| Gnea | Hi all, I'm having a problem getting my system to bootup and utilize the DVI output to the monitor. the DVI is one of the 2 heads on this geforce FX 5600, the DVI cable itself works fine, and there is a DVI connector on the back of the monitor. Yet, there is no signal being passed from the card to the cable. Is there a way to troubleshoot this or can anyone help point me in the right direction? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| nnd | Hi there, does anyone have an idea why Ubuntu 10.04's Gwibber doesn't post anything to identi.ca/status net? | 00:00 |
| VCoolio | Unsichtbar: run 'sudo smbtree' to see which folders you have shared, then disable that using nautilus > properties > share tab | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | tauren: could replace the UUID ni fstab with /dev/sda7 see if its nicer | 00:01 |
| soreau | Gnea: Does it send a signal at the bios splash when you first turn it on? | 00:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nnd: log a bug after checking settings | 00:01 |
| tauren | ActionParsnip: Ok, will try that. Also doing a manual fsck right now. | 00:01 |
| lisa_ | Gnea, I use my second output, and I have to go to system/pref/monitors to make the switch and activate the monitor | 00:01 |
| Gnea | soreau: no. I've tried turning everything off, making sure the DVI cable is the only cable connected, and still nothing | 00:02 |
| lisa_ | Is there a utility to log all wifi spots you run across and some of the details of each? | 00:02 |
| Purpley | soreau, Ok never mind im good, I found a tut on ubuntuforums.org for my exact model of my mouse and how to use its buttons | 00:02 |
| soreau | Gnea: sounds like its a hw issue then. Either with your card or monitor (or cable or adapter) | 00:02 |
| Purpley | soreau, But thank you very much for your help | 00:02 |

| rellis | I can't use 8.4. | 00:04 |
| X_o | sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp | 00:04 |

| Vooloo | I just updated my ubuntu, kernel etc. and now my network card is not working. I have tried to ifconfig down/up manually... what to do?! | 00:10 |
| === owner is now known as bricky | ||
| soreau | lieb: In recent versions of X, its smart enough to guess what you need so it selects an open driver with options automatically | 00:10 |
| nnd | tic^: Well, of course i did. | 00:11 |
| Purpley | lieb, Hmmm same problem here.....X11 is there and when i type in locate xorg.conf it gives me /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:11 |
| soreau | lieb: If you need an xorg.conf, you will have to create one. Try Xorg -vonfigure | 00:11 |
| Royall | Docteh: restarting usually fixes it... but now I can't unmount either mount point as they're both "busy" | 00:11 |
| nnd | tic^: Twitter is also working. | 00:11 |
| soreau | lieb: Xorg -configure | 00:11 |

| lieb | alright | 00:11 |
| Gnea | nnd: hrm, never used gwibber before, looks relatively new... trying it out now... so far, facebook is not liking me | 00:11 |
| res_ipsa | hmm, odd. my sound is crackling since i just rebooted | 00:11 |

| res_ipsa | had an update, rebooted, now my sound is making buzzing/strange sounds. | 00:12 |
| res_ipsa | works fine in windows | 00:12 |
| nnd | Gnea: You see, a qa team would be supposed to at least check if components which are so deeply integrated as Gwibber do work at all. | 00:12 |
| soreau | lieb: yea, it will only work if X isnt running. The easiest way to do that is get to a vt (ctrl+alt+F1) then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:13 |
| dancallo | I'll come back later. | 00:13 |
| soreau | lieb: Afterward, do the same command with start instead of stop to relogin | 00:13 |
| ActionParsnip | rellis: the page has a search, search ALL the PPAs and you will maybe find one | 00:13 |
| rellis | yeah i did search for "postgres-8.3" | 00:13 |
| rellis | i found nothing | 00:13 |
| BiGViC | my sound output option is only dummy output stereo after it working fine just a second ago after reboot this happen to me twice? | 00:13 |
| X_o | sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility e.g. service vsftpd start since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start vsftp | 00:13 |

| X_o | i can running | 00:14 |
| X_o | i cannt running | 00:14 |
| Gnea | nnd: well, the way it usually works around here is that an app, that ubuntu didn't write from scratch to begin with, is usually maintained by authors and has its own support. if any ubuntu-related mods are made to the app, then the qa team would be the ones to ask about it then, if the original maintainers are not sure what is wrong or an error message points outside of their realm. | 00:15 |

| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: the old driver is compiled for the old kernel | 00:24 |
| darkangel | anyone know a good html editor that will work in the new lucid?? | 00:24 |
| willwork4foo | OK - is there any way I can do an interactive boot or something? I have a dead Ubuntu system here, and all I did was install the Nvidia proprietary drivers | 00:24 |
| willwork4foo | now it won't boot at all | 00:24 |
| Claudinux | night night | 00:24 |

| radi | ok : if the live cd goes well, so will the real install, correct ? | 00:24 |
| willwork4foo | ActionParsnip: ?? | 00:24 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: gah ok, so I should update everything but the kernel | 00:24 |
| greenjon | radi: afaik, yes. and the real install may work even better :) | 00:24 |
| willwork4foo | this machine doesn't have an optical drive | 00:24 |

| maxblade | whats the best program for making a live cd on usb drive | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: if you are using lucid, 2.6.32.22.23 is later | 00:25 |
| willwork4foo | this is getting worse and worse | 00:25 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: 10.04 | 00:25 |
| willwork4foo | now I can't even get to the grub menu by holding shift. | 00:25 |
| radi | btw how to hell to start start up disc creator from terminal greenjon ? | 00:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: you could try: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32.22.23-generic | 00:25 |
| tyranos | maxblade, unetbootin also it comes with ubuntu if you have it installed | 00:26 |
| greenjon | radi: my terminal skills aren't that great. maybe someone else can tell you that. sorry :( | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: you'll find you have the latest, misread the output | 00:26 |
| radi | :) | 00:26 |
| Bigshot | where can i get MAC-FDISK for ubuntu? | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: just boot, hold shift and select the older kernel | 00:26 |
| radi | ubuntu user ^^ | 00:26 |
| Appl6 | willwork4foo: How did you install it in the first place? PXE? | 00:26 |
| Bigshot | i tried fdisk | 00:26 |
| Bigshot | doesn't detect the subpartitions | 00:26 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: so weird the old works... sigh | 00:27 |
| tyranos | radi, usb-creator | 00:27 |
| Bigshot | is there a boot manager that can be copied to MBR to load any bootable partition from external hdd? | 00:27 |
| willwork4foo | Appl6: I had to install it by putting the initrd.gz and linux files into /boot and making a new entry in grub.conf - from Linpus | 00:27 |
| radi | tyranos, thanks | 00:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: well if the kernel works then its fine | 00:27 |
| willwork4foo | it booted, and worked fine | 00:27 |
| radi | but, command not found :P | 00:27 |
| willwork4foo | then I installed the NVIDIA drivers | 00:27 |
| willwork4foo | and now it's SCREWED. | 00:27 |
| tyranos | radi what ubuntu version do you have ? | 00:28 |
| willwork4foo | It's half-past midnight and I've been doing this now for FIVE HOURS | 00:28 |
| Bigshot | is there a boot manager that can be copied to MBR to load any bootable partition from external hdd? | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: later doesnt always mean its any betetr, you can change /etc/default/grub so the default is 2 rather than 0 so the older kernel boots by default | 00:28 |
| rellis | youshould probably stop working and go get drunk | 00:28 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: so is this a kernel or driver issue? when I run update manager now everything seems updated.. so I am running old kernel but newer software? | 00:28 |
| radi | tyranos, anyway, i will use unetbootin | 00:28 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: ok | 00:28 |
| Appl6 | willwork4foo: What you just described required an OS to be installed in the first place. | 00:28 |
| BiGViC | When I type Alsamixer in terminal it shows cannot open mixer: no such file or directory exsist when it did just a 10 minutes ago before I restarted my machine? | 00:28 |
| willwork4foo | Appl6: there was one. Linpus. | 00:29 |
| willwork4foo | and a worse implementation of Linux, I have NEVER seen. | 00:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Vooloo: the kernel has modules for the hardware, the default one doesn't work and there is a bug logged, you could add to say "yes I get this too" etc | 00:29 |
| soreau | BiGViC: case sensitive | 00:29 |

| Bigshot | anyone? | 00:29 |

| soreau | BiGViC: Then install alsa-utils | 00:30 |
| Appl6 | willwork4foo: Can it PXE boot? | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Bigshot: there are guides all over for lilo installs, grub is more flexible and can boot any OS | 00:30 |
| Vooloo | ActionParsnip: I have like 5 rows when I boot up, how do I know the id number for each? | 00:30 |
| BiGViC | soreau: this has happen 2 times before where I had to reinstall alsamixer I don't want to keep doing that every random reboot :( | 00:30 |
| willwork4foo | Appl6: it can, but I only have a mac and I've been struggling to get it to PXE boot for two hours | 00:31 |
| Bigshot | ActionParsnip, the thing is i have already installed OS'es but they can't boot | 00:31 |

| Gnea | willwork4foo: all desktops have a battery in them to keep the state of the cmos in check. otherwise, the time/date would never be current. | 00:40 |
| willwork4foo | Gnea: OK fair enough.... regardless, I don't think this is a hardware issue. | 00:41 |

| mek8630 | tyranos: thank you I appreciate your help very much. so when creating a partition do I want "logical" or "primary"? | 00:48 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: I guess your drivers and crap arent working right if it cant connect then ;) | 00:48 |
| Appl6 | HoldenC: It irks people when you not only don't search for the answer to your problem, but you even refuse to look at links that are provided to you. | 00:48 |
| judgen | Appl6, if i uninstall xsaver and all other sceensavers.. should that not work? | 00:48 |

| jimisrvrox | soreau: heh well it was working as of 2 days ago and I figure the driver is ok if I can get an access point with it | 00:49 |
| Costanza | hi.. maybe someone can answer my why when i sometiems boot into ubuntu my network wont start.. and i have to restart for it to work.. sometiems even restart several times for it to work. also sometimes i cant adjust sound it says "waiting for sound system to respond" and i have to restart for it to work | 00:49 |
| Appl6 | judgen: Maybe, but I'd suggest just disabling the screensaver. It may turn out that something else depends on xsaver, and it breaks because you uninstalled it. | 00:49 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: What driver is it using ? | 00:49 |
| jimisrvrox | soreau: Ive tried unplugging and replugging the router, rebooting the machine, taking the card out and putting it back in | 00:49 |
| tyranos | mek8630, i m not sure please ask soreau | 00:49 |

| mek8630 | soreau: when creating a partition do I want logical or primary? | 00:50 |

| airdem | hello, i am looking for a "supported netbooks list" (ubuntu-10.04-netbook) | 00:51 |
| judgen | Appl6, i only ask here because #xubuntu has been dead for hours. I dont know how to turn all the power settings off. I dont need them as my elec is pretty much free where i live. | 00:51 |
| remanifest | airdem: What netbook do you have? | 00:52 |
| darkangel | cap88 what you doin | 00:52 |
| airdem | remanifest, s10e | 00:52 |
| soreau | mek8630: Typically, (for msdos partition type) you do three primary partitions then make an extended partition if you need more than four partitions, then under the extended are the logic partitions IIRC | 00:52 |
| mek8630 | soreau: but the reason I just didn't do it the easy way is because I have a corrupted version of Ubuntu on the partition I am wanting to format and copy over it | 00:52 |
| jimisrvrox | im running it through network manager and so the two globes light up and then when I run iwconfig it will show the access point but then the connection drops out | 00:52 |

| soreau | Aliv3: It makes it easier if you put the name of the person you are talking to in your message so they get highlighted | 01:00 |
| soreau | radi: I already went over this | 01:00 |
| radi | can you repeat please :) | 01:01 |
| hhhhddddhhhdd | who u talking too? | 01:01 |
| soreau | <soreau> radi: The options would be boot from usb to keep the burner open or have two cdrom drives, one to boot and one to burn | 01:01 |
| jimisrvrox | soreau: hey I think its using the b43 driver | 01:01 |
| radi | oh i didnt get that | 01:01 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: oh that sucks | 01:01 |
| radi | sorry | 01:01 |
| radi | soreau, and what is the application to burn cds ? | 01:01 |
| soreau | radi: wodim | 01:01 |
| jimisrvrox | yeah and what really sucks is that I cant find my damn flash drive to put a new driver on the box if I have to | 01:01 |
| civixier | Hmm... I'm confused. According to sound settings, I dont have any system sounds, but still I hear drums when I get an alert and close windows and stuff. Why? | 01:01 |

| Aliv3 | did you try turning the volume up | 01:02 |
| Aliv3 | or unmuting it? | 01:02 |

| soreau | radi: sure | 01:02 |

| hhhhddddhhhdd | how can i send a file remotely under the same network? | 01:03 |
| Aliv3 | jk' | 01:03 |

| civixier | Aliv3 How do you mean? | 01:03 |
| Aliv3 | nothing | 01:03 |

| no-name | how is ubuntus 64 bit version? | 01:03 |
| radi | so, will download the damn iso later and try k3b or brasero | 01:03 |
| jimisrvrox | well ok..in network manager the two globes will light up and stay lit but will never turn to bars | 01:04 |
| radi | live cd is working well, except the 2d acceleration | 01:04 |
| soreau | Aliv3: I have no idea. I would try toggling allowemptyinput option but usually your mouse wont work either if this is the problem | 01:04 |
| bastidrazor | radi: unless you have another cd/dvd drive attached you can not use the same drive the liveCD is using to burn an iso | 01:04 |
| hhhhddddhhhdd | what is the discussion about? | 01:04 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: and then it asks for password again? | 01:04 |
| radi | bastidrazor, im using usb for the live ubuntu | 01:04 |
| radi | so, burner is free | 01:05 |
| jimisrvrox | yeah soreau the driver is b43-pci-bridge | 01:05 |
| bastidrazor | radi: then you're in good shape. | 01:05 |
| radi | bastidrazor, well, i cant cancel the partitioning process now :P | 01:05 |
| jimisrvrox | soreau: no it doesnt ask for a password...it goes to the next network showing in network manager because i have like 4 or 5 networks detected around my neighborhood | 01:05 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: Do you have other machines on the network and/or connection sharing going on? | 01:05 |

| kanzie | Im runnign ubuntu 8, could that be the reason? | 01:30 |
| dumb_dumb | guys is ubuntu 10.4 server edition can support interl processor or just amd? | 01:31 |
| soreau | kanzie: get a later version of ubuntu? In 10.04, default repo mercurial version is1.4.3 | 01:31 |
| remanifest | dumb_dumb: It support intel too | 01:31 |
| jimisrvrox | iwconfig wlan1 essid ..... && dhclient wlan1 | 01:31 |
| soreau | kanzie: Yes, that *is* the reason | 01:31 |
| remanifest | supports | 01:31 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: You have to use sudo for each command | 01:31 |
| upgrdman | do the contents of /etc/rc.local get run during startup? I put a line in there and it does not seem to do it | 01:31 |
| dumb_dumb | but i can`t find the link to donload intel processor 64 but | 01:31 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: && executes the next command if the previous one succeeded | 01:32 |
| bsmith093 | how do i convert a crapload (80+) of files in cbr and cbz format all to pdf? i have cups-pdf, but evince apparently won't print these files | 01:32 |
| jimisrvrox | telling me cant create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases permission denied SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied | 01:32 |
| jimisrvrox | yes Im sorry I did it with sudo | 01:32 |
| dumb_dumb | the file i found is using amd name | 01:32 |
| dumb_dumb | is just the same for the 64 bit server edition? | 01:32 |
| olrrai | hi, do u know why netcat has not -exec option? | 01:33 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: Right but you have to type sudo multiple times like this: sudo cmd1 && sudo cmd2 | 01:33 |
| jimisrvrox | ooooo | 01:33 |
| Aliv3 | Thanks!!! I Have Ubuntu operational | 01:33 |
| Aliv3 | thanks guys | 01:33 |
| soreau | Aliv3: What fixed it? | 01:33 |
| jimisrvrox | ok | 01:33 |
| jimisrvrox | the dhcp is showing | 01:34 |
| kanzie | soreau: yes, but it is a server...cant reinstall it every year. I did dist-upgrade but it didn't change much | 01:34 |
| greenjon | Aliv3: glad to hear that :) | 01:34 |
| jimisrvrox | damn got the no DHCPOFFERS recieved | 01:34 |
| radi | guys, how do you start grub2 when you reboot | 01:35 |
| jimisrvrox | I guess the driver is shot | 01:35 |
| radi | before ubuntu | 01:35 |
| soreau | kanzie: Then your options include trying to install from source or trying to use the deb from later version of ubuntu repos but this is potentially dangerous | 01:35 |
| radi | how to go to the options where you can edit grub2 | 01:35 |
| soreau | kanzie: best way would be to try getting the source built | 01:35 |
| upgrdman | every time i restart i get the "your drives are being check for errors" screen, this didn't happen before. anyone know if this is a common bug? | 01:35 |
| vallejos | hello | 01:35 |
| soreau | upgrdman: probably something to do with system time being messed with | 01:36 |

| jimisrvrox | so soreau its not getting a dhcp lease from the router | 01:39 |
| soreau | jimisrvrox: Did you try reloading the driver? rmmod/modprobe | 01:39 |
| uLinux | "sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.disabled" this renames that file? | 01:39 |

| jimisrvrox | weird this is.. | 01:42 |
| jimisrvrox | tried rmmod/modprobe...sudo essid and dhclient and still no dhcp lease | 01:42 |
| jimisrvrox | thing about it is I have one wired linux box and my windoze wireless box and this wireless linux box | 01:43 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, Have you tried setting a static IP then changing back to a DHCP lease to see if that resolves the issue? | 01:43 |
| jimisrvrox | and like I said everything was working fine but one day I decided to mac filter this box off the network and then put it back on later and it worked fine then the next day it went to the crapper | 01:44 |
| jimisrvrox | I think what I am going to do is power cycle the router and see if that helps with the DHCP lease... | 01:44 |
| jimisrvrox | brb | 01:44 |

| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: im using the b43/ssb driver and it has been working before 2 days ago...set it to a static IP and cant ping the router but iwlist scan sees my network...this seems very strange to me because being said that iwlist sees the network then I dont think the driver would be borked que no? | 02:26 |
| imperius1 | jimisrvrox: check "iwconfig wlan0". are you connected to your router? | 02:26 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: and I tried rmmod/modprobe..that didnt work either | 02:26 |
| mssever | After sabayon-apply hosed my machine, how can I restore it? Details here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sabayon/+bug/592489 | 02:26 |
| jimisrvrox | imperius1: I cant ping the router! but iwlist scan sees the network | 02:26 |
| Benny_132 | hi all, quick question, is there a way to have VMware Player automatically start and load my VM after a reboot ? | 02:27 |
| mssever | Benny_132: put it in your startup programs | 02:27 |
| imperius1 | jimisrvrox: your router might be set up to not allow pinging. it's actually a smart move security-wise. | 02:27 |
| mssever | Benny_132: or, if you want to launch it prior to login, you can put it in /etc/rc.local | 02:28 |
| The_Journey | why do I keep getting input/output error when I try to install ubuntu 10.04? | 02:28 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, What you might try to do is to just blow out ANY settings for that card that you can find - in the /etc/peers dir as well - rmmod the driver first - then double check each of the config dirs - also check the blacklist.conf just to be sure...then modprobe the driver again - see if you can force the settings | 02:28 |
| jimisrvrox | imperius1: I can ping it on my windoze box but now that you said that Im gonna see if I can disallow pinging hehe :) | 02:28 |
| gtoy | Hi I installed 10.04 but my screen goes black at startup is anyone familiar with graphic card issues? I have an intel 828656G | 02:28 |
| Jordan_U | The_Journey: Did you run the CD integrity check? | 02:28 |
| darshakk | Hi all, how can I redirect video from an application on my screen? I can hear audio, but can't see a video. e.g. from minitube, veetle plugin etc | 02:28 |
| The_Journey | Jordan_U: yes | 02:28 |
| brand0n | i just tried changing my account from custom to administrator | 02:28 |
| brand0n | maybe that will help | 02:28 |
| brand0n | also, brasero keeps stopping at 4447mb of 4453mb....anyone ever have that problem? | 02:29 |
| brand0n | i generaly use devede for converting video but it seems to compress them ridicuouslyl small | 02:29 |
| brand0n | id rather an iso use the whole dvd rather than 1.8 to 2.5gb | 02:29 |
| therianthrope | Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check | 02:30 |
| Benny_132 | mssever: ok cool | 02:30 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: well unfortunately for me im not that familar with the linux directory setup even though ive been using linux now for about 2 yrs and took a linux class but most of that info has gone out of the brain...but now im doing CCNA and ive had problems with these da** broadcom cards in the past with nm-applet and so forth and I had it documented somewhere how I fixed it but havent a... | 02:30 |
| jimisrvrox | ...clue as to where its at | 02:30 |
| bastid_raZor | brand0n: its the quality of the avi you're starting with.. i convert mkv's and they tend to be around 3.2GB | 02:30 |
| QpSmiley | msserver : it told me that blahblahblah /evans/.XSession-errors wasn't a file | 02:31 |
| brand0n | yea but i remember using a program on windows called convertxtodvd | 02:31 |
| _mike__ | Ive been googling around and couldnt find a decent answer to my problem... Ubuntu doesnt show correctly on Inspiron 2600's did anyone come across a decent fix? | 02:31 |
| bastid_raZor | brand0n: :\ windows != ubuntu | 02:31 |
| jimisrvrox | bastid_raZor: hehehe | 02:31 |
| brand0n | bastid_raZor, when i used convertxtodvd on windows it didnt matter if it was a 700mb avi or a 1.4gb one it ended up making it fit on the dvds max size | 02:31 |
| benkong2 | why is and apt-get dist-upgrade removing all the kde stuff in my lucid ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| QpSmiley | but I tried running sudo gdm and it said Unable to load file /etc/gdm/custom.conf and it also said Unable to find users no seat-id found | 02:31 |
| brand0n | is the point im trying to make | 02:31 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, Mate, been there with the Broadcom's before...had to do the same - blow everything out - several times recompile the driver by hand... | 02:31 |
| mssever | QpSmiley: maybe I remembered the name incorrectly. If you do "ls -A" you'll get a full directory listing. Look for a similar file | 02:31 |
| The_Journey_ | Why do I get the error input / output error when I try to install ubuntu? | 02:31 |
| brand0n | and brasero is attempting to do the same thing as well | 02:31 |
| brand0n | but it just locks up at the end | 02:32 |
| b2bwild | bastid_raZor: its Windows < Ubuntu actually. | 02:32 |
| QpSmiley | okay | 02:32 |
| brand0n | the app itself doesnt freeeze, it just stops | 02:32 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: bad cd, bad disk, filesystem/drive errors. | 02:32 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: every other linux OS works though | 02:32 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: oh god sounds horrible! and the thing about it is I wanted to boycott Linksys for their crappy chipsets that just dont play well with linux now im actually happy that a power outtage blew out one of my usb wireless cards hahaha | 02:32 |
| mssever | The_Journey_: There are many possibilities | 02:32 |
| con-man | does anyone know how to get the quickcam orbits motors working in linux, like making it point up down turning sideways? | 02:33 |
| Jordan_U | The_Journey: Could you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after the IO error? | 02:33 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: wasted $40 on the card but feels nice to fry their crap if you know what i mean | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: give more information about what you are doing. Its very possible its having issues reading the optuical drive/disk | 02:33 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.04 using a cd | 02:33 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, Actually, ain't all that bad - the last bc driver I installed (on this laptop) worked heaps better than the one that came with the install...so, on that note... | 02:33 |
| jimisrvrox | hrm | 02:33 |
| jimisrvrox | interesting | 02:33 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: why would there be problem with my optical drive though, my other livecds work | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: if you burnt the cd - uit could be a bad burn, try burning it at the lowest speed the disk can do. or try making a bpptable flash drive | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: ive seen (and have) optical drives that cazn be a little flakey. | 02:34 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: I did checksum after burning the disk | 02:34 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: well I have no exp in compiling drivers by hand.... | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: I use bootable flash drives these days, Faster to install and less hassles. | 02:34 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: I wanted to get the book Ubuntu Toolbox the other day but im over here pinching pennies right now | 02:34 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, Something to try, as well, is to stick another card in it - leave the bc card there, blacklist the driver, and try to "Find Hardware Drivers" again to see if that'll blow it out for ya... | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | The quality of Optical drives and media seems to have gotten a lot worse over the last few years. | 02:35 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, :) - yeah - I fully understand the penny pinchin bit mate | 02:35 |
| Jordan_U | The_Journey_: Try running the check from the CD's boot menu. That will rule out a bad CD or a bad drive (or a combination of the two) | 02:35 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: is there anyway to fix this because I don't have an usb | 02:35 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: ok sounds good I can try that but I think I might have the same version of card but im not sure | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: i mentioned burning the disk at the slowest speed the drive can handle. | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: use siome compressed air and clean out the drive also might help | 02:36 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: I did the checksum after the burning, so the burning was successful | 02:36 |
| sri | is there a way to get network manager to change stuff like network proxy depending if you're at work or at a home network? | 02:36 |
| Diegooo-- | Hola | 02:36 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then? | 02:36 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: like I said, every other livecds work except the ubuntu one though | 02:36 |
| _mike__ | con-man this might help http://www.quickcamteam.net/search?SearchableText=linux | 02:36 |

| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: im giving you 'standard' things to try. theres no magic fix. | 02:36 |
| bastid_raZor | sri: set up profiles in nm-applet | 02:36 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: so it's not my optical drive | 02:36 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: cool.. I'll check that out. | 02:36 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: what about if you activate a vpn? still will fix it? | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: burn at slowest speed is often a fix. Dont ask me why. | 02:37 |
| jimisrvrox | bastid_raZor: hey what you think of Windoze 7? I know theyre the evil empire but what do you think about it as an OS? | 02:37 |
| QpSmiley | msserver: it basically said it couldn't find the session file and then a bunch of stuff that didn't look human | 02:37 |
| bastid_raZor | sri: you can have vpn profiles as well. | 02:37 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: if the burning didn't work, then the checksum would have failed | 02:37 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: mind if I pm then? | 02:37 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:37 |
| QpSmiley | btw its /.xsession.errors | 02:37 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: is there a link to an article or something that i can get more information? | 02:37 |
| bastid_raZor | jimisrvrox: i've used it once, had no real opinion on it. | 02:37 |
| YankDownUnder | jimisrvrox, Go for it mate | 02:38 |
| brand0n | anyone use devede? | 02:38 |
| bastid_raZor | sri right click the icon in the top bar, edit connections. let me look for a howto | 02:38 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: with your logic then - the thing should work.. so what else are you going to try.. takes 0 min to reburn the disk at the slowerst speed. and another few sec to give the drive a hit of comopressed air. also you could double check the cables. | 02:38 |
| drizzt_ | is there a way to limit physical memory in Ubuntu? | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: try the disk in other pc's as a test also i guess | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | but that wont help the problem pc. | 02:39 |
| Vooloo | is there a way to get Gnome Do for 10.04 ? | 02:39 |
| maco | drizzt_: to tell it to only use a certain amount and pretend the rest's not there? | 02:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Vooloo: its in the repos I think | 02:39 |
| drizzt_ | Vooloo, it is in it | 02:39 |
| maco | drizzt_: boot with "mem=512m" or whatever | 02:39 |
| Jordan_U | The_Journey_: It can be a combination of a slightly bad disk and a poor drive. I've had CDs that checksumm'd fine on drive A, but not on drive B. While drive B could read other CDs fine. | 02:39 |
| drizzt_ | cool | 02:39 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:40 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: I have a music player that stores music files, could I use that as a usb to install Ubuntu? | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: im on my 3rd optical drive for my main box. Just cant seem to get ones that can last these days | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: doubtfull. | 02:40 |
| brand0n | can anyone explain to me why in DeVeDe i add an avi file and it will say like 120% disk usage but when its done converting the iso is like 2.0gb? | 02:40 |
| CaptainTrek | The_Journey_: i don't recommend it. | 02:40 |
| Dr_Willis | The_Journey_: if it can me made 'bootable' it might work. but i wouldent guiarentee that | 02:40 |
| The_Journey_ | Dr_Willis: Isn't it just an external storage too? | 02:40 |
| bastid_raZor | sri: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7?highlight=(nm\-applet) it doesn't talk about vpn but you will get the general idea on how to use nm-applet | 02:41 |
| CaptainTrek | The_Journey_: not quite, sometimes the thing has its own software hiding somewhere on the storage partition(s) | 02:41 |
| The_Journey_ | I thought a music player is an external storage with drivers to play mp3's files? | 02:41 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: With grub2's iso booting I hardly ever need a physical CD any more :) | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | brand0n: its goofy :) ive seen that also. click on the button to the left of the 120% gague to get it to resize/recalculate. and it seems to give a more proper answer | 02:41 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: thanks! | 02:41 |
| CaptainTrek | The_Journey_: it depends on the music player/device. | 02:41 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, I'm having a major problem. I just reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch on my computer, and now I can't get an Ethernet connection working. Can someone help me? | 02:41 |
| bastid_raZor | sri: best of luck | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: Yep. same here. About ready to remove my flakey optical drive and put in another TB hd. | 02:41 |
| Costanza | does anyone know how to fix this on ubuntu: configure: error: could not find DocBook XSL Stylesheets in XML catalog , i found something by googling but it does not work on ubuntu (Fix: apt-get install docbook-style-xsl) | 02:42 |
| The_Journey_ | CaptainTrek: I have a Sly P3 Digital Player, would that work as a usb to install ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Jordan_U: burnt some cd's for a friend (ubuntu) and went to check summ them and they all 3 failed with IO errors :( couldent even md5sum them | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | Dr_Willis: I used to always have hundreds of old Distro pre-release coasters lying around, along with a few dead flash drives :) | 02:42 |
| CaptainTrek | The_Journey_: in my experience, installing a linux partition to a music player / MP3 playing device has bad after-effects. | 02:43 |
| The_Journey_ | CaptainTrek: like what? | 02:43 |
| The_Journey_ | CaptainTrek: does it just not work? | 02:43 |
| QpSmiley | Anyone else want to take a crack at how to fix my problem?: I enabled my graphics card driver and it starts up in the terminal login screen instead of the gdm anyone want to take a crack at it? | 02:43 |
| OldPete | brand0n: I've noticed other apps that rely on DVDAuthor that have that same problem. I haven't researched it, but I suspect it's something wrong in the reporting in that or one of the apps it relies on. | 02:44 |
| CaptainTrek | The_Journey_: i'm unfamiliar with the device you mentioned, but most of those devices cannot, I repeat, CANNOT handle the ext3/ext4 partitions used by linux, thus preventing you from using the MP3 player to listen to music. | 02:44 |
| jdsbluedevl | hi, I'm having trouble getting an Internet connection with my fresh Ubuntu install. Can someone help me? | 02:44 |
| glorious__ | I just want to say earlier today I asked about trying to connect from tsclient on 10.04 to a Vista machine. I got an error and couldn't figure it out. | 02:44 |
| Jordan_U | QpSmiley: "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak" should get GDM starting again, but I can't help much with getting the proprietary drivers working. | 02:44 |
| juan_ | do u guys know if there is an app that will make the state of ur current OS into an ISO image and then later on u can install it and have it like u had it then? | 02:45 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: not quite what I was looking for.. what I wanted to do was change like my firefox proxy, my apt proxy etc etc. | 02:45 |
| therianthrope | Why isn't my question being answered? | 02:45 |
| glorious__ | But just now I discovered TeamViewer has a Linux client/server free for personal use. Wayyyy simple. Worked right off. i'll still try to figure out the FLOSS tools at some point, but for now at least I'm up and running. | 02:46 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: there was a tool that did something like this written by Ross Burton I just can't remember what it was. | 02:46 |
| QpSmiley | thank you Jordan_U will give it a try | 02:46 |
| tyranos | therianthrope just post your question again and wait | 02:46 |
| Shade57 | Has anyone been having trouble sharing files between windows and linux through a fat32 partition? | 02:47 |
| therianthrope | Hiya - with dual booting (grub as primary bootloader) is it possible to use Windows 7 BitLocker? I would assume so considering windows is chainloaded, but want to double check | 02:47 |
| glorious__ | This tool (TeamViewer) could be useful for giving support here. No brainer simple. | 02:47 |
| jdsbluedevl | can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out | 02:47 |
| Jordan_U | QpSmiley: You're welcome. | 02:47 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:48 |
| The_Journey_ | why do I get not authorized error when I try to plug in an external usb? | 02:49 |
| tyranos | therianthrope, http://itcrumbs.blogspot.com/2010/05/ubuntu-on-bitlocker-protected.html | 02:49 |
| Traveler | hi | 02:49 |
| Traveler | I've installed xmonad on ubuntu but when I chose the xmonad session it doesn't load it. Just stays at the gdm screen. Why? | 02:50 |
| bastid_raZor | sri: ah, i do not know how to do what you're wanting. | 02:50 |
| jdsbluedevl | ok, I'm begging someone to help me with my Internet connection issue | 02:50 |
| sri | bastid_raZor: that's cool. I knwo someone has written something.. basically you want to autoconfig your laptop to not have any dependencies on your work network and vice versa. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Traveler: try the xterm session and load xmonad by hand. there could be some config issues with xmonad. | 02:50 |
| therianthrope | Tyranos: Win7 and Ubuntu are already installed - safe to encrypt? | 02:51 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have posed my questions 3 times in a row without a response while googling non stop to see how my issue can be resolved. does anyone with experience with cron help me? | 02:51 |
| tyranos | therianthrope, i dont know anything about bitlocker i first heard of it when you asked :) sry but cant help you there | 02:51 |
| tyranos | therianthrope, but maybe someone else can, read that article first | 02:52 |
| Traveler | Dr_Willis: Config issues with xmonad ? Xmonad works like a charm on other distributions so I doubt it. | 02:52 |
| QpSmiley | okay ... well that didnt work Jordan_U | 02:52 |
| Traveler | Anyone in here running xmonad ? | 02:52 |
| machine_ | Ola! | 02:52 |
| bastid_raZor | Traveler: possibly look in .xsession-errors for possible errors | 02:52 |
| machine_ | Algum Brasileiro ? | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Traveler: one way to find out.. try loading it by hand.. look for error messages | 02:52 |
| jdsbluedevl | does ANYONE here have experience with an Ethernet card that won't connect to the Internet? | 02:53 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:53 |
| brand0n | anyone who converts movies alot: ffmpeg or mencoder? | 02:53 |
| jdsbluedevl | machine_: solamente ingles | 02:53 |
| holmser_ | anyone have experience with a pxe install? | 02:53 |
| Shade57 | I dont know if this will be helpful to anyone or not, but you can create a fat32 partition on a dual-boot system (i used Windows 7 to create the partition) and use that to share files between Linux/Ubuntu (im using Backtrack 4) as long you have it setup as Shared in Windows. | 02:53 |
| brand0n | mencoder seems to compress stuff way more than necessary when converting to dvd, ffmpeg seems to focus more on quality than compression | 02:54 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | How to set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ? | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | !patience | jdsbluedevl | 02:54 |
| ubottu | jdsbluedevl: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org while you wait. | 02:54 |
| QpSmiley | Jordan_U : I entered it .. no confirmation that it worked so then i tried to Ctrl+alt+f7 then that came up with a screen that had something about an AppArmor profile so i guess that didn't work then i forced shutdown then i entered it again and it said it couldnt stat xorg.conf | 02:54 |
| jdsbluedevl | yeah, but it feels so simple it's stupid, and for some reason I can't figure it out | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | QpSmiley: What version of Ubuntu? | 02:54 |
| QpSmiley | 10.04 | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: What are you trying to accomplish? | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | brand0n: both have 2000+ settings you can try and work with differnt codecs. So its all a matter of what you want to do. | 02:55 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | I can run ubuntu instalator from Grub, but how set grub, so the text based ubuntu inatalator will not look for CD but it will take hd0,10 as a cdrom ? | 02:55 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | Jordan_U, copy instlall CD to hda11 and intall it from there | 02:55 |
| brand0n | Dr_Willis, ive used DeVeDe for awhile and it always compresses movies to a retarded degree (whether its a 700mb avi or 1.4gb avi it comes out to be around 2gb iso) | 02:55 |
| brand0n | id rather it use all of the dvd and be better quality | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | brand0n: play with the settings then. | 02:56 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, i managed once to install from the ubuntu alternate-cd as an iso from my harddrive, but i think what you want is different | 02:56 |
| === Guest14778 is now known as kasun | ||
| UBUNTUnoCD | tyranos, I use alternate CD for minimal install, all sowteare needs to be installed manually | 02:56 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: What is your end goal? See: http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal | 02:56 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, so what i understand is that you have no cd player but wish to install from an iso am i correct ? | 02:57 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, i mean no cdrom drive | 02:57 |
| Zeu5 | hi i have read the cronhow to documentation. and i have set up a cron job using a gnome task scheduler. i manually run the command via gnome task scheduler it will open a terminal window that executes a svn update command. i set it to every minute. but i have not seen the terminal window appearing every minute. how do i test to know that it works? | 02:57 |
| gonzoBLUE | hi all | 02:58 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | tyranos, yes | 02:58 |
| QpSmiley | is there a command to isntall the default graphics driver? | 02:58 |
| maco | Zeu5: run "top" and see if it pops up? | 02:58 |

| aaroninfidel | anyone here use neatx? | 02:58 |
| aaroninfidel | I don't know how to restart it. | 02:58 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: did you add the correct letters | 02:58 |
| jdsbluedevl | can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out | 02:58 |
| Zeu5 | maco: what do you mean by run "top"? | 02:59 |
| Roky | Does anyone here have a laptop with a core i3 or i5 succesfully running on any variation of *nix? | 02:59 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | Jordan_U, I boot alternate installer from hda11 , but it looks for CD and can not install, I guess I have to add some grub option, so the installator will know where are the installation files. | 02:59 |
| tertl3 | i did a crontab @reboot and I got it working after some trouble | 02:59 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | tyranos, my CDrw is unreadable | 02:59 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, and youo cant boot off a usb key or flash drive ? | 02:59 |
| gonzoBLUE | man I love lubuntu | 02:59 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: Please read the link that I gave you. | 02:59 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: what do you mean by add the correct letters? i run the scheduled task manually within gnome-scheduler.it works so i dun understand why the scheduler does not work | 03:00 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | tyranos, I do not have it | 03:00 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: please elaborate how you got crontab to work | 03:00 |
| RondoRaven | after changing kernels I have lost my splash screen. does anybody know how to fix? | 03:00 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: thank you very much | 03:00 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | Jordan_U, I responsed as the given exaple is, on that link. :) what could be improved :) ? | 03:00 |
| gonzoBLUE | apt-get install gdm I believe | 03:00 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: someone walked me through it but hang on I'll try to find it | 03:01 |
| maco | Zeu5: the top command shows what commands are running | 03:01 |
| zkw | hello | 03:01 |
| tyranos | Jordan_U, you waisted my time | 03:01 |
| tyranos | :P | 03:01 |
| nibblyn | jdb_, | 03:02 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | tyranos, I had no problem with arch about that :-D | 03:02 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | Jordan_U, I had no problem with arch about that :-D | 03:02 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: here it is to run irssi at boot up @reboot sleep 50 && screen -d -m -S irssi irssi | 03:02 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: "booting the alternate installer from hda11" is still a step, not a goal. I assume, for example, that you want to install Ubuntu, and there is something stopping you from doing that normally by booting from CD. | 03:02 |
| Zeu5 | maco: i run top but i see nothing that looks like svn update OR gnome-schedule or cron | 03:02 |
| bastid_raZor | tertl3: you have to use /full/paths/to/command in cron | 03:03 |
| UBUNTUnoCD | Jordan_U, yes, no CD , no usb drive | 03:03 |
| jdsbluedevl | can anyone here help me get my Internet connection working? I plug in my Ethernet cable, Ubuntu tries hard to connect, and then ultimately times out | 03:03 |
| tertl3 | bastid_raZor: it works | 03:03 |
| maco | Zeu5: hmm in that case maybe: while [1] ; do ps -ef | grep "svn" ; done | 03:03 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: i am trying to run a svn update. my command as i have mentioned just now is working because i run it manually. i am just stumped as to why it appears not to be running every minute as i planned. do you have an insight into this? | 03:03 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, it is possible i did it once on my old computer with broken cd rom, ijust cant find that guide | 03:04 |
| pvl1 | i cant get a second hd to mount as 777, i tried using pysdm and that was no luck | 03:04 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: no, I think you have typed something incorrectly or left something out of your command | 03:04 |
| === gtoy is now known as blackscreen | ||
| Zeu5 | bastid_raZor: tertl3 was trying to help me with my cron issue. which i deeply appreciate. do you have any insights as to how i can get my scheduled tasks to work? | 03:04 |
| crf | hi, when I don't use the computer for ten minutes, I have the screen set to go blank. When I come back, it asks me for my password | 03:05 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: try #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:05 |
| crf | How do I stop it asking for my password? | 03:05 |
| tertl3 | crf, screensaver | 03:05 |
| joshmuffin | Hello, is anyone free to lend me a hand with conky? | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: The absolute easiest method is to boot the netboot installer (which is just a kernel and initramfs) | 03:05 |
| crf | hi tertl3, could you explain a bit more? | 03:05 |
| tertl3 | crf, so to screensaver settings and try to change it | 03:06 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: i disagree. but you may be right. here it is : svn update /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp | 03:06 |
| shodan45 | would burning an ubuntu cd iso onto a dvd work? | 03:06 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: i go post in offtopic as well. i hope it works | 03:06 |
| QpSmiley | How can I disable the graphics driver I enabled that screwed up my gdm? | 03:06 |
| tertl3 | Zeu5: what about the interval? | 03:06 |
| merma | shodan45, yes | 03:06 |
| tyranos | UBUNTUnoCD, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-ubuntukubuntuedubuntuxubuntu-without-cdrom-drive.html | 03:06 |
| crf | ok tertl3, I'll look, thanks. | 03:06 |
| shodan45 | merma, ty | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | UBUNTUnoCD: I think that the installer might complain if it's booted from the same drive you're installing to, even if you aren't modifying the particular partition it's on. | 03:06 |
| nibblyn | jdsbluedevl, so this is a fresh install? which means it worked before? | 03:06 |
| tyranos | Jordan_U, it is possible i didnt check the link i posted | 03:06 |
| jdsbluedevl | nibblyn: yes | 03:07 |
| tyranos | Jordan_U, it is possible i did it, check the link i posted | 03:07 |
| joshmuffin | can anyone help me with conky? | 03:07 |
| nibblyn | jdsbluedevl, do you use a router? | 03:07 |
| jdsbluedevl | nibblyn: although I was having issues with my second Ethernet card when trying to set up an ICS, which is why I did a clean install, but I digress | 03:07 |
| jdsbluedevl | nibblyn: no | 03:07 |
| bastid_raZor | joshmuffin: ask in the channel, someone may be able to help | 03:07 |
| tyranos | joshmuffin, go to the #conky channel | 03:08 |
| joshmuffin | @bastid RaZor: no one is replying | 03:08 |
| Zeu5 | tertl3: i dont quite understand your instruction but i think you meant this: * * * * * svn update /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp # JOB_ID_1 | 03:08 |
| jdsbluedevl | I've seen the issue a few times in the forum, but I haven't seen how it was solved. All of them were left hanging | 03:08 |
| jdsbluedevl | nibblyn: I've seen the issue a few times in the forum, but I haven't seen how it was solved. All of them were left hanging | 03:08 |
| bastid_raZor | joshmuffin: i haven't seen you ask an actual question in this channel. | 03:08 |

| achester | Hey quick question, trying to install some packages non-interactively. I found this for skipping whiptail dialogs but is there some way to pass along what to chose to whiptail? http://snowulf.com/2008/12/04/truly-non-interactive-unattended-apt-get-install/ | 03:09 |
| SirMoo | Funny to see someone post one of Snowulfs articles in here! | 03:10 |
| achester | Why's that? =p it was one of the first google results I found haha | 03:11 |
| sdorand | anyone know if vimeo uses a CMS for their overall templating, etc? | 03:11 |
| nibblyn | jdsbluedevl, that's seems to be too complicated for my knowledge, sorry, try to describe your problem in a specific way, your last sentence was much better that saying "I can't connect", they will pick you up | 03:11 |
| SirMoo | Ehh. I know 'em from another IRC. Did not know he was that well indexed. | 03:12 |
| aaroninfidel | anyone use EC2? | 03:12 |
| jdsbluedevl | ok, let me try this again. I made a clean install of Ubuntu Lucid, but cannot get a connection to the Internet. The network manager times out every time I plug the Ethernet cable in. Can someone please help me resolve this? | 03:12 |
| pvl1 | jdsbluedevl, wireless or wired | 03:13 |
| jdsbluedevl | pvi1: wired | 03:13 |
| zkw | anyone comes frome china ? | 03:13 |

| Aliv3 | big problem | 03:14 |

| aaroninfidel | Hi, does anyone here use Amazon EC2? I need a little help getting my instance to allow public connections... | 03:15 |
| zkw | my english is bad | 03:15 |
| greezmunkey | jds | 03:15 |
| jdsbluedevl | pvi1: that being said, there are only two lines, and they pertain to lo | 03:15 |

| CaptainTrek | !cn | zkw | 03:15 |
| ubottu | zkw: please see above | 03:15 |
| hiexpo | cummicating through martians right now | 03:15 |
| jdsbluedevl | pvi1: so there are no entries for eth0 or eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:15 |
| centr0 | is there anyway for compiz to work with fglrx drivers on ubuntu 10? | 03:15 |
| manchot | is exim the default MTA in ubuntu? | 03:15 |
| jdsbluedevl | pvi1: which i guess means I have to make the entries? | 03:16 |
| Aliv3 | jdsbluedevl if no internet how are you on freenode? | 03:16 |
| jdsbluedevl | Aliv3: another computer | 03:16 |
| Aliv3 | oh | 03:16 |
| blackscreen | does anyone here had problems with video card on lucid? | 03:16 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: what are you connecting your ethernet cable to, cable/dsl modem? Does that device hand out addresses? Do you have a link light? | 03:16 |
| masshuu | i have a complete backup of a server in a sub directory. is there a way to get the list of packages installed in this backup | 03:16 |
| pvl1 | jdsbluedevl, i message you outside the irc, can we move into there? | 03:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: university T1 | 03:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | pvi1: ok | 03:17 |
| hiexpo | !ask | blackscreen | 03:17 |
| ubottu | blackscreen: 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. :-) | 03:17 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: So you are connected to a LAN, do you have a link light? | 03:17 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: yes, link light is on, but I just can't connect | 03:18 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: left click the network manager icon in the upper right of your screen, do you see an available connection, maybe called auto eth0? | 03:19 |
| no-name | how do you run an app under a different audio type? (e.g. pulse, alsa | 03:19 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: the problem is in /etc/network/interfaces, there is only one entry in there, and it pertains to lo. No eth0 or eth1 in that file | 03:19 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: that only means that network manager is available to manage your connections, it's bby design. | 03:20 |
| jdsbluedevl | oh | 03:20 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: oh right, the entries would have to be commented out anyways | 03:20 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: so left click the NM icon, is there an availabe connection? | 03:21 |
| blackscreen | what does it mean if i don't ask i can't ask?? :) | 03:21 |
| xyzaffair | using the broadcom STA propriatery in 10.04 but getting poor signal strengths / slow transfers about 1.5mbs at best and im sitting next to an N router, any ideas? | 03:21 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: just eth1, and I tried it. It times out on me | 03:21 |
| QpSmiley | If i startx i get (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. ... what should I do? | 03:21 |
| Alejandro89 | anybody knows how to install a Canon Pixma iP 1500 Printer in Lucid Lynx? | 03:21 |
| QpSmiley | im trying to load my gdm but it wont start up I'm in tty1 | 03:21 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: dhclient wasn't getting any DHCPOFFERS | 03:21 |
| pvl1 | Alejandro89, google around for it to see if thers a driver | 03:21 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, do you already have one running? | 03:22 |
| QpSmiley | one what? gdm or tty1? | 03:22 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: ok, right click that same icon, select edit connections, what do you see there under wired connections? | 03:22 |
| Alejandro89 | the problem is that they are not any drivers for iP1500. | 03:22 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, are you running another xserver at the same time | 03:22 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: Auth eth0 and Auto eth1 | 03:22 |
| pvl1 | Alejandro89, sorry, i doubr your gonan have any luck. unless you can port a windows driver somehow | 03:22 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, 1.5 within a lan or the internet | 03:23 |
| Shade37 | i need help. Im a bit new to linux and this irc, so how do i get past the "ban" on the #backtrack-linux channel? | 03:23 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: in a terminal window, run ifconfig - what interfaces show up? Is eth0 one of them? | 03:23 |
| QpSmiley | to be honest I don't know ... before i tried to enable a driver(NVIDIA) and when i restarted my gdm got all messed up .. so it started in tty1 so I'm just trying to get back to where I was prior to enabling the driver | 03:23 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: ifconfig shows both eth0 and eth1 | 03:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Shade37: ask in #freenode | 03:23 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: as well as eth0:avahi and eth1:avahi | 03:23 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: edit auto eth0, what do you see for method? | 03:24 |
| blackscreen | mo muri da | 03:24 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, ah, try restarting | 03:24 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, within lan | 03:24 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: belay that... | 03:24 |
| Shade37 | bastid_raZor: thx for the tip | 03:24 |
| QpSmiley | tried it several times | 03:24 |
| acerimmer | Shade37: sorry, you'll have to ask the board mods over there - nothing to do with this channel. | 03:24 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: Automatic (DHCP) | 03:24 |
| Alejandro89 | I found a web where somebody explains how to install it but I get in troubles in one step. | 03:24 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, was getting about 3.0mb on windows so I know something is wrong and my connection % is bad | 03:24 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: do you also have a wireless interface installed? | 03:24 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: no | 03:25 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, you sure u got a good driver on it then | 03:25 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, im using the one from hardware manager the broadcom STA | 03:25 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: ok, try this in a terminal window: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - see what happens... | 03:26 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, you most likely need to reinstall the driver then | 03:26 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: ok, what next? | 03:26 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, i gotcha. now is this over http? or howd u check it | 03:26 |
| QpSmiley | pvl1, I would love to how do I do that in tty1 ... or I will just go back to the default driver | 03:26 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, um nfs client/server transfer a big file | 03:26 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: left click the NM icon, look for available connections | 03:27 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: same eth1, same timeout problem | 03:27 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, ok, you sure got ports open and such? | 03:27 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, to make it easy, just install envy-ng | 03:27 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, that doesn't matter on a lan... | 03:27 |
| bastid_raZor | !envy-ng | 03:27 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: ok, well then we'll have to dig a bit deeper... | 03:27 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, it depends on the dhcp server in the router, if you have a modern router, it doesnt matter | 03:27 |
| QpSmiley | pvl1 im new so would sudo apt-get install envy-ng work? | 03:27 |
| bastid_raZor | !envyng | 03:27 |
| ubottu | EnvyNG is a program to install newer version of nVidia or ATi drivers, it can be found in !Universe as "envyng-gtk" (for Gtk/Gnome) or "envyng-qt" (for Qt/KDE). It is NOT a supported method to install video drivers; please only use it if standard methods fail and at your own risk - See also !BinaryDriver | 03:27 |
| pvl1 | QpSmiley, yep | 03:27 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, its an N router, anyway my signal % tells the story its way too low | 03:28 |
| greezmunkey | jdsbluedevl: is the comp you are using now connected to the same network? | 03:28 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, been trying this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390979 but I cant get past make. someone else posted same issues I have headers installed but it's not seeing them or something weird. | 03:28 |
| pvl1 | xyzaffair, my best guess is the driver is iffy | 03:29 |
| jdsbluedevl | greezmunkey: no, laptop is connected to university wireless, Ubuntu computer should be connected to wired Ethernet connection | 03:29 |
| xyzaffair | pvl1, its the one ubuntu ships ..... | 03:29 |

| jrtayloriv | Grydilla -- thx, will try | 03:35 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | Is anyone familiar with the hosts-file. It's a simple text file you put into the /etc directory in order to block unwanted spammers and other such crap ... | 03:35 |
| sebsebseb | uo3273-fvarklb: it can be set up to block access to certain websites and such though | 03:35 |

| pvl1 | godzirra, yeah you dont need a private key. basically youll log in with a username and pass, but itll encrypt the data being sent using aprivate key that you can automatically accept with whatever ssh client you use. however there are options to actually require a specific key | 03:43 |
| godzirra | pvl1: When I try and login, it won't let me unless I use the private key. | 03:43 |

| pvl1 | godzirra, ok can you access the system tho? it seems like you just need to edit ur config file | 03:47 |
| godzirra | Yes, I can access it fine. | 03:47 |
| godzirra | I just have to specify the private key file. | 03:48 |
| godzirra | And I don't wnt to have to do that. | 03:48 |
| prince_jammys | godzirra: what is the path to the file? | 03:48 |
| YAY4green | Hey can someone tell me what files they are using to watch today's latest videos on Lucid 10.04? I can't seem to read some DVDs even though I did install the "missing media files" Kubuntu 10.04 asks you after install. Thanks :) | 03:48 |
| godzirra | prince_jammys: Why does it matter? | 03:48 |
| prince_jammys | godzirra: guess. | 03:48 |

| rshakin | pvl1: no the mails already stored on their servers... i know if i just forward them i can do it any other way | 03:51 |
| rshakin | pvl1: there are about 2000 messages and forwarding them by hand is out of the question | 03:51 |

| ebovine | You can turn on POP3 or IMAP on gmail and use any mail backup program or just use any mail client. | 03:52 |
| pvl1 | rshakin, well basically, you could download them all to an email app and try to back em up. i tnik evolution can o that | 03:52 |

| rshakin | pvl1: what about exporting them back up to another provider such as yahoo or something like that | 03:53 |
| Jordan_U | Goatee: You can hold shift during boot and choose recovery mode, but that will bring you to a recovery menu (where you can get to a terminal to fix things). It won't bring you to the GDM. | 03:53 |

| keith | good nite all | 04:11 |
| bricky | kathe? lol | 04:11 |
| kathe | bricky, that's talking about an error, I guess what you are asking is either can you install XP or can you get around the error | 04:11 |
| QpSmiley | pvl1: sent you a message | 04:12 |
| kathe | bricky, or are you asking how to adjust a windows install file | 04:12 |
| bricky | kathe: can I can install it on a physical partition with linux | 04:12 |
| bricky | Can I | 04:12 |
| foolguy | ok, I am in the ubuntu software center. I understand how to use programs from the terminal, but how do I add them to the applications? | 04:13 |
| kathe | bricky, yes you can follow the instructions, but the instructions asume you know something you probably don't. | 04:13 |

| bricky | kathe: I would gladly follow them, if I could find them | 04:13 |
| bastid_raZor | foolguy: right click applications.. edit menus .. but normally installing something that uses the gui it adds it automatically | 04:13 |
| bricky | kathe: what is that>? | 04:13 |
| kathe | bricky, it's called slip streaming, it gives you a generic set of instructions, but basically it's you create your own XP install disk that has some modifications | 04:14 |

| bhavamitra | hello, at ubuntu 10.04 server install, i've created two lvm volumes encrypted and one not encrypted. the not encrypted one i could successfully set it to mount at /boot, but the encrypted ones i couldn't as it just flashed the screen and kept on the same menu portion. anything wrong? | 04:19 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | ZachK: OK. Yeah - I just reinstalled 9.10. All I've done so far on Mozilla is get the hosts-file from mvps.org - and do the Google search required to get there. KlamAV is telling me I have these viruses ... name of file = /usr/lib/lib*.so, name of the problem is "Encryption.Zip". Are library files typically encrypted?

| ZachK_ | dr3mro: ok and? | 04:25 |
| shadows090 | docteh there is a setting to change what happens when you close the lid. some of the ubuntus have been a bit iffy with the laptops and hybernate/standby though | 04:25 |

| QpSmiley | okay I'm back I made a topic on the forums if anyone has time maybe they could check it out :D thank you | 04:27 |
| shadows090 | cppisweird, i probably can't help (since i've never had that problem), but you say it stops in the middle of installation? | 04:27 |

| lieb | Hey guys I just compiled xchat_auth.c , I had no error messages, but I can still see ~ before my nick in the whois on irc, which is problematic on the undernet server, anyone have experience with ident in ubuntu? I'm using 10.04 | 04:29 |
| === Zi is now known as Zhwazi | ||
| shadows090 | cppisweird, under http://learn.clemsonlinux.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Install_from_USB_drive#Booting_up_and_Installing it says that it should ask where the iso is located | 04:29 |
| CppIsWeird | i see. | 04:29 |
| shadows090 | which is weird, because i don't recall it asking me that (i've used unetbootin for a few isos before). does it ask any any point in time though? | 04:29 |
| CppIsWeird | i did have another cd in the cdrom, perhaps if i remove it. brb i will try again | 04:30 |
| ZykoticK9 | CppIsWeird, i could certainly be wrong! but i didn't think server or alternate cd worked from USB, i've certainly heard of the cd error before. best of luck man. i hope i'm wrong :) | 04:30 |
| shadows090 | cppisweird; alright. and maybe zykotick9 is right :-/ | 04:30 |
| istvan | hey, i just read tar's --help but i can't figure out how to extract a .tar into a different directory. help? | 04:31 |
| mechdave | istvan: all I do is navigate to the directory I want the un tar'd file in and then type tar -xvf /path/to/tar/file | 04:32 |
| CppIsWeird | heh, thats sort of odd. it would seem to me that the server version would have more use with alternative installation methods. | 04:33 |
| ZykoticK9 | CppIsWeird, it does - but i'm not sure about USB | 04:33 |
| shauno | istvan: it's oddly worded, but -C /destination/dir/ does it | 04:33 |
| istvan | ah, ok | 04:33 |
| istvan | thanks both of you! | 04:34 |
| shadows090 | cppisweird, you'd think so. i guess 10.04 is still more of a bare bones OS | 04:34 |
| CppIsWeird | ZykoticK9, ive found tutorials on netbooting bit not from windows. does the dhcp server itself have to be pxe enabled? | 04:35 |
| SeanInSeattle | WebSiteAdministrationQuestion: Hey all. Can someone help me understand what the term media means/applies-to? I heard that from a web developer friend of mine... and I didn't understand its use. | 04:35 |
| ZykoticK9 | CppIsWeird, sorry man i've never tried using any of the net booting stuff. good luck! | 04:35 |
| CppIsWeird | ZykoticK9, thanks anyways. :) | 04:35 |
| shadows090 | SeanInSeattle, media just means music or videos usually, if that's the question | 04:36 |
| mopi | CppIsWeird: No you do not | 04:36 |
| lieb | I just compiled xchat_auth.c , but I can still see ~ before my nick in the whois on irc, which is problematic on the undernet server, anyone have experience with enabling ident in ubuntu or at least this fake one? I'm using 10.04 | 04:37 |
| mopi | CppIsWeird, what exactly are you trying to do? I just jumped in, I've done lots of stuff with PXE | 04:37 |
| SeanInSeattle | shadows098: I got the impression that it was a group of file types which included css.... | 04:37 |
| CppIsWeird | ubuntu-server on cd-romless box. | 04:37 |
| CppIsWeird | we just established that usb will not work so now were trying to attack netboot. | 04:37 |
| hiexpo | lieb, /msg nickserv identify nic password | 04:37 |
| chalcedny | hiexpo, undernet has X | 04:38 |
| mopi | CppIsWeird, the easiest way to do that is to just boot from a flash drive. PXE is a long process. | 04:38 |

| Appl6 | Cittadino: Look up wireshark. | 04:38 |
| mopi | Cittadino, Wireshark? | 04:38 |
| shadows090 | cittadino, you can do it with squid proxy; but i'm not really familiar with it to give instructions | 04:38 |
| KB1JWQ | Cittadino: tcpdump. | 04:39 |
| shadows090 | cittadino: yeah wireshark would be MUCH easier lol | 04:39 |

| lieb | I tried xinetd, oidentd before, and now im up to loading a fake one | 04:40 |

| chalcedny | my computer froze now it let me reboot it.. are there things i ought to do? | 04:41 |
| Cittadino | ok ill check it out ty | 04:41 |
| lieb | it connects me but still prompts to /quote pass01234 something like that every once in a while | 04:41 |
| shadows090 | cittadino: that would probably be easiest. it's possible to set up a real internal proxy server via squid (connects between the host and switch/router) that does full logs, but that's quite a hassle | 04:41 |
| hiexpo | i'm lost than | 04:41 |
| chalcedny | lieb, the quote pass thing can be bypassed with a script also | 04:41 |
| lieb | Ive compiled xchat_auth correctly into my /home/auth/ | 04:42 |
| lieb | ive suidroot it too | 04:42 |

| Cittadino | shadows090 but i'd just get web connections in that case, correct me if im wrong | 04:42 |
| chalcedny | lieb, windows or linux, there is a script for it, ask in #xchat | 04:42 |

| lieb | linux | 04:42 |

| shadows090 | cittadino: squid can log just about anything (even how much resources the hosts are using). it's quite advanced for what you're trying to do; and i'm not too familiar with it to answer specific questions. there's probably a way to just log ip connections though | 04:44 |
| hiexpo | bricky, one sec i have it | 04:44 |
| bricky | hiexpo: thats just step one and its taking me hours | 04:44 |

| k-rad | lieb, then restart servicer | 04:46 |
| k-rad | service | 04:46 |
| ZykoticK9 | benkevan, does it have to be "your" login manager? it's easy to take screenshots of VM's login windows, not sure how you could do it on a native system though! good luck. | 04:47 |

| acerimmer_ | genewitch: NO NO A THOUSAND TIMES NO! | 04:56 |
| genewitch | acerimmer_: yeah i thought it was odd that it even asked. | 04:57 |
| mopi | markcl, just give each computer a static ip address in the same subnet with the same mask, etc | 04:57 |
| biggestchops | acerimmer_ what is that line from | 04:57 |
| kathe | markcl, what type of connection, do you just want to copy files, play games, basically proticols | 04:57 |
| acerimmer_ | genewitch: at least research grub/wubi before you attempt it | 04:57 |
| soge | my sound is mute and i cant unmute it. I'm using ubuntu v10.04 lts, who do i unmute it | 04:57 |
| biggestchops | yes yes a thousand times yes | 04:57 |
| acerimmer_ | biggestchops: that's from my life, man. everyday | 04:57 |
| biggestchops | is it jane austen? | 04:57 |
| genewitch | acerimmer_: it was a system update thing, it asked if i wanted to continue without installing grub | 04:57 |
| biggestchops | it is funny that someone named acerimmer_ would be quoting jane austen unwittingly | 04:58 |

| shadows090 | markcl, the older ubuntus (6 versions) could use bridge-utils to set it up (should be in repository), but it did require some manual connections | 04:58 |
| shadows090 | manual settings** | 04:59 |
| mopi | markcl: static is your best option for crossover | 04:59 |
| evon | anyone know any screenlets that play music other than MPD | 04:59 |
| kathe | markcl, you can use bridge-utils, or if you have a router | 04:59 |

| edbian | genewitch, It's the same driver | 05:00 |
| thompa | how are you supposed to join irc support ubuntu? | 05:00 |

| mknarr | prince_jammys, thx | 05:07 |
| kathe | soge, usually it's some jacked up configuration in pulse or alsa that does this, it's been a problem since they put pulse audio in ubuntu | 05:07 |

| kathe | soge, you will find lots of people with the problem, I've had it on every machine, and the fix has been different every time | 05:07 |
| kathe | soge, the worst case scenerio is getting rid of pulse | 05:07 |
| kathe | soge, there is an artical called getting rid of the beast called pulse or similiar | 05:08 |
| soge | kathe: pulse... alright i'll have to research this then , damn. | 05:08 |

| === pavel989 is now known as pvl1 | ||
| Izinucs | copantl: if you want to try NM again then do so with wpa disabled.. no security.. if it connects then you know you have to work on the encryption side.. | 05:22 |
| copantl | its suppose to work right | 05:22 |
| copantl | ok Izinucs | 05:22 |
| Izinucs | copantl: not sure if it's accurate but I think NM will only do wpa2 | 05:22 |
| r0zz | hi, im working with j2me using netbeans ide on karmic but lock and die when i run my aplication, what do i have to do? | 05:22 |

| Izinucs | copantl: strange.. I haven't tried encryption on my laptop yet so I haven't struggled with your issue.. but still that's strange. | 05:25 |
| glorious__ | r0zz: I went to that channel and it looks like there are a few people over there. Might be worth a try. | 05:25 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, pysdm. im trying to mount a drive with 777 permission, but it tells me that it isnt valid | 05:25 |
| kathe | copantl, what is your nic? | 05:26 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: you probably want 000 | 05:26 |
| copantl | you know the extrange part.... after about 30 ninutes the applet appear in my panel | 05:26 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: umask is the inverse of the mode you'd use in say, chmod. | 05:26 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, uh, alright ty. inverse? | 05:26 |
| r0zz | glorious__: thanks im going to try again | 05:26 |
| copantl | but every time when i tried to edit a network or add a vpn get hang! | 05:27 |
| genewitch | Two things: how do i make the HDMI audio work on my radeon, and how do i tell ubuntu/ati that i want the Right monitor to be "main display" so my desktop is on it? | 05:27 |
| Izinucs | copantl: typically NM and wicd don't coexist well.. you typically have to uninstall one or the other | 05:27 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: the opposite. 777 denies everything to everyone | 05:27 |
| genewitch | they're "multi display" but the bars and stuff are on monitor 1, i want them on monitor 2 | 05:27 |
| pvl1 | prince, oh lol, now i feel like an idiot. but why dont chmod and this coincide? | 05:27 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: $ umask 777; >foo; ls -l foo; ... ---------- 1 mischa mischa 0 Jun 11 00:25 foo | 05:27 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: yeah, you don't want that :) | 05:27 |
| copantl | ok... the problem is if i unisntall wicd ..i cant get connect | 05:28 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, so is it that chmod is the opposite of it? im confused on y they dont work the same | 05:28 |
| kathe | copantl, have you tried removing the notification box and readding it | 05:28 |
| kathe | to the panel | 05:28 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: i don't know why | 05:28 |
| kremlon | does anyone know of a proxy scanner that works on linux? | 05:28 |
| copantl | kathe: remove it from the panel? | 05:29 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, oh well, thank you for the help though | 05:29 |
| Izinucs | copantl: you could download the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com and have it available "just in case" .. when you uninstall it will not uninstall the dependancies I believe | 05:29 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: welcome. wikipedia perhaps talks about umask's history. | 05:29 |
| kathe | copantl, you said, the nm manager shows up after 30 minutes right | 05:30 |
| copantl | Izinucs: good idea | 05:30 |
| copantl | kathe: yes | 05:30 |
| copantl | kathe: i did that i remoit from the panel but nothing | 05:30 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, i was already on it, but i guess i need to read into it. one more quick bit, how do i find the gid of a group? | 05:30 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: probably because umask cannot enable any _new_ permissions that weren't already enabled. | 05:30 |
| copantl | kathe: what version do you have? | 05:31 |
| kathe | copantl, the nm manager usually is part of the notification grouping, along with power and sound... if you remove the notification area, and readd it see if it shows up right away | 05:31 |
| kathe | copantl, I run 9.10 and 10.04 on my boxes | 05:31 |

| prince_jammys | pvl1: getent group | grep GroupName # the first 'group' is literal | 05:31 |
| copantl | kathe: not this problem in any one? | 05:31 |
| kathe | copantl, after an update on 9.04, and when i first installed 10.04, I had problems with the nm showing up, often it would be missing or show up as another icon | 05:32 |

| prince_jammys | pvl1: welcome | 05:32 |
| kathe | copantl, when I removed the notification area, and readded it, the nm would show up suddenly | 05:32 |

| kathe | copantl, then right click on the panel, choose add to panel, and select the notification area out of the list | 05:35 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: what is the umask you used? | 05:35 |

| STF | blue1: i would like to do it like you, but i've have the problem that i have the server '(it is an old Laptop) behind a router | 05:38 |
| pvl1 | prince_jammys, nay, its a gui for fstab written in python | 05:39 |
| prince_jammys | pvl1: ah. | 05:39 |

| rtronk | hello, i created a selections list, dpkg --get-selections > Installs | 05:40 |
| prince_jammys | !clone | 05:40 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 05:40 |
| rtronk | i replaced it with an existing sourcelist i created from another server. | 05:40 |
| copantl | kathe: yes i can tell that... get hang again | 05:40 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, be sure you have restricted extras installed and then try "mplayer -vo x11 $filename" | 05:40 |
| genewitch | :JKAHSDL:ASH | 05:40 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk: see if the factoid i hit prematurely helps. | 05:40 |
| kathe | coplantl, that's what i thought, my wife actually found a proceedure on some forum that fixes this | 05:41 |
| kathe | coplantl, unfortunately, i don't know where and she's not here | 05:41 |
| copantl | kathe: uggh what shame | 05:41 |
| kathe | coplantl, but it has to do with resetting the defaults | 05:41 |
| kathe | coplantl, to gnome | 05:41 |
| kathe | coplantl, I suggest searching the forums for the perm solution | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, sorry re-read your error, looks more like a codec issue then video output | 05:42 |
| kathe | coplantl, until then, that's a work around | 05:42 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: i am now installing restricted extras. | 05:42 |
| copantl | kathe: i thought that i have to compile from tar | 05:42 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, restricted should work | 05:42 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: erm. okie. i hope so too. | 05:42 |
| kathe | coplantl, no, it was something small, my wife just copied and pasted some commands in the terminal | 05:42 |
| crabgrass | well, #wget is dead. | 05:43 |
| copantl | kathe: those the guys of canonical knows about this issues? | 05:43 |
| crabgrass | anyone in here know wget fairly well? i'm trying to rip all the photos off a website, and my current method isn't working too well | 05:43 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: it didnt work. same problem | 05:43 |
| prince_jammys | crabgrass: have you looked at the mirroring examples at the bottom of wget's man page? | 05:43 |
| copantl | kathe: because this thing can take me to another distro | 05:43 |
| kathe | copantl, yep, she said there was a bug entry on it already, it has to do with the notification/gnome/nm conflict, working on a patch | 05:44 |

| genewitch | two questions again: How do i set which display is my primary (the one the desktop is on). and secondly, my blu ray drive completely DIES when ubuntu starts. won't eject, won't retract the tray, and i have to actually shut the computer off to get it to reboot (it hangs on SATA5 - the blu ray). | 05:44 |
| genewitch | The error is ATA 3 softreset failed | 05:44 |
| jack_ | Why does my computer shut down every time I try to burn a video DVD? | 05:45 |
| crabgrass | prince_jammys: yeah, and it did help some, but since the images themselves are hosted on another site, i have to run with -H to get them at all, and that's resulting in about 800 robots.txt files for each image. very innefficient. | 05:45 |
| copantl | kathe: ok thanks for all ... i will googling for the answer | 05:45 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, i'm downloading a rmvb but it will be a few minutes | 05:45 |
| kathe | copantl, I stay away from the LTS releases of ubuntu, they usually place the most resent push everything to the max they are willing to, so they can support it for that extended release time, but it takes them 6 months to patch up... 9.10 is what I run on most, and it's solid | 05:45 |
| genewitch | Xinerama isn't working properly either. should i file a bug? | 05:45 |
| kathe | copantl, np | 05:45 |
| copantl | kathe: you are complete right about versions.... i'm very coriuos thats kill me :) | 05:46 |
| prince_jammys | genewitch: now that you ask, you'll never rest until you do | 05:46 |
| genewitch | prince_jammys: could be. but it's not letting me use the entirety of my largest monitor. | 05:47 |
| prince_jammys | i'd search for that bug first | 05:47 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: thanks, i have to be away for 20 odd minutes. thank you if you can leave a message here for later. | 05:47 |

| KB1JWQ | steven89: Define "hidden?" | 05:48 |
| prince_jammys | a hidden PID? | 05:48 |
| steven89 | yeah | 05:48 |
| prince_jammys | explain. | 05:48 |
| steven89 | I ran unhide or whatever and it says it found a HIDDEN PID: 3301 | 05:48 |
| KB1JWQ | steven89: 'ps aux' as root should show anything running; if it's not there something's amiss. | 05:48 |

| corinth | Hey room. Anyone know how to switch the Radiance window controls to the right side of the decoration? | 05:49 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: mine cannot. i am not sure what i need to do to get it to work? | 05:49 |
| rww | !controls | corinth | 05:49 |
| ubottu | corinth: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see http://alturl.com/b6ja | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://alturl.com/x5d6 | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | jack_: see if your logs reveal anything. this used to happen to me (overheat) | 05:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, both of the files i download work | 05:49 |
| ZykoticK9 | rww, !controls is my favorite bot message - it links to my site ;) | 05:50 |
| rww | ZykoticK9: hehe :) | 05:50 |

| === mezquitale is now known as tucemiux | ||
| corinth | Thanks a ton, rww. | 05:50 |
| Zeu5 | ZykoticK9: so that means i downloaded a bogus file? | 05:51 |
| prince_jammys | jack_: less /var/log/dmesg.0 , for example | 05:51 |
| ZykoticK9 | Zeu5, ? the mplayer output in a terminal does give an error "ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec drv43260.dll" but it's working! | 05:52 |
| taiyal | I fixed the firefox/wine problem by removing the msttcorefonts folder and rebuilding the font cache | 05:52 |
| prince_jammys | jack_: gnome may come with a graphical log viewer, see the menus. | 05:53 |
| prince_jammys | you'd be interested in dmesg's log | 05:53 |
| steven89 | I ran 'ps aux' as root and it did now show the process for the PID. I later tried again and it only detected one as before but a different hidden PID. These hidden PIDs are not showing up with Sudo ps aux. What does this mean? The hidden PID number keeps changing. | 05:54 |
| mek8630 | Does anybody in here use Skype? | 05:54 |
| ZykoticK9 | taiyal, if you are running firefox under wine - it's a really good idea. it can open many sites impossible under any 'linux' native browsers, it's also actually faster then native firefox. | 05:54 |
| gtoy | my screen goes black at startup what can I do? | 05:54 |
| jack_ | prince_jammys: I found the log file viewer. What do I look for that says my computer overheated? | 05:54 |
| theadmin | Any way to make notifications be the old way? Like not somewhere in the middle but in top-right? | 05:54 |
| prince_jammys | jack_: look for 'CPU' to begin with | 05:54 |
| prince_jammys | jack_: specifically, look for the log entries at the time you shut down | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, good luck! | 05:55 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: ? | 05:55 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: One of Canonical's weirdnesses which I still haven't managed to fix lol | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, moving the notification window is very non-trivial. | 05:55 |
| genewitch | how do i tell ubuntu what display is my primary display? (IE change 2 to 1 and vice versa) | 05:55 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, i've seen hacks to do it, but have never done it myself | 05:56 |

| anthony | hi to all of you thanks to the idea of community i finally get Ubuntu 10.04 working on my computer. thank you so much... | 05:56 |
| greenjon | anthony: glad to hear that :) | 05:57 |
| mek8630 | anthony: I had a problem trying to install 10.04 what kind of problem was you having? | 05:57 |
| jack_ | prince_jammys: None of the log files have "cpu" in them. | 05:57 |
| mek8630 | anthony: but I was never able to fix the problem that is why I am asking | 05:57 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: I really want it back where it is supposed to be :/ | 05:58 |
| anthony | mek8630: first i boot the live cd and press f6 tho disable the acpi=off and apic... | 05:58 |
| theadmin | Canonical is hacking gnome like heck knows what | 05:59 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, those "hacking gnome" is what makes Ubuntu what it is! | 06:00 |
| mek8630 | anthony: why did you have to disable those? | 06:00 |
| theadmin | ZykoticK9: Oh?... Hm... I'd rather have it without this hack anyway | 06:00 |
| Mirshe | hi | 06:00 |
| genewitch | probably in a virtual machine | 06:00 |
| Mirshe | i'm confused | 06:00 |
| mek8630 | anthony: for some reason it quit in the middle of the installation on mine. After that it only wanted to run in command-line type | 06:00 |
| Mirshe | anyone know where to download the 64-bit version of flash? | 06:00 |
| ZykoticK9 | theadmin, that's why i leave it the way it is ;) | 06:00 |

| mek8630 | kathe: do you use a handset phone ? | 06:01 |
| kathe | mek8630 no | 06:01 |
| kathe | goodmami, you called it right, the lag is on wireless networks | 06:01 |
| mek8630 | kathe: ok thanks anyways I use a handset phone that plugs into the usb and i can't figure out how to install the driver for it so I can use it instead of a microphone | 06:02 |

| prince_jammys | crabgrass: yep | 06:28 |
| prince_jammys | you need 'jpg OR jpeg' | 06:28 |
| crabgrass | right | 06:28 |
| MikeChelen | Gnea, what would that be called? | 06:28 |
| prince_jammys | crabgrass: GNU find supports fancy regex for that, but no need. | 06:29 |
| bushy_halp | can someone help | 06:29 |
| prince_jammys | just use -o | 06:29 |
| crabgrass | wait, from the manpage: "expr1 -o expr2 Or; expr2 is not evaluated if expr1 is true." that doesn't sound good. | 06:29 |

| bushy_halp | i need to make a partition a vdi | 06:31 |
| prince_jammys | crabgrass: that should work. you need to escape the ( ) the same way you escape ';', so the shell doesn't touch those args. | 06:31 |

| Eugene89 | sick and tired of knowing bits and pieces without really knowing it | 07:28 |
| * ActionParsnip is a zombie | 07:28 | |
| prince_jammys | Eugene89: begin by reading a generalized guide, maybe from the internet, or debian sysadmin guide (installable through APT), or something like rutebook (also APT) | 07:28 |
| greezmunkey | ActionParsnip: brain eater?? | 07:28 |
| bazhang | !manual | Eugene89 check this | 07:28 |

| Dracco | Guys, I've got a question. I was wondering if it is possible to shutdown linux after for example 5 seconds? Important is that I want seconds delay, not minutes | 07:29 |
| Andorin | prince_jammys: But what did you mean by "IRC limbo"? | 07:29 |
| Jordan_U | SandGorgon: Do you have a Dell? | 07:29 |

| Eugene89 | xsist10: that really helps! thanks! | 07:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Dracco: shutdown -h +5 (check man shutdown for exact command but its like that) | 07:29 |
| Eugene89 | prince_jammys: will read the debian sysadmin guide | 07:30 |
| Dracco | +5 will shutdown in 5 minutes | 07:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Dracco: will require sudo too | 07:30 |
| Dracco | I want seconds | 07:30 |
| prince_jammys | Eugene89: get 'em all | 07:30 |

| banker247 | how to check current php version? | 07:30 |
| Jordan_U | SandGorgon: The real solution is to remove the horribly broken software that's overwriting grub (likely "Dell DataSafe" but it could be something else) | 07:30 |
| Dracco | and is it possible to break that 5 seconds? so i can stop shutting down? | 07:31 |
| prince_jammys | Eugene89: the sysadmin thing, rutebook (so-so general book about linux), and some URLs others sent you. | 07:31 |

| ActionParsnip | Robberhater: i'd ask in #fedora as the guest is the OS having the issue | 07:34 |

| ubottu | uo3273-fvarklb: 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? | 07:42 |
| theadmin | genewitch: apt-cache search query | 07:42 |
| khider | KB1JWQ:I tried ext 3 and ext 4 | 07:42 |
| KB1JWQ | khider: Mount them read/write? | 07:43 |
| indus | x_, no its the cpu core and i assume you have a dual or 4 core | 07:43 |
| trupheenix | ActionParsnip, ok but i keeping this Permission denied (publickey). | 07:43 |
| khider | KB1JWQ: It says the device is busy | 07:43 |
| theadmin | banker247: It'd replace all Lucid sources with Karmic and put it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic, no? | 07:43 |
| banker247 | i guess | 07:43 |
| indus | x_, it reports temp of each core so core 0, core 1 , core 2 etc , | 07:43 |
| banker247 | its for downgrading | 07:43 |
| KB1JWQ | khider: Okay, forcibly unmount it, and mount it read write. | 07:43 |
| genewitch | theadmin: I know, thanks, but that doesn't answer my question | 07:43 |
| indus | x_, dont rely on it too much man, its junk | 07:43 |
| x_ | ty indus ... now to find out the voltage my cpu is runnning at | 07:43 |
| indus | x_, check bios for voltages | 07:44 |
| theadmin | genewitch: It does what you described, finds packages in apt | 07:44 |
| khider | KB1JWQ: Dolphin always pops up and identifies it and says it is already mounted | 07:44 |
| indus | x_, its better | 07:44 |
| indus | x_, lm-sensors give too many wrong outputs | 07:44 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | When I ran a scan on KlamAV - it brought up all these Encrypted.ZIP files in my /usr/lib directory. Are these false positives or a Windows virus - or nothing at all? | 07:44 |
| x_ | yah .. i am trying to get cpu scaling to work ... it works on tthe freq ... but i want to check my undervolt success | 07:44 |
| khider | KB1JWQ: Maybe I did not format it correctly | 07:44 |
| theadmin | banker247: It won't downgrade like that, APT preffers higher versions to older ones | 07:44 |
| indus | x_, ah i too have undervolted my x3 | 07:44 |
| theadmin | banker247: You'll just end up breakin it | 07:44 |
| ActionParsnip | trupheenix: could try: sudo apt-get --purge remove openssh-server; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get install openssh-server ,see if that gives you vanilla settings | 07:44 |
| x_ | any way to use lm-sensors to report voltage? | 07:44 |
| indus | x_, yes it reports all things | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | !downgrade | banker247 | 07:45 |
| indus | x_, just install and run the steps i said | 07:45 |
| ubottu | banker247: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 07:45 |
| trupheenix | ActionParsnip, I am on Amazon EC2 :( can't remove ssh server. then i won't be able to access. | 07:45 |
| x_ | ok indus ... i tried sensors .. will now run sensorsd | 07:45 |
| banker247 | i'm downgrading my php | 07:45 |
| KB1JWQ | uo3273-fvarklb: Have an example of a file it's alerting on? | 07:45 |
| banker247 | from 5.3 to 5.2 | 07:45 |
| indus | x_, just 'sensord' | 07:45 |
| ActionParsnip | trupheenix: I don't know what that is | 07:45 |
| x_ | oh ok | 07:45 |
| khider | KB1JWQ: Now I do not even have permission to format it | 07:46 |
| theadmin | banker247: You can't downgrade. You need to explicitly just install an older version | 07:46 |
| banker247 | theadmin ok how do i undo that last command? | 07:46 |
| khider | KB1JWQ: There is a lock icon on partition manager and it will not let me do anything | 07:46 |
| banker247 | sed s/lucid/karmic/g /etc/apt/sources.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list | 07:46 |
| banker247 | this thing whatever it did | 07:46 |
| theadmin | banker247: According to what I saw, "rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list" should do it | 07:46 |
| prince_jammys | banker247: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list | 07:46 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | KB1JWQ: Yeah - just give me a second ... | 07:47 |
| prince_jammys | ditto | 07:47 |
| Eugene89 | prince_jammsys: Rute Book seems awesome! Thanks! | 07:47 |
| theadmin | banker247: Then, sudo apt-get install php5~5.2 I guess | 07:47 |
| prince_jammys | Eugene89: cool. | 07:47 |
| mcl0vin | howdy folks | 07:47 |
| banker247 | E: Couldn't find package php5~5.2 | 07:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Eugene89: you'll learn more just using the OS than any book can show you | 07:47 |
| khider | Does anyone know how to format an external drive? I am using partition manager and so far I have permission to do nothing | 07:47 |
| === Tina is now known as Kasjopaja | ||
| prince_jammys | Eugene89: the bash guide in it kinda sucks. for that, see the guide in the #bash irc channel topic. | 07:47 |
| theadmin | banker247: I forgot how to specify the version :/ | 07:47 |
| x_ | indus, i am on lucid ... i installed lm-sensors from the repo .. i dont think it installed sensord | 07:48 |
| khider | Partition manager identifies it, but I cannot do anything to the drive | 07:48 |
| Eugene89 | btw, anybody knows why when i copy a file to a ftp server using ncftp, the filename changes to a short version like M9THL5~Y.GZ? | 07:48 |
| x_ | i have sensors ... and sensors-detect | 07:48 |
| xsist10 | Eugene89: sounds like it's trying to make it DOS safe (8 char files names). Maybe a configuration issue? | 07:49 |
| ActionParsnip | khider: gksudo gparted ,should do it. You can also use: sudo fdisk /dev/disknamehere and make the partiton there (replace disknamehere with the disks actual name. sudo fdisk -l ,will show the names of your disks) | 07:49 |
| Eugene89 | ActionParsnip: Yeah, i have been using the OS pretty much, got 2 redhat servers running as webservers for some sql databases. Managed to setup simple backup cron, raid and stuff, but I feel that I'm walking around blind lol | 07:49 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: What file system should I use? BSD? DOS? I don't get many options... | 07:50 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: is the device going to be used in windows systems? | 07:50 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | KB1JWQ: OK - here is an example: /usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libpackage2.so (name of file), Encrypted.ZIP (name of the problem) | 07:50 |
| Jimmio | Hey all. I installed kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu-desktop. Changed the startup image.. changed the cursor.. can't change it back. Any idea? | 07:50 |
| happosade | Hello. I am now building (S)FTP-server with RAID5. How to get those FTP-login-files into RAID-state? | 07:50 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: No, I just want to use it as a drive to back up files | 07:50 |
| SandGorgon | Jordan_U, I think ur suggestion about Dell Datasafe worked. let me try it a couple more times just to be sure though. | 07:51 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: But there is a drop file that gives me a very limited range of choices | 07:51 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/88546 post by Cameron W says that there is an option to mark encrypted zip files as viruses. Search http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/man/clamscan.1.in for encrypted to see option [i'm not excactly sure where you set this option] | 07:51 |

| x_ | ok i ran sensors-detect and it found many sensors ... but i cannot see any voltage reading in my 'sensors' o/p | 07:51 |
| Jimmio | Also, what package was in 9.10 that isn't here anymore that allowed right click Encrypt/Decrypt of files? | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Charbel: cool | 07:52 |
| dukz | hi guys, is there anyway i can benchmark my disk through the terminal? Just two figures i Need, random writes and read | 07:52 |
| khider | For a back up drive, should I use extended or primary, and what file system, ext 2, 3, or 4? | 07:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: this shows how to setup a disk in commandline. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?chap=4&part=1 | 07:52 |
| * gtoy waits for maverick... | 07:53 | |
| x_ | indus, any ideas on cpu voltage ? | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: you will use 1 big primary partition | 07:53 |
| Charbel | ActionParsnip, ok but i still can't open irc chat from firefox | 07:53 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: use ext3 or ext4. Ext2 isn't really suitable | 07:54 |
| indus | x_, no , once you run the sensorsd command, restart system after you answered all questions | 07:54 |
| indus | x_, then type 'sensors' in terminal and it will list all things | 07:54 |
| ActionParsnip | Charbel: not sure there dude. Maybe it'll work now after you tested it (worth a try) | 07:54 |
| x_ | ok ty | 07:54 |
| Appl6 | khider: I don't know why people are assuming that "Device is busy" means that you didn't format your hard drive correctly. To me, that seems very unlikely to be the cause. | 07:55 |
| Charbel | ok thx for help ActionParsnip | 07:55 |
| Im0 | 10.04.1 installed gnokii 0.6.28 (universe/comm) with "apt-get install gnokii". Apparently gnokii has a later version and is available in universe: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnokii/ . Shouldn't "apt-get upgrade" upgrade this package to 0.6.29? Using default /etc/apt/source.list. Not sure why apt-get isn't seeing the 0.6.29 version. | 07:55 |
| banker247 | anyone know how to easily downgrade from php 5.3 to 5.2 without breaking anything | 07:55 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: OK. Are you sure they aren't real viruses? What is an encrypted ZIP file typical for (i.e. what is it's purpose)? | 07:56 |
| Appl6 | khider: Where is your external hard drive mounted? | 07:56 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: How do i get read and write permissions once the thing is formatted? | 07:56 |
| flip_ | hey me n my buddy have same problem in ubuntu our alsa isnt loading module or something i have a speaker with 2 lines next to it volume is all the way up and is on speakers aswell | 07:56 |
| khider | Appl6: /dev/sdg | 07:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: that's determined when you mount it. | 07:56 |
| Flannel | Im0: Thats likely in -proposed, the newest version in the repos is 0.6.28 currently | 07:57 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: Yeah, but when i mount it, it usually gives me permission to read and that is it | 07:57 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: usually the gnome automount thing sorts it ok but you may have to manually mount it. Cross that bridge when the time comes | 07:57 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: Did you see my reply? | 07:57 |
| Appl6 | khider: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "mount -l" please? | 07:57 |
| flip_ | hey me n my buddy have same problem in ubuntu our alsa isnt loading module or something i have a speaker with 2 lines next to it volume is all the way up and is on speakers aswell..... any one? | 07:58 |
| flip_ | i am on 10 | 07:58 |
| Im0 | Flannel: Thanks. I'm a bit confused about it being in: http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnokii/ | 07:58 |
| KB1JWQ | uo3273-fvarklb: Must be a signature mismatch. | 07:58 |
| ActionParsnip | flip_: if you run: sudo lshw -C sound ,websearch for the product line for guides | 07:59 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | KB1JWQ: ??? What is that? And how did you come to this conclusion? | 07:59 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: it is just a section that clam knows that it can't read. it is an encrypted collection of stuff. the option is for Clam to warn you, since it can't tell you if it is a problem or not. it is unlikely a problem. | 08:00 |
| khider | Appl6: http://pastebin.ca/1880969 | 08:00 |
| Flannel | Im0: Ah, actually, it looks like that's the Maverick version. It may also be in lucid-proposed, I haven't checked yet | 08:01 |
| Appl6 | khider: Did you partition your external hard drive in Ubuntu? Have you rebooted since you partitioned it? | 08:01 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: OK - that is believable. Why is it unlikely a problem. How much do you know about library and Encrypted.ZIP files? Are library files supposed to be encrypted like that? | 08:01 |
| KB1JWQ | uo3273-fvarklb: They're socket files, they're not encrypted. | 08:02 |
| Flannel | Im0: Yeah, that's Maverick, not -proposed | 08:02 |
| KB1JWQ | Er, library files. Sorry, not socket files. | 08:02 |
| khider | Appl6: I used Kubuntu | 08:03 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | KB1JWQ: OK. And what are socket files? | 08:03 |
| Appl6 | khider: That's fine. Are you on Kubuntu now, and have you rebooted since you partitioned it? | 08:03 |
| Alley^Away | whats the file system in ubuntu? ext4? | 08:03 |
| Im0 | Flannel: I'm a bit confused now. I thought that URL would have been for the current version (ie. 10.4). Is there an easy way to ask apt to try and install that version? | 08:03 |
| khider | Appl6: And yeah, I unmounted and remounted the thing and I have zilch permissions except read | 08:04 |
| Appl6 | Alley^Away: You can pick which one you want, but yes, it's usually ext3 or ext4. | 08:04 |
| Appl6 | khider: I'm not talking about unmount or remount. I'm talking about rebooting your computer. | 08:04 |
| SandGorgon | has anybody installed a clean Ubuntu system and used LVM ? could anyone point me to a guide | 08:04 |
| khider | Appl6: No, I am sorry but why should I? I do not understand. | 08:04 |
| khider | Appl6: But i did not reboot | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: try: sudo mkdir /media/backup; sudo mount /dev/partition /media/backup -o rw,user ,should be ok | 08:05 |
| Alley^Away | ok thx - yeah I know that you can pick, I remember upgrading to the latest when I installed... just trying to install stuff under win to be able to see the files, but ran into problems | 08:05 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: Whoa...cool | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: replace partition with the partition name. Like sdb1 or whatever | 08:05 |
| ActionParsnip | !mount | khider | 08:05 |
| ubottu | khider: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 08:05 |
| Alley^Away | ext4 would explain it, the tool I'm using only supports ext2/3 | 08:06 |
| Alley^Away | thx | 08:06 |
| ActionParsnip | khider: mount is very worth learning how to use it | 08:06 |
| Flannel | Im0: No, that folder has all the versions in the repos for all of the versions of Ubuntu. As for installing it, offically no. There's no easy way. Unofficially, take a look at the dependencies and versions and they may be already satisfied on Lucid | 08:07 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: Yeah, my Linux kung fu is weak since returning to Ubuntu. Before I used Slackware and Gentoo--but i am too dumb to run the latter on my new puter | 08:07 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: you could run "debsums -a openoffice.org-core | grep libpackage" and it should say OK for your file, which means that it matches the installed version of the file. (unless the digest was hacked, very unlikely) | 08:07 |
| khider | And too lazy to run Slackware | 08:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: the handbook for gentoo is dead handy for nongentoo stuffs :) | 08:07 |
| banker247 | hey theadmin you still there? | 08:07 |
| h4f | Hi all, my GSM modem is working fine, however when unplugged without disconnecting can't plug it in straight away (need restart) . does any one what module should I reload or any other manipulation to get it work without restarting , thanks | 08:07 |
| theadmin | banker247: Sorta | 08:08 |
| banker247 | what do you think of this script?.. | 08:08 |
| banker247 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1459163 | 08:08 |
| Appl6 | ActionParsnip: Looks like you missed the "Disk /dev/sdg doesn't contain a valid partition table" line from fdisk. You really should read the pastebins instead of giving people wrong advice. | 08:08 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: No way, I spent days trying to install Gentoo on a 64 g solid state drive and then my terabyte for /home--I gave up. With Ubuntu, I got a nice GUI to do it all for me during install | 08:08 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: OK - so this command will verify if system files are original or not, apparently? | 08:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: sure but gentoo is much leaner and slicker | 08:09 |
| Im0 | Flannel: That makes sense now, thanks. I'll try and work out the dependencies as you suggest. Thanks. | 08:09 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: I LOVE Gentoo, I just wish I was smart enough to install it on two discs. Fstab screwed me up | 08:09 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: How do you enter the bar symbol? | 08:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: yeah fstab can be fun | 08:10 |
| theadmin | banker247: Looks fine, but remove the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/karmic.list file it creates after this... then you'll also have to somehow pin the package so it won't try to upgrade to 5.3 again | 08:10 |
| mothersofinventi | I'm in some deep trouble trying to use timidity in rosegarden: no sound, what can be wrong? | 08:10 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: it checks the package digests of installed packages and tells you if anything changed. "debsums -ac" will check everything that has a digest. (files do get changed when configured, so you will see stuff that is np) | 08:11 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: I am thinking about installing Slackware if the install GUI is friendly enough for two drives | 08:11 |

| Smeh | typing vpnclient runs nothing? | 08:11 |
| khider | ActionParsnip: But c'mon--Ubuntu has drives for EVERYTHING | 08:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: if the backup device has no partitions then use fdisk to make them as the gentoo book says. You should be able to use gparted | 08:11 |
| Smeh | just reports "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" so such file or directory | 08:11 |
| bricky | hi is it possible to install windows XP through wine? lol | 08:11 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: bar is shift-\ | 08:12 |
| theadmin | bricky: Not trough WINE, but you can use VirtualBox | 08:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Khider: you can emerge an equal amount of drivers in gentoo | 08:12 |
| zcat[1] | bricky: no but it's possible to install it through virtualbox | 08:12 |
| banker247 | doesn't this sound easier? | 08:12 |
| banker247 | http://dustyreagan.com/downgrade-php-5-3-to-5-2/ | 08:12 |

| Smeh | it reports "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" | 08:13 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: And "file /usr/local/bin/vpnclient"? | 08:13 |
| khider | khider: Yeah, if you set the dependencies(make sure they are not broken) get the use flags going---and after you do a uDNa World and things go to hell.. | 08:13 |
| khider | but I love it | 08:13 |
| Smeh | "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient: symbolic link to '/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient' | 08:14 |

| Smeh | i guess that last bit might be a problem? | 08:15 |
| prince_jammys | sounds like a good guess | 08:16 |

| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: OK - when I ran "debsums -a openoffice.org-core|grep libpackage", it came back with "/usr/lib/openoffice/basis3.1/program/libpackage2.so - with libpackage highlighted in red. Does this mean that nothing has changed and the file is original? | 08:18 |
| Smeh | ok | 08:18 |
| Smeh | after 777'ing the vpnclient executable | 08:18 |
| Smeh | i still get nothing typing "vpnclient" but file reports : | 08:18 |
| Appl6 | uo3273-fvarklb: The "highlighted in red" part is from grep; it's telling you what part of the input it matched. | 08:19 |
| Smeh | ELF 32-bit executableversion 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs) etc etc.. | 08:19 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | Appl6: OK. But this result ultimately means then that "libpackage2.so" is the original file, nothing has changed, and it's not a virus? | 08:20 |

| Appl6 | Smeh: Can you paste exactly what you get as output from "vpnclient", and then from "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient", and then from "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient"? | 08:22 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: No. I was just using the quotation marks to distinguish to you what it actually stated. The quotation marks were not a part of the result. And I did get OK stated way off to the right ... | 08:22 |

| Charbel | ActionParsnip, i found what was the problem i didn't restart firefox when i finished installing lol | 08:25 |
| Smeh | "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient" reports exactly the same | 08:26 |
| Smeh | and "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient" also reports exactly the same thing | 08:26 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: that's good news. And I do see in KlamAV (Events -- Options) where you can select that option to mark encrypted files as suspicious. I'm running "debsums -ac" now just to make sure ... | 08:27 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: thanks so much for all your help. It's nice to talk to someone who can actually solve my problem and/or put me at ease ... | 08:27 |
| Smeh | "echo $PATH" - /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 08:27 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: run it as root (sudo) to avoid random fails | 08:27 |
| bricky | theadmin: what are you upto | 08:27 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: Even "/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient" says "bash: /usr/local/bin/vpnclient: No such file or directory" ? | 08:28 |
| Smeh | yep. | 08:28 |
| Smeh | if it helps, permissions on the files under the /opt directory | 08:28 |
| Smeh | are all uhm.. | 08:28 |
| Smeh | ---x--x--x | 08:28 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: Ha. Can you pastebin the output of "alias", please? | 08:28 |
| Smeh | but they're there, report a size, etc | 08:28 |
| === jacky is now known as Jac_roy521510 | ||
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: also you can use "apt-file search <filepath>" to tell you what package the file belongs to, and then check it with debsums as before. | 08:29 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: OK. So in terminal, I would just enter "sudo klamav" ??? Or what is the specific command, I guess? | 08:29 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: i meant run debsums -ac with sudo | 08:29 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: run clam as you usually do | 08:30 |
| Smeh | Appl6: http://www.pastebin.com/NHXjQddS | 08:30 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: And the last thing I might try is to actually copy vpnclient from /opt to /usr/local/bin, not just symlink it. And see if that helps. | 08:30 |
| Smeh | ok, i'll give that a whirl while you check that pastebin i guess :) | 08:30 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: Just did, nothing special. | 08:30 |
| flip_ | "riptide firmware not available -2" is the message i get | 08:31 |
| Smeh | yeah.. just copied the binary to /usr/local/bin | 08:31 |
| flip_ | and riptide is my sound card | 08:31 |
| Smeh | no difference | 08:31 |
| flip_ | help pls | 08:31 |
| Smeh | if it helps i'm on 10.04 64 LTS alternate | 08:32 |

| red2kic | khider: You might want to do recursively, I suppose. Append -R (ie sudo chown -R ...the rest) | 08:35 |
| Appl6 | Smeh: Ha, OK, good luck with that. | 08:35 |
| khider | and I got mount: /dev/sdg already mounted or /media/backup busy | 08:35 |
| Appl6 | khider: Please just reboot. If it doesn't help you can ignore me from then on. | 08:36 |

| Eugene89 | hey guys, | 08:36 |
| Eugene89 | using crontab -e to add a cronjob, i realised that the job isn't running when i'm pretty sure the script is running properly | 08:37 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: it just mean that package wasn't installed with a manifest with digests. debsums can only check packages with digests | 08:37 |
| Eugene89 | i also noticed that crontab -e edits a file under /tmp/cronetcetcetcetc.. | 08:37 |
| khider | Galerien: No dice, tried that. I will obey Appl6 | 08:37 |
| Eugene89 | is there something wrong with the way i'm using crontab? | 08:37 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: can you explain "manifest with digests" - in a way I can understand? | 08:37 |
| Flannel | Eugene89: No, that's correct. Do you have a carriage return at the end of your file? | 08:38 |
| Eugene89 | what's a carriage return? | 08:38 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: I'm just curious - I want to learn this stuff. So thanks for explaining | 08:38 |
| Flannel | Eugene89: Is there a blank line at the end of the file? | 08:38 |
| loxs | I added kubuntu-beta ppa, and now I want to remove it. But it doesn't seem to downgrade back to normal "kubuntu-desktop" packages with sudo apt-get (dist-)upgrade. What do I need to do in order to revert properly? | 08:38 |
| trollboy | Eugene89, hitting enter on your KB | 08:38 |
| Eugene89 | Fannel: are we talking about the crontab or the script? | 08:39 |

| Gryllida | How do I launch ClamAV? | 08:40 |
| Eugene89 | I can't believe it! | 08:40 |
| Eugene89 | That's all it needs? | 08:40 |
| xsist10 | Eugene89: \n - carraige return (CR) and \r - line feed (LF) | 08:40 |
| Flannel | Eugene89: Yeah, go to the end and hit return a few times. crontab needs returns at the ends of the lines to run those lines. yep | 08:40 |
| trollboy | Eugene89, the term carriage return refers to the old days of type writers. The return key, caused the type head carriage to return to the left side of the keyboard and roll the paper to a new line. | 08:40 |
| Eugene89 | OIC | 08:41 |
| Appl6 | xsist10: Other way around. | 08:41 |
| xsist10 | erm complete lie | 08:41 |
| xsist10 | yeah | 08:41 |
| xsist10 | :P | 08:41 |
| Eugene89 | Flannel:let me try that out | 08:41 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: what is a "digest"? | 08:41 |
| xsist10 | 8 years of programming and I get that mixed up | 08:41 |
| Eugene89 | is it ok to swear in here? | 08:41 |
| Appl6 | Eugene89: Nope, sorry. | 08:41 |
| trollboy | Eugene89, I wouldn't | 08:41 |
| trollboy | although feel free to msg me your profanity ;-) | 08:42 |
| Eugene89 | Appl6, trollboy: Ok thanks. I was just going to swear about being zapped by static from my macbook pro | 08:42 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: most packages install a mainifest (.list file) and a digest file (.md5sums) in /var/lib/dpkg/info You should google md5sum to understand what it does. debsums checks all the packages .md5sums file and compares the installed file to that. | 08:42 |
| Eugene89 | #($%&% | 08:42 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | And how do I check a file like /usr/lib/libclamav.so.6.05 to make sure it's original? "debsums", then what? | 08:42 |
| trollboy | My arschloch toshiba laptop does the same thing to me | 08:43 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: And so running .md5sums actually gives you a better idea of whether or not your installed files are in their original state? | 08:43 |
| Jordan_U | trollboy: No swearing in German either. | 08:43 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: apt-file search uo3273-fvarklb and then debsums -a <that package> | 08:44 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: apt-file search /usr/lib/libclamav.so.6.05 | 08:44 |

| Eugene89 | oh my. I almost deleted cron.daily | 08:45 |
| alabd | Good day all , after booting ubuntu 10.04 free cd and selecting install choice , ubuntu goes to boot and proceed but it shows a black blank page before complete boot up , what's problem ??? | 08:45 |
| rethus | have kubuntu 10.04 with KDE: 4.4.2. If i hit ALT+F2 and Type in yakuake or something else, it takes a long timeout after "yaku" till the next chars appear on the textfield... and till this, the textfield is freezed. | 08:45 |
| Eugene89 | restoring from recycle bin is all it needs right? | 08:45 |
| rethus | any idea what the problem? | 08:45 |
| duanh | what is this? | 08:45 |
| trollboy | depends how you deleted it Eugene89 | 08:45 |
| Eugene89 | i pressed delete | 08:45 |
| trollboy | then its probably in the bin | 08:46 |
| Eugene89 | yeah i restored it from the bin already | 08:46 |
| Eugene89 | no need for permission stuff right? | 08:46 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | thune3: Oh I see. And essentially then, debsums check the current file on the computer, while md5sums checks the system files and compares from the other end (which seems better, actually), right? | 08:46 |

| Eugene89 | another thing is: I heard that logging in under root all the time isn't safe, how do i do system administering without using a root account? | 08:47 |
| Flannel | Eugene89: You use sudo | 08:47 |
| Flannel | !sudo | Eugene89 | 08:47 |
| ubottu | Eugene89: 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 | 08:47 |

| Eugene89 | Flannel: Thanks. | 08:47 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum md5 is a "fingerprint" of a file. debsums checks the fingerprints against the file to see if they match. Both are on your local machine. | 08:48 |

| Eugene89 | is there any way around it? | 08:52 |
| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: when you run md5sum it generates a "fingerprint" of a file. So debsums runs md5sum on all the files to generate their fingerprints, and then checks it against the fingerprint stored in the /var/lib/dpkg/info/<package>.md5sums file. I really can't explain it further. | 08:52 |
| larompa | Ok thank you | 08:52 |
| SirMoo | Hm.. I'm actually kind of curious about that now... | 08:52 |

| BlackCow | I have 3 users all in the same group, called friends. I would like two of those users to be able to modify and edit the third users home directory, im not sure how to do this though. I thought adding the users to the shared users group would work, but nothing. | 08:57 |
| shauno | BlackCow: most likely the permissions on the shared directory. you'll want it to be owned by the 'friends' group, and group-writable | 08:59 |
| mechdave | zoidberg-: Have you looked at /etc/resolv.conf? | 08:59 |
| thune3 | zoidberg-: can you ping a known ip address? 8.8.8.8 ? | 08:59 |

| thune3 | uo3273-fvarklb: np | 09:01 |

| Gryllida | Anyone? How do I launch ClamAV? | 09:02 |
| shauno | BlackCow: try ftpuser:friends rather than just friends | 09:03 |
| shauno | BlackCow: each file is owned by a user & a group. by default, each user has a group with the same name. so it'd be ftpuser:ftpuser by default | 09:03 |

| Altreus | Is there a known bug introduced by recent samba updates? Yesterday I was quite happily able to explore the entire Windows network; but I am running in a VM. Windows decreed that I shall reboot, and since I restarted the VM I get DBus timeout errors on most network drives | 09:14 |
| indus | zcfr, just to make sure there is not a problem with update manager, just typing 'update-manager' in terminal will open it | 09:14 |

| Altreus | Gryllida: I honestly have no idea how to find the IP address | 09:16 |
| Gryllida | Altreus: get ip of the other machine in start run cmd ipconfig | 09:16 |
| xsist10 | Gryllida: Check System Tools for Virus SCanner | 09:16 |
| indus | zcfr, hehe there is the problem | 09:16 |

| megamanx1978 | Hi can someone help me find some repo keys I need? | 09:16 |
| Propel | I have a simple tv tuner and want to watch and cap tv shows from my cable analog source | 09:16 |
| zcfr | indus, yes but I have no idea why it would not be installed with a completely new installation of ubuntu | 09:16 |
| Propel | you guys recommend mythtv or another program? | 09:16 |
| Altreus | Gryllida: In fact, you reminded me that the other computer is not running Windows at all | 09:16 |
| * Altreus checks that | 09:17 | |
| indus | Propel, if you just want to watch tv , then i recommend tvtime , its awesomely simple | 09:17 |
| vega | mcl0vin: the kernel should be upgraded just as any other package, automatically | 09:17 |
| zcfr | indus, it is working now Thank you very much | 09:17 |
| indus | Propel, i think vlc can capture tv source , try that one | 09:17 |
| indus | zcfr, you helped yourself :) | 09:17 |
| Propel | oh it does? :O | 09:17 |
| Propel | k | 09:17 |
| vega | mcl0vin: you don't need any special procedure for that | 09:17 |
| indus | Propel, yeah :D i believe it can capture all you wish for : | 09:18 |
| indus | its a brilliant piece of software | 09:18 |
| Propel | does it do it well? | 09:18 |
| Propel | we'll see i guess lol | 09:18 |
| indus | Propel, unfortunately i cant get it to work with my tv tuner but i think ill try again | 09:18 |
| Propel | i heard mythtv was a good program | 09:18 |
| Propel | but i coudlnt find it under software centre | 09:19 |
| Propel | metv and mythubuntu are the closest programs i could find | 09:19 |

| megamanx1978 | and..... | 09:19 |

| yohannbzh | Hi. How is it possible to cleanly remove a program that i installed with a make install? | 09:33 |
| Guest99601 | vega: i clicked the link and now all my internets wont work | 09:33 |
| yohannbzh | (it is GEOS) | 09:34 |
| Kartagis | yohannbzh, make clean and make distclean | 09:34 |
| gothenburg | :D | 09:34 |
| gothenburg | distclean? autoclean then? | 09:34 |
| kurt__ | yohannbzh: its "make distclean" or "make autoclean" | 09:35 |
| rcsheets | distclean doesn't uninstall anything | 09:35 |
| rcsheets | it's meant to let you build from scratch | 09:35 |
| rcsheets | some packages have a 'make uninstall' or similar, to undo whatever 'make install' did, but not all do. i'm not familiar with GEOS specifically. | 09:36 |
| vega | depends on the Makefile in question, it might not be possible at all (automatically) | 09:36 |
| vega | read the instructions (README or something) and Makefile | 09:36 |
| yohannbzh | Kartagis: make clean is not only to remove the compiled files in source path? | 09:37 |
| kurt__ | yohannbzh: you might be able to change the installation directory from "/" to something else. Install there and you know the names of all files that have been installed. | 09:37 |
| yohannbzh | kurt__: Ok, i'll do that | 09:38 |
| yohannbzh | kurt__: thanks | 09:38 |
| Kartagis | yohannbzh, I said make clean *and* make distclean | 09:38 |
| rtronk1 | what is the proper way to create a user on ubuntu? | 09:38 |
| vega | be aware that installing a package like that *will* overwrite any files from a standard ubuntu package | 09:38 |
| kurt__ | kartagis: yohannbzh is right, make clean and make distclean only cleanup the build directory | 09:39 |
| saimon | hi all...I've just had my ubuntu vm fail fsck on reboot, did a manual fsck (just accepted everything) but after reboot it's stuck in the init process before getting to single user mode. It's complaining about /etc/rcS.d/S70screen-cleanup missing /bin/csh. Obviously during the fsck this file was modified but I've no idea how I can now edit it since I get enter single user mode... | 09:39 |

| Kartagis | rtronk, sudo useradd [-m] <user>. -m is for if you want to create the home directory too | 09:41 |
| Flannel | Kartagis, rtronk1: use adduser instead | 09:41 |
| Kartagis | Flannel, what's the difference? | 09:42 |
| saimon | I've not been able to find any info on google so I was hoping someone here could help me out... | 09:42 |
| Flannel | Kartagis: It's higher level, so it's a bit more sane to use for default values, etc. | 09:42 |
| vega | be aware that none of the command line tools automatically adds the user to necessary groups for accessing devices (video, sound, ..) etc. | 09:43 |
| vega | ie. those groups the ubuntu installer puts the default user into | 09:43 |
| vega | you need to specify those by hand | 09:43 |
| Flannel | and I suggest using adduser to do that too. `adduser user group` | 09:43 |
| gothenburg | is there any "tree" command in ubuntu like in windows? | 09:45 |

| rww | gothenburg: I think the "tree" package has an equivalent. | 09:47 |
| Kartagis | gothenburg, remind me what tree does? | 09:48 |
| rww | I'm not sure of this, since I can't remember how tree on Windows works, but the descriptions on Google sound the same :\ | 09:48 |
| rcsheets | Pax-Man: i have that problem too. this is not a solution, but as a workaround i have found that Chrome doesn't have that issue. | 09:48 |
| gothenburg | Kartagis: make a tree of everything in the folder and subfolders | 09:48 |
| rww | !info tree | 09:48 |

| indus | Propel,only vlc or tvtime are easy | 09:53 |

| speiros | I have Ubuntu 10.4, and I can't add a wireless network. Do I download WINE, and which version do I download if so? The files won't open up on the cd for me. | 10:18 |
| gottto | !wine | 10:18 |
| ubottu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 10:18 |
| tgywa | gottto, I wanted to have internet connection and changed the following lines | 10:18 |
| xsist10 | speiros: Does the network manager not pick up the wireless network you want to connect to? | 10:19 |
| speiros | Thanks ubottu | 10:19 |
| speiros | xsist10: I haven't put it in yet, as the instructions recommended putting the disk in first. | 10:19 |
| tgywa | gottto, auto eth1 | 10:19 |
| kaflowski | Gryllida: it lists klamav as a GUI for clamav on clamav's wikipedia page, check it out if you don't believe me. | 10:19 |
| speiros | xsist10: I should try I guess eh? | 10:19 |
| tgywa | iface eth1 inet static | 10:20 |
| tgywa | address x.x.x.x | 10:20 |
| xsist10 | speiros: ok. you probably have a CD with software for windows. You'll want to avoid that. | 10:20 |
| speiros | lol, true. | 10:20 |
| tgywa | netmask 255.255.255.192 | 10:20 |
| xsist10 | speiros: Are you near the wireless network now | 10:20 |
| speiros | Yeah | 10:20 |
| tgywa | network x.x.x.x.0 | 10:20 |
| tgywa | broadcast x.x.x.63 | 10:20 |
| tgywa | gateway x.x.x.1 | 10:21 |
| tgywa | that is it | 10:21 |
| speiros | I just plugged it in. I'll see what it does. | 10:21 |
| tgywa | and then stoped to work | 10:21 |
| xsist10 | speiros: ok, in the top left hand corner of your screen (I'm assuming you're using Ubuntu and not Kubuntu) you'll see a little signal icon.. looks like the signal from an antenna | 10:21 |
| Gryllida | kaflowski: thank you very much. | 10:21 |
| kaflowski | Gryllida: np | 10:21 |
| xsist10 | speiros: Left click on that icon and a list of visible nearby wireless networks should be listed (if your wireless card is enabled) | 10:21 |
| speiros | I have network manager, but the icon disappeared. I am using something else instead. Network connections. | 10:22 |
| gottto | tgywa: make netmask end in .0 and broadcast end in .255 | 10:23 |

| tgywa | gottto, yes ... have done that | 10:24 |
| gottto | tgywa: and restarted the network? | 10:25 |

| Sandking | hi | 10:31 |
| RockyRoad | hi Sandking | 10:31 |
| Sandking | aside from aesthethic and ideological stuff is there any reason that Ubuntu is better than Mint? | 10:31 |
| RockyRoad | I described the problem in pastebin, along with a sample terminal session. | 10:32 |
| Sandking | I'm using Mint now but I just wanted to know | 10:32 |
| Snadder | I tried to boot into single user mode.. with appending 1 to my grub line.. but I still get a password promt. | 10:32 |
| RockyRoad | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3JmdWgYg | 10:32 |

| Gryllida | Sia-: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ | 10:49 |
| red2kic | i-dont-know-noth: Why the XP specs? You said you burned the ISO and did the direct installation from the disc or you're using some kind of virtual apps? | 10:49 |
| geohacker | some help? | 10:50 |
| Fudge | i-dont-know-noth for example? | 10:50 |

| geohacker | how do I fix the grub. | 10:51 |
| geohacker | ? | 10:51 |
| red2kic | !fixgrub | geohacker | 10:51 |
| ubottu | geohacker: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. | 10:51 |

| SSSeSSS | any 1 from seattle area? | 10:51 |
| red2kic | i-dont-know-noth: How are you installing it? From the ISO you download and burned to the disc? | 10:52 |

| red2kic | i-dont-know-noth: Did you ran md5sum on the ISO? Sometimes the download get corrupted. | 10:53 |
| red2kic | !md5sum | i-dont-know-noth | 10:53 |
| oCean_ | !ppc | Duskin | 10:53 |
| ubottu | i-dont-know-noth: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 10:53 |
| ubottu | Duskin: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 10:53 |
| red2kic | i-dont-know-noth: You should try Alternative ISO. | 10:53 |
| red2kic | !alternative | i-dont-know-noth | 10:54 |
| ubottu | i-dont-know-noth: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal | 10:54 |

| Gryllida | Chickenery: sorry, impossible afaik | 10:55 |
| i-dont-know-noth | /clear does clear all the screen... | 10:55 |
| i-dont-know-noth | this is not what i expected.... | 10:55 |
| red2kic | i-dont-know-noth: Read this too. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes (See if something is familiar with your machine). | 10:55 |
| tgywa | gottto, the problem is I can't make the install as I don't have interent connection ... means can't use the network manager at this moment. | 10:55 |
| icedwater | Hello! I'm using Karmic x64. I have had strange behaviour with compiz recently, it just takes up a lot of memory and slows everything down. compiz.real sits at the top of top and I have to placate my fan with metacity --replace at login. | 10:55 |
| rcsheets | Chickenery: you could deny them the ability to execute /usr/bin/passwd | 10:55 |
| icedwater | Does anyone have a similar problem? | 10:55 |
| icedwater | rcsheets: Was thinking of something similar. | 10:55 |
| i-dont-know-noth | ok, i guess, i am not made for this kind of conversation.... | 10:55 |
| Chickenery | rcsheets: and what about the gnome gui thing? Will it also disable it? | 10:56 |
| icedwater | i-dont-know-noth: What seems to be the problem? | 10:56 |
| rcsheets | unsure. try it and see, i suppose. | 10:56 |
| i-dont-know-noth | thank you either, all | 10:56 |
| Chickenery | and gconf-edit? | 10:56 |
| Chickenery | Will simple disable of execution disallow them to change the properties? | 10:57 |
| rcsheets | you can change your password using gconf-edit? | 10:57 |
| nipas | hello..how can i replace compiz compositing manager with metisse and set it as default? | 10:57 |
| Chickenery | no, but you can change other things, it would allow them to use hibernation, etc... | 10:58 |
| rapha | red2kic: wtf?! i ask for a USB DEVICES *GUI* and you suggest *fdisk*?!? | 10:58 |
| nipas | i have 10.04 | 10:58 |
| Gryllida | !info metisse | 10:58 |
| ubottu | Package metisse does not exist in lucid | 10:58 |
| Gryllida | hmm | 10:58 |
| Gryllida | idk | 10:58 |
| red2kic | rapha: Oh lord. GUI. GUI. GUI. Hmm. gparted! | 10:58 |
| icedwater | nipas: You mean metacity? | 10:58 |
| red2kic | rapha: It is a Gnome Partition Editor but it should list all devices. | 10:59 |
| nipas | no | 10:59 |

| sharat87 | hello, my python's MySQLdb module broke when I upgraded from karmic to lucid.. it says ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:59 |
| icedwater | Hmm, never heard of it. Shall look it up. | 10:59 |
| nipas | I just want another equal cm for ubuntu | 10:59 |
| nipas | cause compiz causes problems | 10:59 |
| icedwater | Hmm... doesn't Metacity have fairly good compositing too? | 11:00 |
| nipas | I want 3d aceleration | 11:00 |
| nipas | acceleration* | 11:00 |
| sharat87 | I tried getting help on that at #python.. and was suggested to ask it here.. so.. any idea how I can fix my MySQLdb python package? | 11:00 |
| nipas | any ideas? | 11:01 |
| crdlb | nipas: many of the "problems" caused by compiz are inevitable with a compositing manager | 11:01 |
| Balgan | sharat87, show the errors ur getting | 11:01 |
| nipas | so what do you suggest as an alternative? | 11:01 |
| sharat87 | when I try `import MySQLdb`, I get ImportError: libmysqlclient_r.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory... will paste-bin the traceback.. | 11:02 |
| crdlb | nipas: it's possible that metacity's builtin compositing manager might work better for you, purely because it doesn't use OpenGL | 11:02 |
| crdlb | nipas: in any case, problems with 3d acceleration and compiz are the fault of your video driver | 11:02 |
| Balgan | sharat87, You appear to be missing the libmysqlclient15off package or a file in it. | 11:03 |
| Balgan | Try to reinstall it. | 11:03 |
| nipas | i don't ythink so... | 11:03 |
| nipas | for example flash , cursor change etc | 11:03 |
| sharat87 | Balgan: ok.. will try now | 11:03 |
| icedwater | crdlb: Maybe I should check on my video driver too.. I'm using nvidia 195.30 beta and compiz is turning up the heat every time I log in (at least since I installed the 2.6.31-22 kernel via apt-get upgrade... removed it but the problem remains) | 11:04 |
| maxo | I'm totally confused. I've just set up ubuntu server and I can fetch packages with apt fine. But when I connect to a website using elinks, the proxy server on my network blocks it. So how is apt getting through?? | 11:04 |
| zvacet | nipas: some info about metisse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9397429 | 11:04 |
| sharat87 | Balgan: it says.. http://paste.pocoo.org/show/224221/ | 11:04 |
| nipas | thx :) | 11:04 |
| Glowball | Has somebody tried Flash 10.1 32 bit on 64 bit yet? (There isn't a native 64 bit version afaik (if there is, please tell me), and 10.0 32 bit was highly unstable) | 11:05 |
| icedwater | crdlb: What makes you so sure the problem is with a video driver, though? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | test | 11:06 |
| Gryllida | ikonia: succeeded | 11:06 |
| ikonia | thank youi | 11:06 |
| elioth | quit | 11:07 |
| crdlb | icedwater: because compiz isn't doing anything wrong in that respect, but it takes quite a bit of work in the video drivers for redirected direct rendering to work well | 11:07 |
| nipas | mutter is an alternative ...kwin is for kde...so what can i do? | 11:08 |

| === sami is now known as samiz | ||
| nipas | sry | 11:08 |
| nipas | it was by fault:D | 11:08 |
| crdlb | nipas: with the exception of cursor themes (which is indeed a compiz limitation), everything else should work about the same with any 3d compositing manager | 11:09 |
| icedwater | crdlb: OK... so compiz is just doing its regular job, but the video driver is working the CPU extra hard is what you're saying? | 11:09 |
| fanti | hello, since a few days ago my ubuntu doesn't bring up interface eth0 at startup automatically. "sudo service network-interface start" fails with "start: Unknown parameter: INTERFACE". | 11:10 |

| saimon | Hi...I have an ubuntu server running as a vm host under vmware fusion. From my mac I can access the server (ssh) but I the host can't see the server. when I ping the gateway, it's unreachable. /etc/resolve.conf correctly sets the gateway ip. I'm a bit stumped right now | 11:34 |
| oCean_ | saimon: resolv.conf is for DNS config (how to resolve names) not for default gateway. | 11:36 |
| saimon | oCean_: ofcourse...ok what should I be checking? | 11:36 |
| oCean_ | saimon: however, if the server is reachable from mac, networksetup on the ubuntu server must be correctly configured, right? | 11:36 |
| saimon | oCean_: it looks like it is yes | 11:37 |
| oCean_ | saimon: on the ubuntuserver "route -n" will show you the default gateway (line starting with 0.0.0.0) | 11:37 |
| oCean_ | saimon: so the issue might be on the host running vmware. I'm not familiar with that.. | 11:38 |
| SailorReality | how do u get a good python IDE i went sudo apt-get install python and it gave me a basic python command line | 11:38 |
| Balgan | sharat87, solved? | 11:39 |
| saimon | oCean_: having a hard time copy route output from host. hold on... | 11:39 |
| uros | Can anyone tell me how to find out the ip off the person I'm chatting with? Like on msn or skype or qq? | 11:39 |
| jpds | uros: You can't. | 11:39 |
| sharat87 | Balgan: nope.. kind of gave up.. will say.. reinstall ubuntu lucid :) | 11:39 |
| sharat87 | shouldnt've upgraded, i guess... | 11:40 |
| SailorReality | u can in windows | 11:40 |
| uros | if i'm connected to him, than why not? | 11:40 |
| uros | during file transfer. | 11:40 |
| uros | or sth. similar] | 11:40 |
| sharat87 | Balgan: the package u suggested is there in synaptic, but in a weird condition.. says it is obsolete or removed.. | 11:40 |
| airtonix | uros, because it's not direct transfer. | 11:41 |
| saimon | oCean_: http://pastebin.com/TTG3fdQU | 11:41 |
| uros | so there is now way to trace the transfer and the users ip? | 11:41 |
| Spiralmatrix | uros: in my irc client i can right click a name and do whois and it tells me what it thinks the ip of the user is | 11:41 |
| airtonix | uros, not unless you can gain access to the chat server and read logs or run monitor commands | 11:42 |
| sharat87 | Balgan: shit I just realised I didn't get back to you after trying what u suggested.. so sorry.. :) and thanks for all your help :) | 11:42 |
| airtonix | Spiralmatrix, not talking about irc though. | 11:42 |
| Spiralmatrix | ah right :) | 11:42 |
| SailorReality | whats the command to see how much space i have on my harddrive | 11:44 |
| saimon | oCean_: just found a clue...ifconfig on mbp say gateway is infact different to what vmware says...trying different gateway | 11:44 |
| oCean_ | saimon: ah, ok. Seems correct way to go - check the differences | 11:44 |
| Glowball | SailorReality: You can just see that in the GUI. Nautilus shows 'Free space' at the bottom for the partition you're on. | 11:45 |
| uros | a file transfer over skype or msn is not a direct one? | 11:45 |

| SailorReality | i just got it | 11:46 |
| Glowball | SailorReality: Or you can see them all at once in System Monitor, tab 'File Systems' | 11:46 |

| Zeek | Heya, I had a question about 10.04...when I get a Update Manager pop up showing updates, I see both Check and Install Updates enabled. If I just press Install Updates it just sits there. i need to first do Check where it will finally prompt for the password, then Install Updates works...is there something I am missing? | 12:57 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: It hasn't changed, it's been like that for a long time. Doing kill -9 should always be a last resort, always try SIGTERM first. | 12:57 |
| inveratulo | mendel1: maybe describe your problem then? perhaps reinstalling isn't the solution | 12:57 |
| helpinstallubunt | geirha: thanks for the support | 12:57 |
| insanity99 | hey huys i just installed vim, where do i open it? | 12:57 |
| insanity99 | guys* | 12:58 |
| coony | hello | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, I didn't type anything about kill -9 | 12:58 |
| airdem | hello | 12:58 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: That's what fuser -k does, kill -9 on each process which has the file open | 12:58 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: I broke some config files, then removed them. Then I understood, I can not recover config and decided to reinstall | 12:58 |
| airdem | i have problems booting from my newly created usb stick | 12:58 |
| coony | Have i a problem with istallation of ubuntu? | 12:58 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: Unless you add -TERM which tells it to use the TERM signal (as kill without -9 does) | 12:59 |

| coony | i think that there is a block of Hd.The qustion is.What s command can i use to see a block of hd? | 13:00 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: it reinstalls successfully, but not initializes the configs. again, during /etc/init.d/mysql start - WARNING: /etc/mysql/my.cnf cannot be read | 13:01 |
| justwatm | i think this is "df" | 13:01 |
| inveratulo | mendel1: so my.cnf isn't there at all or its just boned? | 13:02 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: Huh? | 13:02 |
| justwatm | coony : i think this is "df" | 13:02 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: yes it missed | 13:03 |
| coony | justwatm: i use only df or sudo badblock | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, so how should the command be structured for safety then? | 13:03 |
| geirha | BluesKaj: sudo fuser -vki -TERM /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 13:04 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: and even I copied from another machine under ubuntu that my.cnf - then mysql-server failed to start | 13:04 |
| inveratulo | mendel1: Hmm... I am not sure of the 100% proper way to do it, but I would first do a 'aptitude remove mysql-server --purge' and then do a 'find / -name mysql' and remove everything by hand | 13:04 |
| Georgerer | Hi there, I have a Nokia 2323 and want to synchronize its contacts with Evolution via Bluetooth. How do I do that? | 13:05 |
| inveratulo | mendel1: Doing the aptitude remove probably doesn't remove all the little hangerons, especially if you've been toying around with it | 13:05 |
| helpinstallubunt | one more thing i have a /home partition (separate) will the installer detect the mount point even though i dont define the mount point in the installation ? | 13:05 |
| geirha | inveratulo: It's either «aptitude purge» or «apt-get remove --purge» ... | 13:05 |
| Slart | apt-get purge works too =) | 13:06 |
| bleah | how can i fix this error ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/448218/ | 13:06 |
| geirha | helpinstallubunt: It won't mount it automatically if you don't specify it. | 13:06 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: yes, I guess so too. Once I already faced this problem and solved it with a google. But can not find this solution again | 13:06 |
| Slart | bleah: try sudo apt-get install build-essential | 13:06 |
| geirha | Slart: Oh, I'm pretty sure it didn't have that command last I tried, though I haven't used apt-get for years so i guess it's gotten added sometime since then. | 13:07 |
| BluesKaj | geirha, and I was about to tell Firstgear to run , sudo dpkg --configure -a , to clear any broken dependencies | 13:07 |
| Slart | geirha: I think it's pretty new.. but it has existed for at least a year or so | 13:07 |
| mendel1 | inveratulo: there was a magic command that cleaned all, but I can't remember it | 13:07 |
| helpinstallubunt | geirha: so how to solve this, i specify a / root partion too will it make a /home directory | 13:08 |
| Slart | geirha: not sure if it's a ubuntu feature or something from upstream | 13:08 |
| inveratulo | mendel1: I am not sure of that. I usually spend most of my time making sure mysql configs never gets removed/modified :-p | 13:08 |
| geirha | helpinstallubunt: Yes, it will put /home on /. If you want to use your current home partition, set it to /home in the installer, and make sure to not check the box for formatting it. | 13:08 |
| helpinstallubunt | geirha: but the installer wont let me | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | helpinstallubunt: you could always move /home to point at your partition, after install. so the installer dosent even try to touch it. | 13:09 |
| geirha | helpinstallubunt: How so? | 13:10 |
| coony | what s the complite command of badbloch to see if is there error on hd? | 13:10 |
| helpinstallubunt | Dr_Willis : just set it in mtab right ? sudo grub-update grub | 13:10 |
| geirha | Slart: Hm, I see it in Hardy too. I might have been mistaken all together. | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | helpinstallubunt: in fstab. not mtab | 13:11 |
| helpinstallubunt | Dr_Willis : ok | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | helpinstallubunt: and that dosent ahve anything to do with grub :) | 13:11 |

| telmich | when trying to install ubuntu 10.04 next to apple mac os x 10.6 on a powerbook (=intel), should I tick the "install bootloader" flag? | 13:20 |
| telmich | will this provide a boot entry for mac os x? | 13:20 |
| simmerz | Hi. I'm trying to send a file via bluetooth to another computer. When I use the Send To nautilus extension, I don't get a list of devices to choose from. any ideas/ | 13:20 |
| estupatufraks | o | 13:20 |
| badpenguin86 | telmich, Did you install REFIT on the Mac side? | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | simmerz: you do have teh device paired with the pc? | 13:21 |
| telmich | badpenguin86: no | 13:21 |
| telmich | badpenguin86: is that still needed / the recommended way? | 13:21 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: does it have to be paired? surely I can send to an arbitrary device, but the remote side has to accept it | 13:22 |
| badpenguin86 | telmich, It is what worked for me. Never got Gnome to properly boot OS X | 13:22 |
| Promythyus | Got a problem with mysql-server-5.1. The recent update (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3) caused apt-get upgrade to hang (left it for at least 24hrs). This caused mysql-server-5.1 to be corrupted, thus I had to remove with apt-get remove --purge. I have now reinstalled with apt-get install mysql-server-5.1, which seems to have gone fine EXCEPT that I cannot actually start the server, sudo start mysql hangs, and running start with the v | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | simmerz: err.. no - you normally have to pair bluetooth gizmos for them to send to each other. | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | simmerz: otherwise all sorts of nasty things can start happening | 13:23 |
| badpenguin86 | telmich, If you install GRUB to the partition that Ubuntu is installed on, then boot into OS X, and install REFIT, it should find Ubuntu | 13:23 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: I've never had that before | 13:23 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: btw, this worked fine under Karmic. Just not under Lucid | 13:24 |
| Promythyus | @Dr_Willis; I know for a fact that I don't need to pair my mobile phone with others before it can recieve files | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | simmerz: i recall some old bluetooth 'attacks' years back when these things started getting common. Picture sitting on a buss and you get 20+ 'requests to accept' some spam/virus.. | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Promythyus: every phone ive ever had i have had to pair. | 13:24 |
| Georgerer | Hi there, I have a Nokia 2323 and want to synchronize its contacts with Evolution via Bluetooth. How do I do that? | 13:24 |
| Georgerer | I have already set up gnokii properly and it can read my contacts. | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Promythyus: perhaps they are auto-pairing when the file is sent. | 13:24 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: you need to pair to use specific devices (HID, or headsets etc) | 13:25 |
| Georgerer | But how can I make Evolution know that too? | 13:25 |
| simmerz | pairing is just so a device knows that a given extension device is bound to it and not another device | 13:25 |
| simmerz | but sending files is arbitrary | 13:25 |
| simmerz | *should* be standard obex stuff | 13:25 |
| Dr_Willis | 'should' :) | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis | so i can sit with a pc at a busy intersection and just start sending to everyone that walk by. | 13:26 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: yep | 13:26 |
| simmerz | if you can do it fast enough | 13:26 |
| simmerz | That's how bluetooth advertising works | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Cant say taht ive ever seen a bluetooth advert. I have seen/heard of bluetoth viruses. | 13:27 |
| simmerz | you walk into a store, and it sends you something that you can show the cashier - you have to accept it first | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis | but this is getting away friom ubuntu perhaps some reading ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth#Pairing | 13:27 |
| * simmerz works in advertising | 13:27 | |
| Dr_Willis | simmerz: sounds like somthuing that would make me want to not shop at that store | 13:28 |
| simmerz | Dr_Willis: likewise, but it's still there | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like a good way to trick someone into getting a virus also | 13:28 |

| mmarc__ | hi, the recent update to 10.04 from 9.10 unscrewed my windows 7 installation on /dev/sda1, it now refuses to boot. On upgrade I rejected grub update and asked to leave it as it is, however W7 stopped booting, endless black screen with cursor. I checked that /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober founds windows partition on (hd1,0), and exactly the same record is used in grub.cfg. What might be the issue, could you please help to fix it? ;) | 13:54 |
| Soyo | LjL http://pastebin.com/aVmKiYhc <-- seems like a have a few fails in there... | 13:54 |
| tgywa | Cos ... I am install postfix. .... commented out all lines in sources.list ...and only the cdrom line is left | 13:55 |
| LjL | Soyo: remove the last uncommented line from there (the one with proposed), then "sudo apt-get update" and then try again upgrading | 13:55 |
| Galerien | Snadder: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 13:55 |
| tgywa | the installaiton is going well ... but would like to make sure that I am installig it from the cd rom | 13:55 |
| Soyo | LjL ok | 13:55 |
| bagua | hi all. I wonder if you can help. I have Ubuntu 10.4 on a laptop and a desktop. Cron jobs run as scheduled from the laptop. On the desktop they don't. Didn't work yesterday. On first boot up this morning they worked fine! Rebooted to experiment. Now don't work... | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | Now I have setup up multisync and set gnokii and evolution to synchronize the contacts. | 13:56 |
| Galerien | Georgerer: sorry you took it this way, but with computers, 95% of the bugs/problems are between the chair and the keyboard | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | It claims to work but no new contacts appear in Evolution. | 13:56 |
| bagua | Not sure why the same script works on one ubuntu and not the other. Upstart? | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | Galerien: I do know that. | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | But this just sucks. | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | Galerien: Gwibber is definitely not working. | 13:56 |
| Georgerer | Galerien: And Multisync at least isn't doing what its claiming to do. | 13:57 |
| sheikh | hello | 13:57 |
| Lazydude | mmarc you should probably install grub then | 13:57 |
| ks3 | bagua, Is the issue that cron isn't running, or that it is running, but isn't running your script? | 13:57 |
| Galerien | Georgerer: I give you gwibber, mine has memory leaks, but my install isn't good... | 13:58 |
| mmarc__ | ugh, anyone?? What the hell 10.04 updater does with grub, and why can't it simply leave it alone? | 13:59 |
| sheikh | Can anyone tell me where is loging program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10 | 13:59 |
| bagua | hi ks3. Ran fine after the first morning boot. Not the second boot... | 13:59 |
| Georgerer | Galerien: I have just a plain Ubuntu 10.04 install. | 13:59 |
| bagua | SO Let me see | 13:59 |
| bagua | to see if it is running I would look for the cron running in the backgorune | 13:59 |
| bagua | background. Right? That is to answer your question about it not running | 14:00 |
| tgywa | I am trying to install postfix from CD room, and got the error " unable to fetch ssome archives ... postfix_2.7.0-1_amd.dev File not found | 14:00 |

| sheikh | Can anyone tell me where is login screen program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10? | 14:01 |
| ks3 | bagua, On 10.04, you can run 'service cron status' | 14:01 |
| simmerz | Promythyus: ask it again | 14:01 |
| MauL^ | if my colleagues use x.bsg.local for microsoft exchange server, what should I write to OWA URL in the evolution ? | 14:01 |
| Promythyus | Problem with mysql-server-5.1: The recent update (5.1.41-3ubuntu12.3) caused apt-get upgrade to hang (left it for at least 24hrs). This caused mysql-server-5.1 to be corrupted, thus I had to remove with apt-get remove --purge. I have now reinstalled with apt-get install mysql-server-5.1, which seems to have gone fine EXCEPT that I cannot actually start the server, sudo start mysql hangs, and running start with the verbose | 14:02 |
| kbrosnan | wash: no, you would need SeaMonkey the community build of the Mozilla Suite | 14:02 |
| MauL^ | it requires me to write http somewhere, I am confused | 14:02 |
| Snadder | tgywa, what line do you got in /etc/apt/sources.list ? | 14:02 |
| wpd | IRC firsttimer -- can anybody direct me at a resource for participating in #ubuntu IRC discussions. I have connected via webchat (from my Windows PC at work -- can't install anything here) and even that took some figuring out. Took a little while to figure out I was supposed to type "join #ubuntu" once it finished connecting and giving me all sorts of warnings about not liking proxy users. Now I'm trying to figure out how to turn off t | 14:02 |
| wash | kbrosnan - really? seamonkey supports it? | 14:02 |
| bagua | ks3 will do that right now... | 14:02 |
| wash | I can honestly say I didn't expect that :P | 14:02 |
| kbrosnan | wash: seamonkey is a nntp clinet | 14:03 |
| sheikh | Can anyone tell me where is login screen program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10 | 14:03 |
| simmerz | Promythyus: running start with verbose does what? | 14:03 |
| kbrosnan | wash: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/img-screen/mailnews_overview.png | 14:04 |
| bagua | ks3 It shows "cron stop/waiting" Interesting... Wonder why on the first boot up it loaded and started and the second it didn't or it stopped... | 14:04 |
| tgywa | Snadder, in sources.list, I have deb:cdrom:[Ubuntu-server 10.04 LTS .... | 14:04 |
| Promythyus | simmerz: sudo start -v mysql just hangs, the same as sudo start mysql. No output at all | 14:05 |

| lefantomedlopera | Hello I would like to creat a new directory by sudo mkdir and to set the owner to " lefantomedlopera " instead of " root" | 14:05 |
| lefantomedlopera | so what is the syntax? | 14:05 |
| wash | kbrosnan: thanks. | 14:05 |
| simmerz | Promythyus: have you tried to run mysqld directly? | 14:05 |
| wpd | sudo mkdir blah | 14:05 |
| tgywa | Snadder, /media/CD | 14:05 |
| ks3 | bagua, Cron should log information to /var/log/syslog. That would be a good place to start looking. | 14:05 |
| LjL | lefantomedlopera: create it, then "sudo chown lefantomedlopera dirname" | 14:05 |
| indus | sheikh, its in system > admin > login window | 14:05 |
| Soyo | LjL http://pastebin.com/aVmKiYhc I uncommented line 80 and still got the same result | 14:06 |
| wpd | sudo chown lefantmedlopera blah | 14:06 |
| lefantomedlopera | because when I make sudo pcmanfm and rename the owner, the operation is forbiden | 14:06 |
| simmerz | Promythyus: I have to head off now, but that's where I'd look, as well as in the mysql log | 14:06 |
| lefantomedlopera | thanks LjL I will try | 14:06 |
| sheikh | sudo chown lefantomedlopera directoryname | 14:06 |
| tgywa | Snadder, should the mount point be mentioned in sources.list? | 14:06 |
| Promythyus | simmerz: Thanks, I'll check through the log. launching mysqld does nothing, it doesn't appear in ps aux | 14:06 |
| LjL | Soyo: ehm, i didn't want you to uncomment line 80, but to comment line 78 | 14:06 |
| bagua | ks3 thanks been in there. Didn't see anything first pass. Will look again (more closely) and get back to ya. Thank you! | 14:06 |

| Soyo | LjL ah, makes more sense. | 14:08 |
| sheikh | Can anyone tell me where is login screen program (the screen where we type username and password to log into user session) on ubuntu 8.10 | 14:08 |
| tgywa | just went well .... no error messages ... couple of lines starting with Ign cdrom:// | 14:08 |

| Zenith77 | Snadder: do you have a live CD? | 14:36 |
| SmokeyD | Galerien: umount -a unmounts all shares..... that is not what I want | 14:36 |

| Snadder | Zenith77, DO I need that?.. I have a ubuntu 10.04 server cd. | 14:37 |

| Zenith77 | Snadder: well, AFAIK, error 15 is a file not found error. It may be something in grub.conf or another grub configuration file | 14:40 |
| Zenith77 | or even grub.conf itself >.> | 14:40 |
| Snadder | Zenith77, I think I saw this error as a common thing with ubuntu 10.04.. in a FAQ. | 14:41 |
| Zenith77 | Snadder: I'd look over it myself and post it to pastebin and post it here so anyone can take a gander at it and spot something out of place in the configuration file | 14:41 |
| Snadder | Zenith77, its a plain default grub.conf.. | 14:41 |

| engywook | No, there was definitely something wacky going on with the Ubuntu server, such that my former router config did not work last night. As part of my workaround, I killed the "static" DHCP serving from the router and set eth1 with the static IP address. This morning, eth1 is gone (again), and eth0 got a random IP. My System | Preferences | Network Connections this morning (still) did not show *any* network connections, so no way to tell eth0 t | 15:21 |

| Vroomfondle | though the specifics would depend upon exactly what you're trying to do | 15:35 |

| ChaosR | hello people, I'm using wget to mirror a site using timestamping, however after it find a really big file, which should not be downloaded (and it states it won't download it), it freezes up, and starts using massive amounts of memory (about 1.2GB worth), and then after a while, it resumes normal operation, with minimal ram usage, until it finds another really big file, and the thing happens all over again | 15:37 |

Once I get the install started and go to choose a file system nothing shows up and i receive the error no root file system found.

| aar | Hi, I'm having problems with pulseaudio after swtching from kde to gnome (ubuntu 10.04). I have no sound and I get the message "waiting for sound system to respond" when trying to access the sound preferences. I tried deleting the .pulseaudio directory but that gets regenerated straight away (and seems to make no difference). | 15:38 |
| Vroomfondle | aswin: good luck. If not try "sudo aptitude reinstall libnotify-bin" instead. | 15:39 |

| aar | kreppnar, I already have alsa installed. Is it just a simple case of "apt-get remove pulse"? | 15:40 |
| kreppnar | New2Ubuntu: haha when i was learning Linux, back with Mandrake 8, you wouldn't beleive how many times i had to re-install because i would get "curious" | 15:41 |
| kreppnar | aar: yeah its what i did, and then just use Kmix to control volume or alsamixer | 15:41 |
| New2Ubuntu | curious is good almost went back to ms but I have tasted and now there is now going back | 15:42 |
| aar | kreppnar, thx | 15:42 |

| kreppnar | Gigswork: but i find it to work the best. :) | 15:45 |
| === ubuntu is now known as aranwe | ||
| GigsWork | kreppnar: that left room for a more advanced mixer system like pulse.... the main reason there's so many though is because applications need to be rewritten to use different ones | 15:46 |
| GigsWork | so as long as people use older apps the older sound systems stay around | 15:46 |
| kreppnar | buppa_: Never tried an ATI, but for linux i hear they dont have the greatest support when it comes to drivers. nvidia is a good one to look into | 15:46 |

| aranwe | ikonia so how can i change permissions? | 15:52 |

| ikonia | monokrome: ooh, I see, then you just mount it as a loopback device, (-o loop) should do it | 15:54 |
| monokrome | ikonia: I can't just mount -o loop because it's bootable, and I need it to be bootable (weird, I know) | 15:54 |
| aranwe | ikonia it says u are not the owner u cant change these permissions | 15:54 |
| ikonia | aranwe: that's not what I asked. I asked what the permissions on that file system where | 15:54 |
| aranwe | ikonia, how can i look? | 15:55 |
| sci | aranwe: become root and you can do anything you want | 15:55 |
| ikonia | aranwe: right click on it in nautlius and look at the permissions tab, or ls -la from the terminal | 15:55 |

| tinktank | it's the only way | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | tinktank: wubi is installed in the windows file system. I believe there is a how to transfer to a true install but i've heard its painful. I suggest you make sure your backups ar sufficient and do a clean install | 16:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tinktank: ive seen guides on converting a wubi install to a 'normal' install - but no idea how well they work | 16:15 |

| chisel_ | geirha: you still here? i ran into a snag | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | aswin: partition it to make a ntfs partition, then use mkfs.ntfs - or use gparted | 16:36 |
| Dr_Willis | aswin: check that its seen with 'sudo fdisk -l' If fdisk dosent even see it. well theres some deeper issues going on | 16:37 |

| aswin | i have connected the pendrive to my laptop but it is not even showing in explorer | 16:37 |
| Dr_Willis | aswin: just because gnome dosent automount it - does not mean its not 'seen' | 16:37 |

| chisel_ | geirha: yes all files copied over | 16:41 |
| aswin | in windows it was atleast telling me to format it | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | aswin: plug it in.. run 'dmesg' wait a few sec.. run 'dmesg' again.. watch what it says.. or use 'tail -f /var/log/messages' to watch for kernel messages as you insert it | 16:41 |
| geirha | chisel_: If you right-click the installer.exe file and choose run with wine, does that work? | 16:42 |

| Dr_Willis | Zela: care to tell us what button? | 17:09 |
| brotha | have you checked the keybindings on ur computer? u cld have possibly bound said button to ur mouse pad off option | 17:10 |
| Vigo | coffee_: I am still looking,,that is the common solution to those errors. pulse and or alsa , | 17:10 |
| Zela | Dr_Willis, Its a button on my Gateway computer it looks like a touchpar with a finger touching the pas and the finger has a + sign on it, it came on the Gateway computer next to the wifi insignia | 17:10 |
| tamzin | zyco | 17:10 |
| tamzin | hi | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Zela: so you are refering to the 'laptops touchpad on/off' button.... | 17:11 |
| brotha | ...that is your mouse pad off option. if you push it a second time it should theoretically come back on | 17:11 |
| tamzin | chatttttttttttttttttttttt | 17:11 |
| ActionParsnip | LovehinaX: sudo modprobe joydev; sudo modprobe analog; sudo modprobe ns558 may help | 17:11 |
| Zela | Dr_Willis, I guess, but it freezes the mouse so how do I unfreeze it when I hit the button on acccident? | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Zela: fn+thatkey should turn it on/off | 17:11 |
| brotha | by hitting it again | 17:12 |
| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: thanks Il try that out | 17:12 |
| Milp_main | Is there a way to add support for swapping into a kernel that doesnt support it (via modules or similar) without compiling a new kernel? | 17:12 |
| brotha | i think he means an actual physical button near his mouse pad tho. not like a function key | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Zela: how are you hitting that by accident? every laptop ive seen requires the FN+specialkey or a specific key thats not easially hit. to turn it on/off | 17:12 |
| Zela | no its a touch sensitive button | 17:12 |
| Zela | Dr_Willis, | 17:12 |

| Machtin | hey guys. i'm trying to launch KDE, but am stuck with a black screen.. i can see/move the mouse, but that's it. | 17:13 |
| shane2peru | using command line, isn't a ";" like a new line?? so command 1 ; command 2 the first would finish, then the second would start? | 17:13 |
| Machtin | any ideas on how to solve that? | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | brotha: one of mine does.. but its very hard to accidently hit it. | 17:13 |
| xangua | Machtin: have you already installed kubuntu-desktop ¿ | 17:13 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: try it.. ls ; cd / ; ls | 17:13 |
| Zela | Dr_Willis, Its a sensitive touch button | 17:13 |
| abhijain | hello | 17:13 |
| abhijain | everyone | 17:13 |
| Machtin | uhm, should be xangua.. it's kubuntu actually and worked for several months | 17:13 |
| abhijain | i just want to know that how can i connect my internet with data card | 17:14 |
| mims | hello | 17:14 |
| brotha | Dr_Willis: i know what you mean, but some of them are touch sensitive and relatively easy to accidentaly hit. either way i see where you are coming from and am not entirely sure how this is a distinct problem lol. but ya | 17:14 |
| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: still same problem, when I try to set some buttons in ZSNES, it quickly just sets it as J19...I dont even have time to press any button | 17:14 |
| Machtin | xangua: however, good hint! thank you! :) | 17:14 |
| coffee_ | Vigo: thanks maybe that will help :) | 17:14 |
| mims | why on ubuntu after type "sudo" we still can use "tab" button for next command ? | 17:15 |
| Zela | brotha, Would you know how to make the pad come back on because my mouse pad does not work in Ubuntu when I hit it | 17:15 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, yes, but those are so simple, I'm dealing with the second process cannot start until after the other finishes, I can't tell if those are run simultaneously, or one after the other. | 17:15 |
| Dr_Willis | mims: very well configured 'bash completion' | 17:15 |
| antivirtel | hello all, how can I write simple data a just deleted DVD-RW disc? I've deleted with brasero, but It isnt mounted, and GnomeBaker drops the formatted disk out-> "doesent seem as a writeable DVD"; but I can write it in windows with nero :S | 17:15 |

| abhijain | i have data card but due to .exe format i am unable to install driver so how can i coonnect internet in ubuntu with data card | 17:15 |
| brotha | zela, the best advice i would have would be to hit the button again and beyond i have no idea. | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru theres also the && method. Check the vaious bash guides and advanced bash scripting guide perhaps. | 17:16 |
| antivirtel | slawek > #ubuntu-pl | 17:16 |
| brotha | zela, or to use a mouse and jus tleave ur touchpad disabled | 17:16 |
| brotha | zela, i am sorry to not be of more help | 17:16 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: if the first one spawns to the background the 2nd one will then run. | 17:16 |
| Zela | brotha, that does not work, and I have to restart my computer for it to work again, np | 17:16 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, I tried another test, mkdir testing ; mkdir testing/new ; ls testing/ ; rmdir testing/new ; rmdir testing | 17:17 |
| benkevan | man .. I think Ubuntu is going down the tubes.. or at least becoming more arrogant from the top up | 17:17 |

| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: on mupen64...it doesnt even regognize any buttons, even if it says that there is a USB joystick connected | 17:17 |
| brotha | zela, hvae you looked at your keybindings and mouse settings just in case something got mixed up in there? | 17:17 |
| Zela | brotha, nope | 17:17 |

| Milp_main | I use lxde as window manager, and sometimes when im using it, i just cant seem to start any programs from the window manager anymore, if i have a console window open i can use it to start things, but i cant start or open anything from desktop or menus. How would i go about debugging this situation? | 17:18 |
| brotha | zela, i would think about doing so, however idk if it will reveal your problem. if you have said button bound to just off then it will not turn back on for example. but i am not sure how one might accidentaly do such a thing | 17:18 |
| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: ops...I was wronge...I didnt select it...but when I do...same this happens as in ZSNES...it quickly just sets it to some button...I dont even have time to press anything | 17:18 |
| Dr_Willis | Milp_main: you mean a 'terminal window' ? launch commands from it with 'commandname &' normally | 17:18 |
| wayne_ | Hi, I'm looking for help with the Qimo kids software. I currently run xubuntu 10.04. | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Milp_main: theres the #lubuntu channel also | 17:19 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, I always get & and && confused, so that is why I want to implement ; should be easier for me to remember, seems as though it is like a new line, and doesn't run till after the first command completes. | 17:19 |
| benkevan | Milp_main: maybe you can boot into runlvl 3, do start x and check the output your're getting from X | 17:19 |
| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: I think that this it due to that the gamepad isnt calibrated or whatever...but...I have no idea how to do that | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | LovehinaX: you could look at the manufacturers site to see if they support Linux. I'd get zsnes running first as muppen has extra complications with joypad plugins tc | 17:19 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: its 'command continuation' not a newline. bash also has a \ type feature to have VERY VERY long command lines. | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | LovehinaX: check jscalibrate to calibrate it, may help | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: && may be what you want. | 17:20 |
| LovehinaX | ActionParsnip: isnt jscalibrate outdated and not supported in Lucid? | 17:20 |
| shane2peru | Dr_Willis, right, I just continue to dabble with bash cli, no real formal training. :) Thanks for the info. | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | shane2peru: it pays to read thet advanced bash scripting guide,. and track down a copy of the Oreily's using Bash book. | 17:21 |
| Vigo | !man | 17:21 |

| ubutom | _pg_, but maybe there are some services out there that stream the channel you want to use, either way your computer has to be able to play such a stream | 17:38 |

| asdfasdfasdf | interesesting, but then why isnt it recommended in the download page? is it in beta? | 18:49 |

| exs | ok php works in htdocs but not in userdir | 20:53 |
| Purpley | Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer? | 20:53 |
| BinariDragon | exs, are you trying to host a site or something? is so you should in webmin a the module call virtadmin or something like | 20:53 |
| taggie | ubutom, yeah, i just haven't done boot params in years, so i wouldn't know which would fix. | 20:54 |
| BinariDragon | but in order to configure the user dir i think you have to do that from apche | 20:54 |
| ubutom | taggie, but how that works with the modern cds i don't know, with the old it gave a screen before booting and they could be appended to the boot line | 20:54 |
| ubutom | taggie, same here :) | 20:54 |
| exs | BinariDragon: just localserver | 20:54 |
| guntbert | !webmin | BinariDragon, exs | 20:54 |
| ubottu | BinariDragon, exs: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 20:54 |
| taggie | ubutom, exactly :) | 20:55 |
| luislobo | hi, i'm quite indecisive about 64bit/32bit... currently I own a 64bit processor, but still work with 32bit ubuntu, red about the theoretical differences but still left with a big question mark... can you please advise ? | 20:55 |
| sechs | hello! Can I ask some questions about ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| BinariDragon | guntbert, i have to disagree , just have webmin install all the files for you | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: if you have less than 3gb ram the 32bit is fine, if you do lots of encoding then 64bit will help, it will also mean you can install more than 3Gb ram without issue | 20:55 |
| ActionParsnip | !ask| sechs | 20:56 |
| ubottu | sechs: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:56 |
| BinariDragon | the old way was to have a deb package but now you can ust compile it | 20:56 |
| usr_ | hello, I would like to know if it is possible to have extended desktop in 3 monitors? | 20:56 |
| guntbert | sechs: this channel is for ubuntu support - so if they are support questions please do | 20:56 |
| sechs | Thank you, im new with linux, and I'm having a lot of problems... | 20:56 |
| LinuxAdmin | hi guys | 20:56 |
| luislobo | ActionParsnip, I have 8GB ram and enabled highmem support in kernel... my profile is developer/digital audio workstation... | 20:57 |
| darko3d | hello, kde is not working for me, i get to loading page but then the page goes black | 20:57 |
| guntbert | BinariDragon: be warned - webmin can break your system configuration - and please don't recommend it to others | 20:57 |
| LinuxAdmin | I'm wondering how kernel works on ubuntu | 20:57 |
| BinariDragon | usr_, yes you will need 2 dual video card with the same chip set | 20:57 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: 6whats a digital audio workstation, like audio mixing etc? | 20:57 |
| sechs | First, I think I have some problems with java aplications, or with flash, because often, my desktop gets freeze, and i have to make a manual reestart. | 20:57 |
| Purpley | Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer? | 20:57 |
| LinuxAdmin | I've got background in Slackware, where I had to compile everything by hand | 20:57 |
| darko3d | i can still here everything and when i click on the power button i get the options windows but nothing else | 20:57 |
| darko3d | so how do i set up kde? | 20:57 |
| teddybearZ | My webcam: "gSmart mini3" is supported in ubuntu, but I cant get it to work :( Can anyone help me? | 20:57 |
| sechs | i think this is a problem with firefox, but im not sure | 20:58 |
| luislobo | ActionParsnip, ardour, jack, rosegarden... high resolution timer, lots of memory | 20:58 |
| sechs | i have ubuntu 10.04 lts | 20:58 |
| LinuxAdmin | I like having ubuntu upgrade my kernel automaticaly, but I like to undestand how my system works | 20:58 |
| Nematocyst | Any idea why disk check took so long? took 3 hrs from start until login screen. running 10.04 x86 in a VM. | 20:58 |
| sechs | i thought this will work fine, but i cant use it for a long time | 20:58 |
| h00k | !kernel | LinuxAdmin | 20:58 |
| ubottu | LinuxAdmin: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages | 20:58 |
| guntbert | !enter | sechs | 20:59 |
| ubottu | sechs: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:59 |
| LinuxAdmin | ubottu: I've read that already | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:59 |
| darko3d | does anybody here recommend a good firewall for ubuntu | 20:59 |
| usr_ | BinariDragon, I see. I have 2 video outputputs from my mother board and an nvidia video card. How can I know if they have the same chipset? I think they dont though | 20:59 |
| BinariDragon | guntbert, let the user decide is they want to do it or not, lets limit there options here, well now how painful it is to configure a lamp server | 20:59 |
| sechs | ok thank you, im sorry | 20:59 |
| BinariDragon | lets not limit*** | 20:59 |
| misse- | darko3d: iptables, but I guess if you want a GUI for it: firestarter | 21:00 |
| Purpley | Can someone give me a command to change the volume in alsamixer? | 21:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Purpley: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/7972/solved-change-volume-from-command-line/ | 21:00 |
| guntbert | BinariDragon: just don't recommend webmin in this channel | 21:00 |
| LinuxAdmin | I'm trying to understand the diference between linux-headers and linux-kernel (I think this is the name) | 21:00 |
| luislobo | sechs, random freezes are normally related to bad ram or faulty processors | 21:00 |
| LinuxAdmin | linux-headers is a full kernel? | 21:00 |
| freud | anyone good with tomcat? | 21:00 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, no ... just the headers (.h) | 21:01 |
| BinariDragon | ok | 21:01 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, .h = specification , .cpp = implementation | 21:01 |
| teddybearZ | I just dont get it: "Bus 003 Device 002: ID 055f:c520 Mustek Systems, Inc. gSmart mini 3 Camera" and I still cant use it in any program :( | 21:01 |
| LinuxAdmin | I now I can compile linix-headers has I compile a normal kernel (make menuconfig) | 21:01 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuxAdmin: its just the files to allow you to make kernel modules really, linum-image-2.xxxxxxx is the actual kernel | 21:01 |
| phylock | freud - depends | 21:01 |
| LinuxAdmin | so, I thought it would be a full kernel | 21:01 |
| darko3d | so what the alternative for domain controller in ubuntu server edition | 21:01 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, no... to compile modules/kernel dependant stuff you just need the headers | 21:01 |
| phylock | !ask | freud | 21:01 |
| ubottu | freud: 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. :-) | 21:01 |
| BinariDragon | usr_, maybe my friend google can help:) | 21:02 |
| sechs | i have 1gb ram, and a p4 3800 processor, i know that's not the best for it, but i thought that it would work. May i have to install an older version of ubuntu? Sorry for my bad english >__< | 21:02 |
| usr_ | :( | 21:02 |
| cyborgsmurf | why do I always get these weird problems in Ubuntu... | 21:02 |
| LinuxAdmin | if I make any change with "make menuconfig" will my ubuntu continuing to update my kernel automaticaly? | 21:02 |
| freud | phylock: i installed tomcat6 from aptitude, server is running, but shutdown script not working, and no auto deploy... | 21:02 |
| pietr | hello, I have problem with lagging ssh server on new ubuntu 10.04. have you experienced simmiliar problems? where to look for solution? | 21:03 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, you are really putting questions that cannot be answered in a IRC channel | 21:03 |
| ActionParsnip | LinuxAdmin: sure but they will not use the options you define for your custom kernel | 21:03 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, compiling the kernel is a complex process that needs some background | 21:03 |
| hdon | hi all. i'm trying to install skype to lucid. in Software Sources i have enabled two sources: | 21:04 |
| hdon | http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner | 21:04 |
| hdon | http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code) | 21:04 |
| darko3d | so what the alternative for domain controller in ubuntu server edition | 21:04 |
| LinuxAdmin | I've got that backgound, I compiled dozens of kernels from scratch | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: its not that complex | 21:04 |
| freud | phylock: is there a auto deploy trick i'll have t do? | 21:04 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, your best shot in ubuntu is to google for : compile kernel ubuntu way | 21:04 |
| hdon | but even after apt-get update (or what i assume Reload button does after i close Software Sources) i do not see Skype! | 21:04 |
| cyborgsmurf | Ubuntu: Lbreakout2 editor, goodies arent displayed, why? | 21:04 |
| luislobo | ActionParsnip, for me or someone who did it before it's really not | 21:04 |
| darko3d | how do i setup kde ? | 21:04 |
| ActionParsnip | !skype | hdon | 21:04 |
| ubottu | hdon: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga | 21:04 |
| woodworks | i see helpers asking all the time "did you do an upgrade or fresh install?", is an upgrade not a good option? I have dial-up and downloading an ISO is a two day affair... | 21:05 |
| LinuxAdmin | I'm not a newbie, I'm just trying to undestand the relationship beteew ubuntu and kernel | 21:05 |
| akSeya | hi there | 21:05 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: i started Linux on gentoo, learned a lot andits not hard, just takes a tiny bit of reading | 21:05 |
| hdon | ActionParsnip, i am reading instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype already! those instructions are what have lead me to this path, but the "skype" package still does not appear! | 21:05 |
| luislobo | ActionParsnip, been there :) | 21:05 |
| LinuxAdmin | with other distros I compiled everything from scratch, now I see ubuntu upgrading the kernel automaticaly | 21:05 |
| misse- | woodworks: my experience is that it depends on how much you've "tweaked" your install. a default install upgrades just fine mostly | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: http://linux.dipin.info/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html | 21:06 |
| sechs | I read that my problem would solve not using gnome, its that true? | 21:06 |
| HsH | hdon, 10.04==lucid, not karmic | 21:06 |
| akSeya | i had a problem once, that init.gz took too long to load. I remember, you guys told me to add something on menu.lst .. any idea what could it be? | 21:06 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, my way of doing kernel in ubuntu is to create a kernel package bundle (headers+linux+source) | 21:06 |
| guntbert | hdon: what ubuntu version are you running? | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | luislobo: found that in 55 seconds | 21:06 |
| luislobo | ActionParsnip, skype ? | 21:06 |
| woodworks | misse- ah, that makes sense, was wondering why there would be upgrade if its not recommended | 21:06 |
| misse- | woodworks: isn't an online upgrade over dial-up just as timeconsuming? I would prefer a one-time download that can be reused | 21:06 |
| cyborgsmurf | Ubuntu: Lbreakout2 editor, goodies arent displayed, why? | 21:06 |
| ActionParsnip | hdon: sorry. see above ^ | 21:06 |
| phylock | freud - auto deploy?? how do you restart the service?? sudo service tomcat6 stop or the script directly | 21:06 |
| hdon | HsH, i don't understand, where was any hint of ubuntu version mentioned except where i said "karmic?" please explain :) | 21:06 |
| hdon | guntbert, i just upgraded to Lucid | 21:07 |
| hdon | is ekiga based on gstreamer? | 21:07 |
| LinuxAdmin | I know how to compile a kernel in ubuntu, but I couldn't undestand yet if I can get automatic kernel upgrade if I make some changes | 21:07 |
| woodworks | misse- don't know about timing yet, just getting prepared, upgrading to dedicated line next week (high speed not available in my area) | 21:07 |
| LinuxAdmin | I try to explain what happened to me | 21:08 |
| taggie | Anybody try to install/run live on an HP 2740p tablet laptop? I get blank screen after usplash, no GDM/X. 386 or x64, same behavior | 21:08 |
| misse- | woodworks: for me; I usually save my settings for apps which I edit the config for a lot and then do a fresh install (leaving my data-partition intact of course) | 21:08 |
| freud | phylock: there are scripts in a /bin folder that are supposed to shutdown/startup the tomcat server...i'll just google some more | 21:08 |
| misse- | woodworks: that's too bad with your connection and all, where're you from? | 21:08 |
| HsH | <hdon> hi all. i'm trying to install skype to lucid. in Software Sources i have enabled two sources: | 21:08 |
| HsH | <hdon> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner | 21:08 |
| HsH | <hdon> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu karmic partner (Source Code) | 21:08 |
| llutz | LinuxAdmin: you won't unless you name your own kernel exactly as the shipped one. and in that case, your changes were lost | 21:08 |
| LinuxAdmin | I had OCFS2 on top of DRBD on my cluster node | 21:08 |
| woodworks | misse- kentucky hills | 21:08 |
| guntbert | hdon: did you add the partner repo? then "reload"? | 21:08 |
| greenjon | HsH: beat me to it. thanks lol | 21:08 |
| hdon | HsH, yes, oh, you're right. hmm! i guess upgrading did not upgrade my sources.list?! HOW could it not upgrade my sources.list??? | 21:09 |
| phylock | freud - what if you start it as a service "sudo service tomcat6 stop" | 21:09 |
| * hdon upgraded via the Software Update GUI | 21:09 | |
| LinuxAdmin | last week I decided to restart my server and DRBD haven't started | 21:09 |
| cyborgsmurf | can anyone help me with my LBreakout2 problem? | 21:09 |
| LinuxAdmin | so, my cluster was down | 21:09 |
| misse- | woodworks: uhm, kentucky as in U.S.? | 21:09 |
| rww | hdon: because partner repositories are disabled by default, and the upgrade tool sees disabled repositories as comments and ignores them | 21:09 |
| hdon | ahhh | 21:09 |
| usr_ | I cant refresh youtube videos nor use the bottom bar inside the video screen. How can I fix that? | 21:09 |
| guntbert | hdon: "other" repos normally get disabled during an upgrade and you should adapt them later | 21:10 |
| hdon | rww, thanks for the help | 21:10 |
| LinuxAdmin | I realized that was a problem with DRBD module, it couldn't load | 21:10 |
| hdon | and to others :) | 21:10 |
| freud | phylock:sure thing... | 21:10 |
| Purpley | How do I launch firefox from a command?\ | 21:10 |
| mmfb | I'm very fresh into Linux use and I'm looking for a Xubuntu help server here in IRC. Does anyone know if there is one, and how I can access it? | 21:10 |
| luislobo | LinuxAdmin, so you want to disable automatic kernel upgrade ? | 21:10 |
| woodworks | misse- yep, cell phone is still 2g, copper based tele lines, sat is only hi speed option | 21:10 |
| hdon | ok i fixed my sources.list thank you all :) | 21:10 |
| sechs | sorry, shall i repeat my question? if I install an older version of ubuntu, my problem will solve? or quiting gnome? | 21:10 |
| hdon | i see skype package now | 21:10 |
| rww | mmfb: you can ask Xubuntu questions here or in #xubuntu | 21:10 |
| LinuxAdmin | so, I configured GRUB to use older kernel version and everything is working again | 21:10 |
| gothenburg | which font is default in ubuntu? | 21:10 |
| LinuxAdmin | I don't want to disable kernel upgrade, ofcourse not | 21:10 |
| misse- | woodworks: wow :/ I live in sweden. Grew up in a town of 10.000 people. got ADSL in like.. 99-00 | 21:11 |
| LinuxAdmin | but I can't have DRBD working with the recent kernel | 21:11 |
| HsH | <gothenburg> sans | 21:11 |
| gothenburg | HsH: ok | 21:11 |
| freud | phylock:still wonder why the scrpt don't work, but that's another question...one more forya, i've entered new users in the users.xml, but they don't get recognized(manager role) | 21:11 |
| misse- | woodworks: and now they're installing a MAN in my mothers house | 21:11 |
| greenjon | sechs: i'd say go ahead and repeat the question. maybe someone will see it and help you out that didn't see it before | 21:11 |
| cyborgsmurf | no?... okay... how can it be that I can type åäö (swedish letters) here but not in browser-search-window | 21:12 |
| gothenburg | åäö | 21:12 |
| LinuxAdmin | I think package managers would deal with this kind of dependencies, I can't undestand how I couldn't start a module just because a kernel upgrade | 21:12 |
| greenjon | woodworks: i'm right there with you on the being stuff with sat for internet :/ | 21:12 |
| gothenburg | cyborgsmurf: för att svenska är lamt | 21:12 |
| mmfb | I'm having trouble running Wine under Xubuntu 9.10. Everytime I try to run a game it is VERY slow, even with older games. Ex. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory | 21:12 |
| LinuxAdmin | wouldn't apt-get be smart enough to deal with this? | 21:12 |
| woodworks | misse- well, its wierd 1/2 mile away is fiber optic cable, but we are on a spur road and no plans by phone company to upgrade for at least 6 months, closest town is 12 miles away | 21:13 |
| cyborgsmurf | gothenburg: tack, det hjälpte verkligen... inte | 21:13 |
| jmreicha | what's the best way to become linux sysadmin? | 21:13 |
| usr_ | I have problems with flash player on firefox, I cannot adjust the timing in youtube videos and any icon inside the video screen cannot be selected | 21:13 |
| phylock | freud - there is some problems with CATALIN something path you have to fix, but thats a loong time ago and i don't remeber exactly how. | 21:13 |
| misse- | mmfb: are you sure you've installed the proper graphics driver? And are you starting wolfenstein with an -opengl switch (if supported)? | 21:13 |
| MeanEYE | evening! :D | 21:14 |
| rww | LinuxAdmin: it's not apt-get's job to deal with module upgrades, it's the kernel and module packages'. If your module doesn't use dkms, it isn't going to get autorebuilt by the kernel package scripts. | 21:14 |
| usr_ | how can I know which video cards I have on my pc? | 21:14 |
| misse- | woodworks: half a mile? Sounds like someone might be able to solder on a cable of his own and draw the fibre along the powerlines :P | 21:14 |
| LinuxAdmin | I solved my problem, I used older kernel and I'm praying that next upgrade to the kernel has got this dependencies solved | 21:14 |
| BluesKaj | usr_, in the terminal , lspci | grep VGA | 21:15 |
| freud | phylock: thanks for the help, i'll just study the docs some more :) BTW the stop service worked off course | 21:15 |
| usr_ | BluesKaj, thanks | 21:15 |
| guntbert | Purpley: type firefox | 21:15 |
| sechs | ok, thank you. I repeat all. I have ubuntu 10.04 lts, and i have problems, it gets freezed, and i have to reestart manually, I have a p4 3800 processor, and 1 gb ram, and a nvidia graphics, gforce 5500 fx, and all worked fine with windows, but i dont want to use it anymore. I read about my problem starts with some apps, like java or flash, with firefox, I read too that gnome has some problem too. I dont know. Maybe if I install an older | 21:16 |
| sechs | version of ubuntu may it works, but I like the use of this operating system. Some solutions? | 21:16 |
| mmfb | A friend of mine set up Xubuntu for me and I'm not sure how to run Wolfenstein with an opengl | 21:16 |
| Purpley | Is there a way to bind buttons that arent detected by keyboard shortcuts? | 21:17 |
| Aquina | lol | 21:17 |
| gee | sechs. sind sie deutsche? | 21:17 |
| === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF | ||
| sechs | gee, what? i dont understand... Im spanish | 21:17 |
| misse- | Purpley: yeah, xev is used for detecting the keycode.. guess you can google "bind keys xev" | 21:17 |
| gee | ah lol, your name is german for 6 | 21:17 |
| sechs | gee i know hehehe, its from a comic. | 21:18 |
| gee | sechs have you tried installing the nvidia driver? | 21:18 |
| sechs | yeah, I install it. but didnt work better | 21:18 |
| misse- | gee: the german word for 6 is pronounced almost exactly like the swedish word for 6, which is spelled "sex" | 21:18 |
| usr_ | I added a GTX GeForce 260 videocard to my pc but the videocard on the motherboard is not being recognized. Can I use both video cards and have extended desktop for three monitors? This is what lspci showed me: http://pastebin.com/BJ7nsfLm | 21:18 |
| Aquina | mmfb, Wolfenstein is a game written for Microsoft Windows. In that case you have to install a so called Compatibility Layer (not an emulator). WINE is the most popular one. Open a terminal and enter "sudo apt-get install wine". Then install Wolfenstein from CD. | 21:18 |
| Purpley | misse-, because btnx detected my mouse but wont lower the volume when I set a button to execute amixer set Master 10%- > /dev/null | 21:18 |
| emhs[work] | Anyone got a minute to help me debug my samba setup under 10.04 Ubuntu Desktop (x86)? | 21:18 |
| Aquina | gee, ich spreche Deutsch. | 21:19 |
| misse- | Purpley: does btnx still work in ubuntu? I thought not | 21:19 |
| Seta2501 | omg my ubuntu is useless | 21:19 |
| misse- | Seta2501: how come? | 21:19 |
| ubutom | misse-, actually the englisch word is spoken just that way too | 21:19 |
| gee | aquina tut mir leid aber ich bin schota lol | 21:19 |
| woodworks | misse- i contacted them about running fibe, even volunteered to do the install, they were gonna go for it then said it would cost me $4,000 USD for materials | 21:19 |
| Purpley | misse-, I thought it did | 21:19 |
| freud | phylock: http://oreilly.com/java/archive/tomcat-tips.html seems to have the answers | 21:19 |
| guntbert | !ot | gee | 21:19 |
| ubottu | gee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:19 |
| emhs[work] | I've tried the guides, I've tried the obvious stuff, I really need someone familiar with it to help think of NON-OBVIOUS things to try in pursuit of making it work. | 21:19 |
| Seta2501 | cuz i cant get it to keep a wifi connection and i cant get it to install apps | 21:19 |
| JusticeZero1 | Boot stops before it gets to login asking... something, but I can skip mount or manual something - it's a couple lines of text overlapping. suggestions? | 21:19 |
| Aquina | gee was ist ein "schota"? | 21:19 |
| misse- | woodworks: for materials? how can half a mile of fibre cable and 2 connectors cost that much? | 21:20 |
| emhs[work] | Never had this trouble in 9.10 Server | 21:20 |
| NerfHerder | Hey anyone know of a good channel for news/talk/science/tech/etc.? | 21:20 |
| guntbert | Aquina: please keep to the topic | 21:20 |
| woodworks | misse- i think i was being blown off actually | 21:20 |
| Purpley | NerfHerder, Offtopic but G4TV | 21:20 |
| gee | aquina scottish. anyway. sechs when does your pc normally crash? | 21:20 |
| MeanEYE | emhs[work], priv? | 21:20 |
| misse- | ubutom: uhm, the english word for sex yes, the english word for 6 is pronounced six :P | 21:20 |
| mmfb | I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs. | 21:21 |
| Aquina | Seta2501 try to use a wired connection to connect to your LANs router. CAT 5 patchcables work flawlesly with Ethernet adapters since the're supported out of the box in most cases. | 21:21 |
| sechs | gee: it get crashed when i use internet for a long. Thats why I associated it With java, flash and firefox | 21:21 |
| ubutom | misse-, woodworks if there is fibre channel and they use the old copper lines for the last part of the road they have to install a think that's could an outdoor dslam, it's pricey and maybe that's the cause they are doing it slowly | 21:21 |
| Seta2501 | i dont have internet. i baught this laptop so i could use free internet at hotspots | 21:21 |
| misse- | woodworks: yeah sounds like it.. my mom's paying about 3000$ for the install including materials and installation. She has to prepare a cable channel from the road to the house (5 meters) | 21:21 |
| JusticeZero1 | grr.. also, laptop in question's wireless is shaky. | 21:21 |
| gee | sechs guessing there are java and flash objects on the screen then? not something i have heard of | 21:21 |
| ubutom | misse-, yeah, lol, mixed that up | 21:22 |
| sechs | gee: but i think too that it's when my pc gets so hot. I think that some application gets a lot of processor. or something | 21:22 |
| ubutom | *thing that'S called.. geez, I'm tired :D | 21:22 |
| gee | sechs could just be your pc cutting off when it gets too hot then? | 21:22 |
| JusticeZero1 | *hasn't seen any reply if there was one* | 21:22 |
| misse- | ubutom: ^^, that's my point.. The swedish (and deutsch) word for 6 is sounds the same as the Eng word for sex. Swedish word for sex to. | 21:22 |
| sechs | gee: maybe. But i never had that problem before. | 21:22 |

| ubottu | misse-: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 21:23 |
| sechs | gee: i used to use windows XP and usually I use photoshop, and other heavy apps, and never gets hot. | 21:23 |
| misse- | guntbert: sry. | 21:23 |
| ubutom | misse-, maybe they use the i because of prudery? :D scnr | 21:23 |
| Aquina | guntbert I think you're not an operator next time I'll complain about you. | 21:23 |
| gee | sechs google your computer model (if its not a custom build) with the word ubuntu, see if anyone else is having similar problems | 21:23 |

| badnaam | can someone help me with slow dvd burning | 21:25 |
| trexyz | other ip address | 21:25 |
| ubutom | badnaam, depends on the speed the disc supports and soemtimes it's better to burn on lowest possible speed anyway, because it produces less faulty discs | 21:25 |
| sechs | gee: now Im doing. thanks i tell you what saint google says | 21:25 |
| llutz | ultimaexodus: being identified on usb-bus doesn't mean anything if theres no driver to handle it | 21:25 |
| badnaam | ubutom the same disc on teh same drive burn much faster on windows 7 | 21:26 |
| gee | sechs ok, could just be an incompatibility | 21:26 |
| mmfb | Reposting because it probably got lost in the crowd: I've installed Wine 1.2 rc2 and I have the Wolfenstein exe file already installed. But when running Wolfenstein it is painfully slow. Unplayable, actually. The game runs fine on my laptop which is running XP MC SP2 that has slightly lower specs. | 21:26 |
| Aquina | mmfb, unfortunately games run slow sometimes when using WINE. The call translations consume more computing time. Have you checked the AppDB on winehq.org for Wolfenstein? | 21:26 |
| Kentrel | how do I redirect the output of grep to a file so that the search terms are also color encoded, with ANSI or whatever bash uses | 21:26 |
| badnaam | somewhat slow might be fine but this is painstakingly slow | 21:26 |
| ultimaexodus | llutz: what do I need to do to make it work? | 21:26 |
| ubutom | badnaam, maybe you got dma disabled in ubuntu | 21:26 |
| Seta2501 | k ill try somewhere else this place is too busy | 21:26 |
| gee | mmfb are you talking about return to castle wolfenstein? | 21:26 |
| badnaam | ubutom how do I find out and enable it? | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | ubutom, less faulty or fewer faulty ? :) | 21:26 |
| trexyz | misse- do you know a solution? | 21:26 |
| mmfb | Yeah, but the multiplayer only version; Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory | 21:26 |
| urlwallace | dont boot with EVGA brand usb third monitor connection plugged into usb. It just corrupted my ubuntu 10.4..must reinstall...sigh | 21:26 |
| misse- | trexyz: you can do a number of things. from the session: typ "exit". from outside the session: ps auz|grep sshd to find the process associated with the session and then kill it with "kill <process number>" | 21:27 |
| ubutom | BluesKaj, more unfaulty :P | 21:27 |
| mmfb | aquina: No, I haven't. But I'll do that now. | 21:27 |
| trexyz | misse- thx | 21:27 |
| gee | mmfb there is a linux version. you wont need the .exe (thats a windows file). look up the linux one | 21:27 |
| ubutom | badnaam, should be adjustable with hdparm | 21:27 |
| rellis | you claim a monitor corrupted your entire os? | 21:27 |
| rellis | that sounds pretty unlikely | 21:27 |
| ubutom | !dma | badnaam | 21:27 |
| BluesKaj | less faultry implies they're all faaulty some less faulty than others \ | 21:27 |
| ubottu | badnaam: dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hardware transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA | 21:27 |
| urlwallace | well | 21:27 |
| Aquina | datta you can run "gnome-panel &" fom a shell. To spawn one right click on your desktop - the menue will help. | 21:28 |
| badnaam | ubutom hdparam? | 21:28 |
| ubutom | BluesKaj, well, who knows? :D The discs are not always the same quality | 21:28 |
| badnaam | oh ok I see, let me look through the docs, thanks! | 21:28 |
| urlwallace | I havnt had problems before ..with several diag boots non gui it freezes at usb audio | 21:28 |
| ubutom | yw | 21:28 |
| Aquina | h00k, what do you mean by "correct in calling"? | 21:28 |
| urlwallace | tried rebooting with an older grub alaso | 21:29 |
| h00k | Aquina: guntbert was correct for calling !ot, regardless if op status or not. | 21:29 |
| mmfb | I went to LGD and it gave me the link to that .exe file. Not sure why. I just thought that some of the game on LGD just assumed you had Wine or a similar program. | 21:29 |
| BluesKaj | ubutom, my wife is an english teacher , she corrects me for that mistake all the time :) | 21:29 |
| KenBW2 | Is it possible to have my .profile folders somewhere other than ~/ | 21:29 |
| gee | mmfb there is defanetly a linux version. i used it before | 21:29 |
| sechs | gee: maybe is a problem with drivers? but I dont know how to install them!! | 21:29 |
| ubutom | BluesKaj, hehe, well, she has to know :D | 21:29 |
| rellis | urlwallace.. certainly sounds totally unrelated to monitor config | 21:29 |
| gee | sechs yeah thats most likely your problem | 21:29 |
| mmfb | Ah, I found it. | 21:30 |
| urlwallace | thanks rellis Ill troubled shoot in that direction | 21:30 |
| gee | mmfb good :) | 21:30 |
| Meshezabeel | nm, guess I had to press ESC to access the old Ubuntu menu | 21:30 |
| sechs | gee: arghhhhhhh i hate that >__< i will try now | 21:30 |
| mmfb | gee: thank you very much. | 21:30 |
| * BluesKaj stops trolling for grammaticals | 21:30 | |
| gee | mmfb no problem | 21:30 |
| sechs | gee: maybe at synaptic i could found them? | 21:30 |
| misse- | KenBW2: it's possible I guess, but what do you want to achieve? | 21:30 |
| test1_ | Hey, sorry for asking this here, but was wondering if anyone could tell me any pros and cons over ubuntu/mint vs. pclinuxos? and of course, gnome vs kde in both cases. please message me. thank you. | 21:30 |
| gee | sechs i had to make a driver from scratch for a wireless card before...that was fun | 21:30 |
| badnaam | ubutom as per the docs I issue the command mount | egrep 'udf|iso9660' with a disc in my drive, it outputs nothing | 21:31 |
| Aquina | mmfb, I' sorry to hear that. Maybe Valve will release it's GNU7Linux client soon. I think Wolfenstein will be playable then. :-) | 21:31 |
| Seta2501 | they did make a linux version of RTCW | 21:31 |
| test1_ | trying to migrate from w7 here =) | 21:31 |
| coz_ | test1_, oh cool | 21:31 |
| KenBW2 | misse-: (1) to be able to share my home folder across installs without sharing profiles, and (2) to not have to wade through a huge list in apps that show .folders | 21:31 |
| mmfb | Aquina: I appreciate all you help, but my problem has been solved. gee told me of a Wolfenstein linux client and I've found it. | 21:31 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: download ubuntu tweak and there is a section under "Petrsonalize" that will allow you to do just tha | 21:31 |
| coz_ | test1_, how is it going so far? | 21:31 |
| axisys | !upstart | 21:32 |
| ubottu | Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 21:32 |
| ubutom | badnaam, try hdparm -d /yourdrive | 21:32 |
| Aquina | h00k, he was not since I wanted to figure out wheter that guy was only able to speak german and whether he needed help. That was the whole intention. | 21:32 |
| test1_ | coz_: that's what i just asked =) ubuntu/mint vs pclinuxos and kde vs gnome | 21:32 |
| sechs | gee: i dont understand a thing!! i will get crazy. I will search at asus web. | 21:32 |
| mmfb | I have another question. How do you "uninstall" programs on Linux? Ones that aren't within the "Add/Remove Applications"? | 21:32 |
| badnaam | ubutom I don't know what the yourdrive is | 21:32 |
| Haagimus | ubuntu tweak will allow you to change the default folder locations | 21:32 |
| ubutom | badnaam, with a sudo and where /yourdrive is the device name | 21:32 |
| brainproxy | I've manually installed the synergy plus deb; I force installed qsynergy, not wanting to install the stock synergyc/s binaries, but now I'm getting a persistent warning about a broken package related to qsnyergy | 21:32 |
| pelmen | guys, how do i install otf font in ubuntu ? | 21:32 |
| gee | aquina i speek english. dont you worry | 21:32 |
| brainproxy | how can I suprress that warning? | 21:32 |
| pelmen | it's weired that open system does not support open fonts better. | 21:33 |
| brainproxy | clarification: I mean the warning that's showing up in the overhead menubar on my desktop | 21:33 |
| coz_ | test1_, well in all honesty I if going ubuntu I would stick with regular ubuntu and if you want that windows 7 look go with kde which had that look first or if you want sensible default theme go with gnome...i prefer gnome myself but i would not go linux mint only becasue it is ... i believe... always on version behind | 21:33 |
| badnaam | ubutom how do I find out the device name? | 21:33 |
| ubutom | badnaam, look in drive utitily under system | 21:33 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: thanks, ill give it a try | 21:33 |
| h00k | Aquina: It's over, the conversation was not appropriate for this channel. Please move along :) | 21:33 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | Hello. I just need someone's help deciphering the meaning of a message kicked back to me when I attempt to run "apt-file search [file path]" and then debsums -a [key word]|grep [package name]. I am just verifying that encrypted ZIP files kicked in the scan results for KlamAV - are the original installation files (i.e. not altered, and therefore not a virus). | 21:34 |
| coz_ | test1_, rather always "one" version behind | 21:34 |
| Aquina | mmfb, is that version free? Can you post a link then for mee too? :-) | 21:34 |
| ubutom | badnaam, there your partitins are listed and also your drive, with iot's device name, mine is /dev/sr0 | 21:34 |
| mmfb | Aquina: http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=852003&k=8cfa68611a15eb88047633f183bab26ea72c2ac876be407616174e226e9b1592 | 21:34 |
| badnaam | ubutom sorry bit of a noob here, where can I get this partition list? | 21:34 |
| mmfb | It's free! :) | 21:35 |
| test1_ | coz_: i've only tested live cd-s with gnome so far and i did quite like it, was just wondering if there were any major pro's and con's. additionally, i'm a bit tired of the "windows look" =) how about pclos vs ubuntu then? i've tested both and liked pclos the best (by testing i mean check the live-cd for 20 minutes) | 21:35 |
| ubutom | badnaam, sudo hdparm -d /dev/sr0 would enable or disable dma mode on my drive for example | 21:35 |
| _marco_ | hello! | 21:35 |

| Orochi | heeeey...guuuuuys | 21:35 |
| === Orochi is now known as Orochium | ||
| test1_ | coz_: of course, #ubuntu's ten zillion irc users beats pclos' 19, but aside from that =) | 21:35 |
| gee | test1_ ubuntu is, in my opinion the most advanced and most widely supported. | 21:35 |
| Aquina | h00k, I don't understand what you mean, but it was nice to have a conversation with you. :-) | 21:35 |
| Orochium | can anyone help me with installation problem? | 21:36 |
| ubutom | badnaam, I#m not using englisch in my menus, can only guess whats it called in your system it's the second dropdown menu in system on top of screen | 21:36 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | So when I run "apt-file search /usr/xulrunner-1.9.1.9/libxul.so, and then debsums on the resulting package name - I get this message "debsums: package xulrunner is not installed". Is this anything to be concerned about? | 21:36 |
| _marco_ | I love Ubuntu | 21:36 |
| _marco_ | I have Ubuntu | 21:36 |
| Haagimus | i second that _marco_ | 21:36 |
| Aquina | :-) | 21:36 |
| gee | same lol | 21:36 |
| BluesKaj | Orochium, ask away | 21:36 |
| _marco_ | I use Ubuntu | 21:36 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: are you talking about the Change Default Folders section? | 21:36 |
| Orochium | I basically just (literally) downloaded Ubuntu 10.04, when I try to get it to boot from CD, the screen turns blue, and there's some icon at the bottom of the page, thats like some icon = a little guy in a circle, but it just hangs there, blue screen, and that icon | 21:36 |
| axisys | how do I start a process as a user with upstart ? do I just do this? su user exec /bin/foo ? | 21:37 |
| Orochium | never does anything after | 21:37 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: yes | 21:37 |
| h00k | _marco_: do you have any specific questions for us? | 21:37 |
| Orochium | this is on a Dell e310 | 21:37 |
| _marco_ | nope | 21:37 |
| ilkkaile69 | hello | 21:37 |
| gee | arent there normally problems with dell hardware? | 21:37 |
| felix__ | hey guys, i got a beginner question.... how do i get root rights for my account? | 21:37 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: that seems to only edit what would normally be in user-dirs.dirs | 21:37 |
| h00k | !sudo | felix__ | 21:37 |
| ubottu | felix__: 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 | 21:37 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | Anyone got the "411" on this - eyee, eyee !? | 21:37 |
| Orochium | no, been running linux Mint 8 and 9 flawlessly, I only ever seem to have problems with ubuntu distros | 21:37 |
| gee | felix_ in terminal use the su command | 21:37 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: i'm after moving all the .profile folders away from my normal files | 21:37 |
| ilkkaile69 | where i can get driwers for the web cam | 21:38 |
| gee | or use the sudo command | 21:38 |
| BluesKaj | Orochium, from where did you download ? | 21:38 |
| Orochium | I remember trying to get 8.04, 8.10 etc working... | 21:38 |
| Orochium | Blue: from ubuntu.com? | 21:38 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: hmmm | 21:38 |
| GreenGuy | orochium: Mint, huh? How is it for driver support? | 21:38 |
| h00k | !mint | 21:38 |
| ubottu | There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 21:38 |
| test1_ | So, anyone else have any views on PcLinuxOS vs ubuntu? | 21:38 |
| guntbert | gee: su won't get him anywhere | 21:38 |
| sechs | gee: you know how I install the .awd file, for the bios? | 21:38 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: can you specifically say what you are trying to do then i guess i mis-understood i apologize | 21:38 |
| Orochium | anyhow I'm installing Ubuntu currently, not mint | 21:38 |
| gee | sechs afraid not, not a file type ive seen before | 21:38 |
| Aquina | Orochium, I suggest you to download form the official canonical website. | 21:38 |
| digital-diesel | hi i really need help... using lucid on my laptop i was experiencing bugs so i did a fresh install of lucid and everything was working great and all of a sudden the screen got really weird and it went black with these weird colors and lines. all i could do was turn it off from the power button, and it keeps happenning. i have a karmic startup disk and i can get it to run frokm the disk... | 21:38 |

| Orochium | Aquina: link? | 21:38 |
| mmfb | gee: After downloading the Wolfenstein linux client it comes out as a .run file. How do I execute the file? It asks me to choose a program to run it under and I'm not sure what to do. | 21:38 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | uh, did anyone see my post? | 21:39 |
| Aquina | http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 21:39 |
| Orochium | because for some reason I thought ubuntu.com was the sight for ubuntu lol | 21:39 |
| Seta2501 | i think im gonna stop useing ubuntu. its just not working for me | 21:39 |
| gee | mmfb in terminal cd to the location of the file and type sudo ./nameofrunfile.run | 21:39 |
| guntbert | uo3273-fvarklb: we hear you | 21:39 |
| Orochium | Aquina: thanks thats EXACTLY what I downloaded | 21:39 |
| badnaam | ubutom I get this error when I type that command HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device | 21:39 |
| sechs | gee: and a rom file? | 21:39 |
| gee | mmfb or sudo sh ./runfile.run i think it is | 21:39 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | guntbert: K - can you help? | 21:39 |
| alket | Is it possible to run lucid with hardy kernel ? | 21:40 |
| gee | sechs lol sorry nope | 21:40 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: i want my normal files (the unhidden ones) in /home/kenneth/ but all the .mozilla, .purple, .config etc folders somewhere else - maybe even to ~/.profiles/.mozilla | 21:40 |
| KenBW2 | make sense? | 21:40 |
| guntbert | uo3273-fvarklb: sorry no | 21:40 |
| badnaam | I looked in disk utility and though I can't say for sure it seems the dvd drive is /dev/sr0 | 21:40 |
| _marco_ | See ya, guys, I go out | 21:40 |
| sechs | gee: i hate asus. | 21:40 |
| Aquina | Orochium, dod you verify the media with md5sum or by checking it form the LiveCD? | 21:40 |
| ubutom | badnaam, yeah, tried it with mine, got the same error | 21:40 |
| Orochium | yes | 21:40 |
| digital-diesel | do you mean me orochium? | 21:40 |
| gee | sechs yeah not the best make | 21:40 |
| Orochium | checksums were fine | 21:40 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | K - guntbert doesn't know. Anyone else wanna take a stab at my issue? | 21:40 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: ahhh ok i see what your asking. I'm afraid I do not know the answer to that question, sorry | 21:40 |
| Orochium | man I only seem to have problems with ubuntu, maybe I just stick with Mint Isadora then, this is like the fourth different Ubuntu distro I've tried thats never worked | 21:41 |
| KenBW2 | Haagimus: ah well, thanks anyway | 21:41 |
| ubutom | badnaam, I think it should have been unmounted first :( | 21:41 |
| Orochium | 8.04, 8.10, now 10.04 | 21:41 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: could be possibly a setting in the gnome-config | 21:41 |
| Aquina | Orochium, awry colored screen can result from hardware problems like display adapters, touch screens and other hardware. I recommend you to perfomr a text driven isntall without booting into Live-CD mode. | 21:41 |
| === KungFuBear|Bed is now known as KungFuBear | ||
| sechs | anyone here know how i install motherboard drivers, with .awd and .rom extensions? | 21:41 |
| Orochium | either it was always missing some basic generic driver or something else, blah | 21:41 |
| badnaam | ubutom oh, how do I do that? | 21:41 |
| Orochium | I'm not even making it into live cd mode | 21:41 |
| Orochium | aquina, so I'm not even sure what you're talking about | 21:41 |
| Haagimus | KenBW2: i would suspect that you would have to change system settings to do it since most everything you install defaults to your home folder for the setting files | 21:41 |
| guntbert | Orochium: this is no place for ranting - we can try to help you though | 21:41 |
| Orochium | therefore I will assume you are spouting random TS lines <3 | 21:41 |
| alecs | hi! what does means ? E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) | 21:41 |
| ubutom | badnaam, I just opened it | 21:41 |
| alecs | E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 21:42 |
| gee | orochium have you tried the alternate cd? | 21:42 |
| alecs | E: _cache->open() failed, please report. | 21:42 |
| Orochium | nah, pass, I'm already turned off. | 21:42 |
| Orochium | later. | 21:42 |
| uo3273-fvarklb | Has anyone used "apt-file search" and "debsums" in terminal to verify footprints of system files match those of the original installation files? | 21:42 |
| Aquina | Orochium, try the alternate CD and install with a less graphical isntaller. Alternatively file a bug report on launchpad.net or check whether your hardware is supported on ubuntuhcl.org. | 21:42 |
| badnaam | ubutom opened it? what? | 21:42 |
| ubutom | badnaam, I opened the drive | 21:43 |

| Appl6 | mmfb: Yes. | 21:45 |

| mmfb | The file is save to my "Download" folder. | 21:46 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: So you're not actually trying to run "runfile.run", you're trying to run "et-linux-2.55.x.86.run"? | 21:46 |
| ubutom | it will show the current mode the drive is working at and then we will know if it's wrong or not badnaam | 21:47 |
| mmfb | appl6: I should type in runfile and not actually the name of the file? | 21:47 |
| badnaam | ubutom, the star is on udma5 | 21:47 |
| gee | mmfb no | 21:47 |
| ubutom | badnaam, then it's good | 21:47 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: No, you should type the actual name of the file. Of course, it also helps if you tell _us_ the name of the file, so we know what the error messages mean. | 21:47 |

| guntbert | cedda: system/preferences/startup applications | 21:51 |

| mmfb | appl6: That worked. | 21:51 |
| h00k | mmfb: 'cd Downloads/' If you put a first shash (/Downloads) it will look to the root of the drive. If you don't, it will assume you want to go there from your current working directory (probably /home/username/Downloads) | 21:51 |

| h00k | sechs: is there a reason you're trying to specifically install the 'drivers' for Linux, is something not working? | 21:55 |
| gottto | sechs: I think that would be a windows thing - there would have been instuctions or a readme file | 21:55 |

| sebsebseb | rcscomp: so yeah try and get it working natively :) if no luck, you can try Ndiswrapper and probably use a Windows driver for it | 22:09 |
| rcscomp | sebsebseb: thing is, its worked before | 22:09 |

| rcscomp | but this time, the lights don't go back and forth, the one light just stays on | 22:10 |
| sebsebseb | rcscomp: when did it stop working then? | 22:10 |
| ljsoftnet | sebsebseb: yes and original | 22:10 |
| guntbert | alecs: I don't remember where apt stores its staus files - I try to find them right now | 22:10 |
| sebsebseb | ljsoftnet: ok you will need to install DVD support, since legal reasons Ubuntu does not have that pre installed | 22:10 |
| rcscomp | sebsebseb: just now, turned on the laptop and plugged in the card and no go. iwconfig still shows the card, although its not in ifconfig any more | 22:10 |
| ubutom | nikitis, doesn't look bad. Well, you could buy it, try it and if it doesn't work return it | 22:10 |
| gee | mmfb ok, i'll let you know if i get it running | 22:11 |

| malac0da | Can anyone help me with getting sound to work on my laptop. It was working fine up until like yesterday | 22:11 |
| nikitis | ubutom: I'm sure it works on a basic level. How does Ubuntu determine the DPI of a mouse? | 22:11 |
| alecs | guntbert: thanks | 22:11 |
| ljsoftnet | sebsebseb: i just need the drive location of the usb External Optical drive | 22:11 |
| sebsebseb | ljsoftnet: uhmm /media /mnt ??? /etc/fstbab ? | 22:11 |
| h00k | ljsoftnet: probably /media/something | 22:11 |
| offy | On my laptop I have ubuntu 10.04. When it is loading something the touchpad doesn't work | 22:11 |
| nikitis | ubutom: is there a /etc/ file for mice which tells ubuntu to use a certain DPI? | 22:12 |
| malac0da | I think it stopped working right after an update. | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | ljsoftnet: thats /etc/fstab | 22:12 |
| ubutom | nikitis, I'm not sure about that, never had one that was able to switch, but maybe the mouse itself does that | 22:12 |
| MrAlexandro | could anyone not be an asshole and please redirect me to a channel where i could get help with proxy redirecting and vmware | 22:12 |

| arleslie | I'm unable to connect to WEP wireless networks with a Netgear usb adapter, any ideas how to fix this? | 22:12 |
| mmfb | appl6: No I haven't. | 22:12 |
| ubutom | !language MrAlexandro | 22:12 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: My Internet connection is dying (thanks Comcast), so I can't search. All I can say is that you need to download a libgtk-1.2 package from an older version of Ubuntu (which you can find by searching for it at packages.ubuntu.com). Maybe someone else can pick up from here. Ubuntu uses libgtk-2.0 now, which is why you don't have the older version. | 22:12 |
| sebsebseb | ultimaexodus: uhmm I don't know | 22:12 |
| emhs[work] | An fstab entry for a USB external drive is processed at boot, right? | 22:13 |
| MrAlexandro | ubutom: sorry :/ | 22:13 |
| nikitis | Appl6: Get a new ISP. Speak with your money | 22:13 |
| whodat | I got a pair of usb to cat5 extenders, but my webcam isnt seen on them, do I need a module built or called? not in lsusb or dmesg | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | ultimaexodus: ask again in a bit with all the detaills, maybe even try ##linux and be sure to tell them your on Ubuntu | 22:13 |
| ljsoftnet | sebsebseb: /etc/fstab is not a drive location | 22:13 |
| emhs[work] | By the way, folks, MeanEYE rocks. | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | ljsoftnet: indeed, but | 22:13 |
| emhs[work] | Just thought y'all should know that. | 22:13 |
| sebsebseb | !fstab | ljsoftnet | 22:13 |
| mmfb | Appl6: Haha, that might be the issue. I'll look for it now and update you guys soon. | 22:13 |
| ubottu | ljsoftnet: 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 | 22:13 |
| gee | mmfb appl6 that is the exact thing i am looking for just now haha | 22:13 |
| ultimaexodus | sebsebseb: thanks maan...Il do that :) and...Il hang in there | 22:14 |
| MeanEYE | haha :$ *shy* | 22:14 |
| ljsoftnet | sebsebseb: im not looking for drive partitions | 22:14 |
| alecs | guntbert: are we speaking of /var/cache/apt folder ? | 22:14 |
| ubutom | ljsoftnet, try the drive management wizard from menu | 22:15 |
| ubutom | ljsoftnet, also displays device names | 22:15 |
| ljsoftnet | ubutom: exactly where is that? where do i start? | 22:15 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: gee: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 | 22:16 |
| guntbert | alecs: I'm not sure, but in the meantime you could try to use aptitude instead of apt-get | 22:16 |
| ubutom | ljsoftnet, second location in system menu, the thing with a drive icon | 22:16 |
| gee | Appl6 thanks so much | 22:16 |
| alecs | guntbert: my synaptic and update manager crashes as well | 22:16 |
| mmfb | Appl6: How do I know which to download? | 22:16 |
| ubutom | ljsoftnet, the same location the drive thingy is located and update management | 22:17 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: Do you have 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu? | 22:17 |
| ubutom | *driver | 22:17 |
| Kane_Hart | will ubuntu work okay on windows 7 with 2gigs of ram in vmware? | 22:17 |
| ubutom | Kane_Hart, depends | 22:17 |
| mmfb | Appl6: Where can I find that out? | 22:18 |
| guntbert | alecs: from wikipedia: /var/lib/apt/lists/ : storage area for state information for each package resource specified in sources.list - are there any files? | 22:18 |
| gee | Appl6 having problems with the deb now lol | 22:18 |
| ubutom | Kane_Hart, dependswin7 also need some of the RAM | 22:18 |
| rcscomp | I have done a little more work based on the troubleshooting guide and my card shows as "DISABLED" in lshw -C. How do I enable it? | 22:18 |
| Octo_ | hola | 22:18 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: Paste here the results of "uname -m". | 22:18 |
| Appl6 | gee: "Problems"? | 22:18 |
| Kane_Hart | I need to compile some code id give it 1gig ram and the cpu is like 2.5ghz duo and this would only be all via SSH no gui | 22:18 |
| mmfb | appl6: i686 | 22:18 |
| nmvictor | i am running lucid, the application "System>Preference>Power Management", is it supposed to have an "On Battery Tab" | 22:18 |
| alecs | guntbert: yes .... here are a lot of files | 22:18 |
| ubutom | Kane_Hart, so you can't really expect win7 to run great while the vm is running, if you give it more than 512MB it will be even slower | 22:18 |
| gee | Appl6 yeah doesnt want to install because the one i have is >= the one i've downloaded | 22:19 |
| lungan | Having som audiotrouble in ubuntu 10.04, If i start firefox before spotify or antything else, the sound only works in firefox (yuotube etc), but if I start spotify first, the sound only works in spotify | 22:19 |
| ubutom | Kane_Hart, should work | 22:19 |
| Appl6 | mmfb: At the bottom of the page you'll see "Download libgtk1.2", choose the i386 one. | 22:19 |
| Kane_Hart | okay better yet then. Macbook osx10 4gigs ram duo 2.4ghz | 22:19 |
| Octo_ | Can anyone help me with a [errno 5] i/o error in Ubuntu 10.04 install? No luck with the official fix... =[ | 22:19 |

| guntbert | nmvictor: here yes | 22:23 |
| Appl6 | gee: You're entering uncertain territory. You can pass --force-downgrade to dpkg, but this is risky business, and could seriously mess up your system. | 22:23 |

| mmfb | Appl6: That's the Status I get when try to install the package. | 22:25 |
| Appl6 | gee: You told me something totally different. | 22:25 |
| gee | Appl6 lol i just looked at the >= | 22:25 |
| Appl6 | gee: mmfb: That error is really easy to fix. Just go back to the page you downloaded the package from, and under "Other Packages Related to" you'll see "libglib1.2ldbl". Download that one, too, and install it first. | 22:26 |
| gee | Appl6 thanks :) | 22:26 |

| alecs | guntbert: " cd /var/lib/apt ; sudo rm -rf lists; mkdir -p lists/packages ; sudo chown -R root:root ./lists " | 22:30 |

| Serraphyn | If your not a great programmer what is ubuntu good for? I mean linux in general has very few native games so its not a great game machine so what else is there if you to dumb to code? | 23:04 |
| gee | mmfb i have never used xubuntu so i'm not sure if its different | 23:05 |
| MeanEYE | Serraphyn, anything you need? | 23:05 |
| Appl6 | gee: mmfb: So what's the status? | 23:06 |
| Serraphyn | MeanEYE, Well the only thing I did in windows 7 really was work on php, play Valve Games and dream of being a programmer. PHP I already work on but I don't see games that work without a ton of emulation and configuration that I think I'm to dumb for. | 23:06 |
| gee | Appl6 mmfb seems mine has installed | 23:06 |
| Appl6 | gee: Does the game work? | 23:07 |
| RegressLess | ubuntu 9.04 Where is the default installation directory for Firefox? | 23:07 |
| MeanEYE | Serraphyn, there are a lot of native games for linux... besides, you can always learn another programming language :D | 23:08 |

| gee | mmfb sudo | 23:08 |
| Vooloo | how do I know what firewall is on? ps aux does not display iptables | 23:08 |
| Serraphyn | MeanEYE, I have tried, but the books and docks on stuff are hard for me to follow and game wise unless I want to play games from what look like mid 90s nintendo I have yet to find much for linux. | 23:08 |
| gee | mmfb that what you mean? | 23:09 |
| CaptainTrek | mmfb: where <command> is whatever command you want to run as root | 23:09 |
| MeanEYE | Serraphyn, what type of games are you interested in ? | 23:09 |
| mmfb | gee: CaptainTrek: Every time I try set up a directory I'm told "No write permissions <directory>" | 23:09 |
| gee | mmfb what you typing to exicute the .run file? | 23:10 |
| CaptainTrek | mmfb: it means that whatever directory you're creating your directory in is protected so you can't create it there | 23:10 |
| Serraphyn | MeanEYE, I used to play games like Team Fortress 2 and Force Unleashed. Also like playing MMORPGs but I don't see any that really work well in linux emulated or not | 23:10 |
| the_madman | Lo everyone. | 23:11 |
| mmfb | gee: sh ./et-linux-2.60.x86.run | 23:11 |
| MeanEYE | Serraphyn, well, there are things like Quake Live, which is quite good. Then there's number of ported games... | 23:11 |
| Serraphyn | mmfb, is that enemy territory? | 23:11 |

| Serraphyn | gee: will this work okay on amd64 system? | 23:13 |
| ohzie | Hey everybody! =) | 23:14 |
| Serraphyn | Hi Dr. Ohzie | 23:14 |
| Vooloo | gee: 404? | 23:14 |
| gee | Serraphyn thats what i'm running. had to install gtklib1.2 | 23:14 |
| Vooloo | guntbert: right, but what process is the firewall in ps aux? or is it not there? | 23:14 |
| gee | Vooloo ? | 23:14 |
| ohzie | Is there a way to enable sata hotswap support? | 23:14 |
| guntbert | Vooloo: no, it is the kernel itself | 23:14 |
| Vooloo | gee: 404 on et | 23:14 |
| Serraphyn | gee, I see if I have them installed to be safe | 23:14 |
| mmfb | gee: Worked. Installing now | 23:14 |
| JimmyNeutron | How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update? | 23:14 |
| Vooloo | guntbert: ah | 23:14 |
| banker247 | when i do a command.. sudo chmod -R a+rw /var/www | 23:15 |
| gee | mmfb great! i'm trying to get my sound working now | 23:15 |
| the_madman | I act as tech support for my family, and I've set up a remote desktop server on one of the computers with the standard Ubuntu tool. | 23:15 |
| banker247 | does that enaable recursevly access to all files within folders and subfolders of this directory? | 23:15 |
| gee | Vooloo ok sorry i must have got it wrong | 23:15 |
| Ginbun2 | it seems the new Ubuntu release has a lot of changes in the ways software are configured | 23:15 |
| guntbert | banker247: yes and it is a *very bad idea* | 23:15 |
| Serraphyn | gee, apt-get install gtklib1.2 package not found :( | 23:15 |
| Ginbun2 | now I can't even do /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 23:15 |
| the_madman | From another Ubuntu machine, Applications --> Internet --> Remote Desktop Client connects and works well. | 23:15 |
| gee | Serraphyn Vooloo wget -c http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/wolfenstein/et-linux-2.60.x86.run | 23:15 |
| banker247 | guntbert why if i am the only user? | 23:16 |
| gee | Serraphyn yeah you have to look up the packages two secs i'll get the page | 23:16 |
| Serraphyn | o.O | 23:16 |
| Serraphyn | okay thanks | 23:16 |
| the_madman | But on my Kubuntu machine, even though the server appears in KRDC, double-clicking it results in, "Server not found" errors. | 23:16 |
| Vooloo | gee: found itin the dir list | 23:16 |
| matumba | hello, quakelive sometimes leaves my gamma setting changed like ingame after closing firefox, any smart command to set it back to default? | 23:16 |
| gee | Serraphyn http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libgtk1.2 | 23:16 |
| the_madman | Is there something else I need to install for KRDC to work properly with VNC? | 23:16 |
| sechs | i have more problems, seing that the one with freezes will not get solved soon. I have installed pydance, and it gets an error, and dont start running. the message that appears is "sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive." anyone know why? | 23:17 |
| MeanEYE | matumba, you can always write your config | 23:17 |
| Serraphyn | gee, so I install gimp I guess? | 23:17 |
| gee | mmfb can you remember what Appl6 said that other thing we were to download was? before Libgtk1.2.deb would work? | 23:17 |
| guntbert | banker247: because if anyone gets remote access to your machine he can write there too - giving rights to "all" is very rarely necessary | 23:17 |
| gee | Serraphyn i already had it installed lol | 23:17 |
| Serraphyn | I was gonna install it anyways as I use it alot | 23:18 |
| matumba | MeanEYE, QL works fine but after closing firefox the screen stays bright. restarting the X server works but that's a rather bad solution. | 23:18 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: You need http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 . | 23:18 |
| ubutom | sechs, you got the disc of that game? | 23:18 |
| MeanEYE | oh... | 23:18 |
| MeanEYE | hm, matumba can we chat private... | 23:18 |
| sechs | ubutom, nop, it used to work fine, because i have it instaled on my computer. I installed it from the console.... | 23:18 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: If it complains about unsatisfiable dependencies, check that same page for the names of those packages, so you can download and install them first. | 23:18 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, okay thanks | 23:19 |
| zap117 | dont know if im in the right place but can any one help me with installing ubuntu on a raid0 system ? | 23:19 |
| sechs | ubutom when i installed some songs it ask for the cdrom, but i not have any cd rom. I never have it | 23:19 |
| gee | mmfb Appl6 Serraphyn i aint got no sound but i have the game working at least lol | 23:19 |
| Vooloo | I had a window manager before that would "minimize" the window to only a titlebar when you double clicked the tiblebar, can this be done? maybe with compiz? | 23:20 |
| ubutom | sechs, homepage says : Reads DWI, SM, and KSF files, in addition to its own .dance format. | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | gee Appl6 http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/libgtk1.2 | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | er | 23:20 |
| ubutom | sechs, so you have to have some sort of file for it to work, if it worked before | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | gee Appl6 ./setup.sh: 289: /root/.setup12491: not found | 23:20 |
| Serraphyn | when I sudo sh et-linux* | 23:20 |
| zap117 | anyone ? | 23:20 |
| ubutom | sechs, nah, seems it has music included, then i don't know... have you tried reinstalling it? | 23:21 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: Why is it in /root? Where are you running setup.sh from? | 23:21 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, I sudo -i wget it to /root and was doing sh et-linux* | 23:22 |
| sechs | ubutom I tried, but if I install more songs in .dwi format, it dont work! if it runs I cant dance, but if I can dance it dont run! | 23:22 |
| banker247 | guntbet is there a way to check which areas have fulll 777 permissions? | 23:22 |
| ubutom | hhm, strange sechs | 23:23 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: Don't wget it to root. Move it to your home folder or to Downloads or something. | 23:23 |
| mmfb | gee: OH THANK GOD! I finally got out of it. | 23:23 |
| mmfb | gee: It's SUPER slow for some reason. | 23:23 |
| mmfb | gee: It seems like every game I play runs stupid slow. | 23:23 |
| JimmyNeutron | How come "sudo apt-get upgrade" does not install the linux kernel update? | 23:23 |
| zap117 | my installation only finds 1 out of 2 raid0 arrays | 23:24 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: Does it give you any errors or warnings? | 23:24 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, same error just different dir. | 23:24 |
| hiexpo | JimmyNeutron, you answered your own ? | 23:24 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, It just tells me its held back | 23:24 |
| sechs | ubutom, Im getting familiar with strange things with ubuntu | 23:24 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, If I use the Update GUI app, than it installs | 23:25 |
| ubutom | sechs, pydance has hardly much to do with ubuntu | 23:25 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: So is it installed or not? | 23:25 |
| JimmyNeutron | I'm just trying to understand why the CLI commands don't work, but the GUI update works | 23:25 |
| gee | mmfb i just get kicked out of the game when i try to connect to a server now lol | 23:25 |
| Serraphyn | Gee, Appl6 : http://www.pastie.org/1001386 <-- what am I doing wrong? | 23:25 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: Make sure you chown those files, since you downloaded them as root. | 23:26 |
| shane2peru | is there a simple way to have a script confirm before removing a file? rm should ask for confirmation, but it doesn't ??? | 23:26 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, Using the CLI commands, it does not work....using the GUI update program, it works | 23:26 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6 I did a chmod 777 on them | 23:26 |
| gee | Serraphyn not seen that before :S | 23:26 |
| unop | shane2peru, rm -i ... | 23:27 |
| Serraphyn | its okay Gee, I think I'm cursed when it comes to computers | 23:27 |
| guntbert | banker247: find / -perm 777 | 23:27 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: It's telling you that a file doesn't exist. Does it exist? | 23:27 |
| MeanEYE | shane2peru, in terminal type alias, and check if there are no aliases defined for rm | 23:27 |
| sechs | ubutom i also tryed to use stepmania with wine, but my wine dont works, so my last hope was pydance. | 23:27 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: Once you upgrade the kernel, you can't upgrade it again to the same version. | 23:27 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6 what file? I'm not controlling what it does after I do the .run file, did you look at the link I posted? | 23:27 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: So if you've already upgraded it with the GUI, then you're not going to be able to upgrade it again. | 23:27 |
| Onepamopa | hi all | 23:27 |
| MeanEYE | Onepamopa, hi! :D | 23:28 |
| mmfb | I'm running 1Gb RAM and 2.2Ghz processor. Why are older games like Wolfenstein: EM running so slow even on the "fastest" settings? | 23:28 |
| ubutom | sechs, you could always try to contact the makers of pydance | 23:28 |
| shane2peru | unop, thanks!!! | 23:28 |
| MeanEYE | mmfb, compiz maybe? | 23:28 |
| Serraphyn | mmfb, what video card? | 23:28 |
| Onepamopa | So.. I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports) | 23:28 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: Don't get snarky. The pastebin says "./setup.sh: 273: /home/serraphyn/.setup12608: not found", where it's clearly telling you that it cannot find this particular file, "/home/serraphyn/.setup12608". I'm asking if it exists. | 23:28 |
| mmfb | My XP SP2 with 1Gb RAM and 1.8Ghz processor runs it just fine. | 23:28 |
| Onepamopa | any way of doing that ? | 23:28 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, it was the default kernel for 10.04, 2.6.32-21 and sudo apt-get upgrade tells me there is a 2.6.32-22 but the kernel update is being held back | 23:28 |
| mmfb | I'm not sure. How can I tell? | 23:28 |
| ohzie | Hey does anyone know how to use drivers built for, say, RHEL/FC or SUSE? | 23:28 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, videocard, driver version and compiz on or not will matter. | 23:29 |
| mmfb | I got this computer with Linux preinstalled on it from a friend. | 23:29 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, sorry I wasn't trying to be snarky, just I didn't make that file so let me check | 23:29 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: Why do you say that the GUI succeeded in upgrading it? If there's still an upgrade then the GUI didn't do it either. | 23:29 |
| sechs | ubutom, i think i will install an older version of ubuntu. My pc dont like 10.04 | 23:29 |
| mmfb | How can I check all that without taking a screwdriver to my tower? | 23:29 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6 no it does not exist | 23:29 |
| MeanEYE | Onepamopa, realtime? | 23:29 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, glxinfo | grep OpenGL | 23:29 |
| Onepamopa | I'm looking for a way to scan all incomming connections to my linux server for proxy (3-4 defined ports) and then filtering them via apf | 23:30 |
| Onepamopa | anyone? | 23:30 |
| sechs | maybe is the best way to solve my problems. I really dont want to get windows again... | 23:30 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: If you looked for it with ls, make sure you do "ls -A", otherwise it won't display hidden files. | 23:30 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, and go to System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects, check if it's off. | 23:30 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, Before the update, I did a "uname -a" and it shows the kernel as 2.6.32-21. After the GUI update and a reboot, "uname -a" shows the kernel as 2.32-22. So the GUI update did update the kernel | 23:30 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: Try "aptitude why-not <pkg>" where <pkg> is the name of the package being held back. | 23:30 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: OK, so if you've updated the kernel, why are you trying to re-update it from the command line? It has already been upgraded. | 23:31 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, its not there and I did ls ~/set<tab><tab><tab> and ls -A | 23:31 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, Thanks! Re-install 10.04 from scratch again and will try that CLI command. | 23:31 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: How do I get there on Xubuntu? | 23:31 |
| ubutom | sechs, well, could solve some problems | 23:31 |
| zap117 | is this the right place for installation help? | 23:31 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, well, glxinfo | grep OpenGL has to be ran on a terminal, it's somewhere under the app menu. | 23:31 |
| Vooloo | anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file? | 23:32 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, I'm just trying to understand why the first time I ran "sudo apt-get upgrade", it didn't download and install the new kernel, 2.6.32-22 | 23:32 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, and only after I use the GUI update, did the kernel got upgraded | 23:32 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: From the error message, it means that someone or something told apt "don't upgrade the kernel!". You can do that manually, or another program can say "I don't work with newer versions of the kernel, so don't upgrade it." | 23:33 |
| Serraphyn | JimmyNeutron, I think the kernel upgrades from commandline are require special setting to do. | 23:33 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: glxinfo | grep OpenGL brought up the info... Which do I need to find out what I'm running? | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | !pastebin | mmfb | 23:33 |
| ubottu | mmfb: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 23:33 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: I'm assuming the GUI just didn't tell you that the package was held, and it just upgraded it anyway. | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | Paste the info there. | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | and the link shoulds come here | 23:33 |
| Daekdroom | *should | 23:33 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, That's correct. The GUI didnt care and went ahead w/ the upgrade. | 23:33 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: But since you've already upgraded it, the information that would tell you what was really going on isn't there any more. | 23:33 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: So there probably isn't a good way to figure out now what happened. | 23:34 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: What do I do with !pastebin | mmfb? | 23:34 |
| WikkidByDesign | I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu 10.04 onto a Compaq Presario 6000. the cd keeps saying I/O error. When i install 8.10-9.10 it will install fine, but apt-get is always corrupted. Windows XP will install fine | 23:34 |
| JimmyNeutron | Serraphyn, Do you know what paramters needs to be pass to force the kernel upgrade from CLI? I'm using "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" | 23:34 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: JimmyNeutron: You don't need to do anything special at all. | 23:34 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, you don't do nothing with that, it's just that I used it so the bot would show you http://paste.ubuntu.com , which is where you should paste the output of glxinfo | grep OpenGL | 23:34 |
| Appl6 | Serraphyn: Do you need to run the installer as root? | 23:34 |
| sechs | ubutom, and if I install kubuntu? it will be easy to use like 10.04? | 23:35 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, I'm wiping out my install and starting over w/ a clean fresh install of 10.04. | 23:35 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, I think I found the answer, ia32-libs are not installed | 23:35 |
| Appl6 | JimmyNeutron: OK. I'd recommend using "aptitude" instead of "apt-get" for command line package management. | 23:36 |
| guntbert | !md5sum | WikkidByDesign did you check? | 23:36 |
| ubottu | WikkidByDesign did you check?: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 23:36 |
| ubutom | sechs, yep, though I don't know how different it is, haven't used kde in a while | 23:36 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448448/ | 23:36 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, that was the problem ia32-libs needed to be installed, works fine now | 23:37 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, uh oh. You're running on no hardware driver. | 23:37 |
| ubutom | sechs, and maybe you'll run into the same freeze problem, worth a try I would say | 23:37 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, do a lspci and pastebin it | 23:37 |
| JimmyNeutron | Appl6, Thanks! I'll look into it and see what are the diff between apt-get and apititude | 23:37 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, so we can find out which is your videocard | 23:37 |
| sechs | ubutom, im dammned with linux, then.... | 23:37 |

| gothenburg | :D | 23:40 |
| Serraphyn | Appl6, it works now just no sound and is there a way to run it in window mode? | 23:40 |
| gee | Appl6 Thanks for all your help mate :) mmfb Thanks for reminding me that there is a great FPS for linux :D | 23:40 |
| sechs | ubutom, i will try to reinstall all, if that doesnt works, i will install kubuntu. but that will wait to tomorrow. Thank you to everyone for the help really. See you soon! | 23:40 |
| gee | Serraphyn i aint got any sound either | 23:40 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, kk. Go to system > admin > Hardware drivers and check if it prompts you any driver is avaiable | 23:40 |
| mmfb | gee: Haha, glad to have "helped" all though it cause you a big headache. | 23:40 |
| mouse | If you set /home to another partition can that partition be ntfs? | 23:40 |
| gee | mmfb i remember buying the game from the shop when it came out lol...fond memories :P | 23:41 |
| Onepamopa | mouse it cant | 23:41 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: Two, both inactive. | 23:41 |
| gee | mmfb still have it somewhere actually lol | 23:41 |
| mouse | Onepamopa, It has to be ext2,3, or 4? | 23:41 |
| Onepamopa | mouse exactly | 23:41 |
| Onepamopa | btw, use 4 | 23:41 |
| Onepamopa | it gives best results | 23:41 |
| Onepamopa | ;) | 23:41 |
| gee | Bye everyone! | 23:41 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, which are they? | 23:41 |
| guntbert | mouse: not a good idea in any case | 23:41 |
| gothenburg | lol ntfs xD | 23:41 |
| === jesset is now known as rikkimaru | ||
| rikkimaru | is there a way I can run lucid on a vm on top of karmic? | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | ;) | 23:42 |
| mouse | Onepamopa, I was afraid of that. Why 4? | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | hello, i used /usr/sbin/useradd -m username to create 4 accounts, i have created a main user (which i am logged in with now and has Sudo access) and then i created 3 users by the name of the domain i am hosting under that acount (example.com) | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | mouse it's new, and it's fast | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | when i login to any of these "domain" user accts on my ssh | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | our servers used ext3 ... | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | untill 1 month ago | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | i get $ | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | now we use 4 | 23:42 |
| mouse | gothenburg, I only ask about ntfs cause windows can't read ext right? | 23:42 |
| Onepamopa | it's WAY faster | 23:42 |
| FloodBot4 | Onepamopa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | no user@server folder: | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | just $ | 23:42 |
| MeanEYE | rikkimaru, Yes... it's called VirtualBox | 23:42 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: where did you find that "it has to be ext.."? | 23:42 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: VNVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173) [Recommended] and NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 96) | 23:42 |
| rtronk1 | i edited .bashrc and added the same line i have for my username acct that gets username@home dir: | 23:43 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert well, do u use ntfs @ your linux box-es ? :) | 23:43 |
| rtronk1 | is it because the usernames for the domains have . in them? | 23:43 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, try installing the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver, restart your system and check if the performance improves. | 23:43 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, one second | 23:43 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, I'll check which version is better for your card | 23:43 |
| ubutom_ | rikkimaru, virtualbox | 23:43 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: Alright. | 23:43 |
| Deathspawn | Meh.. any way to make it so the my Wi-Fi doesn't shut off everytime I shut my laptop on battery? | 23:43 |
| rikkimaru | ubutom_, cool, i'll give it a shot | 23:43 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: no, I just said "not a good idea" - I only was curious because there is a difference between "not good" and "not possible" | 23:43 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, according to the nvidia website, 173 should work | 23:44 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, go for it, and good luck | 23:44 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert well, in any case - it's better to use the provided file systems | 23:44 |
| Onepamopa | than ntfs or something like that | 23:44 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: Thanks. I'll be back in a bit to update you. | 23:44 |
| Onepamopa | my guess is that he wants a partition that he can access via windows too .. | 23:44 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: ssh as one of those users, and 'echo $PS1' | 23:45 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: agreed :-) | 23:45 |
| Onepamopa | so... my question again .. | 23:45 |
| revygttam | Ive generated an RSA key on my ssh server and appended to available_keys on my local machine however it still only prompts for a password not my passphrase, any suggestions? | 23:45 |
| rtronk1 | line 1$ echo $PS1 line 2 $ line | 23:45 |
| Onepamopa | anyone knows a good proxy detection tool ? | 23:45 |
| Onepamopa | bash, java... etc ? | 23:46 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: type: PS1='\u@\h:\w:\$ ' | 23:46 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: what do you mean my "proxy detection tool" ? | 23:46 |
| no-name | what are the main practical differences between ext2 and ext4? | 23:46 |
| mouse | ext3 =P | 23:47 |
| no-name | :P | 23:47 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert a tool that will help be ban all proxy ip's that are connected/connecting to my server | 23:47 |
| rtronk1 | \u@\h:\w:$ | 23:47 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: that's what you see? | 23:47 |
| rtronk1 | ya | 23:47 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: echo $SHELL | 23:47 |
| MeanEYE | no-name, speed :D ... | 23:48 |
| rtronk1 | /bin/sh | 23:48 |
| MeanEYE | no-name, encryptions and lots of other things | 23:48 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: make the user's shell /bin/bash | 23:48 |
| MeanEYE | :D | 23:48 |
| rtronk1 | how do i do that? | 23:48 |
| rtronk1 | lemme google first | 23:48 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: one way is to (carefully) edit it in /etc/passwd | 23:48 |
| no-name | MeanEYE: which is faster? | 23:48 |
| MeanEYE | no-name, ext4 | 23:49 |
| no-name | k thanks MeanEYE | 23:49 |

| Guest81780 | choonming = groooming ? | 23:49 |
| Chak82 | can someone help me to make works gnome-art under 10.04? | 23:49 |
| rtronk1 | prince_jammys: i am a complete newb to this, i was lucky enuff to get this going as it is now, (mysql/php/apache2/phpmyadmin and configured /working:() | 23:49 |
| rtronk1 | any chance you could tell me a easy way to do it with no risk of fking somehting up | 23:50 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: I guess you mean "open proxies"; the usual way is to ask some sort of RBL | 23:50 |
| no-name | mouse: hold a gun to bill gates head and tell him to add ext support to windows | 23:50 |
| Vooloo | anyone have a script that parses iptables log and rewrites into human readable form in another log file? | 23:50 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: Runs perfectly! Thank you SO much. | 23:50 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: you may configure the user's shell in /etc/default/useradd (and re-create the users), or edit the current ones by (carefully) editing the user's lines in /etc/passwd | 23:50 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, no problem | 23:50 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert I want to be able to scan them via defined ports | 23:51 |
| Onepamopa | but... hm | 23:51 |
| prince_jammys | rtronk1: in the future, use the 'adduser' command, which is easier than 'useradd'. | 23:51 |
| mouse | no-name, If I was going to go that far I would tell him to make windows open source. | 23:51 |
| no-name | hehehe | 23:51 |
| mmfb | gee: Got it to work with the help of Daekdroom, man. Wanna play a couple rounds? | 23:51 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: no way - they behave like normal browsers - but you could ask in ##networking (I never tried that) | 23:52 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert I'm not talking about detecting proxy @ apache ... ;) | 23:52 |
| Onepamopa | I already have a way of doing it | 23:52 |
| * Guest81780 hey mouse you watch out for big cats | 23:52 | |
| Onepamopa | but I cant do the same for the other stuff @ our server | 23:52 |

| * mouse is the mouse that ate the cat. | 23:53 | |
| Onepamopa | mouse it depends on the cat ;) | 23:53 |
| mouse | lol very true. | 23:53 |
| guntbert | Onepamopa: then I must pass, you obvioulsy know more than I do - try ##networking | 23:53 |
| Guest81780 | oh then you must the rat in mouse clothing | 23:53 |
| Onepamopa | guntbert my question isnt related to networking in general .... | 23:54 |

| mouse | liam_wullfin, Do you mean it's still in the menu? | 23:55 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: What about programs for Linux that are on Add/Remove Applications? | 23:55 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, those should vanish normally. | 23:56 |

| Daekdroom | mmfb, ah, no idea. | 23:56 |
| Daekdroom | mmfb, not being there is too vague. | 23:56 |
| mmfb | Daekdroom: Maybe just delete the containing folders? | 23:56 |
| liam_wullfin | Mouse I make the program recite text ... but I need an audio file of the sounds. | 23:56 |

I installed Flash 10.1 32 bit on my 64 bit system using "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture install_flash_player_10_linux.deb", and it didn't seem to work. When I go to remove it, it's not showing up in Synaptic, but I see it as "adobe-flashplugin" when I do a dpkg -l.

| mouse | liam_wullfin, Oh sorry read wrong name. However if you want to do what I think you want, what I did was connect an audio wire from speakers right back into mic port and used audocity to record. | 23:58 |
| mmfb | One more question before I to play around on here... I'm using a headset, but for some reason I can't alter the sound by using the sound adjusting thingy on Linux. I have to use the wheel on the cord. How can I change that? | 23:59 |

Is there a program which just clone the directory the first time (no compression) and then the next time just clone de differences?
