| ZenMasta | quitin time! | 00:00 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, but if I have XBMC set to my xsession then it would just try and start that | 00:00 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, how do I change my xsession manually | 00:00 |
| FlameTai1 | Um guys, does anyone know a fix for the bug where when you enable Compiz it makes your system alerts not work? | 00:00 |

| alireza | ow , its my first time using x chat | 00:01 |
| mindriot | Hdale85, maybe XMBC would work that way, just worth an experiment | 00:01 |
| ZachK_ | alireza: cool | 00:01 |
| alireza | thx | 00:01 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, I tried earlier and it didn't lol | 00:01 |

| doormat81 | I'm a former VisualBasic programmer (amateur) but I'd like to begin developing apps for Linux. What language and GUI interface creation software would be best (and relatively easiest) to learn? I've found a website that recommends Ruby and Glade, but I'd like more ideas. | 00:02 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, I just get a black screen no mouse even when I do startx | 00:02 |
| emhs | doormat81: I'd lean you towards python. | 00:02 |
| acerimmer | doormat81: python | 00:02 |
| sebsebseb | doormat81: Ruby is ok, but Python is useaully recommend as a first | 00:02 |
| mindriot | oh, i guess I got that wrong before, I thought you got a mouse cursor. | 00:02 |
| mindriot | what kind of display? | 00:02 |
| h00k | !quickly | doormat81 | 00:03 |
| YankDownUnder | doormat81, Python is a good point to start with. | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | doormat81: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly | 00:03 |
| h00k | !info quickly | doormat81 | 00:03 |
| ubottu | doormat81: quickly (source: quickly): build new apps quickly. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.4.2-0ubuntu1 (lucid), package size 38 kB, installed size 516 kB | 00:03 |
| mindriot | check the X log for the mode it picked and whether your display is capable of handling it | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: heh in a way at the pm about the image :D | 00:03 |
| emhs | doormat81: There are a lot of graphical kits available for python, ranging from QT to GTK to TK and even wxWidgets | 00:03 |
| Sm3gal | its how it looks | 00:03 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: ok right yeah, if when you try to boot up Ubuntu and your getting something like that showing on the screen, then yes Plymouth crashed | 00:03 |
| Hdale85 | if they display couldn't handle it the mouse cursor wouldn't show up when I first boot I don't think | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | h00k: Great minds think alike (and so do we:) | 00:03 |
| h00k | Jordan_U: horray! | 00:04 |
| Hdale85 | but the display is the same as the old one regardless, but I'll check it ou | 00:04 |
| Sm3gal | i thought plymouth was a car? | 00:04 |
| Sm3gal | well how i fix it | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: Plymouth is the name of the boot up that 10.04 uses | 00:04 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: you used to see the uhmm purple dots moving and such yes? | 00:04 |
| Sm3gal | how i fix it | 00:04 |
| Sm3gal | yes | 00:04 |
| doormat81 | emhs, see, I'm totally new to linux programming and not too familiar with qt, gtk, tk, etc. | 00:05 |
| doormat81 | emhs, I'm assuming I need to pick one to learn along with python in order to do anything useful? | 00:05 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: to fix this your going to need the recovery mode, or Live CD | 00:05 |

| luka1 | acerimmer: where do i find panels? | 00:07 |
| abstrakt | i know what to add, but apparently there's stuff i should remove as well | 00:07 |
| acerimmer | luka1: right click on the panel you want to move | 00:07 |
| Jordan_U | cheekee: Right now Fedora is controlling the boot menu, and not giving an option to boot Ubuntu. I am pretty sure that if you let Ubuntu controll the boot menu, it will give an option to boot fedora | 00:07 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: when the computer loads up I think its if you hold down esc | 00:07 |
| IdleOne | abstrakt: #ubuntustudio might know the exact packages | 00:08 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: Grub 2's boot menu will show up, if not already showing | 00:08 |

| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: yes you want recovery mode, thats the easiest way to try and fix | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | cheekee: Then follow this guide to install Ubuntu's grub2 to your mbr: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide | 00:09 |
| Hdale85 | there is a file to change the default xsession but I can't remember where it is.... I think maybe I just have an issue with XBMC | 00:09 |
| luka1 | acerimmer: right-click options "remove from panel" "move" "lock to panel" are grayed out and can't click em | 00:09 |
| ahuang | When I boot my computer, after grub, there is a considerably long blank screen before a quick purple ubuntu splash screen and then my desktop. Is this normal? | 00:09 |
| Jordan_U | cheekee: It will work just the same from your fedora installation as it would if you were running in a liveCD | 00:09 |
| Sm3gal | i got resume clean dpkg failsafe grub and netroot | 00:09 |
| acerimmer | cheekee: be aware that grub2 will fail if u have more than 4 primary partitions | 00:09 |
| Sm3gal | what one | 00:09 |
| IdleOne | ahuang: I have the same thing, last from 5 to 15 seconds. I assume it is normal | 00:10 |
| acerimmer | Luka1: you're trying to move the panel itself, right? | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | acerimmer: It's impossible to have more than 4 primary partitions with an msdos partition table, and grub2 supports GPT just fine. | 00:10 |
| cheekee | Jordan_U: sorry that is an old bootinfo...since then I used superdisk to update Ubuntu10 and it wrestled back control of the boot up from Fedora 13, while installing ne kernel | 00:10 |
| mindriot | Hdale85, there might be a line in Xorg's log telling you which mode it's selected... not sure though since my systems typically have a manual setup | 00:11 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: I think if you remove the default plymouth theme, in the root prompt, and only keep the text boot theme, that it might work to boot up without crashing on the boot up screen | 00:11 |
| cheekee | a new* | 00:11 |
| luka1 | acerimmer: yes. the top bar | 00:11 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, I didn't see anything. I'm looking on the forums trying to find the default xsession file | 00:11 |
| Sm3gal | i'm in term now | 00:11 |
| Jordan_U | cheekee: Ok, can you run the boot info script again to give the current situation? | 00:11 |
| acerimmer | luka1: so you right click on the top bar and...what? | 00:11 |
| Sm3gal | no graphical stuff | 00:11 |
| Sm3gal | just termanal | 00:12 |
| sebsebseb | Sm3gal: there are two themes by default | 00:12 |
| Hdale85 | mindriot, I think you set it in the xorg.conf file | 00:13 |
| mindriot | Hdale85, well if replacing ~/.xsession by typing something like "echo 'xterm' > ~/.xsession' doesn't come up anything, and you don't even get a mouse cursor, it makes me think that whatever resolution has been picked can't be handled by the screen | 00:13 |
| gryllida | how do I remove envelope from indicator applet leaving only the volume regulator? | 00:13 |
| luka1 | acerimmer: i right-click the top bar and the options i said above are grayed out and i can't use them | 00:13 |

| dsnyders | Hi all! Is it possible to convert a partition into a virtual machine disk file? | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: some how yeah | 00:22 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: well for Virtualbox some how not sure how maybe can find that one out in #vbox for VMware well theres VMware convert which can convert a pshyical Windows install into a virtual machine, but last time I tried it | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: it was the size of the partition :( | 00:23 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: VMware converter above | 00:24 |
| dsnyders | sebsebseb, Thanks for the pointers. I suppose I could do a partition resize before attempting a conversion. | 00:24 |

| sebsebseb | dsnyders: and then if its XP, you can like set up a hardware profile first, and I guess other versons of Windows. and then you got a hardware profile for the pshyical install with its drivers and such, and then another for the virtual machine once your running it as a vm. I read some webpages and tried VMware converter about a year or two ago or something. Why not just do a clean install though of Windows, which is what I assume your | 00:26 |

| sebsebseb | dsnyders: oh right ok | 00:27 |
| sebsebseb | dsnyders: there is even a way to boot up a pshyicall install of Windows in virtual machine software, but I do not know the details | 00:28 |
| dsnyders | sebsebseb, If it were not for that, I'd wipe and reinstall in a heartbeat. | 00:28 |
| Loshki | nikolam: I don't know the answer, but take a look at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto#Converting_an_ext3_filesystem_to_ext4 and maybe you can come back and tell me... | 00:30 |

| linu- | how do I create a regular port 21 ftp account to a directory on my ubuntu web server? | 00:32 |

| sebsebseb | nikolam: disk checking will be faster the auotmatic boot up disk checking with Ext4 after so many boots, but other then that, you probably woudn't notice much difference, when it comes to Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 | 00:33 |

| ToeKutter | i havent been able to copy/paste | 00:37 |
| dsnyders | linu-, I thought I did, but then a question came to mind. Do you want an ftp server, or do you want your web server to show the contents of the directory as a web page? | 00:37 |
| profxavier | ToeKutter have you attempted to repair it, at any point ? | 00:38 |
| ToeKutter | nope | 00:38 |

| sebsebseb | profxavier: if you do Windows inside a Linux distro, you get a bit of a security advantage even :) since you know vms are just treated like normal data files yeah? So if you get a virus or whatever in Windows vm, just easily delete it, or easily use a clean copy. Most people that come here that do vm's use Virtualbox it seems. and #vmware is probably a good channel for your issue | 00:39 |

| webBuilder | MYVAR= "./cvs2svn/cvs2svn --trunk="$line"/trunk --branches="$line"/branches --tags="$line"/tags" | 00:41 |
| webBuilder | echo $MYVAR | 00:41 |
| Eneerge | install time? | 00:41 |
| trism | webBuilder: remove the space after MYVAR= | 00:41 |
| tripelb | FYI chrome flasblock incapacitates hulu | 00:42 |
| webBuilder | trism, Thank you | 00:42 |
| sebsebseb | profxavier: no since as far as I know Windows hadn't even been made yet, when I was born. and this is called off topic | 00:42 |
| Riviera | webBuilder: the quoting, the space after the =, the all-uppercase shell variable, the mistake of putting options into a string | 00:42 |
| trism | webBuilder: and you might want to replace the outer quotes with ' | 00:42 |
| dsnyders | linu-, wordpress is a CMS | 00:42 |
| Riviera | webBuilder: use an array instead | 00:42 |

| acerimmer | !mysql|kr3w | 00:43 |
| ubottu | kr3w: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | kr3w: hrm | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | kr3w: maybe in Wine | 00:43 |
| dsnyders | linu-, what are you using for a server, and what are you using for a client? | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | kr3w: however in a Windows virtual machine sure | 00:43 |
| sebsebseb | kr3w: why do you want the Microsoft version though? | 00:43 |
| kr3w | acerimmer: i said mssql not mysql, i know about mysql already | 00:43 |
| acerimmer | :~ | 00:43 |
| webBuilder | trism, Riviera , my goal is that variable called MYVAR will be executed later do you guys think I can do it | 00:44 |
| kr3w | sebsebseb: because i have applications that only work under mssql | 00:44 |
| sebsebseb | kr3w: oh :( | 00:44 |
| webBuilder | trism, Riviera , right now as a string is printing the command that I would like to execute | 00:44 |
| trism | webBuilder: oh wait, nm, didn't notice the variable expansion, nm | 00:44 |

I reinstall XP and when I reinstall Guest Addition, it says 'Unable to mount the CD/DVD image /usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso onthe machine Window XP'. How can I do that? | 00:50 |
| jon_ | sebsebseb: password i mean | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | jon_: ok go to the recovery mode, get the root prompt, do passwd username,and put in a new password, and I would do letters and numbers and at least and 8 characters long, so that it is reasoanbly secure | 00:50 |
| doormat81 | codebrainz, I'm guessing that Python would be easiest and most useful to learn. | 00:50 |
| kr3w | how do i mark the setup.exe in a mounted CD to be executable | 00:50 |
| jon_ | sebsebseb: Ok i'll do that | 00:50 |
| sebsebseb | jon_: longer the better I guess, and with stuff like $ % £ ^ ,but then harder to remember and such | 00:50 |
| dsnyders | linu-, I don't know if apache can act as an ftp server. | 00:50 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, i would like to learn C first if i could do it again, but most people would agree with python | 00:50 |
| linu- | ok, nevermind then | 00:51 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, the O'Reilly Learning Python and Programming Python books by MArk Lutz are good | 00:51 |

| linu- | thanks! | 00:53 |
| Loshki | nikolam: I also took a quick look. Ext4 specs are superior, no surprise there. But the question remains whether you would actually *notice* the change. If you _do_ decide to upgrade, I think many people would be interested in your before and after numbers. NOTE: to continue this discussion, let's move it to #ubuntu-offtopic... | 00:53 |
| doormat81 | codebrainz, I guess what I'm trying to understand is this: python is the language, but in order to do anything useful from a GUI standpoint, I'd need to learn another system, either gtk, qt, etc? | 00:53 |
| sebsebseb | nikolam: btfs is not stable yet | 00:53 |
| Jordan_U | kr3w: Not currently possible AFAIK. "wine /path/to/foo.exe" should work though. | 00:53 |
| webBuilder | Riviera, I have posted my small call on pestbin site if there any one who wants to look at it and make changes in order to execute my command that convert from cvs to svn will be really cool | 00:53 |

| n8w | hey | 00:55 |
| sebsebseb | nikolam: SqLite? you meant Sqlite? thats a database | 00:55 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, yep, you load the glade file in your python script and use the widgets | 00:55 |
| tsimpson | kr3w: you'll need to mount the CD manually with "mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -t iso9660 -o mode=0555", if you are using wine you can just do something like: wine 'D:\setup.exe' | 00:55 |
| kr3w | aww okay | 00:55 |

| kr3w | thanks | 00:55 |
| doormat81 | codebrainz, okay, thank you. I'm afraid I've been pampered by VisualBasic and have a lot to learn about REAL programming :) | 00:55 |

| cyborgsmurf | How do I create a installfile in ubuntu like bin.tar.bz2? | 00:57 |
| doormat81 | codebrainz, are there certain things that Python just can't do? I have a very specific, rather extensive application I'm planning on developing eventually. | 00:57 |
| cris | no | 00:57 |
| sebsebseb | Jordan_U: well the file system guy, put the message out about maybe in 10.10. Not in 11.04 either? Ok to be honest I don't know that much about that file system yet. I guess its got quite a while to go yet though, before most distros are using it as the default instead of Ext4. A year or so? | 00:57 |
| Zelozelos | |corpse|, then that would prob mean that there is no win 9 support in ubuntu, somehow that wouldnt supprise me, since it is from u know who | 00:57 |
| |corpse| | Zelozelos: yeah, i just figured somone would have it working by now | 00:58 |

| SpazStatic | Loshki: Yeah, I know. You don't happen to remember me from a month or so ago with the major sound issues? | 00:59 |
| holocene | codebrainz: then C is not dynamically typed? | 00:59 |

| Jordan_U | sebsebseb: It's mostly https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas that has me doubting it will be ready for 10.10. I just remembered that meego is already using it by default though, so maybe 11.04 is more likely than I first thought. | 00:59 |

| cyborgsmurf | DasEi : its a mod from Glest (a 3D strategic-game for linux) | 01:05 |
| dark1 | thats what i did | 01:05 |
| codebrainz | dsnyders, shouldn't be much trouble then. Check out PyGTK + Cairo + PyGame(SDL) on google. all well documented | 01:06 |
| Zelozelos | dark1, heh, maybe its a piece of the puzzle idk, it was just a guess i only knew that you could join commands w && the | dont work | 01:06 |
| Riviera | dsnyders: I guess everything I know is very dated, google would seriously reveal better results | 01:06 |
| dsnyders | codebrainz, I'd be more or less starting from scratch. | 01:06 |
| dark1 | any other ideas :P | 01:06 |
| Benkinooby | hi there, does some1 know a lightweight musicplayer with good music libary management? i really like amarok, but it's too heavy... | 01:06 |
| codebrainz | dsnyders, well if you remember the basic constructs of program, you've skipped a good month of learning :) | 01:06 |
| Loshki | dark1: according to my man page, if you want gzip to act as a filter, you have to use the '-' filename... | 01:06 |
| DasEi | cyborgsmurf: so steps will be to compile it from source succesful first and then make a deb from it, which automates the dependency-check and the install-routine | 01:06 |
| abadr | What's the right way to get postgresql running from a different cluster location? | 01:07 |
| dark1 | so i cant define it as variable :( | 01:07 |
| buppa_ | Anyone knows a goood way to reduce the CPU usage? Firefox is always consuming 25% in Ubuntu, in Windows XP its only consuming 1%. | 01:07 |
| codebrainz | buppa_, stop using flash :) | 01:07 |
| Zelozelos | Benkinooby, well, rythmbox is good dats what i use | 01:07 |
| cyborgsmurf | DasEi: it seems Im the non-geek ;) | 01:07 |
| buppa_ | codebrainz, i dont .. | 01:07 |
| buppa_ | codebrainz, flash is uninstalled | 01:08 |
| FrozenInferno | maybe a stupid question, but is there a program for *nix that can handle an iPhone/iPod Touch like iTunes? | 01:08 |
| kr3w | buppa_: check the cache size | 01:08 |
| buppa_ | kr3w, how? | 01:08 |
| codebrainz | buppa_, does it really matter? is anything else using the CPU? | 01:08 |
| Loshki | dark1: um, try this: pg_dump -U waterfind $DBNAME | gzip -c - > $DBPATH | 01:08 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: yea..i was going too fast and accidentally hit delete on it | 01:08 |
| kr3w | buppa_: its somewhere in the options, i don't have ff on ubuntu but i know there is something somewhere | 01:08 |
| dark1 | Loshki : okie | 01:08 |
| Loshki | dark1: note the added '-' argument.... | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: ok I think this will add it back, or I guess you can yourself in the menu editor | 01:08 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | stairmast0r | 01:08 |
| ubottu | stairmast0r: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 01:08 |
| buppa_ | kr3w, i have browser.cache.disk.enable set to false | 01:09 |
| abadr | FrozenInferno: tried googling? | 01:09 |
| kr3w | buppa_: try edit > preferences then look for something related. | 01:09 |
| DasEi | cyborgsmurf: as said, I'm pressed by some other stuff in recent times, but for a startup do a compile froma known good app, then try to do the same for that game , then look into tools for building debs | 01:09 |
| Loshki | SpazStatic: welcome back anyway. Got a ubuntu question for us? | 01:09 |
| kr3w | buppa_: try going to a really simple website then see what happens to CPU usage compared to another site | 01:09 |
| Riviera | dsnyders: no worries, playing around with python shouldn't be wasted time (even considering the large amount of other decent programming languages), a good starting point might be http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide but #python surely knows best :) | 01:09 |

| Callum__ | WHOO, fixed the resolution, I never thought I would get this to work properly | 01:10 |
| DasEi | cyborgsmurf: fine | 01:10 |
| Callum__ | only problem is, where the hell are the GNOME panels | 01:10 |
| FrozenInferno | abadr: yeah, i found some stuff, it was just a few pages past where i stopped. | 01:10 |
| IdleOne | !language | stairmast0r | 01:10 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: i don't want to reset them to the default, because then i'll lose my later added launchers, wouldn't i? | 01:10 |
| ubottu | stairmast0r: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:10 |
| cyborgsmurf | DasEi: you are too far away in knowledge... I dont udnerstand it all | 01:10 |
| Benkinooby | Zelozelos: thx | 01:10 |
| cyborgsmurf | bbl | 01:10 |
| abadr | FrozenInferno: it looks like Banshee is what you want | 01:10 |
| Loshki | stairmast0r: such language isn't used on this channel, even if you say 'pardon my language' afterwards... | 01:10 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: yeah | 01:10 |
| dsnyders | Riviera, codebrainz, true enough. function calls, basic loop structures, conditional statements are all going to be familiar. It's the syntax and the command vocabulary that will be the main struggles. That and windowing. Back when I last did programming, it was on an Atari 600XL. | 01:11 |
| dark1 | Loshki : $DBPATH: ambiguous redirect :( | 01:11 |
| Callum__ | okay, my GNOME panels are gone and I have no idea how to get them back. | 01:11 |
| kr3w | how do i restore the wine application after deleting it from menu | 01:11 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: that's the problem..i need my other launchers back as well | 01:11 |
| dsnyders | Riviera, Thanks for the link and the channel reference. | 01:11 |
| Loshki | dark1: what does echo $DBPATH say? | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: system > preferences > main menu | 01:11 |
| kr3w | re-installing the application doesn't bring it back for sure | 01:11 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: or maybe a little different on Ubuntu, using another distro at the moment :) | 01:12 |
| FrozenInferno | abadr: ok, i'll give it a shot. i also saw gtkpod, rhythmbox, and amarok as viable options. i'll play around and see what i can do. thanks | 01:12 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: i know, i was in there when i deleted it | 01:12 |
| codebrainz | Callum__, Alt+F2 then type 'gnome-panel' | 01:12 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: and thats how you can add it back | 01:12 |
| Riviera | dsnyders: have fun & good luck :) | 01:12 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: except i don't remember what all was on there before :/ | 01:12 |
| dark1 | Loshki : /home/WF/yalo/dbbackup/backup.wf-dev2.10.06.08- 9.42.gz | 01:13 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: is there a way to back it up before i reset it? | 01:13 |
| aurilliance | I'm on UNE and need to flash my bios - how can I do this with a USB??? | 01:13 |
| Callum__ | <codebrainz> Callum__, Alt+F2 then type 'gnome-panel' - yeah, that worked, but will it stay? let's see... | 01:13 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: then i could copy what was on the reset one to the good one | 01:13 |
| Loshki | dark1: is that even a legal filename? there's a unescaped space in it.... | 01:13 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: also I didn't know bots could cry untill you offended ubottu a little while ago. anyway uhmm easy to add stuff back with menu editor, and you don't need most of the stuff on the menus really | 01:13 |
| Callum__ | after log-out it disappears... | 01:14 |
| dark1 | uh oh let me try again | 01:14 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: could i get them back by reinstalling the software that was on it? | 01:14 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: and will reinstalling firefox get rid of my addons? | 01:14 |
| Callum__ | I have to killall gnome-panel to get it to show... | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: no it won't, since thats stored in the hidden .mozilla folder in Home | 01:14 |
| Callum__ | every time it logs in | 01:14 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: so yeah re installing the apps is one way | 01:14 |
| codebrainz | Callum__, i don't use gnome, but i think it has a gui to set startup programs, you could put it in there. | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: or I guess re install Firefox and it will put Internet menu back | 01:15 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: i think i'll go with that. do you have a mostly stock menu that you could list the apps from? | 01:15 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: you can see what you have installed in the software centre even | 01:15 |
| quaa | yeah, anyone know how to mount a raid0 set from just the two hdds of a dead external enclosure? | 01:17 |
| jon_ | can someone tell me how to change my username in ubuntu? | 01:17 |
| codebrainz | Callum__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/542343 | 01:17 |
| dark1 | Loshki : thanks , its a path issue :( | 01:17 |
| stairmast0r | sebsebseb: reinstalling didn't help... | 01:18 |
| Loshki | dark1: yeah, figures :-) | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: Running another distro at the moment :) which is also running Gnome, so the menus are quite similar, but not quite. I don't feel like loading up Ubuntu in a virtual machine to tell you what kind of stuff you should have in the menus, but there are plenty of other people here, who could tell you what should be in the menus. | 01:18 |
| dark1 | im using TODAY=$(date +"%y.%m.%d-%k.%M") to get the time stamp on path, thats where the space come from, anyway to take it out | 01:18 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: altough your installed, well I guess what software says is isntalled, you should also be able to access from menus | 01:18 |
| Loshki | jon_: I see lots of hits on google. Try this one for starters: http://www.ehow.com/how_5924282_change-user-name-ubuntu.html | 01:18 |
| dark1 | may be 24h time ? | 01:19 |
| aurilliance | I have just plugged a flash drive in, and am trying to unmount it using "sudo unmount /dev/sdXXX" How can I tell what letter I need to replace XXX with? | 01:19 |
| DasEi | qaa:you got to mount them, then use mdadm, though if hd' s are fine, just connecting them should do it (fstab) | 01:19 |
| aurilliance | the author of a post I'm following says to use fdisk -l, but it doesn't show anything | 01:19 |
| sebsebseb | stairmast0r: what software centre says you have installed, should be in the menus as well I guess | 01:19 |
| codebrainz | aurilliance, type 'mount' | 01:20 |
| DasEi | aurilliance: sudo fdisk -l | 01:20 |
| belal1 | i have a microsoft lifecam. the video works great but for some reason, the mic on it does not work at all. what could be the problem? it works under windows perfectly... | 01:20 |
| codebrainz | aurilliance, as root it will list the drives, but not where they are mounted | 01:20 |
| aurilliance | codebrainz, DasEi thanks both | 01:20 |
| DasEi | np | 01:20 |
| jon_ | Loshki: thank you | 01:21 |
| codebrainz | belal1, what software are you using with it? | 01:21 |

| mfpcokets | Hi, anyone know how to play 720p .mkv on an acer aspire one net book? I used this method on XP http://www.infobarrel.com/How_to_watch_720p_mkv_x264_movies_on_an_Acer_Aspire_One_Windows_XP_Netbook and it worked like a charm but cant find a linux equivilant | 01:21 |
| belal1 | i'm using empathy. but i also tried using sound recorder. | 01:21 |
| DasEi | qaa:how do you connect them now ? | 01:21 |
| IdleOne | !sound | belal1 Check your input device is not muted | 01:22 |
| ubottu | belal1 Check your input device is not muted: 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. | 01:22 |
| DasEi | mfpcokets: I think vlc plays them | 01:22 |
| quaa | DasEi: i am guessing it was a hw raid set, not really sure how WD set them up | 01:22 |
| sjokkis | for some reason the numpad on my laptop activates randomly. after some varying time interval, my keyboard layout will change so that the keys on my right hand (890uiojklm) produce numbers rather than letters. setting the keyboard layout with setxkbmap fixes the problem until it happens again. can anyone offer an opinion on what might cause this? | 01:22 |
| DasEi | mfpcokets: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras vlc | 01:22 |
| belal1 | thanks guys, i'm going to check out those links. it's not muted though, i've checked. | 01:22 |
| mfpcokets | DasEi, it does but im loosing lots of frames | 01:22 |
| codebrainz | belal1, happen to have a lifecam sitting here, let me try | 01:22 |
| belal1 | :) thanks | 01:23 |
| DasEi | qaa: if enclosure is broken, how do you connect the hd's now ? | 01:23 |
| IdleOne | belal1: was that the issue? | 01:23 |
| quaa | DasEi: i ripped them out of the enclosure and they are now connected to my working sata card. | 01:23 |
| sebsebseb | belal1: well thats good the web cam works :) in the future its a good idea to buy hardware that you know is supported by the manufacture when it comes to Linux :) | 01:23 |
| SpazStatic | Loshki: Yeah, monitor problems. Comp thinks that the max resolution is 640x480, which is below the minimum reported res on other computers (800x600). | 01:23 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest22728 | ||
| mfpcokets | DasEi, thanks, ill try that | 01:24 |
| belal1 | IdleOne: i don't know the issue. i suspected it was first muted, but that wasn't the case. I tried switching settings under sound preferences but they all failed. | 01:24 |
| DasEi | qaa: so you have one hd running ubu now and the two hd's connected to same sys ? | 01:25 |
| belal1 | sebsebseb: Yeah, your right. Though to my defence I was just converting a windows xp system to Lucid.... | 01:25 |
| quaa | DasEi: they are two 500 gb disks, disk one shows one partition that is 1TB in space, where disk 2 shows no partitions. both have a perfect log in smartctl. | 01:25 |
| codebrainz | belal1, yea my lifecam "cinema" works perfect, A and V | 01:25 |
| Loshki | SpazStatic: it's a new hardware setup? | 01:25 |
| quaa | DasEi: i have them both connected to the system running a live CD. | 01:25 |
| IRConan | hi there... does the ubuntu livecd have support for experimental BTRFS? | 01:25 |
| codebrainz | sebsebseb, lifecam's ARE supposed to be supported, at least by v4l2 | 01:25 |
| sebsebseb | belal1: yeah and Microsoft don't like Linux much | 01:25 |
| DasEi | qaa: so you are fine then in raid 0 (striped) | 01:25 |
| Benkinooby | hi, i removed all the kde from my kubuntu and installed fluxbox and lubuntu (lxde)... now i experience some issues with graphic performance... when there are many windows open, moving windows is very slow... the laptop itself is still fast... i chekced /etc/X11 and found out, that i only have a xorg.conf.failsafe but no xorg.conf... how can i mkae up/generate a new xorg file... or is there an other way recommended? | 01:25 |
| Loshki | codebrainz: I'm in the market for a cam. What model would you recommend? | 01:26 |
| SpazStatic | Loshki: everything is the same except that I am now on Linx, and the monitor is different than the previous one. | 01:26 |

| stairmast0r | !panels | 01:26 |
| ubottu | To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 01:26 |
| quaa | DasEi: yeah well if i just mount the one disk and try to list its contents it doesnt work as expected, dont really know how to mount them and tell the system it was a raid set | 01:26 |
| Leodwarf | Hello | 01:26 |

| drs305 | tomas_90: Good day. Having grub2 problems? | 01:27 |
| Jordan_U | quaa: This is the problem with what is sold as "hardware" raid in desktop systems, you don't get any performance improvement since it's all still done with the CPU and you get the downside of proprietary metadata formats making arrays hard to recover | 01:27 |

| sebsebseb | phong_: you should install from the repo only really, unless you really have to get from them, since when you install from them, you are likely to get problems | 01:29 |
| phong_ | it's like log off and terminate the graphic thing then install with .run | 01:29 |

| phong_ | in order to install nvidia | 01:36 |
| jon1 | i love how ubuntu always fails me | 01:36 |
| Exxon | how to fix hard disk problem (bad sectors)..! | 01:36 |
| phong_ | can anyone tell me how to switch to linux command mode? | 01:36 |
| phong_ | ctrl+f1 | 01:36 |
| phong_ | ??? | 01:36 |
| cyborgsmurf | DasEi: *yawn* anyway Im to tired to try anything today Good Night everyone and thank you all so very much | 01:36 |
| quaa | DasEi: there any way you can explain? i dont have much experience with mdadm | 01:36 |
| codebrainz | jon1, are you using LVM or actual software raid? | 01:36 |
| phong_ | is it ctrl+alt+f1 ? | 01:36 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | aurilliance, codebrainz, I need to free up some space in /, so I want to move /var to /backup/var using symbolic link. is it possilbe? | 01:37 |
| aurilliance | rafaelsoaresbr, "cd / && mkdir backup && mv /var /backup/var" | 01:38 |
| aurilliance | then you'd need to create the link (i can't remember the specifics, but it's the ln command) | 01:38 |
| codebrainz | rafaelsoaresbr, best would be to mount /var to /backup/var in /etc/fstab i would think, after moving the files | 01:38 |
| aurilliance | ^ | 01:38 |

| DasEi | qaa: I'm not much in techs these days, but lets try : | 01:39 |
| codebrainz | luis_, that's so not an actual error message, or proper english | 01:39 |
| Loshki | InnerFIRE_: this channel is a good place to ask for audio help... | 01:39 |
| luis_ | shit | 01:39 |
| joshdreamland | Its description reads, "If you wish to enable desktop effects, this driver is required." Well, the driver's active, and desktop effects don't work. | 01:39 |
| codebrainz | Exxon, badblocks or fsck i guess | 01:39 |
| luis_ | my problem is | 01:39 |
| DasEi | qaa: sudo mdadm -A /dev/md0 | 01:40 |

| Loshki | InnerFIRE_: stop hitting return. Put it all on one line and the floodbot will leave you alone... | 01:40 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: please stop flooding, keep all of your things to one line | 01:40 |
| InnerFIRE_ | ok | 01:41 |
| codebrainz | InnerFIRE_, unmute your audio in sound preferences | 01:41 |
| InnerFIRE_ | tried that | 01:41 |
| sjokkis | Loshki: i think it's just a setting somewhere that changes my keyboard layout | 01:41 |
| T1750 | getdeb is down right | 01:41 |
| sjokkis | Loshki: i simply have no idea where that might be | 01:41 |
| InnerFIRE_ | every options u are about to suggest to me i've tried | 01:41 |
| aurilliance | I'm following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694513 and at step 6 it says to put your BIOS flasher on the USB, what does that mean? | 01:41 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | aurilliance, codebrainz, /backup is on another partition, / partition is almost full (1Gb left). codebrainz: it sounds good, how to do that? | 01:41 |
| InnerFIRE_ | been working on this for a year | 01:41 |
| quaa | DasEi: then i try this http://pastebin.com/E7kBvgYj | 01:41 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: did you report a bug with your audio card? | 01:42 |
| aurilliance | I have downloaded a gigabyte bios update .zip, but what is the BIOS flasher? | 01:42 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: if you've tried everything else? | 01:42 |
| T1750 | i need a package called aria2 so i installed the lenny version (thought i was supposed to be able to install debian packages like that) from debian | 01:42 |
| T1750 | it malfunctions, is there an ubuntu version anywhere? | 01:42 |
| phong_ | hi | 01:42 |
| phong_ | i manage to get the nvidia install manually now | 01:42 |
| holmser | I just did a fresh install of a 10.04 lamp server, and installed phpmyadmin | 01:42 |
| phong_ | ;) | 01:42 |
| doormat81 | Could someone recommend a good text editor with Python syntax highlighting? | 01:42 |
| phong_ | horay | 01:42 |
| codebrainz | rafaelsoaresbr, totally guess here, but 'sudo cp -ar /var/* /backup/var' and then edit /etc/fstab file to make /backup/var be the mount point for /var | 01:42 |
| Loshki | sjokkis: sorry, I don't even know where to point you on that one. I don't think I've ever even *used* setxkbmap. Keep asking. Maybe an X guru will show up later... | 01:42 |
| h00k | doormat81: vim is quite nice, although it has a higher learning curve to it | 01:43 |
| holmser | I'm trying to create a database, but it says I have "no privilages" | 01:43 |

| * T1750 asks question where is list of very unsupported community may be very insecure don't care repositories or packages web urls | 01:43 | |
| holmser | any ideas? | 01:43 |
| InnerFIRE_ | look man.. this has been an ongoing problem with ubuntu since ibex. im not the only one with the problem. plenty of sound problems since integrating with pulseaudio | 01:43 |
| T1750 | arand: really? im on luciod | 01:43 |
| * T1750 tries again | 01:43 | |

| Ubuntu_with_Coff | Hello yes is there any 1 here that can help me with an usb head set the sound is not working on it | 01:43 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, Geany is my fav | 01:43 |
| jon1 | I have a fresh install of ubuntu, it doesnt load grub (just blinking cursor). I have a software raid. | 01:44 |
| h00k | doormat81: gedit can do syntax hilighting | 01:44 |
| dsnyders | codebrainz, Riviera, there is a turtle graphics library for python. That should help to get the sand out of the coding gearbox. | 01:44 |
| sef | hi can I use ext4 for /boot ? | 01:44 |
| sef | with 10.04 | 01:44 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_with_Coff, unmute the device in sound preferences | 01:44 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: does the bug exist for the version you are currently are using? | 01:44 |
| mneptok | sef: yes | 01:44 |
| InnerFIRE_ | this needs to be fix. sound of of the box. ive never even experienced anything like this windows. audio from headphones but not speakers? i mean.. even windows hasnt had a weirder problem | 01:44 |
| doormat81 | codebrainz, yeah, that looks about like what I had in mind. Thanks again | 01:44 |
| InnerFIRE_ | what verions.. | 01:44 |
| doormat81 | Thanks, h00k. | 01:44 |
| codebrainz | dsnyders, isn't that for 6 year olds :) | 01:44 |
| InnerFIRE_ | im on 10.04? | 01:44 |
| Loshki | T1750: I didn't think any repos other than the 'official' Ubuntu ones were supported. If for no other reason than it would be impossible to test all the combinations... | 01:44 |
| masterslakk | think wc3 will be nice in wine? | 01:44 |
| === joshua__ is now known as liquidweaver | ||
| InnerFIRE_ | its been like this since ibex | 01:44 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, works good in windows too, if you use it | 01:44 |
| Ubuntu_with_Coff | brainz all is unmuted | 01:44 |
| sef | mneptok: sweet, thanks! | 01:45 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: What sound card do you have? | 01:45 |
| Ubuntu_with_Coff | still no audio | 01:45 |
| jon1 | wow, im amazed that such a blatant issue is present with ubuntu... | 01:45 |
| SpazStatic | Loshki: Oh, ok, so I just figured something out. I "borrowed" a monitor from one of the other computers and hooked it up as well. It has a default res pf 1280x1024, and is identified as dell blah blah blah. The other monitor is identified as CRT-0, which signifies an error. | 01:45 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | codebrainz, I thought that a symbolic link would solve my problem. I will try that. thanks | 01:45 |
| aurilliance | Can someone please help me out for a few seconds and look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694513 step 6? -I'm trying to flash my bios. | 01:45 |

| Sereph | how can i get more info to debug why my network printer doesnt show up when i type its ip in | 01:45 |
| T1750 | well the problem is with aria2 cause the same problem happens as with the lenny package | 01:45 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_with_Coff, pastebin the output of 'ls -l /dev/dsp*' | 01:45 |
| InnerFIRE_ | aplay -l shows this | 01:45 |
| dsnyders | codebrainz, it tickles the child within me :-) | 01:45 |
| aurilliance | It says to put the "BIOS flasher" onto the usb - what does that mean? | 01:45 |

| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | any way | 01:46 |
| aurilliance | I'm copying BIOS update files to a usb - if they are all .exe | 01:47 |
| Loshki | T1750: all I could find was this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/aria2/support | 01:47 |

| luis_ | please help me | 01:51 |
| T1750 | -qq means shut up and return me to the command prompt when i can use the program | 01:51 |
| Sereph | !ask | luis_ | 01:51 |

| T1750 | but i still get spammed to death about a bunch of stuff i don't care about or i'd run linux from scratch | 01:51 |

| edbian_ | Where can I get help for developing java on linux? | 01:52 |
| luis_ | Sereph: ¬¬ | 01:52 |
| Loshki | T1750: just redirect the output into a file.... | 01:52 |
| Sereph | luis_: what? | 01:52 |
| codebrainz | T1750, -qq No output except errors | 01:52 |
| Sereph | edbian_: ##Java? | 01:52 |
| T1750 | codebrainz: it outputs lots of not errors on install | 01:52 |
| codebrainz | T1750, lies! | 01:52 |
| T1750 | Loshki: good idea, and i like the way you think that *I* should change not the program, it solves the problem a zillion times quicker | 01:53 |
| edbian_ | Sereph, #java is invite only | 01:53 |
| Sereph | edbian_: i said ##java | 01:53 |
| Loshki | !es | luis_ | 01:53 |
| ubottu | luis_: 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. | 01:53 |
| * T1750 doesn't care enough to add the extra &>/dev/null though | 01:53 | |
| edbian_ | Sereph, Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services What does that mean? | 01:53 |
| h00k | !register | edbian_ | 01:53 |
| ubottu | edbian_: Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode | 01:53 |
| Sereph | edbian_: that you need to learn irc | 01:53 |
| jon1 | i think im going to try an reinstall grub form livecd, it seems like it doesnt know how to install fom the installation | 01:53 |
| codebrainz | T1750, yeah, just tried, i think that's dpkg outputting that. bummer | 01:53 |
| edbian_ | I already am registered on freenode | 01:54 |
| mneptok | Sereph: please be helpful. that was not. | 01:54 |
| Sereph | what client are you using that doesnt forward the channels... | 01:54 |
| Sereph | edbian_: identify for your nick | 01:54 |
| T1750 | codebrainz: that should be considered a bug apt-get is superior and should be allowed to tell dpkg to shut up | 01:54 |
| edbian_ | Sereph, I did! My client automatically does for me. That's how I got in here | 01:54 |
| * T1750 isn't going to report it though | 01:54 | |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | Hello i need help with a usb headset it does'nt have any audio -Thank you | 01:54 |
| codebrainz | T1750, apt just runs atop dpkg iirc | 01:54 |
| Sereph | edbian_: maybe the fact that your nick is edbian not edbian_ | 01:55 |
| T1750 | of course, by superior i mean it's the controller, dpkg is just a model | 01:55 |
| Loshki | T1750: please *do* report it.... | 01:55 |
| T1750 | if you think of the system | 01:55 |
| Sereph | mneptok: I'm sorry I wasn't aware this was IRC help... | 01:55 |

| abadr | How do I install postgresql without automatically creating a cluster? | 01:55 |
| mneptok | Sereph: your "learn to use IRC" comment is not in the spirit of the Code Of Conduct | 01:56 |
| Sereph | Sorry | 01:56 |
| edbian_ | Sereph, I identified again for good measure and I was able to get into ##java. Thanks for the help | 01:56 |
| T1750 | Loshki: I might do :) it means making yet another account my computer is badly damaged i did stupid stuff like reordered my partition table and formatted in the middle of nowhere | 01:56 |
| * T1750 fix those things first | 01:56 | |
| * T1750 bbr | 01:56 | |
| Loshki | T1750: agreed, fix those things first. You know about 'screen' ? | 01:57 |
| codebrainz | abadr, what do you mean by cluster? the default install is just a regular server install | 01:57 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | codebrainz i dont under stand how to get to the directory | 01:57 |
| abadr | codebrainz: I mean cluster as in a data directory that stores multiple databases that postgresql reads... | 01:57 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, go to Terminal, and type that | 01:57 |
| codebrainz | abadr, isn't that just how database servers work? what specifically are you trying to do? | 01:58 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok i have typed it in the terminal | 01:58 |
| sebastien | hi everybody, is there some french people ??? Coucou tout le monde, y a t il des français ? | 01:58 |

| sebastien | c'est vraiment très basique ! | 02:00 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: there is no channel dedicated to audio. Did you see the previous link I offerd? | 02:00 |
| Loshki | abadr: that's scary... | 02:00 |
| sebastien | j'ai l'impression de chater sur MS dos !!! | 02:00 |
| mneptok | sebastien: ecrivez "/join #ubuntu-fr" | 02:00 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, it looks like your device is not being properly detected. is it supposed to be supported? | 02:00 |
| mneptok | sebastien: sans "" | 02:00 |

| sebastien | hook, thanks ;) | 02:00 |

| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, if you re-plugin the headset and then run the command 'dmesg | tail -n 10' you should see some meaningful information | 02:02 |
| Jordan_U | jon1: Do you have more than one hard drive? | 02:02 |
| urthmover | 9.04 does not have these problems for me....what packages are different that I can sort this out? | 02:03 |

| jon1 | well i have 2 hdd as a software raid | 02:03 |
| amokpaule | im not sure | 02:04 |
| codebrainz | jon1, no luck installing grub from the livecd? | 02:04 |
| urthmover | codebrainz: well sometimes I am unable to put my cpu (using the gnome panel applet) on 2.67GHz...its stuck on 800MHz | 02:04 |
| dark1 | hello , in shellscript, what does if [ -d "$1" ] , -d consider as ? | 02:04 |
| InnerFIRE_ | the problem is that i can hear music through headphones bt not through the internal speakers | 02:04 |
| urthmover | codebrainz: I have installed sensors and am watching the temp of the cpu and it never goes over 70C | 02:04 |
| InnerFIRE_ | and i reported the bug almost a year and some change ago | 02:05 |
| amokpaule | Loshki, how can i found out? | 02:05 |
| urthmover | codebrainz: your thoughts? | 02:05 |

| urthmover | codebrainz: looking thx | 02:06 |
| codebrainz | luis_, i've never seen such a message. when does it say this? | 02:07 |
| urthmover | codebrainz: yep cpufreq-info and cpufreq-selector is what I have also been using to hard set this...thinking that it might be a gnome panel applet problem....but alas the problem persists on 10.04 for me | 02:08 |
| luis_ | codebrainz, are you an idiot??? in spanish we cant read and undrestand a lot grammatical forms ¬¬ | 02:08 |

| Agolightly | I just bought an belkin play router and i can not seem to get the setup cd to work. it gives me an error message. anyone familiar with this | 02:10 |
| InnerFIRE_ | h00k, ill perform them. but ive performed the before | 02:10 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, you can just use the Alternate cd and select Command line install. and kernel has a vesa and x also supports it | 02:11 |
| T1750 | Loshki: I used screen in the 90's before they invented GUI terminals with multiple tabs | 02:11 |
| Loshki | T1750: ok, it's just that it sounded like you could use it now... | 02:11 |
| T1750 | now i can't think why I'd want to use it unless to detach some program on a server, and i can't think of any program i'd want to detach | 02:11 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, if you want X, you need X + the vesa driver, if you just want the kernel framebuffer without X, then you just enable the vesafb driver (or uvesafb) | 02:12 |
| T1750 | Loshki: naah i a mix of GUI and CLI | 02:12 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: that's probably going to be your best bet, then if you report it on Launchpad, the Audio people will be able to see it and assist | 02:12 |
| * T1750 doesn't understand the purists | 02:12 | |
| Arthur___ | i have an older computer i dont need xorg i think vesa will do i want to know how to sudo apt-get vesa? | 02:13 |
| InnerFIRE_ | after 3 distros? | 02:13 |
| === Dreamglider is now known as OY1R | ||
| InnerFIRE_ | h00k this has been going on for over a year | 02:13 |
| Arthur___ | i am going to use the minimal cd and install packages as i need them | 02:13 |
| T1750 | Loshki: why did you think i could make use of it btw, i could always be wrong there may be an excellent reason for still using screen | 02:13 |
| Loshki | T1750: sorry, I thought you were the one complaining about spurious output from apt-get in the background, I just thought that if you ran it under screen it would keep all the output from getting mixed up... | 02:13 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, what do you expect from the framebuffer/vesa? it won't give you windows like X or window managers like metacity | 02:13 |
| T1750 | Loshki: Oh I was, but it was more comment than complaint | 02:14 |
| Arthur___ | i know sudo apt-get install xorg will install xorg but i want to use vesa driver instead..? | 02:14 |
| h00k | InnerFIRE_: It needs to be reported so the devs know about the problem. Please report it and that you're having a problem with Lucid. | 02:14 |
| T1750 | on a scale of 1-10 of care i'm about a 0.5 | 02:14 |
| SaEeDIRHA | hello, how can i fix my apt-get package manager ? i have removed some files manually and now when i run "apt-get autoremove" it shows me an error message that it cannot find the directories which is because i removed them manually , how can i fix this problem ? | 02:15 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, apt-get install --no-install-recommends xinit xserver-xorg-video-vesa xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xfonts-base xterm | 02:15 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | thank u cod brainz this should be enough information 2 fix it and i am seeing multiple C-Media USB Headphone Set | 02:15 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, that's a basic X install, but you'd prolly be better off using your real drivers | 02:16 |
| T1750 | SaEeDIRHA: tell apt to reinstall itself? :) make the dirs? | 02:16 |
| Loshki | amokpaule: well, it seems logical from the error message: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:56639.". I can't think why it would choose such an address unless it was configured somewhere... | 02:16 |
| SaEeDIRHA | T1750: how can i tell apt-get to reinstall itself ? is there anyway to clean its catch ? | 02:16 |
| T1750 | apt-get clean | 02:16 |
| Arthur___ | i have older computers want ubuntu on them and dont want to put any xtra load on the slow cpu's 1000mhz 700 and a 600... | 02:17 |
| SaEeDIRHA | i have upgraded the system and since then i am encountering problem | 02:17 |
| ppires | hi there. does anyone here has experience building packages using boost.build? | 02:17 |
| amokpaule | Loshki, ok can you tell me for what i have to look now? | 02:17 |
| T1750 | SaEeDIRHA: tell me what you did, write it in a big paste bin, i will do it too, then repair it and pastebin it back | 02:17 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | THANK U VERY MUCH CODEBRAINZ i got full sound and in line mic | 02:17 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, install a Command line from the alternate CD and then run that apt-get command i gave, i can assure you it will run fine. | 02:17 |
| T1750 | but you only have 15 minutes or so :) | 02:17 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, np. glad you got it working | 02:17 |
| aaaoooaaa | hi guys, anybody know how to extract a .rar file? | 02:17 |
| T1750 | SaEeDIRHA: like, try and pastebin the commands, if you cant just describe | 02:18 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, i'd also recommend a nice lightweight window manager and panel | 02:18 |
| SaEeDIRHA | ok | 02:18 |
| aaaoooaaa | im on ubuntu karmic | 02:18 |
| SaEeDIRHA | w8 | 02:18 |

| ubottu | aaaoooaaa: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 02:18 |
| Arthur___ | yea i installed the base system and used xorg i think vesa will be less resource hog? is that right??? | 02:18 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, doubt it. probably get better performance with the proper driver | 02:18 |
| SaEeDIRHA | T1750: http://pastebin.com/DJHY4xap | 02:19 |
| Arthur___ | think xorg will work better? | 02:19 |
| T1750 | someone should e-mail that rar guy that nobody except pirates uses rar anyway so he might as well make it OS | 02:19 |
| T1750 | nobody's gunna buy it they're pirates | 02:19 |
| codebrainz | Arthur___, xorg is sorta your only choice if you want anything resembling a regular desktop environment | 02:19 |
| Hdale85 | I'm trying to chroot into my main root directory from the live CD so I can use apt-get to fix some issues that made my network not work anymore, but my sources was set to just cd so it's not using the net | 02:19 |

| codebrainz | judget, you mean how they're on the left? | 02:20 |

| judget | is there a property for the notification area that I may have misset? | 02:20 |

| judget | I can alt+tab to get minimized stuff back | 02:21 |
| codebrainz | judget, do you have an applet in your panel for this (i forget the name in gnome) | 02:22 |

| zifnab | i can't find sun-java6-jdk in lucid | 02:22 |
| T1750 | thats ok then those files are all cruff so you can go crazy | 02:22 |
| codebrainz | judget, it's called "task list" in xfce | 02:22 |
| T1750 | use dpkg to force remove the package | 02:22 |

| tripelb | hi, I used to have javascript and adobe. but what's up now? 9.10 chrome.java allowed. should I do the adobe version again? I sort of remember that some version of flash is Good and some version is Bad. lol-good-bad. | 02:23 |
| tripelb | To view this movie you need the Adobe Flash Player plugin. You also need JavaScript enabled in your browser. | 02:24 |
| T1750 | SaEeDIRHA: i;m not leet enuf to work it out cuz i don't use deb as my main package system mostly i suggest you read man pages but uust use dpkg tools not apt and --force things | 02:24 |
| T1750 | if you give me an sssh login i will do it | 02:24 |

| zifnab | Loshki, thanks i couldn't find that for some reason | 02:24 |
| h00k | T1750: Please do not suggest that. | 02:24 |
| judget | so i should add a task list item to the panmel? | 02:25 |
| T1750 | h00k: what the let me ssh thing? | 02:25 |
| codebrainz | judget, yeah, i think the default in gnome is in the bottom panel | 02:25 |
| tommyoblood | hey, I am having a problem after I updated my Ubuntu to 10.04. I can't load Ubuntu without my 9.04 cd in. I get this error: Non-system disk or disk error. replace and strike any key.

| Loshki | SaEeDIRHA: do I need to warn you not to let strange men into your system via ssh? | 02:25 |
| judget | ah it is called window list in gnome | 02:25 |
| T1750 | h00k: there's no reason he can't force remove all those old kernels they're not needed | 02:25 |
| Cinnamon | hello | 02:25 |
| T1750 | so i guess you must mean that | 02:25 |
| judget | codebrain in ubuntu studio you only have one task panel | 02:26 |
| h00k | T1750: just the 'allow me into your box' type behavior, please don't do that | 02:26 |

| judget | codebrain, i had thought it was the notification item but apparently iin gnome it is called a window list | 02:27 |
| codebrainz | judget, yea that's the ticket | 02:28 |
| tommyoblood | codebrainz, what is the commands for that in the terminal? | 02:28 |

| jon1 | ok, fixed my raid issues. forget trying to figure out what ubuntu did wrong. downloaded newest www.supergrubdisk.org, fixed it llike a charm. funny how a 2 mg cd can fix what ubiuntu cant get right in the first place | 02:36 |
| codebrainz | Loshki, not necessarily, i think it's the order they're detected/plugged, and since it's USB device ... | 02:36 |
| Loshki | codebrainz: yeah, makes sense, thanks... | 02:37 |
| * T1750 installed the ubuntu grub2 loader onto his suse lol | 02:37 | |
| T1750 | it's much better | 02:37 |
| T1750 | i can boot directly into lvm | 02:37 |

| belal1 | yep | 02:39 |
| jon1 | t1750, can you boot? | 02:39 |
| codebrainz | belal1, re-plugin the device and then do dmesg | tail -n 10 | 02:39 |
| T1750 | jon1: sure | 02:39 |
| codebrainz | belal1, then pastebin what it shows | 02:39 |
| jon1 | what was wrong with your raid? | 02:39 |
| T1750 | it even lets me reference my lvms like (lg0-lv0) instead of (hd0) | 02:40 |
| codebrainz | belal1, make it tail -n 20 (for more lines) | 02:40 |

| * T1750 did however boot back into his machine before deciding it was too much of a mess to fix. the opensuse autofix decided to reinstall *everything* for some unknown reason (the system worked fine) and then said it couldn't install a boot loader, so i installed ubuntus which worked like a charm :D | 02:42 | |
| codebrainz | belal1, do dmesg | tail -n 20 then go to pastebin.com or somewhere and post the output for me | 02:42 |

| Pelo | Beyondinferno, do you get an error msg ? | 02:42 |
| codebrainz | belal1, can you unplug, re-plug the device and then wait some seconds and try again (with the tail -n 20) part so i can see more lines | 02:43 |
| * T1750 didn't let autofix from opensuse keep reinstalling a whole working system so just killed it and archived his home dir | 02:43 | |
| Beyondinferno | I wasn't home when it happend but i'm getting lockups and it show a broken package in synaptic | 02:43 |

| Hdale85 | I've got internet up and working on the live cd but when I chroot in I ccan't use it | 03:31 |
| Callum__ | codebrainz: I COULD write to them about how much of a hassle SLI is at getting to work though | 03:32 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, looks like a package bug maybe. try downloading the .deb for libdirectfb-extra and installing it | 03:32 |
| kraxbox | hola q tal buenas noches | 03:32 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 i'm getting this when trying -f install -http://paste.ubuntu.com/446415/ | 03:32 |
| h00k | !es | kraxbox | 03:32 |
| ubottu | kraxbox: 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. | 03:32 |
| codebrainz | Callum__, if it wasn't proprietary, we would support they old hardware for them, for free :) | 03:32 |
| Callum__ | lol yeah | 03:32 |
| Appl6 | Beyondinferno: It looks like you're trying to install libdirectfb-extra, not -dev. Is that true? | 03:32 |
| chuy_max | chris411nz, I've used it before, but I don't remember if I can easily add pages to a document, instead of scanning-seeing the image-saving, new scan-> see image->save image, and so on | 03:32 |
| goodtime_ | heres what i wonder and think about | 03:32 |
| chuy_max | I would like this to be a very fast process | 03:32 |
| FlameTai1 | Guys I'm having some troubles, I'm trying to bring krandrtray up | 03:33 |
| FlameTai1 | It acts like it's going to load and then disappears? | 03:33 |
| othniel | yeah i have been trying to chat on gochatgo.com but i cant seem to give priviliges to my cam i cant press accept or deny it just is unclickable any suggestions | 03:33 |
| othniel | ? | 03:33 |
| kraxbox | ok grax no me di cuenta del canal saludos | 03:33 |
| goodtime_ | when does linux just come out with the ultimate os | 03:33 |
| h00k | !ot | goodtime_ | 03:33 |
| ubottu | goodtime_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:33 |
| Callum__ | anyway, loving Ubuntu 10.04 LTS so far | 03:33 |
| Gryllida | help! | 03:33 |
| goodtime_ | my ram keeps topin out | 03:34 |
| codebrainz | goodtime_, topping out? | 03:34 |
| goodtime_ | yeah | 03:34 |
| Beyondinferno | i'm trying -dev but it keeps showing up with -extra | 03:34 |
| goodtime_ | peakin out | 03:34 |
| h00k | !crosspost | goodtime_ | 03:34 |
| ubottu | goodtime_: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support. | 03:34 |
| sebsebseb | !ask | Gryllida | 03:34 |
| ubottu | Gryllida: 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. :-) | 03:34 |
| goodtime_ | ok | 03:34 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 i'm trying -dev but it keeps showing up with -extra | 03:34 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb, Please say how can I restart software center without rebooting the whole os. now I hit 'install' button and it does not prompt for root password though it did about an hour ago | 03:34 |
| codebrainz | goodtime_, are you noticing poor performance? | 03:34 |
| goodtime_ | man its a busy little place here | 03:35 |
| pcfreak30 | Could sopmeone please help me configure my mic. its a standard jack mic in the bacxk of the towser. using audacity, i cant even record. it does pick up though in the sound settings, but i still cant hear what i say... | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: close the program and re open? | 03:35 |
| anthony | hi guys i think now i know why ubuntu 10.04 and other distro are not working on my computer i think it is because of the kernel the new version of the kernel because all the distro who still don't use the new version i can use them.. hope the linux kernel will be fix in the new vertion so that i can use the ubuntu 10.10 | 03:35 |
| goodtime_ | no im runnin good for now were i used to just freeze | 03:35 |
| h00k | anthony: what exactly is 'not working' ? | 03:35 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: doesn't solve the issue, I already tried | 03:35 |
| goodtime_ | oh a bot is here | 03:36 |
| goodtime_ | cool | 03:36 |
| anthony | it does not boot | 03:36 |
| codebrainz | goodtime_, the kernel will use all of your ram as much as it can in the best way possible. if you're not using the ram, he will | 03:36 |
| codebrainz | goodtime_, mostly for cache and junk | 03:36 |
| anthony | the live cd is not working on my computer | 03:36 |
| goodtime_ | oic ok | 03:36 |
| goodtime_ | i need more ram | 03:36 |
| goodtime_ | lol | 03:36 |
| h00k | goodtime_: This page has some good information on how Linux uses ram: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 03:36 |
| goodtime_ | sweet | 03:37 |
| codebrainz | hahaha | 03:37 |
| Appl6 | Beyondinferno: Pastebin 20 lines or so after the "Package: libdirectfb-extra" line in /var/lib/dpkg/status. Also, run sudo dpkg -C and pastebin the results (if any). | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok lets make sure it closes properly, applications > assessoreis > terminal type in xkill hit enter and then click on software centre | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: then open again and try and use it | 03:37 |
| codebrainz | h00k, awesome that someone made a site for that! | 03:37 |
| celeritas | anthony, have you tried noacpi? | 03:37 |
| anthony | what is noacpi | 03:37 |
| h00k | codebrainz: it is nice :) | 03:37 |
| goodtime_ | hahaha 31 by prograhms and 55 by cache | 03:38 |
| goodtime_ | % | 03:38 |
| anthony | how can i use it | 03:38 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 24703 package 'libdirectfb-extra': | 03:38 |
| Beyondinferno | missing version | 03:38 |
| T1750 | anthony: don't use some hardware protocol thing that some systems have problem with | 03:38 |
| celeritas | when you are booting ubuntu, try adding that to the grub command line. might help you boot up | 03:38 |
| T1750 | it's to do with things like the power button imho | 03:38 |
| Nautilus | whats the right way to upgrade FF in 8.04 LTS? Using Synaptic? | 03:38 |
| T1750 | s/imho/iirc/ | 03:38 |
| ronx | any ubuntu network gurus have a second to help me figure out why i can't connect to my home network after downgrading from lucid to karmic? | 03:39 |
| anthony | what can i do i us a laptop | 03:39 |
| celeritas | certain kernels have conflicts with certain laptops | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | Nautilus: nope | 03:39 |
| xangua | Nautilus: just wait, canonocial is preparing a major upgrade for the very first time for the next version of firefox incluiing hardy, intrepid, jaunty and finally lucid | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | xangua: you sure about that? | 03:39 |
| Appl6 | Beyondinferno: What about the lines from /var/lib/dpkg/status? | 03:39 |
| sebsebseb | xangua: got a link or something to confirm? | 03:39 |
| anthony | <celeritas> what is noacpi | 03:39 |
| Nautilus | xangua: ahhh. Really I just want to turn on firebug, but it mentioned there is a new firefox (I have 3.0). Can I just turn firebug on in Synaptic? | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | Nautilus: I don't think what xangua is saying is true, espesailly since intrepid is end of life now | 03:40 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 -http://paste.ubuntu.com/446419/ | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | Nautilus: there will be a ppa for a later Firefox version for 8.04 I expect | 03:40 |
| mechdave | imthenachoman, Have a look here for the list of files installed --> http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/python-django/filelist | 03:40 |
| crdlb | sebsebseb: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2010-June/000719.html | 03:40 |
| sebsebseb | crdlb: oh | 03:41 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, if you stop putting a dash infront of that href, we can just click on it! | 03:41 |
| celeritas | anthony: noacpi keeps the kernel from using internal features of the mb that handle the power button, fans etc. the system will still function but the os will have no control over these features. hence, your mb will handle most of those features. you can use noacpi to boot the distro and then modify the installation until you get a working system | 03:41 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz, it would let me post links.... | 03:41 |
| diane | hi | 03:41 |
| Beyondinferno | sorry | 03:41 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, what package are you trying to install that needs directfb? | 03:41 |
| Appl6 | Beyondinferno: That's extremely weird. If you'll notice, it has "Vers)on" instead of "Version". Try fixing that with an editor. | 03:41 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz would *not let me | 03:41 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: just 'xkill'? without parameters? | 03:41 |
| chalk | how can i fix bad sectors in my harddrive? | 03:42 |
| imthenachoman | mechdave: ty sir | 03:42 |
| codebrainz | Appl6, good eye | 03:42 |
| T1750 | chalk: you can't! | 03:42 |
| datakid | ok, I deleted a user and re added the same user. Now I have a bunch of files owned by "109" instead of "joeblogs" | 03:42 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 lol thats great.... | 03:42 |
| chalk | oh my, now i need to buy a harddrive | 03:42 |
| T1750 | chalk: they're bad, but you can fsck -y /device to make them not be used anymore | 03:42 |
| datakid | how do I chown them all>? How do I find htem all? | 03:42 |
| mechdave | imthenachoman, No worries :) http://packages.ubuntu.com is always a good resource to use for this kinda thing :) | 03:42 |
| h00k | !badblocks | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | Nautilus: the link crdlb gave me does not say for Intrepid by the way | 03:42 |
| T1750 | chalk: i've had several die on me this week including one in a raid *0* array | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | chalk: yes just xkill | 03:42 |
| xangua | http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/firefox-364-to-be-pushed-to-ubuntu.html sebsebseb Nautilus well not intrepid at least ; you can also try the firefox stable PPA https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable | 03:42 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: yes just xkill | 03:43 |
| h00k | chalk: http://linux.die.net/man/8/badblocks | 03:43 |
| crdlb | sebsebseb: good thing he's using 8.04 then :) | 03:43 |
| h00k | T1750: also, ^ | 03:43 |
| diane | just want to say thx to the guy who helped here me out with ubuntu installing grub on my flash drive rather than the HD. yes its a setting in install buried away where i would never have found it so.... next time you're in vancouver i owe you a beer :) | 03:43 |
| Appl6 | datakid: "man find", see the section on -uid | 03:43 |
| SoftwareExplorer | datakid: I think you need to also delete the group for the old user and then add the new user and make sure it has the right group number | 03:43 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 and codebrainz thanks a ton! | 03:43 |
| Nautilus | thanks guys | 03:43 |
| T1750 | you can keep using your hd with your badblocks list if you like, but if you are geting bad blocks maybe its time the hd went on ebay | 03:43 |
| chalk | thanks T1750 | 03:43 |
| chalk | thanks h00k | 03:43 |
| datakid | SoftwareExplorer, old group no longer in /etc/group so I think I'm safe | 03:44 |
| codebrainz | T1750, jerk ... hahaha | 03:44 |
| datakid | Appl6, cheers, I'll look into it | 03:44 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: done, it still won't work | 03:44 |
| codebrainz | T1750, so you're the guy that sold me that... | 03:44 |
| hiexpo | lol | 03:44 |
| con-man | whats the debian for mythtv media server | 03:44 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: maybe an non-window process of it stuck in the processes, idk | 03:44 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: there are other ways to install software as well :) however Software Centre should work | 03:44 |
| con-man | cant find it on the repositories | 03:44 |
| anthony | celeritas: yes i think i already try it but when i boot up the live cd then install ubuntu 10.04 it will not boot i don't know how to modify it when installing can you help me i really what to use ubuntu 10.04 | 03:44 |
| Jordan_U | diane: That was Pelo (who quit a while ago) | 03:44 |
| SoftwareExplorer | datakid: So, now you need to make sure that the new user has the same group number (Which is 109) as the files. | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: is this the first time it happended or? | 03:45 |
| h00k | con-man: aptitude search mythtv | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you made it sound liek before a re boot fixes it, right, but then you get it again? | 03:45 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: Xkill asked me to point to it by mouse, while if it didn't close properly first time, it could have left an invisible process, which I'm unable to xkill | 03:45 |
| celeritas | anthony, did ubuntu install grub correctly? | 03:45 |
| SpaceDude | hello | 03:45 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: "you made it sound liek before a re boot fixes it, right, but then you get it again?" true | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: yes with xkill you click on the app you want to close | 03:45 |
| anthony | yes it is | 03:45 |
| T1750 | chalk: if i were you, and h00k may be much smarter than me, but if your data is important to you and your hd is developing bad blocks (it does this over time naturally there are some reserved in manufacture to silently replace the bad ones) well if they have all run out and now you are still losing blocks .... well me i wouldn't use that HD anymore | 03:46 |
| diane | jordan u....yeah right...well in the interest of full disclosure i'm setting this computer up for my friend diane... IRL i'm guy and not to attractive but say thanks for me next time you see him. | 03:46 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | Hello every 1 i am having problems with audio for flash videos and online music i cant hear the audio but the flash playes | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok what about installing software from Synaptic that works or? | 03:46 |
| SoftwareExplorer | datakid: It's probably a good idea to have the new user have the same user number and group number. | 03:46 |
| anthony | celeritas: yes it install correctly but it does not boot | 03:46 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: It works after a reboot, then something (?) happens, and it stops working, this happened two times already | 03:46 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: I'm not in sudoers group, can't launch synaptic | 03:46 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, find and delete all instances of libflashplayer.so on your system and reinstall the newest flash player for linux | 03:46 |
| datakid | SoftwareExplorer, is there anyway to force this? | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: oh | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ah ha | 03:47 |
| h00k | chalk: I would also be wary if you're getting a high number of them, also try an fsck on the drive | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: that could be why software centre doesn't seem to work either | 03:47 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: what should I do? | 03:47 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | kk | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you will need sudo access or you can't install software | 03:47 |
| celeritas | anthony, did you try editing the grub command of the installed ubuntu at boot time. after selecting the version of ubuntu you want to boot, press e to edit the command. then add the noacpi option to the kernel line | 03:47 |
| h00k | T1750: yeah, that seems about right | 03:47 |
| Jordan_U | anthony: You can hold shift during boot to add the noacpi kernel parameter there, then once booted make it permanent with "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" (edit GRUB_LINUX_CMDLINE in the window that comes up) then "sudo update-grub" | 03:47 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: But it worked after a reboot fine, asked for password and I installed abiword, so it does after every reboot | 03:48 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | codebrainz can i use firefox to uninstall addons | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: lets see if you can install something from the terminal, either think of something to install yourself, or you could use abiword for example sudo apt-get install abiword | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: oh | 03:48 |
| T1750 | h00k: suppose if you had a use for a volatile cache it would be ok | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: already done Abiword which I was using as an example, well gnumeric goes nicely with Abiwrod | 03:48 |
| diane | anyway i'm out of here but.... to all you ubuntistas thanks a lot... you're changing the world. :) | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: spreadsheet app | 03:48 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | o wait nvm | 03:48 |
| chalk | h00k & T1750 http://paste.ubuntu.com/446421/ | 03:48 |
| T1750 | bet google uses em | 03:48 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, no, go and find the libflashplayer.so file (like uder ~/.mozilla and /usr/lib/mozilla and simiar) | 03:48 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | k | 03:48 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, or use the GUI to search for that filename | 03:49 |
| SoftwareExplorer | datakid: If you go to System > Administration > Users that's where you change most of this. The problem is that two groups or user's can't have the same number, so you just have to change the numbers on the group that has the number you want and then assign that number to the correct group | 03:49 |
| anthony | ok i will try i hope it will work this time... | 03:49 |
| adum | can anyone recommend a high quality motherboard manufacturer that is consistantly compatible/works well in ubuntu? | 03:49 |
| h00k | chalk: for /device, you're going to replace that with your harddrive, for instance: /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 | 03:49 |
| Beyondinferno | Appl6 and codebrainz i'm still getting errors.... | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok so we know software centre won't work now | 03:49 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | no files found | 03:49 |
| con-man | Seriously. I have 8 cores running at 3.85 GHz each, 6 gigs of 1600 MHz DDR3 Ram, and two solid state drives striped in a raid 0 array. My whole computer can boot in under 20 seconds; and yet I STILL CANT STREAM VIDEO. Lags every 2 seconds.! | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: give the termianl a try to install an app, lets find out if that works | 03:49 |
| xangua | adum: and that's why #ubuntu-offtopic exist ;) | 03:50 |
| hufx | con-man: try vlc | 03:50 |
| Beyondinferno | con-man streaming via web or lan | 03:50 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, you searched your system for libflashplayer.so and it says no file found? | 03:50 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | yes sir | 03:50 |
| datakid | SoftwareExplorer, I"m on cli only slicehost :) | 03:50 |
| * T1750 has SERIOUSLY screwed up some HD's and raid configs before so may be of help if you gety stuck but will be going to bed in about 10 minutes and h00k seems to know his thing | 03:50 | |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, then you don't have flash installed | 03:50 |
| celeritas | con-man, have you checked you net drivers? | 03:50 |
| h00k | T1750: meh, kinda/sorta :) | 03:50 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | but then how can i play videos on youtube with out sound | 03:50 |
| * T1750 also uses an openeed quantum fireball with the platters bent upward into bowls as an ashtray | 03:51 | |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz you see my message? | 03:51 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, i had success downloading the one from adobe, the tarball and just placing the libflashplayer.so in the firefox plgin dir | 03:51 |

| con-man | celeritas, hufx, Beyondinferno: VLC can stream to a PS3? It's a wired not wireless, private network and what do you mean "checked my net drivers" | 03:52 |

| datakid | cheers | 03:53 |
| h00k | chalk: Booting from the CDROM/USB will be safe from your disk because it's not using your HDD | 03:53 |

| Beyondinferno | codebrainz i just had a couple lockups and it won't let me update anything | 03:54 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok now do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok thats the problem | 03:54 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: thinks your not in that group | 03:54 |

| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, maybe try apt-get remove --purge directfb && apt-get autoremove --purge (which will remove directfb completely) | 03:54 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz xbmc is broken among other things (chromium, firefox) | 03:55 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, ah, xbmc prolly uses directfb | 03:55 |
| mechdave | Is supertux a kids game? | 03:55 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz it showed like 31 dependencies | 03:55 |
| h00k | chalk: it shouldn't, no | 03:55 |
| sebsebseb | !info supertux | 03:55 |
| ubottu | supertux (source: supertux): Classic 2D jump 'n run sidescroller with Tux. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.3-2 (lucid), package size 854 kB, installed size 2436 kB | 03:55 |
| chalk | h00k, ok then | 03:55 |
| h00k | chalk: but I'd recommend that | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: see above at bot | 03:56 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, you had orphaned packages in your pastebin, it's wanting to pull those and anything else that depends on directfb | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: give it a try even, nice app | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: there are quite a few apps in the repo with Tux though, that are really for kids | 03:56 |
| anthony | Jordan_U: thank man for giving me hope. i just get some home because of it thx... | 03:56 |
| con-man | any ideas anyone? | 03:56 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: they are good also | 03:56 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz i'm just concerned about all my settings for xbmc and such... | 03:56 |
| mechdave | sebsebseb, thanks, got it running, very neat... but rather hard in the higher levels :) | 03:56 |
| anthony | thx to ubuntu community your the best guys.... | 03:57 |
| mechdave | sebsebseb, Thanks shall have a look | 03:57 |
| celeritas | con-man, maybe you have the wrong drivers for your nic | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | anthony: You're welcome. | 03:57 |
| anthony | thx | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: whilst on about Tux apps though, Tuxpaint is rather nice :) | 03:57 |
| anthony | bye i need to format my computer bye | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | mechdave: an theres supertux kart or wahtever raceing game and so on | 03:57 |
| Chriz | how come websites render different on localhost compared to uploading it to a domain? | 03:57 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, use your own discretion. it sounds like a bug in that one directfb-extra package though | 03:57 |
| nits | i need some help with quodlibet i get this error wen i run the quodlibet through the terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/446423/ | 03:58 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz but i'm in no position to make a choice like this! lol | 03:58 |
| codebrainz | nits, it looks like you're probably missing a library that supports the type of thing you're trying to open | 03:58 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: still about? | 03:58 |
| mechdave | my goodness, lots of tux games on packages.ubuntu.com, I'm in heaven :) | 03:58 |
| con-man | celeritas, how would one check this? | 03:58 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: two, me (desktop user) and another one (administrator), but me was able to use software center fine until it broke suddenly, then I rebooted, then it broke again after some time | 03:58 |
| nits | it opened just fine till yesterday codebrainz | 03:58 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: why two accounts? | 03:59 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: when it worked, it prompted for password | 03:59 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, download the .deb for the package that's flaking out from the ubuntu site and see if it installs | 03:59 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, better yet, find a newer version | 03:59 |
| datakid | Hah! SoftwareExplorer http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/find-files-that-do-not-have-any-owners-or-do-not-belong-to-any-user-under-linuxunix/ | 03:59 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: because I don't think it ok to go to www with administrator account, it it? | 03:59 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Chriz: If they have a php script or something like that in them, then it wouldn't execute if you are having your browser read it straight off the hardrive. | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: yeah I thought you done like WIndows | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: well this is not Windows :) | 03:59 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: um, what is the proper way to do it? | 03:59 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: in Windows yes should only have an admin account, that is used when really need it, otherwise use a limited acocunt | 03:59 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: yes I've been using windows ffor 10 years, installed ubuntu just yesterday | 04:00 |
| SoftwareExplorer | datakid: Cool. So I'm assuming you got it fixed then? | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: with Ubuntu and other Linux distros, its fine to use a standard user account, which is what your administrater account is | 04:00 |
| Chriz | SoftwareExplorer, I mean the site actually renders differently (sizes/fonts/etc are messed up) I have a lamp setup under ubuntu | 04:00 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: what is the proper way to do it? make me administrator and go to www? | 04:00 |
| datakid | SoftwareExplorer, well, I've found how to fix it :) Now for the fixin' | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: well your administraoter account is the one you should be using really, since sudo | 04:01 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: sudo makes you become admin, but only for the task you are doing | 04:01 |
| jcp | I cannot for the life of me get my webcam to work on ubuntu 10.04. It hasn't worked on any previous versions, either. It's a webcam built in to my sony vaio vgn-fz298ce. | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: or root as it would be called more properly when talking LInux distros | 04:01 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: ok thank you | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you can change the | 04:01 |
| jcp | Anyone have any suggestions? | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: permissions for what the desktop user account can do, you can set it up so it can sudo as well | 04:02 |
| jcp | (and yes, I have tried google, and it didn't help) | 04:02 |
| celeritas | con-man, lspci should give you the recognized name of your nic, which should match the actual nic version. if you see a major difference in the driver being used, see if you can find the correct drivers for the nic. then just compile and install | 04:02 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz how do i force install a package? | 04:02 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins | 04:02 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Chriz: Does the browser show the same source code for the pages from the different places? | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: that can be done using commands, or easilly graphicalley | 04:03 |
| codebrainz | Beyondinferno, the deb? there should be a gui or dpkg -i the_package | 04:03 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: so graphically you can give it the same permissions as what the administrator account has, then you can sudo and such with that account | 04:04 |
| codebrainz | nits, this issue has been resolved in the program http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/source/detail?spec=svn418e5925d54028bd3deaf691b90d6b86a947f18a&r=d2622cab934c9501857f1777a4cc93c12eba12e0 | 04:04 |
| Chriz | SoftwareExplorer, all except for the links that are returned | 04:04 |
| Beyondinferno | codebrainz i just launched the deb and it's giving dependency errors too | 04:04 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: but I indicated just 1 password during the install | 04:04 |
| vuqnguyen | jnbj | 04:04 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: looks like it's both root and 1sr-user-on-the-os password | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: right, but you made a second account after install? | 04:04 |
| codebrainz | nits, fix in this: http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/issues/detail?id=461 | 04:05 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: can these be different | 04:05 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: yes I made a second account too | 04:05 |
| === roved2101_ is now known as roved2101 | ||
| vuqnguyen | hello | 04:05 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Chriz: In that case, I not sure why it's different. | 04:05 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: changing passwords for accounts is easy as well | 04:05 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: what should I do - relogin and work from under adminstrator (the 1st-that-I made during the install) or just change this account type to admin? | 04:05 |
| Chriz | SoftwareExplorer, is it possible to remerge my entire system? | 04:06 |
| nits | codebrainz : thanks man was just a corrupted config file coz of a powercut i had yesterday thune3 helped me figure it out thanks man :) | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: did you use the graphical users and groups program when you made your second user? | 04:06 |
| Gryllida | yes | 04:06 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | ok now i got the .so file where do i place the file in extensions , plugins or search plugins | 04:06 |
| codebrainz | nits, no worries | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok well that is how you change the permissions for your desktop user graphicalley | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: however it should have the same rights as what your admin account currently has | 04:06 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: so I would end up in administrator and me users, both of type 'admin'? | 04:06 |
| === bastidrazor is now known as bastid_raZor | ||
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: and to see that I guess you would have to log in to the account | 04:06 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: sure I agree with the latter line | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you would turn the desktop user account into one that can also use sudo and such | 04:07 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: what would the 1st account be for then? | 04:07 |
| SoftwareExplorer | Chriz: I don't know. | 04:07 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: or you could just use that account all the time | 04:07 |
| Datz | hi, does anyone know the plugin that ubottu uses to address nicks with factoids? | 04:07 |
| Datz | !ubottu | Datz | 04:08 |
| ubottu | Datz, please see my private message | 04:08 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you don't need two accounts, at the moment if ever depending on what your going to be doing, this isn't Windows | 04:08 |
| Datz | something like that... | 04:08 |
| Datz | !docs | Datz | 04:08 |
| ubottu | Datz, please see my private message | 04:08 |
| T1750 | i guess that exception really did matter cause commenting it out broke the ISO :) | 04:08 |
| T1750 | a multiple connection download program that won't multiple connect is stupid though. | 04:09 |
| * T1750 now here for 20 more minutes | 04:09 | |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: most Ubuntu users, use the account that is set up after install | 04:09 |
| * T1750 snapshotted the iso file and copied the aria metadata b4 experiment should still be able to finish with success | 04:10 | |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: and then only create other accounts on the computer, for other computer users | 04:10 |
| ronx | question guys.... i'm downgrading from lucid to karmic, and the most recent kernel didn't seem to want to run on reinstalled karmic... so i changed to GRUB_DEFAULT=4 (from 0) and things are working now... | 04:10 |
| defendguin | how do you fix it so that you never had to put in your keyring password for your wireless to connect? | 04:10 |
| T1750 | sebsebseb: having an account to build packages is a good idea | 04:10 |
| jrib | ronx: how are you downgrading exactly? | 04:11 |
| T1750 | more so with rpm | 04:11 |
| ronx | however, when i apt-get upgrade, it doesn't seem to want to upgrade linux-headers-generic | 04:11 |
| T1750 | but even with deb | 04:11 |
| h00k | defendguin: do you have automatic login enabled? | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | T1750: ok maybe so, but most users of Ubuntu won't be doing that | 04:11 |
| ronx | jrib: i used 9.10 install disk | 04:11 |
| defendguin | h00k yeah | 04:11 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: it _was_ setup but I seem to have reset it, by clicking «set it to administrator type» when making a new one, can I reset its privileges to what is the default in some way? | 04:11 |
| ronx | and some instructions i found on a blog somewhere | 04:11 |
| jrib | ronx: so you are doing a fresh install then? | 04:11 |
| ronx | not quite... i used custom partitions | 04:11 |
| ronx | and didn't change anything | 04:11 |
| jrib | ronx: what partitions? | 04:11 |
| h00k | defendguin: that's why, and as far as I know, you'd have to set manual login (enter a password to login) to get around that | 04:11 |
| T1750 | sebsebseb: you're right, they'd be using another distro j/k | 04:11 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: you can give the desktop account the default prividlges graphically, what admin account currently has, thats quite easy to do graphically | 04:12 |
| ronx | http://www.khattam.info/2010/03/15/howto-downgrading-from-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx-to-9-10-karmic-koala/ | 04:12 |
| ronx | that's what i used | 04:12 |
| defendguin | h00k that's not good for a computer I am using as a server | 04:12 |
| jrib | ronx: you understand downgrading is not supported? | 04:12 |
| ronx | my previous setup was really simple... everything on / and then swap | 04:12 |
| ronx | sure | 04:12 |
| h00k | defendguin: er, why not? | 04:12 |
| defendguin | i don't wanna have to turn it's monitor on every time | 04:12 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: however you will need to be in the admin account, to change the desktop account privildges | 04:12 |
| theadmin | ronx, we don't support downgrading so if it broke something do not complain | 04:12 |
| ronx | looking for "unofficial" support hehe | 04:12 |
| ronx | not complaining at all | 04:12 |
| ronx | and nothing is really broken | 04:13 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: But after the install, I remember the 1st-account having some level of privileges different from 'administrator', it was called 'customized', how do I get what it was? | 04:13 |
| Zeu5 | hi all i have googled around for some time. but i cannot seem to find an answer. i have exported a filezilla settings into a .xml file from my windows. how do i import that into my filezilla in ubuntu? i am running filezilla client | 04:13 |
| ronx | just looking for the best way to update kernel | 04:13 |
| theadmin | ronx: What is the real problem you have? (I just joined) | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: customized? | 04:13 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: yes | 04:13 |
| Aeroraptor | So I'm about to install ubuntu on my laptop again. I have 4GB RAM and am wondering if I should go with the 64bit version instead of the 32 to be able to access the extra ~700MB of RAM. I won't be doint anything that requires that much RAM but being able to access it could be nice. Thoughts? | 04:13 |
| ronx | when i apt-get upgrade, it says my linux-headers-generic are kept back | 04:13 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: the word 'administrator' was surely not there for 1st account, it was me who set iut | 04:13 |
| ronx | because i had to modify my grub config to point to an older kernel | 04:13 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: oh I think I know what you mean, using another distro at the moment, but i'll load up an Ubuntu virtual machine, so I can explain what I mean properly and what not | 04:13 |
| Gryllida | it | 04:13 |
| jrib | ronx: update-manager updates the kernel automatically. If you want to use apt-get, then you need to use "apt-get dist-upgrade" | 04:13 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: ok | 04:14 |
| con-man | celeritas, here is the pastebin of lspci: http://pastebin.ca/1878825 | 04:14 |
| ronx | k so dist-upgrade won't try to take me to lucid | 04:14 |
| jrib | ronx: no, take a look at « man apt-get » | 04:14 |
| ronx | word | 04:14 |
| ronx | er, roger | 04:14 |
| theadmin | ronx: I think that you should remove the newer kernels yourself. | 04:14 |

| Aeroraptor | ok great. I'll keep on downloading the x64 version | 04:16 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: yes I'll relogin to change these things | 04:16 |

| theadmin | Chak82: What exactly freezes? ALSA? Pulse? GNOME? The entire system? | 04:22 |
| jrib | !ubottu > Datz | 04:22 |
| ubottu | Datz, please see my private message | 04:22 |
| Chak82 | all GNOME !!! | 04:22 |
| h00k | Datz: check #ubuntu-bots, also the wiki page reports it is Encyclopedia plugin http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | 04:22 |
| sebsebseb | Datz: thought the ops would know, and jrib is one of them, but h00k is also | 04:22 |
| Datz | ah, thanks guys | 04:23 |
| Kamilion | Having a bit of an issue installing lucid server 64 under vbox 3.2.4; debootstrap's freaking out -- my md5sums are correct, so I know I've got a good iso. The first install this afternoon managed to get past the base packages, this second try is bailing with debootstrap errors; I did grab the syslog. | 04:23 |
| celeritas | Chak82, run xmodmap -pk | grep -i audio and look for duplicate keycodes for XF86AudioRaise and Lower volume | 04:23 |
| con-man | celeritas, could you suggest alternate drivers | 04:23 |
| Chak82 | for around 10 / 20 seconds ALL FREEZE | 04:23 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | whats the command in console for the file roller | 04:23 |
| theadmin | Ubuntu_and_Coffe: file-roller, of course :P | 04:23 |

| Datz | jrib: great, thanks | 04:23 |

| RedWar | Hi Guys, ... need some help with xvidcap and getting audio set up using a usb mic. Ubuntu forums remain unclear. Can't record a thing, with either the mic plugged in USB or the mic plugged in the sound card | 04:24 |
| celeritas | Chak82, certain key mapping might be launching a certain application. however, when using the volume control, the key event is triggered multiple times, causing an accidental overflow | 04:24 |
| RedWar | But it works with skype | 04:24 |
| RedWar | Any ideas? | 04:24 |
| tripelb | jnb I apologize for not speaking clearly. Hulu tells me that the video is not available. And if this happens repeatedly I should clear my casche and restart the browser. So I did. -- I also tried firefox.I cleared it's cache too. I also tried Opera which I had never used. == I also tried other videos. == Have I been clear enough now? == I have 9.10 on a dell 4600 from 2004. | 04:25 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: i have the output, do you have the link to paste this in ubuntu sute? | 04:25 |
| Chak82 | site? | 04:25 |
| Exxon | hi guys:) | 04:25 |
| Kamilion | tripelb: I get the same thing *all the time* from hulu, using the site or hulu desktop, both on win and lin. Seems to be an issue with my ISP. | 04:25 |
| celeritas | Chak82, pastebin | 04:25 |
| con-man | no but really I need alternate drivers to try | 04:25 |
| tripelb | codebranz, j hulu.com shows videos, tv, movies. flash. like house, SNL... Great site. | 04:26 |
| centr0 | im trying to get ubuntu 10 working with dual monitors and the ati driver w/ compiz everytime i try it cant load compiz any ideas? | 04:26 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: GOT IT !!! | 04:26 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | still nothing codebrainz | 04:26 |
| tripelb | Kamilion, but but (heh) I was able to see an SNL earlier today. How strange/ My ISP is TimeWarner (southern california) | 04:26 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: http://paste.ubuntu.com/446432/ | 04:26 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | no audio | 04:26 |
| celeritas | con-man, before going to deep into the drivers, make sure that lspci -vv is reporting an ok status for your nic | 04:26 |
| codebrainz | tripelb, it doesn't work at all here in canada :) i guess we have to pirate our online tv | 04:27 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: i didnt mention it man, but this happens while rythmbox is playing ! | 04:27 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, ask the channel, i'm out of ideas | 04:27 |

| Kamilion | tripelb: I'm in the bay area, california, using comcast. I use hulu to watch the One Piece simulcasts from japan. I get those issues *constantly* -- have to try a couple times to watch a video but it will eventually work | 04:27 |

| T1750 | what does the dolphin "eject" button do to USB stick as I can no longer access the device block file if I click it | 04:28 |
| Kamilion | tripelb: Seems to have something to do with the advertisements getting blocked by an upstream server between you and hulu. | 04:28 |
| Guest3902 | Hey, can anyone help me restore my Grub for Ubuntu 10.04? I deleted a partition, then resized my linux partition to make it larger. Now it went from sda6 to sda5 and my grub can't find it. :/ | 04:28 |
| gryllida1 | hello? | 04:28 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: hi | 04:28 |
| codebrainz | T1750, it runs sync to flush the cache to disk and unmounts it | 04:28 |
| con-man | celeritas, http://pastebin.ca/1878830 | 04:28 |
| theadmin | Guest3902: Boot from a liveCD, chroot and run sudo update-grub | 04:28 |
| codebrainz | T1750, ie "safely remove" | 04:28 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I'm in the main account now | 04:29 |
| celeritas | Chak82: that might be it. unmap the volume keys from rhythmbox and let gnome take care of the volume | 04:29 |
| tripelb | codebrainz, offtopic PM | 04:29 |
| Kamilion | codebrainz: it does something more than that -- Safely remove somehow shuts off my Sandisk u3 sticks (the lights go out) | 04:29 |
| T1750 | codebrainz: I always wondered how come there's no race condition doing that | 04:29 |
| Guest3902 | I'm talking through the livecd right now. I'll work on Chrooting it. | 04:29 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: how can i do that? | 04:29 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: what should I do now? | 04:29 |
| T1750 | i suppose only if you're messing with the mounted disk using dd that could be | 04:29 |
| tripelb | kamilion thanks I'll try again. | 04:29 |
| * T1750 wonders why they cant access it then | 04:29 | |
| theadmin | Guest3902: Example, if the Linux partition is mounted to /mnt, then you run "sudo chroot /mnt" | 04:29 |
| Exxon | anyone ! how to enable ssl for IRC chat. | 04:29 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: delete the second user and work from this one? | 04:29 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: apparantly there is a way to run sudo in an account that doesn't have the privildges set up etc, or whatever. anyway do what I was going to say sure | 04:30 |
| Zeu5 | hi all i have googled around for some time. but i cannot seem to find an answer. i have exported a filezilla settings into a .xml file from my windows. how do i import that into my filezilla in ubuntu? i am running filezilla client | 04:30 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: you can give the second user the permissions of the account your in now | 04:30 |
| Kamilion | T1750: I think it sends some kind of power management command using hdparm | 04:30 |
| Guest3902 | Thank you admin, I'll post back on my progress in a minute. | 04:30 |
| Exxon | !ssl | 04:30 |
| AntraxCol | hello | 04:30 |
| lopeze | Hey guys quick question. I typically set my power settings to not idle out, however, with lucid it does it regardless of the settings in power management. How can I get it to not idle out every two minutes or so? | 04:30 |
| celeritas | con-man, your nic reports RTL8111/8168B PCI but the loaded driver is r8169 | 04:31 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: what? I don't think I really need 2 accounts ; and the second thing is that I would like to know what it was after the install (iirc it was not 'administrator' type then( | 04:31 |
| Kamilion | lopeze: the screensaver is different than the powersave screen blank -- check both. | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yes | 04:31 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: you will set up the second account like it should be, then you can get rid of the one your in now | 04:31 |
| codebrainz | T1750, sorry, was that for me up there ^^ ? | 04:31 |
| theadmin | lopeze: Screensaver? | 04:31 |
| celeritas | con-man, this looks pretty close to what you need http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/R8168 | 04:31 |
| con-man | celeritas, thx | 04:32 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: ok. how do I set up the second one? like making it be admin, or do you know the default setup? | 04:32 |
| lopeze | Checking right now, where is the setting itself? I've never had to change it before. | 04:32 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yes you will set it up with the default set up | 04:32 |
| lopeze | Nevermind, got it. | 04:32 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: how? | 04:32 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: so not as 'administrator', right? | 04:32 |
| lopeze | Thanks guys. | 04:32 |
| theadmin | How is modifying /etc/sudoers by hand dangerous? (it says to only modify it by visudo) | 04:33 |
| tripelb | Kamilion, thanks guy | 04:33 |
| Chak82 | how can i unmap the sound in rythmbox? | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: system > administration > users and groups | 04:33 |
| === r2d2 is now known as Guest29711 | ||
| celeritas | con-man, see if there is something like that targeted to ubuntu. modifying the kernel can screw you for hours later | 04:33 |
| AntraxCol | hi, am looking for info about backtrack i all ready download it, and install it. | 04:33 |
| Chak82 | it cause errors in entire gnome when im manipuling the volume | 04:33 |
| jrib | theadmin: well you run the risk of making a syntax error and then no longer having any sudo access. That's why you should always use visudo | 04:33 |
| acerimmer | !ot>antraxcol | 04:33 |
| ubottu | antraxcol, please see my private message | 04:33 |
| hufx | bump! | 04:33 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I opened it | 04:33 |
| StriKk_9 | Anyone had issues with 10.04 wireless drivers not installing | 04:34 |
| gryllida1 | !anyone | 04:34 |
| ubottu | 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? | 04:34 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: visudo uses a tempfile copy, checks it for sanity, and then atomically replaces the sudoers file if it's "okay" | 04:34 |
| gryllida1 | !details | 04:34 |
| ubottu | Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: hang on a bit since... | 04:34 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: ok | 04:34 |
| jrib | StriKk_9: no, no one (just ask *your* question with relevant details) | 04:34 |
| THEO | sup guys. im using a dell netbook and i'm pretty new to ubuntu. how can i make the ubuntu as fast as possible? thanks | 04:34 |
| Guest3902 | admin: it can't find a device for /. It asked if /dev is mounted. "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu | 04:34 |
| Guest3902 | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)." | 04:34 |
| theadmin | jrib: Wait, wait, what on earth... "root ALL=(ALL) ALL"... it means root priveleges may be taken away... from root? | 04:34 |
| tripelb | If TimeWarner is blocking hulu, would it help to go through a proxy? | 04:34 |
| acerimmer | THEO: disable desktop effects for one thing | 04:34 |
| gryllida1 | THEO: LOL, just get newest version (10.4), notthing more | 04:34 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: The nice thing is that visudo respects the EDITOR env var -- so if you've got it set to nano, it (somewhat unintuitively) opens nano to edit it, not actually vi. | 04:35 |
| jrib | theadmin: no, just sudo privileges | 04:35 |
| AntraxCol | ok , i see you in private | 04:35 |
| theadmin | jrib: root doesn't need sudo o_O | 04:35 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: SeLinux or other LSMs can make the root account basically powerless. | 04:35 |
| jrib | theadmin: I guess | 04:35 |
| T1750 | codebrainz: you sure it doesn't do something to stop me messing with it after unmounting | 04:35 |
| doormat81 | So, I remember MANY versions back, Ubuntu (or compiz) had issues with window decorations disappearing. It seems that STILL hasn't been patched. What's the workaround to get them back? | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: you see unlock if you click on the other account or something like that? | 04:35 |
| T1750 | half the time i can still use it half the time i cant | 04:35 |
| Kamilion | doormat81: iirc "metacity --replace" ? | 04:35 |
| theadmin | Kamilion: that'd be compiz --replace | 04:36 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: no, I don't see unlock button anywhere in that window | 04:36 |
| * john275 is testing | 04:36 | |
| theadmin | Kamilion: (compiz handles window decorations and metacity does not.) | 04:36 |
| doormat81 | Kamilion, Yeah, what theadmin said... I remember now. Thanks to both of you though | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: ok | 04:36 |
| Kamilion | All I remember is --replace :) | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: I guess what I was seeing is fine then, just stupid theme.. | 04:36 |
| Kamilion | doormat81: also -- I noticed I had problems with that when I tried using emerald themes. | 04:37 |
| THEO | cool thanks guys! | 04:37 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: what do I do now? | 04:37 |
| T1750 | bs it does something to the stickl | 04:37 |
| doormat81 | Kamilion, nah, it had been working fine since I installed 10.04, but this time when I logged in they were gone. Weird. | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: getting to that just loading this thing up again | 04:37 |
| T1750 | # dd if=/dev/sdg | 04:37 |
| theadmin | Anyhow, this sudoers file is very python-ish | 04:37 |
| gryllida1 | ok | 04:37 |
| T1750 | dd: opening `/dev/sdg': No medium found | 04:37 |

| ykphuah | what is an easy way to share the packages that I downloaded with others within my company? just duplicate the /var/cache/apt/archives into their machines? | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | theadmin: I am about to do that | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | theadmin: with gryllida1 | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | theadmin: change an account that does not have that, to one that can | 04:39 |
| gryllida1 | theadmin: system, administration, users, advanced settings should do it? | 04:39 |
| kreppnar | nits | 04:39 |
| nits | yes kreppnar | 04:40 |
| sebsebseb | theadmin: you need to be in the account that can do it first though | 04:40 |
| celeritas | T1750 i think the auto mount is part of gnome | 04:40 |
| Exxon | Kamilion: i tried and got tired with it back to 9.10 hee..hee | 04:40 |
| theadmin | sebsebseb, gryllida1: That's simple, I know how to, actually :D "username ALL=/bin/mount, /bin/umount" | 04:40 |
| kreppnar | nits: python2.6 btdownloadcurse.py (torrent file) | 04:40 |

| sebsebseb | theadmin: uhmmm | 04:40 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ykphuah, apt-proxy | 04:40 |

| hufx | howdy al:0 | 04:41 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb.. so.. what are you doing? looking for the default setup? | 04:41 |

| mwen | with ssh. | 04:42 |
| celeritas | T1750: regardless of the service providing the automount, a missing entry in dev is not related. is the automount trying to mount the device regardless of the fact that is missing? | 04:42 |

| Guest29711 | yeah I just got it now just checking it out | 04:43 |
| T1750 | i use the eject button in the nautilus (not dolphin) and the whole /dev/sdg stops responding | 04:43 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: now what? | 04:43 |
| T1750 | that eject button marks the device as unusable, safest choice perhaps but annoying | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: then go to advanced settings | 04:43 |
| Chak82 | celeritas: banshee doesnt crash down with de volume control | 04:43 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: done | 04:44 |
| * T1750 thinks its probably goood idea tho when he realised he could just umount himself | 04:44 | |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: now what? | 04:44 |
| * T1750 wonders how they did it | 04:44 | |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: contact information is probably blank | 04:44 |
| Kamilion | t1750: pretty sure they use hdparm to ask the drive to enter powersave | 04:44 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: teur | 04:44 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: true* | 04:45 |
| celeritas | T1750: ah, so it forces the mount. seems like whatever is automounting is ignoring your umount. are you umounting through sudo? | 04:45 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Guest29711, I use kismet + aircrack-ng | 04:45 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: five things ticked in user privildges? | 04:45 |

| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yeah? | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: administrator the system and such? | 04:47 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: false, all of them are ticked, except for "use audio devices", since it's 'administrator' type account - it hadsome setup aafter the install but I reset it to administrator type when making the second user.. | 04:47 |

| celeritas | theadmin, have you tried changing the fstab to using the sd0 format instead of uuid? | 04:48 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ykphuah, with apt-proxy you don't need to manually copy packages to each machine. it's a great tool. | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: oh right yeah you went in there yourself and did some stuff | 04:48 |
| ykphuah | rafaelsoaresbr: if I already have the packages, can I set up apt-proxy on my own machine? | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: well go to the other user account like that | 04:48 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: yes, when making second user, I didn't go to advanced settings,I just set that aaccount to be of type'administrator' | 04:48 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: and give it the things you want it to have | 04:48 |
| theadmin | Kamilion, celeritas: Well, fsck fixes it (it actually happens because of a faulty CMOS battery, it's "timestamp is in the future") | 04:49 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I would like to know what the default setup is since I have no idea what some of these checkboxes stand for | 04:49 |
| theadmin | Kamilion, celeritas: The device it complains of is /dev/sda1 (which is my /) | 04:49 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ykphuah, yes, you can also copy /var/cache/apt/archives from others machines to yours | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: my vm is actsaully alpha 1 of what will become the next Ubuntu, but very similar to 10.04, and for this I guess its exactly the same | 04:50 |
| Sereph | how can i edit the places menu? | 04:50 |
| theadmin | Sereph: You can't, it's dynamic. Well, apart from adding Nautilus bookmarks | 04:50 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: can you tell me what setup you see there? | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yep | 04:50 |
| Sereph | theadmin: well what does it pick up the things in it from | 04:51 |
| ms2204 | why my CUPS can not auto start ? | 04:51 |
| theadmin | Sereph: Apart from bookmarks, which is supposed to be ~/.gtk-bookmarks file, no idea | 04:51 |
| Sereph | theadmin: i added things to fstab and mounted them in /mnt but it doesnt see them... | 04:51 |
| acerimmer | Sereph: Go to one of your places the Bookmarks>Edit/Add Bookmarks | 04:51 |
| jnewman9838 | Hi all - I have what seems like a super-newbie question, but I just haven't been able to figure it out. Is there anyway to watch quicktime vidoes on apple.com? I have mplayer, but can't seem to get the website to actually send me the .mov file | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: ok this is what is ticked, altough I don't feel like typing the whole lot, so this will give you the idea | 04:52 |
| ykphuah | rafaelsoaresbr: does that means the other machine have to disable all the software sources? | 04:52 |
| ykphuah | rafaelsoaresbr: besides the apt-proxy:9999 | 04:52 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: like does "administer the system" mean that the user can install things without sudo pw, or is it needed in anyway? | 04:52 |
| theadmin | jnewman9838: If you have the VLC plugin for Firefox (should install with VLC AFAIK), use it, it plays those .mov things fine | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: I mean not using full names, you'll see what I mean | 04:52 |
| gryllida1 | ok | 04:52 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ykphuah, yes, others machines will access your machine to get packages. | 04:52 |
| celeritas | theadmin: maybe its complaining because it has a duplicate entry for / under sda1 first and then the uuid, making the second mount to root impossible | 04:53 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: hmm, the only "magic" I know of is blkid | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: access external storage, administrate system, config printers, mon system logs, share files local network, use cd room, use modem. ok thats more than five, tehre were two towards bottom as well | 04:53 |
| theadmin | celeritas: It's not. It's complaining cuz time got erased and it thought I'm in 80's lol | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: now most all of it you could have checked really I guess | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | most or all | 04:53 |
| theadmin | celeritas: "Last mount is too far in the future" | 04:54 |
| Sereph | acerimmer: I want it to notice the Hard drives... | 04:54 |
| dde | can anyone get this thing to load on 10.04???: http://www.bat.org/play/batclient | 04:54 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: ok. butdoes "administer the system" mean that the user can install things without sudo pw, or is it needed in anyway? | 04:54 |
| acerimmer | Sereph: should do that by default... | 04:54 |
| celeritas | theadmin: i though the uuid was not related to the time | 04:54 |
| theadmin | gryllida1: User's password will be still required | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: I think you just got to press ok after you got admin system, and things will be ok. unless you got to change the groups your other user has access to as well | 04:54 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: and which of them is to add the user to sudoers group | 04:54 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: Y'know what would be REALLY freaking useful? grub2 has network support -- someone should write an ntp client for it so grub2 can set the time from a server if an invalid system date's set on the hwclock. | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: administrate system should do that | 04:55 |
| Ubuntu_and_Coffe | Hello every 1 i am having trouble with audio on firefox like youtube it plays flash but no audio but audio is working on move player | 04:55 |
| theadmin | Kamilion: Not like it will be able to connect anyway, I need NM to do that for me :/ | 04:55 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I think I'll just make it be 'administrator' and log into it again | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: check other account after changes, before getting rid of one your in now, of course | 04:55 |
| con-man | celeritas, http://pastebin.ca/1878841 | 04:55 |
| Sereph | acerimmer: only the ones that are automounted by clicking them in that menu. if mounted from fstab or manually they dont. | 04:55 |
| con-man | celeritas, any better? | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: change settings for other account like this, and it should be fine | 04:55 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: or, rather, just delete it and use this one | 04:55 |
| Sereph | dde: yes | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: or make a new account, and then give it these permissions | 04:56 |
| Sereph | dde: if by run you mean launch it | 04:56 |
| Kamilion | theadmin: it would work for most standard ethernet/dhcp infrastructure... orrrrr you could just replace the laptop's rtc battery. | 04:56 |
| dde | Sereph, what could be wrong with my system that it doesnt load it? | 04:56 |
| dde | yes launch | 04:56 |
| dde | its a java app | 04:56 |
| theadmin | Kamilion: :D Well, it failed only once so far so whatever | 04:56 |
| Sereph | dde: do you have java installed? | 04:56 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: where do I set root passwor? | 04:56 |
| dde | a game | 04:56 |
| theadmin | gryllida1: Don't do that. | 04:56 |
| codebrainz | Kamilion, that's actually a cool idea ... i bet it wouldn't be too hard to add | 04:56 |
| h00k | !root | gryllida1 | 04:56 |
| ubottu | gryllida1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:56 |
| ykphuah | rafaelsoaresbr: thanks a lot! | 04:56 |
| theadmin | Kamilion: Well, it's not ethernet/dhcp, it's a VPN ISP. | 04:57 |
| snowrichard | there is no spoon | 04:57 |
| snowrichard | lol | 04:57 |
| Sereph | sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 04:57 |
| Kamilion | codebrainz: Hey, go pitch it to a grub SoC student! | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: root password in Ubuntu is something else... | 04:57 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ykphuah, you're welcome | 04:57 |
| Sereph | snowrichard: yes i saw that too | 04:57 |
| dde | Sereph, i believe so, otherwise i wouldnt get the error message in terminal: "cannot open jar: No such file" | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: the idea is to use sudo instead of root | 04:57 |
| celeritas | con-man, i see the module is loaded in the kernel but its not actually using it | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | !sudo | gryllida1 | 04:57 |
| ubottu | gryllida1: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 04:57 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: whenever I install an app, it asks me for a password | 04:57 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: whenever I install an app, it asks me for a password -where do I set it? | 04:57 |
| Kamilion | gryllida1: Don't set a root password. The root account has no password and is disabled for direct logins. | 04:57 |
| Sereph | dde: well I just ran it from browser | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yes it asks for the user account password, the one in the sudo file | 04:57 |
| === freevryheid is now known as fvs | ||
| Sereph | gryllida1: that is your password | 04:57 |
| theadmin | gryllida1: It's your user password. | 04:57 |
| con-man | celeritas, now what? | 04:57 |
| dde | Sereph, how? | 04:57 |
| Kamilion | gryllida1: the idea is to have a log of which account requested root access for 'task X' | 04:58 |
| codebrainz | Kamilion, how would it know what settings to use? just try dhcp on all interfaces, or a static option in grub.conf? | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: you can change it in that app as well I guess, but I would use the termianl to change the password :) | 04:58 |
| Sereph | had the option to open with java or save it | 04:58 |
| Sereph | dde: doy ou have sun java or openjdk? | 04:58 |
| dde | Sereph, both | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: or recovery modes root prompt if forgotton and can't log in to Ubuntu at all :D | 04:58 |
| codebrainz | Kamilion, i haven't played with grub2 networking at all | 04:58 |
| jasonmchristos | someone please help me out with festival on karmic http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1501212 | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: now that your not in your second account, you can easily change the password for it | 04:58 |
| Kamilion | codebrainz: Unfortunately, I think grub2 requires a pxe stack for the network support during boot time. | 04:58 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: so whenever I install a new app, I just put current user's password? | 04:58 |
| Sereph | dde: which one is it running with | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: yes you put in the password for the user that is set up to use sudo | 04:59 |
| celeritas | con-man try pulling the 8169 files out of the modules directory | 04:59 |
| Kamilion | or at least an undi driver | 04:59 |
| con-man | celeritas, I have no idea what that means | 04:59 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: and was telling you how to set it up so your other account will be able to use sudo | 04:59 |
| dde | Sereph, i dont know. how do i find out | 04:59 |
| codebrainz | Kamilion, you could do it early in the kernel, but would slow it way down on boot, so only if absolutely needed | 04:59 |
| Sereph | anyone else know how to do this? | 04:59 |
| Sereph | I only have sun java | 04:59 |
| Kamilion | but yeah, if grub2 can get an UNDI driver loaded for your card, it should be able to dhcp and attempt a NTP sync against A: the NTP option field in the DHCP response, or B: pool.ntp.org | 05:00 |
| Sereph | dde: i have this choose-java is aliased to `c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done' | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: are you happy with the user name of the other account | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: or do you want a new user name as well? | 05:00 |
| gryllida1 | no | 05:00 |
| codebrainz | Kamilion, i saw a bunch of net drivers somewhere in grub's source iirc | 05:00 |
| gryllida1 | that's fine | 05:00 |
| Kamilion | they come from gpxe (was etherboot) | 05:00 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I made the second user be 'administrator' and will just log into it | 05:00 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: so done the graphical stuff now for the other account yes? | 05:01 |
| gryllida1 | and use it | 05:01 |
| dde | Sereph, do i enter that into the terminal? could you put in quotes what i have to enter exactly? | 05:01 |
| Sereph | dde: that is in my .bash_profile | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: right, but you want the password changed? | 05:01 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I made it be admin, it has everything except for audio device usage ticked | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: you can have both accounts, and they both can do sudo, doesn't matter | 05:01 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: why would I change the password? | 05:01 |
| celeritas | con-man, modprobe the r8169 module out | 05:01 |
| Kamilion | Well, more to the point, grub2's networking (network *booting*) support is accomplished by pretty much just embedding gpxe. | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: I thought you wanted to, you put something earlier | 05:01 |
| gryllida1 | sebsebseb: I'll keep the 1st account to log into it as a way of recovery in case the second user account breaks | 05:02 |
| Sereph | dde: put in .bash_profile "alias choose-java=`c; for Java_Alternative in java keytool orbd rmid rmiregistry; do sudo update-alternatives --config "$Java_Alternative"; done'" | 05:02 |
| celeritas | con-man, should be something like modprobe -r r8169 | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | gryllida1: ok sure | 05:02 |
| theadmin | Hey - there is this weird network-manager feature/bug which makes it run only for a single user and this is VERY annoying (only one user can use the net at same time :/) | 05:02 |
| Sereph | without the double quotes on the ends | 05:02 |
| dde | Sereph, where is .bash_profile? | 05:02 |
| Sereph | dde: in your home directory generally, it may not exist though | 05:03 |
| hufx | jasonmchristos: u seem to have a LOT of dependcy problems! | 05:03 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: That actually sounds like a feature that upstream grub might be willing to add. You should propose it. | 05:04 |
| T1750 | whats the best GUI disk space usage visualiser | 05:04 |
| T1750 | i notice most of the ones in linux wont show files which is annoying | 05:04 |
| h00k | T1750: There is Disk Usage Analyzer | 05:04 |
| theadmin | T1750: Baobab is good enough IMO | 05:04 |
| theadmin | T1750: Default one | 05:05 |
| spenguin[work] | hey anyone using kernel 2.6.33 on a thinkpad x201? | 05:05 |
| hufx | T1750: Guparted will show all | 05:05 |
| Kamilion | Normally it's impolite to propose features like that without at least offering some token code that can be improved upon. | 05:05 |
| spenguin[work] | or anyone using a thinkpad x201 | 05:05 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | T1750, press <Alt><F2> then: gksu baobab | 05:05 |
| Kamilion | And unfortunately; I'm a full time sysadmin so I don't really have time to code or support said code. | 05:05 |

| dde | Sereph, that didn't fix it | 05:05 |
| kreppnar | can i get some help with a Creative Zen W player please? | 05:05 |

| Kamilion | codebrainz: My point :) I don't exactly have the time to tinker with it, sadly. | 05:07 |

| ohayo | Why do you kids seem to think Open Source software is so great? Proprietary software is made by professional software developers with real skills, while your GNU stuff is made by neckbeards living in their parents basements. You seem to think that software is made better by everyone being able to look at, and modify the source code of it. How many of you have actually contributed to a proper open source project? Not many I bet. So what ... | 05:15 |
| marcolus36 | hi anybody out there had any success getting sony vaio graphics working properly with lucid? Mine won't work with nvidia graphics | 05:15 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok wikipedia page says platform Python | 05:15 |
| ohayo | ... is so great about being able to view the source code of your programs if you're not going to do anything with it? Anyway, quit bragging about your crappy GNU stuff and leave software development to the professional engineers. | 05:15 |

| kzona1600 | Hey, what is this program normally used for? | 05:21 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: however Ubuntu uses a lot of Python | 05:21 |
| celeritas | con-man, let's try to blacklist the r8169 module and force the kernel to use the r8168 module for the nic | 05:21 |
| maco | theadmin: yay translators! | 05:21 |
| codebrainz | Ubuntu_and_Coffe, np | 05:21 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: and wikipedia said platform Python, however not been on the offical site yet | 05:21 |
| Kamilion | sad thing was, ohayo was a fedora user (CTCP versioned him, x-chat on FC13) | 05:21 |
| marcolus36 | soreau: and we can't remember exactly what the fix was. | 05:22 |

| doormat81 | So apparently I have all versions of python installed, but it defaults to 2.6. How can I make 3.1 the default? | 05:22 |
| maco | doormat81: thatll likely break a lot of stuff... | 05:22 |
| maco | doormat81: python2 and python3 are *NOT* compatible | 05:22 |
| celeritas | con-man, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=166624 obviously not the pc speakers. use r8169 instead | 05:22 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok wikipedia also says its cross platform :) | 05:22 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, you probably don't want to do that | 05:22 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Fedora huh? | 05:22 |
| soreau | marcolus36: Well you have a few options. 1) You can look in your X log to see if you notice anything obvious 2) You can pastebin it so others can view it 3) Ask in #nouveau (they probably will want your X log too) 4) Google some guide for installing the proprietary nvidia driver | 05:23 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: ok read that wrong, operating system cross platform, platform python | 05:23 |
| nomad | soreau sorry for the noob question but is that in places home or where? | 05:23 |
| dde | Sereph, i keep getting like 40 errors telling me all these files dont exist | 05:23 |

| nits | get this error wen i try to hash check a torrent http://paste.ubuntu.com/446445/ please help needed | 05:24 |
| soreau | nomad: ~/ means $HOME, which will be the equivalent of /home/$USER | 05:24 |
| Gryllida | sebsebseb: their download/install instructions are overkill at their website | 05:24 |
| codebrainz | doormat81, i think you can use virtualenv for this | 05:24 |
| Sereph | soreau: it also means $HOME | 05:24 |
| Kamilion | doormat81: You can use a hashbang line to specify the interpreter -- #!/usr/bin/python3.1 | 05:24 |
| sebsebseb | Gryllida: no they aren't | 05:24 |

| Sereph | dde: not entirely sure whats not existing.... but i dont know any other way to do it | 05:25 |
| maco | doormat81: you could put the path to 3.1 in your #! and then use ./myprog.py instead of using the "python" command | 05:25 |

| Kamilion | doormat81: "Both" -- the differences with 3.x and 2.6 are fairly minor; and some of the 3.x syntax is already being backported to 2.6. Keep in mind, most of the embedded python interpreters you'll run across will be 2.5 or 2.6 based. | 05:26 |

| soreau | kzona1600: Now run 'sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off' and see if it helps | 05:42 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, then run the command that I suggested, and that should disable power management | 05:42 |
| ckhikuzad | i want to know how to | 05:42 |
| kzona1600 | ok ill try | 05:42 |

| Guest11204 | @soreau thanks | 05:45 |
| Piccolo48 | My ubuntu still wont connect to the internet | 05:46 |
| soreau | kzona1600: The first real step to take is figuring out what the problem is exactly | 05:46 |
| h0rnman | soreau, which would be....odd...but again, I suppose I've seen stranger | 05:46 |
| kzona1600 | it could be the router | 05:46 |
| kzona1600 | i guess | 05:46 |
| soreau | kzona1600: Do you see anything interesting in the output of 'dmesg' after going to battery and wifi doesn't work? | 05:46 |
| Piccolo48 | ALthough I downloaded fwcutter, dkps, and bcmwl-kernel, ubunti still wont connect to the internet | 05:46 |
| kzona1600 | dmesg??? | 05:47 |
| soreau | kzona1600: Yes, dmesg is a way to dump your entire kernel log, since you booted | 05:47 |
| kiamo | is there a repo that includes skype? | 05:47 |
| epin8r | kiamo: yes | 05:47 |
| kzona1600 | how do i look at that? | 05:47 |
| soreau | kzona1600: Should give technical info as well as info about modules it's using | 05:47 |
| kiamo | epin8r, which one? medibuntu repos dont have skype | 05:48 |
| soreau | kzona1600: Simply type 'dmesg' in your terminal | 05:48 |
| Piccolo48 | Should I download ubuntu 64 bit? | 05:48 |
| celeritas | out | 05:48 |
| soreau | Piccolo48: For what target cpu? | 05:48 |
| Piccolo48 | Am I less likely to have internet problems if I download 64 bit ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| kzona1600 | looks normal too me | 05:48 |
| soreau | Piccolo48: Not particularly less likely. You would have to try it. What problem are you having with internet? | 05:49 |
| soreau | kzona1600: Well that was my only idea | 05:49 |
| Piccolo48 | It wont even detect the wirlesss network. I thought it was because I had a broadcom, but even downloading the appropriate packages for that did not fix it | 05:50 |
| kzona1600 | hey soreau how do i measage people personaly? | 05:50 |
| soreau | Piccolo48: You probably did it wrong | 05:50 |
| soreau | Piccolo48: Try again | 05:50 |

| soreau | Piccolo48: I do not know enough about broadcom to help but I know it takes extra effort to get it working from what I've heard | 05:51 |
| kzona1600 | and nothing happend | 05:52 |

| Piccolo48 | My guess is that there is a flat out bug here | 05:52 |
| ubutom | Polly55, you have to burn the image, not copy it to cd | 05:52 |
| Piccolo48 | but ok, ill figure it out myself like I should. Thanks for that guide though I should reread it | 05:52 |
| Polly55 | ok yeah sorry bad terminology | 05:53 |
| Polly55 | im pretty sure that is what i have done | 05:53 |
| ubutom | Polly55, is it booting up? | 05:53 |
| Polly55 | gets to a screen thats mostly black | 05:53 |
| Polly55 | but with a keyboard looking picture and small man in a circle down the bottom of the screen | 05:54 |
| Polly55 | then it just stops | 05:54 |
| kzona1600 | Im really confused i know what to do but someone just told me not to, im new to ubuntu and a freind told me to use this program if i had any questions, but its really confuseing | 05:54 |

| Sereph | kzona1600: told you not to do what | 05:55 |
| dde | could anyone please help me with jnpl files | 05:55 |
| Polly55 | it let me choose the language once | 05:55 |

| kzona1600 | lol | 05:56 |
| Kamilion | Polly55: And pressing enter a couple times does not start the disc? | 05:56 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, try opening a terminal, typing 'iwconfig', then copy/paste the results to ubuntu.pastebin.com and then post your pastebin URL to the channel | 05:56 |
| h0rnman | I want to see some information about your wireless card | 05:56 |
| Sereph | yeah dont pm people without permission ;), makes it hard for others to enter the conversation :) | 05:56 |
| kzona1600 | okay? ill try that | 05:56 |
| Polly55 | the disc seems to be running but i didnt press any keys | 05:56 |
| dde | ok I would just like to know, how do you run a jnlp file | 05:57 |
| Kamilion | Polly55: The splash screen is only the loader... try pressing enter a couple times | 05:57 |
| Polly55 | ok ill give that a shot thanks heaps!!! | 05:57 |
| Polly55 | should tht happen before or after i select language | 05:58 |
| Kamilion | after | 05:58 |
| Polly55 | ok well its happening before | 05:58 |
| Kamilion | it should show a small menu "try ubuntu" or something similar | 05:58 |
| Polly55 | yeah dont get that t ll | 05:58 |
| X5X | How can I installed multimedia support on Lubuntu 10.04? On Ubuntu I would just install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and there also also *buntu-restricted-extras packages for Kubuntu and Xubuntu. What do I need to get multimedia support on Lubuntu? | 05:58 |
| frobisher | Is there a good tutorial in seting up 10.4. | 05:58 |
| Polly55 | at all* | 05:58 |
| ubutom | Polly55, make sure to boot from the cdrom | 05:58 |
| Kamilion | might have gotten a bad disc; there should be an option in that menu to "verify CD", usually takes a little while if you select it. | 05:58 |

| kzona1600 | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2Rc3D5h | 06:00 |
| h0rnman | alex5454, try 'whereis dgen' | 06:00 |
| Kamilion | alex5454: I think dgen's a commandline program, you need a frontend or just alt-f2 'dgen' | 06:00 |
| Polly55 | problem is im not getting lnguge selection | 06:00 |
| Neroon | Hi there. Anyone here that could tell me, if it's possible to backup only the data from a partition with dd? | 06:00 |
| ubutom | alex5454, dpkg -L dgen | 06:01 |
| theadmin | X5X: So far there is no special package for it, go with ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:01 |
| Kamilion | Neroon: Nope, DD is a stream dump, doesn't do filtering. | 06:01 |
| Kamilion | Neroon: I would suggest tar | 06:01 |
| X5X | theadmin: okay thanks | 06:02 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, now do the same for 'sudo lspci' | 06:02 |
| Jordan_U | Polly55: Press any key early in the boot process of the LiveCD and you will get a boot menu. One of the options is to check the disk for defects (from a bad burn/scratches). Can you try that option? | 06:02 |
| Neroon | Kamilion: I almost thought so ... thanks. And tar even works with the partition with the system folders in it? | 06:02 |
| kzona1600 | ok | 06:02 |
| Kamilion | Neroon: I think you need to specify -p in there somewhere to preserve permissions; and you need to --exclude /dev and /sys and /proc... | 06:03 |
| Neroon | Kamilion: The thing is, i accidently installed lucid on a 50gb partition, cause i thought it was a 10gb only ... | 06:03 |
| Kamilion | yeah, dd will give you a 50GB file. | 06:04 |

| h0rnman | ok...try installing this package: linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic | 06:07 |
| Kamilion | Neroon: then you can just copy that tarball off somewhere and kill the partition, and use the CD to reinstall. Then just extract the tarball on the new install. | 06:07 |
| h0rnman | it seems that there are reports of that fixing various and sundry wireless issues on your card | 06:08 |

| kzona1600 | i dont think my card was made for linux anyway lol | 06:08 |
| kzona1600 | i got this puter wif Windows XP on it | 06:08 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: Could you resednd the last message, please? | 06:09 |
| h0rnman | its the standard wireless backport driver package...it gets thrown around here and there on the forums | 06:09 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: If you havn't made many changes; you should be safe to just tarball up your homedir with sudo tar -cvf /home/username.tar /home/username && chown username.username /home/username.tar | 06:09 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: then you can just copy that tarball off somewhere and kill the partition, and use the CD to reinstall. Then just extract the tarball on the new install. | 06:09 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: Thanks. I know that, but the changes aren | 06:09 |
| kzona1600 | ok what was thw backport cmd??? | 06:09 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: t limited to my home folder ... | 06:09 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, go to terminal, type 'sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic' | 06:09 |
| Kamilion | kzona1600: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic | 06:10 |
| h0rnman | then reboot and try again | 06:10 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: It's always a poor idea to mess with directories outside your homedir. Unless you're talking about the packages you installed; and it's easy to backup that list of packages and ask the new install to reinstall them. | 06:11 |
| h0rnman | I think I remember reading somewhere in an investigation into my own wireless woes that part of the wireless stack was rewritten for Lucid. Since those Atheros cards have always been kinda off in Ubuntu, I figure rolling back some drivers may do the trick | 06:11 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: It's not only that, but even reinstalling all the stuff really sucks with 384kbit/sec. That takes forever and a day | 06:12 |
| kzona1600 | yea | 06:12 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list | 06:12 |
| Kamilion | that's a fun one to type out. | 06:12 |
| ubutom | Shambler, 56 k modem was far worse :P | 06:12 |
| FreetodrinkSR | Jordan_U: Thank you for the link bud. I'm happily back in my Ubuntu and the bootloader worked amazingly well. | 06:12 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, also as an idea, if you're not committed to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), you could always download and install 9.10 (Karmic Koala) | 06:13 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: I started with 14,4 k 16 years ago :-) | 06:13 |
| Jordan_U | FreetodrinkSR: You're welcome. | 06:13 |
| kzona1600 | Well, thanks guys i think im going to go to bed now, its like 1:12 ill fix it tommorw | 06:13 |
| h0rnman | kzona1600, I may end up going that route myself here soon | 06:13 |
| kzona1600 | oh, ok | 06:13 |
| kzona1600 | cool | 06:13 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: dump /var/cache/apt/archives/* somewhere on your network and restore it | 06:14 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: I was just hoping ghost4linux would recognize the ext4 partition and could dump the data only to a .img file .... bad luck | 06:14 |
| kzona1600 | night guys | 06:14 |
| Kamilion | Shambler: try partedmagic or gparted live for ext4 support. Clonezilla works too. | 06:14 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: k. will give these a try then. and only if none of these work, i gotta do what i dont wanna do ... | 06:15 |
| Jordan_U | Shambler: Look into partimage | 06:15 |
| dde | >:'( can anyone please help me get my .jnlp file to work | 06:15 |
| Kamilion | acronis trueimage v13 series is the only commercial imager I know of that handles ext4 so far. | 06:15 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: Those livecds are mostly based on partimage. | 06:16 |
| Shambler | Kamilion: Thanks a lot for your help. Gotta go to work | 06:16 |
| Kamilion | Cheers! | 06:16 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: parted != partimage. | 06:16 |
| Kamilion | partedmagic.org -- IIRC this version or next version's ubuntu based anyway. | 06:16 |
| Kamilion | ack | 06:17 |
| Kamilion | com | 06:17 |
| Mgamerz | alright | 06:17 |
| Mgamerz | so | 06:17 |
| Jordan_U | Shambler: Never mind, I just looked and was surprised to find that partimage still doesn't support ext4 :( | 06:18 |
| Mgamerz | i need to do some modem to modem terminal | 06:18 |
| Mgamerz | and http://derrick-caluag.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-setup-dial-in-server-on-linux.html is way outdated | 06:18 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: http://partedmagic.com/ The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and it's got a nice tmpfs setup. | 06:18 |
| Shambler | Jordan_U: Too bad ... maybe clonezilla will be more usefull. C ya | 06:19 |
| Mgamerz | can anyone hlep me translate the old guide into a bit of a newer, usable one? | 06:19 |
| Kamilion | boot it up and it loads into a ramdrive and spits out the cd. Handy. | 06:19 |
| Mgamerz | mainly /etc/inittab is what kills it :/ | 06:19 |
| zetheroo | does Rythmbox not have a graphical equaliser? | 06:19 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | is vuze opensource? | 06:20 |
| banker247 | hey guys, i'm following this guide.. pretty much to the t http://openmindedbrain.info/09/05/2010/undervolting-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lts/ for some reason when i get to the cat part.. its not finding the file phc_default_vids which i believe is extracted from the modules when you do a make install.. - is there something i'm missing? | 06:21 |
| wildbat | is there a macro tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or windows messaging? | 06:22 |
| Mgamerz | its amazing any help is done with all this text here | 06:23 |
| Kamilion | rafaelsoaresbr: Sort of. The azureus shell is -- but AFAIK the vuze plugin and server-side webpages are not. | 06:23 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: Do you happen to know what version of super grub disk they include? super grub disk isn't mentioned at all in http://partedmagic.com/programs.html (and there's at least one live distro using a really early version of super grub2 disk that's so old it's practically useless) | 06:23 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: Not sure, sec while I fire it up in vbox | 06:24 |
| b1ff2 | HELO IZ ANYONE HURE???! | 06:24 |
| b1ff2 | HOW 1Z GRUB2 BETTUR THAN GRUB????! | 06:24 |
| FloodBot4 | b1ff2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:24 |
| rww | o.O | 06:25 |
| silv3r_m00n | google chrome in ubuntu 9.10 doesn't display unicode fonts | 06:25 |
| silv3r_m00n | how to fix ? | 06:25 |
| Yusuke | install the new unicode fonts | 06:26 |
| Yusuke | ;p | 06:26 |
| Yusuke | update | 06:26 |
| bthornton | Is there any way to "reset" the sound subsystem in Lucid without logging-out/restarting? No sound will play in anything and my mixer icon is "grayed out" as though it can't find an audio device. | 06:28 |
| b1ff2 | U CAN RESTART EH SOUND SYSTEM WITH PULSEAUDIO -K | 06:29 |
| bthornton | I think I may have made the mistake of trying to run two audio applications at once... (lot to ask from an i7 system) | 06:29 |
| silv3r_m00n | Yusuke: how to update ? | 06:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | which package | 06:30 |
| silv3r_m00n | ? | 06:30 |
| bthornton | b1ff2: good idea but didn't seem to work. I can't even kill pulseaudio | 06:30 |
| bthornton | with killall | 06:30 |
| Jordan_U | !caps | b1ff2 | 06:30 |
| ubottu | b1ff2: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:30 |
| etrask | bthornton: even using kill -9 ? | 06:30 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: There's two listed. Super Grub Disk 1 and Super Grub Disk 2. Super Grub Disk 1 is "0.97-os.1" | 06:30 |
| bthornton | etrask: haven't tried... willl have to see which PID | 06:31 |
| bthornton | okay kill -9 got it | 06:31 |
| etrask | I was ecstatic when I found the -9 switch. It basically doesn't "ask" the program to shutdown | 06:31 |
| bthornton | okay so I killed pulseaudio and it respawned (which is fine I guess), but still no audio | 06:32 |
| etrask | Not too knowledgable in that area, sorry :( | 06:32 |
| bthornton | one of the apps I was running was Amarok and it probably uses some different audio device which, I'm guessing, is competing with pulseaudio | 06:32 |
| bthornton | 'cause that's about the point at which I lost sound. | 06:32 |
| Kamilion | .... And I booped up my grub4dos config to load supergrubdisk2 on this iso, can't get a version from it. Grabbing the normal ver... | 06:33 |
| bthornton | etrask: ah, well thanks anyway | 06:33 |
| banker247 | what does this mean? | 06:33 |
| banker247 | You need to have at least your kernel-headers installed. | 06:33 |
| banker247 | You also need the build essentials (gcc, libc, make, etc). | 06:33 |
| banker247 | build essentials part.. | 06:33 |
| bazhang | banker247, install build-essential | 06:33 |
| etrask | banker247: there is a package called build-essentials | 06:33 |
| etrask | contains the things you've listed there | 06:33 |
| banker247 | is that prolly while my module i'm trying to make install isn't working properly? | 06:34 |
| bazhang | !b-e | 06:34 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 06:34 |
| ubutom | banker247, have you done step 1-3? | 06:34 |
| banker247 | yea | 06:34 |
| banker247 | i've gotten all the way to the part where you check the cat | 06:35 |
| banker247 | and it doesn't find the file.. | 06:35 |
| ubutom | banker247, in step 2 you install the sources and then you have to use the phc kernel | 06:35 |
| banker247 | so i think its something to do with my package | 06:35 |
| banker247 | right i'm in the kernel now | 06:35 |
| jmichaelx | is anyone else having problems reaching security.ubuntu.com? | 06:35 |
| banker247 | cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_default_vids | 06:35 |
| banker247 | cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/phc_default_vids: No such file or directory | 06:35 |
| banker247 | this is where i'm at | 06:35 |
| ubutom | hhm | 06:35 |
| banker247 | so whats happneing is the phc_default_vids file.. is NOT being create | 06:36 |
| banker247 | d | 06:36 |
| banker247 | whats interesting is i did this before awhile back and its not working lol.. i just reinstalled linux | 06:36 |
| zetheroo | is there a system-wide graphic equaliser for Ubuntu? | 06:36 |
| banker247 | so i thinki i'm missing osme kinda packages that make the make install work | 06:36 |
| Flannel | banker247: install build-essential | 06:37 |
| jmichaelx | is anyone else having problems reaching security.ubuntu.com? | 06:37 |
| ubutom | banker247, but you have the script loaded, right? | 06:37 |
| banker247 | Flannel its installed i just reinstalled it | 06:37 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: several, but they're all pains to install. | 06:37 |
| Flannel | banker247: then you should be able to compile fine | 06:37 |
| ubutom | banker247, the script he wrote, http://openmindedbrain.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/intel-phc-undervolt.bash | 06:37 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: hmm ok | 06:37 |
| banker247 | ubutom i'm not running the script i already know my undervolt settings | 06:38 |
| ubutom | banker247, I guess you have to execute that first before there is any phc_default_vids file | 06:38 |
| banker247 | oh really? | 06:38 |
| ubutom | banker247, as i said, a guess | 06:38 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: they rely on doing weird things like setting jack up and using a LADSP eq plugin or other hackery like that. | 06:38 |
| banker247 | because in the guide he sais.. after sudo make install then you check for the phc_default_vids | 06:38 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: You might have better luck poking around in pulseaudio or finding a player with an eq like xmms2 used to have. | 06:39 |
| nits | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504415 help please | 06:39 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: yeah, no worries ... I was just hopeing there was something simple to install :) | 06:39 |
| ubutom | banker247, so it fails at compiling.. hm | 06:39 |
| banker247 | no it doesn't fail | 06:39 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: I am just surprised that Rhythmbox doesn't have one still ... | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: I dunno if the pulseaudio utilities have an eq or not offhand. | 06:39 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: it doesn't have a plugin for one? | 06:39 |
| banker247 | ubutom i get good mesages durreing compile nothing crazy.. just that file isn't created | 06:40 |
| jmichaelx | is security.ubuntu.com unreachable for anyone else right now? | 06:40 |
| banker247 | ubutom which means the module doesn't install or somethin | 06:40 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: not that I know of | 06:40 |
| phong_ | hi guys | 06:40 |

| Kamilion | Tada. | 06:41 |
| jmichaelx | geesh... | 06:41 |
| ubutom | banker247, maybe it has to be loaded first, would try a reboot or starting the module manually, whcih i lack knowledge of right now ;) | 06:41 |
| ubutom | the command that is | 06:41 |
| ubuntu | !flash | 06:42 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 06:42 |
| jmichaelx | to load manually = 'sudo modprobe module-name' | 06:42 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: found this ... http://www.lirmm.fr/~morandat/index.php/Main/Tools | 06:42 |
| ubutom | banker247, something with modprobe, yea, what jmichaelx said :D | 06:42 |

| phong_ | how to compile evolution? | 06:49 |
| jmichaelx | banker247: what is the output for 'uname -r'? | 06:49 |
| nits | phong_ it comes by default with ubuntu | 06:49 |
| Kamilion | ubottu: rbeq is the Rhythmbox 10-band Equalizer found at http://rbeq.googlecode.com/ -- easy to install, just extract to ~/.gnome2/ and enable the plugin in Rhythmbox! | 06:49 |
| banker247 | 2.6.32-22-generic-phc | 06:49 |
| Kamilion | Hope that's a useful factoid for others :D | 06:51 |
| phong_ | nits, wheer to run it then | 06:51 |
| jmichaelx | banker247: and you did download the tarball, unpack it, and you ran make prepare, make, make install/? | 06:51 |
| banker247 | jmichalx whats interesting is he sais.. if everything worked ou should see some numbers.. if ont restart and check back | 06:51 |
| banker247 | yup | 06:51 |
| banker247 | several times nowheh | 06:51 |
| nits | phong_: alt+F2 type in evolution | 06:51 |
| Kamilion | however it does require someone to remember to ask for the rbeq keyword ;) | 06:51 |
| nits | some one please help me i get error wen i hash check a torrent http://paste.ubuntu.com/446464/ please private message been posting here and the forums for about 2 and a half hours now | 06:52 |
| jmichaelx | banker247: do you know what the name of the module is that you compiled? | 06:53 |
| Kamilion | nits: use a different torrent client that doesn't rely on the deprecated sha module in python? | 06:53 |
| banker247 | how do i check that? | 06:53 |
| Kamilion | I would suggest deluge if you want a console UI. | 06:53 |
| jmichaelx | did you not see a name after you ran make? | 06:54 |
| nits | Kamilion: i use rtorrent and then bitlord in windows but it doesn't download | 06:54 |
| jmichaelx | make/mae install* | 06:54 |
| jmichaelx | make install** | 06:54 |
| banker247 | whats the link for pastebin i'll show you all that happened | 06:54 |
| rww | banker247: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 06:54 |
| jmichaelx | banker247: what output do you get from 'lsmod | grep phc' | 06:55 |
| Kamilion | My opinion is that you have poor taste in torrent clients ;) utorrent and deluge are in my opinion, the most useful clients due to their STUN-like firewall jumping abilities. | 06:55 |
| banker247 | nothing | 06:55 |
| nits | Kamilion: actually it worked until yesterday there was a stupid powercut and i've been having problems since | 06:56 |
| banker247 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/446470/ | 06:56 |
| Kamilion | Deluge has a nice client/server arch that uses a daemon to do the actual torrenting (and can continue after a logout) and your choice of frontends: console, gtk, and a nice webui. | 06:56 |
| Kamilion | nits: might try a fsck then? | 06:56 |
| Polly55 | so still having trouble trying ubuntu nd would love some help can get to the menu select try ubuntu then nothing happens any ideas? | 06:57 |
| nits | Kamilion: How do i do a fsck for a ntfs please give me the full command | 06:57 |
| Kamilion | *snrtk* that's the one thing I've never gotten ubuntu to do. | 06:57 |
| banker247 | whats strange is last time i thoght it didn't work too and i think i did it a couple times then it finally worked.. but i dont know what i did. | 06:57 |
| banker247 | so i think this is an I D 10 T propblem .. lol | 06:57 |
| nits | Kamilion: lol | 06:58 |
| Kamilion | Try a winpe based livecd, the modern 7 based ones are quite useful for that. | 06:58 |
| jmichaelx | banker247: try running 'sudo modprobe phc-intel' | 06:58 |
| nits | Thanks Kamilion will do that | 06:58 |
| banker247 | banker247@banker247:~/Downloads/phc-intel-0.3.2-10$ sudo modprobe phc-intel | 06:58 |
| banker247 | FATAL: Module phc_intel not found. | 06:58 |

| UbuntuBoy | Kamilion: Well I'm sure Apple can figure out someway to do it. | 07:07 |
| nits | Kamilion: i just put it into the terminal and that's it? | 07:07 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuBoy, Apple has no desire to port iTunes to Linux | 07:07 |
| Kamilion | UbuntuBoy: There's a big different between 'can figure out' and 'give you the finger for asking'. Apple's of the latter. | 07:08 |
| Kamilion | nits: yeah, that should mark it as needing a check; if you boot windows on that machine, it should automatically force a disk check. | 07:08 |
| UbuntuBoy | ubutom_: how'd you know that? did you work for Apple or something. | 07:09 |
| nits | Kamilion: Thanks :) | 07:09 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuBoy, what would they have from that? decreasing sells of apple hardware, and they don't want that. | 07:09 |

| Kamilion | And I can tell you why too: Apple has a very tight lifecycle. When they say something's deprecated or obsolete, they mean it. Poof, it's *gone*. They control the hardware, the default software, and have a nice little lockgrip on their elitist niche. Which I appreciate (hence why I'm a shareholder) | 07:12 |

| ubutom_ | UbuntuBoy, nope, windows has a large user base, it's all about money | 07:13 |
| Kamilion | If they don't have total control over something, they don't do it. Period. | 07:13 |
| ubutom_ | UbuntuBoy, besides, if it wasn't available for Windows, noone with a windows box would buy ipods | 07:13 |
| Kamilion | and missing that 99% of the market would be a foolish move. Missing our 3% of the market will not be. | 07:14 |

| ubottu | Zeu5: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:16 |

| hotfloppy | indus: how to resize all of my desktop icon size ? other than the stretch option.. | 07:21 |
| indus | hotfloppy, use smaller icons | 07:22 |
| indus | hotfloppy, smaller icon set i mean | 07:22 |
| indus | hotfloppy, but iam not much into customization, you can read some online guides | 07:23 |
| Kartagis | Eugene89, set up a crontab to run mysqldump | 07:23 |
| indus | hotfloppy, but unless someone creates a diff size icon, you wont get it | 07:23 |
| Kamilion | *sigh* I came into the channel asking for help; in vbox 3.2.4 my lucid 64 server was going bonkers during the install, checked my md5sums, did the iso verify, etc etc etc... ten times this afternoon it broke. Another four times tonight. Now -- same iso, same vbox, same settings, no changes, I just got a successful install. ARRRRRRGH! | 07:23 |
| jmichaelx | Kamilion: i ssh'd into a server at work, and security.ubuntu.com repo is not reachable from there, either | 07:24 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: what kind of bonkers | 07:24 |
| Eugene89 | Kartagis, would that allow my backup to run without logging in? | 07:24 |
| Kartagis | Eugene89, yes | 07:24 |
| indus | jmichaelx, must be down then | 07:24 |

| Kane_Hart | anyone able to link me to like dns/lamp setup.. I got lamp working and ftp working and my site working my next thing I want to do is add just 1 domain with working dns so like mysite.com to my ip but not sure how. Anyone able to help me.. I get 2 ip's too | 07:25 |
| indus | jmichaelx, ok i ping it, i have packet loss | 07:25 |
| hotfloppy | indus: thanks. i think i should post this issue on Ubuntu brainstorm.. | 07:25 |
| Eugene89 | Kartagis, Thanks. I will read up more on crontab | 07:25 |
| indus | hotfloppy, brainstorm? i dont think this wil be approvied | 07:25 |
| jmichaelx | ok, interesting. ty for the feedback. | 07:25 |
| Docteh | Kane_Hart: if your ip is not static you'll want to have dns hosted somewhere else | 07:25 |
| banker247 | how do you source a file? | 07:26 |
| Kamilion | ... Okay, I'm seeing packetloss from work. (That's NASA Ames, directly on the MAE WEST interchange.) Something is indeed amiss, jmichaelx. | 07:26 |
| wildbat_laptop | is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message? | 07:26 |
| Kane_Hart | Docteh this a dedicated server | 07:26 |
| Kane_Hart | and its static | 07:26 |
| jmichaelx | hmm | 07:26 |
| Kane_Hart | I got like 5 ips lol | 07:26 |
| Docteh | ok | 07:26 |
| Kamilion | Kane_Hart: I've got a nice lucid nginx howto for php+rails with passenger... | 07:27 |
| Kartagis | Eugene89, no problem. the command you need to run is mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > db.sql | 07:27 |
| garden_ | hello | 07:27 |
| Kane_Hart | tbh don't know one word you just said besides php :P | 07:27 |
| Kane_Hart | I just have lamp/ftp all working just want domain working :P | 07:27 |
| hotfloppy | indus: really? i think if they implementing the option to easily change the desktop icon size would be nice.. anyways, thanks.. | 07:28 |
| garden_ | may I ask you a queston?????? | 07:28 |
| Docteh | Kane_Hart: unless you're using somethinh fancy to manage virtualhosts, any old uh hmm, bind/named tut should work | 07:28 |
| Eugene89 | Kartagis, What about to store it in a certain directory? Or would you kindly direct me somewhere which would have all the information? Sorry for troubling you | 07:28 |
| Kamilion | Kane_Hart: If you're not hosting your own DNS and neither is your webhost; you might try freedns.afraid.org | 07:28 |
| Kartagis | Eugene89, mysqldump -uuser -ppass [database] > /path/to/db.sql | 07:29 |
| Kane_Hart | would | 07:29 |
| Kane_Hart | namecheap have it | 07:29 |
| Kane_Hart | ok if I run dns elsewhere like namecheap | 07:29 |
| Kamilion | Yes, but it depends if you've set it up to use it. | 07:29 |
| Kane_Hart | how do I make it so when points to server ip | 07:29 |
| Docteh | Kane_Hart: step one is to log in to where you set your nameserver for the domain and try to assign it one of your ip addresses, that might require getting some guy (the techs) to do it | 07:29 |
| Kane_Hart | that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site | 07:29 |
| flodin | hey guys, ftp.df.lth.se is down "for a few days" (according to the 503 response) in case you didn't know | 07:29 |

| Kamilion | oh. | 07:30 |
| trijntje | Is there a program for ubuntu that shows running programs sorted to their network usage? | 07:30 |
| indus | hotfloppy, well, if you mean , the one click will switch between icons of difff sizes, then its easy but if you want something that auto creates a smaller icon instead of stretch, then quite tough | 07:30 |
| boko | * Connecting to irc.mvr.gamezlan.net (6667) | 07:30 |
| boko | Unable to connect to server (Connection timed out) | 07:30 |
| boko | ircd-hybrid | 07:30 |
| Kamilion | Okay, you need to tell apache which vhost to use or use *:80 | 07:30 |
| Docteh | trijntje: I keep forgetting the name of the cool app that deals with that :( | 07:31 |
| Docteh | try iptraf maybe | 07:31 |
| Kamilion | So, you need someone who knows apache2 vhost stuff. Sorry; I use nginx. | 07:31 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: sounds like he just need a bind howto | 07:31 |
| hotfloppy | indus: yes, i want those one click option :) so, will it get approve ? | 07:31 |
| Kamilion | Docteh: Nope, I've interpreted he has the A record, and lacks the apache vhost | 07:32 |
| Docteh | ohhh | 07:32 |
| indus | hotfloppy, how do i know :D | 07:32 |
| trijntje | Docteh, ill try iptraf, give a call when the cool app comes to mind ;) | 07:32 |
| indus | hotfloppy, i dont own canonical :) | 07:32 |
| hotfloppy | indus: lol | 07:32 |
| Kamilion | " how do I make it so when points to server ip that the server accepts it to show that domain as the site" -- sounds like 'how do I set up apache2 vhosts" to me | 07:32 |
| greezmunkey | trijntje: Docteh iptraf will do that... | 07:32 |
| Docteh | oh i missed that | 07:32 |
| Kamilion | he posted it on two lines ;) | 07:33 |

| greezmunkey | trijntje: you want it to track ip usabe by program/process? It does that out of the box. | 07:35 |
| indus | hotfloppy, using some tool like inkscape, | 07:35 |
| Docteh | fire it up and pick an interface | 07:35 |

| Kamilion | The sad thing is; I've had better luck with linux supporting the cheaper stuff ;) | 07:44 |
| Docteh | I've got a Q6600 with 1 gig of ram right now | 07:44 |
| profxavier | 1GB, why ? | 07:44 |
| wise_crypt | guys my question still stands | 07:44 |
| mechdave | Kamilion, too true, the more common the chipset the better for Linux :) | 07:45 |
| === PhilippeD_ is now known as PhilippeD | ||
| Docteh | wise_crypt: just bump off /usr/sbin/NetworkManagerDispatcher | 07:45 |
| === Remixman_ is now known as Remixman | ||
| Kamilion | wise_crypt: Hold on, lemme go find the gconf knob that hides the icon. | 07:45 |
| Docteh | wise_crypt: or is it still showing without network manager actualyl running? | 07:45 |
| hotfloppy | indus: in Kubuntu, you can resize all desktop icon size into smaller size with just one option / dialog box.. | 07:45 |
| Docteh | it used to only show up if there was something to helpfull mismanager | 07:46 |
| Kamilion | oh, hey, I sort of realized... You could just install wicd -- that conflicts with network-manager | 07:46 |
| wise_crypt | Kamilion: i can remove the icon if i want to, it removing nm i asked | 07:46 |
| indus | hotfloppy, i think in ubuntu gconf editor might have a solution | 07:46 |
| Kamilion | should be an easier task removing wicd than NM. | 07:46 |
| wise_crypt | bumb | 07:47 |
| Docteh | how have you tried disabling it? | 07:47 |
| greezmunkey | wise_crypt: I think you can do that, but it may raise hedoublehockeysticks with future updates. | 07:48 |
| Docteh | if theres a networkmanager.conf in /etc/init rename that to blah.disabled? | 07:48 |
| wise_crypt | greezmunkey: hmm | 07:48 |
| thune3 | fpauser__: System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts "Move between windows, using a popup window" <---- check that | 07:48 |
| hotfloppy | indus: checking the gconf-editor.. | 07:49 |
| hotfloppy | indus: i'll be back here later.. | 07:49 |
| indus | kk | 07:49 |
| tasslehoff | Any repo that can give me emacs >= 23.2? | 07:50 |
| banker247 | how do you unload acpi-cpufreq | 07:50 |
| indus | hotfloppy, someeone has a brainstrom idea | 07:50 |
| indus | hotfloppy, googled it | 07:50 |
| Docteh | banker247: why do you want to remove it? | 07:51 |
| greezmunkey | wise_crypt: sudo apt-get remove network-manager, according to quite a few posts. I suppose you can always reinstall if needed, later. | 07:51 |
| banker247 | trying to undervolt | 07:51 |
| Docteh | could try blacklisting it to prevent it from loading if you cant rmmod it | 07:51 |
| Kamilion | banker247: 'rmmod acpi-cpufreq' | 07:51 |
| nsh | is it possible for a non-root user to mount a remote NFS share? | 07:51 |
| * Sauron buenos dias | 07:51 | |
| nsh | without suid mount | 07:51 |
| hotfloppy | indus: i already search the brainstorm with "icon size" as a keyword, but has no luck.. | 07:51 |
| Docteh | nsh: only if you specify user flag in fstab | 07:52 |
| nsh | hmm | 07:52 |
| wise_crypt | greezmunkey: sudo apt-get remove network-manager --purge without purging ? | 07:52 |
| Docteh | nsh: you could write your own setuid mount app that only takes the args you want | 07:52 |
| indus | hotfloppy, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/12035/ | 07:52 |
| nsh | Docteh, fstab on the sharing machine? | 07:52 |
| Docteh | i think mount() is a kernel call | 07:52 |
| Docteh | nsh: fstab on the computer mounting | 07:52 |
| zetheroo | why do RTF files always ask how you want them to be opened ... even when the app has been set in Open With in properties ... ? | 07:54 |
| nsh | i can't see what the kernel can request from the remote machine over the network that a regular user couldn't, theoretically | 07:54 |
| nsh | i should read up the protocol i guses | 07:54 |
| Kamilion | nsh: here's my nfs client line: 10.10.10.250:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0 | 07:55 |
| Docteh | nsh: i must have interpreted that question wrong | 07:55 |
| zetheroo | seems to me that RTF files are thought to be executable ... should not be ... is there a way to change this system-wide? | 07:55 |
| Docteh | nsh: ports below 1024 require system user to open on linux/unix/etc, that might be part of it | 07:55 |
| nsh | oh, NFS checks the originating port, perhaps | 07:56 |
| nsh | for the RPC call | 07:56 |
| indus | hotfloppy, ok found something | 07:56 |
| indus | hotfloppy, | 07:56 |
| indus | - Open up Nautilus. | 07:56 |
| indus | - Select the edit menu | 07:56 |
| indus | - Select the Perferences item | 07:56 |
| indus | - Choose the view catagory | 07:56 |
| FloodBot4 | indus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 07:56 |
| indus | - Under Icon View Defaults modify the Default Zoom Level | 07:56 |
| nsh | or requires the mounter to have an open port below 1024 to receive data on | 07:56 |
| nsh | that would make sense | 07:56 |
| hotfloppy | indus: where is the other solution? :( by reading the comment, everyone suggesting the Nautilus preferences.. | 07:56 |
| hotfloppy | ops.. | 07:56 |
| hotfloppy | indus: i'm a slow typist.. | 07:57 |
| Docteh | nsh: it also might just not care, nfs is known to be difficult to secure | 07:57 |
| indus | hotfloppy, yea gconf editor > apps > nautilus > icon view thumbnail size | 07:57 |
| * nsh nods | 07:57 | |
| Kamilion | nsh: I've got nautilus mount/umountable NFS drives on my karmic and lucid workstations right now with the above fstab line. | 07:57 |
| nsh | Kamilion, right | 07:57 |
| Docteh | nfsv4 has some kerberos stuff but i dont know anything about kerberos | 07:57 |
| hotfloppy | indus: i already get the nautilus preferences, but i want to change only the desktop icon size.. | 07:57 |
| * nsh reads up | 07:57 | |
| indus | hotfloppy, only desktop, hmm | 07:58 |
| hotfloppy | indus: thats why i said "like the one in Kubuntu" | 07:58 |
| hotfloppy | indus: in Kubuntu, they change only desktop icon size.. | 07:58 |
| indus | hotfloppy, oh ok | 07:58 |
| indus | hotfloppy, i guess only solution is manually cchange it | 07:59 |
| hotfloppy | indus: but i love gnome :-( | 07:59 |
| Docteh | if i could find a filesystem where different computers share the block device but dont thwomp on each others files as a curticy I'd be really happy | 07:59 |
| Kamilion | nsh: 10.10.10.250:/mnt/DumpSpace /media/bbdump nfs rw,soft,user,noauto 0 0 --- just make sure it's a directory in /media if you want nautilus to manage it. noauto means it isn't mounted at boot, and karmic and lucid use policykit or it's ilk to trigger the mount via gvfs without a suid mount IIRC. | 07:59 |
| hotfloppy | indus: yeap, i thought so.. | 07:59 |
| nsh | Kamilion, thanks, but i'm just pondering the matter without any particular application | 07:59 |
| hotfloppy | indus: thats why people on brainstorm should implement this idea | 07:59 |
| Kamilion | nsh: from the commandline, you can use gvfs-mount to use the same framework. | 08:00 |
| kb-allstar | #ubuntu10.04 | 08:00 |
| indus | hotfloppy, well its cosmetic so who knows when they will approve it | 08:00 |
| kb-allstar | ooops sry guys | 08:00 |
| Docteh | nsh: read up on iscsi if you have a chance | 08:00 |
| nsh | will do | 08:00 |
| Kamilion | nsh: try gvfs-mount --list to see what it reports it can deal with. | 08:01 |
| zetheroo | chmod -Rv a-x *.rtf How do I get this to work on all subdirectories and not just within the one main directory? | 08:01 |
| hotfloppy | indus: hope they will approve it.. for now, got to do it the hard way.. | 08:01 |
| nsh | noted with thanks | 08:01 |
| hotfloppy | indus: anyways, thanks for your help :) | 08:01 |
| indus | ya sure hope so | 08:01 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: that R isn't doing it? | 08:01 |
| Kamilion | nsh: and I just verified I can mount and unmount via a SSH login even without being logged into gnome on the console. | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | Docteh: no | 08:02 |
| Docteh | odd | 08:02 |
| Docteh | lowercase? | 08:02 |
| nsh | Kamilion, that's nice | 08:02 |
| indus | hotfloppy, have a nice day :) | 08:02 |
| hotfloppy | indus: yeah, you too :) | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | Docteh: I just did that command from within my Documents folder and it only took care of the RTF's within that folder and not in the subdir's | 08:03 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: you might have to fiddle with find and xargs but i just suck at using it | 08:03 |
| Kamilion | nsh: so it seems to only rely on the proper libraries and infrastructure to be there -- not a whole running GUI session. | 08:03 |
| * nsh nods | 08:03 | |
| Kamilion | I get good speeds too -- 60-70MB/sec over GigE between two amd 780G boards, | 08:04 |
| kb-allstar | hi guys, i have a question for you, I use scribus as a replacement for publisher, but now i want to open it somewhere else, but i can't because it is saved as a .sla file. I checked google but i didn't see anything that would change the filetype. any suggestions? | 08:04 |
| eraggo | anyone else noticed that i need root priviledges to connect bluetooth device via rfcomm? | 08:04 |
| zetheroo | in lowercase it gives: chmod: invalid mode: `-rv' | 08:04 |
| Kamilion | kb-allstar: download scribus 'somewhere else' to open the file. | 08:05 |
| Kamilion | There is a working windows version too. | 08:05 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: find -name "*.rtf" | xargs chmod a-x | 08:05 |
| kb-allstar | im using photobucket online | 08:05 |
| Kamilion | You'll have to open it in scribus and export it as an image file then. | 08:05 |
| kb-allstar | and it wont allow me to use .sla filetypes | 08:05 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: that may or may not be right btw ;) | 08:05 |
| zetheroo | Doctech: got a heap of "cannot access" messages | 08:06 |
| Docteh | heh where did you run it from? | 08:06 |
| bonez2046 | why does this command 'tar zcvf .foo/* ~/archive/bar' end up, after several minutes, with this error "tar: Removing leading `/' from member names" and this "/home/scott/archive/" and this finally "tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" with the result that nothing gets tarred? | 08:06 |
| zetheroo | chmod: cannot access `Reply.rtf': No such file or directory | 08:07 |
| disappearedng | Hey everyone when I start ubuntu it says it cannot find some key which requires ecrypt-mount-private. In /home/<mynick> I am seeing HOW YO ACESS YOUR DESKTOP and a README file. What is going on? | 08:07 |
| Kamilion | bonez2046: I don't see a tarfile specified in that. | 08:07 |
| zetheroo | Docteh: running it from withink the Documents folder | 08:07 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: oh is there spaces in some of the filenames? | 08:07 |
| zetheroo | Reply.rtf .... no spaces there | 08:08 |
| Colloguy | is it possible to set a specific environment variable for all sudo-ed commands? | 08:08 |
| Kamilion | bonez2046: You sure you don't mean tar zcvf /home/scott/tarfile.tar .foo/* ~/archive/bar | 08:08 |
| sealive | hi i got a Quest: if the kernel changes now on lucid32bit its image 22 is the downloadebal CD image file then upgreadet to ? | 08:08 |
| bonez2046 | Kamilion: ok, here's the whole command "tar zcvf .VirtualBox/* ~/archive" I am wanting to backup ~/.VirtualBox and it's contents and subfolders, and save it to ~/archive/ | 08:08 |
| nsh | Docteh, the NFS Howto explains thus: The TCP ports 1-1024 are reserved for root's use (and therefore sometimes referred to as "secure ports") A non-root user cannot bind these ports. Adding the secure option to an /etc/exports means that it will only listed to requests coming from ports 1-1024 on the client, so that a malicious non-root user on the client cannot come along and open up a spoofed NFS dialogue on a non-reserved port. This option is set by default. | 08:08 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: check for something like "Swordy Reply.rtf" | 08:08 |
| MauL^ | hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ? | 08:08 |
| Kamilion | bonez2046: Easy enough: tar -cjvf ~/vbox.tar.bz2 ~/.Virtualbox | 08:09 |
| zetheroo | chmod: cannot access `faith_may27.rtf': No such file or directory | 08:09 |
| Kamilion | er wait | 08:09 |
| zetheroo | chmod: cannot access `works_may30.rtf': No such file or directory | 08:09 |
| disappearedng | ok quick question, when I start ubuntu, it didn't mount my system because of some ecrypt thing, then I chmod 755 my /home/ directory, and now when I logs in it appears that my entire /home is gone, is there anything I could do? | 08:09 |
| Kamilion | bonez2046: tar -cpvf ~/archive/vbox.tar ~/.Virtualbox | 08:10 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: yea that command just doesn't work with spaces in file names | 08:10 |
| Kamilion | Better to compress it after the fact with 'pbzip2 -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar' | 08:10 |
| zetheroo | Doctech: where are the spaces? Those are underscores ... | 08:10 |
| zetheroo | Docteh: btw ... whats the xargs for? | 08:10 |
| Kamilion | or 'pigz -9 ~/archive/vbox.tar' | 08:11 |
| bonez2046 | Kamilion: I had the source and destination backwards, didn't I.. and I didn't name the archive.. | 08:11 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: run just the find command and then look at that for filenames with spaces | 08:11 |
| Kamilion | bonez2046: Think about it this way: you can only specify one tarfile, so it goes first. Then you specify *as many file/dirs* as you need after. | 08:12 |
| zetheroo | Docteh: someone from #linux just said to do this ... wdyt? find -name \*.rtf -type f -exec chmod a-x {} + | 08:12 |
| bonez2046 | ok.. thanks a bunch | 08:12 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: don't do that. | 08:12 |
| Docteh | hmmm looks good to me | 08:12 |
| darkangel | whats the command in the terminal to show what hardware we have in the computer, specifically the wireless card | 08:12 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: that will strip execute permissions from ... | 08:12 |
| Kamilion | RTF file? | 08:12 |
| Kamilion | Okay, nevermind, misread that! | 08:13 |
| MauL^ | hi. when I plug a usb harddisk, ubuntu does not recognize it automatically. how can I force it ? | 08:13 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: yes ? No? | 08:13 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: Manual.rtf yea i love that in a file name ;) | 08:13 |
| zetheroo | :) | 08:13 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: fine! | 08:13 |
| eraggo | darkangel: lspci? | 08:13 |
| * Kamilion grumbles and increases his font size | 08:13 | |
| darkangel | awesome thankyou eraggo | 08:13 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: does it matter where I do that command from? | 08:15 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: yeah, it will only search below where you are; if you do it from /home/username/ it will only search /home/username/* | 08:16 |
| milton_ | Hello.. | 08:16 |
| * Docteh steals your stapler | 08:16 | |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: will it search also within the subdirs? | 08:16 |
| Kamilion | imgonnaburnthisplacedown. | 08:17 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: Not sure, don't really know find syntax too well. | 08:17 |
| Docteh | zetheroo: thats why you're using find | 08:17 |
| Kamilion | I don't see a maxdepth in there though, so I think it should. | 08:17 |
| milton_ | Hello. Guys could some body help me.. am having a little problem installing some programs in ubuntu | 08:17 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: why burn this place down | 08:18 |
| kb-allstar | what does EOF stand for in regards to python programming? | 08:18 |
| Docteh | milton_: what programs | 08:18 |
| Docteh | kb-allstar: end of file | 08:18 |
| Kamilion | Docteh: you stole someone's stapler. Office space. | 08:18 |
| kb-allstar | thanks Docteh | 08:18 |
| zetheroo | oh cool ... looks like it worked :) | 08:18 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: lol since milton_ didn't get it i totally forgot | 08:18 |
| Kamilion | Ah well. | 08:19 |
| milton_ | hey people can some body help | 08:19 |
| vega | !ask | milton_ | 08:19 |
| ubottu | milton_: 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. :-) | 08:19 |
| Kamilion | milton_: We will need something a little less vauge than 'problem installing software'. | 08:20 |
| milton_ | Thanks man.. Yes I've installed the a pacman game in ubuntu but it doesn't show up in the games tab | 08:20 |
| Kamilion | Try logging out and logging in once and seeing if it shows up. | 08:21 |
| mojodojo87 | Hello, I figured out why my ATI 4650 was flickering alot, it was due to it being pluged into CRT2 instead of CRT1 port, idk why this made a difference didn't on windows but thought I would let someone know in case someone else has a simular problem. | 08:21 |
| damoxc | does anyone know if there is something wrong with security.ubuntu.com? | 08:21 |
| Kamilion | damoxc: yes, several of us have noticed it's losing packets. | 08:22 |
| damoxc | Kamilion: not just me then :) | 08:22 |
| eraggo | Kamilion: not only us :) | 08:22 |
| Kamilion | damoxc: Not everyone is having issues; I'm fine from home but work's busted. | 08:22 |
| milton_ | Ok I'll try it now I'll come back if it fail.. | 08:22 |
| zetheroo | I get a message in the Ubuntu forums saying: You are browsing a READ only archive of the main support categories pre 4/21/2008. You will not be able to post or reply any threads in this section. .... Why? | 08:22 |
| damoxc | Kamilion: i'm experiencing the issue from work and in our dc at a seperate location | 08:23 |
| Kamilion | eraggo: You have more useful information? | 08:23 |
| eraggo | not useful :/ i misread us as US | 08:23 |
| Kamilion | That is still a useful distinction. I am in california, my work is directly connected to the MAE WEST fiber drop. | 08:23 |
| Kamilion | I'm on comcast and seeing no issue here. | 08:24 |
| sjr_ | Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found. | 08:25 |
| Kamilion | milton: any luck? | 08:25 |
| milton | Wooooooooo You Guys ROCKSSSS | 08:26 |
| milton | I have one more Question.. | 08:26 |
| Kamilion | Shoot. | 08:26 |
| User01 | can i install Linux with the default drivers so it would not conflict when putting the HD on another pc | 08:26 |
| sjr_ | Hey my sound isnt working with ubuntu 10.04, stops after a while. Pulseaudio wont start says module-hal-detect not found. | 08:27 |
| Kamilion | User01: That is the default configuration of all ubuntu installations. | 08:27 |
| sjr_ | Whoops sorry | 08:27 |
| milton | I have downloded some tutorials but I cant find them.. | 08:27 |
| zetheroo | User01: you want to swap a HDD between to systems running different OS's? | 08:27 |
| User01 | kamilion and how could I go about doing that | 08:27 |
| Kamilion | milton: have you checked your Downloads directory in your homedir? | 08:27 |
| milton | where does ubuntu saves those files I installed using the synaptic thing.. | 08:27 |
| Docteh | User01: step one, drag it over to other computer ;) | 08:27 |
| zetheroo | haha | 08:28 |
| jamezek | hey my ubuntu 10.04 wireless internet doesn't work- i have to manually select it upon startup | 08:28 |
| Kamilion | User01: ubuntu is not like microsoft who locks a license to hardware -- just install ubuntu to the hard drive and bring it to the other computer. | 08:28 |
| User01 | zetheroo: I want to install the os on a computer that won't do it itself via cd | 08:28 |
| Docteh | User01: so steal its hd and install onto that | 08:28 |
| User01 | kamilion really?? | 08:28 |
| Kamilion | User01: REALLY. | 08:28 |
| milton | Let me Check.. | 08:28 |
| Kamilion | It's just that easy. | 08:28 |
| jamezek | how do i make my wireless internet automatically connect | 08:28 |
| User01 | so it just works?! | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | yep. | 08:29 |
| zetheroo | User01: you can install Ubuntu to a HDD and then take it and plug it into another machine and boot off of it there ... done that before :) | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | Crazy, huh? | 08:29 |
| User01 | without blue screens lol | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | yep! | 08:29 |
| User01 | wow thanks ppl | 08:29 |
| User01 | seriouslu | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | No hassle, as long as the bios finds the drive. Enjoy! | 08:29 |
| zetheroo | jamezek: caress it :P | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | Drop by again if you need some help setting up a boot menu. | 08:29 |
| User01 | wow thanks I'm happyaron now | 08:29 |
| User01 | happy ;) | 08:29 |
| Kamilion | so you can choose which drive to start from | 08:30 |
| Yosi | any easy way to determine which drive ubuntu installed grub onto.. i think it put in on my windows sata drive!! | 08:30 |
| zetheroo | User01: have fun ;) | 08:30 |
| User01 | I just cant get it to boot from a cd it shuts down | 08:30 |
| jamezek | how come my firefox always hangs on 10.04 | 08:30 |
| User01 | my computer is saved wooot | 08:30 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: think you can check system.map for that. | 08:30 |
| jamezek | i tried doing the ipv6 thing but it doesn't help | 08:30 |
| Kamilion | User01: And try xubuntu if you find the normal one to be too heavy for older PCs. | 08:31 |
| User01 | I still cant believe ut | 08:31 |
| zetheroo | User01: does the system shut off when you try to boot from CD? | 08:31 |
| User01 | yes | 08:31 |
| Yosi | what is system.map? | 08:31 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: You have a problem with your router/dslmodem/cablemodem's DNS resolver. | 08:31 |
| Docteh | Kamilion: i heard xfce wasn't all that cut down | 08:31 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: check /boot/system.map I think | 08:31 |
| User01 | every time gpu overheats buy it runs fine inside linux | 08:31 |
| zetheroo | User01: and when the system is running ... can you use the optical drive just fine? | 08:31 |
| Yosi | thanks | 08:31 |
| User01 | yes it's a pata drive | 08:32 |
| jamezek | kamilion: is there a way to fix it | 08:32 |
| milton | Nothing Kamilton.. I reinstalled the tutorials and even get in the Homedir Downloads but nothing.. | 08:32 |
| User01 | the pc recognizes it | 08:32 |
| jamezek | cos it worked fine with 9.10 before | 08:32 |
| Kamilion | Docteh: it ain't, but it'll run okay on 256MB or below a lot better than gnome. | 08:32 |
| User01 | pata being the pins on my 2.5" lapop hdd | 08:32 |
| zetheroo | User01: I had a similar issue with my system ... my PSU was kicking it | 08:32 |
| User01 | ahh | 08:32 |
| Yosi | kamilion: no such file exists | 08:32 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: Probably. Get a new firmware for your router or ask your ISP to upgrade your modem. | 08:33 |
| zetheroo | User01: oh thsi is a laptop? | 08:33 |
| User01 | zetheroo so you just plug and play? | 08:33 |
| jamezek | ok | 08:33 |
| nuboon2age | i just put in not one but two differnet 2GB USB pen drives, and neither of them automount in Lucid. Any ideas what to do? | 08:33 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: the problem usually occurs in older network gear that improperly DROPS valid DNS queries. | 08:33 |
| zetheroo | User01: plug and play what? | 08:33 |
| llutz | Yosi: /boot/system.map-$(uname -r) is the kernel symbol table | 08:33 |
| jamezek | right | 08:33 |
| User01 | yes it's an hp dv 8000 17" nice lappy | 08:33 |
| milton | Hey Kamilton I was thinking that this might have to do with something in the CONSOLE prompt thing.. What you think | 08:34 |
| User01 | zetheroo: the freshly installed linux os from my other pc to my broken laptop | 08:34 |
| jamezek | is there another way to do it without replacing my modem like with some tweaking | 08:34 |
| zetheroo | User01: ahh I see ... and the system turns off when you try to boot from a CD ... and yet when the system is running you can use the CDrom just fine | 08:34 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: The other option is to rely on your local computer to do the lookups and skip your ISP entirely, by setting your DNS at 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4 for google's public DNS or using pdns-recursor | 08:34 |
| User01 | zetgeroo yes | 08:35 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: apt-get install pdns-recursor, set nameserver to 127.0.0.1 | 08:35 |
| jamezek | let me try | 08:35 |
| User01 | everything works fine except for when trying to install os | 08:35 |
| zetheroo | User01: no warranty on the laptop I am guessing? | 08:35 |
| User01 | bope | 08:35 |
| User01 | nope | 08:35 |
| dubey | hello | 08:35 |
| dubey | i am using ubuntu 10.04 and want to download driver for hp M1213nf MSP printer | 08:35 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: Personally, I just use google's DNS at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 08:35 |
| milton | Hey Kamilion , could I solve this thing using the console utility program | 08:35 |
| Bodman456 | hi guys | 08:35 |
| Yosi | llutz: I get an no such file or directory error | 08:35 |
| zetheroo | User01: sucks ... HP laptops for you ... disposables ... | 08:35 |
| User01 | it's close to dead zetherroo I mean realslix close | 08:36 |
| Kamilion | milton: try the File Search. Otherwise, you might have asked firefox to open the file, which would have stored it in /tmp and deleted it after a reboot. | 08:36 |
| dubey | what is the url to download linux printer drivers | 08:36 |
| zetheroo | User01: how do you know it overheats ... ? ... I mean besides the fact that's it's a HP ... | 08:36 |
| User01 | real close* but does what you said still apply can I still boot linux without having o install it on the exact same pc | 08:37 |
| User01 | linux- told me zetheroo | 08:37 |
| milton | Ok I'll try that | 08:37 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: windows nvidia drivers complain about overheating; I've seen it. | 08:37 |
| User01 | 94c limit reached shutting down | 08:37 |
| zetheroo | User01: so you have linux on it? | 08:37 |
| User01 | had | 08:37 |
| Kamilion | User01: Get a can of compressed air and get all the crud out of it's fans. | 08:37 |
| User01 | did | 08:37 |
| sjr_ | pulseaudio wont start, ideas? | 08:38 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: yeah ... tell me about it ... I have had dozens of them through my workshop ... overheating HP's that is | 08:38 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: 9 out of 10 where Nvidia chipsets | 08:38 |
| Kamilion | Then the fans need replacement; prefereably with a better quality unit with decent bearings. | 08:38 |
| Bodman456 | Kamilion: Compressed air is good, but be careful where you point the nozzle | 08:38 |
| User01 | I just like to know if I can swap the hdd after installing linux on it with another pc and have it work | 08:38 |
| Kamilion | I get a lot of dells and HPs with stuck fans. | 08:38 |
| zetheroo | User01: yes | 08:38 |
| User01 | woooooooohoooopp | 08:39 |
| zetheroo | User01: it will work ... | 08:39 |
| Kamilion | User01: Yes, ubuntu does hardware detection on every boot. | 08:39 |
| User01 | thank you | 08:39 |
| User01 | really?? whaoo | 08:39 |
| zetheroo | User01: but that will not solve your overheating issues ... | 08:39 |
| User01 | saweeet screw windows heh | 08:39 |
| regint | is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network? | 08:39 |
| User01 | zethetoo no but it will saw me from parting out my laptop ;) | 08:39 |
| User01 | save * | 08:40 |
| jamezek | i just did apt-get install pdns-recursor - how do i load it to change the nameserver | 08:40 |
| User01 | and crying | 08:40 |
| zetheroo | User01: you can try manually controlling the fan speed if it's not spinning fast enouigh | 08:40 |
| Kamilion | If the fan is spinning slowly, User01, you should try to find a replacement cooler. And make sure you use good thermal compound like Artic Silver 5 or something | 08:40 |
| llutz | Yosi: strange, the file should come with the kernel-package | 08:41 |
| User01 | zetheroo yes next boot I shall for sure | 08:41 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 08:41 |
| Kamilion | jamezek: You using normal ubuntu with gnome and network-manager? Then just edit your auto eth0 and set your DNS to 127.0.0.1 or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf directly. | 08:41 |
| User01 | kamilion: excellent idea except it's extremely hard to dismantlee a dv8000 | 08:41 |
| zetheroo | User01: I run the temperature sensors in my panel which monitor temps and fan speeds ... very handy | 08:41 |
| Kamilion | HAHAHAH yes! It IS! I HATE the DV series for that. | 08:41 |
| Yosi | Can it h grub on both D'surt installin | 08:42 |
| Kamilion | those cases are such PITAs. | 08:42 |
| Jordan_U | Yosi: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ | 08:42 |
| User01 | kamilion that is absolutely the last resort and I end up chucking it at a wall eventually heh | 08:42 |
| Yosi | sudo grub-instal /dev/sdb | 08:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Kamilion: network manager will recreate resolv.conf at startup so the dns needs adding in the nm config? | 08:42 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: yeah, I was just going to say ... he will have to dis-assemble the darn thang ... :) | 08:42 |
| === ansgar is now known as Guest64715 | ||
| User01 | zetheroo yup I did that aswell at least fir CPU th gpu didn't take | 08:42 |
| Kamilion | zetheroo: Hey, a $35 cooler on ebay's a lot cheaper than a $599 laptop replacement. | 08:42 |
| User01 | kamilion very true mate | 08:43 |
| dubey | how to get latest hplip ? | 08:43 |
| Kamilion | the problem is, you have to get just the right MXM cooler for the right card | 08:43 |
| Kamilion | you're usually better off replacing the MXM card entirely sometimes, they're that model-specific. | 08:43 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: oh certainly ... if one can take it all apart and put it all together it's a bargain :) | 08:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Dubey: go to the hplip site. Grab the script. Mark it as executable and run it as user (not sudo) | 08:43 |
| User01 | like mine I'd have to get the mobo aswell | 08:44 |
| zetheroo | User01: what are the system specs .... ? | 08:44 |
| dubey | ActionParsnip: can u pls. give the url ? | 08:44 |
| Yosi | Jordan: I ran the script but nothing happened? | 08:44 |
| User01 | kamilion: listen to this I just paid some douchebag college I'd to fix it claiming he knows about both Linux and windows | 08:44 |
| zetheroo | User01: might be worth it to just get what life you can outta it and work on saving for a new system ... and maybe not another HP ... heh | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Dubey: unfortunately not. Webbrowsing is dog slow on my phone | 08:45 |
| Kamilion | It's not a matter of can, it's a matter of will/won't. I watched my ten year old niece build a beautiful amd desktop rig and install ubuntu on it, in less than an hour, with no help from me other than pointing out the little paper motherboard washers. | 08:45 |
| ActionParsnip | Dubey: websearches will find it, no problem | 08:45 |
| dubey | np | 08:45 |
| User01 | zetheroo an amd 2.0 runs wonders on ubuntu` with 1.0 gb ram Ari 200 express handles compiz well too | 08:45 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion: hehe ... de ja vu ... I recall you telling me that before :) | 08:45 |
| Kamilion | She could barely understand windows; and yet with nothing more than a phillips screwdriver and the instructions "everything only goes together one way, it's all logical, just take your time". | 08:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, nice if that is true, what are the specs? | 08:46 |
| === JimmyJ is now known as JimmyJ|zz | ||
| dubey | ok, thanks | 08:46 |
| User01 | I should ask the college kid for a discount considering g he told me there was nothing he could do and still chargesbme full pics | 08:46 |
| Kamilion | Basic AM2 IGP rig in a toolless desktop case. Single harddrive, single optical, all SATA, no cards. | 08:46 |
| User01 | price | 08:46 |
| zetheroo | Kamilion; yes, I have seen some people do really well ... and then I have seen utter disasters ... mostly the latter .... so it's to each his/her own ay ... | 08:47 |
| === adrian_ is now known as yata | ||
| yata | can some one help | 08:47 |
| Kamilion | I chose the parts; gigabyte 780G microatx board, cheap toolless case from newegg, came out to something like $450; and boy were her parents proud. Never seen my brother grin so wide. | 08:48 |
| zetheroo | User01: I would not spend too much time or money on that machine ... unless you have plenty of either/each :) | 08:48 |
| ojii | hi everyone | 08:48 |
| User01 | I'm gonna tell him to install ubunru i'm real glad I didn't pick up the laptop tonight I'll run this info by him very suprising it will most likely work | 08:48 |
| wise_crypt | it works | 08:48 |
| Kamilion | Got 'em a CPU cooler with a decent thermal pad on it so she didn't have to smear goop. | 08:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, nice very nice I guess its possible if I can make the lil ones like ubuntu by removing any other OS choices I guess this is possible and they are dam happy about it :) | 08:48 |
| ojii | i have grub installed on my notebook but i never see the grub screen, now i have to enter it to boot a different kernel (newest gives me kernel panic) but i have no clue how to open GRUB, can someone help please? | 08:49 |
| User01 | zetgeroo especially since he ild me crapi already k new | 08:49 |
| User01 | told* | 08:49 |
| Kamilion | Pirate_Hunter: Eh, I just kill the top panel and set the bottom panel to resemble windows 7 and most of my users can barely tell the difference with crossover office and wine. | 08:49 |
| Gryllida | hey, I've got .tar.gz file and instructions say 'extract to your home folder and run a certain file'.. would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager? | 08:49 |
| zetheroo | User01: yeah ... good luck ;) | 08:50 |
| User01 | if it autodetecs hardware on boot boy am in in debt | 08:50 |
| User01 | thanks | 08:50 |
| Yosi | JORDAN: the script did the trick... it says no botloader on sdb only on sda (windows drive)... can i move it over? or should i install a second copy? | 08:50 |
| Kamilion | User01: Also -- ask him if he has a USB CDROM DRIVE | 08:50 |
| zetheroo | User01: it does and it will | 08:50 |
| Galerien | And with KDE, most of them can use it as a windows (xp + 7)/2 | 08:50 |
| Kamilion | you could just use that to install with. | 08:50 |
| User01 | thanks guys I almost gave up | 08:50 |
| zetheroo | heck you could install from a USB flash disk ... heh | 08:50 |
| User01 | kamilion he just in it for the money I'm thinking | 08:50 |
| Yosi | sdb is my raid array, rather have it on their than my windows drive | 08:50 |
| wildbat_laptop | is there a macro/scripting tools for ubuntu like Autoit in windows, that do mouse simulation or Window message? | 08:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, that could work if your users arent using apps like dreamweaver, expression web, CS* etc and your bothered to move the libraries over | 08:51 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: Install a second copy, disable the drive by yanking the SATA cable, and then ask windows to 'fixmbr' then 'fixboot' from a vista or 7 install disk. Hit Shift-f10 to get a commandprompt after you pick the language but before you hit Install Now. | 08:51 |
| DaveQB | Is security.ubuntu.com having issues? | 08:51 |
| User01 | it will detect I'll tell him to pay more attention in school | 08:51 |
| Kamilion | Pirate_Hunter: They are. CS3. | 08:51 |
| Kamilion | DaveQB: yes, it is. | 08:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, that works well with wine? I am very surprised... | 08:52 |
| DaveQB | Cool. Was worried it was just me. Thanks Kamilion | 08:52 |
| Yosi | Kamilion: if i install a second copy using grub-install /dev sdb, why do i have to fix the mbr on the windows drive can't i just leave grub their inactive? | 08:52 |
| Kamilion | Pirate_Hunter: Nope -- crossover office for CS3. | 08:53 |
| User01 | he's '4th year' anyway I'm curious to test this out before he gets my money I'd like somehing for it in return, thank you zetgeroo and kamilion you saved my sanity | 08:53 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: Guess ya don't! | 08:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, Ahhh should've guess haven't used those in a long time why not just vm the window apps for all your users? | 08:53 |
| ojii | what's the key to get the grub (2?) screen on boot? | 08:54 |
| rww | ojii: hold down shift, if I remember correctly | 08:54 |
| Kamilion | Pirate_Hunter: They complain about network performance of remote desktop solutions. | 08:54 |
| zetheroo | User01: no worries mate .. | 08:54 |
| Yosi | Kamilion: by installin the new grub, will ubuntu know to update that grab whenever i upfdate the system or will it look for the old one? also will it have my windows boot option there? | 08:54 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: Nope! It | 08:55 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: Nope! It'll only update one. First one it finds, usually the mbr on sda. | 08:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, ah guess you can't make everyone happy I just tend to remove the option to make choices (that is when I can get away with it) either use it or don't simple as that | 08:55 |
| Gryllida | hey, I've got .tar.gz file and would it be something wrong if I just double click it and open with package manager? | 08:55 |
| oobie | anyone good at configuring synergy? | 08:56 |
| Kamilion | Pirate_Hunter: The other part is, I'm free to give them the finger and laugh in their face as well. | 08:56 |
| zetheroo | Gryllida:needs to be extracted first | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades | 08:56 |
| zetheroo | oobie: heh ... just did that yesterday | 08:56 |
| Jordan_U | Yosi: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades | 08:56 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: <Jordan_U> Kamilion: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" to change the setting for which devices are installed to on grub upgrades | 08:56 |
| Yosi | Kamilion: is there any harm in having the grub on the windows drive instead of sdb (my raid array), if the sda ever dies, i can always boot from a live CD and install grub then... no data loss write, just a bootloader...? | 08:57 |
| Kamilion | *scribbles that in google notebook* | 08:57 |
| Gryllida | zetheroo: extracted. then what? | 08:57 |
| oobie | zetheroo: through quicksynergy w/ ubuntu host? | 08:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Kamilion, that could work I actually laughed how many times i've thought about doing the same, oh you just made my morning thanks | 08:57 |
| zetheroo | Gryllida: depends what it is really ... | 08:57 |
| Smeh | anyone able to provide assistance with getting the cisco vpn client running on ubuntu 10.04? Currently it won't compile for me, patched or unpatched, CFLAGS changed or not.. | 08:57 |
| zetheroo | oobie: two Ubuntu systems ... Karmic and Lucid ... yep | 08:57 |
| zetheroo | oobie: have you looked up the Ubuntu documentation on it? | 08:58 |
| Kamilion | Yosi: Pretty much, but I've actually booted grub2 from a cd and manually launched kernel+initrds without a problem in situations like that. | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | Yosi: That command will also ask about other settings, just keep them at their defaults (some will be blank, that is normal) | 08:58 |
| Yosi | jordan and kamilion - thanks... | 08:58 |
| Gryllida | zetheroo: what should I look in it for? | 08:58 |
| Kamilion | Smeh: no option to run the Anyconnect VPN client? | 08:58 |
| iWolf | baiiiii! | 08:58 |
| zetheroo | Gryllida: what are you installing? | 08:58 |
| oobie | zetheroo: yea the problem is i have a dual monitor and a laptop client | 08:58 |
| Smeh | it's to a Cisco ASA host, so I don't think so? or does Anyconnect support connecting to cisco ASAs? | 08:58 |
| Kamilion | I use anyconnect to hit our ASA. | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: Manually? That's what Super GRUB2 Disk is for :) | 08:59 |
| Smeh | well. In that case i'll look into Anyconnect, thanks. | 08:59 |
| zetheroo | oobie: well I am not working with dual monitors here ... just a laptop and desktop with one monitor | 08:59 |
| dde | does anyone here happen to know what that free massively multiplayer arcade style space ship shooter game is where you can choose a ship and takes sides? I think its a FOSS game. | 08:59 |
| ojii | rww, didn't work, was holding down shift but it still gave me kernel panic and not a boot menu | 08:59 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: Noooooooope. I doubt it'd be able to find which partition, kernel, and initrd in the mess of EFI partitions on my work boxes ;) | 08:59 |
| zetheroo | oobie: so you have already been here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynergyHowto | 08:59 |
| Yosi | Here is a tuffer question: I'm running the 64bit server copy of 10.04 and every few reboots i get a fschl that halts... any idea why? when i google the error its seems common on 10.04 64bit | 09:00 |
| zetheroo | oobie: all I had to do was the Quickstart Guide section and it was working | 09:00 |
| Kamilion | dde: Subspace Continuum? | 09:00 |
| oobie | zetheroo: yea i have experience with dual monitors on win7 host but i'm not sure how the config file goes | 09:00 |
| dde | Kamilion, that sounds like that's the one. Let me check... | 09:00 |
| Jordan_U | Kamilion: It won't detect kernels if you have a separate /boot, but it will detect grub.cfg files and let you use that :) | 09:01 |
| Kamilion | Jordan_U: Oooh, now that's handy. Usually I have grub4dos set up to do that. | 09:01 |
| zetheroo | oobie: sorry I don't mess with dual screens in Linux ... I have found it's just too much hassle than it's worth ... but glad you have it working ... | 09:01 |
| regint | Hi, Is there a client for ubuntu for Juniper IPsec network? | 09:01 |
| Kamilion | yes, the ipsec client. | 09:01 |
| oobie | zetheroo: thanks i'll keep digging | 09:02 |
| dde | Kamilion, that was it. looks like its for winblows though :( | 09:02 |
| zetheroo | oobie: good luck ... let us know what you come up with ;) | 09:02 |
| Kamilion | dde: there's a linux continuum client out there | 09:02 |
| Gryllida | zetheroo: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+and+Configuring+Spark and I don't want to just extract and run it from home dir, I'd rather give the .tar.gz to package manager | 09:03 |
| Kamilion | dde: I had it working at some point when I used to play continuum. | 09:03 |

| DaveQB | misterinteger: or sudo grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 09:53 |

| dok- | how is it possible to start the ubuntu netbook version in failsafe mode or any mode so i can reach the terminal and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 10:44 |
| dok- | now it just starts with alot of flattering and ctrl+alt+fx dont get me to the terminal and ctrl+alt+backspace does not kill xorg | 10:45 |
| maxxer | hi.is there any specific kernel for ATOM processors? I am using 9.10, and the pc is quite slow, even if the atom is a quad core! | 10:46 |
| Galerien | dok-: I don't know about the ubuntu netbook version... but you can boot on your live cd (if you have any) or you usb stick, that way you will be able to edit easily your .conf... | 10:46 |
| ikonia | maxxer: is it visually slow, or slow at processing ? | 10:46 |
| maxxer | ikonia, slow expecially with javascript... | 10:47 |
| maxxer | i have a JS app pretty huge | 10:47 |
| maxxer | and on that PC is slow like hell | 10:47 |
| ikonia | maxxer: ok so keep in mind there are two things here, visually slow, and slow processing, visually slow is the most common issue and tht's normally caused by graphics cards being configured incorrectly | 10:47 |
| pogay1 | I try to get running a tiny digitus IPP print server. The manual says http:/ip-nr:631/lpr1 as device URI (examle for Windows). the Samslung CLP300 works locally via USB, but when calling over the print server, the printer blinks only, and doesn't print. Any idea? | 10:48 |
| maxxer | ikonia, thanks, but I believe it's not a "visually" slow problem | 10:48 |
| ikonia | maxxer: have you verified this ? | 10:48 |
| ikonia | maxxer: just being cautious before you rush down the wrong path | 10:48 |
| Galerien | maxxer: did you try google chrome, I heard that it's very fast for js rendering....? | 10:49 |
| BiggFREE | Hi | 10:49 |
| maxxer | ikonia, how can i test, just to be sure? I have my believe, but could be wrong as you say | 10:49 |
| maxxer | Galerien, chrome is much faster! but i cannot use it because printing totally sucks | 10:49 |
| dok- | Galerien: Thanks, I tryed that byt then the usb stick did now want to boot so im recreating the usb-install and try again | 10:49 |

| elzalem | sorry for the large text: anyone has this problem when running an X application as root; 1st it takes more time to load, 2nd it shows another "tab" in the bottom panel for 10 seconds saying "Starting Administrative rights" or "launching app..." and in the meanwhile u dont have the normal cursor, u have the busy mouse cursor ?? | 10:50 |
| ikonia | maxxer: a fair question, look at running a few "busy" commands in the termal, as the terminal doesn't require any display processing, also run "top" in another window and see how your cpu/memory resources differ and for what periods of time | 10:50 |
| Galerien | dok-: You should be able to chose "use ubuntu without making change to the computer", or something like that...? | 10:50 |
| iamtoinez | hello is it possible that anyone helps with kvm | 10:51 |
| Galerien | maxxer: If you say so :D, I don't know about chrome "printing" | 10:51 |
| iamtoinez | kvm is running and guests are installed | 10:51 |
| maxxer | Galerien, yes, i.e. you cannot print a single page, just the whole document. on linux, at least. and this is not applicable in my situation, sadly. otherwise could solve most of my speed problems | 10:51 |

| maxxer | ikonia, what's the purpose of that check? | 10:53 |
| data | anyone able to help?i updated from karmic to lucid and now ubuntu doesn't start anymore. I tried both grub 1 and 2, as well as older kernels. In recovery mode, it stops after "/dev/sda2 clean". This is preceded by an error "ioctl: unable to remove open device temporary-cryptsetup-366" | 10:53 |
| ikonia | maxxer: it will show if your machine is responding ok under the hood, of if your machine is suffering visually | 10:54 |
| Galerien | maxxer: have you tried to find some plugin? that's a long shot but it might help you as a temporary solution... | 10:56 |
| maxxer | ikonia, to check if it works under the hood... I should perform some specific test, isn't it?something that would say "to make X, it takes Y, and it's good/bad", isn't it? | 10:56 |
| ikonia | maxxer: that's not a bad idea, there are plenty of "hello world" type programs on the internet, build one of them | 10:56 |

| MrChris | Install WINE then run iTunes | 11:03 |
| CSiD | think I want to crash and use proprietary stuff on my system when I know its possible with rhythmbox faster and lighter | 11:03 |
| erUSUL | kriss3d: if it is a permissions problem (becouse you used sudo with a graphical program) just boot into recovery mode and run « chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser/.ICEauthority » then reboot | 11:03 |
| MrChris | using other software to load firmware onto your ipod can void its warranty. | 11:04 |
| BlackDalek | why does evolution mail client always hang when downloading new messages? The "send & receive Mail" box sits there for ages after mail has finished downloading. | 11:04 |

| erUSUL | CSiD: ubottu is an infobot | 11:05 |
| CSiD | oh right sorry | 11:06 |
| CSiD | but anyone know how I can view the ipod fro mrhythmbox? | 11:06 |

| ikonia | maxxer: see how they perform | 11:21 |
| BlackDalek | I know the mail is downloaded in just a few seconds because the "Send & Receive" window says "completed" and the progress bars are at 100% full and I can see and read the downloaded email on screen behind the "Send & Receive" window. Is this a normal feature of Evolution mail? Does it do this for everyone or is my installation wonky? | 11:21 |

| ro8inmorgan | marcus if your modem has some command line software yes | 11:32 |
| mechdave | marcus, should be... what kind of modem is it? | 11:32 |

| marcus | It's a 3G modem (Huwei e1730) that is showing up in networkmanager applet. | 11:33 |
| ro8inmorgan | marcus you can only write control scripts for stuff that can be controlled from the command line | 11:34 |

| eirikb | Is it possible to use ubuntu one for storing configuration, so I don't have to setup each computer? (mostly for shortcuts, compiz settings, ssh keys, firefox/chrome stored passwords etc) | 11:40 |
| ro8inmorgan | marcus well if your modem came with linux drivers it should tell you also what command lines... | 11:41 |
| eirikb | Shai234: Livecd? | 11:41 |
| marcus | ro8inmorgan, forget it, thanks for your time. | 11:41 |

| Alexander1 | hello | 11:42 |
| mechdave | Shai234, then use df -h to find which partition has no free space left | 11:42 |
| ash__ | I have a problem with audio, using 10.04 32-bit.. the audio for everything is very muffled | 11:42 |
| mechdave | Shai234, eg df -h /home | 11:43 |
| wise_crypt | ro8inmorgan: you can analyze in what duration your 3g modem disconect and reconect it again using cron at that specisic time | 11:43 |
| ro8inmorgan | i dont have a 3g modem | 11:44 |
| ash__ | where do i begin to find out why? I've never had this problem before | 11:44 |
| wise_crypt | ro8inmorgan: and run another cron job after that for chrome | 11:44 |
| wise_crypt | ro8inmorgan: that simple | 11:44 |
| Shai234 | mechdave: great now i have shell access :) the problem before few days i had alot more than 6gb free space , and showhow now there is no space left , how can i find out which files stolen my space ? | 11:44 |
| wise_crypt | ro8inmorgan: you ought to let me know from the first place lol my bad | 11:45 |

| azlon | ZachK_, thanks, i already installed Samba but ill read the page really quick... | 11:48 |
| mechdave | Shai234, my guess is it will be in your home directory, use du -h /home > file_size_list.txt to find the file size of each file and redirect it to file | 11:48 |
| mechdave | Shai234, then use grep to search the filenames larger than say 500M | 11:50 |

| User01 | so I want to install linux on a desktop and run it on my lappy anyone know if it will auto detect my laptop hardware | 12:06 |

| entr0py | Is someone here familiar with upstart? | 12:06 |
| jrib | entr0py: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) | 12:06 |
| Lazesharp | jrib: not sure we had it before the upgrade, so it could be entirely normal | 12:07 |
| jrib | Lazesharp: do you have ubuntu-standard installed? | 12:07 |
| Lazesharp | but we did have some problems with the upgrade, after the reboot it took a while for the server to respond | 12:07 |
| Lazesharp | we may not | 12:07 |

| jrib | Lazesharp: why remove that? | 12:08 |
| Lazesharp | jrib: that never got removed | 12:08 |
| Lazesharp | I saw which packages it removed, and they were nothing consequential :\ | 12:08 |
| ikonia | alabd: it means a cloud server running on the ubuntu server platform | 12:08 |
| bluesman | amokpaule: open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;) | 12:08 |
| rabidweezle | don't do it, it is a trap | 12:09 |
| alabd | ikonia: so cloud server can be only on ubuntu server ? | 12:09 |
| jrib | Lazesharp: presumably, this package is included by default on servers | 12:09 |
| rabidweezle | wrong window *facepalm* | 12:09 |
| jrib | Lazesharp: I'm not sure about that though | 12:09 |
| ikonia | alabd: NO | 12:09 |
| ikonia | alabd: the ubuntu cloud servers are run on server edition, that doesn't mean it only works on server edition | 12:10 |

| User01 | soo can someone confirm if that is possible | 12:10 |
| Lazesharp | jrib: ubuntu-minimal isn't installed either, will I need that? | 12:10 |
| tyrus | now i have a very annoying issue on 10.04 | 12:10 |
| tyrus | apparently i cant close the gnome file browser | 12:10 |
| rumpsy | tyrus: what is your issue | 12:10 |
| Gryllida | siddhion: no idea why rumpsy thinks that I can help with issues that are not firefox isssues but look more like networking ones.. I'd reboot modem, and reboot router, then try from another machine at same internet access point. | 12:10 |
| tyrus | everytime I do i get this pop up that says "Cannot fine /media/A126asd" | 12:11 |
| wildbat_laptop | User01, it should works | 12:11 |
| tyrus | yet under /etc/fstab no such device exists | 12:11 |
| tyrus | :( | 12:11 |
| bluesman | rabidweezle: U mean me? | 12:11 |
| rumpsy | Gryllida: Sorry i he mentioned me that ff bought the problem | 12:11 |
| jrib | Lazesharp: apparently ubuntu-standard isn't installed by default, so maybe locate isn't either. And I'm willing to bet add-apt-repository definitely isn't. So everything seems normal. If you want to check about the status of those packages on a fresh server install, you could verify this. If those are the only things missing, I would just install them now if you want them. If you want what | 12:11 |
| jrib | ubuntu-minimal and ubuntu-standard say they do, then sure, install them | 12:12 |
| Gryllida | rumpsy: this is both Fx and GChrome issue. | 12:12 |
| siddhion | gryllida: rumpsy only saw Firefox in my initial problem. I have another computer here that is connected to the same router and it runs perfect. | 12:12 |
| tyrus | so rumpsy, any idea why this is happening? | 12:12 |
| shay27 | Hello , its seems my drive has no space left , my partition is 60gb when i checked my /home/user folder it turn out to be : 12gb , where did all my free space go ? i found in some website that someone said that should check the log folder by typing : sudo du -h /var , i did that and i got 44gb (this taking my space) what i should do ? which files i am allowed to erase ? | 12:12 |
| Gryllida | siddhion: aww, maybe router/modem cache, reboot them, but I'm VERY BAD at networking | 12:12 |
| rumpsy | tyrus: maybe bad video driver | 12:12 |
| Lazesharp | jrib: ok, cool - don't suppose you know which package provides add-apt-repository? | 12:12 |
| tyrus | really? | 12:12 |
| rabidweezle | bluesman, no | 12:12 |
| User01 | wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot | 12:12 |
| rumpsy | tyrus: disable compiz effects and give a try | 12:12 |
| tyrus | well thats interesting because here is another issue | 12:12 |

| Gryllida | <User01>wildbat_laptop: okay so linux really can auto detect hardware on boot <-- I think true | 12:13 |
| Lazesharp | jrib: intuitive ;) | 12:13 |
| User01 | even if it's different than what the os was installed on (unlike windows) | 12:13 |
| Gryllida | siddhion: ok | 12:13 |
| tyrus | i get windows without borders and its just annoying | 12:13 |
| vega | shay27: put output of this into pastebin.com: cd /var ; du -s --si * | 12:13 |
| rumpsy | Gryllida: siddhion understood now, he got your point | 12:13 |
| User01 | gryllida: how long have you been using | 12:14 |
| tyrus | isnt there a way to fix this without disabling compiz? | 12:14 |
| rumpsy | tyrus: if you are using compiz, try this command in terminal, "compiz --replace metacity" | 12:14 |

| CSiD | why not create an image thats jsut the colour and use it? can be doen fro mgimp usign fill tool | 12:23 |
| trez__ | hello, there are some files which use 2.6 gb on my home that I can't delete (even if I am using a live cd). These files are in the folder .Trash-0/files/lost+found/. Their permission and their user are weird, it is numbers like "-314399448". How to delete them? | 12:23 |
| ntr0py | ikonia: but they are not loaded before gdm trieds to display the login prompt causing the nvidia drivers to not load... | 12:23 |
| bluesman | Gryllida: oh yes, but it is ending... after 10 minutes it closesed by himself in 10.04 | 12:23 |
| amokpaule | is there no option to just trun off the background image? | 12:24 |
| jrib | amokpaule: what background image? | 12:24 |
| ikonia | ntr0py: they should be one of the first things to happen in a boot sequence | 12:24 |
| amokpaule | the desktop background | 12:24 |
| Gryllida | bluesman: Applications > Software Center , remove it and install again. | 12:24 |
| jrib | amokpaule: there probably isn't one in the gui. You probably have to create a solid colored background to do that | 12:25 |
| bluesman | Gryllida: no, some other users have same Problem. Reinstall is no wax to fix it an /var/log/*** no reason | 12:25 |
| azlon | i want to connect 2 machines together to take advantage of their gigabit NICs since my switch is only 10/100. if i make a crossover cable and plug it in to each machine, will they just recognize each other and i can start transferring files? | 12:26 |
| amokpaule | so what CSid suggested to create a image myself with the colour i want? | 12:26 |
| CSiD | yes | 12:26 |
| CSiD | just use gimp and fill the entire page with the colour using the "fill-tool" | 12:26 |
| wildbat_laptop | azlon, you need to setup a manual ip connection | 12:26 |
| Gryllida | bluesman: either reinstall, or it should work fine with new user on the OS | 12:27 |
| amokpaule | ok ty, but i think i got what i wanted. | 12:27 |
| bluesman | ok, no help here .... thanks for listening | 12:27 |
| azlon | wildbat_laptop, ok, so give each machine a static IP, then i can start transferring files? | 12:27 |
| Lazydude | does anyone know why my wireless internet is capped at 11mbs | 12:27 |
| linduxed | i need to install unison on my laptop, but i specifically need the 2.27.57-1 version | 12:27 |
| bluesman | amokpaule: is running? | 12:27 |
| wildbat_laptop | azlon, kinda ~ with ssh or ftp or nfs etc... | 12:27 |
| Lazydude | i have a usb AWLL3028, it should do 54mbs | 12:28 |
| azlon | wildbat_laptop, awesome, thanks | 12:28 |
| ntr0py | ikonia: i always end up in low graphics mode bacause nvidia drivers do not load properly before gdm tries to display the login prompt (there is some flickering and then i get the low graphics mode message) sometimes (very rare) it succeeds to display the login (e.g. when fsck delays gdm) and it always succeeds after restarting gdm. I suspect there to be a race between nvidia and gdm in upstart... | 12:28 |
| * azlon gets his crimpers | 12:28 | |
| Dr_Willis | azlon: from what ive heard with a GB <->GB connectiopn you dont need a crossover cable - Gb networking is 'supposed' to auto-detect and crossover as needed | 12:28 |
| amokpaule | bluesman, yes there is abackground in one colour and over solid colur i chaged it to the colour i wanted | 12:28 |
| linduxed | the one in lucid is too new | 12:28 |
| CSiD | btw, if you want I know a forum thats pretty new, and the owner says he will leave me in charge in a few days, I can make any Ubuntu sections you want on it http://forum.xtremehacking.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=32 just want to contribute, like you could have a "solved problems" section so helping one person is helping a hundred? | 12:28 |
| jrib | linduxed: why? | 12:28 |
| amokpaule | bluesman, if its that what you wanted to know :) | 12:29 |
| linduxed | jrib: because unison is built in a way that each release is incompatible with any other release (or so it seems) so i need to install the lowest common release for all my computers | 12:29 |
| linduxed | jrib: one of them is a lenny box | 12:29 |
| bluesman | jrib: about amokpaule: open gconf-editor with tree "apps" in Metacity and change value under general to ":minimize,maximaze,close" ... the ":" isz U want ;) | 12:30 |
| linduxed | jrib: so you have to jump a long way back to have it align | 12:30 |
| jrib | linduxed: I ask because that number after the - is specific to debian/ubuntu packaging. So the version is 2.27.57. However the package does have 3 patches. You should see if those matter. (They probably fix things, so it makes more sense to add them to your other unison) | 12:31 |
| amokpaule | bluesman, i did it over the terminal but it works so yes :) | 12:31 |

| mek8630 | martianixor: the only QUICK solution I can think of is to get one of those cooling pads they make for laptops with the extra fans in them. | 13:15 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes she had to buy a new screen | 13:16 |
| martianixor | mek8630: yeah I thought of that already, the problem is that it's not fixed yet | 13:16 |
| pythonic | Barridus: the "restricted" repo that has libdvdcss also has adobe flash installer, yes? | 13:16 |

| Roland | hi. I'm trying to create a live USB disk for ubuntu. which partition types are supported? FAT32 seems to work, NTFS doesn't, what else works? | 13:16 |
| martianixor | mek8630: the problem seems to exist in the screen inverter | 13:16 |
| ykaya | exit | 13:16 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: I was just trying to think of easy solutions that would save you from having to buy a new screen | 13:16 |
| martianixor | mek8630: due to a very stupid heatsink design | 13:16 |
| pythonic | Barridus: medibuntu includes acrobat reader | 13:17 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I think I should get rid of it | 13:17 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes even if you buy a new screen it will either only be a temporary fix or not stop completely the only other option is to send it into HP unless you know someone with spare parts | 13:17 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes I think so too, you will always have problems with it | 13:18 |
| pythonic | is there some easy way to exclude Non-Free software like acrobat reader, but include Free but restricted (by patent/dmca) software like libdvdcss? | 13:18 |
| northern_deer | i've got problems with package named "fglrx", i can't delete or reinstall it. that's what it's said: http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=13 | 13:18 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: at least you will know not to make the same mistake haha | 13:18 |
| martianixor | mek8630: even if I sent it to HP care, it's a temporary fix, they'd replace the inverter same problem exists I think | 13:18 |
| martianixor | mek8630: yeah no one learns for free | 13:19 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: they may have come up with a solution by now | 13:19 |
| === dmart is now known as Guest59551 | ||
| Barridus | pythonic: from the how-to on medibuntu "If you were using acroread from medibuntu before Jaunty was released, you can uninstall it as medibuntu no longer provides acroread. Instead you can get acroread by enabled the Canonical partner repository under System->Administration->Software Sources->Third Party Software. " | 13:19 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: since your not the only one I am sure that has had this problem they may have redesigned the parts to work better | 13:19 |
| martianixor | mek8630: yeah I'm hoping for that, the problem is that the only solution would be in the inverter itself cause they wouldn't be able to modify my frigin notebook's casing design | 13:20 |
| === rbr is now known as szeta | ||
| martianixor | mek8630: half the heat goes up to the inverter | 13:20 |
| martianixor | mek8630: yes I'm hoping | 13:20 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: honestly if you send it in and have it fixed then the battle would be keeping it cool so it doesnt happen again. I would just invest in a better laptop | 13:20 |
| martianixor | mek8630: although I guess mine isn't that Old | 13:20 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I guess it was manufactured way after that problem was wide spread | 13:21 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: there are plenty of low cost laptops out there now that will last 10 years or better | 13:21 |

| mek8630 | martianixor: well I think you already know what you have to do, unfortunately there is no easy fix | 13:22 |
| northern_deer | maybe it was installed automatically with something | 13:22 |

| babu__ | hi to all.....when i saved the page from indiabix.com,and again open it from my harddisk,it shows empty...........wat's the reason | 13:22 |
| martianixor | mek8630: it's just the 3MB L2 cache and 4MB RAM with ATI Radeon | 13:23 |
| jMCg | northern_deer: dpkg -l fglrx | 13:23 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: oh yeah I see your point | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | babu__: look at the contents of the actual file you saved. Could be mnost of the page was from some javascript/extras that didtnt get saved | 13:24 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: well if that is worth it to you to keep sinking more and more money into it | 13:24 |
| bluesman | i leave and have a nice day | 13:24 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I guess I'll have to contact HP support and try to convince them to tell me if they've developed a solution for such problem heh | 13:25 |
| pythonic | Barridus: ah, ok, thanks | 13:25 |
| babu__ | i checked.....i found all pictures and other stuffs in the file......but it is not shown when i opened it in browser..... | 13:25 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yeah that's what I would do so you know if the problem will actually be fixed or not | 13:25 |
| martianixor | mek8630: do you know a better Laptop with similar hardware? | 13:25 |
| babu__ | it's html file | 13:25 |

| jrib | Gryllida: weechat and irssi are popular | 13:31 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I'm investing money in laptop/notebook cause I don't have a Desktop PC | 13:31 |

| cmol | Hi. Is there any way i can get a list of hardware on my ubuntu box? I'm having an issue with an onboard audio card not working. | 13:35 |
| sinistrad | easy-guy: point your browser to /var/www/phpmyadmin | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | !info hwinfo | 13:35 |
| ubottu | hwinfo (source: hwinfo): Hardware identification system. In component universe, is optional. Version 16.0-2 (lucid), package size 45 kB, installed size 112 kB | 13:35 |
| jMCg | northern_deer: yes, so what? You installed it through apt(-get|itude) -- it also means it's perfectly installed.. supposedly. And it means that you can just as well purge it. | 13:35 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes I know what you mean that is what I got the Emachines laptop for, if I need any power processing to be done | 13:35 |
| Dr_Willis | cmol: the 'hwinfo' tool is handy | 13:35 |
| martianixor | mek8630: you can't do more tasks with rendering in background "Even with my hardware specs" | 13:36 |
| martianixor | sometimes | 13:36 |
| cmol | great thanks! I'll my come back if it don't work.. | 13:36 |
| easy-guy | sinistrad, i already browsed but not worked | 13:36 |
| bdebuggeroy | my ubuntu lucid is not having sound? How can I fix it? | 13:36 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: I am not sure what you mean by rendering? | 13:36 |
| northern_deer | jMCg: it doesn't work. it's supposed to work as a driver, yes? but Compiz says there is no drivers installed. and purging it doesn't work too | 13:36 |
| martianixor | mek8630: High Definition videos or 3D animations sometimes | 13:37 |
| sinistrad | easy-guy: you might have to make sure there isn't any capital letters that were missed, and also that your symbolic link to the real phpmyadmin folder is correct | 13:37 |
| easy-guy | sinistrad, phpmyadmin installed in /etc/phpmyadmin | 13:37 |
| BrixSat | im getting my screen with some lines ocasionaly and once in a while swaping and bouncing very fast, it must be a driver problem :S how do i fix it? (ati radeon x2300) | 13:37 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yeah I don't do much of that with this old laptop just streaming movies to the PS3 | 13:37 |
| sinistrad | easy-guy: your configs should be there, but the real one should be someplace like /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 13:37 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: it was mostly a project just to see if it could do it | 13:38 |
| bdebuggeroy | \q | 13:38 |
| northern_deer | jMCg: and that's what is said when i'm purging it http://linuxportal.by/paste/index.php?show=13 | 13:38 |
| martianixor | mek8630: yeah I figured :-) | 13:38 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: do you know of any clean up utility for ubuntu and xubuntu? | 13:39 |
| debuggerboy | please tell me how can I enable sound in ubuntu 10.04. sound is not working | 13:39 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: like glary or ccleaner? | 13:39 |
| BrixSat | im getting some lines in the screen that apear and dissaperar very fast and also the screen some times goes black? | 13:39 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I think I came across something like ccleaner although I never needed such things with Linux in general | 13:40 |
| easy-guy | sinistrad, /usr/share/phpmyadmin this is worked but now? | 13:40 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: Linux doesn't need those types of programs? I am wondering because it seems like this laptop has been slowing down lately | 13:40 |
| Nvidiot | I have a strange problem with installing Ubuntu 10.04. The installer (desktop CD, 64-bit) sees no drives/partitions, but when I look in the console and type fdisk -l it DOES see the harddisk with 2 partitions (Windows 7 is installed, I want to dual-boot) | 13:40 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I'm sure you can find out more on Ubuntu Forums, cause I can't recall at the moment | 13:40 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I'll try to remember though :-) | 13:41 |
| sinistrad | easy-guy: you can point your browser there, or create a symbolic link in /var/www/ to point to it | 13:41 |
| cmol | Well.. i did hwinfo --sound, and i get nothing. So maybe there are no drivers for the sound card? | 13:41 |
| martianixor | mek8630: slowing down, could be caused by a number of reasons, did you try a tool like htop? to monitor CPU/Mem usage | 13:41 |
| slow-motion | hi | 13:42 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: cool yeah I am still new to Linux and really feel pretty lost most the time | 13:42 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes my cpu has been running very high lately | 13:42 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: just to perform basic tasks | 13:42 |
| debuggerboy | please tell me how can I enable sound in ubuntu 10.04. sound is not working | 13:42 |
| martianixor | mek8630: well htop is a CLI utility that would tell you what's the process using your CPU/Mem the most | 13:43 |
| pythonic | does the kubuntu install cd install any non-free software? | 13:43 |
| easy-guy | sinistrad, how to create symbolic link? | 13:43 |

| martianixor | mek8630: first you need to know what's using your CPU | 13:44 |
| northern_deer | jMCg: thanks | 13:44 |
| sinistrad | easy-guy: "man ls" will get you a manual on that. The command is something like "ln -s", but check the man-page before I steer you wrong | 13:45 |

| CyberaX2195 | arand: nope :P launchpad is timing out with an error hehe, and the patch was released in January by a debian developer, i just cross pasted it, as one of the comments stated that he wanted a patch for just that bug. found the url finally - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+bug/539814 | 13:53 |
| martianixor | mek8630: first of all, do you do any production work on this Ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| pythonic | does ubuntu install cd install any non-free software? | 13:53 |
| arand | Dr_Willis: Pici: CJ can be used (e.g. removing old kernels) But one has to be _careful_, since it tends to suggest manuallly installed packages for removal :/ | 13:54 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: production work? | 13:54 |
| === imlad is now known as imlad|webinar_dr | ||
| martianixor | mek8630: video editing? | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | arand: at one time. i recall it removing the in use kernel also. :) | 13:54 |
| Pici | pythonic: I believe that it does not do so by default. | 13:54 |
| Galerien | pythonic: no | 13:54 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yes | 13:54 |
| untmdsprt | how hard or easy is it to install Ubuntu with a separate /home and system partition? | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | arand: but that may bee fixed now. (i hope) | 13:54 |
| martianixor | mek8630: what tool are you using? | 13:54 |
| amee2k | how do you edit the boot-time options in whatever bootloader the live cd uses? | 13:54 |
| Nvidiot | Dr_Willis lovely. I suppose I could try a 9.10 CD and upgrade to 10.04 if that works. Or maybe 9.04, I think I have that cd somewhere | 13:54 |
| arand | Dr_Willis: I do to... | 13:54 |
| pythonic | Pici, Galerien: ok, thanks | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | untmdsprt: rather trivial. :) | 13:54 |
| amee2k | hitting 'e' as in grub doesn't work | 13:54 |
| pythonic | now i know i am undefiled | 13:54 |
| Galerien | untmdsprt: you just have to make several partitions and select /, /home, /opt... | 13:54 |
| untmdsprt | under manual configuration? | 13:55 |
| amee2k | nevermind, its F6 | 13:55 |
| Dr_Willis | untmdsprt: / /home and a 'swap' is about all i do. | 13:55 |
| Galerien | untmdsprt: if you can count and read.... that's ok, yes, manual configuration | 13:55 |
| martianixor | mek8630: OK back to your problem, was making sure of the tools you need most | 13:55 |
| gnomefreak | Pici: pythonic it does install some apps like firefox it has licenses like MPL(not so free) and GPLv* | 13:55 |
| amee2k | arand: is capitalization in TORAM=yes important? | 13:55 |
| northern_deer | jMCg: still the same problem, maybe reinstall ubuntu? :'-( | 13:55 |
| untmdsprt | Dr_Willis: Galerien: I haven't seen an automatic way | 13:55 |
| Nvidiot | Dr_Willis I'm going to try creating a / and swap manually, see if it'll see those. If not, I'll try a 9.04 or 9.10 upgrade :) | 13:55 |
| gnomefreak | MPL is in place for example icon is not free | 13:56 |
| arand | amee2k: I'm not sure, but I know it worked for me WITH, capitalization. | 13:56 |
| pythonic | gnomefreak: i don't care about non-free icons | 13:56 |
| pythonic | but adobe flash is intolerable | 13:56 |
| martianixor | mek8630: see if there updates available, then try to install htop again | 13:56 |
| Galerien | pythonic: and usefull in some cases... | 13:56 |
| untmdsprt | Galerien: ok, thanks | 13:56 |
| martianixor | mek8630: you had this problem earlier before I told you about htop? | 13:56 |
| gnomefreak | pythonic: you asked and there are other things in the MPL just used that as an example | 13:56 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yeah I already made sure everything was up to date before I got on this chat | 13:57 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: no | 13:57 |
| Galerien | untmdsprt: if you need some additional support, just /query Galerien | 13:57 |
| gnomefreak | pythonic: nothing that is a full non-free app is not installed by default | 13:57 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: I think I know what is running my cpu up as far as processes | 13:57 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: I think its my torrent client | 13:58 |
| martianixor | mek8630: you could try top | 13:58 |
| untmdsprt | actually I would love to be able to put ubuntu on an external drive, but I don't think it's possible yet | 13:58 |
| martianixor | mek8630: see if you have top installed | 13:58 |
| gnomefreak | untmdsprt: people have done so | 13:58 |
| untmdsprt | gnomefreak: with a Mac? | 13:58 |
| gnomefreak | martianixor: top is installed by default IIRC | 13:58 |
| Dr_Willis | martianixor: ages ago i had some issues with rtorrent (i think) or some torrent lib that a lot of torrent clients used that sucked up 100% of one cpu on my multi cpusuyste, | 13:58 |
| livingdaylight | also, kann mir jemand mit playOnLinux helfen? | 13:58 |
| martianixor | gnomefreak: thanks :-) | 13:58 |
| gnomefreak | untmdsprt: i dont know i never tried | 13:58 |
| Barridus | i like "atop" better than "top" | 13:58 |
| Galerien | untmdsprt: I have a ubuntu on a usb stick... | 13:59 |
| livingdaylight | how i can play Age of Empire on Ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Htop is so purty. | 13:59 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | livingdaylight | 13:59 |

| untmdsprt | Galerien: I'm wanting Ubuntu on my external drive | 13:59 |
| martianixor | Dr_Willis: well I'm currently having a similar problem caused by gvfs-metadata and I had to live with it | 13:59 |
| untmdsprt | Galerien: and haven't been able to do so yet | 13:59 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: I have wine already, so now how do i get Age of Empire. REpository? | 13:59 |

| arand | CyberaX2195: Are you really sure those statuses should be set to fix released? THe patch is only pasted on the bur report right, not applied to the lucid version of the package? | 14:00 |
| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: it ran ok in wine a few months back when i tried it. | 14:00 |
| pythonic | livingdaylight: buy it or rob the store | 14:00 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: i see! I thought it was something I can get in repositories, lol | 14:00 |

| pythonic | livingdaylight: yeah, the piratebay.ubuntu.com repository | 14:01 |
| livingdaylight | Dr_Willis: i don't know... I thought there was Ubuntu version | 14:01 |
| Pici | !piracy | pythonic | 14:01 |
| ubottu | pythonic: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 14:01 |

| Dr_Willis | livingdaylight: theres similer games. I saw one just the other day that came out. I forget its name | 14:01 |
| mek8630 | martianixor: yeah I multitask alot hahah and I got ahead of myself at the moment | 14:01 |
| livingdaylight | jrib: wesnoth? in repository? | 14:01 |
| pythonic | !lol | Pici | 14:01 |
| ubottu | Pici: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 14:01 |

| jrib | livingdaylight: yes; yes | 14:01 |
| martianixor | mek8630: restarting your transmission is the shorter faster solution | 14:01 |
| CyberaX2195 | arand: i can apply it nps to a debdiff if needed | 14:02 |
| Pici | pythonic: I'm not laughing. | 14:02 |
| CyberaX2195 | even upload a pkg with it if people require | 14:02 |
| pythonic | Pici: oh, wait, you really thought there was a piratebay.ubuntu.com repository? | 14:02 |
| martianixor | mek8630: I wonder how you could find out it's Transmission though ;-) | 14:02 |

| mek8630 | martianixor: hahaha | 14:03 |
| CyberaX2195 | arand: err, doh i read that as 'a fix has been released by xxx' | 14:03 |
| northern_deer | now the next question: how can I kill an installed package manually, not using apt-get or something? | 14:03 |
| CyberaX2195 | and then fix commited as its been pushed out | 14:03 |
| jrib | northern_deer: what do you mean by "kill"? | 14:03 |
| pythonic | Pici: btw, does "questionably legal practices" include linking to medibuntu? | 14:03 |
| arand | CyberaX2195: Nope, it's meant as "fix has been released in a new package update" | 14:03 |
| CyberaX2195 | ah | 14:04 |
| northern_deer | delete all its files and references to it | 14:04 |

| Dr_Willis | ntr0py: it tells gdm to wait so long for the X server(and drivers) to get going/started befor it thinks theres a probpem (from what i recall reading) Think about what you are asking.. GDM is using X. how can it wait for X to start when it has to start X.. its 'watching' for a set amount of time for X to get started up - beor it goes into a 'it crashed lets do somthing mode' (at least thats how I | 14:11 |

| dsnyders | geirha, so they will all let me "network" the virtual machines together? | 14:24 |
| geirha | dsnyders: I would be surprised if any of them didn't. | 14:25 |
| pythonic | ok, say i have an /etc/init.d/iptables script on debian that starts after the "ifupdown" script and before the "networking" script. how do i configure that on ubuntu? | 14:25 |

| xomp | is there anyway to see what errors may be hiding in crontab? I thought I had a cronjob setup to run a few .sh scripts to backup my SQL databases every night but there's no dumps and I honestly don't think anything is getting ran in cron! | 14:28 |
| jrib | wrksx: /msg ubottu startup then. You'll likely either want to create an upstart job, use /etc/rc.local, or, if you can find one already created (so creating an upstart job would be more work), use an old sysv-init-style script (I have to go now) | 14:29 |

| ntr0py | Dr_Willis: i got it working somehow: i replaced /usr/sbin/gdm-binary with a shellscript delaying the execution of /usr/sbin/gdm-binary.real (which i renamed the original /usr/sbin/gdm-binary to)... so I suspect there indeed is a race in upstart between dkms/nvidia and gdm which simply starts too early... this is a bug in lucid / upstart ?? | 14:29 |

| phylock | cAs - vlc player | 14:43 |
| arand | amee2k: Hmm, well in that case, maybe it failed, I'm not sure if there was a huge amount of testing done with the option, it was simply enabled, since a long-standing bug had been fixed which blocked it, might now work for your machine then :( | 14:44 |
| cAs | phylock, thank you. Theres no way watching it with gnome player? | 14:44 |
| Nvidiot | Hm. It gets weirder. Ubuntu 10.04 desktop does NOT see the disk in the partitioning tool. Server DOES, but seems to install the dmraid module to run it. The odd thing is: the drive is configured as IDE mode in the bios, not AHCI or RAID | 14:44 |
| amee2k | arand: i see. to be sure i checked the cd for defects but it came out fine. | 14:45 |
| amee2k | arand: i'll think up something different then... thanks for the hint though :) | 14:45 |

| scunizi | levity_island: you can open a terminal and type sudo mount .. which should respond with everything that is mounted and where. | 14:50 |

| falktx | Dr_Willis: Slart: I need alsa midi | 16:05 |
| DrGrov | Hello everyone | 16:05 |
| falktx | I'll make a screenshot | 16:05 |
| Slart | falktx: I don't think alsa does midi.. I might be wrong though | 16:05 |
| DrGrov | I installed E16 from the repos but it made my whole GNOME install go berserk on me | 16:05 |
| falktx | Slart: it does | 16:06 |
| DrGrov | How can I reinstall GNOME desktop without losing my settings etc. ? | 16:06 |
| loopidity | Dr_Willis thanks , had to edit .bashcr also, and the time stamp I am still getting 1234565487 | 16:06 |
| falktx | Slart: and wine has support for it | 16:06 |
| vmf007 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/446682/ | 16:06 |
| vmf007 | thanks ubottu | 16:06 |
| falktx | here's the issue: | 16:06 |
| falktx | http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/tmp/wine-alsa-empty.png | 16:06 |
| corin_ | how do I set sgid flag for a directory? | 16:07 |
| falktx | it should be like this: | 16:07 |
| falktx | http://nedko.arnaudov.name/tmp/winemidi.png | 16:07 |
| martian | vmf007: Looks like this will help you then: http://computergyan.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/solving-the-busybox-black-screen-problem-in-grub2ubuntu9-10/ | 16:07 |
| DrGrov | I can not even resize my windows anymore or do anything else either. So help is greatly appreciated. Not sure what made my install go like this, E16 made it wrong or? | 16:07 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: try alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' to see if your window maanger crashed | 16:08 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: I tried doing rebooting as well. Nothing seemed to help but trying now. | 16:08 |
| martian | vmf007: I wonder if simply redoing the install would be the best option though | 16:08 |
| vmf007 | I have 10.04 will it still work? | 16:08 |
| vmf007 | just did a fresh install | 16:08 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: i can not use Alt F2 either | 16:09 |
| falktx | Dr_Willis: Slart: help? | 16:09 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: I can not open a terminal either | 16:09 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: so what window manager did you tell gdm to startup? Gnome? | 16:09 |
| acicula | DrGrov, ctrl-alt-f1, export DISPLAY=:0;metacity --replace | 16:09 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: yes, gnome. i remove e16 and the .e16 folder as well. | 16:09 |
| Slart | falktx: I'm searching.. I'll let you know if I find anything | 16:09 |
| falktx | Slart: thanks | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: thats odd. e16 really shoudent affect gnome at all. | 16:10 |
| acicula | that should start a working wm on your desktop | 16:10 |
| martian | vmf007: yeah, but you'll probably have to replace 'vmlinuz-2.6.31-16-generic' with 'vmlinuz-2.6.28-19-generic' or something like that | 16:10 |
| === Votang|off is now known as Votan | ||
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: yes, tell me about it. it is perhaps because i run e16-gnome first. had some issues and removed it. | 16:10 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: as a test you could make a new user (from the console, sudo adduser testuser) and see if gnome works for them. if it does work. then you proberly just need to clean out some gnome settings for the broken user. IF its broken for the new user.. well thats deeper issues | 16:11 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: one sec. | 16:11 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: You migjht need to reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package | 16:11 |
| vmf007 | is it a long procedure? in other words, should i come back later, or is it some thing quick that I can stay here while u are here? | 16:11 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: i tried reinstalling that but no luck it seems. | 16:12 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: i will try the test user now to see what happens | 16:12 |
| antivirtel | hello all, I dont know what happens, but every button went mad, and some of AWN's applet is crashed; I compiled GTK+ only ? can it make this problem? | 16:12 |
| loopidity | how to make bash history record time? | 16:12 |
| terry | In appearance how can I change the "visual effects" to "normal"or "extras".It cannot find the drivers | 16:12 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: and what is your video card/chipset? | 16:13 |
| terry | VIA | 16:13 |
| Slart | falktx: I just tried installing the regular ubuntu repository wine and I get midi channels on my system | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | via makes a lot of different chipsets I recall :) | 16:13 |
| martian | vmf007: basically, you need to boot off the live CD, edit a file and replace the part where it says UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with /dev/sda1 | 16:13 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | how to mount an directory onto another in /etc/fstab? | 16:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | rafaelsoaresbr | 16:13 |
| ubottu | rafaelsoaresbr: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 16:13 |
| falktx | Slart: ubuntu-wine ppa? | 16:13 |
| Slart | falktx: nope | 16:14 |
| terry | Where to get its drivers? | 16:14 |
| falktx | Slart: wine or wine1.2? | 16:14 |
| vmf007 | I'll give it a shot, see u in a bit | 16:14 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: what does 'lspci' say your card is exactly. | 16:14 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: it is might strange. the settings are working out well for the 'testuser' | 16:14 |
| Slart | falktx: wine 1.1.42, I think the package was called wine 1.2 though | 16:14 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: it looks like all my normal user buttons etc. are completely missing | 16:15 |
| falktx | Slart: i'll try a downgrade | 16:15 |
| terry | Whats "lspci" | 16:15 |
| gazal | need help regarding Drupal | 16:15 |
| gazal | nybody thr? | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: Not really. :) sounds like your gnome sessions are messed up. From the console, You can login as your broken user and carefully reset the gnome settings by remioving various config files.. but what files.. well.. do you have any gnome settings you want to keep? or email? or anything special? | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | list pci cards/hardware | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: a command you use in the terminal | 16:15 |
| gazal | is thr any DRUPAL user? | 16:15 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: no email. just like to have my "current" look like it is :) | 16:16 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: you need to give us more info then just 'via' You could also install/run hwinfo from the package manager ifyou wanted to | 16:16 |
| marys | gazal: state your problem and is anyone can help they will... | 16:16 |
| === oo is now known as Bersam | ||
| Slart | gazal: just ask your question.. with all the details needed.. if someone knows the answer they might help you | 16:16 |
| terry | whats "hwinfo" | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | terry, list pci cards/hardware | 16:16 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: preferably keep my applications and such though. firefox bookmarks and such intact would be nice. | 16:17 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | does ubuntu come with a vnc server? | 16:17 |
| pranay_09 | i am unable to record using my microphone | 16:17 |
| terry | Where to get its drivers? | 16:17 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: no idea where thats saved. but the gnome settings are normally in .gnome .gnome2 .gconf and .gconfd (there may be others) make a directory (called OLD-GNOME) and just move the dirs to it. and try logging in again. | 16:17 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: yes.. I think there is something called vino that handle desktop sharing and such | 16:17 |
| wessel | Is someone here familiar with text to speech software? | 16:17 |
| === issyl0_ is now known as issyl0 | ||
| Dr_Willis | terry: yet another program you can install and run to get hardware info. | 16:17 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: there's also other vnc servers you can install from the repos | 16:17 |
| terry | Whats that? | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: 'via' makes a LOT of differnt chipsets and cards.. | 16:18 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: how about I reinstall the whole ubuntu-desktop again? | 16:18 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: that helped last time I was having issues with KDE 4.x | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: that WONT reset the users settings.. that why. :) | 16:18 |
| wessel | I wonder what is the current state of the art, are text to speech programs still doing bi phone synthesis? | 16:18 |
| terry | How to know whats mine? | 16:18 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: and if the other user worked.. well that points to a setting issue | 16:18 |
| BluesKaj | terry, a look at terminal commands at google-linux might help | 16:18 |
| ubutom | rafaelsoaresbr, or just install tightvncserver through software center | 16:18 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: yeah, true. how if I make myself a new user and copy my whole /home to the new user? | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: install and run hwinfo and read the output. or look at the output of 'lspci' and see what it says about yoru video card | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: that user wont have sudo rights. | 16:19 |
| Slart | wessel: I don't think "state of the art" is free.. neither beer nor speech.. the free ones can be pretty horrible | 16:19 |
| im63KG | how can I use freemarker?hey everybody | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: its easy to reset the gnome settings. Just move/rename/delete a few dirs.. and it goes back to defaults | 16:19 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: oh damn. this will become increasingly insane. | 16:19 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Slart, ubutom: what is there in System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop ? VNC Server ? | 16:19 |
| martian | DrGrov: If you simply back up all your 'dotfiles' (files in your home directory that are hidden / begin with a . ) then all your settings will be backed up regardless | 16:19 |
| martianixor | something wrong with repositories anyone? | 16:19 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: takes me all of like.. 40 sec to reset the settings.. (i do cheat and use the 'mc' file manager in the console) | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | martian, the main server is very slow today | 16:20 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: I think that's the vino configuration.. they just don't call it vnc | 16:20 |
| _6i | hi, i would like to know, how come in lucid apt wont show me the 'ogre' source package, when i can find it on packages.ubuntu.com ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/ogre )? | 16:20 |
| BluesKaj | err martianixor | 16:20 |
| _6i | it's a source package, i tried 'sudo apt-get source ogre' while having enabled all repos in source mode too in /etc/apt/sources.list except the lucid-security | 16:20 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: perhaps we can keep this as a PM? :) i am a slow boy today lol | 16:20 |
| marys | rafaelsoaresbr: vinagre | 16:20 |
| ubutom | I believe it'S a client rafaelsoaresbr , never used it to share my desktop, so I don't know if it's a full-grown vnc-server | 16:20 |
| martianixor | BluesKaj: thanks :-) | 16:20 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: move the .gnome* and .gconf* dirs to some other dir.. and try logging in. Its that simple. | 16:21 |
| LS1 | Anyone know if its possible to switch a kvm switch from the os instead of pressing the button on the switch? | 16:21 |
| pranay_09 | Dr_Willis: i am unable to record using microphone ,i have checked the mic in another comp | 16:21 |
| wessel | Slart, I think there are data driven speech synthesizers which are free, but they run on windows :-/ | 16:21 |
| Pici | _6i: Seems to be working here, are you getting an error when you try? | 16:21 |
| loopidity | export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%h/%d - %H:%M:%S ' | 16:21 |
| loopidity | i still get unix time format | 16:21 |
| Slart | wessel: ah.. I've only played with the linux ones.. didn't really search that much either, I must confess | 16:21 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Slart, marys: so, does ubuntu include a "built-in" vnc server? I will try accessing it from a remote computer. thanks! | 16:22 |
| Slart | wessel: lets hope some of it trickles over to our side of the yard =) | 16:22 |
| popey | LS1: depends on the kvm, mine does by pressing scroll lock twice then the number of the screen to switch to, or scroll lock twice then an arrow | 16:22 |
| popey | LS1: mine beeps when i press scroll lock twice to acknowledge the keypresses | 16:22 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: I'm not sure if it's installed/enabled by default or if it installs when you enable it in the preferences | 16:22 |
| terry | installed hwinfo.How to check my VIA chipset details? | 16:23 |
| _6i | Pici: no, just the tab auto-completion doesn't show such a package - i i get ogre-* though | 16:23 |
| falktx | Slart: downgrading works - http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/tmp/wine-alsa-now.png | 16:23 |
| === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno | ||
| LS1 | Popey, cool thanx | 16:23 |
| Pici | _6i: I'm not sure if the auto-complete knows about source package names | 16:23 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Slart, I'm going to try using it. thanks man! | 16:23 |
| Slart | falktx: yay =) | 16:23 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: you're welcome | 16:23 |
| terry | Dr_Willis Please help | 16:23 |
| _6i | Pici: ok, then i try it just like that.. | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: with what? | 16:24 |
| ubutom | rafaelsoaresbr, you will likely have to share the host manually every time, tightvncserver starts automatically on system boot | 16:24 |
| terry | installed hwinfo.How to check my VIA chipset details? | 16:24 |
| falktx | Slart: not yay | 16:24 |
| falktx | Slart: wine 1.2~rc2 is here | 16:24 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: run 'hwinfo' and read its output... | 16:24 |
| falktx | Slart: and i can't use it | 16:24 |
| terry | How to run it? | 16:24 |
| marys | rafaelsoaresbr: yes, but you van also install x11server from software manager if you want. Plus you need to make sure access like firewall, etc. is set up correctly. | 16:25 |
| falktx | Slart: they say wine recently chaned to openal implementation | 16:25 |
| falktx | *changed | 16:25 |
| lucenut | I am interested in a way to run Ubuntu at the same time as my windows. | 16:25 |
| lucenut | I have development environments running on my windows that I can't turn off. But I tried running Ubuntu in a VM using Virtualbox and it would only go to like 1024 pixels. | 16:25 |
| Slart | falktx: oh..but that shouldn't keep it from working with ubuntu.. or? | 16:25 |
| terry | How to run it!Dr_Willis | 16:25 |

| corin_ | how do I set sgid flag for a directory? | 16:26 |
| lucenut | Are other virtual environments better? I was hoping to just run it fullscreen and be able to almost forget about the windows running. | 16:26 |

| ubutom | lucenut, desktop resolution can be changed in virtual box preferences, or in the vm itself i think | 16:26 |
| unop | lucenut, if you install the virtualbox guest additions/extensions in windows - you'll get full resolution amongst other things | 16:26 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | ubutom: thanks. marys, ps: i use gufw. why doesn't ubuntu have firewall enabled by default? | 16:27 |
| lucenut | Yeah, but 800x600 was the largest in Windowsbox. | 16:27 |
| lucenut | My buddy installed something in ubuntu that made it go to 1024 I think. | 16:27 |
| unop | lucenut, actually, otherway around - install the VB extensions in ubuntu | 16:27 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: the command --> lspci | grep VGA | 16:27 |
| corin_ | Slart, what's the syntax? | 16:27 |
| lucenut | VB extensions? What are those for? | 16:28 |

| BlueParrot | Hi all, I just upgraded to lucid and now the network manager applet wants me to reenter the WPA key for our wireless network every reboot, is this as intended ? | 16:28 |

| ubutom | lucenut, might not be the problem, but the virutal vga adapter also needs enough memory assigned, though it should be enough for more than 1024x768 | 16:28 |
| vock | BluesKaj, yes I have, all volume levels are up, but still no sound | 16:28 |
| xylander | #ubuntu.pl | 16:29 |
| unop | lucenut, the extensions are needed to give you full resolution (and other things like sound, networking, etc) | 16:29 |
| lucenut | Ubuntu extensions? | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | vock, any Ms in the ctrl boxes...? if so navigate to them and use the M key to unmute | 16:30 |
| Slart | lucenut: the extensions are installed in the guest os.. so if I'm running windows in a vm I install the windows extensions inside the vm.. if I'm running ubuntu in a vm I install the linux extensions inside the ubuntu in the vm | 16:30 |
| unop | lucenut, no, they're called "VirtualBox Guest Additions" - part of virtualbox itself, they need to be installed in ubuntu | 16:30 |
| marys | VB=Virtual Box | 16:31 |
| lucenut | Ah, thanks. | 16:31 |
| Slart | lucenut: sorry.. they are called Guest Additions.. not extensions.. my bad | 16:31 |
| Slart | lucenut: like unop said | 16:31 |
| ubutom | or visual basic, scnr | 16:31 |
| lucenut | So VB should be able to run fullscreen at 1900 pixels? | 16:31 |

| ubutom | Slart, is virtual box the vm supporting dx9 or what was it again? | 16:33 |

| jpds | OpenSourcedNick: No, not really. | 16:35 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: great | 16:35 |

| ubutom | Slart, found it, I think it's vmware workstation what I meant | 16:35 |
| Slart | lucenut: ah.. so no problem then.. it will handle regular graphics well enough.. at least good enough to use regular desktop software | 16:35 |
| loopidity | how do i record bash history in human readable format and not unix time? | 16:35 |
| jpds | loopidity: date -R ? | 16:35 |
| terry | Dr_Willis please help! | 16:35 |
| Slart | ubutom: ah.. I've never tried that | 16:36 |
| loopidity | jpds in the .bash_history file i mean | 16:36 |
| Slart | !helpme | terry | 16:36 |
| ubottu | terry: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude | 16:36 |
| falktx | loopidity: export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T " | 16:36 |
| ubutom | Slart, me neither, but I read about it. Well, it's commercial and virtualbox is free, so... ;) | 16:36 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Slart, i'm using openvnc in windows. but the screen resolution does not fit. | 16:36 |
| fanti | hello! after the last dist-upgrade a few days ago, my network interfaces do not configure automatically. 'sudo service network-interfaces start' reports an error: start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: i think you ran the wrong command.. and dont paste 4+ lines here. | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: the command is --> lspci | grep VGA | 16:37 |
| piasdom | hello all | 16:37 |
| disappearedng | hey how do I restore my home directory which is hidden by ecryptfs? | 16:37 |
| unop | loopidity, bash uses the timestamp internally - the HISTTIMEFORMAT variable is only used to format that timestamp when you use the history command | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj | fanti , run sudo dhclient | 16:37 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: I've never used openvnc.. I think I used tightvnc or .. that other one...ehmm.. ultravnc.. one of those supports some kind of scaling | 16:37 |

| terry | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9] (rev 01) | 16:37 |
| loopidity | unop gotcha | 16:38 |
| Goomba54 | hey everyone. quick question. im gonna be partitioning my hdd soon. is there anyway i can make a copy of my ubuntu as it is now that i can install if i mess something up? | 16:38 |
| vmf007 | martian... | 16:38 |
| loopidity | unop so ther is no way then? | 16:38 |
| terry | Tahts whats it tells | 16:38 |
| zaira | hola | 16:38 |
| unop | loopidity, that's because it would be too difficult for bash to parse any arbitrary date format you use - there is no way I know | 16:38 |
| Dr_Willis | terry: its very possible that thing has no 3d drivers for linux. You seem to have a 'Via K8M890CE/K8N890CE [Chrome 9]' thats worth rembering | 16:38 |
| lucenut | I have 1360x768 in my Virtualbox Ubuntu. Is it possible to go bigger? | 16:38 |
| Slart | rafaelsoaresbr: or you can set it up in the vnc server.. if you're starting the vnc server from a command line there is a --geometry option I think.. but it's been a while since I messed with it so I might be mistaken | 16:38 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | Slart, openvnc does not rezise video output. going to download tightvnc | 16:38 |
| piasdom | how do i enable proprietary drivers? in system/admin/hardware drivers ...it says enabled but not in use | 16:38 |
| loopidity | unop thats sad, i heard older version used to do it though | 16:39 |
| corin_ | Slart, chmod g+s file # but how do i specify what group? | 16:39 |
| corin_ | s/file/directory | 16:39 |
| terry | Cant I set my apperance to atleast normal | 16:39 |
| terry | ? | 16:39 |
| Goomba54 | anybody? a way to make an exact copy of my ubuntu now that i can reinstall? | 16:39 |
| unop | loopidity, you can always use the history command to create a new version of your ~/.bash_history with your preferred timeformat like this. HISTFORMAT="blah" history > new_histfile | 16:39 |
| Slart | corin_: eh.. stgid uses the group of the parent directory.. if I recall correctly | 16:39 |
| unop | loopidity, you could ask the folk in #bash more about this. | 16:40 |
| loopidity | unop yup, thought so | 16:40 |
| ubutom | Goomba54, http://partedmagic.com/ | 16:40 |

| Dr_Willis | ANyone know off hand if VIA Chrome9 even has 3d support? | 16:42 |
| ubutom | Dr_Willis, think so, though I don't know if the linux drivers do | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | ubutom: thats what i was thinking.. no 3d for them. | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | ubutom: but im not 100% sure on that | 16:43 |
| corin_ | Slart, http://pastie.org/private/hize5f8jifrcsqnx5cdw - am I missing something? | 16:43 |

| ubutom | Dr_Willis, it's DX9 capable, least on windows | 16:44 |
| piasdom | thanks anyway | 16:44 |
| Slart | corin_: are you sure the setgid flag affects other directories? | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | ubutom: yea. but thats not really saying a lot these days. :) | 16:44 |
| vmf007 | hey, sorry | 16:44 |
| ubutom | Dr_Willis, true :) | 16:44 |
| bastidrazor | Dr_Willis: a quick google search shows from the openchrome wiki no 3d drivers and no hint at there ever being any | 16:44 |
| corin_ | Slart, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid#setgid_on_directories - "Setting the setgid permission on a directory (chmod g+s) causes new files and subdirectories created within it to inherit its groupID" | 16:45 |
| vmf007 | I couldn't do the procedure cuz the error comes up right before I can hit the esc button to get into grub | 16:45 |
| Slart | corin_: hmm.. nevermind .. it should affect files and directories.. | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | bastidrazor: thats what i was googling for.. Oh well.. terry got booted anyway. | 16:45 |
| martian | vmf007: You should boot to the live CD to do it | 16:45 |
| loopidity | unop does history remember stuffs only after recent login? or can I make it store items of past few days as well | 16:45 |
| Reliant | heh, it looks like in Kdevelop, every time I close a file the list of files opened is reversed. I have to close files in pairs to maintain my list in the proper order :D | 16:45 |
| bastidrazor | Dr_Willis: seems some DRM issues are hindering the open source project | 16:46 |
| loopidity | apparently it stoes only recent items after login | 16:46 |
| vmf007 | I am in live cd, it said to reboot and edit grub | 16:46 |
| ubutom | My experience with S3 is, one can be lucky to have functional windows drivers :D | 16:46 |
| Slart | corin_: what are the owner:group for the /var/www/_sites folder? | 16:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ubutom: thats what i was thinking also | 16:46 |
| Rinsmaster | Is there any way to get the media keys on my KB to work in while in a fullscreen game? | 16:46 |
| Chatur | hello people | 16:46 |
| unop | loopidity, yes, you can control that with the histappend shell option -- see ''help shopt'' and ''man bash'' | 16:47 |
| vmf007 | can I change grub from live cd? and if so, how | 16:47 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | I tried to reinstall the Broadcom driver and received an error that some patch was missing. I deleted it :-) now how do I fix this mess? | 16:47 |
| corin_ | Slart, ah, you're right, i need to sgid directories already made, including _sites | 16:47 |
| unop | loopidity, with histappend - history entries are appended to the histfile - and your histfile can be days, weeks or even years old -- it'll keep growing | 16:47 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | no Man bashing allowed here! | 16:47 |
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: problem solved. :) | 16:47 |
| Chatur | i am new to ubuntu.i have recently installed compiz and for some reason i am not able to enable the visual effects. | 16:47 |

| === torger is now known as shazzr | ||
| DrGrov | Dr_Willis: ah yes. i can be a bit more clever this time around ;) | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | DrGrov: after a few days if everything seems ok. You can clean out your backups you made | 16:48 |
| loopidity | thanks unop, i will see into that | 16:48 |
| Slart | corin_: yep.. and set owner:group manually.. It doesn't do that for existing files/folders.. only new ones | 16:48 |

| martian | vmf007: The tutorial there explains it | 16:48 |

| vmf007 | ok, can I get that link one more time then please? | 16:49 |

| martian | http://computergyan.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/solving-the-busybox-black-screen-problem-in-grub2ubuntu9-10/ | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mm_: you should track down some books on bash, and read the 'advanced bash scripting' guide | 16:49 |
| unop | loopidity, shopt -s histappend and HISTFILESIZE=32767 # would give you what you want but ensure that only a max of 32k commands are remembered in history | 16:49 |

| BlueParrot | ubutom, I don't get asked to set a keyring password though | 16:55 |
| ubutom | BlueParrot, but I think there's an option in Network manager to save the password or make it availabe for all users or something like that, did that on another machine running 9.10 and it connected automatically | 16:56 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | Dr_Willis: wow that's a mess | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Real_Sam_Fis: might be a quirk with the STA driver my laptop is using | 16:56 |

| The_Real_Sam_Fis | Scarlet: hello | 16:59 |
| joshdreamland | My sound quality is horrific on Lucid, never was before. Can confirm it is not a problem with a particular port nor particular pair of speakers. Is this a known problem? | 16:59 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | pedro: welcome my friend to the wonderful world of Ubuntu! | 16:59 |
| joshdreamland | By horrific, I mean it sounds like the audio was overamplified, clipped, and then played. It sounds like the speakers are giving out, only they're not. | 16:59 |
| ubutom | BlueParrot, yeah, I made the same thing | 17:00 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | joshdreamland: Are you singing along? Perhaps that is the problem! | 17:00 |
| ping__luce | hi. which program could I use for extracting tracks from an audio cd into wav format? | 17:00 |
| joshdreamland | The_Real_Sam_Fis: Oh, you're right! I hadn't noticed | 17:00 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | LOL | 17:00 |
| joshdreamland | :p | 17:00 |
| ubutom | BlueParrot, just looked, I made a wireless connection and enabled it for all users, so the password get'S saved. I don't remember setting a password for keyring, so it should work | 17:01 |

| ubutom | BlueParrot, I also enably connect automatically | 17:02 |
| ubutom | *enabled | 17:02 |
| joshdreamland | I know a lot of overhauling was done on 10.04's sound system, and it corrected a lot of problems with dropped buffers. I'm not sure where this problem came from out of that | 17:02 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | joshdreamland: there is a possibilty that it is playing through the on board speaker that is supposed to beep for warnings? | 17:02 |
| acicula | vidur, though may be that its just to old a gfx to be supported beyond anything then the open source driver thats (should be) enabled by default. | 17:02 |
| joshdreamland | The_Real_Sam_Fis: No, pcspkr's been blacklisted | 17:02 |
| BlueParrot | ubuntulog, if the keyring works I'm fine with that because then I could just use my password and not having to remember the darn wep-key | 17:02 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | joshdreamland: was a wild guess | 17:02 |
| joshdreamland | Mine only ever beeped anyway | 17:02 |

| vidur | No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly."Please install the ATI driver appropriate for you ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig." | 17:06 |
| Milp_main | I urgently need all the stuff required to compile things for the kernel version 2.6.29 on an arm device | 17:06 |
| Kenet | can this problem be described as pcspkr works but you don't want it to work? | 17:06 |
| joshdreamland | The_Real_Sam_Fis: Not really; I just ran update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade | 17:06 |
| Kenet | hehe, since my english sucks | 17:06 |
| joshdreamland | Kenet: My problem? | 17:06 |
| acicula | vidur, are you trying to install drivers from the ati website | 17:06 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | Kenet: he turned off the PC Speaker | 17:07 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | Kenet: it is super annoying on laptops | 17:07 |
| joshdreamland | Kenet: I would have blacklisted pcspkr had the developers not done so themselves with the comment "this annoys everybody" | 17:07 |
| Kenet | i used to have this similar problem | 17:07 |
| vidur | No i tried installing it using "synaptic package manager" | 17:07 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | joshdreamland: really? that's funny | 17:07 |
| Kenet | blacklist it won't help | 17:07 |
| joshdreamland | The_Real_Sam_Fis: Yes. They said in their comment it should be replaced by a nice audio blip. | 17:08 |
| Kenet | i looked for the solution everywhere and all say that i have to blacklist it | 17:08 |
| ubutom | vidur, maybe you use the opensource driver, to enable radeon driver enable desktop effects or use hardware driver wizard, if it doesn't install, your card is not supported anymore and you'll have to stick with the opensource driver which doesn't have ccc | 17:08 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | anyone help installing Broadcom driver when it asks for a patch I just deleted? | 17:08 |
| joshdreamland | Kenet: My problem is that when I play some sounds/songs, it sounds as if the system had amplified them past the playable range, clipped what couldn't be played, and then set it back with several lost crests and played it anyway | 17:09 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | any Aussies here? | 17:09 |
| jad | hey | 17:09 |
| acicula | vidur, ah like so, same issue really, you can not install the binary ati drivers (fglrx) period, your card is not supported by those drivers(anymore). and the older drivers that do support the card probably wont work on a modern version of ubuntu, tl;dr your stuck using the open source ati driver. | 17:09 |
| joshdreamland | so it kind of hisses and sometimes squeaks | 17:09 |
| jad | please really need help with open office draw | 17:09 |
| jad | and please don't redirect me | 17:09 |
| jad | to a different channel | 17:09 |
| theadmin | jad: Might be better off to #openoffice.org but if you know it's Ubuntu specific - ask here | 17:09 |
| joshdreamland | It really sounds as if the speakers have gone bad, but I tested multiple from multiple ports | 17:09 |
| joshdreamland | !ask | jad | 17:10 |
| ubottu | jad: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 17:10 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | jad: there is a channel for open office at #openofficejustforJad | 17:10 |
| vidur | oh...is there a way by which i can bring back my driver settings to normal again? | 17:10 |
| acicula | vidur, yeah remove the packages you installed with apt-get remove --purge packagename | 17:10 |
| acicula | in a console | 17:10 |
| acicula | !xorg | 17:10 |

| theadmin | Hm. What is the XFCE's login manager? xdm or something? | 17:11 |
| joshdreamland | *has a bone to pick with x.org developers, too* | 17:11 |
| Kenet | sorry that's beyond my ability | 17:11 |
| vidur | k i ll try doing that | 17:11 |
| jad | The_Real_Sam_Fis, thing is, no one is on these channels usually | 17:11 |
| djbeenie_ | anyone know how to restart alsa in ubuntu 10.4? | 17:11 |

| jaminc | my laptop appears to be periodically rebooting as a result of a kernel crash... however most attempts to submit the requested bug report for the kernel crash result in a "HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error" response after several minutes trying to upload the data. Is there any other way I can report this problem and provide the necessary data? | 17:13 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | WOW no one can help me with Broadcom problem really? | 17:14 |
| geez | Hi, I have been Googling for a mobile printer that will work with my Karmic netbook. Suggestions, rants and raves welcomed ;-) | 17:14 |
| The_Real_Sam_Fis | geez: this aint no place for rants and raves | 17:14 |
| joshdreamland | geez: I've never plugged anything into an ubuntu machine that didn't just immediately work | 17:15 |
| rashd7_ | i have bcm5784m lan driver | 17:15 |
| joshdreamland | Well, I mean, not since they fixed it so you can have more than one mouse | 17:15 |
| joshdreamland | Which was a very, very long time ago | 17:15 |
| geez | Anything? agreed but printing is different because I don't ever see any drivers... | 17:15 |
| theadmin | geez: CUPS? | 17:16 |
| theadmin | :/ | 17:16 |
| joshdreamland | geez: I despise printers. I had to install software for mine on Windows, but they worked immediately on Ubuntu | 17:16 |
| jaminc | geez, all printers I've tried have just worked... the main problem is getting one that is portable enough for a mobile | 17:16 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | can I use "mount --bind" for /var directory instead of using symbolic links? | 17:16 |
| geez | Great, so which printer did u install? | 17:16 |
| Milp_main | I urgently need all the stuff required to compile things for the kernel version 2.6.29 on an arm device, where can i find the kernel headers for that? | 17:16 |
| jaminc | geez, my main is an hp7350 (bit old now days) | 17:17 |
| NCS_One | I have a blueray in .mkv file when I play it lags, plays like slowmotion, do I need some codecs ? | 17:17 |
| acicula | Milp_main, are you on ubuntu? | 17:17 |
| jaminc | also had another HP all-in-one deal (scanner, printer, etc) don't recall the model number off hand | 17:17 |
| rottenese | The_Real_Sam_Fis: tried the broadcom driver shipped with synaptic pkg mngr? | 17:17 |
| claytonwalker | Test, can anybody read this? | 17:17 |
| acicula | claytonwalker, yup | 17:17 |
| geez | I need a mobile printer somthing like the Canon ip100 but only drivers 4 mac and windoze | 17:17 |
| jpds | claytonwalker: No. | 17:17 |
| Milp_main | acicula: yes | 17:17 |
| Keithamus | does anyone here have Lucid Lynx set up for LTSP? | 17:17 |
| claytonwalker | Thanks, now to my question. Am I not able to copy a 4GB+ file over to a fat32 formatted HD? | 17:18 |
| acicula | Milp_main, apt-get install build-essential, and you may have to explicitly install the headers package for your kernel version, use apt-cache search to locate those | 17:18 |
| powdahound | Anyone else having issues hitting security.ubuntu.com when running 'apt-get update'? | 17:18 |
| theadmin | claytonwalker: Nope, 4GB limit on fat32. | 17:18 |
| iceroot | claytonwalker: no | 17:18 |
| acicula | ie apt-cache search linux | grep headers| grep <yourversion> or something to that extend | 17:18 |
| acicula | isnt there exFAT | 17:18 |
| acicula | to handle +4GB sized files? | 17:19 |
| joshdreamland | The_Real_Sam_Fis: I found the comments. "# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a / # nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)" | 17:19 |
| jaminc | geez, that's funny, I see Linux drivers on their support site for the ip100 | 17:19 |
| iceroot | acicula: not working with windows by default, so its useless | 17:19 |
| Milp_main | acicula: well i tried searching for it on aptitude and it couldnt find anything with my kernel version, only 2.6.31 and upwards | 17:19 |
| claytonwalker | threadmin: Thanks, I've tried drag-and-drop, and terminal commands (albiet on my Mac, seeing as I can't connect to ##apple) and both have failed me. You've saved me a lot of grief. | 17:19 |
| jaminc | geez, "1. Printer Driver for Linux (Debian) (2.90)" | 17:19 |
| iceroot | Milp_main: packages.ubuntu.com | 17:19 |
| acicula | Milp_main, are you using a stock kernel? | 17:19 |
| geez | I'll look again on the support site. I just looked on the drivers site. thnx. | 17:19 |
| Milp_main | acicula: no | 17:19 |
| jaminc | just search for "canon ip100 linux" | 17:20 |
| jaminc | that's all I did | 17:20 |
| acicula | Milp_main, then the headers wont be packaged either, you'll have to symlink the headers in /usr/include | 17:20 |
| Milp_main | iceroot: thanks, will search there | 17:20 |
| Milp_main | acicula: uuh what? | 17:20 |
| acicula | Milp_main, if you are using a custom kernel then you will not find the header files packaged for it, unless you run a custom version of a prepackaged kernel | 17:21 |
| mophead | Hi everyone, anyone else having trouble with ubuntu getting rid of all of their preferences? e.g. appearance, key combos...? | 17:21 |
| simmerz | hi. I've got a mpeg file but `file -i foo.mpg` shows it being read a application/octet-stream instead of video/mpeg. any ideas? | 17:21 |
| Milp_main | acicula: thats why im asking if there was an ubuntu version running version 2.6.29, so i could just use those headers for it, do you happen to know which version used it? | 17:21 |
| theadmin | mophead: Do you have full rwx access to your $HOME, I suppose? | 17:22 |
| saineyb | are u | 17:22 |
| unop | simmerz, file doesn't always get it right | 17:22 |
| robertskmiles | I'm having a problem with a segfault in mesa/libGL.so, google says people fix the problem by replacing it with nvidia/ati drivers, but I have intel integrated graphics, what can I replace mea with? | 17:22 |
| acicula | Milp_main, 9.04 shipped with .28 and karmic shipped with .31, so no | 17:23 |
| mophead | theadmin: sorry? | 17:23 |
| dngr | hey, i upgraded the kernel in ubuntu 10, now the windows option disappeared, i guess it doesnt recognize it as windows as its pgp encrypted.. how can i force it to boot the partition? | 17:23 |
| theadmin | mophead: What are the permissions on your home folder? | 17:23 |
| simmerz | unop: right, but the same command on an os x box gets it right. and it seems to be affecting a web app we've built that uses the OS mime type file to determine file type | 17:23 |
| Milp_main | acicula: hm where could i get a set of headers from then? | 17:23 |
| iceroot | Milp_main: kernel.org? | 17:23 |
| acicula | Milp_main, they are in the kernel source package you build from | 17:23 |
| acicula | if you make debs from the kernel source it should also package the headers i think? | 17:24 |
| unop | simmerz, file uses a 'magic' file which is a collection of signatures and properties about a file - different vendors populate it differently and it seems like apple have done better in this case | 17:24 |
| unop | simmerz, does the web app use apache? | 17:24 |
| Milp_main | iceroot: thanks acicula: well i didnt build the kernel myself, i dont think i can find the sources needed | 17:25 |
| acicula | Milp_main, if all this is confusing to you perhaps consider switching to prepackaged kernels for you? | 17:25 |
| simmerz | unop: it's a ruby on rails app running under mod_passenger, so yes | 17:25 |
| robertskmiles | simmerz: if the file plays fine, you count reencode it with mencoder or ffmpeg to get a file that file can understand | 17:25 |
| robertskmiles | s/count/could/ | 17:25 |
| Andrew129 | hi everyone. does anyone use amarok player? | 17:25 |
| NCS_One | I have a bluray in .mkv file when I play it lags, plays like slowmotion, do I need some codecs ? | 17:25 |
| Milp_main | acicula: thats not possible for that device, ubuntu only runs inside a chroot environment | 17:25 |
| simmerz | robertskmiles: what might cause it to show up wrong? a codec not understood maybe? | 17:26 |
| solow | I keep getting errors trying to install windows 7 on virtualbox. Anyone have any idea why? | 17:26 |
| iceroot | Milp_main: ah ok, thought it was a vanilla kernel | 17:26 |
| unop | simmerz, my guess is the .mpg wasn't created properly - with the right headers, etc. couldn't you use other properties such as file extensions? | 17:26 |
| robertskmiles | simmerz: no idea, presumabply wrong headers | 17:26 |
| iceroot | solow: ##windows ad #vbox | 17:26 |
| ubutom | NCS_One, maybe a player-issue | 17:26 |
| Milp_main | iceroot: nah, im trying to be able to compile things inside the chroo ubuntu env, so i dont have to cross compile, because thats the worst thing in the world to me | 17:26 |
| mophead | theadmin: all seems normal | 17:27 |
| acicula | Milp_main, yeah you'll have to get the sourcepackage that build your kernel(oogle), and then either manually setup the headers via symlinking, or package the kernel (!compile) as debs and install the headers as deb. | 17:27 |
| mophead | brb, let me reboot and see if that works | 17:27 |
| NCS_One | ubutom: I tryed de default player, mpayer and vcl | 17:27 |
| simmerz | unop: we could, but knowing the client they'd rename a .mov ;-) | 17:27 |
| acicula | as deb/ via dpkg | 17:27 |
| bcessa | hi there, this may be the most obvious question ever, but here it is anyway, I just install a server, everything working fine, but, how can I change the mysql host name from localhost to something more useful? | 17:27 |
| Milp_main | acicula: or could i just throw all the sources into the folder of the program i want to compile every time i want to compile something? (the lazy but messy way) | 17:27 |
| dngr | okidokia, does someone know how to boot a windows partition from the grub prompt? | 17:27 |
| acicula | Milp_main, well the build chain expects to find headers | 17:27 |
| unop | simmerz, I'm sure there are better ways to detect the file type - perhaps ffmpeg or mencoder have some detection mechanism | 17:28 |
| unop | ? | 17:28 |
| ubutom | NCS_One, have you got the commercial drivers installed for your gfx card? | 17:28 |
| acicula | you can set where it finds those headers to another location yes | 17:28 |
| iceroot | bcessa: mysql is not the localhost, your pc is localhost. | 17:28 |
| simmerz | unop: quite possibly. we're just doing a quick check | 17:28 |
| iceroot | bcessa: you have to add a name in /etc/hosts (dont change localhost) for an ip its listening on | 17:28 |
| robertskmiles | what is the alternative to mesa opengl for an intel integrated graphics card? | 17:29 |
| bcessa | iceroot: ic, someone suggest me to simply create a username with a different hostname value, is that the way to do it? | 17:29 |
| NCS_One | ubottu: yes | 17:29 |
| iceroot | bcessa: no | 17:29 |
| NCS_One | ubutom: yes | 17:29 |
| mophead | theadmin: reboot had no effect | 17:29 |
| bastidrazor | NCS_One: you ran mplayer from command line? mplayer is good about giving options/ reasons for slow play | 17:29 |
| iceroot | bcessa: go the way with /etc/hosts | 17:29 |
| ubutom | NCS_One, have you looked at cpu-load during playback? | 17:29 |
| NCS_One | ubutom: going to check it | 17:30 |

| Dr_Willis | Theres some spefific tweaks out there for flash with no audio | 17:49 |
| robertskmiles | Sorry to keep repeating this, but does anyone know the proprietary alternative to mesa openGL for intel integrated graphics cards, or where I can find that out? | 17:49 |

| mophead | Dr_Willis : k, I will keep looking for the answer. I was hoping there was one thing that worked for most people. | 17:50 |
| Dr_Willis | viperswan: you mean the gamepad moves the mouse around? | 17:50 |

| Dargon | is there any real difference between ubuntu server and regular ubuntu, cuz im an idiot and cant get kde and x to work right on server, and i likes me some GUI | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Dargon: differnt kernel i belive is the main diff. and the packages installed | 17:52 |
| Dr_Willis | if youw ant a GUI its better to install the desktp., then install the services you want.. then the other way around | 17:53 |
| Dargon | right | 17:53 |
| unop | Dargon, why can't you "get kde and x to work right" ? | 17:53 |
| Dargon | plus with a GUI, i can ask youguys for help while im actually in front of my server :D | 17:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Dargon: you did install 'kubuntu-desktop' package ? | 17:53 |
| Dargon | i forget the error, im not infront of it atm | 17:53 |

| MKM | hi.. | 17:55 |
| dotblank | viperswan, this probably involves xorg using the joystick this actually should not be default behaviour | 17:55 |

| uLinux | it's downloading at 113kbs | 17:58 |
| Dr_Willis | lucenut: if you have the virtualbox guest addons installed. then ive no other ideas. it could be a vbox limit. Check the vbox docs/forums | 17:59 |
| speart | it lists xen-tools as a dependency, but there isn't such package | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: clarify what you mean by migrate from X to Y? | 17:59 |
| lucenut | guest addons is in ubuntu? | 17:59 |

| lucenut | Can I verify that's installed by looking somewhere? | 17:59 |
| Dr_Willis | lucenut: virtualbox has sopecial drivers you install in the guest os to get maximum features. Check teh vbox docs for details | 17:59 |
| User01 | dr.Willis installing ubuntu on one laptop and running it on another | 17:59 |
| lucenut | "Guest OS" is windows? | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: you mean moveing the hd from one to antoher? | 18:00 |
| Izinucs | lucenut: every time you upgrade vbox you have to reinstall the guest additions then restart.. to go full screen try Right CTRL + F .. the same combination to return to a windowed vm | 18:00 |
| Dr_Willis | lucenut: No.. windows running vbox running linux.. windows is the HOST.. | 18:00 |
| ryann_ | Well, not 'still choose' but, be able to to choose. | 18:00 |

| User01 | ? | 18:01 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, means your desktop also freeze down or something other situation? | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Host runs Vbox.. vbox runs the Guest OS. | 18:01 |

| ryann_ | mkm: so if I installed Ubuntnu from a USB, i'd be able to choose which OS i want to boot? | 18:01 |
| Dargon | Dr_Willis: will it screw with kubuntu-desktop since i already apt-got kde and xinit? | 18:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetraz: i would say - the outlook is not good. | 18:01 |
| MKM | vishaltelangre: the application asks me to force quit... | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | Dargon: shouldent | 18:02 |
| User01 | dr_willis: from hdd to hdd using different systems | 18:02 |
| User01 | but the same hdd | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: you mean install to pc1, 'backup' and restore to pc2' | 18:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ? | 18:02 |
| Tetraz | Dr_Willis: okey..well I think i'm going to ditch this computer anyway | 18:02 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, which application, rythmbox? Had your rythmbox works when your iPod is not plugged w/ your machine? | 18:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetraz: via, and s3 and some of the 'not big players' videos cards are best avoided. :) | 18:03 |
| MKM | ryann_: yes the grub loader will show u the options at the time of ur boot and u can select ur choice there... | 18:03 |
| ryann_ | MKM: last I installed Ubuntu, Windows 7 wasn't there,, | 18:03 |
| Tetraz | Dr_Willis: yeah well this computer is already abit old so i think I will make a server of it instead | 18:04 |
| MKM | vishaltelangre: yes everything works fine, bt only if i want to sync songs it hangs and asks me to force quit... | 18:04 |

| ubutom | ryann_, win 7 bootloader will be availabe through grub menu, may appear as vista loader | 18:05 |
| Dr_Willis | viperswan: you mean you move the stick and the pointer moves? or what excatly? | 18:06 |
| VCoolio | jileen: somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/???.desktop/... | 18:06 |

| VCoolio | jileen: somewhere in ~/.mozilla/firefox/???.prfile/... | 18:06 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, yeah, this been a problem while you syncing your i-Devices w/ ubuntu.. One solution I found here: | 18:06 |
| carlosgaldino | Balgan: is it too slow when enconding the video? and i can't close it | 18:06 |
| MKM | ryann_: u might have probably formatted the entire memory.., this time create a partition in your windows the when u install ubuntu it will asks you to manualy set the space for the installation,then select the free space and install your ubuntu | 18:06 |
| User01 | dr_willis: I mean just a fresh install on pc1 and than swapping and running on pc2 since it overheats and I can't install purposes | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: that should work. Try it and see | 18:06 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: when you start installing special drivers, like for nvidia and ati, then that can cause issues with moveing the hd about | 18:07 |

| uLinux | Synaptic > Prefereces > Files > History: Keep history? What is this? History of what? | 18:07 |
| Dr_Willis | djveer: vlc. mplayer + the w32codecs and totem + proper pcakges can watch those I recall. BUT if you mean In the browser at apples homepage.. well that may be harder. | 18:08 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, I hope it'll might work w/ your machine if you've 9.04/9.10/10.04... | 18:08 |
| MKM | vishaltelangre: i use karmic.., same problem.., it just dips out..., any other soln..?? | 18:08 |
| Dr_Willis | djveer: there might be some extensions that let you download then watch the clips | 18:08 |
| uLinux | Synaptic > Preferences > Files > History: Keep history? History of what? | 18:08 |
| User01 | dr_willis: ubuntu installs those automatically right? | 18:08 |
| djveer | Dr_Willis: Thanks! | 18:08 |
| MKM | vishaltelangre: i ment.., i use 10.04..,lucid same problem.., it just dips out..., any other soln..?? | 18:08 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, had you tried the solution, which was posted in that article? | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: nvidia and ati - run the hardware-drivers tool. (or jockey-gtk) | 18:09 |
| ubutom | User01, I never had a problem swapping hds of different machines, though it was the standard kernel, switched hd from amd to intel board, and between old pcs that i used as server | 18:09 |
| Tetraz | what brand of laptops are usually the most compatible with linux platforms? | 18:09 |
| ulkn | ryann_: you should have an independent means to backup and restore the first couple of sectors of your disk, because things might go wrong. after all, ubuntu overwrites your mbr with grub... | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetraz: ive heard avoide toshiba | 18:10 |
| User01 | okay I will let the guy know who is fixing my computer it's more than possible | 18:10 |
| * Chriisti Hello Community | 18:10 | |
| ryann_ | ulkn: how can I prevent this? or at least have windows 7 loader pre-written (so to speak) in the grub loader. | 18:10 |
| User01 | he said he has a 25 dollar flat fee | 18:10 |
| ubutom | ryann_, you can choose the destination of grub at installation in a dialog called advanced or something like that, it's after partitioning iirc | 18:10 |
| Tetraz | Dr_Willis: hehe strange i've got a toshiba laptop that just works fine for me :) | 18:10 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: $25 to do what> move a hd from one pc to another? | 18:10 |
| ulkn | ryann_: does your windows 7 loader offer you the choice to boot other systems on other partitions? | 18:11 |
| uLinux | Synaptic > Preferences > Files > History: Keep history? History of what? | 18:11 |
| ryann_ | ubutom: yes, I'm aware of how it's installed, I've done it numerous times. | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetraz: even under windows - ive seen a great meny people with MAJOR issues with Toshibas - i dont plan on ever getting one any time soon. | 18:11 |
| ryann_ | ulkn: nope, straight into windows 7. | 18:11 |
| vishaltelangre | MKM, Hey there, this may work out, try: Easy Way To Sync Your iPhone / iPod Touch With Rhythmbox, Nautilus, Etc. In Ubuntu - http://goo.gl/dFf0 | 18:11 |
| User01 | so in your opinion even if he tried to install an os and failed should he still be charging me 25 bucks | 18:11 |
| ubutom | ryann_, win 7 will most certainly primary partition for it's loader, so you choose another location for grub | 18:11 |
| User01 | dr_willis: yes | 18:11 |
| ubutom | *most certainly use* | 18:11 |
| ryann_ | ubutom: you sure that's possible? | 18:12 |
| ubutom | did it several times ryann_ | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: installing ubuntu is rather trivial.. moving a HD from one desktop pc to antoher is also rather trivial.. :) | 18:12 |

| DCGstudios | Hey guys, Anyone know if a CUPS print server is going to be compatible with both windows and mac OS hosts? | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: and both are the kind of tasks you should learn... | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: 30 min to install.. 5 min to move.. perhaps.. | 18:12 |
| wessel | Dr_Willis, this "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet", I think it removed my power down button :( | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: but why not install on the other one to begin eith? | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | wessel: so? You cn still use the logout menu. or just reset the panels. | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !resetpanel | 18:13 |
| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | wessel: or add it back. | 18:13 |
| User01 | dr_willis: yes but he claims to be a 4 year student with a 25 dollar flat fee | 18:13 |
| erUSUL | DCGstudios: it should; ipp is a standar. and you could use samba too for the windows clients | 18:13 |
| ubutom | ryann_, you can use the root partition of linux, I think then this partition is made active, if not do it manually, can even be done with windows onboard tools | 18:13 |
| erUSUL | DCGstudios: Mac OS X uses cups too | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: i dont see why that matters in any way.. | 18:13 |
| ubutom | ryann_, I mean you can use the root partition for grub | 18:14 |
| ryann_ | ubutom: so, create a new partition for my ubuntu install, make it active, and then install ubuntu? | 18:14 |
| ubutom | ryann_, win7 should be untouched and unaware ;) | 18:14 |
| User01 | he hasn't tried this method if it fails I won't hold it against him | 18:14 |

| DCGstudios | urUSUL, oh okay, well i knew smb servers would be cross compatable with them all, but CUPS will work as well with the windows clients? | 18:14 |
| Dr_Willis | User01: I still dont see the point in the install, then move... | 18:14 |
| ryann_ | ubutom: okay, thanks for that. It's just, last time it nerfed my entire install, and getting all my files back was a pickle.. | 18:14 |
| ubutom | ryann_, I think the part of making active is done when you choose the linux partition for grub install automatically | 18:14 |

| Dr_Willis | help111: for what purpose? | 18:16 |
| mophead | OK everyone, Dr_Willis . I got the audio working by opening firefox and using about:config and about: plugins to completely sudo rm -f all of the version 9 flash. Then I installed flashplugin-installer and it worked! Details found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1469306&page=3 Thank you all again. | 18:17 |

| Dr_Willis | help111: you install Linxu to a linux filesystem.. ext2/3/4 normally | 18:18 |
| Dr_Willis | help111: you dont install to fat/ntfs or other windows filesystems. | 18:18 |
| uLinux | tks for not helping | 18:19 |
| ohir | User01: are you talkin about moving physical hdd or copying its content to another pc? | 18:19 |
| User01 | takeon everything except parting it out | 18:19 |

| Dr_Willis | User01: and give it a good cleaning also. | 18:19 |
| Dr_Willis | help111: linux can mouint and access ntfs.. yes. | 18:19 |
| User01 | drwillis thanks for the sugestion | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Help111: ntfs partitions are read and writable. You don't get ntfs drives ;) | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | !ntfs | help111 | 18:20 |
| ubottu | help111: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 18:20 |
| User01 | but I stuck it up to my ac still to no avail | 18:20 |

| vishaltelangre | help111, linux can read almost what are you seeing there in the drop-down list | 18:20 |
| ohir | User01: if machine overheats at os install time it will be overheating too at any more demanding task (as mp3/mpeg play) | 18:20 |
| Dr_Willis | help111: so now what? be a bit more clear in your questions | 18:20 |

| User01 | ohir the funny thing is it's not | 18:21 |
| ohir | User01: box realy need to be treated with compressed air can plus vacuum cleaner :) | 18:21 |
| Dr_Willis | help111: from windows you could just resize the windows partition and leave part of the HD unallocated. and boot the cd. and tell the installer to use the unalocated space.. it can auto partition and be working on the install in a matter of minets. | 18:21 |
| User01 | ohir lol tried a can of compressed air hehe ^^ | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Help111: if you are just starting a dual boot you should install windows to only a portion of the drive space and leave unpartitioned space for the other OSes. Saves having to mess around with resizing | 18:22 |
| vishaltelangre | help111: or you may free some space from your windows and use it to install your ubuntu | 18:23 |
| ohir | User01: I don't know then what might cause overheating at install time, install is not that computational power demanding task | 18:23 |
| ActionParsnip | User01: if your system is a branded thing or a laptop you may want to check if it has heat issues and how to fix it | 18:23 |
| User01 | ohir: yeah it is sketchy lolz | 18:24 |
| sparkie | hello i need a little help my boot loader must have messed up during install now when i boot i come up to a menu that says grub> is there a way to boot and fix ? | 18:24 |
| ohir | User01: to remember is: you can freely move ubuntu on hd as long as it is not set up with proprietary nvidia/ati drivers and is moved to same architecture | 18:24 |
| help111 | ActionParsnip: vishaltelangre Dr_Willis i have installed win7 already, even have kept 17gb for ubuntu n 3gb for swap.. now the question is it wud write the mbr | 18:24 |
| User01 | ohir: Ok | 18:24 |

| help111 | ActionParsnip: vishaltelangre Dr_Willis so how do i dual boot as the mbr wud b overwritten.. isnt it? or ubuntu wud create a dual boot menu ?? | 18:25 |

| ActionParsnip | Help111: makes reinstalls easier (as well as backups) | 18:26 |
| ohir | User01: if you would copy it after, you need to remember to rewrite your /etc/fstab and grub configuration old (normal and sane) style. Aka without UUIDS. | 18:26 |
| User01 | in the meantime I could use generic ones | 18:26 |

| ActionParsnip | Sparkie: boot to live cd and reinstall grub is one way | 18:29 |
| aucormie | sparkie...you may have to boot up witha livecd | 18:29 |
| aucormie | chroot into your root directory and run grub-reinstall /dev/sda | 18:30 |
| aucormie | let me see if I can find you good directions | 18:30 |
| sparkie | ActionParsnip: aucormie i have no way to boot the live cd i used a usb and my bios dont support booting it | 18:30 |
| User01 | if he's got an nv card and i have ati l will it sometimes autodetect hardware on boot | 18:30 |

| nerdy_kid | anyone know how to check a luks encrypted ext4 filesystem for errors? | 18:31 |
| derrick_ | will do it i believe | 18:31 |
| ubutom | User01, shouldn't be much of a problem | 18:31 |
| aucormie | sparkie: it may be possible, but its really hard and very specific to your configuration | 18:31 |
| sl0ppy | how does ubuntu configure itself to handle various hardware during boot? does it autodetect hardware and load modules like knoppix? | 18:32 |
| aucormie | liveCD is only sure way | 18:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Derrick_: make a script which takes args ;) makes life easier if you use it a lot of times | 18:32 |
| User01 | ubutom okay I'll be all smiles then lol | 18:32 |
| User01 | thanks guys | 18:32 |
| ubutom | sl0ppy, think it's a pretty generic kernel and the drivers are autodetected | 18:32 |
| viperswan | hiya everyone. i was wondering if anyone could help me witha quick and hopefully simple question.. I have a usb logitech gamepad/joystick and i'd like to be able to use it without emulating the mouse. everytime i plug it in it functions properly but it also takes over mouse functions, any idea how to prevent this behaviour? thank you in advance for your help. | 18:32 |
| derrick_ | ActionParsnip, would, but I don't script bash | 18:32 |
| sl0ppy | i'm always wondering how it does the driver loading | 18:32 |
| User01 | :P | 18:33 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what gamepad viperswan has - so he can get one to let him controll the mouse via a gamepad.. | 18:34 | |
| erUSUL | sl0ppy: the kernel does the hardware detection and loading of modules in most cases | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Derrick_: instead of yourvid use $1 and instead of youraudio use $2 and instead of output use $3 in a bash script. You can call it something like foo, you can now run: foo vid audio output ,and the filenames will be used in the script | 18:34 |
| === The_Thing|Laptop is now known as \The_Thing\ | ||

| ulkn | Guest54854: adobe flash is known broken. if you can't live without flash, the correct solution for you is to use windows | 18:35 |

| ActionParsnip | Dr_willis: 64bit native linux flash isn't too shabby support in my book | 18:37 |

| piyushmishra | Pici: lol its too funny | 18:52 |
| RunnerGeek | rakesh, you only have to put in your password when you do administrative actions, it is a good thing as it protects your system | 18:52 |
| Pici | piyushmishra: Its not on-topic for this channel. | 18:52 |
| piyushmishra | Pici: I understand sorry | 18:52 |
| rakesh | <RunnerGeek> ok , i got it,,, but still i want to login as a root and see wat all i can do more in my system... i just wat to give a try... | 18:53 |
| help111 | wat should b selected as mount point? as /boot or /home or wat? | 18:53 |
| adaro | rakesh: Sudo su | 18:54 |
| RunnerGeek | rakesh, you can't do "more" you just won't be asked for passwords | 18:54 |
| rakesh | <RunnerGeek> oh ok ok!!!! | 18:54 |
| Pici | adaro, rakesh: sudo su is redundant, use sudo -i or sudo -s, depending on what you want to do. | 18:54 |
| rakesh | by the way wats the default password for root?? | 18:54 |
| help111 | hey anyone? mount point while installating? / or /boot or /home or wat? | 18:54 |

| RunnerGeek | but having a /home isn't bad | 18:55 |
| Jordan_U | help111: I think you are probably better off going with the guided partitioning. | 18:55 |
| rakesh | oh wow!!!! ok ... today in class my professor told me that there is a username called "sa" and its password is also "sa" thru which v can login is it true in ubuntu??? | 18:55 |
| RunnerGeek | if you make your own /home can easily do a fresh reinstall and not loose your stuff | 18:56 |

| help111 | Jordan_U: chcking. . | 18:56 |
| rakesh | <RunnerGeek> hmmmm | 18:56 |
| Pici | rakesh: That sounds like you are talking about some rdbms (database) software, not Ubuntu. | 18:56 |
| RunnerGeek | need-help, no; phpmyadmin is a web based administrative tool for mySQL | 18:57 |
| rakesh | <Pici> no no!!!! he clearly told its there in linux | 18:57 |
| kriss3d | Dang. Aparently when i try to boot in recovery mode the text is nothing but alot of small colored squares in the top of my screen. i have to guess my way to log in. what could be wrong ? | 18:57 |
| resno | need-help: what do you mean create html? you can copy your page into ahtml file. | 18:57 |
| adaro | rakesh: Are you sure he wasnt talking about the database | 18:57 |
| Jordan_U | rakesh: He was probably talking about your schools particular setup either way. | 18:57 |
| Pici | rakesh: Then you should talk to him about it, as there is no sa user on Ubuntu (or any Linux distro I have used personally). | 18:57 |
| rafaelsoaresbr | The_Blob, thanks, '-x' seems to work, I want to move /var to another location. | 18:57 |
| help111 | Jordan_U: so wat is guided partitioning? | 18:58 |
| rakesh | <adaro> no.... he told when v forget the root username and pwd also v can use this and gain accesss to system | 18:58 |
| RunnerGeek | need-help, you can create an html page with any editor (gedit, vi, emacs) | 18:58 |
| help111 | Jordan_U: i have my partitiosn ready 2 install .. jst wanted 2 know wat /home mount as means actually . | 18:58 |

| sogeking99 | can anyone help me with this problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504642 | 18:59 |
| RunnerGeek | need-help, this isn't really an ubuntu question, you should discuss how to upload html files with your host | 19:00 |
| resno | sogeking99: can you state the problem, i doubt anyones going to follow a link | 19:00 |
| acicula | ulkn, weak passwords are always a problem, you cant fix ssh to not allow users with a simple password | 19:00 |
| help111 | RunnerGeek: n the grub wud automatiaclly detect my win7? | 19:00 |

| sogeking99 | well i installed the newest ATI drivers and rebooted, this may or may not be related to my issues. but since then things have been going slow. for example if i click and drag a window around it is really slow and jumpy. | 19:00 |
| sogeking99 | also i updated compiz for some reason i cant change my compiz settings with the manager, all the check boxes are faded. and whether im on compiz or metacity the windowas have annoying animations. | 19:00 |

| need-help | RunnerGeek, uploading html page as index.php so that world wide can brows ? | 19:02 |
| frxstrem | pleasuredom: also, if you're converting to MP3, you would want to have libmp3lame installed too | 19:02 |
| acicula | RunnerGeek, a password policy focusses on passwords not ssh ;). but yeah keys are a good measure. There are more ways to root then just ssh though, so it still pays to set proper passwords to begin with | 19:02 |
| sogeking99 | can anyone help me with this? | 19:02 |
| RunnerGeek | need-help, you need to discuss that with your host | 19:02 |
| ev350 | hay, im new to linux, im sorta getting there ^^ im just wonderin how do you compile a .py fle in the terminal? | 19:02 |
| RunnerGeek | acicula, well right, but with a password policy you can prevent weak passwords | 19:02 |
| xand__ | hello everyone, there is this amsn port test tool which tells me whether these ports are ok for use with it. Is there another app i can do this sort of testing ? Already tried "nc -v -z -w2" on the ports and they do not show, even if they are ok | 19:03 |

| ActionParsnip | Solow: can you ping the ssh serving system? | 19:07 |
| solow | profxavier, I'm doing something odd here. I've installed virtualbox, with windows 7 on a machine. now I'm trying to use my host OS as server. so trying to log in with putty from windows :p | 19:07 |
| profxavier | solow, when installing packages, if things dont go the way they should, its pretty helpful to install via command line, to see the errors and work with them... | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Kriss3d: what video card? | 19:07 |
| Guest16124 | I am willing to make the complete switch to linux if and only if there is a equivlent to peer block | 19:07 |
| profxavier | solow, you are using putty on your windows 7 machine and ubuntu has sshd installed and running ? | 19:08 |
| RunnerGeek | solow, you need to install ssh-server on the server | 19:08 |
| profxavier | thx RunnerGeek | 19:08 |

| inveratulo | if you do a -r (don't do this!) it will pull down some other stuff | 19:10 |
| h0rnman | kreppnar: you will also need to install MTPFS (or whatever the MTP filesystem package is) | 19:10 |
| resno | jamil_1: this isnt a ubuntu issue, i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:10 |
| RunnerGeek | solow, sort of, any time you open a service you open up for possible risk. SSH is fairly safe and used on millions of server around the world | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Solow: just keep root disabled (default in ubuntu) and you are fine | 19:10 |
| ColMustard | hello | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Rafaelsoresbr: mv name newname | 19:10 |
| RunnerGeek | solow, I would recommend setting to a non default port, using iptables to restrict what clients can connect and setting the config to be secure, also using keys instead of passwords | 19:11 |
| frxstrem | solow: as long as you use a secure password and stuff (common sense), it should not be a big risk (although it's a little tiny risk) | 19:11 |
| jamil_1 | resno: I think it is perhaps ubuntu related issue because It was working fine before upgrading to 10.04 | 19:11 |
| ScoobyDoo | I'm going to install python 3.0, Do I need to uninstall the previous version or keep them both? | 19:11 |
| RunnerGeek | ScoobyDoo, you can do both | 19:11 |
| resno | jamil_1: so why didnt you say that? | 19:11 |
| profxavier | solow, research creating keys, some say its easy [i dont personally], and use keys [rather than passwords] | 19:11 |
| solow | I have a password like: h62rYbQM *it's not it, but the same layout* | 19:11 |

| kreppnar | h0rnman: so it pretty much mounted it as a mass storage device, and you were able to just drag and drop files into folders? | 19:14 |

| theadmin | Any ways to make GRUB boot an ISO? | 19:15 |
| insider | is 10.04 better than 9.10, worth to upgrade? | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Theadmin: grub2 can. Grub cannot afaik | 19:16 |
| jamil_1 | resno: can you propose any solution ? | 19:16 |
| resno | insider: sure | 19:16 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: grub2 I have. | 19:16 |
| h0rnman | kreppnar: not by default. The problem is that Ubuntu /does/ mount it as Mass Storage. Unfortunately, MTP requires a specific method of access for the device to recognize what you are sending to it (for this example, I have a Creative ZEN), and if you just copy files over in Mass Storage mode, the player won't recognize the file. You need to unmount the device as a Mass Storage device, and remount is as a proper MTP device | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | Insider: if 9.10 is working for you then i'd keep it. Its supported until april next year so there's life in it yet | 19:16 |
| iceroot | insider: never touch a running system | 19:17 |

| h0rnman | kreppnar: I don't have the script, but my hack was to grab a list of devices via 'lsusb' then grep for the line that contains 'MTP', then use AWK to separate device ID and BUS ID , then finally use gvfs-mount -u (i think) to unmount the device, and 'gvfs-mount MTP' (or something similar) to remount it as a MTP device | 19:19 |

| iceroot | RunnerGeek: we dont need "is better then" | 19:21 |
| resno | StaRetji: a bit more detail would go a long way in getting help | 19:21 |
| theadmin | gah | 19:21 |
| xomp | iceroot, got it with bsd-mailx thanks :) | 19:21 |

| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 19:22 |
| iceroot | xomp: ah ok | 19:22 |
| RunnerGeek | ActionParsnip, have you ever used mail before? | 19:22 |
| RunnerGeek | very basic | 19:22 |
| solow | ActionParsnip, the default appears to contain, alphabetical symbols... | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Runnergeek: if basic is required then its ideal | 19:22 |
| RunnerGeek | bah | 19:22 |
| StaRetji | resno: thx dude, I was advised to install bootchart to see what's holding boot process. I tried installing bootchart via apt-get (live usb system with persistent storage) and it hanged the pc. I rebooted and now I'm stuck in a loop, can't use apt-get anymore, just dpkg --configure -a | 19:22 |
| iceroot | RunnerGeek: and comes with every normal system (dont know why it is missing in lucid) | 19:22 |

| Guest88080 | can i ask questions ? | 19:23 |
| iceroot | !ask | Guest88080 | 19:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Runnergeek: if you grab a hosts file from a windows machine after immunising with spybot search and destroy it can hep a lot. You can stay safe online by avoiding "dodgy" sites | 19:23 |
| ubottu | Guest88080: 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. :-) | 19:23 |

| theadmin | Pici: He was looking for mailx | 19:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Runnergeek: the quality of an app needs to be compared against requirements as well as taste. Many people think firefox is the best browser wheras I think it is garbage. Just like there is no best browser or best OS, there is no best mail program | 19:25 |
| Guest88080 | how can i adjust the volume of twinkle | 19:25 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Firefox might be a meh yeah but garbage? Come on... It's not that bad really :/ | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Runnergeek: so you saying mutt is better than mail is moot as the user may actively use mail already and find it absolutely fine | 19:26 |
| kriss3d | ActionParsnip, sorry i had to help my daughter.. its an ATI 2600 card | 19:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Theadmin: I really hate it | 19:26 |
| xand__ | hello everyone, there is this amsn port test tool which tells me whether these ports are ok for use with it. Is there another app i can do this sort of testing ? Already tried "nc -v -z -w2" on the ports and they do not show, even if they are ok | 19:26 |
| clarnist | hello guys | 19:26 |
| RunnerGeek | well as a client it is better, but mail is more designed to be able to pipe files into it | 19:27 |
| Guest94362 | is ubuntu 64bit stable | 19:27 |
| iceroot | ActionParsnip: if you dont like firefox, try iceweasel :) | 19:27 |

| clarnist | i update kde to 4.5 beta and it's actualise me a qtcreator to version 2 | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Iceroot: I use arora and chromium daily | 19:27 |
| theadmin | Guest94362: It is stable but it has problems with certain stuff like flash | 19:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Theadmin: indeed :) | 19:27 |
| Nuboon2Age | Guest16124: Sure, no prob. I found it by going to http://alternativeto.net/desktop/peerblock-/ | 19:27 |
| Guest94362 | which flash is to use | 19:27 |
| RunnerGeek | you can say something is better if it is designed to do something where the other isn't really designed for it | 19:27 |
| frxstrem | is it possible to add an option to the GRUB menu that would allow me to boot up Ubuntu without starting the graphical interface (only command line)? | 19:27 |
| theadmin | ActionParsnip: Compare with IE and you'll know what I mean by 'not that bad' | 19:27 |
| kriss3d | ActionParsnip, ty ill try that.. its quite odd.. im in ubuntu now.. works fine. but when i boot the login screen is all garbled and small.. but once im inside it works like a charm.. it was all the suddenly | 19:27 |
| Guest88080 | theadmin :how can i adjust the volume of my twinkle | 19:28 |
| RunnerGeek | frxstrem, disable gdm | 19:28 |
| clarnist | when I start it they send http://pastebin.com/hiLgNaHA | 19:28 |
| iceroot | RunnerGeek: ok and now lets stop this "is better then" or lets take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 19:28 |
| theadmin | Guest88080: No idea what twinkle even is | 19:28 |
| Nuboon2Age | Guest16124: http://alternativeto.net/ is pretty useful that way | 19:28 |

| derrick_ | Hello, I actrually got my vid created, but for some reason it created 20 audio streams! how do I get rid of these | 19:32 |
| RunnerGeek | Balgan, you don't want to/can't really have an IDS, honeypot, on the same machine as your real server | 19:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94362: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ,flash is yours | 19:33 |
| RunnerGeek | the IDS needs to be in between the server and router | 19:33 |
| === derrick_ is now known as pcfreak30 | ||
| RunnerGeek | a honeypot should be on a different network entirely | 19:33 |
| Balgan | yeah RunnerGeek they will be running on separate networks etc even though it will all be runnign on ESX | 19:33 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest94362: make sure you remove gnash and swfdec if you have it | 19:33 |
| RunnerGeek | oh ok | 19:33 |
| ScoobyDoo | I've installed python3-tk but I still can't use from tkinter import ttk | 19:33 |

| nullp0inter | for some reason source ~/.bash_profile doesnt carry over to new tabs that i open up, and i have to re run that command each time. how can i fix this? | 19:53 |

| blackxored | bolster, still I can connect but I cannot find users | 19:53 |
| blackxored | nullp0inter, .bashrc is sourced and /etc/profile not .bash_profile i believe by default | 19:54 |
| the_file | are there keyloggers for ubuntu?. | 19:54 |
| nullp0inter | blackxored: is it safe to put my definitions in .bashrc? | 19:54 |
| the_file | or is the kernel too secured for that | 19:54 |
| blackxored | nullp0inter, yes it's safe, but you can also source it to another file under your home to categorize settings | 19:55 |
| blackxored | something like if [ -f ~/.bash_<something>; then . ~/.bash_<something>; fi | 19:55 |
| Slart | the_file: there are keyloggers, so no | 19:55 |
| nullp0inter | blackxored: that makes sense, so i can just use that inside .bashrc...thanks! | 19:55 |
| blackxored | nullp0inter, as a golden rule you're safe to touch things under $HOME, but stay away of /etc ;) | 19:55 |

| Igorov | how I can upgrade my ubuntu to 10.04 | 20:02 |
| Igorov | from 9.04 | 20:02 |
| blackxored | i installed yesterday, so i assume yes | 20:02 |
| Igorov | directly? | 20:02 |
| blackxored | Igorov, update-manager -d | 20:02 |
| Igorov | but | 20:02 |
| Igorov | this is to 9.10 | 20:02 |
| Xetrov` | on a default server 10.04 install, it seems universe repos is already enabled? | 20:02 |
| blackxored | bolster, i still don't see you | 20:02 |
| solow | I have my taskbar back :p | 20:02 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: A "peristent" install is an odd beast. It't only persistent for things that are read after the kernel and initrd have been loaded. So if you do something that requires the initrd to be updated, which persistence alone won't allow, you'll get problems since the old initrd will be used | 20:02 |
| Daekdroom | Igorov, you can't do it directly. | 20:02 |
| darkkilla | I've some annoying bug in /etc/bash_completion.d/cowsay ... everytime a bash gets started I get an annoying syntax error stating "unknown word `kn' in line 12"... the file has this on line 12: "case $prev kn" (without the quotes)... can someone show me the content of their file (I'm using 10.04 x86_64) or will it be sufficent if I only change it to "case $prev in kn"? | 20:03 |
| bolster | blackxored have you started it up before or is this the first execution? sometimes skype is a bit shitty about dealinging with no-info under $home | 20:03 |
| blackxored | bolster, what's wrong with this skype, do I have to pay to make test messages? | 20:03 |
| blackxored | bolster, yes I've | 20:03 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: I recommend just doing a regular install to the flash drive instead. | 20:03 |
| Igorov | Daekdroom: but if I have the 9.10 repository | 20:03 |
| blackxored | bolster, you said you added me but i dont' see you here, i'll re-login | 20:03 |
| bolster | blackxored you should still be clear for skype-to-skype calls and messages, so that should be a problem | 20:04 |
| Daekdroom | Igorov, then you're going to break your system | 20:04 |
| StaRetji | Jordan_U: thx mate, unfortunately, it is not an option | 20:04 |
| blackxored | bolster, clear? | 20:04 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: Why not? | 20:04 |
| StaRetji | Jordan_U: most probably, I'l have to reinstall | 20:04 |
| Igorov | Daekdroom: ok | 20:04 |
| bolster | blackxored free :) | 20:04 |
| Igorov | Daekdroom: thanks | 20:04 |
| StaRetji | Jordan_U: beacuse USB stick can't last longer that 2-3 month if it is not live with persistant | 20:04 |

| justin_ | question : if i upgrade through the update installer to 10.04 LTS from 9.1 will it wipe my hard drive? | 20:05 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: To get your 'persistent' install working again just delete all of the system files from the casper-rw partition. | 20:05 |
| Xetrov` | anyone know why im getting "Couldnt find package build-essential" even though the universe repository seems to be enabled? | 20:05 |
| StaRetji | Jordan_U: you mean, if I delete all files from casper-rw it will boot like first time, no changes? | 20:06 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: new install? have you run apt-get update? | 20:06 |
| tonyyarusso | Xetrov`: build-essential is in main actually. | 20:06 |

| bolster | blackxored Check the Proxy setting in Advanced in the options, make sure its automatic proxy detection, and maybe change the port | 20:07 |
| tonyyarusso | Anyone know how to find which package provides a particular perl module? 'apt-cache search' sometimes succeeds, but not always. | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: You're welcome. | 20:07 |
| bolster | blackxored to anything | 20:07 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: what does "apt-cache search essential" return? | 20:07 |
| Jordan_U | StaRetji: Just remember that you can't do any upgrades / changes that require a new kernel or initrd | 20:07 |

| Xetrov` | ok i greped build, comes back with build-essential | 20:08 |
| Xetrov` | used all lower | 20:08 |
| StaRetji | Jordan_U: I understand, though I've changed intridr.img few times, when I was changing splash image, but that was done manually. Here I don't know how to clear apt to become available again | 20:09 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: can you pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update; apt-cache search build-essential; sudo apt-get install build-essential" ? | 20:09 |
| Xetrov` | ok i think i got it | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | tonyyarusso: apt-file search is probably usefull for that | 20:09 |
| Guest50030 | hello folks, i can test posts for msn usage thru amsn, is there i way i can do this with another app (maybe command mode) ? | 20:09 |
| tonyyarusso | Jordan_U: What's the naming syntax I'm looking for? | 20:09 |
| Xetrov` | apt-get install drbd8-utils drbd8-module-source \ | 20:09 |
| Xetrov` | had a space after the \ and before build-essential | 20:10 |
| Xetrov` | whats the \ do? | 20:10 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: lets you do a new line without it affecting the command | 20:10 |
| Xetrov` | ok so really it wasnt needed | 20:11 |
| Xetrov` | i could have just skipped it | 20:11 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: nope | 20:11 |
| Xetrov` | ok thanks | 20:11 |
| Slart | Xetrov`: yes | 20:11 |

| mat619 | hi there! I need some help with my Thinkpad T41 - since I installed 10.04 (or it upgraded to the latest kernel, I'm unsure which was the cause since I installed only a few days ago) I can't execute "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" anymore because the module doesn't exist. I have to do that in order to get USB storage devices to work because my Thinkpad's USB ports are somewhat broken and work only with USB 1.1. Any ideas what to do? It drives me nuts! | 20:13 |

| rrodrigo | speaking portugues? | 20:21 |
| Pici | tonyyarusso: I think some of what you are looking for is installed in the perl-modules package in lucid, the rest is in cpan, you may be able to use those package listings along with apt-file to see if such a package is availabe in our repos. | 20:21 |
| edbian | yariv, What feature? It being in the repos? I doubt it. Is there software in the repos that does this? | 20:21 |

| Windpoison | Hey! Finally got IRC working on my ubuntu 9.04 laptop | 20:23 |
| edbian | yariv, I don't think you're aware that you can already SMS with skype on linux. Just grab the skype dynamic package from the site. You don't eve have to compile it. | 20:23 |
| blackxored | bolster, still won't see you, no proxy selected, mapping rule, all outbound allowed, inbound for skype port also allowed | 20:23 |
| bsmith093 | is there a way to tweak the dependencies of a package from the repos | 20:24 |
| wng- | Guys, i followed the instructions in the Ubuntu server guide in 10.04 to enable IP Masquerading, now I can't ssh into my machine? how can i enable this? | 20:24 |
| edbian | bsmith093, No | 20:24 |
| ubutom | drizzt_, I run it atm and it's fine :P | 20:24 |
| drizzt_ | lol, so that bug will lie there as NEW for a couple years | 20:24 |
| bsmith093 | that was fast are you sure | 20:24 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Absolutely positive. Unless you re-write the software to not use the packages it needs it's impossible. | 20:25 |
| bsmith093 | well can i force 2 packages to install that would normally remove each other | 20:25 |
| bolster | blackxored still cant see anyone either? | 20:25 |
| blackxored | bolster, no | 20:25 |
| drizzt_ | anyway how to control antialiasing in LXDE? gnome-appearance-properties doesn't work for some reason | 20:25 |
| bsmith093 | for example gnome-games and same gnome | 20:25 |
| darkkilla | just fixed my bash_completion bug... looks like someone made a typo... instead of "case $prev in" the person responsible typed "case $prev kn" ;) | 20:25 |

| edbian | bsmith093, Well what package do you want to tweak (and what dependencies) ? | 20:26 |
| bolster | blackxored end of my expertise bro; you've checked your network, and you've got the right version, and its logging in correctly, so I have no idea dude. | 20:26 |
| blackxored | bolster, that only happens if I search from the main window typing the name | 20:27 |
| drizzt_ | Windpoison, is it bash you're using? | 20:27 |
| bsmith093 | the same-gnome package was removed from the repos, i found it in the januty repos, but it wont insytall without removing gnome-games on lucid is there a way around this | 20:27 |
| KaiForce | i want to create a script that will mount an external drive, then share it with SMB. Possible? I know how to mount the drive, I just need to know if I can create an SMB share from the command line | 20:27 |
| Windpoison | drizzt, I am pretty sure, anyway to make sure, I am a linux newbie. | 20:28 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Are you mixing repos and versions? What version are you running? | 20:28 |
| bsmith093 | lucid | 20:28 |
| pehden | Windpoison does your critical battery alert come one when you disconnect from the ac charger on your laptop | 20:28 |
| edbian | bsmith093, with what repos? | 20:28 |
| bsmith093 | the lucid repos | 20:28 |
| edbian | bsmith093, don't do that. ah ha | 20:29 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Basically you run into the problem you're facing now. | 20:29 |
| Windpoison | pehden, I do not have a battery for my laptop | 20:29 |
| edbian | bsmith093, oh wait. Read that wrong. | 20:29 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Sorry if I confused you there. Thought you were running lucid with jaunty repos or something (which is just insane) | 20:29 |
| lucenut | I am on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 PC with Ubuntu running in Virtualbox. How can I connect to the windows file system from ubuntu? | 20:30 |

| edbian | bsmith093, What's wrong with the gnome-games on 10.04 ? | 20:30 |
| bolster | blackxored did you try to call the test-caller? | 20:30 |
| sebsebseb | Hi | 20:30 |
| bolster | blackxored even if it appears offline? | 20:30 |
| drizzt_ | lucenut, install filezilla in WIndows and use FTP | 20:30 |
| bsmith093 | i like swell foop, but its insanely slow | 20:30 |
| lucenut | I tried creating a "Shared Folder" in the virtualbox settings. | 20:30 |
| edbian | bsmith093, What is swell floop? A game? | 20:30 |
| Balgan | lucenut, activate samba shares and put the VM in the same network as the host | 20:30 |
| bsmith093 | yes basic block removing game | 20:30 |
| lucenut | Pointed it to C:\ with full access. | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | lucenut: try #vbox | 20:31 |
| bsmith093 | it was caled same-gnome in jaunty, the version in lucid is really slow | 20:31 |
| drizzt_ | Ubuntu doesn't work with Vista+ network, if you don't know that already | 20:31 |
| sebsebseb | lucenut: plus can get a good manual from them the website | 20:31 |
| Slart | lucenut: I think you can share folders using the virtualbox software.. then those folders end up somewhere in the network structure.. at least that's the way it works for windows guest on linux host | 20:31 |

| bolster | blackxored I'm not really in a location with a skypable network connection, put it that way, :D so the audio is sucking on my test call but the test call doesnt appear online until you interact with it.

| Berxwedan | using ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 and the latest flash | 20:33 |
| Slart | nhasian: there is a pdf editor you can use but it's kind of clunky.. generally speaking you're not supposed to edit pdfs.. but they are plain text files.. so gedit should work | 20:33 |
| lucenut | Nor do I understand how to "activate samba shares". :-( | 20:33 |

| sebsebseb | electhor: How does it not work? | 20:34 |
| Balgan | Flar what problems are u getting ? | 20:34 |
| guntbert | lucenut: you have a problem with virtualbox (and not so with ubuntu) -- the support channel for virtualbox is #vbox -- type /join #vbox and ask there | 20:34 |
| Slart | drizzt_: uhm.. I've got an mini-itx server with 9.10 talking to windows 7 machines right now.. I supposed those secret settings were included in the ubuntu package because I sure don't remember doing much to make it work | 20:34 |
| Berxwedan | i've both a very powerful cpu and a gpu Windpoison | 20:34 |
| zanberdo | nhasian, I'd read recently that the latest OOo will let you edit pdfs | 20:34 |
| edbian | bsmith093, Did it run faster with those turned off? | 20:34 |
| bsmith093 | no | 20:34 |
| nhasian | zanberdo, really? cool i guess i'll try that first then :) | 20:34 |
| Windpoison | Berxwedan: Is it slow loading or lagging? | 20:34 |
| drizzt_ | Slart, are you on drugs? PDF are *encoded* files, so the only thing you can do in gedit is to corrupt them | 20:34 |
| Berxwedan | Windposion: both | 20:34 |
| zanberdo | nhandler, and pdf is actually not plain text, that's ps. pdf is encoded ps so I don't expect gedit would do you any good (IIRC) | 20:35 |
| Berxwedan | it's always loading slowly, and also lags in 720p 1080p | 20:35 |
| zanberdo | nhasian, check it out with OOo and let us all know! :) | 20:35 |
| sebsebseb | Flar: How does it not work? | 20:35 |
| Flar | Balgan: I try to install safe programs as pidgin, msn, volume control, but it always says that cannot install as the packages are untrusted | 20:35 |

| uLinux | I hate this monitor bug > http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/5895/bugeb.jpg < How can I fix it? | 20:35 |

| Slart | drizzt_: nope.. not on drugs.. the text content of pdfs are plain text.. have a look at a simple pdf | 20:36 |
| bsmith093 | i didnt think it was possible to edit pdf with OSS software, or anything for that matter, you MIGHT be able to convert it using any one of a million free sites | 20:36 |
| Windpoison | Berxwedan: Mine lags in the high quality too, but slow loading could be a slow network. Do you know your network's average speed? | 20:36 |
| bolster | blackxored: try the skype pidgin plugin and see if it works that way *running out of ideas* | 20:36 |
| blackxored | bolster, it just launches skype, I did that already | 20:36 |

| sebsebseb | mat619: Whcih version of Ubuntu? | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | skulski: If you installed it from a package then it should follow the normal scheme, and should be included by update-grub. Are you sure it isn't? | 20:47 |
| mat619 | sebsebseb: 10.04. I'm pretty sure it's the USB 2.0 again since my USB ports are shot due to a faulty southbridge chip. I have to disable USB 2.0 in order to get it working, but i have no clue how to do that | 20:48 |
| drizzt_ | ivo_, compiz is extremally unreliable, you should remove it if it causes problems | 20:48 |
| skulski | Jordan_U:: it does follow that naming scheme, but on my last update i no longer had it as an entry | 20:48 |

| Jordan_U | Whammo: The reason that the firmware is needed is that the device doesn't store it in non volitile memory, it needs to be loaded onto the card for the card to function | 20:58 |

| Jordan_U | Gryllida: The list of known hosts is stored in ~/.ssh/known_hosts by default the host names are hashed for security, so it can be hard to tell which entry corrosponds to the server you want to remove | 21:45 |

| wildbat | yosi you can't just do "/" it will include your dev proc and your mount point. you need exclude dir | 21:46 |

| ianwizard | Hello everyone. | 21:46 |
| ubottu | yosi: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 21:46 |

| mfpcokets | lighta: my res is 1920*1080 now, but when i play the file im getting lots of lost frames like the netbook cannot handle it. they didnt work in windows without a plugin installed which reduced the sys requirements for 720p vids | 21:46 |
| Jordan_U | Gryllida: If you don't have any other server's credentials saved that you can't lose then just "rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts" | 21:47 |

| ubottu | mick02: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:49 |
| Jordan_U | paddy_: Use photorec, it does basically the same thing but slightly more sophisticated and much more well tuned | 21:49 |
| ianwizard | I've got a bug that I'm tired of putting up with. Hopefully someone here can help me ;) When I use the inhibit applet, it doesn't stop my comp from suspending when I close the lid. Everything is done through gnome-power-manager, and this doesn't happen with the live cd. (it's 10.04 ofcourse) does anybody know what might cause this, or how to fix it? | 21:50 |
| paddy_ | you need to give photorec a partition which i do not have | 21:50 |
| mick02 | Sheesh, so much for lightening the mood. | 21:50 |
| drizzt_ | yosi, theoretically you can, but most tar frontends doesnt support it | 21:50 |

| mick02 | I'm looking to set up a VOD system in my friends house. I've taken a look online and other than ffmpeg there doesn't seem to be anything. Can anyone suggest a solution? | 21:52 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: no, i do not have an Iphone, and don't know how to mount one, but I know that it can be done with linux | 21:52 |
| Njh | does anyone have a recommendation on a tutorial or something on how to set up a server | 21:53 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: also, you might be able to import the video with Itunes. | 21:53 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: and then transfer it. | 21:53 |
| ninjai | true. | 21:54 |
| mick02 | Njh: Check out HowToForge.com | 21:54 |
| Jordan_U | paddy_: Try choosing "none" for the partition table type. How did you get to this point in the first place? | 21:54 |
| justinh | mick02: not heard of XBMC/mythtv/boxee/moovida then? ;-) | 21:54 |
| ninjai | ianwizard: true. hm. any idea how i can pass my iphone through to itunes on a VM? | 21:54 |
| justinh | mick02: not forgetting VLC of course | 21:55 |
| mick02 | justinh: Will I be able to stream from a central headless server to multiple clients using those solutions? | 21:55 |
| MKM | Njh : http://www.freeos.com/articles/4121/ | 21:55 |
| justinh | mick02: a server just has to host files to shares which clients mount... so sure | 21:55 |
| Jordan_U | ninjai: Why do you want ituntes? rhythmbox (the default in Ubuntu) should be able to transfer to and from your iPhone | 21:56 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: you could use VirtualBox and connect it as a usb device. However, I thought that you could get Itunes for linux... | 21:56 |
| crypt-0 | drizzt_, can i PM you? | 21:56 |
| vlt | MKM: Thank you. Can you help me translate the wiki tutorial? What does "Please note: you might need to restart the Rythmbox for it to recognize the album art on the newly uploaded tracks" mean? | 21:56 |
| mick02 | justinh: Not really though, the server will have to encode the files to get them ready for streaming. I was hoping to set up an IPTV box in each room | 21:56 |
| ninjai | jordan_U: rhythmbox wont transfer video. | 21:56 |
| drizzt_ | crypt-0, why? i'm not exactly ssh expert | 21:56 |
| ninjai | ianwizard: nope you definitely cannot. | 21:56 |
| MKM | Njh : http://www.aboutdebian.com/internet.htm | 21:57 |
| justinh | mick02: ruh? since when did people store uncompressed video on their home networks? | 21:57 |
| vlt | MKM: And "Please see the section above on setting the Firewire GUID". Which section is that? | 21:57 |
| cliff_ | programs cant run after x updates please help! | 21:57 |
| justinh | mick02: you can even 'stream' bluray over a home network without much trouble. especially so with wired networks | 21:57 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: then try VirtualBox, it should work, and is in the repos. If you can't find it then you can get it from Sun (now Oracle) | 21:58 |
| Njh | MKM: thanks | 21:58 |
| drizzt_ | cliff_, more details please | 21:58 |
| crypt-0 | drizzt_, prefer not to paste logs for the world to see. | 21:58 |
| yosi | Can I Tar or Dump an entire drive? when i try to dump and entire drive with path"/" it doesn't stop running | 21:58 |
| mick02 | justinh: From what I've been reading on different VOD sites they say that the video needs to be encoded and encapsulated before it is served to the clients. Remember that each room in the house will not have a PC installed, the servers will be streaming directly to the TV (via an IPTV box) | 21:58 |
| Njh | MKM: will the debian one work with ubuntu | 21:58 |
| Sam_Fisher | command to reset network settings! | 21:58 |
| justinh | mick02: sounds like a way overcomplicated way to do things if you ask me | 21:58 |
| Sam_Fisher | and not abbracadabra! | 21:59 |
| MKM | vlt : that is just the album art..., ie the art image of the particular album.., its ok if you dont set the album art..., and what was that about firewire..? | 21:59 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: I also found this for running it on WINE, though I find WINE to be hit or miss. No guarantees that it will work with WINE. | 21:59 |
| ninjai | ianwizard: thanks, i already have vbox installed w/ windows | 21:59 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: ok, enjoy then. | 22:00 |
| cliff_ | <drizzt_> some time ago on ubuntu lucid i made some updates covering i think x server, audio (alsa), nvidia driver. they all died or malfuntioned, so far i fixed nvidia and audio | 22:00 |

| ianwizard | Inhibit applet isn't preventing suspend when I close the lid. any help? | 22:01 |
| MKM | Njh : are you looking at setting up a high end web server or a simple local host...?? | 22:01 |
| vlt | MKM: There's a firewire GUID that has to match a certain hash in the iTunes_Control directory | 22:02 |
| Njh | MKM: i am able to create a simple local host, ... i want to know how to create a high end web server on ubuntu so i know for future reference, but really all i want is certain files up so i can reach them anywhere | 22:02 |
| cliff_ | <drizzt_> some of the apps that dont run are: ubuntu network manager, dropbox, IRC wont display the icon, etc I think the problem is the x server update but idk wat do you think? | 22:02 |
| vlt | MKM: I set this GUID but it still doesn't work | 22:02 |
| drizzt_ | cliff_, are you sure that upgrade complered successfully? | 22:03 |
| ninjai | ianwizard: how do i pass aUSB device to vbox? | 22:03 |
| ianwizard | ninjai: there should be something under "Devices", that allows you to pick what to send through. I'll look | 22:04 |

| livingdaylight | anyone know whether Wesnoth in Ubuntu's repository is broken? | 22:18 |
| Striking7 | Hey guys - anyone know how to get the notifications for chat, etc to be clickable? | 22:18 |
| nimbus | livingdaylight, are oyu trying to update OO? | 22:18 |
| banker247_ | MKM so if my file is called phc-linux - writeup | 22:19 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: 00? | 22:19 |
| nimbus | Striking7, that sounds like it would be an enormous effort to do that | 22:19 |
| nimbus | livingdaylight, open office | 22:19 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: just installed Wesnoth but it's not working. | 22:19 |
| banker247_ | i would do gedit phc-linux\-\writeup? | 22:19 |
| Striking7 | As is, when you get a notification they blur when you mouseover them so you can't click them. | 22:19 |
| Striking7 | that's exactly the opposite of what I want | 22:19 |
| drizzt_ | nimbus, are that a problem with this font only? | 22:19 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: no, installed Wesnoth (a game) | 22:19 |
| nimbus | livingdaylight, I have wesnoth but I compiled it from the site | 22:19 |
| Striking7 | nimbus: there isn't a config option, something in gconf for that? | 22:20 |
| nimbus | drizzt_, yes. this cutesy font has taken over | 22:20 |
| nimbus | Striking7, deleting gnome files and reseting gnome only provides temporary relief of symptoms it seems. And it never helps the Flash problem. | 22:20 |
| nimbus | I have even removed all flash. | 22:21 |
| Striking7 | nimbus: I'm not sure we're on the same page. I'm just talking about the chat notifications that pop up in your upper right | 22:21 |
| vlt | MKM: I copied three more tracks using Rhythmbox. I can play them from the phone with rhythmbox but not with MobileMusicPlayer on the phone | 22:21 |
| n2diy | my test box is afu. Last night it reported a restart was required, which was a surprise, as I hadn't done any updates. did the restart, and fsck failed. I was told I needed to run fsck manually, in maintance mode, and mount the system read only. Further down, it said I was in maintance mode, read only, so I ran fsck. Had a bunch of errors, but managed to get to the X log in screen. But no joy there, as it wouldn't take my password. So, | 22:21 |
| n2diy | I booted into recovery mode, and tried changing my password there, no joy, I wasn't known to the authentication module.So I tried adding user vic, and he didn't get a password, because he isn't known to the auth. module either. Whats going on? | 22:21 |
| vlt | MKM: Is there a way to completely reset this database? | 22:22 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: why did you meniton OO.o ? | 22:22 |
| Striking7 | nimbus: My Flash is behaving great actually (that's a bit of a first :)) | 22:22 |
| MKM | banker247_ : then if want to view that that file you use phc-linux\ -\ writeup.., note the \ | 22:22 |
| nimbus | livingdaylight, I had issues with that last night | 22:22 |
| nimbus | Striking7, I am glad your Flash is behaving. | 22:22 |
| Striking7 | is nimbus a bot? | 22:22 |
| Striking7 | I think so... | 22:23 |
| MKM | vlt : you mean the database of the phone...? | 22:23 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: I had issues with updates too... complaints. seems to have updated successfully now though | 22:23 |
| vlt | MKM: Yes | 22:23 |
| Striking7 | Okay, anyone but Nimbus, do you know if there's a way to make notifications clickable? | 22:23 |
| Striking7 | Rather than blurring when you mouseover them? | 22:23 |
| Striking7 | (In the "Indicator" applet) | 22:23 |
| livingdaylight | nimbus: Wesnoth starts up with the sound all perfectly, but none of the buttons work. I click away to no avail | 22:23 |

| vlt | MKM: On iPhone 1.1.4 there was a different database format used | 22:27 |
| trism | Pirate_Hunter: :%s/foo/foobar/g | 22:27 |

| Pirate_Hunter | trism, ZykoticK9, thanks | 22:28 |
| ZykoticK9 | trism, are you sure about that % or was that a typo? | 22:28 |
| banker247_ | should i mirror my linux install onto another partition so that i may recover it later - is this possible? | 22:28 |
| Striking7 | zeko - I can respect that, but I DO want them clickable :-p | 22:29 |
| banker247_ | like if i save the current state of my linux now.. then mess something up later - can i just boot the copy? | 22:29 |
| trism | ZykoticK9: yes, before the s you need to specify the region of the document to search, or it will only do the current line | 22:29 |
| Striking7 | zeko - I don't mind going through a little trouble to make it happen. That's what happens when I want something different - I totally understand | 22:29 |
| trism | ZykoticK9: % is for the whole document | 22:29 |
| ZykoticK9 | trism, cool thanks | 22:29 |

| lzantal | vlt: yes they are and I created the smae partition on them as I have on my sda | 22:36 |
| vlt | lzantal: The command I wrote creates a new raid5 device | 22:36 |
| lzantal | vlt: awesome, Thank you. I'll go and try it:) | 22:37 |

| lzantal | vlt: One more thing, Can I do it from the installed system or do I need to boot into the live cd? | 22:38 |
| Docteh | lzantal: depends if you're moving / or not | 22:38 |
| vlt | lzantal: You can create a raid device anytime | 22:38 |

| lzantal | vlt: I used gparted to partition the other two drives. | 22:39 |
| lzantal | vlt: for data protection. I am going to copy a lot of family images and videos | 22:40 |
| vlt | lzantal: You can partition it first to avoid the devices being messed up by any other OS later. The partition type for raid memebres id "fd" | 22:40 |

| lzantal | vlt: would it matter that my first disk does not have that id? since I installed it to ext4 | 22:43 |
| vlt | lzantal: For storing files on a device you need to create a file system ("ext4" for example) on it. | 22:43 |
| Kamilion | wiped out /var/lib/apt/lists/* and remade partial, same problem again. | 22:43 |
| wast3lanD | so is there a way to make my ubuntu server box a network drive at my house, such that i can actively store/watch/use stuff from it? | 22:43 |
| bastidrazor | cliff_: they should restart on their own | 22:43 |

| MKM | its just a suggestion.., yo sun-jdk should run in ubuntu.., its oracle-jdk actually.!! | 22:43 |
| vlt | lzantal: How is your first disk related here? | 22:43 |
| MKM | LouisJB :its just a suggestion.., yo sun-jdk should run in ubuntu.., its oracle-jdk actually.!! | 22:44 |
| Kamilion | wast3lanD: The first part, yes. Samba will do that. the second part? No, samba will not do that. (Remotely) | 22:44 |
| cliff_ | <bastidrazor> no they just shut down with the command, they arent restarting... | 22:44 |
| vlt | lzantal: ext4 is a file system. File systems reside on block devices (like disks, partitions, raid devices or lvm volumes) | 22:44 |
| bastidrazor | cliff_: gnome-panel | 22:44 |
| LouisJB | there's nothing called oracle-jdk in the repository | 22:44 |
| jpds | LouisJB: Yeah. | 22:45 |
| lzantal | vlt: thats the one has ubuntu on it. I only got 2 more hdd and I need at least 3 for raid5, so I need to include it in the raid array | 22:45 |
| mfpcokets | anyone have any ideas to play x264 on an acer aspire one netbook ? XP can handle it with core AVC but i cannot find a ubuntu equivalent. No one? I have like 100gb of documentaries i can no longer watch since moving to linux | 22:45 |
| lzantal | vlt: seems like I may have to reinstall ubuntu after setting up the raid partitions properly. | 22:46 |
| vlt | lzantal: Ok. No problem. | 22:46 |
| Kamilion | mfpcokets: take a look at vdpau | 22:46 |
| vlt | lzantal: No | 22:46 |
| LouisJB | it's odd, I installed sun-jdk the other week on an uptodate ubuntu installation, now I try the same on one installed today (very latest) and it won;t install due to dependencies that can't be installed | 22:46 |
| Oer | !H.264 | 22:46 |
| cliff_ | <bastidrazor> ok now the panels are back to defaults but i still dont have a system tray or notification area where it shows my other background apps like dropbox, or net manager,etc | 22:47 |

| Kamilion | mfpcokets: Then vdpau's not gonna be fun for you. | 22:47 |
| vlt | lzantal: Just create the raid with 2 and a missing disk, then create your file system(s), copy all data over, reboot from the new device and finally add the first disk to the array | 22:47 |
| mfpcokets | Kamilion: LOL | 22:47 |
| mfpcokets | Kamilion: Im pretty tech savy, i guess i can do some reading. Is it a program ? | 22:48 |
| === HaRiTh is now known as HrT | ||
| Kamilion | mfpcokets: It's nvidia's video acceleration shim -- mplayer and some other stuff can use it. | 22:48 |
| mfpcokets | Kamilion: ok i guess ill do some reading. | 22:48 |
| vlt | lzantal: For this setup I'd recommend two fd partitions on each disk. Create a raid1 array of /dev/sd{b,c}1 and a raid5 of sd{b,c}2 | 22:48 |
| Kamilion | mfpcokets: I dunno any further as I use radeon HD IGPs (780G) without issue. | 22:49 |
| vlt | lzantal: Booting from a raid1 is easier because one member of a raid1 is usuable standalone | 22:49 |
| lzantal | vlt: that's sounds doable, Do I need to have a separate /boot | 22:49 |
| lzantal | vlt: lol thats was my question:) | 22:49 |
| vlt | lzantal: The boot partition will be separate once you use the new device, yes. | 22:50 |
| Kamilion | mfpcokets: might try some of this stuff | 22:50 |
| Kamilion | http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/mplayer-vaapi/ | 22:50 |
| lzantal | vlt: got it | 22:50 |
| vlt | lzantal: That's because your boo loader needs to be able to read from it before it can bootstrap the raid aware kernel | 22:50 |
| vlt | *boot loader | 22:50 |
| iceroot | what is the keycombo to look the screen? | 22:51 |
| vlt | lzantal: The usuable size for raid1 is that of the smallest device (device = partition here) and for raid5 n-1 * smallest device | 22:52 |
| Kamilion | Dunno how to lock the screen with a hotkey. Would like to know also; too used to Super+L on other systems. | 22:52 |

| mechdave | carl-m_, lost, You can use ifconfig to change MAC, although I can't see why you would bother unless you manage a large network | 23:19 |

| vlt | lzantal: grub loads your kernel from sda1. It will do that later too, but you need to tell the kernel where its root fs is. Now it's /dev/sda1 but it needs to be /dev/md1. In case it is recognized as something different the label comes handy. | 23:22 |

| lanoxx | does anyone have an idea why '??bergang.avi': No such file or directory | 23:29 |
| lanoxx | why i get these strange questionmarks | 23:29 |
| iceroot | lanoxx: because the shell cant display Ü | 23:30 |
| pure|hate | lanoxx, that means your terminal is not seeing ceratin chars | 23:30 |
| Sam_Fisher | lanoxx, I would imagine hidden characters | 23:30 |
| iceroot | lanoxx: sounds like the german ue | 23:30 |
| NewWave | mechdave: well, both the machines are connected on the same wireless router | 23:30 |
| lanoxx | iceroot, i use gnome-terminal its set to utf-8 the file is from a cifs mount | 23:30 |
| pure|hate | You can add support for that to most terminals | 23:30 |
| lanoxx | ists a german ue | 23:31 |
| Gryllida | Which non-Firefox browser with JS can I install? | 23:31 |
| mechdave | NewWave, so the wireless network cards have associated with the router? | 23:31 |
| NewWave | and are connected on internet | 23:31 |
| NewWave | nomally | 23:31 |
| iceroot | Gryllida: konqueror, chrome, opera there are so many | 23:31 |
| NewWave | whitout troubles | 23:31 |
| lanoxx | pure|hate, so how do i make it see these characters? | 23:31 |
| Gryllida | iceroot: I want an open source one | 23:31 |
| shadeslayer | hi i cant seem to use pastebinit with gist.github,even though its supported | 23:31 |
| mechdave | NewWave, and the computers can ping each other? | 23:31 |
| NewWave | Yep! | 23:31 |
| Gryllida | iceroot: like Lynx but with JS | 23:31 |
| NewWave | I will check | 23:32 |
| iceroot | Gryllida: w3m has js | 23:32 |
| Daekdroom | Gryllida, Chromium, Konqueror, Empathy | 23:32 |
| Gryllida | iceroot: ok | 23:32 |

| entropysz | svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svcroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite | 23:32 |

| entropysz | errr. wrong terminal :P | 23:32 |
| pure|hate | failbus | 23:32 |
| shadeslayer | entropysz: :P | 23:32 |

| JoseBravo | Hello | 23:33 |
| JoseBravo | I want to resize a ext3 partition. I googled and I found people have to convert the partition to ext2 and then do the resize. But all information that I found is very old. Is still necessary convert to ext2. Or can I just use the command resize on parted in the unmounted partition? | 23:33 |
| IdleOne | !gparted | JoseBravo | 23:33 |
| ubottu | JoseBravo: 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 | 23:33 |
| pure|hate | lanoxx, I have no clue, I have never had a need to see any German U. I am certain you are not the first person to have the problem. I bet there is some documentation | 23:34 |
| lanoxx | pure|hate, or could it be because of the way i mounted it, i read something about a iocharset option for mount, but im not sure how that works | 23:34 |
| mechdave | NewWave, ok now what do you want to do? You can set up samba for files haring, probably be the easiest | 23:34 |

| mechdave | NewWave, just right click on the directory you want to share and click on sharing options | 23:38 |
| pure|hate | fowlduck, ok | 23:38 |
| iceroot | !firewall | rafaelsoaresbr | 23:38 |
| ubottu | rafaelsoaresbr: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW), or 'iptables' (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo). GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 23:38 |

| drizzt_ | do universe repos ever get updates? | 23:41 |
| mechdave | NewWave, ok now share the source directory as well, you only need to share the source directory to make it work | 23:41 |
| iceroot | drizzt_: updates, yes, upgrade, no | 23:41 |
| NewWave | Yes! It is here. | 23:41 |

| NewWave | mechdave: just a moment, please! | 23:44 |
| NewWave | :) | 23:44 |
| iceroot | drizzt_: doenst matter which repo you are using (main, non-free and so on) you will never get a major update within a ubuntu-release | 23:44 |
| mechdave | NewWave, that should create a connection to the other computer and just navigate to the files you want to copy | 23:44 |

| acerimmer_ | !minimal|costeau | 23:57 |
| ubottu | costeau: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:57 |
| spezticle | now i just have to figure out how to set eth0 to share internet to my router so router can disperse the internet among other pc's | 23:58 |
