| drake | So here's my question. I setup a file server using Ubuntu Server edition following the guild by Xam @ howtoforge.com. With only a few exceptions to minor tweaks the guide worked perfectly. The difference is I use a USB terabyte for data storage but that's not an issue. It works FANTASTIC right now. I can manage files from any computer in the house (vista xp linuxmint etc). The USB is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0 | 00:58 |
|---|---|---|
| drake | in my fstab file. It's sharing the root directory of the disk and users have access to the entire thing. Now that it's all working, I want to know if anyone knows a way I can not let the entire disk be shared but only select folders off the root for example /media/store/Music or /media/store/Videos. | 00:58 |

| bonedragon | I use Ubuntu on a laptop and i would love to know if there is an easy way to configure my machine to not automatically turn on the wireless card. | 03:56 |
| phillw | bonedragon: within network-manager, you can select the device and turn 'auto' off | 04:10 |
| phillw | or do you mean not to fire up the WiFi card in the 1st instance? | 04:11 |
| bonedragon | when i log in, both my wired and my wireless options are automatically enabled..so after i login i uncheck the wireless to save on battery every time | 04:13 |
| bonedragon | i wish i could save the setting, since its a laptop i turn my machine off alot and have to set it.. i was hoping to fine a non command fix so i don't forget what i did | 04:14 |
| phillw | i think you can set WiFi to off in BIOS with some of them. | 04:15 |
| bonedragon | i saw that suggestion on one of my searches, i will have to check next time i boot up | 04:15 |
| phillw | i can on the laptops I have, there is also sometimes a button either on the front of the laptop, or as a Fn + {some key} that can toggle it. | 04:17 |
| bonedragon | this laptop used to be vista, when i used the button to disable the wifi it would only stay off like that till i turned my machine off. my software remedy in windows was to disable the hardware (easy 1 setting fix). My feeling is that there is a way to do the same thing, but it would be a command to disable the turning on of the device, however my ability to follow the more powerful linux... | 04:21 |
| bonedragon | ...commands is somewhat limited | 04:21 |
| bonedragon | i have some linux experience but its from like 2 years ago and things have been updated to a nice finish on Ubuntu with the new release. | 04:21 |
| phillw | bonedragon: I'm trying to set up my skype atm, but a quick dig through the archives has found some one who wanted the WiFi off, I cannot vouch for it as I haven't tried it, but it may help http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-844426.html | 04:34 |
| bonedragon | thanks for the link, i will read throughly before trying anything. thanks for the chat phillw | 04:36 |
| === bgs100 is now known as bgs000 | ||
| phillw | bonedragon: if that does not help, then pop over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=336 have a read through the posts, and feel free to post a question on there. | 04:42 |

| gt8 | you know a distribution is amazing when the release updates include: | 17:30 |
| gt8 | Notable features: | 17:30 |
| gt8 | Grub2 replaces Grub-legacy | 17:30 |
| gt8 | Slim replaces bash login | 17:30 |
| phillw | gt8: where have you been since April 2009? ;-) | 17:38 |
| gt8 | oh, I dunno ... got quite drunk last night | 17:41 |
| gt8 | next thing I know, it's 2010 | 17:41 |
| phillw | I will keep my views on how they 'launched' Grub2 on to us all quiet ;-) Yes, it needed doing and is the only way forward. Be careful about getting drunk again as by 2011 we may all be using btrfs :-D | 17:52 |

| gt8 | phillw, oh, I am way ahead of you there... | 18:10 |
| gt8 | by at least a year | 18:10 |
| gt8 | phillw, infact, COW filesystems are pretty much the future of filesystems full stop. | 18:12 |
| gt8 | btrfs wasn't the first for Linux, and it certainly isn't the last - there are other interesting developments on the same idea already in the kernel tree - however each for different application usages. | 18:13 |
| hanifbaloch | hay guis this HanifBaloch | 18:14 |
| gt8 | hi hanifbaloch | 18:14 |
| gt8 | this gt8 | 18:14 |
| gt8 | gt8.awake = true; | 18:14 |
| mohi2911 | lol | 18:14 |
| hanifbaloch | i need help on upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 | 18:15 |
| * mohi2911 sets gt8.awake = false; | 18:15 | |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: you can upgrade to 10.04 too if you wish =] | 18:15 |
| gt8 | mohi2911, baby steps ... | 18:15 |
| mohi2911 | or tell your requirement hanifbaloch | 18:15 |
| phillw | hi hanifbaloch, you may want to consider making a sperate home and doing a re-install. | 18:15 |
| phillw | you certainly can go from 9.04 to 9.10, update grub & ext3 -->ext4 (I did it ) | 18:16 |
| hanifbaloch | i cant because it says first you must have 9.10 | 18:16 |
| gt8 | hanifbaloch, have a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KarmicKoala/ReleaseNotes | 18:17 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: indeed, you need to go 9.04 --> 9.10 --> 10.04, but there has been a lot of changes. IMHO I'd say hive off your /home to a partition and do a clean install. | 18:17 |
| gt8 | hanifbaloch, have you installed any applications outside of the ubuntu repositories ? | 18:18 |
| mohi2911 | phillw: cant we do directly from 9.04?? :( | 18:18 |
| gt8 | mohi2911, no | 18:18 |
| gt8 | you can however 8.04 -> 10.04 | 18:18 |
| phillw | mohi2911: only 9.10 and 8.04.4 can go to 10.04 | 18:18 |
| hanifbaloch | i don't know actually but may be bcz i have made ubuntu good for me | 18:19 |
| hanifbaloch | as windows was | 18:19 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: that will most likely be settings, which be saved in your own area. you can get a list of what you have added and check that they are compatible with 10.04 | 18:20 |
| mohi2911 | I think I spent lots of time with 8.10 itself. will be upgrading to lucid in days | 18:20 |
| hanifbaloch | and now i don't want to lose my data as well as the bundle of softwares | 18:20 |
| phillw | mohi2911: you will not do a direct 8.10 --> 10.04 upgrade | 18:20 |
| gt8 | well, there is nothing wrong with Jaunty. ;) | 18:20 |
| gt8 | isn't it supported for another year ? | 18:20 |
| mohi2911 | phillw: gonna dowload lucid or zenix tonight =] | 18:21 |
| mohi2911 | download* | 18:21 |
| hanifbaloch | you are right gt but every body is upgrading | 18:21 |
| phillw | mohi2911: meerkat is in the daily builds, it goes on to the test area tonight :-) | 18:21 |
| hanifbaloch | mohi my Net is very very slow and can't download that huge thang | 18:22 |
| gt8 | Supported until October 2010 | 18:22 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: before you consider updating your system, you need to consider how you are going to backup your data | 18:22 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: so you have errors with upgrading to 9.10?? | 18:22 |
| lukjad86 | Which is a better format to rip a DVD to, MKV or RMVB? | 18:23 |
| hanifbaloch | yes mohi you are right | 18:23 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: what you get?? | 18:23 |
| mohi2911 | lukjad86: RMVB will not play at all players. so MKV is somewhat ok than RMVB | 18:23 |
| hanifbaloch | phillw i thought of making a CD | 18:24 |
| lukjad86 | mohi2911 Which will be smaller? | 18:24 |
| mohi2911 | lukjad86: but if you ask me, both are poor :D | 18:24 |
| lukjad86 | mohi2911 heh | 18:24 |
| hanifbaloch | :'( | 18:24 |
| mohi2911 | lukjad86: they ll vary only bu some MBs and they ll not affect much. MKV is a good choice among those two | 18:25 |
| hanifbaloch | O.K guys i don't have the menu which logs off and shut down ubuntu what to do | 18:26 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: tell me the result of doing "du -h" in terminal | 18:26 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: when you go to update, you really *must* have a backup in case something horrible happens (a power cut 1/2 way through can really mess things up) | 18:26 |
| collinp | phillw: I've had that happen before. | 18:26 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: tell me the value in the last line and thats enough | 18:26 |
| hanifbaloch | power problem of my country is the biggest problem | 18:27 |
| collinp | Luckily, my mad skillz allowed me to fix it without too much trouble. | 18:27 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: where you belong to?? | 18:27 |
| phillw | collinp: I'm in PM with some one to whom that has happened, it also messed his 1TB external drive up, which we were sort of relying on :-( | 18:27 |
| collinp | Damn. 2x | 18:27 |
| hanifbaloch | pk | 18:27 |
| collinp | Damn because you were using it, and damn because it's a 1TB hard drive. | 18:27 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: i am from India =] | 18:28 |
| phillw | collinp: it's looking up, actually. even though he had it formatted in FAT32 | 18:28 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: tell the last line of du -h in terminal | 18:28 |
| collinp | lolwhat. | 18:28 |
| hanifbaloch | nice meeting you, do you think is should do du -h | 18:29 |
| mohi2911 | yep. in terminal | 18:29 |
| mohi2911 | and tell me the last value hanifbaloch | 18:29 |

| bobo123 | if I have linux kernel 2.6.32-22 "linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic" can I remove the -19 and -16 packages? (including "linux-headers-2.6.32-19" and "linux-headers-2.6.32-16") ? | 18:29 |
| mohi2911 | lukjad86: =] | 18:29 |
| phillw | collinp: when all else fails, and windows cannot resize a win partition, try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=169551 | 18:30 |
| mohi2911 | bobo123: you mean in boot screen?? | 18:30 |
| phillw | bobo123: keep the 19 version | 18:30 |
| collinp | Windows partitions suck. | 18:31 |
| hanifbaloch | mohi i am a Baloch not a paki and i love being a Baloch | 18:31 |
| collinp | I mean, really. I haven't heard the word "defragment" used in relation to Linux in over a year. | 18:31 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: fine and you did what i said?? | 18:31 |
| hanifbaloch | it shows this ./Record BBC Listen Again programs to MP3 in Ubuntu « Sprayfly_files | 18:32 |
| bobo123 | yeah I don't want them in grub menu, and wonder what this -headers packages is too that isn't removed when i uncheck the -image in synaptic | 18:32 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: you did simply du -h in terminal right?? | 18:33 |
| hanifbaloch | yes | 18:33 |
| collinp | Headers are there for development, I believe. | 18:33 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: the result i got is 77M | 18:34 |
| mohi2911 | look if you have some values like that | 18:34 |
| phillw | bobo123: follow http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/need-to-remove-old-versions-of-ubuntu-kernel-466660/ if you are at unsure, then do not carry on, you can end up with no system. | 18:35 |
| hanifbaloch | and actually it is 425M . | 18:35 |
| bobo123 | ok | 18:35 |
| mohi2911 | phillw: hanifbaloch's home folder is only 425M. ahat to do with installed packages?? | 18:35 |
| mohi2911 | what* | 18:36 |
| phillw | bobo123: remember to do a sudo update-grub at the end of it all to update your list | 18:36 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: you mentioned you had slow internet speed? | 18:36 |
| bobo123 | phillw: ah, almost forgot. thanks | 18:37 |
| hanifbaloch | yes actually the worst | 18:37 |
| phillw | is there anyone from who you can download and burn a cd of 700MB of data? | 18:38 |
| hanifbaloch | it shows 32bits | 18:38 |
| phillw | 32bits is not your innternet speed | 18:38 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: <phillw> is there anyone from who you can download and burn a cd of 700MB of data? | 18:38 |
| hanifbaloch | cononical send me ubuntu 10.04 yesterday | 18:39 |
| hanifbaloch | 32 is the download speed and disconnection is an other prob | 18:40 |
| phillw | okay, that's really good. | 18:40 |
| phillw | you have the installation cd | 18:40 |
| hanifbaloch | yes sir i do | 18:40 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: have you used pastebin before? | 18:41 |
| hanifbaloch | no i didn't | 18:42 |
| phillw | hmm, okay. do have a cd writer installed and a blank cd-r disk? | 18:44 |
| bobo123 | btw, wouldn't it be more userfriendly if the grub menu only listed the operative systems one have, and if I want to see failsafe modes or alternative kernels I have to press some extra button first? | 18:44 |
| phillw | bobo123: no, it would not, when you install a new kernel version (the real important bit) and it is unhappy, you need to be able to get hold of the older one. for that reason grub *must* offer the option. | 18:45 |
| hanifbaloch | :-D | 18:45 |
| mohi2911 | bobo123: its for your recovery purposes. you can re-arrange the order, but dont delete the recovery mode | 18:46 |
| bobo123 | I just want to have recovery mode and check memory stuff hidden behind F8 or something :-) | 18:48 |
| mohi2911 | bobo123: what are all the distros you are using in your machune?? | 18:48 |
| mohi2911 | i ask about OS | 18:48 |
| phillw | bobo123: can i recommend something to you, just in case you get a bit carried away .... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484363 make sure you do run the update grub, if you have gotten a bit carried away, that's how to get it back | 18:51 |
| hanifbaloch | :'( | 18:54 |
| mohi2911 | hanifbaloch: follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366 and do you have a CD-RW??? | 18:55 |
| hanifbaloch | that's why i was weeping my CD-RW is faulty and stops in the mid | 18:56 |
| mohi2911 | ah | 18:56 |
| bobo123 | mohi2911: just now I have only WindowsXP and Ubuntu10.04 and I think that would be a perfect short menu for most people (even though I want to have win98+dos+aros+kolibri+etc too :-) | 18:58 |
| mohi2911 | bobo123: you want win on the second line of your Grub list on boot. right?? | 18:59 |
| hanifbaloch | bobo are you a nasa scientist | 19:00 |
| hanifbaloch | bcz combination of these all can only be on a super computer in nasa | 19:01 |
| hanifbaloch | it's just my point of view hummm please don't mind it | 19:01 |
| gt8 | bobo123, that sort of "extra menus" feature was possible with grub 0.97 ... | 19:01 |
| bobo123 | yup... a perfect grub2 menu would be a small square in the middle of the screen with just the text "Ubuntu 10.04" and "Windows XP" on it and a text in the bottom border press [F8] for recovery modes (that will make the square larger and add the other modes indented under the main ones (perhaps winXP's failsafe mode too) | 19:02 |
| hanifbaloch | mohi what if i take my installation CD to a friend and copy its all folders in a USB | 19:02 |
| hanifbaloch | is it a possible way for ubuntu installation procees | 19:03 |
| mohi2911 | phillw: can hanifbaloch upgrade directly to 10.04 with a live USB?? | 19:04 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: if your cd-rw is not working, then you will need to make a seperate /home area to store your information while you re-install. If you cannot download all the 9.10 system because of you internet connection, then making a seperate /home is essential. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome has the instructions | 19:04 |
| mohi2911 | gt8: ^^ | 19:04 |
| phillw | mohi2911: you can *not* upgrade from 9.04 --> 10.04 | 19:05 |
| mohi2911 | ok ok :D | 19:05 |
| hanifbaloch | i have downloaded one mirror but its not upgrading my system to 9.10 | 19:06 |
| hanifbaloch | its about 689.6 MB | 19:07 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: my best suggestion, and one I will help you with, is to follow http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome after that is done, we can back up your data / themes / bits you've added on and then put them back onto your 10.04 installation. without a working cd-rw drive you only have the choice of doing it that way or lose all your data. | 19:10 |
| phillw | or stay with 9.04, there's nothing 'wrong' with 9.04 - people still run 7.10 as they like it. | 19:11 |
| holstein | no updates though | 19:11 |
| holstein | eventually | 19:11 |
| phillw | holstein: and that is a problem for a fully working system ? | 19:12 |
| holstein | define working | 19:12 |
| holstein | do the lights come on | 19:12 |
| holstein | sure | 19:12 |
| phillw | Win 98 works very well, when was that last updated? :p | 19:12 |
| holstein | is there a security risk? | 19:12 |
| holstein | maybe | 19:12 |
| holstein | phillw: windows is a security risk though | 19:13 |
| holstein | out of the box | 19:13 |
| holstein | thats a given | 19:13 |
| phillw | holstein: but we'd have to find gainful employment for all the virus writers :p | 19:13 |
| hanifbaloch | and my problem is that i love moving not staying | 19:13 |
| holstein | would i personally be concerned about running ubuntu 7.10 without security updates | 19:13 |
| holstein | nah | 19:13 |
| phillw | I'd prefer 6.04 over Win :-D | 19:14 |
| phillw | hanifbaloch: ^^ read my post to you ^^ | 19:14 |
| hanifbaloch | phillw i did | 19:15 |

| mohi2911 | i am changing my 8.10 distro after an year =] | 19:30 |
| gt8 | dunno how am gonna put together the icon theme he wanted... | 19:31 |
| gt8 | it looks nice ... but is severely incomplete | 19:31 |
| gt8 | I mean ... it is not even organised into any sort of structure | 19:31 |
| mohi2911 | hmmm he asked one day about newly designed icons i think | 19:31 |
| gt8 | mohi2911, http://taubrey.deviantart.com/art/Zenicons-Version-0-2-148281888 | 19:32 |

| ZachK_ | welcome Scunizi | 20:00 |
| gt8 | shoop pap | 20:01 |
| gt8 | I have no clue what that means... | 20:02 |
| ZachK_ | gt8: ok | 20:05 |
| squishyy | fuck. | 20:25 |
| mohi2911 | squishyy: words!! | 20:27 |
| squishyy | i was hoping bodhi was in here | 20:27 |
| mohi2911 | he s not availabel right now | 20:27 |
| gt8 | squishyy, why do you need bodhi? | 20:28 |
| squishyy | because i accidently deleted the kernel packages from ubuntu | 20:29 |
| squishyy | and i'm in the livecd trying to find out what is the best way to fix it | 20:29 |
| gt8 | squishyy, ok, which partition has your ubuntu install on ? | 20:29 |
| squishyy | /dev/sda1 | 20:30 |
| gt8 | you'll need to mount it, and then use the command 'chroot' to change root into it. | 20:30 |
| gt8 | squishyy, ok, you open a terminal, you can - in sequence: | 20:30 |
| gt8 | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 20:30 |
| squishyy | gt8: | 20:30 |
| squishyy | i'm not a noob. | 20:30 |
| gt8 | =) | 20:31 |
| squishyy | lol (: | 20:31 |
| gt8 | D: | 20:31 |
| gt8 | sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev | 20:31 |
| gt8 | ^^ do the same for /proc /sys and /dev/pts | 20:31 |
| gt8 | then: | 20:32 |
| gt8 | sudo chroot /mnt | 20:32 |
| gt8 | sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic # or whatever... | 20:32 |
| gt8 | (actually, you can omit the 'sudo' bit in the last one) | 20:33 |
| gt8 | squishyy, ^^ | 20:33 |
| squishyy | i think it's actually working (: | 20:34 |
| squishyy | thanks. | 20:34 |
| squishyy | but | 20:34 |
| squishyy | what was all the mount --bind stuff for? | 20:34 |
| * squishyy has never tried to chroot, (never needed to) | 20:34 | |
| gt8 | squishyy, --bind mounts an already mounted directory elsewhere (as you might have guessed) | 20:35 |
| squishyy | righttt. | 20:35 |
| squishyy | but why would i need to do that. | 20:35 |
| squishyy | ?* | 20:36 |
| gt8 | /proc /sys /dev /dev/pts are access points to system + hardware ... needed for grub to install the menu entry when you chroot into /mnt | 20:36 |
| * squishyy *facepalm* | 20:36 | |
| squishyy | oh (: | 20:36 |
| squishyy | thanks bro. | 20:36 |
| gt8 | if you don't, when installing linux-image-blah, grub will search in /dev and find nothing | 20:36 |
| squishyy | that makes sense. | 20:37 |
| gt8 | (because /mnt/dev is the new /dev inside the chroot /mnt) | 20:37 |
| gt8 | squishyy, oh, and what sort of 'not a noob' deletes his kernel ? :P | 20:38 |
| squishyy | LOL! | 20:38 |
| squishyy | LMFAO! | 20:38 |
| squishyy | hahahaha | 20:38 |
| squishyy | hah, uhmm yeah. i was trying to delete the old kernel packages | 20:39 |
| squishyy | i must of accidently deleted the other. | 20:39 |
| squishyy | well, i did. | 20:39 |
| squishyy | hah | 20:39 |
| gt8 | :D | 20:39 |
| squishyy | yeah, it finished | 20:39 |
| squishyy | no erros | 20:39 |
| squishyy | errors* | 20:39 |
| gt8 | grub seemed to find / and install OK ? | 20:39 |
| squishyy | well i did what you said... | 20:40 |
| squishyy | let me reboot | 20:40 |
| squishyy | brb | 20:40 |
| gt8 | if so, you should be all safe to reboot mate. ;) | 20:40 |
| squishyy_ | holy crap it worked. | 20:42 |
| gt8 | squishyy_, well, I am god. | 20:43 |
| gt8 | *cough* | 20:43 |

| ibuclaw | so long and thanks for all the fish | 21:16 |
| ibuclaw | hi there PD187 | 21:35 |
| PD187 | hello ibuclaw | 21:36 |
| ZachK_ | PD187: !!! | 21:36 |
| PD187 | ZachK_, ??? | 21:36 |
| ZachK_ | PD187: you've been AWAY | 21:37 |
| ibuclaw | ZachK_, iii | 21:37 |
| ZachK_ | PD187: like really away | 21:37 |
| PD187 | no just silent. | 21:37 |
| ZachK_ | lol | 21:37 |
| PD187 | been busy moving things around on my desktop | 21:38 |
| PD187 | hopefully the reboots will help my network speed be normal. | 21:38 |
| PD187 | nope. It's the drive. Pity. | 21:40 |
| moonrock | I've got a clean 10.04 install, and noticed that the update notifier is not notifying me when there are updates. If I run the update manager, it finds them and updates without issue. The notifier is set to run in my startup apps. Any ideas why it's not working? | 22:11 |
| phillw | moonrock: you can configure update manager as to how you want to be told about updates | 22:12 |
| moonrock | I've got it configured to check daily and only notify about available updates, but I never get notifications. | 22:33 |
| phillw | moonrock: i think only security updates are coming out atm, as there is a release of 10.04.1 due | 22:34 |
| ibuclaw | pekwm is nice | 22:35 |
| phillw | I pull them in as they turn up, but you must enable "proposed" to do that and it could make the system unstable. with 10.04 being a LTS, they may be keeping them back | 22:35 |
| phillw | hi ibuclaw | 22:35 |
| moonrock | Thanks, phillw | 22:36 |
| phillw | ibuclaw: would be able to tell you better | 22:37 |
| phillw | hi, if apt-get install *package* puts stuff on, what is the equivalent apt-get to tell it to get the heck off my computer? | 22:53 |
| paultag | phillw, hehe, do you want to get rid of conf files too? | 22:55 |
| paultag | phillw, it's either remove or purge, remove will remove the binary files ( but not conf files ) and purge will remove conf files as well | 22:55 |
| paultag | phillw, you can run a clean and an auto-clean to clean up the downloaded .deb as well :) | 22:55 |
| paultag | phillw, all good? | 22:59 |
| phillw | looks good, i wish it was a ppa :-\ | 23:00 |
| paultag | phillw, what app was it? | 23:00 |
| phillw | paultag: it's okay, i was advised to put pulseaudio on for skype support & it didn't work, it sill could not 'see' my microphone, i should have been concentrating on alsa | 23:04 |
| paultag | ahha | 23:05 |
| phillw | i can now head off and look up why my microphone is not working :-0 | 23:06 |
| ibuclaw | phillw, tell moonrock better about what ? | 23:06 |
| ibuclaw | paultag, son of a gun! :P | 23:06 |
| paultag | ibuclaw, oh what the hell? | 23:07 |
| phillw | ibuclaw: (22:11:40) moonrock: I've got a clean 10.04 install, and noticed that the update notifier is not notifying me when there are updates. If I run the update manager, it finds them and updates without issue. The notifier is set to run in my startup apps. Any ideas why it's not working? | 23:07 |
| phillw | i suggested it be that certain updates are being held back for 10.04.1 and he would need to enable 'proposed'; but that could make the system unstable. | 23:08 |
| ibuclaw | paultag, you missed he who shall not be named ;) | 23:19 |
| paultag | oh lawdy | 23:20 |
| ibuclaw | is he actually banned from FreeNode ? | 23:21 |
| ibuclaw | phillw, sorry... I've just looked at your question | 23:24 |
| PD187 | if it's who I think it is, it's a K-Line | 23:24 |
| ibuclaw | yes, he did ... but am not sure for what | 23:24 |
| ibuclaw | he wasn't too much of a nuance in this channel - for once | 23:24 |
| ibuclaw | nhandler, may have done it behind the scenes after I tipped him off | 23:25 |
| ibuclaw | if so, /me hugs nhandler :) | 23:25 |
| ibuclaw | phillw, they turned off update notifying in Jaunty or Karmic iirc | 23:26 |
| ibuclaw | hello wernerx | 23:26 |
| wernerx | hello | 23:26 |
| wernerx | i want some help from you | 23:26 |
| ibuclaw | from me? | 23:27 |
| ibuclaw | :) | 23:27 |
| wernerx | if you can help me with a script | 23:27 |
| ibuclaw | wernerx, listening | 23:27 |
| wernerx | i have a script to install many apps | 23:27 |
| ibuclaw | phillw, Ubuntu instead has the update-notifier just pop-up infront of you whenever a security update appears | 23:27 |
| ibuclaw | phillw, this behaviour can be changed in gconf though | 23:27 |
| wernerx | but i comment some lines with the sign # | 23:28 |
| wernerx | all the apps before the # sign are installed ,but those after that sign are ignored.Why? | 23:28 |
| ibuclaw | # is a comment. It is ignored by the shell parser | 23:29 |
| wernerx | this is my script :#!/bin/bash | 23:30 |
| wernerx | ####################################################################### | 23:30 |

| ibuclaw | oic | 23:30 |
| wernerx | everything that is before # Archining Software is installing | 23:31 |
| ibuclaw | wernerx, newlines == new command in bash | 23:31 |
| drubin | wernerx: you can just end the line of \ | 23:32 |
| wernerx | well how can I keep that # commented line and in the same time to make linux install the apps that are written after #? | 23:32 |
| drubin | that tells bash the next line is part of the next command. | 23:32 |
| wernerx | how? | 23:32 |
| drubin | not sure it will work with #comments | 23:32 |
| drubin | wernerx: try sudo ap..... -perl \ | 23:33 |
| drubin | #archivce stuff | 23:33 |
| drubin | unace .....xarchive | 23:33 |
| drubin | wernerx: Or simply put it in a string var. | 23:33 |
| wernerx | string var? | 23:34 |
| drubin | APPS="build-essential........" | 23:34 |
| drubin | #archive stuff | 23:35 |
| ibuclaw | drubin++ | 23:35 |
| drubin | APPS="$APPS unrar....." | 23:35 |
| ibuclaw | drubin-- | 23:35 |
| ibuclaw | :) | 23:35 |
| drubin | the sudo aptitude install $APPS | 23:35 |
| drubin | ibuclaw: what did I do now? is there a better way to append strings in bahs? | 23:35 |
| wernerx | thank you ,i'll try it rigt now | 23:36 |
| drubin | no first listen to ibuclaw | 23:36 |
| wernerx | ibuclaw,please tell me if the advice from drubin is good | 23:37 |
| wernerx | will work his solution? | 23:37 |
| drubin | wernerx: it wont break any thing... but he said drubin -- so I asssume he has a *better* solution | 23:38 |
| ibuclaw | drubin, I'd rather keep it separate if I intend to make a distinction between the two | 23:38 |
| wernerx | writing APPS=" in front of every applications lines? | 23:38 |
| ibuclaw | wernerx, http://paste.ubuntu.com/441513/ | 23:38 |
| drubin | ok his way is better ;-p | 23:39 |
| ibuclaw | drubin, and you are the php developer between us... | 23:40 |
| drubin | but it uses 2 variables so it much much much much much more work :) | 23:40 |
| ibuclaw | LOL | 23:40 |
| drubin | ok need to get off my phone now. | 23:40 |
| ibuclaw | drubin, kk | 23:40 |
| drubin | latency is killing me :) but hope you get sorted wernerx | 23:41 |
| ibuclaw | wernerx, oh, and why the "echo Installing Gnome Apps" ? | 23:41 |
| wernerx | that line that start with echo i did copy from another script and i did think that it will display that message | 23:41 |
| ibuclaw | especially when none of the packages listed are gnome apps.... | 23:41 |
| ibuclaw | (talk about telling users lies) | 23:42 |
