maelaian | actionParsnip: I will give that a try. | 01:32 |

| Chak82 | nfotec: i was register a $JRE_HOME and $JAVA_HOME in .bashrc in my work folder (/home/user) | 01:32 |
| scunizi | undecim: you mean the other drive? .. this problem install was the last one to be installed .. I believe it installed grub to sda1 but root, swap and home are on sdb | 01:32 |
| nishanth | Typos_King well this was a different issue i asked help for | 01:32 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: you might try.... winff | 01:33 |
| nfotec | i don't think people use $JAVA_HOME anymore | 01:33 |
| maelaian | actionParsnip: is sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop enough? | 01:33 |
| undecim | scunizi: I think you should download and run that boot info script... 1 sec let me find a link. | 01:33 |
| scunizi | undecim: last OS to be installed is suppose to write the "used" grub. | 01:33 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: sorry, wrong nick | 01:33 |
| onetinsoldier | nishanth: you might try --> winff | 01:33 |

| undecim | scunizi: Make sure that grub on sda is pointing to the proper file on the latest install. | 01:35 |
| midas_ | why libpng.so.3 is not found by my program | 01:35 |

| onetinsoldier | nishanth: oh, it's an online streaming video eh. not sure i can help very much with that | 01:35 |
| nishanth | ok | 01:36 |
| undecim | scunizi: If it's pointing to the right file and the file doesn't exist, sudo update-grub should create it. | 01:36 |
| onetinsoldier | nishanth: do you have a link to it? | 01:36 |
| nfotec | yes, you can define export JAVA_HOME=WhereverYOUrJDK installed | 01:36 |
| scunizi | undecim: but if I'm in a live cd environment how to I do that.. I don't want to update the livecd grub | 01:36 |

| Appl6 | Distrogasm: In the interest of stability, Ubuntu uses old software. If you want newer software, either enable the Testing repositories, choose another distribution, manually download .debs if they're offered, or compile them from source. | 01:42 |

| midas_ | actionParsnip, /usr/lib/libpng.so.3: broken symbolic link to `libpng12.so.0'... :) that tells something! | 01:44 |

| scunizi | undecim: AHRG! got the grub rescue prompt again.. would that mean that grub is probably on the wrong partition? | 02:04 |
| scunizi | undecim: the boot loader that is? | 02:04 |
| undecim | scunizi: hmm.... | 02:04 |
| scunizi | not the file we just created | 02:04 |

| joseAway | Where can I find documentation about installing Ubuntu from an SD card? | 02:05 |
| undecim | scunizi: Can you go back to the LiveCD, run that boot script again, and give me a paste bin of the complete output? | 02:05 |
| joseAway | I don't have a CD drive | 02:05 |
| stianhj | Guest18708: Are you using 10.04? | 02:05 |
| Guest18708 | yeah | 02:05 |
| duckwars | everytime I want to make a keypairing with a new host, do I have to run ssh-keygen, or can I use the same one for many servers? | 02:06 |
| stianhj | Guest18708: Somebody correct me, but I don't think 10.04 has Sun JRE packages anymore? OpenJDK works fine.. | 02:06 |
| undecim | scunizi: Yeah, that may be the issue. If we just configured the grub on /dev/sdb and there is a grub on /dev/sda, sda will take precedence. | 02:06 |
| jar349 | sun jre is in the partner repos now | 02:06 |
| Odd-rationale | Hello! Can you still do a cli install from the 10.04 alternative disc? I no longer find the option in the boot menu. Thanks! | 02:06 |
| onetinsoldier | stianhj: 10.04 does have sun-java6 available. you have to enable the 'partner' repo | 02:07 |
| scunizi | undecim: brb.. phone | 02:07 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: you mean like a server install? without the gui? | 02:08 |
| === charlespito is now known as pitoow | ||
| stianhj | Guest18708: Enable 'partner' repo.. or try OpenJDK.. | 02:08 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: the alternate install cd only uses the cli for the actual install if I recall correctly | 02:08 |
| karsten | Hrm..... ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/kbd.so: No such file or directory | 02:08 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: yes. without a gui. | 02:09 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: the alternate desktop install will do a text mode install, when the install is finished you'll end up with the regular desktop ubuntu ie with gnome and so on | 02:09 |
| scunizi | undecim: back and starting the boot into the live cd.. | 02:09 |
| CaptainTrek | is there an option to copy settings over from other operating systems that are detected on the drive when installing/booting Lucid | 02:10 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: well, it used to be on the boot option, you could select to use a cli install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems#Execute installation | 02:10 |
| Guest18708 | stianhj, ok will give it a try thanks | 02:10 |
| chalcedony | i can't figure out why evince is closing off / graying out File > Properties > Print Setup and > Print .. the printer works ok from Open office docs | 02:10 |
| Barridus | CaptainTrek, yea i think it asks you to in the installer. (never used it though) | 02:10 |
| CaptainTrek | Barridus: mmkay. what about switching the buttons from the left side to the right? | 02:11 |
| killown | there is any howto to encrypt entire partition / ? | 02:11 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainTrek: you can just change themes... or | 02:11 |
| onetinsoldier | !controls | CaptainTrek | 02:11 |
| ubottu | CaptainTrek: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 | 02:11 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: I don't think you can do anything *other* than a text mode install with the alternate install cd.. have you actually tried it? | 02:11 |
| Barridus | CaptainTrek, not sure if "minor" stuff like that transfers. should be easy enough to set up manually | 02:11 |
| CyL | Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? | 02:11 |
| undecim | killown: encrypting the entire partition is a bit of a headache, but it can be done with dm-crupt and LUKS | 02:12 |
| scunizi | undecim: to give you an idea how the system is setup.. sdb has xp, both roots for ubuntu and kubuntu 10.04 and /home for kubuntu.. sda is entirely /home for ubuntu .. we're working on the kubuntu install.. I tried to update it last night but that failed because of some kernel mods in 9.10 and dkms messing with the new kernels. so I decided to fresh install reusing my old /home | 02:12 |
| mcl0vin | Can i update my kernel from 2.6.31-14-generic to the 2.6.32.21-generic and still be in 9.10? if yes how please? | 02:12 |
| killown | undecim ok | 02:12 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: i don't mean a text-mode installation. I mean a minimum installation. No X. | 02:12 |
| undecim | killown: That should give you some keywords you can google for a tutorial if you want. | 02:12 |
| CyL | Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? | 02:12 |
| onetinsoldier | mcl0vin: you'd have to find a ppa for Karmic that has that version of kernel packaged for Karmic i think | 02:12 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: then you're looking for the minimal install cd.. or a server install cd.. the difference between the alternate install and the regular install is just the install process.. the finished system is the same | 02:13 |
| Slart | !minimal | Odd-rationale | 02:13 |
| ubottu | Odd-rationale: 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 | 02:13 |
| vlt | killown: It's dm-crypt, actually | 02:13 |
| killown | undecim, vlt thanks | 02:13 |
| junquan | hello | 02:13 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: Ok. I was just wondering whether they took out the option to do a minimum installation using the alternative disc as it used to be... | 02:13 |
| vlt | killown: And it's only one "cryptsetup" command. | 02:14 |
| scunizi | undecim: ok.. I'm in the live cd | 02:14 |
| undecim | scunizi: Did you specify a different place to put the bootloader when you installed? | 02:14 |
| scunizi | undecim: nope | 02:14 |
| onetinsoldier | mcl0vin: you can look around here to see if you can find one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas | 02:14 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: oh.. I have no idea about that.. I've always used the minimal install cd for doing that | 02:14 |
| Odd-rationale | Slart: ok. thanks! | 02:14 |
| Slart | Odd-rationale: you're welcome | 02:14 |
| scunizi | undecim: I appriciate you sticking with me.. :) | 02:14 |
| undecim | scunizi: Alright. run that boot script again, and give me a pastebin of the entire output. | 02:15 |
| Barridus | i'm assuming the "ubuntu-standard" package isn't really needed to keep, right? (i'm pruning some packages i'll never ever need and it pops up as also required to remove since some of the unused packages "depend" on it) | 02:15 |
| undecim | scunizi: np. I don't like to leave things unfinished. | 02:15 |
| Slart | Barridus: you mean ubuntu-desktop? | 02:15 |
| Barridus | slart, no ubuntu-standard | 02:15 |
| Slart | !info ubuntu-standard | 02:15 |
| ubottu | ubuntu-standard (source: ubuntu-meta): The Ubuntu standard system. In component main, is standard. Version 1.197 (lucid), package size 30 kB, installed size 60 kB | 02:15 |
| Slart | oh.. never noticed that one before.. | 02:16 |
| junquan | I'm in the live usb,looks good | 02:16 |
| Flannel | Barridus: No, you don't need to worry about keeping it | 02:16 |
| Barridus | i think it's like ubuntu-standard but not related to gnome (kubuntu and server also have it) | 02:16 |
| undecim | Barridus: That package does nothing but require packages | 02:16 |
| nfotec | what command that bot use for that??? | 02:16 |
| Barridus | err like ubuntu-desktop | 02:16 |
| Slart | it's probably similar to ubuntu-desktop.. in that case you don't really need it | 02:16 |
| undecim | Barridus: exactly like ubuntu-desktop, but with different packages | 02:16 |
| Barridus | thanks Flannel an undecim | 02:16 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: !info <package_name> | 02:17 |
| Barridus | i won't be needing ppp, cron, etc. wanna get rid of stuff like that | 02:17 |
| mcl0vin | onetinsoldier: thank you for your response ! | 02:17 |
| * mcl0vin reading | 02:17 | |
| nfotec | onetinsoldier: thanks i try it | 02:17 |
| Slart | Barridus: no cron? isn't that kind of .. vital? | 02:17 |
| * Guest18708 slaps you around with a large trout. | 02:17 | |
| Barridus | Slart, not if you use fcron (cron never worked for me so i ditched it) | 02:17 |
| === pepee_ is now known as pepee | ||
| Barridus | at least i don't think it's vital | 02:18 |
| Slart | Barridus: ahh.. I see.. | 02:18 |
| onetinsoldier | mcl0vin: sure, you're welcome. i'm not familiar with adding ppas. i once added the getdeb ppa and all i did was download a .deb for it that did everything for me automagically. good luck! :-) | 02:18 |
| Barridus | Slart, ubuntu-standard is the only thing that gets removed with cron, so i assume that's the case? | 02:18 |
| scunizi | undecim: http://paste.ubuntu.com/438594 | 02:19 |
| Slart | Barridus: it might be that fcron can replace cron.... when it comes to dependencies | 02:19 |
| undecim | scunizi: Alright, here's the problem. Grub on /dev/sda is looking for a non-existent partition... | 02:20 |
| Barridus | yeah it doesn't seem to be related dependency-wise, Slart | 02:20 |
| scunizi | undecim: where do you see that in the file.. | 02:20 |
| Barridus | then again i'm sort of guessing here | 02:20 |
| mcl0vin | onetinsoldier: am trying to learn it. i have been trying to get my remote control to work for the past 3 wees and hoping that if i did figure it out....to help others as well so that they don;t have to suffer what i did suffer from :) | 02:20 |
| undecim | scunizi: First few lines. "Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in | 02:21 |
| undecim | partition #5 for /boot/grub. | 02:21 |
| undecim | " | 02:21 |
| brax | Hey the default webcam application doesn't recognize my webcam. :C | 02:21 |
| Guest18708 | how do you delete entries in grub 2 | 02:21 |
| brax | I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS | 02:21 |
| scunizi | undecim: AH I see that.. how do we fix it? | 02:21 |
| Barridus | removing cron did say "ureadahead will be reprofiled on next reboot". i think that's not actually indicative of a problem though | 02:22 |
| undecim | scunizi: Basically, we reinstall grub | 02:22 |
| brax | It isn't recognizing it because the folder it's supposed to be in, I think video1 or something, isn't linking with the webcam... | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | mcl0vin: oh, i see. sounds painful. i hope you figure it out so that the time you've spent isn't all wasted! | 02:22 |
| brax | Has anyone else ever had this problem? | 02:22 |
| scunizi | undecim: undecim ok.. | 02:22 |
| undecim | scunizi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows would be the right page to follow (even though it mentions windows, it's the same principle) | 02:23 |
| mcl0vin | onetinsoldier: and my child is 3 weeks old :) , didn't spend time with his as i did with lirc | 02:23 |
| mcl0vin | :) | 02:23 |
| undecim | scunizi: In the livecd, mount the drive by opening it in a file browser. | 02:23 |
| scunizi | undecim: I'm looking at the following about 75-80% down the page looks like 2 steps | 02:24 |
| scunizi | undecim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 02:24 |
| onetinsoldier | mcl0vin: lol, well you better get to spending some time with him it sounds like :) | 02:25 |
| undecim | scunizi: Yeah, that link will do it. | 02:25 |
| undecim | reinstalling with the right root-directory option will make it look for the right partition. | 02:25 |
| Distrogasm | how guys i am on ubuntu 9.04, how can i add lucid repos (what is the URL ?) ? i need the latest versions of software | 02:27 |
| Barridus | Distrogasm, if you don't want to upgrade ubuntu itself, try adding backports (unsupported software) in the upgrade repositories settings | 02:28 |
| onetinsoldier | Distrogasm: to upgrade to Lucid, you would need to upgrade to 9.10 first with this command sudo update-manager -c ...i don't think just adding Lucid repos would work for you at all | 02:28 |
| scunizi | undecim: will I need to chroot again to make the required kernel line edits? | 02:28 |
| Barridus | keep in mind not everything is backported, you often need to upgrade ubuntu to get the latest everything | 02:28 |
| scunizi | undecim: not sure if it's re-writing grub.cfg | 02:28 |
| CyL | Hi, I have plans on installing ubuntu on a laptop... what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 64 bit version? | 02:29 |
| brax | Can anyone help with my question?? | 02:29 |
| scunizi | undecim: yep.. it wiped out grub.cfg | 02:29 |
| brax | CyL, the 64 bit will work faster on computers that support it, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work with 32-bit computers. | 02:30 |
| undecim | scunizi: Well, you should be able to chroot again, now that the MBR is fixed. | 02:30 |
| brax | 32-bit works with all computers, but isn't as fast as 64-bit is on computers that support it. | 02:30 |
| CyL | brax: how about binary compatibility with older software? | 02:30 |
| Docteh | !64bit | 02:30 |
| ubottu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/3jkole and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. | 02:30 |
| undecim | scunizi: Just put it back like it was | 02:30 |
| brax | Now you've lost me, CyL. | 02:30 |
| Docteh | hmmm i thought there'd be a thing on 32 vs 64 | 02:30 |
| scunizi | undecim: I take that back.. I was looking a the live cd directories.. | 02:31 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest1209 | ||
| Barridus | CyL, yeah like brax said it should be faster and more reponsive. but an additional dowside is not every non "officially supported" program on the repos may exist for 64 bit | 02:31 |
| Docteh | CyL: thats what the /lib32 dir is for | 02:31 |
| undecim | scunizi: also, just to be sure, you put grub on /dev/sda, not sdb, right? | 02:31 |
| brax | Sweet, I helped someone using advice that was correct. | 02:31 |
| scunizi | undecim: yep.. starting reboot process now | 02:31 |
| onetinsoldier | CyL: yes. most 32-bit software will work in 64-bit installation. just install the ia32libs package | 02:31 |

| Barridus | Josesordo, did you specify a new account name? | 02:49 |
| Docteh | nat is great for getting the vm access to the internet, add an adaptor that is bridged or host only | 02:49 |
| erusso | Anyone able to chat with me about some blank screen issues im having with ubuntu 10.04 on a new lenovo Y550p laptop? | 02:49 |
| Josesordo | same account name.. | 02:49 |
| MichaelKohler | Docteh: as an additional adapter? | 02:49 |
| user_ | has anyone been able to sync their ipod with Songbird? | 02:49 |
| nfotec | user_ : i think songbird for linux is dead | 02:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | user_, Songbird recently dropped linux support so it ain't coming. | 02:50 |
| nfotec | Songbird crash anywayz | 02:50 |
| user_ | no,, its still being released. just not in repositories | 02:50 |
| dankus | If anyone knows about pairing Ps3 sixaxis to xubuntu 10.04, MSG ME | 02:50 |
| ZykoticK9 | Songbird was awesome RIP | 02:50 |
| scunizi | undecim: so I changed the boot order in bios and viola it works.. thanks !!! | 02:50 |
| Docteh | MichaelKohler: you could switch to just bridged, but the nat mode is really hassle free | 02:51 |
| Josesordo | Barridus, is the same account name like before. there is a way to see my old home files?.. even with ctrl +H cant see them | 02:51 |
| Super-Man | erusso : Did you run it from Live CD with out installing to check Ubuntu 10.04 compatibility with the laptop hardware. | 02:51 |
| dankus | WTF | 02:51 |
| nfotec | ZykoticK9: use rhythmbox for podcast and Amarok for music | 02:51 |
| MichaelKohler | Docteh: I've set up a second adapter that uses bridged, but I'm getting the same error | 02:51 |
| dankus | and the psubuntu site wont even send a damn activation email | 02:51 |
| user_ | amarok sucks | 02:51 |
| undecim | scunizi: No problem. | 02:52 |
| Docteh | MichaelKohler: use the address that the brdged adaptor gets | 02:52 |
| user_ | rythmbox is much more functional | 02:52 |
| bk2 | can someone tell the keyboard shortcut to switch between languages? I can do it with a mouse, but I'd like to know the keyboard shortcut. Thanks. | 02:52 |

| mobidroid | Hi I really screwed my sound system trying to put OSS and remove alsa, now I can refind the page I followed and would like to reput ALSA back on. Aptitude is not up to the job, i removed alsa blacklist stuff in the /etc/modprobe where should i check next? | 02:52 |
| Barridus | Josesordo, you try navigating to /home and see if theres anyone else listed on the folders? | 02:52 |
| MichaelKohler | Docteh: looks good. copying file now | 02:53 |
| mobidroid | and I get : ALSA lib pulse.c:229:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused | 02:53 |
| Josesordo | Barridus, I explored all folders there..even the hidden ones.. T_T | 02:53 |
| MichaelKohler | Docteh: yeah, it works. you're great, thanks a lot | 02:54 |
| Docteh | yw | 02:54 |

| A3K | nfotec: Yep | 02:57 |
| Guest18708 | agreed? | 02:57 |
| nfotec | A3K: many web based type apps | 02:57 |
| mobidroid | A3K : then use VBOX install ubuntu on it and run your game hehe | 02:57 |
| Docteh | A3K: the toolkits are ported, the individual apps might not be | 02:58 |
| nomende | how to find out which is the latest available kernel version? | 02:58 |
| A3K | mobidroid: I'm doing that. But it is a bit harder for my Mum | 02:58 |

| Appl6 | nfotec: Watch the language. | 02:58 |

| Docteh | junk? | 02:59 |
| Docteh | whine? (bot checking ;) | 02:59 |

| Bop | Docolero_, ok | 03:36 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: well, if i wanted to know for sure you would download the source package, like this --> apt-get -d source eboard | 03:36 |
| Super-Man | ! Network Manager | Bop | 03:37 |
| ubottu | Bop: networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager | 03:37 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: I did download it, and looked into the source, but i can't tell just from the code | 03:37 |
| gerardo_ | hola | 03:37 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: then unpack it and look at it's files... if they are .c and .cpp files(or .cc) then they are c an c++ files | 03:37 |
| blue_anna | gerardo_ hola q tal? ir a #ubuntu-es para apoyo en español | 03:37 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: what file extensions are the files? | 03:37 |
| blue_anna | when I hit compose-c-c, I get č, but only in gnome apps. like right now in konversation, I had to copy and paste it. where is that being defined? | 03:38 |
| Gump | Bop: i guess just right click on the gnome bar and click "add to panel" | 03:38 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: well you have cc files, c files eboard-config.in files with .h as well, files with .1 extensions | 03:38 |
| gafir | quite a bit in fact | 03:38 |
| gerardo_ | hola | 03:38 |
| gerardo_ | hay alguien con quien platicar | 03:38 |
| blue_anna | !es > gerardo_ | 03:38 |
| ubottu | gerardo_, please see my private message | 03:38 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: .c are c files... .cc are cpp files. .h are header files(-dev files) and .1 is a man page file | 03:38 |
| nfotec | gafir: gtk apps usually are developed in C++ using Glade to build the interface and whatever texted editor programmer wants to use. | 03:38 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: oops.. .cc are c++ files | 03:39 |
| toffee | .. | 03:39 |
| gerardo_ | bueno no soy gerardo soy monica | 03:39 |
| gerardo_ | solo que se me paso | 03:39 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier nfotec: so eboard chess game is developed with c++ correct? | 03:39 |
| gerardo_ | quitar el nombre de el | 03:39 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: so, it looks like it's programmed in both c and c++ | 03:39 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: oh ok | 03:39 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: some of both.. c and c++ | 03:39 |
| nfotec | gafir: i would think so .cc at least is C++ | 03:39 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: so a program can be both C and C++? | 03:40 |
| sitwon | gafir: you said it was 'eboard', right? | 03:40 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: yes | 03:40 |
| jokecure | hello, anyone know how i can install nvidia drivers? im running ubuntu. | 03:40 |
| gafir | sitwon: yeh, eboard, a chess program | 03:40 |
| gafir | http://www.bergo.eng.br/eboard/index.php?p=2 | 03:40 |
| gafir | sitwon: see line up the url to download source | 03:41 |
| sitwon | gafir: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eboard/ | 03:41 |
| sitwon | is that the right one? | 03:41 |
| gafir | sitwon: just noticed it says: You will need a C++ compiler and the GTK 2.x libraries (any version above 2.4.0). | 03:41 |
| blue_anna | ajaj holla gerardo_ -- haz clic a #ubuntu-es y charla all´a | 03:41 |
| gafir | sitwon: but does it mean it is ONLY C++? | 03:41 |
| throughnothing | does anyone know how to change the default global copy/paste keyboard shortcuts? | 03:41 |
| sitwon | gafir: looks to me like it's all C++ | 03:42 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: that's perhaps a little misleading. a C++ compiler will compile both C and C++ almost always | 03:42 |
| bfabry | anyone got a fix for the gwibber name lookup timeout issue? | 03:42 |
| actionparsnip | jokecure: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 works well here on my 6150 onboard | 03:42 |
| jokecure | k | 03:42 |
| user_ | find diab | 03:43 |
| gafir | sitewon onetinsoldier: hehe, quite tough -- So if I want to learn it, where should I start? a book about C++ or C? | 03:43 |
| sitwon | gafir: C++ | 03:43 |
| gafir | sitwon: sounds good, any good book/resource advice? :-) | 03:43 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: even what i said there isn't really exactly true. the Gnu C and C++ Compilers are separate, but, there really isn't a system that exists that doesn't have a C Compiler. unless you're talking about a Ti-89 Calculator or something of that nature | 03:43 |
| sitwon | onetinsoldier: actually I've seen a C compiler for those | 03:44 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: thanks for correcting it :-) Sounds good | 03:44 |
| onetinsoldier | sitwon: omg! incredible | 03:44 |
| pmitros | Hello. I put in a DVD into my DVD drive. Ubuntu popped up CD/DVD Creator. I dragged a bunch of root-owned read-only files, and happily burned them to a DVD. Now, CD/DVD Creator is populated with a bunch of locked files that I cannot remove. How do I fix this? | 03:45 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: yes... you will probably spend a lot of time to learn it i imagine, but yes. books, tutorials, ect | 03:45 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: you might want to get a good IDE.. like 'codeblocks' | 03:45 |
| jokecure | actionparsnip, will it work for a geforce ti4600? | 03:45 |
| IdleOne | What is the path for application icons? | 03:45 |
| sitwon | gafir: http://www.learncpp.com/ http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ http://www.amazon.com/C-Programming-Language-Special/dp/0201700735/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274669099&sr=8-4 | 03:45 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: will look into this "codeblocks" | 03:46 |
| gafir | sitwon: twow, thanks for the links :-) | 03:46 |
| sitwon | eclipse is a decent IDE too | 03:46 |
| gafir | sitwon: is the book your favourite? | 03:46 |
| nfotec | gafir: anything like BabasChess for linux with network gaming? | 03:46 |
| gafir | nfotec: that's what eboard is | 03:46 |
| nfotec | gafir: don't look like it | 03:47 |
| gafir | nfotec: you can also try "Jin" which is a Java Client | 03:47 |
| sitwon | gafir: favorite? no. But it's the only intro C++ book I've actually read, and the author is something of an authority on the subject. | 03:47 |
| gafir | nfotec: well it's less advanced than babaschess unfortunately | 03:47 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: go with C++ would be my recommendation. C is still used, but it's used for things like device drivers, not so much for apps anymore. C is very fast, but takes a lot more coding i think. it's a procedural language, where C++ is an Object Oriented language | 03:47 |
| crdlb | IdleOne: /usr/share/icons/THEME/SIZE/apps/ ? | 03:47 |
| nfotec | gafir: does it at least have chat? | 03:47 |
| Super-Man | pmitros : Just kill it. | 03:47 |
| gafir | nfotec: you can talk with command "say" or "tell user" or "shout" etc, but no chat per say | 03:47 |
| dirtyarab | hey everyone : ) | 03:48 |
| IdleOne | crdlb: thanks I'll take a look | 03:48 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier/sitwon: many thanks for all the recommendations | 03:48 |
| === jrcarr2 is now known as jamescarr | ||
| actionparsnip | jokecure: you may want the 173 driver | 03:48 |
| sitwon | gafir: the author's bio http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjarne_Stroustrup | 03:48 |
| pmitros | super: Kill what? I'm not finding an applicable process | 03:48 |
| jokecure | anyone know if this will work for a geforce ti4600? sudo add-apt-repository:nvidia-vdpau/ppa; sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-185 | 03:48 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: but C++ is a supset of C... even though it approach to programming is different. this means, it can do everything that C can | 03:48 |
| gafir | sitwon: thanks :-) | 03:48 |
| dirtyarab | anyone have any ideas why my sound goes from minor crackle to major to system freeze ubuntu 10.04 full install | 03:48 |
| dirtyarab | during games and music | 03:48 |
| nfotec | gafir: well that good, babaschess is unreal good - hard to beat. | 03:48 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: sounds good, will look into both before I dive in :-) | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: you're welcome.. good luck. i can send you some stuff if you want it. i have materials :-) | 03:49 |
| crdlb | IdleOne: every app should install a fallback icon in hicolor, but it might be overridden by your icon theme | 03:49 |
| gafir | nfotec: that's why I want to learn C++, so that I can make a better chess app on linux :-) in 10 years haha | 03:49 |
| IdleOne | crdlb: I am making a custom launcher and I don't like the default icon it uses | 03:49 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: because i thought about starting to learn it myself, but haven't yet dipped into it ;-) | 03:49 |
| sitwon | gafir: if you have zero programming experience, I recommend you start here first http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6B940F08B9773B9F | 03:49 |
| eianpsego | Is there a Ubuntu 10 server edition for 32 bit processors? | 03:49 |
| jatt | don't learn c++ it's a waste of time. | 03:49 |
| gafir | onetinsoldier: we should start a C++ learning club | 03:49 |
| crdlb | I think discussing programming languages is a bit offtopic for this channel | 03:50 |
| gafir | sitwon: I have experience programming php, and object-oriented actionscript 3.0 | 03:50 |
| sitwon | jatt: why would say that? if you want to maintain appications written in c++ it's helpful to know the basics | 03:50 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: hehe | 03:50 |
| nfotec | gafir: i never graps the concept of lin app development using diff programs to build interface and text editor for code, seem so early 90's | 03:50 |
| gafir | sitwon: it's just C++ looks quite different overall, thanks for the link though | 03:50 |
| sitwon | gafir: Richard Buckland's lectures are good for people with no formal programming training | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | crdlb: thanks for the help :) | 03:51 |
| nfotec | gafir: but i am amazed how small those c++ linux programs actually are the source code i mean. | 03:51 |
| sitwon | if you've already taken a class or two you can dive right in to C/C++ | 03:51 |
| jokecure | does anyone know how to install nvidia drivers for a geforce ti4600? i keep getting an error message when i try to run the download | 03:51 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: well, check out codeblocks, it's a graphical Integrated Development Environment | 03:51 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: it combines all that into a gui | 03:52 |
| xomp | hi, I have a folder with a bunch of png files that I would like to copy to another folder with the same name and same filenames and overwrite them. Can I do this from the command line? I've tried cp but it's not actually moving any of them | 03:52 |
| * Flare-Laptop uses emacs | 03:52 | |
| pmitros | Oh. Got it. | 03:52 |
| gafir | nfotec/sitwon/onetinsoldier: Thanks again for all the links, recommendations, advice, and insights | 03:52 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: you're welcome :) | 03:52 |
| Docolero_ | is there something like kdevelop for GNOME? Thats what I used back in the days...or simply vim ;-) | 03:52 |
| sitwon | nfotec: do you use Vim or Emacs? | 03:52 |
| nfotec | onetinsoldier: will try it out, right now i'm trying to learn to use spe for simple python gafir - good luck with your project | 03:53 |
| dirtyarab | anyone that can help with crackling sound eventually leading to a complete freeze :( | 03:53 |
| uLinux | good night | 03:53 |
| onetinsoldier | gafir: btw, i typo'd earlier supset = superset | 03:53 |
| rjb | what is x window system (no xv) option? | 03:53 |
| blue_anna | I'm trying to get the compose key to work with Konversation. this app is the one app I use from kde :) I followed the isntructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComposeKey -- except not the kde system settings part because I dont have the whole kde wm installed. | 03:53 |
| blue_anna | now not only do I not get the compose key, but my dead keys aren't dead any more :P ´a would have come out as á in gedit | 03:54 |
| nfotec | Docolero: kde development is easier i think, dat why we so much kde stuff? | 03:54 |
| gafir | nfotec / onetinsoldier / sitwon: thanks! | 03:54 |
| blue_anna | only in konversation is this the problem, the configuration worked for every other app on my system | 03:54 |
| onetinsoldier | xomp: hello, anyone helped you yet? | 03:54 |
| sitwon | gafir: np | 03:54 |
| sitwon | nfotec: Qt and GTK apps work just fine in BOTH Gnome and KDE. There is no reason to ONLY use GTK with Gnome or Qt with KDE. | 03:55 |
| xomp | onetinsoldier, no sir, I tried but I get the error "are the same file | 03:56 |
| xomp | " all the time | 03:56 |
| sitwon | you shouldn't chose the your widget toolkit based on your desktop environment | 03:56 |
| gafir | sitwon: this introductory course looks really interesting though, thanks: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=6B940F08B9773B9F | 03:56 |
| onetinsoldier | xomp: are you wanting to move the files? or just copy over with an overwrite? | 03:56 |
| nfotec | sitwon: i agree, also wx widgets look good to me but windowish | 03:56 |
| xomp | copy with an overwrite | 03:56 |
| onetinsoldier | xomp: ok, use --> cp -fv | 03:57 |
| Docolero_ | nfotec, i used kdevelop for a server component, so no KDE stuff was involved. It was just easier to switch from visual studio to kdevelop than e.g. directly to vi | 03:57 |
| nfotec | Docoler_: brb... | 03:57 |
| onetinsoldier | xomp: the -f is for 'force', -v is verbose | 03:57 |
| sitwon | Docolero_: Eclipse? Code::Blocks? | 03:58 |
| Zelozelos | where was that list of favorites stored again (for nautilus) i accidently removed a wrong location, and now i cant re-add it...dragging and dropping is not working | 03:58 |
| xomp | onetinsoldier, thanks :) | 03:58 |
| onetinsoldier | xomp: you can read the manual for the command with... man cp | 03:58 |

| meowbuntu | what s up | 03:58 |
| crdlb | Zelozelos: ~/.gtk-bookmarks | 03:59 |
| Docolero_ | sitwon, eclipse i didn't like, but ill give codeblocks a try | 03:59 |
| Zelozelos | ty crdlb | 03:59 |
| drizzt_ | CyL, a minus: KDE | 03:59 |
| drizzt_ | CyL, everything else is the same | 03:59 |
| kzman | does ubuntu spend less energy/battery than windows or others OSs? | 03:59 |
| Docolero_ | thanks for the help | 03:59 |
| meowbuntu | i want to know if anyone has tested ubuntu 10.04 on older computers does it run better than 9.10 | 03:59 |
| nfotec | Docolero_: i am amazed at this qt? app how little code there actually is: http://freshmeat.net/projects/ah3 | 03:59 |
| CyL | drizzt_: why is it a minus? | 03:59 |
| drizzt_ | kzman, it depends on OEM | 03:59 |
| Jayd3e | question, I am trying to edit my appearance settings for a certain theme, and every time I change the color of the windows background the change doesn't take effect, why? | 04:00 |
| meowbuntu | versions after 8.04 run crap on my computer | 04:00 |
| sitwon | nfotec: you know Qt is not just a widget toolkit, it's a full build system | 04:00 |
| drizzt_ | CyL, because it's ugly, resource-hungry, buggy and incompatible with LSB technologies | 04:00 |
| Zelozelos | crdlb, umm, whats the full path? | 04:00 |
| CyL | lsb? | 04:00 |
| sitwon | nfotec: at build-time it runs a bunch of macros to generate tons of code before passing it to the compiler | 04:01 |
| Monagdl | Hello good nights!!! | 04:01 |
| meowbuntu | hellp anyideas please | 04:01 |
| nfotec | sitwon: you talk me into it, should i apt-get kdevelop or something else | 04:01 |
| dirtyarab | can anyone help with crackling sound : ) | 04:01 |
| crdlb | Zelozelos: ~/ is expanded by the shell to your home directory | 04:01 |
| sitwon | I've never used kdevelop so I don't know | 04:01 |
| crdlb | Zelozelos: ie /home/USERNAME/ | 04:01 |
| Zelozelos | ahh, ty | 04:02 |
| arooni-mobile | hi folks! for some reason i dont hear any audio on my t61 laptop . already tried restarting alsa-utils. checked that it wasnt muted. ideas? | 04:02 |
| sitwon | nfotec: I use Vim so I'm probably not the person to ask that, but I hear good things about Code::Blocks | 04:02 |
| Monagdl | There is someone in spite of whom chatting | 04:02 |
| airtonix | arooni-mobile, why are you using alsa-utils ? | 04:02 |
| nfotec | sitwon: codeblocks free? | 04:02 |
| arooni-mobile | airtonix, no idea; it was the first thing that autocompletd when i tried to restart alsa | 04:02 |
| jokecure | anyone know if i need dri 3d acceleration installed if i have nvidia drivers installed already? | 04:03 |
| sitwon | nfotec: http://www.codeblocks.org/ | 04:03 |
| airtonix | arooni-mobile, ubuntu 10.04 isn't controlled by alsa anymore | 04:03 |
| onetinsoldier | nfotec: yep.. it's free open source software | 04:03 |
| Super-Man | meowbuntu : versions after 8.04 run crap on your computer | 10.04 don't even stand a chance. | 04:03 |
| arooni-mobile | airtonix, i have the one right before that | 04:03 |
| nfotec | sitwon: i ck it out. thanks all i'm out of here it late... | 04:03 |

| Zelozelos | and in my case i couldnt re-drag it back in nautilus | 04:05 |
| airtonix | arooni-mobile, i assume you have one that says : analog stereo duplex ? | 04:05 |
| IdleOne | Zelozelos: report a bug @ launchpad.net | 04:05 |
| Zelozelos | good idea IdleOne | 04:06 |
| meowbuntu | Super-Man, well i herd that alot of bugs where ironed out and its better for older computers | 04:06 |
| Jayd3e | Super-man: I have a good enough graphics card, or do you mean I need to edit things in the graphics card gui? | 04:06 |

| meowbuntu | what about the new lubuntu | 04:07 |
| Jayd3e | Super-man: I believe I just did through the update-manager, or would I have to actually go to the graphic card manufacturer's site to download the updated version | 04:08 |
| arooni-mobile | airtonix, analog stereo duplex; should i just restart it? | 04:08 |
| arooni-mobile | airtonix, i mean restart uubntu? | 04:08 |
| airtonix | arooni-mobile, you didnt answer my question. | 04:08 |
| airtonix | arooni-mobile, in the output tab what is the connector option set to ? | 04:09 |

| airtonix | avg_guy, no | 04:11 |
| Jayd3e | Super-man: the window background changes for some themes but not the one I am trying to install | 04:11 |
| Monagdl | There is someone in spite of whom chatting | 04:11 |
| crdlb | avg_guy: what do you need a root file manager for in the first place? | 04:12 |
| jar349 | Super-Man: thanks, but my graphics card works just fine =) | 04:12 |
| airtonix | avg_guy, you can 1) install nautilus-gksu to provide "open as administrator", or 2) use a nautilus-script to do the same, or 3) launch gksudo nautilus | 04:12 |
| Super-Man | jar349 : what are you trying to install | 04:12 |
| airtonix | crdlb, why is irrelevant | 04:12 |
| [Screamo] | Can someone help me with something? | 04:12 |
| jar349 | Super-Man: nothing. I think you have me confused with someone else?? | 04:13 |
| avg_guy | well I was going to move something around but was wondering if i could auth with out opening another naut as root | 04:13 |
| Jayd3e | Super-man: were u talking to me? | 04:13 |
| Super-Man | jar349 : Theme ?? | 04:13 |

| onetinsoldier | bawww: good question. i followed the tutorial and installed the git version. however, i used 'checkinstall' to install it in case there's any problems. i use checkinstall to install any source that i compile. it makes a .deb package for you. after i installed it... winff still worked fine. don't know about kdenlive, but i would imagine it would be fine | 04:30 |

| ewp | how do i create a simple script to restart avant-window-navigator? i have a script using 'pkill awn' then runs 'avant-window-navigator' again but it exits after the pkill with 'Terminated' | 05:10 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I was just used to tab comp'g you after typing o-n-e, It took me four tries to get you, LOL | 05:10 |
| r3m | Hi all, is there a free book about ubuntu | 05:10 |
| airtonix | ewp, using && between the commands ? | 05:10 |
| mkjackson | ok, a different approach, is there a way I can get the contents of each file in a directory to be placed into one file? (IE ls | more >> somefile.txt | 05:10 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: lol! i hear ya :-) | 05:11 |
| Guest84837 | r3m, ubuntu-manual.org | 05:11 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: btw, yes - thank you. | 05:11 |
| mkjackson | ls | more only displays all the files again, is there a way to have the results of ls to be used as seperate parameters for a different instance of more? | 05:11 |
| ewp | airtonix: no, it's a shell script on a set of multiple lines. i even have a sleep 3 in between the 2 cmds | 05:11 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: sure, you're welcome :-) | 05:11 |
| airtonix | ewp, i'd just use : pkill awn && avant-window-navigator | 05:12 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I thought about hijacking your nick, but that would probably be the first stone in a war neither of us want. | 05:12 |
| r3m | thanks Guest84837: another free ubuntu book? | 05:12 |

| ShadowApex | mkjackson, you can do what you want using a simple python script | 05:14 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: see, the mere thought of subversive action results in swift rhetorek, thus disuading me of excalating further. | 05:14 |
| greezmunkey | exca...heh you get the idea. | 05:14 |
| mkjackson | ShadowApex: I don't really know python :-/ | 05:14 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: rhetoric (sp) ;-) | 05:15 |
| Guest84837 | why use ubuntu and not debian | 05:15 |
| mkjackson | ShadowApex: is there something already available somewhere? | 05:15 |
| greezmunkey | yeah, sad isn't it. | 05:15 |
| ShadowApex | mkjackson: lemme see | 05:15 |
| drizzt_ | Guest84837, because ubuntu is designed by a corporation, and debian is just a bunch of beggars | 05:15 |
| ShadowApex | mkjackson: you want to pipe all the contents of the files in a directory to a single file, correct? | 05:16 |
| mkjackson | ShadowApex: that's the idea, if there's any way that it can add a new page operator or something between files then even better | 05:16 |
| malev_ | well, the channel seems a bit quiet right now | 05:16 |

| ShadowApex | drizzt_: ifconfig | 05:18 |
| Zelda | print or view? | 05:18 |
| Appl6 | ShadowApex: "ls > file.txt" is probably preferable. | 05:18 |
| drizzt_ | ShadowApex, it's not an IP address, it's a wall of text | 05:18 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: actually, I'm into that but I can't tonight. I have two wireless quotes (the engineering for) to get ready for tomorrow. I'll be working on that tomorrow night. | 05:18 |
| Zelda | print would be to "print screen" after ifconfig | 05:18 |
| jatt | drizzt_: use giplet | 05:18 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: roger that | 05:19 |
| ShadowApex | drizzt_: ifconfig | grep inet | 05:19 |
| jatt | giplet | 05:19 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I'll be looking for some help I think, from what I've seen. | 05:19 |
| drizzt_ | ShadowApex, it's still 6 lines of arbitrary text | 05:19 |
| jatt | click on it and then "Copy IP to clipboard". No need of grep, pipes, etc. | 05:20 |
| drizzt_ | i need just numbers | 05:20 |

| drizzt_ | i need only IP part | 05:21 |
| jatt | use giplet for it | 05:21 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: can you post a cool screenshot from it? | 05:21 |
| ShadowApex | drizzt_: ok, so are you trying to use this for a script or something? Is that why you need the IP itself? | 05:21 |
| mkjackson | ShadowApex: that did the trick... I hate to push it but is there a way to also feed in a "new page" operator (is there even such a thing?) between files? the idea is that I have an entire project that I want to dump to print, line numbers would be nice and a new page for each file will make a world of difference... | 05:21 |
| tripelb | I just downloaded teh Ubuntu 9.10 onto a flash drive. I have done the hash check but only on windows. Would you please direct me to a page to do it in linux. | 05:22 |

| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: take your time, thanks. | 05:26 |
| ShadowApex | mkjackson: What do you mean by "new page"? Do you mean any arbitrary line to separate the files? | 05:26 |
| tripelb | I just downloaded teh Ubuntu 10.04 onto a flash drive. I have done the hash check but only on windows. Would you please direct me to a page to do it in linux. | 05:26 |
| mkjackson | Appl6: not really a problem but I'm basically trying to take this java project I've been studying and dump it down to text. to lessen the page count I want to print the project 4 pages to a side, double sided but if I do it one job at a time then I will be getting alot of single pages as a little square and nothing anywhere else (making the attempt moot) | 05:27 |
| tripelb | NEW PAGE means eject the sheet of paper and start on a new sheet. Obviously not just a line across the page. | 05:28 |
| tripelb | mkjackson, powerpoint? | 05:28 |
| mkjackson | tripelb: is there a character for that? hate to sound n00bish... :-( | 05:28 |
| mkjackson | I mean, I know there's a new line character but I don't think that it really works that way in plain text... :-( | 05:29 |
| tripelb | mkjackson: I know some stuff but I dont know that. But I do know that powerpoint (and maybe a clone of it) has an easy "four-up" printing ability. | 05:29 |
| Appl6 | mkjackson: This may help: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~help/doku.php?id=printing:linux_printing_guide | 05:30 |
| mkjackson | tripelb: I can get the 4 to a side/double sided working gravy but it's getting the files to be treated as one job that's the trick | 05:30 |
| Appl6 | mkjackson: Particularly at the very bottom. | 05:30 |
| ShadowApex | mkjackson: Why can't you copy-paste this code into OO or something? | 05:30 |

| toolbear | hi. say, is there a systematic procedure whereby one can turn an existing ubuntu installation into a live cd? | 05:30 |
| mkjackson | let me try that | 05:31 |
| tripelb | mkjackson, if you can stream it all to an openoffice word file than you can "Hand INsert" a "Page/newpage" "signifier" | 05:31 |
| ShadowApex | toolbear: Not really. There is remastersys though | 05:31 |

| ShadowApex | np | 05:33 |
| joseAway | tripelb: that hash is called a 'checksum' | 05:33 |
| tripelb | Shadowapex thanks for the remastersys hint. I've wanted to do that. | 05:33 |
| ShadowApex | np ;P | 05:34 |
| tripelb | joseaway, thanks. Now how do I do it. | 05:34 |

| tripelb | linux, if you do the download as a torrent, then you can. | 05:34 |

| ShadowApex | tripelb: sha1sum -c filename | 05:37 |
| tripelb | linux: if you download with a TORRENT instead of using HTTP, then you CAN pause it. | 05:37 |
| drizzt_ | great! | 05:37 |
| joseAway | tripelb: you can't verify a flash drive install against the checksums for an ISO image, because the flash drive uses a different filesystem. You can make sure the ISO downloaded correctly using the md5sum though | 05:37 |
| jrt05 | tripelb, you can pause http also | 05:37 |

| FloodBot1 | joseAway: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:40 |
| ShadowApex | linux: you should also look into the Firefox add-on "DownThemAll"; it has much better resume support and also acts as a download accelerator | 05:40 |
| linux | drizzt_, alrady finished 46% | 05:41 |
| Appl6 | linux: That's different. Right click the download and click "Copy Download Link". | 05:41 |

| tj1234 | so like, i was going to install grub-doc, and apt-get told me that it was goign to remove grub and grub-common. Im fairly sure thats a screwup with package configuration at the repositories, and i suggest you guys fix that before some poor sap installs it and ruins their bootloader | 05:57 |
| wad | This system has two hard drives. Windows on the first one, linux on the second. | 05:57 |
| Izinucs | ok.. what repo is sun-java in? I enabled the partners repo but don't see it there either. | 05:57 |
| wad | So are there two MBRs, or just one? | 05:58 |
| MPX | wad: Might be two | 05:58 |
| MPX | Try booting from your second. Set option in bios if you have it | 05:58 |

| drizzt_ | wad, on hd0 if you haven't use BIOS boot menu | 05:59 |
| Krishnandu | wad, not necessary | 05:59 |
| wad | Both drives are SATA. sda and sdb. | 05:59 |
| Izinucs | wad: it lives *in* the MBR | 05:59 |

| wad | drizzt_, after the post, it just hangs. No message. | 06:00 |
| tj1234 | weird, it attempts to remove my stuff | 06:00 |
| MPX | I got two boot managers...heh...one on sda and one on sdb | 06:00 |
| Izinucs | wad: whatever the boot drive is.. that's why it's call the master boot record.. could be sda or sdb .. you can also install in both locations just in case | 06:00 |

| Izinucs | wad: could be or could be like me today.. depending on boot order sda might be considered sdb and your bios. so for me I put it on sda and had to change the boot order of the drives to get it to work | 06:02 |

| onetinsoldier | anyone want to see a really cool linux weather app? it's called 'aweather'. i jumped through a lot of hoops and a lot of work to figure out how to get it to compile in lucid. these were supposed to be for greezmunkey but he had a 'ping timeout' and i don't want them to go to waste! :-) | 06:27 |
| wad | So, I'm a tad confused. Grub lives in the MBR on /dev/sda. I've got Windows on sda, and linux on sdb. Where does the Windows boot loader live, if grub is on /dev/sda's MBR? | 06:27 |
| poutine_ | onetinsoldier, I just tried it, it sucks | 06:28 |

| SunnyDP | Problem: sudo chown yourusername ~/.ICEauthority | 06:28 |
| CaptainTrek | wad: windows bootloader was on sda | 06:28 |
| CaptainTrek | wad: no clue why it doesnt work unfortunately | 06:28 |
| SunnyDP | Problem: then run, sudo chmod 644 -R ~/.ICEauthority | 06:28 |
| onetinsoldier | poutine_: you don't like it? how come? i think it's really cool! it's pretty unstable right now. did you have the full RSL radar support? | 06:29 |
| wad | CaptainTrek, so the Windows boot load and grub both co-habit the MBR on sda? That seems odd. | 06:29 |
| poutine_ | onetinsoldier, heh, I was spouting disinformation, but you sound like you have some stake in it | 06:29 |
| Appl6 | wad: The Windows bootloader is on the Windows partition. GRUB boots Windows by jumping into Windows' bootloader on its partition. | 06:29 |
| onetinsoldier | poutine_: lol, roger. i was going to ask where did you get it? because man, was it hard to get it to compile. in fact, i dare anyone to get it to compile on lucid, hehe | 06:30 |
| wad | Appl6, ah, so the Windows bootload is actually on /dev/sda1 then. | 06:30 |
| Appl6 | wad: When you're at the grub prompt, edit the Windows entry and pastebin it. Or, just pastebin your grub configuration file. | 06:30 |

| abuayyoub | lyrae, thanks alot. kinda a strange request i know. lol | 07:00 |

| abuayyoub | lyrae, really thank you. Government here are greedy bastards lol afraid to loose a buck they block VOIP. | 07:02 |
| onetinsoldier | MeatCurtains: GPL allows you to seel it, but anyone you sell it to is allowed to pass it on for free. and the source code may be made available by the person selling it as well. i think that's right but don't hold me to it 100% | 07:02 |
| lyrae | abuayyoub, no prob. where you from? | 07:02 |
| onetinsoldier | seel = sell | 07:02 |

| onetinsoldier | MeatCurtains: i mean 'the source code must* be made available...' | 07:03 |
| lyrae | abuayyoub, ahh ok | 07:03 |
| MeatCurtains | yeah, i'm aware of that part. | 07:03 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: named pipes are only applicable _within_ the same host | 07:04 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, oh okay that's what I was afraid of. I don't think there's any way for me to do this then | 07:04 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: if you're specific about having a _file_ on the remote machine (i see no reason why you need a file for this specific application), then you can use ssh | 07:04 |
| NimbleRabit | the application writes out to a file and I'm not experienced enough to change it is all | 07:05 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: on m1: cat file | ssh remotehost 'mencoder blah' will solve the problem actually | 07:05 |
| sunson | you just need to setup passphraseless ssh | 07:05 |
| NimbleRabit | k I have that setup already, thanks | 07:05 |

| Guest95910 | Heyeveryone, I just installed UNE 10.4 on my HP mini 1116nr. Wifi isn't working. No ethernet to get packages. Ideas? | 07:06 |
| abuayyoub | lyrae, you won't believe if I tell you Rapidshare is blocked as well haha | 07:07 |
| sweb | how can get path i bash file that executed ? | 07:07 |
| sweb | in bash command? | 07:07 |
| lyrae | oh man | 07:07 |
| abuayyoub | lol | 07:07 |
| Docteh | Guest95910: manually download packages to usb and manually install | 07:07 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: you could still hack around if you can tell your app to write to _some other file_ | 07:07 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: which could be /dev/stdout ;) | 07:08 |
| xTheGoat121x | I'm having a problem with Gwibber and Twitter. It doesn't show my whole timeline, only replies directed @ me | 07:08 |
| lyrae | abuayyoub, is this blocked for you: http://www.4shared.com/ | 07:08 |
| abuayyoub | lyrae, do you know of any programs like hotspot shielf for linux? | 07:08 |
| Guest95910 | Docteh: I don't know where to get the packages. Point me to the right directoin? | 07:08 |
| abuayyoub | lyrae, 4shared works | 07:09 |
| Docteh | Guest95910: packages.ubuntu.com | 07:09 |
| sharat87 | hello, my browser tries to download php files instead of displaying them.. if the php files are in my public_html and accessed through mod_rewrite.. otherwise, they work fine.. | 07:09 |
| sharat87 | what am I missing? | 07:09 |
| sunson | Guest95910: you can also copy the files directly into /var/cache/apt/archives and run apt-get install the list of needed packages | 07:09 |
| lyrae | abuayyoub, http://www.4shared.com/file/tSYVlqG-/skype-ubuntu-intrepid_21081-1_.html | 07:10 |
| Docteh | hey with an eeepc with 512mb of ram should i install firefox or chromium? | 07:10 |
| sunson | sharat87: config your web server to treat php as php | 07:10 |
| Guest95910 | Docteh: Chromium imo | 07:10 |
| sunson | sharat87: has nothing to do with your browser | 07:10 |
| abuayyoub | lyrae, thank you man it's downloading. I appreciate it. | 07:10 |
| sharat87 | sunson: ok, how do I do that? | 07:10 |
| threexk | hello. I tried add something to PATH in .pam_environment (per Ubuntu environment variables page), but it gets added twice. How to prevent this? PATH DEFAULT=${PATH}:/mypath/ | 07:11 |
| sharat87 | yes, i know that.. but apache is parsing php if they are put in /var/www | 07:11 |
| sharat87 | sunson: but is sending as a static file if through mod_rewrite.. | 07:11 |
| abuayyoub | Anyone know anything about freenet? | 07:11 |
| maelaian | Docteh: Chromium have eeepc,firefox is heavy. | 07:12 |
| lyrae | abuayyoub, no prob | 07:12 |
| sunson | !freenet | 07:12 |
| sweb | how can i get full path i bash command line that executed ??\ | 07:12 |
| Docteh | sharat87: how did you install php? cgi? mod_php? | 07:12 |
| __taco | hi, every body, Is Network-manager conflict with pppoeconf? when I start up pppoeconf and reboot, the icon of nm in notification disappear . what is matter with it? | 07:12 |
| sweb | some body help me | 07:12 |
| Guest95910 | Docteh: I don't know which packages I'm missing that I need to get. Want me to give you the lspci | 07:12 |
| Guest95910 | lshw -c network | 07:12 |
| Guest95910 | iwconfig? | 07:12 |
| sunson | sweb: you mean access full path to your script from inside the script? | 07:12 |
| sharat87 | Docteh: sudo apt-get install php5-common php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-cgi php5-mysql | 07:12 |
| sweb | sunson, yes | 07:13 |
| sharat87 | after trying to troubleshoot my installation with tasksel.. | 07:13 |
| sunson | sweb: path=`which $0` | 07:13 |
| sweb | sunson, always sweet answer, thank | 07:13 |
| sunson | but that works only if your script isn't aliases | 07:13 |
| Docteh | sharat87: check in /etc/apache2/modules_enabled and see if php is listed | 07:13 |
| sunson | for example, if your script is called do_something.sh and someone created an alias called 'ds', then this won't work | 07:13 |
| sunson | Docteh: his php is getting interpreted. his problem is when he gets to the PHP via a mod_rewrite | 07:14 |
| threexk | Does anyone actually use .pam_environment to set their environment variables as the Ubuntu documentation recommends? | 07:14 |
| sharat87 | yes, php5.load and php5.conf are both there.. | 07:14 |
| Docteh | sunson: how he's doing php determines how to make it work after a rewrite | 07:14 |
| Guest95910 | no suggestions? | 07:15 |
| sharat87 | ooh ok, wait.. it is not mod_rewrite.. it is mod_userdir... | 07:15 |
| sharat87 | that's the one that goes into public_html right..? | 07:15 |
| sunson | sharat87: gah | 07:15 |
| abuayyoub | how do you install a jnlp file? | 07:15 |
| sharat87 | slap my face! | 07:15 |
| Docteh | Guest95910: i usually google pci ids | 07:15 |
| sharat87 | does mod_userdir keep any configs for itself somewhere? | 07:16 |
| histo | sharat87: there is #php and #httpd just FYI | 07:16 |
| lyrae | !lamp | 07:17 |
| ubottu | 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+) | 07:17 |
| sharat87 | histo: i am thinking this is a ubuntu specific one.. as it was working fine before my lucid upgrade | 07:17 |
| maelaian | After losing all hope in ubuntu, I shall give one more shot to 10.04 in the form of an attempted alternate install. | 07:17 |
| sweb | sunson, how can i get basename for `which $0` result | 07:18 |
| sweb | ? | 07:18 |
| sunson | sweb: ? pls rephrase | 07:18 |
| jaes | hi, is there anyone who used pynotify/notify-osd/python-notify with python on ubuntu who could help me there ? | 07:18 |
| moetunes | sweb: all bash scripts use the dirs in $PATH | 07:19 |
| GarmaZed | Hey everyone. | 07:19 |
| sunson | moetunes: that's one of the many absurd thing I've heard about bash. what do you mean by "all bash scripts use the dirs in $PATH"? | 07:20 |
| sunson | $PATH is used by bash, yes - whenever one tries to execute a command it looks through in the PATH order. | 07:21 |
| sunson | it is transparent to your script... and by the time your script is already running, it is irrelevant :) | 07:21 |
| moetunes | sunson: why comment at all? - not talking to you | 07:22 |
| sunson | moetunes: this is a public forum. anyone is free to correct mistakes | 07:23 |
| moetunes | sunson: what was wrong? - and tell him not me pls... | 07:23 |
| sunson | gah | 07:23 |
| lyrae | so we have apt-get, aptitude and now tasksel. why 3 | 07:24 |
| histo | lyrae: each has different features | 07:24 |
| lyrae | but very similar, no/ | 07:24 |
| ActionParsnip | yo yo yo | 07:25 |
| sunson | lyrae: aptitude and apt-get - yes, arguably similar on many ground. tasksel? no - quite different. | 07:25 |
| Titus | SOS | 07:25 |
| Titus | i need help | 07:25 |
| sharat87 | ok, i tried to (re?) enable my userdir module, and it said a real file exists and not touching it.. i removed the real files and re-enabled it.. all seemed happy and well.. but still apache sends php files as a download | 07:25 |
| CaptainTrek | !ask | Titus | 07:25 |
| ubottu | Titus: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 07:25 |
| Titus | does anyone know the command line instructions to installing Bastard | 07:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !info bastard | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Package bastard does not exist in lucid | 07:26 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, okay well editing the program is a bit above me, but thanks for the cat file | ssh machine2 'do stuff here' tip. One question, I'll need a way to make that keep getting everything in my local pipe continuously right? Would tail -f do the job, or am I way off base here? Sorry if I'm bothering you. | 07:26 |
| sean_ | ubuntu is for noobs. discuss. | 07:27 |
| lyrae | why? | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Titus: is it a binary decompiler? | 07:27 |
| sean_ | real men use debian | 07:27 |
| jengc0il | hello world | 07:27 |
| ActionParsnip | sean_: no, it's offtopic here. #ubuntu-offtopic will gladly fill you in | 07:27 |
| Titus | Yes | 07:27 |
| lyrae | what if youre a girl like me? | 07:27 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: not edit the program - do a --help and see if it supports outputting to some other file. Then you can run the program as (on m1): prg --outfile /dev/stdout | ssh m2 mencoder blah blah | 07:27 |
| lyrae | good thing i dont use deb | 07:27 |
| jengc0il | hi Titus | 07:27 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: and it will get "everything" that is coming from the first command | 07:28 |
| Sam_Fisher | lyrae, Good one! | 07:28 |
| jengc0il | sunson: need help | 07:28 |
| Titus | Hello jengc0il | 07:28 |
| sean_ | haha yeah | 07:28 |
| jengc0il | Titus: where r u now | 07:28 |
| lyrae | just kidding though. i'm not a female | 07:28 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, OHHHHH | 07:28 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, I understand you now. Sorry I'm a bit out of my element, but that makes sense. I'll see if I can get that working, thanks. | 07:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Titus: i found the (ironic) source :) | 07:29 |
| Titus | well sitting in front of my computer | 07:29 |
| Sam_Fisher | lyrae, you are now! until u change your name here | 07:29 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: simplest example: cat /etc/passwd | ssh m2 'cat >/tmp/his_passwd' | 07:29 |
| lyrae | =D i can be both | 07:29 |
| Titus | ActionParsnip please give me the location | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Titus: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bastard/bastard_bin-0.16.tgz | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Titus: I believe the bin folder there contains precompiled binarys | 07:30 |
| jengc0il | Titus: :D | 07:31 |
| sunson | ssh lyrae touch /dev/genitals ;) | 07:31 |
| * jengc0il live from my class | 07:31 | |
| Flannel | sunson: That's not appropriate | 07:31 |
| lyrae | haha | 07:31 |
| Titus | Thankx ap | 07:31 |
| Docteh | also unimaginative :-/ | 07:31 |
| Sam_Fisher | sunson, Baddd LOL | 07:32 |
| sp4z | anyone got wine+dx9+.net going on their ubuntu install here? | 07:32 |
| moetunes | seems it was a good idea to put sunson on ignore... | 07:32 |
| sunson | moetunes: haha. because I pointed out a mistake in what you said? | 07:32 |
| Sam_Fisher | sunson, can not be ignored! | 07:32 |
| Sam_Fisher | sunson, see what you did you scared Lyrae away | 07:33 |
| sunson | heh | 07:33 |
| * sunson is still looking for a recommendation on a good graphics tablet that works (flawlessly) with 9.10 | 07:34 | |
| cryptide | hey wtf my close, minimize, max icons moved | 07:34 |
| Sam_Fisher | cryptide, stop drinking? | 07:34 |
| Flannel | cryptide: in 10.04 they default to the left side, yes. | 07:34 |
| sharat87 | ok, i am done debugging mod_userdir.. how do I make apache follow symlinks? | 07:35 |
| cryptide | i dig the new icons everywhere... but damn this is kinda whack | 07:35 |
| cryptide | can i move em back? | 07:35 |
| Sam_Fisher | cryptide, easy fix if you want | 07:36 |
| Flannel | !controls | cryptide | 07:36 |
| ubottu | cryptide: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 | 07:36 |
| openmindj | any one here work from home by using a ubuntu setup?? | 07:36 |
| sunson | openmindj: i am right now (supposed to be) WFH'ing :D | 07:36 |
| cryptide | so are they better off on the left hand side? | 07:36 |
| openmindj | lol :) | 07:37 |
| sunson | cryptide: switch your window manager if its a big issue. | 07:37 |
| Sam_Fisher | cryptide, I like them where they were before and that's where I put them | 07:37 |
| sunson | <asbestos>I don't run KDE / GNOME or any of the 2GB large bloated WMs</asbestos> | 07:37 |
| Flannel | sunson: Please help this channel remain ontopic, thanks. | 07:38 |
| openmindj | what type of work do you do @ sunson? | 07:38 |
| Flannel | cryptide: We're still not sure. Canonical claims they are. You can easily move them back though | 07:38 |
| sunson | Flannel: okay. didn't know that was OT. sorry about that. | 07:38 |
| sweb | how can i off output command in bash command line ?] | 07:38 |
| sunson | sweb: stty -echo | 07:38 |
| cryptide | Flannel, thanks | 07:39 |
| sunson | sweb: that "offs" what you type. to "off" the output, you could just append >/dev/null to the command line | 07:39 |
| sweb | sunson, i'm a command in my bash file that have a output how can i ignore output ? | 07:41 |
| openmindj | does any one here know how to compile Bristol with jack support? | 07:42 |
| sweb | for example rm that send output 'rm: cannot remove `/this/is/my/path/*': No such file or directory' | 07:42 |
| sunson | sweb: thats stderr | 07:42 |
| sunson | sweb: so append 2>/dev/null to the end of the command | 07:43 |
| sunson | sweb: in the above "rm" context, though, you're better off doing rm -f /this/is/my/path/* | 07:43 |
| sunson | sweb: but beware of the side-effects of using -f! | 07:44 |
| anodesni | I want to buy this: hauppauge pctv nanoStick solo 73e SE, has anyone used it with ubuntu, does it work? | 07:44 |

| Docteh | awww | 07:50 |

| illuminatus | thanks drizzt_ | 07:51 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: hey | 07:51 |
| Docteh | bobbyyu: installing packages via the internet is that bad? | 07:51 |
| bobbyyu | Yes, it is. | 07:52 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: okay lemme load up Synaptic | 07:52 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: k | 07:52 |
| bobbyyu | I prefer everything from the disc. | 07:52 |
| rocket16 | bobbyyu: But, you can just download GIMP debs from Internet, and keep them in a Pendrive or DVD, and then use it to install GIMP on any machine running Ubuntu. | 07:52 |
| bobbyyu | At least the basic stuff I need. | 07:52 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: Flash as in the thing that lets you play flash games online and watch youtube and stuff right? | 07:53 |
| CaptainTrek | to be sure | 07:53 |
| rocket16 | bobbyyu: Also, if you wish to make your own flavour of Ubuntu, use Remastersys or UCK, | 07:53 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: yes | 07:53 |
| bobbyyu | rocket16: Good idea | 07:53 |
| rocket16 | bobbyyu: Thanks, :) My pleasure | 07:53 |

| drizzt_ | goku12205, with the bat? | 07:55 |
| peyton_westlake | Anyone in here messed around with the way ubuntu uses ram? Or maybe can point me in the direction of someone who has. I'm still learning Linux and don't feel comfortable going to Gentoo yet. | 07:55 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: Lucid right? | 07:55 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: yep | 07:56 |
| alfredo | hi, how can i fix the sound problem on my sony vaio vpceb11fm, it has no sound, if i plug in headphones it sounds very low, i entered to alsamixer through the console and maxed everything but still no sound :/ | 07:56 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: check Synaptic for... um... hangon | 07:56 |
| drizzt_ | why no-one cares about universe packages in Ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| rocket16 | Can there be any Laptop edition of Ubuntu in future? I suppose, we need a collection of Laptop-Tools for Ubuntu, like laptop-mode-tools and more, bundled to make Laptops work efficiently, although the default one runs pretty well. | 07:56 |
| goku12205 | i'm trying to learn how to get open shell's over networks, any advice? | 07:57 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu | 07:57 |
| Docteh | peyton_westlake: what sort of memory usage? the ureadahead memory thing? | 07:57 |
| rocket16 | goku12205: Use Secure-Shell SSH, for Shell Networks. | 07:57 |
| alejandro | 32 | 07:58 |
| rocket16 | goku12205: And, you can download nautilus-open-terminal extension, and enter into networks, and right click and select open terminal here. | 07:58 |
| goku12205 | is there other way's to open remote shell's, like using an exploit and shellcode? idk im confused? | 07:58 |
| ouyes | Is there a channel talking about hardware? | 07:58 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: i think i just have to remove it and re install | 07:58 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: right click and hit completely remove | 07:59 |
| CaptainTrek | on the package in synaptic | 07:59 |
| peyton_westlake | Docteh: well, I have two older computers, and they bog down fairly easy. One is maxed out at 512 mb and the other is at 768mb with a max of 1gb. | 07:59 |
| rocket16 | ouyes: As far as the hardware issue is related to Ubuntu, you are welcome to discuss here. | 07:59 |
| Docteh | goku12205: pwning noobs is kind of off topic | 07:59 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-installer | 07:59 |
| drizzt_ | goku12205, actual exploits cost large money, no-one will give them out for free | 07:59 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: that works | 08:00 |
| CaptainTrek | or | 08:00 |
| goku12205 | then i'll just create my own | 08:00 |
| CaptainTrek | alejandro: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer | 08:00 |
| CaptainTrek | you could do either of those | 08:00 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid | 08:00 |
| rocket16 | Is there any forkbomb scanner? | 08:00 |
| * CaptainTrek still uses sudo apt-get xD | 08:01 | |
| Docteh | peyton_westlake: you could give xfce4 a go if you haven't already | 08:01 |
| drizzt_ | xfce4 takes as much memory as gnome | 08:02 |
| Docteh | o | 08:02 |
| alejandro | CaptainTrek: brb | 08:02 |
| CaptainTrek | k | 08:02 |
| Docteh | that sucks | 08:02 |
| goku12205 | is the book shellcoders handbook anygood? | 08:02 |
| Docteh | who reads books? | 08:02 |
| moetunes | drizzt_: it doesn't - xubuntu uses as much memory as ubuntu these days - xfce is still light | 08:03 |
| goku12205 | alot of people actually | 08:03 |
| peyton_westlake | Docteh: Oh, I have, and didn't notice much if any difference. Thanks for pointing out ureadahead though. Interesting stuff! | 08:03 |
| larmbr | hello every one here .i 'm actually a newbie on ubuntu and irc. everytime i log on to some channel .the xchat would exit automatically some time later. what's wrong ?could anyone tell me ,THX! | 08:03 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, I did it with nc =D | 08:04 |
| sunson | NimbleRabit: :) cool | 08:04 |
| goku12205 | any help on buffer overflows or stack overflows | 08:04 |
| NimbleRabit | sunson, very slick. Thanks a lot for all your help. It turns out stdout was what I needed to learn about | 08:04 |
| drizzt_ | !hack | 08:04 |
| Docteh | !hackers | 08:04 |
| ouyes | rocket16, yes it is, people is mad at chasing the speed of the hardware, they change their laptops and PCs as soon as Intel or AMD releases a new CPU and platform, do we really need that fast to run our system? does ubuntu 10.04 need a better performance cpu to run smoothly than old version such as 8.04 ? | 08:04 |
| drizzt_ | ouyes, yes, because of bloat | 08:05 |

| ouyes | drizzt_, bloat? where? | 08:05 |
| sighodke | Hi, I am trying to install the m68hc1x development toolchain on 10.04 but I can't find the pkg... Are they removing some pkgs? | 08:05 |
| Docteh | icewm and xterm aren't bloated yet :) | 08:05 |
| ouyes | drizzt_, cloud? | 08:06 |
| drizzt_ | in kernel... in userland.. everywhere | 08:06 |
| sunson | whats that anti-thesis to Moore's law? it goes something like "software bloat keeps the usable speed of computers constant even though CPU speed doubles according to Moore's law" | 08:06 |
| Docteh | no, our perception of speed changes as time goes on | 08:07 |
| goku12205 | Kernel Hacking? | 08:07 |
| drizzt_ | get lost | 08:07 |
| rocket16 | ouyes: Not required so much, because default Ubuntu running Gnome needs a minimum of 384 MB RAM to run properly, while Kubuntu running KDE needs 512 MB. Also, Ubuntu has lighter versions like Lubuntu and Xubuntu, which have much less System requirements. So, I personally don't feel so that we need to upgrade the Systems again and again. Better to do that in a Systematic way like once in 8 monthes. | 08:07 |
| ouyes | drizzt_, rocket16 as far as I know , all the Unix system take up to 2% market share in the personal computer. | 08:07 |
| Docteh | goku12205: this room is all noobs, get out before the noobishness gets on you! ;) | 08:07 |

| easiertoread_ | Any suggestions on this? | 08:15 |
| easiertoread_ | Hmm .. Perhaps it's a compiz issue. | 08:16 |

| rocket16 | complience: Sure, what is the problem? | 08:47 |

| complience | for some reason the kernal is having problems during the install | 08:47 |
| Docteh | rocket16: are you hyper? | 08:47 |
| maelaian | sunson: Yes. Used the alternate CD but its a default install otherwise. | 08:47 |
| complience | I think there might be a problem with the motherboard harddrive controller and ubuntu | 08:47 |
| karrar | what is the most feature rich irc client in the ubuntu repos ? | 08:47 |
| rocket16 | complience: Did you try to compile a kernel yourself? | 08:47 |
| rocket16 | Docteh: What? | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Karrar: irssi is very flexible wheras others like xchat or pidgin. You are using an OS which emphasises user choice and customisability then hit an irc channel so some users can tell you what app to use... | 08:47 |
| complience | no ive been trying to use the normal ubuntu install process | 08:48 |
| easiertoread_ | $ rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd | 08:48 |
| easiertoread_ | Bad idea? | 08:48 |
| linux | rocket16, is that true that outside india most of them use linux | 08:48 |
| jpds | easiertoread_: Yes; unless you want to lose all your settings. | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | easiertoread_: i'd make a folder and move the folders to it. If the result is acceptable then delete the backup | 08:48 |
| Mr_Queue | easiertoread_: YES | 08:48 |
| easiertoread_ | Well I'm getting no better ideas tbh. | 08:49 |
| Mr_Queue | easiertoread_: use mv instead. | 08:49 |
| moetunes | easiertoread_: it will mean setting up apps again - if you have configured the panels it won't get them back tho | 08:49 |
| rocket16 | linux: No, but from a local survey, in the neighouring countries like Bangladesh and Srilanka, Linux is growing in use. India too, has made great progress in Linux, with the advocacy of FSF | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Easiertoread_: it gives you a rollback option | 08:49 |
| easiertoread_ | gnome-panel has corrupted, basically. | 08:49 |
| Mr_Queue | easiertoread_: then if things work out rm them. | 08:49 |

| kamidi | comlience, cd clocks are kinda retro :) you can do that | 09:02 |
| hvralpha | maelaian: Just use recovery line, go to terminal with networking and run command I gave above. You can also run sudo apt-get update to see if you got all the packages. | 09:02 |

| capiscuas_ | hi guys, got a tricky question | 09:32 |
| brianlions | <shanx> so u r compiling a windows program on ubuntu? | 09:32 |
| Curly_Q | Maelaian, you can try this with your old setup and then compare it with your new setup: lshw -html > system.html && xdg-open ./system.html | 09:33 |
| shanx | no not an windows program its a graphics testing program simply to generate some graphics patterns | 09:33 |
| capiscuas_ | i have a python script that prints correct non-ascii characters in the terminal output, but if I redirect the output with '>file.txt' , then the file.txt contains wrong characteres for those that are not ascii | 09:33 |
| capiscuas_ | is there a way to do unicode '>' redirection? | 09:33 |
| maelaian | Curly_Q: Ill give it a go after the upgrade finishes and i try hat. | 09:34 |
| Curly_Q | Also lsmod will tell you all of the utilized modules. | 09:34 |
| Curly_Q | Maelaian, check this website out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933054 | 09:35 |
| Jordan_U | capiscuas_: Is there really a difference with your script between "script" and "script > file.txt && cat file.txt" ? (note that using cat is not the same as viewing the file in a text editor). | 09:35 |
| toolbear | hi. say, i've got a problem. the "jockey" hardware-drivers thing says i have nvidia installed and activated. great. but, when ubuntu starts it says that it can't find the nvidia module, and so i have to restart the x-server to get things going. also, if i tried to enable compiz visual effects, it doesn't recognize any driver at all, and tries to download and install nvidia all over again, except it fails. what can i possibly do??? | 09:36 |
| brianlions | shanx, maybe you forget to add the directory containing 'graphics.h' into your project, or 'graphics.h' does not exists | 09:36 |
| Talon_ | shanx: there is a project somewhere, its not in the repositories tho, a project called libgraph which takes all of graphics.h functions and wraps them around SDL so you can compile your windows programs that used "graphics.h" on linux systems as long as you have the required sdl-dev packages | 09:36 |

| transalp | , | 09:37 |
| capiscuas_ | Joradn__U , let me try | 09:38 |
| moetunes | transalp: you might want to check out handbrake for that - it is not in the repos afaik | 09:39 |
| Talon_ | shanx: its not a package that can be installed via synaptic or ubuntu software center.. You'd have to download it and compile the library yourself. | 09:39 |
| shanx | can you please tell the site for this | 09:40 |
| Jordan_U | capiscuas_: File redirection takes the bits directly from stdout and puts them in a file, so it doesn't matter if it's ascii, unicode, or mp3 data. While there are reasons why a program might decide to output different bits if it detects that stdout is not going to a terminal I doubt that your program is doing this. My guess is that you are noticing differences between how the terminal is interpreting the characters and how you | 09:40 |
| capiscuas_ | Jordan_U, exactly , the cat command ouptuts correctly the file | 09:40 |
| === a is now known as notit | ||

| capiscuas_ | how can I fix it ? | 09:40 |
| Talon_ | shanx: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/libgraph/ | 09:41 |
| Jordan_U | capiscuas_: Make sure that your text editor is set to interpret the file as unicode, and that your output does not contain any terminal controll characters. | 09:41 |
| transalp | moetunes: handbrake is not in synaptic | 09:41 |
| transalp | or in apt-get | 09:41 |
| capiscuas_ | Jordan_U , in fact the final file is a html file that the browser reads wrongly | 09:42 |
| capiscuas_ | i'm using the diff2html python script | 09:42 |
| foxmulder | Have you considered checking out the ppa for the latest handbrake build? | 09:43 |
| foxmulder | https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots | 09:44 |
| notit | so how's usb3 and sata3 support coming? | 09:44 |
| foxmulder | USB 3.0 support is already in the latest kernels. I don't know about SATA 3 though. | 09:45 |
| moetunes | transalp: i didn't think it was - tried avidemux? | 09:46 |
| capiscuas_ | Jordan_U , in fact i discovered that the file is correctly with unicode chars.... | 09:46 |
| capiscuas_ | is the browser that doesn't represent those non-ascii correctly | 09:46 |

| brianlions | alloosh1, may be you should change folder's group access on /var/lib/php5 | 09:52 |
| alloosh1 | brianlions: true, but isnt this a bug? | 09:52 |
| foxmulder | Actually, while I think of this, I'm getting this message at boot. "init:ureadahead error 6**" Or something similar to that. Anyone else getting that? | 09:52 |
| brianlions | /var/lib/php is owned by root, but apache might running as another user | 09:53 |
| raymondjtoth | i cant see my exfat usb flash drive in ubuntu 10.04 what i do? | 09:53 |
| Eaddy504 | I'm New ubuntu and want to installed if on my Acer netbook AO752 | 09:54 |
| Thraul | raymondjtoth, does the usb appear under the places menu? | 09:54 |
| capiscuas_ | Jordan_U, i changed the charset of the html and worked fine, thks | 09:54 |
| brianlions | alloosh1, chown root.apache /var/lib/php5; chmod g=rwx /var/lib/php5/session | 09:54 |
| foxmulder | Eaddy504: So go install it! | 09:54 |
| raymondjtoth | let me look Thraul | 09:54 |
| Eaddy504 | yes just want to know about the drivers competability | 09:54 |
| raymondjtoth | Thraul u dinbt see it its formated in exfat | 09:55 |
| raymondjtoth | Thraul, dont see it its formated in exfat | 09:55 |
| raymondjtoth | what now? | 09:56 |
| Bekmand | Hey. Could some of you help me with my old laptop? i've been using it for 1. and 2. year in school. But i bought a new one for 3. semester. But apparently i need my notes from 1. and 2. year. But i've forgotten the username and password. Anyone there can help me retrieve it? or is it impossible? | 09:57 |
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: in terminal do sudo fdisk -l and see if it shows in there | 09:57 |
| raymondjtoth | Thraul, you here? | 09:57 |
| Eaddy504 | I only have drivers for win 7 is it competible | 09:57 |
| Thraul | raymondjtoth, exfat = fatx (XBOX format?) ? | 09:57 |
| oCean_ | !pass | Bekmand | 09:58 |
| ubottu | Bekmand: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords | 09:58 |
| raymondjtoth | moetunes, how i see if itsthere\ | 09:58 |
| Curly_Q | Bekmand there is a way to retrieve your data. You need to first slave your hard drive from the old laptop which will be able to see the files. | 09:58 |
| Bekmand | and then acces the harddrive from another computer? | 09:59 |
| Curly_Q | Bekmand with laptops, it is a bit more tricky though. | 09:59 |
| Curly_Q | Yes. | 09:59 |
| raymondjtoth | mole i see 2 things there moetunes | 09:59 |
| oCean_ | Bekmand: just follow instructions would be lot easier | 09:59 |
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: if you have one internal hard disk it will be sdb | 09:59 |
| Bekmand | oCean: Its the login screen that i cant get through | 10:00 |
| raymondjtoth | i see sdb and a sda moetunes | 10:00 |
| Curly_Q | Forget the login screen. | 10:00 |
| oCean_ | Bekmand: have you even looked at the url ubottu send you? | 10:00 |
| Bekmand | oCean: Yea | 10:00 |
| raymondjtoth | its usb flash drive formated in exfat | 10:00 |
| oCean_ | Bekmand: so, nothing about login screen there... | 10:00 |
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: and you only have one internal hard disk? | 10:00 |
| reeniginEesreveR | can i set permissiosn on a directory such that every file created in it inherits its permissions rather than default umask? | 10:01 |
| Eaddy504 | WAITING | 10:01 |
| raymondjtoth | no i have usb flash drive | 10:01 |
| raymondjtoth | also hooked up and hd on lapy | 10:01 |
| raymondjtoth | see my fat flash drive just not the exfat flash drive | 10:01 |
| raymondjtoth | moetunes, | 10:01 |
| Curly_Q | Bekmand there is a USB device that you can plug your laptop hard drive into that will slave it to your other laptop. When slaving with the USB device it must be Primary Master. | 10:02 |
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: then it is not a filesystem that is recognised - thraul asked - Thraul> raymondjtoth, exfat = fatx (XBOX format?) ? | 10:02 |
| raymondjtoth | moetunes, not sure its fat64 for short its exfat | 10:03 |
| raymondjtoth | moetunes, how i get this file for mat support? | 10:04 |
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: I know nothing about it - fat32 is the easiest to get support for afaik | 10:04 |
| raymondjtoth | moe for exfat what i do? | 10:05 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| Thraul | raymondjtoth, it appears that exfat is still experimental on linux. Its the new FAT from microsoft suited especially for USB flash drives, introduced for embedded devices in Windows Embedded CE 6.0, in their desktop operating systems Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows 7, and in their server operating system Windows Server 2008. ExFAT can be used where the NTFS file system is not a feasible solution, due to data structure | 10:05 |
| Thraul | overhead, or where the file size or directory restrictions of previous versions of the FAT file system are unacceptable. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT) | 10:05 |
| dsirijus | anyone successfuly connected to server via ssh through nautilus? ever? :P | 10:05 |
| raymondjtoth | Thraul, yes | 10:06 |
| iceroot | dsirijus: sure | 10:06 |

| raymondjtoth | Thraul, yes is there a way to try it out | 10:06 |
| dsirijus | iceroot, well, it keeps asking me for password, i don't have one, but can connect in command line | 10:06 |
| frxstrem | is it possible to hide all output from a command in the shell from being displayed? | 10:07 |
| Thraul | the ubuntuforms have a read only driver (deb file) you could try that and see if it works | 10:07 |
| Bekmand | oCean: thanks... couldn't find it at the start... but found out why ;) had to go into rescue mode. just like the guide told me to. -.-' but thanks for your help oCean and Curly :) | 10:07 |

| === ce_kuul is now known as ce_nies | ||
| naveen519 | Hii all | 10:14 |
| iceroot | dsirijus: usse a password or use a key but dont use ssh withour a password!! | 10:14 |
| oCean_ | reeniginEesreveR: you have to work with umask, there is no way to inherit permissions | 10:15 |
| reeniginEesreveR | oCean_, can i set umask for a directory? :P | 10:15 |
| josvuk | curly_q: pppd reprots me this. | 10:16 |
| oCean_ | reeniginEesreveR: umask is for processes. (such as a user's shell) | 10:16 |
| Curly_Q | Dsirijus, even with a password, you still need permissions. | 10:16 |
| raymondjtoth | moetunes, what should i format my flash drive in? | 10:16 |
| === ce_kuul is now known as ce_nies | ||
| moetunes | raymondjtoth: fat32 is the normal one | 10:17 |
| raymondjtoth | moe can i do ex4 | 10:17 |
| raymondjtoth | or non microsoft file formate | 10:17 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: yes you can but it would not be practical | 10:17 |
| raymondjtoth | ath i only useing one on linux | 10:18 |
| raymondjtoth | i want to go open source | 10:18 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: if you want to be able to read/write to your usb from anything, go with fat32. | 10:18 |
| tuhin | hi | 10:18 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: on the other hand, if you just use it at home on your linux, ext4 will do just fine :-) | 10:18 |
| raymondjtoth | athlion, i want open source formate i got 2 flash drive onew i want open formate | 10:19 |
| engin_ | Hello. Ubuntu Lucid, here. Any user can mount Windows partitions from places but as a user when I try to mount it from terminal, it says only root can mount partitions. What is the command to mount it as a non-root user to mount as done via GUI places? | 10:19 |
| tuhin | how can i hack | 10:19 |
| dsirijus | Curly_Q, iceroot, that's not up to me to decide, i just need to login so i can do stuff through gui, is all | 10:19 |
| === xyz is now known as hellyeah | ||
| athlion | raymondjtoth: ok then, go with ext4/ext3/whatever you want, but keep in mind that you won't be able to read the usb flash from anywhere else | 10:19 |
| raymondjtoth | athlion, i want open sourve formate | 10:19 |
| === zoom is now known as Guest57416 | ||
| raymondjtoth | understand | 10:20 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: ext4 is probably a good idea | 10:20 |
| Curly_Q | Dsirijus, are you trying to log into Linux from a Windows box? | 10:20 |
| dsirijus | Curly_Q, no, from ubuntu | 10:20 |
| Eaddy504 | Hi | 10:20 |
| dsirijus | Curly_Q, in win all works fine through putty and winscp | 10:20 |
| moetunes | engin_: you need to use sudo with the mount command | 10:20 |
| raymondjtoth | athlion, how i delete a file with non root or none owner permition | 10:21 |
| Curly_Q | I use SSH by Tectia. It is expensive but it works great. Putty is good too. | 10:21 |
| raymondjtoth | will njot alow me its locked | 10:21 |
| naveen519 | FlexiStation application is closing by throwing this error "FlexiStation: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0." | 10:21 |
| foxmulder | Why put ext 3/4 on usb? They don't require journaling so why bother and not just stick with fat32. | 10:21 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: you mean from command line or from nautilus? | 10:22 |
| dsirijus | Curly_Q, well, it seems like a nice idea that Connect to server command would work on Ubuntu, but i guess it doesn't | 10:22 |
| dsirijus | :P | 10:22 |
| raymondjtoth | i see a locked file cant delete it how i get ride of it | 10:22 |
| engin_ | moetunes: So what is the terminal equivalent of clicking mount win partition via GUI "places"? Any user can mount from there without asked for sudoer pass. | 10:22 |
| Curly_Q | Dsirijus, you still need permissions to cut, copy and paste to the server even with SSH. | 10:22 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: there are two ways, one is to open a terminal, cd in the directory you are and type sydo rm <file> | 10:23 |
| moetunes | engin_: sodo mount -v /dev/sd?? /place/to/mount | 10:23 |
| dsirijus | Curly_Q, it's root account access | 10:23 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: the other is to open a terminal, and type sudo nautilus and go delete it from the new window that appears (which has root access) | 10:23 |
| Curly_Q | Even with ROOT access, you still need to give yourself permission. | 10:23 |
| athlion | Curly_Q: If I'm not mistaken, with root you do not | 10:24 |
| foxmulder | athlion: Not recommend sudo through Nautilus. | 10:24 |
| foxmulder | It's dodgy. | 10:25 |
| Curly_Q | Not true. | 10:25 |
| engin_ | moetunes: I know the sudo way but what I want to learn is: Any user can mount them by clicking via "places". It should run a command at the background noy asking for root pass. So what is that command? | 10:25 |
| Curly_Q | Giving yourself permission in root is a security factor. | 10:25 |
| === dyllan is now known as kingmilo | ||
| foxmulder | engin_: Can it be done via command? | 10:26 |

| raymondjtoth | athlion, dont work | 10:26 |
| theadmin | What was that command to measure disk usage? dh? | 10:26 |
| foxmulder | du | 10:26 |
| athlion | theadmin: du | 10:26 |
| theadmin | athlion: Well, I just wanna see how much space is taken/free on all partitions | 10:27 |
| oCean_ | theadmin: and per-filesystem usage use "df" | 10:27 |
| athlion | theadmin: df | 10:27 |
| athlion | df -h | 10:27 |
| engin_ | foxmulder: when we click win partion under places menu we should be running a command appearently. I want to learn it. | 10:27 |
| theadmin | uh. It doesn't show unmounted devices :/ | 10:27 |

| theadmin | raymondjtoth: heck yeah | 10:41 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: depends on what you need it for | 10:41 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: what do you want to do with it? | 10:41 |
| theadmin | raymondjtoth: But vfat is maybe better for flash devices | 10:41 |
| theadmin | sed s/flash/usb/ | 10:41 |
| raymondjtoth | for flash drive want open sdourcd file formate for it | 10:41 |
| theadmin | raymondjtoth: For flash device, go with fat32 or ntfs | 10:42 |
| raymondjtoth | theadmin how i use vfat | 10:42 |
| athlion | raymondjtoth: well, if you just want an open source format, use ext4 | 10:42 |
| raymondjtoth | i want open source one | 10:42 |
| engin_ | theadmin: In fact, what I try to do is, without mounting win partitions automatically at startup, putting a shortcut on the desktop for a user, running the command mount that win partition and open that directory there, but mount asks for sudo pass and I dont want the user to have ir. On the other hand that user actually can mount Win partition via GUI "places" bt just clicking. So my problem is to create such a shortcut for her. | 10:42 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: if you dont have windows/mac-clients, use extX, else use vfat | 10:42 |
| theadmin | engin_: ...complicated. | 10:42 |
| Curly_Q | Nixpix, there seems to be a fat 12 issue there which hangs the system. | 10:42 |
| raymondjtoth | iceroot is that supported under ububtu 10.04 extx | 10:43 |
| Curly_Q | Nixpix, what is Win95 doing there? hehe | 10:43 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: x = placeholder for ext2,3 or 4 | 10:43 |
| moetunes | you don't want journalling on a flsh drive folks | 10:43 |
| raymondjtoth | iceroot o ok want open source | 10:43 |
| raymondjtoth | this time | 10:43 |
| nixpix | Curly_Q, wow. How do I fix it? That's actually the restore-xp drive. It's standard on the eee's | 10:43 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: they are open-source | 10:43 |
| dubey | hello | 10:44 |
| raymondjtoth | i see i got ext 2 or ext4 ice | 10:44 |
| Curly_Q | Fat 12 is an old format. | 10:44 |
| iceroot | moetunes: sure, if the whole system is running on it | 10:44 |
| raymondjtoth | i did ext4 | 10:44 |
| dubey | i am trying to install vmware server 2.0 but getting vmmon error | 10:44 |

| dsirijus | my mute button doesn't work when headphones are plugged in (hp 2730p)... anyone had similar issue? | 10:45 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: just for trading files or running a system on it? | 10:45 |
| engin_ | the admin: In fact not complicated. For example we can create any shortcut for a directory lying in Ubuntu. What I try to create is a shortcut for a particular Win directory. But I dont want Ubuntu to ask for root password from user. In fact, Ubuntu doesn't ask for permission when user clicks and connects. | 10:45 |

| abuayyoub | histo, I was wondering if anyone could help me with some problems I'm having with my Microphone. | 10:45 |

| iceroot | raymondjtoth: use the correct nicks please | 10:45 |
| nixpix | Curly_Q, I know. In my defence it was there as a standard. The thing is that I had no issues booting backtrack earlier, and i don't think the partition type has changed since | 10:45 |
| iceroot | !tab | raymondjtoth | 10:45 |
| ubottu | raymondjtoth: 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. | 10:45 |
| Curly_Q | Nixpix, perhaps you can find the file to comment out the drive in question. Something like a process of elimination. | 10:45 |
| raymondjtoth | iceroot, for files | 10:46 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: i would not use extX on a flash-drive for trading files | 10:46 |
| iceroot | raymondjtoth: because you may want to trade with a windows/mac client or maybe a dvd-player and so on | 10:46 |
| nixpix | Curly_Q, which file? Comment out the drive? So that ubuntu doesn't go meddling with that partition you mean? | 10:46 |
| Curly_Q | Yes. | 10:46 |
| abuayyoub | for some reason I can | 10:46 |
| raymondjtoth | iceroot, i only use it with my linux box | 10:46 |

| baba_b00ie | does gnome/ubuntu force you to use at least a single panel ? because it won't let me delete the last one (application menu one) i just want to use docky instead | 11:43 |

| gnomefreak | madjoe: install vnc4server | 11:43 |

| mbelos | Hey guys, I'm on Ubuntu and I want to use Opera as an internet kiosk... When I go into Full Screen mode (or Kiosk Mode) I get two borders (top and bottom). How can I remove these two borders? Chrome and Firefox don't have these borders... Happens in 9.10 and 10.04 Desktop. | 11:44 |

| madjoe | the server package? | 11:45 |
| gnomefreak | vnc4server? | 11:45 |
| knoxville_ | Hello, I've just upgraded to the 10.04, but now my windows 7 installation is gone, how do I fix it? | 11:45 |
| madjoe | yes, I installed vnc4server successfully | 11:45 |
| leagris | madjoe, if you intend on remoting ubuntu boxes your best bet is with freenx/nxdestop (free from nomachine). Nxdesktop has very great performance lightyears ahead of VNC performance wise. | 11:45 |
| gnomefreak | madjoe: than the vncviewer is the issue? | 11:45 |
| madjoe | knoxville_: no, everything's ok, that's a feature to give you more space for Ubuntu | 11:46 |

| gnomefreak | !info vncviewer karmic | 11:46 |
| ubottu | Package vncviewer does not exist in karmic | 11:46 |
| gnomefreak | madjoe: you are going to need a repo like medibuntu | 11:46 |
| leagris | madjoe, and if you intend on remoting to Windows hosts, nothing beat tsclient to connect terminal server service. | 11:47 |
| madjoe | leagris: thanks for the info.. do you have a tutorial for that? I'd like to make it more secure.. by SSH and tunneling if neccessary | 11:47 |
| knoxville_ | madjoe: everything is okay? I want to use dualboot, not only ubuntu | 11:47 |
| madjoe | knoxville_: I tried to make a joke.. ;) | 11:47 |
| leagris | madjoe, nxdesktop actually uses ssh for tunneling. This is a click and go setup, quite easy. | 11:47 |
| knoxville_ | madjoe: ahh.. alright :) | 11:48 |
| madjoe | leagris: exactly what I needed! | 11:48 |
| madjoe | leagris: tsclient is just a viewer for Nxdesktop, or? | 11:48 |
| leagris | madjoe, tsclient is a client for Windows terminal server | 11:50 |
| madjoe | leagris: ok, so it should be doable to use remote desktop from Windows to Ubuntu and vice versa... | 11:51 |
| leagris | madjoe, as for nxserver nxnode nxclient (or qtnx) here it is: http://www.nomachine.com/download.php | 11:51 |
| madjoe | leagris: thanks! so I should choose this NX Free Edition for Linux, I guess | 11:53 |
| leagris | madjoe, yes, remote desktop is doable boths ways. If you remote to windows machine from linux using tsclient->terminalserver you should really tunnel yourself using SSH as the terminal server protocol is bare vulnerable and should not be opened to the wide internet. | 11:53 |
| kennyG_ | Where do I ajust the bright/contrast of my screen? | 11:53 |
| madjoe | leagris: you said it uses tunneling automatically? am I right? | 11:54 |
| leagris | madjoe, nxclient->nxserver automatically has an ssh tunnel. This is not the case of tsclient->terminalserver | 11:55 |
| madjoe | leagris: cool, thanks! | 11:55 |

| dark_neo | I'm doing some contingency planning for my work, designing a backup server, what would be ideal is some sort of RAID/alternative setup so that it would have 3 drives, one in a removable bay so my boss could remove it at the end of the day and take it home, put it back in the morning and have the array copy across any changes to bring the removed drive up to date. Problem is I'm not sure RAID would handle this very well, any ideas? | 13:14 |

| acicula | blueray dvd? | 13:20 |
| JuJuBee | yes | 13:20 |
| dark_neo | acicula: that's why I'm thinking RAID wouldn't handle it, I'll have to look into the cost of tape, disc wouldn't be practical due to the size of the data | 13:20 |
| acicula | JuJuBee, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD | 13:20 |
| JuJuBee | read that already | 13:20 |

| dark_neo | dark_neo: in the hundreds range | 13:21 |
| acicula | well you can get tapes in that range, and you can do incremental backups to keep the cost down a bit | 13:22 |
| Soyo | melrokz, I just added gnome to ubuntu server (so I could edit graphics and such) that may not be the route you want to go but it is a possibility | 13:22 |

| jazman | new ubuntu grub is shit | 13:23 |
| Soyo | !hi | smilingsun | 13:23 |
| ubottu | smilingsun: 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! | 13:23 |
| bazhang | jazman, watch the language | 13:23 |
| jazman | cant get any thing loading | 13:23 |
| dark_neo | acicula: yeh I was just thinking that, we are planning to do incremental backups using rsync and hardlinking, so after the initial backup they'd get much smaller | 13:23 |
| oCean_ | jazman: take your ranting elsewhere please | 13:23 |
| acicula | JuJuBee, maybe dumpHD has been revoked already, dunno | 13:23 |
| oCean_ | melrokz: well, you can install the desktop on top of a server install. Once you started out with desktop install, you can add whatever server packages you need, without losing the desktop/gui | 13:24 |
| JuJuBee | acicula: so am I sol? | 13:24 |
| acicula | dark_neo, well if you can backup to an offsite location i wouldnt bother with tapes | 13:24 |
| jazman | ok then it seems because im not a fan of terminal u dont want to help as i cant boot my pc wwith unbuntu 10.04 or win then it shows how elitist u are | 13:24 |
| jazman | ggodbye | 13:25 |
| Soyo | jazman, what? | 13:25 |
| melrokz | oCean_: oh u mean the server install on top of the desktop one? | 13:25 |
| dark_neo | acicula: perhaps using a 2 drive RAID in the backup server and rsync changes to the external drive (turns out my boss would like to take home a snapshot) | 13:26 |
| acicula | JuJuBee, dunno tbh, any blueray disc can be cracked afaik to get the key so you can view your content. check the dumphd forum perhaps? | 13:26 |
| melrokz | oCean_: that's what i need. | 13:26 |
| theadmin | jazman: heck, if you can't boot, you'll have to use the terminal. Sorry but if you can't use those you can't use Linux. | 13:26 |
| oCean_ | melrokz: no, not exactly | 13:26 |
| JuJuBee | acicula : k, will do, thanks | 13:26 |
| oCean_ | melrokz: once you have installed the desktop, you can add whatever packages you want (apache, mysql or ftp server, whatever) | 13:27 |
| dark_neo | acicula: I'll have to put this to the rest of my team, thanks for your suggestions | 13:27 |
| jazman | i use terminal from time but with other versions i had no probs get the grub_puts error | 13:27 |
| acicula | yw | 13:27 |
| oCean_ | melrokz: but when you started with a server install, you can add the metapackage "ubuntu-desktop" to install the GUI on top of the server installation | 13:27 |
| melrokz | oCean_: oh, my net connection is a slow one (236kbps, 1GB limit p.m.) Server's only 4 study purposes. | 13:28 |
| Soyo | jazman, the gui usually works pretty well but there is occaision where its just much easier or necessary to open up a terminal window and punch a command in. Be thankful for it Windows trys to take that away from you... | 13:28 |
| melrokz | btw, i cant get the server install to update the repos... some error including 'stdin' and 'bzip2' | 13:29 |
| oCean_ | melrokz: ah. my point is, it does not really matter which way you start. The thing is that, for the GUI, there is a meta-package (consisting of several 'real' packages to be installed, which will turn your installation into a desktop install) - but there is no "server" meta-package, so you have to pick the packages you need by hand | 13:30 |
| jazman | soyo some times it is helpful i have used it to much code for me to learn i forget it all i try the copy and paste i have tried re installing grub using the live cd i didnt get it to work i think the mbr is stuffed | 13:31 |
| jazman | do have 3 internal hdrs and 1 usb ext | 13:31 |

| datacrusher | 'morning | 13:39 |
| oCean_ | collink: a little. But what could be, is that the interpreter (first line) is incorrect. For example, when it starts /bin/sh, and you don't have /bin/sh | 13:39 |
| collink | oCean_: I'm trying to set up a nagios user on the machine so that the checks have something to run. a lot of them are compiled checks | 13:40 |
| oCean_ | collink: what is the exact error message? | 13:40 |
| jazman | ill keep trying the command loose me a bit as the drive deso all ways throw me woth win and lin | 13:41 |
| collink | oCean_: -su: ./check_users: No such file or directory | 13:41 |
| jazman | is it worth me trying supergrub | 13:42 |
| collink | oCean_: I'm running these exact same files on 20 other servers with no problems | 13:42 |
| shayisaac | okay | 13:44 |
| shayisaac | can i ask who can direct me to install a tar.gz files? | 13:44 |
| oCean_ | collink: i see. In that case, it might have something to do with nagios setup. You could try #nagios | 13:44 |
| bazhang | shayisaac, what is the package | 13:44 |
| shayisaac | bazhang : LiVES-1.3.3.tar.gz | 13:45 |
| bazhang | shayisaac, lives is in the repositories | 13:45 |
| shayisaac | bazhang : u mean?> | 13:46 |
| bazhang | shayisaac, sudo apt-get install lives | 13:47 |
| collink | oCean_: but the machine it's running on isn't a nagios server, it's just a server to be checked. Nagios will run a lot of these plugins by SSH. The problem is that they won't run for some reason. I think it's missing libraries or something. Any suggestions how to figure out which one(s)? | 13:47 |
| shayisaac | bazhang : hmm ... okay ... i'll try that now bro | 13:47 |
| shayisaac | bazhang : did u mean that this kind of software is recognieable by UBUNTU just by running the apt-get install command? | 13:48 |
| OerHeks | collink plugins that do not run, maybe set the execute bit ? | 13:48 |
| bazhang | shayisaac, yep; always a good idea to check if what you want is in the Ubuntus software repositories First | 13:49 |
| bazhang | shayisaac, you may wish to check the new manual as it has a ton of info on this type of thing | 13:50 |
| oCean_ | collink: (shared) lib checking - use "ldd /path/to/executable" or you could use strace, which renders quite some output though (showing all system calls) like "strace -f /path/to/executable" | 13:50 |
| bazhang | !manual | shayisaac | 13:50 |
| ubottu | shayisaac: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 13:50 |

| Slart | chilli0: ah.. well.. there's probably a switch to set the correct day | 15:08 |
| soreau | layo: You need to uninstall the nvidia glx module that got installed by mistake during the upgrade. To do that, run dpkg -l|grep nvidia and remove all the packages with ii next to their name. Then restart X and it should work | 15:08 |
| Slart | maltron: a crash would might end up in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/syslog the X startup log is at /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. but I think that's just from Xorg detecting screens and such | 15:09 |

| complience | should a fresh install renew the grub? | 15:34 |
| zenlunatic | complience, okay now youre jumping around and confusing me | 15:34 |
| zenlunatic | if your system boots, then no, dont grub install | 15:35 |
| tarikk | ni1s: im not sure wat i did.. output /dev/loop0 9.4g used 8.8. thats the right one | 15:35 |

| rgoytacaz | CaptainTrek: sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner” | 15:37 |
| ZykoticK9 | CaptainTrek, you need to add the Partner repo | 15:37 |
| ni1s | tarikk: see the output of blkid, and no you dont want to change that | 15:37 |
| onetinsoldier | CaptainTrek: enable the 'partner' repository. you can use System --> Administration --> Software Sources ..to do it. after enabling it, you need to update apt's database. on command line it would be, sudo aptitude update | 15:37 |
| onetinsoldier | !partner | 15:38 |
| complience | zenlunatic let me know when you are back | 15:38 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

| oCean_ | StrangeCharm: use the "ScriptAlias" in the Apache configuration | 16:11 |
| StrangeCharm | oCean_, doesn't php assume that .php objects in the www directory are scripts? what does 'ScriptAlias' do? | 16:12 |

| bastidrazor | mezen: that page gives an indepth description.. not much else to know. | 16:12 |

| Reliant | cjdevlin: No. Live is running debian, and my local is Ubuntu. It was working fine in the previous version of Ubuntu. It's likely a default configuration change in the new Ubuntu with Apache or MySQL, but I looked and didn't see anything I could think of causing it | 17:02 |

| soreau | michelle_: So reload ath5k with 'sudo rmmod ath9k && sudo modprobe ath5k' | 17:05 |
| jibadeeha | soreau, i used dvdbackup so they are just regular files ... perhaps i should have generated an iso image and mounted it | 17:05 |

| CaptainTrek | starbugs: nope, but the lag could be from anything | 17:15 |

| starbugs | bastidrazor, do you think it would be faster if I did an full install to the disk instead ? | 17:17 |
| pollywog2 | I installed the LTS version but it never asked if I wanted to encrypt my home directory. Do I need to use the alternative installer for that? | 17:17 |
| soreau | michelle_: It will only work once, since it will unload the ath5k driver so running it a second time would complain that ath5k doesn't exist in /proc/modules (because it's no longer loaded) | 17:17 |
| bastidrazor | starbugs: light speeds faster for an install on your harddrive. | 17:17 |
| CaptainTrek | starbugs: as i said, could be from anything xD | 17:17 |

| pollywog2 | mine must be an obvious answer too but I had already guessed as much | 17:21 |
| bastidrazor | mohamad: once you run sudo nvidia-config you should log out then back in. then run gksudo nvidia-settings .. none of this will work if you have not installed a nVidia driver | 17:21 |
| lectrick | MikeHoncho Where is the knowledgebase and how long is it? | 17:21 |

| GeekSquid | bipin: lots of ways to do that / ubuntuone? | 17:24 |
| starbugs | bastidrazor, correct | 17:24 |
| mohamad | bastidrazor when i type sudo nvidia-config it says command not found | 17:24 |
| bipin | GeekSquid, i tried ubuntuone.. frankly speaking its not so user friendly | 17:25 |
| michelle_ | soreau did i do that right? | 17:25 |
| soreau | michelle_: Ok, reload ath5k now and do 'dmesg|less' and pastebin it | 17:25 |
| soreau | michelle_: Yes you did | 17:25 |
| starbugs | bastidrazor, nvm just tried holding down the ctrl key and now it put me in the boot menu | 17:25 |
| starbugs | bastidrazor, do you know if this can be customized manually using the syslinux cfg files to just go to "try from usb" by default ? | 17:25 |
| bastidrazor | mohamad: then it is not installed. sudo apt-get install nvidia-config | 17:25 |
| michelle_ | soreau so now i type "sudo rmmod ath5k"? | 17:26 |
| bastidrazor | starbugs: no idea. you could try. | 17:26 |
| GeekSquid | bipin: ifolder is propritary, which unless they release for ubuntu, we won't get it | 17:27 |
| mohamad | bastidrazor: now it says " E: Couldn't find package nvidia-config " ,, the nvidia driver was downloaded 30 min ago | 17:27 |
| bipin | mohamad, since i joined late to this channel i missed your question. but I guess your question is to configure nividia drivers.. install envyNG | 17:27 |
| soreau | michelle_: Well you have the ath9k driver loaded which is obviously wrong since it didn't create a wlan0 interface | 17:28 |
| bipin | GeekSquid, ifolder is GPL | 17:28 |
| mohamad | bipin i guess u missed that i've been using ubuntu for an hour now | 17:28 |
| soreau | michelle_: SO, just switch the two in the rmmod/modprobe commands and it should work | 17:28 |
| soreau | michelle_: rmmod ath9k; modprobe ath5k | 17:28 |
| soreau | michelle_: and right after loading ath5k, do 'dmesg|less' so we can see if there's any output to the kernel log | 17:29 |

| GeekSquid | frxstrem: not just format? Then shred, to write zeros | 17:41 |
| soreau | michelle_: Well you have AR2425 and I have AR2414 that works with ath5k on 9.10. I hope there's not a bug in 10.04 that causes it to not work.. in any event, these drivers are included with the linux kernel. So you could try a different version of the driver by trying a different kernel version, be it older or newere | 17:41 |
| soreau | michelle_: But I don't know why it's not working | 17:42 |
| Haly | ubuntunewbie any problem? | 17:42 |

I have a laptop with Ubuntu in it, plus a dsl modem plugged to the wall and also to a router (?) that provides me with wireless.

| === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD | ||
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: can you get to a command line? | 18:30 |
| NightlyUser | grub chainloads vista just fine | 18:30 |
| delac | orangeglo: have you tried enabling them from sound preferences? | 18:30 |
| psusi | karim_: "BCD data"? | 18:30 |
| bluelf | @karim_ when i installed lucid it dint overwite win7 BCD | 18:30 |
| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: I'm on the machine now | 18:30 |
| orangeglo | delac: ive accessed my sound preferences but the "edit" tab isnt there | 18:30 |
| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: I switched to a vt. I'm not totally useless ;) | 18:30 |
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: cool :) do you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 18:31 |
| delac | orangeglo: i thin mic preferences are in input tab | 18:31 |
| deostroll | does any1 know hw to tile windows in ubuntu? | 18:31 |
| orangeglo | delac: where can i access mic preferences? | 18:31 |
| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: yep. X starts, that's not the problem. I get a pretty purplish background, but no list of usernames, etc. | 18:31 |
| delac | orangeglo: you have Input-tab in the sound preferences? | 18:31 |
| wad | Hi folks. I just installed 10.04 on a brand new laptop (Lenovo W510). Problem is that this has an nVidia graphics card, and the resolution of the monitor (1280x1080) isn't on the list. I'm using the nvidia driver that it asked to install. Any suggestions? | 18:32 |
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: ok, rename that file... move it out of the way. then try again | 18:32 |
| NightlyUser | deostroll: perhaps compiz fusion can help you with that | 18:32 |
| orangeglo | delac: yes i do. but under devices for sound input all i have is "internal audio analog stereo" | 18:32 |
| wad | er... 1920x1080 rather. | 18:32 |
| delac | orangeglo: well that sounds right. if you have normal analog mic, that is. | 18:33 |
| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: alright. When I did that, I got the pretty purple background on one monitor instead of both, and at the wrong resolution. still no login window ;) | 18:33 |
| bluelf | <deostroll> this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=470160&highlight=tile+windows although i dont check | 18:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 18:33 |
| orangeglo | delac: oh ok. so why does my mic not work then? | 18:33 |
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: wel, sounds better. but i don't know why you don't have a gdm login dialog window | 18:34 |
| deostroll | NightlyUser, whts the thing u've to type in the shell for that? | 18:34 |
| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: I'm fairly sure that the upgrade broke one of the shared libraries, I just don't know which one. | 18:34 |
| delac | orangeglo: is the sound level set to 100% and not muted? | 18:34 |
| Kraln- | empathy was complaining about segfaulting in libxml2 before I rebooted | 18:34 |
| NightlyUser | deostroll: download it via synaptic | 18:34 |

| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: any way to revert the last X number of apt installs? | 18:35 |
| costre | orangelo I had trouble getting my laptops sound card working right, it has a lot of different speakers here and there and whatnot. I manually changed various parameters in various config files, and it now works perfectly. Google is your friend. Be as specific as you can | 18:35 |
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: you sure everything is fully updated? have you tried... sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade ? | 18:35 |
| NightlyUser | deostroll: when you download it make sure you get the settings manager with it | 18:35 |
| karim__ | It's the graphics driver that stopping you from getting sound! | 18:35 |

| Kraln- | onetinsoldier: only thing that's out of date is the postgres install. updating that now =p | 18:36 |
| karim__ | If it's nvidia it's definitely the driver. | 18:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Bluelf: if you press ALT+F2 and start typing its name does it complete? | 18:36 |
| onetinsoldier | Kraln: roger. that probably won't fix the gdm issue though | 18:37 |
| bluelf | yes ActionParsnip | 18:37 |

| onetinsoldier | Kraln: now that you move the xorg.conf file out of the way, i don't know that a reboot would help, but you might try it. probably won't make any difference though | 18:38 |

| bluelf | ActionParsnip, where does ubuntu software center install apps i m new to linux | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | !backup | devila | 18:39 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: depends on the program, where the files for it get stored, and you woudn't normally need to know. What you should know about though is hidden program user data in Home. | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | Bluelf: all throughout the system. In linux apps don't get put in folders the way windows does | 18:40 |
| orangeglo | delac: hey there | 18:40 |

| sebsebseb | Liara: which graphics card? Which versin of Ubuntu? and yes your not meant to get a black screen when using it | 18:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Kraln: if its an upgraded system you may want to uninstall the nvidia driver at root recovery console, then reboot, login and reinstall the driver | 18:42 |

| devila | how with rescue cd? | 18:43 |

| ActionParsnip | Livingdaylight: I only buy hp so no. Always works 100% out of the box | 18:45 |
| sebsebseb | karim__: conky is nice, tells you about the uptime and some other stuff as well, only thing is it's a bit odd to close it, once its showing on the desktop | 18:46 |

| NightlyUser | livingdaylight: then i suggest you find out why by checking what it requires in the openprinting site | 18:47 |
| livingdaylight | ActionParsnip: I already know my printer is compatible. (read previous sentence) I've installed and used this epson printer since hoary hedgehog and breezy badger | 18:47 |
| gnomefreak | !repos > frank | 18:47 |
| ubottu | frank, please see my private message | 18:47 |

| armenb_ | is there a way I can specify which arch i want through apt-get? | 18:48 |
| bluelf | ActionParsnip, its like keynote , its for presentations | 18:48 |
| sebsebseb | Liara: if you got an ATI card, there probably won't be anything under system > administration > hardware drivers, worth a look to see if there is a graphics card driver for you to install though | 18:48 |

| Kraln- | \q | 18:51 |
| bluelf | ActionParsnip, ah its justok , nothing compared to powerpoint 2010 or keynote | 18:51 |
| onetinsoldier | armenb_: go here --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/ do a search on the package name. in the bottom left, download the 32-bit version of it. you will need to install it on the command line with... dpkg -i --force-architecture <package.deb file> | 18:52 |
| gnomefreak | frxstrem: should include any window manager we provide | 18:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Adamror: pidgin here, clean and simple | 18:52 |
| sebsebseb | Liara: no good trying to get you to install an ATI driver for example, if you don't reallly have that card, for example | 18:52 |

| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: Let me double check because i am sure i have the repos on here | 18:53 |
| gnomefreak | ActionParsnip: .wmp | 18:53 |
| armenb_ | onetinsoldier: I think you're missing my point...I don't want to download individual packages...I want apt-get to handle it all. is this not possible at the moment? | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Dominicdinada: what players have you tried | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Gnomefreak: cool | 18:53 |
| Theravadan | sudo -u tomcat \echo $HOME prints /root but i want that to be /home/tomcat , anyone know how to do this w/ sudo? | 18:54 |
| armenb_ | it seems that fedora/redhat have a relatively elegant way to handle this problem: using the ".x86_64" or ".i386" extensions on the end of package names | 18:54 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: to be honest I am unsure i am importing a network folder into rythmbox and it is saying i need a plugin to continue :/ then it errors and says Windows Media 8 Decoder needed | 18:54 |
| Liara | http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ | 18:54 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : swap will not show in filesystem | 18:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Dominicdinada: tried gnome-mplayer it uses w32codecs and may be nicer. You may need to mount the network share to access it effectively | 18:54 |
| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: I do have the mediabutu repos installed... | 18:54 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_: what do you mean ? | 18:55 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: I do have that for my video but does it handle libraries of mp3s? | 18:55 |
| === OerHeks is now known as Oer | ||
| gnomefreak | dominicdinada: did you look at the libs to install from the wiki link? | 18:55 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: The shares etc are 100% ok it imports all the files up to this point then hangs | 18:55 |
| orangeglo | why does steam seem to lag ?? | 18:55 |
| onetinsoldier | armenb_: it's probably possible, but over my head. | 18:56 |
| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: I have installed all the libs, and apt files from that link at least 5 times. How can i make that more clear ? | 18:56 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : swap is not filesystem where you can store files ..its extension of memory ..used bu OS | 18:56 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : used by** OS | 18:56 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_: there's no swap file on this new ubuntu 10.04 installed | 18:57 |
| gnomefreak | dominicdinada: if it is not working in any media player than you do not have the correct ones or at least not all of them | 18:57 |
| onetinsoldier | armenb_: you might want to look at the following man page --> man apt_preferences | 18:57 |
| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: Well this origional question was Rythmbox as it offers library support | 18:57 |
| Wavesonics | apt-get life | 18:57 |
| orangeglo | i just download cursor selection, and i cant find it in my applications. do i need to restart? | 18:57 |
| NightlyUser | dominicdinada: vlc supports most formats | 18:58 |
| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: I stand corrected on the mediabuntu ... I have the software center added for it but it only has 8 files listed :( | 18:58 |
| gnomefreak | dominicdinada: i dont have a problem with rythmbox playing mp3 or any other extensions that i have | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | Liara: ok quite a lot of Intel hardware according to that, but it does say your VGA is ATI | 18:58 |
| gnomefreak | dominicdinada: dont use softwarecenter use synaptic | 18:58 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : u mean you did not create swap partition while installing ubuntu ? | 18:58 |
| bluelf | Wavesonics, whats life ? | 18:59 |
| spydon | 42 | 18:59 |
| dominicdinada | Hmmm I wish the error gave more details, File name, encoding, etc rather than just a plugin failure/WM8 Decoder needed | 18:59 |
| gnomefreak | dominicdinada: software center works great for our supported packages but not so well on unsupport packages | 18:59 |
| dominicdinada | gnomefreak: BLAH i said I stood corrected :) | 18:59 |
| aeon-ltd | spydon: lol | 18:59 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_: while installing it create a swap partition but i had another ubuntu version install.So it take up 2 of the swap.But when I check at system monitor under file system tab it doesn't show the swap partition at all and my swap partition usage is 0 bytes | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Dominicdinada: you may find its an illegal video tempting you to install some windows virusware | 19:00 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_: quite confusing , | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | Liara: I think you will need to install an ATI driver after seeing your pastebin ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ ) however in that case it will have to be the exact driver as well, and I am not really that sure what you need to do, since I use Nivida not ATI :) So hopefuly someone else can help. | 19:00 |
| sebsebseb | !ati | Liara | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Liara: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 19:00 |
| Audible | Does anyone else have 10.04 and Asus P7P77D motherboard ? | 19:01 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_: making it simple , it shows 7.6GB swap , and 0 byte use which mean it doesn't even use the swap i created | 19:01 |
| soreau | michelle_: Linux doesn't work like that. Drivers are included with the kernel itself and should 'justwork'. If they don't, you can try a different version of the kernel or file a bug report with all the information you have | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | Nightlyuser: any player can play any file given the right codecs | 19:01 |
| CaptainTrek | Audible: no, but may I ask why? | 19:01 |
| wad | I'm using the nVidia proprietary driver. Native res on laptop display should be 1920x1080, but the max that I can get is 1366x768. Totally unacceptable! :) Any ideas? | 19:01 |
| dominicdinada | ActionParsnip: All the more reason to know exactly which file it is I ripped all but a few files in there long ago.... and only have a few i am unsure of | 19:01 |
| bluelf | liara, i use ati ubuntu installed it for me | 19:01 |
| ShadowApex1 | ubuntunewbie: Ubuntu automatically manages and uses swap partitions | 19:01 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : yes ... normally it will only use swap when RAM is full | 19:01 |
| soreau | michelle_: If you remove the module system files, it wont prompt you to install anything, you just wont have any driver loaded (not even a broken one) | 19:01 |
| rosscompwiz | does anyone know how to check firewire and hdmi port work under ubuntu 10.04? | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: maybe you can help, their issue is that, the screen goes black when using sometimes, so I thought may need to install a graphics card driver | 19:02 |
| aeon-ltd | dipu_: no sometimes it will write to swap for apps like gimp | 19:02 |
| Audible | CaptainTrek : i see alot of people have problems getting the microphone to work on this motherboard, and i'm one of the included | 19:02 |

| ph33r | hi again, I have installed lucid, and now I have 2 sets of windows drives in my nautilus, could someone guide me what I can do to set it right ? | 19:02 |
| aeon-ltd | orangeglo: google gnome-look | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | Liara: maybe the driver for the card is ok, and its some other issue with you get black screen sometimes | 19:03 |
| onetinsoldier | armenb_: i think what you're looking for is one of those commands that starts like this... apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-architecture" | 19:03 |
| bluelf | sebsebseb, is the graphic card installed ? Liara | 19:03 |
| gnomefreak | orangeglo: gnome-art gnome-look there are also kde versions of those sites | 19:03 |
| aeon-ltd | ph33r: do you need them? | 19:03 |
| dipu_ | ubuntunewbie : for a pc 7.6 GB swap seems too much to me | 19:03 |
| rosscompwiz | does anyone know how to check firewire and hdmi port work under ubuntu 10.04? | 19:03 |
| orangeglo | ok cool | 19:03 |
| orangeglo | thanks :) | 19:03 |
| ph33r | aeon-ltd: I need one set of them | 19:03 |
| Liara | how do i see that the driver is installed? | 19:03 |
| aeon-ltd | ubuntunewbie: ho wmuch physical ram do you have? | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Nightlyuser: so saying vlc supports most formats is moot, if the codecs are on the system then deadbeef can play just as many formats as vlc | 19:03 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: no Liara hasn't installed a graphics card driver them selves, however heres a pastebin of the lspci which might be slightly useful http://paste.ubuntu.com/438982/ | 19:03 |
| aeon-ltd | ph33r: do you know which one you need, cos one simple mistake could kill all the data in that partition | 19:03 |
| CaptainTrek | Audible: ah, gotcha | 19:04 |
| bluelf | Liara, go to System>administration>hardware drivers | 19:04 |
| gnomefreak | for graphic drivers use hardware manager | 19:04 |
| Axz | Hallo, i'm having trouble opening file manager, getting this error in syslog : http://pastebin.com/c0PRZK8B | 19:04 |
| michelle_ | soreau thanks | 19:04 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: and system > administration > hardware drivers didn't show anything according to Liara | 19:04 |
| ph33r | aeon-ltd: yeah I do, but the thing is, it's showing the same drives twice | 19:04 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: as I thought it woudn't if its ATI | 19:04 |
| ph33r | aeon-ltd: and I can't even mount them, looks like a wrong program | 19:04 |
| dominicdinada | Alright Maybe this will work | 19:04 |
| bluelf | sebsebseb, i did for me check ati site for compatibility | 19:05 |
| aeon-ltd | ph33r: in gparted does it only show one partition? | 19:05 |
| NightlyUser | ActionParsnip: i suggested vlc because it always downloads all the dependancies needed to play most things, whereas with some players that rely on gstreamer, they don't tend to get the gstreamer-bad plugins needed for certain formats | 19:05 |
| sebsebseb | bluelf: sure, but they don't know what card they have exactly, I know theres a command of some sort, but don't remember what that is | 19:05 |
| ph33r | aeon-ltd: yes | 19:05 |
| ph33r | aeon-ltd: I will post the screenie | 19:05 |
| bluelf | sebsebseb, oh .. | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Nightlyuser: if restricted-extras are installed then any media player is good to go, not just vlc | 19:06 |
| dominicdinada | ok hmmm wtf... | 19:06 |

| aeon-ltd | lolwut. | 19:07 |
| onetinsoldier | ActionParsnip: not exactly. i tried all players on some old year 2001 .mov files. none worked, until i tried winff/ffmpeg | 19:07 |
| okelet | hi, is there any way to launch a program in the current gnome session from a remote ssh session? | 19:07 |

| ActionParsnip | Onetinsoldier: then you need codecs for those files :) | 19:08 |
| gnomefreak | sebsebseb: if it isnt shown in jockey-gtk(hardware drivers from system menu) than try the ati site. | 19:08 |
| onetinsoldier | ActionParsnip: yeah.. you are correct | 19:08 |

| ShadowApex1 | Docteh: yeah, PAE isn't needed unless you have more than 4GB of ram and are using a 32-bit OS | 19:12 |
| Axz | ActionParsnip, let me guess need to reinstall whole Ubuntu? | 19:12 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_ , that's the one which I dont know | 19:12 |
| Docteh | ShadowApex1: thx | 19:12 |
| ubuntunewbie | dipu_ , so how do I disable them and assign which swap to use ? | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Axz: not at all. Have you tried reinstalling nautilus any. Did you read the bug link I gave you? | 19:12 |
| dominicdinada | ph33r: never had win7 ult I got 7 prof free from school :/ but run linux on most the pc's | 19:13 |
| Axz | Action first remove it / then install it again? | 19:13 |

| Kraln- | So, turns out that anything remotely related to gnome that relies on libxml2 (gdm, empathy, etc) segfaults. Help? | 19:13 |
| ShadowApex1 | ubuntunewbie: Swap space is automatically managed. If you don't want swap to be used, then you can delete the additional swap partition that you have | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Axz: what does that mean? | 19:13 |
| ShadowApex1 | Daekdroom: I don't believe so. The generic kernel should be fine | 19:13 |
| aeon-ltd | ph33r: you should probably remove it, nautilus can manage paritions on its own, if not you could just use /etc/fstab to mount them at boot | 19:14 |
| lobozoo | hi i need help with rhythembox? | 19:14 |

| ActionParsnip | Axz: did you read the bug I gave you? I've asked you several times... | 19:17 |
| ShadowApex1 | ubuntunewbie: Yes, there's no command to assign swap. There are things you can do to change swap behavior, but that's it. You should check to see if your swap partitions are being recognized by the system (e.g. sudo fdisk -l) | 19:17 |
| Liara | bluelf: sebsebseb: i try to find out the card, give me a minute | 19:17 |

| lei3 | Hi guys, I'm getting this grub stage 1.5 error 2 everytime i try to boot. It was booting fine before until i installed windows on another partition, and then tried to put grub back into the MBR with the grub 2 method. Since that gave me a grub prompt on boot up, i tried the grub legacy method i.e. root (hd0,0) setup (hd0) etc. , now i'm stuck with error 2 stage 1.5 grub. Any ideas? | 19:49 |

| crdlb | Sam_Fisher: you should be able to do something like that with the nautilus-actions package | 20:28 |
| ShadowApex1 | xloosescrewx: Yeah, ActiveX is only compatible with IE as it's proprietary | 20:28 |
| lei3 | BlueEagle: I guess i'll have to repartition, since I can't seem to find any other solution. | 20:28 |

| k-rad | where can i check if the HP laserjet 6p is working under lucid ? | 20:28 |
| blue_anna | guntbert: oo, its because he migrated his system from mint linux. I remember using that and the admin group in that linux distro was called "adm" .. migrating to ubuntu, I lost admin privledges and had to boot to the cd to fix it | 20:29 |
| Hydester | is there an easy way to install madwifi without compiling, etc? | 20:29 |
| raffairon | @k-rad: put that model here http://www.openprinting.org/printers | 20:29 |
| acerimmer | k-rad: it works. i've got one. configure it and send a test page | 20:29 |

| guntbert | blue_anna: I didn't know that (from mint), but please let him keep his adm membership as well :-), its a valid and necessary group in ubuntu too | 20:31 |
| acerimmer | CaptainTrek: yes. install ubuntu tweak and change the login settings | 20:31 |

| blue_anna | how do I get Xcompose working with ibus? there are unanswered posts on ubuntuforums about it, but no solutions | 20:33 |

| Krishnandu | Hi | 20:33 |
| ph33r | soreau: same problem after replacing | 20:34 |
| madjoe | can I create a symlink to a folder? | 20:34 |
| Imperion | is there a more efficient MP3 decoder? | 20:34 |
| acerimmer | Krishnandu: hello | 20:34 |
| ScatterBrain | Is there a way to force mounted file system icons to show up along the right side of the desktop instead of the left? (ie mimic the mac) | 20:34 |
| Imperion | MAD takes 15-20% CPU here | 20:34 |
| soreau | ph33r: Also you can try running emerald-theme-manager in your terminal then crash it to see if there's any interesting output | 20:34 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: I'm feeling generous today, and gunbert too I think :) sure, go ahead | 20:34 |
| Sam_Fisher | crdlb, but right click still just says Move to > Home Folder > Desktop I want to add Picture folders etc | 20:35 |
| lobozoo | Imperion: try XCFA | 20:35 |
| Krishnandu | acerimmer, using irc 4m mob..!! | 20:35 |
| madjoe | blue_anna: thanks, I feel so grateful now... :) how? | 20:35 |
| ph33r | soreau: already did that, http://pastebin.com/D5X8Vizy | 20:35 |
| acerimmer | Krishnandu: ok. and? | 20:35 |
| soreau | ph33r: If you use metacity --replace, does it still happen? | 20:35 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: ln -s from to :) | 20:35 |
| madjoe | blue_anna: oh, it's the same syntax as it's for a file? | 20:35 |
| soreau | ph33r: Ah, I think I know why it's crashing | 20:35 |
| djzn | hello... I am having a strange issue... when I first turn on my computer every day... for the past couple of days, ubuntu "turns off" the computer, just before entering GDM.... how do I trace this log? | 20:36 |
| crdlb | Sam_Fisher: well, you can't edit that submenu as far as I know, but nautilus-actions lets you add your own entries that run arbitrary commands | 20:36 |
| ph33r | soreau: yeah it still happen with metacity too | 20:36 |
| acerimmer | lobozoo: /home - it's hidden by default so you'll have to enable view hidden files | 20:36 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: yea | 20:36 |
| madjoe | blue_anna: if I delete a symlink, my original folder will remain untouched, right? | 20:36 |
| soreau | ph33r: It's probably a bug introduce with latest gtk | 20:36 |
| lobozoo | can you tell me how? | 20:36 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: yup | 20:36 |
| Imperion | lobozoo: I want to *listen* to music more efficiently | 20:36 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: the only real difference is taht the symlink behaves like a file for some commands | 20:36 |
| ph33r | soreau: yep | 20:37 |
| nagydann | What do you know about Xubuntu and Compiz? Especially about their stability ? Are they reliable to use together? | 20:37 |
| madjoe | blue_anna: thank you, I'll be your slave | 20:37 |
| Sam_Fisher | crdlb, So I would just open a folder and then access the extra commands? | 20:37 |
| ph33r | soreau: nice, now I can't even do emerald --replace | 20:37 |
| blue_anna | madjoe: so like rm mysym will work, but error out for the actualy directory because rm wants the -r flag to remove a directory | 20:37 |
| blue_anna | lol | 20:37 |

| lobozoo | Imperion: songbird ? | 20:37 |
| lobozoo | acerimmer: thanx dude | 20:38 |
| soreau | ph33r: the only thing I can say is to build emerald 0.8.4 from releases.compiz.org and see if it compiles cleanly. If not I can help you more in #compiz | 20:38 |
| madjoe | blue_anna: ok, let me try it the way you described... I was playing with -t but no luck, of course | 20:38 |
| ph33r | soreau: coming | 20:38 |
| blue_anna | how do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ? | 20:38 |
| acerimmer | nagydann: xubuntu is intended for lower power/spec boxes. Compiz puts a lot of demand on the system and is intended for boxes with higher specs, especially the gpu | 20:38 |
| Imperion | lobozoo: decoder. | 20:38 |
| k-rad | acerimmer, the laserjet 6p works ? | 20:38 |
| lei3 | why does grub think hd0,1 is an ext2 filesystem when it's clearly ext3 for ubuntu? | 20:38 |
| acerimmer | k-rad: it does | 20:39 |
| k-rad | thank you | 20:39 |
| Imperion | lobozoo: i.e. the library which converts MP3 encoded data into PCM in realtime | 20:39 |
| void^ | lei3: ext3 is just ext2 with some extras | 20:39 |

| ikonia | bluag: so ? | 21:54 |
| bluag | how i can search make install | 21:54 |
| bluag | :) | 21:54 |
| edoceo | This keeps it secure, as some apps have vuln that can be used to write to tmp mounted and exec (if exec is allowed) | 21:54 |
| ikonia | bluag: when you compiled it - you typed "make install" to install it, you need to find every file that installed and remove it | 21:55 |

| Super-Man | oxidizer : what is hydra ? | 21:55 |
| Gun_Smoke | I can't think of a single reason to build rtorrent. | 21:56 |
| oxidizer | it is ssh access software | 21:56 |
| xloosescrewx | can i please get some help? | 21:56 |
| guntbert | Gun_Smoke: after selecting a login name you should see that option at the bottom | 21:56 |
| edoceo | xloosescrewx: look at your firewall documentation, and learn patience | 21:56 |
| whodat | does checkinstall still work for 10.4? | 21:56 |
| oxidizer | no dear | 21:57 |
| oxidizer | its not | 21:57 |
| Gun_Smoke | guntbert, Humm.. might have missed it. I like the way things used to be. | 21:57 |
| oxidizer | Building Debian package... FAILED! | 21:57 |
| Gun_Smoke | xloosescrewx, it's your router most likely. | 21:57 |
| Gun_Smoke | xloosescrewx, nothing to do with linux/ubuntu/transmission | 21:58 |
| xloosescrewx | I have looked at my firewall documentation, and the port is opened properly on my firewall, but with transmission it says it is closed. my router has the port opened | 21:58 |

| guntbert | hmw: really no idea -- sorry -- btw what is a <textarea>? | 22:01 |
| hmw | guntbert: a html tag | 22:01 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: you can't, they would have to go through your network card to use a tool like wireshark | 22:01 |
| bellis | I cannot boot from CD. How can I fix grub? | 22:01 |

| whodat | right | 22:06 |
| mkhanyisi | gdiz, i think at /etc/samba/smb.conf | 22:06 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: is that special hardware? Isn't there a free (opensource) software for using an ordinary NIC? | 22:06 |

| Gun_Smoke | aganice_, 1 | 22:08 |
| webPragmatist | rather how can i | 22:08 |
| undecim | TheMusicGuy: Being able to capture traffic is a necessary part of some WiFi attacks | 22:08 |
| TheMusicGuy | Gun_Smoke: well, basically. But I'm doing it just so that I can see what potential hackers would be. | 22:08 |
| TheMusicGuy | er, see. | 22:08 |
| TheMusicGuy | well be, too, I guess. | 22:09 |

| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: I'd get over that paranioa, people are not out there sniffing packets all day | 22:09 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: cli | 22:10 |
| Gun_Smoke | TheMusicGuy, I understand.. I could careless what you do with the information, but capturing it is pretty easy. You need a wireless card that supports running in promiscuous mode | 22:10 |
| Gun_Smoke | TheMusicGuy, and lots of software will grab what you're after... kismet, wireshark etc.. | 22:10 |
| mkhanyisi | webPragmatist, i don't recommend that but take a look at these utilities: parted, cfdisk and fdisk | 22:10 |
| Super-Man | TheMusicGuy : But actually some usually sniff around these days. | 22:10 |

| gdiz | mkhanyisi and Super-Man, thank you, the thing I'm having trouble with is what is associated with what for the code. For instance, 0775, does the 0 refer to things like UID or is that the 5 | 22:11 |

| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: I don't believe you | 22:11 |
| gdiz | and it is the opposite of what it will create (i.e. put 4 to get a 3) | 22:11 |

| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: If I intended to steal and abuse other people's data I wouldn't be asking about it on a public chat over an unecrypted public network. | 22:13 |
| mneptok | TheMusicGuy: the intention is inconsequential. this channel does not allow discussions of illegal activities. full stop. | 22:13 |
| mkhanyisi | gdiz, 0775 is equivalent to -rwxrwxr-x for files, the first zero is the default, if its not zero, some other attributes are set (like sticky bit, etc) | 22:13 |

| Ty | ikonia: why not??????? i dont want to lose anything | 22:17 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: how will seeing what others see help you protect the network | 22:17 |
| mkhanyisi | webPragmatist, treat extended as an envelope and the logic partition as the real letter, now you cannot shrink the envelope if the letter fills it up. first shrink the letter first | 22:17 |
| ikonia | Ty: upgrade will upgrade what you always have | 22:17 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I didn't say it was for my family network. You're putting words in my mouth. | 22:17 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: you said it was your job as the family IT guy | 22:18 |
| Ty | ikonia: i dont want to upgrade i want to install ubuntu 10.04 | 22:18 |
| UT8F | http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/9725/screenshotxz.png I called it "When windows dont let you play anymore" lol | 22:18 |
| ikonia | !install | Ty | 22:18 |
| ubottu | Ty: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 22:18 |
| ikonia | Ty: you said you where running 9.04 and wanted to upgrade | 22:18 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: that's not the same as family network. A lot of people I know use public hotspots. | 22:18 |
| ikonia | 2:14 < Ty> oxidizer: im running ubuntu 9.04 and want to update to ubuntu 10.04 | 22:18 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: I get Error: Could not detect file system. | 22:19 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: My family's home network is as encrypted as I can make it. | 22:19 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: so ? public hot spots are encypted | 22:19 |
| Ty | ikonia: how do i not lose anything!???? | 22:19 |
| monotoko | UT8F, whats the nice bar down the side?> | 22:19 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: not really... | 22:19 |
| ikonia | Ty: then you don't want to install - you want to upgrade | 22:19 |
| monotoko | with all your info on it | 22:19 |
| === monotoko is now known as Monotoko | ||
| LjL | TheMusicGuy: i'm a bit lost in all this. you want to detect other people sniffing you? you can't, unless those people *transmit* something, which they won't do if they're just passively sniffing. | 22:19 |
| UT8F | monotoko: conky? | 22:19 |
| mkhanyisi | webPragmatist, what application are you using to resize? | 22:19 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: parted | 22:19 |
| oxidizer | if you upgrade only nothing change | 22:20 |
| Monotoko | UT8F, thanks...iv been looking for something like it for a while | 22:20 |
| mizipzor | whats "sudo apt-get remove python" supposed to do? | 22:20 |
| Ty | ikonia: while im installing ubuntu 10.04 i want all my stuff to stay there. | 22:20 |
| UT8F | Monotoko: no problem | 22:20 |
| ikonia | Ty: you are NOT intalling ubuntu, you are upgrading, and it will not delete your data | 22:20 |
| Ty | ikonia: i want to partition my hard drive | 22:20 |
| mkhanyisi | webPragmatist, as I have told you, you rather be an expert on those, otherwise stay away and use GParted | 22:20 |
| harrumph | I'm trying to get a Canon CanoScan 4400 to work with lucid lynx...found the model on this hardware blacklist...any ideas? http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardware_blacklist | 22:20 |
| oxidizer | its not possible becoz you have to format it to ext 4 | 22:21 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: if i had to guess… gparted is just going to say, sorry, no can do since it's lvm | 22:21 |
| TheMusicGuy | LjL: right, I understand that. But I want to be able to see what of my data others can see, and how it will look to them. For example, suppose I have two network devices, one my sniffer and one my "dummy victim", and I've connected both of them to the same public network. | 22:21 |
| whodat | get another printer...hehe | 22:21 |
| ikonia | oxidizer: no he doesn't have to format it | 22:21 |
| Bigshot | what does this error mean? tar: /home/src/ve-2.2-beta3/drivers/portaudio/portaudio_drv.o: Cannot open: Permission denied | 22:21 |
| Monotoko | ikonia, what did he do?? | 22:21 |
| bezdomni | bigshot: sudo it? | 22:21 |
| mkhanyisi | webPragmatist, lvm, what is lvm and whats special about it? | 22:21 |
| oxidizer | thats tru but if he want fresh installetion | 22:21 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: you know what data they can see - if it's unencypted - everthing | 22:21 |
| Pyker | Bigshot: it means you don't have permission to acess that file/folder. just run it under sudo | 22:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | LjL: I don't really know how sniffing works and I want to see it first-hand so I know how to defend against it. | 22:22 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: how will seeing it help you defend | 22:22 |
| Pyker | Bigshot: * access | 22:22 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: um, what? that's the way I learn. | 22:22 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: learn what | 22:22 |
| Bigshot | Pyker, i can't even copy it? | 22:22 |
| Pyker | Bigshot: i don't think so | 22:22 |
| Bigshot | i don't want to open it or anything just copy the file | 22:22 |
| Pyker | Bigshot: run it with sudo | 22:22 |
| oxidizer | TY just do upgrade you loose nothing | 22:22 |
| dipu_ | oxidizer .. i think he should have mounted home on separate partition | 22:23 |
| whodat | wpa2 is unbreakable so encrypt yours with it | 22:23 |
| Monotoko | ikonia, i was trying to help TY via PM...thanks to you he's now gone...what warrented that kick?? | 22:23 |
| webPragmatist | LVM is a flag | 22:23 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: ...in general. I learn from first-hand experience. | 22:23 |
| AhmedBH | Hi, I have just UNINSTALLED KDE and still when my computer boots up it says KUBUNTU how do i remove it ? | 22:23 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: | 22:23 |
| oxidizer | yaa may be | 22:23 |
| sarmeast | um | 22:23 |
| webPragmatist | dammit theres too many people in this chan | 22:23 |
| mizipzor | my package manager went nuts and started removing a shitload of packages... must have done something stupid... is there a way to check which packages that have been remove compared to a base install and reinstall them? | 22:23 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: there is nothing to learn, seeing a packet won't help you protect against it | 22:23 |
| webPragmatist | it's making my computer blow up | 22:23 |
| sarmeast | I've got a problem with 10.0.4 | 22:23 |
| sarmeast | my laptop is force connected to a CRT | 22:23 |
| sarmeast | and I can't get the refresh rate to work properly | 22:23 |
| sarmeast | it flickers like crazy | 22:24 |
| sarmeast | so i can't even see text | 22:24 |
| LjL | TheMusicGuy: well then you want a packet sniffer i guess, though i wouldn't know about recommending one, but there's kismet for instance | 22:24 |
| Super-Man | !enter | sarmeast | 22:24 |
| ubottu | sarmeast: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:24 |
| TheMusicGuy | LjL: yeah I've kind of gathered what tools I would need at this point in the discussion. Now I'm just trying to explain my perspective to Ikonia... | 22:25 |
| ted_ | hello. i'm trying to find somebody who understands in some detail how the ubuntu 9.10 installation is set up. i have a script that runs from preseed, like "d-i preseed/run string foo.sh", and i seem to have different stuff in /lib/modules/$(uname) from this script's perspective than i do when i run the "Execute a shell" menu item. are there multiple initrds that get mounted in succession or something? | 22:25 |
| LjL | TheMusicGuy: i see. | 22:25 |
| AhmedBH | Hi, I have just UNINSTALLED KDE and still when my computer boots up it says KUBUNTU how do i remove it ? | 22:25 |
| ikonia | utter nonsense | 22:25 |
| o-brown | Hello, I've tried to install a program through the Ubuntu software centre but it crashed during the installation, now I can not install or remove anything and it shows me an error message related to python packages, can some one help me with this please ? | 22:25 |
| sarmeast | and now I can't go back in because I set my refresh rate too high, is there a way in the command line to fix this? | 22:26 |
| mizipzor | are there any system repair functions in ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: ...are you, like, convinced that I'm going to steal credit card numbers or something? | 22:26 |
| Pyker | !enter | sarmeast | 22:26 |
| ubottu | sarmeast: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:26 |
| sarmeast | scuse me, but i did. I put that last statement on one line | 22:26 |
| TheMusicGuy | Seriously. If I were up to no good, I wouldn't be anywhere near here. | 22:27 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: no, your statment just makes no sense, you want to see packets so you can defand against them, if the network is open you can see everything, if the network is protected you can't see anything, either way seeing a package won't teach you anything about how to protect, so I think you are either a.) telling lies b.) have no idea about what you're asking | 22:27 |
| Pyker | sarmeast: put the whole question in one line or two, so people can spot it easily... | 22:27 |
| harrumph | my package especially | 22:27 |
| ted_ | is there another channel where preseed geeks are more likely to be lurking? | 22:28 |
| pynchon | http://www.gnaa.eu/export/343/trollforge/pynchon/dcc.html | 22:28 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: pressed ? | 22:28 |
| whodat | TheMusicGuy your in the wrong channel for that stuff, go to #backtrack | 22:28 |
| MaJic_NinJa | does any 1 know how to get the windows to drag to different workstation on ubunt lucid | 22:28 |
| Loshki | o-brown: can you paste the error message to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com | 22:28 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: sorry - that wasn't for you again | 22:28 |
| mizipzor | when i did "sudo apt-get remove python", did it also remove every package that depended on python? | 22:28 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I'm sorry you don't understand why I want to know what I want to know. | 22:28 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I don't know how else to explain it. | 22:29 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: there is no reason for you to sniff packages at all, as that won't teach you how to defend against anything | 22:29 |
| LjL | mizipzor: no, that shouldn't happen unless you do "sudo apt-get autoremove python" | 22:29 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: if something is "open" needs to be open to work so you can't defend | 22:29 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: so your logic is nonsnese | 22:29 |
| sarmeast | Ok. I have Ubuntu 10.0.4. Due to backlight problems, my laptop is force-connected to a CRT. This makes the screen flicker like crazy. I can't see any text legibly. I also tried to reset the refresh rate in the control panel after hunting around a bit. What is the command prompt way to get the refresh rate correct? | 22:29 |
| Loshki | ikonia: just tell him how to sniff packets and be done with it... | 22:29 |
| o-brown | Loshki: yes one moment please | 22:29 |
| dancek | ted_, i don't really know a lot but i've got the feeling that debian-installer is a chroot system or something so that might explain it | 22:29 |
| ted_ | ikonia: preseed, the debian autoinstall thing | 22:29 |
| ikonia | ted_: I don't think there is a specific channel for that to be honest, | 22:30 |
| lvh | How do I install a TrueType font on Ubuntu? | 22:30 |
| LjL | !fonts | lvh | 22:30 |

| Super-Man | sarmeast : sudo service gdm restart | 22:30 |
| porter1 | lvh, stick them in the .fonts directory in your home folder. | 22:30 |
| whodat | TheMusicGuy go to #backtrack the NSA and FBI are there and will be glad to help you | 22:30 |
| Loshki | ted_: perhaps on #debian itself? | 22:31 |
| Pyker | LOL | 22:31 |
| Pyker | sorry for that | 22:31 |
| mizipzor | LjL, hm... i dont know what happened then... it started removing packages like crazy... i though 829 mb was insanely much for python >.< | 22:31 |
| dupondje | 48599 frames in 5.0 seconds => is that a descent value for glxgears ? | 22:31 |
| ted_ | dancek: yeah, i've uncompressed and uncpio'd the 9.10 initrd, and updated stuff there, and it shows up from the "Execute a shell" ash shell i get, but not from that script | 22:31 |
| LjL | mizipzor: wait sorry i misread what you typed. *yes*, that does remove everything that depends on python (i misread you as asking whether it would remove packages that python *depends on*) | 22:31 |
| sarmeast | Super-Man: Will that fix the refresh rate for a crt? | 22:32 |
| Super-Man | sarmeast : try | 22:32 |
| sarmeast | how do you boot straight into the command line? | 22:32 |
| mizipzor | LjL, thats very bad then i assum... system nuke? =p i havent installed much, is there a way to compare my currenty packages to a "base install" of ubuntu and reinstall anything thats missing in mine? | 22:32 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: Maybe my logic is nonsense, maybe not. but I have to experiment with it to make sure. The more likely case is that I'm NOT an idiot but that I'm not explaining what I want in a way that makes sense to you. | 22:32 |
| o-brown | Loshki: ok it's done | 22:33 |
| LjL | mizipzor: install the package "ubuntu-desktop", that will restore most if not all packages | 22:33 |
| Loshki | o-brown: ok, what was the url it gave you back? | 22:33 |
| mizipzor | LjL, got it, thanks | 22:33 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: nope, you're just not making any sense. You can't defend against an open network, it has to be open to work | 22:33 |
| ted_ | dancek: the confusing part is where it would be chrooting to | 22:33 |
| o-brown | Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B6ZdBuYB | 22:33 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: is there not a clish gui version of gparted | 22:33 |
| ted_ | dancek: i've searched the initrd filesystem for modules.dep, and there's only one | 22:33 |
| webPragmatist | like gparted for ssh heh | 22:33 |
| mizipzor | LjL, haha, no internet connection on it... screw it, ill just plug the usb stick in there again | 22:34 |
| webPragmatist | mkhanyisi: what i did instead was resize the disk (it's a vm) and tried mkpart… but now when i try to add a partition to the free space it says i'm overlapping (even though I put 16.2GB vs 16.1GB | 22:34 |
| Loshki | o-brown: and which command is that from? | 22:34 |
| === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux | ||
| dancek | ted_, meh, i can't help you, try looking at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller and talking at #ubuntu-installer or even #debian | 22:34 |
| ted_ | ok thanks | 22:34 |

| onetinsoldier | If you break my apt/dpkg, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine! | 22:36 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: again, maybe there's some piece of information that I am unknowingly withholding that would make my intent seem more sound. As is stands, however, my intents make perfect sense to me. Please don't assume what I'm trying to do is in any way a waste of time simply because you don't have the whole picture as I see it. | 22:36 |
| TheMusicGuy | ikonia: I'm done discussing this. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | TheMusicGuy: there is no picture, you cannot protect an open network, it needs to be open and clear to work | 22:37 |
| TheMusicGuy | *sigh* nevermind. | 22:37 |
| kr3w | how do i mount an iso image? | 22:37 |
| o-brown | Loshki: it seems that all this affected the python different packages, but even when I want to re-install python, I get this error | 22:37 |
| Loshki | o-brown: I don't see tryton in my packages lists. Where did you try to install it from? | 22:38 |
| h00k | ubottu: iso | kr3w | 22:38 |
| ubottu | kr3w: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:38 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: sorry, what do you mean ? | 22:38 |
| mizipzor | LjL, to prevent this from happening again, would you mind telling me where i can find documentation on how to correctly handle programs installed from source? i want to download, compile and install python manually... i assume the package manager needs to know that python is installed in some way so it doesnt try, brining up conflicts and whatnot | 22:38 |
| o-brown | Loshki: from the Ubuntu Software Center | 22:39 |
| LjL | mizipzor, lots of stuff in Ubuntu depends on python, and installing it manually seems like one of the worst ideas one could come up with, honestly | 22:39 |

| Loshki | whodat: you couldn't afford what it would cost to pay people for this work... | 22:42 |
| LjL | mizipzor: generally speaking, the best thing to do to install programs from source would be to make a proper debian package out of them, so that they're properly integrated into the systeem. since that's difficult, however, another "decent" choice is to install them outside of the main tree, in /usr/local, while perhaps using "checkinstall" to make a (not particularly standards-adhering) debian package out of it automatically. | 22:42 |
| whodat | so how do you folks get training? | 22:42 |
| LjL | mizipzor: what i say doesn't really work for installing something as big and as important as python, though. | 22:42 |

| Super-Man | mizipzor : Haa ! That was cool. thanks | 22:48 |
| TheMusicGuy | mizipzor: not to mention the kernel. 0_0 | 22:48 |
| buck_work | Question: Is there a list somewhere of apt mirrors for Ubuntu? Not necessarily ISO mirrors, but the actual package tree? I'm using a local mirror with apt-proxy but the backend is just pointing to us.archive, and we'd like to see if there's a mirror at one of our I2 peers instead. | 22:48 |
| mizipzor | TheMusicGuy, dont know then, just picked the first hit on google =p | 22:48 |
| Loshki | o-brown: wow, that is seriously messed up. I'm not sure I can help you... | 22:48 |
| TheMusicGuy | mizipzor: Yes, I did that too. Thank you. ;) | 22:48 |
| mizipzor | Super-Man, from the looks of it, you shouldnt try it | 22:48 |
| eudaimon | Let me repeat my this! I have a problem regarding booting the ubuntu 10.4. when i try to boot it from cd instead of menu, a violet screen appears with a three small white icons at the bottom of the screen. and it blocks there. | 22:48 |
| mizipzor | TheMusicGuy, no offense, but youll be amazed how often that works ;) | 22:48 |
| Super-Man | mizipzor : Thanks for your concern ; using virtual box can revert it in case. | 22:49 |

| puewi | hi ! i need remote login my server using one bash scripts ,like # telnet 10.1.200.200 expect login send "<user>" expect "password" send "<password>" , the problem is how can i hide the password in this scripts ,so other can run this scripts but they can't see the password for the remote server | 22:49 |
| o-brown | Loshki: ok thank you | 22:49 |
| ni1s | eudaimon, graphics card? | 22:49 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: looks bad. i might be able to help, but it would probably take a while by the looks of that | 22:49 |
| Super-Man | mizipzor : :) | 22:50 |
| mizipzor | eudaimon, did you check the md5 of the iso you burned? in case it was a bad download? | 22:50 |
| wad | I've plugged my second monitor in, and I can see the desktop on it, and my mouse can move to it.... but how do I drag an application's window over to it? | 22:50 |
| buck_work | LjL: Awesome, just what I needed. Thank you! | 22:50 |

| Elite | I was wondering what would be more stable KDE 4.4 or Gnome (what ever number its on) | 22:50 |
| eudaimon | something | 22:50 |
| TheMusicGuy | mizipzor: I've had success about 3/4 of the time with obscure linux-related searches. | 22:50 |
| Loshki | o-brown: you can repeat your question no more often than every 15 minutes until a dpkg expert comes online, takes pity on you and helps you out... | 22:50 |
| onetinsoldier | Loshki: i bet i can get it worked out. it'll just take time | 22:50 |
| TheMusicGuy | mizipzor: this being one of the 1/4 of the time... | 22:50 |
| LjL | Elite: that's a matter of subjective opinion. it's easy enough to try out both. | 22:50 |
| puewi | sorry for repeat , but i really need help | 22:50 |
| puewi | hi ! i need remote login my server using one bash scripts ,like # telnet 10.1.200.200 expect login send "<user>" expect "password" send "<password>" , the problem is how can i hide the password in this scripts ,so other can run this scripts but they can't see the password for the remote server | 22:51 |

| onetinsoldier | Loshki: roger that | 22:51 |
| onetinsoldier | let me glaze over it some | 22:51 |
| ikonia | puewi: the quick answer is you can't, use ssh keys | 22:51 |
| ni1s | puewi, use ssh keys | 22:51 |
| ni1s | yeah | 22:51 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: but why I can not simply remove all the packages mentioned and re-install them ? | 22:51 |
| puewi | ok i 'll try ssh keys thanks | 22:52 |
| jaay | How do I Tripple boot microsoft ubuntu on my ls | 22:52 |
| jaay | MacBook | 22:52 |
| LjL | puewi: you can set the script -r, and then only the script owner and root will be able to read it, but i hope you're aware that both this script thing and using telnet are kludges that are probably very vulnerable to attacks. | 22:52 |
| LjL | gah. | 22:53 |
| ikonia | jaay: bootcamp | 22:53 |
| ikonia | jaay: that can be disussed in the channel ##apple | 22:53 |
| Loshki | Elite: gnome has slightly more users than KDE, so in theory it gets exercised more, so 'in theory' it should be stabler. In practice, who knows? They're both apparently stable enough for everyday use... | 22:53 |
| [Ptrck] | irc://irc.freenode.net | 22:53 |
| jaay | Bootcamp has no option for Linux apple seems very ubuntu unfriendly | 22:54 |
| pokeh | anyone know how to start up the LIRC daemon | 22:54 |
| LjL | pokeh: i guess "sudo service lirc start" | 22:54 |
| ikonia | jaay: bootcamp does have options for linux | 22:54 |
| ikonia | jaay: discuss in ##apple please | 22:54 |
| ScottMac | ikonia: but OSX might kill it at any point | 22:54 |
| ScottMac | I bought a new box to deal with that issue | 22:54 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: well, that looks like that what you need to do, and i'm going to show you how to do it. i can't really answer your question exactly per say. i'm not certain why the postinst scripts are bombing out. | 22:55 |
| ikonia | ScottMac: I can't be responsible for what apple may or may not do in the future | 22:55 |
| lobozoo | hi does anyone know why i get a line in the centre of my screen when i watch videos ive downloaded in fullscreen? | 22:55 |
| ScottMac | ikonia: the options that exist for bootcamp and linux aren't reliable | 22:55 |
| ScottMac | I wouldn't even recommend it | 22:55 |
| pokeh | LjL: That worked. Thanks D: | 22:55 |
| soupdragon | ScottMac do you know about getting ubuntu on a mac? | 22:55 |
| soupdragon | ;D | 22:55 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: tell me if you get the same problem if you run this command --> dpkg-reconfigure -a you probably will. just thought i'd have you try that first though | 22:56 |
| ScottMac | so how often are packages updated from upstream? libtcmalloc on amd64 wasn't updated since 2008, on x86 it was this year | 22:56 |
| ScottMac | they fixed this in debian in January | 22:56 |
| ikonia | ScottMac: depends | 22:56 |
| Loshki | onetinsoldier: o-brown: I noticed an 'exec format error' message in there, which suggests a packaging error, perhaps for the wrong architecture? | 22:56 |
| ScottMac | I'm installing it from source for now but its not exactly idea | 22:56 |
| lobozoo | hi does anyone know why i get a line in the centre of my screen when i watch videos ive downloaded in fullscreen? | 22:56 |

| Loshki | lobozoo: I'd suspect a hardware problem actually. Faulty GPU card...? Try a different player first though... | 22:58 |
| whodat | cody try earcandy | 22:58 |
| JanSch | hi, does anyone know how to disable the NX bit emulation on ubuntu? | 22:58 |
| m_ | 2 lines before configure | 22:58 |
| JanSch | (preferably without having to reboot and in a non-permanent way) | 22:58 |

| cody_ | whodat: where do you extract it to? any folder? | 22:59 |
| mizipzor | the binary drivers confuse me... which package is the foss driver and which is the binary proprietary one? the latter use to be faster for me but i always forget which package it is | 22:59 |

| whodat | cody its a package | 22:59 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | I am tryin to install 10.04 on a sata drive (only hd on the machine) and it stops at 5% when going into partition operation.. anyone know why | 22:59 |
| Loshki | lobozoo: you're shopping for a new video card? | 22:59 |
| whodat | install normally | 22:59 |
| lobozoo | Loshki: no player? | 23:00 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: here is the results, http://pastebin.com/f9Si2XbK | 23:00 |
| Loshki | lobozoo: oh, silly me, any one of totem, xine, mplayer, vlc... | 23:00 |
| cody_ | whodat: its a .gz. i open it up and i get bin/data/debian/earcandy/po. im not exactly sure what to do with all of these files | 23:01 |
| lobozoo | Loshki: ill try one thanx | 23:01 |
| whodat | use synaptic | 23:01 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: interesting.. that was it? try apt-get -f install you will probably get the errors then, but try it | 23:01 |
| whodat | cody you want the deb use the package mamager | 23:02 |
| ChogyDan | mizipzor: FOSS=nouveau proprietary=nvidia | 23:02 |
| PeterDrop | system testing never stop, any idea? | 23:02 |

| SamuelPeterson | I am having issues with ubuntu lucid. I ran the live USB of 10.04 on a COMPAQ Presario V5000 and the wireless worked, but after installing it there is no wlan0 at all when I run ifconfig. lspci shows the device there though... | 23:02 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, it was working before | 23:02 |
| AbuBadr | hi there | 23:03 |
| mizipzor | ChogyDan, so its nvidia-current i want? correct? | 23:03 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: can you bring up the live cd? | 23:03 |
| AbuBadr | i have trouble installing flash player for firefox | 23:03 |
| ChogyDan | mizipzor: that is the latest. The hardware driver manager should sort it out for you | 23:03 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, yes | 23:03 |
| eudaimon | mizipzor, ni1s, graphic card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 256MB, ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso sum checked | 23:03 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: i bet you get the long list of errors with the packages. so, we will go ahead and edit the list of packages that your package manager(dpkg) has installed. start by --> cd /var/lib/dpkg tell me when your there | 23:04 |
| AbuBadr | i'm using ubuntu 64 bit | 23:04 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: it think it returns the same message, http://pastebin.com/0MeLrv6L | 23:04 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: yes.. it's the same package manager problem | 23:04 |
| === apol__ is now known as apol | ||
| eudaimon | mizipzor, ni1s, so let me repeat it, when i boot from cd a violet screen shows up with three white icons | 23:04 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: if you bring up the live cd, you should be able to run gparted from it. See if you can partition the disk that way. If you are successful, then you should be able to do a subsequent install and tell it to use the existing partitions you've just created... | 23:05 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: ok, should I switch to root to do this ? or always write sudo ? | 23:05 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: try this PPA https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash | 23:05 |
| ni1s_eee | eudaimon, thats odd, try adding nosplash to the kernel cmd line in grub.cfg | 23:05 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: cd /var/lib/dpkg ...you will be doing everything as root user of course. i'd just use 'sudo -i' get yourself a root prompt. however... | 23:05 |
| Loshki | onetinsoldier: gonna edit the status file? | 23:06 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, even when I create a partition the installation freezes ..... could it be a driver issues with the drive? | 23:06 |
| RAX_bg | hi guys i have problems with phpmyadmin. Instead of getting the login screen i have a blank page. can u help? | 23:06 |
| onetinsoldier | Loshki: yes | 23:06 |
| ScottMac | ok begging comment posted on launchpad | 23:06 |
| AbuBadr | xangua, this is not free!! | 23:06 |
| eudaimon | ni1s_eee, maybe i should mention that i have win 7 installed on my laptop... | 23:06 |
| Renji | Hello guys, can some one help me change the 'lock screen' ? I done what the readme suggests but i cant make it work :/ | 23:06 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: so when you run gparted from the livecd, creating a partition freezes and never completes? | 23:06 |
| ChogyDan | RAX_bg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin | 23:06 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: ok I'm there | 23:06 |
| dcmeese | How do I install "git xar patch"? | 23:06 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: ¿¿ | 23:06 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, no just the install even when there is a partition | 23:07 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: if you don't use a command line editor, then you need to get a graphical one started as root, for example --> gksu gedit & | 23:07 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: ok, make a copy of the status file... cp -v status status.bak | 23:07 |
| RAX_bg | ChogyDan: i have read that | 23:08 |
| whodat | what is the advantage of using gksu rather than sudo ? | 23:08 |
| AbuBadr | xangua, ok how to install? i didn't find download link | 23:08 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: then open up the status file in text editor. tell me when your ready | 23:08 |
| cody_ | whodat: i have earcandy installed and i still dont see my headphones in my alsamixer | 23:08 |
| sebsebseb | whodat: gksudo | 23:08 |
| cody_ | whodat: did you have this problem as well? | 23:08 |
| sebsebseb | whodat: if its graphical and you want root do gksudo otherwise do sudo | 23:08 |
| whodat | yes | 23:09 |
| sebsebseb | whodat: if you do sudo instead for a grapical app, you might mess up some config | 23:09 |
| JoshyFox | Haaiii :D | 23:09 |
| Loshki | U-b-u-n-t-u: might be hardware, might be software. If I were you, I'd try again with 8.04... | 23:09 |
| Renji | Hello guys, can some one help me change the 'lock screen' ? I done what the readme suggests but i cant make it work :/ | 23:09 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: first add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash | 23:09 |
| xangua | then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-nonfree | 23:09 |
| sanjay | I installed ubuntu 10.04 in my computer.Italready have windows 7.But after I Installed ubuntu my windows 7 operating system not showing in my grub.config list.. what to do ? | 23:09 |

| whodat | look earcandy over closly theres several sink options for in and out | 23:09 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: ok both actions are done | 23:09 |
| U-b-u-n-t-u | Loshki, ok | 23:09 |

| NerveClasp | hello! is there any way to get back to XSplash in Ubuntu 10.04?? | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | !wine | mr | 23:10 |
| ubottu | mr: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 23:10 |

| whodat | I have to choose the analog out for mine to work | 23:10 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: ok, now, in that file you see how every package is listed as a section? each package has a section of it's own in there | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: seems so | 23:10 |
| sebsebseb | !info xsplash | 23:10 |
| ubottu | xsplash (source: xsplash): X based bootsplash. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.5-0ubuntu2 (lucid), package size 16 kB, installed size 96 kB | 23:10 |
| nixwolf | have an HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Modem utilizing AT&T... how can I get it to work on Lucid? | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: not sure if its just remove what you can of Plymouth and put xplash on, probably not that simple | 23:11 |
| AbuBadr | xangua, ok done then what to do? | 23:11 |
| Loshki | sidney: ubuntu server edition doesn't normally come with a desktop. so can you say a bit more about what your requirements are? | 23:11 |
| NerveClasp | I installed xsplash, but it doesn't work// | 23:11 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: Anyway I assume your asking since you got a Plymouth issue, whats the issue? | 23:11 |
| vlt | sidney: What? k desktop, open vnc, file servers??? | 23:11 |
| o-brown | onetinsoldier: yes I see this right now | 23:11 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: now restart the browser and go go flash | 23:11 |
| sanjay | I installed ubuntu 10.04 in my computer.Italready have windows 7.But after I Installed ubuntu my windows 7 operating system not showing in my grub.config list.. what to do ? | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: Xsplash sucks really btw | 23:12 |
| NerveClasp | Plymouth is just not for me | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: why not? | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: you can have a text boot instead by the way | 23:12 |
| NerveClasp | it looks creepy | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: looks creepy? you can change the theme | 23:12 |
| NerveClasp | I loved XSplash themes | 23:12 |
| AbuBadr | xangua, :( not working | 23:12 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: quite a few nice Plymouth themes in the 10.04 repo | 23:13 |
| NerveClasp | still the idea of xsplash themeing was better | 23:13 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: then you did not do what i said | 23:13 |
| xangua | (17:09:37) xangua: AbuBadr: first add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash | 23:13 |
| xangua | (17:09:37) xangua: then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-nonfree | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: so downgrade to 9.10 maybe? | 23:13 |
| sidney | Loshki: i installed the minimal ubuntu install now i need a desktop. This is a file server that needs to be remote capable and lite | 23:13 |
| AbuBadr | xangua, i did | 23:13 |
| ChogyDan | sanjay: try sudo update-grub | 23:13 |
| Suprano | greetings | 23:13 |
| xangua | AbuBadr: so you installed flashplugin64-nonfree¿¿ | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: by doing a clean install of course, since you can't just downgrade an install of 10.04 | 23:13 |
| cody_ | i just accidentally deleted my top panel | 23:13 |
| mr | thanks will try some more but am old newbie with comprehension difficluties when it comes to comp verbalization | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | !downgrade | NerveClasp | 23:13 |
| cody_ | how can i restore it? | 23:13 |
| ubottu | NerveClasp: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 23:13 |
| NerveClasp | 10.04 gave me some new good things lacking in 9.10 | 23:13 |
| mr | will go and play and try | 23:13 |
| Suprano | I just booted the live dvd of the installer for 10.04. It now presents me with a login screen and no indication what login data to use. | 23:13 |
| sebsebseb | NerveClasp: such as? | 23:14 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: ok. i want you to do two things for every package that was having a problem in your pastebin. 1) remove the entire section of text for that package in that file. 2) in your root prompt, go to /var/lib/dpkg/info and do --> rm -fv *package_name* | 23:14 |

Be certain though that the parent process is something you're willing to kill (and again, zombies don't really hurt anything) | 23:49 |
| onetinsoldier | o-brown: ok, cool. see you in a bit | 23:49 |
