| mkquist | santisnight: do you have a windows disk? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mkquist | santisnight: cd? | 00:00 |
| santisnight | mkquist, Yes | 00:00 |
| uLinux | :) | 00:01 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: i think that those icons in the menu are up to the theme you're using | 00:01 |
| khunter619 | So I just right click sda3 ==> resize and move? | 00:01 |
| Dalinuxman | Finally i made it :D | 00:01 |
| mkquist | santisnight: probably easy way is to boot from that, and run fixmbr from recovery console, then reinstall grub, after you get windows to start | 00:01 |
| wildbat | khunter619, ya~ you just need a tiny space ~ like 1-2 MB | 00:01 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: i think they are decided by the theme you've chosen | 00:02 |
| n00bie | ok i thought i had an install cd i had a live cd. i had a really broken pc, had to bend 37 CPU pins straight regunk acetone pcb clean and bam i got a machine but i got no ubuntu | 00:02 |
| khunter619 | wildbat: you want me to make a new partition? or move the old partition? | 00:02 |
| n00bie | and that makes me very sad | 00:02 |
| mkquist | khunter619: actually you can just make a new partition at the beginning of you main hd | 00:02 |
| n00bie | can someone first please tell me how to change my keymap | 00:02 |
| mkquist | khunter619: a very small one... | 00:02 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: ok. i'm using the default icon theme. where is that theme stored so i can change it? | 00:02 |
| ikonia | n00bie: system->prefernces->keyboard | 00:03 |
| wildbat | khunter619, you need resize some partition to make space right? | 00:03 |
| mkquist | khunter619: i forgot how many primaries you can have before | 00:03 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: did you check the cd for errors? | 00:03 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: wildbat helped me install Grub to the MBR yesterday, will that be deleted? | 00:03 |
| n00bie | no i have no ubuntu | 00:03 |
| santisnight | okay. so just throw in the windows disk, if it works then type fixmbr in windows's command console?? | 00:03 |
| n00bie | im in irssi in a console | 00:03 |
| mkquist | khunter619: no | 00:03 |
| n00bie | running from a live CD | 00:03 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: you know where to change themes? just checking that first... | 00:03 |
| n00bie | i WANT ubuntu | 00:03 |
| wildbat | khunter619, nope grub is in your mbr now | 00:03 |
| ikonia | n00bie: what do you want to do then ? | 00:03 |
| mkquist | khunter619: but you will probably have to update it | 00:03 |
| n00bie | im hoping you are s kind to help | 00:03 |
| tripelb | cjdevlin, thanks. (I figured that out about a minute after I pressed Enter. Must be telepathy. (grins, web-telepathy) | 00:03 |
| n00bie | when i tried to install with the normal installer the intel video driver failed | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: first, stop spamming the channel with rubbish | 00:04 |
| n00bie | it said lots of files were missing | 00:04 |
| khunter619 | wildbat: here is screenshot again http://i50.tinypic.com/23uahaa.jpg | 00:04 |
| n00bie | ActionParsnip: how should i provide this information instead | 00:04 |
| khunter619 | so just make a new FAT32 partition at the start | 00:04 |
| ikonia | n00bie: then the CD is not valid | 00:04 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: yes. I'm using a custom theme, but the default icon theme. | 00:04 |
| khunter619 | ? | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: boot to the cd, on the first screen you can choose to check the cd for defects | 00:04 |
| _pg_ | Hello all, how can I get iTunes to see my music on my rythmbox? | 00:04 |
| mkquist | khunter619: you still have an open area there in the beginning, 80gigs... | 00:04 |
| tripelb | Is 10.04 more picky than 9.10? (9.10 boots from hard drive; 10.04 does not boot from liveCD) | 00:04 |
| ActionParsnip | n00bie: did you also check the ISO using MD5 testing? | 00:05 |
| wildbat | khunter619, WOW you have 80 GB free at the beginning for what ? XD but yea~ | 00:05 |
| ikonia | tripelb: nope both identical in that respect | 00:05 |
| _pg_ | How do I tell Rythmbox to share it's music library with iTunes on a mac on my local network? | 00:05 |
| tripelb | n00bie, yes. I learned that. | 00:05 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: can you define picky please? | 00:05 |
| wildbat | khunter619, NTFS or FAT32 work | 00:05 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, (9.10 boots from hard drive; 10.04 does not boot from liveCD) | 00:05 |
| webPragmatist | Question | 00:05 |
| sontek | What do I have to do to get this to play in chrome in ubuntu? http://is.gd/cqyMC | 00:05 |
| ikonia | tripelb: sounds like a bad cd | 00:06 |
| mkquist | wildbat: i wonder, would he be able to just copy like with dd to make another windows partition on a primary? | 00:06 |
| _pg_ | webPragmatist, hey, ive seen you in #joomla! | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: did you MD5 test the lucid ISO? Did you check the CD for defects? | 00:06 |
| webPragmatist | When going through the ubuntu installer does it create a /boot partition for you http://screencast.com/t/NjMwNDA5M | 00:06 |
| webPragmatist | _pg_: uh doubtful | 00:06 |
| _pg_ | webPragmatist, or #mac? | 00:06 |
| webPragmatist | yea probably | 00:06 |
| Roasted | Does anobyd know if Shotwell is in 9.10 | 00:06 |
| ikonia | webPragmatist: not unless you tell it do | 00:06 |
| Roasted | 's software center? (sorry hit enter to fast) | 00:06 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: i checked ~/.themes/ but i dont see any icon themes. | 00:06 |
| _pg_ | webPragmatist, ah well ello there! lol | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !info shotwell karmic | 00:06 |
| ubottu | Package shotwell does not exist in karmic | 00:06 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | roasted | 00:06 |
| ubottu | roasted: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: if you open up the Appearance theme chooser, then --> click Customize --> Icons tab ....what icon these does it show you are using? | 00:06 |
| Roasted | thanks. was just curious. | 00:07 |
| sontek | !rtsp | 00:07 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I will check the liveCD as soon as I can find a windows machine. It's stunningly hard in Ubuntu. I made 2 CD's and each has the problem. (I did the last one at the lowest speed and with simulation) I've not had any CD failures from this same purchase of CD's. | 00:07 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: well further along it asks if i want to install grub does it do it then? | 00:07 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: or is grub not an actual partition | 00:07 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: in which case what is this /boot partition really for | 00:07 |
| ikonia | webPragmatist: no, it assumes you already do, grub is installed to the mbr | 00:07 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: when you find that out... try this command and see if you see the package name in there... dpkg -l '*theme*' | grep icon | grep ^ii | 00:07 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: wildbat: I made 1.1 GB FAT32 partition in the begining | 00:07 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: then finally... dpkg -L <package_name> | 00:07 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: okay whats /boot for? | 00:07 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: i suggest you check your ISO. A bad ISO will make a bad install. There is a reason MD5 exists as well as the CD checker | 00:07 |
| webPragmatist | heh | 00:07 |
| Dalinuxman | I'm confused.. | 00:07 |
| _pg_ | How do I tell Rythmbox to share it's music library with iTunes on a mac on my local network? | 00:07 |
| wildbat | khunter619, well that will work but too much space for it XD 1-2 MB is fine | 00:08 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: i'm asking because on my dedicated servers they install a /boot partition…. but i don't on my vms…. just wondering how to do it | 00:08 |
| santisnight | mkquist, okay. so just throw in the windows disk, if it works then type fixmbr in windows's command console?? | 00:08 |
| ActionParsnip | _pg_: share you music folder with samba, then configure your other systems to access the files | 00:08 |
| webPragmatist | also how do i keep parted from looking at /dev/fd0 making it take forever to start | 00:08 |
| mkquist | khunter619: i think thats a little overkill, but ok | 00:08 |
| cjdevlin | santisnight: how is it going? | 00:09 |
| ikonia | webPragmatist: it holds boot data info | 00:09 |
| wildbat | santisnight, mkquist, got this site that can work from linus side: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector | 00:09 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: wildbat: wait I will make 32 MB (min size allowed) | 00:09 |
| _pg_ | ActionParsnip I cant just have it show up as a shared library? Rythmbox sees the itunes one.... | 00:09 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: the theme i'm using is named "MyTheme" and the icon theme MyTheme is using is called "Ubuntu-Mono-Dark". dpkg returns nothing | 00:10 |
| Striking7 | Hey everyone - I have an atheros wireless card using the ath9k drivers. I'm trying to make a 2nd device in managed mode and connect it to the same network asz the first | 00:10 |
| mkquist | khunter619: probably better, wasted space and all | 00:10 |
| santisnight | cjdevlin, uh... alright? i haven't tried anything yet i haven't got all the information. | 00:10 |
| Striking7 | The first, wlan0, is connected and working fine | 00:10 |
| webPragmatist | ikonia: hrm? this is what gets held in the /boot…… if i create an ext4 /boot does the installer know to use it? | 00:10 |
| webPragmatist | http://screencast.com/t/ZWMyYzY2 | 00:10 |
| Striking7 | I can create wlan1 using the "iw" command just fine | 00:10 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I did check the lucid iso. ---> ActionParsnip, I will check the liveCD as soon as I can find a windows machine. It's stunningly hard in Ubuntu. I made 2 CD's and each has the problem. (I did the last one at the lowest speed and with simulation) I've not had any CD failures from this same purchase of CD's. | 00:10 |
| mkquist | santisnight: yes, that should make windows boot | 00:10 |
| mkquist | santisnight: then you will need to reinstall grub to dual boot again | 00:10 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: roger. give me a few moments | 00:10 |
| Striking7 | but when I try to associate it with an essid using either "iw connect" or "iwconfig" it says the device is "busy" | 00:10 |
| Striking7 | Anyone have experience setting up a 2nd wireless device in managed mode with the ath9k drivers? | 00:11 |
| mkquist | wildbat: how will that get windows booting? | 00:11 |
| webPragmatist | and why in the world is there two of everything in that /boot :( | 00:11 |
| ActionParsnip | _pg_: maybe itunes shares stuff by default, just because one appdoes it doesn't mean they all can | 00:11 |
| hateflash | !flash | 00:11 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:11 |
| mkquist | webPragmatist: are you looking at santisnight pastebin? | 00:11 |
| santisnight | mkquist, okay, i guess i'll pop back in, if and when i have a question. | 00:11 |
| webPragmatist | mkquist: huh | 00:11 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, checking the iso is not that hard. Checking the CD takes a page of explaination and pasting code, with many possibilities for error. --> In windows it is simple. | 00:11 |
| webPragmatist | mkquist: no? | 00:11 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: theres a package called ubuntu-mono what was that second command you asked me to do? | 00:12 |
| _pg_ | ActionParsnip, how do I make a folder a samba share? I installed samba from terminal... | 00:12 |
| mkquist | webPragmatist: sry nvmind | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: could always install karmic then immediately upgrade to lucid | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | !samba | _pg_ | 00:12 |
| ubottu | _pg_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 00:12 |
| webPragmatist | _pg_: google that one… it's pretty straight forward | 00:12 |
| ActionParsnip | _pg_: you can share folders using nautilus if you use it | 00:12 |
| _pg_ | ActionParsnip, webPragmatist does it matter that its a mac and not a pc? | 00:12 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: i ran, 'locate Dark | less'... i am going to assume it's the Humanity-Dark theme, but don't know for sure. perhaps it is the one you are listing? ubuntu-mono.. don't know | 00:13 |
| pompa | Hi everyone, there is a method to increase the resolution of the screen on my netbook? | 00:13 |
| santisnight | mkquist, what about that link wildbat / cjdevlin were linking? is that essentially the same thing or what? | 00:13 |
| webPragmatist | _pg_: no? you are using ubuntu? | 00:13 |
| wildbat | mkquist, it work the same as fixboot in windows | 00:13 |
| tripelb | That's a good idea ActionParsnip -- on the other hand, I want to preserve this hard-drive -- THAT WORKS. (if it's not broken dont fix it) and install 10.04 on another hard drive. | 00:13 |
| webPragmatist | _pg_: by default your user directories are shared if you installed samba… you just have to configure a smbuser using smbadd or whatever | 00:13 |
| mkquist | wildbat: that doesnt 'fix' anything, it just informs | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: the Humanity-Dark theme is contained in the 'humanity-icon-theme' package | 00:14 |
| mkquist | santisnight: wildbat: still need fixmbr to get windows back... | 00:14 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: wildbat: ok now there is empty 41 MB filesystem as Primary Partition. Now what should I do? | 00:14 |
| pompa | Because sometimes I cannot see some buttons of the windows, and they are not resizable in height | 00:14 |
| santisnight | mkquist, okay. | 00:14 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: my guess is that would be it... humanity-icon-theme. so now do a dpkg -L humanity-icon-theme ...to see where the files are located | 00:15 |
| santisnight | brb | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | _pg_: no it doesn't matter, if your system isnt sharing the data then you will need to make it | 00:15 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, my life involves 3 computers, all old(AGP-PCI age so not worth buying RAM for) -- I'm doing the best that I can. I might switch back to the Dell (VGA only) | 00:15 |
| _pg_ | webPragmatist, i just right clicked the music folder and said make it shared and now it mounts on the mac. but not as a library in itunes | 00:15 |
| shnbrdy | anyone have a link to troubleshoot wifi in 10.04? | 00:15 |
| mkquist | khunter619: copy over the windows boot files... ntldr, NTDETECT.COM and boot.ini from you windows install to the new partition | 00:15 |
| webPragmatist | _pg_: no clue | 00:15 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: clear as mud now? ;-) | 00:15 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: the old on will run Lubuntu beautifully | 00:15 |
| wildbat | mkquist, i try that be4 it work ~w/o booting the win XP CD | 00:16 |
| cjdevlin | _pg_ you have to add the folder to itunes? | 00:16 |
| Striking7 | I solved my problem! Woo! | 00:16 |
| Striking7 | If anyone ever has the same issue and finds this in the logs... disable the network-manager service | 00:17 |
| wollomat | pompa: if you increase the resolution, the buttons will probably get smaller | 00:17 |
| mkquist | khunter619: know what... shouldve thought about this, you still need a windows cd to make it work, and you dont have one anymore huh? | 00:17 |
| Striking7 | pop up a terminal and type "sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop" then your manually configured stuff will work | 00:17 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: I have the ISO file | 00:17 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: and yeah, it would be helpful if there were an index.theme in ~/.themes. i know what you mean there. but i guess that doesn't get used for the themes you can install in Lucid with a package manager | 00:17 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I have fought long and hard to get this drive working as it is. ((They are ALL old ones. Even this one that I am using. They all run Ubuntu.)) I will go look up the difference that is Lubuntu since you mentioned it. -=|=- (the Dell has a bad video card so if I boot from this hard drive it will go black out. Sich.) | 00:17 |
| pompa | wollomat: the problem is that the resolution seems to be at the max. also if the diagnostic tells me that the video should support a much bigger one | 00:17 |
| mkquist | khunter619: any way you do this, i think youll need a windows disc/usb drive to get to recovery console in windows | 00:18 |
| _pg_ | cjdevlin, you are a genius | 00:18 |
| schlaftier | pompa: by the way, you can move windows beyond the screen borders if you click anywhere in them while you hold down the Alt key, I think | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: it will most likely be a PATA drive which you can still buy :) | 00:18 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: ok, soi know where this thing is located, but what file would i edit to change an icon? | 00:18 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: btw I can only find boot.ini in the windows partition | 00:18 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: Lubuntu uses LXDE by default and VERY light apps, its waay lighter than XUbuntu | 00:18 |
| mkquist | khunter619: right, thats where it should be | 00:18 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: I can't find ntldr, NTDETECT.COM | 00:19 |
| cjdevlin | _pg_: it's hard to determine the level of newness for some people. particularly mac people who are used to not having to manually do anything. so apologies if that was too simple. some people really don't think about it. | 00:19 |
| pompa | schlaftier: that's right, anyway is quite annoying. I think I can set the res. to higher values | 00:19 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: maybe because I messed with super Auto Super Grub Disk | 00:19 |
| mkquist | khunter619: also in the windows partition | 00:19 |
| mkquist | khunter619: should still be there | 00:20 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: perhaps here one of these two --> /usr/share/icons/Humanity-Dark/index.theme | /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/index.theme | 00:20 |
| octatone | anyone know how to fill out the a Required-Start init for an other init.d script (not a virtual service)? | 00:20 |
| pompa | schlaftier: but I do not get why the setting in the control panel doesn't agree | 00:20 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: hmm thats what i thought but i cant understand those files. they don't contain anything that deals with folder names or at least it doesn't look like it | 00:20 |
| schlaftier | pompa: maybe the video card can do more, but not the screen (TFTs usually have only one native resolution) | 00:21 |
| _pg_ | cjdevlin, no I was being completely sincere. and thats a pretty accurate description of what was happening lol | 00:21 |
| unkmar | all your base are mine | 00:21 |
| pompa | schlaftier: I see. Thanks | 00:21 |
| infid | does ssh-agent integrate with the ubuntu/gnome keyring? | 00:21 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: I right clicked the file system to hopefully copy the name of the media, but thats frozen now | 00:21 |
| unkmar | so, does the 10.04 Live CD support a base install? | 00:22 |
| _pg_ | cjdevlin, i just had to make the "music" folders "shared" in ubuntu and then I mounted them in osx and "added them to library" without moving or consolidating or giving itunes control of anything | 00:22 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: how do I end task it | 00:22 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: i got to go but thanks for the help. I'll try to find info on theme editing later | 00:22 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: you got me. i'm not a themer. i know how to install them, from .tar.gz's, even x-cursor-themes which seem troublesome in Lucid from a .tar.gz. but i don't know much more really | 00:22 |
| onetinsoldier | DeoFavente: ok, good luck. cheers | 00:22 |
| cjdevlin | _pg_: good news. glad the issue was resolved. | 00:22 |
| DeoFavente | onetinsoldier: thanks | 00:22 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: i mean right click then properties | 00:22 |
| _pg_ | webPragmatist, ActionParsnip thanks for the help! | 00:22 |
| schlaftier | pompa: I had the funny situation where I plugged an external monitor to my netbook which had higher resolution, and it showed only part of the desktop on my netbook | 00:22 |
| bitkiller | why, after upgrading, do packages appear as "local or obsolete"? | 00:22 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | the JACK audio connection kit gives me an error when i try to run it | 00:23 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | 19:16:35.300 Could not connect to JACK server as client. - Overall operation failed. - Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info. | 00:23 |
| mkquist | khunter619: well you could try to click on the panel above and choose close | 00:23 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | any idea on why ? | 00:23 |
| FloodBot3 | DJ_HaMsTa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:23 |
| webPragmatist | when i run parted it takes forever to load… is it trying to access like fd0? | 00:23 |
| unkmar | how hard is it to add boot from CD in grub? | 00:23 |
| i3luefire | im trying to install ubuntu 10.4 but i want my root fs to be btrfs. can anyone here help me? | 00:24 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: close doesnt work | 00:24 |
| mkquist | khunter619: or you could goto terminal and 'sudo killall nautilus' | 00:24 |
| jshriver | Greetings, perhaps a silly question | 00:24 |
| thebleeding | hi | 00:24 |
| ActionParsnip | i3luefire: use custom partitioning | 00:24 |
| jshriver | IF you run 32bit Ubuntu on a 64bit system can you still run 64bit code? | 00:25 |
| thebleeding | I need to slow down my mouse | 00:25 |
| thebleeding | it is way to fast | 00:25 |
| thebleeding | i need no acerlration | 00:25 |
| Dalinuxman | jshriver: Dont think so | 00:25 |
| mkquist | khunter619: might wanna try a reboot after making the new partition | 00:25 |
| maco | jshriver: if you make a 64bit vm.... | 00:25 |
| pompa | schlaftier: that's normal I think. At the university I saw something like that a bunch of times | 00:25 |
| Dalinuxman | jshriver: not natively | 00:25 |
| jshriver | I plan to use it as a development machine specifically for 64bit computation | 00:25 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: thanks for 'sudo killall nautilus' it worked | 00:25 |
| jshriver | ok ty, will go ahead and grab the 64bit version. The website said not recommend for regular use so kinda worried me :) | 00:25 |
| i3luefire | ActionParsnip, so the partitioner will format btrfs if i do custom? | 00:25 |
| pompa | schlaftier: But maybe it is because in Italy university is diying | 00:25 |
| mkquist | jshriver: ? you can run 32bit software on 64bit system, but its not taking advantage like 64 bit software would | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jshriver: no, the kernel will need to be 64bit to run 64bit commands | 00:25 |
| Dalinuxman | jshriver: something like that | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | i3luefire: if its an option, yes. You can always install an extra package or option to get the filesystem | 00:26 |
| schlaftier | pompa: same here (Germany), people are expected to bring their own hardware to connect to the projectors | 00:26 |
| thebleeding | why in ubunt u can you not ajust the dpi settings of a mouse | 00:26 |

| i3luefire | ActionParsnip, i added the btrfs tools thru synaptic & gparted still doesn't have that fs | 00:28 |

| thebleeding | there is no mention of anymouse in my xorg config | 00:28 |
| mkquist | khunter619: those files are not on your windows partition? the ones i listed? | 00:28 |
| wildbat | khunter619, you will have to eidt your boot.ini i think, your boot.ini booting the partition (1) | 00:28 |

| tripelb | ActionParsnip, here's a longer and better view of the 3 computers. <-- still working hard with bad computers (3! all so old they are agp-pci and not worth buying ram for) and several tiny hard drives that are full. (#1 bad video card only does VGA. #2 (this one) RAM faults. last memtest was outrageously bad. #3 (given to me recently) wont see the ethernet. This is really wierd. Roommate of the one who gave it to me still hasn't talked. But it has only 512 RAM | 00:32 |
| tripelb | anyway.) | 00:32 |
| mkquist | khunter619: first cd to you windows partition, the ls -a | 00:32 |
| cjdevlin | dabba: what version of chrome are you using? | 00:32 |
| mkquist | khunter619: then you could do a cp to the new partition, if its mounted, youll probably have to manually mount the new partition too... | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: 512mb is plenty for slim DE/WMs dude | 00:32 |
| cbrinke1 | I had suspected that the language-support-* packages would overlap with locale-gen, but it looks more like application style libraries/dictionaries...? | 00:32 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: cp? | 00:33 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/218723/ list of files | 00:33 |
| mkquist | khunter619: ls to list, cp to copy | 00:33 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: if you use a minimal install then install lxde on it you will have a very slim, efficient OS | 00:34 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: did you see the list of files? | 00:34 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip> tripelb: it will most likely be a PATA drive which you can still buy :) ---+ (a bit confused, what will be a PATA drive? == my present plan is to look at newer USED computers. . with PCI-e and SATA. I cant see buying more out of date stuff. | 00:34 |
| mkquist | khunter619: looks like the software you used to make the usb stick work, uses custom loaders... | 00:34 |
| ActionParsnip | tripelb: the drives in old computers were PATA, then SATA came along and is more common in new computers due to speed | 00:35 |
| mkquist | khunter619: not sure how that will work, but i guess you can 'try' to copy the ones they are using... not sure it that will work tho... probably the u- files | 00:35 |
| tripelb | ActionParsnip, I need to copy and put all the pieces of this conversation in a text file and save it... just in case of a freeze. I value you taking your time. We shall meet again here. | 00:36 |

| Athen | is there a notable difference between upgrading my distribution via the update manager or apt compared to installing a fresh copy of the new one ? | 00:40 |
| onetinsoldier | dabba: close out firefox... then run, dpkg --purge flashplugin-installer | 00:40 |
| khunter619 | mkquist: thanks for the help...I will buy external CD drive, as right now I just get blinking underscore, when I boot using Grub....can't think of another way...thanks mkquist & wildbat | 00:40 |
| cjdevlin | dabba: i tried that site w/ 375.55 and everything worked. you mentioned the volume controls and such | 00:40 |
| onetinsoldier | dabba: then add this ppa flash repository with this command --> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash | 00:40 |
| dabba | cjdevlin: odd, going to try onetinsoldier's ppa repo, hopefully works out | 00:41 |
| mkquist | khunter619: hold on, im rereading widlbats page, and it does look like a linux way to fix windows | 00:41 |

| Chaorain | I am having a problem with 10.04 where I can't shut down and lose access to the internet. I heard that this is because of a memory leak in X. Is that true? | 00:44 |

| Daekdroom | dabba, precisely | 00:45 |
| onetinsoldier | dabba: if you're running 32-bit, then i'm not sure what the issue is.. sorry :-( | 00:45 |
| infid | wollomat: i see, well it looks like ssh-agent can store the passphrase | 00:45 |
| dabba | tis ok, always worth trying things :) | 00:45 |
| onetinsoldier | dabba: yeah, that's 32-bit | 00:45 |

| chilipep4 | wow, empathy really has issues. i couldn't get nickserv to identify my name on empathy, but no problem with pidgin... | 00:45 |
| wollomat | infid: yes it does | 00:46 |
| maco | chilipep4: yeah empathy irc support is still pretty raw. thats why on first run, it doesnt even offer irc as an option | 00:46 |
| maco | chilipep4: and i mean empathy devs intentionally do that so that people who havent been warned dont use it | 00:47 |
| chilipep4 | maco: oh, hmm. i wonder why ubuntu ever switched to empathy. i could only guess that it's because it's more "gnome-ish" | 00:47 |
| infid | wollomat: but do you know where ssh-agent stores it? | 00:47 |
| SovereignEntity | when i boot i get the error message An error occurred while mounting /media/sdc1 | 00:47 |

| wollomat | infid: no. hopefully, in memory that won't be swapped out to disk | 00:47 |
| infid | i see | 00:47 |
| maco | chilipep4: yes, it's gnome's default client. empathy devs are talkng about splitting out the irc part into a separate gui that still shares the telepathy backend because IM and IRC tend to work better with really rather different interfaces | 00:47 |
| chilipep4 | maco: ahh, that makes sense. i never use IM, so i guess i wouldn't have known | 00:48 |
| maco | chilipep4: if you dont IM at all, can i recommend xchat instead then? its specifically made for IRC | 00:49 |
| mixxit | hey can anyone recommend a really lightweight graphical browser | 00:49 |
| infid | wollomat: does ssh-agent get activated by the gnome-keyring? | 00:49 |

| mememe | ok i must have been given multiple pages. the page i went to talked about 9.10 and newer having grub2, and oler versions like jaunty needing to update. | 01:20 |
| mememe | honestly, i'm not lying or refusing to follow instructions. I'm just a freaking n00b doing this less than one day. could you guys please have at least a little patience with me? | 01:21 |

| mememe | ok, so if so, then why did i get a bash error, and why when i got that and reported it here, did i get told "no one told you to type that"? | 01:23 |

| mememe | someone in this room told me that, ikonia | 01:24 |
| ikonia | mememe: don't you dare tell me to have patience with me if you can't be bothered to read links that I'm giving you to help you | 01:24 |
| mememe | then you told me no one had. | 01:24 |
| mdg | acerimmer_: the F5D7010 is recognized and connects, but connection keeps dropping, even on an open network | 01:24 |
| ikonia | mememe: no-one in this room told you to type "!grub2" | 01:24 |
| acerimmer_ | mdg: ok, whatever package you downloaded to get it working for 9.04 SHOULD be updated or updatable. Consider enabling backports in your software sources and running software update to see if the old drivers get captured. Failing that, go to the RTL or belkin sites to see if you can search out linux driver downloads | 01:24 |
| mememe | ikonia, someone did. i'm sorry if you missed it. and, again, i am SORRY i didn't follow the wiki link which i am now reading. thankyouverymuch | 01:25 |
| mdg | acerimmer_: can you refresh me - http://ubuntu.backports.com ? | 01:25 |

| mememe | mdg i'm totally game for the complete switch. but right now juyst getting the side-by-side option to work is frustrating. I started with a live cd for ubuntu 9.10, which partially installed and had errors, and then doig the live ugrade to 10.4, which apparently skipped grub and other elements | 01:34 |

| ubottu | redstar: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 01:35 |
| mdg | mememe: upgrade? | 01:35 |
| redstar | oh thanks ubottu | 01:35 |
| mkquist | mememe: you still have windows intalled? | 01:35 |
| mdg | mememe: you have much important in your ubuntu install? | 01:35 |
| CaptainTrek | is there any way to sync an entire partition off of a drive and onto a secondary drive? | 01:35 |
| mememe | mdg i started today with only a windows xp home sp3 installation. I started ubuntu, tried the demo but it forced me to select a side by side or total installation. everything has been downhill from there. | 01:35 |
| mdg | mememe: by chance this was not a wubi install? | 01:35 |
| redstar | i shall speak no more in here | 01:36 |
| progesterone | Question: is there any pre-installed font on Ubunutu that resembles Verdana font? | 01:36 |
| === tootroot is now known as \x20lol | ||
| mememe | mkquist: i have a 35gb file system which is unrecognizable, and no functionning windows boot option, so arguably the answer would be no, but that was not the intent nor the install selection i chose | 01:36 |
| === \x20lol is now known as tootroot | ||
| mememe | mdg i have nothing in my ubuntu install that could be repeated in another afternoon's worth of work. | 01:36 |
| mememe | do not know what a wubi installi s, so probably not one. | 01:37 |
| mdg | mememe: I would seriously consider getting a 10.04 live cd and installing over the borked ubuntu upgrade (or perhaps just stick with 9.04 to get it working) | 01:37 |
| acerimmer_ | more anti-FOSS bull http://www.dumblittleman.com/2010/05/8-reasons-to-switch-to-windows-7-if-you.html | 01:37 |
| mememe | correction, mdg: there is nothing in ubuntu that connot be complete erased without regret except for tthe time it took to install it. | 01:38 |
| brokentu | hello :) my X server does not display anything so i cannot install ubunto | 01:38 |
| mdg | mememe: Its truly best to to do a reinstall rather than upgrade - I think we all learn that the hard way | 01:38 |
| DeoFavente | progesterone: i do not believe so, but verdana can be installed via the msttcorefonts package - to install type "sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts" without the quotes into a terminal | 01:38 |
| mememe | mdg: ps, my live cd for 9.10 no longer boots, so i can't retrace to 9.10, apparently. | 01:38 |
| mdg | mememe: you could boot you 9.04 live cd just to check your partitions and what type they are | 01:38 |
| brokentu | i can do it manually if pointed to instructions or you can help me make my X server display so I can do it like the cool kids | 01:38 |
| brokentu | problem: monitor is receiving no signal | 01:39 |
| mdg | mememe: ooo you are in a pickle - no live cd, no windows cds | 01:39 |
| mdg | mememe: no way to burn a live cd - have a friend who could do it? | 01:39 |
| mememe | mdg: it's a "karmic koala" cd, whatever the number is, and it won't boot or be recognized for some reason. | 01:39 |
| DeoFavente | anyone know of a nautilus theming guide? i need to fix an old theme... | 01:39 |
| ikonia | DeoFavente: maybe something on gnome-look.org ? | 01:40 |
| CaptainTrek | is there any way to sync an entire partition off of a drive and onto a different drive? | 01:40 |
| mdg | mememe: I've had that happen to me when I have install problems and kept rebooting and rebooting | 01:40 |
| ikonia | CaptainTrek: cp -Rp | 01:40 |
| mdg | mememe: perhaps you have a USB jump drive you could spare? | 01:40 |
| mememe | well, for the pickle i'm in, here's the deal. i have amac without a keyboard (it's in transit from a repair) that has a drive that can write, but no wayt to give it the instructions right now. i have this pc, which has only a readable cd-rom drive. so i can't burn a live cd just right this minute. | 01:40 |
| CaptainTrek | ikonia: cp -Rp <drive>? | 01:40 |
| mdg | mememe: still you would need access to a windows or ubuntu machine to make a bootable USB | 01:41 |
| ikonia | CaptainTrek: cp -Rpx /source /new_drive_mout_point | 01:41 |
| mememe | i do have a USB drive... i think it's 8gb. is that big enough and capable for creating a bootable ubuntu live installer from? | 01:41 |
| progesterone | DeoFavente Thanks for your question. Unfortunately I can't tell every client to install it. I've to put Tahoma-equivalent font in Ubuntu in CSS. | 01:41 |
| mdg | mememe: plenty big | 01:41 |
| mdg | mememe: you still need a working windows or ubuntu install..... | 01:42 |
| Typos_King | mememe: once booted from the usb in the iMac, with no keyboard, how do you plan to burn anything ? :P | 01:42 |
| CaptainTrek | ikonia: ah okay, so assuming that the drive mounts in /media/<mount dir>, that would be the source, and /media/<mount point of second drive> for the second argument? | 01:42 |
| mememe | mdg: i'm on the ubuntu machine right now. able to use it for somewhat limnited functionality, just not seeminglyu able to access network resources, the old xp installation, or certain install/upgrade elements. | 01:42 |
| mdg | mememe: is this an imac? | 01:42 |
| ikonia | CaptainTrek: correct | 01:42 |
| mememe | typos_king, that was my point.w ithout the keyboard, i couldn't. | 01:43 |
| mememe | mdg no this ubuntu machine is an old dell optiplex tower. maybe 4 years old? | 01:44 |
| CaptainTrek | ikonia: so assuming its an ext3 partition i'm starting with, i need to format the second drive's partition as either ext3 or ext4? | 01:44 |
| mdg | mememe: if you can download 10.04 and unetbootin you should be in business. | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | mememe: sooooooo, what do you want? boot to a live-usb ubuntu and stare at the screen? | 01:44 |
| === Cain` is now known as Cain | ||
| Swian | hi, I installed KDE System Settings under Ubuntu 10.04 and can't locate them in any menus | 01:44 |
| mdg | mememe: I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 | 01:44 |
| Swian | where would I find them | 01:44 |
| mememe | typos_king - think you missed that i have multiple computers? | 01:44 |
| Typos_King | mememe: read that | 01:44 |
| thebruce | could anyone assist in setting up an audio stream from ubuntu to the web | 01:44 |
| mdg | mememe: what flavor is the imac? | 01:45 |
| Typos_King | SWian: dunno where kde4.4 puts it, but you can always call them with -> systemsettings; | 01:45 |
| onetinsoldier | Typos_King: you didn't know? you put on a tin foil hat, and use mind control :D | 01:45 |
| lfaraone | When I do a "mount /dev/sr0", the disk contents show up briefly in Nautilus but disappear a second later. How can I figur eout what's wrong? | 01:45 |
| mememe | mdg ok so what does "unetbootin" mean/entail. and, wow, we have the same pc. that means, this installation thing must ultimately work, even with older components which was what had me concerned. | 01:45 |
| undecim | lfaraone: dmesg | 01:45 |
| mdg | mememe: works great! | 01:45 |
| Typos_King | onetinsoldier: you must be experienced, being a tin soldier and all :P | 01:46 |
| mdg | mememe: unetbooting is a tool to create bootable USB drives | 01:46 |
| Swian | Typos_King thanks | 01:46 |
| danny7210 | Hey when someone has a chance I need help, my laptop wont shutdown on Ubuntu 10.04 | 01:46 |
| undecim | lfaraone: look at the last few lines | 01:46 |
| mememe | mdg: the mac is a macmini late 2009 edition, running entirely as a media machine, with my hdtv as the "monitor". not really set up as a "computer" setup. but it's awesome. | 01:46 |
| onetinsoldier | Typos_King: rofl :-) | 01:46 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: what steps have you taken? | 01:46 |
| lfaraone | undecim: 'May 26 20:46:16 Opus kernel: [ 1697.179105] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 \n May 26 20:46:16 Opus kernel: [ 1697.179752] ISOFS: changing to secondary root' | 01:46 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: I set acpi = force and etc, I have an ati card if it matters | 01:46 |
| mdg | mememe: sounds really cool! I have an old G4 iMac (the one that looks like a lamp) | 01:47 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: I also edited grub in gpedit | 01:47 |
| undecim | lfaraone: I don't see anything interesting there. | 01:47 |
| undecim | lfaraone: why are you mounting CDs manually anyways? | 01:47 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: open a terminal and type: sudo shutdown now | 01:47 |
| mdg | mememe: download this to your desktop and change permissions (right click > permissions) | 01:47 |
| Tricia | I don't have a Touchpad tab in my Mouse configuration | 01:48 |
| mdg | mememe: this is a dependnecy on p7zip, so make sure you have that too | 01:48 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: entering it now | 01:48 |
| mememe | mdg: you are cracking me up. the good news here is, i just plugged in my usb drive, and ubuntu is indeed recognizing it. so, where/how do i get unetbooting? | 01:48 |
| _Anthony | so importing 3100 songs into rhythmbox is quite slow | 01:48 |
| lfaraone | undecim: because the same behavior occurs when it's autodetected. | 01:48 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: that should shut the computer down immediately | 01:48 |
| Typos_King | mememe: 9.1, not sure on 10.04, live-cd has a tool for making a 'startup usb', which is just a usb live version of it | 01:49 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: it is stuck ..... | 01:49 |
| undecim | lfaraone: Is it just for this cd or all cds? | 01:49 |
| th0r | cjdevlin: I am not sure....but I think you need 'sudo shutdown -h now' | 01:49 |
| mdg | mememe: you may want to partition your 8 gig drive - you really only need 2 gig for a live CD install | 01:49 |
| cjdevlin | th0r: sudo shutdown now should leave him in the terminal | 01:49 |
| mememe | mdg awesome. i will do that. and, what is the file i was to download? | 01:50 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: it shutdown but my screen is still on and bluetooth is still enabled | 01:50 |
| cjdevlin | th0r: i want to see if shutdown throws any errors or if it is a 'higher up problem' | 01:50 |
| lfaraone | undecim: let me see, I'm not sure. This is a pre-pressed CD that came with one of my devices. | 01:50 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: that means the acpi/apm module/drivers have some issues or incompatibility with your motherboard power management feature | 01:50 |
| lfaraone | undecim: (it's frustrating because if I ls /media/cdrom0 the content on the CD shows up, but only for half a second or so. | 01:50 |
| mdg | mememe: the last thing I mentioned was a dependency on p7zip - am searching for what else | 01:51 |
| lfaraone | undecim: yep, same problem with other CDs... | 01:51 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: would dell really do that to me? | 01:51 |
| undecim | lfaraone: Was that dmesg output from after the contents disappeared? | 01:51 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: sudo reboot now | 01:51 |
| Typos_King | Tricia: and what do you need one? | 01:51 |
| mememe | mdg: getting p7zip from sourceforge as we speak. | 01:51 |
| === blenderhead001 is now known as blenderhead | ||
| cjdevlin | danny7210: will bring the system back up | 01:51 |
| === blenderhead is now known as blenderhead001 | ||
| lfaraone | undecim: yes. those are the only two messages that appear after inserting a CD/ | 01:51 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: already typed that in, was starting to shutdown and now my monitor has weird white and black dots everywhere | 01:51 |
| Tricia | Typos_King: cause I have a touchpad? Scrolling stopped working so I went searching for the config | 01:51 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: no dell per se, I mean, the acpi module in 7.1 worked flawlessly on my dell, the 9.1 module did not, sooooo | 01:52 |
| Typos_King | same dell, I may add | 01:52 |
| lfaraone | undecim: otoh, I did start up in single user mode and then resume my normal session, so that may be part of it... | 01:52 |
| Adola | What program will allow me to burn a .avi to DVD? | 01:52 |
| Typos_King | Tricia: I think you have install some app for synaptics devices stuff | 01:52 |
| undecim | lfaraone: Try rebooting then. | 01:52 |
| Typos_King | !synaptics | Tricia | 01:53 |
| ubottu | Tricia: For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Adola: try gnomebaker or brasero | 01:53 |
| mdg | mememe: seems to me there was one other dependency I needed when I installed it - it should pop up a box telling you that something is missing | 01:53 |
| danny7210 | Tyos_King: So this is an issue with the drivers on ubuntu 10.04, because I would like the shutdown haha. | 01:53 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: hard reboot and if you are not using any bluetooth stuff, try disabling it and see what happens | 01:53 |
| Adola | onetinsoldier: thanks. | 01:53 |
| onetinsoldier | Adola: sure, you're welcome | 01:53 |
| MrWise | I'm booting an ubuntu server install off a USB key, when I hit [Enter] with "Install Ubuntu Server" selected, I see some scattered lines of randomly colored dots at the very top 3-4 rows of my screen, and an undscore at the far left of the "Press ENTER to boot o.."- and nothing else happens. | 01:53 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: doing it from the cl looks infinitely cooler | 01:53 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: Will do | 01:53 |
| MrWise | Anyone know what's up with this? | 01:53 |
| mememe | mdg ok idiot questiosn come now. when i download and extract p7zip, what file is the "executable" in an ubuntu world? | 01:53 |
| mdg | mememe: were you going for 10.04? | 01:53 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: yes, a hardware compatibility issue with your hardware for that power management module/driver | 01:53 |
| neezer | I am trying to add a folder to my webserver. I want to put a bunch of files in /var/www/html. They are also in /home/neezer.....I don't want them to be in two places at once, but I'd like to keep them in /home/nathan....is there a way I can keep the files in /home/nathan and still have them browseable from the internet? | 01:53 |
| mdg | mememe: its not .exe in linux its .bin | 01:54 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: Damn that sucks, I loved ubuntu, now ill have to go to fedora or something | 01:54 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: or 9.1 :P | 01:54 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: so you want me to disable bluetooth and sudo shutdown now? | 01:54 |
| Typos_King | hehe | 01:54 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: google symbolic link | 01:54 |
| undecim | mememe: It's not necessarily any file extension, though common extensions are .bin and .elf. Some executables won't have an extension at all. | 01:54 |
| Tricia | Typos_King: thanks, I'll look at that | 01:54 |
| mdg | mememe: did you download your .iso? | 01:54 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: they may issue a fix soon, check for any updates on their modules, ... try maybe installing the linux-backport-modules | 01:55 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King; Yea, 9.1 sounds good | 01:55 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: after you disable it try and shut down how you 'normally' would | 01:55 |
| mememe | mdg: i would like to do the live usb installer for the lasted version, 10.x. The p7zip file that downloaded defaulted to a 9.04 ubuntu version. is that ok? | 01:55 |
| mememe | mdg going for the .iso now | 01:55 |
| mdg | mememe: I believe that's what mine did to | 01:55 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: I did and tried ln -s /home/neezer from my var/www/html/folder, but it didn't work....I don't think anyways... | 01:55 |
| Gerwin | neezer: Are you using Apache as your webserver? | 01:56 |
| mdg | mememe: I don't remember exactly the steps for 7pzip | 01:56 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: did you use sudo? | 01:56 |
| Tricia | Typos_King: xinput list doesn't have my trackpad on it | 01:56 |
| Gerwin | If so, Google 'Apache virtual hosts' | 01:56 |
| mememe | mdg: if i want to install p7zip, do i run "install.sh" or is that something else? | 01:56 |
| mdg | mememe: actually, I think its in the repos, but you can do it this way too | 01:56 |
| Daekdroom | !p7zip | 01:56 |
| onetinsoldier | try this | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | !info p7zip | 01:57 |

| mememe | mdg "in the repos"? | 01:57 |
| Daekdroom | Ah | 01:57 |
| Typos_King | Tricia: what's wrong anyway with your ... touchpad? trackpad? | 01:57 |
| Daekdroom | I knew I missed something :P | 01:57 |
| neezer | Gerwin, yes.... | 01:57 |
| MrWise | Anyone have any idea as to my problem? Google is being reluctant at the moment... | 01:57 |
| onetinsoldier | :-) | 01:57 |
| neezer | cjdevlin, I am doing this as root, yes. | 01:57 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: Should I install all linux-backport-modules? | 01:57 |
| Tricia | Typos_King: nothing. I'm usng it *moves cursor with it* it just stopped scrolling | 01:58 |
| Tricia | Typos_King: I think after an update or something. | 01:58 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: there are several, but there's only 1 named 'linux-backport-modules' only | 01:58 |
| Gerwin | neezer: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ | 01:58 |
| mdg | mememe: oh... in linux, the version of linux you install has respositories for almost all the apps you would want to add - you go there to get them -- you have an application called Synaptic that gives you a nice GUI to do it or if you are in a hurry you can apt-get install it | 01:58 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: I dont see that file just named linux-backport-modules | 01:59 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: you also have to create and .htaccess file, one moment and i will post | 01:59 |
| mememe | mdg i am just confused on how to access the applications in ubuntu. some of them are in the "applications" drop down at the top left, but many more are listed as installed and i couldnt find how to find/launch them, today, for looking. | 01:59 |
| cjdevlin | a* | 01:59 |
| mememe | mdg for example "synaptic" is not in the drop down "applications" list. nor is xchat, which is listed as installed in the software center. | 02:00 |
| Santisnight | ikonia, yeeeah that wiki page is confusing, and it didn't work. my current situation is i cannot get to MY installation (other than to the files themselves) of Ubuntu 10.04, because GRUB is not working correctly. | 02:00 |
| onetinsoldier | mememe: that's in System --> Administration | 02:00 |
| mdg | mememe: Synaptic is under "Administration" | 02:01 |
| Typos_King | Santisnight: did you ever check my paste? from a live-cd to http://paste2.org/p/852899 | 02:01 |
| mdg | mememe: Xchat is under "Internet" | 02:01 |
| mememe | onetinsoldier, mdg: thank you | 02:01 |
| onetinsoldier | mememe: sure, youre welcome | 02:01 |
| mdg | mememe: you are very welcome! | 02:01 |
| mememe | mdg: not on my computer its not. | 02:02 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: linux-backport-modules-`uname -r` | 02:02 |
| Santisnight | Typos_King, no because i never saw it. but GREAT! this is a helluva lot more clear, thanks. | 02:02 |
| _Anthony | i personally like irsii+screen over xchat | 02:02 |
| mdg | mememe: do you know if you have gnome desktop or KDE or something else? | 02:02 |
| mememe | mdg: i spent like 2 hours trying to find an irc client that would work, access freenode, and actually provide legible text in the window before i ended up with chatzilla. | 02:02 |
| mememe | mdg no idea | 02:02 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: Still dont see it, This is under synaptic package manager correct | 02:03 |
| mememe | ok. new question. how do i create a partition on my usb? | 02:03 |
| almoxarife | pidgin works for me | 02:03 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: sudo apt-get install linux-backport-modules-`uname -r`; hehe :) | 02:03 |
| mdg | mememe: you will need to look for a program called "Gparted" | 02:03 |
| mememe | almo, i liked the idea of pidgin, but i couldnt get text to show up as anything other than white in the window when i logged into freenode irc | 02:03 |
| _Anthony | mememe you can use different fonts... | 02:03 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: the 'uname -r' gets the proper name for your kernel version :) | 02:03 |
| mdg | mememe: I hesitate greatly how to instruct you from command line | 02:03 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/z9Y7J0ug | 02:03 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: sorry for the time delay, but yes that will determine if that is causing the issue | 02:04 |
| Typos_King | Tricia: check in your package manager for any 'synaptics' tools? or utilities | 02:04 |
| mememe | anthony i think something in my ubuntu install is corrupted (why i'm here) that for some reason kept font color choices from being configurable in pidgin | 02:04 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: Disabling bluetooth didnt work | 02:04 |
| mdg | mememe: when you click on the menu icon in the panel bar (left side of panel) do you get a menu? | 02:05 |
| mememe | mdg: having a program name to aim for helps me greatly. Thanks! | 02:05 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: that was the only thing still listed as being running when you shut down, correct? | 02:05 |
| mdg | mememe: actually, here is a little trick to run any program that is already installed: press Ctrl + F2 key and it pops up a dialog box and then you type the name of the program you are wanting to run | 02:05 |
| mememe | mdg what's a panel? do you mean in chatzilla? | 02:06 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: it wasnt listed, I saw no text what so ever during shutdown | 02:06 |
| mememe | gparted | 02:06 |
| mememe | heh. hang on i'll try that again. | 02:06 |
| mdg | mememe: its like the menu bar in windows | 02:06 |
| mdg | mememe: where your start button ,etc is | 02:06 |
| Tricia | ahah.. it's aparently an ALPS touchpad.. | 02:07 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: I got error E: Couldn't Find package linux-backport-modules-2.5.32-22-generic | 02:07 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: sudo shutdown -k now | 02:07 |
| mememe | mdg ok another n00b question. how do you look at a drive (eg usb) and see how much space is avaiable on it? | 02:07 |
| Tricia | ...mapbe | 02:08 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: scratch that | 02:08 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: The system is going down for maintenance Now! And it just sticks | 02:08 |
| mdg | mememe: you can find that in the file browser | 02:08 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: 2.5.32? are you using .... ubuntu 5.1? even 7.1 has kernel 2.6.x | 02:08 |
| danny7210 | Im using ubuntu 10.04 | 02:08 |
| danny7210 | Typos | 02:08 |
| Gerwin | wtf | 02:09 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: Im using ubuntu 10.04 | 02:09 |
| mdg | USB drives usually show up as /sda1 or sda2, etc., where harddrives are usually /hda1 or hda2, etc. | 02:09 |
| Typos_King | 10.04... wonder why the uname -r; gave 2.5.32 kernel though, I'm on 9.1 and have 2.6.31 | 02:09 |
| Typos_King | maybe he meant ... 2.6.32 | 02:09 |
| danny7210 | 2.6.32-22-generic | 02:09 |
| chilipep4 | say, in gnome, how do you control what kind of menu pops up when you right click on something? | 02:10 |
| mdg | mememe: I'm actually using a variant of Ubuntu (based on Ubuntu), so I'm not sure of exactly what you are seeing | 02:10 |
| danny7210 | Typos_King: Woops typo, I ment 2.6.32-22-generic | 02:10 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: thanks for the link....do I need to put that in /var/www/html/folder? or in /home/nathan/folder? | 02:11 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: can't say, you can always wait for an update on their acpi module or .... what else..... well. use 9.1 hehe | 02:11 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: when you did the first shutdown did it go all the way down? | 02:11 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: /var/www/html/ | 02:11 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: No my screen was still on | 02:11 |
| _Anthony | Core0 Temp: +31.0°C | 02:11 |
| _Anthony | Core1 Temp: +24.0°C | 02:11 |
| _Anthony | kinda temps me to OC it even more | 02:11 |
| mememe | mdg was just in it and couldn't find it. will look again. | 02:11 |
| neezer | cool. thanks cjdevlin | 02:11 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: I have to force shutdown every time | 02:11 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: It just stayed at a black screen | 02:11 |
| mememe | mdg: working on gparted. it's not installed at the moment, and i'm getting a broken package error from the software center.... | 02:12 |
| Typos_King | dannhy7210: meaning the module has had that incompatibility with your hardware all along, as I said, on also my dell, 7.1 shutdown flawlessly, 9.1 did not | 02:12 |
| cjdevlin | danny7210: it didn't dump you to a terminal? | 02:12 |
| mdg | mememe: on your panel bar do you see three entries - one says "Places" one says "Administration" and I forget what the first one says | 02:12 |
| Pici | mdg: applications | 02:12 |

| mdg | mememe: it may be called partition editor in the menu entry | 02:13 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: uploading a video for you | 02:13 |
| mdg | mememe: okay, under the "system" menu you should find synaptic | 02:13 |
| Sereph | how do I install just grub? | 02:13 |
| mememe | i was in the software center, where i searched for gparted, and it and a kde version are available, but neither are installed according to the software center. | 02:13 |
| mememe | mdg closest thing in "system" menu is "disk utility" which, if it's like the mac one, might have a lesser partition creation option. | 02:14 |
| mdg | mememe: we need to get you to synaptic | 02:14 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: and no, it didnt dump me to a terminal | 02:14 |
| tefx | hey guys curios is there a way to isntall in the sytle of wubi from inside a livecd boot?? | 02:14 |
| mdg | mememe: are you running Mint? | 02:14 |
| mdg | mememe: Linux Mint? | 02:15 |
| IdleOne | !linuxmint | 02:15 |
| IdleOne | !mint | 02:15 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 02:15 |
| mememe | i get this error when i try to run synaptic: failed to run /usr/sbin/synaptic as user root. unable to copy the user's xauthorization file. | 02:15 |
| mdg | mememe: yes, you have to run synaptic with root privileges | 02:15 |
| mdg | type "sudo synaptic" and you will be asked for your password | 02:15 |
| tefx | mememe: are u putting sudo before the comment | 02:16 |

| tefx | hey guys curios you no how with wubi it install intot he windows boot loader | 02:16 |
| mdg | IdleOne: thanks for the reminder :) | 02:16 |
| tefx | is there a way to do thsi with lubi | 02:17 |
| tefx | as wubi dosent liek usign my live usb as a coopy of the disk | 02:17 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: I cant upload | 02:17 |
| danny7210 | cjdevlin: Its fine Ill try 9.1 | 02:17 |
| tefx | sebsebseb: haha look who it is | 02:18 |
| mememe | ok, there's only me as a user, and many many many gui driven items ask for and accept my password. synaptic did finally run when launched from terminal with the sudo command. will i have to do that everytime? if so, why is there a system-synaptic package manager gui option? | 02:18 |
| mdg | mememe: actually you can use the disk utility you found before | 02:18 |
| isidore_ | how do I find out what partition my filesystem is on? (I.e. what # in sda# ) | 02:19 |
| onetinsoldier | TerrysComputerWo: try here... System --> Administration --> Software Sources -> Other software ..then enable the 'Partner Repo' for sun-java6 | 02:19 |
| jrib | isidore_: use « mount » ? but why? | 02:19 |
| tefx | dudeo the windows file system | 02:19 |
| chilipep4 | say, i'm having a rather peculiar problem with ubuntu. whenever i try to use the "safely remove" option for a usb drive, i get an "unable to stop drive" error message. since the drive appears to unmount, why is this message appearing? | 02:19 |
| tefx | did you use wubi | 02:19 |
| mdg | mememe: just plug in your USB and you can see in the Palimpsest Disk Utility window the size and type of partitions | 02:19 |
| isidore_ | updating to 10.04, and grub needs it | 02:20 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: status? | 02:20 |
| tefx | sorry synaptics took a bitch fit | 02:20 |
| mememe | mdg. ok. installing gparted but in the meanwhile will use that disk utility. great. | 02:20 |
| jrib | isidore_: erm, how are you upgrading? | 02:20 |
| IdleOne | !ohmy | tefx | 02:20 |

| ubottu | isidore_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:20 |
| roved2101 | hello friendly neighbours | 02:21 |
| isidore_ | jrib: just regular software update | 02:21 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: for some reason it isn't working.... | 02:21 |
| neezer | not quite sure why. | 02:22 |
| jrib | isidore_: I don't think you should need to enter that information | 02:22 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: did you restart apache? | 02:22 |
| exarkun | virt-manager won't start my vm on Karmic, it says "libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/windowsxp-1.qcow2 | 02:22 |
| isidore_ | jrib: it popped up with a window that is asking... | 02:22 |
| cjdevlin | and when you do an ls -al in the directory does the symbolic link come up | 02:22 |
| cjdevlin | ?? | 02:22 |
| TerrysComputerWo | onetinsoldier that worked thank you | 02:22 |
| exarkun | There's no good reason for it not to be able to open that disk image, though. Anyone have any clues? | 02:22 |
| onetinsoldier | TerrysComputerWo: you're welcome | 02:22 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: hmmm....nope....I can create the folder and then just browse to it. with firefox. but I can't see the link to the other folder in there it is empty. | 02:23 |
| jrib | isidore_: if you are comfortable with it, that is fine. But if you want more input, feel free to pastebin a screenshot | 02:23 |
| tefx | Can someone pelase tell me is ther a way to install intto the windows files ystem from inside the lvie cd enviroment | 02:23 |
| jrib | tefx: use wubi | 02:23 |
| tefx | cant dont have an iso | 02:23 |
| tefx | handy | 02:23 |
| mememe | mdg ok in disk utility i can see the drive, and the total capacity, but nothing to indicate how much is already on it (there is plenty) or a great indication of how to create a partition eg not format the entire drive | 02:23 |
| mdg | mememe: when you get back to the disk utility, you can also check out your harddrive - what kind of partitions, etc. | 02:23 |
| tefx | and no wer near enoguh bandwidht to download one | 02:23 |
| jrib | tefx: how are you in the live cd environment? | 02:23 |
| tefx | jrib: | 02:23 |
| tefx | a usb | 02:23 |
| tefx | well live usb | 02:24 |
| jrib | tefx: so isn't there an iso file on there you can mount on windows? | 02:24 |
| tefx | but still | 02:24 |
| mememe | mdg oh duh forget that.i see the capacity now. | 02:24 |
| mdg | mememe: under the name of he drive to the top right of the Palimpsest Disk Utility dialog box you will see some information | 02:24 |
| tefx | nope | 02:24 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: are you web browsing w/ firefox? (127.0.0.1) or file browsing? | 02:24 |
| mememe | mdg just going to format the entire thing, erase everything on it, and create a 2gb partition | 02:24 |
| tefx | jrib: no i dotn have na iso on ther unfortunatly | 02:25 |
| mdg | mememe: before you do that, just make note of how USB drives are seen by the system: /dev/sda /dev/sdb etc | 02:25 |
| mdg | mememe: format it as fat32 | 02:25 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: i'm web browsing with firefox and I'm not even in the same state as my server...I have sftp and ssh connections to work. | 02:25 |
| mdg | mememe: unetbooting needs fat32 | 02:25 |
| tefx | i just have a lvie usb created with unetbootin jrib | 02:26 |
| mdg | unetbooting/unetbootin | 02:26 |
| mdg | mememe: you do not need to make it bootable | 02:27 |
| isidore_ | jrib: would you say sda6 is the right drive: www.pasteall.org/pic/3583 ? | 02:27 |
| mdg | mememe: getting the .iso downloaded? | 02:28 |
| daedaluz | how large partition for root? 20GB? | 02:28 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: i just restarted apache, but still no go.... | 02:28 |
| jrib | isidore_: is this a wubi install or something? | 02:28 |
| tdhz77 | Can Snow Leapard read and write from a ubuntu ext4 partition? | 02:28 |
| isidore_ | jrib: I don't believe so, It's really my friends computer, I told him I would update linux for him, I dont know how he installed it to start with. | 02:29 |
| mdg | mememe: while you were in the disk utility, did you check your harddrive? what partitions it shows? | 02:29 |
| jrib | isidore_: that's pretty strange mount output, my guess is it's a wubi install. I don't know if you have to do something special in that case | 02:30 |
| mdg | mememe: does it still show a windows partition or just ext 3 | 02:30 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: when you do the ls where does your symlink point to? | 02:30 |
| Sereph | i have ubuntu 10.04 on my computer and i had to back up all the files by copying them to a hard disk and then moving them back to the new disk, the only problem seems that i need to reinstall grub... how might i go about doing this? | 02:31 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: they are hilighted red, and it says: music -> /home/nathan/music | 02:31 |
| jinzougen | Anyone around? Kubuntu isn't recognizing my Canon printer, which is a new development... | 02:31 |
| isidore_ | jrib: what exactly is a wubi install, i'm almost positive my friend wouldn't have chosen any weird settings (he's a linux n00b) | 02:31 |
| jinzougen | but it shows up on lsusb | 02:31 |
| Sereph | !kubuntu | 02:31 |
| ubottu | kubuntu is Ubuntu with the KDE Software Compilation instead of !Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 02:31 |
| jrib | isidore_: it installs ubuntu to a file on the windows partition (from inside windows) | 02:32 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 26 21:23 music -> /home/nathan/music" | 02:32 |
| santisnight | So I'm back in Ubuntu, the install i did. but i can no longer access my windows XP.... | 02:32 |
| cjdevlin | neezer: you want to browse all your music? | 02:32 |
| SovereignEntity | Can someone take a look http://pastebin.com/m2gX8SZw maybe you can find why i get the error | 02:32 |
| isidore_ | jrib: can I just leave all the boxes unchecked? i don't really want to mess up his windows | 02:32 |
| SovereignEntity | I really dont want to have to reinstall | 02:33 |
| mdg | santisnight: you can choose it from the grub menu when you boot your machine -- unless you installed over it | 02:33 |
| santisnight | mdg, Im trying to dual boot it, and i don't even see it in the grub menu anymore, but i was before but i couldn't load it up. | 02:34 |
| jrib | isidore_: my guess is you want to install grub to the mbr, but then again maybe wubi does something special. You can leave nothing checked and if something doesn't work later, you can install grub with a live cd (/msg ubottu grub2). Maybe wait for someone familiar with wubi | 02:34 |
| santisnight | mdg, they're on two different hard drives | 02:34 |
| neezer | cjdevlin: I want to just try it....I know it is a bit strange but I'm just trying some things out. | 02:34 |
| Sereph | can someone tell me how to install grub to the mbr of a specific hard disk? | 02:35 |
| Brack10 | Why is 64 bit desktop not recommended for "daily use"? | 02:35 |
| mdg | santisnight: you need to make sure which drive windows is on - you can put that in grub - i.e. tell it where to boot from | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: who said that?> | 02:35 |
| Brack10 | IdleOne: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 02:35 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: I have been running 64bit for some time now without issue | 02:35 |
| acerimmer_ | Sereph: during installation, just before HDD writing starts there's a screen with "advanced options". Grub install is there | 02:36 |
| mdg | mememe | 02:36 |
| tdhz77 | can osx read/write ext4 partitions yet? | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: hmm good question. I don't know why | 02:36 |
| brokentu | is there a text based installer i can start from the CLI on the live CD that will put ubuntu on it and no i dont mean dd | 02:36 |
| mdg | uh oh lost mememe | 02:36 |
| DeoFavente | iknoia: wait i must be a noob. where is there information location on gnome-look about theming nautilus? i dont think theres anything on nautilus in their kb. | 02:36 |
| Brack10 | IdleOne: maybe because of Flash? | 02:36 |
| mdg | brokentu: when you get the boot prompt type "install" | 02:36 |
| santisnight | mdg, sda (sda1, specifically.. i somehow have a partition on it as sda2 which i eventually want to eliminate as i can't seem to get into it.) but my ubuntu installation is on sdb[5] which is an external hard drive. | 02:36 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: no flash issues here | 02:37 |
| Brack10 | I thought there was no 64 bit flash binary | 02:37 |
| santisnight | mdg, sda is the only internal drive. | 02:37 |
| brokentu | mdg: no | 02:37 |
| acerimmer_ | Sereph: of course, if you've ALREADY installed...? | 02:37 |
| brokentu | no way | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: I have flash, java umm html5 working with chromium-browser uhh what else.. basically everything runs great | 02:37 |
| mdg | santisnight: so you have a partion 1, partition 2 and partition 5, as well as an external harddrive... | 02:37 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: it uses ia32-libs but works for me | 02:38 |
| mdg | santisnight: I'm guessing the external is a USB drive? | 02:38 |
| SovereignEntity | I cant believe smething as simple as wanting to mount a HD can cause this much trouble | 02:38 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: you mean clicking on an icon? :P | 02:38 |
| acerimmer_ | mdg: don't forget, MBR will only manage 4 primary partitions, INCLUDING any "hidden" parts. | 02:38 |
| Brack10 | IdleOne: Yeah. I thought Linux's 64 bit support was way ahead of MS because everything's open source | 02:38 |
| Gerwin | So errrm, I decided to revive my old laptop by installing 10.04, everything is running smooth, got my wireless card recognized and running as well, but now I get random disconnects and loads of timeouts... | 02:38 |
| SovereignEntity | thats how it's done in windows | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | Brack10: that is debatable but out of scope for this channe; | 02:39 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: well ubuntu too. Do you have a question? | 02:39 |
| IdleOne | channel* | 02:39 |
| Brack10 | Yeah | 02:39 |
| mdg | Gerwin: what kind of wifi card do you have? I have the same problem with a Belkin F5D7010 using rtl8180 | 02:39 |
| santisnight | mdg, no... there is only one partition on the internal drive, but it is unimportant. this internal drive is sda. the external drive is a 500GB hard drive, which is sdb which is what this ubuntu i am using to chat on here is installed on. | 02:39 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Linksys WPC54G... | 02:39 |
| DeoFavente | could somebody point me to a reference on how to theme nautilus. I intend on fixing an old gtk theme. | 02:40 |
| jrib | DeoFavente: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on theming | 02:41 |
| SovereignEntity | jrib: I have a minimal install and installed pysdm to mount my drives. Now I get this error An error occurred while mounting /media/sdc1 | 02:41 |
| mdg | Gerwin: not sure what driver that uses.... | 02:41 |
| jinzougen | Anyone have any ideas how I can get my printer to work? It has worked in the past, I don't know why it's not being recognized anymore. | 02:41 |
| santisnight | mdg, get it? | 02:41 |
| jinzougen | Canon i560 on Kubuntu lucid | 02:41 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: what do you want to accomplish? Add sdc1 to your fstab? | 02:42 |
| SovereignEntity | jrib: I still get the error after uninstalling pysdm | 02:42 |
| acerimmer_ | jinzougen: can you get teh drivers from the manufacturer? | 02:42 |
| mdg | jinzougen: have you unplugged it and plugged it back in? | 02:42 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: get the error *where*? *how*? | 02:42 |
| jinzougen | I have done the unplugging and such | 02:42 |
| jinzougen | Don't know about the drivers... | 02:42 |
| DeoFavente | jrib: thank you | 02:42 |

| santisnight | Can anyone help me? I'm missing windows XP from the GRUB loader. xp and Ubuntu are installed on 2 different hard drives, one internal one external, Ubuntu being on the external. I've already tried loading up an XP disk to use the recovery console to then reinstall grub, but had no success. | 02:45 |
| Tricia | crap. sorry | 02:45 |
| mhall119 | whoops, thought this was #ubuntu-locoteams | 02:46 |
| Gerwin | mdg: I know, I was glad I got the card working in the first place, but now it just keeps timing out and asking for the network key. | 02:46 |
| mdg | santisnight: even if you don't see the entry you want to boot in grub, you can edit the boot command (I believe it is by pressing the "e" key) | 02:46 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: http://pastebin.com/DjQNqHff is not an fstab | 02:46 |
| mdg | santisnight: installing grub from windows? | 02:46 |
| santisnight | mdg, no, from the ubuntu liveCD | 02:47 |
| mdg | santisnight: oh - I misinterpreted it | 02:47 |
| SovereignEntity | jrib: sorry http://pastebin.com/m2gX8SZw | 02:47 |
| mdg | santisnight: you are wanting to boot windows xp now? | 02:48 |
| santisnight | mdg, and what would i do to the command? or would there say something about "Windows XP home" where i just hit enter and go? | 02:48 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: pastebin: sudo blkid | 02:48 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Also, it's somehow not able to find my network, but does find some others | 02:48 |
| SovereignEntity | jrib: i just want to get rid of the error before i backup | 02:48 |
| santisnight | mdg, yes, i want to be able to choose upon start-up which OS i want to use. | 02:48 |
| mdg | Gerwin: what kind of security are you using? Perhaps your card does not support the security you have | 02:48 |
| SovereignEntity | what does that mean | 02:49 |
| Gerwin | mdg: WPA-PSK, which is supported | 02:49 |
| Gerwin | mdg: I was connected for half an hour or so, until I had to reboot due to some updates | 02:49 |
| mdg | santisnight: since I don't dual boot I'm not sure of what the grub command would exactly be, but it would include /dev/sda or b | 02:49 |
| mdg | Gerwin: what kind of signal strength? | 02:50 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: it's information I need to help you figure out what is going on | 02:50 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Excellent, I'm like 10 ft away from the router | 02:50 |
| santisnight | mdg, well thanks anyhow... | 02:50 |
| mdg | anybody here dual booting - could you help santisnight ? | 02:50 |

| hayden | Greetings. If I'm running a software RAID1 array, am I required to purchase WD's "RE" line of drives for it to work properly? Apparently this is the only line of drives that they enable TLER on. | 02:51 |

| lockstar | anyone use backtrack 4? | 02:51 |
| santisnight | CaptainTrek, i can't seem to keep acess to windows XP | 02:51 |

| cordialement | Hi everybody | 02:51 |
| jrib | lockstar: this channel is for *ubuntu* support :) | 02:51 |
| mdg | CaptainTrek: he lost ability to boot to windows and I told him he can edit the grub command on boot, but am unsure of what that would look like | 02:51 |
| cordialement | Does anyone know an ubuntu repository in which I could find the last version of php compiled with mysqlnd ? | 02:51 |
| cordialement | I have a server under 10.04, I need mysqlnd but I have any time to compile php | 02:51 |
| mdg | Gerwin: wonder if you have interference from a phone or microwave or something? | 02:52 |
| cordialement | I don't have * | 02:52 |
| CaptainTrek | mdg / santisnight: you tried asking in #grub? | 02:52 |
| mdg | CaptainTrek: actually, had not thought of going to the grub forum | 02:52 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Could be, but this computer is connected to the same router, and doesn't ping out at all. | 02:52 |
| tdhz77 | As much as we would have liked to see Ubuntu's Lucid Lynx handily beat Windows 7, this was not the case, but to some extent the opposite. Windows 7 in some of the tests possessed definitive leads over Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with the OpenGL performance when using the proprietary ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics drivers, which have largely shared code-bases between Windows and Linux. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS also had its leads in some areas while in many of the | 02:52 |
| tdhz77 | tests the differences between the two operating systems | 02:52 |
| CaptainTrek | mdg: the people in #grub would most likely be most useful | 02:52 |
| mdg | Gerwin: using same wifi adapter? | 02:52 |
| santisnight | CaptainTrek, no | 02:52 |
| CaptainTrek | mdg: he COULD just try reinstalling grub | 02:52 |
| Gerwin | mdg: No | 02:53 |
| santisnight | CaptainTrek, i tried that :T | 02:53 |
| santisnight | CaptainTrek, it was a long ordeal that lead nowhere. | 02:53 |
| CaptainTrek | santisnight: might be that the WinXP partition is borked, you checked the partition tables? | 02:53 |
| santisnight | CaptainTrek, two completly different drives. | 02:54 |
| mr_fribble | In this guide http://forums.ayksolutions.com/showthread.php?p=724 , it says to recompile php so how do I recompile php? | 02:54 |
| jrib | mr_fribble: what do you actually want to accomplish? | 02:55 |
| mdg | Gerwin: I've heard that other people using the same channel as your wifi/router can affect it | 02:55 |
| mr_fribble | jrib: i would like to install pdo | 02:55 |
| mdg | Gerwin: and that microwaves and telephones can as well | 02:55 |
| SovereignEntity | jrib: I was confused here is the info http://pastebin.com/73vw9UDX | 02:55 |

| jrib | mr_fribble: php-mysql includes that file apparently... | 02:55 |
| jrib | mr_fribble: php5-mysql includes that file apparently... | 02:55 |
| mdg | Gerwin: why it does not see your network - not sure. Have you triend the command: sudo iwlist scan in a terminal? | 02:56 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Yes, doesn't show up | 02:56 |
| jrib | SovereignEntity: update your swap's uuid | 02:56 |

| Pedro_Maia | hi, the boot time at lucid are very slow, can someone help me? | 02:58 |
| Pedro_Maia | http://paste.ubuntu.com/440151/ | 02:58 |
| Gerwin | mdg: No, it's next to me, but I didn't have an etherner cable plugged in | 02:58 |
| Gerwin | *ethernet | 02:58 |
| mdg | Gerwin: the other one see the network you are using now? | 02:59 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Yes | 02:59 |
| acerimmer_ | s3a: check on the UE site. | 02:59 |
| s3a | acerimmer_, i did, it seems to say that they have a theme pack but i can't find it | 03:00 |
| mdg | Gerwin: I don't know if you can specify a network to scan (maybe your network is hidden?) | 03:00 |
| mdg | Gerwin: wait, yes you can connect to hidden network | 03:00 |
| Gerwin | mdg: No, it's not hidden, since all my other machines do find it. | 03:00 |
| Gerwin | mdg: I tried that, didn't work either | 03:00 |
| acerimmer_ | s3a: not too many UE users here and much more info/support is available directly from UE sources. | 03:00 |
| mdg | Gerwin: how about "setup new network" option | 03:01 |
| mdg | haven't seen mememe in a while - he went nonono | 03:01 |

| Pedro_Maia | can anyone help me with a slow boot problem? | 03:03 |
| Gerwin | mdg: I'll give it a try | 03:03 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: how the H did you do this? | 03:04 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | acerimmer_, i restarted the pc | 03:04 |
| mdg | Gerwin: b43-fwcutter | 03:04 |
| mdg | Gerwin: did you blacklist that one? | 03:04 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: you were'nt messing around with scripts or doing some sudo/root work?? | 03:04 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Yes | 03:05 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | acerimmer_, i right clicked on it and removed the expand thing | 03:05 |
| mdg | Gerwin: may want to remove it from blacklist before you go grab it from repos :) | 03:05 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | and that is all i did | 03:05 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | err wait | 03:05 |
| Gerwin | mdg: Might be a good idea | 03:05 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | i was adding the temperating thing for the cpu | 03:06 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: for now try reboot | 03:06 |
| mdg | Gerwin: and blacklist the one you are using now | 03:06 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | i rebooted twice | 03:06 |
| Gerwin | mdg: I'll report back to you in a few ;) | 03:06 |
| mdg | Gerwin: okay. and good luck | 03:06 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: my guess is that you have some applets taking up space on that tool bar | 03:06 |
| santisnight | Would having one hard drive external and one hard drive internal matter in my issue at all? | 03:06 |
| mdg | now if I could get rtl8180 working.... | 03:06 |
| santisnight | the external is hooked up via USB | 03:06 |
| mdg | santisnight: you would need to know what partition the boot record is on for the external drive | 03:07 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: ok here' the fix. MANUALLY right click on each applet, then move it into position. Once it's where it SHOULD be, LOCK IT into place. | 03:07 |
| mr_fribble | jrib: Is there a way to see if PDO is installed because I have a feeling its not. | 03:08 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | acerimmer_, when i right click i get an option menu | 03:08 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | not a way to move it | 03:08 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | i unchecked the "LOCK" but it now still wont move | 03:08 |
| jrib | mr_fribble: I am not familiar with pdo. What is it? | 03:08 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | oh got it | 03:09 |
| acerimmer_ | DJ_HaMsTa: start with the right most app | 03:09 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | i clicked on move | 03:09 |
| mdg | DJ_HaMsTa: you have to click "move" | 03:09 |
| mr_fribble | jrib: It is a mysql extension that is needed for a program to run properly. | 03:09 |
| santisnight | mdg, i mean in terms of speed read by the BIOS | 03:09 |
| mdg | santisnight: won't be as fast | 03:10 |
| jrib | mr_fribble: right. How are you determining it isn't installed? (after you installed the php5-mysql package) | 03:11 |
| mdg | santisnight: I think you have to time turning on the USB harddrive just right so your computer sees it | 03:11 |
| con-man | how do I tell how fast my connection is ? 100mbs/1gigabit? ifconfig doesn't tell me | 03:11 |
| santisnight | mdg, but slow enough to cause grub to bork up and only pick up one drive? (however if that were the case... why not just pick up XP over the external...?) | 03:11 |
| mdg | santisnight: guess you could try.... | 03:12 |
| Gerwin | santisnight: It could be that you can't boot from USB. Look in your BIOS-settings for something like 'Legacy USB' | 03:12 |
| Gerwin | mdg: No luck yet :( | 03:12 |
| jrib | mr_fribble: presumably there is some sort of configuration to enable it | 03:12 |
| mdg | actually plop boot manager from a floppy or cdrom can boot darn near anything | 03:13 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | acerimmer_, got it! works thanks | 03:13 |

| mdg | I love my plop boot floppy! | 03:14 |
| con-man | how do I tell how fast my connection is ? 100mbs/1gigabit? ifconfig doesn't tell me | 03:14 |
| mdg | con-man: right click on your network icon and then click on connection information | 03:15 |
| mdg | hi santisnight ! | 03:16 |
| mdg | con-man: did you see my response? | 03:17 |
| santisnight | mdg, accedentally closed -_- | 03:18 |

| webPragmatist | okay | 03:32 |
| webPragmatist | why is there two kernels in grub | 03:32 |
| webPragmatist | -21 and -22 | 03:32 |
| infox | this is the second time installing it | 03:32 |
| infox | and it does the same exact thing | 03:32 |
| IdleOne | webPragmatist: grub keeps track of all the kernel versions you have installed on your system | 03:32 |
| webPragmatist | IdleOne: now, apt is trying to compile source for both | 03:32 |
| acerimmer_ | webPragmatist: your kernel gets updated. kernels don't get auto deleted. | 03:32 |
| webPragmatist | like i sai | 03:33 |
| webPragmatist | said* | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | webPragmatist: it also lists them for you so that if the newest kernel does not want to boot you can select the older one and boot with it | 03:33 |
| brax | mkquist: It says I should dpkg --remove those packages, but that says exec format error when I do that too... | 03:33 |

| webPragmatist | acerimmer_: and thats retarded… this is a brand new install | 03:34 |
| webPragmatist | so what you are saying is that the iso from the website contains two kernels | 03:34 |
| infox | guess i'm just screwd | 03:34 |
| acerimmer_ | webPragmatist: no, you definitely did a system update at some point | 03:34 |
| brax | infox: You might not be. | 03:34 |
| webPragmatist | hrm | 03:34 |
| brax | I just don't know how to help you, I'm not that advanced yet. | 03:34 |
| webPragmatist | this might be true | 03:35 |
| acerimmer_ | brax: your grub boot isn't working?? | 03:35 |
| webPragmatist | acerimmer_: how do i get rid of that other kernel so it won't try to compile for it | 03:35 |
| mr_fribble | Will reinstalling php affect mysql databases? | 03:35 |
| brax | acerimmer_: What? That's absurd. No, it's just dpkg is throwing a hissy fit. | 03:35 |
| brax | mr_fribble: I don't believe so, no. | 03:36 |

| onetinsoldier | brax: i know how to make it so that the packages are gone as far as you package manager goes, but the files from those packages will still be left on your hard drive. | 03:51 |
| brax | Will it stop giving me error messages, then? | 03:52 |
| edbian | onetinsoldier, Why on earth would you want that? | 03:52 |

| brax | Oh, yeah. Perhaps I can find the files myself. | 03:55 |
| carol_beer | DjDark: Computer says no. | 03:56 |
| onetinsoldier | brax: once the errors are gone, you could then reinstall those two packages and then remove them. that's what most people do when i have them do this kind of operation | 03:56 |

| carol_beer | jcapinc: Computer says no. | 03:57 |
| jcapinc | o.O | 03:57 |
| kasun | I tried changing ownership through X server. when I change it, it gets back to the original one | 03:57 |

| acerimmer_ | jcapinc: not what you meant?? | 04:00 |
| carol_beer | DjDark: I'd appreciate it if you kept the tone of discussion here civil and family friendly. Thanks. | 04:00 |
| brax | Yessir, onetinsoldier | 04:00 |

| onetinsoldier | brax: ok, save the file and close it.... then try --> sudo apt-get -s -f install | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | meshug: sabayon is not Ubuntu | 04:02 |
| con-man | can anyone help me find a debian of ffmpeg-mt | 04:02 |
| meshug | ok | 04:02 |
| meshug | but what is ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| IdleOne | !ubuntu | 04:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 04:02 |
| meshug | i am n00b | 04:03 |
| meshug | ok | 04:03 |
| carol_beer | con-man: Computer says no. | 04:03 |
| meshug | but sabayon is the same thing | 04:03 |
| onetinsoldier | brax: that caommand will run apt-get in simulation mode to show you waht it would do without actually doing it | 04:03 |
| brianl | If i am using opensuse and my wifi works, should it be able to work on ubuntu? | 04:03 |
| onetinsoldier | command* | 04:03 |
| meshug | same definition | 04:03 |
| meshug | why do you hate sdabayon? | 04:03 |
| edbian | meshug, Ubuntu is an operating system like Windows 7 or Mac OS X | 04:03 |
| merischino | i was here a little while ago as mememe, and during a synaptic update of my packages, my irc got corrupted. couldn't get back in. when the downloads completed, i restarted, and now cannot start my new ubuntu-installed computer at all, from either windows xp or ubuntu. using my 9.10 live cd to boot does not work, either. | 04:03 |
| meshug | ok | 04:03 |
| meshug | but sabayon is like ubuntu arent it? | 04:03 |
| kasun | hello, is it possible to set permissions in a ntfs partition? | 04:03 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: you can't live boot??? | 04:03 |
| edbian | brianl, It is more likely but it doesn't prove anything | 04:03 |
| edbian | kasun, NTFS doesn't have file permissions like ext3 or 4 | 04:04 |
| brianl | edbian: is there a way i can see if my card is supported? | 04:04 |
| con-man | carol_beer, wat? | 04:04 |
| IdleOne | meshug: do you take your toyota to a mercedes dealer to get repaired? | 04:04 |
| edbian | brianl, What is the card? | 04:04 |
| merischino | acerimmer, i can't live boot. i cand cold dead boot. i just can't boot period. | 04:04 |
| brax | Yay! | 04:04 |
| meshug | i dont have a toyota | 04:04 |
| jcapinc | Ubuntu is like Sabayon, but easier, more user-friendly, more desktop-orianted | 04:04 |
| meshug | still using my bike | 04:04 |
| IdleOne | meshug: we support ubuntu here not sabayon | 04:04 |
| onetinsoldier | brax: :-) | 04:04 |
| brax | Now how do I do the second part you were talking about? | 04:04 |
| meshug | ok | 04:04 |
| meshug | i understand now | 04:04 |
| edbian | brianl, (yes, google it) or I can tell you | 04:04 |
| brianl | edbian: i am not sure lol, how do i find out? | 04:04 |
| meshug | sorry | 04:04 |
| carol_beer | con-man: Don't "wat" me. In the Ubuntu channel, it is required that you use proper spelling and grammar. | 04:04 |
| FloodBot4 | meshug: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:04 |
| meshug | how is ubuntu? | 04:05 |

| IdleOne | meshug: if you feel like chatting please got to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:05 |
| edbian | meshug, ubuntu is great :) | 04:05 |
| brianl | edbian: nope, suse | 04:05 |
| kasun | edbian, ok. tnx. is there a way to restrict access of a normal user to a folder in a ntfs? | 04:05 |
| meshug | FloodBot4 ? | 04:05 |
| edbian | brianl, good enough, sudo lspci | 04:05 |
| meshug | edbian ok | 04:05 |
| edbian | kasun, Not that I know of | 04:05 |
| jcapinc | is there a ubuntu or gnu-based alternative to window's Active Directory? | 04:05 |

| con-man | carol_beer, with regards to your last comment; what? | 04:06 |
| edbian | brianl, You have a BCM4311. Should be supported | 04:06 |

| IdleOne | carol_beer: it is also required that you be polite and curtious | 04:07 |
| edbian | brianl, I can't promise there is support out of the box but I've seen that card working under ubuntu before. | 04:07 |

| kasun | edbian, I got vista bundled with the laptop. So, Im keeping ntfs drives though i rarely use it. | 04:08 |
| edbian | kasun, OIC | 04:08 |
| LynX^ | hey guys i need some help with some bash scripting if anyone knows anything | 04:09 |
| Gnea | hrm, 9.10 is pissing me off, time to upgrade to 10.04 | 04:09 |
| kasun | edbian, I keep my data files there, so needs some protection! | 04:09 |
| edbian | kasun, You can restrict users from touching an entire partition by making an fstab entry for it and mounting it in a folder that they don't have permissions to. | 04:09 |
| edbian | kasun, The folder you mount a partition in is the gateway to that partition and it is based in ext4 land. If you set permissions for nobody to read that folder nobody can read the entire partition mounted in it. Make sense? | 04:09 |
| IdleOne | FrozenInferno: :) Welcome | 04:10 |
| greezmunkey | LynX^: don't accuse us of being intelligent :) The filks in #bash are very helpful as well. :) | 04:10 |

| FrozenInferno | IdleOne: Thanks, apparently, it is possible to screw up a copy/paste job. >_>; | 04:10 |
| IdleOne | FrozenInferno: indeed | 04:10 |
| LynX^ | greezmunkey thanks :) | 04:10 |
| merischino | ok so i guess here is my question. is there some way, using a live usb install (i'm making one right now using yet another computer), for me to preserve/restore the data and windows install on the other partition in my drive? or is installing a ubuntu instance that actually works just plain going to have to erase my whole hard drive? | 04:11 |
| kasun | edbian, yes, sure. that would do it. | 04:11 |
| edbian | kasun, Do you need help doing that? | 04:11 |
| kasun | edbian, yes. please. just setting permissions to the folder won't do it, right? | 04:11 |
| FrozenInferno | So can anyone help me with a problem with multiple displays? I deleted all the panels on my secondary because I assumed I could drag windows between screens. However, the windows opened on my primary will not drag to my secondary and I cannot open windows on my secondary as I've deleted the panels. | 04:12 |
| edbian | :) | 04:12 |
| brax | onetinsoldier: How do we do the second part? | 04:12 |
| kasun | because the partition get auto mounted! | 04:12 |
| edbian | kasun, see my PM? It's noisy here.... | 04:12 |
| onetinsoldier | brax: second part? | 04:13 |
| kasun | edbian, yes, i see it | 04:13 |
| onetinsoldier | brax: you mean reinstall those two? | 04:13 |
| pepee | hi | 04:13 |
| brax | onetinsoldier: Yeah, so I can get rid of them. Is it just a typical install then? | 04:13 |

| CkhiKuzad | this happens every shut down | 04:30 |
| merischino | ubuntu has crashed my pc and i need to recover it. badly. | 04:30 |
| CkhiKuzad | merischino: put an ubuntu livecd in, and reinstall. it should fix it | 04:31 |
| wildbat | FrozenInferno, don't know then ~ either that or just dragging like my laptop here | 04:31 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: make sure you set your bios to boot the live cd first | 04:31 |
| CkhiKuzad | if you are a windows user mainly, partition it so that windows is on a different part | 04:31 |
| merischino | ckhikuzad that's the problem. my livecd isn't doing live anything. cannot boot. cannot reinstall. cannot boot from cd. can. not. boot. | 04:31 |
| merischino | acerimmer, did that. | 04:32 |
| merischino | still, cannot boot. | 04:32 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: and this SAME DISC did boot earlier, right? | 04:32 |
| merischino | ckhikuzad: i did set it for a side-by-side installation. problem is, it crapped out both sides, and now i have nothing. | 04:32 |
| merischino | right | 04:32 |
| pepee | solved... | 04:32 |
| merischino | this same disc, DID boot, which is how i got the install that was corrupted on it in the first place. | 04:32 |
| FrozenInferno | wildbat: nope, it just tries to switch workspaces when I do that, and if I disable all workspaces but one, then it does nothing | 04:32 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: Boot the windows CD and run repair windows installation | 04:33 |
| merischino | AND, i performed a safe mode boot (attempted, 4 times, 4 different ways) that ultimately gave me at least the option to "check the cd" which, of course, also crapped out without a result of any kind. | 04:33 |

| merischino | vindy, if you are talking to me, the boot goes through and gives me the menu of 4 options of ubuntu install (2 of them safe mode) and the windows xp boot. selecting any of them results in disaster. | 04:38 |
| wildbat | FrozenInferno, grats i did nothing ;p | 04:38 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: here's my advice - based on having fragged my dual XP/Ubuntu more than once | 04:38 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: (1) fix windows with this http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/ | 04:38 |
| Vindy | merischino: yeah sorry, I was directing at you. What is the disaster? Blank screen? Disk error? Beeping and smoke? | 04:39 |
| wildbat | lol Vindy smoke?~ | 04:39 |
| Vindy | ;) | 04:39 |
| wildbat | Vindy, that's not a good time for irc ~ but 911 then ;p | 04:39 |
| Vindy | I just mean there isn't really a good description yet of exactly where this boot process is freezing | 04:39 |
| CkhiKuzad | Whenever i shut down, hibernate, etc, it never shuts down to the point where there is no power running, it just shuts down the drives, fan, and the hardware, and says 'system halted' | 04:40 |
| CkhiKuzad | this happens every shut down | 04:40 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: (2) download a clean alternate install ubuntu. Checksum the download AND the burned iso/USB installation. Re-install ubuntu. | 04:40 |
| merischino | wildbat, i just borrowed one that is all ready to make the usb right now. usb is formatted and in place. iso files are downloaded (thought i'd do multiple live version for other than ubuntu options also if neeeded) and i just need to know the steps to follow. | 04:40 |
| wildbat | !usb | merischino | 04:41 |
| ubottu | merischino: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 04:41 |
| jijizaza | hello | 04:41 |
| wildbat | merischino, easiest way is to install grub4dos or grub2 and d iso loop mount booting | 04:41 |
| acerimmer_ | !hi|jijizaza | 04:41 |
| ubottu | jijizaza: 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! | 04:41 |
| merischino | what does persistent live usb install mean? | 04:41 |
| Tac_Home | is there a bugzilla for ubuntu? since I installed the netbook remix, I've found 2 issues I'd like to either report, or see if they've been reported... | 04:42 |
| acerimmer_ | !bug>Tac_Home | 04:42 |
| ubottu | Tac_Home, please see my private message | 04:42 |
| wildbat | merischino, persistent live session that allow you save changes in between live session | 04:42 |
| mr_fribble | Which php.ini should I edit to change settings? There are two, one in apache2 folder and another in the cli folder. Why are there two? | 04:42 |
| merischino | wildbat, i tried fixing grub2 about 4 different times prior to restarting the pc and losing everything. not sure grub was the problem. and, the disaster that was happening is, no matter which os i chose to boot, it would hang and end up with a black screen. forcing me to forcefully turn it off. | 04:42 |
| Tac_Home | acerimmer_, an issue with the top panel, would that be filed to gnome? | 04:43 |
| bfinch | got my daughters laptop....she upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 ... it would lockup if on battery.... andthe sound did not work... changed one sound setting to "speaker output" and now the keyboard locks up during start and the sound is a loop....and no login .... how can i fix this ? | 04:43 |
| Vindy | Tac_Home: https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix is the netbook remix launch | 04:43 |
| BiggFREE | bbl | 04:43 |
| acerimmer_ | Tac_Home: sounds right. If it's cross referencible to other issues, someone will probably catch that | 04:43 |
| wildbat | merischino, you upgraded from grub to grub2? | 04:43 |
| merischino | wildbat: yes, i upgraded from grub to grub2 prior to rebooting my system. | 04:44 |
| bfinch | can anyonehelp me ? | 04:44 |
| bfinch | (maybe not) | 04:44 |
| merischino | shouldn t have had to, since 9.04 live cd is the ubuntu version i started with, and since i had performed an online upgrade to 10.4 before doing the grub fixes people were suggesting online in this room. | 04:45 |
| acerimmer_ | merischino: grub > grub 2 with wubi/dual boots has been very problematic for many | 04:45 |
| Tac_Home | acerimmer_, so am I to post the issue without being able to see if it's been submitted already then? | 04:45 |
| merischino | was not a wubi, acerimmer. | 04:45 |
| mr_fribble | Which php.ini should I edit to change settings? There are two, one in apache2 folder and another in the cli folder. Why are there two? | 04:45 |
| merischino | was from ubuntu itself, using synaptic. | 04:45 |
| bfinch | this IS the help channel right ? | 04:45 |
| acerimmer_ | Tac_Home: do the regular expected process. | 04:45 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | ok, installed SWAT and samba and set up a share, how do I access it now? | 04:45 |
| acerimmer_ | !ask|bfinch | 04:45 |
| ubottu | bfinch: 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. :-) | 04:45 |
| bfinch | i did NOT ask to ask | 04:46 |
| merischino | alright. i am still here, but slow to reply because i am reading all about usb installs and md56checksums | 04:46 |
| wildbat | merischino, numbers of ppl have that issue ~ after upgrading ~ some hange forever ~ some hangs for 1-2min ~... i dunno how t fix that ~ suggesting renaming the /boot do a total reinstall of grub2 , remember to restore the kernel and initrd files . or just reinstall every from ground zer | 04:46 |
| Vindy | bfinch: saw your question man, sorry. Just don't have a guess at how you could go from A to B with that change | 04:46 |
| webPragmatist | chill | 04:46 |
| webPragmatist | it's just irc | 04:46 |
| albertito | Hi! I'm using Lucid and a vanilla 2.6.34 kernel, with encrypted swap. On an initramfs generated with 9.10, I can hibernate and resume just fine. But I just regenerated the initramfs with 10.04 and now it does not ask for the encrypted swap password as it used to do. That makes it unable to resume. Is this a known issue? | 04:46 |
| bfinch | Vindy, this is like the bad old days when upgrades should not be performed | 04:47 |
| merischino | wildbat, not sure any of those are an option just now, not able to boot the machine at all. so reinstall from ground zero seems to be the option. | 04:47 |
| IdeAleSs | The following page pegs my system at 50% utilization just sitting there. It does in FF and Chromium on Lucid. Any ideas? (http://www.somewhatsimple.com/2010/05/strut-your-stuff-with-indie-chick.html) | 04:47 |
| bfinch | another question.. is there a specific recovery procedure.. perhaps using the cd/dvd/usb stick that has the install on it ? | 04:47 |
| Vindy | bfinch: in some cases, yeah | 04:47 |
| bfinch | Vindy, well ? | 04:48 |
| wildbat | merischino, make a boot USB and install then ~ if you need windows ~ install windows first . | 04:48 |
| bfinch | is the recovery using the installusb stick documented ? | 04:48 |
| albertito | IdeAleSs: it seems it's a flash problem, because at least here the flash player is the one taking up the cpu, not chromium | 04:48 |
| clop2 | hi, i seem to be missing the volume control in my task bar and don't see how to get it back... any ideas? | 04:49 |
| merischino | wildbat: working on it! | 04:50 |
| acerimmer_ | clop2: add indicator applet | 04:50 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: Hey :) | 04:50 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | Once I have swat running with samba, and have selected a share, how do I then access it from a windows box? | 04:50 |
| clop2 | acerimmer_, ah thanks! | 04:50 |
| bfinch | Vindy, thanks for answering my first two questions....i guess I will have to give my duaghter the bad news | 04:50 |
| acerimmer_ | clop2: de nada | 04:50 |
| Vindy | bfinch: the recovery boot doesn't quite seem like it is oriented toward fixing what you're looking at | 04:51 |
| Vindy | bfinch, dropping a fresh install over your existing partitions could give you a cleaner slate though | 04:52 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: howdy greezmunkey. i had a problem, a big one | 04:52 |
| CkhiKuzad | whenever i shut down, it doesnt shut down completely, it just says system halted | 04:52 |
| clop2 | hrmn, is there a way to take the mail thing out of the indicator applet? | 04:52 |
| bfinch | Vindy, well i suppose... | 04:52 |
| iplaythisgame | i'm trying to use handbrake to transcode a bunch of dvds in video_ts folder to mp4. Is there was way to use a command with structure handbrake -i /path/foldername -o /path/foldername.mp4 Can you use a folder name like that as the output variable? | 04:52 |
| descender | does anyone know where the font filed are copied to when you use install fonts via Nautilus? | 04:52 |
| bblum | hey guys, is there a meta-package i can grab to get all the development files for x11 so i can build awesome-3? | 04:52 |
| bblum | libx11-dev is disappointingly misnamed. | 04:52 |
| bfinch | Vindy, how does one do a recovery boot please ? | 04:52 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: so how are you? i had to reinstall ubuntu, grrr | 04:52 |
| Vindy | It is usually set up in your grub by defaultt bfinch. | 04:53 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: bummer, what happened? | 04:53 |
| becker_11 | I have just purchased an external 1Tb drive, normally they are formatted fat32 but all my computers run linux so I was thinking of using ext3. Is there any reason to leave it at Fat32?? | 04:53 |
| bfinch | all i see is the gui screen... how do i access grub ? | 04:53 |
| albertito | it seems hibernating to encrypted swap is known not to work. Shouldn't that be in the release notes, since it used to be? Should I report that somewhere? | 04:54 |
| merischino | acerimmer, i did a search but didn't find it. is there such a page as neosmart's, but for Windows XP recover? | 04:54 |
| con-man | "git clone git://repo.or.cz/mplayer && cd mplayer && git checkout origin/mt && git submodule init && git submodule update && ./configure && make && make install" | 04:54 |
| con-man | the above | 04:54 |
| con-man | does this make sense to anyone? | 04:54 |
| descender | oh n/m, I found them, they go to ~/.fonts/ | 04:54 |
| con-man | I'm trying to get ffmpeg-mt | 04:54 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: well, i'm about 98% sure i can reproduce it, i'll tell you in a moment | 04:54 |
| albertito | becker_11: if you don't expect to use it from windows, then no. And you may want to consider ext4 instead of ext3, although both should work just fine | 04:54 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: Don't kill it again! | 04:54 |
| wildbat | becker_11, nope ~ unless you want 4GB file szie limit and use it in windows machine | 04:55 |
| iplaythisgame | becker_11, i use 3 1Tb drives in my linux server as ext3. Is'nt the movement going to ext4 thought, you might want to use that. | 04:55 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: i won't ;-) | 04:55 |
| becker_11 | albertito: I don't mind ext4 but I recently had a problem when I went to try debian 5 apparently it doesn't recognise /home partitions in ext4 so I had to move back to the 'bunt | 04:55 |
| bblum | guys, is there any way to sanely grab all the development files i would like for building an X app in one go? | 04:56 |
| bblum | you'd think for a distribution that doesn't compile from source but keeps outdated repos, there would be -some- facilitation of downloading and building packages from source by hand | 04:57 |
| becker_11 | iplaythisgame: yeah internalls no drama this is external but either way its all linux and yeah ext 4 is the latests but ext 3 is proven and has a track record 1Tb is alot of data to take a chance with even if it is slim | 04:57 |
| bblum | but it just seems like a tremendous pain | 04:57 |
| con-man | would someone mind examining the following pastebin and telling me what went wrong and how to rectify it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/440195/ | 04:57 |
| Tac_Home | what would the package be that I should report the bug to, for an issue with my top panel in gnome, it says gnome isn't installed... is the package called something else? | 04:58 |
| merischino | anyone: can you tell me if there is an online, available, downloadable, Windows XP recovery disk option available, like the neosmart one that's for windows 7? | 04:58 |
| iplaythisgame | becker_11, there are tools you can use in windows to edit a ext3 drive too. I've had one of them going since 7.10 | 04:59 |
| albertito | con-man: the configure step failed because there was no such file. Most applications don't have a configure file in their source repository, probably this is one of them. You should follow the installation instructions of the application itself | 04:59 |
| becker_11 | bootdisk.com | 04:59 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | Hi, I have samba set up with Swat and shared a path, how do I now access it from a windows box? | 04:59 |
| becker_11 | iplaythisgame: thanks | 04:59 |
| iplaythisgame | i'm trying to use handbrake to transcode a bunch of dvds in video_ts folder to mp4. Is there was way to use a command with structure handbrake -i /path/foldername -o /path/foldername.mp4 Can you use a folder name like that as the output variable? | 04:59 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: if i log out back to the gdm screen and wait a bit, there's a drum roll sound. well, i didn't wait for that sound before i switched to a VT. at the VT were error messages repeated several times - ctxfi: Initialing PCM playback, failed! ctxfi: Initializing PLL blah blah, failed! - After that happened, once i rebooted, i could not type but a few characters of my password into the gdm password dialog box before it wo | 05:00 |
| onetinsoldier | uld disappear on me. i could not get into X at all | 05:00 |
| iplaythisgame | I can do handbrake -i /path/* -o /path/*.mp4 it crawls the folder ok, but it renames them all with an actual asterisk | 05:01 |
| con-man | albertito; those were the only instructions, just that line to paste in to terminal | 05:01 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: this is the second time that this has happened to me. the first time it happened, i did not know what had caused it. this last time, i tried installing a different kernel and uninstalled the one i had been using to see if that would do anything, to no avail | 05:02 |
| jericom | Hi all! | 05:02 |
| albertito | con-man: they seem to be wrong then, maybe you should ask in #mplayer (or equivalent)? you probably need to run autoconf, but it's probably better to ask the ones who wrote it =) | 05:03 |
| tdhz77 | Has anybody heard that OSX can read/write EXT4? I found one source that suggested that it was possible, but I'm not sure if I wanna install ubuntu ext4, just to reinstall back to ext3. | 05:03 |
| wildbat_laptop | grrr stupid comcast | 05:03 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: so in other words, i am now on my third fresh install. at least this time, i know what to avoid | 05:03 |
| dzup | and to do a *.avi to video_ts format, what to use? | 05:03 |
| mattrlinux | !i | 05:03 |
| bblum | ok, i am following the awesome-3 build guide, and i am building xcb-1.4 from source like it says, and i am getting this error: | 05:03 |
| bblum | "checking for XCB... configure: error: Package requirements (xcb >= 1.4) were not met:" | 05:03 |
| bblum | "Requested 'xcb >= 1.4' but version of XCB is 1.1" | 05:03 |
| bblum | What the hell, you guys. | 05:03 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: did you search through bug reports? Sounds to me like you found one. | 05:04 |

| merischino | acrimmer, you still here? i am trying to do the md5checksum thing, however when i run the command line and follow the instructions, i keep getting errors "the system can not find the path specified" | 05:04 |
| iplaythisgame | think you can use handbrake for that too | 05:04 |

| Tac_Home | why isn't it just called gnome! | 05:05 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: no, i have not. if i were to look, i'm not sure where i'd start. what package would it be for? i know one thing is it is at least related in some way to sound | 05:05 |
| umashanthi | Hi, I am using Ubuntu 9.04 in Toshibha laptop. My mic is not working in Ubuntu. I tried several solutions online. But none worked. | 05:05 |
| dzup | iplaythisgame: to convert from avi to video_ts format and burned to regular dvd what utility you use? | 05:05 |
| matyd | i'm running kubuntu 10.04 and am wondering why, when I plug my hdmi cord into the laptop that's connected to the television doesn't work. I tried googling buthad no luck and really wasn't sure how to even word that lol | 05:06 |

| DryGrain | hrm | 05:06 |
| Tac_Home | I want to file a bug, but it says gnome isn't installed, but I know this is gnome... so I assume it's called something else... | 05:06 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: not sure if it would be a sound bug though, or an X thing, or a kernel bug, or upstart, ect. | 05:06 |
| IdleOne | Tac_Home: ubuntu-desktop | 05:06 |
| Tac_Home | IdleOne, not installed | 05:07 |

| usacomputertec | Ok I'll try | 05:17 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: rsl-automake, rsl-gzip.patch, rsl-type_str.patch, rsl-valgrind.patch, and rsl-warnings.patch | 05:19 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: diff file, patch file... pretty much the same thing | 05:20 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I apparantly do not have them. I could not access his site when I tried. I got the rsl file from the TRMM project site within NASA | 05:21 |
| webPragmatist | hrm | 05:21 |
| webPragmatist | i have a question about dist-upgrad | 05:21 |
| webPragmatist | if i dist-upgrade… then autoremove the packages | 05:21 |
| webPragmatist | and it doesn't actually remove the unused kernels… how can I? | 05:21 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: ohhh, somehow i doubt that source will work. i have all files here, i saved everything. the source, the patch files i made, the .debs checkinstall made, and a few notes on what i did | 05:22 |
| Spyzer | when we talk about processor speed say xyz GHz. Then in case of multicore or multiprocessing motherboards of intel, are we talking about the speed of a single processor or all of them combined?? | 05:23 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: have you been to this site? http://lug.rose-hulman.edu/wiki/AWeather | 05:24 |
| Spyzer | means for a quad core will it be xyz*4 Gz or just xyzGHz | 05:24 |
| Spyzer | ? | 05:24 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I actually got side tracked though, I have a need to build a pppoe/radius server. I'll be putting that together tomarrow at the shop. I am also building a ubuntu-server based DVR tomarrow, RAID setup the whole deal. | 05:24 |
| Spyzer | please tell........... | 05:24 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: oh. that sounds like it will be keeping you busy for a bit! | 05:24 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: heh, I am now - thanks. Probably would have saved me a lot of time... | 05:25 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: what would have save you a lot of time? | 05:25 |
| panzer | getting kernel panic on install of ubuntu 10.04 32bit alt install cd | 05:26 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I'll pull down everything I can get from his site for aweather...Oh, the url you sent me. I spent a good hour surfing through NASA's TRMM site(s) for that file :) | 05:26 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: hehe, roger. there's a link on there to get the 'git' patches http://lug.rose-hulman.edu/git/?a=tree;p=proj/aweather;f=opt/rsl | 05:27 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: if you look at that, you'll see all the filenames i listed a bit ago ;-) | 05:27 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: I see that. I haven't used git, I'll see if I have it on my system, brb... | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: but this part, is only one of the hoops you have to jump through ;-) | 05:28 |
| webPragmatist | hrm | 05:28 |
| webPragmatist | interesting | 05:28 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: you don't need it, just click on 'raw' | 05:28 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: no git here, Ah - got that, thanks :) | 05:29 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: then copy and paste into a .diff or .patch file | 05:29 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: Ha, libgis - I could *not* find that one. I found lots of references to it, but not the lib file itself - This site is the rosetta stone for getting this going! | 05:31 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | is there an easier way to transfer files off a ubuntu box to windows than samba? | 05:31 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: for rsl... another hoop you have to jump through is using the proper version of 'aclocal' and then there's another little thing you have to do with aclocal.. and then, you need the right version of, libtool | 05:31 |
| rocket16 | Helll all | 05:31 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: ftp? | 05:31 |
| nsouer | Ricky_Rat5005: sneaker net | 05:32 |
| onetinsoldier | rocket16: howdy | 05:32 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: Oh, fine. Thanks, :) | 05:32 |
| greezmunkey | rocket16: helll to you to :) | 05:32 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | what is an easy ftp server to install? | 05:32 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: i would probably need to just walk you through it as i was saying before! | 05:32 |
| rocket16 | greezmunkey: Lol, I just mistyped "hello", :D But thanks, | 05:32 |
| nsouer | Ricky_Rat5005, are these boxes geographically close to one another? | 05:33 |
| rocket16 | Friends, does using Adium themes in Pidgin increase the Memory Consumption? | 05:33 |
| nsouer | Ricky_Rat5005: just use a flash drive | 05:33 |
| panzer | I am getting kernel panic on the beginning of a 32bit alt install of 10.04 anyone got any suggestions? | 05:34 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: actually samba or ftp are each as difficult as the other, although samba (once done) is a lot more seamless. | 05:34 |
| nsouer | greezmunkey: which is why I suggested the flash drive/sneakernet | 05:35 |
| onetinsoldier | rocket16: i don't know for sure, but the likely answer would be that it probably uses a little more. i'm using a gnome theme that requires the gtk2-engines-aurora' theme engine. do i think it requires a little more mem? yes | 05:35 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | greezmunkey: using samba and swat and can't get it to work | 05:36 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: swat is about useless imho, can you access your windows box from ubuntu? | 05:36 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: Thanks, :) I believe the same is for my case as well. Some of those themes are really nice, but I believe for more speed, I need to sacrifice them, :) | 05:37 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: Actually, try this - first make sure you can ping your windows box | 05:37 |
| rocket16 | panzer: Did you try using the Recover mode? | 05:37 |
| panzer | rocket16: no. | 05:37 |
| onetinsoldier | rocket16: roger. does this theme come with ubuntu/pigdin? or did you have to download it separate? | 05:37 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | yes I can | 05:38 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: Next, Open up Places and find a folder in your home directory, right click on the folder icon, and select "sharing options" check the box, and close out. Go to one of your winboxes and see if you can "see" it in network neighborhood. | 05:38 |
| panzer | rocket16: I don't think that would help on an install would it? | 05:38 |
| onetinsoldier | rocket16: yeah, most themes that you look at and go, this is really nice lookin, probably takes up a little more mem. probably not much though | 05:38 |
| iplaythisgame | dzup, pretty sure u can use handbrake for that too | 05:39 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: No, it did not come with Pidgin. I just followed a guide, :) And installed Adium-Style-Messaging Plugin for Pidgin (because I never wish to switch to Empathy, still the new theme of Empathy looked great). | 05:39 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: Yes, thanks, :) | 05:39 |
| onetinsoldier | i have ram to spare though. easy for me to say :P | 05:40 |
| rocket16 | panzer: I think, you might try to clean some packages from Terminal. Did you install ATI or NVidia Drivers recently? | 05:40 |
| panzer | rocket16: this is a windows machine I am trying to dump windows from and clean install ubuntu on. | 05:40 |
| FyreFoX | hi I did an install of lucid using the alternative cd and let it do the partitions auto. fdisk reports 'Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary', googling indicates this is nothing to be concerned about. Should I be? | 05:41 |
| panzer | literally the only thing I have done is download and burn 10.04 alt install to cd | 05:41 |
| rocket16 | onetinsoldier: :D In my Desktop, I use Kubuntu, which has 8GB RAM, but my Laptop is too old, and has only 512 MB, :D Still I like using Ubuntu on it (because Lubuntu or Xubuntu doesn't suite me, :) ) | 05:41 |
| onetinsoldier | rocket16: ahh, i see. yeah, 512 MB is pretty slim i reckon nowadays | 05:42 |

| albertito | in case anyone cared, regarding resuming from an encrypted swap, I finally made it work by creating a script in /etc/initramfs-tools/ that ran cryptsetup to open it | 05:42 |
| teurastaja | i restarted the computer but its still there | 05:42 |
| Doyle | Q: Why does flash media play perfectly when the source is local, but horribly when watched online? Linux flash sucks, I've heard that for years, but why can't the software that runs it so well locally be used by the browser to play streaming flash just as well? | 05:43 |
| teurastaja | it said something about incresing ram, gart and and asic error | 05:43 |
| Mrpeepers310 | hey is there a way to repair a lucid install? I screwed up my system and I just want revert it back to the original install | 05:43 |
| tdhz77 | Doyle, flash is terrible. Not linux. | 05:43 |
| teurastaja | it prevented me from booting now im on | 05:43 |
| teurastaja | the menu is messed up | 05:44 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: Any luck with that? | 05:44 |
| iplaythisgame | command -i /path/* -o /path/*.mp4 how can i get the foldername used in the first asterisk to be used as the filename of the second asterisk? | 05:45 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | greezmunkey: just shared now... checking.... | 05:45 |
| iamm | hi everyone, is the torrent tracker in ubuntu down? status was target machine actively refused it | 05:45 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: I know Linux is great and flash is evil, but flash still plays great when the source is local. I want to know why they can't make a player that renders it well in a browser I guess. | 05:45 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | greezmunkey: you are awesome, now I can see them...!!! | 05:45 |
| Mrpeepers310 | is there anyway to repair lucid to it's original install? | 05:46 |
| tdhz77 | Doyle, which browser? | 05:46 |
| panzer | rocket16: any idea? | 05:46 |
| greezmunkey | albertito: Post it to the forums, maybe. In case someone else runs into that problem! | 05:46 |
| kaushal | I am running 9.04 and plan to upgrade it to 10.04 LTS desktop. is there a way to see my wireless card is supported on 10.04 ? 0c:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) | 05:46 |
| datz | hi, is there any difference between xubuntu and ubuntu besides the desktop environment? are they both built upon ubuntu-server? | 05:47 |
| rocket16 | Doyle: The same doesn't occur in my case. Did you install the Ubuntu-restricted-extras package? Or only the flash package? (If only the package, then it might be that you install Gnash Plugin, which is very slow). | 05:47 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: I've tried the usual suspects: Firefox, Chrome, The one that starts with O that I can't think of. | 05:47 |
| pallgone | rocket16: I'm just experimenting with with old computers and I must say that XFCE is great for them. But that's not the same as Xubuntu, which includes a lot of stuff that makes it slow again. So take Ubuntu or Debian Base and install only XFCE (not Xubuntu Desktop) | 05:47 |
| iamm | i'm taking forever to download the ISO :( | 05:47 |
| albertito | greezmunkey: I was thinking of posting it to bug 264075. I'm not much of a forums person, but if there's a mailing list you can suggest, I'd be glad to send it there | 05:47 |
| greezmunkey | teurastaja: what do you mean the menu stops. The menu hangs up totally requiring you to restart, or it hangs for a moment, and then let's you continue, or...??? | 05:47 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: I install the beta flash packages as they become available | 05:47 |
| rocket16 | panzer: Sorry fried, :( Not yet, :( | 05:47 |
| Ricky_Rat5005 | greez: thanks again!!!!! | 05:47 |
| tdhz77 | Doyle: 64bit? | 05:47 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: 32, dual 2ghz 4g ram | 05:48 |
| rocket16 | pallgone: I know, and I installed LXDE (faster than Xfce), as a package in Ubuntu, :) | 05:48 |
| teurastaja | i restarted myself because i lost all my running programs and i cant get a normal session on | 05:48 |

| matyd | I got multiple monitors working in kubuntu 10.04 but it isnt transmittiing the sound to my television. the laptop and the tv are cnnected via hdmi cord.... any suggestions? | 05:48 |
| teurastaja | then it blocked me at boot with the error | 05:48 |
| pallgone | rocket16: I'm using XFCE now almost everywhere... some things in GNOME annoyed me | 05:49 |
| albertito | greezmunkey: make that bug #264075 (the other was a duplicate of this one) | 05:49 |
| rocket16 | panzer: I don't think that will help, because support is more in 10.04, and more developed. But, you can use the general CD if you like, of 10.04 (in case you're using Alternate CD) | 05:49 |
| datz | matyd: does your video card support audio as well? | 05:49 |
| Mrpeepers310 | is there anyway to repair lucid to it's original install? | 05:49 |
| tdhz77 | Doyle: Firefox and chrome do not do well with flash video. Often times spikes CPU usage and memory cough "leaks" ... Try a lighter browser without all of the bloat of the big three and half and you will start flying to new levels of flash streaming. | 05:49 |
| matyd | yes, it worked under winblows | 05:49 |
| teurastaja | its not gone | 05:49 |
| datz | hi, is there any difference between xubuntu and ubuntu besides the desktop environment? are they both built upon ubuntu-server? | 05:49 |
| panzer | well I am going to see if I can pop 9.10 and then upgrade. | 05:49 |
| panzer | all I want to do is get something on the hardware | 05:49 |
| matyd | datz any suggestions? | 05:50 |
| rocket16 | pallgone: Xfce is like a Lightweight GNOME, while LXDE is like a Lightweight KDE (although to me only) :D | 05:50 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: browser leaks are devistating since tabbed browsing came in. I remember the day when I might have two windows open to browse... now sometimes I catch myself with 15 tabs on the go. Any recommnedations for lite browsers? | 05:50 |
| pallgone | tdhz77: umm... the problem with cpu spikes in flash is more because flash is slow | 05:50 |
| iplaythisgame | command -i /path/* -o /path/*.mp4 how can i get the foldername used in the first asterisk to be used as the filename of the second asterisk? | 05:51 |
| datz | matyd: humm, perhaps a special driver is needed, might post to the forums to see if anyone else has had this issue. I don't know about it personally. | 05:51 |
| onetinsoldier | Mrpeepers310: i don't think so :-/ there are utils to make backup images, such as remastersys(not in normal repos). you can save you're package list with commands like 'dpkg --get-selections > my_ubuntu_packages' ...or, use the aptitude clone command | 05:51 |
| onetinsoldier | !clone | Mrpeepers310 | 05:52 |
| ubottu | Mrpeepers310: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:52 |
| matyd | okay thanks | 05:52 |
| greezmunkey | Ricky_Rat5005: piece of cake, I have a url for you to check out...: | 05:52 |
| ausnomer | I just upgraded to 10.04 and it said at the very end that upgrade failed, I think it was something to do with graphics. I restarted and now it starts to load the ubuntu logo (gets all corrupted) then reboots. | 05:52 |
| pallgone | rocket16: I find LXDE too limited. I don't like KDE4. I was using xmonad now for a long time but it's annoying with those programs that don't work well with tilers | 05:52 |
| tdhz77 | pallgone: Ya thats what me and doyle were discussing. Flash is evil. Try epiphany. It's really light and I had success when I was trying to stream HD sports content. | 05:52 |
| onetinsoldier | Mrpeepers310: but no, don't think there's any way to go to original install. that's what the backup imaging utilities are for | 05:52 |
| onetinsoldier | !backup | 05:52 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| rocket16 | ausnomer: I think, you downloaded the ATI drivers, which might not be compatible with your System. | 05:53 |
| Doyle | tdhz77: Beauty, I'll give that one a shot. Thanks a lot | 05:53 |
| rumpsy | onetinsoldier: need to add a user to sudo list | howto | 05:53 |
| ausnomer | I have a wireless keyboard and it won't recognise it before grub loads so I can't get to the recovery to reinstall the ati graphics drivers. Anyone know a work around? | 05:53 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 I'm using an ATI graphics driver | 05:54 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: So, can you drop in to Command Line? I mean, the xTerm or Virtual Console? | 05:54 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 they were compatible in 9.04 | 05:54 |
| Mrpeepers310 | onetinsoldier: ok thank you | 05:54 |
| Doyle | ausnomer: plug in a usb kbrd | 05:54 |
| onetinsoldier | rumpsy: i'm not familiar with that really. you be better off not asking me probably. you might read the man pages for sudo and visudo | 05:54 |
| webPragmatist | how do i specify a mount point for a volume | 05:55 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 can't do anything atm. POST, grub, Loading screen then reboot. | 05:55 |
| onetinsoldier | Mrpeepers310: sure, good luck. sorry | 05:55 |
| tdhz77 | doyle: Let me know if that helps. | 05:55 |
| ausnomer | Doyle that will bypass grub? | 05:55 |
| ausnomer | Doyle where can I download that? | 05:55 |
| ausnomer | oh I just realised kbrd was short for keyboard | 05:56 |
| ausnomer | sigh | 05:56 |
| Doyle | ausnomer: a usb cabled kbrd, not a wireless one. | 05:56 |
| ausnomer | thought it was like a usb booter | 05:56 |
| onetinsoldier | hmm, sometimes i think it's even just 'kbd' | 05:56 |
| ausnomer | don't have one at this house | 05:56 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: No problem, while the Grub loads, press Shift to make it visible. Then, enter into Recovery mode, and select Root Shell option (using arrow-keys). Now, enter this command: sudo apt-get remove fglrx | 05:56 |
| greezmunkey | rumpsy: man sudoers | 05:56 |
| webPragmatist | rather | 05:56 |
| webPragmatist | how do i mount drbd | 05:56 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 one sec, I need to try and find a usb keyboard | 05:57 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: That will remove ATI Drivers, and will allow you to reboot into the System. After you enter that command, use reboot/shutdown/poweroff command to restart the System. | 05:58 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Sure, ok | 05:58 |
| DjDark | cant use water effect, blur, or reflection...all other effects i've tried work great. and ideas? using Hardy... | 05:58 |
| DjDark | any ideas** | 05:58 |
| Doyle | Thanks again tdhz77, I'll let you know. I love this channel, reminds me when I used to support my team at dell via internal Xchat. I probably knew 15 BSOD codes by heart back then. | 05:58 |
| umashanthi | hi, anyone knows the fix for mic problem in Ubunut 9.04 please? | 05:59 |
| onetinsoldier | webPragmatist: hi, i might try to help with that. as long as your not wanting an /etc/fstab file setup. i haven't messed with that in a long time | 06:00 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: Not yet upgraded? Well, you need to specify Input options in Sound. Go to System-Preferences-Sound, and then go to Input Tab, and check the settings. | 06:00 |
| webPragmatist | onetinsoldier: well | 06:00 |
| webPragmatist | onetinsoldier: i get the same issue as this guy http://forums.opensuse.org/archives/sf-archives/archives-install-boot/314176-drbd-mount.html | 06:00 |

| umashanthi | rocket16: there's no Input tab | 06:01 |
| ausnomer | Error for some reason ubuntu just worked on the 5th reboot, I was holding down shift though.. could that have done anything to fix something? | 06:01 |
| bblum | what's the way to make apt-get do the installation process for a package | 06:01 |
| bblum | even if it's already installed? | 06:01 |
| bblum | like, if the files got overwritten | 06:01 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: I see, which are the Tabs? | 06:02 |
| bblum | basically i want to do the "apt-get remove apt-get install" thing but without uninstalling the reverse deps | 06:02 |
| rumpsy | bblum: it can't | 06:02 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: Devices and Sound | 06:02 |
| onetinsoldier | webPragmatist: yeah, don't know that i can help. i don't even know what 'drbd' is. thought that might have been a typo | 06:02 |
| bblum | rumpsy: what do you mean, it can't; what am i supposed to do if a file owned by a package gets removed? | 06:02 |
| rumpsy | bblum: remove or purge the old package and install it as new | 06:02 |
| bblum | does purge not touch revdeps? | 06:02 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: you mean the sound capture option? | 06:02 |
| albertito | bblum: you can do an aptitude reinstall, but you have to be careful | 06:02 |
| ausnomer | ok no, it just froze at the login screen | 06:02 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: Yes, used 9.04 a year ago, so not remember that option | 06:03 |
| bblum | albertito: how careful? | 06:03 |
| DjDark | anyone running 10.04 with an intel 865gv chipset? | 06:04 |
| albertito | bblum: if you altered files provided by the package in ways you care about, make a backup because they may be overriden. Otherwise, it should be safe | 06:04 |
| bblum | albertito: the idea is i hosed the old files owned b y the package | 06:05 |
| bblum | and i want them to reappear | 06:05 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: heh, I forgot I had a vpn tunnel running, no wonder I was so lagged :) | 06:05 |
| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: hehe, roger :) | 06:06 |
| albertito | bblum: then you should probably attempt an aptitude reinstall, it should be safe. Which package is it? | 06:06 |
| santisnight | wildbat_laptop, I found out my grub problems... well not found the cause, but fixed the issue. | 06:06 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: I couldn't upgrade since I have some important data here and afraid of getting issues. I checked the sound capture options. Couldn't hear my voice.. only noice | 06:07 |

| santisnight | well after running another gambit just to get grub BACK after having to reinstall XP, i hit "e" as someone said i could get to the terminal of grub and try to load XP that way, well it didn't do that directly, but i found i could update it through there and everything works now! | 06:08 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: hear the noise mostly than my voice | 06:09 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: I see, did you set the amplification level very high? | 06:09 |

| santisnight | greezmunkey, Skype won't download for me, how'd you get it? sym? | 06:09 |
| wildbat_laptop | santisnight, cool | 06:09 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: how to do that? | 06:09 |
| santisnight | onetinsoldier, thanks, i felt proud XDD | 06:09 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: no, I dl'd from skype, and installed it - works great. | 06:10 |
| santisnight | odd. | 06:10 |
| greezmunkey | onetinsoldier: let me look... | 06:10 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: I mean, is there any changer there? Like dragging switch from left to right? That is amplification. If yes, set it to 100% | 06:10 |
| santisnight | wrong person btw :P | 06:10 |

| Doyle | tdhz77: a few more months for 11 :/ | 06:26 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: the best thing you can do is keep your hand off of your cdrom. You can unmount/eject directly from your "Places" menu. Just click on the grey triangle. | 06:26 |
| lyhana8 | hi guys, I installed Kubuntu yesterday, everything fine, install and upgrade some stuff | 06:26 |
| Shamoun | is it possible to recover files if it has been more than one unmount ago? | 06:26 |
| lyhana8 | then today when I reboot, I stumble upon a grub prompt and nothing more :S | 06:26 |
| lyhana8 | Shamoun: remount the device | 06:27 |
| FyreFoX | anyone know about my question? | 06:27 |
| tdhz77 | doyle: lets go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:27 |
| Shamoun | lyhana8, well the device is the root device of an install, so i was hoping to recover using a livecd to precent any possible writing to the disk | 06:28 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: missed it, run it again please. | 06:28 |
| FyreFoX | hi I did an install of lucid using the alternative cd and let it do the partitions auto. fdisk reports 'Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary', googling indicates this is nothing to be concerned about. Should I be? | 06:28 |
| lyhana8 | Shamoun: you can still mount it and get your data | 06:29 |
| |corpse| | Hi, im having trouble installing server 10.04. i can cruz right though the hole install process until i get to the file partition part. I can select my partition i want to use (i have tried several drives now) and every time it will just straight to 33% and freeze up | 06:29 |
| wildbat_laptop | !grub2 | lyhana8 | 06:29 |
| ubottu | lyhana8: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 06:29 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: I wouldn't worry about that - does the system run? | 06:29 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, CD-ROM cant read CD too | 06:29 |
| bblum | ok, hey guys, having a bit of trouble here | 06:29 |
| lyhana8 | FyreFoX: if you get the answer on google why asking again | 06:29 |
| FyreFoX | greezmunkey: yes, quite well. I'd just rather reinstall now if its going to be a problem rather than 6months down the track | 06:29 |
| Shamoun | lyhana8, will i need to install a 3rd party tool? | 06:29 |
| FyreFoX | lyhana8: this is the official support channel I figured you might have a better idea | 06:30 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: you're chasing a ghost, did you set your partition size manually? | 06:30 |
| FyreFoX | greezmunkey: no it was all auto by the installer. | 06:30 |
| Ademan | anyone with a brother laster printer notice that it will often stipple certain documents? even if they're supposedly pure black? | 06:30 |
| lyhana8 | Shamoun: just `mount /dev/sdX# /mnt/XYZ` then browse and copy your data | 06:30 |
| Roasted | My broadcom driver won't download/install on my laptop. It worked before. Did a fresh install. Now it won't work. No clue why. Any ideas? Also cannot uninstall/install anything from synaptic. | 06:30 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, ? | 06:30 |
| FyreFoX | greezmunkey: system is working well, was just curious about the error/warning and thought id come ask the experts :) | 06:31 |
| bblum | i'm trying to reverse a manual update of libxcb, since now many apps are failing to find a certain symbol in libxcb-xlib.so, but i've made the library so that it has the symbol i need (and verified by comparing with somebody else's library), but various programs are still failing with the undefined symbol error | 06:31 |
| bblum | and i can't think of where else the problem could be | 06:31 |
| wildbat_laptop | |corpse|, partition the drive first and then format it ~ then reboot and pick the partition in installatin without formatinng it | 06:31 |
| bblum | anybody have any ideas? | 06:31 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: I wouldn't worry about it, the partitioner is smart enough to write data where it can be retrieved! | 06:31 |
| lyhana8 | FyreFoX: well it's fdisk issue so not really ubuntu dependent | 06:31 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: Do you have a CD in there now? | 06:31 |
| FyreFoX | thanks greezmunkey, my mind is at ease now. | 06:31 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 are you still here? | 06:31 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, yes | 06:31 |
| Shamoun | lyhana8, i think you misunderstand | 06:31 |
| FyreFoX | lyhana8: oh ok | 06:31 |
| Shamoun | i deleted a directory | 06:32 |
| Shamoun | linux is bootable on the system | 06:32 |
| Shamoun | i want to undelete files | 06:32 |
| FloodBot4 | Shamoun: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:32 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: remember, that advice was free :) | 06:32 |
| greezmunkey | FyreFoX: heh | 06:32 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, did you remove the lock yet? | 06:32 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: I don't think so, because I searched the Synaptic System, and found nothing like Microphone-Driver. I believe, the there might be some setting problems in the Sound TAB. | 06:32 |
| |corpse| | wildbat_laptop: is there a good bootable formating program you know off hand? or should i just throw the drive into my other pc and gpart it? | 06:32 |
| FyreFoX | greezmunkey: ;) | 06:32 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Yes,:) Is it settled? | 06:32 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: can you open up your Places menu? | 06:32 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 I drove back to my house and got a normal keyboard so I could get into recovery mode | 06:32 |
| Roasted | wildbat_laptop, I just figured out the lock. synaptic refuses to run when I try to download/install the driver first. synaptic is now working. gonna try downloading the driver now. | 06:32 |
| lyhana8 | Shamoun: oh~ well there is testdisk or photorec, but you will get all file from this device, with crappy name and no folder structrue | 06:32 |
| wildbat_laptop | !recovery | Shamoun | 06:33 |
| ubottu | Shamoun: To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 06:33 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 so do sudo apt-get remove fglrx? | 06:33 |
| Loshki | bblum: if you run ldd on one of the applications, does it show that it's using the correct library? | 06:33 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Sure, in the Root terminal. | 06:33 |
| Roasted | these constant problems get old | 06:33 |
| Roasted | real fast | 06:33 |
| Roasted | oh look. the driver isnt downloading. again. | 06:33 |
| Roasted | yet it worked on my last install. nice. real nice. | 06:33 |
| wildbat_laptop | !undelete| Shamoun | 06:33 |
| ubottu | Shamoun: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 06:33 |
| CaptainTrek | Roasted: sounds like your internet hates you | 06:33 |

| bblum | Loshki: i'm not sure what i'm looking for in the output there...? | 06:34 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, if i press CD-ROM button by my hand then it open but can not read any CD | 06:34 |
| santisnight | oh hey captain. | 06:34 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: When you select Recovery Mode, you get the Root Shell at the sixth option. Just open that, and you get the Root Terminal. There, this command will do. | 06:34 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, may you can get your web browser to download it for you | 06:34 |

| Roasted | Im tempted to let my laptop run all night at "downloading and installing driver" to see if it gets into a better mood by the time I wake up | 06:35 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, search on google? and go to the manufacture web and download the deb? | 06:35 |
| Roasted | the deb? | 06:35 |
| Roasted | lol. you mean tar.gz? | 06:35 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, or that | 06:36 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 it is suggesting apt-get -f install to correct the dependencies | 06:36 |
| Roasted | yeah. no. | 06:36 |
| Roasted | the point is, THIS SHOULD WORK. | 06:36 |
| Roasted | IT HAS worked. Many times. Why its failing now I dont understand. | 06:36 |
| Roasted | RIGHT after I got done with a fresh install + all updates too. | 06:36 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: ok, I get it. You have "confused" your system. That can be "fixed" without restarting, but it's simply easier to reboot. After you insert a CD and the system *mounts* it, you *must* unmount it to avoid this problem. Do Not use the button to remove cds from your system. Use the triangle in your Places menu. | 06:36 |
| bp0 | will there ever be an x12 | 06:36 |
| Roasted | but its okay. lets just reinstall again. :) :) :) :) | 06:36 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat_laptop: I don't see anything related to my grub problem | 06:36 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, which package you are trying to download ? | 06:36 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Sure, then there are broken packages in your System. That command will remove them. | 06:36 |
| Loshki | bblum: see line 17? That says this app is using this library at run time: /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0. Is this the one you built? | 06:36 |
| Roasted | wildbat_laptop, broadcom-sta driver | 06:36 |
| wildbat_laptop | lyhana8, just reinstall the grub2 it should work | 06:37 |
| Roasted | wildbat_laptop, might jsut slap kubuntu 10.04 on here and give it a test drive. | 06:37 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, i did not understand: Use the triangle in your Places menu | 06:37 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, lol hit him hard for me XD | 06:37 |
| Roasted | wildbat_laptop, hit what.. | 06:37 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: wait a minute, I'll show you...brb | 06:37 |
| bblum | Loshki: Yes, but I tried reinstalling it with 'aptitude reinstall' - and I also copied a friend's libxcb-xlib and compared it to mine to make sure i had restored it properly | 06:38 |
| wildbat_laptop | Roasted, big hard slap ;p | 06:38 |

| wildbat | merischino, are you connected to a router? | 06:45 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Well, what about this: sudo apt-get purge fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev | 06:45 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: any resources for that? | 06:45 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: Not yet, sorry, :( | 06:45 |
| merischino_ | wildbat, yes, i have a netgear router, a comcast cable modem, and clearly the internet is working fine. | 06:45 |
| greezmunkey | dragon-eye: have you seen my last post? | 06:45 |
| uLinux | :) | 06:45 |
| merischino_ | the other pc i borrowed to get the fix install done, still recognizes all resources on the network. | 06:46 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, yeah | 06:46 |
| dragon-eye | greezmunkey, thanks | 06:46 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Then, enter: sudo aticonfig --initial | 06:46 |
| wildbat | merischino_, so the net is working ~ hmm no idea then | 06:47 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 aticonfig: command not found | 06:47 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Well, I believe the problem might be Ok now. Try seeing once, whether it starts or not. | 06:48 |
| greezmunkey | later... | 06:48 |
| merischino_ | there isn't like a necessary resource package that will for example recognize osx? or windows machines? because that other pc is still connected and running, too. (i am using the only monitor right now from the ubuntu machine) | 06:48 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 ok ty... one sec | 06:48 |
| merischino_ | the only network resources ubuntu is recognizing are the router and itself. | 06:48 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Sure. | 06:48 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 it still corrupted the graphics on the loading screen then rebooted | 06:49 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: I can manage with the manual setting for some time. Do you think and upgrade will solve this problem? | 06:49 |
| GeekSquid | Merischino sounds like DNS | 06:49 |
| clint- | Seveas: you around? | 06:49 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: My Mic works perfectly in 10.04. I believe, an Upgrade will surely settle the matter. | 06:50 |
| |corpse| | is there a bootable program that i can use to format a drive to ext3/4? | 06:50 |
| asktoby | I wanted to clone an 80G hd to a 500G hd, so I ran sudo dd if=/dev/sdf1 of=/dev/sdg1. 10 hours later and it's still going | 06:50 |
| asktoby | Is that normal? | 06:50 |
| clint- | I'm coming back to support and contrib to the ubuntu project | 06:50 |
| wildbat | |corpse|, the live CD can | 06:50 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: I see. Then, you might need to follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9062521&postcount=158 | 06:51 |
| _Anthony | |corspe|: gparted | 06:51 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: ok. let me first try with 9.10 | 06:51 |
| merischino_ | geeksquid, any recommendations for me? | 06:51 |
| clint- | now I'm not only working with ubuntu again, but mandriva as I started on drake, suse, fedora, and debian as well , along with the maintaining I do to win, and plus even Mac OS X lol | 06:51 |
| wildbat | |corpse|, or the alternate CD can boot to root shell where you can have fdisk | 06:51 |
| |corpse| | wildbat: im not able to load that, i somthing else >< | 06:51 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: Sure. | 06:51 |
| clint- | gee, you can't support enough systems eh.. oh I forgot, opensolaris too | 06:51 |
| _Anthony | |corpse|: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 06:51 |
| clint- | ubuntu really hits it off with hardware support, I will admit.. | 06:51 |
| |corpse| | wildbat: ahh that may be the ticket | 06:51 |
| heroid | how do i reset the gnome panel to default? | 06:51 |
| clint- | and the community* | 06:51 |
| alonea | hey, what is a good program for doing video chat? Like with aim or something? | 06:51 |
| clint- | hows everyone? | 06:52 |
| umashanthi | rocket16: thanks for the support | 06:52 |
| joppan | i have wriiten script to shutdown and rebbot the system when i run in terminal it prompts me for my logged in user password ..i want to shutodwn without the script prompting me for passowrd | 06:52 |
| rocket16 | umashanthi: M pleasure, You are most welcome, | 06:52 |
| _Anthony | wildbat: they have a gparted live cd lol. | 06:52 |
| wildbat | asktoby, you missing the bs= so it is moving 1 byte at a time | 06:52 |
| heroid | i need the script to reset the gnome panel | 06:52 |
| GeekSquid | merischino_: set dns to google 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 | 06:52 |
| clint- | you know whats weird though | 06:52 |
| rocket16 | joppan: chroot the file, | 06:52 |
| wildbat | _Anthony, he can't boot it | 06:52 |
| clint- | on breezy badger, I'm not sure if this is on LTS 6.06, thats where I stopped I think,I started on hedgehog | 06:53 |
| clint- | in 2005 | 06:53 |
| clint- | if you run this sudo su - | 06:53 |
| clint- | it should drop you to root | 06:53 |
| _Anthony | i thought he was saying he can't boot the ubuntu live cd. | 06:53 |
| clint- | did they fix that in the new builds? | 06:53 |
| bblum | Loshki, tried that and I also tried the other recommended command; neither worked | 06:53 |
| ectospasm | I'm trying to backup my home directory (~200GB) to my 1TB external HD, and no matter what I use to start the transfer (nautilus or rsync), somewhere in the process my machine hard locks, forcing a power cycle. I don't notice anything in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog, and I don't think machine is having CPU or memory problems (mprime ran on this rig for a week straight with no issues). Anyone | 06:53 |
| bblum | Loshki: Do you have any other ideas? | 06:53 |
| ectospasm | know how I could track this down? | 06:53 |
| bblum | like, "it's not a caceh problem" | 06:53 |
| asktoby | wildbat: lol, pretty inefficient, I guess. Worth restarting after 10 hours or shall I just wait? | 06:53 |
| merischino_ | how do i set dns in ubuntu? | 06:53 |
| rocket16 | joppan: Also, for shutdown from Terminal, you need Root rights, for security. You can use sudo command to do that, or use chroot to do it, | 06:53 |
| _Anthony | merishino_ are you using dhclient? | 06:53 |
| clint- | wow I can tell you all need help here eh | 06:53 |
| heroid | nvm i found it | 06:53 |
| GeekSquid | !dapper | clint- | 06:54 |
| ubottu | clint-: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions | 06:54 |
| clint- | hehe ;) | 06:54 |
| wildbat | asktoby, ya ~ 80GB can be done in 1-2 hr | 06:54 |
| clint- | I started on hedgehog before I got into debian sarge in 2005 | 06:54 |
| clint- | but I also work with others* | 06:54 |
| Loshki | bblum: can you paste the output of a command when it fails? | 06:54 |
| merischino_ | anthony, i do not know. if you mean for irc, so. i'm here right now using xchat i believe. | 06:54 |
| bblum | Loshki: sure | 06:54 |
| bblum | Loshki: urxvt: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0: undefined symbol: _xcb_lock_io | 06:55 |
| clint- | ubuntu I feel is really good for my business though, geared towards certain users, where as, suse has the security by far, even over mandriva, and fedora, | 06:55 |
| clint- | imho | 06:55 |
| merischino_ | anthony: for reference, i just installed ubuntu today. so i don't know my way around it at all.... | 06:55 |
| bblum | Loshki: I've reinstalled both urxvt and libxcb | 06:55 |
| clint- | just the conifguration, you got to do to some of these distros, writing custom xorg configs etc.. and other tweaks | 06:55 |
| asktoby | wildbat: Can I choose any byte size? How about 100? | 06:55 |
| bblum | again, and triple-checked to make sure the library has the symbol | 06:55 |
| ausnomer | how do you do "5. Opened synaptics, ad installed fglrx(it will reinstall dkms,and amdcccle) from the command line? | 06:55 |
| clint- | yeah thats right GeekSquid , dapper | 06:55 |
| _Anthony | merischino_ then you probably are so just type "sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" in the terminal | 06:56 |
| wildbat | asktoby, 512 , 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k, pick one ;p | 06:56 |
| wildbat | asktoby, 16k are good for most drives | 06:56 |
| clint- | lol Geeks | 06:57 |
| Andorin | shred is great, but apparently it only works on files. Is there a similar utility that will erase a directory and its contents? If not, is there a way to point shred towards a directory and have it wipe all files in that directory? I checked the man page but didn't see a recursive deletion option. | 06:57 |
| _Anthony | merischino_ then find the "#prepend domain-name-servers" line and uncomment it, then change the 127.0.0.1 to whatever dns server you want | 06:57 |
| _Anthony | then type "dhclient" in the terminal | 06:57 |
| _Anthony | and voila. | 06:57 |
| Loshki | bblum: sorry, I'm out of ideas... | 06:57 |
| _Anthony | unless you are using a static address, in which case those instructions wouldn't apply to you and i don't remember how to do it | 06:58 |
| bblum | all i can think is, this would be much easier with gentoo | 06:58 |
| clint- | lol | 06:58 |
| Loshki | asktoby: dd isn't a good way to go anyway. If you use rsync to do the copy instead, you can not only watch the progress, but the copy will be restartable if necessary... | 06:58 |
| FullFlannelJacke | Andorin: You can delete the files like normal then use secure-delete to erase the free space on the hard drive | 06:58 |
| sunson | I have a box whose eth0 used to be detected and worked well on ubuntu 32-bit. Its install was lost and now the installer doesn't detect the eth. Also, lspci doesn't list anything. Note that this is a onboard eth card. | 06:58 |
| sunson | any help appreciated | 06:59 |
| Andorin | FullFlannelJacke: Is that a package or an option to a command? | 06:59 |
| rocket16 | ?? | 06:59 |
| FullFlannelJacke | Andorin: package.. sudo apt-get install secure-delete | 06:59 |
| clint- | too much traffic here lol | 07:00 |
| merischino_ | _Anthony ok so stupid n00b question. "uncomment it" just means, take the pound sign off the front of that statement? | 07:00 |
| FullFlannelJacke | there might be a way to delete recursively, but I am not sure off hand. | 07:00 |
| Andorin | FullFlannelJacke: Thank you =) | 07:00 |
| _Anthony | merischino_: yes | 07:00 |
| FullFlannelJacke | the package comes with various utilities, so read the man pages of them | 07:00 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: I reinstall grub2, so I got the grub menu but then got an error related to glib. And after rebooting same problem again | 07:00 |
| rocket16 | clint-: Lol, :D Isn't this good? Ubuntu is getting more and more popular, :) | 07:00 |
| clint- | yeah I know | 07:00 |
| _Anthony | im still using LILO | 07:00 |
| _Anthony | who needs grub | 07:01 |
| ausnomer | ok I'm really lost with my ATI graphics card. Can someone please help me :( | 07:01 |
| clint- | I knew it would | 07:01 |
| rocket16 | _Anthony: I need, :D | 07:01 |
| asktoby | Loshki: It's a weird filesystem that linux doesn't know so I want to do it blind | 07:01 |
| bblum | Loshki, thanks for the help | 07:01 |
| _Anthony | ausnomer: whats wrong with it? | 07:01 |
| merischino_ | anthony, typing dhclient in the terminal gave me a whole lot of no: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases: Permission denied | 07:01 |
| merischino_ | SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied | 07:01 |
| merischino_ | SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied | 07:01 |
| merischino_ | SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied | 07:01 |
| merischino_ | Open a socket for LPF: Operation not permitted | 07:01 |
| FloodBot4 | merischino_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:01 |
| _Anthony | merischino_: you have to do "sudo dhclient" because it accesses root only files | 07:01 |
| clint- | heck I work with and run 4 distros | 07:02 |
| vilemaxim | _Anthony, lilo is limited interaction | 07:02 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, hmmmm you may want a disk surface test | 07:02 |
| clint- | at 1 time I was running 6, not counting the virtual machines, and maintenance on windows.. | 07:02 |
| _Anthony | clint- im working with 5 | 07:02 |
| merischino_ | thank you. that worked. | 07:02 |
| ausnomer | _Anthony it corrupts on the ubuntu loading logo then reboots the computer. rocket16 helped me remove some ati packages but I don't know if it's all gone and I don't know how or what I need to do to reinstall the graphics drivers | 07:02 |
| clint- | I really don't even care to run win, as I work on it a lot for accounts, | 07:02 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: how do I do that ? It's a new computer :/ | 07:02 |
| clint- | _Anthony: I believe you | 07:02 |
| clint- | I narrowed things down a lot | 07:02 |
| _Anthony | i still ahve an OLD red hat 5 box | 07:02 |
| ausnomer | _Anthony I have an ATI RV770 HD 4650, running ubuntu 10.04 | 07:03 |
| ionix | Hey guys, do you know how to make the GRUB in netboot output the menu to the serial console? | 07:03 |
| merischino_ | actually, it asked me for some semicolons in places i wouldn't hve put them, but at least it ran without yelling at me.... | 07:03 |
| ionix | I have made a label that shows the installation to the serial port but I need to see the actual menu as well | 07:03 |
| _Anthony | ausnomer: just apply the restricted drivers | 07:03 |
| _Anthony | i forget how | 07:03 |
| clint- | mandriva/suse/fedora/ and now I'm seeing where it wouldn't be a bad idea to support ubuntu again | 07:03 |
| clint- | I'm really focused with security, network security, performance, etc.. | 07:03 |
| ausnomer | Does anyone know how to set your graphics drivers to the restricted drivers from the terminal? | 07:03 |
| clint- | hardware support as well, ramdisk, mounting to ram, etc | 07:04 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: jocker-text | 07:04 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Well, you need to use the ATI modules there. Didn't that command work, I mean: sudo apt-get purge fglrx-modaliases fglrx-amdcccle fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx-dev | 07:04 |
| clint- | I havn't really got into package supplying yet | 07:04 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 nope | 07:04 |
| Dmstrdj | clint; why not backtrack then | 07:04 |
| clint- | yeah I use bt too | 07:04 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: sorry : jockey-text | 07:04 |
| clint- | and trinity | 07:04 |
| merischino_ | ok, anthony. what if i am using static addresses, behind my router? I think i am, actually. | 07:04 |
| clint- | forgot to mention the forensic pen distros, | 07:04 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: I see, :( I believe, Internet isn't accessible there through that machine, isn't it? | 07:04 |
| clint- | used phlak way back | 07:05 |
| clint- | it just lost support is all | 07:05 |
| _Anthony | merischino_: i dont remember you'd have to ask someone else sorry | 07:05 |
| merischino_ | (trying to ping my mac's ip made me think of that. and, it doesn't ping, period.) | 07:05 |
| Dmstrdj | right | 07:05 |
| clint- | Dmstrdj: , so yeah | 07:05 |
| clint- | I forgot to mention those | 07:05 |
| clint- | but really what I would like to do honestly | 07:05 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 yes, internet is working on that machine. Just no GUI, only recovery console. | 07:05 |
| clint- | is drop support with, mdv, and fedora, and just support, suse and ubuntu | 07:05 |
| Dmstrdj | not bad choices | 07:06 |
| clint- | I got a sonicwall TZ 170 SP that I havn't even unboxed yet | 07:06 |
| clint- | yeah yeah, I know I could setup a pfsense or a smoothwall box, however, I just don't have time for that.. | 07:06 |
| Dmstrdj | cool | 07:06 |
| ausnomer | lyhana8 it ran, I rebooted, still got the graphics corruption on the logo and it got to the desktop then rebooted | 07:06 |
| clint- | with the sonicwall I can block IP/IP ranges, subnets, mac addy's, hostnames, all ports are blocked by default, | 07:06 |
| Dmstrdj | hmmm... had not thought of that really | 07:07 |
| clint- | and I have a very high level of understanding of TCP/IP, I would say not bad, internet traffic , where its coming from, network security audits, focused on system behavor, like tomoyo linux, selinux,MAC, security policies, firewalls etc | 07:07 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: what is your card ? ATI ? | 07:07 |
| clint- | paranoid user you could say | 07:07 |
| Dmstrdj | lol | 07:07 |
| clint- | :) | 07:07 |
| merischino_ | ok, with traceroute my mac shows up along with its network name. my other pc shows up, but without its network name. how do i go and make those volumes mount on my desktop, now that they can be seen? | 07:07 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: is it supported by the prop driver ? | 07:08 |
| clint- | so, I plan on seeing how the new ubuntu release is and go from there | 07:08 |
| ausnomer | lyhana8 ATI HD 4650 | 07:08 |
| Dmstrdj | me too a lil bit lol | 07:08 |
| clint- | been mastering iptables | 07:08 |
| clint- | etc | 07:08 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: is it supported ? see on ATI web site | 07:08 |
| ausnomer | lyhana8 it used to be in 9.04 before I upgraded. that's what's caused this problem I think, upgrading to 10.04 | 07:08 |
| Dmstrdj | using it on 3 pcs and a netbook, i luv it | 07:08 |
| clint- | I can source compile | 07:08 |
| clint- | and the list just keeps going | 07:08 |
| lyhana8 | ausnomer: you can try to look at the /var/log/Xorg.log | 07:09 |
| clint- | I wouldn't even mine putting together a custom suse/ubuntu/mandriva/fedora running on btrfs , and even on some patriot extreme usb keys | 07:09 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: What about this command: sudo apt-get install fglrx && sudo aticonfig --initial | 07:09 |
| clint- | however, I think with all the fedora selinux bugs :P | 07:09 |
| clint- | been working on mdv ' security big time, and really.. it lacks.. | 07:09 |
| mneptok | !offtopic | clint- | 07:09 |
| ubottu | clint-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 07:09 |
| clint- | pretty sad when you have to add ccs-audit , tomoyo linux and stuff | 07:09 |
| edakiri | clint-: mdv is? | 07:10 |
| mneptok | clint-: your discussion is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:10 |
| clint- | np | 07:10 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 tons of errors | 07:10 |
| clint- | really excited to see the comminty has really grown | 07:10 |
| Dmstrdj | me too] | 07:10 |
| clint- | tell me this though | 07:10 |
| clint- | can you still open a term, and issue this command and become root | 07:10 |
| clint- | bash# sudo su - | 07:11 |
| clint- | if so that still is a security concern with me | 07:11 |
| clint- | I can change it, but I'm just saying | 07:11 |
| merischino_ | ok. maybe an easier question? i downloaded p7zip_9.04 and unzipped it to my desktop. i have run the install script, however i can't see where i can access it using the gui. do programs not, as a rule, become accessible via the gui? | 07:12 |
| clint- | and I'm talking about ubuntu | 07:12 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, with live cd badblocks -n -s /dev/sda | 07:12 |
| ausnomer | how could a distro upgrade screw up the graphics drivers configuration so much, and how come it is so hard to fix? Isn't there are 'reset' recovery type button to go back to default graphics drivers and get into x-windows to fix the problem? | 07:12 |
| merischino_ | (not a programmer. picked ubuntu because it was supposed to be EASY for beginners) | 07:12 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: I see. I believe Ubuntu Lucid has a new type of ATI installer, which is available here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/fglrx-installer/2:8.721-0ubuntu1 You can use the wget command to download them. Still, I am not sure whether this will work or not, :( | 07:12 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 can I just get into x-windows some other way so I can fix all this with a gui? | 07:13 |
| Dmstrdj | well yea clint it does still | 07:13 |
| clint- | ausnomer: , it could change xorg maybe | 07:13 |
| clint- | you should always make backups of your xorg.. | 07:13 |
| clint- | :) | 07:13 |
| clint- | and its good to know how to work in runlevel 3 | 07:13 |
| ausnomer | clint- isn't there a default option? | 07:13 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, or badblocks -s /dev/sda BUT it will to write test so data LOST be care. | 07:13 |
| clint- | put it like this, no matter how you look at it, its good to learn and study the command line, and be able to work out of X in runlevel 3, and others etc | 07:14 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: what do you mean ? where will it write ? | 07:14 |
| ausnomer | if you uninstall the graphics driver in windows it still loads at 800x600 so you can get into windows and fix any problems... | 07:14 |
| ausnomer | can't ubuntu do something like that? | 07:14 |
| clint- | let me finish eating, I try to help you :P | 07:14 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, the whole HD | 07:14 |
| clint- | I write xorg configs, for displays that don't detect right | 07:15 |
| clint- | on suse | 07:15 |
| clint- | I know its offtopic , but I will help you with your ubuntu sys | 07:15 |
| Loshki | clint-: for a living, or for fun? | 07:15 |
| clint- | for my job | 07:15 |
| tarzeau | why does gdm sometimes show the ubuntu logo in orange sometimes, and sometimes a screen with a keyboard depicting a computer? | 07:15 |
| clint- | my business | 07:15 |
| tarzeau | is one better than the other, or is one wrong? | 07:15 |
| clint- | not all my accounts, clients, businesses, run the same linux system | 07:15 |
| ausnomer | clint- tyvm | 07:15 |
| clint- | hello Loshki | 07:16 |
| clint- | and I wouldn't call it fun :) | 07:16 |
| tarzeau | clint-: what business do you run? | 07:16 |
| Loshki | clint-: that's a great skill to have though, in short supply round here... | 07:16 |
| clint- | well I really see things going the ubuntu way | 07:16 |
| clint- | and I want to offer any paranoid security firewall help, to ubuntu, and security enhancements, hardware help, etc | 07:16 |
| Loshki | clint-: plenty of people in this channel need xorg config help, stick around... | 07:17 |
| clint- | I really seen things going the ubuntu way back when I tried it in 2005 | 07:17 |
| tarzeau | clint-: got a webpage presenting what you all offer? | 07:17 |
| Dmstrdj | i like the sound of that | 07:17 |
| clint- | not yet tar | 07:17 |
| clint- | studying php/ajax | 07:17 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: er... not good, what about the win7, that's my work pc ~.~ | 07:17 |
| clint- | but I do have a craigslist ad, for peoria, IL in the services , computer | 07:17 |
| merischino_ | anyone? if i download an ubuntu friendly software package and install it outside of the download center, does it not ever appear anywhere i can find it/click it/select it from a menu? | 07:17 |
| tarzeau | clint-: i've seen people move to google chrome or chromium at least, but far away from firefox | 07:17 |
| clint- | revising it though, I was laid off from a CAT company tar- | 07:17 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, just do read test then | 07:17 |
| tarzeau | i wonder why lucid didn't replace firefox with chromium | 07:17 |
| clint- | opera is more secure then both | 07:17 |
| tarzeau | opera is not open source | 07:18 |
| clint- | but the cyphering takes too long | 07:18 |
| ausnomer | hmmmm should I do http://john-willis.com/2010/01/remove-and-reinstall-xserver-on-ubuntu-9-10/ | 07:18 |
| clint- | thats why it has to be changed | 07:18 |
| clint- | yes I know | 07:18 |
| tarzeau | and i don't like opera, at all | 07:18 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 07:18 |
| tarzeau | ausnomer: to achive what? | 07:18 |
| clint- | because of the support for sites and how it analyzes pages | 07:18 |
| clint- | I think iceweasel blows them all for speed :) | 07:18 |
| clint- | not to even get into links :) | 07:19 |
| tarzeau | come on. please. that's even worse | 07:19 |
| clint- | oh the gentoo days.. ;P | 07:19 |
| ausnomer | tarzeau reset all my graphics drivers and run some sort of configuration | 07:19 |
| clint- | I'm going finish eating lol | 07:19 |
| tarzeau | ausnomer: removing a package, doesn't always get rid of all of the settings done | 07:19 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: I think, this will help you to get into a GUI: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 07:19 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 didn't do anything, but no error message. Now what? | 07:19 |
| tarzeau | ausnomer: for example configuration files outside the system ones, in your home, and debconf settings neither | 07:19 |
| clint- | and tarzeau , creative tech | 07:19 |
| tarzeau | ausnomer: so removing/reinstalling a package won't help, i guess | 07:19 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Now, restart and see, whether it works or not. | 07:19 |
| ausnomer | rocket16 ok, ty one sec | 07:20 |
| rocket16 | ausnomer: Sure, | 07:20 |
| tarzeau | clint-: i'm doing webstuff, photography and print media | 07:20 |
| vega | is "atd" really used for something nowadays? | 07:20 |
| tarzeau | clint-: and believe me, i hate the web stuff most | 07:20 |
| tarzeau | vega: it can be, i know people using it | 07:20 |
| clint- | thats cool bud | 07:20 |
| tarzeau | vega: personally i never do | 07:20 |
| vega | tarzeau: but in a default lucid install, it seems to be running for some reason | 07:20 |
| clint- | even though I'm studying php/ajax | 07:20 |
| tarzeau | vega: yes, it's standard unix stuff | 07:21 |
| clint- | not sure if I will really take the time to fullfill it | 07:21 |
| tarzeau | vega: you can get rid of it, and MAYBE some things won't work | 07:21 |
| tarzeau | vega: you'll figure, i guess :) | 07:21 |
| clint- | I"m really into the reverse engineering of how things work | 07:21 |
| ausnomer | ausnomer still corrupting and then rebooting :( | 07:21 |
| clint- | and operate | 07:21 |
| Loshki | vega: if you don't plan to use the 'at' command, I don't think you need atd... | 07:21 |
| clint- | security, and paranoid security at that | 07:21 |
| vega | tarzeau: yes i know, i'm just questioning the existence of it... | 07:21 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: how ? | 07:21 |
| clint- | I got a sonicwall TZ 170 SP in the box I havn't evne opened | 07:21 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, badblocks -n -s /dev/sda | 07:21 |
| clint- | been doing research on networks that have been spamming tons of networks, I submit data to US-CERT weekly basis | 07:21 |
| tarzeau | vega: i'm questioning the existence of GNOME | 07:22 |
| clint- | china backbones, ntt open computer network japan, Russia, Col, it just keeps going on and on tarzeau | 07:22 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: got this : `/dev/sda is apparently in use by the system;` | 07:22 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, with live cd | 07:22 |
| clint- | pretty sad really | 07:22 |
| tarzeau | gnome just did the same wrong things, others done before. that's a pity, especially this gconf horror | 07:22 |
| lyhana8 | but mount |grep sda show nothing about sda being mounted | 07:22 |
| vega | tarzeau: well yeah.. there's a lot of stuff to question :) | 07:22 |
| clint- | security is important | 07:22 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: yep | 07:22 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, umount it | 07:22 |
| clint- | in my book that is, its no#1 | 07:22 |
| tarzeau | vega: i wish de icaza did gardening instead of computing | 07:22 |
| tarzeau | vega: and people would've developped gnustep | 07:23 |
| vega | "dpkg --purge at" results in "ubuntu-standard depends on at.", does not want to be removed | 07:23 |
| clint- | I rem a video mark shuttleworth was in and stated | 07:23 |
| tarzeau | vega: then we'd have no configuration mess, but something pretty much like nextstep/openstep, or mac os x (although i don't like this one that much) | 07:23 |
| clint- | when you try to do too many things at once, things just fail | 07:23 |
| clint- | so maybe I might not even get into the whole php/ajax thing | 07:23 |
| clint- | and leave it to the web developers.. | 07:23 |
| clint- | I already know some.. so.. | 07:23 |
| clint- | know what I mean tarzeau | 07:24 |
| ausnomer | could someone please connect to my machine and try and fix it? | 07:24 |
| tarzeau | clint-: yes. i don't touch php neither | 07:24 |
| clint- | you know teamviewer is available for linux now | 07:24 |
| tarzeau | ausnomer: sure, root password please? | 07:24 |
| clint- | I sent them a nice statement letter months back | 07:24 |
| clint- | maybe it was 6 mos ago | 07:24 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: it's not mounted. | 07:24 |
| clint- | they replied, were already working on a version for linux :) | 07:24 |
| Loshki | wildbat: is badblocks even worth running nowadays. I thought modern disk drives managed their own bad sector reallocation. If you can still see bad disk blocks, your disk is already suspect... | 07:24 |
| clint- | tar-: | 07:25 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: do I need to specify a partition ? Cause the command you gave me is for the whole disk | 07:25 |
| clint- | you don't even have to ssh him | 07:25 |
| tarzeau | Loshki: yes it is, if you ask me | 07:25 |
| trapmax | problem with mrtg: i use "ssh -t user@host 'sudo command'" in my script to get hd-temp in variable. the script itself works from cli, but when i use it in mrtg as "Target[]: `/path/to/script` it doesn't work. | 07:25 |
| clint- | just have him dl teamviewer for linux | 07:25 |
| vega | oh well, next question: tried editing /etc/default/console/setup ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-2]" but i still get 6 gettys | 07:25 |
| tarzeau | Loshki: sometimes it takes some time for the bad sectors to disappear, and we use the vendor disk checking tool | 07:25 |
| tarzeau | Loshki: but sometimes it's just nice to figure WHERE the read error is | 07:26 |
| DannyButterman | Hi there | 07:26 |
| tarzeau | Loshki: and IF there is one | 07:26 |
| clint- | and Loshki , np,glad to help | 07:26 |
| wildbat | Loshki, lyhana8 restored grub and boot with error with glib, the system back to grub> again any idea? | 07:26 |
| clint- | the Xserver is a critical thing in todays world :) | 07:26 |
| clint- | as far as the linux/unix world goes ;) | 07:26 |
| tarzeau | clint-: i can work fine without X | 07:26 |
| DannyButterman | Any idea why I can't use the 3D Cube effect ? | 07:27 |
| clint- | tarzeau: , I can as well | 07:27 |
| tarzeau | DannyButterman: can you run any opengl software? | 07:27 |
| clint- | I have telinit 3 on my kernel line | 07:27 |
| lyhana8 | DannyButterman: did you enable the feature ? | 07:27 |
| tarzeau | clint-: your 3 favourite command line tools? | 07:27 |
| clint- | sometimes I take it off though ;) | 07:27 |
| tarzeau | i have init=/bin/zsh | 07:27 |
| lyhana8 | DannyButterman: check the shortcut on the compiz config | 07:27 |
| wildbat | Loshki, lyhana8 restored grub and boot with error with glib,(and reboot again,) the system back to grub> again any idea? | 07:27 |
| clint- | well you might be more advanced at command line then me | 07:28 |
| clint- | who knows | 07:28 |
| Loshki | tarzeau: Well, I've certainly had bad disk blocks that wouldn't disappear *until* I ran the vendor's long disk check (seagate. Not what they used to be)... | 07:28 |
| DannyButterman | tarzeau : yes 3d effects are enabled, nvidia drivers | 07:28 |
| tarzeau | dunno, i use rl, mc, gnu screen, zsh and many other things | 07:28 |
| clint- | I know about the shells though | 07:28 |
| ravionrails | my system is interpid , and i have two firefox installed , i want to know where is my new firefox installed , when i open link from xchat it opened on new version firefox | 07:28 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: What keybinding are you trying? | 07:28 |
| clint- | ksh, bash, zsh which dang it, thats a unix shell eh | 07:28 |
| tarzeau | Loshki: indeed, i think i had that too, thus i don't remember when i used badblocks last time | 07:28 |
| DannyButterman | lyhana8: the feature is enabled. I have several effects active but this one won't work | 07:28 |
| tarzeau | DannyButterman: and you CAN start brutalchess, sauerbraten, glxgears or something like it? | 07:29 |
| clint- | tarzeau: I'm used to bash mainly :) | 07:29 |
| tarzeau | DannyButterman: and the software starts, and renders 3d stuff, FAST? | 07:29 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: default keybinding : ctl+alt+left button | 07:29 |
| lyhana8 | DannyButterman: are you sure about the shorcut/way to start this effect ? Did the cylender work ? | 07:29 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| Loshki | wildbat: an error with glib? That's unusual. As for back to the grub prompt, that's usually a bad grub config. grub-install does get it wrong occasionally... | 07:29 |
| clint- | Audible: | 07:29 |
| clint- | ausnomer: | 07:29 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Do you have Rotate Cube enabled? (not just desktop cube) | 07:29 |
| DannyButterman | tarzeau: yes, absolutely | 07:29 |
| tarzeau | clint-: i hit some bash bugs when it got to version 3.x or late 2, and missed some features, that zsh was better with | 07:29 |
| clint- | it probably has moved your xorg.conf to xorg.conf.odl | 07:29 |
| clint- | xorg.conf.old or something | 07:29 |
| tarzeau | clint-: my .zshrc makes zsh look like bash: export PS1='%n@%m:%~%(!.#.$) ' | 07:30 |
| clint- | let me eat dangit and I'll pitch in | 07:30 |
| clint- | ah | 07:30 |
| Loshki | clint-: stop typing and eat... | 07:30 |
| DannyButterman | tarzeau: yes, it's really fast. not software rendered if that's what you mean | 07:30 |
| tarzeau | DannyButterman: then it's just some gnome/compiz setting for the 3d cube thing | 07:30 |
| wildbat | Loshki, from grub> ~ i have him reinstall the grub and it boot to the error then reboot back to grub> ~ so i think the disk is failing | 07:31 |
| DannyButterman | lyhana8 : yes, I'm sure of the keybinding, as long as it's the same as displayed in compiz setting manager | 07:31 |
| lyhana8 | DannyButterman: ok, I just check for the newbie error here. Never hear about this kind of issue :/ | 07:32 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: yes, just checked, rotate cube enabled | 07:32 |
| ausnomer | I found a low graphics mode in the recovery menu and it came up with a window saying "The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this. (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) | 07:32 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Have you tried restarting compiz? | 07:32 |
| tarzeau | clint-: and i really like imageindex and file (the commands) | 07:32 |
| Loshki | wildbat: I would check the grub config first... | 07:32 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: I've tried restarted the pc, which amounts to the same isn't it ? | 07:32 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: yes | 07:33 |
| nigtv | hello, I had backed up my entire / with rsync, and now I want to restore it onto a blank harddrive, however i keep running into problems | 07:33 |
| nigtv | Mainly i run into problems with grub saying it cant read C/H/S | 07:33 |
| Loshki | nigtv: what kind of problems? | 07:33 |
| vega | just clocked boot speed on dell e6500 (dualcore, 4gb ram), 40 sec from grub to login screen... not very good :I | 07:33 |
| vega | + 10 sec gnome startup after typing password | 07:34 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: It should be working then. Can you pastebin the output of ps ax|grep compiz|grep -v grep && dpkg -l|grep compiz ? | 07:34 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, Loshki said check grub config first ~ so /mount the drive and go into the boot/grub/ see if you can locate grub.cfg | 07:34 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: at once, hang on 2 sec | 07:34 |
| lyhana8 | Loshki: what do you mean ? What am i looking for ? wildbat | 07:34 |
| nigtv | I had installed ubuntu back onto the drive, with ext3, same file system, then just rsynced my original / over that | 07:34 |
| Loshki | nigtv: try a grub reinstall. The original grub may not be valid if the disk geometry is different to the original.. | 07:34 |
| aaron11 | ##windows | 07:34 |
| nigtv | Loshki: I have, in the live cd install | 07:35 |
| alonea | anyone know how to do video in kopete? | 07:35 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: http://pastebin.com/gyQzc6bf | 07:35 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: depend of the protocol you use | 07:35 |
| nigtv | I'm trying to install it again, onto the drive with / restored, but it says its going to overwrite system files, so who knows, I just want to restore / but I'm not sure how | 07:36 |
| lyhana8 | some support other don't alonea | 07:36 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: You are running 9.10? | 07:36 |
| nigtv | I tried also to format the harddrive to ext3 using the live cd, and then rsyncing my / onto it, but that gives the same grub Cant read C/H/S problem | 07:36 |
| alonea | it says it supports yahoo and msn for webcam. under configure my webcam shows up and I see myself, but I dont see a way to start a video convo anywhere at all | 07:36 |
| DannyButterman | soreau : 9.04 | 07:36 |
| soreau | oh. :p | 07:36 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: if my / partition is /dev/sda5 is this right: set root='(hd0,5)' ? | 07:36 |
| === Prodego_ is now known as Prodego | ||
| alonea | lyhana8: there isn't any webcam icon anywhere. trying msn protocol | 07:37 |
| nigtv | You would think that grub not being able to read C/H/ | 07:37 |
| Surlent777 | hey guys; I seem to have found the cause of my Lucid randomly stalling at boot: /dev/shm is not being mounted every time, causing it to drop to a shell in the background, inaccessible without removing splash and quiet from GRUB. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? | 07:37 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: did you search on youtube or google for an howto ? | 07:37 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, you have the file ? can yu pastebin it ? | 07:37 |
| nigtv | You would think that grub not being able to read C/H/S would have something to do with the bios settings, however the issue goes away if I just reinstall and boot, in only comes back when I rsync my backup over, so maybe there is something im missing? | 07:38 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, yes should be btw. | 07:38 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Try Reset to Defaults in ccsm>Preferences to reset all settings (after Exporting them to save them) then re-enable rotate try it | 07:38 |
| alonea | lyhana8: yeah, I went through the documentation on their site and tried asking in their IRC with no luck. People say something about a webcam icon that I don't see | 07:38 |
| Loshki | nigtv: almost all of the config is in files in /etc. You could try doing a from-scratch install to the new disk, and if that boots ok, just restore /etc... | 07:38 |
| lyhana8 | http://pastebin.com/nqjVTrfm Loshki wildbat | 07:39 |
| Loshki | lyhana8: sda5 would be (hd0,4) as grub counts from zero... | 07:39 |
| nigtv | Loshki: well I want my home directory and programs also, are you saying do that after i do /etc if it works? | 07:39 |
| lyhana8 | Loshki: yeah that what I thought | 07:39 |
| Loshki | nigtv: yes, once it's working, you can restore pretty much anything you like. Most people keep /home on a separate partition so that it's unaffected by upgrades... | 07:40 |
| clint- | alright, | 07:40 |
| clint- | I'm not going to stay up too late, but here it goes | 07:40 |
| wildbat | Loshki, isn't grub2 changed it ? | 07:40 |
| clint- | was a long day, so I'm taking a chill.. | 07:41 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: do you have a web cam ? is it working (see on the settings) ? | 07:41 |
| nigtv | I have it all under one partition, other than the swap of course. | 07:41 |
| clint- | is that user still here.. ausman or whatever | 07:41 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: just done that. It didn't ask me anything when I clicked on reset to default. Sounds strange. Shouldn't I got a confirmation message ? Anyway, nothing has changed. still no 3d cube. | 07:42 |
| nigtv | I would just restore my home dir but I want all of my programs, I just want to have that copy of my original / be bootable | 07:42 |
| clint- | and tarzeau I read what you said, but Loshki was like eat :P | 07:42 |
| alonea | lyhana8: yes, and under configure I can see myself. | 07:42 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| nigtv | no clue where the C/H/S errors are coming from | 07:42 |
| clint- | eating is more important :) | 07:42 |
| clint- | I barely eat anything these days.. been on strict diet | 07:42 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, are you chatting on that machine? | 07:42 |
| Loshki | wildbat: I don't think the numbering scheme changed in grub2. The config still refers to hd0. It would be awful to have some parts count from zero, and some from one. Of course, looking at the version numbering for grub, you have to wonder if the developers aren't completely insane... | 07:42 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: from that machine yeah | 07:42 |
| clint- | first off, I havn't gotten the latest ubuntu yet, so let me get it, and burn it | 07:42 |
| clint- | I' run and work with mandriva/suse, and pretty much dropping suppot on fedora | 07:43 |
| nigtv | Loshki: I think it would be assumed but I am using grub2, not grub | 07:43 |
| clint- | so.. looks like, ubuntu/suse is what I'll be merging things to | 07:43 |
| clint- | Loshki: who all you dealing with eH? | 07:43 |
| Loshki | clint-: dealing with? | 07:43 |
| clint- | people your helping | 07:43 |
| clint- | is that user still here, ? | 07:44 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: try to look at those video : http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=kopete+video&aq=f | 07:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | Hi, I have a failed package install (an external .deb package downloaded from the net).. How do I uninstall it? | 07:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | apt fails due to dpkg errors | 07:44 |
| Captain_Haddock | dpkg: error processing crossplatformui (--remove): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 07:44 |
| clint- | hows dependency issues been with ubuntu's progress Loshki | 07:45 |
| clint- | 1 of the reasons why I left debian, and ubuntu etc, and security issues.. | 07:45 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: After reset to defaults, you have to re-enable everything (just rotate cube plugin to test) | 07:45 |
| clint- | but I can change the security issues, dependencies.. eh | 07:45 |
| Captain_Haddock | sudo dpkg --purge --force-all also fails for the same reason | 07:45 |
| clint- | -_- | 07:45 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: In any event, if its some bug its probably fixed in later versions of compiz | 07:45 |
| * clint- doesn't feel like hassling with that again :P | 07:45 | |
| clint- | Loshki: ? | 07:46 |
| hateball | Where do the weather/time applet get it's weather from, and how can I add another source? Like the city I'm in is not available to choose | 07:46 |
| Loshki | nigtv: well clearly, something in your restore is upsetting grub. If we knew what it was, we could maybe fix it, but since we don't, the procedure I discussed above should get you booting and let you restore most of what you need.. | 07:46 |
| wildbat | Loshki, coz i think i read somewhere that mention that and my auto grub.cfg set (0,1) on sda1 | 07:46 |
| Loshki | clint-: uh, we don't chat here, chat goes on #ubuntu-offtopic. Here it's mostly support questions and answers, ok? | 07:47 |
| Loshki | wildbat: well, try it one way, and if that doesn't work, try it the other... | 07:47 |
| alonea | lyhana8: most of those are not in english or have anything to do with it, so think thats out. maybe wait till morning for the IRC people to wake up | 07:47 |
| clint- | and I'm asking about the dependencies | 07:47 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, see if you can boot the machine and in grub> load the configfile (0.5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:47 |
| clint- | are things better now? | 07:47 |
| clint- | I'm just curious man | 07:48 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: you don;t care it's not english, watch if they start a video chat and reproduce | 07:48 |
| wildbat | Loshki, thou he have the grub.cfg but boot to grub > | 07:48 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: other learn another language XD | 07:48 |
| ghufran | hi .. is there a way to somehow increase the size of my filesystem without having to reinstall? | 07:48 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: something is not right here. wobbling windows weren't activated following the reset to default, but the effect is still active. Still No 3d Cube by the way :s | 07:49 |
| alonea | lyhana8: none of those seem to have to do anything with the program or have to do with the advanced linux graphics and themes. saw nothing to do with webcam | 07:49 |
| Loshki | clint-: I'm not sure what you're asking. Of all the problems Ubuntu distros have, dependencies hasn't been an issue since at least 8.04. Sound, flash, wireless and suspend/resume are *still* issues.. | 07:49 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Hm. Hopefully you haent ran compiz or ccsm with sudo or as root | 07:49 |
| zus | is gtk record my desktop still having issues with uploading videos to youtube? | 07:49 |
| soreau | havent* | 07:49 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: and I don't find any button to start video for MSN protocol. So ask on #kopete what protocol support video | 07:50 |
| alonea | lyhana8: so far no answer, and I read on forums that yahoo and msn is support as well as their documentation saying so | 07:50 |
| Loshki | clint-: I didn't mean to sound short with you dude, the chat stuff isn't my rule, it's channel guidelines. The ops can ban you for going offtopic too much.... | 07:50 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: I need to change the number in the config file first | 07:51 |
| lyhana8 | alonea: try to ask on #kubuntu #kde | 07:51 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: Compiz runs at startup, I mean like anyone. And I run the setting manager through the usual system menu. | 07:51 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, you don't have to yet ~ you dont even have the menu don't you? | 07:51 |
| alonea | lyhana8: tried kubuntu with little like, can try kde I guess | 07:51 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Can you show the output of ls -l $HOME/.config/compiz/compizconfig/Default.ini ? | 07:52 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: yeap, but when I got it then it fail on glib maybe cause i don' t find it | 07:52 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, let debug it one at a time | 07:53 |
| nigtv | Hi, after installing 9.10, my mouse doesnt seem to be registering, cant move the cursor, any workarounds? It's a ps/2 normal mouse with a scrollwheel/button | 07:53 |
| nigtv | it registered fine during the install so kind of strange it doesnt work now | 07:53 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Which backend are you using in ccsm>Preferences? | 07:53 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, Loshki, ya i just check the wiki : Device naming has changed between GRUB and GRUB2. Partitions are numbered from 1 instead of 0 while drives are still numbered from 0. For example, /dev/sda1 would be referred to as (hd0,1) using GRUB2. | 07:54 |
| lyhana8 | so I do this command in the grub prompt (point or comma?): | 07:54 |
| lyhana8 | load (0.5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:54 |
| Loshki | lyhana8: wildbat: that confirms it. The grub developers *are* insane... | 07:54 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, i think is configurefile (0,5)/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 07:54 |
| lyhana8 | XD | 07:54 |
| Seveas | clint-, ? | 07:55 |
| wildbat | Loshki, they are , they release it with grub2 bugs around ~ it is the boot loader can't be bugged........ | 07:55 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: there's no Default.ini in this path, but a file named 'config' here's its content : http://pastebin.com/L7EHCh5i | 07:55 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, oh (hd0,5)* | 07:56 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: it's GConf Configuration backend | 07:56 |
| lyhana8 | ok wildbat I'll try | 07:57 |
| lyhana8 | see you | 07:57 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, tab will be your friend in grub> | 07:57 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Can you try switching to FlatFile then re-enable rotate and try again? | 07:58 |
| shawnboy_ | I'm looking for help with GPG. I can't use my private key(s) without putting on my hard disk drive. I don't want that. I want to use from external. | 07:59 |
| clint- | my decision I have made it | 08:00 |
| clint- | I will stick to the distros I work with. | 08:00 |
| clint- | and not support ubuntu | 08:00 |
| clint- | sorry | 08:00 |
| clint- | have a nice year everyone | 08:00 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: does nothing. It's almost like the setting manager is not taken into account by compiz, there are effects I haven't enabled that are working and others i've enabled that aren't | 08:00 |
| merischino | hey guys. still trying to configure my new ubuntu installation. can anyone tell me how to get mime issues addressed? | 08:01 |
| red | Hey, I'm using IBM Thinkpad with Ludic Lynx, I need to use a headset for Skype calls but for some reason ubuntu is fixed on using the laptops internal webcam microphone | 08:02 |
| red | instead of the headsets | 08:02 |
| mneptok | merischino: hire a clown. they are the mime's mortal enemy. | 08:02 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: That indicates an issue with libcompizconfig but all output you have shown shows it should be working AFAICT | 08:02 |
| merischino | also, can anyone tell me where do programs get stored, directory wise, on an ubuntu installation? can't tell where rhythmbox is | 08:02 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Is there some particular reason you are using that old version of ubuntu? | 08:02 |
| merischino | mneptok, funny | 08:02 |
| mneptok | merischino: "which rhythmbox" in a terminal will tell you | 08:03 |
| merischino | (need to set a default program for playing .wav files, don't k,now how to navigate to it) | 08:03 |
| clint- | sorry , tarzeau , good luck with everything.. Loshki you too | 08:03 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Also, can you try running compiz from your terminal then try changing ccsm settings and see if there is any interesting output?? | 08:03 |
| merischino | thank you mneptok | 08:03 |
| DannyButterman | Soreau: I had no other problem than that so far. I should consider install a newer version but I'm afraid of more serious future issues | 08:04 |
| merischino | mneptok of course it is now searching for plugins and crap. | 08:05 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Just run compiz in a terminal and pastebin the output | 08:05 |
| red | Hey, I'm using IBM Thinkpad with Ludic Lynx, I need to use a headset for Skype calls but for some reason ubuntu is fixed on using the laptops internal webcam microphone and I cannot see any output matching to the headset. The headets speakers work fine tho. | 08:05 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: what is the command line for running compiz ? | 08:05 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: compiz | 08:05 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: You could do compiz & disown if you want to background it and be able to close the terminal (without killing compiz) | 08:06 |
| StarvingBum | can someone help me here? | 08:09 |
| StarvingBum | apt-get is a bit messed | 08:09 |
| wildbat | !anyone | StarvingBum | 08:09 |
| ubottu | StarvingBum: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 08:09 |
| StarvingBum | im running a lightweight ubuntu distro | 08:09 |
| StarvingBum | and the apt-get tries to downloadfrom a local ip | 08:09 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: Loshki so configfile just clear the prompt screen | 08:10 |
| StarvingBum | no synapsis on it | 08:10 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, so it didn't load the congurefile..... | 08:10 |
| lyhana8 | actually, first time I reboot there was a grub menu, then second boot nothin wildbat: Loshki | 08:10 |
| soreau | StarvingBum: Did you check /etc/apt/source.lst is sane and run apt-get update afterward? | 08:10 |
| StarvingBum | let me look now | 08:11 |
| StarvingBum | lol | 08:12 |
| StarvingBum | it says | 08:12 |
| StarvingBum | deb http://192.168.2.239/etcetc | 08:12 |
| StarvingBum | what should i change it to? | 08:12 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, try do fsck -cpv /dev/sda5 | 08:12 |
| DannyButterman | soreau: it's working at last ! my windows were thrashed once I ctrl-c the terminal, so I re-enabled the 'Extra' effects in the display settings and bam! 3d cube and all working flawlessly :D | 08:12 |
| soreau | DannyButterman: Must have been some weird fluke, or that you are using flatfile now | 08:13 |

| tgywa | Where can I get informaiton about JS/TrojanDownloader.Pegel.BP Trojan? | 08:16 |
| maelaian | iamm: /path-to-iso/ should be the folder that contains the iso, it is a place holder | 08:16 |
| maelaian | iamm: It needs to be the correct path to the .iso you downloaded. | 08:16 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, idk abut reiserfs ~ but scan it for error | 08:17 |
| iamm | i've copied the iso to the 'download' folder | 08:17 |
| maelaian | iamm: is your terminal currently in that directory? | 08:17 |
| maelaian | iamm: if it is not, cd to the download directory. | 08:17 |
| iamm | yes, i've opened the terminal from that folder | 08:18 |
| maelaian | iamm: then execute sudo mount -o loop ./ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0 | 08:18 |

| maelaian | iamm: type ls does it show the contents of the cd? | 08:25 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: I'm not an expert, just know it work and its better for small file than ext3 (not sure for ext4) | 08:26 |
| sparr | Can someone confirm that "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -s 1" from a virtual terminal crashes X? | 08:26 |

| MrWise | ubuntu server install from my usb key crashes when I hit install, live XP on the usb just reboot loops, windows server that's already installed on the harddrive boots fine though | 08:58 |
| MrWise | I don't have any CDs or diskettes, I have the harddrive connected to this (working) computer right now | 08:59 |
| MrWise | what would be the best ways to install ubuntu server, with all this in mind? | 08:59 |
| llutz | MrWise: debootstrap | 08:59 |
| neil_d | xro: and you have switch to a root login... | 08:59 |
| llutz | MrWise: look at forums, there should be a howto | 09:00 |
| MrWise | alright, thanks | 09:00 |
| MrWise | oh and | 09:01 |
| MrWise | I have vmware, if that makes any other possible rout available | 09:01 |
| MrWise | in case debootstrap has any draw-backs | 09:01 |
| xro | neil_d, i call it from root to root@remotehost... | 09:02 |
| tripelb | can I get the "bottom panel" to be on the top under the "top panel"? | 09:02 |
| neil_d | xro: what happens if you just try to login with "# ssh <host>" | 09:05 |
| airtonix | MrWise, for lulz i would get grub2 to bot from an iso on the drive | 09:06 |
| xro | neil_d, ssh root@host ask for password, i put pass and get logged | 09:08 |
| DjDark | invert x-axis on "inside cube" anyone ? | 09:10 |
| neil_d | xro: but root doesn't have a password... but there has got to be something wrong the keys! As they take priority over passwords. | 09:11 |
| xro | neil_d, so, i'll try do create a new keys pair and transfer it again... | 09:12 |
| neil_d | xro: I wouldn't regenerate. | 09:12 |
| xro | neil_d, why? | 09:12 |

| llutz | poi77: you redirected stdout to xyz, so what do you expect? remove those files | 09:15 |

| MrWise | hmm, if I want to run a LAMP server, but really do want a proper desktop environment- should I install ubuntu desktop 64bit and then just LAMP on top of that? | 09:21 |
| iceroot | b0n1: ls -l Unix-file | 09:21 |
| MrWise | or 32bit, or server and then add desktop stuff | 09:21 |
| b0n1 | iceroot: permission denied again | 09:22 |
| iceroot | MrWise: if you need amd64, use it | 09:22 |
| iceroot | b0n1: sudo chmod +x Unix-file && ./Unix-file | 09:22 |
| Galerien | Hi all, I would like to install KDE in my ubuntu so that I could choose between them at startup... 1. Is that a good thing to do, 2. how do I do it please :) | 09:22 |
| Bodman456 | Hi guys | 09:22 |
| MrWise | iceroot; I don't know if I need amd64 | 09:22 |
| MrWise | I just know that the 64bit version is recommended for the server edition of ubuntu | 09:23 |
| iceroot | Galerien: yes its a good idea, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:23 |
| iceroot | MrWise: how much ram? | 09:23 |
| MrWise | 1gb | 09:23 |
| iceroot | MrWise: you have a cpu supporting amd64? | 09:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | mondoarchive is having mkisofs issues here - so no backup for me... | 09:23 |
| Bodman456 | Can you guys help me with a proxy issue? | 09:23 |
| Galerien | iceroot: that's all, I get a fully functional kde desktop or should i configure it afterwards ? | 09:23 |
| b0n1 | chmod: permission denied | 09:23 |
| b0n1 | iceroot: | 09:23 |
| iceroot | Galerien: you get a full kde-desktop with that command | 09:23 |
| Galerien | iceroot: great thanks ! | 09:24 |
| iceroot | b0n1: is that file on a cd? | 09:24 |
| MrWise | iceroot; not entierly sure, it's an intel p4 I think | 09:24 |
| b0n1 | emulated | 09:24 |
| Galerien | iceroot: 67 Mb, is that normal? | 09:24 |
| iceroot | MrWise: can you post the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo to pastebin? | 09:24 |
| MrWise | nope | 09:24 |
| b0n1 | i emulated it with furious isomount | 09:24 |
| iceroot | b0n1: mount it as writeable | 09:24 |
| iceroot | Galerien: then you already have installed kde i think if it is only 67mb | 09:25 |
| Galerien | great, I don't bother you any-more :D | 09:25 |
| MrWise | but, if it HAS support for x86-64, I should use the 64bit version, iceroot? | 09:25 |
| b0n1 | iceroot: there are only options fuse loop md5 and sha1 | 09:25 |
| llutz | MrWise: you'll see no difference between 32/64 with your setup | 09:25 |
| iceroot | MrWise: yes, because there are performance-problems with PAE (torvalds say so) | 09:25 |
| b0n1 | what does that mean? | 09:25 |
| iceroot | b0n1: i dont know | 09:26 |
| iceroot | MrWise: and the server-edition is using the PAE-Kernel | 09:26 |
| MrWise | iceroot; and I need PAE with 1gb of memory? | 09:26 |
| MrWise | ah | 09:26 |
| MrWise | ok | 09:26 |
| neil_d | I need to log into a remote server... with it asking for a name and password... security isn't a problem (as I will be going via a VPN)... how can I do this as VNC doesn't seem to be able to work on lucid? | 09:26 |
| iceroot | MrWise: no but the edition comes with PAE | 09:26 |
| iceroot | !pae | MrWise | 09:26 |
| ubottu | MrWise: To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info | 09:26 |
| Galerien | b0n1: use sha1 | 09:26 |
| llutz | iceroot: performance-problems for benchmark-fans only, you hardly see them in practical use | 09:27 |
| Galerien | b0n1: md5 isn't good anymore, it's leak and anyone can crack it with the right software | 09:27 |
| iceroot | llutz: no | 09:27 |
| iceroot | llutz: let me look for the link | 09:27 |
| MrWise | iceroot; well I wouldnt install the 32bit server edition regardless | 09:27 |
| MrWise | to do so never entered my mind | 09:27 |
| llutz | iceroot: i'm using a PAE kernel since ages on one of my computers and haven't any issues with that | 09:27 |
| b0n1 | hm that furious program sucks :( | 09:28 |
| iceroot | llutz: cant find the link, linus torvalds say something about the great disadvantages of pae | 09:28 |
| b0n1 | i heard there is a program, so that i can mount with nautilus on right click of the file | 09:28 |
| iceroot | llutz: and its not a problem to use amd64 if the cpu supports it | 09:28 |
| b0n1 | does someone know that? | 09:28 |
| iceroot | b0n1: gmount i think was the name | 09:29 |
| iceroot | !info gmount | 09:29 |
| ubottu | Package gmount does not exist in lucid | 09:29 |

| wildbat | !ask | Bodman456 | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Bodman456: 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. :-) | 09:41 |
| lyhana8 | wildbat: still struggling, the reiserfsck doesn't find any corruption | 09:41 |
| MrWise | o rite, sorry wildbat... just assumed vmware would've done that for me :P | 09:42 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, what kinda of hd it is ? may be you can scan the hd with the manufacture tools | 09:42 |
| wildbat | lyhana8, or wanna reinstall the ubuntu may be? | 09:43 |
| lyhana8 | hmm maybe another distrib then | 09:44 |
| Bodman456 | lyhana8: which distro are you using currently? | 09:45 |
| lyhana8 | Bodman456: kubuntu | 09:45 |
| lyhana8 | Bodman456: why ? | 09:45 |
| Bodman456 | lyhana8: if your on 9.04 or lower, maybe try upgrading to 10.04. | 09:46 |
| lyhana8 | that a fresh 10.04 | 09:46 |

| b0n1 | i have a .bin and if i mount it i can see what it is in but not run the unix file in there | 09:47 |
| b0n1 | because i have no permission its root only | 09:47 |
| b0n1 | i use furious iso mount | 09:47 |
| b0n1 | someone an idea? | 09:48 |
| b0n1 | how do you mount bins ? | 09:48 |
| Galerien | b0n1: alt + F2 ==> gkss ==> furious... (or whatever the soft name is) | 09:49 |

| josh-N | hi. i'm on kubuntu... where would i look for info on what dvd drive is installed? | 09:49 |
| neil_d | josh-N: lspci might give you the info. | 09:50 |
| b0n1 | and now ? | 09:50 |
| llutz | josh-N: wodim --prcap | 09:50 |
| acidjazz | what is this flush-1 process? | 09:51 |
| b0n1 | Galerien, i think my problem is not that i cant run furious iso mount without root, the problem is that i cant run the things in the bin because i have to be root | 09:51 |
| Galerien | ... b0n1 I don't understand, that's something I don't know, sorry... | 09:52 |
| josh-N | neil_d, llutz: thanks | 09:53 |
| oxymoron | If I want incremental weekly backup with rsync or rdiff-backup, how do I do that? | 09:54 |
| llutz | oxymoron: read rdiff-backup docu | 09:55 |
| triptec | what router software is recommended for ubuntu? I've been using shorewall but was wondering if there's anything with a gui maybe? | 09:55 |
| oxymoron | llutz: Already did but dont understand how to script it so it works and then should be aplied into cron | 09:56 |
| llutz | oxymoron: there is a howto at howtoforge about that, "automated backups..." | 09:57 |
| oxymoron | llutz: Url? | 09:58 |
| llutz | oxymoron: google it,i don't have www here | 09:58 |
| oxymoron | llutz: Found this: http://www.howtoforge.com/backing-up-with-rsync-and-managing-previous-versions-history but I dont understand how to put it ALL togehter so it just works. I want to add some partitions and then one backup dest directory, then do incremental backup and save into 7 different directories, one for each day in week. | 10:02 |
| llutz | oxymoron: there is a rdiff-backup howto at howtoforge about that, "automated backups..." <- is part of the title iirc search/read it | 10:03 |
| oxymoron | llutz: No one does any summary or conclusion of things, just tells how to make single commands one by one, then wehn I script myself I dont know how to mix the commands so it works | 10:05 |
| acidjazz | what is this flush-1 process? | 10:06 |

| luckymurali | Hi all\ | 10:24 |
| ranjan | hi all | 10:25 |
| luckymurali | I installed xorg-fglr | 10:25 |
| ranjan | how to fix bad sectors in linux partitions?? | 10:25 |
| luckymurali | after restarting my machine I am getting blank screen | 10:25 |
| iceroot | ranjan: you mean hardware-errors? | 10:26 |
| ranjan | iceroot, yes...what to do? | 10:26 |
| iceroot | ranjan: buy a new drive | 10:26 |
| luckymurali | I need uninstall that, please tell me how to do that | 10:26 |
| Tecna | When will support for 8.04 LTS end? | 10:26 |
| luckymurali | iceroot, hi | 10:26 |
| iceroot | ranjan: correcting them will not solve the problem | 10:26 |
| iceroot | !8.04 | Tecna | 10:27 |
| ubottu | Tecna: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Downloading: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04 - See !lts for more details. | 10:27 |
| iceroot | Tecna: hm, desktop 2011, server 2013 | 10:27 |
| ranjan | iceroot, i found a tool known as badblocks and it shows the badblocks | 10:27 |
| Tecna | !lts | 10:27 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 10:28 |
| iceroot | ranjan: yes but ignoring them with that tool is not solving the problem, so buy a new disk | 10:28 |
| iamm | hi guys i've managed to do replacing my karmic by lucid... and my wireless and wired isn't working | 10:28 |
| ranjan | iceroot, i heard that in windows there is something like marking the bad sectors so that the filesystem wont try to access those sectors | 10:28 |
| ranjan | iceroot, is there something like that in linux | 10:28 |
| luketheduke | grah. can anyone help me setting up xorg.conf for multiple monitors? | 10:28 |
| iamm | i've tried messing up w/ the terminal based from googling and i'm nearly giving up :( | 10:29 |
| luketheduke | ranjan: the hard disk does that transparently | 10:29 |
| iceroot | ranjan: again, that is not solving the problem, the disk still is broken and normally there are coming mor bad sectors, so if you like your files, buy a new harddisc | 10:29 |
| ranjan | iceroot, actually can you help me in fixing the things in that way without buying a new one?? | 10:29 |
| iamm | could someone point me to the right direction, download the right drivers and install them painlessly... | 10:29 |
| Greek-Boy | my gconf says it filed to connect to the configuration server, I get something like Conf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed. i googled but can't seem to find a solution for my case. This started happening after distro-upgrade when trying to run mythbackend | 10:30 |
| BPower | Agh. I have LG Flatron L206WU and I'm trying to set it up as a second display on 9.10. The best resolution it offers me is 1360x768 but I need it at 1680x1050. What should I do/edit? | 10:30 |
| ranjan | luketheduke, but then why the os fails to boot and goes to maintainance mode? | 10:30 |
| luketheduke | ranjan, no idea, could be a lot of reasons. if it's the hard drive, that means something important broke and it couldn't recover it | 10:30 |
| Jimi_Neutral | hey all....bat question. I pull files from an FTP server every Friday, create a folder, put them in it, copy them, change on or two then upload them to a different ftp server....i know how to atuomate all of it but the creating the fodler bit..what is the syntax for creating a folder using .BAT | 10:30 |
| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: mkdir | 10:31 |
| Tecna | I've just installed 8.04 and there seems to be no sound. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting, other than finding out what hardware I have with lspci. | 10:31 |
| ranjan | luketheduke, but after giving the password and using the fsck solves the problem. | 10:31 |
| ranjan | luketheduke, why is it so?? | 10:31 |
| Jordan_U | Tecna: Any reason you installed 8.04 instead of 10.04? | 10:32 |
| luketheduke | ranjan, did you shut down your system cleanly? | 10:32 |
| luckymurali | Jordan_U, hi | 10:32 |
| ranjan | luketheduke, yes. but the tool called badblocks shows the bad sectors | 10:32 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, cool, ok next bit of the question....how do i name that folder automatically with todays date each and every friday | 10:32 |
| Tecna | Jordan_U: I tried 10.04, and it made my machine unusable. | 10:32 |
| iamm | guys i'm trying to follow this http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware - but i'm confused how to install the wireless driver | 10:32 |
| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: man date | 10:33 |
| iamm | BCM4312 | 10:33 |
| iamm | :/ | 10:33 |
| ranjan | Tecna, is yours a desktop or laptop?? | 10:33 |
| Tecna | ranjan: Desktop. | 10:33 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: Hi... | 10:33 |
| erUSUL | iamm: sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter | 10:33 |

| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: that's so you look into the man file | 10:34 |
| TrentH | When starting my ubuntu 10.4 so I can install it the screen turns black. | 10:34 |
| erUSUL | iamm: while you are connected to internet via wire | 10:34 |
| forceflow | siriusnova: I own an asus 1005ha, which runs ubuntu fine | 10:34 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: Why are you tellinng me this specifically? | 10:34 |
| Tecna | ranjan: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 10:34 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, wooosh! that was the sound of that going over my head | 10:34 |
| luketheduke | the command is mkdir "`date -someoption`" | 10:34 |
| luckymurali | Jordan_U,I feel you can help me | 10:34 |
| siriusnova | firceflow - isnt that a netbook? | 10:35 |
| siriusnova | forceflow | 10:35 |
| iamm | erUSUL, wired isn't working too | 10:35 |
| ranjan | Tecna, do u mean that there is no sound while playing medias or the OS doesnt have the sound?? | 10:35 |
| forceflow | siriusnova: yeah | 10:35 |
| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: open a command terminal, type "man date" | 10:35 |
| ranjan | Tecna, i mean does the login sound come?? | 10:35 |
| erUSUL | iamm: :( | 10:35 |
| siriusnova | i was thinking something more along the lines of a regular laptop | 10:35 |
| netone | hello | 10:35 |
| rubydiamond | hi guys how to setup pop3 email server in thunderbird of lucid | 10:35 |
| erUSUL | iamm: if you do "ifconfig -a" do you get a eth0 ? | 10:35 |
| rubydiamond | there is not option of pop3 | 10:35 |
| ranjan | netone, Hi ;) | 10:35 |
| iamm | okay lines have run after the aptitude | 10:35 |
| netone | Can someone tell me where can I find networkmanager applet ? | 10:35 |
| ranjan | netone, its on the top panel | 10:36 |
| ranjan | netone, right side top | 10:36 |
| netone | ranjan: Hello ! you know anything about network setups ? | 10:36 |
| luckymurali | how do I go to tui mode ie which key i need to press to go to that mode on startup?? | 10:36 |
| erUSUL | netone: in the upper right corner | 10:36 |
| netone | yeah that is usually there | 10:36 |
| rubydiamond | halp | 10:36 |
| iamm | erUSUL, nope, its - lo, pan0, wlan0 | 10:36 |
| ranjan | netone, let me try..ask your doubt | 10:36 |
| rubydiamond | how to setup pop 3 server in thunderbird linux | 10:36 |
| Jordan_U | luckymurali: Please address questions to the entire channel rather than individuals. If anyone can help they will. | 10:37 |
| erUSUL | iamm: "lspci | grep -i net" | 10:37 |
| netone | but with one user which is my main admin account... the networkmanager applet disappeared and in its place I got another bluetooth icon | 10:37 |
| luckymurali | ok' | 10:37 |
| Tecna | ranjan: The entire OS has no sound. I didn't notice until running virtualbox and getting the error: "No audio devices could be opened. Selecting the NULL audio backend with the consequence that no sound is audible.." | 10:37 |
| Greek-Boy | my gconf says it filed to connect to the configuration server, I get something like Conf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed. i googled but can't seem to find a solution for my case. This started happening after distro-upgrade when trying to run mythbackend | 10:37 |
| erUSUL | netone: alt + f2 --> run nm-applet | 10:37 |
| netone | I deleted the extra bluetooth icon hoping to add the nwmgr applet but I could not find it | 10:37 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, ty :O) | 10:37 |
| drizzt_ | rubydiamond, select new account and answer the questions | 10:37 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, ah should of told you im using cmd in windows | 10:38 |
| ranjan | Tecna, which is our motherboard | 10:38 |
| iamm | erUSUL, BCM4312, and RTL8101E/RTL8102E | 10:38 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, sorry but the windows room is full of knobs | 10:38 |
| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: uhhhh. okay. | 10:38 |
| netone | erUSUL, thanks, One more thing it is not even allowing me to connect to any network apart from bluetooth, I have checked the priveleges and admin rights etc | 10:38 |
| luketheduke | I think there's a %DATE% variable | 10:38 |
| rubydiamond | drizzt_: it switches to IMAP | 10:38 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, rgr, ty mate | 10:38 |
| erUSUL | iamm: « sudo modprobe r8169 » | 10:38 |
| rubydiamond | and not possible to change it | 10:38 |
| drizzt_ | rubydiamond, so swith it back | 10:38 |
| ybsolar | ok, i know | 10:38 |
| rubydiamond | drizzt_: where | 10:39 |
| luckymurali | how do I go to tui mode ie which key i need to press to go to that mode on startup?? | 10:39 |
| luketheduke | Jimi_Neutral: http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/ | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | iamm: check ifconfig -a again. do you get a eth0 now ? | 10:39 |
| rubydiamond | no option to switch it back to pop3 | 10:39 |
| luckymurali | i need to open terminal | 10:39 |
| netone | the eth0 or eth01 etc are all greyed out... | 10:39 |
| luketheduke | there are a few sites on batch programming on the internet, use your google (: | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | netone: what wifi chip ? | 10:39 |
| iamm | erUSUL, btw on the b43-fwcutter, couldn't find any package error | 10:39 |
| netone | using wired connection with usb | 10:39 |
| Jimi_Neutral | luketheduke, ty again :) | 10:39 |
| Tecna | ranjan: my hardware according to lspci=> http://pastebin.com/FRteCLMw | 10:40 |
| erUSUL | iamm: we will get to that when you got internet connection in the machine | 10:40 |
| erUSUL | netone: "wired connection with usb" ??? | 10:40 |
| netone | yeah not using wireless connection | 10:40 |
| drizzt_ | rubydiamond, press change button when creating new account... or you had created one already? | 10:40 |
| iamm | erUSUL, ah alright, yes... got eth0 at the top | 10:40 |
| netone | connecting my adsl modem with usb fire | 10:40 |
| erUSUL | iamm: do this, « echo "r8169" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules » | 10:41 |
| BPower | Agh. The documentation really isn't helping me. How do I add a resolution option to a display (the proper resolution isn't listed)? | 10:42 |
| erUSUL | !fixres | 10:42 |
| ubottu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 10:42 |
| iamm | erUSUL, okay... it does echoed r8169... | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | iamm: now try to get connected to inter via wired so we can fix the wifi driver | 10:43 |
| iamm | erUSUL, cooool... one sec... | 10:44 |
| netone | erUSUL, I am using Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5784M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) device on system | 10:45 |
| luketheduke | I am trying to change my screen setup. is it a good idea to just hotplug everything and do "Xorg -configure"? | 10:46 |
| kahen | Back in 9.10 Youtube fullscreen worked. Now with 10.04 it instantly crashes firefox every time. This is with flashplugin-nonfree installed and using onboard intel graphics. any suggestions? | 10:47 |
| kahen | to the best of my knowledge it's only youtube. blip.tv does fullscreen just fine for example | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | netone: and is not working via network manager ? | 10:47 |
| BPower | erUSUL, Ok. Ubottu needs to change its messages. If it tells you to do something which will log you off, it needs to say that. I just lost a ton of work because I didn't know that "$ sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" would log me out. | 10:48 |
| iamm | erUSUL, oops icon on network reads but after that it notifies me it wired connection is disconnected | 10:48 |
| BPower | Second: It didn't help. The monitor isn't telling my computer the proper resolutions. I need to manually add one. How do I do this? The documentation is not clear enough. | 10:48 |
| erUSUL | BPower: sorry bout that; you can request an edit of the factoid in #ubuntu-ops | 10:49 |
| BPower | erUSUL, it's okay, it's not your fault | 10:49 |
| BPower | :) | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | iamm: :/ « sudo dhclient eth0 » | 10:49 |
| ranjan | Tecna, why are you using ubuntu 8.04 | 10:50 |
| ranjan | Tecna, use the latest ..its better | 10:50 |
| iamm | erUSUL, mmm 'no dhcpoffers received, no working leases in persistent database- sleeping' | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | iamm: the cabling is correctly plugged ? | 10:53 |
| netone | erUSUL, yes | 10:53 |
| erUSUL | iamm: to a router etc ... | 10:53 |
| BPower | So... how do I add a resolution option for a monitor? | 10:54 |
| iamm | erUSUL, yes, from the router to the computer | 10:54 |
| iamm | double-checked | 10:54 |
| kbmaniac | when evolution gets new mail, any way to get a popup in the notification area ? | 10:54 |

| wildbat | Jordan_U, hi~ i run into someone that have weird problem ~ he have sda5 in reiserfs installed ubuntu ~ but his system boot to grub >, so i told him to reinstall !grub2, then he have boot menu and boot with error on glib.

| llutz | iamm: sudo ethtool eth0|grep -i link | 10:56 |
| erUSUL | iamm: well i'm out of ideas now. it should've just worked (tm) | 10:56 |
| Tecna | ranjan: 10.04 all but bricked my machine. | 10:57 |
| ranjan | Tecna, how?? | 10:57 |
| iamm | erUSUL, :( 'sudo: ethtool: command not found' | 10:58 |
| jpds | iamm: sudo apt-get install ethtool | 10:58 |
| ranjan | hi all i would like to have you friends to give me suggestion on my plan to take a Netbook. | 10:59 |
| iamm | jpds, 'couldn't find package ethtool' | 10:59 |
| iamm | :(( | 10:59 |
| Tecna | ranjan: It kept crashing when attempting simple tasks such as copying files, and my TTYs were garbled. | 11:00 |
| llutz | !info ethtool | 11:00 |
| ubottu | ethtool (source: ethtool): display or change Ethernet device settings. In component main, is optional. Version 6+20091202-1 (lucid), package size 67 kB, installed size 268 kB | 11:00 |

| syddraf | How can I get aptitude to not automatically install recommended packages? | 11:00 |
| BPower | So... how do I add a resolution option for a monitor? | 11:01 |
| llutz | syddraf: use -R | 11:01 |
| kahen | syddraf: or just apt-get instead? it's not as "helpful" as aptitude | 11:01 |
| syddraf | apt-get still installs recommends. | 11:02 |
| iamm | erUSUL, guys, i've tried downloading linux driver for realtek on the realtek website but its autorun has some problems... | 11:02 |
| llutz | syddraf: read man aptitude (-R) how to change ~/.aptitude/config to make that default | 11:02 |
| syddraf | thank you | 11:02 |
| iamm | i've followed instructions from the readme that comes with it | 11:02 |
| erUSUL | iamm: you should not need any driver from realtek | 11:03 |
| iamm | should be out of the box? | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | iamm: the driver we activated ( r8169) should work | 11:03 |
| iamm | i've probably messed up some settings, but its a clean install just this earlier | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | iamm: well the fact that neither ethtool nor b43-fwcutter can be found by aptitude sound wrong ... | 11:04 |
| BPower | Okay seriously no one here knows how to create a new resolution option for a screen? | 11:05 |

| c0l2e | and you can onlu create qemu virt type in ubuntu server 10.04 while I can create kvm / qemu in ubuntu desktop 10.04 | 11:33 |
| Night_Elf | StrongOrder: it looks like what neil_d said. But if you don't need the cgo module, why not remove the file /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/cgi.load | 11:33 |

| LjL | grandrew: it's only possible if those packages are in your ubuntu version's repositories for the version of the package you want - in other words, if the reason there is a newer version is that there was an update after release. in that case, you can use "sudo apt-get install packagename=versionumber" to install a specific version (then you might want to mark the package as "on hold" or it will be upgraded again). | 12:16 |

| tarzeau | ddvlad: package size | 12:32 |
| tarzeau | ddvlad: in debian packages get built for 10 or so architectures | 12:33 |
| TrentH | Not sure Idle, just try the DNS? Or try resetting your modem (which i'm sure you have). Also does this problem happen in Winblows? | 12:33 |
| idlecool | i am gettin this problem since 2 days! does my ISP has changed its config or some problem with my ubuntu installation?? | 12:33 |
| tarzeau | ddvlad: now imagine source code, compiled code size = 1 mb, and data size = 10 mb | 12:33 |
| Tm_T | ddvlad: data is typically platform independent | 12:33 |
| tarzeau | ddvlad: you have 10 x 11 mb packages = 110 mb, and 10 x 1 mb + 10 mb = 20 mb | 12:33 |

| TrentH | idlecool: It's most likely your DNS settings then. | 12:34 |
| DarkSector | hey, in 10.04 how do you get the address bar in nautilus ? | 12:34 |
| idlecool | ohh! thanx a lot! :) | 12:34 |
| TrentH | idlecool: to change the dns, pico /etc/resolve.conf | 12:34 |
| TrentH | idlecool: Here look @ this. http://nixcraft.com/linux-software/507-set-how-change-dns-setting-ubuntu-linux-network.html | 12:35 |
| guest1234 | DarkSector: view->Location bar :| | 12:35 |
| idlecool | ok. | 12:35 |
| DarkSector | guest1234: wow, thanks, :\ | 12:35 |
| DarkSector | guest1234: read the question again | 12:36 |
| DarkSector | again ! how do you get the address bar in nautilus in 10.04 or have they gotten rid of it ? in previous versions you could click on an icon and it would toggle between address bar and location bar... <=== guest1234 | 12:37 |
| maco | DarkSector: ctrl+L | 12:38 |
| maco | DarkSector: yes they got rid of teh button | 12:38 |
| jrib | DarkSector: did yo utry what guest1234 said? | 12:38 |
| DarkSector | maco: that's what I was talking about :D thanks man | 12:38 |
| maco | DarkSector: but they did not get rid of the location bar | 12:38 |
| maco | DarkSector: and what guest1234 said DOES do that | 12:38 |
| DarkSector | maco: no it doesn't I checked and then asked | 12:39 |
| jrib | DarkSector: works here | 12:39 |
| DarkSector | !wfm | 12:39 |
| ubottu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 12:39 |
| brindlem | hey hey kids! | 12:39 |
| IdleOne | DarkSector: if you want the location bar to open automatically: hit ALT+F2, type gconf-editor in the box and hit enter, navigate to apps > nautilus > preferences and check the always_use_location_entry Nautilus will open with the Location bar from now on. | 12:40 |
| idlecool | TrentH: I heard about google DNS?? will that be working? | 12:40 |
| DarkSector | IdleOne: got it, also CTRL L doesn't toggle it back to location bar, just goes to address bar, is this a bug ? | 12:40 |
| IdleOne | DarkSector: not a bug but more a lack of feature :( | 12:41 |
| jrib | DarkSector: is there a difference between "location bar" and "address bar"? | 12:41 |
| IdleOne | DarkSector: you can report a bug on it at launchpad.net | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | IdleOne: *sigh* | 12:41 |
| TrentH | idlecool, I think your modem is losing the DNS settings from your PC. | 12:41 |
| brindlem | glxinfo isn't working for me, and I've tracked it down to changing gfx card from nvidia to ati. Xorg.log has the wrong driver loaded... How do I go about removing the libglx.so and installing the right driver? | 12:41 |
| TrentH | So you can type http://192.168.0.1 to access your modem settings and find the DNS servers. | 12:41 |
| DarkSector | jrib: yeah, location bar is tabbed location, address bar has complete path in form of text | 12:41 |
| jrib | DarkSector: okay, location bar, at least here has complete path in form of text | 12:42 |
| TrentH | 68.94.156.1 dnsr1.sbcglobal.net 68.94.157.1 dnsr2.sbcglobal.net | 12:42 |
| IdleOne | jrib: what version you running? | 12:42 |
| DarkSector | jrib: does it open by default as text ? | 12:42 |
| TrentH | See, tose are my DNS servers. | 12:42 |
| jrib | DarkSector: if I check view -> location bar, yes | 12:42 |
| DarkSector | jrib: on ubuntu 10.04 ? | 12:43 |
| jrib | IdleOne: GNOME nautilus 2.30.1 (in lucid) | 12:43 |
| TrentH | idlecool: Try http://192.168.1.254 also. | 12:43 |
| idlecool | TrentH: i dont have much knowlege about local DNS settings.. can you elaborate or direct me to a tutorial for how that works?? | 12:43 |
| DarkSector | yeah its 10.04 alright | 12:43 |
| IdleOne | jrib: mine does not keep the setting if I go via the menu | 12:43 |
| IdleOne | So I set in gconf | 12:43 |
| DarkSector | IdleOne: me too | 12:43 |
| jrib | IdleOne: this is an upgrade, so that setting may have been set in the past? | 12:44 |
| IdleOne | jrib: yes. that is it | 12:44 |
| TrentH | idlecool: the DNS stands for Domain Name Server. It is a information database as to when you go to www.google.com the DNS will tell your computer which IP to pull the info from. | 12:44 |
| IdleOne | jrib: on fresh install it doesn't hold | 12:44 |
| DarkSector | jrib: so when you open nautilus, it gives you address bar, in form of text that is, if you want the location bar in form of tabs what do you do ? | 12:44 |
| DarkSector | jrib: ah ok | 12:44 |
| jrib | DarkSector: I never want the location bar in form of tabs, I think that was removed. Also, if you want to search about it, I think they are usually called "breadcrumbs" | 12:45 |
| DarkSector | lolwut ! no gimp ??!! | 12:45 |
| idlecool | TrentH: how do that works in our local system?? means you were talking about modem and operating system!! how do that work?? | 12:45 |
| jrib | DarkSector: /by default/, yeah | 12:45 |
| DarkSector | what the hell is wrong with them ?! | 12:45 |
| DarkSector | they're getting rid of the best stuff | 12:45 |
| TrentH | idlecool: When you visit a website, or anything. Your computer requests information as to where those files are located at. It gets this information from the DNS server. | 12:46 |
| IdleOne | DarkSector: GIMP was removed from the Default install to make room - f-spot is the default and for those who need a more full featured app they can easily install GIMP | 12:46 |
| drizzt_ | DarkSector, gimp is not the best application to advertise Ubuntu, Linux or FOSS | 12:46 |
| DarkSector | drizzt_: but it certainly helps | 12:47 |
| DarkSector | IdleOne: oic ...alright I'll install it from the repos | 12:47 |
| idlecool | TrentH: each ISP maintains its own DNS server?? | 12:47 |
| IdleOne | DarkSector: :) | 12:47 |
| TrentH | idlecool: exactly ^-^ | 12:47 |
| idlecool | TrentH: dns convert domain names to ip addresses, so if i give a ip address of someother dns sever then it should work!! ryt! | 12:49 |
| IdleOne | !opendns | 12:49 |
| ubottu | To set up OpenDNS in Ubuntu, see https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu | 12:49 |
| brindlem | anyone know how to update my xorg drivers from nvidia to ati? | 12:49 |
| TrentH | idlecool: It should, but I think the reason your internet stops working is because the DNS server isn't setup correctly and your modem is going hey theres no PC connected to me. | 12:50 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: install envy | 12:50 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: cool, thanks i'll look it up | 12:50 |
| === kthomas_vh_ is now known as thomas_vh | ||
| === thomas_vh is now known as kthomas_vh | ||
| TrentH | Anyways, i'll brb. | 12:51 |
| kaie | hello. using 10.04. I'm using manual cryptsetup with a partition, which is one user's home dir. At system startup, I would like an optional prompt to unlock this drive, but if I cancel, I want the system to continue without | 12:52 |
| kaie | I haven't found a way to do this yet. Adding cryptdisks_start to /etc/rc.local didn't show me the prompt, instead it just boots into X | 12:52 |
| drizzt_ | i would not use 3-rd party DNS servers, who knows what they harvest your requests for | 12:52 |
| kaie | but if I use "auto" in /etc/crypttab, it will continue to prompt me, with no ability to skip/cancel | 12:52 |
| idlecool | TrentH: hmm.. i got dns conf for my ISP while searching on google.. :) gonna check wether it works or not!! hey what is local ip and remote ip? | 12:52 |
| TrentH | idlecool: I'm back ^-^ | 12:56 |
| idlecool | :) | 12:57 |
| idlecool | TrentH: hmm.. i got dns conf for my ISP while searching on google.. :) gonna check wether it works or not!! hey what is local ip and remote ip? | 12:57 |
| TrentH | idlecool: local ip is always 192.168.0.1 and remote is what your ISP gives to you. | 12:57 |
| idlecool | TrentH: then what is 127.0.0.1 | 12:58 |
| TrentH | idlecool: your modems local ip? | 12:58 |
| idlecool | hmm.. got it | 12:58 |
| jrib | TrentH: well local is what your router gives you I guess :) | 12:58 |
| DarkSector | idlecool: thats localhost, like when you install apache you get a local server address | 12:59 |
| TrentH | ah yes thats it ^-^ | 12:59 |
| TrentH | My router assigned me 192.168.0.1 | 12:59 |
| TrentH | and so forth for the other PC | 12:59 |
| DarkSector | what your router gives you is not local address | 12:59 |
| idlecool | if someone in our local network wants to connect to my system then he uses the local ip, if i want to connect to my system then it is 127.0.0.1 | 12:59 |
| DarkSector | its remote | 12:59 |
| DarkSector | idlecool: yeah | 12:59 |
| idlecool | TrenthH, DarkSector: Thanx for assistance! i am going off line to configure my DNS settings on ubuntu.. byee.. :) | 13:02 |
| DarkSector | idlecool: best of luck | 13:02 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: mmm, it seems envyng has been replaced with jockey, in 10.04, and that only detects my tv card. Any more ideas? | 13:02 |
| idlecool | thanx :) | 13:02 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: you want xorg to use ati drivers right ? | 13:03 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: yeah, xorg log says it's still using nvidia. I want 3d support for virtual box | 13:03 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: virtual box ! I think thats a whole seperate issue | 13:04 |
| brindlem | it is, but i have no 3d support on my host until i get the right driver | 13:04 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: so are you using nvidia or ati ? | 13:05 |
| brindlem | ati now | 13:05 |
| gidna | Hi | 13:05 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: ok, so doesn't it autodetect it ? | 13:05 |
| gidna | How can I compress a flv file? | 13:05 |
| brindlem | it would appear not. one sec... | 13:05 |
| DarkSector | gidna: compress as in compress zip tar.gz or minimize size of flv file | 13:05 |
| mdg3 | hello | 13:05 |
| HNO_2 | how do i install graphics drivers if it's not listed in the Hardware Devices? | 13:06 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: lspci gives - 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530 [Radeon X1600] | 13:06 |
| DarkSector | gidna: for the former, you can right click and compress | 13:06 |
| gidna | it reduces the size of just 2 Mb | 13:06 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: don't worry about lspci, its job is to show what's in or not, you need to go to system > admin > hardware drivers | 13:06 |
| DarkSector | gidna: not sure but I think ffmpeg does that | 13:07 |
| RanyAlbeg | Hello all, i have a problem with a single USB stick - only this stick is not being auto mounted.can you give me the possible reasons for this issue? thanks/ | 13:07 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: I was gonna say that the line from Xorg was saying: (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so (II) Module glx: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" | 13:07 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: wrong filesystem? a or no partitions? | 13:07 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector what if there's no driver listed? that's my prob | 13:07 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: you know the version of your card ? I used to use envy for that kinda thing | 13:08 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: so you get no prompt whatsoever of hardware drivers detected ? | 13:08 |
| brindlem | DarkSector: using the menu just runs jockey and it shows a line for my dvb card | 13:09 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: can you be more specific? what do you mean by wrong and no partitions? | 13:09 |
| DarkSector | brindlem: oh, gimme a minute then | 13:09 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: whiche filesystem do you have on your usb stick? | 13:09 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: and do you have a partition or not? | 13:10 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, lshw says ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 version 00 | 13:10 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: check what dmesg says when you insert the stick? | 13:10 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: hang on | 13:10 |
| gidna | How can I remove the password request to restore from the the screen saver | 13:10 |
| gidna | ? | 13:10 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: ok , i'll give you the output in just a sec | 13:10 |
| tarzeau | gidna: you can remove the screensaver | 13:10 |
| jrib | gidna: system -> preferences -> screensaver | 13:11 |
| DarkSector | brindlem HNO_2 go to ubuntu software manager search for ati, check ati binary xorg driver and install | 13:12 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: http://sprunge.us/NPhW can you tell what you see and understand ? thanks | 13:12 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector I installed the xorg radeon pakages already, plus the fglrx..still nothing shows | 13:13 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: ocrap, ok /me searches | 13:13 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, thanks alot | 13:13 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: i can see an usb thing is detected, it has a partition, and it's called /dev/sdb1 | 13:14 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: it's not in /media/SOMEWHERE? | 13:14 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, I could try the radeonHD but i heard it's been merged into radeon so i guess that shouldnt make a big difference right | 13:14 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: I found certain links, going through them, hang on a sec | 13:15 |
| === alema0ff is now known as alema0 | ||

| koichirose | hello. I can't change some theme settings (for example folder icons). I click on the settings and nothing happens. I'm stuck with "Clearlooks". Using 10.04 | 13:16 |

| tarzeau | luist: if it's YOUR server, you can just rsync all the stuff | 13:17 |
| R_001 | is there any channel for business, software business or any kind of business ? | 13:17 |
| luist | tarzeau, i cant access it with rsync... gota access as a url | 13:17 |
| ChaosR | hello people, I think I have an corrupted microsd card (16gb), are there any tools for ubuntu to do a low level analysis? | 13:18 |
| tarzeau | luist: you could use lftp http://myserver.com/some/path/to/repository/101 and then mirror, see help inside lftp | 13:18 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: No , actually the main purpose of this low-storage USB stick is to hold some small tar files - a small backup files which i want to create automatically. I wrote a udev rule for that stick and all is working fine but no auto mount. | 13:18 |
| ChaosR | everytime I write data to it, some folders will contain nothing but random gibberish | 13:18 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, wipe it and reformat it? | 13:19 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: hahaha. if it's small, create a gmail account, send it there by mail | 13:19 |
| tarzeau | RanyAlbeg: crontab rule to do it daily? | 13:19 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, so does that mean there's no support for the x1400 from ati? | 13:19 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: done that several times, doesnt solve the problem | 13:19 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: I have another USB stick and he is being auto mounted each time i plug it in. | 13:19 |
| vega | luist: man wget it's all there.. and google | 13:19 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: I even did a cat /dev/zero > /dev/sdc | 13:19 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: read the forum again ! 9.10 supports x1400 fully ! | 13:20 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, dd is a better command for that but oh well, you have a dead sd card then | 13:20 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: pretty sure 10.04 does it too...I'll keep on searching you take a look @ all pages | 13:20 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: but not all of it is dead, its really odd | 13:21 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 13:21 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: thats a nice idea in itself.But - is it so difficult to restore some settings i might have changed? | 13:21 |

| daedeloth | Greetings. I'm having very serious issues with Rhythmbox, it seems to be impossible to change my music folder | 13:21 |
| cheater99 | hi.. | 13:22 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, what you mean my analysis it ~? if it can't write and read correctly it is dead. unlike hard drivee there is not way to "bad sector" it . | 13:22 |
| cheater99 | my synaptics touchpad doesn't seem to work.. can someone help me troubleshoot it? | 13:23 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: some files remain in a perfect state, others get corrupted, I dont even know if its just the filesystem tables or the data itself | 13:23 |
| RanyAlbeg | tarzeau: I must have accidentally changed some settings related to this specific fs | 13:23 |
| lightbricko1 | I'm using GtkTerm to monitor the serial port, but it only keeps 128 kb of data in memory, and I need to save more than that to a file. Is there some similar application I can use for this? | 13:23 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: it doesnt seem to affect files, just folders, dmesg complains a lot about wrong fat tables | 13:24 |
| drizzt_ | daedeloth, I would recommend replacing it with Banshee, if you don't need iTunes emulation | 13:25 |
| FyreFoX | hi is there a link to what to actually do for these new 'advanced format' hard drives? | 13:25 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, you said you wipe it and formatted it serval times... but you can do it again and see ~ or pick another fs ? | 13:26 |
| daedeloth | banshee... let's see :) | 13:26 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: see ~ ?, and trying another fs is on my todo list | 13:26 |
| DarkSector | daedeloth: banshee also does itunes emulation also exaile is a good pick, but best would be amarok | 13:27 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, fat can get corrupted if you didn't umount be4 eject the card, btw. | 13:27 |
| daedeloth | I don't like amarok a lot since it messes up with my playback devices | 13:27 |
| drizzt_ | amarok has many kde dependencies a | 13:28 |
| DarkSector | drizzt_: yeah lots of qt4 dependencies | 13:28 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: did that in all tries | 13:28 |
| DarkSector | banshee and exaile are good | 13:28 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: unmount before removal | 13:28 |
| crocket | Does ubuntu 10.04 lucid have firewall on by default? | 13:28 |
| iceroot | crocket: no | 13:28 |
| j0rd | anyone have a good howto on how to install php 5.2 for ubuntu 10.04 | 13:28 |
| crocket | I can't connect to port 3389 of ubuntu machine. | 13:28 |
| DarkSector | newsflash: install LAMP individually don't install lamp^ | 13:28 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, I'm confused..so some recommend apparently to use fglrx while others say it will only work with the default open source driver | 13:29 |
| bastid_raZor | crocket: normally you need a service listening on a port before it is open | 13:29 |
| j0rd | crocket: bound to 127.0.0.1 probably | 13:29 |
| vega | crocket: and also it doesn't have any ports open by default, other than localhost perhaps | 13:29 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, try badblocks -s -n on it and see if it pop any errors. | 13:29 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: fglrx support is discontinued for x1400, you need to use the default I guess | 13:29 |
| j0rd | crocket: netstat -an | grep 3389 to figure out what IP it's bound to if any | 13:29 |
| crocket | vega : do you mean all ports are blocked by default? | 13:29 |
| vega | crocket: no, i mean there's nothing listening | 13:29 |
| crocket | There is one. | 13:29 |
| crocket | VBoxHeadless listens to it | 13:30 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, yea it looks like it..i mean it's fine for now though I obviously want to use compiz etc.. | 13:30 |
| crocket | I run a virtualbox VRDP server. | 13:30 |
| Samus_Aran | how can I uninstall the Gnome network thing in 10.04 ? I want to use /etc/network/interfaces rather than the GUI one. | 13:30 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: will try that | 13:30 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: you know its strange how many people complain with ati, Nvidia is cool man...no problem whatsoever | 13:30 |
| bastid_raZor | crocket: run this: sudo netstat -napt ..does port 3389 say vmbox is listening? | 13:30 |
| crocket | j0rd : netstat -an | grep 3389 ----> tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 13:31 |
| iceroot | crocket: no port is blocked by default. they are just not opened because there is nothing running on that port | 13:31 |
| DarkSector | crocket: pastebin dude | 13:31 |
| j0rd | crocket: told you . bound to 127.0.0.1 which means you can only connect from local host | 13:31 |
| crocket | "tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3389 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 3242/VBoxHeadless" | 13:31 |
| iceroot | crocket: not running on eth0 | 13:31 |
| crocket | It's wlan0 | 13:32 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, i know, and after nvidia got all longterm contracts with apple and so, you would consider ati to maybe do something about the open source community to stay in, but nothing | 13:32 |
| iceroot | crocket: just running on lo | 13:32 |
| crocket | hmm... | 13:32 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: it is trying though | 13:32 |
| crocket | Should I bind it to an IP my router assigned? | 13:32 |
| j0rd | crocket: you have to bind it to an external IP, if you want to connect to it from another computer | 13:32 |
| crocket | j0rd : How did you know it was the case? | 13:32 |
| j0rd | crocket: experience | 13:33 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, yea true, on my own machine i have an hd 2400 which has buggy support in xp already, though in 10.4 it works perfectly fine | 13:33 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, in 8.04 it wasn't that nice | 13:33 |
| j0rd | crocket: although, i thought 3389 was mysql :) | 13:33 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: well if i find something else for your problem I'll sure to let you know, and you let me know if you solve it somehow | 13:33 |

| Samus_Aran | DarkSector: ATI/AMD are not "trying"... Intel, there's a company that is actually trying. they are the only one with modern open source drivers | 13:34 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, i dunno..maybe this laptop just shouldn't run 10.04? i could use gutsy or jaunty instead | 13:34 |
| j0rd | crocket: that's a pretty specific question on software i don't use. quick answer probably. long answer, i have no idea | 13:35 |
| BPower | bastid_raZor, thanks i'll try that and be back soon | 13:35 |
| crocket | j0rd : It can be applied to softwares in general | 13:35 |
| Samus_Aran | crocket: ask in #VBox :) | 13:35 |
| crocket | ok | 13:35 |
| DarkSector | Samus_Aran: sure thing | 13:35 |
| DarkSector | HNO_2: lol now thats tragedy | 13:35 |
| Samus_Aran | I just wish they would release actual dedicated PCI Express cards, rather than only integrated GPUs for laptops and motherboards | 13:36 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: what was the command again, sorry, closed the window on accident | 13:36 |
| BPower | bastid_raZor, what was it again? My clipboard didn't copy it for some reason | 13:37 |
| j0rd | Samus_Aran: i think with laptops that comes down to size/heat/power issues | 13:37 |
| bastid_raZor | BPower: sudo service gdm stop | 13:37 |
| chilli0 | Is there a Empathy channel? If not how can I unblock contacts from msn on it. | 13:37 |
| BPower | bastid_raZor, thanks, got it this time. be back soon | 13:37 |
| crocket | chilli0 : go to irc.gimp.org | 13:37 |
| crocket | irc.gimp.org accomodates lots of GNOME application channels. | 13:37 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, badblock -s -n <dev>; or badblock -s -w <dev>; for faster read-write but data will be gone | 13:37 |
| HNO_2 | DarkSector, mh well..it's not my machine, so as long as it works i guess i'm good ^^ | 13:38 |
| chilli0 | crocket, Thanks. | 13:38 |
| Samus_Aran | j0rd: I mean Intel produces decent integrated stuff, with the only purely open-source drivers out there. it just sucks that I can't go to a store and buy an Intel PCI Express 3D card | 13:38 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: data is corrupt anyway, hehe | 13:38 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, lol | 13:38 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: how many times will badblocks write to the disk, as I don't want to shorten the lifespan | 13:39 |
| ChaosR | drive* | 13:39 |
| ChaosR | :P | 13:39 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, just 1 unless you do multipule pass | 13:39 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: that should be okay then, thanks a lot | 13:40 |
| Samus_Aran | ChaosR: is that a flash disk ? | 13:40 |
| ChaosR | Samus_Aran: yes | 13:40 |
| Samus_Aran | ChaosR: most of the flash disks these days have pretty reliable data storage (in terms of the number of times that data can be written before it dies). it's more likely the integrated circuit boards that are crappy quality | 13:41 |
| wildbat | Samus_Aran, agree ~ | 13:42 |
| ChaosR | Samus_Aran: yeh, but if it was going to do a couple of hundreds of tests, that would be annoying | 13:42 |
| Samus_Aran | (which manifests are lots of random USB connection problems) | 13:42 |
| rocket16 | Hello all, :) | 13:42 |
| Samus_Aran | ChaosR: most flash media these days can handle millions of writes per sector. :) it has come a long way. | 13:42 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, btw, have to test with other sd card? ~ it is the only one have that problem ? | 13:43 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, have you* | 13:43 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: its the only one with a problem | 13:43 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: my 8gb one doesnt complain at all | 13:43 |
| DarkSector | !hi rocket1 | 13:44 |
| Samus_Aran | it's the USB hubs, USB circuit boards, USB card readers, etc. that tend to do the dying | 13:44 |
| DarkSector | !hi | rocket16 | 13:44 |
| ubottu | rocket16: 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! | 13:44 |

| rocket16 | DarkSector: Lol, I am not new, and am already a regular member here, :D Still, thank you | 13:44 |
| Netrum | Hi all :) | 13:44 |
| DarkSector | rocket16: yeah :D I just love doing that | 13:44 |
| rocket16 | Hello Netrum | 13:44 |
| DarkSector | Netrum: you don't get anything :DF | 13:45 |
| Netrum | :P | 13:45 |
| rocket16 | DarkSector: Ha ha, :D Great, :) | 13:45 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: -s is supposed to "Show the progress of the scan by writing out the block numbers as they are checked.", but I don't really see any block numbers being written to stdout :P | 13:45 |

| Netrum | i installed ubuntu on a spare hardrive a few days ago. dual booting with win 7. and since that i havent touched windows at all. | 13:46 |
| Samus_Aran | ChaosR: are you trying to recover data from the disk ? | 13:46 |
| al-tabq | after installing an update yesterday my internet doesn't work anymore. actually, no network works anymore..clicking on the network applet gives "NETWORK DISABLED", ifconfig shows no eth, iwconfig says wlan0 [...] powermanagement:off, which is true, but i can't activate the wireless anymore either way | 13:46 |
| DarkSector | Netrum: I boot into win7 just to play crysis | 13:46 |
| ChaosR | Samus_Aran: nah, just looking for bad blocks | 13:46 |
| wildbat | ChaosR, it should be like : Testing with random pattern: 1.43% done, 0:04 elapsed | 13:46 |
| ChaosR | wildbat: ah, that happens yes, I just expected a big list of "Block 0 done, Block 1 done, etc" | 13:47 |
| rocket16 | al-tabq: No worry, just right-click the network applet, and check Enable Networking, :) | 13:47 |
| rocket16 | al-tabq: Also, select Enable Wireless too, :) | 13:48 |
| progre55 | hi guys, I need to add a user into my remote server.. and the user should have no pass, but use a public/private key to log in | 13:48 |
| progre55 | how do I do that? | 13:48 |
| * [SMiTTY] really wishes that Empathy gets proxy support soon. Terrible to replace Pidgin with Empathy until it was ready for prime time! | 13:48 | |
| luist | how do i enable Page Up and Page Down to search over commands like in suse? | 13:48 |
| shamoun | hey guys, i just did a new install of ubuntu 9.04 on this system and launched my update manager to update it. but it shows a new version 9.10 instead of 10.04, is this correct because 10.04 is LTS or do i need to do something? | 13:48 |
| === alema0 is now known as alema0ff | ||
| Galerien | [SMiTTY]: +1 | 13:48 |
| * rocket16 considers Pidgin to be far ahead of Empathy | 13:48 | |
| Samus_Aran | progre55: I'm not sure how to do it "properly", but I can tell you how I would do it. :) | 13:49 |
| DarkSector | rocket16: oreally? do you get to vid chat in pidgin ? | 13:49 |
| al-tabq | rocket16 aaaaaaaaaah why was that so easy!! i was searching for an hour yesterday night, trying to fix it | 13:49 |
| progre55 | Samus_Aran: lol =) well, at least that ) | 13:49 |
| progre55 | Samus_Aran: so, how to do it? | 13:49 |
| Galerien | I have a question, my rhythmbox tells me that it need wave64 codec... and I don't know how to install them... | 13:49 |
| rocket16 | al-tabq: So, problem solved? :D Enjoy, :) Thanks for the question here | 13:49 |
| Samus_Aran | progre55: that being adding the user, logging in as them, creating the SSH keys, then as root edit /etc/shadow and just delete or add one character to the hash. it will make it impossible to login via password | 13:50 |
| [SMiTTY] | DarkSector, you can't dispute that Empathy SHOULD have proxy support from the get go. Thus it's lacking big time. I don't mind the interface, just give me a FULL featured client | 13:50 |
| Samus_Aran | progre55: "sudo adduser jdoe" then "gksu gedit /etc/shadow". do you already have the SSH keys made ? | 13:50 |
| progre55 | Samus_Aran: sounds nasty =) thanks a lot :) | 13:50 |
| rocket16 | DarkSector: Lol, I don't need Video Chat, and Yes! I can, using the Video Chat Plugin in Pidgin, :D But see, IRC support in Pidgin is much better, since it allows you to add IRC contaacts, which Empathy doesn't. | 13:50 |
| DarkSector | [SMiTTY]: full featured ?! pidgin isn't full featured | 13:51 |
| progre55 | Samus_Aran: yeah I already have the keys and all, thanks man ) | 13:51 |
| DarkSector | rocket16: oh irc i'd always use a seperate client | 13:51 |
| Samus_Aran | progre55: actually, I guess not gksu gedit, if it's a remote server. | 13:51 |
| Samus_Aran | sudo vim :) | 13:51 |
| Samus_Aran | or nano or mcedit or etc. | 13:51 |
| progre55 | just vim | 13:51 |
| progre55 | vim's my fav ) | 13:51 |
| [SMiTTY] | I'm forced to use xchat or bitchx....since I can't get through the corp firewall with empathy :(\ | 13:51 |
| john__ | theres no way my drive has 202 heads, right? | 13:52 |
| Galerien | progre55: or nano, it's easier if you don't know vim | 13:52 |
| j0rd | anyone have a good howto on ubuntu 10.04 and php 5.2? i really wish they would add it into 10.04's repos | 13:52 |
| progre55 | Galerien: no, vim is cool ) | 13:52 |
| Samus_Aran | I've been using Vim since 2002. it keeps getting better as I change and add new settings. :) I just added spell-checking today | 13:52 |
| Galerien | progre55: suit yourself :D, I want to have a life xD | 13:52 |
| rocket16 | DarkSector: Pidgin is like a Communication Centre, which Empathy isn't. Also, Pidgin has many Plugins, which Empathy doesn't, :) The only thing better in Empathy was the Theme (Adium-theme), but now, even Pidgin has that, :D | 13:52 |
| gorilla | question for someone: why is it that when I join #ubuntu that I end up in #ubuntu-unregged? | 13:52 |
| Samus_Aran | I already don't know how I lived without it all these years. :p | 13:52 |
| j0rd | [SMiTTY]: irssi is good too, if you want a terminal client you can use via ssh | 13:52 |
| xXedixXx | Hello, can anyone help me with creating a package? Which is a Java program? | 13:52 |
| Pici | gorilla: because you aren't identified when you try to join. | 13:52 |
| [SMiTTY] | j0rd, gracias | 13:53 |
| Samus_Aran | irssi and WeeChat are both *excellent* IRC clients. | 13:53 |
| rocket16 | DarkSector: Still, there is no best application. For you, Empathy is better, while for me, Pidgin is better, :) | 13:53 |
| DarkSector | rocket16: sure thing | 13:53 |
| john__ | gord, probably has something to do with !register | 13:53 |
| Galerien | I'm using xchat but I don't like it... what would be your choice guys? | 13:53 |
| Pici | !best | 13:53 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 13:53 |
| Nikolai_D | guys, how do i get to vmware server management console | 13:53 |
| Nikolai_D | ? | 13:53 |
| john__ | gord, sorry. gorilla , probably has something to do with <strikeout>!register</strikeout> /msg nickserv help | 13:53 |
| Galerien | Pici: I know, 'im just asking what you are using | 13:54 |
| Samus_Aran | Galerien: list the things you liked and disliked about X-Chat. | 13:54 |
| * rocket16 loves Ubuntu-IRC! | 13:54 | |
| Samus_Aran | Galerien: then we can offer an educated suggestion of other IRC clients you might want to give a try to | 13:54 |
| TrentH | Somebody help... | 13:54 |
| gorilla | Pici: Ahh.. but I am according to Nickserv | 13:55 |
| TrentH | How do I edit my DNS servers? | 13:55 |
| * Gerwin reminds some people of #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 13:55 | |
| Pici | gorilla: I'd be glad to explain further in -offtopic | 13:55 |
| [SMiTTY] | TrentH, that's a loaded question. depends on the registrar you have your domain with | 13:55 |
| Pici | Gerwin: :) | 13:55 |
| TrentH | [SMiTTY]: It's my ISP name servers I can't get my router to work. | 13:56 |

| * Gerwin takes screenshot | 13:56 | |
| rocket16 | Can Geany's support be extanded for more languages in Ubuntu? | 13:56 |
| Galerien | Samus_Aran: I want something I don't need mouse to controle, like ALT + right or left to browse in different #chan (and some multilanguage spell sheck would be nice...) | 13:56 |
| skeledrew | hello. is there any detailed specifications on how Wubi and Lupin works/what exactly they do? | 13:56 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | any one know of any online courses for ubuntu | 13:56 |
| Samus_Aran | TrentH: if you have a router then it should be providing computers their IPs and DNS addresses (which will be of the router's IP address, not the ISPs DNS servers) | 13:56 |
| Samus_Aran | TrentH: that is part of DHCP | 13:56 |
| wildbat | where is the proper way to change MAC address if i want it change on everyboot? | 13:57 |
| Samus_Aran | TrentH: the router in turn must collect the DNS servers from the ISPs DHCP | 13:57 |
| TrentH | Samus_Aran: Then tell me...when I plugin my modem to my router it doesn't work I can't visit google.com but I can ping the routers IP. | 13:57 |
| harry-houdini1 | anyone know what the trick is to get right mouse button funtion to work in 10.04 i added the following line to xorg.conf Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" and rebooted but still not working | 13:57 |
| mlkjh | hello | 13:57 |
| TrentH | Samus_Aran: I had it working before, in windows I had to edit the DNS settings. | 13:57 |
| mlkjh | i try to reconfigure my graphical card | 13:57 |
| Nikolai_D | guys how do i get to vmware management console please?:) | 13:57 |
| Samus_Aran | TrentH: http://74.125.127.104/ << can you get to that page ? | 13:58 |
| mlkjh | when i do ctrl alt F1 | 13:58 |
| rocket16 | skeledrew: Wubi nearly works on any Windows platform. It creates Virtual Disks in Windows Drives (FAT/NTFS) and allows Ubuntu to be installed without partitioning. But it might be a bit slow, compared to normal performance. I don't know much about Lupin though. Also, Wubi needs a minimum of 3GB free space to install Ubuntu. | 13:58 |
| mlkjh | it asks for a login when i enter my login | 13:58 |
| mlkjh | don't work | 13:58 |
| mlkjh | what to do ? | 13:58 |
| mlkjh | help plz | 13:58 |
| c0ins__ | how can i work out whether my graphics card driver is loaded , xbuntu | 13:58 |
| FloodBot4 | mlkjh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:58 |
| rocket16 | !wubi | skeledrew | 13:58 |
| ubottu | skeledrew: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting.

| c0ins__ | ty | 13:59 |
| Samus_Aran | mlkjh: if you are already logged in graphically, you won't be able to login a second time graphically (unless you modify the GDM settings) | 13:59 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | any one know of any online courses for ubuntu | 13:59 |
| mlkjh | what to do ? | 13:59 |
| Samus_Aran | mlkjh: if you have just lost where your graphic login is located, try Ctrl+Alt+F7 | 13:59 |
| skeledrew | rocke | 13:59 |
| DarkSector | cr45h-0v3r1d3: yeah irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu | 14:00 |
| Galerien | brb | 14:00 |
| mlkjh | not working | 14:00 |
| Samus_Aran | mlkjh: you need to explain your problem more clearly so people can offer help | 14:00 |
| rocket16 | mlkjh: That will be because the Virtual Console allows several parallel sessions, as Ubuntu (Linux) is Multi-user Multi-tasking. So, that will ask you the login and password. If you want the same functionality, use a Terminal Emulator. | 14:00 |
| skeledrew | rocket16: i already know all that. what i want are detailed specs on the internal workings | 14:00 |
| DarkSector | mlkjhL explain your problem please | 14:00 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | no i mean cources that i dont have to wait for answers lol | 14:00 |
| rocket16 | mlkjh: gnome-terminal will do the task. | 14:00 |
| drewprod | hi ppl :) | 14:01 |
| DarkSector | cr45h-0v3r1d3: I don't think there is any such course, you could have a guide though, www.psychocats.net | 14:01 |

| Galerien | back | 14:02 |
| drewprod | or yes closed update-manager | 14:02 |
| rocket16 | wangzirui: It means that some other Package manager is working in the background. Simply reboot, and it will solve the problem. | 14:02 |
| wangzirui | How to close them? | 14:02 |
| mlkjh | i try to reconfigure graphical card when i do ctrl+ALT+F1 it gives me several option | 14:02 |
| mlkjh | when i got login in console mode | 14:02 |
| DarkSector | wangzirui: if you don't see their icon, you could go to gnome-monitor and close processes | 14:02 |
| Galerien | Samus_Aran: so, any though about the IRC client? | 14:03 |
| mlkjh | once i choose this one it ask for login and when i enter my login it don't work | 14:03 |
| Samus_Aran | Galerien: did you list what you liked and disliked about X-Chat ? | 14:03 |
| skeledrew | rocket16: Lupin is the Linux side second stage that completes the install after the first reboot | 14:03 |
| DarkSector | mlkjh: so are you saying you're stuck on a black screen with only login ? | 14:03 |
| mlkjh | yes | 14:03 |
| mlkjh | correct | 14:03 |
| Galerien | Samus_Aran: I need a mouse to use it and I can't get mutli language spell check working on it... | 14:03 |

| Pici | ABIIY: /var/log/auth.log will mention when a cron job starts. | 14:06 |
| scarface | How do I invoke a Suspend from the CLI? Like for shutdown I can do "sudo shutdown -h now". What's the equivalent for Suspend? | 14:06 |

| DarkSector | mlkjh: and do you see the screen or again the black screen ? | 14:08 |

| rocket16 | mlkjh: I think, you installed ATI Driver or NVidia Driver, didn't you? | 14:09 |
| mlkjh | nvidia | 14:09 |
| DarkSector | lol there's the problem | 14:09 |
| mlkjh | ubuntu is runing in low graphic mode when i click ok | 14:09 |

| DarkSector | mlkjh: troubleshoot | 14:10 |
| TrentH | I fixed the router! | 14:11 |
| skeledrew | rocket16: what i want to do is modify the Wubi source so it's more generic, and so will work with other downline distros of Ubuntu that don't support it. such as PeppermintOS http://peppermintos.com/ | 14:11 |
| TrentH | I took it and threw it on the floor. | 14:11 |
| rocket16 | mlkjh: Remove the NVidia driver with this command: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-common | 14:11 |
| DarkSector | TrentH: great ! now write up a small report and save it, others might have the same problem, you can forward them your solution | 14:12 |
| koichirose | hello. I can't change some theme settings (for example folder icons). I click on the settings and nothing happens. I'm stuck with "Clearlooks". Using 10.04 | 14:12 |

| [Lloyd] | Hello again Galerien - I want to use my wireless card as an extender/repeater as well as using it as I currently do to connect to my router. I know this is possible in Win7 with some wireless cards. | 14:15 |
| phlak_user | justine777w: have you connected it? i normally find that most printers are detected automagically by Ubuntu | 14:15 |
| cr45h-0v3r1d3 | yeah but it all done threw programming | 14:16 |
| Exxon | hi | 14:16 |

| Galerien | [Lloyd]: hello again, I don't really understand what it means... go there and tell me if that's what you wanna do : [Lloyd]: if so : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 14:16 |
| justine777w | phlak_user: what do you mean by connected it? to the computer? yes. I know that there is a way because i read it in forums but i just do not understand what they are saying. | 14:16 |
| rocket16 | mlkjh: I am sure, there might be a problem related to that. Remember, PAsswords and Usernames are Case-sensitive, | 14:16 |

| Jolz | cr45h-0v3r1d3, those are normal gui programs, built on gtk or qt or another gui framework. as a programming language you can use anything with bindings for those frameworks, maybe python if you're new to programming? | 14:20 |

| wildbat | mmarker, 64MB isn't a good idea to run 2.6 kernel ~ you may want other distr based on 2.4 | 14:29 |
| phlak_user | justine777w: I know, go to System-Administration-Printing ; select the printer, right-click select properties, click on "Change" in Device Make & Model and change it to Lexmark | 14:29 |
| Blade-Runner | darkknightcz, insert the usb it will auto mount | 14:30 |
| justine777w | phlak_user: I can not do that. I tried. There is a long process according to the forums, but I tried that once before and it did not work. | 14:30 |

| SpeedyGonzalez | Hi everybody: I need some help please regarding GNOME. The problem I can't resolve is that when I start a Gnome session, I am now... no longer to work with several windows, despite the fact that I even konfigurated 20 Desktops. Now the game is this: Gome starts and I do have a chance to start a program, say firefox... but then... I can access ONLY the Firefox Window. Before I was able to start something else on a paralell basis, say | 15:07 |
| SpeedyGonzalez | , for example, a etrminal or gimp. Now the window places on the left top of the screen and I have a de-facto single program Desktop... Can somebody please help me, because I have experienced this thing on all my computers running new versions of ubuntu and even on a Debian testing. I feel so stupid :-( . I would appreciate any help so much, Thank you in advance so much! | 15:07 |

Does anyone knows what may cause this? | 15:26 |
| geekyogi | I kinda dont like traditional file copy handler in xwindow.. Ubuntu.. coz.. file copying is not queued.. rather the transfer speed is shared between multiple transfer sessions.. is there anyother package that supports queuing in gnome.? | 15:26 |

| tavis | I have installed t1-xfree86-nonfree in an attempt to install the ibm-courier scalable font. However after the package install the font has not seemed to register. A xlsfonts does not show the installed font(s). I have checked that the fonts are installed in /usr/share/fonts/type1/t1-xfree86-nonfree. I have also run a sudo fc-cache -f -v to update the font cache and have rebooted the system. Font is still not available. Ideas? | 15:38 |

| onetinsoldier | greezmunkey: roger. good luck with setting up your servers and all | 15:39 |
| xoen | @ActionParsnip maybe it's better don't know the meaning of "yikes" right :D? I've tried other solutions but the problem still exists so I've removed it, but it should be OK because is in /var/cache right? | 15:39 |

| Cajun_Lan_Man | What do you all think about using "older" wireless routers? I've got an older Linksys WRT54GL. My concern is that it used to get firmware updates all the time to patch new security issues. However, the firmware hasn't been updated since early '08. It does currently support WPA2, but I'm just wondering if I should be concerned enough about it to warrant purchasing a new router. Thoughts? | 15:46 |
| jcordeiro | Night_Elf|food: im using shorewall, can you still help me? | 15:46 |
| moistrot | sorry man, | 15:47 |
| phlak_user | Cajun_Lan_Man: you're lucky, you can replace the firmware on your WRT54GL with openwrt or dd-wrt but thats off this channel | 15:47 |
| Night_Elf|food | Cajun_Lan_Man: in my opinion, that model of wireless router/ap is one of the best | 15:47 |
| phlak_user | _tydeas_: you also mentioned that the workstation has its own firewall; is it allowing port 22 connection requests? | 15:48 |
| Night_Elf|food | Cajun_Lan_Man: and yes, as phlak_user mentioned, consider dd-wrt. I've put it in ALL the wrt54gl(s) I've laied my hands on | 15:48 |
| Cajun_Lan_Man | Night_Elf|food, I had heard of it. I'm glad to hear of someone else using it though. | 15:49 |

| ActionParsnip | Inpetto: sudo apt-get install packagename | 15:51 |
| Night_Elf|food | Cajun_Lan_Man: It's not complicated. It's just that there exist several sub-models, as you mentioned, because of the firmware updates that linksys has made for them. The procedure for installing the dd-vrt image will slightly differ depending on what firmware you have in your thing. | 15:51 |

| userone | when i use my t-mobile usb modem on windows 7 i get a download speed of 375kbps. when i use the same device on ubuntu (same dual boot laptop) i only get a download speed of 45kbps. anyone any ideas whats going on, or how i can improve the speed on ubuntu? (speed tested using speedtest.net) | 16:05 |
| edbian | getxsick, You can create an entry for it in /etc/fstab and then it will be mounted in whatever folder you want. It will still have that label though, you just probably won't see it anywhere. | 16:05 |
| edbian | lonewolf, It's part of "notification area" applet | 16:06 |
| Richiie | im just wondering if it is possible to create a custom keyboard shortcut to close a terminal | 16:06 |
| lonewolf | edbian, yeah but it is not showing up ? | 16:06 |
| FailPowah | everynow and then when i boot ubuntu up, it fail in the middle because some udev problem (prints out a bunch of errors such as file/folder doesnt exist), if i reboot, it boots up normal | 16:06 |
| dzan | mguy, i get no grub... | 16:06 |
| Richiie | now i did put in my Windows button (Mod4+t) = run a terminal | 16:06 |
| lonewolf | Normally it show connected or disconnected status, but it is not showing | 16:06 |
| edbian | userone, I would guess it's because of a less efficient driver in linux. I have no idea how to improve it. (re-write the driver? ) | 16:06 |
| Richiie | but im trying to create mod4+d = close a terminal insted of using alt + f4 how do i do ? i created a custom shortcut but it dosent work | 16:06 |
| dzan | mguy, no grub menu but would it pop up? it's the only os on the system | 16:06 |
| edbian | lonewolf, Did you edit /etc/network/interfaces? | 16:06 |
| mguy | dzan: You may have to boot from a live CD in console mode and fix it from there | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | MacHead: theres a PPA here, the echo command will fail, so just run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and paste the text in manually | 16:07 |

| onetinsoldier | jorgelinux: well, that isn't going to work. i think you need /lib/modules/<kernel-version> ...or you'll just be spinning your wheels | 16:08 |
| edbian | userone, I feel the same way about it. I'm rather clueless :( | 16:08 |
| dzan | mguy, you meant like on the site the missing xorg.conf ? it should be missing on my system right? i have no x installed? only terminal? | 16:09 |
| jorgelinux | onetinsoldier, how can I add the modules to /lib/modules ? | 16:09 |
| MacHead | actionparsnip, don't have a clue what I'm doing in this sources list, do I just add the package it failed to get? | 16:09 |

| ActionParsnip | MacHead: ok run the software sources app in system -> administration and remove the chromium ppa | 16:09 |

| Night_Elf`food | dzan: maybe you're having a framebuffer thing | 16:11 |
| lonewolf | edbian, No I did not manually edited /etc/network/interfaces.... at least intentionally I did not | 16:11 |
| edbian | jorgelinux, Usually you add modules to the system using the package manager | 16:11 |

| onetinsoldier | jorgelinux: you're probably missing a package installation like kernel-modules or linux-modules, would be my guess, but don't know | 16:11 |
| edbian | lonewolf, Not sure then. Can you pastebin it? If you start adding things to that file then network manager applet usually stops working (the two would probably conflict) | 16:11 |

| edbian | MacHead, The ubuntu software repos are not updated by the second. I bet that the new chrome will be available in the repos in the next release. You could also download the .tar.gz (I think they have a .deb) from google directly. | 16:14 |

| Slart | iamm: ehm.. can you pastebin the input and output when you try that? | 16:16 |
| MacHead | actionparsnip http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux&hl=en-GB - that's where I got it. Why should it lock up and why does it work for a little while before locking up? | 16:16 |
| badnaam | this is happening for both pgup and pgdown, regardless whether numlock is pressed or not, so basicaly numlock isnt working either | 16:16 |
| iamm | 0.o i've got it too CPAMX thanks | 16:16 |
| Night_Elf`food | dzan: most probably your graphic card doesn't like the framebufer device | 16:16 |
| Night_Elf`food | Question: Does 10.04 use the framebuffer device by default ? | 16:16 |
| lonewolf | edbian, oh ok :( .... anyways thanks for helping :) will continue looking for solution on google or other linux forums | 16:17 |

| Hedegaard | MacHead, a little more information would help; what version 32 or 64 bits -- when it locks up does it give you an error -- what does the log say etc ? | 16:17 |
| NightlyUser | !gparted | BlaDe | 16:17 |
| ubottu | BlaDe: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 16:17 |
| Slart | BlaDe: I don't think you can.. you'll have to copy stuff over and grow one of them after removing the other | 16:18 |
| iamm | Slart, when installing this package bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb | 16:18 |
| MacHead | hedegaard, 32bit, no error, just completely unusable system. Synergy locks up so it loses internet connection. Where do I find me logs? | 16:18 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, could it help if i'd install the nvidia drivers from the terminal then reinstall the graphics card and boot? how can i check if "nouveau" driver is installed? | 16:18 |
| badnaam | well any thoughts? | 16:18 |
| edbian | BlaDe, I can help | 16:18 |
| Slart | iamm: so.. if you write "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" gives you "Error: dependency is not satisfiable : dkms" ? | 16:18 |
| edbian | BlaDe, See my PM?? | 16:18 |
| Night_Elf`food | dzan: the framebuffer device can be disabled with no conseguences, save some prettier fonts on text mode. It won't affect the normal text mode or X. Unless, 10.04 is wired to use the framebuffer for X as an intermediary, but in my opinion, that would have been a bad thing. | 16:19 |
| ente | what does Ign in apt{,itude} output mean? | 16:19 |
| Hedegaard | Night_Elf`food, I doubt that it uses framebuffer device per default - when I work with eg. directFB I enable it in kernel when loading | 16:19 |
| ente | why is the file ignored | 16:19 |
| Pici | hemza: Please ask here. | 16:19 |
| iamm | Slart, nope its for this package i've downloaded from ubuntu: bcmwl-kernel-source_5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb - when running it | 16:19 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, oh oké then i'll try to "blacklist" it like the site said but Hedegaard thinks it doesn't use one | 16:19 |
| Slart | iamm: I can't really help you with that.. haven't used that myself | 16:20 |
| RyanP | How is swap supposed to be turned on? I did something to my system that's resulting in swap not being turned on. If I type "sudo swapon -a" it's enabled. I'm using an encrypted swap partition if that makes a difference. | 16:20 |
| iamm | Slart for that line gives me also oneline: SIOCSSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory | 16:20 |
| Night_Elf`food | Hedegaard: I ask because when I tried the live-cd of 10.04, I saw the screen framebuffered during startup. | 16:20 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, the font of terminal seems ugly :p not anti aliased or something | 16:20 |
| Slart | !swap | RyanP | 16:20 |
| ubottu | RyanP: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | MacHead: chrome is never in beta, chrome is the stable release, chromium is the bleeding edge version. I have heard the newest version of chrome is a lot friendlier and suggest you grab it. | 16:20 |

| vverheijen | is there a channel or wifi hardware related questions? | 16:21 |
| Hedegaard | MacHead, what version (exact) are you using ? | 16:21 |
| Slart | RyanP: having an encrypted swap might mess with that.. since it's not available until you login | 16:21 |
| vverheijen | #wifi and #wlan dont exist | 16:21 |
| NightlyUser | !install | hemza | 16:21 |

| corin_ | hi all - ive installed PPTPd (a VPN server), and it's working fine if I clear out all my iptables rules, but with them in it's not letting any traffic through- could anyone kindly help? (I did ask in #iptables but it's kinda dead) | 16:28 |
| NightlyUser | !sound | Guest94487 | 16:28 |
| ubottu | Guest94487: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:28 |
| hemza | which reader is best .... for pdf format | 16:28 |
| Night_Elf`food | dzan: let me see if there is any other info. But tell me, how does the screen look like? Is it the old 80x25 or there are more characters on the screen ? | 16:28 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, doesn't depend on your gpu or something? | 16:28 |
| sjm | hemza: On the menu go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic for installing packages | 16:28 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, 80:25 i think, looks the same as it always does | 16:29 |
| mozmck_work1 | deostroll: no. I turned off "quiet splash" and I can see where it hangs now, and if I hit Alt+Printscreen+Backspace it gives me some information and allows me to reboot (on one machine - on others no keys would respond) | 16:29 |
| Night_Elf`food | dzan: I'm verifying. Debian usually doesn't use framebufers so never had to bother ;) | 16:29 |

| Night_Elf`food | dzan: I don't know grub2. But what must be checked is whether grub2 itself uses framebuffer splashscreen, and has to ve verified and seen how to disable it | 16:47 |
| dzan | Night_Elf`food, i tought 'un' meant uninstalled and ii meant install | 16:47 |

| wise_crypt | mcl0vin : no problem | 16:57 |

| Innomen | hey all, how can I use disk utility run from a live cd to set the primary boot parition from one drive to another? | 17:51 |
| mr_chris | rrowell: Press escape at the grub prompt and select recovery mode | 17:51 |
| xdpirate | rrowell, this may sound stupid but i've been clueless to why i couldn't get in before, then i noticed my caps lock was on x] | 17:52 |
| rrowell | xdpirate, yeah, that is pretty silly, but we have all been there. That is not my issue however :-( | 17:52 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Primary boot partition ... you mean you select which partition you would boot from, by default? | 17:53 |
| Innomen | kwtm, yes | 17:53 |
| xdpirate | rrowell, as mr_chris said, esc at grub prompt and select recovery | 17:53 |
| rrowell | mr_chris, i'm at the grub prompt, and escape seems to do nothing? | 17:53 |
| rrowell | nm, i see the recovery mode option | 17:53 |
| NightlyUser | !grub2 | rrowell | 17:54 |
| ubottu | rrowell: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 | 17:54 |
| mr_chris | rrowell: Cool. Do you know the rest once you get to a prompt? | 17:54 |
| el_giova | irc.explosionirc.net | 17:54 |
| bobo123 | the printer sharing webpage there doesn't mention 10.04LucidLynx, only Intrepid/Karmic/Jaunty, but I guess it is the same thing | 17:54 |
| rrowell | if it gets me to a root prompt we are golden | 17:54 |
| mr_chris | rrowell: That it will | 17:54 |
| kwtm | Innomen: I think this is what you are asking: you have installed Ubuntu 10.04 but are set up for dual booting so you can choose to boot something else (Windows? Ubuntu 9.10?) You can always choose which partition to boot into (not boot "from") but you want to change the default so you don't have to select it each time. Yes? | 17:54 |
| rrowell | but all I have for now is a hung screen :-( | 17:54 |
| rrowell | maybe my old latitude isn't gonna like 10.4 | 17:55 |
| wise_crypt | bobo123: i can give a hot | 17:55 |
| bobo123 | is it just med that can't remember the 'name' of the version btw? I allways have too look it up in System/About ubuntu every time (that is extremly slow) what name the version has | 17:55 |
| wise_crypt | bobo123: i can give a *shot | 17:55 |
| bobo123 | *me | 17:55 |
| Innomen | kwtm: negative, I am using an Ubuntu live cd to manage a windows machine, I can find no documentation for "disk utility" via Google, I want to for the machine to boot from a given parition (which it sees) I just don't know how to convey my wish to disk utility | 17:55 |
| DanaG | Z!���/^D@��z�g�/3Z!���/^D@��z�g�/3Z!���/^D@�' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment | 17:55 |
| sybariten | wise_crypt: yes i'm here... lets see | 17:55 |
| wise_crypt | bobo123: cat /etc/issue | 17:56 |
| Innomen | I see nothing that looks like "set as primary" or similar | 17:56 |
| bobo123 | ah | 17:56 |
| mr_chris | Has anyone experienced shutdown issues with Xubuntu? I can shutdown from the command line but not from the Xubuntu shutdown button. The screen just blanks and the computer stays on. I can't drop to console after that happens. | 17:56 |
| Innomen | a *current* documentation page for "disk utility" would rock | 17:56 |
| pyrophelia | ok I want to create a *.tar.7z file, how do I do this properly? | 17:57 |
| wise_crypt | bobo123: what version yours right ? | 17:57 |
| kwtm | Innomen: I guess what I'm asking is, what (if any) is allowing you to boot from various partitions in the Windows machine (without using any live CD)? If nothing, then you have to install GRUB (or SmartBoot or some other such program). You can also "install" it on a CD so you don't touch the hard drive, but you would need to insert the CD each time. | 17:57 |
| kwtm | Innomen: If there is already a program such as GRUB, you would need instructions for that specific program. If it's Grub, people here are probably familiar with it. | 17:58 |
| AnxiousNut | how can i write .img files to USB flash disks? imagewriter gives errors! | 17:59 |
| Innomen | kwtm, it currently boots from the windows, I don't need it to multiboot, I just need it to boot from a different drive, is diskutility unable to change which drive has priority? | 17:59 |
| Innomen | kwtm, once it boots from the hp parition its going to wipe the rest of the machine anyway | 17:59 |
| kwtm | Innomen: When you say "disk utility" you seem to be referring to a specific disk utility, but I'm not familiar with this. Does it come with Ubuntu? (I use Kubuntu myself.) | 17:59 |
| rrowell | k, I am in now, thanks mr_chris/xdpirate | 18:00 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Oh, I think I see what you mean. The partition table can set one of the primary partitions (but not a secondary partition) with a boot flag. I think you can do that from fdisk. | 18:00 |
| Innomen | kwtm, yeah that's all its called in Ubuntu 10, "disk utility" (which makes googleing for information about it a DREAM let me tell you) | 18:00 |
| xdpirate | rrowell, :) | 18:00 |
| mr_chris | rrowell: You're welcome | 18:00 |

| NightlyUser | !gparted | Innomen | 18:00 |
| ubottu | Innomen: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 18:00 |
| kwtm | Innomen: fdisk is the basic text-based program; a more sophisticated one is "parted", and there are several GUI's for it, like "gparted" or "qtparted". | 18:01 |
| Innomen | NightlyUser, is this built into the current ubunutu live cd? | 18:01 |
| BentSpace | wise_crypt, Thank you, a little confused though, does CryptBackup encrypt your unencrypted data or does it help you backup your already encrypted data? | 18:01 |
| NightlyUser | Innomen: yes | 18:01 |
| kwtm | Innomen: You'd think QtPartEd is just the KDE (Qt) version of GPartEd, but I've used both and GPartEd has more features. | 18:01 |
| wise_crypt | bugs_bugger: the second i gues | 18:01 |
| Innomen | kwtm, NightlyUser, what operation must I perform with either app? How can I launch gparted? | 18:02 |
| sybariten | well that was quite an ambitious article wise_crypt | 18:02 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Yeah, I notice that Ubuntu has these touchy-feely names like "A Web Browser", which makes things frustrating. | 18:02 |
| sybariten | the most interesting thing though, is that the acer doesnt see the internal SD slot as a boot medium - its direct competitotr asus eee does this | 18:02 |
| wise_crypt | sybariten: eh ? | 18:02 |
| kwtm | Innomen: You can type "gparted" from the command line (boot up Ubuntu live, then go to Terminal). | 18:02 |
| Innomen | kwtm, excellent thank you | 18:02 |
| Stebalien | pyrophelia: You don't need the tar part. Just use '7z a archive-name.7z /path/to/folder'. You can also right click on the folder/file and select create archive. | 18:03 |
| Innomen | NightlyUser, thank you too | 18:03 |
| sybariten | wise_crypt: you gave me a link... remember? | 18:03 |
| Innomen | be right back | 18:03 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Wait... | 18:03 |
| Innomen | yes? | 18:03 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Just tried it on my Kubuntu system and there is no such command... you might have to try "sudo gparted"...I will try now. | 18:03 |
| Innomen | oky | 18:03 |
| Innomen | np | 18:03 |
| bugs_bugger | wise_crypt: jupp | 18:03 |
| NightlyUser | gksudo gparted | 18:03 |
| NightlyUser | its a graphical program | 18:04 |
| wise_crypt | sybariten: yup | 18:04 |
| kwtm | Innomen: Okay, you'd have to "sudo apt-get install gparted" first, but I think it will then install from Live CD and you don't need an internet connection for that. | 18:04 |

| balachmar | Hi, I want to install ubuntu. The computer has 3 drives, 1 with windows, 1 with 9.10 (boot, swap, home) and one just data. I want to remove the old ubuntu install on sdb and use that disk for a new ubuntu install. (backed up all data on the 3rd disk) However the installer only detects sda (the windows disk) | 18:10 |
| nosnumg | I need a version of Java for Ubuntu 10, any ideas? | 18:10 |

| NightlyUser | !java | nosnumg | 18:11 |
| ubottu | nosnumg: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. | 18:11 |

| oxidizer | what is those options | 18:23 |
| wise_crypt | !best | cardamon | 18:24 |
| ubottu | cardamon: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:24 |

| Pici | ubuntuCEO: Join #freenode and ask there | 18:46 |
| bastid_raZor | amerinese: i prefer netstat -napt since it shows established connections too | 18:46 |
| amerinese | hmm, let me give that a try | 18:46 |
| b0n1 | hi how can i open a program on startup ? | 18:46 |
| Loshki | skrite99: then do: cat file.txt | grep 'George|Fred' > georgefile.txt | 18:46 |

| amerinese | bastid: the tip about sudo was good, doesn't throw you an error so i def wouldn't have known i should be able to see all PID/program names | 18:49 |

| Arimil | Loshki: its not a laptop but this has happened before and a reboot always fixes it | 18:50 |

| Arimil | Loshki: I don't have another mouse | 18:54 |
| h00k | cellofellow: For instance, my netbook is a single core with hyperthreading, but it sees that it is another core in system-monitor | 18:54 |
| Loshki | Arimil: beg or borrow one for testing purposes.... | 18:54 |
| cellofellow | h00k: hyperthreading makes it look like multiple cores, but it's not. A hyperthread aware system will realize that and schedule differently so two similar threads don't get assigned the same core simultaneously and slow the system down. | 18:56 |

| noric | phlak_user, to be sure we're talking about same thing, I don't actually want to see firefox. I don't want the display/x streamed over the network. I want to ssh into my server, launch firefox, and have the process "redirect the display to null" | 19:03 |

| ubottu | rocket16: 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! | 19:22 |
| rocket16 | Pepee. sorry I got disconnected last time, ;) So I could not reply to your greeting, :) | 19:22 |
| webPragmatist | is there a trick to increasing entropy or something | 19:23 |
| xteejx | !abuse | phlak_user | 19:23 |
| dzan | acerimmer_, i need minimal install, no X just terminal | 19:23 |
| ubottu | phlak_user: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 19:23 |
| xteejx | oops | 19:23 |
| pepee | phlak_user, thanks | 19:23 |
| phlak_user | xteejx: o_o | 19:23 |
| pepee | rocket16, he np mate | 19:23 |
| webPragmatist | i think this csync2 is trying to generate a random key and it's just confused | 19:23 |
| acerimmer_ | dzan: ok. i've never used minimal so fwiw: live cd SHOULD enable you to get to terminal. if nothing else, boot the "recover" option | 19:23 |
| bootmonkey | I have written grub-legacy bootloader to the partition /dev/sda6. That's fine. Now I need to find a way to use the ubuntu alternate iso to load from harddisk partition /dev/sda6 instead of the MBR... any idea? | 19:23 |
| kevin_ | is there any way to move the close and minimize buttons from left to right? | 19:23 |
| phlak_user | !controls | kevin_ | 19:23 |
| ubottu | kevin_: 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 | 19:23 |
| rocket16 | phlak_user: Lol, I am not new in this channel, :) Still Ok | 19:23 |
| aphyr_ | I managed to get sun-java6-jre in state deinstall reinstreq half-installed. I can't install it because apt can't locate a file for the package. I can't uninstall it because it's half installed. Google and mucking with dpkg hasn't helped. Any idea how to recover? | 19:23 |
| rocket16 | pepee: :) | 19:23 |
| acerimmer_ | bootmonkey: you can choose the bootloader location and place it where you want... | 19:24 |
| dzan | acerimmer_, live cd terminal wont help me I need to make the one on my hd boot... | 19:24 |
| jrib | aphyr_: that package is now in canonical's partner repository | 19:24 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Is there any reason you didn't just install GRUB to MBR instead of a partition?? | 19:24 |
| Klojum | use the tool "UbuntuTweak" for that, kevin_ | 19:24 |
| acerimmer_ | dzan: ah. thought you were just trying to get the data off | 19:24 |
| orangeglo | how do you install x11 cursor packs? | 19:24 |
| [tla] | hi. ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). i have vlan trunking (802.1q) over bonded ethernet working however, ifup and friends do not initialise the bond0 interface correctly unless i give it an IP address - which it does not need - as the vlan interface above bond0 has the IP address. Does anyone know what I should use in /etc/network/interfaces for the bond0 interface such that it has no IP address and... | 19:24 |
| [tla] | ...still gets initialised properly? "bond0 inet manual" doesnt work and "bond0 inet static" means I have to provide an IP address. Thx. | 19:24 |
| bootmonkey | yes, because I will be using the windows 7 bootloader to load ubuntu. for this to accomplish I need to boot into the system using a CD only once. | 19:24 |
| balachmar | ChogyDan: ok, that seemed to have something to do with dmraid.... | 19:25 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Use wubi then | 19:25 |
| bootmonkey | wubi? | 19:25 |
| balachmar | ChogyDan: it works now... | 19:25 |
| dzan | acerimmer_, nop just need a terminal working no X i've installed X now after trying a lot of things to see if it would work that way but it doesn't neither | 19:25 |
| xteejx | !wubi | bootmonkey | 19:25 |
| ubottu | bootmonkey: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. | 19:25 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: can you give it 0.0.0.0 ? | 19:25 |
| rocket16 | !who | bootmonkey | 19:25 |
| ubottu | bootmonkey: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 19:25 |
| acerimmer_ | dzan: reinstall into same partitions, i.e. no formatting? | 19:25 |
| xteejx | !wtf | rocket16 | 19:25 |
| ubottu | rocket16: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 19:25 |
| xteejx | lol | 19:25 |
| bootmonkey | xteejx: oh no, I dont want to install anything, all I want is to boot a partition from a cd ;) | 19:25 |
| dzan | acerimmer_, it was a clean install formatted whole hdd about hour half ago | 19:26 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: To what end? | 19:26 |
| rocket16 | !botabuse | xteejx | 19:26 |
| ubottu | xteejx: Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots. Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". | 19:26 |
| xteejx | !!shhhh | rocket16 ;) | 19:26 |
| ChogyDan | balachmar: yeah, I don't know anything about raid, but I've heard people have troubles with it. Less people use it in general | 19:26 |
| rocket16 | xteejx: Please don't misuse Ubutto function. This is unfair here. | 19:26 |
| bootmonkey | xteejx: all I want to do is insert the alternate iso, and boot from /dev/sda6 that has a perfectly fine grub bootloader installed. | 19:26 |
| acerimmer_ | dzan: reading. wait 1 | 19:26 |
| xteejx | rocket16: Like others you mean using it to say hi to you?? I suggest you check yours and others practices first, I am trying to help bootmonkey | 19:27 |

| === ersoy is now known as \z | ||
| [tla] | phlak_user: nice idea but "cannot assign requested address" | 19:28 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: That will be a little difficult. | 19:28 |
| phlak_user | bootmonkey: just a thought; you could set that partition only as bootable using fdisk and 'a' to set and unset the flag on all other partitions; now when you boot without the cd, your pc should boot from that partition | 19:28 |
| rocket16 | Friends, xjeetx is misusing Ubutto bot here. Should I bring the matter to the concern of the Operators? | 19:28 |
| xteejx | rocket16: I am Bug Control I am not abusing ubotu I am helping others. Please keep these comments to yourself. Thank you. | 19:28 |
| bootmonkey | phlak_user: is there no way alternate iso can boot from a defined partition? | 19:29 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: did you use sudo ifconfig? | 19:29 |
| phlak_user | bootmonkey: ive never tried | 19:29 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Not without accessing the grub console I don't think so. | 19:29 |
| acerimmer_ | dzan: it's possibly a conflict/configuration error with the geforce driver. LIve mode does some kind of magic to enable visuals pre-installation. | 19:29 |
| xteejx | But you'd need it installed in the first place | 19:29 |

| Scunizi | I've got infinoted (gobby server) installed on a local server and have connected to it with a windows box and my kubuntu box.. user highlighting works on the windows box with gobby but is not working on the kubuntu box with kobby.. Any ideas why? | 19:30 |
| xteejx | hmm empathy doesn't support the ignore command.... | 19:30 |
| dzan | acerimmer_, uhu... i'll do that | 19:30 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: ok | 19:30 |

| Delemas | Anyone know if ubuntu 10.04 LTS has some automated way for text based servers to add optimal mirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list? | 19:30 |
| balachmar | ChogyDan: I don't even use raid! :) but it is installing now :) | 19:30 |
| rocket16 | bootmonkey: I understand, but nobody has the right to accuse others on false grounds like "wtf". I did not say those, and he accused me on false grounds. | 19:31 |

| xteejx | rocket16: This is a support channel, if you want to chat, argue, spit, cuss, whatever please use #ubuntu-chat | 19:31 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: i used to play with bonding sometime back; if i remember correctly, we used to bring the slave interfaces down and bring the bond0 iface up | 19:31 |
| bootmonkey | xteejx: don't worry about WHAT I am doing. I am just about to write grub from /dev/sda6 into a file which I will use with bcedit to perfectly fine boot ubuntu from the windows 7 bootloader. but for this to accomplish I need to boot the installed system once so I can mount the ntfs partition. | 19:31 |
| chrometiger | can u manually specify what icons you want to use for certain things or do you have to install a whole icon pack ? | 19:32 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: No no I understand what you WANT to do, its just doing it | 19:32 |

| ManDay_ | What is the "document viewer" if evince is uninstalled? | 19:32 |
| xteejx | rocket16: Please stop abusing the ubotu bot system | 19:33 |
| ManDay_ | (not installed) | 19:33 |
| mek8630 | Hey does anybody know of a program that's like Speccy for windows that I can use on Xubuntu? | 19:33 |
| rocket16 | xteejx: Same to you, please stop accusing me on false grounds. | 19:33 |
| andres_ | hola | 19:33 |
| acerimmer_ | ManDay_: none. | 19:33 |
| phlak_user | mek8630: whats speccy? | 19:33 |
| andres_ | aca hablan todos español | 19:33 |
| matyd | i've posted the problem on ubuntuforums and haven't gotten any response either... | 19:33 |
| andres_ | spanish | 19:33 |
| mek8630 | it tells all your system specs and info | 19:33 |
| acerimmer_ | !es|andres | 19:33 |
| ubottu | andres: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 19:33 |
| ManDay_ | acerimmer_, is evince harcoded into the kernel or why is that? | 19:33 |
| rocket16 | |es | andres_ | 19:33 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: I'm pretty sure there is a M$ program that allows you to edit the bootloader, it may be bcedit, and you can actually choose which partition grub is installed to and boot to/from that | 19:34 |
| ManDay_ | acerimmer_, i uninstalled evince but everywhere i got a pdf ubuntu/mozilla progs want to open it with "default viewer" | 19:34 |
| [tla] | phlak_user: ifup/down "do the right thing" (tm) because of the i/f order specified in "auto ....". it's literally that i want to bond0 to have no IP address and yet it doesnt work unless it has one :( | 19:34 |
| andres_ | ok grasias | 19:34 |
| acerimmer_ | ManDay_: it's not hardcoded into the kernel, it's just default ubuntu package. you can easily add adobe read if u wish | 19:34 |
| andres_ | #ubuntu-es | 19:34 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: what are you expecting to happen? | 19:34 |

| antonio_ | Hi everybody, i'm trying to use IDJC but i get that error: http://pastebin.com/UDmfgJEy . I already type on a terminale "echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100" > ~/.jackdrc" but i still have the same trouble, anyone knows why? | 19:34 |
| ManDay_ | acerimmer_, that was sarcasm. i installed xpdf but mozilla/ubuntu appears to give a sit. all i get is errors as soon as evince is uninstalled | 19:34 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: how will it help if bond0 does not have an iP address? | 19:35 |
| acerimmer_ | ManDay_: gotta edit the preferred programs in your preferences | 19:35 |
| matyd | why would my sound transmit to my television using amarok but not work when playing the movie via vlc or dragon player?? I don't get it... the sound WORKS | 19:35 |
| * matyd is confused | 19:35 | |
| rocket16 | xteejx: Please keep to the topic. This place is not a a place for joke. Thank you. | 19:35 |
| acerimmer_ | ManDay_: wait 1 i'll find the sequence | 19:35 |
| brokuntu | hello ubuntu users! | 19:35 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: what happens if you double-click on a pdf in nautilus? | 19:35 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: this is a little too old but should hold good --> http://www.howtoforge.com/network_bonding_ubuntu_6.10 | 19:35 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Ohhhhhhhh you should be able to do that by pressing E and editing the kernel boot line just change it to the drive, i.e. hd(0,5) or whatever it will be....that "should" work | 19:36 |
| ManDay_ | acerimmer_, under preffered apps there is no "document viewer" | 19:36 |
| brokuntu | this days are so much pain for me, now i just destroyed my CD burner so i can't make alternate debian text based installer | 19:36 |
| rocket16 | ManDay_: Yes, that can be accessed in System-Preferences-Preferred Applications | 19:36 |
| deostroll | what all do we have to do to get the lamp stack...? | 19:36 |
| xteejx | rocket16: Do you have an LP account? | 19:36 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, well i edited my ~/.local/applications - it uses xpdf | 19:36 |
| mek8630 | I don't know if anybody answered me back because I can't keep up with the chat room | 19:36 |
| [tla] | phlak_user: it doesnt help anything - it's just it doesn't need an ip address so why assign one to it? i just tried "ifconfig bond0 0.0.0.0" and that didn't complain ..... so why does ifup complain?..... | 19:36 |
| ManDay_ | rocket16, there is no document viewer setting | 19:36 |
| antonio_ | Hi everybody, i'm trying to use IDJC but i get this error: http://pastebin.com/UDmfgJEy . I already type on a terminal "echo "/usr/bin/jackd -d alsa -r 44100" > ~/.jackdrc" but i still have the same trouble, anyone knows why? | 19:36 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: you did what? the normal way to set the pdf viewer is to right click on a pdf > properties > open with tab | 19:37 |
| rocket16 | ManDay_: Then, you can right click the PDF, and select Properties. Now select Open With TAb, and select proper choice there, :) | 19:37 |
| bootmonkey | xteejx: ok, I tried root=/dev/sda6 and groot=/dev/sda6 which totally failed.. you sure I can press "e" in the alternate iso bootscreen? wouldn't that be F6 for advanced options for the boot line to come up? | 19:37 |
| ManDay_ | What kind of weird application is "Default viewer" - There is no such application on my computer yet I get it offered as the first best application to offer pdfs with in mozilla - where is this configured? | 19:37 |
| phlak_user | [tla]: even this assigns an IP to the bonding interface -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding | 19:37 |
| acerimmer_ | ManDay_: crdlb FTW. | 19:37 |
| ManDay_ | rocket16, mozilla doesnt care | 19:37 |
| bastid_raZor | ManDay_ evince is installed by default in a Ubuntu install. | 19:37 |
| ManDay_ | bastid_raZor, i hate evince i removed it | 19:37 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Yeah sorry, its E on the installed GRUB menu ;) | 19:38 |
| brokuntu | what is the very MINIMUM packet set you can have installed on ubuntu | 19:38 |
| brokuntu | i need to do a manual install | 19:38 |
| ManDay_ | rocket16, nautilus opens pdfs just fine but mozilla still wants to use a "Default viewer" | 19:38 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: mozilla has its own mime-type settings in its preferences, doesn't it? | 19:38 |
| antonio_ | #ubuntu-it | 19:38 |
| bootmonkey | xteejx: hd(0,5) is probably /dev/sda6 as sda is hd0, right? | 19:38 |
| salah | Hi! Anyone experienced an error with Empathy: it fails to receive URLs from chats. It's not any virus links, it's pure links like Facebook profiles and news. Any suggestion? | 19:38 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, it does and there I can set it | 19:38 |
| ManDay_ | BUT | 19:38 |
| xteejx | bootmoney: Correct | 19:38 |
| rocket16 | ManDay_: I see, :0 | 19:38 |
| mek8630 | Does anybody know of a program that's like Speccy for windows that I can use on Xubuntu??? | 19:38 |
| ManDay_ | it still offers the "Default viewer" as the first best application which annoys me | 19:38 |
| Arimil | so... start computer - grub loading - 30 thousand I/O errors - mouse doesn't work | 19:39 |
| brokuntu | i downloaded alternate installer cd image | 19:39 |
| ManDay_ | IF it really has to offer me some dubious "Default viewer" it should at least take into account that THIS is now XPDF and not evince | 19:39 |

| brokuntu | used Unboot prog to make it a bootable USB stick | 19:39 |
| Arimil | xteejx: what cd? | 19:39 |
| brokuntu | and it did not boot | 19:39 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Do you think you could change your offensive IRC name? | 19:39 |
| acerimmer_ | salah: pretty sure that's an optional config setting | 19:39 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: talk to the mozilla people, I guess | 19:39 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: actually no | 19:40 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, i dont think so. i think the "Default viewer" mystery is ubuntu caused | 19:40 |
| Pici | xteejx: I don't see anything offensive about that. | 19:40 |
| xteejx | Arimil: I/O errors on boot is read failures, usually due to incorrectly burned CD or hard drive failing | 19:40 |
| brokuntu | my ubuntu is broken | 19:40 |
| xteejx | Pici: Come on pici you're kidding me? | 19:40 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: suggest you use ubuntu's disk create utility for your usb creation | 19:40 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, after all mozilla is not affiliated with evince - why would it do that crap? | 19:40 |
| brokuntu | it's a reasonable name | 19:40 |
| matyd | is there anyone that can help me out with my hdmi audio output problem | 19:40 |
| moveax1 | how to reset gnome to defaults? | 19:40 |
| Arimil | well, it's not a cd been installed on this system for a long time | 19:40 |
| xteejx | bro... kuntu... ermmm | 19:40 |
| ManDay_ | Does someone know why mozilla programs want to open pdf files with a dubious program labeld "Default viewer" | 19:40 |
| brokuntu | acerimmer_: i dont have anything except the live CD which i can only get into X by reconfiguring to use the vesa driver | 19:40 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: nothing about the pdf viewer is hardcoded in ubuntu | 19:40 |
| * UT8F Gera diena :) | 19:41 | |
| brokuntu | lemme get that guys minimal cd url from above | 19:41 |
| phlak_user | it suggests his ubuntu is broke | 19:41 |
| salah | acerimmer_, I have seen all the preferences and can't find anything! | 19:41 |
| brokuntu | that looked like the thing i need | 19:41 |
| bootmonkey | no matter if this now works or not, I prefer to boot ubuntu from bc instead windows from grub because win7 will for sure survive this installation longer than ubuntu, that's why I am doing this actually, it saves me from a bootmbr fix in win7 once ubuntu is uninstalled again. | 19:41 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: I don't know anything about how firefox does it, but maybe they're just calling xdg-open | 19:41 |
| bootmonkey | you guys have a good day. | 19:41 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, i wouldnt be so sure if I was you.... ubuntu has all kind of weird stuff | 19:41 |
| acerimmer_ | salah: right click on a pdf and change the app preferences didn't work? | 19:41 |
| xteejx | bootmonkey: Good luck! :) | 19:41 |
| bootmonkey | thanks. l8ers. | 19:41 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: thinking thinking... | 19:41 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, shouldnt xdg-open be the same in nautilus and mozilla? | 19:42 |
| brokuntu | i have put about 100 hours into trying to install ubuntu, now tbh i think fedora is more solid distro but opinions are like assholes everyone has one | 19:42 |
| ManDay_ | i mean: it should | 19:42 |
| brokuntu | however i LIKE ubuntu | 19:42 |
| crdlb | ManDay_: try it | 19:42 |
| brokuntu | so i will persist | 19:42 |
| abuayyoub | were working again :) | 19:42 |
| xteejx | xdg-open just starts the default app | 19:42 |
| brokuntu | and we will win in the end | 19:42 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: Keep it Clean. Please. | 19:42 |
| ManDay_ | crdlb, xdg-open uses xpdf | 19:42 |

| abuayyoub | xteejx, hi, it's saying No such file or directory | 19:44 |
| mek8630 | well I don't see how this chat is very helpful, there is to much going on at one time. | 19:44 |
| mek8630 | even if someone does answer me back about my problem I would never see it | 19:45 |
| brokuntu | i don't know why my USB boot key didn't work | 19:45 |
| xteejx | abuayyoub: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 19:45 |
| acerimmer_ | salah: if you're getting msg's at all, that's good. If it's filtering out ONLY url messages, there's a config to that effect somewhere | 19:45 |
| brokuntu | maybe someone here does if i can explain in one line? | 19:45 |
| abuayyoub | xteejx, Lucid | 19:45 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Best idea, just spit it out if someone can help they will :) | 19:45 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: bcz you used a third party app to create it | 19:45 |
| salah | acerimmer_, where is the config for that? | 19:45 |
| brokuntu | i downloaded the alternate text mode installer and used the UNbootsomething program to burn the ISO as a bootable image to my USB key | 19:45 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Unetbootin | 19:46 |
| brokuntu | pc does not recognise it as bootable | 19:46 |
| acerimmer_ | salah: sorry. don't know, but it's probably in "Preferences" on the chat menu | 19:46 |
| abuayyoub | xteejx, is there maybe an external applet I can use in place? | 19:46 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Does your PC allow booting from USB? | 19:46 |
| xangua | brokuntu: if your pc can't boot from usb there is nothing you can do | 19:46 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: yes | 19:46 |
| xteejx | abuayyoub: The network manager applet is nm-applet | 19:46 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Have you formatted it to BE bootable? | 19:46 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: there is "boot from USB flash" option on bios menu | 19:47 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: I thought thats what unbunwhatever did ! :D | 19:47 |
| salah | acerimmer_, there is no preferences in the chat window. And the preferences on the main window have some notifications preferences and that's it | 19:47 |
| xteejx | nope ;) | 19:47 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: yoda, what shall i do? | 19:47 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Seek the command fdisk you must | 19:47 |
| abuayyoub | xteejx, strange, it says it's already running but I don't see it anywhere. I rebooted thought I might re-appear but it didn't also deleted my indicator applet and it didnt help. Is there another program | 19:47 |
| brokuntu | aha | 19:48 |
| jimlovell777 | I'm trying to confirm a few issues, possibly bugs. Has anyone noticed that slider (like the volume slider in Totem or the brightness control applet) randomly move in large steps are you drag or scroll your mouse? The brightness slider even moves around to various points on my screen. Also on another computer I have to open the Display settings page and apply for my mouse pointer to appear. | 19:48 |
| abuayyoub | I can download | 19:48 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: ok, i just ran a live cd of Xubuntu. You can (and SHOULD) create a live USB with the Disc Creator tool provided in ubuntu. | 19:48 |
| acerimmer_ | salah: I don't know exactly where it is. sorry. keep looking. | 19:48 |

| sebastian_ | Hey guys, anyone knows a media player that has gpu acceleration? XBMC and smplayer are still lagging for me, tried most and Enna media center works great but cant get it to fullscreen | 19:48 |
| aphyr_ | jrib: Thank you. Enabling the partner repo fixed it. | 19:48 |
| rocket161 | jimlovell777: That happens after an Update. Better will be, if you file a launchpad report about the bug, :) | 19:48 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Yes the USB disk creator thing will set it all up (or should do) from LiveCD | 19:49 |
| acerimmer_ | brokuntu: also, your computer must support a USB boot, or this is all for naught | 19:49 |
| sinisterstuf | abuayyoub: have you tried removing the applet it and addingit again? | 19:49 |
| xteejx | acerimmer_: I already asked that, it does ;) | 19:49 |
| brokuntu | The PC has the option in the boot menu to "Boot from USB Flash" | 19:49 |
| xangua | sebastian_: gpu acceleration¿ vlc i believe | 19:49 |
| brokuntu | and fdisk says it's marked as bootable :/ | 19:49 |
| rocket161 | brokuntu: In addition, press Esc at the start of Computer, and select "USB" from Boot menu. | 19:50 |
| sebastian_ | Xangua vlc dont have it yet, should be shipping in next version tho | 19:50 |
| xteejx | brokuntu: Hmmm.....is it formatted to FAT32? | 19:50 |
| xteejx | rocket161: It's not necessarily ESC | 19:50 |

| pallgone | brokuntu: sometimes usbs don't boot if the mbr is not right, on debian there is a tool called mbr-install which can rewrite the mbr but I can't find it on arch | 19:53 |
| xteejx | Didn't think of that! hehe | 19:53 |
| brokuntu | pallgone: UNprogram was supposed to have fixed the mbr but no harm in trying again thanks | 19:54 |
| xteejx | Best way is to fdisk the USB repartition it, set boot flag, write it and format it | 19:54 |
| xteejx | then do unetbootin | 19:54 |
| brokuntu | xteejx: thats what i did and it fails | 19:54 |
| pallgone | boot flag shouldn't be necessary with grub anyway... | 19:54 |
| pallgone | afaik it's only windows which needs it... | 19:55 |
| Talon_ | how do I make a .deb package? | 19:55 |
| xteejx | Does unetbootin support adding grub to the mbr of a usb disk | 19:55 |
| === sisu_math is now known as moomlyn | ||
| brokuntu | it had an option to install an mbr which i selected | 19:55 |

| felon | antivirus is not needed ever ? | 20:02 |
| xteejx | no antivirus, defrag, spybot, nothing...thats not to say linux is fully secure because it's not, but better than other OSs | 20:02 |
| xteejx | clamav is the standard antivirus for linux | 20:02 |
| btaylor2 | So I attempted to install the nVidia 256.25 beta drivers. They installed and worked, until I rebooted. I uninstalled the drivers I got from nvidia and reinstalled the ones from the Apt repositories, but X still will not start.

| FoolishOwl | One thing I'm trying to work out is which of the three P's to concentrate on: Perl, Python, or Php. I've taken a class on Perl so I have some knowledge of it; Php seems to come up a lot, with Drupal for instance; but Python seems to be the up-and-coming language. | 20:21 |

| adamror | xteejx do you think if I went out and brought a wireless adapter and used it via the USB on my laptop it would fix the chipset issue?? | 20:22 |
| Fachher | Hey xteejx i thought you would help me | 20:22 |
| Xenile | I did. It is supported. I used lshw -C network command it showed my wireless card with an Unclaimed note | 20:22 |
| nohorbee | xteejx: thanks for the advice, but, I would like to BUY one, and not sure if the store will let me try that | 20:22 |
| xteejx | adamror: Hopefully! Realtek chipset wifi seems to be the best supported | 20:22 |
| tavis | i can't use any of the fonts in t1-xfree86-nonfree or ttf-xfree86-nonfree even after i have installed them on lucid. | 20:22 |

| xteejx | Fachher: I thought I did. To get the key symbol in the top run gksu, but like I said it is purely to show that you have authrorised sudo access | 20:23 |

| antivirtel | hello all, I have utf-8 problem, i saved without BOM, but it uploads with bom? (filezilla) what can I do now ? | 20:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | FoolishOwl: perl and python are more general purpose i imagine while php is really more for web usage | 20:24 |
| ChogyDan | btaylor2: I would just reinstall, but maybe you could remove the kernel, make sure the module directories are cleared, and then reinstall the kernel (of course all without rebooting) | 20:24 |
| nohorbee | xteejx: anyway... Some rumors that internal mic is not working and wifi is hardly working... and wanted to know if anyone has one | 20:24 |
| Fachher | What should i do to access the internet | 20:24 |
| ChogyDan | btaylor2: I guess that would be /lib/modules | 20:24 |
| Fachher | Here is a protocoll from ifconfig | 20:24 |
| Fachher | http://pastebin.com/sQ7ydGp1 | 20:24 |
| btaylor2 | ChogyDan, at this point if it comes down to a reinstall I'm going back to Gentoo. I was really hoping there'd be a way to fix this | 20:25 |
| === zac is now known as Guest25077 | ||
| FoolishOwl | brontosaurusrex, that's my understanding. I'm most interested in system administration. On the other hand, the P in LAMP almost always seems to turn out to be Php. | 20:25 |

| Loshki | FoolishOwl: if it helps, about a week ago, #python had 888 subscribers, #perl 534 and ##php 527. So my un-scientific survey says python is ahead in popularity, with perl & php vying for second place... | 20:28 |

| xiong | Okay, well, I answered my first question, if anyone else is interested. The emergency shutdown is logged in /var/log/syslog. I searched for the jump in times and found a clear statement of overtemp. | 21:00 |
| dbum | digital-diesel: trying to look it up..... not having too much luck.... i remember it took me an hour or two to figure out.... are you using 10.04? | 21:01 |
| xiong | I'd still like to know if anyone has a suggestion for a command to run *before* the overtemp. The applet lm-sensors has a place to put it. | 21:01 |
| digital-diesel | dmub: im using 9.10 | 21:01 |
| digital-diesel | **dmub: using 9.10 | 21:01 |
| digital-diesel | sorry | 21:01 |
| digital-diesel | ahhhh | 21:01 |

| qm7 | is it normal for a .mov file to be like 1 MB. what kind of file is a .mov file anyway? | 21:02 |
| chipmank | should i be able to do a full install on a 16gb usb memory chip? | 21:02 |
| digital-diesel | dbum: ive been trying since yesterday with no luck | 21:02 |

| brindlem | i need some help with xorg drivers. Anyone an ace on this? | 21:03 |
| k-rad | Scunizi, you should see if there are solutions on the linuxprinting web sites | 21:03 |
| dbum | digital-diesel: no prob....if I can even help.... what versions are you using... I have rhythmbox 0.12.8 and empathy 2.30.1-0 | 21:03 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, I can't think of a good hardware solution. That would require a noisy fan and interfere with portability and usability. Do you have a software solution? I was thinking of a way to control CPU freq scaling based on sensor temp. | 21:03 |
| qm7 | bastid_raZor: its a file I want to download but I'm afraid it might be malicious so I havn't downloaded it yet. | 21:04 |
| k-rad | can't believe they got 6 core amds at 2.8ghz thats nuts :) | 21:04 |

| digital-diesel | dbum: Rhythmbox 0.12.5 and Empathy 2.28.1.1 | 21:04 |
| boing | help installing vnc please | 21:04 |
| bastid_raZor | qm7: i have no idea. | 21:05 |
| xray7224 | brindlem: id explain what drivers and your specific problem rather than ask for people who are good at a particular task | 21:05 |
| qm7 | Pici: how long would a 1MB .mov file be? | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj-L | howdy | 21:05 |
| btaylor2 | qm7 .mov is quicktime movie | 21:05 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, The stupid solution is to lock freq to the step "below" full speed; the machine can run indefinitely that way without overtemp. I'd like to do better. | 21:05 |
| k-rad | boing, sudo apt-get install vnc from a terminal. enter your sudo password | 21:05 |
| xray7224 | boing: vnc server or client ? | 21:05 |
| xteejx | about 20-40 secs | 21:05 |
| bastid_raZor | xiong: scaling down the cpu will not help considering your box is overheating. | 21:05 |
| Pici | qm7: It depends on the resolution of the movie. | 21:05 |
| Scunizi | k-rad: I appreciate it.. most likely it's a system thing. this has only started happening since 10.04.. because "Upgrading" botched the system I re-installed fresh keeping my /home directory during the process.. | 21:05 |

| gvallarelli | Hi guys someone has an idea to bind an xrandr command or a script to a shortcut? | 21:05 |
| qm7 | Pici: does 1mb sound reasonable, or does that sound more like it could be malicious? | 21:05 |
| digital-diesel | dbum: i didnt realize there was a diff version out | 21:06 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, ?? | 21:06 |
| k-rad | Scunizi, you can reset gnome to gnome defaults without reinstalling would you like that link ? | 21:06 |
| bastid_raZor | xiong: possibly set your cpu to 'on-demand' so that it only runs at full speeds when needed | 21:06 |

| brindlem | I need help changing my xorg driver to ati, after removing an nvidia gfx card | 21:06 |

| abuayyoub | Hi, can someone help me. I seem to be missing my network manager (nm-applet) from my indicator applet. I cant seem to get it to work again. Can someone help me out | 21:06 |
| Pici | qm7: 1mb sounds like too small actually. You don't need to worry about viruses on Linux, unless you are planning on sharing this file with Windows users. So you should be fine if download and try playing it. | 21:06 |
| dbum | digital-diesel: can you upgrade them? man.... I'll be totally honest with you... I really can't remember what I did and didn't save my bookmarks.... I might of but stupid ass bindwood (ubuntuone) deleted my bookmarks like a month ago | 21:06 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, That works until an app decides it needs more power for a long time. Then it jumps up to full speed and stays there until the emerg shutdown, which is a Bad Thing. | 21:07 |
| k-rad | boing make sure everything but proposed and backports is selected, unless you must have backports, let it reload. i do a manual sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install vlc | 21:07 |
| k-rad | in software sources | 21:07 |
| boing | k-rad, I updated it but what does vlc has to do with vnc? | 21:08 |
| k-rad | sorry i misread | 21:08 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, I think the ideal fix would be to install a script as an overtemp alarm -- lm-sensors will trigger this before the forced shutdown, at any temp I set -- and the script scale back the freq. I don't know precisely how to do that. | 21:08 |
| Scunizi | k-rad: that won't help unfortunately.. I'm running Kubuntu (kde) | 21:08 |
| k-rad | replace with vnc or to find the exact package try sudo apt-cache search VNC i believe vinagre is what your looking for | 21:08 |
| xray7224 | boing: i think there is a vnc client already in ubuntu try Applications > Internet > Remote Desktop Viewer | 21:09 |
| brindlem | when i run glxinfo I get this: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0", which seems to be because xorg log shows nvidia driver and I've now got an ati card | 21:09 |

| it2edse | hello all, I'm having an install problem, I've created a USB stick, it boots fine. it displays Mythbuntu [dot dot dot just fine] in the resolution that I pass as a vga=xxx, but then it switches mode to a mode that is not supported by my monitor (1600x1280x60Hz), how can I change this mode so that I can install ubuntu (or mythbuntu in my case)? | 21:35 |

| Nonpython | How do I install the .33 kernel, I need the full btrfs ioctls. Is there a ubuntu way to install a newer kernel, or do I just to the old "copy the config, make oldconfig, make gconfig, make, make install" routine? | 21:52 |
| PeterDrop | hi, is there some software like dreamweaver able to suggest functions? autocomplete and stuff | 21:53 |
| xray7224 | Nonpython: grab the source and then cd to it and do make menuconfig | 21:53 |
| xray7224 | ? | 21:53 |
| devi | bobo123: but it didn't.. so what could I do now...? | 21:53 |
| mikel | devi: by default, Ubuntu should mount the thumbdrive automatically and show you a window with its contents. If that isn't happening, try issuing the command 'dmesg' after you've inserted the USB stick. There should be some kernel logs where it sees the USB mass storage device. | 21:53 |
| xiong | bastid_raZor, I set a high temp alarm to set freq to its lowest setting, fixed. I set a low temp alarm to set to the governor 'ondemand'. I tested it by setting low and high close together and watched it cycle. Then I set the limits to more reasonable values. I think my issue is resolved. | 21:53 |
| wise_crypt | devi : dmesg | grep usb < if the usb havent settling down, unplug and plug again | 21:53 |
| devi | mikel: thanks, where do i issue commands? | 21:53 |
| sterlo | If I wanted to search my entire file system and find all PNG files with the dimensions of 64x64 - how would I go about that? | 21:53 |
| owenll | PeterDrop: bluefish | 21:53 |
| xray7224 | Nonpython: then you need to put the bzImage it gives you in /boot/kernel too and alter grub | 21:54 |
| PeterDrop | owenll txs i will try | 21:54 |
| mikel | devi: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 21:54 |
| bobo123 | devi: and it should appear as /media/thelabelofthedisk perhaps you can check if the usbdisk itself (not the filesystem) appears as /dev/hdb1 or something | 21:54 |
| xray7224 | Nonpython: there might actually be a easier method but im not 100% | 21:54 |

| wise_crypt | !webmin | norrec | 22:00 |
| ubottu | norrec: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 22:00 |
| xray7224 | devi: its letting you write, its a security feature to not show the characters | 22:00 |
| xray7224 | devi: type your user password | 22:00 |
| xray7224 | it might not accept it as you have written some characters without realising | 22:01 |

| jrib | garic: you could use fstab to do it on a drive-by-drive basis. You'd have to look into editing the right udev rule to change it in general (or there may be some gvfs volume mounter preference somewhere I am not aware of) | 22:34 |
| jrib | devi: highlight to select, middle click to paste | 22:34 |
| garic | jrib, i know how to mount them in cli, and ive seen the page uve set, but this all no good. I want it to work just like it used to out of the box in jaunty. | 22:35 |

| jrib | garic: the program that takes care of mounting in gnome seems to be gvfs-*-volume-mounter (iirc) | 22:38 |
| jrib | devi: is it the right size I mean? (about 4gb) | 22:38 |
| devi | jrib: yes 4GB :) | 22:38 |

| jrib | devi: pastebin « mount » | 22:38 |
| uLinux | jrib, I think I got it... i set /bin/false I can establish the connection but I can't list files etc (shell right?) | 22:39 |

| elb0w | what is ubuntu's equiv of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-ethX | 22:48 |
| maco | Green_: though...hmm... looks like maybe something in /etc/fstab could fix it? | 22:48 |
| kurdt | what? | 22:48 |
| hiexpo | xangua, yes and that put a lot of my stuff in the obsolete section and remove filezilla | 22:48 |
| maco | Green_: or a change to your grub setup... | 22:48 |
| maco | Green_: its seems like its looking for the rest of the kernel on the wrong partition | 22:48 |

| sjm | devi: check the keyboard layouts under System -> Preferences -> Keyboard | 22:49 |
| maco | Green_: do anything special on the install? lots of extra partitions? or maybe do you have lots of hard drives and their slave/master configuration mismatches teh bios? | 22:49 |
| Green_ | even have* | 22:49 |
| Green_ | One HD, one partition | 22:49 |

| buu | So guys | 22:50 |
| sjm | Green_: New install? | 22:50 |

| FNi | alx1: options? Well I get the standard boot menu (live cd, install, etc). After I select LiveCD I see lots of command line boot info. Then the Ubuntu loading logo. Then nothing | 23:03 |

| blendmaster1024 | it keeps a database, and doesn't touch the filesystem until it decides it's ok | 23:25 |
| Vovk | aah nvm... | 23:25 |
| Vovk | so dpkg force... i'll trying | 23:26 |

| ADmiral | Hi, 10.04 I've installed libgme0, which is supposed to play .spc, .nsf audio formats (among others). Audacious can play them now, but vlc and mplayer can't. I need to use vlc. What should I do? | 23:43 |

| harkle | I'm trying to add a ppa repository, but I don't have add-apt-repository for some reason. All I need to do is get the GPG key, but I need to do it through a proxy. When I use gpg on its own, it works, but only when I DON'T use sudo, and when I use apt-key adv, the --keyserver-options http-proxy seems not to be passed through to GPG. WHAT DO? o.o | 23:49 |
| harkle | Do I need to specify a certain keyring or something? :/ | 23:50 |
| xangua | harkle: what version of ubuntu¿ have you tried to go to the PPA's web and manualy download and install the GPG¿ | 23:50 |
| bugs_bugger | hi. guys, i feel a little stupid: how to upgrade ubuntu from desktop-cd? | 23:50 |
| harkle | xangua: it's 10.04, but it's actually the VMware image of Bitnami's DjangoStack. | 23:51 |
| Ari_Lazarus | Hi guys - as per the mapping page at the wiki I reconfigured xorg.conf so that when my system starts up it would remap certain mousekeys. However, today when I log on I discovered that xorg.conf complains about a 'screen not found' error, and I had to boot X into a different display number. What did I do wrong here? | 23:51 |
| Blade-Runner | !upgrade | bugs_bugger | 23:51 |
| ubottu | bugs_bugger: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 23:51 |
| xangua | harkle: is thata modified version of ubuntu¿¿ | 23:51 |
| Firefishe | Hello all. :) I'm currently using the 64bit live cd of 10.04 LTS and wanted to know if it's possible to reboot somehow without losing the ram disk. | 23:51 |
| xangua | bugs_bugger: you need alternate to upgrade with the cd, not live | 23:51 |
| harkle | xangua: it seems to be; I didn't know I could download the gpg key directly, so that's good. What do I do with it so that apt-get will use it? | 23:52 |
| harkle | Firefishe: you mean you want to preserve the contents of RAM through a reboot? | 23:52 |
| harkle | Of a specific program or of the whole system? | 23:53 |
| bugs_bugger | xangua: ah. i see. now i know why i had a 9.10 altertate disc as well :) im too lazy, ill try online upgrade. thanks | 23:53 |
| xangua | harkle: just open synaptic and go to the menu of repositorioes (software origins also work) and there is a tab where ypu can select the file to import it | 23:53 |
| harkle | xangua: Can't; I've got nothing but command line. | 23:53 |
| xangua | harkle: better to use the oficial ubuntu build if you want to get more help, those are the rules ;) | 23:54 |
| harkle | :P | 23:54 |
| bttf | hey, basic question... when i run a program from terminal, it doesn't go back to my command line | 23:54 |

| bttf | where it shows my home dir | 23:54 |
| harkle | xangua: I think I can find what to do from here; thanks for telling me about the direct link to download the key! | 23:54 |
| trism | harkle: sudo apt-key add path_to_file | 23:54 |
| xangua | well i'm out to take fresh air, see you ubuntu support channel ;) | 23:55 |
| harkle | trism: ah, danke schoen. | 23:55 |
