It has 150 tons of air conditioning that maintains all equipment running at normal temperatures. It also has a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) that mantains a 30 minute full load battery backup that protects all the computer systems in the event of [00:03] a power failure or power spike. Their is also a 1500 KVW generator that will support the Data Center in a prolonged outage if necessary. [00:04] fuck yeahhhh [00:04] all pressurized as well [00:04] paultag: what does the company do?

[00:14] ta [00:15] collinp: next time you need to change it go to the header page and just change the time [00:15] collinp: need a link for the time converter? [00:15] that looks familiar zkriesse .... [00:15] collinp: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html is what you use [00:15] paultag: hmm? [00:16] I've seen that header before [00:16] hummmm [00:16] ah [00:16] no matter [00:16] looks great [00:18] awwwwww [00:18] LOL [00:18] lol [00:18] * zkriesse wants ops too!

[00:23] welcome nuboon2age [00:24] can haz opz? :) lolz === nuboon2age_ is now known as nUboon2Age [00:45] Say, might anyone be able to help me with a quick xorg.conf question...? [00:46] enderandpeter: I may be able to help [00:46] enderandpeter: Also, is your name a reference to the Wiggin brothers? [00:46] Specifically, someone gave me an alternate configuration, and I'm quite the novice and I don't know how to implement it. I'm using Lucid on a PPC. And yes, it's a reference to the Wiggin brothers. [00:48] They're two peas in a pod, if you ask me. But anyway, I read in an Ubuntu guide that post 9.04 versions keep X config info in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d There's no xorg.conf file in there at the moment. If I create the file there, will my computer adhere to it when I reboot? [00:49] autopsy: anyone know how to install kernel-source in ubuntu [00:50] sorry bout the name there [00:50] i tried linux-kernel-headers alread [00:50] y [00:51] enderandpeter: As far as I know, creating an xorg.conf will override any of the modular settings in xorg.conf.d. [00:51] stlsaint: You mean the Linux kernel source? [00:51] stlsaint: apt-get source linux-kernel ? [00:52] I see. So I should create this new xorg.conf in the xorg.conf.d directory? [00:56] enderandpeter: To generate an xorg.conf file, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:01] Well... in my haste I went ahead and just made the xorg.conf file in the xorg.conf.d directory, and now Ubuntu starts up in command line mode... That's a step up from it previously not displaying anything after booting... [01:01] enderandpeter: command-line doesn't utilize xorg.... [01:03] Indeed. It appears that X now doesn't want to starting or something... Perhaps it didn't like the conf file? [01:04] enderandpeter: it should just be in /X11, not /X11/xorg.conf.d [01:08] Okay... I will move the xorg.conf file up a directory, restart, and see what happens... [01:12] just purchased a hp 4500 print,fax,copy and scan d/l drivers and not printing test page successfully [01:13] marine1: do you know what driver it is using? [01:14] ddecator: how do I tell [01:15] ddecator: it located the drivers when I installed the usb cable and I just followed the instructions.. [01:15] marine1: do you have hplip installed? [01:16] ddecator: not sure [01:17] ddecator: i don't think so [01:18] marine1: try running 'sudo apt-get install hplip' in a terminal. if it's already installed, it will tell you [01:19] ddecator: hplip is already the newest version. [01:19] ok, so that's a good start [01:20] marine1: when you try to print a test page, do you get any errors? [01:20] ddecator: no the pop-up says the test page is finished printing and nothing printed [01:21] hm, i know i've run into that before, but i can't remember what the issue was exactly. can you try unplugging the printer from the USB, turning the printer off, then plugging the USB back in, turning the printer on, and try again? (it's crazy, but sometimes this works) [01:23] ddecator: let me give it awhirl [01:23] whirl [01:26] aveilleux: Okay. Now Ubuntu wants to load in low graphics mode. It seems that it can't find the nouveau driver I was asked to use. I posted my issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1507389 by the way, if you'd like to see more details of the error message. [01:27] enderandpeter: are you able to use the proprietary nvidia drivers? [01:28] ddecator: that's a big negative [01:28] marine1: hm, i hoped we would get lucky, haha. ok, let me check something real quick [01:29] ddecator: it's set as my default printer [01:29] ddecator: I am not sure. I didn't think nvidia made drivers for linux... I've been using what comes with Ubuntu. Whatever it was using when it first rebooted after installation was fine... [01:30] marine1: ok, go to System > Administration > Printing, right-click the printer and select Properties, then look at Make and Model. the driver you are using should be after the name of the printer (hpijs for me). can you let me know what it says for you? [01:31] enderandpeter: you are using generic drivers, you should install the proprietary drivers [01:31] enderandpeter: nvidia has proprietary drivers for ubuntu but they cannot be included by default, are you able to boot into a graphical environment with all of the menus? [01:32] ddecator: that was one of the recommended drivers for this(hpijs) but it recommended this one:HP Color LaserJet 4500 v2014.200 Postscript (recommended) [01:33] ddecator: At the moment I am not. You should check out the history of my issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1507389 only because it's too much to type here. Originally, after Ubuntu booted a second time after installation, it would show nothing. Since I was given this custom xorg.conf, it has at least shown me this error. [01:34] ddecator: I can change the driver, there are several more options including to that have cups and the ppd is generated for those [01:34] hm, i don't have that driver (but i don't have a printer with faxing). try clicking 'Change...' and going through the setup. select HP, then the model, then let me know what drivers you have to choose from [01:35] enderandpeter: alright, i'll take a look at the forums. i'm not great with graphics issues, but i'll see if i can come up with any ideas [01:36] drubin: ping [01:36] ddecator: Hey. Any help is immensely appreciated!! [01:36] ddecator: here are some that are listed: hp color laserjet hpjis(en) [01:37] ddecator: hp color laserjet 4500 cups+gutenprint v5.2.3 (en) [01:38] ddecator: hp colr laserjet 4500 foomatic/postscript(en) and 4500 foomatic/pxlcolor (en) [01:40] marine1: if those are all of them, try hpjis (that's what i've had the most success with) [01:40] enderandpeter: i replied to your thread [01:40] and subscribed [01:41] * ddecator wishes we lived in a world that didn't need printers [01:44] ddecator: Well, I went ahead and started in low graphics mode, and it doesn't look any different at all. Also, I went to the Ubuntu Software Center, searched for "nouveau" and found a "nouveau-firmware" program to install. Now stlsaint suggests I indeed use proprietary drivers. I would totally prefer that. I'm looking at nvidia's site for my video card... [01:45] enderandpeter: if you have a graphical environment, go to System > Adminisration > Hardware Drivers. that will find them automatically [01:45] ddecator: Yes, I saw! Thank you, sir! I suppose it might be a little faster to talk here, so I'll hang out here for the moment. Let me go there and see if it finds any proprietary drivers... [01:46] enderandpeter: sounds good :) [01:46] ddecator: changing drivers did not work it shows completed in the queue but it's not printing [01:47] dang.. [01:47] i also noticed the pop-up notification did not appear when I printed a test page [01:48] marine1: one option that has worked for me is to unplug the printer, go to System > Administration > Printing, delete the printer from there, then plug it back in and go through the setup. sometimes something gets corrupted and doing a fresh setup works [01:51] ddecator: doing it now [01:52] ddecator: What shuld be the first step after that [01:53] marine1: after the setup, try printing something :) [01:53] ddecator: no I meant adding it [01:54] marine1: after deleting the printer? just plug in the printer to the USB with it turned on and it should automatically go through the setup again [01:55] ddecator: Okay, I used the hardware drivers utility and all it locates is the Broadcom driver for my Airport card (which totally works by the way!!!). Looking at nvida's site, I can't find the driver for a GeForce4 440 Go. So for now, I will install the nouveau-firmware program and see what happens... [01:55] ddecator:... as it would appear the X is working fine, other than the error message of not finding nouveau when I boot up... [01:56] enderandpeter: that's odd, i have a GeForce, but it's a newer model.. [01:57] ddecator: should it be here:parallel:/dev/lp0 [01:58] ddecator: that is the device URI: [01:58] that's strange, mine points right to the usb.. [01:58] ddecator: i also tried printing a test page and it says processing [01:59] ddecator: You also have a Powerbook G4? Perhaps it's a nicer one :) [02:00] marine1: with the printer plugged into the USB and turned on, click 'Change...' next to the URI and see if it lists the printer as one of the devices [02:01] enderandpeter: no, i have an hp pavilion laptop :) [02:01] ddecator: it did and I changed it accordingly and the mystery still exists [02:01] marine1: and it still shows the job as being done? [02:04] ddecator: it shows the job printing but it doesn't print [02:04] ddecator: plus it's my default printer [02:05] ddecator: x-sane can't find the scanner either??? [02:06] marine1: unfortunately i'm out of suggestions at this point. you could try the other drives, but i'm not sure how much luck you'll have :/ [02:07] ddecator: thanks buddy is there anyone else with printer experience on here or could you direct me to another channel [02:08] marine1: you can try #ubuntu, otherwise someone else here with more experience with printers may get on later [02:09] let me try that [02:10] All of my printers are networked, but when this happened to me, a reboot was all I needed.

[06:04] hey sabqat9 [06:05] i started doing tasks in the command line [06:05] on my desktop box [06:05] really ANY task [06:05] i would google, ripping CD command line ubuntu [06:05] or something like that [06:06] and just start trying to do things over there [06:06] i got a server box running, and i ssh to it and update it or whatever [06:06] its running an icecast server [06:06] I learned - learn - as I go. [06:06] i really dont mess with it much now that its up [06:07] my trouble is i am a newbie at linux and ubuntu and the command line is really scaring me [06:07] sabqat9: do you have test equimpment? [06:07] or virtualbox? [06:07] or another VM? [06:08] your going ot make some mistakes [06:08] and thats cool [06:08] but its nothing to be scared of [06:08] what do you want a server for? [06:08] what tasks? [06:10] You really shouldn't be touching servers in the first place unless you know how to administrate one effectively. [06:10] but, if its a local file server [06:11] or print server or something [06:11] that would be OK to play with [06:11] to learn [06:11] dont you think? [06:11] it will be just a simple file server for two people - two computers - with windows in both [06:11] Aye. But this person has absolutely no experience with the CLI at all. I would think running a server would be a little advanced for that. [06:12] Yeah, after using the CLI for a while, you could try a local server or something similar. [06:13] sabqat9: i learned a lot from using freeNAS [06:13] that would do what you talking about [06:14] and its got a web-gui [06:14] There's also samba. [06:14] sambe on a desktop box would work even [06:14] for a newbie with little linux experience - actually no linux experience - would tinkering with freenas be the way to go then [06:15] sabqat9: the best way to go is to learn on your current machine using cli... [06:15] samba* ^^ [06:15] sabqat9: start small with learning to get into different directorys, moving files, copying files etc [06:16] what is your suggestion for setting up a samba box - are there any straight forward ways of doing this [06:17] yea get a old desktop somewhere/throw linux on it and samba and start learning... [06:17] there are guides (quite alot actually) for samba setup [06:17] https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html [06:18] There's also this, but it seems more complex than is necessary: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba [06:19] the thing is - i only have three computer boxes and two monitors - i don't exactly have extra cash to throw around - so i wanted to setup two office computers for word processing, email and web and be able to access a headless file server that could store all my work files [06:20] sabqat9: right, hence i said use on old desktop system for home server [06:20] sabqat9: throw an extra hdd or two in it and you should be fine...you may need to restart every once in awhile but thats no big deal since its not a big production server [06:21] night all [06:22]
