| switchgirl | anyone else noticed that bbc are fading out on real media streams? http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/radiolabs/2009/10/realmedia_an_update.shtml it's a shame as i enjoyed listening to the streams from rhythmbox - the only option is wma and that's unsupported in Linux - how can i play wma | 00:01 |
| stucki_b | switchgirl: I'd try e.g. 'vlc' | 00:03 |
| switchgirl | stucki_b, still unsupported | 00:03 |
| Euthanatos | I have a seemingly absurd problem I've never encountered before ever. When clicking on a text box it often does not initialize typing into that window even though I see a cursor. I JUST now noticed that (Despite seeing the bnlinking cursor in the RIGHT text box) it typed into the wrong box while it SHOULD be typing in another. Specifically it input to xchat while it should be inputing to a text box in chrome. Is this known? | 00:04 |
| Euthanatos | [Lucid64] | 00:04 |
| Euthanatos | switchgirl, i doubt wma will ever be offically supported...like wine | 00:05 |
| nUboon2Age | stucki_b: so if you do 'lspci | grep raphics' what does it say? | 00:06 |
| switchgirl | Euthanatos, i want and need anyway of listening to wma radio | 00:06 |

| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VX800/VX820 Chrome 9 HC3 Integrated Graphics (rev 11) | 00:08 |
| Euthanatos | switchgirl, not that i can helpyou, but what radio are you listening to that is using outdated, high bandwidth, proprietary protocols? | 00:09 |
| Neliell | Î_î | 00:09 |
| switchgirl | bbc radio 4 - used to play perfectly in rhythmbox | 00:09 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi, can anyone tell me if the software center sorts search results by popularity? | 00:10 |
| Euthanatos | oh bbc.....sad that that actually makes sense | 00:10 |
| acerimmer | VvWolverinevV: dont' think so | 00:10 |
| nUboon2Age | switchgirl: Don't know if this helps but according to some web discussion mplayer and Xine can play wma. | 00:10 |
| VvWolverinevV | thanks acerimmer | 00:10 |
| Euthanatos | ill test it | 00:10 |
| imprint | I keep getting error trying to configure rackarrack, and the same with jack, what to do? | 00:11 |
| VvWolverinevV | can anyone tell me how to revert to add/remove programs instead of software center then?? | 00:11 |
| acerimmer | VvWolverinevV: sudo apt-get remove or apt-get install packagename | 00:11 |
| VvWolverinevV | acerimmer: okay, do you know the package name for "add/remove programs" | 00:13 |
| Euthanatos | switchgirl, comes in fine through chrome for me =/ | 00:13 |
| nUboon2Age | switchgirl: but might need their proprietary codecs installed... (hope that info is correct/helpful) | 00:13 |
| switchgirl | Euthanatos, mplayer says no, vlc and rhythmbox the same :s | 00:14 |
| acerimmer | VvWolverinevV: really software center is where you should start. Then synaptic package manager. but if you INSIST on using the command line, first find the package name you're after and then use it with your apt-get command. Be aware, if you don't know what you're doing you could break your system. just sayin'... | 00:14 |
| Euthanatos | switchgirl, i'm running it out of flash and chrome | 00:15 |
| Euthanatos | is there something about this option that doesn't work fo royu? | 00:15 |
| Euthanatos | i imagine FF would handle it just fine too | 00:15 |
| VvWolverinevV | acerimmer: thanks but i think you are misunderstanding my question; i would like to use the "add/remove programs" GUI instead of the software center GUI | 00:15 |
| duffydack | switchgirl, dont the bbc radios play from the browser ? | 00:16 |
| Euthanatos | duffydack, that's what I'm doing | 00:16 |
| VvWolverinevV | acerimmer: for the sole purpose of sorting search results by popularity | 00:16 |
| Euthanatos | comes in fine with flash browser plugin | 00:16 |
| Euthanatos | not that i can understand a single british word | 00:16 |

| marko_ | Is anyone having problems with Compiz and 3D games? I wrote a little workaround script that needs testing... | 00:16 |
| switchgirl | duffydack, yes but i want to use it as a relaibale alarm clock- flash has in the past bricked randomly | 00:17 |
| duffydack | Euthanatos, switchgirl works for me... | 00:17 |
| Euthanatos | which is odd because I can clearly understand Sir Hunphrey says =/ lol | 00:17 |
| duffydack | switchgirl, buy an alarm clock lol | 00:17 |
| VvWolverinevV | acerimmer: do you know what i mean when i say add/remove programs GUI? the one that came with ubuntu 9.04 and earlier | 00:17 |
| Euthanatos | Yeah duffydack seems fine to me here too | 00:18 |

| drippinggutters | Runnin' Lucid, intel 845, stock drivers are crashy, xorg/kms both fail to properly detect this Dell P780's resolutions/refresh, but that would normally be overrideable; using xorg-edgers fixes the crashing, but the newer intel drivers require kms... and I can't override that, so what do? | 00:19 |
| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: yes, lspci is same thing, but no segfault :-) X11 is running fine! BUT it is NOT running as 'via', but as 'vesa'. And the Mode of the text-consoles collide with it. | 00:20 |
| shiba_ | hey, i have a question about Ubuntu Netbook remix, if any one can help. | 00:23 |
| drippinggutters | Should I file a bug? Using what summary? :/ | 00:23 |
| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: and b.t.w, all setups in xorg.conf (those I had from the old system) do crash because of missing 'via'. Only *empty* xorg.conf *works* (so the xorg-server finds out alone, but disagrees with the kernel and framebuffer I think) | 00:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Yo yo yo | 00:23 |

| nUboon2Age | stucki_b: there is some info about trouble w/ the openchrome driver. And here is a suggested solution... | 00:24 |
| shiba_ | is there a set of themes for Netbook remix on synaptic manager? | 00:24 |
| booleancat | Hmm... I'm having some issues with multiple monitors. When I plug my laptop into my docking station, it correctly moves the display to the dual-monitor setup attached to the docking station, but they're cloned and not extended. Any way to make it automatically extend? | 00:26 |
| demifuror | hi guys, does anyone have an easy guide to follow on how to make a disk mount automaticallt at startup? | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | Shiba_: not that I'm aware of. If you install tinymenu and liquifox you can make firefox thinner (assuming you use firefox) | 00:26 |
| stucki_b | switchgirl: where do you get 'wma' ? (inside the flasplayer is see on bbc?) | 00:26 |
| duffydack | switchgirl, I cant seem to get rhythmbox to play it.. how are you setting this 'alarm' | 00:26 |
| ActionParsnip | !fstab | demifuror | 00:26 |

| booleancat | switch10: Yes | 00:28 |
| imprint | how do you configure the rakarrack guitar program to run? | 00:28 |
| ActionParsnip | Shiba_: you can install globalmenu. It makes the file, edit etc menus go into the top bar | 00:28 |
| switch10 | booleancat: compiz has a max res that will mess with dual monitors set up side by side. try stacking them... | 00:28 |

| shiba_ | i was looking for something like that. | 00:29 |
| booleancat | switch10: ? so, why can I *manually* set it to extended desktop and it just works? All I want is for it to be automatic instead of manual | 00:29 |
| Alexanda91 | I have a ATI Radeon 48xx is that close enough ? | 00:29 |
| shiba_ | :3 i like to see my background without menus all over the place | 00:29 |

| risperdal | i have a lot of problems my ati radeon 4650 | 00:29 |
| Alexanda91 | what kind | 00:29 |
| switch10 | booleancat: I thought you could not get it at all. nevermind | 00:30 |
| duffydack | switchgirl, try browser with http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_fourfm as url | 00:30 |
| risperdal | firstly, when booting ubuntu | 00:30 |
| booleancat | Nope, I just want it to automatically do an extended desktop instead of a clone | 00:30 |
| ActionParsnip | Shiba_: it replaces the windows list on the bar too, makes everything a lot more compacted | 00:30 |
| Alexanda91 | does it seem glitchy, risperdal? | 00:30 |
| risperdal | sorry my english is not good. i m thinking how i can explain that problems | 00:31 |
| risperdal | when i booting ubuntu | 00:31 |
| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: wekk, That problem I had in the *previous* setup. *NOW* the X11-Resoliton is OK! But switsching away from X11 or during shutdownthe text-consoles show snow. So X11 has it right, but the boot/kernel/framebuffer/console-setup has the problem. | 00:31 |
| risperdal | just few moments its black screen | 00:31 |
| shiba_ | is it "Global"? | 00:31 |
| risperdal | and get back to normal | 00:31 |
| risperdal | : / | 00:31 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: That is a problem with the ATI graphics drivers | 00:31 |
| ActionParsnip | Shiba_: it manages all apps on all desktops so I guess so | 00:31 |
| risperdal | Alexanda91: is there anythink that i can do to solve this | 00:32 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: There is no way of fixing since they're not open source. So it's all on AMD to fix the problem. | 00:32 |
| risperdal | ati doesnt support enough linux | 00:32 |
| risperdal | :( | 00:32 |
| Alexanda91 | I have the same problem | 00:32 |
| ActionParsnip | Risperdal: its why I only buy nvidia | 00:32 |
| Alexanda91 | doesn't bother me to much | 00:33 |
| shiba_ | trying to figure out what it's called under synaptic... | 00:33 |
| risperdal | i will buy nvida as soon as | 00:33 |

| risperdal | its like | 00:33 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal, Tearing? | 00:33 |
| bodzilla | generally with ati the generic driver works | 00:33 |
| risperdal | its like | 00:33 |
| risperdal | tearing | 00:33 |
| risperdal | yes | 00:33 |
| risperdal | its very booring to me:D | 00:34 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: yea I have that problem as well. | 00:34 |
| risperdal | :/ | 00:34 |
| risperdal | i think we should buy nvida | 00:34 |
| risperdal | :D | 00:34 |
| rohitabho | #kernel | 00:34 |
| duffydack | the opensource driver has no tearing, only the proprietary one.. | 00:34 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: Although I've minimized the problem by setting the refresh rate and enabling triple buffer | 00:34 |
| foo_fighter | https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc ..... take a look at this...that's the difference between the first ppa and the others? could anyone help? | 00:34 |

| ActionParsnip | Oren: packages.ubuntu.com | 00:36 |
| foo_fighter | could anyone help me with ppa? | 00:36 |
| risperdal | you mean xorg.conf | 00:36 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: You have to install the compiz settings manager | 00:36 |
| booleancat | Bah! Why is it so hard to save my extended desktop settings? All I want is for the monitors to NOT be cloned. | 00:36 |
| ActionParsnip | Oren: you will need to download the deps too | 00:36 |
| risperdal | Alexanda: i have compiz settings manager | 00:36 |
| tobiasz | why is Ubuntu still unable to go with flashplayer as good as Kubuntu does? | 00:36 |
| risperdal | alexanda: what did you mean enabling tripple buffer | 00:37 |

| duffydack | Ive also heard unticking detect outputs and detect refresh and setting them manually also helps for vsync | 00:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Tobiasz: one is an onboard nvidia 6150 512mb. The other is an intel onboard 945 POS | 00:38 |
| ubutom | uski, because the average joe doesn't know about 32 and 64 bit and will get angry if installing 64 bit and it doesn'T work, 32 bit works on 64 bit systems, but the other way around not. | 00:38 |
| uski | ActionParsnip, thanks | 00:39 |
| tobiasz | ActionParsnip I don't believe it goes flawlessly for you :P | 00:39 |
| risperdal | alexanda: i enabled it. btw there is a refresh rate option which is already set 50 hz . should i set it to higher? | 00:39 |
| tobiasz | ActionParsnip fullscreen controls must be lagged | 00:39 |
| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: Plymouth? I googled it and it definitely looks like a candidate for the problem ... ! | 00:39 |
| uski | ubutom, well they could write "Make sure you have a 64-bit system"; the way it's written makes people feel like 64-bits is less stable and I'm not sure it's the case | 00:39 |

| risperdal | alexanda : uh , my catalyst center is broken. how can i do this alternative method? | 00:43 |
| switch10 | dwuhis: you can do it through synaptic, but you should leave at least 1 old kernel in case you need to go back... | 00:43 |
| bodzilla | dwuhis you want at least 2 kernel sets, backup kernel is the standard method | 00:44 |
| slimjimflim | connermcd: it's not flash, flash worked before | 00:44 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: You'll have to reinstall it | 00:44 |

| lyrae | connermcd, running linux 32 bit then? | 00:45 |
| connermcd | foo_fighter depending on your version of ubuntu... this is assuming you're using lucid | 00:45 |
| Alexanda91 | risperdal: Hope it works for you! It solved my problem | 00:45 |
| risperdal | alexanda: i will reinstall catalyst. i hope it help me | 00:45 |
| connermcd | lyrae yes | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | oren: You're welcome. | 00:45 |

| bodzilla | foo_fighter are you just trying to get the latest vlc | 00:46 |
| risperdal | again thanks very much | 00:46 |
| foo_fighter | yes bodzilla | 00:46 |
| switch10 | dwuhis: you can use startupmanager to remove entries from the grub list | 00:46 |
| connermcd | slimjimflim might look at the link from lyrae | 00:46 |

| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: Plymouth ... switching it off (kernel line with 'noplymouth') does NOT change it (only the splashscreen correctly goes away. | 00:46 |
| slimjimflim | connermcd: ffs this has nothing to do with flash | 00:46 |
| foo_fighter | bodzilla: could you come prive to tell you my problem? | 00:46 |
| slimjimflim | for the 4th time | 00:46 |
| bodzilla | foo_fighter vlc always has worked whether from synaptic or appa it is well supported | 00:46 |
| slimjimflim | i told you | 00:46 |
| connermcd | slimjimflim well you said when you watch youtube... then I suggested graphics settings | 00:47 |
| dwuhis | switch10, i installed startupmanager ubt i only have a drop downlist of items, dont see a way of removing them | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | connermcd: no, that's just an example | 00:47 |
| connermcd | slimjimflim I mean you're welcome to cuss me out but I'm not gonna try to help you | 00:47 |
| IdleOne | !attitude | slimjimflim | 00:47 |
| ubottu | slimjimflim: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | it happens when i use any audio | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | sorry | 00:47 |
| connermcd | slimjimflim Ah, I see | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | i'm just really frustrated right noww | 00:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Dwuhis: if you remove unnecessary kernels it will tidy up grub for you | 00:47 |
| slimjimflim | and #jack can't help me either | 00:47 |
| bodzilla | dwuhis startup manager is okay but additional kernesl will move and the line start wont | 00:47 |

| connermcd | slimjimflim have you looked at the jack config wiki? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration | 00:48 |
| Phil2010 | I fixed my res proplem. | 00:49 |
| slimjimflim | nope | 00:49 |
| Phil2010 | problem** | 00:49 |
| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: So if Plymouth is out of the picture, it can only be the framebuffer defined in the kernel/initramfs that says: vga16fb: initializing // fb0: VGA16 VGA frame buffer device // Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30. | 00:49 |
| slimjimflim | connermcd: yea it says to run qjackctl | 00:49 |
| Phil2010 | It was my integrated video being to crappy to upscale with Openchrome - 16:9 It works perfectly with my CRT. | 00:49 |
| slimjimflim | connermcd: qjackctl is what is causing the problem in the first place | 00:49 |
| slimjimflim | i can't open it | 00:49 |
| slimjimflim | it crashes | 00:49 |
| Alloeishus | does anybody know of a ubuntu program that I can create/print paystubs/ | 00:50 |

| stucki_b | nUboon2Age: May be, the framebuffer, as it is configured, forces the card to 800x600 on the (really)800x480 Screen. THAT was happening to older X11-Drivers. The Chipset knows such a resolution, but has problems to shrik it onto the smaller screen. | 00:51 |

| slimjimflim | Jupdown: it's not that the card doesn't work though | 00:56 |
| slimjimflim | the card is fine | 00:56 |
| Jupdown | so what is your issue? | 00:56 |
| slimjimflim | it's jack that screwed up my pulseaudio i think | 00:56 |
| slimjimflim | i have no sound | 00:56 |
| slimjimflim | i can't open any audio app | 00:56 |
| Jupdown | ....? | 00:56 |
| Jupdown | like you cant open the volume control? | 00:56 |
| slimjimflim | right | 00:56 |
| Vigo | ActionParsnip: That is the affected one, I think, I guess I will fetch the rc and RYO it. | 00:56 |

| JackWaugh | What's a "ppa"? | 01:10 |
| Daekdroom | Personal Package Archive, JackWaugh | 01:10 |
| Daekdroom | It's a Launchpad feature that allows you to have your own repositories. | 01:10 |
| JackWaugh | Oh. | 01:10 |
| switch10 | j800r: no. you could install a program that will dock any program, but it makes a new icon, it doesn't use the existing messaging icon | 01:10 |

| ubottu | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. | 01:11 |
| foo_fighter | Daekdroom: the link is here ---> https://launchpad.net/~c-korn/+archive/vlc | 01:11 |
| Daekdroom | foo_fighter, not necessarily. If you add the PPA with add-apt-repository, it'll automatically get you the key. | 01:11 |

| foo_fighter | ok Daekdroom | 01:12 |

| Daekdroom | No problem. | 01:12 |

| seb_ | j800r: radeon x1250 | 01:18 |
| j800r | ahhh | 01:18 |
| JackWaugh | wardemocha: yes. | 01:18 |
| j800r | ATI | 01:18 |
| wardedmocha | ok tnaks | 01:19 |
| seb_ | j800r: yep | 01:19 |
| wardedmocha | how do you use wine | 01:19 |
| j800r | ATI cards are often troublesome in Linux | 01:19 |
| seb_ | j800r: i know | 01:19 |
| j800r | wardedmocha, what do you need Wine for? gaming? | 01:19 |
| JoeTheGuest | http://www.pcworld.com/article/198686/linux_trojan_raises_malware_concerns.html ahhhhhh!!! | 01:19 |
| wardedmocha | itunes and google chrome | 01:19 |
| JackWaugh | histo: Is it the case that the bigger the page is, the longer it takes to fetch? | 01:19 |
| histo | JackWaugh: for example break.com took 16 seconds to load on the linux box. Takes 2 seconds on the windows box right next to me | 01:19 |
| j800r | no you don't | 01:19 |
| wardedmocha | and yes a game | 01:19 |
| BluesKaj | j800r, no i installed chromium from the repos and it's not acting properly , I can't edit my igoogle home page gadgets | 01:19 |
| histo | JackWaugh: nah they all seem to take about 10-15 seconds | 01:20 |
| JackWaugh | histo: Try timing it with "curl". That will take the browser out of the picture. | 01:20 |
| JoeTheGuest | http://www.pcworld.com/article/198686/linux_trojan_raises_malware_concerns.html ahhhhhhhh the world is ending | 01:20 |
| j800r | wardedmocha, install chromium browser from the ubuntu repos, and use rhythmbox to replace iTunes | 01:20 |
| soreau | seb_: That gpu is not currently supported by any proprietary driver. The radeon driver should already be working OOTB | 01:20 |
| wardedmocha | what about the game | 01:20 |
| soreau | seb_: More specifically, fglrx dropped support for that card over a year ago | 01:20 |
| j800r | well then yes, i'd recommend Wine or Play On Linux | 01:20 |
| seb_ | soreau: why? | 01:21 |
| histo | JackWaugh: installing it now | 01:21 |
| j800r | but check the Wine DB first for compatibility issues | 01:21 |
| slimjimflim | i'm trying to do this: b/c jack broke my audio | 01:21 |
| soreau | seb_: I have no idea. | 01:21 |
| wardedmocha | can i use chromium and ubuntu at the same time? | 01:21 |
| slimjimflim | Be aware though automatically starting JACK can cause the daemon (jackd) and/or the GUI (qjackctl) to crash/freeze if device settings change between two sessions (for example, a USB soundcard can get different device numbers across sessions). If so, set the appropriate entry (autolaunch) to 0 in the ~/.jackdrc file, qjackctl should work again. | 01:21 |
| histo | JackWaugh: usage on curl? | 01:21 |
| JackWaugh | histo: This all sounds strange. I'm trying to imagine what part of the process takes a fixed amount of time regardless of the file size, but isn't the DNS lookup. Making the initial http: connection, maybe. | 01:21 |
| slimjimflim | but i can't find the autolaunch variable in that file | 01:21 |
| j800r | wardedmocha, chromium is ON ubuntu. and it's an alternative to google chrome. basically the open source version | 01:21 |
| seb_ | soreau: i just can't get my control center going | 01:21 |
| slimjimflim | anybody know how to fix this? | 01:21 |
| wardedmocha | how would i go about getting that | 01:21 |
| j800r | you'll notice virtually no difference. even addons are still installed | 01:21 |
| j800r | wardedmocha, two choices | 01:22 |
| JackWaugh | histo: curl an_url >output_file | 01:22 |
| histo | JackWaugh: thats what it looks like each connection takes a while | 01:22 |
| seb_ | soreau: and the acceleration is obviously not working well | 01:22 |
| soreau | seb_: The control center is part of the proprietary driver and cannot be used with your card | 01:22 |
| j800r | in terminal " apt-get install chromium-browser" | 01:22 |
| demifuror | can someone please help with the issue ive mentioned above? | 01:22 |
| soreau | seb_: What 3D isn't working well? | 01:22 |
| j800r | or search for it in software manager | 01:22 |
| JackWaugh | histo: time curl an_url >/dev/null | 01:22 |
| j800r | of course, this is assuming you're running Ubuntu 10.04 | 01:22 |
| seb_ | soreau: what about if i use the driver they give on the ati site | 01:22 |
| === ariel is now known as Guest16529 | ||
| wardedmocha | and that will just install google chrome basically | 01:22 |
| j800r | well, kinda. | 01:23 |
| JackWaugh | Can anybody else think of why making an http: connection would take a long time? | 01:23 |
| braxton | Can someone help me with symlinks? | 01:23 |
| seb_ | soreau: the 3d effect with the my windows for example | 01:23 |
| soreau | seb_: That is the proprietary/catalyst/fglrx driver which does not support your card at all any more | 01:23 |
| JackWaugh | braxton: be specific. | 01:23 |
| braxton | Are they just folders that point to another location? | 01:23 |
| j800r | wardedmocha, can i pm a link to you. i have a small screencast on Chromium that will help explain it | 01:23 |
| soreau | seb_: You cannot use fglrx with that card unless you use a very old version of ubuntu | 01:23 |
| wardedmocha | could ayou do that | 01:23 |
| wardedmocha | you* | 01:23 |
| switch10 | braxton: yes, basically. | 01:23 |
| JackWaugh | braxton: they are entries in a directory, and they point to a folder or any other kind of file, even another symlink. | 01:23 |
| braxton | How do I make them with the terminal? | 01:24 |
| seb_ | soreau: that seriously sucks | 01:24 |
| adson | oi | 01:24 |
| seb_ | soreau: the're must be some kind of alternative | 01:24 |
| JackWaugh | braxton: ln -s pathname-to-point-to where-you-want-the-link | 01:24 |
| soreau | seb_: The radeon driver should already be working decently and is getting better all the time (now that amd bought ati and began releasing hw specs which enables the open driver developers to create better drivers) | 01:24 |
| wardedmocha | hey will you pm me that thing | 01:24 |
| JackWaugh | braxton: A symlink can be relative or absolute. | 01:24 |
| soreau | seb_: The radeon driver *is* the driver you want to use for that card | 01:24 |
| histo | JackWaugh: time curl break.com > /dev/null took 21.287s | 01:25 |
| adson | oi | 01:25 |
| switch10 | braxton: ln | 01:25 |
| adson | exit | 01:25 |
| seb_ | soreau: what should i look for in synaptic? | 01:25 |
| adson | comando ls | 01:25 |
| seb_ | soreau: radeon fg.. | 01:25 |
| JackWaugh | histo: That's also about how long it takes in the browser? | 01:25 |
| seb_ | soreau: ? | 01:25 |
| histo | JackWaugh: yes | 01:25 |
| soreau | seb_: First, show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer' | 01:25 |
| fk91 | Hello, I have successfull deleted grub2. After installing grub1 the cmd update-grub should create the menu entries, but only memtest86 was found. But in /boot should be the ubuntu kernel? | 01:25 |
| seb_ | soreau: how do i do that? | 01:26 |
| histo | JackWaugh: although google and yahoo are timing like 2 seconds now with curl | 01:26 |
| JackWaugh | histo: For me it took only 1.4 sec. | 01:26 |
| soreau | seb_: 1) Open a terminal 2) Type 'glxinfo|grep renderer' (without tick marks) 3) Press enter 4) Post the line it gives you back here | 01:26 |
| soreau | ! terminal | seb_ | 01:26 |
| ubottu | seb_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:26 |
| histo | JackWaugh: yeah youtube jsut took 2.241 seconds | 01:26 |
| JackWaugh | histo: Maybe if you do "man curl", you will find a way to make it give details about the interaction over the network. | 01:27 |
| histo | JackWaugh: loading in a browser takes about 20 seconds though | 01:27 |
| seb_ | soreau: how do i do that straight line? | 01:27 |
| JackWaugh | Does anyone else have an idea why histo is seeing these kinds of timings? | 01:27 |
| soreau | seb_: It's |, key just about enter. But you can also just copy/paste the command | 01:28 |
| ivan_ | hello | 01:28 |
| soreau | above* | 01:28 |
| histo | JackWaugh: many people have complained of slow browsing on ubuntu on the forums but the only solution i've seen posted is disabling ipv6 | 01:28 |
| JackWaugh | Then why doesn't it happen to me? | 01:28 |
| seb_ | soreau: X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) | 01:28 |
| seb_ | Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) | 01:28 |
| seb_ | Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) | 01:28 |
| seb_ | Serial number of failed request: 16 | 01:28 |
| seb_ | Current serial number in output stream: 16 | 01:28 |
| FloodBot2 | seb_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:28 |
| braxton | I don't really understand the command ln. | 01:29 |
| braxton | What are the arguments again? | 01:29 |
| BrayMailloux | Afternoon. I'm using a Lenovo Thinkpad 2746. The laptop is REALLY hot and the fan is working overtime. I'm using 10.04 (Lucid) with 2.6.32-22-generic. | 01:29 |
| braxton | Sorry for the noobishness. | 01:29 |
| JackWaugh | braxton: Shall we have a chat about it just the two of us? | 01:29 |
| braxton | JackWaugh, that sounds lovely, yes. | 01:29 |
| switch10 | braxton: man ln | 01:29 |
| demifuror | guys, how can i delay the execution fo a script until AFTER my wireless is connected | 01:30 |
| switch10 | braxton: you should only need the -s argument | 01:30 |
| seb_ | soreau: should i paste in pastebin next time? | 01:30 |
| soreau | seb_: No, one line is fine | 01:30 |
| braxton | switch10, I am aware of the man pages. | 01:30 |
| seb_ | soreau: did you get what i sent? | 01:30 |
| switch10 | braxton: you dont understand the man pages?? | 01:30 |
| histo | JackWaugh: I don't know b ut i'm definately experiencing it | 01:31 |
| seb_ | soreau: it gave me a few lines | 01:31 |
| soreau | seb_: Ok so you have fglrx installed. You need to remove it. 1) Look at the output of 'dpkg -l|grep fglrx' and remove all packages with 'ii' next to them 2) If you used some other method, look in /usr/share/ati/ for an uninstall script and run that 3) Reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri packages after removing fglrx 4) Finally, reboot | 01:31 |
| switch10 | braxton: the easiest way to learn how to use ln. | 01:31 |
| histo | JackWaugh: I don't think curl is downloading images and stuff though just code | 01:31 |
| switch10 | braxton: but like i said you should only need the -s option for symbolic link. | 01:32 |
| BrayMailloux | I opened System Monitor and my first core is running at 100% | 01:32 |
| demifuror | guys how can i tell a scritp to wait until wlan0 is connected? | 01:32 |
| JackWaugh | histo: That's right, it doesn't follow any references as a browser would. | 01:32 |
| histo | JackWaugh: well thats definately where the slow down is | 01:32 |
| BrayMailloux | And the process list does not make mention of any process using 100% of the processor. | 01:32 |
| JackWaugh | histo: so try each individual image and find the slow one. | 01:32 |
| histo | JackWaugh: They are all slow | 01:33 |
| seb_ | soreau: amdcccle would this be a uninstall script? | 01:33 |
| histo | JackWaugh: thats whats taking 20 seconds. I can take a video but I need somewhere to post it | 01:33 |
| BrayMailloux | Ok... no the 100% load has shifted over to processor two. | 01:33 |

| JackWaugh | histo: Maybe you will get a clue of some use or other if you try getting each individual picture (using curl) and the style sheet, and see whether just one of those is slow. | 01:36 |
| meoblast001 | unop: yes | 01:36 |
| meoblast001 | unop: it's bugzilla | 01:36 |
| scorp | does anyone know how to set up a network where i can share files with my other linux computers | 01:36 |
| unop | meoblast001, you'll need to either setup mod_perl for your virtualhost -- or configure execCGI to tell apache what is executable | 01:37 |
| freezway | hey, I reinstalled ubuntu and cant get the same resolution, i dont think it detects my monitor correctly | 01:37 |
| Shapeshiftr | if I want to run a mail server, should I get ubuntu or ubuntu server? | 01:37 |
| meoblast001 | unop: i have libapache2-mod-perl2 | 01:37 |
| kevinr | scorp if you are looking for a vet simple answer you could use a program named dropbox 2gigs a month free | 01:37 |
| meoblast001 | oh | 01:37 |
| meoblast001 | set it up for the virtual host... i don't use virtual hosts | 01:37 |
| seb_ | soreau: i'm using synaptic to uninstall | 01:37 |
| unop | meoblast001, yes, that's only the package - you'll need to define how mod_perl is used | 01:37 |
| seb_ | soreau: thanks for you help i'm pretty sure it will be good now | 01:37 |
| scorp | kevinr, well how exactly does that work | 01:38 |

| vlt | nullbyte: Sounds like you have more than one name servers and the first one doesn't answer. After timeout the next is used. This is what feels slow. | 02:02 |
| BrayMailloux | Appl6: A bug does appear to exist. It is new and the importance has been undecided. | 02:02 |

| slimjimflim | hi i have this issue: | 02:09 |
| slimjimflim | Be aware though automatically starting JACK can cause the daemon (jackd) and/or the GUI (qjackctl) to crash/freeze if device settings change between two sessions (for example, a USB soundcard can get different device numbers across sessions). If so, set the appropriate entry (autolaunch) to 0 in the ~/.jackdrc file, qjackctl should work again. | 02:09 |
| vlt | LiraNuna: You can _try_ mkvextract | 02:09 |
| slimjimflim | but there's no autolaunch entry in my .jackdrc | 02:09 |
| slimjimflim | there's nothing about it on google | 02:10 |
| slimjimflim | can anybody help? | 02:10 |

| seb_ | Appl6: im using system moniter by the way | 02:12 |

| LiraNuna | vlt, ffempg is an encoder however | 02:13 |
| varunthacker | tomreyn: yes | 02:13 |
| vanvan | does anyone know how to install jdk on ubuntu ? | 02:13 |
| Appl6 | seb_: Yeah, Ubuntu is very heavy as far as Linux distributions go. If you see your system running at 192 MB again though, I'd be happy to take a look at the output of "ps -eo pmem,pcpu,rss,vsize,args | { head -1 ; sort -k 1 -r -n ; }" again. | 02:13 |
| vlt | LiraNuna: It can extract single tracks from container files. Maybe it supports "attachments" like albzm arts too. | 02:14 |
| vanvan | i typed sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk | 02:14 |
| LiraNuna | vlt, let's try then | 02:14 |

| rww | tucemiux: if you want to use software center, than presumably you should install it ;P | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | varunthacker: if you get to see this message, please type this next: GET / HTTP/1.1 | 02:39 |
| rww | the package is named "software-center" too. | 02:39 |
| nibblyn | seb_, thanks; however that's a different number, don't ask me why ;) | 02:39 |
| tomreyn | varunthacker: then: Host: s0.wordpress.com | 02:39 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: maybe I'm confused. Just how exactly did you install ubuntu and ubuntustudio? | 02:40 |
| acerimmer_ | wondering how you DON" | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | varunthacker: then press enter twice | 02:40 |
| tucemiux | acerimmer_, do you have lucid? ubuntustudio began using software center in lucid but I just installed lucid from an ISO and it didnt have the software center, I upgraded from karmic to lucid and "add/remove" was replaced with "software center". But "software center" did not get installed when I installed lucid from an ISO | 02:40 |
| vlt | pandora: There are several different ways to transfer files. Do you need it just once, only one-way or do you want to setup something like NFS? | 02:40 |
| seb_ | nibblyn: diff number? | 02:40 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: cna you private chat? | 02:40 |
| rww | !pm | 02:40 |

| tucemiux | acerimmer_, yes | 02:40 |
| Ranjan | hello every body I need your help to install an driver for digital Pen Tablet on ubuntu 10.04 ..

| acerimmer_ | rww: ok | 02:40 |
| tomreyn | varunthacker: you should then see this: http://pastebin.com/5S5VNT9C | 02:41 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: ok, first, you did a COMPLETE install of lucid, yes | 02:41 |
| tucemiux | rww, do you know the name of the wireless applet that stays up in the corner all the time? | 02:41 |
| nibblyn | seb_, well, 896832k total, 838332k used, <> 514Mb used ;P | 02:41 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: "indicator applet" | 02:41 |
| tomreyn | varunthacker: it's possible that your connection drops and you get bumped back to the shell if you type too slowly. if this happens then just restart from the 'nc' command above | 02:41 |
| === Gordon is now known as Guest80135 | ||
| Guest80135 | hello again, does anyone know hot to fix the boot screen resolution? it got messed up after i installed ATI catalyst | 02:42 |
| Jordan_U | antonius: You can either boot OSX directly from grub, or load chameleon from the filesystem via "multiboot". | 02:42 |
| seb_ | nibblyn: ok so my moniter says it right? | 02:42 |
| tucemiux | acerimmer_, I upgraded karmic to lucid, I hosed it, sort of fixed it, and decided to reinstall lucid using an ISO. I downloaded the ISO and installed lucid, this time lucid didnt have the software center | 02:42 |
| solidsnack | What file do I modify to configure "cloud-config"? | 02:42 |
| rww | tucemiux: the applet itself is "nm-applet", the package is "network-manager-gnome". | 02:42 |
| seb_ | nibblyn: lol man i suck | 02:42 |
| solidsnack | Where can I find docs for this tool? | 02:42 |
| jerry_ | I am new to using linux and ubuntu. I need to install some software. How do you "run" ./configure? I cannot seem to find the command - sorry- too used to windows. | 02:42 |
| rww | tucemiux: what was the name of the ISO file? | 02:42 |
| solidsnack | jerry_: You need to open a terminal. | 02:43 |
| tucemiux | rww, i downloaded from ubuntustudio official site | 02:43 |
| vlt | jerry_: Is that software in the ubuntu repository or do you really need to compile it? | 02:43 |
| Jordan_U | jerry_: Install software via Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, or for a more advanced interface System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager | 02:43 |
| nibblyn | seb_, why they are different don't know, I can just guess, but I can tell you that the amount used is ok | 02:44 |
| solidsnack | jerry_: You rarely need to do things that way, though. | 02:44 |
| jerry_ | Thanks, will try that. | 02:44 |
| acerimmer_ | rww: you want to help tucemix fix his ubuntustudio? | 02:44 |
| seb_ | nibblyn: lol ok thanks, just seems like alot considering the little i have running.... | 02:44 |
| tucemiux | acerimmer_, rww I got the software center installed, the wireless icon is up where it's supposed to be | 02:45 |
| acerimmer_ | :) | 02:45 |
| jerry_ | thanks solidsnack, been pulling my hair and wondering why this is so difficult when eveything in linux is soooo smooth | 02:45 |
| rww | acerimmer_: not really, I have a meeting in 15 minutes ;P | 02:45 |
| acerimmer_ | so problem solved then! | 02:45 |
| tucemiux | im going to reboot and see if the wireless icon is still there after a reboot and then test to see if it connects, thanks you rww acerimmer_ | 02:45 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: so you're all fixed?? | 02:45 |
| tucemiux | acerimmer_, yes now im going to reboot to test, im just wondering why that software didnt get installed by default? | 02:46 |
| soreau | seb_: What does 'glxinfo|grep renderer' say now? | 02:46 |
| acerimmer_ | tucemiux: do the rebooot and enjoy. | 02:46 |
| nibblyn | seb_, standard lucid install here, running at 532Mb (system monitor) and 2831156k total, 1252956k used (using top) | 02:46 |
| makdisse | can I block access to the network of machines which are not listed in the dhcpd.conf file? | 02:47 |
| seb_ | soreau: Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:47 |
| soreau | seb_: then you havent successfully removed fglrx or you need to reinstall those two packages I mentioned earlier | 02:48 |
| seb_ | nibblyn: okay | 02:48 |
| icehawk78 | Any clue why my audio over hdmi would stop working after restarting? | 02:48 |
| demifuror | guys, im trying to use this script to austostart my ps3 media server once im connected to my lan at system startup. the thing is, the server never gets started, and the log file continues ro populate with "Waiting..." when im using the system. However, if i run the script myself, the server starts http://pastebin.com/RudJcQL6 | 02:49 |
| Guest3014 | hello I have a problem with my Lucid Lynx install--I can not add a user | 02:49 |
| seb_ | soreau: sorry i did uninstall just figured out knowing how i did in a previous install, that my desktop is faster if i run the other packages, is that possible? | 02:49 |
| joscht | my lucid lynx is all messed up i cant log in graphically. half of the screen is like the magnifier | 02:49 |
| soreau | seb_: What other packages for what? | 02:49 |
| seb_ | soreau: well i have the two other packages installed | 02:50 |
| vlt | makdisse: Is your ubuntu machine between those machines and the network you want to protect? | 02:50 |
| demifuror | can anyone help me? | 02:51 |
| Guest3014 | I can't seem to add a user to my lucid Lynx install.... Can some one help? | 02:51 |
| soreau | seb_: Yes but you need to reinstall them because installing the fglrx driver may overwrite the libGL files you need | 02:51 |
| seb_ | soreau: but i also installed the other ones over it lol probably sounds strange but just seems to work better | 02:51 |
| joscht | and then when i log by typing my password it goes to a black screen flashes text and returns to the login screen | 02:51 |
| soreau | seb_: No, it's not working correctly right now | 02:51 |
| Guest3014 | Cause my father seems to be to stupid to do it himself he put his 12 year daughter in charge | 02:51 |
| Guest3014 | so help? | 02:51 |

| seb_ | soreau: okay il get it back to how you said | 02:51 |

| shape|away | question: when installing ubuntu on a virtual HDD, it asks me if I want to install GRUB on my hard drive | 02:55 |
| shape|away | *first hard drive | 02:55 |
| joscht | demifuror: thank i will try it | 02:55 |
| shape|away | does that mean the virtual HDD? | 02:55 |
| shape|away | It says it didn't find any other OSs | 02:56 |
| vlt | shape|away: How did you install? | 02:56 |
| shape|away | VirtualBox, from an .iso | 02:56 |
| joscht | demifuror: it says failed to aquire org.gnome.displaymanager | 02:56 |
| vlt | shape|away: And it's still running in VirtualBox? Then it's the virtual HDD of course | 02:56 |
| shape|away | ok, great | 02:57 |
| shape|away | I just didn't wnat to screw up my system. | 02:57 |
| soreau | joschi: sounds like your system may be missing some packages it needs. Can you try 'apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop'? | 02:57 |
| vlt | shape|away: That's what virtual machines are for ;-) | 02:57 |
| joscht | soreau | 02:57 |
| demifuror | soreau: joscht is asking, not joschi | 02:57 |
| joscht | soreau: yea i will try that right now | 02:57 |
| soreau | bah. auto-tab-complete fail | 02:58 |
| demifuror | haha | 02:58 |
| joscht | soreau: it still doesnt work, after it fails to aquire org.gnome.DisplayManager it says "could not aquire name; bailing out" | 02:59 |
| seb_ | soreau: hey do you mind giving the name of those two packages again please? | 02:59 |
| shape|away | ...why can't I type anything in on the passwor like? | 03:00 |
| shape|away | *line | 03:00 |
| shape|away | *password | 03:00 |
| joscht | shape|away: it looks like your typing nothing but you are just type ur pass and press enter | 03:01 |
| shape|away | ok, so there's no GUI for Ubuntu server? | 03:01 |
| mdg | exit | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | Back again. Have a HDHOMERUN device to connect to cable tv and record programs. Been trying to install the software and it says the following: Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, eg: | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | directory/libhdhomerun | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | directory/hdhomerun_config_gui | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory run: | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | ./configure | 03:02 |
| FloodBot2 | jerry_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:02 |
| jerry_ | make | 03:02 |
| Rafssd2 | #ubuntu-br | 03:03 |
| jerry_ | sorry, new to this. Don't even know what you are referring to as flood. Just trying to get help, not criticism | 03:03 |
| lighta | can someone help me with vsftpd here ? | 03:04 |
| joscht | does some one know what is my problem? | 03:04 |
| jerry_ | just need to know how to install software through "run" command?? | 03:04 |
| acerimmer | shape|away: default server install does NOT include gui | 03:05 |
| joscht | sudo shutdown now | 03:05 |
| joscht | woops sorry | 03:05 |
| lighta | jerry_, sh command you mean ? | 03:05 |
| jerry_ | lighta , not sure what youmean by sh command. How do you "run" a command | 03:06 |
| lighta | ? you just type the command you want in a terminal ? | 03:07 |
| lighta | what's the command you want to do ? | 03:08 |
| jerry_ | ./configure and the reply I get is that it cannot find the file | 03:09 |
| connermcd | jerry_ you have to change to the appropriate directory where you extracted it | 03:09 |
| ian_ | How can I make the edges of windows easier to grab with the cursor? | 03:09 |
| connermcd | jerry_ use "cd /path/to/directory" to change directory then do ./configure | 03:09 |
| connermcd | jerry_ or do "/path/to/directory/configure" | 03:10 |
| jerry_ | Thought I was in desktop where I moved all relevant files | 03:10 |
| Kane_Hart | where can I fnd this in the db? - Quests Completed - Total Damage Done - Total Damage Received - Total Healing Done | 03:10 |
| connermcd | jerry_ you may need to move into a subfolder after extraction | 03:10 |
| seb_ | soreau: i now get nothing when i type in glxinfo|grep renderer$ | 03:10 |
| Kane_Hart | wrong irc | 03:10 |
| jerry_ | ok, thanks, will try | 03:10 |
| lighta | ./ mean current directory you probably must use not related path eg ( /home/../Bureau/config..) | 03:10 |
| connermcd | ian_ do you mean for resizing a window? | 03:11 |
| seb_ | soreau | 03:11 |
| seb_ | soreau: so the packages i need were libdrm-radeon1 and? | 03:11 |

| Roasted | I'm trying to figure out how to install a LAMP server on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. Is there any easy how to guides for me to follow, or can anybody offer any help or advice on the subject? | 03:13 |
| acerimmer | Roasted: "ubuntu server guide" | 03:13 |
| ian_ | connermcd yes, it's really hard on my netbook (seems like only a pixel or two wide) | 03:13 |
| seb_ | soreau: ?? | 03:13 |
| Roasted | acerimmer, you're saying google that? | 03:14 |
| acerimmer | Roasted: suggestion only | 03:14 |
| connermcd | ian_ try holding down alt and clicking the mouse wheel... I believe there's a compiz setting as well | 03:14 |
| soreau | seb_: libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri | 03:15 |
| acerimmer | Roasted: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CBsQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ubuntu.com%2Fserver%2Fget-ubuntu%2Fdownload&ei=o5AVTKL_HMionQecn7CEDA&usg=AFQjCNFs8iqD9lk8egpQkjkBmn99ghlFbw | 03:15 |
| connermcd | ian_ yes, in compiz the setting is Super plus mouse wheel button but you can change it of course | 03:15 |
| Roasted | acerimmer, I'm not running ubuntu server. I'm on ubuntu desktop edition. I just want LAMP installed on my desktop. | 03:16 |
| Nemoder | How do I boot the liveCD into console only? | 03:16 |
| acerimmer | Roasted: ah. sorry for the confusion. | 03:16 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: of course it depends on what you're wanting it for, but I was just messing w/ ebox and it pretty much handles all setup and config for you | 03:16 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, does webmin do that? I have webmin installed... | 03:17 |
| rww | !webmin | 03:17 |
| ubottu | 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. | 03:17 |
| Roasted | webmin is no longer supported!?!?! | 03:17 |
| Roasted | holy wtf? | 03:17 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: that note just posted re: Webmin is why I was playing w/ ebox | 03:17 |
| seb_ | soreau: i get this now OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (RS690 791F) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE2 NO-TCL | 03:18 |
| soreau | seb_: Great, 3D is working now | 03:18 |
| rww | Roasted: it hasn't been supported for a while, actually. | 03:18 |
| ian_ | connermcd what if I'm not using compiz? | 03:18 |
| ian_ | which I'm not on my netbook | 03:18 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, I'm looking at ebox now. there's quite a few in software center. is there a "download ebox" and get all of the above option? | 03:18 |
| Roasted | rww, that's surprising. webmin is pretty darn solid. | 03:18 |
| seb_ | soreau: thanx | 03:18 |
| Roasted | I think when I got on the webmin bandwagon, ebox was still in its beta-like stage. Looks like things have changed, I take it? | 03:18 |
| seb_ | soreau: now i just have to get my wireless going | 03:19 |
| ian_ | connermcd oh sorry, didn't see the previous one | 03:19 |
| soreau | seb_: What wifi chip is it as reported by lspci? | 03:19 |
| connermcd | ian_ alt+F8 - you can change the keyboard shortcut as well | 03:19 |

| Spaztic_One | the IRC room I mean | 03:19 |
| Italiandevil0505 | hey looking for some help getting my vista laptop to see my ubuntu desktop over the network, as of now the vista laptop just says unknown device for the ubuntu pc | 03:19 |

| ubottu | Spaztic_One: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:19 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: I understand webmin is popular w/ its adherents, but I think it only works on older versions of Ubuntu, (maybe 8.04???) | 03:19 |

| Roasted | ubuntu_, works terrific on 10.04. I've had zero issues and use it extensively on production servers at work. | 03:20 |
| ian_ | connermcd thanks | 03:20 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, what does "not supported" mean? It's in the software center... *shrug* | 03:20 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: interesting. | 03:20 |
| soreau | seb_: I am not familiar with broadcom chips but I think you might need a 3rd party driver (not completely sure) | 03:21 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: well the note says it has an incompatible way of handling packages. | 03:21 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: means that it is still available but that it is not officially supported and you use it at your own risk | 03:21 |
| connermcd | ian_ no prob | 03:21 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, but ebox is fully supported? | 03:21 |
| Italiandevil0505 | ubuntu_, hey looking for some help getting my vista laptop to see my ubuntu desktop over the network, as of now the vista laptop just says unknown device for the ubuntu pc | 03:22 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: according to the factoid ebox is the recommended package. | 03:22 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, hm, good deal. I'll play it safe and try this then :P | 03:22 |
| acerimmer | !landscape|roasted | 03:22 |
| ubottu | roasted: Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ | 03:22 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: also I do not see webmin in my repos. you must have unofficial repos enabled | 03:22 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, perhaps I do - its in the software ctr though for me. | 03:23 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, I thought webmin was a .deb download from their site, but when I checked software ctr it was there. pretty sure I got it from their site tho | 03:23 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: you probably added their repository | 03:23 |
| IdleOne | software center will list all available packages in any repositories you have in your sources.list | 03:24 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, I didnt add any repos except medibuntu I believe. this is a pretty new install. | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | there ya go | 03:24 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, I didnt see anything noted as webmin in my sourcse.list - just checked it there. | 03:24 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, ah, that's the money shot? medibuntu? | 03:24 |
| Italiandevil0505 | ubuntu: hey looking for some help getting my vista laptop to see my ubuntu desktop over the network, as of now the vista laptop just says unknown device for the ubuntu pc | 03:24 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: probably | 03:24 |
| seb_ | soreau: it seems i have to use ndiswrapper for this but in my last install of ubuntu, (i reinstalled everything) i managed to connect with hardware drivers... now it dosn't work | 03:25 |
| pushpop | Hi all I'm trying to install 10.04 but what happens when I boot to the cd it starts and goes to the ubuntu logo then the screen just go wacky and the install locks up | 03:25 |
| Roasted | just installed ebox AND landscape - where they hiding at? | 03:25 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: apt-cache policy webmin will tell you what repo it comes from | 03:25 |
| dayrot | anyone know if dvd::rip has an irc channel? | 03:26 |
| deckerdutil | $gentoo | 03:26 |
| acerimmer | pushpop:did you checksum your iso and disk? | 03:26 |
| deckerdutil | $gentoo | 03:26 |
| soreau | seb_: Well as I said, I am not familiar with broadcom. But if you used native linux drivers with it on the same version of ubuntu it should still be possible, just google | 03:26 |
| acerimmer | !ot|deckerdutil | 03:26 |
| ubottu | deckerdutil: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:26 |
| deckerdutil | $gentoo | 03:26 |
| pushpop | acerimmer yes and burnt the cd two times to see if that was the issue | 03:26 |
| IdleOne | deckerdutil: please stop | 03:26 |
| occy | heh... craziest thing ever. Sound _IS WORKING_ with World of Warcraft via Wine, but I can't get sound to come out of firefox while playing a Youtube video??? | 03:26 |
| connermcd | dayrot I know not... I have used acidrip as a mencoder graphical user face for ripping DVDs to AVIs and I like it | 03:27 |
| connermcd | dayrot but not to impose my own software preferences... if you have a question about dvd::rip I can try to help | 03:27 |
| deckerdutil | $gentoo | 03:27 |
| acerimmer | pushpop: alternate installation method iso usually avoids all those nasty gui issues during boot/install. | 03:27 |
| pushpop | acerimmer thank you ill look into that | 03:27 |
| dayrot | connermcd, have you done animes, splitting the episodes and integrating subtitles? | 03:27 |
| Roasted | how do I log into landscape | 03:28 |
| connermcd | dayrot I have done other television series splitting episodes.. it has a queueing feature that works nicely... I have not done any subtitles but there are options available for that | 03:28 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: see landscape.canonical.com for more info | 03:28 |
| seb_ | soreau: thank you | 03:28 |
| Roasted | IdleOne, already on it. I see screenshots and uh, thats about it. | 03:28 |
| occy | it feels like 1996 again... Not sure why we switched to pulseaudio... I've only ever had tons of problems with it. :( | 03:29 |
| soreau | sebner: no problem | 03:30 |
| soreau | damn this channel | 03:30 |
| * soreau leaves | 03:30 | |
| dayrot | connermcd, the problem I am having is this dvd only has one title and each episode is about 4 chapters. Subtitles only seem to work if you do the title at once... | 03:30 |
| connermcd | dayrot can't you just rip the whole thing then split it using pitivi | 03:31 |
| Roasted | hey, uh. landscape. how can I log into it? | 03:31 |
| dayrot | connermcd, idk, i'll have to look at that program, but i would rather the subtitles be vobsub and not part of the avi | 03:32 |
| connermcd | dayrot ah I see | 03:32 |
| Roasted | oh wait - landscape isnt free??? | 03:32 |
| Roasted | is this for fricken real? | 03:32 |
| hiexpo | dayrot, what app u using to rip it? | 03:32 |
| dayrot | hiexpo, dvd::rip | 03:32 |
| hiexpo | dayrot, is it an encrypted dvd? | 03:33 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: If its like ebox (never used it) you log into it by giving the https://<ip address of the machine>/ebox | 03:33 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: that is right | 03:33 |
| Roasted | wow. landscape fails. isn't it kind of ironic that canonical is mr open source yet this costs money? | 03:33 |
| Roasted | -1 | 03:34 |
| Roasted | yeah, time to look into ebox. | 03:34 |
| dayrot | hiexpo, probably, but that wasn't a problem, it ripped just fine | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: no it isn't | 03:34 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: the medibuntu site includes non-free software. | 03:34 |
| bobthemilkman | Roasted: Free as in beer and free as in money are not mutually exclusive. | 03:34 |
| dayrot | I am just trying to figure out how I'm gonna do subtitles | 03:34 |
| hiexpo | dayrot, what happened? | 03:34 |
| Roasted | bobthemilkman, explain? | 03:34 |
| IdleOne | bobthemilkman can you please explain it in #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:34 |
| === stove is now known as Takaro | ||
| Roasted | IdleOne, I think this is relevant to ubuntu main support, to be honest. | 03:35 |
| dayrot | hiexpo, basically dvd::rip only lets you do subtitles on the title of the dvd, which in this case is the entire thing. Each episode is about four chapters of the dvd not separate titles. | 03:35 |
| soreau | Roasted: In english there's just 'free'.. but there can be at least two different meanings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gratis_versus_Libre | 03:35 |
| bobthemilkman | This is a technical support channel, not a Debian philosophy channel. | 03:36 |
| Roasted | bobthemilkman, it's still relevant to ubuntu and the differences in software directly affiliated with it. | 03:36 |
| compu-vieja | hola | 03:36 |
| IdleOne | Roasted: enough | 03:36 |
| Roasted | As a result, it's on par with support from here. IMHO. | 03:36 |
| Roasted | wow. really? | 03:36 |
| acerimmer | !es|comput-vieja | 03:36 |
| ubottu | comput-vieja: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. | 03:36 |
| IdleOne | this is not a discussion channel. this is for support | 03:36 |
| Roasted | really? | 03:36 |
| IdleOne | yes really | 03:36 |
| kelly_ | my nero linux 4 express crashes whenever i try to run it can anyone help me fix this problem | 03:37 |
| h3nry | i am trying to set up CUDA on Ubuntu 9.1. I need to install the nVidia dev drivers, which requires me to exit the gui. So I enter "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" in a terminal, and the computer locks up | 03:37 |
| h3nry | any suggestions? | 03:37 |
| acerimmer | !ot|kelly_ | 03:37 |
| ubottu | kelly_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. Thanks! | 03:37 |
| Roasted | ahh, ubuntu mods. *takes it back 70 notches* sorry I just came back from vacation, forgot how restricted it is in these parts. | 03:37 |
| dayrot | hiexpo, so the only thing I think I can do is rip the thing as one file and integrate the subtitles in the avi. then split the avi into episodes. But that to me isn't very pure, I like the subtitles as an option | 03:37 |
| Roasted | my dearest apologies, IdleOne | 03:37 |
| smegzor | Is anyone else having trouble right clicking recently in 9.04? Recently my right click has been behaving erratically. It appears to sometimes release while I'm still pressing the button which causes me to select options I didn't intend. It is happening in many apps, but I mainly notice it in firefox, nautilus, and my wallpaper app, webilder. I have not tried another mouse yet. | 03:37 |
| soreau | h3nry: Tried recovery mode? | 03:37 |
| connermcd | dayrot you might look at http://kdenlive.org/ | 03:37 |
| sebsebseb | acerimmer: how is kelly_ off topic? | 03:37 |
| Roasted | can I ask a question about ebox now? or should I take that to OT since its a program for ubuntu and not a question about ubuntu itself? | 03:37 |
| dayrot | ok thanks connermcd | 03:37 |
| h3nry | im not much of a linux power user. how do i get to recovery mode? | 03:38 |
| acerimmer | sebsebseb: nerolinux? | 03:38 |
| phobos_anomaly | Roasted: with the way they work here, it might be better off in ot | 03:38 |
| Roasted | phobos_anomaly, no kidding man. | 03:38 |
| sebsebseb | acerimmer: yes kelly_ seems to want some propritary burning software working in Ubuntu, and maybe kelly doesn't know about Brasero and K3B | 03:38 |
| Roasted | I think I'll do that regardless. I often get better help there anyway. :P | 03:38 |
| soreau | Roasted: the policy is to just ask. don't ask to ask. If it's ot, someone will say so | 03:38 |
| connermcd | dayrot - also http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2008/03/02/ubuntu-linux-subtitles-video-editing-and-dvd-authoring/ | 03:38 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: There is no recovery mode. If you need administrative properties, use sudo, or sudo -s. If you broke your GUI, drop into a TTY with alt+F1-F6. If you really messed up your system, pop in a live-CD and then chroot into your system. | 03:39 |
| h3nry | i didnt do anything yet! | 03:39 |
| Roasted | soreau, well I asked a relevant question earlier, and I was told it wasn't applicable to this chat. I want to do the right thing and make sure I'm on subject with the narrow set of applicable questions that are allowed to be asked here. That's all. But we're all good now - I'm just taking it to OT. | 03:39 |
| h3nry | i wanted to get into the terminal to install something, but i cant get there | 03:39 |

| piero | Hi! Can I make something like a dist-downgrade to remove proposed updates I had installed lastday? | 03:40 |
| h3nry | ubottu: oops. sorry | 03:40 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: Use alt+F1 to drop into a TTY | 03:40 |
| IdleOne | !downgrade | piero | 03:41 |
| ubottu | piero: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 03:41 |
| n2diy | h3nry: when your system is booting, you'll have an option to hit the escape key, that will show you your recovery mode options, at least in Xubuntu. | 03:41 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: errr, ctrl+alt+F1 | 03:41 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: (Specifically, leftctrl+leftalt+F1 | 03:41 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: i just did that, and it did something, but didnt take to to a tty | 03:42 |
| piero | IdleOne, I want not to downgrade to an older ubuntu version. I had installed ubuntu proposed updates and now I want to downgrade the packs it upgraded before | 03:42 |
| phobos_anomaly | piero: down-grading isn't supported. | 03:42 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: i still see the terminal window, but the area where the desktop was went black, the cursor is flashing but it is not recognizing my keystrokes | 03:42 |
| connermcd | piero is there a specific problem you're having? | 03:42 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: i am running this in a sun/oracle VirtualBox VM in Win7. Perhaps its a display issue when I leave the gui? | 03:43 |
| piero | connermcd, yes. My scp is working funny.. it's stalls about 10 seconds after the transfer starts.. no matter what I'm transfering | 03:43 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: ctrl+alt+f7 took me back into the gui with no problems | 03:43 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: The easier solution to your problem is sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-dev | 03:44 |
| sultanselephant | anyone have a way cool tip about how to install adobe air2 on 64bit | 03:45 |

| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: upgraded to Intrepid from what? Hardy? | 03:45 |
| Nitrus^1 | yeah | 03:45 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: oh dear | 03:45 |
| acerimmer | Nitrus^1: ?) | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: since you had 8.04, you could have upgraded to 10.04 straight away, now it is to late | 03:46 |
| bobthemilkman | h3nry: Hold up, I'm gonna cancel my X session so I can give you an exact answer. | 03:46 |
| sultanselephant | i never upgrade | 03:46 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me get a mic working on skype? | 03:46 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: and the getting started guide found at http://developer.nvidia.com/object/cuda_3_0_downloads.html says to use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 03:46 |
| sultanselephant | you gotta wipe it! | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: now you would have to go through 9.04 and 9.10 first, or just clean install | 03:46 |
| Nitrus^1 | there was no LTS between those releases? | 03:46 |
| acerimmer | Nitrus^1: my vote: clean install | 03:46 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: indeed | 03:46 |

| bobthemilkman | h3nry: Anyway, you might need to install *other* video card drivers first, and then drop to TTY1, and then do the installation from there. | 03:47 |
| sebsebseb | IdleOne: yeah I guess, however 8.10/Intrepid is no longer supported | 03:47 |
| Nitrus^1 | mic issue? i have no mic issue? | 03:47 |
| crazygir | I've also had ff take out itself when trying to fullscreen a flash video(reliably) | 03:47 |
| IdleOne | Nitrus^1: sorry wrong person | 03:47 |
| reduz | sultanselephant, i don't care about that, i have a TTF of my own and i want to install it | 03:48 |
| h3nry | bobthemilkman: ok. its late here, so maybe i'll fight with this tomorrow (when i can consult with some of my more linux-savvy friends) | 03:48 |

| reduz | sultanselephant, thanks a lot! | 03:48 |
| sultanselephant | reduz: dont thank me, thank ubottu | 03:48 |
| sebsebseb | crazygir: yes read them both, however for the full screen Flash issue, I have a link | 03:48 |
| crazygir | awesome | 03:49 |
| sebsebseb | crazygir: also yes add ons can sometimes go wrong in Firefox | 03:49 |
| crazygir | I've *never* had noscript give a problem like this | 03:49 |
| sultanselephant | screw noscript | 03:49 |
| crazygir | it also started immediately after the 10.4 upgrade | 03:49 |

| sebsebseb | crazygir: maybe start over with a new Firefox profile? | 03:49 |
| crazygir | hah, so let's deny ubuntu having bugs? | 03:49 |
| Nitrus^1 | sebsebseb: i did a do-release-upgrade from whatever the last LTS was to the newest | 03:50 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: if thats so why are you on 8.10? | 03:50 |
| crazygir | I'll test, sure | 03:50 |
| crazygir | didn't think of the profile | 03:50 |
| sultanselephant | maybe he's a star trek fan | 03:50 |
| Nitrus^1 | i'm not on 10. whatever | 03:50 |
| Nitrus^1 | now* | 03:50 |
| crazygir | if thatis the problem, I hope febe can restore without problems | 03:50 |
| server_ | im having difficulty running xubuntu 10.4 without a monitor, it just wont work, i tried editing a xorg.conf which i had to make because one didnt exist. and it kinda ruined my system cause i couldnt get back in. however i was able to fix it. | 03:50 |
| crazygir | ruined your system? | 03:51 |
| server_ | yes | 03:51 |
| crazygir | dem some harsh words | 03:51 |
| server_ | black screen | 03:51 |
| crazygir | that's misconfigured, not ruined | 03:51 |
| IdleOne | Nitrus^1: just to confirm, can you run lsb_release -a and check what version you are on now? | 03:51 |
| sultanselephant | he means broke it | 03:51 |
| server_ | but i deleted the xorg and it bootes | 03:51 |
| server_ | booted | 03:51 |
| crazygir | is that akin todeleting program files? | 03:52 |
| server_ | i tried two different xorg configs | 03:52 |
| server_ | xorg never existed | 03:52 |
| server_ | i had to make it in x11 | 03:52 |
| sebsebseb | crazygir: do you know about the hidden .folders in Home ? | 03:52 |

| Nitrus^1 | i tweaked by release-upgrades file from LTS to normal | 03:52 |
| Nitrus^1 | URGH | 03:52 |
| crazygir | server_: post your config, log, and problem :) | 03:52 |
| Nitrus^1 | i didnt check before i ran the upgrade process | 03:53 |
| Nitrus^1 | so now i'm on 8.10 | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | crazygir: ok .mozilla is your Firerfox profile, if you delete/move that, then re open Firefox, it will be like you just installed it. also if you delete it you would lose anything in it of course | 03:53 |
| Nitrus^1 | i was on 8.04 | 03:53 |
| IdleOne | Nitrus^1: ok upgrade to 9.04 | 03:53 |
| crazygir | right, I understand | 03:53 |
| server_ | well there currently is no config xorg.conf doesnt exist, i tried using xorg failsafe and it didnt work either | 03:53 |
| Nitrus^1 | can i switch back to LTS when i get current? | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: 9.04 is :) | 03:53 |
| orangeglo | how can i partition my hard drive? | 03:53 |
| crazygir | thanks for the suggestion :) | 03:53 |
| server_ | its using intel driver | 03:53 |
| IdleOne | Nitrus^1: or do a fresh install of 10.04 | 03:53 |
| sebsebseb | Nitrus^1: you can upgrade all the way to 10.04, or just upgrade to 9.04 and use that for now | 03:53 |

| sebsebseb | scunizi: I know | 03:54 |
| server_ | when i boot without monitor it gets a blank screen, plug it back in and its still blank | 03:54 |
| Nitrus^1 | ok so at this point LTS=current normal release | 03:54 |
| scunizi | sebsebseb: I figured that :) | 03:54 |
| IdleOne | Nitrus^1: correct | 03:54 |
| Nitrus^1 | until there is another update | 03:54 |

| Roasted | ubuntu_, thanks. I think I forgot something. I selected ebox common or w/e in software ctr thinking it'd grab everything, but it didnt. I forgot you need to either install individually or apt-get ebox-* or whatever t download ebox + all ebox modules. doing that now | 03:56 |

| sebsebseb | orangeglo: if you install Windows after Ubuntu, Windows will go over the MBR Master Boot Record, so only Windows can boot | 03:57 |
| sebsebseb | orangeglo: then you can re install Grub 2, but its not that easy | 03:57 |

| orangeglo | sebsebseb: i just wanted windows for gaming | 04:00 |
| Maarten | hmm.... I am starting to like my Mint install a lot more then Ubuntu actually. | 04:00 |
| sebsebseb | soreau: orangeglo wants to put WIndows on after Ubuntu | 04:00 |
| oobe | ####ubuntu | 04:01 |
| rww | oobe: Something we can help with? | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | orangeglo: depending on the games, they may work quite well in Wine, maybe even a virtual machine even depending on games and how things are set up and that | 04:01 |
| oobe | maybe | 04:01 |
| sultanselephant | Maarten: ever try Ultimate | 04:01 |
| oobe | do you do laundry? | 04:01 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, the curve ball was the S - need https not http. :P | 04:01 |
| sultanselephant | thats a crazy remix | 04:01 |
| orangeglo | sebsebseb: how can i create a virtual windows? | 04:01 |
| sebsebseb | orangejuice: are the games 3D? | 04:02 |
| Maarten | sultanselephant: Ultimate what? I am multibooting on this laptop between Windows 7 Ultimate and Linux Mint 9 | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | Maarten: you want the Mint channels then | 04:02 |
| sultanselephant | Maarten: Ultimate Edition, it's a Ubuntu remix | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | Mint channel | 04:02 |
| sultanselephant | sebsebseb: nah its the same OS | 04:02 |
| dekenx | How can I disable firewire modules when booting from a Live CD (via boot parameters)? | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | sultanselephant: uhmm don't recommend Ultimate to people such as Maarten | 04:02 |
| Maarten | sebsebseb: I am on that already on Spotchat :P | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | sultanselephant: real Ubuntu is better really I guess | 04:02 |
| sebsebseb | Maarten: ok well Mint support is off topic here | 04:02 |

| soreau | ! vbox | orangejuice | 04:04 |
| ubottu | orangejuice: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | orangejuice: both versions are free as in price | 04:04 |
| sultanselephant | free as in beer | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | orangejuice: one from repo is open source, and lacks USB support unlike the one from website/webserver | 04:04 |
| sebsebseb | orangejuice: how much RAM you got? | 04:04 |
| ActionParsnip | orangejuice: if you use samba you can access the usb devices via shared folders on LAN :) | 04:05 |
| sultanselephant | ubuntu is a start-up company, those remixes are just renegade kids | 04:05 |
| sultanselephant | ya | 04:05 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, is there a lamp module for ebox? | 04:05 |
| Maarten | I just upgraded my elitebook to a 500 Gb harddrive and 8 Gb of ram.... just installed Virtualbox-ose as well, gonna play with it some. :) | 04:05 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: yeah, the 's' fooled me at first too. | 04:05 |
| elduendeverde | buenas! | 04:05 |
| ActionParsnip | sultanselephant: non canonical distros based on Ubuntu are not supported here, its that clean cut | 04:05 |
| n2diy | start up company, at five + years old? | 04:06 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: well under the covers the web server is Apache (the A) | 04:06 |
| Roasted | under the covers? | 04:06 |
| sebsebseb | orangejuice: seems we lost you? | 04:06 |
| sultanselephant | Canonical is a start-up, yeah | 04:06 |

| ubuntu_ | Roasted: lets see, remind me the other L, M,P are again? | 04:07 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me get a mic working with skype? Works fine for 8.10 | 04:07 |
| n2diy | sultanselephant: how old does a company have to be before you don't consider it a start up? | 04:07 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, I have no idea - I just told my buddy I wanted to share out files FTP-style but not FTP and he said use LAMP. | 04:07 |
| sultanselephant | n2diy: ill take it to pm if you want | 04:07 |
| n2diy | sultanselephant: ok. | 04:08 |
| Phil2010 | Does this look like Ubuntu setup fine? | 04:08 |
| domino14 | are there any other DVD codecs I don't know about? i installed the dvd css but it still wont recognize this dvd | 04:08 |
| Phil2010 | http://pastebin.com/vtP3AWn3 | 04:08 |
| domino14 | it's "copy protected". the Mac recognizes it fine | 04:08 |
| Tamnakz | Can anyone help me get a mic working with skype? Works fine for 8.10 | 04:08 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: hmmm... I wonder if they meant http or something. I know ebox provides file sharing AND ftp (distinguishes between). | 04:08 |
| sultanselephant | Tamnakz: did you configure it as your input device? | 04:09 |
| Roasted | ubuntu_, also, do you know if ebox can suck up the current samba setup? I have samba set up here and ebox isnt detecting my shares/users/etc. | 04:09 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: turns out the person I was trying to help orangelo left here a little while ago, and for some reason someone is calling themselves orangejuice on here | 04:09 |
| Tamnakz | sultanselephant: I have it setup properly for ubuntu, but in skype, it only allows me to select 'pulseaudio server (local)' for the mic | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: could use ssh to configure stuff at command line | 04:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sebsebseb: weird | 04:09 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, pardon? in reference to what? adding existent samba shares to ebox? | 04:10 |
| sebsebseb | ActionParsnip: yeah its a bit odd I guess, that someone is calling themselves orangejuice on here, then again maybe its a bot or something | 04:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: you can add samba shares by editting /etc/samba/smb.conf | 04:10 |
| sultanselephant | Tamnakz: what plugin otherwise | 04:10 |
| sultanselephant | alsa? | 04:10 |
| blocky | does anyone know of a linux alternative to the windows tool "Search Everything" | 04:10 |
| Tamnakz | sultanselephant: what do you mean? | 04:10 |
| sultanselephant | did you try restarting X with the mic plugged in or rebooting with the mic plugged in | 04:11 |
| mikeru | any good reason i should install pommed? | 04:11 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I have samba set up. I've had it set up for years. I'm just curious if there's a way for ebox (that I just installed) to "suck up" already existent samba configurations, because right now ebox shows I have 0 samba users and 0 samba shares. | 04:11 |
| mikeru | I installed it, and I really see no difference between it installed and not | 04:11 |
| mikeru | except the backlight better seems to be less buggy | 04:11 |
| mikeru | but the sound level seems to be buggier | 04:11 |
| n2diy | blocky: find, locate, and others | 04:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: never used ebox dude, ssh is far lighter and will allow you to transfer knowledge between lans as ssh is ssh and samba is samba, networks may not employ ebox though | 04:12 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I use samba because it works for each file/print sharing with windows, mac, and linux. I fail to see how SSH has any relevance here... | 04:12 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, eBox is just a management tool similar to webmin to tie everything together in a web based GUI. | 04:12 |
| Omnifarious | How do I make grub2 work properly for my GPT system where I'm using a Linux software RAID1 for /boot | 04:13 |
| Omnifarious | ? | 04:13 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I'm just trying to migrate from webmin to ebox since it was brought to my attention this evening webmin is not officially supported whereas ebox is, so I figured it'd be in my best interest to at least tinker with ebox for a while. | 04:13 |
| jimisrvrox | YankDownUnder: hey mate | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: you can connect to the remote system using ssh, edit smb.conf then restart the samba service and the share will be added / remove / modified depending on how you edit the smb.conf file | 04:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: yeah webmin tends to break stuff | 04:13 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, I never had an issue with it. In fact I've always thought very highly of that program. I got on webmin years ago when ebox was still kind of a beta product that nobody trusted for production gear. | 04:14 |
| Roasted | lol I just installed myphpadmin and didnt put in a password during the install and now I cant log in to it in the web gui :( | 04:14 |
| Roasted | yay for apt-get remove/install. | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure myphpadmin | 04:15 |
| wildbat | Omnifarious, just install as normal ~ | 04:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Roasted: should run the postinst config again | 04:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, thanks bro, but it's already done reinstalling :P | 04:16 |
| Roasted | ActionParsnip, GAH. It errored out. FML | 04:16 |

| Omnifarious | I kept getting errors while installing the bootloader. | 04:16 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: Have you created a BIOS boot partition? | 04:16 |
| wildbat | Omnifarious, pastebin the error? | 04:17 |
| Omnifarious | Jordan_U: Not exactly. There is a BIOS partition stating the entire drive is GPT. | 04:18 |

| Ashfire908 | My network icon is missing from my notification area. | 04:19 |

| Dargon | i dont like using killall :/ | 04:19 |
| AAA | ps auxwwww | 04:19 |
| Dargon | thnx aaa | 04:19 |
| oobe | #!bash | 04:19 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: There is no such thing as a BIOS partition, you are talking about the protective msdos partition. | 04:19 |
| blocky | what does it mean if dpkg says: tracker set to manually installed. | 04:20 |
| n2diy | Dargon: you can sort the way top list processes. | 04:20 |
| Ashfire908 | Sorry, I'm running 10.04, and I'd like to get the network icon back. | 04:20 |
| AAA | Jordan_U technically there are BIOS partitions, but that is not what he is talking about =p | 04:20 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | Ashfire908 | 04:20 |
| ubottu | Ashfire908: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:20 |
| Omnifarious | wildbat: http://pastebin.com/yxcseiXk | 04:21 |
| Jordan_U | AAA: What iis a BIOS partition? | 04:21 |
| AAA | Jordan_U a chip that has 2 separtate BIOS blocks/partitions. I've seen it on intel boards | 04:22 |
| Omnifarious | I was talking about the protective msdos partition. | 04:22 |
| ubuntu_ | Roasted: great question. Sorry I don't know. Just started playing w/ it myself. | 04:22 |
| Dargon | AAA, what flag to only display processes with a certain name? | 04:22 |
| AAA | Dargon I usually grep for what I want. ps auxwww | grep foo | 04:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Dargon: ps aux | grep -i certain-name | 04:23 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| Dargon | thnx guys | 04:23 |
| Omnifarious | Jordan_U: In order to make that BIOS parition thing you're talking about, I'm going to have to re-install. *sigh* | 04:23 |
| n2diy | Dargon: if you know the name of the process use killall process name. | 04:23 |
| Roasted | getting this error when I try to install phpmyadmin. http://pastebin.org/329209 any ideas? | 04:24 |
| psusi | eh? you talking about the grub bios boot partition for gpt partitioned disks? | 04:24 |
| AAA | Roasted looks like your password isn't correct | 04:24 |
| Dargon | also, when i installed ebox, it installed postgresql, will phpmyadmin work with mysql? | 04:25 |
| Dargon | err | 04:25 |
| Roasted | AAA I dont understand where the issue is. unless the PW is blank | 04:25 |
| AAA | Roasted can you log into to it from a shell? | 04:25 |
| Dargon | with postgresql | 04:25 |
| centr0 | i seem to have messed up my applications.menu can someone pastebin theirs pls? | 04:25 |
| centr0 | or a link where i can find the default one. | 04:25 |
| Roasted | AAA, log into what? | 04:25 |
| AAA | Roasted try logging into the phpmyadim database via mysql clit | 04:25 |
| AAA | s/clit/client | 04:25 |
| Roasted | AAA, I have no idea how to do that :( | 04:25 |
| Omnifarious | Jordan_U: I shouldn't actually need one. But I can see how grub might be getting confused enough to think so. | 04:26 |
| oobe | #*.* #q_p# #poop# #*.*# #poo | 04:26 |
| Omnifarious | After all, it's not obvious that all the blocks in /dev/md0 are also on /dev/sda | 04:26 |
| rww | centr0: "rm -r ~/.local/share/applications/" should reset your applications menu to the system default. | 04:26 |
| Ashfire908 | sebsebseb, That did not help. Now I have to add all the stuff back on that I changed. | 04:26 |
| AAA | Roasted is mysql installed? dpkg -l|grep mysql | 04:26 |
| redbaritone | Installed edubuntu 10.04 on a new server recently (to be used as an ltsp server). When installing updates, it asked if I wanted to proceed without installing grub. I did. How would grub help me? | 04:26 |
| redbaritone | It seems to work fine. | 04:26 |
| Roasted | AAA, yes its installed. | 04:27 |
| Omnifarious | This would be so much simpler if I used the BIOS RAID. But then I couldn't play around with btrfs RAID. | 04:27 |
| Dargon | AAA, can i run mysql alongside the postgresql that installed with ebox, or do i need to remove postgresql first? | 04:27 |
| Roasted | AAA, I have no termianl window open, yet synaptic is locked out. nice. | 04:27 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, pure soft raid is better supported than bios fake raid | 04:27 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: grub needs an area to embed its code for reading mdraid (as well as your ext4 filesystem). GPT does not have a post MBR gap like msdos labels often have, and so a BIOS boot partition is needed. | 04:27 |
| AAA | Roasted I don't have mysql handy, but something like mysqlshow<tab tab> show give you a list of mysqlshow commands tdhat will list your databases. look for the phpmyadmin one | 04:27 |
| === poutine is now known as Yahweh | ||
| edbian | redbaritone, grub is a boot loader. It allows the computer to turn on and find the operating systems on a hdd. | 04:28 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: Even with fakraid and gpt, you'd still need a BIOS boot partition. | 04:28 |
| Ashfire908 | Anyone else know how to get the network manager icon back (it's not it's own applet). | 04:28 |
| Roasted | AAA, to be honest, I'd just like to wipe what I have and start over, but somehow sql/php/whatever isnt liking that, whcih si when I ran into these issues. | 04:28 |
| AAA | Roasted then something like $ mysql -uroot -Dyourdatabase | 04:28 |
| Omnifarious | Jordan_U: *nod* I understand. In this particular case, since /dev/md0 is a RAID0, it can sort of treat /dev/md0 as if its only on /dev/sda while loading the .img file it needs. | 04:28 |
| edbian | Ashfire908, It's part of the notification are | 04:28 |
| Roasted | AAA, and now that synaptic cannot get the exclusive lock due to terminal (yet terminal is closed) I may have to reboot to get this running again | 04:28 |
| acovrig | can anyone help with a dansguardian configuration? | 04:28 |
| oobe | #*.* #q_p# #poop# #*.*# #poo #fuck# ##fuck## | 04:29 |
| edbian | Ashfire908, notification area* | 04:29 |
| redbaritone | edbian: so, If I ONLY need edubuntu, I'm fine without it? | 04:29 |
| Roasted | yeah. I'm going to reboot. and get a stiff drink. fking thing. brb | 04:29 |
| Omnifarious | Err, RAID1 | 04:29 |
| AAA | Roasted sounds like you have auto update or something going | 04:29 |
| edbian | Ashfire908, I can't tell you the number of people that come in here asking for that. | 04:29 |
| * Omnifarious grins sheepishly. | 04:29 | |
| psusi | Omnifarious, no, it can't... since md0 is a partition, not a disk | 04:29 |
| edbian | redbaritone, You need some bootloader on a hdd in order to boot operating systems on that hdd | 04:29 |
| n2diy | Ashfire908: right click on the panel, and select add? | 04:29 |
| edbian | redbaritone, grub is an example of a bootloader. | 04:29 |
| edbian | redbaritone, Does that answer your question? | 04:29 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: It just so happens that each and every single block on md0 actually corresponds directly to a block on /dev/sda | 04:29 |
| Ashfire908 | I've got the notification area already added! | 04:29 |
| Omnifarious | So yes, it could potentially generate the block list it needs. | 04:30 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, grub has to install the core image somewhere... usually it goes in the unused space between the mbr and the first partition of a disk | 04:30 |
| centr0 | rww: thanks ill try that. is there any way to log out of X through xterm/terminal? i seem to have lost my logout button as well :P | 04:30 |
| redbaritone | I'm getting it to boot fine. So I'm assuming I didn't need to upgrade. | 04:30 |
| merma | Ashfire908, nm-applet | 04:30 |
| rww | centr0: there should be a logout option in the System menu if you don't have a logout button on the panel. | 04:30 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, eh? how so? what is the raid setup here? | 04:30 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: Blocklists are unreliable though. | 04:30 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Well, it could also use a block list and store that in the MBR. | 04:30 |
| === joe__ is now known as joejc | ||
| centr0 | rww: thanks! | 04:31 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: RAID1, two disks. I've been finding that disks are giving out on me. | 04:31 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, block lists are prone to breakage and are depreciated in grub2 | 04:31 |
| edbian | Ashfire908, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1486103 see what hwttdz says in post #7 | 04:31 |
| * Omnifarious nods. | 04:31 | |
| redbaritone | edbian: thx | 04:31 |
| edbian | redbaritone, Yep! :) | 04:31 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, ok, so two disks in an md raid1... so what's the problem now? | 04:31 |
| Omnifarious | Time to painstakingly set up the fs layout again and re-isntall. | 04:32 |
| psusi | do bear with me, I am a bit drunk ;) | 04:32 |
| rww | don't drink and IRC, it ends badly ;P | 04:32 |
| n2diy | nah | 04:32 |
| psusi | hey, I'm drinking and trying to package the new upstream lvm2 on maverick, so... ;) | 04:33 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: grub won't install properly. I think it can't figure out that the blocks on md0 are also on /dev/sda where I want it to install. And since I'm using GPT it has to use block lists and to use those it has to know that the blocks are on the same disk its being installed on. | 04:33 |
| centr0 | hm, my applications menu did not change. :( | 04:33 |
| merma | great news for the lvm2 project | 04:33 |
| Jordan_U | redbaritone: Are you running Ubuntu in a VMware virtual machine? | 04:33 |
| owen1 | how to install ibus on xubuntu? | 04:33 |
| === Bas is now known as Bash_75 | ||
| sebsebseb | centr0: shut down and log out should be in the system menu, according to upstream Gnome :) thats also how other Desktop Linux distros still do it :) | 04:33 |
| redbaritone | Jodan_U: No | 04:33 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: so you been in menu editor playing around or? | 04:33 |
| psusi | I think I have the package on the run... it's compiled and built... now i just need to install it and reboot and pray to god it worked... and maybe I can finally make a snapshot before trying and upgrade and then if it goes tits up, revert easily | 04:34 |
| tucemiux | rww, did you leave? | 04:34 |
| centr0 | oh sebsebseb: i logged out to see if the changes i made would bring the default menu back but it didnt. | 04:34 |
| Roasted | AAA, still here? | 04:34 |
| Jordan_U | redbaritone: Can you pastebin the output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" ? | 04:34 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, How are you?? | 04:34 |
| sebsebseb | edbian: ok you? | 04:34 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, iirc, if you are using gpt, to install grub you have to have the bios boot partition | 04:34 |
| edbian | sebsebseb, Good, just helping others with linux! :) | 04:34 |
| Roasted | I just closed terminal, and tried to open synaptic, but it says I cannot get an exclusive lock for synaptic. Excuse my abbriviated language, but wtf? | 04:35 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, without gpt it installs the core image to the embed area... out of curiosity though, why are you using gpt? | 04:35 |
| Roasted | now I cant even apt-get remove/install via termianl either. Wow. Really ubuntu? | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: what is missing in applications menu? | 04:35 |
| tucemiux | Roasted, do you have the software center opened or installing another app right now? | 04:35 |
| Roasted | tucemiux, nope. | 04:35 |
| Roasted | nothing. | 04:35 |
| Roasted | I cant do anything now. sweet. | 04:35 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: if you go to system > preferences > main menu you can add stuff yourself | 04:36 |
| edbian | Roasted, You have some instance of the package manager open. It might be gui-less and frozen but it is there. look at ps -e to get a complete list of everything running | 04:36 |
| centr0 | everything, i accidentally deleted everything! lol | 04:36 |
| tucemiux | Roasted, then it must be some lock, do you get an error message asking you to perform a task when you run sudo apt-get update ? | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: have you got a system menu? | 04:36 |
| centr0 | thats just it.. i dont have a sys > pref | 04:36 |
| n2diy | Roasted: sounds like you have a stuck lock file in apt-get, track it down and delete it. | 04:36 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Because I think msdos partition tables are really dumb and archaic. :-) | 04:36 |
| Roasted | edbian, there's nothing running. | 04:36 |
| Roasted | n2diy, how | 04:36 |
| edbian | Roasted, ps -e | grep apt (might be helpful, takes the output of ps -e and only shows the lines that have apt in them) | 04:36 |
| Roasted | tucemiux, yes - when I opened synaptic it wanted me to run configure -a or whatever. I did. It errored out. | 04:36 |
| Pici | !aptfix | Roasted | 04:36 |
| ubottu | Roasted: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 04:36 |
| Roasted | fricken phpmyadmin | 04:36 |
| n2diy | Roasted: find your apt-get directory, and the lock file in it. | 04:36 |
| edbian | Roasted, I assure you there is. You can also sudo rm the lock file | 04:36 |
| Roasted | thats what's doing it | 04:36 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: yes with only help, about ubuntu, about gnome,lock screen, logout, shut down | 04:36 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: and no applications menu at all? | 04:37 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, ok... so you want to use gpt... check... I forget whether I am at this point or not... now... did you set up the grub bios boot partition? and I assume you are on a bios using pc not an EFI system? | 04:37 |
| Roasted | edbian, I booted up, opened terminal, closed terminal, opened synaptic, errored out. closed synaptic, opened terminal, errored out. If anything is running, *I* did not open it. | 04:37 |
| oobe | ok | 04:37 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: there is applications menu.. with nothing in it. when i try to right click it to 'edit menu' nothing pops up. | 04:37 |
| Pici | Roasted: Please see the suggestion from ubottu that I gave you. | 04:37 |
| Roasted | edbian, what do I look for with ps -e | 04:37 |
| edbian | Roasted, synaptic must not have closed completely (just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't running). Try sudo killall synaptic and then try again | 04:37 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: .config/menus/applications.menu is completely empty | 04:37 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: ok, but can you get into that main menu program? | 04:38 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: I didn't. I was hoping to use block lists, but I don't think that'll work so well in this case. | 04:38 |
| edbian | Roasted, ps -e lists all running processes look for anything with apt, synaptic, or dpkg | 04:38 |
| tucemiux | Roasted, try PIci's suggestion | 04:38 |
| psusi | it's been a few weeks since I looked at the grub2 code so I need to talk this out to make it come back to me... | 04:38 |
| Roasted | Pici, it errored out. | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: and you tried rww suggestion yeah, and didn't work? | 04:38 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: And anyway, it's being deprecated. :-) | 04:38 |
| Roasted | errors were encountered while processing - phpmyadmin | 04:38 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, block lists are bad... if you are going to use gpt, you should set up the bios partition ;) | 04:38 |
| Roasted | my god, why is phpadmuin being such a fing brat | 04:38 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: yes i tried rww's suggestion. that didnt work. | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: can you do this? system > preferences > main menu | 04:38 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: uhmm language | 04:39 |
| n2diy | Roasted: /etc/apt | 04:39 |
| Roasted | lol, sebsebseb???? | 04:39 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: *laugh* Yeah, I figured someone would say that. :_) | 04:39 |
| Roasted | n2diy, pardon? | 04:39 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: no. there is no 'preferences > main menu' | 04:39 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: got menu editor or something like that? | 04:39 |
| n2diy | Roasted:your lock file will be somewhere in /etc/apt | 04:39 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: You know, the Fedora channel contains a whole bunch of incredible jerks. | 04:39 |
| Roasted | omg synaptic opened | 04:39 |
| Omnifarious | I hate going there to ask any questions. | 04:40 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: i dont have one.. cant get the window to open when i try the 'edit menu' opt | 04:40 |
| Roasted | what do I do next. I dont want this system to brick again. should I do a complete removal of phpmyadmin? | 04:40 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, iirc, grub will fall back to block lists if it can't find an embed area on an msdos partition table... but I think it required the bios partition for gpt... either way, it's a good idea ;) | 04:40 |
| === rabidweezle is now known as Type-O | ||
| vern_ | is ubuntu have some app that can add dialog text box to video(avi) | 04:40 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: I think, in this case, its failing to fall back because it can't figure out that all the blocks on md0 are also on /dev/sda | 04:40 |
| === tyler is now known as Guest23120 | ||
| Omnifarious | psusi: Which, I will admit, would take a bit of work to figure out. | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: can you get into the terminal? | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: ok not with the menu, but theres another way | 04:41 |
| vern_ | some video editing can add dialog box in avi files? | 04:41 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: yes via 'create launcher , command: xterm' | 04:41 |
| edbian | Roasted, what worked (just for my personal knowledge) | 04:41 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: I am thinking make a new user in there, or recovery mode | 04:41 |
| Roasted | edbian, nothing worked, but magically synaptic was able to be opened again. | 04:41 |
| edbian | Roasted, mmm, ok | 04:42 |
| centr0 | new user is fine! i barely did anything.. just trying to setup dual monitors. | 04:42 |
| Roasted | edbian, Im just questioning if I can do a comlete removal of phpmyadmin now since its open. | 04:42 |
| centr0 | is it as simple as 'adduser'? | 04:42 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, wait... what is the layout again? sda and sdb are ach gpt disks with one raid partition and the two partitions form mirrors in a raid1? | 04:42 |
| edbian | Roasted, you should be able to | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: yes adduser | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: if you replace the correct hidden .folders in Gnome with clean ones, things are likely to work properly again | 04:42 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: this user is the default user that ubuntu logs on though.. is there anyway to change that? | 04:42 |
| Roasted | edbian, ha! sweet! it errored out! | 04:42 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: thats basically all I can think of | 04:42 |
| edbian | Roasted, ha ha | 04:42 |
| Roasted | E: phpmyadmin: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 04:42 |
| Roasted | WOW. Nice. | 04:42 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Yes. | 04:42 |
| edbian | Roasted, anything else in the error? | 04:43 |
| Roasted | how can I remove this package. Somebody. Please. | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: your other user can do sudo and such as well if set up | 04:43 |
| Roasted | thats it | 04:43 |
| Roasted | thats the entire error | 04:43 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Actually, they have two RAID partitions. One is for /boot and the other is for LVM. | 04:43 |
| Roasted | edbian, I get more info in terminal tho if I remove --purge it. want me to do that and paste it? | 04:43 |
| Dargon | !webmin | 04:43 |
| ubottu | 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. | 04:43 |
| edbian | Roasted, try fixing all packages: sudo aptitude install -f dont' | 04:43 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: does your name show on the top right panel? or can you go into | 04:43 |
| edbian | Roasted Don't blindly say yes but see what it wants to do and think about it. | 04:43 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, if you really want to use gpt, then you need to create the bios boot partition on the gpt disk... it doesn't really ... oh... you have a /boot... that's different | 04:43 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, do you have a /boot on both disks? | 04:44 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: nothing. i totally deleted that top bar. so anything that was there is not anymore ;P | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: I thin its system > administration > users and groups or something like that, not on Ubuntu right now | 04:44 |
| Dargon | anyone have success with webmin on debian? | 04:44 |
| edbian | Roasted, I think it probably just error-ed out because it was never installed correctly. You can though if you'd like. More info is always better. | 04:44 |
| Roasted | edbian, do I include the dont' at the end of that command? or is that command done at the f? | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: oh | 04:44 |
| Roasted | edbian, I just dont understand why I cant nuke it. Its BS. | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: well this command may work | 04:44 |
| sebsebseb | !panels | centr0 | 04:44 |
| ubottu | centr0: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 04:44 |
| edbian | Roasted, That dont' was a typo :) "sudo aptitude install -f" | 04:44 |
| Roasted | edbian, yeah, that errored out too. | 04:45 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Yes, but it's a RAID. :-) | 04:45 |
| Roasted | I figured it was just till the -f. Ive used that command before. | 04:45 |
| edbian | Roasted, Lemme see the errors from sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin at the term | 04:45 |
| Roasted | it says something about a password, yet I didnt set one up... | 04:45 |
| Roasted | sec | 04:45 |
| Roasted | uh crap. I got different errors this time... | 04:45 |
| edbian | Roasted, no offense but you must have a password ;) | 04:45 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb: everything just flickered. gonna try to log out and see if that did anything. if not ill just create a new user | 04:46 |
| Roasted | several files are locked | 04:46 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, ok, so you have two disks... each of which use gpt and have two partitions that are both linux md raid type members of raid1 volumes... one volume for / and one volume for /boot, is that correct? | 04:46 |
| Roasted | edbian, no, I dont. Here's what happened... | 04:46 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: ok | 04:46 |
| edbian | Roasted, You don't have a password for Ubuntu? How do you log in? | 04:46 |
| Roasted | edbian, I installed phpmyadmin because I wanted to set up a lamp server. I left everything default, and even left passwords blank becuase I wasnt SURE what I was doing yet. I went to log in to phpmyadmin and it errored out that it couldnt accept blank passwords. I thought, crap, maybe I needed to enter a password. So I removed phpmyadmin and reinstalled. When I added a PW this time, it bricked. | 04:46 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Essentially. Volume for LVM and volume for /boot, but same difference for this purpose. | 04:47 |
| === SuP|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away | ||
| n2diy | Roasted: the password for sudo is your user password. | 04:47 |
| Roasted | edbian, this is a password for phpmyadmin - NOT Ubuntu | 04:47 |
| Roasted | n2diy, I know. | 04:47 |
| ruben23 | hi how do i cehck the version of my ubuntu desktop if its 64 bit or 32 bit | 04:47 |
| Roasted | It's asking for the database password. Not the system PW | 04:47 |
| Roasted | edbian, how can I release locked files again? | 04:47 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, oh dear... so you have md0 = sda1 and sdb1, mirrored, which you are using as an lvm pv, and md1 = sda2 and sdb2, which you are using as /boot? | 04:47 |
| Roasted | I cant run this removal command cause 3 files are locked. | 04:47 |
| majuk | ruben23, uname -a | 04:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, You can either kill the processes that are using it or you can delete the lock file it's talking about. It's better to end the processes. | 04:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, Again, to get a list of processes ps -e | 04:48 |
| Jordan_U | Roasted: First, reboot just to be absolutely sure that no package manager is running. | 04:48 |
| Roasted | edbian, right. but someone gave me a command earlier that auto nuked them. | 04:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, to kill one with kill <pidNumber> or killall <processName> | 04:48 |
| tucemiux | majuk, so how can you tell if you have a 32 or 64 bit distro ? | 04:48 |
| edbian | Roasted, I'm not aware of a command like that. | 04:49 |
| Roasted | Jordan_U, I did, but once I get terminal OR synaptic running after a fresh reboot, the same issues come back. Im working on a fresh reboot right now. | 04:49 |
| phobos_anomaly | tucemiux: uname -a | 04:49 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Other way around. sda1 + sdb1 = /boot | 04:49 |
| majuk | tucemiux, uname -a | 04:49 |
| Chaos`Eternal | break-in | 04:49 |
| Jordan_U | Roasted: Ok, then just "rm" the lock file. | 04:49 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: And sda2 + sdb2 = LVM | 04:49 |

| Roasted | wow. | 04:50 |
| Chaos`Eternal | any body know whether there exists some quick solution to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/566149 | 04:50 |
| ruben23 | skype i 386 cannot install on ubuntu desktop x86_64 | 04:50 |
| majuk | tucemiux, Then you're on 32bit | 04:50 |
| Vkec | Im currently trying to print from windows to a linux printer. How to i do this? | 04:50 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, why have a separate /boot? I run without one | 04:50 |
| sebsebseb | !samba | Vkec | 04:51 |
| ubottu | Vkec: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 04:51 |
| majuk | ruben23, i386 = 32bit. You are running 64bit, as x86_64 indicates | 04:51 |
| Roasted | edbian, http://pastebin.org/329249 | 04:51 |
| tucemiux | majuk, so how can you tell if you have a 32 or 64 bit distro ? | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | Vkec: wrong factoid I guess | 04:51 |
| Roasted | edbian, new errors, unrelated to what I saw before | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | !cups | Vkec | 04:51 |
| ubottu | Vkec: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:51 |
| Vkec | Last time used samba it never worked | 04:51 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: Because I like putting / in LVM. And I wanted to see if I could put / on btrfs which grub doesn't yet support. | 04:51 |
| phobos_anomaly | tucemiux: you just found out that you are on a 32 bit distro | 04:51 |
| sebsebseb | !skype | ruben23 | 04:52 |
| ubottu | ruben23: 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 | 04:52 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: And with Fedora, the way I install new versions uses the same /boot and creates a brand new / so I can continue to boot the old version when I'm done. | 04:52 |
| Flamekebab | Is there any way to use a different version of GDM that allows custom themes? | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: yes, but not in the repo and so on | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: also KDM is rather nice :) | 04:52 |
| edbian | Roasted, those files are not locked by the package manager. I'm not sure what they're locked by. No wonder we're having problems. Files are only "locked" because a process is running. Since you're getting the errors from trying to purge phpmyadmin I suspect that is what is running. Why not try ending that and then purging? | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: oh and you could install the old GDM, but well | 04:52 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: not so easy as to just install it | 04:53 |
| Flamekebab | sebsebseb, I'm using the current 10.04 version of GDM | 04:53 |
| Roasted | edbian, I have no idea how to nuke phpmyadmin. Ive never used it before. let me try ps and see if I can find it | 04:53 |
| edbian | Roasted, good call | 04:53 |
| Flamekebab | It annoys me that I can't customise it beyond the background image | 04:53 |
| Roasted | edbian, yeah, its not in ps. should I be using top? | 04:53 |
| edbian | Roasted, usually sudo killall phpmyadmin is a safe guess | 04:53 |
| Roasted | edbian, ps only has 2 things listed | 04:53 |
| edbian | Roasted, ps -e | 04:53 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: when I said yes, I was thinking Grub 2 for some reason | 04:53 |
| Roasted | no process found | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: GDM 2 can't just be themed | 04:54 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, ahh, true... grub doesn't support btrfs... ok... so your /boot partition is mirrored, and then you have a single lvm pv that is mirrored.. hrm... | 04:54 |
| tucemiux | phobos_anomaly, thanks, majuk just broke it down for me in a PM | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: you can change the background thats about it | 04:54 |
| edbian | Roasted, ps is just processes using the processor at that moment by you | 04:54 |
| Roasted | edbian, found one - phpmyadmin.post. when I killall phpmyadmin.post, says no process found. lol? | 04:54 |
| Flamekebab | sebsebseb, so are the advantages of GDM2 all under the hood? | 04:54 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: basically yeah, well to be honest, what advantages as an end user? | 04:54 |
| Roasted | how can I kill via pid? | 04:54 |
| edbian | Roasted, can you kill it by process id? | 04:55 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, ok, so yea... you should be able to swing that... provided that you have a grub bios boot partition, if you insist on using gpt instead of msdos disk lables | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: GDM 2 exists since the developers felt like re writeing it basically | 04:55 |
| edbian | Roasted, The numbers listed are the pid's, you just kill <pid> | 04:55 |
| majuk | Roasted, kill `pidof VLCISPLAYINGLOLPORN` | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: it has offered me no advantage at all over the old GDM | 04:55 |
| sidney | http://listwit.org | 04:55 |
| majuk | Those are backticks, fyi | 04:55 |
| Roasted | edbian, operation not permitted. | 04:55 |
| Roasted | sudo kill? | 04:55 |
| Omnifarious | psusi: *grin* Yes. As I said, I was hoping grub could use block lists. But that would require it figure out that all blocks on md0 are also blocks on sda. | 04:55 |
| edbian | Roasted, sudo ;) | 04:55 |
| Flamekebab | Is it possible to revert to the old version so I can have customised themes again? | 04:55 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: yes, but not as simple as just installing and using, so may as well try KDM :) | 04:56 |
| Flamekebab | I don't like the removal of customisation options, it's ridiculous | 04:56 |
| Roasted | edbian, could apache be interfering with phpmyadmin? | 04:56 |
| Flamekebab | I'll try install KDM | 04:56 |
| majuk | Roasted, Yea, if its not a process your user started, you'll have to sudo. Run the normal 'pidof $PROGRAMNAME' first | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: indeed GDM 2 sucks | 04:56 |
| majuk | Make sure it spits out a good PID, otherwise you're spinning your wheels | 04:56 |
| Roasted | majuk, gotcha. thanks. | 04:56 |
| edbian | Roasted, no idea. Never set them up. I mean they do work together but you should be able to remove phpmyadmin without affecting apache at all. | 04:56 |
| Roasted | a good pid? | 04:56 |
| psusi | Omnifarious, yea... which is neigh impossible to do reliabley, so iirc, they refuse to do it... if you are using gpt partitions, and tell grub to install to sda, it must have a bios boot partition to put the core image into | 04:56 |
| Flamekebab | How do I choose KDM over GDM? I've got it installed | 04:56 |
| majuk | Roasted, /A/ pid | 04:56 |
| Roasted | edbian, let me try removing it again... | 04:56 |
| majuk | As versus none, if it can't find the program name you specify | 04:56 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: KDM KDE Display Manager, so will want to put on quite a bit of KDE stuff, if you haven't already got at least one KDE app installed, but ah well this is not WIndows, this is designed to have many programs installed :) | 04:57 |
| Roasted | edbian, still erroring out. | 04:57 |
| Roasted | wow | 04:57 |
| Roasted | wheres the bottle at... | 04:57 |
| Flamekebab | sebsebseb, I've got it installed, dude | 04:57 |
| Flamekebab | How do I activate it? | 04:57 |
| edbian | Roasted, Same errors? | 04:57 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: when you installed kdm it should have asked yo which one to use GDM or KDM | 04:57 |
| Roasted | edbian, yes, locked by another process, etc. | 04:58 |
| sebsebseb | Flamekebab: and you go for KDM obviosuly | 04:58 |
| Roasted | let me rm them | 04:58 |
| Jordan_U | Omnifarious: You're going to need to grab the grub-pc and grub-common packages from either maverick or debian unstable to use btrfs on / (for grub-mkconfig, not booting itself) | 04:58 |

| Dargon | http://pastebin.com/4viXd6kd | 05:01 |

| Roasted | edbian, I didnt realize synaptic had a reinstall option. I hit reinstall, then removed it, then "completely" removed it. | 05:01 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: now I think you would need recovery mode, or a Live CD, to give that new user sudo, but I don't know the commands also | 05:01 |
| Roasted | no errors | 05:01 |
| centr0 | sebsebseb, ill try recovery.. i got the cmd. thanks for the help though! | 05:02 |
| edbian | Roasted, awesome! "that was easy" | 05:02 |
| sebsebseb | centr0: you know which command to use? | 05:02 |
| Roasted | edbian, is there a reinstall command via terminal? | 05:02 |
| edbian | Roasted, IDK, probably | 05:02 |

| droopal | Hi, I am having problems with Facebooks photo uploader, its something to do with java not starting. | 05:24 |
| n2diy | droopal: check the prefrences in your browser. | 05:25 |
| droopal | I just found out it could be a problem with the simlink for java not being in /usr/lib/mozilla but I dont understand what that means. | 05:25 |
| droopal | I'm using Google Chrome | 05:26 |
| droopal | it seems there is a bug | 05:26 |
| n2diy | droopal: check the prefrences in your browser. | 05:26 |
| droopal | cant you explain what i need to check? | 05:26 |
| n2diy | droopal: check the prefrences in your browser. | 05:26 |
| droopal | ok, but I dont know what it is I am supposed to be checking. | 05:27 |
| n2diy | droopal: go to menu edit/prefrences in your browser. | 05:27 |

| n2diy | droopal: what about under edit? | 05:29 |
| droopal | I have checked that, and I ahve found it its the cimlink | 05:29 |
| droopal | but how do I add a simlink for java in that directory | 05:29 |
| droopal | there is no edit drop down menu in google chrome | 05:30 |

| zkriesse | droopal: Please have patience | 05:32 |
| zkriesse | droopal: And don't get discouraged right away | 05:33 |

| spezticle | dannoffs: define menu's, open with applications, etc. currently i can only assign open with rules to 'folder' not individual devices. | 05:46 |
| plymouth | n2diy: doesn't seem to work - i mean it still asks for l/p when i connect to it, and the factory dfault 'admin' and 'admin' dont let me through | 05:46 |
| karmst | Does anyone know of a way to create a deduplication storage array / folder? | 05:46 |
| hiexpo | hold on to the spark plug wire :) | 05:46 |
| histo | plymouth: usually they have a reset button that you have to push with a pen. To reset to factory settings | 05:46 |
| dannoffs | spezticle: have you tried changing settings with gconf? | 05:47 |
| dannoffs | spezticle: or just going through the preference menu? | 05:47 |
| majuk | karmst, 'Deduplication'? Are you trying to back up all of / or something? | 05:47 |
| karmst | I want to backup the entire server farm | 05:47 |
| wildbat | !backup | 05:48 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 05:48 |
| majuk | karmst, Ah, I see. Uhhh, I believe tar can throw out duplicate files, so you could tell it to just output its file list that it would compress with those options enabled | 05:48 |
| majuk | Then use the output to construct an array of sorts. | 05:49 |
| spezticle | the preferences menu doesn't individualize. it's only for all location types. setting open with basero for memory cards sets open with for everything like when i click on places/home it opens with brasero then | 05:49 |
| wildbat | plymouth, it should have a reset "button"/hole ~ | 05:49 |
| majuk | That's my best solution. Sorry man. :D | 05:49 |
| wildbat | plymouth, have a toothpick or paperclip poke it for 5 sec | 05:49 |
| hiexpo | plymouth, rightclick on net-work manager see what eth your on you have to assign a static ip to it no dhcp | 05:49 |
| spezticle | dannoffs: and i'm not sure how to edit with gconf. is it command line? | 05:49 |
| Flamekebab | Any ideas why Ubuntu has started asking for a password to my keyring when I login? | 05:50 |

| wildbat | Flamekebab, messnger tools? | 05:51 |
| hiexpo | upon every reboot ubuntu goes up one every boot eth 1 2 3 4 etc so ifyou assigned a static ip before than rebooted it will no longer apply because your not on thateth anymore bet thats the problem there most miss that one | 05:51 |
| Jordan_U | hiexpo: Are you asking a question? | 05:53 |
| majuk | hiexpo, Do /what/ now? | 05:53 |

| Pr3nt1c3 | yeah spezticle.... but will that mean I have xfxce as my boot-in desktop? | 06:23 |
| hiexpo | is thatwhat xxx.xxx your are refering to is ip? | 06:24 |
| sylz | join #ubuntu-cn | 06:24 |
| n2diy | hiexpo: yes | 06:24 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, ok, can you right click on the panel (where there are no icons) and then click on "add to panel" then fin "notification area" and add it | 06:24 |
| spezticle | Pr3nt1c3: if you install install xubuntu-desktop and remove ubuntu-desktop gnome should be no more on your system | 06:24 |
| Mahdi | spezticle : Thanks ... but if my memory become full ,ubuntu will be very very slow and I cannot move the mouse to close some programs !!! | 06:25 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | nice | 06:25 |
| Mahdi | spezticle : and ubuntu does not use any of swap space ! | 06:25 |
| gaysquirrel | binaryme, ok done | 06:25 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, do you see the bluetooth icon now? | 06:26 |
| spezticle | Mahdi: well, i don't know enough about the memory systems working with ubuntu. i just know that i thought the same thing you did, it seemed like it was eating my ram, but i found out it's supposed to be that way | 06:26 |
| gaysquirrel | binaryme, nope lol | 06:27 |
| * tertl3 eats RAM for his 4th meal | 06:27 | |
| hiexpo | n2diy, - see i get error no such device because i don't have eth0 anymore i am on eth59 now | 06:27 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, ok, there is another one called "indicator applet", try that | 06:27 |
| Mahdi | spezticle : Is there a system monitor software better than System Monitor ? I wanna find memory consuming processes :D | 06:27 |
| n2diy | hiexpo: ok, so sub. eth59 for eth0 | 06:28 |
| spezticle | Mahdi: i dont know personally. system monitor works well enough for me so i haven't looked for an alternative | 06:28 |
| spezticle | Mahdi: i'm sure there is though | 06:28 |
| moetunes | Mahdi: in terminal do top | 06:28 |
| gaysquirrel | binaryme, ok i see it | 06:29 |
| spezticle | Mahdi: use the ubuntu software center and search for memory monitor or something like that? | 06:29 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, left click it and see if you can "browse files on device" | 06:29 |
| * wildbat execute kill -9 tertl3, RAM is free again. | 06:30 | |
| gaysquirrel | binaryme, sweet figured it out man i love u lol | 06:30 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, no worries. enjoy! | 06:30 |

| DanZ3 | Hi, I just installed wubi and am now installing updates. Something popped up asking me if I want to continue installing grub. What should I do? | 06:31 |
| nUboon2Age | hiexpo: that's what my /etc/network/interfaces file has also. | 06:31 |
| gbear14275 | Is it possible to setup a VM to have a public facing IP when you only have 1 IP to assign? I want to put a webserver on a headless server | 06:31 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, there's a bit of a learning curve, but stick with it! it's worth it! | 06:31 |
| zhangyahui | 19810205 | 06:32 |
| gbear14275 | which is a VM (sorry add to previous sentance) | 06:32 |
| hiexpo | nUboon2Age, ya i guess thats common | 06:32 |
| gbear14275 | I've been spending hours trying to figure out how to do PCI passthrough so I can passthrough a NIC but am wondering if there is an easier way | 06:32 |

| binaryme | gaysquirrel, well, if you are adventurous and (once you are more comportable with ubuntu), you could try loading an LXDE version or other 'light' version... it will run much better on an old machine | 06:35 |
| nUboon2Age | gaysquirrel: 726 isn't too bad for ram. I was running w/ 238 before. Now at 1gb I feel like I'm in heaven. | 06:36 |

| anthony | he guy's what can you say about the Ubuntu 10.10... what do you think... | 06:44 |
| gaysquirrel | binaryme, whats the package name for netbook remix | 06:45 |
| alabd | Pr3nt1c3: where is high contrast | 06:45 |
| n2diy | nUboon2Age: roger that, I'm pretty much maxed out on ram here, 512m, I'm on 8.04, and thinking about upgrading, but my test box lost a hard drive, so until that is rebuilt, I'm sitting tight. | 06:46 |
| nUboon2Age | gaysquirrel: in 10.04 its not remix anymore, its netbook Edition. | 06:46 |
| gaysquirrel | so then whats the packagename | 06:46 |
| binaryme | gaysquirrel, "ubuntu-netbook-remix" | 06:46 |
| Pr3nt1c3 | umm... sys->pref->appearance should give you good options | 06:46 |
| wise_crypt | anthony: that is out of supporting topic chek #ubuntu-offtopic for that | 06:46 |

| Jhonata | nUboon2Age understand | 06:52 |
| nUboon2Age | n2diy: but one small thing about xubuntu that was really annoying and I think would be very tough on newbies was the crazy disappearing panels problem. Is that better now? | 06:53 |

| s73v3r | i read the article | 07:02 |
| Fudge | nUboon2Age yeah in gnome installing the hardware dirvers, but if i want to do that i have to have it wired which means moving it | 07:02 |
| nUboon2Age | Fudge: I have a similar situation, but the first time I didn't record the steps and had to go through it all again. | 07:02 |

| xtris | hi, I have installed ubuntu 10.04.iso on my USB drive using universal usb installer. When i run the Ubuntu 'Installer boot menu' on my pc, the ubuntu boot screen appears, "I click Run Ubuntu from this USB" - it then shows: /casper/vmlinuz noprompt cdrom-detect/try-usb=true presistent file=/cdrom/pres/casper/vmlinuz etc... | 07:07 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, sometimes you need to adjust settings in you computer BIOS to enable VM extensions | 07:07 |
| s73v3r | doh. Apparently the motherboard was set to boot from the wrong drive | 07:07 |
| paranoidphreak | Jordan_U: so, there's no way i can do this without getting a new system that supports hardware virtualization? | 07:08 |
| Jordan_U | alabd: System > Preferences > Appearance. Choose the Theme tab, then choose the "human" theme. That changes more than just the "color scheme" but I think it's still probably what you want. | 07:08 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: sudo apt-get install iommu | 07:08 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: i dont believe my system supports virtualization | 07:08 |
| alabd | Jordan_U: no color scheme of 9.10 is good for black&white images | 07:09 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, then, unfortunately, you may have to stick with 32bit virtual machines | 07:09 |
| Jordan_U | paranoidphreak: You can use "qemu-system-x86_64" for a 64 bit virtual machine, but it will be very slow. | 07:10 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: yeah, thats not a package | 07:11 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, how much memory (RAM) does your system have? | 07:11 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: what is it then? | 07:11 |
| paranoidphreak | Jordan_U, binaryme: thanks for the info; hate intel, i've seen alot of amd system's that supoort virtualization | 07:11 |
| n2diy | ! iommu | 07:11 |
| Jordan_U | paranoidphreak: Actually, check your BIOS settings before giving up entirely. | 07:12 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: about 4 gigs | 07:12 |
| gbear14275 | IOMMU is the AMD version of VT-d that intel put out from what I can tell. Supposedly you have to enable it in BIOS but I'm finding people telling me to put it into my grub conf... would love to just know how to figure out if its on already though | 07:12 |
| gbear14275 | its a virtualization !iommu | 07:12 |
| gbear14275 | oops... | 07:12 |

| n2diy | gbear1is it in the system boot bios? | 07:13 |
| paranoidphreak | Jordan_U: i checked the info about virtualization long time ago regarding my system and it doesn't support it | 07:13 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, The benefits of 64 only really com into play if you have more tha 4Gig (per OS), so you are not going to get a lot of benefit on that PC anyway | 07:14 |
| Jordan_U | xtris: "not working" in what way? What does happen? | 07:14 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: its not in the boot bios menu... but I'm not sure that means anything to be honest | 07:14 |

| totonka | have to go, quit | 07:15 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: I'm googling it now, looks like it lives o a virtual box? | 07:15 |
| wildbat | paranoidphreak, it DO support 64bit.~ are your MB having correct setting? ~ are you running 64bit OS? | 07:16 |
| xtris | Jordan_U: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 using my usb drive, when i launch the installer boot menu - it says Auto boot in 5 seconds -- it does nothing. I hit 'Run Ubuntu from this USB' -- nothing shows up | 07:16 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: this is more for KVM support than virtualbox but I'm sure it has relation there as well... I think it goes to support hardware passthrough to VM's (which is why I'm interested in it) | 07:16 |
| Mefached | So I installed 10.04, but all that I can hear from my headphones is an airy whine. | 07:16 |
| Mefached | Like the noise a TV makes when turned to the wrong channel | 07:16 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: oh...i just want to run windows 7 in vm. currently, i'm running xp | 07:17 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, and you have a 64bit version of Win7 i gather? | 07:17 |
| paranoidphreak | wildbat: oh.... :), i'm currently running 64bit ubuntu | 07:18 |
| BOyen | who are wine developer here in ubuntu | 07:18 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: yeah, 64bit windows | 07:18 |
| ikonia | BOyen: what is your question | 07:19 |
| [Screamo] | Can some please help me? | 07:19 |
| paranoidphreak | wildbat: what do you mean MB having correct settings? | 07:19 |
| BOyen | my starcraft doesnt work in wine... and thats my biggest problem | 07:19 |
| ikonia | [Screamo]: what is the question | 07:19 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, ok, I see your problem..... It seems a little on to me that you PC doesn't support it if is capable of runnung a 64bit OS??? | 07:20 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, on = odd | 07:20 |
| BOyen | you the hardware of my PC? | 07:20 |
| [Screamo] | When i use prop. drivers for my nvidia card, i cant use my monitors highest reolution | 07:20 |
| BOyen | you meant the hardware of my PC? | 07:20 |
| BOyen | running 64 bits? | 07:21 |
| wildbat | paranoidphreak, you can try vmware see if it help with 64-bit guest OS | 07:21 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, is it worth double checking your bios for the option... I know it is often of by default. | 07:21 |
| anon_ | how would i use special characters in linux? in windoze it's alt+ numbers to designate a character | 07:21 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: sorry, don't see anything that helps, if you google Ubuntu iommu, maybe you will find what you need? | 07:21 |
| [Screamo] | ikonia any ideas? | 07:21 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: been doing it all night :-? | 07:21 |
| ikonia | [Screamo]: what are you calling the "proper" drivers ? | 07:21 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: i went to this page: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37253 and it says it doesn't support VT-X | 07:21 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, there is a setting in virtualbox that relates to this too. | 07:21 |
| BOyen | do i need to format my ubuntu again? | 07:22 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: :/ | 07:22 |
| [Screamo] | ikonia, by prop. i ment proprietary | 07:22 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: thanks for looking though man! | 07:22 |
| ikonia | [Screamo]: from the hardware drivers menu ? | 07:22 |
| [Screamo] | ikonia yes | 07:22 |
| ikonia | [Screamo]: what card is it ? have you checked it's supportability ? | 07:22 |
| binaryme | paranoidphreak, ok, well, I guess that kinda kills the idea then? Can you get hold a 32bit version of WIn7? | 07:22 |
| n2diy | gbear14275: np, I was curious, having never heard of it. | 07:23 |

| BOyen | my friend of mine play his starcraft on wine... in my pc i doesnt play my starcraft using wine | 07:23 |
| [Screamo] | ikonia how would i find out what card is without looking at it? | 07:24 |
| gbear14275 | n2diy: so was trying to figure out if I had VT-d support | 07:24 |
| gbear14275 | am still trying to figure out if I do | 07:24 |

| gbear14275 | spoonb: Is there anyway to probe to see if its enabled already? | 07:27 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: not @ the moment; i'm screwed. i guess i'll stick with xp for now and when i plan on getting a new system; i'm going to make sure it has virtualisation features. probably getting an amd system (more bang for the money) | 07:27 |
| paranoidphreak | binaryme: thanks for your help anyways | 07:28 |
| wildbat | paranoidphreak, oh ~ a 64bit cpu but w/o VT-x that's hurts.... hmmm what intel was thinking...., ~ you can't run 64bit guest then i get | 07:29 |
| wildbat | s/get/guess/ | 07:29 |
| spoonb | gbear14275: give me a sec to poke around on this comp which I have it enabled | 07:29 |

| gbear14275 | spoonb: but i think I can look up the twin on amds side | 07:35 |
| wildbat | xtris, did check your iso against checksum? | 07:35 |
| xtris | no, how do i do that? | 07:36 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: I have the vme flags... that mean vt-d is possible? | 07:36 |
| binaryme | gbear14275, having a look at "man kvm-ok" may help... | 07:36 |
| nick_ | ok, basically I installed Ubuntu Server 10.4, have 2 x 500GB drives on them 2 x 500MB partitions non-raid, for grub (booting from one of them), 2 x 4GB for swap (RAID 0), 2 x rest of the drives for / (RAID 0), the installation was successful, but after restart it went to BusyBox, grub menu didn't show up | 07:36 |
| Sam_Fisher | Howdy Ya'll | 07:36 |
| spoonb | Well.. no.. it means kms is possible | 07:36 |
| gbear14275 | !kms | 07:37 |
| sikun | I have a emachine em250 netbook, which is identical to the acer aspire d250, my question is i'm trying to find out what temp the cpu is running at, but in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM , temperature only reads at 27C and does not change | 07:37 |

| Sam_Fisher | sikun, have you tried it after boot from a cold system? | 07:38 |
| spoonb | Yes it is and needs to be enable in the kernel. | 07:38 |
| dart | help...when i type sudo nautilus i get this error...Nautilus could not create the required folder "/root/.config/nautilus" | 07:38 |
| Livingroom | aaa: cant find an atheros comment in the kismet.conf OR the kismet "README" what should i do | 07:38 |
| sikun | Sam_Fisher, yeah i have even on a cold boot it is 27C right away | 07:38 |
| ray__ | d | 07:38 |
| spoonb | Do you build your kernels or prepackaged? | 07:38 |
| nick_ | booted from ubuntu live cd - it shows me the drives individually (Disk Manager) but under the RAID/LVM section I have only 1 array showing and it says "Not running, not enought components to start" | 07:38 |

| somebody_ | my installer hangs at 79% does anyone know why? | 07:38 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: prepacakged :-/ | 07:38 |
| spoonb | qbear14275: Let me see what the module would be real quick | 07:39 |
| spoonb | I'll have to look it up in the .config | 07:39 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, are you worried it is to hot or just curious? | 07:39 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: I've read about alot of stuff happeinng in the grub .config but I don't know how to enable it | 07:39 |

| prince_jammys | dart: ''gksudo nautilus'' | 07:40 |
| wildbat | nick_, the LIVE_CD don't ahve the drivers for RAID i think. | 07:40 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: this all talks to the error messages IOMMU states on startup: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6855830&postcount=88 | 07:40 |
| AAA | Livingroom lsmod | grep madwifi | 07:40 |

| somebody_ | my installer hangs at 79% does anyone know why? | 07:41 |
| spoonb | However I dont always use it since it is buggy | 07:41 |
| AAA | Livingroom lsmod | grep ath | 07:41 |
| Livingroom | i do see something labeled "ATH" and "ATH5K" in the regular LSMOD, | 07:41 |
| xtris | wildbat: i checked the md5 sum, mine is incorrect | 07:42 |
| Sam_Fisher | dart, type sudo space and then na and then TAB to let it spell it correctly. I always spell it wrong. | 07:42 |
| Livingroom | yeah there's something labeled "ATH", AAA. ill try that | 07:42 |
| wildbat | nick_, you have to rescue/ reinstall grub from alternate CD, and drop to root shell to do so | 07:42 |
| AAA | Livingroom ok, do you have an ath0 as an ifconifg? | 07:42 |
| Livingroom | no, i have a wlan0 | 07:42 |
| wildbat | xtris, you have a bad Download then redownload and check again until it matches | 07:42 |
| yiwan | try sudo ifup | 07:42 |
| dart | Sam_Fisher, hey is spelled it correctly...still | 07:43 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, well then we need to figure this out! You need a graphical toolbar so you can keep an eye on it. | 07:43 |
| xtris | wildbat: alrighty, thx a lot :) | 07:43 |
| Jordan_U | wildbat: nick_: Grub is working fine if you get to busybox, so re-installing grub won't help. | 07:43 |
| spoonb | gbear14275: Do you not have access to your BIOS? Even the kernel description says to check the bios for an option to enable it. | 07:43 |
| Sam_Fisher | dart, OK worth a try. Did GKsudo help? | 07:43 |
| AAA | Livingroom what is the wifi chip? look at $ lspci <-- see if you can tell what the wifi chip is, and paste it | 07:43 |

| Sam_Fisher | dart, have you tried rebooting X Cntrl Alt Backpsace? I have seen that error before I just can't place it exactly | 07:47 |
| n2diy | industrial: is it in your sessions menu at the log in prompt? | 07:47 |
| industrial | thats whaty im saying | 07:48 |
| spoonb | For reverence if you use make menuconfig in that directory you will get a ncurses based program to build a kernel | 07:48 |
| industrial | its not cause its not a package | 07:48 |
| industrial | its not in there how do i put it there | 07:48 |
| spoonb | You can learn alot in there. | 07:48 |
| dart | Sam_Fisher, i alrdy rebooted :( | 07:48 |
| jaldhar | is there some problem with the latest flashplugin-nonfree update? Now I can't use it in konqueror at all and firefox hangs every second or third time | 07:48 |

| sikun | Sam_Fisher, ok i just installed Xsensors, I have it open and right now it just shows a temp, and that is 26.8C | 07:48 |
| spoonb | Unfortunatly I dont know where the .config file is for those prebuilt kernels are. | 07:48 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: yeah I saw those commands in the howto... but i didn't know how to do that | 07:48 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, man am I good or what! | 07:48 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, just kidding | 07:48 |
| spoonb | You may not need too, but there are alot of descriptions in there to learn. | 07:49 |
| Sam_Fisher | I guess now wait and see if it goes up or down? | 07:49 |
| alabd | nUboon2Age: yes it works but not usefull for black and white paper | 07:49 |
| Livingroom | aaa: did you get that? | 07:49 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: I probably don't want to learn how to build my own kernels tonight I'm guessing | 07:49 |
| Baribal_ | Hi. It turns out I make my swap partition too small. Is there a tool that can resize partitions without wiping them? | 07:49 |
| AAA | Livingroom yeah, I was just about to suggest that :) good work | 07:49 |
| spoonb | No I wouldn't it taks some trail and error. | 07:49 |
| Sam_Fisher | Is rebooting the same as Ctrl ALt Backspace? | 07:49 |
| n2diy | industrial: have you tried running it in terminal? | 07:49 |
| nUboon2Age | alabd: and what was it that you were looking for? | 07:50 |
| Livingroom | aaa: it always bothers me when i have to ask for help :( thanks very much! | 07:50 |
| Jordan_U | Baribal_: Yes, reboot with the Ubuntu (or any other) LiveCD and use gparted. | 07:50 |
| Baribal_ | Thanks. | 07:50 |
| jaldhar | spoonb: l.config is in linux-kbuild-<kernel version> afaik | 07:50 |
| WalterN | ok, I'm looking into building a new computer... which brings me to the classic question, ATI vs nvidia for driver support | 07:50 |
| Sam_Fisher | Nvidia! | 07:50 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: in some of the howto's they mention this: "add iommu=noaperture at the end of the line in /boot/grub/menu.lst starting with #defoptions. then do sudo update-grub and, finally reboot ..." we couldn't do something similar for that config change too could we? | 07:50 |
| sikun | Sam_Fisher, the temp doesn't change though | 07:50 |
| nick_ | wildbat, where grub gets its mount configuration from (e.g. fstab) | 07:50 |
| Sam_Fisher | Dual screen in a few minutes with Nvidia | 07:50 |
| gbear14275 | anyone know where the config's for the default kernels are? | 07:50 |
| industrial | n2diy: I know it is installed and it will probably work (or not in which case ill recompile) but its not a UBUNTU package so it has no install scripts extra for GDM so it doesnt appear in GDM. How do I put it in the GDM list? | 07:50 |
| WalterN | is NVIDIA still that much better with their linux drivers? | 07:51 |
| spoonb | jaldhar awesome! But what subdirectory. I am not on a ubun currently | 07:51 |
| Jordan_U | gbear14275: For grub2 change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub and update-grub | 07:51 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, what is the operation range for that puter? 27C seems ok to me | 07:51 |
| nick_ | wildbat, so I should boot in busybox and try mount the root from there? | 07:51 |
| n2diy | industrial: don't know, I'm not running Gnome, sorry. | 07:52 |
| Sam_Fisher | SIP phone? Softphones? Linksys Pap2? | 07:52 |
| spoonb | Well qbear14275 yes you can but that is only if the option is available in the kernel. I suspect it is but I was trying to confirm it. | 07:52 |
| wildbat | nick_, yes see if you can mount it or what error you got | 07:52 |
| industrial | n2diy: derp, so I'm still at my original question | 07:52 |
| wildbat | nick_, grub don't mount fses | 07:52 |
| spoonb | I would look up and kernel cmd before passing them though | 07:53 |
| alabd | nUboon2Age: looking for a black and white theme to be printed in a train hard book ,because book is black&white | 07:53 |
| triaspia | hey there, wondering if someone could help me, having a little trouble connecting to my wpa2-personal wireless connection, it wont see the network and doesnt connect if i put the details in as if it were a hidden network (only just installed ubuntu 10.04 and have next to no idea what im doing at this point) | 07:53 |
| spoonb | You DO need to enable IOMMU with a cmd arg though | 07:53 |
| nick_ | wildbat, will try now boot into busybox and mount the root | 07:53 |
| industrial | 4 | 07:53 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, do you run Gnome? Computertemp applet logs changes | 07:53 |
| gbear14275 | Jordan_U, spoonb: thats the place to put it though? And how would I check if it works after a reboot? | 07:54 |
| spoonb | It is somewhat experimental and like I siad crashes me sometime | 07:54 |
| Sam_Fisher | sikun, Mine is 56 C | 07:54 |
| Livingroom | aaa: now i get to learn to use kismet lol | 07:54 |
| nUboon2Age | alabd: you can get additional themes at http://www.gnome-look.org and http://art.gnome.org and other places... | 07:54 |
| spoonb | Yes kernel cmd arguments should be passed with grub you boatloader | 07:54 |
| Livingroom | aaa: do you have any idea how to tie kismet into aircrack? lol. i have some more howtos to raed | 07:54 |
| Livingroom | aaa: *read | 07:55 |
| spoonb | The arguement will vary with the processer. | 07:55 |
| industrial | How do I add items in the list of windowmanagers in GDM? I compiled dwm in my homedir but can't select it. | 07:55 |
| industrial | I need to add it manually. | 07:55 |
| sikun | Sam_Fisher, i do run gnome, also it is adjusting the fan to the temp as it gets warmer the fan is speeding up so that is a good sign i suppose, but it still says its at 27C, also acpi -V shows the cpu at 26.8C also | 07:55 |
| spoonb | gbear14275: dmesg well report it is enabled. | 07:55 |
| nUboon2Age | alabd: so you need it to NOT be inverse. | 07:56 |
| Ginbun2 | I want enlightment on my netbook. is it using Ubuntu to install it the best way? | 07:56 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: this look right? GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="CONFIG_AMD_IOMMU=y" | 07:56 |
| paulo_ | Every time I reboot my system I need to reinstall my Wireless USB driver through ndisgtk. When it will be fixed, anyone knows? | 07:56 |
| spoonb | But I really want you to check your bios, because it is almost always disabled by default which would prevent kernel support or cmd args from woking | 07:56 |
| theadmin | Hey, is it normal that swap is not used even though more than 80% of physical memory is in use? | 07:57 |
| gbear14275 | spoonb: brb | 07:57 |
| spoonb | gbear14275, thats a kernel config style arguement. | 07:57 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: are you running on a liveCD or liveUSB or a hard disk? | 07:57 |
| paulo_ | nUboon2Age: hard disk | 07:57 |
| indus | theadmin, some swap is always used i notice | 07:57 |
| AAA | Livingroom like I said, it's been a while since I've used kismet | 07:57 |
| alabd | nUboon2Age: NOT be inverse. ? | 07:57 |
| jaldhar | so no one else is having flash problems on lucid except me? | 07:57 |
| triaspia | first timer using ubuntu, someone free to help with an internet connection issue? | 07:57 |
| theadmin | indus, well, it says 0B out of 3GB in use... The System Monitor thing | 07:58 |
| AAA | triaspia what is the issue? | 07:58 |
| indus | theadmin, ya its not unusual | 07:58 |
| n2diy | triaspia: wired, or wireless? | 07:58 |
| indus | theadmin, now why is that so is the question , which i dont know | 07:58 |
| triaspia | wireless, cant seem to find my network | 07:58 |
| nUboon2Age | alabd: the theme available by default in themes is inverse, so its mostly black w/ white lettering, but you want mostly white w/ black lettering, no? | 07:58 |
| naveen519 | unlike google im getting opendns in firefox while searching for urls | 07:59 |
| Sam_Fisher | paulo_, I had to do a clean install 2 days ago due to wifi death loop | 07:59 |
| naveen519 | what this opendns is appearing in firefox browser | 07:59 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: okay, that's bizarre. what kind of install do you have? | 07:59 |
| naveen519 | ? | 07:59 |
| spoonb | cmd line arguments are like this intel_iommu=on. | 07:59 |
| n2diy | triaspia: I've never had to configure wireless, it always worked out of the box for me. | 07:59 |
| paulo_ | I think that there is a ndiswrapper bug related to this. Every time I reboot I need to unplug/plug my Wireless USB device and them reinstall its driver | 08:00 |
| AAA | triaspia can you connect to other networks? or at least be prompted for a passphrase? | 08:00 |
| n2diy | triaspia: do you have a network icon on your panel? | 08:00 |
| alabd | nUboon2Age: yes to be used in black and white hard book , | 08:00 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: oh, so its a usb wireless external device? | 08:00 |
| paulo_ | nUboon2Age: yeap :) | 08:00 |

| ukixx | Mouse issues in ubuntu fix that plz :) | 08:01 |
| AAA | triaspia I've had that issure recently with the 10.4 release myself | 08:01 |
| n2diy | triaspia: have you right clicked it? | 08:01 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: do you know the bug number and if so have you subscribed to it for updates? It really helps increase the profile of a bug when more people subscribe to it. | 08:01 |
| ukixx | wee need any mouse work out off box :) | 08:01 |
| triaspia | it seemed like it was trying to connect, but couldnt quite get there | 08:01 |
| AAA | triaspia service network-manager restart fixes it sometimes, others a reboot | 08:02 |
| Sam_Fisher | triaspia, I use wifi radar to help me find open wifi I mean my wifi netowork | 08:02 |
| AAA | triaspia I've tried doing it manually after stopping network-manager to no avail. there is a bug, somewhere, for sure | 08:02 |
| Lance2 | exit | 08:02 |
| sikun | Sam_Fisher, hmm... i getting some results on google saying it is a bug in the kernel with the intel atom processors, but i'm still digging | 08:03 |
| alabd | nUboon2Age: want to take white and black pivtures from ubuntu 10.04 default theme but you know it is dark and will be make problem | 08:03 |
| AAA | triaspia you can also try /etc/init.d/dbus restart to fix your wifi connect issues | 08:03 |
| thune3 | industrial: i believe you need to create an .desktop entry in /usr/share/xsessions | 08:03 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: do any of these bugs look like it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=wireless+usb&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target= | 08:03 |

| nick_ | wildbat, I have some trouble booting even into busybox now :( I think I will have to go with the grub rescue first and then see what happens - I have to go now, will try the rescue tonight, and will come in here tomorrow early morning. Thanks for your help! | 08:05 |

| om26er | triaspia, in terminal: gksudo software-sources it will open a window. in the third tab check first the lucid-proposed check box, click close and then click reload open terminal and do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. probably a kernel bug. | 08:14 |
| om26er | *when you get the wired connection ofcource :) | 08:15 |
| sandy_ | where do i run this | 08:15 |
| indus | theadmin, http://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space | 08:15 |

| R3cur51v3 | I get "WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!" when I try to install emacs. | 08:17 |
| R3cur51v3 | What does that mean? | 08:17 |
| AAA | WalterN nvidia | 08:18 |
| WalterN | is NVIDIA still that much better with their linux drivers? | 08:18 |
| R3cur51v3 | You know what, I should LTFG. | 08:18 |
| maco | R3cur51v3: signature's wrong. either there's a different (newer) version going to be installed than last time you ran "sudo apt-get update" (in which case, run that cmmand now) or its from a ppa for which you lack the key or its badness | 08:18 |
| arooni-mobile_2 | i have ubuntu 10.04; i cant skip ahead in flash videos on google chrome. help! | 08:18 |

| alabd | nUboon2Age: ? | 08:19 |
| AAA | R3cur51v3 then why install emacs? | 08:19 |
| R3cur51v3 | I have no interest in using the editor itself | 08:19 |
| AAA | ah | 08:19 |
| R3cur51v3 | Like I said, it has a built-in game I want to play. | 08:19 |
| ouyes | hi all , I want to add some applications to start when my computer start, after you logging in, these applications are running itself, how to do this? | 08:19 |

| alabd | nUboon2Age: told you , themse should be ubuntu 10.04 default themse nothing esle but color scheme of it should be proper white and black | 08:21 |
| WalterN | AAA, what does that have to do with it? lol | 08:21 |
| AAA | R3cur51v3 so what happens when you apt-get install emacs? | 08:21 |
| ikonia | alabd: gnome-look.org for gnome themes | 08:21 |
| alabd | ^ ikonni | 08:22 |
| nUboon2Age | alabd: yes, I understand that. So have you discovered any that work for you on those web sites? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | alabd: what ? | 08:22 |
| AAA | WalterN that ati doesn't have a current driver for their gear and nvidia does | 08:22 |
| triaspia | AAA: i found 06:00.0 network conntroller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10) is that what i was looking for? | 08:22 |
| WalterN | hmm | 08:22 |
| R3cur51v3 | AAA I get some messages like "WARNING: untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed!" | 08:22 |
| alabd | ikonia: theme should be ubuntu 10.04 default themse nothing esle but color scheme of it should be proper white and black | 08:22 |
| R3cur51v3 | AAA it's odd because I haven't had problems with the Ubuntu repository before | 08:22 |
| ikonia | alabd: you install the themes you want | 08:22 |
| AAA | triaspia that is your 10/100 on board NIC, not wireless | 08:22 |
| nUboon2Age | paulo_: Yes, I saw that one too but hoped there would be one more detailed that would fit. | 08:22 |
| ikonia | alabd: gnome-look.org is a good place to get them | 08:22 |

| ikonia | alabd: ask the question clearly | 08:23 |
| R3cur51v3 | Ah-ha | 08:23 |
| R3cur51v3 | All I needed to do to fix the problem was "sudo aptitude update" | 08:23 |
| WalterN | AAA, how about multiple screen support? | 08:23 |
| AAA | R3cur51v3 then you just need to override the security checks, or add the gpg keys | 08:23 |
| ikonia | alabd: use take a snapshot application | 08:23 |
| alabd | ikonia: that default theme is most black | 08:23 |
| nUboon2Age | ikonia: the default theme set includes High Contrast Inverse, but alabd wants it to NOT be inverse. | 08:24 |
| Neriko | Evening everyone. Will someone please tell me how to set up my pop3 hotmail account in Evolution? | 08:24 |

| rashad7_ | like that | 10:15 |
| moetunes | Xgates: seems fine | 10:16 |
| Xgates | moetunes: what are the 'returns' for? I see them after all the echo lines in the file, so I wasn't sure if I needed it or not | 10:17 |
| moetunes | Xgates: they return the completion code - 0=fine , 1=error etc | 10:18 |
| bodzilla | rashad7 i'm ot understanding nonfree sounds like flash | 10:18 |
| bodzilla | rashad7 what exactly are you looking for | 10:19 |
| Xgates | moetunes: but then am I suppose to have return 0 after it then, like this: http://pastebin.com/64AThb5N | 10:20 |

| WXZ | does anyone know a tutorial of how to compile a source project, maybe a video on youtube | 10:24 |
| radikal | sombody know some program for use in security cam ? | 10:24 |
| WXZ | source package* | 10:24 |
| WXZ | everything I've read so far was too difficult for me to understand | 10:25 |
| bodzilla | rashad7 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list will open the apt repo list make sur all are on and save then try for packages | 10:25 |
| dzl | hehe | 10:26 |
| n2diy | WXZ: each project should have a README file, that explains it. Maybe not as easy as you like, but it works for that project. | 10:26 |
| WXZ | I'll check | 10:26 |
| no-name | i am trying to make a script that opens two or more text files at once in gedit. i write $ gedit /home/*/file1 /home/*/file2. when i try to run the script in terminal by typing ./script it says bad flag alias and bad flag vector over and over again before opening them | 10:26 |
| rohitabho | will any one help me out? i have some problem with my ubuntu 10.04! | 10:26 |
| bodzilla | oh no a Zombie | 10:26 |
| WXZ | yup, you're right | 10:26 |
| no-name | i say text file but they are not txt files, just files without extensions | 10:27 |
| WXZ | nope, no instructions there n2diy | 10:27 |
| bodzilla | rohitabo whats the proble | 10:27 |
| rohitabho | if i change the resolution of monitor to 1024x768 then the mouse pointer disappear. | 10:27 |
| rohitabho | but after applying again it appears again | 10:28 |
| WXZ | trying to compile tomboy 1.2 if that helps | 10:28 |
| WXZ | but a general understanding of how to compile tarballs would be a lot more useful | 10:28 |
| rohitabho | but every time i login the same problem occurs. | 10:28 |
| n2diy | WXZ: that's a surprise, I haven't compiled anything in a while, but there should be some kind of instructions? | 10:29 |
| rohitabho | but why? i can't recognize? | 10:29 |
| bodzilla | rohitabho have you looked in appearance-custom-cursor | 10:29 |
| WXZ | nope, just a link to the tomboy website, a description and an email address | 10:29 |
| rashd7_ | bodzilla i didnt get you | 10:29 |
| Incarnation | Is there a way to install Ubuntu and then install WinXP on another partition on the same machine, and then still receive the GRUB loading screen during power-up? | 10:29 |
| rohitabho | yes but nothing happend. | 10:29 |
| WXZ | and where to report bugs | 10:29 |
| rashd7_ | i my ubuntu repositories i have no svn package | 10:30 |
| rohitabho | instead of cursor the mous works fine. | 10:30 |
| n2diy | WXZ: the README will be in the tomboy download. | 10:30 |
| WXZ | it is, but it doesn't contain instructions | 10:30 |
| bodzilla | rashad7 not knowing what your trying to add makes this very hard can I get a hint | 10:30 |
| WXZ | may I send you the readme? | 10:30 |
| cousteau | Incarnation: you'll lose the GRUB. You can back up the MBR and restore it later, or use a Live CD to restore it (you can use Super Grub Disc for this) | 10:31 |
| bodzilla | rohitabho I'm not sure why your having this proble try the Ubuntu forums maybe | 10:31 |
| WXZ | oh | 10:31 |
| WXZ | it's in a file called INSTALL | 10:31 |
| Incarnation | How can I back up the MBR and restore it? | 10:32 |
| no-name | what is a flag vector, and what is a flag alias? | 10:32 |
| bodzilla | Incarnation which Ubuntu are you running | 10:32 |
| WXZ | oh wow, the install package tells me to read README even though there's nothing there, weird | 10:33 |
| Incarnation | Good question... 9 I believe | 10:33 |
| n2diy | WXZ:should be, if it is a true source package. | 10:33 |
| Incarnation | 9.10 | 10:33 |
| bodzilla | Incarnation which grub leagacy or grub2 | 10:33 |
| Xgates | is there a way I can have ufw log to it's own file like? ---> /var/log/ufw? | 10:33 |
| Incarnation | How can I determine which grub I am using? | 10:33 |
| WXZ | downloaded from here http://projects.gnome.org/tomboy/download.html | 10:33 |
| WXZ | v.1.2 | 10:33 |
| Incarnation | (I'm betting Grub2) | 10:33 |

| scriptwarlock | do anyone knows how to share a file in the net? i have files to share but i dont want my real ip to be seen | 10:36 |
| bodzilla | Incarnation grub2 should have a grub.cfg | 10:36 |
| Incarnation | Yes, I just came across that file | 10:36 |
| Incarnation | it was in my grub folder, so it probably is Grub2 | 10:37 |
| n2diy | WXZ: yes, I was just there, are you sure you can't just get it with apt-get, or synaptic? | 10:37 |
| Incarnation | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GRUB_screenshot.png << it looks like this | 10:37 |
| * scriptwarlock test | 10:37 | |

| Incarnation | Ubuntu 9.10 installs Grub2 by default so it's Grub2 for sure | 10:38 |
| n2diy | WXZ: well, that's the price you pay for ease of install. | 10:38 |
| WXZ | the second part's kind of important | 10:38 |
| bodzilla | Incarnation that looks like grub legacy you have to know before doing anything look in synaptic is it gru-pc | 10:39 |

| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 10:40 |

| airtonix | Incarnation, a menu option you'll find in your system menu | 10:40 |
| bodzilla | Incarnation go to Ubuntu forums and post you will get the best help there for such a big project | 10:40 |

Is there any driver I have to use? Thank you very much | 10:59 |
| kinglet | cousteau: I dont know :( | 10:59 |
| cousteau | bluenode: also checked the md5 of the dvd? | 11:00 |

| bluenode | i will do it. | 11:00 |
| kinglet | cousteau: how can I do? | 11:01 |
| red2kic | siba: Try xrandr (and maybe creating a custom Xorg with correct Vertical + Horizionatal ranges | 11:01 |
| erUSUL | siba: intel hardware should work with the drivers provided by the system. | 11:01 |

| om26er | bluenode, I am not sure about wubi but if there is a way to start a live session during wubi install this problem wont happen | 11:17 |
| kinglet | erUSUL: OMG! yea worked. I'm realy realy thankfull | 11:17 |
| bluenode | I have done simple clean installation | 11:18 |
| erUSUL | kinglet: you are wellcome; be more carefull next time when you use "sudo rm" :) | 11:18 |
| WXZ | I'm trying to compile something and it says "error: can't find gmcs in your PATH" | 11:18 |
| cousteau | LOVE_SP: sudo should work, but just to be sure, try with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 11:18 |
| kinglet | erUSUL: haha! yea | 11:18 |
| bluenode | I have a win 7 RTM and ubuntu 8.04 on the same machine | 11:18 |
| om26er | bluenode, then you should first start the live session and start installation from there | 11:18 |
| cousteau | WXZ: run gmcs and see what package it requires | 11:18 |
| WXZ | how would I run gmcs | 11:18 |
| cousteau | oh, mono-devel, I think | 11:18 |
| LOVE_SP | i just did , theres [read-only] on the title of gedit | 11:19 |
| LOVE_SP | save button is deactivated | 11:19 |
| bluenode | so this will be safe, and system will work without erros, and is there any way to chck ihe integrioty of CD before installing like in 8.04? | 11:19 |
| WXZ | I don't even have that installed.. that could be a problem | 11:19 |
| cousteau | WXZ: open a terminal, write "gmcs" and hit enter. It won't work, but at least it will tell you what package you need | 11:19 |
| cousteau | which is "mono-devel" | 11:19 |
| Dblue715 | the live cd works fine.. tried the install from there but does not work.. error writing to partition nvidia_eeeccdb5 | 11:19 |
| WXZ | I didn't have mono-devel installed | 11:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | I am now running lucid installed flash and pulseaudio however I don't get any sound coming out of my speakers not even with alsa-utils installed. Pavucontrol shows that firefox is being captured and sound is actually coming out but I cant hear it, anyone know why? | 11:20 |
| WXZ | synapticing it right now | 11:20 |
| wildbat | is there a command to turnoff the screen,ie put it in standby mode? | 11:20 |
| cousteau | WXZ: anyway, if you type a command and you don't have the program installed but that program is in repositories, it tells you what package you need | 11:20 |
| WXZ | diff. error now cousteau | 11:20 |
| WXZ | so that's progress | 11:21 |
| cousteau | WXZ: you probably need some libraries too | 11:21 |
| WXZ | yeah, it passed a step called "checking for gmcs" | 11:21 |
| WXZ | so I'm good | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | wildbat: maybe « gnome-screensaver-command -l » | 11:22 |

| cousteau | wildbat: you can make the screensaver stop sending a signal after X minutes of inactivity | 11:24 |
| bluenode | so the keyboard icon is for pressing keys | 11:24 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Dblue715: uh..... | 11:24 |
| cousteau | and then the monitor will typically auto power off | 11:24 |
| bluenode | it should be written! | 11:24 |
| bluenode | not in pictograms | 11:25 |
| Dblue715 | ShapeShifter : is that a yes ? | 11:25 |
| cousteau | bluenode: it must be in an internationally understandable language | 11:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Dblue715: *is semi-ubunoob* | 11:25 |
| cousteau | but it should be easier to understand | 11:25 |
| Josh__ | anyone know how to make terminator start already split and running irssi | 11:25 |
| bluenode | yes, but the pictograms should be more explicit | 11:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | Dblue715: I just ran it from my cd drive idk xD | 11:25 |
| cousteau | Josh__: man terminator | 11:25 |
| bluenode | I work with graphics | 11:25 |
| siba | I tried what you suggested me about xrandr and checking the X FAQ page but it still continue to looks refreshing wrong | 11:26 |
| bluenode | the pictogram should invoke reaction, the keyboard "=" sing not mean something man equal to keyboard? :) | 11:26 |
| bluenode | hand on buttons - this is understandable | 11:27 |
| wildbat | Found it ^^ in my old notes ^^ xset dpms force off | 11:27 |

| lanken | I have installed ubuntu via Wubi, so my ubuntu OS is on a ".disk" type disk image file | 12:07 |
| EgyParadox | lanken: YEs. | 12:07 |
| EgyParadox | lanken: Continue | 12:07 |
| funcqshun | sorry please dont ban me: is there a tumblr channel? | 12:08 |
| lanken | is there any way to reconfigure it to use a standard disk image type instead? (.vdi, .vhd, .hdd ...) in order to boot it from virtualbox | 12:08 |
| funcqshun | i found it, it is #tumblrs | 12:08 |
| Sadu[PL] | Can you tell me what about graphic card drivers? I must install some drivers or not? Im using Toshiba a300 1G2 | 12:08 |
| EgyParadox | lanken: Can't help. | 12:09 |
| mgolisch | lanken: i think those images are just raw filesystem images or raw disk images, you could try vboxmanage clonehd on them to make a vdi out of them | 12:09 |
| testff | how fu***** hard can this be | 12:11 |
| lanken | mgolisch: let me see if I understand-- in that case, I would have a copy of my wubi install that could boot in virtualbox, but any changes made when using virtualbox would not affect the original install. | 12:11 |
| lanken | mgolisch: it seems as though my best bet would be to start over with a traditional ubuntu install from a boot disk | 12:11 |
| tomcat | i have a question regarding compiling partclone on ubuntu 10.04 | 12:11 |
| mgolisch | lanken: yeah if you make a new vdi out of that raw image, but then again it wont realy boot as the bootloader and kernels are on your windows disk | 12:12 |
| mgolisch | lanken: atleast that was how it worked the last time i tried wubi | 12:12 |
| tomcat | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 12:12 |
| tomcat | maybe it's a n00b question :) | 12:13 |
| lanken | mgolisch: is there a convenient way to install ubuntu to an ext3 partition without burning a disk? I think my burner has given out. | 12:13 |

| wygrzmot | hi | 12:17 |
| lanken | IdleOne: it looks like that page is saying that I can use wubi to create an ext3 install | 12:17 |
| IdleOne | lanken: wubi installs inside of windows as if it was a windows application. | 12:17 |
| IdleOne | lanken: it then offers the choice at boot time and you can uninstall it the same way you would any other windows application | 12:18 |
| Xgates | I have gufw on another distro and it doesn't load any gtk2 themes, anyone know why? Here's my file: http://pastebin.com/2fWs3SRS | 12:19 |
| IdleOne | Xgates: ask in the other distro irc channel | 12:19 |
| Xgates | it's a Ubuntu app that's why I'm asking here | 12:19 |
| SirRedTooth | i have to take the dvd out and put it back in ~5 times for it to read it as a movie file | 12:20 |
| IdleOne | Xgates: the problem is probably that the other distro is doing/not doing something the Ubuntu way causing gufw to not act the intended way | 12:20 |
| lanken | IdleOne: it is nice that wubi can install ubuntu inside of an NTFS partition. I wish that it had the option to create a traditional install instead, on an ext3 partition. | 12:20 |
| Xgates | lostson: are you running Gnome and if so do you have .gtkrc-2.0 in your HOME, or is it .gtkrc? and could you paste it on pastebin for me? THANKS | 12:21 |
| Juniksz | anyone knows how to use properly the VLC program in console? I mean, how can I stop it, Fastforward, back, and exit. and it offers a program called Cvlc. | 12:22 |
| Xgates | IdleOne: loading GTK themes is pretty standard with all Linux distros it's a GTK thing not a distro thing :p | 12:22 |
| bluenode | I've installed it. It is now working fine | 12:22 |
| sillysyl | Hi everyone ! | 12:23 |
| NitzchONot | Any idea how can i change my 'Login Screen' With a custom one ? Not just Background Image, but the dialog too in 10.04 ? :) | 12:23 |
| Xgates | but it looks like Ubunt might be doing something different | 12:23 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: you can't | 12:23 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: not with GDM 2 | 12:23 |
| sillysyl | Someone may help me ? I'm seeking for an app for Kubuntu/Ubuntu | 12:24 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: so KDM or Slim instead :) | 12:24 |
| Jiggy | I need help | 12:24 |
| NitzchONot | sebsebseb: so there's not any workaround ? | 12:24 |
| Xgates | IdleOne: are you running Gnome and if so do you have .gtkrc-2.0 in your HOME, or is it .gtkrc? and could you paste it on pastebin for me? THANKS | 12:24 |

| incidence | Hi, Any usage experiences of replicating filesystems on external hard-drives? | 12:25 |
| NitzchONot | sebsebseb: so the only way it's to switch to KDM, correct ? | 12:25 |
| IdleOne | Xgates: .gtkrc-2.0 and it is one line of text | 12:25 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: basically yeah, or Slim, or maybe LXDM | 12:25 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: Slim is very customizable | 12:25 |

| IdleOne | Xgates: include ".gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser" | 12:26 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: if you install from Ubuntu repo, it will give you the Debian theme, since Ubuntu is based on Debian, but easy enough to change the theme, see website for details | 12:26 |
| IdleOne | Xgates: that is all it says | 12:26 |
| NitzchONot | sebsebseb: thanks for your time, i'll look in to it :) | 12:27 |
| Xgates | IdleOne: ok THANKS | 12:27 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: I like KDM from the Ubuntu repo, for a few reasons, but it does come with a nice theme by default :) | 12:27 |

| damian | good morning people of the ubuntu style operating system! | 12:31 |
| Jiggy | The windows 7 install tells me theres no harddrive installed during installation, and the command prompt shows no drive when trying to format. Yet when I restart without the CD, ubuntu loads. | 12:31 |
| sebsebseb | NitzchONot: sudo apt-get install kdm and select it | 12:31 |
| papcy | IdleOne, i also installed an application but cant find it on my computer | 12:31 |

| sillysyl | Jiggy : no | 12:34 |
| Jiggy | what is it? | 12:34 |
| EgyParadox | NitzchNot: Nope. | 12:34 |
| damian | ohhhh | 12:34 |
| sillysyl | Jiggy : you don't have the same concept of "drives" under Windows | 12:34 |
| sillysyl | Jiggy : *that under windows | 12:35 |
| Jiggy | how do i format | 12:35 |
| ivan90112 | I just knew that if empathy can join to irc hat | 12:35 |
| EgyParadox | NitzchONot: you can choose KDE or GNOME session at the login screen. | 12:35 |
| damian | the skeleton will automatically add those files into a new users profile? | 12:35 |
| papcy | was formerly using SDK S40 6th Edition | 12:35 |
| sillysyl | Jiggy : If you're using Ubuntu, try Gparted. But you have also very fine and simple command line tools like fdisk and parted | 12:35 |
| papcy | on windows | 12:35 |
| NitzchONot | EgyParadox: Oh i see! Thats great to hear it. (Read it even) | 12:35 |

| Jiggy | which filesystem is windows 7 | 12:36 |
| damian | NTFS | 12:37 |
| Jiggy | ntfs or fat32 | 12:37 |
| DND | mine is ntfs | 12:37 |
| DND | but i think there's another FS its called exFAT? | 12:37 |
| Xgates | IdleOne: msg me 4 lines from that file? I thought it was just the one you showed me was all? | 12:37 |
| damian | everything sub-Windows2000 is NTFS | 12:37 |
| damian | unless specifically told otherwise | 12:37 |
| Sean_Paul | Hi | 12:37 |
| NitzchONot | EgyParadox: One last question (I guess). When i choose a session at the login screen, lets say KDE, does the GNOME Desktop setting (Like wallpaper, my Conky script, items in the desktop) "Transfer" to KDE too? | 12:37 |
| Sean_Paul | Anyone know how to record a stream in VLC player? | 12:38 |
| DND | the good thing about this exFAT is it enables transfers more than 4gb | 12:38 |
| sylsylsyl | Jiggy : I think you can't use Ubuntu to create a NTFS file system | 12:38 |
| EgyParadox | NitzchONot: I believe nope. | 12:38 |
| EgyParadox | wait | 12:38 |
| EgyParadox | items in the desktop not sure. | 12:38 |
| sylsylsyl | Sean_Paul : maybe with the extended file opening options | 12:38 |
| Jiggy | alright, now i tried putting the harddrive with ubuntu in my windows 7 pc to format it through windows, but windows doesnt recognize it.. how would i go about formatting it from a command prompt to install windows 7 | 12:38 |
| EgyParadox | NitzchONot: I am not sure, I do not use KDE much. | 12:38 |
| sylsylsyl | Jiggy : which Ubuntu CD are you able to launch, even in command line ? | 12:39 |
| damian | Jiggy, right click on My Computer, go to Manage, the bottom option in the left pane should be drive management or something similar -- make sure you have the correct drive and right click / format | 12:39 |
| Jiggy | im using the windows 7 cd for a command prompt | 12:39 |
| NitzchONot | EgyParadox: even XFCE.. or whatever options i have xD | 12:39 |
| damian | but, what are you attempting to do Jiggy? | 12:39 |
| sylsylsyl | Jiggy : you may use parted or fdisk, I think they're everyt Ubuntu CD | 12:39 |
| Jiggy | get rid of ubuntu and install windows 7 | 12:40 |
| damian | oh | 12:40 |
| damian | lol | 12:40 |
| damian | are you in the Windows installer? | 12:40 |
| sylsylsyl | Jiggy is attempting to format his old ubuntu drive into a windows NTFS drive | 12:40 |
| Jiggy | yes | 12:40 |
| damian | just partition your drives manually, delete all partitions and start over | 12:40 |
| Jiggy | it wont let me delete the partitions | 12:41 |
| Morten_ | hi :) | 12:41 |
| damian | you're doing something wrong! :P | 12:41 |

| damian | are you at the prompt? | 12:42 |
| Jiggy | i just restarted | 12:42 |
| damian | yeah, just get into the normal installer / setup | 12:43 |
| damian | go through the steps and when it asks you where you want it, delete partitions | 12:43 |
| Jiggy | ty | 12:43 |
| damian | it should be something like 'L' to delete, then confirm | 12:43 |
| Jiggy | im getting there | 12:43 |
| damian | hang on, shouldn't you be in #Windows7 .. :P | 12:43 |
| damian | you're going against Ubuntu! | 12:43 |

| damian | no Jiggy, do it from within the installer | 12:53 |
| banermatt | hi | 12:53 |
| DND | hi guys, how long does the gpg generates? | 12:54 |
| DND | under 256mb of memory | 12:54 |
| Jiggy | the windows installer is telling me that theres already an open setup, and to reboot without the CD. when i reboot without the CD it goes directly to ubuntu. | 12:54 |
| bluenode | haha it works! | 12:54 |
| SirRedTooth | woo it detected it... i can watch another 2 episodes of lost until i have to put it in and out about 50 times | 12:54 |
| remoteCTRL | SirRedTooth: youre right there, doesnt make much sense... | 12:54 |
| damian | rofl SirRedTooth | 12:55 |
| Kauzmik1dr | SirRedTooth: Have you tried cleaning the DVD? Does your DVD read both + and - ? | 12:55 |
| damian | tried the drive in a non-Ubuntu environment to see if the issue is hardware / software related? | 12:55 |
| bluenode | I hope that this error will not influence the system | 12:55 |
| bluenode | but 10.04 is more responsive than 8.04 | 12:55 |
| SirRedTooth | Kauzmik1dr, i have watched about 4 different dvd's all with the same problem. back over at.. windows *gasp* i never had that problem | 12:55 |

| DND | anyway i already gave the solution | 13:00 |
| vlt | Jiggy: mkfs.vfat | 13:00 |

| vlt | Jiggy: Wait, you wanted ntfs ... | 13:00 |
| DND | you said you want to convert to ntfs? | 13:00 |
| Jiggy | yes | 13:00 |
| kuntau | hello | 13:01 |
| kuntau | anyone | 13:01 |
| kuntau | can help me with installing ubuntu | 13:01 |
| vlt | Jiggy: There's ntfs-3g which can write _to_ an ntfs file system but I don't know whether you can initially format it. read `man ntfs-3g` | 13:01 |
| DND | kuntau, boot from livecd | 13:01 |
| kuntau | hi DND | 13:02 |
| DND | then click on intall icon once you get to the desktop | 13:02 |
| kuntau | i installed ubuntu and it ask me to restart | 13:02 |
| DND | *install | 13:02 |
| kuntau | then i can't see the boot menu | 13:02 |
| DND | yes after the installation remove the cd | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis_ | !find mkfs.ntfs | 13:02 |
| kuntau | actually i want to dual boot with windows | 13:02 |

| DND | install windows first then ubuntu | 13:03 |
| kuntau | how to i add ubuntu to boot menu | 13:03 |
| iflema | Jiggy the windows install media will wipe it away and format ntfs for you. | 13:03 |
| Jiggy | i cant install windows | 13:03 |
| damian | why are you still at the godddd damn prompt, Jiggy?!?!@?#!# | 13:03 |
| kuntau | i use EasyBCD | 13:03 |
| damian | make out you have NOTHING on your drive | 13:03 |
| damian | .. install Windows | 13:03 |
| kuntau | not sure which option to select | 13:03 |
| Jiggy | the windows setup wont load | 13:03 |
| damian | fresh install, ubuntu never existed, yo'll be fine | 13:03 |
| vlt | Jiggy: Ok, mkfs.ntfs is available (after installing ntfsprogs). | 13:03 |
| Jiggy | so all i have is a command prompt | 13:03 |
| damian | then there's an issue with your disc | 13:03 |
| DND | kuntau is it a windows boot menu or a ubuntu boot menu? | 13:04 |
| damian | as long as a drive is present, Windows will try and take it over | 13:04 |
| Jiggy | ill type the error | 13:04 |
| pozic | The wrong sound card is selected and it is also selected to use digital output, which is what I don't want, even if I do alsamixer, make the required changes, and do alsactl store as root it still doesn't work. How can I fix it such that it works even after a reboot? | 13:04 |
| mmfb | So, from what I hear, Xubuntu is a simpler more beginner friendly version of Ubuntu. My question is, which version of Linux do you guys recommend for a new guy to Linux? I'm currently running Xubuntu 9.10. | 13:04 |
| damian | check your bios, make sure the drive is recognised | 13:04 |
| kuntau | right now i got dual boot.. winxp and win7 | 13:04 |
| kuntau | i want to add ubuntu | 13:04 |

| vlt | mmfb: Ubuntu comes with different desktop environments. Default is GNOME, and then there's kubuntu with KDE, xubuntu with XFCE, lubuntu with LXDE. | 13:05 |
| kuntau | then when i select ubuntu from boot menu i load me into grub | 13:05 |
| vlt | mmfb: None of them is a "beginner" version | 13:05 |
| kuntau | it is grub command line i dont know what to type.. | 13:05 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | vlt, which one is better ? | 13:06 |
| vlt | mmfb: XFCE tries to and LXDE actually is more lightweight than GNOME or KDE | 13:06 |
| mmfb | vlt: Beginner as in a simpler version. A bit more cleaned up from your standard Ubuntu desktop. | 13:06 |
| vlt | !better | DJ_HaMsTa | 13:06 |
| ubottu | DJ_HaMsTa: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors.

| vlt | mmfb: But that may be a matter of taste ;-) | 13:08 |
| kuntau | You'll probably notice that the GRUB menu only lists Ubuntu and Windows XP. DON'T PANIC! This is perfectly normal. If you choose Windows XP at the GRUB menu, it actually loads the Windows Boot Manager, where you can choose between Vista and XP. | 13:08 |

| Dr_Willis_ | mmfb: depends on how you insatlled it. Most normally you use the package manager tools | 13:13 |

| Juniksz | hello, can i run Linux on 486? | 13:25 |
| LjL | Juniksz: generally speaking, yes, but i'm not sure the Linux kernel that comes with Ubuntu still supports it... it certainly doesn't support 386 anymore, but i'm not sure about 486. | 13:25 |
| LjL | Juniksz: anyway, it's unlikely that you'll be able to run Ubuntu or even one of its lighter-weight derivatives on a 486's hardware... | 13:26 |
| LjL | Juniksz: i'd consider some other distribution instead (though i don't have specific advice about that myself, try asking for opinions in #ubuntu-offtopic) | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: there are special MINI linux's out for older machines. | 13:26 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: such as 'puppylinux' or 'dsl' or 'tiny core linux' | 13:27 |
| rumbert | Juniksz: how much disk & RAM? | 13:27 |
| Juniksz | rumbert: 50mhz and 20mb ram i think | 13:27 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: good luck getting any linux on sojmthing that small | 13:28 |
| LjL | hmm 20 megabytes is not a lot. although i think i have a debian running on 16 | 13:28 |
| Juniksz | just because Linux is better than Win95 | 13:28 |
| llutz | Juniksz: what do you expect that ancient piece of hardware to do? | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | 20mb of ram - is going to be very very tight | 13:28 |
| Juniksz | this is a very old laptop | 13:28 |
| rumbert | Juniksz: you can install using the debian/'alternative' installer in text mode. I think you will need at least 200MB disk. | 13:28 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: i installed ubuntu a long time ago to a Pent -I, 100mhz, with 128 mb of ram. the install took a few hours. :( | 13:29 |
| LjL | i'd forget about Ubuntu | 13:29 |
| sburjan_ | hello. where is lcoated the OO instalation in Ubuntu 10.04 ? | 13:29 |
| Juniksz | I have only 700mb harddisk | 13:29 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: you might want to look into 'freedos' :) or Minix. depending on your needs | 13:29 |
| rumbert | rumbert: install minimal then run 'aptitude' and you can see whether you can run X Windows, but you will not be able to install the default xorg package or it will be too large for your disk, I guess. | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: puppy linux MIGHT run on it. but that will be tight | 13:30 |
| Juniksz | and puppy linuxis better then Win95? | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | a sharp stick in the eye is better then windoss95 | 13:30 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Juniksz: you sure its only 20mb of ram? | 13:30 |
| LjL | Juniksz: that's a matter of personal preference. what is "better" for you? | 13:30 |
| rumbert | Juniksz: if you can run X Windows, you can use for window managers: olvwm, fvwm, awm, some tiling window manager. Maybe XFCE or LXDE. Look at Frame Buffer (FB) apps. | 13:31 |
| Juniksz | for example: mp3blaster can play mp3 songs, but win95 is so slow and it cannot do | 13:31 |

| icedwater | Hello, I noticed that I can almost double my battery life by using metacity instead of compiz ... how do I set metacity as the default WM? | 13:52 |
| damian | after reading, i thought that .profile runs under shell and .bashrc would run in Terminal | 13:52 |
| damian | but neither would run on user login | 13:52 |
| JackWaugh | Don't know about KDE. | 13:52 |
| JackWaugh | damian: .bashrc runs when I open a shell under Gnome. | 13:52 |
| damian | yeah, but what about when you log onto a computer? | 13:52 |
| icedwater | damian: I would have thought that that's .profile. | 13:53 |
| JackWaugh | damian: No, not when I log in. | 13:53 |
| damian | yeah | 13:53 |
| bastid_raZor | icedwater: System > Preferences > Appearances > Visual Effects > select None | 13:53 |

| JackWaugh | kamil86: That looks like it sets the set-uid and set-gid bits. | 14:04 |
| icedwater | bastid_raZor: I want some compositing, eg for transparency, but I don't really need a full-featured compiz. | 14:04 |
| MMkaho | ok well i tried to load it up in the Movie player preinstalled with this | 14:04 |
| icedwater | I don't want to completely disable desktop effects, either... I think some Compiz plugins are pretty handy. | 14:05 |
| kamil86 | JackWaugh: hi yes I'm trying to run a script with root privileges but not using sudo .. | 14:05 |
| JackWaugh | MMkaho: Maybe your preinstalled movie player (whatever it is) will work if you unmount the FS. | 14:05 |
| MMkaho | ok | 14:05 |
| bazhang | MMkaho, I'd try vlc to be honest | 14:05 |
| bastid_raZor | icedwater: use compiz and edit which plugins you wish to use with ccsm | 14:05 |
| EgyParadox | acer_: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk | 14:05 |
| JackWaugh | kamil86: Are you asking what the effect of the set-id bits is? | 14:06 |
| JackWaugh | kamil86: Are you getting some kind of error message when you try to do it? | 14:06 |
| kamil86 | JackWaugh: kind of :) I read the documentation but I can't make it work :( | 14:06 |
| llutz | kamil86: you cannot set suid-root on scripts | 14:06 |
| JackWaugh | kamil86: It's a script? | 14:06 |
| kamil86 | JackWaugh: yes | 14:07 |
| acer_ | EgyParadox, how about if I want to install sun-JDK? | 14:07 |
| kamil86 | JackWaugh: to start adsl modem | 14:07 |
| JackWaugh | kamil86: Write a little program in C that will execute your script. | 14:07 |
| Dr_Willis_ | kamil86: or set up sudo where it dosent need a password to run that specific command | 14:07 |
| llutz | kamil86: why don't you use pppeoconf? | 14:07 |

| zulgaban | i have installed ubuntu-desktop (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop) on top of ubuntu-server (10.04). how do i disable the GUI from auto-booting everytime i reboot the server? | 14:08 |
| Taygun | I cant get my camera working guys :S | 14:08 |
| Dr_Willis_ | zulgaban: disable the gdm service in /etc/init/gdm.conf (rename it to /etc/init/gdm.DONTRUN or similer) | 14:08 |
| kamil86 | Dr_Willis_: is it a easy to set ? | 14:08 |
| zulgaban | thank you Dr_Willis | 14:09 |
| Dr_Willis_ | kamil86: its done via editing the sudoers file. check the various sudo tutorials.. and backup that file befor editing it. | 14:09 |
| erUSUL | zulgaban: edit /etc/init/gdm.conf comment out from the line that begins "start on ..." to " ... or stopped udevtrigger)) " | 14:09 |
| kamil86 | Dr_Willis_: thanks I'll check it out | 14:10 |
| llutz | kamil86: why don't you use pppoeconf for your adsl connection? | 14:10 |
| kamil86 | Dr_Willis_: is it a safe solution ? | 14:10 |
| kamil86 | llutz: I not really familiar with it | 14:10 |
| Dr_Willis_ | kamil86: one of the reasons sudo was invented.. allows you do set various things like that. | 14:10 |
| llutz | kamil86: there should be tutorials in the forums and iirc it is the recommended way to use xdsl | 14:10 |
| kamil86 | llutz: I think the script is using pppoe .. | 14:11 |
| Dr_Willis_ | kamil86: if you want it done at every bootup. You could just put the commands in /etc/rc.local also. | 14:11 |
| Ta3v | hey guys I forget, but what flag do I need to use to copy a directory? i did cp eggdrop/ and I got "omitting directory" | 14:12 |
| llutz | kamil86: pppoe is what most xdsl-connections use | 14:12 |
| Ta3v | I know theres a flag I need to include. | 14:12 |
| llutz | Ta3v: cp -a or cp -r | 14:12 |
| Dr_Willis_ | r = recursive | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | zulgaban: or this http://serverfault.com/questions/137776/disable-gdm-in-ubuntu-10-04 | 14:13 |
| kamil86 | Dr_Willis_: you mean the script for modem ? If yes I can't because sometimes it takes too long for my pc to recognize the usb modem and it's not ready until few seconds and booting is finished by then .. | 14:14 |
| Ta3v | ta | 14:14 |

| ubottu | gsin: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | coventry`: if you install sawfish with the package manager it 'should' add a sawfish entry to the GDM login screen menus | 14:22 |
| Dr_Willis_ | matanya: check the webupd8.org web site - they had a list of sites , or the omgubuntu website,. | 14:23 |
| wSoge | bodzilla how would i find that out? | 14:23 |
| icedwater | Ah, I've found the problem... compiz.real can't find the 'animation' plugin, so it stutters at startup. | 14:23 |

| Ta3v | ive moved the directory for taeggy from my linux server to this pc | 14:29 |
| Ta3v | going to see if it works | 14:29 |
| Pici | vlt: The difference is a different set of default packages, the repositories are the same. | 14:29 |
| coventry` | Jordan_U: Nope. (This is lucid lynx, BTW.) | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Guest46547: if you mean some widgit to show cpu/memory/networking speeds. theres several tools in the repos that cn show those | 14:29 |

| SlidingHorn | ben__: ndisgtk is the graphical front-end for use with the ndiswrapper...however, aptitude/apt-get/synaptic requires an internet connection to get the files to install. once connected, run this command to install ndisgtk sudo apt-get install ndisgtk | 14:34 |

| megadeth | I have 80GB of unallocated space. When I try to create a new partition with gparted, it says the kernel was unable to re-read the partition table | 14:43 |
| scunizi | Ta3v: if it's mounted, unmount it.. gparted will do that in the menus I think | 14:44 |
| Ta3v | AH | 14:44 |
| vlt | Ta3v: parted doesn't know how to call ntfsresize when resizing a partition. You need to do it yourself | 14:44 |

| thesheff17 | megadeth: I would try to use fdisk /dev/sda and create the new partition and use w to write it. I have seen where it will say it is mounted but on the next reboot the new table will be picked up. | 15:33 |
| thesheff17 | also the free space doesn't exist in the middle of the drive does it? | 15:34 |
| geirha | megadeth: no lock/key icons on any of the partitions on that drive? The liveCD will automatically mount any swap partition if it finds one. | 15:34 |
| thesheff17 | what is the output of sudo mount | 15:34 |

| josephnexus | i have an interesting problem. I try to go to digg.com and the page stops loading (it eternally just says it is loading... and does get as far as loading the title) | 15:46 |
| josephnexus | one other page does the same thing | 15:46 |
| josephnexus | but everywhere else loads | 15:46 |
| josephnexus | any ideas? | 15:46 |
| DarkStar1 | much better | 15:46 |
| occy | josephnexus: only on digg.com ? | 15:46 |
| josephnexus | those sites work when trying from another machine that is also running ubuntu 10.04 | 15:46 |
| Fudge | the #mangler guys are very friendly and like a stir | 15:46 |
| NitzchONot | Hello, can i install Kubuntu Desktop and also keep my Ubuntu Desktop ? (Just to test KDE) | 15:46 |
| josephnexus | digg.com and a handful of other sites | 15:46 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: yes. | 15:47 |

| matteo1990 | Hi all, i have an Nvidia Geforce 8400 Gs on an Ubuntu 10.04 machine with current driver installed (nvidia settings tell me that is the 195). I always see 1080p films on my tv so i use mplayer with vdpau. I get sometimes a bunch of pixels not changing colr for a while... What can i do? Do i need to buy a better video-card? Do i need to change the drivers? Is fault of Mplayer? | 15:47 |
| nehyx | NitzchONot: Yes, using dual boot | 15:47 |
| nehyx | NitzchONot: Or just installing KDE and having GNOME and KDE in same OS | 15:47 |
| josephnexus | matteo1990: your video is probably the issue | 15:47 |
| josephnexus | not your hardware | 15:47 |
| occy | Fudge: yeah, they were fairly nice, but I was trying to get mic working then. I really believe it's a serious Ubuntu soundsystem Charlie Foxtrot | 15:47 |
| NitzchONot | magnetron & nehyx, and what if i want to 'uninstall' it ? Will this effect my Gnome Desktop at all ? | 15:47 |
| josephnexus | anyone have any ideas why certain sites won't ever finish loading for me? | 15:48 |
| thesheff17_ | try a different browser like chrome | 15:48 |
| thesheff17_ | see if you have the same problems | 15:48 |
| DarkStar1 | NitzchONot: No | 15:48 |
| matteo1990 | josephnexus, I havent understand, i have an lg 42 inch full HD with hdmi connection, what can cause a problem? | 15:48 |
| thesheff17_ | if you do maybe some DNS problem | 15:48 |
| occy | nehyx: or Fudge you guys know how I can "purge" my sound system and get it the way it should be by default? | 15:48 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: no. | 15:48 |
| NitzchONot | DarkStar1 & magnetron, thank you :) | 15:48 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: i recommend you install it with aptitude, will make it easier to remove later | 15:48 |

| occy | Fudge: yeah... :( | 15:49 |

| magnetron | NitzchONot: yes, use aptitude | 15:50 |

| thesheff17_ | weird | 15:53 |
| josephnexus | yeah | 15:53 |
| thesheff17_ | chrome does the same thing? | 15:53 |
| josephnexus | that's what I thought | 15:53 |
| josephnexus | yes | 15:53 |
| thesheff17_ | well then it isn't firefox screwing up...you don't have any iptables or firewalls | 15:54 |
| thesheff17_ | do you? | 15:54 |
| josephnexus | i haven't changed anything as far as firewalls are concerned from the default | 15:54 |
| thesheff17_ | does sudo iptables -L | 15:54 |
| thesheff17_ | what is that output | 15:54 |

| NitzchONot | magnetron: Ok, im doing the installation part and it asks me what i want for Default Display manager (gdm/kdm) | 15:57 |
| NitzchONot | magnetron: will i be able to change that whenever i want? (Like if i dont want to have KDE as my desktop) | 15:58 |

| josephnexus | and I can reach digg.com | 15:59 |

Do i need to change the drivers? Is fault of Mplayer? | 16:00 |
| josephnexus | the pixels not changing is probably your video source | 16:00 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: you can set GDM as the default, as soon as GDM starts you can still log in into KDE | 16:00 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: sudo lshw -C disk; cat /etc/fstab | 16:00 |
| NitzchONot | magnetron: how can i change that if i want? (Because i already set KDM as default) | 16:01 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip sure can | 16:01 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: thanks | 16:01 |
| albech | why was the old gnome-keyboard-selector tool removed? | 16:01 |
| albech | it is no longer available in the panel | 16:02 |
| KukMan | hi. I have sources with debian/rules. Where can I set package depends? | 16:02 |
| NitzchONot | albech: i think ur still able to choose a layout for ur keyboard | 16:02 |
| thune3 | josephnexus: you could try the "net" panel in the ff extension "firebug", to see if you can tell what element is stalling on you | 16:02 |
| KukMan | I want replace libcupsys2 by libcups2 | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | KukMan: http://packages.ubuntu.com maybe | 16:02 |
| daleyb | !lastlog daleyb | 16:03 |
| albech | NitzchONot, well it was a nice convenient way to go back and forth between english and thai keyboard. | 16:03 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: manage what? | 16:03 |
| kaspir | quick question. Is there a command for the terminal to find my wireless card information? | 16:04 |
| NitzchONot | magnetron: i said 'how to change' from KDM to GDM if i want to :) | 16:04 |
| KukMan | ActionParsnip, This is drivers for Canon. It s for debian, not ubuntu. And, it depends on libcupsys2, which in ubuntu names libcups2 | 16:04 |
| patusovniak | what is dmesg | 16:04 |
| Fudge | is there a netbook remix channel? | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | KukMan: debian isnt supported here | 16:05 |
| albech | does anyone else know a tool where i can switch easily between a thai and english keyboard layout? | 16:05 |
| josephnexus | ok | 16:05 |
| NitzchONot | albech: as far as i can understand u want to change from English to Thai languages, correct ? So, u want to change the Keyboard Layout, yes ? | 16:05 |
| patusovniak | bserijas, hi ;) | 16:05 |
| albech | NitzchONot, correct | 16:05 |
| yoday | Hello folks. I have a group of very stubborn and old folks the do not want to leave windows behind. I want to secretly convert them to linux (they mostly use Chrome, MSNIM, and Open Office), but I have yet to find a complete windows look and feel solution. I tried some GNOME and KDE themes, but often times they only change a few things. I also do not have a lot of experience with GUI customization, so I would like something that is easy to install. I would also b | 16:06 |
| josephnexus | the net tab in firebug tells me (when I look at the response) that everything came through | 16:06 |
| josephnexus | i can see all of the code | 16:06 |
| === compi13 is now known as djounreu | ||
| josephnexus | and I go to the css tab, and i can see all of the css | 16:06 |

| ubottu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:06 |
| albech | NitzchONot, there used to be a nice applet i could add to my panel, but it is no longer available.. it was when i first installed 10.04 | 16:06 |
| magnetron | NitzchONot: i think you have to use the update-alternatives tool to choose between kdm and gdm, when both are installed | 16:06 |
| KukMan | ActionParsnip, I have question about ubuntu and dpkg-buildpackage, not debian | 16:06 |
| ActionParsnip | yoday: what version of windows do they use? | 16:06 |
| robin0800 | albech: keyboard preferences layout options | 16:06 |
| patusovniak | bserijas, how are you? | 16:06 |
| NitzchONot | albech: i assume u already installed the languages. You can go to "System -> Prefferences -> Keyboard" | 16:06 |
| NitzchONot | magnetron: thanks :) | 16:07 |
| kaspir | Can anyone tell me if there is a command for the terminal to bring up wireless card specs? | 16:07 |
| KukMan | i have sources which I can build into deb package | 16:07 |
| albech | NitzchONot, yes the languages are there | 16:07 |
| ActionParsnip | yoday: if its XP then there is a script to make gnome look like XP: http://ubuntu.online02.com/node/14 | 16:07 |
| KukMan | And I want to replace some depends in result deb package | 16:07 |
| magnetron | kaspir: that depends on what you want to know about the wireless card | 16:07 |
| yoday | @ActionParsnip win7 and xp, but they are open to upgrading/downgrading to either | 16:07 |
| albech | NitzchONot, i just dont want to go into all these menus to change the key map, since im doing it ~100 times a day | 16:07 |
| NitzchONot | albech: at the Layout, add your language and u can change the key combination if u want too | 16:07 |
| kaspir | magnetron: I just need to know what wireless card I have for compatibility reasons | 16:08 |
| ActionParsnip | yoday: theres a Win7 one which is similar too (I use it to confuse my mates:)) | 16:08 |
| NitzchONot | albech: theres an option to change by pressing "Alt+Shift" | 16:08 |
| yoday | thank you folks, have a great day | 16:08 |
| trism | albech: do you have the notification area in your panel? the keyboard applet should automatically show up there if you have more than one layout | 16:08 |
| NitzchONot | what trism said actually :) | 16:09 |
| thune3 | josephnexus: so firefox lists done? at the bottom of the 'net' tab it says "86 requests" or something around there? | 16:09 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip http://pastebin.com/W4cHZ5z0 I couldn't copy the output but the logical names are (/dev) CDROM1 scd0 sr0 | 16:09 |
| josephnexus | let me look again | 16:09 |
| josephnexus | odd | 16:09 |
| magnetron | kaspir: you could probably find the chipset name in the output from the 'lspci' command. but it won't give you the model/make of the card | 16:10 |
| dowxp | is there a tech hardware channel#? | 16:10 |
| josephnexus | now it is showing stuff... but it says it is still loading | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: you didnt give the output of: sudo lshw -C disk | 16:10 |
| albech | NitzchONot, ill play around with that thanks | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | dowxp: ##hardware | 16:10 |
| bazhang | dowxp, ##hardware | 16:10 |
| albech | trism, yes the notification area is there and there are 3 different key layouts installed, yet it does not show up :( | 16:10 |
| kaspir | magnetron: how would you suggest finding the model/make of the card then? | 16:10 |
| sdk | Heyas all.. Is there a way to get a menuitem on a right click menu to encrypt a file? i.e. somefile.txt <right click> Encrypt File.... etc. ? | 16:10 |
| magnetron | kaspir: opening the computer case :D | 16:10 |
| NitzchONot | albech: Theres a button that says "Options" if i remember correct, there u can change the key combination for the keyboard layouts :) | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: you will need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and add this line: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 | 16:11 |
| magnetron | sdk: yes. wait a sec and i will find it | 16:11 |
| sdk | I have Seahorse installed 10.04 FYI. | 16:11 |
| kaspir | magnetron: haha as fun as that sounds, I would like to keep my computer in one piece and working | 16:11 |
| sdk | magnetron: Thanks.. been looking for 20 mins and can't find it.. | 16:11 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip thanks | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: assuming /dev/scd0 is the device name for your optical drive, the lshw output will tell you what it is | 16:11 |

| indian_munnda | can anyone tell me how can i find drivers for redhat enterprize linux. I am trying to install it on my newly bought hardware. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on it successfully but redhat enterprize 5.2 says "No Drivers Found". Can anyone help???? | 16:29 |
| Pici | nailora, daleyb: Yes, but its best to use adduser (not useradd). | 16:29 |
| Pici | indian_munnda: This channel is only for Ubuntu support, not RHEL. | 16:30 |
| nailora | daleyb: yeah, but is adding him to the group all i have to do to make a proper admin or is there something more i have to do | 16:30 |
| daleyb | Fair enough, I'm from RHEL background so i'd never really heard of adduser until recfent. | 16:30 |
| Pici | nailora: Thats all you need to do. You may want to also drop them in the adm group though, so that they can read logfiles in /var/log/ | 16:31 |
| indian_munnda | Pici, sorry buddy i know that but RHEL people not helping me in troubleshooting, they are saying to wait for next version of RHEL. So i thought may be i would get some help here. :) | 16:31 |
| nailora | Pici: adm group: there we go :) -- more gotchas like that ? | 16:31 |

| ALBASL | my printer is working on my Vista but it dose not work with ubuntu.... why??? | 16:32 |

| indian_munnda | albech: when it starts loading /sbin/loader then it give the error "Kernel Panic: Fatal exception". | 16:36 |
| nailora | Healer: you might give gajim i try if you do not need multi-protocol support but just plain jabber | 16:36 |
| thune3 | ALBASL: is printer detected? what do you mean by "not work"? where is the failure? | 16:36 |

| p1l0t | If my CD-ROM has a physical id od 0.0.0 is that a problem? | 16:36 |
| bagels | if I had access to ethernet, my problem would be solved. | 16:37 |
| albech | indian_munnda, lets not discuss RHEL issues here, but that sounds like you are trying to install a version for a different architecture | 16:37 |
| tahhi | p1l0t, unlikely | 16:37 |
| tahhi | bagels, go get the package on an USB drive and that'll do. | 16:37 |
| indian_munnda | albech, actually my hardware is newer than the software version. :) | 16:37 |
| p1l0t | tahhi you mean unlikely as in that isn't likely to be its id? | 16:37 |
| bazhang | indian_munnda, please stop. | 16:37 |
| ALBASL | thune3: when i plug in the USB nothing happens !! i tried to print from OO but it gave me eror | 16:37 |

| === [SW]Dodge is now known as [SW]Dodge`oFF | ||

| bagels | you know, locally? | 16:44 |
| tahhi | b43-fwcutter will download the drivers from openwrt's server. | 16:44 |
| DarkStar1 | shayaknyc: Can't be done as far as I know since. An account needs to be active on any *nix/Linux machine for any services to be rendered | 16:44 |
| shayaknyc | so then how do servers do this? | 16:45 |
| DarkStar1 | shayaknyc: for security purposes and for logging purposed | 16:45 |
| DarkStar1 | shayaknyc: All servers have only one account! | 16:45 |

| kevin_ | sigh, guess I'll just have to install linux mint as it brings flash by default. Did not want to do that....any way I can get the 64bit flash file from somewhere other than adobe? | 17:05 |
| Izinucs | kevin_: it's in the repos.. no need to get it from adobe.. no need to install mint | 17:05 |
| belisarius | hello? | 17:05 |
| Pici | !hi | belisarius | 17:06 |
| ubottu | belisarius: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 17:06 |
| kevin_ | I installed nonfree...let me try | 17:06 |
| belisarius | Got Ubuntu to start properly now, but now I struggle with the next problems. My sound card audigy 2 zs is recognised, but I get no sound, though the onboard chip is disabled in bios and changed the alsamixer settings in the terminal. | 17:06 |
| DarkStar1 | dolly56: I'll be honest with you. I don't know much about sound problems in Lucid but I did have some troubles with sound lately. My solution was to keep alternating between the different listed hardware in the sound preferences until I foundthe hardware that was best compatible with my sound card | 17:06 |
| sugarmice | I've just installed a Lucid machine using FAI or the first time, and the principle problem I have is that gdm isn't working properly at all. How is gdm configured these days? I'm used to how it works on Debian Lenny, but things are very different in Ubuntu Lucid | 17:07 |
| kevin_ | ty ty it worked with nonfree flash plugin | 17:07 |
| sugarmice | The main problem I have is that there's no list of users presented, and also no way to enter one manually | 17:07 |
| Izinucs | sugarmice: you referring to resolution? | 17:07 |
| dolly56 | mhm ok thanks for the help | 17:07 |
| Izinucs | sugarmice: on boot.. you don't get the login screen asking for user name pass? | 17:08 |
| sugarmice | No- the X server has started fine, at the right resolution, but I can't log in because there's no way to enter a user ID | 17:08 |
| Xent | Mornin everyone, I have a question. I just installed Lucid Lynx, and on every other install I have ever made I have had a wireless bar on the top panel, after activating my wireless card. But this time it is not there and I have had trouble getting my wireless to connect through terminal. | 17:08 |
| Xent | Any advice? | 17:08 |
| phox_ | Hi! This question is kinda hardware-related, but it's for a ubuntu-related problem so ill shoot. On my laptop, i have a bright yellow contact that you can use to connect the laptop to a tv-screen. What is that connection called? S-video? | 17:08 |
| josephnexus | rca | 17:08 |
| DarkStar1 | dolly56: try it and let me know. I couldn't figure out why my sound was working for most apps except for skype. so I kept tampering with the settings and got lucky :D | 17:09 |
| sugarmice | I get what looks like a login screen (it has an icon of a computer, and the computer's DNS name, and the accessibility menu and shutdown/reboot are present at bottom right. | 17:09 |
| === Sup|Lobby is now known as Sup|Away | ||
| phox_ | josephnexus: were you talking to me? | 17:09 |
| josephnexus | yes | 17:09 |
| dolly56 | joa i do that | 17:09 |
| Roasted | Question - I know basic html web design. Is there any way I can customize the default apache web page layout? | 17:09 |
| hobbitriddles | !ping | 17:10 |
| ubottu | pong | 17:10 |
| phox_ | josephnexus: nope i dont think that it's called RCA, that's for sound isnt it? | 17:10 |
| sugarmice | Izinucs: I think the problem may be something to do with the way we have authentication configured here. We use LDAP; there are no local users configured at all (other than the system ones) | 17:10 |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: What's the laptop model I can look it up to see what kind of connection you're talking about | 17:10 |
| josephnexus | phox_ :usually it refers to the 3 cables, left, right, video | 17:10 |
| sugarmice | Izinucs: But since there's no gdm.conf file any more, I have no idea where to look for configuration options | 17:11 |
| Izinucs | !ldap | sugarmice | 17:11 |
| ubottu | sugarmice: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 17:11 |
| sugarmice | Izinucs: Logging in at the text console is working fine | 17:11 |
| phox_ | darkstar1: well the thing is i dont have it here, but it's like 1 year old fujitsu-siemens | 17:11 |
| ainsoph | hello | 17:11 |
| sugarmice | So we know we've got the PAM configuration correct. | 17:11 |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: surely the model number is scribbled on the laptop somewhere | 17:11 |
| Izinucs | sugarmice: not sure if that link will help.. I don't know much about authenticating to an ldap server | 17:11 |
| ainsoph | i have a question | 17:11 |
| phox_ | josephnexus: okey. But i has like several connectors on it, not just a big hole like the rca-cabel | 17:11 |
| Pici | ainsoph: don't ask to ask, just ask. (on one line please) | 17:12 |
| phox_ | darkstar1: ill try and find a picture of the connector | 17:12 |
| ainsoph | let's say i have a .tar.gz program i want to install | 17:12 |
| josephnexus | then that would be s-video phox_ | 17:12 |
| ainsoph | the program says to install it all you have to do is type /mk when you are in the directory it is extracted to in the terminal | 17:12 |
| phox_ | josephnexus: okey i think so too | 17:12 |
| cwest | How to convert .rpm? | 17:12 |
| ainsoph | so i can do that and run it but i have to be in the directory and type ./programname | 17:12 |
| ainsoph | is there a way to install it so i can be in any directory and invoke the program | 17:13 |
| ainsoph | from the terminal | 17:13 |
| ainsoph | the program is sbagen | 17:13 |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: if it looks like this: http://img184.imageshack.us/f/svideodx0.gif/ | 17:13 |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: then it's s-video | 17:13 |
| Pici | !alien | cwest | 17:13 |
| ubottu | cwest: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) | 17:13 |
| phox_ | darkstar1: yeah looks something like that :) | 17:13 |
| cwest | Thanks ubottu | 17:14 |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: glad to be of help | 17:14 |
| ainsoph | anyone? | 17:14 |
| phox_ | darkstar1: im thinking about hooking my laptop up to my old tv, so should i just get a s-video to s-video cable? Or what is it called? Tv-out cable? | 17:14 |
| Pici | ainsoph: Either drop the application itself, or a symlink to the executable into somewhere in your $PATH | 17:14 |
| Gibby | Anyone have dual screens working with Nouveau and a Nvidia card? | 17:14 |
| ainsoph | what does drop mean? | 17:15 |
| Pici | ainsoph: copy/move | 17:15 |
| ainsoph | where would i move it to | 17:15 |
| ainsoph | is there a special directory | 17:15 |
| Pici | ainsoph: sudo ln -s /path/to/executable /usr/local/bin/ | 17:16 |
| * sapersi takes the L, passes to ainsoph, believes it will help | 17:16 | |
| DarkStar1 | phox_: If your TV has S-video then yes but you want to get like an s-video to the three headed(rca?)/scart type | 17:17 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | I am in a folder with a ton of mp3 files, i would like to highlight a good percentage (not all) so i can drag and drop to the media player, how can i do this? | 17:17 |
| phox_ | darkstar1: hm okey ill look into that | 17:17 |
| ScoobyDoo | I'm thinking of updating to the latest version of Ubuntu, I'm sure it won't but if I update will this remove any of my personal files? | 17:17 |
| DarkStar1 | Gibby: what's nouveau? | 17:17 |
| Gibby | DarkStar1, Open Source nvidia card | 17:17 |
| DarkStar1 | ScoobyDoo: No | 17:17 |
| Strangeone | driver ^^ | 17:17 |
| trism | DJ_HaMsTa: click on the first one, scroll down a bit and shift-click another one | 17:17 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | Every time i try to highlight by clicking and holding the mouse it only selects 1 file . | 17:17 |
| ScoobyDoo | DarkStar1: No it won't remove any of my files? | 17:18 |
| DarkStar1 | Gibby: Well I got my dual screens running in Lucid but I use the nVdia PPa | 17:18 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | trism, that works thanks. Is there a way to do it the way its done in windows ? | 17:18 |
| trism | DJ_HaMsTa: I don't know, that's how I do it in windows too | 17:18 |
| Gibby | DarkStar1, I have problems with the nvidia drivers all the time. Nouveau works on 2 others with dual screens but not this one. | 17:19 |

| dolly56 | i have fix my problem | 17:20 |
| Strangeone | are ATI grafik card also supported as well as nvidia? | 17:20 |
| BluesKaj | phox_, if your tv has s-video and your graphics card has s-video out (and you're in north america or japan) then go for it , in europe you'll need a scart type connection at both tv and video out | 17:20 |
| DarkStar1 | Gibby: The open source one had way too many problems for me but I did get dual screen working on it. but the little problems annoyed me | 17:20 |
| dolly56 | my boxxes work now | 17:20 |
| trism | DJ_HaMsTa: although if you're in icon mode, you could click on the whitespace around the icons and drag a selection rectangle to select files too | 17:20 |

| salil | BluesKaj: Nope.. Not that.. I want to automate some nm stuff.. Never mind.. | 17:46 |
| geirha | needsomehelp: Whoever wrote it didn't know what they were doing. It's probably a bash script. bash ./ThomsonKeys.sh | 17:46 |
| needsomehelp | oCean_: what is the first parameter lol | 17:46 |
| oCean_ | needsomehelp: the [[ ]] is a test, but failing, cause there's no $1 specified | 17:46 |
| IdleOne | What does does winff use to play/preview video (xvid) and why doesn't vlc play it? | 17:47 |
| geirha | oCean_: No, because the hash-bang says #!/bin/sh | 17:47 |

| oCean_ | geirha: yeah, so? | 17:47 |
| Nixloz | hello | 17:47 |
| oCean_ | needsomehelp: do you even know what the script basically should do? | 17:47 |
| geirha | oCean_: [[ is a bash-keyword. sh doesn't have it. | 17:48 |

| oCean_ | needsomehelp: ./script 12345 | 17:49 |
| needsomehelp | oh | 17:49 |

| martin__ | But I have other machines that can connect so I know the passphrase and the network config is OK | 17:49 |
| oCean_ | needsomehelp: however, geirha is correct about the 'test' syntax. In /bin/sh it's not in double brackets | 17:50 |
| IdleOne | BluesKaj: where do I get it? third party source? | 17:50 |
| geirha | oCean_: Whoever wrote it probably has /bin/sh symlinked to bash. Typical bashism. | 17:50 |

| jadams_ | where does my couchdb admin interface live? I see nothing on localhost:5984 | 18:20 |
| thune3 | econdudeawesome: PRUNEPATHS has /media in the "blacklist" because /media is very active | 18:20 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: most likely /media is listed in PRUNEPATHS | 18:20 |
| thune3 | econdudeawesome: you should mount permanent partitions in /mnt | 18:21 |
| econdudeawesome | llutz & thune3 yes, /media is in there. Do I need to remove it then? | 18:21 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: yes | 18:21 |
| thune3 | econdudeawesome: i would say no | 18:21 |
| econdudeawesome | thune3 I am fairly sure I did this--how would I check? | 18:21 |
| dweezahr | <izmittt> try nomodeset | 18:21 |
| simar | ping | 18:21 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: that will add all stuff from every media mounted to /media/xxx to your db. if you want that... | 18:21 |

| econdudeawesome | thune3 how would I check to ensure permanent partitions? | 18:22 |

| llutz | econdudeawesome: everything you mount to /media will be added to the locatedb if updatedb runs. you don't want that | 18:25 |
| b0om | why this happening when i want to share ia directory for virtual host | 18:25 |
| izmittt | should remove -- ? | 18:25 |
| dweezahr | no | 18:25 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: because its mostly data, not present all the time. so false positives when using "locate" | 18:25 |
| izmittt | ok | 18:25 |
| dweezahr | only add at the end | 18:25 |
| econdudeawesome | llutz dang. No way to just add the specific file, note the entire partition? | 18:25 |

| john__ | are the linux drivers enough for graphic cards | 18:28 |

| b0om | can i share directory of virtualhost to my desktop pc ? | 18:28 |
| theadmin | econdudeawesome: find DIRECTORY -iname 'filename', basically, will look in DIRECTORY and all subfolders | 18:28 |
| jadams_ | trism, awesome, thanks. What do I do if I want to write an app that interacts with couchdb and I need to know what port it's running on? Because that's kind of odd to me.... | 18:28 |
| Deselect | nothing works right in a chroot | 18:28 |

| theadmin | econdudeawesome: Find supports wildcards, unsure about regexes | 18:32 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: locate and find have both some pro/cons | 18:32 |

| jadams_ | trism, fair, I'm just using it from javascript and not sure if I have a means to query dbus from there | 18:33 |
| theadmin | llutz: So something like this may work? find / -iname '[a-zA-Z]*' | 18:33 |
| unperson | theadmin, That's got it. I needed to use the --frontend option. What's weird is that I swear I tried this before and it did that automatically. | 18:33 |
| john__ | damn anybody listening | 18:33 |
| llutz | econdudeawesome: locate is faster because it just queries the database, find is more flexible etc.pp | 18:33 |
| llutz | theadmin: man find | 18:33 |
| theadmin | llutz: The Linux computer is off, can't ssh there :/ | 18:33 |
| miked595 | craigbass1976: isn't jsp different from javascript | 18:33 |
| unperson | theadmin, I think the problem may be that this time I accidentally connected with X forwarding enabled. I thought that setting the display variable to blank would be good enough, but apparently not. | 18:33 |
| econdudeawesome | llutz fair enough | 18:34 |
| llutz | theadmin: google man (gnu) find | 18:34 |
| thune3 | econdudeawesome: my most common use is just : find . -iname "*whatever*" | 18:34 |
| craigbass1976 | miked595, is regular java | 18:34 |
| miked595 | k | 18:34 |
| b0om | lol i am not trolling | 18:34 |
| econdudeawesome | thune3 sudo find / -iname 'filename' worked excellently | 18:34 |
| drphresh | How do I convert .avi to .mp4? | 18:35 |
| theadmin | llutz: Uh, got it, the -regex flag. Find is kinda weird with one-dash and longer-than-one-letter options :D | 18:35 |
| thune3 | econdudeawesome: bracketing with * never hurts | 18:35 |

| asymptote | I'm unable to watch world cup highlights on the FIFA site. Can anyone view them in firefox? | 18:35 |
| rumbert | craigbass1976: miked595, gets translated on server side to java, generates 'whatever' for client, AFAIK. When client sees it, it could have javascript in it. | 18:36 |

| venik | can I send files using pidgin under gnome? | 18:36 |
| dweezahr | yes | 18:36 |
| craigbass1976 | I'm wondering if there's somethign else I'm supposed to do once I installed JRE... | 18:36 |
| theadmin | venik: Yes. Not on all protocols though, some don't support that from what I heard | 18:36 |
| rumbert | venik: sure. | 18:36 |

| theadmin | venik: Get the latest Pidgin from their site, www.pidgin.im | 18:39 |
| venik | so why is it grayed out? | 18:39 |
| theadmin | tucemiux: Hey, I remember lots of stuff :D | 18:39 |

| venik | I am using pidgin 2.6.6 under gnome (10.04) | 18:40 |
| tucemiux | theadmin, i installed and used it once but then i forgot the name of the app, I was just wondering if there was a trick to remembering this stuff that you only use once and then never again until the next full moon | 18:40 |
| dweezahr | RickyWh: then it can be hacked, small chance tough | 18:40 |
| dweezahr | RickyWh: can you reach it in the real word, can you reset it? | 18:40 |
| RickyWh | dweezahr, no | 18:40 |
| theadmin | venik: The latest is 2.7.1 or something. Get it from their site. Not a big deal since they provide a package which also adds a repo for automatical updating | 18:41 |

| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: if it has a DVD read or write of both capability it will read them etc | 19:06 |
| Traintop | but teamspeak did not work the mix to work... | 19:07 |
| Traintop | s/mix/mic/ | 19:07 |
| p1l0t | ActionParsnip, nah this thing came out before CD-Rs were affordable | 19:07 |
| p1l0t | :P | 19:07 |
| Guest70906 | i could go out and buy some cdr's | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | p1l0t: then it won't be able to read dVDs if it doesn't have the right laser, no amount of coding will make it read DVD | 19:07 |
| makaveli0129 | ActionParsnip: nevermind it did show it has /dev/sdc so to mount would just be sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/test right? | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | makaveli0129: o, /dev/sdc is the device, /dev/sdc1 is the partition, you mount partitions, not drives | 19:08 |

| xloosescrewx | ok thanks | 19:10 |
| xangua | xloosescrewx: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree , you can also install it from the parthenr repository | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | makaveli0129: you could try testdisk to write a partition table to the device then fsck it, Sounds bad though | 19:10 |

| rikkimaru | what reasons could there be for fdisk showing my sd card having a smaller size than it actually does? (http://pastebin.ca/1883035 for a 4GB card) | 19:11 |

| Nixloz | <rikkimaru> unused space on the disk? | 19:12 |
| cousteau | why was sun-java6 dropped to the partner repository? I can't find any page about that | 19:12 |
| Traintop | rikkimaru: "4GB" == 4.000.000 bytes, but fsdisk uses 1024 as multiplier different to the 1000 used by drive-producers | 19:12 |
| makaveli0129 | ActionParsnip: it won't let me format as ntfs | 19:13 |
| Guest70906 | ill figure it out peace | 19:13 |

| Lasivian | I have a 52" LG TV connected to my HDMI port, I have video in gnome and the resolution looks right but it's "too big" as if the video is 56" not 52", and i'm curious how I can fix that | 19:13 |
| celeritas | Traintop, rikkimaru, i thing -h does the human number trick | 19:13 |
| Nixloz | <makaveli0129> that's either when the partition is mounted, or you have to install ntfstools | 19:13 |
| Traintop | celeritas: no, its a labeling-problem of the vendors | 19:13 |
| Traintop | when write 1GB, they mean 1000 MB== 1.000.000 kB, and so on | 19:14 |
| rikkimaru | Traintop, well.. it's only showing 512KB, so i don't think its that | 19:14 |
| celeritas | Traintop, oh i understand. didn't know they did that though | 19:14 |
| Traintop | but linux and windows disc-labels use: 1024 as the multiplier, so 1GB=1024MB=1024*1024kB and so on | 19:15 |
| rikkimaru | celeritas, there aren't any partitions on the disk (as far as fdisk can tell) | 19:15 |
| Nixloz | <rikkimaru> have you tried looking in gparted? | 19:15 |
| makaveli0129 | ActionParsnip: gparted is giving me an "unrecognised disk label" error | 19:15 |
| rikkimaru | Nixloz, yep, shows 512 KB | 19:15 |
| Traintop | so a 4GB disc really is 3.6GB disc | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | makaveli0129: install ntfsprogs | 19:15 |
| Traintop | they just get higher numbers :-) | 19:15 |
| celeritas | rikkimaru, do other operating systems show the card correctly? | 19:15 |
| rikkimaru | Traintop, You're talking about kilobytes vs kebibytes etc | 19:15 |
| blueMOND4Y | o.o | 19:15 |
| rikkimaru | celeritas, nope | 19:15 |
| Nixloz | <rikkimaru> then the drive may actually be damaged... | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | rikkimaru: it may be corrupted, fsck the device | 19:16 |
| blueMOND4Y | so no-ones talking ;O | 19:16 |

| PigeonCluster | <Roasted> what is cinnamon? | 19:16 |
| thune3 | rikkimaru: what command gave you that output? | 19:16 |
| celeritas | rikkimaru, check the partition table on the sd card, maybe only a section was formatted, leaving unused space | 19:16 |
| blalb | hello. I've butchered my window manager. do you know how I can restore the defaults without reinstalling everything? | 19:16 |
| rikkimaru | ActionParsnip, it's FAT | 19:16 |
| rikkimaru | thune3, fdisk -l | 19:16 |
| blalb | im running ubuntu netbook edition | 19:16 |
| Traintop | rikkimaru: yes, but I don't like the new abbrevations either... the old way would have worked if people were just a bit more aware of this | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | rikkimaru: not the most robust file system, you can fsck fat partitions | 19:16 |
| rikkimaru | celeritas, fdisk doesn't show any partitions, where else can i check? | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | blalb: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace should be ok | 19:17 |
| rikkimaru | ActionParsnip, fsck.vfat "Logical sector size is zero." | 19:17 |

| === urlwallace_ is now known as urlwallace | ||
| celeritas | rikkimaru, just looked at the pastebin. looks like your partition table is broken. if their is no sensitive data on the card, try to repartition the card. you will also have to reboot | 19:17 |

| Lasivian | not sure how to fix that | 19:18 |
| rikkimaru | Nixloz, there is no partition to make sdc1 | 19:18 |
| makaveli0129 | ActionParsnip: should it be mount /dev/sdc1? | 19:19 |
| Nixloz | <rikkimaru> are you trying to mount or to format? | 19:19 |
| absrdfun | hello all | 19:19 |
| rikkimaru | Nixloz, i'm trying to get something to show me the card isn't broken | 19:19 |
| rikkimaru | Nixloz, fdisk states it has a total of 512kB, when its a 4GB card | 19:19 |
| thune3 | rikkimaru: is this brand new card. And the pastebin you showed said "Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table" | 19:20 |
| toyman61 | Lucid 64-bit: When I try to download a JNLP-file using Firefox I can choose to open it using OpenJDK Java 6 Web Start (standard). How can I change this so that I can use Sun Java 6 Web Start ? | 19:20 |
| Nixloz | <rikkimaru> you could give testdisk a try, it's capable of rebuilding the parition table without touching the data | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | makaveli0129: if the partition exists, yes | 19:20 |
| rikkimaru | thune3, it's not a new card. I was using it yesterday. I ran mkntfs on a partition and then this happened | 19:20 |
| rikkimaru | Nixloz, the data isn't important to me, but i'll give it a look | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | makaveli0129: i'd use foremost to attempt recover the data from the device. I'd just format it fresh then restore the data from backup | 19:21 |

| zorkmidon | how can I use crontab to change the desktop wallpaper? | 19:25 |

| itguru | xloosescrewx: have you uninstalled flash, rebooted, and then reinstalled? | 19:55 |
| itguru | xloosescrewx: flash is a tricky one, because there is an automated way of doing it for ubuntu | 19:56 |
| xloosescrewx | itguru no i didn't I will uninstall flash then re install | 19:56 |
| iceroot | itguru: no need for reboot. can you paste the output of "dpkg -l flashplugin-nonfree" | 19:56 |

| Epik | iceroot, you seem to be the person to ask, any idea on how to solve my network interface issue? | 19:56 |
| iceroot | itguru: the second one was not for you :) | 19:57 |
| iceroot | Epik: no, because i dont know what the problem is | 19:57 |
| Epik | iceroot: There seems to be somewhat of a known issue with the e1000e driver on Ubuntu, in specific with the "Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)" NIC. Is there a known workaround to set the linkspeed to 100mbit instead of 10? I've tried ethtool etc.. however it will not allow any settings over 10mbit | 19:57 |

| venik212 | an icon labeled FACTORY_IMAGE has appeared on my gnome Desktop (ubuntu 10.04). How do I remove it? It seems to be the boot partition | 19:58 |
| Epik | Okay it seems to be what was installed by default | 19:58 |
| itguru | xloosescrewx: I think iceroot was talking to you | 19:58 |
| Epik | what other options do i have? | 19:58 |
| Epik | <venik212> sudo rm -rf /path/to/file.name | 19:59 |
| dali | icerroot could you help me? | 19:59 |
| venik212 | wouldn't that remove my boot partition? | 19:59 |
| regeya | venik212: just guessing here, I'm GUESSING that that's probably a rescue partition put on your hard drive by the computer manufacturer | 19:59 |
| venik212 | I suspect taht might be really bad, wouldn't it? | 19:59 |
| iceroot | venik212: sounds like a recovry partiton for windows | 20:00 |
| Epik | <venik212> if you were to do sudo rm -rf /boot then yes, however if you were to do sudo rm -rf /boot/path/to/your/file.name | 20:00 |
| Epik | then no | 20:00 |
| Pici | Epik: It sounds like this is a recovery partition for another OS. I don't think that venik212 wants to delete it. | 20:00 |
| Epik | Pici: he asked how to remove it, dont think its up to us what he wants to keep or not | 20:01 |
| iceroot | Epik: remove == umount | 20:01 |

| Roasted | iceroot, wow. a lot... | 20:08 |
| blalb | ActionParsnip, I moved .g* and .config | 20:08 |
| iceroot | Roasted: ah maybe less is a better option then cat :) | 20:08 |

| Seb_ | I try to create an own ubuntu vm with python-vm-builder. It works fine so far, except that it is not using the install_mirror command to use apt-cacher-ng... | 20:10 |
| Roasted | iceroot, so use less in place of cat? less /var/log/whatever? | 20:10 |
| ActionParsnip | blalb: you could copy the folders from the new user to the original after deleting the current ones, then chown to the user | 20:10 |

| BrainBug[BE] | Hello, i've got a problem, when i mount eg /dev/sda5 i can access it like it should (nog fstab entries) but when i then go see at " places -> computer" my partition is gone..? any idea how come? | 20:11 |
| iceroot | kuntau: you can to that in the sudoers file but its not a good idea | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kuntau: if you use terminal, you will get a grace period where the password isnt needed for a while | 20:11 |
| ActionParsnip | kuntau: i wouldnt mess with sudoers either, you can screw your system and need to boot to live cd to fix (not worth it) | 20:12 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I still get a lot back... hmm | 20:12 |
| Roasted | iceroot, would it be in apache config? | 20:12 |
| ActionParsnip | kuntau: if you use terminal, you can use: sudo -i and yu will not need a password til you type: exit | 20:12 |
| iceroot | Roasted: you should look there what file apache is using if you access your domain/ip | 20:13 |
| Seb_ | anyone? | 20:13 |
| Roasted | iceroot, look where? | 20:14 |
| iceroot | Roasted: /var/log/apache2/access.log | 20:14 |
| kuntau | but it kinda annoying | 20:14 |
| jMyles | I want to change the screen resolution of the login screen in lucid. It seems that there are many approaches, which one is best / accurate? | 20:14 |
| kuntau | everthing need to put password | 20:14 |
| kuntau | what a bummer | 20:14 |
| SlidingHorn | kuntau: it is for your own protection that sudo doesn't stay in effect for long (I think 15 min is the default) - It is best to stick with the default settings in this case, as you may inadvertently harm your machine by making changes to the configurations of system files, etcl. | 20:15 |
| grpace | why is 64-bit ubuntu not recommended for everyday desktop use? | 20:15 |
| iceroot | kuntau: no is a great security feature | 20:15 |

| kuntau | then it is just like vista UAC | 20:15 |
| galerien | grpace: some application might not run good because not optimised for 64 | 20:15 |
| iceroot | kuntau: i bet if you disable password-dialog, in one week you would ask here "i have killed my system because i am always root, what can i do" | 20:15 |
| oCean_ | grpace: the wording of that advise is not the best it could be | 20:15 |

| dali | what could be the reason for me seing to slow the videos from net? | 20:16 |
| SlidingHorn | kuntau: not sure what that feature is on vista, but if it is...it's a knockoff of sudo instead of the other way around ;) | 20:16 |
| Pici | Seb_: Most Linux distros do give you root access by default. | 20:16 |

| kuntau | how do i disable it | 20:17 |
| iceroot | kuntau: man sudoers | 20:17 |

| oCean_ | kuntau: it's NOT appreciated here | 20:20 |
| blalb | ActionParsnip, I copied over the new user's entire home folder, but nothing changed. Ubuntu still ignores the session I pick with the Login Screen program for me but does not do so for the new user | 20:21 |
| kuntau | so back to question how do i create root password | 20:21 |
| SlidingHorn | kuntau: when it comes to the time limit for sudoers, you would edit the timestamp_timeout option in the sudoers file, although I wouldn't recommend it. Read more here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man5/sudoers.5.html | 20:21 |
| galerien | ok, never mind, I rebooted and It worked again | 20:21 |
| iceroot | kuntau: create a root-user doesnt help with your problm in the gui | 20:21 |
| walbert1 | sudo su to get a root shell, and then passwd to set a password | 20:21 |
| iceroot | walbert1: dont use sudo su, use sudo -i | 20:22 |
| grpace | iceroot... ubuntu is on a separate drive, with xampp and many add-ons installed... i gotta redo all this if i install 64-bit? | 20:22 |
| iceroot | grpace: yes | 20:22 |

| blalb | does anyone know of user-related settings files outside the home folder? | 20:24 |
| iceroot | blalb: for what? | 20:24 |
| iceroot | blalb: normally there is everything in ~/.name-of-the-app | 20:24 |
| blalb | iceroot: for some reason ubuntu ignores the session I pick using the "login screen" program in gnome's settings. It doesn't do this for new users, though. | 20:26 |
| gixgix | from the command line, how do i open the current directory in a window? | 20:26 |
| SlidingHorn | gixgix: depending on what flavor of ubuntu (for normal ubuntu) you'd type: nautilus /dir/location/ | 20:27 |
| iceroot | gixgix: nautilus . i guess | 20:27 |
| gixgix | ah, splendid | 20:27 |
| gixgix | thanks | 20:27 |
| blalb | iceroot: I can hand pick what session to use from the login screen, but the settings manager that I can use while logged in now has no effect | 20:27 |
| Roasted | so, quick question. If I want to edit the default layout of the index page on apache, what is the file to edit the html coding in? Is it /var/www/index.html? Somehow when I edit this file - NOTHING happens... | 20:27 |
| iceroot | blalb: what you mean with "sesson" | 20:28 |
| blalb | iceroot: I can pick between GNOME, Ubuntu Netbook Edition, Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2d, and xmonad | 20:28 |
| SlidingHorn | roasted: you have to make sure that you're the owner of the file (or that the file's permissions allow you as another user to edit the file), save the file and then you're all set... | 20:28 |
| oCean_ | Roasted: yes, that's default after install. However, you could check the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default file where the DocumentRoot is | 20:29 |
| vlt | iceroot: Thank you | 20:29 |
| blalb | I'm not sure what session means, but that's the label attached to the drop down menu | 20:29 |
| vlt | I installed glipper. How to start it? | 20:29 |
| Roasted | SlidingHorn, I was editing the file as root with gksudo nautilus.... however when I save it and f5 the page (even ctrl f5) the changes arent applied. | 20:29 |
| iceroot | Roasted: its /var/www/index.html (on debian) so i guess its the same on ubuntu | 20:29 |
| === simar is now known as simar_ | ||
| iceroot | Roasted: but i already told you to look at the log which files is used | 20:29 |
| vlt | `glipper` -> cmd not found | 20:30 |
| iceroot | vlt: type glipper in command line or have a look at the applications-menu | 20:30 |
| Roasted | iceroot, I did look through the logs. Theres a ton of them. Besides, it doesnt make sense that I edited the file and NO changes were made. | 20:30 |
| SlidingHorn | roasted: then I believe your apache is set up differently than I'm used to. Take iceroot's suggestion to view the logs to find out which file is used | 20:30 |
| biagidp | Hi all. I've just upgraded my ubuntu server from 8.04 to 10.04 and I'm getting errors when trying to restart apache about port 80 already being in use. Has anyone had experience with this error after upgrade? | 20:30 |

| sebsebseb | ALBASL: KDM is good, Slim is ok, Debian theme by default if installing from Ubuntu repo, since Ubuntu is based on Debian, its very customizable, easy to theme, some themes on website, could even make your own | 21:23 |

| sebsebseb | ALBASL: what you downloaded was probably for the old log in screen that Ubuntu was using before 9.10, GDM | 21:23 |
| ALBASL | sebsebseb: its GDM.tar.gz | 21:23 |

| micael | anyone knows if there is a program that i can see both music and vids like itunes on my server | 21:45 |
| craigbass1976 | belisarius, I wonder if things were lopping back somehow and causing the overdrive. I'm surprised you didn't get any kind of feedback if the crosstalk was that bad. | 21:45 |
| qgel | _pg: check out clamav | 21:45 |
| qgel | _pg_ | 21:45 |
| craigbass1976 | _pg_, there's an AV (clamav maybe?) but I don't remember the detection rate being that high. My favorite windows cleaner tool is the ubuntu installer. | 21:46 |
| JackStoner | micael, try banshee | 21:46 |
| belisarius | ok, now I hear that scratching again | 21:46 |
| justindisgustin | anyone have any ideas? | 21:46 |
| SlidingHorn | !itunes | micael | 21:46 |
| ubottu | micael: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 21:46 |
| vlt | _pg_: There was a knoppix based distro called knoppicilin (or similar) from a German magazine. Google could help | 21:47 |
| galerien | and if you really, but like really, need Itunes, I guess you can run it on wine | 21:47 |
| micael | JackStoner have tried it but is not working it is onlu seeing my mp3 | 21:47 |
| _pg_ | sweet thanks chaps | 21:47 |
| JackStoner | micael, vlc?? | 21:47 |
| JackStoner | :D | 21:47 |
| SlidingHorn | galerien micael: there are a couple older versions that work partially in wine, but you won't be able to connect to the itunes store | 21:48 |
| micael | jackstoner thanks but i am looking for a mix betwine acdsee and itunes | 21:48 |
| slavik0329 | hey, how can i make a popup notification pop up in X from command line? | 21:49 |
| galerien | SlidingHorn: I've used it like 2 or 3 years ago for an Ipod... i don't know the current situation ;) | 21:49 |
| justindisgustin | anyone know what to do if I get "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) | 21:49 |
| JackStoner | micael, yw, but i think banshee should be pretty useful...have u tried getting the version from their website? | 21:49 |
| micael | SlidingHorn i dont want itunes i want a program like that | 21:49 |
| SlidingHorn | micael: you can check the status of how things work with wine in its appDB - anything below a silver rating basically will mean you're not going to be able to work with it: http://appdb.winehq.org | 21:49 |
| SlidingHorn | micael: then I would recommend banshee | 21:49 |
| vlt | slavik0329: For KDE there's knotify | 21:49 |
| slavik0329 | vlt: and gnome? | 21:50 |
| micael | thanks i will try banshee a bit more and try to get it to see my videos too | 21:50 |
| JackStoner | slavik0329, libnotify ...i think | 21:50 |
| JackStoner | micael, goodluck | 21:51 |

| Benq | Hello, can anyone help? I had a Nvidia Video card, but it stopped working so i had to remove it ... after that, i'm not able to log in ubuntu using the integrated Intel graphics card, what must i do to fix this please, thanks! I'm on a live cd atm | 21:55 |
| sebsebseb | Benq: Did you install the propritary Nivida driver? | 21:56 |
| alejandro | Need help with Ubuntu 10, Toshiba L505D, ACPI issues | 21:56 |
| mneptok | Benq: did you install the proprietary nVidia drivers? if so, go and uninstall them. | 21:56 |
| sebsebseb | Benq: if so well maybe its there still, and that isn't for Intel | 21:56 |
| Benq | how? I'm only able to c the grub, after that all is black | 21:56 |
| SlidingHorn | alejandro: just go ahead with your question. if someone knows a solution they'll answer :) | 21:56 |
| vlt | ChrisSOcha: Does `lsusb` list the camera? | 21:56 |
| === kb is now known as Guest84877 | ||
| Benq | and I had the nvidia drivers automatically installed in ubuntu 10.4 | 21:57 |
| alejandro | I was installing Ubuntu but it didnt boot, so I edit grub and added ACPI=HT . Q: Is that optimum for performance and funcionability ? | 21:57 |
| Epik | Im having trouble getting my network card to use 100mbit full duplex. My network card is ( 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) ) and im using e1000e drivers. I've downloaded the latest driver from Intel, and tried setting my link speed with ethtool. None of this has provided any success. Anyone have any suggestions on how i can achieve at least 100mbit ? | 21:58 |
| ikonia | have you tried foring it with ethtool or mii-tool | 21:58 |
| justindisgustin | anyone know what to do if I get "There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) The desktop boots but somehow the panel looks oddly configured and the ubuntu icon (normally grey) is a [rather cool] orange circle with white icon | 21:59 |
| justindisgustin | also no mouse functionality | 21:59 |
| Epik | when i change the settings with ethtool, it simply drops the connection until i revert back to 10mbit | 21:59 |
| ikonia | Epik: sounds like your switch is a problem then more than your network card | 21:59 |
| sebsebseb | Benq: in the recovery mode, which there should be an option for on Grub, I belive there is still something for fixing xorg, but I don't know if that would actsaully help. | 22:00 |
| Epik | ikonia, there is no issue with the switch. I have anther PC running plugged into the same switch, using the same NIC on however running windows and it works fine | 22:00 |
| ikonia | Epik: that doesn't mean there is no issue with the switch | 22:00 |
| Epik | ikonia, lets assume the issue is not with the switch | 22:01 |
| Epik | what else could i try? | 22:01 |
| ikonia | Epik: why ? why assume that | 22:01 |
| Benq | hmm ya, i'm googling how to uninstall nvidia drivers from a terminal, if that doesnt work i'll try that. thanks sebsebseb :) | 22:01 |
| ikonia | Epik: the card is a sound and well supported card, you have tried to force it to correct speed and the switch drops it off the network, so therefore either a.) you are not configuring it right b.) the switch does not want to run at that speed on that port | 22:01 |
| sebsebseb | Benq: Ok good luck :) | 22:02 |
| Epik | Well, because its a Cisco 3750 that i configured myself and i can see that under show run interface that its setup to 1) auto negotiate and 2) support jumbo frames and 3) allow for 10/100/1000 | 22:02 |
| ikonia | Epik: setting auto neg and then you forcing the card at your end won't work | 22:02 |
| ikonia | Epik: you need to force it at the switch end too for that port | 22:02 |
| Epik | i will disable auto negotiate | 22:03 |
| kmels | What is the default value for /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager? | 22:03 |
| Kyle__ | Hi. Is there a way to not list any users on the login screen? | 22:03 |
| Slart | kmels: it says "metacity" on my system | 22:03 |
| sebsebseb | Kyle__: with GDM 2, I am not sure, but I know that other screens don't just do that | 22:04 |
| kmels | Slart: cheers, I was testing xmonad yesterday and switched back to metacity but Compiz no longer listens to the keyboard shortcuts. | 22:04 |
| sebsebseb | Kyle__: personally I like KDM with multiple accounts, for various reaons, including how it will have the user name of the account that was last logged in showing, then just put in password, and log in | 22:05 |
| Slart | kmels: ehm.. ok.. and setting that fixes it? | 22:06 |
| kmels | Slart: no. I'll re install the packages I guess. | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | kyle__: it's been known to have problems with any distro outside of Fedora, but LXDM (display manager for LXDE) doesn't list the users...just has a text input box for you to enter the user name. Again...it's known to not work well with ubuntu /disclaimer | 22:07 |
| pregier | iirc compiz keyboard shortcuts depend on how it's launched | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | SlidingHorn: LXDM is not known to work well with Ubuntu? | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | kyle__: last I read (which was a while ago, admittedly) | 22:07 |
| SlidingHorn | oops that was supposed to go to sebseb | 22:07 |
| sebsebseb | Kyle__: LXDM is quite nice as well, but by default it will be a Lubuntu screen, saying Lubuntu on it. | 22:08 |
| mneptok | SlidingHorn: errr ... i think the Lubuntu team would disagree with you. | 22:08 |
| DJ_HaMsTa | I used to work with Single Click and UltraVNC listening application to troubleshoot other machines, UltraVNC is only for windows and now im in ubuntu. Is there a similar application that can listen for VNC requests in ubuntu ? | 22:08 |
| * sebsebseb agrees with mneptok | 22:08 | |
| ziggy_ | r: no problem | 22:08 |
| r | :) | 22:08 |
| SlidingHorn | mneptok: like I said...it may not be the case anymore -- it was a while ago when I read that | 22:09 |
| belisarius | I give it up, I have enough of this. I can do what I want and the audio output isn't working properly. On youtube I even get no output at all or rather from the browser. If something so simple like an audio output is that hard to set up I use that HDD for backup purpose and not for linux, because who knows how hard it will become to get the rest set up right. I'm better with windows than... | 22:09 |
| belisarius | ...with linux, so bye bye. | 22:09 |
| sebsebseb | Kyle__: Slim won't list the users by default, and maybe if you set it up yourself to, it could. Get it from Ubuntu repo and you get Debian theme, since Ubuntu is based on Debian. Rather easy to change to other themes, some rather nice ones on the website, and its very customizable doesn't seem to take much for someone to make their own theme. | 22:10 |
| Kyle__ | OK. Thank you. | 22:10 |

| Epik | ikonia, I've verified that the port is correctly functioning by directly connecting a laptop running an inferior OS and performing a speed test. The results were allowing for 100mbit. The problem has been defined as localized to my workstation. The command im using to set my linkspeed it "sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" do you have any further solutions that could help identify the issue? | 22:21 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: a touch pad or? | 22:21 |
| monokrome | It doesn't do this in Windows, and didn't do it before the update | 22:22 |

| monokrome | turning down accelleration helps, but it doesn't resolve the issue. | 22:24 |
| ikonia | Epik: I understand that but you've got to keep it consistant. Have you looked at the syslog (while autoneg is on at both ends) to see what happens when the network is brought up | 22:24 |

| Roasted | sebsebseb, website stats? where at? | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: you would have to install some yourself | 22:30 |
| monokrome | sebsebseb: I have both of those, too. I turn them all down and it still does it. | 22:30 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, any you recommend>? | 22:30 |
| monokrome | It's a software issue because it didn't happen until I updated. | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: thats a bit off topic, but there are loads of them out there | 22:30 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: from 9.10 to 10.04? | 22:31 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, I don't really understand how it's off topic considering it's a question directly relating to my Ubuntu desktop. Is there any that you'd recommend? | 22:31 |
| monokrome | sebsebseb: No, I was already in 10.04 and just ran an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 22:31 |
| monokrome | Installed this OS 2 days ago | 22:31 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: I can't think of any names now, maybe theres one called webstats or something, Google or something, or uhmm even better search sf.net and I guess freshmeat.net as well | 22:31 |

| Devrethman | Is there a way to make connected drives not show up on the desktop? | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: ok np | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: also quite basic or whatever, but | 22:32 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: Google Anaylastists or whatever its called | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: you have the account with them, and then put a bit of code on your webpages, for the stats | 22:33 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, never heard of it, but I'll check up on it and see what I can find. | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: however you can install better stats yourself, on your own web server | 22:33 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, I'd just like to see who's connected to my web server. I don't host much of anything off of it besides dumping stuff there and linking friends tod ownload it (sort of like ftp, but not) | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: well as long as you got PHP and MySQL and such I guess | 22:33 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: there are access logs as someone suggested | 22:34 |
| Ginbun2 | what is the command to launch gnome mixer? | 22:34 |
| Roasted | sebsebseb, yeah, I'm scanning the log directory now. I was just curious if there was a web based solution, like I log in to my web server via firefox and see connected clients and if theyre downloading a larger package, how fast it's going, etc. | 22:34 |
| sebsebseb | Roasted: I guess there are things you can install on to the server for that | 22:35 |
| neur0m4ncer | sebsebseb: DNS has no effect - anything else you could recommend? | 22:35 |

| CppIsWeird | i have a wireless connection on a xubuntu laptop. every time the wireless disconnects it stays disconnected. i think this is because i never created a password store. how do i initiate that process? | 22:36 |
| neur0m4ncer | Okey doke - thanks. | 22:36 |
| monokrome | sebsebseb: I know it's not the mouse because the mouse has a sensitivity changes built into it and it doesn't change the sensitivity of the mouse "wandering" | 22:36 |
| monokrome | Also, it doesn't happen in Windows | 22:36 |

| sebsebseb | monokrome: right yeah, but not happening in Windows isn't that relivant | 22:36 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: except for knowing the hardware still works | 22:36 |
| monokrome | Which is relative to me support the fact that it's a Ubuntu/software issue | 22:37 |
| wildbat | neur0m4ncer, you can try 8.8.8.8 that's google's DNS | 22:37 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: useually installing updates and such go fine, sadly at the moment, you can't just revert an installed update, but it seems maybe the next release or the one after, people will be able to do stuff like that, since btrfs. Which might be the default file system for 10.10 if its stable enough. | 22:38 |
| * monokrome doesn't want to have to code Python in Windows :( | 22:38 | |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: try the Live CD? | 22:38 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: got a Live CD of 10.04? | 22:38 |
| monokrome | works in the live CD | 22:38 |
| neur0m4ncer | wildbat: thanks - I can get to all of my usual sites, just not to xbmc.org - weird, huh? So I've just dug out an old POS lappy that has been sitting unused for a couple years, but should work over Ethernet - and it's XP too. I'll see if that can find it. | 22:39 |
| monokrome | Like I said, I installed the OS 2 days ago and updated today | 22:39 |

| monokrome | sebsebseb: What? | 22:39 |
| sebsebseb | monokrome: well the install isn't that old, so why not just clean install? | 22:40 |

| sebsebseb | Austrian | 22:47 |
| Socket_77 | magnetron: ok, I installed htop sucessfully | 22:47 |
| wildbat | tmas, check in its bootmanager section | 22:47 |
| tmas | wildbat: never mind, found the boot manager on the plop page. Thanks! | 22:47 |
| sebsebseb | tmas: whats plop? | 22:48 |
| wildbat | sebsebseb, no idea the origin of it | 22:48 |
| sebsebseb | wildbat: well .at is Austria | 22:48 |
| tmas | sebsebseb: a linux distro and boot manager, I guess. I've never heard of it 'till now, but I'm going to carry a cd with the boot manager with my everywhere I go from now on, really useful! | 22:49 |
| wildbat | sebsebseb, may ~ but anyone can use .at ~.tw .hk ;p | 22:49 |

| n2diy | PhoenixSTF: Same deal here, five boxes, and only two of them are doing anything. | 22:59 |
| xomp | could someone tell me how to make an existing user account not have permission to change anything outside of it's own directory? | 23:00 |
| PhoenixSTF | n2diy: same here 5 almost 6 now! | 23:00 |
| erUSUL | xomp: do not let that account use sudo ? | 23:01 |
| tle_ | can anyone help me with a problem I'm having with VirtualBox? | 23:01 |
| sebsebseb | !details | tle_ | 23:01 |
| ubottu | tle_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:01 |
| xomp | erUSUL: I have a Linode VPS running ubuntu and had added a user for a server program to run. I would like to make sure that user account is locked to a specific directory. | 23:01 |
| Guest54152 | LjL, he asked to block users | 23:01 |
| tle_ | ubottu: I'm having issues with keyboard input. For instance while trying to install 10.04 in a VM I get the boot menu and can move around but pressing Enter does nothing | 23:01 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 23:01 |
| LjL | Guest54152: err, yes, from executing commands like 'ping' or 'nmap' he said... i.e. local users on his system ;) | 23:02 |
| tle_ | Alright then, in VirtualBox I'm having issues with keyboard input. For instance while trying to install 10.04 in a VM I get the boot menu and can move around but pressing Enter does nothing | 23:02 |
| PhoenixSTF | n2diy: where do i start m8 i read something about the PXE for booting and some proccess sharing program | 23:02 |
| sebsebseb | tle_: a vm with what host OS? | 23:02 |
| tle_ | sebsebseb: Mint | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | tle_: oh | 23:03 |
| erUSUL | xomp: system users (the ones you add for server programs) do not have home nor a login shell nor password... that way nobody can log with that username | 23:03 |
| n2diy | PhoenixSTF: I'd start with synaptic, I came across so clustering sw in there, but don't have the details handy at the moment. | 23:03 |
| sebsebseb | tle_: thats sort of interesting I find, Mint as host, Ubuntu in vm. better the other way round really though :) anyway uhmmm try #vbox for your issue, good luck | 23:03 |
| xomp | erUSUL: I'm pretty sure I can login to my VPS via SSH using the new user account I created with "adduser user" lol | 23:03 |
| tle_ | sebsebseb: thanks | 23:04 |
| xomp | erUSUL: I'm also pretty sure I can "cd /home/user" and write/delete from it :P | 23:04 |
| erUSUL | xomp: you should have used the --system switch | 23:04 |
| erUSUL | xomp: sudo adduser --system whatever | 23:04 |
| sapersi | i used geany from the synaptics package manger,t hank you sir | 23:04 |
| xomp | erUSUL: what does --system do exactly? Is it too late to alter the existing user account at all? | 23:05 |
| PhoenixSTF | n2diy: have you heard of PVm or MPI, and also LTSP? | 23:05 |
| justindisgustin | I'm using an aspire one and have lost trackpad functionality. any ideas? | 23:06 |
| erUSUL | xomp: read the fine adduser manpage :) it is placed in nogroup group with shell pinting to /bin/false (and logins disabled) | 23:06 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: What kind of clustering you do depends on the application. | 23:06 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome i think vm mostly | 23:07 |
| xomp | erUSUL: but I need to have logins enabled so that I can stop/start/restart the processes from time to time heh. | 23:07 |
| magnetron | xomp: no need. you can use su for that | 23:07 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: what applications can we run? besides vm? | 23:07 |
| n2diy | PhoenixSTF: LTSP, yes, the others I'm not sure of. I spent a good deal of time in synaptic last week, checking out each package, not quit down yet either, currently I'm in the "Ws" | 23:07 |
| xomp | magnetron: oh I completely forgot about su!! | 23:07 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: Anything, but how it is clustered changes the design generally | 23:07 |
| davidmatthew | i got a emachine em250, currently i can't get the mic to work and that is both the built in mic and the mic jack | 23:08 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: Clustering generally means having fail-over, and things like Heartbeat are perfect for that | 23:08 |
| uLinux | Need help deleting some shortcuts (that dont delete) | 23:08 |
| magnetron | uLinux: explain the problem to the channel | 23:08 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: like for apache and stuff? | 23:08 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: but like I said, it depends what you want to "cluster" | 23:08 |
| PhoenixSTF | i whant processing power and memory | 23:09 |
| n2diy | PhoenixSTF: I thought LTSP was a long term support project, at first glance. | 23:09 |
| uLinux | I uninstalled Wine .. then I deleted Wine shortcut but then it moved some shortcuts to Other menu | 23:09 |
| xomp | magnetron: is it possible to change an already existing user account to this --system thing that erUSUL mentioned? | 23:09 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: a typical design for apache would be to have n+1 number of apache servers, sitting behind "load balancers", ideally hardware load balancers, but you can get away with a pair of machines running heartbeat and balance. | 23:09 |
| PhoenixSTF | n2diy:sorry my bad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSP-Cluster | 23:09 |
| erUSUL | xomp: usermod ? | 23:09 |
| magnetron | xomp: yes. | 23:09 |
| chrome | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, its not a clustering system per se, though it can help with building cluster nodes that are diskless. | 23:10 |
| xomp | erUSUL: usermod? sorry I'm not very familiar with linux that much heh | 23:10 |
| uLinux | i hate these bugs | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | xomp: is a command similar to adduser that lets you edit existing accounts | 23:10 |
| tucemiux | anyone knows how to make the wireless applet reappear? | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | xomp: man usermod | 23:10 |
| xomp | erUSUL: ok thanks | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | tucemiux: alt + f2 --> run nm-applet | 23:11 |
| uLinux | I can hide those shortcuts but can't deleter | 23:11 |
| uLinux | delete | 23:11 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: well im not doing any apache for now so resouce sharing (processing, memory, etc) is the way to go for me right now | 23:11 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: and yes bootless nodes is also a way to go, for old machines without HDD or for having the latest kernel alive! | 23:12 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: thats a different kind of cluster, and generally applications need to be designed to work with that kind of cluster. | 23:12 |
| n2diy | PhoenixSTF: Don't think I can play with that, now 64 bit cpus here. | 23:12 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: I don't think the idea you have of clustering is actually what it is. | 23:12 |
| n2diy | _no_ | 23:12 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: What you want to look at for what your idea of clustering is, is Beowulf | 23:12 |
| tucemiux | erusul, im running applet in command line, it wont restart, DEBUG: old state indicates... | 23:12 |

| PhoenixSTF | chrome: beowulf yes its good but how can i use ubuntu server with that? | 23:13 |
| magnetron | Usuario305: set your client to use "passive mode" | 23:13 |
| chrome | I have no idea. | 23:13 |
| nnick | r | 23:13 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: or how can i set up one | 23:13 |
| Usuario305 | quote PASV? | 23:13 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: you need to think about WHAT it is you are actually trying to achieve | 23:13 |
| pregier | PhoenixSTF, every cluster is different, and the cardinal rule for these questions is usually "it depends on the application" | 23:14 |
| magnetron | Usuario305: it needs client support. depends on the client on how you enable it | 23:14 |
| Usuario305 | i am using ftp from terminal | 23:14 |
| masterkorp | .quit | 23:14 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: If you want to plug two machines together and have a "machine" that is the sum of all the resources, and expect a program to transparently migrate between the two machines as if it was two seperate CPUs, then you're misunderstanding what most clusters are. | 23:14 |
| === richard is now known as Guest30628 | ||
| Usuario305 | i typed quote PASV and it says 227 Entering Passive Mode (195,74,38,22,91,252) but still i get same message when ls | 23:14 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: example! i got a few machines and wanted to run Virtual machines to run renders, or any type of aplication the user wants thruu the virtual machine | 23:14 |
| magnetron | Usuario305: pass the -p switch when starting ftp. " ftp -p server etc.etc." | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | Usuario305: try lftp ? | 23:15 |
| Usuario305 | ok thanks mangetron | 23:15 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: and that is not a cluster? | 23:15 |
| xomp | erUSUL: looking at the man page for usermod, I'm starting to think it may be simpler for me to just create a new user with the --system switch like you mentioned and just cp all the files over haha | 23:15 |
| uLinux | no one helps cya | 23:15 |
| Usuario305 | it worked now.. thanks | 23:16 |
| magnetron | Usuario305: "quote" just passes commands to the SERVER not the client. that's why i said you need to use client specific commands. | 23:16 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: thats not how clusters work | 23:16 |
| magnetron | Usuario305: "man ftp" will give you the details | 23:16 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: they might work like that in your brain | 23:16 |
| Usuario305 | ok thanks :) | 23:16 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: then again sorry my bad notion of whats what! | 23:17 |
| gothenburg | nepp | 23:17 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: and thanks for the explanation ;) | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | xomp: ok; good luck | 23:17 |
| magnetron | gothenburg: eru go eller? | 23:17 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: so whats it called the big machines made of machines? | 23:17 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: there are *compute* clusters, which have specially designed applications that target special APIs that can do things like access memory on another machine, and farm out 'processing' units out to other CPUs on other machines, and they are clusters | 23:17 |
| xomp | erUSUL: that should work right? I don't want to be wasting time on a fools errand if I can avoid it heh. | 23:18 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: but you can't just take virtualbox and stick it on a compute cluster and have it "use" all the memory and CPU across all the machines | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | xomp: should work yes | 23:18 |
| gothenburg | magnetron: nej | 23:18 |
| gothenburg | jag är förbannad | 23:18 |
| xomp | erUSUL: cheers for this :) | 23:18 |
| erUSUL | xomp: no problem | 23:18 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: For standard software, what a cluster will give you is fail-over and high availability | 23:18 |
| Usuario305 | ni är svenskar :p | 23:18 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: but nothing of that processing stuff? | 23:19 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: N+1 machines in a cluster, with say MySQL running on one machine, will allow you to migrate the MySQL instance to the other machine in a few seconds if the primary machine dies. | 23:19 |
| erUSUL | !sv | 23:19 |
| ubottu | Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du på #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se | 23:19 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: yes i know that type of migration fail safe, is also used to update servers and etc! | 23:20 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: Generally speaking if the application isn't designed for that specific cluster API then no, it's not going to work in the way you think it will. | 23:20 |
| tucemiux | erUSUL, this is really weird, I just installed lucid from an ISO, the wireless nm-app wont show up automatically if I'm on a wireless site my laptop is not configured to use so now I cant fire up nm-applet and search for AP's and attempt to connect to whatever is available without security | 23:20 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: so i cant connect like 5 machines and make it all work has one and run multiples VM??? | 23:20 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: You can connect 5 machines and run 5 VMs on it, one per machine, and have one die and have one of the other 4 pick up the VM from the dead machine. | 23:21 |
| erUSUL | tucemiux: nm-applet does not work ? what errors do you get ? | 23:21 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: There is some stuff out there for doing memory mirroring, so that if you lose a machine, the process can be "continued" on another machine transparently, but that stuff is quite expensive. | 23:22 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: so it would be like 4 fail safes... not realy what i whanted, and its of the self stuff | 23:23 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: beowulf allows you to build a logical machine that is the sum of it's servers; but again a process running on beowulf only exists on one physical machine at a time. | 23:23 |
| PhoenixSTF | like multiples cores on a computer! | 23:23 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome:like multiples cores on a computer | 23:24 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: it can only allocate memory on one machine, and can only use cpu on one machine unless the application is written to use the memory sharing APIs | 23:24 |
| tucemiux | erUSUL, it works the way I just mentioned. nm-applet did not show up automatically when I turned my laptop on. I attempted to start the applet and I got the error I told you about previously when I was on my phone. I had to manually go to "Network Conections" and configure SSID on the AP first then nm-applet appeared in its usual place, is this a bug or a "feature"? | 23:24 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: no, you're not going to get a VM to spread over multiple machines like that | 23:24 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: think about what you're asking it to do; you're expecting memory access to go over the network | 23:24 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: again, there ARE hardware architectures that support that kind of thing but they are very very expensive, as they have high speed interconnects between the nodes. | 23:25 |
| chrome | and again. the applications need to be written to support it | 23:25 |
| chrome | your idea of what clustering is, is wrong | 23:25 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: ok chrome thanks for the insight! | 23:25 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: and any tutorial on that fail over n+1? | 23:26 |
| xomp | erUSUL: I just did "adduser --system xomp" on my VPS and it says it successfully added the new user with nogroup etc.. but when I "su xomp" it does nothing and I'm left still at the "root" prompt. Did I mess something up here? | 23:26 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: not what i expected but still usefull | 23:26 |
| cn1109 | Hello, How can I install php4? It seems that the package is missing? | 23:26 |
| magnetron | cn1109: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 23:27 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: Heartbeat should be your first port of call, and it'll run happily on ubuntu server | 23:27 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: ill search for it, and see what i can get out of it! | 23:28 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: you'll also need a shared filesystem of some description | 23:28 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: that choice really depends on your budget | 23:28 |
| undecim1 | Is it safe to install grub 2 from an i386 live cd (knoppix) for use on an amd64 system? | 23:28 |
| cn1109 | magnetron: Ubuntu Server (latest version) | 23:28 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: budget old machines nobody whants! lol THnaks again m8 ;) | 23:29 |
| DIL | n | 23:29 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: if you have lots of them, pick two and plug in lots of shared scsi disk, export it via NFS and use heartbeat for failover (you can only mount it on one machine at a time) | 23:30 |
| chrome | or if you're feeling fancy, look at iSCSI. | 23:30 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: sorry m8 only satas and ide!!!!!! | 23:30 |
| chrome | sucks to be you then :P | 23:31 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: it seems im out of my league! | 23:31 |
| cn1109 | okay. So... I'm still looking for php4-mysql | 23:31 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: yah sucks to be me | 23:31 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: lol thanks m8 sorry for the questions, and cheers ;) | 23:31 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: iscsi from a bunch of machines, with drbd to replicate between them and failover for the iscsi target | 23:32 |
| magnetron | cn1109: my guess is that it's too old to be included in new versions of ubuntu, especially the LTS versions | 23:32 |
| chrome | PhoenixSTF: the cluster nodes can then mount the iscsi devices directly for particilar filesystems and applications are tied to the filesystem, with the heartbeat setup to fail the filesystem and application to other nodes as required | 23:32 |
| PhoenixSTF | chrome: lol out of my league m8, if i get my hands on one ill let you know! | 23:32 |
| chrome | my contract rate is $75/hour :P | 23:33 |
| PhoenixSTF | thanks again! | 23:33 |
| tucemiux | anyone knows how to install mp3 nonfree software using apt-get ? | 23:33 |
| PhoenixSTF | LOL | 23:33 |
| PhoenixSTF | LOL | 23:33 |
| PhoenixSTF | good to know :P | 23:33 |
| sebsebseb | tucemiux: MP3 codecs? | 23:34 |
| === XFGolden is now known as XFGoldenBBL | ||
| magnetron | tucemiux: install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extras" with the Software Center (or use apt-get or aptitude or synaptic if you understand them better) | 23:34 |
| tucemiux | sebsebseb, i just found out theyre the restricted extras | 23:34 |
| sebsebseb | tucemiux: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras yeah | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | tucemiux: will give you MP3 and AVI and some other stuff | 23:35 |
| shomon | hi, my opengl setup is not working at all since I upgraded from 8.06 to lucid | 23:35 |
| tucemiux | magnetron, ubuntu-restricted-extras it is, im identifying all the packages I have to download manually and putting a script together so that when I reimage my machine Ill just run the sscript and all my appz are installed | 23:35 |
| shomon | even glxgears doesn't work. Any idea how to fix it? | 23:35 |
| sebsebseb | shomon: 8.04 to Lucid you mean | 23:36 |
| shomon | yes | 23:36 |
| shomon | sorry | 23:36 |
| sebsebseb | shomon: you installed propritary driver in 10.04? | 23:36 |
| shomon | Actually I thought the proprietary driver was the problem | 23:36 |
| magnetron | tucemiux: 'dpkg --get-selections' will produce a list of all installed packages | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | shomon: yes may be, whats the actsaul problem? | 23:37 |
| sebsebseb | shomon: try re installing it | 23:37 |
| shomon | ok sebsebseb | 23:37 |
| tmas | Anyone know how I can get past verizon blocking HTTP requests? | 23:37 |
| magnetron | tucemiux: that list can later be passed to apt-get to install all those packages | 23:37 |
| FireCrotch | tmas: maybe if you explain the problem a little better than that | 23:38 |
| uLinux | damn alacarte buggy | 23:38 |
| tucemiux | magnetron, i have my own specific list of appz that i use, i just have a one liner using apt-get that installs all of those appz, every time I reimage a machine I try to figure out the name of the package that I can include to my little one line script | 23:38 |
| uLinux | sometimes ubuntu sucks | 23:39 |
| shomon | sebsebseb, what is the package name for the proprietary driver? I had fglrx | 23:39 |
| shomon | but not sure if that's the one to use | 23:39 |
| tucemiux | uLinux, yes sometimes it does, thats why we have this channel, if you ever run into problems just login to the channel and ask, all in one line and maybe someone will be able to help you | 23:40 |
| tmas | FireCrotch: I'm really not sure how to. Verizon is blocking incoming HTTP requests. | 23:40 |
| uLinux | or not | 23:40 |
| FireCrotch | tmas: Are you sure they're not just blocking incoming traffic on port 80? | 23:40 |
| coolkehon | hi | 23:40 |
| tucemiux | uLinux, if no one is able to help you right now you can wait and ask later, you can also try the forums | 23:40 |
| coolkehon | good god 1500nicks | 23:40 |
| uLinux | now I just want to restore those Wine shortcuts reinstalled didn't put it on the menus | 23:41 |
| coolkehon | where can I find StyleBats for conky, it gives me weird symbols | 23:41 |
| mneptok | tmas: most ISPs block port 80 for residential accounts. use another port, or get a business account. | 23:41 |
| xomp | anyone?: I just did "adduser --system xomp" on my VPS and it says it successfully added the new user with nogroup etc.. but when I "su xomp" it does nothing and I'm left still at the "root" prompt. Did I mess something up here? | 23:42 |
| Loshki | tmas: lots of ISPs don't want you running servers. Some of them will even terminate your service for doing so. Check with your ISP... | 23:42 |
| uLinux | so anyone can help me fixing the damn wine shortcuts? | 23:43 |
| MACscr | so i just tried launching a game in my 3 monitor setup and now two of my monitors are cloned. How can i restore my settings without losing all my open apps | 23:43 |

| seahorse_ | i've heard to stay wtih 173 not go to 177 nVidia driver... | 23:51 |
| magnetron | xomp: maybe you should use some other method of checking if it works, than just looking at the prompt | 23:51 |
| seahorse_ | that 177 fried my latitude | 23:51 |
| monriel | acerimmer: What iRC client you use? | 23:51 |
| xomp | magnetron: well I created a user like this "adduser --system xomp" and it said it created everything fine, there's even now a /home/xomp. When I try to switch to the "xomp" account with "su xomp" it just returns me to the prompt as root. | 23:51 |

| seahorse_ | can't find it on the isntall disc | 23:59 |
| davidmatthew | Guest15140, yeah, it sucks.. but just realized my mic was muted, now both mics work in gnome sound recorder, just nothing works in skype | 23:59 |
| tucemiux | davidmatthew, your mic works just fine, just not with skype most likely | 23:59 |
